North Korea’s policy toward South Korea and national unification and the tasks for North Korean defectors’ settlement support policies and education
Authors:   Association for the Reunificational Education of Korea, Shin Hyo-Sook
Published: February 2025

This study looked at changes in North Korea’s policy toward South Korea and national unification and examined the North Korean defectors’ settlement support policy and educational challenges raised here. North Korea's ‘Hostile Two-State Policy’ and the transition of policy toward South Korea and national unification will remain for a considerable period of time, whether internal or external. For the unification of the Korean Peninsula, various forms of unified state, such as coalitions and federations, including a single state, should be discussed based on the ‘National Community Unification Plan'.
The South Korean government established ‘North Korean Defectors Day' as a national anniversary and announced the‘August 15 Unification Doctrine'. Based on the analysis of this situation and the actual condition of North Korean defectors, the settlement support policy and education tasks for them were derived. First, it is necessary to maintain national bonds at the psycho-emotional level while recognizing North Korean defectors as equal citizens not only legally and politically but also socially and culturally. Second, it is necessary to improve the settlement support system in consideration of the entry trend and demographic characteristics of North Korean defectors. It is necessary to establish policies for customized support according to the life cycle, support for the marginalized and vulnerable, and support for the integration of North and South Koreans. Third, a family-level support policy should be established that can increase the possibility and expectations of raising the status of themselves and their children's generation. Fourth, the transformation of our society's perception and communication exchanges in the local community should be expanded.

A mindset shift is a profound transformation in an individual's beliefs, attitudes, and cognitive frameworks. It involves a reevaluation of one's assumptions, leading to a new way of interpreting and interacting with the world. This shift is not merely a change in perspective but a deeper restructuring of how a person understands a particular concept or situation. This exploratory paper analyzed the phenomenon of mindset shift among agriculture-oriented course in ZAMBASULTA. College students (n=30) were purposively sampled to be interviewed in this study. Themes were extracted from the interview narratives. This study observed a significant shift in the mindsets of agricultural and biosystems engineering students after enrolling in the program. Initially, many students viewed agriculture as a fallback profession for those without higher education, expressing skepticism about the field's value. However, after exposure to the program, their perspectives shifted towards a more positive and informed outlook. They began to appreciate the complexity of agriculture, its critical role in the economy, and the importance of technology, quality, and innovation in advancing the sector. Students' language also reflected this change, as they began to use terms that showed greater respect for farmers and the agricultural industry, highlighting how the program developed a deeper understanding and appreciation of the field. The findings might have direct application on educational strategies aimed at promoting agriculture-related programs, helping to reshape students' perceptions and attract more young people into the field. By understanding how mindset shifts occur through exposure and hands-on learning, educators and policymakers can design curricula that emphasize the importance of agriculture in national development and global sustainability.
Underutilisation of SPC Within the Mining Industry: Insights, Cross-industry Comparisons, and Opportunities
Authors: Halkiewicz Stanisław Marek
Published: February 2025

Statistical Process Control (SPC) is a quality control methodology that has been adopted extensively across numerous industries. It serves as an effective instrument for identifying and resolving process inconsistencies and variability, ensuring optimal efficiency and consistent product quality. By leveraging statistical methods, SPC aims to minimise waste and ensure that a product meets quality standards. Despite the extensive implementation of SPC in various manufacturing sectors, including the automotive, electronics, healthcare and hi-fi technologies sectors, its application in the mining industry remains underdeveloped and lacks comprehensive documentation in academic literature. This article aims to address this gap by exploring existing applications and explaining the potential reasons why the mining industry is an outlier. Furthermore, it endeavours to propose innovative applications of SPC. It has been determined that the mining industry is sufficiently specific in nature to potentially render the known applications of SPC ineffective, due to the limited human control that can be exercised over the quality and characteristics of the mined ore or material. Consequently, alternative and unconventional methodologies employing SPC are proposed as a potential solution, including techniques for predicting the depletion of a source (or a vein). The article also offers guidelines for practitioners that can allow them to implement SPC methods more rigorously, while avoiding the issues identified herein. A discussion on where to look for potential areas of SPC implementation in mining is also offered.

An Empirical Study on Residents' Intention for Low-Carbon Consumption : The Moderating Role of Frugal Values
Authors: Jing Hongxia , Rasiah Ratneswary
Published: February 2025

Frugality represents a fundamental aspect of traditional Chinese cultural values, consistently shaping individual behaviour. Effectively stimulating residents' intrinsic motivation to adopt low-carbon consumption practices is crucial for reducing carbon emissions in China. This research utilizes a questionnaire survey to investigate the low-carbon consumption intentions of residents in Shanxi Province, utilizing a structural equation model for analysis and prediction with SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 26.0. Drawing on the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), the study investigates the influence of attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control on low-carbon consumption intentions, with a particular focus on the moderating role of frugality values. The findings not only reaffirm the moderating function of Confucian cultural values but also extend the TPB framework by incorporating frugality as a moderating factor. Consistent with prior research, the results indicate a positive relationship between low-carbon consumption intentions and attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control. Although frugality values did not exert a direct effect on low-carbon consumption intentions, they significantly moderated the relationships between attitude and perceived behavioural control with consumption intentions. However, no significant moderating effect was observed for subjective norms, adding complexity to the existing literature. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of individual consumption behaviour and offer empirical insights into the role of cultural values in shaping low-carbon consumption intentions, providing novel strategies for enhancing public engagement in sustainable consumption practices in Shanxi Province.

Cholinesterase examination related to liver function and carried out by kinetic photometric method with two type reagent addition techniques, namely sample start and substrat start. Both techniques are related to incubation time during examination which affects waiting time for laboratory service result. This study aims to determine comparison of serum cholinesterase activity measured by sample start and substrat start techniques. The research was conducted in May 2024 at Clinical Chemistry Laboratory of Bandung Polytechnic Health. The research using Paired Sample T-test of 30 serum samples measured cholinesterase activity at 405 nm wavelength photometer using sample start and substrat start techniques so that 60 research data were obtained. The result of Paired Sample T-test showed that serum cholinesterase activity with sample start technique had lower trend value than serum cholinesterase activity with substrat start technique and there was no clinical effect with an analytical difference in cholinesterase activity measured by both techniques indicated by the Sig value 0.000 and TE% < TEa% that 4.72% < 8.7%. Therefore, the sample start and substrat start techniques in photometric method of serum cholinesterase activity can be applied for daily testing because the difference in value of two techniques has no clinical effect.

PARLIAMENTARY DIPLOMACY
Authors: Manukyan Martin
Published: February 2025

In the sphere of foreign relations, the powers of the National Assembly are provided for by Article 116 of the Constitution, according to which the legislator ratifies, suspends or annuls those international treaties that: 1) concern the fundamental rights and freedoms, as well as the duties of man and citizen, 2) are of a political or military nature, 3) provide for the membership of the Republic of Armenia in an international organization, 4) provide for the financial or property obligations of the Republic of Armenia, 5) directly provide for ratification, 6) contain issues subject to regulation by law, 7) the application of which provides for the amendment of the law or the adoption of a new law, or which contain norms that contradict the law.
The right to ratify and annul international treaties has historically belonged to the head of state. However, over time, international treaties have increasingly penetrated into the domestic legal system of states, forcing the latter to comply with their provisions and make changes to domestic legislation. And in recent years, the world community has confirmed the principle of the supremacy of international norms over national legislation. This is also enshrined in Article 5 of the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia.
In the sphere of foreign relations, the powers of the National Assembly should also include legislative regulation of diplomatic missions and consular services of the Republic of Armenia abroad. It should be noted that if before the constitutional reforms the National Assembly carried out only international relations through the Standing Committee on Foreign Relations, then two more were created in the parliament: the Standing Committee on European Integration, which deals with relations with the EU and the Council of Europe, as well as issues of harmonization of the legislation of the Republic of Armenia with European legislation, the Standing Committee on Regional and Eurasian Integration.

ՀԻՄՆԱՀԱՐՑԵՐԸ ԵՐԵՎԱՆ ՔԱՂԱՔԻ ՕՐԻՆԱԿՈՎ / BASIC ISSUES OF ORGANIZING LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT AS AN EXAMPLE OF YEREVAN CITY
Authors: Bisharyan Arpine
Published: February 2025

The constitutional foundations of the institution of local self-government in the Republic of Armenia were laid by the adoption of the 1995 Constitution.
With the establishment of the new system of the administrative territorial structure of the country, as well as with the adoption of the RA Law “On Local Self-Government” in 1996, power decentralization took place in the Republic of Armenia, which provided the basis for the formation of local self-government.
Since these turning changes, the local self-government in Yerevan has also undergone key changes, starting with the status of Yerevan, ending with the electoral system of the council of elders and the mayor, and the relationship between their powers. Yerevan is a community with a special status, which is due to the exceptional role of the capital in the economic, political, socio-cultural life of the Republic of Armenia, as well as the high degree of concentration of the population.
On November 27, 2005 one of the main constitutional changes related to local self-government was the recognition of Yerevan as a community. As a result of the constitutional regulations, local elections were also held in Yerevan, which were organized for the first time on May 31, 2009 and in the field of self-government of the latter, unique conditions and principles were established, which were not typical of the self-government systems of the rest of Armenia’s communities. Similar changes in Yerevan’s self-government sector were due to the rapid pace of development of the capital, the need to increase the effectiveness of the formation and operation of the self-government system, and the importance of conducting a unified and effective policy in various fields.
Long-range weather forecast in the world and in the Czech Republic

Published: February 2025

The first part of the article summarizes the basic knowledge regarding long-term weather forecasting which, by definition, covers a period from a few weeks to several years. This type of forecasting is nowadays undergoing a great development and its use is spreading to a wide range of different sectors. Slowly changing parts of the climate system are important for long-term forecasting, and their evolution over longer time scales is more easily estimated. The success rate of long-term forecasting is therefore high in the tropical Pacific, for example, due to the good predictability of El Niño events, which have a major impact on the weather there. However, Europe has a very diverse climate, influenced by the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, the Arctic and continental influences from Eastern Europe and Asia. This complexity makes predictions more difficult. In the second part of the paper we discuss the possibilities of statistical downscaling of long-term forecasts for the Czech Republic, which is one of the main objectives of the Perun project.

This article deals with reassessment of the methodology of wildfire risk conditions after the unprecedented fire in the Bohemian Switzerland National Park during July and August 2022. The original methodology took into account mainly critical fire weather conditions based on maximum temperatures, relative humidity and wind speed. However, the large-scale fire mentioned above has shown that this approach is no longer sufficient under changing climatic conditions. Therefore, multiple inputs were implemented within the new severe wildfire risk calculation. The severe wildfire risk assessment uses a combination of the fire weather index, the Haines index expressing the instability of the atmosphere, the area vulnerability index, which expresses the actual density of wildfires over the last decade, and the drought intensity expressed by the antecedent precipitation index. The newly developed Severe Wildfire Risk index can help to detect the risk of large and difficult-to-extinguish wildfires in advance.
Causes of Maritime Disputes in Light of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea
Authors: Almalki Sultan
Published: February 2025

The research aims to study maritime disputes in light of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and to identify the main causes leading to such disputes. Using a descriptive-analytical approach, the study examines the origins of the Law of the Sea, the precursors to the 1982 Convention, and the conferences that preceded it. Additionally, it explores international disputes, maritime international disputes, and the causes of maritime conflicts. This study has reached several key findings, the most important of which is that maritime disputes receive significant attention from the international community, particularly regarding their resolution and the reduction of their causes. International and maritime courts, in particular, have established specialized chambers to handle specific disputes based on their subject matter, with highly qualified and specialized judges overseeing them. Furthermore, the causes of maritime disputes are not solely due to violations of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea but may also result from incorrect application or misinterpretation of a bilateral agreement between two states concerning maritime matters. Many maritime disputes share similar causes. The study concludes with several recommendations, the most important being that national legislations should be fully aligned with the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and its provisions to minimize the emergence of maritime disputes. This would prevent states from acting in violation of the Convention while relying on their domestic laws as justification. Additionally, a comprehensive study of maritime disputes brought before international courts should be conducted to develop a model for resolving such conflicts, serving as a guiding framework for states to expedite dispute resolution.

Let \( s, t \) be any numbers in \( \{0,1\} \) and let \( \pi = \pi_1 \pi_2 \cdots \pi_m \) be any word. We say that \( i \in [m-1] \) is an \( (s,t) \)-parity-rise if \( \pi_i \equiv s \pmod{2} \), \( \pi_{i+1} \equiv t \pmod{2} \), and \( \pi_i < \pi_{i+1} \). We denote the number of occurrences of \( (s,t) \)-parity-rises in \( \pi \) by \( \text{rise}_{s,t}(\pi) \). Also, we denote the total sizes of the \( (s,t) \)-parity-rises in \( \pi \) by \( \text{size}_{s,t}(\pi) \), that is, \( \text{size}_{s,t}(\pi) = \sum_{\pi_i < \pi_{i+1}} (\pi_{i+1} - \pi_i). \) A composition \( \pi = \pi_1 \pi_2 \cdots \pi_m \) of a positive integer \( n \) is an ordered collection of one or more positive integers whose sum is \( n \). The number of summands, namely \( m \), is called the number of parts of \( \pi \). In this paper, by using tools of linear algebra, we found the generating function that counts the number of all compositions of \( n \) with \( m \) parts according to the statistics \( \text{rise}_{s,t} \) and \( \text{size}_{s,t} \), for all \( s, t \).
An arithmetic analogue of Fox's triangle removal argument

We give an arithmetic version of the recent proof of the triangle removal lemma by Fox [Fox11], for the group \( \mathbb{F}_2^n \). A triangle in \( \mathbb{F}_2^n \) is a triple \( (x, y, z) \) such that \( x + y + z = 0 \). The triangle removal lemma for \( \mathbb{F}_2^n \) states that for every \( \varepsilon > 0 \) there is a \( \delta > 0 \), such that if a subset \( A \) of \( \mathbb{F}_2^n \) requires the removal of at least \( \varepsilon \cdot 2^n \) elements to make it triangle-free, then it must contain at least \( \delta \cdot 2^{2n} \) triangles.

This problem was first studied by Green [Gre05] who proved a lower bound on \( \delta \) using an arithmetic regularity lemma. Regularity-based lower bounds for triangle removal in graphs were recently improved by Fox, and we give a direct proof of an analogous improvement for triangle removal in \( \mathbb{F}_2^n \).

The improved lower bound was already known to follow (for triangle-removal in all groups) using Fox's removal lemma for directed cycles and a reduction by Král, Serra, and Vena~\cite{KSV09} (see [Fox11, CF13]). The purpose of this note is to provide a direct Fourier-analytic proof for the group \( \mathbb{F}_2^n \).

The Stirling number of the second kind \( S(n, k) \) counts the number of ways to partition a set of \( n \) labeled balls into \( k \) non-empty unlabeled cells. We extend this problem and give a new statement of the \( r \)-Stirling numbers of the second kind and \( r \)-Bell numbers. We also introduce the \( r \)-mixed Stirling number of the second kind and \( r \)-mixed Bell numbers. As an application of our results we obtain a formula for the number of ways to write an integer \( m > 0 \) in the form \( m_1 \cdot m_2 \cdot \cdots \cdot m_k \), where \( k \geq 1 \) and \( m_i \)'s are positive integers greater than 1.

The main theorem establishes the generating function \(F\) which counts the number of times the staircase \(1 + 2 + 3 + \cdots + m^+\) fits inside an integer composition of \(n\).
\[
F = \frac{k_m - \frac{q x^m y}{1-x} k_{m-1}}{(1-q)x^{\binom{m+1}{2}} \left( \frac{y}{1-x} \right)^m + \frac{1-x-xy}{1-x} \left( k_m - \frac{q x^m y}{1-x} k_{m-1} \right)}.
\]
where
\[
k_m = \sum_{j=0}^{m-1} x^{mj - \binom{j}{2}} \left( \frac{y}{1-x} \right)^j.
\]

Here \(x\) and \(y\) respectively track the composition size and number of parts, whilst \(q\) tracks the number of such staircases contained.

Pattern occurrence statistics and applications to the Ramsey theory of unavoidable patterns
Authors:   Department of Mathematics, Caltech MC 253-37, 1200 E California Blvd, Pasadena, California 91125, USA, Tao Jim
Published: February 2025

As suggested by Currie, we apply the probabilistic method to problems regarding pattern avoidance. Using techniques from analytic combinatorics, we calculate asymptotic mean pattern occurrence and use them in  conjunction with the probabilistic method to establish new results about the Ramsey theory of unavoidable  patterns in the abelian full word case and in the nonabelian partial word case.

Applying the multisection series method to the MacLaurin series expansion of arcsin-function, we transform the Apéry–like series involving the central binomial coefficients into systems of linear equations. By resolving the  linear systems (for example, by Mathematica), we establish numerous remarkable infinite series formulae for π and logarithm functions, including several recent results due to Almkvist et al. (2003) and Zheng (2008).

Following the work of Cano and Díaz, we study continuous binomial coefficients and Catalan numbers. We explore their analytic properties, including integral identities and generalizations of discrete convolutions. We also conduct an in-depth analysis of a continuous analogue of the binomial distribution, including a stochastic representation as a Goldstein-Kac process.
Callan-like identities

Published: February 2025

In 1998, D. Callan obtained a binomial identity involving the derangement numbers. In this paper, by using the theory of formal series, we extend such an identity to the generalized derangement numbers. Then, by using the same technique, we obtain other identities of the same kind for the generalized arrangement numbers, the generalized Laguerre polynomials, the generalized Hermite polynomials, the generalized exponential polynomials and the generalized Bell numbers, the hyperharmonic numbers, the Lagrange polynomials and the Gegenbauer polynomials.

Let \( p(x) = a_0 + a_1x + \dots + a_nx^n \) be a polynomial with all roots real and satisfying \( x \leq -\delta \) for some \( 0 < \delta < 1 \). We show that for any \( 0 < \epsilon < 1 \), the value of \( p(1) \) is determined within relative error \( \epsilon \) by the coefficients \( a_k \) with \( k \leq \frac{c}{\sqrt{\delta}} \ln \frac{n}{\epsilon \sqrt{\delta}} \) for some absolute constant \( c > 0 \). As a corollary, we show that if \( m_k(G) \) is the number of matchings with \( k \) edges in a graph \( G \), then for any \( 0 < \epsilon < 1 \), the total number \( M(G) = m_0(G) + m_1(G) + \dots \) of matchings can be approximated within relative error \( \epsilon \) in polynomial time from the numbers \( m_k(G) \) with \( k \leq c\sqrt{\Delta} \ln(v / \epsilon) \), where \( \Delta \) is the largest degree of a vertex, \( v \) is the number of vertices of \( G \), and \( c > 0 \) is an absolute constant. We prove a similar result for polynomials with complex roots satisfying \( \Re z \leq -\delta \) and apply it to estimate the number of unbranched subgraphs of \( G \).

Published: February 2025

In this paper we find recurrence relations for the asymptotic probability a vertex is k protected in all Motzkin trees. We use a similar technique to calculate the probabilities for balanced vertices of rank k. From this we calculate upper and lower bounds for the probability a vertex is balanced and upper and lower bounds for the expected rank of balanced vertices.
On computational complexity of plan curve invariants

Published: February 2025

The theory of generic smooth closed plane curves initiated by Vladimir Arnold is a beautiful fusion of topology, combinatorics, and analysis. The theory remains fairly undeveloped. We review existing methods to describe generic smooth closed plane curves combinatorially, introduce a new one, and give an algorithm for efficient computation of Arnold’s invariants. Our results provide a good source of future research projects that involve computer experiments with plane curves. The reader is not required to have background in topology and even undergraduate  students with basic knowledge of differential geometry and graph theory will easily understand our paper.

Binge-Watching and Continuation Intention in VoD Services: The Mediating Role of Cliffhangers Among Young Viewers
Authors: Firman Fauzi  , Agung Hudaya  , Dewi Murtiningsih
Published: February 2025

The impact of binge watching is an evolving phenomenon affecting consumers' continuation intention on video-on-demand (VOD) platforms, mediated by cliffhangers. This study targets a population of young individuals aged 17-25 years. The research design is quantitative, aiming to demonstrate the cause-and-effect relationship between binge watching and continuation intention, mediated by cliffhangers. The novelty of this research lies in not only examining the direct relationship between binge watching and continuation intention but also investigating the mediating effect of cliffhangers, providing deeper insights into the underlying mechanisms of consumer behavior. Data analysis was conducted using the Smart PLS application, utilizing primary data for the study. The findings indicate that cliffhangers directly have a positive and significant impact on the continuation intention for video-on-demand and also significantly influence binge watching. Additionally, binge watching has a positive and significant effect on the continuation intention for video-on-demand. However, indirect, binge watching has a positive but not significant effect on the continuation intention for video-on-demand when mediated by cliffhangers.
