Authors: Puspita Hery Indria Dwi , Rudianto Rudianto , Yasim Ahmad , Nuruzzaman Abdullah
Published: February 2025

Fishing boats are one of the essential means of transportation for fishers. In Puger, fishing boats are crafted by traditional boat builders who have passed down their skills through generations. However, the effectiveness of the bow stem design of these fishing boats remains unknown. This research aims to analyze the impact of the bow stem shape on the resistance and stability values of the boat. This research utilized an outrigger fishing boat design with the following dimensions: a length overall (LOA) of 11 m, a beam (B) of 1.5 m, a height (H) of 1.5 m, and a draft (T) of 0.5 m. We compared the boat's original design and its modified bow design. The results of this study indicate that the modified design has a 16.327% lower resistance. Regarding stability, the modified design shows a 12.7% greater GZ (upholding arm value) and a 2.1% smaller heel compared to the initial design. Additionally, the modified design has a rolling period that is 5.8% faster than the original design. The modified design has better resistance and stability than the initial design.

Authors:   Novosibirsk State University, Shaliapina A.
Published: February 2025

The work is devoted to the study of the features of voice speakers in the context of complex psychological and linguistic research. The aim of the study was to develop an approach to the identification of closely related announcers in phonoscopic expertise on the basis of a complex psychological and linguistic analysis of speech features. It has been hypothesized that personality traits predominate over other anthropological factors in speech. For the pilot study there were chosen couples of sib­lings as informants. The design of the experiment included the formant analysis method for obtaining numerical parameters informants’ voices, the TCI-140 test for characterizing the per­sonality traits, and multidimensional covariance analysis 2B-PLS to identify implicit connections between the results of the two above-mentioned analysis methods. As a result, there was devel­oped a design of an experiment, which could be used for complex study of speech and personality features. The next step this ex­periment will be work with mixed sibling pairs.

Stylistic Features of Sports Media Text (based on the Internet Publications about Hockey)
Authors:   Kazan (Volga region) Federal University, Yamaletdinova K.
Published: February 2025

The article is aimed to study modern sports media discourse, namely, the stylistic features of media text about hockey. We an­alyzed the Internet publications of the Minnesota Wild hockey club (N=60) and Internet comments (N=10) to them. Using the method of continuous sampling, we selected expressive and emo­tional posts (N=38). Linguistic and comparative analysis of the data made it possible to differentiate the means that increase the expressiveness of the media text; phonetic, grammatical, graph­ic and lexical means were revealed. The most frequent is the use of stylistically colored vocabulary (71.05%). Graphic means is one of the modern trends in sports media, in particular, the use of emojis (10.52%). Phonetic means (7.89%) contribute to the creation of rhythm, making text perception easier. Blending has a significant spread (7.89%) in sports discourse. The authors claim that it is advisable to study the Internet publications in the field of sports in line with discursive research, since the immersion of the text in life allows to interpret textual information and reveal the unique genre features of sports as an important social phenomenon.

Authors: Hadi Zaid L. , Essa Mohammed Sh. , Chiad Bahaa T.
Published: February 2025

Copper tin sulfide (CTS) thin films were deposited on glass substrates using the spray pyrolysis technique. The solution mixture was sprayed onto the glass substrate at 310°C. The CTS thin films have a monoclinic crystal structure based on XRD analysis. FTIR confirmed Cu, Sn, and S chemical bonding, whereas the Scherrer formula predicted nanoscale particle size. The AFM analysis revealed a surface roughness measurement of 42 nm. Substrates coated with CTS film showed uniformity, which revealed the coated surface shape and design. A precise measurement of the substrate temperature was made. EDX confirmed Cu-Sn-S composition. For solar collector applications, thin films deposited in CTS were treated with a blue laser source with a 405 nm wavelength.

Authors: Younus Marwan Hafeedh , Ameen Odai Falah , Ahmed Muayad Abdullah , Kassim Yaser Yahya
Published: February 2025

In this work, a single-mode endless photonic crystal fiber (PCF) is proposed and theoretically analysed using the empirical relationship method. The designed PCFs are composed of three uniform rings of air holes arranged in a circular shape. Three samples of fibers (PCFsPure, PCFsdoped1 and PCFsdoped2) with the same structure but are only different in the material of core have been investigated. The guiding properties of PCFs are studied in terms of effective refractive index, confinement loss and dispersion profile. The numerical results show that the PCFsdoped2 exhibits good properties such as high refractive index, low confinement loss and red shifting in the zero dispersion compared to other samples. A red shifting in the zero dispersion, achieved in this study, may be important to generate the soliton fission. Moreover, all the designed PCFs perform a negative dispersion at higher d/Λ, which are used to obtain the coherence supercontinuum generation spectrum. The designed PCFs in this study can be used in the transmission of optical signals using different types of materials in the core structure of PCFs.
Sensing Properties Of WO3 /Pd Thin Films Deposited On Porous Silicon Substrates Using Pulsed Laser Deposition
Authors: Abed Mayada A. , Mutlak Falah A-H.
Published: February 2025

The current research examines the distinct sensitivity displayed by WO3/Pd films prepared using the Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD technique using a porous silicon substrate (PS). Tungsten oxide impregnated with palladium (WO3/Pd) films are created for the purpose of sensing Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) by employing PLD with different laser pulse energies of 600, 800, and 100 mJ). The ablation process utilizes a laser device that uses a Q-switched Nd:YAG crystal to produce high-intensity light pulses that are precisely 1064 nm in wavelength. A frequency of 1 Hz and a pulse duration of 10 ns characterise the laser system. It operates upon an n-type Si (111) substrate made of porous silicon. Field emission-scanning electron microscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Raman scattering are used to examine the morphological features, optical structure, and crystal structure of the WO3/Pd NPs. When the pulse laser's power grows, the WO3/Pd thin film has sharper peaks, suggesting a strengthening of the crystallinity. The size of the surface grains increased, and this prompted a corresponding increase in the energy gap. As a result, the level of homogeneity was enhanced. The study examines how Pd affects the rate at which nanoparticles of tungsten trioxide grow. A more sensitive response is observed when Pd was present, decrease the operating temperature of the nanoparticles, and keep the sensitivity high even when the temperature is room temperature.
Investigating a Filtered Feedback Weight in the Output Signal to Simulate a Self-learning Layer in an Optical Neural Network
Authors: Madhloom Dhuha Raad , Hemed Ayser A. , Khorshed Suha Mousa
Published: February 2025

An edge-emitting semiconductor laser (SL) source with a wavelength of 1310 nm is used experimentally to follow a transmitted signal that is subject to selected modifications. SL maximum measured optical power was -11 dBm at a temperature of 24oC, which is configured as a chaotic influencer semiconductor laser (ISL) in a unit of an optical neural network. The weight of the sent signal, after division, is controlled by two uniform Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) with slightly different periods. In addition, the feedback strength is changed by two radio frequency attenuators. The passing signal via these two filters is detected and summed again before being directly modulated and re-injected to the ISL again via the bias current. The results confirm a variable chaotic FWHM and bandwidth as a function of applied parameters. Emission for selected strengths is controlled by radio frequency attenuators after the power division. For each opto-electronic feedback (OEFB) branch, a noticeable difference in Fourier space is noted in addition to time and phase spaces.Results indicate a large variation in the calculated number of spikes (4268 to 71330) and also in the calculated FWHM (0.80991-10.5928) MHz This indicates the possibility of deriving the SL in a different number of quantum states by introducing filtered chaotic dynamics. Generalizations for the effect of optical weights, achieved in this study, open the door to increasing the processing speed in the processing units of computers and self-learning terms in robots.

Authors: Abdulghani Shahad Emaduldeen , Adnan Qusay Abbas , Ali Omar Abdulsada
Published: February 2025

In this work, the effect of aluminum (Al) dust particles on the DC discharge plasma properties in argon was investigated. A magnetron is placed behind the cathode at different pressures and with varying amounts of Al. The plasma temperature (Te) and density (ne) were calculated using the Boltzmann equation and Stark broadening phenomena, which are considered the most important plasma variables through which the other plasma parameters were calculated. The measurements showed that the emission intensity decreases with increasing pressure from 0.06 to 0.4 Torr, and it slightly decreases with the addition of the NPs. The calculations showed that the ne increased and Te decreased with pressure. Both Te and ne were reduced by increasing the content of aluminum dust.

Published: February 2025

Objetivo: Relatar e comparar métodos contraceptivos (progestágenos), seus tipos e vias de administração relacionando-as com incidência de osteopenia. Detalhamento de caso: Trata-se de um relato de caso, onde uma paciente de 34 anos, em seguimento devido a NIC 2/3, sem fatores de risco de fraturas, sem comorbidades, em uso de prolongado (14 anos), de acetato de medroxiprogesterona. Devido a este fato, foi investigado osteoporose por meio de densitometria óssea. Obteve-se como resultado da densitometria, osteopenia, isso se deve principalmente devido ao hipoestrogenismo causada por uso prolongado de progesterona isolada, causando então um bloqueio no eixo, levando em consideração que o estrogênio tem efeito protetor de massa óssea, por inibir sua reabsorção. Outros Fatores de risco evidenciado também são, estilo de vida, como sedentarismo e alimentação copiosa. Considerações finais: Considera-se que uso de progestagenos isolados, em específico uso injetável é um grande fator de risco para desenvolvimento de osteoporose. Porém o mesmo não acontece com progestágenos via oral ou implantes.

Authors: Marcondes Paola Bicudo , Godoy Isabella Fonseca Agatti , Costa Gustavo Carvalho , Leão Mariella Vieira Pereira
Published: February 2025

Objetivo: Investigar uma possível associação entre a Miastenia Gravis (MG) e a Síndrome de Good (SG), visto que alguns pacientes podem manifestá-los simultaneamente e ambos têm envolvimento com o sistema imunológico. Revisão bibliográfica: Os artigos selecionados destacam o papel central do timo tanto na competência quanto no controle imunológico, sugerindo que a conexão entre SG e MG está principalmente relacionada às alterações tímicas presentes na SG, que contribuem para uma desregulação imunológica, levando à produção de anticorpos anti-receptor de acetilcolina (anti-AchR), característicos da MG.Essas alterações no timo são associadas a uma resposta imunológica inadequada, onde células T e B podem interagir de forma anômala, favorecendo a autoimunidade. Além disso, a presença de timomas, frequentemente observados em pacientes com MG, evidenciam a importância desse órgão na gênese da doença. Dessa forma, estudos sobre a interação entre o sistema imunológico e o timo oferecem novas perspectivas para o entendimento da  associação entre SG e MG. Considerações finais: A literatura sugere uma associação entre a MG e a SG. Assim, a SG deve ser considerada em pacientes com o diagnóstico de MG e vice-versa.

Objetivo: Relatar um caso de artrite psoriásica que evoluiu com sarcoidose após uso por sete anos de drogas antagonistas do fator de necrose tumoral (anti-TNF), adalimumabe e, posteriormente, etanercepte. Detalhamento de caso: Paciente feminino, 64 anos, diagnóstico de artrite psoriásica, fez uso de adalimumabe por dois anos e, após falha terapêutica, foi realizado troca por etanercepte, o qual estava em uso há cinco anos. Apresentava poliartralgia recorrente e fadiga persistente. Ao exame físico, artrite de tornozelo esquerdo, distrofia e pitting ungueais. Sem linfonodomegalias palpáveis e lesões de psoríase ativa. Tomografia de abdome evidenciou linfonodomegalias retroperitoneais, sendo optado pela realização de biópsia via laparotomia. Os achados histopatológicos foram de granulomas epitelióides não caseosos e a imuno-histoquímica evidenciou achados consistentes com linfadenite crônica granulomatosa, sugerindo sarcoidose. Considerações finais: Os anti-TNFs são utilizados ​​para tratamento da sarcoidose, entretanto acredita-se que essas drogas não inibem todas as vias de sinalização, resultando assim em rotas de "escape” e, em alguns casos, ocasionando sarcoidose secundária a estas drogas. Apesar de a paciente não apresentar sintomas respiratórios e lesões cutâneas granulomatosas, devemos ficar atentos à possibilidade de sarcoidose induzida por anti-TNF.

Organizational Design of Big Data and Analytics Teams
Authors: Hammerström Lennart
Published: February 2025

Although many would argue that the most important factor for the success of a big data project is the process of analyzing the data, it is more important to staff, structure and organize the participants involved to ensure an efficient collaboration within the team and an effective use of the toolsets, the relevant applications and a customized flow of information. A main challenge of big data projects originates from the amount of people involved and that need to collaborate, the need for a higher and specific education, the defined approach to solve the analytical problem that is undefined in many cases, the data-set itself (structured or unstructured) and the required hard- and software (such as analysis-software or self-learning algorithms). Today there is neither an organizational framework nor overarching guidelines for the creation of a high-performance analytics team and its organizational integration available. This paper builds upon (a) the organizational design of a team for a big data project, (b) the relevant roles and competencies (such as programming or communication skills) of the members of the team and (c) the form in which they are connected and managed.
The Art of Living is Living with the Art; Is it Essential that Bapedi People Are Able to Live with and Embrace the Past? Yes, Definitely
Authors: Lebaka Morakeng Edward Kenneth
Published: February 2025

For many centuries, music has been used in different indigenous African religious rituals as part of communal and personal religious rites. In the Bapedi society, songs accompany every phase of the divination process and, also any other task which they perform communally, for example, ancestor veneration. The purpose of this study was to investigate how Bapedi traditional healers and their trainees create imprecatory songs, as well as their societal value. The main questions the study addressed are: a) how do Bapedi traditional healers create imprecatory songs; and b) what is the societal value of these songs in the Bapedi culture. The study used a naturalistic approach and the methods of data collection were video recordings of cultural and religious rituals, interviews and observations. The study has revealed that in the Bapedi society like in other African societies, narratives in imprecatory songs can be classified broadly into three, namely: segmental narrative; incremental cycle and multiple recycle forms. The results have also shown that Bapedi imprecation songs serve various functions such as education, upholding and promoting morals and customs through advice, insults and mockery. This paper is submitted for consideration for the ICMS XXV, 25th International Conference entitled “Ideas and Research on Recent Issues”; University of Southern California.

In today’s fast-paced, ever-changing labor market, soft skills are in high demand, especially for new graduates. This study examined the impact of soft skills training on youth employment. As the first sample, the quantitative research method was conducted by applying a questionnaire to the students of Gaziantep University Vocational School of Social Sciences in Turkey. As the second sample, a qualitative research method was conducted by selecting HR Managers homogeneously according to the statistical regional classification throughout Turkey and conducting interviews focusing on the soft skills of new graduates. Based on the results of our analysis, 14 required soft skills were identified. In cooperation with European Union countries, a training curriculum was designed using these 14 soft skills. Participants of the training program were randomly divided into control and experimental groups. The experimental group was only included in the soft skills training program. The employment rates of both groups were compared after nine months of follow-up. The findings showed that soft skills training resulted in higher employment rates.. The findings show that soft-skills training resulted in higher employment rates. Based on our findings, we propose that universities design and apply soft-skills curricula for young undergraduate and vocational school students to increase youth employment. Moreover, soft skills development must be considered when designing and conducting training programs for workers in public institutions and companies.

Published: February 2025

Purpose: This study examines the economic growth dynamics of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) economies from 2001 to 2023, focusing on the roles of natural resources, institutional quality, human capital, and macroeconomic stability.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The research employs the Pooled Mean Group (PMG) estimation method to analyze the short- and long-term impacts of various factors on economic growth within the GCC region.
Findings: The results reveal that natural resources provide short-term economic benefits but hinder long-term growth, highlighting the need for diversification away from resource dependence. In contrast, improvements in institutional quality and investments in human capital have significant positive effects on long-term economic growth and stability. Exchange rate fluctuations are found to negatively impact economic growth in both the short and long run, emphasizing the importance of macroeconomic stability.
Implications/Originality/Value: The findings suggest that GCC countries should focus on reducing their reliance on natural resources by diversifying into sectors such as technology, finance, and renewable energy. Strengthening institutional frameworks through regulatory and governance reforms, coupled with investments in education and innovation, will further enhance economic resilience. Additionally, ensuring exchange rate stability and fiscal sustainability, along with fostering entrepreneurship and regional economic integration, is crucial for maintaining long-term growth. This study provides valuable policy recommendations aimed at achieving sustainable economic development in the GCC region, urging a balanced approach to resource management, institutional improvements, and macroeconomic stability.

Relevance. Many patients after COVID-19 continue to suffer from emotional instability, including anxiety and depression, with a negative impact on physical and mental health. Increased stress and difficulties in restoring emotional balance are exacerbated by the war in Ukraine. Both military and civilian individuals affected by the conflict face a double burden of COVID-19 consequences and war stress, making adaptation difficult and reducing self-regulation abilities.

Objective. To analyze the current state of emotional dysregulation problems in patients with anxiety and depressive post-COVID disorders, the impact of the large-scale invasion as an additional stress factor, and to understand the possibilities of conducting medical-psychological rehabilitation in the context of remote interaction.

Materials and method.: A qualitative and quantitative content analysis and concept analysis was conducted using meta-analyses and systematic reviews of Ukrainian and English-language scientific literature published from January 2019 to September 2023.

Conclusions. Post-COVID syndrome symptoms are caused not only by direct contact with the virus but also by other mechanisms such as stress, social isolation, and economic issues caused by the pandemic. The numerous symptoms and development mechanisms of the syndrome complicate its diagnosis and treatment and require a multidisciplinary approach for providing comprehensive medical-psychological assistance and rehabilitation. In the context of post-COVID syndrome, telemedicine and psychological support have become crucial, providing patients with convenient and accessible means of psychological intervention.

The war significantly increases the levels of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder among civilians and military personnel. The psychological impact of the war adds new challenges to the already complex situation after COVID-19, emphasizing the need for an integrated approach to providing medical and psychological support where the use of remote technologies for mental health support appears critical, as it can provide psychological support to individuals in dangerous or restricted conditions related to the conflict.

The present analysis is motivated by the need to elucidate with more accuracy and sophisticaion the motion of Williamson nanofluid with activation energy and modified darcy law through porous medium over a stretching riga sheet. The problem is modulated mathematically by using the momentum,energy and concentration equations. The nonlinear partial differential equations describe the motion is transformed to nonlinear ordinary dfferential equations by using a suitable transformations. The obtained system of equations with boundary conditions inside the boundary layer are solved semi analytically by using homotopy perturbation method. The velocity, temperature and the concentration of the fluid as well skin-frication, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are obtained as a functions of the physical parameters of the problem. The effects of these parameters on the solutions are discussed numerically and illustrated graphically through some figures. It is found that the parameters play a dramatic role to control the solutions.  For example the velocity increases with increeasing Williamson parameter, permiability parameter and modified Hermann number. On the other hand the fluid temperature increases with increasing both of Brownian parameter and Eckert number. In addition, increasing the activation energy and thermophoresis parameter increases the fluid concentration.
Гніздо «з духом вулика»: Іван Денисюк як співавтор родинно-біографічної саги «Дворянське гніздо Косачів»

The purpose of the article - based on the epistolary material stored in a privatearchive - is to reveal the characteristic features of the creative cooperation of theauthors Ivan Denysyuk and Tamara Skrypka in the process of writing the experimental monograph "Kosach’s Noble Nest". Methods: biographical, genetic,comparative-historical, textual analysis.
Results. The key stages of writing a biographical research have been clarified,the role and contribution of each literary critic has been determined, the searchtrajectory of both scientists has been traced, and the archival source base has beenidentified for the verification of certain facts of the Kosach family life record, theinnovation and scientific uniqueness of the research vision presented in the book has been established. In the theoretical and methodological aspect, those methodical practices and search strategies that are directly related to the interpretation of little-studied empirical material are used. The classic biographical method was used toreveal previously unknown, primarily biographical facts and trace diverse types ofcontact relationships between individual personalities. To trace the development ofthe major conceptual ideas of the analysed work from its initial conception to thecompleted compositional structure, we use the cognitive resources of genetic andcomparative-historical methods. The method of textual analysis is involved in thecritical assessment of individual research findings. The process of transformation ofthe name of the intelligence (from “Kosach’s family saga” to “Kosach’s noble nest”), the stages of the co-author’s experience (joint publication of unknown letters of the writer, an article on establishing Lesia’s authorship of the pamphlet “Evaluation of the “Essay of the Ukrainian Social Democratic Party” and several essays on “Secrets of Zaprudya”). Conclusions. Based on the conducted analysis, it can be concluded that the authors of this phenomenal study managed to grasp the continuity of the spiritual connection of the Drahomanov-Kosach family by involving archival material, family epistolary, and personally collected testimonies of Lesia Ukrainka`scontemporaries and her family members. For the first time, on the pages of the “Kosach’s noble nest”, the fates of all relatives entered the space of scientific understanding, and Olena Pchilka was rightly evaluated in all the multifaceted nature of her figure.

The purpose of this article is to elucidate the cultural-historical, theoretical-methodological, bibliographic, biographical, and receptive significance of IvanOvksentiyovych Denysyuk’s literary and folkloristic works dedicated to the life andcreative path of Olena Pchilka. In line with this goal, the research methodologyemployed elements of cultural-historical, bibliographic, biographical, comparative,hermeneutic, and receptive methods.
As a result of the study, the ideas presented in Ivan Denysyuk’s various worksregarding the significance of Olena Pchilka’s contribution to the development ofnational literature and literary studies, folklore studies, pedagogy, politics, andUkrainian studies as a whole have been summarized, systematized, and analyzed.Special attention is given to the theoretical-methodological foundation of Denysyuk’sscholarly works, particularly the method of dynastic study of the cultural heritage ofthe Drahomanov-Kosach family, with a focus on Olena Pchilka’s role and significance in the family upbringing of gifted children who laid the foundations of Ukrainian aristocracy, formed the core of national identity and elitism, and becamekey figures in the development of our culture.
The article also highlights the shared scientific interests (particularly in the fieldof folklore studies) of Ivan Denysyuk and Olena Pchilka. The literary studies ofDenysyuk, dedicated to the short prose of Olena Pchilka, are analyzed. Acomparative analysis of the cultural-historical context of the works of Ivan Denysyuk and Olena Pchilka is conducted. Conclusions are drawn about the importance of a holistic perception of the axiological judgments regarding Olena Pchilka’s contribution to the development of the Ukrainian cultural process, as presented in various scientific works by Ivan Denysyuk.
