ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the association of polymorphisms in the diacylglycerol acyltransferase ( DGAT ) and leptin ( LEP ) genes with the performance, carcass characteristics, meat quality, and lipid profile of Nellore cattle. A total of 100 intact male Nelore cattle were used to analyze the performance, carcass, physicochemical and centesimal composition, and fatty acid profile of beef. To identify the polymorphisms, the PCR–single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) technique was applied to genomic DNA extracted from muscle tissue. The SSCP technique revealed the presence of four band patterns for the DGAT gene (AC, AD, AE and BB) with five alleles (A, B, C, D and E). For the LEP gene, five band patterns (AA, AB, AC, BB and BC) with three alleles (A, B and C) were observed. For the LEP gene, the AB genotype was associated with higher backfat thickness and ribs weight, while the BB genotype was associated with lower ribs yield; higher hindquarter yield was associated with AC and BB genotypes. Higher contents of C17:0, C18:0 and lower contents of C18:2ω6C, total polyunsaturated fatty acids, total ω6 and ratio of polyunsaturated and saturated fatty acids (PUFA/SFA) were verified for the AC genotype of the LEP gene. The AC and AA genotypes of the LEP gene were associated with higher means of C15:0 and C18:1ω9t. For the DGAT gene, the highest C24:0 content was associated with the AE genotype and the lowest with the AD and BB genotypes. Polymorphisms in the DGAT and LEP genes influence carcass parameters and the lipid profile of the meat of Nellore cattle.

Authors: Bolina Fabrício Longhi , Rodrigues João Paulo Correia
Published: July 2023

Abstract Composite steel decking concrete slabs are an important structural member in building construction. Research on its thermal behavior should be developed to understand its fire performance. In this paper, a comparison of the temperature distribution in the cross-section of steel decking concrete slabs subjected to fire is made through three different procedures: (a) standardized analytical, (b) experimental and (c) numerical. The analytical method was the one proposed in NBR 14323 standard. The experimental tests corresponding to eight real-scale fire tests on composite slabs carried out by the authors. The numerical tests were done for the same configurations of the experimental tests and used the FEA software Abaqus. Steel decking temperatures obtained with NBR 14323 methodologies showed good convergence with the experimental and numerical ones. The same was not observed for the concrete, positive and negative rebar.

Sexual shape dimorphism in Bufo verrucosissimus (Pallas, 1814) from Lake Borçka Karagöl, Türkiye
Authors: Dursun Cantekin , Özdemir Nurhayat , Gül Serkan
Published: July 2023

Sexual dimorphism, i.e., differences in morphology between sexes of a species caused by intersexual differences in the strength or direction of sexual or natural selection, is prevalent throughout the animal kingdom. Contrary to differences in body size, little is known about sexual shape dimorphism in anurans. Here we investigated intersexual shape differences in Bufo verrucosissimus (Pallas, 1814) by taking 27 linear measurements to characterize body morphology of 23 males and 23 females. Relative to their overall body size, males had longer limbs and larger eyes, while females displayed larger parotoid glands and had wider heads. We speculate that these intersexual differences may have arisen due to differences in natural and sexual selection regimes acting on males and females, especially during foraging, mate searching, or intrasexual competition.

A Programmable DNA Roadblock System Using dCas9 and Multivalent Target Sites v2
Authors: not provided priceal
Published: July 2023

A protein roadblock forms when a protein binds DNA and hinders translocation of other DNA binding proteins. These roadblocks can have significant effects on gene expression and regulation as well as DNA binding. Experimental methods for studying the effects of such roadblocks often target endogenous sites or introduce non-variable specific sites into DNAs to create binding sites for artificially introduced protein roadblocks. In this work, we describe a method to create programmable roadblocks using dCas9, a cleavage deficient mutant of the CRISPR effector nuclease Cas9. The programmability allows us to custom design target sites in a synthetic gene intended for in vitro studies. These target sites can be coded with multivalency—in our case, internal restriction sites which can be used in validation studies to verify complete binding of the roadblock. We provide full protocols and sequences and demonstrate how to use the internal restriction sites to verify complete binding of the roadblock. We also provide example results of the effect of DNA roadblocks on the translocation of the restriction endonuclease NdeI, which searches for its cognate site using one dimensional diffusion along DNA. (Thelast stepin this version contains a supplemental video with extra context and tips, as part of the protocols.io Spotlight series, featuring conversations with protocol authors.)
Changes in Bone Mineral Density and Incidence of Fractures during Two Years of Low Dose Glucocorticoid Treatment for Rheumatoid Arthritis: Protocol for a Systematic Review and Individual Participant Data Meta-Analysis v1
Authors: Palmowski Andriko
Published: July 2023

BackgroundGlucocorticoids (GCs) are regularly used drugs in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and lower bone mineral density and fractures are common adverse effects of the treatment with higher GC dosages. However, the effects of low dose (i.e., ≤7.5mg/day) and very low dose (i.e., ≤5mg/day) treatment over longer periods of time (i.e., ≥ 24 months), as often seen in RA, have not been fully elucidated yet. ObjectiveTo conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of individual patient data from long-term randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in RA, which compared low dose GCs to a control treatment, in order to investigate the effects on bone mineral density and incidence of fractures (clinical/symptomatic). Methods We will search the literature to identify published trials which collected data on bone mineral density and/or the incidence of fractures. This will be followed by the acquisition of individual participant data. Included RCTs will be combined to compare bone mineral density and fractures in GC and control groups. To underpin our findings, we will perform additional analyses to identify potential effect modifiers and a sensitivity analysis related to missing data.

Статья посвящена проблеме начального освоения человеком приполярных районов Приуралья и введению в научный оборот новых материалов верхнепалеолитической стоянки Кушеват, исследовавшейся в 2019-2021 гг. Приводятся данные по геолого-геоморфологической ситуации на памятнике, его хронологии и возможным палеогеографическим обстановкам. Характеризуется найденный археологический и фаунистический материал; дается трасологический анализ рога северного оленя со следами рубки и резки. По результатам исследования на Кушевате фиксируется один из этапов пионерного заселения северной части долины р. Оби. Полученные люминесцентные и радиоуглеродные даты позволяют говорить о заселении Нижнего Приобья ранее 30 тыс. л.н. Установлено, что первая половина верхнего палеолита (55-25 тыс. л.н.) в целом характеризуется климатическими обстановками, комфортными для существования древнего человека в приполярной зоне. В качестве аналогов палеогеографических условий на территории Нижнего Приобья в плейстоцене можно рассматривать геолого-геоморфологическую ситуацию на верхнепалеолитических стоянках Северного Предуралья. Приводятся данные по основным памятникам раннего верхнего палеолита в бассейне Печоры и Камы. Сделан вывод о том, что в Северном Приуралье верхнепалеолитические стоянки связаны, как правило, с крупными скоплениями остатков мегафауны, приуроченными к устьевым частям древних балок. Археологические объекты состоят, вероятнее всего, из двух участков, имеющих разные локацию, хозяйственное назначение и материальное сопровождение. К первым относятся жилые зоны, расположенные на площадках вторых террас, прилегающие к курьям. Вторыми участками являются приустьевые зоны современных долин ручьев, где на уровне дна наследуемых древних логов сохраняются массовые остатки мегафауны.

Представлен краткий обзор исследований по теме происхождения цивилизаций в современной археологии Китая и Японии (на материалах изучения памятников эпохи неолита). Анализ публикаций показывает, что в китайской и японской археологии сложились оригинальные научные традиции с собственными методологическими основами и терминологическим аппаратом. Дана характеристика важнейших концепций формирования цивилизации, разработанных исследователями Китая (Су Бинци, Янь Вэньмин, Ли Боцянь, Сюй Хун, Гао Цзянтао) и Японии (Харунари Хидэдзи, Ватанабэ Хироси, Сасаки Фудзио, Ясуда Ёсинори). Показано, что большинство китайских ученых считают становление государства обязательным проявлением перехода общества к стадии цивилизации, однако проблема выделения критериев формирования государства и цивилизации на материалах памятников археологии в настоящее время не решена окончательно. Приводятся примеры археологических признаков формирования цивилизации, предлагаемых китайскими специалистами. В работах японских исследователей связь между возникновением государства и цивилизации не выявлена. Большинство китайских археологов датирует появление цивилизации и первых государственных образований поздним неолитом (культуры давэнь-коу, хуншань, лянчжу, луншаньская культурная общность и др.), ок. 3 500-2 000 лет до н.э. Существуют альтернативные гипотезы — ранний (культура эрлитоу) и поздний (эпоха Чуньцю) бронзовый век. В японской археологии представлены две основные позиции по вопросу о времени сложения цивилизации — эпоха дзёмон (неолит) и период яёй (эпоха палеометалла). Специального историографического исследования требуют внутринаучные и внешние (в т.ч. политические) факторы, оказавшие влияние на формирование современных концепций происхождения цивилизации.

В статье представлены результаты изучения неординарного погребения эпохи энеолита на территории многослойного поселения Шайтанское 4-6, расположенного на берегу одноименного озера в Свердловской обл. В грунтовой могиле овальной формы размерами 1,6 х 0,56 х 0,2 м был похоронен индивидуум в возрасте 18-35 лет. Приводится детальное описание погребального инвентаря, включающего 60 предметов из камня: 3 необычно крупных ножа, сделанных из тонких плиток характерного кремнистого сланца, ближайшие выходы которого встречаются в Северном Казахстане и на Южном Урале; наконечник дротика, 19 наконечников стрел, 18 кремневых пластинок от вкладышевого орудия, шлифованный топор-тесло, комбинированное орудие на пластине, 2 плитки со следами использования и 15 бусин. Оригинальный состав находок — среди них имеются артефакты из сырья «южного» происхождения, а также данные изотопного анализа позволяют рассматривать исследованный объект как свидетельство высокой мобильности, тесных связей и интеграций населения лесного и степного Зауралья в IV-III тыс. до н.э. Энеолитический памятник, который представляют кроме погребения многочисленные артефакты, обнаруженные в слое — керамика разных культурных типов, каменные изделия, в т.ч. крупная серия наконечников стрел и несколько кремневых фигурок, можно трактовать как сложный объект археологического наследия, на территории которого производились, в частности, разнообразные обрядовые действия, ориентированные на поддержание внутренней консолидации коллективов.

Статья посвящена анализу характеристики скита старообрядцев в окрестностях д. Мальцево ведомства Чаусского острога по письменным источникам середины XVIII в. Установлено, что в специальной современной литературе об этом ските и самосожжении в нем существует целый ряд разночтений. Они касаются локализации места самосожжения и количества сгоревших, а также конструктивных особенностей скита. Описание этого скита является одним из наиболее полных и развернутых по сравнению с аналогичными объектами XVIII в. в России. Детальный анализ письменных данных показал, что по конструктивным особенностям он близок к сибирским острогам. Это проявляется в наличии внешней тыновой стены высотой до 2,45 м, а также использовании срубов изб в качестве башен. Такое сходство могло быть обусловлено тем, что в скиту среди проповедников имелись специалисты по организации строительства подобных укреплений и остальные его обитатели были хорошо знакомы с фортификацией Чаусского острога. Случаи использования техники строительства оборонительных сооружений для обустройства старообрядческих скитов в Верхнем Приобье не единичны. Расчет жилого пространства изб показал полное соответствие с письменными данными о количестве укрывшихся в скиту. Поиск в будущем этого объекта археологическими методами представляется не только перспективным, но и важным, поскольку существовавший не более полутора месяцев (май — июнь 1756 г.) и впоследствии сгоревший скит — уникальный памятник начала второй половины XVIII в.

Published: July 2023

The Ukrainian-Latvian team of researchers are dedicated to commit their research to finding out parents’ views on whether school-age children experience anxiety in war-affected areas in Ukraine and ways to reduce it. The research also enables to identify the most common signs of anxiety. The data collection instrument includes a web-based questionnaire developed by researchers from Ukraine using Google Forms. All researchers are involved in sharing the developed web-based questionnaire via social media networks. The research sample includes 1346 parents of school-age children from all the parts of Ukraine, namely, Central, Eastern, Western, Northern, Southern Ukraine and Kyiv. Research findings demonstrate the urgent need to implement targeted psychological and pedagogical influences (the use of technologies, methods and techniques aimed at reducing the level of anxiety in school-aged children) in the educational process of general secondary schools, regardless of whether this process is carried out face-to-face, remotely or in a blended learning format. The conducted research makes it possible to substantiate the necessity of creating a web-based support system for educators to reduce anxiety among school-age children. The current research is carried out within the project “Web-based Support System for Educators to Reduce Children’s Anxiety in War-affected Areas” (Registration No GPK-07/2022).
SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN ACADEMICS: THE PARADIGM OF LEGAL EVALUATION IN LITHUANIA
Authors: Jurka Raimundas , Jurkienė Eglė
Published: July 2023

The article focuses on the insights` analysis of the nowadays relevant social problems, related to sexual harassment in the academics, its legal evaluation in Lithuania. It is discussed, whether sexual harassment situations, that could be faced or happened in academics, could be seen as the ethic, moral violations or even more – criminal deeds. The authors go into deep and analyse the relationships between culprit and victim as they are not equal as such in the academic community. They have vertical relations, for instance, a lecturer and a student, etc. Then the principal question is raised – whether the guilty of the culprit should be proved / argued using presumption of innocence or there is a converse – the words and emotions of a victim take the prior place to incriminate a culprit. Another one question should be seen as the relevant one – does the legal situation change if there are enough assumptions to say “a culprit intended to have intimate relations with the victim”? It is also argued, that one of the biggest problems to uncover the situation’s real face is time of victim’s keeping silence as a victim, usually, is depending on culprit’s will (for instance, the lecturer and the student still have educational relations).
DEVELOPING A CULTURE OF MINDFUL LEARNING: CHALLENGES, BENEFITS, AND OPPORTUNITIES
Authors: Ročāne Maija , Samuseviča Alīda
Published: July 2023

Learning is an individual process for each student. People can be aware of own learning or do not think about it at all in the diverse situations of life. However, in the pedagogical reality, the awareness of students' learning is essential as it contributes to self-regulation of behaviour and self-reflection of actions, striving towards continuous self-development. It is important to be aware of oneself mentally and physically, understanding and accepting own thoughts or feelings. The integration of all areas of personal development becomes relevant, as changes in one area are linked to changes in another. Awareness of own learning directs the learner towards the social, emotional and academic dimension, including not only awareness of the knowledge and acquired skills, but awareness of own goals, motivations, emotions, interests, the personal relevance of the learning content and also the variability of the current situation, strategies for future learning, and other elements of the learning process. Mindfulness can also be seen as a powerful 'antidote' to common mental health problems, e.g. fatigue, exhaustion, apathy, anxiety and difficulty in concentrating.  Mindfulness practices can be implemented at schools as an element of the lesson, but it is also important to purposefully create a culture of mindfulness at the institutional level, which can be greatly facilitated by the professional development of teachers. Mindfulness is a mental state of being reflective in the present moment. It provides the ability to live intensely in the present moment, acceptance of own thoughts and feelings, a sense of perspective and the ability to cope with stressful situations through conscious concentration. The aim of this publication is to analyze the theoretical aspects of mindfulness, the possibilities of facilitating the learning process through mindfulness practices, as well as to carry out empirical research evaluating 16-19-year-old students` self-awareness skills, the phenomenon of the presence of mindfulness in their learning process and its impact on their learning outcomes.
TEACHERS’ PERSPECTIVES ON PROMOTING CHILDREN’S PARTICIPATION IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION
Authors: Delijeva Gunita , Ozola Aija
Published: July 2023

In democratic society, participation is child’s right from an early age. Within early childhood educational practice, teachers should create diverse and meaningful situations in which children can get experience of how to be part of a group or community. The aim of the study was to examine teachers’ perspectives on promoting children’s participation in early childhood education. A survey of teachers involved in 5- and 6-year old children’s preparation for school was conducted. 2419 teachers representing 741 educational institutions of Latvia participated in the survey. Using a 6-point Likert scale, respondents assessed different statements regarding children’s participation in early childhood education. Teachers’ preparedness to carry out the children’s participation in their educational practice was self-assessed as well. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The analysis of the survey data shows that teachers consider children’s participation a significant component of the educational process. The involvement of children in the discussion of important group issues and their influence on decision-making as well as teachers’ respect of children’s questions during the play-based lesson time was ambiguously assessed. Most teachers declare appropriate self-assessed competences to promote children’s participation in their educational practice.

Published: July 2023

The aim of the present study was to analyse the effectiveness of myofascial self-release methods and the use of the tool in the development of strength indicators in the tibia extensor muscles. Instrumental assessment of muscle function was performed on a REV 9000, Technogymᴿ, Italy. The subjects of our study were twenty healthy fitness athletes aged between 20 and 23 years. A set of strength exercises was developed, consisting of 10 exercises focused on increasing the muscle strength of tibia extensor muscles. For the experimental group self-massage with a roller was applied. When applying strength-development exercises with a set of self-release, the dynamics of maximum strength results are as follows: the force balance of the dominant and the non-dominant leg in the control group before (p=0.001) and after (p=0.02) the experiment, and in the experimental group before (p=0.01) and after (p=0.02) the experiment remained unchanged – no significant changes were observed in the results between the groups; - positive dynamics in strength changes were observed for the dominant leg between the control group (p=0.08) and the experimental group (p=0.37) before and after the experiment. The positive increase in the results is in favour of the experimental group, although there are no significant statistical differences in the results of the control group. On the other hand, no differences in the strength dynamics of the non-dominant leg were found.

Published: July 2023

Lithuania prohibited by law any kind of violence against children, however, reported cases as well as previous and resent representative research show that the problem still exists. The state takes various measures to prevent violence against children, and parents’ training is one of such possibilities, however, the parental training in Lithuania is not effective and one possible reason could be that various courses are not based on parents’ needs. The goal of this article is to present data of need analysis which was done as a prerequisite for training course development. The article is based on qualitative study by interviewing parents about their knowledge, perceptions and need for training. Research participants have knowledge about violence against children, they name and discuss physical violence, corporal punishment, neglect, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, however, do not differentiate them strictly. They see the need of parental training in preventing violence against children. The most wanted topics are reasons of the violence, knowledge about child development as they understand that children in different development stages have different needs and parents’ reactions to misbehaviour should be adequate to the development stage. Also, general topic of parenting – what does it mean, how to become a good mother/farther – is named during interviews.

The recognition and development of the rights of transgender people raises various problems, one of which is their possibility to participate in sports. The aim of the article is to identify and analyze the issues of transgenders’ participation in sports, reviewing possible ways of solving them. There used such research methods as analysis of new scientific literature and legal documents, qualitative content and comparative analysis, historical analysis. Study showed that international sports organizations and research bodies do not have a unanimous view how to ensure transgender rights to participate in sports with equality and fairness. New scientific researches may help to change this unclear and ambivalent position as well as established legal regulations and a unified policy of states in this area can help to solve such problems.

Authors: Mazyakin Maxym , Kolesnikov Aтвкун Sergeevych , Krotov Alexander Sergeevych , Kosenko Georgii Mihailovych
Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND: Today, most of the heat that is released during the combustion of fuel in internal combustion engines goes into the environment along with exhaust gases. However, additional energy can be used for refrigeration and air conditioning. Previously, there were only two ways to use exhaust heat for cooling: absorption machines and ejector chillers. But now, thanks to the development of organic Rankine cycles, there are new possibilities for cooling vehicles.
AIMS: Conduct a theoretical analysis of the possibility of introducing mobile air conditioning and refrigeration systems in transport using various types of refrigeration machines that operate on the basis of heat.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Modeling of typical cooling cycles was carried out in the ASPEN HYSYS software environment. The most effective substances were selected from the absence of supercritical conditions.
RESULTS: Depending on the selected cycle type, simulation results were obtained that corresponded to the calculated parameters. The coefficients of performance were determined under various ambient conditions and generator temperatures.
CONCLUSIONS: A theoretical analysis of various cooling cycles for use in transport has been carried out. The results of the calculations show that the task of ensuring the cooling of the cabin or cargo is carried out even in the harsh operating conditions of the refrigeration system.

Published: July 2023

Automatic P-wave arrival detection is the first task in an earthquake early warning systems. This study proposes a novel detection method for this based on a fractal slope (FS). We improved the calculation method of the fractal dimension to increase the calculation speed and proposed a continuous algorithm. Furthermore, we applied FS in conjunction with the short-term average over the long-term average (STA/LTA), named STA/LTA + FS. We designed orthogonal experiments with different parameters and selected a total of 40,020 sets of seismic waves from the Japanese dataset to test the best parameters. A total of 45,302 sets of seismic waves from the STanford EArthquake dataset and the Chinese dataset were selected to test the generality of the proposed method. The results show that the mean error in detection time of the proposed method is +0.042 s for different datasets. In addition, STA/LTA + FS is robust over a wide range of signal-to-noise ratio, epicentral distance, and magnitude, with the percentage of timing errors below 0.5 s higher than 95%.
Geologic and Geophysical Evidence of Repeated Normal Faulting on the Itozawa Fault—the Source of the Mw 6.6 Iwaki Earthquake Triggered by the Mw 9.0 Tohoku-Oki Megathrust Earthquake, Northeast Japan
Authors: Kimura Haruo , Tsutsumi Hiroyuki
Published: July 2023

The 2011 Mw 9.0 Tohoku-Oki earthquake ruptured the 500 km long and 200 km wide convergent plate margin between the North American and Pacific plates, and changed the crustal stress field and triggered widespread seismic activity in northeast Japan. In particular, many crustal earthquakes struck the southern Fukushima area. The largest inland normal-faulting earthquake with Mw 6.6 occurred on the northwest-trending Yunodake fault and the north-northwest-trending Itozawa fault on 11 April 2011. The coseismic surface ruptures appeared along the previously identified active and presumed active faults. To investigate the near-surface structure of the Itozawa fault, we conducted ground-penetrating radar (GPR) profiling across the fault, and two drilling surveys on its hanging-wall and footwall blocks. The GPR survey line about 50 m long was located near the previous trenching site. The GPR two-way travel-time sections were collected by common-offset modes by 50 and 100 MHz GPR systems. We acquired common midpoint ensembles on both sides of the surface rupture for depth conversion of the time sections. The resulting GPR sections show detailed subsurface structures to a depth of about 7 m. We identified event horizons for the 2011, penultimate, antepenultimate, and preantepenultimate earthquakes, indicating that the Itozawa fault has ruptured repeatedly as a normal fault. The vertical displacements during these earthquake events, obtained from the GPR sections, were about 0.8, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.7 m, respectively. These observations suggest that the coseismic surface offset amount on the Itozawa fault varies greatly. The recurrence intervals of surface-rupturing earthquakes on the Itozawa fault, calculated from the previous research and this study, are much longer than those of giant interplate earthquakes along the Japan trench, such as the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake. We conclude that not every giant earthquake along the Japan trench triggers a rupture of the Itozawa fault.

Earthquake risk associated with Quito, Ecuador; Cali, Colombia; and Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic is examined by generating a set of hypothetical earthquake scenarios considering seismic sources, recent seismicity, and major historical earthquakes recorded in the vicinity. In this study, particular focus is given to the development of earthquake scenarios for use in emergency planning in each city as well as stimulating discussion with respect to addressing the gaps in current understanding of built stock inventory and their vulnerability when subjected to strong shaking. Exposure and vulnerability models from the Global Earthquake Model foundation, hazard and local site information available for the cities, and the U.S. Geological Survey near-real-time products are utilized to estimate potential consequences for postearthquake response planning. Results showed that the historic city centers remain the most susceptible to experiencing severe damage resulting in widespread casualties. Similarly, the scenarios highlight areas susceptible to shaking induced ground failure hazards, which may pose additional challenges when responding to such earthquakes. Moderate earthquakes originating from nearby seismic sources, for example, Quito fault system for Quito or the Septentrional fault zone in the case of Santiago de Los Caballeros, could potentially be of greater consequence in terms of direct economic impact and disruption to the city when compared to very large distant subduction interface earthquakes.

Kenyamanan dan keselamatan berkendara menjadi faktor utama disamping kinerja dari mesin kendaraan itu sendiri, salah satunya dipangaruhi oleh sistem suspensi yang berfungsi untuk menyerap getaran dari permukaan jalan. Penelitian ini bertujuan guna mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan shock absorber multi stage dengan empat tingkat kekakuan untuk mengurangi sudut pitching, damper ratio dan efisiensi pengereman pada sepeda motor Honda CB150R. Metode pengujian sudut pitching yaitu dengan menggunakan sensor inclinometer yang terdapat pada aplikasi DashCommand (OBD ELM App) dengan melewati speed bump pada variasi kecepatan. Metode pengujian damper ratio yaitu dengan cara keadaan statis sepeda motor diberikan beban kejut pada shock absorber belakang dan dihitung waktu dan jarak lendutannya. Metode pengujian efisiensi pengereman dilakukan dengan melakukan pengereman penuh pada variasi kecepatan kemudian dihitung waktu pengereman hingga berhenti. Hasil pada penelitian ini memaparkan bahwa adanya pengaruh yang signifikan pada penggunaan shock absorber multi stage dan shock absorber standar terhadap sudut pitching dimana terjadi penurunan sebesar 15 persen pada shock absorber stage ke-1 yaitu 12˚ pada kecepatan 60 km/j. Perbedaan yang signifikan juga dihasilkan pada pengujian damper ratio yaitu terjadi penurunan maksimal pada shock absorber stage ke-1 sebesar 0,61 Ns/cm dengan beban 50 kg. Pada hasil pengujian efisiensi pengereman tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan pada penggunaan shock absorber multi stage pada stage 1,2,3,4 dan shock absorber standar masing-masing menghasilkan efisiensi pengereman sebesar 61 persen, 60 persen, 54 persen, 53 persen dan 51 persen pada kecepatan 20 km/j.

Censorship or Protectionism? Reassessing China’s Regulation of Internet Industry
Authors: Chu Cho-Wen
Published: July 2023

The Chinese government has blocked domestic access to worldwide influential websites such as Google, YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook to different extent for the reason of speech censorship in terms of national security, but the vacancy left by these foreign websites was well fulfilled with China’s indigenous ones, including Baidu, Youku, Sina Weibo, and Renren which provide similar services to their foreign counterparts respectively. The interaction among the Chinese government, those foreign websites, and their Chinese equivalents is reviewed in the current research through critical analysis of political and economic records regarding the development of China’s Internet industry. In the conclusion of this research, economic protectionism is proposed as a complementary or alternative way to interpret the regulatory implications of China’s Internet governance.

MESTERSÉGES INTELLIGENCIA PEDAGÓGIAI HASZNÁLATÁRA VONATKOZÓ HAJLANDÓSÁG VIZSGÁLATA GYÓGYPEDAGÓGUS HALLGATÓK KÖRÉBEN
Authors: Demeter Zsuzsa , Mező Katalin
Published: July 2023

Cél: a mesterséges intelligencia alapú rendszerek, eszközök, szolgáltatások begyűrűztek az élet minden területére, így megjelentek az oktatásban is. Jelen tanulmány célja a leendő gyógypedagógusok véleményeinek megismerése a mesterséges intelligencia (röviden MI) pedagógiai célú használatával kapcsolatban. Módszer: A tanulmányban bemutatásra kerülő vizsgálatban n= 157 gyógypedagógia szakos hallgató véleményének elemzésére került sor, kérdőíves kutatás segítségével. Az eredményeket matematikai statisztikai elemzéssel, az SPSS szoftver segítségével értékeltük ki. A programon belül kereszttáblás elemzést, χ2-tesztet és gyakoriságszámítást alkalmaztunk. Eredmények: a leendő gyógypedagógusok csak nagyon kis százaléka (18,5%) találkozott az eddigi tanulmányai alatt MI eszközökkel és alkalmazásokkal. Az MI eszközök alkalmazását inkább a tanórai tevékenységeken kívül tartják elképzelhetőnek. Az MI használatára való hajlandóság tekintetében nincs szignifikáns különbség az életkor viszonylatában, a 24 év alattiak 59,7%-a , a 24 év felettiek 65 % véli úgy, hogy az MI eszközök szükségesek a gyógypedagógiában, ugyanakkor az MI alkalmazások, eszközök és lehetőségek tekintetében a leendő gyógypedagógusok tudása  nagyon bizonytalan és kevés, ezért szükség lenne a mesterséges intelligenciával kapcsolatos edukáció széles körű elterjesztésére.
