Confronto tra modelli acustici e sorgenti di rumore misurate in impianti industriali complessi - Unità di produzione ammoniaca
Authors: Squadrone Giuseppe , Brunazzo Edoardo , Bosa Elena , Greco Emanuela , Barikchandra Antaryami , Sanchini Andrea
Published: September 2024

La progettazione del controllo del rumore degli impianti industriali è attualmente supportata dalla modellazione acustica. Il processo di messa a punto di questa modellazione consente una verifica progressiva del piano di progettazione del controllo del rumore complessivo, dalla fase di progettazione, quando sono stati acquisiti i dati acustici dichiarati o garantiti dal costruttore dell'apparecchiatura e sono stati progettati i sistemi di riduzione del rumore, allo stato di fatto, quando l'impianto è in esercizio. Come per altri settori dell'ingegneria, la modellazione del campo sonoro esterno degli impianti industriali copre l'intero progetto: all'inizio per impostare la valutazione di impatto ambientale, durante la progettazione per seguire l'idoneità delle forniture e pianificare i sistemi di mitigazione, dopo l'avviamento dell'impianto per mettere a disposizione un vero e proprio strumento utile al controllo dell'invecchiamento delle apparecchiature, per la pianificazione di future ristrutturazioni o per la progettazione di ulteriori impianti simili. In dettaglio, dopo la messa a punto di un elenco di sorgenti sonore, utilizzato per ottenere un modello preliminare del rumore, l'esecuzione di misure di rumore di campo, rappresentative della situazione reale, fornisce ulteriori informazioni per ottenere il bilanciamento finale delle sorgenti sonore e, come passo finale, lo sviluppo della mappa di rumore calcolata all'interno dell'impianto che corrisponde a quella misurata.

Authors: Cadieux Rebecca
Published: September 2024

Due to the limited research on the comparison of writing styles between fashion bloggers and fashion journalists, this study attempts to understand the changing nature of fashion journalism by analyzing the differences and similarities between the two practices and how journalistic confines have shifted since the evolution of social media. The research employs both a quantitative and qualitative approach. A content analysis of 48 social media publications and 84 publications of six well-established trade and consumer publications identified factors that impact writing styles. The quantitative approach included interviews with three different types of practitioners in the fashion media scene. Key findings that emerged from the content analysis and the interviews included that fashion bloggers adhere to the values of public service, autonomy, and immediacy. The results showed that they fail to adhere to the value of objectivity and ethics and that journalists cannot be fully replaced by fashion blogging. Their co-existence responds to the different needs of audiences.
Artificial Neural Network Modeling of AGET ATRP of MMA in an Emulsion Batch Reactor
Authors: Dawit Helen
Published: September 2024

Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization is known to produce 'tailor-made' polymers for special applications in biomedical areas. Running this polymerization in dispersed media is environmentally beneficial but presents challenges in developing a mechanistic model due to the heterogeneous medium and kinetic uncertainty. Alternatively, this thesis discusses an artificial neural network modeling approach to kinetically model the AGET ATRP process. This study develops a forward ANN to predict conversion and molecular weight and reverse ANN to predict reaction conditions using experimental data collected from past studies. Additional experimental work was done to confirm the previous data and the ANN's predicting capabilities. The results demonstrate that the proposed ANN models agree with experimental data with R values greater than 0.98 and can be used to predict AGET ATRP process performance and plan experimental scenarios. The study is a promising way for the design of an industrial ATRP process in dispersed media.

Published: September 2024

The article defines the features of formation of information and communication support of business processes of small business entities. It is noted that as an independent socioeconomic phenomenon, small entrepreneurship in Ukraine develops in difficult conditions of the establishing market economy and faces numerous problems. Small enterprises receive some support, but a competitive entrepreneurial type of business has not yet been entitative. As before, the main goals of Ukraine’s economic policy remain the achievement of full employment, economic growth, support of the national currency, preservation of foreign economic balance and improvement of the living standards of the majority of citizens. An organizational and economic model of the use of information and communication technologies in the business processes of the small business entity has been built. It is specified that the main elements of information and communication support of business processes of small business entities should comprise: goals and objectives; objects and subjects; management functions; performance indicators; principles; methods; instruments; mechanism; terms of security; culture of use; requirements of internal and external stakeholders of business entities. It is further noted that in the modern economy there are all opportunities for the expansive development of economic entities. Today, increased competition reduces the profitability of products (services), and new network technologies make the market more transparent. The Internet can be very useful for national companies, as it simplifies strategic decision-making when doing business and choosing development strategies. It is noted that today small businesses can also use electronic trading platforms, online auctions, websites of the tax and customs administrations available on the Internet. In general, modern ICTs allow small business entities to reduce operating and transaction costs, as well as keep prices low to make them global. It is concluded that the introduction of new information and communication technologies in internal and external communications of small businesses during martial law in our country will lead to the development of small business entities, optimization of business processes, improvement of quality and competitiveness of products (services).

Authors:   National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine, Kovalskii Yurii V.
Published: September 2024

The purpose of the study is to study the theoretical basis for the formation and functioning of logistics chains in commodity markets and to model the logistics chain in the grain market in Ukraine. It is determined that the theoretical basis for the formation of logistics chains in commodity markets is the scientific achievements of the theories of world economic thought, in particular, the theories of detailed presentation, both descriptive and normative, are analyzed and structured. It is defined that theories of detailed exposition are theories that describe the cause-and-effect interdependencies of the elements of cooperation; descriptive theories – focus on the development and improvement of the conceptual and categorical apparatus; normative theories are based on the foundations of law. The authors’ own definition of the concept of «logistics chains of commodity markets» is proposed: it is a system of organizations, processes and actions aimed at the effective movement of goods from the manufacturer to the final consumer in the market; this system includes all stages of the supply of goods (production, transportation, storage, marketing, sales and customer service); the logistics chain in the commodity market focuses on meeting the needs of customers and maximizing their satisfaction through the rapid and efficient supply of the necessary goods; the main goal of creating a logistics chain is to provide the highest level of customer service, reduce costs and optimize all processes related to the movement and management of the movement of goods in the market. Based on the analysis of the theoretical basis for the formation and optimization of logistic chains, a scheme of the logistics chain in the grain market of Ukraine has been proposed. It includes 9 stages: from the cultivation of grain crops to distribution and sale either within the national market or on the international market. The number of stages of the logistics chain may vary depending on the hypothesis regarding its formation and further development.
Exploring the Use of Subtitling in Teaching and Learning English as a Foreign Language: Theories and Applications
Authors: Mansour K. Aldanani
Published: September 2024

Technology occupies a significant resource that can be exploited empirically to contribute to translation learning and research, as it can give enormous opportunities for language learners and educators to exploit in their teaching and provide students with practical learning activities. Many researchers highly recommend the extensive use of IT in enhancing the competence of translation students and L2 learners' language skills. Since there has been an abundance of empirical research studies carried out over the last two decades, many novice researchers cannot review and handle them within their limited time. For this reason, this paper introduces the key researchers who carried out studies on the employment of audiovisual translation (AVT) in language learning and teaching; it explores and reviews the main previous research studies conducted on the impact of audiovisual translation, namely subtitling and subtitles on enhancing language learning.  It first considers briefly how audiovisual translation emerged as an independent branch of Translation Studies (ST), then discusses its development as well as its continuity within Translation Studies.  It also explores its classifications and highlights future research avenues.
Abjection and Exclusion in Doris Lessing’s The Fifth Child
Authors: Wu Lanxiang
Published: September 2024

Doris Lessing’s 1988 novella The Fifth Child tells the story of Ben Lovatt, a so-called “monstrous child” in the eyes of his family. In light of Julia Kristeva’s illustration of abjection, it can be seen that Ben’s otherness has unsettled the conventional assumption about children, and his physical and behavioral differences, viewed as a threat to the idealized family life, accounts for his fate of being excluded and rejected. In consideration of the contextualized descriptions in the book and the political background in which the story is set, it is reasonable to assume that what happens to Ben is indicative of what the non-European immigrants went through in the post-war Britian. The exclusive attitude of the Lovatts towards Ben bears much resemblance to the nationwide rejection of the “dark strangers” who brought with them different customs and values. In this sense, the story of Ben, a heterogenetic other who challenges the fixed perception of what British children should look like, can be taken as a mirror which reflects, in the time of social change, how the British society tackled difference in culture.

Identifying price fluctuation patterns between traditional, alternative energy resources of raw material origin and the systemic world transformations is vital in understanding the variability of stable and effective functioning of relevant assets at different stages of economic waves in the context of global environmental challenges. This study was aimed at examining the dynamics of irregularity in the prices of various energy resources derived from raw materials in the global economy as investment assets within the framework of global economic changes. The price pattern of conventional and alternative energy resources on the global market were also examined alongside the connection between them and the price of electricity. The study made use of the monitoring method and the comparison method of various energy resources in terms of costs, availability, the influence they have on the market, and how they differ from each other. Secondary data was also collected from monographs and publications by Ukrainians and international experts on the subject matter. The analysis of the structure of energy resources was done in a retrospective manner following the reporting format of international organizations chosen as a base. Results revealed that the price dependency of traditional and renewable energy sources differs. While traditional energy is connected to economic cycles, the price of renewable energy is more influenced by technological advancements and less by global economic cycles. It is interesting to note that the price of renewable energy is mostly unaffected by global challenges and crises. The study recommend the results to be applied in national strategies for forecasting prices and modelling market conditions and consumer demand.
Remixing Special Education Practices with Artificial Intelligence: UDL, EBP, and HLPs
Authors: Mcmahon Don , Firestone Jonah
Published: September 2024

This article presents engaging and practical methods of helping educators to “remix” the evidence-based and high-leverage practices they are already familiar with to include the new capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI). Transformational modern technologies can be powerful and disruptive, possessing the potential to impact multiple areas of society, including education. One of the best ways for educators to implement AI in their teaching is using it to help support and extend their current practices (Mishra et al., 2023). Similar to how a new remix on the radio can make an old favorite song fresh again, educators can use AI to uphold and enhance their existing instructional strategies and skills. However, adapting to the new paradigm of AI in education may be challenging for teacher preparation programs in special education. The authors of this article apply some of the strategies from “Leveraging Emerging Technology to Design an Inclusive Future with Universal Design for Learning” (McMahon & Walker, 2019) to effectively implement AI in education. Rather than needing to start fresh or relearn how to teach while incorporating AI, teachers can view this article as a foundation for how to apply AI tools to support current practice. The recommendations are based on Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and strategies for adapting AI tools to support high-leverage practices and established evidence-based practices. The authors aim to inspire special educators to start using AI to help “remix” and innovate the implementation of their existing instructional strategies.

Published: September 2024

This paper explores the processes involved in talent acquisition practices, including recruitment, selection, and professional development within the context of private schools in Greece. Unlike the standardized recruitment and selection processes observed in the Greek public educational sector, which assess formal qualifications alongside social criteria, the private sector in Greece adopts a talent acquisition approach primarily based on job-matching theory. The theoretical section of the paper examines the divergence in talent acquisition processes between the Greek public and private educational sectors. In the empirical research section, the study presents findings from qualitative research conducted through semi-structured interviews with 15 managers from private schools in Northern Greece. Thematic analysis was employed for data analysis, with convenience sampling utilized as the sampling method. The research aims to capture managers' perspectives on selection methods, training practices, and professional development initiatives for educational staff. The findings highlight the emphasis placed on soft skills during the recruitment process, the diverse blend of skills and qualifications that form the occupational profile demanded and the significant role of managers in facilitating the professional growth of educational staff.

Technological advances in sports testing and measurement are expanding, but there is a notable gap in research focused on physical conditioning tests for athletes with disabilities. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of footwork ability test technology for para badminton athletes. A quantitative descriptive design was employed, involving trials with both the footwork ability test technology and conventional methods. The subjects were National Para Badminton Athletes of Malaysia, selected through purposive sampling for their relevance to the research objectives. The study utilized a footwork ability test device, whose validity and reliability were assessed in comparison to conventional tests. Data were analyzed using percentage calculation techniques to determine effectiveness and error rates. Results indicate that the footwork ability test technology achieved an effectiveness rate of 97.1%, demonstrating superior performance with a lower error rate than conventional tests. This indicates the technology's suitability for athletes with disabilities, including those categorized as lower standing, upper standing, and short stature. The findings suggest significant potential for broader application in various sports disciplines. Future research should explore the technology's adaptability to different sports and environmental conditions, contributing to more inclusive and advanced training methodologies for athletes with disabilities.

O Transtorno do Processamento Auditivo Central (TPAC) é definido como um déficit no processamento neural dos estímulos auditivos e pode coexistir ou estar associado a alterações do desenvolvimento de linguagem e/ou quadros neurológicos. Alterações neste processamento podem levar a prejuízos no desempenho acadêmico, atraso de linguagem, dificuldade para entender apropriadamente o que é dito e dificuldade de aprendizagem, o que muitas vezes pode ser confundido com diferentes patologias da infância. Este estudo teve como objetivo aplicar o questionário Scale of Auditory Behaviors (SAB) em crianças entre 10 e 11 anos em uma escola municipal de Lages/SC para identificar possíveis crianças com TPAC. O questionário foi preenchido pelos pais ou responsáveis após a assinatura do Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido (TCLE). Apresenta uma proposta de estudo descritivo transversal, com abordagem quantitativa de caráter descritivo e exploratório. A pesquisa envolveu 34 crianças matriculadas no 5° e 6° ano. Entre as crianças avaliadas 5 (14,71%) apresentaram escore final indicando uma avaliação formal do processamento auditivo central e 3 (8,82%) com valores indicativos de distúrbio do processamento auditivo central, com necessidade de investigação e acompanhamento a longo prazo. Os resultados, embora limitados pela amostra, sugerem que parte dos participantes necessitariam de avaliação complementar. Enfatiza-se, portanto, a relevância de futuras pesquisas com maior número de participantes e testes auditivos em conjunto para maior conhecimento populacional, identificação e tratamento do TPAC.

Objective: To map the nursing focus in the existing literature on school-age children undergoing ENT surgery and their families, as well as their respective clinical data, nursing diagnoses, and nursing interventions.  Methods: This scoping review will adhere to the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines for Scoping Reviews and will consider published and unpublished evidence in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Databases including MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Scopus, JBI Evidence Synthesis and SciELO, along with sources of unpublished literature, such as ProQuest Dissertations and Theses and Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto em Portugal, will also be searched for relevant studies. No cultural or geographical limitations will be applied. The study selection process will be reported using the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Results: Two reviewers will independently extract the data using an extraction table. The first step is to identify the nursing focus, followed by presenting the remaining elements, specifically data, diagnoses and nursing interventions, organised in a figure that shows the relationships between them. Conclusion: By systematically presenting the current state of nursing knowledge in this field, this review will provide a foundation for enhancing clinical decision-making, improving the quality of nursing care delivered to school-age children undergoing ENT surgery and their families, and identifying areas for future research.

A eutanásia, embora ilegal no Brasil, é amplamente discutida no âmbito jurídico. Em contraste, a ortotanásia, morte sem sofrimento e no tempo certo, e distanásia, morte com prolongamento de vida e penosa, são pouco debatidas e não esclarecidas na legislação. Esta falta de discussão influencia a tomada de decisões no legislativo baseadas em interesses pessoais ou corporativos, negligenciando a dignidade humana. Destaca-se a importância de respeitar a autonomia do paciente para garantir uma morte digna e criminalizar a distanásia. O objetivo do presente artigo é apresentar uma revisão narrativa de literatura sobre a distanásia e ortotanásia, utilizando as bases BVS e SciELO. Além de uma análise crítica da obra “Ensaios em Bioética” de Rui Nunes. Foram selecionados 18 artigos relevantes, além de análises da Constituição, Código de Ética Médica e Código Penal, para uma compreensão abrangente dos aspectos legais, sociais e éticos. As tecnologias que permitem o prolongamento artificialmente a vida dos pacientes influenciam a prática de distanásia, condenada pelo Código de Ética Médica brasileiro. A prevenção quartenária visa proteger pacientes de intervenções excessivas. No entanto, a legislação brasileira sobre a finitude da vida é escassa e confusa, levando à marginalização da ortotanásia e a prática da distanásia pelos médicos.  Projetos de lei frequentemente não diferenciam eutanásia e distanásia, sendo influenciados por dogmas morais e religiosos que desconsideram a dignidade do paciente. A ampliação do debate da morte e a criação de uma legislação clara garantirão a autonomia do paciente essencial para garantir uma morte digna com ortotanásia e evitar a distanásia.
