Authors: Azeez Sundus , Shareef Muntadher , Omer Fawzi
Published: November 2024

Determining the urbanization and sustainable development rate in Kirkuk City and Taza District (a town located in a suburb of Kirkuk) requires an evaluation of its ecological environment quality (EEQ). This study aims to determine the ecological index (El) and assess it using the popular pressure-state-response (PSR) method based on a set of statistical and remote sensing indicators. The indicators developed by remote sensing data were obtained using Sentinel-2 satellite images to measure the quality of the environment. As new and modern technical assistance for long-term, comprehensive mapping, monitoring through GIS techniques, and the comparison of the Ecological Index in 2023 of the spring and autumn seasons, these indicators provide a basis for decision-making related to sustainable development. It demonstrates the primary relationship between human activity and health under various weather circumstances and contrasts them. It also reveals that the ecological situation is healthier in spring than in autumn (these two seasons are considered transmission periods) due to meteorological conditions, social activities, and economic activity.

The main problem in increasing the level of student satisfaction in UKM activities at STIKOM CKI is caused by various factors, including the rare frequency of meetings and the multiplication of material without significant development. This dissatisfaction can reduce students' interest in actively participating in UKM activities, which should be a source of positive experiences and skills development. Well-managed SME activities can be an important means of developing soft skills such as leadership, team collaboration and communication skills. However, when these activities are not managed well, the results can be counterproductive, causing frustration and dissatisfaction among students. Based on these problems, an application of the Naive Bayes algorithm will be carried out to determine the satisfaction level of STIKOM CKI students with 80 training data and 6 test data. After calculating, an accuracy rate of 83.33%, recall of 33.33%, and precision are obtained. 100%. Therefore, it is important to manage student satisfaction levels to avoid being counterproductive. One of the appropriate data mining algorithms to solve the case above is to use the Naive Bayes algorithm.

Authors: Н.Ю. Борисов
Published: November 2024

Материальное положение приходского духовенства — один из ключевых вопросов, которые стоят перед исследователями синодального периода истории Русской Православной Церкви. В данном случае речь идёт о множестве аспектов, одним из которых является проблема пенсионного обеспечения приходского духовенства. Следует отметить, что оно являлось одним из вопросов, решение которого со стороны государства не могло удовлетворить священно и церковнослужителей. Поэтому многие из них пытались обеспечить как своё будущее, так и будущее своих семей в случае смерти: так появлялись эмеритальные кассы или кассы взаимопомощи. Подобное начинание поддерживалось и продвигалось правящими архиереями в различных епархиях. В данной статье рассматривается деятельность эмеритальной кассы духовенства Черниговской епархии в период с момента её учреждения до 1917 г.

The financial situation of parish clergy is a key issue facing researchers of the synodal period in the Russian Orthodox Church history. It concerns many aspects, one of which is the problem of pensions for parish clergy. It should be noted that the solution of the issue by the state could not satisfy the clergy. Therefore, many of them tried to ensure both their future and the future of their families in the event of death: this is how insurance funds or mutual aid funds appeared. Such an undertaking was supported and promoted by ruling bishops in various dioceses. This article examines the activities of the insurance fund of the Chernigov diocese clergy in the period from its establishment to 1917.
Отражение общественно-политических событий в церковно-певческой культуре в начале XX в. по материалам «Русской музыкальной газеты»
Authors: А.П. Сологуб
Published: November 2024

С первых номеров «Русской музыкальной газеты» 1904 г. обращают на себя внимание публикации или новостная лента, в содержании которых подчеркивается соотнесенность того или иного события в области церковно-певческого искусства с общественно-политическим контекстом того периода. Посвящения «в пользу Красного креста», для «усиления военного флота», «в пользу раненых на Дальнем Востоке» и пр. свидетельствуют об активной сопричастности общества, в том числе и церковных общин, известным событиям Русско-японской войны 1904 г. Такие инициативы представителей церковных структур на примере церковно-музыкальной культуры лишь свидетельствуют о тесной соотнесенности церковно-общественных интересов дореволюционного периода.

Since the first issues of the “Russian Musical Newspaper” in 1904, attention has been drawn to publications or news feeds, the content of which emphasizes the correlation of this or that event in the field of Church singing art with the socio-political context of that period. Dedications “in favor of the Red Cross”, for “strengthening the navy”, “in favor of the wounded in the Far East”, etc. testify to active involvement of society, including Church communities, in well-known events of the 1904 Russian-Japanese War. Such initiatives of the Church structures representatives, by the example of Church music culture, only testify to close correlation of Church and public interests of the pre-revolutionary period.
«Скифский Ахилл» Льва Диакона: к вопросу об эволюции мифа
Authors: А.Ю. Митрофанов
Published: November 2024

В статье с привлечением большого корпуса источников и литературы рассматривается в широком историческом контексте повествование византийского историка X в. Льва Диакона, посвященное противостоянию ромеев и росов в 970 г. Разбираемый в статье отрывок содержит упоминания персонажей Гомера и Геродота, при этом важное место в анализируемом тексте занимает миф о скифском Ахилле. Как результат, в центре внимания исследовательского интереса оказываются реальные религиозные практики восточных славян второй половины X в., включающие в том числе и ритуальные жертвоприношения. Боспорский культ Ахилла и скифская традиция почитания Ахилла как божества в Северном Причерноморье подробно исследованы в современных работах. Античное религиозное содержание и значение образа скифского Ахилла было известно Льву Диакону, утверждавшему, что Ахилл научил скифов языческим обрядам и жертвоприношениям. Отдельное внимание в статье уделено рецепции «Истории» Льва Диакона в начале XIX в. в Российской империи, когда этот труд византийского историка был впервые издан в 1819 г.

The article, using a large corpus of sources and literature, examines in a broad historical context the narrative by Leo the Deacon, the 10th century Byzantine historian, dedicated to the 970 confrontation between the Romans and the Russians. The passage analyzed in the article contains references to the characters of Homer and Herodotus, while the Scythian Achilles myth occupies an important place in the analyzed text. As a result, the focus of research interest is on the mid-late 10th century Eastern Slavs’ real religious practices, including ritual sacrifices. The Bosporan cult of Achilles and the Scythian tradition of venerating Achilles as a deity in the Northern Black Sea region have been studied in detail in modern works. The ancient religious content and meaning of the Scythian Achilles image was known to Leo the Deacon, who claimed that Achilles had taught the Scythians pagan rites and sacrifices. Special attention is paid to the reception of the “History” by Leo the Deacon in the early 19th century Russian Empire, when this work by the Byzantine historian was first published in 1819.

Conclusões: A betaína pode ser considerada um potencial recurso ergogénico para melhorar a fadiga muscular, proporcionar um maior número de repetições nos exercícios e eliminar o lactato sanguíneo.
Averting bankruptcies among the software development houses in Lahore, Pakistan
Authors: Khan Khalid Mumtaz , Mahmood Zahid
Published: November 2024

Pakistan, as the 4th largest technological market globally, is home to over 2000 registered software development houses. However, the industry is not without its challenges, and hundreds of these houses close yearly owing to insolvency, and even more crop up. To understand the financial difficulties these houses face, a sample of 20 small-size and 20 medium-sized software houses has been taken from the hundreds in Arfa Software Technology Park in Lahore, Pakistan. Financial Blueprints of 2 projects per house per year for five years, i.e., 2018-2022, have been obtained. These case studies have been contrasted with those written and published in the developed world. It is found that there is a dearth of costing and pricing mechanisms in software-related projects. This results in under/over-costing the cost and pricing of the projects, which is a leading cause of financial bankruptcy for most software houses. It is proposed that activity-based costing, as the costing technique, and competitive pricing, as the pricing mechanism, may be adopted as the best practice in the software development industry. These solutions, if implemented, could significantly reduce the risk of financial bankruptcy among software houses, potentially transforming the industry's financial landscape.

INTELIGÊNCIA ARTIFICIAL, ADMINISTRAÇÃO TRIBUTÁRIA E EFEITOS NA RELAÇÃO ENTRE O FISCO E OS CONTRIBUINTES
Authors: Da Silva Fonseca Tiago
Published: November 2024

The text discusses how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming various areas of society. In the public sphere, AI is used to perform repetitive tasks, improve decision-making, and increase the effectiveness of public policies through the analysis of large volumes of data in real time. In law, AI automates procedural acts and provides statistical analyses for lawyers and parties, aiding in the selection of procedural strategies. AI also brings challenges and requires adaptations in Public Administration and legal practice, such as the need to balance technology application with the protection of individual and collective rights. In the realm of Tax Administration, AI is used to modernize inspection and collection processes, detect fraud, and optimize taxpayer services, contributing to a significant increase in revenue collection. Despite the great opportunities for innovation and efficiency that AI presents, the use of intelligent systems in tax inspection and collection activities requires careful implementation to ensure respect for taxpayers' rights and constitutional limitations on the power to tax.

Published: November 2024

Este artículo explora el campo del neuromarketing, un enfoque interdisciplinario que combina neurociencia y marketing para comprender cómo los estímulos afectan el cerebro y, en última instancia, las decisiones de compra de los consumidores. El objetivo principal es analizar la influencia del neuromarketing en la toma de decisiones del consumidor mediante una revisión documental exhaustiva. El método utilizado fue una revisión sistemática y descriptiva de la literatura, en la cual se revisaron y analizaron los 75 documentos más relevantes encontrados en el proceso de búsqueda, entre los cuales estaban artículos científicos, estudios empíricos, revisiones teóricas, casos de estudio y debates éticos. La información fue organizada en categorías clave como técnicas de neuromarketing, respuestas neuronales y consideraciones éticas. Los resultados indican que las técnicas como la resonancia magnética funcional (fMRI) y la electroencefalografía (EEG) son efectivas para capturar respuestas emocionales y cognitivas que no son accesibles a través de métodos convencionales. Además, se encontró que estas técnicas pueden mejorar significativamente la efectividad de las estrategias de marketing al permitir una segmentación y personalización más precisa. Sin embargo, el estudio también subraya la necesidad de abordar las implicaciones éticas del neuromarketing, especialmente en términos de privacidad mental y manipulación del comportamiento. En conclusión, el neuromarketing representa una herramienta poderosa para el marketing moderno, pero requiere un enfoque ético para proteger a los consumidores.

For centuries, plants have been integral to traditional medicine, food preservation, and disease prevention. Chrozophora rottleri (Geiseler) A. Juss. ex Spreng., an annual herb of the Euphorbiaceae family, is widely used across India, Myanmar, Thailand, the Andaman Islands, and Malesia in various ethnomedicinal applications. This study aims to provide a comprehensive phytochemical profile and HPTLC analysis of Chrozophora rottleri leaves to highlight its medicinal potential. The leaves were subjected to hot continuous extraction using a Soxhlet apparatus with solvents of increasing polarity to maximize the yield of bioactive compounds. Phytochemical screening identified the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, glycosides, triterpenoids, phenols, steroids, coumarins, cardiac glycosides, and phytosterols in different extracts. Quantitative analysis revealed that alkaloids were most abundant in chloroform and ethanol extracts (500 mg/g), while flavonoids were prominent in ethyl acetate and ethanol extracts (200 mg/g). Phenols and tannins were concentrated in ethyl acetate and aqueous extracts (200 mg/g). The HPTLC analysis displayed distinct separation of phytochemical bands at varying retention factor (Rf) values, using toluene: ethyl acetate (9:1 v/v) at 254 nm and a combination of ethyl acetate: water: formic acid: glacial acetic acid (100:26:11:11 v/v/v/v) at 366 nm and 540 nm. Chromatograms revealed multiple peaks, signifying a rich diversity of bioactive compounds. These findings support the traditional uses of Chrozophora rottleri and underscore its potential for further pharmacological research. The research concluded that the leaf extract of Chrozophora rottleri is abundant in various phytochemicals, potentially contributing to its therapeutic properties. Further investigation into its individual phytochemical profile is recommended for isolating novel compounds. High-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) fingerprint analysis of Chrozophora rottleri leaf extract could serve as a reliable method for precise plant identification, acting as both a phytochemical marker and a valuable indicator of genetic variability within plant populations.

Brachiaria is a newly introduced forage grass in Kenya and other countries that has potential for improving livestock productivity but there is limited availability of seed this has become a major constraint. Pastures in western Kenya faces both pathological and physiological problems associated with both biotic and abiotic factors that leads to poor livestock production especially in the dairy industry. This research study focused on evaluating disease tolerance and growth potential of selected Brachiaria cultivars Xaraes (Xaraes palisade), Piata (Piatã palisade), MG4 in the selected agro-ecological zones of Western Region, Kenya. Mulato II grass was included as a control. The experiment was replicated three times at two different agro-ecological zones namely KALRO Kakamega LM2 and KALRO Alupe, Busia LM1 agro ecological zones therefore this study was a 2×3×5 factorial laid in a split plot. Root splits used as planting material were sourced from KALRO Kakamega farm. Phosphate fertilizer at the rate 40 kg/ha P2O5 were used at planting and the crop was top dressed with Nitrogen fertilizer at the rate 100 kg/ha N.  Data collected included number of tillers, plant height at different stages, light interception, leaf area index and diseases incidence on the seeds. In LM1 Mulatto II had the highest height and Basilisks had the lowest height and vice versa for LM2. In both agro-ecological zones Basilisks had the highest number of tillers. In terms of disease establishment, in LM2 (KALRO-Kakamega); Basilisks was the most affected cultivar by both false smut and ergot diseases at 58% and 69.33% incidences respectively. MG4 had the least ergot incidence at 41%, while Xaraes had the least incidence for false smut at 32%. In LM 1 (Alupe Busia), no cultivar exhibited disease. Most cultivars intercepted light higher in LM2 and lower in LM1. Mulatto II and Xaraes had the highest and lowest light interception respectively in LM1 (Alupe Busia), while Basilisks and Xaraes had the highest and lowest interceptions respectively in LM2 (KALRO-Kakamega). The trends were the same in terms of LAI though MG4 had the lowest LAI in LM1. Through this study Basilisks, Xaraes, Mulatto II and Piata were moderately tolerant to ergot disease while MG4 was highly tolerant. Basilisks and MG4 were moderately tolerant to false smut disease while Xaraes had high tolerance levels This research serves as a baseline for future research on Brachiaria forage yield and provide knowledge-based information on production of high quality Brachiaria seeds with the view of enhancing their availability scaling-up Brachiaria forage production to enhance dairy productivity in smallholder farm.
A Study of Bases, Continuity and Homeomorphism in Hausdorff Topology

Published: November 2024

This paper surveys the essential concepts of bases, continuity, and homeomorphism within the context of Hausdorff topology. We examine the characterization of Hausdorff spaces through various types of bases, including minimal generative bases, which serve to illuminate the intrinsic properties of these spaces. The interplay between bases and morphisms is explored, emphasizing how morphisms facilitate continuity of mappings between Hausdorff spaces and their quotient images. We investigate the implications of these relationships for determining homeomorphisms, establishing conditions under which two Hausdorff spaces can be deemed equivalent. Key results include the construction of quotient images using equivalence relations, as well as criteria for continuity and homeomorphism that are uniquely suited to Hausdorff spaces. The findings on bases also demonstrate that a topological space X is Hausdorff if and only if there exists a minimal generative base BM for X such that for any Subfamily B′M of BM that is also a base for X, every element of BM can be expressed as a union of elements from B′M . This result provides an important tool for studying the properties of Hausdorff spaces and their relationships with other topological spaces.
