Published: July 2024

The current research studies the effectiveness of steel fibrous layers on the performance of self-compacting lightweight reinforced concrete two-way slabs with (length/width) ratio ≈ 1.618 (golden ratio). In this work, steel fibers (SFs) have been added to four slab specimens with volume fractions of 0.4 % and 0.8 %, in one bottom layer and two top and bottom layers, in addition to a reference slab without SFs, the four slabs were tested under uniform load. The results revealed that when using single or dual fibrous layers, the flexural strength of slabs was considerably enlarged (numerically 41.3 % for single bottom layer and 72.4 % for both top and bottom layers when using 0.4 % SF, and 113.7 % for a single bottom layer and 193 % for both top and bottom layers when using 0.8 % SF) as compared with nonfibrous slabs, and the failure mode had altered from flexure mode to shear one as compared with nonfibrous slabs. The effect of these fibrous layers was enlarged with increasing the content of SF. And for the same amount of SF, the influence of SF is greater when it is distributed in one bottom layer (numerically 113.7 %) than when distributed in two layers (numerically 41.3 %).
Stabilization Tests for Deep Mixing—Round-Robin Tests in Eight Finnish Laboratories

Published: July 2024

Stabilization tests in laboratory play an essential part of quality control and assurance of the deep mixing method. By preparing and testing laboratory soil specimens stabilized with different binder types and dosages (binder recipes), estimation of in-situ properties of treated soil can be made. The stabilization tests typically consist of uniaxial compressive tests of cylindrical specimens. However, there have not been any national guidelines in Finland on laboratory methods for stabilization tests until year 2018, when an updated Finnish stabilization design guideline was published by the Finnish Transport Agency. By means of this guideline, stabilization test results from different laboratories should be comparable. To study the comparability of the stabilization tests from different laboratories, a round-robin study (interlaboratory test) between laboratories was completed. The performed stabilization test series have been examined as the internal (within laboratory) coefficient of variation of the individual test series and as the external variation of the parallel stabilization test series performed in different laboratories. The internal variation of the stabilization test series was modest in most of the laboratories, but regardless of the national stabilization test guideline, a large variation was found in the results of the parallel test series of the laboratories. Based on the findings, additions to the Finnish national guidelines are needed and these additions are planned for implementation during 2023–2024.

INCORPORATING RELIGIOUS MODERATION VALUES INTO ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING: A PORTRAIT OF AN INDONESIAN VOCATIONAL SCHOOL
Authors: Wahyuningsih Sri , Munawaroh Anisa
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACTThe present study explores the process of instilling religious moderation values in English teaching at an Indonesian vocational school. Furthermore, challenges in instilling religious moderation values and solutions are discussed. The qualitative case study method was used in this study. Data were gathered through observation, semi-structured interviews with two English language teachers and two students at an Indonesian vocational school, and documentation. The findings reveal that internalization of religious moderation values can be incorporated through verbal stimulation (reminders and advice), English material, teaching methods, teachers' behavior, and assignments. These values include tolerance, discussion, justice, dynamics, creativity, and innovation. Meanwhile, challenges include students' personality differences and a lack of English textbooks containing religious moderation values. Several strategies were used to tackle the obstacles, including motivating students to participate actively in the teaching and learning process and exploring English material dealing with religious moderation. The implication of the study was discussed. ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi proses penanaman nilai-nilai moderasi beragama dalam pengajaran bahasa Inggris di sekolah menengah kejuruan (SMK) di Indonesia.

Supervisors’ Written Feedback and Students’ Responses Towards Feedback on Undergraduate Research Proposals
Authors: Aridah Aridah , Hambali Muhamad , Ping Maria Teodora , Setiawan Iwan , Limbong Effendi
Published: July 2024

This study explores the types of feedback given by supervisors on undergraduate thesis proposals and investigates how the students respond to the feedback. The data were collected from research proposal pages containing feedback and interview transcripts through a mixed method with a case study design. Four supervised students of the English Department at one university in Samarinda, whose graduation was delayed due to incompletion of their theses, participated in this study. The quantitative data covered the total feedback occurrences and were analyzed using frequency and percentage. The qualitative data were taken from the interview transcript and were analyzed using a coding scheme based on feedback typologies by Ellis (2009), Cárcamo (2020), and Pearson (2022). The findings revealed that from a number of feedback types expected in this study, only 8 were identified, with implicit feedback being the most common. The students perceived supervisors' feedback as helpful and useful for revising their proposals, but they preferred explicit feedback because of its direct error corrections. Some supervisors' comments were unclear, making it difficult for the students to understand and do revisions. Yet, they hesitated to communicate with their supervisors because they were afraid and concerned about politeness. The study highlights the importance of aligning supervisor feedback practices with students' expectations and emphasizes the need for effective communication and good relationships to prevent delays in thesis completion.
Teachers’ Voice on the Practical Learning Strategies for Young Learners with Poetry
Authors: Mahayanti Ni Wayan Surya , Suwastini Ni Komang Arie , Tuilan Jeane , Dials Jeanette
Published: July 2024

A recent study suggests that poetry might offer unique insights into improving English language development. Despite these benefits, many language teachers avoid using poetry since teaching English through poetry in non-English-speaking countries is difficult. Poetry's ability to support language development has been overlooked due to teachers’ challenges. This shows a serious lack of understanding of teachers’ pedagogical skills in using literature to educate. Large-scale quantitative studies have examined teachers' experiences and challenges. Nevertheless, this study focuses on what they consider crucial pedagogical factors in employing poetry in English classes. This qualitative survey includes 15 English teachers. A teacher questionnaire was given to discuss their needs in constructing poetry-based English language learning practices, and interviews were performed to examine kindergarten and elementary school English language learning. The findings portrayed that poetry improves pupils' listening and speaking skills and vocabulary building. In addition, they thought that songs/lyrics and poetry should be used more in teaching and learning. A thematic analysis showed how teaching strategies, poem selection, and impact are varied.

Published: July 2024

Este artigo buscou discutir a literatura na Educação Infantil com crianças não alfabetizadas. Seu objetivo foi despertar a empatia e a sensibilidade das crianças pequenas para com as crianças imigrantes e refugiadas que estão frequentando o ambiente escolar por meio dos enredos literários. A pergunta que norteou a elaboração deste artigo foi: como conscientizar, sensibilizar, motivar, desenvolver a empatia e a solidariedade para com o outro, em crianças pequenas, para acolher um colega culturalmente diferente, como o refugiado ou o imigrante, por meio de livros de literatura? Para atender aos objetivos propostos e buscar soluções ao questionamento, foram utilizados diversos livros com imagens, que contam uma história, tendo o professor como narrador e mediador. A fim de apresentar uma seleção representativa, foram selecionadas diversas obras, considerando a interação entre a linguagem verbal e a visual. É importante observar que ilustrações e imagens nos livros infantis para crianças pequenas substituem ou complementam os textos e dão vida aos personagens e suas histórias. Para auxiliar nas questões que envolvem as crianças com culturas diferentes nas escolas, o trabalho também se preocupou com o uso da literatura na solução dos problemas que vão surgindo e em verificar se os objetivos propostos foram atingidos.
La séduction de la vertu dans le roman libertin français : Crébillon, Laclos, Duclos
Authors: Tureková Andrea
Published: July 2024

The seduction of virtue in the French libertine novel: Crébillon, Laclos, Duclos. The French libertine novel depicts aristocratic society, mainly engaged in the “game” of seduction. In this game, the glory of the libertine is measured not only by the number of conquests; the greatest challenge is to triumph over virtue, to seduce a woman committed to honour and duty. A “fight” ensues between the cynical seducer and the virtuous woman: but through his manipulations, the libertine sometimes catches himself in his own trap. This paper examines three masterpieces of the 18th century French novel of libertinage, highlighting the parallels and counterpoints between the characters of Lord Chester (Les Heureux Orphelins by Crébillon) and the Vicomte de Valmont (Les Liaisons dangereuses by Laclos) on the one hand, and the Comte de *** (Les Confessions du comte de *** by Duclos) on the other. Between cynicism, denial and conversion, the novelists’ pessimism about the possibility of attaining the truth of feelings emerges.
Le narrateur et les valeurs dans le discours romanesque de Michel Houellebecq
Authors: Uherková Marianna
Published: July 2024

The article examines the relations between selected functions of narrators established by Gérard Genette within the category of the narrative voice and the axiologic system conveyed by the texts in the selected novels by Michel Houellebecq (*1956) Extension du domaine de la lutte (1994, translated as Whatever by Paul Hammond in 1998), Les Particules élémentaires (1998, translated as Atomised by Frank Wynne in 2000), Plateforme (2001, translated as Platform by Frank Wynne in 2002), La possibilité d’une île (2005, translated as The Possibility of an Island by Gavin Bowd in 2005), La carte et le territoire (2010, translated as The Map and the Territory by Gavin Bowd in 2011), Soumission (2015, translated as Submission by Lorin Stein in 2016), Sérotonine (2019, translated as Serotonin by Shaun Whiteside in 2019) and Anéantir (2022, English translation titled Annihilation to be released 19/09/2024). Drawing on the narrative theories of Gérard Genette, Vincent Jouve, Susan Suleiman, Algirdas-Julien Greimas and Herbert Paul Grice, the study explores how Houellebecqian prose maintains a critical dialogue with its narrators with the help of authorial distance, and an empathizing author emerges in his work. It also examines how Houellebecq’s position can be compared to those of Zygmunt Bauman, Václav Bělohradský and Václav Havel. Finally, it examines how the author transcribes a specifically Houellebecquian concept of antihero as a means of adequately reflecting the contemporary human condition, of rediscovering the sense of life of the contemporary man and his bearings in the world.
Flou terminologique en grammaire : le cas du français et du slovaque
Authors: Vojtek Daniel
Published: July 2024

Uniformity and clarity of grammatical terminology are utopian, both in French and in comparative contexts of French and Slovak. Grammatical nomenclature suffers from significant variability and instability, despite the aim of grammarians and terminologists to reconcile the quality of grammatical discourse with didactic effectiveness. The reasons for this are that grammarians’ terminological choices are partly guided by the linguistic theory which governs the development of grammar and, moreover, grammatical terminology is subject to evolution, trends and sometimes even conflicting views. The present study illustrates the state of affairs using selected examples of French and Slovak terms, with the aim of providing a kind of long sought solution. It turns out that the interlingual equivalence of French and Slovak grammatical terms is influenced by two factors. The first one is the terminological variability in French and the second one is the position of the term in the hierarchy of grammatical nomenclature (in the two compared languages).

Authors: Priporov Igor E.
Published: July 2024

Introduction. For small farms, an urgent task is to adapt standard compound feed machinery for producing the specified local feeds. It is necessary to use sunflower seeds for producing oil and fat sunflower meal for cattle. There are no universal presses suitable for producing sunflower meal. The process of crushing sunflower meal also causes difficulties. Therefore, we need a set of machines for this operation.
Aim of the Study. The article is aimed at developing a mathematical model for producing sunflower meal on the field plot and feed concentrates with the use of the compound feed machinery, and for determining the optimal field plot and machinery with minimal technical and economic indicators.
Materials and Methods. The developed algorithm in view of the mathematical model is implemented in the Microsoft Excel 2016 program. The results and calculations for the choice of rational option of machinery for producing sunflower meal on a field plot are presented in the text of the article. Technical and economic indicators and costs of the workshop and its operation are calculated according to the recommendations of Doctor of technical sciences, Professor V. V. Konovalov, but taking into account the expressions obtained for technological calculation.
Results. A mathematical model for producing concentrated compound feed is developed. The calculations carried out for the choice of a rational option of the field plot and the compound feed machinery showed the schemes of machines that meet the objectives of the study.
Discussion and Conclusion. For the conditions under consideration, an effective option among the presented field plots, from an economic point of view, is the field plot and compound feed machinery presented at the scheme 1 (table 1). Technological calculation of the sunflower meal production plot and the compound feed machinery was carried out based on the developed algorithm in view of the mathematical model for producing concentrated compound feed and the program for its implementation, their technical and economic indicators, and the costs of the workshop and its operation were calculated, and the rational option of the field plot and the compound feed machinery were selected. The economic effect of the selected field plot and compound feed machine was achieved by reducing annual operating and other direct costs, reduced costs.
Pannonian women's headwear-related accessories
Authors: Sáró Csilla
Published: July 2024

The main goal of this paper is to study a specific element of women's depicted costumes. Pictures on stone monuments present local, so-called native women wearing complex attire of cloth, headwear, brooches, jewels, and other dress accessories. Thirteen stone monuments from Hungary depict local women with headwear-related accessories. The main questions are: what kind of accessories are they, and how can we evaluate their presence on depicted attires? I collected analogous depictions from other Provinces and studied archaeological material. Finally, I concluded that these headwear-related accessories connect to new cultural effects and the complex phenomenon of acculturation.

Published: July 2024

The Ecuadorian Chocó is a global conservation hotspot with high levels of biodiversity and endemism but is threatened by extensive deforestation. Here, we report the discovery of an additional locality for the Critically Endangered poison-dart frog Leucostethus bilsa (Amphibia, Dendrobatidae) in a privately protected forest reserve in Esmeraldas, Ecuador. This may represent a distinct IUCN location for the species, thereby downgrading its IUCN threat level to Endangered. This ﬁnding increases the extent of occurrence for L. bilsa from 0.9 to 4.78 km2, and the area of occupancy from 8.0 to 16.0 km2, demonstrating the importance of small forest reserves for the conservation of forest-dependent amphibians. Further surveys are warranted to determine whether the species is present in additional forest fragments in the region, the degree of connectivity, if any, between individuals inhabiting different fragments, and whether the species’ population is increasing, stable, or in decline.

Protocol of observation, examination and antibacterial therapy of newborns with suspected and/or confirmed neonatal infection
Authors: Shestak Evgenii V. , Ksenofontova Olga L. , Kovtun Olga P. , Starkov Vadim Yu.
Published: July 2024

Background. One of the causes of early neonatal death in Russia and the world is infection. In recent years, in our country, the infectious diagnosis in 16–25% of cases was the main one among newborns who died in the first 168 hours of life. According to population studies from different countries, the cumulative incidence of neonatal sepsis is 22 cases per 1,000 live births, and mortality ranges from 11 to 19%. According to the data, timely diagnosis and appointment of etiotropic treatment, in most cases of antibacterial therapy (ABT), are crucial in the outcome of neonatal infection. However, in the Russian Federation, as in most other countries, there are no uniform protocols and Guidelines on this issue. Thus, the only solution to this problem is to create local protocols based on modern evidence base and at the same time corresponding to the microbial flora and logistical capabilities of a particular medical organization. The article presents the local protocol of the Yekaterinburg Clinical Perinatal Center (ECPC) “Protocol of observation, examination and antibacterial therapy of newborns with suspected and/or confirmed neonatal infection”, developed by the staff of the ECPC taking into account international conciliation documents, data from randomized clinical trials and meta-analyses, as well as the specifics of the perinatal center.
Modeling of Non-Stationary Mass Transfer Process in Groundwater
Authors: Biliaiev M. M. , Kozachyna V. V.
Published: July 2024

Purpose. Infiltration of contaminated water and accidental spills of chemically hazardous substances into groundwater lead to the formation of large zones of man-made pollution in aquifers. Therefore, it is important to develop protection systems against groundwater pollution. To analyze the effectiveness of such protection systems at the design stage, it is necessary to have scientifically based information on the dynamics of changes in groundwater contamination zones. Such information can be obtained using the method of mathematical modeling. The study aims to create a numerical model for calculating the non-stationary process of geomigration when using chemical protection of groundwater from pollution. Methodology. To describe the dynamics of groundwater flows, two filtration equations are considered, which allow mathematical modeling of the filtration process both for solving planned problems and for solving problems of specialized filtration. A two-dimensional geomigration equation was used to analyze changes in groundwater quality. This equation takes into account the convective transfer of impurities in the filtration flow, dispersion, and the intensity of impurity infiltration into the groundwater flow. This equation is also used to calculate the movement of the neutralizer in groundwater. The numerical integration of the filtration equation was performed using finite difference methods. An implicit splitting scheme was used to numerically integrate the geomigration equation. Findings. A fast-applicable numerical model for calculating groundwater dynamics has been built. The model is also a platform for solving another important task – the calculation of geomigration processes. A numerical model for calculating the unsteady-state geomigration process is proposed, which makes it possible to assess not only the process of formation of contamination zones in the groundwater flow, but also to determine the effectiveness of the method of neutralizing the impurities in the groundwater flow. Originality. Effective numerical models for rapid assessment of changes in groundwater dynamics and quality under the influence of anthropogenic sources have been developed. These models take into account a set of important physical factors that affect the process of geomigration and the process of neutralizing the impurity in the groundwater flow. Practical value. A computer program has been developed that allows determining the effectiveness of the process of neutralizing an aggressive impurity in groundwater by a computational experiment to protect it from anthropogenic pollution.

Published: July 2024

Resumo Objetivo Avaliar as propriedades psicométricas, contemplando validade, confiabilidade, sensibilidade e especificidade do SPMSQ-BR. Método A análise foi realizada em 93 idosos, avaliados com a versão brasileira do SPMSQ, Mini-Exame do Estado Mental (MEEM), Teste do Desenho do Relógio (TDR) e Teste de Fluência Verbal (TFV). A consistência interna foi estimada pelo coeficiente alfa de Cronbach. Para avaliar a estabilidade intra-avaliador e a reprodutibilidade inter-avaliador, utilizou-se o coeficiente de correlação intraclasse (CCI) com intervalo de confiança de 95%. Para a validade concorrente e convergente, utilizou-se o coeficiente de correlação de Spearman. A acurácia para estabelecer o ponto de corte do SPMSQ-BR para rastreamento da sensibilidade e especificidade realizou-se através da curva ROC. Resultado: O SPMSQ-BR demonstrou excelente consistência interna (α=0,803), alta confiabilidade intra e inter-avaliador (CCI-0,977) e (CCI-0,973) respectivamente. Na validade concorrente apresentou forte correlação linear com o MEEM (-0,799 p<0,001), já com TDR (-0,584 p<0,01) e TFV (-0,569 p<0,01) foram encontradas correlações moderadas. O SPMSQ-BR mostrou-se capaz de discriminar o comprometimento cognitivo com ponto de corte a partir de 3 erros, conforme a escala original. A área sob a curva considerando a escolaridade foi de AUC=0,905 (S=81,3% e E=76,9%) e sem considerar a escolaridade AUC=0,927 (S=87,5% e E=80,8%) apresentando uma boa sensibilidade e especificidade em ambos os casos. Conclusão O estudo demonstrou que a versão brasileira do SPMSQ estabelecida como Breve Escala de Capacidade Cognitiva apresentou-se estável, reprodutível, válida e confiável para avaliar a capacidade cognitiva de idosos, além de ser sensível na identificação de comprometimento cognitivo.
The Poverty Discrimination Puzzle
Authors: Steuwer Bastian , Lippert-Rasmussen Kasper
Published: July 2024

Discrimination laws usually prohibit discrimination based on some traits, like race, caste, and sex, and not on others, like sports team allegiance. Should socioeconomic class be included among the protected traits? We examine an argument for the view that it should which leads to the conclusion that both direct and indirect socioeconomic discrimination should be prohibited by the state. The argument has three premises: (1) direct paradigmatic discrimination should be prohibited by law; (2) if direct paradigmatic discrimination should be prohibited by law, then so should direct socioeconomic discrimination; and (3) where direct discrimination based on a certain trait should be prohibited by law, so should indirect discrimination on the basis of the same trait. Since we assume most readers will accept (1), the paper is largely devoted to the defense of (2) and (3). The outlawing of direct socioeconomic discrimination would involve an adjustment of the political and legal status quo, but we argue that it should nevertheless be implemented. By contrast, a prohibition on indirect socioeconomic discrimination would require a radical change to the way in which our societies are structured, because many of our laws, policies, and practices systematically (re)produce inequality to the disproportionate detriment of the poor. Our main aim, therefore, is not to defend the prohibition of indirect socioeconomic discrimination, but to show that most people’s views about discrimination are in deep tension with their attitude to current law. Resolving this tension would require for most of us to revise our beliefs either about whether indirect socioeconomic discrimination should be prohibited or about (1)–(3). One might reject the view that law should prohibit socioeconomic discrimination and still accept this claim about a deep tension in most people’s views on discrimination.
A Befogadó Nemzeti Támogatás új kihívásai a NATO 2022 Stratégiai Koncepció tükrében
Authors: Gulyás György
Published: July 2024

A Befogadó Nemzeti Támogatás (BNT) a logisztikai támogatás egyik alapvető pillére, amely az általa biztosított infrastruktúrával, anyagokkal és szolgáltatásokkal a North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO vagy szövetség) kollektív védelmi erőfeszítéseihez nélkülözhetetlen. Ezért a szövetséges logisztikai támogatás egyik formájaként elsődlegesen figyelembe veendő a vezető nemzet általi logisztikai támogatás, a szerepkörre szakosodott nemzeti logisztikai támogatás, a többnemzeti integrált logisztikai egység,1 valamint a műveletekhez beszállítók által nyújtott támogatás mellett. Azonban ez a támogatási forma nem csupán egy logisztikai funkció, hanem inkább tekintendő egy adott befogadó nemzet összkormányzati erőfeszítését mozgósító megközelítésnek, amely az adott ország felelősségét is magasabb szintre emeli, de új lehetőségeket is nyit többnemzeti megoldások létrehozására. A BNT képes csökkenteni a küldő nemzetek logisztikai rendszerére háruló nyomást, amely alapvetően a harcolóktól származó igények mennyiségéből és a műveleti terv által meghatározott határidőkből keletkezik. A Krím-félsziget 2014-ben történt orosz annektálása és az ezzel egy időben Kelet-Ukrajnában kialakult polgárháborús helyzet hatására sokkal inkább előtérbe került az esetleges európai műveletekhez befogadó nemzetek által nyújtandó támogatás szerepe. Azonban a 2022 februárjában Ukrajna ellen megindított orosz támadás után létrehozott új NATO Stratégiai Koncepció a NATO új haderőmodelljével együtt immár korábban nem látott kihívások elé állította a jövendőbeli befogadó nemzeteket, különösen, amelyek a szövetség keleti határán találhatók. A szerző ezeket a kihívásokat és az ezekre adott válaszokat igyekszik bemutatni cikkében.

A pioneer of Mechano-therapy, Gustav Zander (1835 – 1920). The legacy of his theories and an interesting example of our days: the “Angel’s Wings” device
Authors: Messa Luca Valerio
Published: July 2024

Dr. Jonas Gustav Vilhelm Zander was a Swedish physician active mostly in the second half of the 1800s. He may be considered a pioneer, as he was a forerunner of mechano-therapy. In fact, he invented mechanical "special machines" to make his patients perform movements, simple or complex. His ideas may have looked bizarre at the time, but as time passed by, the same ideas gained increasing approval in the scientific-technical field. He thought that many diseases of humans could be counteracted or even cured through forced physical exercise, going against the beliefs of the time which tended to promote total rest to heal the body. Indeed, using the knowledge of his time, he made a great step forward to solve many problems and diseases. This study aims to support Dr. Zander's theories by demonstrating an innovative device that is unique for specific muscular anatomical objectives, targeted and calibrated to counteract the symptoms and rehabilitate motor skills of Parkinson's disease.

Киберократия как вектор развития современного государственного управления и предмет осмысления
Authors: Makareiko N. V. , Mamai E. A.
Published: July 2024

Рассматривается такое реально сложившееся, но недостаточно исследованное явление, как киберократия. Развитие информационных технологий оказывает существенное влияние на государственное управление, однако происходящая трансформация носит не только позитивный, но и негативный характер. Традиционно в исследованиях акцент делается на использовании информационных технологий, которые повышают эффективность государственного управления. Наряду с этим, цифровые технологии заключают в себе существенные риски, которые должны быть учтены в ходе реформирования государственного управления. Киберократия является реальным, а не мнимым явлением и в связи с этим требует учета в ходе каждодневной управленческой деятельности. Ряд вопросов в статье изложены в постановочном ключе и в дальнейшем выступят в качестве предмета самостоятельного осмысления.
Власть как предпосылка управления
Authors: Inshakova E. G.
Published: July 2024

Рассматриваются вопросы соотношения власти и управления. Предпринята попытка осмысления основного предназначения власти, которая создает условия для возникновения и существования управления. Подчеркивается, что отсутствие надлежащего управления приводит к кризисным состояниям, конфликтам, социальной напряженности, и чаще всего в этом виновата именно власть. Субъект власти приобретает общественный смысл, когда превращается в субъект управления и становится звеном в реализации закономерностей общественного развития.

Authors: Matytsin A.D.
Published: July 2024

В современный период медиация – объект активной научной дискуссии, но на уровне общей теории права комплексное научное понимание этого феномена не сложилось, поэтому цель данной статьи – раскрыть историческую эволюцию и современное значение института медиации. Анализируются медиативные общественные отношения в праве в различные исторические периоды и связь этих процедур с современностью. Делается вывод о том, что медиативные правоотношения являются закономерным итогом исторического развития права как в зарубежных, так и в отечественной правовых системах.

How to Include Artificial Bodies as Citizens
Authors: Nayar Pramod K.
Published: July 2024

This essay ponders on the thorny issue of including artificial beings under the category of “citizen.” The increasing humanization of the artificial being, it suggests, prevents us from seeing and treating the machine as a being. But if the humanoid robot performs all the functions of a human being, and acquires cultural traits such as emotional intelligence, rational thinking, or altruism, then on what grounds do we deny it the same status as a human person? Conversely, as more and more humans are cyborged, through transplants, implants, and prostheses, resulting in an erasure of their “core” humanity, then what is the difference between such a cyborged human with human rights and an artificial being?
ANALYSIS OF EXPORT-LED GROWTH MODEL FOR TÜRKİYE ECONOMY WITH MARKOV REGIME SWITCHING MODEL
Authors: Artekin Ayşe Özge
Published: July 2024

Research on the export-led growth model is significant due to the contribution of exports to the development of domestic sectors and its positive impact on national values, especially employment and growth. Therefore, countries prefer the export-led growth model by increasing their export volumes with an outward-oriented policy. When Turkiye's growth figures are analyzed, it is feasible to say that there is a strong connection between exports and economic growth. In this study, within the framework of export-led growth hypotheses, the additive of exports to Turkiye's growth dynamics between 1980 and 2022 is investigated. The aim of the study is to econometrically test the intercourse between exports and GDP in the Turkiye economy. In the analysis, first linear unit root analyses were implemented. Then, the dynamic correlation relationship between exports and GDP was analyzed with DCC-GARCH, and the dynamic regression relationship was performed with the Markov regime switching model. As a consequence of the examines, it was seen that the dynamic correlation indicators and Markov model results were consistent with each other. While it was found that the correlation decreased during the high volatility period, a decrease in the number of regressions was observed according to the Markov model results.
PREDICTION OF ROCK TENSILE FRACTURE TOUGHNESS: HYBRID ANN-WOA MODEL APPROACH
Authors: Dolatshahi Alireza , Molladavoodi Hamed
Published: July 2024

Various techniques are used in rock engineering to evaluate tensile fracture toughness, which is a critical parameter in assessing and designing stable rock structures. These methods typically involve laboratory investigations and statistical analysis. Nevertheless, artificial neural networks can also establish correlations among different data sets. Artificial intelligence approaches are becoming increasingly essential in all engineering fields, including the ones that study rock fracture mechanics. In this work, an artificial neural network with a hidden layer and eight neurons as well as a hybrid artificial neural network with a whale optimization algorithm were utilized to determine the tensile fracture toughness of rocks. In order to develop accurate models, this study has carefully selected four fundamental parameters to serve as inputs. These parameters include radius, thickness, crack length, and mean tensile strength of specimens. Also, 113 rock datasets were collected for models. The results show that utilization of the optimization algorithm enhances the precision in estimating the tensile fracture toughness of rocks. The R2 improved to 0.93 when the whale optimization algorithm was used. On the other hand, the correlation factor reached 0.81 when the whale optimization algorithm was not implemented.
KNOWLEDGE DRIVEN METHODS FOR CU-AU PORPHYRY POTENTIAL MODELLING; A CASE STUDY OF THE MOKHTARAN AREA, EASTERN IRAN
Authors: Jahantigh Moslem , Ramazi Hamidreza
Published: July 2024

Current research investigates multi-criteria decision methods, consisting of AHP TOPSIS, AHP VIKOR and AHP MOORA, to model porphyry copper potential in the Mokhtaran area in Eastern Iran. Evidential layers in this study include intrusive rocks, volcanic rocks, faults, Geochemical mineralization probability index (GMPI), reduction to the magnetic pole of the total magnetic intensity map, argillic and phyllic alterations. The importance of these evidential layers was calculated using the AHP method. Then, a fuzzy method was applied to the same scale the evidential layers. The threshold values of these layers were discretized with the Fractal method. Then, a weight was assigned to each evidential layer. After weighing all of the evidential layers, different MCDM methods, including AHP TOPSIS, AHP VIKOR, and AHP MOORA, were implemented to combine these layers and outline the Porphyry Copper Prospectivity Models. The predicted models show the same promising areas. The appropriate coincidence can be seen between high potential areas and mine indications. Then the success curve rate was implemented to compare the three predicted models. Based on this method, the AHP TOPSIS has a better performance. Since the success rate curve belongs to AHP TOPSIS, it is placed above the other two methods. Next, AHP VIKOR has a better performance than AHP MOORA. The three MCDM methods produced the same Cu porphyry mineralization areasd along fault zones.
A Collaborative Approach to the Analysis of Northwest Coast Treasures from the Ehlers Collection in Denmark
Authors: Naum Magdalena , Ahlqvist Laura , Gidins Aay Aay , Ḥaa’yuups None , Birch Thomas
Published: July 2024

The paper examines three late nineteenth–early twentieth century Pacific Northwest coast objects—a Nuu-chah-nulth kuxmin (bird rattle), a Haida sGaaga (medicine man) figure, and a Kwakwaka’wakw or Wuikinuxv wooden model of a totem pole—from the collections of the Ehlers museum in Haderslev, Denmark. Drawing on multiple sources and epistemologies and structuring the study as a weaving of different narratives and perspectives, we investigate the identity of the objects, the materials and pigments used in their making, their function and value in the Indigenous contexts, as well as their significance as collectors’ objects. The article draws attention to the Native American collections at Danish museums, which have not attracted much scholarly attention, and illustrates a need and fruitfulness of a multi-epistemological approach in their studies.
Ballot Collection and Native American Voters: An Assessment of Benefits and Costs
Authors: McCool Daniel , McCool Weston
Published: July 2024

This article assesses the benefits and alleged costs of ballot collection on Indian reservations. Using the conceptual frame of the “cost of voting,” the research analyzes the impact of ballot collection by examining trends in vote-by-mail programs, socioeconomic variables, distance to polls and mail locations, and US Postal Service delivery on Indian reservations. It then uses a statistical analysis to test the claim that ballot collection leads to voter fraud. Our analysis reveals that ballot collection offers significant opportunities to reduce inequality in voter costs for Native American voters but finds no support for the hypothesis that ballot collection leads to fraud. These findings have significant implications for the voting rights of Native Americans, who tend to rely on ballot collection more than other voters. This research also offers a modification to the concept of voter costs.
