Indo-Pacific Strategy Under a Second Donald Trump Presidency in the United States: Current Trajectory and Future Path
Authors: Motaher Mostakim Bin , Khaled Md. Farhan Intisher
Published: January 2025

The Indo-Pacific Strategy (IPS) has been a key US foreign policy goal during the 2010s. The strategy has evolved from a traditional 'Island Chain Strategy' to a more comprehensive approach that is grounded in security and values. Given Trump's explicitly hostile economic and security approach against China, the IPS has become more important than ever. This article examines the concept and development of the IPS under President Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden, and its probable evolution under Trump 2.0. It examines what Indo-Pacific nations expect from this policy and its implications under Trump. The IPS is a strategic asset for the US and its regional allies, including Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, and Australia. The results suggest that the IPS's mission has always been to build strong alliances based on democratic ideals, guarantee freedom of passage, and discourage regional dangers like Chinese and North Korean aggression (Grossman, 2024). The analysis concludes, based on political occurrences and pertinent data, that a second Trump administration may not change the IPS considerably. Trump may escalate his economic policies on China. The study concludes with policy recommendations to improve the IPS under Trump 2.0, including improved economic engagement with South and Southeast Asia, sustaining defense partnerships with Japan and South Korea, and addressing Pacific Island nations' environmental and developmental needs.

Published: January 2025

The United States' 'pivot to Asia' strategy has led to a weakening of the US hegemonic order in the region and to multipolarization, which has weakened the credibility of the alliance and created a second alliance dilemma. In response, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar have changed their policies to reduce their dependence on the US by diversifying their military cooperation partners and strengthening their military capabilities by developing their own defense industries.
These countries are strengthening cooperation through exchanges with South Korea, and the scale of defense cooperation between Korea and the Middle East has increased. In such a situation, it is important to take a long-term view and develop tailored export strategies.

Artificial lift aims to assist in lifting fluid from the bottom of the well (reservoir) to the surface. Well-X is a suspended well planned to be reactivated using an artificial lift suitable for further production operations. The water injection plant's availability as a power fluid supply makes the hydraulic jet pump an efficient artificial lift that can be operated on wells in this field. Hydraulic Jet Pump design planning requires well data, reservoir data, production data, fluid characteristic data, and Pressure, Volume, and Temperature for calculations with quantitative methods. The surface injection pressure parameter is subjected to sensitivity analysis to obtain the production rate that can be optimally produced under the Inflow Performance Relationship. The results of the study show that the surface injection pressure in the range of 500-800 psi does not intersect with the Inflow Performance Relationship Figure.

W. H. Auden’s Left-Wing Political Thinking and Its Impact on His Early Poetry
Authors: Liang Bin
Published: January 2025

Auden’s political thinking was rooted in the turbulent times of the 1930s. He chose to stand with the proletariat and paid attention to social realities. Marxism helped him better understand the background and causes of social problems, and find ways to diagnose and treat social ills. Under the influence of these left-wing political thoughts, Auden’s poetry showed criticism of the bourgeoisie, exploration of social issues, and a call for social change and struggle in terms of its content. In terms of the form of his poetic creation, this stance was manifested through what Auden termed “the hawk’s vision” and highly radical wording.

Compiler optimization is crucial in improving program performance by improving execution speed, reducing memory usage, and minimizing energy consumption. Nevertheless, modern compilers, such as LLVM, with their numerous optimization passes, present a significant challenge in identifying the most effective sequence for optimizing a program. This study addresses the complex problem of determining optimal compiler optimization sequences within the LLVM framework, which encompasses 64 optimization passes, causing in an immense search space of 264264. Identifying the ideal sequence for even simple code can be an arduous task, as the interactions between passes are intricate and unpredictable. The primary objective of this research is to utilize machine-learning techniques to predict effective optimization sequences that outperform the default -O2 and -O3 optimization flags. The methodology involves generating 2,000 sequences per program and picking the one that achieves the shortest execution time. Three machine learning models—K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Decision Tree (DT), and Feedforward Neural Network (FFNN)—were employed to predict the optimization sequences based on features extracted from programs during execution. The study used benchmarks from Polybench, Shootout, and Stanford suites, each with varying problem sizes, to validate the proposed technique. The results demonstrate that the KNN model produced optimization sequences with superior performance compared to DT and FFNN. On average, KNN achieved execution times that were 2.5 times faster than those achieved using the O3 optimization flag. This research contributes to the field by programming the process of selecting optimal compiler sequences, which significantly reduces execution time and eliminates the need for manual tuning. It highlights the potential of machine learning in compiler optimization, offering a robust and scalable approach to improving program performance and setting the foundation for future advancements in the domain.

A Cognitive View on Prominence Relations
Authors: Jitcă Doina
Published: January 2025

The present paper proposes a cognitive view on prominence relations of utterances by treating them as prosodic relations with weak-strong metrical structure. Considering this aspect, prosodic relations have a cognitive structure and a prominence structure, both of them reflecting the structures of cognitive relations generated at cortical level during the evocation of auditory objects corresponding to speech constituents. Ladd (2008) introduces two types of relations in the F0 contour description, prosodic and prominence relations, but we suggest a single type of relation between speech constituents, named prosodic relation, and consider it is in the same time a prominence relation due to its weak-strong metrical structure.  In section 2, the paper presents the cognitive model of information structure by defining the categories used for the description of cognitive and prominence structures of prosodic relations. In section 3, the cognitive and prominence structures of four utterances of the word permit as noun and verb, in descending and ascending F0 contours, are compared with those of four utterances of certain small statements and questions having words as constituents. All the contours mentioned are useful for understanding how utterances can be decomposed into binary hierarchies of prosodic relations with local or global prominent (strong) constituent, aiming to motivate researchers to take into account the cognitive interpretation of F0 contours.

In this paper, we put forward rough statistical φ-convergence of
difference sequences as a generalization of rough statistical convergence as well
as statistical φ-convergence. We study some of its fundamental properties. We
obtain some results for rough statistical φ-convergence for difference double sequences by introducing the rough statistical-φ limit set. So our main objective
is to find out the different behaviour of the new convergence concept based on
rough statistical-φ limit set.

Published: January 2025

Growing depletion of groundwater resources is a global threat and intensified under improper water valuation systems. Here, we proposed an irrigation water valuation framework based on the opportunity cost concept (IWVF), to better differentiate the value of surface water, renewable, and nonrenewable groundwater. In this study, a 10-years dataset was used in Marvdasht-Kharameh irrigation networks (MKINs) in southern Iran, where groundwater depletion overshoots the sustainable level with an annual average rate of 1.42 m y−1. Irrigation water use, net incomes and losses, and economic water productivities (EWP) were estimated under the common and newly developed valuation methods. The reflections of adopting IWVF on EWPs were assessed under current condition and the proposed WP improvement scenarios, including removing irrigation efficiency gaps, changing the cropping calendar, and application of different levels of deficit irrigation. Results showed that the value of irrigation water supply ($436.91 million) exceeds gross income through crop production ($139.01 million) under current condition, which results in a net loss of $297.9 million in the study area. Hence, economic WP loss will be −0.33 $ m−3, meaning that consuming a unit of blue water causes $0.33 income loss under current condition. Applying WP improvement scenarios can reduce value of irrigation water by 27%, and gross income by 5.3%. Accordingly, common WP can increase by 6.6% from 1.81 to 1.93 kg m−3. However, the negative sign of EWP loss under management scenarios (−0.22 $ m−3) indicates that crop production in the study area is not viable due to its considerable environmental damages. Hence, current irrigation system should be revisited when sustainable agriculture is considered. The proposed water valuation method can help decision makers to better assess the consequences of WP improvement strategies, if the true value of different water resources is ignored.

İŞÇİLİK ALACAKLARININ TAKASI
Authors: İşçi Bülent Ferat
Published: January 2025

Takas, 6098 sayılı Türk Borçlar Kanunu 139-145 maddeleri arasında düzenlenmiştir. Ancak bireysel iş kanunlarında takasa ilişkin bir düzenleme mevcut değildir. Takas diğer özel hukuk ilişkilerinde olduğu gibi, iş hukukunda önemli bir yere sahiptir. Her ne kadar, iş sözleşmesinde tarafların karşılıklı olarak üstlendikleri edim, aynı cins olmasa da bazı durumlarda, işçi ve işverenin iş ilişkisinden veya başka bir ilişkiden dolayı, karşılıklı para borcu-alacağı olmaktadır. Bu noktada, özellikle işverenin işçiden para alacağı olduğu durumda, takas kurumu gündeme gelmektedir. Ancak işçi alacağı, özellikle ücret alacağı işverene ve üçüncü kişilere karşı korunma altında olduğu için, kanun koyucu, iş hukukunda takasa ilişkin özel kısıtlamalar getirmiştir. Nitekim TBK m. 407/2, takas kurumunda genel olarak aranmayan “rıza” unsurunu, iş ilişkilerinde aramış ancak işçinin kasten sebebiyet verdiği yargı kararıyla sabit bir zarardan doğan alacakta “rıza” unsurunu aramamıştır. Öte yandan, söz konusu madde hükmü, “rıza”yı sadece ücret borcu kapsamında değerlendirmiştir. Bu kapsamda, işçinin alacağı tazminatlarda, takasın ne şekilde gerçekleşeceği açık değildir.
Çalışmada, öncelikle, takas kurumu ve takasın şartları kısaca incelenecek, daha sonra ise, TBK, İşK, BİK ve DİK’na tabi işçilerin ücretlerinin ve tazminatlarının takasa tabi tutulup tutulamayacağı ve söz konusu takasın şartları detaylıca incelenecektir.
