Relações entre discursos de gênero e experiências de aprendizagem da matemática na educação infantil e nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental: perspectivas docentes
Authors:   , Vianna Juliana de Oliveira Hessel
Published: September 2024

A presente pesquisa aborda a problemática do papel que os discursos de gênero desempenham nas experiências de aprendizagem de um componente curricular específico: a matemática. A literatura aponta que a diferença de desempenho em matemática entre os gêneros fica evidente nos Anos Finais do Ensino Fundamental e se consolida no Ensino Médio. Nesse marco, o estudo focaliza as docentes que atuam na primeira etapa da Educação Básica, indagando sobre suas perspectivas em relação à temática e sobre como suas práticas docentes podem contribuir para (re)produzir os discursos de gênero nas aulas de matemática. Tem, como objetivos, descrever as relações (re)produzidas entre os discursos de gênero e as experiências de aprendizagem da matemática por professoras da Educação Infantil e dos Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental, participantes de um grupo focal; e compreender, na perspectiva das participantes, as possibilidades de promover a equidade de gênero no ensino da matemática. A pesquisa adota uma metodologia qualitativa de natureza exploratória. A coleta de dados foi realizada através de quatro encontros de um grupo focal, constituído por professoras dos primeiros anos do Ensino Fundamental e do último ano da Educação Infantil, por meio de vídeo gravações dos encontros, registros das relatoras e diário de campo da pesquisadora. Os dados foram analisados, utilizando a Análise de Discurso como procedimento analítico. A análise revelou diversos discursos de gênero (re)produzidos pelas docentes relacionados às experiências de aprendizagem da matemática. Dentre eles, foram atribuídos aos meninos uma maior afinidade e agilidade com a disciplina assim como um raciocínio lógico mais desenvolvido. Em contraste, as docentes não conseguiram atribuir características específicas para as meninas com bom desempenho na matemática. Os dados mostram, ademais, que as diferenças entre os gêneros no desempenho em matemática já começam a ser produzidas no início da Educação Básica. Contudo, tais diferenças parecem não ser tão demarcadas em relação com a matemática na Educação Infantil.
Políticas públicas de incentivo à leitura na história da educação infantil municipal de Sorocaba: 2014 a 2023
Authors:   , Chinelatto Leila Regina Oliveira
Published: September 2024

Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar como as politicas públicas podem contribuir para a formação de novos leitores, tendo em conta a contribuição fundamental da leitura e do livro no processo ensino-aprendizagem. Tem como objeto de estudo os projetos de leitura implantados pela Secretaria Municipal de Educação de Sorocaba/SP. Assim, retomou-se o processo histórico da educação infantil e a implantação dos primeiros parques infantis na cidade de Sorocaba; verificou-se de que maneira as vivências no ambiente escolar, as experiências leitoras desde a educação infantil repercutem na formação de leitores. A pesquisa é bibliográfica e documental com aporte teórico de Chartier (2002), Frago (1995), Freinet (1978), Freire (1989), Kishimoto (1988 ), Kramer (1987), Reyes (2010), Vygotsky (2006), Soares (2021), Zilbermam (1981), agregados a documentos oficiais e programas. Metodologicamente, a pesquisa é qualitativa, bibliográfica e documental, com base em fontes primárias, legislações e projetos. Os resultados mostram que a legislação brasileira voltada para a educação têm proposto muitas políticas, as quais são implementadas pelos munícipios, caso daquelas que buscam incentivar a leitura, como por exemplo, os projetos “Salas de leitura - novos olhares” e “Lugares de Ler”, implementados em Sorocaba. Contudo, os projetos, que se mostram exitosos, nem sempre têm continuidade, sendo abortados com justificativa de ajustes de orçamento. Isso faz com que os resultados esperados nem sempre sejam totalmente alcançados. Tendo em conta que as políticas públicas devem atender aos interesses da população, elas só terão êxito, quando elas conseguirem diminuir as desigualdades, quando elas tiverem continuidade e, principalmente, quando elas contemplarem a formação de professores mediadores e a distribuição de acervos, caso das voltadas para incentivar a leitura desde a educação infantil.
A formação e a capacitação docente e o transtorno do espectro autista na educação infantil: uma análise sobre a produção acadêmica de 2012 a 2022
Authors:   , Mondini Luciane Aparecida
Published: September 2024

Vinculada ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da Universidade de Sorocaba (PPGE-UNISO), a pesquisa analisa a produção acadêmica sobre a formação e a capacitação do docente que atua, em sala de aula regular, com alunos da Educação Infantil diagnosticados com Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA). O TEA põe diversas dificuldades ao desenvolvimento humano e, para amparar a pessoa com o diagnóstico, é necessário o comprometimento de inúmeros profissionais envolvidos com a educação, além da contribuição e empenho dos familiares dos alunos. Nesse contexto, para que o aluno com TEA desfrute de interação social, é importante uma escola inclusiva para desenvolver as habilidades que necessita vivenciar. Assim, o objetivo geral da pesquisa é levantar e analisar trabalhos acadêmicos produzidos entre 2012 e 2022 sobre a capacitação e a formação do docente para atuação na Educação Infantil com alunos diagnosticados com TEA. Para o alcance desse objetivo, no que tange à metodologia, foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico nas bases de dados Portal de Periódicos da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES), Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO) e na Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD). O levantamento mostra reduzido número de textos que abordam a formação dos docentes, de maneira abrangente, com foco na capacitação para prática com alunos diagnosticados com TEA. No entanto, nos textos analisados, percebe-se que tanto o sistema público quanto o particular de ensino são falhos na inclusão de alunos com deficiência nos bancos escolares, apresentando uma situação de despreparo dos docentes para atuar em sala de aula com alunos diagnosticados com TEA. Os sistemas demonstram dar pouco amparo financeiro para aprimorar e capacitar os docentes, tampouco para contratar profissionais especializados para auxiliar na atuação em sala de aula.

Authors: SAIDIN AMILIA , ADANAN SITI AZRINA , BUSTAMAM KHAIR SYAKIRA , ABDULLAH SANI A’IESHAH
Published: September 2024

In today's competitive job market, internships have become an integral component of higher education, particularly in professional fields such as accounting. It provides experiential learning opportunities bridging between academic theories and practical applications to allow students to gain firsthand experience and insight into their chosen careers. Recognizing the importance of internships in equipping students with the competencies needed, the study aims to explore the internship experience of accounting students relating to skills development and career prospects. The study further examines the impact of internship placement institutions on skills development, namely technical, functional, and soft skills, as well as future career prospects and incentives. Data were gathered using questionnaires distributed to accounting students who completed six-month internships across various institutions. The findings suggest that while accounting and audit firms enhance technical skills, other aspects of professional growth are not heavily dependent on the type of internship institution. This study offers valuable insights for policymakers, academic institutions, employers, and students, emphasizing the need for strategic internship placements to optimize accounting professional skills and better prepare students for the demands of the accounting profession

Nystrom methods and combination for solving the first-kind boundary integral equation
Authors: Li Yong-Zheng , Huang Le-Ming , Zheng Ke-Long
Published: September 2024

Based on the single-layer potential theory, the Laplace equation can be converted into the problem of the first-kind boundary integral equation (BIE1st). The kernel of BIE1st is characterized by the logarithmic singularity. In this paper, we investigate the Nystrom method for solving the BIE1st. The numerical solutions possess high accuracy order O(h3) and the combination of two kinds of Nystrom solutions has the same accuracy as the result with double grid. Furthermore, by the double power transformation, the proposed method can be used to deal with the problem on the non-smooth boundary and has the higher accuracy. The efficiency is illustrated by some examples.
Inflated Accounts: A History of Financial Reporting in an Age of Rapidly Changing Prices
Authors: Anderson Deborah A. , Flesher Dale L.
Published: September 2024

Inflation is a longstanding and difficult challenge for accounting theorists, practitioners, and standard setters. Historically, inflation accounting has been divisive, not only complex in terms of theory, but also time-sensitive and difficult to execute. High levels of inflation are predominantly epochal and temporary, but unlike past episodes of inflation, the 2021 resurgence of inflation in the United States has not resulted in a reprisal of interest in inflation accounting. In light of the current silence among constituents and accounting standard setters, this article revisits past efforts to address inflation within financial reporting to understand and contextualize the process, pitfalls, and outcomes of introducing an inflation standard. Particular attention is paid to the experimental SFAS 33. Despite earnest efforts and experimentation, agreement on a solution to resolve the challenge of accounting for inflation and changing prices remains evasive.

Entre as décadas de 50 e 60 do século 20, a cinematografia brasileira, a partir da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, produziu em massa e de forma sistemática a chanchada, baseada no humor e também no apelo ao homem simples – trabalhador ou desempregado. Estes filmes marcados pela influência do cinema norte-americano, conseguiram criar uma linguagem própria com uma narrativa que revelava a sociedade brasileira da época e apontava para as transformações sociais em direção a um mundo urbano-industrial. De forma geral, a chanchada constitui um cinema de ator, pois a maioria dos filmes estavam centrados no carisma de artistas palhaços como Dercy Gonçalves, Grande Otelo, Oscarito e Zé Trindade.

SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO THE FORMATION OF QUALITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY OF BIOFERTILIZER FROM DIGESTATE
Authors:   Sumy State University, Sipko Iryna , Ablieieva Iryna ,   Linköping University
Published: September 2024

The use of anaerobic digestate as a biofertilizer is quite promising in terms of soil protection technologies in view of the reduction of environmental risks from the use of mineral fertilizers and the positive impact on soil productivity, improvement of their quality and restoration of the humus layer. However, anaerobic digestion does not ensure the complete absence of environmental hazards due to a certain probability of heavy metals, pharmaceutical substances, and pathogenic microorganisms entering the soil with biofertilizer. The article is aimed at determining effective methods of processing raw materials and digestate, as well as technological approaches for obtaining biofertilizer from digestate for use in geosphere protection technologies. The methodological basis of the study was a meta-analysis based on scientific publications within the framework of a systematic approach to the formation of the quality and ecological safety of fertilizer from digestate. It was established that the type of substrate initially affects the content of nutrients and pollutants, but the use of methods of pretreatment of raw materials, thermal and chemical, has the potential to balance the ratio of NPK and remove heavy metals. The most relevant is the choice of digestate separation technology. Thus, it is essential to apply post-treatment methods to raw digestate and its individual fractions. The creation of granulated organo-mineral fertilizers and the production of biochar from the solid fraction of digestate are suggested as environmentally safe products for soil protection technologies.

Authors: Achmadi Achmadi , Septiani Septiani , Safari Wulan fitriani
Published: September 2024

Food Loss and Waste (FLW) is a global problem that has a negative impact on various sectors of life. Microbial spoilage of food products is a major contributor to food waste. Ultraviolet C (UVC) radiation is an effective method for inactivating spoilage microorganisms. Until now, there is no research about effect of UVC on the toxicity of food products and the effects of consuming food products that have been irradiated with UVC, so this research was conducted to determine the toxicity of consuming food that has been irradiated with UVC. Toxicity testing used Rattus norveginus of the Wistar strain weighing 200-300 into 2 groups (n=3), control group (feedd not irradiated) and  treatment group (feed irradiated for 1 hour). Feeding is carried out for 45 days. Blood samples were taken from the rats heart and hemoglobin levels, leukocyte counts, SGOT and SGPT levels were measured. The results showed in the control group the hemoglobin level 6.96 g/dL, the leukocyte count 6.9 x 103/uL, the SOGT level 85.5 U/ and the SGPT level 44 U/L, in the treatment group the hemoglobin level 7.94 g/ dL, leukocyte count 15.63 x 103/uL, SOGT level 81.3 U/ and SGPT level 49.6 U/L.

Published: September 2024

Cultivating melons with organic fertilizer is an agricultural technique that uses natural ingredients to increase soil fertility and plant health. This method is not only environmentally friendly, but is also able to produce healthier and tastier melons. This literature review aims to explore the potential of cocopeat waste, shrimp pond sediment and chicken waste as organic fertilizer in melon cultivation as material for preparing modules in the independent curriculum. These three types of waste contain high nutrients and have the potential to be used as organic fertilizer. Research that has been conducted shows that this organic fertilizer can increase plant growth and yields, as well as reduce the use of chemical fertilizers. Integrating the cotayam compost application into biology learning can increase scientific literacy, as well as awareness of environmental impacts and sustainability.
Scaling Climate Finance: Forest Finance Instruments
Authors:   Auckland University of Technology, Hall David , Lindsay Sam
Published: September 2024

The Lab’s inaugural concept paper, Scaling Climate Finance: Forest Finance Instruments, proposes seven innovative instruments, each ranked in respect to impact strategy and additionality. The paper analyses an environmental impact bond, a leveraged carbon fund, a green covered bond, an equity fund designed to upscale continuous cover forestry, risk-adjusted loans, and an exchange for investing in Nature-Based Solutions. Each concept was developed by reviewing international innovations, adapting promising structures to the unique local context of Aotearoa New Zealand, and conducting workshops and reviews with sector experts and government observers to test, refine and validate the structure. The paper also identifies relevant indicators for impact assessment, such as IRIS metrics, and potential regulatory changes to support the delivery of more sustainable forest outcomes.
‘A leader or a father?’
Authors: Nikolova Yana
Published: September 2024

The main aim of this article is to provide an alternative explanation about the occurrence of populism through the lens of psychoanalysis. Using the concept of transference, the article explains why populism occurs in politics and what the unseen unconscious psychological processes are that form political choices in some societies. It also aims to open a discussion about what type of culture, society, or large group may experience transference when populism is on the rise, and also what type of populism may be the result of transference.
Using the example of a popular media figure winning an election in Bulgaria in 2021, this work combines political, social, and psychological literature on populism with the psychoanalytic concepts of transference (Freud, 1921) and ‘names-of-the-father’ (Lacan, 2013) to explore some large-group processes (Volkan, 2020). By bringing transference from the field of psychotherapy to the field of politics and large-group studies, the work offers a new explanation of why populism is a phenomenon of psychoanalytic nature.
On the strength of exploring the role of transference in large groups within a specific context of politics, the content makes a contribution to the literature on group transference, extends its application to the social and political sphere, and brings the concept of transference to Vamik Volkan’s large-group psychology field. This addresses a gap in current psychoanalytic literature related to social and political phenomena such as populism. Hence, the work creates a bridge between the fields of politics, psychotherapy, and psychoanalysis.

Published: September 2024

Der Keimbahn-Genbearbeitung hat sich während den letzten Jahrzehnten auf einer revolutionären Weise entwickelt: gentechnische Eingriffe könnten potenziell nicht nur das Leben der Menschen, sondern auch sogar die menschliche Rasse drastisch verändern. Diese Entwicklung wurde jedoch vom Recht und insbesondere vom Strafrecht nicht aufgegriffen: das strafrechtliche Verhalten gegenüber der Entwicklung der Gentechnik ist veraltet, unzureichend ausgearbeitet und die abschreckende Wirkung des Strafmaßes ist unverhältnismäßig im Vergleich zur Schwere der Straftat. In meiner Arbeit gebe ich ein kurzes Überblick über die Entwicklung der Gentechnologie, ihre ethischen und sozialen Risiken, ihre internationalen Regelungen, die nationalen Regelungen und ihre Mängel, und – als Synthese meiner Erfahrungen – mache ich de lege ferenda einen Vorschlag, um letztere abzuhelfen, in dem Bemühen, eine möglichst angemessene strafrechtliche Regelung zu schaffen. Ziel meines Vorschlags ist es in erster Linie, der Keimbahn-Genbearbeitung durch spezifischere, modernisierte und in bestimmten Aspekten mit strengeren Strafrectsvorschriften zu regeln, die den Einzelnen, die Gesellschaft, die Menschheit und die Interessen der Gesellschaft vor den Gefahren schützen, die von der bevorstehenden Verbreitung des menschlichen Keimbahn-Genbearbeitung zu erwarten sind.

Ölen kişinin içine defnedildiği üzeri toprakla örtülü çukura mezar denilmekte ve bir diğer kavram olarak kabir kelimesi ya da kümbet, bark, kurgan, oba, kereksür, kegür, türbe gibi kelimelerin yanı sıra Eski Türklerin mezara "gasın" ve "sin" kelimelerini kullandıkları da bilinmektedir. Mezarların üzerine konulan, orada medfun olan kişinin ölüm tarihi, kimliği, başarıları gibi yazıları içinde barındıran taşlara ise mezar taşı denilmektedir. Çok eski zamanlardan beri Türklerde ölü gömme ve mezar taşları dikme kültürünün olduğu, Türklerin yaşadığı farklı coğrafyalarda bulunan buluntu yerlerinin tespit edilip literatüre kazandırılmasıyla kanıtlanmıştır. Anadolu’da da mezar taşı kültürü devam etmiş ve Selçuklulardan sonra Anadolu’ya hakim olan Osmanlı Devleti’nden kalan hazirelerde bunun izlerini görmek mümkündür. Hazirelerdeki mezar taşları üzerinden o semtin sosyo-kültürel hatta bazı hallerde sosyo-ekonomik kimliğine dair çıkarımlar yapılarak o bölgenin sakinleri hakkında önemli bilgilere ulaşmak mümkün olmaktadır. Bu çalışmada; İstanbul’un Anadolu yakasındaki ilçelerinden biri olan Üsküdar’a bağlı Kandilli semtinin tek haziresi olan Kandilli haziresindeki mezar taşlarına dair bir değerlendirme yapılmaya çalışılacaktır.
Anthropogenic Pollution-Induced Stress: Catecholamine Deposition in Erythrocytes of Scorpaena porcus Linnaeus 1758
Authors: Fazio Francesco , Basova Marina , Kesbiç Osman Sabri
Published: September 2024

The sympathoadrenal system plays an essential role in forming the body’s response to the action of stimuli of various natures and intensities. The content of deposited catecholamines in peripheral blood erythrocytes is one of the most accessible parameters for an adequate description of the functional activity of the sympathoadrenal system in humans and rats. The aim of the work is to assess the accumulation of catecholamines in erythrocytes of sea ruffs Scorpaena porcus L. at various pollution levels in the bays of Sevastopol. The phenomenon of accumulation of catecholamines in erythrocytes of the peripheral blood of fish is revealed. The concentration of erythrocytes with deposited catecholamines was higher in fish from polluted bays. In 2006, fish from Alexander Bay exhibited a significantly higher erythrocyte content of deposited catecholamines (36.04%) compared to those from the background area (28.19%) and Quarantine Bay (30.74%) (P < 0.01). Similar levels were observed between Quarantine Bay and the coast of Balaklava. In 2007, fish from Alexander Bay maintained a high erythrocyte catecholamine content (35.2%), while those from Quarantine Bay exhibited a lower level (23.8%) (P ≤ 0.01). In 2008, the erythrocyte catecholamine content in Quarantine Bay was six times higher than that observed in fish from Martynov Bay. These findings underscore the variability in catecholamine concentrations among fish populations inhabiting different coastal regions, suggesting potential environmental influences on stress responses..
Diet Composition of Painted Comber Searranus scriba (Linnaeus 1758) in the Eastern-Central Adriatic Sea
Authors: Šantić Mate , Apostolska Biljana
Published: September 2024

The diet composition of painted comber Serranus scriba was studied in the eastern central Adriatic Sea. The stomach contents of 275 individuals with a total length (TL) between 10.8 and 24.1 cm, collected by a small beach seine from January to December 2017, were analyzed. The food items in stomachs belonged to seven prey groups: Gastropoda, Bivalvia, Polychaeta, Decapoda, Isopoda, Stomatopoda and Teleostei. Overall, decapods were the most important prey group (%IRI = 54.0), followed by teleosts (%IRI = 40.4%). All other prey groups had much lower %IRI values and thus were of less importance. Painted comber had a diverse diet, feeding on a higher number of prey items (H’ = 3.11), and can be considered an opportunistic feeder whose diet in the Adriatic Sea consists of different groups of benthic organisms, with a wide range of prey sizes and morphology. For fish of small and medium size (up to 20 cm TL), decapods were the most important prey, whereas large-sized individuals (> 20 cm TL) mainly consumed teleosts. Decapods were the most important prey in spring, summer and autumn, whereas teleosts dominated in winter.
The Role of Zoosemiotic Inquiry in Shared Environments: Interlinking Nature and Culture
Authors: Mäekivi Nelly
Published: September 2024

Environmental humanities study how human worldviews and culture affect the rest of the nature and our interactions with it. Zoosemiotics provides a unique perspective on human-alloanimal communication and analyzes communication dynamics to address the complexities and competing goals in shared environments, recognizing that human interpretations of alloanimal behavior are often anthropocentric. Understanding alloanimal agency and subjective experiences helps create more respectful and harmonious shared environments. By offering case-studies from zoological gardens and species conservation we hope to guide conservation endeavors, environmental conflict resolution, and more sustainable relationships in the Anthropocene. In examining these shared environments, we also indicate how cultural perceptions and practices influence interspecies interactions, thus emphasizing the interconnectedness of culture and ecology.

It discusses theoretical frameworks by Margret Boden, Donna Haraway, and Bruno Latour, presenting AI not just as a tool, but as an active creative participant. The paper addresses ethical concerns about AI's role in music, including authorship and copyright, advocating for a reevaluation of musicological frameworks to accommodate the evolving collaborative landscape of human and machine creativity.
Determinants of local government debt in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Authors: Moćević Amina , Lazović-Pita Lejla
Published: September 2024

The theory of fiscal federalism suggests that debt of subcentral levels of government is closely related to the internal organization of the country, defined through intergovernmental fiscal relations. Due to a great importance of subcentral levels of government in the theory and practice of fiscal federalism, the aim of the research is to empirically investigate the determinants of local government units’ (LGUs) debt in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH). Based on panel data from 2011 to 2019 and by using a generalized method of moments (GMM), we estimate the model using sets of fiscal, institutional, economic, and demographic variables. The results indicate that the debt of LGUs in FBiH is significantly determined by intergovernmental fiscal relations defined through a group of fiscal and institutional variables and demographic factors. Significant determinants of LGU’s debt in FBiH in the both short and a long term include financing of special expenditure needs of some LGUs together with LGUs within a canton with special expenditure needs. Furthermore, transfers from other government levels are also significant in the short and a long term. Based upon our results, we conclude with several policy implications important for the upcoming intergovernmental decision-making processes in FBiH.
Comparison between internal and electronic clearing systems for checks: A case study pertaining to the Iraqi banking industry
Authors: Huby Maysaa saad Jawad , Ibrahim Lamyaa Ali , Abbas Ali Abdulhassan
Published: September 2024

Payment clearing is important to ensure that the payment is transferred or the cash from one bank account moves to the other bank. The banking system in Iraq follows two sorts of clearance systems which are the IBCS (Inter Bank Clearing System) and C-ACH (Check Automated Clearing House System). Though the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) has already modernized the payment clearing systems, the country’s banks still use the interbank clearing systems. In this background, the current study is a first-of-its-kind attempt to compare and contrast the IBCS and C-ACH systems so as to understand the benefits and disadvantages associated with these two clearance systems and identify the optimal one. For this study, the researcher used secondary data available from the CBI for the study period between 2018 and 2022. The collected data was analyzed for descriptive statistics and correlation to validate the hypotheses. The Mann Whitney U test and independent sample T-test were conducted in the study. From the study outcomes, it is clear that there exists a significant difference between the systems’ performance in terms of number of transfers in dollars and Iraqi dinars as well as the distribution of bank transfers through checks in dollars and Iraqi dinars. Between the systems (IBCS and C-ACH) under study, the C-ACH system gained prominence with the highest number of transfers and the distribution of bank transfers through checks. The study results confirm the increasing penetration of the electronic clearing system while the policy makers in the government and decision makers at the CBI must devise strategies to bring all the participant banks in the country under a unified clearing system so that the end consumer gains benefits in terms of cost, time, data security, ease and so on.

Published: September 2024

The advent of marine transportation poses several challenges, particularly concerning the disposal of waste generated by ships. Incineration of waste has proven to be an effective solution, significantly reducing on-board waste and facilitating its disposal at designated facilities upon arrival at the destination port. While waste can also be incinerated at sea in accordance with relevant regulations, this practice carries significant risks that can lead to workplace accidents. Therefore, this study aimed to identify potential risk factors for workplace accidents during waste incineration activities on ships using Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). The risk levels of occupational accident were also assessed and analyzed to minimize workplace accidents. The FMEA analysis showed that the highest risk of workplace accidents was associated with hand injuries, with a Risk Priority Number (RPN) of 211.58 or 21.1% in the activity of burning waste in the ship´s incinerator.

Published: September 2024

This paper introduces non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques centered on measuring magnetic properties, offering insight into evaluating structural steels throughout aircraft production and service life. It highlights the method’s utility in quality control of steel components, particularly in detecting variations in microstructure affecting mechanical properties. The NDT method correlates material structural state with magnetic properties, utilizing parameters such as coercive force, remanence, and hysteresis loop area. Developed instruments, like the MA-05 Magnetic Analyzer and KRM-Ts coercive force meter, enable precise measurements in both closed and open magnetic circuits. Applications range from assessing heat treatment quality to monitoring materials degradation in challenging conditions. A set of 12 gas containers that have been in service in aircraft for more than 40 years are tested as a case study, demonstrating the method's efficacy in evaluating damage accumulation. Future prospects include other potential applications in testing aircraft landing gear components.
The Dynamic Stability and Performance Implications of Piston-to-Turboprop Engine Modernization of a Light Aircraft for General Aviation
Authors: Marcinkiewicz Ewa
Published: September 2024

This paper explores the influence of engine modernization on the dynamic stability and performance of a general aviation aircraft. Utilizing an integral mathematical model, the study conducts a comparative analysis of the I-23 Manager piston-engine aircraft and its modified I-31T turboprop version, examining changes in aircraft dynamics depending on the power plant type. The modernization necessitated a redesign of the nose section of the fuselage, resulting in alterations to the external shape and flight properties of the aircraft. The research evaluates various dynamic stability parameters, including phugoid, short period, Dutch roll, roll, and spiral modes, under different flight conditions. Results indicate minimal changes in aerodynamic characteristics due to the engine type, yet significant improvements are observed in efficiency, noise reduction, and operational costs. The impact of the propulsion unit on the dynamic stability of the light aircraft was assessed as insignificant, suggesting that the strategy of modernizing an existing piston-driven aircraft by switching to a turboprop drive is indeed promising. With appropriate initial design assumptions, a modern turbine aircraft with strong flight qualities can be efficiently modernized in this way, without compromising the good flying properties of the existing plane. The outcomes are validated against flight tests, reinforcing the viability of integrating more sustainable and efficient propulsion systems into light aircraft. This study may therefore inform future design and regulatory decisions, providing a perspective on the implications of engine upgrades in the general aviation sector.
Non-Contact Eddy Current Conductivity Measurements as an Effective Tool for Evaluating Aluminum Alloys in Aircraft
Authors: Uchanin Valentyn
Published: September 2024

Aluminum alloys (AAs) are pivotal materials in modern aircraft due to their superior mechanical properties and low weight. The structural integrity of these alloys, crucial for aircraft safety, heavily depends on heat treatment processes that alter their mechanical characteristics. Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) techniques, such as eddy current (EC) conductivity measurements, play a vital role in assessing these alloys throughout their lifecycle. EC methods enable the measurement of electrical conductivity, a structure-sensitive parameter that correlates with mechanical properties affected by heat treatments and operational stresses.

This paper reviews the application of EC conductivity measurements in the aerospace industry, focusing on their role in assessing AA structural integrity. It discusses how EC methods can penetrate non-conductive coatings, crucial for in-service measurements without surface removal. Recent developments include a novel small-size EC probe and signal processing algorithms aimed at enhancing sensitivity to conductivity changes through dielectric coatings, up to 0.5 mm thick, commonly found in aircraft structures.

Key findings include analyses of specific electrical conductivity (SEC) changes in AAs due to heat treatment deviations and long-term operational stresses, crucial for predicting residual life and maintaining safety standards. Case studies on aircraft wing skins and helicopter rotor blades demonstrate the practical application of EC conductivity meters in identifying critical damage zones. The methodology proves effective in evaluating localized degradation based on SEC distributions, thereby enhancing maintenance efficiency and aircraft safety.

Overall, this research underscores the significance of EC conductivity measurements in advancing NDE practices for AAs in aircraft applications. The methodologies and findings presented aim to improve safety, durability assessment, and maintenance efficiency in the aerospace industry.

Objective: To explore the knowledge of Geogebra, Python and Matlab to solve graphical problems with animation of discrete dynamic systems. Also to investigate the chaotic behavior of a discrete dynamic system using the Lyapunov exponent.
 
Theoretical Framework: This article deals with the chaotic behavior of a discrete dynamic system through the attractors and a parameter included in the model. First, the orbit and the equilibrium points are defined. Beyond that, according to Li-York there is a chaotic behavior. For this, the Lyapunov exponent plays a fundamental role. The chaotic behavior of an extension of a discrete dynamic system of population growth is analyzed dependent on a parameter “a”. To do this, first, the attractors for the discrete dynamic system  are analyzed, together with the graph of the Lyapunov exponent versus the parameter a. Therefore, it is seen that the graph of the Lyapunov exponent function, where the parameter belongs to the interval (3,5), has a positive region, so it can be stated that the discrete dynamic system  has a chaotic behavior. We will apply the Lyapunov exponent
 
Method: The interval of chaotic behavior is located, using the Lyapounov exponent. Geogebra method for the graphs of the dynamics and analysis of chaos and location of the corresponding entropy.
 
Results and Discussion: The Geogebra graphical method shows the Lyapunov exponent function, where the parameter belongs to the interval (3,5), has a positive region, so it can be stated that the discrete dynamic system (1) has a chaotic behavior. The work is similar to the Dynamic system, chaos and geogebra to model some phenomena of Costa (2023).
 
Implications of the research: Apply in the first university years the application of geogebra to discrete dynamic systems in all university careers and specialties as part of the management of the tools of Information and Communication Technology (TIC).
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the presentation of a chaotic dynamics analysis model with the corresponding entropy or disorder of the system.

The article is devoted to the analysis of thanatological theme in Donna Tartt’s novel “The Secret History” – the writer’s literary debut. The novel is created in the genre of campus novel. The phenomenon of campus novel is connected with the Anglo-American culture, in which the university and higher education are the main elements of modern society, as the university is the place of concentration of cultural and moral values. This article analyses the use of thanatological theme in the creation of psychological portraits of the novel's characters, and examines its influence on the development of the novel’s main themes. The phenomenon of thanatological reflection is considered. It is found that the characters are characterised by describing their attitude to death. The leitmotiv role of the after-death reflection is revealed.
