Published: December 2022

This study examined the challenges associated with cultural globalization on the Yoruba family value system in Ado-Odo Ota LGA., Ogun state. The research design for this study is cross-sectional. A structured questionnaire was utilized to elicit quantitative data from 230 respondents. The data from the questionnaire were analysed statistically and presented in a descriptive manner, while the formulated hypotheses were tested using Chi square test. The findings showed that there is a significant relationship between Yoruba indigenous family values and the modern Yoruba family values (X2=15.261, df=4, p < .05). This result negates the formulated null hypothesis 1 and it was rejected. In the same vein, a significant relationship also exist between the benefits of harmonising the Yoruba cultural family values with western culture and its consequences on the youth in Ado-Odo Ota LGA., Ogun State [r(228)= 0.441, p < .05]. This findings negated the formulated null hypothesis 2 and it was rejected. The study recommended that the teaching of the Yoruba indigenous family values and cultures should be encouraged across all educational systems in the Southwest Nigeria to maintain its existence. Similarly, parents should teach their kids to imbibe the right morals and social values that will uphold the indigenous family values in them. Finally, the output of the media outfits, and what is obtainable on the internet should be censored, monitored, and controlled by the governments while the parents should play prominent roles to do the same.
The role of private and institutional support to favor work-family integration in pre-service and in-service teachers: Self-related vs. context-related arguments
Authors: Arcidiacono Francesco , Bova Antonioa , Ben-Uri Ina , Melfi Giuseppe
Published: December 2022

Research related to the integration of the demands of work and family highlights the difficulties teachers experience in handling their careers and private lives. The goal of this study is to examine the arguments they use to explain what might make work-family integration easier for them. A questionnaire has been administered to 728 teachers in Israel and Switzerland, two countries dealing with teachers’ work-family relations. Through a qualitative analysis of the types of arguments advanced by teachers, the reconstruction of their reasoning (for the topical and endoxical components) has been performed. Results reveal that the support of family and institution are advanced as critical aspects in both countries. Implications in shaping teachers’ attitudes towards work-family integration are discussed.
La littérature médiévale en FLE : un corpus à réévaluer
Authors: Burg Gaëlle
Published: December 2022

Le corpus littéraire traditionnellement utilisé dans l’enseignement secondaire et supérieur en FLE emprunte le plus souvent à la littérature des 19e, 20e et 21e siècles, plus rarement aux œuvres du 16e, 17e et 18e siècle et presque jamais aux textes du Moyen Âge. Plusieurs facteurs peuvent l’expliquer : l’inaccessibilité apparente de ces textes, la barrière représentée par la langue ancienne, une méconnaissance des enseignant·e·s à l’égard de cette littérature, son absence dans les manuels ou encore un point aveugle de la recherche en didactique des langues étrangères. Cet article propose une analyse du corpus littéraire enseigné en FLE (secondaire et supérieur en France, Allemagne et Suisse) et propose des pistes pour l’élaboration d’une didactique du texte ancien en classe de FLE.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF PRIVILEGED COMMUNICATION RULES UNDER THE MALAYSIAN EVIDENCE ACT 1950
Authors: Yunus Mohamad Ismail Bin Mohamad
Published: December 2022

In civil disputes, parties often seek to resolve their issues outside of court using alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods, such as negotiation. If negotiations fail, the matter may be brought to court. Under section 23 of the Malaysian Evidence Act 1950, statements made during negotiations that are marked "without prejudice" are generally considered privileged and inadmissible in court. This raises questions about whether the current legal framework adequately addresses the applicability of the "without prejudice" privilege. Is this rule absolute, or are there exceptions that limit its scope? This paper aims to explore these issues, evaluating whether legal reforms and new mechanisms are needed to adapt the "without prejudice" privilege to contemporary legal challenges.
THE IMPACT OF THE TRIPS AGREEMENT ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAWS IN INDONESIA
Authors: Sulistianingsih Dewi , Ilyasa Raden Muhammad Arvy
Published: December 2022

This research analyzes the impact of the TRIPs Agreement on the development of intellectual property law in Indonesia. In the context of globalization, intellectual property rights are increasingly intertwined with international trade. The rapid advancement of technology, information, and communication has spurred innovations, making the protection of intellectual property a critical issue. This research examines the influence of the TRIPs Agreement on Indonesia's intellectual property law and the adjustments Indonesia has made to align its legal framework with the WTO/TRIPs Agreement in response to evolving political dynamics. Employing doctrinal legal research based on secondary data, this research draws on literature focused on intellectual property rights. The TRIPs Agreement, established during the Uruguay Round of GATT negotiations, has significantly impacted intellectual property protection in Indonesia. Indonesia’s commitment to the Uruguay Round necessitated the adaptation of its intellectual property laws to comply with TRIPs provisions, thereby integrating these standards into the Indonesian legal system. Consequently, Indonesia is obligated to harmonize and enhance existing legal instruments and enforce stringent measures for intellectual property protection.
EXECUTION OF FIDUCIARY GUARANTEE IN MOTOR VEHICLE FINANCING AGREEMENT
Authors: Akifah Kifah
Published: December 2022

Fiduciary guarantees are designed to facilitate public access to credit. However, various issues arise in their implementation, particularly concerning the execution of fiduciary guarantees and instances of arbitrary actions during the billing process. The problem of fiduciary guarantee execution has garnered public attention following the Constitutional Court Decision No. 2/PUU-XIX/2021, issued on August 31, 2021. This decision is perceived to potentially simplify the process for financing companies in executing fiduciary guarantees. This research aims to (1) analyze the execution of fiduciary guarantees in motor vehicle financing agreements following the Constitutional Court Decision No. 2/PUU-XIX/2021, and (2) examine the legal enforcement concerning violations committed by debt collectors. The study employs a normative legal research method, utilizing a legal approach to address these issues.
Argument and narrative in the evidence context : critical dialectical study on the Hybrid Formal Theory of Arguments and Stories and the antecedent theories that deal with evidence in criminal proceedings
Authors: Sanches Sólon Rudá Antonio
Published: December 2022

In this work I seek to investigate the use of arguments and narratives within the scope of theories that deal with the question of evidences, specifically in the Story Model, the Anchored Narratives Theory and the Hybrid Formal Theory of Arguments and Stories. I question whether the normative-instrumentalized verification process of evidence, formulated in hybrid theory, meets the need to treat the evidence in order to identify the nature of the imputation of the crime committed by the agent. I argue that the hybrid theory does not address the question of proof as to the nature of the imputation of the agent's criminal liability, which is it does not seek to identify whether the criminal fact was perpetrated by way of intention or recklessness. I conclude adducing that the hybrid theory does not meet the need to treat the evidence to identify the nature of the imputation of the crime committed by the agent.

Los robots están aquí “y hay más en camino” (Barrio, 2018, p. 17). Las compuertas de los hangares de Google se han abierto y los prototipos de vehículos autónomos avanzan por las vías. Los drones sobrevuelan el espacio aéreo para entregar mercancías. Los chatbots suplen a los presentadores en los informativos. Muchos otros controlan ya, de forma remota, hogares conectados en lo que se proyecta como smart cities. La llegada de estos sistemas de Inteligencia Artificial (en adelante, AI) se perfila en clave disruptiva, lo que anticipa ingentes retos para el derecho, en general, y para un concreto sector normativo -la propiedad intelectual-, en particular.En este sentido, el catálogo de derechos protegibles y las distintas vías tuitivas que ofrece la legislación sobre propiedad intelectual es amplio y flexible. Por ejemplo, el derecho de paternidad y su protección a través de los derechos de autor. También puede plantearse la protección en sede de derechos de autor por vía de derechos conexos o, por qué no, a través de patentes.Pero la naturaleza huidiza de atributos de personalidad de los entes dotados de inteligencia, como robots o chatbots, no encuentra fácilmente acomodo en la normativa actual, pues están ayunos de algunas cualidades, que son requisitos imprescindibles en los diversos ordenamientos jurídicos para otorgarles derechos inherentes a la propiedad intelectual. Es el caso, por ejemplo, de la prerrogativa de la originalidad -una presunción iuris tantum atribuible al autor- que puede desvanecerse en la autonomía de un robot.

Ethnocultural Aspects of Improving the Tourist Support of Medical Tourism
Authors: Bakhtin Viktor Aleksandrovich
Published: December 2022

The subject of the study is the main and background institutional factors of medical tourism. It is proved that the background factors are, among other things, a complex of ethno-cultural components, the inclusion of which in the practice of the phenomenon can significantly increase the attractiveness of the host territory. Special attention is paid to such a factor as the ethno-cultural preparation of a medical tourist to stay in a different environment in terms of social interaction. The importance of the proposed approach in all types and forms of medical tourism is emphasized: health/medical, inbound, outbound, domestic (taking into account the polyethnicity of our country). The conducted sociological measurements (focus group discussions, mass survey) showed that such work with patients is not carried out. Health and wellness practices include the interaction of two social groups – the patient and the medical staff. In the case of medical tourism, the second of the groups is differentiated into two subgroups – medical personnel and specialists of the tourism industry. It is established that there is no unified scheme for ensuring the process at the level of collegial interaction of these two subgroups at all. The novelty of the research consists in actualizing this contradiction and substantiating the expediency of ethno-cultural preparation of a medical tourist to stay in a different environment in terms of social interaction in the context of multiculturalism. The author of the article comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to create an expert formation at the regional level, which could ensure the complexity of the interaction of both subgroups on the basis of public-private partnership and achieve a more capacious inclusion of the ethnocultural potential of the territory in the medical product. This poses the task of additional training of tourist specialists specifically for medical tourism - to work with patients in the direction of familiarizing them with the ethnocultural features of the receiving locus and with variants of models of interaction between a doctor and a patient.

Authors: Prasetyo Mohammad Rafi , Sarofa Ulya , R Rosida
Published: December 2022

Enzymatic hydrolysis of chitooligosaccharides can be carried out using the chitosanase enzyme. Chitosanase enzyme is a glycosyl hydrolase enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of β- 1,4 glycosidic bonds of chitosan to produce low molecular weight chitooligosaccharides. The crab shell (Portunus pelagicus) has the potential to be used as chitooligosaccharides because the crab shell contains 20-30% chitin. This study aimed to determine the effect of chitosanase enzyme concentration and duration of hydrolysis on the characteristics of chitooligosaccharides (COS) from crab shells. This research was conducted using a factorial completely randomized design (CRD) method with two factors and two replications. The factor I was enzyme concentration (0.5%, 1%, and 1.5%), factor II was hydrolysis time (3 hours, 4 hours and 5 hours). The data were obtained using ANOVA if there was a significant difference, followed by Duncan's Test (DMRT). The best results were obtained in the A2B2 treatment, enzyme concentration (1.0%) and hydrolysis time (4 hours) with a chemical composition of 84.96% yield, 4.83 KDa molecular weight, 86.87% degree of deacetylation and FTIR test results indicated the availability of a functional groups, the OH group was obtained at a wavelength of 3624.25 cm-1 and the NH group is at a wavelength of 3404.36 cm-1.
Smart Room Lighting System for Energy Efficiency in Indoor Environment
Authors: Ramadhani Rafika Rizky , Yuliana Mike , Pratiarso Aries
Published: December 2022

The building sector absorbs 40% of global energy sources. Energy demand in the building sector is dominated by around 60 – 70% electricity, mainly used for air conditioning, water pumping machines, and lighting. On average, artificial lighting can consume 37% of the total electrical energy needs. Meanwhile, sunlight enters the room through the morning window from noon until the afternoon. Using unnecessary or excessive room lighting when there is a natural light source in the room consumes a relatively large total energy requirement of the building. There is a need for a smart lighting system specifically for indoors for efficient energy management and a lighting control system integrated with IoT, which utilizes the intensity of natural light in a room. In this paper, we proposed that the Smart Room Lighting System uses the fuzzy logic method based on ESP32 to control the lighting in the room to save electricity usage for a room lamp. The result of the tool's design, it can control the light starting from bright, dim, and lights go out. The results obtained by the Smart Room Lighting System can reduce power consumption by up to 93% and energy by up to 70%.

Authors:   International University of Japan, Mačikėnaitė Vida
Published: December 2022

The chapter of the book "China in the Baltic States – from a Cause of Hope to Anxiety" provides an overview of the relations between the People’s Republic of China and Lithuania since early 1990s, when bilateral diplomatic relations were formally established. It presents the evolution of the perception of China in Lithuania from that of an economic opportunity toward security concern, not only due to China’s activities in Lithuania but more importantly due to the implications of China’s rise to the international order more broadly. The chapter also reveals the role that Taiwan issue has played in the change of this perception and in the shift in Lithuania’s China policy recently.
Analysis of the Relationship Between Trade Openness and Inflation: Evidence from MIKTA Countries
Authors: CEYHAN Turgay , GÜLCAN Nazlıgül , GÜRSOY Samet
Published: December 2022

Foreign trade plays a key role in the development of a country's economy and international social relations. Accordingly, the increase and decrease in a country's trade openness directly and indirectly affects macroeconomic indicators. In short, it is important to know the expected relationship between trade openness and inflation for a country's economy. Investigating the relationship between trade openness and inflation is important in keeping inflation under control, along with foreign trade policy practices. On the other hand, the theoretical basis of the association between trade openness and inflation is known with the Romer (1993) Hypothesis. According to the Romer Hypothesis, it is argued that an increase in trade openness will negatively affect inflation. However, although there are findings supporting this theory for the studies done so far, there are empirical studies expressing the opposite. This study has investigated this relationship in MIKTA countries. Kónya (2006) panel causality test was used in the study using annual data between 1960 and 2020. In result of the paper, it is found that there is no causal linkage between trade openness and inflation in countries. These results do not coincide with the Romer (1993) Hypothesis.

Microalloying the Ti-Al system with the elements of the yttrium group (Y, Ho, Dy) up to 2 at.% leads to the formation of isotypic Y6Ti4Al43, Dy6Ti4Al43, Ho6Ti4Al43compounds (hexagonal, P63/mcm). The microhardness value is 2.15 GPa for the Ti-49at.%Al-2at.%Ta sample.

В работе представлены результаты исследования применения сольватотермического способа нанесения n-CuO на поверхность компонентов пиротехнических составов в качестве модификатора скорости горения. Разработан способ нанесения n-CuO на поверхность неорганических солей. Данный способ позволил расширить номенклатуру веществ (применяемых в пиротехнике) для поверхностной модификации. Проведены эксперименты по нанесению n-CuO на поверхность наиболее распространенных в пиротехнике неорганических окислителей, таких как нитрат и перхлорат калия. Поверхность модифицированных образцов была исследована методом SEM, результаты которого подтверждают образование наноразмерного оксида меди (II). Модифицирование поверхностей неорганических солей приводит к изменению их характеристик тепловой стабильности, исследование которых производились методами TGA/DSC. Произведенная модификация приводит к изменению скорости горения пиротехнических составов. Применяемый в работе способ модификации показал, как катализирующий, так и ингибирующий скорость горения эффект, который зависит от природы модифицируемого вещества.

The paper presents the results of a study of the application of the solvothermal method of applying n-CuO to the surface of the components of pyrotechnic compositions as a combustion rate modifier. A method has been developed for applying n-CuO to the surface of inorganic salts. This method made it possible to expand the range of substances (used in pyrotechnics) for surface modification. Experiments were carried out on the deposition of n-CuO on the surface of the most common inorganic oxidizers in pyrotechnics, such as potassium nitrate and perchlorate. The surface of the modified samples was studied by SEM, the results of which confirm the formation of nanosized copper oxide (II). Modification of the surfaces of inorganic salts leads to a change in their thermal stability characteristics, the study of which was carried out by TGA/DSC methods. The modification made leads to a change in the burning rate of pyrotechnic compositions. The modification method used in the work showed both a catalytic and an inhibiting burning rate effect, which depends on the nature of the modified substance.

В работе рассматривается влияние числа Рейнольдса на площадь вихревой зоны, возникающей при течении полимерного расплава на входе в щелевой канал. Для нахождения полей скорости, напряжений и давления плоского течения полимерного расплава в сходящемся канале используется модифицированная реологическая модель Виноградова-Покровского, основанная на микроструктурном подходе к описанию динамики полимерной жидкости. Сама реологическая модель получена при применении методов статистической механики к суспензии невзаимодействующих упругих гантелей, при этом коэффициент трения носит тензорный характер и определяется размерами и формой макромолекулярного клубка. Расчеты течения полимерного расплава проводились методом конечных элементов с разделением по физическим процессам. Результаты расчетов показали, что при переходе из резервуара в щелевой канал происходит увеличение скорости, вместе с тем зависимость скорости проходит через максимум, который наблюдается в непосредственной близости от входа в щелевой канал, при этом сравнения с экспериментами дает удовлетворительный результат. В численном эксперименте показано, что зависимость размеров вихря от числа Рейнольдса носит монотонный характер с уменьшением размера вихревой зоны.

he paper considers the effect of Reynolds number on the area of the vortex zone arising from the flow of polymer melt at the entrance of the slot channel. The modified Vinogradov-Pokrovsky rheological model, based on the microstructural approach to describing the dynamics of polymer fluid, is used to find the fields of velocity, stresses and pressure of the plane flow of polymer melt in a converging channel. The rheological model itself is obtained by applying the methods of statistical mechanics to a suspension of non-interacting elastic dumbbells, with the friction coefficient being tensorial in nature and determined by the size and shape of the macromolecular ball. Calculations have shown that there is an increase in velocity at the transition from the reservoir to the slot channel, at the same time, the velocity dependence passes through a maximum, which is observed in the vicinity of the slot channel entrance, while comparison with the experiments gives satisfactory results. The calculations of the polymer melt flow were performed by the finite element method with separation by physical processes. The numerical experiment shows that the dependence of vortex size on Reynolds number has a monotonic character with increasing size of the vortex zone.

Cellular membranes are surrounded by an aqueous buffer solution containing various ions, which influence the hydration layer of the lipid head groups. At the same time, water molecules hydrating the lipids play a major role in facilitating the organisation and dynamics of membrane lipids. Employing fluorescence microscopy imaging and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching measurements, we demonstrate that the cooperativity between water and sodium (Na+) ions is crucial to maintain lipid mobility upon the removal of the outer hydration layer of the lipid membrane. At similar hydration conditions, lipid diffusion ceases in absence of Na+ ions. We unravel that Na+ ions strengthen the water clathrate cage around the lipid phosphocholine head group and thus prevent its breaking upon removal of bulk water. Intriguingly, divalent cation Ca2+ does not show this effect. In this article we provide a detailed molecular-level picture of ion specific dependence of lipid mobility and membrane hydration properties.

A nanofluid is a kind of fluid that organized by means of dispraised of nanoparticles of metal, oxides or carbides with 100 nm size that depressed in water, ethylene glycol or oil. The enhancement of warmness transfer overall performance through expending nanofluid primarily relies upon on the type of nanoparticles, kind of base fluid, form of nanoparticles, size of nanoparticles and nanoparticles attention in the base fluid. In this paper, several newly massive numbers of studied have been being provided to discover the nanofluid enhancement the warmth switch charge in several heat exchangers kinds such as double-pipe warmth exchangers, plate heat exchangers, cross-flow warmth exchangers and shell and tube warmth exchangers. In existing review article, it presents quite a few experimental and numerical research studies that investigated the impact of using nanoparticles in the single and hybrid nanofluids to acquire greater overall performance of enhancement of warmness switch in the double pipe warmness exchangers conferring to relative route of movement of fluids (Parallel flow and Counter flow) and the nature of warmth trade process. The current study showed that there is a wide use of nanofluids in double pipe heat exchangers in all dimensions. Where the comparison showed that the use of nanofluids, whether inside the inner tube or in the annular tube of the heat exchanger, will effectively lead to heat transfer, reduce the size of the heat exchanger and reduce the cost of manufacturing and materials
