Authors:   Korean Academy Of International Commerce, Inc., Li Xiao-hui , Lee Yang-kee
Published: November 2023

Purpose: This paper analyzes trends in court rulings as well as application of the law to China's international trade activities in contract disputes caused by COVID-19.
Research design, data, and methodology: This paper adopts a case study approach by analyzing the application of legal provisions to the judicial practice of Chinese courts in international contractual disputes for goods related to the pandemic.
Results: Case analysis shows that COVID-19 is an obstacle to the performance of China's international trade contracts, and Chinese courts still follow the principle of first examining whether there is a force majeure clause in the contract between the parties.
Conclusions: This paper suggests it is necessary to include specific contractual provisions relating to hardship and force majeure in order to establish the intended allocation of contractual risk well in advance.

Bilirubin metabolism & pathophysiology of neonatal jaundice
Authors: Gupta Pradeep Kumar
Published: November 2023

Jaundice is a visible yellowish color change in skin and sclera, secondary to elevated serum bilirubin which accumulates in the skin. Visibility of jaundice depends upon the age of the patient, color/complexion of the skin and level of bilirubin in blood. It is more easily visible in fair complexioned and new born (particularly, pre term) babies. In the new born, jaundice is visible during the 1 week of life in 60% of full term and 80% preterm infants.
Amyands hernia in pediatric case: Manageable but challenging to diagnose preoperatively
Authors: Jhanwar Praveen , Rehman Sohail
Published: November 2023

Vermiform appendix within inguinal hernial sac is known as amyands hernia which is rare entity. Incidence varies from 0.5% to 1%. Vermiform appendix may or may not present as appendicitis however the trapped appendix may incarcerate and may present with perforation and strangulated.

Here we report a case of 2 year old baby presented as right sided inguinoscrotal, reducible, painless swelling since birth. He was diagnosed as inguinal hernia. During herniotomy appendix was found as its content.

This case report aims to document another case of amyands hernia impersonating as inguinal hernia as patients often are asymptomatic with low level of suspicion even on routine ultrasonography hence surgeon may encounter unexpected intraoperative findings.
Análisis de la expresión del gen de la S-RNasa en cruzas controladas de Prunus serotina subsp. Capulí
Authors: Mejía Duque Daniela Carolina , Torres María de Lourdes , Baquero Méndez Verónica
Published: November 2023

El árbol de capulí (Prunus serotina subsp. capulí) pertenece a la familia Rosaceae y es originario de América del Norte, aunque se encuentra ampliamente distribuido en zonas frías y templadas de Sudamérica, especialmente en Ecuador. Su fruto es una baya pequeña de alto interés comercial debido a las sustancias terapéuticas que contiene como antioxidantes, asociados al tratamiento de enfermedades cardiovasculares e inflamatorias. Tanto productores nacionales como pueblos ancestrales lo utilizan para la elaboración de mermeladas y bebidas fermentadas y/o espirituosas. Sin embargo, no existen cultivos agrícolas establecidos como tales en el Ecuador, por lo que resulta interesante estudiar sus mecanismos de reproducción para aplicarlos en programas de agricultura y reforestación. En especies como P. serotina es interesante entender el mecanismo GSI (gametophytic self-incompatibility) que ha evolucionado en flores hermafroditas para evitar la endogamia y que implica una limitación para la producción de frutos. El GSI es controlado por el Locus S, conformado por el gen de la S-RNasa (expresado en el pistilo) y el gen SFB, (expresado en el polen). La dinámica entre los dos genes activa o desactiva ciertas proteínas que influyen en la compatibilidad o incompatibilidad de una determinada cruza, funcionando como un complejo molecular a modo de llave y cerradura. Este sistema evita que cruzas entre individuos genéticamente emparentados puedan generar frutos, ya que trunca el crecimiento de tubos polínicos que no pueden llegar al ovario a fecundar. Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo estudiar la expresión del gen de la S-RNasa, en cruzas compatibles e incompatibles del capulí. Para esto, se realizaron polinizaciones controladas, se extrajo ARN y se realizó una RT-qPCR. Con los valores Ct obtenidos de las qPCR, se realizaron análisis estadísticos para determinar la significancia de la expresión génica entre las cruzas compatibles e incompatibles. Se complementó el estudio con un análisis del desarrollo de tubos polínicos en las distintas cruzas para entender la relación con la expresión del gen de la S-RNasa. Los resultados alcanzados sugieren que, en el caso del capulí, puede suceder una supresión del sistema GSI, provocando que cruzas consideradas como incompatibles actúen como compatibles.
Five innovation energy mechanisms need strategic and operational HRM involvement—An abductive case study at Saxion University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands
Authors: Essen Henk Jan van , Leede Jan de
Published: November 2023

This paper provides insight into innovation energy, its five working mechanisms, and innovative work behaviour (IWB). Although human energy is often mentioned as an important factor in theories about motivation, it is still an unexplored theme in literature. The management of organisations often focuses on the innovation content and neglects the process aspects. Strategic and operational HRM involvement is needed to realising the essential conditions for the innovation energy of innovative employees. An abductive case study on innovation energy took place in five educational departments of one academy at Saxion University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands. We interviewed 21 innovating lecturers and their five team leaders individually and organised five focus groups with a total of 17 team members. Innovation energy converts individual innovation properties (creativity, psychological empowerment, and optimism) into IWB. Organisations must pay attention to these properties and four other working mechanisms (autonomy, teamwork, leadership, and external contacts) that influence this conversion process. HRM professionals should be involved with innovation processes to realise the right conditions for innovation energy, together with line management. The construct of innovation energy with five working mechanisms gives more insight into the IWB process from the perspective of the engaged employee with IWB. This research contributes to the body of knowledge on IWB, (human) innovation energy, and engagement in relation to HRM.
Evaluating the efficiency of renewable energy technologies through thermodynamic analyzes
Authors: Gorgulu Yasin Furkan
Published: November 2023

Renewable energy systems hold the key to a sustainable energy future, and at their core lies the pivotal influence of thermodynamics. This article comprehensively explores the fundamental thermodynamic principles that underpin renewable energy technologies, providing a robust foundation for understanding and optimizing their performance. In the context of renewable energy, temperature differentials drive energy flows, pressure and volume changes play crucial roles, and the conservation of energy is paramount. The Second Law of Thermodynamics, represented by entropy, guides the direction of natural processes within these systems. Exergy, a related concept, assesses the quality of energy within a system, facilitating efficiency evaluations. Renewable energy systems often operate on thermodynamic cycles, forming the basis for technologies like solar power plants and geothermal facilities. Heat transfer mechanisms, including conduction, convection, and radiation, are integral to these systems and influence their design and operation. This article summarizes these thermodynamic fundamentals in the context of renewable energy, offering insights into the principles that drive efficiency and sustainability. Understanding these principles is crucial for harnessing renewable energy’s full potential and aligning with global efforts to transition toward cleaner and more sustainable energy sources.
Abrasive flow machining of specimens of cast billets from austenomartensitic steel with high-viscosity media
Authors: Levko V. A. , Teryaev N. S. , Litovka O. V. , Ivanov P. A.
Published: November 2023

The paper presents the results of research on abrasive flow machining of removable specimens of cast billets made of austenomartensitic steel placed in a simulator of a closed curvilinear channel. The change in the roughness and micro-hardness of the surface of the samples was evaluated. There are two stages of machining. At the first stage of machining, most of the casting skin is removed. At the second stage, the casting skin is removed completely and the base metal layer is removed. It was established that the main mechanism for removing material from the surface of a cast billet is microcutting at the level of elementary real areas of contact of individual grain micro-protrusions. According to the results of the experiments, it is recommended to use abrasive flow machining with highly viscous medium to improve the roughness and increase the micro-hardness of the inner surfaces of the closed channels of cast billets.

These questions are dealt with in this article, as well as the first seeds of individualization in epic men heroes’ portraits (attribution of certain characteristics to a hero; dissociation of qualities and their attribution to different characters; opposition of qualities etc.) and one development of the woman portrait which unfolds along two axes: lexical enrichment and detailed description of new elements.
The language’s metaphor of anger in Toba Batak
Authors: Mahriyuni  , Pramuniati Isda
Published: November 2023

Every human being in the world has experienced emotions. Emotions are natural reactions or feelings directed at someone. Emotions are basically closely related to a person’s perspective on thinking and doing something. Metaphor consists of a fabric of words resulting from human activity. To review human expression, metaphors also play a role in describing human mental processes. Humans conceptualize and manifest their behavior and understanding through metaphorical expressions. This study explores and explains (1) the shape or form of Toba Batak metaphors and (2) the meaning of Batak language metaphors in supporting the strengthening of the national integration process. This research is descriptive qualitative by conducting interviews on the use of angry metaphors in Batak culture in everyday life, as well as documentary and book data, aimed at describing the meaning of angry metaphors in Toba Batak language. This research was started by collecting vocabulary dealing with verbs showing anger in Toba Batak language. The data in this study are in the form of metaphorical expressions that contain the meaning of anger in Toba Batak language speech in documentaries, books, and the research results from interviews conducted. The subjects in this study were 5 parents aged 50-80 years, and one was a Paradat (a person who actively participates in traditional activities and understands customary procedures). The results of this study indicate that the meaning of the angry metaphor in the Toba Batak language above is a symbol or figure of speech that contains emotion in speaking and acting, depicting expressions of thoughts reflecting attitudes and behavior in life. Then, the angry metaphor found in the Toba Batak language can affect attitudes to life.

Authors: Vu Thanh Huong , Ha Dieu Linh , Le Phuong Thao
Published: November 2023

This study examines the effects of technological advancements on changes in the labor structure within Vietnam's manufacturing and processing industries. The study utilizes a panel dataset that combines each year's enterprise census data from 2012 to 2018 with the enterprise statistics of technology data provided by the Vietnam General Statistics Office throughout the same timeframe. This study highlighted four key aspects that contribute to technology-related challenges. These factors include external technology purchasing, research and development activities, absorbability of technology, and the influence of Foreign Direct Investment firms. The study tested the endogeneity in the model, overcame the defects of the model, and selected the fixed effect model to assess the four factors affecting labor structural change. The Lilien index is used to measure the level of structural change in labor in the manufacturing and processing industries of Vietnam. The results show that external technology acquisition and R&D activities had a positive effect on the Lilien index. Moreover, compelling data indicates that the location of technology acquisition has a contrasting influence on labour structural change, with varying effects observed in enterprises that employ high versus low levels of technology. The findings will serve as a significant indicator for governmental entities and management in formulating policies aimed at enhancing the overall efficiency of firms and facilitating labour restructuring initiatives.

Authors: Nimbalkar Sadashiv D. , Patil Deepak S.
Published: November 2023

Background: Azolla is a nature’s gift and regenerates within 24 hours and has tremendous uses like supplementary feed to livestock. It is one of the most nutritive animal feeds and also can be used by livestock farming communities. Azolla has several times higher levels of crude protein than other forage crops and is also rich in minerals. The aim of the current study is to study growth in various water sources and their quality as supplementary feed to livestock. Methods: A study was conducted in a randomized block design (RBD) with five different treatments and replicated five times to minimize the error. The study was carried out to explore the yield and nutritive value of Azolla pinnata cultivated under different water sources like well water, river water, bore well water, sewage water and drainage water. The duration of the study was three years from Jan 2019 to March 2022. The silpauline plastic bed having dimensions 12 × 4 ft size was used. Every alternate day, the fresh Azolla was harvested and recorded the weight. Result: The pooled data for three years (2019 to 2022) showed a higher yield of 0.31 kg/day of fresh Azolla pinnata in Mula Mutha river water (T2) and 0.30 kg in well water (T1) and sewage water (T4) crude protein content was highest (28.07 %) in sewage water (T4).
análisis de la narrativa periodística autorreferencial acerca de la fase previa al escándalo en el Caso Sendic
Authors: Amen Gastón , Andacht Fernando Torres
Published: November 2023

En este artículo analizamos la mediatización retrospectiva y autorreferencial efectuada por periodistas del periódico El Observador, de la producción noticiosa que inició el escándalo político que derivó en la renuncia del entonces vicepresidente uruguayo, Raúl Sendic Rodríguez, el 9 de setiembre de 2017. Esta noticia, publicada el 24 de febrero de 2016, fue el resultado de una investigación que buscó dilucidar si era real la licenciatura en Genética Humana que Sendic afirmaba tener. A partir del análisis, surge la importancia que en ese proceso mediático tuvieron los signos indiciales, dado que fueron centrales en el comienzo del escándalo, la grabación y reproducción masiva de un diálogo telefónico donde Sendic, sin tener claro el encuadre de la interacción, reconoció ante una periodista que no había cursado una licenciatura. También constatamos que los factores políticos y los derivados de la auto imagen profesional de los periodistas implicados fueron muy importantes en esta producción noticiosa. Tanto el posicionamiento del periódico en el espectro político opositor al gobierno del Frente Amplio de ese entonces, como el ideal de la fidelidad a los hechos, que ha marcado la tradición del periodismo de investigación, fueron los principales factores que animaron esta elaboración noticiosa. Ella puso en primer plano una transgresión que, a la luz de la noción semiótica de ‘mentalidad’ y de los signos icónicos y simbólicos del imaginario social uruguayo, fue interpretada como una afrenta a un mito central de este imaginario mesocrático, como lo es el ‘mito de un país de ciudadanos cultos.
Media and values: Stanisław Pietraszko and culturological media studies
Authors: Kil Aleksandra
Published: November 2023

The paper offers a media-studies-inflected interpretation of Stanisław Pietraszko’s thought. Adopting the perspective of cultural mediology of the humanities, I analyze both Pietraszko’s published writings and his notes from the as-yet unresearched archival collection of his index cards. My focus is on the nexus of communication and technology, a theme rarely discussed by Pietraszko and even more rarely addressed in the reception of his work. I propose a reading of Pietraszko’s postcard-focused “Messages and values” as “Media and values,” in doing which I seek to make contemporary interpretations of his ideas more nuanced. Although Pietraszko, who was indebted to the cybernetic theory of communication, wrote about “messages” rather than “media,” he also explored the non-verbal properties of the carrier, which he believed to be replete with references to values. This encourages locating his article in the field of media-studies inquiry even though the very term “media” does not appear in the text at all. Given that Pietraszko’s conception can be regarded as epitomizing the former stage in the development of cultural theory with its emphasis on relative autonomy, I note the anachronic quality of his thought vis-à-vis technology. At the same time, I point out the parallels between the study of singular and “gone/renderedredundant” messages he proposed and the pursuits of today’s media archaeology.

Authors: Wahid Ahmad , JInca Muhammad Yamin , Rachman Taufiqur , Malisan Johny
Published: November 2023

Traditional shipping ships abbreviated as Pelra have a different character from conventional ships. Hypothetically, the application of Safety Management System (SMS) on Pelra is influenced by technical and non-technical factors. These factors are control variables and determinants of action priorities if SMS is applied to the safety of traditional shipping, so that it has implications as a basis for formulating and developing safety policies for traditional shipping transportation in an effort to reduce the risk of accidents. This research uses Structural Equation Modeling by analyzing expert opinions. The results of the analysis show that technical and non-technical factors have a direct and interconnected effect on Pelra safety management. The dominant influences are non-technical factors of authority and responsibility of the company and crew as well as the feasibility of ship construction as technical and environmental factors..

Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) is one of emerging therapies which aims to minimize the lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) of BPH and volume of enlarged prostate. We reported here a case of 100-year-old man with 90 cm3 prostate and severe symptoms secondary to BPH, who underwent a successful PAE through distal transradial access without any complication. The patient satisfied with this treatment and no symptoms recurrence after PAE. It demonstrated that PAE was a safe and effective treatment for BPH and was indicated in elderly/ non-surgical candidate.
Family Functioning Influences on Smartphone Addiction among Muslim Adolescents in Southern Thailand
Authors: Kim Yejin , Dhammasaccakarn Wanchai , Laeheem Kasetchai , Rinthaisong Idsaratt
Published: November 2023

This study examines the prevalence and determinants of smartphone addiction (SA) in a sample of 825 Muslim secondary school students from three provinces along the southern border of Thailand. Employing purposive sampling, the research highlights a concerning 70% rate of SA, surpassing the rates observed in other Asian demographics. The investigation reveals a robust link between parental education levels and smartphone usage among adolescents. Utilizing a structural equation model (SEM), family functioning dimensions such as ‘Emotional Status’ and ‘Discipline’ are shown to have a considerable impact on SA. Contrary to expectations, enhanced ‘Family Support’ has emerged as a potential risk factor, suggesting nuances in family dynamics that may contribute to SA. The findings advocate for the reinforcement of family functioning and call for initiatives to improve digital literacy and foster open communication between parents and children. However, the reliance on self-reported measures and the cross-sectional nature of the study underlines the necessity for more expansive future research to validate these findings and explore underlying mechanisms.

Authors: Skinner Karen E. , Stoever Anneliese , Zakibe John R. , Butler Taylor , Kreuter Matthew W.
Published: November 2023

COVID-19 self-test kits were distributed to low-income, older adults (n = 2532) with their home-delivered or congregate meals in May 2022. Later, a convenience sample (n = 1108) were contacted for follow-up, and 606 (55%) were reached. Among 79% who remembered getting the test, only 34% already had a test kit, but nearly all liked receiving it (91%) and reported they would use or had used it (93%). Partnering with meal-delivery service providers was feasible to increase access to COVID-19 self-tests for low-income older adults.

Case:

We report the case of a 34-year-old woman with a chronic right volar dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) and associated ulnar styloid fracture. The patient presented 1 month after a dog bite injury with wrist pain and limited range of motion, and radiographs demonstrated volar DRUJ dislocation. Closed reduction was unsuccessful, and thus, open reduction was performed.

Conclusion:

Isolated volar DRUJ dislocations in the absence of fractures are easy to misdiagnose on plain radiographs. We present our surgical technique and fixation algorithm for open reduction and stabilization for chronic volar DRUJ dislocations.

Information related to ocean currents is not yet available in Berakit Village waters, ocean currents are an important parameter to determine the condition of a waters. An alternative that can be used to determine the condition of ocean currents is to use hydrodynamic modeling. The purpose of the study was to analyze the distribution pattern and characteristics of surface ocean currents. This research was conducted by conducting 2-dimensional hydrodynamic modeling simulating ocean currents for 1 (one) year in December 2020-November 2021 using MIKE 21 software by sampling in 6 (six) different conditions, namely at the highest tide, lowest tide, high tide. towards the ebb and flow of the full moon, the ebb towards the negligible tide, the tide towards the ebb tide and the ebb towards the negligible tide. The model results were validated by the RMSE formula with a value of 2%, the model results were very good, so that they could be used as a reference in providing an overview of the real conditions of the pattern and current distribution at the research location. The movement of ocean currents at the time of the full moon and negligible dominant currents move towards the south of the waters, while at the time of the full tide and negligible the dominant currents move towards the north of the waters. In the north season, the current velocity ranges from 0.00006 m/s-0.125 m/s with the dominant movement towards the north. East monsoon currents move predominantly north and south with speeds ranging from 0.0000003 m/s-0.129 m/s. In the south monsoon the dominant current moves to the north and south at a speed of 0.0000007 m/s-0.13 m/s. in the west season, the dominant current moves to the north and south at a speed of 0.00001 m/s-0.12 m/s. The speed of the dominant ocean currents is greater at high tide compared to low tide, this is due to differences in sea level elevation in the opposite direction of motion.
EL CUMPLIMIENTO DE LAS NORMAS DE PROPIEDAD INTELECTUAL: HACIA UNA COMPRENSIÓN DE SU PREVALENCIA REAL Y FACTORES ASOCIADOS
Authors: Castro Toledo Francisco J.
Published: November 2023

ResumenEl presente artículo desarrolla las principales características acerca del diseño e implementación del proyecto InfractorXs. Con este proyecto se pretende abordar y estudiar los factores que inciden en la infracción de los derechos de propiedad intelectual por parte de hombres y mujeres en Internet. El objetivo es adquirir el conocimiento relevante capaz de informar la política legislativa a nivel de derecho público y privado. Para ello se parte de la hipótesis de que el cumplimiento de las normas está íntimamente relacionado con las intuiciones de justicia de la comunidad y de que el alto número de infractores de estos derechos en Internet no se distribuye de igual forma según el tipo de conducta y el género. A partir de aquí se pretende detectar hasta qué punto las percepciones sociales e individuales de la protección de los derechos de autor, así como del incremento de la probabilidad de que llegue a ser impuesta y ejecutada una sanción (derivado de un cambio en la práctica sancionatoria civil) incidiría en el efectivo respeto a tales derechos.
La reforma del Derecho Concursal portugués por exigencia de La Troika (I)
Authors: Velasco Fabra Guillermo
Published: November 2023

El Código de Insolvencia y de Recupera-ción de Empresas de Portugal (en adelante, CIRE - Decreto-Ley 53/2004, de 18 de marzo) entró en vigor el 15 de septiembre de 2004 (la Ley Concur-sal española entró en vigor el 1 de septiembre del mismo año). El Derecho Concursal portugués se inspiró en la InsolvenzOrdnung alemana. La refor-ma más importante se produce con la Ley 16/2012, de 20 de abril, que es consecuencia del Memoran-do celebrado entre Portugal y el Banco Central Eu-ropeo (BCE), la Comisión Europea (CE) y el Fondo Monetario Internacional (FMI) en 2011, que pre-veía expresamente la reforma del Derecho Con-cursal portugués. Por tanto, la modernización del Derecho Concursal ha sido una exigencia de la Troika, y hay que valorar positivamente el esfuerzo que ha realizado el legislador portugués para adaptar el sistema concursal a los cambios exigidos.

La cobertura de los daños ocasionados por vehículos desconocidos, sin seguro o robados
Authors: Ugena Muñoz Sara
Published: November 2023

El seguro obligatorio de automóviles surgió en España a raíz de la entrada en vigor de la Ley 122/1962, de 24 de diciembre, de uso y circulación de vehículos a motor. La finalidad de su creación fue que las víctimas por hechos del tráfico fuesen debidamente asistidas e indemnizadas. Desde entonces, los conductores de vehículos a motor que con motivo de su tránsito ocasionen un daño a las personas o las cosas quedan obligados a reparar el mal causado, corriendo la cobertura por cuenta del asegurador del vehículo culpable. Con todo, la responsabilidad civil de estos conductores no siempre quedaba resarcida, piénsese por ejemplo en los casos en que el vehículo o el conductor causante fueran desconocidos, o en aquellos otros en que pese a ser conocidos, el vehículo no se encontraba asegurado. De ahí que, para solventar estas posibles fisuras, el artículo 45 de la referida Ley 122/1962 creara en el Ministerio de Hacienda, y como servicio dependiente de la Dirección General de Seguros, el Fondo Nacional de Garantía de Riesgos de la Circulación, que fue organizado por el Decreto-ley 18/1964, de 3 de octubre y finalmente absorbido en 1982 por el Consorcio de Compensación de Seguros (CCS) en virtud de lo dispuesto por el Real Decreto 2878/1981, de 13 de noviembre.
Cuestiones prácticas de la sección de calificación del concurso desde la perspectiva de la última jurisprudencia del Tribunal Supremo
Authors: Ana Armijo Pliego Ana
Published: November 2023

La sección de calificación del concurso de acreedores plantea numerosas cuestiones prácticas que, en mayor o menor medida, venían siendo controvertidas para los Juzgados y Audiencias, si bien, el Tribunal Supremo –en sus últimas resoluciones- está centrando estas cuestiones y definiendo con mayor claridad los límites de la sección de calificación. Esta casuística abarca diferentes ámbitos como son –entre otros- los motivos que deben concurrir para declarar un concurso culpable, las personas a las que puede afectar el pronunciamiento relativo a la culpabilidad del concurso y, en su caso, las sanciones que se derivarían de dichas actuaciones.
El deber del administrador de evitar situaciones de conflicto de interés: la prohibición de competencia.
Authors: Montull Urquijo Jorge
Published: November 2023

El conflicto de interés en una sociedad mercantil puede afectar tanto a un socio de la misma como a un administrador. Las regulaciones de ambos conflictos, recogidas en el Texto Refundido de la Ley de Sociedades de Capital (TRLSC), son diferentes en cuanto derivan respectivamente de la distinta posición que tiene el socio o el administrador respecto de la sociedad, estando regida la de éste último por la necesaria subordinación de su interés particular al interés social, circunstancia que no concurre en el socio, que puede buscar su interés personal dentro del contrato de sociedad siempre que no perjudique el interés del resto de socios.

A natural generalization of the Turing computability model
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Shalack Vladimir I.
Published: November 2023

The Turing computability model is a model of algorithmic symbolic transformations that can be performed by humans. The Church-Turing thesis is a statement about the completeness of their formalisms with respect to this model. Algorithmic transformations are applicable not only to symbols, but also to physical objects. Some of these transformations can be analyzed by means of Turing formalism by way of special character encoding. At the same time, there are physical algorithms that go far beyond the standard Turing model. Examples are recipes, medical procedures, technological processes, etc. Their common feature is not only the operation of physical objects, but also the appeal to external physical processes. The general definition of an algorithm, as prescriptions for a sequence of actions to obtain the desired result, is satisfied by well-known phenomena of goal-directed behavior. Symbolic calculations are a special case of goal-directed behavior. Models of combined temporal and dynamic logic can be used to analyze goal-directed behavior. Such an analysis allows us to conclude that there are at least three types of elementary rules underlying complex purposeful behavior: 1) passively-processual – "If there is a process P , then do nothing, but wait for it to lead you to the desired goal G "; 2) constructive – "If there is a C , perform action d , the immediate result of which is the desired goal G "; 3) constructively-processual – "If C takes place, perform action d so that its immediate result R initiates process P , which will lead to the desired goal G ". The combined logic allows you to determine the conditions for the correctness of these rules. Constructively-processual rules have the property of universality, since two other types of rules are reduced to them. In the paper we define a T-machine (teleological machine) that implements complex goal-directed behavior, and conduct a comparative analysis with Turing machines. It is shown that within the framework of the new algorithmic model there are functions that are computable in it, but not computable in Turing model. In the new model, algorithms have the status of laws of living nature related to the emergence of life and evolution. The algorithmic model of goal-directed behavior can be naturally applied to describe and analyze many phenomena of the social sphere.
Investigation of the Effects of Sea, Drinking, Mineral and Fountain Water on Microstrip Patch Antenna
Authors: Duman Mehmet
Published: November 2023

Antennas are exposed to various environmental conditions while transmitting or receiving signals in the form of electromagnetic waves. Although they are intended to work outdoors or in areas that will not cause signal attenuation, they cannot always find such an environment. Water puddles in front of the antenna’s radiation pattern due to rain or other reasons cause wave attenuation.
