Pedagogical practices in a bilingual education context
Authors: Monteiro Sara Andreia Ali
Published: December 2024

Aim: To report, from a pedagogical point of view, on the experience of a science teacher with an 8th grade class marked by great linguistic and cultural diversity, by sharing pedagogical practices and reflecting on the challenges faced. It also addresses the influence of a pedagogical approach that values the students' mother tongues, considering their influence on development and learning. Experience report: The experience took place in a private school in the Setúbal district of Portugal. The class in this case had several students who were not fluent in the school languages (English and Portuguese), and teaching-learning strategies were adopted which sought not only to promote the learning of concepts associated with scientific knowledge around science, but also the acquisition of vocabulary from the school languages, using the students' mother tongues to this end. Final considerations: The students felt that their linguistic and cultural identities were valued, which contributed to greater motivation and involvement in teaching activities; this valuation was also reflected in the development of the students' scientific and linguistic competences, as well as in their academic performance and confidence to participate in the activities proposed in the classroom context.

Published: December 2024

The objective of the study was to investigate the visible and microscopic features of Passiflora tarminiana fruit. The plant specimen was collected in May 2023 from Ooty, The Nilgiris District, Tamil Nadu. The evaluation was carried out using macroscopy, microscopy and histochemical tests. The fruit's characteristic components were identified by dissecting it and their structures were visually documented through photographs. Macroscopy revealed the fruit's sensory properties while microscopy showed the presence of oil globules, stone cells, simple pitted, reticulated and spiral vessels and cluster crystals from the seeds.

In histochemical tests, cutin, alkaloid, lignin, mucilage, oil globules and tannins were observed in different regions of the pericarp. Cutin, aleurone grains and oil droplets were observed in various regions of the seed. The analysis of macroscopic, microscopic and histochemical features was found to be the first step in determining the quality, identity and purity of plant material that will be used in formulating a natural medicine. Additionally, the findings will be useful in distinguishing different species of Passiflora.

Authors: Gupta Aanchal , Sharma Chandra Kant , Sharma Monika
Published: December 2024

Cordyceps militaris commonly known as ‘Kida jadi’ in India is a rare entomopathogenic fungus that is typically found at high elevations on the Himalayan plateau. It is widely recognised as a therapeutic mushroom in traditional Chinese medicine. Cordyceps possesses wild range of bioactive constituents, with cordycepin being particularly noteworthy for its significant medicinal and nutraceutical properties. Fruiting bodies in industrial production are grown on synthetic substrates, however, their productivity and values are typically influenced by the quality of the fungal strains. This study examined the impact of the growth rate of fungal strains and repeated subculturing effect was measured.

Prepared brown rice substrates were infested with C. militaris inoculum and subsequently cultivated using optimised culture patterns. Throughout the cultivation process, the harvested samples, which are the fruiting bodies, were subjected to drying, resulting in a substantial yield. The findings indicated that the use of brown rice substrate promotes the growth of Cordyceps militaris fruiting bodies, resulting in a remarkable yield increase of 313%.

Authors: Mundrikeri Deepak , Sanjana G. , Sebastian Priyanka Mary , Bhaskara Rao K.V.
Published: December 2024

Biosurfactants, are amphiphilic substances generated on the cell membrane that have a tendency to lower surface tension, to lower the toxicity and to increase the biodegradability. This study focused on isolation, screening and identification of biosurfactant producing bacteria, their extraction and potential applications in enhancing plant growth and their antimicrobial activity. The bacteria were isolated from the soil polluted with old motor oil. The ability to produce biosurfactants was examined using series of tests including the emulsification index test, drop collapse assay, blood hemolysis, oil spread assay and microplate assay. The effective isolate was identified as Pseudomonas citronellolis by 16s rRNA sequencing. Further the extraction and characterization of rhamnolipid were carried out.

The characterization report from FTIR matches with the functional groups of rhamnolipid. Thus, the extracted rhamnolipid were explored for exhibiting their interest towards various biotechnological approaches. The antimicrobial activity of the extract was assessed against the selected pathogens and their applications in the plant growth showing enhanced growth compared to the control. This study can be further used to formulate rhamnolipid in large scale as plant growth promoter and oil cleanser in the future.

Совершение преступления впервые как условие освобождения от уголовной ответственности
Authors: Овсянников И.В.
Published: December 2024

В статье анализируется понятие «лицо, впервые совершившее преступление», которое используется законодателем в уголовном законе в целях ограничения возможности освобождения лица от уголовной ответственности по большинству предусмотренных оснований освобождения. Обосновывается предложение отказаться от использования анализируемого понятия в указанных целях. С учетом зарубежного опыта законотворчества необходимые условия освобождения от уголовной ответственности или материально-правовые ограничения возможности освобождения предлагается формулировать иначе.

The article analyzes the concept of "a person who has committed a crime for the first time", which is used by the legislator in the criminal law in order to limit the possibility of releasing a person from criminal liability for most of the stipulated grounds for release. The proposal to abandon the use of the analyzed concept for these purposes is substantiated. Taking into account the foreign experience of lawmaking, the necessary conditions for exemption from criminal liability or substantive legal restrictions on the possibility of release are proposed to be formulated differently.
Aктуальные проблемы нормативно-правового регулирования защиты интеллектуальной собственности в Российской Федерации
Authors: Изутина С.В. , Грачева Д.А.
Published: December 2024

В России уже давно проблема незаконного использования интеллектуальной собственности стоит чрезвычайно остро. Незаконно используются репродукции картин, выдержки из художественных произведений, образовательные программы. О программном обеспечении, фильмах и музыке и говорить нечего – оборот пиратского рынка значительно превышает официальный. Еще более обострились эти проблемы с введением санкций и уходом многих зарубежных компаний с российского рынка. В этих условиях даже те пользователи, которые были склонны к использованию официальных версий и не обращались к пиратскому рынку, стали вынуждены обратить на него внимание. Широкое распространение злоупотреблений и слабо развитая правовая база, сложность доказательства факта получения ущерба становится благоприятной почвой для все больших злоупотреблений в этой сфере. Предпринимаемые государством попытки улучшить ситуацию дают некоторый положительный эффект, но в целом ситуация остается прежней – количество нарушений в области права интеллектуальной собственности превышает все разумные и неразумные пределы. Ключевые слова: интеллектуальная собственность, судебная практика, защита прав интеллектуальной собственности в условиях санкций, патентные отношения, защита прав интеллектуальной собственности.

The problem of illegal use of intellectual property has been extremely acute in Russia for a long time. Reproductions of paintings, excerpts from works of art, educational programs are illegally used. There is nothing to say about software, movies and music – the turnover of the pirate market significantly exceeds the official one. These problems have become even more acute with the introduction of sanctions and the withdrawal of many foreign companies from the Russian market. Under these conditions, even those users who were inclined to use the official versions and did not turn to the pirate market, were forced to pay attention to it. The widespread abuse and poorly developed legal framework, the complexity of proving the fact of damage is becoming a fertile ground for more and more abuses in this area. The attempts made by the state to improve the situation have some positive effect, but in general the situation remains the same – the number of violations in the field of intellectual property law exceeds all reasonable and unreasonable limits.

Evaluation of Infrared Intensities using Diffusion Monte Carlo
Authors: Moonkaen Pattrapon , McCoy Anne
Published: December 2024

Approaches for evaluating excited state wave functions and energies using diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) with guiding functions (guided DMC) are discussed. For this work, the guiding functions are functions of a subset of the $3N-6$ coordinates that are needed to describe the structure of the molecule of interest. The DMC wave functions are used to evaluate intensities using two approaches. In the trial wave function approach, the product of the molecular wave function for one of the states involved in the transition and the guiding function for the second state is used to evaluate the matrix elements of the dipole moment. In the descendant weighting approach descendant weights are used to evaluate the value of the wave function for one of the states involved in the transition at the geometries sampled by the DMC wave function for the second state. The descendant weighting approximation is shown to be more accurate as well as computationally more expensive compared to approximations that are based on various forms of the trial wave function approach. Strategies are explored, which combine results of different forms of the trial wave function approximation to minimize the errors in this approach. The trial wave function and descendant weighting approaches are applied to a study of a harmonic oscillator, where the sensitivity of the calculated energies and intensities to the quality of the trial wave function is explored. The two approaches are also applied to calculations of frequencies and intensities of transitions in water, H3O2- a four-dimensional model based on H3O2-, and H5O2+. We also show how comparisons of the results obtained using several forms of the trial wave function approach allow us to explore how couplings among vibrational motions are reflected in the intensities.
Practical pathways to higher energy density LMFP battery cathodes

Published: December 2024

The design of new lithium-ion battery (LIB) cathode materials must balance many factors: performance, cost, manufacturability, safety, critical mineral usage and geopolitical constraints. Recently commercialised LiMnxFe1-xPO4 (LMFP) materials offer good energy density & stability, low material cost and excellent safety characteristics, avoiding the use of Co or Ni. Within this material set lies a wide variety of potential formulations (Mn/Fe ratio) exhibiting varied cathode properties and challenges. In this work, we assessed three commercially available LMFP materials with Mn content in the range 60 – 80 % in a full cell format, confirming the role of Mn/Fe ratio on specific capacity, energy density and electrochemical stability. High Mn content increased the average discharge voltage while maintaining specific discharge capacity, with 80 % Mn providing an 18 % boost to initial gravimetric energy density over LFP. However, worse kinetics and increased capacity fade rate resulted in the reduction and eventual elimination of this energy density advantage after 100 cycles. A blend cathode (LMFP and LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2, NMC811) was also evaluated, exhibiting characteristics of both material types. An initial 23 % boost to energy density over LMFP alone was diluted following NMC-dominated degradation in early cycles, but enhanced capacity retention over NMC811 alone remained in long-term cycling. This work highlights the potential advantages of these newly commercialised materials, while identifying outstanding challenges to widespread adoption and exploitation.

Authors: Adawiyah Robiatul , Yuliasari Nova , Hanifah Yuliza , Alawiyah Kamila , Rahayu Palapa Neza
Published: December 2024

This study explores the conversion of Areca fruit peel into carbon-based materials biochar (BC) and hydrochar (HC) for use as adsorbents in synthetic dye removal from wastewater. Conversion was achieved through pyrolysis for BC and hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) for HC. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed carbon formation, with both HC and BC showing an amorphous characteristics. FTIR analysis identified hydroxyl, carboxyl, acid, and ester functional groups in BC, HC and Areca fruit peel materials that are essential for adsorption. BET surface area measurements showed 82.584 m2/g for BC and 77.618 m2/g for HC. Adsorption experiments demonstrated CR removal capacities of 40.515 mg/g for HC and 40.616 mg/g for BC, significantly surpassing the 23.168 mg/g capacity of untreated Areca fruit peel. Over three regeneration cycles, both BC and HC retained structural integrity, highlighting their potential as reusable adsorbents for dye removal. These results suggest that Areca fruit peel-derived BC and HC are promising, sustainable adsorbents for wastewater treatment, particularly in mitigating environmental impacts from industrial dyes.
Numerical Analysis of Wave Interference Effects on Ship Resistance in Parallel Arrangements
Authors: Lee Wonho , Nam Bo Woo
Published: December 2024

Ships moving in formations experience complex hydrodynamic interactions, leading to changes in resistance and motion responses, which are important considerations in engineering applications. This study investigated the resistance of ships arranged in parallel formations using both theoretical and numerical methods. Thin ship theory and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were employed to analyze the wave interference effects among multiple advancing ships. First, variations in wave resistance as a function of ship speed were examined. It was observed that as ship speed increases, the wavelength becomes longer, resulting in periodic occurrences of destructive and constructive interference, which cause significant fluctuations in wave resistance. Next, the influence of separation distances on wave resistance was explored at a consistent ship speed. The results showed that smaller separation distances exhibit more pronounced variations in wave resistance. Finally, the overall characteristics of wave resistance changes with respect to the number of ships in parallel arrangements were reviewed. In conclusion, the study demonstrated that wave interference effects in parallel arrangements significantly impact wave resistance, depending on forward speed and separation distance.

Published: December 2024

This study systematically analyzes the impact of sediment disasters, such as those due to debris flows, on key facilities near the Gori nuclear power plant, aiming to identify limitations in the current safety management system. Using 62 years of rainfall data from the Busan weather station, probable rainfall values for return periods of 30, 50, 100, and 200 years were analyzed. These values were applied to various debris flow scenarios to evaluate the flow characteristics and impact forces on structures. The analysis reveals that the impact forces of debris flows increase sharply for return periods of 100 years or more, indicating that existing safety protocols may not adequately account for the topographical characteristics. This study highlights the necessity of a comprehensive safety assessment framework that integrates site-specific risks such as slope and sediment dynamics. By utilizing actual rainfall data, this study provides a safety evaluation that reflects the unique geographical hazards faced by nuclear facilities. The findings offer essential data to guide future policy decisions regarding site selection, design, and operational management of nuclear facilities, ultimately improving the disaster preparedness for high-risk locations in a way that differs from existing studies.

Published: December 2024

This paper included the study of Al-Rahimawi drainage basin, one of the watersheds in the Iraqi southern desert. It represents one of the hydro-geomorphological systems so-called Lower Valleys Region, according to the geomorphological division of Iraq. A set of geomorphometric parameters were used for the morphological characteristics of the Al-Rahimawi watershed, which gave precise consequences about this valley's geomorphological features and the erosive phase. The parameters used in this study are the circulatory ratio (RC), form factor (Ff), elongation ratio (Re), compactness factor (CC ), lemniscate ratio (k), and length/width ratio (R/W). In addition to using the digital elevation model (DEM) type SRTM and the satellite image of the American satellite Landsat ETM+8. The results indicated that the circulatory ratio was 0.154, suggesting that the watershed moved away from the circular shape. Also, the value of the form factor was low, reaching 0.098, which suggest that the watershed is close to the triangular shape. The results also demonstrated that the elongation ratio was low, reaching 0.353, indicating that the watershed is close to the rectangular shape. In addition, the value of the compactness factor was high, reaching 2.415. There is a rise in the lemniscate ratio, with a value of 2.551, indicating progress in the erosion cycle stages. The results suggested that the length-to-width ratio reached 5.054, which is a high percentage.

Published: December 2024

Environmental challenges related to solid waste generation and disordered consumption are becoming increasingly prominent. The Circular Economy (CE) has emerged as a strategy for generating value through effective waste management, and RL plays an important role in the transition to CE. Sustainable Design (SD) and Design for Reverse Logistics (DfRL) have emerged as approaches to integrating RL into product design. This research aimed to explore the context of design guidelines for RL under the concept of DfRL. To this end, a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach was used. The research covered aspects of design guidelines, such as related DfX, product design context, relationship with LR, sustainability and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In addition, the research identified research gaps, such as the definition of the term and hierarchy around design guidelines and the need for integration between research and technique to share design information. Potential areas were identified for DfRL and for integrating LR into the product process, promoting the transition to a more sustainable and circular production model, in line with the SDGs and the needs of future generations.

Authors: Nascimento Carmelita Blodow do , Oliveira Valéria Costa de , Pierozan Rodrigo Cesar , Gonzaga Lidia Bruna Teles , Ribeiro Francisco Roger Carneiro
Published: December 2024

Plant fibers represent a viable alternative due to their favorable mechanical properties capable of mitigating construction anomalies, such as cracks, in addition to offering economic and sustainable characteristics. This study aimed to assess the incorporation of tucumã fibers, derived from a native plant in the Amazon region, as a substitute for polypropylene fibers in coating mortars. For this purpose, mortars with varying fiber content (0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% additions) were produced and treated with a silane-siloxane-based hydrophobic agent, as fibers are prone to degradation. Subsequently, tests were conducted in the fresh state, including consistency index, water retention, bulk density, and air content, as well as tests in the hardened state, such as flexural tensile strength, compressive strength, tensile adhesion, ductility analysis, and capillary water absorption. Regarding the results in the fresh state from the respective tests, the addition of tucumã fibers increased the consistency index and decreased bulk density and water retention.

Kabupaten Bengkulu Tengah memiliki potensi peningkatan produksi padi, kondisi ini tercermin dari peningkatan luas areal panen padi seluas 168 hektar dalam kurun waktu 2022-2023. Potensi ini tidak hanya memberikan kontribusi terhadap peningkatan produksi beras namun juga limbah jerami yang dihasilkan oleh komoditas tersebut. Selama ini masyarakat terbiasa menumpuk limbah jerami hasil panen dan membakarnya. Kondisi ini menyebabkan polusi udara yang buruk pada saat setelah panen, limbah hasil tumpukan jerami juga dapat menjadi sarang bagi sebagian hama penyakit tanaman yang pada akhirnya dapat menyerang usaha tani yang sedang dijalankan. Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan anggota kelompok wanita tani (KWT) terhadap pemanfaatan jerami menjadi pupuk kompos. Tahapan dalam pemberdayaan Masyarakat ini meliputi survei lokasi kegiatan, implementasi kegiatan dan evaluasi.
