Child growth and development is a complex process and takes place as long as the child is in the period of growth and development. Every child has a different speed of growth and development depending on genetic and environmental factors. Early detection through DDTK is very necessary to find early children who experience growth and development deviations so that intervention can be carried out as early as possible, so that the growth and development deviations experienced do not become permanent disabilities. DDTK activities are not only carried out on children who are suspected of having problems, but must be carried out routinely on all toddlers and preschool children so that the child's growth and development is optimal. Based on this, DDTK needs to be carried out on preschool students. The results of the DDTK carried out on PAUD Laboratory School students at Nusantara PGRI Kediri University were found to be mostly normal, namely examination of body weight, height and head circumference. Likewise, the development assessment found that the majority of children had development that was appropriate to the child's age or normal. Many factors influence a child's growth and development. Not only genetics inherited from parents, external factors such as nutritional intake also play an equally important role. To obtain optimal growth and development status, it is necessary to pay attention to the factors that influence flowering plants, especially for parents.

Methodological aspects of using quotations in modern Russian language textbooks
Authors: Parysheva E. V.
Published: March 2024

The article examines the issue of using quotations in modern Russian language textbooks for middle school. The research is relevant since many studies analyse quotations primarily as a linguistic phenomenon, while their methodological potential has not been studied yet. As quotations have considerable educational potential, they become part of the background knowledge and intertextual thesaurus of the linguistic personality. The research materials included two textbooks and one complex of teaching materials on the Russian language for years 5–9. The study pays close attention to three aspects, namely the textbook definitions of a quotation, the functions of quotations, and their sources. The article describes specific features of working with textbook quotations, as well as analyses and summarises the types of proposed assignments. The analysis reveals that in modern textbooks, quotations are included in the theoretical text as arguments and references to expert opinion. If a quotation is used as an epigraph or the basis for creating one’s own speech product, its axiological and educative potential comes to the fore. In general, the tasks the authors of the textbooks propose are similar and of a reproductive type. Questions aimed at explaining the statement meaning do not fully reveal the value potential of the quotation. The paper concludes that systematic work with quotations should be based on the following principles: 1) taking into account the formal and semantic aspects of the statement; 2) establishing a connection with the source text and the sociocultural context of the statement; 3) dialogicality; 4) focus on students’ personal experience and interests; 5) conscious memorisation.
Structural semantic features dominant in the poetics of Yu.V. Bondarev’s works about the Great Patriotic War (to the 100th anniversary of the birth)
Authors: Vasilieva-Shalneva T. B.
Published: March 2024

The article aims to show the evolution of the significant structural semantic features dominant in the poetics of Yu.V. Bondarev’s works about the Great Patriotic War. The principal research methods are structural semantic and comparative-contrastive analysis. To achieve the goal, the study consistently reveals the specific features of the poetics of the writer’s early novellas "The Battalions Request Fire" and "The Last Shot", as well as the novel "The Hot Snow". Based on the comparison of the obtained results, the paper concludes that the poetics of the writer’s works about the Great Patriotic War evolved in the course of time. Moreover, specific forms of such changes are indicated. The dominant features of Yu.V. Bondarev’s poetics are the protagonist’s specific confessional discourse, the chronotope locality, the leitmotif opposition between the images of lyrical and tragic planes, the expressiveness of the eclectic detail, cinematographicity, sensory language, the semantic significance of the finales. These features are manifested in the writer’s early works about the Great Patriotic War, as well as in his novel "The Hot Snow". The novellas "The Battalions Request Fire" and "The Last Shots" are considered within the framework of the leading genre model of "lieutenant prose", i. e. the genre of the frontline lyric novella. "The Hot Snow" is studied as a lyric-epic novel about the Great Patriotic War. The novel retains some features of the frontline lyrical novella, while others are taken to a new level. In "The Hot Snow" novel, the confessional discourse is enhanced with a rational-analytical component; the chronotope of the work, while retaining its locality, acquires the specificity of a documentary one. Details (object, portrait, landscape, interior, psychological) are actively used, but at the same time they are generalised to a symbolic level. Yu.V. Bondarev’s cinematographic vision is enriched with new forms and techniques; the linguo-sensory system becomes intricate and includes components previously not used by the writer. The novel finale is not abstract, but conceptual. These dominant structural semantic features of the poetics of Yu. V. Bondarev’s works make it possible to determine the genesis of his novelistic creativity and conclude that the writer’s artistic thinking evolved.
Descriptions in V.V. Nabokov’s texts: perfecting techniques in competition with the cinematic language (to the 125th anniversary of the birth)
Authors: Evtushenko O. V.
Published: March 2024

The article discusses innovative techniques for constructing descriptions in V.V. Nabokov’s texts "Camera Obscura" ("Laughter In The Night") and "The Enchanter". The relevance of the topic is due, on the one hand, to the unsettled issue of identifying invariant description features and attributing the peripheral forms of description. On the other hand, there are no works that fully reveal V.V. Nabokov’s technique of creating descriptions. The research is based on advances in the study of this author’s visual poetics, interest in which has been growing in recent years. The article used lexico-semantic, morphological, syntactic analysis of individual linguistic units. Moreover, linguostylistic text analysis, intertextual and semiotic analysis, content analysis were employed in conjunction with a comparative analysis of the two texts reflecting the dynamics of V.V. Nabokov’s individual style. The study has shown that descriptive fragments in the texts by this author mostly do not have clear boundaries and can overlap or alternate with the narrative even within the same sentence. The article proposes to call this technique "fusion style". It is concluded that one of the important functions of V.V. Nabokov’s descriptions is the embodiment of the film of life mega-metaphor. The language of description borrows techniques from the cinematic language, for instance, montage techniques, double exposure through superimposure, and sound images. The research has identified stylistic devices that can iconically embody cinematic language elements. These include blending, ellipsis, extended allusions, double similes, and paronomasia. The paper concludes that the density of these techniques in V.V. Nabokov’s texts increases as he gains mastery. It is shown that the writer objectifies visual poetics with the help of such linguistic means as embedded structures and absolute constructions, enumerations, groups of nominal sentences.
I.S. Shmelyov’s "Last Supper": the image of bread and wine in the epic "The Sun of the Dead"
Authors: Dimitrieva O. A.
Published: March 2024

The article examines the bread and wine image in the epic "The Sun of the Dead" (1923) by I.S. Shmelyov (1873–1950). The relevance of the research is connected with studying the culinary and gastronomic code represented in the work by the lexical units of the bread series and wine. The topicality is also proved by studying the poetics of the text and determining the role of everyday details in it, thus making it possible to trace the character’s spiritual world and his environment. The article aims to consider how the lexical units bread and wine function in the text of the epic and to identify the specific features of the individual authorial interpretation of these lexemes and their derivatives. The research employs lexico-semantic, contextual methods and partly statical analysis using data from the National Corpus of the Russian Language. It is shown that bread names (khleb, khlebets, khlebushko/khlebushek, khlebniy) are key in the epic and carry an axiological load. Bread is a form of payment, a method and unit of measurement, the highest value. The article concludes that bread turns out to be the centre around which people’s relationships are built and certain aspects of character manifestation, as well as a person’s attitude towards animals (as to a comrade in grief, and not a piece of meat) are depicted. It has been established that bread symbols (for example, future coulibiac/kulebyachka budushchaya, gingerbread/pryanik) can be a way of expressing ethical evaluation. The article also highlights that the motif of transforming wine into blood modifies its sacral function. The Eucharist sacrament is carried out in the reverse order: blood becomes wine. The objective world and the animal world are often depicted allegorically, revealing relationships between people.

Published: March 2024

The pursuit of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) has captivated researchers and industry leaders alike, promising a future where machines possess human-like cognitive abilities. However, this ambitious endeavor is fraught with multifaceted challenges and ethical dilemmas that necessitate careful examination. This critical review surveys the landscape of AGI research, identifying key hurdles and ethical considerations while outlining potential pathways forward. Firstly, technical challenges loom large on the path to AGI. These encompass fundamental problems such as developing robust learning algorithms capable of generalizing across diverse domains, as well as engineering systems that can exhibit adaptive and autonomous behavior akin to human intelligence. Additionally, ensuring the safety and reliability of AGI systems presents a formidable obstacle, with concerns ranging from algorithmic bias to the potential for catastrophic outcomes in unanticipated scenarios. Ethical considerations permeate every facet of AGI development and deployment. Questions of accountability, transparency, and control surface as central concerns, as the implications of relinquishing decision-making authority to autonomous systems raise profound ethical dilemmas. Moreover, the socio-economic ramifications of widespread AGI adoption, including job displacement and inequality, demand careful scrutiny and proactive mitigation strategies. Navigating these challenges requires a concerted effort from interdisciplinary stakeholders. Collaboration between computer scientists, ethicists, policymakers, and the public is essential to establish robust frameworks for the responsible development and deployment of AGI. Moreover, fostering an inclusive dialogue that prioritizes ethical principles and societal values is paramount in shaping a future where AGI augments human capabilities while safeguarding against potential risks. While the pursuit of AGI holds immense promise, its realization demands a holistic approach that addresses technical challenges alongside ethical considerations. By charting a path forward that prioritizes safety, transparency, and ethical governance, we can harness the transformative potential of AGI while ensuring its alignment with human values and interests.

Background: They are rare glial tumors that share characteristics with astrocytomas, ependymomas and sometimes other glial neoplasms, and can be difficult to diagnose. Method: We present the case of a 57-year-old female patient admitted with subacute headache, seizures, visual disturbances associated with 2/5 left hemiparesis for 2 weeks Result: Cerebral MRI showed a voluminous left parietal-rolandic lesion with dual tissue and cystic components taking up contrast in a heterogeneous fashion, suggesting a cystic glioma or an atypical meningioma. The patient underwent total excision via a direct approach, with histological examination favouring an Astroblastomea proliferation Ki67 estimated at 10%, with postoperative follow-up radiotherapy. The patient is alive and being followed up at the consultation. The radiological and histopathological features and treatment of this case are described, with a review of the literature. Conclusion: In addition to their own histological features, Astroblastomas share certain molecular and histological findings with other, possibly ontologically related, cortical-based gliomas, mainly in children and young adults. Importantly, the presence of BRAFV600E mutations in a subset of Astroblastomas suggests the potential clinical utility of targeted anti-BRAF

Published: March 2024

Anemia in pregnancy is a potential danger to the mother and child. Therefore, the risk of anemia in pregnant women requires serious attention from all relevant parties. Considering the numerous negative effects caused by anemia in pregnant women, efforts must be made to prevent and treat anemia in pregnant women by understanding the factors that influence it. This study assesses the risk factors for anemia in pregnant women at Tegal Rejo Community Health Center, Yogyakarta Province. In this paper, a new integrated classification approach with binary logistic regression (LR) analysis and Rough Set Theory (RST) is proposed, in order to examine factors on the incidence of anemia in pregnancy. The proposed model is called the Logistic Regression and Reduction Rough Set (LR3S). In LR3S model, the RST technique is used to detect inconsistent sample and removing inconsistent sample that have probability less than 0.5 before doing LR modelling. To evaluate the development of the resulting model, a comparison was made of the performance of Original Logistic Regression (OLR), LR model after removed outlier namely as Remove Outlier Original Logistic Regression (RO2LR) and LR3S. Using a number of model performance metrics, it is found that LR3S has the best performance for the three models used. Using LR3S model, it is found that CED status, educational level, parity and gestational are significant variable impact on the incidence of anemia.
A Study of the Attorney Sanction under the U.S. Federal Discovery Law
Authors:   Korean Association Of The Law Of Civil Procedure, Lee Joon Buhm
Published: March 2024

The discovery research group formed by the Supreme Court Judicial Administration Advisory Council proposed revamping the document submission order system. The group proposed remanding Articles 349, 350(1), and 351 of the Civil Procedure Act to strengthen sanctions against the parties and non-parties to ensure the document submission order’s effectiveness. But the proposed amendment does not specify an important method to increase the effectiveness of a document submission order. The proposal does not call for sanctions against the parties' attorneys.
Under U.S. federal discovery law and practice, if discovery obligations are violated, sanctions are sometimes imposed not only on the party but also on the party's attorney if certain requirements are met. Because attorneys gain less from a litigation compared to parties, effectiveness can be secured with weaker financial sanctions against the attorneys.
If a party compensate for the financial losses incurred to the attorney, financial sanctions against an attorney may be less effective. This is because if a party compensates the attorney's financial losses, both the party and the attorney may benefit.
However, even if collusion is expected between the parties and their attorneys, this can be prevented to some extent by designing a system so that the court can impose stronger non-monetary sanctions on the attorneys. If it is suspected that an attorney has colluded with a party, then the court may directly or notify the Korean Bar Association to impose a disciplinary action such as suspension or expulsion, which may limit the attorney's qualifications.
Effect of an Exchange of Causes of Action and a Confession: Focusing on the Supreme Court's April 22, 1997 decision in No. 95DA10204
Authors:   Korean Association Of The Law Of Civil Procedure, Choi Kwangsun
Published: March 2024

This case involved a confession by the defendant to the claims asserted by the plaintiff in the first action. The plaintiff filed a new complaint and dismissed the old complaint through an exchangeable change of claim. The key point of the judgment in this case was that the defendant's confession was extinguished by the plaintiff's withdrawal of the complaint. While the main legal reasoning of this case is reasonable, there are a few more points to consider.
First, the concept of revocation of a confession should be replaced with the concept of lapse of a confession. In this case, the confessing individual is not extinguishing his confession for reasons that would otherwise be attributable to himself. The confession was extinguished because of the exchangeable change of claim, which should be viewed as an effect of lapse of confession.
Second, if the confessor relied on the confession as a defense in a lawsuit before the exchangeable change of claim, it does not extinguish the prior trial confession. This is because the act of procedure has already been formed based on the trial confession and it is necessary to ensure legal stability. It is also noted that the opposite party's consent to the exchangeable change of claim does not include consent to the revocation of the confession, unless there are special circumstances.

Abstract. Discourses concerning the dialectical coming of the Kingdom of God in Christian theology are debatbale, including its time and relationship to the present. This study focuses to find a connection between the dialectic of the Kingdom of God and social transformation, and its implications to the present. In reaching that goal, the Indicative-Imperative method in bibilical ethics is applied. It means that the works and the will of God become the indicative, and the God’s commands or men’s responsibilities become the the imperative. Based on this research, Christian ethics is performed not only as hope and anticipation to the coming of the Kingdom but also as respond and participaton to the Kingdom’s mission. There is a close connection between the Kingdom of God and social transformation. Therefore, the church can perform the Kingdom’s mission in the world as an agent of social transformation.Abstrak. Wacana tentang dialektika kedatangan Kerajaan Allah dalam teologi Kristen mengandung perdebatan, baik terkait waktu kedatangan maupun kaitannya dengan kehidupan saat ini. Fokus tulisan ini adalah meneliti kaitan antara dialektika Kerajaan Allah dan transformasi sosial dan implikasinya bagi kehidupan masa kini. Dalam rangka itu penulis menggunakan pendekatan Indikatif-Imperatif dalam etika Alkitab. Pendekatan ini menjadikan tindakan dan kehendak Allah sebagai indikatif, dan perintah Allah atau tanggung jawab manusia sebagai imperatifnya. Kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa etika Kristen dilakukan bukan hanya sebagai harapan dan antisipasi terhadap datangnya Kerajaan Allah, melainkan juga sebagai respons dan partisipasi terhadap misi Kerajaan Allah. Ada kaitan erat antara Kerajaan Allah dan transformasi sosial. Oleh karena itu, gereja dapat menjalankan misi Kerajaan Allah di dunia sebagai agen transformasi sosial.
Keutamaan Kristus dalam Karya Pemulihan-Nya: Pembacaan Kolose 1:20 Melalui Apokatastasis Balthasar dan Ware

Abstract. This article seeks to show God's work of restoration of all things in order to restore all creation to the order of creation. Using Hans Urs von Balthasar and Kallistos Ware's thoughts on apocatastasis as a lens through which I read Colossians 1:20, I argue that this restoration of all things demonstrates God's Christocentric and comprehensive redemptive work. In Christ, this comprehensive redemption brings a memory to the goodness and beauty of God's creation and has a dimension of hope for all creatures, to be restored to become new creations.Abstrak. Artikel ini berupaya memperlihatkan karya pemulihan Allah atas segala sesuatu yang bertujuan untuk mengembalikan seluruh ciptaan kepada tatanan penciptaan. Dengan menggunakan pemikiran Hans Urs von Balthasar dan Kallistos Ware tentang apokatastasis (konsep pemulihan segala sesuatu) sebagai lensa dalam membaca teks Kolose 1:20, saya beragumen bahwa pemulihan segala sesuatu ini memperlihatkan karya penebusan Allah yang Kristosentris dan bersifat menyeluruh. Di dalam Kristus penebusan yang bersifat menyeluruh ini menghadirkan ingatan kepada kebaikan dan keindahan ciptaan Allah dan berdimensi pengharapan bagi seluruh makhluk, yaitu dipulihkan untuk menjadi ciptaan baru.

Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is the process of removing metal from a workpiece by discharging a sequence of discrete sparks from a highcurrent and voltage electrical arc. Using a sustainable electrical discharge machining (EDM) technique using vegetable basedor conventional dielectric fluid, the objective of thisworkwasto evaluate the material removal rate (MRR), and surface roughness (Ra) ofInconel 718 and electrode wear rate (EWR) of copper (Cu) electrode, respectively. To attain the same viscosity concentration as kerosene fluids, refined, bleached, and deodorized (RBD)palm oil was trans-esterified.In this study, the influence of peak current from 6A to 12A and Pulse duration from 50μsto150μsonthe machinability performance were investigated. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) was used to examine the surface topography of Inconel 718. The outcome demonstrates that for RBD palm oil, modified RBD, and kerosene dielectric fluid, the highest MRR, EWR and Rawereproduced at the highest Ip=12A and ton=150s. When compared to kerosene at the same parameter settings, MRR for RBD palm oil and modified RBD as a dielectric fluid improved by about 49% and decreased by almost 9%.The lowest EWR and Ra, however, are produced by machining with RBD palm oil, modified RBD, and kerosene at Ip=6A and ton=150s.When compared to kerosene and modified RBD, the value of EWR and Ra for RBD palm is marginally greater.Overall, within selected parameters, RBD palm oil yields the greatest outcomes when EDM machiningofInconel 718.

Published: March 2024

Concerns on the low labour shortage and the need to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) generation prompted the industrial player to increase mechanisationduring operation and adopting low carbon footprint mobile platforms. In this paper, a design and analysis study was conducted and reported on a conceptual battery electric vehicle (BEV) for use in the oil palm plantations. With a maximum operating road speed of 30km/hr and harvesting load of 320kg, the BEV will require a minimum operational power of 44.5kW. In accommodating the soggy ground with the demand to navigate narrow and undulating terrains, the proposed BEV was designed to be equipped with an omnidirectional functionality with continuous track, without the use of conventional wheels. Major components arrangement and design for the omnidirectional mechanism are presented in this paper. This preliminary work will also serve as the foundation towards refining the BEV design, especially on the vehicle functionality and manoeuvrability in the plantation sites. Further recommendations are also outlined that will focus on validating the conceptual design and analysis on the total energy generation and consumption of the BEV.

This paper measures economic efficiency of container throughputs with the aid of input-output efficiency ratio of selected terminals across Nigerianseaports. Productivity of a terminal does not equal toits efficiency. Different efficiencies like allocative and technical characterized economic efficiency of a port system.Overall economic efficiency means there is no delay at the port in processing container as all ship, labour and machines are optimally utilized. This research determinedthe overall efficiencies of container throughputs Apapa, Warri, Onne, Calabal and Tin Can Island usingsecondary data (2012-2022) from Nigerian Bureau of Statistics oncontainer cargo throughputs in Nigeria. Total container outputsin (Tonnes) from different terminals with their corresponding inputs variables from number of ship per annum, cranes used and the dock workers net gang hour (ngh) were aggregated together in form of input-output ratio and arrived at each port’s level of overall economic efficiency. The analysis was executed with the aid of R using Stochastic Frontier Analysis(SFA)for each termina/seaport collected data. It was found from the results that;terminals at Onne are most efficient followed by Calabar. Tin can Island terminal efficiency was a slightly higher than that of Apapa as both had a little above average mean efficiency value. Warri terminals are the least while Rivers was not considered for unavailabilityof data. There may be other unexplained factors causing inefficiencies of mostly Apapa, Tin Can and Warri seaports not explained but can be investigated in future research.
