The Impact of Exchange Rate Fluctuation on Toyota Financial Performance and Its Hedging Strategy
Authors: Pan Guanyu
Published: March 2023

In today's globalised economy, the majority of businesses operate in many nations, utilising foreign exchange for imports and exports to expose them to foreign exchange risk. Every business is more or less affected by foreign exchange risk, which is made up of transaction risk, translation risk, and economic risk. By analyzing Toyota's financial reports and comparing financial data of multiple fiscal years (2018 is the base year), including Toyota's derivatives trading volume, foreign exchange income, exchange rate fluctuations of Japanese yen relative to other major currencies, and the average transaction price of currency trading, this study studied the role of financial derivatives in Toyota's foreign exchange risk management. The research results show that Toyota's derivatives transactions in 2018, including forward foreign exchange future contracts and foreign exchange options, strongly offset the foreign exchange risk caused by the appreciation of the yen against the US dollar and the euro. In addition to the derivatives transactions, Toyota also used other risk management policies to reduce its foreign exchange risk. Although the use of financial derivatives can hedge risks, but it will also bring losses to the enterprise. In today's volatile global business environment, each enterprise must choose the appropriate risk management tools for it.
Whether Use/Mention Is a Valid Distinction in Addressing the Problem of N-Word and The Possibility of Hidden Implicature
Authors: Liang Jiayu
Published: March 2023

This paper focuses on the issue of the n-word, investigating whether there is a justified, proper scenario under which the taboo word can be uttered. Given the word’s negative impact on people’s psychological health, there is a loud call to prohibit it from appearing in TV shows, podcasts, radios, newspapers, and all forms of media. The word should simply never be uttered by anyone who is non-black, under all circumstances and contexts. Based on this situation, thinkers such as Kevin Cokley and John McWhorter try to analyse the problem and give their own theories in explaining and addressing the issue. Their arguments are presented in this paper. McWhorter’s use/mention distinction will be the centre of discussion. The distinction is specified and analysed in the argumentation section to examine whether it is a valid standard in addressing the issue. Opinions of other thinkers and objections to the use/mention distinction are also critically evaluated. The analysis and evaluation of the opinions refute the possibility that there is an implicature in the mention of n-word, which further illustrate the validity of the use/mention distinction. The paper ends by concluding that the use/mention distinction is a valid standard in addressing the issue of the n-word and it is unreasonable to think there are implicatures in the mention of n-word.

Valuation of Biomedical Engineering Industry Under Epidemic: Evidence from Andon Health Company Limited
Authors: Su Pengyu
Published: March 2023

Contemporarily, under the ravages of the epidemic, nucleic acid testing has become one of the most critical preventive means, hence many nucleic acid testing companies develop rapidly in recent years. In the United States, antigen test kits have been the primary means for the past few years. Meanwhile, in the context of China’s gradual liberalization in the future, the test kit will also have a significant market space. This paper selects Andon Health Company Limited as an investigation target to discuss the valuation of the biomedical engineering industry during the epidemic. Based on the industry attributes and the circumstance of the epidemic, this paper concluded that the valuation of Andon Health is not suitable for some traditional value evaluation methods and models. According to the analysis, the valuation method based on the forecast of future cash flow is more suitable for the valuation of biomedical enterprises. Based on to the DCF valuation method, the value of Andon Health in 2022 is predicted to be 11.2 billion CNY. In this case, the current stock market price of the target enterprise is overvalued because of the biomedical enterprises’ characteristics. These results guide further exploration for valuing similar biomedical enterprises.

Published: March 2023

Contemporarily, the Fama-French Five Factors (FF5) model is a well-known asset pricing model, which establishes a model with five fundamental factors of market in order to explain the return of stocks and has an excellent performance in the market. This paper attempts to improve the FF5 factors asset pricing model by introducing the macroeconomic factor of the exchange rate. Primarily, the monthly circulating market value, monthly book market value ratio, monthly profitability, and monthly total asset growth rate of all U.S. stocks are selected. The method in this paper calculates and processes it and obtains the time series of the FF5 basic factor. Afterwards, we use the monthly variation extent of the US dollar index to represent exchange rate changes to improve the model, select 22 representative stocks from U.S. stocks to test. Subsequently, the advantages and disadvantages of the new model are compared with the FF5 model. According to the analysis, the new model has enhanced the ability to interpret the yield of most stocks and greatly enhanced the ability to interpret the stocks of large international companies. These results shed light on guiding further exploration of asset pricing model.

Published: March 2023

According to the Seventh National Population Census Bulletin, China has entered an aging society, "aging" problem is very prominent. In the face of the growing elderly population, society for the "pension" demand is increasing. The survey shows that the proportion of urban residents willing to support the elderly at home has been gradually reduced, and the proportion of community elderly care and elderly care institutions has increased. But the big gap and unbalanced supply of the pension market have become a serious problem, which brings more opportunities and challenges. Now, what we pursue is not only simple "the old has to support, the old has to depend on" more is one kind "the old has to support, raises has the excellence" the retirement pattern. This article is based on the data collected from the "Market Research and Analysis Competition" questionnaire, based on AHP, Maslow's Hierarchy Theory of Demand and Customer Satisfaction Theory combined with SERVQUAL(Service Quality) model, this paper constructs the service evaluation system of elderly care institutions.
Profil Pelajar Pancasila dalam Pendidikan Agama Kristen
Authors: Bessie Esther , Rantung Djoys Anneke , Naibaho Lamhot
Published: March 2023

Abstrak

Pancasila adalah falsafah yang menjadi landasan hidup, berpikir dan berperilaku dalam kehidupan berbangsa dan bernegara di Indonesia. Kelima sila dalam Pancasila mempunyai nilai-nilai luhur yang harus menjadi prinsip dan karakter bangsa; selaras dengan tujuan pendidikan yaitu menjadikan manusia Indonesia manusia Pancasila. Menjadi manusia yang terdidik bukan hanya karena memiliki kemampuan kognitif atau keahlian tertentu tetapi juga memiliki nilai-nilai luhur sebagai kecakapan hidup (life skills). Menteri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan Republik Indonesia telah mencanangkan “Profil Pelajar Pancasila” sesuai Visi dan Misi Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan yang tertuang dalam Permendikbud Nomor 22 Tahun 2020 tentang Rencana Strategis Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan Tahun 2020-2024. Ini menjadi tujuan pembentukan karakter melalui pembiasaan-pembiasaan di sekolah pada jenjang Taman Kanak-Kanak, Sekolah Dasar, Sekolah Menengah, maupun Perguruan Tinggi. Penanaman dan pembentukan karakter sesuai nilai-nilai luhur Pancasila ini selaras dengan Sistem Pendidikan Nasional (Sisdiknas) dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 20 Tahun 2003. Pendidikan Agama Kristen adalah satu dari sejumlah mata pelajaran atau mata kuliah yang harus diterima oleh Pelajar di sekolah maupun Mahasiswa di kampus. Pendidikan Agama Kristen mengajarkan iman Kristen yang berlandaskan pada Wahyu Allah yaitu Alkitab, agar Pelajar maupun Mahasiswa tidak hanya menerima ilmu atau keilmuan keagamaan secara kognitif tetapi juga menjadikan ajaran Alkitab sebagai landasan hidup dan berperilaku secara pribadi. Sekilas terlihat seolah-olah ada dua landasan dengan dua tujuan yang berbeda. Yang menjadi pertanyaan adalah, apakah telah terjadi dikotomi dalam kubuh pendidikan di Indonesia? Apakah Pelajar atau Mahasiswa akan menerima dua landasan yang berbeda? Apakah orang Kristen dapat menjadi manusia Pancasila atau manusia Pancasila dapat menjadi Kristen? Lalu bagaimana seharusnya orang Kristen menyikapi hal ini khususnya dalam pendidikan agama Kristen di sekolah? Penulis melakukan penelitian untuk mendapatkan formula yang tepat tentang kedudukan dan korelasi antara Profil Pelajar Pancasila dengan Pendidikan Agama Kristen dalam pendidikan di era disrupsi saat ini. Ditemukan, bahwa sesungguhnya keduanya tidak saling bertentangan. Sebaliknya, seorang Kristen sejatinya akan hidup sebagai murid Kristus dan pada saat yang sama ia juga akan memiliki dan mengejawantahkan nilai-nilai luhur Pancasila di dalam kehidupannya sehari-hari.

Published: March 2023

Im achämenidischen Persien war eine lanzenförmige Waffe (aršti/arštay) in Gebrauch, die durch eine kugelige Kappe am hinteren Ende der Lanze gekennzeichnet ist, welche aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach als Keule zum Schlagen verwendet wurde. Diese persische aršti/arštay erinnert in dieser Hinsicht an die taiaha-Langkeule der Maori Neuseelands, die ebenfalls an einer Seite eine Spitze zum Zustechen und am gegenüberliegenden Ende einen Schlagteil aufweist. Bei einer Gegenüberstellung der aršti/arštay und der taiaha werden Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede aufgezeigt und besprochen.

Außerdem werden ältere Werke und die in den Baumhoroskopen genutzten Topoi von Druidentum, ›keltischer‹ Naturverbundenheit und homogener ›keltischer‹ Kultur diskutiert.
Anti-Colonial Discourse as Geopolitics :
Authors: LeFevre Alexi
Published: March 2023

Scholars often view anti-colonialism as litle more than moral rhetoric in which former colonised states question the West by employing narratives of historic victimisation and marginalisation. While this moral messaging has shaped aspects of post-colonial foreign policy, anti-colonialism is rarely appreciated as a tool of geopolitical practice. This article applies theories of critical geopolitics to argue that anti-colonialism was and is a unique geopolitical strategy allowing formerly colonized states to re-balance centers of political, economic, and military power from historically colonising states to the colonised states. Importantly, anti-colonialism is a geopolitical alternative to territorially defined, Westphalian concepts such as sovereignty and the anarchic international system of states. India has historically maintained a leading role in elucidating and employing anti-colonialism as a geopolitical framework and this article explores four sub-themes of this framework: autochthonous freedom, Pan-Asianism, non-violence, and non-alignment. Each of these sub-themes is explored by examining the geopolitical discourse of Indian leaders through the lens of critical geopolitics, which argues that geography is not objective fact but contested history. Through these sub-themes, Indian leaders have used anti-colonialism as a geopolitical tool to challenge existing power-territory structures to rebalance global power in favor of the formerly colonized world.

THE EMERGING NEED TO CONTROL FREEDOM OF SPEECH IN REGARDS TO SOCIAL MEDIA
Authors: Agrawal Vanshika , Kapoor Umika
Published: March 2023

The Internet swept the information age for a few decades. It has now become embedded in the lives of many people. The Internet has revolutionized the way people exchange knowledge and interact. Social networking is now one of the most widely used platforms. Computer-mediated communication is a common mode of communication. It has reduced the planet to a global village. Information overload has become the standard as people share information from all corners of the globe. In the majority of countries, the government has some power over what kind of details individual shares. If used in the right way, media can transform the lives of the individual as social media has changed the way we communicate, consume, or share information. As a result, through this we have acquired more knowledge and widened the mindsets of the people; otherwise, it may harm society. Thus, an emerging need to regulate and govern the use of social media platforms arises. Proper social media regulation that does not compromise on the fundamental rights granted by the Indian Constitution is required. Yet, complete freedom should not be permitted; rather, a medium ground of control rather than censorship should be sought. There is a razor-thin border between enjoying one's right and infringing on the rights of others. Using one's right to free speech and expression on social media might result in a violation of one's privacy. In view of the foregoing assertions, the Indian government should protect the right to free expression and expression, as well as the right to privacy. It is now one of the most popular forums for expressing oneself, and it should be respected. Keywords- Social Media, Fundamental rights, human rights, information technology.

Ontogenetic tactics of morphological characteristics of the Betula pendula Roth leaf in the gradient of technogenic soil transformation under changing weather conditions
Authors: Zhuikova Tatyana Valerievna , Popova Anastasia Sergeevna
Published: March 2023

The variety of types of otnogenetic tactics is shown on the example of the structural features of the leaf of Betula pendula Roth growing under conditions of technogenic soil transformation in the Tagil zone of the Middle Urals (Sverdlovsk oblast). It has been established that the leaf structure of this species contains features that are characterized by various types of ontogenetic tactics, both pure and combined. The most represented are convergent-divergent and convergent tactics. The signs that are characterized by different types of tactics in the lower, middle and upper parts of the leaf are revealed. Conducting research during the growing seasons (20162019) with different degrees of favorable weather made it possible to establish that the type of ontogenetic tactics characteristic of individual leaf traits on the technogenic stress gradient can change depending on weather conditions. Such characters include the length of the lateral vein, the angle between the main and lateral veins of the first order, the distance from the tip to the widest part of the leaf, the length of the leaf blade and petiole, the leaf blade index and the leaf index. Along with this, signs were revealed that, in the gradient of technogenic transformation of soils, regardless of the degree of favorable weather, retain the type of tactics: the distance between the ends and bases of the lateral veins, the width of the leaf blade and the width of half of the leaf blade, the distance from the widest part of the leaf to the base.

Published: March 2023

The relevance of the study of fungi of the Russulaceae family is determined by the fact that they play an important role in the life of temperate forest ecosystems as mycorrhizal symbionts of the main forest-forming tree species. In addition, this group of fungi is of great practical importance, as they are edible fungi. Despite this, they are one of the little studied groups of Agaricomycetes. The information about the fungi of the studied family in the conditions of the Russian Federation is limited, and therefore the data on their ecology are contained mainly in foreign literature. The purpose of this work is to study the species composition of fungi of the Russulaceae family and to establish the influence of the main environmental factors on the distribution of this group of fungi on the territory of some forest natural monuments of regional significance (Burchikhinsky slopes, Zasursky blueberry forest, Kichkleysky pine forest with oak, Nikonovsky forest and Floodplain oak forest) in the conditions of the Penza region. The studies were carried out in 20162022 by methods of route and stationary studies. When determining fungi, the method of light microscopy was used. As a result, the species composition of fungi of the Russulaceae family of the studied natural monuments located in the Penza region was studied. Within the studied protected areas, 78 species of fungi of the Russulaceae family were identified. As a result of the taxonomic analysis of mycobiota, it was found that it included 24 species from the genus Lactarius, 3 from the genus Lactifluus, and 51 from the genus Russula. All of them belong to the ecological-trophic group of symbiotrophs. 19 species form mycorrhiza with various tree species, and 59 species have a narrow specialization in relation to partners in symbiosis (29 species are associated with Quercus robur, 15 with Betula pendula, 10 with Pinus sylvestris, 2 with Populus tremula, 1 with Tilia cordata, 1 with Alnus glutinosa and 1 with Corylus avellana). It has been established that the leading factors determining spatial distribution and productivity of fruiting bodies of fungi of the studied family are soil fertility and moisture. In megatrophic habitat conditions, acidity also has a significant effect on the distribution of fungi of the family under consideration. The species composition of fungi of the Russulaceae family for habitat types was determined in accordance with the edaphic grid. For different ecotopes, the composition of indicator species was revealed. An estimate of the yield of fruiting bodies of fungi of the Russulaceae family in various types of forests, depending on fertility and soil moisture, is given.

Tiny leaf-mining jewel beetle Trachys minutus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Coleoptera: Buprestidae: Trachysini), being a species with a wide food specialization and distributed throughout the Palearctic, causes periodic outbreaks in linden plantations. Larvae of tiny leaf-mining jewel beetle mine leaves and feed on their tissues, adults feed on leaves in the crown of trees. Up-to-date information obtained during the monitoring of the T. minutus number from the end of May to the beginning of September 2022 on the territory of the forest park site of the All-Russian Research Institute of Forest Genetics, Breeding and Biotechnology and in squares and street plantings of the Soviet and Central districts of Voronezh is provided. Larvae mine leaves of white willow (Salix alba Crawford, 1914), goat willow (S. caprea Linnaeus, 1753), small-leaved linden (Tilia cordata Miller, 1768), Midland hawthorn (Crataegus laevigata (Poiret) de Candolle (1825)) and common hawthorn (C. monogyna Jacquin, 1775) on the territory of Voronezh. The species is rare in the center, while on the northern city outskirts (on the territory of the forest park site) up to 10% of linden leaves were affected by mines of T. minutus. White willow, goat willow, small-leaved linden, large-leaved linden (T. platiphyllos Scopoli, 1772), Norway maple (Acer platanoides Linnaeus, 1753), European ash (Fraxinus excelsior Linnaeus, 1753) and hawthorn species were noted as fodder plants in the city.

Published: March 2023

The paper presents a multidimensional analysis of pine-birch forest lichens in the vicinity of Big Kyzykul Lake (Minusinsky District, Krasnoyarsk Krai). The studies on the species composition of lichens were conducted from 2013 to 2016. The material was collected in the summer and autumn months by the route method. Based on the authors own collections, the species composition of lichens was determined for the first time, including 46 species from 22 genera and 11 families. The paper presents a list of lichen species of the study area with the indication of the Russian and Latin names, families to which they belong, life forms, ecological groups, the substrate the species grew on as well as the years of collection. The systematic analysis has determined a predominance of the families Parmeliaceae and Cladoniaceae, and genera Cladonia, Hypogymnia, Usnea, Physcia. The analysis of life forms has showed a predominance of bushy (20 species) and leafy (17 species) lichens. The ecological analysis has revealed a predominance of mesophyte lichens (37 species). The substrate analysis has showed a dominance of a group of epiphytes (32 species), which mainly settle on the base, trunks and branches of pine. In total, 4 forophytes have been identified in the study area Pinus sylvestris, Picea abies, Betula pendula, Populus tremula. The forophytes like the Picea abies and the Populus tremula in the vicinity of Big Kyzykul Lake are represented by single young specimens, in this regard, and epiphytic lichens on them are insignificant.

The paper presents the results of the geographical analysis of the dendroflora of Cheboksary. The landscaping system of Cheboksary is represented mainly by woody vegetation, which grows in public areas, in limited-use plantings, as well as along the streets and main highways of Cheboksary. Woody vegetation is represented by 73 species, which, according to the generally accepted systematics of plants, belong to 43 genera and 20 families. The geographical analysis of the dendroflora of Cheboksary is based on archaeological data from various reports. In the dendroflora of Cheboksary, 7 groups of the area have been identified, depending on their natural distribution: 1) aboriginal group, 2) cultural group, 3) hybrid group, 4) North American group, 5) East Asian group, 6) Mediterranean group, 7) European group. The dendroflora of Cheboksary is dominated by introducents, which account for 44 species. The most numerous of the introducers is the East Asian group, which makes up 41% of the total, the North American and European groups 25% each, the Mediterranean group 9%. The geographical composition of the dendroflora, depending on the element of the system of green spaces, showed that the largest number of introducers were identified in public plantings, which were represented by 40 species of trees and shrubs, in limiteduse plantings 29 species, along streets and main roads 28 species. The analysis of the dendroflora by the ratio of hygromorphs has revealed that mesophytes predominate in the dendroflora of Cheboksary 54,7%, xerophytes 17,8%, mesoxerophytes 12,3%.
The shapes of clay vessels of the Srednedonskaya Neolithic culture from site Dobroe 9 on the Upper Don
Authors: Yurkina Elizaveta Sergeevna
Published: March 2023

The paper describes the main types of pottery forms and some results of their analysis for vessels of the Srednedonskaya Neolithic culture from site Dobroe 9. Until recently, only a few settlements of the Srednedonskaya Neolithic culture with a traced stratigraphic position on the Upper Don were studied. At site Dobroe 9, a homogeneous lithological layer was revealed, containing only the materials of this culture: pottery, bones, stone products. At the moment, 109 m of the site were researched by the excavations. We established the date of the pottery collection of the site as the last quarter of the VI millennium BC. Earlier, A.T. Sinyuk put forward the thesis that the cylindrical shape of vessels with a relatively smooth transition of the walls to a sharp bottom is characteristic of the Middle Don culture, but in the collection of site Dobroe 9 closed-type vessels predominate. The comparative analysis of the shapes of ceramic vessels of two settlements with the greatest variety of vessel shapes (site Universitetskaya 3 and site Dobroe 9) of the Srednedonskaya Neolithic culture has shown that its material culture influenced by other archaeological cultures is not particularly homogeneous. This is manifested not only in ceramics, but also in stone tools.

Factors in Becoming an Emotionally Positive English User in University Freshman Classes
Authors: Inada Takako
Published: March 2023

English education in Japan has recently been changing to focus on communication skills. The purpose of this research was to identify how the emotional (foreign language enjoyment and foreign language classroom anxiety) and psychological (motivation and self-confidence) factors might differentially stimulate students’ attainment of higher English proficiency in student-centered communicative lessons. The classes included pair/group work with a point-addition system. A questionnaire was filled in by 108 EFL freshmen. A multiple linear regression analysis was calculated, and the results of the questionnaire exhibited that the students who had stronger motivation, self-confidence, and enjoyment could expect to receive higher TOEIC IP scores. The students' essay reports showed that the point-addition system introduced during the research might be a culprit for increasing the anxiety of even students with high English proficiency. Along with devising ways to lower students' anxiety (e.g. not using a stressful point-addition system), teachers are advised to use teaching methods that promote students’ positive emotions (FLE) that create more self-confidence and motivation through more communicative EFL activities.
Moral Common Sense: Examining the False Consensus Effect of Morality in Japan
Authors: Matsuo Akiko , Kitamura Hideya , Yui Naomi , Kumagaya Shin-ichiro
Published: March 2023

Researchers have continually studied the classical false consensus effect (FCE) and documented its robustness across specific contexts. Under the influence of the FCE, people create an illusory perception of others around them and maintain this perception, believing that own opinion serves as “common sense.” Because shared morality plays an important role in group contexts, people’s (illusory) perceptions about how much their morality is shared should be clarified. Therefore, the present study investigated the presence of the FCE in the domain of morality based on the Moral Foundations Theory (MFT). The pilot study required participants to rank the five moral foundations according to their perceived level of importance and estimate others’ perceived importance of the same five foundations. The Purity foundation of the MFT was not sufficient to identify Japanese values on religion and cleanliness. Thus, the main study supplemented the pilot study with the Purity Orientation–Pollution Avoidance Scale (POPA). The importance given to the moral foundations among participants in the main study was measured using both the Moral Foundations Questionnaire (MFQ) and the POPA. The results from both studies showed that the FCE occurs in the moral domain among Japanese individuals. Furthermore, the use of the POPA in addition to the MFQ can benefit future research on morality in cultures that are not Western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic such as Japan. The present research will contribute significantly to further understanding the role of morality in group contexts.
Emotion Coaching Practice With the Whole School Approach “Emotionally Friendly Kindergarten Transformation Program” Process Analysis
Authors: Kuru Nalan
Published: March 2023

The preschool period must be the starting point for the same attitude among all education stakeholders to achieve sustainable improvement and permanent change. Undoubtedly, a supportive classroom environment with a bond and an emotion-oriented approach contributes to children’s intellectual and personal development. Emotion coaching is a relational behavior management approach that enables people/children to realize the emotions they are experiencing. The whole school approach facilitates the development of a common language between stakeholders. There is a need for studies that address emotion coaching and the whole approach together in early childhood. This study examined stakeholders’ perspectives on implementing the Emotion-Friendly Kindergarten Transformation Program (EFKTP), an emotion coaching program based on a whole school approach. Based on the case study method, the study consists of 34 individuals, including all stakeholders. The data were collected through focus group interviews and semistructured interviews with stakeholders regarding the eight stages of the EFKTP program. Descriptive and content analysis methods were used to evaluate the program’s overall impact. The results suggest that school applications of the program enhance children’s emotional repertoire and behavioral control, home activities enhance communication and relationships between children and their families, and emotion coaching training to stakeholders improves self-efficacy perceptions among teachers and parents.

Bu çalışmamızda bir üniversite hastanesi Fiziksel Tıp ve Rehabilitasyon (FTR) bölümünden istenilen konsültasyonlarda, hastaların demografik özelliklerini, konsültasyon isteyen bölümlerin sıklığını ve konsültasyonu isteme nedenlerini incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmamız Ocak-Aralık 2022 tarihleri arasında bir üniversite hastanesinde yatarak tedavi gören ve diğer klinik dallardan FTR bölümüne yapılan konsültasyonlar üzerinden hastaların kayıtları retrospektif olarak incelenmiştir. FTR kliniğinden 1 ay ile 105 yaşlar arasında bakılan olguların, bayan hasta sayısı 482 (%58,1) ve erkek hasta sayısı 347 (%41,9) olarak gözlemlendi. Kadınların yaş ortalaması 57,43±19 (min:0-maks:105) yıl ve erkeklerin yaş ortalaması 48,31±23 (min:0-maks:92) yıl olup tüm grubun yaş ortalaması 53,62±21 (yıl) olarak tespit edildi. Tüm yaş gruplarında en sık konsültasyon istemi ortopedi bölümünü tarafından yapılmıştır. Pediatrik yaş grubunda ikinci sıklıkta çocuk hastalıkları bölümü konsültasyonu olmuşken diğer iki grupta nöroloji bölümü konsültasyonu ikinci sıklıkta görülmüştür. Günümüzde hastaların tedavisinde multidisipliner yaklaşımın tercih edilmesi nedeniyle çalışmamızda, tüm bölümlerin FTR kliniğiyle iletişim halinde olduğunu, özellikle nörolojik hastalıklar ve kas-iskelet sistemi patolojileri nedeniyle FTR konsültasyonuna ihtiyaç olduğunu göstermektedir. Bundan dolayı FTR uzmanlık eğitimi programları planlanırken hem rehabilitasyonun eğitim ve öğretimi hem de kas-iskelet sistemi hastalıklarının tanı ve tedavisi ile ilgili konulara özel önem verilmelidir.

A rating analysis of some Armenian banks was carried out using the CAMEL method, which is a combination of indicators: Capital Adequacy, Asset Quality, Management, Profit, Liquidity. It is shown that Ameriabank occupies the leading position among the banks studied in terms of CAMEL indicators. The data obtained make it possible to judge the effectiveness of the CAMEL method in rating the functioning of banks. However, the CAMEL method in non-rating assessment can lead to ambiguous interpretations.
Extending Nonstandard Finite Difference Scheme for the SEIR Epidemic Model
Authors: Shagdar Enkh-Amar , Balt Batgerel
Published: March 2023

When constructing a non-standard difference scheme for the differential equations, denominator of the discrete derivative is chosen as the functions depending on step-sizes on the computational grid or lattice. In other existing non-standard finite difference methods for SEIR epidemic model, those denominator functions have the same. The new scheme discussed in this article is characterized by the fact that the corresponding derivatives of the system of ordinary differential equations are replaced by different denominator functions depending on each equation. The proposed method has important property that conversation law. By numerical comparisons are confirmed that the accuracy of new method is better than that of standard and non-standard finite difference schemes(Mickens-type NSFD schemes with the same denominator functions).

Identification of the degradation of birch forests habitats by lichen species
Authors: Enkhtuya Ochirbat , Jaavkhlan Samya
Published: March 2023

A study was conducted to determine the degradation of birch forest habitats by epiphytic lichens. As a result of research in the birch forest at the station Shatan somone Batsumbera of the Central aimag, 17 species of epiphytic lichens from 4 families and 13 genera were registered. The forest point was chosen as an example of a site with a change of primary vegetation type of larch forests from the forest of the steppe area of West Kentei. In terms of the number and diversity of species in point-of-forest studies, the number of species at the edge of the forest has decreased relative to the depth of the forest. In terms of species cover, 75% of the total species cover is Melanelia olivacea (45.8%), Physcia aipolia (18.2) and Evernia mesomorpha (11.5). At the same time we noted that the number of species and their diversity depends on the diameter of the tree trunk and the number of stumps, fallen and rotten trees.

To determine the factors influencing species richness and distribution, a comparison was made between the number of stumps (large amounts of wood harvested in the forest) and the amount of manure residues (used for grazing) in the forest habitat. As a result, it has been established that the most important factor is the manifestation of the «edge effect» in the forest as a human factor. Thus, the decline in lichen species due to the loss of habitat diversity in birch forests indicates а increase in the degradation of birch forest habitats.

Хусан ойн амьдрах орчны доройтлыг хагийн төрөл зүйлээр илэрхийлэх асуудалд(Төв аймаг, Батсүмбэр сум, Шатан өртөө, Өвгөнт уулын ойн жишээн дээр)

Хураангуй: Хусан ойн амьдрах орчны доройтлыг хагийн төрөл зүйлээр тогтоох судалгааг явууллаа. Баруун Хэнтийн тайгархаг шинэсэн ойн ургамалжлын үндсэн хэв шинжид нь өөрчлөлт орсон газар нутгаар сонгосон Төв аймгийн Батсүмбэр сумын Шатан өртөөний Өвгөнт уулын хусан ойд 3 баг, 4 овог, 13 төрлийн 17 зүйл эпифит хаг бүртгэв. Тус ой хагийн зүйлийн тоон болон олон янз байдлын хувьд ойн захад ойн гүнээсээ багасаж, бүрхцийн хувьд нийт зүйлийн бүрхцийн 75%-ийг Melanelia olivacea (45.8%), Physcia aipolia (18.2), Evernia mesomorpha (11.5) гэх цөөн зүйл бүрдүүлсэн онцлогтой. Зүйлийн тоо, тэдгээрийн олон янз байдал модны ишний диаметрын хэмжээ, унанги болон өмх моддын тоон өсөлтөөс хамаарч байна.

Conversion Practices Legislation in Victoria -- A Potential Crisis for Church Authority?
Authors: Martin Rhett
Published: March 2023

The Victorian Change or Suppression (Conversion) Practices Prohibition Act 2021 (Vic) prohibits change and suppression practices that alter or fundamentally change someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity. Whilst the intent of the Act is worthy, the devil is very much in the detail, especially in how the Act includes religious and psychiatric practices and services in its potential ambit. The other contentious issue is the range of powers provided to the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission, which some argue potentially blur the lines on separation of powers between the judiciary and the legislature. This paper argues some amendments to the Act may be required in order to address these issues.
Legislating Gender Prejudice: Religion and the Overturning of Roe v Wade
Authors: MacLeod Rena
Published: March 2023

This paper explores the intersection of religion, gender identity, and gender prejudice within the American context of religious conservatism and the overturning of Roe v Wade. Discussion considers the overturning as a dangerous move that negates the rights and religious liberties of women, with adverse implications also for the rainbow community. Notably, this legislative context depicts the power of conservative Christian ideology to sustain hierarchical gender norms anchored in a binary consciousness, which privileges and empowers men (typically white, elite, heterosexual men), while diminishing and disempowering women and gender-diverse persons as non-normative and subsidiary. Discussion further conveys that this male-centred/androcentric ideology continues the oppressive legacy of male-dominant, fundamentalist biblical interpretation — a mode of interpretation heavily criticised within contemporary mainstream biblical scholarship as flawed and grievous in its promotion of gender prejudice. Accordingly, the overturning of Roe v Wade is relevant to the Australian context, for the same androcentricity and legacy of biblically-justified gender prejudice underpins all Western cultures. That is, manifold people, knowingly or reflexively, religious or otherwise, adhere to this biased interpretation and prejudicial gender consciousness through entrenched psychosocial Western norms. Not least, much scholarship has stressed that the issue of gender bias deeply pervades the structures of Australia’s justice system. Ultimately, this paper emphasises that understanding androcentricity and the legacy of injurious androcentric biblical interpretation is necessary to the tasks of negotiating religious freedom for all persons and cultivating non-sexist social and legal structures that uphold the rights of multiple gender identities and subjectivities.
