Published: December 2023

Current technological developments affect people's mobility in using transportation. The presence of online transportation has an impact on available public transportation. The study aims to determine the factors that influence consumer decision makers on the selection of conventional transportation services and online transportation. Data processing using regression analysis using SEM PLS tools. The results of SEM PLS from the total influence value of online transportation (y) have an influence on the price factor (x1) 0.506, security (x2) 0.488, ease of access (x3) 0.448, and convenience (x4) 0.470. As well as in conventional transportation (y) has a significant influence on the price factor (x1) 0.319, security (x2) 0.299, accessibility (x3) 0.331 and convenience (x4) 0.308. So that the significant variables are online prices for online transportation and ease of access to conventional transportation. The most influential SEM PLS value of online transportation is the evaluation price expected by consumers, namely the price is directly proportional to the facilities provided. While the influential factor on conventional transportation is the ease of access to the expected evaluation, namely the addition of shellter / bus stops.

Authors: Lieder Fabio Roman , Schäffer Burkhard
Published: December 2023

Vor dem Hintergrund der verstärkten Aufmerksamkeit für die Lehre qualitativer Methoden und dem darin fortschreitenden Einsatz von künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) geht es in diesem Beitrag um die Frage, inwiefern die Lehre von Verfahren rekonstruktiver Methoden, insbesondere der Dokumentarischen Methode, mittels generativer Sprachmodelle unterstützt werden kann. Der Beitrag beginnt mit einer Differenzierung von Interpretationseinstellungen, -orientierungen und -haltungen sowie der Unterscheidung von Methodenwissen und Methodenkönnen. Die Bedeutung von Forschungswerkstätten als Ort der Lehre von Methodenkönnen wird hervorgehoben und es werden kognitionswissenschaftliche Perspektiven in Bezug auf Forschungswerkstätten diskutiert. Nach einer Rekonstruktion der Möglichkeiten derzeitiger Sprachmodelle wie ChatGPT wird auf der Basis von Gruppendiskussionen zunächst der herkömmliche Workflow qualitativen Forschens empirisch beschrieben und dann eruiert, wie sich die Integration von KI in diese herkömmlichen Interpretationsabläufe gestalten könnte. Der Beitrag schließt mit einer Diskussion über die Potenziale und Herausforderungen der Integration von KI in die Lehre rekonstruktiver Methoden.
Der Umgang mit Emotionen in qualitativen Lehrforschungsprojekten
Authors: Gottschalk Ines , Stamann Christoph
Published: December 2023

Im Beitrag wird der Umgang mit Emotionen in der qualitativen Forschung fokussiert. Ausgangspunkt ist die Vorstellung, dass Emotionen integraler Bestandteil qualitativ-hermeneutischer Verstehensprozesse sind, die über Reflexivität zugänglich gemacht werden können. Ziel der Lehre qualitativer Forschung ist unter anderem die Einsozialisation in eine qualitative Weltsicht und Haltung. Lehrforschungsprojekte sind ein geeignetes Veranstaltungsformat sowohl für die Einsozialisation als auch – im Zuge dessen – für die reflexive Erschließung forschungsbezogener Emotionen seitens der Studierenden. In unserem Beitrag unterscheiden und systematisieren wir hierzu forschungsund lehrsettingbezogene in Abgrenzung zu feldbezogenen Anlässen, bei denen Emotionen relevant und herausfordernd werden können. Zugleich betrachten wir Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten und -erfordernisse studentischer Forschungsprozesse hinsichtlich der Sichtbarmachung und reflexiven Bearbeitung von Emotionen. Es werden Anforderungen an Lehrende bei der Gestaltung emotionssensibler Räume sowie für die Reflexion von Emotionen anschlussfähige qualitative Methodologien und Methoden vorgestellt.
Allein auf hoher See

Die Fallbeschreibung wird im Zuge einer Fallreflexion mit Teilnehmenden eines Masterlehrgangs erarbeitet. Um die ersten Assoziationen zum Fallgeschehen, die von Ohnmacht, Hilflosigkeit, Fluchtgedanken und auch von Aggressionen geprägt sind, einordnen zu können, wird der Fokus auf die Kontraktierung des Supervisionsprozesses gelegt. Dabei fällt auf, dass die Organisation mit ihren Strukturen und Verantwortlichkeiten nicht vorkommt. Ausgehend vom Modell der Organisationssupervision wird auf das Arbeitsfeld der Behindertenbetreuung und seine Dynamiken eingegangen. Es wird die Hypothese aufgestellt, dass die Organisation einer Kernaufgabe – der Arbeit mit Angehörigen – nicht in ausreichender Form nachkommt und damit keine haltende Kommunikationsstrukturen zur Verfügung stellt.

The approach to mountain tourism from an institutional position by including this activity in the Education Plan of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, occurred many years ago (since 1965) and due to the impact of this activity on a growing number of people from more diverse categories, it was motivated by the multiplication of options in terms of professional inclusion but also the capitalization of possible educational effects.On the other hand, we believe that we must ask ourselves if the aims of the discipline "Internship in tourism activities" subscribe to the components of the instructional-educational process specific to the higher education of physical education and sports. The attempt to give an answer to this question represented the foundation of this study.

Mathematical relations are presented for estimation of the hydrodynamic instability in aqueous media under microwave radiation in a wide frequency range. On the basis of the obtained theoretical relationships and our experimental results, a hypothesis for the correction of the intracellular movement of the aqueous medium using low-intensity microwave radiation is proposed. The hypothesis is based on the latest literature data on the registration of cytosol convection in animal cells using new precision fluorescent methods.

The structure of the region of complete synchronization of a system of three connected Josephson junctions, non-identical in critical currents, was studied by the method of bifurcation analysis. On the plane of non-identity parameters, lines of saddle-node bifurcations, Neumark-Sacker bifurcations and period doublings were found, corresponding to a typical synchronization region. The influence of symmetry on the structure of the region of complete synchronization has been studied. In the system, under certain conditions, pitchfork bifurcation and associated bistability are possible. Bogdanov-Takens points, cusp points and fold-flip points are also indicated. The accumulation of points of the latter type is discussed based on cycles of doubling periods near the boundary of the synchronization and chaos regions.
Experimental Investigation into the Impact of Natural Gas-Diesel Mixture on Exhaust Emissions and Engine Performance in a Heavy-Duty Diesel Engine with Six Cylinders
Authors: KÜL Volkan Sabri , AKANSU S. Orhan
Published: December 2023

In this study, experiments were conducted with a mixture of pure diesel and natural gas. In the experiments, a 6-cylinder heavy-duty diesel engine with an engine displacement of 11,670 cc was used and the engine speed was kept constant at 660 rpm. At 660 rpm engine speed, the maximum torque value reached was 386 Nm. The 386 Nm torque value was accepted as 100% and experiments were carried out at torque ratios of 25, 50, 75 and 100%. In all experiments with natural gas mixture, natural gas was delivered to the combustion chamber at a pressure of 1.5 bar and a flow rate of 1.29 g/sec, pre-mixed with air from the intake manifold. The aim of this study is to investigate the combustion characteristics of pure diesel and natural gas mixtures in a heavy-duty diesel engine. According to the test results, the BTE value of natural gas - diesel blended fuel decreased by 157, 89, 53, 53 and 28% at 25, 50, 75, 100 torque values, respectively, compared to pure diesel. It was observed that at low torque values, natural gas - diesel blended fuel was very inefficient, but as the torque value increased, there were improvements in the BTE value of natural gas - diesel blended fuel, although it could not reach the BTE value of pure diesel. In the experiments with pure diesel, it was determined that the fuel consumption was 127, 68, 38, 17% less than the natural gas - diesel blended fuel at torque values of 25, 50, 75, 100%, respectively. The most significant change in exhaust emissions was observed in CO and UHC emissions. At maximum load, CO and UHC emissions were found to be 4.42 and 4.5 g/kWh for pure diesel and 19.9 and 11.9 g/kWh for natural gas blend, respectively.

Published: December 2023

Today, the service of Voice over Internet Protocol or (VoIP) is one of the most used service around the globe in many fields, especially with video conferencing applications. Different applications and also many communications companies around the world use the VoIP service. Communication stakeholders aim to keep old customers happy and attract new customers. There was a need for some kind of service quality measures. Metrics are used to quantify the quality of transmission link are known Quality of Service (QoS). Whereas, user satisfaction level is identified by using Quality of Experience (QoE). This paper conducted a simulation model for VoIP service over heterogeneous, using OPNET modeler. This work aims to compare the user satisfaction level of the VoIP service by using different coding schemes in the application level of the User Equipment (UE). The measured QoS parameters over the heterogeneous transmission link were IP packet delay, IP Packet jitter, IP packet loss, MAC layer delay, PHY layer throughput in the network. Additionally, in this simulation model the use of E-Model to assess QoE level using Mean Opinion Score (MOS) metric in predicting the VoIP call quality. The results using the vocoder G.729A during the (30) sec of the voice call simulation time were as follows: Delay 0.57 mSec, Throughput of 290 Kbits/sec, Jitter of 0.02 uSec, MOS value of 3.76. The results using the vocoder G.711 during the same aforementioned time were as follows: Delay 0.25 mSec, Throughput of 70 Kbits/sec, Jitter of 0 Sec), MOS value of 3.08.
Enclaves of Isolation: Violence and Political Participation in U.S. Cities
Authors: Jones Rebekah
Published: December 2023

Does residential proximity to violence mobilize or depress individuals for political action?While many ethnographic studies have shed light on the various forms of social isolation that characterize high-violence American urban neighborhoods, the democratic implications of proximate exposure to violence have not been well understood. Merging voter files in U.S. cities and geocoded crime data, I test whether living in close proximity to sites of homicides affects ones likelihood of voting in federal elections. Employing a regression discontinuity in time (RDiT) design, I provide evidence that close residential proximity to homicide depresses turnout by roughly four to six percentage points, with the strongest results being in majority black block groups with a black victim. In further mechanism tests, I analyze 1) foot-traffic data aggregated by census block groups to examine how violent exposure affects population movement and 2) crime-linked survey data. Together, the analyses provide significant evidence that the unequal psychological burden of fear, shaped by an individual’s perception of their risk of victimization, may drive observed effects. Generally, I consider how persistently high and geographically concentrated rates of lethal violence in the United States shape patterns of political participation in race-class subjugated communities and democratic health more broadly.
Cross-Lagged Panel Models for Studying Psychopathology: A Comparative Overview of Structural Equation and Panel Network Approaches
Authors: Freichel René , Veer Ilya , Wiers Reinout , McNally Richard J. , Epskamp Sacha
Published: December 2023

Researchers have increasingly adopted complex methodological approaches to investigate the co-development of symptoms over longer time frames, such as months and years. Panel studies assess a large group of individuals at multiple time points over an extended period. Various analytical approaches exist for examining the co-development of variables in panel data, yet a comprehensive overview is lacking. This study provides a detailed review and application of four key analytical approaches for examining cross-lagged associations in panel data. The four approaches include two Structural Equation Models (SEM): the Cross- Lagged Panel Model (CLPM) and the Random-Intercept Cross-Lagged Panel Model (RI- CLPM), along with two network model adaptations: Cross-Lagged Panel Network analysis (CLPN) and Panel Graphical Vector Autoregression Model (GVAR). We describe each method’s distinct characteristics, advantages, and limitations. To illustrate these, we applied these models to a panel dataset of adolescents and young adults (NSPN 2400 cohort study), examining the relationships between impulsivity and symptoms of depression and anxiety. Results showed varying temporal associations, highlighting the importance of model selection based on research objectives and data characteristics. A simulation study demonstrated that models separating within- and between-person effects (panel GVAR, RI- CLPM) reproduced true within-person temporal effects more accurately. Our review highlights the value of using multiple approaches in multiverse analyses to assess the sensitivity of findings to different analytical methods. Ultimately, the choice of analytical method greatly influences how dynamic cross-lagged processes in developmental psychopathology are interpreted, affecting the development and refinement of relevant clinical theories.
Image Captioning in Nepali Using CNN and Transformer Decoder
Authors: Budhathoki Rabin , Timilsina Suresh
Published: December 2023

Image captioning has attracted huge attention from deep learning researchers. This approach combines image and text-based deep learning techniques to create the written descriptions of images automatically. There has been limited research on image captioning using the Nepali language, with most studies focusing on English datasets. Therefore, there are no publicly available datasets in the Nepali language. Most previous works are based on the RNN-CNN approach, which produces inferior results compared to image captioning using the Transformer model. Similarly, using the BLEU score as the only evaluation metric cannot justify the quality of the produced captions. To address this gap, in this research work, the well-known “Flickr8k” English data set is translated into Nepali language and then manually corrected to ensure accurate translations. The conventional Transformer is comprised of encoder and decoder modules. Both modules contain a multi-head attention mechanism. This makes the model complex and computationally expensive. Hence, we propose a noble approach where the encoder module of the Transformer is completely removed and only the decoder part of the Transformer is used, in conjunction with CNN, which acts as a feature extractor. The image features are extracted using the MobileNetV3 Large while the Transformer decoder processes these feature vectors and the input text sequence to generate appropriate captions. The system's effectiveness is measured using metrics to judge the caliber and precision of the generated captions, such as the BLEU and Meteor scores.

Published: December 2023

Context: Previous reviews of care planning (CP) interventions in care homes focus on higher quality research methodologies and exclusively consider advanced care planning (ACP), thereby excluding many intervention-based studies that could inform current practice. CP is concerned with residents’ current circumstances while ACP focuses on expressing preferences which relate to future care decisions.
Objectives: To identify, map and summarise studies reporting CP interventions for older people in care homes.
Methods: Seven electronic databases were searched from 1 January 2012 until 1 January 2022. Studies of CP interventions, targeted at older people (>60 years), whose primary place of residence was a care home, were eligible for inclusion. Two reviewers independently screened the titles and abstracts of 3778 articles. Following a full-text review of 404 articles, data from 112 eligible articles were extracted using a predefined data extraction form.
Findings: Studies were conducted in 25 countries and the majority of studies took place in the United States, Australia and the UK. Most interventions occurred within nursing homes (61%, 68/112). More than 90% of interventions (93%, 104/112) targeted staff, and training was the most common focus (80%, 83/104), although only one included training for ancillary staff (such as cleaners and caterers). Only a third of the studies (35%, 39/112) involved family and friends, and 62% (69/112) described interventions to improve CP practices through multiple means.
Limitations: Only papers written in English were included, so potentially relevant studies may have been omitted.
Implications: Two groups of people – ancillary workers and family and friends – who could play a valuable role in CP were often not included in CP interventions. These oversights should be addressed in future research.

Наведені результати дослідження тканини сім’яників 128 лабораторних щурів, які отримували з питною водою порогові концентрації солей міді, цинку, заліза, марганцю, свинцю, хрому. Встановлено, що морфологічні зміни мікроциркуляторного русла неспецифічні і призводять до вторинного ушкодження гематотестикулярного бар’єра та корелюють із змінами паренхіматозних структур сім’яників. Найбільш виражені ушкодження тестикулярної паренхіми спостерігаються в місцях інтенсивного кровопостачання, оскільки токсичні субстанції в цих ділянках мають більший час експозиції. В умовах впливу сполук важких металів редукція судинного русла в сім’яниках відбувається під впливом внутрішньосудинних, внутрішньостінкових та позасудинних факторів. Вираженість порушень судинного русла та паренхіми залози прямо залежить від тривалості впливу комбінації солей важких металів. Застосування коректору на фоні інтоксикації солями важких металів частково зменшує несприятливі зміни мікроциркуляторного русла та тестикулярної паренхіми сім’яників щурів.
Formy przemocy seksualnej w orzecznictwie międzynarodowych trybunałów karnych ad hoc
Authors: Domagała Arkadiusz
Published: December 2023

Identyfikacja i zdefiniowanie we współczesnym prawie międzynarodowym form przemocy seksualnej –zgwałcenia, niewolnictwa seksualnego, wymuszonej prostytucji, wymuszonej ciąży i wymuszonej sterylizacji – to skutek wieloletnich wysiłków społeczności międzynarodowej zmierzającej do skutecznego ścigania i karania sprawców przemocy seksualnej w konfliktach zbrojnych. Kluczowym etapem owego procesu było funkcjonowanie trybunałów karnych powołanych w celu ukarania zbrodni popełnionych w trakcie konfliktu w byłej Jugosławii (1991–1995) oraz w Rwandzie (1994 r.). W wyniku prac Międzynarodowego Trybunału Karnego dla byłej Jugosławii (MTKJ) i Międzynarodowego Trybunału Karnego dla Rwandy (MTKR) doszło do wypracowania nowych w sensie prawnym form przemocy seksualnej (niewolnictwa seksualnego i wymuszonej ciąży), a także obowiązującej do dziś formuły definicyjnej zgwałcenia. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest wskazanie na główne elementy procesu identyfikacji i definiowania form przemocy seksualnej w MTKJ i MTKR, kluczowe dla powyższego procesu postępowania toczące się przed trybunałami karnymi ad hoc, jak i prześwietlenie praktyki orzeczniczej trybunałów karnych ad hoc pod kątem wskazanych form przemocy seksualnej. Analizie form przemocy seksualnej od momentu zakończenia II wojny światowej do czasów funkcjonowania MTKJ i MTKR towarzyszy koncepcja autonomizacji form przemocy seksualnej, która na użytek niniejszego artykułu rozumiana jest jako proces wyodrębniania zarówno przemocy seksualnej, jak i jej form przemocy seksualnej od innych, ogólniejszych zbrodni prawa międzynarodowego.

Mobile Poultry Slaughterhouse Halal (MPSH) is a mobile facility designed to carry out the process of slaughtering chickens in accordance with halal principles in the Islamic religion. Making a prototype of this tool aims to test the functionality of a system or product. The machine development designed in this research uses a drive (transmission) as a combination of pulley and v-belt. The reason for using a drive system as a pulley and v-belt is that it feels easier and more efficient in the work process. This research aims to analyze the calculation of pulley and v-belt sizes suitable for the plucker machine that was developed. This research uses an experimental design method, namely carrying out measurements, observations, and calculations of the technical specifications of the machine, then analyzing the data to obtain an idea of the machine's performance, which ultimately can provide an idea of the suitability of the machine. The research results obtained: (1) pulley sizes 100 mm and 175 mm in diameter, made from ST37 steel. (2) Required v-belt length = 1,253.95 mm. (3) V-belt axis distance = 426.25 mm. (4) The circumferential speed of the driving pulley vP = 10.99 m/s. (5) The circumferential force that arises Frate = 111.37 N. (6) The number of belts used is 1 belt.
The Interplay Between Cholesterol and Amyloid-β on HT22 Cell Viability, Morphology, and Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Signaling
Authors: Robinson Morgan J. , Newbury Sean , Singh Kartar , Leonenko Zoya , Beazely Michael A.
Published: December 2023

Background: There is a lack of understanding in the molecular and cellular mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease that has hindered progress on therapeutic development. The focus has been on targeting toxic amyloid-β (Aβ) pathology, but these therapeutics have generally failed in clinical trials. Aβ is an aggregation-prone protein that has been shown to disrupt cell membrane structure in molecular biophysics studies and interfere with membrane receptor signaling in cell and animal studies. Whether the lipid membrane or specific receptors are the primary target of attack has not been determined. Objective: This work elucidates some of the interplay between membrane cholesterol and Aβ42 on HT22 neuronal cell viability, morphology, and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) signaling pathways. Methods: The effects of cholesterol depletion by methyl-β-cyclodextrin followed by treatment with Aβ and/or PDGF-AA were assessed by MTT cell viability assays, western blot, optical and AFM microscopy. Results: Cell viability studies show that cholesterol depletion was mildly protective against Aβ toxicity. Together cholesterol reduction and Aβ42 treatment compounded the disruption of the PDGFα receptor activation. Phase contrast optical microscopy and live cell atomic force microscopy imaging revealed that cytotoxic levels of Aβ42 caused morphological changes including cell membrane damage, cytoskeletal disruption, and impaired cell adhesion; cell damage was ameliorated by cellular cholesterol depletion. Conclusions: Cholesterol depletion impacted the effects of Aβ42 on HT22 cell viability, morphology, and receptor tyrosine kinase signaling.

Published: December 2023

Background: The APOE genotype has emerged as the major genetic factor for AD but differs among different alleles. Objective: To investigate the discrepant effects of APOE genotype on AD cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers. Methods: A total of 989 non-demented ADNI participants were included. The associations of APOE ɛ2 and APOE ɛ4 with CSF biomarkers were investigated using linear regression models. Interaction and subgroup analyses were used to investigate the effects of sex and age on these associations. Furthermore, we used mediation analyses to assess whether Aβ mediated the associations between APOE genotypes and tau. Results: APOE ɛ2 carriers only showed higher Aβ levels (β [95% CI] = 0.07 [0.01, 0.13], p = 0.026). Conversely, APOE ɛ4 carriers exhibited lower Aβ concentration (β [95% CI] = –0.27 [–0.31, –0.24], p < 0.001), higher t-Tau (β [95% CI] = 0.25 [0.08, 0.18], p < 0.001) and higher p-Tau (β [95% CI] = 0.31 [0.25, 0.37], p < 0.001). Subgroup analysis showed that APOE ɛ2 was significantly positively associated with Aβ only in females (β [95% CI] = 0.12 [0.04, 0.21], p = 0.005) and older people (β [95% CI] = 0.06 [0.001, 0.12], p = 0.048). But the effects of APOE ɛ4 were independent of gender and age. Besides, the associations of APOE ɛ4 with t-Tau and p-Tau were both mediated by baseline Aβ. Conclusions: Our data suggested that APOE ɛ2 could promote Aβ clearance, while the process could be modified by sex and age. However, APOE ɛ4 might cause the accumulation of Aβ and tau pathology independent of sex and age.

Published: December 2023

While research shows that investment in sports has started shifting from the North to South and West to East, it has been observed that the latter has been more active than the former as far as sports-related activity is concerned. This is especially the case with popular sports such as football where Middle East investments have been active from outright team purchases (e.g., Manchester City and Paris Saint Germain), stadium naming rights (Etihad Stadium and Emirates Stadium), sponsorships (FC Barcelona/Qatar Airways), and the prized hosting of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. In all these, however, the regions have had very limited, if any, impact in terms accredited officialdom. This study highlights this a potential area for research with implications for Sports Management in particular, and Business & Management more broadly.

Let \(G\) be a group and \(\omega(G)\) be the set of element orders of \(G\). Let \(k\in \omega(G)\), \(s_{k}=|\{g\in G|o(g)=k\}|\) and \(nse(G)=\{s_{k}|k\in \omega(G) \}\). In this paper, we prove that if \(G\) is a group and \(O_{7} (3)\) is the Orthogonal simple group over \(GF(3)\) such that \(nse(G)=nse(O_{7} (3))\), then \(G\cong O_{7} (3)\).
