THE EURASIAN VECTOR IN THE RESEARCH OF ANALYTICAL CENTERS OF KYRGYZSTAN
Authors:   Russian Academy of Sciences Institute of Scientific Information on Social Sciences, Kudayarov Kanybek A.
Published: November 2024

The article considers think tanks in Kyrgyzstan that have chosen or pay significant attention to the issues of Eurasian integration within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union as a priority area of their activities. The author emphasizes that the central issue of the article is the publication activity of “thought factories”, which analysis provides insight into the number of works (articles, analytical reviews, monographs, etc.) published by one or another think tank on the topic of integration, as well as into a wide range of subjects related to Eurasian integration. The study of publications allows the author to conclude that there is no large, sustained research interest in the Eurasian Economic Union projects among the majority of Kyrgyzstani “thought factories”. According to his data, out of 24 organizations, only 4 are comprehensively engaged in Eurasian integration issues, and all 4 are state think tanks (the Center for Analysis of International Relations at the Diplomatic Academy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kyrgyz Republic, the National Institute for Strategic Studies under the President of the Kyrgyz Republic, and interstate university think tanks at the Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University). Local non-state think tanks of the republic have ties with Western structures represented by governmental, non-governmental and non-profit organizations and focus on issues far removed from Eurasian integration

Authors: Kumar Anjay , Sonawane Ajay
Published: November 2024

Education is a strong foundational democratic value of continuous universal significance. It is the best platform for  acquiring  the skills, techniques, information and  respect for the duties. The magnitude of the importance of education in life is  multi-fold. Education is like the right to life as it is the mother of realizing other  human rights. In the 21st  Century  worldwide activities  are running on the wheels of education. To live a dignified life, education leads the way. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights declares that "Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Elementary education shall be compulsory." "Parents have a prior right to choose the kind of education that  shall be given to their children." The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights says  "Primary education shall be compulsory and available free for all." The right to education has been recognized as a constitutionally protected fundamental right in India.  In Unni Krishnan  Case (1993), the Supreme Court declared that the ‘right to education’ is  part of the right to life under Article 21 of the Constitution of India. In 2002 through the Eighty-Sixth Constitutional Amendment Act, Article 21-A was inserted.  Article 21A ‘requires the state to provide free and compulsory education of all children between the ages of six and fourteen in such a manner as the state may determine’.  In 2009, the Indian Parliament enacted the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory. Education Act [RTE Act]. The Act aims to provide “free and compulsory education to all children of the age of six to fourteen years. The International Human Rights Bill and Constitution of India tries its best to ensure  availability, accessibility, acceptability, adaptability of the right to education. The Article seeks to highlight various provisions related to right to education in international law and domestic law along with judicial interpretation. The authors also try to highlight the features of the Right to education Act, 2009.

Ensuring the performance of external communications: An informal classification of target groups
Authors: Rodchenkov Mikhail V.
Published: November 2024

The increasing influence of the investment community on business sustainability highlights the need for a compre hensive understanding and accurate segmentation of this audience. The research aims to identify consistent criteria for intra group differentiation in the perception of financial reporting information among members of various stakeholder groups in or der to improve the performance of external communications management. Methodologically, the study rests upon stakeholder theory, which is supported by expert assessments, structural-logical analysis, and multidimensional discriminant analysis. The study draws on authentic data of a survey on the quality of corporate reporting information conducted in the fourth quarter of 2020 among 52 representatives of the Russian business. The research identifies motivationally-rooted statistically significant discrepancies in the probability of correlating some survey participants with their functional group formed on a formal basis. We discuss the relevant criteria for an informal division of respondents into groups based on subjective judgments about qualitative characteristics of corporate financial reports. These criteria include variations in estimates of complexity of reporting standards and functionality of cost indicators based on the concept of fair market value. The revealed criteria for motivational and func tional identification within stable subgroups of financial statement users formed within functional groups represents the scien tific novelty of this study. The results contribute to a deeper understanding of the relevant criteria for the group structure of the investment community, which constitutes the target audience for corporate reporting. These findings can be utilized to refine the formal classification of users of reporting information, as well as to adjust other components of corporate management systems with the aim of enhancing the effectiveness of external communications.

Authors: Mumlu-Karanfil S. , Doğan A. , Bozkurt S.
Published: November 2024

Presenteeism is among the key factors that negatively affect employee efficiency and, therefore, company organi zational performance. The existing measurement tools for assessing presenteeism highlight health-related issues as the main reason behind this counterproductive behaviour. On the other hand, other factors that influence modern business life and pro cesses are omitted. The paper’s primary purpose is to develop a comprehensive measurement tool suitable for the individual and organizational multi-factor structure of presenteeism that accurately reflects the complex nature of today’s business world. Meth odologically, the research is shaped within the framework of grounded theory. In the study, mixed methods research combining qualitative and quantitative methods was utilized. In this context, firstly, the authors conducted a literature review and focus group interviews with experts in the field in order to reveal the conceptual structure. We analysed the data using content analysis and then moved on to writing 18 scale items. We performed exploratory factor analysis using the SPSS program and confirmatory factor analysis using the AMOS program. As a result, we develop a four-dimensional scale for presenteeism covering work focus, stress management, social loafing, and performance. The verified multidimensional scale fills a vacuum in the literature by offer ing a comprehensive and dependable instrument to gauge presenteeism on organizational and individual dimensions. Among the possible avenues for further research are testing the scale in different cultural contexts and addressing the organizational causes of presenteeism.

Published: November 2024

Amid staff shortages and rising labour costs, many Russian enterprises are looking for non-material methods to man age personnel. Organizational, labour and socio-psychological aspects of employee incentives are closely linked to the corporate demographic policy tools. The article aims to analyse the demand for flexible working arrangements for employees with family responsibilities, as well as to determine the opportunities for integrating flexible organizational and labour tools of corporate de mographic policy into the personnel management system. Flexibilization theory in the context of corporate demographic policy constitutes the methodological basis of the study. The standard methods of structured personal interviews, frequency analysis with equality of proportions hypothesis test using a chi-square statistic, and comparison of mean values based on the Kruskal Wallis test were applied. The empirical evidence includes collective agreements and local regulations of the largest employers in the Russian Federation, as well as results of a sociological survey conducted in June–September, 2023 (the analyzed sample cov ered 2,804 respondents). The study statistically proves that employees working flexible hours are more satisfied with their job and life compared to those with rigid schedules. It also shows that flexible working arrangements are in demand among employees with parental commitments. The paper presents a model and an algorithm for integrating flexible organizational and labour tools of corporate demographic policy into the personnel management system. We develop a list of HR metrics and identify potential positive implications of this integration through strengthening the HR brand, increasing employee loyalty and engagement, and reducing staff turnover.

Authors: Kotelnitskaia Anastasiia A. , Mirzoyan Ashot G.
Published: November 2024

Generations Y and Z make up a significant share of consumers, so businesses need to adapt their advertising strategies and communication methods to the characteristics of each generation. The purpose of the paper is to investigate the differences in the perception of commercial advertising by generations Y and Z. The methodological basis of the study is marketing theory and the theory of generations. Comparison of means tests, linear regression, and Lasso regression were used as research methods. The data set of the study is represented by data from a survey of 308 respondents conducted in February 2023 and designed us ing the semantic differential method. Our findings show statistically significant differences in the perception by generations Y and Z of the colour temperature of a commercial, the dynamism and volume of the music, and friendliness of the actors. Among the factors affecting the probability of purchase by both generations are the need for product, colour temperature, and high-quality commercial editing, while generation Z is influenced by the semantic component and friendliness of the actors, and generation Y – by the emotional component. Generation Y consumers are more prone to impulse buying behaviour. The factors influencing the likelihood to purchase are ranked in descending order of importance: for generation Z, these are the need for product, inter est in the plot of the commercial, attractiveness of the actors, and exclusivity of the offer; for generation Y, these are the need for product, inspiration after watching, depth of meaning of the advertisement, and exclusivity of the offer. The results of the study may be useful to representatives of the marketing and advertising industry.

Authors: Thippeswamy DR  , Venkataiah C  , Basavaraj Hatti
Published: November 2024

In this work, we investigate the industrial potentiality of limestone deposits in the Joldhal Formation of the Shimoga Schist Belt, Dharwar Craton. Based on their mineralogy, petrography, and geochemical characteristics. Twenty-five different limestone samples were collected from distinct locations and analyzed using X-ray fluorescence and X-ray diffraction techniques. Petrographically, these limestone deposits consist predominantly of calcite, quartz, chlorite, mica, micrites, etc. The X-ray diffraction studies indicated the dominance of calcite as an essential carbonate mineral, and quartz, kaolinite, chlorite, and mica/illite are major gangue minerals in the studied limestone. The results of the geochemical investigation of 25 samples indicated that the limestone from the study area exhibits a wide range of variation in LOI (27.99–42.82 wt%), SiO2 (0.21–19.60 wt%), CaO (27.80–55.50 wt%), Al2O3 (0.11–8.48 wt%), Fe2O3 (0.23–9.28 wt%), and MgO (0.51–9.79). Traces of K2O, Na2O, and TiO2 are found. This study illustrates how crucial it is to evaluate limestone's geochemical characteristics prior to cement making. Various factor analyses were calculated, like lime saturation factor, silica modulus, and alumina ratio, for suitable high-quality cement production. Bandigudda, Hanne, and Joldhal area valuable for cement manufacturing, unlike Medugondanahalli and Vitalapura, due to their impure quality and below-average parameter values. The results indicate suitability for cement production. The deposit's SiO2, Al2O3, and Fe2O3 content meet the ultimate moduli values of the raw material, indicating its suitability for cement production. This study emphasizes the significance of the geochemical evaluation of limestone for cement production

This review paper of literature highlights role of Light Emitting Diode (LED) on the growth of plants under controlled conditions of greenhouse farming particularly hydroponics. “Internet of Things (IOT)” is a system of interconnected computing devices, sensors, objects, microcontrollers, and cloud servers that can transmit data across a network and control other devices remotely without human intervention. Light Emitting Diode (LED) is a more efficient, versatile, lasts longer, highly energy-efficient, directional, narrow light spectrum, low power consumption, and little heat production. Common LED colors include amber, red, green, and blue. Hydroponic grow lights are designed to mimic the natural light that plants need for photosynthesis. Plants can only use the spectrum of visible light to produce photosynthesis, and this narrow spectrum (400 to 700 nanometer) is recognized as the Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR). The development and growth of diverse plant species can be influenced differently by a variety of colored LED lights. LED illumination provides an efficient way to improve yield and modify plant properties. Therefore, LED systems plays an important role in controlling morphological, genetic, physiological, chemical properties, increasing the synthesis of a variety of beneficial secondary metabolites, and optobiological interactions of plants in greenhouse farming. In general, red and blue light is essential for maximizing the photosynthesis process due to their strong absorption by the plant chlorophyll molecules. LED illumination sources are increasingly being utilized to enhance the growth rate of vegetables and herbs cultivated in greenhouses worldwide. LED illumination spectrum manipulation could enable significant morphological adaptations, and identification of the wavelength ranges is required to increase the plant photosynthesis process.

Introduction: Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a major component of the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria that can trigger inflammatory and oxidative stress responses. The purpose of this study is to observe the anti-inflammatory effect of lycopene in reducing neutrophil infiltration caused by LPS exposure in mice (Mus musculus). Objective: This laboratory experimental study used 25 male mice aged 3 months with body weights of ± 25 g – 35 g, divided into five groups with five replicates each. C(-) is the control group: no LPS or lycopene was administered. C(+): received LPS 0.042 mg/kg without lycopene. P1: received LPS 0.042 mg/kg and lycopene 0.3 mg/kg. P2: received LPS 0.042 mg/kg and lycopene 0.6 mg/kg. P3: received LPS 0.042 mg/kg and lycopene 0.9 mg/kg. LPS was given intraperitoneally on days 1 and 8, and lycopene was administered daily for 14 days. The spleen is located near the liver. After the organ was removed, it was placed in 10% formalin buffer for HE staining, and data were analyzed using the Kruskall Wallis test followed by the Mann-Whitney test (p<0.05). Results: LPS exposure significantly increased the number of neutrophils (p<0.05), and lycopene administration significantly reduced the number of neutrophils (p<0.05) to normal levels similar to the control (C-) at all doses/groups. Conclusion: LPS exposure was proven to increase the number of neutrophils, and lycopene administration was able to reduce the number of neutrophils to normal levels in all dose groups.

Multichannel EMG-based gesture recognition utilizing advanced machine learning techniques: A random forest classifier for high-precision signal classification
Authors: Dheeraj Tallapragada  , Vedant Sagare
Published: November 2024

This research examines how advanced machine learning algorithms can be used to classify multichannel electromyographic (EMG) signals with a high level of accuracy to assist in recognizing hand gestures. The goal is to create a robust and scalable system for gesture-based virtual control using EMG signals with potential applications in assistive technologies, rehabilitation, and human-computer interaction. Data were gathered using a MYO Thalmic bracelet containing eight EMG sensors on thirty-six subjects, and a Random Forest classifier was trained to identify seven distinct types of hand gestures (rest, fist clench, wrist flexion/extension, and radial/ulnar deviations). The machine learning pipeline included extensive preprocessing (i.e., EMG signal normalization and signal feature extraction; root mean square, waveform length, and zero crossing rate) and several hyperparameter tuning procedures to improve model performance. The Random Forest model (100 decision trees) achieved an overall classification accuracy of 98.68%, with a range of accuracies for each class (e.g., 95.2% wrist flexion and 91.8% ulnar deviation) when evaluated using cross-validation (i.e., average F1-score = 0.92, precision = 0.94, recall = .91). Overall, the study provides strong evidence for the effectiveness of ensemble learning methods at analyzing complex, multidimensional EMG signals. The high classification accuracy reported, in particular, demonstrates that the system could function for real-time recognition of hand gestures in a virtual environment. Ultimately, the initial work sets the stage for future exploration of a model that may be integrated with actuation models to control prosthetic limbs, virtual actors/avatars, and robotic devices. By demonstrating a scalable and efficient method of gesture recognition using EMG signals, these early findings enable future pathways and possibilities to design innovative, assistive solutions for digital systems that increase accessibility and interaction for users who are motor impaired or have a limited range of motion.

Published: November 2024

The study delved on identifying vendors’ level of awareness towards food safety and practices on proper food handling. The researcher made use of quantitative approach specifically the descriptive-correlative research design. The data were collected through the use of survey questionnaires distributed to the twenty-six vendors from the three selected barangays namely: Saduc Proper, Lilod Saduc, and Panggao-Saduc. The respondents were selected through convenience sampling. Specifically, this study sought to explore the demographic profiles of the respondents such as sex, highest educational attainment and attended seminar or training related to food safety and hygiene. It also identified the vendors’ level of awareness towards food safety and practices on proper food handling of street food. Lastly, it investigated the relationship between the demographic profiles of the respondents and the vendors’ level of awareness towards food safety. Using the convince sampling, the data were collected from twenty-six (26) sample size. Based on the findings, it was found out that most vendors were females and have low educational levels. It was also revealed that there were only few who have been to seminar/training related to food hygiene and safety. Furthermore, this study found out that respondents were very aware of many food safety practices such as keeping their preparation areas clean and using the right utensils. However, there was a need to improve some practices such as preheating sauces and serving food quickly. In terms of the relationship between the respondents’ demographic profile and their level of awareness on food safety, it resulted to negative moderate correlation between the demographic profile variables of gender, educational attainment, and seminars attended related to food safety and hygiene and the level of awareness among street food vendors on food safety practices. The researcher recommended that street food vendors must strictly observe safe food handling practices. They should be aware of the significance of these practices. In addition, they should attend seminar or training related to food safety and healthy food preparation practices to ensure a safer and healthier food environment for everyone’s health.

Fenomena childfree ini sesungguhnya sudah lama muncul di dunia Barat, orang-orang Barat juga termasuk orang yang sangat memprioritaskan terhadap pekerjaan, jadi sudah dipastikan hal ini tidak asing lagi, akan tetapi bagi masyarakat Indonesia, itu merupakan hal baru yang dapat menimbulkan pro-kontra. Hal tersebut dinilai tabu dan juga menyalahi norma budaya sekaligus norma agama. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian pustaka (literature research). Adapun sumber utama yang digunakan adalah Undang-Undang Tentang Hak Asasi Manusia, jurnal ilmiah, serta buku-buku yang membahas mengenai hak asasi manusia dan sosial. Pendekatan yang penulis gunakan dalam penelitian ini merupakan pendekatan normatif dan sosiologis. Teknik analisis yang digunakan penulis adalah deskriptif kualitatif. Tantangan yang akan dihadapi oleh pasangan suami dan istri yang memilih untuk childfree diantaranya akan ada tekanan sosial, sikap diskriminasi dari orang-orang terdekat (teman maupun keluarga) serta masyarakat sekitar, bahkan ada juga yang berpikir takut kehilangan hartanya apabila memiliki keturunan, dan yang terakhir akan munculnya banyak stigma negatif terhadap perempuan. yang paling terpenting ialah dalam Undang-Undang No 39 Tahun 1999 tentang Hak Asasi Manusia tidak terdapat aturan khusus mengenai larangan childfree. Jadi bahwa keputusan para pasangan untuk memilih childfree merupakan suatu bentuk hak asasi manusia yang tidak dapat di invansi oleh siapapun, terlebih ketika seorang perempuan yang mengambil peran cukup besar dalam memiliki anak untuk melahirkan dan merawatnya.

The Tram That Never Came: Public Transportation Development in Soviet Tallinn
Authors: Muide Tambet
Published: November 2024

This study contributes to discussions regarding socialist and post-socialist infrastructures by exploring the planning and development of Tallinn’s public transportation system during the Soviet era. The plans drafted during this time focused on developing electric transportation with a special emphasis on trams. During the 1960s and the 1970s, planners envisioned an overhaul of the existing tram system and the subsequent construction of a light rail system supported predominantly by trolleybuses. However, the light rail project dragged on and eventually failed. Therefore, the tram system had stopped developing in the 1950s. The trolleybus network developed only partly and likewise failed to provide sufficient service. Therefore, the bulk of urban transportation was provided by a network of motorbuses, considered unwanted by the planners and thus unplanned for. The study demonstrates the paradoxical nature of Soviet infrastructural planning and development and highlights the difficulties of negotiating large infrastructural projects by Soviet institutions.
Unveiling Modular Oscillations in Odd Primes and Dirichlet L-Functions
Authors: Kusniec Charles
Published: November 2024

This study investigates the modular structure of odd prime numbers through the lens of opposite parity square differences, examining their classification within congruence classes 1 mod 4 and 3 mod 4. By analyzing the offset phenomenon in variables related to square differences, we derive conditions under which integer values emerge, revealing an intrinsic modular pattern. This modular structure not only aligns with conjectures on prime placements relative to square and oblong numbers but also provides insights into the origin of oscillations in Dirichlet L-functions. Specifically, we illustrate how the alternation in Dirichlet character values between these congruence classes generates oscillations within the L-function terms, offering a perspective that connects modular prime distribution with the precise distribution of prime numbers and the implications for the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH).
Low Flexibility of Emotion Regulation in Adults with Childhood Maltreatment Experiences
Authors: Armbruster-Genc Diana , Basten Ulrike
Published: November 2024

Background: Childhood maltreatment is associated with a higher risk for developing psychological disorders, such as depression or anxiety. Dysfunctional emotion regulation (ER) has been implicated as a neurocognitive mechanism linking adverse childhood experiences to an increased risk for psychopathological outcomes. Objective: This preregistered study investigated the relation between childhood maltreatment and different aspects of ER, including implementation capacity and effort as well as tendency and flexibility in strategy selection.Methods: In a non-clinical adult sample (N = 227), childhood maltreatment was assessed with the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire. In two experimental ER tasks, participants viewed pictures of varying emotional intensity while applying one of three ER strategies (distraction, reappraisal, suppression) or without any active regulation. The ER implementation task allowed to assess emotion reactivity, implementation capacity, and subjective effort for ER. The ER selection task allowed to assess tendency and flexibility in strategy selection. Results: Childhood maltreatment was associated with a lower capacity to implement reappraisal (r = -.12), a stronger tendency to choose suppression (r = .15), and lower flexibility in ER strategy selection (r = -.12). Contrary to our hypotheses, there was no significant association to experimentally assessed emotion reactivity or subjective effort exerted on ER.Conclusions: We show that people with childhood maltreatment experiences do not only choose suppression more frequently but seem to have a deficit in flexibly adjusting strategy selection to context factors, e.g., stimulus intensity. This can be interpreted as an important factor rendering emotion regulation less adaptive in a clinical sense.

Combined action observation and motor imagery (AOMI) training has been shown to facilitate motor skill performance, but limited research has explored its effectiveness on motor learning and possible moderating factors for the intervention. This study examined the influence of model type on the effectiveness of AOMI training for novices learning an Ankle Pick takedown. Twenty-eight novice participants were randomly assigned to AOMI training that displayed footage of a self-model (AOMISELF) or an other-model (AOMIOTHER). A motor learning design incorporating pre-test (Day 1), acquisition (Days 2-6), post-test (Day 7), and retention-test (Day 14) was utilised). Motor skill performance, self-efficacy and mental representation structures were recorded as measures of learning. There were no significant differences between the training conditions across all twelve kinematics measures of motor skill performance. Self-efficacy scores increased for all training conditions over time. Both the AOMIOTHER and Control conditions led to improved functional changes in mental representation structures while the structures for the AOMISELF condition moved further away from the reference structure over time. Collectively, the largely null findings suggest that physical practice is the main driver of motor adaptations for this complex motor skill at these early stages of learning. However, the findings also suggest model type may be an important factor for novices using AOMI training. Therefore, it is recommended for future research to explore different modeling approaches, such as mixed-modeling, when designing AOMI interventions for sport.
