In this work, the adhesive and tribological characteristics of (TiZrNbYAl)N multilayer coatings were studied. The main goal of this work is to assess the influence of the number of layers on the adhesive and tribological characteristics of the (TiZrNbYAl)N coating deposited on 12Х18Н9Т steel substrates. A study of the distribution of elements over the depth of coatings using Auger electron spectroscopy showed that chemical elements are distributed quite evenly over the cross section of the coatings and the element distribution curves have sharp peaks. The presence of iron in the coating composition at a depth of more than 2 microns on the coating side indicates that an increase in electrical displacement ensures reliable adhesion of the coating to the steel substrate, which is confirmed by the results of testing the coatings for adhesive strength. An increase in the application time of each individual layer at Upp=-100 V and P= 4×10-3 Torr leads to an uneven distribution of elements throughout the thickness of the coatings and the formation of a relatively wide transition coating-substrate layer. Tests of the adhesive strength of coatings have shown that all coatings wear out when scratched, but do not peel off, i.e., they are destroyed by a cohesive mechanism associated with plastic deformation and the formation of fatigue cracks in the coating material. Different coating modes correspond to different values of acoustic emission depending on the load. It was determined that the coatings obtained at Upp =-100 V; P = 4×10-3 Torr showed high adhesive strength and some degree of delamination in the scratch area at the maximum test load. The results of tribological studies showed that (TiZrNbYAl)N coatings have a high friction coefficient, the average value of which is μ=0.85-0.95. Such values can be explained by the high roughness of wear tracks due to cohesive destruction of coatings.
Building digital resilience in the training of national security professionals and teachers of the «Defence of Ukraine»
Authors: Slyusar V. , Yablonska N. , Zayko L. , Panchenko N.
Published: October 2024

The article reveals the peculiarities of forming digital resilience of national security specialists and teachers of the «Defense of Ukraine» as an important factor in countering modern challenges and threats, ensuring stable development of society and protecting its digital future. It is noted that specialists should identify sources of threats to the country's information space and apply mechanisms to discredit them, as well as take into account the focus of the enemy's destructive actions on vulnerable groups through social networks and targeted advertising. It is emphasized that the formation of digital resilience can be quite effective when studying the educational component «Strategic Communications»”, during which future national security specialists and teachers of the «Defense of Ukraine» study such key elements of this type of communication as informing, influencing and persuading; information efficiency; coordination and deconfliction; «communication by action” and reducing the gap in the «say-do» construct. Building digital resilience in national security professionals and teachers of the Defence of Ukraine involves mastering the skills of creating their own and using specialized critical platforms and tools necessary to identify and counter hybrid threats. Attention is focused on the mechanisms of digital resilience formation as a concept of «Society 5.0», which has become a kind of theoretical challenge to the socio-economic and socio-cultural transformations that occur as a result of the total introduction of digital technologies. It is noted that in the context of the problem under study, there is a risk of uneven development of digital media by people, which actualizes the need to introduce mechanisms to intensify adaptive processes at the state level.
Evolution of political traditions and mentality of Ukrainian society
Authors: Hordiichuk O.
Published: October 2024

The article analyzes the processes of formation and evolution of political traditions and mentality of Ukrainian society, their impact on public sentiment and political decision-making, which can be both supportive and legitimate foundation, as well as rejection and denial, and an obstacle to political and economic development.
Due to the peculiarities of its historical development and geopolitical location, Ukraine has strong ties with European countries and shares similar values, and is geographically part of Europe. Ukrainian political traditions are based on support for democratic principles and freedoms, rejection of dictatorial authoritarian practices, the ability of Ukrainian society to self-organize and build effective horizontal ties, and individualism. Ukrainians, like Europeans, consider the dignity of the human person as a fundamental value, and violence as unacceptable and humiliating. During national revolutions and in times of war, Ukrainians bravely defend the Motherland, protecting their freedom even at the cost of their lives. These fundamental features of the Ukrainian political mentality contributed to the formation of the Ukrainian political nation, and in combination with Cossack military traditions, the experience of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army and a number of patriotic organizations, they influence the heroic military confrontation with Russia today.
However, the long stay of Ukrainian lands as part of other state entities, the imposition of different models of seeing the world, values, beliefs, the extermination of the political elite and patriotic activists and their families, etc. also reflected in the political traditions, moods, preferences, patterns of behavioral reactions of Ukrainian society. Especially destructive was the influence of Russian state entities, the period of being part of the USSR, which shaped the consciousness of homo soveticus – a cog in a totalitarian state system with limited rights and opportunities.

A new look at the digital camera of a 2-year-old infant: Through the perspective of expressive listening
Authors:   Korean Society for Young Children Becoming Curriculum, Lee EunHwa , Jung GaYoon
Published: October 2024

The purpose of this study is to find out the meaning of a two-year-old infant's digital camera play experience. The study was conducted involving seven two-year-old infants in the class of 'Sansaesori' from October 2022 to January 2023. As a director and researcher, the experiences of a two-year-old infant engaging in digital camera play were collected through photographs, videos, journals, and interview data for approximately four months. In the process of analyzing the collected data and writing, the researcher constantly thought diffractively and tried to reveal the play experience of a two-year-old infant in a meaningful way. As a result of the study, it was found that there had been a researcher's prejudice against the teaching, meaning, and sociality of infant play. Looking into infant play, the researcher recognized that the attitude of emergent listening which goes beyond prejudice against infant play was a significant part. By looking into the play of infants who enjoy digital camera play, this study revealed that infants are the subject and creator of play. It also suggested that teachers with infants should be able to reveal the educational value of infant play by renewing their perspectives and attitudes toward infants.
Critical Discourse Analysis of Smart Learning Advertisements Targeted at Young Children: Advertising as a Platform for the Reproduction of Pre-curriculum Learning
Authors:   Korean Society for Young Children Becoming Curriculum, Suh HyunSun , Kim JiYoung
Published: October 2024

Smart learning targeted at young children represents a fusion of traditional print-based study materials, previously delivered through home visits, with information and communication technology (ICT), utilizing devices such as tablet PCs and smart pens. This study focuses on the advertisements for smart learning targeted at young children, which have become ubiquitous with the widespread use of smartphones. The goal of this study is to critically analyze how pre-curriculum learning was signified based on the text of the website of smart learning devices for young children and explore the practical dimension of how this meaning plans the practice revealed by this pre-curriculum learning discourse. The main findings of the study are as follows: First, textual analysis reveals that smart learning advertisements targeted at young children portray decontextualized Korean language learning as the most appropriate method, diverging from the intended direction of early childhood education. Second, within the genre of commercial advertising, these smart learning advertisements gain authority and credibility through parental testimonials and celebrity endorsements, thereby legitimizing and promoting pre-curriculum learning practices for young children as a competitive advantage. Third, they spread the language of learning, not education, by linking with neoliberalism, meritocracy, and elitism that emphasize competition and performance. Finally, based on these findings, the study discusses potential directions for fostering synergy between early childhood education and the private education sector. The significance of this study lies in the fact that it is criticized for the pre-curriculum learning of shadow education advertisements, which have been influencing public education but lack academic interest, using the educative perspective.

Published: October 2024

One of the basic principles of treatment of tuberculosis patients is the appointment of treatment taking into account the drug resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MBT). However, during treatment, it may be necessary to change the intake regimen when new data on drug resistance become available. The search for ways to choose the optimal treatment method seems relevant.

Aim: To analyze the prescribed regimens and the reason for their correction in newly identified patients before verifying the diagnosis of tuberculosis.

Material and Methods. The following methods were used to detect MBT: luminescent microscopy, molecular genetic methods and seeding on liquid and solid media. Tests for drug sensitivity were conducted in parallel. The study group consisted of patients with established bacterial excretion (n = 79), whose diagnosis was confirmed by cultural methods. A retrospective method was used in the analysis.

Results. At the beginning of treatment with bacterioscopy and polymerase chain reaction methods MBT was detected in 65/79 (82.2%) cases, the remaining 14 cases were detected only by culture methods. Forced change of the therapy regimen during treatment after receiving the results was in 25/79 (31.6%) cases, of which 1/25 (4%) with isoniazid resistance, 7/25 (28%) with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, 17/25 (68%) with the pre-extensive drug resistance regimen. The latter was prescribed only after receiving results of tests for drug sensitivity on liquid and solid media after 1–3 months. The multidrug-resistant tuberculosis treatment regimen decreased after receiving data on resistance to fluoroquinolones in accordance with the seeding data, but the largest number of patients still remained on this regimen – 41/79 (51.9%). Among these patients a change in chemotherapy regimen from multidrug-resistant tuberculosis to pre-extensive drug resistance during the intensive phase of treatment occurred in 17/25 (68%).

Conclusion. When prescribing a regimen, it is recommended to assess the risk of changing the regimen and, if there are predictors, apply a chemotherapy regimen before treatment.

Published: October 2024

Entering the Covid-19 endemic period, the learning process at the Tarakanita College of Communication and Secretary (STARKI) has been carried out face to face between lecturers and students. Students' abilities in using digital media have increased. It's just that the problem is student ethics in using digital media. Based on several problems, such as the many screenshots of private conversations circulating in social media groups and uploading photos with other people without permission, research was conducted to determine the digital ethics index of STARKI students. Through descriptive quantitative research methods using the Proportionate Stratified Random Sampling technique, 196 people were obtained as respondents. From the results of the questionnaire, it can be explained that the digital ethics index for STARKI students for the 2022/2023 academic year is 79.23, which is included in the high category. This means that STARKI students understand to support government programs to prevent the spread of hate speech which often occurs in digital media by not inviting other people to comment negatively on digital media. However, there are still some STARKI students who still upload photos with other people without permission, still spontaneously upload photos of accidents, without permission still include other people in groups and even mark other people as friends, and share screenshots of private conversations via digital media. Thus, STARKI students' understanding of digital ethics still needs to be improved further until it reaches the maximum index.

Published: October 2024

This paper is an honest attempt to bring the ‘others’ women to main stream history or ‘Above History Line’ through the study of nāṭya literature Another purpose is to depart from the veśyā/gaṇikā–kulavadhū/kulastrī binaries and explore other women in terms of multiple categories. Nāṭya literature provides ample evidence to restore the history of urban marginalized women of all kinds, especially in the form of maids, slaves, stewardesses etc. This article seeks to highlight the importance of these women not only in the urban landscape but also in the pages of history. The lower folk represented in nāṭya literature, not only completes but complicate the picture of ancient Indian society. The other women represent who were not part of ruling class or propertied class or gift givers or chief courtesan but complete the narratives by being ascetics lady, queen’s retinue, female attendants of queens, household maids, personal maids, wardens of the private pleasure gardens of the palace, nurses, slave girls, helpers, guards, natis and even poor friends of heroines etc.
AN INTEGRATION OF SOFTWARE TESTING TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES WITH VISUAL GUI INTERFACE IN INDUSTRIAL PRACTICE
Authors: Yadu Priyanka , Narain Bhawana
Published: October 2024

Software testing with visual Graphical User Interface (GUI) techniques is being done while maintaining a high level of accuracy with the ever-growing demand for speedier delivery of high-quality software, often known as "Quality at Speed". The use of relevant testing methodology(s) and the choice of suitable test automation tools and frameworks are two key components for a successful and efficient software testing project. A mix of numerous distinct testing processes is often necessary when testing software to make sure it is up to par; the use of a single testing method will not be sufficient. Similar to the previous point, finding the right tool combination for automated testing is difficult because no single tool can meet all of the needs. The first step in performing successful and efficient software testing is to familiarize industrial professionals with the various testing techniques, tools, and frameworks. An in-depth examination of the various test automation tools and frameworks is provided in this paper. An explanation of the various frameworks for test automation was delivered after an overview of automated testing and the categories it fits under. Finally, a brief summary of a few of the most popular automation solutions was provided, along with a comparison of those programs.
ROLE OF THE GREEN ECONOMY IN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Rani Puspa , Sharma Shiromani
Published: October 2024

Effects that are Beneficial to the Natural World The green economy has the potential to play a number of vital functions, with the accomplishment of environmental sustainability and the development of solutions to major environmental challenges being two of the most important roles that it may potentially play. All of these tasks, as well as others, are within the scope of possibility for an economy that prioritizes environmental sustainability. This is made possible by the organization placing a significant emphasis on environmentally responsible business practices, renewable energy sources, and the effective use of available resources. As a direct consequence of this, there are a great many advantageous effects on the surrounding environment. These advantages can be seen all around. There is a connection between having a sustainable economy and reducing the amount of greenhouse gasses that are released into the atmosphere. The subsequent sentence provides further evidence of this link. One of the key goals of the transition to renewable energy sources and other energy efficiency measures is to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, which are among the most significant contributors to climate change. Other energy saving techniques also aim to improve overall energy efficiency. This target is one of the primary goals that must be accomplished during the transition.
CINEMA IN ITALY AND GERMANY: IN AN ERA OF FASCISM
Authors: Sharma Manoj
Published: October 2024

The rise of Fascism and Nazism in Italy and Germany respectively brought about several changes in filmmaking in those countries in the 1930s and the 1940s. The Nazis were aware of the use of cinema as an instrument of propaganda and established their cinema institutions and brought cinema under the control of the Ministry of Propaganda. The primary task of Nazis was to reshape the imagination and perception of the masses according to their persuasions. The Triumph of Will (1935), directed by Leni Riefenstahl, was the filmic referent of Hitler's glorification in colossal style; it was a product of her intimate relationship with Hitler and her Nazi affiliations.
In Germany, due to state repression and persecution several left-wing and Jewish filmmakers fled to various European countries. In 1926 in Italy the production of newsreels and documentaries was nationalized by the government, bringing them under state control. The Italian cinema during the Fascist rule (1922-43) was traditionally seen as a cinema of propaganda. Recent research on the films produced in Italy during the Fascist period points out that only a few films can be called “Fascist”, a huge number have nationalist and patriotic themes. It can be argued that the number of films produced was less important than the production ideology i.e. thematic concerns and degree of association with Fascist ideals. Under the Fascist rule of Mussolini, the kind of cinema being created was detached from reality and aimed at promoting an excellent image of Italy. It can be argued that restricting the intelligentsia and masses to a particular genre or style of cinema, which was away from reality, shows the authoritarian attitude and censorship intentions of the Fascist state.

Published: October 2024

Robotics integration in the renewable energy sectors of solar and biomass energy can change energy production, improve efficiency, and introduce sustainability practices. This review paper will address some of the economic and social benefits of robotics in such energy domains, specifically for the state of Bihar in India, where substantial challenges in the production of energy are present. To initiate, the paper will discuss the situation of solar and biomass energy in Bihar: where this state is still poor concerning the provision of electricity, which indicates the amount of dependency that the state has with the conventional energy, and thus how urgent the need is for alternative sustainable sources. We then analyze the appraisal of how robotics can maximize energy production through automation, precision agriculture, and predictive maintenance-cutting operational costs and therefore maximizing energy output. The paper discusses various robotic applications such as automated solar panel cleaning systems and biomass processing robots, about which emphasis was placed for improving productivity and operational efficiency. We also take into account the socio-economic impacts of introducing robotics into these energy sectors. Improved access to energy, through more efficient modes of production, holds the promise of lifting local economic performance and providing employment opportunities and reducing energy poverty. However, the paper also addresses some of the possible challenges, such as some displacement of jobs and hence the need for upgradation in skills in response to new technologies. To put this into perspective, the literature synthesis and case studies are reviewed below to give an overview of successful implementations of robotics in renewable energy globally. We further discuss policy recommendations and strategies that must be integrated into Bihar's energy framework to support sustainable development goals and address regional energy demands. Hence, in conclusion, the strategic deployment of robotics in solar and biomass energy does not merely serve to provide significant economic advantage but also contributes to social development of Bihar to ensure a viable and sustainable future of the energy world.

THE INDIAN COLLEGIUM SYSTEM: A CONGRUENCE OR AN ANTAGONISM TO THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC
Authors: S Gangadhara , Aithal K R
Published: October 2024

The word ‘democracy’, in its true sense and spirit, seeks to have a system of government with wholesome representation in all possible manner. The word ‘republic’ denotes the process of democracy, wherein the supreme power is possessed by the people and their elected or nominated representatives and doesn’t give any prerogative to the monarchy or such other forms of governance. The combination of ‘democratic republic’ is expected to have a system wherein the people have the privilege to elect their government officials and the head of the state will also be elected by the people. In such a system, is it justifiable, if the justice and pronouncements of the highest judicial authorities, the court system - the Supreme Court and the High Court incumbents, their appointments and transfers rest only with a few top notch officials of the same branch of the Government, i.e. the Supreme Court?   If not, what could be the possible and effective alternative structure and establishment to eliminate such lacuna.
RMSE POWER COEFFICIENT OF WIND TURBINES WITH INVERSE TOQUE-SPEED CONTROL
Authors: Choudhary Rishikesh , Jyotiraditya Kumar , Mahto Dipo
Published: October 2024

The Blade Element Momentum (BEM) method stands out among various turbine modelling techniques due to its integration of airfoil aerodynamics with momentum theory, allowing detailed force calculations on blade elements. While traditional methods like BEM and Wake Models are efficient for initial turbine design, advancements in computational power have enabled the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for more accurate simulations. Although these models are precise, they are computationally intensive, leading to the continued use of simpler empirical methods, such as the static power coefficient approach, in power system studies. Future research aims to validate and implement dynamic estimation models to account for wind variability and turbine control dynamics. Traditional constant torque-speed control strategies maintain a constant generator speed by using a fixed electromagnetic torque command and adjusting the pitch angle when wind speed exceeds the rated value. However, if the pitch control does not respond quickly enough, rotor acceleration can occur, leading to increased power beyond the generator’s rating. To mitigate this, the pitch control mechanism must react promptly to adjust the turbine's torque profile, ensuring convergence to the rated operating point and avoiding prolonged generator overload. To reduce the burden on the pitch-control system, an inverse torque-speed control approach is proposed, where the electromagnetic torque is dynamically adjusted based on real-time rotor speed data. This method aims to achieve rated power operation with improved responsiveness and reduced stress on the pitch-control mechanism.

Published: October 2024

Seeds physical and physiological qualities are primarily determined by seed physiological maturity. Seed enhancement technology has developed rapidly, including using ultrafine bubbles (UFB) and plasma-activated water (PAW) to increase seed viability. This study aimed to determine seed physiology maturity on okra seed to get the optimal harvesting period seeds and to examine the most effective seed enhancement plasma-activated water and ultrafine-bubble Water. The first experiment was arranged using completely randomized design with fruit maturity as the single factor, harvested at 3, 4, 5, or 6 weeks after anthesis (WAA), with three replications. The second experiment used factorial completely randomized design; the first factor is seed lots with different storage times (fresh seed and one-year storage seed), and the second factor seed invigoration using UFB (20 ppm dissolved oxygen) and PAW (10-, 20-, and 30-min exposure) as the second factor. Untreated seeds were used as control. Fifty seeds were used in each treatment. Okra seed physiological maturity was reached at 5 WAA based on seed dry weight, germination capacity, seedling vigor, and speed of germination. The pod color at 5 WAA is olive brown, and seed testa has dark greyish purple. Plasma-activated water at 10 minutes exposure increased the vigor index of seed lots stored for one year by 86% and PAW20 by 87%. Plasma activated water at 10-, 20- and 30-minutes exposures significantly increased the seedling vigor index and germination speed of fresh seeds harvested at 5 WAA.

Nitrogen fertilization plays a crucial role in supporting plant growth. However, nitrogen in the soil can be lost through rainwater leaching. To address this issue, the concept of fertilizing N-stabilizer-coated urea was proposed. The aim is to reduce nitrogen loss on the field due to vaporization and minimize greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of this N-stabilizer-coated urea in reducing nitrogen loss through vaporization, improving GHG emissions, and its impact on plant growth and leaf quality. The research was conducted at IPB-Cargill Jonggol, Bogor, West Java, oil palm education and research station from August 2021 to March 2022. The experimental design employed a completely randomized block design. The fertilizer treatments included four types of nitrogen fertilizers: urea (46% N), coated urea with N-stabilizer (46% N), ZA (21% N), and NPK (15-15-15, 15% N). Additionally, a control treatment without any fertilizer application was included. All treatments were replicated three times. Data analysis was done using the SAS (Statistical Analysis System) 9.0 program. The F-test was conducted, followed by DMRT (Duncan Multiple Range Test) advanced tests at a 5% error level. The results revealed that urea with N-stabilizer fertilization significantly reduced NH3-vaporization by 53% in the first week compared to the application of normal urea. NH3-vaporization level from ZA and NPK was < 1% compared to urea application. Field application of urea with N-stabilizer showed no significant difference in greenhouse gas emission (GHG) compared to the other nitrogen fertilizer types. The GHG values ranged from 7.10 to 7.29 g CO2-e.m-2 per day. The use of N-stabilizer-coated urea could be an effective approach to minimize nitrogen loss through vaporization and reduce greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining comparable results to other nitrogen fertilizer types in terms of GHG emissions on the field.

Purpose: This study explains the internalization of Islam into the organizational culture in Islamic banks.Design/methodology: BPR Syariah Maslahat Dana Syariah Nusantara in Bengkulu City was appointed as a single case study. A semi-structured interview technique has been used, in addition to direct observation and several document collections such as bank profiles, meeting minutes, photos of activities, and monthly work recaps. All data were grouped, while interviews and observations were transcribed, coded, and categorized keywords.Findings: This article shows that the internalization of Islam in organizations is carried out simultaneously through written administrative regulations. The activities are congregational prayers at Zuhr time, reading several hadiths after prayer, weekly recitations in the office, reading Yasin’s letter every Friday morning, and monthly recitations carried out alternately at employees’ homes. In addition, several forms of Islamic values are also reflected in many practices: greeting and smiling to customers, speaking according to etiquette to coworkers, and wearing clothes that conform to Islamic standards.Practical implications: We have taken best practices from the implementation of Islamic organizational culture in banks and similar institutions. The culture and values can be modified according to the existing working procedures.Originality/Value: The conceptualization of Islamic organizational culture has been a topic of discussion. However, there is a dearth of documentation regarding best practices in Islamic banking. This study aims to provide insights into the adoption of effective practices at the organizational level within the Islamic banking sector.
