Authors:   Korea Univ. Institute of Educational Research, Lee Sungha
Published: December 2024

This study explores the relationship between MBTI personality types and multiple intelligences among first-year early childhood education students to inform customized teacher training. Data from 74 students who completed both the MBTI and multiple intelligences tests were analyzed using chi-square tests. Results showed extroverts (E) identified interpersonal intelligence as their strength, while introverts (I) also highlighted intrapersonal intelligence (χ² = 14.704, p = .012). Thinking types (T) showed strength in intrapersonal intelligence, and Feeling types (F) in interpersonal intelligence (χ² = 22.186, p = .000). Regarding weaknesses, Thinking types (T) reported naturalist intelligence, and Feeling types (F) noted logical-mathematical intelligence (χ² = 15.841, p = .027). The study recommends tailored training: extroverted teachers focusing on collaboration, introverted teachers on individualized guidance, and Feeling types on stress management. Experiential learning is advised to strengthen naturalist and bodily-kinesthetic intelligences, improving overall teacher effectiveness.
Comparative view of coercivity mechanisms in soft and hard magnetic materials
Authors: de Campos Marcos Flavio , de Castro José Adilson
Published: December 2024

The main differences between soft and hard magnetic materials are commented on. It is discussed how the coercivity mechanisms can be affected by the domain wall energy. A spherical cap nucleus is used for this analysis. There is a competition between magnetostatic energy and domain wall energy terms. As a consequence, for soft magnetic materials, the magnetostatic energy term is dominant over the domain wall energy term. An explanation for the dependence of the coercivity with grain size is presented. For grain size above the single domain size, in hard magnetic materials with high magnetocrystalline anisotropy, the coercivity decreases following a law proportional to the inverse of the square root of the grain size, whereas in soft magnetic materials, the coercivity reduces proportionally to the inverse of grain size.

Published: December 2024

This study investigates the organizational culture and lean readiness using the Organiza tional Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI) and Lean Culture Assessment Model (LCAM) to implement lean for improving productivity in one of the Indian Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). The OCAI study results found that the organization has a family-style corporate culture and horizontal leadership. LCAM results showed that the company’s score on lean readiness is very low. Further, study through interaction with key organizational personnel revealed that the day-to-day operations were cluttered and lacked direction. The diagnostic study helped identify the cultural issues and problems of the company. The imple mentation of lean was undertaken for 15 months, resulting in a reduced workforce and timely delivery of orders. It also generated cash through the liquidation of scraps and non-productive assets. A refreshed culture further led to sustained and improved motivation among staff with a sense of achievement.

Representing Environmental Disaster in the Anthropocene: Varun Thomas Mathew’s The Black Dwarves of the Good Little Bay as an Ecodystopia
Authors: Rajbanshi Manoj , Kumar Nagendra
Published: December 2024

In recent years, anxiety around anthropogenic climate change and its consequences has taken centre-stage in the narratives of contemporary novels. The abundance of ecodystopian novels placed in futuristic climate-changed settings with visions of apocalypse or dystopian futures, reflect the contemporary anguish around climate crisis. It is also the case of India, where many contemporary writers have adopted the literary mode of dystopia to envision the future societies grappling with the consequences of climate change and ecological disaster. Against this backdrop, Varun Thomas Mathew’s The Black Dwarves of the Good Little Bay (2019) is an attempt in fictional form to depict the ecological concerns and environmental crisis caused by anthropogenic climate change. It captures the mind by staging an extreme climate crisis like the Arabian Sea invading the whole city of Mumbai resulting in the rise of a dystopian city settling in a gigantic drome. This article explores how Mathew’s novel depicts the dystopian imagination in the Anthropocene through the portrayal of a city after an environmental disaster. It also critically engages with the representations of non-human world’s agency and the politics of memory in a collapsed ecosystem. Moreover, this article also makes a parallel reading of dystopian themes by referring to Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World (1932).
Accuracy degradation aware bit rate allocation for layer-wise uniform quantization of weights in neural network
Authors: Nikolić Jelena , Tomić Stefan , Perić Zoran , Jovanović Aleksandra , Aleksić Danijela
Published: December 2024

Motivated by the fact that optimizing quantization error fails to minimize the accuracy degradation caused by the quantization of Neural Network (NN) weights, in this paper, we highlight the need for a comprehensive analysis of post-training quantization, covering average bit rate, accuracy degradation and SQNR. One such analysis, for the layer-wise uniform quantization and its application is NN weight compression is presented in this paper. We introduce an additional aspect of Uniform Quantizer (UQ) choice, and we allow the selection of one of two UQs (2-bit or 3-bit UQs) for each layer of NN. However, choosing a particular bit rate allocation to minimize average bit rate and accuracy degradation requires finding a trade-off solution. To solve the issue underpinning our motivation, for a post-training layer-wise uniform quantization framework with two UQs, we propose an algorithm for generating bit rate allocation patterns and corresponding pairs of average bit rate and accuracy degradation. We analyze the output of this algorithm and determine a solution of the elaborated two-objective optimization problem. To confirm the validity of the results we also apply the Pareto dominance method. This work can be considered a solid foundation for further analyses of more complex and deeper NNs.

The OBJECTIVE was to develop a classification of isolated occlusive stenotic lesion (OSL) of the internal iliac artery (IIA) based on the analysis of pelvic arteriography data.METHODS AND MATERIALS. The retrospective study included 90 patients (mean age 64.6±7.4 years) who underwent pelvic catheter arteriography and were diagnosed with unilateral or bilateral hemodynamically significant (stenosis >50% or occlusion) occlusive stenotic lesion (OSL) of the internal iliac artery (IIA). An analysis of the branching pattern of the IIA according to the Yamaki classification and an assessment of the degree and prevalence of lesion to its basin, including three arterial segments, were carried out.RESULTS. Among 158 (88%) IIA with hemodynamically significant patency disorder in 90 (57%) IIAs, the isolated OSL were identified, and its three types were identified: I (n=29) – local hemodynamically significant OSL in one arterial segment of the IIA basin; II (n=44) – diffuse hemodynamically significant OSL in several arterial segments with partial preservation of contrasted lumen of the trunk and/or branches of the IIA; III (n=17) – chronic occlusion with lack of contrasting of the trunk and branches of the IIA. Branching types «A» and «B» according to Yamaki classification were identified in 47 (52 %) and 7 (8 %) cases, respectively. It was not possible to reliably establish the branching variant of 36 (40 %) IIAs, in the vast majority of cases due to the prevalence of lesions in its basin (belonged to types II and III). A satisfactory level of agreement between two vascular surgeons on the application of the proposed classification was established.CONCLUSION. The proposed classification allows assessing the prevalence of occlusive stenotic lesion of the internal iliac artery, which may be important when choosing tactics and predicting the results of surgical treatment of such patients; further study of the possibility of its use in clinical practice is necessary.

Unruhe im Kleinstaat - Der Schweizer Generalstreik von 1918 im internationalen Vergleich
Authors: Senn Martin A. , Straumann Tobias
Published: December 2024

Im November 1918 bricht in der Schweiz ein Generalstreik aus. Welche Gründe stehen dahinter – die Verschlechterung des Lebensstandards oder die politischen Spannungen am Ende des Ersten Weltkriegs? Die Autoren vergleichen die schweizerischen Verhältnisse mit denen in anderen neutralen europäischen Kleinstaaten und zeigen so, dass die politischen Gründe weitaus wichtiger waren als bisher in der Forschung angenommen. Vor allem die fehlende Integration der Sozialdemokratie war entscheidend. Während die Sozialdemokraten etwa in Dänemark, Schweden und den Niederlanden Einfluss nehmen konnten, blieben sie in der Schweiz weitgehend ausgeschlossen. Erst im Sommer 1918 versuchte der Bundesrat, sie in die Landesversorgung einzubeziehen, aber es war bereits zu spät, um die Radikalisierung des linken Zürcher Flügels aufzuhalten, die den Generalstreik auslöste. Untersucht wird schliesslich, wie die damals wütende Grippepandemie den Konflikt beeinflusste.
A Study on the Factors Affecting the Default of Returning the Jeonsei Deposit : For Busan Metropolitan City
Authors:   Korean Association for Housing Policy Studies, Choi Woogue , Park Jaera , Choi Changgyu
Published: December 2024

Recently, the number of cases of jeonse deposit repayment defaults, where tenants cannot receive their jeonse deposits when their lease contracts expire, has increased rapidly. Based on the data on jeonse deposit repayment guarantees of the Housing and Urban Guarantee Corporation in Busan Metropolitan City, this study analyzed the factors affecting jeonse deposit repayment defaults using binary logistic regression. The results of the analysis showed that the factors affecting jeonse deposit repayment defaults were housing type, real jeonse ratio, and jeonse supply and demand index. In particular, from the result that the real jeonse ratio has a positive effect on jeonse deposit repayment defaults, it was confirmed that the self-capital theory is also applicable to the jeonse market. In addition, the impact of jeonse deposit repayment defaults varies depending on the type of housing and the liquidity of submarkets. The real jeonse ratio is a positive factor for apartments and efficiency apartment, but a negative factor for detached houses, and interest rates are a positive factor for apartments and a negative factor for efficiency apartment. Housing prices are not significant factors in the overall jeonse market, but they are significant positive factors in the local jeonse market for efficiency apartment. Based on the results of this study, we suggest that housing policies should be prepared considering that the factors affecting jeonse deposit repayment defaults are different for overall market units and submarkets by housing type.
A Study on Improving the Jeonse System to Prevent Jeonse Fraud
Authors:   Korean Association for Housing Policy Studies, Kim JinYoo , Kwon HyuckShin
Published: December 2024

Various efforts have been implemented to address the issues in the Jeonse system but such efforts remain insufficient. This study seeks to systematically classify the types of Jeonse fraud, review the measures suggested by previous studies, and propose comprehensive and specific improvements to the Jeonse system overall to prevent fraud.
This study proposes several solutions. First, we recommend making Jeonse registration mandatory as the most straightforward method to ensure public disclosure of rental housing information and secure tenants' rights. Second, we suggest implementing a cap on the Jeonse rate to deter reckless gap investment. Third, it is necessary to require notification when there is a change of landlord during the lease period, as this could significantly reduce fraud involving the transfer of ownership to insolvent parties who then evade responsibility for returning deposits. Fourth, strengthening information sharing between Jeonse-related organizations is crucial to prevent the submission of false contracts or double contracts. Fifth, regarding the brokerage system, we propose reinforcing the accountability of certified real estate agents, mandating landlords to provide essential information, improving standard contracts, and requiring use of such contracts. Lastly, it is essential to introduce various guarantee and insurance systems to alleviate the difficulties faced by tenants.
A Study on the Factors Influencing the Sales Price of Competitive Bidding on Store-Housing Land in Land Development Districts: Focusing on the Seoul Metropolitan Area Developed by LH
Authors:   Korean Association for Housing Policy Studies, Hwang KyungSik
Published: December 2024

This study analyzed the factors influencing the sales price of store-housing land in land development districts. Store-housing land, which combines residential and commercial functions, has garnered significant interest as a profitable real estate product. This study employs the hedonic price model to analyze the variables affecting sales prices in competitive bidding. The analysis reveals two key findings, residentail rental income and commercial function.
Variables related to the rental income potential of multi-family houses on store-housing land, such as floor area ratio and land usability period, positively influence bidding prices. This indicates that the potential rental income value of these properties is a critical factor Most variables that enhance the commercial value of store-housing, such as location, accessibility, demand and potential demand also positively impact bid prices. These factors suggest that the commercial function's value is significantly reflected in the sales price of store-housing land.
This research is academically significant as it is the first to investigate the characteristics of store-housing land in land development districts and empirically analyze the factors influencing sales prices of individual parcels. The empirical findings provide practical implications for determining the sales price of store-housing land, offering insights for both market participants and policymakers.
On the Question of Comedy in the Prose of Leonid Dobychin
Authors:   Institute for Russian and Altaic Studies, CBNU, Kim Joon Seok
Published: December 2024

В настоящей статье рассматриваются эстетика и приемы создания комического в романе Л.И. Добычина «Город Эн». По мнению автора статьи, использование термина «ирония» в литературном мире Добычина условно. Это связано с тем, что «перегибы», «дистанцирование» и «злоба», проявляющиеся в ироническом дискурсе, в произведениях Л.И. Добычина смягчаются и компенсируются лирическими эмоциями, что определяет оценку многочисленных комедийных приемов в творчестве Добычина.
В романе «Город Эн» (1935) комизм основан на столкновении двух противоположных логик и достигается путем использования таких приемов, как цитирование, портретная характеристика, искажение широко известных текстов и многих тругих традиционных приемов комического. Однако юмор Л.И. Добычина заметно отличается от юмора других русских писателей 1920-1930-х гг. Аура, создаваемая комическими приемами в романе «Город Эн», более сдержанна и мрачна по характеру. Ещё одним отличием является глубокая вовлеченность писателя в комические конфликты своего произведения, которая минимизирует «ироническую дистанцию» между автором и происходящими в романе событиями.
Memory and Records. The Blockade Texts of Olga Bergholz (2): Reading the Autobiographical Prose Daytime Stars
Authors:   Institute for Russian and Altaic Studies, CBNU, Kang Su Kyung
Published: December 2024

This is the second paper written on the subject of Olga Bergholz’s Blockade texts. Here, we analyze her autobiographical prose work Daytime Stars(1959), which the poet herself called her “life book.” In this article, we read Daytime Stars from two perspectives. First, we consider how the themes of life, death, and resurrection, which were consistently repeated in her diaries and works from the 1930s through the blockade period, appear in Daytime Stars. Second, we examine how her critical awareness of historical trauma in her wartime texts is reflected in this book.
In Daytime Stars, Olga Bergholz recalls her childhood memories and realizes that she has forgotten the most important thing in life: a warm heart for loved ones and the warmth of life that ordinary people have. She realizes that her reason for living lies in art and literature. While Olga Bergholz focused on the country, people, and patriotism in her wartime works, in Daytime Stars she goes beyond this paradigm and embraces feelings of love, compassion, and forgiveness toward the world and its people. Bergholz achieves historical accuracy through her narrative method of speaking directly, and universalizing her experience as a common experience. In addition, by recalling memories of the past, she shows us how to gain insight into our lives here and now.

The study focused on analyzing socio-environmental disasters resulting from mining activities in Minas Gerais, Brazil, through the lens of Green Criminology. Using the hypothetical-deductive method, the research sought to identify alternative and falsifiable hypotheses, allowing for a critical analysis of the issues in question. Minas Gerais plays a crucial role in iron ore production, contributing significantly to the Brazilian and global economy. The most notorious disasters include the collapse of tailings dams, the contamination of rivers and the negative impact on the quality of life of local communities. These growing concerns require an in-depth and critical analysis to understand the criminal and socio-environmental dimensions present in the context of mining. In order to achieve the general objective of this research, specific objectives were established. Firstly, the study sought to contextualize large-scale mining in Brazil, highlighting its economic importance and the social and environmental implications related to this activity. The research also investigated the adherence of Green Criminology to the reality of mining, considering the legal and criminological implications involved. In addition, it explored the connections between crimes committed by powerful entities in the mining sector and the Green Criminology approach. The application of damage theory was highlighted as an analytical tool to examine the wider implications of these practices. The conclusion of this study highlights the need for a more comprehensive and sustainable approach to dealing with the challenges of large-scale mining and the resulting socio-environmental disasters. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of assessing the different individual responsibilities in relation to environmental damage and highlights the need for a critical analysis of the relationships between power, crime and social harm, especially in the context of the mining industry and socio-environmental issues.
The in dubio pro natura principle in the light of scientific evidence:state responsibility
Authors: Sanabria-Rangel Álvaro Augusto
Published: December 2024

The In Dubio Pro Natura has evolved as a separate principle from the precaution principle under environmental law.  This article aims to analyse both the In Dubio Pro Natura principle and the precaution principle in the light of scientific evidence and state responsibility.  The precaution principle applies as a general rule in cases in which there are potential risks of serious environmental damage irrespective of the existence of scientific certainty over the said risks.  On the other hand, the In Dubio Pro Natura principle offers a higher degree of protection to the environment and their interests than the obligation to act with precaution since it is the basis for preferring the interpretation of norms that grants the highest degree of protection to the environment.  The author of this article, argues that in scenarios in which state authorities have a higher degree of responsibility over the handling of a situation and could control the adverse effects of a threat to the environment, public health or sustainability, for instance in extractivist projects, the use of the In Dubio Pro Natura principle should be preferred.    Conversely, this article examines the global fight against climate change and the setting of global goals in one hand and the potential risks new technologies may have over biodiversity on the other as two examples where the In Dubio Pro Natura principle cannot be applied.  In the first case, there is scientific consensus over the urgency to address climate change.  However, in spite of global commitments, the individual state responsibility and control over this course of action is weak.  In the second scenario, the author refers to the regulation to the use of new technologies where national authorities exercise a higher degree of control in cases where there is not enough certainty over the risks posed to the environment or public health.  In these cases, the precaution principle is preferred.

Mujeres Indígenas Universitarias, reflexiones en torno a sus experiencias
Authors: Diaz Ducuara Ana Milena , Ortiz Quevedo Jenny Patricia
Published: December 2024

In today’s society, the various roles played by women and their impact on their communities has grown in importance. Thus, we need to realize women’s struggles are different and related to cultural diversity, and the experiences stemming from that circumstance. Hence the need to understand the barriers, challenges, and struggles faced by Indigenous women at the university drawing on an intercultural feminist approach. Following Bonilla and Rodriguez’ qualitative methodology, we found several challenges encountered by Indigenous university woman students regarding their recognition as social subjects. Likewise, they face the challenge of harmonizing their cultural identity experiences and social demands, as well as finding their place as autonomous and members of a collective. In addition, attention should be paid to structural, social and academic hindrances in women’s educational process and the roles they hold, which imply greater visibility, creating safe spaces, and exchanging cultural views.

Authors: Rivera Díaz María del Pilar , Cándelo Viáfara Juan Manuel , Gallo Ramírez Andrea Patricia , Cumbe Mora Maria Paula
Published: December 2024

Este libro, producto de un proyecto de investigación, plantea herramientas que permiten no solo diagnosticar los impactos ambientales que se originan de las actividades industriales, sino también identificar todos los aspectos ambientales que intervienen en los procesos de fabricación, evaluar los impactos que se producen en el medioambiente, y proponer medidas de control para mitigar o reducir la contaminación ambiental originada por dichos procesos. En el primer capítulo se establece una guía para diagnosticar el desempeño ambiental de una empresa y su influencia en la salud del trabajador. En el segundo se plantea una propuesta para el mejoramiento ambiental de la producción de café en una finca productora ubicada en el departamento del Huila, por medio de la norma ISO 14040. En el último capítulo se propone el uso de la logística inversa para llantas en una empresa de trasporte del municipio de Guadalajara de Buga. De esa forma, se destacan casos y herramientas propias de la ingeniería y de la gestión para mejorar el desempeño ambiental de las empresas, con el fin de fomentar en ellas una mayor sostenibilidad ambiental.
Aristóteles. Necesidad y responsabilidad moral
Authors: Gómez Espíndola Laura Liliana
Published: December 2024

Ha sido un problema recurrente a lo largo de la historia de la filosofía la tensión que existe entre las concepciones deterministas de la realidad y nuestras prácticas de responsabilidad moral. Ha sido, así mismo, de gran debate entre los intérpretes de Aristóteles; por un lado, si acaso él defendía o siquiera vislumbraba una visión determinista de la realidad y si tenía una teoría de la responsabilidad moral y, por el otro, en caso de tenerlas, si encontraba alguna tensión en estas teorías.

En el libro Aristóteles: Necesidad y responsabilidad moral la autora se ocupa de analizar los conceptos de necesidad y de responsabilidad moral en Aristóteles, con el objeto de resolver estos interrogantes. Para ello estudia las obras del corpus lógico, físico, epistemológico y biológico de Aristóteles, para comprender el uso del concepto de necesidad en estos contextos, y además analiza las obras de psicología moral y de ética con el objeto de comprender la agencia humana y la teoría aristotélica de la responsabilidad moral.

The Meaning of the Palace on Fire Scene in Gulliver’s Travels and Its Adaptations in Selected English and Polish Abridged Versions of Jonathan Swift’s Novel
Authors:   Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce, Kaptur Paweł
Published: December 2024

The palace on fire scene in the first part of Gulliver’s Travels, when the main
protagonist extinguishes the flames by urinating on them, has become the symbol of Swift’s
personal criticism of authority and the institution of monarchy. For obvious reasons, in
children’s version of the novel, the scene is remade and reinterpreted in a multitude of
manners to remove the embarrassing physiological element that both young readers and
their parents might find outrageous or simply offensive. The aim of the present article is to
discuss the critical meaning of the scene in relation to Jonathan Swift’s political views and
to demonstrate the great miscellany of variants of the scene in selected abridged versions of
Gulliver’s Travels in Polish and English.

The article deals with the role of inverter technology in the future development of
renewable energies, existing methods for measuring the loss power of inductive
elements and their further development, which are used in pulse or resonance
inverters for heating and energy supply based on renewable energies. The
research presents an overview of the existing methods and their applicability for
measuring the power loss of inductive elements. A new approach is proposed
for the preliminary estimation of the power loss of inductive elements based on
measurements that approximate real operating conditions. The actual state of the
technology in this field is described and the functional concept of test current
generators is presented. The difficulties in separating the power loss into individual
components are considered and the characteristics of the measurement method
for solving this problem are addressed. In addition, the physical causes of the
individual components of power losses in inductive elements are discussed and
recommendations for minimizing are demonstrated.
