THE ROLE OF HIGHER MOMENTS ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF PARTICLES IN THE SPACE OF IMPULSES AT CYCLOTRON RESONANCES
Authors: Buts V.A. , Kuzmin V.V.
Published: August 2023

The results of the analysis of the dynamics of charged particles under conditions of cyclotron resonances in the field of an intense electromagnetic wave are presented. Particular attention is paid to regimes with dynamic chaos. It is shown that there are two qualitatively different regimes. The appearance of the first one is due to the overlap of nonlinear cyclotron resonances. The second mode is related to intermittency. The moments and spectra of each of these regimes are determined. It is shown that with an increase in the intensity of an external electromagnetic wave, the first regime appears at the beginning and only then the second regime appears. A characteristic feature of the second regime is intermittency. Steps appear on the time dynamics of pulses in the second mode. It is shown that the spectra in the second mode are narrower than in the first mode. A characteristic feature of the second regime (the regime with intermittency) is the fact that the higher moments turn out to be larger than the lower moments. In the first regime, the highest moments decrease rapidly. To find the particle momentum distribution function, the generalized Fokker-Planck equation was used. Solutions of this equation are written out for some important cases.

Published: August 2023

This study examines the determinants of life insurance demand in Pakistan using time series data from 1985 to 2023. The objective is to analyze the short- and long-term relationship between the demand for life insurance and socioeconomic factors. The study finds that the net premium insurance amount, real GDP per capita, and population are stationary at first difference, while the interest rate, savings, and inflation are stationary at the level. The ARDL (1, 3, 2, 3, 3, 3) model is selected based on the Akaike information criterion. The Bound F-test confirms the existence of a long-term relationship between the variables. In the short-run, the interest rate has an insignificant positive relationship with life insurance demand at first difference; however, it has a significant negative relationship at the first and second legs. Real GDP per capita has a significant positive relationship with life insurance demand, while population and savings are significantly and positively associated with life insurance demand. Inflation has a significant positive impact on life insurance demand. The error correction term is significantly negative, indicating the adjustment towards the long-run equilibrium. In the long-run, interest rate, population, and real GDP per capita positively and significantly affect life insurance demand, while savings and inflation have a negative and significant impact.

Published: August 2023

This article presents the findings of a study that utilized a panel ARDL (autoregressive distributive lag) model to scrutinize the association of foreign direct investment (FDI), trade, human capital, government expenditures, with tourism in the BRICS nations. The research analyzed data spanning the period from 1995 to 2020 and unveiled crucial insights into the dynamics influencing tourism development in these countries. The results revealed that FDI, trade, and human capital demonstrated positive associations with the tourism sector, in the short and long time period. These factors played a significant role in boosting tourism activities within the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, China, India & South Africa) nations. However, an inverse correlation was observed between government expenditures and tourism during the same time frame, suggesting the need for careful allocation and optimization of public funds to enhance the sector's growth and performance. This study sheds light on the complex interplay between various determinants of tourism development in BRICS countries, providing valuable implications for policymakers and industry stakeholders.

Authors: Manuel Moisés Fernando
Published: August 2023

Estamos numa época, onde se deposita grande confiança aos postulados científicos, uma confiança que não exime a possibilidade de uma certa traição por parte da ciência ou um certo desejo quimérico por parte do homem em ver tudo esclarecido, dentro de seus limites conceituais. O objetivo geral deste artigo é analisar como a cultura Intercontinental tem sido vista na investigação em Ciências Humanas e Sociais. De modo específico, o artigo objetiva esclarecer a dicotomia entre as Ciências Humanas e Sociais; bem como introduzir a cultura da aproximação como adjacente da cultura Intercontinental na Investigação em Ciências Humanas e Sociais. Metodologicamente o presente artigo, quanto aos objetivos espelhados é uma pesquisa exploratória, quanto aos procedimentos é uma pesquisa bibliográfica, fazendo recurso aos estudos já feitos por outros pensadores, tais como Adorno (2002), Martins (2002), Hall (2006). A cultura Intercontinental na Investigação em Ciências Humanas e Sociais deve ser reforçada por um novo substrato cultural, a cultura da aproximação, o sentido dos termos são os mesmos já conhecidos, a sua aplicação na investigação terá como intuito lembrar aos investigadores em Ciências Humanas e Sociais, que o centro de suas investigações é o homem, todos os outros elementos devem estar ligados com este e entre si.
COMICIDADE, RISO E RIDICULARIZAÇÃO DO PODER AUTORITÁRIO NO CONTO “ROSA, ROSA, ROSAE”, DE ROBERTO DRUMMOND
Authors: Franco Junior Arnaldo
Published: August 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é oferecer ao leitor uma análise e interpretação das relações entre a escrita do conto “Rosa, Rosa, Rosae”, de Roberto Drummond, a produção do efeito de humor e a crítica social e política ao autoritarismo. Para isso, contextualizaremos o conto tanto em seu momento imediato de produção-recepção – os anos 1970 no Brasil – quanto em seus vínculos estruturais com o procedimento de articulação de dois conflitos dramáticos na construção da história narrada. É, sobretudo, por meio deste procedimento de construção da trama narrativa que Roberto Drummond logra produzir comicidade e riso a partir da história narrada no conto, fazendo com que a crítica social e política atinjam o seu alvo: o personagem protagonista e, por efeito de metonímia, o que ele representa no contexto da história narrada e no diálogo desta com o seu contexto histórico, social e político. Nossa reflexão terá por base, fundamentalmente, os estudos de M. Bakhtin (1987), H. Bergson (1983), F. Aguiar (1975) e R. L. Baronas (2005). O resultado demonstrará como, sob a ação da censura e da repressão política da ditadura civil-militar, Roberto Drummond logrou êxito em driblar um contexto autoritário e avesso às artes e à liberdade de expressão.

Air is the source of life for humans, plants and animals. One of the efforts to meet water needs is to use a hydram pump. A hydram pump is a pump that works without requiring external power to activate it, but this work is done by utilizing power from a water source. This study aims to determine the effect of using a pressure divider valve on the discharge of waste water and the discharge of water released by the hydram pump. This study used a hydram pump with the specifications of an air tube with a height of 60 cm and a diameter of 3 inches. The height of the waterfall from the pump body is 2 meters and the output height is 4 meters. The height of the air tube on the pressure divider is 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50 cm. The method used in this research is the experimental method. Quantitative data is made in tabular form and displayed graphically. The results showed that the highest wastewater discharge was 0.238 lt/s when using a tube length of 20 cm at an installation height of 2 meters from the pump body and the highest wastewater discharge was 0.232 lt/s when using a tube length of 50 cm. The highest water discharge that can be pumped is 0.0477 lt/s when a tube length of 20 cm is used. While the lowest water discharge pumped was 0.0398 lt/s occurred when using a tube length of 50 cm.

One of the problems facing the underground tunnels is lacking enough fresh air for passengers inside the subway. Also, because of the friction of the train with the railways, high heat is generated. So, the use of computational fluid dynamics to distribute the required fresh air flow at the lowest possible cost is critical for the tunnels. In this research, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is used to perform 3D modelling and simulation for the tunnel of Cairo Metro Line No. 3. The standard k-e turbulence model was used in the CFD analysis to simulate the ventilation airflow in a 1075m tunnel length. The simulation reveals that the tunnel airflow rate induced by the speed of the fan is more desirable. Also, the addition of a jet fan causes an eddy current that improving the efficiency of tunnel ventilation, thereby greatly reducing ventilation time, and increasing efficiency in cases where the diameter of the tunnel equals 15 m, the speed of the fan is 1480 r.p.m, and the air flow rate is 80- 120 m3/s. This led to improve fan speed efficiency and airflow distribution in the tunnel. Similar way of simulation is used for road tunnel ventilation.

This article presents an exhaustive systematic review of the medical literature focused on the detailed analysis of ureter injuries. Injuries to this anatomical conduit, which connects the kidneys to the bladder, can arise as a consequence of various causes, such as abdominal surgeries, trauma, gynecological and urological procedures, among others. The aim of this study is to provide a comprehensive and updated view of the etiology, epidemiology, classification, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment options for ureteral injuries. During the investigation, numerous scientific articles, case reports, and retrospective studies were extensively reviewed, with particular focus on identifying the risk factors associated with these lesions. Also highlighted were the various diagnostic approaches and imaging tools, including computed tomography (CT), retrograde urography, cystoscopy, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which are critical for the accurate diagnosis and extensive evaluation of ureter injuries. Significant differences in treatment options were observed, depending on the severity and location of the lesions, with endourological and laparoscopic techniques being the preferred options for milder cases, while complex reconstructive surgeries are reserved for more extensive and complex lesions. Innovative surgical techniques, including ureteral anastomosis, tissue grafting and the use of ureteral stents, are addressed with the goal of optimally restoring ureteral function and structure. This systematic review highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in the management of ureteral injuries, involving urologists, general surgeons, gynecologists and radiologists, to ensure timely diagnosis and effective treatment. Furthermore, the relevance of prevention and early identification of ureteral injuries is emphasized, with the purpose of minimizing complications and improving long-term clinical outcomes. In conclusion, this research provides a valuable source of information for the medical and surgical community, promoting a better understanding and comprehensive management of ureteral injuries.

Entrepreneurship education is designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge required to start and run successful businesses, as well as to foster an entrepreneurial mindset. Through entrepreneurial courses, students are expected to learn how to identify market opportunities, develop business plans, and acquire the necessary resources to bring their ideas to fruition. They also learn about risk management, financial management, and marketing strategies, which are essential skills for any entrepreneur. Hence, this study examined the influence of entrepreneurship education on students' innovation and creativity. Multiple regression analysis was employed to analyse the data collected from 244 undergraduate students in federal universities in north-central geo-political zone, Nigeria. The findings revealed that (1) there is a positive significant relationship between entrepreneurship education and students’ innovation; (2) entrepreneurship education has a significant influence on students’ creativity. Therefore, it is broadly recommended that universities should not see entrepreneurship education as the courses that must be passed through test, presentations and examinations, rather the courses should be assessed based on success recorded by students in their chosen areas of business or ingenuity (practical evaluation).

Autor na osnovu arhivskih izvora iznosi tezu da su snage JVuO uoči razdvajanja na dva dijela, 10. svibnja, brojale između 5 500 i 6 000 pripadnika te da se 12. svibnja naZelengoru probilo do 3 500 četnika. Također, autor ukazuje na zločine JVuO tokom marša kroz srednju Bosnu, koje Dimitrijević i Dević izbjegavaju spomenuti.

Uz uvodni dio rada koji donosi biografiju prosvjetnog djelatnika Ernesta Krambergera 1843.-1918. (jedno vrijeme i ravnatelja Kraljevske male realne gimnazije u Bjelovaru), a koja je istražena u Hrvatskom državnom arhivu (fond 216., Ministarstvo narodne prosvjete NDH, Personalni dosje Ernest Kramberger), srž rada je reprint njegova članka „Kraljevski i slobodni grad Bjelovar” koji je objavljen u „Ilustriranom hrvatskom pučkom koledaru za rimokatolike, grčko-iztočne i izraelitčane za prostu 1886. godinu.” Krambergerov članak je jedan od prvih znanstvenih prikaza bjelovarske povijesti. Osim toga posebice je zanimljiv i zbog toga jer je Kramberger koristio građu za njegovo pisanje koja je nestala u vihoru Drugog svjetskog rata.

Authors: YILDIRIM Mehmet
Published: August 2023

This research has been conducted with the aim of uncovering work values using the Delphi method. When examining the methods of previous research on work values, it is observed that most of these methods are aimed at revealing the majority opinion. While these methods contribute significantly to the categorical classification of work values in the literature, they contain significant gaps in terms of revealing values that all participants agree upon. This study aims to fill this important gap in the literature, contribute to the literature, and provide guidance for future studies. As a result of the study, a consensus has been reached on 37 work values that have been categorized into seven different categories consistent with the classification of work values in the literature: social needs, stability, leisure time, external, internal, altruistic, and managerial values.
