Exploring the Impact of Makeup on Gendered Ideas of Femininity among Transgender Women in India
Authors: Atri Samairaa
Published: October 2024

Abstract: In the context of India, where gender norms are deeply entrenched in patriarchal structures and the binary understanding of gender, this research investigates the impact of makeup on the gendered ideas of femininity among transgender individuals. Makeup serves as an expression of the self and a means for self-evaluation and self-enhancement. Transgender individuals are judged by society according to cisnormative gender stereotypes that include many components of gender characteristics and traits.1 The focus of this study is the perceptions of beauty, specifically the perceptions of transgender women’s beauty. Gender norms around femininity and masculinity are reflected in the gendered concept of beauty, which frequently determines what is seen as beautiful for each gender. Traditional ideas of femininity, for instance, place a strong emphasis on qualities like grace, gentleness, and nurturing. These characteristics may manifest as desires for physical features such as long hair, radiant complexions, and hourglass bodies. In contrast, characteristics linked to masculinity, such as power, aggression, and dominance, may affect how attractive men are perceived, emphasizing muscularity and angular features. Stereotypes related to physical attractiveness are a presiding element of gender stereotypes, as they are strongly and consistently associated with other components of gender stereotypes.2 While makeup is often associated with femininity, its significance and implications for transgender individuals within the cultural context of India remain understudied. Through qualitative methods such as semi-structured interviews, demographic questionnaires followed by focus groups as well as thematic analysis, along with discrepancy theory and self-image congruity, this study explores how transgender individuals in India navigate femininity through makeup practices, examining their experiences, perceptions, and challenges. Within a culture that enforces criteria on acceptable appearance for women, transgender women (i.e., those who were assigned male at birth and identify as women or feminine) may internalise cultural messages about ideal attractiveness related to traditional feminine gender presentation norms such as thinness and beauty (Serano, 2007). The hypothesis suggests a positive correlation between the use of makeup and perceived femininity. By investigating the experiences and narratives of transgender individuals, this research seeks to provide insights into the impact of such an invention on self-perception. Additionally, the study will investigate potential factors that may influence the relationship between the two, such as socio-cultural norms, and support systems. The findings of this research may contribute to a better understanding of the needs and challenges faced by transgender individuals in India and inform the development of more inclusive cosmetic policies.

Published: October 2024

The Schwinger model is one of the simplest gauge theories. It is known that a topological term of the model leads to the infamous sign problem in the classical Monte Carlo method. In contrast to this, recently, quantum computing in Hamiltonian formalism has gained attention. In this work, we estimate the resources needed for quantum computers to compute physical quantities that are challenging to compute on classical computers. Specifically, we propose an efficient implementation of block-encoding of the Schwinger model Hamiltonian. Considering the structure of the Hamiltonian, this block-encoding with a normalization factor of O(N3) can be implemented using O(N+log2⁡(N/ε)) T gates. As an end-to-end application, we compute the vacuum persistence amplitude. As a result, we found that for a system size N=128 and an additive error ε=0.01, with an evolution time t and a lattice spacing a satisfying t/2a=10, the vacuum persistence amplitude can be calculated using about 1013 T gates. Our results provide insights into predictions about the performance of quantum computers in the FTQC and early FTQC era, clarifying the challenges in solving meaningful problems within a realistic timeframe.
Quantum Multiple Eigenvalue Gaussian filtered Search: an efficient and versatile quantum phase estimation method
Authors: Ding Zhiyan , Li Haoya , Lin Lin , Ni HongKang , Ying Lexing , Zhang Ruizhe
Published: October 2024

Quantum phase estimation is one of the most powerful quantum primitives. This work proposes a new approach for the problem of multiple eigenvalue estimation: Quantum Multiple Eigenvalue Gaussian filtered Search (QMEGS). QMEGS leverages the Hadamard test circuit structure and only requires simple classical postprocessing. QMEGS is the first algorithm to simultaneously satisfy the following two properties: (1) It can achieve the Heisenberg-limited scaling without relying on any spectral gap assumption. (2) With a positive energy gap and additional assumptions on the initial state, QMEGS can estimate all dominant eigenvalues to ϵ accuracy utilizing a significantly reduced circuit depth compared to the standard quantum phase estimation algorithm. In the most favorable scenario, the maximal runtime can be reduced to as low as log⁡(1/ϵ). This implies that QMEGS serves as an efficient and versatile approach, achieving the best-known results for both gapped and gapless systems. Numerical results validate the efficiency of our proposed algorithm in various regimes.

The problem of stunting in Indonesia is still quite high, namely 21,6% based on data from the 2022 Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey (SSGI). One of the effective measures to control stunting is through providing additional food (PMT) such as biscuits to children. Carrots and pumpkin are local foods that are rich in beta carotene. Carotenoids as a source of provitamin A are able to overcome the problem of vitamin A deficiency (VAD), which is the cause of growth disorders in children. This research aims to determine the effect of substitution of yellow pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) and carrot (Daucus carota L.) composite flour on organoleptic characteristics including color, aroma, taste, texture and nutritional content (beta carotene, carbohydrates, protein and fat). This research used a Randomized Block Design (RAK) with 3 treatments, namely formula 1 (150 grams of wheat flour, 50 grams of pumpkin flour and 50 grams of carrot flour), formula 2 (50 grams of wheat flour, 60 grams of pumpkin flour and 50 grams of flour carrots) and formula 3 (50 grams of wheat flour, 50 grams of pumpkin flour and 150 grams of carrot flour) with 3 repetitions. The research results showed that formula 3 biscuits were the best formulation in terms of organoleptic characteristics with the highest beta carotene content compared to F1 and F2. F3 biscuits contain 30,97 mg beta carotene, 7,45 grams of carbohydrates, 3,22 grams of protein and 8,89 grams of fat. The conclusion of this research is that the substitution of wheat flour with composite flour (Cucurbita moschata and Daucus carota L.) has an effect on the nutritional content (beta carotene, carbohydrates, protein and fat) of biscuits. Consuming pumpkin biscuits per 100 grams can qualify as a good source of the antioxidant beta carotene.

The Russian vernacular from the second half of the 19th to the first half of the 20th century
Authors: Eremin Alexander
Published: October 2024

The article considers two issues: I) the content and history of the term
?vernacular?, II) non-linguistic and linguistic reasons for the formation
and transformation of the vernacular into a common substandard. The author
believes that vernacular is a natural non-literary, everyday, generally
understandable form of existence of the national language - i.e. speech,
which is characterized by a significant and immanently conditioned
representation of vernacular lexemes, accentology, morphological and
grammatical forms, etc., which functioned in large cities, primarily Moscow
and St. Petersburg (Leningrad), from about the second half of the 19th
century until the 1970?s. The vernacular basically contains an interdialect.
The functioning of the vernacular was associated with the growth of the
urban population in large cities. This population, representing the majority
of peasants from different regions of Russia, used an interdialect, or
vernacular, for communication. On the periphery of this sublanguage, there
were various kinds of interference from the jargons and
nominations-localities of the city. The vernacular had linguistic features
at all levels of the language, but above all at the lexico-semantic level.
Since about the 1970?s, under the influence of education and improved means
of communication, it began to transform. Today, its place is taken by
interjargon, which in linguistics is called ?common substandard?
(?????? 2001), ?common jargon? (???????? et al. 1999),
?vernacular-2? (?????? 1998), etc. The vocabulary of the old vernacular
has partially gone into the passive language stock, or has moved to the
periphery of the new general substandard.
Unveiling homophobia: A study of attitudes in Serbian society
Authors: Radoman Marija , Petrovic Irena
Published: October 2024

The main goal of this study is to analyse attitudes towards gays and lesbians in Serbia, as well as across the broader region and Europe. Conclusions regarding homophobia are drawn from data gathered through several empirical studies, namely: the ninth and tenth rounds of the European Social Survey (ESS), conducted in 2018 and 2021, and three surveys conducted by the Institute for Sociological Research in 2003, 2012, and 2018. Comprehensive research material allows for the tracking of changes in attitudes within Serbia over the past two decades (2003-2021). In the first part, we address contextual factors related to the legal and social position of the LGBTIQ population in Serbia. This part also includes various measurement instruments and definitions used in studies since the 1980s, concerning different types of negative attitudes (prejudices) towards lesbians and gay men. In the second part, we present data for Serbia as well as comparative data on homophobia across the region and Europe. As hypothesised, research results show that significant levels of homophobia persist over time, with no considerable changes in two decades. We believe that this paper will make a meaningful contribution to research on attitudes towards LGBTIQ in Serbia and the region by offering a comparative perspective, thus addressing a gap in the study of homophobia in post-socialist countries.
Public attitudes towards prostitution in Bulgaria in the context of social and legal neglection
Authors: Petrunov Georgi
Published: October 2024

The article discusses the public perception of prostitution and its
regulation in Bulgaria in the light of absence of knowledge-based
discussions and legal regulation. A starting point for the paper is the
premise that due to the specifics of the studied social phenomenon, the
public opinion is one of the important components required in the process of
acceptance of legal regulation towards prostitution, in accordance with the
national context. The paper presents briefly the existing regulation models
for prostitution around the world. It makes an overview of the sporadic
initiatives to introduce regulation of prostitution in Bulgaria. The data
used in the text is from two public opinion surveys on prostitution in
Bulgaria, representative of the adult Bulgarian population. The surveys were
carried out in 2010 and 2020 by reputable sociological agencies using
questionnaires prepared by the author. The results of the two surveys,
conducted with a 10-year gap, offer an important comparative perspective
with regard trends and changes in the public attitudes towards prostitution.
The attitudes towards the different types of regulation on prostitution as
well as the differences in the opinion about the phenomenon depending on
gender, age, education, settlement and ethnicity are explored. The
importance of the relationship between moral judgments and (lack of)
knowledge in the creation of public policies is discussed.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk meningkatkan literasi matematis siswa dengan mengintegrasikan model Problem Based Learning dengan pendekatan Teaching at The Right Level. Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian tindakan kelas yang biasa disebut dengan PTK. Instrumen yang digunakan dalam penelitian yaitu instrumen observasi dan instrumen tes. Hasil dari penelitian siklus 1 dengan rata-rata skor kemampuan literasi matematis siswa adalah 46,54 mengalami peningkatan pada siklus 2 menjadi 66,92. Sedangkan, persentase ketuntasan klasikal siklus 1 hanya mencapai 23,08% (13 siswa mendapat nilai ≥ 70) juga mengalami peningkatan pada siklus 2 menjadi 61,54% (21 siswa mendapat nilai ≥ 70).
WHISTLEBLOWING SYSTEMS AS AN EFFORT TO PREVENT FRAUD IN STATE UNIVERSITIES WITH LEGAL RIGHTS (PTN-BH)
Authors: Rozali Rozmita , Fitriani Indah
Published: October 2024

The Integrity Zone was created to eliminate fraud, and one of the channels to prevent fraud was the whistleblowing system. This research aims at obtaining an overview of the implementation of the Whistleblowing System at Legal Entity State Universities (PTNBH) and the impact of its implementation on preventing fraud. The urgency of this research was to find out how much influence the whistleblowing system had as a mechanism for preventing fraud. This research methodology used a qualitative approach using in-depth interviews, the human resources used were the leaders of SPI ITB, IPB, and UGM, and then the data was analyzed using source triangulation and data triangulation. The results of this research found that with strong internal controls at the three PTNBHs, the whistleblowing system was not the main mechanism for preventing fraud. However, a whistleblowing system was still needed as public/stakeholder control to create good university governance.

Sensory marketing in the digital economy
Authors: Kalkova Natalya Nikolaevna , Buzni Artemiy Nikolaevich
Published: October 2024

In the context of the increasing complexity of marketing relations associated with the transformation of understanding the role of the consumer, the issues of a deeper study of consumer behavior and its features in the “black box” model are of particular importance, since understanding consumer motives and reactions to marketing incentives will contribute not only to sustainable production and sale of goods, increasing the effectiveness of marketing solutions and maximizing profits in the long run, but also to the fast search and selection of goods by consumers that really meet their needs. The development of sensory marketing, taking into account the emergence of new neuromarketing technologies, meets the challenges of modern society. Previous studies of the influence of sensory stimuli on consumer behavior, as a rule, focused on the use of traditional marketing tools (observation, survey, focus groups, etc.), as a result of which only one-sided results of visible consumer reactions were obtained, which do not always reflect their true intentions to purchase a product. Marketing concepts in the context of changing market relations during the transition to a post-industrial society are examined; identifies the place of sensory marketing in the digital economy and its importance in the transformation of society into a humane community, shows the relationship between sensory marketing and neuromarketing, the use of technological tools which will allow to obtain hidden neurophysiological reactions of consumers to marketing incentives, which will provide a comprehensive an approach to evaluating incentive triggers in the purchase decision-making process. The role of neuroethics in conducting these studies is indicat.
Theoretical foundations of building management systems for modern enterprises
Authors: Smirnova Oksana Olegovna , Karlina Elena Prokofievna
Published: October 2024

Timely research and analysis of enterprise management systems, their competent decomposition into component parts in order to implement corrective actions to improve the final efficiency of the management process as a whole, are relevant areas of theoretical and practical scientific research. As a result of the study of existing approaches to the concept of a management system, its substantive characteristics as an anthropogenic system and directions for study, analysis and improvement at specific enterprises have been clarified. The importance of such properties of the management system in modern conditions is substantiated as: integrity, manifested in the presence of its own pattern of development and influence on the characteristics of the controlling and controlled subsystems; synergy, providing qualitatively new properties, and dynamic equilibrium, compensating for the effects of the internal and external environment on the functioning of the enterprise. As the main directions of the decomposition of the management system, the following are highlighted: functional areas of management – production subsystem, financial subsystem, personnel subsystem, etc.; management functions – planning, organization, motivation, control, etc.; object and subject of management; dynamic and static subsystems, where the static subsystem (structure, resources, controls) sets the framework for management activities, and the dynamic subsystem (management process carried out using management functions) transfers the system from one stable state to another to compensate for the effects exerted by the external and internal environment.
Human community technosphere ecology
Authors: Agafonov Igor Anatolievich , Vasilchikov Alexey Valer'evich , Chechina Oksana Sergeevna
Published: October 2024

In the 19th century, the sphere of interest of the science of “ecology” was formulated. Over the course of a century and a half, the semantics of its tasks has undergone significant changes. However, the original definition of ecology given by E.G. Haeckel, as a science about the interaction of living and inanimate nature, has again become relevant with the technological development of mankind. This development led to the emergence of an alternative habitat - the technosphere. The technosphere, within the framework of environmental ideas, is considered as a formation deeply hostile to nature in its essence. Nature is considered as a certain ideal that creates favorable conditions for the existence of living organisms in it. The experience of natural disasters and cataclysms, accompanied by the mass death of living organisms, indicates that this is an idealized idea. The existence of modern man outside the technosphere is practically impossible. The techno-sphere takes on the task of providing humanity with protection from pathogens. An example of such control is the use of DDT against vectors of malaria and other diseases. The technosphere solves problems in relation to humanity that are similar to providing the body with food, solving the problems of energy supply and movement over various distances – both people and cargo. The technosphere is evolving, using the achievements of developing sciences and technologies, reducing the specific impact on the natural environment while meeting the needs of the individual. For the further development of human ecology at the intersection of natural and artificial, the solution of traditional management problems is required: strict control of raw materials, technologies and products used, and their rational distribution. This is important since the human population is steadily growing and a significant part of the planet’s population finds itself in conditions of food and energy shortages, while the other part has an abundance of resources.

Authors: Osadchaya Svetlana Mihaylovna
Published: October 2024

The issues of using the concept of sustainable development in the management practice of modern enterprises and organizations focused on development and permanent strategic growth are updated. The indicators of sustainable development of an economic entity in the trinity of economic, social and environmental indicators are presented. It is determined that the concept of socio-ethical marketing implemented by the organization as a tool of a socially responsible organization maximally contributes to achieving the goals of a progressive modern concept. The analysis of the tools of social and ethical marketing of the EFKO Group of Companies (EFKO Group) of the Belgorod region, one of the largest food companies in the Russian Federation, a leader in the fat and oil industry market, guided in its activities by the principles inherent in the concept of sustainable development. The dynamics of the main indicators of the Group's economic activity against the background of permanent investments in the implementation of social and ethical activities is presented. The correlation of the value of social investments (expenses for social and ethical marketing) and the value of sales (revenue) of EFKO Group indicates a close relationship between the analyzed indicators. The profit forecast using the exponential smoothing method against the background of growing social investments and social and ethical activity of EFKO Group proves the expediency (including economic) of implementing social and ethical marketing and defines this toolkit as contributing to the growth of the organization's competitiveness not only through active marketing activities, but also through the formation and maintaining a positive image and business reputation of the company; strengthening the image of a socially oriented employer, which is confirmed by the results of independent comparative studies and assessment of the investment and credit attractiveness of companies in the market.
Modeling of stationary equilibriumstates of the soil and theircatastrophic changes under the influence of anthropogenic impacts
Authors: Guts A.K.
Published: October 2024

Several soil fertility models based on mathematical catastrophes theory are proposed. Models make it possible to calculate changes in soil parameters under the influenceof anthropogenic impact on it. Each model corresponds to one or another typical sprout ofcatastrophes and takes into account the required number of parameters characterizing soilproperties. This makes it possible to take into account the diversity of regional zones andclimatic conditions. Typicality of germs and their universal deformations gives us the opportunity to speak about the sufficient adequacy of the proposed models, since atypical germsrefer from the point of view of mathematics to exceptional phenomena that are rarely foundin nature.

The Problem of Volunteer Self-Identification as a Feature of the Development of the Volunteer Movement in Russia
Authors:   Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, Nedelko Pavel S.
Published: October 2024

This article presents the results of a study dedicated to the self-identification of volunteers. The author exam-ines the issue of participants in the volunteer movement refusing to perceive and represent themselves as vol-unteers. Based on an expert survey of leaders from various volunteer organizations – social, environmental, patriotic, and tourism-oriented – the author identifies several reasons for this phenomenon. The reluctance to identify as volunteers may be linked to internal value systems (mentality, religiosity, upbringing), contradictions of true and declared volunteering, a desire to avoid time-consuming reporting, and potential reputational risks. Additionally, the indistinct separation of volunteering from other socially significant activities – such as charity, good neighborliness, and civic activism – is highlighted as a contributing factor. The author also considers the ambiguity in the use of the terms “volunteer” and “voluntarist” as a probable cause.
Comprehensive Assessment of the Living Standard in the Regions of Russia Using the Dominant Component Method
Authors:   The Institute of Agrarian Problems – a Separate Structural Subdivision  of the Saratov Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Shabanov Viktor L.
Published: October 2024

A comprehensive assessment of the living standard was conducted based on nine indicators of income and their subjective perception, inequality, expenditure structure, social and economic status, presented by their values in 82 regions that are Russian Federation subjects. For their aggregation, the principal component method was used, which led to the extraction of two generalized factors that retain 61 % of the total variance of the original indicators and are interpreted as objective and subjective characteristics of the living standard. It was found out that the growth of the economy and income in the regions of the Russian Federation is accom-panied by an increase in economic inequality; a decrease in the food share in household expenditures and in-kind receipts in food consumption reflects the situation of an increase in the living standard; the subjective per-ception of the living standard is non-linearly related to its objective indicators. Based on the distribution analysis of the subjects of the Russian Federation in the space of two principal components, groups of regions-leaders and outsiders in objective and subjective indicators of the living standard were identified. It is shown that geo-graphic location is not a significant factor in the living standard.
Influence of mechanical pre-consolidation of soil on the assessment of stress level in geotechnical practice
Authors: Bukowski Mirosław , Kuszyk Rafał , Maslakowski Maciej
Published: October 2024

Geotechnical design includes construction works in the course of which the soil is subjected to vertical repetitive stress in the process of compacting, for example in the case of embankments or landfills. When the stress exceeds the pre-consolidation threshold there emerges accumulation of permanent deformation, usually horizontal, which causes additional lateral stress. A rule verified by long-term practical use was presented for to determine the horizontal stress resulting from mechanical pre-consolidation. Independent mathematical analysis has confirmed that the boundary ranges of the cyclic lateral stress factor correspond to the active or reactive states of strain. In geotechnical practice it is the reactive states, in which additional accumulation of lateral strain occurs in soil, that are important.

Published: October 2024

Data synergy involves acquiring and combining data from different sensors to achieve better problem analysis and research results. For more comprehensive data analysis, the sensors are not only mounted on one platform. Still, they should also be compatible with software and hardware, e.g. for the same timestamp registration by different sensors. The aim of this article is to propose the synergy between various remote sensing sensors including the ground penetrating radar (GPR), LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) sensor and three photogrammetric RGB cameras for damage detection in a pavement in a park alley. The data were acquired with a low-cost platform, in the Pole Mokotowskie Park in Warsaw, Poland. Three drives were made along the same path with the platform, so it was possible to assess the repeatability of the data. Based on the GPR data, orthophotomap, and digital terrain model (DTM) from images, an analysis of the cracks in the pavement was done. The paper proves additive value from the synergy of data collected for the alley also in the form of a common visualization of acquired data. Results presented in the article showed that using mobile mapping platform and technologies describing the situation above and below the ground level enable a more detailed analysis and inspection of the damages in the park alley.

Authors: Díez Sastre Silvia
Published: October 2024

Los estudios recientes en el ámbito de la neurociencia están cambiando la forma habitual de acercarse a la enseñanza y el aprendizaje, también en el ámbito universitario. En este nuevo contexto, es necesario reflexionar sobre el aprendizaje del Derecho determinando cuáles son las condiciones que mejoran este proceso. El presente trabajo analiza cómo el aprendizaje del Derecho debe orientarse hacia el estudiante y propone una elaboración del Derecho desde una perspectiva metodológica fundamentalmente tópica, distinta de la (sistemática) empleada para su elaboración científica (o académica).

Published: October 2024

This research aims to explain the philosophical study and key characteristics of philosophy in the novel Pangantén by Deden Abdul Aziz. A descriptive qualitative approach was used to analyze data from novel excerpts that reflect philosophical inquiry. Data were collected through the process of reading, noting, and marking relevant quotes. The results of the research show 63 pieces of philosophical data and 5 key characteristics of philosophy. Among them, 13 data points depict radical thinking, focusing on fundamental questions about human life and existence. A total of 20 data points relate to the search for basic principles or foundations, reflecting a contemplation of values that guide human behavior. Additionally, 8 data points reflect the pursuit of truth, another 8 depict efforts to achieve conceptual clarity, and 14 data points describe rational thinking, emphasizing logic and reasoning in decision-making. These results indicate that the novel Pangantén not only presents a narrative but also conveys deep philosophical reflections. These elements position the novel as a medium for illustrating philosophical ideas about existence, principles, truth, clarity, and rationality in everyday life.
MAKNA TANDA KOMUNIKASI INTERPERSONAL AYAH DAN ANAK PADA FILM NANNY MCPHEE: SEMIOTIKA ROLAND BARTHES
Authors: Anggraini Raissa Syifa , Kartikawangi Dorien
Published: October 2024

Recognizing film as a potent medium of expression, the research underscores the profound impact of visual and auditory storytelling in conveying intricate messages through language used. Through the lens of Roland Barthes semiotic theory, this research endeavors to unravel the complexities embedded within familial communication, especially using informal language. Drawing upon theories of mass communication, media studies, and interpersonal dynamics, the qualitative methodology employed in this study entails a meticulous examination of 20 pivotal scenes encapsulating father-child interactions. Viewing Nanny McPhee through a semiotic lens unveils layers of meaning, encompassing denotation, connotation, and myth. Over a span from August 28, 2023, to November 10, 2023, the researcher meticulously observed and analyzed the nuances of familial communication depicted in the film. By capturing and dissecting scenes through Barthes theoretical framework, the study unveils prevalent themes such as misunderstandings, self-centeredness, and the repercussions of ineffective communication within family dynamics. Drawing from the research findings, it can be concluded that within the narrative of Nanny McPhee, a plethora of communication pitfalls emerge, including (1) instances of misunderstanding, (2) a pronounced focus on self-interest, (3) a reluctance to entertain external perspectives, (4) unilateral decision-making devoid of discourse, and (5) an overall deficiency in familial communication. Furthermore, the absence of paternal guidance and attention looms large, wielding considerable influence over the behavioral and developmental trajectories of the children depicted in the film.
الحرب الروسية الأوكرانية وتداعياتها على الأمن الغذائي العالمي

كشفت الحرب الروسية – الاوكرانية عن  العلاقة الهشة بين الأمن الغذائي ونظام الغذاء العالمي،  وعرضته للخطر،  للأهمية التي تحتلها أوكرانيا بالنسبة للعالم لكونها المورد الرئيس  للأغذية ، وذلك لان قطاع الزراعة والانشطة المتعلقة بها تساهم بشكل كبير في اقتصاد  العالم ، وتشكل كل من روسيا واوكرانيا معا 25% من صادرات العالم من الحبوب ، وان الحرب بين البلدين افقدت اوكرانيا السيطرة في التصدير الغذاء مما تسبب بإضرار جسيمة في تجارة وانتاج الغذاء في العالم، فضلا عن قيام البلدان في المبالغة في زيادة حجم مخزونها من المنتجات الغذائية تحسبا للتقلبات المحتملة في الانتاج والتصدير وارتفاع الاسعار و ان الازمة بين روسيا واوكرانيا لها تأثير سلبي على الامن الغذائي العالمي وذلك نتيجة النقص الذي يحصل في امدادت الغذاء، فأثرت الحرب بشكل سلبي على الامن الغذائي بسبب النقص في الامدادات الغذائية في اغلب دول العالم.
دور الولايات المتحدة الامريكية في الازمة الأوكرانية (مؤسسة الرئاسة انموذجا)
Authors: د. عمار طه لطيف الدليمي

تعتبر الولايات المتحدة الامريكية  من أبرز القوى المؤثرة التي فوجئت بالحرب  الاوكرانية        الروسية ، إلا أن الأداء الأمريكي المصاحب للحرب يؤشر بما لا يدع مجالاً للشك أن شيئاً ما أصاب ماكينة القرار الامريكي وجعلها تسير ببطء في بعض الأحيان وبتعثر في أحيان أخرى. إلا أن طبيعة منظومة القرار في مجلس الأمن القومي الامريكي المستندة على خطط وآليات تحليل وتقدير وبدائل، والمعتمدة على فريق كبير من الخبراء والمحللين وموارد معلومات هائلة تخفف من وطأة التباطؤ والتعثر حتى يكاد المتابع من الخارج لا يلمس شيئاً كبيراً يذكر إلا إذا فهم طبيعة عمل مجلس الأمن القومي الامريكي وصلاحياته وامكانيته التنفيذية. ومما تقدم يظهر من هذه العينة القليلة من التعثرات (التي ذكرناها في فقرة التقييم السابقة) أن الإدارة الامريكية لم تستطع إدارة أزمة أوكرانيا جيداً وذلك بسبب وجود نقاط ضعف  بشان  القرار الاستراتيجي الامريكي في أوروبا والعالم وأن كل ما تم عمله في مجلس الأمن القومي من محاكاة وطرح بدائل وفرضيات كانت اختبارات نظرية بشكل كبير وعندما اصطدمت بالواقع بدأت الأخطاء تظهر وتتراكم. هل يشكل الحرب على أوكرانيا بداية لمتغيرات كبيرة تخص التوازنات الكبرى على الساحة الدولية، وتغييرات في سياسات الدول العظمى، باتجاه تشكيل تحالفات وتقاربات جديدة؟

الرأي العام كظاهرة اجتماعية لها ابعاد مختلفة فهي تنبع من صلب الظرف والواقع والمكان، وكل تلك الاوجه ذات صلة بالمجتمع ولصيقة به وتلقي بتأثيراتها على المواطن الذي هو في الاساس يعتبر الجهة التي يتبلور الرأي العام عندها وينطلق منها، وكما هو معروف ان لكل مجتمع ومنها المجتمع العراقي خصوصيات ذات صلة بتركيبته الديموغرافية وتكوينات تقسيماته المجتمعية ومستوى ثقافته  والتي بحكم ارتباط المواطن بذلك التركيب والنسق المجتمعي  بنيويا ومعنويا، فأنه لابد بشكل او باخر ان يؤثر ذلك الارتباط  ومدى ضعفه وقوته في مخرجات وطبيعة الراي العام الذي يحمله المواطن العراقي ، فكان بطبيعة الحال ان ترسخ  عادات وقيم في المجتمع وما يقويها من مؤسسات دينية وعشائرية  فضلا عن التركيبة المجتمعية للمجتمع العراقي المعروف بتعقد تركيبته ذات التفرعات الاثنية والمذهبية والدينية والقومية والتي اثرت على نوع ومستوى الثقافة للمواطن العراقي والتي انعكست على توجهات المواطن واصبح لها الاثر في سلوكياته وبالتالي الراي العام الذي يحمله الفرد .
A szezonális depresszió hatása a részvénypiaci hozamokra
Authors: Kégl Virág , Petróczy Dóra Gréta
Published: October 2024

A tanulmányban a szezonális depresszió mértéke és a részvényindexek hozamai közötti statisztikai kapcsolatot elemezzük. Az elemzéshez két egyesült államokbeli és öt európai tőzsde részvényindexeinek napi hozamát vizsgáljuk OLS-regresszió segítségével. Az elemzés statisztikailag szignifikáns kapcsolatot mutat a szezonális depresszió és a hozamok változása között. A redukált forma korlátozott felhasználási lehetősége miatt azonban mindez csupán a szezonális depresszió és a hozamok közötti kapcsolatot igazolja, oksági kapcsolathoz további megfigyelések bevonására lenne szükség.
