Coups d'État, Political Legitimacy, and Instability in Mali
Authors: Wing Susanna D.
Published: October 2023

Abstract: Mali, once argued to be a democratic model for Africa, is in a state of perennial crisis, the result of poor governance, unmet democratic expectations, and competition for domestic political legitimacy among the political class, the military, and religious leaders. After the 1991 revolution, international donors poured money into Mali to promote democratization. Meanwhile, most Malian citizens were becoming increasingly disconnected from a growing political class dependent on these funds. This article shows how popular protests led to both the reversal of family-law reform and the instigation of military coups d'état. The lack of accountability of the political class and the influx of donor money have contributed to increased popular perceptions of state corruption and impunity. Peace and security are impossible amid governance failures and serial coups d'état. This article explains the political consequences of the breakdown of popular trust and political legitimacy of the ruling elite and argues that restoring trust and legitimacy is a critical element to rebuilding Mali.
Silko, Kimmerer, and Plantationocene Storytelling
Authors: Bernhard Stephanie
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT: According to the Plantationocene narrative, human nature changed in or around the year 1610, when the genocide of Indigenous peoples in the Americas may have caused a drop in atmospheric carbon dioxide. While many environmental humanities scholars in the Global North have replaced the term "Anthropocene" with "Plantationocene" to highlight environmental inequities, they still impose a global historical narrative on many peoples who already have their own origin stories, modes of understanding history, and environmental relationships. Like the Anthropocene, the Plantationocene reinforces western narratives of a singular linear "fall" from an ecological paradise to a laborious agricultural system. The essay highlights parallels between the Plantationocene narrative and foundational western origin stories, including the fall of Adam and Eve and the descent from the Golden Age to the Iron Age in Greco-Roman mythology. Both narratives posit prehistorical Earth as a leisurely, pastoral space in which the land gave freely to humans. Both also include a fall, in which the land stops giving and humans must suddenly work and suffer in order to eat. Plantationocene scholars must center Global South environmental narratives, which seldom subscribe to a linear rendering of time, or risk recreating the universalizing Anthropocene. Indigenous writers such as Robin Wall Kimmerer (Potawatomi) and Leslie Marmon Silko (Laguna Pueblo) do not cite the Columbian Exchange as the solitary event that forever marred their nations' environmental relations. Instead, in Braiding Sweetgrass (2015) and Ceremony (1977), they posit many environmental inflection points. Rather than reading the contemporary world as "fallen," they leave room for growth and wholeness even as they hold accountable the perpetrators of Indigenous genocide and environmental destruction. Rather than splitting history in two—a leisurely "before" and a laborious "after"—they imagine fulfilling agricultural work before European contact and environmental tragedy that postdates the seventeenth century.
People-Tree Entanglements: Pine in Aotearoa New Zealand
Authors: Barbour Karen , Barbour Margaret , Maxwell Te Kahautu , Pohipi Danie
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT: Reflecting from the perspectives of a plant scientist, an Indigenous Māori scholar, a Māori tōhunga (spiritual leader), and an arts researcher, we engage with the concept of the "plantationocene" (Mitman 5). Our focus is to reclaim and communicate our different cultural narratives of people and trees, particularly focusing on Pinus radiata D. Don , introduced for commercial forestry in Aotearoa New Zealand. Like many large trees in the era of the plantationocene, pine plays a role in local and global carbon and water cycles, as well as in multiple and diverse cultural narratives. Drawing on Karen Barad's concept of entanglement, we seek to reveal our people-pine entanglements. In this paper, we utilize the methodologies of interviewing, observation, and the tools of narrative inquiry, as well as quantitative scientific techniques, to write back and forwards between personal experiences and the understandings of our wider social-cultural context in Aotearoa New Zealand. This writing back and forth mirrors the movement back and forth between our local experience at home in the Global South and the global theorizing of the plantationocene. We identify the complexity of people-tree entanglements, problematizing a simplistic application of the plantationocene in the context of Aotearoa New Zealand.
Jews, Law, and the Modern State: Legal Nationalization in Colonial North Africa
Authors: Marglin Jessica M.
Published: October 2023

Abstract: This article explores the transformation of Jewish law in the French colonial Maghrib (late nineteenth century to mid-twentieth century). Drawing primarily on Jewish newspapers in French and Judeo-Arabic and responsa in Hebrew, it explores how the perception and practice of Jewish law shifted in Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. First, westernizing Jews came to think about Jewish law through the lens of French law. The status of women under Jewish law became a particular concern for many self-styled modernizers, though of course questions about women's rights were never absent from rabbinically oriented discourse. Second, Jewish law was nationalized—that is, authorities made efforts to both standardize and modernize Jewish law in a national mode, creating a Moroccan Jewish law, a Tunisian Jewish law, etc. Third, the elevation of Jewish law to a national, state-sanctioned jurisdiction imposed on all Jews—regardless of whether they believed or even whether they had converted out of Judaism—posed thorny legal problems. The legal history of Jews in twentieth-century North Africa offers an opportunity to rethink both the engagement of Jewish law with the state and the emergence of new ways of understanding Judaism and Jewish identity in the modern Middle East.
Challenging Texts With Violence Toward Women: Lamentations and Comfort Woman in Feminist Postcolonial Perspective
Authors: Ku Eliana Ah-Rum
Published: October 2023

Abstract: Postcolonial feminist hermeneutics presents many challenges to the traditional interpretation of Bible passages. Recognizing the ethical issues in Old Testament metaphors about unclean and unfaithful women, readers now contemplate how to understand and accept in modern times these texts that reveal disenfranchised and excluded voices. This study deals with the violence inflicted on women under the guise of reasonable punishment and its unavoidable results as these are narrated in cultural contexts. This study uses a postcolonial feminist perspective to examine how the book of Lamentations and the novel Comfort Woman reveal the violence, oppression, and forced silence imposed on women. In addition, through finding the value in both the witness to and resistance to suffering, as well as through exploring participation in suffering, this study probes how to dismantle the structure of colonialism that reduces women to victims and offers an alternative reading of the biblical script that in the past has justified violence against women.
Deconfining Translation in Samuel Beckett's Le Dépeupleur and The Lost Ones
Authors: Roberts Trask
Published: October 2023

Abstract: Le Dépeupleur (1970), Samuel Beckett's short work of prose translated by the author himself as The Lost Ones (1972), crafts a scenario in which 200 bodies are confined to a squat cylinder with scant more than a square meter each and only the rumor of an exit. The confinement Beckett imposes on these dehumanized bodies goes beyond the spatial, and also manifests itself on temporal, linguistic, and narrative planes. Beckett's two versions of the text (English and French) engage each other in ways that both reinforce the confined nature of this fictional universe as well as generate possibilities for liberation.
Agency after the Subject: Beckett with Merleau-Ponty
Authors: Borg Ruben
Published: October 2023

Abstract: In Beckett and Embodiment , Amanda Dennis argues for an ecological rethinking of the concept of agency in Beckett, offering a powerful conceptual framework by which to reorganize poststructuralist, posthumanist and new materialist concerns. The book's central claim is that in his life-long engagement with embodiment Beckett invites us to disarticulate the concept of agency from intentionality and to redistribute it onto a space shaped by what Merleau-Ponty calls the body-subject. Beckett's prose reimagines agency as such a spatial phenomenon—irreducible to individual will and untethered from old mind-matter dichotomies. In developing this idea, Dennis reinvigorates the debate on agency in contemporary criticism by shifting the focus from questions of will, desire, and intention to figures of embodiment and lived space.
Painful Productions: A Review of Hannah Simpson's Samuel Beckett and the Theatre of the Witness
Authors: Roberts Trask
Published: October 2023

Abstract: In Samuel Beckett and the Theatre of the Witness , Hannah Simpson orients our attention to the multiplicities of pain found in and disappeared from the postwar theatrical productions of Samuel Beckett. She demonstrates how the central themes of Beckett's oeuvre—corporeal (dis)functioning, the impotence of language, the (im)possibility for intersubjective understanding—are illuminated through the manner in which Beckett writes and stages pain. Simpson contrasts Beckett's treatment and representation of pain with those of some contemporaries; plays by Camus, Picasso, Ionesco, and Duras figure in respective chapters. Simpson's methodologies are varied, ranging from medical approaches to pain management and diagnoses to theories of trauma and witnessing.
The Shaping of Military Nursing in Israel: 1947–1958
Authors: Segev Ronen
Published: October 2023

Abstract: Unique realities influenced the development of the military nursing profession in Israel. While other countries, such as the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada, established military hospitals staffed by separately trained military nurses, conditions in Israel led to the development of interlocking military and civilian healthcare sectors, as the young country responded simultaneously to healthcare needs brought on by war, ongoing attacks on civilians, and massive waves of immigrants, including European Holocaust survivors and Jews from Arab countries. Relying on an analysis of documents in multiple archives, contemporaneous newspaper articles and interviews conducted with nurses who served in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War and the 1956 Sinai Campaign, this paper describes the development of the nursing profession in Israel through 1958, when military nursing was fully established as part of the civilian health sector, a reality that continues to the present.
South-South Triangulations: Fabric, Marriage, and Decolonization in Latifa al-Zayyat’s The Open Door and Leila Aboulela’s Lyrics Alley
Authors: Ayad Nada
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT: Heeding Arabic literary scholar Waïl Hassan’s call for literary comparatist work that does not center the United States or Europe, in this article, I investigate two novels of the Global South set in the same political moment of decolonization. Examining the Egyptian writer Latifa al-Zayyat’s The Open Door (1960) and the Sudanese writer Leila Aboulela’s novel Lyrics Alley (2010), I study the significance of women’s sartorial choices, what these sartorial choices symbolize within the central marriage plots, and what both reveal about the charged political fabric in the country in which each text is set—the early years of the 1950s in which Egypt gained independence from British colonial rule but before Sudan’s independence from Anglo-Egyptian co-rule. I contend that Al-Zayyat’s work invites a dynamism to women’s writing history and reveals an indigenous epistemology, while Aboulela’s novel centers the quotidian only to uphold colonial supremacy.
RESEARCHING THE PLACES OF SPONTANEOUS BURIALS OF DECEASED AND KILLED CITIZENS IN THE DE-OCCUPIED TERRITORIES
Authors: Kavierina Tetiana , Kryvonos Maksym
Published: October 2023

Abstract. The article highlights the peculiarities of organizing and conducting an investigation of spontaneous burial sites of deceased and killed citizens in the de-occupied territories. The algorithm of actions of law enforcement bodies after receiving a report on the presence of spontaneous burials in a certain territory is considered. The author draws attention to the issue of involving qualified specialists and experts in the investigation of spontaneous burial sites and providing them with specialized assistance. The author describes the actions of the investigator and the specialists involved during the working phase of the inspection of the spontaneous burial sites, the removal, examination, and recovery of the bodies, the fixation of the traces found, and the packaging of the material evidence. Attention is paid to the recommendations for drawing up a protocol for the inspection of the crime scene. The possibilities of using the modern laboratory equipment "ANDE 6C" for the analysis of human DNA profiles and the identification of the bodies of the dead are demonstrated.

High risk sexual behaviour is a major contributor to sexually transmitted infections and unintended pregnancy, which are not uncommon among young persons with physical disability. The objective was to determine the prevalence, types and factors associated with high risk sexual behaviour among young persons living with physical disability. Methods: Participants were selected through stratified proportionate sampling from four centres. Data collection was from 26th November 2020 to 19th February 2021. Simple proportions was used in analysing socio-demographic data and high risk sexual behaviour was categorised into low level (at most one high risk sexual behaviour) and high level. (At least two high risk sexual behaviours) and analysed using multiple logistic regression. Kruskal Wallis test was carried out to examine the differences in high risk sexual behaviour between the subgroups of young person with physical disability. A p-value of less than 0.05 at a confidence interval 95% was considered statistically significant. Results: Four hundred and thirteen participants were interviewed out of which one hundred and seventeen (28%) had visual disability, 27(7%) had limb disability and 269 (65%) had hearing/speech disability. The mean age of the participants was 17.6 ± 2.4 years. Out of the 172 participants who had ever had sexual intercourse, 13 (7.6%) did not engage in any type of HRSB and (92.4%) indulged in at least one type of high risk sexual behaviour. There was no difference in the proportion of high risk sexual behaviour between the different subgroups of YPWPD. Male gender (aOR, 5.5; 95% CI, and 2.0-3.3) lack of higher level maternal education, maternal unemployment and lack of religiosity were significantly associated with high level high risk sexual behaviour.

Sull’originario significato del termine «paelex»
Authors: Zuccotti Ferdinando
Published: October 2023

L’originario significato di paelex, che le fonti storiche tendono ad indicarci come una sorta di «concubina» e di femina probrosa, se non addirittura di «prostituta», doveva in arcaico semplicemente riferirsi alla donna che conviveva con un uomo in attesa che l’anno di usus la trasformasse in moglie conventa in manum. Il fatto che il suo significato originario non avesse affatto accezioni negative e dimostrato in particolare da un’epigrafe del III-IV secolo d.C. in cui viene indicata dalla stessa madre come paelex una bambina morta a undici anni, segno che l’originario significato per nulla negativo del termine non era andato perduto.
Sun Yat-sen: a Life Beyond Symbols. A Semiotic Approach to Modernity
Authors: De Angeli Aglaia
Published: October 2023

Sun Yat‑sen is the quintessential Chinese historical figure embodying modernity: a revolutionary representative of Chinese national identity still revered on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. This essay takes an interdisciplinary approach to Sun’s emblems of modernity, drawing upon semiotics and the study of material culture. The symbols examined are: Sun’s photographic portrait as Provisional President of the Republic of China; his photographic portrait as Director General of the National Railways; the suit which he created and which was given his name; and his mausoleum in Nanjing, which have all been deployed to perpetuate Sun Yat‑sen’s memory and appropriate it in support of later political agendas.

Did the COVID-19 pandemic change internal rural migration patterns in Serbia?
Authors: Lukić Vesna , Lović Obradović Suzana , Stojilković Gnjatović Jelena
Published: October 2023

Recent empirical research on internal migration has focused on the change in migration volume, before and after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, by the degree of urbanization. Less is known about the types of rural areas that are attracting internal migrants. This study aims to explore the changes in internal rural migration patterns in Serbia due to the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on the types of rural settlements as places of destinations and types of urban settlements as places of the origin of migrants. Relying on the additionally processed official national annual statistical data for the period 2018–2021, we offer findings on the differences in volume and socio-demographic characteristics of migrants across six internal migration flows (from small towns, medium-sized towns, and large cities, to suburban and non-suburban rural settlements). The results reveal that the pandemic affected an increase of rural–rural migration as well as rural in-migration from medium-sized towns. We also find that after an initial drop in values for in- and out-migration rates in 2020, relocation intensity exceeded the pre-pandemic level in 2021, with a positive net migration rate for all age groups except 15–30. The unfavorable economic characteristics of rural in-migrants shifted slightly in pandemic years since the share of active and population with personal means rose in non-suburban settlements, while the percentage of dependent population decreased. The opposite holds for suburban settlements.
A Case Study on Career Coaching focusing on Career-Interrupted Women using the Success Case Method
Authors:   The Korea Association of Education Consulting & Coaching, KAECC, Yim Su-won
Published: October 2023

The purpose of this study is to explore the success stories of participants in a career coaching program designed for women who have experienced career interruptions. For this research, we conducted a case study by selecting successful examples among the coachees (participants) in the “Career Coaching Program for Women with Career Interruptions” held at the Saeil Center in Area G, Seoul. Interviews were conducted with three coachees, and the analysis identified their experiences before, during, and after coaching, as well as the factors contributing to the success of the coaching. Women with career interruptions initially joined the coaching program by chance, often accompanied by psychological unease. Through the coaching experience, they established a positive self-identity, underwent a mindset shift concerning work, and ultimately regained confidence in job-seeking activities. Furthermore, conversations with the coach helped them establish a sense of direction in their careers and take on new career challenges. The study confirmed that the coach's expertise, trust, and social support were instrumental in achieving successful coaching outcomes. Based on these findings, this study suggests implications for expanding career coaching programs that can assist women with career interruptions in re-entering the job market.
Stakeholder Involvement in Program Evaluation
Authors:   Korean Society for Educational Evaluation, Lee Wonsuk
Published: October 2023

As the critics of traditional program evaluation centered on quantitative research methods in the 60s and 70s in the U.S. were raised, stakeholder involvement was widely recognized as a solution in the program evaluation field in the 2000s. However, issues such as which stakeholders are involved and the depth of stakeholder involvement have been raised. Especially, in the case of Korea, there seems to be a lack of discussion on the needs and procedures of stakeholder involvement. This article investigated the meaning and necessity of stakeholder involvement in program evaluation along with its background. Also, general ways that can be used by evaluators who want to apply stakeholder involvement in the actual evaluation were presented. In addition, implications of stakeholder involvement to current program evaluations in Korea were derived.
Exploring the Predictive Variables on Adolescents Career Maturity Development Based on Mixed Effect Random Forest: Interpretation using SHAP
Authors:   Korean Society for Educational Evaluation, Baek Yeheun , Chung Hyewon
Published: October 2023

The purpose of this study is to explore predictive variables of career maturity during middle and high school. To do this, the mixed effects random forest that considers the hierarchical data structure of longitudinal data was applied to GEPS(gyeonggi education panel study) data from the 4th to 9th wave (7th-12th grades). To derive the major predictive variables which are more stable, the analysis through multiple imputation was repeated five times to identify the top 20 variables with a high SHAP (shapley additive expansion) importance index. As a result, 17 major predictive variables were derived by using SHAP value: ‘self-understanding as a learner’, ‘proactive initiative’, sub factors of self-directed learning ability, friend relationships, teacher relationships, and ‘career search during vacation’ were selected as key variables that predict development of career maturity. In addition, variables related to relationships between parent-child such as ‘parent parenting behavior’ and ‘attachment’, as well as students affective attitudes such as ‘self-esteem’, ‘self-efficacy’, and ‘learning motivation’ were selected as key predictive variables, too. The relationship between major predictive variables and career maturity was examined through the SHAP dependence plot, and educational implications for career development of adolescents were discussed.

In the 18th century, the development process of Montenegro's coat of arms began with the emergence of the first modern era coat of arms at the time of Metropolitan Danilo, preserved as a drawing in Russia, when the double-headed eagle symbol was introduced to the coat of arms, as a motif indicating the heritage of the Nemanjić and Crnojević dynasties. In addition to the eagle, there is mention of a lion on the metropolitan's coat of arms, which was found on a tombstone, lost to history, from his original grave at Podostrog Monastery - though there is no data as to what the coat of arms looked like. In the following period, apart from the double-headed eagle, the coat of arms of Montenegro came to include a lion passant as its integral part. This article examines the process of this motif's introduction to the official Montenegrin coat of arms.

In this work, the cellular network performance based on other cell interference predictions is presented.  It presents a mathematical model of co-channel interference analysis in hexagonal and linear cell shapes through a log-distance propagation model to investigate the effect of path loss exponent value on the received signal quality of the downlink.  Simulation results obtained show that as the power exponent value increase, the interfering signals attenuation is increased resulting in received signal quality improvement.  The signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) received by subscribers close to the cell edge will be less due to the contribution of the near-interfering cells especially when multiple layers of interfering cells are considered. The simulations confirmed that the impact of multi tiers of interfering cells cannot be ignored in systems of small cluster size as they may contribute to system performance degradation.
Enhancing Intrusion Detection with LSTM Recurrent Neural Network Optimized by Emperor Penguin Algorithm

Intrusion detection systems (IDS) have been developed to identify and classify these attacks in order to prevent them from occurring. However, the accuracy and efficiency of these systems are still not satisfactory. In previous research, most of the methods used were based on ordinary neural networks, which had low accuracy. Therefore, this thesis, with the aim of presenting a new approach to intrusion detection and improving its accuracy and efficiency, uses long-term memory (LSTM) optimized with the Penguin optimization algorithm (EPO). In the proposed approach, first, the features were pre-processed by normalization, cleaning, and formatting in number format. In the next step, the linear discriminant analysis (LDA) method was used to reduce the dimensions of the processed features, and after that, the EPO algorithm was used to optimize the size of the hidden unit of the LSTM network. Finally, the optimized network was evaluated using the NSL-KDD dataset, which is a widely used benchmark dataset in the field of intrusion detection. The results obtained for the training and test datasets were 99.4 and 98.8%, respectively. These results show that the proposed approach can accurately identify and classify network intrusions and outperform many existing approaches.

Published: October 2023

In this paper, we defined new triple transformation, which is called the fractional triple g-transformation of the order αl ,0<α≤1 for fractional of differentiable functions. This transformation is generalized to double g-transformation. Which has the following form;Tg_α (u(ξ,τ,μ)=p(s)∫_0^∞▒∫_0^∞▒∫_0^∞▒〖E_α 〖(-(q_1 (s)ξ+q_2 (s)τ+q_3 (s)μ)〗^α 〖(dξ)〗^α 〖(dτ)〗^α 〖(dμ)〗^α 〗

Fraud is an ancient yet ever-changing profession. Because of the digitization of money, financial transactions, banks, fraudsters now have a limitless number of possibilities to perpetrate crime from behind a screen, anywhere around the world. Fraud has a broad influence, with direct ramifications for business and the economy. It is of great worry to cybercrime organizations as recent studies have proven that ML algorithms may successfully be utilized to identify fraudulent transactions in massive amounts of payment data. Such techniques may identify fraudulent transactions in real time, which human auditors may miss. In this research, we apply supervised ML algorithms to the issue of fraud identification by analyzing simulated financial transaction data that is available to the public. Our aim is to show how supervised ML methods may be utilized to successfully identify data with extreme class disproportion. By way of example, we show how exploratory analysis may be utilized to identify fraudulent from real purchases. We also show that Random Forest outperform Logistic Regression when applied to a clearly distinguished dataset.
Optimization of Association Rule Using Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) Approach
Authors: Roni La’biran  , Muhammad Kristiawan
Published: October 2023

The Apriori algorithm creates all possible association rules between items in the database using the Association Rule Mining and Apriori Algorithm. Using Ant Colony Optimization, a new algorithm is proposed for improving association rule mining results. Using ant colony behaviour as a starting point, an optimization of ant colonies (ACO) is developed. The Apriori algorithm creates association rules. Determine the weakest rule set and reduce the association rules to find rules of higher quality than apriori based on the Ant Colony algorithm's threshold value. Through optimization and improvement of rules generated for ACO, the proposed research work aims to reduce the scanning of datasets.

AbstractObjectives: The experienced benefit of the COVID-19 pandemic by adults has not attracted many research studies and lacks longitudinal studies. The purpose of this study is to improve understanding of the lived experiences of adults during the COVID-19 pandemic over time in the UK, with a national representative sample.Design: Using a longitudinal approach, this study examined people's lived experiences twice over one year of the pandemic (Wave 1 n=26, Wave 2 n=17). We analysed the data with a constructivist grounded theory from Wave 1 and Wave 2.Findings: This study found three themes: intrapersonal growth, interpersonal relationship, and social cohesion. The benefit of the sudden lifestyle change was evident for many. Many people enjoyed having more time for self-care and family, and experienced a sense of solidarity within the community. As the time went on many participants mentioned they experienced groundhog days and that they felt boredom. Despite many participants enjoying the closeness to family members, others talked about tensions. Concerns were raised about future relationships with friends due to the lack of face to face meetings. The feeling of social cohesion and solidarity waned with the progress of the pandemic when people adhered less to the safety rules. The experience of COVID-19 pandemic impacted people’s intrapersonal growth, interpersonal relationships and the sense of cohesion over time. This evidence can inform future pandemic planning.
