Animales e intercambio: análisis arqueofaunístico de la Aldea San Salvador, período formativo (3000-1000 ap), región de Antofagasta, norte de Chile
Authors: Calás Elisa , Labarca Rafael , Gallardo Francisco , Pestle William
Published: December 2024

Este trabajo se centra en los conjuntos arqueofaunísticos del sitio Aldea San Salvador, adscrito al Período Formativo Medio (ca 2300-2200 cal AP) y ubicado en la terraza sur del río San Salvador, un afluente del río Loa, a unos 1.300 msnm y a más de 100 km de la costa. La muestra de vertebrados se encuentra dominada por peces marinos (principalmente lenguado y jurel), en comparación a camélidos (fundamentalmente guanaco), roedores y aves. El conjunto conquiológico se compone igualmente de taxones marinos, posiblemente utilizados como ornamentos. Más allá de su indudable importancia en la alimentación, destacamos el papel de los animales en las redes de intercambio al actuar estos tanto como entes facilitadores de estas transacciones así como objetos/sujetos de intercambio por sí mismos. De esta forma, habrían colaborado en el acceso a bienes y conocimientos originados en lugares muy distantes, lo que podría haber contribuido a una diferenciación social entre los habitantes de la aldea.
El uso humano de espacios externos en el archipiélago de Tierra del Fuego durante el Holoceno: el caso de Isla de los Estados

Las investigaciones arqueológicas desarrolladas en el archipiélago de Tierra del Fuego se han centrado mayormente en canales y mares interiores mientras que aún persiste un escaso conocimiento sobre el uso efectuado por poblaciones cazadoras-recolectoras-pescadoras de las islas exteriores durante el Holoceno. Dentro de este entorno, Isla de los Estados es uno de los ámbitos que presenta mayor aislamiento geográfico, lo cual plantea condiciones particulares para la colonización y la permanencia humana. Modelos previos proponen que la ocupación tardía de las islas exteriores se habría desarrollado vinculada con sectores interiores mediante la explotación estacional de colonias de aves y mamíferos marinos. Este trabajo presenta una revisión de este problema sumando nueva información generada a partir de prospecciones, excavaciones, fechados y análisis de material arqueológico en Isla de los Estados. A partir de este estudio se observa que las ocupaciones durante el Holoceno tardío, con una recurrencia notoriamente menor a la registrada en otros sectores exteriores del archipiélago fueguino, estuvieron mayormente atravesadas por momentos de abandono en el corto y largo plazo. En el nivel local se identifican diferencias en la intensidad y en la forma de ocupación entre las distintas bahías de la isla. En cuanto a los debates que plantean los vínculos con otros sectores del archipiélago, la evidencia muestra una forma de interacción diferente a la propuesta para otros espacios exteriores, ya sea por la intensidad de las ocupaciones o por su posible carácter estacional.
Pressing Legal Issues of the Social Media Accounts
Authors: Ameen Nazar
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The rise of social media sites has dramatically transformed the humans’ interaction from material shape to digital shape. This dynamic change has helped information to fly and interconnect with enormous number of profiles in a short time. Through these engaging platforms, individuals can easily share information and exchange experiences in almost every aspect of life. These platforms have no limit capabilities in reaching out people, as well as geographical locations. Thus, businesses have started to utilize these social platforms for commercial promotion. The increasingly use of these patterns of social interaction gives rise to certain of legal issues. Yet, the functioning rules of these platforms are not clear. Furthermore, the relations between the users and providers, the users and the content, as well as the users and businesses need legal clarification. Therefore, it is significant that the engagement of individuals is shaped in a proper legal conditioning. This requires thorough analysis and deep-rooted legal examination of the social media policies that govern these platforms, as well as prevailing legislation, whether in Iraq or developed countries, that are pertinent to deal with such issues when arise.

المسؤولية المدنية عن الأضرار الناجمة عن الكلاب السائبة
Authors: بیشو مراد عبدالله
Published: December 2024

ملخص البحث
    أن الأضرار الناشئة عن ظاهرة الكلاب السائبة في العراق يثير التساؤل بشأن المسؤولية المدنية عن هذه الأضرار، لاسيما في ظل القصور في القواعد القانونية المنظمة للمسؤولية عن فعل الحيوان في القانون المدني العراقي. وتوصلنا في هذا البحث إلى أنه ليس هناك مسؤولية على مغذي الكلاب السائبة، ولا مسؤولية على حائز أو مالك الكلاب السائبة الذي تخلى عن كلابه في القانون المدني العراقي، بل الذي يتحمل المسؤولية هو الشخص الذي تحت حيازته أو سيطرته هذه الحيوانات، الأمر الذي يستوجب أن يكون الحيوان مملوكاً لكي يستطيع المضرور طلب التعويض عن أضرار الكلاب السائبة. وفي نهاية البحث تم تقديم مجموعة توصيات للمشرع العراقي والجهات المعنية بهدف القضاء على ظاهرة الكلاب السائبة، وتحميل الجهات ذات العلاقة في الدولة المسؤولية عن أضرارها عند تقصير تلك الجهات، فضلاً عن التوصية بإضافة نصوص جديدة لقيام المسؤولية المدنية عن أضرار الحيوانات السائبة ومنها الكلاب، وإلغاء المواد القديمة المتعلقة بالمسؤولية المدنية عن فعل الحيوانات في القانون المدني العراقي.
الكلمات المفتاحية: المسؤولية المدنية، مغذي الكلاب السائبة، حارس الكلاب، التعويض، الكلاب السائبة.

ملخص البحث
   القانون كعلم من العلوم الانسانية يعتني بتنظيم حياة الانسان، وباموره المختلفة، ونظرًا لتشعب امور الحياة في هذا العصر ولدت فروع مختلفة لعلم القانون، تختص كل واحدة منها بأمر ما كالقانون التجاري، والقانون الجوي، والقانون البحري وغيرها. وبما أن النشاط الرياضي أضحى أمرًا لا مفر منه في المجتمع بل في العالم تَدخل القانون في هذا الأمر لغاية تنظيمه، وأدى ذلك إلى ولادة فرع آخر للقانون سمي القانون الرياضي (sports law). وكما هو معلوم فإن القانون يولد من مصادر متنوعة، وعليه لا يوجد قانون دون وجود مصدر، ومن هنا تختلف مصادر القانون الرياضي، فتعينها أمر سهل ممتنع نظرًا لطبيعته الخاصة، خصوصا انه يعني بتنظيم النشاط الرياضي ذات الطبيعة المتنوعة والمختلفة فضلًا عن إنه ذات طابع عالمي.
  إذن يتناول هذا البحث مدلول القانون الرياضي وذلك من خلال الإجابة على الاسئلة المتعددة بشأنه؛ هل يوجد بالفعل شيء بإسم القانون الرياضي؟ إن وجد كيف ولد؟ وهل القانون الرياضي له خصائص تميزه عن غيره؟ وهل للقانون الرياضي مصادر معينة؟ هل بالامكان ترتيب مصادره؟ وغيرها.
Nicola Sala’s Regole del contrappunto pratico (1794): History, Theory, and Practice
Authors:   Gnesin Russian Academy of Music, Maslova Anastasia I.
Published: December 2024

The author of the article turns to the forgotten and little known treatise, Regole del contrappunto pratico (1794) by Neapolitan composer and teacher Nicola Sala (1713–1801) and examines it in the historical-cultural, theoretical and practical aspects. Emphasis is made of the important role played by the tutorial discipline of counterpoint, which presented the final stage of the course of composition instruction in Neapolitan conservatories. It is noted that Sala’s treatise has become the sole published work of its kind reflecting the theory and practice of counterpoint in Naples during the second half of the 18th century. On the basis of the preserved memoirs of the archivist of the conservatory library, Giuseppe Sigismondo and British music historian Charles Burney, a critical evaluation of the prehistory and the stages of creation of the treatise is made, and the various vicissitudes that hampered its publication and dissemination are revealed. The tragic events in the history of Naples that took place in 1799 lead to virtually a complete destruction of the etchings and print copies of the Regole, which, in its turn, served as an impulse for its rejuvenation outside of Italy, in particular, in France. In lieu of this, the question is raised about the role of Sala and, to take it further, of the Neapolitan masters in the formation of the French professional musical education.
Revisiting Musical Semiotics: Returning to Greek Stoic Definitions
Authors:   Peabody Institute, Johns Hopkins University, Khannanov Ildar D.
Published: December 2024

Musical semiotics has been on the frontlines of interdisciplinary movement in musicology and music theory. Enough is to mention the names of Eero Tarasti, Robert Hatten, Gino Stephani, Michael Spitzer and Boris Asafiev. It is difficult to add much to this rich tradition. However, revisiting the ancient roots of this discipline in the teaching of Zeno of Chitteum and his students, Cleanthes and Chrysippos (found in Veterum stoicorum fragmenta), may shed light on some aspects of semiotics that were once abandoned and now can be restored. From this corpus of texts, we learn about the seme (the sign and grain), semainon (the signifier), semainomenon (the signified) and semeiotike (the study of signs). It is difficult to overestimate the importance of this discovery for philosophy, religion, arts and sciences. Zeno discussed being in terms of semiotics. In his view, it is not the object that is being signified; rather the sign, as an active cause, generates and constitutes the object. Thus, the dilemma of classical ontology looms in the background of the problem of the musical sign.
Simon Steen-Andersen — a Composer of the Postmodernist Era
Authors:   Gnesin Russian Academy of Music, Tsaregradskaya Tatiana V.
Published: December 2024

The composer’s position in the contemporary academic musical culture includes an entire spectrum of directives: from the modern to the postmodern. The postmodernist aesthetical directive towards irony and the element of play are the most akin to Danish composer Simon Steen-Anderson, who has received broad recognition in the professional community. In this article, the conceptions of three compositions by Steen-Andersen are analyzed — Black Box Music for solo percussionist and fifteen performers (2012), In Spite Of, And Maybe Even Therefore for winds, piano, percussion and double-bass (2007) and Amongst for amplified guitar and large orchestra (2005). These compositions demonstrate a prevalence of the compositional strategies of deconstruction, which make it possible for the composer to choose an unexpected and nontrivial angle in regard to such archetypical dialogic ideas as “the orchestra vs. the soloist,” “the conductor vs. the soloist,” “the old vs. the new.”
A Successful Blend of Diverse Styles, Genres and Techniques in Andrew Thomas’ Orchestral Works from the End of the 20th Century
Authors:   Moscow State P. I. Tchaikovsky Conservatory, Rovner Anton A. ,   Moscow Humanitarian University
Published: December 2024

Andrew Thomas is a distinguished American composer of considerable renown. He has written numerous compositions for solo piano, various chamber ensembles, solo voices, chorus, and orchestra. He is also a pianist, a conductor and a composition teacher, who taught for over fifty years at the Pre-College Division of the Juilliard School in New York City. He has instructed composition already to several generations of composers, many of whom have since become prominent members of the American contemporary music scene. Among the most significant compositions Andrew Thomas has written are his works for orchestra. This article shall discuss the composer’s orchestral works — the Concerto for Marimba and Orchestra Loving Mad Tom (1990) and The Heroic Triad (2000). Analysis of these two works is provided, and the cultural context for their creation is given.
Musical Terminology in 19th Century Russian Tutorial Translated Editions
Authors:   Gnesin Russian Academy of Music, Derunets Elena S.
Published: December 2024

The object of research in the article is the formation of musical terminology in the Russian teaching of harmony of the second half of the 19th century. As the musical educational system was transitioning to the level of professionalism, during this period the role of music theory as an independent teaching discipline rose, moreover, harmony became the sphere most in demand. The tutorial theoretical literature of that time is presented both by original works and those translated from other languages. In the article, the musical terminology of popular European textbooks, such as those written by Ernst Friedrich Richter, Johann Lobe and Adolf Bernhard Marx in translation by Russian translators is examined, the problem range of their works is discussed, and the role of translators and editors in the formation of the Russian scholarly language is accentuated. Examination is made of the appearance and gradual rootedness of certain basic terms of the Russian teaching on harmony: stroi [structure], lad [mode] and garmoniya [harmony]. They acquire an academic status and, reflecting the specificity of the national nature of harmony, do not possess any Western analogues. In conclusion, the supposition is formulated of the possibility of including the analysis of Russian musical terminology into the context of the specificity of Russian music.
Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s Third Textbook in Alexander Ossovsky’s Notes: Concerning the History of the Formation of the St. Petersburg School of Music Theory
Authors:   St. Petersburg Rimsky-Korsakov State Conservatory, Tverdovskaya Tamara I. , Yankus Alla I.
Published: December 2024

The article presents a document from the personal archive of Doctor of the Arts History, Professor, Honored Art Worker of the Russian Federation Valery Vassilyevich Smirnov (1937–2023) — the notebook of outstanding Russian musicologist Alexander Vyacheslavovich Ossovsky. It summarizes notes of Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov’s lectures on the theory of counterpoint, which Ossovsky attended at the St. Petersburg Conservatory from January to November 1897.
The materials of the notebook, bearing the inscription Zapiski po chteniyam N. A. Rimskogo-Korsakova o kontrapunkte [Notes on Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov’s Lectures on Counterpoint], contain a sequential summary of the subjects of the course and detailed recommendations for fulfilling written assignments on the studied themes. However, they comprise merely a fragment of the counterpoint course, which was a special theoretical discipline.
Ossovsky’s previously unknown autograph can be examined not merely as a notes of Rimsky- Korsakov’s lectures, but also as a “sketch” for his unrealized textbook on counterpoint; information on Rimsky-Korsakov’s planned textbook is present in Vassily Vassilyevich Yastrebtsev’s and Nikolai Alexandrovich Sokolov’s memoirs. The realization of such an intention in connection with the published works on harmony and the bases of orchestration would make it possible for us to compile an exhaustive theoretical compendium for the course on free composition the founder of the St. Petersburg school for composition taught at the Conservatory during the course of several decades.
Pedagogical Practice at the Gnesin Russian Academy of Music: Temporal Parallels
Authors:   Gnesin Russian Academy of Music, Belyak Dmitri V.
Published: December 2024

The article discusses the history of Pedagogical Practice, an academic discipline inextricably linked with the Gnesin House that has been under revision since the mid-2010s. To identify its fundamental principles, an analysis of the transcripts of the meetings of the Artistic Council of the Gnesin State Musical-Pedagogical Institute (GSMPI) from 1947–1952 is conducted. The documents note the role of practice in the educational process (as it was understood and defined by the founders of the Institute), its duration and connections with other subjects of the pedagogical and methodological cycle, as well as various forms of conducting classes at different levels of education. Parallels with the current state of the discipline taught at the Gnesin Russian Academy of Music (GRAM) allow us to draw conclusions about possible prospects for its development: the use of an assistant form at the specialist and master’s levels, which will allow future teachers of the middle and higher levels to become familiar with the specifics of their work, and to conduct practical training in existing educational institutions. The novelty of the study consists in its introduction into scholarly circulation of archival data published for the first time, along with the restoration of a historical snapshot over a five-year period that reveals the features of the “Gnesin pedagogical concept” that characterises the unique approach of GSMPI/GRAM.
Elena Malinovskaya: Theatrical and Musical Education in the Late 1910s–1930s
Authors:   Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, Gordeev Petr N.
Published: December 2024

The article discusses the views and influence of the prominent figure of the Soviet theater, Elena Konstantinovna Malinovskaya (1875–1942), on educational institutions in the field of music and theater. The latter included the Theater School of Moscow and one of its successors, the Ballet College, various studios, and the Moscow Conservatory. For many years, Malinovskaya was at the centre of Moscow’s theatrical life, holding various responsible positions: following the October Revolution, she headed Moscow’s state theaters until 1924; for a significant part of this period, she was also the director of the Bolshoi Theater, as well as heading it again from 1930–1935. Thus, Malinovskaya’s legacy included a considerable impact on prominent institutions that taught theatrical and musical arts. The article is the first attempt to study her activities based on archival materials recently introduced into scholarly circulation. It is shown that Malinovskaya’s influence on educational institutions in the field of the performing arts was quite various: if the Ballet Academy fell under her direct control, she could only influence the conservatory indirectly using her extensive network of connections.
The Theory of Conceptual Integration in the Framework of the Study of the Cultic Milieu on the Example of Ufology
Authors:   Penza Orthodox Тheological Seminary, Fadeev Andrew
Published: December 2024

The phenomenon of unconventional religiosity cannot be investigated, being limited to the framework of its structured forms. Most studies of sectarianism focus on institutionalized forms of unconventional religiosity, their influence on society, and creed doctrines. Increasing in content and forms, unconventional religiosity has a kind of generating community, which Colin Campbell in 1972 called the Cultic Milieu. The Cultic Milieu in the definition of the author is deviant beliefs and practices of the cultural underground, rooted in historical experience. Not all ideas of the Cultic Milieu have pronounced religious elements. The complexity of studying the Cultic Milieu lies in the fact that it is poorly verified within the framework of sociological approaches, since its volume and nature are revealed exclusively in the processes of communication and intercommunication of carriers. According to our hypothesis, ideas and practices are in a state of constant transformation and are subject to analysis only in a synchronous slice. However, any construct or an individual image of the Cultic Milieu by definition has religious or mytho-magical characteristics. A model for connecting religious and non-religious elements in the study area has not yet been found. In the studies of sociologists, the theme of the cult environment is described as a rule using terminological generalizations: implicit religion, substitute religion, faith without affiliation, and so on. The content of the ideas of the Cultic Milieu is currently superficially described in terms of "syncretic" or "eclectic," but nothing more. Within the framework of this work, an attempt was made to apply one of the classical methods of cognitive linguistics in relation to the ideas of the Cultic Milieu, exactly, the method of conceptual integration between the mental spaces of concepts from the field of non-institutionalized non-traditional religiosity. The application of this approach makes it possible to identify the process of genesis of a specific idea from the thematic field of the Cultic Milieu. In this case, it is one of the many variants of the paleocontact of the ufological narrative with a religious context.
Existence and Deification: Essence and Comparative Analysis of Concepts
Authors:   Saratov Orthodox Theological Seminary, Maslov Alexei , Postnov Sergiy ,   Saratov Orthodox Theological Seminary
Published: December 2024

The article reveals the essence of the concepts of "existence" and "deification", and conducts a comparative analysis of these concepts. The aspects that unite existence and deification, and the aspects that separate them, are revealed. Attention is paid to the role of intentionality in determining the essence of the concepts under consideration, as well as their modes. It is concluded that existence and deification, in the sense of the true existence of man, are one and the same. However, in the atheistic understanding, existence is finite and does not go beyond the boundaries of created being, for this it needs transcendence, which, from a religious standpoint, is related to the phenomenon of deification of man. Thus, only transcending existence can be related to deification, and related to the Orthodox term "new man", while existence without a breakthrough to God (without transcendence) is the scope of action of only the "old man".
Modern knowledge culture and Publishing activities of Sam-Cheon-Risa(三千里社)
Authors:   The Modern Bibiography Review Society, Yu Seok-hwan
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this article is to review the historical aspect of knowledge culture by examining the publishing activities of Sam-Cheon-Risa(三千里社). Sam-Cheon-Risa was the longest-running magazine among the magazines that published current affairs magazines during the colonial period. At the same time, it led the publication of literary anthologies and exerted considerable influence in the book market in the 1930s. After liberation, it resumed publishing activities, albeit for a short period, by publishing current affairs magazines and various books. However, research on anthologies’s publishing activities is limited to the colonial period. This is due to the common sense that the division of the history of knowledge culture is limited to the colonial period based on the political event of liberation. In order to review not only the entirety of anthologies’s publishing activities but also the continuity and discontinuity of modern knowledge culture, a macroscopic awareness of the problem of examining the history of knowledge culture up to the liberation is necessary. This article is the first step toward such an attempt.
Parkmunseogwon’s Literary Publications and the Reflection of the Publishing Environment
Authors:   The Modern Bibiography Review Society, Bang Hyo Soon
Published: December 2024

During the Enlightenment Period, Parkmunseogwan’s publication of literary works aimed at enlightening the public and promoting patriotism. However, by the 1910s, under the control of Japanese colonial rule, the publishing industry shifted towards profit-driven genres, with a significant expansion of new and classical novels aimed at entertainment and leisure. Particularly, as competition for publishing classical novels intensified, the Gyeongseong Book Publishers Association controlled the duplication of classical novels through an exclusive publishing rights system. Other new and classical novels, which were not subject to the association’s regulations, were published by borrowing publishing rights from Parkmunseogwan’s holdings, authors, or various copyright holders.
Having laid the foundation for its business through the publication of new and classical novels, Parkmunseogwan did not limit itself to this and sought to diversify its publishing activities. In the 1920s, they showed interest in entering the high-end literary market for intellectuals, publishing various translations and new literary works. In the 1930s, they took it as their mission to contribute to society by publishing high-quality translations, adaptations, new literary works, and classical texts. Through the publication of works with consideration for the public’s economic accessibility, Parkmunseogwan expanded the base for high-quality literature and published a wide variety of literary works, including literary anthologies, children’s books, and film adaptations. Additionally, it established Boseong Seogwan to explore and cultivate a new market for popular literary works.
A Study on the Yoon Chi-ho’s “Woosoonsori”
Authors:   The Modern Bibiography Review Society, Yoo Choon-Dong
Published: December 2024

Yoon Chi-ho’s Woosoonsori was banned in 1909 for harming the “security and customs.” Since then, most of the books have been collected in Korea, and the original have not been confirmed. For this reason, there have been several assumptions about the nature of the book that it may be a joke book or a metaphorical novel. However, the discovery of the Korean Book of Seorim, 1908 held at Toyama University in Japan, solved the curiosity about the book.
However, as this copy was confirmed, conflicting views were submitted on this material, and points to be supplemented in the study were also suggested. The main issues are which of the Fable or the La Fontaine Fable was translated into a translated version and whether this book can be viewed as a translated version. Meanwhile, the Woosoonsori was re-published in 1910 by the New Corporation in Honolulu, Hawaii, after a embargo was imposed in 1909, but the issue was not discussed because it was difficult to confirm the data.
Recently, the Overseas Cultural Heritage Foundation under the Cultural Heritage Administration has investigated Ham Oh-yong’s materials held in The Charles E. Young Research Library in UCLA, USA. He was the first generation to immigrate to the United States as a sugarcane worker. While investigating his data, he discovered two species of 『 』, which were published by Shinhan National Treasure. If you look at the publication of Shinhan National Treasure, you can see the history of Yoon Chi-ho after he came to Hawaii and the circumstances of the re-publication, and there are some differences from the first Daehan Seorim version. In this article, I would like to develop a discussion based on these facts.
Introduction to the Special Issue on NISKINe
Authors:   Applied Physics Laboratory, University of Washington, Simmons Harper , St. Laurent Louis , Rainville Luc , Thomas Leif
Published: December 2024

Near-inertial internal waves (NIW) constitute a dominant mode of high-frequency variability in the ocean’s interior, comprising about half the kinetic energy in the ocean at most sites (and even more in the winter beneath storm tracks; Alford et al., 2016). Over the last decade there has been a significant focus in the physical oceanographic community on internal tides, which produce large thermocline displacements, affect sound propagation, and control some hotspots of elevated turbulent mixing. Near-inertial internal gravity waves, which are primarily generated not by tides but by winds, are of similar importance, providing comparable kinetic energy and the vast majority of the shear variance, and likely leading to a substantial amount of turbulent mixing. Significant deficiencies remain in our understanding of the physical processes that determine their generation, evolution, and destruction.
Bibliographic Literature Review of Postgraduate Theses Examining Burnout of Employees in Special Education Institutions
Authors: Aslan Olcan , Topuz İrem
Published: December 2024

This study aims to bibliographically examine postgraduate theses on burnout among individuals working in special education institutions in Türkiye. A total of 46 postgraduate theses obtained from the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) database were analyzed using document analysis, a qualitative research method. The theses were evaluated based on prede-termined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The findings revealed that the topic of burnout was predominantly addressed at the master’s level (95.66%), with a limited number of studies conducted at the doctoral (2.17%) and medical specialization (2.17%) levels. Quantitative research methods (100%) were exclusively used, with relational (54.35%) and desc-riptive survey (45.65%) designs being the most frequently employed appro-aches. Studies conducted in the fields of psychology (19.59%) and special education (15.26%) were prominent, while fewer studies were observed in areas such as public health, business administration, and rehabilitation. Among the most frequently examined variables alongside burnout were job satisfaction (11.90%), work engagement (11.90%), and self-efficacy (11.90%), reflecting a focus on individual and professional factors. When examining the geographical distribution of research, it was found that stu-dies conducted at universities in the western regions were more prevalent compared to those in the eastern regions. The study emphasizes the neces-sity of qualitative and mixed-method research to explore the contextual and multidimensional aspects of burnout. Furthermore, increasing research in underrepresented fields such as health and organizational management could provide a more comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon. This bibliographic review contributes to the existing literature while provi-ding practical recommendations for addressing burnout in special education institutions. It underscores the importance of support mechanisms tailored to the unique challenges faced by employees in this field.
Diskalkuli Farkındalığının Geliştirilmesinde Sinemanın Rolü: ‘Amateur’, ‘Night School’ ve ‘Proxima’ Örnekleri
Authors: Çam Şefika Sümeyye , Mutlu Yılmaz
Published: December 2024

Matematik öğrenme güçlüğü olarak bilinen diskalkuli üzerine yapılan araştırmalar son yıllarda artış göstermiş olsa da, bu konudaki toplumsal far-kındalık düzeyi hala yeterli değildir. Bu nedenle, diskalkuliye sahip bireylere yönelik toplumsal farkındalığı artırmak ve bu öğrencilerle çalışacak öğret-men ile uzmanların eğitiminde materyal olarak kullanılabilirliği değerlen-dirmek amacıyla "Amateur" (2018), "Night School" (2018) ve "Proxima" (2019) filmleri incelenmiştir. Nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden doküman ince-lemesi kullanılarak gerçekleştirilen bu çalışmada, filmlerde diskalkuliye sa-hip bireylerin özellikleri, yaşadıkları sorunlar ve aldıkları eğitimlere ilişkin sahneler analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sonucunda, toplam 26 sahnede diskalkuli farkındalığını artırabilecek içerikler olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Filmlerde dis-kalkuliye sahip bireylerin sayıları ters görme, saati okuyamama, sayıları an-lamlandırmada ve dört işlem yapmada zorluk yaşama gibi belirgin özellikle-ri yansıtılmıştır. Ayrıca, bu bireylerin kafa karışıklığı, odaklanamama, düşük özyeterlik ve toplumsal uyum sorunları gibi zorluklarla karşılaştıkları belir-lenmiştir. Filmlerde, diskalkuliye sahip bireylere verilen eğitimlerde ebeveyn ve öğretmen desteğinin önemine vurgu yapılmış; görsel ve dokunsal mater-yallerin kullanımı, dikkat dağıtıcı unsurların azaltılması ve özgüveni geliş-tirme çalışmalarının etkili olduğu görülmüştür. Bu bulgular, söz konusu filmlerin diskalkuli farkındalığını artırmada ve eğitim materyali olarak kul-lanılabilirlik açısından önemli bir potansiyele sahip olduğunu ortaya koy-maktadır.
A probabilistic method to prove AM-QM inequality
Authors: Nguyen Trung-Dzung
Published: December 2024

Inequality is one of the interesting topics in mathematics that attracts the attention of both students and researchers. Solving inequalities often requires creativity, making it a challenging topic for many students. The inequality of arithmetic and quadratic means, or AM-QM in short, states that the arithmetic mean of a list of non-negative real numbers is less than or equals to the square root of the quadratic mean of the same list. There are many methods of proving the AM-QM inequality. In this paper, we will present a probabilistic method to prove the weighted general AM-QM inequality and show that the classical AM-QM inequality is a special case of the generalized AM-QM inequality with equal weights.

Photoluminescent composites consisting of a photoluminescent material dispersed in a suitable matrix have been applied in many applications, such as light-emitting diodes, solar concentrators, and anti-counterfeiting inks. The traditional method for the fabrication of composites by blending an as-synthesized photoluminescent material and a matrix is very challenging as it is difficult to obtain homogeneous composites. In this study, we have demonstrated a one-step method to prepare homogeneous composites by inducing the formation of in-situ photoluminescent centers in a stable matrix. Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) coated with o-phenylenediamine (oPD) was thermally annealed at 165oC for a duration of 5 minutes in an extruder to obtain green-emitting composites. The composites exhibited a broad absorption peak at 425 nm and an absorption shoulder at 495 nm. The emission spectrum of the composite was broad, ranging from 400 nm to 700 nm, and reached the maximum at 525 nm. The photoluminescent maximum position was independent of the excitation wavelength. The photoluminescent excitation spectrum of the composite resembled the absorption near 425 nm. Time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations suggested that 2,3-diaminophenazine and 3-amino-2-hydroxyphenazine are the main molecular fluorophores accounting for the optical properties of the composites. The synthetic method demonstrated in this study is transferable for preparing numerous photoluminescent thermoplastics.
An investigation into the morphological and anatomical characteristics of three cassava (\( Manihot \,\, esculenta\)) varieties collected from the Northern provinces of Vietnam
Authors: Tran Van-Tien , Nguyen Thi Kim-Tien , Do Thi Lan-Huong
Published: December 2024

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a crucial crop that sustains millions of people across tropical and subtropical regions, providing an essential source of carbohydrates and contributing significantly to food security. Morphologically, varieties KM94, 08SA06, and Ruột vàng exhibit distinct traits such as plant form, leaf structure, tuber shape, and starch content, which underline their adaptability and potential for high yield under diverse growing conditions. Anatomically, the stems of these varieties demonstrate unique structural features, including tightly packed epidermal cells with thick cuticle layers, varying layers of collenchyma and parenchyma, robust sclerenchyma rings, and well-organized vascular bundles. These features ensure efficient nutrient and water transport, structural integrity, and resilience against environmental stresses, essential for the growth and development of these cassava varieties. By highlighting these morphological and anatomical traits, this study emphasizes the importance of such detailed analyses for improving cassava cultivation practices.

Published: December 2024

The study of second-order optimality conditions is one of the most important topics in optimization theory and attracting the attention and interest of many authors. In this paper, we introduce a novel solution concept called “essential local efficient solutions of second-order” for nonconvex constrained multiobjective optimization problems. We then show that the new solution concept is stronger than the quadratic growth condition and under a mild constraint qualification, these solution concepts are equivalent. By using the second subderivative, we derive a sufficient optimality condition for a feasible solution to become an essential local efficient solution of second-order for the considered problem. Examples are provided to illustrate the obtained results.

Introduction. Mini volleyball is a modified version of volleyball adapted in terms of facilities, infrastructure, number of players, and game rules. Objective. To determine the effectiveness of a mini volleyball learning model in improving the knowledge and technical skills of upper-grade male students based on Teaching Game for Understanding (TGfU), and to compare the outcomes of this model with other learning models. Methods. This research employs a research and development approach. Development research includes 10 steps: (1) gathering research results and information, (2) planning, (3) developing initial products, (4) conducting initial trials, (5) revising to create the main product, (6) conducting main field trials, (7) revising to create operational products, (8) conducting operational product trials, (9) final product revisions, and (10) disseminating and implementing developed products. The research was conducted from September 1 to December 31, 2022, in elementary schools in Bantul Regency. The effectiveness testing instruments used were the Independent Samples T-test and the Mann-Whitney Test. Results. The study showed that the TGfU-based mini volleyball learning model effectively improved knowledge, lower serves, upper serves, and lower passes. Based on the results, the difference in knowledge between the experimental and control groups was statistically significant, with a p-value of 0.026 (p < 0.05). Similarly, significant improvements were observed in lower serves, upper serves, and lower passes, with p-values of 0.000, 0.000, and 0.004, respectively (p < 0.05). Conclusion. The mini volleyball learning model based on TGfU positively impacts the knowledge and technical skills (lower passes, lower serves, and upper serves) of upper-grade male elementary school students.

Aim of the study. The aim of the study was to assess the epidemiology and severity of urinary incontinence (UI) in adult physically active women.
Material and methods. In order to conduct the study, a total of 171 questionnaires have been collected from physically active women aged 18+. In order to follow UI diagnostic purposes the study was based on International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire– Urinary Incontinence Short Form. The gathered data was analysed with the use of Microsoft Excel and IBM SPSS Statistics 29 programs. Values of p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Results. After analysing the study group (n = 171, av. age 33 years) authors found a total of 42.1% women reporting UI incidents during their physical activity. Highest UI occurrence was observed by the patients during their anaerobic strength training with additional loads (14.1%), running (11%) and general fitness training (8.9%). In the study we did not find a significant relation between the UI occurrence, type of activity as well as the specificity of the training. Group of women with a UI in the questionnaire was however older (av. 5 years) than those without such incident being reported (p < 0.001). At the same time those with a higher number of labours were more likely to sustain a UI compared with those who have not experienced childbirth at all (p < 0.001).
Conclusions. A high UI incidence in physically active women shows the need for proper education on the matter with the emphasis on those who train specific UI susceptible disciplines.
Human-animal relations in El Impenetrable National Park, an area of confluence of environmental conservation, tourism and livestock

Published: December 2024

Since 2011, in the area currently known as El Impenetrable National Park (Chaco,
Argentina), certain animals were “protected” and became part of the attractions offered to
tourists. This article aims to describe and analyze the relationships between humans and animals
in the mentioned area, where environmental conservation and tourism converge with family
livestock production. It is an ethnographic research carried out between 2021 and 2023 that
encourages us to think about ways to reconcile conservation with human presence in the
environment. The physical space of the park underwent changes linked to the productive
activities’ humans carried out there. The environmental conservation promoted seeks to
eradicate the harmful hunting of "wild animals". Although such animal condition (wild) reflects
separation between humans and nature, it is relative (it does not apply to all humans or to all
animals) and permeable (through the physical movement of animals and humans across park
borders and through the similar treatment that locals give to animals). Finally, the promotion of
experiences with animals within the park prioritizes the presence of some to the detriment of
others. The criteria of animal differentiation reveal a territorial and animal strategy aimed at
transforming sources of income generation.
