Published: November 2024

Background
People with severe or profound intellectual disability and visual impairment tend to have serious problems in orientation and mobility and need assistance for their indoor traveling. The use of technology solutions may be critically important to help them curb those problems and achieve a level of independence.

Objective
This study aimed to assess a new technology system to help people with severe to profound intellectual disability and blindness find room destinations during indoor traveling.

Methods
A total of 7 adults were included in the study. The technology system entailed a barcode reader, a series of barcodes marking the room entrances, a smartphone, and a special app that controlled the presentation of different messages (instructions) for the participants. The messages varied depending on whether the participants were (1) in an area between room entrances, (2) in correspondence with a room entrance to bypass, or (3) in correspondence with a room entrance representing the destination to enter. The intervention with the technology system was implemented according to a nonconcurrent multiple baseline design across participants. Sessions included 7 traveling trials, in each of which the participants were to reach and enter a specific room (1 of the 7 or 9 available) to deliver an object they had carried (transported) during their traveling.

Results
The participants’ mean frequency of traveling trials completed correctly was between zero and 2 per session during the baseline (without the system). Their mean frequency increased to between about 6 and nearly 7 per session during the intervention (with the system).

Conclusions
The findings suggest that the new technology system might be a useful support tool for people with severe to profound intellectual disability and blindness.
FUNÇÃO EXPONENCIAL
Authors: Ferreira Rodrigo dos Santos , Pereira da Costa André 
Published: November 2024

Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar as tarefas matemáticas dos capítulos sobre função exponencial de três livros didáticos do 1º ano do ensino médio de coleções distintas selecionados no atual PNLD (2016 – 2020), adotadas por escolas públicas da cidade de Barreiras – BA. Para realizar tal análise nos baseamos na classificação de tarefas de João Pedro da Ponte e na Teoria dos Registros de Representação Semiótica (TRRS) de Raymond Duval. Esta é, portanto, uma pesquisa exploratória, quanto aos seus objetivos, e documental, quanto aos procedimentos. Como principais resultados, constatamos uma forte tendência dos livros didáticos em propor tarefas de estrutura fechada principalmente atrelados a objetivos de fixação e repetição, além de problemas vinculados às aplicações da função exponencial, uma constante nas três obras. Verificamos também uma priorização massiva pela representação algébrica, além de uma maioria de tarefas que exigiam transição entre registros com o privilégio à sentidos congruentes. Acerca do ensino de função exponencial na educação básica, recomendamos que este processo ocorra por meio de abordagem de tarefas matemáticas distintas e que explorem diversos registros de representação semiótica. Além disso, a prática avaliativa deve levar em conta o fenômeno da congruência como elemento a ser considerado à aprendizagem dos estudantes.
Clearing the Hurdle of Corruption: Indonesia’s Path to OECD Accession
Authors: Cason Christopher Michael , Hefni Hanna Adistyana 
Published: November 2024

Indonesia has recently entered into formal talks with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). While debate persists about the wisdom of such a move, it is relevant to recognize that there are many hurdles to overcome. The OECD has provided Indonesia a roadmap outlining both procedures and substantive legislative provisions required for accession to the OECD treaty. Among these requirements, OECD membership candidates must establish law that are in compliance with the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention. Given Indonesia’s history, this component may pose a significant impediment to OECD membership. To explore this, the study examines the accession path of other recent members to the OECD and provides guidance for clear changes that are required to Indonesia’s legal framework surrounding corruption. This study found that compliance with the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention as imperative, as demonstrated by the experiences of countries that have recently joined the OECD and other candidate countries that are further along in the accession process than Indonesia. This research also demonstrates that significant legislative changes to Indonesia’s legal framework on corruption are required for full accession to the OECD Convention

Published: November 2024

The aims of this study is to describe the stages of implementing the Manik Beladau tradition in Nanga Mahap District, the compatibility and incompatibility between this tradition and Islam, and how Islam views this tradition. This research has used a qualitative approach and descriptive method. Meanwhile, data collection has been carried out by observation and interviews. The results showed that the aim of the Manik Beladau tradition was to prevent bad luck for the bride and groom by bathing them in water mixed with various flowers, leaves and fruit; then gave them water that had been prayed for; fumigated their bodies; and ordered them to step on eggs covered with lumps of rice. From an Islamic perspective, there is compatibility and incompatibility between this tradition and Islam. However, this tradition does not have to be abandoned because these conflicting things can still be modified so that they are compatible with Islam.

ABSTRAKTujuan dari penelitian ini ialah untuk mendeskripsikan tahapan pelaksanaan tradisi Manik Beladau di Kecamatan Nanga Mahap, mengungkap titik temu antara tradisi tersebut dengan ajaran Islam, serta mengetahui pandangan Islam terhadap tradisi tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan metode deskriptif. Sementara itu, pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan melakukan observasi dan wawancara. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tujuan dari tradisi Manik Beladau ialah untuk menghilangkan hal-hal buruk pada pasangan pengantin dengan cara memandikan mereka dengan air yang dicampur dengan berbagai bunga, daun, dan buah; kemudian memberikan mereka air yang sudah didoakan; mengasapi tubuh mereka; hingga menyuruh mereka menginjak telur yang ditutup dengan gumpalan nasi. Jika dinilai dari ajaran Islam, terdapat keselarasan dan pertentangan antara tradisi ini dengan Islam. Meski demikian, tradisi ini tidak lantas ditinggalkan sebab hal-hal yang bertentangan tersebut masih dapat diperbaiki sehingga ia dapat benar-benar sejalan dengan ajaran Islam.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
As people spend many hours looking at digital screens, the negative effects of artificial blue light are becoming more apparent. While most research has focused on its effects on eyes, less is known about the effects of blue light on the skin, where similar photoreceptors are located. Unlike the sunscreens against UVB and UVA radiation, there is no standard method for determining skin protection against blue light. The lipophilic complex Carotolino, a system combining carrot root extract, carrot seed oil, and β-carotene, was chosen as a model substance for this research. Spectrophotometric investigation demonstrated the ability of Carotolino to absorb radiation in the blue light region (400—500 nm). After a 60-minute LED@450 nm exposure, corresponding to the maximum wavelength of radiation from the displays of common smartphones, only small changes (1.4 %) in the optical spectra were observed. The spectra showed sufficient photostability of Carotolino and its stabilizing effect on the photolabile Ubiquinone. In the 415—455 nm wavelength range associated with oxidative stress, Carotolino (0.4 % wt.) reduced blue light by ∼97.0 %. EPR spin trapping showed that blue light with a maximum wavelength of 450 nm causes significant formation of reactive free radicals, which can be partially eliminated by the application of Carotolino. The results confirmed the suitability of both methods to evaluate the effectiveness of substances to reduce physical impact of incident light on the skin. Further methods are needed to investigate biological protection of skin against blue light by promising substances.
Quantum-chemical studies of infrared spectra of 15N labeled diazene isomers
Authors: Breza Martin , Gatial Anton 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The geometry of trans-HN=NH, cis-HN=NH and N=NH2 containing no, one or two 15N labeled atoms was optimized. The corresponding infrared vibrations were evaluated using a linear scaling factor. For each of these compounds at least one vibration can be found, which enables to distinguish between heteroisotopic 14N=15N and homoisotopic 14N=14N or 15N=15N species. Independent of the 15N labeling, only trans-conformation should be found in the reaction mixture under equilibrium conditions.

Abstract
This study investigates the use of Corrosion Health Monitoring (CHM) systems to detect and manage corrosion in aviation environments, with a specific focus on enclosed areas within aircraft structures. Corrosion poses significant risks to airport facilities and aircraft, and CHM systems offer real-time monitoring and data-driven approaches for proactive corrosion management. Through case studies conducted at two different test sites, the effectiveness of deploying advanced sensors was demonstrated in identifying corrosion-prone areas, optimizing maintenance schedules, and enhancing safety and structural integrity. The study highlights the variability in corrosion rates between openair and enclosed conditions, emphasizing the need for tailored prevention strategies. It also discusses the challenges of integrating CHM systems into existing maintenance practices and airport infrastructure, addressing issues such as sensor placement, data management, and regulatory compliance, and outlines future directions for R&D in this critical area. By incorporating CHM systems, the aviation industry can transition from reactive to predictive maintenance, improving the reliability and lifespan of assets while reducing costs.
Achieving Survival of Social Enterprise Through Entrepreneurial Marketing: An Empirical Analysis of Nigeria
Authors: NWANKWO Cosmas Anayochukwu , KANYANGALE MacDonald Isaac 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The application of entrepreneurial marketing (EM) strategies to the sustainability of profit and non-profit making ventures has drawn critics from practitioners and academic domains. Many have argued that EM dimensions are designed for profit marking ventures and not for profit venture. This informed the need to examine the effect of EM on the survival of social enterprises (SEs) in Nigeria. The study selected SEs staff in Anambra State, Nigeria using a quantitative research approach. Data were collected from 387 SE staff using a structured questionnaire. Hypotheses were tested using International Business Machine Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (IBM-SPSS) and International Business Machine -Statistical Package for the Social Sciences - Analysis of Moment Structures (IBM-SPSS-AMOS) version 27 that runs exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling (SEM). The findings revealed that all the EM dimensions, except market sensing, have significant and positive effect on the survival of SEs in Nigeria. Therefore, the study concluded that EM has significant effect on the survival of SEs in Anambra State, Nigeria. The study recommended that practitioners should adopt and implement EM dimensions as the basic enablers that would sustain the existence of SEs in both Nigeria and beyond.
Youth’s Awareness about Skin Cancer, with Particular Emphasis on Melanoma
Authors: Zaborska Monika , Marek Anita , Ogonowska Weronika , Niedbał Zuzanna , Michalik-Marcinkowska Urszula 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Background:
Cancer is a health problem both in Poland and around the world due to its incidence and potential mortality. Melanoma is a malignant skin tumor that originates from melanocytes. It is the most important risk associated with UV radiation. An important topic is the promotion of knowledge of it among young people from an early age to prevent skin lesions. Skin disease prevention should be discussed at subsequent stages of school education. Children and adolescents should be aware of the negative effects of UV radiation.

Objectives:
The study aimed to assess the level of knowledge and use of protection by primary and secondary school students regarding the occurrence and prevention of skin cancer, with particular emphasis on melanoma.

Material and methods:
As many as 224 young people took part in the study. An original questionnaire was used, consisting of sociodemographic questions and questions checking young people’s knowledge about skin cancer risk factors and skin disease prevention. The survey was voluntary and anonymous. To check the statistical significance of the obtained results, the significance level of p < 0.05 was adopted.

Results:
Skin problems occurred in 38.84% (N = 87) of respondents. Most of the respondents (80.36%, N = 180) do not use solariums and are aware that solariums are the main factor causing melanoma (81.70%, N = 183). As many as 78.57% (N = 176) of respondents claim that skin disease prevention has never been discussed at school and most young people (60.27%, N = 135) do not know about dermatoscopic examination. Most students (70.54%, N = 158) expressed their desire to expand their knowledge about skin diseases and their prevention.

Conclusions:
Due to the limited knowledge of children and adolescents about skin cancers, including melanoma, as well as the common disregard among this group of preventive measures related to the broadly understood prevention of their development, further theoretical education and promotion of healthy behaviors that reduce the risk of the disease are necessary.
Public control in Antarctica: towards a problem statement
Authors: Maksimov Aleksandr Alekseevich , SCHegolev Igor'  Borisovich , Savchenko Marina  Stanislavovna 
Published: November 2024

This article is devoted to the analysis of modern problems related to the possibility and necessity of organizing and implementing public control in Antarctica. The territory of Antarctica currently does not belong to any of the states of the planet, however, a number of countries, represented by their representatives (including military personnel), carry out their activities on the territory of this continent, which creates or may pose a threat to the environmental security of this region of the world. The norms of international law have consolidated the institution of observers, who are sent by States that are parties to the Antarctic Treaty of 06/23/1961. However, the civil society of the countries participating in this Treaty, other international and interstate agreements on Antarctica, for example, the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources, as well as the Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources, in fact, is excluded from monitoring the activities, acts and decisions of both these international organizations and public authorities national States authorized to explore Antarctica and participate in international relations in this area. In the course of scientific research, a number of scientific methods were used, including: formal-logical; comparative-legal; historical-legal; statistical; sociological; method of analyzing specific legal situations. In this regard, the authors of the article analyzed international legislation on Antarctica, the mechanism of its development, conservation of natural resources, demilitarization, etc. The paper substantiates the need for the organization and control of civil society over the activities, acts and decisions of international governmental organizations, as well as public authorities of national states authorized to develop Antarctica and participate in international relations in this field. The authors formalized and analyzed the main problems that hinder the implementation of this control in this area. The article develops and substantiates a system of measures to resolve these problems, including by making appropriate changes and additions to the norms of international law, as well as national legislation on public control.
Ладовая формульность в песнях эвенков Якутии
Authors: Л.И. Кардашевская 
Published: November 2024

Статья посвящена проблеме формульных напевов в регинальной традиции, а именно рассмотрению ладовых закономерностей в песнях эвенков Якутии. Материалом для исследования послужили песенные традиции эвенков трех локусов Якутии (Алданского, Олёкминского, Оленёкского районов (улусов)). В статье отмечаются преобладающие ладовые структуры, выявляются интервальные соотношения между ладовыми опорами в эвенкийских лирических песнях, колыбельных и обрядовых напевах. При сравнительном изучении напевов установлены особенности, характерные для определенных локальных групп: песни алданских, олёкминских эвенков основаны на ангемитонном тетрахорде в объеме чистой квинты с интервальной структурой 3–2–2; песни оленёкских эвенков основаны на дихордовых (в объеме секунды либо терции) либо трихордовых ладах в объеме терции с интервальной структурой 2–2; в напевах алданских и олёкминских эвенков отмечается ладоопорный комплекс из трех устоев, состоящих в малотерцовом и большетерцовом интервальном соотношении (реже двух устоев, находящихся в квинтовом соотношении).
This article is devoted to the problem of formulaic melodies in a regional tradition, in this case, to modal patterns in the songs of the Evenki of Yakutia. It examines Evenki song traditions of three areas of Yakutia (the Aldan, Olekminsky, and Oleneksky districts [ulusy]). The article notes the predominant harmonic structures and reveals the interval relationships among them in Evenk lyrical songs, lullabies and ritual melodies. A comparative study of the melodies reveals features characteristic of certain local groups: the songs of the Aldan and Olekminsky Evenki are based on an angemythonic tetrachord in the volume of pure quinta with the interval structure 3–2–2; the songs of the Olenek Evenki are based are on a dichord (in the volume of second or tertia) or on trichordal harmonies in the volume of tertia with the interval structure 2–2; in the melodies of the Aldan and Olekminsky Evenki, there is a harmonic complex of three abutments consisting of a small-thumb and a large-thumb interval ratio (less often, two abutments in a fifth ratio).
Специфические приемы интонирования в песенной традиции дэгэрэҥ у северных саха
Authors: В.Е. Дьяконова , Н.Н. Варламова 
Published: November 2024

Северные саха — уроженцы арктических и субарктических улусов (районов) Республики Саха (Якутия). Их ближайшими соседями являются коренные малочисленные народы Севера эвены и эвенки. В статье речь идет о разновидностях напевов в стиле дэгэрэҥ со специфическими типами фонации, бытовавших в традиционной песенной культуре северных саха. К ним относятся напевы с гортанными хрипами хабарҕа ырыата, нёбное пение таҥалай ырыата, пение в нос мурун ырыата и гнусавое пение хоҥсуо ырыа. В отличие от напевов с подобными типами фонаций, бытовавших в Центральной Якутии, напевам северных саха присуща обрядовая функция. Для напевов в манере таҥалай ырыата, хабарҕа ырыата, хоҥсуо ырыа характерно наличие тембровых преамбул со специфическими призвуками на вдох и выдох. Отличительной чертой манеры пения в нос мурун ырыата является интонирование всего напева в назализованной (носовой) звукоподаче. Статья основана на полевых материалах авторов, записанных в 2014 и 2024 гг. в Абыйском и Верхоянском улусах Якутии, полевых материалах Ю. И. Шейкина и научной литературе. Впервые сделано обобщение сведений о разновидностях напевов в стиле дэгэрэҥ со специфическими типами фонации Центральной и Северной Якутии, проведен сравнительный анализ песен северных саха со специфической манерой исполнения по типу интонирования и жанровой специфике, приводятся нотировки ранее неизученных песен, уточняется термин мурун ырыата.
The Northern Sakha, whose nearest neighbors are the Evens and Evenki, indigenous small-population peoples of the North, are natives of the Arctic and Subarctic uluses (districts) of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). This article deals with the varieties of “degeren” style chants with specific types of phonation that exist in the traditional song culture of the Northern Sakha people. These include chants with guttural wheezes (khabargha yryata), palatal singing (tangalai yryata), nasal singing (murun yryata) and twangy singing (khongsuo yrya). Unlike chants with similar types of phonation in central Yakutia, the northern Sakha chants are characterized by a ceremonial function. Chants in the manner of tangalai yryata, khabarga yryata and khongsuo yrya have special timbre preambles with specific sounds of inhalation and exhalation. A distinctive feature of the manner of murun yryata is the intonation of the whole chant in a nasalized manner. The article is based on the authors’ field materials recorded in 2014 and 2024 in the Abyisky and Verkhoyanskiy uluses of Yakutia; field materials collected by Yu. I. Sheykin; and the existing secondary literature. It attempts to draw conclusions on the varieties of degeren-style songs with specific types of phonation that appear in central and northern Yakutia. Further, it juxtaposes an analysis of Northern Sakha songs with their manner of performance in terms of intonation type and genre specificity; notations of previously unstudied songs are given, and the term “murun yryata” is clarified.
