Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Cho Joohee , Lee Boram , Kim Myunghee
Published: January 2024

Objectives The This study aims to identify students’ perception of multicultural-friendly educational environment, and to this end, it surveyed elementary and middle school students in districts densely and non-densely populated with multicultural families in Seoul, South Korea. And to this end, it surveyed elementary and middle school stu-dents in districts densely and non-densely populated with multicultural families in Seoul, South Korea.
Methods The Students from a total of eight schools - four elementary schools (two in densely populated districts and two in non-densely populated districts) and four middle schools (two in densely populated districts and two in non-densely populated districts) - participated in the survey. A total of 498 students, 157 sixth grade students and 341 middle school students in their third year, gave their responses. Analyses were performed using SPSS 25.0, primarily χ2 tests and two-way ANOVAs.
Results According to analysis, first, support from teachers for multicultural students was found to be adequate in elementary and middle schools, although teacher expectations and interest towards them were somewhat low in middle school. Second, it was confirmed that both elementary and middle school students are aware of the need for a formal curriculum that is built on diverse and balanced perspectives. Third, in terms of educational evaluations and procedures, appropriate support was found to be provided more in middle schools than elementary schools, and in those in densely populated districts over their non-dense counterparts. Lastly, efforts to foster a school culture that embraces cultural diversity were more prevalent in elementary schools than in middle schools, and in schools in densely populated districts than those in non-densely populated districts.
Conclusions Based on the survey on elementary and middle school students’ perception of multicultural-friendly school environment, in general, elementary school students in densely populated districts were more likely to per-ceive their schools as multicultural-friendly than thought by middle school students in non-densely populated districts. Such findings suggest the need for policy support to create multicultural-friendly school environments at all school levels, in both high- and low-density neighborhoods.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Kim Jung-Eun
Published: January 2024

Objectives The purpose of this study is to diagnose the digital literacy competency of pre-service early childhood teachers.
Methods For this purpose, a survey was conducted on 245 pre-service early childhood teachers in the Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam regions. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS 21.0(ver.) statistical program, and descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance(ANOVA), and Scheff's post hoc test were performed.
Results First, the digital literacy competency level of pre-service early childhood teachers was above average, in-dicating an excellent level. Based on a 5-point scale, the average scores for each variable were in the high 4-point range. Second, the analysis of digital literacy competency differences based on background variables of pre-serv-ice early childhood teachers revealed significant variations, excluding grade.
Conclusions To foster digital literacy competency, it suggests that education should not only focus on completing relevant courses or solely rely on instructional methods. Instead, it should take into consideration individual per-sonality traits, psychological factors, and other aspects.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Lee Seunghee
Published: January 2024

Objectives In this study, an attempt was made to identify the influencing factors of self-leadership and prepare basic data for the development of nursing education programs.
Methods An online survey was conducted using a structured questionnaire to measure variables related to self-leadership among 108 nursing students located in Chungcheongnam-do. Polychronicity tendency, honor code pledge, and GPA(grade point average) were selected as relevant variables in multiple regression analysis. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics t-test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple re-gression using IBM SPSS 26.0 program.
Results In this study, the honor code pledge and GPA(grade point average) were found to have a significant impact on the self-leadership of nursing students, and the explanatory power R² of the self-leadership of related variables was measured at 0.14 (adjusted R²=.12). There was a positive correlation between self-leadership and the honor code pledge, and a negative correlation between polychronicity tendency and GPA(grade point average). The sub-ject's self-leadership was 3.5 points (4 points), polychronicity tendency was 2.2 points (4 points), honor code pledge was 3.7 points (4 points), and GPA(grade point average) was 3.7 points (4.5 points).
Conclusions Because every nurse who deals with patients and carries out work must have self-leadership as a leader who can represent the organization, there is a need to develop self-leadership nursing education that can promote ethical and moral development and increase the level of professional knowledge for nursing students who are prospective nurses.

Published: January 2024

Objectives The purpose of this study was to examine the sequential mediating effect of fear of missing out(FoMO) and interpersonal problems on the relationship between college students' anxious attachment and SNS addiction tendencies.
Methods An online survey was conducted on 275 college students, and SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 26.0 programs were used to analyze the relationship and mediation between the variables and their sequential mediating effect.
Results First, the fear of missing out did not have a significant mediating effect on the relationship between anx-ious attachment and SNS addiction tendencies. Second, interpersonal problems had a significant mediating effect on the relationship between anxious attachment and SNS addiction tendencies. Third, the sequential mediating effect of fear of missing out and interpersonal problems on the relationship between anxious attachment and SNS addiction tendencies was significant.
Conclusions The fear of missing out as experienced by college students with anxious attachment leads to inter-personal problems, which tend to result in SNS addition. The significance and implications of the study were pre-sented, and the limitations and the direction of subsequent research were discussed based on the findings.
A study on The Level of Social Capital of College Students and its Accumulation Efforts: Focusing on The Case of C University
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Rhim Jinhyuk , Lee Namhee , Kwak Bijou
Published: January 2024

Objectives In this study, we measured the social capital level of C university students, recognized the lack of social capital for college students, and suggested directions for efforts to accumulate social capital.
Methods For this purpose, by conducting a survey (question 17 questions) to measure social capital level for stu-dents at C university in the province, we grasped the actual condition of social capital through the analysis accord-ing to grade, gender, and major. Interviews were conducted to analyze what C university students think is in-sufficient social capital and what they should strive to accumulate social capital, and based on this, directions for C university students to make efforts to form social capital were presented.
Results Through a survey and interview survey of 112 students from C university located in the province, based on the results and contents of analyzing social capital level, insufficient social capital, and the points to work on social capital accumulation, the direction for the social capital formation that C university students think was presented.
Conclusions In order to accumulate social capital of college students, it is necessary to raise students' awareness of social capital, to supplement social capital that they think is insufficient, and to raise the level of social capital by constant efforts to accumulate social capital. Since social capital accumulation is formed in social relations, ed-ucation for improving the social relations capacity that college students should have as members of society is needed.
The Influence of Centrality of Event on Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms and Posttraumatic Growth in (Under)Gradute Students: Moderated Mediation Effect of Core Belief Challenge and Self-Compassion
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Lee Youkyung , Park Kee-Hwan
Published: January 2024

Objectives This study aimed to comprehensively examine the mediating effect of core belief disruption and the moderating effect of self-compassion in the pathway through which event centrality affects posttraumatic stress symptoms and posttraumatic growth.
Methods To investigate the model of this study, self-report survey data from 372 (under)graduate students living in metropolitan area were analyzed. The self-report questionnaires used in this study were as follows: Trauma Events Checklist, Centrality of Event Scale-Korean(CES-K), Korean Version of Core Belief Inventory(K-CBI), The Korean Version of Impact of Event Scale-Revised(IES-R-K), Korean version of Self-Comapssion Sclae(K-SCS). Descriptive statistical analysis, correlation analysis, mediating effect analysis, moderating effect analysis, and moderated mediation effect analysis were performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 21.0 and PROCESS macro.
Results Core belief challenge indirectly mediated in the effect of centrality of event on posttraumatic stress symp-toms and directly on posttraumatic growth. As a result of the moderating effect test, the effect of core belief chal-lenge on posttraumatic growth was different according to the level of self-compassion. Also, core belief challenge mediated the relationship between centrality of event and posttraumatic growth, and self-compassion moderated it.
Conclusions These results suggest that self-compassion can work as a facilitator in the path of centrality of event to posttraumatic growth through core belief challenge. Finally, clinical implications and limitations of the study were discussed.
Comparative analysis of children’s literature in primary school English textbooks in Korea: Focusing on five types of English textbooks for all primary school students(3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th) learning English in school
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Kim Hyun-Sook , Park Doo-Hyun
Published: January 2024

Objectives The purpose of this paper is to compare and analyze all the children's literature books on primary English textbooks that are currently used in primary school English classes in Korea, and to discuss their current status, problems, and improvements.
Methods Five types of primary English textbooks for each of 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grades were collected. Children's literature included in each English textbook was compared and analyzed by dividing it into four criteria: type, subject matter, degree of original content modification, and teaching method by referring to previous re-search and related theories. The teaching method was subdivided into language function and learning time for comparative analysis.
Results As for the types of children's literature, ‘traditional literature’ was the mainstream in the 3rd & 4th grades while there were many ‘realistic literature books’ in the 5th & 6th grades. For the subject matter, the 3rd & 6th graders introduced ‘personal life’, the 4th graders introduced ‘public morality’, and the 5th graders introduced ‘cultural differences’ the most. In terms of the degree of adaptation of the original content of children's literature, 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders partially adapted the original children's literature work in the form of a script to review the learning goals and communication functions of the learned unit. Most of the 6th children's literature was newly created by the textbook writers so that students can review the lesson of the learned unit. The method of teaching children's literature focuses on speaking, listening, and some simple writing activities in the 3rd grade, and at-tempts were made to integrate speaking, listening, writing, and reading in the 4th, 5th, and 6th grades. Children's literature was organized so that most of the grades were simply taught as a single lesson.
Conclusions Since the types of children's literature are limited to a few types in primary English textbooks, it is necessary to introduce more diverse types of children's literature. In addition, children's original literature was adapted so much to review the communication functions of learned lesson, depriving of students’ interest on the literature, so more careful consideration is needed when modifying children's literature. It is also needed to in-crease the lesson time of teaching children’s literature and to provide children's literature guidance with more di-verse and interesting activities.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Jeong Ye won , Nam Young sook
Published: January 2024

Objectives This study aims to investigate the relationship between intrinsic play led by young children and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), and to explore the role of teachers in facilitating this interaction.
Methods The study was conducted using a literature review approach. From June to November 2023, a total of 21 papers on ESD in early childhood education, 4 UNESCO publications, 6 studies on ESD, and 17 papers and re-lated materials on play-centered education were collected and analyzed to explore the connection between play and ESD.
Results First, it was found that children's play, which inherently involves the transformation of ‘living’ into ‘learn-ing’, is closely related to sustainable living practices. In this context, play and ESD are intimately connected. Second, teachers are required to act as supporters and guides in this process.
Conclusions This study explores the significance of play not just as a simple activity, but as an inherent character-istic of early childhood in relation to sustainable development education. This highlights the importance of play as a key approach in the development of ESD competencies. Furthermore, it underscores the role of teachers in giv-ing educational meaning to ESD through play.

The research was developed in two stages. The first stage was theoretical in virtual place with government documents; the second stage was virtual too, with 8 collaborators who answered to a form in Google forms with questions about sociodemographic data and their own preferences about terapeutic workshops in your treatments. It was noticed that the resource under discussion is important for assistance in mental health to occur in accordance with the determined in government documents and this can be seen in the employees’s reports of their mood, social skills, experiences and expressive capacity were positively modified from engagement in terapeutic workshops.
Rotinas de pensamento na formação de professores: relatos de experiência
Authors: Mariz Débora
Published: January 2024

A excelência do pensar envolve vários aspectos do cotidiano, como ser curioso e questionador, tomar decisões após reflexão cuidadosa, perceber atentamente as próprias crenças e em que medida elas interferem nas escolhas e julgamentos, ser meticuloso e tenaz nas investigações, observar sob diferentes perspectivas um mesmo fenômeno e desenvolver a empatia, a escuta e o diálogo com os outros. Essa prática demanda a compreensão dos elementos que estruturam a argumentação e o seu exercício em diferentes contextos, incluindo o diálogo em sala de aula. Dentre eles estão os aspectos lógicos do discurso, como a possibilidade de fazer inferências, emitir razões convincentes, descobrir pressupostos e suposições, classificar, dar explicações, relacionar causa e efeito, definir, descrever, interpretar e estabelecer critérios. Considerando o filosofar como uma das faces da busca pelos fundamentos do conhecimento e da existência humana, investigamos metodologias de ensino que pudessem estimular a excelência do pensar no contexto escolar. E, nessa busca, encontramos na interface entre arte e educação uma proposta metodológica capaz de potencializar a aprendizagem e a livre expressão dos estudantes aliado às temáticas próprias aos componentes curriculares da educação básica. As experiências foram tão potentes que gostaríamos de comunicá-las a outras pessoas; daí nasceu a proposta desse livro! Através das “Rotinas de Pensamento”, uma metodologia desenvolvida por um centro de experimentação e inovação pedagógica de caráter interdisciplinar da Faculdade de Educação da Universidade de Harvard, o Projeto Zero, oferecemos em 2023 uma disciplina optativa integrando licenciandos de diversos cursos da UFMG: Música, Educação Física, Pedagogia, Física e Biologia. Propusemos, então, a criação e aplicação de, pelo menos, uma rotina com obras de arte em contextos escolares e/ou não escolares; a mesma proposta também foi feita aos estudantes do Programa Residência Pedagógica da CAPES/ UFMG. Os relatos que se seguem são frutos dessas práticas e representam tanto a unidade entre pesquisa e prática na formação docente, desde a graduação, quanto múltiplas possibilidades de apropriação de obras de arte em sala de aula.
Qaraqorum in Yuan
Authors: Rossabi Morris
Published: January 2024

The Mongols’ establishment of a capital in the thirteenth century indicated their desire not only to plunder but to rule the domains they had conquered. The placement of the capital in Qaraqorum, in their own native land, appears to have been optimal, and merchants and craftsmen flocked to the city to ply their wares. As Qaraqorum flourished and the population increased, a major flaw became apparent: its hinterland could not fulfill its needs, and in 1267, Qubilai Khan moved the capital to Dadu, which had nearby supplies. Yet Qaraqorum was not abandoned, as it signified the Mongols’ attachment to their own land. In the early fourteenth century, the Yuan dynasty court sought to protect and incorporate it as part of the provincial system. However, the city was unable to govern and tax mobile herders and thus to secure the essential revenue for its needs. It faced considerable difficulties, and the Yuan dynasty itself declined due to internecine struggle, natural disasters, and corruption among Mongol princes. Rebellions erupted, and the founders of the Ming dynasty forced the Yuan court to withdraw from China and to retreat to Qaraqorum. Conflicts between the Ming and the so-called Northern Yuan court finally resulted in the destruction of Qaraqorum in 1388. Yet it retained its appeal and aura for the Mongols and led them to establish their first Buddhist monastery around the site in the sixteenth century.
Glazed Ceramics from Qaraqorum: Archaeological Evidence on Routes to the Old-Mongolian Capital
Authors: Sklebitz Anne
Published: January 2024

The Old-Mongolian capital Qaraqorum is described in historical sources as a vivid, international, and multicultural city with constant exchange and contacts across cultures. This is particularly so in a description that the Franciscan friar William of Rubruck made while visiting Qaraqorum in the year 1254. Rubruck noted that Muslim traders, Chinese craftsmen, Buddhists, Nestorian Christians as well as several European captives all lived and worked in Qaraqorum. Despite this, the city is seldom included on maps depicting Eurasian and Inner Asian travel and trade networks of the 13th–14th century. Such networks have left archaeological traces at various city sites, through the presence of imported ceramics, food, and other goods. This article will focus on the glazed ceramics excavated in Qaraqorum. The author classified the material and determined the production sites of the different wares. A chorological study based on this data expands our knowledge of connections to Qaraqorum in the medieval Asian trade network. The results are presented in this article. As every aspect of archaeological research reflects parts of the overall picture only, this study is meant to enable further research on the subject. This article is dedicated to the symposium “800 years Qaraqorum” and thus included in a broader research framework on the fascinating Old Mongolian capital.
Travelogues of the early twentieth century and Qaraqorum
Authors: Honichud Geriletu
Published: January 2024

In the twentieth century, a large number of scientific research campaigns were organized in Asia, including China and Mongolia, by various countries, such as Britain, France, Germany, Russia, and Japan. Western tourists or scientists who travelled to Mongolia during the 20th century and wrote reports can be divided, in the framework of this paper, into two groups: Russian tourists and scientists on the one hand, and members of the Sino- Swedish expedition campaign on the other. Among these travellers and scholars of Mongolia were Nikolay Przhevalsky (1839-1888), Pyotr Kozlov (1863-1935) led by Sven Hedin (1865- 1952), and Haslund-Christensen (1896-1948). The travel notes left by these people cover almost the whole of Mongolia, and now these travel notes are included in Mongolian local research and used as material for the country’s history and politics, while details about farming, religion, rites, and rituals will play an important role in future research. This is especially true for the Sino-Swedish expedition as numerous travel diaries from the Sino-Swedish joint field trip to Northwest China have been published, detailing the lives of the inhabitants of Inner Mongolia as well as Xinjiang. One interesting difference among the travellers mentioned above is that some of them visited Qaraqorum while others did not. The paper will investigate the reasons for these different itineraries, as well as some of the information provided by these travellers about Mongolia.
From Childhood Trains to Minecarts: Imaginaries and Realities of Railway in Mongolia
Authors: Tsetsentsolmon Baatarnaran , Lang Maria-Katharina
Published: January 2024

This paper explores the historical and contemporary railroad constructions in Mongolia and socio-cultural transformation due to the infrastructural changes. In order to transport the minerals to markets in and above all outside Mongolia, especially China and Russia, states and private companies invest in rail and road transport (plans). When the first long distance railway was built as ‘a gift from Stalin’ between 1947 and 1949, herders who never had seen engine techniques, imagined the railway as a ‘metal snake’ (tomor) that drilled mountains and crossed rivers. Today many people have high hope of this infrastructural modernization and expect better economic development and quality of life as result of the railway expansion. Until now most of the planned new infrastructures such as “The Steppe Road” exist on paper and in the minds. In this research, we are investigating recently realized railway projects in Selenge province in northern Mongolia. The presentation of this infrastructure focuses on the social encounters of and the cultural impact on involved workers, herder families and the natural landscape (including spirit beings). Which economic, ecological and sociocultural changes go hand in hand with the development of the railway? The investigation, based on fieldwork in the years 2017–2019, includes studies on material and visual culture using primary and secondary sources.
The Animalification of Nationalist Sentiments: Horse, Herder and Homeland
Authors: Bum-Ochir Dulam
Published: January 2024

This paper is about what I call the animalification of nationalist sentiments, based on stories, poems and films about some runaway horses returned to their birthplace, which Mongolians commonly call the nutag (homeland). These stories, poems and films deliver a message that even “Mongol horses” have a sense to love, miss, find and return to their nutag, and critiques those involved in mining and other businesses with environmental destruction as being worse than horses. The analogy of man and horse in this paper helps us to understand, first, how Mongolians perceive and explain sources of nationalist sentiment as natural and inevitable and, second, how a sense of nutag shared by both man and animal shapes human-animal relations.
Finite Element for the Analysis of Massive Reinforced Concrete Structures with Cracking
Authors: Agapov Vladimir P. , Markovich Alexey S.
Published: January 2024

The solid finite element has been developed for the calculation of massive reinforced concrete structures with cracks. When constructing a finite element in the compression-compression-compression mode, the Willam Warnke failure criterion was used. The tensile behavior of concrete was assumed to be linear before the crack initiation. Modern building codes require non-linear calculations of concrete and reinforced concrete structures, taking into account the real properties of concrete and reinforcement. In this regard, a technique has been developed and a solid finite element has been built, adapted to the PRINS software, which makes it possible to perform calculations of massive reinforced concrete structures, taking into account their actual work. Development of a method for calculating reinforced concrete structures under conditions of a three-dimensional stress state, taking into account the brittle fracture of compressed concrete and cracking in tensile concrete. Based on this technique, the implementation of a solid finite element in the PRINS software. To verify the developed finite element, a series of test calculations of a beam under three-point bending conditions was carried out. Comparison of the calculation results with the data of experiments by the authors confirmed the high accuracy and reliability of the results obtained. The developed solid finite element included in the PRINS software can be effectively used by engineers of design and scientific organizations to solve a wide class of engineering problems related to the calculations of massive reinforced concrete structures.
The Modelling of a Multidimensional Linguocultural Concept on the Example of the Concept СТАРОСТЬ ‘SENILITY’
Authors: Safaralieva Lyubov A. , Perfilieva Natalia V.
Published: January 2024

The novelty of the study is due to the modelling of a linguocultural concept, while its structure properly represents a multilevel model determined by its essential, obligatory components, such as meaning, notion, value and imagery components, as well as by the set of their potential associates. The study synthesizes modern ideas and views already developed in the Russian linguistics concerning a concept as a mental formation. There are generalized theoretical and applied approaches to the definition of mental formations or concepts, in particular, both linguocultural and linguocognitive formation aspects of a concept are discussed in detail. The complexity of elaborating a simple, unambiguous definition and formulating value and imagery conceptual components represents the subject of the study. On the basis of the Russian language material, the model of the concept СТАРОСТЬ (‘SENILITY’) is put forward, the concept’s structure is particularly characterized, as well as the principles of selecting lexical, paremiologiсal and phraseological units which form the concept’s lexical frame. The elaborate algorithm to structure the concept consists of a number of stages: the defining of a semantically and stylistically neutral concept’s verbalization, the reconstructing of the notional component, the selecting of lexical units to express its value and imagery components. The issue of the differentiation and delimitation of value and imagery components is studied separately as both of them possess different and common reconstruction sources, e.g., phraseological and associative dictionaries. The model of the multidimensional linguocultural Russian concept СТАРОСТЬ ‘SENILITY’ as the pattern to construct similar models of other concepts, produces the main result of the given study. The reconstruction of multilevel models of concept is in prospect and would allow present the fragment of the worldview of the Russian linguoculture bearers.

This study aims to analyze the thought of Abdullah Nashih Ulwan as an educational figure of the 20th century and Jodi Gold as a pschiatrist of the 21st century about early parenting styles in the digital age as well as to analyse the comparisons of both, related to the way they view technology and the recommended response for parents in dealing with the inevitable technology. The method of research used is qualitative, if reviewed according to the location of the research then belongs to the library research, data collected from the primary sources such as the book Tarbiyatul Aulad Child Education in Islam by Abdullah Nashih Ulwan and Screen-Smart Parenting by Jodi Gold, as well as other credible references that related to research variables. Once the data is collected, it is analyzed using the content analysis method. Research results in the finding that there are some similarities between the two characters in viewing technology, but mostly different, Abdullah Nashih Ulwan tends to view technology negatively, instead Jodi Gold sees that most of technology is positive for early childhood. The conclusion is that unhindered technological developments should be fully controlled by parents for early childhood so that they can be a positive consumption and a medium of grinding between parents and early children who are in great need of friends, attention and affection to understand the world.
Los guetos de la memoria
Authors: Berón Ospina Alberto Antonio
Published: January 2024

Los guetos se han convertido en el término que define una manera de relacionarse con el espacio. De un lugar de segregación o encierro se ha pasado a una experiencia que se reproduce en cualquier calle o barrio. También el gueto conduce a su relación con la memoria, con las experiencias que afectan nuestra sensibilidad, convirtiendo la palabra en metáfora de existencia. Las inquietudes desplegadas en estos ensayos ahondan en los rasgos de un pensamiento que se reconozca en las particularidades o singularidades de su procedencia. El discurso occidental es llamado historia universal y tuvo su origen en un espacio geográfico concreto denominado el Mar Mediterráneo. Este pensamiento universal europeo se vivificó en la modernidad con las narrativas de sus éxitos, dejando como algunos animales los restos de su piel en los lugares donde se tuvo mayor influencia. Las ideas filosóficas, así como las mercancías tienen también sus particulares ciclos históricos. La concepción del progreso ha sido una de las más exitosas en los últimos doscientos años, sobre ella se han edificado las políticas de la modernidad. Pero el filósofo como trapero sabe que las mismas ideas tienen sus límites y que ellas traen sus costos epistemológicos y humanos. En cuanto a los costos epistemológicos podemos ver que la idea de progreso llevada a distintas esferas económicas, sociales y políticas tiene costos humanos, ideas y hombres desechados, marginados o extinguidos. Este trabajo reúne algunas de esas discusiones a partir de ensayos sobre la obra de Enzo Traverso, Karl Marx, Heidegger, Roberto Burgos Cantor, la memoria en Colombia o el concepto de decrecionismo. También es una invitación a caminar y detenerse en una filosofía que se relaciona con la vida social.
Fault Classification Diagnosis Method of Wind Turbine Gearbox Based on Vibration Spectrogram and Improved Generative Adversarial Networks
Authors: Wang jingang , fu yameng , Shen chen , Liu ya , Yi wei , Duan Xu , Xie yuanyuan
Published: January 2024

Unbalanced number of samples is a key problem that restricts the
practical application of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) in the
field of wind turbine gearbox fault diagnosis. To solve this problem,
here, a method based on two-dimensional spectrogram and improved
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) is proposed to enhance the
unbalanced data of wind turbine gearbox categories. First, the original
one-dimensional vibration signal is converted into a two-dimensional
spectrogram. Based on the two-dimensional Conditional GANs (2D-CGANs),
the labels are input into the generation network and the discriminant
network by means of projection, and a sample enhancement model is
established, thereby generating multi-working conditions, multi-type and
high-quality pseudo-fault samples. Second, the sample set is balanced by
the sample augmentation model to train a fault diagnosis model based on
CNNs. Finally, the method is verified from three aspects: the training
process of the sample enhancement model, the generation ability, and the
diagnosis ability of the fault diagnosis model. The results show that
the proposed method can generate diverse and high-quality 128×192
resolution pseudo-fault samples, effectively improving the fault
identification accuracy and network training speed, with strong
generalization, and have good engineering application feasibility.

Published: January 2024

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease that
can lead to joint deformity and severe disorders, as a basic
pathological change in articular rheumatism, joint tenderness and
progressive destruction, arthritis and panusis.At present, the specific
etiology of articular rheumatism is still unknown.The imbalance of
immune homeostasis is the root cause of rheumatoid arthritis.In
research, the hippocampal signaling pathway, which is widely expressed
in various cell lines, plays an important role in maintaining immune
homeostasis and may be involved in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid
arthritis.In this study, in order to provide new ideas for understanding
the pathogenesis mechanism of articular rheumatism, the research
progress of the hippo signal transduction pathway and its main members
involved in the crisis of RA is outlined from the three sides of the
regulation and maintenance of the autoimmune homeostasis, the promotion
of the pathogenicity of the synovial fibroblast and the regulation of
the osteoclast differentiation.

Published: January 2024

Background: Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are at a
significantly higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared to
HIV-negative people. Left heart dysfunction is the most common cardiac
complication in people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), and diastolic
dysfunction is an important predictor of cardiovascular events. The aims
of this study were 1) to detect changes in left cardiac structure and
function in antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naive PLWHA using
echocardiography; and 2) to investigate the risk factors for the
development of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) in
ART-naive PLWHA. Methods: We retrospectively included 105 ART-naïve
PLWHA and included 90 healthy subjects as controls to compare the
differences in left heart structure and function between the two groups.
Univariate and multifactorial logistic regression were employed to
explore the risk factors of the development of LVDD in ART-naive PLWHA.
Results: The left ventricular end-diastolic internal diameter (LVEDD),
left ventricular mass index (LVMI), and left atrial volume index (LAVI)
were significantly greater in PLWHA than in controls (p＜0.05). The E/A
ratio, lateral e’ velocity, and mitral deceleration time (DT) were
significantly lower in PLWHA than in controls (p < 0.05).
Average E/e’ ratio was significantly higher in PLWHA than in controls (p
< 0.05). Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left
ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS) were not significantly
different between PLWHA and controls (p＞0.05). Multifactorial logistic
regression analysis showed that age, body mass index (BMI), and CD4+
count < 200 cells/μL were independent influencing factors for
LVDD in ART-naive PLWHA (OR=1.781, 1.228, 3.683, p＜0.05). Conclusions:
Left ventricular systolic function did not differ between PLWHA and
controls, and left ventricular diastolic function was lower in PLWHA
than in controls. Age, BMI, and CD4+ count were independent factors
affecting LVDD in ART-naive PLWHA.

Moorlands dominated by Calluna vulgaris (hereafter Calluna) are globally
rare and under increasing threat of wildfires due to climate change. The
soil seed bank is important for community resilience, but research on
its contribution to regenerating vegetation after moorland fires has to
date focused on prescribed fire or on the short-term (≤ 2 year) impacts
of wildfire. To address the role of the seed bank in long-term
vegetation regeneration, we studied a chronosequence of six wildfire
sites within a Scottish moorland catchment, ranging from 2 to 64 years
since burning. We recorded vegetation composition and sampled the seed
bank. Calluna and Erica spp. comprised 66 % and 27 % of germinated
seeds, respectively, and the majority of vegetation species were not
represented in the seed bank. Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA)
revealed that time since fire was a strong predictor of vegetation
species composition, but it had no effect on seed bank composition,
suggesting that the same species dominate the seed bank regardless of
burning. Whilst total seed density was marginally reduced after wildfire
and slightly increased with time, the non-Calluna seed bank was more
notably affected. The proportion of non-Calluna species decreased with
time in both vegetation and seed bank as Calluna cover was
re-established and the seed bank of other species became gradually
depleted. Whilst relative non-Calluna cover in the vegetation was at a
maximum at the start of the chronosequence and then declined, the
proportion of non-Calluna in the seed bank followed a unimodal pattern
after fire and reached a peak after around 35 years. Our results
contribute to the knowledge of how moorland ecosystems regenerate after
severe disturbances, which are likely to become more common as the
climate changes.

The polymorphisms of IFNL3 associated with the outcomes of primary HBV
infection remains controversial, the susceptibility has not been
investigated across cohorts. So two cohorts, including 3874
participants, were enrolled to detect the association of IFNL3 genetic
variants (rs12979860, rs12980275, and rs809917) with outcomes of primary
HBV infection between groups of chronic HBV infection (CHB), Natural
clearance (NC), Health control (HC), and a false-positive report
probability (FPRP) test was applied to assess positive results, and
function prediction of significant polymorphism was evaluated.
Polymorphism of rs12979860 demonstrated a correlation to the outcomes of
primary infection. In comparison between NC and CHB, the rs12979860-C
significantly decreased the risk of CHB as compared to T allele in
Hubei, Hainan and combined two cohorts, and in HC vs. NC comparison, the
allele of rs12979860-C also refers immunity establishment against HBV in
comparison to T allele in Hubei, Hainan, and combined two cohorts. In
comparison between NC and CHB, the rs12979860-TT genotypes significantly
increased the risk of CHB in Hubei, Hainan and combined two cohort.
After adjusting the influence of age and sex, the results remain
significant. FPRP test confirms the significance of rs12979860,
moreover, rs12979860-C/T alteration brings the minimum free energy
change in the centroid secondary structure. The polymorphism of
rs12979860 in IFNL3 is associated with primary outcomes of HBV
infection, and rs12979860-CC is associated with immunity establishment
in primary HBV infection, serving as potential predictors against virus
infection.

— As there is a substantial increase in the automation industry,
Security is the major concern among the vehicles. Software and hardware
are combined to provide better drivability and comfort in vehicles.
Information such as safety and nonsafety are interchanged among the
vehicles through messages in an intelligent transport system. VANET an
intelligent transportation system plays a vital role in enhancing the
security and safety of passengers as well as drivers by equipping the
vehicle with RSU (Road Side Unit) and OBU (On-Board Unit). Production of
an extensive amount of data in VANET communication needs an intelligent
storage system. For this Fog Computing has a vital role in the storage
and computation of data. In this paper, we present a study on various
authentication attacks, authentication protocols and their mechanism.
Open issues, Future scope of VANET using Fog, Survey on authentication
protocols in VANET using fog computing are discussed. Taxonomy of
authentication attacks with their summary and insights are presented.

Tanacetum isfahanicum Sonboli and Naderifar sp. nov.
(Asteraceae-Anthemideae) is described from Isfahan Province, Iran. It is
morphologically belonging to T. sect. Xanthoglossa and distinguishing
from the closest relative, T. polycephalum, by shape of basal and
cauline leaves, shape of capitula, length and width of involucre and
color of achene ribs. The phylogenetic position of the new species is
reconstructed based on nrDNA ITS sequences variation and its close
relationship with T. polycephalum is corroborated.

The interaction between ligand N-[(E)-1-(3,
5-dichloro-2-hydroxy-phenyl)ethylideneamino]-2-oxo-chromene-3-carboxamide,
N-[(E)-1-(2-hydroxy-5-methyl-phenyl)ethylideneamino]-2-oxo-chromene-3-carboxamide
and Fe(III), Mn(II) metal ion. The Bjerrum-Calvin titration technique as
modified by Irving and Rossotti is used in this work. In this system,
the separation of the acid-ligand curve from the acid-ligand and metal
curve explains the formation of the complexes. The complex formation is
explained through the half-integral method and point-wise calculation
method.
The phylum Chloroflexi and clade SAR202 dominate the microbiome of two marine sponges living in an extreme environment

Published: January 2024

The adaptation of marine sponges to their environment is often
attributed to the specific composition of their bacterial communities.
In this study, we assessed the bacterial microbiome of two dominant
sponges, Rhabdastrella globostellata and Hyrtios erectus, living in the
Bouraké lagoon (New Caledonia), where abiotic conditions reach extreme
values of temperature, pH, and oxygen during low tide. Scuba divers
collected sponge specimens and sediment and seawater samples at 2-3m
depth. The bacterial communities were studied using 16S rRNA
metabarcoding, and variations between the two sponges were compared
using Principal Component Analyses (PCA) biplots. The phylum Chloroflexi
and clade SAR202 appeared dominant in both sponge species reaching an
average relative abundance of 41.2% and 53.2% in H. erectus and 53.2%
and 78.7% in R. globostellata, respectively, while they were absent in
sediments and seawater. Principal Component Analyses (PCA) explained
70.9% (phyla) and 86.6% (clade) showing that the bacterial community’s
structure in both sponges is driven by Chloroflexi. This study is the
first report of such a noteworthy relative abundance of Chloroflexi and
SAR202 has been described in the microbiome of marine sponges. As these
bacteria are known to play key roles in sponge nutrition and fitness,
their high abundance strongly suggests an adaptive response to the
extreme environmental conditions of the Bouraké lagoon.
