Published: October 2023

The interface between Decision Support Systems (DSS) and Geographical Information Sys-tems (GIS) generates Spatial Decision Support Systems (SDSS) which aid in the deci-sion-making process, particularly in situations where spatial attributes play a pivotal role in achieving accurate conclusions. By integrating conventional decision criteria with spatial crite-ria and visualization through the adoption of SDSS and geographic information systems tech-nologies, a comprehensive analysis is ensured. The primary aim of this research is to exemplify an application of SDSS to support analyses and decisions on a specific issue in Public Health. The focus lies on assessing cities within the state of Pernambuco (Brazil) that exhibit the high-est rates of maternal mortality. This approach promises to offer valuable insights and aid in making informed decisions to address critical maternal health issues in the region.

Published: October 2023

Цель статьи – рассмотреть субсидиарную ответственность контролирующих лиц в контексте принципа правовой определенности. Использовались анализ, индукция, формально-юридический метод. В ре- зультате авторы приходят к выводу о том, что рассмотренный институт в ряде случаев не соответствует принци- пу правовой определенности, что подтверждается безграничным расширением перечня контролирующих лиц, кардинально изменяющейся судебной практикой в короткий промежуток времени, а также чрезмерной дискре- цией судов. Значимость статьи обусловлена выработанными предложениями, направленными на обеспечение последовательности применения субсидиарной ответственности контролирующих лиц.

The purpose of the article is to consider subsidiary liability of controlling persons in the context of the principle of legal certainty. Analysis, induction, and the formal legal method were used. As a result, the authors come to the conclusion that the institution under consideration in some cases does not comply with the principle of legal certainty, which is confirmed by the unlimited expansion of the list of controlling persons, radically changing judicial practice in a short period of time, as well as excessive discretion of the courts. The significance of the article is due to the developed proposals aimed at ensuring consistency in the application of subsidiary liability of controlling persons.
Convergencias entre la Doctrina Social de la Iglesia y el Trabajo Social en Cuba. Una aproximación desde la comunicación de bien público
Authors: Hernández Alfonso Eduardo Alejandro , Castellanos Machado Caridad , Paz Enrique Luis Ernesto
Published: October 2023

La Iglesia Católica en Cuba, guiada por los principios emanados desde la Santa Sede y la Doctrina Social de la Iglesia, desarrolla su acción social y de evangelización adaptada a las particularidades de la nación y su cultura. No obstante, se enfrenta a considerables desafíos en su labor comunicativa debido a la infraestructura limitada de Internet y las restricciones vigentes en el acceso a la información en línea en el país. Ante esta situación, ha empleado alternativas donde destaca la plataforma YouTube y el diseño de mensajes concisos para acceder a una audiencia más amplio. Esta adaptación hacia contenido fácilmente compartible en línea facilita la difusión de sus mensajes religiosos, valores y principios cristianos en la población cubana. Por otra parte, la regulación gubernamental de los medios constituye un obstáculo considerable para la Iglesia católica en su esfuerzo por transmitir mensajes de manera sistemática. A partir de la situación anterior se plantea como objetivos del presente estudio: 1) identificar los fundamentos teórico-conceptuales de la Doctrina Social de la Iglesia y el Trabajo Social 2) diagnosticar la comunicación de bien público que produce la Iglesia católica cubana en la plataforma Youtube donde se reflejan dicha cuestión. La investigación clasifica como descriptiva con aporte teórico y se vale de métodos tanto teóricos como empíricos, destacando el análisis documental clásico y el análisis de contenido. Se concluye que la comunicación de bien público se ha convertido en una vía alternativa para el anuncio del mensaje de la iglesia, sus valores y acción social. Sin embargo, el diseño de mensajes basados en postulados netamente empíricos limita su interpretación e impacto en una audiencia tanto católica como laica.

Published: October 2023

Improving the quality of education is important that the human resources produced are of good quality. However, the quality of education in Indonesia needs attention because it can be seen from the large number of unemployed, dominated by vocational school graduates, namely 10.38%. Conditions that were not much different were also seen in Grobogan Regency, where the number of A-accredited vocational schools only reached 13.79%, meaning that the quality of education in this area needs to be improved. This research aimed to reveal the impact of teacher certification, academic supervision, and teaching infrastructure on the quality of education toward the quality of learning in vocational schools around Grobogan Regency. A total of 93 vocational school teachers were selected as research samples based on Slovin's calculations. Data obtained from filling out questionnaires by respondents were analyzed using path analysis and Sobel test. The research results showed that there was a direct impact of teacher certification, academic supervision, and teaching infrastructure on the quality of learning. Not much different, teacher certification, academic supervision, infrastructure, and quality of learning also have a direct impact on the quality of education. Based on the Sobel test calculations, there was an indirect impact of teacher certification, academic supervision, and teaching infrastructure on the quality of education toward the quality of learning. The implication was that improving the quality of education can be done by increasing the quantity and quality of teacher certification, implementing optimal supervision by school principals, and providing adequate infrastructure then it can support a quality learning process.

Authors: . Sisca , . Dwijanto , Suminar Tri
Published: October 2023

Based on the pre-research activities covering interviews, observation and data documentation which were conducted in the fifth-grade of State Elementary School Pandeanlamper 05 Semarang (SD Negeri Pandeanlamper 05 Semarang), it was found that students encountered difficulty in comprehending and communicating mathematics questions, particularly with the measurement material. The underlying cause of this problem is the transition from online to offline learning. During the process of online learning, students tend to use gadgets, while during face-to-face learning, they do not. Moreover, students’ interest towards learning tends to decrease, because the modules used by the teachers are still limited and not various. Teachers have not integrated technology into learning activities optimally, which is supposed to be implemented to succeed in the improvement of students' mathematical communication skills in elementary school. Therefore, this research aims to develop and examine the effectiveness of developing a think-pair-share cooperative learning-based e-book module for mathematics subject in improving students’ mathematical communication for the fifth-grade students of SDN Pandeanlamper 05 Semarang. This research used the research and development (R&D) method and adapted the ADDIE model postulated by Branch. The instrument of data collection of this research was validation sheet questionnaires that were given to several expert validators, and the effectiveness tests were conducted in the control class and experimental class. The results of analysis from the media expert, material expert, and learning expert were obtained through the analysis of the quantitative data by using criteria guidelines with the assessment categories to determine the quality of the product that was being developed and to examine its effectiveness by using the independent sample t-test. The validation result taken from the media expert obtained a percentage score of 92% which can be categorized as "very feasible", the result taken from the material expert obtained a percentage score of 94,3% which can be categorized as "very feasible", and the result taken from learning expert obtained a percentage score of 95% which can be categorized as "very feasible", and also the result of t-test showed that the significance value of two-tailed test with t < 0,05 has a meaning that H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. Based on the collected data, it can be concluded that a think-pair-share cooperative learning-based e-book module in improving the students' mathematical communication skills of the fifth-grade students of SDN Pandeanlamper 05 Semarang is feasible to be used.

Authors: A.C. Osigwe , O.G. Okungbowa , A.M. Rafiu
Published: October 2023

The Niger Delta region of Nigeria is home to oil and gas exploration in Nigeria, and thus the mainstay of the economy. It comprises nine states of the Federation with a total population of 42.65 million people. According to the World Bank, oil accounts for 40% of Nigeria’s GDP, 70% of federal government revenues, and 95% foreign exchange earnings. Despite the economic benefit of the region, the adverse effect of oil exploration activities in the region poses socioeconomic challenges for the people. Our analyses identified some of the challenges to include: environmental degradation, high poverty levels, spiraling armed conflicts, poor infrastructure, and widespread unemployment, amongst others. This study discusses the extant legal frameworks aimed at addressing Niger Delta problems, and identified some gaps. Consequently, we proffered recommendations for the consideration of the National Assembly as follows: (1) The National Assembly should utilize its investigative hearing instrument to determine the level of compliance with the Nigerian Content Development Monitoring Board Act, 2010, and the Niger Delta Development Commission Act, 2000 in order to ensure that they fulfil their respective mandates. (2) The legislators from the Niger Delta Region should organize sensitization workshop for community leaders and youth groups on the benefit in working together to support NCDMB in realizing the objectives for which it was established, which can reduce the level of unemployment in the region. (3) The legislators from the region should call on the executive to expedite actions on cleaning up of the Ogoni community and other exploration-ravaged communities in the region, to address the problem of environmental degradation. (4) The National Assembly should investigate the activities and operations of JTF through oversight function to curb their excesses. This study concludes that the collaboration of all stakeholders in the Niger Delta region is necessary to accelerate the socioeconomic development of the region.

Authors: Filipenco Serghei
Published: October 2023

The Dubasari reservoir is located on the river Nistru, while the Kuchurgan reservoir is a lake type and serves as a cooling reservoir for the Moldovan Thermal Power Plant. Reservoir zoobenthos is mainly formed of thermophilous Palearctic species of the Holarctic region (mainly oligochaetes and chironomids), including PontoCaspian relicts (polychaetes, higher crustaceans, and mollusks). There are 18 species of Ponto-Caspian relicts in the Dubasari reservoir and 25 species in the Kuchurgan reservoir. North American and Southeast Asian introduced species in the zoobenthos of the Dubasari reservoir are represented by one species, and in the Kuchurgan reservoir by three species. The most significant commonality (0,74 according to the Sorensen index) and similarity (0,59 according to the Jaccard index) of the species composition of zoobenthos are typical for the Ponto-Caspian fauna of reservoirs.
MODELING OF TEMPERATURE FIELDS AND GAS-DYNAMIC FLOWS IN THE ZONE OF PLACEMENT OF LITHIUM CERAMICS SAMPLES DURING TGA STUDIES

Published: October 2023

Modeling of thermogravimetric experiments is an essential tool for understanding the physical and chemical processes that occur during research. This approach helps improve data quality and gain a better understanding of what is going on during thermogravimetric analysis.

This paper describes the procedure for modeling a TGA experiment on a Mettler Toledo TGA/DSC 3+ gravimeter, which, together with a mass spectrometer, a humidity generator, and an analytical balance, is part of the TiGRа analytical complex (NNC RK, Kurchatov, Kazakhstan). A description is given of the problem of modeling heat transfer processes in a gravimeter, the process of mass transfer of the reaction gas and reaction products in the gravimeter chamber, as well as the processes of chemical interaction of lithium ceramics with the reaction gas during TGA experiments. Helium with an admixture of oxygen and water vapor was considered as the purge gas.

Calculations carried out using the developed model show that at a purge gas supply rate of 100 ml/s, the temperature gradient across the samples will be 2–2.5 ℃, and the gas velocity in the pebble bed will not exceed 0.5 mm/s. It has been established that the concentrations of CO2 carried away by the helium flow above the backfill and in the exit zone (in the sampling zone of the mass analyzer) at different temperatures can differ up to 22 times. Thus, using the developed model, it is possible to calculate the concentrations of CO2, CO, and H2 at any point of the thermogravimeter furnace directly above the test sample, inside and/or outside the pebble bed, in the area of the reaction mixture inlet and in the sampling area of the mass analyzer, etc. Also, if necessary, it is possible to determine the coefficients for recalculating concentrations in different sections of the pebble bed relative to the measured value. Using this model, it is possible to determine the parameters of chemical reactions – the initial concentration of carbon in the pebble bed, the activation energy of the reactions, and the concentration of O2 and H2O impurities in the purge helium, achieving the coincidence of the calculated and recorded curves using a mass analyzer. The developed model has a practical potential for further expansion of its analytical capabilities by refining the list of chemical reactions.

The production of the radiopharmaceutical “Sodium pertechnetate 99mTc, solution for injection” from the transported 99mTc generator is a complex multi-stage process that includes the collection and disposal of radioactive waste generated at various technological stages of production, as well as after the return of the generator used in clinics. Currently, natural molybdenum oxide is used for the development of the parent isotope 99Mo at the WWR-K reactor, but as the need for 99mTc generators in Kazakhstan increases, the question arises about the use of expensive molybdenum oxide enriched with the isotope 98Mo, therefore, the task of regenerating irradiated molybdenum arises. The paper presents experimental data on the choice of an optimal leaching system for the isolation of molybdenum-98 from spent 99Mo/99mTc generators.

Detonation spraying is one of the most promising variants of thermal spraying for the deposition of wear-resistant coatings. This study aims to investigate the tribological properties of coatings deposited by the detonation method using WC-12%Co and Al2O3 as examples. These are two common coating materials widely used in wear resistant applications. A computerized detonation spraying system CCDS2000 (Computer-Controlled Detonation Spraying) was used for coating deposition. The roughness parameter of the WC-Co coating has a value of Ra = 3.95 μm and that of the Al2O3 coating has a value of Ra = 2.53 μm. To investigate the detonation coatings, the coating materials were characterized and microhardness measurements were carried out. Microhardness for stainless steel 12Х18Н10Т (AISI 321, 321H) – 392.32 Hv; for WC-12Co coating – 1332.3 Hv and Al2O3 – 805.50 Hv. By results of researches the greatest resistance to all kinds of wear has coatings WC-12%Co. Al2O3 coatings can also be recommended for operation under sliding wear conditions.
STUDY OF THE INFLUENCE OF MgO DOPING ON THE THERMOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF CERAMICS BASED ON LITHIUM METAZIRCONATE

Published: October 2023

The paper presents the results of studying the effect of doping with magnesium oxide (MgO) of lithium-containing ceramics based on lithium metazirconate (Li2ZrO3) on the change in the thermophysical parameters of ceramics. The method of mechanochemical synthesis followed by high-temperature annealing at a temperature of 1300 °C, used to initiate the processes of phase transformations from structural ordering, was chosen as the main method for obtaining ceramics, as well as for performing MgO doping processes. In the course of the studies, it was found that an increase in the concentration of the MgO dopant above 0.10 mol leads to the formation of impurity inclusions in the structure of ceramics in the form of a tetragonal phase MgLi2ZrO4, the content of which increases with an increase in the concentration of the dopant. In the case of a dopant concentration of 0.25 mol, the phase composition of ceramics is an equiprobable distribution of two phases, monoclinic Li2ZrO3 and tetragonal MgLi2ZrO4. In the course of measuring thermophysical parameters, it was found that the formation of the MgLi2ZrO4 phase in the composition of ceramics leads to an increase in the thermal conductivity by 5–10%, and in the case of an equiprobable distribution of phases in two-phase MgLi2ZrO4– Li2ZrO3 ceramics, the increase in thermal conductivity is more than 25% in comparison with undoped ceramics. An increase in the efficiency of heat-conducting properties for two-phase ceramics is due to an increase in the rate of phonon heat transfer due to additional interfacial boundaries, as well as an increase in the degree of structural ordering and density of ceramics.

In this work, the optical characteristics of an aluminum-magnesium spinel irradiated with 220 MeV Xe ions, which simulate the effect of nuclear fuel fission fragments were studied. During the experiments, the transmission spectra were measured in the IR region (240–12500) cm−1, the optical absorption spectra in the range (2–7) eV, the Raman spectra were measured by the ion penetration depth, from the surface to 30 µm. In the optical absorption spectrum (2–8) eV of irradiated spinel crystals, a wide complex band of radiation-induced absorption is observed with a peak in the region of 5.3 eV associated with electronic color centers of the F + and F type, and hole color centers are responsible for optical absorption at ~ (3–4) eV. In the near IR region, the crystal retains its transparency. In the Raman spectrum, in addition to the Raman modes characteristic of an ideal crystal, additional modes, A1g* (720 cm−1), and Eg* (385 cm−1), appear mainly in the form of an asymmetric shoulder of the main Eg mode. As the depth increases, the A1g*/Eg ratio increases, reaching a maximum value of 0.05 at 6 µm, and remains practically unchanged until the end of the Xe ion range of 14 µm, and with a further decrease to 0.045 at a depth of 30 µm. That is, when irradiated with 220 MeV Xe ions, cation mixing occurs along the ion path.

Activated carbon is often used as a carrier, in the manufacture of catalysts and as a sorbent in medicine and pharmaceuticals, as well as in the purification of natural and waste water from various compounds and the concentration of metal ions in the metallurgical industry. A variety of applications for activated carbon causes different requirements for it. The sorption, structural and textural characteristics predetermine the main properties of activated carbon. Improvement of any characteristics of activated carbons, in order to create materials with the required performance properties, is carried out by surface modification with various agents. In this work, liquid-phase oxidation of commercial activated carbon of the brand “BAU-A” with hydrochloric acid was carried out to improve its surface structure and morphology. The IR spectroscopy established oxygen-containing hydroxyl and phenolic, as well as carboxylic, lactone and quinone groups after modification with hydrochloric acid. This in turn affected the morphology of the coal material, which became relatively organized and distinct. Pore volumes after modification with hydrochloric acid decreased to 4.264–5.778 µm, macrocell sizes correspond to 31.57–73.32 µm. XRD analysis has established a decrease in the intensity of areas 2θ – 29° and 43° after modification, indicating the removal of certain minerals with a specific crystal structure, such as Na, Ca and Mg.

The concept of space is one of the concepts frequently mentioned in the Holy Quran. The concept in question has a quality that points to both physical and metaphysical dimensions. Since the life of the hereafter is a continuation of this world in Islamic thought, space has also been used frequently in the Quran in the context of the life of the hereafter. The descriptions of heaven and hell have always been described in the Quran by associating them with the concept of space. The concept of space has a use in the Quran that has abstract meanings as well as its concrete meaning. It is seen that it is used in this context when describing the life of the prophets. In this article, it has been examined in which contexts the concept of space is used in the Quran, and the differences between these uses have been revealed. During the examination of the subject, many tafsir sources, especially the Holy Quran, were reviewed. In addition, contemporary sources on the subject were used.

1593-1606 yılları arasında meydana gelen Osmanlı-Habsburg savaşları, Osmanlı Devleti’ni orduların sevk ve idaresi, birliklerin finansmanı ve teçhizat ile mühimmatın tedariki gibi seferlerin başarısı için önemli olan meselelerde sürekli titiz bir hazırlık ve yeni çözümler aramaya mecbur etmişti. Bu çalışmada, ordunun oluşumu açısından kilit öneme sahip olan doğu eyaletlerinden askerî birliklerin Habsburg seferlerine katılımı incelenecektir. İlk olarak 1593-1600 yılları arasında doğu eyaletlerinden sefere katılımda görülen düzen ve düzensizliklere odaklanılacaktır. Doğu eyaletlerinden birliklerin seferlere katılması üzerine kurulan eyalet muhafızlıklarının özellikle eşkıyalık hareketlerine karşı etkinliklerine ikinci bölümde temas edilecektir. 1600 yılında büyük çaplı Celâlî isyanlarının eyalet muhafızlıklarını zayıflatmasından sonra doğu eyaleti birliklerinin Habsburg ve Celâlîlere karşı düzenlenen seferlere taksim edilmesi bir mesele olarak ortaya çıkmıştı. Son bölümde devletin 1600-1606 yılları arasında doğu eyaleti birliklerini iki cephede birden görevlendirme isteği neticesinde ortaya çıkan sıkıntılar ve bunların seferlerin idaresine etkisi değerlendirilecektir.

Published: October 2023

Air pollution has been a major topic of discussion due to its detrimental impact on health and the environment as a result of the urban population's explosive development and associated human activities. The main objective of the study is to give a critical review of the causes, impacts, and Nature-based Solutions (NbS) for reducing air pollution with an emphasis on urban centers in Nigeria. The study adopted natural approaches to address/improve air quality and lessen health risks related to the emission of hazardous substances. To work with nature rather than against it, however, there must be cooperation between the government and its agent, the community, non-governmental organizations, civil society, faith-based organizations, associations, union bodies, young people, women, and people with disabilities, as well as support from international organizations. The study carried out showed that human activities are the major source of air pollution in Nigeria through the release of harmful gaseous substances, carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxide (NO2) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission, particles and heavy metal and this pollution is extremely dangerous due to the particles and substance discharged into the atmosphere. The findings contribute to the limited body of literature that already exists on the detrimental effects of ambient air pollution on respiratory health that are experienced by residents of urban cities in specific regions of Nigeria and other cities that are similar to those in Nigeria. In order to reduce air pollution in our urban centers, the study suggested adopting Nature-based Solutions (NbS).
The Contextual Model for Poem Translations and Criticisms: An Enlightenment from Wang Guowei’s Realm of Poetic World
Authors: Huang Yuanpeng
Published: October 2023

Combining the poet’s cultivated character, tones and rhythms, and spirit in Wang Guowei’s poetic realm theories with the viewpoints of poem compositions in Shi Sou, the article proposes the four essential elements, cultivated character, genre, tones and rhythms, and style, in poem translations, and argues that the translator should find the poet who has similar cultivated characters with him to translate, and meters and rhythms of translated poems should show the emotions and meanings of the original, and the styles of the translated poems should agree with those of the original ones. The article, therefore, constructs a contextual model integrating the context of situation consisting of the genre (field), tones (meters) and rhythms (mode), and style (tenor) into the context of culture containing the cultivated character and puts forth the principles for poem translations and criticisms.
The Factory Girl’s Address: Ellen Johnston and the Politics of Form
Authors: Barman Shalmi
Published: October 2023

Although she was a laboring-class writer who worked in factories all her life, the factory odes of Ellen Johnston, the self-titled “Factory Girl,” have received little consideration as political poems. Yet in “Address to the Factory of Messrs. J. & W. I. Scott & Co.,” Johnston self-consciously manipulates the power dynamics between speaking subject and addressed other through imitation of lyric forms such as panegyric and elegy. Rereading Johnston’s use of rhetorical apostrophe in a poem to, and about, a Scottish textiles factory as politically strategic pushes back against the selection bias in recovery work and canon diversification efforts that predetermines the interpretive frames applied to minoritized writers.
The Discipline of Economics and the Rise of Corporate Capitalism in the Late Nineteenth Century
Authors: Schleifer Ronald
Published: October 2023

This article examines the formation of the discipline of “Economics,” emerging from “Political Economy,” in relation to the transformation of industrial (or “entrepreneurial”) capitalism into finance (or “corporate”) capitalism in the late nineteenth century. In so doing, it explores the creation of the structure and goals of the modern disciplines of higher education in the Euro-American Victorian era. The contrast between “classical” economics of Political Economy, which was individualist and “unincorporated,” and the discipline of “neoclassical” Economics articulated by Alfred Marshall at Cambridge (among others in the late nineteenth century), which was collaborative and “incorporated” in higher education, is notable as a reflection of intellectual and cultural values in the Victorian era. Thus, the article describes the renovations and innovations of institutions of higher education as part and parcel of the rise of corporate capitalism in the late nineteenth century, particularly in Britain and the United States. More specifically, it analyzes the collaborative understanding in the emerging discipline of Economics in the late nineteenth century; the anonymous understanding of knowledge in Economics; and the institutional understanding and structure of Economics as a discipline in the emerging consumerist culture of the late nineteenth century.
