CATEGORIES OF LIFE, DEATH, IMMORTALITY IN MILAN KUNDERA'S NOVEL "IMMORTALITY"
Authors:   Lobachevsky Nizhny Novgorod State University, YANINA P.E. , TOLKACHEVA I.V. ,   Lobachevsky Nizhny Novgorod State University
Published: March 2024

The article analyzes the philosophical categories «life», «death», «immortality»which form the basis of the ideological narrative plan in Milan Kundera’s novel «Immortality», as well as ways of their representation in the text. Using the paradox technique, M. Kundera changes the usual distribution of meanings associated with the concepts of «life» and «death»: life - being, good, death - non-existence, evil. M. Kundera deprives the antinomy of «life-death» of the usual confrontation, demonstrating by the example of his characters that life can contain death, and death can be a return to life. Such an idea of life and death is characteristic of traditional culture and is found in various religious paradigms (Christianity, Buddhism, etc.). In the novel «Immortality» there is a combination of the author’s view of philosophical categories and the approach characteristic of traditional culture, in which the semantic discourses of the concepts of «life», «death» and «immortality» constantly intersect. Traditional ideas about the nature of life and death are combined in the novel with a system ofparadoxes characteristic of the Kundera narrative, the purpose of which is to reveal contradictions within complex existential concepts and phenomena.

Authors:   Orel State University, KARYAKINA S.N. , BUBNOVA S.YU. ,   Orel State University
Published: March 2024

The article presents the results of an empirical study of the relationship between coping behavioral strategies and structural components of self-attitude of high school students and university students. It is found that the self-attitude of the individual acts as an internal condition for the implementation of coping behavioral strategies of young people. At the student age, the components of self-attitude and preferred coping behavioral strategies are more closely related than those of high school students. Because of this, students’ self-attitude determines the coping behavioral strategies used to a greater extent than at earlier age stages.

Published: March 2024

The article examines the impressionistic features of Jean Rhys’short stories through the example of “Hunger” included in the first collection of short stories by the writer. The features of short stories’ literary impressionism (fragmentation, sketchiness, tendency to plotlessness or displacement of events from external life to internal, details’ domination, use of stream of consciousness) are considered through a review of the aesthetic principles of the English writer and critic Ford Madox Ford, who had a direct influence on the Rhys’ development as a writer in the 1920s. In the process of research, the reason for the preference for a short story is revealed. Thus, being fragmentary, the story acts as a ‘scene’ and the main role is being played by impression, feeling, moment.
Hydrogen for Mobility: A Pathway to a Zero Carbon Transportation System
Authors: Abbott Marc
Published: March 2024

Eliminating hydrocarbon transportation must be a fundamental goal for society if we are to negate Climate Change and its consequences. No source of CO2 emissions comes close to that of hydrocarbon fueled internal combustion engines and if we are to transition to a zero-carbon energy system, a viable alternative to hydrocarbon fuels must be found. Lithium-Ion powered vehicles or EV’s present society with a paradox, they emit zero emissions however the life cycle of Lithium-Ion batteries is a source of environmental concern through mining, deforestation of carbon sinks, the immense electrification requirements for battery production, recycling, and recharging.
This communication proposes Hydrogen for Mobility as the future fuel for a pathway to a Zero Carbon Transportation System through utilizing both the existing internal combustion engine (ICE) and most existing transportation infrastructure, at the same time being cost effective, efficient and zero emitting. An overview of technologies will be discussed along with their Technology Readiness, benefits, and issues. This discussion expands on the concepts discussed in ‘Mobile Modular Hydrogen Power Generation – a Zero Carbon Energy System’. https://doi.org/10.5296/ijgs.v7i1.xxxx

Young People’s Preferences Regarding Classical Music and Gender: The Educational Context of a Study Carried out in Poland
Authors: Bonna Beata
Published: March 2024

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to diagnose young people’s preferences for classical music and to determine whether gender is related to them.

THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: In the study a problem was formulated in relation to women’s and men’s musical preferences for classical music. A diagnostic survey method and a questionnaire technique were used in the research.

THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: Although classical music is the subject of intensive educational efforts it is still on the margins of young people’s musical preferences. Among the determinants of these preferences is gender. However, this is a variable that is rarely included in research.

RESEARCH RESULTS: No relationship was found between gender and areas of preference to- wards classical music – attitudes towards listening to it, favourite composers and forms of musical activity. However, women more often listened to classical music. Besides, more women than men expressed the opinion that the development of interest in this music lays on school, family, the media and cultural institutions.

CONCLUSIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND APPLICABLE VALUE OF RESEARCH: Gender did not show a clear association with preferences for classical music. The results of the study may inspire further exploration in this area and provide a rationale for multidirectional activities to develop interests in this music.

An In-Memory Physics Environment as a World Model for Robot Motion Planning
Authors: Ipe Navin
Published: March 2024

Publication reference:
https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-16-1740-9_46

This paper investigates the utilization of a physics simulation
environment as the imagination of a robot, where it creates a replica of
the detected terrain in a physics simulation environment in its memory,
and “imagines” a simulated version of itself in that memory,
performing actions and navigation on the terrain. The physics of the
environment simulates the movement of robot parts and its interaction
with the objects in the environment and the terrain, thus avoiding the
need for explicitly programming many calculations.
Development of a Hip Abduction-Adduction Exoskeleton for Mediolateral Assistance
Authors: Nalam Varun , Alili Abbas , Fleming Aaron , Tu Xikai , Liu Ming , Huang He
Published: March 2024

Lower limb exoskeletons are gaining prevalence to augment mobility of
people with gait impairments. However, current exoskeletons using serial
elastic actuators do not have the torque and bandwidth capabilities to
assist in balance control in daily activities. Considering the critical
role of mediolateral stability in balance control of individuals
affected by neurological and age-related gait impairments, we propose an
abduction-adduction exoskeleton for mediolateral assistance. The
exoskeleton utilizes harmonic gear driven actuators with active torque
feedback to ensure high bandwidth and admittance control capabilities,
designed as an assistive device for enhanced balance. The exoskeleton is
developed to be able to provide assistance up to a bandwidth of 5 Hz at
the hip to individuals weighing up to 90 Kgs. Benchtop testing of the
exoskeleton showed closed loop velocity bandwidth of more than 5 Hz
while under loading with a user weighing 85 Kgs. Further, analysis of
admittance controller using both static and dynamic testing showed that
the developed controller can simulate stiffnesses up to 95 Nm/rad with
an R 2 of over 99%. Pilot human testing individuals showed that the
exoskeleton can modulate step width behavior of individuals while
ensuring compliance with the users, facilitating seamless human robot
interaction. The implication of the developed exoskeleton for balance
control in elderly and neurologically impaired populations, and future
avenues of research are discussed.

Published: March 2024

In the realm of Internet of Things (IoT) security, the Physical
Unclonable Function (PUF) emerges as a viable solution for generating
individualized secure keys. These keys play a vital role in
authentication, chip protection, and supply chain security, serving as
crucial safeguards for resource-constrained IoT devices. This work
introduces Boosted Configurable Ring Oscillator PUF (BC-PUF), an
area-efficient variant of CROPUF that suits resource-constrained IoT
devices. Additionally, BC-PUF employs an absorbent approach for the
intermediate responses to optimize the utilization of CMOS delay
configurations. Moreover, BC-PUF mitigates the risk of Machine Learning
(ML)-based modeling attacks. BC-PUF is a multi-bit response architecture
that has been developed, analyzed, and evaluated across 50 FPGAs, from
each dataset of 10K Challenge-Response Pairs (CRPs) is extracted.
Experimental results report average values of 50.2%, 40.4%, 42%,
3.925%, and 83% for uniformity, diffuseness, uniqueness, reliability,
and Shannon entropy, respectively. In comparison to state-of-the-art
designs, the BC-PUF design achieves area reductions ranging from 15% to
96.7% across various architectures and implementations, along with a
power reduction of 9.7%. Moreover, BC-PUF demonstrates resilience
against ML-based attacks, achieving a prediction accuracy of 51%.
Driving Support Technology with Human Emotion Regulation: A Review
Authors: Shen Alan
Published: March 2024

Driver emotions play an important role in driving behaviour. Understanding how human emotions affect driving behavior is essential to enhance modern driver support systems, which aim at adjusting the mental and emotional states of a driver in order to improve road safety. In this paper, we first discuss the latest work on how to enhance driver emotions and how to improve driving habits with human emotion regulation, through the analysis of facial expressions, emotions, and driving behaviours of the subjects during different driving situations. Then, we study various driving support systems, and look at current findings and into potential applications of artificial intelligence for road safety via driver emotion regulation. Finally, further research directions are identified, and conclusions are drawn.
Hybrid Channel Tracking for THz Massive MIMO Communication Systems in Dynamic Environments
Authors: Fan Yuheng , Yang Chuang , Sun Yanran , Peng Mugen
Published: March 2024

With gigahertz-level bandwidth, terahertz (THz) holds promise for
achieving exceptionally high transmission rates in prospective
sixth-generation (6G) communications. However, considerable loss poses
an obstacle to THz communication. To compensate for this, massive
multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) based beamforming is utilized to
promote directional power with narrow beams in communication. In dynamic
environments, the frequent adjustment of narrow beams results in fast
time-varying channel state information (CSI), which constrains the
application of the THz communication systems. While traditional
deterministic-based and statistical-based channel tracking methods
address different aspects of this issue, they suffer from balancing
accuracy and complexity in the THz dynamic environments. To solve this
problem, based on the cluster distribution of THz time-varying channel,
we propose a novel hybrid channel tracking method that uses
deterministic physical motion variation law to extract the cluster
subspace, and then statistical Markov evolution models are applied
within it. To achieve this, an integrated clustering and estimation
method, clustering subspace matching pursuit (CSMP) is proposed for
obtaining the channel clusters prior. Then based on above hybrid
tracking method design, we propose a virtual cluster subspace
turbo-approximate message passing (VCS-TAMP). Finally, several
simulation results validate that our proposal achieves great improvement
in both accuracy and computational time performance.
AI Embodiment Through 6G: Shaping the Future of AGI
Authors: Bariah Lina , Debbah Merouane
Published: March 2024

In the ever-evolving field of technologies, the emergence of Artificial
General Intelligence (AGI), often referred as strong artificial
intelligence (AI), stands as a breakthrough in the realm of machines
intelligence, promising to witness a new era of capabilities and
possibilities. In particular, AGI ventures into human-level cognition,
and expands to thinking, reasoning, and awareness. This imminent
evolution is envisioned to be manifested through the embodiment of AI
machines, allowing machines to transcend their purely computational
nature and interact with the world through the different senses.
Accordingly, AI agents will be grounded in the physical environment,
going through subjective experiences and acquiring the needed knowledge
that will lead to understanding and cognition. In our article, we
explore the path towards realizing the true vision of AGI through AI
embodiment, where we dig into the different types of thinking required
to achieve knowledge, and hence, cognition and understanding.
Furthermore, we look through the evolution of generative AI models, and
shed lights on the limitations of auto-regression in large language
models (LLMs), with the aim to answer the question: is sensory grounding
(through 6G) necessary, and enough, to achieve understanding in LLMs?
Finally, we identify the main pillars of AGI and unveil how 6G networks
will orchestrate the development of AGI systems.
What a Study on the Thoughts and Beliefs in Assessments Reveals About Our Thinking on Summative and Formative Assessment
Authors: Taras Maddalena , Almansoori Sana A. M. , Davies Mark S.
Published: March 2024

Assessment’s increasing prominence in educational discourses and practices, especially in the past 20 years, has not always resulted in increasing clarity as to what the new terms in vogue actually mean. Questions include: does carrying out formative assessment really mean that we have to duplicate assessment; is summative assessment inevitably linked to problems and negative perceptions, as the UK’s National Student Survey results seem to indicate; are summative and formative assessment different beasts or are they two sides of the same coin as Scriven (1967) noted when he made the original distinction; is assessment really our weakest link? By asking questions to ascertain tutor beliefs and understandings, we clarify the areas where these misunderstandings arise in a Bahraini context. This work builds on research in different contexts which similarly found that the clarity of our assessment understandings is tainted by contradictions in the literature. The questionnaire used here asked neutral questions on assessment and collected both quantitative and qualitative data. Several responses were consistent, all: used formative assessment, associated it with feedback, which appears essential in their perception, and almost all valued theory. However, inconsistencies were in: definitions of formative and summative assessment, their functions and uses, and the relationship between them. How we interpret the results, to some degree, reflects our epistemological and theoretical positions; even though most of the data were unambiguous. By questioning our own beliefs, we found that we are not immune to our emotions and hopes influencing our interpretations.

Anemia is a condition of decreased levels of red blood cells in the body. A y oung woman is said to be anemic when her Hb content is less than 12 gr/dl (Masriadi, 2018). Some of the symptoms of anemia are easily tired, lack of energy in activities and reduce the enthusiasm for learning in adolescents. Adolescent girls are prone to anemia because teenage girls experience menstruation, which is a process where the uterine wall is injured so that sufficient hemoglobin levels are needed, especially in women. According to Riskedas data in 2018, female adolescents experienced anemia, namely 48.9%, with the proportion of anemia in the age group 15-24 years (Health, 2018). Anemia can be treated with pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods. Tablets (Fe) are used in pharmacological treatment and one of the non-pharmacological therapies used to increase Hb levels is beets. Chemical compounds and vitamins in beets are known to be able to increase Hb levels in adolescents. This PKM activity with the counseling method aims to provide information to teenagers about the use of beetroot juice in increasing Hb levels in adolescents. The process of implementing this community service activity is carried out by providing information and education to teenagers regarding anemia, the content of beets and how to process them so that they can become a drink that can increase adolescent Hb levels. Then the adolescents were distributed pre-test and post-test questionnaires to the participants and the results were obtained as much as 63% of the 35 adolescents had an increase in adolescent knowledge of how to prevent anemia with non-pharmacological therapy, namely beetroot juice.

Objetivo: Compreender o enfrentamento da família diante do tratamento oncológico. Materiais e métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal, descritivo que possuiu caráter qualitativo. A população estudada foi composta por pais que possuem filhos em tratamento oncológico e que são atendidos pela Fundação Sara na cidade de Montes Claros- MG. Para a execução deste estudo foi usado o método de entrevista semi estruturada, que conteve questões norteadoras sobre o assunto. Para a realização das entrevistas foi primeiramente feito o contato com a Fundação Sara. Posteriormente a entrevista, foi realizada a transcrição das falas para análise do conteúdo e categorização, segundo Bardin. Resultados: Através das falas conseguiu-se avaliar que as primeiras reações foram de revolta, tristeza, estresse emocional, choque, sentimento de culpa e abalo devido a repercussão da notícia. Ademais, a ausência de informações quanto ao tratamento e a incerteza sobre a vida do filho foi um agente destes sentimentos. Conclusão: Este estudo viabilizou ampliar a compreensão acerca dos sentimentos e reações vivenciados pelos familiares diante da presença do diagnóstico de câncer infantil. O estudo evidencia uma fragilidade dos serviços públicos de saúde no acompanhamento familiar e orientação acerca dos direitos legais dos pacientes com câncer. O conhecimento adequado sobre a condição dos filhos e a criação de vínculos entre profissionais e família podem impactar positivamente no cuidado e, consequentemente, no desenvolvimento delas.
ПРАВОТВОРЧІCТЬ ТА СУДОВО-ІНТЕРПРЕТАЦІЙНЕ ПРАВОЗАСТОСУВАННЯ: СПІВВІДНОШЕННЯ ПОНЯТЬ
Authors: Podorozhna Tetiana
Published: March 2024

У статті досліджено поняття «судова правотворчість» та її співвідношення із судово-інтерпретаційним правозастосуванням крізь призму судового прецеденту. Зазначено, що судова правотворчість, яка фактично змінює законодавство, є визнаним у юридичній науці фактом. Причому підкреслюється, що судова практика знімає проблему ієрархії актів та норм, адже те, що висловлено вищою судовою інстанцією набуває згодом характеру норми, яка частково або повною мірою витісняє нормативний зміст відповідного правового акта. Правовий акт, що містить вихідну норму, може юридично не припиняти свою дію, не змінюватись, але фактична норма в тому сенсі, в якому вона представлена у переформатованому приписі, буде реалізовано з опорою на судові механізми такого переформатування. Наголошено на тому, що Необхідність тлумачення закону виникає через його неясність, тобто дефект юридичної техніки, призначеної, насамперед, для створення законів, доступних для розуміння. Системний дефект законодавства у вигляді текстів, які не містять чітких логічних норм, у тому числі чітких формулювань юридичних фактів породжує «неминучість судової правотворчості» у вигляді тлумачення закону аж до можливості його застосування. У той же час судовий прецедент  неминуча форма суддівського права, спрямованого на виправлення дефектів законодавства, що виявляються в правозастосуванні (пробіл у законі, колізії норм права, правова невизначеність). Судова правотворчість щодо усунення дефектів законодавства є його зміною, подібною до «ремонту неякісно виготовленого виробу». Таким чином, у випадках прогалин та колізій у законодавстві, суд за допомогою власної правотворчості змінює закон, зберігаючи при цьому систему права та законодавства. Зроблено висновок, що правотворчість завжди первинна у створенні і розвитку правової системи держави, а судово-нормативна інтерпретація сприяє її ефективному функціонуванню. Така схема взаємин правотворчих органів і судів виступає елементом механізму, що забезпечує поділ та узгодженість єдиної державної влади. При цьому важливо відзначити наявність творчої складової в судовому правозастосуванні, зокрема у справах в судах загальної юрисдикції.
КОНСТИТУЦІЙНИЙ СУД УКРАЇНИ В МЕХАНІЗМІ ДЕРЖАВНОЇ ПІДТРИМКИ МІСЦЕВОГО САМОВРЯДУВАННЯ

Published: March 2024

У статті охарактеризовано місце і роль Конституційного Суду як органу конституційної юрисдикції в здійсненні судового захисту прав місцевого самоврядування, який є складовою частиною державної політики щодо підтримки місцевого самоврядування в Україні. Визначені конституційно- правові передумови та чинники, що зумовлюють необхідність судового захисту прав місцевого самоврядування Україні з боку Конституційного Суду, та основні напрями його діяльності у відповідній сфері. Констатовано, що необхідність судового захисту прав місцевого самоврядування з його боку зумовлена, зокрема, тим, що місцеве самоврядування є одним із елементів конституційного ладу України. Виявлені основні відмінності між судовим захистом прав місцевого самоврядування з боку Конституційного Суду як органу конституційної юрисдикції та з боку судів загальної юрисдикції. Обґрунтовано, що основне призначення Конституційного Суду полягає у забезпеченні верховенства Конституції України шляхом здійснення функції судового конституційного контролю та визначено її зміст. При цьому наголошено, що Конституційний Суд, виконуючи відповідну функцію, забезпечує дотримання Конституції України практично у всіх сферах суспільного життя, в тому числі у сфері місцевого самоврядування. Головними напрямами діяльності Конституційного Суду в здійсненні судового захисту прав місцевого самоврядування визначено: 1) вирішення питань про відповідність Конституції України (конституційність) законів України та у випадках, визначених Конституцією інших актів, що стосуються сфери місцевого самоврядування; 2) здійснення офіційного тлумачення положень Конституції України, що визначають конституційні засади місцевого самоврядування; 3) надання висновків щодо відповідності законопроєктів про внесення змін до Конституції України, що стосуються місцевого самоврядування, вимогам статей 157 і 158 Конституції України. Акцентовано, що Конституційний Суд за результатами здійснення функції судового захисту гарантованих  Конституцією прав місцевого самоврядування, не тільки визнає неконституційними закони та інші правові акти, а й формулює загальнообов’язкові юридичні позиції, які, з одного боку, спрямовані на захист конституційних принципів місцевого самоврядування, а з другого – містять своєрідні правові орієнтири, спрямовані на його вдосконалення на законодавчому рівні. У такий спосіб Конституційних Суд бере участь у формуванні та реалізації державної політики у сфері місцевого самоврядування, конституційні засади якого визначені в Основному Законі України, який має найвищу юридичну силу, в результаті чого закони та інші правові акти з питань місцевого самоврядування повинні прийматися на основі Конституції України і відповідати їй.

У статті досліджується питання правового регулювання договору факторингу за законодавством України, визначаються загальні характеристики такого договору, його елементи, особливості прав та обов’язків сторін договору факторингу, аналізується актуальна судова практика Верховного Суду вирішення пов’язаних із темою дослідження спорів. На основі актуальної судової практики встановлено, що відносини з договору факторингу мають більш складний характер порівняно з тими, що виникають із відносин цесії. За наслідком дослідження з’ясовано, що договір факторингу є окремою цивільно-правовою конструкцією, яка має цивільно-правову природу, для якої характерні певні особливості, що дають змогу відокремити його від інших договорів про надання фінансових послуг.
