Published: January 2023

Pencapaian target penerimaan pajak bumi dan bangunan  tidak dapat dijadikan acuan atau ukuran untuk menentukkan tingkat kesadaran masyarakat. Upaya yang dilakukan oleh petugas desa untuk dapat mengajak wajib pajak serta masyarakat dalam pemberian penyuluhan, peningkatan pelayanan serta dalam pemberian penghargaan dapat meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat untuk membayar PBB karena kesadaran membayar pajak bumi dan bangunan itu timbul dari diri pribadi wajib pajak sendiri, maka pada hakikatnya membayar PBB merupakan salah satu perwujudan kegotong-royongan nasional dalam membantu pembangunan nasional. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif. lokasi penelitian di Desa Tarogong, Kecamatan Tarogong Kidul. pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara mendalam dengan wajib pajak, petugas kecamatan serta petugas desa. Selain itu digunakan pula beberapa data dan dokumen untuk menunjang kelengkapan dan kedalaman informasi yang dibutuhkan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada 4 faktor yang mempengaruhi rendahnya kesadaran wajib pajak dalam membayar PBB yaitu: (1) kurangnya informasi dari pihak pemerintah kepada rakyat/wajib pajak, (2) adanya kebocoran didalam penarikan pajak, (3) adanya penyebab kultural antara lain kondisi wajib pajak belum memiliki uang, dan  (4),faktor  ekonomi yaitu kondisi wajib pajak  yang miskin sehingga sulit membayar pajak bumi dan bangunan.
Psychoemotional States of Men and Women in Separation from Their Families
Authors: TAVROVETSKA NATALIIA , VELDBREKHT OLENA
Published: January 2023

Due to the fighting, forced separation from family has become an urgent problem for many Ukrainians. The purpose of this study is to empirically investigate the impact of separation from family members on the psychoemotional state of men and women in war conditions. 332 respondents were interviewed using the following methods: the Cohen Perceived Stress Scale, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, the hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and the positive and negative affect questionnaire by A. Klimanska, I. Haletska, the “List of traumatic events” questionnaire. Statistical analysis included a comparison of groups identified by the criterion of separation from relatives: 1) separated from a spouse or romantic partner, 2) separated from children, 3) separated from parents, 4) separated from many family members at once; 5) members of the control group had no changes in family composition. The results showed that the effects of family separation depend on gender. The absence of a male partner did not substantially affect the indicators of the psychoemotional state of Ukrainian women in the first weeks of the war. During the separation from blood relatives, negative changes were expressed in the actualisation of fears and vulnerability to possible dangers, and in the loss of a sense of joy (during separation from children); inattention, and confusion (during separation from parents). Compensatory mobilisation processes, increased vigilance, and concentration were identified in women who are globally separated from their families. Men were substantially less affected by separation from their relatives and showed an increase in the reaction of indignation. Therewith, the male and female subsamples did not substantially differ in the level of stress tolerance, resiliency, manifestations of depression and anxiety; but they differed in the perception of stress, the severity of positive and negative emotions. Women were more acutely aware of the uncertainty and tension of the life situation, their emotional reactions were dominated by depression, frustration, and anxiety. In turn, men in a war situation expressed more active reactions (concentration, determination, etc.), which prevailed over passivenegative ones. It is concluded that separation from the family threatens the psychological well-being and social adaptation of people who were forced to leave their homes due to the war. The obtained data help to better understand both the sources of psychotrauma and the resources for overcoming negative psychoemotional states in a situation of separation and suggest appropriate ways of psychological and social assistance

Authors: HABOVDA OLGA
Published: January 2023

The relevance of the study is due to the continuous development of automated design systems and global trends in the digital transformation of production at all levels of the product life cycle. Since one of the main principles of education is integration with science and production, this integration is the main condition for its further development and a factor in ensuring its quality. The product life cycle begins with project design, which students of technical specialities begin to master by studying descriptive geometry, engineering, and computer graphics. In this course, the skills of working in automated design systems are pawned, so its teaching should take place using updated technologies that the present needs. The purpose of the study is to analyse the experience of teaching graphic disciplines in higher educational institutions and to substantiate the methods of studying the discipline “Engineering and computer graphics” based on the author’s experience, considering trends in the development of digital production. The research work was conducted using general scientific methods by analysing scientific-technical information on the subjects covered and using the method of pedagogical experiment. The study suggests using computer-aided design systems starting with the study of descriptive geometry, provides practical ways to solve classical problems of descriptive geometry by means of automated design systems, defines the minimum skills within the course to ensure further assimilation of the capabilities of automated design systems in special courses, during the implementation of course projects and to reduce the period of adaptation of the future specialist to professional activities. The practical importance of the research is in the development of a methodology for the transition from conventional methods of studying descriptive geometry, which involve the use of drawing tools, to modern ones using computer-aided design systems, which contributes to their accelerated mastering by students to further apply them in the study of technical disciplines

Authors: Хрысева Анна Александровна , Акимова Акимова Ольга Евгеньевна , Волков Сергей Константинович
Published: January 2023

Более половины беднейших людей мира в настоящее время живут в сельских территориях, а их доходы преимущественно зависят от мелкого сельского хозяйства. Вследствие интенсификации процессов индустриализации и урбанизации сельские территории подвергаются влиянию различных видов природных и антропогенных факторов, которые вызывают проблемы с демографическими, природными и культурными ресурсами. Креативность представляется одним из ответов на упадок в сельской местности, связанный с переходом общества от эры сельского хозяйства через индустриальную эру к экономике знаний. Главной целью нашего исследования является анализ возможностей и направлений формирования креативных центров развития сельских территорий в рамках пространственной концепции. Основной задачей данной статьи является исследование проблемы формирования креативных центров сельского творчества с особым акцентом на специфике творческой деятельности. В данном исследовании применен методологический подход, основанный на анализе экономических видов деятельности в сельских территориях, что принципиально меняет перспективу рассмотрения данного вопроса и позволяет реализовать поставленную цель. В статье были выделены четыре модели креативных центров, предназначенные для комплексного развития сельских территорий, основанные на культурном наследии и формировании новых уникальных производств, а также создании конкурентоспособных продуктов с использованием преимуществ креативных кластеров, творческих индустрий и современных туристических услуг. Проведенное исследование позволяет сделать вывод о том, что развитие креативных центров в сельских территориях должно носить комплексный характер и быть основанным на государственной поддержке в определении уникальных условий идентичности для каждой конкретной местности. Формирование креативных центров может стать инструментом антикризисной экономики, который позволит обеспечить социально-экономическое и культурное развитие сельских территорий, а также привлечь потенциальных инвесторов и улучшить туристический потенциал.

О корректировке целеполагания российской промышленной стратегии и экологической повестки в условиях турбулентной экономической среды
Authors: Авилова Вилора Вадимовна
Published: January 2023

Импульсом к научному переосмыслению приоритетов промышленной политики является радикальное изменение внешних и внутренних экономических реалий, требующее обоснованных решений о сохранении главных задач промышленного развития последних лет – достижения принципов устойчивости и климатической повестки или их корректировки. Проблемой является грамотное ранжирование провозглашенных ранее задач для оценки степени их востребованности в современных условиях, актуальности, эффективности и выполнимости. Отказ от реализации части из них может обернуться нарастанием технологического отставания от мировых промышленных лидеров, что со временем негативно повлияет на глобальную конкурентоспособность российских предприятий. Важен анализ внутренней готовности предприятий к продолжению данного курса и наличия реальных возможностей для его осуществления. В связи с тем, что принципы устойчивого развития и реализация климатической повестки сами явились новыми ориентирами промышленной стратегии, а изменения внешней среды произошли в еще более поздний период, их научное сопровождение является только зарождающимся. Между тем, речь шла о глобальной ревизии применяемых технологий, перестройке ресурсной базы, о новых приемах сетевого взаимодействия на основе широкомасштабного распространения цифровых технологий вдоль всей технологической цепочки: от проектирования, оснащения и управления производством до сбыта продукции. В этой связи целью исследования является выявление оставшихся актуальными недавно провозглашенных приоритетов промышленного развития, отказ от ставших неэффективными программ, выработка дополнительных рекомендаций по целям технологического развития отечественных предприятий, то есть по развитию стратегии промышленного развития страны с учетом макро-, мезо- и микропараметров. Методами исследования явились экспертные оценки специалистов по промышленному развитию, включая глав ряда регионов, руководителей крупнейших промышленных компаний, применение материалов анкетирования по кругу анализируемых вопросов. Основным результатом является вывод о сохранении на уровне субъектов Российской Федерации и ее ведущих экономических игроков приверженности к реализации стратегии устойчивого развития, снижения углеродного следа, циркулярной экономики при изменении темпов осуществления и объемов проектов. Важную роль в этом процессе призваны сыграть меры государственного стимулирования и планомерное развитие инфраструктуры (цифровой, интеллектуальной, информационной, нормотворческой), которые также нуждаются в научной проработке и обосновании. Реализуемая последние годы климатическая повестка уже ввела в научный оборот ряд новых категорий, которые важно позиционировать в ландшафте научных изысканий для обогащения экономической теории.

Published: January 2023

В исследовании рассматривается создание адаптивной автоматизированной платформы для обучения иностранному языку на примере Английского языка. Адаптивность системы заключается в формировании образовательного контента в разных наиболее удобных для обучающегося формах: графика, звук, текст. Для реализации механизма определения наиболее удобной формы образовательного контента используются несколько архитектур искусственных нейронных сетей, которые обучаются на подготовленных данных. Данные для обучения искусственных нейронных сетей включают в себя текст – эссе, написанный учеником, и категорию ученика, выявленную в результате прохождения специализированного тестирования. Рассматриваются четыре категории обучающихся: аудиал, визуал, кинестетик, дигитал. С использованием разработанной и обученной искусственной нейронной сети создан прототип веб-ориентированной программной платформы, которая «предлагает» обучающемуся написать небольшое эссе на иностранном языке, после чего данный текст обрабатывается рекуррентной искусственной нейронной сетью, которая относит обучающегося к одному из четырех классов. Далее, в зависимости от определенной категории обучающегося, формируется образовательный контент в удобном для него виде. В то же время тестирование обученных нейронных сетей показывает, что объем обучающей выборки недостаточный. Таким образом, в перспективе планируется сформировать более насыщенную обучающую выборку для реализации более качественного обучения искусственной нейронной сети.

Published: January 2023

The goal of this study is to examine the nature of causal relations between COVID-19 related economic supports and real estate shocks in 58 countries over the period of January 1, 2020 and September 3, 2022. To carry out the research, we first decompose the positive and negative shocks of real estate prices for each country. Second, we apply the wavelet transformation to real estate price index shocks and Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Economic Support Index by using a discrete wavelet transform. Finally, we employ the fractional frequency flexible Fourier form Toda-Yamamoto causality test to obtain the causal relations. The results of the study show that in most countries, COVID-19 economic supports have causal effects on real estate prices. Real estate market reactions differ across different time periods. Most of the asymmetric responses of the market takes place in the medium- and long-term. Our results may provide valuable insights for policymakers to develop appropriate housing policies to create an environment for a stable real estate market and enhance price stability when monitoring real estate market developments.

Authors: Ali Zarqa Shaheen , Song Jiachen
Published: January 2023

Real estate is one of the industries that have been most affected by COVID-19. The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that affect customer use of New Zealand's real estate digital platforms. Trade Me and realestate.co.nz are the two most popular real estate digital platforms with the most significant number of homebuyers in New Zealand. This study uses the reviews on the two platforms from 2018 to 2021. There are a total of 1349 customer reviews on the two platforms, which represent the total population. A sample of 113 reviews from the realestate.co.nz platform and 113 reviews from the Trade Me platform are used for analysis. The findings show that perceived ease of use and usefulness, and information and system quality are the four main factors that affect the willingness of customers to use real estate digital platforms. After the spread of the pandemic, the impact of these factors on customer adoption of the platforms has been reduced. Therefore, the results of this study will be helpful in formulating and developing a digital marketing strategy for the New Zealand real estate industry in the post-pandemic era.
Forecasting COVID-19 Infection Rates with Artificial Intelligence Model
Authors: Yang Jesse Jingye
Published: January 2023

This study applies an artificial intelligence (AI) based model to predict the infection rate of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The results provide information for managing public and global health risks regarding pandemic controls, disease diagnosis, vaccine development, and socio-economic responses. The machine learning algorithm is developed with the Python program to analyze pathways and evolutions of infection. The finding is robust in predicting the virus spread situation. The machine learning algorithms predict the rate of spread of COVID -19 with an accuracy of nearly 90%. The algorithms simulate the virus spread distance and coverage. We find that self-isolation for suspected cases plays an important role in containing the pandemic. The COVID-19 virus could spread asymptotically (silent spreader); therefore, earlier doctor consultation and testing of the virus could reduce its spread in local communities.

On June 12, 2016, the world witnessed one of the deadliest single shooter massacres in U.S. history. Fifty persons were killed and fifty-three were critically injured. Of those fifty, twenty-three were Puerto Rican; 90% of those killed were Latinx. Their faces spanned the racial kaleidoscope of the African, Latinx, and Indigenous diaspora. Most of them were working class and extremely young (Ochoa 2016). However, these particularities went largely omitted from the coverage of the event that swept the nation under the label of an LGBTQ hate crime. The ubiquity of death of color in the U.S. cannot be overstated. Indeed, many pulses have been lost outside of Pulse nightclub. To many, June 12 may seem like a day among many, lost to the memorials of death no one really wants to remember. In this paper I explore June 12 as we turn the page on its sixth year of remembrance. I make the case for a reading of June 12 as more than an LGBTQ hate crime, but rather as emblematic of a battleground of a sacred space (Latin night at the gay bar) for queer bodies of color. The project establishes a more complex framework for understanding what took place on June 12 that can appreciate the ethno-racial, spiritual, and queer dimensions that foregrounded the event. I maintain that the method of analysis necessitates a different model of theorizing, one that can crystalize the sexuality of terrorism, the whiteness of homonationalism, and thereby the importance of creating sacred space for Latinx queer subjects, many of whom, in the context of June 12, form part of the Puerto Rican diaspora.
Unsettling Encounters: On the Ontological Significance of Habitual Racism
Authors: Loveless Tyler
Published: January 2023

The richness of the term “unsettling” has made it readily employable for phenomenological accounts of racism in philosophy of race literature; yet, the term has been left largely under-theorized. Here, I argue that unsettling encounters can be said to occur when the unfamiliar other has come into contact with the boundary of one’s existential home. For many white people, interracial interactions produce an (often unwarranted) feeling of physical danger, but as I hope to show, this habitual (mis)perception of such encounters is not merely a conditioned response; it also functions to subvert situations that might unsettle white identifies partially constituted by phenomenological demarcations of space along racial lines. Drawing on empirical literature and recent developments in critical phenomenology, I suggest that by exercising habitual, racist gestures and perceptions, white people (mis)perceive ontological threats to their worldview—e.g., a bookish Black student or a masculine gay man—as ontically threatening so as to avoid the kind of work and existential anguish that altering one’s normative expectations would require.
Sharing Time in We-Experiences: A Critical Merleau-Pontian Re-Reading of Schütz’ Tuning-In Relationship
Authors: Elliott Rachel
Published: January 2023

Schütz’ tuning-in relationship designates sharing time as the ground of we-experiences, but the Husserlian account of time that he relies upon for this argument seems to undermine the very possibility of doing so. I argue that Merleau-Ponty’s conception of temporality offers a more plausible account of shared time via the ‘transferability’ of the body schema. Disability theorists and critical phenomenologists, however, would remind us that any account of we-experiences must recognize bodily difference. I argue that bodies of diverse motilities can come to share a body schema without risk of ‘forced time compliance’ if we jettison synchronization and embrace improvisation as a paradigm for schematic sharing: I use the example of collective free improvisation to illustrate flexible, emergent, and bidirectional body schemas that, I claim, circumvent the assimilationist tendencies looming in any account of we-experiences premised upon bodily sameness.
Failed Democratic Transitions: Clientelism and Hand-Kissing in Contemporary Mexican Film
Authors: Dzero Irina
Published: January 2023

Clients of corrupt patrons experience a process of moral disintegration, but more importantly, they are instrumental in perpetuating the lack of accountability and corruption. The two film adaptations analyzed here, as well as Luis Estrada’s dark comedies, La ley de Herodes (1999), Un mundo maravilloso (2006), El infierno (2010), and Dictadura perfecta (2014), visualize these informal practices of moral and political submission as hand-kissing, exposing their ritualistic and physical nature. The two film adaptations I study here radically change their literary sources to portray sympathetic characters who submit themselves enthusiastically to a corrupt patron: Arráncame la vida (2008) and El crimen del padre Amaro (2002). The protagonists seek out patrons in order to get access to power and its benefits. The changes that filmmakers made illuminate the practice of clientelism: political subordination in exchange for material advantages, perceived as friendship or fictive kinship.

Excedente español en la Cuba postsoviética: Muerte de un murciano en La Habana (2006)
Authors: Valencia Marelys
Published: January 2023

This essay analyzes the visual strategies used in Muerte de un murciano en La Habana (2006), by Teresa Dovalpage, a novel that parodically interrogates the social impact of economic dynamics in post-Soviet Cuba, based on a scriptural enterprise that uses intertextuality and self-referentiality. The writer deploys a series of postmodern strategies in which both subjects and Spanish Baroque pictorial signs are mobilized and parodied in the same operation as they are relocated onto a specific local urban space: Havana. I propose here that the author includes herself, as Velázquez would do in Las Meninas, not to shed light on representational strategies, but to draw attention to the figure of the migrant writer in a regional linguistic market, who must capture the gaze of Spanish transnational publishers, who exercise a hegemonic control in that market.
TEMA O TESI? MEDIAZIONE E STRATEGIE DI MEDIAZIONE COME SUPPORTO AL RICONOSCIMENTO DEI TESTI ARGOMENTATIVI
Authors: Dota Michela
Published: January 2023

I laboratori di scrittura dell’Università di Milano spesso mostrano come alcune/i apprendenti non riescano sempre a discriminare un testo espositivo da un testo argomentativo, producendo, di conseguenza, testi meramente espositivi in luogo dei saggi argomentativi attesi. Con l’ausilio di alcuni spunti offerti dal Volume Complementare, e considerate le possibili cause dei fraintendimenti menzionati, il presente contributo propone uno strumento per supportare lo/la studente/essa nel riconoscimento dello schema espositivo o argomentativo soggiacente, in testi autentici e non necessariamente prototipici.

 

Topic or thesis? Mediation and mediation strategies as support for the recognition of argumentative texts

The writing workshops at the University of Milan often show how some learners cannot always discriminate an expository text from an argumentative text, thus producing merely expository texts instead of the expected argumentative essays. With the help of some hints offered by the QCER-Companion Volume and considering the possible causes of the mentioned misunderstandings, this contribution proposes a tool to support the learner in recognising the underlying expository or argumentative scheme in authentic and not necessarily prototypical texts.
L’ITALIA VISTA DA FUORI. PICCOLA INDAGINE SULLA PERCEZIONE DELL’ITALIA SECONDO GLI INSEGNANTI DI ITALIANO NEL MONDO
Authors: Balboni Paolo E.
Published: January 2023

Il saggio affronta il tema della percezione che, secondo gli insegnanti di italiano in 24 paesi, gli stranieri hanno dell’Italia, discutendo due aspetti: a) quello che gli stranieri pensano dell’Italia e che non corrisponde (più) al vero, e che quindi insegnanti e manuali (ma anche istituzioni culturali) dovrebbero correggere; b) quello che gli stranieri non sanno dell’Italia e che insegnanti e manuali (nonché le istituzioni culturali) dovrebbero far notare. Le istituzioni culturali, nelle frasi sopra, sono state messe tra parentesi perché l’indagine ha coinvolto insegnanti, non esponenti delle istituzioni. Il saggio discute i vari aspetti dell’Italia raccontata male o non raccontata, individuando una sei temi su cui potrebbero lavorare sia i docenti di italiano sia (soprattutto) gli autori dei manuali, che forniscono la maggior parte delle informazioni sull’Italia agli oltre due milioni di studenti di italiano nel mondo.

 

Italy seen from the outside.  Small survey on the perception of italy according to teachers of italian in the world

The essay deals with the foreigners’ perception of Italy according to a corpus of Italian teachers across 24 countries. Two main topics are discussed: a) what foreigners think of Italy which is (no longer) true, and could be corrected by teachers and textbooks of Italian (and by Italian cultural institutions abroad); b) what foreigners do not know about Italy, and should be highlighted by teachers and textbooks of Italian (and by Italian cultural institutions abroad). In the sentences above the reference to Italian cultural institutions is in brackets because the survey involved teachers and did not involve people from such institutions. The essay discusses the different aspects of untold or badly told Italy, and point out six topics that can help teachers and textbook authors to tell Italy correctly and fully, as the are the ‘ambassadors’ of Italy for over 2 million students of Italian.

Genetic components of variation were estimated for six Brassica napus lines using 6×6 diallel scheme. The current research was conducted in the winter season during 2019-20 in the Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics University of Agriculture Faisalabad. Statistical analysis exhibits great diversity among parental genotypes and F1 hybrids for all the  investigated characters. All the characters under study manifested over dominance type of gene pattern excluding the number of primary branches/plants controlled by partial dominance type gene action. The traits like plant height, primary branches/plant, days to 50% flowering, and 1000 grain weight showed the highest dominant gene action exhibited by DGL. Genotype B-56 showed dominant gene action for siliquae per plant days to maturity and grain yield. ZMR-2 and ZM-RN possessed the highest number of dominant genes for the time taken flower completion and oil contents, respectively. Broad sense heritability had a high value for all traits (62%-85%), indicating that these traits can be used for further improvement.
Case report: A rare mosaicism on chromosome 21

Published: January 2023

Changes in the human karyotype result in alterations with varying degrees in relation to the morphology or intellectuality of the affected individuals. In most cases, genetic alteration can lead to spontaneous abortion. Among the chromosomal anomalies, mosaicism is often found, consisting of more than one type of cell line, derived from a single zygote, that is, mosaicism is a pos zyzotic phenomenon that can originate germ cells or somatic cells. The purpose of this succinct explanation is to show the cytogenetic diagnosis of the EVS patient (1 year and 9 months old) who presented the following chromosomal mosaicism at 21 chromosomes. The result: 46, XY, del (21) (pter?q11.2::q11.2?qter)[75]/46,XY,+21,der(21;21)(q10;q10)[22]/45,XY,-21[3]. Consequently, proband presents Down's Syndrome, with almond eyes and small ears and low implantation. This patient does not present with cardiopathy or intestinal problems. The karyotype shows that mosaicism is much rarer, since the existence of three different cell lines. 75% proband cells have a partial deletion of the long arm of chromosome 21 in its portion q11.2. A second cell line encompasses 22% of cells analyzed consisting of a robertsonian translocation derivative between the long arms of chromosomes 21 and the remaining 3% there was a complete deletion of a 21 chromosome yielding a karyotype with 45, XY with only 1 chromosome 21. Thus and result found shows the need for follow-up of the patient to observe their development and changes that may better characterize their clinical conditions.
