An Evaluation of The Kosovo Crisis and NATO Intervention Using The Basic Principles of Realism (Neo-Classical Realism)
Authors: Shtavica Muharem
Published: September 2024

The collapse of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY) began in Slovenia and Croatia, and this disaster was discharged into Bosnia and Herzegovina and ended up in the last bastion of Kosovo. One of the longest and most critical wars in the former Yugoslavia was the inter-ethnic conflict between Kosovo Albanians and Serbs. In particular, the most prominent humanitarian crisis that this paper will deal with concerns the period of 1998- 1999. The Armed Forces of the government of Serbia might be classified in the ranks of “defensive realism”. The Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) was struggling to protect the Albanian civilian population from the Milosevic regime, while Serbia was committed to preserving and attaining national security. In addition, there the principle of security dilemma because the KLA was declared a terrorist organization by state organs at that time. On the other hand, NATO’s intervention in Kosovo, even though it was missioned to protect human values, additionally aimed at its geopolitical and hegemonic strategies in the world of the anarchic international political system. Yet, in the theory of international relations, this can be classified as a form of offensive realism. This article consists of two main parts: The first part aims to research the position of classical realism regarding the conflict in Kosovo using the main principles as they are; survival, self-help, and security dilemma, and the position of neoclassical realism, which focuses more on state agents and domestic policy and the reflection of these state variables toward the impact on the construction of foreign policies. The second part of this study focuses on criticisms of the realist school’s criticism of NATO’s intervention in Kosovo. The main purpose of this article is to investigate the position of realism claiming that; the exclusive monopoly in the use of power belongs to states. In addition, this study aims to illuminate the criticisms that realism uses against foreign interference in domestic affairs. Yet, states are major actors in the anarchic global system that possesses a sole monopoly over their people and sovereignty. Any domestic disturbance and intervention from abroad is strongly condemned and violates the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other sovereign states.

Reconstruction of the social cash transfers system in Poland and household wellbeing: 2015–2018 evidence
Authors: Szulc Adam
Published: September 2024

This study examines the impact of changes in the social benefits system on the wellbeing, poverty, and economic activity in Poland. The core element of those changes was a programme of large cash transfers, referred to as Family 500+, introduced in 2016. It was intended to support families with children, especially the least affluent ones, and to foster fertility. The impact of the transfers has been examined through the observation of changes in the monetary and multidimensional wellbeing of households. The study also analysed the changes in recipients’ economic activity using estimates of regression models and treatment effects. The Family 500+ programme proved to be successful as an anti-poverty tool and also resulted in the increase in the average wellbeing for the whole population. However, its side-effects included the fall in the economic activity of some recipients, especially in 2016 and 2017. The above trends partly reversed in 2018. As some income data in the lower parts of the distribution seemed to be flawed, income imputations, based on regression on income correlates, were applied in the study.

Authors: Poppy Filmonov  , Ayesh Mahmood
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Metastatic bone disease (MBD) is a common complication of advanced cancer, causing significant morbidity and negatively impacting patients' quality of life. Targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) has emerged as a promising treatment modality for MBD, offering targeted delivery of therapeutic radiation to bone metastases while minimizing damage to healthy tissues.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at leading oncology centers in Moscow, Russia, between 2018 and 2023. Patients with MBD who received TRT with either Strontium-89 or Samarium-153 were included. Data on patient demographics, primary tumor type, number of bone metastases, pre-treatment pain scores, performance status, and survival outcomes were collected.
Results: A total of 150 patients were included in the study (mean age 62 years, 55% female). The most common primary tumor types were prostate (35%), breast (25%), and lung (15%). The median number of bone metastases was 5 (range 1-20). Pre-treatment pain scores were high (median 7 on a 0-10 scale). A significant reduction in pain scores was observed post-TRT (median 3, p<0.001). Overall survival at 1 year was 75%, with a median survival of 18 months. Favorable prognostic factors included a lower number of bone metastases, good performance status, and absence of visceral metastases.
Conclusion: TRT is a safe and effective treatment option for patients with MBD in Moscow, Russia, offering significant pain palliation and improved quality of life.

Published: September 2024

In this article, an experimental endeavour has been reported to enhance the performance of single slope solar still by placing jute-covered hemispherical plastic cups in the water. The logic behind the augmentation is that the jute causes capillary action, due to which a thin film of water forms on the surface of the jute. The plastic cups will act as heat insulation, which will try to block the heat from going to the basin water, hence resulting in heat localization and quick evaporation of thin water film. It has been observed that this adaptation has increased overall distillate output of the single slope solar still by 36.2%. The modified still performs best till 14:00 h due to high solar insolation. In the afternoon hours, the reduction of solar radiation adversely impacts its performance in comparison to the conventional single slope solar still. The overall cost of the distillate due to the augmentation of the jute-covered hemispherical plastic cups has been reduced by 24.34% in comparison to the conventional solar still.
Inventory Classification with AHP and ABC Analyses: A Case Study for Dental Products Production
Authors: Saracoglu Ilkay , Mifdal Soufiane
Published: September 2024

This study explores the applicability of the Hierarchical Decision-Making Method (AHP) and Activity-Based Costing (ABC) analyses in the inventory management of dental products. The ABC analysis categorizes products into A, B, and C categories based on financial values. Category A products represent 80% of the total inventory value, while categories B and C represent 15% and 5%, respectively. These products are grouped according to their importance for stock tracking and control. The AHP analysis, on the other hand, ranks products based on criteria such as demand, price, delivery time, depreciation, and importance. The results from AHP showed that some products matched the ABC categories while others fell into different categories. These findings highlight that the combined use of AHP and ABC analyses allows for a more comprehensive and strategic approach to inventory management.
The Role of Leadership in Mitigating Toxic Workplace Culture: A Critical Examination of Effective Interventions
Authors: Arifin Yusuf
Published: September 2024

Toxic workplace culture, characterized by negative behaviors such as poor communication, lack of trust, and unethical conduct, poses significant challenges to organizational effectiveness and employee well-being. Leadership plays a pivotal role in either perpetuating or mitigating these toxic environments. This article critically examines the role of leadership in addressing toxic workplace culture, focusing on effective interventions that leaders can implement to transform negative work environments into positive and productive spaces. The study highlights how different leadership styles, particularly transformational and ethical leadership, are instrumental in fostering a culture of accountability, open communication, and ethical behavior. It also explores the importance of leadership interventions such as establishing clear organizational values, implementing conflict resolution mechanisms, and promoting continuous learning and development. However, the study also acknowledges the challenges leaders face, including resistance to change, deeply entrenched toxic behaviors, and external pressures that may undermine efforts to create a positive work environment. The findings suggest that while leadership is crucial in mitigating toxicity, success depends on sustained commitment, adaptability, and the ability to navigate complex organizational dynamics. By prioritizing ethical leadership and fostering a culture of inclusion and respect, organizations can effectively combat toxic workplace culture and promote long-term organizational health and success. This research contributes to the broader understanding of the critical role of leadership in shaping workplace culture and provides practical insights for leaders seeking to address and prevent toxicity in their organizations.

Authors: Juhara Sutresna
Published: September 2024

The optimization of supply chain management (SCM) is crucial for enhancing efficiency and reducing costs in manufacturing industries. This study employs a qualitative research approach to explore various strategies for SCM optimization. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with SCM experts, focus groups with key stakeholders, and an extensive review of secondary sources. The analysis reveals that the integration of information technology (IT), including ERP systems, supply chain management software, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT), significantly enhances supply chain visibility and coordination, leading to improved decision-making and reduced lead times. Additionally, lean manufacturing and Just-In-Time (JIT) practices are found to be effective in minimizing waste, optimizing inventory levels, and aligning production schedules with market demand, thereby reducing costs and increasing operational efficiency. Strategic supplier partnerships and collaborations play a vital role in achieving synchronization across the supply chain, improving quality, and managing risks. The adoption of sustainability and green supply chain management (GSCM) practices is also highlighted as a key driver for cost reduction and efficiency improvement. These practices not only enhance environmental performance but also drive innovation and provide a competitive advantage. However, the study acknowledges the challenges associated with implementing these strategies, including high initial costs, the need for skilled personnel, and the complexity of managing multiple supplier relationships. Despite these challenges, the findings suggest that a holistic approach to SCM optimization, integrating traditional methods with cutting-edge technologies, can significantly enhance supply chain performance. This research provides valuable insights for both academia and industry practitioners, offering practical guidelines for implementing effective SCM strategies. By adopting these strategies, manufacturers can build resilient and adaptive supply chains capable of meeting the evolving demands of the global market, ensuring sustainable growth and competitiveness.

Hacia una teoría integral de las Relaciones Internacionales: La nueva escuela francesa del liberalismo sociológico (Inglés)
Authors: Meszaros Thomas , Dabila Antony
Published: September 2024

El trabajo de Aron inicialmente ganó más reconocimiento en los Estados Unidos, donde figuras influyentes como Morgenthau, Kissinger y Young se involucraron con sus ideas, aunque su trabajo no se basa en una separación estricta de las Relaciones Internacionales de los otros campos de las Ciencias Humanas. El fundamento interdisciplinario de Aron, que abarca la filosofía, la ciencia política, la sociología y la historia, sentó las bases para su enfoque único, permitiendo comprender los conflictos entre políticas entrelazados con otros procesos sociales (dentro y fuera de la entidad política). Su obra renombrada Paz y Guerra trascendió las acciones diplomáticas, adentrándose en las relaciones entre Estados, los conflictos de valores, las percepciones mutuas y la esencia del poder político, encapsulando una ontología de las relaciones internacionales. Lamentablemente, la investigación de Aron, desarrollada en el Centro de Sociología Europea, a menudo es simplificada o malinterpretada. El enfoque sociológico de Aron también se apartó de las escuelas francesas e inglesas de Relaciones Internacionales. Inspirado por Weber, Marx y pensadores franceses, enfatizó el contexto cultural, la acción individual y el papel del conflicto en la historia. A pesar de la literatura posterior, la obra de Aron y su enfoque de las RI han sido lamentablemente marginados. Este estudio tiene como objetivo revivir las contribuciones de Aron, investigando su aplicabilidad en las relaciones internacionales contemporáneas. La tradición multidisciplinaria de Aron ofrece una alternativa a las teorías convencionales de las RI, proporcionando una perspectiva más matizada de la política global en evolución. Al situar la visión de Aron en un contexto más amplio de las ciencias sociales, este artículo aboga por un enfoque interdisciplinario integral de las RI, revitalizando su liberalismo sociológico para los desafíos modernos.

Es una verdad de Perogrullo decir que el orden internacional del siglo XXI tuvo sus orígenes en la desaparición del sistema bipolar vigente desde el fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y hasta 1992 con la disolución de la Unión Soviética. Entre las características más destacadas de la estructura internacional cuya construcción, por cierto, aún está en marcha se encuentra el surgimiento de actores o sujetos en el escenario mundial diferentes a los que hemos estado acostumbrados a ver como los principales protagonistas de la construcción de los hechos o fenómenos internacionales. Tales actores son diferentes en el sentido en que sus actos empezaron a tener efectos más allá de su ámbito original, limitado tanto en el tiempo como en el espacio. Ahora es mucho más notoria su presencia e interacción internacional y mantienen vínculos con otros sujetos que pueden ser similares o diferentes, pero siempre con un impacto sino en las relaciones internacionales en su conjunto, al menos sí en las políticas exteriores estatales, es decir producen fenómenos que antes no se veían o no se les prestaba demasiada atención, razón más que suficiente para tenerlos en cuenta cuando repasemos el catálogo de actores de un sistema internacional otrora solamente interestatal.

Investigating momentum transfer with gall-forming wasps
Authors: Chu Jason , Deamer David
Published: September 2024

Neuroterus saltatorius is a gall-forming wasp species endemic to the U.S. During summer, large numbers of galls detach from oak leaves and fall to the ground. They jump several times per minute in random directions earning them the moniker "jumping galls" or “flea seeds”. The mechanism behind this unique behavior has not been established, but one hypothesis suggests that encapsulated gall larva forces fluid through its U-shaped body at high speeds. The momentum of this fluid is transferred in such a way that a hopping motion occurs. We believe that understanding momentum transfer is important for applications focused on momentum transfer. Inspired by the jumping gall and to understand momentum transfer, we constructed a model using a mousetrap with attachable weights to demonstrate that a moving mass can cause jumping through momentum transfer. We predicted that adding weight to the arm would increase the jump height because the arm swings at the same speed with increased momentum from the larger mass. Increasing weights to the arm allowed us to identify the optimal mass for the highest jump. This modeling approach provided insights into the physical process underlying the galls' jumping behavior and extended beyond that. An application of the theory is to use momentum transfer when exploring microgravity environments like comets and asteroids because instrument packages cannot be moved by wheeled vehicles on extremely rough surfaces. An alternative is to construct robots capable of moving by momentum transfer.

Published: September 2024

Municipality of Pilar is the last town in the eastern province of Capiz. Pilar Bay, spanning 20 square kilometers, is a boon. At low tide, a variety of edible bivalves' shells may be found around the bay's shoreline, offering a source of money for the residents. The loss in bivalve variety, abundance, and ecological functions due to overharvesting signifies a loss of environmental integrity at the local and watershed levels. The purpose of this study was to catalog and assess the variety of edible bivalves found in the Municipality's intertidal zone. Descriptive survey methods were used to gather data from December 2015 to January 2016 in eight barangays in Pilar: Dulangan, Binaobawan, Rosario, Poblacion, Natividad, San Ramon, Casanayan, Balogo, and Dayhagan. Three 1 × 1 m2 quadrats were placed down in each of the nine stations that were chosen using the belt transect approach and a quadrat. The following items were utilized to perform the study: a tiny garden trowel, a laptop computer, a nylon rope, pegs, a meter stick, and a camera. The findings indicate that seven (7) edible bivalves belonging to the families Arcidae, Veneridae, Psammobidae, Mactridea, and Solenidae were known locally as paros, litob, punaw, bug-atan, higda-higda, tikhan, and kagaykay. It also demonstrates which species were most prevalent and prolific in Pilar's intertifal zone: litob, punaw, kagaykay, higda-higda, and bug-atan.

Published: September 2024

This study was conducted with the objectives: 1). To identify factors that influence farmers' decisions in using certified seeds in Pemayung District. 2). To analyze factors that influence farmers' decisions in using certified seeds in Pemayung District. The study was carried out in the Batang Hari Regency's Pemayung District. Because the majority of rice growers here utilize certified seeds, this location was selected. After the discussion, a constant value (a) of -3.085 was determined. This indicates that the value of the seed usage decision is -3.085 if all the factors under study (age, income, experience, education level, and land area) have values equal to zero (0). The value of the age coefficient (b1) is 0.142. This indicates that, provided the values of the other variables remain constant, an increase of one unit in the age variable will result in a 0.142 unit drop in the seed usage decision's value. The coefficient value (b2) for education level is 0.518. The results of Nagelkerke R Square demonstrate the influence of the variables of age (X1), education (X2), farming experience (X3), land area (X4), and income (X5) on this variable. This indicates that a 42% explanation of the dependent variables can be attributed to the independent variables in the model. Other factors not included in this study, such as the activity of farmer groups, risk preferences, land ownership status, and others, account for the remaining 58% (100% - 58%). The Education variable, with a Wald value of 4.613 and a Significance value of 0.032, and the Business Experience variable are the variables with a Wald value larger than 3.841 and a significance level lower than 0.05. While other factors, such as income, land area, and age, have significance values larger than 0.050 and Wald values smaller than 3.841, they have no effect on farmers' decisions to use certified seeds.

Authors: Kapilan Natesan , Bıyıkoğlu Atilla , Reddy Rana Pratap`
Published: September 2024

The conventional fuel used to produce electrical energy and the burning of the conventional fuel causes global warming. Also, there is a depletion of these fuel and hence there is a need of alternative fuels. The biodiesel is a renewable fuel and it is a sustainable fuel. The biodiesel can be derived from waste cooking oil (WCO) as it increases the commercial value of the WCO. The biodiesel has lower oxidation stability and hence onion oil which has good anti oxidation value was added with WCO biodiesel. The engine tests were carried with WCO biodiesel added with onion oil shows that the addition of onion oil improves the thermal efficiency and improvement in cylinder pressure and heat release rate. We conclude that the onion oil can be used as additive to the WCO biodiesel.

In this paper, a forging tool of a new design is proposed, which allows to implement shear and alternating strain in the entire volume of the deformed billet with a smaller change in its initial dimensions. To confirm the effectiveness of the proposed new forging tool in obtaining billets and forgings of the plates and slabs type of the required quality, a laboratory experiment was conducted. During the laboratory experiment, the forging of billets made of the steel 45 was carried out in such forging tools as step-wedge dies of two  different variants (proposed and previously known) and in step dies. Analysis of the shape change of billets and the evolution of the microstructure of steel after two deformation cycles showed that the use of the step-wedge dies with a wedge protrusion on the upper die and a wedge cavity on the lower die is more promising for forging billets and forgings of the plates and slabs type with a given level of mechanical properties, since it allows to obtain a fine-grained structure with a smaller change in the initial dimensions of the billet.

Various methods are applied to improve the quality of cement and concrete. Many efforts are made to enhance their quality by introducing additional compounds that can stabilize the chemical bonds between their components. Significant effects on hydrogen bonds under the influence of magnetic and electromagnetic waves have been observed. Results have been published with permanent magnetic fields for water treatment for concrete preparation with magnetic inductions B = 4000, 6000, 6000, 9000, and 9250 Gauss. Electromagnetic (e. m.) treated water has emerged as a promising approach for improving the properties of construction materials.Our investigation concerns the properties of concrete. Concrete is a composite building material mainly consisting of cement, aggregates, water, and various chemical additives. Water was activated with electromagnetic fields from solenoid, ranging from 20 to 40 kHz. The study employs Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy analysis and the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) method. The experiments were performed on samples and control samples. The control samples were obtained with water before activation with EM fields. Treating the water in concrete preparation with electromagnetic fields leads to greater mixture homogeneity. SEM images substantiate this outcome. The FT-IR peaks are linked to heightened chemical reactivity from improved water parameters attributed to the treatment with the EVOdrop device.
Influence of Stress Factors on the Development of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in Children: Risk Factors

In the current conditions of the ongoing war in Ukraine, which began in February 2022, Ukrainian children might develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to stress factors caused by the conflict between Ukraine and Russian-backed separatist forces, along with the Russian military. In particular, the relationship between reduced emotional intelligence and the development of post-traumatic stress disorder in children has become more relevant. This study aimed to assess structural and cognitive changes in children with PTSD and their relationship to depression, anxiety, and event segmentation.
The study methods included clinical interviews (CAPS-CA-5 scale), neuropsychological tests (short-term and long-term memory tests), self-assessment questionnaires (standardised CDI, RCADS and SCAS-Child scales), and a single-shotMRI. The results showed that patients with post-traumatic stress disorder had reduced hippocampal volume (p=0.018) and the volume of cingulate cortex isthmus (p=0.026). Diffusion in the cerebellum-hippocampal tract was reduced (p=0.014). The level of depression was positively correlated with hippocampal volume (r=0.32, p=0.021) and anxiety with the volume of cingulate cortex isthmus (r=0.26, p=0.048).
These results emphasise the importance of the relationship between structural changes and levels of depression and anxiety in patients with PTSD.
Prospects for further research are based on the study of the long-term effects of psychotherapeutic interventions aimed at improving cognitive function in patients with posttraumatic stress disorder.
Taking a Nosedive: Can Boeing’s Image be Saved? Application of Image Repair Theory
Authors: Ndone James
Published: September 2024

Boeing’s leadership faced significant criticism for its mishandling of the two 737 Max plane crashes that occurred within a six-month span. Since then, Boeing has been grappling with ongoing quality control issues with its 737 Max series, including a recent door plug failure on a 737 Max 9 mid-flight, and production flaws in the 787 Dreamliner, such as gaps between fuselage sections.This case study applies image repair theory (IRT) to explore Boeing’s crisis communication strategies in response to the 737 Max plane crashes. This study further investigates the application of the concepts of stealing thunder, framing hypothesis, and ethical apology, and their application in Boeing's crisis management. The findings reveal that Boeing's leadership employed both denial and mortification strategies; however, the timing and execution of these communications were flawed, leading to long-term reputational damage.Boeing’s failure to employ stealing thunder, effective framing, and delivering sincere apologies has hindered its ability to control the crisis narrative. Theoretical implications for IRT are discussed.

Emotional Intelligence (EI), also known as emotional intelligence, is a person's ability to recognize their own emotions, be able to control their emotions according to situations and conditions, be able to use their emotions to increase their own motivation, be able to recognize other people's emotions, and be able to interact positively with other people. . Emotional intelligence (EI) is a self-concept that a teacher, the aim is to increase motivation to learn without having to depend on the surrounding environment. This community service activity is aimed at class VI teachers at MIN 5 Langkat, which aims to improve the performance of teachers when teaching in the classroom by implementing an emotional intelligence system when teaching. With a teacher who can understand the characteristics of the students and understand the emotions of the students, it will be easy for the teacher to convey lesson material without having to force his will on the students. This will also influence students' learning motivation, when students feel that the teacher understands their feelings and needs, students will happily accept the learning provided by the teacher. It was proven that after participating in this socialization, several class VI teachers had implemented EI in the learning process and this had a big influence on increasing the learning motivation of class VI elementary school students.
