A Quantitative Analysis of the Belt and Road Initiative
Authors: Rizvi Syed Murtaza 
Published: November 2023

Purpose: The article aims to examine the effects of the Belt and Road Project (BRI) of China and its recent developments.
Methodology: It does this by analyzing the effects Chinese investments have had on their largest beneficiaries. The article considers several factors such as transport, energy, and debt profiles of the countries after receiving aid under BRI.
Findings: Through our analysis, we have found that the project is by far the most secure investment developing countries might have especially considering the diminishing aid of the USA and European countries. It is largely beneficial for both China and the beneficiaries encouraging economic growth. We have made our conclusions based on data reported through various research articles both domestic and international. These include but are not limited to papers from the SAIS-CARI website, the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), the World Bank, and the Boston University Energy Database.
Recommendations: We recommend that in the future studies should be further conducted on the progress of BRI projects that have been started or planned in the future as well as the effects previous long-term investments are currently having on beneficiaries. Some research should also be conducted comparing the effectiveness of loans from the US and European countries when compared with Chinese counterparts

Boundaries and Ethics of Borrowing from Different Cultures in Central European Countries
Authors: Mwangi Gabriel 
Published: November 2023

Purpose: The aim of this study was to debate the boundaries and ethics of borrowing from different cultures in central European countries.
Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low-cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.
Findings: The findings revealed that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to the boundaries and ethics of borrowing from different cultures in central European countries. Preliminary empirical review revealed that cultural borrowing in the fashion industry often raises concerns of cultural misappropriation, lack of recognition and compensation for the original cultures, and perpetuation of power imbalances. It emphasized the need for informed cultural exchange and collaboration. It is crucial to establish guidelines and policies that provide clear frameworks for ethical borrowing practices across various domains such as fashion, music, culinary arts, and visual arts.
Recommendations: The Cultural Appropriation Theory, Postcolonial Theory and Intercultural Communication Theory may be used to anchor future studies on boundaries and ethics of borrowing from different cultures in central European countries. Open dialogue should be encouraged, equal partnerships and meaningful collaborations between cultures is also essential. Also, legal frameworks should be developed to protect traditional knowledge, cultural heritage, and the rights of cultural communities.
The effectiveness of core stability addition in short wave diathermy and star excursion balance exercise in improving the functional ability of chronic ankle instability among taekwondo athletes
Authors: Kamayoga I Dewa Gede Alit , Utama A.A. Gd Eka Septian , M. Widnyana  , I Putu Yudi Pramana Putra  
Published: November 2023

Background: Taekwondo is based on sudden and violent attacks by the hands and feet; therefore, an injury can occur. Ankle sprains account for 15% to 20.8% of all sports injuries, and 72% of people who have experienced an ankle sprain report experiencing chronic ankle instability. Star excursion balance exercise is an exercise that increases the functional ability of the ankle. The shortwave diathermy intervention assists the ligaments' healing process as core stability exercise is necessary to activate postural control, which is a valuable component in treating chronic ankle instability. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of adding core stability to shortwave diathermy and star excursion balance exercise in improving the functional ability of chronic ankle instability in taekwondo.
Methods: The research used experimental research with a randomized pretest-posttest control group design. The technique used for sampling in this study is simple random sampling. There are two sample groups to be studied. The first group was given additional core stability through shortwave diathermy and star excursion balance exercise, and the second group was assigned the intervention of shortwave diathermy and star excursion balance exercise. The functional ability of the ankle is measured using the foot ankle disability index (FADI). There were 18 people in each group. The study was conducted three times a week for a month.
Results: The results showed significant differences in the two groups with p = 0.000. However, the intervention group was better at improving the functional ability of chronic ankle instability in taekwondo with a value of p = 0.002.
Conclusion: This study concludes that there are differences in adding core stability to the shortwave diathermy intervention and star excursion balance exercise in improving the functional ability of chronic ankle instability in taekwondo.
Automated riverbed composition analysis using deep learning on underwater images
Authors: Ermilov Alexander A. , Benkő Gergely , Baranya Sándor 
Published: November 2023

Abstract. The sediment of alluvial riverbeds plays a significant role in river systems both in engineering and natural processes. However, the sediment composition can show high spatial and temporal heterogeneity, even on river-reach scale, making it difficult to representatively sample and assess. Conventional sampling methods are inadequate and time-consuming for effectively capturing the variability of bed surface texture in these situations. In this study, we overcome this issue by adopting an image-based deep-learning (DL) algorithm. The algorithm was trained to recognise the main sediment classes in videos that were taken along cross sections underwater in the Danube. A total of 27 riverbed samples were collected and analysed for validation. The introduced DL-based method is fast, i.e. the videos of 300–400 m long sections can be analysed within minutes with continuous spatial sampling distribution (i.e. the whole riverbed along the path is mapped with images in ca. 0.3–1 m2 overlapping windows). The quality of the trained algorithm was evaluated (i) mathematically by dividing the annotated images into test and validation sets and also via (ii) intercomparison with other direct (sieving of physical samples) and indirect sampling methods (wavelet-based image processing of the riverbed images), focusing on the percentages of the detected sediment fractions. For the final evaluation, the sieving analysis of the collected physical samples were considered the ground truth. After correcting for samples affected by bed armouring, comparison of the DL approach with 14 physical samples yielded a mean classification error of 4.5 %. In addition, based upon the visual evaluation of the footage, the spatial trend in the fraction changes was also well captured along the cross sections. Suggestions for performing proper field measurements are also given; furthermore, possibilities for combining the algorithm with other techniques are highlighted, briefly showcasing the multi-purpose nature of underwater videos for hydromorphological assessment.
The Meaning of the Earth: Reading Nietzsche in the Anthropocene
Authors: Berthelier Benoît 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In this article, the author argues against a dominant trend in the literature on Nietzsche and the environment that is mostly concerned with assessing Nietzsche’s relevance to environmental ethics. The author departs from this trend by showing that Nietzsche can hardly provide the kind of intrinsic value theory typically needed to ground an environmental ethic. The author then suggests that an environmentalist reading of Nietzsche has much to gain from closer attention to his concept of “earth” and briefly outlines the evolution of this concept throughout the Nietzschean corpus. The author concludes by coming back to Zarathustra’s mysterious claim that “the overhuman shall be the meaning of the earth” and clarifying how, though it should not be thought of as a new foundation for an environmental ethic, it might still be significant in the context of the Anthropocene.
Cosmopolitan Discourse in Amin Maalouf’s Les Échelles du Levant
Authors: Lekesizalın Ferma 
Published: November 2023

ABSTRACT
This article investigates the cosmopolitan discourse of Amin Maalouf’s novel Les Échelles du Levant, published in English in 1996 as Ports of Call. Centered on Ossyane Ketabdar’s memories, the novel reconstructs the history of the Levant from the viewpoint of the oppressed and portrays the devastating effects of nationalism and national struggles on the Levantine cultures and societies. Born to a Turkish father and Armenian mother, Ossyane grows up in the cosmopolitan and multicultural atmosphere of Beirut, where he learns to question parochialisms. His cosmopolitan agency is based on the moral principle of recognition and respect for the other. Centered on an uprooted and liminal protagonist with a mixed identity, Les Échelles du Levant explores cosmopolitan agency as a form of resistance against homogenized and consolidated subject positions produced by the modern nation-states.

Published: November 2023

Gender inequality, one of the obstacles to the development and prosperity of countries, is among the world problems that need urgent solutions. Increasing the power of women, who have the potential for social transformation and innovation, plays an essential role in ensuring a more equitable and sustainable development. Therefore, studies on the interaction and the dynamics that feed each other between sustainability and gender inequality are considered necessary for today's modern world. This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of studies on the relationship between sustainability and gender inequality. The bibliometric analysis method, which includes statistical methods used to understand the citation relationships and publication trends of the studies, was used in the research. First, an extensive database search was conducted on the Web of Science (WoS) using the keywords 'women's equality' and 'sustainability' between 1998 and 2022, and 373 relevant papers were identified. The bibliographic information of the selected papers was then collected and recorded. This information includes authors, journals, year of publication, titles, and other bibliographic details. Then, the data obtained were evaluated by statistical analysis. The findings reveal that the scientific studies in the field gained momentum after 2015 and are predominantly in English. Moreover, regarding the field distribution of studies, it can be safely said that more publications are made in environmental areas, and Spain has the highest number of publications.

Authors: Violato Efrem , Corbett Carl , Rose Brady , Rauschning Benjamin , Witschen Brian 
Published: November 2023

Simulation is a crucial part of health professions education that provides essential experiential learning. Simulation training is also a solution to logistical constraints around clinical placement time and is likely to expand in the future. Large language models, most specifically ChatGPT, are stirring debate about the nature of work, knowledge and human relationships with technology. For simulation, ChatGPT may present a solution to help expand the use of simulation by saving time and costs for simulation development. To understand if ChatGPT can be used to write health care simulations effectively and efficiently, simulations written by a subject matter expert (SME) not using ChatGPT and a non-SME writer using ChatGPT were compared.Simulations generated by each group were submitted to a blinded Expert Review. Simulations were evaluated holistically for preference, overall quality, flaws and time to produce.The SME simulations were selected more frequently for implementation and were of higher quality, though the quality for multiple simulations was comparable. Preferences and flaws were identified for each set of simulations. The SME simulations tended to be preferred based on technical accuracy while the structure and flow of the ChatGPT simulations were preferred. Using ChatGPT, it was possible to write simulations substantially faster.Health Profession Educators can make use of ChatGPT to write simulations faster and potentially create better simulations. More high-quality simulations produced in a shorter amount of time can lead to time and cost savings while expanding the use of simulation.

Preparation of benzofuran-2-carbohydrazide and its utilization for benzofuran-bearing 1,2,4-triazole and 1,3,4-oxadiazole synthesis
Authors: Ngo Chau Thi 
Published: November 2023

Benzofuran, triazole and oxadiazole spontaneously occur in natural compounds with highly desired bioactivities, such as antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and anticancer. These cyclic scaffolds happen in a variety of commercial medicines as well as developed drugs in late-stage clinical trials (eg. amiodarone, ramelteon, zibotentan, and ataluren). Benzofuran-bearing triazole and oxadiazole can be synthesized by click reaction, requiring an alkynyl group. The formation of the alkynyl group can be achieved by treating the precursor with sodium azide, a poisonous chemical that needs safe conditions for manipulation. In this study, a simple and convenient reflux-based method for the synthesis of benzofuran-involved triazole and oxadiazole was developed. Firstly, benzofuran-2-carbohydrazide (3) was prepared by the reaction of salicylaldehyde and ethyl chloroacetate, followed by the treatment with hydrazine hydrate. Subsequently, compound (3) reacted with KOH, CS2 and hydrazine hydrate to afford 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol derivative (4), existing in a tautomeric form with its thione isomer (4b) in 1:3 of molar ratio. Intriguingly, the reaction of (3) and 4-fluorobenzaldehyde afforded N'-(4-fluorobenzoyl)-1-benzofuran-2-carbohydrazide (6) instead of 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives. Their structures were confirmed by NMR and MS. Altogether, this study implies the potential of using the simple and cost-effective reflux-based method for benzofuran-bearing triazole and oxadiazole synthesis.
