REASSESSING ARMENIA’S STANCE ON THE ROME STATUTE: CONSTITUTIONAL COMPLIANCE AND POSSIBLE IMPLICATIONS FOR ARMENIA
Authors: Hayrapetyan Albert
Published: January 2025

The Republic of Armenia signed the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court in 1999 but found it unconstitutional in 2004. After constitutional amendments in 2005 and 2015, the issue resurfaced. In March 2023, Armenia’s Constitutional Court declared the Statute constitutional, allowing the continuation of the ratification process. This could enable the examination of issues related to Azerbaijan’s aggression in the ICC. The ICC’s recent issuance of an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin has gained attention in Armenian media. In this article, I will first provide background information on the ICC. Next, I will examine the two decisions of the Constitutional Court. Finally, and most importantly, I will discuss the potential political and foreign policy implications of the ratification of the Statute.
THE NAGORNO-KARABAKH (ARTSAKH) CONFLICT AND THE ORGANIZATION OF TURKIC STATES (OTS)
Authors: Minasyan Nelli
Published: January 2025

The main purpose of this research is to analyze the main goals of discussions around the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and the attitudes of Turkic-speaking republics towards the issue in the summits of Turkic-speaking states, as well as in the Turkic Council and the Organization of Turkic States (OTS). The OTS is an institutional structure that organizes Turkic integration processes. As integration processes deepen in the Turkic world, challenges to Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh will increase.
The research demonstrates that in previous decades, Türkiye and Azerbaijan tried to give the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict a pan-Turkic character and form a united anti-Armenian front, but the Turkic-speaking republics of Central Asia have mostly maintained neutrality. On the other hand, after the 44-Day War, Türkiye began the process of Turkic integration, which includes the political, economic, educational, cultural, security, and information fields. The strengthening of this integration would pose serious challenges to the region, particularly for Armenia, in various aspects such as economics, politics, and security.

Bu çalışma, Türkiye demiryolu bakım süreçlerinin optimizasyonu için Kendini Organize Eden Haritalar (SOM) ve K-Ortalama algoritmalarının karşılaştırmalı performanslarını incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaçla vagon tamire tutulma yeri (TTY) tespitinde kullanılan SOM ve K-Ortalama kümeleme algoritmalarının performansları incelenmiştir. Çalışmada kullanılan veri seti, Türkiye'deki vagon arıza kayıtlarından elde edilmiş olup, Tamire Tutulma Nedeni (TTN), Komponent Adı (KA) ve Vagon Tipi (VT) gibi öznitelikleri içermektedir. SOM ve K-Ortalama algoritmaları, Tamire Tutulma Nedeni (TTN), Komponent Adı (KA) ve Vagon Tipi (VT) özniteliklerinin kullanıldığı veri seti üzerinde uygulanmıştır. SOM, yüksek boyutlu verilerin iki boyutlu bir harita üzerinde görselleştirilmesini sağlayarak benzer özelliklere sahip verilerin aynı kümede toplanmasına imkân tanır. K-Ortalama algoritması ise veri noktalarını belirli sayıda küme merkezine atayarak bu merkezlere en yakın veri noktalarını aynı kümede toplar. Analiz sonuçları, SOM ve K-Ortalama algoritmalarının vagon bakım süreçlerini optimize etme açısından etkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu yöntemlerin birlikte kullanılması, vagon bakım süreçlerinin daha verimli ve sistematik bir şekilde yönetilmesine olanak tanıyacaktır. Doğru arıza tespiti ve uygun atölyelere yönlendirme, bakım süreçlerinin hızlanmasına ve maliyetlerin düşürülmesine katkı sağlayacaktır.

Authors: Kaya Muhammed Mustafa , Söylemez Mehmet Turan
Published: January 2025

Son yıllarda büyük şehirlerde artan nüfus ile trafik yoğunluğu artmaktadır. Trafik sorunu şehir içi ulaşımı kolaylaştıran raylı sisteme talebi artırmaktadır. Mevcut demiryolu hatları artan bu talebi karşılamakta yetersiz kalabilmektedir. Bu yüzden yeni raylı sistem hatlarına ihtiyaç vardır. Fakat bu yeni hatlar yüksek yapım maliyetinden dolayı çok uygun değildir. Şehirlerde kullanılan mevcut hatlar genelde Haberleşme Tabanlı Tren Kontrol (CBTC) sinyalizasyon sistemi altında sabit blok veya hareketli blok prensibi kullanılmaktadır. Bu kontrol sistemini geliştirmek ve hat kapasitesini daha fazla arttırmak için yeni sinyalizasyon prensiplerine ihtiyaç vardır. Sanal Kuplaj, 2 veya daha fazla treni fiziksel bağlantı olmadan sanal olarak bağlar veya ayırır. Bu prensibin hattın kapasitesini arttırdığını gösteren çalışmalar mevcuttur. Bu çalışmada, literatürdeki sanal kuplaj çalışmalarından farklı olarak, Oransal-İntegral-Türev (PID) kontrolü kullanılarak bir sanal kuplaj çalışması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araçtan araca (V2V) iletişim yoluyla yapılan kontrolde sanal kuplaj senaryoları için simülasyonlar yapılmıştır. Lider ve takipçi tren topolojisi ile tasarlanan senaryoların simülasyon sonuçlarına bakıldığında sanal kuplajın trenler arası mesafeyi kısalttığı görülmüştür. Ayrıca, önerilen kontrolör lider ve takipçi trenlerin hızlarını eşitlemiştir. İlk senaryoda trenler istenilen mesafe değerine 60 saniye civarında ulaşmış ve hızlar eşitlenmiştir. İkinci senaryoda takipçi trenin başlangıçta olduğu gibi yine istenilen pozisyona ve hıza 50 saniye civarında ulaştığı görülmektedir. Son senaryoda ise iki tren arasındaki mesafe istenilen değere 180 saniye civarında ulaşmış ve hızlar eşitlenmiştir.

Authors: Poşluk Evren , Oğul Kenan , Bozkurt Hasan
Published: January 2025

Yüksek standartlı demiryolları, kat ettikleri uzun mesafeler ve içerdiği yoğun mühendislik yapıları sebebiyle tasarım, yapım ve işletmecilik açısından oldukça karmaşık yapılardır. Demiryolu güzergah çalışmaları sırasında tünel, viyadük, altgeçit, üstgeçit gibi sanat yapılarına sıklıkla başvurulmakta, buda projenin maliyetini, yapım süresini ve işletmecilik sürecinde bakım maliyetlerini doğrudan etkilemektedir. Bu nedenle yüksek standartlı demir yolu projelerinin temelini güzergah çalışmaları oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, heyelan altından geçen Doğançay Ripajı T8 Tüneli 2 farklı güzergah alternetifi (heyelana en yakın ve en uzak) irdelenmiştir. Bu amaçla öncelikle sondaj ve jeodezik yöntemler kullanılarak heyelan geometrileri belirlenmiş ardından geri analiz ve ileri analiz yöntemleri kullanılarak heyelanların farklı güzergahlara etkileri değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak heyelanlı bir bölgeden geçen T8 Tünelinde en kısa tünel güzergahının daha fazla destekleme gerektireceği bu nedenle heyelan kayma yüzeyinden en uzak mesafede tünelin konumlandırılması gerektiği anlaşılmıştır. Bu anlayışa göre konumlandırılan T8 Tüneli sorunsuz bir şekilde 2021 yılında ulaşıma açılmıştır.

Published: January 2025

Objective: This study examines the implementation of speech acts in strengthening character education through Indonesian language learning at SMA Negeri Rawalo Banyumas. Specifically, it analyzes how illocutionary and perlocutionary speech acts are utilized by teachers to build students' character, focusing on values such as integrity, responsibility, discipline, and a love of reading.
 
Theoretical Framework: The study is grounded in pragmatics, particularly the theory of speech acts, including illocutionary acts (expressive, commissive, verdictive, and expositive) and perlocutionary acts (representative, directive, commissive, and expressive). This framework underpins the analysis of how language use can serve as a medium to internalize moral values and foster character education in formal educational contexts.
 
Method: A qualitative descriptive approach was used, with a case study design. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. These methods provided a comprehensive understanding of the strategic use of speech acts by teachers in Indonesian language classes.
 
Results and Discussion: The results show that teachers strategically employ various speech acts to create a conducive learning environment for character education. Verbal expressions combined with concrete actions effectively internalize values such as integrity, responsibility, discipline, and a love of reading. Thematic analysis reveals that speech acts serve not only as communication tools but also as mechanisms for moral education in the classroom.
 
Research Implications: This study highlights the crucial role of teachers in shaping students' character through effective speech acts. The findings offer practical recommendations for integrating speech act strategies into teaching practices to strengthen character education, which can also be applied to other subjects for a holistic educational approach.
 
Originality/Value: This research contributes both theoretically and practically to the study of pragmatics and education. It provides novel insights into how speech acts can be integrated into teaching strategies to reinforce character education, particularly within the context of Indonesian language learning. The study emphasizes the importance of embedding moral values into formal education processes to nurture well-rounded individuals.

Authors: Triyanto
Published: January 2025

Objective: The aim of this research is to understand the teacher's perspective on multicultural education. This paper discusses the teachers’ perspective concerning multicultural education in Indonesia.
 
Theoretical Framework: Multicultural education is an education system that recognizes and respects the diversity of cultures, races, religions and social backgrounds of students. The study of the role of teachers in multicultural education is an important factor in supporting policy-making on multiculturalism.
 
Method: There were 55 teachers with more than five years of work experience giving their perspectives. Data were collected by observation and in-depth interviews. The data underwent analysis using the four processes outlined in the Interactive Model of Analysis.
 
Results and Discussion: The results showed that the teachers’ perspective concerning multicultural education is divided into five aspects, namely: (1) knowledge, (2) attitudes, (3) policies, (4) obstacles, and (5) reinforcement. Not all teachers understand the concept of multicultural education. Basically, the teacher agrees to the implementation of multicultural education because Indonesia is a multicultural country. Government policies have supported the implementation of multicultural education. The obstacle to multicultural education is the low awareness of students about respect for diversity. Strengthening multicultural education can be done by increasing teachers' knowledge about multicultural education and students' insights about diversity.
 
Research Implications: The findings of this study hold significant relevance for governmental deliberation in formulating policies pertaining to multicultural education.
 
Originality/Value: The results of this research are important for government consideration in taking policy on multiculturalism education. It also supports Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) SDG 11 in making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable.

Published: January 2025

Aim: The aim of this research is to examine the legal responsibility of hospitals and health workers in cases of errors or negligence in health services, as stipulated in Indonesian Law Number 36 of 2009 concerning Health. The study focuses on understanding the legal frameworks and practices related to compensation claims by patients, particularly addressing the power imbalance between hospitals and patients in Indonesia, where patients often accept and surrender to healthcare efforts without asserting their rights.
 
Method: This research has empirical juridical research specifications, namely research that in addition to describing certain circumstances, objects, or events, conclusions will be drawn from the object of the problem associated with legal theories and positive legal practices concerning the problem. This research was analyzed using a qualitative descriptive analysis method.
 
Result: The findings indicate that legal liability for errors or negligence in health services is shared between hospitals and individual health workers. Hospitals, as healthcare facility providers, do not absolve health workers from their personal legal responsibilities. According to Article 1365 of the Civil Code, health workers who commit negligence that causes harm to patients are obligated to compensate for the loss. Civil claims for compensation can be filed under two concepts: (a) compensation for default, and (b) compensation for statutory obligations, including tort. However, the Civil Code does not specify the exact amount of compensation, leaving it to the judge's discretion based on Articles 1371 and 1372 of the Civil Code and considerations of justice.

Authors: Jie Weng , Jamaludin Nurul Atasha
Published: January 2025

Objective: The objective of this study is to develop a conceptual framework to elucidate how social capital enhances talent development practice and organizational sustainable development.
 
Theoretical Framework: The theoretical framework integrates social capital theory and organizational support theory to explore how relationships, networks, and organizational support influence talent development. Social capital theory emphasizes bonding (internal cohesion) and bridging (external connections) dimensions, which foster collaboration, trust, and resource access. Organizational support theory highlights how perceived organizational support enhances employee engagement and sustainable growth.
 
Results and Discussion: The research synthesizes insights from existing literature on talent management and social capital. The findings indicate that bonding social capital, characterized by strong ties within an organization, fosters trust and collaboration, which enhance talent development. Bridging social capital, involving weaker, external ties, facilitates access to diverse knowledge and opportunities for resource sharing across organizational boundaries. Together, these dimensions of social capital significantly contribute to developing individual capabilities, organizational performance, and sustainable competitive advantage.
 
Research Implications: This study makes theoretical contributions by integrating social capital theory and organizational support theory into talent development research. Practically, it provides actionable insights for employers and policymakers about leveraging internal and external networks to create inclusive and sustainable talent development strategies. The framework emphasizes the importance of a balanced approach to bonding and bridging social capital, promoting both internal cohesion and external collaboration for professional development.
 
Originality/Value: By linking social capital to talent development, this study advances understanding in the fields of talent management and organizational studies, with implications for achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in decent work and economic growth.

Objective: We aimed to study the pattern of non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage on Computed Tomography in tertiary hospital of Nepal.

Methodology: 180 cases of intracranial hemorrhage (108 male and 72 female), diagnosed on computed tomography and aged >18 years were enrolled in the study. Cases with known history of trauma and previous intracranial hemorrhage were excluded. CT scan of head was performed in 128 slice Multidetector Philips CT scan Machine using 120 kV and auto mA with multiplanar reconstruction on dedicated workstation. Size and site of hematoma was noted. Intracranial hemorrhage was classified into different types- intraparenchymal, intraventricular, subarachnoid, subdural and epidural. Presence or absence of perilesional oedema was noted separately. SPSS 20 was used for the entry and analysis of the collected data.

Result: Mean age of the study population was 64.6 years ranging from 19 years to 92 years. 60% were male and 40% were female. The most common type of non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage was intraparenchymal (91.1%) followed by intraventricular (5.6%), subarachnoid (2.2%) and subdural (1.1%). Perilesional oedema was seen in 69.4 % of intracranial hemorrhage. The age group with maximum cases (53.3%) of intracranial hemorrhage was >60 years followed by 50-60 years.

Conclusion: Intraparenchymal type was the most common type of non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage as seen on computed tomography. Male gender and older age were significantly associated with intracranial hemorrhage.

Introduction: Brachydactyly (BD) is considered a genetic malformation that can cause disproportionately short fingers and toes. The incidence ranges from 0.0% up to 0.05%, with a predilection for females. On the other hand, the Walant anesthetic technique is safe and effective and uses epinephrine, lidocaine, and sodium bicarbonate.

Case presentation: A 50-year-old female diagnosed with BD was scheduled for an elective osteotomy with a bone elongator. During the procedure, we used the Walant technique, which does not require intravenous sedation or supplementary oxygen.

Clinical discussion: Hand surgery is one of the most common procedures and usually requires the use of a tourniquet for hemostatic control, creates pain and makes the use of sedation necessary. In this case, we explained how the Walant technique can be beneficial in cases with BD.

Conclusion: The Walant technique proves anesthesia and avoids the use of tourniquet and sedation, decreasing surgical times, optimizing surgical supplies, and decreasing costs and post-anesthetic recovery. It can be used as a first-line anesthetic option in selected procedures, including tendon repairs and carpal tunnel release.

This study focuses on the effects of tourism environment perception, perceived value, place attachment and media publicity on tourists' psychological satisfaction, aiming to reveal the intrinsic links between these elements through empirical analyses.The study found that tourism environment perception has a significant positive effect on tourists' psychological satisfaction. This suggests that environmental elements such as the natural environment, cultural atmosphere, service quality and overall experience of tourism destinations that match tourists' expectations and preferences will significantly increase their satisfaction. Therefore, improving the quality of the tourism environment has become the key to enhancing tourists' satisfaction. Tourism destinations should enhance tourists' positive perceptions of the tourism environment by improving the natural landscape, enriching the cultural connotation, and improving the service quality.In addition, perceived value has been shown to have a positive impact on tourists' psychological satisfaction. Tourists' perceived value of tourism products or services during tourism is an important indicator of their satisfaction. This implies that providing cost-effective tourism products or services that meet the needs of tourists is essential for enhancing tourists' satisfaction.This study reveals the important role of tourism environment perception and perceived value in enhancing tourists' psychological satisfaction, and provides a scientific basis for tourism destination management and marketing strategies. Tourism destinations should pay attention to improving the quality of tourism environment and optimising tourism products or services in order to meet the diversified needs of tourists, and then enhance the overall satisfaction and loyalty of tourists.

Due to the serious threats of petroleum fires, which might take place
every now and then, in ships (oil tankers), big fuel tanks aboard,
oil refineries or conventional petrol stations ashore, which often
leave big losses and injuries. Such Fires require big efforts and
modern facilities in order to overcome difficulties with suppression.
It becomes an essential issue to conduct research, which might
help to understand the nature of such fires, and more important the
effective ways of suppression using computer model at different
pressures and temperatures.

Trans-Dimensional Unified Field Theory (TDUFT)
Authors:   Independent Researcher, USA, James Ducas George
Published: January 2025

Trans-Dimensional Unified Field Theory (TDUFT) proposes a revolutionary approach to understanding the universe's intricate mechanics. By integrating the
core concepts of velocity ((\phi)), time (( \hat{\phi})), mass, energy, wave-particle duality, and insights gleaned from advanced particle physics experiments,
particularly those conducted at CERN, TDUFT aims to forge a cohesive bond between classical mechanics and modern quantum theories. This framework
not only clarifies profound relationships among these elements but also presents opportunities for new interpretations of fundamental physical laws.
Employer of Record (EOR) An Emerging Opportunity for The Indian IT/ITES Sector

Published: January 2025

The Indian Information Technology/Information Technology enabled Services (IT/ITeS) companies operate in a minimum of fifteen to twenty countries with the Tier 1 entities going beyond the forty countries mark.  It becomes pertinent that, creation of legal entities viz., Branches, Subsidiaries, partnership firms, firms with teaming agreements become the order of the day to deliver business in a compliant way. The question, the paper raises is, what about those countries and emerging markets where the companies do not have legal entities (permanent entities-PEs)?  How does one operate and ensure delivery of services for clients either in the client location or associates being in a third-party location? Can near shore become an important facet of delivery in the global delivery model (GDM) that is being practiced? Though the Tier 1 entities do manage to ensure delivery, the Tier 2 and Tier 3 entities have their own issues in ensuring delivery of the service offerings.  A total of 108 Human Resources and Compliance related employees of organizations have been contacted to ensure the understanding.  It is here that the facet of Employer of Record (EoR) plays a dynamic role and ensures compliance of the associates who travel to a location where the Indian IT/ITeS organization does not have an entity to deliver the services.  EoRs with a global footprint can send the associates of an entity to different countries where they do not have PEs and ensure delivery of the services in a compliant manner.  The research paper is a study of how the Indian IT/ITeS sector has managed to get EoRs on board and ensure services a rendered in remote locations and countries where they get a one-off or short-term projects to deliver.  True to its nomenclature, an EoR takes on a company’s human resources responsibilities and onboards, pays, and manages employees while the IT/ITeS organizations maintain and control the day-to-day operations.
