Farmer’s Perception about Water Demand and Availability in Koga Irrigation Project Under Climate Change
Authors: Berhanu B. , Haile Alemseged Tamiru , Getnet K. , Amha Y.
Published: March 2023

Irrigation is certainly a means for farmers to adapt to climate variability and change. However, the impact of climate change on irrigated agriculture and possible options to deal with it still deserves more research. We therefore assessed farmer‟s perception on climate change and its impact on current and future water management in the Koga irrigation scheme in Lake Tana sub-basin, source of upper Blue Nile River. Farmers in Koga who used to entirely rely on rain fed agriculture stated that the major benefits of the scheme are multiple cropping, increased productions and profits, savings, children‟s school enrollment and in general better livelihoods. Despite these observed benefits more than half of the respondents expressed dissatisfaction with the current water allocation.  Farmers are concerned that climate variability and change might exasperate the current water allocation issues. For example, hail strom was cited as one of the major climate stress in the region by 60% of respondent. Seven out of ten respondents felt a change in rainfall pattern (onset and variability) in the past 20 years.Slightly less than half of the farmers believe that temperature has increased over the past two decades. More than half of the farmers anticipate future water shortages due to climate change and sedimentation. Almost all of the respondents do not use other water sources during times of water shortage. The main reasons for not using additional source of water are long distance from river water, and long distance between existing hand dug groundwater wells and cultivated lands. About 38%, 12% and 12% of the respondents suggest respectively digging groundwater wells, rainwater harvesting and improved governance as better strategies to deal with future water shortage. Measures that will solve existing water allocation problems and enable farmers to better deal with the anticipated future water shortages will increase the resilience of the scheme.
Evaluation and risk Assessment of potentially toxic trace metals in water, sediment and fish from the City of Addis Ababa, Central Ethiopia
Authors: Berhanu Alemnew , Berhanu Tarekegn , Okonkwo Jonathan O. , Leta Seyoum
Published: March 2023

Because of fast urban expansion and increased industrial activities, large quantities of solid and liquid wastes contaminated by trace metals are released into the nearby water bodies situated in Addis Ababa. Greater Akaki River (GAR) and Little Akai River (LAR), which join at Aba Samuel Reservoir, are the main rivers draining the city. Eleven (11) water, 11 sediment and 18 fish samples were taken and tested for the level of trace metals content, distribution, pollutionlevel, bioaccumulation, possible sources of pollutants and associated ecological risk. Trace metals were tested using an Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES). USEPA guideline values, geo-accumulation index, contamination factor, and pollution load index were used to evaluate contamination levels and eco-toxicity. The results indicated that the mean concentration of Cr, Fe, Mn and Ni in water samples and Cd, Pb, Mn, Ni and Zn insediment samples exceeded their respective background values. Besides, the levels of Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni and Pb in the muscle of Clarias gariepinus were above the permissible limits for human consumption. Furthermore, ecological risk assessments using sediment samples revealed the widespread pollution by Cd and Pband moderate pollution by Mn, Ni and Zn. A comparison with similar studies revealed that sediments from the study area had the highest average value of Pb. Generally, the study indicated that Akaki River catchment and Aba Samuel Reservoir were found to be moderately to strongly contaminated by heavy metals and thus posed high ecological risks.
Optimal Irrigation Scheduling of Garlic (Allium sativum L.) using Allowable Soil Moisture Depletion for Water Scarce Areas of Ethiopia
Authors: Tefera Ashebir Haile , Kebede Solomon Gezie , Mola Gebeyehu Tegenu
Published: March 2023

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the responses of garlic to the irrigation regime (when and how much) to irrigate. The field experiment was conducted at the main station of Debre Zeit Agricultural Research Center in 2016 and 2017. Five treatments for allowable soil moisture depletion levels (ASMDL) of irrigation at 60%, 80%, 100%, 120%, and 140% were used. Application of irrigation water for garlic was scheduled when 30% of the total water available in the soil profile was depleted. Treatments’ were laid out in RCBD experimental design with three replications for each treatment. In the study, it was observed that there was a significant difference in marketable yield and water use efficiency (WUE) between treatments. The maximum marketable bulb yield (7.5 t/ha) and WUE were observed by applying irrigation water at 20% more than the recommended ASMDL and the lowest (4.68 t/ha) was recorded at 40% less than the recommended ASMDL. Reducing the allowable soil moisture depletion level by 40% and also by 20% from the recommended fraction (0.30) has significantly increased the water use efficiency. Generally, from this study it has been observed that irrigating garlic at a shorter frequency enhance yield and water productivity. Therefore, managing the soil moisture content above the allowable depletion level (i.e 60% ASMDL and 80% ASMDL) was better than using the recommended allowable depletion and the other lower levels. Hence, to have a higher yield and maximum water productivity, it was recommended to irrigate garlic frequently.
Remembrance of Things Past: Feminisation of Narrative in Margaret Laurence’s The Stone Angel and Rohinton Mistry’s Family Matters
Authors: Chakraborty (Bhattacharya) Dr. Indira
Published: March 2023

Human beings are inherently storytelling creatures. Whatever they do, think, speculate, speak, or even dream does follow a narrative – a pattern that essentially tells a story. Coherence in storytelling is probably a naturalized phenomenon, necessarily inbuilt. Interestingly, the ability of narration and gaining wisdom both are something which happen throughout one’s lifetime. It has been observed time and again that gerontologists have shown intertwining dimensions of ageing and these therefore, in turn, attach increasing importance to the study of gerontology –they include ‘temporal’, ‘spiritual’ and ‘poetical’ aspects of growing. Arriving at the human tendency of storytelling, it can be stated that the narrative of any story is something that human beings use to understand the ‘temporality’ of life, one with which they attribute meaning and logic and hence add coherence to their life, overtly or otherwise. Thus, the purpose of this essay obviously would be to question the ‘claims’ of this ‘age’ and ‘ageing’ narrative of many gerontologists which in turn can be substantiated by fictional characters like Hagar Shipley from Margaret Laurence’s The Stone Angel and also Nariman Vakeel from Rohinton Mistry’s Family Matters and also question how certain age-old attributes of ageing can be questioned through these literary texts
Dismantling the Panoptical Narrative of the Doctrine of Discovery: A Critical Study of the Symbolic Misrepresentation of First Nations People
Authors: Batta Dr. Rekha
Published: March 2023

The present paper focuses on the panoptical narrative of the Doctrine of Discovery which has remained entrenched in the colonial discourse of Europeans in North America. The narrative of Doctrine, which has its roots in the early medieval period, has been used as a racist paradigm to violate the fundamental rights of the indigenous peoples. In the eighteenth century, the Doctrine became a legal document to assimilate and annex the lands of the First Nations in Canada. The Doctrine focused on assimilating the non-whites into the mainstream culture through their mythical fabrication. The symbolic misrepresentation of indigenous peoples in mainstream literary and cultural works has facilitated the oppression of the indigenous communities
Grandmother as a Narrator in Raja Rao’s Kanthapura – A Critique
Authors: Rather Nadeem Ahmad
Published: March 2023

For any literary work, the narrative technique constitutes one of the essential requisites. How the art of narration is chiseled in a literary work is what lends it artistic and emotional credibility. In Kanthapura, Raja Rao experiments with the narrative technique. The novel is presented from the viewpoint of an old grandmother who relates the tale of the brave resistance of the people of Kanthapura to expel the British from India. The ancient Indian Puranic method has been preferred to the western narrative technique, which according to Raja Rao, suits the Indian credo and climate. In Kanthapura, Raja Rao sought to defamiliarize the English language by bringing to the standard English form Indian thought and feeling, Indian culture, and Indian ideology. The present paper essays to investigate how Raja Rao used different elements and structures in narrating Kanthapura as experimenting tools to lend the novel a lasting artistic quality that served the purpose he had in mind. The reliability of the narrator in her description and narration of incidents and characters will be under scrutiny.
The Scope of Feminist Linguistics for Literary Texts: An Analysis of Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s The Palace of Illusions
Authors: Sharma Dr. Saumya
Published: March 2023

Often literary analyses include a discussion of figures of speech, characters and thematic issues from a theoretical perspective but issues of language and gender have received little attention from literary commentators. Drawing on the writings of Robin Lakoff and Deborah Tannen, two celebrated feminist linguists, this paper seeks to highlight how concepts from the area of language and gender can provide deeper insights into literary texts and the interaction of characters. To this effect, the present study examines three aspects – conversational style, the polysemous meanings of linguistic strategies and the use of sexist language – explicating these in Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s The Palace of Illusions.

Dust Acoustic Multi-soliton Collisions in a Dusty Plasma Using Hirota Bilinear Method
Authors: Khaled Mahmood Ahmed Hassan , Shukri Mohamed Ali , Hager Yusra Abd-Ulrahman
Published: March 2023

The propagation and collision of dust acoustic (DA) multi-solitons in a four component dusty plasma which consists of negatively and positively charged cold dust fluids, Boltzmann distributed electrons and ions have been studied in the presence of a polarization force acting on dust grains. Using the reductive perturbation technique (RPT), the Korteweged-de Vries (KdV) equation is derived. By using the Hirota bilinear method, the two-and three-soliton solutions of the obtained KdV equation have been successfully obtained. Phase shifts of the two-soliton and three-soliton have been deduced. It has been found that both compressive and rarefactive solitons exist in current dusty plasma model. The polarization force plays a significant role in the overtaking collision process of two-soliton and three-soliton, in such a way that the amplitude of the compressive (rarefactive) solitons decreases (increases) as polarization force increases. It was also found that the phase shifts are significantly affected by the dusty plasma parameters such as the dust charge number ratio, ion-to-electron temperature ratio, negative-to-positive dust mass ratio, the ratio of the densities of electrons to ions and the polarization force parameter.

Zayd Mutee Dammaj’s Short Story "A Woman" and the Concept of the Gaze: a Critical and Contextual Reading
Authors: Al-Wadhaf1 Yahya Hassan , Manqoush Riyad Abdurahman
Published: March 2023

This paper attempts to analyze a short story by Zayd Mutee Dammaj, a late Yemeni novelist and short story writer (1943-2000). The story is entitled "A woman", written originally in Arabic, but translated later into English by May Jayyusi and Christopher Tingly. Building on an eclectic theoretical frame work, the paper demonstrates how the concept of gaze is employed by the narrator to communicate masculine and feminine connotations. Reading this short story closely takes us back into the socio-cultural circumstances of the old Sana'a city of the 70s and 80s generation inhabiting the city, a reality-like picture is transposed to the reader where senses of contact such as sight, smell, taste and enjoyment are intermingled in this narrative line.

Authors: Al-Asbahi Amin Abdu , Al- shahethi Mohammed Ali
Published: March 2023

The main objective of this study was to determine the how common secondary bacterial infections that are isolated from patients with cutaneous and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis in Thamar City- Yemen. This study included patients admitted to the Skin Disease Unit and the Thamar General Hospital lab between August 2020 and January 2021. Clinical samples were examined using standard parasitological and bacteriological methods. The study included 81 patients, and leishmania was found in 60 (74 percent) of them. Bacterial infections had also infected 60 cases. The most common secondary infection bacterial causative agents found in this study were 30 isolates (38%) of kocuria spp out of the total number 79 bacterial isolates, 28 (35.4%) isolates of Bacillus spp., 12 (15.2%) isolates of P. aeruginosa and 9 (11.4%) isolates of S. aureus. Sensitivity testing revealed that 16% of S. aureus was resistant to Azithromycin, 35% of Kocuria spp. were resistant to Cefotaxime and 30% were resistant to Ceftriaxone, 36% of Bacillus spp. were resistant to Azithromycin, and 20% were resistant to Ceftriaxone, 8.3% of P. aeruginosa were resistant to Azithromycin and 10% were resistant to Ceftriaxone. The majority of isolates (35–50%) were sensitive to Ofloxacin and Ciprofloxacin. The recent article's results indicate that bacterial infections are still a significant problem in patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis in Yemen, and should be considered when treating these patients.

Magnetoacoustic Waves in a Dissipative Quantum Plasma With Spin-1/2 and Exchange-Correlation Effects
Authors: Loqman Ibrahim G. H , Khaled Mahmood A. H. , Alkuhlani Kauther I
Published: March 2023

Using quantum magneto-hydrodynamic theory, the nonlinear propagation of magnetoacoustic waves have been investigated in a quantum magneto-plasma having dissipative ions fluid as well as quantum electrons and positrons, including exchange-correlation and electrons/positrons spin effects. The Korteweg-devris-Burger equation is derived employing the reductive perturbation method. It has been found that the quantum magneto-plasma system under consideration supports buth magnetoacoustic solitary and shock waves depending on the values of the plasma parameters. The effects of quantum plasma parameters (such as exchange-correlation coefficients, magnetic field strength, kinematic viscosity and the concentrations of electrons and positrons) on the magnetoacoustic shock waves (both monotonic shock waves and oscillatory shock waves) are examined. The profiles of both monotonic and oscillatory shock waves are found to be significantly affected by these parameters.The results of the current study may be useful to understand the properties of magnetoacoustic waves propagating in dense space plasma environments where the quantum mechanical effects of electrons and positrons are included.
The Various Dimensions of Cyberthreats: (In)consistencies in the Global Regulation of Cybersecurity
Authors: Wessel Ramses A. , Nascimento Heim Tatiana
Published: March 2023

The main aim of the present paper is to revisit the different dimensions of cyberthreats and to classify them on the basis of definitions and descriptions used in international instruments with a view to establish (in)consistencies between the various norms. In the framework of a larger project on this topic, we have selected a number of key instruments with the aim of comparing the various norm-descriptions and definitions. Yet, cybersecurity threats are difficult to classify because of the overlapping categories, and the fact that the activities can originate from an individual actor or from non-state actors and groups. This paper finds that, despite the quite fragmented regulatory systems around the world, there is to a very large extent agreement on the basic notions and definitions.

La revolución de la información permite un acceso amplio y rápido a los datos, pero también permite o amplía la posibilidad de que terceros traten de dañar los sistemas y causar daños. A pesar de la creciente sofisticación de los ataques, el conocimiento técnico del usuario de hecho está disminuyendo. Eso puede explicarse por el hecho de que los scripts de ataque y los kits de herramientas están disponibles de manera asequible, con efectos devastadores para la sociedad. Cualquier ordenador con acceso a Internet, hoy en día es vulnerable a amenazas como virus, gusanos y otros ataques. Las amenazas a la ciberseguridad son difíciles de clasificar, ya que las diferentes categorías se superponen y las actividades pueden derivarse de un solo sujeto o de actores y grupos complejos y globales. Las amenazas cibernéticas se diferencian de los problemas de seguridad tradicionales, principalmente, en lo que respecta a la atribución de su jurisdicción, ya que un ataque cibernético se puede realizar desde cualquier lugar, sin que el actor tenga que salir de casa. En ese sentido, el enfoque principal del presente documento es revisar las diferentes dimensiones de las ciberamenazas y clasificarlas sobre la base de las definiciones y descripciones utilizadas en los instrumentos internacionales. Todo ello con el fin de establecer (in)coherencias entre las diversas normas. Nuestros hallazgos sugieren que, a pesar de los sistemas regulatorios bastante fragmentados en todo el mundo, existe un acuerdo general sobre las nociones y definiciones básicas. Esto ofrece un buen punto de partida para los debates en curso sobre una mayor armonización de las normas mundiales sobre ciberseguridad y la persecución del ciberdelito.
Éxitos y fracasos de la diplomacia del clima de la Unión Europea en la COP27 de Sharm el-Sheikh de 2022

La 27ª Conferencia de las Partes de la Convención Marco sobre el Cambio climático, del Protocolo de Kioto y del Acuerdo de París (COP 27) que se ha celebrado en Egipto, en la ciudad de Sharm El-Sheikh, en Noviembre de 2022, ha hecho necesario evaluar la capacidad de la Diplomacia del Clima de la Unión Europea para adaptarse a los nuevos retos que se han planteado en esta COP, marcada por las exigencias de los países que se agrupan bajo el título del Sur Global. En esta COP 27, se ha escenificado igualmente una división en las posiciones sostenidas por los países industrializados y por los que están liderados por China, porque el problema del cambio climático es ya una emergencia y una responsabilidad común que debe diferenciarse en función de las emisiones acumuladas a lo largo de los dos últimos siglos. Es necesario examinar los puntos de partida de la Unión Europea y de sus Estados miembros que defienden la dimensión global del Green Deal, el Pacto Verde necesario para conseguir la transición hacia una economía descarbonizada. También hay que analizar las posturas de los Estados Unidos y de China y la de los países en vías de desarrollo respecto a las grandes cuestiones a abordar, en la que ya ha sido llamada la Cumbre de África. Ante este nuevo escenario, es necesario ver cuáles son las posturas de la Unión Europea que pueden mantener su influencia y su credibilidad como potencia normativa en la lucha contra el cambio climático o que, por el contrario, pueden contribuir a su pérdida de influencia y liderazgo.
EVALUACIÓN DEL REANALYSIS (NCEP/NCAR) PARA EL ESTUDIO DE LA VARIABILIDAD TERMO-PLUVIOMÉTRICA DEL NOROESTE ARGENTINO
Authors: Ferrelli Federico , Brendel Andrea Soledad , Piccolo María Cintia
Published: March 2023

This study aims at assessing the precision of Reanalysis NCEP/NCAR for characterizing the thermal and rainfall variability in Northwest Argentina. Time series registered in situ and downloaded from Reanalysis were processed for the 1960-2020 period. Standard statistical techniques were applied, and subsequently, the spatial variation of temperature and rainfall was studied by applying the Kriging method. Finally, we analyzed both series with quantile regression. We divided the time series into ten quantiles and studied the adjustments. Results evidenced that both temperature and rainfall had statistical adjustments (p < 0.05), indicating that data from Reanalysis allowed the characterization of the spatial distribution of these variables with high accuracy. Air temperature registered higher results than rainfall. Nevertheless, when we studied the extremes, we observed significant differences. The temperature was reasonably adjusted in temperate and arid climates, while rainfalls presented significant results in the middle quantiles but not so in the extreme quantiles. The results obtained are an essential database for climate studies on a regional scale and for the design of land use plans to improve population’s quality of life and the environment.

El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar la precisión del modelo numérico Reanalysis NCEP/NCAR para la caracterización de la variabilidad termo-pluviométrica del Noroeste Argentino. Series meteorológicas in situ y modeladas del período 1960-2020 fueron estudiadas con técnicas estadísticas estándar. La variación espacial de la temperatura y la precipitación fue calculada con el método de interpolación Kriging. Un análisis de regresión cuantílica se aplicó a las series de tiempo. Para ello, las series fueron divididas en diez cuantiles y se evaluaron sus ajustes. Los resultados para ambas variables presentaron ajustes estadísticos significativos (p < 0,05), indicando que los datos del modelo Reanálisis permiten caracterizar la distribución espacial de estas variables. La temperatura del aire registró mejores resultados que la precipitación. Sin embargo, al estudiar los eventos extremos, se observaron diferencias importantes. La temperatura mostró buenos ajustes en los climas templados, seguidos por los climas áridos. La precipitación mostró ajustes significativos en los cuantiles medios, pero no así en los cuantiles extremos. Los resultados demostraron que el Reanalysis permite estudiar las características climáticas de la región NOA, pero no sus eventos extremos térmicos y pluviométricos. Además, esta base de datos es esencial para el estudio del clima a escala regional y para el diseño de planes de ordenamiento del territorio.
El personal sanitario frente a la violencia obstétrica. Una primera aproximación para el debate
Authors: Cordones Carmona María , Blázquez Vilaplana María Belén
Published: March 2023

Normalising, naturalising or silencing the violence that women suffer during pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium period is both a common practice and behaviour in many societies, as well as a space for demands. What is known as obstetric violence, despite being recognised as such by different international organisations, continues to be a practice that is denied and, unfortunately, carried out assiduously. Far from turning childbirth into a positive experience, it has negative consequences for the woman in the short, medium and even long term, both physically, psychologically and emotionally.

The aim of this paper is to present some of the results of a research project we have been carrying out at the Faculty of Social Work of the University of Jaen. In it, we analysed the knowledge of health personnel about obstetric violence and the different existing protocols in relation to the process of pregnancy and childbirth. 

Through a questionnaire with open and closed questions, we inquired about the identification - or not - that these personnel have about these practices. Knowing what they know and how they act is the first step towards, on the one hand, making it visible and, on the other, making proposals to eradicate it

 

Normalizar, naturalizar o silenciar la violencia que las mujeres sufren durante el embarazo, el parto y el puerperio es tanto una práctica y conducta común en muchas sociedades como un espacio de reivindicación. La conocida como violencia obstétrica, a pesar de ser reconocida como tal por distintos organismos internacionales, sigue siendo una práctica negada y, desgraciadamente, realizada con asiduidad. La misma, lejos de convertir el parto en una experiencia positiva, tiene consecuencias negativas para la mujer a corto, medio e incluso a largo plazo, tanto en el plano físico como en el psicológico y emocional.

El objetivo de este trabajo es exponer algunos de los resultados de una investigación que venimos realizando en la Facultad de Trabajo Social de la Universidad de Jaén. En ella, analizamos el conocimiento del personal sanitario acerca de la violencia obstétrica y de los distintos protocolos existentes en relación al proceso del embarazo y del parto. A través de un cuestionario con preguntas abiertas y cerradas, se indaga sobre la identificación – o no – que este personal tiene acerca de estas prácticas. Saber qué saben y cómo actúan es el primer paso para, por una parte, visibilizarla y, por otra, realizar propuestas que permitan su erradicación.
Análisis Descriptivo, acceso de las Mujeres Oaxaqueñas a la Educación y su distribución en el Sector Económico
Authors: Ramales Osorio Martín Carlos , García Jiménez Ricardo
Published: March 2023

It is questioned whether access to the different levels of the Oaxacan educational system, by the group of women, is associated with a series of social and cultural factors related to gender. The objective of the work is to show that women are relatively marginalized and excluded in entering basic education, but not in higher education. The present work assumes a descriptive-qualitative method that is aided by the compilation of cross-sectional socioeconomic indicators obtained from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography and the Government of Oaxaca, using theories related to gender that provide explanations that coincide with the phenomenon. It was shown that access to basic education continues to marginalize girls and adolescents, a situation associated with a macho culture and patriarchal families; This is not the case in higher education, where female enrollment exceeds male enrollment, but this does not translate into a homogeneous distribution at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and does not have repercussions on an improvement in employment and wages for Oaxacan women. Situation that is explained by the so-called "Glass Ceilings" and the cultural arbitrary imposed on women.

Se cuestiona si el acceso a los diferentes niveles del sistema educativo oaxaqueño, por el grupo de mujeres, está asociado a una serie de factores sociales y culturales relacionados al género. El objetivo del trabajo es mostrar que las mujeres se encuentran relativamente marginadas y excluidas en el ingreso a la educación básica, pero no así en la educación superior. El presente trabajo asume un método de tipo descriptivo-cualitativo que se auxilia de la recopilación de indicadores socioeconómicos de corte transversal obtenidos del Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía y del Gobierno de Oaxaca, utilizando teorías relativas al género que provean explicaciones que coincidan con el fenómeno. Se demostró que el acceso a la educación básica sigue marginando a niñas y adolescentes, situación asociada a una cultura machistas y familias de tipo patriarcal; no así en la educación superior que la matricula femenina llega a superar a la masculina, pero esto no se traduce en una distribución homogénea a nivel licenciatura y posgrado, y no repercute en una mejora laboral y salarial de la oaxaqueñas. Situación que se explica por los llamados “Techos de Cristal” y los arbitrarios culturales que se imponen a las mujeres.

Authors: Atabekov Atabek Rustamovich
Published: March 2023

Within the framework of this article, a comparative analysis of existing approaches to the implementation of technical regulation of artificial intelligence in the public law of Russia and foreign countries is carried out. As part of the comparative analysis, the basic problems in the field of proper technical and public regulation of artificial intelligence in the world practice are identified, the practice of technical regulation in Russia is considered separately, and possible compensatory legal measures are proposed to ensure transparent and proper practice of technical regulation of artificial intelligence in the field of public administration in Russia. The subject of the study is the legal relations of public authorities in the field of technical regulation in relation to artificial intelligence. The object of the study is the regulatory documents, recommendations and other documents regulating the implementation of the autonomy of artificial intelligence for the purposes of public legal relations in Russia and foreign countries, academic publications and analytical reports on the issues under study. The research methodology integrates a complex of modern philosophical, general scientific, special scientific methods of cognition, including dialectical, systemic, structural-functional, hermeneutical, comparative legal, formal legal (dogmatic), etc. Within the framework of this study, special emphasis is placed on the implementation of a comparative legal study of the problems of ensuring the proper quality of technical regulation of artificial intelligence through the prism of the actions of standardization bodies and other public authorities. The considered typical situations, the current practice of technical regulation of artificial intelligence, as well as the methods proposed by the author can be reflected in the legislative and law enforcement practice of relevant authorities responsible both for technical regulation and for ensuring the integration of this technology into the sphere of public legal relations.
Ambiguous Results when Using Parallel Class Methods within the .NET Framework

Parallel programming is a way of writing programs that can run in parallel on multiple processors or cores. This allows programs to process large amounts of data or perform more complex calculations in a reasonable amount of time than would be possible on a single processor. The advantages of parallel programming: increased performance, load sharing, processing large amounts of data, improved responsiveness, increased reliability. In general, parallel programming has many advantages that can help improve the performance and reliability of software systems, especially with the increasing complexity of computational tasks and data volumes. However, parallel programming can also have its own complexities related to synchronization management, data races, and other aspects that require additional attention and experience on the part of the programmer. When testing parallel programs, it is possible to get ambiguous results. For example, this can happen when we optimize concatenation of float- or double-type data by means of For or ForEach methods of the Parallel class. Such behavior of a program makes you doubt about the thread safety of the written code. Such a conclusion can be incorrect and premature. The article reveals a possible reason for ambiguity of the results received by a parallel program and offers a concise solution of the question.
Philosophical Analysis of the Special Theory of Relativity on the Correspondence of its Content to the Necessary Condition of its Objectivity.
Authors: Popov Nikolai Andreevich
Published: March 2023

The subject of this study is the special theory of relativity (SRT) by A. Einstein, the debate about which has been going on for more than a hundred years. The aim of the study is to evaluate SRT from the side of whether everything that is discussed in this theory and thus in the new, relativistic physics is possible in nature itself. At the same time, the author pays special attention to three issues: the principle of relativity, the necessary condition for the objectivity of the content of scientific theories and the Einstein style of scientific thinking, which predetermined the ideological component of SRT and all relativistic physics. But such issues as relativistic reductions of lengths and durations, the relativity of simultaneity and a single space-time do not remain without attention. The study revealed the fallacy of a long-standing and widespread opinion about the relativity of properties. The necessary condition for the objectivity of scientific theories is revealed. The natural form of expression of quantities is revealed and the non-relative nature of all natural quantities is shown. The hidden form of relativity inherent in the SRT postulate about the constancy of the speed of light in all inertial reference frames and extended in SRT to the magnitude of all lengths and durations considered in it is revealed. It is shown that such relativity is based on the dependence of the quantities on the choice of their reflection systems. It is shown that such dependence is impossible in nature itself. It is concluded that the SRT is erroneous. At the same time, the factors that served as favorable ground for the emergence and spread of this erroneous theory are listed.
Los ODS en distribución comercial
Authors: Durán Álamo Patricia , Cuesta Valiño Pedro , Penelas Leguía Azucena
Published: March 2023

Objetivo: Con la Agenda 2030 y los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS), muchas compañías están enfocando sus acciones de RSC al cumplimiento de estos objetivos. Las empresas de distribución comercial tienen un papel protagonista ya que influyen en la cadena de producción y consumo de la población. Por ello, el objetivo de esta investigación es entender cómo los principales hipermercados y supermercados utilizan las páginas webs e Instagram, en el proceso de comunicación de las acciones de RSC basadas en los ODS. Además, de entender si estas acciones generan felicidad en los consumidores españoles, entendida esta como una sensación continua que surge como consecuencia de un estado psicológico positivo.
Diseño/Metodología: Se ha empleado una metodología doble en la que se han analizado datos secundarios de los perfiles de Instagram y las páginas webs. Por otro lado, se ha realizado una investigación descriptiva transversal basada en una encuesta, de la que se han conseguido 300 encuestas válidas a través de un muestreo no probabilístico de conveniencia por cuotas, para entender como de feliz se sienten los consumidores cuando estas empresas impulsan los ODS.
Resultados: Los resultados de la investigación reflejan el interés real de los encuestados y de las compañías analizadas por los ODS. Además, revelan que la variable género y edad no influye considerablemente en la felicidad de los encuestados y que hay margen de mejora en la comunicación a través de Instagram.
Limitaciones/implicaciones: La principal limitación reside en que solo se analiza el sector de la distribución comercial español y solo dos entornos digitales: página web e Instagram.
Originalidad/Contribuciones: Aporta una buena perspectiva de cómo las principales empresas de distribución comercial en España comunican en el entorno digital su compromiso con los ODS. Además, de analizar el efecto que produce dicho compromiso en la felicidad de los consumidores españoles.

Published: March 2023

Background and Objectives: Recently, the improvement of music perception abilities for emotional stability and high quality of life has become important for the hearing loss group. This study aimed to examine and compare the music perception abilities of the normal hearing (NH) and hearing amplification system (HAS) groups to find the needs and methods of music rehabilitation.Subjects and Methods: The data were collected from 15 NH adults (33.1±11.4 years) and 15 HAS adults (38.7±13.4 years), of whom eight wore cochlear implant [CI] systems and seven wore CI and hearing aid systems depending on pitch, melody, rhythm, timbre, emotional reaction, and harmony perception tests. A mismatch negativity test was also conducted, and attitudes toward and satisfaction with listening to music were measured.Results: The correction percentages for the NH and HAS groups were 94.0%±6.1% and 75.3%±23.2% in the pitch test; 94.0%±7.1% and 30.3%±25.9% in the melody test; 99.3%±1.8% and 94.0%± 7.6% in the rhythm test; 78.9%±41.8% and 64.4%±48.9% in the timbre test; 96.7%±10.4% and 81.7%±16.3% in the emotional reaction test; and 85.7%±14.1% and 58.4%±13.9% in the harmony test, respectively, showing statistical significance (p<0.05). For the mismatch negativity test, the area of the waveform was smaller in the HAS groups than in the NH groups, with 70 dB of stimulation showing no statistical significance. The response rates for satisfaction with listening to music were 80% and 93.3% for the NH and HAS groups, showing no statistical significance.Conclusions: Although the HAS group showed lower music perception ability than the NH group overall, they showed a strong desire for music listening. Also, the HAS group revealed a higher degree of satisfaction even when listening to unfamiliar music played with unusual instruments. It is suggested that systematic and constant musical rehabilitation based on musical elements and different listening experiences will improve music perception qualities and abilities for HAS users.

The trial was carried out to identify suitable potato genotypes for high hills of Karnali province of Nepal. The genotypes were received from International Potato Centre (CIP), Lima, Peru through National Potato Research Program (NPRP) and evaluated for two consecutive years 2017 and 2018 at Horticulture Research Station (HRS), Rajikot, Jumla, Nepal (2396 masl). Nine nutrient dense potato genotypes with two checks i.e. Desiree and Jumli Local in on-station trial were tested in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Fertilizer was used at the rate of 100:100:60 kg NPK/ha and 20 t/ha compost. Well sprouted tubers of seed size (25-50 g) were planted at a spacing of 60cm x 25cm. The effects of different genotypes were recorded for both vegetative as well as yield parameters. There is a significant difference among tested genotypes for vegetative (emergence percentage at 30 days after planting & 45 days after planting, uniformity, ground coverage, plant height, number of main stems) as well as yield parameters (total number of tubers and tuber yield per ha). The highest tuber yield (46.93 t/ha) was recorded from genotype T 304351.109 followed by genotype T 304368.46 (41.46 t/ha) and genotype T 302498.7 (32.69 t/ha) among the nutrient dense potato genotypes. Similarly, late blight scoring was minimum (score 1) in all these three genotypes. The results of both years showed that potato genotypes T 304351.109, T 304368.46 and T 302498.7 are promising for cultivation in high hills of Karnali province to combat the malnutrition as well as ensure nutritional security.

Authors: Alao-Owunna Ifeoluwa , Adediwura Olamide M.
Published: March 2023

The study examined the impact of information communication technology, using the internet usage and telephone subscription as a proxy on economic growth in Nigeria between 1996 and 2020. Auto Regressive Distribution lag (ARDL) method of estimation was used to achieve the objective of the study. Empirical findings established that, there exists a relationship between internet usage and telephone subscription on economic growth in Nigeria. Hence, the result shows that mobile telephone subscription has a positive and significant effect on economic growth both in short run and long run, while Internet Usage revealed a negative and insignificant relationship with the economic growth in Nigeria. Though it was expected that the result for Internet Usage should be positive and significant but it was otherwise; this could be as a result of numerous problems facing the Nigerian economy such as lack of power supply, high poverty lever and high ICT illiteracy rate. The key policy implication drawn from the result is that the underlined problems facing the economy need immediate and accurate intervention to experience the true dividend of internet access and its usage.
