Brain–computer interface (BCI) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are the most high-profile and disruptive technologies of our time. Professor Zhenming Zhai presents a broad and informative argument for why invasive BCIs are dangerous, fully addressing the emerging issues and challenges caused by BCI and AI technologies. In the field of biomedical research involving human subjects, conducting a reasonable and scientific assessment of the risks and benefits of BCIs is a complex, challenging, and continuous process. In the new world of man–computer symbiosis, we should not focus only to the evolution of technology itself, but also reflect on the balance from within ourselves as humans. We should think carefully, discern wisely and act earnestly.

У статті проаналізовано процес формування інституційних засад системи публічної дипломатії України, розглянуто підхід до її формування та засадничі чинники практичної реалізації. Проаналізовано проблеми початкового періоду. Зазначено, що відсутність комплексного, стратегічного підходу до публічної дипломатії тривалий час гальмувала розвиток галузі й призвела до слабкості зовнішнього іміджу на початку російської агресії. Розглянуто процес прискореного формування системи публічної дипломатії в контексті війни Росії проти України і проблеми її функціонування нині.Ключові слова: публічна дипломатія, Україна, імідж, інституційні засади, зовнішня політика, стратегічні комунікації.
Посилення геополітичної суб’єктності України та перспективи розпаду Росії в умовах сучасних глобальних викликів
Authors: Чупрій Леонід
Published: December 2023

У статті досліджуються особливості посилення геополітичної суб’єктності України в умовах повномасштабної агресії Росії. Підкреслюються, що рівень міжнародної підтримки України значно зріс, зокрема українську резолюцію з засудженням агресії Росії на засіданні Генеральної Асамблеї ООН підтримала 141 країна. Посилення міжнародного авторитету України підтверджує також і підтримка країнами ЄС європейської інтеграції України. Так, на початку березня 2022 року Європейський парламент підтримав резолюцію, яка рекомендує інституціям Європейського Союзу якнайшвидше надати нашій країні статус країни-кандидата на вступ до ЄС. 23 червня 2022 року Європейська рада ухвалила рішення про надання Україні кандидатства в члени ЄС. Зазначається, що ще одним із ключових сучасних трендів української зовнішньої політики є євроатлантичні прагнення України, зокрема на вільнюському саміті 2023 року країни Альянсу пообіцяли прийняти Україну без ПДЧ. Підкреслюється, що в умовах, коли ЗСУ успішно звільняють тимчасово окуповані території, геополітична суб’єктність Росії зазнала значних втрат, оскільки більшість цивілізованих країн світу не хочуть підтримувати чи навіть мати будь-які довгострокові відносини з країною агресором, країною-терористом. Зазначається, що розпад Російської імперії - це лише питання часу, оскільки нинішня путінська Росія просякнута брехнею та корупцією на всіх рівнях, вона є інституційно і організаційно нежиттєздатною.Ключові слова: російсько-українська війна, геополітична суб’єктність, НАТО, ЄС, розпад Росії.

Effect of Delta (δ)-Tocotrienol Supplementation on the Blood Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinising Hormone (LH) Levels in Female Mice: A Preliminary Study
Authors:   Dept. of Pharmaceutical Life Sciences, Faculty of Pharmacy, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), 42300 Bandar Puncak Alam, Selangor, Malaysia, Mohamad Na’im Nael Awatif
Published: December 2023

One of the factors causing female infertility is the deficiency in blood follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH) levels. Both hormones are important for the maturation and growth of follicular cells and ovulation. Vitamin E first discovered in 1992 is a potent lipid-soluble antioxidant and has been reported to exert beneficial effects on the reproductive system. However, its effects particularly on the FSH and LH levels have not been widely reported. Hence, this study was conducted to determine the effect of vitamin E, particularly delta (𝛿)-tocotrienol supplementation on the blood FSH and LH levels in female mice. Thirty (30) female mice were divided into five groups, with 4 treatment groups supplemented with 0.1ml corn oil (G2), 10 (G3), 20 (G4) and 30 (G5) mg/kg/day of 𝛿- tocotrienol while one group without any treatments (G1 = control) for 7 days. On the 8th day, blood samples were collected and analysed using ELISA analysis. Based on the results obtained, mice treated with 10 mg/kg/day of δ-tocotrienol (G3) showed the highest blood FSH and LH levels compared to the other treatment groups. Thus, δ-tocotrienol is suggested to exert improved hormonal regulation in females, and further studies are needed to confirm the effects.

Authors: Johar Dwindi Agryanti , Supriatna Asep Kuswandi , Carnia Ema
Published: December 2023

The Weiner index is considered one of the basic descriptors of fixed interconnection networks because it provides the average distance between any two nodes of the network. Many methods have been used by researchers to calculate the value of the Wiener index. starting from the brute force method to the invention of an algorithm to calculate the Wiener index without calculating the distance matrix. The application of the Wiener index is found in the molecular structure of organic compounds, especially the benzenoid system. The value of the Wiener index of a molecule is closely related to its physical and chemical properties. This paper will show a comprehensive bibliometric survey of peer-reviewed articles referring to the Wiener index of benzenoid. The Wiener index values of several benzenoid compounds using cubic polynomial are also reported. The Wiener index of benzenoid supports much of the research and provides productive citations for citing the study. Keywords: Wiener index, benzenoid, distance matrix, chemical properties, cubic polynomial, topological.

Sampled-Data Nonlinear Control of ECP-730 Magnetic Levitation System
Authors: Malik Maaz Tahir , Obaid Hafiz Muhammad
Published: December 2023

This paper presents the idea of implementing various techniques related to sampled-data control for magnetic levitation systems. The control laws are designed to track time-varying signals and employ the feedback linearization technique based on the approximate discrete-time model. State feedback control is introduced with the gains adjusted via the pole placement method. A positional form proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control uses the trapezoidal summation for the integral term and the backward difference method for the derivative term. An input-output linearization feedback control is the most promising one, which incorporates the integrator in addition to the position error and velocity error. The integral action involves the manipulation of regulation error and reduces it with time to improve performance. Finally, controllers were tested in real time for practical demonstration along with a comparison for comprehensive analysis.

Published: December 2023

Generativity, manifested through interest in and commitment to the development of future generations, is a relevant dimension of teaching culture.

Objective:To characterize the personal and professional development manifested by educators working in rural schools in Chile.

Method:An interpretative-qualitative approach was adopted, based on an exploratory, cross-sectional and non-experimental design. The purposive sample consisted of 18 educators with an average age of 60 and with 33 years of professional experience in rural schools in the Metropolitan, Araucanía and Los Ríos regions (Chile). For the data collection, in-depth interviews were conducted from a narrative-generative perspective. The narratives were analyzed by means of content analysis.

Results:Four categories were identified relating to generativity: significant life experiences, pedagogical dimensions of generative development, generative-expansive adulthood and personal formation. The implications of generativity for teaching practice and the way in which it shapes the educational legacy that transcends school space and time are discussed.
Minerals discovered in Poland – a review
Authors: Pieczka Adam , Dumańska-Słowik Magdalena , Kierczak Jakub
Published: December 2023

Among nearly 6,000 minerals approved by the International Mineralogical Association (IMA), 34 have been discovered on Polish territory. The article describes the history of these discoveries and the procedure for submitting and approving new minerals. It is noted that the vast majority of the new species found in Poland were described by or in cooperation with Polish mineralogists. Three minerals from the list were described in the 19th century, and seven in the 20th century, while most discoveries took place as early as the 21st century. This is a result of (i) the new equipment acquired by the Polish research units enabling accurate structural and chemical studies of minerals, and (ii) fruitful cooperation between mineralogists from Polish and foreign research centers. This is a very labour-intensive and time-consuming process that is not always successful. It is clear that the discoveries of new minerals are important not only for sciences but also for the economy. They provide information on the mineral-forming processes and are the source of valuable elements (e.g. Nb, Ta - nioboholtite, żabińskiite; Tl- thalliomelane and Sc- scandio-winchite, heflikite) that are often critical in modern industries.
The significance of two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography of the left atrium in patients with atrial fibrillation.
Authors: Matveeva M. G. , Alekhin M. N.
Published: December 2023

This article is a review of the literature devoted to the analysis of promising directions for the use of left atrial strain evaluated using speckle-tracking echocardiography to predict atrial fibrillation (AF). Left atrial strain parameters in various phases of the cardiac cycle are independent predictors of AF both in patients with heart failure and in the general population. The addition of left atrial strain parameters to the traditional echocardiographic parameters will make it possible to effectively select patients with AF both for catheter ablation and to identify patients with a high risk of AF recurrence after catheter ablation.

A number of factors has an impact on the survival prognosis in aortic stenosis patients. One of these factors is a left ventricular (LV) systolic function. Left ventricular global function index (LVGFI) takes into account the components of LV remodeling: LV volume, LV stroke volume, and LV myocardial volume.

Objective: to evaluate the prognostic value of LVGFI in patients with various aortic stenosis severity using echocardiography.

Material and methods. The study based on the data of previous prospective observational study from 2010–2016, followed by retrospective calculation and analysis of the LVGFI obtained by echocardiography. A total of 377 patients were included to the study, the average age was 79 (75–84) years; 128 (34%) of them were male; 70 patients (19%) had mild aortic stenosis, 116 patients (31%) moderate aortic stenosis, and 191 patients (50%) severe aortic stenosis. LVGFI was calculated as the percentage ratio of LV stroke volume to LV global volume, where LV global volume was defined as the sum of the LV mean cavity volume [(LV end-diastolic volume + LV end-systolic volume)/2] and the myocardium volume. LV myocardial volume was calculated as the ratio of LV myocardial mass to LV density (defined as 1.05 g/mL). The average follow-up period at the moment of analysis was 602.7 ± 48.72 days. All cases of death during the period of follow up were captured.

Results. The significant differences of LVGFI obtained between surviving and deceased patients (15.39% (11.35–20.95%) and 20.12% (15.16–25.98%), respectively, p < 0.001). Values of LVGFI < 18% significantly associated with the risk of death from all causes during two years of follow-up in both mild aortic stenosis and moderate and severe aortic stenosis.

Conclusion. Thus, in patients with aortic stenosis in the group of fatal outcomes the values of the LVGFI were significantly lower than in the group of surviving patients. LVGFI values of less than 18% associated with the risk of death from all causes in any grade of aortic stenosis. LVGFI can be used for mortality risk stratification in patients with aortic stenosis.

Several hydraulic simulations were carried out using computer modeling software called Iber, to verify the veracity and coherence of the data available. Results and conclusion: After simulating all DEMs, it was found that the DEM that best represented the study region, with greater coherence in topography and hydraulics, was the DEM provided by Copernicus with a 5m lowering.   Research implications: Hydraulic simulations are fundamental for preventing dangerous situations for society as a whole. Together with the studies carried out through simulations, it is possible to analyze their hydraulic and topographic coherence for the flow of rivers and also their floodability for urbanized/dry regions.   Originality/value: Verification of the coherence of data provided by the Open Topography website using Iber software, as a method of preventing hydraulic disasters (floods).
Prevalence of Listeria monocytogenes in dairy products in Turkey: A Meta-Analysis
Authors: YANMAZ Berna
Published: December 2023

This study was aimed to conduct a meta-analysis to determine the seroprevalence of Listeria monocytogenes in dairy products in Turkey. A systematic literature search was conducted using the Medline/PubMed, Science Direct, Web of Science, and Scopus databases to identify studies reporting the seroprevalence of L. monocytogenes in dairy products. The search was conducted using the following keywords: (“ice cream” or “curd” or “cream” or “cheese” or “butter” or “yoğurt” or “dairy” or “milk”) and (“Listeriosis” or “Listeria monocytogenes” or “Listeria”) and (“Turkiye” or “Turkey”) and (“seropositivity” or “seroprevalence” or “prevalence”). A comprehensive meta-analysis included a total of 4766 dairy products from the 27 studies. The overall molecular prevalence of Listeria monocytogenes in dairy products in Turkey was estimated to be 7.4% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.7-10.7%). The I2 value of 93.5% (CI95%91.6–95.0) suggested high heterogeneity, with a τ2 of 3.4422 (CI95%-1.7091–8.5936), and an X2 statistic of 399.2 (P < 0.0001). In conclusion, this meta-analysis reveals a significant seroprevalence of L. monocytogenes in dairy products in Turkey. The findings highlight the need for improved control measures to minimize the risk of contamination and ensure consumer safety. By implementing rigorous hygiene practices, enhancing monitoring systems, and promoting collaborative efforts between industry and regulatory bodies, the dairy sector in Turkey can effectively mitigate the risks associated with L. monocytogenes and maintain high standards of food safety.
The impact of CEO education on the investment attractiveness of companies
Authors: FEDOROVA Elena A. , SHUVARIKOV Matvei D.
Published: December 2023

Subject. The article considers the influence of CEO education on investment attractiveness of companies.
Objectives. We focus on assessing the impact of CEO's level of education on company’s investment appeal.
Methods. The empirical evidence contains observations on the 103 largest companies by capitalization from three macro regions: Russia, the USA, and Europe, for 2021. To test the stated hypotheses, we employ linear regression and neural network. The latter enables to build more complex (and hidden) dependencies due to multi-stage transformation of variables, and get a better predictive ability of the theoretical model on a test set than a classical linear regression. The outliers in the sample are replaced with typical values, using the k nearest neighbors method. To select the most significant independent variables in the dataset, we use a random forest algorithm that shows which variables should be included in the model.
Results. The study confirmed that if Russian CEOs have an MBA degree, technical education and a degree from a prestigious American university, or technical education from European universities, this makes companies more attractive to investors. The findings serve not only as a theoretical basis for development of the agency theory of corporate finance and corporate governance, but also can be applied in practice by company shareholders to select CEOs.
Conclusions. The analysis, involving the economic and mathematical methods and machine learning, demonstrated the dependence of the characteristics of CEO education on investment attractiveness of the world's largest corporations. Accordingly, shareholders need to pay special attention to the education of CEO candidates.

Published: December 2023

Subject. This article examines the peculiarities of cooperation between non-financial companies and banks in present-day conditions. Objectives. The article aims to identify areas for improving cooperation between the bank and the firm through enhancing the specialization and competencies of each party to increase their profits and value. Methods. For the study, I used the logical and systems approaches, and analysis and synthesis. Results. The article finds that endogenous factors of non-financial companies and banks make it necessary to identify the cooperation between corporate financial services and credit organizations. One of the areas of close cooperation is the interaction of the corporate financial service and the bank, the improvement of which provides benefits to each party from opportunities building to focus on the core activities. Conclusions and Relevance. The complication of exogenous circumstances forces companies to strengthen their competencies and specialization, which inevitably leads to the need to improve cooperation with organizations specializing in the production of goods and services that are used in the manufacture of finished products, but do not differentiate companies from competitors in the relevant market. The results of the study can be used in the practices of corporations and banks, and when teaching the disciplines of corporate finance and banking in higher educational institutions.

Published: December 2023

Perkembangan teknologi transportasi menjadi tantangan baru bagi kualitas Sumber Daya Manusia (SDM), terutama kompetensi untuk menjalankan teknologi tersebut. Salah satu isu terkait perkembangan teknologi bidang transportasi adalah kendaraan listrik. Studi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kebutuhan standar kompetensi SDM pada sektor pengujian kendaraan listrik dan evaluasi regulator dalam persiapan SDM. Penentuan standar kompetensi tambahan untuk pengujian berkala kendaraan listrik diawali dengan analisis gap melalui Analisis Dokumen, benchmarking pengujian di berbagai negara/instansi serta klarifikasi kepada pakar dan narasumber. Untuk mengevaluasi kesiapan regulator  dalam menyiapkan SDM Penguji Kendaraan Listrik dilakukan Analisis SWOT yang didahului oleh analisis dokumen untuk mengidentifikasi komponen input, proses, output dan outcome dari kegiatan Diklat/Sertifikasi keahlian yang ada saat ini. Selanjutnya dilakukan survey untuk analisis SWOT kepada pakar dan narasumber dan dilanjutkan dengan penyusunan matriks strategi TOWS. Hasil analisis menunjukkan pengujian berkala kendaraan listrik cenderung serupa dengan kendaraan konvensional dan hanya berbeda pada uji emisi gas buang. Dalam pengujian kendaraan listrik dibutuhkan tambahan uji yaitu fungsional baterai listrik, fungsional pengisian ulang energi listrik, perlindungan sentuh listrik, keselamatan fungsional, minimum sound requirement, dan  emisi hidrogen. Materi Diklat juga perlu mencakup informasi terkait pengujian, instrumentasi, pengenalan metodologi pengujian, persyaratan teknis hingga penentuan alternatif dalam metode pengujian kendaraan. Analisis SWOT menunjukkan bahwa organisasi masih lemah secara internal namun memiliki peluang dari pihak eksternal. Aspek yang menjadi kekuatan adalah kontribusi Diklat terhadap kebutuhan pasar SDM serta perencanaan dan pengembangan SDM yang sudah  cukup baik. Aspek yang masih menjadi kelemahan adalah kompetensi penguji dan sarana prasarana pengujian kendaraan listrik. Untuk peluang masih berasal pada LSP Umum, kebutuhan lembaga swasta, dan industri.

Optimal Pose Estimation and Covariance Analysis with Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Applications
Authors: Maleki Saeed , Raman Adhiti , Cheng Yang , Crassidis John L. , Schmid Matthias
Published: December 2023

This work provides a theoretical analysis for optimally solving the pose estimation problem using total-least-squares for vector observations from landmark features, which is central to applications involving simultaneous localization and mapping. First, the optimization process is formulated with observation vectors extracted from point-cloud features. Then, error-covariance expressions are derived. The attitude and position estimates obtained via the derived optimization process are proven to reach the bounds defined by the Cramér–Rao lower bound under the small-angle approximation of attitude errors. A fully populated observation noise-covariance matrix is assumed as the weight in the cost function to cover the most general case of the sensor uncertainty. This includes more generic correlations in the errors than previous cases involving an isotropic noise assumption. The proposed solution is verified using Monte Carlo simulations, a Gazebo simulation in a robotics operating system, and an experiment with an actual light detection and ranging sensor to validate the error-covariance analysis.

Published: December 2023

Our research on optical site diversity for space optical direct communications over the Asia-Pacific region based on satellite imageries is described. The objective of this research is to find groups of geographically separate locations with high fine-weather rates to place optical ground stations and form an optical site diversity network based on data analysis of geostationary meteorological satellite (GMS) imageries for 10 years, covering the Asia-Pacific region. Our other objective is to propose optical ground stations network over Japan and between Japan and Australia. In this analysis, target areas are focused on Japan and Australia because of the long operation backgrounds of radio communication ground station networks in these areas. We first talk about our analysis system for optical site diversity based on registered locations over Japan and Australia. Next, we study groups of geographically separate locations corresponding to sites for optical ground stations to form an optical site diversity network over Japan and between Japan and Australia with their operation availabilities. Our discussions on the network topologies formed by these optical ground stations are also given: not only over Japan but also between Japan and Australia in the Asia-Pacific region to connect them with NASA’s and the ESA’s optical ground stations for international optical ground station networks.
Traduções de sinais de pontuação desacompanhados em HQs
Authors: Kleppa Lou-Ann
Published: December 2023

Comparamos quatro versões de uma mesma história em quadrinhos, a saber: Asterix, o gaulês no original (francês) e três traduções (inglês, alemão e português) focando atenção nos sinais de pontuação desacompanhados – que são os mesmos nas quatro línguas. Procuramos, portanto, por pontos de exclamação, interrogação e reticências que figuram em balões de fala de maneira avulsa, repetidos ou combinados entre si. A primeira questão que nos colocamos é verificar se, nas traduções, esses sinais são assumidos do original (os desenhos são) ou se são objeto de tradução (como todas as palavras). Confrontamos nossos achados com a hipótese de Neil Cohn de que os sinais de pontuação desacompanhados nos quadrinhos compõem uma morfologia visual, ou seja, são da ordem da imagem. A segunda questão está relacionada ao papel que esses sinais desacompanhados desempenham no painel, considerando que os desenhos já expressam o conteúdo dos balões de fala. Nossa conclusão é que os sinais de pontuação são sinais linguísticos – a prova disso é que são reescritos pelos tradutores – que desempenham papel semelhante aos gestos que acompanham a fala.
Intonation of simple interrogative statements in the Altai language

The paper presents preliminary results of a study based on experimental data on the intonation of a simple interrogative utterance in the Altai language. Based on the requested element, interrogative sentences can be divided into two types: full, referring to the entire sentence, and partial, which are questions. The purpose of a question determines whether it falls into the category of a modal one, to be answered by yes or no, or a dictal one, requiring additional information. Additionally, question types differ formally: dictal ones with interrogative words and modal ones with interrogative particles. Intonation is significant in expressing communicative goals and designing the syntactic structure of a sentence. The concept of intonation encompasses various prosodic methods for segmenting and organizing speech flow to convey the intended message. The intonation system is a complex combination of various prosodic means, including tonal, quantitative-dynamic, articulatory, and phonational. The experimental material for this study was recorded in the village of Yakonur, Ust-Khan district of the Altai Republic. The data were processed using the methodology adopted in the Laboratory of Experimental Phonetic Research of the Institute of Philology SB RAS. The analysis has revealed that the intonation contour of interrogative utterances in the Altai language varies depending on the presence and position of an interrogative marker. The peak of the intonation contour in questions falls on the interrogative word of the utterance. The pitch curve in questions exhibits a higher level of ending in comparison to the intonation of affirmative sentences.

In the long journey of development of a government increasingly multiply and enrich the understanding of the government itself, so that the concepts of government can be viewed from various angles and aspects that can further clarify the notion of the concept of government itself, one of which is the concept of the principle of governance. The existence of a Local Government in the system of government is an integral part of a system of state government or national government, even the concept and theoretical existence of local government is much earlier than the existence of elements of central government or state government. The principle of "Medebewin" as a relic of the Indies government system, at the beginning of the revolution, precisely in 1948, was called "uncompleted surrender", to overcome the principle of full-fledged decentralization. The difference with the principle of decentralization is that the "medebewind" governmental affairs are only handed over the task of execution alone, excluding the authority that determines the policies, the financing, and the execution workers. One of the principles of local governance that has been applied in Indonesia in the history of local governance is the Assistance Task Principle, apart from the principles of decentralization and deconcentration. The principle of the implementation of regional government consists of the principle of decentralization, the principle of deconcentration and the principle of co-administration. In Dutch legislation, between co-administration and medebewin are divided into two, namely mechanical medebewind or more detailed andfacultative medebewind or which provide wider freedom to determine the wisdom of the medebewind ". Definition of assistance task is; assignment with an obligation to account for its execution to the assignee. In its implementation the task of assistance has its own development and dynamics in accordance with the Law on Regional Government which regulates it.

F-government implementation is an effort to develop electronic-based governance to improve the quality of public services more effectively and efficiently. The city of Palembang is one of the cities in Indonesia that is trying to develop E-government in carrying out administrative affairs in its government. However, in the continuation of the use of E-government in the city of Palembang, many face problems and various problems so that it has not been able to run optimally as expected. to the people of Palembang. The purpose of this research is to find out how to evaluate the use of e-government websites at the Demang Lebaran urban village office. The theory used in this study uses a model developed by Stuflebeam known as the CIPP Evaluation Model. CIPP stands for this theory indicator, namely Context, Input, Process, Product. The results of this study indicate that the use of e-government websites among the people of the village of Demang Lebar Daun has not been going well until now. This is because there is still little public interest in using the website, this is because people think it is easier to do offline services to the office. Another obstacle reason is that there are still many people who are not digitally literate and are not accustomed to using cellphone devices, especially among the elderly. . So that this is a big task for the village of Demang Lebar Daun to continue to try to maximize the function of this e-government website.
