Ambivalence in Female Characters in Reply from Tibet and Letter from a Lhasa Merchant to His Wife
Authors: Shrestha Sujita
Published: April 2024

This article analyses the themes of love, longing and fear of abandonment felt by the female characters Hisila in Reply from Tibet and unnamed wife of unnamed narrator in Letter From A Lhasa Merchant to His Wife. Torn between love and fear of abandonment/social ostracization or of non-fulfi llment of love, both Hisila and the wife exhibit conflicting feelings of deep love alongside strong indifference or even scorn towards their lover Yami and husband respectively. This article studies these contrasting emotions under the critical framework of psychoanalytic concept of ambivalence which denotes prevalence of two polar emotions or attitudes towards a person, object or situation. The article concludes that Hisila’s rejection of Yami’s marriage proposal alongside urging him to become her brother, and the wife’s converting into nun but saving her husband’s letter until her death testifies the ambivalence in these characters.

The existence of fishing gear type padang hoe began to spread in the area of Lake Lut Tawar, Central Aceh. As a result of massive and uncontrolled fishing practices and disregard for local culture, this is very dangerous for the preservation of Lake Lut Tawar. So if it continues to be left unchecked, fish endemic to Lake Lut Tawar, such as the depik fish, are threatened with extinction. In the Gayo community in Central Aceh District, cases/disputes that occur within the community are resolved by a customary institution called sarak opat. The purpose of this study is to find out the authority of sarak opat in solving environmental pollution and to find out the obstacles of sarak opat in solving environmental pollution. This type of research is empirical normative research. The data sources used are primary data and secondary data obtained from primary legal materials, secondary legal materials and tertiary legal materials. The method of collecting data is through interviews and document studies. The way of analyzing the data that has been collected from both primary and secondary data will be analyzed qualitatively, so that it is found that facts as symptoms of primary data are associated with theories from secondary data presented descriptively.

Published: April 2024

This article surveys the literature on organizational evaluation capacity (EC) instruments. Over the past 25 years, articles have been published in four waves covering the development of organizational evaluation capacity models, surveys of the evaluation capacity and practice landscape, the development of EC instruments, and their replication and adaptation. Altogether, the authors identified 20 studies applying 16 EC instruments. Several studies applied variants of the same instrument. We found instruments of three types: checklists, rubrics, and questionnaires. The instruments vary in terms of type, purpose, scoring, dimensions, number of items, and validation processes. In general, the validation studies demonstrated acceptable face, content, construct validity, and internal consistency. Only two studies tested for predictive validity. No studies covered concurrent validity and test–retest, or inter-rater reliability.

Creep compliance of functionalized graphene-epoxy nanocomposites
Authors: Bakbak Okan , Colak Ozgen
Published: April 2024

Creep behavior is observed even at room temperature in polymers and polymer composites under constant stress. In the design of structural elements using these materials, the determination of creep compliance for structural strength and performance analysis is crucial in terms of reliability and usability. In this study, the creep compliance of pure epoxy and functionalized graphene-reinforced epoxy nanocomposites were experimentally investigated and compared at room temperature at constant stress levels of 50, 100, and 200 MPa representing the viscoelastic region, yielding region and viscoplastic region, respectively. To reveal the effect of temperature as well as stress level on this behavior, the creep compliance of epoxy and graphene-epoxy nanocomposites was investigated at 65°C in addition to room temperature after the pure graphene used as a reinforcement element was functionalized with Triton X-100, nanocomposite production was carried out. In 2h creep tests, it was observed that as the constant stress level increased, the creep compliance increased and the creep compliance of the nanocomposite was lower than that of the epoxy at all stress levels. The creep compliance of the epoxy was improved by 65% with the addition of functionalized graphene at room temperature and a stress level of 100 MPa. As the temperature increased, the creep compliance of both epoxy and functionalized graphene-epoxy nanocomposite increased due to molecular mobility and viscous flow. However, at high temperatures, the positive effect of functionalized graphene on the compliance of the epoxy is higher. At 65°C and a stress level of 100 MPa, the improvement rate of creep compliance is 78%. Functionalized graphene exhibited a more effective behavior on creep resistance at high temperatures. The obtained results showed that creep compliance was significantly affected by stress level and temperature.
Using supplemental linear viscous dampers for experimentally verified base-isolated building: Case study
Authors: Kıral Adnan , Gurbuz Ali
Published: April 2024

As a way to reduce structural vibration, many buildings are initially intended to be base-isolated. However, because of the base isolators' inherent nonlinear behavior, particularly in earthquake-prone areas, buildings equipped with base isolation systems may experience significant displacement demands. Therefore, in certain situations, it might be required to use additional damping devices to control the seismic response of base-isolated buildings. This study examines three different building models: Fixed Base (FB), Isolated Base (IB), and Isolated Base with installed Viscous Dampers (IB&VD) in the base layer of the building. Sosokan, a nine-story structure on Keio University's Yagami Campus, is utilized for this purpose. The building is modeled in MATLAB. A state-space representation of the building with a Maxwell-type viscous damper model is used. The responses of the building models with FB, IB, and IB&VD are evaluated by time history analyses using eight ground motion records. Certain engineering requirements criteria, such as inter-story drift ratios and absolute acceleration, are taken into consideration while evaluating the findings of the analysis. Based on one of this study's main findings, a base-isolated building with passive viscous damping in the base layer could significantly reduce both maximum seismic displacement and acceleration. Maximum acceleration and inter-story drift are lowered by up to 92% and 89%, respectively, when IB&VD is scaled to the FB model. Based on the results of this study, passive viscous dampers combined with building base isolation are not only useful for multi-objective optimization (i.e., reducing acceleration as well as inter-story drift) but they can also be used to reduce high-frequency accelerations, which could be important for building equipment that is sensitive to acceleration.

The article, based on the arguments and specific examples, concludes that the Muslim model of education is based primarily on the Koran and Sunnah, as well as on the scientific and theoretical achievements of early Muslim thinkers. Scientists connect the integrity of human life with the philosophical, cultural, ethical, devel-opmental unity of science and knowledge. The article reveals and analyzes the essence of the values of the Koran, which have become the basis of education and science in Islamic philosophy.The pedagogical system of education and training in Islam studies the formation of personality, upbringing and education of a person of any age within the framework of cultural studies and religious studies. The ultimate goal of education in Is-lam is the formation of morality. The concept of “adab” covers the spiritual and material essence of a person, his social relationships. Scientists interpret this concept as worthy behavior, which is formed on the basis of knowledge from the source of wisdom (hikmat) and believe that the formation and development of higher qualities protects a person from making mistakes. These are the basic principles of the system of education and science in the religion of Islam. From a reformist-modernist point of view, the article defines and analyz-es the values and institutions of Islam related to the basic aspects of the classical period of Muslim civiliza-tion. The authors of the article analyze the problem of attitude towards thecult of saints and sacred places in post-classical Islam, as well as the history of the development of education in Islam and the basic principles of science at the present stage. The article notes that the role of theological schools and the Islamic worldview of scientists are among the spiritual treasures.

In this article, the authors explore the problems associated with the search for the most adequate methodological approaches to the study of the phenomenon of tolerance and ethno-confessional identity. The article proposes to analyze the most realistic methodological variations, according to the author. The author's main attention is paid to the methodological concepts of foreign researchers. The authorsbelieve that, unfortunately, there are no fundamental scientific papers related to the development of methodological foundations that allow the most effective investigation of the nature of the phenomenon of ethno-confessional identity and tolerance in the Kazakh scientific space yet. In addition, the authors note that such research work is mainly related to scientific research conducted by scientists of the Institute of Philosophy, Political Science and Religious Studies, as well as individual domestic scientists of the regions. In the presented work, the authors use a qualitative and quantitative methodology in studying the main contours of the ethno-confessional palette of society. This approach to the study allowed the authors to study the world around them as a stable system built in a strictly logical and rational way. The authors argue that the high scientific effectiveness of the qualitative and quantitative methodology is determined by the possibility of a panoramic study of the phenomenon of ethnicand confessional consolidation and identity.This article presents some theoretical and methodological developments carried out within the framework of the implementation of research work on the intra-university grant project NIR No. 14-VG–23 on the topic“Ethno–confessional identity of student youth:problems, prospects (on the example of students of the Karaganda University named after E.A.Buketov)”.

Проведена сравнительная оценка процессов разложения растительных остатков (хвоя сосны, хвоя ели, листья бореальных кустарничков, слоевища мхов) на начальных этапах в сосняках лишайниково-кустарничковых и ельниках кустарничково-зеленомошных, формирующихся в естественных условиях на северном пределе распространения. Изучались особенности исходного состава опада, темпы разложения и изменения химического состава растительных остатков в процессе деструкции, обусловленные формацией леса. Более высокое исходное содержание Сорг в тканях растений сосновых лесов связано с благоприятными условиями освещенности под пологом леса, тогда как высокое содержание Mn в тканях растений напочвенного покрова в ельниках обусловлено непосредственным влиянием богатого этим элементом питания опада хвои ели. Результаты исследования наглядно продемонстрировали, что формация леса оказывает значительное влияние как на исходное качество опада одних и тех же видов растений, так и на скорость разложения: хвоя ели и листья брусники с более высоким содержанием элементов питания (Mg, Mn, P) и узкими соотношениями элементов (С:N, C:P) в еловом лесу характеризовались и более активными процессами разложения. Однако опад зеленых мхов, несмотря на более высокое качество в ельниках, разлагался активнее в сосновых лесах, что может быть связано с большим количеством осадков в сосновых лесах. Таким образом, на различия в скорости разложения растительных остатков влияет сочетанием качества растительного материала, температурного режима и количества осадков, связанных с формацией леса.
The effect of amaranth, a pseudo-cereal, on the activity of L. acidophilus probiotic bacteria and its antioxidant activity in the gastrointestinal digestion process
Authors: Karkar Büşra
Published: April 2024

Pseudo-cereals are an excellent source of nutrients, rich in carbohydrates, dietary fiber, protein, lipids, phytochemicals, and minerals such as magnesium, zinc, copper, sodium, potassium, and calcium. The positive effects of gluten-free pseudo-cereals on the digestive system are an alternative to natural cereals. Pseudo-cereals have prebiotic properties and strengthen digestion by positively affecting the development of probiotic bacteria, especially Lactobacillus. Therefore, the effect of amaranth, a pseudo-cereal, on the activity of L. acidophilus probiotic bacteria, which helps digestion, was determined. First, solvent, acidic, and basic hydrolysis extractions of amaranth in eight different solvent media were performed, and total phenolic content and antioxidant activity values were determined. The total phenolic content values in the gastrointestinal digestion process were investigated by applying three different consumption methods, milling, boiling, and drying, to amaranth grains. L. acidophilus probiotic bacteria were activated with milled, dried, and boiled amaranth, and the increase in viability was examined. While the viability of L. acidophilus activated with milled and dried amaranth increased by 9.47% and 7.46%, respectively, the viability of bacteria activated with boiled amaranth almost did not increase (0.60%).

The use of safe, natural feed additives in animal feeding is becoming increasingly important to provide animals with biologically active substances, reduce the risk of chemicals being transferred to the end consumer through products, their accumulation, and increase productivity. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of Artemisia capillaris on egg productivity of quail hens. To conduct the experiment, 4 groups were established – a control group and three experimental groups, 72 animals (♀60+♂12) in each. The experiment, which lasted 210 days, involved feeding poultry with complete balanced feeds that had the same chemical composition and differed only in the content of the test additive, which was introduced into the feeds of poultry of experimental groups 2,3, and 4 in the amount of 0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5% by weight of the feed, respectively. The introduction of dry wormwood powder in mixed feed of quail hens in the amount of 0.5-1.5% has a positive effect on such indicators of egg productivity as the gross yield of eggs, which increased in the experimental groups by 2.6-5.6%, the egg weight increased by 5.6-12.9%, while feed costs decreased by 2.8%. According to the qualitative indicators of eggs, there was an increase in the absolute weight of yolk by 3.0-8.3%, albumen by 2.6-6.5%, shell by 0.6-1.2%, and a decrease in the egg index by 0.9-4.1%. Feeding A. Capillaris to poultry leads to an increase in the content of palmitic, stearic, oleic, linolenic, eicosanoic, and arachidonic fatty acids in egg yolk by 0.01-6.07%. The optimal level of A. Capillaris in the diet was determined to be 1.0% of the total weight of the feed; this amount had a positive effect on the above indicators, increasing them, which can be used in the industrial technology of quail eggs production, and in organic production

Published: April 2024

The use of poultry as a unique model of biological research was characterised by a high level of efficiency, however, methods for creating transgenic ducks, complicated by the structure of waterfowl eggshells, are of low efficiency. The purpose of the study was to determine the influence of various biotechnological procedures for creating transgenic ducks on their productive qualities and reproductive ability to identify the optimal method for creating transgenic poultry for further use in scientific, research, or economic purposes. Weighting, morphometric and statistical analysis of productive traits were used during the study. 40 ducks (4 experimental groups of animals and about 3,000 of their eggs) were studied. The lowest value of the egg productivity index was obtained in the group created by busulfan injection (79.5±11.8%), the highest – in the group created by sperm-mediated gene transfer (91.8±2.3%), the group of direct injection of transgenic construct – 89.0±2.0%, which indicates that this biotechnological method of introducing transgenic construct did not have a clear effect on this indicator. The weight of ducks in different experimental groups ranged from 1,323.50±65.36 g (using the sperm-mediated gene transfer) to 1,608.08±94.76 g (in the group created using busulfan). Ducks that received direct injections had an average weight of 1,480.42±35.01 g. In the control group, the average weight at sexual maturity was 139.5±9.67 g, in the busulfan group – 148.2±13.13 g, in the direct injection group – 143.16±7.25 g, and in the spermmediated gene transfer group – 140.67±13.13 g. It was found that the method of injection into the embryo of a recipient sterilised with busulfan and the introduction of donor blastodermal cells negatively affect the reproductive qualities of ducks. The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that as a result of the analysis of the productivity of ducks obtained by various methods of transgenesis, it was determined that the most effective of the evaluated methods is the transfection of DNA of the transgenic construct with sperm (Sperm-mediated gene transfer, SMGT)
ІNFORMATION SYSTEMS FOR MODELING LAND PRICES UNDER THE URBANIZATION PROCESS
Authors: Nazarenko Volodymyr , Martyn Andrii
Published: April 2024

The dynamic shifts associated with urban growth or decline significantly influence both municipal and national economic policies. Urban expansion often necessitates substantial land resources allocation, whereas in regions with limited land availability or geographical restrictions, a innovative approach to urban planning is mandated. Key land value factors have been determined and classified. Each direct and indirect land prices key economic impact factor had been summarized and used to build information system model. Among these factors financial and economic data combined with geo-spatial information are considered the main input data sources for the digital information systems solution. An eight steps algorithm was constructed to enable information system output for economical assessment of land plot objects. The presented equations for economical assessment of a single land plot object can be used to calculate important parameters for the information system. Going one step further, a pyramid-shaped diagram denotes four stages of general economical valuation for prospective land object in context of investment opportunities. The price of each individual land slot can be efficiently calculated using an information system that relies upon pre-processed data, price impact factors and general land slot information. The findings underscore the necessity for adopting a more comprehensive approach towards the modeling of land prices in urbanized territories. This approach should adequately reflect the current delineation of urban and suburban boundaries, incorporate data pertinent to urban zones, and consider the spatial distribution of most significant industrial sites and business districts within larger urban zone (metropolitan region).

Published: April 2024

The quality of the finished sausage product is affected not only by the quality of raw materials, but also by the process of grinding the meat and obtaining high-quality minced meat. Planning production lines in the food industry is associated with difficulties due to the need for an informed choice of the right equipment. Therefore, the purpose of this work is to increase the technological efficiency of meat processing by determining the rational type of mixer-mixer by the method of multi-criteria analysis of the equipment. On the market, stirrers are available in different capacities with different diameters of the grids of the stirrers and the capacity of the working chambers of the stirrers. For the initial evaluation of the technical perfection of the equipment according to its energy intensity, the criterion of throughput energy intensity and the energy intensity of the mixing process were selected. To find effective options, the principle of dominance according to the Pareto method was applied. For the final evaluation of the machines in the multi-criteria analysis, the method of the distance to the target according to the coefficients of energy and metal capacity was used. The obtained values of the throughput energy capacity of the analyzed agitators vary from 0,098 to 0,415 kW/mm, while the energy capacity of the mixing process varies from 0,00314 to 0,01375 kW/l. The value of the energy density coefficient varies from 0,0031 to 0,011 (kWh)/kg, while the metal density coefficient varies from 0,127 to 0,675 (kg·h)/kg. The obtained data can be used in the design calculations of similar equipment. Combo Grind 1500/250 by GEA turned out to be the closest to the ideal version. This machine has a special design, which distinguishes it from other "classical" schemes of execution of mixers.

Aim. To update the understanding of non-alcoholic fatty pancreatic disease as an important component of the development and maintenance of metabolic syndrome, to present current data on the connection of this pathology with cardiovascular risks, and to outline approaches to diagnosis and treatment. Key points. Metabolic syndrome is one of the most common pathologies that significantly increases cardiovascular risks. It is known that excessive accumulation of lipids in the pancreas in patients with metabolic syndrome inevitably entails impaired functioning of beta cells. However, the term characterizing metabolic dysfunction of the pancreas against the background of its steatosis was introduced into circulation relatively recently. Thus, non-alcoholic fatty pancreatic disease acquires its own definitions that distinguish it from the traditional morphological approach, which consists more in assessing the content of the proportion of adipose tissue, but not the connection with the components of the metabolic syndrome. It is known that patients with non-alcoholic fatty pancreatic disease are more likely to have type 2 diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension and atherosclerosis. Probably, the pathogenesis of its development is also closely related to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Conclusion. Non-alcoholic fatty pancreatic disease, being one of the key mechanisms of metabolic dysfunction, requires further research in order to determine preventive and therapeutic tactics. Keywords: insulin resistance, non-alcoholic fatty pancreatic disease, pancreatic steatosis, metabolic syndrome.

Суднова система очистки виконана компанією «Harris Pye Engineering», яка пропонує клієнтам морського сектору унікальні та інноваційні рішення, в той же час підтримуючи ефективність, якість та безпеку. Склад системи наведений на рис. 2. [4]. Принцип роботи скрубера полягає в наступному (рис. 2): забруднений газ, що видаляється від головного двигуна надходить на очищення, де реагує з рідиною що розпорошується, 4 рядами зрошувачів. В цілому до недоліків експлуатації скруберів такого типу можна віднести чутливість до гідродинамічного режиму, що викликає необхідність обов’язкового переходу на дизельне пальне та нівелює економічну доцільність використання скрубера, що формує основну мету роботи.

Authors: Мадей В.В.
Published: April 2024

.The possibility of using fuel of biological origin in marine medium-speed diesels is considered. Experiments have confirmed the possibility of using biofuels (as part of a fuel mixture of DMA fuel and 5 ... 15 % biodiesel) to ensure the work cycle of the diesel and power transmission to energy consumers. The use of biofuels increases the environmental friendliness of marine diesel - with 5.1 ... 23.3 % (depending on the diesel load and the content of biofuels in the fuel mixture) reduces the emission of nitrogen oxides. When using biofuels there is a 1 ... 5.1% increase in specific fuel consumption, which reduces the efficiency of the diesel engine.

hen determining the working section of any ship’s flexible pipeline and its basic geometric dimensions it is necessary to proceed from the theoretical and experimental results for its hydro or aeroelastic vibrations. By choosing the optimal cross–section of the pipeline, it is possible to control the emerging dynamic processes in the operational mode [1]. In terms of ship conditions, a mere increase of a flexible pipeline diameter can lead to the change of self–oscillation mode from the galloping to the damped one.

Published: April 2024

The analysis of the possibility of improving the quality of control of circulating oil of high-speed diesel by polarization is carried out. Remote quality control of circulating oil is based on irradiation of the oil surface with an electromagnetic wave of linear polarization and reception of the reflected wave of vertical or horizontal polarization. Based on the result of measuring the reflected power, a decision is made regarding the internal structure of the oil to which this signal corresponds, by comparing its value with the criterion value for the quality structure of the oil. Keywords: circulating oil, high-speed diesel, dielectric constant of oil, emitted and reflected waves, criterion value.

REDUCTION OF MECHANICAL LOSSES IN MARINE DIESELS

Постановка проблеми в загальному вигляді. Під час експлуатації двигунів внутрішнього згоряння (ДВЗ) суден річкового та морського транспорту здійснюється безперервний і періодичний контроль не тільки показників, що характеризують робочий цикл дизеля (тиску і температури в характерних точках, частоти обертання, потужності, температури випускних газів), але також експлуатаційних і реологічних характеристик моторного мастила (ММ). При цьому, основними параметрами, контроль яких обов’язковий в процесі експлуатації дизеля, є в’язкість, густина, кислотне число, температура спалаху, зміст води і механічних домішок. Під час експлуатації ці параметри постійно змінюються, причому в деяких випадках можуть перевищувати гранично допустимі значення (бракувальні показники). Це неминуче призводить до збільшення контактних напруг в основних трибологічних системах і підвищення втрат енергії, що витрачається на їх подолання. Найпростішим, а тому і найпоширенішим способом відновлення реологічних характеристик ММ є їх очищення (шляхом частково- або повно-проточної фільтрації і сепарації), а також додавання в обсяг ММ, яке вже знаходиться в мастильній системі, свіжого мастила (як чистого, так і зі спеціальними присадками). При цьому необхідно забезпечувати не тільки вимоги щодо отримання ефективної потужності і підтримки екологічних параметрів дизелів суден річкового та морського транспорту, але й мінімальний рівень механічних втрат під час перетворенні вхідної енергії на корисну роботу [1, 2]. Тому зниження механічних втрат у суднових дизелях є актуальним завданням, розв’язання якого сприятиме підвищенню потужності та забезпеченню надійності роботи дизелів річкового та морського транспорту.
‘I AM HERE’, ABRAHAM SAID
Authors: Rapport Nigel
Published: April 2024

Emmanuel Levinas’s philosophical work on ‘the Other’ offers a challenge to the discipline of anthropology that claims knowledge of the human. For Levinas, the ‘secrecy’ of subjectivity – a fundamental facet of the human condition – demands an ethics of ignorance and not-knowing; the mystery of otherness is only to be approached through ‘inspiration’. Can anthropology meet a Levinasian challenge if it would define itself as a science as well as a humanistic documentation of social life? This book endeavours to take Levinasian and anthropological precepts equally seriously and offers a radical conclusion.
The Development of Students’ Worksheets Based on Combinatoric Reasons in Elementary School

Published: April 2024

This study was motivated by the many shortcomings of students’ worksheets so far, including the incapability in developing students’ scientific skills and high-level thinking. Meanwhile, the learning objectives of the elementary school level get students to think reasonably and solve problems. Therefore, developing students’ worksheets based on combinatoric reason is the solution, as it drills students to have sustainable thinking. This study aimed to see the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of students’ worksheets based on combinatoric reason. It is a Research and Development study with the Plomp model. The plomp model consists of preliminary investigation; design;  realization/construction; and test, evaluation, and revision. The research instruments were students’ worksheets, validation form, questionnaire, and test form. The subject involved 40 students in the sixth grade of elementary school. The data analysis used is descriptive qualitative and descriptive quantitative.  It resulted in 91,5% for the validity (very valid), 90,9% for the practicality (very practical), and 92,5% for the effectiveness (very effective). Thus, it indicates that students’ worksheets based on combinatoric reason are valid, practical, and effective, which are proper for elementary school. So, it is recommended that mathematics teachers use it in learning, because it trains students to use combinatorial reasoning. As a result, students become flexible and logical in determining strategies, as well as being systematic in solving problems. As a result, elementary school students' Problem-solving and higher order thinking abilities become better.
