Authors: Singh Megha , Lee Jae Seung
Published: December 2024

Every human has a right to live their life according to their own will. No one should be compelled to live for others or to live to guard someone else's honour. In the context of Honour Killing, a person or especially a woman is forced to live according to the morals of the society, norms or principles made for them. If they go against any of these principles, norms or morals, they are considered as characterless or impure and is said to have shamed their family or the community and brought dishonour to the family. Honour Killing is the murder of a women or young girl by the male family members, community, tribe or people related to clan for being accused of bringing dishonour to the family. The present chapter contains a brief overview about honour killing and the reasons for its prevalence in the ancient as well as in the modern world.

Cognitive Strands of Honor Killing
Authors: Mall Praveen Kumar , Kulshrestha Anusha
Published: December 2024

This chapter deems to highlight the misguided views of honor and the marginalization of those who deemed to be violators of this heinous crime. These thought processes are further cemented by social pressures and the fear of rejection. In order to question and alter the deeply held beliefs that support honor killings it is essential to comprehend the cognitive component of these crimes which are dealt with substantially in the chapter. Cultural traditions that have been entrenched over many generations can lead to a skewed sense of responsibility and honor, which results in people willing to go to great lengths to defend their perceived family honor. Furthermore, the chapter will highlight how humans justify violent behaviors as a way to restore honor by balancing their personal convictions with societal standards which can lead to cognitive dissonance. The cognitive strand is sustained by deeply ingrained gender norms that reinforce the idea that women are responsible for maintaining family honor.

Authors: Sharma Bharti , Kumar Omprakash , Singh Mandeep
Published: December 2024

Despite the widespread recognition of the advantages of formal settlement upgrading for economic growth and housing, its potential to improve health equity is largely overlooked. Slums, informal settlements in urban areas, are expected to house more than one in seven individuals of the global population by 2030. In general parlance, slum upgrades are mainly considered a step in the comprehensive aspect of applying critical measures to enhance the overall well-being of the urban impoverished. The proposed methods and solutions for slum upgrading have the potential to resolve a variety of environmental health issues effectively. Only a few urban slum upgrading studies conducted in cities across Asia, Africa, and Latin America have effectively captured the various health benefits of upgrading. Slum upgrading can be regarded as a substantial strategy for enhancing health, promoting equitable development, and reducing climate change vulnerabilities, as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are dedicated to enhancing the well-being of billions of urban residents.
Repeated short-term thermal stress and its impact on reproductive fitness in parthenium beetle, Zygogramma bicolorata (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
Authors: Patel Arvind Kumar , Yadav Priyanka , Kumar Bhupendra
Published: December 2024

Insects experience variable temperature conditions in their natural environment, making constant temperature conditions in studies unrealistic. To address this, we investigated the effects of repeated short-term heat stress (STH) and short-term cold stress (STC) conditions on the pre-oviposition, oviposition, and post-oviposition periods, as well as on fecundity and egg viability of the parthenium beetle, Zygogramma bicolorata Pallister (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). We found that pre-oviposition periods were shortest under STH conditions and at the optimal temperature and longest under STC conditions. Conversely, oviposition and post-oviposition periods were longest at the optimal temperature. Oviposition periods were shortest under STH, whereas post-oviposition periods were shortest under both STH and STC conditions. Age-specific fecundity trends were triangular, and egg-viability trends were plateau-shaped at all temperatures. Females subjected to STH conditions experienced the highest oviposition peaks early in their adult life. Conversely, lifetime fecundity and longevity were highest at the optimal temperature, whereas egg viability was maximal under STH conditions. Regardless of the temperature they were maintained at, middle-aged females exhibited the highest fecundity and egg viability. Based on these results, despite reducing overall fecundity and longevity, STH conditions enhanced daily oviposition in females, with the peak occurring early in adult life. Additionally, both STH and STC conditions increased percentage egg viability in parthenium beetles.
TV Series Based on Video Games as a Crossing Point of Narrative Forms
Authors: Dimitrova Valchanova Zlаtina
Published: December 2024

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in creating TV series based on video games. They are based on the audiovisual aesthetics of popular games and turn them into television shows. This paper examines the interaction between the two types of screen narratives through a comparative analysis of genre, development of main characters, and plot in three examples. ‘Halo’ (2022) draws inspiration from the main storylines in the popular game but adds new ones and makes changes to the characters' features, making the story more understandable for the TV audience. This is required by the genre of the video game, which relies on fight scenes and limits the possibilities for interpretation. ‘The Last of Us’ (2023) is an example of a successful video game adaptation, as the series not only preserves the visual aesthetic of the source material, but also faithfully recreates the main characters, their features and relationships. ‘The Witcher’ (2019) is an adaptation of both books and games. As the plot develops, the episodes move away from the essence and the source material, which negatively affects the viewer's perception. The examples in this article indicate that there is no one universal method to adapting a videogame into a television production, and the particular approach is chosen depends on both the creators of the series, the specifics of the videogame and the extent to which it is suitable for adaptation. However, all three case studies highlight the importance of the visual code of the source material for its truthful adaptation into a TV series.
Postculture Influence on Generation “Z”
Authors: Vinarova Milena
Published: December 2024

This article aims to identify the characteristic features of postculture influencing the understanding of culture of generation Z. Culture itself is not seen as a kindred culture and spirit, but as an action and sensibility that passes from generation to generation in the context of social culture. The link between postculture and Generation Z is recognized in their intolerance of the status quo. Benefits are created from strategic synergies that lead to the positive symbiosis of cultural requirements among young people. It is no coincidence that Generation Z is the first with an innate adaptability to change. The research is based on statistical data from inquiries made to representatives of Gen "Z". The main thesis is that the focus of the generally accepted traditional culture is shifting to the new culturally modernist influences in a digital environment accompanying the everyday life of the generation.

Authors: MIHĂILESCU Natalia , COVALENCO Maria
Published: December 2024

Evaluation plays a very important role in pedagogical activity. It is the process by which educational sequences are validated, but also a means of delimiting, fixing and intervening on educational contents and objectives. The main purpose of assessing the obtained school competences is the correction and continuous improvement of the teaching-learning process. As an action integrated into the educational process, evaluation is primarily a pedagogical action, having formative actions and involving objectives, methods, techniques and means specific to educational action, so that the pedagogical point of view should not be missing from any analysis on evaluation. However, evaluation is also a social institution, formalized and legally regulated, it imprints a social dimension on teaching and learning outcomes, conditions graduation and access to the steps of the education system, is the basis for social recognition of studies. The social and economic functions of evaluation therefore also require a sociological and economic approach to it. School evaluation goes beyond the strict framework of the school’s educational process. Evaluating students, we also evaluate teachers, the quality of teaching teaching. We can say that each school grade, each performance of students are the result of many factors, from individual to social, representing a significant indicator of efficiency for all components of the educational process. Evaluation takes place in a psycho-social field of forces interacting with each other, made up of interpersonal relationships, representations, attitudes, motivations, mentalities, so that evaluation can and must be approached from a psychosocial perspective.

Insider-Outsider Research, Qualitative Discovery, and the Enhancement of Social Justice
Authors: Abbas Randa , Court Deborah
Published: December 2024

We have for over twenty years researched the Israeli Druze community in an insider- outsider research partnership, coming to deep understanding of the family and communal factors that limit the access of Druze and Muslim women to higher education and academic and professional advancement. These research insights have enabled us, in the academic institution where we work, to enact practices that increase academic and professional access for these women. While we did not plan this as a research focus or goal, we have lately come, in inductive fashion, to the realization that this is social justice work. According to John Rawls, social justice means fair distribution of resources, but this conception does not go far enough. Extending Rawls, Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum suggest that even when resources are distributed according to fair rules of law, personal, social and communal factors can inhibit individuals and groups from being fully capable of exploiting resources. This is true especially of women in societies where their freedom of choice is restricted. In this article we describe specific practices we have instituted that increase access and success for these women in our college. And we celebrate the unexpected discoveries that qualitative research can afford.
PROPOSAL FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE COSTS OF REMEDIAL ACTIONS WITH A CROSS-BORDER IMPACT

The distribution of the costs of remedial actions with cross-border impact is
an integral part of the process of ensuring the security of the transmission system at the
regional level.
Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1485 establishing a guideline on electricity
transmission system operation [1] that is adapted for application in the Energy Community,
in Article 75 provides for the adoption of a methodology for the coordination of operational
security analyses. Furthermore, Article 76 regulates the way of adoption and the content of
this methodology and states that its integral part is also the distribution of the costs of
remedial actions. Also, this regulation states that, in principle, congestion costs with cross-
border impact are borne by transmission system operators in proportion to the negative
impact of energy exchange between the relevant control areas on the congested network
element. Let's note that this formulation also allows for other ways of distributing the costs
of remedial actions, which was used to elaborate the distribution of costs explained in this
paper within the framework of the European project Reliability, Resilience and Defense
technology for the Grid (R2D2).
In the Western Balkans region, the transmission system operators have developed a
methodology for the coordination of operational security analysis, but without cost
distribution, and it is applied to users of the services of the regional coordination center SCC,
Belgrade. Unlike other regions, congestions in the network are not so common, but it is
noticeable that their number is increasing, so the issue of distributing the costs of remedial
actions becomes urgent to solve.
There are several approaches to cost allocation. For example, the costs may be borne
by the operator who activates the remedial action (which corresponds to the current situation
in our region without an agreement on cost sharing). Another approach is that the costs are
borne by the operator who requests the initiation of remedial action. The third approach
corresponds to the mentioned paragraph from Regulation 2017/1485 – this approach is also
called "polluter pays" by some.
The cost distribution proposal presented in this paper is based on the fact that
remedial actions can cause high costs, so the principle of certain socialization of costs would
be more appropriate in our region, i.e. more even distribution between the involved operators.
Also, it is assumed that the distribution of costs is applied to all remedial actions with cross-
border impact, which are the result of cost optimization and agreement of transmission
system operators in the region.

With the development of transmission networks at high voltage levels,
audible noise from high-voltage overhead lines is becoming an increasing issue faced by
transmission system operators worldwide. Addressing this problem requires significant
investments in existing lines and temporary outages during work. Therefore, it is essential
to implement a methodology for assessing noise levels in the vicinity of the designed line
during the design process or to assess the impact of proposed solutions for audible noise
mitigation on existing lines.
The rapid advancement of computers has enabled the introduction of mathematical
modeling and the use of numerical methods in everyday engineering practice, with various
software packages used for detailed analysis and calculation of relevant physical
quantities. For the purpose of assessing audible noise levels around overhead lines, i.e.
noise mapping, a methodology has been developed using one of the industry-standard
noise prediction softwares. This method, described in the paper, can be used during the
design of overhead lines.

In this paper, an innovative method of managing the maintenance of the
electric transmission network based on the application of intelligent land maps is
proposed, contrary to the existing traditional approaches to maintenance. The process of
creating intelligent land maps, the method of collection, processing, analysis and display
of digital data of interest for the maintenance of the power transmission network is
described. The relevant aspects of the application of the geographic information system
(GIS) for the integration of geography with other relevant data such as technical data,
compliance with regulations and technical recommendations, insight into work records,
visual inspection and the results of photographic and thermal imaging were reviewed.
Based on the available data, the method of assessing the urgency of the intervention on
individual elements is described, as well as the prediction of potential weak points. A
part of the electrical transmission system of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) was selected
for the analysis of the application of GIS, and a unique database of attribute, spatial,
technical and topological data on transmission lines (TL), power plants and transformer
stations (TS) was formed in order to obtain a system fully capable for the analysis of
operational readiness of power facilities.

Meningkatnya pengetahuan masyarakat akan pelayanan kesehatan, khususnya rumah sakit serta persaingan bisnis yang semakin ketat, maka pelayanan kesehatan di rumah sakit harus mampu memberikan kepada pasien terkait pelayanan kesehatan yang prima. Oleh karena itu, rumah sakit dituntunt selalu menjaga kepercayaan dengan meningkatkan perilaku caring dan pengalaman pasien agar kualitas pelayanan rumah sakit menjadi lebih baik. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menganalisis mengenai pengaruh perilaku caring dan pengalaman pasien terhadap kualitas pelayanan rawat inap rumah sakit dengan kepercayaan pasien sebagai variabel intervening. Metode penelitian yang digunakan yakni metode deskriptif kuantitatif. Responden dalam penelitian ini merupakan pasien rawat inap rumah sakit. Pemilihan sampel penelitian menggunakan teknik purposive sampling sehingga responden pada penelitian ini sebanyak 250 pasien rawat inap rumah sakit. Teknik analisis yang digunakan adalah Partial Least Square – Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa caring dan pengalaman pasien berpengaruh terhadap kepercayaan, caring tidak berpengaruh terhadap kualitas pelayanan, namun pengalaman pasien berpengaruh terhadap kualitas pelayanan, serta caring dan pengalaman pasien berpengaruh terhadap kualitas pelayanan dengan kepercayaan sebagai variabel intervening. Hal ini berarti peningakatn kualitas pelayanan didapatkan melalui kepercayaan pasien dengan perilaku caring dan pengalaman pasien, Implikasi hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa manajemen rumah sakit dapat melakukan peningkatan kualitas pelayanan dengan cara perbaikan pada indikator setiap variabel. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perilaku pengalaman pasien memberikan pengaruh terbesar terhadap kualitas pelayanan.

This study examines the impact of the volatility of oil price on economic growth in Sub-Saharan African countries from the period of 2006-2021. Broadly, this study aims to investigate the impact of oil price volatility on economic growth in Sub-Saharan African Countries, looking particularly at Gross Domestic Product and exchange rate, Gross Capital Formation, and FDI as key variables that provide an indication of economic well-being. Four top Net oil exporting countries were selected for the study. The countries selected are Nigeria, Angola, Egypt and Algeria, as they form major oil-exporting countries in Sub-Saharan Africa with stable historical data. Panel data were used for the analysis. Panel Pooled OLS, Panel Fixed Effect Model and Generalized Method of Moment model were employed in the estimation for oil price volatility in sub-Saharan African countries. The estimation of the panel model for the oil exporting countries shows that the volatility of oil price has a positive and significant effect on the economic growth of oil exporting countries. The study recommends, among others, that Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) will increase capital inflows to these oil-exporting countries, promoting growth and employment. More so, corruption must be checked or controlled as it erodes investors’ confidence. Countries in oil exporting countries should invest in human capital, build infrastructure, and create independent institutions dealing with corrupt public officials who steal oil revenues.
