"Psychic discourse" and its dominants (on the material of the TV show "The battle of psychics")
Authors: Dementyev V.V.
Published: October 2024

The "psychic discourse" is analyzed on the material of the speech of the participants of the TV show "The Battle of Psychics", in two states: neutral, when they look no different from "ordinary people", and "in a trance", when they perform the tasks assigned to them "on superpowers". Certain patterns and stereotypes in the speech of psychics are revealed. A pragmatic study of the speech of psychics is carried out in connection with the factors and parameters of the communication situation, first of all, the addressee factor and the use of suggestion, and the semantic study of the meaningful categories of uncertainty and negation, which we consider the dominants of "psychic discourse", and the means of their expression. Possible meanings and functions of uncertainty and negation are revealed: a consequence of the "magical prohibition" to name "magical entities" when communicating with the uninitiated; a consequence of the fact that the psychic does not fully understand what is "dictated from above" to him; the fact that the psychic is in a trance state, which impedes the normal process of speech production; the absence in the language of the exact word / name for a magical phenomenon or entity. In addition, the more vaguely the psychic expresses himself, the more difficult it is to check / catch him in error. Linguistic means of expressing uncertainty and negation in the speech of psychics are identified and analyzed: deictic vocabulary with the meaning of uncertainty; the use of words with generalized semantics (often with a bias towards mysticism); the use in one context of autosemantic vocabulary with different, even opposite, reference (trousers are darkish-light); speech-informative verbs with “not” and other indicators of negation and uncertainty (I don't know, I don't understand, I don't see).
Linguopragmatic and ethnocultural features of agricultural naming (on the example of names of cucumber varieties)
Authors: Evtugova N.N. , Novikova E.V.
Published: October 2024

Studies of the peculiarities of naming in agriculture is important due to both extralinguistic factors (the development of breeding, international relations in agricultural science and practice) and linguistic ones (the specifics of creating names of varieties of vegetables, fruits, etc. have not been given much focus). The purpose of the study is to determine the linguistic and ethno-cultural features of agricultural naming in Russia. The work uses interdisciplinary approach consisting of semantic analysis and linguistic and cultural description. The names of one of the most popular vegetables in Russia - the cucumber - were chosen as the research material. The conducted analysis allows us to draw the following conclusions: less than half of the names are identifying motivated names. The most representative ones are the identifying motivations "place of selection", "high quality", "size" and "color". The main linguistic means of forming the names of varieties include diminutives, metaphorical models and allusions. In the conditionally symbolic names, in the aspect of motivation, we can observe ethno-cultural specificity actualized through the vocabulary of the thematic groups "Russian family traditions", "family", "military ranks", "heroes of films and cartoons", "titles of crowned persons", "sports", "manager in the professional sphere", "reference qualities of a man", and nationally labeled anthroponyms, phraseological units and national cultural realities. The names of varieties of vegetables (cucumbers) as commercial names, have a number of peculiar features. Firstly, this is due to the fact that these names of varieties are given mainly by plant breeders who are not specialists in naming. Secondly, these advertising names simultaneously address two target audiences - agricultural specialists and amateur gardeners. Typical for the names of cucumber varieties are special markers, for example, numbers, as well as abbreviations that are understandable only to breeders. A large number of hybrids appearing annually need to be registered, which results in many similar names.
The construction of the city image in foreign media: a study of thematic framing
Authors: Samkova M.A.
Published: October 2024

The key research question is what image of the city of Chelyabinsk, and Chelyabinsk region is built in the English-spoken media of Asia-Pacific region and African countries. The paper aims to analyze the key actors within the frame theory and how frames can be applied to build the image of the city and region. It also deals with frame effects on the actors' responsibility. We have analyzed 443 English news texts taken from the NOW Corpus. The main research method is frame analysis. According to S. Iyengar, there are thematic and episodic news frames. The research findings reveal that thematic frames (97%) prevailed overepisodic ones (3%). A thematic news frame creates a generalized image of Chelyabinsk and Chelyabinsk region. Thematic news frames attribute the responsibility for the city and region problems to the authorities, or government, or an object (an asteroid). Thematic news frame use emotional evaluative vocabulary, terms, action verbs, metaphors, and epithets of anthropomorphic semantics.
Internationalisms as a linguodidactic resource for effective teaching the German language
Authors: Avdosenko E.V. , Panina T.G.
Published: October 2024

Foreign language teachers, working with non-linguistic students who have low level of language, are frequently facing the challenges that require intensive and effective methods in teaching. One of the methods to master foreign vocabulary is the use of modern internationalisms. The purpose of this work is to analyze the didactic potential of internationalisms in foreign language teaching, to develop a set of exercises for internationalisms acquisition at the elementary level of learning the German language and to test it in groups of non-linguistic beginners. The methodological basis of the study was the existing approaches for selection of lexical units, the analysis of methodological techniques and strategies when working with international vocabulary. As a result, we have developed and visualized a set of exercises based on the international vocabulary of the German language; then we tested it in student groups of a technical university. The learning kit comprising three stages is designed for the first month of training. The first two stages are aimed at reading skills development through reproductive exercises with the gradual introduction of conditional speech tasks in order to immerse students in natural communicative context step by step. At the third stage, the text and audio material is added. The productive exercises get the students prepared for the basic curriculum. Testing of acquisition showed positive outcomes. Internationalisms served as lexical basis for further enlargement of students' vocabulary; it became an assimilation mechanism in learning and mastering German by students of non-linguistic majoring.
INVESTIGATING THE ROLE OF AGRI-TECH STARTUP IN SUPPORTING INCLUSIVE FINANCE FOR FARMERS IN INDONESIA
Authors: Aziz Subkhi Abdul , Prihadyanti Dian , Sari Karlina , Pitaloka Ardanareswari Ayu
Published: October 2024

Small-scale farmers are often financially excluded due to limited access to formal financial services. For decades, the Indonesian government has launched credit programs for farmers' financial inclusivity. However, it has yet to improve farmers' access to financial services significantly. The Indonesian government has encouraged financial technology providers to enhance credit financing for farmers. Besides fintech startups, agri-tech startup companies have helped provide digital financial services to the agricultural sector. This study aimed to analyze different types of agricultural startup businesses in supporting inclusive finance for farmers. This study uses a qualitative approach by conducting an online semi-structured interview as a data collection technique for four agri-tech startups and two experts. The data was analyzed by template analysis. The result showed that the presence of agri-tech startups could enhance farmers' opportunity to access new financial sources –either through crowdfunding or internal company financial resources - which is better than the existing financing schemes. However, several challenges arose regarding the existing culture that caused farmers to hesitate to join the agri-tech startups' program. Other challenges related to intermediaries' power in agricultural business that had strong ties with farmers' lives are the lack of infrastructure such as road and internet access and farmers' skill in using digital technology. Agri-tech startups have reduced those challenges by sending agriculture experts to the farmland, building intense communication with farmers, cooperating with intermediaries, and providing training for young farmers and farmer's children to optimize the use of smartphones in supplying agriculture knowledge and business.

This research aims to identify strategies to improve the community’s economy through environmentally based tourism and social media in Nagari Sungai Pinang, Pesisir Selatan Regency, West Sumatra. This study used qualitative methods with observation, in-depth interviews, utilization of documentation, and FGD. As an analytical tool, this research used Anthony Giddens’ structural theory of observation practice which is not only determined by the agent but also by structure. According to the research findings, the strategy for improving the community’s economy through environmentally based tourism and social media can be seen in the utilization of the community’s diverse tourism business potential, which includes tourism beaches, tourism mangrove forests, tourism nautical (sea), and tour island. Homestay, Manjuto Beach, and attractive islands such as Pamuntusan Island, Pagang, Marrak, Karanggo, and Erong Bay have all contributed to the growth of business tourism. Its development is aided by local institutions and local expertise from an environmental standpoint. There are other opportunities for enterprises that may be established without damaging natural beauty, including tourist firms that involve underprivileged people. The strategy for enhancing the economy of the public is to include all components from the outset, given that the location is common land in line with the customs that apply in the community of Minangkabau West Sumatera. Apart from that, social media is also used as a promotional tool by involving the younger generation.
THE DYNAMICS OF POLICY CHANGE AND AGILE GOVERNANCE: HOW INDONESIAN GOVERNMENT RESPONSE TO COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Murti Anak Agung Gde Brahmantya , Ilman Ghulam Maulana
Published: October 2024

Indonesia and other countries must deal with the COVID-19 pandemic with limited information control amid uncertainty. Handling a pandemic that has become a crisis places great demands on the government to provide agile and dynamic policies. Variations of policies that the Indonesian government has issued raise doubts in the public sphere. The government changed several policies quickly and easily, giving the impression that they did not go through a thorough formulating process. It shows that the handling of COVID-19 requires a policy system that is quite complex due to the many interactions of various sectors. By using qualitative methods, this study attempts to discuss the dynamics of changing public policies by using the concept of incremental policy amid demands for agile governance implementation by looking at the cases of policies issued by the Indonesian government in response to COVID-19. The dynamic of the policy network will be explored further to dismantle the discussion of policies for handling COVID-19 in Indonesia. Therefore, the results of this research show the challenges in implementing agile principles simply by changing and adapting policies to empirical conditions. In its application, agile governance shows several dominant actors who gather resources and support, shape policy outcomes, and advance their interests.

Published: October 2024

This research analyzes how communication between stakeholders is established in implementing policies for handling land issues in the former PTPN II HGU in North Sumatra. The research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach by tracing related Literature studies. The research results show that the media and communication carried out by the North Sumatra Provincial Government in handling land issues of the former PTPN II HGU is direct communication in the form of socialization and coordination in strategic and technical forms. The communication carried out by the North Sumatra BPN Regional Office is direct in the form of support to the North Sumatra Provincial Government. The BPN Regional Office plays a vital role because regulations related to HGU come from BPN RI. The policy public communication strategy is carried out by increasing the intensity of public policy communication, involving the public in policy-making, and conveying information through the media. Factors influencing policy include openness of information, credibility, and government authority in reducing uncertainty and risk in resolving former PTPN II HGU problems. This research provides insight into alternative policy models for the North Sumatra Provincial Government in handling land conflicts. This research helps to understand the typology of land conflicts handled by BPN RI. This also emphasizes the need to increase legal awareness among the community and overcome systematic acts of provocation that lead to conflicts over land rights in North Sumatra Province.

Authors: Huang Wei , Su Xinwei
Published: October 2024

The Huaiyang Canal, a significant section of the Grand Canal, boasts representative tourist attractions. This study analysis of online reviews from Ctrip and Mahive using R language, Gephi, ROST CM, and SPSS has provided insights into tourists’ perceptions of the Huaiyang Canal’s image. Key findings include: (1) Dominant landscape images encompass gardens, canals, and buildings, emphasizing the historical and cultural assets. Both cultural and natural landscapes equally captivate tourists. (2) The canal’s tourism image perception follows a “garden-history-canal” hierarchy with the canal as the central space and history expanding its tourism features. (3) The perceptions can be categorized into historical and cultural landscapes, man-made projects, and attraction perception. Despite varying tourist numbers in Huaian and Yangzhou, scenic spot experiences are similar. The overall perception of tourists is largely positive, but some express concerns about service attitudes and travel time planning.

Preliminary Study on The Characteristics of Effluent From A Cachoeiro de Itapemirim – ES and Analysis of Possible Biotechnological Treatments
Authors: Quinteiro Diogo Silva , Silva Núbia Pereira , Ferreira Hugo Leite , Amaral Bruno de Oliveira , Vitório Camile , Cereza Valquiria Cruz , Babisk Michelle Pereira , Tabelini Diego Borges
Published: October 2024

Purpose: The objective of this research was to organize and evaluate physical-chemical parameters of the industrial dairy effluent and to propose viable alternative treatments using biotechnological methods, aiming not only to prepare the effluent for disposal but also to generate value-added products
 
Theoretical framework: With the growth of the population, the food industry sector expands exponentially. Brazil ranks among the top five milk producers globally, with the dairy industry being a significant producer of effluent, generating between 1.1 m³ and 6.8 m³ of effluent per cubic meter of processed milk. Dairy wastewater carries a high pollutant load and requires treatment prior to discharge into water bodies. There is an increasing demand for converting waste into raw materials, prompting research into biotechnological treatments that not only prepare effluent for disposal but also yield products from such waste.
 
Method/design/approach: The data on wastewater characteristics were provided by the dairy itself, and the physicochemical aspects of the effluents over 19 months were interpreted, establishing relationships among key parameters, as well as the ratios BOD/COD, BOD: N and COD: N. The survey of biotechnological treatments was conducted through bibliographic research on Google Scholar, Scielo, Web of Science, and Scopus databases.
 
Results and conclusion: Through the analysis and correlations of the physicochemical characteristics of effluents from the Cachoeiro dairy, it is evident that this type of effluent is rich in low biodegradability organic matter, as the BOD5/COD ratio was less than 0.15 in over 79% of the samples, indicating that physical-chemical treatment is the most appropriate approach for this effluent. The linear correlation coefficient between BOD5 and COD was 0.6, suggesting a weak correlation that does not allow one parameter to be accurately predicted from the other. According to the literature, it is possible to derive biofuels, bioplastics, single cell protein, organic acids, polysaccharides, biosurfactants, and other products from dairy effluent, while also meeting environmental requirements
 
Research implications: Evaluation of optimal treatments based on effluent characteristics and suggestion of alternative treatments aiming to utilize wastewater as a raw material for obtaining secondary products complementary to the industry's focus, in addition to compliance with current disposal regulations.
 
Originality/value: Development of relationships to assist in evaluating effluent treatments and identification of treatments that can reuse this substantial volume of generated waste.

Published: October 2024

Objectives: This study explores the key factors influencing women’s leadership performance in crisis situations, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. It aims to identify the most dominant factors affecting women's leadership in regional governments in North Sulawesi, Indonesia.
 
Theoretical Framework: The research builds on theories of leadership and gender, incorporating concepts from human resource management and performance analysis. Women's leadership is viewed through the lens of gendered leadership styles, organizational behavior, and crisis management.
 
Method: A mixed-method approach was used, combining quantitative and qualitative methods. Quantitative data was collected through surveys distributed to 147 women in leadership positions across three regional governments, followed by qualitative interviews with key informants. Data was analyzed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to identify dominant leadership factors.
 
Results and Discussion: The findings revealed 12 key factors influencing women's leadership performance, including motivation, organizational infrastructure, work atmosphere, problem-solving abilities, and interpersonal relationships. The study highlights the importance of collaborative leadership, communication, and fairness in performance evaluations. Women leaders were found to emphasize nurturing and interpersonal relationships more than male leaders, reflecting gender-based leadership styles.
 
Research Implications: The study contributes to understanding gender-specific leadership during crises, emphasizing the need for supportive organizational structures and inclusive policies. The findings also suggest that women's leadership, with its focus on collaboration and care, plays a significant role in effectively managing crises.
 
Originality/Value: This research provides a novel contribution by focusing on women leaders in sub-national units during a global crisis, highlighting the distinct leadership strategies employed by women. It adds value by identifying factors that enhance women's leadership performance in crisis management, which has been underexplored in previous research.
“Unspoken Understanding”: The Evolution of Chinese American Adoption Communities
Authors: Abruzzo Annie
Published: October 2024

While scholarly work on adoption, transnational adoption, and specifically international adoption from China has been robust, it has tended to focus on studying parents and parenting. This paper analyzes the resources used by both parents and children to discuss race, culture, and adoption, and seeks to understand the effects of these parenting strategies on Chinese American adoptees, who have begun to reach young adulthood in the last ten years. Examination of the recent growth of adoptee communities reveals that a shared and complex adoptee identity is a more powerful nexus than shared Chineseness.
The Identity Crisis in China’s National Drama: Vilification and Erasure of the Homosexuality of the Dan in Peking Opera, 1910–45
Authors: Lu Xiaoyao
Published: October 2024

The homosexuality of male dan actors — female impersonators — in the renowned Peking Opera has long been the subject of tabloid speculation and intellectual criticism since the 19th century, and yet little is said about it in modern-day China. While scholars have ascribed the cause of this change in perceptions of dan homosexuality to events of 1910–20s, including the work of Mei Lanfang, domestic political and economic change, and Japanese influence, I argue that Western and Soviet influence spanning from 1910–45 was the driving factor behind the vilification and heterosexualisation of dan actors. I show the absence of homophobic stigma surrounding dan actors in fin-de-siècle China, before the introduction of Western ideas by the New Culture Movement. I then illustrate how the New Culture Movement’s import of Western sexology (1910–35) created homophobia and vilification toward dan actors. Finally, I examine how American and Soviet praise for dan actors (1930–35) was connected with the immediately subsequent heterosexualisation of dan actors in Chinese literature (1935–45) by showing that these new writings incorporated the rhetoric of American and Soviet commentary of dan to deny their homosexuality.
The Re-Establishment of the British Navy on Lake Erie, 1814-1834
Authors: Malcomson Thomas
Published: October 2024

At the conclusion of the War of 1812 the British navy needed to establish a new naval yard on the upper Great Lakes. Penetanguishene became the site for the main establishment, but its isolated location off of Georgian Bay necessitated a naval depot on Lake Erie where the British squadron was anticipated to spend much of its time. This paper examines the selection process resulting in choosing the mouth of the Grand River as the best location from among a less than optimum set of options for the naval dockyard. Elements such as depth of water, the ease of entering the space, what shelter from weather the land provided, the ease of fortifying the area, location of the navy yard along the shore and the site for ship building had to be considered. The convenience of the supporting supply line and its accessibility to enemy incursions were two further points in the decision-making exercise. The life of the naval establishment from conception through its closing in 1834 is described in light of British economic, military defence decisions, and British-American diplomatic agreements.
À la fin de la guerre de 1812, la marine britannique devait établir un nouveau chantier naval sur la partie supérieure des Grands Lacs. Penetanguishene est devenu le site du principal établissement, mais son emplacement isolé au large de la baie Georgienne a nécessité un dépôt naval sur le lac Érié où l’escadron britannique devait passer la majeure partie de son temps. Cet article examine le processus de selection qui a abouti au choix de l’embouchure de la rivière Grand comme meilleur emplacement parmi un ensemble d’options loin d’être optimales pour le chantier naval. Des éléments tels que la profondeur de l’eau, la facilité d’accès à l’espace, l’abri offert par le terrain contre les intempéries, la facilité de fortification de la zone, l’emplacement du chantier naval le long du rivage et le site de construction navale devaient être pris en compte. La commodité de la ligne de ravitaillement de soutien et son accessibilité aux incursions ennemies étaient deux autres points de l’exercice de prise de décision. La vie de l’établissement naval, depuis sa conception jusqu’à sa fermeture en 1834, est décrite à la lumière des decisions britanniques en matière de défense économique, militaire et des accords diplomatiques anglo-américains.
Building Systems Integration Capabilities: The Role of the Royal Netherlands Navy in Constructing and Innovating Warships, 1945-2024
Authors: Te Kulve Haico , Smit Wim A.
Published: October 2024

This paper examines how the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN) dealt with the restoration of a sizeable domestic industry capable of constructing and designing complex warships since the end of WWII. Given the relatively small size of the country and the high speed of naval technological change since 1945, the restoration was not self-evident, certainly not because of the ruined state of that industry. We argue that the development of systems integration capabilities played a key role in the restoration. By zooming in on the strategies of the Navy to support the development of systems integration capabilities we seek to understand how the Dutch naval sector developed since 1945. We show that the ability of the Navy to support the acquisition and maintenance of systems integration capabilities depended on both domestic and international political and commercial dynamics and that systems integration capabilities could also be lost.
Le présent article analyse les efforts déployés par la Marine royale néerlandaise pour restaurer une industrie nationale importante capable de concevoir et de construire des navires de guerre complexes depuis la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Compte tenu de la taille relativement petite du pays et de l’évolution rapide des changements technologiques navals depuis 1945, la restauration n’allait pas aller de soi, notamment parce que l’industrie avait été laissée en ruines. Nous soutenons que le développement des capacités d’intégration des systèmes a joué un rôle clé dans la restauration. En mettant l’accent sur les stratégies de la Marine visant à appuyer le développement des capacités d’intégration des systèmes, nous cherchons à comprendre comment le secteur naval néerlandais s’est développé depuis 1945. Nous indiquons que les habiletés de la Marine à favoriser l’acquisition et la maintenance des capacités d’intégration des systèmes dépendait de la dynamique politique et commerciale sur le plan national et international et que les capacités d’intégration des systèmes pouvaient également se perdre.
The Singapore Maritime Trade Protection Strategy: 1921 and 2023
Authors: Bailey Mark
Published: October 2024

Current historiography of the rebalancing of the British Empire’s global strategy in the 1920s is incomplete. Their strategy was built on protecting Imperial global maritime trade, itself based on returning global mobility to the fleet and building a fleet base at Singapore to block Japanese fleet entry into the Empire’s demographic heartland of the Indian Ocean. This was a Corbettian seapower strategy, now obscured by the events of 1941-42. This article examines the nature of the Singapore strategy as it was developed to allow a new oil-fired fleet to operate as globally as the pre-war coal-fired fleet. 
L’historiographie actuelle du rééquilibrage de la stratégie mondiale de l’Empire britannique dans les années 1920 est incomplète. Cette stratégie reposait sur la protection du commerce maritime mondial impérial, lui-même fondé sur le rétablissement de la mobilité de l’escadre à l’échelle mondiale et la construction à Singapour d’une base pour l’escadre visant à bloquer l’entrée de l’escadre japonais au cœur démographique de l’Empire de l’océan Indien. Il s’agissait d’une stratégie corbettienne en matière de puissance maritime, ayant été depuis éclipsée par les événements de 1941-1942. Le présent article porte sur la nature de la stratégie de Singapour telle qu’elle a été élaborée pour permettre à un nouvel escadre alimenté au mazout d’exercer ses activités à l’échelle mondiale tout comme le faisait l’escadre alimenté au charbon d’avant la guerre.

The previous step to be able to carry out a complete and reliable inferential statistical analysis of the data collected in a research is the execution of a correct and exhaustive descriptive statistical analysis. At this stage, we understand the main characteristics of our sample, which allows us to address the complete description of the sample in our research work and, in addition, offers us a first approximation of the variables in which there could be differences depending on others. It is only an approximation. Subsequently, a statistical inferential test will have to say whether statistically speaking they exist or not. This paper presents the main descriptive statistics and their corresponding graphs depending on the type of variable, as well as their calculation and representation using the free statistical software jamovi, a powerful free tool that does not require advanced programming knowledge.
Resumen
El paso previo para poder realizar un análisis estadístico inferencial completo y fiable de los datos recolectados en una investigación es la ejecución de un correcto y exhaustivo análisis estadístico descriptivo. En esta etapa, comprendemos las principales características de nuestra muestra, lo que nos permite abordar la descripción completa de la misma en nuestro trabajo de investigación y, además, nos ofrece una primera aproximación sobre las variables en las que podría haber diferencias en función de otras. Solo es una aproximación. Posteriormente, una prueba estadística inferencial tendrá que decir si, estadísticamente hablando, existen o no. En este trabajo se presentan los principales estadísticos descriptivos y sus correspondientes gráficos en función del tipo de variable, así como su cálculo y representación a través del software estadístico libre jamovi, como potente herramienta gratuita que no requiere de un conocimiento previo avanzado en programación.
Physical activity levels and mathematical performance. Research in a Primary Education school [Niveles de actividad física y rendimiento matemático. Análisis en un mismo centro educativo de Educación Primaria]

Authors: García Jiménez José Vicente
Published: October 2024

The aim of this paper is to investigate the correlation between physical activity levels and mathematical performance in students from same primary education school. This research was a descriptive, non-experimental, quantitative study, with the participation of 120 children (67 boys and 53 girls), aged between 8 and 12 years old. After applying The Assessment of Physical Activity Levels Questionnaire (APALQ), maths scores from third to sixth grade students were assessed, analysing data according to their physical activity level: sedentary or active. Active students achieved higher scores in mathematics (7.92±1.16 compared to 7.72±1.42), although this difference was not significant (p>0.05) and the correlation was weak (r=0.184). According to gender, mean academic performance among active males was statistically greater than their sedentary peers (8.24±1.64 vs. 7.12±1.12; p=0.045). For girls, this result was inverse. To conclude, higher levels of physical activity are positively associated with better mathematical performance in the analysed students.
Resumen
El objetivo de este trabajo es investigar la correlación entre los niveles de actividad física y la nota en matemáticas en alumnos de un mismo centro de educación primaria. La presente investigación parte de un estudio descriptivo, no experimental, cuantitativo, con la participación de 120 niños (67 niños y 53 niñas), con edades comprendidas entre los 8 y 12 años. Tras aplicar el Cuestionario de Evaluación de los Niveles de Actividad Física (APALQ), se evaluaron las puntuaciones en matemáticas de los alumnos de tercero a sexto de primaria, analizando los datos en función de su nivel de actividad física: sedentarios o activos. Los alumnos activos obtuvieron puntuaciones más altas en matemáticas (7,92±1,16 frente a 7,72±1,42), aunque esta diferencia no fue significativa (p>0,05) y la correlación fue débil (r=0,184). En función del género, el rendimiento académico medio entre los chicos activos fue estadísticamente superior al de sus compañeros sedentarios. (8,24±1,64 vs 7,12±1,12; p=0,045). En el caso de las chicas, este resultado fue inverso. Este trabajo concluye que mayores niveles de actividad física se asocian positivamente con un mejor rendimiento en matemáticas en los estudiantes analizados.

The present study numerically investigates the three-dimensional forced and mixed convection heat transfer in an inclined Taylor–Couette system ([Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]) submitted to a radial temperature gradient. The main objective of this study is to determine the effect of the angle inclination duct on the thermal and dynamic fields. Several cases have been dealt with depending on the inclination angle to detect the critical Reynolds number in each case. The model of the conservation equations with their boundary conditions is numerically solved by the finite volume method with a second-order spatiotemporal discretization. The results show that, in forced convection, the effect of the inclination angle is inexistent on the velocity field. However, with the presence of buoyancy effects, which impact flow stability and the transition to turbulence, the inclination influences both velocity and temperature fields. It also shows that selecting the vertical position of the annulus is preferable to obtain hydrodynamic stability in mixed convection. At the same time, from the thermal point of view, it is preferable to select the horizontal position to get dynamic and thermal stability.
