Homo Mimeticus. Eine neue Theorie der Imitation
Authors: Lawtoo Nidesh
Published: June 2024

Eine Genealogie eines der ältesten und einflussreichsten Konzepte des westlichen Denkens: Mimesis Die Nachahmung ist, vielleicht mehr denn je, konstitutiv für die menschliche Originalität. Vieles hat sich seit der Entstehung der ursprünglichen Spezies Homo sapiens verändert, aber auch im digitalen Zeitalter bleibt der Mensch ein mimetisches Wesen: Von der Entwicklung des Bewusstseins bis zur Bildung, von der Ästhetik bis zur Politik, von den Spiegelneuronen bis zur Plastizität des Gehirns, von digitalen Simulationen bis zur emotionalen Ansteckung, von (neuen) faschistischen Aufständen bis zur viralen Ansteckung werden wir unbewusst geformt, deformiert und durch die allzu menschliche Neigung zur Nachahmung verändert – im Guten wie im Schlechten. Über so unterschiedliche Disziplinen wie Philosophie, Ästhetik und Politik hinweg schlägt der Band Homo Mimeticus eine neue Theorie eines der einflussreichsten Konzepte des westlichen Denkens (Mimesis) vor, um einige der hyper-mimetischen Herausforderungen der Gegenwart und Zukunft zu bewältigen. Nidesh Lawtoo ist Professor für Moderne und Zeitgenössische Europäische Literatur und Kultur an der Universität Leiden, Niederlande.

Authors: Hernández Jaimes Belem Gabriela , Guerrero Sánchez Pablo , Gómez Peralta Héctor , Ramírez González Karen
Published: June 2024

Actualmente, en las organizaciones es de mayor interés crear en los empleados una satisfacción al realizar su trabajo. En este contexto, la satisfacción se considera un detonador para que un colaborador brinde un rendimiento laboral adecuado. Específicamente, en el sector bancario, estas dimensiones no han sido tan estudiadas para conocer de cerca lo que influyen en ellos. El propósito de esta investigación es identificar si la satisfacción laboral influye en el rendimiento laboral de un grupo de empleados del sector bancario del estado de Morelos en México durante el primer semestre del 2023. Se utilizaron los instrumentos de Warr, Cook y Wall (1979) y de Koopmans et al, (2013); asimismo, se llevó a cabo un estudio correlacional con 208 participantes. Los resultados indican una relación positiva moderada (r=0.415), demostrando que la satisfacción laboral influye significativamente en el rendimiento. Además, se identificaron diferencias significativas en empleados mayores de 51 años, quienes mostraron niveles superiores de satisfacción y rendimiento laboral en comparación con otros grupos.

Authors: Remaycuna-Vasquez Alberto , Atoche-Silva Luz Angélica , Carrión-Barco Gilberto , Niño-Tezén Angélica Lourdes
Published: June 2024

Uno de los Objetivos del Desarrollo Sostenibles de la agenda para el 2030 de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas, es el bienestar psicológico expresado en la felicidad. Por lo tanto, esta investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar la relación entre la inteligencia espiritual y la felicidad en estudiantes de universidades privadas del Perú. Fue una investigación no experimental, descriptiva, correlacional; la muestra estuvo constituida por 600 estudiantes universitarios del norte del Perú, quienes respondieron a dos cuestionarios: escala de inteligencia emocional y cuestionarios de felicidad. El 34.5 % necesita mejorar su inteligencia espiritual, mientras que el 35.5 % presenta bajos niveles de felicidad. Se encontró que existe una relación entre la inteligencia espiritual y la felicidad (p = 0.000). No existen diferencias significativas entre inteligencia espiritual y felicidad en función del sexo, pero sí en cuanto a la edad, los estudiantes mayores de 25 años son los que desarrollan una mejor capacidad de inteligencia espiritual. Se destaca la importancia de que las universidades, a través del área de bienestar universitario y tutorías, planifiquen y desarrollen programas, charlas, talleres orientados a fortalecer la inteligencia espiritual a fin de encontrar un mejor bienestar psicológico reflejado en una mayor felicidad.
‘Boys, too, can be objects of desire’: Psychic and Erotic Domination in Eliza Clark’s Boy Parts (2020)
Authors: Haro Fernández Rosa
Published: June 2024

The present paper aims to analyze the psychic nature of the female protagonist in Eliza Clark’s Boy Parts (2020), as well as her relationships with other characters. For this purpose, I will use psychoanalyst Jessica Benjamin’s theory of intersubjectivity. Benjamin’s intersubjectivity “reorients the conception of the psychic world form a subject’s relations to its object toward a subject meeting another subject”. For my analysis, I will focus on concepts such as recognition, a process of identification with the other, and destruction, a process which allows the individual to go beyond identification with the other and, consequently, to perceive them as a separate self. In Eliza Clark’s Boy Parts, Irina is a photographer who specializes in takes explicit pictures of “interesting”-looking men. The offer of an exhibition at a gallery in London triggers a tailspin of self-destructive behavior partly centered around Irina’s relationship with her best friend, Flo. The analysis of Irina’s psyche and her bonds with Flo and other characters will lead us to conclude that the aforementioned theories provide us with an enriching ground for uncovering the intricacies and what lies at the core of Irina’s psychic nature.
¿Es posible una teoría ontológico-política? Reflexiones en torno a Poderes de la abyección de Ricardo Laleff Ilieff
Authors: Palti Elías
Published: June 2024

El presente ensayo es una reflexión a partir del libro de Laleff Ilieff acerca de la apelación a categorías provenientes de la teoría psicoanalítica, en particular, la de Jacques Lacan, para la teoría política. Según intenta mostrarse aquí, categorías como la del “abyecto” o lo “Real” se han revelado especialmente productivas dado que permiten alumbrar algunas de las cuestiones claves en torno de las cuales se ha debatido en los últimos años en el campo de la teoría política y, en particular, abordar el análisis de la dimensión ontológica de la política. En su transcurso, sin embargo, habrán de revelársenos las limitaciones inherentes a toda teorización al respecto.
Beyond Algorithmic Disclosure for Generative AI
Authors: Yoo Christopher
Published: June 2024

One of the most commonly recommended policy interventions with respect to algorithms in general and artificial intelligence (“AI”) systems in particular is the need for greater transparency, often focusing on the disclosure of the variables employed by the algorithm and the weights given to those variables. This Essay argues that any meaningful transparency regime must provide information on other critical dimensions as well. For example, any transparency regime must also include key information about the data on which the algorithm was trained, including its source, scope, quality, and inner correlations, subject to constraints imposed by copyright, privacy, and cybersecurity law. Disclosures about pre-release testing also play a critical role in understanding an AI system’s robustness and its susceptibility to specification gaming. Finally, the fact that AI, like all complex systems, tends to exhibit emergent phenomena, such as proxy discrimination, interactions among multiple agents, the impact of adverse environments, and the well-known tendency of generative AI to hallucinate, makes ongoing post-release evaluation a critical component of any system of AI transparency.
Understanding the Dynamics of the Fiscal Landscape Through Institutional Lenses: A Case Study of South Asia
Authors: Shabeer Muhammad Ghulam , Ayyubi Muhammad Salahuddin , Usman Wajid , Khan Assad Ullah
Published: June 2024

Tax revenue is crucial for governments to finance essential expenditures, social welfare programs, and infrastructure development, which are vital for economic advancement and social well-being. A high tax-to-GDP ratio indicates a strong fiscal position and substantial revenue, which are fundamental for maintaining financial stability and ensuring long-term sustainability. Every country aims to enhance its revenues through various reforms. This study conducted a comprehensive analysis of tax reforms in selected South Asian economies from 2002 to 2022, focusing on their influence on the tax-to-GDP ratio. The outcomes of the Breusch-Pagan and Hausman tests suggest that the Random Effects Model (REM) is suitable for this estimation. Findings of the REM reveal significant and positive associations between government effectiveness, law and order, political stability, and tax-to-GDP share, as one percent rise in the respective variables leads to 3.3%, 1.5%, and 2.02% per one percent improvement in the tax-to-GDP share. The Dumitrescu-Hurlin Panel Causality Tests find no homogeneous causality among related variables. Recommendations include prioritizing government effectiveness, improving the law-and-order situation, maintaining political stability, and enhancing GDP growth to boost tax revenues. Future research will focus on optimizing fiscal policies and revenue mobilization strategies in the region.
Limited Şirketlerde İki Kişilik Müdürler Kurulunda Müdürlerden Birisinin Müdürlük Sıfatının Sona Ermesinin Sonuçları
Authors: Çelik Aytekin
Published: June 2024

Limited şirketlerde yönetim ve temsil yetkisi tek bir müdüre bırakılabileceği gibi bu konuda birden fazla müdür de yetkilendirilebilir. Limited şirketlerde tek bir müdürün belirlendiği durumlarda söz konusu kişinin tek başına bu yetkileri kullanması gerekir. Buna karşılık birden fazla kişinin müdür olarak belirlendiği durumlarda bu yetkilerin kurul olarak kullanılması gerekir. Ancak iki kişinin müdür olarak belirlendiği durumlarda müdür sayısının müdürlerden birisinin görevinin ölüm, istifa vb. bir sebeple sona ermesi nedeniyle fiilen tek kişiye düşmesi mümkündür. Müdür olarak tek bir kişinin görevlendirilmesiyle daha sonradan müdür sayısının fiilen bire düşmesinin sonuçları birbirinden farklıdır. İlk durumda şirket sözleşmesi ve genel kurul tarafından bu konuda ortaya konulan irade, yönetim ve temsil yetkisinin tek bir müdür tarafından kullanılması yönündedir. İkinci durumda ise yönetim ve temsil yetkisinin kurul olarak kullanılması yönünde bir irade ortaya konulmaktadır. Yönetim ve temsil yetkisinin kurul olarak kullanılması, yetkili kişilerce toplantıya çağrının yapılması ve kanunda öngörülen şekilde karar alınmasını gerektirir. Dolayısıyla bu durumda müdürlerin birbirlerinden bağımsız olarak hareket edebilmesi mümkün değildir. Ancak müdürler kurulunun fiilen tek kişiye düştüğü durumlarda yönetim ve temsil yetkisinin bu kişi tarafından kullanılabileceğine ilişkin yargı kararlarına ve ticaret sicili uygulamalarına rastlanmaktadır. Bu durumun limited şirketin yönetim ve temsiline ilişkin yasal düzenlemeler ve bu konuda şirket sözleşmesi ve genel kurul tarafından ortaya konulan irade çerçevesinde tartışılması gerekmektedir.

Published: June 2024

Abstract: The implementation of piety is a form of faith to improve the characteristics of people who are devout in life. According to the Qur'an, taqwa is a person's personality towards Allah and this piety makes him submit and obey religious teachings by carrying out all commands and avoiding all prohibitions of Allah SWT. The aim of this research is to find out how to achieve devotion based on the perspective of Hamka's interpretation of Al-Azhar. The research uses qualitative methods with the type of library research with the Al-Azhar book as the main source, reinforced with secondary sources such as books, scientific works and related journals. The results of this research conclude that according to Buya Hamka, taqwa is not only limited to protecting oneself from the punishment of Allah SWT, but has a broader meaning, namely the spirit of worship, increasing pious deeds to be closer to Allah and spreading love and caring for fellow humans. In its implementation, piety is divided into 2 aspects, namely habluminallah and hablumminnas, namely maintaining a relationship with Allah, a devout servant must always carry out His commands and avoid His prohibitions and in maintaining relationships with other humans, a devout servant will spread a sense of compassion and affection. caring for others.

Studi mengenai fenomena sosial bernama gentrifikasi di Kabupaten Banyumas belum banyak dilakukan. Sedangkan, pada kenyataannya fenomena gentrifikasi semakin banyak ditemukan di ibukota Kabupaten Banyumas, Purwokerto sejak tahun 2013 melalui wacana desa wisata dan pembangunan fisik besar-besaran di wilayah utara daerah tersebut. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan mengenai fenomena gentrifikasi beserta efek buruknya bagi wilayah yang mengalami fenomena tersebut. Metode yang digunakan dalam artikel ini adalah kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Sumber data berupa hasil wawancara dengan 2 pengurus Rukun Tetangga (RT) kelurahan Pabuwaran, 4 tempat makan yang berdiri di wilayah utara kelurahan Pabuwaran yang merupakan bagian dari wilayah administratif kecamatan Purwokerto Utara dan 10 informan warga kelurahan Pabuwaran yang bekerja serabutan pada masing-masing tempat makan tersebut. Data dikumpulkan mulai bulan Januari sampai Maret 2024 dan diolah serta ditranskrip mulai bulan April hingga Mei 2024. Hasil dari artikel ini adalah ditemukannya bentuk gentrifikasi di kelurahan Pabuwaran dalam bentuk pelepasan lahan pertanian aktif. Pelepasan lahan pertanian aktif tersebut dialihgunakan menjadi tempat makan milik perorangan. Pengalihgunaan tersebut kemudian mendorong munculnya ketimpangan sosial akibat gentrifikasi. Ketimpangan sosial tersebut hadir dalam bentuk pembangunan fisik yang mengedepankan paham developmentalisme, perebutan ruang dalam bentuk asumsi identitas ruang yang lekat dengan satu kelas sosial tertentu, dan ketidakmerataan ketersediaan lapangan pekerjaan dalam bentuk pemisahan antara lapangan pekerjaan untuk tenaga terlatih dan tenaga serabutan.

Review of minimally disruptive in vitro fertilization (IVF) approaches as a strategy for assisted human conception
Authors: Kim Clifford A. , Aguilar Joanna Marie H. , Hidalgo Laura , Katz Emily
Published: June 2024

As a type of assisted reproductive technology (ART), in vitro fertilization (IVF) has been available for more than 4 decades, with the first successful birth using conventional IVF (C-IVF) occurring in 1978. C-IVF has become increasingly available and accessible over the years and is currently a widely used alternative treatment option for prospective parents experiencing infertility. In addition, science and technological advancements have given rise to other IVF techniques that allow families to choose the ART that best fits their personal and unique needs. Among the other IVF techniques, natural cycle IVF, mild stimulation IVF, and in vitro maturation are notable for being less disruptive to the female body and are referred to as minimally disruptive ARTs (MDARTs). However, deciding which MDART to choose is a complex and daunting task that precedes an already emotionally, financially, and physically taxing process. This review explores these modern ART strategies, including protocols, advantages, and limitations, as well as provides the MDART decision matrix that translates these considerations into a practical decision-making guide for patients seeking IVF.

Authors: Prayogo Darul
Published: June 2024

This research addresses the suboptimal learning outcomes observed in the Politeknik Ilmu Pelayaran Semarang technical drawing course, focusing on the interplay of lecturer performance, student engagement, and curriculum design. The primary objective is to enhance learning outcomes for Level I Cadets during the 2023 academic year. The study encompasses 103 Level I Cadets enrolled in the Engineering Study Program, utilizing a total sampling technique. Data collection involves a questionnaire to assess the Engineering drawing course's effectiveness. The analytical approach employs percentage descriptive techniques and regression methods, including partial and simultaneous tests, subject to meeting prerequisite test requirements such as normality, heteroscedasticity, linearity, and multicollinearity. Results indicate that lecturer and student factors and environmental elements significantly influence learning outcomes in technical drawing. However, curriculum factors do not exhibit a notable impact on learning outcomes. Collectively, lecturer performance, student engagement, curriculum design, and environmental factors jointly contribute to learning outcomes by 39\%, with the remaining 61\% influenced by unexplored variables such as cost, organizational climate, socio-culture, and education management. In conclusion, this study establishes a link between lecturer performance, student engagement, and the environment with learning outcomes in technical drawing courses. Conversely, curriculum factors show no significant influence. Recommendations include optimizing the roles of lecturers and students and enhancing the educational environment to foster a conducive learning atmosphere within the dormitory setting.
Problematizações das Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais de 2014 para a Graduação em Medicina a partir de uma análise foucaultiana
Authors: Vieira Lucas , Sanches Leide da Conceição
Published: June 2024

Este estudo propõe uma análise crítica das Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais (DCN) para o Curso de Graduação em Medicina no Brasil, utilizando a teoria foucaultiana como ferramenta analítica. Busca-se entender como as DCN, enquanto dispositivo de poder, influenciam na formação do conhecimento médico, na construção das identidades profissionais e nas práticas de cuidado em saúde. Para tanto, este trabalho adota uma abordagem arqueogenealógicafoucaultiana como procedimento metodológico. A análise problematiza os modos pelos quais as DCN operam não apenas como um guia para a formação acadêmica, mas também como um mecanismo que molda o saber, o poder e a subjetividade no campo da medicina, promovendo um tipo específico de médico alinhado às expectativas contemporâneas de cuidado integral, humanizado e ético. Este trabalho destaca a importância de um engajamento crítico com as diretrizes, visando uma formação médica que transcenda a adesão acrítica às normas prescritas e fomente a capacidade reflexiva e adaptativa diante das complexidades da saúde.

Authors: Merkus Suzanne L , Hoff Rune , Hasting Rachel L , Undem Karina , Robroek Suzan JW , Gran Jon Michael , Mehlum Ingrid Sivesind
Published: June 2024

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to quantify the duration of work participation and reasons for working years lost, according to gender and educational attainment, among a Norwegian population.

METHODS: Register data on labor market attachment between 2000–2015 were obtained from Statistics Norway. We included five cohorts: individuals turning 20 (N=323 333), 30 (N=386 006), 40 (N=388 962), 50 (N=358 745), and 60 years (N=284 425) between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2005. Individuals were followed for ten years. Data completeness allowed calculation of the average time spent in work and years lost to health-related absences and non-employment states per cohort. Changes in state probabilities over time were also depicted. Mean differences between genders and educational levels, and corresponding 95% confidence intervals were based on 1000 bootstrap samples.

RESULTS: Both genders spent most time in work; however, per cohort, women worked approximately one year less than men. As cohorts aged, main reasons for working years lost changed from education and economic inactivity to sickness absence and disability pensioning; this trend was stronger for women than men. Individuals with a low education spent fewer years in work and more years in sickness absence and disability pensioning than highly educated peers. This difference tended to be larger for women and older cohorts.

CONCLUSIONS: Per cohort, women participated one year less in work than men and, depending on age, spent more time in education, economic inactivity, sickness absence, and disability pensioning. Stronger educational gradients were seen for work and health-related absences for older cohorts and women.
Computer Simulation of Rural Landscape Design Based on Remote Sensing Image Technology
Authors: Kun Xing
Published: June 2024

Introduction: The field of rural landscape design deals with the design and recovery of rural areas and landscape in a way that it can support natural biodiversity in addition to human needs in sustainable ways as well as maintaining its cultural character. It employs the use of plants, landforms and some water without interference with the environment in order to come up with useful and beautiful spaces. Recognizing the importance of preserving the environment while at the same time investing in developmental projects, it is centralized and focuses on the entire eco-system with the aim of enhancing the lives of the people.
Aim: This study aims to develop theoretical aspect of an innovative computer simulation model for designing rural landscapes by applying the technology of remote sensing image.
Research methodology: We suggest a new Starling Murmuration search-driven Adaptive YOLOv7 algorithm to identify and categorize several rural buildings and setting types. For the image data, we collected abundant data from several environments using UAV devices to train our proposed model. It is not surprising that our proposed model combined the use of three dimensional (3D) geographic information system (GIS) virtual imaging design model in the simulation of the rural landscape designs. Our recommended model is then extended using SM optimization to improve object detection with YOLOv7. By repeated adjustments of the network parameters in a somewhat similar fashion like flocking, we managed to enhance both accuracy and efficiency. This framework exploits crowdsourcing for delimiting rural buildings and landscapes with high-fidelity.
Findings and Conclusion: We implemented our recommended model in Python software. During the phase of evaluation, we evaluate the efficacy of our recommended SM-AYOLOv7 model across a variety of parameters such as precision (91.72%), recall (92.34%), Intersection over Union (IoU) (90.23%), and f1 score (93.64%). Our experimental results precisely indicate that our approach outperforms traditional approaches. We demonstrate significant increases in accuracy and adaptability, especially when adjusting to dynamic configurations.
Developing an Optimal Model for Water Distribution System Design
Authors: Edwin N. Pagayona
Published: June 2024

Future difficulties related to water utilization in sustainable cities will be influenced by factors such as urban development, climate change, and resource scarcity. Distribution accounts for 80–85% of the entire cost of a water supply system, making it a crucial part of all urban water systems. To increase system reliability, water distribution systems (WDS) are typically designed with the "worst scenario" or "robustness" in mind. Because deterministic assumptions are historically incorrect, a new design methodology that acknowledges uncertainty and provides greater flexibility is needed. To design WDS that are more adaptive, a Genetic Algorithm Flexibility Optimization (GAFO) model is created in Visual C++ and connected to EPANET. In contrast to classical GA optimization, GAFO uses a dynamic decision-making method to maximize a WDS's versatility at the lowest possible cost while taking into account a variety of potential future scenarios. The result is a WDS that may develop a staged implementation strategy that enables a gradual evolution of the WDS over time and follows various future trajectories (changing conditions). The convergence and flexibility of the GAFO model were determined to be good after it was tested on several fictitious scenarios. In comparison to traditional, non-flexible designs, cost reductions of 35% to 72% were achieved.

Authors: Özdamar Yasemin , Demir Mehmet Cihat , Ağaçkıran İlter , Metin Aksu Nalan
Published: June 2024

Objective: Emergency department (ED) blood product requests are rising, but it is unclear if they are excessive. We aimed to examine the blood product requests and usage rates made by emergency physicians to determine whether the requests for blood products are excessive.
Material and Method: This prospective, observational, and single-center study analyzed demographic data indications for blood transfusion, and transfusion rates of patients aged 18 years and older admitted to a tertiary adult emergency department in five months.
Results: One thousand four hundred seventy-five blood product requests (with a mean of 6.92 units per patient) were examined. Of 63.1%, these requests were not used. The transfusion rates were 40.89 % for erythrocyte suspension, 25.61% for thrombocyte suspension, and 44.34% for fresh frozen plasma. The main indications for requesting blood products were gastrointestinal bleeding and anemia. Specifically, 30.04% of erythrocyte suspensions, 31.9% of thrombocyte suspensions, and 60.56% of fresh frozen plasma were used for patients with gastrointestinal bleeding. In trauma patients, 12.75% of requested erythrocyte suspensions, 0.083% of thrombocyte suspensions, and 13.89% of fresh frozen plasma were utilized.
Conclusion: Excessive requests for blood products in the emergency department can misuse resources. The transfusion committee should develop specialized strategies and increase physician awareness to reduce unnecessary requests and optimize resource utilization.

Epithelial specific splicing regulator proteins as emerging oncogenes in aggressive prostate cancer
Authors: Elliott D.
Published: June 2024

Prostate cancer progression is connected to the activity of conventional oncogenes and tumour suppressors and driven by circulating steroid hormones. A key issue has been how to identify and care for aggressively developing prostate tumours. Here we discuss how expression of the splicing regulators ESRP1 and ESRP2, and how their role as "masterminds" of epithelial splicing patterns, have been identified as markers of aggressively proliferating prostate primary tumours. We suggest that the origin of prostate cancer within epithelial cells, and the subsequent association of ESRP1 and ESRP2 expression with more aggressive disease progression, identify ESRP1 and ESRP2 as lineage survival oncogenes. To move this field on in the future it will be important to identify the gene expression targets controlled by ESRP1/2 that regulate prostate cancer proliferation. Potential future therapies could be designed to target ESRP1 and ESRP2 protein activity or their regulated splice isoforms in aggressive prostate tumours. Design of these therapies is potentially complicated by the risk of producing a more mesenchymal splicing environment that might promote tumour metastasis.

The fixed spectrum assignment policy in the space sector and large constellations of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites left little or no spectrum available for future LEO satellite communications services. Cognitive Radio (CR) technology enables spectrum sharing between primary and secondary users without limiting the transmission power, and thus is of great interest to commercial and defense entities. A number of Radio Environment Map (REM) techniques have been making Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) practical by constructing a comprehensive map of the CRN by utilizing multi-domain information from geolocation databases, characteristics of spectrum use, geographical terrain models, propagation environment, and regulations. In this paper, we investigate spectrum sharing for a network comprised of a Geostationary Orbit (GEO) and a LEO satellite with a multibeam antenna array. A CRN architecture of GEO and LEO satellites shared downlink spectrum is proposed and details are provided covering its architecture, REM structure and channel utilization data aggregation, as well as a frequency slot assignment mechanism.
Two-ray channel models with doppler effects for LEO satellite communications

In this paper we present some two-ray models with Doppler effects for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite links. We show that satellite motion-caused Doppler shifts are different along the two rays, resulting in a time-varying phase shift. This is quantified with a few Doppler models and approximations. The combined interference effects, along with the path length difference caused phase shift, are calculated using a generic LEO pass-over. Channel gains are computed and compared using various antenna patterns and system parameters. The models show good agreements except for very low elevation angles. They demonstrate that a tracking antenna is effective in reducing fading for moderate to high elevation angles. Fixed patch antennas perform well. Omnidirectional and dipole antennas perform poorly. Higher carrier frequency and higher antenna height lead to faster fades. The fading becomes deeper at low elevation angles. Very fast fading is observed near the ends of a pass-over.

In recent years, Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTNs) have gained increased attention from the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) due to their potential to enhance cellular networks by improving coverage, resiliency, and reliability, especially in rural areas and disaster scenarios. The upcoming Sixth-Generation (6G) cellular networks aim to establish layers of cells at different altitudes with Base Stations (BSs) on Earth and in space, providing a seamless user experience. Testing and experimentation are crucial for realizing this ambitious vision. University of the Bundeswehr Munich (UniBw M) is deploying a Beyond 5G (B5G) and 6G testbed comprising both space and ground segments. The space segment of the testbed is composed of the ATHENE-1 satellite that is going to be launched in 2025. The ground segment includes the satellite ground station with several full motion antennas for the radiofrequency links and an optical ground station for the free-space optical link based on laser technology, while the Terrestrial Network (TN) component is deployed using a Fifth-Generation (5G) Non-Public Network (NPN) with multiple gNodeBs (gNBs) and multiple 5G core solutions. In its current state, the testbed includes various measurement equipment and emulators in the 5G Lab, a Gnb with two active cells, a core network, a satellite ground station, and a mobile 5G on-the-move solution. This testbed allows various experiments including interference management between existing networks, positioning and localization, Public Protection and Disaster Recovery (PPDR) using Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) and NTN. This paper describes the components of the Seamless Radio Access Networks for Internet of Space (SeRANIS) B5G testbed, the current status, future deployment plan, preliminary test results, and planned tests.

Financial problems often come unexpectedly. Applying adequate financial management is the primary key to facing future financial challenges. Therefore, sufficient knowledge is needed to build proper habits for managing money. Community service activities provided to TK Petra 9 Surabaya students involved three kindergarten classes, each consisting of 22 to 23 students. This program aims to introduce proper money management habits early on as a preparation for a stable future financial condition. In its implementation, the method used is service learning, which can directly cultivate awareness of problem-solving. The application of this method included watching puppet shows, coloring pictures of professions, ice-breaking, and making piggy banks. Puppet show activities positively influence students' character development, while coloring and making piggy banks help sharpen children's motor skills. Therefore, community service activity has been proven to have a constructive impact on the early childhood development of good habits.
居住正式化：從青洲地區發展探討葡殖時期澳門之都市及住宅政策實踐

木屋棚寮問題貫穿澳門二十世紀的都市發展，其與澳門現代都市計劃的實踐、土地管理制度的改革、公共住宅制度的建立息息相關。其中位於澳門舊城區外西北偶的青洲地區，從非正式聚落到合法的木屋區，再變為經濟房屋預定地，更是反映殖民初期界務問題的政治角力、二戰前後的地區人口及產業結構變遷，以及葡萄牙對殖民地治理的態度轉向。青洲地區的木屋問題為非常處境下產生的例外狀態，既為澳葡政府都市發展計劃失序的外顯表象，亦是基層民眾應對都市生活實相的策略。而澳葡政府的殖民角色，以及木屋對澳門華人社群的緊密關聯，更是使木屋治理兼具都市空間治理與華人社群治理兩面向。本文以都市的非正式性作為解析都市發展議題的認識論，透過梳理青洲地區的發展史及與其相關木屋處理政策，揭示澳門都市化過程中的議題視域與焦點的調和，以及政策實踐的時空調配策略。期間，木屋問題朝向住宅問題轉型，而華人社群在與澳葡政府談判的過程中向上調整其議題視域，並推動澳葡政府向下調整其政策措施，使之更貼近都市生活實相。

 

Shanties have been a prominent issue in Macau’s urban development throughout the 20th century, closely related to modern urban planning, land management reforms, and the establishment of public housing. The Ilha Verde Area, located northwest of Macau’s old-town area, has transitioned from a Macau-Chinese informal settlement to an authorized shanty district and eventually became an affordable housing zone. This transformation reflects how the Portuguese colonial government struggles over urban spatial management and ethnic governance. This article employs the lens of informality to review Macau’s urbanization during the colonial era, focusing on the formalization of Ilha Verde Area’s shanties settlement, as well as its role in Macau’s overall shanties issue. First, it identified the dilemma of the shanties, pointing out that it was both a deviant of colonial Macau’s urban development scheme and a practical response to the unstable urban living realities during wartime. Then, it reveals the adjustment of issue scope and spatial-temporal coordination strategies during the formalization of shanties. As the process unfolded, Macau transitioned from a Portuguese colony to a territory temporarily under Portuguese governance, prompting a shift from addressing shanties to broader housing issues. Also, the Macau-Chinese community has adjusted its issue scope from personal living issues to overall housing issues which encourages policy adjustments that better reflect the urban living realities.

 
“Does anyone know how people die in sewers?” Comics, Caste, and Manual Scavenging in Samarth’s Suit
Authors: Muruganandan Nandhitha , Venkatesan Sathyaraj

Manual scavenging is the practice of physically cleaning toilets, sewers, and public drains. Though illegal in India, hundreds of manual scavengers are still employed, most of whom belong to the Scheduled Castes. Comics, principally anti-caste alternative publications, invite conversations on the complex web of caste and manual scavenging. Historically, Indian graphic biographies have dominated the graphic discourse on caste in India, whereas Samarth shifts the focus of graphic narratives toward the plausible manifestations of caste soon through Suit. In particular, he imagines intergenerational negotiations with caste, the socio-political agendas vis-à-vis caste in the future, and the perpetual existence of caste-based discrimination in manual scavenging. Further, Suit’s realistic art style elicits critical and affective responses from its readers toward the pitiable conditions of manual scavengers. It provides both critical distance and an opportunity for “conscientisation” (Freire 1970) about manual scavenging to its readers. Put boldly, Suit poses a significant question through its visual expansion of caste-based discrimination: What is caste today and how will it be in the future for a technologically equipped suitwala?

The world is competitive in every possible way, especially in the education sector, so university students tend to seek success in their academic field and try to get attention within their social circle often at any cost or effort. This leads to the presence of narcissistic personalities among the university population, stemming from underlying low self-esteem and contributing to aggression. This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of narcissism in the relationship between self-esteem and aggression among university students in Sagaing. The sample comprised 1058 undergraduate students with 519 females and 539 males from undergraduate classes. Rosenberg (1965)’s self-esteem scale, the Narcissistic Personality Inventory by Raskin and Terry (1988) and the aggression questionnaire by Buss and Warren (2000) were used as the data gathering instruments. The findings revealed that self-esteem exhibits both a direct negative effect on aggression and an indirect positive effect mediated by narcissism. Interestingly, while high self-esteem typically acts as a deterrent to aggression, its mediation by narcissism can increase aggressive tendencies. This suggests a suppressor effect, termed competitive mediation, where the positive relationship between self-esteem and aggression is reversed when narcissism serves as a suppressor variable. As this suppressor effect is enticing for the researchers, further studies should explore the moderating factors in the relationship between self-esteem, narcissism and aggression. The study’s findings are expected to provide the foundational insights for the education policy makers to develop prevention programs for narcissism and aggression, promote professional development of educators, integrate curriculum components that address self-esteem, and implement counselling programs in educational settings.
