Article: Domestic Interest Groups and India’s Trade Policy Preferences in India-EU FTA Negotiations
Authors: Singh Surendar
Published: June 2024

India and the European Union (EU) resumed negotiations on a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) in 2022, aiming to strengthen their economic and strategic alliances. This study examines the influence of domestic interest groups in India on the India–EU FTA negotiations, using Robert Putnam’s two-level game literature to analyse their trade policy preferences. The study focuses on specific cases from the automobile and dairy sectors to highlight sector-specific interest groups. The findings reveal that influential and well-organized interest groups within the automobile sector are pressurizing the government to oppose trade liberalization efforts. Similarly, although unorganized and dispersed, the sheer size of domestic interest groups in the dairy sector, coupled with their electoral influence, empowers them to pressurize trade policymakers against liberalizing the dairy sector in the India–EU FTA negotiations.
Shaping Extraterritoriality under China’s Foreign Relation Regime
Authors: Chen Meng
Published: June 2024

Chinese fragmentary extraterritoriality provisions were eventually incorporated into the emerging foreign relations regime that was established with the promulgation of the Law on Foreign Relations of the People’s Republic of China (CFLA) and the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Foreign State Immunity (CFSIL) in 2023. With the international legal regime failing to provide a clear basis and effective channels to resolve increasing numbers of conflicts of interest between different states, the expanded use of extraterritoriality and sanctions has become increasingly prevalent in international practice. After elaborating on China’s legislative movements to expand the prescriptive jurisdiction of Chinese courts over national security and economic regulation, albeit with restrained judicial practice, this article emphasizes the internal connection between China’s expanding use of extraterritoriality and the current tendency in Chinese foreign relations towards resisting economic sanctions. By comparing China’s expanding path towards extraterritoriality with US- and EU-relevant practice, this article concludes that there is a noteworthy and controversial tendency of expanding extraterritoriality beyond the boundary of legitimate countermeasures and jurisprudence.
Three E-commerce Case Studies in the Context of Japanese Competition Enforcement: Comparative Considerations with the US Experience
Authors: Arai Koki , Hayakawa Yuichiro
Published: June 2024

This study compares three case studies in the context of Japanese competition law enforcement with the US experience. Although each case involves important issues, this study focuses on extracting common aspects of competition law by critically examining the following cases of Antimonopoly-Law-suspected violations pursued by the Japan Fair Trade Commission (JFTC): the e-commerce case against Amazon Japan, the shipping charges case against the Rakuten group, and billing-related suspected violations by Apple. After extracting the common aspects from each case, this study recursively re-examines the cases to clarify the aspects that should be emphasized in competition law enforcement.
Common Ownership in Brazil After Steel Sector Privatization
Authors: Klein Vinícius , Gomes Gabriela Pepeleascov
Published: June 2024

Privatization processes present a multifaceted challenge, especially in countries with fragile market institutions. This article delves into the complex dynamics of privatization, emphasizing the importance of balancing different interests with a particular focus on the role of competition law. While asset maximization has traditionally dominated privatization discussions, this study advocates for a broader perspective that uses privatization to enhance market institutions. As a base study and drawing on the Brazilian experience of the steel sector privatization, the article unravels the consequences of partial privatizations and the risk of common ownership and interconnected influence through the State. Ultimately, the article contributes to a comprehensive understanding of privatization’s role in competitive markets and economic progress.
Judges' considerations in passing decision based on the results of local inspection
Authors: Rasmi Wulan Ida Ayu Agung , Bagiastra SH, MH Dr. I Nyoman
Published: June 2024

This research sought to understand and compile a summary of the local inspections that judges carry out in criminal cases. The practice of criminal justice in Indonesia is evolving, and local inspections are increasingly occurring in both civil and criminal cases. The Criminal Procedure Code does not specifically prohibit local inspections during the judicial proof process in criminal cases, so this research is crucial. This study employs a statutory approach in its normative research methodology. The findings of the local inspectors' study constitute legal discovery (rechtvinding), which judges do in order to verify the evidence and uncover legal facts in order to strengthen their confidence in making conclusions about the criminal cases they are considering. The right of a judge to perform local inspections is facultative and discretionary in nature, meaning that it is not innately binding and has the status of an executor, the execution of which is subject to the judge's discretion.
Start at the Top: Successfully Integrating Information and Communication Technologies in Schools by Training Principals
Authors: IsaBelle Claire , Lapointe Claire
Published: June 2024

This exploratory study aims to evaluate school principals' perceptions of their ability to assist teachers in the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) and on factors that facilitate the integration of technology in the classroom. Correlational analyses show that the more principals use ICTs both for technical and instructional purposes, the easier it is for them to support teachers in the integration of technology. Also, the higher their perception is of their ability to assist teachers in the use of ICTs, the more comfortable they feel in supporting them. It would appear, therefore, that ICTs training for school principals, although still uncommon in university programs, constitutes an important prerequisite to the successful integration of ICTs in schools.
Which Model is Best? Robustness Properties to Justify Model Choice Among Unidimensional IRT Models under Item Parameter Drift
Authors: Rupp André A. , Zumbo Bruno D.
Published: June 2024

This article extends recent research on item parameter drift by investigating the robustness properties of basic unidimensional IRT models. Specifically, the article explores whether it is possible to advocate the consistent choice of one model over another based on its robustness properties under drift. On the one hand, it is shown that the biases that are introduced due to drift are minor for most practically relevant circumstances across all models. On the other hand, it is shown that the mathematical structure of the biases is theoretically complex so that globally superior performance of one model over another is observed only under restrictive side conditions.
Differential Validity and Utility of Successive and Simultaneous Approaches to the Development of Equivalent Achievement Tests in French and English
Authors: Rogers W. Todd , Gierl Mark J. , Tardif Claudette , Lin Jie , Rinaldi Christina
Published: June 2024

Described in this article are the first three activities of a research program designed to assess the differential validity and utility of successive and simultaneous approaches to the development of equivalent achievement tests in the French and English languages. Two teams of multilingual/multicultural French-English teachers used the simultaneous approach to develop 70 items respectively for mathematics and social studies at the grade 9 level. The evidence gained from the pilot study suggests that the issue of differential item performance attributable to translation differences appears to be confounded by the presence of socioeconomic differences between the two groups of students. Consequently, the next activities of this research will be directed toward disentangling these two issues to obtain a clearer view of the efficacy of the simultaneous method in reducing differential group performance and enhancing linguistic and cultural decentering.
Examining Tasks that Facilitate the Experience of Incubation While Problem-Solving
Authors: Both Lilly , Needham Douglas , Wood Eileen
Published: June 2024

The three studies presented here contrasted the problem-solving outcomes of university students when a break was provided or not provided during a problem-solving session. In addition, two studies explored the effect of providing hints (priming) and the placement of hints during the problem-solving session. First, the ability to solve a previously unsolved problem (incubation) was demonstrated. However, the incubation effect was dependent on the placement of the hint and the kind of hint provided. Incubation occurred with challenging word problems (paired-anagrams). Furthermore, the effect was facilitated when a break from study was provided and where a hint directing the student toward a solution was provided during the break. Verbal ability was not related to performance in problem-solving tasks involving paired-anagrams. In general, there are reliable interventions for promoting incubation in problem-solving situations. These interventions include attention to the task demands and the context of study.
Performance Appraisals of School Administrators in One Canadian School District: A Contemporary Model
Authors: Normore Anthony H.
Published: June 2024

Research indicates that a sound performance appraisal process for school administrators contains key mechanisms that manifest themselves through dimensions of effective planning, assessment, and evaluation; effective use of resources; and communicating clear expectations. This article documents the development of a contemporary model of performance appraisal of school administrators in a Canadian school district. It is clearly presented as a guideline for individual educators who are committed to ongoing professional development. It may well serve as a guideline for other school districts where performance appraisal processes are being revisited and revamped for purposes of accountability and school administrators' performance effectiveness.
Extending the Power of the Concept Map
Authors: Passmore Graham J.
Published: June 2024

This pilot study introduces a scale to assess structural knowledge in concept maps. The need to increase our understanding of structural knowledge through improved assessment is made evident in a review of research that indicates that its quality is related to problem-solving abilities. The new scale is derived from Biggs and Collis' (1982) Structure of the Learning Outcome (SOLO) taxonomy and Rumelhart and Norman's (1978) modes of learning (structuring, accretion, and tuning). It is applied to link descriptions in an enhanced concept map structure that has been dubbed the "concept map+." Eight levels link quality can be recognized with the new scale. This builds on the original concept assessment scale of Novak and Gowin (1984) where just three types of link quality were acknowledged.

Authors: Hong Zuway-R , McCarthy Veach Patricia , Lawrenz Frances
Published: June 2024

This study investigated the relationships between psychosocial factors and self-esteem 1,672 Taiwanese senior high school students (779 boys, 893 girls). Students from Kaohsiung City, Taiwan, completed a Chinese version of the Secondary Student Questionnaire (SSQ), which measures self-esteem, depression, anxiety, stereotyped thinking, personality, and satisfaction with nonacademic performance at school. Students were categorized into four groups: (a) high academic achievement/low self-esteem (HALS); (b) high academic achievement/high self-esteem (HAHS); (c) low academic achievement/ low-self esteem (LALS); and (d) low academic achievement/high self-esteem (LAHS). Results showed that two variables, personality/satisfaction and anxiety, were predictive self-esteem for all four groups. Depression was predictive for all groups except low achievement and high self-esteem (LAHS). Research recommendations and educational implications are discussed.
Details Construction of Solid Waste Management Project, Dibrugarh (Assam) Implemented by Assam Urban Infrastructure Investment Program (Funded by Asian Development Bank (ADB)
Authors: Mili Er. Diganta
Published: June 2024

The Dibrugarh Municipal Board (DMB) is responsible for managing solid waste within the municipal limits while the rest of the Dibrugarh Municipal Planning Area (DMPA) is presently not covered. Major sources generating municipal solid wastes in Dibrugarh are the households, commercial establishments, institutions, markets, street sweeping, and construction/demolition activities. No recorded estimations on total waste generation and its characteristics are available with DMB. Crude estimates from DMB indicate solid waste generation in the town and DMPA present generation is estimated to be 60 and 78 metric tons per day (MTD) respectively and this is projected to increase to 82 and 112 MTD respectively in 20 years. The present waste collection frequency is very irregular and inadequate. Wastes are not segregated at source and are a mixture of inert, recyclable and bio-degradable matters. Assam Medical College has the only bio-medical waste treatment facility, with an incinerator of capacity 150 kilograms (kg). DMB provides facility to other health care establishment on chargeable basis. Three tractor tailors and one truck are involved for collection of wastes which are parked within the DMB office premises as there is no garage and repair facility of these vehicles. The DMB has added a cesspool cleaner of 3000 liter capacity. The present disposal site is located at Maizan, Barsuikiya Gaon. The site 6 km away from the city covers 0.5 ha. There is no leachate collection or protection system installed in the existing disposal site. Due to the potential to pollute the adjacent surface water and groundwater table, the APCB has issued a closure notification to this dumpsite.
Validation of Bluff-body Swirling Flame with RANS Turbulent Model and Comparison of the Results with LES Turbulent Model
Authors: Kazancı Orhan Veli , Böke Yakup Erhan
Published: June 2024

The energy required for technological advancement is primarily derived from hydrocarbon combustion, which is a key topic in thermodynamics. The stability of the flame in hydrocarbon combustion is a critical parameter that impacts both burner design and combustion efficiency. Various methods have been employed in the literature to achieve a stable flame, with swirl flow being one technique that enhances combustion performance in engineering applications. This study focuses on the numerical analysis of the SM1 flame from Sydney swirl flames. Initially, the flow incorporating the two-equation Re-Normalization Group (RNG) k-ε and Shear Stress Transport (SST) k-ω turbulence models, along with the chemical reactions of CH4 combustion using the GRI 3.0 reaction mechanism, was modeled and compared with experimental data. Subsequently, the numerical results obtained from the Shear Stress Transport k-ω turbulence model, which demonstrated the best agreement with experimental data, were compared with results from a numerical analysis in the literature using the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) turbulence model. The predictive capabilities of these two turbulence models, along with their behavior in the flow region, were evaluated. The comparison revealed that for stable flames within the Sydney swirl flame family, the Shear Stress Transport k-ω turbulence model, which provides results in a more efficient manner, is sufficient compared to the computationally expensive Large Eddy Simulation turbulence model. This choice is made possible by utilizing a solution algorithm tailored to the flow characteristics and appropriate boundary conditions.

Published: June 2024

The advantageous industry in Hu-Bao-Erdos area is a composite industry including the energy chemical industry, metallurgical and building materials industry, agricultural and livestock products processing industry, equipment manufacturing industry, and strategic emerging industry. Based on panel data from 2011 to 2020, this paper measure and analyze the dynamic coupling synergy between the logistics industry system and the advantageous industries system the logistics industry system, and the five major advantageous industries subsystems. The results show that: in the past 10 years, the development level of the logistics industry is lower than that of the advantageous industry in Hu-Bao-Erdos, which restricts the development of the advantageous industries; the coupling synergy between logistics industry and the five dominant industries tends to be the same basically, and the logistics industry does not carry out deep coupling for a certain advantageous industry; the coupling synergy level between the logistics industry and the advantageous industry changes from being on the verge of imbalance to being mutually worn. It is in phase transition and still has a steady upward trend. In the future, Hu-Bao-Erdos Urban Agglomeration should vigorously develop the regional logistics industry, enhance its support and driving force for the development of regional advantageous industries, and further strengthen the coordination and cooperation between the logistics industry and the advantageous industries to achieve a higher level of coordination.

EVALUATING THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN ESG PRACTICES AND CORPORATE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE IN AMERICA: THE INDUSTRIAL SECTOR
Authors:   University of Craiova, Craiova, Romania, Nițu (Ivan) Loredana-Georgia
Published: June 2024

A comprehensive strategy that incorporates social responsibility, environmental stewardship, and economic viability is needed to achieve sustainability in the industrial sector, a sector that is responsible for almost a quarter of all carbon emissions worldwide. Nowadays, business strategy, risk management, and long-term value creation are deemed to be critically dependent on sustainability factors. The present paper targets to examine the relationship between ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) and CFP (Corporate Financial Performance) for 100 American-listed companies that operate in the Industrial sector from 2018 to 2022. The data used in this study is collected from Thomson Reuters and analyzed using STATA Software. The research reveals a strong association between CFP and ESG as a combined score. When an in-depth analysis is performed regarding the sustainability pillars with separate consideration, a positive relationship was shown between the social and environmental pillar and the financial performance, whereas a weaker link could be determined regarding the governance pillar. As such, American companies need to carefully review ESG investments to avoid bad financial outcomes and gain long-term performance

Authors: Shanmugam K. R. , Odasseril Mathew Koshy
Published: June 2024

India has a goal of achieving a $7 trillion economy in 2030, and subsequently a developed nation status by 2047. While some studies/reports have explored the possibilities of reaching these targets based on assumptions regarding the growth rate, inflation etc., this study is an attempt to forecast the future growth of the Indian economy till 2047-48, using the Markov Switching model and real GDP growth data from 1993-94 to 2022-23, and verify when these goals will be achieved. Since the economic outcomes are highly heterogeneous across the Indian States, and there are indications of divergence in economic growth, it also estimates and predicts the future growth prospects of the top six states to see how much these top states contributes to achieve the targets. The findings suggest that India will achieve the US$ 7 trillion target by 2032-33 and the per capita income level of developed nation by 2046-47, assuming 4.5% inflation and 2% depreciation of exchange rate. Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Gujarat are expected to reach per capita income mark of developed nation by 2037-38, Maharashtra is expected to reach in 2040-41. West Bengal will reach this target by 2047-48, while Uttar Pradesh has to go a long way to reach this ambitious target.

Endopleura uchi is a plant native to the Amazon and its chemical and pharmacological potential has been widely studied. Bertholletia excelsa oilseeds (Brazil nut) are a global highlight, with diverse applications in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Therefore, this work provided premises to assist in the development of cream formulations with dried extract from stem bark of Endopleura uchi and Bertholletia excelsa oil with the ability to inhibit strains of Candida spp. For this, the extract was prepared for 5 minutes in decoction using 10% (w/v). Drying was carried out using fluidized bed equipment. In the development of the formulations, previous physical stability after 24 hours and 30 days was used for evaluation, in addition to biological activity as an antifungal agent. After physicochemical characterization, antioxidant activity was found for dried extract of Endopleura uchi in the ABTS assay with 99.70 ± 0.00% inhibition, and DPPH with 86.30 ± 0.50%. With phytochemical investigation, it was proven that bergenin is the chemical marker for this plant. After this, it was possible to develop cream formulations using different concentrations of the extract and oil. Analyzing stability, F2 cream was selected and evaluated for 4 weeks, maintaining its original macroscopic characteristics. In antifungal activity, the MIC for the dried extract was of the 25 µg/mL for Candida albicans, Candida Krusei and Candida parapsilosis. The same good result occurred for F2 cream with more efficiently in inhibiting Candida non-albicans. The Bertholletia excelsa oil did not harm the antifungal activity.

Published: June 2024

O objetivo é investigar se as refeições em família exercem proteção sobre a ideação suicida entre estudantes de medicina. Foi realizado estudo transversal em uma universidade do sul do Brasil. A população do estudo incluiu 167 estudantes de medicina e foi analisada a relação entre refeições em família e ideação suicida. Entre os participantes do estudo (n=167), 28 referiram ter pensado em tirar a própria vida nos 30 dias que antecederam a entrevista. Sobre a convivência familiar, 83% dos respondentes mora com a família ou retorna para a casa principal, durante as férias, pode-se destacar ainda, que há uma variação entre o conceito de família, compreendido pelos estudantes, onde 56% consideram família, as pessoas com as quais têm laços afetivos e quando relacionada a variável sobre a alimentação 78% realiza ao menos uma refeição ou mais em família por semana, mostrando uma estatística significativa (p<0,006) em relação à Ideação Suicida. A partir da análise considera-se que as refeições em família podem ser consideradas como um fator de proteção se relacionados ao sintoma de Ideação Suicida, isso porque alunos que mantêm uma rotina de alimentação com a família apresentam menor índice de sofrimento.

Published: June 2024

Introdução: A avaliação da capacidade física tornou-se indispensável para a escolha da intervenção mais adequada e monitorização da situação clínica funcional do indivíduo. As alterações nos padrões respiratórios alteram a mecânica pulmonar que desencadeiam uma diminuição na potência diafragmática e bloqueio inspiratório prejudicando a função pulmonar e assim diminuindo a capacidade pulmonar. Objetivo: Verificar há relação entre a hipertonia e a capacidade física, capacidade pulmonar e qualidade de vida de indivíduos acometidos por doença neurológica. Matérias e Métodos: Dos 36 pacientes atendidos no setor de fisioterapia neurológica desta instituição, 17 participaram do estudo, sendo submetidos a avaliação da capacidade pulmonar através dos testes de espirometria, manovacuometria, peak flow, perimetria torácica e avaliação da capacidade física pelos testes TC6’, Hand grip test e avaliação da qualidade de vida por meio do inventário SF-Resultados: Não se observou resultado significantes para capacidade pulmonar.

Os camarões (Crustacea: Decapoda) da coleção zoológica Dr. Joachim Adis, Belém, Pará, Brasil
Authors: Araújo Azenate dos Santos , Gutjahr Ana Lúcia Nunes
Published: June 2024

Os camarões são um dos animais que representam o grupo mais diverso dentro de Crustacea. Assim, coleções zoológicas aferem essa biodiversidade. A Coleção Zoológica Didático-Científica Doutor Joaquim Adis da Universidade do estado do Pará (CZJA-UEPA), possui um acervo com registro de mais de 150.000 exemplares e aproximadamente 14.550 tombados, sendo grande parte composto por insetos, porém detém representantes da Classe Crustacea. Este trabalho teve como objetivo fazer um levantamento da diversidade de camarões, pertencentes ao acervo da CZJA, afim de quantificar o número de espécimes e de espécies presentes na coleção e nas áreas coletadas. Para isso foi feito o levantamento das amostras de camarões da CZJA que posteriormente foram identificados taxonomicamente e tombados no banco de dados da instituição. Foram encontrados 266 pertencentes a três famílias (Palaemonidae (n=251), Euryrhynchidae (n=7) e Alpheidae (n=8), coletados em 10 municípios: Paragominas, Benevides, Marapanim, Santo Antônio do Tauá, Breves, Salinópolis, Santa Isabel, Belém, Cametá e São Caetano de Odivelas, no período de 2005 à 2020. Palaemonidae foi a família mais representada, com 3 gêneros e 13 espécies. Alpheidae foi a que apresentou menor aferimento taxonômico. Os municípios de Paragominas, Benevides e Breves evidenciaram maior diversidade (n=4 espécies cada). Desse modo, percebeu-se que embora as amostras de camarão estejam subamostradas na CZJA, a riqueza de espécies é bastante elevada (n=16), visto que são conhecidas 18 espécies para a região Amazônica. Contudo, há a necessidade da realização de inventários direcionados para grupo, a fim de contribuir para a ampliação do conhecimento sobre esses crustáceos na região.
ON THE INTERACTION OF LEGAL AND ECONOMIC APPROACHES IN THE STUDY OF PROPERTY RELATIONS
Authors: SUKHANOV E.A.
Published: June 2024

The article reveals the negative consequences of a straightforward transfer of economic categories and approaches to civil law. In this case both the variety of legal forms of property relations and their historical ties to di erent legal systems (Continental civil law and Anglo-American common law) are neglected. Thus, the author criticizes the application of the ‘economic analysis of law’ concept, which is based on the economic approach to common law, for legal analysis of Continental legal concepts and ideas, which are alien to it. An observation is made that the scope of this concept is limited to business relations, as the development thereof has brought to life the trend of civil law economization. Conventional and economic nature of the concepts of ‘form of ownership’ and ‘intellectual property’, fallacy of legal de nitions of ‘non-cash money’, ‘uncerti cated securities’, and ‘digital property’, as well as confusion of economic and legal categories in the Anglo-American classi cation of property rights are emphasized. The article concludes that it is necessary to replace economic approaches to civil law with a legal analysis of economy, which makes it possible to legally de ne property relations and exclude unreasonable confusion of economic and legal concepts
DONETSK PROVINCE: ABOUT ORIGINS OF THE FORMATION
Authors: KOCHENKOV I.N.
Published: June 2024

This article deals with the problems of the formation of the predecessor of the modern Donetsk People’s Republic - Donetsk province and traces its incorporation into the RSFSR, and then the transition to the Ukrainian SSR. April 26, 1920 should be recognized as the date of the entry of Donbass into the Russian Soviet Republic, when the RSFSR recognized the decision of the Soviet government on the allocation of the new province borders. Nowadays, archival data allow us to conclude that there is no legal transfer of the Donetsk province of the Ukrainian SSR. At the end of 1920, the territory of Donetsk province was politically recognized by the Bolsheviks as Soviet Ukraine, without observing the constitutional procedure for the region’s withdrawal from the Russian Federation. The Ukrainian SSR received its political recognition as a national republic - the Ukrainian people exercised their right to secede. Donbass emerged on the basis of self-determination of the workers of this region, who fought for independence and Soviet power. The author shows which variants of the borders of the Donetsk province were originally intended and on what principles the inclusion of individual territories in its composition was based.
VICTOR ORBAN: POLITICAL CONSERVATISM AND ANTIMIGRANT RHETORIC
Authors: ANDREEV N.D.
Published: June 2024

This article examines several issues related to Hungary, the personality and management style of its leader Viktor Orban, and the policies pursued by this European country towards migrants and refugees. Hungary is a state whose migration policy over the past years has been at odds with the European mainstream. This is largely due to the views of Orban himself. For him, the issue of migration is central, axial in his worldview. This course is perceived differently: the Hungarian Prime Minister has both supporters and opponents. In the scientific research literature one can also find polar assessments. At the same time, Orban is a significant figure for the study of migrant discourse, and his policies obviously strive to be framed in a new eclectic ideology. The Prime Minister of Hungary continues to pursue his course, maneuvering between various forces and interest groups - potential allies from other states, opponents from the European liberal establishment, his own electorate, and voters of other Hungarian parties.
POLITICAL MENTALIZATION OF THE FRENCH RULING ELITES: A POLITICAL-PSYCHOLOGICAL ESSAY
Authors: RAKITYANSKIY N.M. , TSARITSYNA P.M.
Published: June 2024

The study focuses on the main stages of the historical past of French civilization, in the depths of which the political mentality of the ruling elites was formed. The authors explore the mental and civilizational results of the five-hundred-year Romanization of Gaul. The role of Christian proselytism in the formation of a monotheistic mentality and the political role of the Church of Gaul are revealed. The thesis about the mental heritage of the Roman Empire in the formation of the foundations of the new Christian nation is revealed. As a result of the convergence of Roman culture and barbaric cults, an original mental space was formed, where Catholicism became the state religion of the Frankish Empire. The conclusion is made about the historical and mental-political significance of chivalry not only for France, but also for Europe. Next, the authors turned to the topic of the influence of the Renaissance on the elites, who, having assimilated the mental models of the Italian Renaissance, built their national identity on their basis. In the Renaissance epoch, the centuries-old theologo-political nature of French political power was transformed into a subject-pragmatic system of absolutism. For the first time in the history of Europe, politics was separated from religion. Christian dogmas as the basic mental attitudes of the elites have given way to the sense-generating primacy of secular principles of real politics. During this period, anti-absolutist and anticlerical mental and political attitudes emerged in the elite environment on the soil cultivated by the Renaissance, which determined the course and nature of the revolutionary events of the 18th-19th centuries. During the period of the Consulate and the First Empire, Napoleon I and then his followers pursued a policy of mental reconstruction of the elites. The final two sections talk about the philosophical, theological and scientific heritage of the great intellectuals of France, the power activities of its outstanding rulers, who had a significant impact on the evolution and development of the political mentality of modern French elites.

Artykuł w skrótowy sposób przedstawia wydarzenia leżące u podstaw dzisiejszej polityki klimatycznej. Odkrycia sięgające pierwszej połowy XIX w. i zapoczątkowane przez nie późniejsze badania pozwoliły zwiększyć wiedzę naukowców na temat klimatu. Dzięki temu wzrosła świadomość w zakresie jego zmian, co przełożyło się na szereg podjętych działań. Powstały nowe instytucje koordynujące inicjatywy związane z klimatem, zapoczątkowano także działania polityczno-gospodarcze mające na celu przeciwdziałanie zmianom klimatu poprzez ograniczenie emisji gazów cieplarnianych. Efekty tych działań są jednak niezadowalające.

Authors: Murkowski Radosław
Published: June 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic caused negative effects in many aspects of life, including its impact on demographic events, causing not only an increase in the number of deaths but also a decrease in the number of births or marriages. The aim of the study was an attempt to answer the question of what effects this pandemic had on selected demographic events in Poland. To assess the impact of this epidemic on selected demographic phenomena, methods of time series analysis with seasonality were used. The study found that between 2020 and 2022, there were approximately 200,000 excess deaths due to this pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic period, primarily among people aged 60 years and older. During the same period, there was a decrease in the number of births by around 30,000. In addition there was also a decrease in the number of marriages, which was around 100 000 lower in the period 2020–2022 compared to the 2015–2019 average. In contrast, changes in the number of divorces during this epidemic followed the long-term trend observed between 2015 and 2019, excluding only 2020.
CORPO, MOVIMENTO E DIFERENÇAS: AS CONTRIBUIÇÕES DA EDUCAÇÃO SOMÁTICA NA DANÇA COMO COLABORAÇÃO PARA A ESCOLA PÚBLICA INCLUSIVA
Authors: Souza Suellen da Costa
Published: June 2024

Esse artigo propõe uma reflexão a respeito da Dança enquanto campo de construção de conhecimento e de suas práticas baseadas na educação somática como elemento que poderá contribuir com as práticas de educação inclusiva. Como metodologia optou-se pela análise de material referencial a respeito do corpo, do ensino de Dança na escola, sobre educação somática, diferenças e educação inclusiva. A análise permitiu o entendimento de que o corpo é uma unidade formada por inúmeras camadas, atravessadas por tudo aquilo que o estudante experencia ao longo da vida – dos aspectos orgânicos às conexões socioculturais – que compõem os moveres desse corpo, a partir de suas especificidades e o ensino da Dança na escola pública precisa direcionar sua prática e reflexão primeiramente para um olhar para este corpo, construindo assim as percepções de si e do outro e das diferenças enquanto potências, contribuindo desta forma para a construção de uma escola pública inclusiva.

Published: June 2024

INTRODUÇÃO: O câncer colorretal (CCR) assumiu, em 2023, um status de preocupação pela Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS), emergindo como um desafio em saúde pública, devido ao impacto que exerce na qualidade de vida e bem-estar da população. Estudos destacaram o excesso de peso como um fator de risco significativo para o desenvolvimento de diversos tipos de câncer, enfatizando a relevância dos hábitos alimentares na etiologia da doença. Portanto, a avaliação do índice de massa corporal (IMC) se torna uma ferramenta indispensável para monitorar a saúde nutricional dos pacientes e identificar estratégias preventivas, uma vez que os padrões alimentares influenciam na fisiopatogenia do CCR. OBJETIVO: O trabalho tem como objetivo aprofundar a compreensão da relação entre a alimentação e a incidência do CCR no contexto brasileiro. METODOLOGIA: O estudo se baseia em uma Revisão da Literatura realizada na plataforma PubMed, seguindo as diretrizes do PRISMA e os critérios PECO. RESULTADOS: Embora haja uma escassez de estudos que investiguem diretamente a conexão entre a alimentação e o CCR, a análise dos dados do Ministério da Saúde revela uma correlação notável. Durante o período de 2018 a 2022, observou-se um aumento na incidência de CCR acompanhado do aumento do IMC na população brasileira. CONCLUSÃO: Os resultados sugerem que a relação entre alimentação e CCR merece uma investigação aprofundada, especialmente considerando o aumento do IMC e da incidência da doença após 2020. Essa tendência pode indicar uma correlação significativa e impactante entre esses fatores.

Tides, crucial natural phenomena, significantly impact various aspects of life. Recognizing their importance, this study presents the development of a tidal simulator leveraging Arduino data logging and TDR H3CR technology. The simulator aims to mimic tidal processes, crucial for educational and research purposes. Traditional methods of acquiring tidal data are time-consuming and expensive. Thus, a simulator proves advantageous in reducing research time and costs. At Raja Ali Haji Maritime University, a tidal simulation model exists but with manual operation and limited data capture capabilities. To address these limitations, this study designed a new simulator utilizing H3CR, DC Water Pump, and DC Selenoid Valve for automated tidal circulation. The research method involved system design, component integration, and laboratory experiments. Calibration of components like the ultrasonic sensor HC-SR04 ensured accurate data collection. The overall system experiment validated the simulator's functionality, demonstrating its ability to replicate tidal processes effectively. Results indicated that the simulator produced tidal patterns resembling sinusoidal waves, with slight noise attributed to sensor limitations. The designed simulator serves as an efficient learning tool for understanding tidal phenomena, exhibiting comparable results to natural tidal data. This study contributes to the advancement of tidal simulation technology, offering a cost-effective and accessible solution for educational and research purposes.

This research was conducted to test the reliability of the performance of the OCR-GFR relay whether it complies with the settings or not during field testing and to find out a comparative analysis of the performance of theoretical calculations with the results of field testing using the CMC 356 test equipment. This research uses a descriptive method. This research aims to determine whether the performance of the OCR–GFR relay that is being used is still good performance or suitable for use. And the tests carried out are pick up and drop off tests and characteristic tests. The results of the OCR pick-up and drop-off relay test were 1.2 A and the drop-off was 1.134 A. Meanwhile, for the GFR relay the pickup relay was 0.20 A and the drop-off was 185.0 mA. The results of the pickup and drop-off tests can conclude that the relay works according to its settings. Meanwhile, for field testing, the OCR relay characteristics at 1.5 times the setting current are 3.627 s and the theoretical calculation results are 3.697 s. For the GFR relay, the field test results obtained were 1.5 times the setting current, namely 1.981 s, and the theoretical calculation results were 1.977 s. This means that the test results are close to the calculated values. This shows that the Micom P142 OCR/GFR Relay tested is still in good performance.
