Interaction between media and judicial authority in Ukraine during Wartime
Authors: Gudz T.I.
Published: August 2024

This article is dedicated to analyzing the interaction between media and the judicial authority in Ukraine amid the war caused by the aggression of the Russian Federation. Since the war has significantly impacted the functioning of the judicial system and the work of the media, creating new challenges such as the destruction of judicial infrastructure, the evacuation of judges, restricted access to information, pressure on the media, self-censorship, and the spread of disinformation, it is essential to develop mechanisms to counter disinformation and fake news. This will help protect the independence of the judiciary and the rule of law, ensuring unbiased and objective coverage of judicial processes.
One example of successful counteraction to disinformation is the «STOPFAKE» project, which publishes investigations and refutations of fake news about Ukraine, collaborating with international media organizations. The article also analyzes existing mechanisms for protecting Ukraine’s information space and suggests improvements. In particular, it proposes creating specialized training programs for journalists in media literacy and fact-checking, implementing artificial intelligence technologies for automatic fake news detection, and enhancing cooperation between state authorities, media, and public organizations.
The article emphasizes that to increase public trust in the judicial system, it is crucial to ensure journalists have unobstructed access to court hearings and the ability to objectively cover the progress of cases. The openness of judicial processes through the media will promote transparency and accountability in the judicial system. Measures are proposed to minimize the negative consequences of the war and maximize positive outcomes, including the publication of information about the work of the judiciary by the courts, the development of ethical standards for journalists, the creation of a mobile application for the judicial system, and the implementation of new approaches to counter disinformation. These steps will strengthen cooperation between courts and the media, which is critically important for maintaining the rule of law and justice in Ukraine during the war.

The scientific article presents the results of a legal and psychological study of the role of prolonged psychological manipulation in the formation and unfolding of the deep polyphonic conflict «domestic violence». The topicality of the topic is due to the acuteness of the problem of domestic violence and the need for a scientific search for optimal ways to reduce the risks of domestic violence. Given the specifics of the research subject, in the context of this research, the phenomenon of «psychological manipulation» is considered as the unlawful power influence of the perpetrator of domestic violence on a potential victim. The work is characterized by the novelty of the search model of theoretical and practical results. The characteristics of some formats of negative psychological manipulation are disclosed. It is emphasized that psychological violence pervades all other forms (types) of domestic violence. A generalized portrait of the passive offender’s personality is compiled. Formulated author’s statement about the role of manipulation in the development of domestic violence. The sources of the offender’s violent behavior are emphasized and the factors of the victim’s subordinate victim behavior are noted. The opinion on the expediency of increasing the level of psychological self-regulation of the individual in order to adapt potential victims to the factors provoking domestic violence is given.

We sincerely hope that the presented research results will interest researchers in the field of prevention and combating domestic violence and involve them in a constructive scientific discussion.
The right to artificial termination of pregnancy (abortion) in the practice of the US Supreme Court: a review of recent trends
Authors: Zabokrytskyy I.
Published: August 2024

This article examines the latest trends in the US Supreme Court’s jurisprudence on the right to artificial termination of pregnancy (abortion). It is stated that the right to abortion is not an integral part of the text of the US Constitution - it was not provided for in the original text, nor in the Bill of Rights, nor in subsequent amendments. However, the regulation of the right to abortion has been the subject of litigation and a number of decisions of the US Supreme Court. The issue is not only legal, but also political - in particular, the attitude to the regulation of the right to abortion, the question of whether it should be resolved at the federal level or at the level of individual states, what discretion should be given to the states, etc. This issue is a part of the debate, a public discussion, in almost every US election. Main decisions of the US Supreme Court in this area are reviewed, in particular Roe v. Wade, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA. It is concluded that the right to abortion in the United States is not enshrined in the Constitution, and this creates certain problems, since it allows some theorists and practitioners to appeal to the fact that the absence of such constitutional enshrinement indicates an unwillingness to grant this right the status of a fundamental right protected by the Constitution. It is argued that this argument should be disagreed with, since in the US legal tradition a significant number of rights are somehow derived from the text of the Constitution in judicial practice, and therefore the understanding of the right to abortion as such which is grounded in the Fourteenth Amendment to the US Constitution is fully justified. It is pointed out that recent trends, in particular, the cases which have been heard or are pending in 2022-2024, indicate that the stability of legal regulation of the right to abortion in the United States has been shaken. Almost 50 years of Roe v. Wade precedent were not enough to convince some in the community that the right to abortion is truly firmly rooted in American history and tradition. By depriving it of constitutional protection, it allowed for considerable discretion to be given to the states, which could impose various types of regulation, up to and including a complete ban. Food and Drug Administration v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine further extended the «attack» on this right, which may also affect the interests of a significant number of women in the United States. To summarize, the recent trends are more political than legal, caused rather by ideological motives, as there were not enough convincing arguments to abandon the previous practice established by Roe v Wade. Enshrining the right to abortion at the level of the US Constitution (through an amendment) could help, but seems unrealistic given the polarization of society.
Problematic Aspects of Qualification of War Crimes in Ukraine
Authors: Kolomiiets N. , Luhyna Y.
Published: August 2024

The article is dedicated to exploring the legislation of Ukraine in the sphere of regulating war crimes. The research is based on the analysis of normative acts of international humanitarian and criminal law, which have established serious violations of the laws and customs of war and equated them with serious international crimes. Additionally, attention is focused on the long­standing experience of international institutions dealing with the regulation of the mechanism of punishment for war criminals. For Ukraine, the issue of war crimes has become relevant in the conditions of armed conflict caused by the aggression of the Russian Federation. Currently, the number of these crimes is gradually increasing. By the end of 2023, over 109,000 instances of war crimes committed by the Russian armed forces had been documented. Alongside, the number of criminal proceedings for violations of the laws and customs of war is increasing. It was further noted that deficiencies in the legislative definition of war crimes and the lack of necessary legal practice in such a specific category of offenses lead to difficulties in qualifying war crimes. The basis for qualifying a crime is the composition of a criminal offense. In Ukraine, there is a single provision providing for criminal liability for violations of the laws and customs of war — Section 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. This article lacks both a definition of war crime and a clear objective aspect of the offense, and the punishment is less severe compared to other general criminal statutes. Section 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine is generic. Due to such wording of war crimes in Ukraine, the practice of additional qualification of violations of the laws and customs of war under articles on torture, intentional grievous bodily harm, intentional moderate bodily harm, intentional minor bodily harm, coercion to testify, etc., has spread. Avoiding difficulties in qualifying war crimes can be achieved through access to sources of international humanitarian and criminal law. The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court is one of the most important legal acts that has codified the entire range of elements of war crimes and detailed them. Ukraine is a signatory to the Rome Statute, but has not yet ratified it.
Evolution of International Legal Standards Regarding Responsibility for Violations of Laws and Customs of War (Second Half of the XIX-th – First Half of the XX-th Century)
Authors: Tsyrulyk S.S.
Published: August 2024

This article examines the evolution of international legal standards aimed at defining responsibility for violations of laws and customs of war from the second half of the 19th century to the first half of the 20th century. It emphasizes that war is undoubtedly one of the most dreadful events that can impact people’s lives and society. However, if it is not controlled or conducted in accordance with international norms and standards, its consequences can be even more devastating and catastrophic. Since the beginning of the full-scale armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, the term «violation of laws and customs of war» has become widespread. Responsibility for such actions is provided for by Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. However, the criminalization of this act is not related to Ukraine’s domestic legal order, as violations of laws and customs of war are an international crime that causes serious harm to people, economic objects, and cultural heritage, creating a high level of societal danger.
The article covers an analysis of key international documents such as the Geneva Conventions, decisions of the Hague Conferences, and UN resolutions, exploring their influence on shaping legal norms in this area. It examines changes in legal regulation, their causes, and consequences, as well as the role of specific individuals and historical events in this process. This research is important for understanding past experiences in the context of current challenges and conflicts, as well as for further development of international law and ensuring the protection of human rights during armed conflicts.
In conclusion, it is noted that the second half of the 19th and the first half of the 20th centuries witnessed significant development of international legal standards concerning responsibility for violations of laws and customs of war. This period was crucial in shaping the fundamental principles of international humanitarian law aimed at protecting human rights during armed conflicts. As a result of this process, a series of international treaties and conventions were adopted, which established rules of conduct in armed conflicts and mechanisms for accountability for their violations. These standards have been an important step in humanizing war and protecting human rights during armed conflicts.
Special pre-trial investigation (in absentia): analysis of individual issues regarding the decision-making process
Authors: Vapniarchuk V.V.
Published: August 2024

Thearticleisdevoted tothe study of certainissues of the essence of the special pre-trial investigation (in absentia) (SDR) as an extraordinary procedure of pre-trial investigation, which is carried out in relation to persons suspected of committing crimes defined in the Criminal Code and who are hiding from the investigative bodies and the court in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine , on the territory of a state recognized by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine as an aggressor state, for the purpose of evading criminal responsibility and/or declared an international wanted person, in order to ensure the effective pre-trial investigation and the inevitability of punishment of such persons and the observance of their rights and legitimate interests. Special attention is paid to the issue of the procedure for making a decision on SDR and its implementation in the case when a person is suspected of committing several criminal offenses for which the law both provides and does not provide for the possibility of SDR. Based on the analysis of the circumstances of one real criminal proceeding, the author’s opinion is expressed regarding a number of theoretically and practically significant questions, the answers to which are important not only for this, but also for other similar proceedings. So, in particular, it is a well- founded position that the prosecutor, investigator, detective cannot arbitrarily extend the SDR regime in relation to criminal offenses suspected of having been committed after the decision of the investigating judge to grant permission for SDR and when this decision did not mention the commission of such offenses. The SDR regime can be extended to other «new crimes» in proceedings in which such a decision has already been made, in the order of a new appeal under the conditions specified in the law. An opinion was expressed regarding: the detective’s action algorithm in the event that, during the SDR, it is established that the suspect in this proceeding also committed other criminal offenses; the consequences of the detective’s actions regarding the decision to combine the materials of criminal proceedings and the extension of the SDR regime to «new» criminal offenses; the possibility of carrying out SDR of criminal misdemeanors.
Prospects for the creation of OSCE international police forces: International legal aspects
Authors: Ahmadov E.M.
Published: August 2024

The work is devoted to the study of international legal issues related to the creation of international police forces within the framework of the OSCE. In the doctrine of international law, the issues of creating such forces within international organizations, including the OSCE, remain understudied. As a result, there are very few scholarly works that cover the topic of this research. This topic has significant scientific importance due to the increasing political tension in Europe.
A specific problem today, leading to conflict escalation due to loss of trust between the parties in the peace negotiation process, are provocations at borders where it is not possible to determine which side initiated such actions. Unfortunately, it is common for one side of the conflict to demonstrate military strength by deploying troops and heavy artillery directly to the borders with the opposing side, which is usually interpreted as a threat of military force. Such actions, of course, reduce trust between the parties, negatively affecting the course of peaceful negotiations, and clearly do not serve the purpose of final conflict resolution. Therefore, in our view, the placement of neutral civilian OSCE police forces in the border territories of the warring parties would successfully resolve this issue.
The process of creating an international OSCE police force requires the development of international legal provisions regulating the main spectrum of issues in the functioning of this body. In particular, among such issues is the creation of an international judicial body alongside the police forces, which would handle cases arising from the interactions of international police with individuals on the ground.
Thus, the goal of this work is to research the international legal and institutional problems in creating international OSCE police forces, as well as to determine the specific form of activity of these forces, which is most appropriate considering current realities. According to the research findings, the creation of international OSCE police forces is advisable in contemporary international relations and acceptable from the perspective of international law.
Crime Research in Russia

Published: August 2024

The publication reflects the results of reviewing the monograph by A.M. Antonyan, O.R. Afanasyeva, M.V. Goncharova “Crime in Russia” (Moscow, Yurlitinform Publ., 2023. 272 p.). Results. The work raises a number of critical comments, which are particularly addressed to its methodology. The incompleteness of the statistical analysis of the state of crime in Russia is also noteworthy. In general, the content of the monograph does not sufficiently take into account modern trends in the development of Russia, expressed in the preservation and strengthening of traditional spiritual and moral values, patriotism, and countering legal nihilism and extremism.
Non-Normative Laws and the Problem of Legal Normativity
Authors: Muzalevskaya Elena
Published: August 2024

The relevance of this scientific article is due to the insufficient elaboration of the problem of non-normative laws in the theory of law, as well as the need to clarify the concept of legal normativity, which does not take into account the existence of normative legal facts. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to study certain aspects of non-normative laws, substantiate the expansion of the concept of legal normativity by including normative legal facts in it. Methodology. In the preparation of this article, general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis), general logical methods (induction, deduction, generalization, classification), special legal methods (formal legal, method of interpretation of legal norms) were used. Results. It is noted that in the Russian legal system, the use of non-normative laws in legislative practice has become quite widespread. At the same time, the correctness of the qualification of certain types of laws as non-normative acts in some cases is questionable, since it does not take into account the possibility of fixing in them not only individual legal prescriptions, but also regulatory legal facts. A broader understanding of legal normativity than the traditional one makes it possible to clarify the substantive classification of laws, including regulatory laws. Conclusion. It is summarized that the concept of legal normativity should cover two types of its manifestation: generally binding rules of conduct and normative legal facts.
The Formation of Soviet Legislation in the Field of Higher Education during the Period from 1917 to 1930
Authors: Ivova Maria
Published: August 2024

Regulatory and legal reform of higher education has always been a way to solve political and ideological problems, some of which are still relevant. The principles of higher education laid down from 1917 to 1930 are still relevant today. The importance of studying the formation of the higher education system at the beginning of the formation of the Soviet state is caused by the need for a better understanding of modern processes in education policy. Purpose. The purpose of the study is to identify the main stages and principles of higher education reform at the beginning of the Soviet period. Methodology. The following methods are used in the research: historical-legal method, historicism method, sociological method, hermeneutics method. Changes in law occur under the influence of political and ideological processes in a certain historical period. When using the sociological method, law examines a social phenomenon that is formed under the influence of social relations. The hermeneutics method is used to interpret legal acts. Results. The process of formation of higher education management bodies is analyzed. The basic principles of building an educational system are derived based on the study of legal acts regulating the area under study. Conclusion. Approaches to the formation of a professional training system changed during the period taken for study, which shows a fairly prompt response by the state to identified problems. Of course, not all decisions were effective, which is natural, especially during the formation of a new approach to educational policy.
Responsibility for Forgery in Russia (The Pre-Soviet Period)
Authors: Balandin Alexey
Published: August 2024

The emergence of criminal liability for forgery is a rare case when it stems from the subject of the crime, and not from its object. This is natural for Russian legislation, since for a long time there was no clear division into branches of law. Purpose. The purpose is to show the development of criminal liability for forgery in Russian criminal law. Methodology. The methodology includes the use of comparative historical, formal logical and statistical methods. Results. The following types of forgeries were distinguished in the criminal legislation of Russia: political, official, judicial, military, managerial, outrageous (rebellious), quarantine, religious. Of particular interest is identity forgery (imposture). Conclusion. A historical overview of the responsibility for forgery in pre-Soviet Russia allows us to take a fresh look at the existing practice of protecting individuals, society and the state from creating false documents for their socially dangerous use in public relations.

Published: August 2024

Inference for impulse responses estimated with local projections presents interesting challenges and opportunities. Analysts typically want to assess the precision of individual estimates, explore the dynamic evolution of the response over particular regions, and generally determine whether the impulse generates a response that is any different from the null of no effect. Each of these goals requires a different approach to inference. In this article, we provide an overview of results that have appeared in the literature in the past 20 years along with some new procedures that we introduce here.

New World, Old Hope: Utopian Imaginaries in Golden Door by Emanuele Crialese
Authors:   The John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, Poland (barbara.klonowska@kul.pl), Klonowska Barbara
Published: August 2024

Golden Door (Nuovomondo), a 2006 film by Emanuele Crialese, tells the story of Europeans immigrating to America at the turn of the twentieth century. Representing various characters travelling there driven by diverse motivations, the film showcases different versions of a utopian imaginary vision of America. The article analyses the various ways in which the American ‘promised land’ is conceptualized in the film and how all of them are contrasted with and checked by the realities of the voyage and the Ellis Island reception centre. Referring to the concept of the imaginary, the analysis discusses mechanisms and functions of their production and their subsequent verification and contrast with the rather dystopian realities of the host country.
“This Time We Take the Engine!”: Class War in Dystopian Films of the Occupy Era
Authors:   Sorbonne Université, France; Le Mans Université, France (daniel.koechlin@univ-lemans.fr), Koechlin Daniel
Published: August 2024

In the wake of the Occupy movement, a group of dystopian films were released that, despite many differences, share a unique series of characteristics. In the Hunger Games trilogy, Elysium and Snowpiercer, class war emerges as the main theme. The 99% are physically shut out from the world of the 1% by impressive barriers which must be destroyed through bloody struggle. The paper uses a critical approach, mainly Jamesonian, to examine historical, political, psychological and interpretative issues in this constellation of occupy-era films, and how they testify to the huge impact on the American psyche of the 2007 financial crisis and ensuing long depression, and the feeling of frustration that fostered Occupy. Of particular interest is the way in which these critical dystopias deal with the ideologeme of “ressentiment” while depicting the breaching of the residences of the elite by the pleb.
The Crisis of the Mind in the Modern Age and Its Poetic Consequences. Examples from Texts by Joyce, Zamiatin and Pessoa
Authors:   Universidade do Porto, Portugal (jereis@utad.pt), Reis José Eduardo , Gerry Chris ,   Universidade do Porto, Portugal (cgerry@utad.pt)
Published: August 2024

This paper interrogates some of the utopian and dystopian characteristics found in three key modernist texts by Joyce, Zamyatin and Pessoa, the literary effects of which have been strongly influenced by the crisis of narrative self- representation and the allegorical demythification of totalitarian social and political experiments. Two distinct perspectives are deployed in order to achieve this: Paul Valéry’s dystopian cultural-philosophical reflections on the intellectual crisis of Western civilisation as presented in his 1919 essay “The Crisis of the Mind”; and Frank Kermode’s essay on the contradictory nature of modernism, “The Modern”, published in 1965–1966.
Voyages utopiques et SF dans deux romans grecs antiques
Authors:   Babeș-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania (corinbraga@yahoo.com), Braga Corin
Published: August 2024

The Renaissance genre of utopia has its forerunners in the extraordinary voyages of the Roman Empire’s literature. Two of these adventure novels, Wonders beyond Thulé by Antonius Diogenes and True Histories by Lucian, from the 2nd century CE, stage different places with utopian characteristics (Hyperborea, Pythagora’s and Zamolxis’ communities, the Island of the Blessed, the Island of Dreams) or early SF traits (the Moon, the Sun, several aerial cities). Nourished by the rich imaginary of the ancient paradoxographia (historical, geographical and literary texts about the mirabilia of the East), these texts display a tremendous freedom of invention. Intended to copy or parody previous writings, in order to entertain and please their readership, they ignore all Aristotelian precepts of structure or the need for a global unified meaning, and develop random narrative scenarios, which I would characterize as “anarchetypal”.
Dystopia Revisited: Biopolitics as Remedy and Response to Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
Authors:   Università degli Studi di Cagliari, Italy (mauropala61@gmail.com), Pala Mauro
Published: August 2024

Philip K. Dick’s science fiction classic Do Androids Dream of Electrics Sheep? and its adaptation movie Blade Runner by Ridley Scott feature a devastated earth where bounty hunter Rick Deckard stalks authentic human replicants, designed for a short term highly flexible labor power. A group of these androids infiltrate to the earth of the productive apparatus which manufactured them, trying to persuade their maker to re-program their genetic makeup. Biopolitics as conceived by Roberto Esposito is apt at exploiting the reserves of sense present in Dick’s critical scenario, and managing the mixing of languages of politics and biology, which originally were kept apart in the dystopic dimension of the novel and in the political philosophy tradition. Discarding the frontal approach to the categories of politics, Esposito urges to interrogate the categories of politics obliquely, thus entering the hidden layers of their meaning, fostering an innovative coexistence of opposites.
J. G. Ballard’s The Drowned World: A Nonhuman Utopia
Authors:   University of Osijek, Croatia (lmatek@ffos.hr), Matek Ljubica
Published: August 2024

The paper explores J. G. Ballard’s visionary 1962 novel The Drowned World as an example of a nonhuman utopia. Although written well before the conceptualization of the notion of the nonhuman turn, the novel embodies the philosophical ideas of such a turn as it challenges anthropocentric hierarchy and represents humans as disempowered and reactive, rather than proactive beings. The Drowned World imagines a world regressing into a prehistoric, pre-human state due to the Sun’s extreme activity and radical warming in a process of entropy, as all human scientific and architectural achievements collapse in the face of the merciless sun and the advancing ocean. The urban space is turned into lagoons that resemble heterotopias, a space that accommodates the transitional phase in the process of imminent human extinction, which, paradoxically, is met with relief and embraced as utopian by the novel’s protagonist.

Pendubot is a popular single input-multi output (SIMO) in laboratories to test control algorithms. In this paper, we focus on a developed model of pendubot – linear triple-linked pendubot (LTLP) and propose LQR to control this model. Through simulation, link 1 is kept balanced, kept following trajectories when link 2, 3 is kept upward under LQR control. Thence, besides balancing well this model at TOP position, our algorithm also makes system tracking sine and pulse trajectories well.
profanación del instinto: madres extraviadas en el cine clásico
Authors: Aimaretti María
Published: August 2024

Desde una perspectiva culturalista y con un enfoque comparado, el texto analiza, en el marco de los cines clásicos argentino y español, representaciones de la maternidad que incumplen con el paradigma hegemónico que prescribe: ternura ilimitada, cuidado intensivo, tolerancia absoluta y entrega constante. En su lugar, se encuentra desidia, inercia, incompetencia y desgano en el cuidado y la crianza de los/as hijos/as. Se estudia, para esto, la figuración de la mujer-madre «extraviada» en el caso de los filmes Surcos (Nieves Conde, España, 1951) y El secuestrador (Torre Nilsson, Argentina, 1958).

A su vez, estos frutos poseen una alta actividad antioxidante debida principalmente a los niveles de fenoles y carotenoides totales (1117.46±18.51 μg ácido clorogénico/g de tejido y 43.09±3.48 μg β-caroteno/g de tejido), siendo los tenores de ácido ascórbico reducidos.
PELAKSANAAN PENANAMAN SHARING BEHAVIOR TERHADAP KARAKTER PEDULI SOSIAL ANAK
Authors: Sari Mega Permata , Eliza Delfi
Published: August 2024

Penelitian ini berdasarkan pada pentingnya pelaksanaan penanaman sharing behavior terhadap karakter peduli sosial anak. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan penanaman sharing behavior anak pada umumnya bahwa anak-anak yang tidak mau berbagi dengan teman sebayanya di lingkungan sekitar. Hal ini terlihat pada anak yang masih enggan untuk saling berbagi terhadap segala hal yang mereka miliki. Contohnya masih banyak anak-anak yang tidak ingin berbagi makanan, meminjamkan alat tulis, dan berbagi benda-benda lain seperti mainan. Bahkan, untuk sekadar meminjamkan sesuatu kepada sesama anak tersebut masih saling enggan satu sama lain. Meskipun ada sebagian anak yang mudah berbagi, namun pada kenyataannya anak-anak yang berbagi tersebut menganggap bahwa mereka akan mendapatkan balasan berbagi pula dengan yang lainnya berupa benda lain. Maka dari itu, penanaman sharing behavior sangat perlu dikenalkan semenjak usia dini, sebab jika sejak usia dini sudah ditanamkan rasa peduli social pada anak, maka hingga dewasa anak akan peduli pada lingkungan sekitarnya. Penelitian ini dilakukan melalui pendekatan kualitatif dengan memakai metode deskriptif. Sumber informasi penelitian ini yakni dari anak yang ada sekitar rumah peneliti serta orang tua si anak. Penelitian memakai teknik pengumpulan data berupa observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Teknik keabsahan data pada penelitian ini ialah triangulasi. Dalam penelitian ini, peneliti memfokuskan pada penanaman sharing behavior yang dapat meningkatkan perilaku berbagi pada anak usia dini. Hasil penelitian yang didapatkan dari penelitian ini yakni dengan dilaksanakannya penanaman sharing behavior terhadap karakter peduli sosial anak, anak-anak dapat lebih meningkatkan perilaku berbagi terhadap sesama lingkungan sekitar. Hal ini juga tampak pada semua sumber yang telah ditelaah serta hasil penelitian yang relevan dengan penelitian pelaksanaan penanaman sharing behavior untuk meningkatkan karakter peduli social pada anak usia dini.

BAHASA ARAB DIANTARA RUMPUN BAHASA SEMIT

Published: August 2024

Bahasa Arab sebagai bahasa yang paling dekat dengan Semit. Bahasa ini mempunyai posisi yang lebih dibanding bahasa-bahasa lain dari rumpun bahasa Semit. Bahasa Arab termasuk bahasa yang paling banyak dipakai sekarang ini. Penuturnya bukan hanya umat Islam tapi di luar agama Islam juga. Semit adalah salah satu rumpun bahasa yang dinisbahkan kepada salah satu putra nabi Nuh a.s. yaitu Syam bin Nuh. Dalam riwayat dikatakan bahwa nabi Nuh mempunyai tiga anak yakni Syam (Semit), Yafit (Aramiyah) dan Ham (Hamiyah). Bahasa-bahasa yang dimasukkan dalam rumpun-rumpun Semit mengalami perkembangan. Sebagian dari bahasa-bahasa ini mengalami kemajuan sampai kepada kepunahan seperti Akkadian. Sedangkan yang lainnya, meskipun tidak mengalami kepunahan akan tetapi penuturnya tidak lagi menjadi bangsa yang besar. Bahasanya hanya dipakai oleh sebagian kecil orang saja, seperti Aramik. Hanya bahasa Arab, salah satu bahasa dari rumpun Semit juga yang mampu bertahan ribuan tahun dan penuturnya semakin berkembang sampai sekarang ini. Kesimpulan terakhir yang paling mendekati kebenaran adalah bahasa Arab mewakili rumpun-rumpun yang lain, baik dari aspek sumber asal Semit itu sendiri sampai kepada perkembangannya di dunia modern sekarang ini.
Uncertainty analysis for free-space three-dimensional measurement of electromagnetic pulse

As the polarization direction is unknown in free-space three-dimensional (3D) electromagnetic pulse (EMP) measurement, the components in three directions are usually measured first, and then the total vector is calculated. The waveform (magnitude) and polarization direction define the 3D process. Because of the uncertainty produced in the component measurement, there is also uncertainty in the calculated 3D process. This paper investigates the propagation of uncertainty during the total vector calculation process. The magnitude and polarization angle uncertainty propagation formulas are derived through analysis. The results show that the uncertainty of the calculated magnitude is less than the maximal measurement uncertainty of the three components, and the uncertainty of the polarization angle is less than sqrt(2) times the maximal uncertainty of the three components divided by the magnitude of the measured field. Finally, a Monte-Carlo (MC) simulation is run to validate the results of the analysis. The simulation results agree well with the analysis results.
Evaluating metrological performance of a pressure balance utilizing a high-precision force transducer: an experimental study

Published: August 2024

This paper describes the development and evaluation of a force-pressure balance system utilizing a highprecision force transducer. This setup aims to calibrate hydraulic pressure gauges commonly used in industrial applications, with a measurement range of up to 50 MPa. Detailed investigations were conducted to determine the metrological characteristics and calibration coefficients of the new force-pressure balance setup. Comparisons were made between the results obtained from the new setup and those obtained from another reference pressure standard. The findings highlighted a decrease in the accuracy of the pressure balance within the lower pressure range. This decrease in accuracy can be attributed to the hysteresis effect caused by the force transducer utilized in the setup. Additionally, an error was observed in the pressure characteristic of the piston’s performance, particularly in the lower pressure range. These findings indicate the need for further improvements in the force-pressure balance system to enhance accuracy across the entire pressure range.
Objective method of measuring resolution of image intensifier tubes
Authors: Chrzanowski Krzysztof , Stafiej Bolesław
Published: August 2024

Image intensifier tubes (IITs) are the most important modules of night vision devices used in huge numbers by military forces worldwide. Resolution is the most important parameter of IITs that presents information about ability of these devices to produce output images preserving information about details of the observed scenery. Despite its importance, it is still a common practice to measure resolution subjectively, by an observer looking at image of a resolution target created by a tested IIT. A series of attempts have been carried out to develop objective methods for accurate resolution measurement of IITs but with limited success. Accuracy of these methods varies depending on the tested IIT. This paper presents detailed analysis of proposed methods for objective resolution measurement. This analysis has shown that significant variability of accuracy of these methods is caused by one main drawback: the methods do not take into account influence of the spatial noise effect on human perception of image of the resolution target. Thus, an improved method taking into account spatial noise and its impact on target detection has been proposed. The method has been validated through experimental verification that shows accuracy improvements compared to other objective methods. This new approach improves accuracy of measurement of resolution of IITs to a level that can be accepted at professional test stations. In this way, this new method has potential to replace the standard subjective method to measure resolution of IITs and fix the biggest flaw of the standard test stations: measurement subjectivity.

Published: August 2024

In this paper a comparison of different types of maximum power point search methods for the photovoltaic panels is presented. The methods that represent each group of maximum power point techniques will be implemented in the software that allows to test the behaviour of photovoltaic panels in different environment conditions including partial shading. In this paper each implemented method was compared including time of convergence with the maximum power point, tracking error and differences in the energy obtained from photovoltaics during the simulation time. The algorithms were compared under both uniform lighting and partial shade conditions.

Published: August 2024

The present study documented undergraduate loneliness rates from fall 2008 to spring 2019. Participants consisted of undergraduates who completed the National College Health Assessment II (NCHA II) during this time period. The NCHA II assessed loneliness by having students self-identify if they had felt “very lonely” within the last 12 months. We found that 54.90% to 67.40% of undergraduates self-identified as feeling “very lonely” during these survey periods. Results indicated that most undergraduates experienced loneliness, and undergraduate loneliness rates had been increasing, even after controlling for gender, race, response rate, residential status (domestic versus international), public versus private, school type (two-year versus four-year), and school size (< 5,000, 5,000–20,000, and > 20,000).
