Authors: Nemény Dorka Virág , Tóth Balázs István
Published: November 2023

As digitalisation has become increasingly crucial for economic growth, competitiveness and sustainable development, digital development and digital transformation have been of concern in the European Union for the last decades. The study aims to analyse the digital divide and classify the NUTS-2 regions of Central and South-East European transition economies according to similar digitalisation levels between 2016 and 2021. After setting out the necessary terminological background on digital divide and providing an overview on the key areas of action to promote digital development and transition in the EU, a database of seven ICT-related indicators from Eurostat was compiled for 49 regions and multidimensional scaling was applied for exploring the similarities and differences between them. An important conclusion is that there is still a sharp divide among the regions of the European transition economies. It is also found that regions belonging to the same country are more similar than different, and digitalisation characteristics have not changed in relative terms. The study may contribute to the deeper understanding, ongoing discussion, and fruitful debate of the situation of digitalisation on both European and sub-national levels.

RNN-Based Time Series Analysis for Wind Turbine Energy Forecasting
Authors: ÇELEBİ Selahattin Barış , FİDAN Şehmus
Published: November 2023

One significant source of renewable energy is wind power, which has the potential to generate sustainable energy. However, wind turbines have many challenges, such as high initial investment costs, the dynamic nature of wind speed, and the challenge of locating wind-efficient energy regions. Wind power predicting is crucial for effective planning of wind power generation, optimization of power generation, grid integration, and security of supply. Therefore, highly accurate forecasts ensure the efficient and sustainable operation of the wind energy sector and contribute to energy security, economic stability, and environmental sustainability. This study proposes a deep learning (DL) approach based on recurrent neural networks (RNNs) for long-term wind power forecasting utilizing climatic data. The input data that forms the basis of this study is obtained directly from a wind turbine system operating under real-world conditions. The proposed model in this study is based on a multilayer back-propagation neural network (RNN) architecture specifically designed to effectively handle complex data sets and time-dependent series. The architecture of the model is built on an RNN consisting of four separate layers, each with 50 hidden neurons, carefully structured to increase its capacity to capture complex features. To improve the robustness of the model and avoid overlearning, each RNN layer is followed by a dropout (regularizing) layer that randomly deactivates 20% of the neurons to enhance the generalization ability of the network. To finalize the prediction capability of the model, a linear function was chosen in the last layer to directly match the actual values. Evaluating the model performance metrics, the proposed architecture achieved a prediction accuracy of 91% R2 on the test dataset. The findings indicate that proposed method based on multilayer RNN can successfully capture the relationships between the sequential data of the wind turbine.

Christina Rossetti’s Divided Psyche And İts Reflection İn Her Poetry: “Goblin Market”
Authors: MIZRAK Begüm Sude , DAĞOĞLU Tülay
Published: November 2023

Christina Rossetti’s entire life is all about her struggle against the tension between contrasting identities: literary and religious. Thus, her work is a reflection of her endeavour to balance both the societal and religious dichotomies, generated by the contradictions and complexities of the Victorian era. The role of religious reading in Rossetti's life and its impact on her poetry is undeniable, highlighting her speculative critique of restrictive gender roles and ideals of purity coerced by Christianity. Furthermore, societal expectations of Victorian womanhood and their influence on Rossetti's self reflect the multitudinous complexities of the female identity in her work. Such is the inconclusive Christianity in her soul’s quest behind duality and vacillation in her work, stemming from and leading to a divided psyche. The study aims to investigate Rossetti’s divided psyche oscillating between rebellious and compliant through the contrasting characters of Laura and Lizzie in "Goblin Market" to explore her ambivalent imagination of the female agency and the conventional gender roles that are underpinned by the Christian theology in her poetic exploration of the Victorian woman.
The value of historical and archaeological data in understanding patterns of long term coastal change
Authors: Momber Garry , Satchell Julie , Gillespie Jan , Mason Brandon , Noble-Shelly Jasmine
Published: November 2023

The historical evolution of the coastline has been determined by the fluctuating relationship between land and sea. This process can be assessed to provide valuable information on trends that contribute to our understanding of past and current coastal change scenarios. These changes were initially dominated by the marine transgression following the last Ice Age, but the pace of sea level rise slowed and an equilibrium became established. This natural balance remained relatively stable until it was influenced by humans. 

Where early archaeological material can be dated and contextualised within the landscape it provides evidence of the changing physical environment. Prehistoric structures act as datums that can be used to demonstrate how settlements were overwhelmed by rising sea level and they can indicate how populations reacted to the loss of land. In historical times, when sea levels were comparable to modern conditions, humans became more proactive along the coastline. Some of the alterations they made did not take into account weathering and as a consequence storm events could be destructive. These incidents were often recorded within historical, and artistic sources, that, along with the archaeological data, can be used to interpret the long-term impact of natural and human influences along the coast. Additionally, artistic representations can be used to make the story accessible to a wide range of people. 

This paper will assess the under-used archaeological, historical and palaeo-environmental information within the English Channel and southern North Sea coast as data sources to provide insights into the impact of human activities along the coastline from the early Holocene, into the Anthropocene and to the mid-twentieth century. This research is being conducted within the Sustainable and Resilient Coastal Cities project (SARCC) and it concludes that while some human interventions have been positive, many have been counterproductive.

Published: November 2023

Importance: Clinical practice guidelines for infants at high risk of cerebral palsy (CP) emphasize the importance of very early and intensive intervention.

Objective: To determine the feasibility of a new, home-based, early intensive bimanual stimulation program (BB–Bim) and its impact on hand function in infants at risk of unilateral CP.

Design: Single case experimental design, multiple baseline across subjects, lasting from 12 to 15 wk, including a 4- to 7-wk randomized baseline, followed by 8 wk of BB–Bim.

Setting: Home.

Participants: Infants (ages 3–12 mo) with suspected unilateral CP, whose parents agreed to participate in the stimulation program.

Intervention: Parent-provided bimanual stimulation 20 min/day, 6×/wk, with weekly occupational therapist coaching visits.

Measures: Weekly repeated measures were the Hand Assessment in Infants (HAI) and Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS). Feasibility and relevance were assessed with a logbook and a parental report, including 10 continuous 0–10 scaled questions.

Results: Six infants were included (2 with left and 4 with right brain lesions). Parents provided a mean 3.4 to 6.2 stimulation sessions/wk. Feasibility and relevance were highly rated (Ms = 8.2–9.6, SDs = 0.2–1.3). Stimulation significantly improved HAI bimanual and total scores for all infants, with no impact on HAI unilateral scores. GAS scores improved with stimulation (significant for 3 infants).

Conclusions and Relevance: BB–Bim was feasible and tended to improve bimanual function in infants at risk of unilateral CP.

What This Article Adds: Parent-provided daily bimanual stimulation at home is feasible when parents are coached weekly by an occupational therapist. Bimanual stimulation seems to improve functional interactions between the hands among infants at high risk of unilateral CP.

The objectives of this research were to find out the impact and obstacles that QuillBot's utilization as an online technology faced on students’ academic writing. This research used a phenomenological qualitative design. The subjects were eight students who participated in this research. This research used an interview guide to collect the data. The result showed that the impact of QuillBot as an online technology on students’ academic writing has a positive and negative impact, where the positive is that QuillBot can help students save their time to write the academic writing process, increase their vocabulary, and help in the writing process with the complexity, objectivity, formality, and hedging aspects of academic writing itself. The negative impact indicates the students’ dependence on QuillBot tools, where they become lazy to think and do not use their ability to write their academic writing. Finally, there were the obstacles that students encountered while using QuillBot, such as a bad network and a lack of clear instructions on how to upgrade to the premium version.

Authors: Silva Emilly Emiliano da
Published: November 2023

O presente estudo aborda sobre o assédio eleitoral apresentando o seu conceito, as suas formas, características, o poder hierárquico do empregador, as influências e discriminação no meio laboral, casos julgados em jurisprudência, indenização por danos morais e os meios de denúncias junto ao Ministério Público do Trabalho. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de cunho bibliográfico, realizada por meio de pesquisas sobre o assunto, levantamentos sobre os dados e as eleições nos últimos anos. O objetivo principal é compreender a extensão desse problema, seus métodos e as implicações no processo democrático, avaliar o impacto desse fenômeno nas eleições como um todo, compreender como é perpetrado e identificar maneiras de coibi-lo. Além disso, a pesquisa visa analisar como as leis eleitorais, como o Código Eleitoral, Lei nº 4.737 de 15 de Julho de 1965 e a Lei das Eleições nº 9.504 de 30 de Setembro de 1997 podem ser aplicadas para prevenir e punir o assédio eleitoral. Essas medidas tem como objetivo combinar a proteção do trabalhador, visto o mais vulnerável, que muitas das vezes se torna vítima, tendo seus direitos fundamentais violados.
COMPROVAÇÃO DA QUALIDADE DE SEGURADO DA TRABALHADORA RURAL: UM ESTUDO SOB A PERSPECTIVA DO PRINCÍPIO DA ISONOMIA
Authors: Lino Júlia Fernanda da Silva , Neves Isadora Ferreira
Published: November 2023

Este artigo tematiza a situação normativa do sujeito mulher em relação à pretensão de obtenção da qualidade de segurada à luz do princípio da isonomia. Para tanto, mobilizam-se os conceitos de interseccionalidade, conteúdo jurídico do princípio da igualdade, bem como aqueles relativos ao sistema jurídico previdenciário operacionalizados na conjuntura legislativa hodierna e nas fontes doutrinárias. Visa-se a problematizar e evidenciar resquícios do sistema patriarcal presente no atual Direito Previdenciário. Combinam-se as perspectivas metodológicas bibliográfico-exploratória, para consulta e revisão de literatura associada à técnica de pesquisa documental. Entende-se que a trabalhadora rural encontra óbices jurídicos, factuais e valorativos para a concretização de seus direitos fundamentais, precipuamente devido à ausência de valoração e reconhecimento do seu labor, questão em relação a que este artigo pretende fornecer contributos teórico-analíticos e interdisciplinares. Espera-se que os resultados revelem padrões de gênero, identifiquem barreiras ao acesso à justiça e forneçam elementos para políticas públicas e possam contribuir para melhorias institucionais. Além disso, o presente artigo tem o potencial de enriquecer a literatura acadêmica, promover mudanças práticas e ampliar o diálogo sobre princípio da isonomia e de gênero.
UBERIZAÇÃO: UMA ANÁLISE CRÍTICA DOS ELEMENTOS ESSENCIAIS À CONFIGURAÇÃO DA RELAÇÃO DE EMPREGO
Authors: Santos Gabriela Silva , Duarte Icaro de Souza
Published: November 2023

O presente trabalho objetivou estudar sobre o fenômeno da “uberização” e seus reflexos para a relação de trabalho, com o intuito de se demonstrar se há ou não vínculo empregatício nessa relação e se tal fenômeno evidencia a precariedade dos direitos do trabalhador. Percebe-se que tal fenômeno está amplamente ligado a num novo modelo capitalista, conhecido como “capitalismo colaborativo”, no qual possui como principal característica, o compartilhamento de recursos humanos. Entretanto, tal viés econômico urge efeitos negativos ao trabalhador sob a ótica do Direito do Trabalho brasileiro, haja vista a alteração do vínculo trabalhista que, aparentemente, é inexistente nessa relação. Mesmo se evidenciando todos os elementos da relação de emprego, muito se questiona, na rede jurídica, sobre o tema. Sendo assim, percebe-se que a uberização é um acontecimento derivado de crises econômicas, e representa para o trabalhador um mecanismo que, até então, ignora alguns de seus direitos. Conclui-se que existem na jurisprudência, majoritariamente, decisões que negam o vínculo. Para se chegar às conclusões, a metodologia adotada foi a de revisão bibliográfica-documental indutiva.
A DECISÃO DO STF NO HC Nº 154.248/DF: O PROBLEMA DO ATIVISMO JUDICIAL NA EQUIPARAÇÃO DO RACISMO À INJÚRIA RACIAL
Authors: Divino Rosinara Miranda do Amor , Neves Isadora Ferreira
Published: November 2023

O presente trabalho propõe uma discussão sobre a decisão do STF no HC 154.248/DF, que equipara o racismo à injúria racial. Em 2020, o relator do caso, ministro Edson Fachin, votou pela equiparação da injúria racial (artigo 140, parágrafo 3 do Código Penal de 1940), ao crime de racismo previsto pela Lei 7.716/1989). O objetivo deste trabalho é a análise do entendimento do STF que levou à decisão de equiparar a injúria racial ao racismo. Embora estejam correlacionados, o conceito de racismo, discriminação e preconceito não são iguais.  Objetiva-se, portanto, analisar a decisão do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) que equiparou o a injúria racial ao crime de racismo. O interesse principal é fazer uma reflexão sobre o referido julgamento, a partir da problemática contemporânea do ativismo judicial. O tema divide opiniões e desperta criticidade no cidadão, coisa que outrora era inimaginável pensar que o Poder Judiciário pudesse tomar decisões que não fossem baseadas na integridade do direito e/ou que a Constituição Federal não fosse o principal caminho para decisões e julgamentos. O método utilizado na pesquisa foi o bibliográfico de enfoque exploratório e qualitativo, para consulta e revisão de literatura, permitindo, buscar informações acerca do problema, obtendo-se estudos mais recentes sobre a interpretação/aplicação do direito contemporâneo, interpretação constitucional, democracia e dos limites à atuação criativa da Suprema Corte brasileira, notadamente, no tocante à equiparação do racismo à injúria racial.

Abstract. In this paper, we propose an update of the spatial probability map for flank eruptions from Etna (Italy), based on the distribution of the flank eruptive fissures that opened in the last 4000 years. The general procedure followed is to split the fissure dataset into training and testing subsets; then we build models on the training subset under different assumptions and test them on their likelihood of the testing subset. This allows selecting objectively the best models and assumptions. Furthermore, it allows testing whether (i) unavoidable incompleteness in the mapped fissures, and (ii) possible migration through time in the location of the flank activity, have an effect on the training models that can or cannot be neglected. We used different spatial models by exploiting different Kernel functions (Exponential, Cauchy, Uniform, and Gaussian), and calculated the degree of clustering of flank fissures in the training data. The results show that neither under-recording nor possible migration in time affect significantly the informativeness of the previous flank fissures in forecasting the location of the successive ones. Our study provides a canonical map of the spatial probability for future flank eruptions at Etna based on the location of flank fissures that opened in the last 4000 years. The map confirms a preferred location along a Northeast-to-South area, corresponding to the location of the most active rifts. It also shows that the Southern flank of the volcano, which is the most urbanized one, sits downhill of the largest cumulated-probability area for flank eruption. We also run sensitivity analyses to test the effect of (i) restricting the data to the most recent 400 years, and (ii) including the information on the unclamping stress induced on the mapped fissures by sources of deformation proposed in literature for recent eruptions of Etna. The results of the sensitivity analyses confirm the main features of the canonical map, and add information on the epistemic uncertainty attached to it.
