On the stability of CaS in liquid steel containing alumina or spinel inclusions
Authors:   IIT Bombay, Kumar S , Viswanathan N N ,   IIT Bombay, Kumar D ,   IIT Bombay
Published: September 2024

In secondary steelmaking, calcium treatment is practised to modify the solid alumina or spinel inclusions into liquid or partially liquid calcium aluminates. It has been seen that the dissolved calcium reacts with sulfur or oxygen present in the steel to form CaS or CaO type of transient inclusions. Post-calcium treatment these transient inclusions further react with pre-existing alumina or spinel inclusions and modify them. In addition, direct modification of pre-existing inclusions is also reported in the literature. In the present study, laboratory-scale induction furnace-based experiments are carried out to melt electrolytic iron in an alumina crucible followed by deoxidation with aluminium. The CaS-based composite material, prepared in-house, is added after the aluminium deoxidation to study the stability of CaS at the steelmaking temperature. Multiple steel samples were also taken to track the dissociation of CaS by means of sulfur pick-up in steel. Additionally, inclusion analysis of these steel samples was also performed to track changes in the chemical composition of inclusions in response to CaS addition. It has been seen that the CaS dissociates leading to a gradual pick-up of sulfur in steel. The scanning electron microscope – energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) analysis reveals that the alumina crucible and floated alumina inclusions are modified into calcium aluminates and the extent of modification depends on the contact time of CaS with the two sources of alumina mentioned earlier. However, the modification of alumina inclusions in the bulk steel did not occur during these experiments.

High-Cr and Ti-bearing ferritic stainless steel (FSS) has superior corrosion resistance compared to other steels. The Ti-bearing FSS requires not only high corrosion resistance and formability, but also high cleanliness of the cold rolled sheet. Specifically, the cleanliness of Ti-bearing FSS has been improved through the vacuum oxygen decarburisation (VOD) and the ladle treatment (LT) processes. Nevertheless, there are still unsolved problems such as large fluctuations in Ti yield due to various factors including Al deoxidation practice and slag-metal reactions after Ti alloying. The activity of TiO2 in the CaO-Al2O3-based slag must be measured to determine the equilibrium of the reaction between Ti and O in the molten steel and TiO2 in the slag. Moreover, in continuous casting tundish, the internal cleanliness of molten steel is significantly affected by the reoxidation due to the reaction with the atmosphere as well as tundish flux and insulation cover powder. Therefore, the present study aims to provide a systematic understanding the reaction between Ti-bearing FSS melt and the slag and to investigate the thermodynamic behaviour of TiO2 in the CaO-Al2O3-MgO-TiO2 slag.

Published: September 2024

Mineral resources are becoming more complex in composition and structure making it more difficult to produce clean concentrates for primary metal smelting. In parallel, providing technological solutions to the recycling and recovery of end-of-life materials is becoming more important in moving towards the goal of increasing circularity. The availability of fundamental thermodynamic data and advanced thermodynamic tools greatly assists in evaluating these complexities and their impact on existing and new processes. In addition, it is fundamental to support the economic performance of smelters. This paper describes several examples on how fundamental work can be applied to industrial processing.

Metallurgical slag, such as refining slag, is essential to enhance or promote steel cleanliness. The CaO–MgO–Al2O3–SiO2 system is the primary source of oxides-based inclusions. It plays a vital role in applications in various pyrometallurgical processes. Numerous thermodynamic databases and physicochemical properties of slag studies mainly focus on quenched samples and measurements at room temperature. Consequently, the present study explored the physicochemical, structural properties and crystallisation evolution for CaO–MgO–Al2O3–SiO2 glassy slags via in situ high-temperature Raman spectroscopy and synchrotron X-ray diffraction. The study was carried out by synthesising CaO–MgO–Al2O3–SiO2 slag with varying Al2O3/SiO2 ratios. The results from the in situ high-temperature measurement demonstrated a pattern showing a transformation of a broad peak from the glassy matrix to crystalline peaks. The study showed crystallisation of dominant phases such as Ca2SiO4, Ca2Al2SiO7 and CaAl2O4 that correspond and are attributable to changes of structural units during in situ high-temperature measurements. The results further showed a correlation between an increase and transformation in crystalline phases observed from the spectra obtained from non-isothermal heating of the samples.

Climate change is a worldwide profound phenomenon that is expected to continue, especially with ever-increasing GHG emissions. Developing countries are particularly exposed and vulnerable to cross-cutting climate change impacts, making them vulnerable. Such vulnerability is aggravated by their low adaptive capacity, due to high competition for financial and natural resources required for development efforts and their limited institutional capacities. Such institutional capacities are essential for developing and implementing successful adaptation strategies. Assessing such capacities is crucial for identifying opportunities for improvements, through the detection of weaknesses and strengths. This paper aims to propose an integrated framework for assessing institutional capacities for climate change adaptation. For this purpose, the paper begins by reviewing existing literature on institutional capacities approaches, followed by proposing an integrated framework for capacity assessment for climate change adaptation. The proposed framework is then validated in the case of Egypt, which is followed by a conclusion and recommendations. The proposed framework consists of three pillars: governance, mainstreaming adaptation, and capacity strengthening as well as their specific criteria and indicators. The suggested framework application on climate change institutions in Egypt suggested that, despite the existence of a formal institutional structure for climate change in Egypt, with limited capacities and financial resources. Additionally, it is not inclusive and has a low level of accountability and transparency.

Communication is an important function of language. Sometimes, it stands out because of the novelty of ideas, and sometimes by the uniqueness of style. In art and literature, style dominates meanings. E. E. Cummings’s poem is the master of paradoxes. This paper is going to unentangle his puzzles in his poem “anyone lived in a pretty how town”. This poem is full of paradoxes. The poet has made seemingly weird grammatical collocations. Apparently vague, ungrammatical, and illogical modifiers foreground the themes of the poem. This paper describes how by virtue of his style, Cummings makes rational of the irrational, compatible of the incompatible, plausible of the implausible, acceptable of the unacceptable, and meaningful of the absurd. The method used to analyses his style consist of (1) highlighting his use of parallelism and deviations, (2) interpreting his lines in the light of his main theme i.e., disregard for individuality, (3) interpreting structure of the lines in accordance with the possible semantic sense. The outcome of the study is that meanings do not come exclusively from words; context, both situational and textual, also contribute to meanings. Sometimes, context manipulates both lexis and meanings. This paper highlights how contrasts, incompatibilities and absurdities may foreground meanings.

Published: September 2024

The peasant family economy in the La Hermosa farm, located in the La Libertad hamlet of Florencia, Caquetá, faces significant challenges due to the disarticulation of the community and the lack of inclusion of plot holders in communal projects. This study analyzes the family economy of the farm, characterized by the multifunctionality of its activities, including swine, poultry and agricultural production. The main economic activity is swine farming, which generates income in the short and medium term, allowing for continuous production cycles. Poultry production, divided between egg and chicken production, contributes additional income, while bread crops are essential for family nutrition and food sovereignty. The peasant economy on the farm is characterized by the active participation of family labor and its articulation with local markets. However, marketing faces obstacles such as the poor condition of tertiary roads and increased transportation costs. Short marketing circuits allow a direct relationship between producers and consumers, favoring the sale of fresh and organic products. This work highlights the importance of implementing agroecological practices and sustainable production systems that preserve biodiversity and contribute to food security and sovereignty. It also emphasizes the need for policies that strengthen the peasant family economy, guaranteeing its economic viability and its capacity to adapt to environmental changes. The research also underlines the relevance of community participation and the integration of producers in local development projects to improve the living conditions of peasant families.

The copoazú production chain is a fundamental area of study, especially in relation to the teaching and learning processes involved in its cultivation. The copoazú, belonging to the Theobroma genus, is native to neotropical regions and stands out in Brazil and Colombia for its diversity. This study focuses on the Caranguchal village, Florencia, Caquetá, and examines how knowledge transfer impacts copoazú productivity and quality. In this context, several educational strategies have been implemented, including lectures and practical activities in the field, with the objective of engaging farmers in continuous and participatory learning. The main problem investigated is the effectiveness of these educational processes. The results obtained are evaluated and an analysis is made of how the teaching strategies affect the copoazú production chain. The research was carried out in the Santa Marta village in Florencia, where farmers are engaged not only in copoazú, but also in other crops and livestock activities. The methodology used included surveys and qualitative interviews to collect data on farmers' perceptions and experiences. The results reveal that the active participation of farmers in the educational process is crucial to improve agricultural practices and crop sustainability. However, challenges such as limited access to updated information and difficulties in marketing due to infrastructure problems are also identified. The research highlights the importance of short marketing circuits and the implementation of agroecological practices to preserve biodiversity and improve economic and environmental sustainability. In conclusion, the study underscores the need to promote educational methods adapted to local needs and encourage community participation to achieve greater effectiveness in the copoazú production chain. This will contribute to improve the quality of life of farmers and ensure the long-term sustainability of this important agricultural activity.

Abstract A technique termed optical character recognition, or OCR, is used to extract text from images. An OCR the system's primary goal is to transform already present paper-based paperwork or picture data into usable papers. Character as well as word detection are the two main phases of an OCR, which is designed using many algorithms. An OCR also maintains a document's structure by focusing on sentence identification, which is a more sophisticated approach. Research has demonstrated that despite the efforts of numerous scholars, no error-free Bengali OCR has been produced. This issue is addressed by developing an OCR for the Bengali language using the latest 3.03 version of the Tesseract OCR engine for Windows.

Authors: Sikka Veronica , Saifman Shane , King Christian , Klinker Suzanne , Mont Theresa , Castiglioni Analia
Published: September 2024

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic made clinical rotations for medical students difficult to maintain in person. Several medical schools adapted to the pandemic by providing some training in telemedicine. The use of telemedicine has grown exponentially in the United States in recent years and COVID-19 acted as an accelerant for its growth. What remains largely unknown is the longterm value and sustainability of telemedicine in medical education. This study aims to address this gap in the literature by examining the value of integrating a clinical virtual urgent care rotation in the training of medical students. Methods: The authors examined retrospective descriptive data from Veterans who utilized telemedicine services from a virtual urgent care clinic. The analysis included 2,512 patient episodes with 23 medical students between July 1, 2020 to April 30, 2023. The study examined trends in monthly average first contact resolution (FCR) and tested whether the first contact resolution from the medical student rotation was statistically different from the Clinical Contact Center (CCC) overall. Results: The retrospective descriptive analysis found that the monthly first contact resolution for patients seen by medical students was approximately 80%. This average was not statistically different than the 18,000 patient episodes that occurred within the CCC during the same period. Informal feedback from the students was positive, and they all presented on wellreceived capstone topics such as tele-critical care, tele-cardiology, tele-orthopedics, and a history and critical analysis of telemedicine. Conclusions: This study confirmed the value of telemedicine in medical education and the call to medical schools to consider incorporating formal education on telemedicine in the medical student curricula. As medicine moves toward incorporating telemedicine in specialty practices, having it as part of medical education will be a valuable inclusion for future physicians.

Dimensions of freedom of Ukrainian art in the late 80s and early 90s of the 20th century and their manifestation in artistic associations of that time
Authors: Soliarska-Komarchuk Iryna
Published: September 2024

The relevance of the research topic lies in the insufficient study of such a period of Ukrainian art as the turn of the 1980s and early 1990s, when banned artists came out of the underground, taking advantage of the weakening of the ideological pressure of the Soviet system, and led powerful artistic movements involved in the formation of dimensions of free creativity. The purpose of the work is to clarify the conditions for the development of Ukrainian art at the turn of the 80s and 90s of the 20th century, and to highlight the importance of creative associations in the process of artists’ realisation of new tasks in the emerging continuum of freedom (on the example of the associations “The Way” and “The Strontium-90”). The methodological apparatus of the study consists of three stages (preparatory, research and synthesising) using the following methods: analysis of literary and scientific sources, dialectical method in the emergence of a new phenomenon, method of logical analysis, method of critical and comparative analysis, synergistic method, generalisation, method of hypothesis and forecasting. The study found that at the end of the 1980s, under the influence of the Chornobyl disaster, Ukrainian “unofficial” art left the status of marginal, and its representatives became the forerunners of a new free creative continuum. The artists of the new generation, using the neo-avant-garde experience of their colleagues and the factor of freedom of expression, strive to use the latest creative practices, which has connected them to the global artistic space. The study argues that neo-mythologism, as one of the main principles of world art of the second half of the 20th century, at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s became decisive in the process of creating a free artistic continuum. This principle led to the most individualised figurative system of expression of Ukrainian artists of the new generation. The paper examines two artistic associations, “The Way” and “Strontium-90”, and their role in shaping the Ukrainian free creative continuum. The practical significance of the study lies in the use of the results in the creation of recommendations and methodological guides on the history of Ukrainian art of the 20th and 21st centuries and gallery business

Visual illusions as a means of aestheticisation of the object-spatial environment
Authors: Andresyuk Borys
Published: September 2024

The article’s relevance lies in the need to enrich the designer’s creative experience, open up new possibilities for visual communication, and elevate visual culture to a new level. The article’s aim is to outline the role of visual illusions in the aestheticisation of the object-spatial environment, using examples of techniques that enable designers to achieve visual effects when arranging creative spaces. The article discusses the role of visual effects in the design of object-spatial environments, which result in visual illusions. They represent perceptual distortions of reality, where there is a discrepancy between the physical parameters of an object or subject and how the human brain interprets incoming visual information. By evoking vivid sensations, visual effects can contribute to a deeper emotional connection between the environment and the audience, making it memorable and recognisable. People actively apply visual illusions in arranging their living environment to change or adjust existing forms and spaces. This allows for a fresh perception of the surrounding world, accomplishing a psychoemotional “renewal”, and satisfying the need for novelty in cognitive and emotional experience. The use of visual illusions can significantly enrich a designer’s creative arsenal, open new horizons in visual culture, encourage unconventional thinking, and go beyond the boundaries of traditional approaches to visual communication. By experimenting with various forms of illusions, designers can develop new methods to influence perception and emotions, thus expanding the horizons of their creativity. The ability of designers to use unconventional images in design, and their capability to create deep, emotionally resonant, and memorable designs will attract the audience’s attention, forming a vivid first impression of the object-spatial environment. The practical value of the work lies in its actualisation of the role of visual illusions in aestheticising the object-spatial environment, in satisfying human needs for novelty and artistic arrangement of space
In the mood for food? Exploring the concept of food media and the motivations for engaging with mediated food content from an audience’s and producers’ perspective
Authors:   , Cuykx Isabelle
Published: September 2024

For decades, messages about nutrition have been a prominent feature in our media landscape, encompassing tips and tricks from well-known TV chefs and social media influencers, recipes in cookbooks and magazines, as well as podcasts and documentaries on healthy or sustainable eating, etc. Previous research on food media focused among others on their content or their influence on food-related aspects such as food preferences or intake, but studies on why people pay attention to or seek out food media messages have received less academic attention. This dissertation therefore investigates (1) what food media precisely are and (2) what the expectations and fulfilled desires are of both the audience and the content creators. The thesis begins with an analysis of the concept and definition of food media based on a scoping review. It then explores the motivations and gratifications behind the use of food media using the Uses and Gratifications framework. Through a mix of qualitative and quantitative research, an scale was developed to measure seven themes regarding the gratifications that audience members (hope to) fulfill through food media content. Furthermore, differences within the audience of food media are highlighted, focusing on varying levels of cooking capital and the impact of COVID-19 on recipe use. Finally, this thesis examines the motivations of food media professionals and the influences on their work processes: how do their intentions overlap with the motivations of the audience? Thanks to a transmedial approach, this dissertation contributes to a better understanding of the diversity of food media and their strong presence in the media landscape. The development of the measurement instrument and findings regarding differences in cooking capital, recipe usage, and the motivations of audience members versus those of food media professionals are relevant and provide valuable tools for a wide range of scientists, health, marketing, and nutrition experts.
