Authors: Brîvers Ivars , Stonâne Astrîde
Published: November 2024

The purpose of the research is to introduce the audience with specific features of economic growth in Latvia which is said to have experienced the “story of success” and to offer a different point of view on the traditional economic theories based on the influence of capital concentration in a particular country. The authors try to analyze the outcome of the “success story” by proving their opinion with the recent facts and basing their stand-point on the theories of well-known economists who are questioning the permanency of the growth paradigm. The essence of the economic growth must lie in the prosperity of people. The authors try to explain why the case of economic growth in Latvia differs from the situation in other EU countries. The role of inflow of foreign capital and its possible consequences, as well as the balance of payments are analyzed in the paper. The findings of the research offer the alternative to consider the flow of capital and globalization processes critically, evaluating the possible positive and negative effects on economies of the countries.
Computational fluid dynamics analysis for improving the uniformity of flow field in heat air drying kilns
Authors: Zhu Yifeng , Sun Liping , Wan Lifu
Published: November 2024

Because the uniformity of the wind speed flow field in the hot air drying kiln directly affects the distribution of the temperature field in the kiln, to improve the uniformity of air distribution in the existing wood hot air drying kiln, CFD software was used to analyze the 3-D flow field of each improved scheme. A combination of visual comparison and analysis methods and data comparison and analysis methods be used, to serve as the basis for assessing the feasibility and rationality of the improvement schemes. Without adding baffle plates or altering the structure to incorporate right-angle surfaces, the kiln?s structure was optimized by adjusting the position of the air outlet and installing air-flow distribution chambers. This paper innovatively introduces the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving to analyze and solve the flow field optimization problem in the kiln. The difference between this method and the existing research methods is that the solution process is more logical and the solution the fundamental problem is more accurate. The experimental results show that when the air supply speed of Scheme S8 is 3~7 m/s, the flow field of kiln Zone C (material drying area) meets the ideal range of 1~3 m/s. In addition, under the same working condition (3 m/s), the velocity differences of Scheme S8 is closer to 0 than that of Scheme S0, and the velocity unevenness coefficient is reduced by 18.44%.
Experimental study on thermal and mechanical properties of concrete block of phase change pile foundation and simulation study on performance of phase change energy pile
Authors: Zhao Songying , Zhu Yifan , Xu Kai , Chang Hong , Chen Lei
Published: November 2024

Phase change materials are incorporated into concrete to create phase change
pile storage concrete, significantly enhancing the heat transfer efficiency
of energy piles. However, adding these aggregates reduces concrete strength.
This research examines how different proportions of steel balls, silicon
carbide powder, and steel fibers affect the thermal and mechanical
properties of pile foundation concrete. An orthogonal test under compressive
design strength shows that a mix of 9% silicon carbide powder, 0.7% steel
fiber, and 15% steel balls increases thermal conductivity by 25.3%.
Numerical simulations with this optimized ratio indicate a 21% increase in
heat transfer per unit depth compared to standard energy piles. The phase
change energy pile notably lessens thermal effects on soil; within 30 days
of operation, its thermal influence radius decreased by 11.9%. Furthermore,
maximum reductions in side friction, pile side stress, and displacement were
recorded at 95.9%, 59.1%, and 80.3%, respectively- demonstrating excellent
structural stability.

Authors: Suresh Rajesh , Subramani Sekar , Lawal Dahiru
Published: November 2024

The current research examines drying process parameters for ivy gourd slices
since it is a good source of iron, vitamin C, protein, and fibre. The
considerable effect on drying of ivy gourd using different tray perforations
like oval, circular, and hexagonal at different process parameters, namely
air temperature (40, 50 and 60?C), air velocity (0.5, 1 and 1.5m/s), time
variation (20, 30 and 40min) and thickness of slice (2, 4 and 6mm). On
experimentation, the optimum conditions were found in oval tray perforation
at drying temperature 60?C, slice thickness 2mm, drying time 20min and air
velocity 0.5m/s. At these optimum conditions, Moisture Content (MC) was
found to be 1.76. Additionally, Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is
utilized to optimize drying parameters on MC. Verification of these
experimental values with the empirical model is assessed with the help of
correlation coefficient(R?) which was estimated to be 0.993. A significant
effect of drying vegetables can be seen in their nutritional content. From
the performed analysis an increased nutrition retention was observed.
Analysis of combustion and heat transfer performance in a slit-type fully premixed burner
Authors: Fang Chen , Su Lei , Chen Linghui , Jiang Xuan
Published: November 2024

Since most gas water heaters on the market still use diffusion or partially premixed combustion. Fully premixed combustion, with its advantages of complete combustion and low CO and NOx emissions, offers a promising alternative. In response to this, a slit-type fully premixed gas water heater with a rated power of 20 kW was designed. The combustion and heat transfer performance, as well as the combustion temperature and burnout characteristics, were analyzed under ten different load conditions ranging from 100% to 8% using theoretical modelling. The study identified the variations in physical parameters and used numerical simulations to partially validate the theoretical results. Subsequently, by individually modifying structural variables, the optimal structure under single-variable conditions was determined. This optimal structure was then combined in various configurations to form a multi-variable structural design. Further theoretical analysis was conducted to assess whether the changes in the multi-variable structure, as well as the original design, met economic efficiency requirements. The results showed that the slit-type fully premixed burner achieved optimal performance when the number of burner plates was 120, with a length of 99 mm and a height of 10 mm.
The significance of the cestode Joyeuxiella pasqualei (cyclophyllidea: dipylidiidae) for clinical practice and the welfare of cats
Authors: Ilic Tamara , Pavlovic Jelena , Jovanovic Nemanja , Stepanovic Predrag , Nenadovic Katarina
Published: November 2024

The cestode Joyeuxiella pasqualei is a common parasite of cats in Southern European countries, and due to the increasingly pronounced effects of global warming, there is a tendency for the spread and appearance of this parasite among carnivores in other parts of the European continent. The adult forms of the parasite are localized in the small intestines of definitive hosts (cats, dogs, foxes, wolves, and other carnivores). Cats become infected by ingesting primary hosts (coprophagic insects) and secondary intermediate hosts (reptiles and small mammals), which harbor the infective larval forms of the parasite (cysticercoids). In most infected animals, the disease progresses asymptomatically. An exception occurs in cases of high-intensity infections, where the adhesion of adult parasites to the intestinal mucosa leads to necrosis of the intestinal villi, invagination, and partial obstruction of the intestine, significantly compromising the health and well-being of cats. Successful treatment is achieved through the administration of praziquantel, and for prevention, it is necessary to prevent contact between cats and populations of intermediate hosts. Data on the etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, and control of this tapeworm are of particular importance for inexperienced diagnosticians, who, due to insufficient knowledge about J. pasqualei parasitism, can make significant errors in clinical diagnosis. Due to its significance for clinical practice and the welfare of cats, it is necessary to include this cestode in the differential diagnosis of intestinal invagination in cats and of other carnivore cestodes, which are species from the genera Diplopylidium and Dipylidium.
Private practice dentists’ conceptions of overtreatment: A qualitative study from Norway
Authors: Skrede Edvinsen Julie , Hofmann Bjørn
Published: November 2024

Objective: As overtreatment has gained attention and is a threat to sustainable healthcare, the objective of this study is to investigate Norwegian private practice dentists’ conceptions of overtreatment. 
Material and Methods: Six private practice dentists were interviewed. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed by thematic analysis in a six-step process including coding and identifying main- and sub-themes.
Results: The main themes identified were conceptions of overtreatment, internal factors, and external conditions of importance for overtreatment. Norwegian private practice dentists are familiar with the concept overtreatment and provide several examples of overtreatment. Although they see overtreatment as a problem, they express that the boundaries of what is considered necessary or professionally justified treatment have changed over time – particularly towards aesthetic and cosmetic treatment. Overtreatment is considered to be less problematic if the patients are informed and consent. The participants point to several internal factors and external conditions furthering overtreatment: professional status and prestige, general social trends, social media, demographic changes, overcapacity, and the expansion of commercial chains. The dentists in the interviews demonstrated that they are aware of their power, but also acknowledge their responsibility. 
Conclusion: Private practice dentists in Norway are aware of overtreatment and their drivers. They acknowledge their power to promote overtreatment, but also that this gives them responsibility. This raises important issues about dentists’ professional accountability and integrity.
TASKS OF INTERCULTURAL EDUCATION IN THE CONDITIONS OF UKRAINIAN-TURKISH BILINGUALISM
Authors: Demianiuk Anzhela , Isayev Khurshud
Published: November 2024

The article examines the main tasks of intercultural education in the conditions of Ukrainian-Turkish bilingualism; insignificant acculturation of children in a foreign-speaking environment was noted, since the picture of the world of Ukrainian-speaking students studying in Turkey includes a small number of Turkish components; three main groups of nominations reflecting linguistic and cultural specificity are highlighted: cultural idioms, words with an idio-ethnic aura, idioms. It was emphasized that the task of expanding the Ukrainian picture of the world with a Turkish component should be systematically solved in schools where children from Ukrainian-speaking families study. The process of acculturation is based on the communicative process. The practical implementation of bicultural education can be achieved through the joint education of Ukrainian children and children from mixed Ukrainian-Turkish families; introduction of subjects related to the national culture of the host country into the curriculum; enrichment of basic educational disciplines with national Ukrainian and Turkish issues; mandatory inclusion of linguistic and cultural information in Ukrainian and Turkish language programs; creation of electives on Turkish topics taking into account the interests of children. The article proposed attempt is to present possible directions and methods of developing the concept of TURKEY in Ukrainian language classes.
QUANTITATIVE THEMATIC AND IDEOGRAPHIC MODELLING OF THE VALUE OF ‘HEALTH’ IN ENGLISH PHRASEOLOGY
Authors: Khodzhaieva Olena
Published: November 2024

The article is an attempt to develop in-depth ideas about the value of ‘health’ in the phraseology of the English language. Health is positioned as an important fragment of the value picture of the English world, which is reflected in the corresponding phraseological units of English with health / illness semantics. The study is the first to carry out a thematic and ideographic modelling of the value of ‘health’ in English phraseology based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. The scientific novelty of the study is due to the fact that for the first time the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (hereinafter referred to as ICF) has been used for the linguistic study of the value of ‘health’ (based on the material of English phraseology). The ICF is a multi-purpose classification intended for interdisciplinary use and aims to: a) provide a scientific basis for understanding and studying health and health-related conditions, their consequences and determinants; b) introduce a common language for describing health and health-related conditions in order to improve mutual understanding between different users (e.g, health and social care workers, researchers, administrators and the public, etc.); c) ensuring the possibility of comparing information data from different countries, areas of health care, etc.); d) developing a systematic coding scheme for health information systems. It is important to note that the unit of classification is a category in health domains (e.g., vision, hearing, walking, learning and remembering, etc.) and health-related domains (e.g., transportation, education and social interaction, etc.). The ICF describes an individual’s situation within a number of health and health-related domains, based on the context of environmental and personal factors.

THEORETICAL AND APPLIED FOUNDATIONS OF EMPLOYEE MATERIAL LIABILITY
Authors: Bondar Oleksandr
Published: November 2024

This article delves into the theoretical and practical aspects of employee material liability, focusing on the standards governing the material liability of employees in Ukraine and the European Union. The research aims to analyze the current Ukrainian legislation and international practices to improve approaches to regulating material liability within a market economy. General scientific methods of cognition, such as analysis, comparison, systematization, and generalization, were employed during the study. The findings reveal that Ukrainian legislation stipulates four main types of material liability: full, limited, enhanced, and collective. Full material liability, as regulated by Article 134 of the Labor Code of Ukraine (LCU), applies when there is a written agreement between the employee and the employer, particularly in cases where the employee is entrusted with material assets for use or safekeeping. Key documents for this include an authorization and an agreement. Additional full liability arises in cases of intentional damage or when the employee is under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Limited material liability is applied when the losses are less than the average earnings of the employee and does not cover amounts exceeding this threshold. The procedure for calculating average wages is regulated by the CMU Resolution No. 100 of February 8, 1995. Enhanced material liability pertains to employees involved in the handling of precious metals, stones, and currency valuables and can reach up to double or triple the value of the incurred damages. Collective liability applies to groups of employees jointly responsible for damage caused to the enterprise. The practical significance of the research lies in the potential for enhancing the legal framework governing employee material liability in Ukraine, taking into account European experience.

Cyclicity in ontogeny and age determination of Flexopecten glaber (Bivalvia, Pectinidae) in the Black Sea
Authors:   A.O. Kovalevsky Institute of Biology of the Southern Seas of RAS, Bondarev Igor P.
Published: November 2024

Flexopecten glaber is an actively fished species in the Mediterranean Sea and a promising candidate for mariculture in the Black Sea. Flexopecten glaber is included in the Red Data Books of the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol city as a species declining in number (Category 2). In this study, over 1500 specimens sampled near the Crimean Peninsula between 2017 and 2023 were analysed to investigate the ontogeny of F. glaber and develop a method for determining individual age, based on the relationship between stages of gonadal development and changes in shell surface morphology. The cyclicity of development was assessed by comparing the cycles of gonad formation with the features of the surface morphology of the shell. A correlation was found between the morphology of the surface of shell valves and the stages of the annual cycle of gonad development. On this basis, a scheme for determining the developmental stages and individual age of F. glaber specimens from the morphology of shell valves has been developed. The most prominent mark on the shell surface is formed mainly in winter as a result of the physiological restructuring of the organism before the beginning of the annual cycle of gonad formation. However, to determine the age of F. glaber, the spawning marks formed mainly in summer need to be considered. The proposed scheme for determining the developmental stages and age of F. glaber individuals is a valuable tool for studying the species and can help resolve a variety of ecological and conservation issues.

Machine learning-based clustering analysis of the banking green credit for the renewable energy industry
Authors: Vu-Thi-Nhu Quynh
Published: November 2024

Credit policies for clean and renewable energy businesses play a crucial role in supporting carbon neutrality efforts to combat climate change. Clustering the credit capacity of these companies to prioritize lending is essential given the limited capital available. Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) are two robust machine learning algorithms for addressing complex clustering problems. Additionally, hyperparameter selection within these models is effectively enhanced through the support of a robust heuristic optimization algorithm, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). To leverage the strength of these advanced machine learning techniques, this paper aims to develop SVM and ANN models, optimized with the PSO, for the clustering problem of green credit capacity in the renewable energy industry. The results show low Mean Square Error (MSE) values for both models, indicating high clustering accuracy. The credit capabilities of wind energy, clean fuel, and biomass pellet companies are illustrated in quadrant charts, providing stakeholders with a clear view to adjust their credit strategies. This helps ensure the efficient operation of banking green credit policies.

Social Media Influencer (SMI) marketing represents a contemporary addition to the arsenal of digital advertising tools. Digital Content Creators are individuals who regularly share a variety of content, including visuals, audio recordings, and updates, across multiple social media platforms to shape consumers’ perceptions of a brand and its products. The focus of this study is to examine how the credibility aspects of social media influencers (expertise, attractiveness, and trustworthiness) influence purchase intention and brand intimacy while also considering the mediating role of consumer engagement. This study used a quantitative, cross-sectional design with convenience sampling targeting social media-active individuals. Data were collected via a questionnaire distributed through email and social media, selecting participants who followed influencers. To gather data, 250 participants were engaged in an online questionnaire distributed via Google Forms. The findings indicate that the credibility dimensions of SMIs, particularly their attractiveness and trustworthiness, positively influence brand intimacy and purchase intention. Furthermore, consumer engagement serves as a critical mediator, connecting the authenticity of social media influencers with purchase intention and brand intimacy. In line with these results, it becomes evident that consumer engagement indirectly influences influencer credibility (trustworthiness and attractiveness), purchase intention, and brand intimacy. Notably, expertise does not exert any discernible impact on either brand intimacy or purchase intention. This study’s outcomes provide valuable insights for marketing managers, underscoring the significance of partnering with influencers who possess a high level of trust within their respective marketing niches.

This research investigated the representation of Rohingya refugees stranded in Aceh province in the Indonesian news media during the four-year crisis between 2020 and 2023. The study aimed to examine how Rohingya refugees were represented in the media during the crisis using the Critical Discourse Analysis and the Discourse Historical Approach (DHA). The research employed a mixed method analysis to analyse the corpus data of 46,769 words extracted from 62 news articles published in two mainstream Indonesian publications, namely the regional Serambi Indonesia and the national Jakarta Post, between June 24, 2020, and March 27, 2023. Using corpus linguistics and Van Dijk’s CDA, the research uncovered four prominent argumentation strategies used in the media to portray the refugee crisis. Serambi Indonesia and the Jakarta Post utilised the Humanitarianism and Administration argumentation the most, concentrating on precarious conditions and efforts to handle the influx of refugees. Nevertheless, the local daily Serambi Indonesia used some Threat/Danger argumentation, portraying refugees as dangers and threats to local safety. The study further reveals how the media’s alignment with the government agenda is decisive for the press to construct public narratives. The narrative is expected to influence people’s attitudes and behaviours toward refugees in the province of Aceh.

Published: November 2024

Even though textbooks play an integral role in EFL teaching and learning processes, evaluation of English textbooks for vocational high schools in the Indonesian context and their relevancy to the targeted proficiency was still rare. This study identified text difficulty levels and English vocabulary profiles of a set of digital English coursebooks for vocational high schools in Indonesia. It also analyzed how text difficulty levels and vocabulary profiles correspond with the targeted proficiency level of vocational high school graduates. A corpus-informed and Lexile-based model was employed as the design of this research. Lexile framework was employed to measure text difficulty, while corpus information was utilized to determine the vocabulary profiles of the selected textbooks. Three tools were used to analyze the data quantitatively, namely Lexile Text Analyzer® Professional, LancsBox, and English Vocabulary Profile in Text Inspector. This study found that the approximate text difficulty of reading passages in the coursebooks for grades 10 and 12 is slightly higher than the expected language proficiency level for vocational high school graduates. On the other hand, the approximate text difficulty of reading passages in the coursebook for grade 11 is slightly lower. However, in terms of vocabulary profiles, the three books emphasize the target vocabulary at the expected level (B1), as suggested by the Directorate of Vocational High School Development. In addition to those findings, it is important that teachers consider other factors outside the scope of this research, such as learners’ proficiency levels and interests or other qualitative data about the books, to determine whether the coursebooks are appropriate for their classes.

The study described teachers’ speech performance using textual and non-textual elements in language teaching-learning. The linguistic element is the text of the language landscape of Toba Caldera Geosites. This research was conducted from the philosophical perspective of empiricism that is relevant to the phenomenological paradigm, with the type of interpretative and constructive phenomenology underlying the qualitative design. The qualitative design model applied in this research was phenomenology, aiming to understand and describe individuals’ subjective experiences and perspectives. The data were collected through in-depth interviews, focused group discussions, and direct participatory observation. The procedure covered (1) establishing the objectives of the study and bracketing, (2) locating participants or informants, (3) data collection, (4) transcription and data analysis, (5) coding and categorization, (6) phenomenological reduction, (7) descriptive and theoretical write-up, (8) interpretation and synthesis, (9) construction and reconstruction, (10) verification and validity, and (11) formulating the findings. The results revealed that teachers should master and be able to practice a combination of text, co-text, and context simultaneously to improve speech performance in language teaching. A text includes verbal skills, co-text includes non-textual and paratextual skills, and context includes situational, cultural, social, ideological, and situational skills. In language teaching-learning, teachers should effectively and informatively master speech performance by using appropriate texts, co-texts, and contexts. The study of speech performance in language teaching-learning offers a valuable understanding of the complexities of effective communication in an educational environment.

The ellipsis of the subject is used to make sentences more concise and effective. Subject ellipsis can occur in written and spoken languages. This research examines the ellipsis of subjects in the coordinative constructions of the Acehnese language. A qualitative approach was employed for this research, with data collected from three different locations in Pidie Regency, Aceh, Indonesia: Padang Tiji Sub-district (located in the westernmost area), Mutiara Timur Sub-district (located in the central area) and Tangse Sub-district (located in the easternmost area). The research data consists of both oral and written data obtained from informants. Data collection was conducted using the listening-engagement technique and free-engaged listening techniques. Data analysis was conducted using the distribution method with basic and advanced techniques. The research results revealed that the subject ellipsis occurred in the second clause. The ellipsis occurred if there was the same syntactic function as the ellipsis condition. If the subject was not identical, the ellipsis could not be made even if the syntactic function was similar. The ellipsis of the subject in the coordinative construction of the Acehnese language occurs in the coordinative construction of the Acehnese language expressing: 1) addition relationship, which is marked by the conjunction ‘ngön/dan’ (and), ‘lom’ (and/again/then), and ‘sireuta’ (also), 2) contradictory relationship is expressed with the conjunctions ‘maléngkan’ (but), 3) oppositional relations is expressed with the conjunctions ‘tapi’ (nonetheless), 4) optional relationship is marked by the conjunction of the ‘atawa’ (or), and 5) supplementary relationships is marked by the conjunction of the ‘teuma’ (then).
