3D Media in the Transversal Era
Authors: Bauer DB
Published: April 2024

Transversal media move. They move with ease across a variety of interfaces, formats, materials, software, hardware, uses, and communities of practice.1 In this article, transversal media is an umbrella term used to classify media objects with the same underlying form that takes shape across a variety of materialities through freeze and flow states. Specific to 3D data, 3D transversal media are a distinct media type that have emerged from the development and proliferation of 3D media technologies, specifically the 3D printer, 3D scanner, and extended reality (XR) devices. The central characteristic of 3D transversal media is the ability to move back and forth across digital and atomic forms. Transversality offers an alternative to understanding and speaking of the digital and atomic as opposites, while also acknowledging the differences and similarities across those material transmutations. For instance, the same 3D transversal media object can be many things simultaneously: an animation on a screen, an object inside a virtual reality experience, a 3D-printed plastic figurine, a projected hologram, and more. This article tracks the complexities of 3D transversal media when they move across their individual and networked states, and moreover, the linked cultural and technological significance of that movement. This approach reveals how technology and media can inherit and reproduce hegemonic cultural ideologies and practices—whether intentional or not. To concretize this, the article concludes with a case study on Thutmose’s well-known bust of Nefertiti, now a 3D transversal object, and how its transversal affordances converge and interact with global cultural politics—specifically in this case, those related to colonialism and imperialism.
Unanticipated Outcomes

In contexts where political corruption is endemic, why would political elites build state capacity to prosecute corruption? Prior studies emphasize exogenous pressure from social movements or international organizations and the rise of political leaders committed to fighting corruption. While important, these factors are not sufficient to explain the case of Brazil, where politicians empowered investigative bureaucracies, even though several political elites later became victims of prosecution. Drawing on document analysis of charges and sentences and on 110 in-depth interviews with prosecutors, judges, and politicians, I develop a framework that focuses on the processes through which corruption is criminalized on the ground. By examining the initiatives of politicians in interaction with the actions of civil servants who investigate and prosecute cases of corruption, I show that political elites empowered investigators because, at the time, these steps seemed innocuous. Prosecutors later reframed how they talked about corruption—getting other colleagues to pay attention to this issue—and learned new strategies to uncover corruption schemes, but these changes happened under the radar: they were not visible to politicians. Popular pressure also led courts to broaden the definition of corruption and lower the threshold of evidence for it, but these decisions took place after the politicians’ actions.

Social Exclusion and Hatred Towards Children from Alcoholic Families in Peer Environment. Peculiarities of Pedagogical Support
Authors: Mączyńska Anna
Published: April 2024

The article emphasizes that the family is the main environment of life. If it is a dysfunctional family, all its problems can have a negative impact on the development and upbringing of children. Unfortunately, the key dysfunction in the case of Poland is alcoholism. Therefore, the study emphasizes that the situation of a child growing up in an alcoholic family depends on many factors related to the functioning of the family environment. The addiction of one or both parents, the degree of degradation of family life and the availability of external support are of particular importance here. All of this can lead to social exclusion and hatred of children growing up in families with alcohol problems by their peers. The author proves the need to help children growing up in problematic families, since they are characterized not only by social isolation, but also by bullying or cyberbullying. It is pointed out that the traumatic experience and suffering of such children often go beyond the family environment, where they experience academic failures, difficulties in relationships with peers, etc. The article notes that the consequences of various traumas in the educational or family environment experienced in childhood can have a long-lasting impact on their lives; some of these minors may also become addicted to alcohol, imitating their parents. Therefore, it is important for educators and social workers to develop appropriate strategies for effective psychological and pedagogical support of such families, in particular while raising children.
Formation of Primary School Children’s Speech Competence: War Vocabulary
Authors: Derkachova Olga , Dybovska Olesia
Published: April 2024

The article highlights the peculiarities of the formation of primary school children’s speech competence during the war. The war vocabulary is analyzed. It is noted that speech competence is an important component of the formation of a primary school children language identity. The attention is focused on the fact that children use military and war lexis actively, and this is not surprising, as Ukrainian children are children of war. It is proved that the formation of children's speech competence in the conditions of war is possible with careful work on the oral and written speech of schoolchildren. The peculiarities of the use of war words by primary schoolchildren in their oral and written speech was analyzed as well as war vocabulary in drawings and letters to the Ukrainian soldiers. The questionnaire revealed what words such children use in everyday communication, whether they know the meaning of these words, including new ones, and identified the most commonly used items and phrases. Most of them refer to Ukrainian soldiers, weapons, and equipment. The letters express appreciation and admiration for Ukrainian heroes and produce prayers for their safe lives. The children’s written speech is more controlled and restrained than their oral speech, but at the same time keeps childish emotions and spontaneity. In their oral speech, they use phrases familiar to all Ukrainians that have arisen since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, they know many songs, mostly “adult”, written during the years of 2022-23. These lexis and phraseology are a part of the vocabulary of a modern primary schoolchild and define the peculiarities of the speech of the children of war.

Authors: Humeniuk Iryna , Humeniuk Mykhailo
Published: April 2024

The article analyzes the criterion and level aspect of the experimental research into the effectiveness of the methodical system of teaching Ukrainian Language for Professional Purposes. The tasks have been performed in the context of teaching the academic discipline to students of specialties 012 Preschool Education and 013 Primary Education. The terminological base of the study has been formed based on interpretation of the concepts: “criterion,” “indicator,” “level,” and “competence paradigm”. In accordance with the research aim, the criteria for assessing the formation of students’ professional competences have been substantiated. The cognitive and motivational criterion is singled out to illustrate the formation of the knowledge, professional and motivational components of students’ training, which include the system of content-based interdisciplinary connections in the theoretical unit of the academic discipline Ukrainian Language for Professional Purposes. The operation and activity-based criterion has been introduced to determine the level of formation of students’ abilities and skills to operate the acquired knowledge in practice, create secondary texts using samples and auxiliary means (dictionaries, schemes, spelling, etc.), and act according to an algorithm. The professional and creative criterion illustrates the ability of future specialists in pedagogy for productive and creative application of acquired abilities and skills in changeable conditions and independent activity at the analytical and synthetic level. The developed criteria are the main parameters for determining the level of formation of the predicted ability of students at higher education institutions for practical professional and pedagogical activity. According to each criterion, the indicators of formation of students’ professional competences have been determined: discursive, documentary, general scientific, information technology, entrepreneurial, editorial, and terminological. Based on the criteria and their indicators, three levels of formation of the studied ability have been established, and the selection of their nominations has been substantiated: sufficient, satisfactory, and initial. The materials provided in the article are a part of the experimental research shown in the author's doctoral dissertation: Humeniuk I. M. “Methodical System of Teaching Ukrainian Language for Professional Purposes to Students at Pedagogical Institutions of Higher Education”, 13.00.02 “Theory and Methods of Teaching (Ukrainian language)”, 2023.
Health-Promoting Models of Behavior of Foreign Children in Polish Schools: Research Study
Authors: Nazaruk Stanisława , Sokołowska Barbara , Dąbrowska Izabela
Published: April 2024

The article presents the results of the research concerning pedagogical observations of selected features characterizing the health-promoting models of behaviour in children and adolescents. The observations were conducted by teachers working in primary schools in Poland. The selection of the sample for the study was purposeful as it targeted foreign students attending primary schools in Poland in rural or urban areas. Altogether, the teachers carried out 211 pedagogical observations, which were then subjected to statistical analysis. Taking up the research topic in the assessment of health-promoting models of behaviour in children and adolescents is a current scientific issue due to the fact that the above-mentioned models of behaviour constitute the basis for the proper development of young people and determine the state of human health in childhood, as well as adulthood. On the other hand, conducting the research on a group of foreign children who came to Poland in recent years, mainly from Ukraine, will help diagnose their learned behaviours in times when they lack peaceful life. The research results will be helpful in school practice for Polish teachers in undertaking targeted educational activities and, if necessary, conducting interventions for those in need of support. Health-promoting models of behaviour are indicators of attitudes towards health, which result from the values adopted by individuals. Therefore, the need to advise, support and help young people to shape them properly should be emphasized.
Learning to Live Together. A Key Educational Challenge of our Time
Authors: Chang Hiang-Chu Ausilia
Published: April 2024

The commitment of learning to live together / with others is considered a key educational challenge of our time. A challenge that we cannot exempt ourselves from because it is an indispensable task for all, without exception. On the basis of contributions by some international organizations - in particular, UNESCO and the Council of Europe - the author focuses on the need to educate people to live together in the culture of human rights. The author presents UNESCO's permanent program Education for All as a way of living together, and considers the inclusive education, the quality education, the integral education and education to solidarity as a way forward for the future, and the intercultural education as a strategy of living together. The author concludes by highlighting that these perspectives, and so the same Education for All, must be set on the path of learning to love in order to succeed, addressing the most vulnerable segments of society, including refugees affected by war, natural disasters and poverty. This emerges as a global challenge today and a consideration absent in the already examined prospects which seems a rare consideration outside the Catholic circles. Confronted with the present circumstances, which include not only wars and organized violence but also a monumental climate catastrophe, it is now crucial to rediscover the profound essence of education and the pedagogical contemplation that enlightens educational endeavors, befitting human dignity. Undoubtedly, the prospects involve instilling the principles of living together through early childhood education, practicing democratic values, fostering serene coexistence, peace, and solidarity, while respecting and promoting the fundamental rights of all human beings. Despite the challenging situations witnessed globally, this vision may seem like an unattainable utopia, but it remains a crucial goal for the future.

Published: April 2024

Digital image correlation (DIC) was used to examine the strain distribution of heat-treated beech and Uludag fir woods in mechanical testing. It also evaluated the effects of the heat treatment process on the properties of the wood samples. The physical (mass/density loss, dimensional stability, color change, and surface roughness), mechanical (flexure test and compressive strength), morphological, thermal, and structural properties of the heat-treated wood were examined. It was determined that the heat treatment parameters can be optimized using the DIC method. The test results showed that although heat treatment can provide improved physical and thermal properties, it caused micro-crack formations and collapses in the wood cells. As a consequence, the mechanical properties of the heat-treated wood materials decreased with the heat treatment process. There were slight differences in the curves of the samples according to Fourier infrared and X-ray diffraction analyses. Morphological characterization showed that the heat treatment triggered large cracks in the cell wall and lumens and the morphological structure of heat-treated wood was affected at large percentages.
Evaluation of print mottle of double coated paper by octave band filtering technique
Authors: Im Wanhee , Youn Hye Jung , Lee Hak Lae
Published: April 2024

The effects of the pre-coating color formulation, dwell time, and coat weights of pre- and top- coating layers on print mottle of double-coated paper were investigated using an octave band filtering image processing technique. To investigate the effect of pre-coating color formulations, six types of coating colors were used. Mottle index and coefficient of variance (COV) of double-coated paper increased as the size of pre-coating pigment particles decreased, which was attributed to the reduction in relative pore size of the pre-coating layer. Decreasing the dwell time decreased transfer time from the coating head to dryer of a Maiyoh coater. As the transfer time to dryer decreased, the mottle index and COV increased because of uneven distribution of latex within the coating layer. Pre-coat weight was found to have a greater impact on print mottle than the top-coat weight.

The rheological properties of fibre-water suspensions are of critical importance in many of the papermaking processes from stock preparation (beating, screening, fractionation, cleaning) through transport and distribution (pumping, pipe flow, headbox flow), to the actual forming process (dispersion in headbox and forming zone, dewatering). The limitations of existing techniques for measuring velocity and turbulence as well as concentration and flocculation in pulp suspensions are discussed. The major recent fundamental investigations of fibre suspension flow in pipes are critically reviewed within the framework of the three basic flow mechanisms (plug, mixed and turbulent flow) and the three basic study levels (empirical, network and fibre). It is concluded that the varied and complex flow phenomena exhibited by the suspensions, from plug flow through to turbulent flow, are controlled by the same variables at the fibre level : the volumetric concentration, aspect ratio and modulus of elasticity of the fibres. Recent investigations of flocculation and turbulence are critically reviewed, and it is found that no reliable measurements of turbulence in fibre suspensions have been reported. A new investigation of elongational pipe flow is presented.

Authors: Tiwari Arun Kumar , Gupta Pushpraj S , Prasad Mahesh
Published: April 2024

Objective: Ischemia of the heart is one of the major cause behind diabetes mediate death in peoples. PI3K/Akt phosphorylation is inhibited in IPC-induced infarcts, preventing the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP). In diabetics, the beneficial effects are lessened. IPC-mediated cardioprotection in diabetic Wistar rat hearts was observed in this study after pre-treatment with Inula racemosa Hook root extract (IrA). Ischemia reperfusion (I / R) and cycles of IPC were performed on an isolated rat heart mounted on Langendorff's assembly. MPTP is opened by atractyloside (ATR). Method: RP-HPLC and 1H and 13C NMR were used to identify the chemical components. Western blot, oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, integrity, and haemodynamic parameters are all examined in this study. Result: Pretreatment with IrA reduced LDH, CKMB, myocardial infarction size, ventricular fibrillation, and cardiac collagen content, as well as decreased oxidative stress levels and mitochondrial dysfunction in diabetic rat hearts in all groups, according to the data. By blocking the opening of MPTP in diabetic rats, ATR reduced the cardioprotective effect of IrA on IPC. Conclusion: This shows that IPC-mediated cardioprotection can be restored by pre-treatment with IrA, which inhibits the opening of the MPTP in diabetic rats.

Manohar Malgonkar as a Feminist
Authors: Jaiswal Anil Kumar , Shanker Rama
Published: April 2024

This research paper illustrates the concept of female characters in the novels of Manohar Malgonkar. Branded as an entertainer and story teller, the deeper qualities of his fiction have been neglected or unperceived by many. The various articles by commentators do not seem to bring out the merits of the author as a significant Indo-English novelist. The few researchers who have taken up his novels seem to have failed to highlight his exceptional command over the English language. A casual reading of his novels may make the reader fall in line with the biased comments made by earlier critics. It is also intended to bring out a balanced view of the greatness of the author. Succumbing to this temptation also, this attempt to study the concept of women versus tradition in Malgonkar’s novels is made here. In this study I have taken up his five full-fledged and mature novels to explain Malgonkar as a feminist - Distant Drum, Combat of Shadows, The Princess, A Bend in the Ganges, and The Devil’s Wind. Key words: Traditions, Inferiority complex, Anglo-Indian, Orthodox, Reminiscence, Relationship, and Domination, Feminism etc.

Published: April 2024

Background and Study Aim. Today, professional sports are a powerful social phenomenon that is developing at a high rate both in terms of sports and in terms of business. It is natural that various factors influence this process throughout the history of its formation and development. Study Aim: to identify the key factors that influenced and influence the formation and development of professional sport in Europe and North America.

Material and Methods. The main materials for the research were data from historical and modern materials regarding various factors that determined and determine now the peculiarities of professional sport development in Europe and North America. Methods: analysis and synthesis, historical method, systematic approach, theoretical interpretation and explanation.

Results. Given the global phenomenon of professional sport in the modern world, it should be noted that its structure and effectiveness depend from a wide range of factors, both the external environment and those related to the construction of internal mechanisms of professional sports organizations. Among them: globalization, geopolitical and economic trends, transformation of information and communication technologies, crisis social factors, sports migration, population and demographic ratios in the country, monopoly and competition in the professional sports arena in relation to the coexistence of different organizations in one sport, the focus of professional leagues on higher efficiency. Among the factors that have a negative impact on the development of professional sport today should be noted corruption aspects of professional sports activities.

Conclusions. The nature of the influence of these factors is determined by the territorial affiliation of professional sport organizations, as there are certain traditions and legal frameworks of their operation in the United States and various European countries, which have significant differences. At the same time, today the North American remains a more effective model of professional sport development in terms of organizational and economic efficiency.

Published: April 2024

Background and Study Aim. Based on research results, it has been established that various types of sports games and sports and health tourism are the most popular among schoolchildren and students. Various movements and actions in volleyball have great health benefits. They help strengthen the musculoskeletal system, improve overall metabolism, increase the activity of all organs and systems of all organisms and are a means of active recreation. In the conditions of hiking trip, a particularly important role is played by the high adaptive abilities of the body, based on the reactivity and lability of functional systems. The purpose of the study was to determine the influence of volleyball and sports and health tourism on the physical, mental and social health of schoolchildren and students.

Material and Methods. The study involved 60 schoolchildren and 60 male students. Schoolchildren and students were divided into two groups (30 people in each group), who were engaged in volleyball and sports and health tourism sections. The study used methods to assess physical, mental and social health; level of satisfaction with quality of life; well-being, activity and mood.

Results. The best indicators for physical health among schoolchildren and students were obtained in favor of those involved in sports and health tourism (p<0,05-0,01). The best level of mental and social health was found among students who spent a year studying in sports and health tourism sections (p<0,05-0,01), while schoolchildren, on the contrary, had the best results obtained from those who were involved in team sports.

Conclusions. The results of the study indicate that playing sports games (volleyball and basketball) and sports and health tourism have a positive effect on the physical, mental and social health of schoolchildren and students. These studies indicate that school-age children are characterized by team sports, which are more emotional and serve as an effective means of physical education for this age category. Students are more interested in organizing classes in sports and health tourism, which include participation in competitions in various types of tourism and weekend trips held in the fresh air.

Thus, it can be stated that the influence of sports games and sports and health tourism on the psychological sphere of schoolchildren and students contributes to positive changes in their psyche, creates a persistent, cheerful, active state, generating positive emotions and ensures increased satisfaction with life in general, which in turn affects the health of children and youth.

The article is devoted to a subplot of molestation of a girl, which is repeated in several works by F. M. Dostoevsky, in the context of the 19th-century legislation. We focus on two works: “Crime and Punishment” and the chapter “At Tikhon’s” that was originally intended to be a part of “Demons”. Molestation occurs in both texts, and there are intersections in a number of details. Both victims (the drowned girl and Matresha) are poorly socialized and suffer from abuse in their families. Both girls are fourteen years old. Researchers have already pointed out that a possible source for this plot was an article in “Severnaya pchela” covering the suicide of a thirteen-year-old girl, Marfa Arkhipova, who was accused of stealing. Dostoevsky significantly expanded the plot, adding molestation and making the girls older. This article is intended to prove that the change in victim’s age was not accidental. The age of fourteen years in the 19th-century legislation is the boundary that separates sexual crimes in general from sexual crimes against children. There was no direct ban on such plots in censorship regulations. However, it appears that an author who decided to depict this crime would at least have to deal with their editor’s discontent. This is exactly what happened with the chapter “At Tikhon’s,” when M. N. Katkov, the editor of “Russkiy Vestnik,” refused to publish it. It is difficult to speculate and say what reaction this text would have caused among censors, and readers — if published. We know, however, that this subplot later served as a reason for N. N. Strakhov to accuse Dostoevsky of pedophilia.

Plankton studies in Guatemala are associated with the history of harmful algal blooms (HAB). An important event was observed in 1987, with 193 human poisonings due to shellfish consumption, of which 22 were lethal. The causative organism was Pyrodinium bahamense var. compressum. This species was reported again in November 2019 in the coastal Guatemalan Pacific. The species reached an abundance of 1 × 104 cells/L. In September 2020, the abundance of the Margalefidinium polykrikoides vegetative stage reached 1.24 × 106 cells/L, and its cysts 1.5 × 106 cells/L. Noctiluca scintillans proliferated (the first quantitatively estimated bloom of this species in Guatemala) in November 2020 and March 2021 (up to 1.2 × 106 cells/L). From January to December 2021, monthly monitoring was carried out in front of the Port of Quetzal at three sites (bottle and 25 μm mesh net samples). In April 2022, 11 cases of humans presenting symptoms of paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) were recorded in the western sector of the Guatemalan Pacific, in particular, in the municipality of Tiquisate in the department of Escuintla. From May 3 to 27, 2022, a HAB event caused the death of 4 and the poisoning of 34 humans in the departments near Mexico: Retalhuleu (Champerico), San Marcos (Tilapa) and Escuintla (Tiquisate, Buena Vista and Iztapa). The maximum saxitoxin (STX) concentration was determined in Retalhuleu (14,099 MU/100 g); until 7 July 2022, STX continued to be detected in Tilapa and Tiquisate (1,021 MU/100 g). The P. bahamense cells were observed in the stomach contents of the clam Tagelus sp. (Bivalvia: Solecurtidae).

This paper examines the trends in the use of the Dice (Czekanowski-Sørensen) similarity index in studies of algae and cyanoprokaryotes. A concise overview of the characteristics of this metric is provided, considering its positive aspects and limitations. The relevance of the work is justified by the researchers' need for automation of Dice index calculations and the construction of resulting matrices. The article proposes a method for automating calculations using macros in the Excel environment. The authors provide an overview of the possibilities of this approach and offer their own macro for fast and convenient calculation of the Dice index without the need for third-party programs or formulas.
From Cotton Mather to Dr Fauci: Historical Markers of Vaccine Hesitancy
Authors: Eichman Destri , Bichianu Dana
Published: April 2024

Vaccine hesitancy became an important topic in the public discourse and academic research during the COVID-19 pandemic, but its history is as long as the history of immunization. One can find the same determinants of vaccine hesitancy, though in variable proportions, since the 1721 Boston smallpox epidemic. We aim to describe several historical immunization moments and analyze them using the vaccine hesitancy framework of the “5Cs” (ie, confidence, complacency, constraints, risk calculation, and collective responsibility).

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

The American Academy of Pediatrics designed The Injury Prevention Program (TIPP) in 1983 to help pediatricians prevent unintentional injuries, but TIPP’s effectiveness has never been formally evaluated. We sought to evaluate the impact of TIPP on reported injuries in the first 2 years of life.

METHODS

We conducted a stratified, cluster-randomized trial at 4 academic medical centers: 2 centers trained their pediatric residents and implemented TIPP screening and counseling materials at all well-child checks (WCCs) for ages 2 to 24 months, and 2 centers implemented obesity prevention. At each WCC, parents reported the number of child injuries since the previous WCC. Proportional odds logistic regression analyses with generalized estimating equation examined the extent to which the number of injuries reported were reduced at TIPP intervention sites compared with control sites, adjusting for baseline child, parent, and household factors.

RESULTS

A total of 781 parent–infant dyads (349 TIPP; 432 control) were enrolled and had sufficient data to qualify for analyses: 51% Hispanic, 28% non-Hispanic Black, and 87% insured by Medicaid. Those at TIPP sites had significant reduction in the adjusted odds of reported injuries compared with non-TIPP sites throughout the follow-up (P = .005), with adjusted odds ratios (95% CI) of 0.77 (0.66–0.91), 0.60 (0.44–0.82), 0.32 (0.16–0.62), 0.26 (0.12–0.53), and 0.27 (0.14–0.52) at 4, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS

In this cluster-randomized trial with predominantly low-income, Hispanic, and non-Hispanic Black families, TIPP resulted in a significant reduction in parent-reported injuries. Our study provides evidence for implementing the American Academy of Pediatrics’ TIPP in routine well-child care.

Nowadays, computing capabilities are gaining high performance. Software development has a very positive impact on the СAE of a system. A modern engineer always has tools in his arsenal that allow him not only to design but also to calculate a structure. Predict where the potential destruction will be, etc. Improving the mass sophistication of fuel tanks in rocket and space technology (RST) is an important task to ensure the safety and reliability of space missions. Fuel tanks are critical components of rocket and space technology, as they provide fuel storage and supply during launch and flight. Due to the high technical requirements for these systems, it is important to continuously improve their design and production to ensure high quality and reliability. This article highlights the main aspects of improving the mass sophistication of fuel tanks in RCTs by comparing the classical manufacturing of a wafer tank structure and a composite combination tank. First of all, it discusses the key requirements and standards that are defined for fuel tanks in order to ensure safety and efficiency.The article goes on to analyze the various methods and technologies used to manufacture and control the quality of fuel tanks, including the manufacture of tanks using traditional methods (wafer structures) and composite fuel tank winding. It analyzes the strength and durability of both designs and provides practical recommendations for the development of composite products. Finally, it highlights potential challenges and prospects for development in this area, such as the introduction of new materials, improved manufacturing processes, and the introduction of the latest numerical modeling techniques. Analysis and research of these issues can further improve the mass sophistication of fuel tanks in rocket and space technology and increase the overall reliability of space missions
