Sea Level Rise and Coastal Erosion in Miami
Authors: Gonzalez Emma
Published: September 2024

Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze the sea level rise and coastal erosion in Miami.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: Sea level rise and coastal erosion in Miami are growing environmental concerns due to the city's low elevation and proximity to the ocean. Studies have shown that rising sea levels, driven by climate change, are accelerating the erosion of Miami's coastline, threatening infrastructure, homes, and ecosystems. The increased frequency of tidal flooding and storm surges exacerbates the problem, making coastal areas more vulnerable.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Resilience theory, social vulnerability theory, ecosystem-based adaptation (EBA) Theory may be used to anchor future studies on sea level rise and coastal erosion in Miami. Implement local ICZM strategies that involve stakeholders in decision-making processes, ensuring that community needs are met while enhancing coastal resilience. Advocate for policies that support adaptive management practices and funding for local ICZM initiatives.

Проанализированы факторы и условия, определившие динамику реагирования отдельных секторов на внешние шоки. Отмечена важность изучения технологического фактора для структурной трансформации обрабатывающих производств.
Анализ федеральной трансфертной политики в России
Authors: Сумская Т.В.
Published: September 2024

В статье проведен анализ доходов бюджетов субъектов Российской Федерации за период 2012-2020 гг. в постоянных ценах. Определены территории с максимальными и минимальными размерами налоговых и неналоговых доходов, а также безвозмездных перечислений. Для определения направленности бюджетной политики федерального центра рассчитаны показатели неоднородности налоговых и неналоговых доходов, совокупных доходов и безвозмездных перечислений, поступающих в региональные бюджеты, а также коэффициент ранговой корреляции Спирмена для доходов регионов без учета трансфертов из федерального бюджета и с учетом данных перечислений. С использованием средств регрессионного анализа установлено, что в целом бюджетная политика направлена на сглаживание межрегиональных различий в структуре бюджетных доходов российских регионов, однако регионам необходимо предоставить более широкие налоговые полномочия, что повысит их заинтересованность в наращивании налоговых доходов. Состав регионов, имеющих наименьшие значения налоговых и неналоговых доходов, в течение рассмотренного периода практически не меняется, поэтому нельзя сделать вывод об эффективности применяемого трансфертного механизма.
Адаптация лесного комплекса Республики Коми к санкционному давлению
Authors: Шишелов М.А. , Стыров М.М.
Published: September 2024

В статье анализируются текущие результаты адаптации лесного комплекса Республики Коми к неблагоприятным внешнеэкономическим условиям 2022-2023 гг. Показаны динамика ресурсной эффективности предприятий, изменения в товарной линейке продукции и параметры основных инвестиционных проектов предшествовавших лет. На основании опроса руководителей предприятий выявлено влияние санкций на их деятельность и способы его смягчения. Выполнен сценарный прогноз изменения эффективности использования древесины в лесном комплексе региона на период до 2030 г. В краткосрочном периоде отмечаются преимущественно негативные последствия санкций: потеря зарубежных рынков сбыта, удорожание финансовых ресурсов, проблемы с поставкой импортных комплектующих. Основная стратегия деятельности в предстоящие годы – переориентация «с запада на восток» без существенных изменений в хозяйственной политике. Но применительно к долгосрочной перспективе следует задуматься о пересмотре парадигмы экономики, о переходе от сугубо рыночных механизмов и интересов к более социальному, человекоориентированному укладу.

Применение VAR-моделей для оценки влияния бюджетных расходов на динамику ВВП
Authors: Матвеев Е.О. , Соколов И.А.
Published: September 2024

В настоящем исследовании при помощи бюджетного мультипликатора оценивается эффективность государственных расходов. Новацией данной работы стала оценка VAR-модели российской экономики с меняющимися во времени коэффициентами и параметрами волатильности макроэкономических показателей, что, в отличие от существующих исследований, позволило рассчитать значение бюджетного мультипликатора отдельно для каждого года выбранного временного интервала (2005-2023 гг.) и описать его динамику. По результатам расчетов можно отметить снижение эффективности бюджетных расходов по мере наращивания их объема, что особенно заметно в кризисные периоды. Расчет мультипликаторов в разрезе основных функциональных разделов позволил выявить зависимость эффективности бюджетных расходов от их структуры: снижение эффективности совокупных расходов в период до 2009 г. связано в основном с падением отдачи от социальных расходов, а дальнейшая динамика обусловлена довольно стремительным сокращением положительного воздействия на экономику со стороны «силовых» трат.
Стратегии декарбонизации предприятий цементной промышленности: российские и международные бенчмаркинги
Authors: Тагаева Т.О. , Горбачева Н.В. , Савина А.И.
Published: September 2024

Принцип «загрязнитель платит» ставит крупных эмитентов парниковых газов (ПГ) во главу угла современной климатической политики стран и регионов. При этом неэнергетические промышленные предприятия, в отличие от энергокомпаний, представляют более трудоемкий для декарбонизации сектор экономики и имеют больше рисков при введении системы торговли квотами, запущенной в 2021 г. пока в качестве эксперимента в России. Цель статьи – провести сравнительный анализ стратегий декарбонизации цементных предприятий – Искитимцемент (Новосибирская обл., Россия) и Aalborg Portland (Дания), сопоставимых по истории развития, объему производства, бизнес-процессам. Вместе с этим, накопленный с 2005 г. датский опыт демонстрирует новые возможности и вероятные риски, с которыми могут столкнуться российские предприятия цементной промышленности, сдавшие впервые в своей истории углеродную отчетность только в 2023 г. Проведенный расчет эмиссии ПГ по охватам 1 и 2 Искитимцемента показывает разрыв в углеродоемкости производства цемента по сравнению с российскими и международными бенчмаркингами. Этот разрыв обусловлен не только технологическими особенностями, но и методическими подходами к углеродной отчетности, которые также требуют модернизации в России.

Pharmacotherapy of older and senile patients. Review
Authors: Kuprash Liana , Panteleymonova Tetyana , Kuprash Olena
Published: September 2024

Drug therapy of older and senile patients has several features due to age-related changes in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs, as well as the nature of the development and course of the disease. Age-related changes in drug pharmacodynamics, and increased or decreased sensitivity to drugs of different pharmacotherapeutic groups significantly affect the drug effectiveness and safety in the body. These peculiarities must be considered when prescribing pharmacotherapy for elderly and senile patients, and adjusting doses and regimens of drug administration. Morbidity in older people is characterised by a high level of polymorbidity and polypharmacy caused by it. When prescribing medicine to older patients, it has to observe all indications and contraindications. The drug interaction problem, which can increase the side effects risk, requires special attention under the conditions of age-related polymorbidity and polypharmacy. To optimise the metabolism and functions of the body, it is advisable to include metabolic therapy drugs in the older patients' complex therapy. Adherence to the rules for prescribing medicines according to the age-related features of their action is an important prerequisite for rational pharmacotherapy of older and senile patients.

Optimized Control of 3DOF Variable Stiffness Link Manipulator Using Feedback Linearization PD and Sliding Mode Approaches
Authors: Mina Raafat Ramzy , Sherif Aly Hammad , Shady Ahmed Maged
Published: September 2024

Purpose: This study focuses on the control of a 3-degree-of-freedom (3DOF) variable stiffness flexible links manipulator, employing diverse control techniques to address the challenges associated with its inherent structural flexibilities. Variable Stiffness Link (VSL) manipulators offer enhanced adaptability and safety in various applications by dynamically adjusting their link stiffness. This feature allows them to optimize performance for different tasks, from delicate operations to robust industrial use. However, the variable stiffness introduces complex nonlinear dynamics, significantly complicating precise control and necessitating advanced control strategies.
Methodology: The research investigates two advanced control methods: linearized feedback proportional-derivative (PD) control and sliding mode control (SMC). These techniques are employed for both position and trajectory control of the system, aiming to maintain precise joint angles while minimizing oscillations in the end effector. The controller designs for both linearized feedback PD and sliding mode control are presented, including stability analyses using Lyapunov theory. Experimental work is conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of both control strategies.
Findings: The results demonstrate that both controllers achieve satisfactory performance in managing the complex dynamics of the flexible link system. The linearized feedback PD controller shows good tracking capabilities across the three joints while the sliding mode controller exhibits superior performance. Comparative analysis reveals that while both controllers effectively maintain stability and achieve precise trajectory tracking, the sliding mode controller displays marginally better performance in terms of steady-state errors and robustness to system nonlinearities.
Unique contribution to theory, policy and practice: This research contributes to the advancement of control techniques for flexible manipulators, offering promising solutions for improving the performance and reliability of this manipulator for automation applications.

Investigating the Pragmatics of Swearing in Classic English Dramas
Authors: Ali Alaa hussein , Mewada Chetan
Published: September 2024

The current work aims at assessing pragmatic uses of swearing in the English classics that include She Stoops to Conquer by Oliver Goldsmith, Doctor Faustus by Christopher Marlowe, Macbeth by William Shakespeare, and Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett. This paper adopts a quantitative method of analyzing the exact number of daily swearing occurrence, how swearing is used in these texts and the pragmatic functions of swearing. It is shown that swearing is primarily used for purposes of enriching the conflicts and the characters’ relations, with considerable differences in frequency across the works. As for the existential element, it is also heightened by the act of swearing in Doctor Faustus, while the element of emotion overwhelms the authority aspect in Macbeth. Thus, the research is relevant to the analysis of how profanity as rhetorical appeal is used to enrich the overall portrayal of the themes and the characters in classical works.

Authors: Avinash R. Avhad  , Pushpak S. Gangad  , Shubham M. Kharote  , Shreyas S. Muntode  , Prof. M. D. Sanap
Published: September 2024

The need of secure file transfer systems is higher nowadays. In order to enhance the security and privacy of private information transferred over the internet, our paper presents a blockchain-based secure file transfer system (BSFTS) with password protection. This system takes advantage of the decentralized and immutable properties of blockchain technology to ensure that every file transfer is Safe and Secure, offering verifiable audit trails that can minimize the threats associated with data tampering and unauthorized access.
Through forcing people to use strong, unique passwords for decryption as well as encryption, the combination of password protection further secures files by ensuring that only specified people may access the information. In addition to enhancing data confidentiality, this dual-layer strategy increases defences against possible cyberthreats, including phishing and brute force attacks.
Research shows that the blockchain-based secure file transfer system with password protection far exceeds standard file transfer techniques in terms of security and user experience. The results illustrate that password protection and blockchain technology work together to build a robust framework for secure file sharing. For companies trying to enhance their data protection plans in the face of changing security threats in the world of technology, this study provides helpful data

Estimation of Traffic Emissions by Integrating COPERT and CUBE
Authors: Vinayakumar Gopika
Published: September 2024

Air pollution caused by motor vehicles is harmful to public health. Managing the cause of this type of pollution is very difficult. Effective prediction and management of pollution can be attained only by computing air pollution. It is difficult to measure emissions directly, so it is estimated using a variety of models developed worldwide. The current study made an attempt to integrate the emission model COPERT with the traffic assignment model in CUBE software for predicting the traffic-related emissions of pollutants SO2, NO2 & PM2.5 in mixed traffic conditions by considering passenger car and light duty vehicles (LDVS), two-wheeler, auto and bus. The study also aimed to include fuel variables and meteorological variable humidity along with fleet composition, average speed and average monthly temperature as inputs. This would enable us to control the rising vehicular emission, by assessing current and future air quality and thereby implementing policy decisions.
Secuencia didáctica para la enseñanza del ciclo menstrual en un liceo monogenérico de varones a través de controversias socio-científicas
Authors: Hernández Berríos María Jesús
Published: September 2024

El ciclo menstrual es un tema abordado en 7°básico, el cual se presenta en el currículum centrado en saberes biomédicos, basado casi exclusivamente en definiciones de las etapas y los procesos. En un liceo exclusivo de varones, este tema es complejo de abordar debido a diferentes aristas, entre ellas, las actitudes frente a temáticas que no los afectan directamente. El análisis de textos escolares mostró que no existe una secuencia que logre abarcar este ciclo de manera más holística, logrando así mejorar también las actitudes de los estudiantes. Es por esta razón que planteó como objetivo principal diseñar, validar e implementar una secuencia de enseñanza-aprendizaje basada en controversias socio-científicas que logre generar un impacto en las actitudes y el aprendizaje sobre ciclo menstrual en un liceo monogenérico de varones. Este estudio posee un diseño cuasiexperimental, el alcance del estudio es exploratorio, mientras que, el análisis de datos fue de carácter mixto (cuanti-cualitativo). Se realizó un pre y post test de escala Likert para evaluar las actitudes de los estudiantes frente a la menstruación, además del análisis textual y posterior codificación de las respuestas de los estudiantes, para los conocimientos se evaluaron los niveles de representación de los estudiantes (pre y post a la aplicación de la secuencia). En base a los resultados analizados, se logra concluir que se cumple tanto la hipótesis como el objetivo general planteado, ya que mediante la implementación de la SEA basada en Controversias socio-científicas, fue posible lograr un impacto positivo tanto en actitudes (p=0,009<0,05; Gn: 0,0967 (B)) como en el aprendizaje (p=0,00<0,05) del ciclo menstrual y menstruación de estudiantes de un liceo monogenérico de varones.
El Aire: Más que sólo un soplo invisible. Representaciones de estudiantes secundarios
Authors: Carrasco Romero Ximena
Published: September 2024

El aire, un elemento esencial pero intangible, se representa de diversas maneras en la educación. Un estudio de imágenes en textos educativos y percepciones estudiantiles muestra una dualidad en su conceptualización: una perspectiva microscópica y otra macroscópica. Microscópicamente, se ilustra mediante moléculas y átomos, destacando su composición química y su papel en procesos como la respiración y la combustión. Los estudiantes visualizan el aire como partículas diminutas en interacción constante. Macrocópicamente, se presenta como un manto envolvente de la Tierra, vinculado a fenómenos climáticos y la presión atmosférica. Esta perspectiva hace que los estudiantes lo vean como un elemento omnipresente, crucial para la vida y fenómenos como la lluvia y el viento. El análisis en el contexto chileno revela tres tendencias: la mayoría de las representaciones son macroscópicas, con paisajes y atmósferas estáticas; estas imágenes carecen de un alto grado de iconicidad, lo que impide alcanzar competencias representacionales avanzadas; y generan concepciones erróneas en estudiantes, especialmente en la distinción entre partículas de aire y contaminantes. Solo el 9% de los estudiantes muestra una comprensión integrada de ambos niveles de representación. La investigación busca concienciar a docentes sobre la importancia de usar imágenes adecuadas, resaltar la relevancia del concepto en el aprendizaje, y presentar análisis de recursos educativos chilenos. Propone dos actividades didácticas para mejorar la enseñanza de ciencias, fomentando un aprendizaje interdisciplinario y el desarrollo de habilidades y actitudes científicas en los estudiantes

The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed the education system, leading to the implementation of a modular approach to education in many countries. This study aimed to identify the challenges faced by Grade 10 students in learning mathematics through this approach in the Philippines. The study involved 63 students, and data were collected using a self-made questionnaire validated by a psychometrician and panel members. The results revealed that the modular approach to education had a negative impact on the academic performance of Grade 10 students in mathematics, and financial problems, lack of resources, lack of family support, attitude towards the subject, and personal adjustment were identified as the main challenges that hindered their academic performance. Moreover, the use of English as a Second Language in the teaching instruction negatively impacted students' understanding of mathematical concepts. Based on these findings, the study recommended that the school administration and policymakers should provide financial assistance for internet connectivity and load, improve the availability of resources, encourage and support family involvement in their children's learning, consider students' language needs, and provide appropriate teaching strategies. The study provides important insights into the challenges faced by Grade 10 students during the pandemic and the impact of the modular approach to education on their academic performance in mathematics.

Data was obtained using a qualitative technique, with a questionnaire distributed to a sample of English-majored students. The findings show that, while students like the flexibility and accessibility of online learning, they also confront substantial hurdles such as technological concerns, decreased engagement with professors, and difficulty sustaining motivation and self-discipline. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the significance of teacher assistance, efficient communication, and better digital literacy among students. These findings can help educators and policymakers improve online learning environments and meet the particular needs of EFL learners in Vietnam.

'If mothers do not come along, I will not be able to liberate the country even after trying for a hundred years.' - Mahatma Mandhi “Who gives head by donating body's blood. Which kisses the noose of Fossi without giving dust to the country. We bow to such immortal women a hundred times.” Women have been involved in India's freedom struggle. The main beginning of the movement for special contribution to independence begins in 1857 in the house of Sheti Lakshmibai. In slave India, a woman queen had lit this fire and she was martyred while fighting with immense courage and bravery. It was here that the spirit of Britain was shaken and Indians were inspired to rise against the British.

In the modern, fast-paced organizational environment, emotional intelligence (EI), organizational commitment (OC), and job satisfaction (JS) have emerged as pivotal factors in fostering a productive and harmonious workplace. EI is the ability to perceive, control, and evaluate emotions that are widely recognized as a critical determinant of JS. OC is characterized by an employee's psychological attachment to their organization and is a crucial determinant of JS and overall organizational performance. However, there is a lack of comprehensive understanding regarding how EI contributes to OC and, subsequently, how OC mediates the relationship between EI and JS. This study seeks to investigate the mediating role of OC between EI and JS, providing a clearer understanding of how EI can be harnessed to foster a committed workforce and improve satisfaction at work. This study utilized Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to explore the relationship between EI, OC, and JS. The sample consisted of 102 faculty members from selected private colleges in Iligan City. Data were collected using a survey questionnaire measuring emotional intelligence, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction. The results revealed significant and positive relationships between EI and JS, EI and OC, and OC and JS. Additionally, OC was found to partially mediate the relationship between EI and JS. The findings highlight the importance of EI in enhancing JS through increased OC. Organizations are recommended to invest in developing EI among employees to foster a more committed and satisfied workforce.
