Authors: Kıray Didem
Published: September 2024

Since our country is located on the Alpine-Himalayan orogenic belt, both surface and underground mining sectors have developed. Occupational health and safety have gained importance as the developing mining sector, the increase in raw material production and the increase in the workforce. In this study, considering the geological structure of the marble quarry operating areas and the activities carried out in the quarry on Marmara Island, the second largest island of Turkey in Balıkesir province, 59 hazards and risks from 26 activity areas were determined.These hazards and risks were compared using 5x5 L-type Matrix, Fine-Kinney and Potential Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) quantitative risk methods.In the 5x5 L type Matrix method, 25 are high risk, 1 is medium risk, in the Fine-Kinney method, 16 are very high risk, 8 are high risk, 2 are in the important risk group, and in the FMEA method, 13 "precautions need to be taken" according to RÖS values, 11 “precautions can be taken” and 2 “no precautions needed” risks were identified. Among these methods, it has been determined that the Fine-Kinney method is a suitable method to be used in the operation of surface marble quarries, as it provides safer results by analyzing the hazards and risks specific to the environmental conditions, work areas and employees in a more detailed, comprehensive and more sensitive manner.

Published: September 2024

In order to accurately obtain the gas content of in-situ coal seams in coal mines, a sealed coring technology for in-situ coal seams in coal mines has been proposed. By utilizing the pressure difference generated by high-pressure water at both ends of the piston, the piston is driven to cut off the positioning pin, which in turn drives the ball valve in the coring device to rotate, achieving the goal of cutting off and sealing the in-situ coal core. Performance tests were conducted on the sealing pressure of the coring device by opening the amount of water holes on the piston and using suspension pins of different materials, verifying the working parameters of the piston opening amount and suspension pins of different materials, providing basic data for subsequent industrial underground tests. Finally, during the industrial test underground, it was found that the gas content in the coal seam measured by closed sampling was 1.9-2.5 times higher than that of the coal seam sampled by the hole, which verified the successful design of the closed sampling device.

Authors: Şener Muhammed , Uysal Turan , Erdemoğlu Murat
Published: September 2024

Plaster is among the most needed raw materials in the world. In this study, thermal activation provided by calcination and mechanical activation methods provided by intensive milling in the plaster production process were evaluated in terms of activation energy. In this context, the energies of laboratory-scale thermal and mechanical activation processes were calculated and these activation methods were evaluated economically and the ideal activation methods were determined. Although the mechanical activation method creates additional investment and operating costs, it reduces the calcination temperature by 13 °C, thus provides lower energy costs. Addition of a mechanical activator mill before thermal activation in plaster production as a more economical and more environmentally friendly method was proposed.

Re-examining the Link Between Economic Growth and Income Inequality in Sub-Saharan African Countries: Do Natural Resource Endowments Matter?
Authors: Oumarou Mohamadou , Sali Oumarou , Hamadou Alioum
Published: September 2024

Do natural resource endowments influence the relationship between economic growth and income inequality in Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries? This is the main question of this article. To this end, we use polynomial non-linear modeling and non-parametric and semi-parametric modeling applied to a panel of 43 SSA countries between 2000 and 2020. The data used come from World Development Indicators (WDI) and the University of Texas Inequality Project. In order to enrich the empirical literature on the subject, four indices measure income inequality in the econometric tests. All other things being equal, the results show that the growth-inequality link is non-linear, with a positive trend that changes convexity with the level of growth. Rents from non-renewable natural resources (oil, gas and other minerals) accentuate the negative effect of growth on inequality, while income from renewable resources (water and forests) has the effect of reducing inequality. Furthermore, these results show that rents from a single product (a single natural resource) have no impact on inequality. On the other hand, income from the export of several natural resources accentuates the effect of growth on inequality. Consequently, SSA countries need to put in place a general policy to reduce inequalities and a strategy to reduce their dependence on the exploitation of natural resources. This can be achieved through the structural transformation of economies and the development of global value chains.
Evaluating Partisan Registrations Amid the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) Controversy
Authors: McDonald Jared , Safarpour Alauna , Hanmer Michael J. , Bryant Lisa A.
Published: September 2024

Election integrity is paramount in a healthy democracy. The American system places theresponsibility of essential election administration functions, such as cleaning lists of registered votersas people change addresses, move across state lines, or pass away, with state and local officials. Toovercome this collective action problem, the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) wascreated as a collaboration between states, whereby members share administrative data to ensure cleanvoter registration lists and encourage individuals who are eligible but unregistered (EBUs) to registerto vote. Through experiments in partnership with ERIC member states, researchers found that contactfrom state officials increased registration and turnout among EBUs. Despite ERIC’s primary focus onmaintaining the accuracy of voter rolls, it was criticized in early 2022 by conservatives, who accusedit of being a tool for partisan electioneering. In the aftermath of this criticism, nine Republican-ledstates left ERIC, prompting concerns that this would make election administration more difficult. Weassess the validity of these attacks and provide strong evidence that contributes to the debate aboutwhether mobilizing the unregistered population produces partisan advantage. By leveraging fieldexperiments conducted by ERIC member states during the 2016 election in Pennsylvania and Nevada(two important swing states), we find that ERIC’s efforts had little differential effect on partyregistration or turnout. We discuss the importance of efforts to provide states with tools to maintainclean voter rolls and to connect with eligible, but hard-to-reach potential voters who often getignored by campaigns.
Individual Differences in Navigation Skill: Towards Reliable and Valid Measures
Authors: Lader Jacob , Nguyen Kim V , Newcombe Nora
Published: September 2024

Even though successful navigation is vital for survival, individuals vary widely in their navigation skills. Although researchers have examined the correlates of such variation, the accumulation of knowledge is hindered by the variety of paradigms used. We know little about the relation among them, and their validity for real-world behaviors. In this study, we assessed encoding of environmental features in one real-world and two virtual environments. Each paradigm involved building a map from memory and pointing to the location of objects while standing at different locations in the environment. Two of the paradigms also used a route efficiency task in which participants aimed to take the shortest possible path to a target object. Factor analysis showed unique variance associated with each paradigm, as well as cross-factor (cross-paradigm) relations. Mental rotation and perspective taking tasks correlated with individual differences, although differently for different paradigms. The data suggest that (a) virtual measures correlate with real-world ones, (b) there is common variance across paradigms, (c) there is also unique paradigm-specific variation, and (d) the specific tasks used (pointing, map building, shortest route finding) are less important. Future research should use multiple paradigms to achieve reliable assessments.

Published: September 2024

The Panel Study of Russian Public Opinion and Attitudes (PROPA) report,based on surveys conducted in Summer 2024, examines the evolving views of Russiancitizens amidst the ongoing war in Ukraine, economic challenges, and ongoing politicalrepression. This wave of research, conducted both online and via telephone, gathersinsights from a wide demographic cross-section of Russian society, with 4,470 participants in the online survey (June 28 - July 25, 2024) and 1,603 respondents in thetelephone interviews (June 13 - 24, 2024). The study explores economic perceptions,political attitudes, religious beliefs, and historical memories shaping public opinion.Key findings include:1. Economic Satisfaction and Support for the Regime: A significant portion ofrespondents express satisfaction with their economic situation, which correlates withsupport for the war in Ukraine and President Putin’s leadership. The data suggestthat those with higher economic satisfaction tend to favor strong presidential powerwithout checks and balances.2. Political Attitudes: Public support for the ongoing war in Ukraine remainspolarized, with 42.6% of online respondents supporting the war, while opposition ismore pronounced in the online format than in telephone surveys. The report alsohighlights declining trust in key political institutions, though a substantial portion ofthe population still supports authoritarian governance structures.3. Religious Influence: Religious beliefs, particularly among those with higherreligiosity, play a notable role in shaping political opinions. Religious individuals aremore likely to support conservative political stances, which align with the regime’snarrative.4. Memory of the Past: Historical events, including family experiences with WorldWar II, the war in Afghanistan, and Stalinist repressions, influence public attitudestoward the war in Ukraine. Those with personal or familial ties to these events aremore likely to support current military actions.Overall, the findings reflect a society under strain, with significant pockets of dis-content, especially among younger and less affluent citizens, but with ongoing supportfor the regime among economically secure and religious segments of the population.The research offers a nuanced view of how historical memory, economic well-being, andpolitical repression interact in the wartime Russia.
Evaluating the Impact of Repeated Global Ransomware Attacks on Governance, Risk, and Compliance Frameworks: A Computational Perspective
Authors: Rowati Zachary , Yoferi Helena , Yildirim Emre , Kovalchuk Igor
Published: September 2024

Nowadays, ransomware is one of the most significant threats to organizational security, causing widespread disruption across various sectors and challenging existing cybersecurity defenses. A novel concept examined in this study is the assessment of current Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) frameworks against the evolving tactics of ransomware, highlighting the need for adaptability and resilience in GRC practices. The research employs a data-driven approach to analyze how modern ransomware exploits vulnerabilities in established GRC controls and provides empirical evidence through simulations to understand the effectiveness of existing measures. Results demonstrate that traditional GRC models often fall short in addressing the complexities of ransomware attacks, necessitating a shift toward more dynamic and context-aware strategies that integrate advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence for real-time monitoring and response. The study further explores the variability in GRC performance across industries, underscoring the importance of sector-specific adaptations to enhance the overall defense posture against ransomware. Ultimately, the findings advocate for a more holistic approach to GRC, emphasizing the integration of proactive risk management, continuous monitoring, and cross-functional collaboration to create a robust framework capable of withstanding global and repeated ransomware threats.
Student socioeconomic status and teacher-student perceptual discrepancies of school effort and enjoyment
Authors: Perinetti Casoni Valentina , Barg Katherin
Published: September 2024

Congruence between teacher and student perceptions is important for the creation of effective learning environments and enables teachers to adjust to students’ needs. The present study investigates discrepancies between teacher and student perceptions of student’s school enjoyment and effort, and whether these discrepancies are associated with student SES. We argue that ‘cultural correspondence’ between teachers and higher SES students, student visibility and teacher unconscious bias could be driving the association between student SES and teacher-student perceptual discrepancies. Our study draws on representative survey data on children at the end of primary school in England and Scotland, and uses a residual method to compute perceptual discrepancies. We find that, compared to students’ own perceptions of their enjoyment and effort, teachers significantly underestimate the effort and enjoyment of low SES students and overestimate the same attitudes for high SES students. The association between SES and discrepancies between teacher and student perceptions remains significant even when student prior ability and socioemotional and behavioural difficulties are held constant. Our results do not provide evidence for cultural correspondence but seem to show that student visibility and teacher unconscious biases explain part of the association between SES and perceptual discrepancies.
More than Symbols: the Effect of Symbolic Policies on Climate Policy Support
Authors: Tallent Théodore , Jan Malo , Sattelmayer Luis
Published: September 2024

As the effects of climate change become increasingly salient, the need for stringent climate policies has become more pressing. However, the implementation of such policies is often met with resistance from the public due to their perceived costs and distributional implications. To address this challenge, scholars have mostly focused on the material compensations that can be leveraged to increase public support among policy losers. In this paper, we go beyond existing literature by testing the effects of symbolic climate policies. We conceptualize symbolic policies as having low material and behavioral impacts on individuals but high symbolic effects. We argue and show that policies symbolically targeting the carbon-intensive behavior of privileged social groups increase support for costly climate policies by appealing to feelings of unfairness and resentment towards these groups. We demonstrate our argument using a survey experiment among a representative sample of the French population, complemented by qualitative interviews.
No significant effect of chronic stress on moral decision-making is found: A data reanalysis and a pre-registered replication and extension
Authors: Zou Lemei , Wu Junhong , Liu Chuanjun , Huang Jianping
Published: September 2024

According to the dual-process model of moral cognition, individuals tend to refuse the proposal of killing less for saving more innocents under stressful conditions compared to non-stressful states, which is demonstrated in previous studies. However, this effect might not be significant according to the General Adaptation Syndrome theory and the Stress Process Model. To test this speculation, we re-analyzed the raw data of chronic stress’s effect on moral choice from previous study (Study 1) and conducted a pre-registered replication and extension study (Study 2). Both results demonstrated no significant effect of chronic stress on moral decisions, which is inconsistent with the original results. Our study calls for the caution of this effect and has important theoretical and practical implications.
Another brick in the wall? Staff belonging and mattering in higher education
Authors: Hodgson Rebecca
Published: September 2024

This paper presents a conceptual framework of academic professional identity. The framework emerged from a study into the experiences of early career academics in a large post-1992 English university, who were undertaking or had recently undertaken a professional development programme. The research aimed to ascertain how these academics conceptualised their academic role and practice over time and what might account for this. A set of longitudinal interviews over the duration of the programme, three per participant, formed the data set. The research is situated within a constructivist paradigm and adopted a reflexive, interpretative approach to data collection and analysis. An iterative process of qualitative data analysis was used, with themes inductively generated from the data, using first open coding and then qualitative content analysis. Several interdependent factors influencing professional identity and practice were identified from the data. These were self-efficacy, agency, mattering, and belonging, which were interrelated with a fundamental aspect of a secure professional identity, resilience. These findings informed the creation of a conceptual model for professional identity, its formation, and its development, applicable across the diversity of roles within higher education. Given the rapidly changing nature of higher education, and the global challenges of post-pandemic learning and AI, this model has significant implications and utility for leaders, managers, and professional development in academic institutions. It also offers a navigational framework for individuals to recognise and reflect on the impact of their experiences as professionals in contemporary higher education.
Uncertainty Quantification With Sparsely Characterized Parameters: An Example Applied to Femoral Stem Mechanics
Authors: Wanki Godlove , Ekwaro-Osire Stephen , Dias João Paulo , Cunha Jr Americo
Published: September 2024

The advent of state-of-the-art additive manufacturing (AM) processes has facilitated the manufacturing of complex orthopedic metallic implants such as femoral stems with porous portions based on lattice structures. These struts often have rough and not smooth textured surfaces, for which the irregularities may influence mechanical properties. To make robust predictions about the behavior of this kind of system, the variability effect of its parameters on the stem stiffness must be considered in the processes of modeling and design of porous femoral stems. Also, to improve the credibility of computational models used for hip implant analysis, which involves numerous uncertainties, there is a need for rigorous uncertainty quantification (UQ) framework for proper model assessment following a credible-modeling standard. This work proposes a UQ framework in the presence of sparsely characterized input parameters using the maximum entropy principle for analyzing a femoral stem implant model and thus to clarify how uncertainties impact the key properties of a porous femoral stem. In this study, uncertainties in the strut thickness, pore size, Young's modulus, and external forcing are considered. The UQ framework is validated using experimental results available from literature, following the guidelines set in an ASME standard.
Enhancing the performance of a bistable energy harvesting device via the cross-entropy method
Authors: Cunha Jr Americo
Published: September 2024

This work deals with the solution of a non-convex optimization problem to enhance the performance of an energy harvesting device, which involves a nonlinear objective function and a discontinuous constraint. This optimization problem, which seeks to find a suitable configuration of parameters that maximize the electrical power recovered by a bistable energy harvesting system, is formulated in terms of the dynamical system response and a binary classifier obtained from 0-1 test for chaos. A stochastic solution strategy that combines penalization and the cross-entropy method is proposed and numerically tested. Computational experiments are conducted to address the performance of the proposed optimization approach by comparison with a reference solution, obtained via an exhaustive search in a refined numerical mesh. The obtained results illustrate the effectiveness and robustness of the cross-entropy optimization strategy, showing that the proposed framework may be a very useful and powerful tool to solve optimization problems involving nonlinear energy harvesting dynamical systems.

Published: September 2024

STONEHENGE is a toolbox designed to evaluate nonlinear vibration-based energy harvesting systems, which demand careful studies regarding their nontrivial behavior. It is composed of an ensemble of codes to study and characterize the dynamic behavior, as well as deal with varieties of physical parameters and excitation. For this, it has six modules, initial value problem, dynamic animation, nonlinear tools, sensitivity analysis, stochastic simulation, and chaos control. A bistable oscillator is used as a benchmark for a vibration harvester. We hope this toolbox can contribute to the development and improvement of old and new generations of nonlinear vibration-based energy harvesting systems.

Published: September 2024

The severe acute respiratory syndrome of coronavirus 2 spread globally very quickly, causing great concern at the international level due to the severity of the associated respiratory disease, the so-called COVID-19. Considering Rio de Janeiro city (Brazil) as an example, the first diagnosis of this disease occurred in March 2020, but the exact moment when the local spread of the virus started is uncertain as the Brazilian epidemiological surveillance system was not widely prepared to detect suspected cases of COVID-19 at that time. Improvements in this surveillance system occurred over the pandemic, but due to the complex nature of the disease transmission process, specifying the exact moment of emergence of new community contagion outbreaks is a complicated task. This work aims to propose a general methodology to determine possible start dates for the multiple community outbreaks of COVID-19, using for this purpose a parametric statistical approach that combines surveillance data, nonlinear regression, and information criteria to obtain a statistical model capable of describing the multiple waves of contagion observed. The dynamics of COVID-19 in the city of Rio de Janeiro is taken as a case study, and the results suggest that the original strain of the virus was already circulating in Rio de Janeiro city as early as late February 2020, probably being massively disseminated in the population during the carnival festivities.

Published: September 2024

This study presents a checklist for measuring the expressive vocabularies of young children acquiring the Mayan language Tseltal. Adapted from the US English MacArthur Bates Communicative Development Inventories, and tested with 84 Tseltal-acquiring children (9–23 months), this Tseltal checklist shows desired within- and across-subcategory variability in age of acquisition, expected age- and gender-related change, and typical patterns of relative over- and under-representation in the most cross-linguistically stable domains. We discuss potential uses of the checklist and the next steps in its future development.
Difficulty removing a ureteric stent due to a knotted proximal end
Authors: Dawson Jonathon , Starmer Ben
Published: September 2024

We present a case of a 55-year-old male who presented three days after laser lithotripsy and insertion of a 6 CH multilength JJ stent. Symptoms included abdominal pain and visible haematuria. Investigations included a CT scan showing the stent to be in a satisfactory position with no encrustation. Unexpected difficulty was encountered on cystoscopic removal as the stent would not come out entirely. Abdominal X-ray showed the proximal end of the stent to be knotted and stuck at the vesicoureteric junction. He was transferred to the operating theatre, and the stent was successfully removed with continuous traction under a general anaesthetic. Post-removal cystoscopy and retrograde pyelogram showed an intact urinary tract with inflammation at the left ureteric orifice. Knotting of ureteric stents is a rare complication but has been reported previously in the literature. The exact aetiology is not known; however, it has previously been attributed to excessive length of stent within the renal pelvis. Several methods of removing a knotted stent have been reported, including traction, ureteroscopic untying, laser destruction of the stent, retrograde removal, and open surgery. Choice of technique will vary depending on anatomical location of the knot.
How Service Learning Can Promote Soft-Skills Acquisition: Lessons Learned from a Project in LIS Education
Authors: Montesi Michela , Bornstein Belén Álvarez , Valero Pablo Parra
Published: September 2024

This research explores the acquisition of soft skills in a service learning project in the Complutense University of Madrid's library and information science undergraduate program. Reaching its fifth edition in 2021–22, the project aimed to integrate older persons into the social fabric of a residential enclave of Madrid known as “Parque Móvil.” The research method was a case study based on a diverse set of data, including a survey, a focus group, and journal observations. In the analysis of the data, attention was paid to the context in which the project took place, the notion of “social roles,” and the differences between two groups of participating students. The results show that working in different locations and outside the classroom changed students’ agentic position, as they were required to take on different roles and negotiate them with community partners. Additionally, these roles varied in terms of associated tasks and functions and were emergent, not static. By having to negotiate social roles with community partners, students experienced intense emotions, which equipped them with additional non-cognitive tools for reflection and comprehension. They also needed to engage in community information practices to deal with information silence and information noise, which, together with the need to get along with uncertainty, may support recent claims to introduce more information behavior theories in LIS education.

El componente semántico de Manera en la traducción de verbos de movimiento de italiano a español
Authors: Florio Nicola
Published: September 2024

Introducción: El italiano y el español, a pesar de ser dos lenguas románicas, presentan diferencias importantes en los recursos lingüísticos disponibles en ambas lenguas para hablar del movimiento. Metodología: Se ha realizado un análisis exhaustivo del corpus textual paralelo formado por la novela italiana I leoni di Sicilia y su traducción al español, Los leones de Sicilia, centrando la atención en los verbos de movimiento que lexicalizan el componente semántico de Manera en la propia raíz verbal. Hemos analizado las técnicas utilizadas en la traducción al español de esta tipología de verbos y se han comparado con las traducciones elaboradas por un grupo de alumnos universitarios del Grado de Traducción e Interpretación. Resultados: Las técnicas de traducción más habituales en español tienden al uso de locuciones y construcciones lingüísticas complejas, así como a la reducción u omisión de la información sobre la Manera. Discusión: La lengua italiana parece mostrar mayor flexibilidad, riqueza y variedad que el español en cuanto a la incorporación de detalles sobre la Manera en los verbos de movimiento. Conclusiones: Este tipo de estudios aportan datos relevantes sobre el vínculo entre cognición y lenguaje, y fomentan la reflexión y el pensamiento crítico en el aula universitaria.

Discusión: El trabajo colaborativo permitió abordar el sistema constructivo de manera integralmente, siendo esta práctica de inmersión parcial.  Conclusiones: STEM resultó efectivo en la integración de varias asignaturas, pero no excluye el contacto físico que se debe tener con el objeto de estudio.
Representaciones sobre la tristeza en el cine indígena mexicano: La tiricia o cómo curarse la tristeza, de Ángeles Cruz
Authors: Castelli Olvera Azul Kikey
Published: September 2024

Introducción: Se tiene como objetivo analizar la representación que hace Ángeles Cruz, de la tristeza como enfermedad espiritual derivada de la violencia sexual que se representa en su cortometraje La tiricia o cómo curarse la tristeza. Metodología: Cualitativa, recupera la propuesta de Bordwell, quien plantea dos categorías para el análisis cinematográfico: argumento y estilo, que abarcan aspectos formales y narrativos, se agrega la categoría de representaciones sociales de Abric para el análisis simbólico. Resultados y Discusión: el cine indígena en México se ha consolidado como una forma de resistencia a las narrativas impuestas por el cine occidental, tal es el caso del cine de Cruz, el cual se acerca al tema de mujeres y violencia sexual infantil, a partir de un proceso de representación de la tristeza y su curación desde la visión indígena. Conclusiones: El discurso de Cruz se desarrolla con base en situaciones reales o creencias que aún se reiteran en su comunidad sobre la violencia, el abandono y la pobreza que viven las mujeres. Aunado a lo anterior, muestra elementos de la cotidianidad y representaciones sociales de la tristeza y la sanación desde un pensamiento mágico- natural vinculado con la etnoterritorialidad.

La naturalización de la economía-política y su influencia en la biología darwiniana: Townsend, Malthus y el germen de la selección natural
Authors: Labrador-Montero Daniel
Published: September 2024

Introducción: La relación entre el origen de la biología evolucionista darwiniana y la economía política de corte liberal ha sido un caso de estudio relevante para historiadores y filósofos de la ciencia. Metodología: Este artículo explora, mediante un análisis exhaustivo de fuentes primarias y secundarias, cómo algunas nociones de la economía clásica, particularmente de la teoría de Malthus, influenciaron en las ideas de Darwin. Resultados: Se argumenta que el influjo de Malthus en la biología evolucionista no fue accidental. La economía política británica, desde los fisiócratas hasta Adam Smith y Joseph Townsend, naturalizó la economía, facilitando así el traslado conceptual a la biología. Discusión: Se defiende que Townsend precedió a Malthus en la naturalización de la economía, plantando semillas de una proto-concepción de la lucha por la existencia. Conclusiones: Este estudio reafirma la significativa repercusión de la economía política en la teoría de Darwin, concluyendo que la agudización de la naturalización de la economía política fue un elemento crucial para que tal influencia se produjera y fuera fructífera.

Introducción: la sociedad está cambiando en valores y consumo, con un mayor énfasis en la salud. Los consumidores buscan alimentos saludables y sostenibles, como productos ecológicos, que respeten el medio ambiente y su bienestar. Este trabajo investiga cómo interactúan los consumidores con el packaging. Metodología: experimento a un grupo de 30 jóvenes, a través de herramientas de neuromarketing (Eye Tracking y EEG), para comprobar si existen diferencias en las áreas de interés del packaging en alimentos Eco, funcionales (leche) versus emocionales (chocolate). Resultados: el Eye Tracking indica que los individuos enfocan su atención fundamentalmente en las características Eco de ambos productos. Permanecen más tiempo y visualizan más veces el contenido Eco del producto emocional y consideran la marca prescindible en ambos productos. El EEG muestra mayor rendimiento cerebral al manipular los productos y mayor conexión emocional que al verlos en pantalla. Discusión y conclusiones: para los registros realizados con la biometría EEG, los valores son mayores para el producto emocional, por lo que hay una mejor percepción del envase Eco del chocolate frente al envase Eco de la leche (a nivel emocional) cuando manipulan el producto, que con el Eye Tracking.

Al-Zughair Transform for Solving Ordinary Differential Equations with Constant Coefficients
Authors: Alzubaidy Haneen , Mohammed Ali
Published: September 2024

Abstract—Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are important in the field of mathematics due to their spread in various applications. Ordinary differential equations are of two types, one of which is equations with variable coefficients and the other is equations with constant coefficients. Many integral transforms have appeared that solve equations with variable coefficients, including Al-Zughair transform, which solves equations with variable coefficients, whose general formula is:

In this paper our aim is to solve ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients by using Al-Zughair transform. Although Al-Zughair transform was only used to solve equations with variable coefficients, we were able to use it to solve ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients because of its important in solving more complex equations.
Six Points Implicit Block Method with Extra Derivative for Solving Second Order Ordinary Differential Equations
Authors: Sajid Dahi Barakat , Turki Mohammed Yousif
Published: September 2024

The construction of the six-point block methods with extra derivatives for solving   directly is presented in this paper. The suggested block methods concurrently approximate the problem's solution at six points and are formulated using the Hermite Interpolating Polynomial. The block methods do not reduce the equation to a first-order system of initial value problems (IVPs); instead, they directly obtain the numerical solutions. Additionally, the order and zero-stability of the suggested techniques are examined. We present numerical results and draw comparisons with other block methods that are currently in use. The results demonstrate how effective the suggested approaches are at solving second-order IVPs in general.

Development of a method for assessing the degree of hydrogenation of titanium alloy VT1-0 by acoustic method
Authors: Khlybov A. A. , Uglov A. L. , Ryabov D. A.
Published: September 2024

In this paper, the possibilities of using a non-destructive acoustic method to determine the degree of hydrogenation of titanium alloy VT1-0 are investigated. The features of the use of various acoustic parameters for the construction of engineering techniques for determining the structural state of a titanium alloy at various stages of its hydrogenation are analyzed. A number of computational and experimental methods for determining the mass fraction of hydrogen in a titanium alloy are proposed, based on the use of its acoustic characteristics, which increase the accuracy and stability of the algorithms underlying the calculation part of the methods. The sources of errors of the proposed methods, the limits of their applicability, as well as the requirements for hardware and software for their implementation are analyzed. The results of acoustic measurements carried out on samples from the VT1-0 alloy are compared with the ideas about the patterns of its structural changes during its hydrogenation. The possibility of creating engineering algorithms for assessing the state of the material of products subjected to hydrogenation on the basis of experimental data obtained in order to prevent dangerous degradation of its operational properties is shown.
