Today, the development of aircraft within the electric aircraft concept framework is relevant. In this case, the key technology is the integrated starter-generator, which makes it possible to refuse the mechanical, pneumatic, and hydraulic power take-off from the aircraft engine. In the well-known scientific articles, integrated starter-generators are designed without considering the features due to their location inside the aircraft engines. This study starts a set of projects devoted to the design of integrated starter-generator for a bypass turbojet engine, considering the features of this technical decision. The purpose of this study is to develop approaches to determine critical rotation frequency of high-pressure rotor considering starter-generator integration. Models to determine the critical rotation frequency of a high-pressure rotor with an integrated starter-generator rotor are developed based on non-traditional models of rotor dynamics by mathematical modeling. An area for the integrated starter-generator location has been determined and a constructive method for its implementation is proposed for a bypass turbojet engine. In this study, mathematical expressions are obtained to determine high-pressure rotor critical speed in case of a detailed study of dynamics and in case of an integrated starter-generator preliminary calculations. Based on the value of the critical speed of the high-pressure rotor calculated from the obtained expressions, firstly, it is possible to check the correctness of the choice of the air gap of the integrated starter-generator and strength calculations of the integrated starter-generator in the most difficult operating mode. Secondly, it is possible to determine safe operation area of the bypass turbojet engine with an integrated starter-generator. The results of the study enhance the theoretical foundations of the design of the integrated starter-generators and make it possible to avoid errors in their design and further operation.

Devices for heat treatment of bulk media due to the supply of high-temperature agent from an external source are widely used. In this case using the fluidization technique, the thermal agent also performs the function of a fluidizing medium. The ohmic heating of particles directly in the fluidized bed can be considered as an alternative and preferred technology in some cases. However, to organize such processes effectively we need reliable models to predict the structure of the fluidized bed itself, since it largely determines the conductivity, and, hence, the intensity of heating. The fluidized bed is an inhomogeneous heterogeneous system, therefore, mathematical models assuming its spatial discretization are necessary for its adequate description. Thus, the development of such models is an urgent task. The mathematical apparatus of the Markov chain theory is used as a mathematical basis to model the structure of a bulk medium in a fluidized bed. Parametric identification of the model is performed using the dependencies known from the literature. The transition matrices have been aligned with the physical parameters of the mass flows, which makes the proposed model nonlinear. The electrothermal process in the fluidized bed is described at a qualitative level with an assumption that the heating intensity of the representative volume of the bed is inversely proportional to the volume concentration of particles in it. The gas-particle heat and mass transfer process is a limiting factor that determine the asymptotic temperature in the bed. The authors have studied numerically the influence of the structure and expansion of the fluidized bed on the heating intensity of its phases in case we have internal heat sources, the intensity of which is inversely related to the concentration of the solid phase. The influence of various parameters of the model on the formation of the thermal regime in the apparatus is estimated. It is shown that for an appropriate description of processes in the apparatus, its analysis as an object with distributed spatial parameters is necessary. The paper shows that the methodology of the Markov chain approach is an acceptable tool to describe the structure of such particle systems as a fluidized bed. The obtained results of numerical experiments are in good qualitative agreement with the fluidized bed theory. They can be considered as a reliable scientific basis to calculate the system of ohmic heating of media in a fluidized bed.
The Soil-bound Cult of “Immediacy” as an Aspect of Relationships Between Westernism and Slavophilism
Authors:   Volgograd State University, Pigalev A.I.
Published: December 2022

The paper deals with the meaning and the contexts of the term “immediacy” that was of great importance to the formation of the soil-bound trend (pochvennichestvo) in Russia in the 19th century. Having taken the place of Slavophilism, the pochvennichestvo still showed a keen interest in antiquity, tradition, custom, the ease of folk way of life and folk arts as the manifestations of a certain “native soil” that was endangered during the modernization of the traditional culture. The concomitant ideological shift is analyzed in connection with the evolution of the views of Apollon Grigoriev who was one of the principal ideologists of the soil-bound tradition. Meanwhile, the study takes into account not only the inner tendencies of Russian culture under modernization, but also the various formats of its interaction with the societies of already established modernity as a factor of external influence. It is pointed out that the tendency to combine the elements of modernity and tradition is obvious in all forms of western Romanticism as well as in the relationships between Westernism and Slavophilism. Hereupon, the term “immediacy” that was prototyped by German philosophy together with the subsequent term “mediation”, became topical in Russia just in the context of the native-soil trend. It took the same path as Western Romanticism and exactly in the same way searched after a special concept of the organic unity. It is shown that Grigoriev, having been one of the first theorists of native-soil trend, tried to justify the pattern of the unity of Westernism and Slavophilism in such a way that it, nevertheless, could admit the preservation of “immediacy”. In the issue, he had found the pattern of such unity in F.W.J. Schelling’s philosophy and indirectly confirmed the existence of the generalities of modernization that is influenced by the culture of already established modernity.
Grattez le russe, et vous verrez le tartare: Perversion of French Saying in Oeuvre of F.M. Dostoevsky
Authors:   V.I. Dahl State Museum of the History of Russian Literature, Borisova V.V. ,   State Linguistic University,   Bashkir State Pedagogical University named after M. Akmulla
Published: December 2022

The article considers the famous saying Grattez le russe, et vous verrez le tartare (Scratch a Russian and you’ll find a Tatar) taken from A Writer's Diary and The Raw Youth by F.M. Dostoevsky. The interpretation of the cultural and historical meaning of this French saying is given, associated with the tradition of identifying Russians with barbarians, “Asians”, which is confirmed by the punning and ironic roll call of homophones barbare and tartare. The major contribution into transformation of this stereotypical belief about the nation was made by Dostoevsky in the relevant journalistic and artistic texts of 1870s. He had experienced staying in the Siberian Asia and would speak to kazakh scientist Chokan Valikhanov and other Russian orientalists. The writer used to have a Europe-centric perspective of Russia. However, he gradually transformed and started from sharp criticism of the Eurocentric view of Russia to adopt a positive interpretation of the “Asian” origins (existing along with the European ones) in the Russians’ nature. Eventually Dostoevsky shaped a trinitary Eurasian formula that he used to define the national and cultural essence of Russia. The essence includes not only Russian and European origins, but also the third origin which is Asian and no less substantial. This idea was fully explained by A Writer's Diary’s author in his late days in 1881: “Europe <…> is the mother of Russia just like Asia is”.

BETWEEN THE KING AND THE CITY: THE JEWISH COMMUNITY OF AUGSBURG AND THE GOVERNMENT IN THE 14TH-15TH CENTURIES
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Rundichuk A.
Published: December 2022

In the late Middle Ages on the territory of the cathedral city of Augsburg were two Jewish settlements, which were formed in the XII-XIII cent. In High Middle Ages, the administration of the Jewish community was made through the mediation of city, bishop and king. However, in the XIV-XV cent. the main interaction regarding the settlement of the life of the Jewish community took place between the king and the city. At the same time, were formed the main legal acts, which regulated the relations between the local population and the Jewish community, its social status. Augsburg Jews were under the jurisdiction of the king and paid taxes to the state treasury in exchange for security guarantees. Legal regulation of the Jewish population of Augsburg, the resolution of disputes between Christians and Jews was carried out with the participation of the city or a person appointed by the king. The city council tried to take precedence in the tax collection procedure, which was perceived by the king as an encroachment on his authority. Such conflicts were resolved by imposing fines on the city or through the courts. In addition, members of the Jewish community were lenders to both the ruler and the burghers and the city council, which often led to misconduct against Jews by the authorities, including arrests and extortion of debtors, and de facto write-offs of the debts. The change in the Jewish community of Augsburg, as in other German medieval cities, depended on the waves of the plague, which often led to pogroms, organized on baseless accusations of causing the disease, followed by the expulsion of the Jewish population from the city. At the same time, most debtors were given the opportunity not to pay debts to their lenders. Besides, the property of the Jewish community passed into the hands of the emperor and princes. From the XV cent., Augsburg, following the example of other German cities, introduced special markings for the Jewish population.

Published: December 2022

A significant portion of the energy consumption in cloud data centres can be attributed to the inefficient utilization of available resources due to the lack of dynamic resource allocation techniques such as virtual machine migration and workload consolidation strategies to better optimize the utilization of resources. We present a new method for optimizing cloud data centre management by combining virtual machine migration with workload consolidation. Our proposed Energy Efficient Particle Swarm Optimization (EE-PSO) algorithm to improve resource utilization and reduce energy consumption. We carried out experimental evaluations with the Container CloudSim toolkit to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed EE-PSO algorithm in terms of energy consumption, quality of service guarantees, the number of newly created VMs, and container migrations.

Published: December 2022

The advancement of Internet-based technologies has made huge progress toward improving the accessibility of "smart agriculture." With the advent of unmanned and automatic management, smart agriculture is now able to accomplish monitoring, supervision, and real-time picture monitoring. It is not possible to know for sure that the data in a smart agriculture system is complete and secure from intrusion. This article investigates and assesses the potential of edge computing and blockchain for use in smart agriculture. We combine the advantages of blockchain technology and the edge computing framework to create a smart agriculture framework system that is based on a very straightforward analysis of the evolution of smart agriculture. The study proposes a thorough method for emphasizing the significance of agriculture and edge computing, as well as the advantages of incorporating blockchain technology in this context. This paper also proposes an intelligent agricultural product traceability system design: edge computing with blockchain for smart agriculture. The study concludes with a discussion of outstanding problems and difficulties that can arise during the creation of a blockchain-based edge computing system for smart agriculture systems.

Published: December 2022

This paper examines the key macroeconomic factors of non-performing loans (NPLs) in the banking sector of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The research is conducted on quarterly time series data within the period from 2005 to 2019. The autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach is used to model the long-run and short-run relationship between macroeconomic time series. The research results show that increase in real GDP is associated with decrease in NPLs, while rising unemployment and consumer prices are correlated with higher levels of NPLs at 5% significance level.

Published: December 2022

With the purpose of establishing differences in behaviour of tourist destination visitors this paper aims to identify their habits, attitudes and activities with regard to transport modalities used on a daily basis, during the trip to the destination, and while staying in the destination, highlighting the aspect of smart technology usage. The results of this study are part of a more extensive research on the behaviour of tourist destination visitors, conducted as part of the Project Cekom – Competence Center for Smart Cities, whereby the research tools and methods were built on the ETIS (European Tourism Indicators System) methodology. Approximately seven hundred visitors of the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, which was taken as a case study, were included in the research. The study showed that accessibility was one of the key factors in destination choice for the respondents, and that their everyday transport behaviour patterns differ somewhat from their behaviour pattern when travelling and vacationing. Statistically significant differences were determined in the perceived experience of different groups of destination visitors’, as well as in the frequency of use of smart technologies among groups of visitors with different transport behaviour. One of the research limitations with regard to generalization of conclusions is research focus on a specific destination area, as well as the pre-defined structure of the research sample, which is in line with the requirements of the funding EU project. Differences in transportation behaviour among groups of respondents in general, and in relation to the use of smart technologies, should be verified on a larger sample, in other destination areas. Acknowledging the behavioural aspects, i.e. the differences in the transport behaviour and smart technologies usage has social and practical implications for destinations, in the context of the changed dynamics in the relationships and roles of stakeholders on the tourism market.
RESILIENCE OF FOOD SUPPLY CHAINS – A DYNAMIC CAPABILITY APPROACH
Authors:   Corvinus University of Budapest, Hungary, Jambor Zsofia , Nagy Judit
Published: December 2022

There are many examples of increasing risk exposure in supply chains in recent years. The Covid-19 pandemic proved to be a huge challenge in the last two years, and the war in Ukraine is currently creating uncertainty in the food industry. In our study, we specifically identify and examine risks threatening the food supply chains. In addition to classifying risks, we examine the dynamic capabilities that companies need to have when operating in the downstream supply chain processes in order to mitigate these risks. The research uses a qualitative methodology and explores the range of required corporate capabilities through interviews with manufacturers as focal companies of a food supply chain. We hypothesise that sensing capability and flexibility, as well as communication and coordination skills, will be key to managing threats. As a result of our study, we can ascertain that the security of supply chain operations does not only depend on supply chain capabilities.
THE ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT AS A PREDICTOR OF ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTIONS
Authors:   Faculty of Economics Osijek, Požega Željko , Ribić Damir
Published: December 2022

The goal of the paper is to examine the influence of the economic environment of the individual’s place of origin on the intensity of entrepreneurial intentions which are seen in the desire to start an entrepreneurial venture. Economic factors primarily mean the economic development of a certain area, which in the present study is expressed as the size of GDP. The study’s respondents were students who had enrolled at the Republic of Croatia’s higher education institutions where the study programmes are focused on some of the forms of entrepreneurial education: entrepreneurship, economy, and management. According to the data provided by the Agency for Science and Higher Education, in the academic year 2017/18, the total number of students enrolled in study programs relevant to research was 3768.The research was conducted on a sample of 690 students, which makes the sample size 18.31% of the total number of enrolled students. For the empirical part of the paper, the anonymous survey method was used, while different statistical methods were used to analyse the results of the survey, such as the Regression analysis, Pearson correlation coefficient, and the t-test. The conducted study proves that the level of development of the economic environment directly influenced the entrepreneurial intentions of the respondents. Entrepreneurial intentions represent the intensity of aspiration and how much an individual wants to start their entrepreneurial venture. Certain individuals might have the desire to become an entrepreneur, but multiple factors affect whether they will start their venture. It is a long way from desiring to implementing the entrepreneurial idea that initially appeared as an entrepreneurial intention. Multiple factors and determinants guide someone’s behaviour, and the intensity of the influence is different for each determinant.
New mode of luxury shoppers: focusing on personalised experiences
Authors: Oe Hiroko , Yamaoka Yasuyuki , Liang Yan
Published: December 2022

This article examines the online luxury product purchasing behaviour of Asian consumers. The study consists of a quantitative analysis of data collected from Generation Y consumers in emerging markets in Asia. The results show that face-saving value is the most influential factor determining luxury goods purchase intention, while personal experience does not have a strong influence on purchase intention. This suggests that personalised experience, which has recently attracted researchers’ attention as a significant factor in Western contexts, does not yet have a direct influence on the behaviour of luxury shoppers in emerging markets, where they continue to pay premium prices to mantain their face. The results provide useful reference data for the development of marketing strategies in the luxury goods sector.

Authors: Viejo Serrano Nerea , Gomes-Franco e Silva Flávia
Published: December 2022

El sector de los eventos encuentra en las tecnologías un fuerte aliado a la hora de conectar con el público y ofrecerle experiencias únicas. Sin embargo, no todas las personas tienen ocasión de disfrutar íntegramente de un evento, sobre todo si este no está pensado para suplir necesidades concretas de los asistentes. Este estudio pretende visibilizar la importancia de la adaptación, más allá de lo que dictan las normativas de accesibilidad, proponiendo una guía práctica para crear eventos multisensoriales inclusivos con base en el marketing sensorial. Para ello, se ha realizado una investigación cualitativa de carácter exploratorio, la cual revela una escasez de literatura relevante respecto al objeto de estudio, así como la urgente necesidad de seguir innovando en la adaptabilidad sensorial y cognitiva en los eventos.

Authors: Gutiérrez-Aragón Óscar , Berbel Giménez Gaspar , Copeiro-Fernández Meritxell , Linde-Gomis Itziar
Published: December 2022

El objetivo principal de este trabajo es conocer los efectos del marketing sensorial sobre las decisiones de los clientes de restaurantes al hacer turismo gastronómico. La metodología utilizada es de tipo cuantitativo, a partir de los resultados de una encuesta, a los que se ha aplicado análisis estadístico descriptivo y bivariado. Los principales resultados indican que el 32,30% de los participantes señala al turismo gastronómico como uno de sus motivos preferentes para viajar a un destino y que el 35,2% estaría dispuesto a pagar más por una experiencia multisensorial en un restaurante. Se concluye que las empresas e instituciones involucradas en un sector tan competitivo deben apostar firmemente por la utilización de las técnicas propias del marketing sensorial, pues los turistas gastronómicos muestran preferencias sensoriales muy concretas sobre determinados aspectos relacionados con la vista (luz), olfato (olores más o menos fuertes), gusto (platos), oído (música ambiental) o tacto (materiales).

Published: December 2022

The purpose of this study was to explore the potential relationship between ACTN-3 and ACE gene expression over the change in muscle mechanical and functional properties in youth handballers through a congested tournament. 30 players of the first handball division of Costa Rica participated in this study. The participants played a national tournament during three consecutive days (one match per day). The collection of genetic samples was through a mouth rinse with a 5% sucrose solution before the tournament. PCR tests were used to detect the alleles of the ACE and ACTN3 genes and the product´s reaction was visualized by electrophoresis. Before and after each match, tensiomyography (TMG) and Countermovement jump (CMJ) tests were used to assess mechanical and functional properties respectively. Descriptive frequency analyses and a one-way analysis of variance of independent groups were the statistics test applied. The results showed that the most prevalent polymorphisms expression was ACTN-3 R-X (56.7%) and ECA I-D (43.3%). No significant differences (p> 0.050) were found between genes expressed in the mechanical responses (contraction time (TC), delay time (TD) and, maximum radial displacement (DM)) of the rectus femoral muscle of the dominant leg neither in performance in the test CMJ. Likewise, there was no significant change (p> 0.050) in muscle mechanical or functional properties post official matches. In conclusion, handball players have the genes ACE and ACTN. Nevertheless, it seems to have no influence of these genes on the mechanical or functional muscles acute responses. More investigations will be needed to explain and understand the real impact of this gene’s expression on muscle performance in handball players.

Realismo interno y externalismo semántico: los argumentos de la «tierra gemela» y «cerebros en una cubeta»
Authors: Estrada-Pérez Luis Francisco
Published: December 2022

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo analizar dos doctrinas que se mantienen entrelazadas en el periodo de producción de Hilary Putnam, que va del año 1976-1990, a saber, el realismo interno y el externalismo semántico, a la luz de dos presupuestos de los argumentos “tierra gemela” y “cerebros en una cubeta”: los enunciados autoadscriptivos y el uso del lenguaje. El propósito del presente trabajo es demostrar que en estos puzzles se evidencia la adopción satisfactoria de ambas posiciones en el programa del referido filósofo, y que un análisis exhaustivo permite una ponderación más precisa del alcance y los planteamientos del autor. La conclusión a la que se arriba es que, si bien existe compatibilidad entre el externalismo semántico y el realismo interno, con distintos matices, en los argumentos mencionados, sin embargo, resulta ambiguo el estatus ontológico y epistémico del lenguaje representacional de quienes se encuentren en el estado hipotético presentados en ambos puzzles.

Heritage Language Long-Distance Acquisition in Remote Areas—Implementing Telecollaboration in Social Media to Increase Exposure to Polish Language and Culture
Authors: Krajka Jaroslaw , Gabryś-Sławińska Monika
Published: December 2022

This paper reports on a study conducted during the implementation of the Polish language and culture promotion project, run by Maria Curie-Skłodowska University and financed by the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange. In this project, Polish students were involved in telecollaboration with Brazilians from the Ijui region. The aim of this study was to investigate the possibilities of arranging heritage language acquisition through telecollaboration via social media. Due to the isolation of many communities, telecollaboration can be a useful method facilitating heritage language and culture acquisition across the world. This article used the case study method, in which the “Language Clinic” component of the project was taken under detailed scrutiny.

The project showed language shift and translanguaging as it happened—initially, the students from Brazil used English as a lingua franca and as a classroom language; however, once they grew more confident, they replaced English with Polish as the target language. For Polish student assistants, participation in the project brought about many benefits: increased orthophonic awareness, gaining an understanding of how careless articulation and inappropriate intonation of the utterance may lead to communication breakdown.

Authors: Ubaidulla U. , Sinha Priyanka , Sangavi T. , Rathnam Grace
Published: December 2022

The present paper deals with the development of silymarin entrapped Chitosan Phthalate (CP) nanoparticles for targeting colon cancer. The QbD approach is applied to optimize the silymarin loaded chitosan phthalate nanoparticles. DOE was employed to evaluate the dependent variables from the responses of CP nanoparticles. The CP NPs were found to be 140% of mucoadhesivity at pH 7.4, superior to pH 1.2 (10%). The result revealed the chemical or ionic bond formation between the positively charged amino groups of chitosan phthalate and the negatively charged sialic acid residue of mucin present in the mucous membrane. In vitro drug release profiles were carried out under acidic and basic pH conditions. The release of encapsulated silymarin was found to be poor in acidic conditions and maximum in basic conditions. The results suggested that chitosan phthalate nanoparticles could have the potential to enhance the bioavailability of silymarin.

Published: December 2022

Currently, the paradigm shift of folklore medicine is obvious among the public and researchers. Study based on traditional medicine around the world has become prominent with the addition of pharmacological studies to scientifically prove the effectiveness of the concerned medicine. Tamarind (Tamarindus indica L. of family Fabaceae) alone or with a combination of other herbs has been proved to be effective for treating many ailments such as arthritis, dysuria, dental diseases, ulcer, sexual dysfunction, etc. It also exhibits pharmacological actions such as antimicrobial, anti-dysentery, anti-coagulant, hepatoprotective, anti-asthmatic, and anti-diabetic. The pharmacological effect of the fruit or the pulp, leaves, flowers, kernel, and inner bark has been studied. Furthermore, different species of tamarind have also been studied. Numerous studies such as chemical, analytical and biological were conducted to confirm the same. The clinical studies of tamarind match with folklore practices with respect to pharmacological actions, still some are yet to be explored. This study focuses on reviewing the chemical composition, pharmacological effects, and nutritional effects of tamarind. Hence it can be concluded that the folklore practice and modern medicinal practice interact with each other. Thus, the folklore practices without being neglected can be extended for the support of scientific evidence through detailed researches.
Preparation and Characterization of Bovine Serum Albumin Nanoparticles of Curcumin using a Chemometric Approach
Authors: Syed Ayesha , Karwa Preeti , Devi V. Kusum
Published: December 2022

Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) has been presupposed to be a versatile protein polymer for targeted drug delivery. BSA nanoparticles can lead to passive targeting of drugs to the inflamed joint via the Enhanced Permeability and Retention (EPR) effect and due to their specific affinity towards the inflamed joint because of the inadequacy of protein in the affected region. Hence, the aim of the study was to develop BSA nanoparticles loading curcumin (BSA_CUR_NPs) by nanoparticle albuminbound technology and its optimization was conducted by 33 Box Behnken Design (BBD) in order to achieve the desired particle size and entrapment efficiency. Further, the optimised nanoparticles were also assessed for polydispersity index, zeta potential, total drug content, and in-vitro drug release study. The response surface plots and equations generated by BBD predicted the relationship between variables under study. The optimised formulation C12 was found to have a particle size of 207.1 ± 1.36nm, PDI of 0.138 ± 0.03, entrapment efficiency of 75.04 ± 0.06 %, total drug content of 91.40 ± 0.08% and zeta potential of -32.9mV. The optimised nanoparticles exhibited good sustained release for up to 8 days. The use of a chemometric approach led to the development of BSA_CUR_NPs with the desired characteristics with a less experimental procedure. Therefore, it presents an important model for producing the nanoparticles of the desired characteristics using albumin as a polymer for the enhanced and sustained delivery of loaded drugs to the inflamed joint.

Dental caries is an age-old oral disease afflicting humans irrespective of gender, age, socio-economical background, and geographical location. Despite extensive research being done worldwide to prevent dental caries, it is undoubtedly still a significant public health issue. Streptococcus mutans, a commensal bacteria of the oral microflora, is the primary etiological agent strongly linked to dental caries. In recent years, medicinal plant-based phytotherapy has drawn great attention towards managing various diseases as it is effective and safe. The aim of the investigation was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of fresh Citrus limon fruit juice against S. mutans and to quantify its ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) concentration. Additionally, to determine the MIC, MBC and growth curve assay of standard ascorbic acid against S. mutans. Fresh C. limon fruit juice demonstrated significant antimicrobial activity against the S. mutans reference strain (MTCC 497) by the agar well diffusion method. The ascorbic acid concentration of C. limon juice was found to be 0.194 % w/w by HPLC technique. The MIC and MBC values of standard ascorbic acid against S. mutans were found to be 12.5 mg/ml and 25 mg/ml, respectively. The growth curve assay demonstrated that ascorbic acid at a sub-MIC concentration of 6.25 mg/ml did not display any significant variations in the growth rate of S. mutans. To summarize, C. limon fruit juice is a potential source of natural antibacterial metabolites against S. mutans. Ascorbic acid, one of the chief components of C. limon fruit, is a promising agent for the development of anti-caries products. Further studies are warranted for developing novel formulations using ascorbic acid with other natural metabolites for the prevention and better management of caries.
DISCOURSE AND DISCURSIVE MARKERS: EXPERIENCE OF LINGUISTIC, TERMINOLOGICAL AND LINGUISTIC-HISTORIOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS
Authors: Tsarenko Natalia Mikhailovna
Published: December 2022

Aim. To analyze historical formation of the terms “discourse” and “discursive marker” and their current interpretation.

Methodology. Content analysis, as a key research method, enables the author to study the dictionaries of the linguistic terms as well as the researches devoted to the issues of discourse and discursive markers. The author analyzed the content of the terms, summarized the information and made a number of conclusions.

Results. At the present stage of the development of linguistics, discourse remains a term closely related to the text and speech activity of a person, but its analysis enables the identification of the illocutionary and perlocutionary components of a speech utterance, simultaneously revealing the features of the speaker's cognitive activity. Discursive markers, as units of different speech parts, create "marks" in speech for its more accurate interpretation by the recipient, but do not change the propositional meaning of the utterance, merely supplying it with pragmatic information.

Research implications. The study clarifies the modern terminological interpretation of the two concepts, namely discourse and discursive marker, thereby creating a basis for further analysis of discursive markers functioning in discourse.

Intellectual Security: Countering Cyberterrorism
Authors: Husain Andi Subhan , Muhammad Ali
Published: December 2022

Researchers develop the conception of intellectual security by relating the introductory understanding of cyberterrorism, the difference between cyberterror attacks, and activities supporting. This study uses an inductive approach to formulate a general framework. The data collection technique used is a secondary data that is obtained through literature review from libraries and internet. The result of this study attempts to clarify the distinction between cyberterror attacks and support by examining them in terms of the generalities of confidentiality, integrity, and vacuity. A breach of confidentiality occurs if an unauthorized stoner earnings access to information. A breach of confidentiality is an act of cyberterror support. There are three introductory generalities of intellectual security; As the moderation of human understanding of religious and political issues, understanding deviation and human civilizations; As the harmony between the state and society to save individuals and groups from doctrinal or intellectual that may be the cause of deviations in behavior and thoughts from the right path; As safety of human thought from deviation which leads to maintaining public order. Our study differs from former exploration by offering the conception of intellectual security to fight cyberterrorism. Researchers believe that this conception can be developed further through subsequent study.

Evaluation of China's Foreign Aid Policy to Africa through Islamic Perspective
Authors: Alam Ilman Nur , Cipto Bambang
Published: December 2022

This paper focuses on the discussion of evaluating foreign aid policies implemented by China to Africa using an Islamic perspective. In practice, China has several motives in its foreign aid policy such as natural resources, political and economic motives. This study uses a qualitative approach by using literature as the source. This study found that the concept of foreign aid applied by China has a fundamental difference with the concept of aid in the Islamic perspective. The difference lies in three main things, namely the intention, form, and motive of assistance. The intention of the assistance provided by China is of interest while Islam is more on the pleasure of God. The form of aid distributed by China is material, while in Islam it is both material and non-material. The motive for the assistance carried out by China is based on the interests of natural resources, politics, and the economy, while in Islam it is more on humanism, karamah al-insan (glorifying humans), ukhwah basyariyah (solidarity).
