Aristotle, Heisenberg, and the Non-Locality and Non-Temporality of a Single Photon
Authors: Driessen Alfred
Published: February 2025

Within the framework of Aristotelian philosophy, the author presents an analysis of the exchange of energy by photons. These massless particles exhibit the most pronounced quantum behavior and pose serious challenges to classical physics. The arguments are based on the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and a number of Gedanken experiments on single photons. For illustration, experimental and numerical work on optical microresonators is discussed. These allow to assess the validity of Maxwell’s equations and to verify some of the Gedanken experiments. As a result of the discussion, one has to accept that the photon trajectory is causally influenced by the final state, which is separated in time and space from the initial state: non-locality and non-temporality.
ЧИННИКИ ВПЛИВУ НА ШВИДКІСТЬ ГОРІННЯ СПОЛУК, ІЗ ЯКИХ УТВОРЮЮТЬСЯ ВОГНЕГАСНІ АЕРОЗОЛІ
Authors: Balanyuk V. M. , Myroshkin V. S. , Huzar N. I. , Pykus V. S. , Girskyi O. I.
Published: February 2025

У статті розглядається актуальне питання впливу різних чинників на швидкість горіння вогнегасних аерозолеутворювальних сполук (АУС). Аерозольні засоби пожежогасіння набувають усе більшої популярності завдяки своїй ефективності, низьким вогнегасним концентраціям та екологічній безпеці. Однак для їх ефективного застосування необхідно розуміти й контролювати фактори, що впливають на швидкість горіння АУС та утворення вогнегасного аерозолю. Виявлення й аналіз чинників, що впливають на швидкість горіння АУС, з метою оптимізації їх складу й підвищення ефективності гасіння пожеж. У роботі використано метод наукового аналізу та синтезу, а також експериментальний метод дослідження. Визначено основні чинники, що впливають на швидкість горіння АУС, хімічний склад і співвідношення компонентів АУС (паливо, окисник, каталізатори, добавки), геометричні параметри заряду АУС (наявність каналів, отворів), фізичні властивості компонентів (температура плавлення, молекулярна маса), наявність внутрішньо зв’язаного оксигену в молекулярній будові палива. Установлено, що для збільшення швидкості горіння АУС необхідно використовувати термічно нестійкі горючі речовини (каучуки, ідитол, сахарозу, епоксидну смолу), оптимальне співвідношення окисників (нітрат калію, хлорат калію, перхлорат калію) і каталітичні добавки. Показано, що забезпечення максимальної площі горіння АУС і використання складної геометричної конструкції заряду сприяють збільшенню швидкості утворення вогнегасного аерозолю. Швидкість горіння АУС є ключовим фактором, що визначає ефективність гасіння пожеж. Для досягнення високої швидкості горіння необхідно оптимізувати склад АУС, ураховуючи хімічні й фізичні властивості компонентів, а також геометричні параметри заряду. Подальші дослідження повинні бути спрямовані на детальне вивчення впливу кожного з чинників на швидкість горіння АУС і розроблення нових ефективних складів аерозольутворювальних сполук.

Immigrant parents’ articulation and imaginings of the Singaporean education system
Authors: CHUA Ariel Kit Yen , CHOW Lee Tat , YANG Peidong
Published: February 2025

Drawing on a study into immigrant parents’ influences on children’s education in Singapore, this paper presents preliminary and partial findings on immigrant parents’ discourses surrounding various forms of schooling or education systems, specifically the local mainstream schools, international schools, education in their countries of origin, and shadow education in Singapore. The paper demonstrates how such discourses inform and are intertwined with the immigrant parents’ articulations of their parenting ideologies and educational philosophies. It is found that immigrant parents generally hold positive views on mainstream schools in Singapore, sometimes comparing these favourably with the perceived education and culture in international schools, as well as that of their countries of origin. At the same time, immigrant parents also pointed out the drawbacks of the Singapore education system in terms of its stressful nature, which has given rise to a pervasive shadow education sector. Through talking about and reflecting on these different forms of schooling/education, immigrant parents construct their notions of a good education. However, the paper cautions that the various characteristics attributed to different types of schools/education should be understood as immigrant parents’ subjective and imaginary constructs, reflecting not so much ‘objective reality’ as their ideologies and expectations pertaining to their children’s education.
FINANCIAL TOOLS FOR PROMOTING PRIVATE INVESTMENTS IN RENEWABLE ENERGY
Authors:   State Tax University, Onyshko Svitlana , Chaplygin Oleksandr ,   State Tax University
Published: February 2025

The article discusses possible ways to increase the level of private investments in renewable energy as a prerequisite for achieving a decarbonized global economy, low-carbon transformation, and climate-resilient growth. As the United Nations has called for, governments should create a level playing field for private investment in renewable energy, as well as use fiscal policy to encourage private sector involvement. While research on renewable energy is abundant and covers topics ranging from unlocking renewable energy investment to the impact of environmental policies on innovation, energy efficiency policies, renewable energy investment policies, and feed-in tariffs, there is little research that examines the determinants of private investment in the renewable energy sector. In contrast to previous literature that focuses on overall green investments, this study distinguishes between private sector and public investments in renewable energy. Using multilevel data from 13 countries for the period 2015-2023, this chapter examines the impact of four fiscal and financial policy instruments, namely: feed-in tariffs, taxes, credits, and grants and subsidies, on private investment in renewable energy. The multilevel model with random interventions and random coefficients provides evidence of the effectiveness of two policy instruments - feed-in tariffs and credits. This study can be useful for policymakers and researchers as it deepens their understanding of the factors that contribute to increased investment in renewable energy. The findings highlight the significance of tailored fiscal policies in catalyzing private sector investment. Feed-in tariffs, which guarantee long-term contracts to renewable energy producers and provide price certainty, have been shown to reduce investment risk, thereby attracting private investors. Credits, which often include tax incentives or low-interest loans, lower the cost of capital for renewable energy projects, making them more financially viable for private entities. The study's methodology involves a robust analysis of multilevel data, allowing for a nuanced understanding of how different policy instruments perform across various national contexts. This approach acknowledges that the effectiveness of fiscal and financial policies may vary depending on country-specific factors such as market maturity, regulatory environment, and economic conditions.

Взаємодія в системі загальних категорій пізнання тісно пов’язана з такими поняттями, як структура, простір, рух, час. Вона транслює процеси співіснування та дії об’єктів один на одного, незалежно від їх характеристик. Взаємна зумовленість, зміна стану і навіть взаємоперехід – це також ознаки впливу взаємодії як психологічної, соціальної категорії на процес інтеграційної діяльності суб’єктів. Велика кількість наукових підходів до визначення і формування структури взаємодії дозволяють дійти висновку, що взаємодія чинить вплив на частини, об’єднуючи їх в цілісний процес безпосереднього або дотичного взаємовпливу об’єктів чи суб’єктів і, як наслідок, формування взаємної зумовленості і створення зв’язку. Водночас взаємодія може охоплювати ширший діапазон об’єктів/суб’єктів, впливаючи на частини груп і групи загалом. Отже, завданням статті є дослідження шляхів формування здатності до професійної взаємодії майбутніх лікарів-стоматологів з метою успішного виконання професійних завдань після завершення навчання в закладі вищої освіти.
Introduction
Authors: Haekel Ralf , Lusin Caroline
Published: February 2025

Up until the 1990s, the concept of Irish literature appeared to be fairly unanimous. Literary texts considered to be typically Irish were predominantly concerned with the Irish socio‐political context, critically reflecting the history and conditions of Irish identity formation: the struggle for independence and its aftermath, the family, the church and the nation. The social and political changes from the 1990s and early 2000s onwards, initiated by the Celtic Tiger and the decline of the Catholic Church in the wake of the abuse scandal, which fundamentally transformed Irish culture and politics, can also be witnessed in contemporary Irish literature. In the twenty-first century, the 'national obsessiveness, which in Ireland has predominantly found expression in realist and naturalist modes of writing' (5), as Eoghan Smith puts it, has gradually made way for a new and decidedly more open literary scene. Not only has Irish literature started to embrace new topics, moving away from its preoccupation with its own history and 'the Irish argument' (Tóibín); it has also turned to new genres and modes of writing, and it is now more inclusive of authors from social groups and ethnicities formerly ignored by the literary marketplace. This themed issue sets out to explore the scope and variety of the Irish literary scene in the twenty-first century by focusing on new forms of authorship, new subjects, new genres as well as new approaches to familiar issues, showcasing new voices and new directions shaping the Irish literary scene.

Trusting Experts?
Authors: Di Nucci Ezio
Published: February 2025

This paper argues against the claim that “expertise requires trust.” It does so by distinguishing between two versions of this claim, one according to which expertise requires trustworthiness and one according to which expertise requires actual trust. The paper then argues that the former version of the claim is obvious and therefore philosophically uninteresting, while the latter version of the claim is, actually, false. Five cases are deployed to defend these arguments, so that along the way we find out more about the nature of expertise, trust and also, incidentally, corruption and even ChatGPT.
SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROBLEMS OF THE PENAL SYSTEM THROUGH THE PRISM OF NEO-INSTITUTIONAL ECONOMIC THEORY
Authors: Nariman Farman oglu
Published: February 2025

The article attempts to analyze the causes and nature of negative phenomena in the activities of the Russian penal system based on the methodology of neo-institutional economic theory. In particular, the manifestations in the penitentiary community of such general civilizational phenomena, from the point of view of neo-institutionalism, as public goods, formal and informal rules, external positive and negative effects are characterized. It seems that the proposed approach can contribute to a deeper understanding of the origins and content of many negative processes in the penal enforcement system, as well as problems of its functioning and their solution.
SELECTIVE ISOMERIZATION OF GLUCOSE INTO FRUCTOSE OVER MgO-ZrO2/Al2O3 CATALYST
Authors: Levytska Svitlana , Brei Volodymyr
Published: February 2025

Fructose is the sweetest natural sugar that widely used in the food industry as a dietary sweetener. It is also a key starting compound for the synthesis of wide variety biobased va­lue-added intermediates. Isomerisation of glucose into fructose is already a large-scale industrial process performed with about 1500 tof immobilized enzymes producing more than 10 million (dry matter) a glucose – fructose syrup per year. But this process requires considerable costs therefore the development of fast, cheap and reusable catalyst systems seems essential. Known solid catalysts are still significantly inferior to enzymes in process selectivity, so the search for effective cata­lysts for glucose isomerization remains relevant. The process of isomerization of 10–30% aqueous glucose solutions over alumina-supported mixed MgO-ZrO2 oxides in batch and flow mode at 90°C and atmospheric pressure was investigated. The supported mixed oxide MgO-ZrO2/Al2O3 was synthesized by a simple impregnation method which is important for the development of a simple and cheap catalyst for the target reaction. MgO-ZrO2/Al2O3 sample with a molar ratio of Mg/Zr= 4 and the deposited oxide phase content of 20 wt.% was synthesized by impregnation of commercial granular aluminum oxide with a compatible solution of magnesium and zirconium nitrates and subsequent heat treatment at 600 C for 2 h. It was found that the MgO-ZrO2/Al2O3 catalyst provides glucose conversion up to 19%, with maximum fructose selectivity up to 100% in the flow mode. The possibility of processing of concentrated (30%) glucose solutions at 90 °Cwith catalyst productivity of 0,44–0.67 mmol fructose/gcat/h was shown. After 30 h processing MgO-ZrO2/Al2O3 catalyst has been rege­nerated by calcination in air for 2 hours at 600 °C without loss of activity and selectivity.

Mohism as a Weapon to Criticise Confucianism: Navigating the Complex Dynamics between Christianity and Confucianism in Nineteenth-Century China
Authors: Liu Song , Zou Tianyu
Published: February 2025

The relationship between Christianity and Confucianism in China has been complex and multifaceted. Since the introduction of Christianity in the seventh century, these two belief systems have interacted in various ways, ranging from conflict to accommodation. However, it was in the nineteenth century that a significant discovery had a profound impact on the evangelistic policy of missionaries in China. This discovery involved the works of Mozi, an influential pre-Qin Chinese philosopher who openly criticised Confucianism. In this article, we will delve into how these nineteenth-century missionaries astutely utilised Mohist philosophy as a potent tool to challenge Confucianism, marking a departure from the earlier approach of accommodation. By analysing this historical development, this article deepens the understanding of the complexities involved in interlingual transmission and sheds light on the challenges faced by missionaries in navigating the clash of ideologies between Christianity and Confucianism in China.
Charismatic Anglicanism in Nigeria: Understanding the Hybrid Identity through the Lens of ‘Insider Movement’ and ‘Multiple Religious Belonging’
Authors: WONG Ho Lun Donald
Published: February 2025

This paper analyses the hybrid identity of charismatic Anglicans in Nigeria. Two theoretical frameworks are borrowed from the fields of missiology and inter-religious dialogues, namely ‘insider movements’ and ‘multiple religious belonging’. They serve as analytical tools to examine the hybrid identity.

Nigerian Anglicans who persisted in the 1970s and 1980s with their charismatic practices within the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) led an ‘insider movement’. These Anglican charismatic ‘insiders’ gradually transformed their Anglican ‘communities of origin’ in the 1990s, when denominational leaders recognised that Anglican churches needed to compete for survival against Neo-Pentecostal churches. A hybrid identity emerged – a Nigerian charismatic Anglicanism. The 1996 Nigerian Book of Common Prayer, and its adapted use among charismatic Anglican congregations, shows the early shape of such hybridity; video footages and written materials as recent as 2022 demonstrate the continued relevance of this phenomenon. The framework of ‘insider movements’, however, cannot fully capture this hybrid identity given its inside—outside binarisation.

Drawing insights from the notion of ‘multiple religious belonging’, this paper argues that Nigerian Anglicans are at home with multiple strands of religious traditions weaving their identities – Neo-Pentecostalism and the legacy ethos of Anglican missions included. Furthermore, this hybrid identity of charismatic Anglicans in Nigeria carries an asymmetrical preference of charismatic spirituality over traditional Anglicanism. Such a preference can be explained by its close association with the indigenous Nigerian worldview. This paper ends by noting the use of the framework ‘multiple religious belonging’ demonstrates the permeability between interreligious and intrareligious discourses.

In accordance with the Paris Agreement, Laos has outlined sector-specific decarbonisation targets to achieve by 2030 in its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). However, by focusing on maximising decarbonisation efforts, the synergies and trade-offs between climate, land, energy and water systems (CLEWs) have been overlooked. This study utilises the open-source energy modelling system (OSeMOSYS) to assess the impacts of four decarbonisation measures on Laos’ CLEWs. A series of scenarios over 2020-2070, including a sensitivity analysis, were devised to compare emis-sions, costs, land cover changes, energy consumption and water usage. The results show that Laos’ forestry sector target is infeasible considering other sectors’ land requirements. Increasing forest cover to 60% of land area would require reducing crop production by 8,830,000 tonnes and in-creasing crop imports at the cost of $91,200,000 between 2020 and 2030. The sensitivity analysis highlights power export growth in determining emissions; with Laos’ reliance on coal production to meet power export demands, the energy-based NDC targets are inconsequential. This study demonstrates the need for a nexus-thinking approach in policymaking to account for the secondary effects of decarbonisation measures on resource systems. This conclusion provides a foundation for Laos’ next NDC and offers a framework for assessing decarbonisation pathways in other countries.
Enhancing Transformer with GNN Structural Knowledge via Distillation: A Novel Approach
Authors: Duan Zhihua , Wang Jialin
Published: February 2025

Integrating the structural inductive biases of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) with the global contextual modeling capabilities of Transformers represents a pivotal challenge in graph representation learning. While GNNs excel at capturing localized topological patterns through message-passing mechanisms, their inherent limitations in modeling long-range dependencies and parallelizability hinder their deployment in large-scale scenarios. Conversely, Transformers leverage self-attention mechanisms to achieve global receptive fields but struggle to inherit the intrinsic graph structural priors of GNNs. This paper proposes a novel knowledge distillation framework that systematically transfers multiscale structural knowledge from GNN teacher models to Transformer student models, offering a new perspective on addressing the critical challenges in cross-architectural distillation. The framework effectively bridges the architectural gap between GNNs and Transformers through micro-macro distillation losses and multiscale feature alignment. This work establishes a new paradigm for inheriting graph structural biases in Transformer architectures, with broad application prospects.

Bantuan Langsung Tunai Dana Desa (BLT-DD) adalah program pemerintah yang memberikan bantuan tunai kepada masyarakat desa yang kurang mampu. Program ini bertujuan untuk meringankan beban ekonomi masyarakat, terutama di masa pandemi. Desa Oesoko adalah Desa yang terletak Di Kecamatan Insana Utara, Kabupaten Timor Tengah Utara yang memiliki jumlah penduduk sebanyak 1.482 jiwa pada bulan Agustus 2022 dengan jumlah KK sebanyak 366 KK. Dari jumlah KK diatas terdapat 56 KK yang menerima BLT-DD pada tahun 2022. Besaran BLT-DD Di Desa Oesoko sebesar Rp. 300.000 per bulannya atau tiga bulan satu kali dengan jumlah Rp. 900.000 per Kepala Keluraga (KK). Selama ini pihak Pemerintah Desa Oesoko menetukan kelayakan calon penerima BLT dengan cara MUSDESSUS akan tetapi belum tepat sasaran. Faktor yang mepengaruhi terjadinya kesalahan tersebut ialah; pertama proses penyeleksi calon penerima BLT masih bersifat wewenang dimana dalam pendataan yang dilakukan oleh Ketua RT setempat sering terjadi hanya keluarga Ketua RT yang menerima BLT padahal tergolong mampu. Kedua sering terjadi masyarakat yang namanya sudah terdaftar dalam calon penerima BLT-DD akan tetapi masyarakat tersebut pindah domisili. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah membangun suatu Sistem Pendukung Keputusan menggunakan metode Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) Berbasis Web. Hasil penelitian ini adalah suatu Sistem Pendukung Keputusan berupa ranking prioritas calon penerima bantuan berdasarkan bobot hasil perhitungan menggunakan metode SAW. Program aplikasi ini menggunakan pemrograman HTML, PHP dan untuk databasenya menggunakan MySQL.

Pulau Bokori adalah salah satu destinasi wisata unggulan di Sulawesi Tenggara yang memiliki potensi besar untuk mendukung pariwisata berkelanjutan. Namun, pengelolaan pengalaman wisatawan di pulau ini masih kurang optimal, terutama dalam hal penyediaan informasi yang relevan dan interaktif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang User Interface (UI) dan User Experience (UX) dari sistem informasi manajemen pengalaman wisatawan yang dapat meningkatkan kualitas perjalanan pengunjung serta mendukung pengelolaan pariwisata berkelanjutan di Pulau Bokori. Metode penelitian menggunakan pendekatan Design Thinking yang terdiri dari lima tahap: Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, dan Test. Setiap tahap dilakukan secara sistematis untuk menghasilkan solusi berbasis pengguna. Pengujian dilakukan melalui usability testing menggunakan platform Maze Design, menghasilkan skor rata-rata sebesar 84,97%, yang menunjukkan keberhasilan desain dalam memenuhi kebutuhan pengguna. Temuan utama dari penelitian ini mencakup desain antarmuka yang intuitif, penyajian informasi yang terstruktur, serta fitur yang mendukung interaksi pengguna. Selain itu, penelitian ini menekankan pentingnya integrasi teknologi dengan prinsip keberlanjutan, yang dapat menjadi model untuk destinasi wisata lain. Hasil implementasi menunjukkan bahwa sistem informasi yang dirancang tidak hanya meningkatkan pengalaman wisatawan tetapi juga mendukung pengelola dalam menyediakan informasi yang efisien dan akurat. Penelitian ini memberikan rekomendasi untuk pengembangan lebih lanjut, termasuk integrasi kecerdasan buatan untuk personalisasi layanan dan peningkatan pengalaman pengguna secara keseluruhan.
Evaluation of design managers’ views of decision-making: propositions for situational awareness in building design

Building design management (BDM) is a complex, iterative, and highly collaborative process, which poses several challenges for design managers (DMRs). One challenge relates to the diversity of the information required for decision-making and the resulting limited situational awareness (SA). The construction industry has shown interest in the SA concept, although its applications have so far remained confined to construction management and production, rather than design or its management. This geographically limited study, which explores decision-making in building design management from the DMR perspective, specifically explores how situational awareness manifests in DMRs’ decision-making processes. The research data were collected through a literature review, an expert workshop, and expert interviews. The most interesting findings regarding the applicability of the situational awareness concept in BDM relate to the changing roles of the DMR, the changing balance of decision-making power, and the proposal-based decision-making practices in BDM. In this paper, we propose a novel conceptual framework for situational awareness in BDM, thereby contributing to BDM research and encouraging practitioners toward more holistic development of SA systems, including design. The framework can serve as a catalyst for future construction projects where SA systems are intended to be adopted at the design phase.

Background

Diabetes is a leading cause of death, affecting nearly half a billion adults worldwide. With projections indicating a significant increase in prevalence, understanding the genetic factors that contribute to diabetes, particularly type 2, is crucial.

Methods

This study investigated the association of specific polymorphisms with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in the Uzbek population. A total of 165 individuals, including 125 patients with T2D and 40 controls, were genotyped for variants located in the DOCK7, ABCG8, UBE2E2, SYN2, HNF1A, and IGF2BP2 genes using real-time polymerase chain reaction.

Results

The analysis revealed significant associations between these polymorphisms and T2D under various genetic models. The distribution of the genotype frequencies was consistent with the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium.

Conclusion

The findings of this study underscore the importance of ethnic and geographical diversity in genetic studies and contribute to the understanding of T2D in the Uzbek population. Further research is needed to explore the clinical implications of these genetic associations.
