The article presents the results of inequality perception assessment for the Russian macro-regions (Federal districts) and the demand for redistribution in the context of gender, age, and socio-economic characteristics. The assessment is based on data from the eighth wave of the European Social Survey (2016). The findings show that people in the Central Federal District were more accepting of inequality, while those from Siberia and the Far East were less tolerant. The perception of inequality plays a significant role in shaping the demand for policies aimed at reducing inequality (redistributive policies). Macro-regions fall into three clusters: 1) a cluster with a high tolerance for inequality and a moderate demand for redistribution (southern Russia, central regions, and the North Caucasus), 2) regions with an average tolerance and moderate demand (the Volga region and the North-West), 3) regions with a low tolerance and high demand (Siberia and the Far East). The results of the study confirm that there is interregional differentiation in the assessments of the importance of social equality and justice, as well as in the demand for redistribution within the regions of the Russian Federation. These differences can contribute to increased interregional disparity, reduced investment attractiveness for regions, and an increase in the concentration and centralization of resources in specific territories, potentially harming uniform spatial development efforts.

Amid conditions of global instability in recent years, approximately one-tenth of the residents of Russia consistently report high levels of subjective well-being. The aim of this article is to analyze the socio-demographic characteristics of the “happy and satisfied” segment of Russians and the influence of economic and social capital on their high level of affective and cognitive components of subjective well-being. This study is based on data from the Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey – Higher School of Economics (RLMS-HSE), with surveys conducted from 2016 to 2020. For the purposes of analysis, a stable segment of "fully satisfied with life" and "very happy" Russians (10–12% of 5–6 thousand respondents annually) was selected from the sample array. Economic capital in the study is measured through indicators such as absolute income, assessment of material well-being and remuneration, and perception of economic inequality, while social capital is measured through the structure, intensity, and quality of social connections and the nature of group identity. The analysis of the empirical data shows that people who are fully satisfied with life and happy are aged 25–34, married, have children, and possess average incomes. Low incomes are associated with subjective disadvantage, but for maximum happiness and life satisfaction, it is quite enough to have an average income level. Additionally, the cognitive component of subjective well-being assessments is more related to material and financial factors than the affective component. It is demonstrated that high levels of subjective well-being are more influenced by parameters of social, rather than economic, capital. Representatives of the predominantly happy segment of Russians communicate more frequently with family members and friends, care for young children or grandchildren, and feel a sense of belonging to broader social communities (professional, national, or territorial).
Utilization of 2D MXene Nano Particles in Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries
Authors:   , Mizrak Ali Vala , Kumbur Emin C.
Published: October 2024

Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) have emerged as a well-established, inherently safe, highly modular, and flexible energy storage technology with the unique capability of decoupling power and energy thanks to their architectural advantages. They have high round trip efficiencies and do not decay because of the high depth of discharges. Their responsiveness is quite fast and the aqueous vanadium electrolytes are environmentally friendly. The scalability of flow batteries, which is more cost-effective compared to other solid-state electrochemical systems, overcomes their low power and energy density limitations. Therefore, VRFBs can offer a practical solution to bridge the gap between the adaptation of renewable resources and the recent, increasing demands of the energy market. In VRFBs, redox reactions take place at active sites across the electrode surface without causing any morphological change and/or phase transformations to the electrodes. Carbon felt, graphite felt, and carbon paper are the most used electrode materials to date in VRFBs. However, these carbonaceous materials intrinsically suffer from low electrochemically active surface area, insufficient wetting, and poor kinetic reversibility issues. To overcome these problems and improve carbonaceous electrode performance, electrode surface modification via nanoparticles is an effective way. The research started with precious metals, and metal oxides eventually dwelled on carbon-based electrocatalysts. Although nano particles have already proven their efficacy as catalyst materials in VRFBs, a unique 2-dimensional (2D) nano material, referred to as MXenes, has not received attention despite having been first reported a decade ago in Drexel University. Motivated by this, the primary objective of this Ph.D. thesis is to investigate Ti3C2Tx MXene as a novel anode nano catalyst material in VRFBs. Therefore, one of the most substantial focal points of this work is to understand the effects of physicochemical material properties of 2D MXene sheets on the critical aspects of the performance of VRFBs. Novel methods of Ti3C2Tx MXene utilization in VRFBs were proposed and extensively tested. Electrochemical methods were broadly utilized to analyze battery performance of MXene nanoflakes in various applications such as electrode coating, nanofluidic anolyte, and slurry electrode applications. Lastly, the hydrodynamic behavior of Ti3C2Tx nanoflakes and its effect on battery performance were studied as an essential part of this Ph.D. thesis.
Hope Has Augmented Reality Applications in Science Education Improved Academic Achievement? An Experimental Study
Authors: Varlık Savaş
Published: October 2024

This research was conducted using the random pretest-posttest control group pattern of real experimental design, which is a subset of experimental research designs in the field of quantitative research. The study group consisted of students aged thirteen and fourteen in the eighth grades of private secondary schools affiliated with the Ministry of National Education in Turkey. Twenty students were selected for the experimental group, and twenty students were selected for the control group in an unbiased manner. However, in order to form homogeneous groups, the past academic records of the students of both experimental and control groups were examined before the students were randomly selected. Then, the random selection phase was started. An achievement test was developed for both the control and experimental groups to be used in the research. Additionally, augmented reality flashcards developed by FenAR related to solid, gas, and liquid pressures were used in the experimental group. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS 25 package program. At the beginning of the study, it was determined that students' academic achievements were similar. Significant achievement was obtained in the experimental group, where augmented reality was used, compared to the class taught with a constructivist approach. Augmented reality, used as an educational tool, provided students with the opportunity to make abstract concepts more concrete and visually experience them. It can be concluded that especially complex science topics, when taught with augmented reality, become more understandable through 3D modeling and interactive simulations.

Optimal filtering of an information process depended on noninformative parameters described by Marcovian chain when radio signals are receiving
Authors: Perov A.I.
Published: October 2024

In radio navigation and radio location tasks tracking systems on radio signals parameters often operate when object acceleration has stepwise changing. If we synthesize various tracking systems using optimal filtering theory it is necessary to represent the estimated process as a multidimensional Marcovian process. But such representation for stepwise changed acceleration is a rough approximation that lead to estimates accuracy degradation. One of possible approach to such disambiguation is to describe acceleration as Marcovian chain with finite number of states. This approach is developed in the article. Objective. To synthesize an optimal filtering algorithm of information process depended on noninformative parameters described by Marcovian chain using the observation grouping method when receiving radio signals and to implement simulation for an illustrative task.

Thousands of earthen dams have been built in Russia to create accumulating reservoirs, protect low-lying areas from floods, hydropower and others. Sometimes, due to the presence of underground leaks, erosion of the dam occurs and a breakthrough with catastrophic consequences. Therefore, the task of timely identification of places of underground leaks of earthen dams is urgent. Objective – to show the results of a flight experiment and the practical use of a microwave radiometer mounted on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in order to monitor the condition of an earthen dam in the Voronezh region and the possibility of searching for places of underground leaks. The paper presents the results of an experimental study of the condition of earthen dams. Also, the analysis of the obtained soil moisture maps allows you to determine the locations of possible underground leaks. The results of a flight experiment using a bipolarization microwave radiometer placed on board an unmanned aerial vehicle for remote determination of a portrait of soil moisture can be used to search for places of possible underground leaks. Also, this method of remote measurement of soil moisture can be used for the needs of agriculture, in particular for precision farming systems. In addition, the paper assesses the prospects of using microwave radiometric moisture meters for operational examination of the state of extended hydrological objects.

Authors: Kakati Arup , Singh Yashdeep
Published: October 2024

Chronic otitis media is the leading acquired cause of hearing impairment which may be due to ossicular erosion. Restoration of ossicular chain continuity using autografts and allografts along with tympanoplasty can improve some degree of hearing with limited complications. Institution based prospective study was done on 20 patients diagnosed with chronic otitis media and history of trauma enrolled in the department of ENT and head and neck surgery, GMCH-Guwahati from July 2023-June 2024 to analyse the effectiveness and complications of ossiculoplasty using various autografts and allografts. After 3 months A-B gap was reduced in all the patients who were included in the post- operative follow- up but no significant difference could be elicited in the effectiveness of autografts and allografts. Extrusion of TORP was noted in 1 patient; 1 patient’s graft uptake was not complete which concludes that ossiculoplasty improves the hearing and the risk benefit ratio of complications and quality of life is favourable.

Published: October 2024

Lipoma is one of the commonest mesenchymal tumours arising from fat cells of the adult type. It is benign in nature in majority of cases. However, conversion to liposarcoma is described especially in lipomas situated in the retroperitoneum and thigh. Lipomas may be associated with variety of familial syndromes. In such situations they are mostly multiple. Typical physical signs of lobulated nature, slipping sign and pseudo-fluctuation are diagnostic of benign lipomas. MRI is essential to confirm the exact location, extent and infiltration of the surrounding tissues especially when malignant change is suspected. FNAC helps in establishing the diagnosis. Meticulous complete excision is the mainstay of treatment taking utmost care to avoid breach of capsule. Recurrence rate is extremely low.

Authors: Mendez Gerardo Martinez , Trevino Alan Isaac Valderrama , Juarez Miguel Angel Sierra , Lacayo Valenzuela Marlon Eduardo
Published: October 2024

Background: Chronic venous disease (CVD) affects 25-30% of the adult population in developed countries, significantly impacting quality of life. Endovenous thermal ablation (EVTA) has replaced traditional saphenectomy, but the benefit of combining it with phlebectomy remains debated. This retrospective study compares varicose vein recurrence after EVTA with and without phlebectomy.
Methods: A total of 155 patients from the general hospital of Mexico between 2021 and 2024, classified as CEAP C2-C6, were analyzed. Of these, 83 underwent EVTA with phlebectomy, and 72 underwent only EVTA. Demographic data were analyzed, and recurrence rates, technical success, and complications were compared using chi-square and student’s t tests (p<0.05).
Results: Recurrence rates were lower in the phlebectomy group (14.5%) compared to the non-phlebectomy group (27.2%, p=0.04). The success rate was higher in the phlebectomy group (86.7%) compared to EVTA alone (65.2%, p=0.003). There were no significant differences in complications between the groups.
Conclusions: EVTA with phlebectomy demonstrated better outcomes in terms of recurrence and clinical success. However, minor complications such as bruising should be considered when choosing the treatment.

EMDR therapy and treatment of child victims of violence in peace and war
Authors:   State University of Nis, Milićević Nebojša M.
Published: October 2024

The paper deals with the analysis of experiences in the application of EMDR therapy in working with children who were victims of trauma and violence in war and peace. The effectiveness of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) lies in the effect of bilateral stimulation on brain neurophysiological mechanisms of traumatized children. EMDR treatments, as well as CBT therapy, have shown success in working with children with PTSD based on several criteria. However, analyzes show that positive effects are achieved with the application of EMDR in a shorter time, and the results are more permanent and stable. Based on the results published in numerous clinical trials and meta-analyses, in 2013 the WHO (World Health Organization) recommended EMDR therapy for the treatment of PTSD in children, adolescents and adults. Exposure to war stress in all wars, in all areas, leaves severe consequences, especially for children. The increase in traumatic events in recent years creates a great need for preventive action and the application of EMDR to eliminate the consequences of children's exposure to trauma in war and peacetime conditions. The national EMDR associations of Russia and Serbia (https://www.emdrse-europe.org/) are increasingly focusing their activities on working with children who are victims of violence in war and peace. The mentioned advantages and facts were one of the reasons for the organized inclusion of EMDR therapy in work with trauma victims of mass murders that happened in May 2023 in Serbia. The treatment is very responsible and complex, but it shows significant effects. The evaluation is ongoing and will provide valuable experience in this area.
The genealogy of consumption practices in European culture
Authors:   Belgorod State National Research University, Novak Margarita V.
Published: October 2024

The article draws attention to a new feature of the consumer society – the saving of money in the consumption of goods, the organisation of common capital and the relinquishing of the right of ownership for the right of use. The relevance of considering this feature of consumer society is conditioned both by the problem of overcoming poverty and by the attempt to understand the genesis of consumer practices in the historical development of European society. As a result of a comparative cultural and historical review, the author concludes that such tendencies originated long ago and largely under the influence of the Church. These practices appear to have been, as they are today, a means of combating poverty.

Published: October 2024

Realization of educational process not just attracts to itself various human motives. Essence of education – implementation of initial existential motivation. The essence of education is the realisation of the original existential motivation. Analyses of cultural history show the existence of a basic meaning that can be called educational existential. At the same time, the existential meanings of education are inseparable from the existential appeal of scientific truths.
Two stages of autofiction development
Authors:   Belgorod State National Research University, Belogortsev Andrey D.
Published: October 2024

The article examines the socio-literary phenomenon of “auto-fiction” as a continuous process, the study of which requires systematization of existing research and a more careful study of those which are not yet completed on its new stage of development of the phenomenon of “auto-fiction”. The article proposes to divide the history of autofiction development into two stages: “genre” and “ego-documentary”. The “ego-documentary stage” is examined in detail: identifying how changes in the perception of autobiography have influenced autofiction; identifying acquired egodocumentary features in autofiction; examining how ego-document researchers work with autofictional works; and suggesting the relationship between autofiction and photography in the context of the expanding form of autofictional works. The novelty of the study lies in the application of an interdisciplinary approach, thanks to which it becomes possible to study the reasons of changes in autofiction. This article is relevant due to the study of the modern phenomenon of autofiction and its wide field of application, since it can be used in the field of cultural studies, sociology, philology, psychology, philosophy and many others. The study shows that the perception of autofiction is radically different in the "genre" and "ego-documentary" stages of development, which justifies the division into stages; a direction for an even greater expansion of the concept of "autofiction", concerning both the form of the work and its content, is identified.

The Ideological Factor Strengthens Political Identity for Increasing Vote in General Elections in Indonesia
Authors: Pamungkas Puguh Wiji
Published: October 2024

Identity politics is a threat to democracy in many countries, including Indonesia. At the same time, in Indonesia, the number of Muslim voters reached 80%. Muslim voters are the majority group and are vulnerable to identity politics, given their character that is easily influenced to follow certain behaviors. This research has an urgency to reveal how big the threat of identity politics is to Muslim voters, especially in Malang Regency, East Java. The choice of Malang Regency, East Java, as the object of the research is attributed to the fact that the majority of the population in that location are traditional Muslims, and Muslim educational institutions, such as Islamic boarding schools and Muslim schools, are the most numerous in East Java. This research uses a qualitative analytical approach to reveal the phenomenon of identity politics among Muslim voters carried out by political parties. The findings of this research revealed that identity politics is strengthening among Muslim voters, driven by three factors: political elites, mass media, and institutions. This is relevant to the theory put forward by Theresia Kuhn. However, there are other factors that strengthen identity politics that are not put forward by Kuhn, namely, ideological factors. The ideology of the party is the same as the ideology of the majority of voters. This is a novelty in this study, which differs from Kuhn’s research and other studies.

The Impact of Local and Foreign Investments on the Domestic Development on an International Scale on Social Equality and Environmental Support (Green Governance) of the Indonesian People
Authors: Kusuma Muhammad Rizky Haryo , Samudra Dimas Ahmad Cakra , Nurita Riski Febria
Published: October 2024

This study examines the impact of foreign and local investors’ interference in the national development as a form of President Joko Widodo’s government program on social equality and environmental support for Indonesia’s lower-level communities. Joko Widodo as the Indonesian President since the beginning of his term initiated infrastructure development throughout Indonesia, inviting foreign and local investors. These investors can rapidly raise the value of the Indonesian economy. The high value of the Indonesian economy also hurts various communities, especially on the social level of Indonesian society. Social equality in Indonesia has not achieved a balanced value among its people, which leads to social inequality in all aspects of social welfare of the Indonesian people.. Environmental support for people who experience social inequality is not achieved, this can be viewed in terms of shelter, food, clean water intake, and several other aspects that do not support the lives of people with social inequality. This research aims to realize how influential investors and the development of the Indonesian nation are on their communities, especially among the lower level who are not reached by the Indonesian government as a form of support for environmental welfare. The study recommends investors make breakthroughs that provide benefits for people with low social levels so that they do not experience further deterioration in life, the government must also play an effective role in realizing decent environmental support (green environment) to achieve social equality.

This research aimed to identify the role of the agricultural sector in achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs). One of the SDGs related to the agricultural sector was Goal 2, zero hunger. Before assessing the extent of the agricultural sector’s role by measuring the achievement level of indicators in Goal 2, another challenge in evaluating sustainable development progress was data availability. This study employed a case study approach in two areas: Madiun District and Madiun City. The research findings revealed that in Madiun District, out of the 11 indicators in Goal 2, 4 indicators lacked data. In terms of achievement levels, five indicators were achieved and two were not achieved. In contrast, Madiun City had data for each indicator, with eight indicators achieved and three not achieved. The research concluded that data availability for development indicators at the municipal government level was significantly better compared to the district level. The urgency of data availability lies in obtaining an overview of sustainable development achievement in a region and determining future steps through policies and strategic measures, particularly in supporting sectors like agriculture.

Published: October 2024

Abstract. Banyuwangi is one of the regions in Indonesia which is experiencing massive tourism growth. This also encourages growth in related sectors, one of which is the food industry. MSMEs in the food industry continue to grow in Banyuwangi, and the level of concern for halal-certified products continues to increase. This research aims to help optimize digitally certified halal MSMEs with the ease of submitting halal certification online. It is expected to increase the interest of MSME actors to take care of halal certification. This study uses SWOT analysis to determine the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges for halal food products in Banyuwangi. Respondents in this study are certified Halal Companions, MSMEs in the food sector, and the Cooperative Office. Results show that the lack of information related to halal certification among business owners is one of the problems that are widely encountered. Massive dissemination of information related to halal certification to businesses through various media is suggested. In addition, meeting business owners directly is expected to minimize this gap.

This study aims to provide an overview of sweet bread production as an alternative in planning and developing teaching factories based on business feasibility projection analysis. A quantitative technique was applied in this research. Survey techniques and statistical tests were used to examine the hypotheses. To demonstrate that an institution can and should continue its sweet bread business, several variables were measured, including the Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Net Present Value (NPV), Return on Investment (ROI), Benefit–Cost Ratio (B/C ratio), Payback Period (PBP), and Break Event Point (BEP), providing further information for Business Model Canvas analysis of a business model. Based on the BMC, the value propositions are a variety of sweet bread, ease of access, affordable prices, quality, and taste. Key activities include sweetbread production, stock management, marketing and promotion, and customer service. Customer segmentation involves students, lecturers, staff, and institutional visitors. An analysis of financial projections reveals that business is feasible. This can be seen from IRR = 53,19%; the NPV > 0 is equal to IDR 85,222,327; ROI = 216.69%; B/C ratio =1.07; BCR > 1; PBP = 41 months; and BEP = IDR 5,528,669.25.

Published: October 2024

The food crisis is a real problem in various regions around the world, including Indonesia. This phenomenon is influenced by the rate of population growth which is increasing while farmlands are depleting due to the conversion of land into settlements, especially in Riau Province which is experiencing food security threats. Food security projections are made to provide an overview of the future condition of food security in Riau Province to support sustainability. The basic data used are data for 2018 and 2019. The measurement method used is the scenario method and then the availability calculation method according to Minister of Agriculture Regulation Number 43/Permentan/OT.140/7/2010. Meanwhile, the calculation of food needs uses a formula taking into account the average consumption per capita per year from the regional agriculture service multiplied by the population in the year concerned. Then, the projections are measured using the arithmetic population growth formula approach for food availability and the geometric population growth formula for the food needs of the population. The food commodity in Riau Province used in the analysis is rice. The calculation results show that in the future food availability in Riau Province will not be able to meet its food needs.

Social Media Use and Emotional Regulation in Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Longitudinal Examination of Moderating Factors
Authors: Nwoke Linda, Ifeanyi
Published: October 2024

Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) face unique emotional regulation challenges, potentially exacerbated by social media use. This longitudinal study investigates the relationship between social media use and emotional regulation in adolescents with ASD, examining moderating effects of online social support, platform type, and usage duration. Survey data from 150 adolescents with ASD (13-18 years) were collected at two time points, six months apart. Emotional regulation was assessed using standardized measures. Excessive social media use (>2 hours/day) predicted increased emotional dysregulation, while moderated use (<1 hour/day) and online social support mitigated these effects. Platform type (visual-centric vs. text-based) and usage duration emerged as significant moderators. This study provides novel insights into the complex interplay between social media use and emotional regulation in adolescents with ASD, informing evidence-based guidelines for healthy social media engagement and targeted interventions.
The Psychological Impact of Live Broadcasting On Mental Health: A Comparative Study of Radio And Television Presenters
Authors: Nwoke Linda, Ifeanyi
Published: October 2024

Live broadcasting is a high-pressure profession that demands optimal performance under intense scrutiny. This exploratory study investigates the psychological impact of live broadcasting on mental health, focusing on pre- and post-broadcast anxiety. A mixed-methods approach combining survey data (n = 100) and in-depth interviews (n = 20) was used with broadcast professionals. Seventy-five percent of participants reported increased anxiety levels before live broadcasts, with peak anxiety occurring 30 minutes prior to broadcast. Post-broadcast anxiety persisted in 40% of participants, with symptoms lasting up to two hours. Multivariate analysis revealed significant predictors of pre-broadcast anxiety: experience (β = -0.23, p < 0.01), self-efficacy (β = -0.31, p < 0.001), and social support (β = -0.25, p < 0.01). This study highlights the significant psychological impact of live broadcasting on mental health, underscoring the need for targeted interventions. By understanding the predictors of pre- and post-broadcast anxiety, broadcasters and mental health professionals can develop evidence-based strategies to mitigate these effects, thereby enhancing well-being and performance in high-pressure broadcasting environments. Specifically, the findings have important implications for informing evidence-based guidelines for broadcast professionals' mental health support, developing anxiety-reduction interventions tailored to live broadcasting contexts, and enhancing broadcast engineering design to incorporate mental health considerations.
Dziennik z getta łódzkiego / Das Tagebuch aus dem Lodzer Getto

Od godziny siódmej do dziesiątej ciągle nie ma chleba. Straszny głód. Jest mi niedobrze od żołądka i jestem całkowicie osłabiona. Nie jestem już w stanie pościelić dwóch prycz, nogi już mnie nie niosą. Cud, że ręka jeszcze pisze. Biorę walerianę bez cukru, kładę się. Bubi z głodu liże kwasek cytrynowy. Jest godzina jedenasta i jego ciągle jeszcze nie ma z chlebem. Wszystko w nas się trzęsie. On ma kartkę na chleb, a nikt nic nam nie pożyczy. Dwa takie dni i nie będzie nas wśród żywych.

Semantic and Pragmatic Analysis of a Turkish Sadness Verb Hüzünlen-
Authors: Demir Süleyman , Özyıldırım Işıl
Published: October 2024

This study provides a semantic and pragmatic analysis of the Turkish verb "hüzünlen-" which conveys the meaning of sadness. Following a corpus-driven approach, query sequences from the Turkish National Corpus (TNC) were analysed according to the Extended Lexical Units model proposed by Stubbs (2005). In this context, 284 query sequences found in real spoken and written language samples were examined to determine the lexical profile of the verb "hüzünlen-." The aim of the study is to reveal the semantic and pragmatic usage differences of the verb "hüzünlen-" compared to other verbs expressing sadness. In this regard, the syntactic features, collocational tendencies, and context-dependent semantic and pragmatic characteristics of the verb "hüzünlen-" were thoroughly investigated. As a corpus-driven study, this research is the result of an inductive examination. The study demonstrated that the lexical framework of the verb "hüzünlen-" implies a sudden, intense sadness often related to past events and circumstances. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the cultural and linguistic features of expressing sadness in Turkish, as well as to comprehending the cognitive aspects of the emotion of sadness. Furthermore, the results of the study offer significant insights into how expressions of sadness are shaped in linguistic and cultural contexts in Turkish, allowing for a broader perspective on the linguistic representation of sadness. This research suggests that the verb "hüzünlen-" should be examined not only in Turkish but also in comparison with similar emotional expressions in other languages. Thus, it can contribute to understanding the universal and culture-specific features of language and emotion.
