O uso do humor nas campanhas políticas brasileiras: Cultura Visual, Gênero, Educação e Memes
Authors: Moraes Bernardo Kauane , Baliscei João Paulo
Published: September 2024

Quando examinamos as imagens compartilhadas nas eleições, por candidatos/as e seus/as apoiadores/as, somos, também, convidados a pensar sobre a cultura visual resultante desse contexto e sobre quais narrativas, discursos e estereótipos são criados no uso dessas imagens. Neste artigo, partimos do pressuposto de que essas narrativas ensinam, de forma direta ou indireta, como um/a candidato/a deve se portar para que seja considerado/a um/a “bom político”. Para isso, recorrem ao humor e à abjeção, dentre outras estratégias. Como, visualmente, qualifica-se um/a candidato/a a partir da cultura visual contemporânea? O objetivo do artigo é analisar memes das eleições para presidente, em 2022, divulgados por candidatos/as e apoiadores/as, investigando as narrativas que esses elementos visuais criam. Para tanto, elaboramos esta pesquisa a partir dos Estudos de Gênero e dos Estudos da Cultura Visual.

Simulation of the dose rate of building materials γ-radiation in the premises of different designs has revealed the minimal levels of human exposure. It was determined that the exposure dose rate at the given points of a single room depends on the content of natural radionuclides in construction materials and the changing geometry of a person's exposure in the premises. When the exposure dose rate of γ-radiation above an individual plate is determined, it is conventionally divided into the discrete sources, the dose rate from several plates is summed up. It is shown that near a vertical wall with a uniform content of natural radionuclides the exposure dose is higher where the wall is thicker. When radiation is emitted from the floor of a certain thickness, a maximum exposure dose rate occurs, which becomes greater when the layer of half attenuation of the material increases. The exposure dose rate also increases in the corners of the room: the higher the room the greater the dose rate. The results obtained predict the doses of human exposure at various points of the room, which determines the conditions for a person’s existence and the support staff work, the rational arrangement of workplaces and machinery, and the optimization of the operating modes of precision equipment.

Published: September 2024

The article examines the methodology for determining the Sludge Biotic Index (SBI) to assess the quality of activated sludge at treatment plants. The Sludge Biotic Index is a tool for quantitatively evaluating the functionality of sludge, allowing for monitoring and detection of critical conditions that may affect the quality of wastewater treatment. The determination of SBI is based on the analysis of the microfauna of activated sludge, where organisms are grouped into positive and negative key groups depending on their impact on the treatment process. The methodology allows for comparisons between different treatment facilities and identifying exceedances of discharge limits. Experimental studies were conducted at wastewater treatment facilities in Kharkiv. Samples of sludge were collected over several months, allowing for the investigation of changes in sludge quality over time. It was established that using the SBI allows for determining the degree of stability of activated sludge, as well as identifying adverse phenomena such as sludge bulking, which can lead to a decrease in treatment efficiency. The results of the studies confirm that the application of the SBI contributes to improving control and optimizing the biological water treatment process, which is especially important for the preservation of natural water resources. The obtained data indicate the high effectiveness of using the biotic index for monitoring the condition of activated sludge, allowing timely measures to be taken to improve wastewater treatment quality. This confirms the feasibility of implementing European methodologies in the management practices of treatment facilities in Ukraine.
GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS AND THEIR IMPLEMENTATION IN UKRAINE
Authors:   Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture, Savchenko Antonina
Published: September 2024

Today, one of the most discussed topics among builders is the post-war reconstruction of the country using the principles of green construction. Ever since the conclusion of the Association Agreement with the EU, Ukraine has been actively implementing EU environmental standards into national legislation. The threat posed by the war to the environment resembles an iceberg, because most of the negative consequences are hidden and will manifest themselves decades after the end of the war. That is why right now, we have to make maximum efforts to reduce the negative impact of man and his activities on the surrounding natural environment. Application of environmental standards in construction will make it possible to minimize the impact of the industry. For this purpose, we conduct an analysis of advanced BREEAM, LEED, DGNB systems. Each of the standards has its own characteristics and their application in the conditions of Ukraine has its pros and cons. Standards are one of the tools for the implementation of state policy, belong to the category of "normative document" (ND) and establish uniform rules, requirements, methods of control and testing, marking. Despite the intensive implementation of EU environmental standards in the legislation of Ukraine, there is still no legally established requirement for the certification of buildings according to a specific "green construction" standard. The development of own national standards is a significant step towards the introduction of green building standards in Ukraine.
Gen Z Students and Their Perceptions of Technology in the Process of Second Language Acquisition Based on the Language Proficiency Level
Authors: Ivenz Petra , Polakova Petra
Published: September 2024

This paper explores the perceptions of Gen Z students at different levels of English proficiency regarding the use of technology, particularly Neural Machine Translation (NMT) and ChatGPT, in second language acquisition. The research aims to understand how these technologies influence language learning and identify how these tools are used across varying proficiency levels. The significance of the study lies in its potential to inform educators and highlight the role of using technologies in language learning. Based on data collected from a survey of 151 students (ranging from A2 to C2 proficiency levels), the findings indicate that students across all proficiency levels actively engage with NMT and ChatGPT. Across all proficiency levels, NMT and ChatGPT are used primarily for word translation. However, higher proficiency students use ChatGPT for complex tasks (such as mistake correction or summary writing). Moreover, the study emphasizes the positive attitudes of Gen Z learners toward technology as a flexible and valuable educational resource. The motivation to use technology stems from the desire to learn new vocabulary, comprehend English content, and enjoy flexible learning. Therefore, the study recommends that educators adapt teaching strategies to include these technologies, considering the different proficiency levels of students. Future research should focus on the long-term impacts of technology use on language acquisition.

Ein Blick in die Literatur zeigt, dass sich der Großteil auf die Treibhausgasemissionen des Verkehrs, d.h. seine ökologische Nachhaltigkeit, konzentriert. Es wird jedoch wenig über die wirtschaftliche - und noch weniger über die soziale - Nachhaltigkeit des Verkehrs gesagt. Es ist besser, das umfassendere Konzept der Nachhaltigkeit zu betrachten, um die Chancen, Probleme und nachhaltigen Lösungen des Verkehrssektors auf komplexe Weise zu berücksichtigen.
Für die Verwirklichung eines nachhaltigen Nahverkehrs ist es wichtig, dass die Menschen den öffentlichen Nahverkehr anstelle des privaten Pkw nutzen. Solange jedoch bei der Gestaltung und Organisation des Nahverkehrs - meist aufgrund politischer Empfindlichkeiten - die komplexen Nachhaltigkeitsaspekte Fahrzeiten, Zugänglichkeit, Sicherheit, erschwingliche Preise und Wahrnehmung des öffentlichen Verkehrs nicht berücksichtigt werden, werden die Bemühungen nicht die gewünschten Ziele erreichen.
Die Studie zielt nicht darauf ab, einen umfassenden Überblick über Nachhaltigkeit zu geben, sondern lediglich einige Aspekte der Nachhaltigkeit im Bereich des öffentlichen Verkehrs durch eine Analyse der nationalen und internationalen Literatur zu beleuchten.
Development of object-oriented physics learning model to promote data literacy in physics instructional

Published: September 2024

Data literacy is an important skill for students in studying physics. With data literacy, students have the ability to collect, analyze and interpret data as well as construct data-based scientific explanations and reasoning. However, students’ ability to data literacy is still not satisfactory. On the other hand, various learning strategies still provide opportunities to design learning models that are more directed at data literacy skills. For this reason, in this research a physics learning model was developed that is oriented towards physics objects represented in various modes and is called the Object-Oriented Physics Learning (OOPL) Model. The learning model was developed through several stages and based on the results of the validity analysis; it shows that the OOPL model is included in the valid category. The OOPL model fulfils the elements of content validity and construct validity. The validity of the OOPL model and its implications are discussed in detail in the discussion.

Published: September 2024

The effect of N-1-naphthylphthalamic acid (NPA, 5.0%, w/w in lanolin) on the growth of Solidago canadensis (Canadian goldenrod) stem was studied, focusing on histological analyses, comprehensive analyses of phytohormones and polar metabolites. NPA substantially induced stem swelling at and above the application site and stimulated vascular cambium activity around the area of its application. The cambial zone in the swelling part of the stem was twice as wide as that treated with lanolin only (control). The proliferation of cambial cells increased xylem production and, consequently, vascular bundle thickness. A significant enlargement of parenchymatous pith cells and an increased diameter of the pith were also observed. Comprehensive phytohormone analyses revealed that NPA increased the content of indole-3-propionic acid, indole-3-acetic acid, and indole-3-acetyl-aspartic acid in the swelling part of the stem, as well as trans-zeatin riboside. These results suggest that NPA-induced stem swelling depends on the dynamics of changes in aux-in and cytokinin metabolites. Furthermore, the contents of monosaccharides (glucose, fructose and galactose) as well as malic, succinic, fumaric acids, cyclitols and quinic acid derivatives in-creased markedly in the swelling stem. This may indicate that the site of NPA-induced stem swell-ing is a physiological sink for polar metabolites needed for the growth of this tissue. Thus, it seems that auxins, in interaction with cytokinins, regulate the strength of the sink, controlling the transport of polar metabolites into the swelling part of S. canadensis stem.

Published: September 2024

Tank goby Glossogobius giuris is widely distributed across Vietnamese rivers, estuaries, and lagoons, particularly in the central region where this species plays a pivotal role as a high commercial source for local communities. In this study, we employed landmark-based geometric morphometrics to compare the morphometric variations among three distinct populations of G. giuris inhabiting the Tam Giang Lagoon (Thua Thien Hue Province), Nhat Le Estuary (Quang Binh Province), and Truong Giang River (Quang Nam Province), Vietnam. The analysis, utilizing Permutational Multivariate Analysis of Variance (PERMANOVA) with Mahalanobis distances, revealed significant differences in the body shape among the three populations (P < 0.001). Specifically, with respect to the lateral side, the highest Mahalanobis distance was observed between specimens from the Tam Giang and Nhat Le, followed by the Tam Giang and Truong Giang River, with the lowest value found between the Nhat Le and Truong Giang. A similar pattern was observed for the dorsal side. Canonical variate analysis (CVA) illustrated three distinct groups with statistical significance in all cases (P < 0.001) and the confusion matrix showed a high corrected grouping rate of 88.5% for the lateral side and 82.8% for the dorsal side. These findings indicated notable variations in the body shape of G. giuris among the three studied areas. Fish sampled from the Tam Giang Lagoon exhibited a streamlined body shape, while those from the Truong Giang River and Nhat Le Estuary displayed a deeper body profile. The observed morphological differences among these fish populations are likely attributed to phenotypic adaptations driven by environmental factors and habitat distinctions. Importantly, this study marks the first attempt to compare the body shape variations of G. giuris in both freshwater and estuarine environments within central Vietnam, utilizing a landmark-based geometric approach. These findings provide crucial insights for further investigations into the ecological adaptations and evolutionary processes of this fish species.

Geo-societal More-than-Humanness
Authors: Bohle Martin
Published: September 2024

Natural sciences paradigms guide this essay’s perspectives. Given the complex-adaptive dynamics of the Earth System, cultures are drivers and prompts of human and natural (sub)systems, respectively. The essay combines geo-philosophical thought and Semiotic Cultural Psychological Theory to depict an ideal-typic narrative of people’s sensemaking culture as an intrinsic part of the Earth System. Generic characteristics of marine operations (e.g., mining at the seabed) illustrate the description. The essay claims that human culture is an attribute of the Earth System, i.e., the nexus that ties human socio-cultural domains and planetary technosphere, biosphere and geosphere, and that more-than-humanness is one of the nexus’ attributes.
The physics of meaning: More than inhuman?
Authors: Hartley John
Published: September 2024

The ambition of this paper is to say that if “cultural science” accepts the need to rethink culture along scientific rather than just critical lines, then at the same time physics must rethink its own commitment to “culture-free” methodology. That has only yielded what we might call “meaningless universe theory,” without addressing ways that physics as a discourse is strongly marked by culture, with the usual signs of gender, race, and hegemony present in its methods. It needs to take responsibility for applications of its discoveries that enter the cultural sphere only to threaten its total annihilation. An alternative to meaninglessness might be to take more seriously the marginalized and derided cultures of everyday thinking, as is attempted by Bogna Konior, and for physics-as-a-discipline to join the effort to reform science. If self-criticism is good for the cultural goose, then it’s good for the scientific gander; and a “cultural science” should say so. Since physics is the most scientific and least cultural of the sciences, this paper uses it as a limit case of knowledge realism. I argue that a science of culture requires reform of the ideology and applications of science as well as new models of culture.
How nonhumans are included in relationships
Authors: Trosper Ronald L.
Published: September 2024

Although the cultures of Indigenous peoples vary greatly, most emphasize two features in their world views. They believe relationships are fundamental and that relationships exist when all conscious entities interact. To establish good relationships, the participants treat each other well and try to understand each other. Because consciousness extends to nonhumans, good relationships require including them. The essay describes six rules that are followed by those who wish to create and maintain good strong relationships, with examples of applying the rules both among humans and among humans and nonhumans. It concludes by briefly describing qualities of good relationships and why these qualities, such as trust and equity, matter. Good relationships support biodiversity and ecosystem productivity.
Embeddings
Authors: Potts Jason
Published: September 2024

I argue here that the concept of embedding (understood in the mathematical and computer science sense) provides a general way of understanding the relation between generative AI, written language and semiotics, and animal cognition when understood recursively. I propose this framing as an application of cultural science and suggest that this offers a new way to understand the alignment problem between humans and increasingly intelligent machines.
Non-human animal cultures, co-cultures and conservation
Authors: Sueur Cedric
Published: September 2024

Animal culture involves the transmission of behaviours through social learning, which plays a crucial role in species’ survival and adaptability to changing environments. Co-cultures, which describe the mutual cultural evolution between species, underscore the importance of interspecies interactions in maintaining ecological balance and resilience. The loss of these cultural practices can lead to a decline in population viability, reduced genetic diversity, and destabilised ecosystems, ultimately impacting the services these ecosystems provide to human health and well-being. The preservation of cultural traits is essential for maintaining biodiversity, ensuring species’ adaptive capacities, and supporting the overall health of ecosystems, which are critical for the survival of both non-human animals and humans. Integrating the conservation of animal cultures and co-cultures into broader conservation and One Health strategies is necessary to protect the delicate balance of life on Earth and ensure the well-being of all species.
CHARACTERISTICS OF FLY ASH CEMENT PASTE AS AN ALTERNATIVE SUSTAINABLE MATERIAL FOR BALINESE ARCHITECTURAL ORNAMENTS
Authors: Agustini Ni Komang Ayu , Yujana Cok Agung , Aryastana Putu , Darmawan Gede Surya
Published: September 2024

In Bali, the demand for ornament architecture material especially natural stone is still high. The problem is the availability of material sources especially the stones is very limited. It   is necessary to study alternative environmental materials that can be used as Balinese architectural ornaments. This study aims to understand the feasibility of fly ash cement paste as an alternative material based on their properties such as bulk density and compressive strength.  The material composition in this research consists of cement, fly ash, fiber, superplasticizer, and water. The binder composition is a ratio of 1 cement: 2 fly ash. The water and binder ratio is fixed at 0.35. The variation in the materials was varied according to (i) fiber (0.05%, 0.025%, and 0.01%) and (ii) superplasticizer (0.1% and 0.05%). The mixture composition was determined using the absolute volume method. All samples were mixed according to ASTM C305. The mechanical strength of the material was tested according to ASTM C109 (2002) using 50 mm cube specimens.  The highest compressive strength occurred when 0.1% SP and 0.025% fiber were mixed in the mixture. Based on the result, the fly ash-cement paste has a higher strength compared with other stones while having a similar bulk density. Basalt stone, a popular ornamental architectural material in Bali, has a compressive strength of 19.42 MPa, which is 44% lower than the fly ash-cement paste mixture. Andesite stone has a better compressive strength than basalt stone but a lower compressive strength by around 29% than fly ash cement paste material. Fly ash cement paste has a similar bulk density to red brick and andesite stone. Sandstone has the lowest compressive strength, about 3.87 MPa. The temple with fly ash-cement material is brownish in color. This is due to the fact that the color of fly ash dominates the proportion. When compared to other stone materials such as basalt stone, andesite stone, and red brick, fly ash cement has the highest compressive strength and the lowest price.

This research aims to examine the relationship between Job satisfaction, Work-Life Balance , and emotional exhaustion among outsourcing employees of PT Kharisma Duta Anggada in Denpasar. The sample consists of 78 employees selected using a non-probability sampling method with a saturation sampling technique. The data collection methods employed in this study are interviews and the distribution of questionnaires. The analytical technique utilized is Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on Partial Least Square (PLS). The research findings indicate that Work-Life Balance  has a positive and significant impact on Job satisfaction, Work-Life Balance  negatively and significantly affects emotional exhaustion, emotional exhaustion has a negative and significant influence on Job satisfaction, and emotional exhaustion mediates the effect of Work-Life Balance  on Job satisfaction. This suggests that employees who perceive a balance between work and family tend to experience lower emotional exhaustion, leading to increased Job satisfaction. This research is expected to serve as a reference for managerial decision-making and provide insights for PT Kharisma Duta Anggada in Denpasar or similar companies to prioritize employee Job satisfaction by allowing employees to take leave to attend to their personal lives or interests, thereby reducing emotional exhaustion and enhancing overall Job satisfaction.

The article presents the results of the study of the textual connector odno delo ‒ drugoe delo serving as a means of communication both in a sentence and in a text. It is stated that the connector has a significant number of contextual modifications of the structure, but all varieties have the same semantics and common functions. The textual connector odno delo ‒ drugoe delo possesses a structure similar to two-place conjunctions and forms comparative relations within a sentence or text. In addition, as a textual means of connection, it introduces a text fragment justifying the reason or revealing the content of the preceding part of the text.

Russian literature is inextricably linked with Christian tradition. The patterns and types of the Bible are rooted in consciousness and enable the writers to find the source of artistic models in it. The biblical background is often an integral part of Alexei Varlamov’s works. The novels related to the tradition of hagiographical schools are “The Sunken Ark”, “The Star” and “The Angel”. The elements of life are integrated into the author’s prose in different ways, allowing to expand the semantic tone and clarify the author’s spiritual pursuit.

The article, based on the material of song folklore and original poetry of Siberia and the Russian Far East during the Civil War, examines for the first time the evolution of traditional ideas about share, happiness, and destiny. Features of the implementation and functioning of the designated motives are revealed. Conclusions are drawn that ideas about share, happiness, and fate are partly in accordance with the traditional worldview; the differences are associated both with the peculiarities of the changing worldview, transmitted in late traditional folklore and original poetry of the early twentieth century, and with the specifics of the song genre.
Ecofriendly Synthesis of ZnO Nanoparticles using Zingiber Officinale and Syzygium Aromaticum Extracts for Antibacterial Applications
Authors: Tuama M. J. , Alias M. F. A.
Published: September 2024

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs)  were prepared by green method using Zingiber officinale (G-ZnO) and Syzygium aromaticum extract (S-ZnO). X-ray diffraction (XRD) investigations revealed that ZnO NPs have wurtzite hexagonal structures in extracts of Zingiber officinale and Syzygium aromaticum, with average crystal sizes of about 38.49 nm and 27.66 nm,   respectively. FTIR was performed to investigate the nature of functional groups in the active compounds responsible for the formation of ZnO NPs. The diffuse reflection spectroscopy (DRS) showed the direct bandgap energy of the as-prepared nanoparticles. The zinc oxide sample composition and purity  were confirmed using energy dispersive  X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The morphological properties of ZnO NPs prepared from both plants were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). G-ZnO and S-ZnO nanoparticles appeared agglomerated of triangular, spherical and various other shapes, respectively. The average size of nanoparticles for  G-ZnO and S-ZnO NPs were  26.92 nm and 62.45 nm, respectively. In addition, the as-prepared ZnO NPs showed significant bactericidal effects against gram-positive and gram-negative pathogenic bacteria.

In this work, the glow spectrum from a neon strip lamp, used in homes and all private places, was diagnosed using optical emission spectroscopy (OES), to measure plasma parameters from spectral data (electrons density, electrons temperature, plasma frequency, Debye length). The intensity of the emission spectrum increases with increasing the applied voltage (100-220V). A spectral diagnosis was made of the cold plasma generated by the neon glow system where the glow spectrum produced was prepared for the diagnosis at variable alternating voltages that begin to rise gradually. The diagnosis was made at atmospheric pressure and room temperature of 27 ̊C. The results showed a gradual increase in the intensity of the neon spectrum generated by the system with the amount of gradual increase in the applied voltage. Between (250-850) nm, the behavior of neon spectral lines varied between high and low spectral intensity peaks.

In this research, the radon gas concentration was measured for samples from the water of the Euphrates River in the Hindia district of Karbala governorate. The selected collection locations were 30 different local ones on the river between the ancient and modern bridges, heading north and south, respectively; the distance between locations was 100 meters. The concentrations and effective dose of radon were measured using the RAD7 device technology. The highest value was for sample 21, where the effective dose was (0.00001752 Bq/m3). The same value for the effective dose was of sample 7. The lowest value was in sample 27, where the effective dose was (0 Bq/m3), the same value of sample 3. It was observed from the study that the remaining values of the samples ranged from sample 1 as the lowest value of the effective dose (0.0799 Bq/m3) and also for sample 2 and sample 15. The highest value was for samples 29 and 23, where the value of the effective dose was (0.00001314 Bq/m3). However, from observing the results, these values are within the internationally permissible limits according to the recommendations of   US Environmental Protection Agency, which is 11 Bq/ L.
