Cluster sampling MUSA methodology for user satisfaction analysis of an educational distance-learning platform
Authors: Manikaros Nikolaos , Avgerinos Evgenios
Published: July 2023

The subject of this paper is to provide a robust user satisfaction evaluation of an educational distance-learning platform with the use of multicriteria satisfaction analysis (MUSA), an innovative and consistent decision-making algorithm, which leads to analytical satisfaction charts and improvement action charts. The educational platform evaluated is Moodle. MUSA algorithm criteria used for the purposes of the present analysis are: (1) technical dimension, (2) possibilities of teachers, (3) possibilities of participants, (4) pedagogical dimension, and (5) automated functions. The originality of this re-search is the fact that MUSA algorithms criteria weights are calculated both for the total number of participants in the present study and for smaller sample subgroups, which represent various levels of satisfaction (above average grade represents overall satisfied users and below average grade represents overall dissatisfied users), age, gender and identity (teachers or university students). The selected cluster sampling leads to differentiated criteria weights and action diagram in MUSA algorithm. The selected methodology is a crucial step for the optimization of the existing user satisfaction algorithm and leads to more robust and valid results. As a result, the modified method is called cluster sampling MUSA algorithm (CSMUSA) and leads to an enhanced decision-making procedure, which is considered fundamental for the constant improvement of any educational platform and software and could be implemented by software companies during the design process.

Authors: Pineda Rodríguez Nidia Katherin , Cardozo Castañeda Nathalia , Cárdenas Ruiz Juan David
Published: July 2023

Esta investigación analiza si las publicaciones en Twitter y TikTok de los candidatos a la presidencia por las coaliciones en las elecciones de 2022 en Colombia dieron preponderancia a temas con enfoque negativo durante su periodo de campaña electoral, y si sus publicaciones utilizaron estrategias de campaña negativa en el periodo del 1 de enero al 13 de marzo. La investigación, realizada con una metodología cuantitativa, demuestra que las publicaciones, en su mayoría, no tienen una orientación negativa, y que quienes generan conflicto en las redes sociales son los usuarios que toman las publicaciones de los candidatos y las interpretan de formas no correctas.

Published: July 2023

La socioafectividad se erige como solución a la falta de regulación en los casos en que existe un vínculo filial basado en los afectos. En Chile esta institución se manifiesta a través de la adopción y en la acreditación de la posesión notoria en las acciones de impugnación y reclamación de filiación que conduce a la modificación del estatus filiativo, pero no existe regulación expresa que la reconozca. El presente artículo resalta la relevancia de la socioafectividad en el resultado de las acciones de filiación fundadas en la posesión notoria de la calidad de hijo, definiendo sus contornos, evidenciando la insuficiencia normativa y distinguiéndolo de la adopción. Se recurrirá al análisis de la normativa vigente sobre la materia, revisión de doctrina y tendencia jurisprudencial chilena y se considerará el examen del tratamiento de la institución por otras legislaciones afines con nuestra tradición jurídica.

The Ramifications in Implementing the U.S.-Style Discovery System To Enhance Evidence-Gathering in Korea
Authors:   Korean Association Of The Law Of Civil Procedure, Kong Young Ho
Published: July 2023

The Korean judiciary has been subject to heavy criticism due to the insufficiency of fact-findings at trial. Such lack of fact-findings has been attributed to several factors. First, there is no strong mechanism for evidence- gathering at trial proceedings which tend to bog down with a series of long and ineffective exchange of documents between the parties. Secondly, fact-findings are allowed at appellate courts in Korea so that litigants expect to continue fact-gathering at appellate level, without committing to the complete fact-finding at trial courts. There has been significant debate surrounding the necessity of addressing the issues pertaining to the trial procedures in Korea—especially on the fact-gathering system. As one of the most effective ways to do so, the U.S.-style discovery system has been considered. There are particular features of the U.S. discovery system that the Korean judiciary and the bar have shown a strong inclination towards adopting: party-initiated evidence gathering; prescheduled discovery and trial dates; and mandatory initial disclosures.
However, in order to successfully adopt the U.S.-style discovery system, gaining an understanding of the drawbacks of the U.S. discovery is imperative —adversarial and competitive lawyering in discovery; insufficient judicial roles; problems of mandatory initial disclosure and notice-pleading; and abusive use of discovery. In addition to the analysis of the above problems, this article also discusses the lessons that the Korean judiciary and bar should learn from the American experience before adopting the discovery system. Lastly, it makes several proposals for the Korean judicial reform that can contribute to the successful implementation of the new discovery system.
The Effect of the Decision to Recommend a Settlement Stating that ‘the Plaintiff withdraws the Lawsuit and the Defendant Agrees Thereto’
Authors:   Korean Association Of The Law Of Civil Procedure, MOON YOUNGHWA
Published: July 2023

This article raises questions about the judgment of the Supreme Court 2018 Da 230229 sentenced on July 29, 2021, which held that the decision to recommend a settlement that ‘the plaintiff withdraws the lawsuit and the defendant agrees thereto’ has the same effect as the withdrawal of the lawsuit and reviews the essence of the decision of recommendation for settlement through the legislative intent and comparative legal analysis.
Considering the legislative purpose of the decision of recommendation for settlement and the similar systems in Japan and Germany, the decision cannot be regarded as a special type of judgment.
The purpose of the decision of recommendation for settlement is to settle disputes amicably between the parties by giving authority and credibility to the court's recommendation for reconciliation, and the basic framework is that it takes effect only when the parties do not file an objection, and its effect is the same as that of a settlement in litigation. The decision of recommendation for settlement is substantially the same as the court's presentation of a settlement clause or a compromise proposal. Therefore, the content of the decision of recommendation for settlement should be the same as that of a settlement in litigation.
When the subject of litigation itself is a matter requiring a legal relationship to be formed through judgment, the parties cannot freely dispose of the subject, and, therefore, a decision of recommendation for settlement is not permitted. The requirements for litigation are matters related to public interests, not private interests, and should be investigated ex officio. They do not fall under matters that the parties can freely dispose of, so a decision of recommendation for settlement is also not permitted.
An agreement between the parties only to terminate the lawsuit is only a withdrawal of the lawsuit and its consent, but it does not fall under the settlement of the lawsuit, and it should be treated as a withdrawal of the lawsuit according to the intention of the parties. The decision to recommend a settlement stating that ‘the plaintiff withdraws the lawsuit and the defendant agrees thereto’ should also be regarded as illegal and ineffective.
An arbitrary decision of recommendation for settlement which only aims to resolve disputes expeditiously must be avoided.
The Provisional Remedies in the Family Litigation Act
Authors:   Korean Association Of The Law Of Civil Procedure, Kim Won-tae
Published: July 2023

In family cases, it generally takes long time for a judgment to be confirmed or for family mediation to take effect. The Family Litigation Act thus provides the preliminary order, provisional attachment, and provisional injunction systems in family litigation, family non-litigation, and family mediation to preserve the satisfaction of a latent judgment(or mediation). They are collectively called the Provisional Remedies.
There are overlapping parts between the preliminary order systems and the provisional attachment and injunction system, but there are essential differences between them in requirements for application and hearing, which raises a need to review them according to the nature of a family case. This study set out to examine the unique nature and procedure of preliminary order, provisional attachment and injunction under the Family Litigation Act, and the major content of the revised bill by including the content of the revised bill as well as the current Act in its scope.
The current Act has an issue of no effectiveness since preliminary order had no ability to be enforced even in the case of a strong need for emergency order. The revised bill adds a provision to grant power of execution to preliminary order. This issue must be solved fundamentally by a fast legislative measure. Caution should be taken not to postpone the issue of preliminary order as the future hearing practice of preliminary order places importance on the probability of citing the original bill(preserved right) for the reason of preliminary order's power of execution. The hearing of preliminary order should focus on the need for preservation.
Both the current Act and its revised bill have no substantive enactment to allow a appeal against a decision to dismiss or reject a preliminary order application. The revised bill needs to be revised to include substantive enactment to allow the applicant to file an immediate appeal.
Scope of Requests and Related Issues in Representative Suits by Shareholder: Focusing on the Supreme Court 2021. 7. 15. Sentence 2018da298744
Authors:   Korean Association Of The Law Of Civil Procedure, CHON HUY JAE
Published: July 2023

In Article 403 of the Commercial Act, a claim for damages against a director is requested by a shareholder to the company prior to the filing of a representative suit. If the company that received the shareholder's request does not file an action for prosecution against the director within 30 days, the shareholder who requested may immediately file a shareholder representative action. Therefore, the content of the request is closely related to the cause of the claim in the shareholder representative suit.
In this regard, if the cause of the claim is formed with different contents from the request, or if such a claim is combined with the existing claim, it is questionable to what extent the cause of the claim, which is different from the content of the request, will be considered legitimate.
In the target judgment, if “the cause of liability is the same but only the legal evaluation is different,” the cause of the claim for representative litigation different from the claim for request was considered legitimate. Given that a request is a requirement for a shareholder representative lawsuit, which is a type of civil lawsuit, or that the main problem is an additional change to another cause not indicated in the request, it is reasonable to take ‘identity of claim basis' in Article 262(1) of the Civil Procedure Act as the criterion for primacy and apply it by analogy.
According to the precedents, if the contents of the request are based on the ‘dispute concerning the same life facts or the same economic interests’, even if the cause of the claim in the representative suit is somewhat different from the description in the request, the claim meets the requirements for filing.
In addition to the above issues, this article also looked at the possibility of remedying the defects, if a shareholder representative lawsuit is filed while the request is defective and the issue of who to designate as the counter party to the request.
Given the high intake of potatoes by the world population, reliable methodologies with very low limits of detection are needed for the determination of highly toxic elements such as arsenic. For that purpose, graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry could be considered one of the techniques of choice; notwithstanding the matrix effect prevented its application in arsenic determination in potatoes as the analytical signal was absolutely depleted. The potential interferent was searched among the mineral content. As a result, it was found that the interference presumably could be attributed to phosphate. Attempts to overcome the matrix interference by different sample digestion methodologies, chemical modification and temperature variation in the graphite furnace ashing and ashing / atomization stage respectively, were unsuccessful. Consequently, an alternative methodology for determining arsenic in potatoes using hydride generation microwave induced plasma optical emission spectrometry was developed. Limit of detection was 0.0030 mg kg-1 in fresh potatoes. The developed method is a robust, simple and low cost alternative for total arsenic safe monitoring of this highly consumed worldwide vegetable.

Exploring Fairer Post-Growth Grounding by Coupling Social Economy with Cultural and Creative Industry
Authors: Babović Dunja , Santo Milica Kočović De
Published: July 2023

This article aims to explore and provide a possible theoretic framework and practical direction, toward the needed transformation in the sphere of cultural development. The central hypothesis is that a social and solidarity economy, i.e., social entrepreneurship is a more suitable framework, than a traditional neoclassical (profitable-oriented economy) for the future desired development of the cultural and cre-ative sector. By understanding the common grounding, “beyond the profit orientation”, social economy offers a more suitable path to deal with the specific market spheres of culture. Crossings of theoretical and empirical findings enabled us to bring the conclusions of the existing practices, and actors, through a deeper understanding of CCI development. According to the existing practices, we can conclude that practical creative entrepreneurship in the Belgrade design district is socially responsible and sustainable, started and led by creativity, innovation, and experimental work, while simultaneously contributing to socially important issues.
Dialectisms and archaisms in the hunting vocabulary of the Yakut language (based on the material of G. F. Sivtsev’s “A Short Dictionary of the Yakut Language”)
Authors: Borisova Yuliya Mikhailovna , Skryabina Alevtina Afanasievna
Published: July 2023

The aim of the research is to identify the dialect features and archaisms of the hunting vocabulary of the Yakut language. The paper analyzes dialectisms and archaisms in the hunting vocabulary of the Yakut language found in Gavriil Fedotovich Sivtsev’s “A Short Dictionary of the Yakut Language”. The research is novel in that it is the first in Yakut studies to identify archaisms and variants of dialects of terminological vocabulary involving the material of G. F. Sivtsev’s “A Short Dictionary of the Yakut Language”. In total, 15 dialectisms and 9 archaisms were analyzed. As a result, it has been determined that the literary word куобах ‘hare’ has the most dialect variants, which is explained by its wide area of distribution. Some names related to hunting in the modern Yakut language are used in other meanings, mainly figurative ones. Most of the names considered have a common Turkic origin and a Yakut origin, however, there are a small number of borrowed words from Russian, Mongolian and Evenki. Hunting-related dialectisms and archaisms recorded in this dictionary can serve as a valuable resource for extending the terminological vocabulary of the Yakut language.
Ayşe Şasa’s Turkish dystopia
Authors: Repenkova Mariya Mihaylovna
Published: July 2023

The research aims to substantiate that “The Ape Novel” (Şebek Romanı, 2004) by the famous modern Turkish writer A. Şasa belongs to the genre of dystopia, which is new for the national literature, from the perspective of poetological features. The paper analyses the plot-compositional features of the novel with an emphasis on its system of images and chronotope. It is being proved that the highly scientific and technological civilisation of the future Earth is spiritless. Its inhabitants are animals and their deeds are devoid of morality and love for their kind. Therefore, the images of great apes come to the fore in the novel, among which the action develops in the work. The characters are trying to preserve human qualities in themselves, in which belief in God is of great help. Man’s attempt to remain faithful to moral principles in a closed geographical space is one of the typological properties of a dystopian novel. The scientific originality of the research lies in the fact that A. Şasa’s creative work, considered in this aspect, for the first time becomes the object of analysis in Turkological literary studies in Russia. As a result, it has been proved that the poetics of A. Şasa’s novel fits into the fantastic genre of dystopia.
Character type of a fool as a cultural phenomenon in German jokes
Authors: Shcherbina Sergei Juryevich
Published: July 2023

The aim of the research is to elicit the means of explication of the cultural component in German jokes. Stupidity is a universal phenomenon, and it is laughed at in many cultures. We can, however, presume that the means of its explication are culture-specific. Cultural peculiarities of jokes can presumably manifest themselves in three different ways: text composition, characters typical of certain social medium, and the use of language means. The academic novelty of the research lies in bringing to light the preferable means of explication of different aspects of culture in jokes about fools. The results of the research show that text composition in jokes is identical in different cultures due to the (supranational) rules of the genre or the type of text. But the character types of a fool in German social community and the way of their language representation are definitely culture-bound. The roles of fools are performed by civil servants, policemen, Frisians, children, all women in general, and blondes in particular. As to the language, the cultural peculiarities are conveyed by different naming units (names and realia), dialect, puns, polysemy, homonymy and double actualization (the clash of direct and figurative meanings). Further research can focus attention on scenarios typical of jokes, as well as the problems of translatability with regard to peculiarities of different language systems.
The communicative category of reliability in the oral popular science discourse
Authors: Mochalova Daria Anatolyevna , Evtushenko Tatiana Gennadievna
Published: July 2023

The paper examines the peculiarities of the implementation of the communicative category of reliability in the oral popular science discourse on the Internet. The communicative category of reliability is studied using the material of lectures posted on the PostNauka educational platform. The features of the video lectures of the PostNauka project are determined, which indicate the need to consider the Russian-language online lecture as a separate genre of popular science discourse. The results of analysing the material under study are described: the markers of problematic reliability used by lecturers to attract the attention of the audience and increase the involvement of the listener in communication are highlighted, in particular, the specifics of the use of lexical means in lecture materials in Russian are examined. The aim of the research is to describe the specifics of the reliability category expression in the text of a popular science video lecture on history. The scientific novelty of the research lies in identifying the means of the reliability category expression in the oral popular science humanities discourse taking into account the lecturer’s choice of the optimal ways of constructing meanings when conveying information to listeners. As a result, it has been found that the transfer of scientific knowledge to a wide audience is characterised by the presence of problematic reliability markers. Such linguistic means include parenthetical words, indefinite pronouns, adjectives and adverbs with evaluative meanings, semantically empty lexemes, as well as lexemes requiring the communicants to have common presuppositions within the same linguistic culture.
German discourse markers in texts of various functional styles
Authors: Serebrova Olesia Felixovna
Published: July 2023

The aim of the study is to determine the functions of German discourse markers in texts of various functional styles. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that the functions of German discourse markers in texts of various functional styles have been described for the first time. As a result, it has been shown that discourse markers are found in the scientific, publicistic, literary and colloquial styles. In the texts of the colloquial style, several functions of discourse markers are manifested: the linking function, which is expressed through the establishment of causal relations and additive relations; the function of signaling the transition to another topic of conversation; the function of mitigating the categoricity of what is being said; the function of explaining what was said earlier. It is quite obvious that discourse markers are involved in the structuring of an oral text. In scientific and publicistic texts, discourse markers serve to structure the information, ensure text coherence and also organize the line of reasoning. In literary texts, discourse markers perform not only the structuring function, but also develop rhetorical relationships in combination with rhetorical means to achieve communicative goals.

Gender inclusion and female participation in STEM courses have always been challenging in a patriarchal country like Pakistan. Women are often underrepresented in engineering fields, as engineering fields are usually considered manly. Female students confront many challenges, be it workplace or educational institutes. Some of the self-perceived and determined challenges are discussed in this study. As determined through this research study, factors affecting female participation are low STEM confidence, Gender disparity, Social and Academic Support, and Learning Environment. Empirical Evidence is collected using a questionnaire with 25 items based on the Likert scale. The dependent variables are STEM Confidence and Learning Environment, whereas the independent variables are Social and Academic Support. Participants included 170 female UG and PG engineering students from 4 universities in Pakistan. Data were collected through the Questionnaire, which included an online survey. Correlation method and statistical test MANOVA were applied, using SPSS 21 to determine the effect of social and academic support on STEM confidence of female students and to find a relationship between the variables. Results indicate a positive correlation between the variables STEM confidence and social and academic Support and Learning environment, whereas a slight correlation has been observed between social Support and LE. MANOVA results indicated a significant effect of Social and Academic Support on the STEM confidence of female students. Empirical Evidence shows that Social and academic support can affect the STEM of female engineering students, and the LE of females can also be affected by social and academic Support.

The tremendous potential of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) appears evident worldwide, including in Bangladesh, where the emphasis is primarily on individual skills development for decent employment. Numerous studies have demonstrated that varying degrees of development of soft skills and hard skills contribute to the strength and capability of human capital. It is well acknowledged that knowledge and technology are rapidly updated in the contemporary world. This study explores how skills development influences sustainable employability through the lens of the Japanese language skills development program in TVET. Moreover, this research aims to study the impact of Japanese language programs in Bangladesh's TVET system on skills development and sustainable employability. It aims to assess how the skills acquired through these programs benefit both the domestic and international job markets related to Japanese language abilities. This research employs a mixed-methods research approach examining the participants’ perceptions and understandings of those TVET students who have enrolled or graduated from the Japanese language program. The research endeavours to conduct a theoretical examination of the human capital development theory and to establish a connection between the Japanese language program and its associated approach, knowledge, and method. By examining the research findings, this study found that the TVETs’ Japanese language program significantly positively impacts individuals’ hard and soft skills development, improving the quality and form of employability, increasing individual wages, and playing a supportable role in achieving the SDG 8 of decent work and economic growth. Several practical initiatives have been recommended to increase this language program’s sustainability in TVET.

Introducción. La intususcepción del apéndice corresponde a su invaginación en el ciego. Existen varias causas, pero la endometriosis ha sido informada pocas veces. Aunque el diagnóstico se debe sospechar clínicamente, por lo general su causa solo se determina en el intraoperatorio, donde se deben tener en cuenta causas oncológicas que requieran una resección amplia.
Caso clínico. Mujer de 21 años que consultó por dolor abdominal agudo generalizado. Se practicó una tomografía computarizada de abdomen, observando una intususcepción del apéndice en el ciego, estriación de la grasa pericecal y adenomegalias. Se realizó laparoscopia diagnóstica encontrando intususcepción casi completa del apéndice cecal, de aspecto neoplásico. Se convirtió a laparotomía para proceder a hemicolectomía derecha, con vaciamiento ganglionar y anastomosis del íleon al colon transverso.
Discusión. La sospecha clínica de intususcepción debe corroborarse mediante ecografía, tomografía o estudios baritados. El tratamiento siempre es quirúrgico, como en el caso de nuestra paciente, quien evolucionó de forma adecuada y continuó asintomática después de un año de seguimiento.
Conclusión. El diagnóstico temprano de la intususcepción permite realizar tratamientos quirúrgicos menos agresivos y disminuye el riesgo de filtración de la anastomosis. Se debe tener en cuenta el diagnóstico de endometriosis como posible causa. Se debe realizar el manejo complementario por parte de ginecología.

Introducción. La evaluación enfocada extendida con ecografía en trauma (E-FAST, extended focused assessment with sonography for trauma) puede realizarse con entrenamiento mínimo y lograr resultados ideales. Su fácil transporte permite usarla en entornos austeros, como el Caribe colombiano, donde muchos centros no disponen de servicio radiológico las 24 horas. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar el rendimiento del uso de E-FAST por residentes de cirugía general de segundo año en la evaluación del trauma en urgencias.
Métodos. Estudio observacional retrospectivo que evaluó el rendimiento diagnóstico de E-FAST con Butterfly IQ, en pacientes con trauma toracoabdominal que acudieron a un centro de referencia del Caribe colombiano, entre noviembre de 2021 y julio de 2022. Se evaluaron sensibilidad, especificidad, valores predictivos positivo y negativo, comparando la descripción de la ecografía con los hallazgos intraoperatorios o imagenología convencional.
Resultados. Se incluyeron un total de 46 pacientes, con una media de edad de 31,2 ± 13,8 años, siendo el 87,4 % (n=39) hombres. El principal mecanismo de trauma fue penetrante (n=32; 69,5 %). Se encontró que el 80,4 % (n=37) de los pacientes tuvo resultado E-FAST positivo, y que, de estos, el 97 % (n=35) tuvo un hallazgo positivo intraoperatorio. Se calculó una sensibilidad de 92,1 %, especificidad de 75 %, valor predictivo positivo de 94,6 % y negativo de 66,6; la razón de verosimilitud positiva fue de 3,68 y la negativa de 0,10.
Conclusión. Los residentes de cirugía general están capacitados para realizar exploraciones E-FAST precisas. El ecógrafo portátil es una herramienta de diagnóstico eficaz para pacientes traumatizados.
LEGAL AND DEFACTO CONTROL IN THE CONTROLLED FOREIGN COMPANIES RULES
Authors: Feketa Iryna
Published: July 2023

The article is devoted to the study of legal and defacto control in the legislation of Ukraine and their correlation with international legal acts, as well as OECD recommendations. The choice of the topic is due to the novelty of the concept of «controlled foreign companies» introduced into the legislation of Ukraine, the lack of law enforcement practice and the need to develop specific theoretical studies in this area. In legal theory, four types of control are distinguished – legal, actual, economic and control in accordance with IFRS; as well as two levels of control – direct and indirect. This article provides a theoretical description of both different control types and control levels in accordance with OECD recommendations as well as establishes their correlation with the existing norms in the legislation of Ukraine. The article presents an analysis of two types of control, which are highlighted by the legislator of Ukraine – legal and defacto, as well as two levels of control – direct and indirect. Legal control over CFC can be exercised directly or indirectly; the defacto control has the signs of an indirect level. Based on the results of the study, a conclusion is made regarding the need to include economic control in the legislation of Ukraine as well as the use of two types of control by the controlling authorities for a correct definition of a foreign legal entity as a controlled foreign company. The purpose of this study is to describe the characteristics and analysis of defacto and legal control in Ukrainian legislation and their correlation with international legal acts and recommendations.
