Courier services as a determinant for improving the "last mile" logistics in Poland
Authors: Smyk Stanisław
Published: December 2023

W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań odzwierciedlające istotę i właściwości usług kurierskich, a także przesłanki do doskonalenia logistyki „ostatniej mili” w Polsce. Współczesne opracowania naukowe koncentrują się na identyfikacji specyfiki logistyki, którą postrzega się przez jej wielowymiarowość. Niewątpliwie logistyka „ostatniej mili” może być traktowana jako część logistyki dystrybucji i w dobie burzliwego rozwoju handlu elektronicznego powinna być przedmiotem badań naukowych. Istnieje pewna niejednoznaczność związana z identyfikacją istoty usług kurierskich jako elementu rynku usług logistycznych. Usługi te są świadczone przez operatorów pocztowych i istotnie wpływają na rozwiązania logistyczne w obszarze dystrybucji i obsługi posprzedażnej.
Celem badań było określenie właściwości usług kurierskich w Polsce, w tym ich mankamentów, i wskazanie możliwości wdrożenia zmian w logistyce „ostatniej mili” koniecznych do wyeliminowania stwierdzonych niedoskonałości. Badania były skoncentrowane na rozwiązaniu następującego naukowego problemu badawczego: Jakie usługi posiadają kluczowe znaczenie na rynku usług pocztowych w Polsce i jakie zasadnicze błędy w zakresie logistyki „ostatniej mili” należy wyeliminować, aby poprawić jakość obsługi klientów? Uzyskane wyniki badań pozwoliły zweryfikować pozytywnie następującą hipotezę badawczą: Kluczowe znaczenie wśród usług pocztowych posiadają usługi kurierskie, przy czym nadal będą dominować krajowe przesyłki kurierskie. Głównymi mankamentami aktualnie stosowanych rozwiązań logistycznych są: uszkodzenia przesyłek; opóźnienia w stosunku do gwarantowanego terminu dostawy i utrata przesyłek.
W konsekwencji sprecyzowano istotę usług kurierskich, jako jednego z rodzajów usług pocztowych, określono zasadnicze ich właściwości i wykazano, że krajowe przesyłki kurierskie będą nadal dominować wśród usług pocztowych. Zidentyfikowane zostały także główne mankamenty aktualnie stosowanych rozwiązań logistycznych, a mianowicie uszkodzenia przesyłek; opóźnienia w stosunku do gwarantowanego terminu dostawy i utrata przesyłek na ostatnim etapie dostaw, co było podstawą do wskazania możliwości doskonalenia rozwiązań z zakresu logistyki „ostatniej mili”.

Minimum spanning tree analysis for epilepsy magnetoencephalography (MEG) data
Authors: Shin Sunhan , Chung Chun Kee , Kim Jaehee
Published: December 2023

Aim: Recently, brain network research is actively conducted through the application of graph theory. However, comparison between brain networks is subject to bias issues due to topological characteristics and heterogeneity across subjects. The minimum spanning tree (MST) is a method that is increasingly applied to overcome the thresholding problem. In this study, the aim is to use the MST analysis in comparing epilepsy patients and controls to find the differences between groups.
Methods: The MST combines entities for epileptic magnetoencephalography (MEG) data. The MST was applied and compared to 21 left surgery (LT) and 21 right surgery (RT) patients with epilepsy and good postoperative prognosis and a healthy control (HC) group. MST metrics such as betweenness centrality, eccentricity, diameter, and leaf fraction, are computed and compared to describe the integration and efficiency of the network. The MST analysis is applied to each subject, and then the integrated MST is obtained using the distance concept. This approach can be advantageous when comparing the topological structure of patients to controls with the same number of nodes.
Results: The HC group showed less topological change and more network efficiency than the epilepsy LT and RT groups. In addition, the posterior cingulate gyrus was found as a hub node only in the patient group in individual and integrated subject data analysis.
Conclusions: This study suggests propose that the hippocampus borrows from the default network when one side fails, compensating for the weakened function.

Authors:   Shakarim University, ZHANKADAMOVA G.A.
Published: December 2023

The study of the history of the deportation of peoples in the memory of generations is one of the factors of the development of cognitive motivation of students. The problem of increasing motivation in the educational process serves as a means of increasing the effectiveness of educational activities.The memory of generations or historical memory is the most important component of the historical consciousness of any nation. A lot of time has passed since the deportations, and today there are very few people left alive who remember those terrible events. The study of the memories of witnesses of those distant events, as well as the ideas of the descendants of the deported about these events, contributes to the development of cognitive motivation of students.

Authors:   Comrat State University, Moscow Art and Industry Institute, А.К. PAPTOVA
Published: December 2023

The article considers the specifcs of the formation of the image of the past of the Gagauzes and the reminiscence of the Soviet period in it. The Soviet cultural project infuenced the image of the Gagauz past, conveying to it such features as optimism, globalism and the pathos of creation. The ideas and themes of the Soviet cultural project are refected in the symbols of the Gagauz autonomy, in monumental art, in museum exhibitions and toponymy. Despite the infuence of the memory policy pursued in the country, attitudes towards the Soviet period have not changed dramatically, although they are evolving. Currently, new “places of memory” are emerging. They complement the memories of the Soviet period in the history of Gagauz society and update them.

Published: December 2023

The information about the planography of the village received from the old-timers of Krapivino in the 1970s-1990s is considered. This village, like several others, were built by peasants who used to live in the area of the Kuznetsk fortress. Based on the stories of residents born in 1880-1930, it was established that there were two old parts of the village and a trade area between its in the XVIII century. The author believes that each part was inhabited by related families. The third part of the village began to form in the XIX century. Within these borders, the village existed almost until the middle of the XX century. It is noted that persons born in 1950 and the later ones are poorly aware of the legends about the early years of the functioning of the village.

Authors:   Center for Social Anthropology of the Russian State University for the Humanities, PRIGARIN A.A.
Published: December 2023

On the basis of the original source - photo albums of one taiga Old Believer-chapel, both techniques of external and internal criticism of such data are characterized, and the method of fxing such a type of historical and ethnographic evidence is being worked out. Heuristic value provides as rare for the 1970-1990sthe “hobby” of the owner is the occupation of amator photography (we state that until the time of our research in the ethno-confessional group there was a ban on such practice). The biography of this personality is typical for the group as a whole - the change of several settlements during one life (in this case - from Verkhoviy to the Middle Course of the Yenisei). Such mobility, along with the “documentation” of the main stages of resettlement, allows you to directly reconstruct the phenomenon of “religious migrations.”

Published: December 2023

The article analyzes the attitude towards large families of urban Kazakh women (university students). The analysis is based on the data of the author’s sociological study “Regional Features of the Reproductive Attitudes of Kazakh Female Students”, which was conducted for three years (2021-2023) and allows us to consider the processes of transformation of reproductive attitudes in the medium term and in the context of the active urbanization of the Kazakh ethnic group. There is a high percentage of respondents planning to become mothers of many children. The authors concluded that there is a contradiction between identity based on ethno-traditional and religious values, on the one hand, and the desire for modernized forms of success, on the other. The significance of the proposed material lies in a complex combination of multidirectional factors: the high level of ethnic identity characteristic of the modern Kazakh population (because of the acquired state sovereignty) was superimposed on the processes of active urbanization...

MIGRATION ACTIVITY AND PRODUCTION AND ECONOMIC ACTIVITY OF FOREIGN ASIANS IN THE ALTAI BORDER REGION OF RUSSIA IN THE XX - EARLY 20S OF THE XXI CENTURY
Authors:   Altai State Pedagogical University, BOYKO V.S.
Published: December 2023

Foreign Asians are the largest group of foreign citizens, although at some points they could remain citizens of the Russian Empire or the Soviet Union. Their production and economic activity directly depended on migration activity, that is, the ability and desire to engage in the most popular types of entrepreneurship (for example, allowed during the NEP years) and other creative activities. In different periods of the history of Russia/the USSR, their certain characteristics as foreign citizens, including their position as stateless persons, came to the fore. Only in the period after the Second World War, the policy of protecting the borders of Russia/the USSR and migration fows - their orientation, quantitative and qualitative characteristics - begin to change dramatically. So, in particular, citizens of the former USSR become the main migration fow, they apply for various quotas, choose and accordingly change the business atmosphere of certain regions of Russia, primarily border regions, which include Altai.

Published: December 2023

The article analyzed the functions of a ram in the ritual practice of Khakas associated with the world of childhood. It is determined that the animal in question had great economic value and extreme demand in many areas of human life. It was revealed that the sacred function of the animal was expressed in endowing it with protective properties. The image of the ram and individual parts of his body acted as a popular charm and symbol of fertility. All this contributed to giving the ram a high semiotic status. In this regard, he was widely involved in rituals related to the child cycle - birth, name, etc.

Lyckans platser i gränsområdet mellan det imaginära och verkliga
Authors: Klinkmann Sven-Erik
Published: December 2023

I denna undersökning tar jag fasta på hur lyckan och det lyckliga knyts till vissa platser i gränsområdet mellan det imaginära och verkliga. Min utgångspunkt är att man i detta konstruerande av lyckans platser speciellt tydligt kan iaktta hur mytiska element opererar inom områden som annars vanligtvis tenderar att betraktas som vardagliga, praktiskt orienterade och verklighetsbetonade. Framställningar av lyckans platser studerar jag genom att analysera några olika exempel med fokus på deras kulturella dynamik och resonans.

(O)lyckans kulturella praktiker
Authors: Wanström Sofia
Published: December 2023

I detta nummer av Budkavlen reflekterar författarna kring lyckans kulturella dimensioner. Hur den förstås, var den återfinns, samt hur den förhandlas med sin uppfattade motpol, olyckan. Lycka är ett ämne som länge intresserat människor, men uppfattningarna om vad såväl lycka som olycka innebär har varierat. I ett mer individualiserat samhälle har lyckan blivit en fråga om den enskilde individens ansvar för sitt liv och sin framtid. Förståelsen av lycka har därmed möjligtvis skiftat; från en uppfattning om lycka som en självständig, ödesbestämd kraft, till att snarare ses som en känsla och något som som individen själv kan och bör påverka.
Lyckan som det högsta målet för en persons liv tycks vara en ledstrjärna i samtiden, med följden att kulturella, historiska och samhälleliga strukturer som formar mämnniskans livsvillkor ofta hamnar i skymundan. Alla är sin egen lyckas smed, men vad och hur förväntas vi smida?

Published: December 2023

This study aims to determine the impact of drug abuse on social and family economics. To find out the impact of drug abuse on social and family economics in the perspective of sharia economics. The approach in this research is qualitative research. The subjects in this study are drug users and one of the family members of users and also members of the management of the Baitu Syifa Medan Drug Rehabilitation Institute.  The data source of this research is an interview conducted to the head of the household or family members who use drugs. The data collection techniques are observation method, interview method, documentation method, triangulation. Data analysis is an effort to find and organize systematically the records of observation, interviews, by means of data reduction, data display (presentation of data), data conclusion and data verification. The impact of drug abuse on social family. The results showed that the impact of drug abuse on social indicators, namely user education and user families, concluded that both informants had completed their college education before falling into using drugs. Or it can be interpreted that they used drugs when they were already in the work environment. From a psychological point of view, this can be seen from the divorce that occurred, while the psychological impact on parents and other families is to feel depressed and frightened due to changes in the behavior of users who are very aggressive and temperamental. The impact of drug abuse on the family economy is that the three informants interviewed are all unproductive and can no longer work properly, especially since all informants have been using drugs for a very long time. HI only works twice a week, AM can no longer work. Informant S, because he owns a dental clinic business inherited from his family, can still be said to be able to work but because he is dependent on consuming 4 times a week, S also has a history of heart disease due to consuming drugs so that it will interfere with his work productivity. In the perspective of Islamic economics, every family must ensure the welfare of its family members by fulfilling their every need both in terms of social, economic, and spiritual aspects. However, a person's involvement in drug abuse will damage their economic security so that they cannot provide welfare to their family members. Users will spend their income to buy drugs so that they cannot fulfill their personal needs, borrow money from parents and relatives, and even have to pawn some of their property because they are very dependent.

Cultura organizacional e assédio: percepções e contribuições da ouvidoria
Authors: Celestino da Silva Helizena , Guesser Prazeres Janaina , Pereira de Holanda Cavalcanti Patricia , Carvalho Santos Yusca
Published: December 2023

Resumo A cultura organizacional representa a personalidade de uma empresa e pode ser verificada por meio das atitudes e comportamentos dos colaboradores que nela laboram. O presente artigo discorre sobre Direitos Humanos no ambiente de trabalho e sobre o impacto da cultura organizacional nos colaboradores e nas relações em todos os níveis hierárquicos. Um ponto de destaque está na descrição dos tipos de assédio, os comportamentos característicos do assediador e outros agentes importantes: o assediado e o espectador. Expressões estrangeiras surgiram nesse universo para nomear comportamentos que já são comuns nas organizações, mas que agora ganham denominações que repercutem de forma expressiva nas redes sociais – quiet firing e quiet quitting – “demissão silenciosa” e “desistência silenciosa”, respectivamente. Exemplos simples de como a ouvidoria pode contribuir para a identificação da causa raiz e o planejamento de ações preventivas e corretivas, ao estimular a utilização de ferramentas de gestão para a tomada de decisão, demonstram que o enfrentamento e o combate ao assédio devem fazer parte de sua missão. Uma nova possibilidade para que a ouvidoria vá além do escopo como canal de comunicação e de ferramenta de gestão estratégica sugere que ela deve desempenhar também o papel de ouvidoria educadora, atuando de forma preventiva/educativa, colaborando na reestruturação de conceitos, procedimentos e na educação dos colaboradores quanto à cultura organizacional, além de contribuir para a substituição da cultura da competitividade e individualismo pela de colaboração e estímulo ao aprendizado e melhorias contínuas. Palavras-chave: Cultura organizacional. Assédio. Causa raiz. Ouvidoria educadora.
Bien común: la relevancia del pensamiento económico de Alberto Hurtado en el Chile actual
Authors: Morales - Torres Patricio , Astudillo Astudillo Jesús
Published: December 2023

La complejidad del Chile de hoy permite reflexionar sobre la vigencia del discurso de Alberto Hurtado, concretamente en la situación social y económica presente, a la luz de su obra ¿Es Chile un país católico?, de 1941. Esta surge en el contexto de una polarización ideológica que trajo impactos políticos y sociales a consecuencia de la transición del régimen parlamentario al presidencialista. Este enfrentamiento llevó incluso a la prevalencia de la violencia armada sobre las ideas, como resultado de la falta de acuerdos políticos, acompañada de problemáticas económicas internacionales, lo que generó malestar en la vida pública. La gobernanza se vio restringida por la lucha partidista, según una dinámica en la que los partidos competían por el poder con artimañas y promesas incumplidas, lo que Hurtado llamó “politiquería”.
De ahí que la figura de Alberto Hurtado cobra una relevancia significativa, ya que emerge en un contexto en el que principalmente son los grupos oligárquicos los que toman posesión del Estado, estableciéndose acuerdos que redundaban en beneficio de sí mismos, sin atención a la miseria de la gran población chilena; esta situación distaba de los principios, valores y enseñanzas de la Iglesia, que no lograban permear a las élites ni incidir en las condiciones laborales y la economía de la época. Uno de los principales problemas detectados por el jesuita se relacionaba con el consumo ostentoso de bienes y servicios por parte de las personas que tenían acceso a ellos, situación que lo llevó a cuestionar los valores católicos de la sociedad de su tiempo. Hoy, en el Chile de 2023, surge la pregunta: ¿cuál sería la conducta ideal que debería adoptar un católico en el ámbito económico?
Este artículo busca ofrecer una perspectiva basada en el pensamiento de Alberto Hurtado, considerando cómo su visión de la economía y de la ética de los negocios podría hacer un aporte al bien común en el  Chile de hoy. Con este fin, no nos adentramos en aspectos económicos y técnicos de manera exhaustiva desde Hurtado, pues no es el fin que el santo jesuita perseguía en su tiempo.
Have we lost touch with the Prophet Amos's warning? Church leaders and blood money rituals among youths in Nigeria
Authors: Uroko F.C.
Published: December 2023

This article reviews the literature on how religious leaders in Nigeria have become complacent and conspire in thecorrupt activities of members of their congregations. Church leaders, who are meant to be guardians of ethics and morality, have lost it and are now dining with and covering people of dubious character. Some of these young people who engage in money rituals give money to these pastors, who accept it without inquiry. These young people are revered in the church and receive special prayers and honours. Others, who aspire to the same honours, seek ways to generate quick cash. This study investigates the role of church leaders in the growing ritual activities among Nigerian youths. It concludes by admonishing church leaders to emulate the life of Jesus, who was not afraid to speak the truth to the people whomhe was shepherding.
The dialogical theology of Hans Küng: Clash between the Catholic Mission and Islamic Da’wah in Indonesia
Authors: Riyanto W.F. , Galle’ P.T.
Published: December 2023

This article explains the clash between the Catholic mission and Islamic Da’wah in Indonesia, as viewed from the theological perspective of Hans Küng (1928-2021). Küng was neither an orientalist nor an Islamologist; he was a Catholic theologian who contributed to interreligious dialogue for world peace. The primary source of data in this study is Küng’s work. The study findings assert that Küng proposed a dialogical-theological concept that is established on three pillars, namely autocritique of religion, global ethic, and dialogue among civilisations. Küng’s “dialogue among civilisations” is an antithesis to “clash of civilisations” proposed by S.P. Huntington (1927-2008). The findings indicate relevance in the Indonesian context. The three pillars are in line with the concept of Rational Islam, universal values in Pancasila, and the presence of the Center of Religious Harmony ofthe Republic of Indonesia.

The idea of settling down conflicts with the prophecy of returning home in the book of Jeremiah, and it sounds odd to encourage prayer for the enemy. Typical solutions focus on the strategy of survival. However, these solutions are not convincing enough because the language used in Jeremiah 29:5-7 indicates that the exhortation involves not survival but restoration. Given the background of national trauma behind the book of Jeremiah, this article proposes rereading Jeremiah 29:5-7 from the perspective of posttraumatic growth (PTG). Accordingly, the exhortation to settle down reflects the domain of appreciation of life in PTG, and the exhortation to pray for Babylon indicates the belief in a just world for self (BJW-self), which is closely related to PTG and entails forgiving others.

Acting queerly: Jonah as the implicated subject and vulnerability
Authors: Snyman G.F.
Published: December 2023

The article poses the following question: how is queerness implicated in the Book of Jonah? Queerness is viewed more in the light of politics than identity, defining the term more in relation to power and the questioning of power than in the light of gender and sexuality. A decolonial turn is incorporated into Queer Hermeneutics. After a brief presentation of the story, the article looks at specific points of departure involved in the reading of the book: a double ethics of interpretation, vulnerability, and an implicated subject. With these in mind, the question about queerness in the Book of Jonah is discussed. The essay concludes that the spectacle of the conversion of the Ninevites constitutes a drag performance whilst Jonah’s watching of this drag performance queers himself in as much as he suffers the heat and wind while remaining silent.

A decolonial reading of the Third Chapter of the Gospel of John in Moffat’s Translation of the Catechism into Setswana (1826)
Authors: Mothoagae I.D.
Published: December 2023

The Setswana language is one of the Southern African languages that was “reduced” into a written language through the translation of Christian literature by the London Missionary Society. The introduction of the Setswana spelling book in 1826 epitomised the vernacularisation and standardisation of Setswana. In 1826, Robert Moffat also translated the first Setswana catechism. Rev. William Brown’s Catechism served as a source text. He also added the third chapter of the Gospel of John and the Lord’s Prayer. This paper focuses on the second section of the 1826 Setswana catechism, namely the third chapter of John’s Gospel. It is argued that translation does not happen in a vacuum; rather, it also has the ideological intentions of the translator. Through the translated texts, Moffat performs a technology of power by eroding, dislocating, and disassociating the Batswana from their epistemic and spiritual heritage. The paper applies a decolonial lens to analyse the theme of conversion (metanoia) in the Gospel of John, as translated by Moffat.
The depiction of Orania in the media (2013-2022): A quantitative analysis using Natural Language Processing (NLP)
Authors: Senekal Burgert
Published: December 2023

The current article investigates the depiction of the town of Orania in the media. Being an exclusive Afrikaner town, this town is highly controversial and is often seen as a remnant of apartheid, leading residents of this town to form the perception that the media treats them unfairly. Using Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, namely a lexicon-based sentiment analysis classification and a machine-learning political bias classification, it is shown that the vast majority of news reports and opinion pieces on this town exhibit minimal political bias, and publications on this town are evenly distributed between left and right political bias. In addition, while the majority of news reports and opinion pieces published on this town are neutral, more publications are positive than negative. However, differences in the depiction of this town based on the language of publications are also discussed, with English publications more negative and Afrikaans publications more positive, and the majority of publications on this town are in Afrikaans. Overall, the study finds that while some individual publications present Orania in a very negative light, in general, the media reports on this town in a balanced way.
Safety of Journalists from a Gendered Perspective: Evidence from Female Journalists in Ghana’s Rural and Peri-Urban Media

This study sought to explore the safety risks female journalists working in Ghana`s rural and peri-urban media encounter while doing their work, how safe they feel and how they are coping with safety breaches. Thirteen semi-structured interviews with female journalists employed by Ghanaian broadcast media outlets in rural and peri urban areas were undertaken. Guided by Braun and Clark’s (2006) six steps for qualitative data analysis, interview transcripts were thematically analysed. It was found that physical and emotional security threats; poor working conditions were the main threats to female journalists working in Ghana’s rural and peri urban media. While there are generally bad working conditions, some participants believe that men receive more benefits and opportunities for professional growth than women. Compared to their male peers, females are occasionally ridiculed and refused training and professional opportunities. When there are safety violations, employers generally offer little assistance. Female journalists cope with violations and insecurities by self-censoring, avoiding working during specific hours of the day, and steering clear of reporting conflicts, politics, and elections as a safety measure. The study recommends that to avoid maladaptive actions by journalists, media organisations address the safety needs of their female journalists. Journalists themselves should look out for personal security initiatives to enhance their skills.
This is Undignified! Comparing the Representation of Human Dignity on Cheaters and Uyajola 9/9
Authors: Molefe Motsamai , Ngcongo Mthobeli
Published: December 2023

Calls have resonated within media scholarship and practice for more ethical oversight in the production and distribution of media content by producers through ethical frameworks. This article intervenes in the literature on the global debate around media ethics frameworks by focusing on the underexploredvalue of human dignity in the context of television reality shows. The article makes two interventions in relation to the value of dignity, one theoretical and another applied. The theoretical intervention, contrary to the tendency to rely on Western cultures and theories to conceptualise human dignity, draws from a Global South perspective, specifically from the African ethical idea of Ubuntu that proffers a relational (as opposed to an individualist) conception of human dignity. The applied ethics intervention responds to the scant literature focusing on the representation of human dignity in media ethics. The article uses Ubuntu’s theory of human dignity to compare the representation of participants on similar factual television shows from the United States of America (USA) and South Africa depicting relational infidelity. Multimodal critical discourse analysis from three episodes of Cheaters and three episodes of South Africa’s Uyajola 9/9 (n=6) reveal that human dignity in the representation of the participants in these two shows is often neglected in the media production process, leaving many questions about the global and local media ethics of these two reality shows.
The Breakthrough Listen Search for Intelligent Life: Detection and Characterization of Anomalous Transits in Kepler Lightcurves

Never before has the detection and characterization of exoplanets via transit photometry been as promising and feasible as it is now, due to the increasing breadth and sensitivity of time domain optical surveys. Past works have made use of phase-folded stellar lightcurves in order to study the properties of exoplanet transits because this provides the highest signal that a transit is present at a given period and ephemeris. Characterizing transits on an individual, rather than phase-folded, basis is much more challenging due to the often low signal-to-noise ratio of lightcurves, missing data, and low sampling rates. However, by phase folding a lightcurve we implicitly assume that all transits have the same expected properties, and lose all information about the nature and variability of the transits. We miss the natural variability in transit shapes, or even the deliberate or inadvertent modification of transit signals by an extraterrestrial civilization (for example, via laser emission or orbiting megastructures). In this work, we develop an algorithm to search stellar lightcurves for individual anomalous (in timing or depth) transits, and we report the results of that search for 218 confirmed transiting exoplanet systems from Kepler.
Improved Period Variations of 32 Contact Binaries with Rapidly Decreasing Periods in the Galactic Bulge

Published: December 2023

We present detailed analyses of updated eclipse timing diagrams for 32 contact binary merger candidates in the Galactic bulge. The photometric data was obtained from 2016 to 2021 using the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network with the 1.6 m telescopes located at three southern sites (CTIO, SAAO, and SSO). The times of minimum lights were determined by applying the binary-star model to full light curves created at half-year intervals from the observations. The orbital period variations of the binary systems were analyzed using the O − C diagrams from our new timings with the others published in the literature, which are based on the OGLE observations from 2001 to 2015. As results, the orbital periods and period-decreasing rates of 32 binary systems were located to be in the ranges of 0.370 to 1.238 days and from −3.0 to −13.1 × 10−6 day yr−1, respectively. Out of these stars, 24 systems show a combination effect of a parabola and a light travel time caused by a third body, and their outer orbital periods are in the range of 9.1–26.5 yr. We propose that all of our merger candidates need additional monitoring observations to study a luminous-red nova progenitor.
