Authors: DÜNDAR Abdullah Oktay , AVŞAR Zehra , YÜKSEL Burak
Published: January 2025

Erkek egemen bir sektör olan lojistikte son yillarda kadin çalişan sayisinin gün geçtikçe arttiği görülmektedir. Bu sebeple sektörde kadin çalişanlar ile ilgili yapilan çalişmalarda bir artiş görülmektedir. Ancak sinirli sayidaki çalişmalar çalişma bölgesi ile ilgili bulgular içerdiğinden, genelleme yapilabilmesi için daha farkli bölgelerle ilgili çalişmalara da ihtiyaç bulunmaktadir. Bu çalişmanin amaci, Konya’da lojistik sektöründe çalişan kadinlarin iş hayatina ilişkin deneyimlerini anlamak, karşilaştiklari firsatlari ve zorluklari belirlemektir. Çalişma nitel araştirma yöntemlerinden derinlemesine mülakat yöntemi kullanilarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Konya’da lojistik sektöründe çalişan kadinlardan 6 asil ve 2 yedek olmak üzere toplam 8 kişi ile açik uçlu sorulardan oluşan derinlemesine mülakat gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalişma bulgularina göre; Türkiye’de lojistik eğitiminin yayginlaşmasinin kadinlarin bu sektördeki sayisinin artmasina neden olduğu, kadinin sahip olduğu analitik düşünce yapisinin sektörde başarili olmasini sağladiği, kariyer odakli ve hirsli kadinlarin sektörde çaliştiği, kadinlarin güçsüz olarak düşünüldüğü ve ön yarginin olduğu ancak kadinlarin iletişim ve taviz vermeden bu problemleri çözdüğü, kadinlarin saha işlerinden çok ofis işlerini tercih ettiği, zorluklara rağmen yöneticilerin kadin çalişanlari destekledikleri, ücretlerinin performanslarina göre belirlendiği ve sosyal haklarini kullanabildikleri belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak Konya’da lojistik sektöründe kadin sayisi halen yetersiz olmakla birlikte, sektördeki başarili kadinlarin sayisinin artmasi ve yöneticilerin kadin çalişanlari tercih ediyor olmasi ilerleyen yillarda kadin çalişan sayisinin artacağini göstermektedir. Diğer taraftan lojistik sektöründe çalişmak isteyen kadinlarin daha hirsli, kirilgan olmayan bir yapiya sahip olmasi ve esnek çalişma saatlerine uyum sağlayabilmesi gerekmektedir.

Authors: Gul Shereen
Published: January 2025

The United Statesof America has held a significant position in global politics as a superpower from the end of the Cold War to the present day. The geopolitics of South Asia has been of strategic importance to world powers due to their shortand long-term security and economic interests. The United States (US)approach toward the region has been a causeof concern for states, particularly India and Pakistan. As US interests change, it alters its regional alliance strategies, impacting the bilateral relations of regional states. Despite being an important non-NATO ally of the US, Pakistan could not secure its vital interests during the Cold War and after 9/11, leading to a relationship marked by suspicion and mistrust. On the other hand, India, though not a Cold War ally andnot a frontline state in the US campaign against terrorism, has enjoyed a special status with the US. The evolving dynamics of South Asia and China’s increasing role in the region have brought India and the US into closer cooperation, resulting in deep and widespread strategic engagement. This paper focuses on the implications of the USchanging role in the region, the complexities following its withdrawal from Afghanistan, and its continued close ties with India. It also suggests that Pakistan should analyseits new security, political, and economic challenges and develop a comprehensive policy to address them appropriately.

Authors: Радик В. В.
Published: January 2025

У сучасних умовах світової нестабільності та збройної агресії щодо України важливим є забезпечення дієвості санкцій через побудову ефективної системи санкційного контролю. Метою дослідження є запроповувати власний підхід до виділення етапів та завдань санкційного контролю. Для цього ми розглядаємо санкційний контроль як систему і як процес, що реалізовує санкційну політику країни. Основною гіпотезою є можливість розділення санкційного контролю як ряду послідовних та взаємопов’язаних етапів. У роботі використано низку загальнонаукових методів дослідження та розглянуто нормативно-правові акти, що регулюють використання санкційного механізму в Україні. Запропоновано розмежування санкційної політики, як діяльності щодо визначення загальних засад використання санкцій та формування, відкриття і закриття санкційних програм/режимів, та санкційного контролю як заходів щодо її реалізації. Виділено етапи санкційного контролю, а саме накладення, імплементація, примусове виконання та моніторинг ефективності. На етапі накладення забезпечується санкційний лістинг об’єктів персональних санкцій. Етап імплементації як впровадження санкційних обмежень розділено на міжнародний та національний рівні, а етап примусового виконання – на постійне виконання санкцій протягом всього періоду їхньої дії та державний нагляд за дотриманням вимог санкційного законодавства підпорядкованими економічними суб’єктами. Для кожного етапу перераховано основні завдання та розглянуто ключових суб’єктів, які забезпечують організацію його виконання в Україні. Теоретична цінність дослідження полягає у поглибленні розуміння санкційного контролю та його особливостей як процесу. Одержані результати можуть бути використані для вдосконалення методики оцінки ефективності санкційного контролю, що сприятиме виявленню прогалин у здійсненні окремих його етапів і завдань та сприятиме виробленню практичних рекомендацій щодо його вдосконалення. Новизна дослідження пов’язана з розробленням власного підходу до виділення етапів санкційного контролю, який враховує часові періоди їхнього здійснення та суб’єктний склад. Перспективи подальших досліджень включають розробку і розрахунок показників ефективності етапів санкційного контролю та визначення їхніх внесків у забезпечення ефективності санкцій.
Адвокатська діяльність як вид незалежної професійної діяльності: співвідношення з підприємницькою діяльністю в контексті статусу адвоката як платника податків
Authors: Ланцев В. М.
Published: January 2025

Стаття присвячена співвідношенню між адвокатською діяльністю та підприємницькою діяльністю в Україні. Актуальність теми дослідження пояснюється існуванням значної кількості випадків, коли адвокати, які ведуть індивідуальну адвокатську діяльність, одночасно реєструються як фізичні особи – підприємці. Це призводить до проблеми подвійного оподаткування доходів, отриманих від тотожної діяльності. Адвокат може здійснювати адвокатську діяльність в одній або декількох організаційних формах з вичерпного переліку: індивідуальна діяльність, адвокатське бюро, адвокатське об’єднання. Лише перша з цих форм підпадає під визначення незалежної професійної діяльності, оскільки дві інші форми передбачають створення юридичної особи, а незалежна професійна діяльність є діяльністю фізичних осіб. Адвокат, за загальним правилом, має право суміщати адвокатську діяльність як з підприємницькою діяльністю, так і з роботою за трудовим договором. Адвокату не заборонено реєструватися в якості фізичної особи - підприємця, а також бути засновником та керівником юридичних осіб, які не належать до адвокатських бюро та адвокатських об’єднань. Діяльність адвоката, який обрав індивідуальну форму діяльності та одночасно зареєстрований як фізична особа - підприємець з видом діяльності «діяльність у сфері права», з надання правничої допомоги його клієнтам – одночасно підпадає під визначення і незалежної професійної діяльності, і підприємницької діяльності. В податковому обліку це відображається шляхом присвоєння фізичній особі - підприємцю ознаки незалежної професійної діяльності. Участь адвоката у заснуванні, управлінні та діяльності юридичних осіб, які здійснюють діяльність у сфері права, але не належать до адвокатських бюро та адвокатських об’єднань, не є формою адвокатської діяльності. Стаття має емпіричний характер і заснована переважно на аналізі нормативно-правових актів з урахуванням існуючих досягнень правової доктрини.
Особливості впровадження інклюзивної освіти в Україні: виклики, стратегії та перспективи розвитку
Authors: Єфременко А. Г. , Луканська Г. А. , Багно Я. В.
Published: January 2025

Стаття присвячена дослідженню впровадження інклюзивної освіти в Україні, зокрема після прийняття важливих нормативно-правових актів, включаючи Закон України «Про інклюзивну освіту» (2017), який гарантує рівний доступ до освіти для дітей з особливими освітніми потребами. Підхід до організації інклюзивної освіти в Україні здебільшого базується на двох основних моделях: повній інклюзії та частковій інклюзії. Повна інклюзія передбачає навчання дітей з інвалідністю разом з іншими учнями в загальноосвітніх класах із додатковими корекційними заняттями, що сприяє їх соціалізації, але може бути неефективною для учнів із важкими порушеннями розвитку. Часткова інклюзія передбачає створення спеціалізованих класів у межах загальноосвітніх закладів, що дозволяє індивідуалізувати освітній процес, але може призводити до сегрегації учнів. Також проаналізовано проблему недостатньої підготовки вчителів до роботи з дітьми з особливими освітніми потребами, що залишається важливою перешкодою на шляху успішного впровадження інклюзивної освіти. Більшість учителів потребують додаткових курсів підвищення кваліфікації у сфері інклюзивної освіти. Ще однією перепоною є недостатнє ресурсне забезпечення шкіл, зокрема брак спеціалізованих навчальних матеріалів, допоміжних технологій і корекційних психологів, що ускладнює ефективне впровадження інклюзивних практик. Особливу увагу приділено соціальним бар’єрам, таким як стереотипи й упередження щодо дітей з інвалідністю, які можуть впливати на їх інтеграцію в суспільство. Створення безбар’єрного середовища та проведення інформаційно-просвітницької роботи серед населення є важливими етапами на шляху до соціалізації дітей з інвалідністю. Також розглянуто проблеми, що виникають при впровадженні інклюзивної освіти в сільській місцевості, де брак спеціалізованого персоналу та ресурсів ускладнює процес адаптації.
Navigating uncertainty: The role of tax avoidance and leverage in shaping firm value
Authors: Fajriyah Isna Lailatul , Hayunintyas Darrin Octavia Siski , Firmansyah Amrie
Published: January 2025

This study examines the effect of tax avoidance on firm value, with company leverage as a moderating variable, focusing on infrastructure companies during the Covid-19 pandemic. Using financial data from infrastructure companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange from 2020 to 2022, this study employed a purposive sampling method to select 22 companies, resulting in 66 observations. The findings reveal that tax avoidance practices during the Covid-19 pandemic do not have a significant relationship with firm value. Additionally, company leverage does not moderate the relationship between tax avoidance and firm value. During economic uncertainty caused by the pandemic, investors prioritize investment risk, potential returns, and market stability over tax avoidance practices. This study is limited to a sample of infrastructure sector companies during the pandemic, which restricts the generalizability of the findings. Future research could expand the scope by including samples from other sectors to provide a broader perspective on the relationship between tax avoidance and firm value during periods of economic disruption. This study contributes to the Financial Services Authority (OJK) by supporting efforts to oversee corporate financial strategies, including tax avoidance practices. These findings can assist OJK in developing balanced regulations that ensure corporate accountability while maintaining economic stability during periods of uncertainty.

This study evaluated the preliminary relationship between anchor tensile strength and concrete compressive strength through semi-destructive pull-out tests. Anchors were tested in concrete with compressive strengths of 18, 24, and 32 MPa, using mechanical (drop-in and wedge) and chemical anchors sized 8 and 10 mm, embedded at 40 mm depth. Results indicated that higher concrete compressive strength correlates with increased anchor tensile strength. On average, a 30–60% rise in concrete strength led to a 15–70% increase in anchor tensile strength, varying with anchor type and size. Chemical anchors demonstrated the highest tensile strength, followed by drop-in and wedge anchors, respectively. Additionally, 8 mm anchors generally exhibited higher tensile strength than 10 mm anchors. Two primary failure modes were observed: concrete failure and threaded rod failure. Concrete failure predominated in the tests. Despite yielding valuable insights, the study has limitations such as fixed drilling depth and limited anchor and concrete strength variations. Nevertheless, these findings lay a foundation for further research and development aimed at optimizing anchor performance in construction applications. In summary, this study underscores the initial link between anchor tensile strength and concrete compressive strength, emphasizing the influence of anchor type and size. Future studies could benefit from expanding these parameters to enhance the accuracy and applicability of anchor performance assessments in diverse construction scenarios.

The development of the electric meter system described in this article is titled as Development of a Real-Time Electricity Calculator System Using Machine Learning to Enhance Energy Efficiency. The primary objective is to improve household energy management through prediction and alerts regarding energy usage. The system is designed to collect electricity usage data and various environmental parameters from households, and it employs five machine learning models to identify the best model for this purpose. The chosen model, Support Vector Regression (SVR), is used to predict energy consumption. In the research methodology, the system records real-time energy usage data into a CSV file. The predictive features include temperature, number of occupants, house size, and appliance usage. This data is standardized before being used to train the SVR model. After training, the model’s predictions are evaluated using the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). The experimental results show that the SVR model effectively predicts electricity consumption, with a normalized RMSE of 57.56 and a cross-validation RMSE of 58.38, indicating the model’s accuracy. The visualizations provide a clear understanding of the overall relationship between actual and predicted values. Household electricity usage prediction enables users to plan energy consumption more efficiently, potentially reducing costs and improving energy efficiency. The development of this system can be applied in various fields, including industry and agriculture, to promote energy conservation and reduce environmental impact.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of 5G networks, ensuring Quality of Service (QoS) and efficient congestion management are paramount to meet the high demands of modern applications. This paper presents a comprehensive study on the integration of Smart Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) and Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) protocols, enhanced by advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques, to optimize QoS and manage congestion in 5G networks. We propose a novel framework that combines AI-driven algorithms with traditional congestion control mechanisms to dynamically adjust network parameters based on real-time traffic conditions and user demands. The Smart ECN protocol utilizes machine learning to predict and mitigate congestion before it impacts network performance, while the enhanced RSVP protocol leverages AI for intelligent resource allocation and QoS management. Through simulations and theoretical analysis, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in improving network efficiency, reducing latency, and ensuring reliable service delivery across diverse 5G scenarios. This study underscores the potential of AI to revolutionize congestion control and QoS optimization, paving the way for more resilient and adaptive 5G networks.

Beyond Bilingualism: A Discourse Analysis of Uzbek-Russian Code-Switching in Contemporary Uzbekistan
Authors: Sakurama Nakamura Mizuki
Published: January 2025

This study examines code-switching practices among Uzbek-Russian bilinguals in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. It employs discourse analysis to investigate the patterns, functions, and sociocultural implications of language alternation. Drawing on theoretical frameworks from Gumperz (1982), Myers-Scotton (1993), and Auer (1984), the research provides insights into the complex linguistic landscape of post-Soviet Central Asia. The study reveals that intra-sentential switching is the most prevalent form of code-switching, accounting for 58% of all instances. Contextual factors such as topic, setting, and participants' age significantly influence code-switching behavior. Russian is frequently employed for technical and professional terminology, reflecting its historical dominance in certain domains. The analysis demonstrates that code-switching serves various functions, including lexical gap filling, emphasis, quotation, and expression of group identity. Notably, code-switching plays a crucial role in identity construction, allowing speakers to navigate complex national, ethnic, and professional identities in post-Soviet Uzbekistan. The research extends existing theoretical models by proposing a "triglossic" framework that recognizes standard Uzbek, standard Russian, and mixed Uzbek-Russian as distinct varieties with different social functions. Additionally, the study introduces the concept of "post-Soviet linguistic hybridization" to describe the unique forms of language mixing observed. These findings contribute to our understanding of bilingualism in post-Soviet contexts and highlight the need for nuanced, context-sensitive approaches to language policy and education in multilingual societies. The study concludes that code-switching among Uzbek-Russian bilinguals is not merely a linguistic phenomenon but a complex social practice that reflects and constructs the unique post-Soviet identity of Uzbekistan.

Introduction: Touching the Wounds
Authors: Lysaught M. Therese
Published: January 2025

The paradigm shift toward the wounds of the world as a privileged locus theologicus reverberates throughout this issue of the Journal of Moral Theology. Each essay takes as its starting point for analysis and theological development the particularities of different wounds that are simultaneously social, bodily, and ecclesial. From the wounds of depression, moral injury, and trauma, to populist scapegoating in the Philippines and violence in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria, each essay first touches a place of woundedness, interrogates the church and received theology, and from there points in new directions for both moral theology and ecclesial practice.

Authors: Ozlusoylu İsmail , Istek Abdullah , Ergün Mehmet , Aydemir Deniz
Published: January 2025

In this study, the effect of using foamed urea-formaldehyde (UF) adhesive in the production of medium-density fiberboard (MDF) on the properties of the board was investigated. A commercial foaming agent was used to increase the volume of UF adhesive by approximately 2.5 times. MDFs were produced using 6, 9 and 12 % adhesive and 1 % ammonium chloride hardener relative to the dry weight of the adhesive. The thermal degradation behavior of the foamed and control adhesives was determined by thermal analysis i.e., thermogravimetric (TGA) and derivative thermogravimetric (DTG) analyses. It was found that the foaming agent did not affect the thermal degradation of the adhesive. Scanning electron microscope images showed that the volume of foamed adhesive and blending efficiency increased. It was determined that MDFs produced with foamed adhesive had better water absorption and thickness swelling properties than control boards. However, the internal bond strength (IB) and modulus of elasticity (MOE) were found to be 8-14 % and 3-16 % higher, respectively, compared to the control samples. As a result, it can be concluded that the foaming process had a positive effect on the board properties and had the potential to reduce the amount of adhesive used.

Authors: Aleru Kennedy , David-Sarogoro Nwiisuator , Jephter Burabari
Published: January 2025

The wood mechanical properties of Cola pachycarpa K Schum. were investigated within one of the tropical rainforest ecosystems of Rivers State. Three mature wood stands of Cola pachycarpa were harvested and used for the study. Samples of wood were collected from each of the different sections of the tree: the base (10 % height), middle (50 % height), and top (90 % height) along the axial plane. These samples were then divided into innerwood, corewood, and outerwood based on their radial position. Afterwards, the samples underwent oven drying until they reached a moisture content (MC) level of 12 %. The study was conducted using a 3 × 3 nested design in a completely randomized design (CRD). In cases where there were significant differences, the Duncan multiple range test (DMRT) was employed to separate the means. The results revealed that the MOR mean value was 5.89 N/mm2 with an increase from top to base along the axial plane and with an increase from outer to inner wood across the bole of the tree radially. The MOE mean value was 810.87 N/mm2 and it showed an increase from the base to the top axially, with an increase from the outer to inner wood radially. The mean value of CS//G recorded 34.62 N/mm2. It showed that there was an increase from base to top across the grain radially, and an increase from outer to inner wood. The findings of this study offer quantitative data on the potential use of Cola pachycarpa wood, which could be competitive with other well-known wood species and serve as a good replacement for commercially overexploited wood species.

Caloric restriction improves perceived exertion while conserving immunity, fatigue, inflammation, and physical performance in male professional soccer players
Authors: Garcia-Morales Gloria Ines , Díaz Gustavo , Niño Alexander , Del Campo Juan , Tejero-González Carlos
Published: January 2025

Purpose: In athletes, caloric restriction (CR) improves physiological mechanisms, although its effects on professional soccer players are unclear. This study aims to evaluate the effects of CR on physical performance, fatigue, and inflammation in male professional soccer players compared with a no-restriction diet. Methods: This was a controlled, randomized, parallel-group study with 28 participants. The experimental group received a CR diet (−25% of recommended energy intake; mean caloric intake: 2650 kcal/d). Controls received a normal caloric (NC) diet (mean caloric intake: 3500 kcal/d). Both groups received a protein supplement. Six weeks of intervention were followed by 6 weeks without intervention. Thereafter, the participants were allowed to eat ad libitum. The study evaluated leukocytes, lymphocytes, creatine phosphokinase (CPK), urea, testosterone, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), rate of perceived exertion (RPE), countermovement-jump (CMJ), and squat jump (SJ). Results: Average age was 27.6 ± 4.4 years. After 6 and 12 weeks, differences between the two groups were insignificant in terms of the immune response, fatigue (CPK, urea, testosterone, and cortisol), and inflammation (LDH) (p > .05). The CR group had lower RPE levels at 12 weeks (0.01 vs. 0.62 points; p = .001) than the NC group. Conclusion: CR is an effective intervention for male professional soccer players, because it decreased RPE while preserving biochemical parameters.

Authors: Silva Elisângela de Oliveira , Neves Sandra Mara Alves da Silva
Published: January 2025

A conservação ambiental e gestão sustentável do uso da terra são temas de relevância global, dada a significativa produção agrícola desenvolvida no Brasil. O objetivo do estudo é analisar a efetividade do Cadastro Ambiental Rural (CAR), na Bacia Hidrográfica do Córrego da Piraputanga no município brasileiro de Cáceres/MT, como mecanismo legal regulatório do uso da terra e de conservação ambiental. Utilizou-se as pesquisas bibliográfica, documental e geotecnologias para geração de dados e análise. Na área de estudo 79,61% dos CAR encontram-se em análise, 1,91% validados com pendência e 0,64% validado sem passivo ambiental. De 157 propriedades, 56,69% são minifúndios e  31,21% são de pequeno porte, com destinação a agricultura familiar. Além das questões técnicas administrativas operacionais, constatou-se que 26,28% das Áreas de Preservação Permanente na BHCP são ocupadas por pastagens, resultando em um passivo ambiental de 1,85 km². Verificou-se apesar do instrumento legal ser primordial para a regularização ambiental, a sua efetividade é limitada, por desafios operacionais, tais como: insuficiência de recursos humanos e alta demanda de processos administrativos para análises, sendo que para enfrentar este desafio o Estado em parceria com a SEMA-MT implantou o CAR digital em 2024. Conclui-se que na área de estudo o CAR não se apresenta efetivo, devido a desafios operacionais citados e a existência de passivo ambiental. Sugere-se investigação pós-implantação do CAR digital para avaliação da efetividade da modalidade, bem como atividades de educação ambiental, para sensibilizar os proprietários rurais da importância do CAR e seus benefícios socioambientais.
Hybrid cogeneration-photovoltaic systems to reduce energy costs and carbon footprint in large shopping malls

Published: January 2025

Shopping malls are significant energy consumers due to their size, operational complexity, and the need to maintain comfortable environments for high foot traffic. This study investigates the energy demand of a large shopping mall in Brazil, comparing the economic and environmental impacts of using a diesel generator versus the national grid to meet energy needs. Despite high residential electricity tariffs, reliance on the national grid remains more cost-effective than diesel generators. To address both cost and sustainability challenges, the study proposes an optimized hybrid energy solution integrating cogeneration with photovoltaic (PV) energy generation. In this system, a diesel generator powers an absorption chiller to meet the mall's cooling demand, while solar power supplements the electricity supply. Advanced simulation tools, such as NPro and PVSOL, were employed to model energy demand and evaluate the proposed system's performance. Although the hybrid system requires a higher initial investment, its long-term benefits include lower operational costs, reduced reliance on diesel generators, and a significant decrease in carbon emissions. This approach not only aligns with global decarbonization goals but also demonstrates financial viability. By bridging the gap between economic feasibility and environmental responsibility, the study highlights the potential of hybrid systems as a sustainable and efficient energy solution for energy-intensive commercial spaces, offering a cleaner and more sustainable energy future.

Introduction: In Thailand's evolving capital market, the increasing importance of Company Secretaries in public companies has highlighted the need for innovative tools, e.g. software, to manage tasks and ensure legal compliance.
 
Objective: This research examines the factors influencing Company Secretaries' decisions to adopt and use a web application designed to assist them in complying with Thailand's capital market laws.
 
Method: Employing a comprehensive literature review, the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was the theoretical foundation. The model, tested and validated using structural equation modeling on survey data from 360 professional Company Secretaries in Thai public companies, revealed key factors affecting application use.
 
Results: The study identified four main factors impacting user satisfaction and leading to intention to use the application: perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, trust, and innovation quality. The analysis also showed a significant relationship between innovation quality, user satisfaction, trust, and the intention of Company Secretaries to use the application.
 
Conclusion: This study uniquely explores the factors influencing user satisfaction and intention to use an application among professional Company Secretaries in Thailand's listed companies. Providing actionable insights supports listed companies in shaping policies to enhance technology adoption for improved legal compliance. It also lays a foundation for software developers and researchers to further investigate technology's role in the legal profession.
 
The originality: The study highlights the interplay among the four TAM variables: perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, trust, and innovation quality. By prioritizing innovation quality, user satisfaction, and trust as the most significant factors influencing the intention to use the application, the research provides a novel perspective on technology adoption in the legal sector. These findings contribute to understanding the critical elements driving technology acceptance, particularly among Company Secretaries, and emphasize the importance of aligning technological innovation with user trust and satisfaction.

Authors: Mbae Kawira Doreen , Silas Mwari Purity , Kiraki Monicah
Published: January 2025

The prevalence of maternal mental illness (MMI) among pregnant women is increasing, mainly due to complications arising from existing mental-health problems. Higgins notes that pregnancy is a psychological process and is likely to cause mental-health challenges in some women with about 15% to 25% affected.1 Osok, et al., states that for every three to five expectant women, one pregnant woman is reported to be mentally ill.2 However, there are arguments that MMI could be higher if there was adequate documentation. This study looked at staff knowledge in assessing MMI.
Hate speech as a flywheel Russian information warfare. Research reconnaissance
Authors: Sikorski Juliusz
Published: January 2025

It is hypothesized that hatred evolutionarily favored survival and defense against strangers, hence its expression is deeply rooted in human nature. This is reflected in contemporary technologically advanced communication, which is saturated with hateful content. Such content intensifies audience engagement and leads to the radicalization of attitudes. The content created in this manner also serves as a tool for information warfare and poses a threat to security on many levels.At the forefront of entities utilizing hate speech in their narratives is the Russian Federation. It uses hate speech in propaganda messages to destabilize states perceived as hostile and to achieve its own geopolitical objectives.In this article, the author analyzes the role of hate speech in Russian information warfare activities. The author posits that hate speech dynamizes these campaigns, demonstrating this through three case studies: "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion," the "Black Lives Matter" movement, and the war in Ukraine.
