IMOVINSKOPRAVNI SPOROVI KAO PREDMET OBITELJSKE MEDIJACIJE: NA PUTU KA SVEOBUHVATNOJ MEDIJACIJI
Authors: Čulo Margaletić Anica
Published: July 2024

Sporovi koji se javljaju između članova obitelji mogu biti imovinske i neimovinske naravi. Međutim, posebnost ovih sporova, za razliku primjerice od nekih drugih iz područja općeg građanskog prava, jest njihova povezanost, isprepletenost te međuuvjetovanost. To osobito vrijedi kada je riječ o sporovima koji nastanu zbog prestanka obiteljske zajednice, kada je potrebno riješiti mnogobrojna pitanja koja se tiču, među ostalim, i pravnih posljedica koje takva promjena donosi u život svakog člana obitelji posebno i svih članova međusobno. Nužnost jest svakako preoblikovanje postojećih odnosa, a postupci kakav je obiteljska medijacija, kojima je cilj pomoći i osnažiti pojedince u preuzimanju aktivne uloge u kreiranju vlastitih rješenja otvorenih pitanja uz pravodobnu potporu stručne, educirane osobe, od neprocjenjive su važnosti. Polazeći od navedenoga, u ovome ćemo radu nastojati razmotriti postojeće stanje kada su u pitanju mogućnosti primjene obiteljske medijacije kao načina rješavanja sporova imovinskopravne naravi s aspekta pozitivnog zakonskog uređenja, te pokušati proniknuti u razloge ograničene primjene ovog alternativnog puta, kao i dati neke prijedloge o tome kako približiti ovaj obiteljskopravni institut stručnoj, ali i općoj javnosti s ciljem osnaživanja i širenja primjene mirnog rješavanja sporova obiteljskopravne naravi, a koji se odnose i na imovinu.

A Systematic Investigation on Botnet Intrusion Detection Using Various Machine Learning Techniques
Authors: Kalidindi Archana , Arrama Mahesh Babu
Published: July 2024

The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing rapidly in an exponential manner due to its versatility in technology. This has led to many challenges in securing the IoT environment. Devices in IoT environments are vulnerable to various cyberattacks. Botnet-based attacks are predominant and widespread in nature. Due to insufficient memory and computational power, the IoT environment cannot handle the botnet attack that affects security. Identifying intrusions in IoT environments is another challenge for researchers. Finding unknown patterns in the data generated through IoT networks helps improve security in the IoT environment. Machine learning (ML) is a platform that helps identify patterns in the provided data. In this study, we present our research on classifying incoming data from the IoT as malicious or benign using machine learning techniques. We propose an ML-based botnet attack detection framework for nine commercial IoT devices that primarily target BASHLITE and Mirai botnet attacks. Rigorous pragmatic research was conducted on the N-BaIoT dataset, which was extracted from realtime IoT devices connected to a network. Using this framework, the results have been depicted, which can efficiently detect botnet attacks and can also be applied to any other types of attacks.
Paesaggi e ville nella pittura romana tra I secolo a.C. e I secolo d.C.
Authors: Bragantini Irene
Published: July 2024

Pitture architettoniche e paesistiche godono di particolare favore, a partire dalla prima età augustea. In un racconto del mondo inteso a rappresentare anche il dominio sul mondo, i paesaggi della Farnesina si segnalano per la loro grande varietà, che non trova confronto nelle pitture dei decenni successivi, perloppiù piccoli quadretti o medaglioni collocati in posizioni secondarie. Notevole la costanza dei paesaggi con ville, da intendersi come allusione a lussuosi modi di vita, realtà fittizie e immaginarie messe in scena dalla pittura.

Le rôle du groupe littéraire Tự Lực (1932-1945) dans l’évolution du roman vietnamien au début du xxe siècle
Authors: Giáng Hương Nguyễn
Published: July 2024

Dans une société en pleine mutation à la suite de l’implantation coloniale, une nouvelle littérature naît au Viêt Nam avec de nouveaux genres littéraires y compris le roman. Marquée par de fortes empreintes de la littérature française, elle prouve la capacité des écrivains vietnamiens contemporains à approfondir leurs idées, à explorer les sentiments dans un genre littéraire plus libre et plus étendu. L’évolution du roman en quốc ngữ sera indissociable des activités du groupe littéraire Tự Lực [Autonome], l’un des cercles littéraires les plus importants des années 1930. Ce groupe réunit un grand nombre d’écrivains appartenant à la jeune génération et se donne pour objectif de se défaire des vestiges de la société traditionaliste et de promouvoir a contrario les valeurs nouvelles de l’individualisme. Nous proposons dans cet article d’observer la place du groupe Tự Lực, en passant du courant romantique à l’inspiration réaliste, dans l’évolution du roman vietnamien durant la première moitié du xxe siècle.

La troupe et la cérémonie traditionnelle rituelle Zu Ma Zhen du temple Tu An Gong de Tuku de Taïwan : un patrimoine en danger
Authors: Shih Te-Yu , Roussel Shih Agnès
Published: July 2024

La troupe Zu Ma Zhen dévouée au temple Tu An Gong de Tuku du sud de Taïwan constitue l’une des nombreuses troupes religieuses répertoriées au patrimoine culturel immatériel de Tainan de Taïwan. Le terme « Zu Ma Zhen » (竹馬陣) signifie littéralement « troupe religieuse processionnelle des chevaux en bambou » et désigne deux notions, la troupe, et l’une de ses performances. La troupe regroupe douze artistes qui incarnent les douze animaux du zodiaque chinois. Ils portaient autrefois des costumes et accessoires confectionnés en bambou. Parmi eux, le cheval blanc est considéré comme le personnage le plus noble, d’où l’origine de l’appellation de la troupe. Les acteurs interprètent deux genres différents de spectacle, le rituel exorcisant Zu Ma Zhen, suivi par de petits opéras divertissants et comiques, les Zu Ma Xi, performances qui se transmettent avec fidélité depuis plus de 300 ans. L’objectif de cette cérémonie est de démoniser le Monde et lui apporter pureté et harmonie. Cette note de recherche propose une approche herméneutique de son origine, ses caractéristiques, ainsi que de sa procession religieuse musicale et parathéâtrale, art combinant dialogues, incantations, chants, jeux d’acteur et danses. Elle propose de mieux comprendre cette tradition : quels sont ses origines, ses particularités, son mode de transmission et ses caractéristiques scéniques qui la distinguent des autres troupes religieuses de Taïwan et la rendent unique ? Face aux évolutions sociales, à la modernisation des mœurs, à l’exode rural et au vieillissement de la population, cet art survivra-t-il ?

Authors: Macera Lisa , Deslarzes Ken , Crook Oliver-James , Pioch Sylvain , Andrieu Julien
Published: July 2024

Mangrove restoration projects have multiplied in last decades, but many have failed, and monitoring is often lacking. This paper aims at monitoring six projects in Benin, Senegal, Costa Rica, and the Philippines using remote sensing to evaluate the effectiveness of the studied restoration measures in terms of increase of mangroves cover. An unsupervised staked classification was performed to discriminate the land cover into four classes: water, dryland, mudflats, and mangroves. Projects combining hydrological restoration and mangrove replanting are the most effective and former aquaculture ponds or salt pan show rapid and regeneration, even without active restoration.
Athematic infinitives in Lesbian, Homer and other Greek dialects
Authors: van Beek Lucien
Published: July 2024

This paper evaluates how the Lesbian athematic infinitive endings ‑μεναι and ‑ν may shed light on the prehistoric development of this dialect. There is a widely-accepted supposition that these endings are evidence of linguistic contact between Lesbian and Eastern Ionic. Instead, I argue that the distributions of ‑μεναι and ‑ν in Lesbian neatly reflect the situation to be reconstructed for Proto-Greek: *‑men was attached to ablauting stems, while *‑hen attached to non‑ablauting stems. Further evidence in support of this reconstruction is adduced from other dialects and from Homeric Greek.
Onomastics and linguistic contact in Aegean Thrace
Authors: Guijarro Ruano Paloma
Published: July 2024

The aim of this paper is to analyse language contact phenomena in the stock of indigenous personal names from Aegean Thrace, a region which, according to Dana’s classification of Thracian personal names (OnomThrac, p. LXXVII), belongs to a transitional onomastic area. The material coming from the Greek coastal colonies will be examined from the point of view of linguistic contact between the Greek and Thracian languages. The focus will be on the definition of the mixed character of anthroponyms from a twofold perspective: the description of the Thracian evidence in light of Dana’s categorization and its adaptation to the Greek system of personal names. Particular attention will be paid to the emergence and diffusion of morphological processes of Hellenization of Thracian names.
Les noms interlinguistiques en Méditerranée antique
Authors: Minon Sophie
Published: July 2024

En partant de la typologie communément admise pour décrire les noms bilingues, dont la présentation la plus explicite est actuellement celle qu’a donnée D. Dana dans son Onomasticon Thracicum, on s’efforcera, en adoptant cette fois un point de vue helléno-centré, de classer les quatre types les mieux identifiés (suffixés, hybrides, noms commodément dits d’assonance, calques sémantiques) – voire d’en distinguer d’autres ou des sous-catégories – en fonction des degrés d’acculturation qu’ils dénotent et aussi de la volonté de représentation de ces différents degrés. Il s’agira ainsi d’essayer de restituer les différentes modalités de construction du nom interlinguistique dans plusieurs zones de contacts interculturels ainsi que les motivations qui ont présidé au choix de chacune d’entre elles. Seront étudiées, pour ce faire, l’étymologie et la sémantique de quelques noms d’apparence grecque, tant par l’alphabet dans lequel ils sont transcrits que par leur structure morphosyntaxique. Les noms analysés (Mitrobatas, Habrocomas, Astyage, Zôpyros, Méléagros, Erxiès et Dareios) ont été choisis notamment pour les liens qu’entretenaient leurs porteurs, ou du moins celui d’entre eux qui est à l’origine de la diffusion du nom sous une forme hellénisée, avec à la fois le monde grec et une autre culture.
Les anthroponymes béotiens en ‑ει et le nom du Thébain Tellê dans les inscriptions de Delphes
Authors: Blanc Alain
Published: July 2024

Les comptes relatifs à la reconstruction du temple d’Apollon à Delphes font connaître un Thébain dont le nom est écrit une fois Τελλη et une fois Τελλην. Pour comprendre cette différence, on étudiera d’abord les hypocoristiques béotiens en ‑ει, puis on regardera comment ils ont pu être adaptés dans la langue des inscriptions de Delphes. Enfin, on étudiera les hypocoristiques en ‑ήν, ‑ῆνος d’Apollonia d’Illyrie et d’Épidamne-Dyrrhachion, car il est probable que le rédacteur de l’inscription CID II, no 119 a doté le nom béotien d’un nominatif en ‑ήν au moment où le suffixe ‑ην‑ était en grande vogue dans ces deux cités et où certains porteurs de ces noms étaient amenés à se déplacer dans toute la Grèce.
An example of “Roman Greek” from Isthmia?
Authors: Nastasi Laura
Published: July 2024

This paper presents findings from a project on language use and language contact in Roman Corinth. Inscriptions in Latin and Greek written after the refoundation of the city as a Roman colony (44 BC) are studied. Some plausible examples of language contact have been observed in a 2nd‑c.‑AD dedication in Greek from Isthmia. They are connected to a group of five texts (one in Latin) mentioning the archiereus of the imperial cult in Achaea. The features that may reflect Latin influence are the Roman naming formula, the clause-final position of the main verbs, the conjunction τε, which seems to resemble Latin ‑que more than Greek usage, and possibly the use of the article. Non-linguistic factors are also taken into account. The study of the inscriptions from the area is progressively informing our assessment of the apparent deviations. The working hypothesis is that we have an example of “Roman Greek”, born of a process of accommodation, or even of translation from a Latin original.

Performance of Microturbine as in Microgrid Comparison With Fuel Cell
Authors: Biswas Soumen , Saha Sanjoy Kumar
Published: July 2024

As is well known, a microgrid is a small grid made up of a single or multiple conventional or unconventional power sources. In this case, the primary generator is a microturbine (MT), which may or may not be connected to the main grid. The authors talked about modelling several kinds of micro turbines when using MATLAB® Simulink® to implement mathematical modelling of the split-shaft kind. The behaviour of a MicroGrid (MG) operating in an island mode with MT and SOFC as the sources can be described using existing models. Although SOFC can alter its electrical output power (30%) from high to low, it responds slower than MT (2–3 times slower). It is shown that fuel cells and microturbines can perform load-following functions in a distributed generation system. Results demonstrate how well the two models were created for researching and analysing the transient dynamic response of MG.

Published: July 2024

Low frequency oscillation has been a major threat in large interconnected power systems. These low frequency oscillation curtains the power transfer capability of the line, thereby affecting the small signal analysis of the system and hence the performance of the system comes to a stake. Power system stabilizer (PSS) helps in diminishing these low frequency oscillations by providing auxiliary control signal to the generator excitation input. In this chapter, the authors have incorporated the concept of quasi-oppositional based learning (OBL) in butterfly optimization algorithm (BOA) to solve PSS problem. The proposed technique has been implemented on SMIB system and the supremacy of the suggested QOBOA accept has been accurated by different loading conditions to show the flexibility of QOBOA. The computed results thus obtained by the proposed techniques have been verified by comparing the results with those obtained by well published algorithms. The convergence characteristics as well authenticate the sovereignty of the considered algorithms.

Load-Based Compensation Using Active Power Filters
Authors: Nishad Dinesh Kumar , Tiwari Amar Nath , Khalid Saifullah
Published: July 2024

This review covers load-based compensation and active power filters for electrical system power quality improvements. Shunt or series compensating devices at the load terminal improve reactive power control, voltage stability, and power transfer. Active power filters inject compensatory currents or voltages to reduce harmonic distortion and reactive power use. Power quality can be improved with shunt, series, or hybrid APFs. Voltage-oriented control provides sinusoidal references for current or voltage control loops using voltage signal phase information. The authors investigate sliding mode control, which uses discontinuous control signals for fast dynamic response and durability. Although it has disadvantages, PI control is commonly utilized in speed control. Fuzzy logic and neural networks enable adaptive and intelligent APF control, which we investigate. With active power filters and load-based modifications, reactive power regulation and harmonic reduction improve power system performance and stability.

Food Culture in China Town
Authors: Seal Partho Pratim
Published: July 2024

The Tiretti bazaar in Kolkata has its history from the 18th century when immigrants from China settled there. The place is famous for the early morning Chinese breakfast with makeshift tables serving spring rolls, steamed buns, dumplings, and wontons. Post India's independence and after the Sino-India conflict of 1962, the community was affected severely. After breakfast, the area is used as a parking lot for the offices nearby and the community retracts. The study includes a qualitative approach of netnography and interviews with the diners at Tiretti Bazaar to understand their Chinese food experience. The findings of the study will help the policymakers to ponder upon the Chinese food culture which is slowly diminishing and has been in Kolkata for centuries.

Authors: Ruiz Miguel , Castanho Rui Alexandre , Trigoso Lilian Consuelo
Published: July 2024

This research addressed mystical tourism in the complex of 14 lagoons called “Las Huaringas” in the Piura region of Peru, particularly at Laguna Negra (the most visited) and Laguna Shimbe (the largest). These practices are widely embraced by the local population, as well as national and international visitors. The research design was phenomenological, and information was collected through semi-structured interviews with 65 participants. To protect the identity of each participant, the collected information was classified and processed using a code as follows: S (shaman), R (local resident), PTD (public transport drivers), T (tourist), LG (local government), and a number (1,2,3...) according to the order of data collection. Additionally, field observation and participant observation of the interaction between healers and participants at the lagoons were used. Field observations at Laguna Negra were conducted from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. This allowed for the identification of shamans from Huancabamba, various parts of Peru, and foreign countries, along with tourists and participants in diverse rituals. The complete immersion in the natural environment of the lagoons, participation in flowering rituals (including bathing in the lagoons), and ingestion of San Pedro (Echinopsis pachanoi) and other psychoactive beverages allowed for experiencing the ritual as both tourists and residents do, thereby acquiring a profound understanding of the study. Data collection ceased once information saturation was reached. After transcribing the interviews, they were analyzed using axial coding. Information triangulation was employed by cross-referencing data obtained from field observations and interviews. The results showed that tourists' search for local cultural expressions, the hope for physical or spiritual healing, and the fulfillment of personal goals and desires generate the meanings they assign to the Huancabamba rituals. The healers play the role of mediators in the quest to achieve the participants' personal objectives, promoting faith in the Christian God and His saints, as they attribute part of their powers of intersection and healing to them. The results regarding the perspective of the residents on mystical tourism in Huancabamba were twofold: on the one hand, they recognize the benefits to the local economy and the healing of illnesses thanks to the medicinal properties of the plants. On the other hand, they highlight the distortion of shamanic practice with the presence of fraudulent healers who take advantage of tourists' needs.

Published: July 2024

Automation is an indivisible part of recent computer applications. It reduces human efforts, operational cost, and produces results effectively. There are many applications where ‘automation' plays a very crucial role like healthcare, e-governance services, education, logistics, and manufacturing. Recent technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and cloud computing play vital roles in developing automated applications. Data is at center stage in these automated applications. Therefore, one can focus on ‘data', i.e., integrating data from variety of sources, handling the missing data, and processing it to get the relevant data. Classification and clustering methods can be applied to get better results. As discussed earlier, ‘automation' must benefit the end users in terms of time and operational cost. Being researchers, the aim should be on developing the ‘ease of living' applications. With the help of recent technologies, ‘paperless' applications can be developed.
