NON-DARCY BIOCONVECTIVE FLOW OF THE REE-EYRING TERNARY-HYBRID NANOFLUID OVER A STRETCHING SHEET WITH VELOCITY AND THERMAL SLIPS: ENTROPY ANALYSIS
Authors: Nabwey Hossam A. , Khan Waqar A. , Abdelrahman Zeinab M. , Rashad Ahmed M. , Hawsah Miad Abu
Published: July 2024

The present paper proposes the mathematical model for non-Newtonian fluid (Ree-Eyring model) towards a stretched
sheet with the porous medium by considering the gyrotactic microorganisms and the inclined magnetic field. The
composite of Al2O3, Ag, and TiO2 in water is called ternary-hybrid nanofluid (THNF), while the composite relation among Al2O3, Ag in water is known as hybrid nanofluid (HNF), and Al2O3 in water is the nanofluid (NF). The Buongiorno model is used in inflow modeling to investigate thermophoresis and Brownian motion. The appropriate transformations are implemented to transform governing partial differential equations into coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations by similarity transformation. The mathematical model is converted to ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using suitable similarity transformation. The bvp4c function in MATLAB is used to solve boundary value problems (BVPs) for systems of ODEs. It is part of the MATLAB's BVP solver suite. The effects of the physical parameters on the dimensionless variables and quantities of physical interest are analyzed with figures. It is demonstrated that ternary-hybrid nanofluids provide the highest heat transfer rate at the cost of skin friction and offer the lowest Bejan number and entropy generation rates. They also reduce mass and microorganism transfer rates. Furthermore, magnetic field, local inertia, Eckert number, and thermal slip reduce the Bejan number by promoting more efficient heat transfer.
Open Educational Resources and the Teaching of Public International Law: A German Lens on a Global Matter
Authors: Milas Max
Published: July 2024

This article explores the potential of Open Educational Resources (OER) as a means to mitigate the prevailing patterns of exclusion in the teaching of public international law. Furthermore, it suggests concrete solutions to overcome some of the existing challenges OER face. The article does so based on a non-representative survey conducted among German law students regarding access to teaching materials. The survey yields four key results: Firstly, a majority of students still prefer conventional, non-Open-Access teaching materials for reasons of quantity and quality. Secondly, the survey confirms that most, especially female, students lack access to teaching materials for financial reasons. Thirdly, findings suggest that enhancing the acceptance of OER among students depends on improving their quality, accessibility, and variety. Finally, female students emphasise the importance of inclusive language and non-prejudiced examples in educational resources.
ANALYSIS OF METHODS OF ETHANE PIPELINE TRANSPORTATION
Authors: Kitaev S.V. , Molchanova R.A. , Melnikov D.I.
Published: July 2024

The products of hydrocarbon light fractions processing are becoming of great demand. An important component of natural gas is ethane used for high-tech products at gas chemical complexes. Ethane production in situ is a promising direction, with its subsequent transportation to gas and chemical plants. The most economical type of transport is pipeline transportation, providing the construction of a pipeline system including facilities and a linear part. Ethane is a gas that can be transported along isothermal pipelines in both liquid and gaseous states. At the same time, the question of choosing the most rational variant is relevant. The article analyzes possible methods of transporting ethane and ethane fractions along pipelines, consideres variants for pumping gas in a liquid and gaseous states, taking into account the component composition of the product at a specified productivity and initial thermal parameters to summarize recommendations when choosing the most rational method of product transportation. A method is presented for the analytical representation of the dependences of pressure, elasticity, density and viscosity on temperature for the convenient determination of physical properties of multicomponent ethane fractions. The methodological foundations of the thermal and hydraulic analysis of variants for ethane transportation in two phase states – in liquid and gaseous – with the energy efficiency assessment of gas pumping are presented. It is shown that when transporting ethane in a gaseous state, the metal consumption for the pipeline increases twice as compared with the pipeline for transporting the product in a liquid state, while energy consumption also doubles.

The use of series compensation devices leads to an increase of the transmission line capacity. However, it also increases the risk of an oscillatory violation of the stability of the electric power system. Cumulative hunting and self-excitation of the system is observed in the systems with controlled series compensation devices with a high degree of capacitive compensation. It is known that automatic excitation control of generators partially eliminates the negative effect of series capacitive compensation on oscillatory stability. Therefore, when choosing the tuning parameters of controlled devices, it is necessary to consider their combined effect on the system modes. The developed methods to study steady-state stability make it possible to analyze the modes of power systems with controlled power transmission of various voltage levels. Thus, it is advisable to conduct a comparative analysis of the influence of the adjustable parameters of the series compensation device on the steady-state stability of systems of various voltage levels, considering synchronous generators automatic excitation control. Methods of mathematical modeling of the electric power system, the theory of long-distance power lines and electromechanical transients, methods of analyzing the stability of electric power systems are used. The original software in the C ++ programming language has been used as a modeling tool. The choice of controlled series compensation device and the automatic excitation control regulation laws parameters is made, provided that steady-state stability is maintained. The stability regions of the studied electric power-engineering system are constructed depending on the tuning parameters of the considered devices of various voltage levels. A comparative analysis of the characteristics of the modes of high and extra-high voltage lines has been carried out. The regulation coefficients values of controlled series compensation device and automatic excitation of generators have been determined, under which there is no violation of oscillatory stability for different voltage levels. The conducted comparative analysis of the characteristics of high and extra-high voltage power lines demonstrates the need to consider the power transmission rated voltage when comprehensively selecting the tuning parameters of the controlled series compensation device and the automatic excitation control regulator.

Dialogue on the occasion of Pushkin’s anniversary: Bishop Anthony (Khrapovitsky) and T. I. Philippov (1899)
Authors: Fetisenko О.L. ,   Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkinskij Dom) Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: July 2024

The article is devoted to a brief epistolary dialogue, the occasion for which was the Pushkin anniversary (1899). Among the many responses to this cultural event contemporaries appreciated the speech of Bishop (later Metropolitan) Anthony (Khrapovitsky), which he delivered at Kazan University. The ceremonial speech became one of his first detailed statements about Russian literature and subsequently served as a pretext for a special article about the poet. In June 1899, Bishop Anthony presented a separate edition of his speech to the prominent statesman and public figure Tertius Philippov (1825/1826–1899). The author of the article clarifies the circumstances that accompanied this gesture of donation and publishes the bishop’s covering letter and Philippov’s response. In addition to the high assessment of the work read, the response letter of the state controller expressed in a concise form a judgment about the spiritual significance of Russian literature. This brief description hiddenly contains the ideas of another writer, equally close to both participants in the dialogue – Dostoevsky. The researcher also notes other points that bring the heroes of the article together. In particular, this is a negative attitude towards the synodal structure of church government.

Published: July 2024

Global social transformations affected people are taking place in the modern world. This influence can negatively affect representatives of the younger generation – students who do not have personal and social maturity and are in the process of professional development. The problem of the study is to identify the resources for psychological safety of students in a tense sociocultural environment. The article presents a review of scientific works from 2019 to 2023 using the electronic bibliographic databases RSCI and Scopus. More than 70 scientific articles with the results of theoretical and empirical studies of the problem of human psychological safety resources in a tense sociocultural environment were analyzed. The studies involved civilians living in territories with special conditions, including territories of military conflicts: teenagers, adults, students. Based on the results of a systematic review, a theoretical model is proposed. It includes external and internal resources for the psychological safety of students in a tense sociocultural environment. The features of students' socialization and the resources of the educational environment are identified as key external resources. Internal ones include cognitive regulation of emotions, constructive defense mechanisms, prosocial values and social intelligence, which act as the main resources for overcoming traumatic experiences, influencing subjective well-being and ensuring the psychological safety of students. The proposed theoretical model can serve as the basis for the development of psychological support programs for students. Research prospects can be presented in the context of empirical verification of the theoretical model.

Published: July 2024

This paper addresses the challenges and opportunities of applying sustainablemarketing in higher education institutions (HEI), focusing on the performance ofthe higher education institution in achieving multiple goals from the perspective ofstakeholders. Although the existing academic literature, contains a wide range ofresearch on sustainability, it is mainly focused on the for-profit sector. A lack ofresearch examining sustainable marketing in the public sector, especially in thefield of higher education, has been noted. An analysis of the existing scientificliterature was carried out and the barriers to wider adoption of sustainablemarketing in the academic environment are identified. Quantitative research wasconducted to test the proposed conceptual model defined by the multidimensionalconstruct of sustainable marketing and its impact on the success of a highereducation institution. The research results showed a positive relationship betweensustainable marketing and higher education institution performance. The benefitsof implementing sustainable marketing can be seen in creating positive changesthat we as a society want to experience, in the rational use of resources, and increating added value while considering the long-term interests of society and theenvironment. The research findings can contribute to a better understanding of the role of sustainable marketing in higher education and provide guidelines for itsbroader application to create a more sustainable and socially responsibleacademic environment.

Authors: Visconti Gloria , Ramírez Gmelina , Braly-Cartillier Isabelle
Published: July 2024

Meeting the climate change challenge requires the climate funds and multilateral development banks like the IDB to work synergistically, building on the comparative advantages of each. The IDB Group and other multilateral development banks are key partners, materially leveraging climate fund financing (5x leverage factor in the case of the IDB) and delivering measurable impact. To speed progress, this note presents a set of recommendations for enhancing access to the concessional finance that these funds can provide. These recommendations are mainly focused on streamlining climate funds approval processes, further developing their product offer, and enhancing their coordination and complementarity.This note was prepared by the IDB as an input to the work of the G20s Sustainable Finance Working Group on enhancing access to concessional climate finance. Stemming from the IDBs own experience working in Latin America and the Caribbean with some of the major global concessional climate funds, it intends to provide its perspectives and lessons learned on aspects affecting access to funding from the Climate Investment Funds, the Global Environment Facility and and the Green Climate Fund.

Published: July 2024

O distanciamento social e a quarentena, medidas restritivas de saúde pública para conter a pandemia da COVID-19, têm impactado os sistemas educacionais. A realização de aulas remotas tem causado muitas discussões entre educadores, especialmente acerca do uso de Tecnologias Digitais de Informação e Comunicação (TDIC). Objetiva-se conhecer o processo de integração de TDIC por docentes do ensino superior durante a pandemia da COVID-19 e discutir desafios e possibilidades percebidas frente à necessidade do ensino remoto. Estudo transversal, de abordagem exploratório-descritiva. Dos 48 docentes que participaram do estudo, 29 (60,4%) relataram ter conhecimento prévio sobre as TDIC. A utilização de ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem e das salas de aula on-line intensificou-se significativamente após o início da pandemia. As principais dificuldades percebidas são a falta de motivação, de internet compatível e de conhecimento. Ainda percebe-se a ausência de políticas públicas e institucionais que abarquem as necessidades para uma completa e eficiente integração de TDIC no ensino superior.

Os Fóruns de Discussão na Educação a Distância: Estudo de Caso num Curso de Especialização
Authors: Pires Ricardo Matheus , Veloso Braian Garrito
Published: July 2024

Este trabalho dedicou-se a entender o uso e a percepção dos alunos de um curso de especialização participantes dos fóruns, identificando o grau e a relevância da atuação dos professores e tutores nesses ambientes a fim de descrever o grau de interação dos estudantes e o tipo de respostas que eram postadas. Os dados foram obtidos com um questionário oferecido a todos os estudantes do curso; e a análise de conteúdo de todos os fóruns que um aluno (o primeiro autor) teve acesso durante sua trajetória pelo curso. Os critérios de análise dos conteúdos foram divididos em três eixos: Grau de interação entre os alunos nos fóruns, tipo de resposta do aluno e a qualidade da resposta/interação. Os dados indicam que os alunos se motivam mais quando os enunciados dos fóruns incitavam trocas de experiências e indicações de técnicas em detrimento de discussões mais epistemológicas. Porém, a maioria dos fóruns solicitava respostas de cunho mais conteudista. Apesar de nenhum aluno sugerir a exclusão dos fóruns no curso, a satisfação com a obrigatoriedade em se responder não foi unânime, indicando que a troca por notas ainda é um paradigma na educação, mesmo online. A maioria dos fóruns analisados mostrou interação com envolvimento dos alunos e as respostas foram argumentativas e de concordância, com menor índice de respostas de questionamento e discordância, indicando que os professores podem modular melhor os enunciados, caso queiram trabalhar outras habilidades. Com isso, os fóruns mostram-se como importantes ferramentas dentro da Educação a Distância, com possibilidades diversas para se criar um ambiente de aprendizagem coletivo significativo, mas o docente é central nesse processo, tendo que participar ativamente das discussões e modular o tipo de resposta que ele quer receber do estudante.

Nobility, Interrupted: The Queer Poetics of Vandana Kataria’s Noblemen
Authors: Rush Kara
Published: July 2024

This paper explores the role of noble kinship in Noblemen, Vandana Kataria’s adaptation of The Merchant of Venice. Noblemen is a 2019 Indian independent film written during the apex of gay decriminalization discourse in India. While Bollywood adaptations of Shakespeare have been well studied, independent films such as Noblemen that “speak back” to mainstream regimes of cinema and culture demand more attention. The film transforms the Christian Venetian setting of Shakespeare’s play to that of an all-boys boarding school in India dubbed “Mount Noble High.” I argue that the film depicts male dominated kinship networks that oppress queer difference to emphasize how mainstream kinship perpetuates and reinforces an oppressive and monolithic “imagined community.” Kataria transplants the oppressive kinship apparent in The Merchant of Venice to Noblemen’s Noble High to emphasize how kinship networks’ discrimination, particularly homophobia, results in an imagined community bonded by corrupt nobility and erasure of marginalized identity. Such kinship networks force Shay, Kataria’s Shylock, to renounce his queer identity and convert to a position of subordination. Shay is only able to escape this subordination and exact revenge against the bullies by enacting the lawful role of Portia. This victory, however, fails to restore his nobility as it further ingratiates him in societal structures that reinforce oppression and heteronormativity. By showing how mainstream noble kinship is built upon a foundation of oppression rather than virtue, Kataria encourages audiences to question the virtue of laws, societal practices, and Bollywood films that reinforce imagined community by marginalizing queerness.
Yassified Shakespeare
Authors: Boffone Trevor , Rosvally Danielle
Published: July 2024

This essay theorizes the concept of “Yassified Shakespeare.” To “yassify” something is to “glamify” it — generally by running it through multiple digital filters and simultaneously making it queerer in the process. Yassification is about excess: the more ridiculous the yassification, the funnier and more effective it is. Accordingly, yassified Shakespeare is a genre of Millennial and post-Millennial appropriation of Shakespeare’s name, persona, and/or work that queers itself in the process of adaptation and remixes Shakespeare’s cultural capital with a sexy, genre-specific, hyper-contemporary aesthetic. This essay considers how yassified Shakespeare materializes in the musicals Something Rotten! and & Juliet, in RuPaul’s Drag Race, at Renaissance Faires, and on TikTok.
The principle of infinitism and the principle of simplicity: confrontation and complementarity
Authors: Finogentov Valery N. ,   N.V. Parakhin Orel State Agrarian University
Published: July 2024

The article analyzes the relationship between the principle of infinitism, which asserts the manifold infinity (inexhaustibility) of the universe, and the principle of simplicity, which proclaims that the universe is in some sense simple or, at least, amenable to a fairly simple description and explanation. The article shows that the ontological interpretation of the principle of simplicity, that is, the assumption that reality (the universe) is simple in one sense or another, is diametrically opposed to the principle of infinitism. It is also shown that the epistemological interpretation of the principle of simplicity consists in the assumption that a scientifically (philosophically) cognizable fragment of the universe, despite its infinite complexity, can be more or less adequately described and explained using relatively simple theoretical models. Finally, it is demonstrated that the principle of simplicity in its epistemological interpretation is ubiquitous in special scientific and philosophical cognition and is the basis of an effective cognitive strategy. Such a strategy is implemented primarily through the procedures of reduction and abstraction, the essence of which is to transform a cognizable, infinitely complex fragment of the universe into a relatively simple subject of special scientific or philosophical cognition.
Mathematical understanding (hermeneutic aspects of educational activities)
Authors: Penkov Victor E. ,   Belgorod State National Research University
Published: July 2024

The article discusses the issues of mathematical understanding as an educational practice of identifying the algorithmic meanings of mathematical (mathematized) educational texts. The hermeneutic orientation towards following the “guiding thread of language” (G.-G. Gadamer), as it is shown, cannot be narrowed to the attitude towards natural languages inherent in humanitarian educational practices. The “common place” of mathematical understanding in educational practices is: some of created languages (of scientific communication) being consolidated around the mathematical installation are not reducible to its sign universality or educational generalizations. But it often turns out to be outside the field of view of practicing teachers, in a didactically abstract position. The article substantiates the possibility of rehabilitating the hermeneutic attitude in mathematical education in connection with its development and strengthening in understanding the prerequisites for the algorithmic solution of mathematical problems (the need for additional information, non-standard solution techniques, transfer of educational goal setting to the area of interdisciplinary relationships or life experience, etc.). The author shows and comments on the effectiveness of the hermeneutic approach in mathematics education using examples of solving problems in algebra, geometry and in constructing mathematical models of various physical processes.

Background: Fetal growth restriction is a common complication of pregnancy that has been associated with a variety of adverse perinatal outcomes. The condition carries significant risks of neonatal mortality, major and minor morbidity, and long term health sequelae. The aim of the study: The aim of the study was to study the associations of matrix metalloproteinases gene polymorphism with newborn weight in pregnant women with fetal growth restriction and to evaluate their functional effects. Materials and methods: 98 cases of women with fetal growth restriction were selected as the experimental group. All pregnant women were performed genotyping of 5 SNPs of genes of matrix metalloproteinase (rs1799750 MMP-1, rs243865 MMP-2, rs3025058 MMP-3, rs11568818 MMP-7, rs17577 MMP-9). Results: We found associations of the rs11568818 polymorphism of the MMP-7 gene with newborn weight in women with fetal growth restriction within a recessive model (β = 0.32±0.13, p=0.016 pperm=0.022). This polymorphic locus possesses important functional effects. It is localized in an evolutionarily conserved region, a binding site for regulatory proteins (TBP, CFOS, CJUN), a region of DNase hypersensitivity, and a site of modified histones marking enhancers and promoters in mesenchymal and hematopoietic stem cells, osteoblast cells, adipocytes, and fibroblast cell line lungs, various parts of the brain, lungs, etc., determines the sensitivity of DNA to four transcription factors (Foxa, GR, PLZF, Pou5f1), is associated with the level of mRNA expression of the MMP-7 gene in the lungs, liver, and skeletal muscles. Conclusion: The rs11568818 polymorphism of the MMP-7 gene is associated with a newborn weight.

Inhalation solution for nebulizer – Renerium; 2. intranasal spray) was carried out on 6 groups of volunteers in compliance with human rights and the principles of conducting medical research involving a person as a subject, declared on the 18th General Assembly of the World Medical Association (Helsinki, Finland), voluntary informed consent, approved by the local ethical committee. Results: Mineral preparation for inhalation therapy of patients with acute respiratory diseases does not show acute toxicity in preclinical studies on laboratory animals. The mechanism of action of the drug is most likely associated with the regulation of redox reactions at the level of the cell membrane, mitochondria and cell nucleus, which is manifested by anti-inflammatory and regenerative activity in the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract and alveolar apparatus. Both forms of the drug are well tolerated. A pronounced clinical efficacy of the drug Renerium in the form of inhalation through a compressor inhaler was noted in the case of a 5-day course of treatment, 5 ml once a day. Conclusion: Experimental and clinical data have demonstrated pronounced anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties of a new mineral complex based on cerium (III), the mechanism of which is due to the regulation of redox reactions.
Digital identity as a condition of human existence in a digital society
Authors: Kraynov Andrey L. ,   Saratov State University of Genetics, Biotechnology and Engineering named after N. I. Vavilov
Published: July 2024

Introduction. The article is devoted to the problem of digital identity. The development of the information society and digitalization processes poses to each Internet user the challenge of matching the digital profile to its real owner. There is often a big difference between a real person and his digital avatars, which leads not only to confusion and ambiguous perception of the narrator and the author by the other, but also to depersonalization of the author. Theoretical analysis. Having a digital identity allows you to successfully self-realize in the virtual space and in the real world, be it finding a job or finding a life partner. However, the development of artificial intelligence and neural networks makes it possible to create many fakes, impersonate one narrator for another, and replace the image of the author. On the other hand, the author’s desire to create a different virtual image for himself due to a number of complexes or intrigues can lead to a split personality. Conclusion. Modern digitalization processes lead to the awareness of the need for digital identity. The formation of digital identity can take place both in an authoritarian way and in a softer educational way. In any case, its presence will give the user of the digital environment undeniable advantages in personal and professional activities.
The will to power in ethnogenesis: Nietzschean motives of Eurasian anthropology
Authors: Faritov Vyacheslav T. ,   Samara State Technical University
Published: July 2024

Introduction.The article carries out a philosophical reconstruction of Eurasian anthropology based on the analysis of the theory of ethnogenesis by L. N. Gumilyov. In the conceptual developments of the classicist of Eurasianism, the motives of Nietzschean anthropology are explicated, which makes it possible to fit the Eurasian concept of man into the context of post-metaphysical philosophy. Theoretical analysis. The application of methodological principles and guidelines of philosophical comparative analysis allows us to reveal parallels between the basic concepts of the theory of ethnogenesis and the basic concepts of Nietzschean anthropology (the will to power, overman, eternal return). Conclusion. A comparative analysis allows us to conclude that the key point of both Nietzschean anthropology and the anthropological teachings of L. N. Gumilev advocates transgression, understood by the author as an ontological horizon opposite to transcendence. The article substantiates the thesis that the constitutive moment of understanding a person in the teachings of F. Nietzsche and the theory of L. N. Gumilev is the rejection of transcendence and the affirmation of the purely transgressive nature of human existence. The rethinking of the nature of the connection between Nietzschean anthropology and the heritage of antiquity is also carried out. It is concluded that Nietzsche’s appeal to antiquity was provoked by the situation of crisis in European metaphysics and Western Christianity. The thesis is substantiated that the crisis of metaphysical philosophy is at the same time the main motive for the Eurasians to turn to the East as a fundamentally non-European horizon of philosophical thought.
Two Central Meanings of Subjectivity and Their Application in the Political Context of Modern Ukraine
Authors: Boiko Yurii
Published: July 2024

This paper examines the fundamental meanings of the concepts of “subject” and “subjectivity” in Western political philosophy, aiming to place them within the context of modern Ukraine. The discourses on Ukraine-as-a-subject are examined in relation to the two contradictory senses of subjectivity: (a) autonomous, selfpossessing, and (b) dependent, belonging subject. As the idea of an autonomous subject in Western political thought is closely related to colonial ideology and practice, this concept should be replaced with the notion of the historical, dependent subject, which is shaped by the political regime it belongs to. Consequently, the paper argues that the sense of a belonging subject (b) better reflects the actual practices of subjection, because it captures the factor of belonging to the community and presupposes the ethical, normative impact of the political collective on its subjects. Aristotle’s first systematic use of the word subject (to hupokeimenon) is based on the verb “to belong” (hupokeimai), from which the Latin civis (citizen) is also derived. Accordingly, the true ‘autonomy’ of the subject lies in the ability to choose one’s ‘belonging’ and to participate in a political community that reinterprets and changes one’s own intellectual tradition. In this case, the historicity of the subject does not mean a fateful and singular History, but rather a multiplicity of stories that give meaning and value to their subjects. The only way to partake in the act of subjectivation is through self-regulated education, which molds the social subject within the community. In the case of Ukraine, this primarily means that political power should be locally generated through civil institutions and groups that play a normative role in society. Only when education and political organization become a res publica can subjectivation be a liberating practice, as envisioned by the theorists of the Enlightenment.
Idea of Man by Max Sheler and Modern World
Authors: Kebuladze Vakhtang
Published: July 2024

The paper is dedicated to the critical reconstruction of the project of philosophical anthropology drafted by German philosopher Max Sheler at the beginning of XX century in his article “On the Idea of Man” (“Zur Idee des Menschen”). The author tries also to show the contemporary relevance of the main notions and ideas of the anthropological conception which is drafted in this article. From the very title of the article, it becomes clear that Max Sheler based his philosophical anthropology on the phenomenological methodology. According to this methodological approach, we should grasp the idea of man in the act of ideation, which is a result of phenomenological reduction. In accordance to the phenomenological critique of the psychologism, Sheler shows that we cannot find the peculiar idea of man in the natural reality, since from this point of view a man is just an animal among other animals. Being human means overcoming yourself every movement of your existence. The “self-transcendence” is the main feature of the human being. One of the main instrument of the self-transcendence is a human language that gives world a chance to articulate itself. The human self-transcendence can lead to development and creation, but at the same time, it can lead to degradation and destruction. In the modern world, we can find many examples of the both processes.

This study aims to examine the Brand Experience (B-Experience) and Brand Attitude (B-Attitude) effect on Repurchase Intention (Repurchase-Int) with Brand Equity (B-Equity) as a mediating variable. The population was all users of Apple iPhone products in Banda Aceh City. Determination of the number of samples for Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis using the formula 10 times the number of indicator variables totaling 22 indicators used which amounted to 220 samples. The results showed B-Experience and B-Attitude have a direct effect on B-Equity; B-Experience, B-Attitude, and B-Equity have a direct effect on Repurchase-Int; and B-Equity partially mediates the effect of B-Experience and B-Attitude on Repurchase-Int. These findings all explain that the model tested in this research is accepted, meaning that everything is following research expectations and becomes the premise for future research that wants to develop a theory related to the variables in the model.
