Does intra-procedural enlightenment change the level of anxiety and pain in scheduled breast ultrasonography?
Authors: ULU ÖZTÜRK Funda , TEZCAN Şehnaz
Published: May 2023

Aim: Scheduled breast ultrasounds are stressful procedures for women. We aimed to study the effect of informing patients during breast ultrasound and investigate associated anxiety and pain alterations.

Material and Methods: After approval of the state hospital ethics committee and informed consent, women scheduled for breast ultrasound between November 2022 and March 2023 were prospectively enrolled in this randomized controlled study. Patients were either informed during the ultrasound about the procedure itself or not. The participants completed State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for measuring anxiety and visual analog scale for pain scores, immediately before and after the examination. Demographic data, anxiety and pain scores were statistically evaluated by using chi-square test, independent samples t-test and Mann-Whitney U test. The alteration of anxiety and pain scores considering enlightenment were compared with paired samples t-test and Wilcoxon test.

Results: Among 143 patients, preprocedural anxiety was lower in oncological follow-ups and higher in positive clinical breast examination, breast self-examination and mammography subgroups. Trait and preprocedural state anxiety scores were similar between the two groups regarding enlightenment. Anxiety and pain reduction was observed after ultrasound and both were statistically significant in the informed group (p

Composition of Proteins and Phenolics in the Leaves of Different Mulberry Species (Morus alba L., M. alba × rubra, M. australis Poir., M. nigra L.)
Authors: Jelen Špela , Urbanek Krajnc Andreja
Published: May 2023

The leaves of the mulberry (Morus sp.) have a variety of medicinal, culinary, industrial and agricultural applications. In our study, we compared the protein and phenolic contents of different mulberry species (Morus alba L., M. alba × rubra, M. australis Poir., M. nigra L.) from the mulberry germplasm collection to determine species-specific differences. The possibility of using mulberries as animal feed and for pharmacological purposes was reviewed. Total phenols of all genotypes were analysed using the Folin-Ciocalteu method, while total protein content was determined using the Lowry's method. The individual phenols were analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography with UV/VIS detection. The total protein content ranged from 162.03 mg BSA/g DW (M. australis) to 239.42 mg BSA/g DW (M. alba). Significantly higher contents of total proteins were determined in the leaves of M. alba. The highest mean concentrations of total phenols (21.51 mg GAE /g DW), chlorogenic acid (18.05 mg/g DW), 4-caffeoylquinic acid (4.36 mg/g DW), 5-p-coumaroylquinic acid (2.01 mg/g DW), quercetin glycoside (0.74 mg/g DW) and kaempferol acetyl hexoside (4.42 mg/g DW) were determined in M. alba × rubra and M. nigra. In contrast, white mulberry (M.alba) genotypes contained on average the most rutin (2.63 mg/g DW) and quercetin-malonyl-hexoside (1.59 mg/g DW). It can be concluded that the leaves of the white mulberry are best suited as animal feed due to their high protein content, while the black mulberry and the hybrid M. alba × rubra have pharmacological potential due to their high phenolic content.

Konstrukcja przepisów ustawy o podatku dochodowym od osób fizycznych, określających katalog źródeł przychodów opodatkowanych tym podatkiem, utrudnia wskazanie precyzyjnych przesłanek, które należy uwzględniać, dokonując oceny, w jakich przypadkach przychody z najmu i odpłatnego zbycia nieruchomości powinny zostać zaliczone do źródła przychodu, jaki stanowi pozarolnicza działalność gospodarcza. Ustalenia przedmiotowych przesłanek nie ułatwia także treść definicji działalności gospodarczej sformułowanej w niniejszej ustawie.
O potrzebie respektowania norm konstytucyjnych w przypadku braku przepisów intertemporalnych w ustawach podatkowych
Authors: Glumińska-Pawlic Jadwiga , Obidowski Jacek
Published: May 2023

Częste zmiany przepisów podatkowych powodują destabilizację utrwalonych oraz ukształtowanych stosunków prawnych. Kierując się normami konstytucyjnymi, ustawodawca powinien stworzyć takie zasady wprowadzania zmian w ustawach podatkowych, aby podatnicy nie byli nimi zaskakiwani i by zapewniono im działanie w zaufaniu do państwa i prawa. Ograniczenie ryzyka naruszenia tej zasady powinno następować poprzez wprowadzenie reguł intertemporalnych przy zmianie stanu prawnego, a negatywne skutki zmian muszą być niwelowane przez ochronę praw nabytych i interesów w toku oraz uzasadnionych oczekiwań. Brak takich reguł nie usprawiedliwia organów podatkowych i sądów w pomijaniu wydanych wcześniej interpretacji oraz utrwalonej wykładni i praktyki. Tak więc przy tego rodzaju lukach prawnych organy podatkowe, w pełni respektując zasady legalizmu, równości i powszechności opodatkowania, powinny kierować się zasadą zaufania.

Los delitos del estallido social y el rol de la Defensoría Penal Pública en Chile en 2019
Authors: Farías Javiera , Fernández José Manuel , Pascual Tomás , Rojas Hugo
Published: May 2023

La Constitución y el Código Procesal Penal, además de los tratados internacionales ratificados por Chile, obligan al Estado a ofrecer asistencia jurídica gratuita a quienes lo requieran, lo cual es especialmente relevante en el ámbito penal. Con ocasión de la revuelta o el estallido social ocurrido en Chile entre el último trimestre de 2019 y comienzos de 2020, la Defensoría Penal Pública adoptó un conjunto de medidas para ofrecer defensa jurídica a quienes eran detenidos o formalizados por los órganos de persecución penal. En esta investigación se compara el comportamiento delictual en el país entre los años 2017 y 2021, y se identifican los delitos del estallido social. Se trata de un conjunto de delitos cuyas frecuencias aumentaron considerablemente en los meses convulsionados: a) robos en lugar no habitado, b) desórdenes públicos, c) alteraciones al orden público, y d) atentados y amenazas contra la autoridad. El volumen y las especificidades de los delitos del estallido social pusieron a prueba a todo el sector justicia y, al hacerlo, posibilitaron la generación de creencias sobre la legitimidad del sistema de justicia penal. En contextos de disturbios sociales, el surgimiento de dichas creencias parece especialmente importante porque puede incrementar la percepción de injusticia, potenciando el malestar social que da origen a dichos disturbios. Por ello, se explican las reacciones operativas desplegadas en la Defensoría para asegurar servicios oportunos de defensa penal. También se destacan aquellas buenas prácticas de la Defensoría que podrían robustecerse institucional y normativamente para que el sector justicia esté mejor preparado para enfrentar fenómenos criminológicos complejos o no habituales, como los ocurridos durante el estallido social.
Migraciones, religiones y derecho: la tradición de la Iglesia siria oriental «nestoriana» (siglos V-XXI)
Authors: Cellurale Mariateresa
Published: May 2023

Regímenes religiosos de normatividad que pertenecen a tradiciones no católicas del cristianismo, propias de la historia de Asia, dieron forma, entre la Antigüedad y los inicios de la Edad Moderna, a entramados sociales, jurídicos y culturales que no es posible identificar y comprender desde la perspectiva binaria del Kulturkampf entre «Oriente» y «Occidente». En particular, la tradición de la Iglesia «nestoriana» siria oriental, que se difundió por toda Asia Central, desde Mesopotamia y Persia hasta India y China, adelantándose por mucho a las misiones católicas y protestantes de los siglos XIV, XVI y XIX, desafía los paradigmas del análisis poscolonial. La Iglesia siria oriental nació de la persecución de los seguidores de Nestorio y Teodoro de Mopsuestia, marginalizados en el Imperio romano; y se estableció en la Mesopotamia oriental, unificándose bajo el katholikós, como denominación independiente, desde el año 410. Sus documentos y monumentos jurídicos y litúrgicos, en diversas lenguas, reflejan una cultura original y autónoma, surgida inicialmente del estigma herético, e independiente de toda agenda papal o imperial. Sus cuerpos teológico y litúrgico, y sobre todo sus textos jurídicos, forman una construcción transnacional, no exclusivamente confesional, abierta a la hibridación. Asimismo, sus ordenamientos jurídicos y litúrgicos, que se desarrollaron y difundieron durante ocho siglos de migraciones, comercio, actividad misional y literaria (escritura y traducción) sobre las Rutas de la Seda, proveyeron gobierno y justicia para cristianos (y gentiles) que pertenecían a muchos pueblos y habitaban territorios diversos. La tradición cristiana «nestoriana», construida con vocación comunitaria más que institucional, es auténticamente «oriental». Su Iglesia sobrevive entre nosotros, confirmada y reforzada en sus estructuras jurisdiccionales y pastorales, y a la vez incomprendida en cuanto a su papel y lugar en la historia de Asia. Amenazada y oprimida, se enfrenta hoy al olvido, la dispersión y la aniquilación.
Climate Smart Livestock Production - Call for Food Security: A Review
Authors: Pampori Zahoor A. , Sheikh Aasif. A
Published: May 2023

Climate change is no more a myth but a reality supported by scientific evidence. The rapid change in environmental green house gases post industrialization is one such indicator responsible for global warming. Atmospheric concentrations of core GHGs carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide have increased by 43%, 154% and 21%, respectively between 1750 to 2013. Similarly global average air temperature has increased from 0.74 in 1906 to 1.2°C in 2020 and sea level by 8 inches in last century, besides increased frequency in natural hazards like floods, draughts, cloud bursts, storms, typhoons and heat waves. The changing climate has negative impacts on human life as well as on livestock. However, livestock is believed to be the main contributor of methane, an important green house gas with 21 times more global warming potential in comparison to carbon dioxide. Since human population has tremendously increased and is further expected to increase by 33% till 2050 and at the same time due to urbanization, improved incomes and increased purchasing capacity, the demand for food of animal origin is increasing. In order to have food and nutritional security the production of livestock products is a necessity. Therefore, on one hand increase in livestock production and on the other hand minimizing the GHG emissions, the livestock sector warrants climate smart livestock production which will encompass climate resilient, environmentally sustainable, economically viable production of nutritious, safe, affordable livestock food and products.

Authors: Hussin Mohamad , Salleh Hanan , Supriyatno Triyo
Published: May 2023

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of using the Mysūr website to improve students’ Arabic grammar skills. Previous studies have shown that students have poor grammar proficiency due to the lack of quality teaching materials and the neglect of modern technological elements in learning. Therefore, an interactive, efficient, and flexible website was developed based on multimedia technology and self-interactivity. Users can use the provided materials anytime, anywhere. Thirty-two students were selected through targeted sampling and pretesting, 10-week intervention, and post-intervention testing to assess the approach's effectiveness. The mean difference between the pretest and posttest measures the effectiveness of the developed website-based learning approach. The study results showed improved performance for each of the revealed grammatical elements. This indicates a significant relationship between the learning approaches and students’ grammatical proficiency. The study’s conclusions show that courses to learning supported by multimedia technology and meeting current needs are interactive, easily accessible, and help improve student achievement.
Digital Intercultural Education: A Comparative Study of Self-Access Learning Experiences
Authors: Humphreys Gareth
Published: May 2023

Objectives: Two sets of intercultural learning resources incorporating Global Englishes learning content were developed for self-access use in the higher education context. The resources were investigated in terms of student learning experiences across two contexts in Japan: an English language major program and a nonlanguage major program. The aim was to develop an understanding of student learning experiences to inform practical implications for self-access learning in these areas. Method: The educational resources were investigated in a qualitative content analysis of reflective writing and supporting survey data from 30 students across the two university programs to understand how (and if) they supported student learning as well as how the resources and form of learning were perceived by the students. Results: Resources in both universities led to similar learning outcomes, showing that self-access resources can support intercultural and Global Englishes learning. A longer time requirement was necessitated by one set of resources, which was criticised by students. Students also indicated a preference for collaborative learning aspects. Conclusions: This pedagogically focused article contributes to the discussion around digital resources for intercultural and Global Englishes learning. Short-form resources integrating these areas may be more effective for self-access learning than resources requiring multiweek commitments in both language and nonlanguage major programs. Aspects of collaborative learning in self-access engagement appealed to students. Implication for Theory and/or Practice: Carefully designed short resources based on the conceptual framework and on recommendations outlined in this article may lead to effective self-access student learning, particularly in resources involving collaborative work.

International Organizations’ Role in Sanctions in Russia-Ukraine Crisis: Participants or Observers?
Authors:   East European and Balkan Institute, Shipova Ekaterina
Published: May 2023

The frequency of application of sanctions at the modern stage is increasing because of the globalization of international processes and economic integration, due to the spread of threats of armed conflicts and terrorism. It seems important to assess the role of international organizations in the sanctions policy against Russia in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. Since 2014, more than 29,000 sanctions of various nature have been applied against Russia and its citizens making it the most sanctioned state in the world. These actions took place under the close attention of a number of international organizations. In connection with these circumstances and considering that Russia is a prominent participant in many kinds of international organizations, it is important to evaluate the role of international organizations in the sanctions policy against Russia.
In this paper, we will examine the idea that international organizations (IOs) can play two key roles in a sanctions process: a participant or an observer. The data reflects the dynamics of the sanctions before and after February 22, i.e. tied to the start of Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine.

Authors:   East European and Balkan Institute, Youn Ik Joong , Melnikov Yury
Published: May 2023

The main aim of this paper is to analyze how Russia's energy policy in the field of sustainable energy has changed over the past decades. At the same time, this article assesses the technical and economic potential based on published studies and analyzes the opportunities and limitations that the energy transition creates for Russian policymakers. For this purpose, the role and place of sustainable energy in the energy sector of Russia, the largest energy supplier in the world, whose economy is now completely dependent on the export of fossil energy resources, is analyzed in a more detailed way. The article demonstrates that the focus on technological development is the main factor for regulators when taking energy policy measures in relation to nu-clear, hydro, wind and solar energy, as well as the hydrogen economy. The paper concludes that it is highly likely that this focus will continue for the foreseeable future, but can be supplemented by intentions to keep energy prices low and achieve ambitious climate targets.
History of Russia’s Advance into Siberia: Focusing on the 1st Amur Expedition
Authors:   East European and Balkan Institute, Moon Joonil
Published: May 2023

After Ermak left the Siberian expedition in the 16th century, Russia had already reached the Sea of Okhotsk in the first half of the 17th century. In the process, an expedition led by V. Poyarkov and E. Khabarov surveyed vast territories in the Priamourie region and began subjugating the territory. This expansion of Russia caused a conflict with China, which was on the way to advance, and as a result, the border line was cleared by signing the Treaty of Nerchinsk with China in 1689. In the process, Russia lost sovereignty over the Amur River basin. Afterwards, the most important issue of Russian international politics in the Far East was the recovery of the Amur coastal region lost after the Treaty of Nerchinsk. The Russian government tried several times after 1689 to establish more precise borders with China, but the threat of cessation of trade with China made things difficult. The Amur River is the only passage from Siberia to the Pacific Ocean. However, in order to be able to connect the Siberian inland with the Pacific Ocean, ships must be able to operate in the Amur River estuary. This is because it must be able to navigate through the mouth of the Amur River in the Pacific Ocean to have a function as a transportation route. Prior to the 19th century exploration of Nevelskoy, several expeditions had concluded that the mouth of the Amur River was navigable and that Sakhalin was a peninsula. However, questioning this, the young officer Nebelskoy proceeds with an independent exploration without government permission and eventually makes a discovery that overturns his previous conclusions. This paper examines the process and contents of Nevelskoy’s Amur exploration, which has a very important meaning in Russia's advance into Siberia, and tries to derive its meaning.
Hungarian Primitive Religion and Shamanistic Epic
Authors:   East European and Balkan Institute, Lee Sang-Dong
Published: May 2023

The main elements of Hungarian primitive religion are based on Eurasian shamanism. Similarities are found in the shamanistic folk cultures of the Mansis and the Hantis, the closest relatives in the Ugric language family, and the Samoyeds in northeast Siberia. However, after the acceptance of Christianity, Hungarian shamanism gradually declined under the Christianization policy of the Hungarian national ideology. During this period, as a social class system was consolidated in Hungary, folk beliefs were practiced among the serfs and peasants, who made up the majority of the population. Shamanism continued in Hungarians’ lives as the Kumans and the Jassics, Turkic tribes with shamanistic cultures, later migrated from Central Asia to Hungary.
This study analyzes Hungarian primitive religion in association with studies of shamans by investigating the role, function, and characteristics of the shaman as distinct from those of other beings with supernatural power, focusing on research on ancient Hungarian beliefs and folk beliefs after the Hungarian acceptance of Christianity, which bears close connections with research on shamans. Moreover, the shamanistic aspect of the Hungarian is examined regarding connections with primitive religion. Táltos, a figure in Hungarian folk beliefs, appeared not only in the people's daily lives but also in oral literature and folk rituals; as a valuable supernatural being. This study also examines the lyrics, content, rhythm, structure, meaning, ideology, and religious consciousness in táltos' shamanic songs. It is expected that the meaning of the structural archetypes of Hungarian primitive religion and shaman song analyzed in this study will contribute to opening a new horizon of comparative folklore and cross-cultural study in Korea.

Authors: Nugrahaningsih Isro Vita
Published: May 2023

A profession that in carrying out its duties, functions and authorities requires an ethics, so does a Notary. So the code of ethics is used as a guideline for the behavior of members of the profession in acting and behaving. The existence of a Notary code of ethics aims to make the Notary profession run professionally with motivation and orientation to intellectual skills as well as rational and critical argumentation as well as upholding moral values. So that the notary in carrying out his position is supervised by the Notary Honorary Council, because this supervisory function is very necessary so that the Notary does not ignore the nobility and dignity of his profession. Writing this article aims to identify, examine and analyze the role of the Honorary Board in maintaining the honor of the position of Notary Public by upholding a code of ethics. This writing uses a normative juridical approach, using primary and secondary legal sources. Primary legal materials are obtained from laws and regulations and secondary legal materials are obtained from library materials, archives, and documents related to the object of research. The results of the discussion show that the position of the Honorary Board in the Notary organization has a strategic and important role in enforcing the code of ethics as an effort to maintain the honor of a notary. The Ethics Council will supervise so that there are no violations committed by the Notary, such as signing the deed without dealing with the client and the Notary, Setting substandard rates, Carrying out efforts that can lead to unfair competition, Name sign issues and changing addresses are not reported. The obstacles faced by the Honorary Council were the increasing number of Notaries, the formation of the Honorary Council which only numbered three people and was collective in nature. The Honorary Council in enforcing the Notary's code of ethics identifies, evaluates and improves the supervisory system for Notaries so that violations of the code of ethics can be minimized, the Honorary Council makes strategic steps to be implemented and used according to the objectives to be achieved.

HEADLINE INFLATION AND CONSUMERS’ CONFIDENCE IN NIGERIA
Authors: Aberu Felix
Published: May 2023

Introduction: The Nigerian economy experienced a significant growth turning point in early 2000 after returning to democratic rule in 1999. Nonetheless, the country's strong economic growth has done little to address the issues such as poverty, inequality, unemployment, the exchange rate, inflation, and interest rate spread. As a result, consumer confidence falls, resulting in lower spending.
Methods: The ARDL model was used to highlight the importance of consumer confidence (household spending) and inflation in Nigeria using data from the cbn survey of consumer expectations from 1996 to 2022.
Results: The findings show that a unit increase in headline inflation corresponds to a 0.01 increase in consumer confidence, implying that consumers lose 99.99 percent of their confidence at every point of increase in headline inflation, indicating that headline inflation is a core determinant of consumption in Nigeria.
Conclusion and suggestion: In light of the study's findings, the federal government should consider raising the nation's minimum wage, among other policy options, in order to increase household consumption expenditures. Furthermore, Nigerian government policies should address disparities in consumption among the citizenries.

Authors: Pratama Aldi Adi , Bayyinah Aulia Nabil , Ramadhana Rakha
Published: May 2023

Introduction: The economic management system is based on the principle of economic actors, tending to focus on the needs, comfort and health of consumers. It is very incomplete, if it is not environmentally oriented when the product is no longer used. The purpose of this study is to find out whether green peace campaigns can influence the choice of non-environmentally friendly products on consumer demand. This research is also expected to be able to make an evaluation for the XYZ company in developing products, based on balancing consumer demand with the environment
Methods: The method used in this research is using a closed questionnaire data processing approach, and includes the interview method, in analyzing why the respondent chose a particular answer
Results: The selection of product D with non-environmentally friendly packaging and components, still has the highest purchase rate of 1,9. Followed by the second-ranking of product B from the second statement with non-environmentally friendly packaging often purchased at 1,8; the third-ranking product A from the first statement with environmentally friendly packaging is purchased more often at 1,3; and the last ranking of product C from the third statement with environmentally friendly packaging and components is often purchased at 1,2.
Conclusion and suggestion: The concept of selecting relatively cheaper costs, is said to still be the main product choice for consumer behavior, even though it has non-environmentally friendly risks. Data processing also shows that the selection of environmentally friendly products with more expensive costs is less chosen by consumers.

Methods: Sharia governance is measured using CEO duality proxies and board size, whereas liquidity is measured using DAR, bank size is calculated using the logarithm of total assets, and bank efficiency is measured using three proxies: managerial efficiency, expenses, and profits. The information was compiled from annual financial reports 2016–2021 of 14 Indonesian Islamic commercial banks. Multiple linear regression and testing of conventional hypotheses are used to process the data in SPSS 25.
Results: The results of the hypothesis testing indicate that factors affecting management effectiveness are board size, CEO duality, bank size, and liquidity.
Conclusion and suggestion: The observation period of the previous five years can be used in future studies to add measurement indicators to corporate governance factors. In order to acquire more varied results with distinct settings of bank efficiency between conventional banks and Islamic banks, study samples might be used that come from conventional banks in addition to these other choices.

Introduction: Adolescents often have difficulty adjusting to their surroundings. Coping and family support are also associated with this adjustment. However, the relationship between the aforementioned factors and adjustment among adolescents with parents who work as migrant workers remains unclear. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between coping and family support with the adjustment of adolescents who have parents who work as migrant workers.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. A total of 70 early adolescents with parents working as migrant workers were recruited from the total sample. In this study, coping strategies and family social support were assigned as independent variables, while the dependent variable was the adjustment of adolescents who had parents as migrant workers. The questionnaire was used to measure the outcome of interest and tested for validity and reliability. The data analysis in this study used Spearman Rho. Spearman’s Rho correlation with alpha, α set ≤ 0.05, was used to analyze the data.
Results: The results indicate that Coping strategies (p = 0.018; r = 0.283) and family support (p = 0.001; r = 0.380) were associated with adolescent adjustment.
Conclusions: Both coping strategies and family support contribute to the adjustment of adolescents whose parents work as migrant workers. There is a need to increase the priority of psychosocial counseling for adolescents who have parents working as migrant workers and educate their families to increase attention and support appropriate adolescent development.

Introduction: Little is known about the cognitive and emotional perceptions of patients with mild traumatic brain injury, although studies showed patients experiencing difficulties in cognitive functioning and psychological impacts following their injury. This systematic review aims to identify the current literature regarding illness representation dimensions in mild traumatic brain injury and their related factors.
Methods: A search of electronic databases was completed using PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, and Web of Science, which were published from 2002 to April 2020. Studies were assessed for quality and bias, and data were analyzed using narrative synthesis.
Results: The initial search yielded 155 studies, and ten were included. The results showed that patients had negative perceptions toward their mild traumatic brain injury. Some dimensions of illness representation were found to have relationships to their post-concussion symptoms, post-traumatic stress disorder, and quality of life of mild traumatic brain injury patients.
Conclusions: The illness representations can be applied to such patients because it is able to explain symptoms and related factors that indicate their recovery process. The findings help trauma nurses to build interventions based on the dimensions of illness representations to generate appropriate perceptions after injury, and may to enhance the recovery process and outcomes.

Аннотация. Стремительное развитие различных приложений и сервисов, использующих текущее LBS-местонахождение пользователя и краудсорсинг, нуждаются в постоянном совершенствовании методов позиционирования с целью повышения точности местоположения. Особого внимания заслуживают задачи локального позиционирования пользователей внутри помещений в условиях высокой концентрации пользователей и наличия сложностей при распространении радиосигналов. Сравнительный анализ известных методов локального позиционирования IPS доказывает преимущество использования метода Fingerprinting по критерию точности позиционирования. Предложен метод позиционирования пользователя в сети Indoor, основанный на методе Fingerprinting и комплексной сплайн-аппроксимации. Для позиционирования использована комплексная сплайн-аппроксимация на базе квадратичного плоского сплайна, приведен пример расчета коэффициентов комплексного сплайна и его построения. Показано, что использование предлагаемого метода обеспечивает повышение точности позиционирования пользователя в сети Indoor, обеспечивая тем самым предоставление LВS-ориентированных услуг пользователям в помещениях.

Indonesia, which has tectonic conditions in the form of a large meeting point of the world's plates and several small plates, makes the region in Indonesia the center of earthquake occurrences and earthquake-resistant buildings are an absolute necessity. Eccentrically Braced Frames (EBFs) are a model of earthquake-resistant steel building structures that can limit inelastic behavior only to link elements, where the use of these links, especially replaceable links, can facilitate post-earthquake building repairs without having to reconstruct the main building. This study will analyze the stability, behavior, performance levels, and energy dissipation capabilities of six EBF models by combining vertical link and horizontal link configurations for different building height classifications, namely low, medium, and high buildings. Analysis uses the Response Spectrum Analysis and Pushover Analysis methods with the help of structural analysis software. From this analysis, 3-storey H-EBF has the highest stability, 10-storey V-EBF has the fastest time to reach the first yielding condition and consumes the most energy, 3-storey V-EBF has the highest ductility, and 3-storey H-EBF has the highest stiffness. highest. However, the performance level of all EBFs is in the form of Immediate Occupation and similar collapse mechanisms.
