Some Suggestions to Defend Viva-voce Successfully
Authors: Pokharel Samidha Dhungel
Published: January 2024

Viva voce, the oral presentation of academic research, also known as thesis defense, is nerve wracking experience for most of the students. Many experienced people also become panic during paper presentation in front of scholars. In such context, it would not be a surprise if students become nervous during their thesis defense. The objective of this paper is to explore the experiences of the scholars during viva voce and make students informed about the steps to prepare oral presentation. This study is based on primary and secondary data. Four case studies were collected from PhD holders from Universities of Nepal through personal communication during the year 2016. Secondary data were pulled from web sites. The findings of the study revealed that many of the scholars including national and international have unpleasant experiences. Such unpleasant experiences are not associated with only students’ poor work, poor presentation, and nervousness but also with committee members’ attitude, and unclear questions. It can be concluded that the work of the students’ is already evaluated and recommended to award degree by the supervisor, co-supervisor, and internal examiner. Therefore, it can be said that the viva voce should not be only one determining factor for assessing whether to award degree or not. However, it is students’ responsibility to defense their viva perfectly.

THE ICONOGRAPHY OF THE MYTHOLOGICAL PROGRAMME OF THE MITHRAIC SANCTUARY IN HAWARTE (SYRIA)
Authors: Jakubiak Krzysztof
Published: January 2024

Hawarte is a small village located north of Apamea, one of the most spectacular cities of Roman Syria. In the area of that small village, unexpectedly a large Mithraic sanctuary located in a cave was brought into the light. The shrine was richly decorated with paintings covering almost the whole available space. Those discovered paintings represented a very rare Mithraic programme, which shows some variants of the Mithraic doctrine. Moreover, some architectonic elements discovered during the excavations gave a chance to correlate the time of the cultic ceremonies and rituals with the exact days of the calendar. Those unique elements recorded during the field works were a reflection of the broad-scale distribution of the Mithraic religion. In that field, doubtlessly an important role played Roman legions distributed almost in every corner of the Roman Empire. Those soldiers, who were dislocated in various places, and various locations effectively transferred a new doctrine. One of the variants of that doctrine or reflection of regional Mithraic tradition was discovered in Hawarte.

LA QUESTION DE L’EPIGRAVETTIEN ORIENTAL

he designation, under the name of Epigravettian, of all industries in Central and Eastern Europe from the last glacial maximum and up to the end of isotopic stage 2, masks the variety of industries and prevents an understanding of the adaptations of hunter-gatherer societies to climate variations. - For Eastern Europe (Dnieper, Boug and Don basins): Eastern Gravettian, Final Eastern Gravettian, Local Aurignacoid Industries (Muralovkian, Zamiatnine culture and others), Early Epigravettian of the steppe area, gap, Mezinian of the Dnieper Basin, late Epigravettian of the steppe area, - For the northeastern foothills of the Carpathians (Dniester, Prut and Bistrita basins) : Eastern Gravettian, Aurignacoid Industries, gap, Early Epigravettian (Molodovian s.s.), gap, Final Epigravettian, - For Central Europe: Eastern Gravettian, gap, Aurignacoid Industries, gap, Sagvarian, gap, Magdalenian and Late Epigravettian. The typological and technological studies of lithic and bone industries reveal large differences, due to strong changes in human systems during the last glacial maximum. And the mere presence of backed bladelets (which also exist in the Solutrean, Badegoulian and Magdalenian cultures in Western Europe) is not sufficient to cluster these industries under the same name of Epigravettian. So we propose to give different names to these different industries.

Authors:   Karaganda University named after E.A. Buketov, Karipbayev B.I. , Dombayci M.A. ,   Gazi University
Published: January 2024

This article examines issues related to the development of scientific and methodological foundations for the study of the phenomenon of tolerance and ethno-confessional identity. Such a research course is determined by the need to update these foundations in order to meet the modern configurations of the phenomenon of tolerance and ethno-confessional identity. The author systematizes the existing scientific and methodological apparatus, critically evaluates it and offers a rather original symbiosis of scientific and methodological approaches and epistemological technologies. The author carries out an analytical assessment of the current state of tolerance as the most important principle of the communication space, speaks about the importance of implementing this principle. The author understands that it is in these communication axiological coordinates that the formation of civil society, the rule of law and civilizational space is possible. In his analysis, the author explores the most interesting and fruitful, from his point of view, scientific and methodological findings. The analysis proposed by the author allows, in his opinion, from a slightly different perspective to implement the Concept of “Zhana Kazakhstan”, in the value priorities of which tolerance is precisely designated as the basis of Kazakh society. In the same context, the author explores the phenomenon of ethno-confessional identity. The question “Who am I?” is decisive in a person's self-realization, in his self- determination. It is from these positions that the author explores this phenomenon.

Published: January 2024

В статье исследованы вопросы, связанные с разработкой научно-методологических основ изученияфеномена толерантности и этноконфессиональной идентичности. Такой исследовательский ракурсопределяется необходимостью обновления этих основ с целью их соответствия современным конфигурациям феномена толерантности и этноконфессиональной идентичности. Авторы систематизируют имеющийся научно-методологический аппарат, критически его оценивают и предлагают достаточно оригинальный симбиоз научно-методологических подходов и эпистемологических технологий. Осуществляют аналитическую оценку современного состояниятолерантности как важнейшего принципа  коммуникационного пространства, говорят о важностивнедрения этого принципа. Понимают, что именно в этих коммуникационных аксиологических координатах возможно формирование гражданского общества, правового государства и цивилизационного пространства. В своем исследовании авторы анализируют наиболее интересные и плодотворные, с их точки зрения, научно-методологические находки. Анализ, предложенный авторами, позволяет, по их мнению, несколько с иных позиций взлянуть на реализацию Концепции «Нового Казахстана», в ценностных приоритетах которого как раз и обозначена толерантность как основа казахстанского общества. В этом же контексте они изучают феномен этноконфессиональной идентичности. Вопрос «Кто Я?» является определяющим в самореализации человека, в его самоопределении. Именно с этих позиций и  исследован этот феномен.

Authors: Shakirov S.E. , Amangeldiyev A.A. , Mustafina T.V.
Published: January 2024

Integration processes, often seen as a way to cooperation and common prosperity, turn out to be complex studies that hide many subtle aspects within them that can either promote unity or lead to divisions. In this article, the authors consider the role of the conflict factor in integration processes. Conflictogenity means the tendency of certain factors to cause social conflicts and plays a significant role in determining the success or failure of integration efforts. Our article focuses on one of the important aspects of conflict, namely the process of cultural integration, which can hinder the smooth process of integration. The importance of cultural integration as the main strategy of cultural policy in Kazakhstan is emphasized in our article. This requires a scientific and methodological approach based on cultural principles. The research on cultural integration in Kazakhstan, its efforts to promote cooperation, preserve cultural heritage and support intercultural communication, should be a fundamental component of the integration process. Despite the fact that conflictogenity can cause problems, special attention is paid to strategies for their prevention and cooperation in our article. We analyze mechanisms that can overcome and prevent conflicts, ways to develop dialogue and mutual understanding. We also emphasize the importance of inclusive decision-making mechanisms and participatory measures that help defuse conflictogenity. Our considerations include the study of cultural dialogue, exchange of experiences and the protection of human rights as ways to strengthen intercultural harmony.

Waste management in switzerland and remarks to other countries
Authors: Stalder Franz
Published: January 2024

To understand the different situations in all countries it is necessary to compare the different mentality, financial situation, culture, politic, low and other influencing factors. Therefore, it is not possible to transfer one system from one country to another without special control of all possible situations. In most of the countries, cheap landfilling is popular. In Switzerland, since about 40 years ago landfilling of household waste was not allowed. The small county with 8.5 mi. inhabitants operate 25 incinerator plants for household- and hospital waste. There is also a recycling system in Switzerland, but recycling is too expensive. For this aspect, for most products a small part for the waste management is included in the selling price. The recycler gets this money paid by the waste foundation.

Financial distress is a condition of continuous financial decline in a company, caused by decision-making errors, management weaknesses, and lack of monitoring of inappropriate financial performance, which is a potential indicator of bankruptcy. This research aims to analyze the influence of profitability, leverage, liquidity, and good corporate governance on financial distress in non-financial companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2020-2022 period. The sampling technique used in this research was purposive sampling. A total of 771 companies have met the criteria as observation units. The analytical method used is multiple linear regression analysis based on classical assumptions. The research results reveal that profitability and leverage affect financial distress, while liquidity, the independent board of commissioners, and the audit committee do not affect financial distress.

Miao-Tam Equation and Ricci Solitons on Three-Dimensional Trans-Sasakian Generalized Sasakian Space-Forms
Authors: De Uday Chand , Mandal Tarak , Sarkar Avijit
Published: January 2024

The aim of the present article is to characterize some properties of the Miao-Tam equation on three-dimensional generalized Sasakian space-forms with trans-Sasakian structures. It has been proved that in such space-forms if the Miao-Tam equation admits non-trivial solution, then the metric of the space form must be a gradient Ricci soliton. We have derived that a non-trivial solution of the Fischer-Marsden equation does not exist on the said space-forms. We have also investigated certain features of Ricci solitons and gradient Ricci solitons. At the end of the article, we construct an example to verify the obtained results.

Authors: Yalfani Ali , Abedi Mitra , Raeisi Zahra , Asgarpour Azadeh
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is known as an important debilitating health condition among older women. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of eight-week virtual reality training (VRT) exercises on postural sway and physical function performance (PFP) among older women suffering from CLBP. METHODS: Twenty-seven older women presenting with CLBP were randomized into experimental and control groups. The experimental group was instructed to perform 30-minute VRT exercises three times a week for eight weeks. Plantar pressure variables [sway velocity (SV) and anterior-posterior (AP) and medial-lateral (ML) fluctuations of the center of pressure (CoP)], 30-second chair stand test (30CST), and timed up and go (TUG) test were recorded. RESULTS: The VRT group exhibited significant decreases in SV (p= 0.002), AP (p= 0.008), and ML (p= 0.02) fluctuations. Also, the performance of the VRT group in the 30CST and TUG tests significantly improved after the exercises (P< 0.001). CONCLUSION: According to the results, VRT and the program used in this study should be used to enhance balance and PFP in older women with CLBP who mostly prefer activities that are accessible and feasible in low-risk environments.

BACKGROUND:

The reduction of muscle mass and strength commonly observed after bariatric surgery might negatively affect the individual physical function. Muscle quality is also of functional relevance in different populations, but its significance in patients who underwent bariatric surgery has yet to be explored.

OBJECTIVE:

To examine the association between muscle strength and quality with physical function in women mid- to long-term after Roux-en-Y gastroplasty (RYGB).

METHODS:

In this cross-sectional study, 133 women (43.7[Formula: see text] 9.9 years) who have undergone RYGB at least two years before the study were included. All participants underwent body composition evaluation using DEXA and knee extensors peak moment (PM) using an isokinetic dynamometer. Muscle quality (MQ) was obtained through the ratio between absolute PM and dominant leg fat-free mass. Physical function was measured through the 30-second sit-to-stand (30-STS), 6-minute walking (6-MWT), and timed up-and-go (TUG) tests.

RESULTS:

Differences between PM tertiles were observed for 30-STS and 6-MWT tests. However, statistical significance disappeared when adjusting for age. Regarding PM relative to body weight, all functional tests were significantly different between tertiles. Comparing functional performance according to MQ tertiles, differences were found for 30-STS and 6-MWT tests, but significance disappeared when adjusting for age. Absolute PM was correlated to the 30-STS performance and 6-MWT, while PM relative to body mass and MQ were correlated with all functional tests.

CONCLUSIONS:

Muscle strength and quality seem to be associated with physical function in women mid-to-long-term after RYGB, but strength relative to bodyweight outperformed absolute strength and MQ.

Authors: Zhao Weisen
Published: January 2024

Electrochemical energy storage battery fault prediction and diagnosis can provide timely feedback and accurate judgment for the battery management system(BMS), so that this enables timely adoption of appropriate measures to rectify the faults, thereby ensuring the long-term operation and high efficiency of the energy storage battery system. Based on the idea of data driven, this paper applies the Long-Short Term Memory(LSTM) algorithm in the field of artificial intelligence to establish the fault prediction model of energy storage battery, which can realize the prediction of the voltage difference over-limit fault according to the operation data of the energy storage battery, and introduce the parameter of the difference between maximum voltage and minimum voltage(DMM) at the cluster level to quantitatively determine whether the battery cluster has a fault. It provides powerful guidance and effective methods for the safe and stable operation of electrochemical energy storage power stations.
