This study aims to measure the shear parameters of clay mixed with variations in sawdust ash. Utilization of wood waste which is converted into ash and then mixed with clay of low strength is expected to give the effect of more bearing capacity on the soil. Mixing percentage of sawdust ash to clay was carried out with variations of 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%. The mixing of clay soil with sawdust ash was stabilized through compaction testing, then a direct shear test was carried out to obtain shear parameters. The test results obtained were an increase in the cohesion value of the original soil 0.182 kg/cm2, an increase of 0.240 kg/cm2 successively; 0.310 kg/cm2; 0.396 kg/cm2 and decreased with the addition of 20% sawdust ash 0.237 kg/cm2. Likewise, the increase in the value of the internal shear angle, the initial condition was 5,300 and increased with the addition of wood ash from 13,310; 15,030; 18,300 and decreased on a 20% mix to 15,700. This means that the use of sawdust ash can provide the carrying capacity of clay soil to a certain level (an average of 33.5% for the cohesion value and 34.8% for the average internal shear angle value).
«A Man Passionately Devoted to the Ukrainian Idea»: on the Question Regarding Biography of the Head of the Black Sea Ukrainian Community in Sevastopol, Viacheslav Laschenko (1875—1953)
Authors: Ivanets Andrii
Published: January 2023

The Ukrainian national movement of the beginning of the 20th century in Crimea is poorly researched, although at that time Ukrainians constituted the third largest ethnic community among the Crimean population. The article reconstructs main milestones in the biography of one of the leading figures of the Ukrainian national movement in Sevastopol and the Black Sea Fleet in 1917–1920, public and political activist, writer and poet Viacheslav Lashchenko (1875–1953). He was born in Yelysavethrad (the modern name of the city is Kropyvnytskyi) in the family of Ukrainian intellectuals. Already during his studies at higher educational institutions, V. Lashchenko took an active part in the Ukrainian national movement, in particular, he organized and headed the Ukrainian Student Community in Warsaw. After receiving a historical and philological education, he taught at schools of the Dnieper Ukraine, where the authorities considered him untrustworthy due to his pro-Ukrainian views and transferred him to new jobs several times. In Sevastopol, during the revolution of 1905–1907, V. Lashchenko combined teaching at the gymnasium with participation in the illegal Ukrainian patriotic circle «Kobzar», which soon he headed. During the revolution of 1917, this organization initiated the creation of the Black Sea Ukrainian Community in the city of Sevastopol, which united several thousand Sevastopol civilians, sailors, officers and soldiers. The community played an important role in the development of the movement for the Ukrainianization of the Black Sea Fleet, most of whose sailors were Ukrainians. V. Lashchenko was elected the first head of the Black Sea Ukrainian Community in Sevastopol. In the summer of 1917, he became a member of the Sevastopol City Council on the list of the Ukrainian Party of Socialist Revolutionaries, and in the autumn, he probably headed the Ukrainian Council of Soldiers’ and Workers’ Deputies in Sevastopol. During the frequent changes of power in Crimea in 1918–1919, little is known about his activities, and in 1920, during the Wrangel’s regime, V. Lashchenko joined the leadership of the Ukrainian National Democratic Bloc, which proclaimed loyalty to P. Wrangel, the idea of statehood of Ukraine as part of federal Russia and the creation of the Ukrainian army. After Crimea was seizured by the Bolsheviks, he emigrated to Czechoslovakia, where he engaged in public, creative and, probably, teaching activities. During the Second World War, he emigrated to the USA, but, according to the researcher, he returned to Czechoslovakia, where he died.
Activities of the OUN Underground and the UPA Fighters in the Territory of Crimea during World War II (1941—1944) in Ukrainian Historiography
Authors: Hubskyi Serhii
Published: January 2023

The article highlights the issues of the underground activities of the OUN underground and the UPA fighters during the Second World War in Ukrainian historiography. The program and ideological documents of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) are analyzed in relation to their vision of the role and place of Crimea in the geopolitical strategies of the future independent Ukrainian state. It is noted that back in the 20s–30s of the 20th century ideologists of the nationalist movement developed geostrategic concepts in which Crimea occupied a key place as a certain outpost of the Black Sea region, which cannot be conceded under any circumstances. It is noted that in these documents Ukrainian nationalists considered Crimea as the main base of the Ukrainian naval forces and the Ukrainian merchant fleet.It was established that Ukrainian nationalists began to implement their plans and own ideas in the conditions of the German-Soviet war, which is reflected in the works of Ukrainian historians and direct participants of those events. It is noted there that already at the beginning of July 1941, the first derivative groups of the OUN went to the central Ukrainian lands, from where they planned to take over all ethnic Ukrainian lands, creating their own authorities and administrations on them, and Crimea was one of their destinations. Accordingly, the OUN (Melnik’s supporters) and OUN (Bandera’s supporters) created special Crimean groups that were to move directly to the peninsula. In the autumn of 1941, the first groups of the OUN managed to enter the territory of the peninsula. At that time, the German occupation regime began repression against the members and supporters of the OUN, so the derivative groups moving to the Crimea were under the threat of exposure and physical destruction.It is noted that in Ukrainian historiography there is a widespread opinion, supported by the documentary base and eyewitness accounts, that Simferopol became the center of activity in Crimea. Separate structures of the OUN were also created in Dzhankoi, Yalta and other cities of the peninsula. Being persecuted by the German repressive authorities, Ukrainian nationalists were still able to gain a foothold in Crimea and start systematic organizational work, which consisted in creating a network of supporters, activities of cultural, educational and religious structures.It was established that in the conditions of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the temporary occupation of part of the Ukrainian territory, including Crimea, comprehensive and unbiased coverage of the above-mentioned topic is a relevant and necessary matter today.
'Celtoscythians': Ethnical Processes and Cultural Contacts in the Baltic-Black Sea Region (3rd Century BC — 1st Century AD)
Authors: Kazakevych Hennadiy
Published: January 2023

The paper deals with the ethnocultural processes that took place in the 3rd century BC – 1st century AD on the territory of Ukraine and neighbouring lands of Central and Eastern Europe. These processes, in particular, have expressed themselves in the emergence of terms ‘Celtoscythians’ and ‘Bastarnae’. The author aims to show that ancient Greeks and Romans used these names to define barbaric population, which, was living on the territory of Scythia according to geographical concepts of those days, but had material culture and customs similar to Celtic and, to some extent, could use Celtic dialects. It is stated that the lands of present-day Ukraine were stretched across the distinct periphery of the ‘Celtic world’.A group of Celtic settlements and burials which occupied the Transcarpathian region was a rather typical sub-group of the La Tene culture, similar to those in nearby regions of Slovakia, Hungary and Romania. There are only traces of the ‘Celtic’ military raids and micro-migrations in the lands eastward of the Carpathian Mountains and they had no significant impact on the cultural situation in the region. At the turn of the eras, in the basins of Dniester and Dnipro, the new Poieneşti-Lukashevka and Zarubyntsi archaeological cultures emerged. Both combined Jastorf and La Tène traditions and local traditions. The Greek and Roman authors used the new ‘umbrella’ ethnic entities ‘Bastarnae’ and ‘Κελτοσκύθαι’. Such mixed groups of the population emerged as a result of intensifying cultural contacts between the Baltic and Pontic areas. One may pay attention to the communication route from Hellespont to the Baltic shores that Plinius the Elder described in his Naturalis Historia (NH. IV. 28). Apparently, the route following Dniester and Vistula played a significant role in exchange of prestigious artefacts, as well as ideas and technologies between various groups of population of the Northern and Eastern fringes of the Celtic world. The contact zone that formed along this route played an important role in the processes of ethnogenesis on the territory of Ukraine over the following centuries.

Residual stress in the end-milled subsurface can significantly affect the fatigue performance of end-milled material. In the end-milling process, the generation of residual stress is extremely complex, which is closely related to the spindle speed, feed per tooth and cutting force. Thus, it is crucial to elucidate the influence of spindle speed and feed per tooth on cutting force and residual stress, also the correlation between cutting force and residual stress in terms of spindle speed and feed per tooth. According to this, dry end-milling of Inconel HX was performed by climb-milling using Kennametal KYS40 solid ceramic end-mill. From this experimental test, cutting force and residual stress showed a U-shaped relationship with the increase of spindle speed, while cutting force and residual stress showed a linear relationship with the increase of feed per tooth. Furthermore, for low cutting force and residual stress, the focus should be on choosing the optimum combination of spindle speed (21,400 to 24,100 rpm) and feed per tooth (0.014 to 0.016 mm/tooth).

The main causes of aerodynamic drag for automotive vehicles are the flow separation at the rear end of the vehicles. By reducing the drag force, it is possible to increase the fuel economy. Aerodynamic component i.e. Frontal Deflectors (FD) commonly used on trucks to prevent the flow separation. Frontal Deflectors themselves do create the drag, but they also reduce drags by preventing flow separation at downstream. The main aim of this paper is to quantify the effect of frontal deflectors on improving trucks aerodynamics. In this study, the simulation were ran for 6 different shapes of FD which acquires different height and different placement of FD that is mounted on the truck from the frontal roof by using ANSYS Fluent software. The design of the truck has been done in SOLIDWORK 2018 and the same design is used for analysis in ANSYS (Fluent). The two equation models used in this study are 𝑘𝑘− 𝜀𝜀 with applying the Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) equations for the behaviour of fluid flow around the truck. The Reynolds number used is 𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅 = 1.1 × 106. Based on the result, all the FD’s resulted in reduction of 𝐶𝐶𝑑𝑑. The drag coefficient of all FD models differs. The velocity streamline acquired is different between the Frontal Deflector models mounted on the truck and the flow structure and vortex formation differs in various pattern formation. FD 4 produces the least value of drag. Hence, the efficiency of the truck improves. Therefore, FD 4 is the best model as the 𝐶𝐶𝑑𝑑 acquired is 0.508 with the height (15 mm) and placement of (230 mm) is the best FD to be used on a truck. Consequently, the drag reduction percentage of FD 4 compared to the truck without a FD is 32.2%.

In the advancement of human-robot interaction technology, assistive social robots have been recognized as one of potential technologies that can provide physical and cognitive supports in older person’s care. However, a major challenge faced by the designers is to develop an assistive social robot with prodigious usability and user experience for older persons who were known to have physical and cognitive limitations. A considerable number of published literatures was reporting on the technological design process of assistive social robots. However, only a small amount of attention has been paid to review the usability and user experience of the robots. The objective of this paper is to provide an overview of established researches in the literatures concerning usability and user experience issues faced by the older persons when interacting with assistive social robots. The authors searched relevant articles from the academic databases such as Google Scholar, Scopus and Web of Science as well as Google search engine for the publication period 2000 to 2021. Several search keywords were typed such as ‘older persons’ ‘elderly’, ‘senior citizens’, ‘assistive social robots’, ‘companion robots’, ‘personal robots’, ‘usability’ and ‘user experience’. This online search found a total of 215 articles which are related to assistive social robots in elderly care. Out of which, 54 articles identified as significant references, and they were examined thoroughly to prepare the main content of this paper. This paper reveals usability issues of 28 assistive social robots, and user experience feedback based on 41 units of assistive social robots. Based on the research articles scrutinized, the authors concluded that the key elements in the design and development of assistive social robots to improve acceptance of older persons were determined by three factors: functionality, usability and users’ experience. Functionality refers to ability of robots to serve the older persons. Usability is ease of use of the robots. It is an indicator on how successful of interaction between the robots and the users. To improve usability, robot designers should consider the limitations of older persons such as vision, hearing, and cognition capabilities when interactingwith the robots. User experience reflects to perceptions, preferences and behaviors of users that occur before, during and after use the robots. Combination of superior functionality and usability lead to a good user experiencein using the robots which in the end achieves satisfaction of older persons.

Vertically driven solid copper electrode is a widely practiced earthing method due to its simplicity and cost effectiveness. With the rising price of copper, the need for cost optimizationis imperative. In this project, hollow copper electrode is being experimented as an earthing electrode. Solid copper electrode is used as reference and vertically driven side by side with hollow copperelectrode at two sites with uniform yet contrasting soil resistivity. Earth resistance of both setups was measured regularly using Fall of Potential method. It was found that the earth resistance of hollow copper electrodetendsto be lower than solid copper electrode. The performance of hollow copper electrode is significantly better insite with high soil resistivity.This preliminary finding suggests that a more effective earthing system can be achieved with less material and further studies with prolonged period of measurement is required to ascertain the initial conclusion drawn and presented in this paper.
An Integration of Open-Source Resources in Distance Teaching for Real-Time Embedded System Using Arduino Microcontroller and Freertos
Authors:   Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia, Chia Kim Seng
Published: January 2023

Distance learning has become a crucial alternativein education system worldwide since the Covid-19 pandemic happened. An affordable and accessible solution is essentialto enable a quality remote teaching and learning experience for each student. Real-Time Embedded System (RTES) is about applying real-time system in an embedded system (e.g., microcontroller) in ways that both logical and temporal requirements are fulfilled. A special attention shall be on the temporal response analysis so that students can have a clear distinction between microcontrollers with and without real-time system.Since there is a lack of accessible traceable studies about how to utilize the open-source platform inintroducing the key RTES concepts, this study aims to evaluate the feasibility of an integration of open-source resources (i.e., SimSo simulator, Arduino platform and FreeRTOSAPI) in teaching RTES remotely and to provide real-time learning experience about RTES concepts without additional components or wiring out of school. First, each student was introduced to the ways to integrate existing open-source resources so that each of them could develop RTES in their placesusing a FreeRTOS compatible microcontroller.RTES concepts of task, hyperperiod, task scheduling, pre-emption,static-priority scheduling algorithms, and mutual exclusion in resource sharing were delivered using the proposed infrastructure. Results show that an obvious context switch could be observed when pre-emption happened. Finding indicates that the proposed integration was useful for students to understand the complex RTES concepts e.g., task scheduling, pre-emption, and mutuallyexclusion.Since positive responses were received from students in two consecutive semesters, the proposed infrastructure is an affordable and accessible distance learning alternative in assisting students to understand RTES concepts.

The usage of the air-conditioning system to provide comfortable indoor conditions is found necessary especially for hot-and warm countries. However, the excessive use of the air-conditioning system or without properly controlled will significantly affect the energy consumption of the building and also the environment badly. This study investigates the strategy to reduce energy for cooling in an office room by utilizing the high setting temperature of the air conditioning system with the addition of fan ventilation by field measurement. About 9 study cases have been investigated which includes the air-conditioning setting of 27°C to 28°C, with and without fan-assisted ventilation. The measured physical thermal comfort parameters are air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and black globe temperature. The operative temperature and Predicted Mean Vote value (PMV) have been calculated for each study case for analysis. The results revealed that the comfortable condition with neutral sensation can be achieved by air-conditioning setting of 28°C with an air speed of 1 m/s-1.2m/s. Moreover, the results showed that the room with 27°C-28°C setting temperature was in a comfortable condition before afternoon hours, while fan-assisted ventilation is required to enhance the comfortable hours through the rest working hour. By this practice, it is expected the energy consumption and cooling load of the building can be reduced.

To enhance speech intelligibility for people with hearing loss, hearing aids will amplify speech using gains derived from evidence-based prescriptive methods, in addition to other advanced signal processing mechanisms. While the evidence supports the use of hearing aid signal processing for speech intelligibility, these signal processing adjustments can also be detrimental to hearing aid sound quality, with poor hearing aid sound quality cited as a barrier to device adoption. In general, an uncontrolled environment may contain degradation components like background noise, speech from other speakers etc. along with required speech components. In this paper, we implement adaptive filtering design for acoustic feedback noise cancellation in hearing aids. The adaptive filter architecture has been designed using normalized least mean square algorithm. By using adaptive filters both filter input coefficients are changeable during run-time and reduce noise in hearing aids. The proposed design is implemented in matlab and the simulations shows that the proposed architecture produces good quality of speech, accuracy, maintain stable steady state. The proposed design is validated with parameters like Noise Distortion, Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality, Signal to Noise Ratio, and Speech Distortion. The feedback canceller is implemented in MATLAB 9.4 simulink version release name of R2018a is used for validation with Echo Return Loss Enhancement (ERLE). The ERLE of the NMLS is reduced when the filter order is increases.Around 10% of the power spectrum density (PSD) is less when compared with existing designs.

Foreign Direct Investment and Backward Spillovers in the Western Balkans
Authors: Krasniqi Besnik , Ahmetbasić Jasmina , Bartlett Will
Published: January 2023

This article investigates how regional supply chains support the Western Balkans’ economic growth. It first identifies the role of the cefta free trade agreement in expanding the size of the local market and opening up regional trading opportunities. It recounts how the larger market and specific industrial policies have attracted foreign direct investment (fdi) to the region in recent years. It analyses how these two factors have combined to generate export-led growth in the region and have brought about substantial structural changes within these economies. The article argues that to take continued advantage of the success in trade liberalisation and fdi attraction, policymakers should pay special attention to promoting backward spillovers by promoting linkages between local small and middle sized enterprise (sme) supplier firms and the newly arrived multi national corporations embedded into global value chains. Policies should be adopted which build the capacity of local sme suppliers within regional supply chains, both in terms of labour force skills and technological upgrades. The EU’s recently launched Economic and Investment Plan for the Western Balkans and the activities of the Western Balkan Six Chamber Investment Forum may support such policies.

Penelitian mengenai hubungan regulasi emosi orang tua  dengan berbagai variabel pada anak telah banyak dilakukan. Namun belum pernah dilakukan penelitian mengenai identifikasi kemampuan orang tua  dalam meregulasi emosi khususnya di wilayah Yogyakarta. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui tingkat kemampuan regulasi emosi orang tua  serta strategi yang lebih sering digunakan dalam mengelola emosi dalam mengasuh anak usia dini. Subjek dari penelitian ini adalah 53 responden orang tua  yang memiliki anak berusia 2-7 tahun. Instrumen yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah skala regulasi emosi pengasuhan yang dikembangkan peneliti berdasarkan lima strategi regulasi emosi J.J. Gross. Skala terdiri dari 24 aitem dengan nilai koefisien reliabilitas sebesar α=0,937. Skala disajikan menggunakan Google Form dan disebarkan melalui jejaring sosial media. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan SPSS versi 20 untuk mengkategorisasikan tingkat regulasi emosi responden. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah responden memiliki tingkat regulasi emosi sedang (77,4%) dan tinggi (9,4%). Strategi regulasi emosi dengan nilai selisih rerata empiric yang paling mendekati rerata hipotetik adalah strategi attentional deployment dan response modulation. Sebaran data demografi yang kurang merata merupakan salah satu keterbatasan dalam penelitian ini. Hasil penelitian ini dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai salah satu dasar memberikan rekomendasi strategi regulasi emosi pada orang tua  khususnya di lingkup Yogyakarta. Lebih lanjut lagi, rekomendasi tersebut akan diintegrasikan dalam aplikasi regulasi emosi yang dapat digunakan secara mandiri oleh orang tua  untuk mengetahui kemampuan mengelola emosinya.
