Friction welding is a solid-state welding process using heat generated through friction. Dissimilar materials can be joined properly with friction welding. This study is a continuation of the previous study and aimed to determine the interface structure occurred on stainless steel and carbon steel joints. Stainless steel 304 and mild carbon steel are joined with this method at 2000 rpm rotation for 15 seconds and forging time of 5 seconds with a pressure of 5 MPa. The results of a micro-observation using a scanning electron microscope show good bonding in the interface area. The carbon steel is more welded to the stainless steel in the periphery than in the center. The spectrum results of Energy Dispersive X-Ray of the interface show Fe, C and Cr elements content. This is what causes the strong welding bond.

A qualitative approach was employed in this study by using a Discourse Completion Test (DCT) with 12 scenarios. The data were analyzed into the refusal taxonomy proposed by Beebe et al. (1990). The results showed that the indirect strategy become the most frequently used strategy performed by male and female students. However, the female students have used a variety of indirect strategies slightly greater than did the male students. Moreover, the interlocutor status also affected a similar effect on the refusal strategy performed by the participants. Therefore, there is no significant difference in refusals between male and female students, and the results reveal that EFL students prefer to refuse respectfully to avoid offending others. The researchers proposed that future studies use not only DCT but also other instruments in collecting data in order to acquire complete data to explore pragmatic competency.

Published: April 2022

It is by now well established that materials may have an impact beyond simply learning a language they present. Thus, we need to survey thoroughly the materials to find out the influence they might have on learners' progress and attitude. Hence, in this study attempts have been made to investigate the cons and pros of a textbook (Summit 2B) which is currently being widely used in Iranian EFL classes. The textbook has been evaluated based on a model provided by McDonough and Shaw (1993) on the basis of two stages: an external evaluation that offered a brief overview of the textbook from the outside and a closer and more detailed internal evaluation. Efforts have been made to critically evaluate the textbook in terms of the layout, design, content, language type, different activities, tasks, as well as the skills emphasized in the book. The findings showed that albeit there appears to be some shortcomings, this book (Summit 2B) seems to be more efficient to meet the requirements of the Iranian EFL learners as compared with the older textbooks which have hitherto been used at different language classes. Accordingly, investigating and evaluating the book proved to be very lucrative and valuable in terms of pedagogy as well as the efficient attributes that suits the context of the present study.Â Finally, the implications as regards the efficiency of this particular course-book as the consequence of evaluating it have been put forward and the strengths and weaknesses related to it have been argued.

Authors: Zarubina O.A. , Zarubin A.M.
Published: April 2022

The effect of the bottom gating system design on filling rate of the chill mould by aluminum alloy is considered. Additional element of the system is proposed, which makes it possible to control the melt rate in the mould channels and to reduce the contamination of castings by oxides. The regularities of the effect of the additional element volume of the gating system on the maximum melt rate in the gate and the metal utilization factor are established. It is indicated that the optimal geometric dimensions of the additional element and the channel connecting it with the rest of the gating system depend on the configuration of the casting, its position in the mould, the location of the melt supply, and on the required law of speed variation in the gate.

Authors: Latoja Liziel T
Published: April 2022

This study aims to carry out the factors affecting students’ academic performance of senior high school (SHS) graduates, Alternative Learning System (ALS) completers and life-long learners enrolled at a State University, Philippines during the academic year 2019-2020. 310 freshmen from the different academic programs were asked to self-evaluate their study habits, personal condition and attitudes towards school and make personal assessment on the impact of home environment, school environment and lecturer/instructor to their academic performance. Furthermore, their academic performance was measured based on their first semester GPA. Attitude is a significant factor for some students (but not all who are under study) that affects their performance; study habits and personal condition are not an important variable in this situation. However, students should be encouraged to develop effective study habits as some experts have discovered; neglecting to do so might lead to poor academic achievement. Furthermore, it appears that some factors, which are not limited by personal background, may influence habits, and as a result, negatively or favorably effect academic achievement. External factors such as family, school and instructors had no meaningful correlation with the respondents' academic achievement.

Corporate managers often face conflicting  interest  when they report their earning for financial and tax purposes. On one side, managers desire to increase earnings that will be reported to creditors, shareholders and other external users. But on other side, managers also desire to decrease taxable income that will be reported to tax authorities. Managers can achieve these two goals by manipulating earnings upward for financial reporting but not for tax reporting. So managers don't pay income taxes on the upward earnings. In long term this will increase gap between book-tax income differences and effect deferred tax account.

Authors: Mshechil Afaf Kadhim
Published: April 2022

The current study discusses (First Person Pronouns in the Holy Qura'an (Juz' Amma) as a sample), pronoun’s indication, the cause of its build up and the reason behind using it in context. Then, explaining in detail about first person pronouns and its types according to many considerations in Juz' Amma. The current study tries to stand still on the most prominent synthetic patterns to the nominal and verbal first person pronouns sentence at the same time. Then the study sought to uncover the most important connotations and contextual meanings contained in the nominal and verbal pronoun sentence. This came in accordance with the descriptive approach in presenting the states of the first person pronoun, and inductive in limiting his positions to Juz' Amma. As well as the semantic analysis, to find out the reason behind the expression in nominal form on one hand, and verbal at the other hand, and each form has its own indication. It is taken in nominal terms to denote conditions or matters that are characterized by permanence, stability and continuity, while vebal is brought to denote what was renewed and continuing to happen, as well as highlighting some of the Sunnahs of the Arabs, such as expressing future matters and events in the past tense and vice versa. As well as searching for the purposes or reasons that lie behind the diversity in the singular use of the speaker the singular pronoun (I) on one hand, and the plural pronoun (we) on the other. It was found out that it is mostly refers to the greatness of the creator (Allah) affecting the achievement or realization of the act.

An investigation was conducted to examine the validity of current industry maximum nickel contamination limits, which are established to ensure plated through hole solder joint integrity, for SnPb and SAC305 solder baths. Test vehicles were processed using three levels of nickel contamination for each solder: 0.01 wt.%, 0.02 wt.%, 0.05 wt.% for SnPb solder and 0.05 wt.%, 0.07 wt. %, 0.10 wt.% for SAC305 solder. The test vehicles were subjected to thermal cycle testing in accordance with the IPC-9701 specification. Based on this testing, the authors recommend that the allowable nickel contamination levels listed in the IPC-J-STD-001 specification (Table 3-1, Maximum Limits of Solder Bath Contaminant) be 0.05 wt.% for SnPb Assembly, 0.05 wt.% for SnPb Preconditioning, and 0.10 wt.% for SAC305 Pb-free Assembly.

Reliable bonding between the prepared tooth and monolithic ceramics can be achieved by various luting agents available on the market. The selection of luting agent and cementation technique plays an important role in the success of the restoration. With the advent of resin-based adhesive systems as luting agents, clinicians' perspectives have changed to a more conservative approach. Recent systems, chemically adhere athe crowns to the prepared tooth structure showing higher bond strength. To reach the aesthetic demands of the patients, all-ceramic restorations were considered over metal-ceramic crowns. Few all-ceramic crowns are brittle, the strength is dependent on the chemical structure and method of fabrication. While some all-ceramic restorations gain strength after cementation. Thus, the choice of luting agent used in cementing all-ceramic crowns is crucial. Even though many luting agents are being introduced no single luting agent fulfilled all the requirements. Among them, adhesive cements showed greater bond strength and enhanced the retention of minimal preparation, which are less retentive. Traditional non-adhesive agents can be used in retentive preparations that bond through mechanical means rather than the chemical bond seen in newer adhesive cements. Also, surface treatments of zirconia showed greater bond strengths irrespective of the luting agent being used. These include air abrasion, acid etching, applying silane couplers, and primers that increase the surface area for adhesion. The use of all-ceramic restorations, the need for surface treatments, types of surface treatments, adhesion and adhesive agents, and evidence from current in vitroresearch on monolithic ceramics and tooth adhesion were all discussed in this review.
CREATIVITY AND VISUALITY OF CLOSED SPACES: THE CASE OF ETTORE SCOLA
Authors: Martinelli Dario
Published: April 2022

The article seeks to discuss a particular stylistic tendency, within audiovisuality, to contextualize narration and themes within closed (and often small) places – a tendency which has been given the name of claustrophilia. While particularly suitable to genres like horrors and thrillers, where the closed space often takes sinister and threatening connotations, claustrophilia may also appear in a more positive light, as a metaphor of shelter and safety, and has been in fact represented in all kind of ways. Within this picture, and throughout all its history, Italian cinema has often shown a remarkable attention for claustrophiliac representations. As a consequence, the focus of the article will be the director Ettore Scola, a figure specialized in this approach, and particularly the case study of his 1977 release A Special Day (in Italian: Una giornata particolare), one of his most celebrated works, and a well-known one at international level, due also to its Academy Awards candidature and Golden Globe Awards win.
Machine-learning Algorithms Based on Time-series Data for Real-time Classification of Nuclear Fusion Plasmas in KSTAR

A high confinement mode (H-mode)1) was selected as one of the basic operation scenarios of ITER.2) The H-mode is a phenomenon in which the plasma confinement performance suddenly increases because a transport barrier is formed near the plasma boundary. However, although there are advantages obtained in the H-mode, instabilities at the plasma boundary also appear, such as edge localized modes (ELMs). The problem with the ELMs is that the transport barrier periodically collapses (ELM crash). As a result, high temperature energy and particles are released, damaging the plasma-facing components. Therefore, various studies for controlling the ELMs are continuously conducted in various tokamak devices worldwide. The most effective method to prevent ELM crashes is resonant magnetic perturbation (RMP). Also, the most problematic phenomenon among various instability phenomena of plasma, including the ELMs, is plasma disruption.3) The disruption is a phenomenon in which the plasma inside the tokamak loses heat and electromagnetic energy very quickly and disappears. This sudden energy loss induces a considerable heat flux to the plasma-facing components. Furthermore, it applies a strong electromagnetic force to the surrounding conductor to damage the tokamak device, so it is an unstable phenomenon that must be resolved.

Published: April 2022

The COVID-19 outbreak began in December of 2019 and affected many worldwide. Research posited that those with ADHD might struggle more with the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic than their neuro-typical counterparts. The objective of this chapter was to collect and synthesize much of the present research surrounding those with ADHD and to determine how they have been impacted by COVID-19 in hopes of providing ways to mitigate those impacts. The chapter evaluates the research suggesting that ADHD may be a potential risk factor for contracting COVID-19 and discusses how to reduce the possible increased risk of transmission in both children and adults with ADHD. The chapter also examines the effects of lockdowns and online schooling and working from home on children and adults with ADHD as well as best practices for mitigating these impacts.
The Hardships of COVID-19
Authors: Hall Amanda
Published: April 2022

The past two years have been a learning curve for everyone around the world. The waves of COVID-19 took the world by storm and threw our way of life upside down. As humans, we adapt rather quickly to changing environments due to our evolutionary genetic makeup, but for some, the adaptations were harder to process and execute. Communities with disabilities had to take additional steps to accommodate to these new norms for our society. Specifically, the deaf and visually impaired communities were some of the groups of individuals who struggled the most. With the overuse of video broadcasting and online meetings, as well as the now taboo-like sense around touch, COVID-19 has worsened the living experience for many individuals in these vulnerable groups.
