Hvordan skaper personalet i barnehagen vilkår for barns fellesskap og tilhørighet?
Authors: Fugelsnes Kristin
Published: November 2022

Denne studiens formål er å se på hvordan personalet i barnehagen tilrettelegger for barns mulighet til å erfare fellesskap og tilhørighet. Datagrunnlaget er videoobservasjoner av ansatt–barn-interaksjoner. Et mønster som fremtrer er at barnehagepersonalet ofte organiserer aktiviteter som har til hensikt å være inkluderende for barn. I lek og ulike hverdagsaktiviteter skaper barnehagepersonalet vilkår for barns fellesskap og tilhørighet gjennom å være sammen om noe. Personalet legger til rette for barns mulighet til å erfare fellesskap og tilhørighet i organiserte aktiviteter der barna har et felles utgangspunkt, ved å skape et miljø der barna og deres aktiviteter er attraktive for andre barn og ved direkte å oppfordre barn til å inkludere andre barn. Barnehagepersonalet legger også til rette for barns mulighet til å erfare fellesskap og tilhørighet gjennom å vie tid til inkluderende barnefellesskap. Situasjonene i barnehagene er forskjellige når det gjelder hvor lett det er for barn å delta. Situasjonene er også ulike med tanke på hvilken kompetanse som kreves av barna for å bli inkludert. I de fleste situasjoner finnes det likevel muligheter for å kunne inkludere barn som ønsker å bli inkludert. Gjennom refleksjon og ved å arbeide med tilhørighet kan barnehageansatte bli bevisste på hvordan slike muligheter kan skapes og utnyttes.
AbstractHow do kindergarten staff members create conditions for children’s community and belonging?The purpose of this study is to examine how kindergarten staff members facilitate opportunities for children to experience community and belonging. The dataset consists of video observations of staff-child interactions. A pattern emerges that demonstrates how kindergarten staff often organise activities designed to include children. During a variety of free play and activities, the staff members create the conditions for children’s community and belonging through being together about something. Kindergarten staff members’ promotion of children’s experience of community and belonging takes place in various everyday activities. For example, they encourage organised activities with a common starting point, by creating an environment in which the children and their activities are attractive to other children and by directly encouraging children to include others. Time is also devoted to children’s communities. The situations in each kindergarten differ in terms of how easy it is for children to participate and also in terms of what competencies are required to be included. Most situations, however, provide an «opportunity space» for children who desire inclusion. Working with belonging can help kindergarten staff become aware of such spaces and how to create and implement them.

Konstruksi gender dalam problematika childfree di sosial media Twitter
Authors: Mingkase Nursyamsiah , Rohmaniyah Inayah
Published: November 2022

Women's roles and feminine identities have historically and traditionally been built around motherhood. However, in recent years there has been a growing trend of childfree (without children) educating people about not parenting as a legitimate life choice through qualitative methods with virtual ethnographic studies. Analyzing Twitter tweets using the social construction theory of Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann through a gender perspective, this paper aims to review gender construction in childfree problems where this choice is still considered taboo in the public sphere. Being Childfree allows having a positive identity oneself as an autonomous, rational, and responsible decision-maker. At the same time, rejecting that choice allows someone who cannot choose child-free (for various reasons) to have a flawless identity regarding deviations from the norm of parenthood. Although childfree is still only known in Indonesia as a whole or a broader context, childfree has been practiced by several people in a private space. However, this choice is against the culture of society where the family is considered an essential component in the life cycle; many do not feel the need or do not dare to speak up. Not only non-natural differences, gender construction that places women's nature at the biological level is also problematic. The nature of women who have a uterus is required to function correctly so that child-free decisions are considered deviant and abnormal.

Published: November 2022

Реализуемые в нашей стране уже около четырех лет национальные проекты 2019-2024 по своей сути призваны сконцентрировать ресурсы на достижении ряда важных социально-экономических задач. Формат нацпроектов в частности обоснован тем, что решение многих системных проблем в обычном режиме может быть затруднено коррупционными рисками. Такие риски могут возникнуть практически во всех крупных проектах, и сами нацпроекты не являются исключением. Поэтому важной и актуальной задачей является проведение оценки эффективности применяемых сегодня антикоррупционных мер. В частности, анализ следует начать с изучения прошлого опыта исполнения приоритетных национальных проектов (ПНП) 2006-2018. Помимо обсуждения прошлой и текущей ситуации, в статье также сформулированы предложения и о некоторых возможных будущих перспективах развития работы в данном направлении, в том числе с учетом международных программ и практик.

Consıderatıon of ındıvıdual characterıstıcs of students as an ımportant factor of pedagogıcal support
Authors: Talıbova Dilshad
Published: November 2022

The main purpose of pedagogical support is to achieve the development of students. Since each student has his / her own individual characteristics, these features should be taken into account in the provision of pedagogical support. Taking into account individual characteristics increases the effectiveness of teacher assistance and pedagogical support. Therefore, the individual skills, abilities and other characteristics of students should be studied and taken into account by the teacher. The article highlights these issues, analyzes the existing shortcomings and comments on the methodology of work in this direction. The learning process should be focused on the education of children, and buyoramne materials should be used for their development. At the same time, they need pedagogical support for what, where, when and in what way to give them. In our opinion, in-depth study of students is important for pedagogical support to be effective and not to remain just a help for the sake of break. Practice shows that the child is able to better master and perceive the pedagogical support, the pedagogical influence that is made on him/her so that all the effects were made taking into account his/her individual characteristics. The influence can correspond his /her desires, interests and inclinations, as well as penetrate his/her inner world. It is obvious that this can happen only if the teacher is well aware of the individual characteristics of children, all the psychological features of their personality, temperament, character, memory features, level of skills and abilities, potential. In this regard, one of the main aspects to be considered during pedagogical support is to achieve the development of individuality in children, including students. Pedagogical support is more effective and result-oriented if it is not one-sided, but covers many areas. The student's mental and physical health, various skills and abilities, opportunities for self-determination and self-realization must be the object of pedagogical support, and the teacher must be able to provide pedagogical support for their development.

Authors: Shahhuseynbekova Nigar
Published: November 2022

The state strategy of the Republic of Azerbaijan in the field of education provides for the implementation of measures to protect and strengthen children’s physical and mental health, their socialization and the harmonious development of the individual. Despite this, the state of health of modern schoolchildren is of extreme concern, since there is a steady unfavourable trend associated with the intensification of school workload, limitation of physical activity, the introduction of digital technologies in the educational process, and insufficient pedagogical competence of teachers and parents. Taking into account the above problems, in 2014 the Ministry of Education of Azerbaijan launched the Healthy Education – Healthy Nation project, within which health-saving technologies are being introduced. The main goals of the project are to create conditions for physical development and prevention of school diseases; productive socio-psychological environment, integrative form of education, conditions for successful socialization of schoolchildren. During the school year, specialists conduct constant monitoring and diagnostics of students, organize social events that contribute to the formation of a healthy lifestyle and social skills, as well as the work to improve the pedagogical culture of parents. The aim of the project is to develop healthy educational technologies that serve to protect the physical and mental health of children and adolescents; to apply healthy educational technologies (classroom design and equipment, ensuring children's physical activity, medical and psychological control over their development, use of integrative and problem-based learning methodology), to assess advantages and gaps and to improve them; to contribute to the creation of a learning environment that will ensure the formation of national moral values in children and adolescents. The purpose of our study is a comparative assessment of the health and socio-psychological state of students in the "Healthy Education" classes with students of traditional classes, as well as an assessment of their school motivation.
Investigation related to teachers’ attitude towards inclusive education
Authors: Gnezdilova Kira , Bondar Tamara
Published: November 2022

The article substantiates the impact that teachers have when the state policy meant to reform and / or modernize education is being implemented, Consequently, it is of great importance for the policymakers to understand preservice and in-service primary (elementary) teachers’ attitude to educational reforms. Today, general secondary education schools need to create an inclusive educational environment that is safe for all students, regardless of the severity of their disability. It is extremely important to prevent the social isolation of children with special educational needs (SEN); to promote the realization of educational potential during the implementation of the individual curriculum and other functions regulated in the teacher’s job descriptions. So, it is necessary to investigate teachers’ attitude towards inclusive education as an innovative paradigm that reforms teaching and learning in modern schools. The article analyses published research findings that Ukrainian researchers who explore the topic of teachers’ attitudes towards inclusive education (see the website of the Vernadsky National Library). It is concluded that researchers in Ukraine are unlikely to have investigated questionnaires that help to identify teachers’ attitude and concerns about inclusion. The authors presented research findings of foreign researchers, who describe approaches to studying the features of teachers’ attitudes to inclusive education, methods and steps in collecting and processing information. The term «attitude» is clarified, its component structure, which serves as a basis for the development of questionnaire, is explained. The factors that form the positive and negative attitude of teachers towards inclusion of children with special educational needs in the general secondary education setting are highlighted. The further study is likely to investigate preservice and in-service primary school teachers’ attitude towards inclusive education using questionnaires developed by American and British researchers and adapted to the peculiarities of education in Ukraine.

Authors: Atroshchenko Tetiana , Bondar Tamara
Published: November 2022

The article describes the activities that leading European and Ukrainian piano schools provide. The focus is on the basic methodological principles that underpin teaching in such institutions. Some peculiarities related to the ways how regional piano schools were organized in Ukraine are analyzed. The significant influence of the Viennese school on the development of pianism is stated. The peculiarities that characterize M. Clementi’s practices, who represented the London school as well as teaching practice of the representatives of the French piano school are described. The emphasis is placed on the methodological achievements of pianists in piano schools according to epochs. The importance of piano techniques and its impact on training a professional pianist is studied. The classification of piano techniques according to three types has been clarified. They are as follows: classical techniques, which are characterized by small finger technique, with an active finger stroke, maximum accuracy of finger movement from the «bone» and free hand on the wrist; romantic techniques, which involve the development of sensations in finger pads, using the weight of the whole hand – its complete release, «legato» connected and melodious finger; expressionist techniques, in which the technique of the shoulder girdle is important, combining the techniques of the first two types with the addition of pianist’s own techniques, where there is a noticeable support at the bottom of the key with a slightly fixed hand. There are two types of piano techniques that are small and large. Textured layouts are typical of small techniques: scales, positional groups, decorations (melismata), warbles, repetitions, all kinds of arpeggios, various figurations, and double thirds. Large techniques include chords, octaves (including broken ones) and other double notes (quintuplets, sextuplets), tremolo, and leaps (skips). The main directions in the Ukrainian piano school development are outlined. They are: democratic principles and their observance; comprehensive development of personality; application of a creative approach to the personal development of students; combination of achievements of national and world artistic culture; the use of national musical heritage; influence of different arts on the personality development; manifestation of students’ creative potential in learning, development of musical perception and mastering of historical and theoretical knowledge; promotion of national and world artistic culture.

The Influence of Sports Leisure Activities on the Level of Moral Competence of High School Students
Authors: Lukáč Pavol , Tamášová Viola
Published: November 2022

Introduction:
In the relationship between sports morality and the morality of everyday life, there are no relevant studies and researches to clearly demonstrate the direct connections between sports and moral behaviour. The aim of this study is to find out if there is a significant difference in the achieved level of moral competence of secondary school students - between those who engage in sports in their free time and those who do not engage in sports activities.

Methods:
Quantitative research methods were used in the research, and for the purposes of expressing the level of moral competence of secondary school students, we used Moral Judgment Test (MJT). The MJT test expresses an individual’s moral competence through the C-score. 181 pupils of various grades studying at secondary school took part in the research. To verify the normality of the distribution of the C-score variable, we used the Shapiro - Wilk test, and for hypothesis testing, we used the two- sample T-test to test the mean value at known mean values of the distribution. Significance levels are set at p value <0.05.

Results:
The results of the test of significant differences for individual grades of secondary school are interpreted as the results of the analysis of the impact of sports activities on the level of moral competence. Sports leisure activities have an impact on the level of moral competence of students in the 4th grade.

Discussion:
The research confirmed that sports leisure activities contribute to a higher level of moral competence measured by the MJT test and expressed by the C-score value as the age of the pupils increases.

Limitations:
The research was limited to students of one secondary school.

Conclusions:
The result of the research, based on statistical testing, was the finding that leisure sports activities have an impact on the level of moral competence in upper secondary school grades.
One and Done, or a Bundle and Stumble? An Exploration of Assessment Methods in Undergraduate Science Curricula
Authors: Edwards Shelley
Published: November 2022

Introduction:
Assessment, historically, has been done in a summative manner in post-secondary education (HE). Whilst useful for the purposes of grading and assessment of competency, there is also increasing pressure from post-secondary education institutions to meet certain standards in terms of education quality and graduate numbers, putting pressure on teachers to produce evidence of students’ level of understanding and thus putting a greater emphasis on the use of summative assessments. The formative assessment approach for student learning is preferable in some fields, but how useful is this format for the science subjects?

Purpose:
To discuss the utility of either summative assessments or formative assessments (or both) in science teaching at university level.

Methods:
Exploration of the literature involving teaching science in university undergraduate courses (i.e., no formal search criteria).

Conclusions:
A new category of assessment is needed - the integration of formative and summative assessment.
Literature Review of Studies about Violence at School and Recommendations for Teachers
Authors: Karakuş Gülçin
Published: November 2022

Introduction:
Violence is a very complex and particular concept and it is difficult to make a precise definition, since acceptable and unacceptable behaviour patterns for each society vary according to social norms, time and value judgments of what harms that society. School violence results in students’ loss of concentration, poor academic success, bunking of courses, and depression. Violence is a global problem, solution depends on an integrated approach in which educators, parents and learners work together. Considering negative consequences of violence, reduction or even prevention of violence at school will not only increase quality of education and training, but also support education process to become more productive. The aim of this review is to examine studies on school violence in literature, to determine causes of violence at school and present suggestions for solutions. This type of study may also have the potential to shed light on future work on violence in schools. For this reason, the purpose of this study is to examine the studies on violence at school and to present a review on violence prevention.

Purpose:
The aim of this study is to examine the studies on violence at school in the literature and to compile the measures that can be taken to reduce violence in line with the recommendations stated in these studies. Violence is defined psychologically or physiologically as the unintentional negative action or force.

Methods:
Considering the criteria of the study as a result of the preliminary examination, 66 articles were excluded and 42 articles were included in the study. Content analysis method was used to analyse the studies. First of all, data were coded and themes were formed. In order to confirm themes and codes researcher and a co-observer studied together.

Conclusions:
As a result of the evaluation of studies on violence at school, the themes of gender inequality, personal factors, school organization and evaluation were reached. In studies conducted to prevent violence in the educational environment, it is stated that it is important to listen to students, to value students, to understand them, to provide a democratic environment in the school, to take measures in accordance with the different dynamics that direct the school, and to establish a strong bond between the school and the society and stakeholders. Suggestions of studies to prevent violence at school are explained in the themes of understanding, teachers’ dedication, acting together, collecting, recording data, early intervention, teacher training programs, positive school environment, improving students’ personal skills.

Generic motor abilities and anthropometrics are poorly related to futsal-specific agility performance; multiple regression analysis in professional players
Authors: Sekulic Damir , Zeljko Ivan , Pehar Miran , Corluka Marin , Versic Sime , Pocek Suncica , Drid Patrik , Modric Toni
Published: November 2022

Study aim: This study aimed to evaluate predictors of futsal-specific change-of-direction speed and futsal-specific reactive agility in professional male futsal players.

Material and methods: The players (n=75) studied were members of seven futsal teams that competed at the highest national level in Croatia and in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The predictors in this study included measures of generic power, speed, agility, and anthropometrics. The univariate and multivariate relationships among the predictors and the criteria (futsal-specific change-of-direction speed and futsal-specific reactive agility) were assessed by using Pearson’s correlations and multiple regression analysis, respectively.

Results: The predictors were poorly related to the different facets of agility (all trivial to moderate correlations). Multiple regression models were not successfully cross-validated for any of the types of agility performance.

Conclusion: Generic power, speed, agility, and anthropometrics are not valid predictors of futsal-specific change-of-direction speed and futsal-specific reactive agility. As these futsal performances were used to mimic real-game situations in futsal, these findings suggest that superiority in generic motor abilities and anthropometrics may not have a significant effect on performance in futsal matches.
Beyond Sustainability: Positioning Regenerative Futures in a Philippine State University
Authors: Ponce Roy G. , Villegas Jhonnel P.
Published: November 2022

This paper presents the conceptual framework for positioning a government-funded higher education institution (HEI)in the Philippines as a regenerative university. It grounds the notion that academia should rethink and redefine Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through regenerative development and futures thinking. While Davao Oriental is home to a rich biological, social, and cultural heritage, this paper outlines how an academic institution can contribute to its protection, conservation, management, and regeneration. The end goal is to mainstream regenerative futures in the university’s four-fold functions: instruction, research, extension, and production. Consequently, the paradigm shift aims to influence local communities to engage in a shared regenerative future that would equally benefit the environment and human societies.

Published: November 2022

The high prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) necessitates acquiring early detection tools that can lead to appropriate interventions for children and assist children in performing as many life functions as possible. In addition, early detection tools for ASD can realize quality early childhood development. This study aims to review various types of assessments for early detection of ASD in children using the literature review method. The following articles are from the website https://eric.ed.gov/ as search engine for scientific articles. Using the keywords “autism spectrum disorder assessment tools” and “early detection for autism,” then peer-reviewed only and year filters since 2018, 2,829 articles were found. Then from the identified articles, they are re-elected based on title, abstract, and time of publication to produce 16 articles whose early detection tool was tested on more than 50 participants and began at the earliest possible age. The results show that various screening and diagnostic tools for ASD prioritize areas such as social communication, behavioral problems, emotional problems, sensory regulatory issues, and engagement issues. The instrument’s limitations, which include an expensive price, a lengthy process, the need for expert involvement, and cultural differences, create a growing gap that must be bridged immediately.

Published: November 2022

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of in-service education designed to improve early childhood teachers’ environmental awareness, knowledge, attitudes and their skills on integrating environmental issues in their teaching. Thirty early childhood teachers in the treatment group and Thirty in the control group participated the study. Teachers in the control group did not attain in-service education. Teachers responded to the Environmental Problems Attitude Scale (EPAS) before and after the in-service education. After the education process, teachers in the treatment group provided qualitative data about the impact of this education. For the treatment group the Mann-Whitney U test revealed a significant increase from pretest to posttest. Mann-Whitney U did not indicate a significant increase for the control group. Three major themes derived from qualitative data. These are an increase in environmental awareness, an increase in individual responsibility and taking action, as well as increased motivation and being better equippedfor environmental education.

Published: November 2022

The aim of the study is to identify the entrepreneurial tendencies of primary school fourth grade students. The study was designed using the survey research model, which is one of the quantitative research methods. The participants of the study are 505 students attending the fourth grade of a primary school affiliated to the Ministry of National Education in the province of Izmir, located in the western region of Turkey, during the 2020–2021 school year. The Personal Information Form developed by the authors and the Entrepreneurial Tendency Inventory for Children (ÇGEE) developed by Yurtseven and Ergün (2018) were used to collect the data of the study. The data obtained were analyzed using the statistical package program. The findings of the study indicate that while a significant difference is found in all of the entrepreneurship tendencies inventory factors in terms of gender, a significant difference is found only in the innovativeness factor based on the number of siblings. Based on the social activities that the students participated in, it is found that there is a significant difference for the students who deal with dancing. While no significant difference was found based on the mothers’ educational background, a significant difference was found in the success and problem-solving factors based on the fathers’ educational background.
Need the Concept of ‘Personal Worldview’ be Replaced or Just Elaborated?
Authors: Miedema Siebren
Published: November 2022

The concept of ‘worldview’ is widely used today in education and religious education, including the sub-concepts of ‘personal worldview’ and ‘organized worldview’. This leaves the door open for both further reception and elaboration and, of course, also for theoretical and empirically based criticism. In her Keynote Address at the 2022 Nordic Conference on Religious Education in Riga, in June, Caroline Klintborg articulated the claim that instead of using the notion of ‘worldview’ – and its sub-concepts – there are good reasons for using the concept of ‘existential configurations’ instead. In this response I weigh the power of her argumentation, and conclude from what I coin as a form of conceptual sustainability that her conceptualization should be interpreted as an elaboration of the concept of ‘worldview’ instead of as a replacement.

Published: November 2022

Innovation is crucial for the competitiveness of countries in the global market. Countries oriented to progress must invest in innovative activities. Using the example of the Western Balkan countries, this study investigated their innovative competitiveness. The indicators of the Global Innovation Index (GII) were used for the years 2019, 2020, and 2021. A multi-criteria approach was based on the innovative SMART approach. The weights of the criteria were determined using the CRITIC (criteria importance through intercriteria correlation) method, while the CRADIS (compromise ranking of alternatives from distance to ideal solution) method ranked the Western Balkan countries according to their innovative characteristics. The results showed that Montenegro had the best innovation indicators, followed by Serbia, while Albania had the worst indicators. This research showed an innovative approach of using four normalizations, and the advantages of these normalizations were used to contribute to stabilization in multi-criteria decision-making.

The present article sets out to explore the relationship between the social worker’s identity and the organizational change within the Ministry of Welfare in Israel. The article builds on the observation that successful organizational change requires a good understanding of the impact of change on the identity of the employees. First, the study sets out to clarify the notion of regulation and indicates some current trends in the specialized literature regarding the regulation of social services. Next, an analysis is offered of the regulator’s role in Israel’s Ministry of Welfare, special attention being paid to a number of characteristics and challenges, such as: the regulator’s loneliness, regulatory capacity, and specialization and division (versus inclusion and expertise). A more detailed and nuanced analysis is then offered regarding the identity of the social worker, as a professional in the field of social welfare; specific attention is paid to the professional aspect, the legal-value aspect, and the organizational-institutional aspect. A concluding section brings together some of the key findings and implications of the present study.
The “Inhospitable Pandemic”. Local Effects of Covid-19 on Migration and Intercultural Public Communication
Authors: Buoncompagni Giacomo
Published: November 2022

During the period of the blockade, the migrant community experienced a condition of increased hardship, made even more critical by the difficulties related to the possibilities of participating in the social, cultural but also working life of the local community, forcing many of them to stop participating in compulsory labor market insertion programs and to take advantage of educational and training supports. This critical situation has made it even more necessary to address these barriers and support the immigrant population in developing media-digital skills to intercept their needs and accelerate their integration into the community more easily. Digital and institutional forms of communication are crucial in defining the growth prospects of individuals, more so when the objective becomes to create pathways of social and cultural inclusion in contexts of crisis. Without this informational and socio-political ‘care’, the pandemic society risks becoming inhospitable in its local and global dimensions.
A new control strategy for harmonic reduction in photovoltaic inverters inspired by the autonomous nervous system

Published: November 2022

This paper proposes a new inverter control strategy whose main purpose is to reduce the current harmonic distortion resulting from unnecessary control actions without sacrificing the system’s dynamic response. The brain’s capabilities to learn and react to stress are mimicked to generate control actions based on emotional cues. The model is based on the brain emotional learning based intelligent controller, to which an autonomous nervous system was added. The modified controller aims at separating the strategy during transient states from the one during steady states. The proposed method was compared to the PI controller, the PR controller, and a neural network-based controller on Matlab Simulink. It shows major improvements in terms of harmonic distortion and a complete removal of the inter-harmonics. It provides a good dynamic response in transient states and an immunity to irrelevant signal variations during the steady state, which results in an improvement in the harmonic production.
Optimal design and low noise realization of digital differentiator
Authors: Goswami Om Prakash , Shukla Aasheesh , Kumar Manish
Published: November 2022

This manuscript presents a design of a differentiator in the digital domain with its low noise realization. It manifests the minimization of the L1 -error objective function by using a hybrid optimization technique consisting of the particle swarm and simulated annealing optimization algorithm. The obtained magnitude response provides a noteworthy approximation of the ideal differentiator with a minimal magnitude inaccuracy when compared with the existing designs. The realization structures are also investigated and compared in terms of the noise gain behavior.

A triple path dual resistive feedback noise cancellation (TP-DRNC) low noise amplifier (LNA) with transformer output presented which provides high gain, low noise figure (NF), and high figure of merit (FM). The analysis of triple path, dual resistive, gain, and NF have been discussed. The effect of various components used in the circuit have been analyzed and their optimized values are obtained which resulted in the high (FM). The combination of dual resistive feedback with triple path NC transformer output allowed for low NF and high gain. The proposed GPDK 45 nm complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology-based LNA offers a flat gain curve of 10.81 dB over the range of 1.6 GHz to 4.3 GHz, or 2.7 GHz bandwidth, and S11 less than −9 dB. The input third order intercept point (IIP3) for the given bandwidth has value of 5.7 dBm, while the minimal NF achieved is 2.7 dB; (FM1) is 14.026 and (FM2) is 12.48. The proposed LNA’s layout with an o -chip transformer has an area of 0.01985 mm2
Novel MAC routing protocol for wireless sensor networks based on IEEE 802.11 ad hoc networks
Authors: Choi Woo-Yong
Published: November 2022

Due to the lack of efficient specified multi-hop routing protocol, IEEE 802.11 ad hoc networks have been in limited use for realizing wireless sensor networks where wireless sensors are dispersed in a region and each sensor can transmit its data to one another. We propose a novel MAC routing protocol for IEEE 802.11 wireless sensor networks, of which the service areas are extended by appropriately appointed pseudo-access points.
Frequency magnitude distribution and spatial correlation dimension of earthquakes in north-east Himalaya and adjacent regions
Authors: Tiwari Ram Krishna , Paudyal Harihar
Published: November 2022

The north-east sector of the Himalaya is one of the most active tectonic belts, with complex geological and tectonic features. The b-value and spatial correlation dimension (Dc) of earthquake distribution in the north-east Himalaya and its adjacent regions (20–32°N and 88–98°E) are estimated in the present study. Based on seismicity and faulting pattern, the region is divided into five active regions, namely the (i) South-Tibet, (ii) Eastern-Syntaxis, (iii) Himalayan-Frontal Arc, (iv) Arakan-Yoma belt and (v) Shillong-Plateau. A homogeneous catalogue of 1,416 earthquakes (mb ≥ 4.5) has been prepared from a revised catalogue of the ISC (International Seismological Centre). The b-value has been appraised by the maximum likelihood estimation method, while Dc values have been calculated by the correlation integral method; b-values of 1.08 ± 0.09, 1.13 ± 0.05, 0.92 ± 0.05, 1.00 ± 0.03 and 0.98 ± 0.08 have been computed for the South-Tibet, Eastern-Syntaxis, Himalayan-Frontal Arc, Arakan-Yoma belt and Shillong-Plateau region, respectively. The Dc values computed for the respective regions are 1.36 ± 0.02, 1.74 ± 0.04, 1.57 ± 0.01, 1.8 ± 0.01, and 1.83 ± 0.02. These values are > 1.5, except for the South-Tibet (1.36 ± 0.02). The b-values around the global average value (1.0) reflect the stress level and seismic activity of the regions, while high Dc values refer to the heterogeneity of the seismogenic sources.

Authors: Sokół Ł. , Olejnik A.
Published: November 2022

The paper discusses the problem of the effect of the water - flat-panel illuminator - air optical system on the size of an object photographed in an underwater environment as well as presents an analysis of the function describing the angular size of an object photographed with this type of system along with the results of computer simulations. It has been shown that when using this type of an optical system in practice, the value of the angle of incidence of the rays from the photographed object on the illuminator plane has the major influence on output object dimensions.
