Authors: Dafallah Mohamed Alhasan Fatma , Sharma Nirmla , Ben Said Olfa , Aldhawi Ashwaq
Published: April 2024

Fast industrial development and expansion in several portions of the earth have controlled to a rush in waste production. Presently, over 50 percent of the world’s population has established into smart cities. Near 2030, an expected 60 percent of the population will move from rural to urban zones, on behalf of up to 1.5 billion populations. The town population is established to rise considerably by 2045 to 6 billion; by 2050, it is predictable that seven out of 10 populations will be living within town zones. Last 30 years, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has verified financial growth and expansion rates corresponding by consistent directs of intake. It has indicated to an exponential raise in the capacity of municipal solid waste. Constant if the mass segment of this waste is recyclable, the inclination of residential to retain in the recycling of waste has so far constructed a minor influence. The objective of paper, smart waste management is a new frontier for local authorities assisting in reducing municipal solid waste and improving community recycling rate. We must solve this problem by driving Drone Technology, manufacturing and their established approaches are redefined. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have released their capacity in the Smart Waste Management industry still again and have confirmed to be the most efficient, virtual tool. We have driven a drone program smart waste management to provide exact and real-time data of your smart waste’s progression and throughput. Drones are not only seeking your waste management, but also save the environment. The objective of zero waste is to decrease and finally destroy smart waste and smart waste management.

Social media allows users to share content worldwide. This also enables users to distribute illegal content. The laws of the EU Member States vary greatly when it comes to what content they consider to be illegal, especially regarding hate speech. Thus, it is important which national law applies in cross-border cases concerning online content. Ultimately, this question is closely linked to the broader reshuffling of power in the digital sphere: will it be actual ‘law’ that platforms enforce online or norms made by platforms themselves? So far, the law of 27 Member States plus the EU itself remains utterly chaotic compared to the more uniform Terms of Service (ToS) of the internet giants.

Financial inclusion and monetary policy targets: Evidence from the ECOWAS countries
Authors: Garbobiya Tuwe Soro , Oladipo Olajide , Iorember Paul Terhemba
Published: April 2024

The study examines the impact of financial inclusion on monetary policy targets in the Economic Community of West African States for the period between 2004 and 2020. To capture how a shock to financial inclusion affects monetary policy targets in the ECOWAS sub-region, the study employs panel vector autoregression via the Generalized Method of Moments framework and uses the impulse response functions. The results show that in all ECOWAS countries, financial inclusion leads to an appreciation of the local currency, thereby improving the value of the exchange rate. However, it reduces the effectiveness of monetary policy. In particular, financial inclusion increases consumer prices and interest rates. Based on the findings, the study recommends, among others, the need for a single monetary policy in the ECOWAS sub-region to properly integrate its monetary policy framework in line with the economic and monetary integration policy of the West African Monetary Zone.
Political rent-seeking in agriculture under the evolving priori-ties of the EU CAP
Authors:   Instytut Rozwoju Wsi i Rolnictwa Polskiej Akademii Nauk, Pawłowska Aleksandra
Published: April 2024

There has been a shift in the discussion of the determinants of agricultural development, from productivity to sustainability, taking into account the integrity of economic, social and environmental goals, as well as intergenerational equity. The change in the paradigm has been accompanied by the evolution of the EU CAP instruments, potentially influencing the scale of rent-seeking by agricultural producers through policy mechanisms. Thus the main objective is to look at change in producer support estimate, i.e. value of transfers from consumers and taxpayers to farms, under conditions of evolving agricultural policy priorities and instruments towards a “green” transformation.
The change in social infrastructure in rural Bulgaria
Authors:   Institute of agricultural economics, Mihailova Mihaela
Published: April 2024

This study aims to find the state of social infrastructure in Bulgaria and the effect on depopulation of rural areas. Bulgaria’s rural areas have suffered both a decline in population and decline in quality and quantity of social infrastructure services after the country joined the EU. These two processes have a high symbiotic connection. This study implemented a desk research combined with quantitative and qualitative methods and applied a social infrastructure matrix. The result of declined state of social infrastructure is explained by researching: schools, parks and playgrounds, public safety structures, waste disposal facilities, hospitals, roads, recreation facilities, internet access. The state of social infrastructure is one of the important factors for the current state of rural areas and is directly related to the demographic problem the areas face. A new approach towards the problem is required in Bulgaria to revitalize the villages and modernize the social infrastructure. What is necessary is an adequate policy that fosters innovative approaches and helps rural communities, that is in line with Bulgarian environment.
Mechanisms of technological knowledge transfer in the context of smart specialization in rural areas
Authors:   Instytut Rozwoju Wsi i Rolnictwa Polskiej Akademii Nauk, Gontareva Iryna
Published: April 2024

Strategies of smart specialization are based on choosing areas of innovation activity and effective use of knowledge for socio-economic development of the regions. Using knowledge transfer mechanisms to put knowledge into practice is an element of the implementation of these strategies. Studying the effectiveness of such mechanisms includes analyzing their dependence on the implementation context. This research deals with the identification of rural context characteristics that determine the functioning of the mechanisms. The problem is a specific diversity of rural areas. The basic methodological approach of the research is Extractive Qualitative Content Analysis (EQCA), which is used as an instrument to support the empirical identification of causal mechanisms. The empirical data was obtained from rural areas of the Łódźkie Voivodeship. The analysis of the functioning of mechanisms of technological and organizational knowledge transfer has demonstrated that different development programs should be used for at least four types of rural areas. Furthermore, the research revealed the need to expand the list of the used socio-economic characteristics and provide expert evaluations.

Many techniques have been used for decades but finding a low-cost approach without loss of power has attained more focus in recent years. This paper presents the investigation outcomes of superhydrophobic and iccephobic coatings for the anti-icing application. A specimen of 6061 Aluminum Alloy with PTFE coating is analyzed using the Ansys FENSAP-ICE simulation tool and subsequently was subjected to contact angle test. The PTFE coating shows excellent superhydrophobic nature and can serve the aircraft anti-icing requirements at low cost.
INTEGRATING THE ARCTIC INTO THE BELT AND ROAD INITIATIVE: ECONOMIC INTERACTIONS BETWEEN CHINA AND RUSSIA
Authors: Gapon Maksim
Published: April 2024

This article delves into the intricate web of Sino-Russian cooperation within the Arctic, spotlighting the synergistic ventures like the Yamal LNG project as emblematic of broader collaboration in energy, infrastructure development, and geopolitical strategy. It outlines China's proactive stance in leveraging Arctic resources and the Northern Sea Route (NSR) to diversify its energy supply and integrate this polar pathway into its monumental "Belt and Road" initiative. Despite geographical remoteness, China's burgeoning interest in Arctic affairs, primarily driven by economic, geopolitical, and environmental objectives, underscores a strategic alignment with Russia's Arctic dominion. However, this partnership navigates through a spectrum of collaborative and contentious dynamics, particularly around Arctic governance, environmental stewardship, and the exploitation of hydrocarbon resources. While Russia gains investment and technological prowess, enhancing its sovereignty over Arctic navigation and resource utilization, China secures a vital energy lifeline and asserts its global maritime ambitions. Nonetheless, divergent views on Arctic governance and environmental policies pose challenges to this alliance. The article posits that despite these ideological divergences, the mutual benefits of Sino-Russian cooperation in the Arctic will likely foster a stronger, more integrated partnership, potentially reshaping Arctic geopolitics and global energy markets.
Extraoral anatomy in CBCT – a literature review. Part 1: Nasoethmoidal region
Authors: von Arx Thomas , Lozanoff Scott , Bornstein Michael M
Published: April 2024

Cone beam computed tomography has become a widely used imaging technique for dental indications. Depending on the selected size of the field of view, anatomical structures outside the dentomaxillary complex become visible. As a consequence, the clinician must be able to interpret also those anatomical regions. In this article, the anatomy of the nasoethmoidal region is presented based on a literature review. The nose is characterized by the nasal septum and the superior, middle, and inferior conchae. The turbinates may be pneumatized (concha bullosa), mainly the middle concha. The ethmoid bone has a complex morphology (ethmoid labyrinths) and contributes with its perpendicular plate to the nasal septum. Other structures of the septum include the vomer and the septal cartilage. The nasal meatuses stabilize the airflow and direct the inhaled air to the nasopharynx via the choanae. The middle nasal meatus, which is also a part of the so called ostiomeatal complex, serves as the major drainage area (semilunar hiatus) of the paranasal sinuses, i.e., maxillary sinus, anterior ethmoid cells, and frontal sinus. Posterior ethmoid cells empty into the superior meatus and the sphenoid sinus drains into the sphenoethmoidal recess, located above the superior concha. The nasolacrimal duct that is running along the middle portion of the lateral nasal wall opens into the inferior nasal meatus.
THE CONCEPT OF TOTALITARIANISM AND THE PRINCIPLES OF ITS MUSICAL EMBODIMENT IN EVERY GOOD BOY DESERVES FAVOUR BY TOM STOPPARD AND ANDRÉ PREVIN
Authors: Окунева Е.Г. , Дубова А.Ю.
Published: April 2024

Объектом исследования в статье выступает пьеса для актёров и оркестра «Every good boy deserves favour» (в рус. перев. «До-ре-ми-фа-соль-ля-си-Ты-свободы-попроси»), созданная британским драматургом Томом Стоппардом и американским композитором Андре Превеном в 1977 году. Главной идеей пьесы является противостояние тоталитарного государства и личности. В работе раскрываются особенности драматургии и стилистики пьесы в ракурсе воплощения её ведущей тематической линии. Отмечается влияние театра абсурда в драматургии Стоппарда. Особое внимание уделяется специфике сценической постановки, а также музыкальному языку, насыщенному стилевыми аллюзиями и цитатами. Выбор интертекстуальных отсылок, их анализ и интерпретация позволяют утверждать, что музыка становится важным смысловым компонентом всей пьесы, не только отражая главную идею сочинения, но и устанавливая дополнительные смысловые обертоны, раскрывающие судьбу искусства в тоталитарном государстве.

The object of the research in the article is the play for actors and orchestra Every Good Boy Deserves Favour, created by the British playwright Tom Stoppard and the American composer André Previn in 1977. The main idea of the play is the confrontation between a totalitarian state and an individual. The article reveals the features of the drama and style of the play from the perspective of the embodiment of its leading thematic line. The influence of the theater of the absurd in Stoppard’s drama is noted. Special attention is devoted to the specifics of the stage production, as well as the musical language packed with stylistic allusions and quotations. The choice of intertextual references, their analysis and interpretation allow us to assert that music becomes an important semantic component of the whole play, not only reflecting the main idea of the composition, but also establishing additional semantic overtones that reveal the fate of art in a totalitarian state.

Research on Extracting Multiple Feature Impervious Surface Based on Fusion of Optics and Radar
Authors: Deng Libo , Wu Jiabao
Published: April 2024

Impervious surface is an important indicator for analyzing urban expansion, measuring the degree of urbanization, and characterizing the urban ecological environment. Accurately extracting impervious surface data is of great significance to regional economic development, disaster prediction, ecological restoration, and environmental assessment. In this paper, using multi-spectral, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and surface temperature retrieval (LST) data, from the four perspectives of spectral features, time series features, SAR texture features, and coherence features, an index feature that highlights impervious surface information is constructed. The model generates a 10m impervious surface product in the urban area of Shaoguan, and verifies the accuracy of the real sample based on the 0.8m GF-2 data in the same period. The results indicate that the overall accuracy of extracting impermeable surfaces in the study area is 94%, with a Kappa coefficient of 0.92. The multi feature fusion random forest model combining optical data and SAR data has high extraction accuracy and applicability in the mountainous areas of southwestern China, which improves the misclassification of bare land and other land types as impermeable surfaces.

Authors: Balisson S. , de Labrusse C. , Dassonville L. , Bertuit J.
Published: April 2024

Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is effective in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to investigate a new management approach involving the use of a mobile application (app) along with standard pelvic floor physiotherapy. The study included 30 female participants with SUI who were aged between 30 and 60 years. The women in the intervention group performed exercises at home using an app connected to an intravaginal probe. Those in the control group performed the same exercises using paper-based instructions. The period of the intervention was 3 months, and five parameters were analysed: adherence, compliance, SUI symptoms, pelvic floor functionality and quality of life (QOL). All participants received physiotherapy sessions in parallel with PFMT. The intervention group showed improvements in incontinence symptoms (P = 0.002), QOL (P = 0.003) and pelvic floor functionality over the course of treatment. Improvements in symptoms (P = 0.021), QOL (P = 0.008), and the strength and speed of contractions were observed in the control group. Intergroup tests only identified a significant difference for the PERFECT speed parameter (P = 0.011). A decrease in motivation was noted in both groups. This study did not show that an app connected to a probe was superior to paper-based instructions for PFMT. However, it did confirm that a home exercise programme combined with physiotherapy has a positive impact on SUI symptoms and QOL.

Published: April 2024

INTRODUCTION Throughout Cambodia, a myriad of organizations tackle diverse issues, experiencing firsthand the multifaceted challenges the COVID-19 pandemic unleashed. These challenges extended beyond health, severely impacting the economy and complicating efforts in civic engagement. Research from the Last-West Management Institute (EWMI) highlighted that the economic ramifications of the pandemic were particularly concerning for the Cambodian population. The pandemic’s restrictions hindered the gathering of citizens for democratic participation, posing a significant obstacle to civil society’s efforts toward fostering positive change. In response, civil society adapted by evaluating citizen concerns, prioritizing health issues, and engaging smaller groups in civic activities to maintain interest and participation among the populace. As Cambodia grapples with the consequences of COVID-19, the nation confronts significant economic, social, and health-related challenges. The crisis has not only precipitated economic hardships but has also made the promotion of civic participation more challenging, reflecting the intricate link between public health and democratic engagement. This context was underscored in discussions with representatives from major United Nations (UN) agencies, academia, and the business sector, emphasizing the importance of incorporating perspectives from Cambodia’s civil society. These dialogues serve as a crucial platform for sharing insights and strategies, underscoring the collective effort required to navigate the pandemic’s multifaceted impact on society.

Published: April 2024

INTRODUCTION The COVID-19 pandemic has forced millions of students out of schools worldwide. The casc of Cambodia is not an exception to this situation. As the start of the Coronavirus in 2019 has caused public health awareness (Subedi et al., 2020), the spread of the virus raised concerns for schools and universitics to shut down. Countries in almost all regions around the world closed down their schools as a part of the preventive measures to control the virus. The virus has not only affected education but also socialization. As Cambodia has experienced the presence of the virus, the global pandemic has turned everything upside down; hence, its effect on Cambodia’s education sector is not surprising. Cambodia’s first confirmed case of COVID-19 occurred in late January 2020. With a second case in early March 2020 in Siem Reap province, home of the renowned temples of Angkor Wat, the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport (MoEYS), in an abundance of caution, closed the schools until further notice. All of Cambodia’s 13,300 schools have been closed since March 16, 2020, leading many students to seek distance learning opportunities to continue their education. To respond to this crisis, United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has been working closely with the MoEYS in Cambodia to establish continuous learning activities from carly childhood through to primary, lower, and upper secondary education. Distance learning assets, including videos and e-lessons, are being broadcast on various social media platforms, television and radio, aiming to reach every household in Cambodia. E-Learning is a type of learning or teaching platform that depends on electronic devices and technology instead of papers and classroom teaching. Thus, with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, students had to meet teachers online for learning.

Published: April 2024

Nas duas últimas décadas o cinema tem estado cada vez mais presente nas principais exposições internacionais de arte. Grandes museus e centros culturais realizam frequentemente importantes exposições coletivas, tendo como tema central o cinema e suas relações intrínsecas com a produção artística contemporânea. Muitas destas obras trazem referências explícitas ao cinema, por meio de releituras ou da utilização de trechos de filmes de outros cineastas. Outras elaboram narrativas audiovisuais baseadas nos códigos da linguagem do cinema e apresentam estas imagens e sons em ambientes específicos para projeções com uma ou mais telas. Algumas destacam o suporte técnico de exibição das imagens (projetores, computadores etc). Outras exigem contemplação e empenho por parte do espectador, não mais inerte em uma poltrona.

Experiências urbanas: a cidade como suporte e a vida como arte
Authors: Urssi Nelson José
Published: April 2024

As Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC) foram incorporadas às cidades propiciando novas relações com o espaço urbano. As tecnologias móveis, dispositivos, gadgets e aplicativosque utilizam tecnologias baseadas em localização (LBT) e serviços baseados em localização (LBS) possibilitam que um fluxo intenso de informações seja transformado em uma nova forma de territorialização.A arte contemporânea, entre tradições e identidades uniformizadas pela globalização, tem papel fundamental na construção do imaginário cotidiano neste contínuo processo de urbanização. Esta cultura, lugar de experiências urbanas, constrói cartografias estéticas, como geoanotações e narrativas na cidade. O artista-cidadão, utilizando-se da estética radicante proposta por Bourriaud (2011), transplanta origens, inventa trajetórias, ressignifica-se em suas errâncias.

O texto que ora apresentamos, no entanto, assume o risco de frustrartal expectativa por duas razões: primeiramente, motiva-se não por uma estreia literária, propriamente, mas por uma reedição, a décima primeira,“revista e definitiva”, de Eles eram muitos cavalos, de Luiz Ruffato, obra publicada, originalmente, em 2001; e, além disso, pelo fato de que não trataremos, exatamente, do livro em si, mas das relações que estabelece como conjunto da obra, especialmente, com os cinco volumes que compõem o ciclo narrativo intitulado Inferno Provisório.

To improve the nutrition sensitivity of the Municipal Agriculture Development Plan (MADP) of Calabarzon, a one-group pre-test post-test design quasi-experimental study was conducted involving the Local Agriculture Planners (LAP) of 57 municipalities in the region from March to December 2021. Wilcoxon Paired Signed Rank was used to determine significant differences in the nutrition sensitivity of the MADP and level of knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy of the LAP before and after the intervention. Binary logistic regression analysis was also performed to model the change in the level of the nutrition sensitivity of the MADP. The LAP's level of knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy as well as the nutrition sensitivity of the MADP significantly improved after the capacity building. The study also found that the change in knowledge of municipal agriculturists may increase the nutrition sensitivity of the MADP by 28%. Therefore, capacitating LAP on nutrition-sensitive agriculture can significantly improve their capability to create local agriculture plans that are also nutrition-focused.

Introduction: Reading literary works offers a unique opportunity for individuals to enhance their understanding of the world and self-awareness through stylistic analysis. This study focuses on exploring the use of various lexical and grammatical choices in Joseph Conrad's masterwork "Heart of Darkness" to demonstrate the value of the English language's intrinsic aspects. Methodology: The methodology involved a detailed examination of Conrad's writing style in "Heart of Darkness." Stylistic analysis was conducted to identify the linguistic components used by Conrad to captivate the audience and evoke a sense of uncertainty. Special attention was given to the widespread usage of hypothetical phrases and the intricacy of Conrad's writing style. Findings: Conrad's adept use of language components in "Heart of Darkness" effectively captured the audience's attention and left them with a profound sense of uncertainty. The widespread usage of hypothetical phrases added a distinctive flavor to his work, compelling readers to carefully absorb the material to uncover its meanings beneath the surface. The analysis revealed clarity amidst the unpredictability of the language, shedding light on the deeper layers of Conrad's narrative. Implication/Future Direction: The findings of this study underscore the importance of stylistic analysis in understanding literary works and enhancing cognitive development. Further research could explore the impact of Conrad's writing style on readers' interpretation and appreciation of "Heart of Darkness," as well as its broader implications for literary analysis and education. Additionally, future studies could investigate the application of similar stylistic analysis techniques to other literary works across different genres and authors

Introduction: This study examines Pakistani non-Muslim university students' challenges and how they affect their self-esteem. Understanding non-Muslim students' challenges is essential for inclusiveness and a supportive learning environment in increasingly diverse schools. Methodology: This quantitative study surveyed Pakistani non-Muslim university students about their opinions. Curriculum and Literature, Peer and Teacher Views, Rights of Religious Minorities, Inclusive Teaching Skills Techniques, and Student Self-Esteem (CARIS) was a self-created survey tool to assess students' experiences and views 91 male and 61 female non-Muslim students from 46 public and 106 private Pakistani universities were purposefully selected. SPSS 22 was used for descriptive analysis and Smart-PLS 3.9 for SEM analysis. Results/Findings: All four hypotheses greatly increased non-Muslim pupils' self-esteem. Results showed that students had strong opinions on curriculum, literature, attitudes, and rights issues. Non-Muslim students' experiences were not significantly different by gender, institute type (public vs. private), or province. Age and program of study differed significantly among non-Muslim students. Future Direction: This study emphasizes the need for specific interventions for Pakistani non-Muslim university students. Future studies should address academic content and literature concerns, improve peer-teacher interactions, and promote diversity in Pakistani universities. More in-depth mixed-method research is needed to understand non-Muslim students' educational experiences and requirements.
