In disaster-prone countries, it is of great concern that societies as a whole, as well as households and individuals, should become as resilient to disasters as possible. In Myanmar, with its frequent natural hazards like floods, cyclones and droughts and its high probability of earthquakes, raising awareness of and preparedness for disasters is of eminent importance in order to increase the resilience of society, households and individuals. Disaster research shows that the awareness and perception of people regarding disasters and thus also their risk preparedness can vary substantially. This seems to stem from various sources: the socio-demographic characteristics of households and people as well as former experiences of disaster seem to play a crucial role. Information of such variables and understanding how they influence the disaster risk perception and preparedness of households and people can provide an important background against which to improve individual disaster risk awareness and preparedness – with the final aim of making society, households and individuals more resilient. In this paper, the results of a household survey carried out in eight townships of Yangon (Myanmar) are presented. The analysis investigates how socio-demographic characteristics and the previous experiences of disaster of the respondents and their households influence their disaster risk perception and preparedness in different areas of Yangon City. The results show strong differences in disaster risk perception and preparedness according to socio-demographic characteristics and previous experiences of disaster in different areas of Yangon City. Finally, the findings feed into and inform about successful disaster management.

The form is for shaping and strengthening the emotion of the work, without the form, the emotion will not be able to show.
Is Biology Destiny? The Coherence of Children’s Beliefs About Physical and Psychological Traits
Authors: Combette Léa Tân , Kelemen Deborah
Published: December 2023

In adults, biological causes are commonly associated with immutability, a correlation observed in various contexts, including risky behavior and mental disorders. However, it remains unclear when during their development children coherently connect these ideas in relation to reasoning about physical and mental traits and whether they reason differently by domain. Understanding this is relevant to illuminating children’s theoretical conceptions about the body versus the mind. It can also clarify the extent to which children may fall prey to potentially deleterious assumptions that mental capacities are not only heritable but fixed. Prior work has suggested that a more sophisticated differentiated understanding of psychological traits may begin to emerge around 8-years of age. Building on this, in Study 1a we therefore examined U.S. third graders' reasoning about the inheritance and stability of physical and mental traits and whether their ideas coherently covary within each domain. In Study 1b, we further investigated the robustness of third graders' differentiated understanding of physical and mental traits by exploring whether participating in an early science curriculum that presented simplified information about physical traits affected children's thinking about mental traits. Taken together, results across the two studies reveal that third graders' display robust coherence in their reasoning about the inheritance and stability of traits. Children consistently judged physical traits as more likely to be inherited from parents and less malleable than mental traits, with children’s ideas about heritability and stability showing consistent connections within each domain. Moreover, exposure to early life science teaching about physical traits did not alter children’s perception that mental traits are more influenced by environmental factors, less inherited from parents, and more malleable. By 8- to 9-years of age, children therefore clearly distinguish body from mind in theoretically coherent ways. Nevertheless, the consistent covariance between beliefs about heritability and stability should provoke caution when talking to children about parent-child resemblances in capacities like intelligence lest children infer that their cognitive abilities can not be improved through effort.
The Dark Spirit of the Trickster Archetype in Parapsychology
Authors: Storm Lance
Published: December 2023

In this paper, the phenomenology of the Trickster (its ‘darker’ side) is explored. The archetypal Trickster is shown to manifest as psychosociological aberrations and bizarre physical effects often associated with unique individuals during certain emotionally charged states. Though the Trickster and its many variants have mythological roots, the modern-day equivalent (free, for example, from anthropomorphization) can be seen as an activated psychological proneness to err in thinking when a liminal phase is entered into—that borderland between doubt and certainty. Mainstream academia considers the field of parapsychology to be controversial—it is marginalized because the phenomena it studies (the paranormal) is mostly illusive, usually weak even when proved to be statistically anomalous, and the psi process itself has not been theoretically explained. This state of affairs propagates uncertainty which can trigger ‘tricksterish’ (spurious) interpretations of parapsychological data and findings: Long-term experimenter psi and chronological decline effects are cases in point. Due caution and bias-free analysis of the data and findings may help ameliorate, perhaps even dissolve, the problem of the Trickster.
The PRC’S Military Strategies on the Security Architecture of East and South China Sea under President Xi Jinping
Authors: Lokman Karadag
Published: December 2023

Abstract:

This article analyses the four main military strategies of the People's Republic of China toward the South and East China Seas Security architecture under President Xi Jinping. These strategies of Beijing have been applied mainly to the region, which has been under the US alliance system's security umbrella since the Cold War. The article demonstrates that the People's Republic of China, under the leadership of Xi Jinping, seeks to reorder the regional security architecture to its favour by leveraging military modernization, influence operations, and diplomatic-economic power to push out the US and allies’ countries' influence outside East and South China Seas. This article argues that the successful conclusion of the rising power's strategies over the East and South China seas will translate the current geopolitical rivalry to result in a power transition to the detriment of the rising power.

Keywords: China, Xi Jinping, East China Sea, South China Sea, Power Transition

An Overview of Listed Summer Residences and Villas in Zagreb
Authors: Miščević Mark , Obad Šćitaroci Mladen
Published: December 2023

The goal of the research was to establish a complete overview of summer residences, villas and (family) houses in Zagreb, exclusively on the basis of listing criteria. 60 listed buildings were identified, all located in the northern part of Zagreb, on the southern slopes of Medvednica. The paper provides a review of listed building locations, authors, time of construction, historical stylistic classification, analysis of the pertaining listing documentation and literature review. Summer residences for an occasional stay were built during the 18th and 19th century in secluded hilly locations surrounded by vineyards and orchards. In the 20th century, the construction of summer residences decreased, while the construction of villas for permanent residence begins forming elite residential parts of the city. With a transition from a semi-rural to a semi-urban context, accompanied by the disappearance of the term summer residence and the introduction of the terms villa and (family) house, the stylistic transition from historicism to functionalism and modern architecture is evident. Three main historical-stylistic periods have been recognized and all the researched buildings have been classified accordingly.

On Methods of Financing Climate Projects through PPP and Their Applicability in Russia
Authors: Sternik Sergey
Published: December 2023

The article examines global experiences in financing "green" and climate projects, including those implemented through public-private partnerships. Foreign methods of financing “green” and “climate” projects are revealed and systematized. The study of financing practices by the author shows that the most common model in the world is a mixed financing, which comprises financing through the private and public sectors, including funds, certificates, the sale of carbon units, and financial market funds. It is noted that to improve the quality of communication between project stakeholders, it is advisable to use information platforms. A number of problems are identified that hinder the development of climate projects and their monetization in Russia. Considering international practices, the author suggests that further scientific research be aimed at a reasoned choice of methodological approaches to financing climate projects through PPP in the Russian Federation in the context of new external challenges.

Authors: Chernykh Sergei
Published: December 2023

The article deals with the problems associated with ensuring effective public administration of the scientific sphere through the relevant institutions. In economic theory, the concept of "institution" is interpreted, on the one hand, as a set of legal norms, "rules of the game" that must be observed in a certain area of socio-economic relations, and on the other hand, as government bodies and organizations that perform administrative functions (the object of analysis is mainly institutions of the second type). A critical analysis of the reforms carried out in this area is given. Conclusions are drawn about the necessity and possibility of improving the institutional foundations of the management of Russian science, including those related to the enhancement of the legal status of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Authors: Erniwati Fikih Zulfa , Qurrohman Muhammad Taufiq
Published: December 2023

The dental and oral disease problem faced by the Indonesian population as well as in other developing countries is dental caries tissue disease. Bacteria colonize the oral cavity to produce acid, resulting in a demineralization process in dental caries tissue. Candida albicans is the main agent of oral candidiasis. The development of these two microorganisms interacts with each other to form a layer of biofilm, which is the beginning of caries. Candidiasis is a fungal infection caused by Candida sp., which is the normal microflora in the oral cavity. This study aims to analyze the relationship between tooth brushing habits and the number of Candida sp. in dental caries in children under 10 years of age. This research is an analytic survey with a cross-sectional approach. Based on research on the relationship between brushing teeth and the number of Candida sp. in children under 10 years of age at SDN 01 Petung Bondowoso students, it can be seen that out of a total of 13 respondents (100%) who have poor tooth brushing habits, there are 7 respondents (53.8%) who have a small number of colonies and 6 respondents (46.2%) who have many colonies. Meanwhile, out of a total of 41 respondents (100%) who had the habit of brushing their teeth well, it was found that 41 respondents (100%) had a small number of colonies and none had many colonies. Based on the Chi-Square test, the results obtained were p = 0.000. Because p = 0.000 0.05, it can be interpreted that there is a relationship between brushing teeth and the number of candida fungal colonies in dental caries in children under 10 years of age. This can also be interpreted as meaning that the better the habit of brushing your teeth, the fewer the number of candida fungal colonies, and vice versa.

Published: December 2023

Alginate is one of the most frequently used dental materials; and alginate impression is a simple, cost-effective, and indispensable part of dental practice. However, alginate impression material is still difficult to find in remote areas, this is due to the distance factor and the limited supply of alginate. One of the substitutes for alginate is sweet corn that contain polysaccharide a and are easily available in Indonesia. . This type of research is a laboratory experimental study using 4 groups, consisting of the first group as a control group, namely alginate without being given a mixture of sweet corn flour (10 g). The second group with 60% alginate percentage (6 g) sweet corn flour 40% (4 g) . The third group alginate percentage 55% (5.5 g) sweet corn flour 45% (4.5 g). The fourth group was 50% alginate (5 g) 50% sweet corn flour (5 g). Each group consists of 6 samples. The results of this study were then analyzed using One Way Anova to see if there were differences in each treatment group, the results showed that there were significant differences (p 0.05) in each group. This study also found the group with the fastest setting time, namely the control group, with an average of and the longest setting time is in group 3 with an average of 234 seconds . This can happen because of the polysaccharide content, namely amylopectin in sweet corn flour. The conclusion of this study is that sweet corn flour ( Zea mays L. Saccharata ) can be used as an alginate mixture because it has a setting time according to the American Dental Association (ADA ) standard, which is 2 - 4.5 minutes.

Bu makalenin konusu, Ankara Etnoğrafya Müzesi Koleksiyonunda yer alan Kırşehir seccade halılarının motif ve kompozisyon özellikleri üzerinedir. Kırşehir 18. yüzyıldan itibaren Anadolu Türk halı sanatının zenginliğine katkı sağlayan önemli dokuma merkezlerindendir. Kırşehir’e ait çok sayıda halının günümüze ulaşması yörede dokumacılık faaliyetlerinin yoğun olduğunu göstermektedir. Bugün Türkiye’de hemen hemen her müzede Kırşehir halısına rastlamak mümkündür. Günümüze ulaşan Kırşehir halılarının sayıca fazla olması memnuniyet verici olmakla birlikte eserlerin Türkiye’de ve yurt dışında farklı müzelerde ve çeşitli koleksiyonlarda bulunması bu halıları topluca ele alarak değerlendirmeyi ve Kırşehir halıları ile ilgili kesin ifadeler kullanmayı zorlaştırmaktadır. Bu sebeple müzelerde ve özel koleksiyonlarda yer alan Kırşehir halılarını mümkün olduğunca gün ışığına çıkararak belgelemek, bu halıların üslup özelliklerini ortaya koymak hususunda önem arz etmektedir. Çalışma kapsamında Ankara Etnoğrafya Müzesinden gerekli izinlerin alınmasının ardından müze envanter defterleri dikkatle taranarak Kırşehir yöresine ait halılar tespit edilmiştir. Tespit edilen halıları yerinde incelemek sureti ile gözlem fişlerine özellikleri ile ilgili gerekli bilgiler aktarılmıştır. Halıları görsel açıdan belgelemek amacı ile fotoğrafları çekilmiştir. Katalog çalışması yapılmıştır. Buna göre Ankara Etnoğrafya Müzesi Koleksiyonunda yer alan Kırşehir halıları seccade türündedir ve ekseriyetle mihrap tasvirlidir. Mihrap nişinde en çok tasvir edilen motifler; stilize bitkisel motifler, manzara tasvirleri ve kandildir. Mihrap nişinin süslemesiz olduğu örnekler mevcuttur. Kırşehir seccade halılarında birer süsleme alanı olan mihrap köşeleri, mihrabın altında ve üstünde bulunan dikdörtgen çerçeveler ve bordürlerde bitkisel motiflerin hâkim olduğu görülmektedir. Ankara Etnoğrafya Müzesi dışındaki müze ve koleksiyonlarda motif ve kompozisyon özellikleri açısından Kırşehir seccade halılarının farklı örnekleri bulunmaktadır. Bu husus Kırşehir seccade halıları ile ilgili kesin ifadeler kullanma konusunda ihtiyatlı davranmayı gerektirmektedir. Bunun yanı sıra Kırşehir seccade halıları ile ilgili her çalışma daha fazla esere ulaşmayı mümkün kılarak, genel üslup özelliklerini ortaya koymak açısından önemlidir.

Published: December 2023

In this paper, we present a numerical approach to solve the GNLSE and analyze soliton interaction phenomena using COMSOL environment. By leveraging the capabilities of COMSOL's PDE module, we  can accurately capture the dynamics of solitons and investigate their interactions. We analyze the impact of different parameters such as soliton power, initial separation distance, and dispersion characteristics on the soliton dynamics. Furthermore, we examine the role of higher-order dispersion terms in shaping the soliton interactions. Our findings demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed numerical approach in accurately simulating and analyzing soliton interaction phenomena. The COMSOL-based methodology provides a flexible and efficient framework for studying complex nonlinear optical systems, enabling researchers to gain insights into the behavior of solitons in different media and design optimized communication systems. This paper contributes to the understanding of soliton dynamics and provides a practical tool for investigating the behavior of solitons in nonlinear dispersive media. The presented numerical approach using COMSOL opens avenues for further research in nonlinear optics and fiber optic communication systems.

This study was designed to investigate the connections between (Inflammation, Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs),-diabetes mellitus,-Obesity,-polycystic ovary syndrome, thyroid and cancer )-and asprosin hormone. Asprosin is present in high amounts in a variety of diseases that are considerably manifested in several cases and illnesses Asprosin hormone is newly adipokine helps the liver produce glucose. White adipose tissue secretes the novel hormone asprosin, which stimulates the release of hepatic glucose, making protein a possible target for new treatments for obesity and  type 2 diabetes mellitus. Exons (65 and 66) of the gene( Fibrillin 1 (FBN1)), which was recently shown to be a new hormone released by white adipose tissues, are the final two exons that code for asprosin. However, further research is needed to fully understand how asprosin affects pancreatic beta-cells, leading to pathologically elevated cellular dysfunction and inflammation. Asprosin hormone is raised  in human  with metabolic disease. The findings imply that asprosin hormone  may be crucial for maintaining insulin and glucose homeostasis as well as acting as a risk factor for a number of diseases, including CVDs, obesity,  T2DM, cancer, hypothyroidism, and PCOS. Depleting asprosin or attenuating its activity may potentially offer a novel therapeutic option for the treatment of T2DM and obesity.

The airline industry places significant emphasis on improving customer experience, and Twitter has emerged as a key platform for passengers to share their opinions. This research introduces a machine learning approach to analyze tweets and enhance customer experience. Features are extracted from tweets using both the Glove dictionary and n-gram methods for word embedding. The study explores various artificial neural network (ANN) architectures and Support Vector Machines (SVM) to create a classification model for categorizing tweets into positive and negative sentiments. Additionally, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is developed for tweet classification, and its performance is compared with the most accurate model identified among SVM and multiple ANN architectures. The results indicate that the CNN model surpasses the SVM and ANN models. To provide further insights, association rule mining is applied to different tweet categories, revealing connections with sentiment categories. These findings offer valuable information to help airline industries refine and enhance their customer experience strategies.
