Modeling And Simulation of Rain Attenuation Effect on Microwave Propagation
Authors: Didigwu Didigwu
Published: December 2024

Rain attenuation poses a significant challenge to satellite communication networks, resulting in signal degradation, increased path loss, and reduced coverage, particularly in tropical regions and at frequencies above 10 GHz. This study examines average rain-induced attenuation and rainfall data for microwave links operating at 11 GHz, 13 GHz, 14 GHz, 18 GHz, and 23 GHz, with a rainfall rate of 50 mm/h, over a terrestrial link in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. The city's terrain, encompassing urban, suburban, and rural environments, serves as a representative model for broader applications across Nigeria. Situated in the coastal region, Port Harcourt experiences annual rainfall ranging from 2000 mm to 2400 mm. Satellite communication is frequently hindered by persistent rain attenuation, occasionally leading to outages lasting minutes, hours, or even days. Data for this analysis were sourced from the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET), and also the International Telecommunication Union's Radio-wave Propagation (ITU-R P.618-13) model was employed to estimate long-term rain attenuation for these frequency bands. Python and Excel software were used for data analysis and simulation. The results obtained show that higher frequencies experience greater attenuation. As the frequency increases, the rain attenuation also increases significantly. At any given percentage, attenuation increases with frequency. At 0.001%, 23 GHz has the steepest curve due to its higher attenuation value of 57.63 dB. Lower frequencies have relatively flatter curves, representing reduced attenuation. This helps to clearly show the trend at very small percentages of time. Attenuation decreases rapidly as the percentage of time exceeds increases. Also, the analysis revealed significant attenuation from June to September, coinciding with the peak rainfall period in the region. This study underscores the substantial impact of rain fade on signal attenuation at higher frequencies in Port Harcourt. The findings provide critical insights for satellite communication engineers to optimize the planning and design of microwave links in the region throughout the year.
Disagreement on a Bench: An Empirical Analysis of Dissent at the Czech Constitutional Court
Authors: Štěpán Paulík  , Vartazaryan Gor
Published: December 2024

This article examines the factors influencing dissenting opinions by judges at the Czech Constitutional Court (“CCC”). We build on the disagreement-identification model and the strategic accounts of dissenting behavior. Our findings do not support the existence of a strong norm of consensus operating at the CCC. However, the complexity of a case, measured by the number of CCC caselaw citations involved, is positively correlated with the probability of a dissenting opinion. Similarly, cases concerning controversial topics are more likely to generate dissents. A placebo test strengthens this finding by demonstrating that randomly chosen, non-controversial topics have minimal impact on dissenting behavior. The effect of voting blocs in the plenary proceedings seems to carry over to the 3-member chamber proceedings. The results also reveal that judges make strategic considerations. When facing a high workload, judges are less likely to write separate opinions, suggesting they prioritize workload management. Lastly, CCC judges do not seem to take into account collegiality costs.

MSMEs play a progressively important role in Indonesia's economic growth, particularly in the context of sharia economic development. The government and Islamic financial institutions (IFIs) have actively supported the empowerment of MSMEs in order to accomplish the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This research aims to conduct a more in-depth analysis of the level of success achieved by these efforts. This research aims to utilize quantitative methods to identify the factors that influence the decision-making process of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) when accessing Islamic financial services. Additionally, it seeks to measure the impact of these factors on the performance of MSMEs. The research results are expected to offer more efficient policy recommendations to enhance the involvement of IFIs in promoting sustainable growth of MSMEs. Research indicates that sharia finance does not have a significant impact on the sustainable performance of MSMEs. However, it is worth noting that sharia financial literacy does have a significant influence on the sustainable performance of MSMEs. Islamic finance exerts a substantial impact on the sustainable performance of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Moreover, the government's responsibility is to effectively regulate the connection between sharia finance and sharia financial literacy in order to enhance the long-term performance of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs).

Published: December 2024

The study examines the relationship between the dimensions of national culture at the country level, measured by Hofstede's framework, IPSAS adoption, and a country's economic development levels. It uses a quantitative analysis method for a sample of 95 countries over ten years (2014-2023). The analysis using linear correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis of variables reveals a statistically significant relationship between three national cultural factors and the adoption of reporting standards for public sector units at the state level. The national culture factors of power distance, uncertainty avoidance, and individualism significantly affect the adoption of IPSAS. Meanwhile, the relationships between masculinity, long-term orientation, indulgence, and the adoption of IPSAS were insignificant. The results also show that adopting IPSAS contributes directly to enhancing economic development at the country level by supporting transparency and enhancing investor confidence in the national economy. The results also show a significant relationship between four national cultural factors and the level of economic development at the country level. This study provides a better understanding of the impact of the society's cultural background in achieving sustainable economic development through adopting measures that support economic development plans and attracting foreign investment. In addition, the current study provides a basis for accounting policymakers at the state level to identify the determinants of the transition toward adopting international financial reporting standards for public sector units. Our results also help economic policymakers in developing countries formulate economic policies in line with the country's cultural environment to enable them to achieve the desired goals.

Authors: Huang Qi , Yang Weiqi , Li Xiaofei , Xie Liqiao , Tang Dan , Qian Zhengming
Published: December 2024

Bistortae Rhizoma is a traditional Chinese medicine, which is the dried rhizome of Polygonum bistorta (PB). It has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-diabetic effects and so on. Among them, there exists a limited number of studies investigating the anti-diabetic effect of PB, and the specific ingredients responsible for this effect remain unclear. To rapidly screen α-glucosidase inhibitors in extracts of PB, this study explored the relation between effective components and enzyme inhibitory activity based on component-effect analysis, revealing its key active component. After the suppressing effect of extracts of PB from different batches on α-glucosidase was tested, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was employed to plot fingerprint of PB and evaluate the similarity of fingerprint. Combined with HPLC-Q-Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS)/MS qualitative analysis, the grey relational analysis and partial least squares regression analysis were performed to screen active components, and molecular docking was used for activity validation. The results indicated that the 11 batches of PB extracts can effectively inhibit α-glucosidase, with half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 1.71-35.62 µg/mL, which had stronger inhibitory activity compared to the positive control acarbose (IC50 of 148.00 µg/mL). Among them, the PB07 batch of PB extract derived from Shandong province exerted the best inhibitory effect, with an IC50 of 1.71 µg/mL. The grey relational analysis and partial least squares regression analysis revealed that in the 11 batches of samples, 7 characteristic peaks had a relatively large correlation value with the inhibitory activity of PB on α-glucosidase, and the regression coefficient was positively correlated with inhibitory activity, indicating the importance of variables and high contribution. Through secondary mass spectrometry and database comparison, the 7 components were identified as 6-O-galloylglucose, L-tryptophan, (+)-gallocatechin-(4α→8)-(+)-catechin, deacetyl asperuloside, chlorogenic acid, catechin-5-O-glucoside, and digalloylglucose. It is noteworthy that the 7 components were all identified as α-glucosidase inhibitors in PB extract for the first time. Further molecular docking results showed that the binding energies of the 7 active components to α-glucosidase were all less than -6.0 kcal/mol, hinting significant inhibitory activity of α-glucosidase.

The results of this study provide research ideas for the development of hypoglycemic drugs using PB in the future.
A fábula fala de ti, só que com outro nome! Colonialismo e escravidão no Livro I d’O capital
Authors: Galli Tatsch Mathias
Published: December 2024

Karl Marx, in the first volume of Capital, points to the need to study modern colonial slavery in detail since it would reveal a world shaped according to the image of the bourgeoisie, establishing, thus, the colonial slavery as a structure able to reveal a truth about capitalism itself. Therefore, this article intends to understand how this could work. This is, then, an exercise to highlight aspects of Marxian investigation of the capitalist mode of production, considering the metropolis-colony relations. To do so, in addition to the reading of Capital, this article also draws on Marx’s writings on the Civil War in the United States, a theme that is present throughout Volume I. This comparative reading between these two Marx’s texts shows the functioning of this investigative procedure, which departs from the particular historical fact to extract truth concerning the general logic of capitalism.
O sujeito oculto das remoções: empresariado e favelas na Guanabara (1962-1973)
Authors: Pestana Marco Marques
Published: December 2024

In the years 1962-1973, the city of Rio de Janeiro was deeply transformed by a policy of systematic slums removal. Although many past researches have frequently pointed to the alignment of such a policy to the interests of real estate capitals, this particular matter remains to be thoroughly examined. Therefore, the present article seeks to analyze the policy of favela removal taking into account the deep entanglement between the dimensions of State and civil society in that historical period. The main hypothesis is that the business community in real estate sector was not a passive beneficiary of such a policy, but a decisive agent in its design and effective implementation, specially during the military-entrepreneurial dictatorship that began in 1964.

Swarm intelligence and decentralized AI represent revolutionary approaches to solving complex problems by mimicking the collective behavior of natural systems such as ant colonies, bee hives, and bird flocks. This research explores the principles and applications of these methodologies in dynamic, distributed environments. By leveraging decentralized decision-making and self-organizing capabilities, swarm intelligence and decentralized AI systems offer robust solutions for challenges in robotics, optimization, and resource allocation. This study delves into key components, including multi-agent collaboration, adaptive learning, and emergent behavior, to develop scalable and efficient algorithms. Case studies from fields like logistics, environmental monitoring, and disaster response highlight the real-world potential of these technologies. Furthermore, the research examines the ethical and computational challenges inherent in decentralized AI systems, proposing frameworks to enhance transparency and accountability. By integrating insights from biology, computer science, and engineering, this work aims to advance the state-of-the-art in distributed AI systems, paving the way for innovative applications in industries ranging from healthcare to smart cities.
Resilient teaching in the northeast of Thailand—Emotional dynamics and performance in private education
Authors: Thi Ha Kyaw , Rodrigo Russell
Published: December 2024

Examining the emotional well-being of teachers in Thailand’s private school sector provides significant insights into the dynamics of educational environments. Utilising a cross-sectional quantitative approach, this study investigates the emotional landscapes, attitudes, and coping methods of 109 teachers and 155 students in the Northeast region. This study highlights a young demographic among teachers, an indicator of a call for much inclusivity, particularly LGBTQIA+ representation, and an increase in male educators. The results revealed the teachers’ nuanced perceptions regarding instructional challenges and aspirations, with age, marital status, years of experience, and school size notably shaping these perspectives. Teachers principally reported lower levels of negative emotions. However, a significant concern was exhaustion, pointing to the urgent need for coping strategies to mitigate student disengagement and boost teaching efficacy. The study’s findings underscore the pressing need for these coping strategies, such as relaxation, communication, social support, and mindfulness, signalling the significance of both personal and communal support systems in navigating teaching stress. The study critically identifies significant correlations highlighting the interconnectedness between teachers’ emotions and attitudes and the impact of the school or work environment on performance. These results could influence the global discussion on educators’ health and well-being. This could urge re-evaluation of educational policies and advocacy for in-depth support systems that prioritise teachers’ well-being, thus fostering a transformative educational environment marked by enhanced teacher resilience and improved academic outcomes.

The aim of the study is the need to use traditional methods in working with text, memorization, listening, writing, reading, as well as the use of Internet resources, i.e. innovative methods in studying Russian as a foreign language. Features of working with text, its main goal, achieving results, memorization, increasing vocabulary. Using non-traditional methods in studying words, including as many senses as possible (charm, taste, sight, tactile senses, etc.) If a student uses as many senses as possible when studying one word, he will not forget the name of a particular object or product. Using Internet sources, sites to create presentations with text and pictures. The article also notes the works of linguists who have contributed not only to the development of the Russian language, but also to the development of any language, since the study of any language has a common "framework" form and methodology for its successful study. Whether it is the Kyrgyz language, Russian, English or any other, it begins with memorizing the alphabet, letter shapes, memorizing words, phrases, speaking, listening, etc. But the important thing in learning a language is that both the teacher and the student must both set one goal: to try their best to learn.

Annotation of the study - disclosure, clarification, study and understanding of hieroglyphs in the process of gaming methods and their meaning in modern Chinese. The article focuses on the implementation of interactive and exciting games in the process of teaching Chinese in schools and higher education institutions. Through these games, the content, meaning and structure of these words and phrases in modern Chinese and Russian languages are determined, the possibility of acquaintance in the modern meaning. In writing the article, I used the teaching of the Chinese language using the method of role-playing games, their importance in learning a foreign language. The scientific novelty lies in the consideration of words and hieroglyphs of the Chinese language, teaching methods for easy and quick learning by students, determining their meanings in modern Chinese and other languages. As a result of the study, a sound methodology was undertaken to teach hieroglyphs through games and the meaning of words in Russian and Chinese. An attempt to reveal the true meaning of words in both languages. It is emphasized that the study of Chinese hieroglyphs in foreign languages has been studied very little by scientists. At present stage, studying the methodology of teaching hieroglyphs during games is very relevant.

Published: December 2024

This scientific article aims to analyze the integration of Rest API services developed in different programming languages, Java and Python. The services perform the same routine tasks, consult an external API and store the information in the same relational database, PostgreSQL. At the end of the execution of the service routines, a report was generated on the time taken to complete the task. With these results, added to the efforts made to develop the respective APIs, it was possible to generate a relative comparison of some aspects such as performance, complexity, execution time and ease of use. From this analysis, data was generated to clarify which language has the best performance when implementing REST APIs.
