Published: May 2023

Nowadays, the problems of enhancing professional competence of future professionals, their training for future activities in the current socio-economic conditions are extremely urgent. Exploration of higher education standards applied in recent years reveals a significant increase in the requirements for foreign language knowledge gained by non-linguistic students. In terms of intensive cooperation with foreign partners, it is extremely important to be able to communicate with foreign colleagues. Therefore, one of the core elements of lawyers’ professional competence is the ability to speak a foreign language at the level that is accessible for perception by a recipient. That is why teaching a foreign language as a means of communication in the future professional activity should be a priority goal of teachers. Thus, the formation of foreign language professional communicative competence of lawyers required for the use and analysis of foreign language information and data is an actual goal of the modern high school.

The aim of the research is to specify the role of foreign language for the development of lawyers’ professional communicative competence.

It should be noted that the formation of professional skills of students in the process of learning foreign languages will be effective if the current level of personal development is taken into consideration as well as the prospects for professional development, possible communication difficulties are anticipated and prevented by means of adequate tasks for group and individual work, systematic activities aimed at developing motivation and reasoning of joint decisions are organized.

So, we can conclude that professionally-oriented teaching of a foreign language enables to organize active cooperation of all participants of the communication, which ensures mutual exchange of authentic, professionally meaningful information in a foreign language and mastering skills of professional communication. Professionally-oriented teaching English to law students at non-linguistic universities should be organized considering professional specifics. One of the most important elements of professional competence of future specialists is a good command of foreign language. Peculiarities of the formation of professional skills of future lawyers in the process of learning foreign languages are studied in the article. The stages of learning a foreign language and key communication qualities and competences formed in a specialist while studying foreign languages are analyzed.

Systemic Operational Design – a study in failed concept
Authors: Przybyło Łukasz
Published: May 2023

One of the many reasons for the failure of the Israel Defence Forces’ (IDF) in the Second Lebanon War was the concept of Systemic Operational Design (SOD), translated into de facto military doctrine. The story of the rise and fall of the SOD idea is a warning sign for all militaries faced with “modern” and “fashionable” ideas. The purpose of this paper is therefore to describe and evaluate the Systemic Operational Design created and introduced into the IDF by Brigadier General Shimon Naveh and the Operational Theory Research Institute (OTRI). The study is based on the literature created by the State of Israel, the IDF, and its main proponent Shimon Naveh, as well as other militaries (mainly the US Army). This theoretical background is confronted with the IDF’s operations during the Second Lebanon War of 2006 and their effects on the war’s outcome. The over intellectualised, ambiguous, and not properly
structured concept of the SOD, introduced as the IDF’s doctrine and approach to operations, led to military failure (which also had more root causes) in Lebanon. A study of the SOD failure should lead to a careful approach being taken to all new military concepts and ideas. Both change and continuation need to be properly balanced and evaluated, while enhanced military effectiveness could be of great value. At the same time, the impact of concepts which are not well anchored in military science/history and untested, like the SOD, could be devastating for militaries.

Published: May 2023

The goal of this paper is to share a sociological framework for understanding social justice activism with the intention of improving efficacy of architects’ efforts in addressing contentious social issues. The paper draws on recent sociological scholarship on professions and social movements, which give us new ways of thinking about our agency in affecting social change within and beyond the profession. The paper presents emerging themes based on participant observation and unstructured interviews conducted over the past two years, focused on contemporary activism in architecture. We high-light how professionals use their material resources (design expertise and practice) and their symbolic resources (status in socio-economic, political, and cultural systems) in different forms of contentious political engagement. We offer a socio-logical framework for distinguishing between ways architects use their work and status in their efforts to achieve social and professional change. The analysis offered in this paper is intended to offer politically-engaged architects (professionals, educators, and students) a framework to assist in their efforts toward shaping equity and justice outcomes for the field and for society.
Willingness to Invest in a Carbon and Water Neutral Future: Mobilizing Community Decision-Making and Anchoring Bias
Authors:   University of Arizona, Crosson Courtney
Published: May 2023

This paper extends the heavily studied heuristic of anchoring bias to citizens’ willingness to invest in the sustainable infra-structural improvements in transportation, energy, and water necessary to achieve carbon and water neutrality in their city. A public-private-academic partnership formed between GLHN Architects & Engineers; City and County staffs; and university Bachelors of Architecture students used quantitative analysis and design inquiry to create augmented virtual realities (VR) and rendered visions of a carbon and water neutral future in Tucson, Arizona in 2050. This paper analyzes the results from three evaluation tools that measured over 200 citizens’ willingness to invest in this future after experiencing these new anchoring images and virtual realities: (1) verbal survey, (2) tactile graph, and (3) visual maps. The paper concludes that the introduction of new anchoring images can positively impact citizens’ willingness to invest in the necessary retrofits in transportation, energy, and water infrastructure for a carbon and water neutral future.
Isochronic Mountain: Mapping, Modeling, and Materializing Urban Inequities
Authors:   Woodbury University School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Stein Joshua G.
Published: May 2023

The Isochronic Mountain project is a series of “landscape” models that offer the public a physical manifestation of the invisible infrastructures and inequities that shape everyday life in their contemporary cities, refiguring and recasting the sprawl of the global city through the historical technique of ceramic casting. These mountains render GIS and demographic data apprehensible and productive inside contemporary debates concerning the right to the city. Specifically, by visualizing time spent on public transit as the z-height, the Isochronic Mountains offer an intuitive understanding of the “uphill climb” necessary to move through the city without a car.

SMALL DIMENSIONS, BIG IMPACT: Transformative-Furniture as a Platform for Community Cooperation and Learning
Authors:   The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hwang Cheng-Chun Patrick
Published: May 2023

The compact city land-use policy of Hong Kong is recognized globally as a successful case behind the principles of transit-oriented development and high-density living. Its urbanistic implementation has been footnoted for contributing to a number of admirable indices and measurements: from low carbon footprint per capita to an efficient and viable transit network system (Figure 1 & 2). It is also credited for protecting much of its Country Parks from real estate encroachment. However, realizing such densification is not without its compromises. The concentrated development has contributed to a dismal dwelling area with soaring real-estate prices. Such constriction has enticed homeowners to partition standard apartments into Subdivided Units (SDUs) directly profiting from those liv-ing on the fringe and indirectly propelled the issue of housing injustice into the public discourse (Figure 2).

Authors: Myznikova Irene A. , Stepkin Yuriy I. , Nenakhov Ivan G.
Published: May 2023

Introduction: Hygienic education and training of the population are the mechanisms of interaction with the population of the Russian Federation recognized by the scientific community, contributing to the improvement of the culture of health in the society, the level of which has an impact on the sanitary and epidemiological situation and demographic indicators of the country. One of the most important components of hygiene training nowadays is the procedure of occupational hygiene training and certification aimed at constant improvement of the level and quality of knowledge in the field of hygiene and epidemiology among employees of epidemiologically significant facilities. Objective: To consider prerequisites for the development of the system of hygienic training in the Russian Federation and to substantiate the importance of maintaining occupational hygiene training and certification in view of the experience gained. Materials and methods: We have searched Scopus, Web of Science, CyberLeninka, RSCI, and eLIBRARY.RU for recent papers with the non-zero Hirsch index (h-index) and/or the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI) using the following keywords: health education, hygienic education, and hygienic upbringing. We then selected 45 materials published in 1997–2022 (60 % of them – over the past five years) and containing the above keywords in the title. Results: The article considers historical aspects of the development of such methods of disease prevention as health education accompanying the formation of the sanitary and epidemiological service in the country. It shows that the pivotal points contributing to further legislative regulation of occupational hygiene training and certification in Russia were such historical milestones as wartime and urbanization, which entailed so-called “public health crises”. It also substantiates the relevance of the currently existing system of occupational hygiene training and certification, describing its further development paths determined with account for digitalization of the information space in the Russian Federation, and of implementation of specific tasks aimed at improving the demographic situation in the country.

Published: May 2023

The article defines the influence of the traction resistance of the machine-tractor unit working tool on the weight distribution of the tractor along the running system axles. Depending on the type of field work, the resistance force of tools aggregated with a tractor has a different value, accordingly, the tractor has a different weight distribution along the axles and, thus, different ground pressure. An increase in pressure on the soil leads to additional costs for tillage, and in the future to a decrease in agricultural production efficiency. The article presents a mathematical model for determining the reactions of the soil, and, accordingly, the pressure of tractor engines on the ground, depending on the structural parameters of the tractor, its adequacy estimation, and an example of calculating the weight distribution along the tractor axles.

Published: May 2023

Acid mine drainage is mining waste that contains a lot of sulfate and heavy metals such as Fe and Mn which can cause environmental damage and pollute the ecosystem, therefore it needs to be managed. One way to manage acid mine drainage is with phytoremediation techniques using Purun tikus (Eleocharis dulcis). The ability of Purun tikus to accumulate heavy metals can be known by calculating the bio-concentration factor (BCF) and tranclocation factor (TF). This study aims to determine the value of bio concentration factor (BCF) and tranclocation factor (TF) in rat purun in absorbing Fe and Mn so that it can be used for coal mine acid water management. Sampling was conducted using Convenience sampling method. Analysis of Fe, Mn, BCF and TF levels was carried out using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. In the study, the bio concentration factor (BCF) value for Fe was 7.53, and for Mn was 30.09. While the value of the tranclocation factor (TF) for Fe is 0.77 or the value of TF less than 1, this indicates that rat Purun in accumulating Fe metal uses a phytostabilization mechanism. Then the tranclocation factor (TF) value for Mn is 1.44 or TF value more than 1, indicating that in accumulating Mn metal, Purun rats use a phytoextraction mechanism.

Influential Factors between the Primacy of Roman Church and the Origin of Sunday
Authors: Zebedeus Davied Yosua Abraham
Published: May 2023

The debate between the mysterious rise of Sunday observance and the church dominance in the Roman empire throughout the Ante-Nicene period appeared as an emerging discourse in regard to the Sabbath adherence. The historical background has been capable of analyzing the supposed relation between the two when the Christian beliefs gradually developed. The connection would seem to bring relevant ramifications to today’s theological understanding as far as observing the Sabbath or Sunday is concerned. The significant factors between the beginning of Sunday and the supremacy of the Roman church appeared to be intertwined and fused in the early church era. While many other events have circulated the social and religious cultures in Rome, the factors below indicate and strengthen the relationship between both church primacy and Sunday origin in history through a documentary research method. The time of the early church in this discussion is delimited around the year 100 up to 313 AD. Though the focus not only touches on one particular reason as to why Sunday replaced Sabbath, the research questions comprise of how the pre-eminence of papal supremacy took place and why the Sunday worship has seemed to alter the Sabbath observance since then.

However, the movement of Ugamo Malim was not ended after independence but continually recently. Therefore, this research tries to clarify the purpose of the establishment of the Ugamo Malim movement in Batak lands and the important things that we can learn from this movement as Christians. In order to get the clarification of this movement the author uses qualitative research by using documentary research analysis of Batak’s literature regarding the movement of Ugamo Malim and compare it to the Biblical principles.  As the result the study found that before the colonialism Ugama Malim was existed as the way to have a pure life, however when colonialist came the purpose of this movement became formed as a movement in against the colonization and their religion which was brought to Batak Land. For today, the purpose of Ugamo Malim is to conserve the Batak’s culture, ceremonies, and practices in Batak’s Land. Although Ugamo Malim and Biblical principles is different, however there are several similarities in beliefs and practices such as worship God as they called “Mula Jadi Nabolon” (the creator), the day of worship is Saturday, forbidden eating blood and several unclean food as written in the Leviticus 11.  Therefore, the main purpose of the movement of Ugamo Malim was to reach the pure life but it developed due to the coming of colonialism and modernity.
High-Dimensional Expensive Optimization by Classification-based Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithm with Dimensionality Reduction
Authors: Yuma Horaguchi , Nakata Masaya
Published: May 2023

Surrogate-assisted multiobjective evolutionary algorithms (SAMOEAs) are a promising approach for solving expensive multiobjective optimization problems (EMOPs), wherein the number of function evaluations is extremely restricted due to expensive-to-evaluate objective functions. However, most SAEAs are not well-scaled to high-dimensional problems because the accuracy of surrogate models degrades as the problem dimension increases. This paper proposes a dimensionality reduction-based SAEA, which involves the following two strategies to address high-dimensional EMOPs. First, mapping high-dimensional training samples to a low dimensional space in building surrogate models can boost the accuracy of surrogate models. Second, compared to approximation-based surrogate models, reliable classification-based models can be obtained under a few training samples. Accordingly, the proposed algorithm is designed to integrate a dimensionality reduction technique into an existing classification-based SAEA, MCEA/D. It builds classification models in low-dimensional spaces and then utilizes these models to estimate good solutions without expensive function evaluations. Experimental results statistically confirm that the proposed algorithm derives state of-the-art performance in many experimental cases.

In this paper, we propose an adjacent-scale fusion 2.5D U-Net with large-kernel (ASF-LKUNet) for multi-class medical image segmentation tasks. To reduce model complexity, we utilize a u-shaped encoder-decoder as the base architecture of ASF-LKUNet. In the encoder path, we design the large-kernel residual block, which combines the large and small kernels and can simultaneously capture the global and local features while retaining the advantages of ViT. Furthermore, we develop an adjacent-scale GRN channel attention mechanism that incorporates the low-level details with the high-level semantics by fusing the feature of adjacent scales. The adaptive fusion is implemented by the improved large-kernel channel attention based on global response normalization (GRN). In ASF-LKUNet, all the large-kernel apply depth-wise convolutions to further reduce the complexity. Our proposed method is compared with ten other methods, including those based on UNets, multi-scale fusion, 3D CNN, and ViTs. Extensive experiments of performance and interpretability analysis show that ASF-LKUNet outperforms various competing methods with less model complexity on different medical applications, including multi-organ segmentation in CT images and cardiac multi-structure segmentation in MRI images.

In recent years, drones have been increasingly adopted in firefighting operations to enhance the safety and efficiency of firefighters. Firefighting drones are unmanned aerial vehicles that are equipped with advanced sensors and cameras that can detect, monitor and map wildfires from above. They can also provide real-time data on fire behaviour, weather conditions, and other critical information to help firefighters make informed decisions in their efforts to contain and extinguish fires. This paper provides an overview of firefighting drones with fire extinguisher balls, their applications, and their potential impact on modern firefighting operations. We examine the capabilities of drones in detecting, monitoring, and extinguishing fires, and discuss the benefits and limitations of using drones in firefighting. The paper also highlights some of the challenges associated with drone use, including regulatory, technical, and ethical issues, and provides recommendations for the future of this technology in firefighting. Overall, this paper underscores the need for continued research and development of firefighting drones to fully harness their potential in modern firefighting. 
A Multidimensional Structural Channel Similarity Index Measure Across Multiple Frequencies

Published: May 2023

To meet the required coverage and data rate demands of next-generation mobile communications, the coexistence of multiple radio frequency systems operating in well-separated frequency bands in precisely identified scenarios will be exploited in the long term. In this context, it is necessary to investigate frequency-dependent and environment-dependent channel characteristics by exploring the spatial and temporal correlations of multipath channels across different frequency bands and different environments. Traditional evaluation indexes, such as channel parameters and correlation coefficients, either do not enable direct derivation of the relationship between two channels or can only be evaluated from a certain dimension mathematically. Here, by combining large-scale and small-scale channel characteristics, a channel similarity index measure (CSIM) is proposed. This structural similarity index comprehensively considers several multipath parameters of two different channels, including amplitude, phase, delay, angle of arrival (AoA), and angle of departure (AoD). The results of ray tracing simulations and field measurement campaigns conducted across both centimeter wave (cmWave) and millimeter wave (mmWave) bands in typical indoor and outdoor scenarios verify that the proposed CSIM can effectively measure similarity from specific dimensions. Moreover, the statistical distributions of the CSIM, which reflect the similarities between channels of different frequencies, are also presented.

Autisme, anorexia en sociaal kijkpatroon
Authors: Scheeren Anke
Published: May 2023

Mensen met autisme hebben een groter risico op een eetstoornis of kenmerken daarvan dan mensen zonder autisme. Zo blijkt uit onderzoek dat ongeveer een kwart van autistische vrouwen een klinisch niveau van een eetstoornis rapporteert. Andersom wordt hetzelfde patroon gezien: mensen met anorexia rapporteren gemiddeld meer autistische kenmerken dan mensen zonder anorexia. Het is nog onduidelijk of die autistische kenmerken van anorexia een gevolg zijn van uithongering, of ook aanwezig blijven na herstel. Sommige studies laten een verbetering zien in cognitieve fl exibiliteit en sociaal functioneren na herstel van anorexia.
