Book Review on 'Pedagogical Translanguaging'
Authors: Ulum Ömer Gökhan
Published: December 2024

Pedagogical Translanguaging by Jasone Cenoz and Durk Gorter, published by Cambridge University Press in 2021, addresses a critical need in contemporary multilingual education: the development of pedagogical strategies that effectively leverage the linguistic resources of learners in increasingly diverse classrooms. As global mobility continues to reshape linguistic landscapes, traditional monolingual approaches in education often fail to reflect the realities of students' linguistic repertoires. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of translanguaging as both a theoretical concept and a practical tool for enhancing language and content learning. Situated within the broader discourse on multilingualism and education, Pedagogical Translanguaging challenges entrenched monolingual ideologies and presents innovative approaches that promote linguistic inclusivity and metalinguistic awareness. This review critically evaluates the book using the Five C’s approach, analyzing its context, content, strengths and weaknesses, comparisons with other works, and its contributions to the field.

Authors:   Karaganda Technical University named after Abylkas Saginov,, Sailaukyzy Zh. , Danenova G.T. , Kokkoz M.M.
Published: December 2024

Energy efficiency in digital radio systems is one of the key challenges in modern communication systems.
This is especially relevant in fading environments, where it is necessary to minimize energy consumption while
maintaining high data transmission quality. The goal of this research is to develop and evaluate methods for improving
the energy efficiency of digital radio systems using multi-threshold decoding (MTD) and convolutional coding. The
efficiency of these methods was tested under various operating conditions of radio channels. Effective convolutional
codes were selected for MTD, which ensure a high level of data protection during transmission. The study evaluated
the energy efficiency of these codes in channels with additive white Gaussian noise. The convolutional coding methods
allowed for significant improvements in MTD performance, which led to increased reliability of data transmission.
Additionally, iterative demodulation and decoding methods were used, enabling the correction of errors with each
iteration. This approach contributed to a significant increase in data transmission accuracy by repeatedly performing
the processes of demodulation and decoding, especially in complex conditions. The research results showed that the
proposed methods allowed for a 12-18% reduction in system energy consumption. Furthermore, with a signal-to-noise
ratio (SNR) of 10 dB, the bit error rate (BER) decreased from 10⁻³ to 8×10⁻⁴, improving error correction efficiency by
15-20%. The accuracy of data transmission in fading environments also improved by 10-15%, enhancing the overall
reliability of the system. The practical significance of this research is that the proposed methods can be successfully
applied in modern radio systems to increase their energy efficiency and improve communication quality, particularly
in challenging transmission conditions.

CONTRIBUTION OF REGIONS TO THE TECHNOLOGICAL SOVEREIGNTY OF THE COUNTRY: USING THE POSSIBILITIES OF STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
Authors: Volkova N.N. , Romanyuk E.I.
Published: December 2024

This article is devoted to the study of regional aspects of measuring the level of technological sovereignty. The work talks about the impossibility of achieving sovereignty in a separate region. However, it is possible to conduct a comparative analysis of the contribution of regions to its achievement. The contribution of regions to the formation of technological sovereignty of Russia was assessed on the basis of the aggregated index proposed by the authors in their previous works. In this work, the authors tried to answer the question: to what extent does the system of indicators used to construct various aggregated indices of scientific and technological development reflect the real state of affairs.A comparative analysis of the clustering of regions by two sets of indicators based on data from the same year (2022) showed that the division of regions into clusters, in addition to the variables used in the cluster analysis, has hidden reasons, the identification of which will optimize the policy for managing the scientific and technological development of regions.
Role of the weathered granites in the formation of landslides on the northern slopes of Sredna Gora Mountain
Authors: Dotseva Zornitsa , Stanimirova Tsveta , Gerdjikov Ianko , Vangelov Dian
Published: December 2024

Weathered granites can contribute to the initiation of natural hazards due to their specific characteristics and response to the environmental conditions. They absorb water during periods of intensive precipitation, and the water saturation further weakens the structural integrity and increases the potential of slope failures and mass movements. Additionally, the breakdown of weathered granite into smaller particles can further contribute to the volume of material available for mobilization during mass-wasting events. This study focuses on rainfall-induced slope failures that occurred in one watershed on the northern slope of the Sredna Gora Mountain which was severely affected by heavy rainstorms in September 2022. Despite the area’s typical stability, these events highlighted the influence of geological conditions, particularly the weathering of granites. Through field investigations, we examined the interactions in weathering profile, chemical transformations in granites and structural discontinuities, assessing their contributions to slope instability and hazard processes.

Published: December 2024

Cement kiln dust (CKD), a by-product of cement clinker manufacturing, embodies considerable amounts of alkali and alkaline-earth compounds, presenting a potential route for CO2 sequestration. The study aims to clarify the potential of CKD for CO2 capture and storage. Two experimental schemes were used: (1) direct carbonation of dry CKD and (2) carbonation of hydrated CKD. Analytical techniques such as XRF, XRD, FT-IR, SEM and DSC/TG were employed to characterize the mineralogical and morphological transformations of hydratation and carbonation of CKD. The findings reveal that even in the dry state, the CKD has the ability to react with carbon dioxide at normal pressure to form stable mineral phases such as calcite and vaterite. The study confirms that CKD, both in raw and hydrated forms, holds promise for CO2 capture and storage applications.

Authors: Serafimova Ekaterina , Petkova Vilma
Published: December 2024

Global production uses the equivalent of the resources of 1.5 planets. Even higher consumption values are possible in the future. The circular economy model increasingly embraces waste as a sustainable source of raw materials. The present work investigates the characteristics of flotation waste from a tailings pond using physico-chemical methods. The study also evaluates its potential application and utilization with other products and waste for brick production. We obtained composites by mixing clay from Mirkovo (G), coal (V), dried ceramic products (B), and flotation waste from a tailings pond in Kardzhali (F), then granulating them by pressing. They are treated by heating at three different temperatures, ranging from 800 to 900 °C. We determined the static compressive strength after heating and found that the flotation waste improved the strength indicators and lowered the temperatures in the production of ceramic bricks.

Published: December 2024

Toxic Hg species pose a global ecological issue due to the significant anthropogenic emissions of Hg to the atmosphere. То asses the behavior of Hg during combustion of diverse biomasses, here we discuss published mineralogical and geochemical data on different biomass types and present preliminary Hg content results on their ashes. About 63–100% of Hg in these biomasses were volatilized at 700 °C and the Hg contents in their biomass ashes are low (0.0032–0.0452 ppm). Only limited parts of Hg were captured by specific biomass ashes enriched in oxyhydroxides, sulphates, chlorides, carbonates, and phosphates. Alternative renewable and sustainable biomasses poor in Hg (0.001–0.043 ppm) are suggested to substitute partially or completely the industrial coals enriched in Hg (0.14–0.57 ppm) and used in Bulgarian thermoelectric power plants to minimize the ecological problems related to this element.

Authors: Antonov Dimitar , Yordanov Todor , Toteva Aglaida , Ivanova Kremena , Benderev Aleksey
Published: December 2024

Radon as a daughter product from the radioactive uranium family, is present in all rocks and soils in the geosphere. Its half-life (3.82 d) allows the element to migrate from the terrestrial environment to the surface. This migration can be intensified through preferential degassing pathways, such as faults or fracture systems Geogenic radon potential refers to the tendency of high radon concentrations in a building, which is directly linked to surface influences rather than building materials. The radon index concept is employed to characterize GRP. This study aims to apply the multivariate cross-tabulation methodology at a specific site in Sofia, Bulgaria and to compare them with equation based “geogenic radon potential”.

Authors: Petsinski Petar , Vasilev Atanas , Böttner Christoph , Schramm Bettina
Published: December 2024

The aim of the work is to verify the hypothesis for the possibility for registration of underwater methane emissions with a drone with an RGB camera. A brief overview of research in Bulgaria related to underwater gas seeps is presented, with a focus on the best-studied area with shallow methane seeps, Zelenka, west of Cape Kaliakra. The area is covered by 1070 georeferenced images in which each individual seep is registered in 6 consecutive images captured in 15 s. Four groups of images have 30–>100 single seeps visible. Advantages of the method are the quick obtaining of detailed data for large areas, but its dependence on meteorological conditions makes it inapplicable for regular monitoring. It is one of the cheapest express methods for quick inspection of the activity of gas sources in extensive areas, and the Zelenka area is one of the most convenient in Europe for the investigation of underwater methane sources.

Published: December 2024

The research aims to identify the framing of Arab news websites for sustainable development during the first half of 2024 by measuring the differences between the Egyptian Al-Ahram website and the Emirati Al-Bayan website. The research used the comparative content analysis methodology based on the framing theory. The research discovered the existence of diversity in sustainable development issues, but the Al-Ahram website gave priority to the issue of climate change, while the Al-Bayan website focused on the issue of energy. The government support frame for sustainable development dominated news coverage, and official sources constituted most of the frames in both websites. Arab websites also relied on episodic frames more than thematic frames.

Authors: Altıntaş Furkan Fahri
Published: December 2024

Advancing the field of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM), this study proposes the Spearman Rank Correlation-based Expanded CRITIC Method (SRCBECM) as a novel and objective method for computing criteria weight coefficients. Leveraging the intricate revised CRITIC method, SRCBECM aims to enrich and contribute the MCDM landscape. Drawing upon criterion values extracted from Freedom in the world (FIW) index assessments for 19 G20 member nations, the study showcases the sensivity of SRCBECM in objectively deriving criteria weights for diverse contexts. Further bolstering its credibility and reliability, comparative analyses reveal MIEXCF's alignment with established methodologies such as ENTROPY, CRITIC, SD, SVP, LOPCOW, and MEREC. Notably, the simulation analysis underscores SRCBECM's exceptional and stability in discerning criteria weights and its remarkable stability across diverse scenarios. In conclusion, SRCBECM emerges as a robust and objective criterion weighting technique, poised to make significant contributions to the burgeoning field of the broader MCDM corpus.
The Role of Emotional Intelligence in Predicting Academic Engagement and Performance in Indian management students: A Structural Equation Model Approach
Authors: Asmita Gaikwad
Published: December 2024

This paper explores the direct and indirect impact of emotional intelligence (EI) on academic performance, academic engagement, and academic success among management students. Employing a Structural Equation Model (SEM), the study examines three dimensions of emotional intelligence—general emotional intelligence (EI), emotional regulation and understanding (EI2), and emotional expression and social awareness (EI3)—and their influence on outcome variables like diligence, self-motivation, and academic engagement, specifically dedication and absorption. Covariances between EI dimensions were analyzed to highlight their interrelatedness while preserving their distinctiveness. The SEM analysis indicates a strong positive association between EI and academic performance, emphasizing the pivotal role of emotional skills in improving student outcomes. The findings provide actionable insights for educational institutions to integrate emotional intelligence development into curricula to enhance student success. Key fit indices (CFI, TLI, RMSEA) affirm the model’s robustness.

Published: December 2024

The quality by design (QbD) approach was applied for optimizing the formulation of Escitalopram oxalate (ES) orodispersible tablets (ODTs) using Design-Expert Software. To Optimize ES-ODTs a quality target product profile was established in which critical quality attributes (CQAs) such as wetting time, dispersion time, disintegration time and drug release rates were defined and quantified. As critical formulation parameters (CFP) that were evaluated for their effect on the CQA. Percentage of Crospovidone (CP) and Croscaramellose (CCS) were choosen. Response surface methodology (RSM) such as Central Composite Design (CCD) was used to evaluate the effects of the CFPs on the CQAs of the final product. The main factor affecting disintegration, wetting time, dispersion time and release rate was the combination of CP and CCS. Disintegration time, wetting time and dispersion time were found to be sensitive to the percentage of CP and CCS. From the results a design space could be created. The results suggest QbD appears to be a useful approach for the rational design of ES-ODTs. The chosen model helps to visualize the different effects of the CFPs on the CQAs.

A Quixotic Joan?: Mark Twain and Miguel Cervantes on Modern Politics
Authors: Dobski Bernard Joseph
Published: December 2024

Mark Twain called Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc his best book. But it is also one of his least popular. Part of this novel’s general neglect can be attributed to a failure to appreciate Twain’s engagement with the texts and themes at the heart of political philosophy. Both of these can be remedied when one comes to understand the extent to which Twain’s best novel was in dialogue with that masterpiece of modern literature, Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes.

Eclecticism” in the work of Ved Mehta: A critical study of his writings
Authors: Attri Ms.Vandana , Sharma Dr. Swati
Published: December 2024

Ved Mehta was the great eclectic Novelist. He was blind from his childhood but indeed an electric writer. He covered a wide range of subjects from his own experiences. Even after being blind, he explored Indian history, culture and politics skillfully. Early in the 1950s, while pursuing an undergraduate degree at Oxford, Mehta obtained the tools of his literary trade. Mehta was steeped in the empiricist literary tradition, much like his mentor William Shawn at The New Yorker. Mehta organizes the motions of the character by using a sophisticated web of narrative devices. During his time as an Oxford University student, Mehta learned the fundamentals of style, including the use of right words.
It's true that Ved Mehta was an eclectic writer whose writing eluded simple classification. Mehta, who was born blind, brought a unique perspective to his varied body of work, which included essays, memoirs, biographies, and novels. Mehta's literary abilities went beyond his writing; he was an adept historian and interviewer as well. His depth as a writer was demonstrated by his ability to skillfully combine personal narrative with more general social and cultural commentary. Mr. Mehta was able to interact with a variety of literary traditions and audiences thanks to his fluency in three languages: Hindi, English, and Urdu. His writings frequently explored difficult subjects like politics, religion, identity, and interpersonal relationships, showcasing his breadth of knowledge and depth of understanding. Ved Mehta made a substantial and varied contribution to literature, demonstrating his true versatility as a writer whose works are still praised for their depth and complexity. Here is an eclecticism-based critical analysis of his writings.

An Analysis of Papers on Migration Presented at National Public Health Congresses
Authors: Özgen Hande , Bilgin Ahmet Can , Aksoy Özge
Published: December 2024

Objective: Although the topic of migration in Turkey was brought back into focus following the Syrian civil war in 2011, it has long been an issue in our country, particularly regarding irregular migrants and seasonal agricultural workers. The impact of migration movements is felt across all aspects of public health. An examination of public health congresses highlights how global and national changes impact scientific advancements in public health. This study aims to investigate the migration-related papers presented at National Public Health Congresses, categorized by year.
Methods: The population of this descriptive-review study consisted of the papers presented in 24 Public Health Congresses held in Turkey between 1988 and 2022. The selected papers were evaluated by bibliometric method and content analysis.
Results: The 8,451 papers in the congress books were analyzed and 131 relevant papers were evaluated. While 58.8% of the papers are about external migration movements, 93.5% of them are about forced migration movements. Seasonal agricultural workers are the most studied group in internal migration studies. While the weight of the papers presented before 2012 was related to the internal migration movements, the focus of the papers presented in the congresses in 2012 and after was shifted to the forced-external migration studies, especially the studies related to the Syrians. Occupational health was the most frequently studied topic concerning internal migration movements. For external migration movements, the most commonly studied topic was women's and reproductive health. Less than 10% of the papers were sent from nursing faculties.
Conclusion: In recent years, it has been observed that internal migration research has lost its weight in migration health research and migration health research has not gone beyond some basic topics.

Basilea, Zü 332. Coppa attica a figure nere iscritta. Considerazioni sulla coppa
Authors: Ridi Cristina
Published: December 2024

Il contributo esamina gli aspetti archeologici di una coppa ad occhioni dell’Antikenmuseum und Sammlung Ludwig di Basilea, recante sul piede l’iscrizione etrusca mi uneial. La vasca e il piede, attualmente ricomposto, della coppa non risultano morfologicamente e stilisticamente del tutto coerenti fra loro: si è proceduto pertanto ad analizzare separatamente queste due porzioni del vaso. La decorazione della vasca, a tema dionisiaco, è avvicinabile al Pittore di Pittsburgh, con una cronologia al 510 a.C. circa. Il piede, di tipo B, per i caratteri di arcaicità, può essere ascritto all’ultimo ventennio del VI secolo a.C.
Basilea, Zü 332. Coppa attica a figure nere iscritta. Etrusco uneial
Authors: Facchetti Giulio
Published: December 2024

Il contributo esamina gli aspetti linguistici dell’iscrizione e individua in uno stesso ambito territoriale e cronologico – Pyrgi, fine del VI – inizi del V secolo a.C. – la compresenza di due appellativi leggermente distinti (Uni e Unei-) per designare la stessa divinità. L’evidenza va probabilmente collegata all’esistenza di due tradizioni scribali e linguistiche distinte, di cui la variante Unei- sembrerebbe rappresentare una forma più “enfatica” destinata ad essere infine riassorbita in Uni.

Authors: Bossolino Isabella
Published: December 2024

Questo articolo presenta alcuni vasi e frammenti ceramici rinvenuti nel sito di Kamiros (Rodi), oggi conservati tra il Museo Archeologico di Rodi e il British Museum. Gli esemplari presentano alcuni elementi comuni, sia dal punto di vista morfologico che da quello decorativo, che hanno permesso già ai primi studiosi di considerarli una produzione unitaria. Si vuole qui proporre un aggiornamento della questione, offrendo una panoramica completa dei pezzi riferibili a questa produzione e una riflessione sulla loro importanza per l’orizzonte ceramico arcaico dell’Egeo orientale.

Grazie alle indagini archeologiche che hanno restituito il layout urbanistico della città in diacronia, il contributo si concentrasull'analisi della città etrusca di Civita Musarna quale piattaforma per lo studio della gromatica urbana e delle misure adottate nell’area. Lo studio si propone di delineare il più probabile percorso di tracciamento gromatico di Civita Musarna applicando un metodo di analisi retrospettiva, dove ogni fase del processo di ricerca viene considerata e discussa in relazione agli altri risultati. Così, l’indagine non solo contribuisce alla comprensione della pianificazione urbana etrusca, ma offre anche spunti per ulteriori studi sulle pratiche agrimensoria e urbanistica antiche.
The Legend behind the Man: Narrative and Memory behind the Iconography of the Warrior of Capestrano
Authors: Scarsella Elena
Published: December 2024

This paper will go through an analysis of the weapons, the defensive gear and the apparel of the statue of the warrior ofCapestrano, comparing them with the archaeological finds in the area and the typical apparel of a Vestine warrior. Here it is argued that, while some objects find close comparisons in the graves from the area,some others can only be found far away, or even in an earlier period. An in depth analysis of the statue helps to frame it and the people that it represented in a much wider context of interactions where the warriors had a key role in the transmission of a transgenerational narrative around violence and memory.

İKİ TARAFLILIK VE ÇOK TARAFLILIK EKSENİNDE LATİN AMERİKA’NIN AFRİKA İLE İLİŞKİLERİ
Authors: Urcan Ceren
Published: December 2024

Yaşadıkları kolonyal geçmişleri ve uzun yıllar sürdürmüş oldukları bağımsızlık mücadeleleri açısından benzer süreçlerden geçmiş olan Latin Amerika ve Afrika bölgeleri geçmişin izlerini halen taşımaktadırlar. Gerek bölge içerisinde gerekse uluslararası sistem içerisinde geliştirdikleri ilişkiler de geçmişten çıkarılan derslerle ve dayanışma temelinde kurulan ilişkilerle daha güvenli bir zeminde kurulmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı Latin Amerika’nın Afrika ile olan ilişkilerini iki taraflılık ve çok taraflılık kavramları üzerinden ele alarak ilişkilerin belirleyicisi olan değişkenleri tespit etmektir. Diplomatik temsilciliklerin açılması, ülkeler arasında anlaşmaların imzalanması şeklinde gerçekleştirilen temel diplomatik faaliyetler bölge ülkeleri arasındaki ikili ilişkilerin genel seyrini ortaya koymakla birlikte iki bölge arasındaki ilişkileri açıklamakta yeterli değildir. Çok taraflı bir zeminde gerçekleştirilen işbirliği faaliyetleri ve bölgelerarasında kurulan ittifaklar ilişkilerin genişlemesine ve derinleşmesine katkı sağlamıştır. Çok taraflı kuruluşlar, uluslararası örgütler, bölgesel temelli kuruluşlar, sivil toplum ve bizzat hükümetler iki bölge arasındaki ilişkilerin aktörleri olsalar dahi ilişkilerin felsefesinde Güney- Güney işbirliğinin sunduğu bakış açısı olan dayanışma ve işbirliği yatmaktadır. Küresel sistemde etkin bir şekilde var olabilme amacı, uluslararası platformlarda ortak hareket edebilmek ve kalkınmaya yönelik ekonomik, siyasi, sosyal, askeri, kültürel parametreleri de içeren kapsamlı bir bakış açısına sahip olmak ve dayanışma ve işbirliği temelinde geliştirilen ilişkiler iki bölgeyi birbirine yakınlaştırmaktadır. Bu sebeple ilişkilerin pragmatizmi ise tek taraflı değil çift taraflıdır.
Comparative Histology and Histochemical Study of the Primary Bronchi between Both Male Mynah (Acridotheres tristis) and Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) birds
Authors: Sura A. Zboon  , Shimaa K. Waad
Published: December 2024

The current investigation comprised eight adult male specimens of both mynah (Acridotheres tristis) and starling (Sturnus vulgaris) obtained from the markets in Al-Basrah city and the Al-Warka district. The specimens were divided into two groups: four specimens for histology study and four specimens for histochemical study. Dissected the birds to get the right and left bronchi as well as the left and right lungs for histological and histochemical analysis. The bronchi have a fundamental structure consisting of cartilage in a C shape, which is connected by delicate membranes. The bronchi were examined histologically, revealing the presence of ciliated respiratory epithelium and pseudo-stratified columnar epithelium lining its interior. Histochemical examinations demonstrated a high reaction to alcian blue, resulting in the production of a blue color. Furthermore, these samples had a favorable response to the PAS stain, which can be attributed to the existence of mucopolysaccharides and carbohydrates in the cartilage.
Numerical study of quantum many body systems
Authors: Hu Haoran
Published: December 2024

This paper explores the numerical study of quantum many-body systems with an emphasis on exact diagonalization techniques. The complexity of strongly correlated systems, often governed by large Hilbert spaces, presents significant computational challenges, making exact solutions difficult. In this work, we examine methods to simplify these systems by leveraging techniques such as the Schrieffer-Wolff transformation, which decouples high-energy and low-energy states, and the use of symmetry operators to block-diagonalize Hamiltonians and so on. These approaches are demonstrated with examples such as the hydrogen atom and a lambda system. The second part of the paper focuses on specific case studies, including a one-dimensional spin model and Bose-Hubbard model. The latter is crucial for understanding the behavior of interacting bosons in lattice systems and phenomena such as the superfluid-Mott insulator transition. We present a detailed investigation of the phase diagram for the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model using both exact diagonalization and mean field theory, providing insights into its quantum phase transitions. This study underscores the potential of exact diagonalization in quantum simulations and highlights its relevance for experimental setups involving trapped ions and superconducting qubits.
