Providing a comprehensive traffic safety analysis collected by two LiDAR sensors at a signalized intersection
Authors: Ansariyar Alireza
Published: October 2023

This study investigates the application of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensor technology for data collection at signalized intersections characterized by a high rate of traffic crashes. The research aims to provide valuable insights into the potential of LiDAR-based data analysis to enhance road safety and traffic management at signalized intersections. The research methodology involved the deployment of LiDAR sensors at Marlboro Pike & Brooks Dr. signalized intersection in Coral Hills, Maryland. Two LiDAR sensors installed in this intersection to collect high-resolution, three-dimensional data of the intersection area from June, 1st to July, 7th 2023. The data included information on vehicle trajectories, speeds, and behaviors, as well as pedestrian and cyclist movement patterns. Concurrently, historical traffic crashes recorded and traffic flow data were obtained for the same intersection. The analysis of LiDAR data involved several key aspects including LiDAR data allowed for a precise evaluation of traffic flow patterns, including congestion points, traffic volume fluctuations, and peak-hour behavior. This information provided insights into potential factors contributing to crashes. By analyzing LiDAR data, the study identified near-miss incidents, which are often precursors to actual crashes. This proactive approach could assist in identifying crash-prone areas within the intersection. The LiDAR data analysis also focused on pedestrian and cyclist movements, including jaywalking and bike lane usage. The aim was to identify areas where infrastructure improvements could enhance safety for vulnerable road users. LiDAR data was compared with historical crash data to identify specific locations within the intersection that exhibited a high frequency of crashes. This information can guide targeted safety interventions. Last but not least, the study explored opportunities to optimize traffic signal timings based on real-time traffic data from LiDAR. Adaptive signal control could help mitigate congestion and reduce the risk of crashes.The results of this study demonstrated the potential of LiDAR sensor technology in collecting detailed data for traffic analysis in signalized intersections. By combining LiDAR data with historical crash records and traffic flow data, traffic engineers and urban planners can develop evidence-based strategies to reduce the frequency and severity of crashes in high-risk areas. Ultimately, this research contributes to a comprehensive understanding of how LiDAR technology can be employed to enhance road safety and traffic management, providing valuable insights for traffic engineers, urban planners, and policymakers seeking to improve the safety and efficiency of signalized intersections with a history of high traffic crashes.

Authors: Alakuko Richard , Falowo Moses
Published: October 2023

The KUKO offshore field in Niger Delta exhibits complex structural deformation and faulting, impacting the exploration and development of reservoirs due to uncertain properties. This study employs an integrated approach combining 3D seismic, well logs, and reservoir modeling to characterize the field. The study is centered on establishing a template for future research, evaluating petrophysical properties, investigating structural styles, and constructing a 3D static reservoir model. Three hydrocarbon-bearing sand units (KUKO A, KUKO B, and KUKO C) were correlated across five wells using composite well log suites. Eight faults, including significant crestal faults (F2, F5, F7, and F8), were identified and interpreted from seismic data. Petrophysical results indicate favorable reservoir qualities with average effective porosity of 25% (KUKO A), 27% (KUKO B), and 24% (KUKO C), and average Net to Gross (NTG) values of 86% (KUKO A), 83% (KUKO B), and 80% (KUKO C). Hydrocarbon saturation averages 61% (KUKO A), 52% (KUKO B), and 58% (KUKO C). Estimated STOIIP and recoverable oil volumes are as follows: KUKO A (STOIIP: 642 MMbbl, Recoverable oil: 1901.9 MMBL), KUKO B (STOIIP: 590 MMbbl, Recoverable oil: 1418.5 MMBL), and KUKO C (STOIIP: 549 MMbbl, Recoverable oil: 349.1 MMBL). Amplitude maps superimposed on the depth-structure maps validated hydrocarbon potential, highlighting a prospect T. This study demonstrated the feasibility of integrating 3D seismic, well log data, seismic attributes, and 3D seismic, well log data, seismic attributes and 3D static reservoir modeling for accurate characterization of hydrocarbon reservoirs.Keywords: Petrophysics, reservoir characterization, crestal faults, amplitudes, seismic attribute, Niger Delta
It’s (a) Shame: Why Poverty Leads to Support for Authoritarianism
Authors: Neerdaels Jasper , Tröster Christian , Van Quaquebeke Niels
Published: October 2023

The literature has widely discussed and supported the relationship between poverty and support for authoritarian leaders and regimes. However, there are different claims about the mediating mechanism and a lack of empirical tests. We hypothesize that the effect of poverty on support for authoritarianism is mediated by shame: People living in poverty frequently experience social exclusion and devaluation, which is reflected in feelings of shame. Such shame, in turn, is likely to increase support for authoritarianism, mainly due to the promise of social re-inclusion. We support our hypothesis in two controlled experiments and a large-scale field study while empirically ruling out the two main alternative explanations offered in the literature: stress and anxiety. Finally, we discuss how the present findings can support policymakers in efficiently addressing the negative political consequences of poverty.
Ethical positions that underpin global brain data governance discourse.
Authors: Ochang Paschal , Eke Damian , Stahl Bernd Carsten
Published: October 2023

The study of the brain continues to produce brain data used for various purposes such as the treatment of brain related diseases, the development of neurotechnological devices and the training of algorithms. This brain data which is generated in different jurisdictions is used under different ethical and legal principles which raises various ethical and legal concerns during collaborations. Understanding these ethical and legal principles and concerns is important as it serves as a catalyst for developing a global governance framework which is currently lacking. Therefore, this study explores the ethical positions that underpin current brain data governance discourse using a secondary analysis of interviews with neuroscientists to understand ethical and legal principles and concerns using neuroscientists as key stakeholders who apply current ethical and legal principles. The results of the study produced various ethical views and positions. The study provides an understanding of the embedded ethical positions in brain data governance discourse using ethical theories which advances the current understanding of the different attitudes attributed to practical application of ethical and legal principles in the conduct of brain data research.
A Family-Resemblances Framework for Dehumanization Research
Authors: Landry Alexander
Published: October 2023

Dehumanization has figured prominently in intergroup discrimination and violence, which has inspired sustained social-psychological inquiry. Over two decades, researchers have brought an abundance of theories and methods to bear on the empirical study of dehumanization. Collectively, this work has painted an expansive portrait of the many ways we can overlook or deny the humanity of others. At the same time, these diverse conceptual and measurement approaches have progressed in relative isolation, which has created confusion about what, precisely, is meant by “dehumanization” and cast uncertainty on fundamental conclusions drawn from this research. To stimulate theoretical development and more-productive exchanges across the field, we offer an integrative framework for dehumanization research. Within this Family-Resemblances framework, dehumanization is seen as a multifaceted construct that encompasses a variety of related processes with both overlapping and unique features. Thus, the diverse theoretical and methodological approaches to studying dehumanization are complementary means of capturing a fundamentally heterogeneous phenomenon. Further, we argue that this framework can catalyze a more nuanced and precise understanding of dehumanization’s many facets: by specifying the different varieties of dehumanization under investigation, the field can more precisely map them onto specific targets, causes, consequences, and intervention strategies.

Arranged Marriage
Authors: Allendorf Keera
Published: October 2023

This chapter provides an overview of the nature and scope of arranged marriage with a focus on India and South Asia more broadly - the region where such marriages are widespread. First though, I define arranged marriage and locate it over time and space on a global scale. Arranged marriage was practiced by much of the global population until relatively recently with the notable exception of Northwest Europe and its diaspora. This preface also touches on the complexities and ambiguities of arranged marriage, which leads to disagreement and confusion in both scholarly and popular circles. Turning to the focus on contemporary South Asia, I describe how the practice of arranged marriage varies across localities, religion/caste, and gender. I then discuss how marriage practices are shifting over time and do not neatly match the binary ideal types of arranged and self-choice marriage. I conclude by discussing the quality and longevity of arranged marriages, as well as noting areas for future research.
Comparative Evaluation of Fine-Tuned and Standard Language Models in Emulating Living Historical Figures: A Detailed Study Proposal
Authors: Goldman Daniel S
Published: October 2023

The contemporary growth spurt in artificial intelligence has engendered an opportunity to explore evermore complex applications of language models. This research proposal outlines an in-depth comparative study aimed at investigating the proficiency of fine-tuned language models against standard general-purpose transformer (GPT) models. Specifically, we aim to emulate dialogues characteristic of selected, living historical figures. With a primary focus on accuracy, authenticity, and reliability, we propose an innovative "biographimetric" approach that correlates psychometric properties of AI-generated responses with biographical data. This study anticipates not only shedding light on the comparative potential of customized and standard language models but also developing a comprehensive evaluation matrix for such models. Furthermore, we aim to touch upon the array of practical applications, ethical issues, and potential impacts on various domains, including archival studies, AI ethics, and sectors such as education and entertainment. Ultimately, our research could contribute significantly to understanding the boundaries and possibilities of AI language models in capturing and replicating unique human thought processes.

Competency-based education is increasingly being adopted across the health professions. A model for competency-based education in veterinary medicine was recently developed by a working group of the American Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC) and is being used in institutions worldwide. The purpose of this study was to gather information on progress in and barriers to implementing competency-based education (including use of the AAVMC competency-based veterinary education [CBVE] Model) by AAVMC member schools to inform the development of strategies to support institutions in successful implementation of the CBVE Model. A cross-sectional survey was developed and distributed to AAVMC member institutions via an AAVMC web-based communication platform. Thirty-four of 55 AAVMC member institutions responded to the survey (62% response rate). Twenty schools reported using a competency-based education framework. Eleven of these institutions had implemented the AAVMC CBVE Framework, with an additional 12 institutions anticipating implementing it over the next 3 years. Timing, resources, and change management were the most commonly reported challenges to implementation. Suggestions for development of training resources included translation of milestones to pre-clinical courses, development of assessments, guidance on making progress decisions, illustrative overviews of specific components of the CBVE Model (e.g., the AAVMC CBVE Framework, EPAs, entrustment scales, milestones), and curriculum mapping. This study assesses progress in implementing the CBVE Model in AAVMC member schools and aids in identifying key challenges and resources to support faculty and institutions in the successful adoption and implementation of this educational model.

Published: October 2023

In this paper, we present the results of the first global ranking that assesses the status and evolution of the media according to their digital reputation. We analyzed 4,541 general information digital newspapers, both legacy and native, published in 200 countries and in more than 80 languages. Methodologically, we applied a new Digital Reputation Indicator (DRI) as a composite evaluation and measurement tool, weighting web metrics from globally recognized, balanced, and validated sources such as Semrush, Ahrefs, and Majestic. This establishes the foundations of the SCImago Media Rankings (SMR) as a balanced watchdog resource for analysis of the digital transformation of the media and as an international catalog of journalistic websites, with a consensus-based and homologous classification and typification that can be applied to different countries. The main conclusion of the first three quarterly waves, carried out between September 2022 and March 2023, is that there is a direct relationship between the degree of socioeconomic and cultural development of the countries and the digital reputation achieved by their media outlets in the ranking. Additionally, the influence of language is notable as a determining factor in the positioning of the media in the ranking. The top positions are occupied by reference digital newspapers located in Western countries of the Northern Hemisphere, especially those in the English language.
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE EMERGENCE AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEUROMARKETING CONCEPT
Authors: Pavlovska Iryna
Published: October 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the prerequisites for the emergence and development of the concept of neuromarketing, which determine the scientific and practical needs of a new field of research and practical activity. The factors, the combination of which caused the emergence of a new field of marketing science and a new direction of professional marketing activity, are presented, in particular, the scientific and theoretical reasons for the emergence of neuromarketing, methodological reasons for the emergence of neuromarketing and instrumental prerequisites for the emergence of neuromarketing are investigated. The work presents the model of consumer behavior according to Kotler F. and Assel G., as well as the main neuroscientific methods that are potentially applicable in marketing research and are based on methods that measure neural activity inside the brain, methods that measure neural activity outside the brain, and methods of manipulation nervous activity. In addition, more precise definitions of gaps in methodological capabilities are presented, which, in theory, allow neuromarketing research to be filled. It is concluded that the appeal to neuroscientific methods can be considered as an attempt not so much to replace behavioral data or subjective methods as to supplement and expand them. They allow the researcher to rely on objective data about the factors and mechanisms of human behavior, and also, in some cases, to check and clarify the results obtained by behavioral or subjective methods. The combination of the demand for new theoretical models and research methods, on the one hand, and the offer of brain study technologies, on the other, became the prerequisites for the development of neuromarketing as an independent field of research and the possibility of forming a neuromarketing concept.
The specifics of vocal training and pedagogical activities of S. Yu. Motte at Kharkiv Music School (1885–1901)
Authors: Liu Peng
Published: October 2023

The purpose of the publication is to determine the specifics of vocal training in S. Yu. Motte’s singing class at Kharkiv Music School as a functional structure of the Kharkiv branch of the Russian Musical Society (RMS) during 1885–1901.

The methodology. Since the specifics of the functioning of vocal art at Kharkiv Music School during 1885–1901 is examined in the scientific discourse for the first time, the methodological basis of the article is the method of comparative analysis, the application of which made it possible to reveal the peculiarities of professional training and further professional self-realization of pupils of S. Motte’s singing class. The determination of S. Motte’s approaches as a vocalist-pedagogue to the development of the voice was carried out on the basis of the analysis of the performing practice of her students within the framework of the application of systematicity principle.

The results. On the basis of analysis of music reviews in the Kharkiv press during 1877–1901 and reports of the Kharkiv branch of the RMS, both the level of S. Motte’s vocal mastery, which became the foundation for understanding the methodology of working with a voice and the teacher’s professional approaches to vocal training of the students of Kharkiv Music School, are investigated. The basis of the generalizations was the analysis of the repertoire performed by S. Motte and her students Y. Reider, M. Mykhailova, M. Poliakova, L. Kurochkyna, and others at public events as the material that was used to study the singing voice. The article highlights the role of S. Motte in understanding the professional requirements for a vocalist graduating from Kharkiv Music School; she formalised the content of the vocal qualification exam.

The scientific novelty. It is proved that during her teaching activities at Kharkiv Music School, S. Motte showed her pedagogical talent, educating specialists capable of successfully conducting vocal performance and pedagogical functions at a sufficiently professional level within a certain period and the regulated educational process. Such a level of education was ensured by studying the voice on musical material, which consisted of instructional texts and chamber repertoire popular on the concert stage, which provided the technology of vocal training and mastering the culture of singing, and European opera music as a criterion of vocal mastery.

The practical significance. Clarifying the logic of the formation and functioning of certain signs of professional voice reproduction of a musical text within certain chronological and cultural boundaries will contribute to the improvement of the process of understanding the phenomena of the musical culture of Kharkiv on the one hand, and of the vocal art of Ukraine on the other hand.

UAV NAVIGATION AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM BASED ON THE SPECTRAL PORTRAIT OF TERRAIN
Authors: Glugan F , Lysenko V , Shvorov S , Pasichnyk N , Opryshko O , Tsygulyov I , Teplyuk V , Rudenskyi A
Published: October 2023

This paper focuses on investigating the navigation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) using spatial-spectral representations of the terrain. This type of navigation is valuable in situations where GPS receivers and other navigation devices fail, but its implementation requires resolving several methodological challenges. One crucial aspect to consider is the impact of changes in illumination on the spectral characteristics of objects. The adoption of satellite-based solutions relying on optical patterns is not suitable for low-flying UAVs, and instead, utilizing service data from the spectral sensors on the UAV's meter display holds greater promise. This study examines an existing method that addresses illumination changes by utilizing the LightValue parameter for different cameras, both in laboratory and field conditions. Through experimentation, it has been established that the relationship between LightValue and the intensities of color components varies individually across different cameras. To correct for natural light variations, it is proposed to employ experimentally derived relationships specific to the sensory equipment brands. When designing navigation systems based on spectral representations of the terrain, it is advisable to select objects that exhibit the most consistent optical changes with respect to illumination.

Authors: Lysenko V , Lendyel T , Pavlov S
Published: October 2023

Currently, effective management of biogas production remains a difficult task.

The purpose of the research is to analyze machine learning algorithms for predicting biogas output depending on the characteristics of biogas production.

Currently, there is no necessary set of data, analyzing which indicators can be obtained to optimize biogas production in our installation. At the same time, testing various optimization algorithms and deciding on the best takes a lot of time, as experience shows.

The application of machine algorithms for forecasting biogas production by using existing forecasting methods is considered. Provided that the control systems of typical biogas productions are equipped with the necessary sensing elements, there still remains the task of processing and analyzing data to make the best decision to meet the relevant technological requirements. The reason for this is the large volume of data and the complexity of the interaction of processes that are components of production. In this context, machine learning can be a useful tool for optimizing biogas production.
EVACUATION ROUTE PLANNING MODEL BASED ON THE FUZZY ANT COLONY OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM
Authors: Tymchuk O , Midoian E
Published: October 2023

The construction of evacuation routes from urban areas has become an urgent task in the modern world, as the number of emergencies is constantly increasing. Standard route planning algorithms do not meet the requirements of fast and efficient evacuation because they do not fully consider the environmental parameters and have a high computational complexity, and erroneous results can have critical consequences, including loss of life. The paper proposes a model of finding an optimal evacuation route in emergencies in urban areas based on a modified ant colony optimization algorithm: an ant (a person or a vehicle) is allowed to start moving from several possible vertices of the graph, as well as to end the route at several available vertices. It is connected with the fact that there are usually multiple evacuation start points and destinations. The transitions matrix is built using additional parameters, the uncertainty of which is taken into account using the methods of computing with words and the theory of type-2 fuzzy sets and systems. For modeling, in the paper such additional parameters as the quality of the road surface, the number of road lanes, the level of traffic jams, and the distance to the epicenter of the emergency were used. The proposed model was implemented and applied in one of the quarter of Kyiv.

Authors: Bahatska Oksana , Melnyk Viktoriia , Snarovkina Oleksandra
Published: October 2023

The examination of plant resistance to drought is becoming increasingly relevant due to global warming. All species of the genus Aristolochia L. possess high decorative qualities and play an important role in natural ecosystems. However, under conditions of temperature imbalance, their ornamental value may decrease due to leaf turgor loss and even leaf shedding. The purpose of the paper is to highlight the results of studies on the drought resistance assessment of Aristolochia L. plant species to identify the most promising taxa suitable for cultivation in the city of Kyiv. The study was conducted in 2022 on three species of vines: Aristolochia macrophylla Lam., A. tomentosa Sims., A. manshuriensis Kom., which grow in the M.M. Gryshko National Botanical Garden (Kyiv). The study presented results on leaf hydration parameters, water deficit, water-holding capacity of leaves, electrical conductivity, and specific leaf area conducted in the Plant Physiology and Microbiology Laboratory of the Institute of Horticulture, National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine. Field assessment of Aristolochia L. plant drought resistance was also conducted. It was established that Aristolochia macrophylla Lam. is the most drought-resistant species, exhibiting low transpiration rates and high water-holding capacity. Aristolochia tomentosa Sims. it is the least drought-resistant species, which therefore needs additional care. In field conditions, significant signs of wilting were not observed, indicating that leaves reduce turgor during the day and recover at night. It is also important to preserve the environment in which these plants grow, as its changes affect the drought tolerance and life cycle of lianas. The results of the drought resistance research on Aristolochia L. plants point to the potential of these species. They can be used for selecting plant assortments for creating various types of plantations in urban environments
Effect of magnesium nanoparticles on formaldehyde emissions from wood composite materials
Authors: Sedliačik Ján , Pinchevska Olena , Lopatko Konstantin , Lopatko Larysa
Published: October 2023

For the production of wood composite materials, adhesives based on cheap and affordable, but harmful urea-formaldehyde resins are mainly used. Given the substantial production volumes of such materials, it is important to find environmental solutions to reduce formaldehyde emissions during their pressing and subsequent operation. The purpose of the study was to present the results of a study on the use of magnesium oxide nanoparticles to bind unreacted formaldehyde in wood composite materials. Analysis of methods for manufacturing metal nanoparticles allowed determining a priority method that allows obtaining ultrafine structures with a size not exceeding 100 nm, namely, the method of volumetric electric spark dispersion of metals in a liquid. Investigating the morphology of magnesium nanoparticles allowed determining that they have an almost crystalline form formed from the vapour phase, with an average particle length not exceeding 100 nm. The results of spectral analysis of the element composition in the nanophase, specifically magnesium and oxygen, demonstrated that the magnesium content does not exceed 32.2%, while oxygen constitutes 67.78%. This indicates that divalent magnesium oxide does not have a pronounced metallic phase, which would interfere with the sorption processes of formaldehyde. The conducted examinations of formaldehyde emission of samples of particle boards with modified magnesium oxide nanoparticles in concentrations of 2% and 8% glue based on urea-formaldehyde resin showed mixed results. Compared to the control samples, the formaldehyde level remained almost unchanged on the second day of follow-up, and for a concentration of 2%, it even increased by 6%. However, by the sixteenth and ninetieth day, a reduction in the level of free formaldehyde emissions was observed at 19% and 22% respectively. The results obtained can be used to improve the production of non-harmful particle boards with improved properties

Understanding what is obtainable from a PV-based solar power system is key to proper sizing of the system. The parameters that are important are the time range available for energy delivery from the panel, time at maximum charging current and the available charging current. To determine these parameters, this work sets up a complete PV-based solar system that was interfaced with National Instrument myDAQ (NI myDAQ) and LABVIEW program for data collection for a specific period of time.  The collection periods were nineteen (19) days which cuts across days in September to November. The data collected are the time stamps, charging current and battery voltage. The study outcome reveals that the average time range for the delivery of energy from the solar module for those periods are 7:24 am to 5:31 pm. The average time at maximum charging current is 12:32 pm. The maximum charging current recorded is 0.509 A, which is 89.3 percent of the panel’s current at maximum power.
Wolność religijna w dokumentach Organizacji Bezpieczeństwa i Współpracy w Europie

Published: October 2023

Organizacja Bezpieczeństwa i Współpracy w Europie (wcześniej Konferencja Bezpieczeństwa i Współpracy w Europie) jest – obok Rady Europy oraz Unii Europejskiej – jedną z organizacji międzynarodowych o zasięgu europejskim, które zajmują się zagadnieniem ochrony praw człowieka. W wydawanych przez tę organizację dokumentach wielokrotnie podkreśla się znaczenie wolności myśli, sumienia i religii jako istotnego elementu pokoju, bezpieczeństwa, sprawiedliwości i demokracji. Celem niniejszego opracowania jest analiza postanowień poszczególnych dokumentów KBWE/OBWE, które dotyczą ochrony tej wolności. Mimo że nie formułują one nowych europejskich standardów w zakresie ochrony wolności myśli, sumienia i religii, to działalność OBWE tworzy cenne forum wymiany doświadczeń poszczególnych państw w zakresie omawianych zagadnień, ułatwiając zrozumienie niepokojących zjawisk oraz sprawniejsze wypracowanie środków zaradczych. Można więc stwierdzić, że działalność OBWE w zakresie ochrony wolności myśli, sumienia i religii jest wartościowym uzupełnieniem instrumentów oferowanych w ramach innych systemów ochrony praw człowieka.
Erken Cumhuriyet döneminde çocukluğun inşası ve milliyetçilik: Şen Çocuk Dergisi
Authors: CENGİZ Özge
Published: October 2023

Türkiye’nin Erken Cumhuriyet dönemi, ulus devletleşme sürecine bağlı olarak milliyetçi ideolojinin baskın olduğu, dağılan Osmanlı İmparatorluğu ile bağların koparılmak istendiği ve yeni bir kök arayışına girilen bir dönem olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu dönemde Türk milliyetçiliğini yaygınlaştırma amacıyla çeşitli adımlar atılmış, Türk Tarih Tezi, Güneş Dil Teorisi gibi teorilerle Türk halkının Orta Asya kökleriyle bağ kurmasına ve ulus bilinci geliştirmesine çalışılmıştır. Milliyetçilik gibi ideolojik unsurların bir topluma aşılanmasındaki en önemli sacayaklarından birisi çocukların “eğitimi”dir. Bu eğitim aşamasında çocukların bir yandan eğleneceği bir yandansa bilgileneceği bir alan sağlayan önemli mecralardan birisi ise çocuk dergileridir. Bu çalışma Erken Cumhuriyet dönemindeki milliyetçilik politikaları ve çocukluğun inşasına odaklanmaktadır. Bu bağlamda milliyetçi söylemlerin ve kimlik politikalarının hız kazandığı bir dönem olan 1930’lu yıllarda yayımlanan Şen Çocuk dergisi özelinde, Erken Cumhuriyet döneminin milliyetçilik politikalarının çocuk dergisinde kendisine nasıl yer bulduğu incelenmiştir. Çalışmada Şen Çocuk dergisinde yer alan içerikler Türklüğün niteliksel özellikleri, Türklüğün tarihi, Türk Dilinin önemi, dağılan Osmanlı İmparatorluğu, Anadolu övgüsü, düşman imgesi temaları üzerinden betimsel olarak analiz edilmiştir.

Nowadays, the intellectual property rights (IPR) have received great attention from countries related to the utilization of IPR that can be of high economic value. In the blueprint of the ASEAN Economic Community 2015 also contains that ASEAN wants to realize a single market with free traffic flow, among other things, to the field of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). The problems in this research are firstly, how is the system of intellectual property rights (IPR) protection in the framework of trade liberalization in ASEAN Economic Community ?; and secondly, what are the implications of the application of the intellectual property rights system within the framework of ASEAN to the regulation of intellectual property rights (IPR) in Indonesia?. This research is a legal research that is juridical normative with legal history and legal comparison approaches, emphasizing on secondary data obtained from literature study and supported by primary data in the form of interviews obtained from field research. The specification of this research is descriptive analytical. The data collected were analyzed by qualitative juridical. The results of this study are; Firstly, the legal protection system of Intellectual Property Rights in ASEAN in the framework of trade liberalization through the ASEAN Economic Community 2015 is based on the ASEAN Intellectual Property Rights Action Plan 2011-2015/ASEAN IPR and ASEAN Charter. Furthermore, the two legal instruments are within the content of ASEAN Intellectual Property Rights Action Plan 2011-2015 and the Preamble of ASEAN Charter and Article 1 (points 5, 6 and 11). The ASEAN Charter contains the concept of Welfare State law in which the purpose of the provisions of such law shall be one of them in the framework of the interests of the welfare of ASEAN society as existing in the concept of the welfare state; and Secondly, in the framework of the realization of the ASEAN IPR Action Plan 2011-2015 in the ASEAN Economic Community, then Indonesia has adjusted by amending several regulations of legislation which are within the scope of intellectual property rights such as the Law no. 19 of 2002 with the Law no. 28 of 2014 on Copyright and the Law no. 15 of 2001 with Law no. 20 of 2016 on Trademarks and Geographical Indications to deal with the era of global trade.
Fuzzy C-means clustering with hesitant fuzzy linguistic preference relation
Authors: Zhou Xueling , Sun Lei , Wei Cuiping
Published: October 2023

With the advancement of technology and growing social demand, large scale group decision making has gained significant importance in the field of decision making. Clustering analysis plays a crucial role in enhancing the efficiency of large scale group decision making processes. Linguistic evaluation is more in line with people’s cognitive and expressive habits. The hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set (HFLTS) offers more flexibility in expressing evaluation information. This paper is dedicated to designing a fuzzy C-means clustering model that is specifically applicable for the hesitant fuzzy linguistic preference relation (HFLPR). The objective function of the model is built based on the dissimilarity between HFLPRs and the initial cluster centers to obtain the fuzzy membership matrix and cluster centers. Since initializing cluster centers is a crucial step to produce a reasonable cluster result, three methods are proposed for generating initial centers for HFLPRs. The first and second methods are improvements over existing approaches that dealt with the clustering problem with numerical values. The third approach considers both the preference relation of preferring an alternative and the distribution of the actual preference relations. Based on this, a fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm with HFLPR is designed to obtain the cluster centers and membership matrix for there types of initializing clustering centers. Finally, based on the quality and speed of clustering, a numerical example and comparative analyses illustrate that the proposed clustering algorithm is efficient and effective.
