Does representation of women in parliament promote economic growth? Considering evidence from Europe and Central Asia
Authors: Mirziyoyeva Ziroat , Salahodjaev Raufhon 
Published: April 2023

IntroductionThe relationship between gender equality and economic growth has attracted considerable attention in scholarly research. While existing literature has evaluated the significance of gender inequality in education and employment, the impact of gender disparity in public service on economic growth remains an under examined area of scholarly inquiry. The main aim of this study is to assess the effect of female empowerment in public service on economic growth in Europe and Central Asia (ECA). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first analysis of the relationship between female political empowerment and economic growth at a regional level.MethodsWe rely on several econometric techniques to obtain robust empirical results and resolve various problems encountered when using panel data. We start with the random and fixed effects model to obtain the baseline results. The fixed effects model generates unbiased estimates by reducing the impact of time omitted variables. The core empirical technique used in this study is the twostep system GMM estimator.ResultsThe empirical results suggest that female participation in parliament has a positive and significant effect on economic progress. In particular, a 10%-point increase in women's representation in parliament leads to a 0.74%-point increase in GDP growth.DiscussionThus, it is essential to further promote female empowerment programmes in developing countries and continue to adopt new measures aimed at increasing the participation of women in public service. Future studies could explore the relationship between female empowerment and economic growth at subnational levels and test whether female empowerment moderates the relationship between financial development, innovation, trade and economic growth.

Authors: Hill Susannah , Bullock Jackie , Sanders David Lars 
Published: April 2023

Introduction: Abdominal wall hernia surgery aims to relieve symptoms and to improve quality of life (QoL). The aim of this novel patient led research, was to help surgeons understand how hernias impact on patients’ wellbeing.Methods: A questionnaire was developed by patient advocates. It was promoted through social media to gather anonymous feedback from patients.Results: 264 questionnaires were completed. The majority of the respondents were female (78.4%, n = 207), from English speaking countries (85.2%, n = 225), and had either parastomal hernias (36.0%, n = 95) or incisional hernias (28.0%, n = 74). Respondents described how their hernia affected sexual intimacy, either due to the dislike of their physical appearance, pain or the practicalities of their hernia getting in the way. They reported that their hernia restricted them from engaging in certain exercise activities, and a significant proportion also reported an impact on their diet.Conclusion: This study has identified that in addition to functional problems, living with a hernia can affect mental health as well as social and physical relationships. Existing hernia QoL tools are limited in the outcomes that they measure. Without a comprehensive hernia specific QoL tool, it remains difficult for a surgeon to accurately assess the impact that different treatment modalities may have on patients.
Defining the Military Interpreter’s Competence
Authors: Balabin V. 
Published: April 2023

The Euro-Atlantic aspirations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine cause doctrinal changes in the education of military professionals. It also leads to further enhancement of organizational, methodological and linguo- pedagogic approaches in forming the competence of military interpreters and translators, which constitutes one of the main tasks of the military translation theory. The military interpreter’s competence is one of the terminological units of its conceptual construct.
Depending on current legal documents, the author offers a definition for military interpreter’s competence, and identifies types and content of the military interpreter’s integral, generic and specific competences. The author views military interpreter’s competence as a synthesis of competencies of an officer – a military professional with the tactical level of combat service support qualifications, and a civilian interpreter – a professional in the field of philology, linguistics and translation.
Thus, the competence of a military translator is a dynamic combination of philological, linguistic, translational, cultural, general-military, military-humanitarian, and military-specific knowledge, skills, abilities, ways of thinking, views, values, and other personal qualities officially attested and certified at the level of complete higher education by a proper authority.
It represents the military interpreter’s ability and readiness to fulfil the tasks of the linguistic support for forces, as well as perform other duty functions under normal and extreme conditions of military service.

Abstract
MicroLink Devices manufactures triple-junction inverted metamorphic solar cells on GaAs wafers with a selectively etched release layer in an epitaxial lift-off (ELO) process to create ultra-thin foils of semiconductor with a metal backing. To improve radiation tolerance, each absorber layer is thinned and doping levels are reduced. The bottom subcell employs a mirror structure to maintain current, while the middle subcell requires a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) to increase the absorption path length and maintain current. MicroLink utilizes a non-conventional In

6G goal-oriented communications: How to coexist with legacy systems?

Published: April 2023

<p>6G will connect heterogeneous intelligent agents to make them natively operate complex cooperative tasks. When connecting intelligence, two main research questions arise to identify how artificial intelligence and machine learning models behave depending on: i) their input data quality, affected by errors induced by interference and additive noise during wireless communication; ii) their contextual effectiveness and resilience to interpret and exploit the meaning behind the data. Both questions are within the realm of semantic and goal-oriented communications. With this paper we investigate on how to effectively share communication spectrum resources between a legacy communication systems (i.e., data-oriented) and a new goal-oriented edge intelligence one. Specifically, we address the scenario of an enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) service, i.e., a user uploading a video stream to a radio access point, interfering with an edge inference system, in which a user uploads images to a Mobile Edge Host that runs a classification task. Our objective is to achieve, through cooperation, the eMBB service highest data rate, subject to a target goal-effectiveness of the edge inference service, namely the probability of confident inference on time. We first formalize a general definition of goal in the context of wireless communications. This includes the goal-effectiveness, (i.e., the goal achievability rate, or the probability of achieving the goal), as well as that of goal cost (i.e., the network resource consumption needed to achieve the goal with target effectiveness). We argue and show, through numerical evaluations, that communication reliability and goal-effectiveness are not straightforwardly linked. Then, after a performance evaluation aiming to clarify the difference between communication performance and goal-effectiveness, a long-term optimization problem is formulated and solved via Lyapunov stochastic network optimization tools, to guarantee the desired target performance. Finally, our numerical results assess the advantages of the proposed optimization, and the superiority of the goal-oriented strategy against baseline 5G compliant legacy approaches, under both stationary and non-stationary communication (and computation) environments. </p>

Published: April 2023

<p>The Global Flood Monitoring (GFM) system of the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS) addresses the challenges and impacts that are caused by flooding. The GFM system provides global, near-real time flood extent masks for each newly acquired Sentinel-1 Interferometric Wide Swath Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image, as well as flood information from the whole Sentinel-1 archive from 2015 on. The GFM flood extent is an ensemble product based on a combination of three independently developed flood mapping algorithms that individually derive the flood information from Sentinel-1 data. Each flood algorithm also provides classification uncertainty information that is aggregated into the GFM ensemble likelihood product as the mean of the individual classification likelihoods. As the flood detection algorithms derive uncertainty information with different methods, the value range of the three input likelihoods must be harmonized to a range from low [0] to high [100] flood likelihood. The ensemble likelihood is evaluated on two test sites in Myanmar and Somalia, showcasing the performance during an actual flood event and an area with challenging conditions for SAR-based flood detection. The Myanmar use case demonstrates the robustness if flood detections in the ensemble step disagree and how that information is communicated to the end-user. The Somalia use case demonstrates a setting where misclassifications are likely, how the ensemble process mitigates false detections and how the flood likelihoods can be interpreted to use such results with adequate caution. <br>

Authors: Sari Marlynda Happy Nurmalita , Anggraini Dina Dewi , Kusumawati Yuli 
Published: April 2023

Background: Restrictions on health services such as prenatal checks and the Pregnant Women Class program during the COVID-19 pandemic in several regions will have an impact on the quality of services for pregnant women. Purpose: Pregnancy online classes can potentially increase knowledge and reduce anxiety ahead of labor during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: Quasi-experimental and nonequivalent control group, pretest and posttest design approach Each group of 30 people (purposive sampling technique). Pre-test and PROCLASS provide material every week through videos uploaded to the WhatsApp group. The instrument uses a questionnaire (Google Form). Independent t-test and Mann-Whitney test to compare the PROCLASS and control groups. Dependent t-test and Wilcoxon test to compare the pre-and post-test in the PROCLASS group.
Results: There were differences in the pre-post test on the variables of knowledge and anxiety in the PROCLASS group, respectively (p-value 0.000). There was a difference in knowledge between the PROCLASS and control groups (p-value 0.002), with an average knowledge of 88.83 in the PROCLASS group and 85.73 in the control group. There were also differences in anxiety levels between the PROCLASS and control groups (p-value 0.000), with an average anxiety level of 28.17 in the PROCLASS group and 45.70 in the control group.
Conclusion: PROCLASS has proven effective in increasing knowledge and reducing the anxiety level of pregnant women before giving birth during the COVID-19 pandemic so that health workers can carry out the process (Puskesmas).
HUMAN CAPITAL AS THE SOURCE OF ECONOMIC GROWTH
Authors: Tran Nhat Thien 
Published: April 2023

This paper revisits the theoretical framework of endogenous economic growth by considering models where human capital accumulation is at the center of the growth process. Our work is in line with Lucas (2015), who calls for not giving “too large a role to exogenous technological change” (p. 86) while advocating that “the contribution of human capital accumulation to economic growth deserves a production function of its own” (p. 87). The main finding of our research provides the long-term behavior of economies, where our main results locate and extend these discussions to infinite-horizon models in several ways.
Correction Notice
Correction to Tran, N. T. and Thai, H. H. (2023). Human capital as the source of economic growth. Dalat University Journal of Science, 13(4S), 30–41.
As initially published, this article contained an error in the author list. In the corrected version of the article, Thai Ha Huy [University of Évry (University of Paris-Saclay), Évry, France] has been removed from the author list as the authorship of the article belongs solely to Tran Nhat Thien [The Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, Dalat University, Lam Dong, Vietnam].
The author list of this article has been corrected at the request of the Editor-in-Chief because the author list was originally incorrect. In November 2023, the Dalat University Journal of Science (DLU-JOS) became aware that the author/contributor list presented in the article was incorrect. The error was reported to the DLU-JOS by the two authors themselves. One of the authors was not aware that his name had been included in the author list of the article, and both authors agreed to request that the article be retracted. In accordance with the international guidelines established by the Committee on Publication Ethics, of which the DLU-JOS is a member, we have determined that these are not grounds for retraction. We have determined that the authorship of the article was disputed but that no reason exists to doubt the validity or reliability of the findings. Therefore, a correction to the author list should sufficiently address the concerns raised by the two authors.
To ensure transparency and the accuracy of the scholarly record, we have decided to issue a formal correction to the author/contributor list of the article with the belief that the two authors have provided appropriate proof that such a correction is justified.
The authors have agreed to this formal correction notice.

Formation of the Transition Region for the Quiet Sun
Authors: Song Paul , Tu Jiannan , Wexler David B. 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
We propose a partially ionized collisional two-fluid model of the formation of the transition region between the cool dense chromosphere and hot tenuous corona for the quiet Sun. The chromosphere is treated as an isothermal gravity-bound two-fluid stratified atmosphere without appreciable vertical flow, on average. The different scale heights of the two fluids result in vertical evolution of the ionization state, and the transition region can be defined according to the ionization fraction. The transition region starts at the altitude where the ionization fraction reaches 0.5, the demarcation between the weakly and strongly ionized gas. The upper border of the region is defined as the temperature at which the particles possess enough energy for ionization, i.e., the first ionization potential. Within the transition region is a diffusion process in which the cold chromospheric particles gain energy and ionize through random collisions with hot coronal particles diffusing upward into the corona, whereas, when colliding with cold chromospheric particles, hot coronal particles lose energy, recombine, and fall into the chromosphere. The type II spicules can be generated when and where the local heating rate is so high that the conditions for a stratified chromosphere are not satisfied; upward flow is formed, penetrating the corona where the chromospheric gas in the spicule is ionized and dispersed. The enhanced radiation via those chromospheric neutral particles cools the coronal gas, and more recombination occurs, producing enhanced downward diffusion. The model reproduces key structural features of the transition region from first principles and a minimum of arbitrary parameters.
Assessing the effects of climate change on arthropod abundance in Azorean pastures: PASTURCLIM project's baseline monitoring data
Authors: Wallon Sophie , Melo Catarina , Tsafack Noelline , Elias Rui , Borges Paulo 
Published: April 2023

The data we present are part of the project PASTURCLIM (Impact of climate change on pasture’s productivity and nutritional composition in the Azores). The project aims to assess the consequences of climate change (e.g. temperature increase) on the grass production and its quality for forage, as well as to assess changes in the arthropod communities associated with the Azorean intensive pastures. An in situ experiment was set up using Open Top Chambers (OTCs), in order to simulate an increasing of temperature (average of +1.2ºC) on pastures. In this contribution, we present the data relative to the arthropod sampling.
We provide an inventory of all arthropods recorded inside OTCs and in control plots in three intensively managed pastures dominated by grasses in Terceira Island (Azores): two of them dominated by ryegrass, Lolium multiflorum Lam. (Poaceae), located respectively at 186 m and 301 m above sea level; and one field dominated by common velvetgrass, Holcus lanatus L. (Poaceae), located at an altitude of 385 m.
A total of 41351 specimens were collected. Organisms collected belong to four classes, 15 orders, 60 families and 171 species/morphospecies (including 34 taxa identified only at order, family or genus level). Therefore, for only 137 taxa, we have a scientific name associated (n = 38918). A total of 75% of the species (n = 129 species) are considered introduced (including all the species with indeterminate colonisation status that are possibly also exotic species (n = 7622)), representing 71% of the total abundance (n = 29664 specimens). A total of 19% of the species (n = 33 species) are considered native non-endemic representing 28% of the total abundance (n = 11608 specimens). Only one endemic species was sampled, the wolf spider Pardosa acorensis Simon, 1883 (1% of the species), representing 0.2% of the total abundance (n = 79 specimens). Spiders (5056 specimens) and beetles (18310 specimens) were the dominant taxa representing, respectively, 20 and 78 morphospecies.
Since the main aim of this study was to have a better knowledge on arthropod communities present in Azorean pastures under a simulated temperature increase, the principal novelty of this paper is the contribution with distribution and abundance data to a baseline knowledge on the future consequences of climate changes on arthropod communities in Azorean pastures.
Cultures et normes adolescentes : quelles fonctions éducative et adaptative pour le harcèlement entre pairs à l’école ?
Authors: Stahel Tina , Moody Zoe 
Published: April 2023

Le harcèlement à l’école émerge d’un système des pairs, composé de plusieurs élèves en interaction qui se lient pour agresser de manière répétitive des camarades. Cette contribution approfondit l’étude de la fonction du harcèlement au regard des cultures et des normes adolescentes ; elle vise à comprendre les besoins exprimés au travers de comportements inappropriés et antisociaux. Quarante-cinq adolescents (féminin= 22 ; masculin= 23 ; autre= 0) âgés entre 10 et 17 ans (M= 14) et vivant en Suisse ont participé à des focus groups et à des entretiens individuels sur leurs expériences du harcèlement. Les résultats montrent que les violences traduisent les normes prévalant dans les groupes de jeunes, indiquant les comportements plus ou moins attendus de la part des pairs et répondant à des enjeux identitaires.
