Dominating the Superpower: A Bounded Rationality Approach to Nuclear Proliferation and Inhibition in the U.S. / North Korea Dyad
Authors: CANBOLAT Sercan , DYSON Stephen Benedict
Published: September 2023

Why was the United States, despite its overwhelming superiority in power, unable to prevent North Korea from developing nuclear weapons? Why did North Korea persist in its nuclear pursuit in the face of U.S. opposition? In this article, we represent nuclear proliferation and counter-proliferation as situations of subjective strategic interaction between states. We measure preferences over strategies and outcomes using operational codes of the leaders of each country, derived via linguistic analysis. Our results indicate that neither the U.S. nor North Korea accurately understood the other side’s preference ordering, and that their operational codes interacted in such a way as to produce an outcome favorable to North Korea – the weaker party - and unfavorable to the U.S. – the stronger. The wider contribution is to show that (mis)perceptions of the goals and resolve of the opponent play a crucial role in the success or failure of strong states to compel weak states and vice versa.

Published: September 2023

The rise of urbanization and industrialization has led to an increase in pollution, posing serious risks to human health and the environment. Consequently, the development of advanced pollution monitoring systems has become crucial for efficient pollution control and management. This abstract introduces a cutting-edge pollution monitoring system based on the Internet of Things (IoT), which incorporates health critical gas indexing to provide real-time and precise information about air quality. The proposed system utilizes IoT technology to create a network of interconnected sensors installed in various locations within cities or industrial areas. These sensors are designed to measure the concentration of pollutants such as carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), and ozone (O3) in the surrounding air. The collected data is wirelessly transmitted to a central monitoring station for analysis and visualization. To assess the health risks associated with measured pollutant levels, a health critical gas indexing algorithm is employed. This algorithm considers pollutant concentrations and their corresponding health effects based on established air quality guidelines and standards, calculating an index value that indicates the overall health impact on the exposed population. The monitoring system provides real-time updates and alerts to relevant stakeholders, including government authorities, environmental agencies, and the public. Accessible through a userfriendly web or mobile application, the data and index values empower users to make informed decisions regarding outdoor activities, pollution mitigation measures, and health precautions. Compared to traditional monitoring approaches, the IoT-based advance pollution monitoring system with health critical gas indexing offers several advantages. It provides a comprehensive and accurate assessment of air quality by considering the specific health risks posed by different pollutants. Its real-time nature enables prompt actions and interventions to mitigate pollution levels, safeguarding public health and the environment. Furthermore, the availability of data empowers policymakers and researchers to analyze trends, identify pollution sources, and develop targeted pollution control strategies. In conclusion, the proposed IoT-based advance pollution monitoring system with health critical gas indexing represents a significant advancement in pollution monitoring and management. By leveraging IoT technology and incorporating health-related considerations, the system enables effective and proactive pollution control measures, leading to improved air quality and overall well-being of the population.

Изделия из кожи появились в истории человечества раньше текстиля — это была одежда и предметы труда первостепенной значимости. Актуальность использования кожи в разных сферах жизни человека не снижается и до наших дней, но это уже скорее предметы роскоши, среди которых важное место занимают аксессуары. Аксессуары изготавливаются либо полностью из кожи, либо имеют кожаные элементы. Значимость аксессуаров как деталей костюма и быта была в истории человечества не только утилитарной. Помимо прямого назначения как вещей первой необходимости (кошели, сумки, чехлы, пояса, обувь и пр.) они всегда обозначали и социальный статус владельца. Технологии выделки кожи уходят в глубину веков. Они столь совершенны, что при относительно удовлетворительном хранении кожаные изделия нередко доходят до наших дней в достаточно приемлемом состоянии. В то же время очень много предметов нуждается в восстановительных работах, поскольку главный враг кожаных изделий — вода или влажные условия хранения. Для наиболее оптимального процесса реставрации необходимо приблизиться к историческим технологиям, позволяющим воспроизвести или реконструировать процесс выделки и обработки кожи. В данной работе представлена европейская старинная технология работы с кожей, которая позволила решить ряд проблем в реставрации аксессуара.

Leather products appeared in the history of mankind before textiles — and these were clothes and objects of labor of paramount importance. The relevance of the use of leather does not decrease to this day — and these are more likely luxury items including accessories. Accessories are either entirely made of leather or have leather elements. The importance of accessories as elements of costume and in everyday life was great in the history of mankind, as apart from being essentials (bags, covers, belts, shoes, etc.) they always denoted the social status of the owner. Leather tanning technologies go back centuries; with relatively satisfactory storage they often reach our days in a fairly acceptable state. At the same time, a lot of items require restoration, since the main enemy of leather products is water or wet storage conditions. For the most optimal restoration process, it is necessary to approach historical technology that allows restorer to reproduce or reconstruct the process of leather tanning and processing. This work presents an ancient European technology for working with leather, which made it possible to solve a number of issues in the accessory restoration.

What Can the Gates in the Villages of Bashkiria Tell About? Gate Decoration as an Act of Expressing Personal Identity
Authors: Riazanova E. F.
Published: September 2023

В статье анализируется трансформация строительства деревенских ворот в Республике Башкортостан с 1960 г. до наших дней. Автором использовались такие научные методы как полевое этнографическое наблюдение и неформализованное интервью с местными жителями. Актуальность данной статьи заключается в том, что в связи с появлением новых строительных материалов башкирское деревянное зодчество постепенно утрачивается. Основной задачей исследования было стремление выяснить, почему для жителя башкирского села так важно декорировать экстерьер ворот и дома. Какую функцию несут в себе ворота? Автор приходит к выводу, что ворота являются не только архитектурной постройкой, но и средством выражения персональной идентичности башкир.

This article analyzes the transformation of the village gates construction from 1960 to the present day in the Republic of Bashkortostan.

The author’s main task was to find out why it is so important for a resident of a Bashkir village to decorate the exterior of the gate and the house. What is the function of the gate? The author comes to the conclusion that the gate is not only an architectural structure, but also a means of expressing the personal identity for the Bashkirs.
Духоборцы в Лифляндии: жизнь в ссылке и освобождение
Doukhobors in Livonia: Life in Exile and Release
Authors: Inikova S. A.
Published: September 2023

Статья посвящена изучению истории ссылки представителей секты духоборцев в Лифляндскую губернию на о. Эзель и в Динаминдскую крепость в конце XVIII в. Документы, извлеченные из архивов России, Эстонии и Украины, позволяют всесторонне показать ссылку как репрессивную меру, широко использовавшуюся государством в XVIII в. для решения проблем, связанных с религиозным инакомыслием. На примере духоборцев рассмотрены все этапы применения ссылки, начиная от совершения преступления, которое заключалось в антицерковных и антигосударственных высказываниях, в организации «сборищ», совращении в духоборческую веру православных, и последующей деятельности российской пенитенциарной системы. В статье показаны экономические и бытовые стороны жизни ссыльных духоборцев, особенности их поведения, взаимоотношения с местным начальством. Автор обратил внимание на те аспекты законодательства и правоприменительной практики, которые были нацелены не только на наказание, но и на исправление и возвращение вероотступников в лоно православной церкви, игравшей важную роль в этом процессе.

The article is devoted to the history of the Doukhobor sect members’ exile to Livonian province, to the Ezel island (nowadays Saaremaa) and to the Dynamind Fortress in the late 18th century. The documents from the archives of Russia, Estonia and Ukraine comprehensively show exile as a repressive measure, widely used by the state in the 18th century to solve problems related to religious dissidents. The study uses the example of the Doukhobors to examine all stages of exile, starting with the crime itself, which consisted in anti‑church and anti‑state statements, organization of gatherings, seduction of Orthodox Christians into the Doukhobor faith, and then subsequent activities of the Russian penitentiary system. The article describes the economic and daily life of the exiled Doukhobors, their behavior, and their relations with the local authorities. The author highlights those aspects of legislation and law enforcement practices, which were aimed not only at punishment, but also at the reformation and return of apostates to the bosom of the Orthodox Church, which played an important role in this process.
Апокрифические сюжеты в фольклоре старообрядцев Забайкалья на рубеже XX – XXI веков
Apocryphal Stories in the Folklore of the Old Believers of Transbaikalia at the Turn of the 20th–21st Centuries
Authors: Kushnareva L. L. , Buraeva S. V.
Published: September 2023

В статье выявлены взаимосвязи устной и книжной традиций в фольклоре старообрядцев Забайкалья на рубеже веков, раскрывается связь фольклорных произведений с апокрифической литературой, рассматривается устное бытование апокрифических сюжетов у старообрядцев. Поскольку «Богодуховные» книги в духовной жизни семейских играли большую роль, велико было влияние книжных (письменных) источников и на устное народное творчество. В них семейские находили ответы на все свои житейские вопросы, оправдания или порицания своим поступкам, объяснения многим запретам и правилам. Поэтому фольклорная культура семейских испытывала постоянное влияние книжной христианской литературы. Авторами рассматриваются формы бытования апокрифического произведения «Сон Пресвятой Богородицы» в фольклорной традиции семейских, структура текста и его содержание, исследуются сюжеты/мотивы духовных стихов, которые сохранились и продолжают свое бытование в устных народных легендах и апокрифических произведениях на рубеже XX–XXI вв. в старообрядческих селах.

The article reveals the relationship between oral and written traditions in the folklore of the Old Believers of Transbaikalia at the turn of the century and the connection between folklore and apocryphal literature and examines the oral existence of apocryphal stories among the Old Believers. Since the religious books played a large role in the spiritual life of the family, the influence of written sources on oral folk art was also significant. They provided answers to all the everyday questions, excuses or censures for their actions, explanations for many prohibitions and rules. Therefore, the folklore culture of Semey people was constantly influenced by Christian literature. The authors analyze the forms of existence of the apocryphal work “The Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos” in the folklore tradition of Semey, the structure of the text and its content, the plots/motives of spiritual poems that had been preserved and continued to exist in oral folk legends and apocryphal works at the turn of the 20th — 21st centuries in the Old Believers’ villages.

Everyday unnatural events such as trauma, accidents, military conflict, disasters, and even medical malpractice create open wounds and massive blood loss, which can be life-threatening. Fractures and large bone defects are among the most common types of injuries. Traditional treatment methods usually involve rapid hemostasis and wound closure, which are convenient and fast but may result in various complications such as nerve injury, deep infection, vascular injury, and deep hematomas. To address these complications, various studies have been conducted on new materials that can be degraded in the body and reduce inflammation and abscesses in the surgical area. This review presents the latest research progress in biomaterials for bone hemostasis and repair. The mechanisms of bone hemostasis and bone healing are first introduced and then principles for rational design of biomaterials are summarized. After providing representative examples of hemostatic biomaterials for bone repair, future challenges and opportunities in the field are proposed.

Authors: Yan Ranran , Zhang YuShi , Li YongZhi , Wang JiaPing , Bibi Hajira , Deng Yu-Lin , Li YuJuan
Published: September 2023

Dragon’s blood (DB) has shown a protective effect on neurological diseases. Microgravity (MG) or simulated MG (SMG) can induce blood–brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction, which is a characteristic feature of neurological disorders. This study’s purpose was to evaluate the effect of DB on SMG-induced BBB dysfunction and explore its signaling pathway. Both DB and vitamin C (Vc) were administered orally for tail-suspended rats within 3 weeks. DB and Vc solutions were added to human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HCMEC/D3) cells, which were then exposed to SMG for 24 h. The protective effect of DB was assessed by hematoxylin and eosin and Nissl staining, ultrastructure observation, and permeability in rats. Cell apoptosis and the distribution of tight junction (TJ) and adherens junction (AJ) proteins and filamentous actin (F-actin) were examined in HCMEC/D3. The oxidative stress and inflammation, and TJ and AJ protein expressions were determined in rat brain and HCMEC/D3. The focal adhesion kinase (FAK) signaling pathway proteins were determined. DB protected SMG-induced rat BBB disruption by improving neuronal apoptosis, repairing widened intercellular space, and decreasing BBB permeability. DB effectively relieved SMG-induced HCMEC/D3 damage by inhibiting cell apoptosis and restoring F-actin spindle distribution. High doses of DB upregulated TJ and AJ protein expressions and decreased oxidative stress and proinflammatory cytokine levels in rat brain and HCMEC/D3. DB enhanced the expressions of FAK signal transduction proteins and F-actin/globular actin (G-actin) ratio in rat brain and HCMEC/D3, suggesting that DB promotes actin cytoskeleton polymerization, benefits the endothelial cell–cell and cell–extracellular matrix adhesion, and, in consequence, contributes to BBB integrity.

While the purpose of education according to al-Ghazali is an effort to form a perfect human being by getting closer to Allah so that he will get happiness in the world and the hereafter. This can be achieved through several aspects which include cognitive, affective and psychomotor aspects. The similarity of the criteria for teachers from both perspectives, namely between Plato and Al Ghazali requires teachers to always do good, be diligent in worship because teachers are role models for their students. While the difference in the criteria for teachers from Plato's and Al Ghazali's perspectives is that Plato is more inclined so that teachers are able to master several criteria that prioritize cognitive aspects and position themselves as friends. Meanwhile, Al Ghazali is more inclined for teachers to prioritize affective aspects. So that teachers are expected to have characteristics that can bring happiness to the world and the hereafter and teachers must behave like parents to children. Al Ghazali also believes that a teacher must instill sincerity, sincerity, and not demand an honorarium as a teaching assignment.

This study explains the quality of e-government in population service in Bandung City. E-Government is an activity or activity utilizing tools in the form of information technology in helping implement a government system so that it can run more efficiently. However, e-Government  are still not running optimally. The theory used in this study is the e-Government Quality (e-GovQual). This study uses a qualitative descriptive research method. The data sources used are primary data and secondary data. As well as data collection techniques carried out by researchers, namely observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Based on the research that has been done, it is concluded that the quality of e-government at the Bandung City Population and Civil Registration Office is still not running optimally, indicated by data leaks and cybersecurity systems that are not yet qualified and services that can only be accessed via Android. Also, the features in the application cannot be used in real-time, but are opened only if there are human resource (HR) constraints in e-government management, which are also still very limited.

Tujuan artikel ini adalah untuk mengetahui pemberdayaan masyarakat yang dilakukan oleh Pemerintah Desa Cipacing pada kelompok pengrajin sekaligus mengetahui apakah pemberdayaan tersebut mampu menciptakan ketahanan ekonomi di masa pandemi Covid-19. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data observasi, wawancara mendalam, dan dokumentasi. Masalah penelitian difokuskan pada kelompok pengrajin Desa Cipacing yang terdampak pandemi Covid-19 sehingga banyak yang mengalami gulung tikar. Di sisi lain, terdapat dana desa yang diprioritaskan untuk membiayai pemberdayaan masyarakat atas dasar kondisi dan potensi yang dimiliki desa. Namun, apabila melihat dari kondisi kelompok pengrajin yang banyak mengalami gulung tikar, maka alokasi dana desa menjadi sebuah permasalahan. Penelitian ini menggunakan acuan teori pemberdayaan masyarakat oleh Wrihatnolo dan Dwidjowijoto dan teori ketahanan ekonomi oleh Briguglio. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa selama pandemi Covid-19 berlangsung, Pemerintah Desa Cipacing belum dapat memberikan pemberdayaan masyarakat terutama pada kelompok pengrajin, sebab telah ada kebijakan mengenai dana desa yang dianggarkan khusus untuk pencegahan dan penanganan Covid-19, BLT, dan program ketahanan pangan. Untuk menciptakan sebuah ketahanan ekonomi, maka kelompok pengrajin berinisiatif membentuk sebuah kegiatan yakni Lembur Tohaga Lodaya dan Kelompok Usaha Bersama (KUBE) Medal Harapan Jaya. Dalam hal ini pemerintah desa mendukung penuh atas kegiatan tersebut dengan memfasilitasi kemudahan perizinan, agar secara legalitas organisasi dapat terjamin kelangsungan kegiatan usahanya.

La colitis granulomatosa crónica secundaria a tuberculosis es una manifestación inusual de la tuberculosis extrapulmonar. Esta entidad patológica es muy difícil de identificar, ya que la mayoría de sus síntomas son inespecíficos, resultando en un diagnóstico tardío, teniendo en cuenta que la enfermedad es curable y prevenible.

Caso: hombre de 42 años de edad con cuadro de dolor abdominal en fosa iliaca derecha con intensidad 6/10. Al examen físico se encontró dolor a la palpación en fosa iliaca derecha, con dolor leve a la palpación profunda sin signos de irritación peritoneal. Los paraclínicos no mostraban signos de infección local o diseminada, pero el estudio histopatológico reportó colitis crónica por mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Discusión: la tuberculosis intestinal, es la sexta causa de infección extra pulmonar, ubicándose en la mayoría de oportunidades en la región ileocecal, las manifestaciones clínicas son fiebre, fatiga, pérdida de peso y dolor abdominal, el manejo se hace con medicamentos antituberculosis por un periodo de seis meses en promedio, con posterior mejoría médica y remisión endoscópica.

The brown cocoa mirid, Sahlbergella singularis Haglund, a major insect pest of cocoa in Nigeria, could cause 80% loss in yield. Fecundity, morphometries and developmental biology of the insect were investigated by a new rearing technique. The first rearing phase involved transfer of 20 day old nymphs collected from field cocoa pod into rearing chamber equipped with regulated conditions of relative humidity (90 ± 5%) and temperatures (22 – 24°C) while the second phase was carried out oil sleeved pods on the cocoa trees under natural conditions. Each of the life stages was isolated, measured and described. Nymphal instars were separated on the basis of the cast off exuviae. The life cycle from egg to adult lasted an average of 41.1 days while the average egg incubation period was 14.1 days (31.3% of the total developmental time). There were five nymphal instars with total mean duration of 27 days. There were significant differences in the body morphometries of each of the life stages (P<0.05) for body length, abdominal width and antennal length. The sex ratio of male to female was 1:1.03. The potential fecundity of S. singularis was 42.20 ± 4.96 eggs per female from dissected gravid females whereas the mean actual fecundity from mated females was 37.90 ± 3.09 eggs per female. This study has made available homogenous populations of S. singularis. The indepth knowledge of biology of the pest acquired here will assist in the future development of efficient and ecologically sound management strategies for its control

A survey of the major cotton growing zones in 10 locations in Adamawa State of Nigeria, revealed the presence of Cylas puncticollios Boh, (Coleoptera:Brentidae) on cotton farms both in the rainy and dry seasons on cultivated and ratoon cotton. Cylas has been in existence at Ngurore the hot -spot zone, for more than 9 years. The average number on cultivated cotton varied from 0.0 at Sangere to as high as 36.9 at Ngurore during the rainy season, while on ratoon, numbers ranged from 0.0 at Sangere to 9.0 at Ngurore per 5 plants, respectively. Cylas puncticollis diapauses as adult in the stem of cotton in order to survive the harsh weather to the next planting season. More numbers were recorded at 75% boll formation of cotton than at square formation.
