Authors: Munir Munir , Zalsabila Alya
Published: May 2023

Language is a communication tool that plays an important role in human life. By using language, one can relate to other people. Pronunciation is very important in vocabulary development because it involves distinguishing between sounds that combine to form words and concepts. Observations are carried out by observing and carefully recording events in the classroom, which occur during the interaction of all participants in the learning process at school. This study chose class IX students because the age level of these students is usually students who are less interested in learning one language, especially English. This research was conducted in four meetings. The results of the study indicate that the results of interviews that have been conducted by researchers indicate that the answers received by researchers indicate that students are very motivated and happy in learning English by using the media song. In addition, based on the results of observations and actions taken by researchers in using song media in teaching and learning activities, shows that students have succeeded in bringing about changes in how to pronounce the vocabulary spoken in every word tested. The important aspect of influencing the nation's vision and mission. Education is the key to a better future. Pronunciation is very important in vocabulary development because it involves distinguishing between sounds that combine to form words and concepts.

Authors: MISHAL SALEEM  , HINA IRFAN  , ARIF RASHEED MALIK
Published: May 2023

Objectives: This is a one-year study to find the frequency and pattern of self-inflicted injuries found on scrutiny of the record of medico-legal cases conducted during 01-01-2016 to 31-12-2016. Methodology: Out of a total of 3143 medico-legal cases conducted during the period of study, all the cases that fulfilled the inclusion criteria were selected. These were 77 cases where injury was caused by the victim himself. Analysis of these cases was made with respect to age, gender, type of injury, site of injury, nature of injury, number of injuries and employment status of the person. Results: Cases of self-inflicted injuries constituted 2.45 % of all the medico-legal cases conducted during 2016 at Mayo Hospital, Lahore. The incidence of incised wounds was highest being 29% while corrosive burns constituted 27%, firearm injuries constituted 21%, flame burns 19%, lacerated wounds 2.6% and bruises 1.3%. Victims were primarily in the 11-30 year age group (80.52%) with a male to female ratio of 2.67:1.

Conclusion: Self-inflicted injuries are mostly incised wounds caused by sharp edged weapons. The most recurring site of injury is the forearm. Males are more commonly reported to be involved in such cases. Nature of injuries is predominantly non-suicidal. The usual pattern is a single injury in the low-income category males. However, among the life-threatening injuries, females outnumber males.

Published: May 2023

Motivation is one aspect that determines the success of livestock business as an economic activity in increasing income and fulfilled family needs. The research was carried out in Ngudi Makmur II Farmers Group and Tirto Kencono Farmers Group, Banyudono Village, Dukun District  from 05 March to 30 April 2018. The aim were to know the level of motivation of farmers in the cultivation of sheep and determine the relation between characteristics of the farmers to motivation in sheep farming. The study design used was descriptive quantitative. The variables of this research consisted of independent variables such as the characteristics of farmers (age, education level, farming experience, the number of livestock ownership and the number of family dependents) and the dependent variable in the form of farmers motivation. Respondents in this study were 35 people taken by census method. Data were collected by observation and interview. Motivation levels were analyzed descriptively while the relationship between variables were analyzed by Rank Spearman correlation. The results showed that 2.86% of farmers at moderate level, 42.86% of farmers  at  high level and 54.29% of farmers at very high level. The aging of farmers is likely to decrease the motivation in the cultivation of sheep, the higher the level of education of farmers that motivation increases, the more the number of livestock owned by the motivation tends to increase, farmers with more experience tend to have a higher motivation and the greater number of dependents the motivation of farmers tend more increasing.

Testing the assumptions in emergent constraints: Why does the 'Emergent constraint on equilibrium climate sensitivity from global temperature variability' work for CMIP5 and not CMIP6?
Authors: Williamson Mark S. , Cox Peter M. , Huntingford Chris , Nijsse Femke J. M. M.
Published: May 2023

Abstract. It was shown that a theoretically derived relation between annual global mean temperature variability and climate sensitivity held in the (then latest) state-of-the-art CMIP5 climate model ensemble (Cox et al (2018), hereafter CHW18). This so called emergent relationship was then used with observations to constrain the value of equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) to about 3 °C. Since this study was published, CMIP6, a newer ensemble of climate models has become available. Schlund et al (2020) showed that many of the emergent constraints found in CMIP5 were much weaker in the newer ensemble including that of CHW18. As the constraint in CHW18 was based on a relationship derived from reasonable physical principles it is of interest to find out why it got weaker in CMIP6. Here, we look in detail at the assumptions made in deriving the emergent relationship in CHW18 and test them for CMIP5 and CMIP6 models. We show one assumption, that of low correlation and variation between the internal variability parameter and ECS, while true for CMIP5 is not true for CMIP6. When accounted for, an emergent relationship appears once again in both CMIP ensembles implying the theoretical basis is still applicable although the original assumption in CHW18 does not. Unfortunately however, we are unable to provide an emergent constraint in CMIP6 as observational estimates of the internal variability parameter are too uncertain.
Changing Snow Water Storage in Natural Snow Reservoirs
Authors: Aragon Christina Marie , Hill David Foster
Published: May 2023

Abstract. This work defines a new snow metric, snow water storage (SwS), which is the integrated area under the snow water equivalent (SWE) curve. Other widely-used snow metrics capture snow variables at a single point in time (e.g. maximum SWE) or describe temporal snow qualities (e.g. length of snow season), SwS can be applied at numerous spatial and temporal scales. The flexibility in the SwS metric allows us to characterize the natural reservoir function of snowpacks and quantify how this function has changed in recent decades. In this study, changes in the SwS metric are evaluated at point, gridded and aggregated scales across the conterminous United States (hereafter US). There is special focus on 16 mountainous EPA Level III Ecoregions (ER3s), which play an inordinate role in US annual SwS (SwSA). An average of 72 % of the annual SwSA in the US is held in the 16 mountain ER3s, despite these ER3s only covering 16 % of the US land area. SwSA and monthly SwS (SwSM) have changed significantly across the US since 1982 at point, gridded and ER3 scales. This change is spatially variable across the US with more spatially widespread significant decreases in SwSA than increases. The greatest SwSM loss occurs early in the snow snow season, particularly in November. All but two ER3 mountain ranges have decreasing trends in SwSA and there has been a 22 % decline in SwSA across all mountain ER3s. Unsurprisingly, the highest elevations are responsible for the greatest SwS in all mountain ranges, though the elevations that have lost or gained SwS over the 39 years of study are variable across mountain ranges. Comparisons of the percent change in SwS to other snow metrics reveals that change in the SWE curve has not been shape-preserving - instead, the SWE curve has been flattening. As we move into a future of increased climate variability and increased variability in mountain snowpacks, spatially and temporally flexible snow metrics such as SwS may become more valuable.
Temporal and spatial mapping of theoretical biomass potential across the European Union

Published: May 2023

Abstract. With the increasing challenge to shift our economic system from carbon to renewable energy carriers the demand for biogenic resources is growing. Biogenic municipal waste, agricultural by-products and industrial residues are under-utilised but are increasingly gaining in value. To date, there is no continuous database for these resources in the EU-27 countries. Existing datasets that estimate resource potentials in a single time step often lack validation. A reliable and continuous database is thus needed to support the growing bioeconomy. Spatial and temporal high-resolution data of biogenic residues serve as an invaluable resource for identifying areas with significant theoretical biomass potential and allows an in-depth understanding of dynamic patterns over time. This study elucidates the theoretical biomass potentials of 13 distinct biomasses from municipal waste, agricultural by-products and industrial residues quantified annually from 2010–2020. The spatial scope of the research covers the EU-27 Member States incorporating all entities represented at various levels within the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) as delineated by Eurostat, where possible. The regionalised data are subsequently validated against national statistics. The findings demonstrate the feasibility of creating a time series of theoretical biomass potentials for the 13 selected waste types, by-products, and residues, and underscore the critical role of data validation when regionalising national or sub-national data to smaller NUTS entities. It could be shown that the values of small regions (NUTS 3) correlated well on average. When looking at individual regions in detail, regional characteristics such as the location of cultivation, waste management or reporting methods could lead to over- or underestimates of up to 100 %. Therefore, data at the regional level provide only limited information. In the case of industrial residues regionalisation gave good results localising preference regions of high theoretical biomass potential but more data on industrial production are needed to estimate also residual quantities at subnational and local levels. Biomass potentials modelled in this study are published in an open access database, which is designed as an extensible tool, enabling the understanding of national and regional trends of theoretical biomass potentials in the European Union and of the reliability of the regionalised data. The estimated theoretical potential dataset can be downloaded free of charge from: https://doi.org/10.48480/g53t-ks72 (Günther et al., 2023).
Extremes of surface snow grains change in East Antarctica and their relationship with meteorological conditions

Published: May 2023

Abstract. This study explores the grain size seasonal variations on the East Antarctic Plateau, where dry metamorphism occurs, by using microwave radiometer observations from 2000 to 2022. Local meteorological conditions and large scale atmospheric phenomena have been considered in order to explain some peculiar changes of the snow grains. We find that the highest ice divide is the region with the largest grain size in the summer, mainly because the wind speed is low. Moreover, some extreme grain size values with respect to the average (over +3σ) were identified. In these cases, the ERA5 reanalysis revealed a high pressure blocking/ridge situation in the proximity of the onsets of the summer increase of the grain size, conveying the relatively warm and moist air coming from the mid latitudes, often associated with atmospheric rivers. If weak wind and low temperature conditions occur during the following weeks, dry snow metamorphism is facilitated, leading to grain growth. This determines anomalous high maximums of the snow grain size at the end of summer. These phenomena confirm the importance of moisture intrusion events in the East Antarctica and their impact on the physical properties of the ice sheet surface, with a co-occurrence of atmospheric rivers and seasonal changes of the grain size significant over 95 %.

Animal models of inflammatory bowel disease: novel experiments for revealing pathogenesis of colitis, fibrosis, and colitis-associated colon cancer
Authors: Lee Chan Hyung , Koh Seong-Joon , Radi Zaher A , Habtezion Aida
Published: May 2023

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), comprising Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, is a lifelong disease that manifests with chronic intestinal inflammation, sequential fibrosis, and an increased risk of colitis-associated colon cancer (CAC). The combined effects of genetic, immunological, environmental, and microbial factors render it difficult to determine the specific mechanism underlying the induction and perpetuation of IBD. Various animal models of IBD have contributed enormously to the understanding of IBD pathogenesis in terms of genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, microbiome, and drug development of novel therapeutics. Although comprehensive research on IBD has been enabled by advanced technologies, such as genetically engineered models, there is a great need to develop relevant in vivo models of colitis and fibrosis. Here, we review 4 categories of animal models of acute and chronic intestinal inflammation, fibrosis, and CAC: chemically induced, genetically engineered, T cell transfer, and spontaneous gene mutation models.
Зміни смисложиттєвих орієнтацій особистості під впливом пандемії COVID-19
Authors: Перелигіна Ліна , Похілько Діана
Published: May 2023

Вивчення смисложиттєвих орієнтацій особистості є актуальною темою, на нашу думку саме тому, що і досі зарубіжні та вітчизняні дослідники не прийшли до єдиного тлумачення цього поняття. І це має певний сенс, тому як на формування та розвиток ціннісно смислової сфери впливає багато факторів (вік, мотивація, спрямованість особистості, Я- концепція, соціалізація і інакше) і по сьогоднішній день являється однією із актуальних тем глибокого дослідження та вивчення.

В нашому дослідженні ми вивчаємо вплив коронавірусної хвороби викликаною COVID-19 та зміни та трансформації у смисложиттевих орієнтаціях особистості.

Показано, що ситуація навколо пандемії для певної частини опитаних є кризовою подією, яка обумовлює певним чином трансформаційні процеси в ціннісно-смисловій сфері особистості.

Під впливом пандемії почали змінюватися уявлення людей, змінювався процес повсякденної життєдіяльності, з'являлися обмеження і заборони. При цьому потреба людини у дотриманні вимог щодо запобігання поширенню вірусу, потреба контролювати власну поведінку та поведінку оточуючих стає реальністю, соціально доброзичливе ставлення змінюється підозрілістю та стигмою. Люди в усьому світі вже не живуть так, як раніше – такий спосіб життя став новою соціальною реальністю для кожного.
Усі виявлені трансформації ціннісно-смислової сфери чоловіків та жінок свідчать проте, що в залежності від вплива нової̈ соціальної̈ ситуації̈, у нашому дослідженні це карантині обмеження викликані коронавірусною хворобою COVID-19, виразно проявляється в активному розвитку морально-ціннісних та естетичних почуттів, освоєнні нових соціальних ролей̆ (економічні, професійні, громадянські, сімейні, побутові тощо); налаштуванні міжособистісних відносин; відбувається закріплення або реконструкція старих, а також формування нових схильностей та інтересів, визначення перспектив життя та смисложиттєвих орієнтацій особистості.
За результатами видно, що у молоді не має ніяких відмінностей за шкалами СЖО між чоловіками та жінками, водночас у всіх інших групах відмічаються відмінності але слід зазначити, що найбільші відмінності спостерігаються у 3 віковій групі за шкалами «Цілі», «Результат», «Локус контролю життя», «Свідомість життя».
Адаптація військовослужбовців до умов війни: досвід США та нові виклики для України
Authors: Данілін Олександр
Published: May 2023

У сучасному світі, де війна та конфлікти залишаються невід'ємною частиною міжнародної політики, адаптація військовослужбовців до екстремальних умов воєнних дій є ключовою проблемою, яка вимагає постійного вдосконалення та пошуку нових підходів. Дання стаття присвячена висвітленню проблем адаптації військовослужбовців до екстремальних умов воєнних дій. Проведено теоретичний аналіз актуальних досліджень американських вчених, присвячених пошуку нових підходів до удосконалення процесу адаптації військовослужбовців. Виділено та проаналізовано два основні сучасні підходи, які розглядають психологічну адаптацію військовослужбовців як елемент більш широкого поняття адаптації військових підрозділів. Одним з них є підхід, який базується на розумінні психологічної адаптації як процесу, який передбачає активну взаємодію між військовослужбовцем та середовищем. Другий підхід розглядає адаптацію як комплексний процес, який включає в себе не тільки психологічний аспект, а й фізіологічний, соціальний та культурний. Проведено емпіричне дослідження адаптивності військовослужбовців ЗСУ за допомогою методики «Адаптивність-200». Результати проаналізовані та описані, надано рекомендації щодо удосконалення кожного елементу процесу адаптації. Для того, щоб отримати більш повну картину процесу адаптації, було проведено інтерв’ю з військовослужбовцями, які знаходилися в зоні проведення АТО. Результати дослідження показали, що факторами, які негативно впливають на процес адаптації, є нестача якісного харчування, недостатність води та інші ресурси, постійні нічні обстріли та високий рівень стресу.

Одним з головних факторів, який позитивно впливає на процес адаптації, є підтримка з боку родини та близьких людей. Військовослужбовці, які мали можливість зв’язуватися з рідними, друзями та близькими по телефону або Інтернету, відчували більшу підтримку та мотивацію для виконання своїх обов’язків. Виокремлено потенційні напрямки досліджень феномену адаптації.

Published: June 2023

Knowledge of basic veterinary disciplines such as animal anatomy and physi- ology is essential for the practicing veterinary professional. It is important to take into ac- count not only the features of the morphology of the species of the animal, but also the breed and age patterns of the structure of various organs and systems. The purpose of our study is to study the anatomical and topographic patterns of the structure of the branches of the right coronary artery of the heart in German shepherds that have reached physi- ological maturity. The object of the study was ten corpses of German shepherds aged 18- 24 months, which have reached physiological maturity. The work was carried out at the Department of Animal Anatomy, St. Petersburg State University of Veterinary Medicine. The methods for the study were: fine anatomical preparation, the manufacture of corrosive preparations and photography. According to the results of the study, it was found that the right coronary artery in the German Shepherd is underdeveloped, which corresponds to the classification and confirms the left-coronary type of blood supply to the heart in dogs. The subsinusoid artery in the German Shepherd belongs to the left coronary artery, and the right coronary artery does not reach this region. The right conical branches, as well as the right anastomotic and right terminal branches, form anastomoses with the branches of the left coronary artery, that is, close the collateral blood supply pathways and reduce the risk of coronary heart pathologies. The right coronary artery in the studied German Shepherds does not supply blood to the interventricular and interatrial septa.

Authors:   Irkutsk State Agrarian University named after A. A. Yezhevsky, Dashko Den
Published: June 2023

The aim of our research is to study the effect of transcranial electrical stimula- tion on the regeneration of damaged sciatic nerve in rats. In the experiment, an operation was performed to cut the sciatic nerve at the level of the middle of the thigh and connect its ends with an epiperineural suture. After the operation, one group (experimental) of animals was subjected to electrical exposure using electrodes inserted subcutaneously in the fore- head and behind the auricles. The electric current was supplied in the mode of a combina- tion of a direct current of 0.8 ± 0.2 mA and a pulse current of 0.4 ± 0.1 mA with a frequency of 70 Hz, a pulse duration of 3.0-3.5 ms. There were 4 sessions of exposure lasting 1 hour with an interval of three days for two weeks after surgery. The animals were monitored for 9 months. Transcranial electrical stimulation has been found to activate regenerative morpho-functional processes in the nerve fibers of the damaged sciatic nerve in laboratory animals.
Rediscover Mogi: Marketing, Communication, and Lovingness for the Recognition of Subjects and Places
Authors: MELO Camila C. , BAPTISTA Maria Luiza Cardinale
Published: May 2023

The objective of this text is to reflect on the relationship between Marketing, Communication, and lovingness, for the recognition of subjects and places, based on an investigation involving the Rediscover Mogi campaign. It results from ongoing studies at the University of Caxias do Sul, in the Postgraduate Program in Tourism and Hospitality. The city of Mogi das Cruzes, located in the State of São Paulo – Brazil, was chosen as the field of study. In theoretical terms, the text associates studies on Marketing and Communication, in contrast to the capitalistic discussion and the challenges of organizing production and communication more focused on lovingness, as an ethics of care and relation, in line with contemporary demands. The methodological strategy used is the Cartography of Knowledge, proposed by Baptista (2014, 2020a), with investigative actions that include a Bibliographic Survey, Writing Reports by one of the Researchers, and Cartography of Data Related to Mogi and the Rediscover Mogi Campaign. The text flags the potential for reinventing the Marketing-Communication binomial, which can be apprehended by the ‘conversations' of the residents of the Mogi das Cruzes on social networks.

Extremus Danza and the Cultural Association La Calle Baila since 2018 in the Cabanyal neighborhood (Valencia, Spain). This study reveals that the inclusion of the Roma community depends to a large extent on the work that must be done with most of the society, unaware of the Roma culture. In addition, it is necessary to introduce aspects of gypsy culture into the Spanish educational system, as is the case with flamenco. Given the lack of studies on flamenco as a tool for social inclusion, this research is relevant for the analysis of one of the pioneering projects in Spain, enabling the replication and scaling of its model and its methodology in educational centers in the Spanish territory to lessen the existing antigypsyism.
Stage folk dance versus character dance
Authors: Talpa Svetlana
Published: June 2023

In the article, the author’s main objective is to argue the need to study and capitalize on folk stage dance and character dance by comparatively assigning their methodological and aspectual features. For this purpose, the analytical method of approaching the problem is used, as well as the pedagogical aspect. Performing folk dance and character dance exploits the capacity of the mind of both a professional dancer (ballet artists) and of an amateur dancer, by educating the body in order to be aware of each movement performed. From a methodological point of view, the stage folk dance and the character dance are analogous, and from the aspectual point of view they are varied, differing depending on the performers/artists/dancers, the place of manifestation and the specific music. These forms of dance are analyzed by specific artistic means, and finally they are reproduced in choreographic works (choreographic suites) or in ballet performances.
Female images in Moldovan sculpture
Authors: Marian Ana
Published: June 2023

Alexander Plamadeala was the first who created sculptural female images, among which were not only members of the sculptor's family and his colleagues in the workshop, but also other modern women that attracted his attention with the beauty of their external forms. The female sculptural portrait performed by Lazar Dubinovsky contains romantic, harmonious and gentle images. The women’s sculptural portrait in the work of Klavdia Kobizeva focuses on everyday life and the images created by her are deep ones. The sculptor Brunghilda Epelbaum-Marchenko makes portraits in color, opening a new approach to creating sculptural likenesses. The sculptor Alexandra Pikunova-Tyrtseu conveys the images laconically, thereby creating a balance between the feelings and thoughts of the characters. Female images in Moldovan sculpture are always convincing, as the representatives of the epoch, contain such a proportion of tenderness, which especially attracts the audience.
Historical context and specific aspects of the architecture of wine-making enterprises in the Republic of Moldova
Authors: Trifan Aurelia
Published: June 2023

The investigation of the various sources concerning the development of viticulture and wine-making over the centuries, accompanied by the introduction in practice of various grape processing facilities and wine-making technologies, demonstrates the generation of stable forms of wine-making constructions – wineries – which evolve over time under the influence of contextual factors: economic and technical opportunities, political pressures, cultural trends, social innovations, etc. Thus, several periods of manifestation of wine-making architecture in the national historical space are identified. The ancient and medieval periods are characterized by a vernacular architecture, and the period of early capitalism is distinguished by the emergence of a stylistic architecture, representing professional involvement. The architecture of the Soviet period introduces a new way of perceiving architecture – through prefabricated, standardized elements, with tendencies towards a sterile architecture, absolved of any decorativism. The beginning of the XXI century is determined by the development of the architecture of the wine-making complexes according to the current trends of introduction of social innovations and connection to the tourist flow.
Immunogenomic analysis of human brain metastases reveals diverse immune landscapes across genetically distinct tumors
Authors: Álvarez-Prado Ángel F
Published: May 2023

Brain metastases (BrMs) are the most common form of brain tumors in adults and frequently originate from lung and breast primary cancers. BrMs are associated with high mortality, emphasizing the need for more effective therapies. Genetic profiling of primary tumors is increasingly used as part of the effort to guide targeted therapies against BrMs, and immune-based strategies for the treatment of metastatic cancer are gaining momentum. However, the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) of BrM is extremely heterogeneous, and whether specific genetic profiles are associated with distinct immune states remains unknown. Here, we perform an extensive characterization of the immunogenomic landscape of human BrMs by combining whole-exome/whole-genome sequencing, RNA sequencing of immune cell populations, flow cytometry, immunofluorescence staining, and tissue imaging analyses. This revealed unique TIME phenotypes in genetically distinct lung- and breast-BrMs, thereby enabling the development of personalized immunotherapies tailored by the genetic makeup of the tumors.
Superkurtosis
Authors: Degiannakis Stavros , Filis George , Siourounis Grigorios , Trapani Lorenzo
Published: May 2023

Very little is known on how traditional risk metrics behave under intraday trading. We fill this void by examining the finiteness of the returns’ moments and assessing the impact of their infinity in a risk management framework. We show that when intraday trading is considered, assuming finite higher order moments, potential losses are materially larger than what the theory predicts, and they increase exponentially as the trading frequency increases - a phenomenon we call superkurtosis. Hence, the use of the current risk management techniques under intraday trading impose threats to the stability of financial markets, given that capital ratios may be severely underestimated.
Impacts of the Form Design and Operational Factors on the Energy Consumption of a Solar-Powered Boat: A System Dynamics Approach
Authors: GÖKSU Burak , YÜKSEL Onur
Published: May 2023

This research paper aims to design a solar-powered boat and analyze the effects of environmental and form-related factors on power consumption and battery duration by utilizing a system dynamics approach-based simulation. The boat form is designed as the planing hull and its hull resistance analysis was ensured in Maxsurf package program. PV panels with 548 W power output and two battery packs with 4660 Wh capacity were placed on the hull body to employ an electric motor with a 10-kW nominal power output. Two MPPTs were implemented in the system to increase solar system efficiency. The relationships between all system components were modelled in Vensim software to observe battery endurance changes under different conditions. Results demonstrated that the ideal vessel speed is calculated to be around 7 knots with roughly 8 hours of battery duration for the designed boat. A critical stage of charge for sailing is 40% since 1.63 hours of cruising time may be achieved while maintaining a speed of 5 m/s (9.72 knots). Indeed, the boat’s rising trim angle shortens the battery discharge time; thus, navigation by no trim angle is the most effective usage for the vessel.
A Look at the Saying of Peace at Home, Peace in the World in 8th Grade Students' Perceptions of War and Peace: A Qualitative Research
Authors: COŞKUN Yasemin
Published: May 2023

In this study, 8th grade students T.C. It is aimed to reveal the awareness of the motto "Peace at Home, Peace in the World" in their perceptions of the value of peace and the concept of war within the scope of the History of Revolution and Kemalism course curriculum. In order to achieve the general purpose of the research, the basic qualitative research method was used. The data collection tool is a semi-structured interview form prepared by taking expert opinion. 19 students studying in the 8th grade of secondary school on a voluntary basis participated in the study. The data obtained from the student interview forms were subjected to descriptive analysis. The data are combined in common themes and presented in tables. Frequency distributions were revealed by digitizing the themes, and then interpretations supported by examples were made. In the results that emerged, in the context of the principle of "Peace at Home, Peace in the World", students associated the concept of peace with the foreign policy of our country, where they emphasized peace in the country more, and peace in the world. It has been found out what kind of effects the concepts of war and peace have created, how they relate the developments in our country's domestic and foreign policy with the idiom, and that students closely follow the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian war and develop solutions to the wars. There are very few studies in the literature on the concept of peace, which has maintained its value throughout history and has gained more importance in recent years. Therefore, this study is expected to contribute to the existing gap.

Determinación de una relación entre el módulo de rotura y la resistencia a la flexión del hormigón hidráulico
Authors:   Universidad Católica de Cuenca, Crespo Crespo Jorge Efraín , Quevedo Pesántez Fausto David ,   Universidad Católica de Cuenca
Published: June 2023

La investigación analiza la correlación entre en la resistencia a flexión y la compresiva del hormigón hidráulico. Sabiendo que se construye con una infinidad de materiales, se ha segmentado el universo tomando en cuenta que las propiedades mecánicas del hormigón deben determinarse en aquellos cuyos materiales constitutivos tienen un mínimo control de calidad, evitando la introducción de un sinfín de variables provenientes de múltiples combinaciones de áridos y cementos. La investigación se desarrolló realizando ensayos mecánicos de rotura en cilindros y vigas elaboradas con la misma mezcla y a la misma edad de tal forma que se obtengan datos de resistencia flexionante y compresiva para cada mezcla de prueba. Los ensayos se desarrollaron bajo los procedimientos establecidos en las normas ASTM C78 y ASTMC39. Cada mezcla de prueba fue elaborada con una distinta relación agua cemento, variando en 0.05 desde 0.35 hasta 0.60, tomando 6 muestras para cada tipo de ensayo (vigas y cilindros). La preparación y curado de las probetas se realizaron bajo estricto cumplimiento de la norma ASTM C192, dejando en curado hasta la fecha de la rotura. Los resultados de los ensayos se procesaron estadísticamente obteniéndose una nube de puntos con una tendencia marcada, el ajuste por mínimos cuadrados permitió obtener ecuaciones similares a las obtenidas por el ACI, aunque con ciertas diferencias que para efectos de diseño pueden considerarse significativas. Las ecuaciones permiten obtener valores más confiables según las características propias de los materiales locales.
