The efficiency of railway transport is directly related to the renewal of infrastructure, including communication devices responsible for ensuring a safe transportation process. For reliable operation of the railway complex, it is necessary to introduce the latest developments in the field of network technologies. To achieve such a goal, the relevant processes of train traffic systems should be automated. However, this is possible when working in the railway complex of specialists of the highest level of qualifications, the practical and professional skills of which are acquired in higher educational institutions. Therefore, the work considers such aspects as the need for the latest developments based on network technologies, the need for specialists in the field of packet switching, as well as the peculiarities of educating students as specialists in the field of telecommunications.
Different meanings of "constitutional change" and the Sendero Luminoso's "reformist" pretension
Authors: Sumar Oscar , Modesto Ortiz Jesus Adolfo
Published: April 2023

Objective: This paper aims to unravel how the term "constitutional reform" has been used in different ways within the Peruvian State and how this has been reflected in the reality of the country itself.
Method: The methodological approach was descriptive qualitative research, based on the methodology "process tracing" and "discourse analysis". The information shown was based on systematized data from journalistic information and public speeches given in recent years, which have been compiled in a repository.
Results: The results demonstrate the different variations that the term "constitutional reform" has taken and how it has been used to support the Constituent Assembly, an objective of the radical left in Peru for decades. At the same time, it has been possible to demonstrate the relationship between this notion and the idea of "reform", which is the starting point of the terrorist group Sendero Luminoso, being the case that at present, little by little, they are getting closer to achieving their original objective.
Conclusions: The central contribution of the paper demonstrates the similarity between the original idea of reform of the terrorist group Sendero Luminoso and the dominant discourse of constitutional reform in the violent protests after the Castillo coup d'état. This variation in the meaning of "constitutional reform" for the Peruvian population involved in this reform plan is proven.

Authors: De Andrés Alonso P. , Fuente Sábate J. M. , García Merino T.
Published: April 2023

Parece evidente que la creación de empresas no se encuentra únicamente condicionada por las aptitudes y conocimientos del empresario y por el ambiente en el que se desarrolla, sino que la inercia del proceso creador —el efecto imitación— interviene con frecuencia en la adopción de tales decisiones. Recogidos dichos factores en un modelo, se han analizado las series de creación de empresas en España y en Castilla y León relativas al periodo 1981-1995, al objeto de determinar la presencia del efecto imitación. El tratamiento empírico ha constado de dos etapas: un análisis descriptivo y un análisis univariante de series temporales. El estudio comparado de las series nos ha permitido poner de manifiesto la existencia de algunas particularidades en la región sobre el conjunto nacional.

Geopolitics, History, International Relations and Re-Crafting TPLF Secession in Ethiopia and Destabilization in the Horn of Africa
Authors:   Professor, Department of African Studies, University of Delhi, New Delhi, Delhi 110021, INDIA, Kumar Dr. Suresh
Published: April 2023

The word terrorism means the deliberate creation and exploitation of fear for bringing about political change. All terrorist acts involve violence or—equally important—the threat of violence. The form of violence takes place on the name of language, tribal group ethnicity and religion. TPLF is one of the examples in North East Africa and in Horn consistently believe in violence on the pretext of one or the other mentioned above. The history explains that the violence cannot be justify today on the name of EPRDF movement/Marxist dominance or CIA supported antiterrorist/Capitalist ideology connecting international links. Further, the violence with the international weapon system doesn’t misnomer with international solidarity. The current crisis in Ethiopia ultimately is the geopolitical gluttony of lust for power, American pang of hunger of absolute control on oil and mineral resources on the name of terrorism and TPLF excitement of re-crafting ideology for the Tigre empire and future its secession as Tigre independent State. The ultimate loss to the Horn of Africa destabilization, which is fighting against all odds of natural calamity and weapon movement in this region.
Social Disaster and Death of Others: Why was the Pain and Death of the Itaewon Disaster Excluded from Daily Life?
Authors:   Korean Association of Cultural Studies, Lee Hee-Eun
Published: April 2023

As a social disaster, the Itaewon disaster left more scars by structurally excluding and isolating the victim's pain and death. This article examines how the suffering and death of social disasters are socially constructed and deconstructed, and has the purpose of exploring to reveal and restore memories and stories about social disasters. Death in modern society is deemed personal, but it is in fact related to others and is socially mediated. However, the Itaewon disaster shows the characteristics of reducing the social death to a personal accident and weakening the public character of remembrance and condolence by driving the victim's pain and death out of everyday life. This is not a simple disappearance of memories over time, but a form of active discrimination to erase the lives and records of others in everyday life. Examining how individual pain and death are politically removed from our daily life in the Itaewon disaster, I suggest that mourning and memory for social disasters should be practiced in time and space overlapping with daily life.
Social Disaster and Politics of Things
Authors:   Korean Association of Cultural Studies, Kim Sangmin
Published: April 2023

Tragic events in our society - catastrophes and disasters - always require us to reset our relationship with the things left behind. Things left behind after the disaster are traumatizing, but also important in that they prompt us to mourn for the victims and reflect on the disaster. This article examines the theoretical and practical conditions under which things and humans should be considered together in disasters and catastrophes, emphasizing the political role of things in connecting mourning to the social and public, with a particular focus on the October 29 Itaewon disaster. By doing so, it explores the temporal and social significance of the things left behind by the tragic disaster. It also deals with several examples to show how things left behind by the victims of the tragedy, especially shoes, function as objects of memory and mourning and as works of art that express trauma. Finally, it asks us to discover the possibility of expanding the politics of things beyond the passivity of mourning.

Further discoveries and detailed studies of close binaries of intermediate-mass stars in hierarchical triple systems are needed in order to understand their formation. Here we report the discovery of a 0.82M
⊙ companion to the intermediate mass spectroscopic binary HIP 67199 at a projected separation of 150 mas ↔ 15 au based on a VLTI/GRAVITY observation. In addition, the spectroscopic binary was spatially resolved with a projected separation 1.70 mas ↔ 0.18 au and inferred masses 1.84M
⊙ + 1.72M
⊙. Further observations can determine the amplitude of eccentricity oscillations in the inner system induced by the third star. HIP 67199 is a potential progenitor for a double white dwarf hiding within the glow of a main-sequence companion.
Sodium Brightening of (3200) Phaethon near Perihelion
Authors: Zhang Qicheng , Battams Karl , Ye 叶 Quanzhi 泉志 , Knight Matthew M. , Schmidt Carl A.
Published: April 2023

Sunskirting asteroid (3200) Phaethon has been repeatedly observed in Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) Heliospheric Imager 1 (HI1) imagery to anomalously brighten and produce an antisunward tail for a few days near each perihelion passage, phenomena previously attributed to the ejection of micron-sized dust grains. Color imaging by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) Large Angle Spectrometric Coronagraph (LASCO) during the 2022 May apparition indicates that the observed brightening and tail development instead capture the release of sodium atoms, which resonantly fluoresce at the 589.0/589.6 nm D lines. While HI1's design bandpass nominally excludes the D lines, filter degradation has substantially increased its D line sensitivity, as quantified by the brightness of Mercury’s sodium tail in HI1 imagery. Furthermore, the expected fluorescence efficiency and acceleration of sodium atoms under solar radiation readily reproduce both the photometric and morphological behaviors observed by LASCO and HI1 during the 2022 apparition and the 17 earlier apparitions since 1997. This finding connects Phaethon to the broader population of sunskirting and sungrazing comets observed by SOHO, which often also exhibit bright sodium emission with minimal visible dust, but distinguishes it from other sunskirting asteroids without detectable sodium production under comparable solar heating. These differences may reflect variations in the degree of sodium depletion of near-surface material and thus the extent and/or timing of any past or present resurfacing activity.

In this paper, we mainly consider operator equations $ AX = C $ and $ XB = D $ in the framework of Hilbert space. A new representation of the reduced solution of $ AX = C $ is given by a convergent operator sequence. The common solutions and common real positive solutions of the system of two operator equations $ AX = C $ and $ XB = D $ are studied. The detailed representations of these solutions are provided which extend the classical closed range case with a short proof.
Adaptive filter method in Bendlet domain for biological slice images
Authors: Liu Yafei , Yang Linqiang , Ma Hongmei , Mei Shuli
Published: April 2023

The biological cross-sectional images majorly consist of closed-loop structures, which are suitable to be represented by the second-order shearlet system with curvature (Bendlet). In this study, an adaptive filter method for preserving textures in the bendlet domain is proposed. The Bendlet system represents the original image as an image feature database based on image size and Bendlet parameters. This database can be divided into image high-frequency and low-frequency sub-bands separately. The low-frequency sub-bands adequately represent the closed-loop structure of the cross-sectional images and the high-frequency sub-bands accurately represent the detailed textural features of the images, which reflect the characteristics of Bendlet and can be effectively distinguished from the Shearlet system. The proposed method takes full advantage of this feature, then selects the appropriate thresholds based on the images' texture distribution characteristics in the database to eliminate noise. The locust slice images are taken as an example to test the proposed method. The experimental results show that the proposed method can significantly eliminate the low-level Gaussian noise and protect the image information compared with other popular denoising algorithms. The PSNR and SSIM obtained are better than other methods. The proposed algorithm can be effectively applied to other biological cross-sectional images.

Authors: Trinh Thi Phuong Thao , Danh Nguyen Nam , Ngo Van Dinh , Nguyen Thi Thu Hang , Nguyen Chi Thanh
Published: April 2023

In recent years, "digital transformation" has been mentioned more and more in most social aspects of life, including education. Digital transformation takes advantage of every opportunity that technology offers and can create an ecosystem in digital education to connect teachers, learners, and countries with new learning models. Besides, a technology trend that has been gaining traction is "gamification." In many countries, games are used in education to engage students through digital media, utilizing platforms or applications that require digital devices such as tablets, smartphones, or computers. However, to be able to apply it in Vietnam, various issues need to be addressed. The study polled 245 secondary and high school teachers in Vietnam to find out what factors influence the use of digital games in teaching in high schools in Northern Vietnam. The findings revealed that the teacher factor significantly affects the usage of digital games in the classroom. In addition, there are other factors, such as information technology tools for digital games in education, external resources, and available inherent resources. This can be used as a guide for adjusting the curriculum or developing pedagogical training programs to improve innovation and effectively use digital games in teaching.

Published: April 2023

The unexpected outbreak of the Corona virus (COVID-19) disrupted schools and universities around the world. Traditional classes were canceled, forcing schools and universities to switch to online learning. While developed countries have already adopted e-learning and online learning into their teaching practices, which made the transition relatively easy during the COVID-19 crisis, other developing countries continue to struggle with problems of electricity and information technology infrastructure. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the challenges of online learning faced by students and teachers at the Faculty of Sciences Ain Chock, Hassan II University of Casablanca, Morocco. Thus, two anonymous structured Google Forms questionnaires were sent to participants via email. 498 responses were returned from students and 105 from teachers. We use descriptive statistics to better understand the distribution of study participants. The study reveals that the faculty during the lockdown ensured educational continuity and offered a reliable online learning in terms of digital and educational materials. However, technical problems such as the slow speed of the Internet connection, lack of knowledge about the use of information and communication technologies to teach and learn, low motivation of students, were significant challenges to students’ and teachers’ use of the digital tools.

Published: April 2023

Zero tolerance policies and poor leadership in the workplace are predictors for failure when justice-involved individuals attempt to establish a place back in society. Restorative Compassion at Work is an intentional impact training model that can strengthen interpersonal skills, build a support community, and develop a character-driven workplace culture. This project aims to reduce recidivism while increasing workplace employee retention and employee satisfaction within companies hiring justice-involved individuals. Restorative processes in the workplace can transform the culture to become a welcoming space for all employees. Incorporating processes such as weekly check-in circles, community-building activities, and encouraging habits for human excellence into everyday conversations are a few practical strategies. This six-month pilot needs further exploration as a viable model for workplace transformation.
Restorative Justice and Practice in School Settings
Authors: Malone Anthony , Stowe Michelle
Published: April 2023

The proposed chapter will explore the complexities and challenges involved in navigating shifts toward restorative justice paradigms in post-primary (ages 12-18 years) school settings. It details a case study example of a community of practice (CoP) within an Irish second-level school. The dilemma that was presented was how to breathe life into restorative practice throughout the school - to establish and extend the use of restorative practices in classrooms. The chapter distills the tricky dilemmas and possibilities when seeking to build restorative cultures within a post-primary school setting and the necessary components to navigate the cultural and paradigmatic shift that is required. CoP meetings catalyzed the transformative potential of restorative practices to reframe embedded pedagogic cultures and afforded participant teachers the opportunity for ‘restorative learning.' Working in committed, dialogic ways, teachers came to recognize the complexity of young students' lives and create conditions for their voices to emerge in authentic ways.
The Practice of Diversion for Perpetrators of Child Crimes in Indonesia
Authors: Setiawan Hari Harjanto , Wardianti Adhani , Irmayani Nyi R.
Published: April 2023

This chapter examines the diversion practice for perpetrators of child crimes in Indonesia. Diversion is a form of legitimacy in resolving child problems as perpetrators of crimes outside the court; this is done because the child is still in the developmental stage. Children must be protected and receive special treatment; the state must protect and treat them differently from adults. This chapter will present qualitative data in the form of experiences in solving the problems of child offenders through diversion to achieve restorative justice. Deliberation between the victim's family and the perpetrator is a potentially viable solution for children. The goal is to find a fair resolution. Diversion takes away the motivation to retaliate against child offenders. Thus, diversion is a desirable option to resolve legal issues to achieve justice that prioritizes the interests of children.

Authors: Nizam Feridun
Published: April 2023

The aim of the study is to analyze the narrative structure with sociological criticism of the Hababam Classroom film series, which satirizes the education system in Turkey with all its stakeholders. The series consisting of six films between 1975 and 1981 was chosen as the sample. The basic assumption is that while the educational system is aimed to be satirically criticized, the narrative structure turns into comedy. As a matter of fact, the Hababam Classroom series has taken its place in the memories as the first cult works of the comedy genre in Turkish cinema. The study is based on the assumption that instead of an epic narrative in satirizing and criticizing the education system with all its stakeholders, the narrative structure turns into comedy due to the nature of the satirical tradition. As a result, this assumption was confirmed.

The Star Wars film series, which began in the 1970s and has since continued with trilogies, spin-offs, prequels, and sequels, is a space western with science fiction elements that depicts a story built on power. The central conflict in the Star Wars films is rooted in dichotomies like good-evil, light-dark, and those who possess the force versus those who do not. Due to this, the anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss's binary opposition model, which he used in structural analysis of the myths, is appropriate for evaluating the films. This study dwells upon the binary oppositions in the 2017 movie The Last Jedi, the second installment of the third trilogy. The study aims to question how the power phenomena is constructed mythically. Hollywood movies play a crucial role in the global dissemination of Western mythology. Thus, the ideological connotations created by popular culture were revealed.

The transition between scenes and sequences is an aesthetic issue that the director should focus on as much as the scene decoupage. Before the editing process, you need to predict the last shot of the scene and the following shot. Undoubtedly, a movie can be edited without this foresight. However, transitions between scenes are an aesthetic area where the director can show his/her skills. The director's artifice can be seen in the transitions between scenes. Rocky and Rocky II, which are discussed in the context of this study, are two prominent examples in this sense. The scripts of both films belong to Sylvester Stallone. However, the first movie of the series was directed by John Guilbert Avildsen, and the second was directed by Sylvester Stallone. The choices of the directors in the transitions between the scenes reveal the difference of their editing style.

Published: April 2023

The technical and technological developments have changed cinema production countless times throughout its history. While Georges Méliès started this journey at the beginning of the 1900s, it can be said that Norman O. Dana, a visual effects specialist and a producer, has carried the flag further and given visual effects their contemporary form. In 1993, thanks to the combined efforts by director Steven Spielberg and visual effects supervisor Stan Winston, dinosaurs came back to life on the big screen. When the movie adaptation of Michael Crichton's novel Jurassic Park first hit the theaters, it was applauded by most critics as a work that is ahead of its time in terms of visual effects and the richness of its storytelling. This chapter aims to trace the transformation of visual effects in the Jurassic Park movie series, as well as to expose the effects of this transformation on storytelling. To that end, the chapter consists of a comprehensive review and descriptive analyses.
The Analysis of Kobayashi's The Human Condition Trilogy by Referring to Arendt's Storytelling
Authors: Yıldırım Senem , Özdem Önder M.
Published: April 2023

In the Prologue to The Human Condition (1958), Hannah Arendt writes about her surprise at humans' desire to escape from their human condition. That same year, Junpei Gomikawa's autobiographical World War II novel titled The Human Condition was published and served as the basis for Kobayashi's film trilogy The Human Condition (1959-1961). The concurrent release of these critical works with the same title in distinct intellectual spheres is not coincidental. Personal encounter with totalitarianism is the basis for that intellectual reaction. In line with this argument, this study analyzes the narration in The Human Condition trilogy by referring to Arendt's literary approach. Moreover, the use of cinematographic factors is examined to depict the main character Kaji's struggle to stay 'human' in the face of a totalitarian and oppressive world.
