Introduction.The concept of sustainable development is a complex and systemic category that includes economic, environmental, social, environmental components. Despite the existing system of indicators and indicators of sustainable development, as well as attempts to adapt it to the socio-economic and institutional characteristics of the regions, a critical analysis of this system is needed with further improvement of analytical tools. Goal. Development of methods of information and analytical support of sustainable development, allowing to increase the reliability of indicators reflecting the preservation and multiplication of natural, social and intellectual benefits, which are the starting point of economic growth. Materials and methods. The study uses a deductive approach, considers the use of an index method integrated into the system of operating financial and economic indicators that allow for the optimization of disaggregated and aggregated procedures related to the formation of a set of indicators of sustainable development. Results and discussion. In the course of the study, the problem of the existing approach to the aggregation of indicators of sustainable development and their correlation with macroeconomic indicators is highlighted. The analysis of the existing indicators, indicators of sustainable development is carried out, the existing imperfections and difficulties in their calculation and interpretation are shown. The paper proves the relationship between such categories of sustainable development as cost, utility, and sufficiency of resources, which is reflected in the graph proposed by the authors of the coupling curves of cost, utility and sufficiency of the good. Conclusion. It is concluded that fair value is the most important instrumental criterion in assessing sustainable development. The authors have proved and justified that the choice of private indicators of sustainable development should be based on the concept of utility and focus on the territorial features of the functioning of economic residents, which further determines the level of materiality of the proposed indicators and can be used as the basis for the formation of consolidated assessment indicators of sustainable development.

Las mujeres y la formación del joven guerrero en la primera parte de Hugues Capet
Authors: López Martínez-Morás Santiago
Published: August 2024

Hugues Capet es un cantar de gesta del siglo XIV que tiene en la Ley Sálica su base ideológica. De acuerdo con el espíritu de dicha ley, el autor adjudica a los personajes femeninos del cantar un papel secundario o pasivo frente a sus parientes masculinos, particularmente en la primera parte del texto: la relativa al origen del héroe y sus aventuras de juventud. Más allá del obstáculo que supone la ascendencia burguesa de la madre del futuro rey, los diferentes episodios de esta parte en los que intervienen las mujeres y sus parientes masculinos parecen anticipar, en mayor o menor medida, momentos posteriores vinculados con la exclusión femenina en la sucesión al trono francés.

Review of the Afrotropical Psalis Hübner, [1823] with descriptions of two new species and notes on Asiatic taxa (Lepidoptera, Erebidae, Lymantriinae, Orgyiini)
Authors: László Gyula M. , Powell Bethany
Published: August 2024

This paper is intended to present the results of morpho-taxonomic investigations carried out on the palaeotropical tussock moth genus Psalis Hübner, [1823] with the aim of clarifying and diagnosing its species content as well as revising the Afrotropical taxa. Examinations of Asian and African Psalis material confirmed the distinctness of the externally alike P. pennatula (Fabricius, 1793), P. securis Hübner, [1823] stat. rev. and P. africana Kiriakoff, 1956. Although the marked morphological differences between the configuration of the tympanal organ of P. pennatula and P. africana as reported by Kiriakoff (1956a) could not be confirmed, the two former taxa are retained as distinct species, as well as P. securis which is reinstated from synonymy with P. pennatula based on constant differences in the female genitalia structures. Morphological examinations of collection material and samples collected during recent fieldwork in Africa resulted in the discovery of two new species: Psalis smithi sp. n. and Psalis bashfordae sp. n. Adults and their genitalia, as well as tympanal organs of all valid Asian and African Psalis taxa are illustrated.

Authors: Pharmacytha Anggrita Salfa , Savitri Mimi
Published: August 2024

Mustokoweni the Heritage Hotel as a cultural heritage building which has historical, archaeological, architectural and cultural value requires efforts to preserve the building and its important values. Conservation efforts have been carried out by Mustokoweni the Heritage Hotel, but these preservation efforts are still not optimal. This can be seen from the conservation efforts that have been carried out through protection and utilization with the designation of Mustokoweni the Heritage Hotel as a cultural heritage building and used for economic, social and cultural activities. However, development efforts are still not optimal, this is shown by the absence of research discussing Mustokoweni the Heritage Hotel. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods to examine the role of stakeholders in efforts to preserve Mustokoweni the Heritage Hotel. So the idea generated in this research is an effort to improve preservation through research with the aim of strengthening important values in buildings and strengthening the image of the city of Yogyakarta as a city of culture and a city of students.

Diversity in body size, bioacoustic traits, and cuticular hydrocarbon profiles in Isophya autumnalis populations
Authors: Kıran Özdemir Ebru , Sevgili Hasan , Bağdatlı Emine
Published: August 2024

This study investigates the variations in body size, bioacoustic traits, and cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) profiles in different populations of the bush cricket species Isophya autumnalis Karabağ, 1962. Within-population body size variations, particularly those associated with distinct habitat differences and climate shifts within their local distribution ranges, suggest that ecological factors affect morphological characteristics. Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) in I. autumnalis may affect reproductive behavior and strategies, potentially influenced by the bioacoustic environment. While male calling songs exhibit temporal variations across populations, suggesting differences among allopatric populations, CHC profiles, known to undergo selection under various climatic conditions, also vary noticeably across local populations. These findings highlight the importance of understanding within-species variations for the conservation of Isophya and similar taxa in the face of habitat threats. Overall, this study contributes to a comprehensive understanding of how morphology and bioacoustic behavioral traits are shaped over short distances in allopatric populations of species with limited mobility, such as I. autumnalis, providing insights into adaptation processes and highlighting the urgency of conservation efforts for endemic species in Anatolia.

Authors: Baş Gökhan
Published: August 2024

This chapter examines the role of private tutoring (PT) on student outcomes in East Asian countries, with a particular focus on policies and practices. This chapter first outlines the conceptual framework of PT and then discusses the financial burden that PT as an informal out-of-school activity places on parents. The drivers of PT have been analyzed and it has been concluded that they are mostly influenced by variables at student-, school- and country-level. In focusing on the role of PT on student outcomes, the paper emphasizes how PT influences students' academic achievement, motivation, well-being, and parent-child relationships. At the end of the chapter, it has been concluded that although PT has an influence on students' academic achievement particularly in East Asian countries, it raises important questions about students' motivation, well-being and relations with their parents.

Current Perspectives on Language Learning Strategies
Authors: Ölmez-Çağlar Funda , Koç Fatma Şeyma
Published: August 2024

In second or foreign language (L2) learning contexts, language learning strategies (LLS) serve as one of the key individual learner differences, with their facilitating and self-regulatory role for L2 learners. LLS have, therefore, been preserving their place in L2 research and instruction for half a century. However, despite their well-acknowledged role in L2 learning, some debates and controversies also accompany the interest in LLS. To provide a profound understanding of LLS in L2 learning, the current chapter initially provides a synthesis of prior conceptualizations. Upon defining the concept, the chapter then summarizes the major characteristics and taxonomies of LLS. These are followed by the links between LLS and self-regulation. The chapter then refers to different domains of L2 learning and elucidates the use of LLS in these areas. Finally, the chapter displays how strategy training can help language learners and concludes by outlining some avenues for further research.
Views of School Administrators and Teachers Towards English Teaching and Metaphoric Perceptions Toward English Teaching
Authors: Uygur Özgür
Published: August 2024

The aim of this study is to determine the opinions of school administrators and teachers about teaching English and their perceptions about teaching English through metaphors. The participants of the study consist of 1158 school administrators and teachers. It has been determined that teaching English is necessary; the time allocated to English lessons is not enough; resources for English lessons are not sufficient; the age to start teaching English should be between 4-6 years old; students' attitudes towards English are negative; attitudes of school administrators and teachers towards English are positive; and that all elements in the process of foreign language teaching need to be better equipped. 126 metaphors were created. These metaphors are classified under 10 themes. Themes are “Effort,” “Universality,” “General Culture,” “Necessity,” “Communication,” “Unhappiness,” “Responsibility,” “Process,” “Hope,” and “Hopelessness.” Turkish, knowledge, world, mathematics, learning, water, human, life, mother tongue, and child are the most used metaphors.

Quantum information processing depends on entanglement, which is very important for safe communication and more computer power. For reliable and scalable quantum transmission, decentralized quantum networks need to make sure that entanglement links are spread out and maintained well. In addition, our way can improve future efforts to distribute entanglement by using machine learning to look at how networks have interacted in the past. Concerns and possibilities of using AI-enhanced entanglement distribution systems on real quantum networks are also looked at. Our method combines artificial intelligence with quantum technologies to come up with new and exciting ways to solve problems and get the most out of quantum computing and communication in distributed systems. Ultimately, the strategic incorporation of AI with quantum computing in decentralized networks, in conjunction with the strategic utilization of artificial intelligence to enhance and regulate the allocation of entanglements in quantum networks, has the potential to bring about substantial disruption.
