Published: January 2025

Abstract
Monocular depth estimation is one of the essential tasks in computer vision as it can provide depth information from 2D images and is extremely beneficial for applications such as autonomous driving, robot navigation, etc. Monocular depth estimation has significantly improved over the past couple of years and deep learning-based methods have surpassed traditional and machine learning-based methods. Deep learning-based methods have further been enhanced using transformer and hybrid approaches. This paper first discusses the sensors used for depth estimation and their limitations. Then, we briefly discuss the evolution of depth estimation. Then we dive into the deep learning methods including transformer and CNN-transformer hybrid methods and their limitations. Later, we discuss several methods addressing challenging weather conditions. Finally, we discuss the current trends, challenges and future directions of the transformer and hybrid methods.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the protective effects of dietary Rosmarinus officinalis leaf on water quality, growth performance, oxidative stress, stress hormones and heat shock proteins in Common Carp Cyprinus carpio (40.41±2.28 g). In a 56 days feeding trial, fish were exposed to (25 and 50 % of the LC50 corresponding 3.57 and 7.14 mg/l respectively) of WSF and fed diets containing (0 and 0.1 %) rosemary. The results showed that the concentrations of water quality parameters were within acceptable range and are sufficient to sustain common carp. The results showed a significant decrease in growth parameters and feed utilization in the WSF-exposed groups, whereas the growth parameters improved in the rosemary fed fish. The serum, liver and gill malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels were significantly increased, whereas ROS and GR were significantly (P<0.05) decreased in the WSF-exposed groups. The serum, liver and gill heat shock proteins (HSP70 and HSP90) were significantly increased in WSF-exposed groups. Similar, the levels of triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) in serum and gill were significantly elevated in response to exposure fish to WSF. The cortisol level in serum and gill tissues was significantly elevated in WSF fish versus to the control. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) level in serum and gill was significantly decreased in exposed groups compared with unexposed groups. In the liver, the level of T4 and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) were significantly (P<0.05) increased by exposing fish to WSF whereas, the level of T3 showed an opposite trend. The cortisol level in liver was significantly (P<0.05) decreased especially in fish exposed to 50% of WSF. However, dietary supplementation of rosemary improving growth performance, feed utilization, oxidative stress markers, HSP and stress hormone parameters especially in fish exposed to highest concentration. The results of the present study indicated that the exposure of common carp Cyprinus carpio juveniles to sublethal concentration of WSF is capable of inducing homeostatic stress leading to alterations in growth performance, heat shock proteins and stress hormone parameters of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio). Furthermore, inclusion rosemary as feed additives succeed to improve growth performance, and mitigate the deleterious effects of crude oil pollution in comparison fish fed basal diet without rosemary supplementation.
Effect of Solution Annealing on Corrosion Resistance of Austenitic Stainless Steels in Chloride-Containing Environment

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Austenitic stainless steels are highly corrosion-resistant in common oxidation environments. However, aggressive chloride-containing solutions can evoke local corrosion, which performs an important risk in the safe use of these materials. This research deals with the effect of the solution annealing (1050 °C, 15 min) on the electrochemical parameters of AISI 304 and AISI 316L stainless steels. Corrosion resistance of the solution-annealed specimens is evaluated and compared to the as received specimens by the potentiodynamic polarization test performed in 1M pH neutral NaCl solution at the 20 ± 3 °C temperature. The obtained results did not clearly confirm the positive effect of solution annealing on corrosion resistance in the given aggressive solution. Although the pitting potentials indicating higher pitting corrosion resistance increased, the kinetics of the corrosion process intensified.

Abstract
As customer needs and expectations change, and as competitive pressures and technological advances increase, organisations are forced to continuously improve their products and processes. The use of quality management methods and tools stimulates organisations to analyse customer requirements, to define the processes that contribute to the creation of a customer-acceptable product, and to keep these processes under control. The present paper deals with improving the manufacturing process of conveyor sorting belts, specifically the problem of opening joints on CSC belts. By forming a team and their joint efforts, the root causes of the problem in the CSC belt manufacturing process were identified using the Ishikawa diagram and action plan, and several corrective measures were proposed. The root causes that were likely related to the occurrence of the joint opening problem on the CSC belts prior to its detection include: hiring new staff for the LBWC department, purchasing four new Fonmar ALFA heat presses, rebuilding the Rodder & Piller die-cutting equipment, changing the way the belt joints are cut, implementing an unwinding system on the Rodder & Piller equipment, and changing the pressing parameters. Among the deficiencies found in connection with the monitored process are: uneven shape of the cut teeth, life of the strips - dynamic tests, presence of polyurethane in the joint. Corrective measures taken include: use of modular roller belt, inspection of joints using work lights. These corrective measures have also been implemented, with verification validating these measures.

Comparison of Terms and Concepts used in Different Subject Pedagogies and Academic Research Associations in Japan
Authors: Watanabe Tatsuya 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Since 2022, the Research Promotion Committee of the Japan Consortium for Subject Pedagogy Associations has compared the terminology of various subject pedagogies. This study focuses on three terms: “inquiry”, “criticism” and “understanding.” It compares their actual use of them in each subject of the Japan National Courses of Study as well as in the glossaries published by each subject-pedagogy-related academic association in order to identify similarities and differences between subject areas and clarify each characteristic.
In natural science-oriented subject pedagogy such as science and mathematics, or semi-natural-science-oriented subject pedagogy such as home economics, “inquiry,” “criticism,” and “understanding” were defined as they are in the learning sciences by J. Schwab, R. Ennis, R. J. Marzano, and others. This may be because “inquiry”, “criticism” and “understanding” were associated with scientific thinking in the learning sciences, convenient for natural-science- oriented subject areas.
However, in subject pedagogy in the humanities domain, such as in Japanese language, definitions from critical pedagogy and Geisteswissenschaften (hermeneutics) have influenced the language use and are actively in circulation. In subject pedagogies that straddled the social science and humanities domains, such as social studies, definitions taken from the learning sciences, from critical pedagogy or from the Geisteswissenschaften were used. This is the case because the learning science approach, which links “inquiry,” “criticism,” and “understanding” with scientific thinking, objectivity, and rationality, cannot incorporate the philosophy of some subject pedagogy, such as Japanese language and social studies, or explain the reality of these subject education.
Social Studies and Science Education as Specific Subject Pedagogies in Comparison: State of the Art, Research Approaches and Challenges
Authors: Sakaue Hiroaki , Nakamura Daiki 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This study discusses the commonalities and differences between Social Studies and Science education in Japan, focusing on the curriculum structure, research themes, and educational roles. Both subjects are central to fostering students’ understanding of society and nature, with Social Studies rooted in the social sciences and Science in the natural sciences. The analysis highlights shared elements, such as problem-solving and inquiry- based learning, and the presence of both integrated courses (e.g., “Science and Our Daily Life” and “Modern and Comprehensive History”) and specialized subjects (e.g., “Basic Biology” and “Advanced Japanese History”). Despite certain similarities, these subjects differ in their research focus. Science education often addresses students’ misconceptions and cognitive development, whereas Social Studies research rarely extends beyond lesson-based studies to explore students’ prior knowledge. Examining these subjects in parallel clarifies their distinct methodological approaches and foundational principles, thereby providing insights into the broader positioning of Social Studies and Science education research in Japan.
Police Education and SDG 16: An Assessment of AESP in the Context of Ceará’s Public Security Policies
Authors: Diógenes José Lenho Silva , Chacon Suely Salgueiro , Torres Tayana Cibele Canafístula 
Published: January 2025

Objective: This study analyzes the role of the State Public Security Academy (AESP) in implementing a multidisciplinary and humanistic police education model, focusing on SDG 16.

Theoretical Framework: Drawing on an institutional perspective, the research examines AESP as a foundational agency within public security policies in Ceará. It discusses the shift from a “police training” paradigm to “police education,” articulating the concept of citizen security as an alternative to traditionally militaristic models.

Method: This qualitative research comprises document analysis (normative frameworks, PDIs, administrative and financial reports), literature review, and participant observation carried out by one of the authors, a military police officer working at AESP. These steps enabled an investigation of the structural, cultural, and budgetary changes influencing police education.

Results and Discussion: The study identified organizational adaptations, AESP’s registration as a research institution, and targeted extension initiatives. Yet, challenges remain, such as the disconnection between AESP and autonomous research entities like SUPESP, resistance to interdisciplinarity between civil and military forces, and a legislative proposal for restructuring that may fragment academic integration and hinder alignment with SDG 16.

Research Implications: Strengthening the interdependence of teaching, research, and extension is recommended, overcoming organizational segmentation and prioritizing democratic values and citizenship. The research shows how institutional and cultural policies affect the implementation of police education.

Originality/Value: By proposing an integrated police education approach aligned with SDG 16, the study contributes to debates on the strategic role of security academies in higher education for public security, fostering justice, social inclusion, and sustainable governance.
ГАЛИЦЬКА МЕМУАРИСТИКА КІНЦЯ ХІХ – ПОЧАТКУ ХХ СТ. ПРО ВИКЛИКИ ПЕРЕД УКРАЇНСЬКИМ НАЦІОНАЛЬНИМ ВІДРОДЖЕННЯМ В 1860-І –1870-І РР
Authors: БАГАН Олег 
Published: January 2025

У статті зроблений аналіз трьох мемуарних матеріалів галицьких українських авторів: Анатоля Вахнянина, Остапа Терлецького та Андрія Чайковського. Їхні спогади присвячені періодові кінця 1860-х–1870-м рокам, коли в галицькому суспільстві почався активний процес становлення модерного українства. Це був час поступової переваги молодого народовського руху над великим табором москвофільства, який домінував від 1850 р. Названі автори осмислювали у своїх спогадах причини й наслідки поразки москвофілів і чинники успіху народовців-націоналістів.
Дається оцінка «Споминам з життя» (1908) А.Вахнянина як важливого джерела з історії Галичини другої половини ХІХ ст. Тлумачаться різноманітні аспекти, за допомогою яких цей автор показав головні напрямки посилення народовського табору в краї. Фактологічна основа документу розкриває важливі моменти цього процесу, пояснює його віхи.
Розвідка О.Терлецького «Москвофіли і народовці 70-х рр.» (1902), яка має явні мемуарні ознаки, є зразком дуже аналітичного дослідження. Автор пояснює головні історичні промахи галицьких москвофілів як наскрізь ретроградного, сервілістського, безідейного руху. Народовці зуміли стати конкурентами для москвофілільства через реальну програму націотворення та культуротворення. Водночас галицькі народовці несли в собі фатальні ментальні ознаки рутенства: політичну обережність та схильність до декоративної культурницької поведінки.
У невеликому спогаді А.Чайковського «З часів переполоху» (1904) зроблено спробу пояснити глибину моральної неготовності галицьких народовців 1970-х рр. до рішучих громадянських дій. Над цим середовищем ще й далі панував менталітет пристосуванства, проавстрійського лоялізму, культурно-інтелектуальної провінційності. Через це народовці не змогли залучити в свої лави молоді таланти, які з’явилися на галицькому горизонті: Івана Франка, Остапа Терлецького, Михайла Павлика та ін. Тому новий соціялістичний рух в Галичині, в який вони влилися, став гідним конкурентом нородовцям і лідером національного розвитку.
Загальні висновки дослідження тлумачать широку проблему ментально-суспільної трансформації Галичини в останній третині ХІХ ст., коли галицьке українське суспільство нарешті почало долати фатальні ментальні ознаки рутенства як варіянту глибоко провінційного філістерства, морально-ідейної хвороби бездержавності, малоросійства (психологічного комплексу національної неповноцінності). Москвофільство було лише новою еманацією рутенства, це був вкрай безідейний, безпринципний, морально калічний рух. Галицьке народовство зміцнило національні основи українства в Галичині, але воно продовжувало хворіти ментальними комплексами. Тож поява молодих соціялістів та лібералів, ідейним лідером яких був емігрант із підросійської України Михайло Драгоманов (1841–1895), означала громадянський, культурний, інтелектуальний бунт молоді проти затхлої атмосфери філістерства й рутенщини.

En este artículo se analiza los determinantes de la pobreza multidimensional y monetaria en los países de América Latina. Para ello, se utilizó datos panel para la estimación de modelos de efectos fijos y aleatorios. Los resultados para el modelo de pobreza monetaria indicaron que la desigualdad, la prevalencia de la desnutrición y el tamaño de la población tienen un efecto positivo y estadísticamente significativo sobre el nivel de pobreza monetaria. Además, se encontró que la inversión extranjera directa (IED) y el gasto público en salud tiene un impacto negativo y estadísticamente significativo sobre dicho nivel de pobreza monetaria, mientras que el efecto del acceso a saneamiento básico, electricidad y la pandemia de COVID-19 no son significativos. Con relación al modelo de pobreza multidimensional, se evidenció que la prevalencia de desnutrición y la pandemia de COVID-19 tuvieron un impacto positivo y estadísticamente significativo. Asimismo, se halló que el gasto público en salud, el acceso a saneamiento básico y la electricidad presentan un efecto negativo y estadísticamente significativo sobre la pobreza estudiada. Por último, se encuentra la no significancia en la desigualdad, la IED y el tamaño de la población.

Authors: Mualafina Rawinda Fitrotul , Ulfiyani Siti 
Published: January 2025

This research aims to describe a number of language phenomena that appear in posts on social media related to the pro-Palestinian movement. This research is a qualitative descriptive study. The data sources for this research are the social media platforms Instagram, X, and Telegram. The data in this research consists of linguistic elements in pro-Palestinian posts on the social media platforms Instagram, X, and Telegram. The data obtained are analysed using the matching method. The results of the data analysis are presented informally. Data was collected using listening and note-taking techniques with data sources in the form of social media, especially Instagram, X, and Telegram. The result obtained include that pro-Palestinian movements or action produce a number of language phenomena, including the emergence of registers, slang, and dysphemism in posts on social media. The results illustrate the emergence of a linguistic phenomenon arising from a social phenomenon currently occurring in society. As part of the social element, language once again demonstrates the distinctiveness of certain groups based on the linguistic codes that have developed. Furthermore, the emerging language phenomenon does not merely appear as a form of vocabulary or language codes. Indirectly, these language codes manifest as a form of support and even resistance echoed by the public against the injustice currently happening to the Palestinian people.
DOSAGE AND TIME OF APPLICATION EFFECT OF DOLOMITE (CaMg(CO3)2) ON YELLOW SAP CONTAMINATION OF MANGOSTEEN FRUIT (Garcinia mangostana L.)
Authors: Astuti Rohmani 
Published: January 2025

Yellow sap contamination is one of the constraints in producing export quality of mangosteen. The contamination can be reduced by strengthening cell walls with an application of Ca during the fruit growth stage. This study aimed to explore dosages and application times of dolomite (CaMg(CO3)2) and their effects on yellow sap contamination. The experimental design was a Randomized Block Design with two factors and the factors were arranged factorially with three replications. The first factor was dosage of dolomite (D) that consisted of 0 g/tree, 3000 g/tree, and 9000 g/tree, and the second factor was time of dolomite application that consisted of 2 weeks after anthesis (WAA) and 6 WAA. The results showed that the application of dolomite at 3000 g/tree and 9000 g/tree reduced the percentage of yellow sap contamination in fruit by 23,07% and 24,20%, repectively as compared to no dolomite application treatment. Meanwhile, time of application did not affect yellow sap contamination in fruit. It is suggested to apply 3000 g/tree of dolomite at the fruit growth stage to reduce yellow sap contamination in mangosteen fruit.
