Revisiting Ice Ages Cycles
Authors: Donald Rapp
Published: August 2024

The astronomical theory of ice ages is widely accepted. Yet, it is not abundantly clear just exactly what the astronomical theory of ice ages is, other than the vague statement that variations in the Earth's orbit produce changes in solar irradiance at northern latitudes which is somehow related to the formation and termination of ice ages. Periodic variations in the Earth’s orbit produce variations in the insolation at high latitudes and ice ages begin on down lobes of insolation and terminate on up lobes of insolation. However, not all down lobes create ice ages and not all up lobes produce terminations. The ice ages changed character at the so-called mid-Pleistocene transition, about a million years ago. There is no current physical explanation for these difficulties with the astronomical theory. A reasonable explanation has been developed, that solidifies the astronomical theory by explaining the rise and fall of ice ages in both eras. The solar power absorbed at high northern latitudes depends on the insolation and absorptivity of the surface. The absorptivity is particularly affected by the obliquity in the pre-MPT era, and by dust deposits late in the post-MPT era. When these are included, it can be explained why some down lobes produce ice ages, and some up lobes produce terminations in both eras. In the pre-MPT era, ice ages originate when the insolation enters a down lobe and the obliquity is minimal (higher reflectivity) and ice ages terminate at a coincidence of high insolation and high obliquity (lower reflectivity). These links between SIHL and obliquity tend to be repetitive with approximately 41,000-year spacing. In the post-MPT era, ice ages also originate at a down lobe of SIHL. However, once an ice age is started, each successive up lobe in SIHL might cause a slight decrease in ice volume but doesn’t bring about a termination. After several precession cycles, high dust levels increase absorptivity, and the next-up lobe produces a termination.
I mötet mellan lekens frihet och undervisningens målorientering i förskolan
Authors: Björklund Camilla , Palmér Hanna
Published: August 2024

Fokus i denna artikel är mötet mellan lekens öppenhet och undervisningens målorientering i förskolan. Studiens syfte var att, med utgångspunkt i 62 videodokumentationer där förskollärare deltar i barns lek, visa hur målorientering kan konstitueras i lek och vad som då sker med leken i förhållande till barnens intentioner. Resultaten visar att målorienterade processer kan integreras i lek utan att lekens intentioner förändras. Resultaten visar också att målorienterade processer kan driva leken framåt när förskollärare möjliggör för barn att utveckla, för leken nödvändiga, kunskaper och färdigheter. Detta kräver att interaktionen mellan förskollärare och barn samtidigt är riktad mot målet för leken och mot hur barnet förstår det för leken nödvändiga innehållet. Kritiskt tycks vara hur lärandemål formas i förhållande till barnens initiativ eftersom dessa har betydelse både för lekens riktning och för vilka lärandemål som blir möjliga eller nödvändiga att behandla.
At the intersection of the openness of play and the goal-orientation of teaching in preschool
The focus of this article is on the openness of play and the goal-direction of teaching in preschool. The aim was to investigate how goal-orientation may be formed in play and in what ways this impacts on the play in relation to the children’s intentions. The study is based on 62 video documentations of play situations in which preschool teachers participate. The results show that goal-oriented processes can be integral to play when preschool teachers enable children to develop knowledge and skills necessary for the play. This, however, demands joint attention in the interaction as well as the teacher understanding the child’s understanding of the content that is necessary for the play simultaneously. Formulating learning goals in line with children’s intentions seems to be critical since children’s intentions direct the play and thus which learning goals that will be possible or necessary to comprise.
Tecken på teoretiskt tänkande om strukturer i bassystemet
Authors: Björk Marie , Nikula Åsa , Stensland Paul , Stridfält Anna
Published: August 2024

I den här artikeln beskrivs och diskuteras teoretiskt tänkande om strukturer i bassystemet hos elever som deltar i ett utforskande arbete med mätning av sträckor i olika baser. Data kommer från en studie med 44 elever i årskurs 4 där Davydovs matematiska program för en lärandeverksamhet användes för design av undervisningen. Film, elevuppgifter och transkriptioner har analyserats kvalitativt och kategoriserats. Analysen visar tecken på teoretiskt tänkande i form av handlingar, exempelvis frågor om, och beskrivningar av relationer mellan positionerna till vänster och höger om radixpunkten (tecknet som skiljer heltalsdel och bråkdel). Resultatet redovisas under tre kategorier: (a) basens funktion för det värde som siffrorna anger i talet, (b) positionsväxling och (c) entalet som ett av en kvantitet. Resultatet diskuteras i relation till tidigare forskning om elevers svårigheter med decimaltal.
Signs of theoretical thinking about structures in the base system
This article describes and discusses emerging theoretical thinking about structures in the base system among pupils who participate in an exploratory work where they measure distances in different bases. Data comes from a study with 44 pupils in grade 4 where Davydov’s mathematical program for a learning activity was used for the design of the teaching. Films, student assignments and transcripts have been analyzed qualitatively and categorized. The analysis shows signs of emerging theoretical thinking in the form of actions, such as questions about, and descriptions of relationships between the positions on the left and right of the radix point (the sign that distinguishes integer part and fractional part in the number). The result is reported under three categories: (a) the bases function to the digits´ value in the number, (b) position switching and (c) the unit as one of a quantity. The result is discussed in relation to previous research on pupils’ difficulties with decimal numbers.
Beyond the Boundaries of Faith: A Multidimensional of Religious Spatial Segregation in the Context of Urban Society
Authors: Hasaniy Nur Rif'ah , Azisurrohman Abdul
Published: August 2024

This study aims to analyzes the spatial dimension of religion contributes to polarization and conflict between religious groups in urban societies. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and literature review method, this research explores the forms, impacts, and prevention efforts of religious spatial segregation through analysis of cases involving the dissolution of religious rituals and rejection of houses of worship construction. This study argues that the spatial dimension of religion reinforces the boundaries of religious differences, transforming them from imaginary to clear and practical boundaries, thus giving rise to tensions between religious groups. In order to address religious violence resulting from segregation, this study proposes a peacebuilding design with an integrative structural and socio-cultural approach. The research findings indicate that the concept of religious spatiality is both ambiguous and paradoxical, with blurred categorizations of space trigger contestation of meaning between groups, potentially leading to conflict and violations of religious freedom. This study contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of religious conflict in urban contexts and highlights the importance of a spatial approach in conflict resolution and peacebuilding efforts.
The Complex Mechanism of Social Networks' Influence on the Behavior of Institutional Investors
Authors: Pan Yanzhe
Published: August 2024

It examines the mechanism of influence on institutional investors by social networks, specifically looking at the dual roles of information dissemination and social capital accumulation. This paper collects financial data, transaction records, and social network data concerning institutional investors. Descriptive statistical analysis and multivariate regression analysis were adopted to test the critical impact of social networks on investment decisions. The results show that information sources and social capital have a significant positive impact on investment amounts. Institutional investors who can obtain direct information sources have significantly increased their investment amounts, and the accumulation of social capital also has a significant promoting effect on investment amounts. Descriptive statistical analysis reveals the differences in the social capital and information sources of different investors on their investment behaviors. Regression analysis further quantifies these effects. It can be seen that information sources and social capital were 200000 and 10000 respectively, while the P value was far less than 0.01, highly significant in general. This paper not only verifies the key role of social network in institutional investors' behavior but provides a very important reference to sponsoring actual investment decisions. It shows how social networks have a significant role in information dispersion and accumulation of social capital on the behavior of guiding institutional investors. This promotes more extensive use of the scope of social network theory applications in the context of finance literature and provides newer perspectives and strategies for institutional investors.
A Prospective Study on the Economic Effects of China-GCC FTA - Simulation and Analyses Based on GTAP Model
Authors: Wu Yifan
Published: August 2024

In the context of the "Belt and Road" initiative, this paper is based on the China-GCC FTA negotiations, and uses the Global Trade Analysis Model (GTAP) to construct six scenarios of tariff reduction in key sectors and reduction of technical barriers to trade (TBT) between China and the GCC countries, and to assess the impacts of the construction of the FTA on the economies of China and related countries. The paper shows that increased trade liberalization has a positive economic impact on the China-GCC FTA. At the same time, tariff changes in the manufacturing and oil and gas industries dominated the tariff reductions, but the reduction of technical barriers to trade (TBT) has a particularly significant impact compared to tariffs. Bilateral trade will contribute more remarkably to China's continued economic growth than in the GCC countries. Reductions in trade barriers will effectively boost production demand in Chinese and GCC countries, contributing imports, exports and output, which will benefit both economies, specially, China's trade surpluses increasing particularly in various sectors.

LIMITES DA INTERVENÇÃO DO PODER JUDICIÁRIO EM POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS: NOVAS PERSPECTIVAS A PARTIR DO TEMA 698 DO SUPREMO TRIBUNAL FEDERAL
Authors: Paganini Toledo Roberta Cristina , Vechiato Betoni Hugo
Published: August 2024

Resumo: A intervenção do Poder Judiciário em políticas públicas é tema de debate recorrente pela doutrina e jurisprudência brasileiras nas últimas décadas. Uma linha tradicional tende a reconhecer que a definição das políticas públicas é tema afeto aos Poderes Legislativo e Executivo, de forma que a ingerência do juiz poderia configurar violação à Separação de Poderes. Todavia, o entendimento prevalecente atual admite que o Poder Judiciário interfira em caso de inércia injustificada dos demais Poderes, a fim de garantir efetividade à Constituição, especialmente às normas que consagram direitos fundamentais de cunho social. No julgamento do tema 698 de Repercussão Geral pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal, a questão foi novamente discutida, com definição de tese, em caráter vinculante, aprovada por maioria, com redação estabelecida pelo Ministro Luis Roberto Barroso. O tema foi delimitado como “limites do Poder Judiciário para determinar obrigações de fazer ao Estado, consistentes na realização de concursos públicos, contratação de servidores e execução de obras que atendam o direito social da saúde, ao qual a Constituição da República garante especial proteção”. A referida tese fixou três itens a serem observados pelo juízo, que poderão auxiliar em maior padronização dos provimentos jurisdicionais que intervenham em políticas públicas, além de oportunizar a via da reclamação constitucional para decisões que violem o entendimento fixado. Assim, espera-se que a tese tenha, como efeito, uma melhoria qualitativa do acesso à Justiça, principalmente nos processos de natureza coletiva que tratam do direito fundamental à saúde. Palavras-chave: Separação de Poderes; Políticas Públicas; Acesso à Justiça; Supremo Tribunal Federal; Precedentes vinculantes.

ANALYSIS OF GOOGLE TRANSLATE’S TRANSLATION AND THE AUTHOR’S FROM ALBANIAN TO SERBIAN LANGUAGE
Authors: MARKOVIQ Angjela , MALA-IMAMI Naile
Published: August 2024

Literary translation, as one of the most complex forms of translation, requires a special approach and attention, given that it involves not only conveying meanings but also preserving the style of the original text. Although the translation of texts using various online tools is becoming increasingly common today, the question arises - are these tools advanced enough, and can they replace the translation done by human authors? As our corpus material, we used specific excerpts from the first chapter of Ismail Kadare’s novel ‘The Palace of Dreams,’ which we translated using Google Translate and compared with the Serbian translation of this novel by Shkëlzen Maliqi. The aim of the paper is to examine the reliability of machine translation, i.e. analysing the mistakes it makes, compared to the translation of competent and professional translators. The comparison process is based on different linguistic disciplines, and we have come to the conclusions that Google Translate has not yet improved enough to become the main tool in the translation of literary texts, where professional translators still play a key role. Of course, the question arises - whether it would perform better in translating other types of literary texts or in translating different language groups, considering its diverse corpus of literary texts in its memory?

Authors: Ningsih Elisa Pitria
Published: August 2024

This research aims to explore the benefits and barriers in the implementation of digital technology in education. In the growing digital era, technology plays an important role in the teaching and learning process. This research uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach. Data was collected from academic databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and JSTOR to search for relevant articles, books, and other scholarly sources. The results show that the implementation of digital technology brings various benefits, including increased access to information, mor e interactive learning, as well as the development of digital skills in students. Teachers reported that technology helps in presenting materials in a more engaging manner and facilitates collaborative learning. Students feel more motivated and engaged in the learning process with the use of digital devices and online learning platforms. However, the study also identified a number of barriers to the implementation of digital technology. These include limited technological infrastructure, lack of training and technical support for teachers, and disparities in access to technology between students from different economic backgrounds. In addition, some teachers expressed concerns regarding the disruption caused by the use of technology in the classroom and challenges in integrating technology with the existing curriculum. The study concludes that while digital technology has great potential to improve the quality of education, its successful implementation is highly dependent on infrastructure readiness, training for educators and appropriate strategies to address access gaps. Recommendations are provided for policy makers and education practitioners to optimize the use of digital technology to achieve better educational outcomes.

Background: Following the COVID-19 pandemic, microvascular and macrovascular thrombotic problems emerged that required anticoagulants. Apixaban (RN) is a factor Xa inhibitor that treats deep vein thrombosis and the two forms of artery diseases (coronary artery disease and peripheral artery disease). Materials and Methods: The study objective was to create fast-disintegrating Apixaban Oral Thin Films (OTF) with the help of various super disintegrants to shorten disintegration time and enhance drug release in order to assist patients who have difficulty in swallowing conventional dosage forms and increase bioavailability. OTF was created using the solvent casting method. A 22 factorial design was employed in Design-Expert® software to develop an ideal formula. Results: The optimized film formula pH, drug content, disintegration time, folding endurance, and dissolution rate were estimated, and the film was subjected to a short-term stability study. The optimized formula exhibited a cumulative drug release of 93.47% in 60 sec. Conclusion: The drug's in vitro release pattern shows first-order kinetics and fickian diffusion was the mechanism of drug release. These findings supported that Apixaban OTFs offer a quick release of the medication from the administration site into the systemic circulation.

AgNPs, known for their unique physical and chemical properties, including antimicrobial capabilities, offer significant potential in modern drug delivery. This study investigates the potential of using Allium cepa peel waste for the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles. This study also revealed the resultant formation of silver nanoparticles through microscopy and UV spectroscopy, which were further analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy. This green synthesis method not only aligns with environmentally friendly practices but also provides a cost-effective and scalable approach to nanoparticle production. We formulated a hair dye incorporating these AgNPs and evaluated its physicochemical parameters, demonstrating enhanced performance compared to control formulations without nanoparticles. This work underscores the promise of green-synthesized nanoparticles in developing advanced drug delivery systems, offering insights into future applications in anticancer and antimicrobial treatments. Our findings advocate for the broader adoption of sustainable nanotechnology in pharmaceutical sciences, potentially revolutionizing the treatment landscape with safer and more effective therapeutic options.

In Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) and Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) approaches, incidental findings (IFs) or more precisely secondary findings (SFs) have indicated controversial reports. To address SFs issues, well-known guidelines have been released such as the versions of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG); however, when, to whom, why, and how these SFs should be reported are the key questions that need to be addressed ethically. The current review aimed to investigate the papers with a focus on the ethical approaches regarding IFs/SFs. In this comprehensive review, we searched the PubMed database for related publications, and 58 papers were selected as the narrowest reports. There was a positive tendency to disclose the SFs by the professionals and an enthusiasm in patients to be informed about all of their genetic reports. Several studies have addressed that guidelines could not cover all aspects of IFs/SFs ethically and medically. The main focus of these studies was the modernized opt-in informed consent according to some items including prenatal/post-natal or pediatric/adulthood issues. Other foci are genetic variant clinical actionability, cancer status, population-based backgrounds, time- and cost-effectiveness, the education level of subjects and clinicians, and the combinations of pharmacogenomics findings to introduce medicinal treatments and personalized prescriptions leading to more suitable healthcare. Altogether, concerns remain about the ethical approaches in the SFs; however, the present review introduced remarkable solutions which will be ethically and practically possible to be utilized. This review also found that recent reports are concentrated on the high-volume Exome Sequencing tests of subjects from biobanks and healthcare centers.

Published: August 2024

O presente artigo trata das perspectivas teóricas e jurídicas da alienação parental e da síndrome da alienação parental como dois institutos modernos, lidando com duas direções básicas da humanidade, especialmente no o campo da educação, a direção constitucional e cívica e a regulamentação legal. A Lei da Juventude também irá discutir e mostrar caminhos que são considerados seriamente na lista de países alienados, crianças e adolescentes abrangidos pela proteção contra legislação em investigação. Ele vai apresentar uma história breve das decisões judiciais e, ao mesmo tempo, ele irá incluir dois defensores relevantes que foram apresentados como um entendimento. Em outra linha, que também irá abordar uma discussão sobre o significado de alienação parental em contraste com Síndrome de Alienação Parental nas maneiras que esses institutos são protegidos de sanções penais diretos, suas consequências são psicologicamente estimuladas e o conjunto das penas previstas pela legislação brasileira.
Examination of the Legal-Moral Exigencies of Sports in Developing Nations and Minors

Published: August 2024

Sports betting has become a viable industry all over the world and in more recent times on the African continent creating jobs and economic opportunities for people and government. However, the secondary effect of sports betting or gambling is crime fuelled by addiction to sports betting. The author points out the dilemma of government in turning a blind eye to the criminality fuelled by the addiction to sports betting and economic opportunities for its citizenry which then necessitates terminologies such as legal gambling. This also creates an environment for the lack of protection of children who could be criminally and civilly exploited by the sports betting industry with no apparent legal consequences especially in developing nations. More, importantly the author tries to create the imagery of other bi-products of sports betting such as Match fixing as a class crime action requiring a special legislative and legal attention to effectively curtail the menace for the good of competitive sports in the world.
Judicial Accountability and Transparency in India: Flaws and Road Ahead

In a democratic system judiciary is very important organ for upholding and protecting the rights of the people. Not only an organ of judiciary is required but it is also very essential that this branch of government must be independent in its functioning. Independence is required to ensure the impartiality in decision making process. Without impartiality in the decision making process public cannot witness the sense justice. Along with the independence, judicial accountability and transparency is also necessary. In absence of judicial accountability, transparency and independence; justice will be an illusion for public. Justice is one of the most important objects of a democratic system. Justice is a major goal of law. Justice is very important for flourishing any democratic system because injustice with public ultimately leads to dissatisfaction, disaffection to government or ruler and results in revolt against State. Judicial independence cannot be isolated to the accountability for their work which judges carried out. Judges are also human being and they work under the human fallibilities. Judges cannot be exempted from the institutional supervisory mechanism. Judicial Independence seeks for adopting a proper mechanism for transparency and accountability.

Given COVID-19's unparalleled status as worldwide public health and economic disaster, the consequences for society, including companies, are nearly unthinkable. Since India became the first country in the world to impose a legal need for CSR in 2014, the concept has been evolving ever since. As India faces the second wave of the Covid-19 epidemic in 2021, a number of recent events have set the ground for dramatic transformations in the way companies approach social responsibility and collaborate with the social sector. The ministry of corporate affairs (MCA) has issued various clarifications on what corporations might consider as part of their CSR spend amid urgent increasing health care needs, as India pushes over four lakh Covid-19 cases per day in April. The most recent statement, made on May 5, was that enterprises may utilize CSR funding to build health infrastructure for Covid-19 care, including medical oxygen and storage plants, as well as manufacture and delivery of oxygen concentrators, ventilators, cylinders, and other medical equipment. This article examines the current epidemic from the perspective of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and its requirement for reshaping.
Cyber bullying: A Need for Separate Provision in Indian Law Saran
Authors: Errakot Saran , VK Rahoof
Published: August 2024

The Internet has become an essential component of our daily lives. It has opened the door to many opportunities and new social media culture. The Internet has made connecting and communicating with people more accessible than ever. The use of the Internet cannot be overemphasized as much as its inherent peril could not be underestimated. A few relevant ones are (but are not limited to) online harassment, voyeurism, identity theft, phishing, internet fraud, etc. The Internet has also become a medium for character assassination. Online abuse is severe and pervasive. It is severe because it causes the victim to suffer from mental distress, insecurity, and depression, especially in children. It is pervasive because it has become common, and the facility of publicity is detrimental to the dignity and reputation of people.[1] Cybercrimes have unique features and raise special evidentiary issues that might not be adequately addressed by simply stretching old laws to fit new crimes.[2] Most countries have taken measures to prevent cyberbullying. However, Indian law did not take cyberbullying into its cognizance. In this paper, we are dealing with cyberbullying and its effects, how foreign law deals with cyberbullying, how cyberbullying is dealt with in India, and most importantly, the need for separate provisions in Indian law to deal with it.
