The relationship between chemical microheterogeneity of gray cast iron castings, revealed by the method of color etching in sodium picrate, and the structure of flake graphite was studied. The results of microstructural studies indicate that the crystallization of gray cast iron is accompanied by the emergence of several levels of chemical and structural microheterogeneities of the crystallizing melt, affecting the formation of graphite. Microstructural features indicate that the cast iron melt, which is close in carbon content to the eutectic composition, acquires a dendritic and cellular structure before the formation of graphite. The intensity of chemical microheterogeneity and its topology are hereditarily related to the location, size and shape of graphite inclusions. Flake graphite formed inside and on the periphery of melt cells has different structure and thickness of plates. The enrichment of areas of cast iron melt with silicon leads to the formation of dendrites of primary austenite and primary graphite of the largest size in them. The microhardness of ferrite in the dendrites of former primary austenite is approximately 1.5 times greater than the microhardness of ferrite in areas adjacent to inclusions of primary graphite. A close inverse correlation (r = –0.93) was established between the microhardness of ferrite in areas with different liquation intensities and the thickness of graphite flakes located in these areas.

The greatest spread of microhardness values and width of graphite flakes is observed in the most liquated areas enriched with silicon in the center of the cells, corresponding to the location of eutectic colonies.

In the spaces between the cells, graphite is observed with the smallest thickness of the flakes, which are located at the smallest distance from each other.

It is necessary to continue research into the hereditary influence of the structure and physical and chemical properties of high-carbon iron melts on the mechanism of graphite formation and the features of its structure in cast irons.

In this work, the formation of a self-reinforced HEA–WC powder material during the mechanical alloying (MA) of a mixture of elemental powders of the W-Fe-Co-Ni system in a planetary ball mill in a gasoline environment was investigated.

X-ray diffraction (XRD), microstructural, and energy dispersive spectral (EDS) analysis revealed that after 20 hours of MA of the powders in a carbon-containing medium, a powder material based on a high-entropy alloy was formed. HEA based powder material contains two solid solutions with BCC and FCC crystal structure, as well as a carbide WC phase formed "in-situ" owing to the large negative value of the mixing enthalpy between carbon and tungsten. The “in-situ” formation of WC particles contributes to the enhancement of interfacial bonding with the metal matrix of the HEA. All phase components of the HEA–WC powder material are in the nanostructured state.

The particles of the powder material have a close to spherical shape and a bimodal particle size distribution. The powder material consists of fine particles with a size of 1–10 μm and their agglomerates with a size up to 100 μm. The microstructure of the particles consists of the main gray phase of the BCC solid solution, dark spaces of the FCC solid solution and fine WC particles with a size of 0.1 μm to 1 μm evenly distributed in the HEA matrix.

High-entropy alloys with the addition of carbon are promising in terms of practical application, because carbon, having a small atomic radius, dissolves as an interstitial element in the crystal lattice of the substitutional solid solutions of the HEA principal elements and, as a result, significantly affects their structure and phase composition, and, therefore, will contribute to the improvement of the mechanical properties of the self-reinforced powder material due to the effects of both solid-solution strengthening by interstitial atoms and the precipitation strengthening by the carbide phase particles.

Changes to the authority of the Financial Services Authority, namely Law Number 21 of 2011 concerning the Financial Services Authority by Law Number 4 of 2023 concerning the Development and Strengthening of the Financial Sector resulted in the existence of a single authority which directly resulted in impunity for the authority of the main organ in investigating crimes in the financial services sector. The purpose of this research is to identify the essence of the position of auxiliary state institutions in Indonesian statehood. This research uses the statute approach and conceptual approach. The results of this study show that the implementation of auxiliary state institutions in Indonesia is still not by the essence of its formation as a supporting institution.
 
Perubahan atas kewenangan Otoritas Jasa Keungan pada Undang-Undang Nomor 21 Tahun 2011 tentang Otoritas Jasa Keuangan oleh Undang-Undang Nomor 4 Tahun 2023 tentang Pengembangan dan Penguatan Sektor Keuangan mengakibatkan terdapatnya penunggalan kewenangan yang secara langsung berakibat pada impunitas kewenangan main organ dalam penyidikan terhadap kejahatan di sektor jasa keuangan. Tujuan penelitian ini tentu untuk mengidentifikasikan esensi kedudukan lembaga negara bantu pada kenegaraan Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan perundang-undangan (statute approach) dan pendekatan konseptual (conceptual approach). Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa pengimplementasian mengenai lembaga negara bantu di Indonesia masih belum sesuia dengan esensi pembentukannya sebagai lembaga penunjang.
Tinjauan Yuridis Undang-Undang Nomor 28 Tahun 2014 Tentang Hak Cipta Terhadap Pemblokiran Situs Streaming Film Ilegal
Authors: Muhammad Fachri , Permana Raditya , Habibaty Diana Mutia
Published: December 2024

This research uses normative research methods and library research through a statute approach. The statute approach refers to Law Number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright. Film is a creative work that is protected, therefore violating this by pirating films and distributing them over the internet is an illegal act. This can harm the creators or copyright holders, both in terms of moral rights and economic rights. Law enforcement against perpetrators of piracy who distribute films through illegal streaming sites can result in penalties such as imprisonment or fines if the creators or copyright holders file a lawsuit or report. On the other hand, if there are no prosecutions or reports regarding this violation, the government, based on Article 56, has the right to take preventive measures in the form of blocking. The reason the government implements blocking as a form of legal protection for copyright is outlined in Article 1, which states that copyright is the exclusive right of the creator that arises automatically based on the declarative principle once a creation is manifested in a tangible form. The research results indicate that Law Number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright has regulated violations committed by illegal movie streaming sites in the form of prevention through closure or access blocking. The government's role in preventing the circulation of pirated films through the blocking of illegal streaming sites is not enough, considering that these illegal streaming sites are still accessible to users.
 
Penelitian ini meggunakan metode penelitian normatif dan kepustakaan (library research) melalui pendekatan Perundang-undangan (statute approach), Pendekatan perundang-undangan mengacu kepada Undang-Undang Nomor 28 Tahun 2014 tentang Hak Cipta. Film merupakan karya cipta yang dilindungi oleh sebab itu pelanggaran dengan membajak film dan menyebarkannya melalui internet merupakan perbuatan yang dilarang, hal ini dapat merugikan pencipta atau pemengang hak cipta baik itu hak secara moral maupun hak ekonomi. Penegakan hukum bagi para pelaku pembajakan yang menyebarkan film melalui situs-situs streaming film ilegal dapat dikenakan sanksi berupa pidana atau denda apabila pihak dari pencipta atau pemengang hak cipta melakukan penuntun atau pelaporan. Sebaliknya jika tidak ada penuntutan atau pelaporan mengenai pelanggaran ini maka pemerintah bardasarkan pasal 56 berhak melakukan pencegahan berupa pemblokiran. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa Undang-Undang Nomor 28 Tahun 2014 tentang Hak Cipta telah mengatur tentang pelanggaran yang dilakukan oleh situs-situs streaming film ilegal dalam bentuk pencegahan berupa penutupan atau pemblokiran akses. Peran pemerintah dalam mencegah peredaran film bajakan melalui pemblokiran situs-situs streaming film ilegal ini belum cukup, melihat situs-situs streaming film ilegal masih dapat diakses oleh penggunanya.

In the univariate case ($d=1$), we get the orders of the respective approximation characteristics on the classes $B^r_{p, \theta}$ as well as on the Sobolev classes $W^r_{p, {\boldsymbol{\alpha}}}$ in the space $B_{\infty,1}$ in the case $1\leqslant p \leqslant \infty$.
Epicutan próbák fogászati tesztsorokkal a COVID–19-járvány előtt és alatt a Közép-Magyarország régióban
Authors: Baló-Banga J. Mátyás , Szoboszlai Istvánné , Vajda Adrienne
Published: December 2024

Bevezetés: A SARS-CoV-2-fertőzés és a leküzdésére bevezetett
többszöri védőoltások kampányai mélyreható változásokat okoztak egy adott
ország, ezen belül 1-1 szűkebb régió lakosságának egészségi állapotában,
valamint az immunrendszer működésében. Célkitűzés:
Vizsgálataink célja meglévő, folyamatosan regisztrált dentális
allergiavizsgálatok retrospektív elemzése volt a IV-es típusú in
vivo celluláris immunvizsgálatok egyik noninvazív módszerével, az
epicutan teszteléssel. Választ vártunk a pandémia kiváltotta hatások
tekintetében. Módszer: Összehasonlítottuk a
COVID–19-fertőzéshullám előtti 4 év és a pandémia 3 éve alatti időszakot
standard tesztsorokkal kapott nagyszámú eredmény alapján 2 közép-magyarországi
vizsgálóhelyen, Budapesten 45 (2020 előtti) és 45 (a 2020–2023. szeptember
közötti időszak) esetben. Fejér vármegye székhelyén 48 COVID–19 előtti és 55
COVID–19 utáni, ugyancsak az összes megvizsgált személy teszt pozitív
eredményeit elemeztük és hasonlítottuk össze Pearson-féle korrelációval.
Eredmények: Az észak-budapesti régióban városi kórházi
szakambulanciai adatainak (11 781 egyedi teszt) megoszlását vetettük össze a
nyugat-magyarországi magánorvosi laboratórium eredményeivel (14 716 egyedi
teszt). A férfi-nő arány mindkét centrumban 1 : 5 körüli volt. Eredményeink
szerint a speciális célcsoportokon belül a vizsgálatok azonos módszerével és 31
közel azonos allergén tesztelésével magasabb prevalenciaadatok nyerhetők, mint
az általános magyar környezeti epicutan tesztsorral, így ez a módszer
érzékenyebben követte a COVID–19-időszakban megjelenő változásokat. Eredményeink
mindkét helyen a pandémiával összefüggő többszörös szenzitizációfokozódást
mutattak, főként a fémallergiák vonatkozásában. Kisebb mértékben az akrilátokhoz
köthető szenzitizáció hasonló eredményeket adott. Megbeszélés:
A két centrum közül a nyugat-magyarországihoz volt illeszthető a
COVID–19-fertőzés által előidézett nagyobb morbiditási és mortalitási adat.
Ezzel párhuzamosan itt szenzitizációfokozódást észleltünk a fertőtlenítőkben és
arcmaszkokban jelen lévő formaldehiddel, valamint az „immunerősítőkben”
kiterjedten használt Myroxylon pereirae illat- és ízanyaggal
(perubalzsammal). Következtetés: A pandémia hatására
szignifikánsan emelkedett a fogászati anyagokkal szembeni celluláris
hiperszenzitivitás és a többszörös pozitivitás aránya. Az általunk hozzáférhető
szakirodalomban a COVID–19-fertőzés és a dentális allergiák kapcsolatáról nem
találtunk közlést. Orv Hetil. 2024; 165(51): 2015–2025.

Bevezetés: A ChatGPT nagy nyelvi modell, amelyet az OpenAI
fejlesztett ki, és jelentős előrelépést hozott a természetes nyelvi feldolgozás
terén. A GPT-4.0 verzióval a modell képes emberi szintű beszélgetéseket
folytatni, ami különösen hasznos az oktatásban és a kutatásban. Az egészségügyi
oktatásban a hallgatók virtuális szituációkban gyakorolhatják a betegfelvételt,
valós idejű visszajelzést kapva. Emellett az oktatási anyagok személyre szabását
is lehetővé teszi, igazodva a hallgatók egyéni igényeihez.
Célkitűzés: A tanulmány célja, hogy bemutassuk a ChatGPT,
vagyis a mesterséges intelligencia alkalmazásának lehetőségeit az egészségügyi
oktatásban. A ChatGPT lehetővé teszi virtuális betegek és szimulációk
létrehozását, amelyek révén a hallgatók valósághű környezetben gyakorolhatják a
betegfelvételt és a kommunikációt a különböző nyelvű betegekkel.
Módszer: A ChatGPT-t használtuk arra, hogy különböző
szimulációkat hozzunk létre az egészségügyi oktatásban. A szimulációk során a
hallgatók valós időben kaptak visszajelzést, és a tananyagokat a hallgatók
egyéni igényeihez tudtuk igazítani. A ChatGPT segítségével a hallgatók olyan
helyzetekben gyakoroltak, amelyekben különböző nyelvi kihívásokkal szembesültek.
A szimulációk során finomhangolással tettük valósághűbbé a mesterséges
intelligencia által adott válaszokat, valamint az empátiát is integráltuk a
rendszerbe. Eredmények: A kutatás során oktatási szimulációkat
sikerült létrehozni a ChatGPT-vel, amelyek javították a hallgatók készségeit és
növelték önbizalmukat. A hallgatók képesek voltak önállóan kitölteni ápolási
dokumentációkat anélkül, hogy valós betegekkel érintkeztek volna.
Megbeszélés: A ChatGPT használata az oktatásban jelentős
előnyöket kínál, különösen a betegágy melletti oktatásban. A virtuális
szimulációk lehetővé teszik a hallgatók számára, hogy biztonságos és kontrollált
környezetben gyakorolják készségeiket, ami növeli önbizalmukat és csökkenti a
szorongást. Az infokommunikációs eszközök használata megragadja a hallgatók
figyelmét és érdeklődését. Következtetés: A ChatGPT bevezetése
az egészségügyi oktatásba változatos gyakorlati szituációk előkészítését és
bemutatását teszi lehetővé, javítva a betegellátás minőségét. Jelenleg további
kutatásokat is végzünk, ilyen a ChatGPT logopédiai területen és betegedukációban
történő alkalmazásának lehetősége. Kiemelten fontos, hogy a képzésben
közreműködő rangidős oktatók, tanárok képesek legyenek kapcsolódni a már a
digitális világban élő fiatal generációhoz. Orv Hetil. 2024; 165(52):

Multilocularis prostata-cystadenoma és incidentális alacsony rizikójú adenocarcinoma együttes előfordulása fiatal férfi betegben
Authors: Czétány Péter , Bányai Dániel , Kuthi Levente , Semjén Dávid
Published: December 2024

Egy fiatal, 31 éves férfi betegnél vizelési panaszok hátterében kismedencei MRI
során 7,6 cm legnagyobb átmérőjű többrekeszes, cystosus térfoglalás került
felismerésre a kismedence jobb oldalán, amely a radiológus véleménye alapján
vesicula seminalis cystadenomának imponált. Tekintettel a panaszokra, illetve a
malignitás lehetőségére, a betegnél transperitonealis behatolásból a tumor
laparoszkópos resectióját végeztük. A szövettani vizsgálat prostata-cystadenomát
igazolt, illetve mellette egy apró fókuszban Gleason-grade 3 + 3-as
prostata-adenocarcinoma is felismerésre került. A beteg a műtétet követően
teljesen panaszmentessé vált, vizelettartási panasza nem jelentkezett, továbbá
erekcióval és ejakulációval kapcsolatos panaszt sem jelzett. A 3 hónappal később
készült kontroll-MRI recidívát nem igazolt, valamint PSA-értékei jelentős
regressziót mutattak. A beteg követése azóta is szorosan zajlik. A
prostata-cystadenoma extrém ritka benignus tumor, amelyet eddig kevesebb mint 50
esetben írtak le. Preoperatív diagnózisa a legtöbbször nehezített: az általa
okozott kompressziós, urogenitalis és gastrointestinalis jellegű tünetek a
legtöbbször nem specifikusak, az alapvizsgálatok (fizikális és
ultrahangvizsgálat, PSA) általában nem informatívak. Részletesebb információval
a magasabb rendű képalkotó vizsgálatok (CT, kismedencei MRI), esetleg
finomtű/’core’ biopszia által nyert citológiai/szövettani minta szolgálhat.
Kezelése elsőrendűen sebészi, amely az esetek döntő többségében különböző
modalitások (transurethralis endoszkópia, laparoszkópia, robotsebészet, nyitott
műtét) alkalmazásával végzett resectiót/excisiót jelent. Elsőrendű cél a
komplett eltávolítás, amelynek sikertelensége esetén a recidívaarány jelentős.
Az eddig közölt esetekben a prostata-cystadenoma indolens viselkedést mutat, az
elváltozáson belül azonban eddig egy esetben ’high-grade’ prostata
intraepithelialis neoplasia, illetve egy további esetben konvencionális
prostata-adenocarcinoma igazolódott. Az irodalom áttekintése alapján, legjobb
tudomásunk szerint, esetleírásunk a prostata-cystadenoma és -adenocarcinoma
együttes előfordulásának (kollíziós tumor) eddig dokumentált második esete. Orv

Authors: Syahid Achmad , Akbar Muhamd Khalid , Irvan Moh. , Moormann Peter Paul
Published: December 2024

This research aimed to investigates construct validity of Schadenfreude measurement instrument adapted for the Indonesian context. Schadenfreude, which is the feeling of satisfaction at another individual's misfortune, is explored through five dimensions, namely concern for justice, aggression, competition, arrogance, and envy. These dimensions guided the development of a 60-item instrument based on scale by Crysel and Webster (2018). Data were collected from 500 respondents in Pagutan Village, Mataram, Lombok, Indonesia, reflecting the social, cultural, and economic context. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and measurement invariance using M-plus were conducted to test construct validity. The result showed that 10 items were invalid, leaving a refined instrument of 50 valid items across the dimensions. This validated instrument provided a robust tool to measure Schadenfreude in Indonesian populations aged > 12, with applications in social, political, economic, and competitive contexts. In conclusion, the research showed the cultural relevance of Schadenfreude in understanding human emotions and social behavior.

Published: December 2024

Resilience is necessary for the prisoners who are subjected to legal sanctions in accordance with criminal cases committed. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the resilience of the prisoners living in a prison regarding social support and husnuzan. A quantitative correlational method was used to explore the relationship between social support, husnuzan, and resilience. The participants were Muslim male prisoners, aged 18 to 60 years, incarcerated for the first time at Correctional Institution “X” in Yogyakarta. A total of 206 participants were obtained using a purposive sampling method and data were collected through three psychological scales, namely resilience, social support, and husnuzan. The result showed that there was a positive relationship between social support & husnuzan and the resilience of the prisoners. This implies that the prisoners have high resilience when there is a positive thought about the future, as well as receive love and support from family and friends.

In conclusion, academic hardiness did not moderate the effect of task aversiveness on procrastination.
Time Based Speed Control of Vehicle Using Arduino
Authors: Chaudhari Laresh , Jadhav Omkar , Lokhande Siddhant
Published: December 2024

This project addresses the critical issue of auto-mobile safety, particularly in speed-restricted zones, where
reducing accidents is paramount to minimize loss of life and property. Recent surveys have highlighted a concerning
increase in accidents near speed restricted zones, often attributed to drivers hurrying to reach their destinations promptly.
Consequently, there is a pressing need to control vehicle speed effectively in such areas. To tackle this challenge, the
project proposes a practical, compact, and straightforward solution.
An automatic vehicle speed control system based on time, specifically utilizing the Arduino platform. The system
functions by incorporating a transmitter unit programmed with the designated speed limit and time, which wirelessly
transmits signals to a receiver installed in the vehicle. This receiver, equipped with a speed encoder sensor, automatically
adjusts the vehicle's speed based on the received signals, ensuring compliance with the prescribed speed limit.
By implementing this innovative technique, it is anticipated that accident rates in speed restricted zones will be
substantially reduced, thereby enhancing overall road safety and mitigating the risk of accidents caused by speeding
vehicles. Additionally, this system has the potential to address driver behavior issues and reduce nuisance caused by
reckless driving. Moving forward, there is scope for further enhancements and optimizations to improve the system's
effectiveness and applicability in various other speed-restricted areas, thereby contributing to a safer and more secure
transportation environment.
Building Trustworthy AI: Proactive Guardrails and Reactive Moderation for Scalable Governance
Authors: Gupta Shreyam Dutta
Published: December 2024

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies necessitates robust governance
frameworks to ensure safety, fairness, and compliance. This paper examines the complementary roles of proactive
guardrails and reactive moderation tools in achieving scalable and trustworthy AI governance. Proactive approaches
embed preemptive safeguards, such as threat modeling, AI observability, and adversarial testing, to mitigate
vulnerabilities before deployment. Reactive mechanisms, including content detection, intervention, and correction,
address emergent issues in real time, ensuring resilience against evolving threats. By integrating these methods into
hybrid frameworks, organizations can balance scalability with operational efficiency while maintaining ethical
integrity. This research highlights the critical role of fairness, accountability, and transparency in fostering trust and
compliance in AI systems. Through case studies and actionable recommendations, we demonstrate how modular
governance models reduce risks while enhancing performance. The findings underscore the importance of iterative and
adaptable strategies for navigating complex regulatory landscapes and advancing responsible AI innovation.

Competences of Librarians in Performing Different Roles in Citizen Science Projects
Authors: TAUTKEVICIENE G. , PRANCKUTE A.
Published: December 2024

Objective. The objective of this article is to explore the skills of librarians in academic and public libraries as they engage in diverse roles within citizen science. Methods. The method of this research was focus group discussions to determine the competences required by public and academic librarians for citizen science and the best ways to cultivate these skills. Results. The results of the group discussion revealed that libraries are primarily seen as facilitators of citizen science, focusing on organising communication and information sharing, delivering training and coordinating other related activities. Librarians require a range of skills, including organisational, communication, educational, public speaking / knowledge transfer, information and digital literacy, and analytical abilities along with more specific research skills. When initiating projects, librarians also need expertise in the relevant scientific field, project writing, team management, and financial literacy. Differences between academic and public librarians were noted, based on the specific activities they engage in and the communities they serve. Conclusions. Librarians are well positioned to serve as facilitators of citizen science by fostering community engagement, nurturing relationships and providing essential resources that support research and foster public participation. However, many librarians currently lack sufficient knowledge, understanding and motivation to engage in citizen science activities. Although librarians already possess many of the core competences needed for citizen science activities, these skills must be tailored specifically to citizen science contexts, continuously updated and supplemented with specialised competences that are not typically found in library settings. Librarians can acquire these skills by actively participating in citizen science projects and learning from experienced colleagues, as well as through training programmes or self-directed online learning.

Authors:   Ural Federal University, Zhuravleva Nadezhda V. , Kabinina Nadezhda V. ,   Ural Federal University
Published: December 2024

The article is the first in a planned series investigating anthroponyms of non-Slavic origin found in the Acts of the Solovetsky Monastery, a published source that vividly chronicles the history of the White Sea region in the 15th–16th centuries. The study focuses on the first volume, which contains 428 charters (1479–1571) and includes at least 80 anthroponyms of non-Slavic origin. This article examines a subset of 15 names from this corpus. The anthroponyms are analyzed within a broad etymological framework, incorporating proposed appellative parallels, motivational hypotheses, typological arguments, and the authors’ reflections on existing interpretations of specific names. The research methodology, informed by substantial prior work on the anthroponymy of the European North of Russia, is outlined in detail in the introduction. The findings reveal that most non-Slavic anthroponyms appear within “Russian-type” patronymics, combined with Orthodox calendar names or their derivatives (e.g., Kuzemka Fedorov Valuev, Vlasko Oshmuev, Semyon Ivanov Sulgopyaev’s son). This pattern highlights the significant Christianization and subsequent Russification of parts of the non-Slavic population in the White Sea region during this period. Nevertheless, the persistence of foreign-language anthroponymic systems is evident in certain individual names. The analysis of the origins of these anthroponyms indicates a strong prevalence of Balto-Finnic names, alongside occasional Turkic elements (*Baiguz and possibly Kudash) and rare examples of probably Sami origin (Chyukhcha and possibly *Nuzcha). Based on the ethnonymic landscape described in the introduction, most Balto-Finnic anthroponyms can be assumed to be of Karelian origin.
On the Enrichment of the Bulgarian Anthroponymicon: Borrowings, Word-Formation, and Name Creativity
Authors:   Institute for Slavic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Sedakova Irina A.
Published: December 2024

The Bulgarian anthroponymicon, as a multifaceted and dynamic system, is continually reshaped by both external and internal influences. This article draws on an extensive body of anthroponymic material sourced from archival and published records, as well as data collected by the author over recent decades in Bulgaria. The analysis identifies and describes several distinct strategies for the enrichment of the Bulgarian anthroponymicon. A substantial portion of the anthroponymic repertoire originates from appellatives, encompassing “astronomical,” “landscape,” “meteorological,” and “zoonymic” names. Particular focus is made on the decomposition of full names into multiple forms, each spawning new anthroponyms and diverse series of hypocoristics (e.g., Kostadin → Kosta, Dinko, etc.). The study also explores dialectal semantic and morphological variations in personal names. Phonetic processes influencing the transformation of proper names, such as devoicing, sonorization, epenthesis, prosthesis, apocope, syncope, and elision, are examined in detail. The primary suffixes used in the formation and modification of anthroponyms are identified, and their evolving productivity and significance over time are discussed. Processes of borrowing, translation, and adaptation of foreign proper names are traced, with an emphasis on their integration into the Bulgarian naming system. Notably, female anthroponyms are shown to significantly outnumber male ones in both variety and frequency. Neo-anthroponymization is analyzed in depth, highlighting its dual foundation: the creative approach of Bulgarians to naming and the regulated practices tied to ancestral name transmission. The study emphasizes the role of narratives in clarifying and refining the origins and morphology of proper names. The author concludes that while globalization exerts an increasing influence on the Bulgarian anthroponymic system, archaic naming processes continue to adapt to modern innovations, ensuring their persistence and relevance in the future.
The Image of Ekaterinburg through the Prism of Urbanonymic Discourse
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Golomidova Marina V. , Dmitrieva Anastasia V. ,   Ural Federal University
Published: December 2024

The article explores the potential of a discursive approach and the concept of urbanonymic discourse to analyze urban toponymy as a reflection of a city’s image and territorial identity. The authors employ a semiotic perspective, viewing urban space as a text. Within this framework, urbanonymic discourse is defined as a collection of iconic works or microtexts that integrate urban toponyms with their verbal and non-verbal contexts, connected both semantically and spatially. The study identifies two types of microtexts within urbanonymic discourse: monosemiotic and polysemiotic. Monosemiotic urbanonymic microtexts comprise clusters of urban toponyms linked by a common nominative theme. Polysemiotic urbanonymic microtexts, in contrast, are symbolic combinations of urbanonyms and non-verbal elements that are thematically and semantically interrelated. Special attention is given to the phenomenon of urbanonymic “echo,” regarded as a specific form of polysemiotic microtext. In Ekaterinburg’s urbanonymic discourse, key nominative themes include national and regional history, literature, sport, science and education, as well as the city’s distinctive economic activities. Spatial analysis shows that the city center predominantly features microtexts associated with themes of history, governance, business, art, and science, while microtexts reflecting industrial and transport themes are concentrated in specific districts and neighborhoods. The city’s toponymic “portrait” underscores a strong connection to historical roots, an interplay of different eras, and a unique fusion of industry and culture. Microtexts from various parts of Ekaterinburg also evoke allusions to lost landmarks and past urban landscapes. The authors argue that the discursive approach provides a valuable framework for the comprehensive analysis of urbanonyms in other cities. This approach offers deeper insights into territorial identity and holds practical significance for toponymic policy and place branding.
Personal Names Derived from Quranic Arabic Words: The Phenomenon of “Bad” Names among Siompu Islanders, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia
Authors:   Dayanu Ikhsanuddin University, Dunifa La
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the meanings of Arabic personal names (PNs) of the Quran words origin among Siompu islanders, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. It focuses on the phenomenon of “bad” names, i.e., names derived from Arabic words and wordgroups with negative meanings. The initial corpus of schoolchildren’s personal names (n = 2,662) was examined. Among 1,173 of the Arabic names, 324 (28%) were found to be “bad” names. Some “bad” names are one-word forms (e.g., Jahilun ‘The fool,’ Majnun ‘A madman,’ Khatiun ‘The sinner,’ etc.), while others are two-word formations (e.g., Jabaran Syaqiya ‘Arrogant and unblest,’ Qiratadan Khasirin ‘Despised and hated ape,’ Afakin Asim ‘A sinful liar,’ etc.). Some two-word “bad” names are phrasemes taken from a single Quranic verse, while others are combinations of words from different verses. This trend spread along with the Islamization of the island, the phenomenon being particularly interesting because such names are generally forbidden in Islam. In Siompu, however, giving “bad” names is not intentional as it is in some other cultures, but rather due to the name-givers’ inability to comprehend the meanings of the Arabic words, their lack of knowledge of religious norms, and their misunderstanding of the sacred text used as the source of names. The choice between one-word or two-word names is also based solely on the name-givers’ preferences; no underlying rationale was found during the research. The article provides statistical data and discusses the phenomenon of “bad” names in both regional and broader typological contexts.
Names for Weather Disasters in Australia
Authors:   Griffith University, Bromhead Helen
Published: December 2024

Despite the importance of weather disasters, the names that people give them have been little treated in scholarship, both from an Australian perspective and from that of other parts of the world. This article explores patterns in the naming of bushfires (wildfires), cyclones and floods in Australian English, such as Black Saturday bushfires, Cyclone Linda and 2011 Brisbane floods. Using semantically-enhanced discourse studies, the semantic elements of these such names are unpacked and contextualized. In the case of bushfires, three patterns of naming are deployed at different times during the events. These patterns rely on place names, both local and more widely known, and phrases conveying mourning, which mark the day or the season when the disaster occurred. Cyclones are given personal forenames, both those of men and women, and as such are subject to varieties of linguistic creativity used for people’s names, often with a gendered aspect. Names for floods are less original than those used for other event types yet a year, e.g. 2011, can stand in for a particular event, which evokes the local knowledge of the inhabitants of the place where the flood occurred. It is found that some of those names for weather disasters are used for warning at the time of the event, for coping with trauma, and for collective memories in the aftermath. The study ends with some prospects for the future of names for weather disasters in Australia, and these concluding remarks touch on possibilities for naming heatwaves.
A Fascinating Story about Yakut Oikonyms. Review of the book: Nikaeva, T. M. (Ed.). Slovar’ toponimov Respubliki Sakha (Yakutia): naselennye punkty, naslegi, ulusy, raiony [Dictionary of Toponyms of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia): Localities, Villages, Uluses, Districts]. Yakutsk: Alaas, 2024. 448 p.

Published: December 2024

The review examines The Dictionary of Toponyms of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), compiled by the staff of the Department of Russian Language at the M. K. Ammosov Northeastern Federal University, under the supervision of Tatyana Nikaeva. The dictionary includes 1,066 entries across 977 articles, covering 694 oikonyms, 338 village names, and 34 ulus names. Notably, 47% of the ulus and district names are derived from oikonyms, while the remaining 53% are formed on other bases. This distinction warranted the inclusion of a dedicated section analyzing and providing the etymologies of all ulus and district names. Some entries read like engaging narratives, recounting the history of settlements and their inhabitants. The authors have drawn on oral traditions, as well as excerpts from fiction and popular science works that reference Yakutia’s oikonyms. The region is home to representatives of 41 ethnic groups, of whom approximately 80% belong to Indigenous peoples: 47% of the population are Yakuts, 28% Russians, 3% Evenks, 1.5% Evens, 0.22% Dolgans, 0.15% Yukaghirs, and 0.07% Chukchi. The oikonyms included in the dictionary reflect the languages of these diverse groups. The dictionary articles provide insights into the topographical features of the region, the cultural and social life of the Yakuts and other local peoples, and the historical events that influenced the creation of specific oikonyms. This work represents a significant contribution to Russian onomastics and marks a step forward in the development of a comprehensive toponymic dictionary of Russia.

Álvaro Vieira Pinto e a tradição dialética
Authors: Turibio Thiago
Published: December 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é localizar o pensamento de Álvaro Vieira Pinto no interior da tradição dialética a partir da análise de categorias centrais àquele campo de reflexão, quais sejam: autorreflexividade, primazia do objeto, historicidade, contradição, trabalho e totalidade. Com esse fim, foram considerados, sobretudo, os dois volumes de sua obra lançada em 1960, Consciência e realidade nacional, embora o artigo também mobilize o debate sobre dialética feito em Ciência e existência, de 1967. Para o diálogo, foram convocados autores como Hegel, Marx e Adorno. Apesar de compartilhar vários pressupostos teóricos com outros autores dialéticos, o pensamento de Vieira Pinto (também influenciado pela fenomenologia) percorre um caminho bastante original, emprestando novos sentidos a categorias como revolução e totalidade. Ao final, ainda que de maneira breve e sob inspiração da tradição crítica brasileira, argumenta-se que a dialética nos vale hoje por ser uma tradição que não abdica da perspectiva da transformação radical da realidade.

Authors: Yolcu Faruk Selahattin , Ozan Mehmet Seyda
Published: December 2024

Dijital hükümet, bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerinin kamu yönetimi süreçlerine entegre edilmesi yoluyla kamu hizmetlerinin daha etkili, verimli ve vatandaş odaklı bir şekilde sunulmasını amaçlayan bir yönetim modelidir. Geleneksel uygulamalarının dijitalleştirilmesine dayanan bu yönetim modeli, kamu yönetiminde şeffaflık, hesap verebilirlik ve katılımcılığı güçlendirirken, kamu hizmetlerinin erişilebilirliğini ve sunum hızını da artırmaktadır. Dijital hükümet modeli, kamu yönetimi alanında sadece teknolojik bir dönüşümü değil aynı zamanda organizasyonel yapıların, süreçlerin ve hizmet sunum yöntemlerinin yeniden yapılandırılmasını gerektirmektedir. Bu bağlama odaklanan araştırmanın amacı, dijitalleşmenin kamu yönetiminde meydana getirdiği değişimleri ve dijital hükümet projelerinin sürdürülebilirliği açısından hangi unsurların ne derece etkili olduğunu stratejik yönetim perspektifinden değerlendirmektir. Stratejik yönetim ve dijital hükümet kavramlarına ilişkin literatürün incelenmesi ve Kocaeli Bölgesi’ndeki yerel yönetimlerde görev yapan üst düzey kamu idarecileri ile yapılacak yarı yapılandırılmış mülakatlar araştırmanın kapsam ve sınırlılığı olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu doğrultuda, örneklemden elde edilen veriler tematik analiz yöntemiyle değerlendirilmiş olup, yapılan kapsamlı analizler ve çıkarımlarla Türk kamu yönetimine ilişkin anlamlı bulgular ortaya konulmuştur. Bulgular, dijital hükümet projelerinin sürdürülebilirliğinde stratejik planlama, kaynak tahsisi, teknolojik altyapı, vatandaş katılımı, farkındalık ve sürekli eğitim gibi unsurların belirleyici bir rol oynadığını göstermiştir. Bu kapsamda araştırma, dijital hükümet projelerinin başarısında stratejik yönetimin gerekliliğine ışık tutmakta ve bu alanda yapılacak gelecek araştırmalar için teorik altyapının geliştirilmesine yönelik ipuçları sunmaktadır.
