Study on rock damage mechanics in the sustainable development of the red sandstone area in China: Taking Zhongjiang County as an example

There are many hilly areas dominated by red sandstone in western China. At the same time, China is also rapidly advancing the modernization of sustainable development in the abovementioned areas. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety and sustainable advancement of modernization, it has become an urgent task for the local government to explore the mechanical properties of red sandstone in relevant areas. Zhongjiang County, Sichuan Province, China, is mainly dominated by red sandstone, and the study of red sandstone in this area is very rare. Therefore, this paper takes the red sandstone in Zhongjiang County as the research object and studies the damage evolution characteristics of red sandstone under the uniaxial compression load using the acoustic emission monitoring technology. The results show that when the axial stress of red sandstone shows a V-shaped evolution phenomenon and the acoustic emission ringing count enters a relatively quiet period, it indicates that the red sandstone will undergo instability failure. By exploring the evolution law of Ф (AF (ringing count/duration)/RA (rise time/amplitude)), the evolution characteristics of fracture types of red sandstone in the process of damage were found. Based on Weibull function and continuum damage mechanics, the damage evolution model and stress–strain constitutive model are derived. Based on the evolution law of damage variables, the damage evolution characteristics of red sandstone are quantitatively characterized. The research findings provide the government of Zhongjiang County with a reference basis for formulating sustainable construction plans.

A Dynamic Framework for Community-Facility Siting with Inter-Community Competition

Locating community facilities is a long-term, daunting task for governments, requiring ongoing budget or policy updates for gradual improvement. This study proposes a bi-objective multi-scenario dynamic model (BOMSDM) for community-facility siting, which aims to maximize service efficiency and social equity while considering variable facility numbers and inter-community competition. This study also provides a framework to demonstrate how the newly proposed model operates. This framework includes the BOMSDM itself, the data collection and processing method, and the constrained NSGA-II as the computational algorithm. Under this framework, the BOMSDM, along with three comparative frameworks derived from traditional models—including a random allocation non-incremental model, a random allocation incremental model, and an average allocation non-incremental model—was applied to a real-world scenario in Shaoxing. The results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of BOMSDM: it significantly outperforms the realistic solution in terms of service efficiency, fairness, and community allocation rate. Compared to alternative frameworks, BOMSDM sacrifices some objective values in scenarios without facility redundancy to ensure higher community coverage while exhibiting rapid improvement in objective values when redundancy is present, highlighting the framework’s flexibility. This framework provides government decision-makers with an effective tool for community-facility site selection.

DESERTION AND THE FIGHT AGAINST IT IN THE TERRITORY OF THE MARI TERRITORY IN 1919–1920 (based on the materials of the State Archive of the Republic of Mari El)

Desertion, as an element of the Russian army’s disintegration at the beginning of the 20th century, was finally formed during the First World War. Lack of motivation, depressed morale and abandoned battlefield positions became the main reasons for Russia’s military and political failures at the final stage of the war. That is why, in the conditions of the Civil War outbreak in Russia, an important task for the new Soviet government was to strengthen discipline and revive the combat capability of the army. The fight against desertion was the key to preserve and establish the Soviet power on the ground, including in the Mari Territory. The purpose of the study is to study desertion as a phenomenon of the Civil War period in Russia in 1919–1920 in the Mari Territory, as well as to identify the main forms and methods of combating it. Materials and methods. The research used general scientific and special historical methods and approaches. When working with archival materials on the topic of desertion in the Mari Territory, a collection of documents that had not previously appeared in scientific circulation was formed. Research results. The authority responsible for the search and capture of deserters was the Central Commission for Combating Desertion. The Mari Territory in this matter fell under the jurisdiction of governorate commissions for combating desertion, located in the cities of Kazan and Vyatka. To carry out local tasks in each uyezd of the Mari Territory its own commission for combating desertion was formed under the uyezd military commissariat. They actively cooperated and carried out joint work with both the military commissariat and the uyezd commission for combating counterrevolution. Village councils were also supposed to provide active assistance.The Soviet government toughened penalties for desertion, but also used soft methods to combat this phenomenon. The study conclusions. During the Russian Civil War, six forms of combating desertion operated in the Mari Territory, all of them functioned together and formed a single integrated system to eradicate and prevent this kind of crime.

Cosmogony and Cosmology in Korean Confucian Historiography. Based on the Samguk Sagi by Kim Busik

This research aims to test the assumption, long-established in Oriental studies, that Confucian philosophy and, therefore, historiography, focused primarily on the specific and rational tasks of social management and government, which tend to ignore the issues of cosmogony, instead replacing it with cosmology. However, in recent times, claims about the paramount rationality of Confucian chronicles have been questioned. These doubts are of relevance in relation to the Korean official Confucian chronicle the Samguk sagi (Historical Records of the Three Kingdoms). Juxtaposing its text with other Korean sources, this article identifies three layers in which cosmogonic motifs and elements of cosmogonic myths can be found. These elements are observed in the stories about the founders of states as cultural heroes, in the approach of the historiographer Kim Busik to the presentation of the history of dynastic cycles (the emergence–bloom–decline–fall of the state), and in the biographies of various historical characters, which are included in a special biographical section of the chronicle. The composition of these biographies partially reproduces the cosmogonic model of the cycle of the hero’s transformations developed by Joseph Campbell. In the annalistic narrative, cosmogonic motifs are closely intertwined with cosmological motifs, forming a kind of a binary yin-yang monad. Kim Busik's Confucian historiographical rationalization does not reject myth entirely, integrating into the historical-political moralizing narrative those elements that correspond to the canon of historiography and their significance for the history of the country and the people. The very process of such integration requires serious efforts from the historiographer, since myths sometimes resist such reappropriation. As a result, many mythological stories are discarded, leaving in the historical narrative either the strongest, most significant elements, that in a sense overpower the canon, or those that resonate with the mythological basis of the canon itself.

Роль подразделений информационных центров системы МВД России в предупреждении преступлений

The article considers the development of information units of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs system from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day. It describes the value of knowledge obtained and accumulated by the information units of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs system from a criminological point of view. At the same time, the authors note the absence of a purpose for using the obtained data (information on the identity of the criminal; identity of the victim; traces of the crime; stolen property, etc.) and crime prevention in the said units. It is noted that the lack of a unified approach to developing crime prevention measures both in the country and in its individual entities does not allow for the effective use of the acquired knowledge. The article indicates that today in the Russian Federation there are various databases containing information on the identities of criminals, identities of victims, traces of crimes, stolen property, real estate, transport, mobile phone numbers, etc., which allow identifying the causes and conditions for committing crimes, however, their use is ineffective due to the lack of specific units engaged in developing crime prevention measures in the Russian Federation and its individual entities. The authors of the article say that it is necessary to pay attention to the specifics of crime in a particular region, area, or locality, on the basis of which a unified crime prevention program in a given area should be developed. When developing a unified crime prevention program in a region, special attention should be paid not only to the actions of special entities aimed at combating crime, but also to the role and tasks of state bodies, local governments, public associations and citizens in implementing these measures. Thus, the crime prevention program will be a “road map” developed by the information units of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs with the participation of local governments, taking into account the opinion of residents of a given municipality or subject of the Russian Federation, on the territory of which the implementation of this crime prevention program will be provided, which will certainly contribute to increasing the effectiveness of crime prevention and will allow citizens of the Russian Federation to exercise their right, enshrined in Part 1 of Article 32 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, to their direct participation in managing state affairs - protecting society from criminal encroachments.

The Status of Pro-poor Sectors’ Service Delivery in Selected Woredas of Amhara Regional State

Abstract Providing services to the poor is a challenging task of local governments in developing countries. Governments are criticized for being asymmetric and urban-biased. This study assessed the situation of service delivery in the five pro-poor sectors, i.e., education, health, water, agriculture, and road and Transport. The study employed qualitative and quantitative research methods. A descriptive and cross-sectional research design was employed. Accordingly, data were collected from 269 sample respondents, key informant interviews, focus group discussions, in-depth interviews, and observations.

Does the concept of value for money increase budget performance?

The aim of this study is to assess the factors affecting budget performance through the concept of value for money. This quantitative study uses a rating scale and a survey. The samples included 426 government officials from 43 regional organizations in Makassar City, South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. The final sample size was 153 respondents. According to the results, participatory budgeting (β = 0.190; p-value = 0.017 < 0.05), budget goal clarity (β = 0.428; p-value = 0.000 < 0.05), and commitment (β = 0.339; p-value = 0.000 < 0.05) have a direct impact on budget performance. As a moderating variable, organizational culture affected participatory budgeting (β = 0.047; p-value = 0.004 < 0.05), budget goal clarity (β = 0.091; p-value = 0.000 < 0.05), and commitment (β = 0.066; p-value = 0.000 < 0.05). Moreover, motivation, as a moderating variable, affected participatory budgeting (β = 0.041; p-value = 0.019 < 0.05), budget goal clarity (β = 0.078; p-value = 0.000 < 0.05), and commitment (β = 0.070; p-value = 0.000 < 0.05). This study offers significant implications for local government officials in selecting the most effective variables to improve budget performance. For policymakers, the findings suggest supporting skill optimization to carry out government tasks. Finally, it is necessary to reconsider the approach to training the local government staff.

Kualitas Pelayanan Administrasi di Desa Noelbaki Kecamatan Kupang Tengah Kabupaten Kupang

One of the most crucial tasks of government is to ensure quality public services for citizens. Therefore, government agencies are often referred to as “public servants” or “public service”. In the provision of services to the community, there are still many service implementing employees who do not understand how important quality services to citizens are and have not been fully implemented properly. The purpose of this study was to understand how the quality of service administration in Noelbaki Village, Central Kupang Sub-district, Kupang Regency. This study used qualitative research methods, which are descriptive in nature.

Therefore, employees should further improve the quality of services and improve their service skills and discipline.

Move out of the land: certification and migration in China

Abstract Motivated by the emphasis on securing property rights as an important tool for the efficient allocation of resources, including land and labour, we use three rounds of China Rural Household Panel Survey data to assess the impact of a land certification programme (LCP) on the labour and land allocation in rural China. We find that the LCP results in increased rural–urban migration, more active land rental markets, as well as higher household income and consumption in rural China. These effects vary with age and are larger for younger individuals and households with heads aged 50 years or younger. Improving property rights could be a central task for the Chinese government to tackle issues related to labour and land misallocation.

Do Chinese Residents’ Perceptions of Air Pollution Affect Their Pro-Environmental Behaviors: The Moderating Role of Environmental Knowledge

Air pollution has become an important environmental and public health problem in China; improving air quality has become one of the most important tasks of the Chinese central government in recent years. In all aspects of environmental governance, the public’s pro-environmental behavior is crucial to comprehensively improve air quality. This study used data provided by the 2021 China General Social Survey (CGSS) to explore the relationship between air pollution perception, environmental knowledge, and pro-environmental behavior. The results of the study indicated that: (1) Residents’ subjective perception of air pollution has a significant positive impact on residents’ pro-environmental behaviors. The more serious the air pollution in the surrounding area is, the more likely residents are to adopt more pro-environmental behaviors; (2) Environmental knowledge also has a positive impact on residents’ pro-environmental behaviors and individuals with higher environmental knowledge are more likely to adopt more pro-environment behaviors; and (3) Environmental knowledge plays a positive regulating role in the relationship between air pollution perception and pro-environmental behavior. Individuals with higher environmental knowledge are more willing to engage in more pro-environmental behaviors when they perceive air pollution. To promote the residents’ pro-environmental behaviors, we should further strengthen the education of environmental knowledge and strengthen the disclosure of environmental information. This study provides valuable insights for China to formulate environmental governance policies, enrich the research on pro-environmental behavior to a certain extent, and provide lessons for other developing countries and high-polluting countries to find environmental governance methods.

Methodology of Using Large Language Models to Solve Tasks of State and Municipal Government for Intelligent Abstracting and Automatic Generation of Text Content

Large language models (LLM) are finding new areas of application in practice, including the sphere of public and municipal administration. To increase the efficiency of the practical application of large language models rules and methods of interaction with them are developed, taking into account the specifics, a wide range of their possible use and increasing accessibility. The article examines the issues of improving the efficiency of large language models with various types of content using prompt engineering techniques. An analysis of a significant number of prompts for large language models and methods for their formation is presented. The article discusses the possibilities of using large language models, trained (customizable) using creative prompting for intelligent abstracting of various content with the subsequent generation of original texts and text documents for the sphere of state and municipal administration. The proposed methodology makes it possible to effectively integrate knowledge from various sources into LLM training and turn it into a truly intelligent tool that expands the possibilities of its work. When applying this approach, the LLM acts as a powerful intelligent assistant that allows you to generate a document authored by the user of the system. The use of large language models opens up wide opportunities for employees in the field of state and municipal administration to automate the process of creating thematic texts, text reports, qualification papers, reviews and analytical notes. It also allows users to see possible new meanings, previously unnoticed associations, and even generate new ideas in the field of management in the process of analyzing the texts received during the abstract. The authors have shown that in order to improve the quality of intellectual abstracting, it is necessary to carry out the iterative use of different methods of teaching (tuning) LLM. At the same time, the initial selection of texts for training, which is made by the user based on his/her own knowledge of the subject area, is important.

Interpreting multilateral diplomacy in the Indonesian Parliament’s debates on climate crisis and sustainability

ABSTRACT Generally ‘diplomacy’ belongs to the tasks of the executive government, especially to the foreign affairs services. Nowadays, diplomacy includes everyone, including parliaments in a multilateral setting, especially when discussing global issues, such as climate change. This article discusses the parliamentary diplomacy practices of the Indonesian Parliament which are claimed to support multilateralism and foreign cooperation in international gatherings. The data is studied from the international events that this committee organized and Indonesian parliamentary meetings abroad in 2017–22, seen from the ideal parliamentary aspects of deliberation, representation, responsibility, and sovereignty. The data reveals that while the climate crisis is agreed to be more critical and awareness has been built among the members of parliament in this committee, the whole parliamentary members or the Indonesian Parliament as the institution does not fully acknowledge it yet. Legislation has not yet been enacted to tackle the climate crisis. Consequently, despite such sporadic efforts, the actions remain small, and inter-parliamentary diplomacy does not result in anything concrete. Multilateral diplomacy from parliament is still limited in this case.

A comparative review of financial corruption prevention strategies in the republic of Iraq

Corruption is a systemic issue that impacts every aspect of human activity with financial violations and corruption. It stands among the most crucial of issues which due to its historical roots, has expanded in our societies. Administrative and financial corruption is an unlawful action carried out by a group of employees. It manifests wherever it can and takes various forms such as bribery, fraud, cheating, complicity in government tasks entrusted to government employees, and abuse of influence in departments. This problem occurs in both developing and developed countries. When countries deviate from religious and moral values, lack effective anti-corruption laws, and also grapple with weak governments and regimes unable to enforce anti-corruption mechanisms or when they face severe economic crises such as wars or imposed economic pressure, corruption flourishes. This undermines political legitimacy, exacerbates poverty, and leads to economic and political instability. By misusing and illegally benefiting from authority, influence, and public resources for personal enrichment, administrative and financial corruption leads to illegal actions by officials and violates fundamental human rights. Therefore, financial corruption impacts the economic and social structures of both developing and developed countries in the same manner. This article aims to address this question: What are the methods that can be employed to prevent corruption, and its examples in the legal frameworks of Iraq? The current research employed a descriptive-analytical approach. The information was gathered through specialized books and articles in this field, laws, regulations, ongoing plans and bills, and international documents.
