Evaluating different strategies in Ukraine and its effects on the international systems
Authors: Etesami Soheil , Ghadiri Hossein
Published: February 2024

The recent war between Russia and Ukraine, which is considered as the biggest and most important military conflict in Europe after the Second World War, will leave deep consequences on the relations of countries in addition to the pervasive effects on the level of the international system. A crisis in one region affects the interests of other actors in other regions; therefore, the disruption of the balance of power in the relations between the great powers following Russia's attack on Ukraine includes opportunities and threats for international actors. Based on this, the current article aimed to answer the question, “What impact will Russia-Ukraine conflict have on the international system?”. The research hypothesis was proposed in such a way that the recent crisis in Ukraine can affect the international system in economic, security, and social axes. The findings of the research showed that the war in Ukraine would probably have had global effects on the food, energy and economic systems. The analysis method used in this research was descriptive and analytical, and to achieve the main goal of the research, which was to investigate the possible effects of the war between Russia and Ukraine on the international system and global actors, the theoretical framework of offensive realism was used.

Authors: Dalmolin Zortéa Adriel , Pugliese Vera
Published: February 2024

O artigo debruça-se sobre a série Pratos, de Adriana Varejão, a partir de questões teóricas abertas pela presença da imagem da Ninfa na obra do teórico e historiador da arte Aby Warburg, bem como nos desdobramentos pensados pelo filósofo e historiador da arte francês Georges Didi-Huberman. Considera-se as obras Pérola Imperfeita, Nascimento de Ondina e Sereias bêbadas (2009), e Ama divers (2011) da artista, principalmente em diálogo com a Prancha 39 do Bilderatlas Mnemosyne (1927-1929), de Warburg. A partir dessa associação, discute-se Pratos face à sobreposição de três questões: o Nachleben der Antike dos deuses pagãos; a Pathosformel da Ninfa; e, a possível correspondência entre água e Ninfa, avançando a hipótese, central para os estudos warburguianos, de dissolução entre sujeito e objeto.

Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Klymenko N. NATALIIA
Published: February 2024

Ensuring food security is the primary strategy of the state agricultural policy of Ukraine because, despite the crisis phenomenon provoked by the armed aggression of the Russian Federation, the country's agro-industrial complex remains one of the drivers of support for the national economy of Ukraine and acts as a guarantor of food security for many countries of the world. The methodological basis of the research was modern general and unique methods of scientific knowledge, inductive and deductive, analysis, synthesis and generalization, and forecasting. Economic, social, political, and technological factors are identified among the factors contributing to or hindering the implementation of innovative state policy during the study. It has been established that to increase the efficiency of innovative activity in Ukraine, it is necessary to develop a national innovation strategy and action plan that will determine the priorities, goals, indicators, and mechanisms of innovation policy in the agro-industrial complex to ensure food security and increase the competitiveness of agricultural products on world markets. A mandatory condition for its implementation is the provision of adequate financing, tax, and other incentives for implementing innovative projects by subjects of agricultural production. Ukraine has significant potential for innovative development of the agro-industrial complex to ensure food security. At the same time, this is hindered by several problems related to insufficient funding and insufficient institutional support for innovative activities, low interaction and cooperation between the research, educational, business, and government sectors, lack of commercialization and technology transfer, insufficient market and demand orientation, low competitiveness and internationalization of innovative Ukrainian products and services, etc. Therefore, to increase the efficiency of innovative activity, it is necessary to develop a national innovation strategy and an action plan that will determine priorities, goals, indicators, and mechanisms of innovation policy and provide adequate financing, tax, and other incentives for innovative projects and subjects of innovative activity in the agro-industrial complex to ensure food security.

Relevansi Peraturan Daerah Kota Palembang No 5. Tahun 2022 Terhadap Permasalahan Backlog dan Banjir di Kota Palembang
Authors: Ali Raden Ahmad Nur , Putri Tengku Aurelia Melinda Anissawari
Published: February 2024

ABSTRACT
Regional regulation No. 5 Of 2022, which requires a minimum PSU  40% of site plan area. This has raised doubts about the relevance of these regulations to problems in Palembang (Backlogs and flooding). So, this research aims to find out how big the impact and risks will arise from implementing this rule. To carry out this proof, the method applied is to carry out calculations / simulations of property development (in this case housing) which is directed towards subsidized housing as a benchmark for the impact of implementing this regulation. And after carrying out 2 property development cases, it was found that regional regulation No. 5 of 2022, is unable to resolve the backlog problem and even risks exacerbating the flooding problem. The implementation of regulation also indirectly reduces opportunities for the development of subsidized housing in the Palembang city area. For this reason, it would be a good idea for the Palembang city government to review this regulation in order to provide certainty of adequate housing and maintain investment (economic) growth in the city of Palembang.

ABSTRAK
Dengan terbitnya peraturan Daerah Kota Palembang No. 5 Tahun 2022 dimana didalamnya terdapat pasal 7 yang mewajibkan persentase PSU minimal 40% dari luasan Siteplan. Telah menimbulkan keraguan akan relevansi aturan tersebut dengan permasalahan di Kota Palembang seperti (Backlog dan banjir). Maka penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui seberapa besar dampak yang ditimbulkan dan resiko apa yang akan ditimbulkan dari penerapan aturan ini. Untuk melakukan pembuktian itu maka metode yang diterapkan adalah melakukan perhitungan / simulasi pengembagan properti (dalam hal ini perumahan) yang diarahkan untuk perumahan subsidi sebagai tolak ukur dampak dari penerapan perda ini . dan setelah dilakukan pada 2 (dua) kasus pengembangan properti didapatkan bahwa perda No. 5 Tahun 2022, tidak mampu menyelesaikan permasalahan backlog dan bahkan beresiko memperparah masalah banjir. Penerapan perda no 5. Tahun 2022 juga secara tidak langsung memperkecil peluang pengembangan perumahan subsidi di wilayah kota Palembang. untuk itu ada baiknya pemerintah kota Palembang untuk meninjau Kembali peraturan ini demi memberikan kepastian akan hunian yang layak dan menjaga pertumbuhan investasi (ekonomi) di Kota Palembang.

Examining Customer Value Cocreation Behavior in Boutique Hotels: Hospitableness, Perceived Value, Satisfaction, and Citizenship Behavior
Authors: Yu Chenyang , Liang Lena Jingen , Choi Hs Chris
Published: February 2024

Distinguished from the goods-dominant logic, service-dominant logic has suggested customers are value cocreators. However, in boutique hotels where services are highly individualized and interactive between hotel staff and customers, the role of customer value cocreating might be different
compared to a normal service encounter. Yet limited studies have demonstrated whether customers’ value cocreation behaviors have changed in boutique hotels and its corresponding mechanism. This study aims to fulfill this gap by examining customer value cocreation behavior (i.e., citizenship
behavior via feedback, advocacy, helping and tolerance) from the impact of hospitableness (personalization, warm welcome, deeper connection, and comfort), perceived value, and satisfaction. Data were obtained in China via an online marketing research panel. Results from confirmatory factor
analysis (CFA) and structural equation modelling (SEM) showed that both hospitableness and perceived value positively affect satisfaction, while perceived value also partially mediates the relationship between hospitableness and satisfaction. An interesting finding indicates that satisfaction
impacts citizenship behavior in a following descending order: advocacy, feedback, helping, and tolerance. Two demographic variables (i.e., marital status, household incomes) were found to moderate the relationship between satisfaction and citizenship behavior. This study contributes to the
literature on service-dominant logic, value cocreation, and boutique guest experiences. Managerial implications for facilitating the value cocreation process are also discussed.
T Cell Dysfunction in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Authors: Gustin Hanna , Raveinal  , Dwitya Elvira
Published: February 2024

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune inflammatory disease that can affect many organs in the body with very diverse clinical appearances. The prevalence of SLE in each country varies. The Lupus Foundation of America estimates that around 1.5 million cases occur in America and at least 5 million cases occur worldwide. The pathophysiology of SLE is very complex. The involvement of innate and adaptive immunity in the initiation and pathophysiology of SLE disease shows that there are interactions between leukocytes, cytokines, chemokines and tissue cells. T cells are the main component of the adaptive immune system which can kill infected host cells, activate other immune cells, produce cytokines and regulate immune responses. T cell dysfunction in SLE includes triggering inflammation through the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, helping B cells produce autoantibodies and the accumulation of autoreactive T cells. Aberrations in T cells could be a therapeutic target for development and a potential SLE therapy.

Authors: Jian Liu , Yi Yang , Shan Chen , Taohua Pan
Published: February 2024

Elevated level of serum C-reactive protein, a systemic inflammation biomarker, is associated with periodontitis, a common inflammatory condition. This meta-analysis aimed to determine the effects of nutritional interventions on serum C-reactive protein levels in patients with periodontitis. We searched the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases according to PRISMA guidelines, including articles published until December 2023. The articles were selected according to predetermined inclusion criteria, and data extraction and quality assessment were conducted utilizing the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and standardized forms. Seven out of 438 identified articles met the inclusion criteria. We found that patients with periodontitis had a statistically significant correlation between nutritional interventions and decreased serum C-reactive protein levels (p < 0.05). The interventions included specified dietary modifications and dietary supplements, including vitamin C and folic acid. Diverse patient demographics and intervention categories were observed across the identified articles. Thus, this meta-analysis confirmed that nutritional interventions can reduce serum C-reactive protein levels in patients with periodontitis; therefore, dietary modification is essential in managing the systemic inflammation associated with periodontal disease.
Mini-review on the antimicrobial potential of actinobacteria associated with seagrasses
Authors: Siro Galana , Pipite Atanas
Published: February 2024

The search for novel therapeutic agents to combat the crisis of antimicrobial resistance has spanned from terrestrial to unique, marine environments. Currently, most of the drugs available for usage are derived from microbial metabolites, especially those belonging to the bacterial group, actinobacteria. Actinobacteria are hotspot organisms that exist in all habitats with a myriad of unique biosynthetic metabolites. Seagrasses appear to be a key ecosystem within the coastal environment worth bioprospecting for novel natural products. Unfortunately, literature about the bioactive potential of their associated prokaryotes, including actinobacteria remains limited. In this context, this review focused on actinobacteria with antibiotic-producing capabilities derived from different parts of seagrass plants (i.e. roots, rhizomes, and leaves). To date, there were no purified molecules derived from seagrass-associated actinobacteria that were subjected to structure elucidation. From the underpinning of numerous biological profiles such as antibacterial, antifungal, and algicidal activities of seagrass-derived actinobacteria reported in this review during the period from 2012–2020, it provides a continual growth of knowledge accruing overtime, providing a foundation for future research.

Authors: Almeida Bruno Cardoso Braga de , Soares Juliana de Souza , Silva José Roselito Carmelo da
Published: February 2024

Objetivo: O objetivo principal do estudo foi utilizar o geoprocessamento como procedimento para análise morfométrica e densidade da cobertura vegetal do fragmento florestal do igarapé da Vovó, Manaus-AM. Métodos: Foram utilizadas imagens Shuttle Radar Topography Mission - SRTM, dados de hidrografia em formato shapefile e, imagens do satélite Landsat 5 e 8 sendo processados no software Qgis 3.30. Na análise morfométrica, foram verificados os parâmetros de área, perímetro, comprimento, altitude, padrão de drenagem e hierarquia fluvial. No Índice de Vegetação por Diferença Normalizada – NDVI utilizou-se uma escala temporal de 10 anos a partir de um cálculo proposto por Rouse (1972). Resultados: Na análise morfométrica, verificou-se que o igarapé da Vovó possui um padrão de drenagem paralela, formado por três canais de primeira ordem e um de segunda ordem. No entanto, o fragmento florestal vem sofrendo uma redução, tanto da sua área quanto do seu perímetro. Esse cenário também pode ser analisado concomitante ao NDVI, pois a densidade de vegetação diminuiu ao longo dos anos, no qual atualmente sofreu uma redução exatamente na porção mais alta do fragmento florestal. Conclusão: Portanto, as geotecnologias possibilitaram associar a morfometria com a vegetação em grande escala cartográfica com o intuito de analisar a importância da vegetação para o Igarapé da Vovó. Espera-se que com a pesquisa possa contribuir em futuros relacionados ao fragmento florestal e também ao igarapé.
A RECONFIGURAÇÃO DOS PRECONCEITOS E DAS DIVERSAS ESTRATÉGIAS DE DESCREDIBILIZAÇÃO DAS RELIGIÕES MEDIÚNICAS: UMA ANÁLISE DAS CONTINUIDADES PRESENTES NAS NARRATIVAS JURÍDICAS DOS SÉCULOS XIX E XXI
Authors: GOMES Adriana
Published: February 2024

Este artigo investiga as religiões que integram práticas mediúnicas, geralmente referidas coletivamente como Espiritismo durante o oitocentos. Na Primeira República brasileira, essas tradições religiosas, com suas características distintas, foram objeto de medidas legais restritivas. Documentos judiciais evidenciam processos criminais direcionados a adeptos tanto da Doutrina Espírita estabelecida por Allan Kardec quanto a praticantes de cultos afro-brasileiros, categorizando-os conforme o artigo 157 do Código Penal de 1890. O foco deste estudo reside na exegese desse dispositivo legal, objeto de debates entre magistrados brasileiros da época, seja em sua defesa, seja em sua contestação. João Baptista Pereira, figura proeminente na legislação penal da nação, sustentou a visão de que o espiritismo constituía um “crime indígena”. A carência de entendimento acerca das tradições mediúnicas e as múltiplas interpretações sobre elas, amalgamadas ao preconceito, engendraram e ainda suscitam percepções discriminatórias que interpelam o arcabouço jurídico brasileiro e os princípios de liberdade religiosa. Estas reflexões são abordadas a partir de um prisma histórico do século XIX e são complementadas por uma análise crítica de um processo civil datado de 2014 no Rio de Janeiro, no qual práticas religiosas afro-brasileiras foram menosprezadas mediante argumentações que ecoam os fundamentos da criminalização do espiritismo no ocaso do oitocentos.

A profissão docente é complexa, pois integra produção do conhecimento e relações humanas. Estas relações implicam ao docente construir um conjunto de estratégias que não se restrinjam apenas a contribuir com o desenvolvimento cognitivo do estudante, mas também, envolver-se em uma trama de dimensões culturais, sociais e psicológicas próprias do interagir com o outro. Discutir as dificuldades e potencialidades da formação de professores se faz necessário, tendo em vista que estes profissionais são responsáveis por boa parte da melhoria na qualidade da educação. É neste contexto, que este trabalho visa discutir o processo de formação docente a partir de projetos colaborativos entre universidade e escola, analisar as contribuições e limites da formação inicial aliada ao PIBID e os Novos Talentos, ambos financiados pela CAPES. Nele, analisa-se como o PIBID e os Novos Talentos estão sendo inseridos no curso de formação inicial de professores de Geografia da Universidade Estadual do Centro-Oeste – UNICENTRO, campus CEDETEG, localizado na cidade de Guarapuava-PR. Para isso, utilizar-se-á a metodologia da pesquisa participante. Apresentam-se aqui alguns resultados alcançados a partir da pesquisa realizada com alunos (pibidianos e não pibidianos) da quarta série do curso de licenciatura em Geografia, e de observações realizadas no PIBID e na implementação dos Novos Talentos, com as quais foi possível analisar as contribuições destes programas para a formação profissional docente. A pesquisa realizada evidenciou que ambos os programas têm sido fundamentais para a formação inicial e continuada de professores, sobretudo pela troca de experiências entre universidade e escola.

Este trabalho tem por objetivo estudar as ligas dos sistemas Al-Cu-Ni e Al-Ni, solidificada em um dispositivo de solidificação unidirecional ascendente,ou seja, que permite um ambiente propício à extração de calor em uma direção. Analisou-se a solidificação direcional com fluxo de calor transiente e solidificação ascendente, foram realizadas as análises metalográficas das ligas, macroestrutura e microestrutura com medida de espaçamento interdendrítico secundário, Microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV) e Espectroscopia de energia dispersiva de raios-X (EDS), foram realizados ensaios de dureza correlacionando-os com os espaçamentos interdendríticos secundários. Em relação aos resultados observou-se nas análises metalográficas grãos direcionados verticalmente e microestrutura dendríticas, também foi constatado que em regiões mais próximas da interface extratora de calor a microestrutura apresenta-se mais refinada, por ter relação direta, segundo a literatura, com a taxa de resfriamento que se dá em valores maiores justamente nessa região. Além disso, a dureza dos materiais variam com a aumento do espaçamento dendrítico, ou seja, o espaçamento é inversamente proporcional à dureza. A resistência da liga do sistema ternário AlCuNi apresentou maior resistência que as do sistema binário AlNi, com aproximadamente 300 HB na região R1 enquanto que as ligas de Al-Ni apresentou dureza na faixa de 90 HB e 190 HB, respectivamente, Al-2,5%Ni e Al-9%Ni.

Tuberculosis has remained the principal cause of mortality worldwide, and one of the major sources of concern is drug-resistant TB. The increasing emergence of extensively drug-resistant and multidrug-resistant TB has further increased the TB epidemic. In this current work, we suggest a model to study the transmission of TB with extensively drug-resistant and multidrug-resistant compartments, incorporating chemoprophylaxis treatment. In the theoretical analysis, the concept of the next-generation matrix and the Jacobian method are applied to obtain a formula that states the reproductive number. The existence of endemic and disease-free equilibrium points was checked, and their stability has been analyzed using the Lyapunov method. The qualitative-based analysis indicated the local asymptotic stability of the disease-free-state for R0 1, whereas the endemic state is globally asymptotically stable if R0 1. Moreover, sensitivity analysis was carefully done using normalized forward sensitivity, and numerical simulation was carried out. Based on the results of numerical simulation and sensitivity analysis, chemoprophylaxis treatment was found to drastically minimize the progression of exposed individuals to infectious classes and also reduce the progression to extensively drug-resistant and multidrug-resistant classes, which decreases disease transmission.

This article implements the thinning process algorithm, which has been generalized for estimators of compound periodic Poisson processes. The use of generalizations in the algorithm has been prepared with a linear trend in the periodic elements. This research aims to discuss estimators of the variance function. The method used in this research is the simulation method. Simulation results using a generalized algorithm thinning process show that in the case of a limited observation time interval, some estimators are good enough to approach the actual value. As the value of n increases, the simulated value of the estimator moves towards the predicted value. This is following the lemmas, theorems, and consequences that have been discussed. It was also found that several estimators were quite slow. This results in the movement of the bias, variance, and MSE values of the estimators being slow, even though they are moving towards 0. So that further modifications can be made to the model being studied.

The metaverse is an envisioned realm offering immersive digital spaces, bolstering highly interactive environments within educational contexts. This digital dimension amplifies synchronous communication, uniting a vast number of users as they share their unique experiences. This research aims to scrutinize the perceptions of elementary students towards the metaverse system (MS). Our proposed model underwent validation through the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) technique. Data, sourced from 287 students of Dubai National School, revealed that the primary predictor of students' intent to engage with the MS is personal innovativeness. This is followed closely by perceived usefulness and then perceived ease of use. The findings of this research provide deeper insights into the driving factors behind the adoption of MS among young learners.

Combination of the concepts of power graph and Cayley graph associated to groups has led to the introduction to two new variations of Cayley graph known as the union power Cayley graph and the intersection power Cayley graph. The set of vertices for both graphs consist of the elements of a finite group G. Consider any inverse-closed subset S of G, two vertices x and y are adjacent in the union power Cayley graph if 〖xy〗^(-1)∈S or if either one is an integral power of the other. Furthermore, x and y are adjacent in the intersection power Cayley graph if 〖xy〗^(-1)∈S and if either one is an integral power of the other. In this paper, the generalization of the union power Cayley graphs and the intersection power Cayley graphs of the dihedral groups with order 2n, for n≥3 and n=P^m;P is prime and m is a natural number, relative to a specific subset containing rotation elements in the groups is found. In addition, properties of these graphs including the clique numbers, vertex chromatic numbers, girths and diameters are computed. Finally, the characteristics of the graphs, whether they are connected, regular, complete, and planar are also determined.
