The article presents a comprehensive analysis of multiplexing techniques, with a specific focus on OFDM. OFDM is a transmission method that employs multiple carriers to achieve high data transfer rates. The article provides a thorough explanation of the fundamental concepts, as well as an in-depth discussion on the various applications, technologies, and modulations associated with OFDM. The primary objective of the study is to investigate the implementation of an OFDM communication system using SDR technology. This involves simulating a radio channel to emulate real-world conditions and evaluating the system's performance in terms of packet reception over an actual radio channel. The use of SDR offers several advantages, such as flexibility, adaptability, and cost-effectiveness. Throughout the research, a detailed analysis of the benefits and limitations of OFDM and SDR is conducted, and potential solutions to overcome the identified drawbacks are proposed. The selection of this research direction is motivated by the significant advantages offered by OFDM and SDR, particularly in terms of channel capacity and cost-efficiency. To validate the theoretical concepts and evaluate the practical implementation, a prototype of the OFDM communication system is developed using GNU Radio, an open-source software platform known for its versatility and extensive capabilities. By examining the performance and feasibility of the OFDM communication system implemented with SDR technology, the study aims to provide valuable insights into the advantages, challenges, and potential enhancements in utilizing OFDM and SDR for multiplexing applications.

Published: November 2023

Pada era modern pengaruh bahasa asing menciptakan kosakata-kosakata baru sehingga memperkaya variasi bahasa. Bahasa asing yang diadaptasi mengalami penyesuaian dalam pelafalan bahasa Jepang yang dituliskan menggunakan huruf katakana disebut dengan gairaigo. Penelitian ini menganalisis jenis gairaigo dan faktor penyebab variasi gairaigo pada film animasi Kimi no Na wa. Sumber data penelitian ini menyajikan adanya perbedaan domisili para tokohnya sehingga peneliti tertarik untuk meneliti variasi gairaigo beserta faktor penyebabnya. Dari hasil analisis ditemukan sebanyak 4 jenis gairaigo dari 6 jenis gairaigo yang telah dipaparkan oleh Taylor (2014:265) dalam teorinya. Faktor penyebab variasi gairaigo baik yang digunakan oleh penutur kota maupun penutur desa lebih berpedoman pada reportoir bahasa masyarakat tutur. Namun penggunaan gairaigo replacement pada penutur kota lebih dipengaruhi oleh kemampuan individual. Penyebabnya adalah perbedaan pengaruh bahasa asing yang masuk karena lingkungan penutur kota yang lebih variatif. Dengan demikian kemampuan individual penutur kota dalam menggunakan gairaigo lebih tinggi dibandingkan penutur desa.

Percepção de sorofobia entre homens gays que vivem com HIV
Authors: Alckmin-Carvalho Felipe , Brandelli Costa Angelo , Chiapetti Nilse , Yasuko Izumi Nichiata Lucia
Published: November 2023

Contexto: A sorofobia ou estigma relacionado ao HIV é um fenômeno recorrente. Em populações histórica e socialmente marginalizadas, a prevalência tende a ser mais acentuada. O estigma associa-se a diversos desfechos negativos em saúde mental, interfere na testagem sorológica regular e compromete a adesão ao tratamento antirretroviral. Objetivo: o estudo visou avaliar a sorofobia percebida por homens gays que vivem com HIV/AIDS e verificar associações entre a sorofobia percebida e variáveis sociodemográficas e clínicas. Métodos: tratou-se de um estudo transversal com 138 homens gays, com média de idade de 36,12 anos. Utilizou-se questionário sociodemográfico/clínico e a Escala Berger de Estigmatização. Resultados: O escore médio total de estigma percebido foi de 98,56 em uma escala de 40 a 160, indicando uma forte tendência dos participantes a perceber sorofobia, tanto na comunidade quanto internalizada. A grande maioria dos avaliados (72%–95%) reportou esforços para ocultar a soropositividade, percebendo que a sua divulgação é arriscada e que pessoas com HIV são ostracizadas pela comunidade. Observou-se correlação negativa e significativa entre os escores de sorofobia e idade atual, mas não com renda, escolaridade, idade do diagnóstico de HIV, situação de moradia, vínculo empregatício e variáveis clínicas. Conclusões: os elevados níveis de sorofobia percebida por homens gays com HIV evidenciam a necessidade de estratégias de acolhimento e cuidado em saúde mental para esta população. Estudos futuros devem avaliar a eficácia de intervenções direcionadas à redução do estigma e de campanhas destinadas ao público em geral para desestigmatizar a doença.

The Israeli use of Economic Peace as a Peace Building Tool for the Occupied Palestinian Territories
Authors: Tucker Jason
Published: November 2023

The aim of this paper is to assess how the Israeli government uses Economic Peace (EP) as a foundation for peace building between themselves and Palestine. I will do this by contesting the artificial division of economic development and political diplomacy in peace building as framed by Israel’s EP policy. I will argue that despite EP providing some relief for the Palestinian population, economic pacification is not a viable means by which to build peace negotiations as economics and politics are not mutually exclusive in peace building efforts.This paper is split into several sections. Firstly, I will define EP as it will be understood in this paper. Secondly, I will use the example of Northern Ireland as a means to show how it has been implemented and the potentially successful outcomes. Thirdly, I will look at how the Israeli government implemented EP between 1994 and 2000, its economic and political outcomes and how its continued use today is an attempt to frame peace building as a depoliticised endeavor. Finally I will look at what we can learn more generally about EP as a peace building tool in relation to its failure in the Israel-Palestine context.

Presentation of the paper: The Importance of Educating to Think: Teaching Methodologies and Aids from Cooperative Learning and Problem-Based Learning, with Emphasis on Science Education
Authors: Di Sia Paolo
Published: November 2023

This paper focuses on the theme of educating to think. The education to thought is a highly topical methodology, in terms of critical thinking and doubt, which initiate processes of reflection and move away from rigid and dogmatic visions. The central point concerns the opportunity to promote a rational activity, not understood as a fideistic attitude towards the great possibilities of reason, but as adesire to direct the educational process on a well-founded scientific basis. There aremany formulations in support of educating to think; they have inspired concrete teaching methodologies focused on the development of critical thinking, preferring doubt, research, cooperative activity, problem solving. Among them, a prominent place is occupied by Cooperative Learning and Problem-Based Learning. They are characterized by analogous aspects and by different factors, but are oriented towards a common intentionality relating to the development of critical and creative thinking, through the strategy of dialogue. The paper highlights the reasons for the motivated interest in the indicated topic, underlining the need, connected to the current historical-social context, for a review of learning methods. Cooperative Learning and Problem-Based Learning are then examined, highlighting the fundamental characteristics and educational objectives. The conditions for creating a suitable climate for effective learning based on skills and competences to be improved areunderlined, describing the teaching methods of interest. These are innovative teaching methods capable of involving pupils, making them interact, making them aware of their knowledge and acquisitions, trying to develop critical and creative thinking in them. Regarding science education, the indications of scientific and pedagogical literature to direct students underline the use of the inquiry-based laboratory teaching methodology, to deal with issues of social relevance and close to students, and the use of an interdisciplinary approach. A detailed example of the application of Problem-Based Learning for science with focus in mathematics for primary school is provided before the conclusions.
Negotiation of Safety in Inter-cultural Trauma Therapy: A Meta-ethnography of Qualitative Studies
Authors: Ray Dhritiman , Karadzhov Dimitar , Macgregor Aisha
Published: November 2023

Establishing psychological safety by increasing control and connectedness is often the first step in addressing traumatic distress in trauma therapy. Qualitative research suggests cultural differences between providers and clients may pose unique challenges to this process. The aim of this meta-ethnography was to understand how safety is negotiated within the therapeutic alliance in inter-cultural trauma therapy. Five databases were searched (MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and ASSIA) using a pre-planned search strategy in June 2021; this was further updated in June 2022. Sixteen studies were included in the review. The synthesis highlighted that safety is negotiated in a web of relationships that go beyond just the therapeutic dyad. Personal connection, non-verbal communication, tolerating discomfort, and sharing the role of an educator with the client were some of the strategies used by therapists to bridge cultural differences. These strategies created various cultural and role conflicts, which were managed by addressing stigma, clarifying roles (including interpreters’), and creating a work-life balance. Structural factors such as organisational protocols, lack of institutional support, cultural stigma, and the asylum-seeking process hindered the negotiation of safety. Based on this meta-ethnography, a framework was developed to help mental health professionals negotiate safety in inter-cultural trauma therapy.
Temporal Dynamics and Neural Variabilities of Emotion-cognition Interaction in Autism
Authors: Tong Shelley Xiuli , WANG Xin
Published: November 2023

Autistic individuals exhibit atypical neural variability patterns on various cognitive and emotional tasks. However, the neural dynamics underlying emotion-cognition interactions in autism remain unexplored. This study examined this gap by recording EEG signals of 50 autistic and 46 non-autistic children in an emotional Go/Nogo task. Single-trial ERP analyses revealed that, at the early stage of processing, autistic children exhibited a larger posterior-Nogo-N170 for angry faces and a smaller frontal-N200 for all faces compared to their non-autistic peers, indicating their stronger attention to negative emotions and their inadequate conflict monitoring of all emotions. At the late stage, autistic children displayed a larger posterior-Go-P300 for angry faces and a larger posterior-Nogo-P300 for happy faces compared to their non-autistic peers, revealing their more effort to resolve the conflicts between emotional processing and cognitive control. Single-trial neural variability analyses showed that, compared to their non-autistic peers, autistic children exhibited excessive amplitude variability in the Nogo-N170 for happy faces and insufficient amplitude variability in the Nogo-N200 for angry faces. These results suggest that the brain network of autistic children is over-activated during the early perception of positive emotions, and becomes less mature when viewing negative emotions during the conflict monitoring stage.
Najas Makhluq I: What do Indian Muslim students think about dogs and cats?
Authors: Jamal Abubakr
Published: November 2023

This case-study research comparatively examines the perspectives of Indian Muslim university students on dogs and cats, as expressed in a survey, looking at how beliefs about animals interact with wider etymologies of piety in Islam such as Makhluq, Istinaja, Rahmat and Amanat and questioning ideas of secularity in anthropology. Using thematic analysis, we found that interactions with dogs were shaped but not defined by the dog’s ritual impurity, or Istinaja, and that the rabies crisis in India was far more of a cause of negative emotion towards dogs. The interactions were rooted predominantly in Islamic ideas, especially Rahmat or Islamic Mercy, and a dialectic between Makhluq (being united with nonhumans on the basis of being created by Allah) and Amanat (being a representative-hegemon of Allah). This dialectic interacts with feelings of Rahmat (Islamic mercy) and notions of Place, which are all mutually emergent. This study makes five key academic points: the survey used to elucidate perspectives, the dominance of rabies-related fear as an influence over Istinaja, the importance of notions of Rahmat, the framework of the Makhluq-Amanat dialectic and its interaction with notions of Rahmat and Place, and the use of Islamic anthropological methods that factor in Islamic etymologies of piety as opposed to secular means of anthropology.

Authors: Cardon Peter Wilson , Fleischmann Carolin , Carradini Stephen , Getchell Kristen , Stapp James , Aritz Jolanta
Published: November 2023

Smart (AI-based) meeting tools are increasingly available for professionals to use during and after online meetings. The technological affordances of these tools hold promise for better team communication and collaboration. This study emerged from a simple premise: psychological safety influences key factors in technology acceptance, including performance expectancy and effort expectancy. Three surveys involving 509 frequent users of online work meetings were conducted to explore attitudes toward three forms of meeting tools: captions, recorded meetings, and AI meeting assistants. Results showed that psychological safety influences performance expectancy and effort expectancy. The study concludes with recommendations for future research and practice in terms of the fundamental importance of psychological safety for smart collaboration.

Стаття присвячена дослідженню структури рейтингової оцінки університетів в рамках рейтингу Perspektywy, який є найбільш популярним в академічних університетах Польщі. Основна мета дослідження полягає в розгляді інтернаціоналізації університетів через призму комплексного показника «Інтернаціоналізація», що є складником рейтингової оцінки, за яким відбувається щорічне ранжування польських університетів Perspektywy. З цією метою в дослідженні було проаналізовано, яке саме місце займає комплексний показник «Інтернаціоналізація» в загальній рейтинговій оцінці. У статті проведено аналіз структури та динаміки факторів, що впливають на комплексний показник «Інтернаціоналізація» протягом періоду з 2011 по 2023 рік. Результати аналізу демонструють, що структура цього показника піддається змінам, що свідчить про постійний розвиток та адаптацію університетів до сучасних освітніх та наукових тенденцій на національному й глобальному рівнях. Зміни в складі факторів, а також їх питомої ваги, що формує комплексний показник «Інтернаціоналізація» в рейтингу Perspektywy, вказують на необхідність розгляду інтернаціоналізації як багатогранного та динамічного процесу. Вилучення з переліку факторів, за якими визначається рівень інтернаціоналізації в рейтингу Perspektywy, факторів «Викладання мовами інших країн» й «Програми навчання мовами інших країн» і додавання в перелік факторів «Вплив співпраці», «Участь у європейському університеті», «Обмін академічними кадрами (виїзди)», «Проєкти стратегічного партнерства, де університет є лідером в рамках програми Erasmus+» й «Багатонаціональність студентського середовища» підтверджують гіпотезу щодо переорієнтації рейтингу з кількісних на якісні аспекти діяльності університетів. Інтернаціоналізація університету стає важливим показником у національному рейтингу академічних університетів Польщі, який не лише віддзеркалює готовність закладу до міжнародного співробітництва, але й здатність зберігати та підвищувати свою конкурентоспроможність на національному і, як наслідок, на глобальному освітньому та науковому рівнях. Ключові слова: інтернаціоналізація, комплексний показник, питома вага, фактор, Польща.

The Importance of Ethics and its Relevance to Challenges of Global Education
Authors: BAKHTADZE Irina
Published: November 2023

The article focuses on one of the dominant issues of higher education – moral education, and its significance in the process of globalization of education. How are these two interlocked in a broader context? How is morality understood and interpreted by American scholars and philosophers? How should ethical concerns be applied in a realm of higher education? Globalization of education demands that a common ground for morality – based on a system of universally recognized policies and rules should be established. Knowledge, based on recent achievements in science and humanities, has become the most powerful vehicle to override irrational social constructs which are inconsistent with universal ethical and moral norms. Application of cultural relativism when teaching and practicing morality at the universities might lead to some miscommunication among the university population; on the other hand, tolerance towards differences is one of the fundamental principals of a democratic society. Universities are determined to achieve global standards through excellence in performance. This aim could not be achieved unless the university society has full understanding of cultural differences and expresses its tolerance and good will to find its place in a multicultural environment. The universities that are dedicated to high ethical standards reap many rewards, including high employee commitment, stronger commitment of the students and alumni, enhanced reputation, and sustained long-term performance. Ethics in education is a solid foundation of university change and improvement which can continue only in an atmosphere of confidence and fairness.
Approaches for Examining Moral Issues (American Case)
Authors: SHIOSHVILI Tamar
Published: November 2023

Moral judgments of other cultures are applicable when they are based on understanding and thoughtful analysis. Despite the doubt, that moral prescriptions (“ought” statements) are illogical, such prescriptions have been made throughout history, and are still made by reputable organizations; and even more, the basis of right desire supports important foundation in logic, and together with the principle of contradiction helps us to consider ethical analysis with assurance. In this article we’ll try to construct upon that ground.The standard we will need for judging morality of actions is one-acceptable to men and women of different moral prospects; and reflects the precepts that most ethical systems have in common. Such a standard will free us from preinvented rendering, and raise our dialogue to a more objective level.

Authors: BAKHTADZE Irina , Danelia Nino
Published: November 2023

Nowadays, English has become a global language and it is spoken in more countries thanany other languages. One of the first motivating factors for the students who wish to continuestudy of English language on advanced level - is its wide applicability. Moreover, each studentunderstands that being a citizen of the country with population over 4 million, most widelyused foreign language will give them the best return for their efforts, and particularly in termsof employment opportunities. English has become the language of media, business, science,and international relations, and it is a working language of the majority of international organizationsin the world. The careers that involve lots of travel or international exposure, suchas the airline, tourism and film industries, use English as their official language, and manyemployers require evidence of a certain level of proficiency in English before they consideremploying young people. This means that if students can speak English, they will have widerchoice in terms of possible careers after finishing the university (Crystal, 2003). With the helpof increased English language competences, the undergraduates have an access to someof the world’s best universities at all levels of education. We live in the digital age; 55% of theworld’s web-pages are written in English (Graddol, 2001). “Facebook”, “Google” and othersocial networks are basically in English. The young language learners perceive the role ofEnglish learning through their personal experience when they use computer, brows in theinternet, try to find some specific information they are interested in, watch films, listen to themusic, read journals and newspapers, or try to communicate with foreign friends. This raisesinternal motivation which helps them to set the goal which is connected with the languagestudy on a higher level.

Modern American Anthropologists’ View of Culture and Correlated Attitude towards Caucasian Traditions and Values
Authors: SHIOSHVILI Tamar
Published: November 2023

The United States functions symbolically as a hyper-present model of culturally plural ormulticultural nation. American adaptation of multiculturalistic approach is comparatively newthough, and contradicts the melting pot principle, which meant melting of different cultures ofimmigrants in one pot at the initial stages of the creation of the new nation. In recent timeswe observe that some American cultural anthropologists modify the traditional definition ofculture, that only peoples who speak different languages, not dialects – have distinctive culturalpatterns.According modern scholars every identity group that shares a similar pattern of perceptionsconstitutes a culture. Following this approach, while considering the Caucasian traditions andvalues, even within a big traditional cultural group, we can single out culture of unit identitiesand explore how can communication between smaller groups can be encouraged, in order toincrease national communication, that is so vital for coping with one of the most complicatedregions in the world – Caucasus, with many different peoples.

Scots in America
Authors: SCOTT Jonathan
Published: November 2023

This essay examines the immigration and contributions of Scots to America, as well asoffering an explanation regarding the resurgence of interest in Scottish ancestry. Scotswere a core immigrant group from three regions of the United Kingdom that were, likeother immigrants, both” pushed and pulled” into America. The Scots backgrounds infaith, political loyalties, and hardships influenced the integration into becoming what isrecognized as American. Some generalities about Scottish immigrants in first the Colonies,and then the United States, can be identified in religion and political persuasion.The success of their assimilation is evidenced in numerous areas of American life andsociety, but specifically mentioned in the essay are politics, literature, business, and themilitary. A resurgence of interest and claims to Scottish ancestry are a result of the coregroups seeking recognition after the 60s; the influence of television and movies; and theinformation age conveniences of the internet and social media.

Teaching the discipline «Epidemiology» to foreign students is associated with certain difficulties due to both the lack of equivalents in the English language of terms and concepts used in Russia and the historically established difference in approaches to studying the occurrence and spread of diseases in human society. Schematically, in English-language literature and textbooks on epidemiology, the process of the occurrence of diseases is described on the model of the epidemiological triangle, in Russian literature – historically on the model of the epidemic process, the founder of the doctrine of which is L.V. Gromashevsky. The epidemiological triad is represented by the interaction of a human host, agent and environment – the basis of the epidemic process are 3 elements: the source of infection, the transmission mechanism and the susceptible organism. At first glance, the model of the epidemic process and the epidemiological triangle are somewhat similar. However, the model of the epidemic process according to L.V. Gromashevsky more clearly indicates the population level of the phenomenon, and the epidemiological triangle pays more attention /emphasis on the properties of the pathogen and its interaction with the human body (the level of organism) in the external environment. Teaching in the section «General epidemiology of infectious diseases» teaching about the epidemic process for foreign students is advisable to build from universal models such as the epidemiological triad, harmoniously combining the epidemiology of infectious and non-communicable diseases, followed by the separation of these concepts and the introduction of specific terminology adopted in Russia (source of infection, epidemic focus, transmission mechanism, transmission pathways). At the same time, along with non- communicable diseases, the processes of the spread of infections associated with the provision of medical care, sapronoses are most significantly illustrated with the help of an epidemiological triangle.

Relevance. Violation of the regulations on the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) by medical workers when providing medical care to patients with COVID-19 (COVID-19) at their workplaces and in other situations requiring PPE is fraught with serious consequences for the health and life of medical personnel and patients. Aims. To assess the impact of violations in the use of PPE on the incidence of COVID-19 of personnel of medical organizations of various profiles, including when providing medical care to patients with COVID-19. Materials and methods. The study used the method of cross-sectional retrospective simultaneous online questionnaire to assess the effectiveness of preventive measures against the spread of COVID-19, conducted from January to March 2022. The results of an anonymous online survey of various categories of personnel of medical, scientific and educational medical organizations of the Russian Federation providing medical care to patients with COVID-19 (n = 6032 people) were analyzed. Results. The study showed the greatest epidemiological significance in the formation of the risk of SARS-COV-2 infection by the irregular use of masks and gloves in the workplace (when providing medical care). The results of the assessment of the strength of the connection of violations in the use of personal protective equipment with infection with SARS-CoV-2 of the studied groups of personnel are presented. It is shown that the irregular wearing of face masks in the workplace when providing medical care has the most pronounced association with the risk of infection of all the factors studied. It is noted that statistically significantly more often the irregular use of masks and gloves in the workplace was allowed by students and nursing staff. Conclusions. The importance of compliance with the regulations for the use of personal protective equipment by medical workers is shown, not only when providing medical care to patients with COVID-19, but also at home, as well as the impact on the incidence of COVID-19 of the irregularity of the use of PPE by medical personnel in various conditions, including when providing medical care to patients with COVID-19.
Malignant Neoplasms of the Reproductive Organs as a Cause of Death of the Young Population in the Russian Federation
Authors: Yudina V. S.
Published: November 2023

Relevance. The demographic situation in the Russian Federation over the past decades has been characterized by negative dynamics, while the two key indicators, the ratio of which affects this, are birth and death rates. Of particular interest in this case are malignant neoplasms (MNs) of the organs of the reproductive system, which can both affect the decline in fertility, especially when it comes to the age group under 40, and make a significant contribution to the structure of the population mortality.Аim. Analyze the changes in mortality rates from cancer of the reproductive organs among the population aged 15 to 39 years, their dynamics and structure in the Russian Federation for 2011–2020.Materials and methods. To calculate the indicators, an analysis was carried out of the data of the forms of the federal state static observation on the distribution of the deceased by sex, age groups and causes of death by Rosstat (FSN-C51) and statistical information on the age and sex composition of the population of the territories of the Russian Federation.Results. The highest «crude» mortality rates were noted in the Siberian and Far Eastern Federal Districts (5.04 (95% CI = 4.49–5.58) and 5.00 (95% CI = 4.09–5.90) per 100 thousand of the population, respectively), the smallest – n the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District (2.58 (95% CI = 2.06 - 3.11) per 100 thousand of the population). Significant gender differences were also identified. Female mortality from malignancies of the reproductive organs was significantly higher (the "crude” mortality rate among women was found to be 7.57 (95% CI = 7.22–7.92) versus 0.72 (95% CI = 0.61–0.82) among men per 100 thousand) due to the dominance of oncological lesions of the cervix and mammary gland at an earlier age.Conclusion. The identified features of the manifestations of mortality from cancer of the reproductive organs for various territories and population groups can serve as a rationale for strengthening the existing preventive measures, such as vaccination against HPV, as well as for developing new strategies aimed at improving the demographic situation.

Published: November 2023

The article considers a comprehensive approach to the protection of information of a corporate multi-service communication network, which consists in the use of technical, hardware- program, and organizational-legal measures of protection. It was determined that the protection of information from unauthorized access and its leakage through technical channels is more effectively achieved by the use of technical means. In order to determine the direction of optimization of the corporate multi-service network protection complexes and general approaches to its implementation, a model of the communication network built according to the hierarchical principle is considered. The place of the corporate network in the communication network is determined. It is noted that a more rational approach to ensuring information protection should be considered the design stage, when it is possible to predict and implement a given level of protection. A general algorithm for designing a corporate network is proposed, which consists of the stages listed in the article. At the first stage, the selection and justification of the general topology of the protected corporate network adapted to the requirements of its users was carried out. The directions of the communication traffic between the sender and the recipient of information through the network are determined. Evaluation and calculation of information flows taking into account the scaling of the network, increasing the intensity and volume of traffic, the systematization of protection functions with the possibility of both generalization and localization of them are the subject of further research. When choosing the types of physical equipment for the provision and implementation of the specified classes and functions, protection is considered for three levels of the network: the hardware part of servers and workstations; communication equipment and communication channels; gateways, bridges and tunnels of the entire diameter of the network, including segments and domains. Identified directions for improving information protection at the hardware, channel, and network support levels. Based on the results of the research, it was concluded that the complexity of solutions to increase information protection is achieved in addition to the technical direction by hardware- software and organizational-legal ones.
