Authors: BASİRY Mohammad Nabi , KARABIYIK Zülfikar , ATAK SEÇEN İpek , YILDIRIM Benay
Published: June 2023

Peripheral odontogenic fibroma (POdF) is an odontogenic neoplasm of connective tissue. Due to the rarity of POdF, the lesion is not commonly reported in the literature. POdF is a benign, slow-growing, asymptomatic, non-ulcerated gingival mass seen mainly in the anterior mandible. It is designated as the extraosseous counterpart of the central odontogenic fibroma (COF). POdF mainly consists of connective tissue with various amounts of epithelial nests. This entity should be added to armamentarium of the differential diagnosis of soft tissue tumors like peripheral ossifying fibroma, peripheral ameloblastoma, pyogenic granuloma, and giant cell granuloma. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Recurrence was reported in the literature. Thus, the patient should be followed up regularly after the surgery.

Exploring the Influential Factors on Students' Mathematical Interest in Schools
Authors: Abid Abdullah , Noori Ahmad Shah
Published: June 2023

This research study aimed to identify and examine the factors that influence the level of interest among high school students in mathematics education. The study explored various factors, including student characteristics, teacher attributes, government involvement, infrastructure challenges, instructional strategies, class size, and concerns related to mathematics. A central high school in Khost was selected as the research site. A random sampling technique was employed to select participants from each class, ensuring representation based on age and gender. The findings revealed that seven factors significantly predicted high school students’ interest in mathematics education. Specifically, the teacher factor, student factor, instructional strategy, math concern, and infrastructure problem positively correlated with the level of interest. At the same time, the class size and government involvement exhibited a negative association. These findings highlight the significance of these factors in shaping students' engagement with mathematics. Based on the results, it is recommended that the government implement regular professional development programs for mathematics teachers to enhance their instructional strategies, enabling them to nurture students' interest in mathematics education effectively.

Authors: Batgerel Munkhzaya , Chagdaa Sodbileg , Galsandorj Enkhtuya
Published: June 2023

In this paper, we present results obtained from the flux tubes between a quark and an antiquark in SU(3) pure gauge lattice field theory. We fit the transverse distribution of the energy density and the parallel components of the chromoelectric and chromomagnetic fields with several functions and used the coefficients obtained from the fit for computation of the width of the flux tube. Subsequently, we looked into in the dependence of the width of the flux tube on the distance between the static quark-antiquark sources and temperatures. Finally, we compared our results with those from other similar studies. We observed that the numerical value of the width of the flux tube computed from the pure gauge theory is larger than that from the full QCD theory, and the width of the flux tube widened until Tc, and then decreased above the critical temperature.

Happiness Economics: A Brief on the Validity of Subjective Well-Being Metrics
Authors: Cauchi Ivan
Published: June 2023

In the last decade, there has been considerable criticism of the general reliance on GDP as a proxy indicator of progress and development. One strand of criticism focuses on The Easterlin Paradox and the inability of GDP to capture the subjective well-being (the scientific term for Happiness) of a nation. Richard Easterlin argues that his paradox underlies (mis-)judgments in this particular nature of welfare. New opportunities to empirically explore preconditions and covariates of well-being that go beyond the traditional GDP metrics have spurred impressive and stimulating new research and the Economics of Happiness has emerged as one of the most thriving subjects of the discipline. This briefing paper re-assesses the Easterlin Paradox using recent data on an array of countries to draw out lessons for public policymaking. The brief is intended to provide a concise summary of research knowledge on Happiness Economics in an accessible form to a varied audience including academics, policymakers, civil-societies and students.

Published: June 2023

Resumen

La reparación integral, es un derecho de las víctimas en los procesos penales que incluye la atención integral y oportuna de estas, se origina del derecho penal internacional donde se reparaba a las víctimas de crímenes de lesa humanidad, este derecho abarca varios mecanismos que permiten que la víctima sea reparada en función del daño; el objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar la reparación integral y las prácticas judiciales en delitos de violación en la ciudad de Cuenca; la metodología utilizada en esta investigación se basó en un enfoque de tipo cualitativo debido a que a través del análisis de sentencias penales proporcionadas por el Consejo de la Judicatura del Azuay, se determinó el incumplimiento de este derecho, considerando aspectos como condena, reparación, formas de ejecución etc. Es decir, el derecho a la reparación integral no se cumple de forma estricta acorde a la normativa penal, puesto que no se especifica cómo serán cumplidos estos mecanismos de reparación, los mismos que se encuentran muy limitados o se basan en compensaciones económicas que no satisfacen a la víctima, debido a que, de siete sentencias analizadas, en cuatro de ellas no se les brinda el apoyo y seguimiento oportuno que deberían tener las víctimas por este delito. Finalmente, es necesario que los jueces al momento de dictaminar una reparación establezcan mecanismos eficaces que propendan a que las víctimas tengan la posibilidad de continuar con su proyecto de vida como si nunca hubiesen sido violentadas en ninguno de sus derechos.

This research aims to visualize the "impossible trilemma", i. e. the impossibility of simultaneously having a fixed exchange rate, free movement of capital and an independent monetary policy, for every economy through the application ofartificial intelligence software. The advantages of visualization techniques are revealed. The explored countries are divided into the following panels: theEurozone countries, the developed European countries (DEC), the developed non-European countries (DNEC), the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), the developing European countries and the Organizationof the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). The results of the research show a great level of confirmation of the trilemma for the developing economies and the developed non-European countries. This implies that there is a compromise between exchange rate stability, monetary independence, and free capital mobility.

Conceptual integrative model for virtual team effectiveness
Authors:   New Bulgarian University, Hadzhiev Kristiyan
Published: June 2023

Researches have been conducted on the key organizational prerequisites, elements and features of virtual teams (input elements), the key factors for their effective functioning (processes) and the immediate results of the activity of the virtual structures on the basis of the contemporary models of integration via the so-called input-process-output (IPO) scheme. The goal is to find a common theoretical and methodical basis that combines the fundamental models for the effectiveness of virtual teams. A new conceptual integrative model has been well-argued. The matrix of the input-process-output (IPO) model offers a different approach for transforming multilateral relations and factors into working processes, which is much more difficult to achieve in a virtual team environment than in a traditional hierarchical structure.

TRADE POLICY AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN NIGERIA
Authors:   Offa Polytechnic Federal University, Nigeria, Afolabi Adeniyi , Sotan Kafilat ,   Offa Polytechnic Federal University, Nigeria, Salahuddееn Shakirat ,   Offa Polytechnic Federal University, Nigeria
Published: June 2023

This study examines the effect of trade policy on Nigeria’s economic growth and uses annual data spanning from 1983 to 2018. The Augmented Dickey-Fuller test revealed that the variables employed have a mixed order of integration (i(0), i(1)). Thereafter, an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) technique was employed because it suits the outcome of the pre-estimation test. A cointegration test among the variables was conducted using the ARDL bound test technique. The ARDL estimates showed that the adjusted trade ratio and the price-based variables have a positive impact on the GDP in both the short and the long run. The impulse response function for the estimated ARDL model was computed in order to confirm the accuracy of the Bound testing result. Interestingly, the findings remained robust when the potential effect of the trade policy was accounted for using the impulse response function (IRF) (see the Appendix). The IRF showed dynamically that the GDP responded positively to the trade policy at a higher horizon contrary to the short run estimate, thereby giving more credibility to the result of the ARDL which was being transformed by the IRF. The dynamic responses made it possible to find out that the GDP responded positively and negatively to trade policy, but that the accumulated (long run) effect was positive. The conclusion was reached that in Nigeria the adjusted trade ratio was procyclical while the price-based mechanism was countercyclical throughout the scope of study. The suggestion was made that the policy makers should adopt policies that can promote international trade and innovations, and can shut out any form of black market premium that may cause distortions.

Cette contribution s’appuie sur notre recherche doctorale menée entre 2018 et 2020, dans le domaine des sciences du langage, intitulée « Étude sur la culture littéraire plurielle et plurilingue des élèves : l’exemple du débat interprétatif littéraire ». Nous avons introduit la notion de culture littéraire plurilingue dans l’enseignement du français langue seconde au collège. En effet, nous considérons que les élèves allophones, qui arrivent dans le système éducatif français, ont une culture littéraire qu’ils ont construite dans leur pays d’origine, dans leur langue d’origine. Que faire de cette culture littéraire dans les dispositifs d’accueil ? Que faire de cette culture littéraire dans un cours de français ? Nous nous pencherons tout d’abord sur l’accueil des élèves allophones à l’École et sur les dispositifs mis en place en nous appuyant sur les différents documents officiels conçus par l’Éducation Nationale. Puis, nous reviendrons sur la notion d’allophonie et sur les apports d’une éducation dite plurilingue. Enfin, nous présenterons notre étude sur la culture littéraire plurielle et plurilingue des élèves allophones et le dispositif que nous avons mis en place afin de valoriser cette culture littéraire plurilingue. Comment laisser la place à leur culture littéraire plurilingue dans un contexte considéré très souvent, à tort, comme uniquement francophone ? Quel impact ce genre de pratique peut-elle avoir sur leur apprentissage du français langue seconde mais également sur le processus d’inclusion ? Comment les enseignants de lettres en classes ordinaires peuvent-ils mettre en place une telle pratique ?

Published: June 2023

Devido ao expressivo volume de dados heterogêneos gerados pelos espaços urbanos, bem como aos avanços da tecnologia da informação, diversos Serviços de Computação Urbana têm ganhado visibilidade. Estes serviços utilizam bancos de dados relacionais para armazenamento dos dados coletados e são suscetíveis a possíveis ameaças, dentre elas os ataques de SQL Injection (SQLi). Desta forma, se fazem necessárias soluções de segurança que possam, além de trazer eficiência na detecção, atender aos aspectos de tempo de processamento e tempo de resposta. Dentro deste contexto, este artigo apresenta uma solução para Detecção Escalável de Ameaças SQLi (DEA-SQLi) baseada em Expressões Regulares, atuando assim como um serviço de filtragem inicial para proteção contra ameaças de SQLi, a fim de atender a demandas de tempo de resposta e escalabilidade. Os resultados dos experimentos utilizando um conjunto de dados real sugerem que o DEA-SQLi possui uma eficiência adequada para a detecção de ameaças, enquanto atende aos requisitos de escalabilidade dos serviços de computação urbana.

Published: June 2023

As plataformas IoT desempenham um papel central na arquitetura IoT, pois facilitam o desenvolvimento de serviços e aplicações. As plataformas IoT devem satisfazer os múltiplos requisitos das aplicações e preferências dos clientes, mas também devem evitar o consumo dos escassos recursos dos dispositivos IoT. Este artigo propõe um framework chamado OBSERVICE que visa suportar o gerenciamento da comunicação em ambientes IoT envolvendo múltiplas partes interessadas (observadores) em consumir dados IoT de vários produtores. O framework proposto permite que várias entidades, isto é usuários, especifiquem simultaneamente suas preferências de comunicação. A implementação do framework teve a compatibilidade com a web como prioridade, além do reuso de código, ferramentas de código aberto e a integração com código real embarcado em dispositivos IoT. Os resultados dos testes de validação mostram que o OBSERVICE é capaz de gerenciar a comunicação envolvendo múltiplas entidades e dispositivos IoT, com baixo consumo de recursos e melhora em aspectos de gerência de redes.

Cryptocurrency Money Laundering: A New Challenge for the European Anti- Money Laundering Framework
Authors: Ristic Petar
Published: June 2023

Money laundering has developed at the same pace, if not quicker, as the laws that were meant to restrain it. The advent of cryptocurrency escalated the century-long arms race between money launderers and regulators as cryptocurrencies shifted the frontline from the thoroughly governed, centralized financial sector to the (semi)anonymous, decentralized and unevenly regulated cryptocurrency domain. Recent reports indicate that cryptocurrency money laundering represents a problem of considerable proportions. Owing to the fast-paced development of the crypto ecosystem and the growing interconnectedness between cryptocurrency and the traditional financial sector, forward looking and future-proof solutions are a conditio sine qua non for safeguarding the integrity of financial markets. Moreover, as cryptocurrency holds the promise of an accessible and expeditious transaction system, it is imperative to disperse the criminal label attached to it and work towards improving credibility through calculated regulation. Although some progress has been achieved at the EU level, European cryptocurrency anti-money laundering (AML) regulation is still in its nascent stage. European legislators have touched upon the topic of cryptocurrency in AMLD V, leaving considerable space for improvement. The objective of this study is to assess the European Union’s approach to regulating cryptocurrencies from an AML perspective and propose ways forward.
Enforcing the Rule of Law in the EU: The Case of Poland and Hungary
Authors: Blanke Hermann-Josef , Sander Aimee
Published: June 2023

The Commission’s 2022 Report on the Rule of Law highlights serious concerns about the independence and impartiality of the judiciary, particularly in Poland and Hungary. The ongoing consolidation of illiberal democracies in these countries has led not only to a stagnation but also to an erosion of the fundamental principles of the rule of law. In Poland, the ruling PiS government’s judicial reforms have sparked controversy and pose a threat to the rule of law. Forced retirements, disciplinary proceedings and political appointments of judges have exposed the judiciary to legislative and governmental control. The decision of the Polish Constitutional Tribunal to declare EU primary law unconstitutional testifies to the Polish institutions’ departure from the common values enshrined in Art. 2 TEU. The Union’s regular control and sanction mechanisms have proved inadequate in the face of this crisis. Budgetary sanctions, such as those applied to Hungary under the Conditionality Regulation to protect the EU budget and to Poland and Hungary by withholding funds under the Union’s Recovery and Resilience Facility, provide a means of pressuring those countries to halt further erosion of the fundamental guarantees and institutions of the rule of law. However, given the systemic deficits evident in both countries, doubts remain about the effectiveness of such measures.
