PECULIARITIES OF CERAMIC PRODUCTION FROM THE NEOLITHIC SETTLEMENTS PRIBREZHNOYE AND USHAKOVO-3
Authors: Zaltsman Edwin B. , Koroleva Yulia V. , Strelkovsky Alexander A.
Published: October 2024

The article presents the results of an interdisciplinary study of ceramics from the Neolithic settlements of Pribrezhnoe and Ushakovo-3, the earliest among the coastal culture complexes with corded ware. Using X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, ceramics from various stages of the coastal culture, as well as from the Funnel Beaker culture, whose seasonal settlements preceded them in approximately the same locations, were analyzed. The main objectives of the study were to identify the characteristics and common features of ceramic production from these Neolithic settlements and to determine the locations of the primary raw material sources. A significant difference in the trace element composition between the corded ware and Funnel Beaker culture ceramics was established. Moreover, it was found that most of the Funnel Beaker pottery was made from non-local clays, suggesting that a substantial portion of the ceramics may have been brought by the settlers, likely reflecting the seasonal nature of the settlements and the specific activities of the migrants. In contrast, the results of the analysis of pottery fragments from the coastal culture at the two settlements revealed a clear similarity, which can be attributed to the use of the same clay sources. However, at Ushakovo-3, there appears to have been a stronger preference for clays from nearby deposits that, while geographically close, exhibited local differences in trace element composition, impacting the technological characteristics of the ceramics. Additionally, rare instances of foreign ceramics were identified, indicating some external connections. Thus, the results of these interdisciplinary studies, which sometimes yield unexpected and significant insights that are difficult or even impossible to obtain using traditional methods, demonstrate the clear potential for further research in this field.
THE KAPP PUTSCH IN EAST PRUSSIA: POLITICAL CONSEQUENCES
Authors: Shepel Iakov G.
Published: October 2024

Based on archival documents, materials from regional and national German press, and personal sources, the article examines the reactions in East Prussia to the Kapp Putsch of 1920, which aimed to overthrow the legitimate government of the Weimar Republic. Unlike most other German territories, the putschists in East Prussia were supported by many representatives of the regional political elite and bureaucracy. The article attempts to explain the reasons for this anomaly and to identify the consequences of the support for the putsch by part of the local political actors on the further development of the province. The article concludes that the putsch had a significant impact on East Prussia, serving as a manifestation of the growing conflict between the regional elite and the central authorities in Berlin. The defeat of the putschists and the changes in the composition of the East Prussian bureaucracy made by the republican government marked the beginning of a new phase in the relations between the state capital and the East Prussian province.

Value-based analysis of the negotiation for the construction of a church dome
Authors: Hernández Mario Luis Chew , Rosas Leopoldo Viveros , Gómez-Tagle Raúl Gómez
Published: October 2024

In the construction industry, the signing of contracts between contractors and clients is a common practice. The entities signing these contacts have vastly different objectives in the context of the project: the contractor is motivated by the achievement of profit, while the client has objectives that can be economic, aesthetic, related to completion time, etc. According to negotiation theory, the greater the difference between the objectives of the sides, the better the contracts that can be achieved in the negotiation. Therefore, the analysis of a contractor-client negotiation in the building industry should be based on a complete understanding of the objectives of the sides. Kenney’s Value-Focused Thinking (VFT) provides a framework on which such understanding can be achieved. This paper presents a VFT-based methodology to analyze the contractor-client negotiations in the context of construction projects. The methodology is illustrated by analyzing, in retrospective, the negotiation between a construction company and a client regarding the construction of a dome for a church. The results show the usefulness of analyzing the negotiation from the point of view of the sides’ objectives.

Line-of-Sight Probability Models for 5G/6G Millimeter-Wave Networks: A Review
Authors: Raddwan Basheer Ameen , Al-Baltah Ibrahim Ahmed
Published: October 2024

In the fifth-generation (5G) and future wireless networks, coverage planning for millimeter-wave (mm-wave) networks in a three-dimensional (3D) urban environment depends on the communication channel and line-of-sight (LoS) probability models. This is especially true when there are big stationary obstructions. The current literature lacks a complete review of the existing LoS probability models. To bridge this gap, this paper reviews modeling approaches and mathematical models of the LoS probability. We discovered that, due to the complexity of modeling a large number of 3D layouts, most existing models have focused on a few urban layouts. We developed a 3D synthetic urban layout generator that is based on game engine technology to simulate any ITU-R P.1410 urban layouts and collect the ray-tracing. We provided a proof-of-concept to show that the game technology could handle the complexity of simulating ray-tracing in 3D urban environments. Moreover, we addressed some of the biggest challenges and gaps in the current LoS probability literature and suggested some valid opportunities.

Whither, the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights
Authors: Douglas-Scott Sionaidh
Published: October 2024

So, has the Charter come of age, now that it is nearing its quarter century, and has been binding in force for nearly 15 of those years. No longer is the Charter a “sleeping beauty”, and no longer are fundamental rights mere epiphenomena in EU law – offshoots framed in the amorphous category of “general principles of law” – creations of the EU’s earlier desire for legitimacy in its quest for greater integration. The EU Charter contains the essence of a common language, a currency that all can understand. And the EU is better with it than without it.
English learner status in Florida public schools is correlated with significantly lower graduation rates
Authors: Socas Cristina , Socas Marcia
Published: October 2024

Many studies have focused on the relationship between socioeconomic factors and graduation rates. One such factor is English language learner (ELL) status. It is vital to study the ELL student population, as well as the factors contributing to their performance, because ELL students make up the fastest growing segment of the public school population nationally. We hypothesized that ELL status would play a significant role in graduation rates in Florida. Our study showed that over the past five years Florida ELL students consistently had the lowest graduation rates of all student subtypes measured. ELL students had significantly higher dropout rates than non-ELL students. Additionally, analysis of the student distribution throughout the state highlighted that greater than 61% of ELL students are attending school in just five of the 68 Florida counties. Our study also investigated the correlation between economic disadvantage and ELL students and found that 10 counties showed a correlation between ELL status and economic disadvantage for greater than 80% of their ELL student population. Although Spanish is the predominant primary language for ELL students, Hispanic graduation rates did not differ significantly from those of white students. Interestingly, former ELL students who are more than two years past the ELL status classification had the same graduation rate as their non-ELL peers. Thus, it is important to not only assess where and how to implement resources to assist ELL students but also employ community outreach to change biases or potential peer influences associated with schooling.
Risk factors contributing to Pennsylvania childhood asthma
Authors: Li Andrew , Li Angelina , Ruffolo Christina
Published: October 2024

Childhood asthma continues to present a significant clinical and economic challenge in the U.S. Implementing more proactive treatment and comprehensive asthma management programs is imperative to addressing this national financial and health burden. Understanding the importance of various risk factors in asthma hospitalization and diagnosis rates can aid in earlier identification, treatment, and prevention of asthma altogether. In this study, we hypothesized that population density was the greatest predictor of childhood asthma hospitalization rate and diagnosis rate. We examined a total of 18 demographic, socioeconomic, and environmental risk factors at Pennsylvania’s county level to identify the risk factors contributing to childhood asthma hospitalization and diagnosis rate. Using a multiple linear regression model, we found “population density” and “percentage of Hispanic population” to be most strongly correlated with both childhood asthma hospitalization rate and diagnosis rates. In addition, “tobacco retail density”, “number of high ozone days”, and “childhood lead poisoning rate” were important factors associated with asthma hospitalization rate, while “percentage of population living in a rural area” was associated with asthma diagnosis rate. Our study provides a greater understanding of the influence of certain demographic and environmental exposures on Pennsylvania’s childhood asthma and emphasizes the importance of prevention.

Published: October 2024

The review summarizes the known data on various methods for saturation and dearomatization of heterocyclic moieties, forming diverse aromatic compounds. Since the classical hydrogenation of substrates with molecular hydrogen has a number of fundamental drawbacks that hinder both its use at the laboratory level and its widespread implementation in industrial production, the main attention is paid to non-classical methods described in the literature over the last 20–25years. The methods of ammonia-free Birch reduction, transfer hydrogenation, reduction by Hantzsch esters and some other reactions involving heterocyclic compounds are summarized and systematized. It is shown that such methods of reduction or dearomatization of heterocycles can in some cases be more efficient than classical procedures.

Diabetes and its complications derived are among serious global health concerns that critically deteriorate the quality of life of patients and, in some cases, result in lethal outcome. Herein, general information on the pathogenesis, factors aggravating the course of the disease and drugs used for the treatment of two types of diabetes are briefly discussed. The aim of the review is to introduce supramolecular strategies that are currently being developed for the treatment of diabetes mellitus and that present a very effective alternative to chemical synthesis, allowing the fabrication of nanocontainers with switchable characteristics that meet the criteria of green chemistry. Particular attention is paid to organic (amphiphilic and polymeric) formulations, including those of natural origin, due to their biocompatibility, low toxicity, and bioavailability. The advantages and limitations of different nanosystems are discussed, with emphasis on their adaptivity to noninvasive administration routes.

El modelo híbrido, que fusiona la enseñanza presencial con la instrucción en línea, ha ganado popularidad en la educación superior por sus beneficios en flexibilidad y accesibilidad. Este enfoque combina métodos tradicionales y digitales, y ha sido adoptado por universidades con el objetivo de mejorar el aprendizaje y rendimiento académico. Sin embargo, la eficacia del modelo varía según la disciplina, especialmente en matemáticas, donde la comprensión profunda y la práctica constante son cruciales. Este artículo de revisión examina cómo el modelo híbrido afecta el rendimiento académico en matemáticas, evaluando tanto sus ventajas como limitaciones.
El modelo híbrido permite a los estudiantes ajustar su ritmo de estudio a sus necesidades, lo que puede mejorar la comprensión del material y facilitar la retención del conocimiento mediante recursos adicionales en línea, como tutoriales y ejercicios interactivos. No obstante, la falta de retroalimentación inmediata en entornos en línea puede limitar la resolución efectiva de problemas complejos, una ventaja de la enseñanza presencial. Además, la efectividad del modelo depende en gran medida del diseño y planificación del curso. Una implementación deficiente puede resultar en una experiencia educativa disfuncional, destacando la importancia de una estructura pedagógica bien definida y una gestión adecuada de la carga cognitiva. Este análisis cualitativo busca comprender las complejidades del impacto del modelo híbrido en el aprendizaje matemático y proporcionar una visión integral sobre cómo estos cambios influyen en la educación en matemáticas.

Today Ukraine is faced with new challenges that have a significant impact on natural water bodies and aquaculture. As a result of hostilities, there is an additional pressure on aquatic ecosystems. Unfortunately, large territories with important fishery complexes of Ukraine are either occupied, located in the war zone, or mined. Currently it is impossible to carry out comprehensive monitoring investigations into the actual environmental condition of inland water bodies of Ukraine. Therefore, in order to establish a true picture of the state of the water fund of Ukraine, an analytical review of publications was performed. Unfortunately, after the large-scale hostilities on the territory of Ukraine, a significant number of water bodies changed their status according to saprobic indicators. The situation is difficult with the reservoirs of the Dnipro River Cascade, which accumulate all pollutants released into the water from the catchment area. The destruction of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Station led to a massive killing of all biota, including fish. The reservoirs are mostly polluted by biogenic, organic and surface-active substances, oil products, phenols, pesticides, and heavy metals. Even in the pre-war period, the problem of water pollution required immediate decisions, and with the beginning of the full-scale war, it became one of the most urgent tasks for Ukraine. Today, Ukraine’s water bodies suffer from pollution by pyrogens, fuel, and lubricants after rocket attacks and even from the total destruction of fish farms, water reservoirs, i.e., the Kakhovka Reservoir. Therefore, monitoring of the environmental condition of inland water bodies of Ukraine will provide an opportunity to assess their real condition and, in the future, to select the complex of methods aimed for their restoration.
Ungulate-driven forest-steppe vegetation changes in enclosures
Authors: Berber Aleksandr P. , Kibiša Artūras
Published: October 2024

Ungulate enclosures are commonly established for wildlife observation and conservation, recreational hunting, meat, and material production. In this study, we analyse the ‘Elen’ hunting estate located in the forest-steppes of Kazakhstan. Our main objectives were to determine the richness and abundance of herbaceous and woody vegetation within the enclosures. Additionally, we aimed to evaluate damages inflicted by ungulate browsing and grazing. Our results reveal that dominant tree species in the forests of the ‘Elen’ estate are Scots pine, silver birch, and downy birch. Within the herbaceous vegetation cover, we identified 107 grass, sedge, and herb species, majority of them belonging to the Asteraceae, Poaceae, Fabaceae, and Rosaceae families. Our analysis indicates that ungulates significantly impact forest-steppe vegetation in the enclosures. On average, 29.4% (20–100%) of trees and shrubs and 17.1% (15.6–81.8%) of herbaceous vegetation were damaged. The results of this study provide valuable insights for determining the optimal ungulate population size within the enclosures and contribute to the preservation of forest-steppes vegetation.

Brucella and Chlamydia spp. are zoonotic pathogens with significant implications for both human and animal health. Brucella species, which is responsible for brucellosis, manifest in a range of clinical symptoms and present substantial zoonotic risks. Though less commonly reported, canine infections with Brucella raise concerns about the potential for transmission to humans and highlight the need for continued vigilance in veterinary settings. Chlamydia spp. is notable for its ability to cause diverse diseases in animals, from mild infections to severe systemic illnesses. In dogs, Chlamydia infections can lead to symptoms such as conjunctivitis, respiratory disorders, and reproductive issues, including infertility and abortion. The zoonotic potential of Chlamydia, particularly Chlamydia felis, emphasises the need for thorough monitoring and control measures in both domestic animals and humans. Ticks play a significant role in the transmission of these pathogens. Research has identified Chlamydia spp. in ticks; however, the exact epidemiological implications remain unclear. Similarly, Brucella has been detected in ticks, but conclusive evidence of tick-borne transmission to humans or between animals is still lacking. Improved diagnostic tools and control strategies are essential for managing the risks associated with Brucella and Chlamydia infections in both animals and humans, with a particular focus on the role of ticks as potential vectors.

Published: October 2024

Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2012 tentang Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak adalah bentuk perlindungan dan jaminan negara atas hak Anak. Terobosan dalam UU SPPA dalam penanganan tindak pidana Anak adalah pendekatan keadilan restoratif. Pencurian sebagai salah satu tindak pidana yang sering dilakukan Anak. Permasalahan yang muncul terkait penerapan keadilan restoratif yang ditemukan di tengah masyarakat adalah tidak berkurangnya kasus yang terjadi dan anak yang kasusnya telah selesai melalui keadilan restoratif kembali mengulangi perbuatan yang serupa. Penerapan keadilan restoratif dalam penyelesaian tindak pidana pencurian yang dilakukan Anak oleh penyidik Satuan Reserse Kriminal Kepolisian Resor Pasaman sudah dilaksanakan menurut peraturan perundang-undangan yang berlaku. Hal ini terbukti dari dari adanya penyelesaian tindak pidana pencurian yang dilakukan anak pada tahap penyelidikan, penyidikan, penyelesaian oleh Bhabinkamtibmas, dan secara kekeluargaan oleh masyarakat. Penerapan keadilan restoratif dalam penyelesaian tindak pidana pencurian yang dilakukan anak oleh penyidik Satuan Reserse Kriminal Kepolisian Resor Pasaman dapat dikatakan sudah efektif untuk menyelesaikan sebagian besar dari kasus pencurian yang dilakukan Anak di wilayah Kabupaten Pasaman.
