OBSERVATIONS ON THE FUNERARY CONSTRUCTIONS AT POTAISSA (TURDA, CLUJ COUNTY)
Authors: NEMETI Sorin
Published: May 2023

We are publishing here two fragmentary funerary monuments discovered during the archaeological monitoring for the development works in and around the fortress of the Legion V Macedonica at Potaissa in 2021. The two monuments discovered in and near the fortress probably come from a necropolis located nearby and document the existence of large funerary constructions in ancient Potaissa. The first monument, a fragment of a rectangular coping, belongs to the so-called pilaster-type funerary constructions, while the second, the pediment fragment, must be linked to the aedicula-type funerary constructions. We have tried to identify other disparate elements in the sculptural production of Potaissa that document the existence of these types of monuments in order to complete the picture of the architectural-sculptural production for funerary purposes in this provincial city. The findspots of these monuments indicate the distribution of the funerary areas on Fortress Hill near the legionary fortress. Some large monuments that are found in situ, indicate two funerary areas on Fortress Hill pertaining to the canabae civilian settlement: the Szindivölgy-tető point and Fodor Domokos’ vineyard (on Rákos utca) in the Közep-mál area.
Rezumat: Prin acest studiu publicăm două monumente funerare fragmentare descoperite în timpul supravegherii arheologice în castrul legiunii V Macedonica în anul 2021. Cele două monumente descoperite în şi lângă castru provin, probabil, dintr-o necropolă localizată în vecinătate şi documentează existența unor mari construcții funerare în antica Potaissa. Primul monument, un fragment de coronament rectangular, aparține aşa-numitelor construcții funerare de tip pilastru, în timp ce al doilea, un fragment de fronton, trebuie pus în legătură cu construcțiile funerare de tip aedicula. Am încercat să identificăm alte elemente disparate în producția sculpturală din Potaissa care documentează existența acestor tipuri de monumente, pentru a completa tabloul producției sculptural-arhitecturale cu destinație funerară din acest oraş provincial. Locurile de descoperire ale acestor monumente indică distribuția zonelor funerare pe Dealul Cetății, lângă castrul legionar. Unele monumente de mari dimensiuni care sunt găsite in situ indică existența a două zone funerare pe Dealul Cetății aparținând aşezării civile de tip canabae: punctul Szindivölgy-tető şi via lui Fodor Domokos (de pe Rákos utca) în zona Közep-mál.

Authors: PÁZSINT Annamária – Izabella
Published: May 2023

The goal of this paper is to bring under scrutiny the cases of connections between civilian families and the Roman army in Moesia Inferior, in order to map the recruitment pattern of the military. For this purpose, I shall first examine the family networks, which point to recruitment and sometimes social mobility over generations; and secondly, I shall also look at those families whose members do not seem to be all active (of the attested sample) in the army.
Rezumat: Scopul acestui studiu este să aducă în atenție relația dintre familiile civile şi armata romană din Moesia Inferior pentru a identifica modelele de recrutare ale militarilor. Vor fi examinate rețelele familiale care indică modul de recrutare şi, uneori, mobilitatea socială de-a lungul generațiilor; în al doilea rând, vor fi discutate cazurile acelor familii ale căror membri nu par să fie cu toții implicați în armată.

KANTIAN VIEWS OF EMPIRICAL TRUTH
Authors: GOLDBERG Nathaniel
Published: May 2023

Let a Kantian view of empirical truth be any view according to which the truth of empirical claim depends on the truth of non-empirical claims, because subjects (consciously or not) constitute the empirical when applying the non-empirical to experience. Historically the most important such view is Immanuel Kant’s. It is not the only. Rudolf Carnap, Thomas Kuhn, and Donald Davidson held such views. Conversely, Willard van Orman Quine’s view was contrastingly instructive. My aim is to briefly sort all this out in search of lessons about the nature of empirical truth generally.

REVISITING DONALD MOON ON THE MORAL BASIS OF THE DEMOCRATIC WELFARE STATE
Authors: ADEYANJU Olanshile Muideen
Published: May 2023

Donald Moon argues that neither rights nor equality can serve as adequate moral or political basis for a welfare state in addressing the Hegel’s dilemma. The Hegel’s dilemma is that organisation of economic life through the market in a democratic state produces great wealth as well as great poverty and individuals in such state fall in either category. The wide gulf in wealth among individuals in a market economy is a problem which a democratic welfare state seeks to address but, for Moon, rights or equality is not adequate moral and political basis of the welfare state for solving the problem. He proposes the principles of economic management, provision of services and social insurance as alternative and adequate bases for a welfare state in addressing the problem. This paper queries Moon’s proposal. The paper argues that Moon’s proposed institutional principles are inadequate in addressing the problem without a fundamental moral and/or political basis upon which these principles can be justifiably founded. The paper posits that rights provide a plausible and adequate foundational moral and political basis for the principles in order to adequately address the problem created by the market economy without jeopardising the idea of human self-respect.
ETHICAL ASPECTS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FUNCTIONING IN THE XXI CENTURY
Authors: DODONOVA Vira , DODONOV Roman , GORBENKO Kateryna
Published: May 2023

The article is devoted to the ethical aspects of artificial intelligence functioning. The problem of the safe coexistence of man and artificial intelligence is taking on increasing importance. The definition of artificial intelligence and the explanation of the difference between weak, strong artificial intelligence and super-intelligence are given. The first ethical problem of artificial intelligence functioning is the existential question of human redundancy due to the spread of artificial intelligence. The article emphasizes that artificial intelligence, on the one hand, frees a person from certain areas of activity, facilitating their existence, on the other hand, it makes them superfluous in production and in personal life. The second is the problem of responsibility for the actions of artificial intelligence. The article argues for the necessity of human responsibility for the actions of artificial intelligence because artificial intelligence does not have consciousness. The third problem is the intensification of the phenomenon of stupidity in society. Artificial intelligence creates the conditions for the increasing cleverness of some segments of the population and stupidity of others, which can result in even greater mental and property inequality.

Max Weber y las religiones de la India
Authors: Lorenzen David N. , Melgar Tísoc Dahil
Published: May 2023

Este ensayo discute la relevancia actual de las discusiones sobre religión hindú que se encuentran en las obras del famoso sociólogo alemán Max Weber (1864-1920). Históricamente, la aproximación “valor-neutral” de Weber para el estudio de las religiones del mundo puede ser vista como un gran avance sobre las tendencias cristianas y europeas anteriores para analizar las religiones no cristianas por parte de los estudiosos europeos y americanos. Además, Weber utilizó claramente el estudio de las religiones asiáticas como un medio para encontrar una explicación a lo que él vio como el crecimiento más dinámico de las instituciones europeas políticas y económicas. Sus estudios del hinduismo moderno son ahora de valor limitado, principalmente debido a las escasas e inadecuadas fuentes que él utilizó para estudiar este tema. En particular, insistir en la relación entre castas y sectas hindús y equivocadamente propuso un supuesto origen orgiástico de la religión devocional hindú moderna, sin embargo, el análisis de Weber sobre la religión de las clases sociales no-privilegiadas tiene el potencial de ser de gran utilidad para el estudio de los grupos religiosos hindúes de baja casta.

Las mujeres de Hamas: ¿silencio subalterno o voces participativas?
Authors: Aguilar Silva Érika Susana
Published: May 2023

Este artículo tiene el objetivo de indagar y evaluar, con ayuda del enfoque de los estudios subalternos y de la propuesta de la antropóloga sociocultural Saba Mahmood (referente a la agencia o capacidad de acción de las mujeres que participan en movimientos religiosos), el papel de los integrantes femeninos del Movimiento de Resistencia Islámica palestino “Hamas”, desde de su surgimiento en 1987 hasta 2006, cuando el partido político del Movimiento resultara triunfador en las elecciones del Consejo Legislativo.
Se habla de “las mujeres” como una minoría o grupo subalterno que se debate entre el “silencio” o la “sin agencia” y la “voz” participativa, creadora de estrategias de inserción y contestación al contexto específico en que transcurre suexistencia. Las siguientes son algunas de las preguntas que guían el estudio: ¿será que los retratos mediáticos de las mujeres musulmanas (especialmente los divulgados por la prensa o el cine, en los que pervive la definición de lo oriental en contraposición a Occidente) son una muestra auténtica de la realidad palestina? ¿Cabe hablar de un empoderamiento femenino en el interior de Hamas? Si es así, ¿el empoderamiento se traslada a ámbitos tradicionalmente “masculinos” (política, liderazgo, economía, etcétera)?

La Alhambra de Granada: un fractal orientalista en clave poscolonial. Los puntos de vista local y árabe
Authors: González Alcantud José Antonio , Rojo Flores Sandra
Published: May 2023

Este artículo se centra en la Alhambra, de Granada, y de manera colateral en al-Ándalus, en varias de sus direcciones y dimensiones, enmarcadas todas ellas en la reflexión poscolonial. Se sitúa el monumento nazarí en el discurso orientalista clásico para destacar desde el principio su carácter “vivo”. Esto es perceptible incluso en las primeras versiones de los viajeros extranjeros, con Washington Irving como el principal valedor de su viveza, y quien llamó a sus habitantes “hijos de la Alhambra”. en esa línea interpretativa, los autores de este trabajo participaron en el proyecto Memoria oral de la Alhambra, que ofrece la perspectiva local, granadina, del monumento. A través de ella, se pone de relieve uno de los aspectos pocas veces vistos en relación con la Alhambra considerada por regla general como un reflejo de lo paradisíaco, como es su carácter conflictual, guiado tanto por intereses políticos como por apropiaciones identitarias. En la segunda parte, se analiza el problema de la Alhambra en relación con la imagen de al-Ándalus. Aquí se refuerza la crítica a las tesis de E. Said —el Oriente como producto intencionado de Occidente—, donde al-Ándalus queda como una laguna que el autor no conceptualiza. Por otra parte, en contraste con el punto de vista local, se introducen las miradas de los viajeros y los intelectuales árabes que arrancan con la exaltación nostálgica de la patria perdida posterior a la expulsión de moros y judíos de la península, visión que se ha instalado contemporáneamente en el nacionalismo árabe. Esta idea se adecua a realidades en apariencia distintas, como la de Medio Oriente y América latina, pero que comparten rasgos como el exilio, la pérdida y la nostalgia. El artículo concluye con la reflexión sobre cómo los actuales “propietarios del problema”; es decir, los granadinos, confrontan e incluso comparten en alguna medida con los intelectuales árabes el fractal —metáfora física de connotaciones culturales— “Alhambra”.

Published: May 2023

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of East Java rice production in 2018. This study uses a model for measuring the efficiency of stochastic frontier analysis (SFA). Empirical results of these findings indicate that the efficiency of rice production in East Java in 2018 was said to be very efficient in several districts and towns affected by the variable dry milled grain / GKG and irrigation variables, although there are still some districts and towns that cannot be said to be productive. Additionally, the explanatory variable of population growth affects the technical inefficiency of East Java rice production in 2018. Based on the results of this study's review, the practical implications for the government must continue to work to increase the scale and impact of efficiency on rice production, particularly on adding irrigated land to rice commodities, so that rice production can increase to the maximum and domestic food needs can be satisfied. Since the population of Indonesia continues to rise significantly, and rice is in fact a staple food for the people of Indonesia, rice production needs to be increased to ensure national social security. For this reason, it is necessary for the government to pay more attention to policies regarding the use and addition of paddy fields in order to keep optimum domestic rice production.

The goal of this study is to examine the MSMEs sector's defense and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic's slump. Not only is the COVID-19 epidemic wreaking havoc on people's health, but it's also wreaking havoc on the global economy, which has seen a substantial drop. Because the MSMEs sector was formerly a large contributor to Indonesia's Gross Domestic Product, it is one of the sectors most hit by the COVID-19 epidemic. More than half of all MSMEs had previously gone bankrupt and had to close their doors. The drop in product demand resulted in a fall in MSMEs actors revenue turnover, which had an impact on the laid-off workforce. However, in light of the current circumstances and conditions, the government and MSMEs owners are not powerless to find a way out of this downturn. In this epidemic era, the government has partnered with digital e-commerce platforms like as Lazada, Shopee, Bukalapak, Tokopedia, and others to give facilities for MSMEs players to survive and grow their businesses. Furthermore, MSMEs owners take use of the potential of social media to advertise their MSMEs goods, allowing them to continue their company without having to meet with potential customers face to face. Even though the COVID-19 epidemic has not yet finished, this is projected to turn MSMEs into national economic restorers.

„Þú þarft að hafa breitt bak til að vinna í svona“: Reynsla stuðningsfulltrúa af krefjandi hegðun barna í grunnskólum

Krefjandi hegðun grunnskólabarna hefur verið viðfangsefni fjölda rannsókna bæði innanlands sem utan. Stuðningsfulltrúum hefur fjölgað í íslenskum grunnskólum, meðal annars til þess að efla framkvæmd skóla án aðgreiningar, og algengt er að þeir styðji börn vegna krefjandi hegðunar. Í þessari rannsókn, sem byggð er á fyrirbærafræðilegri nálgun, var sjónum því beint að reynslu stuðningsfulltrúa af að styðja við grunnskólabörn sem sýna hegðun sem skólasamfélaginu þykir krefjandi og líðan þeirra í starfi. Sex hálfopin viðtöl voru tekin við stuðningsfulltrúa á Suðvesturlandi og eftirfarandi þemu greind í svörum þeirra: 1) vanlíðan barna er ástæða krefjandi hegðunar, 2) yfirveguð og góð samskipti henta best til að koma til móts við börn, 3) stuðningsfulltrúi er látinn axla ábyrgð á krefjandi hegðun og vinnufriði í skólastofunni en skortir stuðning og 4) undirbúningur og fræðsla fyrir starfið eru mikilvæg. Niðurstöður sýndu að þátttakendur teldu að ástæða hegðunarerfiðleika væri vanlíðan barna og þætti mikilvægt að bregðast við með ró. Þeir lögðu sig fram um að eiga gott samband við nemendur en skortur á viðeigandi fræðslu um hegðun og þarfir barna var áberandi og olli óöryggi. Stuðningur frá samstarfsfólki skipti máli fyrir líðan og úthald stuðningsfulltrúa í starfi með börnum sem sýndu krefjandi hegðun en var oft af skornum skammti. Breytinga er þörf á starfsháttum skóla í stuðningi við hegðun og líðan barna. Nauðsynlegt er að efla fræðslu og þjálfun fyrir allt starfsfólk og einkum fyrir stuðningsfulltrúa ef halda á áfram að fela þeim meginábyrgð á stuðningi við börn með miklar stuðningsþarfir.
Samræðufélagar: Aðferð sem styður við íslenskunám fjöltyngdra nemenda
Authors: Oddsdóttir Rannveig , Gunnþórsdóttir Hermína , Sigurðardóttir Rannveig
Published: May 2023

Fjöltyngdum nemendum af erlendum uppruna hefur fjölgað mikið í íslenskum grunnskólum á undanförnum árum. Margt bendir til þess að efla þurfi kennslu þessara nemenda til að þeir nái nægilega góðum tökum á íslensku. Í þessari grein er sagt frá íhlutunarrannsókn með kennsluaðferð sem byggist á samræðum. Aðferðin á uppruna sinn í Bretlandi og kallast þar Talking Partners en hefur fengið heitið Samræðufélagar í íslenskri þýðingu. Þrír fjöltyngdir nemendur í 2. bekk fengu tíu vikna kennslu með aðferðinni. Íslenskur orðaforði og málnotkun nemendanna voru metin fyrir og eftir íhlutun. Nemendurnir sem fengu kennslu með aðferðinni sýndu góðar framfarir í orðaforða og málnotkun og samanburður við viðmið fyrir eintyngd börn á sama aldri sýndi að framfarirnar voru meiri en almennt má gera ráð fyrir að verði á ekki lengri tíma. Niðurstöðurnar gefa því von um að þessi kennsluaðferð sé árangursrík og kennsluefnið Samræðufélagar geti nýst vel í íslenskum skólum.
Entropy- A Tale of Ice and Fire
Authors: Hirica Iulia-Elena , Pripoae Cristina-Liliana , Pripoae Gabriel-Teodor , Preda Vasile
Published: May 2023

In this review paper, we recall, in a unifying manner, our recent results concerning the Lie symmetries of nonlinear Fokker-Plank equations, associated to the (weighted) Tsallis and Kaniadakis entropies. The special values of the Tsallis parameters, highlighted by the classification of these symmetries, clearly indicate algebraic and geometric invariants which differentiate the Lie algebras involved. We compare these values with the ones previously obtained by several authors, and we try to establish connections between our theoretical families of entropies and specific entropies arising in several applications found in the literature.

We focus on the discovered correlations, but we do not neglect dissimilarities, which might provide -in the future-deeper details for an improved extended panorama of the Tsallis entropies.

Hyperbolic Tangent Like Relied Banach Space Valued Neural Network Multivariate Approximations
Authors: Anastassiou George A.
Published: May 2023

Here we examine the multivariate quantitative approximations of Banach space valued continuous multivariate functions on a box or ℝ
N
, N ∈ ℕ, by the multivariate normalized, quasi-interpolation, Kantorovich type and quadrature type neural network operators. We treat also the case of approximation by iterated operators of the last four types. These approximations are derived by establishing multidimensional Jackson type inequalities involving the multivariate modulus of continuity of the engaged function or its high order Fréchet derivatives. Our multivariate operators are defined by using a multidimensional density function induced by a hyperbolic tangent like sigmoid function. The approximations are pointwise and uniform. The related feed-forward neural network is with one hidden layer.
Reforming the Public Sector in Eastern European and Former Soviet Union Countries: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Vakulenko Veronika , Mattei Giorgia
Published: May 2023

This article applies a systematic literature-based approach to select, analyze, and categorize publications appearing on public sector management (PSM) reforms in Eastern European (EE) and former Soviet Union (FSU) countries. Findings of the literature review reveal the complexity of reformation in the region and point to the multilayered character of the reform processes, including design of the reform content, implementation, and evaluation of achieved results. The analysis, also shows that the reforms’ results are uneven and somewhat controversial. This article contributes by systematizing literature on transforming PSM in EE and FSU countries; analyzing the trajectories of the dominant reforms and finding overlooked topics; providing avenues for future research; and by contextually covering twenty-eight countries that experienced economic transition and significant societal transformations.
Towards Improved Management Within the Cottage Industry: Product Lifecycle Management Case
Authors: Saad Aberkane Mohammed , Youness Farhane
Published: May 2023

Product Lifecycle Management remains a strategy that aims to strengthen the capabilities and competitive advantages of the company. Its implementation and its adoption depend on the problems that are brought back to be solved by this tool as well as its acceptance by the companies that will implement it. Hence, we like to introduce this approach within the cottage industry to improve its competitiveness. For this, we are going to present this article as being the first step towards the introduction of this strategy within the craft sector. So, we aim to investigate the problems faced by the craft sector, the levers favoring the establishment of this kind of approach and to analyse the independence between the problems investigated, the nature of the companies interviewed and their sector of activity. Data was gathered from surveys of 132 craft industries the primary data analysis was performed using excel and SPSS techniques and chi square test. The results affirm that the management and communication problems, as well as problems related to the raw material waste, are the most dominant in the sector. Moreover, our study shows that the problems faced by the sector are independent towards the nature of the company and the sector of activity.
An Inventory Model with Price and Credit Installments-Dependent Demand
Authors: Hasan Rakibul , Siddiqa Ayesha , Roy Tutul Chandra , Amin Al , Daryanto Yosef
Published: May 2023

Financial capability is one of the primary drivers for buyers to make purchases. Therefore, sellers must set an optimum selling price and consider trade credit facilities to attract more demand. This paper proposes an inventory decision model in which customer demand depends on the price and number of credit installments to serve low-abled buyers. This study has developed a demand function with a positive impact on installment policies and the effect of the selling price. Two models have been formulated to optimize the selling price and positive stock time, m total profit, with and without installment policies. Then, numerical examples and sensitivity analysis illustrate the proposed model for different cases. The study has found that the selling price and positive stock time can be optimized. Profits can be higher in the case of an installment facility than in the case without an installment facility. It shows positive responses from the buyer to the installment policy.
