Modeling a Time Study of the United States Consumer Price Index from 2014 to 2023
Authors: Oyinloye Paul O
Published: September 2024

This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) over a ten-year period 2014 to 2023. The CPI, a critical measure of inflation, reflects the average change in prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of goods and services. This study will explore the intricate relationships between CPI and key economic variables, including unemployment levels, interest rates, and the sales index, using time series data and multiple regression analysis. The research identifies significant predictors of CPI and evaluates the extent to which these factors influence price levels in the U.S. economy. The findings reveal a strong positive correlation between CPI and interest rates, indicating that as borrowing costs increase, the CPI tends to rise correspondingly. Conversely, a negative relationship is observed between CPI and unemployment levels, suggesting that higher unemployment rates are associated with a decrease in CPI, possibly due to reduced consumer spending. The study also examines the sales index, finding a weaker yet notable relationship with CPI, which underscores the complex dynamics of consumer behavior and price levels. The analysis highlights the limitations of CPI as a comprehensive measure of the cost of living, pointing out its lack of significant correlation with real income and population growth. The study concludes that while CPI is an essential tool for measuring inflation and informing monetary policy, it may not fully capture the economic realities faced by the population. These insights suggest the need for policymakers to consider additional factors when using CPI to make informed decisions about economic policy and social welfare programs among the U.S. population.

Поняття та межі адміністративно-правового забезпечення
Authors: Ковальський В. В.
Published: September 2024

Метою дослідження є визначення поняття адміністративно-правового забезпечення та окреслення його меж. Необхідність дослідження цієї тематики, головним чином, пов’язана з тим, що адміністративно-правове забезпечення, будучи основоположним терміном науки адміністративного права, не має усталеного консенсусного розуміння серед наукового співтовариства. Обсяг цього поняття нерідко стає розмитим через невизначеність ключових ознак адміністративно-правового забезпечення. Це може призводити до непорозумінь на рівні наукового опрацювання адміністративно-правового аспекту тих чи інших суспільних відносин. У ході дослідження використаний комплекс методів наукового пізнання, основу якого склали методи абстрагування, аналізу та синтезу. У результаті дослідження обґрунтовано, що адміністративно-правове забезпечення слід розуміти як діяльність держави та органів місцевого самоврядування з упорядкування суспільних відносин, які охоплюються предметом регулювання адміністративного права, шляхом законодавчого закріплення правил поведінки їх учасників та процедур забезпечення примусового дотримання цих правил для якомога більшого їх наближення до цілей законодавства та державної політики у відповідній сфері суспільних відносин. Натомість, автор дійшов висновку про те, що поза межами адміністративно-правового забезпечення лежать 1) інституційна основа реалізації відповідних норм права, тобто, система адміністративних органів, повноваження яких включають у себе реалізацію державної політики у відповідній сфері; 2) ступінь упорядкованості (ефективності) суспільних відносин, який є результатом їх правового забезпечення; 3) діяльність уповноважених адміністративних органів у практичній площині щодо реалізації норм адміністративного права. Підкреслено, що реалізація норм права є можливою лише за наявності правового поля та вона скоріше не створює правові умови для оптимального розвитку правовідносин (не упорядковує суспільні відносини), а забезпечує їх відповідність нормам права у площині реального життя, будучи складовою механізму адміністративно-правового регулювання. Стаття має теоретичний характер.

Authors: Yıldız Ramazan
Published: September 2024

The aim of this study is to determine the efficiency values of the Republic of Turkey State Railways (TCDD) in national and international freight transportation between 2010 and 2019. Additionally, the study aims to identify the years in which the company operated more efficiently, process this information, and provide reference years and recommendations to relevant institutions.Since railway investment costs are very high, the efficient use of resources is of great importance. This study is significant in terms of guiding the efficient use of railway resources. Moreover, the use of different input and output variables over a specific time period distinguishes this study from other scientific research, as it incorporates both national and international data. For efficiency measurement, output (tonne-kilometres) and input variables (amount of freight transported, main line length, and number of freight wagons) were used, following the relevant literature. The data used in the research were obtained from the activity reports of TCDD and the Turkish Statistical Institute. DEAP (Data Envelopment Analysis Program) software, based on Productivity Time Analysis, was used to analyze the research data. As a result, the average efficiency in national railway freight transport decreased by 1.8%, while the average efficiency in international railway freight transport decreased by 22.4%. The reference year for both types of transport was 2010. Although efficiency in international railway freight transport showed partial improvement in certain years, it generally exhibited a continuous downward trend.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE TERRITORY PLANNING PROJECT FOR THE PURPOSE OF INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Badmaeva Sof'ya , Ryzhakova Aleksandra
Published: September 2024

Land use in urban areas has been undergoing significant changes in recent years. The practical implementation of Law No. 494-FZ on the integrated development of urban areas, adopted in 2020, faces difficulties of both an objective and subjective nature. Public authorities continue to improve the mechanism of integrated development of territories on an ongoing basis for the successful implementation of the project. Amendments are made in respect of those territories whose borders have not been established and, accordingly, are not displayed on the urban zoning map.
Often, the integrated development of territories is understood as the reconstruc-tion or demolition of dilapidated emergency housing, whereas this concept has a much broader meaning. In areas free from dilapidated housing, it means the design and construction of not only modern residential premises, but the construction of the entire infrastructure, starting from schools, kindergartens, clinics, pharmacies, etc.
Territories and residential neighborhoods have been established on the territory of Krasnoyarsk, which fall into the zone of integrated development. Solving prob-lems related to the implementation of this project is relevant.
Mediating effect of ambiguity tolerance in automated writing evaluation research model
Authors: Xue Yi
Published: September 2024

In light of the advancement of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) technology-empowered automated writing evaluation (AWE) system represents a revolutionary paradigm at the forefront of mobile assisted English learning (MAEL). Numerous empirical studies have been carried out to test the efficacy of automated writing corrective feedback in writing assistance. However, it has seldom been investigated from the cognitive stance of AWE technology enhanced embodied learning. Embodied cognitive linguistics intensifies that learning experience is enhanced in the process of conceptualizing the empirical world. Therefore, the current study explores technology characteristics and individual characteristics incorporating the psychological construct of ambiguity tolerance. Emanating from psychology, ambiguity tolerance describes people’s preponderance to manage uncertainties and unpredictable challenges in the learning process. This study utilized the partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) method to analyze 679 valid questionnaire responses via SPSS 29 and SmartPLS 4. The results elucidated that the AWE research model incorporating the technology acceptance model (TAM model), task technology fit model (TTF model), and individual characteristics could predict the user’s adoption of AWE software in the completion of writing tasks. Moreover, ambiguity tolerance functions as an effective mediator in the GenAI technology-empowered automated writing evaluation research model. This study provides technical implications for AWE developers to design AWE software suitable for individual characteristics. Future research could combine qualitative research methods with multivariant statistical approaches to meticulously investigate the interaction of literacy cultivation and emotional intelligence in the utilization of AWE technology for academic purposes in the GenAI era.

Legal Certainty of Specific Time Work Agreements (PKWTT) Against Outsourced Labor Based Outsourcing Law Number 6 of 2023 concerning Determination Government Regulation in Lieu of Law Number 2 of 2022 Concerning Job Creation Becoming Law
Authors: Mellan Noviani  , Jum Anggriani
Published: September 2024

Outsourcing is the use of labor from a third party for certain parts of work in a company. In terms of Human Resources or worker management, the Government continues to make improvements through regulations with the aim of maintaining the stability of relations between business actors and workers. One of them is Job Creation Law Number 11 of 2020 which regulates outsourcing with no limitations on the scope of work that can be outsourced. This changes some of the provisions of Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning employment. Perppu Number 2 of 2022 in conjunction with Law Number 6 of 2023 concerning Ratification of Perppu Number 2 of 2022 concerning Job Creation, where the cluster that regulates employment is newly regulated in this Law, including regarding outsourcing and/or outsourcing with revoke the provisions of the Job Creation Law Number 11 of 2020. In Law Number 6 of 2023 concerning Ratification of Perppu Number 2 of 2022 concerning Job Creation, it is emphasized that outsourcing is regulated more specifically through Government Regulation (PP) Number 35 of 2021 concerning Specific Time Work Agreements, Outsourcing, Working Time and Time Rest, and Termination of Employment. So this creates legal loopholes and uncertainty as per the constitutional rights of citizens regarding welfare rights and as in Article 28 paragraph 1 and paragraph 2. Every person has the right to work and receive fair and decent compensation and treatment in the employment relationship.

This study deals with the free vibration of the sandwich microplate with the core made of functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composites (FG-CNTRC) and magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) face sheets. The governing equation of the microplates is derived by using the refined plate theory (RPT) with two variables and the modified strain gradient theory (MSGT). The Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) basis function of the isogeometric approach (IGA) is used for the approximation of the displacement and electric and magnetic fields of the microplates. The paper studies the effect of the length scale parameters (LSPs), CNTs distributions, CNTs volume fraction, magnetic and electric loads and geometry on the vibrational frequency of the MEE sandwich microplate.
Implementing Sobol's Global Sensitivity Analysis to SFRC's Flexural Strength Predictive Equation
Authors: Le Tran T. H. , Le Anh-Thang
Published: September 2024

Steel fibers are essential for SFRC since they strengthen the material’s resistance to bending and cracking stresses and guarantee its endurance. However, the uncertainty of input parameters such as concrete compositions and steel fibers causes the stochasticity of flexural strength. The study uses big data to analyze the influence of fibers and other concrete compositions on the flexural strength properties of SFRC. For this purpose, the study focuses on developing predictive models for SFRC flexural properties based on a comprehensive database comprising two hundred and seven experimental results recorded by seventeen researchers. Bayesian Model Averaging is employed to identify significant components that influence the overall flexural strength and to develop a predictive flexural strength model. Monte Carlo simulation generates big data by utilizing the probability distribution of input variables and the predictive flexural strength model. The study used Sobol’s global sensitivity analysis method to assess various input parameters’ sensitivity to SFRC flexural strength based on the generated database. The impact order of input variables on the flexural strength is identified, as determined by the Sobol’ Indice.

Published: September 2024

The work examines modern approaches to the assessment of corruption risks in three blocks: aggregated indices, expert assessments, and surveys of the opinion of the public and business representatives. The conducted analysis of each indicator in the context of its advantages and disadvantages and sources of collected information are displayed and systematized in tabular form. It is noted that it is not possible to make cross-country comparisons for all indicators due to the small sample of some of them, the indirect relationship of certain indicators to corruption risks, the subjectivity of surveys or the imperfect methodology of their construction, which is only gradually improving. The work uses methods of comparative analysis and visualization using VOSviewer, which made it possible to cluster the topic of corruption, to demonstrate in a visual form the key researchers of this phenomenon by surnames and countries of origin. Reasonable advantages of the flexibility that today's wide palette of existing indicators provides to scientists to deepen and combine them in the direction of a specific study, as well as to develop their own indices and methods for assessing corruption risks on a global scale. The development of a universal indicator for the assessment of corruption risks is predicted for the future.

Published: September 2024

During the war, threats to national security related to illegal financial transactions with the aggressor country, circumvention of sanctions, fraud in the distribution of investment and humanitarian aid, earmarked funds for the reconstruction of destroyed infrastructure, and new schemes for legalizing dirty money are becoming more acute. Therefore, the study of the risks of illegal financial transactions at the regional level in Ukraine is a primary step towards understanding the specifics of corruption, identifying the main factors that shape them, and developing targeted measures to overcome them. To analyze corruption risks in the regions of Ukraine and the city of Kyiv, this article uses a base of 10 indicators covering key aspects of financial support, economic activity, public opinion, trust in government, and digital transformation to provide a holistic picture of regional security and development. Clustering by the level of corruption risk, which was implemented using Kohonen's self-organizing maps, allowed to identify 4 groups of Ukrainian regions with similar characteristics: Cluster 1 (Vinnytsia, Lviv and Ternopil regions) – regions with a high level of development and medium corruption risks; Cluster 2 (Volyn, Dnipropetrovs'k, Donetsk, Zhytomyr, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kharkiv, Khmelnytskyi and Chernihiv regions) – regions with an average level of development and moderate corruption risks; Cluster 3 (Zakarpattia, Kirovohrad, and Rivne regions) - regions with an average level of development and problems in governance; Cluster 4 (Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Luhansk, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Poltava, Sumy, Kherson, Cherkasy, Chernivtsi regions and the city of Kyiv) – regions with high corruption risks. The implemented clustering facilitates the development of individualized and targeted anti-corruption strategies for each group of regions. The results of the study allow us to focus anti-corruption efforts on the most problematic areas and develop targeted programs to effectively reduce corruption risks.

The article is devoted to the investigation of the relationship between innovation and cyber security in the context of forecasting and reducing risks related to cyber security during the implementation of innovations. The purpose of the study is to confirm and model the interconnection between the levels of innovation development and cyber security of the country. The work describes the concept of innovation risk and the importance of cyber security in the modern world as one of the important factors in overcoming innovation risks. The current state of cyber security was analysed based on various indices, and the impact of cyber threats on innovation processes was investigated based on a sample from 26 countries of the world. This made it possible to identify leaders and outsiders in this field, as well as trends in the development of cyber security in dynamics. It is well-founded that cyber security is a key factor for the development and implementation of innovations. To confirm the existing relationship between cyber security and innovation, the multiple correlation coefficient was calculated, and an econometric model was built using the built-in functions of MS Excel (the estimation of the model parameters was carried out using the method of least squares using the built-in "Data Analysis" package of the MS spreadsheet editor Excel for a multivariable linear model). The significance of the model was confirmed by the coefficient of determination, Fisher's test, and the level of significance of the p-value. The results of the study can be used to develop effective cyber defence strategies and contribute to the stable development of technologies in the face of growing cyber threats.

Published: September 2024

The purpose of this study is to analyze and classify the main schemes of organized and transnational cybercriminal activity, as well as to identify the methods and technologies used by cybercriminals to carry out criminal activities in the digital space. The article explores current trends in cybercrime, such as the rise in financial fraud, ransomware attacks, phishing, and DDoS attacks. The study shows that the use of the latest technologies, particularly cryptocurrencies and the Internet of Things (IoT), significantly complicates the detection and prosecution of cyber criminals, necessitating the constant improvement of legal and technical tools to combat cybercrime. Key findings indicate that the transnational nature of cybercrime often makes it difficult to prosecute criminals across jurisdictions, requiring greater international coordination. It was also found that cybercriminals are using increasingly sophisticated methods to conceal their activities, incorporating modern technological solutions into criminal schemes. This underscores the need for continuous monitoring of new threats and the updating of protection methods for both organizations and individual users. The main conclusions of the study emphasize the importance of global cooperation in the fight against cybercrime, the need to enhance technological protection, and the development of legal mechanisms to counter modern cyber threats.

Authors: Aroca Cifuentes Francisco Javier , Herranz Aguayo Inmaculada
Published: September 2024

Este artículo indaga en los posibles efectos socioeconómicos de la pandemia sobre la juventud española. Para ello se establece una comparativa entre las tasas de desempleo y la carencia material del total poblacional —grupo de control—, y la población juvenil durante los últimos años. El análisis se efectúa a partir de datos secundarios —EPA y ECV, elaboradas por el INE—, teniendo en consideración también el componente territorial a nivel de comunidades autónomas. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto que la juventud es más vulnerable a los efectos de la pandemia que el total poblacional, ya que presenta unas tasas superiores de desempleo y carencia material, del mismo modo que las tasas de paro y AROPE son más elevadas en las regiones del sur. De ahí la importancia de promover políticas de empleo que tengan en consideración las peculiaridades del territorio y se centren en disminuir la precariedad juvenil.

Objective: The relationship between Covid-19 and smoking is controversial. In this study, our aim was to determine the association between smoking and hospitalization duration and to demonstrate how smoking habits change following COVID-19 disease.
Methods: This prospective cohort study conducted on patients hospitalized at pandemic services of a university hospital between 01.10.2020-30.11.2020. Sociodemographic variables and smoking habits were assessed through a face-to-face interview. Individuals who were still smoking were contacted by phone six months after discharge, and their smoking habits were re-evaluated.
Results: Total of 373 patients were included in the study with average age of 63.0±15.0.and 175 (%46.9) were female. Of the participants, 192 (51.5%) had never smoked, 148 (39.7%) had quit smoking, and 33 (8.8%) were still smokers. Length of hospitalization of smokers, never-smokers and quitters were not statistically different. There was no statistically significant difference in terms of worsening status be-tween smokers, ex-smokers and never smokers. Of the total 33 current smoker, 10 (33.3%) quit smoking and did not start again, 13 (43.3%) quit smoking but started again, and 7 (23.3%) did not quit smoking at the follow up.
Conclusion: In our study, it was observed that smoking did not affect the course of COVID-19 disease and length of stay. Also, history COVID-19 can affect smoking habits and may lead to smoking cessation.
Dynamic Adjustment: The Transformation of Trilateral Relations between China, the United States and Latin America (1949-2023)
Authors: Jiang Meijie
Published: September 2024

This paper examines the transformative dynamics of the trilateral relationship between the United States, China, and Latin America from the 1950s to the present. Through the lens of national role theory, it explores how the national roles of these actors have shifted in response to geopolitical, economic, and ideological changes. The study is structured chronologically, analyzing distinct periods that mark the evolution of this trilateral dynamic. It delves into the historical evolution of roles and interactions, policy shifts, and strategic calculations to offer insights into the complexities of trilateral relations. The paper contributes to the literature by highlighting the interplay between self-perceived national roles and external expectations, and it provides a nuanced perspective on the challenges and opportunities inherent in navigating the multifaceted interactions between the US, China, and Latin America. The research aims to enhance understanding of the broader geopolitical trends and regional dynamics that have influenced the trajectory of these relations, offering implications for global politics, regional stability, and economic development.
Analyzing the Blue Economy Potential of Pakistan’s Maritime Sector

Published: September 2024

The maritime economy is an important contributor to the economies of the countries. Pakistan, with more than 1000 km of coast, has a huge repository of sea resources and is located on a very important trade route. Its geo-sectoral location provides easy and short sea access to China, Afghanistan, and the Central Asian Republics. However, the continuous neglect of the maritime sector has resulted in the depletion of the sector, which was once thriving at a rapid pace. The lack of awareness of the maritime economy, depleting infrastructure, untrained human resources, and lack of effective policies are the contributing factors that have prevented the full potential of this sector from being exploited so far. The development of ports, the shipping industry, fisheries, and coastal tourism are the areas that can significantly contribute to the GDP of the country and provide livelihood to people. There is a dire need for the government to pay full attention to this sector and start investing in this ignored area for its revival, ultimately enabling it to contribute significantly to the economic development of the country.

In the modern period, the level of the Caspian Sea water surface is rapidly decreasing, which creates significant problems for the population and economy of all countries of the Caspian region. Therefore, improvement of the methods for forecasting its further changes is an urgent problem of hydrology, meteorology and ecology. It is generally accepted that the main reasons for the current decline in the Caspian Sea level are the influence of anthropogenic factors and climatic changes on the dynamics of its water balance components. A significant component of the incoming part of this balance is the amount of precipitation falling in the territory of the Caspian basin. One of the methods used for forecasting the Caspian Sea level is multiple regression analysis. The validity of the forecasts obtained with its help depends on the significance of the relationships between the studied process in the future and the factors monitored in the present and in the past that are taken into account in their development. The article assesses the significance of statistical correlations between interannual variations in the average monthly background levels of the Caspian Sea and the dynamics of precipitation amounts in its basin, as well as its changes during the period of modern climate warming. The ERA 5 reanalysis information was used as factual material on precipitation. Information on the levels was obtained from literary sources. It was found that in the period of 1979-2021 the conclusion on the significance of the relationships under consideration was characterized by the reliability of at least 0.95 only if the changes in precipitation amounts corresponded to May. As the time shift between the analyzed process and this factor increases from 0 to 36 months, their correlation remains positive and significant, but slightly weakens. During the period of modern climate warming, the revealed correlation also became weaker, which allows us to doubt its significance even in the near future. There were also identified the Caspian basin areas for which, on the contrary, the considered relationship strengthened during the same period. It implies that the probability of the scenario in which they remain significant in the future is higher than that of other scenarios. Therefore, it is reasonable to take the identified relationships into account when forecasting changes in the average level of the Caspian Sea.

The most acute problem of pasture watering is bound to one of the arid regions of the Republic that is Central Kazakhstan. Under the current conditions, groundwater plays a significant role in providing high-quality drinking water resources. Conservation of surface flow in underground aquifers in arid and semi-arid areas of Central Kazakhstan is of great importance. For the first time in the practice of watering pastures in the foothills and hilly areas of Kazakhstan, the process of creating underground reservoirs based on low-power flows of underground fissure-groundwater is studied. The result of this study is a substantiated and developed concept scheme for creating watering structures on pastures based on artificial groundwater recharge (creation of mainly small underground reservoirs) in the hilly areas of Central Kazakhstan (Sary-Arka pasture).
