Authors:   Argeș County Museum, Pitești; e-mail: dragos-mandescu@yahoo.com, MĂNDESCU DRAGOȘ
Published: February 2025

A find made at the end of 2020 excavation season in the Early Iron Age necropolis (Ferigile group) from Valea Stânii (Argeș County, Romania), in the immediate proximity of barrow 22 (second half of the 6th century BC), seems to reveal one of the earliest spurs, if not the earliest, from Europe. A comparative discussion on the earliest spurs from different Iron Age European cultures brings arguments in this regard. The paper focuses on the burials of mounted warriors in the Ferigile archaeological group (south of the Carpathians, the 7th‑5th centuries BC) and offers a preliminary look at this kind of spectacular graves in the necropolis from Valea Stânii. The horse gear elements in the Ferigile group attest to large‑scale supra‑regional contacts, in the interaction zone of the Thracian, Scythian and Illyrian cultural environments. The rich grave goods assemblage found in barrow 22 and its related chronology are discussed in detail, alongside the results of radiocarbon dating.

Published: February 2025

The conflict of Somalia has grassroot factors and complexities since last three decades in the absence of strong central government controlled the entire country, the complexity including Instability, and competition for resources. The war erupted in the late 1980s after the ousting of the Siad Barre regime, resulting in a power vacuum and the emergence of warlords. The situation deteriorated in the 1990s with the rise of Islamist groups, particularly Al-Shabaab, which continues to fight against the Somali interim government and international forces. for the case of west African countries, ten countries with the lowest (World Population Review, 2024) Human Development Index scores. Countries such as these are faced with widespread poverty, poor education, lack of adequate health care and, perhaps most importantly, stable governments. International Monetary Fund reports show that these countries also have some of the lowest annual rates of GDP perc capita in the world. This policy brief detailed the grassroot of Somalia conflict and in generally African democracy and governance for the cases of west Africa. The Paper has structurally two section which are the first section presents the conflict of Somalia, the grassroot and the possible options of resolving. In the next the paper discussed African democracy reversal and governance management in practical case. The paper has recommendation and feedback on research-based evidence. In the context of Somalia peace and conflict there were several efforts for peace and stability have been ongoing, involving various local and global stakeholders, but the country still faces significant challenges, including persistent violence, humanitarian crises, and political fragmentation. The African democratic journey has not been without its share of obstacles, despite these achievements. Sometimes progress has been impeded by instances of electoral irregularities, political instability, and corruption. Long-term authoritarian government has hindered the growth of democratic institutions in some countries. This sit-tight-in-power syndrome has been the bane of democratic leadership and electoral process in Africa (Aremu, 2024).

Published: February 2025

This study examined the effects of elevated temperatures higher than ambient temperature on the physical, mechanical, and CO2 (carbon dioxide) capturing performance of Carbide Lime Waste (CLW) mortars with 20% cement replacement at early curing ages (1, 3 and 7 days). The CLW mortars cured under accelerated CO2 curing (CLW20acc) were compared with the control samples under ambient curing (CLW20). The temperatures were set at 30°C, 40°C and 60°C with fixed 20% CO2 concentration. Key assessments include density, compressive and flexural strengths, carbonation depth, and microstructural analyses using Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Results revealed that mortar densities decreased with increased temperature, but higher curing temperatures significantly enhanced the performance of CLW20acc mortars over control samples. At 60°C, carbonation depth reached 8.50%, 36.18%, and 86.25% after 1, 3, and 7 days, respectively, while compressive strength increased by 51.5% at day 7 compared to day 1. TGA results demonstrated progressive CaCO3 (calcium carbonate) precipitation from 26.6% on day 1 to 58.5% on day 7, indicating calcium silicate and portlandite conversion into carbonates. XRD study showed calcite as the main phase and vaterite to aragonite as curing temperature and age arose. Ambient curing reduced mechanical strength and carbonation performance in all control samples. These findings demonstrate that elevated temperatures expedite carbonation and enhance the mechanical properties of CLW mortars, validating the potential of accelerated CO2 curing as a sustainable strategy for optimising lime-based materials. This approach offers a dual benefit: reducing CO2 emissions while leveraging elevated CO2 levels to improve construction material performance.

Spatial modelling of midair collision risk using ADS-B data
Authors: Vincent-Boulay Nicolas , Marsden Catharine
Published: February 2025

The airspace environment is a system that is expected to continue increasing in complexity with the projected growth of air traffic volumes and the introduction of new types of air vehicles and operations such as uncrewed aircraft. This increase in complexity brings a need for investigating and developing new models of airspace environments as a means of better understanding and managing their constituent parts. This paper presents a methodology for creating a geospatial model of complex airspace environments which can be used to study any geospatially distributed entity that is part of these systems. The methodology leverages Discrete Global Grid Systems (DGGS), a Geographic Information Systems framework often utilized in the fields of geography and urban planning. The usefulness of the model is demonstrated using two case studies investigating the risk factors associated with weather and mid-air collisions in an airspace region of interest. Since such a model needs to be able to work for any type of air vehicle and airspace region in a fully three-dimensional model capable of performing time-varying analysis in a computationally efficient manner, a rudimentary geospatial airspace risk model was also developed which satisfies these requirements. Weather radar data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and air traffic data from the OpenSky Network were collected and integrated in the geospatial model and the geospatial airspace risk model was used to calculate the risk of collisions for geospatially distributed points in the airspace for four scenarios of increasing airspace complexity. The results from these four scenarios demonstrate that the proposed methodology can be used to study the risk associated with spatially distributed risk factors for different points in the airspace for any type of air vehicle and airspace region of interest in a fully three-dimensional model that can perform time-varying analysis in a computationally efficient manner.
Analysis of the Corporate Financial Performance Based on Grey PSI and Grey MARCOS Model in Turkish Insurance Sector
Authors: AKBULUT Osman Yavuz
Published: February 2025

The use of MCDM approaches in the insurance sector provides important information to the top management or decision maker’s authorities of insurance companies on issues such as accurate performance measurement, identification of strengths and weaknesses, optimisation of operations and improvement of strategic decisions. This, in turn, helps senior management to balance profitability and risk and contributes to the establishment of a sustainable business model. The present study aims to measure and rank corporate financial performance in the non-life insurance sector by using the Grey PSI and Grey MARCOS integrated model. For the purpose of this study, the proposed decision-making approach is applied through a case study. The case study focuses on the corporate financial performance assessment process of nine companies operating in the Turkish non-life insurance sector and consistently ranked in the top ten in terms of premium production in the period 2021-2023.In the current study, twelve financial performance indicators were identified for corporate financial performance analysis, taking into account previous studies in the literature. The importance weights of these performance criteria are calculated using the Grey PSI procedure. The Grey MARCOS method was then employed to determine the ranking of the decision alternatives. The results obtained from the Grey PSI method indicate that the net profit-to-total equity, net premiums received-to-gross premiums received and total operating expenses-to-gross premiums received are the three most significant criteria affecting the corporate financial performance of the relevant non-life insurance companies. The application of the grey MARCOS ranking method shows that Türkiye Sigorta has superior corporate financial performance for the period 2021-2023 compared to other insurance companies analysed in the study. The assessment and evaluation of corporate financial performance in the insurance sector is of critical importance for sector managers, policyholders, regulatory authorities, policymakers and other stakeholders, due to the significant benefits insurance companies provide at both micro and macroeconomic levels.

Published: February 2025

The development of digital technology has changed the landscape of political education and election socialization, especially for Generation Z. This generation has a tendency to consume political information through social media, which offers quick access, interactive, and easier to understand than traditional media. However, this phenomenon also brings challenges, such as the spread of political hoaxes, information bias, and polarization of public opinion. This study aims to analyze the role of social media in political education and election socialization for Generation Z, by highlighting its benefits, challenges, and effectiveness in increasing political awareness and participation. The method used in this study is library research, by collecting and analyzing various scientific articles, academic journals, and reports from official institutions related to the role of social media in politics. The data analyzed comes from national and international sources published in the last five years (2019-2024). The analysis technique used is content analysis, with a thematic approach to identify the main patterns in digital political education. The results of the study show that social media plays an important role in increasing the political awareness of Generation Z through accessible, interactive, and visual-based content such as infographics and short videos. However, challenges such as disinformation and algorithmic bias are still obstacles to their effective utilization. Therefore, a more structured strategy is needed to increase digital political literacy for Generation Z, including stricter regulations against the spread of hoaxes and an increase in social media-based political education campaigns.
China's Economic Transformation Strategy: A Model for Papua New Guinea Development
Authors: Betty Wakia
Published: February 2025

Before 1978, China was indisputably among the most destitute countries globally and was on the brink of total macroeconomic failure. Therefore, in 1978, the nation implemented a market-oriented economic reform and has since emerged as the world's fastest-expanding economy. When adjusted for buying power parity, China's GDP has surpassed that of any other country in the world. and it ranks second in nominal GDP, behind only the US. In spite of its vast natural resource endowment, achieving development in PNG has proven to be elusive. Although PNG specializes in crude oil production in the Pacific region and ranks 42nd globally, it is now one of the world's poorest nations. This report analysed China's economic reform effort and its potential applicability as a model for growth in PNG. Among other things, the nation's present economic woes have turned it into a crippled giant, and this research suggested that corruption and leadership failure are to blame. This study used the documentary approach, and the data produced were subjected to qualitative analysis. The analytical discussion revealed that robust economic plans or policies, along with exceptional or visionary leadership, laid the foundation for China's economic feats. Thus, the study proposes that the present underdeveloped state of PNG's economy may be improved by putting in place efficient government, excellent leadership, more funding for education and the development of human capital, and the organization of subsistence farming into cooperative societies. Therefore, the elimination of poverty, which is linked to inadequate governance, would be eradicated, and the typical mindset of the political elite in PNG of transforming the nation into a means of accumulating money would be abandoned

Corn is the second staple food after rice in Indonesia. The productivity of dry corn kernels with a water content of 14 percent in West Papua was 6,481 tons in 2022 and decreased to 4,623 tons in 2023. Estimating genetic parameters is essential before improving any trait. Genetic parameters in plants typically include the genetic diversity coefficient, heritability, and correlation between plant traits. Observation data were statistically analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The ANOVA results were used to obtain values for the Variance Partition, Genetic Coefficient of Variation (GCV), Phenotype Coefficient of Variation (PCV), and Heritability. The correlation between traits was analyzed using the Costat program version 6.311. The observations revealed that the PCV was higher than the GCV in corn plants, indicating that environmental factors more dominantly influence visual character diversity (phenotype). Some narrow sense heritability values were negative for several traits of the Unipa glutinous red corn plants. The weight of corn cob showed a very high correlation without the husk and with the husk (r=0.93), while a very low correlation was observed between the width of the leaves at 7 WAP and the diameter of the stem at 1 WAP (r=-0.38)

Published: February 2025

This present research proposes that the use of Marxist theory could potentially act as a catalyst in assisting PNG's economic revitalization. The objective of this study is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the core tenets of Marxist economic theory, including the concept of surplus value, with an examination of the historical roots and current condition of capitalism in PNG. This paper aims to thoroughly analyse the economic challenges faced by PNG, a consequence of previous colonial powers' imposition of a capitalist economic system. The ensuing argument asserts that the elimination of capitalism is crucial, and the best strategic approach would include a socialist revolution that would progressively transition into communism. Even though some parts of Marxist ideology can be utopian, especially when it comes to PNG, we argue that the achievement of communalism before colonialism can help socialism and communism come to life in the long run

Published: February 2025

This article aims to analyze the methodology of royalty distribution in divorce cases and assess Decision Number 16/Pdt.G/2024/PTA.JK, regarded as the first legal precedent in Indonesia for dividing royalties as joint marital property upon court-declared dissolution of marriage. The analysis is based on John Rawls's and MH Kamali's theories of justice. Using normative research methods, the article examines statutory provisions regulating the rights and obligations of divorcing couples and evaluates the court decision in question. The findings indicate that royalties qualify as joint marital property since they are intangible assets derived from rights. The division of joint property is carried out equally, in accordance with Articles 96 and 97 of the Islamic Law Compilation. This decision reflects justice for the parties involved, as both contributed to the song creation process.

This study aims to apply the K-Means Clustering algorithm to analyze sales data and categorize products based on their sales performance, namely best-selling, moderately-selling, and least-selling products. The data used in this research comes from a Padang restaurant in Deltamas in 2022 to 2023. The research process began with data collection, followed by data cleaning and normalization using the Min-Max method, and then the application of the K-Means algorithm for clustering. The results show that the K-Means algorithm successfully grouped the products into three categories: Cluster 0 (best-selling products), Cluster 1 (moderately-selling products), and Cluster 2 (least-selling products). Thus, this study demonstrates that the K-Means algorithm can be used to cluster sales data and assist business owners in managing product inventory and making more informed decisions.
