Abstract. Formic acid is the most abundant organic acid in the troposphere and has significant environmental and climatic impacts. Isocyanic acid poses severe threats to human health and could be formed through the degradation of formic acid. However, the lack of vertical observation information has strongly limited the understanding of their sources, particularly in urban regions with complex pollutant emissions. To address this issue, we assessed the impact of long tubes on the measurement uncertainties of formic and isocyanic acids and found that the tubing impact was negligible. Then, we conducted continuous (27 d) vertical gradient measurements (five heights between 5–320 m) of formic and isocyanic acids using long tubes based on a tall tower in Beijing, China, in the summer of 2021. Results show that the respective mean mixing ratios of formic and isocyanic acids were 1.3 ± 1.3 ppbv and 0.28 ± 0.16 ppbv at 5 m and were 2.1 ± 1.9 ppbv and 0.43 ± 0.21 ppbv at 320 m during the campaign. The mixing ratios of formic and isocyanic acids were substantially enhanced in the daytime and correlated with the diurnal change of ozone. Upon sunrise, the mixing ratios of formic and isocyanic acids at different heights simultaneously increased, even in the residual layer. In addition, positive vertical gradients were observed for formic and isocyanic acids throughout the day. The positive vertical gradients of formic and isocyanic acids in the daytime imply the enhancement of their secondary formation in urban regions aloft, predominantly due to the enhancements of oxygenated volatile organic compounds. Furthermore, the afternoon peaks and positive vertical gradients of formic and isocyanic acids in the nighttime also indicate their minor contributions from primary emissions from ground-level sources. The formation pathway of isocyanic acid through HCOOH–CH3NO–HNCO was enhanced with height but only accounted for a tiny fraction of its ambient abundance. The abundance and source contributions of formic and isocyanic acids in the atmospheric boundary layer may be highly underestimated when being derived from their ground-level measurements. With the aid of numerical modeling techniques, future studies could further identify key precursors that drive the rapid formation of formic and isocyanic acids and quantitatively assess the impacts of the enhanced formation of the two acids aloft on their budgets at ground level.

Abstract. Characterising the physico-chemical properties of dust-emitting sediments in arid regions is fundamental to understanding the effects of dust on climate and ecosystems. However, knowledge regarding high-latitude dust (HLD) remains limited. This study focuses on analysing the particle size distribution (PSD), mineralogy, cohesion, iron (Fe) mode of occurrence, and visible–near infrared (VNIR) reflectance spectra of dust-emitting sediments from dust hotspots in Iceland (HLD region). Extensive analysis was conducted on samples of top sediments, sediments, and aeolian ripples collected from seven dust sources, with particular emphasis on the Jökulsá basin, encompassing the desert of Dyngjunsandur. Both fully and minimally dispersed PSDs and their respective mass median particle diameters revealed remarkable similarities (56 ± 69 and 55 ± 62 µm, respectively). Mineralogical analyses indicated the prevalence of amorphous phases (68 ± 26 %), feldspars (17 ± 13 %), and pyroxenes (9.3 ± 7.2 %), consistent with thorough analyses of VNIR reflectance spectra. The Fe content reached 9.5 ± 0.40 wt %, predominantly within silicate structures (80 ± 6.3 %), complemented by magnetite (16 ± 5.5 %), hematite/goethite (4.5 ± 2.7 %), and readily exchangeable Fe ions or Fe nano-oxides (1.6 ± 0.63 %). Icelandic top sediments exhibited coarser PSDs compared to the high dust-emitting crusts from mid-latitude arid regions, distinctive mineralogy, and a 3-fold bulk Fe content, with a significant presence of magnetite. The congruence between fully and minimally dispersed PSDs underscores reduced particle aggregation and cohesion of Icelandic top sediments, suggesting that aerodynamic entrainment of dust could also play a role upon emission in this region, alongside saltation bombardment. The extensive analysis in Dyngjusandur enabled the development of a conceptual model to encapsulate Iceland's rapidly evolving high dust-emitting environments.
From simple labels to semantic image segmentation: leveraging citizen science plant photographs for tree species mapping in drone imagery
Authors: Soltani Salim , Ferlian Olga , Eisenhauer Nico , Feilhauer Hannes , Kattenborn Teja
Published: June 2024

Abstract. Knowledge of plant species distributions is essential for various application fields, such as nature conservation, agriculture, and forestry. Remote sensing data, especially high-resolution orthoimages from unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAVs), paired with novel pattern-recognition methods, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), enable accurate mapping (segmentation) of plant species. Training transferable pattern-recognition models for species segmentation across diverse landscapes and data characteristics typically requires extensive training data. Training data are usually derived from labor-intensive field surveys or visual interpretation of remote sensing images. Alternatively, pattern-recognition models could be trained more efficiently with plant photos and labels from citizen science platforms, which include millions of crowd-sourced smartphone photos and the corresponding species labels. However, these pairs of citizen-science-based photographs and simple species labels (one label for the entire image) cannot be used directly for training state-of-the-art segmentation models used for UAV image analysis, which require per-pixel labels for training (also called masks). Here, we overcome the limitation of simple labels of citizen science plant observations with a two-step approach. In the first step, we train CNN-based image classification models using the simple labels and apply them in a moving-window approach over UAV orthoimagery to create segmentation masks. In the second phase, these segmentation masks are used to train state-of-the-art CNN-based image segmentation models with an encoder–decoder structure. We tested the approach on UAV orthoimages acquired in summer and autumn at a test site comprising 10 temperate deciduous tree species in varying mixtures. Several tree species could be mapped with surprising accuracy (mean F1 score =0.47). In homogenous species assemblages, the accuracy increased considerably (mean F1 score =0.55). The results indicate that several tree species can be mapped without generating new training data and by only using preexisting knowledge from citizen science. Moreover, our analysis revealed that the variability in citizen science photographs, with respect to acquisition data and context, facilitates the generation of models that are transferable through the vegetation season. Thus, citizen science data may greatly advance our capacity to monitor hundreds of plant species and, thus, Earth's biodiversity across space and time.
Sensitivity to forecast surface mass balance outweighs sensitivity to basal sliding descriptions for 21st century mass loss from three major Greenland outlet glaciers
Authors: Carr J. Rachel , Hill Emily A. , Gudmundsson G. Hilmar
Published: June 2024

Abstract. The Greenland Ice Sheet contributed 10.6 mm to global sea level rise between 1992 and 2018, and it is projected to be the largest glacial contributor to sea level rise by 2100. Here we assess the relative importance of two major sources of uncertainty in 21st century ice loss projections: (1) the choice of sliding law and (2) the surface mass balance (SMB) forecast. Specifically, we used the ice flow model Úa to conduct an ensemble of runs for 48 combinations of sliding law and SMB forecast for three major Greenland outlet glaciers (Kangerlussuaq (KG), Humboldt (HU) and Petermann (PG) glaciers) with differing characteristics and evaluated how the sensitivity to these factors varied between the study glaciers. Overall, our results show that SMB forecasts were responsible for 4.45 mm of the variability in sea level rise by 2100 compared with 0.33 mm sea level equivalent (SLE) due to sliding law. HU had the largest absolute contribution to sea level rise and the largest range (2.16–7.96 mm SLE), followed by PG (0.84–5.42 mm SLE), and these glaciers showed similar patterns of ice loss across the SMB forecasts and sliding laws. KG had the lowest range and absolute values (−0.60 to 3.45 mm SLE) of sea level rise, and the magnitude of mass loss by SMB forecast differed markedly between HU and PG. Our results highlight SMB forecasts as a key focus for improving estimates of Greenland's contribution to 21st century sea level rise.
TERMINOLOGICAL ISSUES IN THE CIVIL CODE OF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN
Authors: Nurbayeva Nurkiz Arysbekovna
Published: June 2024

Legal terminology is an element of legal technique and a means of presenting the text of legal acts verbally. It also plays an important role in law enforcement. The intensive development of science, the development of new technologies lead to the fact that certain terms become obsolete and go out of use. As well as the emergence of new terms requires the updating, formation and consolidation of a new terminological framework. The reason for replacement of the term is the widespread use of the new term and the linguistic validity of the legitimacy of its use. All of this can be seen in the texts of the legal acts that were adopted at the beginning of the 1990s. This article discusses the results of fundamental and applied research carried out into the authenticity of the texts of the Civil Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Kazakh and Russian languages. The analysis is given of terms that have an alternative meaning. Specific evidence-based arguments are provided on the gaps in the terms of the legislation, the use of which can mislead the public and compromise the authenticity of the Kazakh and Russian texts. Thus, the article focuses on words equivalent to terms such as "norm", "subsidiary responsibility", "epidemic", "epizootic" etc. The author also analyses the most common linguistic errors that occur in the translation process and suggests ways of eliminating them. Referring to the presence in the text of other than terminological errors, the author considers it necessary to consider amendments to the Civil Code to ensure the authenticity of the texts in the Kazakh and Russian languages, and the selection of terms approved by the Republican Terminology Commission under the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan taking into account their application in international practice and national peculiarities.

Authors: Ryzhankou Arnold Yurievich
Published: June 2024

This scientific article is devoted to the issues of criminal liability for official negligence in the legislation of foreign countries. The purpose of the existence of the state is the protection of human rights and freedoms, the preservation of state and public institutions, ensuring the internal and external security of the country, observing the established legal order. It is the proper activity of officials of state bodies and organizations of all forms of ownership that makes it possible to achieve these goals. To ensure the protection of state-protected public relations from the most serious manifestations of dishonest and negligent attitude of officials to their official duties, criminal liability has been established. Within the framework of this study, the legal norms of the criminal laws of the states of Central and Eastern Europe (Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Serbia, Bulgaria), Western and Northern Europe (England, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Norway, Denmark, Sweden ), the Middle and Far East (Turkey, Israel, Japan, China, South Korea) in order to identify common features and characteristic differences in establishing criminal liability for negligence in service in the legislation of foreign countries that are not members of the CIS. The author defines the general and special compositions of reckless crimes of officials in the criminal law of foreign countries, identifies common features in the formation of qualifying signs of negligence, analyzes approaches to the legal nature of the subject of malfeasance, as well as the range and extent of penalties for official negligence. Based on the results of the study, the author identifies general approaches to establishing criminal liability for official negligence in the legislation of the states of near and far abroad, and draws a conclusion about the movement in their line with the criminalization of official negligence in domestic legislation.

Authors: Sarpekov Ramazan Kumarbekovich , Rakhmetov Sattar Mukanovich
Published: June 2024

Crime has a significant impact on the tranquility in society, on the quality of human life. Therefore, the State takes the necessary measures to counteract criminal offenses and combat crime. One of the important tools in this fight is punishment. In order for the application of punishment to be effective, it is necessary to apply it correctly. Unfortunately, the process of applying punishment is often accompanied by violations of the law and its principles, which negatively affects the effectiveness of the application of punishment. There are a number of reasons that do not allow increasing the effectiveness of punishment. One of them is the imperfection of legislation, including criminal legislation, the norms of which regulate issues related to punishment. It is known that the use of preventive measures has priority over other measures to counter criminal offenses (Article 4 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated April 29, 2010 «On the prevention of offenses»). According to Part 2 of Article 39 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan (hereinafter referred to as the Criminal Code), the purpose of punishment is to prevent the commission of new criminal offenses by both convicted persons and other persons. Therefore, punishment is one of the important measures for the prevention of criminal offenses, generally playing an important role in countering criminal offenses. When imposing punishment, the court should be guided by the norms of the Criminal Code, which regulate the system and types of punishments, principles and basic rules of sentencing. The article analyzes the existing system of punishments, in which there are shortcomings. The ways of eliminating these shortcomings are indicated, while amendments and additions are proposed to the wording of a number of norms of the Criminal Code.

Published: June 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of the activities of the administrative police. The author approaches its study through the prism of domestic and foreign theory and practice, seeking to formulate provisions and conclusions that can be applied in the conditions of Kazakh reality. The author suggests that the functions of this service should be transferred to the jurisdiction of local executive bodies or local self-government bodies while emphasizing the fact that the competence of this unit includes the protection of public order, patrolling the territory of a locality and some other tasks to assist citizens. It is important to understand the essence of the municipal police activity is to understand its purpose and objectives which are defined in the article. The normative forms that will authorize the activities of the municipal police are considered. The author emphasizes that the fundamental thing in the work of the municipal police is the compliance of his/her employee with the society's ideas about an assistant and defender in the person of the guardian of order. According to the author the system of training a municipal policeman should be radically different from the existing one in other law enforcement agencies and the Department of Internal Affairs, for example, when entering (entrance exam) there should be no testing for knowledge of the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan for the service since a person will receive the necessary knowledge within the framework of training, internship and professional activity it is advisable to select candidates through a competition for the best social project. Special attention in the article is paid to attracting competent, sufficiently intellectual, cultural, established, socially oriented citizens who are not indifferent to other people's problems to serve in the municipal police. The author substantiates the idea that a candidate for service should be brought up to the standards of a municipal policeman, developing additional special skills in him to carry out a generally useful function a defender and assistant. At the end of the article it is concluded that the main indicator of the activity of the municipal police should be the absence of street crime, high culture and safety on the streets of the city.

Authors: Igissinova Elmira , Davletbayeva Zhuldyz
Published: June 2024

This article examines the relationship between the ideology of integrity and anti-corruption culture on the example of the state policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Countering corruption remains an urgent issue of our time, as corruption slows down socio-economic development, hinders the full-fledged construction of civil and democratic institutions. Recently, in order to counteract this negative phenomenon, state bodies have been paying more and more attention to the formation of an anti-corruption culture in society as preventive measures. In turn, the ideology of integrity is an integral part of the anti-corruption culture. The promotion of the ideology of integrity as a mechanism for combating corruption has shown its effectiveness in foreign countries, such as, for example, Singapore, Great Britain and Georgia. The importance of promoting the ideology of integrity is also indicated in the recommendations of international organizations, including the Istanbul Action Plan of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. In the Republic of Kazakhstan, great attention is paid to the issue of the formation of an anti-corruption culture through the promotion of the ideology of integrity. Thus, the Concept of Anti-Corruption Policy for 2022-2026 of February 2, 2022 provides for a number of measures to improve integrity in the state apparatus and the business environment.
LEGISLATION OF FOREIGN COUNTRIES ON COMPENSATION OF DAMAGE IN CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS (LEGAL ANALYSIS)
Authors: Ziyatova Zhadra Ziyatovna , Kaliakperova Elena Nikolaevnaovna
Published: June 2024

An appeal to a comparative legal analysis of the institution of compensation for harm to victims of unjustified criminal prosecution and conviction seems necessary and possible for the following reasons. First, by making comparisons, we contribute to a better understanding of our own legislation and law enforcement process. Secondly, the improvement of the institution of rehabilitation requires taking into account foreign legal experience. The study of the legal norms of foreign states is necessary due to the internationalization of legal systems, which is reflected in the regulation of relations on compensation for harm to rehabilitants. Many states have ratified or acceded to conventions that proclaim the right to compensation for harm to victims of law enforcement action and guarantee that it can be protected at the international level; some countries have recognized the relevant regulations as directly applicable. It is not excluded that many countries may in the future recognize the jurisdiction of the European Commission and the European Union on human rights in cases of restoring the violated rights of rehabilitated citizens, which will make it possible to come closer to international standards. The authors compared similar legal institutions of various social and legal systems and set the goal of explaining the similarities and differences. In the article under consideration, in order to achieve the goal of effective the bodies conducting the criminal process, as well as to bring national legislation in line with international obligations and international standards, it is proposed to adopt the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan «On the rehabilitation of citizens subjected to illegal criminal prosecution. and compensation for unlawfully inflicted harm».

Психологічні особливості переживання травматичного досвіду українськими переселенцями
Authors: Мікіртичьян Альбіна , Боснюк Валерій
Published: June 2024

Із початку війни проти України велика кількість осіб була змушена переміститися за кордон або в інші частини країни, де не ведуться активні бойові дії. Процеси такого переміщення є психотравмуючими для особистості. Теоретичний аналіз наявної літератури показує, що серед вимушених переселенців спостерігаються психологічні розлади різноманітного спектру, пов'язані із переживаннями екстремальних подій, хронічним стресом та відчуттям безпорадності перед небезпекою.

У нашому дослідженні, з метою дослідження особливостей переживання травматичного досвіду українськими переселенцями ми поділили вибірку на три групи: 1) люди, які вимушено здійснили переїзд із постійного місця проживання за кордон; 2) переїхали за кордон, але повернулися до України; 3) місце проживання не змінювали.

За результатами виявлено, що фактично всі респонденти повідомили про погіршення здоров’я та емоційного стану, що вказує на прямий негативний вплив тривалого стресу війни на загальне благополуччя переселенців. Також діагностовано, що погіршення матеріального становища є опосередкованим чинником психологічної травматизації в умовах воєнного конфлікту.

Встановлено, що передислокація виступає додатковим стрес фактором, найвищі бали за шкалою суб’єктивної оцінки стресових подій у групі з досвідом вимушеного переселення за кордон із подальшим поверненням до України. Ті, хто не покидав своїх домівок попри загрозу відчувають менше стресу, оскільки перебувають у більш знайомому та підтримуючому середовищі й загалом змогли адаптуватися до пролонгованої обстановки невизначеності.

За результатами вивчення ПТСР, можна констатувати, що люди, які із-за війни вимушено виїхали за кордон і там залишилися найбільш психологічно травмовані, у них більш виражені негативні відстрочені реакції реагування. Переселенці після переїзду із-за кордону до України статистично значуще проявляють вищий рівень психологічного благополуччя. Можливо через повернення до звичних умов життя підвищується психологічний ресурс особистості, який загалом мобілізує роботу організму, що і статистично значуще відображається й у кращому фізичному самовідчутті.
Копінг-стратегії офіцерів запасу у системі їх психологічної стійкості
Authors: Рютіна Дар'я , Ільїна Юлія , Світлична Наталія
Published: June 2024

Стаття присвячена вивченню копінг-стратегій офіцерів запасу на різних етапах військової професіоналізації. Здобувачі кафедри військової підготовки, які навчаються на першому курсі, перебувають на етапі загальновійськової підготовки, яка включає засвоєння теоретичних знань за загальновійськовими дисциплінами. Випускники кафедри проходять етап первинної професіоналізації, який характеризується початком службової діяльності, становленням особистості як офіцера, військового фахівця.

Сучасна військово-політична ситуація в Україні характеризується суттєвими реформами у сферах безпеки та оборони країни, зокрема у Збройних Силах України. Висуваються нові вимоги до кількісних та якісних показників військової організації та до характерологічних показників особистості військовослужбовця. Важливою умовою ефективного виконання службово-бойових завдань є психологічна стійкість воїнів, яка складається з трьох компонентів: когнітивний, емоційний та поведінковий. Основною складовою психологічної стійкості є копінг-стратегії, які є механізмом протидії впливу на психіку стрес-факторів бойової обстановки у процесі службово-бойової діяльності.

Увага дослідження сфокусована на таких копінг-стратегіях: конфронтації, дистанціювання, самоконтролю, пошуку соціальної підтримки, прийняття відповідальності, уникнення, планового розв’язання проблеми та позитивної переоцінки. За результатами дослідження визначено, що здобувачі, які проходять етап загальновійськової підготовки частіше віддають перевагу використанню копінг-стратегій позитивної переоцінки та планового розв’язання проблем. Випускники, які проходять етап первинної професіоналізації частіше віддають перевагу використанню копінг-стратегій планового розв’язання проблем, уникнення та дистанціювання. Виявлено статистично значущі відмінності копінг-стратегій уникнення та пошуку соціальної підтримки на різних етапах військової професіоналізації. Має місце статистично значуща кореляція між провідними копінг-стратегіями офіцерів запасу та рівнем їх когнітивної гнучкості (у тому числі її параметрами) та рівнем їх емоційної стабільності-нестабільності.

Результати дослідження доцільно враховувати у навчальному процесі кафедр військової підготовки та при психологічному супроводі офіцерів, призваних із запасу.
Змістові лінії розвитку психологічної готовності майбутніх пілотів цивільної авіації до професійної діяльності
Authors: Чернявська Світлана
Published: June 2024

В статті представлені і проаналізовані результати теоретичного та емпіричного дослідження психологічної готовності майбутніх пілотів цивільної авіації до професійної діяльності, на основі яких було виведено основні змістові лінії розвитку психологічної готовності до діяльності на формувальному етапі дослідження. Методологічною основою емпіричного дослідження була концептуальна авторська модель психологічної готовності студентів-пілотів до професійної діяльності, яка узагальнює погляди науковців щодо розуміння суті поняття психологічна готовність до професійної діяльності та її структури з урахуванням психологічних аспектів льотної діяльності пілота цивільної авіації та умов здійснення такої діяльності. На констатувальному етапі дослідження було виявлено такі компоненти психологічної готовності та їх показники, що потребують цілеспрямованого психокорекційного впливу на наступному формувальному етапі дослідження (цінності саморозвитку та власного престижу в професії, спрямованість інтересів у напрямку «Людина-Знакова система» (мотиваційний компонент), академічна успішність (компонент досвіду), швидкість переробки інформації, середня продуктивність уваги, просторове і репродуктивне мислення (професійно важливі особливості психічних процесів). Кореляційний аналіз за критерієм Спірмена показав наявність зв’язків між вище наведеними показниками компонентів психологічної готовності, що уможливить проведення спільної корекційної роботи. Програма розвитку психологічної готовності майбутніх пілотів цивільної авіації до професійної діяльності передбачає психокорекційний вплив одразу на три складові психологічної готовності (мотиваційний компонент, компонент досвіду та професійно важливі особливості психічних процесів) з урахуванням наявності, характеру і рівня значимості взаємозв’язків між ними, а також механізмів формування кожного окремого компонента залежно від ступеню соціальної чи біологічної обумовленості його становлення. Результати впровадження такої Програми будуть відображені у наступних наукових працях.
Історія розвитку теорії горя
Authors: Рибик Лариса
Published: June 2024

В статті проаналізовано розвиток теорії горя, вплив втрати на психіку людини та поведінкові реакції при переживанні тяжкої втрати. Розглянуто фактори, що впливають на динаміку переживання втрати та на реакції скорботи. Еволюції теорії горя триває і надалі, розуміння цього процесу дає можливість відстежувати зміни траурних традицій в соціокультурному просторі та застосовувати адекватні методи допомоги при практичній роботі.

Наводиться пояснення категорії горя, яка розуміється як суб’єктивний стан, причому не статичний, а динамічний, що виникає спонтанно як реакція на втрату і характеризується комплексом різноманітних почуттів та емоцій. Наведені базові підходи до розподілу фаз протікання горя та тяжкої втрати. При цьому сучасна світова практична психотерапія горя відходить від лінійних моделей та більш орієнтована на модель подвійної адаптації (DPM). В межах даної моделі є думка про те, що рішення горя залежить від індивідуального коливання між двома процесами – процесом, спрямованим на відчуття втрати та процесом, спрямований на відновлення.

Представлений опис переживання горя дозволяє відмітити особливості процесу переживання втрати дорослими людьми, який складається з фаз оніміння, прагнення, дезорганізації і відчаю та фази реорганізації. Також надається аналіз відмінностей у переживанні втрати дітьми, які полягають у тому, що у них не має шокової реакції, яка є у дорослих. По-друге, для дорослих край важливо усвідомити втрату, щоб рухатись далі, тоді як дитина продовжує взаємодіяти з померлим як зі значущім об’єктом, що впливає на її психічний розвиток. Крім того, в дослідженні проводиться вивчення горя як психологічної травми, що викликає стресові розлади, розкривається специфіка реакцій на переживання втрати близької людині внаслідок самогубства.

В статті неодноразово підкреслюється, що процес горювання є тривалим; відсутність явних емоційних проявів горювання не є ознакою завершення цього процесу, а навпаки може бути показником відхилення від нормотипового процесу горювання та потребуватиме додаткової підтримки та допомоги від фахівця.

The development of technology that altered how people carry out daily duties and find solutions to their problems informed this study, ‘’aapplication of modern instructional technologies by business education lecturers for teaching accounting courses in tertiary institutions in Rivers state.” One specific objective, research question and two null hypotheses guided the study. Descriptive survey research design was adopted. From the population of 99 lecturers, census survey sampling technique was adopted. A five-point response options questionnaire was used for data collection, and it was validated by three experts. The reliability of the instrument was established using Cronbach’s alpha which yielded alpha coefficient of 0.88. Mean was used to answer the research question, while one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and t-test were used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Finding of the study shows that the application of multimedia technologies by business education lecturers for teaching accounting courses was at a very low extend. This implies that learners may not be able to acquire the needed multimedia skills to gain decent works and that the high rate of unemployment may continue. Among other things, it was recommended that accounting lecturers should embarked on personal short and long times certificates programme in the utilization of multimedia technologies to enable them acquire the needed skills in using multimedia technologies in teaching accounting courses.
Change point analysis of events in social networks: An online convex optimization approach
Authors: Karami Arya , Niaki Seyed Taghi Akhavan
Published: June 2024

Nowadays, online social networks play a crucial role in shaping human communication in various life activities. Social Network Analysis (SNA) provides valuable insights for businesses, authorities, and platform owners. One of the challenging tasks in SNA is detecting sequential change points in observed events in social networks when the parameters of statistical distribution of post-change networks are unknown. This challenging problem is particularly prominent in various real-world network systems, especially when the events in the networks can be modeled through a Hawkes process. Identifying change points in the stream of social network data, where the underlying statistical properties undergo significant changes, necessitates the development of adaptive online algorithms. Additionally, in cases where the use of maximum likelihood estimators is impractical or when no exact recursive function for likelihood is available, addressing this issue becomes more complex. This paper proposes likelihood estimators using online convex optimization methods, incorporating the adaptive moment estimation (ADAM) algorithm. The proposed method is seamlessly integrated into the sequential anomaly detection procedure for events in social networks. Experimental results on monitoring time between events demonstrate lower Expected Delay Detection (EDD), indicating the superiority of the proposed algorithm in both synthetic and real-world datasets such as Facebook and contact networks of individuals causing disease transmission. The proposed robust solution provides an efficient practical tool in situations where traditional methods face limitations in swift detection with high accuracy.

Published: June 2024

One of the primary goals of optimization approaches is to strike a balance between exploitation and exploration strategies, thereby enhancing the efficiency of the search process. To improve this balance, considerable research efforts have been directed towards refining these strategies. This paper introduces a novel exploration approach for the Black Widow Optimization (BWO) algorithm, termed Improved BWO (IBWO), aimed at achieving a robust equilibrium between global and local search strategies. The proposed approach tracks and remembers the effective research areas during the research iteration and uses them to direct the subsequent research process toward the most promising areas of the search space. Consequently, this method facilitates convergence towards optimal global solutions, leading to the generation of higher-quality solutions. To evaluate its performance, IBWO is compared with five optimization techniques, including BWO, GA, PSO, ABC, and BBO, across 39 benchmark functions. Simulation results demonstrate that IBWO consistently maintains precision in performance, achieving superior fitness values in 87.2%, 74.4%, and 69.2% of total trials across three distinct simulation settings. These outcomes underscore the efficacy of IBWO in effectively leveraging prior search space information to enhance the balance between exploitation and exploration capabilities. The proposed IBWO has broad applicability, addressing real-world optimization challenges in pilgrim crowd management and transportation during Hajj, supply chain logistics, and energy distribution optimization.

The construction industry faces challenges, such as schedule overruns, cost overruns, poor quality, and safety issues. Lean construction is a valuable concept for waste reduction and improving project performance. This study explored the impact of lean construction principles on contractors' project performance in Ethiopia. Using a quantitative method and simple random sampling technique, 159 respondents from construction companies were selected. This study introduced partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) in the study area. The results showed that process/technology lean principles, people/culture lean principles, and integrated project delivery variables had a direct positive impact on contractor performance. There was also a significant indirect relationship between process/technology-lean construction principles and project performance with a complementary partial mediation effect. However, no significant indirect associations were found between people/culture-lean construction principles and project performance through mediation of onsite construction waste management. The study used FIMIX-PLS to test robustness and detect hidden heterogeneity at non-critical levels. The findings provide researchers and practitioners to identify the influences that are critical for contractors’ projects performance improvement, and that results in the best possible outcome.

Published: June 2024

The rise of online education, prompted by challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, has revolutionized the education landscape and challenged the traditional norms and communications that have characterized communication in the education sector. This research, drawing on the interplay between Critical Discourse Analysis and Sinclair’s IRF model, peers into how language power is played out in cyberspaces of a virtual classroom. The study traces language’s hidden yet palpable influence in shaping power relations through an examination of various online engagements. Findings from the study show that teachers use rhetorical questions and affirmations to guide discussions and retain power based on Sinclair’s IRF model. On the other hand, Wodak’s CDA framework brings out the hidden power dimensions that lie unnoticed in language, which seems inclusive but seeks control. The outcome confirms how language influences power dynamics when teachers use linguistic strategies to shape narratives and dictate conversations. The study reveals strategies instructors utilize in General Education courses at Camarines Sur Polytechnic Colleges, Philippines. While appearing democratic, rhetorical questions and affirmations maintain the teacher’s authority as they help create an illusion of equality. The paper emphasizes the necessity of understanding language-power interplay in online education and advocates for including a course component devoted to language and power dynamics in teacher professional development programs. This awareness creates inclusive environments in online learning spaces where various voices are recognized, encouraging shared knowledge development. This research illuminates the intricate nature of language and power, laying the foundation for informed online learning teaching practices.
Analysis of Lightning Transient Characteristics of Gravity Grounding Devices for Offshore Wind Turbines
Authors: Haoyu Liu
Published: June 2024

When lightning current strikes the blade lightning arrester and travels through the down conductor and tower, it forms a wave process that impacts the impulse grounding resistance and ground potential rise of the grounding device. To study the transient characteristics of gravity grounding devices for offshore wind turbines under lightning strikes, a novel comprehensive model of offshore wind turbines was developed. This model integrates the Method of Moments (MoM) and Fourier transform, considering the complete path of lightning current from the wind turbine to the ground. The model includes blades, tower, and grounding device. The study examines the effects of varying seawater depths, silt layer soil resistivities, lightning current waveforms, and tower heights on the impulse characteristics of grounding devices during lightning strikes on wind turbine blades. The influence mechanism is analyzed using wave process theory. Calculations indicate that when the seawater depth is 0 m, the impulse grounding resistance significantly increases with the rise in soil resistivity of the silt layer. As the seawater depth increases, the influence of silt layer soil resistivity on impulse grounding resistance diminishes significantly. The shorter the lightning current wavefront time, the higher the potential rise of the grounding device. However, when the wavefront time of the lightning current is long, the oscillation attenuation of the grounding device's potential rise is not significant. The height of the wind turbine tower affects the oscillation frequency of the ground potential rise of the grounding device, with the oscillation frequency being inversely proportional to the tower height.

A Teoria Histórico-Cultural, elaborada por Vygotsky, fundamentada na experimentação social, estimula Funções Psicológicas Superiores. Aprendizagem do panorama coletivo para o panorama individual internaliza elementos culturais simbólicos, sendo crucial no desenvolvimento cognitivo quando o uso dos signos é incorporado a linguagem na execução de tarefas. Objetivou apresentar a concepção do sistema de signos na Teoria Histórico-Cultural, correlacionando a interação e aquisição de signos ao desenvolvimento intelectual no âmbito educacional. Este trabalho foi realizado através de uma revisão bibliográfica integrativa. Foram consultadas as bases de dados ScienceDirect e Scielo, através dos termos “vygotsky”, “intellectual development” e “semiology”. Foram encontrados 16 e 5 resultados em ScienceDirect e Scielo, respectivamente. Signos, linguagem e pensamento culminam em intercomunicação e aprendizagem, permitindo a compreensão da realidade, sendo fatores estimulantes das Funções Psicológicas Superiores. Avanços no desenvolvimento são de origem social interacionista. Atividades escolares serão potencializadas quando priorizarem a interação social na sua execução, direcionando para uma vertente transdisciplinar. Este modelo rompe com a compartimentalização do ensino, onde os sujeitos autuam ativamente na apropriação cultural, intercambiando signos, mediados pela linguagem. Interacionismo social gera desenvolvimento, logo a transdisciplinaridade é propicia para o implemento cognitivo. Concluímos que o sistema educacional transdisciplinar permite uma elevada interação interpessoal, criando a experimentação social que é capaz de fornecer variados signos, que implementarão a capacidade cognitiva.
