Ancient Epic Poetry
Authors: Rüpke Jörg , Bianchi Mancini Sofia
Published: November 2024

Epics are the oldest written long texts in many languages. They claim to recount fundamental events and seek to give validity to their version through formal composition. This volume provides an overview of Greek and Latin epic poetry from Homer to Late Antiquity. But above all it asks: How were they made audible? Who wanted to read or listen to them? And how did this change the texts? The professionalisation of such great works also led to competition, outbidding, but also to parody or condensation of the texts. This book is the first to provide a broad and coherent overview from such a perspective.

Jörg Rüpke was Professor of Classical Philology at the University of Potsdam from 1995 to 1999 and Professor of Comparative Religious Studies at the University of Erfurt from 1999 to 2008. Since 2008 he has been Fellow of Religious Studies at the Max Weber Centre in Erfurt.

Sofia Bianchi Mancini studied Classics at the University of Wales Trinity St David and completed her doctorate at the University of Erfurt in 2021. Since 2021 she is a postdoctoral researcher, working on 'Divine Property: Late Antiquity and Medieval Solutions' at the Max Weber Centre in Erfurt.

Authors: Hršelová Pavla , Toman Jiří , Buriánek David , Všianský Dalibor
Published: November 2024

Chromian illite-magnesite-dolomite-quartz rock (listvenite-like) containing Ni-Co mineralization was found in the Svratka orthogneisses from the Dřínová quarry. The main rock-forming minerals are Fe-rich magnesite, Fe-rich dolomite, Cr-illite and quartz, less frequently calcite. Accessory minerals include chromite (with 0.841–0.886 apfu Fe2+ and 1.642–1.742 apfu Cr), gersdorffite-cobaltite (Ni0.45-0.92Fe0.01-0.34Co0.01-0.34As0.83-1.02Sb0.00-0.03S1), sulfides (pyrite, sphalerite), and apatite. The illite from the Dřínová quarry contains up to 3 wt. % of Cr2O3. Presence of the Cr-illite, accesory chromite, and Ni-Co sulfoarsenides represents origin from ultrabasic protolith, reflecting transformation to phyllosilicatecarbonate-quartz listvenite.

Психологические механизмы влияния на профессиональное самоопределение молодежи в Республике Дагестан
Authors: Ж.А. Сулаева , С.А. Ибрагимов
Published: November 2024

в статье рассмотрены ключевые психологические механизмы, влияющие на процесс профессионального самоопределения молодежи. Особое внимание уделено социальным факторам, влиянию ценностных ориентаций, процессам формирования идентичности и самооценки. Описаны эмоциональные и когнитивные механизмы, а также роль личностных характеристик и типов темперамента в выборе профессии. Понимание данных механизмов помогает осознать, как молодежь принимает карьерные решения, и способствует успешной профессиональной ориентации. Рассмотрены пути поддержки молодых людей в процессе самоопределения для повышения их удовлетворенности карьерой и жизни. Самоопределение требует осознания собственных сильных и слабых сторон, интересов и склонностей. Это осознание формируется на протяжении всего периода взросления и включает в себя самооценку, анализ личных успехов и неудач, рефлексию своего опыта. Чем более развита саморефлексия, тем более осознанным становится процесс выбора профессии. Для успешного профессионального самоопределения необходимо, чтобы внутренняя мотивация совпадала с внешними стимулами. Если молодые люди выбирают профессию исключительно на основе внешних факторов (престиж, высокий доход), это может привести к разочарованию и низкой удовлетворенности профессиональной деятельностью в будущем.

the article examines the key psychological mechanisms influencing the process of professional self-determination of young people. Special attention is paid to social factors, the influence of value orientations, the processes of identity formation and self-esteem. Emotional and cognitive mechanisms are described, as well as the role of personal characteristics and types of temperament in choosing a profession. Understanding these mechanisms helps to understand how young people make career decisions and contributes to successful professional orientation. The ways of supporting young people in the process of self-determination to increase their satisfaction with their career and life are considered. Self-determination requires awareness of one's own strengths and weaknesses, interests and inclinations. This awareness is formed throughout the entire period of growing up and includes self-assessment, analysis of personal successes and failures, and reflection on one's experience. The more self-reflection is developed, the more conscious the process of choosing a profession becomes. For successful professional self-determination, it is necessary that internal motivation coincide with external stimuli. If young people choose a profession solely on the basis of external factors (prestige, high income), this can lead to disappointment and low satisfaction with professional activities in the future.

Authors:   Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology, Bermingham Rowena
Published: November 2024

Over 1,100 experts have shared with us their concerns about COVID-19 and COVID-impacted areas in the immediate and longer term future. This report outlines concerns about international affairs. Experts are concerned about how the Coronavirus outbreak might affect relations between countries, as suppression strategies drift. This could create international tensions and lead to a rise in populism. There are also concerns about how criticism of the UK response might impact the the country's global position. Experts are also concerned about a lack of international cooperation. They worry that the UK will not consult evidence from other countries. They note that there is a general need for greater data sharing between countries to coordinate the response. Other areas of concern include international economy, trade and development. There are fears of a global recession and concerns over the lack of a unilateral response from the G20 and WTO. Low- and middle-income countries are also likely to be further impacted by the outbreak, as contributions to international development funds drop or are re-directed to COVID-19. Finally, experts are concerned about international travel and migration. There is uncertainty about what the effects of the outbreak on international travel will be and experts are concerned about impacts on migrant and seasonal workers. They are also concerned about the health of refugees and a potential increase in refugee numbers in the long-term, due to geopolitical instability.

Conductivity Estimation of Metallic Tubes Using Ferrite Core Horizontal Probe with Eddy Current Method
Authors:   Babol Noshirvani University of Technology, Alshareefi Ruaa ,   EDDYWISE NDT, Shamgholi Maryam ,   Babol Noshirvani University of Technology, Abbasi Majid
Published: November 2024

Conductivity evaluation is crucial for monitoring the condition of metallic tubes during inspections and for assessing their service life. Eddy current testing (ECT) is a precise, non-contact method used for this purpose. Industries such as aerospace, power generation, and petrochemicals rely on precise condition monitoring, which requires a deep understanding of the relationship between conductivity variations and probe impedance of metallic tubes. However, experimental analysis of conductivity changes using coil impedance has limitations in terms of cost and complexity. Encircling coil methods provide overall information about the average conductivity of specimens but have limited ability to capture local variations such as hot spots. To address these issues, we propose using a finite element method (FEM) based approach to predict a ferrite core horizontal probe signal near non-ferromagnetic tubes. The probe data can be used to estimate conductivity through regression methods, and the impact of lift-off on ECT results is also investigated.

The highlighted findings are how the EXAVER test is used within the UV, and so the participants’ reasons to use the EXAVER certificate. The analysis also showed that the EXAVER is considered a test that evaluates English language skills accurately since the participants would take it again and some of them have taken it more than once.
Designing a Human Resource Management System for Performance Assessment using Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scales (BARS) for Operators at PT. Polyland Indoteknik Bandung
Authors: Tanoni Erlin Ribka , Saputra Bobby W.
Published: November 2024

Employee performance appraisal is a crucial aspect of enhancing organizational productivity and effectiveness. This research aims to develop a more robust performance appraisal system for factory operators at PT. Polyland Indoteknik Bandung employs the Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scales (BARS) method. Through an analysis of the existing appraisal system, this study found that the sole use of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) is insufficient to measure complex behavioral aspects. Therefore, BARS is proposed as a more comprehensive method. The designed BARS system incorporates specific behavioral indicators relevant to the job of factory operators. Additionally, this research outlines an implementation strategy involving socialization, integration with existing systems, feedback provision, and periodic evaluation. The results indicate that BARS can improve the quality of performance appraisals and provide more constructive feedback to employees.
Reiner Schürmann
Authors: Dastur Françoise , Cox William , Moore Ian Alexander ,   DePaul University
Published: November 2024

Translators’ abstract: This article considers the concept of originary dissension in Reiner Schürmann’s . The ultimate conditions of experience are natality and mortality, which universalize and singularize respectively. These conditions are in originary dissension with one another in the sense that they cannot be resolved into a unified whole. But natality institutes the universal precisely by denying the mortal singular. Recognizing and sustaining the originary dissension therefore requires prioritizing mortality over natality.
“An Eschatological Kantianism”
Authors: Carchia Gianni , Schneider Nicolas , Guercio Francesco , Moore Ian Alexander ,   DePaul University
Published: November 2024

Translators’ Abstract: In this introduction to his Italian translation of Reiner Schürmann’s , Gianni Carchia offers a short yet incisive interpretation of the compelling originality of Schürmann’s reading of Heidegger. Carchia points out that, contrary to much Heidegger literature, Schürmann insists on a three-tiered temporal difference rather than on a simple dichotomy between beings and being as the driver of the deconstruction of metaphysics, and it is only through this distinction that the an-archic as the evental and ahistorical origin of being comes into view. What this displacement affords is a certain historicization of Heideggerian philosophy that brings out the anarchic, polymorphous, and protean nature of being and restores to acting its spontaneity and innocence. Observing that this anti-humanist naturalization of an-archy may indeed be closer to Eugen Fink’s cosmology, which grants autonomy to the extra-human, than to Heidegger’s history of Dasein, which confines us to “the prison of the human,” Carchia locates the contribution of Schürmann’s work in its deconstruction of the Idealist remnant in Heidegger.
The species in paleoanthropology
Authors: TATTERSALL Ian
Published: November 2024

The species is the basic unit of analysis in systematic paleontology. Yet, for most of its history the subfield of paleoanthropology has lacked any coherent concept of what fossil species are, using the species epithet variously at different times – most recently, with the conspicuous effect of minimizing apparent diversity among the hominins. The application of molecular systematic techniques to the analysis of high-latitude early Homo sapiens Linnaeus, 1758 and its contemporaries thus offers a welcome opportunity to reappraise our approaches to species recognition in the rapidly expanding hominin fossil record. But it must be cautioned that evidence for hybridization among documented or hypothesized lineages cannot necessarily be taken as evidence for recoalescence among them, and that “braided stream” models of hominin evolution (which militate against speciation) cannot ­account for the diversity of historically and morphologically differentiated entities we see in that record.
Mathematical Model of Counteract Bandits Terrorism in Nigeria
Authors: O Akpienbi Isaac , Jude Iroka
Published: November 2024

This paper explores a mathematical model for analyzing the dynamics of banditry and terrorism, focusing on equilibrium states and stability conditions. Key concepts include the reproduction number Rb, which serves as a threshold parameter indicating the potential for spread or decline of these activities. The study finds that a banditry-free equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable when Rb < 1, suggesting that the activities will decline over time. In contrast, Rb>0 indicates the possibility of globally stable coexistence equilibrium, where banditry and terrorism persist at endemic levels. The model also identifies invariant regions, ensuring that the system's trajectories remain within certain bounds, and guarantees unique and positive solutions, essential for real-world applicability. These findings provide critical insights for developing comprehensive strategies to mitigate banditry and terrorism, highlighting the importance of addressing both root causes and immediate symptoms

The method used in this research is validation conducted by media experts and material experts, which shows that this media can be applied properly. The validation results from material experts were 91% and 97%, while validation from media experts showed a percentage of 68% and 81%, which means that the developed product is feasible to be applied in the learning process. The use of interactive media such as Wordwall games is very important to improve student understanding and make learning more interesting. Suggestions for improvement from media experts related to aspects that can increase student attractiveness, such as the use of consistent colors and clear instructions or covers. It is hoped that this learning media can create learning that is more interactive, effective, and interesting and in accordance with student needs.
Cognitive Hegemony: The True Objective of Russia’s New Active Measures
Authors:   Babeș-Bolyai University, Rădulescu Bogdan-George
Published: November 2024

The traditional tactics of Soviet destabilization have evolved under Putin’s leadership, taking on new and more insidious forms. Russia’s ongoing commitment to the Soviet-era strategy of "active measures"—now employed in subtler ways—remains central to its foreign policy objectives. A destabilized West is less likely to focus on Moscow’s political and geopolitical transgressions, or on its military actions that openly challenge the liberal international order. This article examines the covert aspects of Russia’s political warfare aimed at undermining Western stability. The Kremlin’s priority of fracturing solidarity within the European Union and weakening transatlantic relations—especially in light of the unified economic sanctions imposed on Russia by the U.S. and EU over its aggressive war against sovereign Ukraine—compels Russian security agencies to adapt their "active measures" to new global realities. We explore key tactics and strategies employed by Russia in its covert confrontation with major Western institutions, such as the EU and NATO. Ultimately, we aim to deconstruct how the Soviet concept of "active measures" and the notion of "political warfare" have become nearly synonymous, fitting within the broader and evolving framework of "hybrid warfare."
The Threat of Algorithmic Populism: Intelligence Strategies for Safeguarding Democracy
Authors:   Babeș-Bolyai University, Rădulescu Bogdan-George
Published: November 2024

The digital age has facilitated unprecedented transformations in communication, reshaping the way political discourse and influence manifest in democratic societies. Among these transformations, algorithmic populism emerges as a significant phenomenon. This concept, defined by the interaction between political actors, online activism, and algorithm-driven amplification, highlights how extremist or populist political messages gain traction in the digital ecosystem. By analysing this dynamic through the lens of intelligence studies, we have tried to identify the risks posed by algorithmic populism to democratic systems and propose strategies to mitigate its impact. The need for intelligence agencies to address these risks is clear, as they represent not only political but also existential threats to the democratic order.

Authors: Ktitorov Maksym , Puhach Anzhelina
Published: November 2024

The article raises the question of the formation of leadership competence of future officers of the NGU in the modern conditions of a complex security environment, the armed aggression of the russian federation against Ukraine, the Euro-Atlantic choice of Ukraine and the modernization of the security and defense sector on the basis of operational interoperability in accordance with NATO standards and procedures. The need to train highly educated, competent, motivated professionals of the security sector, to which NGU belongs, is emphasized, whose success is determined by professionalism, adaptability, mobility and leadership qualities.
Leadership as a multifaceted socio-historical phenomenon is considered on the basis of theories of leadership, which provides an understanding of the essence of influence on subordinates and commanders; peculiarities of preparation and training. The development of military leadership is related to its very purpose and the challenges of the modern security situation.
The significance of the competence approach in the development of the leadership competence of the future officer of the NGU, which is reflected in the new paradigm of military education, is indicated. The figure of a modern military leader at NGU has been updated taking into account a certain model according to the requirements of NGU, in particular, what a leader should be, what he should know and do (perform), his features that ensure the realization of professional competencies. The concept of leadership competence has been updated and the directions of its formation have been clarified.
It is noted that for the formation of the leadership competence of the future officer of the NGU, both existing models of leadership, the experience of Ukrainian higher military educational institutions, and successful practices in the development of military leadership in developed countries are important. In this regard, educational programs on leadership, approaches to the formation of leadership competence at the Kyiv Institute of the National Guard of Ukraine and the National Academy of the US Armed Forces were analyzed.

Published: November 2024

The article is devoted to the topical issues of forming the readiness of future fire training instructors for professional activity with an emphasis on the use of special physical training tools. According to the results of the analysis of scientific-methodical, special and reference literature (monitoring of specialized Internet resources), the members of the scientific research group found that studies that comprehensively reveal the peculiarities of the organization of the system of training future instructors in fire training (including with an accented use of means physical and special physical training) are rare. Taking into account the realities of today, this proves the timeliness and relevance, as well as the practical component of the chosen direction of scientific research.
During the research and analytical work, the organizational and pedagogical conditions for the formation of the readiness of future fire training instructors for professional activity with an emphasis on the use of special physical training tools were adjusted and tested. The organizational and pedagogical conditions developed by the members of the research group were implemented during three stages: organizational and diagnostic, formative and constant (with appropriate educational, methodological and technical support). For the first time, with the use of modern scientific tools, indicators at the level of the biomechanical control subsystem were obtained. Prospects for further research in the chosen direction of scientific intelligence include the development of a methodology for the formation of military applied skills (techniques) of shooting with automatic small arms of recruits of the National Guard of Ukraine at the initial stage of primary military professional training.

Published: November 2024

La integración de proyectos multidisciplinarios de ingeniería en el currículo universitario ha ganado relevancia como estrategia clave para desarrollar habilidades de colaboración y resolución de problemas complejos en los estudiantes. Este artículo examina la implementación de enfoques curriculares que incorporan proyectos interdisciplinarios, destacando los beneficios y desafíos de su aplicación en programas de ingeniería. La introducción aborda la educación en ingeniería, donde se identifica una creciente demanda de competencias integrales, como la capacidad de trabajar en equipos multidisciplinarios y aplicar el conocimiento en situaciones reales. La metodología incluye un análisis exhaustivo de estudios recientes y experiencias de distintas instituciones educativas que han implementado proyectos integradores, evaluando los enfoques pedagógicos, herramientas y tecnologías que facilitan esta práctica. Los resultados del análisis muestran que los proyectos multidisciplinarios no solo mejoran el aprendizaje técnico, sino que también potencian habilidades de comunicación, liderazgo y adaptabilidad en entornos cambiantes. Se identifican las mejores prácticas para la integración curricular, incluyendo la colaboración entre facultades, el uso de tecnologías colaborativas y la participación de la industria. Se destacan también algunos desafíos, como la coordinación entre diferentes áreas del conocimiento y la evaluación de competencias blandas y técnicas en proyectos complejos. La discusión final aborda los impactos potenciales de estos enfoques en la empleabilidad y preparación profesional de los estudiantes, y ofrece recomendaciones para futuras implementaciones en el currículo de ingeniería. Concluimos que la integración de proyectos multidisciplinarios representa una estrategia educativa prometedora para responder a las demandas de un entorno laboral cada vez más interconectado y tecnológico.
Protección del Paisaje Natural de La Maná, Ecuador, a través de la Utilización de Materiales Tradicionales de Construcción del Sector
Authors: Molina Ruiz Víctor Elías , Becerra Martínez Marcelo Alejandro
Published: November 2024

Este estudio, a través de un diseño cuasi-experimental, comparativo y transversal, evaluó 112 viviendas en el cantón La Maná para determinar las razones por las cuales la caña guadua, un recurso local abundante, no es ampliamente utilizada en la construcción a pesar de sus potenciales beneficios. El diagnóstico inicial reveló que en la zona urbana de La Maná, el hormigón armado es el material predominante en las edificaciones, siendo importado en su mayoría. A pesar de esto, el análisis comparativo demostró que la construcción con guadua ofrece ventajas significativas en términos de costo y menor impacto ambiental. Sin embargo, factores culturales arraigados, como la percepción de menor durabilidad y resistencia al fuego, han limitado su adopción. Los resultados sugieren la necesidad de implementar políticas públicas y programas de capacitación para superar estas barreras y promover el uso de la guadua como una alternativa sostenible y económica en la construcción.
MY SEXUAL HARRASSMENT ESSAY – #METOO?

Published: November 2024

The current controversies swirling around Hollywood in particular are a reminder, if any were needed, of just how damaging the use of sex through and as power can be, by intimidating those exposed to its horrors. Even if we exclude the notorious era of the studios’ “casting couches,” sexual scandals have abounded across the history of the industry. They are virtually all about men harassing women, as are the stories emerging today.

NOW A MAJOR TV SERIES: AN ODE TO TELEVISION TIE-INS

The original line of this opening was: ‘It might seem odd to devote a television blog to books’; however, following Billy Proctor’s blog last week it now feels almost like bandwagon jumping. For me, though, the two media have always been closely intertwined. The first and most obvious connection is the huge role the literary adaptation has played in the history of television drama output, here in Britain at least.

A year ago Elke Weissmann wrote about finding time for television, and discussed that when we actually find that limited time in our day to sit down and watch television, we do not actually watch television. Instead we watch a specific programme, whether on DVD or on-demand, and are often prone to binge watching these programmes.
