Authors: Utaminingsih Sri , Shella Rachmawaty  , Haryanti Amelia , Hendri
Published: January 2025

Ethics and social responsibility are important aspects in shaping individuals who are responsible and care about society. Students are future agents of change who need to be formed within the framework of ethics and social responsibility. The Pancasila and Citizenship Education Study Program Student Association (HIMA PPKn) understands the importance of this aspect and has started efforts to implement it in a sustainable organisational culture. The purpose of this activity is to strengthen students' ethics and social responsibility through the implementation of a sustainable organisational culture in HIMA PPKn.  The method of implementing this activity involves developing an organisational culture that promotes ethics, integrity, participation in social activities, and self-development. In addition, students also receive counselling related to ethics and social responsibility. Sustainable social programmes are run as a form of positive contribution to society and the environment. The result of this activity is an increased understanding of ethics and social responsibility among students, especially the management of HIMA PPKn. They grow and develop as socially responsible individuals who are able to provide concrete benefits to society. The social programmes run also have a positive impact on the community. Suggestions for the future evaluation and expansion of programs that have been carried out are important steps in strengthening a sustainable organizational culture in developing student ethics and social responsibility. Furthermore, it is hoped that this activity can be an inspiration for other student organisations to strengthen these values in their organisational culture and make a greater contribution to society and the nation.

The Bulgarian Ethnic Model: “Secular” Religion, Denominational Admissibility and Territorial Tolerance
Authors: Chukov Vladimir
Published: January 2025

The so-called The Bulgarian ethnic model is a Bulgarian political philosophy that presents itself as a formula that theorizes the ethno-religious balance in the post-communist society. The paradigm was created immediately after the fall of the regime of the communist dictator Todor Zhivkov and became matter of a fierce discussion of often contradictory opinions. The promoter of the mentioned particular matrix was the emerging post-communist and pro-democracy academic Bulgarian community with their professional invention, not the politicians. The latter rather hindered the public dialogue, being dominant supporters of the various tendencies of the remnants of nationalism. It reflects not only a specific stage of the country’s political development, but also the economic, social and folk-psychological momentum of the local society. Three main factors determine the specificity of the ethno-religious tolerance of the Bulgarian society. In the first place, it is the presence of de facto content oxymoron “secular religion” in the society at the expense of practically zero indoctrination of the religious practices. It is about the irreversible erosion of the public authority of the Christian and Muslim clergy. In the second place, we can note the wonderful stitching of the most statesmanlike, secular Christian denomination – Eastern Orthodoxy and the most tolerant Islamic orthodox school – Hanafi Sunnism. It is about a kind of interreligious harmony. Thirdly, the successful sustainability of the Bulgarian ethno-confessional balance is due to the so-called positional tolerance, relating it to the geographical distribution between the different religious groups.
Mass subsidized mortgage: No extension, no termination?
Authors: Zhirnov G. A.
Published: January 2025

After the launch of mass preferential mortgage program in 2020, subsidizing interest rates on housing loans has become a key factor affecting the primary housing market in Russia. In 2024, the portfolio of preferential mortgage lending approached RUB 9 trillion, indicating the high importance of this factor for the financial sector and the entire economy. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of subsidized mortgage programs and their effect on the socio-economic situation remain a subject of debate among economists, politicians and the public. The paper analyzes the impact of these programs on the residential real estate market, house prices and housing affordability. The core part of the paper contains the estimation of the scale of the substitution effect — the share of subsidized mortgage loans that would have been granted under market conditions. Based on the results obtained, alternative methods of housing support are proposed.
Housing construction in Russia during the 100-year period: Dynamics, results and socio-economic problems
Authors: Pilipenko I. V.
Published: January 2025

The article considers the dynamics of housing construction in the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR — a constituent republic of the Soviet Union) and the Russian Federation from the year of 1918 to 2023. For our analysis, we make use of such indicators as housing completions overall and in urban and rural areas, by source of financing, by segment (apartment buildings and individual houses); the data on the size of the housing stock and its structure depending on the form of ownership; housing availability to the population; quantity, structure and floor space of housing units built as well as number of people who improved their housing conditions. On the basis of the data on housing completions in various segments and changes in the legislation, we identify seven stages in the evolution of housing construction in the RSFSR and the Russian Federation during the century considered as well as characterize each of the stages. The article presents for the first time estimates of the area of total and rural socialized housing stock and the housing stock of the RSFSR that was in the personal ownership of citizens for the years of 1926, 1939, 1949 and for the period from 1958 to 1979. We also pinpoint major current socioeconomic problems in housing construction and suggest measures to resolve them with the aim of raising housing availability and affordability for the population of the Russian Federation.
Macroeconomic factors of housing prices in Russia
Authors: Lysenko G. V.
Published: January 2025

The main household decisions are related to the consumer and housing market, while housing decisions are related to mortgages. Moreover, both markets are significantly influenced by the macroeconomic environment. The paper aims to study the structural relationships between the macroeconomic environment, consumer and housing markets. How do these aspects relate to each other in Russia? To analyze the associations, the Bayesian vector autoregression methodology with sign restrictions is used. The obtained results show that the housing market strongly depends on fluctuations in the consumer market, whereas the inverse dependence is not so strongly manifested. At the same time, the impact of mortgage shocks and monetary conditions has a greater impact on the volume indicators of the consumer and housing markets than on prices. The dynamics of housing prices is more related to the supply of housing, while consumer prices are related to the ruble exchange rate and supply and demand shocks. The impact e of oil prices on the dynamics of both markets is analyzed. Oil prices have the most significant impact on household consumption, mainly through the demand channel. One way of functioning of this channel are the fluctuations of real disposable incomes in response to fluctuations in oil prices. The constructed model built demonstrates acceptable predictive characteristics, outperfoming the best univariate time series models on certain horizons.
Corrosion resistance of modified amorphous cobalt alloys
Authors: Hertsyk O. , Tashak M. , Pandiak N. , Shalko A. , Slobodnyj V.
Published: January 2025

Amorphous metal alloys (AMА) based on Co have high corrosion resistance, which exceeds the durability of samples based on Fe, and also have the properties of soft magnetic materials. Therefore, new cobalt amorphous tape alloys can be used in medicine, in particular, as implants. An important indicator of AMC is the temperature and time interval of their use without a change in properties, that is, their level of stability, which depends on the chemical composition of the alloys and, certainly, on the conditions of production and use. At the same time, the properties of cobalt-based amorphous alloys can be changed by modification in various ways, in particular, by exposure to alternating magnetic fields. In this regard, electrochemical and structural studies of a number of AMAs based on Co are expedient: Co73,6Fe3,2Mn3,2Si5B15, Co73,6(Fe,Ni,Mo,Mn)5,7(Si0,2B0,8)21 and Co75,5Fe4,6Si6B16,7 original and modified in 0.9 % NaCl aqueous solution. The electrochemical characteristics of strip amorphous metal alloys Co73,6Fe3,2Mn3,2Si5B15, Co73,6(Fe,Ni,Mo,Mn)5,7(Si0,2B0,8)21 and Co75,5Fe4,6Si6B16,7 in 0 .9 % NaCl aqueous solution. For the first time, the influence of preliminary exposure in an alternating magnetic field for (0.5–3.0) h on the corrosion resistance of the amorphous Co73,6Fe3,2Mn3,2Si5B15 alloy was evaluated. The activation of the contact surface and the passivation of the outer surface of the alloy tape were established depending on the exposure, which is reflected by the corresponding change in the electrochemical parameters in a 0.9 % NaCl aqueous solution. Comparative comprehensive study of Co73,6Fe3,2Mn3,2Si5B15, Co73,6(Fe,Ni,Mo,Mn)5,7(Si0,2B0,8)21 and Co75,5Fe4,6Si6B16,7 alloys in 0.9 % aqueous solution NaCl showed that after the action of an alternating magnetic field, the difference in the final potential values of both the contact and outer surfaces of the ribbons of amorphous alloys is leveled. Research results are useful for manufacturers and consumers of amorphous materials.

Authors: Anas Ridwan , Hasibuan Gina C R , Nasution M Ihsan
Published: January 2025

The construction of the Trans Sumatra Toll Road or JTTS was initiated as a development strategy and backbone for Indonesia's strategic economic growth. One of the sections that will soon be operational in September 2024 is the Tebing Tinggi-Pematangsiantar Toll Road. Based on Indonesian Law No. 2 2022, the initial road tariff must consider 3 things: the user's ATP (Ability To Pay), the amount of vehicle operating cost benefit (BKBOK), and also the cost recovery of the investment. This study aims to determine the toll tariff based on BKBOK, ATP and WTP. VOC is calculated using the Binamarga 2005 method, VOC model Pd-T-15-2005. ATP is calculated using the Household Budget Method and WTP is calculated using a modification of Stated Preference based on 100 respondents of Class 1 vehicle owners. When calculating the amount of BKBOK, a significant difference in VOC is obtained when the vehicle passes through the toll road compared to passing through non-toll roads, which is Rp. 57,629. This study also shows that the value of travel time is IDR 24,773 per hour, and the value of travel time saving of the Golongan 1 vehicle is IDR 78,035. Travel time savings contribute more benefits than VOC savings, contributing 58% of the total benefits of Rp 135,664 received by the Group 1 toll user, or 35% more than the benefits of VOC savings. The recommended tariff to improve the service of Tebing Tinggi Pematangsiantar Toll Road is between Rp 1055 and Rp 1688 per km, or Rp 47500-Rp 76000. This tariff is willing to be paid by Â± 5%-25% of motorists and able to be paid by Â± 50%-85% of vehicles.

Introduction. In the context of the rapid development of digital educational technologies, the issue of
their use in primary school in order to improve the quality of natural science education for primary school
students is becoming increasingly urgent.
The study was aimed at researching the impact of using a children’s digital laboratory on the development
of primary school students’ ideas of air and water.
Materials and methods. The study involved 56 third-grade students of General Secondary School
No. 11 in Kirov (Russia), including 29 students in the experimental class and 27 students in the control
class. Methods used in the study included analysis of sources, pedagogical experiment, tests “Air and its
protection” and “Water. Transformations and water cycle”, statistical processing of empirical data using
the χ 2 -Pearson criterion.
Results. The pedagogical experiment revealed that a number of concepts about air and water were
difficult for 9-10 year old children to master. Taking into account the objectives of the study, the
capabilities of the sensors and software of the Releon Kids children’s digital laboratory were studied,
and the methodology for teaching primary school students using this laboratory was substantiated.
During the pedagogical experiment, lessons on the surrounding world were held in two classes on the
topics of air and water; in the control class the lessons were held using traditional teaching tools and
methods provided for by the surrounding world program, in the experimental class – using traditional
teaching tools and methods combined with the Releon Kids digital laboratory. The results of the repeated
diagnostics showed that lessons using the children’s digital laboratory had a more effective impact on
the development of third-graders’ concepts about air and water compared to lessons without the use
of the digital laboratory (χ 2 = 15.512; p <0.01).
Conclusion. The data obtained in the study can be used by primary school teachers interested in using the
children’s digital laboratory in the process of developing younger students’ ideas of air and water.

Introduction. The relevance of this research lies in addressing the lack of clear, practical standards for character
education in elementary schools in Indonesia, which remains largely theoretical. The purpose of this article is
to develop a learning model intended as a standard and guideline for teachers in the teaching and learning
process of Pancasila student character profiles at the elementary school level.
Study participant and methods. The research utilized the R&D Borg and Gall method, which involved various
stages from research and information collection to dissemination and implementation. The validation process
included consultations with experts in student character teaching strategies to ensure the model's validity,
design, and contextualization. The trial involved 10 teachers and 100 elementary school students from grades
4, 5, 6 across five different elementary schools in Indonesia.
The results. The results of this study indicate that the Transformative Reflexive Empowering Character Building
(TRECB) Model garnered motivation and interest from 93.3% to 96.6% of students, and there was a significant
improvement in students' understanding of the Pancasila student profile. With an n-gain value of 0.75, the
effectiveness of the TRECB model in enhancing students' understanding and application of the Pancasila
student profile falls into the high category. Statistical observations also reveal a significant difference in the
Pancasila Student Profile among students before and after the integration of the TRECB Model into their
educational experience.
Conclusion. The developed learning model provides a standard and guideline for teachers in character
education at the elementary school level, addressing the lack of clear standards and implementation in character
education in Indonesian elementary schools. The model, refined through expert consultations and trials, offers
an effective approach to teaching and learning character education, paving the way for its implementation in
elementary schools and potentially higher levels of education in the future.
The mediating effect of depression and the moderated mediating effect of self-esteem on the impact of spousal violence victimization on alcohol use disorder in old age: the role of health education
Authors:   Hanseo University, Kim Yun-Jeong
Published: January 2025

The problem and the aim of the study. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating
effect of depression and the moderated mediating effect of self-esteem on the impact of spousal
violence victimization on alcohol use disorder among elderly men and women aged 65 and above
residing in the local community.
Research methods. 506 elderly individuals with spouses and adult children, who had consumed alcohol in
the past year, were selected from the 17th wave of the Korean Welfare Panel Study for model validation.
SPSS Win 24.0 was used for reliability analysis, descriptive statistics, frequency analysis, and correlation
analysis. SPSS PROCESS macro 4.3 ver. (models 4 and 7) was utilized to analyze the mediating and
moderated mediating effects.
Results. First, spousal violence victimization, depression, and alcohol use disorder among the elderly
participants in this study were at low levels, while self-esteem was high. Second, spousal violence
victimization in old age has a positive effect on alcohol use disorder. However, in the mediation model
that included depression, the direct effect of spousal violence victimization on alcohol use disorder
was not statistically significant (Coefficient = .109, p < .05). This means that depression completely
mediates the effect of spousal violence victimization on alcohol use disorder. Third, self-esteem played
a moderated mediating role in the path of spousal violence, depression, and alcohol use disorder in the
elderly (Coefficient = -.311, p < .01). It was revealed that self-esteem buffered the negative influence of
depression on alcohol use disorder.
Conclusion. This study found that it revealed the importance of improving self-esteem in health education
program to break the negative cycle between spousal violence, alcohol use disorder, and depression.
However, it has limitations, as it included many elderly men who consumed alcohol with their spouses,
making generalization difficult. Future research should consider a more balanced sample reflecting gender
distribution and verify variables related to alcohol use disorder in the elderly in South Korea.

Current Perspectives on Computerized Cognitive Remediation: Efficacy and Application
Authors: Caporusso Edoardo , Cardinali Francesca , Bucciarelli Filippo , Razzano Luigi , Piegari Giuseppe
Published: January 2025

Cognitive deficits are a significant feature of many psychiatric and neurological disorders, severely impacting daily functioning and quality of life. Cognitive Remediation (CR) has become an effective therapeutic approach aimed at improving cognitive impairments in a variety of conditions. Numerous studies have consistently shown that CR leads to significant improvements in cognitive performance, especially when integrated with psychosocial interventions. These interventions have been linked to better outcomes in areas such as employment, social interaction, and daily living skills. The digitalization of CR programs has brought important advancements, enhancing accessibility and engagement through personalized, homebased interventions that provide real-time feedback. While some challenges remain, particularly in ensuring the transfer of cognitive improvements to real-world contexts, the overall evidence supports the effectiveness of computerized CR in enhancing both cognitive and functional outcomes. Future research should aim to standardize outcome measures and further explore how to optimize CR's integration into comprehensive treatment plans, ensuring long-term benefits.
Il contributo dell'intelligenza artificiale nella diagnosi dei disturbi neurodegenerativi
Authors: Nappo Raffaele , Simeoli Roberta
Published: January 2025

Le patologie neurodegenerative associate ai disturbi neuro- cognitivi (DNC) rappresentano una emergenza assistenziale dalle dimensioni epidemiologiche sempre più rilevanti. Tale emergenza è destinata ad aumen- tare in relazione a un progressivo aumento della prospettiva di vita, essendo i DNC correlati con l'età. Se è vero che i DNC si manifestano con una franca alterazione delle funzioni cognitive con impatto funzionale nella vita della persona colpita, è altrettanto vero che il processo patologico inizia, molte volte, prima della comparsa della sindrome clinica. In questo intervallo di tempo, anche a distanza di anni dall'esordio del DNC, possono presentarsi quadri clinici più o meno sfumati di disturbo cognitivo accomunati dall'e- tichetta di "disturbo cognitivo lieve" o Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) e di Disturbo Cognitivo Soggettivo o Subjective Cognitive Decline (SCD). Una generale sensibilità a queste forme prodromiche è necessaria per: 1) l'impostazione di un quadro di intervento farmacologico, neuropsicologico ed assistenziale tempestivo ed efficace; 2) l'inserimento della persona in trial clinici per la sperimentazione di farmaci per la stabilizzazione della patolo- gia degenerativa. Ad oggi la distinzione tra invecchiamento normale, forme lievi o soggettive e la loro evoluzione in quadri di DNC maggiori avviene attraverso una attenta anamnesi cognitivo-comportamentale ed una accura- ta valutazione clinica compreso un uso attento e competente degli strumenti cognitivi di screening. Tuttavia, negli ultimi anni, un apporto importante è anche stato offerto dalle tecnologie e nello specifico dall'Intelligenza Artificiale (IA), dal Machi- ne Learning (ML) e dal Deep Learning (DL). Questi strumenti si sono dimo- strati accurati e affidabili: 1) nella rilevazione precoce di un DNC; 2) nella prognosi di una potenziale evoluzione di un DNC lieve in maggiore; 3) nella diagnosi differenziale dei DNC. Il presente lavoro ha l'obiettivo di mostrare in che modo l'applicazione dell'IA, del ML e del DL possa contribuire a una più efficace e tempestiva diagnosi dei disturbi neurodegenerativi.

Authors:   State University of Trade and Economics, Vatulov Andrii V.
Published: January 2025

The article is aimed at revealing and conceptualizing the theoretical and methodological foundations of the system of formation of budget revenues as a component of budget policy. The article analyzes modern domestic and foreign publications on relevant scientific issues. The essence of the system of formation of budget revenues as a component of budget policy is revealed and conceptualized. The elemental composition of budget revenues is determined, the fundamental importance of the tax component of budget revenues is emphasized. The instruments of tax regulation of socioeconomic development are studied from the standpoint of the influence of its elements on economic behavior and the commitment of taxpayers to invest in human or physical capital with the allocation of categories of distortional taxes and non-distortional taxes. The methodological principles of preparation and implementation of tax policy measures are determined, based on the principles of stability, prudence and predictability, which makes it possible to achieve a balance of interests of the authorities and taxpayers. It is proved that the efficiency of the system of formation of budget revenues as part of the budget policy depends on the level of fiscal burden and the structure of taxation. The level of tax burden in 27 countries of the European Union and in Ukraine in the period 2014–2023 is analyzed. The impact of tax measures to stimulate investment flows on the dynamics of household savings and the strategic competitiveness of national economies is revealed. Four typical modes of application of the instruments of tax regulation of socioeconomic development are analyzed. The expediency of structural modernization of the economy to attract foreign investments is determined. The specific features of the process of implementing fiscal decentralization and its prospects in the context of the formation of financially viable territorial communities are disclosed. The priority of compliance with the principle of the rule of law and unconditional protection of property rights, the formation of stable and understandable budget and tax legislation, efficient communication between the authorities and the entrepreneurial sector is determined.

Published: January 2025

The processes accompanied by the migration of community residents, the relocation of businesses, the increase in funding to ensure the security situation in communities where active military hostilities are taking place, the increase in the need to finance social security programs, health care, and housing reconstruction require a significant burden on the financial capabilities of territorial communities (TCs). In turn, financial opportunities form the fiscal environment of the community and determine real achievements in ensuring the socioeconomic standards of life of community residents. Due to the interaction of local self-government bodies (LSGs) with stakeholders in the context of planning and implementation of local budget (LB) indicators, a fiscal space (FS) of TC is formed. Under martial law, research on the theoretical foundations and practical approaches to the planning and use of FS of TCs should be adapted to the priority goals of communities, the search for additional sources of funding, and the optimization of the use of financial resources. The aim of the article is systematizing the theoretical foundations and practical approaches to the planning and use of FS of TC under martial law. The basic element of the functioning of the FS of TC is the fiscal environment, which is formed as a result of the interaction of the economic, legal, financial and social spheres of activity of local development stakeholders. The use of creative instruments of local development (creation of innovative enterprises, development of modern business; formation of high added value; production of goods and services mainly for export; modernization of social infrastructure; increase of the tax capacity of the community; cooperation between municipalities; use of digital technologies and social networks) will allow communities to form their own unique fiscal space.

Authors:   Educational platform «4People», Tymoshenko Olena V. , Kotsiubivska Kateryna I. ,   Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine
Published: January 2025

The article examines topical issues of the development of the sociocultural sphere in Ukraine under martial law. In these difficult times, the sociocultural sphere has become not only a means of self-expression, but also a powerful weapon in the struggle for independence, preservation of unity and international support. The authors have developed a matrix of SWOT analysis of the potential for post-war development of the sociocultural sphere in Ukraine. SWOT analysis and strategic recommendations provide insight into the internal and external factors affecting these institutions, outline effective strategies for increasing competitiveness. On the basis of statistical data, the authors prove that the financing of the sociocultural sphere in Ukraine is carried out mainly at the expense of budget allocations, and, despite the increase in allocations in absolute terms for the development of this sphere, the share of such funding in the structure of GDP remains quite low and does not meet European standards. This has its objective basis, taking into account the outstripping growth in spending on financing the country’s defense capability and strength. The authors emphasize the importance of attracting alternative sources of funding (patronage, public-private partnership, funds from international institutions), which significantly affect the possibility of implementing key areas of development in this area. Financial support of the sociocultural sphere under martial law should have certain special approaches, because this area plays a key role in maintaining national resilience, psychological endurance, patriotic education, unity and preservation of cultural values. It is emphasized that cultural and social institutions can become an attractor of economic growth in the post-war recovery of the country and help transfer our country from the status of the most promising to the status of the world’s leading economies.

Published: January 2025

The purpose of this article is to thouroughly examine the crucial role of social-emotional learning (SEL) in preparing the intellectual elite of the nation, underscoring its significance within modern educational systems worldwide. In addition, the article delves into the history of implementing SEL, discussing its evolution from a supplementary educational tool to a fundamental component of modern curricula. This historical analysis provides context for understanding how SEL has become integral to developing the intellectual and emotional capacities of students globally. Through the analysis of recent research and case studies from various countries, our study demonstrates how SEL fosters essential competencies, including self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. These competencies are not only fundamental for intellectual growth but are also important for preparing the intellectual elite and leaders who are emotionally intelligent and ethically grounded. The research methodology employed in this study integrates a qualitative analysis of existing SEL programs, with a particular focus on their impact on both intellectual development and leadership capabilities; in order to obtain the relevant information, methods of information analysis and generalization were also used. The results support previous studies while extending the understanding of SEL’s unique role in enhancing critical thinking and ethical decision-making. The discussion compares the findings with earlier research, specifically analyzing implications for educational practices and policy-making in countries like Singapore and Ukraine. The study offers valuable insights into the potential of SEL to shape the future of education and leadership development. By addressing the challenges of preparing students for leadership roles in an increasingly complex world, the article argues for the broader implementation of SEL in curricula. The conclusion highlights the prospects for expanding SEL’s role in education, emphasizing its capacity to develop well-rounded, socially responsible leaders who are equipped to navigate the challenges of the future, including roles and jobs that may not yet exist.

Els diferents estats de la uilla dels Prés-Bas, a Loupian (Hérault, França), permeten estudiar l'evolució dels equips de calefacció dels apartaments residencials, des del Haut-Empire fins a principis del segle V. Cadascun d'aquests ajustos, que presenten solucions tècniques diferents, és revelador tant de l'elecció dels propietaris successius com dels costums que han influït al llarg del temps en les elits locals. Pel segle IV, es disposa de les restes dels últims focs als praefurnia i als conductes de calefacció de la residència d'aquesta època. L'estudi del carbó de llenya permet precisar com s'utilitzava el combustible, quines espècies es triaven en funció de les possibilitats ofertes pels boscos presents en l'entorn de la uilla. Es pot qüestionar, a partir d'un dossier com aquest, la recerca del confort a la pars urbana, afavorint estades més llargues pel mestre del domini, i considerar que la calefacció és, al mateix nivell que els banys, un testimoni significatiu del nivell de luxe dels apartaments.

This study examines the impact of digital technologies on organizational culture in innovative telecommunications SMEs. A
survey across three companies was conducted, analyzing key performance indicators through ANOVA, multiple regression, and
SEM. Results reveal significant positive correlations between technology adoption and productivity, work quality, decisionmaking speed, and employee satisfaction. The strongest effects were observed in productivity and employee satisfaction. While
technology enhances performance, it necessitates substantial cultural shifts for full potential realization. This research contributes
to understanding digital transformation in SMEs, emphasizing the importance of aligning technological advancements with
organizational culture. It provides insights for managers on strategic technology integration, balancing efficiency gains with
cultural adaptations. The study's limitations include its cross-sectional nature, suggesting future longitudinal research to
capture long-term dynamics of technology-driven cultural change in SMEs.
Diversity of Thought Elicits Stronger Reasoning Capabilities in Multi-Agent Debate Frameworks

Published: January 2025

Large language models (LLMs) excel in natural language generation but often confidently produce incorrect responses,
especially in tasks like mathematical reasoning. Chain-of-thought prompting, self-verification, and multi-agent debate are
among the strategies proposed to improve the reasoning and factual accuracy of LLMs. Building on Du et al.’s multi-agent
debate framework, we find that multi-agent debate helps at any model scale, and that diversity of thought elicits stronger
reasoning in debating LLMs. Across various model sizes, performance on mathematical reasoning tasks benefits most when
diverse trained models are used. Remarkably, after 4 rounds of debate, a diverse set of medium-capacity models (Gemini-Pro,
Mixtral 7B×8, and PaLM 2-M) outperforms GPT-4 on the GSM-8K benchmark, scoring 91% accuracy. By comparison, when
3 instances of Gemini-Pro are used, performance only reaches 82%. Finally, this diverse set of medium-capacity models sets
a new state-of-the-art performance on the ASDiv benchmark (94%). These results underscore the idea that the future of AI
is agentic, with diverse cooperating agents yielding emergent capabilities beyond even the most powerful individual models.
Gender Responsive Urban Public Places in Dhaka City: A Planning Perspective
Authors: Rashied Masudur
Published: January 2025

Women are now getting involved in workforce because of their economic freedom and social progress. They now frequently move outside their home and are exposed to the male dominated urban sphere. Historically, cities are only made for men, just like Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh. The aim of this study is to find out the gender responsiveness of public places in Dhaka city. To identify the gender responsiveness of urban public places, five major variables were selected namely- design, isolation, lighting, safety, and management. Based on these five variables, this study tried to identify the gender responsiveness of Gulshan and Khilkhet - the two significant representative areas of Dhaka city. In the two study areas, a total of 230 samples were collected by using convenient sampling technique. It was found that planned areas have wide and visible roads, well-lit streets and minimal chances for having entrapment sites, or rather unplanned areas. Moreover, planned areas in many ways facilitate women for their regular movement and help to make cities more responsive and secured. The findings of this study helps understand the importance of gender sensitization and the prospects of urban planning for gender responsiveness as well.

Revisiting Density Concepts for City Planning and Its Implications for Dhaka City
Authors: Khan Adil Mohammed , Hossain S M Nawshad , Reza Farhadur
Published: January 2025

Density of urban areas plays a crucial role in planning and managing the urban development both at the city and neighborhood levels, which subsequently affects the livability. Density describes the number of people in a given area and is usually expressed as the number of people per acre or dwelling units per acre. This paper explores various concepts of density and its application in urban planning across various cities in the world and recommends for density implications in city planning for Dhaka city as well. There are huge variations in density in various cities around the world and therefore both the form and style of urban development varies drastically across the globe. Density zoning has been incorporated in the Detailed Area Plan (DAP), 2016-2035 for Dhaka city aiming to reduce pressure of population as well as ensure balanced development to make the city livable and sustainable. In addition to density considerations, carrying capacity of an urban area is an important indicator for measuring livability and sustainability of development of an area. This paper reveals that most of the wards of Dhaka city have exceeded its carrying capacity to a great extent impacting livability of the city and suggesting for density planning for the city to increase the livability and functionality of the city. This study recommends for mid-rise residential developments for Dhaka city, which is desirable for residential living that creates better communities, neighborhoods and societies.

Revisiting Planning Standards for Open Spaces in Urban Areas from Global and National Perspectives
Authors: Khan Adil Mohammed
Published: January 2025

Open space are regarded as an integrated part of urban areas for providing recreational benefits as well as maintaining ecological balance. However ‘how much open space should be designed for urban areas’ – have been a topic of discussion among planners and policy makers across the world over the years. Different countries have adopted various standards for designing their urban areas considering their own contexts. However, proper understanding of open space standards followed in various cities and countries around the world is quite important for development of planning standards for sustainable cities and settlement. This paper primarily focuses on open space standards followed in various cities and countries in the world as well as open space standards adopted in various plans and projects in Bangladesh. The research is based on secondary information supported by a review of literature for a better understanding of the planning standards for open space across global cities. Planning standards and provisions regarding open space facilities practiced for urban planning for various cities in Bangladesh in respective master plans, structure plans or any other relevant plans have been explored. The paper reveals that there are no universal standards for open space provisions in the urban areas. An appropriate standard for open space based on the contextual situation of an urban area may, however, guide development of required recreational facilities. It is imperative that such planning standards are followed through proper development and implementation of physical plans of cities.
