‘Caro’: Bad Bunny and the symbolic rupture of gender
Authors: Fouts Samuel C.
Published: August 2023

In early 2019, Bad Bunny, a leading urbano latino artist, released the music video to his song ‘Caro’. As a musical track, the song can easily be heard as standard Latin trap fare that centres the ostentatious masculinity of its protagonist. The video, however, definitively disrupts gendered/generic norms by layering the performances of Bad Bunny and Jazmyne Joy, a model featured in the role of Bad Bunny. Their dual performance of a single persona, deploying both drag and ventriloquism, challenges the perceived boundedness of gender and genre by calling into question the boundaries of the body itself. Gender and genre are treated here as conceptual sisters that afford the rupture of their respective boundaries in the elaborative act of performance. Thus, in ‘Caro’, the theories of Judith Butler and Georgina Born are generatively exemplified and mutually illuminated, affirming the contingency and performativity at the centre of both.
A vocality is about chords and contexts: The story of C. Krishnaveni and songmaking
Authors: Indraganti Kiranmayi
Published: August 2023

In writing the histories of film practitioners such as C. Krishnaveni, one recognizes the value of how their vocalities, literal and metaphoric, as observers, creative artistes and enablers are indicative of the form that cinema has historically taken within specific spaces of language and culture. This article reviews key themes and developments around the encoding of voices of early actors and singers, places their contribution in the cultural and linguistic context of South India and notes their historical position in innovating with cinematic technologies and creating new musical and narrative materials.
‘I’m not a 10-year-old girl anymore’: The voices, identities and careers of Got Talent’s mismatched girls
Authors: Morton Melissa
Published: August 2023

This article explores the stereotype of the ‘tiny girl with the big voice’ and discusses three singers, Jackie Evancho, Hollie Steel and Connie Talbot, who competed in televised talent competitions America’s Got Talent and Britain’s Got Talent at aged 10 or under during the early 2010s. Today, as adults in their twenties, the three women continue to pursue singing careers, navigating the public scrutiny that inevitably follows female child stars as they grow up. The first half of this article explores how the talent competitions framed the apparent incongruence between the young girls’ voices and bodies and their dehumanizing objectification in the press as ‘singing angels’ or ‘freaks’. Adapting a term from Jennifer Fleeger, the article describes these singers as ‘mismatched girls’. The second half of the article examines recent transformative moments in the adult lives of Evancho, Steel and Talbot that demonstrate how the women have used musical performances and social media to reimagine the relationship between their voices, bodies and identities. Managing their own careers and star texts as adults today, they transcend the ‘mismatched girl’ stereotype, refuting the cultural myth that certain voices inherently belong with certain bodies.
‘The voice I like to live in’: An interview with impressionist Christina Bianco
Authors: Macpherson Ben
Published: August 2023

In response to Rosemary Coombe’s provocation ‘Who authors the celebrity?’, this interview with actor, singer and impressionist Christina Bianco considers the process, performance and cultural politics of vocal impressions as a vicarious form of popular entertainment. Responding to Mladen Dolar’s assertion that voice can be located at the juncture of subject and Other (2006: 102) the discussion considers the performer’s reflections on the relationship between her own voice and those she ‘lives in’ during performance, the tensions between visuality and vocality in the creation and reception of impressions and the influence of new creative technologies and changing social mores which are changing whose voice(s) may be authored – and by whom.

The Dirichlet problem in an unbounded cone-like domain for second order elliptic quasilinear equations with variable nonlinearity exponent
Authors: Borsuk Mikhail , Wiśniewski Damian
Published: August 2023

In this paper we consider the Dirichlet problem for quasi-linear second-order elliptic equation with the
m

-Laplacian and the strong nonlinearity on the right side in an unbounded cone-like domain. We study the behavior of weak solutions to the problem at infinity and we find the sharp exponent of the solution decreasing rate. We show that the exponent is related to the least eigenvalue of the eigenvalue problem for the Laplace–Beltrami operator on the unit sphere.
Comparative efficacy of tegoprazan versus esomeprazole/sodium bicarbonate for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection
Authors: Park Chan Hyuk , Park Jung Ho , Jung Yoon Suk
Published: August 2023

Introduction:

Potassium-competitive acid blockers and proton pump inhibitors/sodium bicarbonate can rapidly increase intragastric pH. Herein, we aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of tegoprazan-based and esomeprazole/sodium bicarbonate-based triple therapies in the treatment of H. pylori infection.

Methods:

We retrospectively reviewed the data of patients with H. pylori infection treated with a 14-day tegoprazan-based triple therapy or 14-day esomeprazole/sodium bicarbonate-based triple therapy. The primary endpoint was the H. pylori eradication rate with first-line treatment in an intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis. Secondary endpoints included the eradication rate with first-line therapy in the per-protocol (PP) analysis and adverse events associated with eradication therapy.

Results:

Of the 854 included patients, 435 were treated with tegoprazan-based therapy and 419 received esomeprazole/sodium bicarbonate-based therapy. In the ITT population, no significant difference in eradication rate was detected between the tegoprazan- and esomeprazole/sodium bicarbonate-treated groups (78.6% [95% confidence interval (CI), 74.6–82.3%] vs. 81.4% [95% CI, 77.4–84.9%], P = 0.313). The PP analysis also revealed a similar eradication rate between groups (tegoprazan vs. esomeprazole/sodium bicarbonate: 85.5% [95% CI, 81.8–87.5%] vs. 87.8% [95% CI, 84.1–90.7%], P = 0.339). However, abdominal discomfort and diarrhea were more common in the esomeprazole/sodium bicarbonate group than in the tegoprazan group (abdominal discomfort: 1.1% vs. 3.8%, P = 0.012; diarrhea: 9.9% vs. 21.2%, P < 0.001).

Discussion:

The efficacy of the esomeprazole/sodium bicarbonate-based triple therapy for H. pylori eradication was comparable with that of the tegoprazan-based triple therapy. However, esomeprazole/sodium bicarbonate-based therapy exhibited a higher risk for abdominal discomfort and diarrhea than tegoprazan-based therapy.

Does the Different Ways of Internet Utilization Promote Entrepreneurship: Evidence from Rural China
Authors: Zhou Xinhao , Tang Nan , Tang Luyang
Published: August 2023

Entrepreneurship is widely recognized as a key driver of both innovation and economic growth. It comprises two essential components: (i) discover entrepreneurial opportunities and (ii) accumulate entrepreneurial capital. Based on the Chinese Family Panel Studies in 2018, we consider online information acquisition and online learning to be important ways of discovering entrepreneurial opportunities. Additionally, we regard online social engagement and online businesses as essential channels of entrepreneurial capital accumulation. The study reveals that entrepreneurship is positively affected by online information acquisition, online learning, online social engagement, and online businesses. The robustness of our results has been confirmed in terms of model misspecification and the reverse causality of entrepreneurship to Internet utilization. Furthermore, evidence indicates that the impact of online learning on entrepreneurship is negatively moderated by human capital. Additionally, social capital and financial capital play a role in mediating the causal pathway linking online social engagement and online businesses to entrepreneurship.
Der Weg nach Leuenberg. Zur Entstehung der Leuenberger Konkordie
Authors: Gross Jan
Published: August 2023

Die Leuenberger Konkordie ist das Ergebnis einer Vielzahl theologischer Gesprächsreihen, die mit Unterbrechungen über Jahre geführt wurden. Ihre Systematik ist bereits in den einzelnen Gesprächen schrittweise zu erkennen und orientiert sich durchgehend an CA VII. Obwohl die Konkordie das wohl produktivste ökumenische Dokument und Modell von Kirchengemeinschaft ist, war es von Beginn an unterschiedlicher Kritik ausgesetzt.
Die konfessionellen Öffnungen der Waldenser bis hin zur vollen kirchlichen Gemeinschaft
Authors: Gajewski Pawel Andrzej
Published: August 2023

Im Jahr 1532 beschlossen die Waldenser, sich der Reformation in ihrer Genfer Fassung anzuschließen. Die Waldenser haben innerprotestantisch immer einen ökumenischen Geist gepflegt. Diese Orientierung findet sich im Glaubensbekenntnis, dessen Ursprünge auf das Jahr 1655 zurückgehen, und in jüngerer Zeit in den beiden Synodendokumenten, die die volle kirchliche Gemeinschaft mit den italienischen Methodisten (1975) und den Baptisten (1990) anerkennen.

Willkommene Impulse und Gesprächsbedarf. Die Leuenberger Konkordie aus orthodoxer Perspektive
Authors: Vlantis Georgios
Published: August 2023

Bereits die Rede von einer Gemeinschaft von „Kirchen unterschiedlichen Bekenntnisstandes“ weist auf grundlegende ekklesiologische Unterschiede zwischen den Signatarkirchen der Leuenberger Konkordie und der Orthodoxie hin. Das Verständnis von Einheit und Vielfalt, die Abendmahlspraxis und die Amtslehre(n) von Leuenberg hinterfragt die ostkirchliche Theologie, die aber gleichzeitig bereit sein muss, Selbstkritik gegenüber Verabsolutierungen des eigenen Selbstverständnisses zu üben.
UMA DISCUSSÃO SOBRE A DEFINIÇÃO DA DISTRIBUIÇÃO DE DENSIDADES RELATIVAS EM OTIMIZAÇÃO ESTRUTURAL TOPOLÓGICA VIA SIMP
Authors: Claus Rezende Glauco , Da Silva Jéderson , Luiz do Vale João , Tomás Pereira Jucélio
Published: August 2023

O presente trabalho discute a influência entre as abordagens elementar e nodal na distribuição das densidades relativas, fundamentada em uma abordagem material baseada em uma microestrutura do tipo sólida isotrópica com penalização, na solução de um problema de otimização estrutural topológica. O problema de otimização estudado visa minimizar a flexibilidade da estrutura com restrição sobre o volume material. O Método dos Elementos Finitos e o Método do Lagrangiano Aumentado são utilizados para a discretização do domínio e resolver o problema de otimização. Para evitar instabilidades numéricas e alguns outros problemas recorrentes nas topologias ótimas, são aplicados à função objetivo dois funcionais regularizadores. Os resultados obtidos são comparados, analisando a dependência de malha, o fenômeno de tabuleiro de xadrez e a presença de regiões com densidades intermediárias, com um problema solucionado via abordagem nodal. Observando as topologias ótimas de ambas as abordagens e considerando o problema proposto, a abordagem elementar é menos eficiente que a abordagem nodal, pois, mesmo com um número maior de variáveis de projeto as topologias apresentam uma menor definição do contorno material, além do fato da independência de malha não ter sido obtida com o planejamento de ensaios numéricos realizado.

Published: August 2023

Cellular senescence has been considered as a hallmark of aging. In this study, we aimed to establish two novel prognostic subtypes for prostate cancer patients using senescence-related lncRNAs. Nonnegative matrix factorization algorithm was used to identify molecular subtypes. We completed analyses using software R 3.6.3 and its suitable packages. Using SNHG1, MIAT and SNHG3, 430 patients in TCGA database were classified into two subtypes associated with biochemical recurrence (BCR)-free survival and subtype 2 was prone to BCR (HR: 19.62, p < 0.001). The similar results were observed in the GSE46602 and GSE116918. For hallmark gene set enrichment, we found that protein secretion and androgen response were highly enriched in subtype 1 and G2M checkpoint was highly enriched in subtype 2. For tumor heterogeneity and stemness, homologous recombination deficiency and tumor mutation burden were significantly higher in subtype 2 than subtype 1. The top ten genes between subtype 2 and subtype 1 were CUBN, DNAH9, PTCHD4, NOD1, ARFGEF1, HRAS, PYHIN1, ARHGEF2, MYOM1 and ITGB6 with statistical significance. In terms of immune checkpoints, only CD47 was significantly higher in subtype 1 than that in subtype 2. For the overall assessment, no significant difference was detected between two subtypes, while B cells score was significantly higher in subtype 1 than subtype 2. Overall, we found two distinct subtypes closely associated with BCR-free survival and androgen response for prostate cancer. These subtypes might facilitate future research in the field of prostate cancer.
Maternal age, obesity and hyperglycaemia are associated with a delay in preimplantation embryo development in mouse

Published: August 2023

In brief

Fertility has decreased due to advanced maternal age and the rising prevalence of the metabolic syndrome. Using quantitative image analysis methods, we show that these factors are associated with delayed preimplantation embryo development in a mouse model.

Delayed maternal age, obesity and diabetes are associated with reduced fertility. We investigated how age and obesity/metabolic syndrome impact fertility and hypothesized that its decrease is due to defects in preimplantation embryo development. Three groups of female C57Bl6 mice (12 weeks, 9 months and 1 year old) were fed either a high-fat diet for 8 weeks, to induce obesity and the metabolic syndrome, or a control chow diet. Body weight and composition, glucose tolerance and insulin resistance were assessed. Fecundity was evaluated by mating and pregnancy rates, as well as by the number of embryos. Embryo quality was assessed morphologically, and cell fate composition was analysed in preimplantation embryos by state-of-the-art single-cell quantitative confocal image analysis. The high-fat diet was associated with increased adiposity, glucose intolerance and insulin resistance, especially in the older mice. Fecundity was affected by age more than by the diet. Both age and high-fat diet were associated with reduced cell fate allocation, indicating a delay in the preimplantation embryo development, and with increased expression of GATA3, an inhibitor of placentation. These results support that age and the metabolic syndrome reduce fertility through mechanisms which are present at conception or very early in pregnancy.

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) were prepared from delignified kenaf bast fiber by using alkaline pulping, based on soda anthraquinone, hydrogen peroxide bleaching, and acid hydrolysis treatment with H2SO4. The size and morphology of the fibers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the isolated fiber from unbleached and bleached pulp had a diameter between 9 to 30 µm. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy exhibited that the content of lignin decreased in the pulping process, and the lignin was almost completely removed during hydrogen peroxide bleaching. Moreover, fibers were characterized for crystallinity using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The fiber crystallinity gradually increased at each stage of the process (raw kenaf bast, unbleached pulp, bleached pulp, and acid hydrolysis). The fiber was characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM), which showed that the isolated pulp nanofibers had diameters of approximately 30 nm.
Rhetorical structure and linguistic features of research article abstracts in the humanities: the case of Lithuanian, English, and Russian
Authors: Gobekci Erika
Published: August 2023

Over the past few decades, research article abstracts have been receiving increased attention of scholars. While abstracts in English have been extensively researched, there are few studies on abstracts in Russian and no studies on abstracts in Lithuanian. This study investigates the rhetorical structure and linguistic features of research article abstracts across different humanities disciplines in Lithuanian, English and Russian. My aim is to detect similarities and differences in abstract structure and corresponding linguistic features within the three different academic writing traditions. I seek to answer the question which writing tradition, the Anglo-Saxon or the Continental, is closer to Lithuanian academic writing. This study employs contrastive qualitative and quantitative analysis and corpus-based methodology. The results highlight aspects of abstract writing that may be relevant for researchers while preparing abstracts of their research articles in these three languages.
Multilingualism, culture, museum learning
Authors: Hegedűs Anita
Published: August 2023

Language difficulties can be a problem for foreign students studying in Hungary: they see as Hungarians do not speak foreign languages, which hinders the well-being of foreigners. At the same time, students studying at Hungarian universities also have different cultural expectations: it is important for them to gain cultural experiences, expand their knowledge of Hungarian culture and history. Classical public cultural institutions, such as museums, can be perfect places to learn about the culture and history of a country.

The aim of this study is to introduce our research findings whether foreigner students studying at the University of Szeged have to face these problems. Our goal is to find out how important it is to them to get to know Hungarian culture, and whether they think about museums from this point of view and what kinds of language barriers do they have. In our study, we present the results of focus group research with foreign students studying at the University of Szeged.

The results show that the students who took part in the research had language difficulties in Hungary which has affected their knowledge of Hungarian culture and history. They don't usually go to museums to gain more information but they think museums can be great places for this purpose although the students have problems with museums' multilingual aspects.

We have come to the conclusion that foreign students are interested in Hungarian culture but the language barriers are building walls between them and the museums.
POLÍTICA NACIONAL DE INTERNACIONALIZAÇÃO DA EDUCAÇÃO SUPERIOR NO BRASIL: UMA ANÁLISE CRÍTICA
Authors: Miranda Jose Alberto , Mueller Cristiana Verônica
Published: August 2023

A criação de uma política pública nacional de internacionalização no Brasil tem sido recomendada por especialistas a partir de modelos adotados por outros países. Apesar de corroborar com essa orientação, é objetivo desse trabalho, problematizar a inexistência de uma política nacional de internacionalização brasileira a partir do entendimento das atuais características do processo no país. Para isso, optou-se por inicialmente elucidar como estão estruturados alguns dos principais órgãos do governo e respectivas ações e programas relacionados à internacionalização. Após, buscou-se relacionar esses elementos ao processo de gestão da internacionalização pelas Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) por meio de uma análise crítica de benefícios e prejuízos. Surge, nestes termos, o que chamamos de desafios de uma política nacional para internacionalização. Metodologicamente é feita uma abordagem qualitativa com análise bibliográfica e documental. Como resultado, são identificadas evidências de que o Estado brasileiro tem sido um ator importante, mas, que tem atuado de forma desarticulada por meio de seus diferentes órgãos e isso tem refletido tanto em prejuízos quanto ganhos para a gestão da internacionalização das IES brasileiras e para o país. Como recomendações finais, tem-se a necessidade de haver melhor relação entre Estado e IES na construção de estratégias nacionais bem como, melhor compreensão do que o país tem e quer a partir da internacionalização.
Qualitative Reasoning about 2D Cardinal Directions using Answer Set Programming
Authors: Izmirlioglu Yusuf , Erdem Esra
Published: August 2023

We introduce a formal framework (called NCDC-ASP) for representing and reasoning about cardinal directions between extended spatial objects on a plane, using Answer Set Programming (ASP). NCDC-ASP preserves the meaning of cardinal directional relations as in Cardinal Directional Calculus (CDC), and provides solutions to all consistency checking problems in CDC under various conditions (i.e., for a complete/incomplete set of basic/disjunctive CDC constraints over connected/disconnected spatial objects). In particular, NCDC-ASP models a discretized version of the consistency checking problem in ASP, over a finite grid (rather than a plane), where we provide new lower bounds on the grid size to guarantee that it correctly characterizes solutions for the consistency checking in CDC. In addition, NCDC-ASP has the following two novelties important for applications. NCDC-ASP introduces default CDC constraints to represent and reason about background or commonsense knowledge that involves default qualitative directional relations (e.g., "the ice cream truck is by default to the north of the playground" or "the keyboard is normally placed in front of the monitor"). NCDC-ASP introduces inferred CDC constraints to allow inference of missing CDC relations and to provide them as explanations. We illustrate the uses and usefulness of NCDC-ASP with interesting scenarios from the real-world. We design and develop a variety of benchmark instances, and comprehensively evaluate NCDC-ASP from the perspectives of computational efficiency.
OXIDATION AND COMBUSTION OF LITHIUM AND MAGNESIUM POWDERS FOR SPACE POWER APPLICATIONS
Authors: Cordova Sergio , Estala-Rodriguez Kevin , Shafirovich Evgeny
Published: August 2023

Combustion of metals could be used for generation of heat and electric power in space missions where the use of solar or nuclear energy is impossible or impractical. We have proposed to develop a power system where a metal powder bed burns with oxygen supplied by a chemical oxygen generator. In missions to Mars and Venus, in situ CO2 could also be used as the oxidizer. Lithium and magnesium
powders have been identified as promising fuels for this application. However, their oxidation and combustion in oxygen and carbon dioxide is not well understood. Here we summarize the results of our recent studies performed to address these gaps in knowledge. The combustion experiments with lithium and magnesium powders at natural infiltration of oxygen have shown that counterflow and
coflow combustion waves can propagate consecutively over the same sample. Using isothermal and
non-isothermal methods of thermal analysis, the oxidation kinetics of lithium and magnesium powders
in oxygen and carbon dioxide environments have been revealed.

Objective

Coronary artery disease (CAD) ranks first in mortality

and morbidity in the World. Physicians' high level of

knowledge, skills, and awareness on this subject

is essential in the fight against this chronic disease.

This study aimed to determine the knowledge and

awareness levels of physician candidates about

CAD and to contribute to the areas that need to be

developed after the survey.

Material and Method

This cross-sectional and descriptive study was

conducted on 600 students from the 4th and 5th

grades of Suleyman Demirel University Faculty of

Medicine between April 1, 2022, and May 1, 2022. The

questionnaire that measured the level of knowledge

and awareness about CAD was administered through

social media communication networks or face-to-face.

Results

Of the 348 participants included in our study, 200

(57.5%) were women. The mean age of the participants

was 23.14±1.1, their average weight was 68.6±

10.7, and their average height was 169.73± 12.7.

Of the students who participated in the survey, 223

(65%) were fifth-grade students, and 125 (35%) were

fourth-grade students. Of the students, 314 (90%)

completed their cardiology internship. When we asked

the participants to rate their level of knowledge about

CAD between 1 and 5, 48.2% of the participants gave

3 points to their knowledge level. In addition, 74.7%

(n=260) of the students who participated in the survey

know that troponin I is the most specific marker in

myocardial ischemia. 52.2% (n=182) marked smoking

as the question of which lifestyle changes the most

in the follow-up of CAD and gave the correct answer.

When they surveyed the life-saving treatment in CAD,

24.4% (n=85) of the study population gave the correct

answer by marking the stent implantation option. This

response was followed by the fast-acting nitrate option

with 36.2% (n=126).

Conclusion

As a result, increasing the knowledge and awareness

of the faculty of medical students about CAD is

important for the fight against CAD, and this study

contributed to the determination of the missing points.
CULTURAL REFERENCES TRANSLATION NORMS IN THE QUEUE FROM ARABIC TO ENGLISH
Authors: Alharahsheh Abdelrauof , Moindjie Mohamed Abdou , Ai Lin Debbita Tan
Published: August 2023

Translating literary works is a challenging task, especially when attempting to integrate numerous linguistically, artistically, and culturally varied languages. The main objective of this research is to describe the initial norms that regulate the translation of Arabic cultural references translated in Basma Abdelaziz's Arabic novel, The Queue. This novel by Basma Abdelaziz was chosen for examination because it contains a lot of cultural references that reflect cultural values. To detect translation shifts and techniques used by the Queue’s translator, the major principles and components of Toury's theory of norms, Newmark’s classification of cultural items, and translation techniques proposed by Vinay and Darbelnet (1995) will be used. The techniques for translating Arabic cultural references reflect the translators' individual attitudes toward ST norms as well as their adherence to linguistic and cultural standards prevalent in the TL setting. Overall, there is some heterogeneity in the degree of leaning toward SL or TL norms. According to Toury's norms model, the general trend of translational norms appears to lean more towards the acceptability pole than the adequacy pole, implying that a TL-oriented strategy is preferred. The study reveals that when translating cultural references into English, the Queue's translator used four primary strategies: modulation, transposition, adaption, and deletion. These translation strategies utilized by the Queue’s translator may provide the target reader with altered meaning of the cultural references will have an impact on the portrayal of the Queue and provide the target readers with a significantly altered version of the text These translation strategies utilized by the Queue’s translator may provide the target reader with altered meaning of the cultural references text.

Published: August 2023

Halalan Toyyiba adalah konsep menyeluruh yang dibawa oleh Islam. Mengikut konsep ini, sumber penggunaan mestilah bersih dan suci. Setiap titik sumber, dari proses pengeluaran awal dan kaedah hinggalah kepada pengurusan akhir, seperti kaedah pelupusan sisa, perlu diambil kira bagi memenuhi syarat halalan toyyiba. Zaman kini menyaksikan penggunaan berasaskan air semakin meluas dalam kehidupan seharian. Tegasnya, konsep dasar halalan toyyiba patuh syariah dalam penggunaan air seperti untuk agrikultur dan penternakan masih kurang dibincangkan secara serius. Justeru, isu halalan toyyiba patuh syariah dalam penggunaan air amat penting untuk dikaji dan dirangka panduan patuh syariah untuk masyarakat Malaysia khususnya umat Islam. Konsep ini bertepatan dengan agenda nasional negara iaitu Dasar Hab Halal Negara. Objektif utama kertas kerja ini adalah untuk mengkaji idea halalan toyyiba dalam pengurusan air domestik di Malaysia. Kertas kerja ini berdasarkan kaedah kualitatif. Sumber berasaskan fatwa, penerbitan ilmiah, jurnal dan sebagainya akan dianalisis dan dirumuskan secara deskriptif untuk menghasilkan kesimpulan yang menjawab objektif kertas kerja. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan konsep dasar halalan toyyiba patuh syariah mengenai pengurusan air domestik di Malaysia masih belum terlaksana sepenuhnya. Justeru adalah penting polisi ini dilaksanakan secara jitu di Malaysia.

This paper studies a method of stirring liquid metal by the action of rotating magnetic fields using two ring inductors placed next to each other. These inductors generate magnetic fields rotating in opposite directions. The aim of this study is numerical investigation of the generated fluid flow and its impact on the homogenization of a two-phase medium, as well as on the crystallization process. The impact of these electromagnetic forces proves to cause the generation of intense poloidal flow component. The arising flow is accompanied by oscillatory motion of vortex structures and their interaction resulting in effective mixing of the liquid metal. The moderate values of the force parameter have been found to lead to the most homogeneous medium under stirring. Under non-stationary action, the force parameter modulations in a certain frequency range have practically no effect on the homogeneity occurrence time and the homogeneity value. The positive effect of stirring by magnetic fields of complex topology on the rate and homogeneity of metal solidification is stated. The obtained results are relevant for improving the quality of foundry ingots.

DOĞRUDAN YABANCI YATIRIMLARIN VE TURİZMİN ENERJİ GÜVENLİĞİNE ETKİSİ: SİNGAPUR ÜZERİNE EKONOMETRİK BİR İNCELEME
Authors: KARASOY Alper
Published: August 2023

Singapur’un ekonomisi için doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar [DYY] ve turizm kritik öneme sahiptir. Bunun yanında Singapur, enerjide dış kaynaklara bağımlılığının yüksek ve fosil yakıtlarının enerji tüketim kompozisyonunda baskın olması sebebiyle yüksek enerji güvenliği riskine [EGR] sahiptir. Her ne kadar literatürde DYY’lerin ve turizmin enerji tüketimine veya çevresel bozulmaya etkileri ampirik olarak incelenmiş olsa da bu değişkenlerin enerji güvenliğini nasıl etkilediği konusunda ampirik bir çalışma yoktur. Bu araştırmanın amacı, Singapur örneğini ele alarak literatürdeki bu boşluğu doldurmaktır. Bu kapsamda bu araştırmada, DYY’lerin ve turizmin Singapur’un EGR’sini nasıl etkilediği 1980-2018 dönemi için ampirik olarak incelenmiştir. Öncelikle gecikmeleri dağıtılmış otoregresif [ARDL] model kullanılarak DYY’lerin ve turizmin EGR’yi nasıl etkiledikleri tahmin edilmiş, sonrasında Toda-Yamamoto [T-Y] testiyle değişkenler arasındaki nedensellik ilişkileri incelenmiştir. Ekonometrik analiz sonucunda elde edilen bulgular şunlardır: Birincisi, uzun dönemde, DYY’ler Singapur’un EGR’sini arttırırken turizm EGR’yi azaltmaktadır. İkincisi, sanayileşme Singapur’un EGR’sini hem kısa hem de uzun dönemlerde arttırmaktadır. Üçüncü olarak turizm ve sanayileşme EGR’ye neden olmaktadır. Son olarak DYY’ler hem turizme hem de sanayileşmeye neden olmaktadır. Bu sonuçlar, DYY’lerin Singapur’un uzun dönem enerji güvenliğini azaltırken turizmin enerji güvenliğini iyileştirdiğini göstermektedir. Ayrıca sanayileşme kısa ve uzun dönemlerde Singapur’un enerji güvenliği riskini arttırmaktadır.azaltmaktadır.

Published: August 2023

As the container freight rate is fixed with the implementation of the safe freight rates system for trucks in 2020, the freight factor can no longer function as a differentiated factor for shippers. As a result, domestic container inland transportation companies have become the main competitive factors for corporate’s characteristics and service-related factors, excluding cost factors in order to attract shippers. This study aims to suggest implications for the competitive strategy of shipping companies by deriving the priority of factors in selecting inland container transport truck companies for domestic shippers under circumstances excluding freight factors. Based on previous studies, four factors, i.e. company characteristics, service quality, service diversity, and additional service were pairwise-compared to determine relative priorities of alternative choices including four sub-criteria of each using AHP(Hierarchy Analysis Process). As a result, the overall ranking of main criteria of selection carrier is service quality factors, service diversity factors, additional service factors, and company characteristics factors in the order, and the priority of quality factors was revealed to be quite high compared to other factors. In detailed sub-factors, accident response capabilities, responsiveness of order, delivery on time, flexible dispatch time of vehicle, and information exchange and sharing were drawn in the order, confirming that quality, the essence of transport service, is of importance. Inland container carriers should strengthen their efforts to improve quality factors such as accident response capabilities, responsiveness of order, and delivery on time to enhance their competitiveness.

Three moments of an action-research exercise developed with 126 teachers of the sixteen Official Educational Institutions of the municipality of Jamundí, hereinafter IEO, allow us to expose the successful strategies that led, as requested by the inter-administrative agreement between the Secretary of Education of Jamundí and the Universidad del Valle, to join efforts to strengthen teachers and teachers' managers in the management of competencies in different areas of knowledge, area and classroom plans, competency-based curricula, pedagogical projects and innovative teaching methodologies and technical assistance and accompaniment in the construction of the Institutional Educational Project, hereinafter, PEI, or Community Educational Project, hereinafter, PEC, of the Official Educational Institutions of preschool, elementary and middle school of Jamundí. The first part describes the educational intervention that implied the training of teachers and its consequent process of situated and differential accompaniment to make the reflections constructed in the formative encounters with the Universidad del Valle a reality. A second moment describes one of the techniques used for re-signifying and updating institutional educational projects: mapping as an opportunity for valuing, recognizing, and linking knowledge, subjects, and contexts. This section implies the articulation with a pertinence perspective since the ethno-educational approach emerges as the most adequate to rethink the horizon of the municipality's institutions. The third moment, less descriptive and more analytical, offers the reflections that emerged when conducting a documentary analysis of the reports submitted as a result of on-site accompaniment. It is intended, through this article, to contribute to contemporary reflection on the importance of contextualizing educational projects, the search for educational relevance with the establishment of new relationships with local knowledge, the needs and strengths of the communities, and the renewal of the purposes of the school in today's world.

This paper considers the implement of Kids Can Read Application to assist kids with learning disabilities to spell and read correctly. The researchers applied the advantage of Quick Response (QR) code technology into the interaction design. The Kids Can Read will install on smartphone or tablet and will be using with word card with QR code integrated, kids will scan the QR code, and the spelling instruction will appear with sound of each word. Kids will be able to open the application to reviewing the word afterward without the re-scan the QR code. The interface design of the Kids Can Read is easy to use and kids friendly. Most of the kids in this study prefer to use Kids Can Read to help them learn and practice of word reading and spelling. As a result, when the application was conducted into practice in schools, the sample in this study had a statistically significant increase in spelling ability at 0.05. This is in consistent with the hypothesis that the ability to read word spelling of the Grade 3 students with learning disability in reading is higher after using the Kids Can Read. Hence, we anticipate that all of students with learning disabilities who study in Grade 3 in the country will have chance to use the application by the end of next year.
