Relevance The power outage in remote and inaccessible areas of the Far North can have serious consequences, including technological and ecological disasters, fires, explosions, water pollution, impact on human health, and economic losses. To ensure power supply in harsh climate areas, various autonomous power sources are being considered, including a hydrokinetic turbine installed inside the pipeline, which converts the kinetic energy of the flow into electricity using an electromechanical generator. Object of study The research focuses on the efficient power supply of oil and gas pipeline consumers in remote and inaccessible areas of the Far North. A small-scale hydraulic power station is installed on the bypass line of the oil pipeline. Aim of research The main aim of the study is to assess the feasibility of using a hydrokinetic turbine inside the pipeline for efficient power supply to linear consumers of oil and gas pipelines in remote areas. Research methods During the research, an analysis of the field of existing small-scale power plants was carried out to determine the most promising and efficient approaches to electricity generation. Additionally, a theoretical solution in the form of a hydrokinetic turbine for electricity generation was proposed. Results The results and significance of the research propose the hydrokinetic turbine installed inside the pipeline as an autonomous power source for efficient power supply to consumers. A hybrid power station model is suggested, combining the hydrokinetic turbine with other energy sources to ensure uninterrupted power supply in remote areas. The obtained results have practical significance for the energy provision of oil and gas pipelines in remote and inaccessible areas of the Far North. A new approach to power supply is proposed, which, upon implementation of the developed equipment, can ensure uninterrupted operation of the energy module of the technological equipment installed on the pipelines and help prevent technological disasters and economic losses.
The Legal Nature of the Reprimand Announced by the President of the Russian Federation to the Highest Oﬃcial of a Subject of the Russian Federation
Authors: Surkova Irina
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the legal nature of the reprimand announced by the President of the Russian Federation to the highest official of the subject of the Russian Federation. It is noted that despite the external similarity of the measure of state-legal coercion under consideration with a reprimand as a measure of disciplinary responsibility, regulated by the norms of labor and service law, a reprimand declared to the highest official of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation cannot be attributed to measures of legal responsibility. Based on the criteria used in the legal literature to distinguish between forms of state-legal coercion, signs of a reprimand declared to the highest official of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation are distinguished, which, in the author›s opinion, make it possible to determine its legal nature as a measure of state-legal coercion. These signs are proposed to include the following: 1) it is an officially expressed negative assessment of the implementation by the Head of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation of state power belonging to him, expressed in an order to properly fulfill his official duties by the Head of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation within the prescribed period; 2) the basis for its application is both an offense committed by the Head of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation in the exercise of his powers, and the inefficiency of his activities; 4) its application is not associated with any restrictions on the status of the Head of the subject of the Russian Federation or the imposition of additional duties on him; 5) in case of failure to achieve the purpose of the reprimand, it can be replaced by a more stringent measure of state-legal coercion. It is concluded that, based on the grounds, target orientation and legal consequences of the application of this measure, a reprimand declared to the highest official of a subject of the Russian Federation is a measure of constitutional and legal coercion in the form of a warning.

Authors: BAKIR Gizem
Published: December 2023

For heat extraction in nuclear systems, interest in the design of nuclear reactors with heat pipes has increased. The determination of heat limitations is one of the remarkable factors for safety when heat pipes are used for nuclear systems. In this study, capillary and entrainment limit values for the heat pipe were calculated in a heat pipe reactor with potassium working fluid operating at 650 K. Five different effective porous radii (10.1x10-6, 10.225x10-6, 10.35x10-6, 10.425x10-6 and 10.6x10-6 m) and five different wick permeability (4.75x10-12, 5x10-12, 5.25x10-11, 5.5x10-12 and 5.75x10-12 m2) is considered for sintered copper wick heat pipe. While the effects of effective porosity radius, wick permeability, and wick radius on the capillary barrier were studied, only the effects of effective porosity radius were studied. While the effects of effective porosity radius, wick permeability, and wick radius on the capillary barrier are studied, only the effects of effective porosity radius are studied. The highest values of the capillary and entrainment limits are obtained when the porosity radius is 10.1x10-6 m. Besides, maximum capillary limits are achieved when the wick permeability is 5.75x10-12 m2 and the effective porosity radius is 10.1x10-6. This study aims to determine the optimum effective porous radius and wick permeability for this reactor and investigate the effect of effective porous radius and wick permeability on the heat pipe limitations.

Published: December 2023

The primary focus of this study was the Dağpazarı village in the Mut region of Mersin, southern Turkey. In this research area, two stratigraphic sections were meticulously measured. The study conducted a comprehensive examination of the Middle-Late Miocene period in the Dağpazarı, Ballı, and Mut Formations by analyzing the ostracod fauna and utilizing strontium isotope chemostratigraphic dating. This research determined that the upper levels of the Mut/Köselerli formations, specifically from the Burdigalian to Serravallian, signify the commencement of the Miocene succession in the study area.The Dağpazarı Formation, characterized by abundant silty-clay, Ostrea fossils, and lignite layers, is deposited unconformably just above these levels.This formation contains the following ostracod taxa; Bairdia subdeltoidea, C. glypta, Cytheridea acuminata acuminata, Acanthocythereis hystrix, Krithe monosteracensis, Neomonoceratina mouliana, Hemicyprideis sp., Cistacythereis caelatura, Cyherella terguemi, T. prava, K. langhiana, A. ulicznyi, Pokornyella deformis minor, Loxoconcha alata, Tenedocythere salebrosa. Furthermore, the planktonic foraminifera species are; O. universa, Globigerinoides trilobus, Glb. ruber, Orbulina bilobata, Glb. sacculifer, O. suturalis, and the formation includes abundant bryozoa, echinoid spines, gastropods such as Terebralia at distinct levels, and fish otolith. The formation, dating from the late Serravallian to the early Tortonian, exhibits the shallow reef characteristics that continued to develop in the late Miocene.The formation consists of dark green, bulbous weathered claystone, Bairdia subdeltoidea and Ostrea which are reduced in size at the levels that pass into hard clayey sandstone, abundant benthic foraminifera with abundant echinoid spines. The formation consists of benthic foraminifera, hard clayey sandstone, and weathered dark green claystone, which contains numerous echinoid spines.Ostrea and Bairdia subdeltoidea are also present. The upper section of the analyzed succession concludes with silty, compact, clayey limestone layers and light-colored limestone bands. The Tırtar Ballı Formation, which conformably overlays the Dağpazarı Formation, signifies the culmination of a relatively recent reef formation during the Tortonian period.Ostracod species such as Aurila pigadiana, Thalmannia hodgii, Buntonia sublatissima dertonensis, Bairdia subdeltoidea, Aurila sp. Bassiouni have been defined. The limestones also contain abundant benthic foraminifera and echinoid spines. The 87Sr/86Sr ratio analyzed from the carbonate sample obtained from the Dağpazarı formation is 0.708920. Based on these isotope data, the age of the Dağpazarı formation was calculated to be 8.7 million years (Ma).

Authors: ŞENOL ARSLAN Dilek , HACIFAZLIOĞLU Hasan
Published: December 2023

This study explores the potential use of waste cooking sunflower oil (WSO) as an eco-friendly collector for coal slime flotation. WSO and coal slime are both wastes and are hazardous to human health and the environment, if not disposed of properly. In this study, co-disposal of the two wastes was investigated; a gas oil (petroleum derived oil) and crude sunflower oil (CSO) were used for collector efficiency comparisons. This study also presents a green, low-cost and environmentally friendly alternative. Kinetic flotation tests were carried out to study the flotation selectivity, flammability and combustible recovery. Contact angle measurements were performed with 3 different oils (CSO, WSO and gas oil) by sessile drop technique to determine the hydrophobicity and surface properties of coal. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was utilized to analyze the chemical composition of both waste oil and coal samples.

Keywords: Sunflower oil, waste cooking oil, gas oil, coal slime, flotation

Frequentist, Bayesian Analysis and Complementary Statistical Tools for Geriatric and Rehabilitation Fields: Are Traditional Null-hypothesis Significance Testing Methods Sufficient? v1
Authors: da Cunha Nascimento Dahan
Published: December 2023

Null hypothesis significant testing (NHST) is the dominant statistical approach in the geriatric and rehabilitation fields. However, NHST is routinely misunderstood or misused. In this case, the findings from clinical trials would be taken as evidence of no effect, when in fact, a clinically relevant question may have a "non-significant" p-value. Conversely, findings are considered clinically relevant when a significant difference is observed between groups. To assume that p-value is not an exclusive indicator of an association or the existence of an effect, researchers should be encouraged to report other statistical analysis approaches as Bayesian analysis and complementary statistical tools alongside the p-value (e.g., effect size, confidence intervals, minimal clinically important difference, and magnitude-based inference) to improve interpretation of the findings of clinical trials by presenting a more efficient and comprehensive analysis. However, the focus on Bayesian analysis and secondary statistical analyses does not mean that NHST is less important. Only that, to observe a real intervention effect, researchers should use a combination of secondary statistical analyses in conjunction with NHST or Bayesian statistical analysis to reveal what p-values cannot show. This paper provides potential insights for improving scientific data interpretation in rehabilitation and geriatric fields by utilizing Bayesian and secondary statistical analyses to better scrutinize results of clinical trials where a p-value alone may not be appropriate to determine efficacy of an intervention.

Ontología, historia y epistemología en la teoría de los ensamblajes
Authors: Villalobos Manjarrez Alberto
Published: December 2023

Dentro del marco de la teoría de los ensamblajes formulada por Manuel De Landa, en este artículo se desarrollan los siguientes puntos: el esclarecimiento del concepto de ensamblaje, la explicación de su carácter histórico y la problematización de esta teoría a partir de su relación con la epistemología, la ética y la ontología. En la conclusión, se clarifica el concepto de materia presupuesto en esta filosofía. Además, se muestra brevemente cómo esta ontología plana se vincula con la filosofía política y, de nuevo, con la epistemología. Problematizar la teoría de los ensamblajes, cuya fuente filosófica se encuentra en la obra de Gilles Deleuze y Félix Guattari, permite reconocer los alcances de una ontología que postula la existencia de un mundo compuesto de multiplicidades históricas y heterogéneas.

Authors:   People&Global Business Association, j j , j j
Published: December 2023

Purpose: This research aimed to explore and understand the intricacies of mobile payments within the Indonesian context, particularly focusing on the dynamic relationship between perceived privacy risks, trust, and the intention to adopt mobile payment services.
Design/methodology/approach: The study employed a hybrid research methodology, integrating qualitative and quantitative analyses. Specifically, this research utilized Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) model that evaluated the alignment of the proposed model with the observed data. The mobile payment privacy policies were analyzed through the identification of key textual features.
Findings: The study revealed a revealed positive relationship between certain perceived risks (psychological and financial) and trust, suggesting that certain perceived risks might inadvertently foster trust. Conversely, time risk and performance risk negatively influence trust. This research also emphasized the pivotal role of trust in shaping user intentions toward mobile payments. Further findings highlighted the complex nature of privacy risks in the context of mobile payments and the significant surge in adoption rates during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Research limitations/implications: This research was bound by a limited dataset size, which could influence the derived results. Potential inaccuracies from incomplete questionnaires might introduce non-statistical errors. With the ever-evolving nature of mobile payments, future studies could benefit from refining the research framework and incorporating additional variables.
Originality/value: This study uniquely delves into the mobile payment scenario in Indonesia, challenging traditional views of risk and trust and offering fresh perspectives on consumer behavior. The innovative approach to analyzing mobile payment privacy policies and the spotlight on the role of perceived risks and trust in adoption intention set it apart. Its findings serve as a blueprint for both academics and practitioners in the mobile payment domain.
Productivity Effect of Efficiency Wages at Small and Medium-Sized Manufacturing Enterprises: the Case of Vietnam
Authors:   People&Global Business Association, j j
Published: December 2023

Purpose: This paper aims to investigate whether efficiency wages for production workers have a positive effect on labor productivity in Vietnam's manufacturing SMEs.
Design/methodology/approach: The research analyzes the panel data of manufacturing SMEs collected by UNU-Wider in Vietnam in 2011, 2013, and 2015.
Findings: The panel-data analysis results for 6,953 observations show that efficiency wages increase labor productivity.
Research limitations/implications: The scope of this study is limited to Vietnam's manufacturing SMEs. Future studies should include replicating the research model in the service sectors and other countries.
Originality/value: Previous studies on Vietnamese manufacturing SMEs did not disclose the impact of efficiency wages on firm-level labor productivity using the SME panel datasetVietnam's. The novelty of this study is the introduction of the efficiency wages as an explanatory variable forto labor productivity. The study results shed light on organizational behavior in rational salary decisions. Many of SMEs have decided to pay lower than the average sector wage. NeverthelsessStill, the regression analysis indicates that salary growth improves per-worker productivity. This discovery allows researchers to investigate why SMEs have decided not to raise worker wages significantly while wage increases helps boost labor productivity. As a practical contribution, the study result recommends that for higher labor productivity at lower labor costs, manufacturing SMEs can raise their workers' salaries based on the average sector wage instead of benchmarking them with the average nation-level wages.

Authors:   People&Global Business Association, j j , j j , j j , j j
Published: December 2023

Purpose: Workloads have substantial impacts on the working woman's identity. The banking sector also exhibits this trend with long working hours, commuting, and potential job stress. This study investigates the possible relationships between work-family conflict, social support toward work-life balance, and job stress from Indonesian female bankers.
Design/methodology/approach: This study obtains data from 197 female workers in the banking sector in I ndonesia and constructs a hypothesized path model by maximizing the covariance-based structural-equation modelling with the Lisrel 10.2 software.
Findings: This study reports dynamic results as work-family conflict does not contribute to work-life balance but toward job stress. Furthermore, social support is foundational for the work-life balance but not toward stress. The partial mediating effect is also reported.
Research limitations/implications: This study's predictive power can get further upgrades from a wider participant across the industry. The comparison between genders can clarify this issue's advantages and disadvantages. The social peers' positive support may remedy the work-life balance issue; thus, firms must recognize this problem at their managerial discretion.
Originality/value: This study extends the neglected conjoint effects of work-family conflict and social support to work-life balance, decreasing job stress among working women. The novel finding suggests the absence of conflict in the family-office relationships, indicating that work-life balance requires an update on the office-level policy.

Authors:   People&Global Business Association, j j
Published: December 2023

Purpose: This empirical study investigates the relationship between e-government and inward foreign direct investment(FDI) in East and Southeast Asia. E-government or electronic government refers to the applications of information and telecommunication technologies to provide public services and information to the citizens. In theory, e-government initiatives may positively influence FDI.
Design/methodology/approach: A panel of twelve countries in the region, covering a period between 2003 and 2020, is employed for empirical analysis. Static panel regression methods are applied to estimate the effect of e-government on foreign direct investment of the host countries.
Findings: E-government is found to have a positive and statistically significant impact on FDI inflows. This result is robust to heteroskedasticity, autocorrelation, and cross-sectional dependence, and remains consistent under different specifications.
Research limitations/implications: E-government initiative is an important and viable channel to attract foreign direct investment to the host countries in the region. Regarding this objective, the countries may concentrate on improving telecommunication infrastructure and online services.
Originality/value: This paper is the first empirical attempt to explore the relationship between e-government and foreign direct investment in East and Southeast Asia. It also contributes significantly to the limited empirical studies in the existing literature..
La búsqueda del percusionista ecológico y la necesidad de abrir nuevas ramas laborables para crear conciencia social.
Authors: Palao Pérez Rocío
Published: December 2023

El ser humano se ha ayudado de la naturaleza desde tiempos inmemoriales, por ejemplo haciendo ruido con  huesos y palos para ahuyentar a los animales. Esto nos deriva al origen de la percusión. Actualmente, dentro de los sistemas educativos de música , existe una falta de conciencia en el alumnado de que realmente esta haciendo sonar elementos extraídos de la naturaleza.

El cambio climático, junto a macrogranjas, contaminación, sobreexplotación de recursos naturales, etc.. están creando una problemática dentro de la sociedad, la cual se encuentra en un estado de conciencia dormida, donde no es capaz de asumir que la Tierra está pidiendo auxilio.

Por ende, los artistas  tienen un papel fundamental para despertar esas conciencias, ya sea a través del artivismo, de la música, del teatro, de la danza o de la pintura.

Por tanto, este artículo busca la necesidad de hacer despertar al intérprete percusionista ecológico, dando ejemplos de artistas e instrumental que emplean la naturaleza como tal y elementos de reciclaje para construir sus propios instrumentos.

En este trabajo se muestra a los agaves (género Agave L.) como elementos del paisaje andaluz y giennense. La utilización de la fotografía como metodología interpretativa del estudio del paisaje ha permitido corroborar su asidua presencia en el territorio – apareciendo en las cuatro tipologías de paisaje cultural establecidas por el Plan Nacional de Paisaje Cultural – lo que indicaría una elevada influencia en el imaginario popular y por tanto su pertenencia al acervo cultural giennense. El futuro de este paisaje cultural está actualmente en peligro a consecuencia de las actuaciones que se llevan a cabo en el presente y a la aparición del picudo negro del agave. La conservación de este patrimonio cultural debería establecerse acorde con las tendencias más actuales en la gestión del paisaje, considerando a éste desde una perspectiva integral favoreciendo la creación de una nueva cultura del territorio en la que un paisaje no sea solamente percepción, sino también sentimientos. Para apoyar esta visión se ha establecido un portal de ciencia ciudadana que pretende crear conciencia, en la sociedad y en la administración pública, para potenciar la conservación de este rico patrimonio cultural.
Disinformation, Misinformation and Limits on Freedom of Expression During the Covid-19 Pandemic: A Critical Inquiry
Authors: García Ruiz Leopoldo
Published: December 2023

The recurring controversy over the limits of freedom of expression is today inextricably linked to the phenomenon of disinformation and misinformation on social networks. We thus address this phenomenon in the first place, along with the strategies deployed in the last decade to fight it. The controversy is then analyzed in the context of the recent COVID-19 pandemic and the institutional response it has generated worldwide, with a main focus on the situation in the United States and the EU. Finally, a critical examination of this response follows, along with some facts and reflections regarding the current post-pandemic scenario.

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo situar a criminalização do racismo em relação à sua prática no âmbito judicial no enfrentamento ao racismo no Brasil por meio da produção científica, tendo como base inicial a Lei Carlos Caó (nº 7.716/89). Como procedimento metodológico, optou-se por uma revisão narrativa da literatura com busca de artigos indexados nas bases de dados: BVS, SciELO, MEDLINE e LILACS. Na temática aqui discutida evidenciou que sob o olhar do poder jurídico, inevitavelmente, alguns debates são levantados em torno dos limites de atuação das sanções penais no combate ao racismo, principalmente quando este mecanismo opressivo é apresentado como um sistema estrutural e estruturante das relações sociais, atuante através de atos difusos, sistêmicos, coletivos e inconscientes de discriminações raciais. Embora a Lei Caó tenha uma natureza progressista, a efetividade jurídica opera por meio da criação e da manipulação de estratégias, de modo que aquilo que diz respeito à esfera privada e às subjetividades, seja utilizado para camuflar a estruturação do racismo na esfera pública e nas instituições, mesmo naqueles pontos processuais destinados à proteção dos indivíduos e, por conseguinte, estaria comprometida em função de uma compreensão possivelmente reducionista e restrita das práticas racistas nas sociedades multiculturais, ou seja, nas democracias modernas. Em conclusão, ponderamos que esconder essa subjetividade sob os pressupostos do direito positivo é o que permite que ideias sobre negros e racismo presentes no imaginário social continuem a contribuir para o não-reconhecimento de casos de discriminação racial.

Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) is an intracellular enzyme expressed in brain neurons and insulin-secreting β-cells of the pancreas. Anti-GAD-anitibodies are associated with type 1 diabetes mellitus, limbic encephalitis, cerebellar ataxia, temporal autoimmune epilepsy, and rigid man syndrome. We present a rare clinical case of anti-GAD-anitibodies- associated immune encephalitis in a child with beta-thalassemia after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).A 3-year-old boy diagnosed with beta-thalassemia underwent allo-HSCT from a 9/10 compatible unrelated donor. The macrophage activation syndrome occurred during the early post-transplantation period. The seizure with a focal onset happened on day +65. The cytotoxic edema in the region of the left hippocampus without signs of accumulation of a contrast agent was revealed at the magnetic resonance imaging of the brain. Pleocytosis, increase in protein levels, infection and antibodies to receptors and synaptic proteins of neurons were not detected at the analysis of cerebrospinal fluid. A positive titer to anti-GAD-anitibodies was detected in the blood – 315.82 IU/ml (the norm is up to 10 IU/ml). The child was treated with cyclophosphamide 750 mg/m2, rituximab 375 mg/m2, and tocilizumab 8 mg/kg. The cytotoxic edema in the left hippocampus regressed at the control magnetic resonance imaging on day +117.Infectious, immune and toxic agents can cause the damage of central nervous system in patients after allo-HSCT. The mechanism of immune damage to the central nervous system S in such patients is still being studied and may be different: expansion of autoreactive lymphocytes due to failure of T-cell regulation due to chemo- or immunosuppressive therapy, “passenger lymphocyte” syndrome, violation of T-cell regulation due to the course of infectious complications and acute graft versus host disease.In a series of diagnostic searches in patients with central nervous system lesions after allo-HSCT, it is necessary to include immune damage to the nervous system. Diagnosis of such conditions is a difficult task due to comorbidity and multicomponent accompanying therapy, including immunosuppressive therapy, administered to patients.
A RETROSTECTIVE MODEL OF THE REGIONAL PHENOMENON IN “MEMOIRS OF MY LIFE” BY T. BOBROWSKI
Authors:   The comprehensive school of I-III degrees No36, J. Dąbrowski of Zhytomyr, Bondarchuk Olesya
Published: December 2023

The author examines the author’s model of the world “Memoirs ...”, which has accumulated the artistic system of the Polish nobility, the model of the romantic memoirist and the writer-positivist. The artist’s elaborate artistic construction is an emotional and at the same time intellectual reception of the world with a powerful nostalgic discourse. The artistic model of the memoirist prankster gravitates to the realistic method, to objectivism and typology. The author painstakingly amasses historical information, his own observations and witness stories. The memoirist exaggerates the text with numerous introductory plots, details, reflections of a retro- and prospective nature, which collectively become a kind of material for exposing the author’s “I” against the background of social and historical events. The structure of the artistic space of the romantic memoirist is reflected in the images of ancient Poland and youthful experiences. T. Bobrowski, arranging the work on the slope of life, tried to formulate his memoirs with the utmost impartiality, but the experiences of the author’s period of study, based on sensory perception, leave a significant imprint on the artistic model of the described world, romanticising it and giving an exceptional character. It is noted that the memoirs are filled with nostalgic discourse and manifest themselves in the longing not only for childhood, but also for the noble grandeur that filled the land and space of the Right Bank. The artist, arranging “Memoirs ...” at the end of his life, selects the material in such a way that the work of speech becomes, according to the position of the memoirist, a historical and literary document designed to promote the harmonious development of the future generation of the whole region. Similar positivist attitudes are clearly evident in “Memories .. “, whose style has certain features of court protocol and obvious masking of authorial individualism, and the text is oversaturated with numbers and information of non-contentious content, which collectively reflects the concept of the positivist memoirist.
ABOUT SEVERAL CHURCH SLAVONIC CONTEXTS OF OLD POLISH APOCRYPHA ROZMYŚLANIE PRZEMYSKIE
Authors:   University of Białystok, Karzarnowicz Jarosław
Published: December 2023

The article draws attention to how the old Polish apocrypha Rozmyślanie Przemyskie (Przemyśl Reflection) realizes certain contexts common with Greek apocryphal texts and their Orthodox Slavic translations. Apocryphal works occupy an important place in medieval literature. They express peculiar folk piety, an understanding of the Christian faith and unofficial beliefs about the most important figures. Rozmyślanie Przemyskie (further on in the text – RP) is the most extensive old Polish monument of literature, it has 426 cards and is the most perfect monument of Polish late-medieval prose and a perfect example of the old Polish apocryphal. The article discusses the issues of similarities and differences in content, vocabulary and semantics between the Old Polish manuscript and Orthodox Slavic translations of the mentioned apocryphal gospels.
