Experimental Determination of the Relationship between Soil Structure Parameters and Indicators of Water Saturation and Filtration
Authors: Lukyanchuk Olexander
Published: August 2023

Modern climatic changes, in particular, changes in the amount and intensity of soil moisture (precipitation regime), have a significant impact on the water-physical properties of mineral soils. The state of soil’s solid phase and the mutual arrangement of its structural particles can be considered as the most significant factor for soil properties. Due to the structure of the soil, it is possible to influence the uniformity of the distribution of water in the soil sample not only in the vertical direction, but, partially, also in the horizontal direction, which will allow to resolve the issue of local flooding of individual areas and the bearing capacity of mineral soils. For the analysis of changes in the water-physical properties of the soil environment, the soil was considered as a homogeneous in density and continuous environment formed by a set of separate structural aggregates connected by cohesive forces. Based on the experimental results of the physical modelling, it was determined that the presence of structural soil macroaggregates with a size of 4 to 6 mm is the most appropriate for slowing down the vertical filtration of water saturating the lower soil layers, and the formation of structural soil macroaggregates of size larger than 6 to 10 mm for the predominant types of soils is necessary to increase the vertical filtration. Due to the size of the formed macroaggregates, it is possible to predict a change in the water-physical parameters of the soil, which then can be used for the assessment of the calculated characteristics of the soil environment.

Understanding Spatial Cognition for Designing Pedestrian Wayfinding Systems
Authors: Costa Bomfim Lara , Santos Cruz Sara
Published: August 2023

Individuals react differently when moving in urban spaces, as their senses are distinctively activated. Their interpretations and how the built environment is perceived result in different meanings. When studying public spaces, it is of utmost importance to understand how residents and visitors construct images of the city, by perceiving and appropriating urban spaces. In particular, this is decisive when designing Pedestrian Wayfinding Systems (PWS) in urban areas.

Based on spatial cognition studies, this paper identifies and explores the main aspects influencing the design of wayfinding systems. The study is structured in three main parts. First, the article reviews literature on spatial cognition and human behaviors. Second, it analyzes some reference cases considered good practices for PWS, their implementation in contemporary public spaces, and their visual and aesthetic forms of expression. Third, it develops a practical guide for designing a PWS focused on end-users. More specifically, the research aims to support the municipality of Porto in defining the tender specifications for the development of a PWS, to be included in the future Integrated Signage and Information System.

Ultimately, this study proposes recommendations to improve pedestrian navigation in the urban context and help decision-makers, designers, and urban planners potentially create better wayfinding systems in the future.

Authors: Mansour Hasan , Alves Fernando Brandão , Costa António Ricardo da
Published: August 2023

Despite the inherently dynamic nature of the urban identity concept and its interconnections among various academic disciplines, including philosophy, psychology, environmental studies, and urbanism, the term is employed in distinct contexts within each field. This divergence in usage has resulted in ambiguity and a lack of clarity regarding the meaning of urban identity.
This research aims to scrutinize the existing literature on identity and urban identity across various scientific disciplines, reaching a better understanding of the term.
As a methodological approach, we undertake a systematic analysis of the theoretical debate to identify and comprehend the descriptive and analytical perspectives on identity and urban identity concepts, the evaluation processes of urban identity, and the identification of primary debates, issues, and related gaps. The findings of this research will facilitate a more comprehensive understanding of the urban identity concept and its identification, thereby contributing to the evolution of academic research on urban identity.

Analyzing the Relationship Between Public Debt and Poverty Reduction in Developing Countries: An Empirical Study
Authors: Fayzullokh Sattoriy , Barnogul Sanakulova , Dinara Abdikarimova , Sardor Kayumov
Published: August 2023

Purpose: The goal of this current research is to investigate the link between public debt and poverty reduction in developing countries. The study aims to examine the influence of public debt on poverty reduction while considering other contributing factors such as economic growth, population, inflation, human development index, and institutional quality.
 
Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework of this research on the impact of public debt on poverty reduction in developing countries is grounded in two key theories: Debt Overhang Theory and Fiscal Space and Poverty Reduction theories.  The first theory posits that high levels of public debt can lead to negative consequences for economic growth and poverty reduction. The second theory emphasizes the importance of fiscal space in poverty reduction efforts. Fiscal space refers to the financial resources available for a government to fund public goods and services without jeopardizing debt sustainability.
 
Method/design/approach: In this research, a panel data approach is utilized to investigate the correlation between public debt and poverty reduction in developing countries. The panel dataset encompasses a 21-year period, from 2000 to 2021, and includes data from 20 developing countries.
 
Results and conclusion: The study shows that public debt has a significant and positive correlation with poverty, indicating that high levels of public debt can lead to an increase in poverty in developing countries.
 
Research implications: Because high levels of public debt can lead to an increase in poverty in developing countries, countries need to exercise caution when taking on debt and prioritize debt sustainability to avoid negative effects on poverty levels. In contrast, economic growth and human development have a significant and negative correlation with poverty, suggesting that these factors can contribute to poverty reduction in developing countries.
 
Originality/value: The analysis highlights the complex relationship between public debt and poverty reduction in developing countries. Although the results are mixed, they emphasize the need for policymakers to adopt a comprehensive approach to poverty reduction that addresses not only reducing public debt but also promoting economic growth, enhancing institutional quality, and addressing other poverty-contributing factors.

Ethnos with Turkish Ancestry in the Toponymic Background of the Territory of Azerbaijan
Authors: Babayev Natig Gubad , Imrani Zaur Tahir , Zakirova Aynur Ramazan
Published: August 2023

Objective: Research shows that parallel toponyms exist in different types of toponymy, including oikonymy, oronymy, and hydronymy. Comparative analysis of parallel toponyms reveals that the people's ethnic origin, household, economic activity, and other areas are reflected here. Agriculture, cattle breeding, primarily sheep and horse breeding, crafts, and other fields had a special place in the life of the Turkic peoples. The mentioned economic fields are also of some importance in the toponymy of Azerbaijan. The large number of toponymic parallels of Azerbaijan and other Turkic-speaking countries once again proves the settlement of Turkic-speaking peoples in these areas since ancient times.
 
Method: Every event or object can be studied from a certain point of view, which reflects the ultimate task of cognition. In the research process, certain concepts were clarified by using analysis and synthesis methods.
 
Results: Examining the dictionary of geographical names of Turkic-speaking countries, information books, maps, and other materials shows that the toponyms of the countries of the Turkic world correspond to each other according to their linguistic affiliation, origin, and meaning. It is known that each of the Turkic peoples has its own ethnic name and language.
 
Conclusions: Examining the residing areas of Turkic-speaking peoples elucidates that unlike peoples of Indo-European origin who settled in different continents, Turks live in the areas where they historically lived. These areas mainly cover a large extent, including some parts of the Asian continent, southeastern Europe, the northern part of the Caucasus, the South Caucasus, and South Azerbaijan. The units involved in the processes of the generation of names in the Azerbaijani system of toponyms are different, and this difference is clearly manifested. Toponyms are created gradually and in a consistent manner. When giving a geographic name to any object, all aspects of the language to which the name belongs are carefully contemplated. In this case, when conducting research on the origin of a toponym, it becomes easier and more reliable to find out to which language the object belongs. Research conducted for many years shows that most toponyms in the region, as well as paleotoponyms, are of ancient Turkish-Azerbaijani origin. These geographical names occupy a vital place in the toponymic stratification of Azerbaijan.

Objective: The objective of the study is to carry out a bibliographical review to understand the hydrological cycle and the importance of care of water for the maintenance of water resources and biodiversity in the pursuit of sustainability for present and future generations.   Theoretical framework: Water is essential for human consumption, crop irrigation, animal watering, industrial production, energy generation and maintenance of biodiversity. However, water resources have been suffering anthropic pressures that affect the availability of water in quality and quantity, directly inferring sustainability.   Method: This is a qualitative narrative review of the literature about the importance of water for the sustainability of life. The research was carried out through online access to Google Scholar databases, during the months of October to November 2021.   Results and conclusion: The availability of water in quantity for its multiple users is not enough. The compression of relationship between water and the sustainability of life and ecosystems in general is necessary. Therefore, more than monitoring is raising awareness among the population, recognizing water as an essential element for social, economic and environmental sustainability.   Originality/value: Study that relates the importance of water and the hydrological cycle for the sustainability of life, providing solid bases for knowledge and awareness of the importance of care and preservation, contextualizing from a systemic and multidisciplinary view.
Stakeholders Mapping in Election Management in West Nusa Tenggara Province
Authors: Agus
Published: August 2023

Purpose: This study aims to analyze stakeholder mapping as a model for strengthening the role of stakeholders in election management. This model explores the success of election management using a collaborative approach between election management bodies, namely the General Election Commission, the Election Supervisory Body, and election stakeholders.
 
Method: The object of study is limited to the 2019 elections in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Province. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. The findings of the research show that the stakeholders collaborating in election management are mapped using the hepta-helix model, namely the collaboration model of seven stakeholders: (1) the election management body; (2) the government; (3) the business world; (4) NGOs; (5) mass media; (6) universities; and (7) political parties.
 
Results and Conclusions: This finding proves that election management has implemented the concept of collaborative governance. Nonetheless, collaborative governance in election management does not place all collaborative actors in decision-making. Specifically for the decision-making stage, this is the function of the election management body, while other actors function as a support system in the management of election management. The weakness of collaborative election management practices is that the categories and functions of each actor as a stakeholder have not been mapped.
 
Research implications:  This study recommends that the application of the collaborative governance model in election management should be preceded by the preparation of stakeholder mapping into the main, key, and secondary stakeholder categories with their respective functional roles.
 
Originality/value: The findings of stakeholder mapping in election management emphasize that the application of the concept of collaborative governance from Anssel and Gash which is well established in the science of public administration will only be successful if it is supported by stakeholder mapping initiated by Grimble and Wellard, as well as the election stakeholder model initiated by Allen Wall.

Published: August 2023

Introduction: When Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic was declared, West Visayas State University-Himamaylan City Campus opted to adopt flexible learning to continue the learning of tertiary education students at home by using Modular Distance Learning to accommodate students living in far-flung areas without internet access. This study aimed to discover the Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEEd) students' coping strategies and insights into using modular distance learning modality. 
 
Theoretical framework: This qualitative study is anchored on constructionism. The fundamental assumption of constructionism that reality is constructed which means reality is not an ontologically objective, given reality. Human invents models, concepts, and schemes to better understand or make sense with the experience and continually test and modify these constructed reality with the new experience. Humans do not construct interpretation separately, but with careful consideration of the shared practices and understanding.
 
Methodology: Data were gathered using the qualitative phenomenological approach by conducting two semi-structured interviews with ten (10) Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEEd) university students. Participants were selected using the purposive sampling method, specifically the criterion sampling method. Thematic Analysis was done using NVIVO to analyze the data collected.
 
Results and discussion: It was discovered that students built various coping strategies like motivating themselves to survive, taking a break after stressful days, praying to conquer difficulties, trusting God`s plan, setting up schedules to manage time effectively, and collaborating with friends and classmates to understand the complex lesson better. Appreciating the value and elements of traditional learning and realizing that everything they do is for the love is self, dreams, and family are two important insights for the students.
 
Conclusion: Teachers may foster an environment that promotes self-motivation among students. Students may recognize their strengths, set goals, find intrinsic motivation, and develop a positive mindset to succeed academically. The school may organize activities to further enhance the spirit of collaboration, perseverance, and resilience among students.
