The paper describes a designed and tested approach to the field emission current measurement within a wide current range of 7-8 orders of magnitude. An experimental setup employed was based on a high vacuum chamber with a residual gas pressure of not worse than 10‑6 Pa. A field emissive cathode was a thin pure copper needle with a hemispherical tip. A cathode diameter was ~70 µm, a tip hemisphere radius was ~35 µm, a cathode length was ~15 mm. An anode was a flat phosphorous screen. The emission current was measured within the cathode circuit. Two different approaches were employed to measure the current. Within the current range of 1 nA – 10 µA, we used an ordinary 1‑MOhm current shunt. To measure the emission current below 1 nA, we employed the charge collection approach when a current-measuring capacitor was charged by the field emission current for some particular collection period. Then, the capacitor was connected to an oscilloscope input. A signal of the capacitor discharge through the oscilloscope input impedance was registered. The signal amplitude gave information on the emission current averaged over the collection period. Employing this approach, we managed to measure the emission current of ~0.2 pA. In addition, the limitations of the approach were investigated.

We present an integrated petrological study of the 2021 Tajogaite eruption, La Palma, examining magmatic processes that initiated, sustained, and terminated surface volcanic activity. High temporal resolution sampling of near-continuously erupted alkali-basalt lava and tephra over the 85-day event reveals magma plumbing system dynamics from compositional trends. Initial deposits were mineralogically varied, reflecting mobilisation of shallow, evolved mush perturbed by fresh deep, primitive magma influx (Stage 1 - initiation). Transition to more primitive, uniform compositions recorded progressively deeper tapping of pre-existing magmatic zonation (Stage 2 - evacuation). The final stage (Stage 3 - waning) was characterised by more evolved magma compositions on the same fractionation trend as Stage 2, with tephra glass compositions suggesting a proportionately larger role of mush interstitial melts. We suggest this reflects shutdown of mantle-derived magma supply, a key process in eruption waning and termination, and compression-driven melt extraction of less mobile melts. Correlation with geophysical monitoring data demonstrates how near-real-time petrological monitoring could improve understanding of when an eruption may end.

Discurso político y discurso religioso en tiempos de cambio: representación del ataque a La Tablada en la prensa católica argentina
Authors: Tonelli María Victoria
Published: December 2024

El objetivo de este trabajo es dar cuenta, a través del análisis semiótico del discurso y desde una perspectiva comparativa, de las representaciones que tres revistas católicas Cabildo, Nueva Tierra y Criterio, produjeron de una misma coyuntura: el ataque al Regimiento de Infantería Mecanizado 3 del Ejército Argentino, ubicado en La Tablada. La metodología que orienta la investigación es el nonágono semiótico (Guerri, 2014), basado en la noción triádica de las categorías de Peirce y en la propuesta de Magariños de Morentín. Este instrumento, que evidencia los distintos aspectos interrelacionados en todo fenómeno entendido como signo, nos permite advertir las diferencias en la producción de significado de los tres medios y la heterogeneidad política del discurso católico en un período de transición de la historia argentina.
Culto a la Virgen de Urkupiña en Apolinario Saravia: la construcción del “yo” en la lucha del sentido
Authors: Camila del Huerto Camila del Huerto
Published: December 2024

La Virgen de Urkupiña es una advocación de la Virgen María Asunta, cuya festividad se celebra en Quillacollo, Bolivia. La misma se extendió hasta llegar a Argentina mediante la inmigración de comunidades bolivianas a dicho país. La fiesta tiene particular presencia y adhesión en toda la provincia de Salta, pero el presente trabajo estará enfocado en la localidad de Apolinario Saravia. Se analizará la festividad a partir de la semiótica espacial propuesta por Lotman (1996) para delimitar las semiosferas existentes, el núcleo de cada una, la periferia, y la interacción en la frontera del sentido, mediada por intérpretes bilingües habilitados para negociar entre el mundo de los “criollos” y el mundo de los “bolivianos”. Por otro lado, se tomarán los aportes realizados por Bajtín (1993) en torno al carácter dialógico de los enunciados para reflexionar acerca del papel de la alteridad en la construcción de los sujetos que intervienen en la festividad y cómo, en la interacción subjetiva, conforman su “yo” dentro o con respecto a Urkupiña. Por último, se tomará al lexema ‘Urkupiña’ como un signo ideológico, en términos de Voloshinov (2009), que trae consigo múltiples acentos valorativos. Esto, a su vez, permite que el mismo pueda evolucionar en un dinamismo que va más allá de los intentos por parte de un sector dominante en pos de mantener una unidad religiosa homogénea en la localidad de Apolinario Saravia.

Published: December 2024

The study was carried out to determine the contamination status of irrigation water with plant parasitic nematodes and the effect of their spread in the greenhouse soil. For this purpose, soil samples and water samples from the irrigation source of the greenhouse were taken from the same greenhouses in May and October in Isparta Province of Türkiye. A total of 20 samplings were collected from 13 tomato and 7 clove greenhouses. The irrigation sources of these greenhouses were notedas 8 wells and 12 open pools. Nematode densities in 100 g of soil and 1 l of water were determined. In the study, 8 economically important plant parasitic nematode genera (Meloidogyne spp., Criconemoides spp., Helicotylenchus spp., Ditylenchus spp., Pratylenchus spp., Paratylenchus spp., Xiphinema spp. and Tylenchus spp.) were detected in irrigation water and soil samples. The percentages of presence of Criconemoides spp., Helicotylenchus spp., Ditylenchus spp., Pratylenchus spp., Paratylenchus spp., Xiphinema spp. and Tylenchus spp. in soil were found to be 15%, 35%, 25%, 45%, 25%, 25% and 45%, respectively. The percentages of their presence in water samples were determined as 25%, 35%, 35%, 25%, 25%, 30% and 30%, respectively. In seven soil samples (S1, S6, S7, S13, S17, S20) Meloidogyne spp. has been found. Five of these samples (S6, S7, S12, S17, S20) belong to tomato greenhouses irrigated with pool water. While the S13 sample belongs to the clove greenhouse soil irrigated with pool water, the S1 sample was taken from the tomato greenhouse irrigated with well water. Meloidogyne spp. were in both soil and water samples of S1, S6, S7, S12, S13, S17 and S20. While S9 and S18 were only found in water samples. It appears that the likelihood of root knot nematodes being present is higher in greenhouses irrigated from open pools. In general, nematode densities were found to be higher in soil and water samples in October. While Meloidogyne spp. densities varied between 100-900 individuals/100 g of soil, they varied between 200-1400 individuals/1 L of water samples. In the study, significant evidence was obtained regarding the transmission of plant parasitic nematodes to greenhouse soil through irrigation water.

Published: December 2024

Entrepreneurship is currently experiencing significant and dynamic development. The growth rate of entrepreneurship is a sensitive issue and challenge that attracts public attention in the middle of increasingly tight competition. The development of entrepreneurship is driven by various factors, including rapid technological development and globalization. However, with the development of technology, entrepreneurship also needs to have good preparation to face increasingly tight levels of competition and can maintain and create increasingly successful entrepreneurship. Therefore, this study aims to determine the factors that influence the sustainability resilience and survival of MSMEs. A quantitative method was used in this study, and incidental sampling was used to select 238 MSMEs as respondents. The distribution of questionnaires was carried out openly to MSMEs through associations that oversee the performance of MSMEs. Data analysis in this study used the Structural Equation Model (SEM) and Partial Least Squares (PLS) analysis software version 3.0. The results of the study indicate that entrepreneurial knowledge has a positive effect on the sustainability resilience and survival of entrepreneurs, entrepreneurial motivation has a positive and insignificant effect, and technological progress has a positive and insignificant effect. This study provides new contributions and knowledge that an entrepreneur must be able to know what preparations must be made and how they can manage MSMEs in the midst of competition to anticipate conflicts that will occur in the future.
E-Payment System Readiness of Micro Business Owners
Authors: Pleno Allan B.
Published: December 2024

This study used qualitative research to examine e-payment system readiness among microbusiness owners in Region III, Philippines. The primary purpose was to explore four key themes: digital literacy and skills, comparisons between cash and e-payment transactions, the downsides of e-payment, and awareness and capacity for e-payment systems. Data were collected through thematic coding of interviews with ten microbusiness owners. The results revealed that most respondents actively engage with digital technology, using mobile devices and computers daily. While internet access is generally available, reliance on mobile data can affect user experience. Findings indicate that cash transactions remain prevalent; however, there is a noticeable shift toward e-payments due to their convenience in bill payments and online shopping. Significant challenges were identified, including technical issues and unreliable internet connections that hinder smooth transactions. Older users and those with limited technological skills face difficulties in adopting such systems. The study concludes that although there is potential for greater adoption of e-payment systems, addressing infrastructure challenges and enhancing digital literacy—especially among older demographics—is crucial for facilitating a full transition. Targeted training initiatives and reliable technology are essential for improving e-payment readiness among microbusinesses in the region.

Key metrics, including sleep onset latency, total sleep duration, deep sleep duration, heart rate, and mood, were assessed. The key metrics were tracked using the EEG wearable Frenz Brainband, which provides comparable accuracy to gold-standard polysomnography (PSG), alongside qualitative surveys completed each morning after waking.Findings: The results reveal that weighted blankets, such as Baloo Living, used alone or in combination with CBT-i, can improve sleep quality, morning mood, and feelings of mental and physical recovery.
A Fair Lexical Decision Task for Monolingual and Multilingual Spanish-speakers
Authors: Siebert Julian M , Fuentes-Jimenez Mia , Ma Wanjing Anya , Saavedra Ana , Townley-Flores Carrie , Yeatman Jason D
Published: December 2024

This study describes the development and validation of ROAR Palabra, a novel Spanish lexical decision task designed for use with both Spanish-speaking children and Spanish-English bilinguals. This self-administered task requires students to decide whether a string of letters presented on the screen is a real word in Spanish. While there is evidence that scores on English lexical decision tasks are highly predictive of performance on conventional (time- and resource-intensive) word reading assessments in English (Yeatman et al., 2021), we explore whether this holds in Spanish, which has a much more transparent orthography. The specific goals are (i) to create a linguistically fair task and an item-response theory model for it and (ii) to evaluate whether such task can serve as a reliable proxy for conventional word reading measures, offering a quick and easy-to-administer tool for assessing reading skills across linguistic and cultural contexts. Results demonstrated strong correlations between performance on ROAR Palabra and standardized word reading assessments such as the Woodcock-Muñoz Batería IV, suggesting its effectiveness as a substitute measure. Notably, the task was sensitive to differences in language proficiency across both monolingual and multilingual groups, reflecting expected developmental and environmental influences. While not designed for the comparisons between monolingual and multilingual populations, the findings underscore the potential of this task as a versatile and culturally adaptable tool for reading assessments in different Spanish-speaking and bilingual contexts.
Current Economic Trends and Inflationary Pressures in Bangladesh
Authors: Morshed Monzur
Published: December 2024

Bangladesh is a developing country with a population of over 160 million people and a GDP of $437.42 billion USD (2023). The country is reeling from inflation that is forecast to be about 9-10% this year. The increase stems mainly from global disruptions, dependence on imports and a weakening currency. Although the government has endeavored to contain inflation with more restrictive monetary policies and subsidies, these are not inclusive due to budget constraints and slow growth of the economy. Structural reforms are also required to promote local production as opposed to relying on imports. If global circumstances improve, inflation may fall back to something similar to 5-6%. A well-coordinated strategy is key to managing inflation, fostering growth, and ensuring long-term stability.
Reissner’s Fiber at the Intersection of Neuroscience and Mysticism: An Evolutionary Perspective
Authors: Wile Lawrence
Published: December 2024

During their evolutionary transition from apes, Homo sapiens developed the capacity to create mental worlds. While conferring a selective advantage and leading to wondrous intellectual achievements and transformative technologies, this capacity set humankind on a historical trajectory that is approaching the potential for its extinction. The genetic and anatomical basis of humankind’s unique mental capacities is unclear. However, the perinatal regression of Reissner’s fiber (RF) in humans, an enigmatic, strategically located filament originating from the center of the brain, is a likely factor.This study explores the hypothesis that the originators and transmitters of religious mystical traditions were rare individuals whose RFs persisted into adulthood. They perceived the fiber with its surrounding sensory neurons and experienced higher states of consciousness generated by it. Those perceptions have been transmitted in prescientific, mythological, symbolic language as the “subtle body,” the supposed intermediary connection between humans and the divine, bridging the gap between materiality and immateriality, and expanding consciousness beyond the limits of reason. Ultimately, this connection is the purported means of redemption. The secrets of mystical religious traditions are lost under the dust of fallen Babel. However, the identification of RF with the central axis of the “subtle body” presents a path toward their rediscovery. Emerging biotechnologies offer the potential to reverse RFs perinatal regression. Advanced technologies, such as real-time neurofeedback using quantum models, present exciting opportunities for the scientific study of consciousness and have the potential to revolutionize our understanding of spirituality and reality.
Legal Reform in Legal Responsibility for the Use of Public Roads for the Transportation of Mining Products (Case Study of Transportation of Mining Products in West Aceh Regency)
Authors: Kurdi Kurdi , Syafitri Cut Zulfahnur
Published: December 2024

Transportation plays an important role in supporting economic growth and regional connectivity, but the use of public roads for hauling activities by mining companies in West Aceh Regency has caused significant problems such as road damage, pollution, and accident risk. This condition is exacerbated by a legal vacuum at the local level that does not specifically regulate the use of public roads for the transportation of mining products, although national regulations such as the Mineral and Mineral Law and regulations related to reclamation already exist. This study uses normative juridical methods with legislative and conceptual approaches to analyze applicable legal provisions and identify legal gaps, as well as formulate legal reform solutions. The results of the study show the need for the preparation of clear regional regulations (Qanun), including the setting of operational schedules, quota systems, and real-time monitoring. In addition, the government's cooperation with business entities (PPP) to build special hauling roads through the DBOMFT scheme is proposed as a constructive solution to reduce the burden on public roads and increase regional revenue. Legal reform at the regional level is expected to provide legal certainty, protect the community, and minimize negative impacts on the environment and infrastructure.

Published: December 2024

This research aims to make a decision study of criminal liability of road-based mass transport drivers in special bus lanes. The research method used is normative juridical. This result of the research shows that drivers of road-based mass transportation buses who enter special bus lanes should not be punished if someone breaks through the special bus lane which results in an accident and the victim dies. This is based on legal experience, namely on court decisions based on articles relating to road user negligence. The decision made by the judge in the case of death due to someone breaking into a special bus lane exampale in case Decision Number 1086 K/PID/2016 and others is not commensurate with the driver's fault because the incident occurred due to the fault of the perpetrator or the victim themselves. This decision also cannot apply to mass transit bus drivers because basically it is necessary to pay more in-depth attention to causal factors, as well as Victim Precipitation conditions which are the initial causes of accidents in special bus lanes. This research is a form of proposed change in Law No. 22 of 2009 concerning Traffic and Road Transportation.
The Position of Substitute Heirs as Perpetrators of The Murder of Direct Heirs Based on Civil Inheritance Law
Authors: Aulyanti Davina Dewi , Taupiqqurrahman
Published: December 2024

This article aims to examine the position of a substitute heir who has killed a direct heir, based on Civil Inheritance Law, and analyze specific conditions under which the substitute heir, the perpetrator of the killing, could still inherit. To analyze this issue, a normative juridical research method is employed. For ease of research, the author presents a case illustration that is not based on real events. The data is collected through  literature studies and analyzed qualitatively. The necessary data sources include the Civil Code (KUHPerdata), the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), and relevant scholarly journals. This study concludes that the position of A1 as a substitute heir is obstructed from inheriting because they have killed A, based on the provisions of Article 838 of the Civil Code. However, there are specific conditions that could allow A1 to still receive their inheritance rights, considering that the inheritance still belongs to P, not A. One possible approach is for A1 to file a lawsuit in the District Court, requesting the judge to render a fair decision by taking into account factors of justice and the emotional relationship between A1 and P.
The Implementation of The Complete Systematic Land Registration Program as A Framework for Achieving Agrarian Reform
Authors: Ardhana Azriel Putra , Taupiqqurrahman
Published: December 2024

This research aims to analyze the implementation of the Complete Systematic Land Registration (PTSL) program as an effort to accelerate Agrarian Reform, which aims to create justice and welfare for the people as mandated by the Constitution. The issue is focused on the agenda of accelerating Agrarian Reform through the Complete Systematic Land Registration, which has proven to have a positive impact on Indonesian society in terms of providing legal certainty of land ownership, thereby preventing the potential for agrarian conflicts. This research uses qualitative methods with a legislative approach and a conceptual approach, resulting in a juridical-normative type of study. Data were collected through unstructured observation methods and analyzed qualitatively. This study concludes that land registration in Indonesia until 2017 (before the PTSL program) only resulted in 46 million registered land parcels, whereas as of now, it has reached 117.9 million registered land parcels by September 2024. With the existence of land ownership certificates as proof of ownership, it will be able to provide legal certainty and minimize agrarian conflicts, thereby enabling the government's efforts in the Acceleration of Agrarian Reform to be achieved effectively.

The results of the study show that although Polri has carried out various significant law enforcement operations and prevention programs, challenges such as the involvement of certain officers, high demand for narcotics among the community, limited rehabilitation facilities, and the complexity of international narcotics networks are still major obstacles. Therefore, efforts are needed to improve internal supervision, increase international cooperation, and increase the capacity of community-based rehabilitation and prevention programs.

Authors: Chejara Yadvendra
Published: December 2024

Ratnakumar Sambhariya's literature creates awareness about the lives, challenges, and rights of the Dalit community. In his stories, he unveils new trends in social realism. His characters represent the marginalized and oppressed sections of society, struggling for self-respect and rights. Sambhariya's writings reflect the ideas of Ambedkar and slogans like "Education is the milk of a lioness." His stories serve as a lamp rather than a mirror, inspiring society toward progress and reform. Challenging economic, political, social, and cultural inequalities, Sambhariya establishes new human and social values in literature. His stories, set against the backdrop of rural life, portray human emotions and social realities, connecting readers from all perspectives.
Abstract in Hindi Language: रत्नकुमार सांभरिया का साहित्य दलित वर्ग के जीवन, उनकी समस्याओं और अधिकारों के प्रति जागरूकता उत्पन्न करता है। वे अपनी कहानियों में सामाजिक यथार्थ की नवीन प्रवृत्तियों का उद्घाटन करते हैं। उनके पात्र समाज के वंचित और शोषित वर्ग का प्रतिनिधित्व करते हैं, जो आत्म-सम्मान और अधिकारों के लिए संघर्ष करते हैं। सांभरिया के साहित्य में अंबेडकर के विचारों और "शिक्षा शेरनी का दूध है" जैसे मूलमंत्र की झलक मिलती है। उनकी कहानियाँ दर्पण के बजाय दीपक के रूप में कार्य करती हैं, जो समाज को प्रगति और सुधार की दिशा में प्रेरित करती हैं। सांभरिया आर्थिक, राजनीतिक, सामाजिक और सांस्कृतिक विषमताओं को चुनौती देते हुए साहित्य में नए मानवीय और सामाजिक मूल्यों को स्थापित करते हैं। उनकी कहानियाँ ग्रामीण परिवेश की पृष्ठभूमि में मानवीय संवेदनाओं और सामाजिक वास्तविकताओं को प्रस्तुत करती हैं, जो पाठकों को हर दृष्टिकोण से जोड़ती हैं।

In the Nikolaevka-1 quarry (53°05’17.45»N, 158°21’26.28»E), sequence of ash horizons buried in lake sediments formed about 100 thousand years ago were found. Analysis of the composition of volcanic glasses from these tephra allows us to identify for the first time three Late Pleistocene tephras of Avachinsky volcano (21/23, 21/4 and 21/10). In addition, tephra DS7 from one of the centers of the Karymsky volcanic cluster, with an age of about 107 thousand years, was discovered. The stratigraphic position of the Avachainsky volcano tephras, relative this tephra DS7, allows us to state that tephra 21/10 formed slightly less than 100 thousand years ago, while the other two (21/23 and 21/4) are older than 100 thousand years. Estimates of the minimum volumes of material, ejected during these eruptions, make them comparable to most historical eruptive events at this volcano, and the eruption 21/4 — to the most powerful eruption during 20th century, the 1945 eruption.

Authors: Basmacı Göksel
Published: December 2024

Dünya üzerindeki en büyük siyasi, ekonomik ve teknolojik güçlerden olan Çin Halk Cumhuriyeti sahip olduğu kültürel değerleriyle de dikkat çekmektedir. Günümüzde söz konusu güçlerini diğer ülke halklarına aktarmak için çeşitli girişimlerde bulunan Çin, medya gücünden yararlanmakta ve küresel ölçekte etkin olabilecek kurumlarını faaliyete sokmaktadır. Ülkelerin yumuşak güçleri arasında değerlendirilen medyayı önemseyen Çin, özellikle de siyasi ve ticari ilişkilerinin yoğun olduğu ülkelere yönelik çeşitli adımlar atmaktadır. Gazete, radyo, sinema ve televizyon gibi geleneksel kitle iletişim araçlarına yatırımlar yapan Çin günümüzde dijital mecralara yönelik de girişimlerde bulunmaktadır. 2016 yılında Çin’in küresel medya kuruluşu olarak faaliyet göstermeye başlayan China Global Television Network (CGTN) bu bağlamda öne çıkan bir kurum olarak değerlendirilebilir. 2023 yılında CRI Türk’ün yerine Türkiye’de yayına başlayan CGTN Türk Çin’in Türkiye’deki önemli araçları arasında görülmektedir. Buna istinaden araştırmada CGTN Türk’teki haber kategorileri yumuşak güç bağlamında analize tabi tutulmuştur. Çalışmanın amacı Çin’in Türk medyasındaki güncel girişimlerinden olan CGTN Türk’ün etkili bir yumuşak güç aracı olup olmadığını saptamaktır. Araştırma Çin medyasının Türkiye’deki etkisini ortaya koyması nedeniyle öneme sahiptir. 1-7 Temmuz 2024 tarihleri arasındaki 660 haberden rastgele seçilen 33 içeriğin incelenmesiyle sınırlandırılan çalışmada niteliksel içerik analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Bu doğrultuda yürütülen çalışmanın sonucunda CGTN Türk’ün Türkiye konulu içeriklere ağırlık verdiği ve Türkiye’ye ilişkin çeşitli konularda gündem oluşturabilecek nitelikte haberler yayımladığı saptanmıştır. Ayrıca haberlerin ağırlıklı olarak Türkiye ile Çin ilişkileri bağlamında kurgulandığı görülmüştür. Söz konusu bulgulardan hareketle CGTN Türk’ün önemli bir yumuşak güç aracı olabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır.
