Customs and Tariff Policy of Tsarism in Northern Azerbaijan During the Moderate Patronage Tariff Policy In Russia (1850-1877)
Authors: Guliyev Ramin
Published: September 2023

: In the middle of the 19th century, reforms in the field of customs and tariffs were necessary for the development of capitalist relations and industry in the Russian Empire. In particular, the idea of gradually abandoning the protectionist policy appeared by making changes in the customs-tariff policy. Important customs and tariff reforms were implemented in Russia in the context of political and economic interests in 1850- 1877. After the military conquest of the South Caucasus by the Russian Empire the economic conquest of the territory commenced by the tsarist government. From the middle of the 19th century, the Russian Empire began to implement new customs-tariff policy and structural reforms in Azerbaijan. The article states the process of gradually abandoning the strict protectionism policy in the South Caucasus, starting from the end of the 1840s. The moderate protectionist tariff was applied to the Azerbaijani customs offices either late or with certain restrictions. Moreover, the implementation of the Russian moderate tariff policy in Transcaucasia, including Azerbaijan is studied.
RELIGION AND POLITICAL POWER IN THE CAUCASIAN ALBANIA PRIOR TO AND DURING THE ARAB CONQUESTS
Authors:   Baku State University, Aliyeva Lala
Published: September 2023

This paper examines the impact of 7th century political and military developments in the region on the position of the Caucasian Albanian Church. Holding a weak position among the common people, who preserved ancient traditions, the Caucasian Albanian Church proved unable to maintain its position after the Arab conquest, which created new political conditions. Prior to and during the Arab conquest the struggle between dyophysitism and monophysitism created uncertainty and weakened the status of Christianity in the region. Studies show that the Caucasian Albanian Church was an adherent of monothelitism and maintained close ties with Byzantium and the Georgian Orthodox Church throughout most of the Mihranid dynasty’s reign. However, with the strengthening of the Arab Caliphate during Umayyad rule, the political situation changed and the Armenian Church, holding good relations with the Caliphate, achieved the subordination of the Caucasian Albanian Church. The study reveals a number of reasons for the weakening and subordination of the Albanian Church to the Armenian.
New Economic Order - Bretton Woods System After The World War II
Authors: Eynalizade Malahat
Published: September 2023

An agreement between the United States and the United Kingdom led to the founding of the International Monetary Fund and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development in July 1944 in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. The Bretton Woods institutions were created and put into place thanks in large part to American economic leadership, which reflected the country’s dominant position in the world’s diplomacy and economy in the years following World War II. A pattern of institutionalized multilateral cooperation that has come to be one of the defining characteristics of the post-World War II international political economy was undoubtedly influenced by the climate of international cooperation that emerged at Bretton Woods and persisted for decades afterward.
THE MAIN COURSE OF THE FOREIGN POLICY OF ILKHANATE RULER MAHMUD GHAZAN KHAN
Authors: Nasirov Nurlan
Published: September 2023

The reign of Ghazan Khan (1295-1304) occupies an important place in the history of the Ilkhanid dynasty. The religious and other socio-economic reforms, he carried out, changed the nature of the state, which was reflected in foreign policy. Despite the fact that he was a Muslim and used the name of the Prophet Mahmud, his foreign policy continued the traditional path of the Ilkhans before him, which is clearly reflected in the sources. Thus, like his non-Muslim predecessors, he continued his wars with the Mamluks of Egypt and the Ulus of Jochi for economic interests and the mission of leading the Muslim world, and did not stop the traditional diplomatic correspondence with the Christian Western world. Although he refused titles and attributes, which were considered formal signs of submission to the Supreme Mongol Khan, he paid attention to maintaining relations with Beijing at the economic level, but serious conflicts with his other relatives, the Jaghatai, over Khorasan were inevitable. Based on the primary sources of the period and the modern researcher works, the article comprehensively reexamines the main directions of the foreign policy of the period of Mahmud Ghazan Khan, "Padishah-e Islam"
Deciphering Maritime Students-Based Standpoints on Sexual Ethics
Authors: Romagos Allan P , Gimarangan Rommel T , Sagayno Renato C , Rosada Jr. Raymundo , Boniao Gaspar P , Margallo Danilo L
Published: September 2023

Standpoints on sexual issues are viewed from several angles. When acted upon, these standpoints are beneficial to the individual and others, but some results may be detrimental. Many studies have been conducted about students’ stances concerning masturbation, pornography, homosexual sex, premarital sex, and extramarital sex. Still, there is no existing study about sexual standpoints based on maritime students, even in the Philippines. This study assessed the sexual ethical perspectives of the 360 first-year maritime students of the University of Cebu for S.Y. 2020-2021. This study has used the descriptive-quantitative survey method. The frequency counts, the simple percentages, the weighted means, and the standard deviations were calculated. The questionnaire was adopted from the study. Data revealed that most respondents were uncertain whether pornography is immoral, disagreed with the idea that masturbation is immoral, agreed with the notion that homosexual sex and premarital sex are immoral, and strongly agreed on the immorality of extramarital sex. There is a correlation between gender and the respondents’ standpoints on masturbation but not pornography, homosexual sex, premarital sex, and extramarital sex. Further, there is no significant relationship between age and the respondents’ standpoints. This study will contribute to the body of knowledge in so far as it will provide facts and figures to help the government and ethics teachers of the Philippines to promote the use of books and the creation of teaching materials that include sexuality and its implications to prepare Filipino maritime students to face future sexual moral challenges.

Authors:   Department of Computer Science and Application, Government First Grade College for Women, Jamkhandi, India, Hiremath Shrikant , Shreenidhi B. ,   Department of Computer Science, Karnataka Science College, Dharwad, India
Published: September 2023

Traffic safety is enhanced by immediate lane-line monitoring and recognition in advanced driving assistance systems. A new method of recognizing and continuous monitoring lane lines using the Hough transform is proposed in this study. A vehicle is equipped with a camera that takes pictures of the road, which are then processed to enhance the visibility of the lane lines. Hough transforms applied to preprocessed images allow the system to recognize lane lines. In order to ensure continuous monitoring of lane lines, the Kalman filter has been used in the study. A comprehensive set of real-time driving scenarios is used to assess the performance of the proposed system in Python using OpenCV. The results of the trial demonstrate the system’s viability and efficacy.

AN EXAMINATION OF WOMEN THINKERS WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED SOCIOLOGICALLY, PSYCHOLOGICALLY OR PHILOSOPHICALLY TO EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS FROM A FEMINIST PERSPECTIVE
Authors: ALTINTAŞ Hilal , DEMİRTAŞ Zeynep , VURAL Ömer Faruk
Published: September 2023

This study is a research conducted by using the document analysis technique, one of the qualitative research methods, in order to examine women thinkers who have contributed to curriculum studies in sociological, psychological or philosophical terms by revealing the place of women in education throughout history. Although there are many scientists who have contributed to the field of educational programs, nine women who are considered to have contributed the most are included in the research. These women are Hypatia, Mary Wollstonecraft, Jane Addams, Maria Montessori, Melanie Klein, Hilda Taba, Nel Noddings, Jane Roland Martin and Fatma Varış from Turkey. As a result of the research, the following results emerged. Although there are women who have contributed to education programs, their number is not very high in the history of education. This is due to the fact that women's rights to education were taken away from them or that women's actions and thoughts are considered insignificant in historiography. It is also a fact that their work is often overshadowed. Nevertheless, the research shows that these women scientists have carried out important studies in many fields such as learning processes, curriculum development and teaching methods. Hypatia's experimental-based understanding of education pioneered the creation of content. Mary Wollstonecraft's views on the importance of individual development and physical activities in education were included in the programs. Addams' experimental studies, the idea that these experiments should go from concrete to abstract and that students should establish activities with each other have been guiding the development of educational programs. The Montessori method continues to be applied in many schools. Her ideas contribute to the determination of materials in the preparation of programs. Klein's developmental stages have guided the design of parent programs and the content of the programs. Taba's curriculum development model, which adopts an inductive approach and consists of eight stages, is still used in curriculum development studies today. Noddings' views were utilized in determining the aims of education and paved the way for raising more democratic and tolerant individuals. Martin's ideas have been useful in making education programs emphasize the equality of women and men in education. While Varış's curriculum stages and his emphasis on this subject are still used in curriculum development studies today, she has also been a pioneer with his egalitarian and secular views.

New opportunities for the development of construction and demolition waste in the construction industry in Hong Kong under the circular economy framework
Authors: Hou Wenxi , Choi Hee Sun (Sunny)
Published: September 2023

Hong Kong's overall construction waste accounts for approximately 23% of its total solid waste. As the aging rate of buildings accelerates in Hong Kong, the number of buildings reaching 50 years old is projected to increase from 8,700 in 2020 to 13,900 by 2030. Recently, deteriorating older buildings have become potential sources of construction and demolition waste, leading to a significant rise in the total amount of construction waste. Traditionally, Hong Kong has managed construction waste by using it as landfill material or burying it, but such practices are unsustainable in a city where land resources are scarce. To alleviate the growing volume of construction and demolition waste, a circular economy approach emerges as a solution. However, there is a lack of research on implementing a circular economy model that treats construction and demolition waste as secondary building materials in the construction industry. This study focuses on the Tseung Kwan O landfill site as a case study, analyzing predominantly concrete waste generated from existing construction waste. The research explores how abandoned concrete can be effectively recycled and repurposed as a material. Additionally, it examines the integration of circular economy principles into the industry. The study concludes that incorporating recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) as a component in the construction industry's circular economy is feasible and environmentally beneficial. The establishment of a comprehensive management system for construction and demolition waste is a crucial first step towards realizing a circular economy in Hong Kong. This research provides a framework for formulating waste management policies in the construction sector, enhancing collaborative processes among stakeholders, and aiding relevant authorities in regulating construction activities.
Extraer y remontar: archivos bajo sospecha en la obra de Agustina Wetzel, Maia Navas y Pablo Weber
Authors: Boido Pablo Salvador
Published: September 2023

El trabajo propone un acercamiento a las obras de tres realizadores emergentes de Argentina: Agustina Wetzel, Maia Navas y Pablo Martín Weber. Sus producciones se caracterizan por una narrativa ensayística fundada en el remontaje del archivo audiovisual. Sus piezas se distinguen por la circulación que tienen ya que transitan distintos espacios expositivos como museos, galerías de arte y festivales cinematográficos, entre otros. Estas ocupan un lugar insular dentro del campo artístico contemporáneo sin anclarse a un espacio fijo, navegando entre distintos formatos exhibitivos. En sus trabajos proponen una reflexión sobre las imágenes que producen los dispositivos digitales que registran nuestro mundo actual. Allí aparecen Google Earth, YouTube, filmaciones de drones, imágenes militares e incluso el registro de cámaras de sondas espaciales. Cada artista extrae estos diversos materiales de internet y conforma su propio acervo para luego remontarlo de modo novedoso. Wetzel hace una crítica al modelo securitario de nuestra sociedad. Weber deriva por los archivos infinitos de la red proponiendo una meditación sobre la ontología de estas imágenes. Navas bucea en el pasado y edita los documentos que atestiguan la represión sobre los pueblos originarios del Chaco para contraponerlos a las imágenes del presente de ese territorio.
Entre la línea y la matriz. Andrea Brunotti, María Gimeno y las formas intermediales de reescribir la historia del arte
Authors: Gil Sabrina
Published: September 2023

Este trabajo revisa producciones artísticas contemporáneas que, desde prácticas intermediales, proponen reescrituras de la historia del arte desde perspectivas feministas. Nos detenemos en la performance "Queridas viejas" de María Gimeno y en la serie "Labores feministas" de Andrea Brunotti. Entendemos que buscan reformular el paradigma moderno que organiza un canon de singularidades y figuras excepcionales. Sostenemos que Gimeno enriquece el canon y Brunotti lo reinventa. El arte como reescritura de la historia del arte habilita, también, una reflexión sobre la intermedialidad, más allá de la experimentación interartística e intermedios, hacia la interrelación y el cruce entre práctica artística, teoría, crítica e historia.

Purpose: Intestinal inflammation can affect the absorption of micronutrients from the bowel, which can lead to maternal malnutrition and adverse pregnancy outcomes. This study aimed to measure fecal myeloperoxidase (MPO) levels as a biomarker of inflammation in pregnant women and explore risk factors for low birth weight in the slum area of the Tallo District, Makassar City.
Method: This study used a retrospective cohort study design with a purposive sample of 172 pregnant women. Stool specimens were collected and tested using a human myeloperoxidase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit. Data were collected through interviews using the Kobo Toolbox.
Result: The median fecal myeloperoxidase level in pregnant women was 24.2 ng/ml. The correlation with low birth weight was insignificant (r = -0.0037, p = 0.96). Based on bivariate analysis, the risk factors significantly associated with low birth weight were first parity (RR = 2.8 (95% CI: 1.3-6.4), and preterm birth (RR = 3.9 (95% CI: 1.9-8.3), while the multivariate analysis showed that the most significant risk variable for low birth weight was preterm birth (ARR = 4.9 (95% CI: 2.6-9.1).
Conclusion: This study found that gestational age at birth was significantly associated with low birth weight in infants. There was no significant association with fecal myeloperoxidase level in the pregnant mother.

Published: September 2023

Image processing and embedded systems are used in many applications such as object recognition, robotic applications, autonomous and remote control systems developed for the defense industry, medical applications, face recognition, and vehicle license plate recognition. Many vehicle license number plate detection methods are not effective under vehicle license plate images have a degree of rotation or low resolution images. Thus, we used MVSR normalization algorithm to detect vehicle license plate recognition for better accuracy and lower computational cost. The MVSR normalization algorithm, Mean–Variance-Softmax-Rescale processes respectively is applied for high-accuracy real-time vehicle license plate detection.
Research Informed Guidelines for Couple and Relationship Education
Programs with Arab American Immigrant Couples
Authors: Almalki Sarah , Ganong Lawrence
Published: September 2023

In this paper, we review the characteristics of Arab
immigrants and propose guidelines for couple and relationship education (CRE) programs
with Arab immigrant couples. Arab immigrants are a heterogeneous group, yet they share
common cultural characteristics and family values that are essential to understand when
working with them. Generally, CRE programs with immigrated Arabs should be mindful of
(1) strongly valued religious beliefs, (2) extended family as a primary source of
support and marital problem-solving, (3) the tendency to follow gender-based roles and
responsibilities, and (4) Arabic language and communication norms. Family educators and
practitioners who work with recently immigrated Arab couples should familiarize
themselves with these characteristics to better serve them.
Cost of Care Conversations: Perspectives from Rural Health Care Providers
and Older Adult Patients
Authors: Franck Karen L. , Sneed Christopher , Washburn Lisa , Berry Ann , Niederhauser Victoria
Published: September 2023

Older adults often struggle with health care costs. Cost
of care (CoC) conversations are conversations between health care providers and patients
to discuss direct and indirect costs associated with health care. These conversations
have been found to increase patient compliance, but patients and health care providers
often do not have these discussions. This article describes a project to provide
Extension education to encourage CoC conversations for older adults and health care
providers in rural counties in a southern state. To inform educational material
development, 125 older adults and 51 health care providers completed surveys about their
cost-related barriers to health care, attitudes and frequency of CoC conversations, and
preferred educational methods. Older adults reported that they were most comfortable
discussing health care costs with physicians and pharmacists but that health care
providers rarely initiated these conversations. Health care providers indicated that
they were comfortable talking about health care costs with patients and reported that
they often initiate these conversations. Both older adults and health care providers
indicated fact sheets as a top educational method. This project demonstrates how
Extension educators can partner with health care providers to educate older adults about
communicating cost-related challenges and needs.

La dimensión emocional en el ejercicio del poder: una discusión teórica
Authors: Kuri Pineda Edith
Published: September 2023

En este artículo, se desarrolla una problematización teórica sobre la dimensión emocional del poder, específicamente, qué papel desempeñan los sentimientos en las relaciones sociales de poder y de dominación. A partir de la revisión de autores provenientes de la sociología de las emociones, la sociología política y de la filosofía política, se afirma cómo las emociones no solo cuentan con un carácter expresivo, sino también normativo e instrumental en la constitución y reproducción de las relaciones de poder a diversas escalas, así como en la estratificación social. Con base en la propuesta teórica de Arlie Hochschild, se expone cómo lo que he definido como reglas del sentir de la dominación y la obediencia ocupan un lugar relevante en los lazos sociales de mando-obediencia. Asimismo, se postulará cómo los sectores subalternos realizan un trabajo de elaboración emocional ante la imposibilidad de quebrantar las relaciones de poder. Finalmente, se plantea cómo sentimientos como el asco y el desprecio pueden servir para legitimar la desigualdad y el poder ejercido, y, en algunos casos, invisibilizarlos.

La propuesta analítica parte de conceptos sobre la memoria, siendo memorias de gobierno y otros documentos de archivo las fuentes primarias de la investigación. El objetivo es analizar las memorias y otra información documental relacionada con los cambios ocurridos en pueblos de Soconusco debido a la introducción del ferrocarril, identificando conflictos relacionados con ellos.
La legislación migratoria como conductora de la percepción social de las personas extranjeras irregulares en México
Authors: Rabasa Jofre Valentina
Published: September 2023

El objetivo del análisis es comprender la relación entre los procesos sociales legales (construcción de la norma) y no legales (dinámicas migratorias) en particular cómo los elementos jurídicos creados en contextos sociales específicos han influido en la percepción que la sociedad tiene del extranjero. La metodología propone la conjugación de un análisis histórico-contextual y uno dogmático. Concluyo que las discrepancias entre la ley de iure y de facto se inscriben en las percepciones sociales construidas desde los albores de la nación mexicana fundada en la idea de ser una nación fuerte y homogénea y guiada principalmente por la legislación migratoria.
