Chinese Investments in Russia as a Factor of Cross-Border Russian-Chinese Cooperation
Authors: Zalesskaya Olga
Published: June 2022

The article deals with the problem of attracting Chinese investment in the territory of Pacific Russia; Pacific Russia is considered as the regions of the Far East and Transbaikalia, focused on the countries of the Asia-Pacific region. The issues of attracting Chinese investors are considered in the context of the significance and role of Pacific Russia, which, in turn, is characterized as a peripheral territory adjacent to the peripheral territories of the North-East of the PRC. Expert opinions on ways to effectively develop Pacific Russia in the context of the problem of Russia's eurocentricity and quasi-colonial approach to the Far Eastern territories are analyzed in detail. The article examines the role and prospects of Chinese investment as a factor in cross-border Russian-Chinese cooperation, problems and prospects in attracting Chinese capital to the Russian Far Eastern territories, and the attractiveness of the proposed preferences and benefits for Chinese investors.
Historical Politics as a Tool for Legitimizing the Elite and National Identity
Authors: Krotkov Vladimir
Published: June 2022

The article discusses the theoretical, methodological and practical aspects of the commemoration. The analysis touches upon such features of the subject as the genesis of historical politics, its connection with the process of legitimization of the political elite, the formation of national identity. It is important to delineate the demarcation lines between such key concepts as “symbolic politics”, “political use of the past”, “memory politics”, “historical politics”. The paper interprets various definitions of the basic conceptual and categorical apparatus. At the same time, within the framework of the article, the author considered several national cases (Russian, German and Belarusian), in which the practice of victimology is widely used as a basic narrative of legitimizing the political order and a tool for forming national identity, which, in turn, is not a consolidating basis for modern societies, due to a number of factors. Along with this, it is concluded that political symbolism, as a general phenomenon, and its particular form, historical politics, have firmly taken their place in the socio-political space and represent meta-narratives that have largely replaced the classical ideological doctrines of the modern era.

Authors: Alkhalidy Qassim Mutar Abad , Al-Kaabi Murtadha Mudhefer Shar
Published: June 2022

The research aims to show the problem of housing as a result of the growing population growth by knowing the amount of housing needed and the housing deficit. The study employed the city of Al-Amarah as a case study and focused on three housing sectors that included 54 residential neighbourhoods, as the city occupies an area of 4854,2 hectares. The study shows the causes of this problem are represented by steady urban growth with a growth rate of 3.4%, which was reflected in the size of families, which amounted to 115,509 families, with a housing density of 24.4 families/ha, living in 72,186 housing units with an occupancy rate of 8. The findings show that another reason is the spread of slums in the city, amounting to 5029 housing units. Finally, the study also shows that as long as the present political and economic difficulties remain unsolved, the urbanisation crisis, which is characterised by unregulated unemployment, underemployment, housing shortages, a lack of social infrastructure, and, of course, poverty, will continue to deteriorate.

Malaria is an infectious disease throughout the world where the disease is transmitted by infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. Malaria has some symptoms that are almost like COVID-19. Malaria has several other symptoms, characterized by chills, anemia, cold sweats, nausea and vomiting, and a sudden drop in blood pressure. Identification of the type of malaria begins with preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification for identification. Image improvement is part of the preprocessing stage to improve image quality so that the malaria parasite object in the image can be seen clearly. This study tries to improve the algorithm with hybrid dark and contrast stretching. Performance evaluation of malaria parasite image improvement using Mean Square Error (MSE) and Peak Signal Noise Ratio (PSNR). The results obtained with the improvement of dark hybrids and contrast stretching can improve the image quality of malaria parasite objects with MSE value = 0.0095 and PSNR value = 22.8404, compared with dark stretching, contrast stretching, histogram equalization.

Authors: Abdul-Hussein Rawaa Mohammed , H. Mohammed Ahmed , Kadhim Amal Abbas
Published: June 2022

Cyber-criminal attacks witnessed various phishing attacks that blindly attract users to use their secret personal information. This research highlights this type of attack and proposes the development of a new model to detect phishing websites. Two aspects of improvement were followed. Firstly, a new feature is inferred from a combination of features with higher classification capability than the original features. Secondly, a novel method has been proposed by using differential evaluation (DE) to select the best rules among the fuzzy rule set; the DE is a viable way to optimize the fuzzy rule, improving the classification complexity. The proposed system was evaluated by applying two malicious and legitimate datasets collected from Phishtank and Alexa websites. Results show the combination feature can include a promising method for detecting phishing attacks according to the evaluation metrics in the precision of 0.973, recall of 0.933, F-measure of 0.947, and accuracy of 0.976.
Application of Information and Communications Technology in MFIs: Evidence from Bangladesh
Authors: Islam Md Tariqul
Published: June 2022

This study aims to evaluate the utilization pattern of ICT services by Bangladeshi microfinance institutions (MFIs). In so doing, this exploratory study interviews the staff of 10 prominent MFIs to underscore the ICT usage pattern of the organizations. The questions focused on the usage pattern of seven aspects of digital services such as website, ATM, e-cards and mobile financial services (MFS), smartphone use, MIS, customized software for different departments, and electronic mail and file management system. The results reveal that all the organizations maintain websites and use smartphones for internal and external communications, while none incorporated the services of ATM, debit, or credit cards. Moreover, it finds that only 20 percent of the MFIs included MFS to facilitate transactions and an identical proportion of institutions have electronic mail and e-file management services for their office management. It also claims that employing management information systems (MIS) and using customized software accounts for 20% and 40%, respectively. Therefore, policymakers and microfinance organization should take the necessary steps to foster the use of digital services in the business process so that costs can be minimized to attain the principles of outreach and sustainability.
Provision of Woman-Friendly Care and Its Associated Factors Among Pregnant Women in Jimma Town Public Health Institutions, Ethiopia
Authors: Yetwale Aynalem , Melkamu Eneyew , Seid Huria
Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND

Woman-friendly care plays a crucial role to enhance maternal health service utilization particularly in settings wherever maternal health service utilization is low. However, it doesn’t get appropriate attention in our country with low maternal health service utilization. Therefore, this aimed to assess the provision of women-friendly care and its associated factors among mothers attending antenatal care at Jimma public health institutions.

METHODS

An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 303 pregnant women who attended antenatal care at Jimma public health institutions from December 1 to December 30, 2020. The sample size was calculated using the single population proportion formula and samples were taken after proportional allocation was done for the hospital and health centers using the proportion allocation formula. Data were entered into EpiData version 3.1.1 and exported into statistical packages for Social Sciences version 21.0 for cleaning and further analysis. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the association between women-friendly care and explanatory variables. The strength of association was evaluated using an odds ratio at a 95% confidence interval and a p-value less than (<) 0.05 was considered to declare significant associations.

RESULTS

A total of 322 pregnant women were involved in this study and 19 questionnaires were incomplete giving a response rate of 94.1%. The proportion of women-friendly care was 60.1%[( 95% CI); (55.1–66.1)]. Women-friendly care was significantly associated with marital status AOR = 2.7[(95%CI); (1.32–5.63)], residence AOR = 4.1[(95%CI); (1.97–8.6)], mode of delivery AOR = 0.18[(95%CI); (0.05–0.6)], and choice of the health care provider AOR = 16.5[(95%CI); (6.9–37.6)].

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

The provision of women-friendly care in this study was lower than the World Health Organization focused antenatal care recommendation. Therefore, the provision of women-friendly care that reflects factors associated with it during the provision is recommended. Health professionals and other stakeholders should consider that women may refuse to seek care from a provider who “abuses” them or does not treat them well, even if the provider is skilled in preventing and managing complications.

Authors: Argaw Muche , Mesfin Yibeltal , Demissie Eskedar
Published: June 2022

INTRODUCTION

Birth-related perineal tear or laceration(s) are related to vaginal delivery. Perineal laceration(s) can results in serious maternal morbidity and even mortality in low and middle-income countries, including Ethiopia. The prevalence and determinants of birth-related perineal tear have not been well studied in Ethiopia, particularly in the study area of this research. Therefore, the aims of this research were to determine the prevalence and determinants of birth-related perineal tear among mothers who delivered in Atat Hospital in southern Ethiopia. It was another aim of this study to design an evidence-based intervention and prevention strategies for the reduction of a BPT in the study area and the country based on analysis of data acquired in this research.

METHODS

A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted at Atat Hospital from March 1 to August 30, 2021. A total of 422 mothers were included. A systematic random sampling procedure was used to select the study participants. Chart review and interviewer-administered questionnaires were used to collect data. Data entry and analysis were done by using Epi info 7 and SPSS version 20. The strength of associations was assessed by using an adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval (CI) and statical significance was considered at p-value of less than (<) .05.

RESULT

The prevalence of perineal tears in Atat Hospital was 152 (38.4%) among 396 delivered mothers (95% CI 33.8, 43.4%). Variables found to be related to perineal tear(s) included an episiotomy, (AOR, 2.145,95% CI 1.051, 4.378), fundal pressure (AOR, 7.409, 95% CI 3.157, 17.384), augmentation, (AOR, 4.608,95% CI 2.139, 9.927), and neonatal head circumference (AOR, 3.427,95% CI 2.377, 4.923). These four variables were significantly associated with the perineal tear (p < .05).

CONCLUSION

The prevalence of perineal trauma in this study was high may be be minimized with the use of indicated episiotomy and the lack of fundal pressure. Fundal pressure, augmentation, an episiotomy, and neonatal head circumference were significantly associated factors with the occurrence of perineal tears.

Uzasadnienia nazwotwórcze mikrotoponimów w perspektywie etnolingwistycznej
Authors: Jelonek Tomasz
Published: June 2022

The main purpose of this article is an attempt to analyse the justifications of microtoponyms regarding name creation and ethnolinguistics. The research material contains over 1000 geographical names with different kind of data (e.g. information concerning semantic motivations). These geographical names were collected from 2011 to 2017 during informal conversations with the oldest- and middle-generation inhabitants of Wręczyca Wielka in the Klobuck poviat.

Name-creation justifications of microtoponyms contain not only data concerning semantic motivations, but also extensive cultural contexts which elucidate the function of designated objects at village space. The information gained from the respondents shows a naïve method of interpreting non-linguistic reality, typical for microcommunity members. Furthermore, considering the form and way of communication, small assumptions regarding the respondents can be made.
Od konwersatorium „Język a kultura” do konwersatorium EUROJOS
Authors: Bartmiński Jerzy
Published: June 2022

The author of this essay was an active member of the “Language and culture” conference series since its commencement. He presents the historical background of its origin and recalls the very fruitful collaboration (from 1976 onwards) with the Wrocław circles of Polish philologists under the guidance of Czesław Hernas. He then discusses three publication series connected with the conferences: the Wrocław “white series” Języka a Kultura, the Lublin “red series,” and the Lublin journal Etnolingwistyka, which together amount now to over ninety volumes. Janusz Anusiewicz’s conception of cultural linguistics is then praised; however, that author’s narrow view of ethnolinguistics as folk studies is criticised. The exploration of language and culture initiated in Wrocław in the 1980s is being continued in ethnolinguistic research on values (axiological linguistics) within the EUROJOS project, based on the good general framework of the “Language and culture” conference series. So far, the EUROJOS project has produced five volumes of the Axiological Lexicon of Slavs and Their Neighbours (2015–2019).

O trabalho de leitura de literatura na educação básica brasileira:
Authors: Biziak Jacob dos Santos
Published: June 2022

Problematizações surgem de maneira a questionar as metodologias de ensino de língua (em análise linguística, literatura, leitura e produção textual) na educação básica. Diversas obras têm sido elaboradas e lançadas de forma a tentar atualizar os debates sobre o papel e a possibilidade de o trabalho de leitura de literatura em língua portuguesa. No entanto, ainda assim, uma lacuna parece continuar se inscrever a respeito do investimento em trabalhos que articulem teorias literárias (narratologia, por exemplo), teorias pedagógicas e teorias discursivas. Como resultado, importantes referências têm sido lançadas, mas ainda reforçando relações jurídicas, econômicas e do político que conduzem professores (formadores de leitores de literatura) e alunos (leitores de literatura em formação) a identificações cujos funcionamentos precisam ser compreendidos como estratégia de se debater a permanência do autoritarismo e do liberalismo em práticas de leitura de literatura na educação básica. A partir disso, recorremos a alguns conceitos fundamentais da análise de discurso desenvolvida por Michel Pêcheux e Eni Orlandi – como interpretação, compreensão, leitura, autoria e sujeito – e a algumas reflexões de Dermeval Saviani sobre a historicidade da formação de professores e de uma Pedagogia Histórico-Crítica no Brasil. Com essa base, pretendemos sustentar um gesto de leitura sobre Letramento literário (2006), de Rildo Cosson, uma referência recorrente em cursos de formação de professores de literatura no Brasil. A partir da análise discursiva de algumas sequências recortadas da mencionada obra, objetivamos compreender o funcionamento de enunciados que, contraditoriamente, acabam corroborando relações jurídicas, econômicas e do político da língua que merecem ser consideradas no trabalho de construção de leitura (e no reconhecimento de sua divisão social) enquanto paráfrases do autoritarismo, do produtivismo e da exclusão de algumas posições de sujeito na formação social (travestidos pela metáfora da “liberdade de leitura”, “liberdade do leitor” pelo letramento).

Purpose – Islamic finance is becoming increasingly important both globally and in Indonesia. However, studies on the relationship between Islamic finance and Indonesia’s economy are scant. Therefore, this study aims to analyse the short-term and long-term relationship between Islamic finance and Indonesia’s economy.   Methodology – This study uses monthly data for the period 2011–2020 which are estimated using the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). The dependent variable is Indonesia’s Growth Domestic Product (GDP), while the independent variables are macroeconomic variables (gross fixed capital formation, trade openness and inflation), Islamic finance (Islamic banking, capital market and Sukuk) and a Covid-19 dummy variable.Findings – The study found a one-way causal relationship between Islamic finance and Indonesia’s economy. In the short term, Sukuk (Islamic bonds) has a significant effect on Indonesia’s GDP. While in the long term, Islamic banks and Islamic mutual funds are found to impact Indonesia’s GDP significantly. These results imply a positive relationship between Islamic finance and Indonesia’s GDP in both the short and long term. It is also notable that rates of investment, inflation and the occurrence of the Covid-19 pandemic have a significant impact on GDP.Originality – Most studies linking Islamic finance and economic size only use Islamic banking to proxy Islamic finance. However, while Islamic banking institutions dominate the Islamic finance landscape, non-bank Islamic financial institutions such as the capital market are becoming increasingly important in many countries, including Indonesia. This study fills the gap by incorporating Islamic capital market variables such as Islamic mutual funds and Sukuk to explain the relationship between Islamic finance and economic size in the world’s largest Muslim country.Research limitations – Due to data limitations, this study uses only Islamic mutual funds and Sukuk to represent non-bank financial institutions, which as a sector includes various other sub-sectors.Practical implications – Policymakers, industry and academics could use the research findings to accelerate the development of Islamic finance in Indonesia and strengthen its role in supporting and aiding the recovery of the Indonesian economy.

Purpose – This study aims to optimize the role of mosques in increasing economic welfare and reducing widespread public usury loans. Moreover, this study also aims to determine the right model for Islamic financial activities.Methodology – This is a qualitative study and the Analytic Network Process (ANP) BOCR model was utilized to obtain the ideal model according to literature reviews and expert opinion. This study conducted in-depth interviews with 5 experts (Ulama, Regulators (Financial Services Authority), Fintech Practitioners, fintech academics, and the Indonesian Mosque Council).Findings – Three alternative models were chosen by the experts, namely the Crowdfunding Model (0.47), Peer-to-Peer landing (0.37), and Bank Infaq (0.17). In addition, the experts suggested for attention to be made to the cost factor (0.47) so as not to burden the mosque. Moreover, according to the experts, the benefits (0.28) that will be obtained will be greater for the welfare of the mosque and residents around the mosque if fintech crowdfunding is implemented.Originality – Research on the role of mosques in improving people's welfare by utilizing fintech is very rarely done. The results of this study are expected to increase the role of the community in collecting funds and controlling the distribution of tabarru' funds.Research limitations – This type of research is exploratory, and empirical research is needed for in-depth results.Practical implications – If this research is implemented, it will accelerate the recovery of economic conditions during a crisis.Social implications – The successful implementation of the Islamic Social Finance (ISF) model by utilizing the role of the mosque will improve the welfare of the community evenly.

Published: June 2022

Purpose – This study aims (i) to analyze the readiness of zakat management institutions in zakat digitalization and (ii) to analyze the problems and solutions in managing zakat funds through digital platforms.Methodology – The study used two methods, called the interview and the Delphi-ANP methods. The data used in this study were the results of interviews with zakat managers (OPZ) in South Kalimantan (BAZNAS and LAZNAS). Besides practitioners, it also involved experts from various universities in South Kalimantan.Findings – The results showed that most zakat institutions in South Kalimantan, Most zakat institutions have a good understanding and readiness to shift to digital platforms. Based on the analysis of problems and solutions in using digital platforms in zakat management, the study found alternative priority problems and solutions for zakat institutions. The problems and solutions covered human resources, IT, institution management and socialization and communication, muzakki, society, government and digitization. In particular, the main cluster of priority problems was management, and the main cluster of priority solutions included human resources.Originality – The researchers reviewed several studies that explained problems and theories of zakat management through digital platforms. However, there is still seemingly no study reviewing problems to manage zakat funds through digital platforms provided by zakat institutions.Practical implications – This research shows that OPZ needs to recruit IT and Digital Marketing people. In addition, it suggests OPZ designs and creates crowdfunding, e-wallet, e-commerce, website, and social media. Following that, OPZ should do digital planning for zakat collection and training conducted by BAZNAS Province and Center to OPZ periodically. They also need to establish a partnership with scholars (Ulama) and the government agencies to increase the payment zakat digitally.
Cross-sectional Analysis of Beams Subjected to Saint-Venant Torsion Using the Green’s Theorem and the Finite Difference Method
Authors: Fogang Valentin
Published: June 2022

This paper presents an approach to the elastic analysis of beams subjected to Saint-Venant torsion using Green’s theorem and the finite difference method (FDM). The Saint-Venant torsion of beams, also called free torsion or unrestrained torsion, is characterized by the absence of axial stresses due to torsion; only shear stresses are developed. A solution to this torsion problem consists of finding a stress function that satisfies the governing equation and the boundary conditions. The FDM is an approximate method for solving problems described with differential equations; it does not involve solving differential equations, equations are formulated with values at selected nodes of the structure. In this paper, the beam’s cross-section was discretized using a two-dimensional grid and additional nodes were introduced on the boundaries. The introduction of additional nodes allowed us to apply the governing equations at boundary nodes and satisfy the boundary conditions. Beams with solid sections as well as multiply connected cross-sections were analyzed using this model; shear stresses and localized stresses at reentrant corners, torsion constant, and warping displacements were determined. Furthermore, beams with thin-walled closed sections, single-cell or multiple-cell, were analyzed using the Prandtl stress function whereby a linear distribution of the shear stresses over the thickness was considered; closed-form solutions for shear stresses and torsion constant were derived. The results obtained in this study showed good agreement with the exact results for rectangular cross-sections, and the accuracy was increased through a grid refinement. For thin-walled closed sections, the shear stresses obtained at the centerline using the closed-form solutions were in agreement with the values using Bredt’s analysis but the maximal values in the cross-section, which did not necessarily occur at the position with the smallest thickness, were higher; in addition, the results using the closed-form solutions were in good agreement with those using FDM.
A Means to Make an Extremely Bright Entangled Source
Authors: Cornwall Remi
Published: June 2022

This paper discusses a means of making an extremely bright path entangled source. An initial laser source is preferred but any source of light: LED, sub-critical laser, coherent or thermal can be used. The light is dimmed by a beam expander until the relative number of |1> or |2> photons increases compared to higher photon states. The expanded beam is then passed through a 1:1 beamsplitter to generate path entanglement on the |1> and |2> photons. A further stage of “purification” can remove the non-entangled higher states by passing the output beams from the beamsplitter through one another, such that the correlated entangled photon electrical fields cancel in some region. In the said region, the uncorrelated non-entangled fields can be Faraday rotated and then absorbed by a polariser. The entangled photons pass through the region without rotation and attenuation. The output from the device then has copious quantities of 1 and 2 photon path entangled suitable for use in telecommunications engineering, secure transmission of data and quantum metrology. The wide beams can be beam-contracted to a thin bright beam and will keep the path entanglement of individual photons, as photons are bosons and so don’t interact, furthermore, all operations are unitary and linear, as by Maxwell’s equations.

Deafness is a condition in which a person cannot hear due to a disturbance in his hearing organs. In communicating, most of the deaf sufferers only receive hearing aids. WHO (World Health Organization) initiated the Sound of Hearing 2030 by preventing hearing loss by 50% in 2015 and 90% in 2030. The main objective of Sound of Hearing is to develop a comprehensive, inclusive, and sustainable ear care program. Various studies on tools for deafness have been developed. However, this tool is only used to help deaf hearing but not to help speech learning (learn to speak). Thus we need hearing aids and speech learning tools for the deaf. This tool can be a government program, namely supporting a diffable-friendly Indonesia. The tool is designed like a headband, where the headband is composed of a row of vibrating modules that will be connected to the Google Assistant on a smartphone, so that any sound received by the Google Assistant will be sent to the tool to be converted into a vibration pattern. It is from these vibration patterns that a deaf person will get experience in recognizing sounds and learn to speak based on the vibration patterns that are formed. With the design of this tool, it hoped that it can help deaf people and get support from the community and government to create a diffable-friendly Indonesia. 
COBAC: An Adaptive Transhipment Station Localization for Reducing IUU Fishing Practices

Published: June 2022

The global consumption of fish products is increasing on the scale of millions of tonnes every year. This makes the aquaculture industry as one of the leading sectors to provide food, employment, and ensuring a sustainable livelihood. The implication of rapid growth in global fish production and massive consumption is causing productivity burden on the fisheries management to meet the market demands. This eventually leads to aggravated competition within the fishing networked community. For surviving the competition and increased pressure, few people from fishing community often indulge in various kinds of illegal fishing activities. Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing happens to be a major problem plaguing the fish production. Our research proposes a solution based on official transhipment station that solves the problems of illegal transhipment activities, thereby allowing transhipment to continue in a legal and safe manner. We have proposed Cost Optimisation Based Adaptive clustering (COBAC) algorithm that takes into consideration various operational cost and provides the location of establishment of the wirelessly operating transhipment stations in the ocean. The performance of the proposed transhipment was compared with random, greedy and heuristic approaches. Also, the experimentation results show that our proposed COBAC algorithm consumes one-tenth execution time as compared to Brute force clustering and produced result with 0.1% relative error.
