Authors: Wan Yan 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Virtual reality technology has a high priority in the field of English language teaching, and it is used to enhance learners’ language proficiency through the way of integrating virtual reality technology into the process of English language teaching in colleges and universities. In order to confirm the hypothesis, freshman and junior students of a university were selected as the research subjects and the English teaching model of this paper was set as the experimental group, while the traditional English teaching model was the control group. Combining the scale data and independent samples t-test, the four dimensions of listening (listening), speaking (speaking), reading (reading in writing) and writing (writing) confirm the effect of this English teaching model on students’ language proficiency. In the dimensions of students’ listening (listening), speaking (speaking), reading (written reading), and writing (writing) abilities, there is a significant difference between the traditional English teaching mode and the English teaching mode of this paper (P<0.05), which greatly confirms the facilitating effect of the teaching mode of this paper on the enhancement of the language ability of the learners.

Authors: Xing Qiang 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Driven by science and technology, the amount of information in today’s society has increased at an unprecedented rate, and the explosion of big sports data has brought challenges to the development of sports data mining. For the education of physical education courses, in order to comply with the educational requirements of the times, based on the rise of the sports recognition model in recent years, this paper carries out sports recognition and evaluation on the basis of data mining to achieve the auxiliary efficacy of physical education course teaching. The study first conducted an in-depth analysis of the data mining technology, and then in order to guarantee the accuracy of the sports behaviour data, this paper compared and analysed different processing methods so as to select a third-order low-pass filter. Subsequently, a sports recognition and assessment model based on the random forest algorithm is proposed, and in the comparative analysis of the algorithms, it can be seen that the recognition method in this paper has the best recognition and assessment effect, and the average recognition rate is as high as 0.924. Based on this, this paper constructs an education management system for the education of physical education courses, which is composed of a data source, a data access layer, a data storage layer, a data analysis layer, an application layer, and a support function, and finally, it takes 30 students of M Physical Education College as the experimental objects to carry out the teaching experiment and to analyse the actual performance base of the students. Before and after the teaching experiment, the experimental group based on the teaching system of this paper to assist in teaching the performance of all indicators by a significant improvement, and P is less than 0.05. At the same time, after the teaching experiment, its average performance is much higher than the control group, which shows that this paper is based on the data mining construction of the physical education teaching system that can actually improve the effect of physical education courses.

Abstract

Study aim
The study compared the effects of speed, agility, and quickness (SAQ) training performed on grass versus sand surfaces on improvements in sprinting, jumping, and change of direction speed (CODS).

Materials and methods
Twenty-four male university soccer players were randomly assigned to SAQ training on grass or sand surfaces. The intervention lasted four weeks with a weekly frequency of two sessions. The variables assessed were 30-m linear sprint, CODS, countermovement jump (CMJ), drop jump (DJ; jump height, ground contact time [GCT], reactive strength index [RSI]), squat jump (SJ), standing long jump (SLJ), and triple-hop distance. A two-by-two mixed design ANOVA was used to analyze the training effects.

Results
A significant positive main effect of time was observed for CMJ, DJ, and SJ height (p < 0.001) and triple-hop distance, with significant pre-to-post improvement in both groups (all p < 0.001). In addition, a negative main effect of time was observed for DJ GCT and DJ RSI (p = <0.001–0.024), with a significant increase in DJ GCT for both groups but a significant decrease in DJ RSI only for the group training on sand. No main effect of time was found for the 30-m linear sprint, CODS, or SLJ distance (p = 0.080–0.792). An interaction effect on CMJ height was noted (p = 0.027), favoring the group training on the sand surface.

Conclusion
SAQ training on grass and sand surfaces showed similar improvements in the DJ, SJ, and triple-hop performance. However, compared to the grass surface, training on the sand surface induced greater improvements in CMJ but showed negative effects on DJ RSI.
Sustainability of Shared e-Scooter Services in Riga

Published: December 2024

Abstract
This study examines the shared electric scooter usage patterns in Riga across 2021 and 2022 and assesses the potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the city’s urban transport system. Analysing 3.9 million scooter trips over the two-year period, the research highlights a tripling in the use of shared scooters and a shift towards shorter rides, resulting in an average use of only 7 km per day per scooter. This trend has resulted in CO2 emissions to 54.16 g CO2 per passenger kilometre, raising the total emissions from shared scooters in 2022 to 163.3 tonnes, and in fact increasing the net transportation CO2 emissions in Riga by 49.2 tonnes, by largely replacing zero-emission modes of transport like walking. In response to these challenges, the research explores the implementation of photovoltaic (PV) energy-powered charging docks as a method to maintain scooter operations. While energy consumption is not the largest contributor to the scooters’ CO2 emissions, by also eliminating the need for scooter transportation for charging the adoption of on-site generated PV energy could yield a substantial CO2 emission reduction of up to 34 %. This approach could hypothetically result in a 71-tonne reduction in CO2 emissions from electric scooters, thus potentially establishing scooters as a net positive influence to Riga’s transport emissions, producing a net 11 tonne CO2 emisssion reduction.

HARI-HARA: TRADITION OF SYNCRETISM IN SOUTH EAST ASIA SPECIAL REFERENCE TO BRAHMAPUTRA VALLEY
Authors: Baruah Chinmoy Jyoti , Patowary Kamal Nayan 
Published: December 2024

This research article aims at examining the tradition of syncretism in Southeast Asia with a special reference to the region of the Brahmaputra Valley and in connection with the deity Hari-Hara. Eclecticism implies the integration of various information flows, religious, cultural, and philosophical, which has been traditionally significant for the formation of spiritual and social models in the areas with interactions of several traditions. In Southeast Asia particularly the Khmer Empire, the syncretism of Shaivism and Vaishnavism together with Hindu and Buddhists is evident in the worship of Hari-Hara; Vishnu- Shiva. This syncretic practice was not only a sign of religious tolerance but also expressed political power and social integration under kings such as Jayavarman VII embodied in temple architectures including Angkor Wat and Bayon temples. By contrast, the case of the Brahmaputra Valley in India can be singled out as the example of syncretism between tribal and Brahmanical practices when the local indigenous cults were gradually intertwined with the Hindu ones and produced such localized forms of Hari-Hara. The Deopani Hari-Hara sculptures of the Doiyang Dhansiri Valley elucidate the syncretization of classical Brahmanical elements with tribal regional forms. While syncretism in the Khmer Empire was more political, more centrally driven and less successful than the one in the Brahmaputra Valley which was predominantly the result of protracted social contact and the Bhakti movement’s stress on individual devotion and tolerance. The research article also shows how Hari-Hara became an important identity for religious and cultural syncretism in both regions, allowing the harmonious interaction of different religions and improving political authority. Analyzing artistic, architectural and socio-political aspects of Hari-Hara worship in this study reveals the values of syncretism as a function of integrationist in maintaining social cohesion as well as preserving the political authority. Finally, the comparison of the Brahmaputra Valley with mainland Southeast Asia brings further understanding of the processes that produce and sustain syncretic religious cultures, enriching religious diverse topographies of these areas.

The workforce shortage in the market, combined with the lack of important competencies and the high personnel mobility, are becoming a critical factor in the development of business organizations around the world. The lack of highly qualified personnel for domestic business organizations that operate under conditions of military aggression from Russia is particularly painful. Strategic talent management is a response to the need to increase the efficiency of intellectual resources usage in order to solve a wide range of organizational tasks, in particular, developing innovative products, optimizing management decisions, achieving competitive advantages and creating additional value. Developing a talent management strategy is considered as the starting point in talent management. A talent management strategy aims to improve business efficiency and is a step-by-step program of actions to optimize the performance of high-performing employees through the application of various management tools in the process of attracting, adapting, developing, motivating and retaining talent. The purpose of the article was to establish the principles of construction and a general algorithm for developing a talent management strategy in a business organization. Based on the defined principles, a three-stage scheme for developing a talent management strategy was formed. The initiation stage establishes the key parameters of the strategy development process, taking into account strategic goals and resource constraints. The activation stage determines measures to attract and adapt talents to reach a stable level of productivity. The integration stage refers to measures aimed at ensuring the long-term life cycle of talents, their deep awareness of their role, the achievement of optimal productivity and valuable results for the company. As a practical tool, a template of nine blocks is offered that reflect the specific management actions needed to develop a sound talent management strategy. This allows to provide analysis of the current situation in talent management and develop a reasonable program of actions regarding further measures of effective interaction with them to achieve the organization's strategic business goals.

Віддаленість причинного зв’язку у деліктному праві
Authors: КАРНАУХ Богдан 
Published: December 2024

Здійснено пошук робочого критерію, який би дав змогу оцінити віддаленість причинного звʼязку. Дослідження юридично значущої (наближеної) причини має принципово іншу природу, ніж дослі­дження фактичної причини. Фактична причин­ність визначає, чи належить діяння до "ланцюга" причинно-наслідкових звʼязків, що призвели до шкоди; юридична причинність становить собою причинну селекцію, яка полягає у визначенні відпо­відальної причини на основі міркувань правової політики. Зроблено висновок, що головним кри­терієм для оцінки віддаленості причинного звʼязку має бути критерій деліктизуючого ризику. Суть цього критерію полягає в тому, що відпові­дальність особи за наслідки своєї протиправної поведінки має бути обмежена лише тією шкодою, ризик завдання якої зробив цю поведінку проти­правною, оскільки справедливо, щоб підстава відповідальності (вина) слугувала одночасно і її кордоном. Дослідження деліктизуючих ризиків має включатися до комплексного аналізу делікт­ного інциденту, а разом з ним також і установ­лення того, чи належить шкода, фактично завдана потерпілому, до категорії шкоди, ризик завдання якої зробив поведінку деліквента протиправною. На додаток до цього для оцінки віддаленості причинного звʼязку мають враховуватися також і інші міркування, які в широкому смислі можна назвати міркуваннями правової політики. Ці міркування будуються на уявленні про те, яких глобальних соціально-економічних результатів має досягати право, і вирішення конкретної деліктної справи сприятиме або перешкоджатиме досягненню таких результатів. Доктрина віддаленості причин­ного звʼязку (меж відповідальності) – це останній рубіж комплексного дослідження на предмет відшкодовності понесених особою втрат. І тому вкрай важливо, аби, застосовуючи її, суди наво­дили дійсні мотиви своїх міркувань, в тому числі економічні міркування і повʼязані з ними мірку­вання правової політики.
Comic Timing in Contemporary Slapstick Films
Authors: Schempp Alaina P. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
A theory of comic timing in contemporary slapstick films based on the incongruity theory of humor is put forward. Comic timing is defined as perceived durational incongruity represented by two distinct types of rhythms: (1) in the standard perceived durational incongruity, the setup of the gag is durationally longer than the payoff; (2) in the non-standard perceived durational incongruity, extended duration functions as a self- referential tool for humor because it subverts the spectator's expectations for how long payoffs should be. The extended duration gag represents a metajoke about the nature of comic timing. Two additional factors of perceived durational incongruity are considered including when the setup and payoff are separated by a dramatic beat, which provides time for the spectator to understand the setup and make predictions about the outcome and when the setup is interrupted by the payoff, amounting to a non-threatening surprise that evokes humor.

Published: December 2024

Tiny house umumnya lebih menekankan pada kesimbangan desain dibandingkan dengan ukuran, pengguna akan lebih memilih menggunakan furniture yang multifungsi untuk meminimalisir penggunaan banyak furniture dan mengoptimalkan ruang (Pratiwi, 2023).Ukurannya yang kecil membuat pembagian ruangan dibuat seefisien mungkin namun mencukupi kebutuhan penghuni. Sehingga penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mencari system pergerakan secara antropometri orang Indonesia terhadap tiny house. Dalam penelitian ini data pengukuran dari object penelitian yang simulasikan melalui identifikasi fungsi ruang, perabot dan aktifitas yang ada didalamnya. Kemudian digambarkan dalam bentuk layout dengan menampilkan pola dan fungsi ruang. Pengecekan populasi yang tinggal di dalam 3 (tiga) type tiny house tersebut yang berlokasi di 3 (tiga) area berbeda di Bali. Simulasi dilakukan dengan menggunakan komputer dan perangkat lunak berupa Sketch Up. Dari hasil penelitian dapat dilihat bahwa tiny house dengan desain yang bijaksana dapat mengubah bahkan ruang terkecil menjadi lingkungan hidup yang fungsional dan nyaman. Ruangan tampak lebih besar dan multifungsi jika digabungkan. Penggunaan furnitur minimalis juga mempengaruhi desain ruangan yang ada, dimana pemilihan yang tepat membuat kesan luas, namun sebaliknya ruangan bisa terkesan sempit.
