Published: July 2023

In our country, there is a large variety of foundation soils, some of them having inferior characteristics to those necessary for the proper support of a communication path. This raises some of the most common problems in the field of road infrastructures, namely the sliding of slopes in the area related to road construction. This phenomenon appears more and more frequently, especially after some periods with accentuated atmospheric instability, sometimes leading to the partial inability to use the affected infrastructure sector. In some cases, the development of this phenomenon can lead to the traffic blockage and the isolation of the communities in the area, to the destruction of a well-defined road sector and even to the loss of human lives. In order to maintain the quality requirements imposed by the law and to limit the risk of reaching the limit state of normal operation, respectively of compromising the structure, the administrators and the staff who are directly involved in the maintenance and the expertise of the affected area, achieve direct examination works or investigation by means of specific observation and measurement. In the current practice, these works are part of the technical expertise of the affected area, being made by a specialized team, led by an authorized technical expert in the field.
QUALITY ASSESSMENT OF THE TOFFEE WITH SWEETENERS AND DYE FROM WALNUT SEPTUM OR KERNEL’S PELLICLE
Authors: Bantea-Zagareanu Valentina , Sandu Iuliana , Baerle Alexei , Tatarov Pavel
Published: July 2023

Reduction of “bad” carbohydrates in sweets is a complex issue, because carbohydrates provide important sensory, physical and textural properties of food. This research illustrated the possible use of the colorant Brown 7 (0.6...1.0%) in combination with sucralose and isomalt for alerting the functional quality of toffee candies. Sensory and physicochemical properties, microbiological indicators and color parameters were analyzed for four samples of toffee. The combination of sweetener with anti-crystallizer and Brown 7 significantly improves the color of toffees. It was established by HPLC that during thermal processing the Casuarictin from Brown 7 transforms into Ellagic acid. These transformations lead to an increase in the intensity of the brown color in the toffee. The addition of Brown 7 contributes to the decrease of titratable acidity from 0.28 ± 0.08 in the control to 0.21 ± 0.06 degrees of acidity in the sample which contain 1.0% dye. The chromatic parameters L*, a*, b* of the toffee sample with 0.6% Brown 7 content are the closest to the classic toffee parameters. Use of colorant in combination with sweetener illustrates a potential synergy of sensorial properties. This help to increase the intake of natural bioactive compounds and to decrease carbohydrates in sweets, promising health benefits.

Grape seed oil (GSO) consists mostly of triglycerides of polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are sensitive to oxidation and to the high temperatures. The aim of this research was to study the effect of GSO fortification with hydroalcoholic extracts of antioxidants from grape seeds, up to and after 12 months. It was established that the immediate effect of the oil fortification was the increase of the total polyphenol content (TPC) in the oil, by up to 141.34 mg GAE/kg of oil, and the increase of the DPPH• antioxidant activity by up to 0.580 mmol TE/kg (in the control sample, refined grape oil, these values were 1.57 mg GAE/kg and 0.003 mmol TE/kg, respectively). After 12 months, TPC and DPPH• antioxidant activity decreased nearly 10-fold in all of the fortified oil samples. The difference between the oxidative status of the oil was assessed (UV-Vis). In the case of the GSO sample, treated with n-octyl gallate, the absorbances remained unchanged after 12 months. When compared to the synthetic antioxidant n-octyl gallate, grape seed polyphenolic extracts were found to have a less protective effect on the oil during storage under environmental conditions.

Published: July 2023

Organizational manageability is a crucial aspect of business management, requiring a combination of forecasting, planning, organizing, implementing, controlling and decision-making. Topological modular forms study the properties of objects that are invariant under certain types of transformations and the authors search for and identify a set of key factors that are essential to the organizational manageability (both stable and unstable) and create a framework that captures these factors. Organizational manageability is highly complex and multifaceted field that requires the integration of mentioned elements. In order to simplify incommensurable complexity, authors offer the hypothesis that differentiating the approach to manageability in the two distinct situations "steady and familiar condition" and "unsteady and with considerable uncertainty condition" is effective. Discrimination between those two situations is essential for business success and requires a deep understanding of market trends, customer needs, design of organization and usage of resources. By mastering the principles of organizational manageability based on mentioned classification of situations, businesses can improve their performance, increase their competitiveness and achieve their goals more effectively.

Published: July 2023

The phenomenon of sirri polygamous marriages, or without the permission of a legal wife and without the permission of the Religious Courts, common in Banjar Regency, South Kalimantan Province, still raises arguments for and against. Originally the meaning of sirri marriage was intended for the case where the conditions of marriage were not met, but now it has been extended to marriages that meet the conditions but have not been registered with the religious affairs office (KUA) of the sub-sector for those who are Muslim. The purpose of the study was to elucidate the constitutional rights of wives and children who were neglected as victims of polygamous marriages in Banjar Regency. This research is a type of empirical legal research with statutory, case and conceptual approaches. The results of the analysis show that sirri polygamy has an impact in the form of constitutional losses for spouses and children. If a polygamous marriage has received permission from the first wife, then the sirri wife can be well received and does not receive social sanctions in society, as well as the children of sirri polygamy are well received and equal in society. Sociologically, a child of a qualifying sirri polygamous marriage is legitimate, so the legal relationship between the child and both parents is one of kinship and inheritance. The constitutional issue for children of sirri polygamous marriages takes the form of legal issues related to identity rights. This is inseparable from the usual factors in an area, where for the Banjar community children born in wedlock, whether Sirri or registered, are considered legitimate children.

Authors: Marchetti Sante , Scarpetti Giuliana
Published: July 2023

La pandemia ha destabilizzato il mercato del lavoro, modificando la modalità di erogazione della prestazione lavorativa. Tutto ciò ha costretto i Servizi per l’impiego europei ad una riorganizzazione delle attività. Il presente contributo vuole fornire un quadro generale di come sia stato affrontato il processo di modernizzazione nei vari Stati. Prima della pandemia, i Servizi per l’impiego (SPI) presentavano differenti livelli di competenza e conseguentemente di utilizzo delle nuove tecnologie; ciò ha comportato differenti investimenti in materiale e formazione. Oggi si riscontra una sostenuta accelerazione verso la modernizzazione dei servizi erogati, grazie all’introduzione delle nuove tecnologie, soprattutto quelle legate all’Information Technology (IT). Lo studio presenta inoltre l’impatto sul budget delle singole macro-voci di costo (politiche attive del lavoro, costo del personale, formazione) e la ripartizione delle spese tra le diverse voci di bilancio. Vengono infine riportate alcune esperienze a livello Paese, per descrivere come i Servizi per l’impiego abbiano implementato concretamente questo cambiamento.

Published: July 2023

Due to the need to implement new operational procedures that provide productivity gains and cost reduction in wood harvesting and logistics, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of wood stacking on productivity and costs of forest extraction and loading operations. The study was carried out in eucalyptus plantations, where the extraction of wood with the forwarder and the loading of vehicles with the forest loader were evaluated. Three log stacking models on the edge of the stand were evaluated: control, inverted and adjacent, with variations in the alignment and distance of the logs concerning the edge of the stand. A study of the times and movements of the operations was carried out, determining the productivity (m³.h-1) and the production cost (R$.m-3) of the forestry operations. The data were compared using the Tukey test (α=5%) for parametric data and the Kruskal-Wallis test (α=5%) for non-parametric data, and the effect of different extraction distances was also verified using equations. The inverted stacking model contributed to the increase in extraction productivity, while the adjacent model in loading, with a reduction in production cost of around 22.1%. Simultaneously analyzing both wood stacking models, the standard model adopted by the forestry company was better with a 6.1% reduction in costs compared to the others. The productivity equations showed that the inverted stacking model contributed to the forwarder's higher performance at distances up to 140 m. The study showed that wood stacking models affect forestry operations and should be considered in operational planning.

Authors: White Benjamin Leonardo Alves , Lima Layanne Oliveira de Jesus
Published: July 2023

Controlled burns have been used to manage pastures, forests and agricultural fields for centuries. Defended by some and criticized by others, until today, there is still no consensus in the scientific community about the effects caused by fire on soil. This study had the objective to analyze the effect of controlled burns on soil pH, H+Al, Al3+, Na+, K+, P, O.M., Ca2+, Mg2+, and N. For this propose, two different pasture plots were burned and had the fire intensity quantified. The burned soil, and from an adjacent control plot, were collected at three different moments: immediately, one and six months after the burns. The burns presented low intensity ranging from 23,7 to 30,91 kJ m-1 s-1. Immediately after the burns the values of pH, Na+, Ca2+, K+ and P increased in the burned plots and were significantly different from the control plot. However, six months after the burns, only the amounts of K+, P and Ca2+ remained significantly larger than the controlled. Despite the values of the N and H+Al in burned and control areas were similar immediately and one month after the burns, after six months the amount of N was significantly larger in one of the burned plot, while the H+Al was significantly bigger in the control plot. The amounts of Mg2+, O.M. and Al3+did not change during the study period. The found results suggest that low-intensity controlled burns can reduce soil acidity and be effective in increasing some essential nutrients for plant development in short term.
Moral Education through Literary Aesthetic Experience: A Moral Study of the Harry Potter Series
Authors: Mishra Nirbhay Kumar , Ghosh Rupkatha
Published: July 2023

This paper attempts to unravel how a reader embraces the idea of moral education while enjoying the aesthetic pleasure of the Harry Potter series. It develops a view on moral education through literary experience, which is intrinsically intertwined with aesthetic experience. The amalgamation of reality and fantasy in the Harry Potter novels creates an authenticity that can easily capture the moral attention of a reader by which his/her self-realized valuable emotional intelligence takes place. The well-knit plot encourages reader's self-efficacy (“I” reactive attitude) that triggers the sui-generis, first-personal sense of morality and gradually develops the third-personal “we” attitude. Finally, based on an empirical study, the article explains how the Harry Potter series is productive in building the reader's positive moral psychology through different applications like moral agency, moral point of view, and moral judgment.

Importance of Prosecution Witnesses in Terrible Crimes of Sexual Violence, Abduction, Abuse, Torture, Rape And Killing Against Innocent Women and Children
Authors: Dr Aftab Ahmad Malik  , Mujtaba Asad  , Waqar Azeem
Published: July 2023

The cases against innocent women and children are tremendously increasing day by day. The offenders are committing sexual intimidation and harassment accompanied by a high degree of torture and killing. The burglars are also observed in such offenses with rape, torture, and/or killing as modus-operandi. Rape is defined under ‘Hadood Laws’ in Islamic Jurisprudence and suggests strong punishments. The ‘Taazir’ sanctions sanctify emerging and contemporary types of criminality. The majority of Islamic penal law's sentences are ‘Taazir’ in nature. The most popular forms of ‘Taazir’ include imprisonment, whipping, fines, and the death penalty. According to Islamic jurisprudence, society must protect its morals, Apart from other factors, this paper focuses on the importance of prosecution witnesses. The prosecution witnesses are the backbone of a criminal case in the court. The criminals and their alias keep following up with the witnesses to prevent and avert the evidence in court; because they know the related information and knowledge about the offense. The paper probes the psychological and psychiatric reasons, why the offenders have abnormal behavior of this type. Therefore, the protection and safe custody of witnesses is of very high importance, particularly in cases of murder and rape. We highlight the ordinary as well as expert witnesses and their role in the cases, regarding proceedings by the prosecution. The role of witnesses is of immense importance. This paper presents two case studies to justify that prosecution must build up and collect enough substantial evidence to win the case in court.

Authors: Dr Aftab Ahmad Malik  , Dr Waqar Azeem  , Dr Mujtaba Asad
Published: July 2023

This paper mainly focuses on the custody of a minor child, abducted and abused by criminals from the place of parental residence. The cases regarding the kidnapping of minor young girls and teenage women are increasing rapidly. The modus operandi of criminals varies from case to case. In some cases criminals torture the abducted minors, rape, and kill them; while in some other cases to escape from law enforcement agencies, they arrange “forced-illegal-fake” marriages under threat of life. In most of the offenses, an organized rich Gang of criminals is tangled and involved. The Gang members are given different responsibilities to perform and commit the crime by the leader of the Gang. They have also the backing of the most effective personalities, who safeguard them in the existing system and such personalities remain effective and hidden. Therefore, the victim and the family do not get justice from any corner. The Gang and the “effective personality” invest huge amounts of money in “red light areas” or the sale of limbs like kidneys, hearts or livers, etc inland or abroad. However, the abductee undergoes a lot of torture and gang rape. Secondly, the authors focus on and stress the need for strong legislation so that criminals are punished when their guilt is proven and also not bailed out for nonbailable offenses. Thirdly and most importantly, the abductee must be handed over to the parents after recovery from the criminal Gang. This paper presents a case study of an abducted school-baby, who has not been handed over to the parents for the last six months. The faults of the legal system in Pakistan require to be overviewed, revamped, and overhauled. The antagonistic behavior of Police and investigating officers is also required to be modified, which adversely affects the merits of the case in courts of law.

Remote Desktop Protocol provides users with a graphical user interface to access the system remotely and its implementation is called “remote desktop services”. This is widely used by network administrators and remote workers. Due to vulnerabilities and weak configurations, the protocol is hugely abused by threat actors and hackers to perform malicious acts such as data infiltration, deploying backdoors, malware, and lateral movements. In this article, there will be a discussion on the importance of RDP in digital forensics, understanding RDP-based artifacts and there use in forensics investigations where RDP was suspected to be involved.
Milli Mücadele Dönemi Kadın Edebiyatında Halide Edip Adıvar’ın Kaleminden Kadın Direnişinin Yansımaları
Authors: KORONCU ÖZBİLEN Duygu
Published: July 2023

Feminist yazın, Türkiye'nin milli mücadelesi sırasında Mustafa Kemal Atatürk'ün önderliğinde ateşlenen en önemli kültürel ve yaratıcı hareketlerden biriydi. Kadınların edilgin ve evle sınırlı olduğu şeklindeki geleneksel görüşe, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu'nun her yerinde kadınların kamusal alana aktif katılımı düşüncesi meydan okumuştur. Türkiye'deki feminist hareketin kökeni 19. yüzyıla dayanmaktadır, ancak asıl çıkış noktası I. Dünya Savaşı, Kurtuluş Savaşı ve Atatürk'ün Türk kadınına verdiği destektir. Eğitim, gelecek nesilleri modernleştirmek için hayati olarak görülen kadınların bağımsızlığının ve kadının modernleşmesinin anahtarı olarak görülmüştür. Ülkemizdeki 19. yüzyılın sonlarına kadar uzanan mevcut bir feminist hareket, ulusal mücadele boyunca feminist yazının ortaya çıkmasına katkıda bulunmuştur. Dönemin en etkili yazarlarından biri olan Halide Edip Avar'ın yapıtlarında Osmanlı kültüründeki toplumsal cinsiyet rolleri normları sorgulanmaktadır. Ateşten Gömlek ve Vurun Kahpeye adlı eserleri, ülke vatandaşlarının gururunun ve cesaretinin simgesi olmuştur Mevcut araştırma, Türkiye'de Mustafa Kemal Atatürk'ün önderliğindeki ülkenin devrimci dönemi olan milli mücadele döneminde feminist yazınının en önemli yazarlarından olan Halide Edip Adıvar’ın Ateşten Gömlek ve Vurun Kahpeye eserlerinin milli mücadele kadın direnişine yaptığı katkıyı incelemektedir. Araştırmada romanlardan milli mücaledenin kadın direnişi yansımalarını dile getiren örnekler verilmiştir. Çalışma, kadınların kaygılarını ve isteklerini ifade etme aracı olarak feminist yazının işlevini vurgulamakta ve milli mücadelenin Türk kültüründeki kültürel ve yaratıcı ifadeler üzerindeki etkisinin altını çizmektedir.

The Feasibility of an Innovative Gamified Flipped Classroom Application for University Students in EFL Context: An Account of Autonomous Learning
Authors: Nilubol Kittichai
Published: July 2023

Aligned with the progress of technology and the availability of online resources, there is a growing inclination to incorporate game elements or gamification into educational settings, particularly in English language classrooms. This mixed methods research endeavors to examine the potential of the Gamified Flipped Classroom Application (GFCA) named “Classcraft” to enhance student’s learning ability, motivation, and autonomy. Questionnaires were employed to explore students’ attitudes towards the utilization of GFCA as an innovative learning tool within the research context. Furthermore, semi-structured interviews were conducted to gain deeper insights into students' perspectives regarding the use of Classcraft in augmenting their learning motivation and autonomy. The study was carried out with a cohort of 31 Thai EFL students enrolled in English for import and export courses at a public university in northeastern Thailand. The findings revealed that the student’s learning ability exhibited improvement, as evidenced by a higher mean score in the posttest compared to the pretest, subsequent to the implementation of the gamified flipped classroom application in the course. Additionally, a majority of the students expressed a favorable inclination towards the application due to its effectiveness in enhancing their learning motivation, and autonomy and providing an enjoyable and engaging learning experience.
Corporate Board Gender Diversity and Financing Decision

Based on a total of 1,590 listed non-financial firms on the Taiwan Stock Exchange and the Taipei Exchanges covering the period of 2007~2020, this study examines whether a firm’s financing decision, namely, capital structure policy is affected by corporate board gender diversity. While existing research has explored the effects of a firm’s board diversity on various financial and non-financial consequences, this study argues that board gender diversity contributes to better financial performance and higher social reputation, on the one hand, it allows the firm to borrow more funds or enjoy better loan conditions, and on the other hand, it also leads to a higher level of trust in the firm’s ability to repay debts from its funders. All of these factors make the firm more likely to have a higher level of debt utilization. Through correlation analysis and multiple regression estimation, principal outcome shows that firm with greater degree of board gender diversity tends to use more debt financing in the capital structure decision.
The Inefficacy of Loose Monetary Policy
Authors: Choie Kenneth S.
Published: July 2023

Based on U.S. macroeconomic data from the past 30 years, it appears that the loose monetary policy of maintaining low interest rates did not effectively encourage businesses and consumers to increase their purchases. Despite the intent of the policy to stimulate demand for goods and services, it instead had an unexpected effect on the financial sector by driving up demand for assets, which led to inflation in equity and real estate prices. As a result, a loose monetary policy is unlikely to be an effective strategy for countering a recession, which contradicts the working assumption of the central banks around the world.

We offer a security solution to considerably reduce latency in an IP network by virtualizing the IP/MPLS core network. It consists of adapting a virtualization method to a complex IP network, presenting the simulation of the implementation of this virtualization and the modifications to be made to certain aspects of the code of the solution. These modifications would take into account the key performance indicators of the network in order to guarantee its security and the transmission through very wide bands of data. To do this, we use Software Defined Network (SDN) technology. It allows us to have an emergent, scalable, dynamic, secure, laudable and adaptable network architecture, making it suitable for today's high bandwidth applications and IT services. This architecture decouples network control and digital data transfer functions, making network control directly programmable and the underlying infrastructure abstracted to network applications and services. After describing the soft failover to a virtualized network, we present the new architecture that describes the separation of the control and data planes of the core of the IP/MPLS network of the Autonomous Port of Kribi (PAK) in Cameroon, as part of our research work. We will then present the aspects in which modifying the code would contribute to improving one of the key qualities of service, namely latency in the heart of the network. We go from latencies above 100 ms to latencies below 1 ms; finally we recommend the approach for a continuous modification of the code with a view to optimizing the performance of the network in a continuous process for the reduction of its latency.
Narrating the Interplay Between Circular Economy (CE) and Ecological Transition: A Social and Cultural Perspective from CE Experiments in Kamouraska (Quebec) and La Rochelle (France)

Published: July 2023

This article examines how local circular economy (CE) initiatives can help to address ecological transition issues. From semi-structured interviews with various stakeholders of two local CE experiments in France and Quebec, we reveal that local CE experiments prioritize environmental impact and economic performance while often neglecting the social and cultural dimensions of the ecological transition. Consequently, we underscore diverse opportunities and levers for CE to foster these dimensions of ecological transition. We propose potential strategies and prerequisites for connecting CE experiments with the broader ecological transition, explicitly focusing on incorporating social and cultural perspectives.
