Stages of Development of Russian Foreign Policy
Authors: Votápek Vladimír
Published: October 2024

The key to understanding modern Russian history is the question of whether Russia is allowed in its development, does it appeal to Western values ​​and ideological schemes, or does it try to search specifically Russian ways of civilizational development. The conflict between these two orientations is far from over decided and with the passage of time it seems that in the foreseeable future it will not even be clearly resolved in favor of one of the two options. Modern and democratic Russia meet and will meet the Russia of old instincts and phobias.
In Russia conservative and overlooked the needs of the individual strengthen the influence of social groups based on other, more European ones standards and values. Proponents of these orientations were called at another time and on another occasion Westerners and Slavophiles. Today we could name these two groups as, for example Euro-Atlantists and Eurasians, but the essence of their division remains the same - there is a difference between them dispute over the modernization of Russia.

Comparison of UAV Orthophoto and Ground Survey at a Flood Protection Embankment
Authors: Kutassy Emese
Published: October 2024

In the study, I compare the elevation data of points obtained from an orthophoto taken from a drone with the heights of points measured from the area by ground survey procedure and measuring station. I examine the usability of the points determined from the orthophoto for flood protection and for assessing flood protection embankments. I present the difficulties of assessing floodplains. The taking of orthophotographs and the data obtained from them may be important in determining the conditions after the floods have subsided and in detecting sediment deposition. My aim is to examine to what extent orthophotographs can be used to determine embankment heights in case of flooding, in order to avoid water overtopping of protective embankments.
Az elsötétítés biztonsági aspektusai Magyarországon
Authors: Jasztrab Péter János
Published: October 2024

Minden korszaknak megvannak a saját kihívásai, és az élet változása a különböző korok társadalmaitól számos új megoldást és alkalmazkodást igényel. Az együttélés és a közösségi lét szabályozása ma is a központi irányításra hárul, de ez mindig is így volt. Egy krízis eszkalációja és politikai tényezővé válása, mint 21. század világjárványa vagy a 20. század világháborúi egyaránt döntések elé állította az egyént és a társadalmat. A biztonság és a közösségi lét összeegyeztetése érdekes és egyben kihívásokkal teli kérdés, még ilyen távlatból nézve is. A cikksorozatban áttekintem a második világháborúban használt elsötétítési módokat, és elemezem a hozott intézkedéseket, megoldásokat, amivel közelebb kívánom vinni az olvasót a korszak problémáihoz és az egyének által alkotott műszaki és társadalmi adminisztratív megoldásokhoz, azaz ahhoz a világhoz és hétköznapi élethez, ami megmutatja, miként alkalmazkodott a világítás, illetve annak használati körülményei a biztonság és légoltalom egymással szögesen ellentétes elvárásai megfelelésének érdekében. Teszem mindezt azzal a céllal, hogy kiegészítsem az eddig a témában született műveket, valamint pótoljam a magyar nyelvű szakirodalom hiányát, illetve egyúttal felkeltsem a szakemberek és a nagyközönség érdeklődését a téma iránt.

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common musculoskeletal disease among elderly individuals. It affects the ability to sit on a chair, stand, walk, and climb stairs. Our objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of tens and strengthening exercises on functional ability in patients with OA of knee joints. We present a case of a 55-year-old female housewife with bilateral knee pain, which manifested suddenly as a dull ache exacerbated by walking and stair climbing and alleviated by rest. Clinical examination revealed crepitus, grade 1 tenderness, and reduced range of motion (ROM) in the left knee. The radiographic evaluation confirmed grade 3 osteoarthritis according to the Kellgren and Lawrence grading system, indicating moderate multiple osteophytes, definite joint space narrowing, some sclerosis, and potential bone deformity. The patient underwent a 4-week intervention comprising strengthening exercises and TENS. Pain intensity was assessed using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), knee ROM with a goniometer, and functional limitations with the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). Assessments were conducted weekly throughout the intervention. The findings suggest that the combined application of TENS and strengthening exercises effectively alleviates pain and improves functional ability in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Deep Learning Approach for Fetal Health Prediction
Authors: Dr. S. Regina Lourdhu Suganthi  , Maria Basilica
Published: October 2024

Monitoring the foetus's health is crucial during pregnancy to avoid complications that may worsen the course of pregnancy and delivery. Cardiotocography (CTG) is a tool that provides complex information by monitoring the foetus's heart rate signal. Obstetricians visually interpret these signals to predict potential risks and draw clinical inferences. The interpretation, however, relies on the expertise of the obstetrician, leading to a significant false positive rate. Thus, the study uses deep learning techniques to effectively identify foetal health states as 'Normal', 'Suspect' and 'Pathological'. The dataset used is CTG data drawn from the Kaggle repository. The optimal subset of features is obtained by comparing traditional feature selection and meta-heuristic-based feature selection techniques. Deep learning algorithms, namely, Convolution Neural Networks, Artificial Neural Networks, and Radial Basis Function Networks, are applied to train multi-class classification models that predict foetal health status. The models are then evaluated using performance metrics.
Anomaly Detection in ERP Systems Using AI and Machine Learning
Authors: Kumar Naveen
Published: October 2024

ERP systems are critical in the administration of corporate activities and address huge volumes of transactional and operation information. However, since ERP systems combine many operations of an organization into one system it is prone to a possibility of developing an anomaly that can come from an erroneous data input or even instances of hacking hence causing operational insecurity and loss. This work seeks to understand how AI (Artificial Intelligence) and Machine Leaning (ML) can be used to determine abnormalities in ERP systems. Conventional methods of anomaly detection do not allow for detailed recognition and handling of complex patterns; thus, AI and ML are suitable for dynamic systems. The paper discusses different forms of anomalous situations in ERP systems and examines the potential of different learning techniques in increasing the effectiveness of anomaly identification. The framework that is presented provides for the incorporation of ML relied anomaly recognition in ERP systems to optimize operational efficiency as well as error identification in real time.

Impact of Economic Crises on Banking Sector Performance- A Comparative Analysis of Conventional and Islamic Banks Across OIC Countries
Authors: Muhsyaf Saipul Arni
Published: October 2024

This study investigates the impact of three significant economic crises—the Eurozone Debt Crisis (2010-2012), the COVID-19 Pandemic (2020-2021), and the Post-Pandemic Economic Recovery (2021-2022)—on the performance of conventional and Islamic banks in Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) countries. Using a dataset of 4,381 observations from 34 OIC countries, panel regression techniques are employed to evaluate the influence of these crises on key financial performance metrics: Return on Shareholders' Funds (ROSF), Profit Margin (PM), Return on Total Assets (ROA), Current Ratio (CR), and Solvency Ratio (SR). The analysis reveals that while the Eurozone Debt Crisis did not significantly affect bank performance, the COVID-19 pandemic led to a notable decline in profitability but an improvement in liquidity.
The results highlight that during the COVID-19 pandemic, banks faced substantial challenges in maintaining profitability, as evidenced by the significant decrease in PM. However, the improvement in CR suggests that banks enhanced their liquidity management strategies to cope with the crisis. The Post-Pandemic Economic Recovery phase brought positive changes in both profitability and liquidity, demonstrating the ability of banks to adapt and thrive as economic conditions stabilized. Macroeconomic variables, such as GDP growth and inflation, played crucial roles, with GDP growth positively affecting ROSF and inflation negatively impacting PM.
These findings underscore the importance of a diversified banking system, including both conventional and Islamic banks, to enhance financial stability. Policymakers and financial regulators should consider the unique strengths of Islamic banking principles in regulatory frameworks and prioritize sound macroeconomic policies to promote stability and resilience in the banking sector. Future research should further explore the long-term impacts of economic crises on bank performance across different regions and banking models, as well as the interaction between regulatory environments and bank resilience.
Keywords: Economic crises, bank performance, conventional banks, Islamic banks, OIC countries, COVID-19 pandemic, Eurozone Debt Crisis, post-pandemic recovery, financial stability, macroeconomic factors.

El Mito de la Salud Mental: Una Aproximación a la Naturaleza Pseudocientífica del Concepto
Authors:   Universidad Ean, Bautista Castro Luis René
Published: October 2024

La expresión "salud mental" se utiliza ampliamente en áreas tales como psicología, trabajo social y salud pública, entre otras. Sin embargo, sus supuestos teóricos y su conceptualización están lejos de ser suficientemente claros. Por lo tanto, el presente escrito pretende ofrecer una evaluación crítica del concepto de "salud mental" y valorar sus posibles limitaciones como constructo científico. Para lograr dicho objetivo se realiza una propuesta sobre criterios de demarcación, así como un análisis de la definición oficial del concepto de "salud mental". Se identifican varias limitaciones potenciales: (1) el concepto de salud mental no permite un objeto analítico viable para la práctica científica, (2) se presta para la confusión con objetos analíticos multi o interdisciplinares, (3) implica el desconocimiento del conocimiento científico en psicología, y (4) la narrativa general deriva en importantes problemas prácticos o de intervención sobre los problemas que se pretenden resolver. Se concluye así que los ejercicios actuales en torno a la "salud mental" constituyen prácticas pseudocientíficas en diversos sentidos y se aboga por un enfoque más riguroso, segmentado de manera diferente, que sea afín con una lógica genuinamente científica.
Las Preferencias de Otros Individuos Sobre el Modo de Interacción en una Contingencia de Riesgo
Authors:   Fundación Universitaria Konrad Lorenz, Merchán Heidy Lorena , Rangel Nora Edith ,   Universidad de Guadalajara, Torres Carlos de Jesús ,   Universidad de Guadalajara
Published: October 2024

Al enfrentar situaciones sin criterios de ejecución explícitos, los individuos exhiben tendencias de respuesta singulares y consistentes en el tiempo. Se ha postulado que dichos patrones se alteran cuando se incorporan criterios de ejecución o participan otros individuos en la situación. En este estudio se evaluó si la exposición a preferencias de otros individuos afectaba la manera en que, de manera individual, los participantes enfrentaban una situación de riesgo. Utilizando una tarea de apuestas de caballos, se presentaron simultáneamente a ocho participantes dos alternativas para responder: una arriesgada y otra conservadora en términos de la probabilidad y la magnitud de las ganancias en cada alternativa. En las primeras dos fases, los participantes se enfrentaron individualmente a la tarea de apuestas sin criterios de ejecución explícitos. En las fases 3 y 4, los participantes se enfrentaron a la misma tarea, pero ahora tenían la posibilidad de consultar las preferencias de sus compañeros de grupo respondiendo en el componente conservador (Grupo 1) o en el arriesgado (Grupo 2). Durante las fases 1 y 3, los participantes se expusieron a gradientes de probabilidad ascendentes y durante las fases 2 y 4 a descendentes. Se identificaron diferencias individuales en la condición en la que no se explicitaron criterios y, ante la consulta de las preferencias de otros, la mayoría de los participantes se ajustaron a dichas preferencias. Se discute y concluye en relación con la modulación del modo de interacción en la contingencia de riesgo y las implicaciones de establecer criterios en la situación.

Developing a comprehensive understanding of elder abuse prevention in immigrant communities: a comparative mixed methods study protocol
Authors: Guruge Sepali , Sidani Souraya , Matsuoka Atsuko , Man Guida , Pirner Diane
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Older adults are the fastest growing age group in Canada. Elder abuse has significant individual and societal implications, so it is critical to address. While interest in this topic is increasing, little is known about the risk factors for elder abuse in immigrant communities in Canada, or about culturally relevant strategies to address these risk factors.

Methods and analysis: This mixed-methods study is guided by the intersectionality and ecological frameworks. We will include two long-term (ie, established) and two recent immigrant communities from East Asian and South Asian communities in the Greater Toronto Area: Chinese, Korean, Punjabi and Tamil. Through structured group interviews, we will first identify factors that contribute to elder abuse within and across each of the immigrant communities and then explore culturally relevant strategies to address those risk factors. Group interviews will be conducted separately with five stakeholder groups in each of the four languages: older women, older men, family members, community leaders and service providers. Quantitative and qualitative data will be analysed at the level of the particular interview groups, subgroups and communities, and will be integrated across communities to identify common and unique risk factors and strategies to address elder abuse.

Ethics and dissemination: The study protocol has received ethics approval from the two universities associated with the research team. Given the comprehensive approach to incorporate local knowledge and expert contributions from multi-level stakeholders, the empirical and theoretical findings will facilitate practice change and improve the well-being of older men and women in immigrant communities.

Authors: Hartono Ruth Anindya Ratih Dewi , Sutiyoso Yos , Hutajulu Sahat
Published: October 2024

The primary objective of this study is to propose a marketing strategy to address the decrease in revenue experienced by Burger King Indonesia in the year 2022 following the COVID-19 pandemic as practical guidance for Burger King Indonesia and other businessmen to navigate the complexities of the current market landscape. This study is still necessary to understand that shifting consumer behavior, changes in market conditions, and business operational disruptions are the causes of the problem. The research design uses a thematic analysis method involving the available company data, relevant marketing theories, and the results of questionnaires, community surveys, and interviews with managers and customers. By analyzing the effects of the pandemic faced by Burger King Indonesia, this research aims to pinpoint strategic areas for improvement. Diverse analyses are used, such as VRIO Framework, STP, Marketing Mix, PESTEL, PORTER's Five Forces, Competitor analysis, SWOT, TOWS analysis, and author’s interview and questionnaire surveys to determine the present circumstances of Burger King Indonesia. The proposed marketing strategy highlights the importance of five specific actions in their implementation: product innovation, digital transformation, sustainability campaign, promotion via mobile app, and partnership and collaborations with delivery services to adapt to evolving consumer preferences. To address this goal, Burger King Indonesia must make strategic adjustments parallel to the present circumstances by understanding consumer preferences, optimizing operations, promoting sustainability initiatives, and strengthening its brand position. Through the implementation of this comprehensive strategy, Burger King Indonesia aims to improve customer satisfaction, foster loyalty, and attain overall market success in the post pandemic period. This strategy not only addresses the immediate challenges posed by the pandemic but also positions Burger King Indonesia for long-term success.

Nombrar la alteridad y la identidad. Un análisis de las denominaciones “negro" y "afro” en tres contextos discursivos en México
Authors: Castillo Figueroa Giovanny
Published: October 2024

Este artículo explora algunos usos y significados de los términos “negro” y “afro” en México, bajo la premisa de que las categorías con las cuales se nombra la alteridad y la identidad no son unívocas y sus sentidos varían de acuerdo con los contextos de enunciación, por lo que es importante considerar quiénes, cuándo, dónde y con qué fines las expresan. Se examinan tres ámbitos concretos: la antropología afromexicanista, el activismo engendrado en la región Costa Chica de Guerrero y Oaxaca, y la cotidianidad de un pueblo negro-afrodescendiente del litoral guerrerense. El ejercicio analítico permite identificar las significaciones múltiples, cambiantes y contrapuestas de ambas denominaciones, mismas que fluctúan entre acepciones racializantes y reivindicatorias de la otredad y la mismidad.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited is a Taiwanese multinational semiconductor contract manufacturing and design company. People can buy Stocks from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited. Stocks are one of the attractive investment instruments for companies and individuals. There are some theories and analyses to predict stock prices to help investors make wiser decisions when buying and selling stock portfolios. In this study, researchers will use ARIMA(p,d,q) technical analysis to predict the stock price of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited for the next 5 months from January 1, 2005 to May 1, 2005. For this forecasting, researchers used Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited historical stock price data from January 1, 1998 to December 31, 2004 that was obtained from the Yahoo Finance website. Based on the test results of 8 ARIMA models, the best model that researchers got is model 2 ARIMA (2,1,1) with the equation Yt = 0.0759Yt-1 + 0.2706Yt-2 + et - 0.198et-1. This model is considered to be the best because it has the smallest MSE Value, which is 0.1076018; the smallest RMSE value, which is 0.0301156; the smallest MAE value, which is 0,2495926; and the smallest MAPE value, which is 3.0116%. This study shows that the stock price is predicted to rise for the next 5 months from January 1, 2005 to May 1, 2005.

Authors: Gunawan Steffany Indra , Sudding Fauziah Nur Fahirah
Published: October 2024

Nowadays, stock investment has been increasingly growing in society. In investing activities, there are risks that may be experienced by investors. However, sometimes many investors do not realize how much risk that they might suffer in the future. One way that can be done to measure this risk is to calculate the Value at Risk (VaR). This study aims to calculate the VaR value of digital bank stock portfolio in Indonesia. The calculation of VaR will be done using two methods, include the Historical Simulation and Monte Carlo Simulation method. From the calculation, VaR with Historical Simulation and Monte Carlo sequentially generate results of IDR 6,006,718 and IDR 10,797,904 for 99% confidence level, IDR 4,135,857 and IDR 5,376,949 for 95% confidence level, and IDR 3,219,885 and IDR 3,417,553 for 90% confidence level. Based on the results, it is found that VaR result is directly proportional to the confidence level used. Through the calculation results, it also found that VaR value with the Monte Carlo Simulation method are greater than those with the Historical Simulation method.
Modeling bitcoin price by using Euler-Maruyama method

Published: October 2024

In this study, we use Euler-Maruyama method to simulate Bitcoin prices dynamics. We investigate a year-long movement of Bitcoin prices. Daily closing prices were collected over a period starting from May 27th, 2023 and ending on May 27th, 2024. This data provides a comprehensive picture of how Bitcoin behaved on a daily basis throughout that specific year. The Euler-Maruyama method is used as numerical method for solving stochastic differential equations (SDEs). The method involves discretizing the SDE into an iterative process  to obtain a simulated price trajectory. The drift term was estimated by the average daily return of Bitcoin prices over the study period. The volatility term was estimated by the standard deviation of daily Bitcoin returns. A Monte Carlo simulation was performed to generate a range of possible price trajectories using the Euler-Maruyama method. The result shows that the Euler-Maruyama method was able to capture the short-term trend of Bitcoin prices effectively. However, the method can also be used to capture the long-term trend of Bitcoin prices.

Published: October 2024

Mortality is the state where all signs of life permanently, which can occur at any time after a person is born. Mortality data can be presented in the form of table called a mortality table, which is a table that provides an overview of the life of a population group starting from births at the same time and life of a population group that starts from birth at the same time and slowly decreases due to death. In actuarial studies, this table has a role as one of the important factors to determine the amount of premium costs and premium reserves, especially life insurance. Therefore, it is necessary for continuity in conducting research related to mortality tables. This research aims to forecast the death rate and the probability of death of the population in the future using the Lee-Carter model, which is a mortality forecasting model that combines a demographic model with a time series model. This mortality model shows that the logarithm of mortality rate is the sum of the parameters of the average general mortality rate by age and the multiplication of the trend parameter of mortality rate changes by age with the mortality index parameter. Forecasting process begins with estimating the parameters of the average mortality rate and the trend of mortality rate changes influenced by the mortality index parameter using the singular value decomposition (SVD) method. After that, the mortality index mortality index is forecasted using the ARIMA model and the results of this forecast are then reinserted into the Lee-Carter model to obtain death rate prediction. Based on the results of the mortality rate prediction, it can then be the prediction of the probability of death for the mortality table. The result of this research is a mortality table that contains predictions of the probability of death of the Indonesian population for both male and female gender using the Lee-Carter model from the year 2022 2026. Based on these results, it is concluded that the value of the probability of death for each year increases with increasing age.

Trust in Iran and Türkiye: A Comparative Study of Interpersonal, Institutional, and Social Trust
Authors: Saleh Deena
Published: October 2024

Human beings are social creatures in their nature, as Aristotle stated 2400 years ago. Society needs trust for economic and social development as it shapes interactions and relations among individuals and groups. Opinion surveys offer global comparisons of trust levels and show heterogeneity. For example, in countries such as Sweden and Norway, more than 60% of respondents reported that 'most people can be trusted.' On the other hand, in countries such as Türkiye, Iran, and other Middle East countries, less than 15% think this is the case. This study offers an overview of trust in Iran and Türkiye. It examines types of trust utilizing the World Values Survey data. Citizens in Iran and Türkiye have the highest trust in close groups such as their families. On the other hand, trust in outgroups such as people from another nationality or different religions could be higher to moderate. Moreover, the Iranian and Turkish public consider institutions such as the armed forces more trustworthy, whereas international institutions such as the IMF and WHO are less trusted.

Araştırmanın amacı üniversite öğrencilerinin dijital okumaya yönelik tutumlarını belirlemektir. Üniversite öğrencilerinin dijital okumaya yönelik tutumlarını incelemeyi amaçlayan bu çalışmada betimsel nitelikli tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırma evrenini 2023-2024 eğitim-öğretim yılında Kırgızistan Türkiye Manas Üniversitesinde öğrenim gören öğrenciler oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma grubunu Kırgızistan Türkiye Manas Üniversitesinde eğitim gören 209 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Üniversite öğrencilerinin dijital okumaya yönelik tutumlarını belirlemek için Yurdakal ve Kırmızı (2021) tarafından geliştirilen "Öğretmen Adayları İçin Dijital Okumaya Yönelik Tutum" ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda elde edilen bulgular şunlardır; üniversite öğrencilerinin dijital okumaya yönelik tutumu okuma aracı tercihine göre anlamlı düzeyde dijital cihazdan okuma yapmayı tercih edenlerin lehine bulunmuştur. Dijital okumayı tercih etme ile günlük dijital okuma yapma süresine göre karşılaştırıldığında en yüksek tutuma günde 3,01-5 saat aralığında dijital okuma yapanların lehine çıkmıştır. Günlük basılı kaynaktan okuma süreleri karşılaştırıldığında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık görülmektedir, bu anlamlılık 0-1,29 saat arası ve 1,30-3 saat arası kağıttan okuma yapan öğrenciler lehinedir. Katılımcıların cinsiyet, fakülte ve sınıf düzeyine göre dijital okumaya yönelik tutumlarında anlamlı bir farklılık saptanmamıştır. Ancak dijital okumaya yönelik tutumların her üç cinsiyet, fakülte ve sınıf düzeylerinde erkek öğrencilerin aleyhine olduğu görülmüştür.

Published: October 2024

The purpose of this study is to elucidate the role of the works of Chyngyz Aitmatov, a prominent figure in the Turkic world and a writer-statesman, in intercultural communication. Despite numerous studies on Aitmatov's works in literature and folklore, there is a significant gap in the literature regarding the role his works play in intercultural communication. In this context, Aitmatov's works will be examined in the framework of their reflection on the Turkic world, the manner in which they portray it, and the legacy they leave to the present day. The translations of Aitmatov's works are shown to effectively establish cultural bridges, particularly in introducing Turkic world culture and promoting cultural exchange on the global stage. The study aims to illustrate through quotes and examples from his works, the way these translations contribute to cultural diplomacy by fostering mutual understanding, justice, equality, dialogue, and human rights. By establishing connections between the disciplines of International Relations and Literature this study demonstrates that Aitmatov has a much broader impact worldwide than commonly assumed. The research positions his literary works as a significant element of soft power within the framework of public diplomacy. The study will be conducted by taking into account the importance of Aitmatov's works as a crucial element in public diplomacy within the broader scope of cultural diplomacy.
