Evaluación de muestras del agregado grueso proveniente de residuos de concreto para producir nuevos concretos
Authors: Cruz Zuniga Nidia , Ramirez Picado Daniela
Published: September 2024

Las demandas de materiales de construcción son cada vez más crecientes, sus fuentes escasas y el manejo de residuos de construcción y demolición muy complejo. La investigación que sustentó el presente artículo buscó estudiar las características del agregado grueso para la construcción proveniente de escombros de obras civiles, y compararlas con los agregados vírgenes tradicionales, con el fin de valorar su posible utilización. Se trabajó con tres fuentes de materia prima para reciclar: paredes de mampostería, baldosas prefabricadas y concreto colado en sitio (cilindros de prueba); todos facilitados por el LanammeUCR.Se siguieron las normas establecidas por INTECO, tanto para la caracterización de los agregados reciclados como para los diseños de mezcla. En las mezclas se utilizaron tres diferentes porcentajes de agregado grueso reciclado sustituyendo al natural. Los resultados arrojaron pequeñas variaciones respecto al comportamiento del agregado virgen, en especial en la absorción, peso unitario y desgaste. Se obtuvieron resultados muy favorables en cuanto a la resistencia a la compresión de los concretos con agregado grueso reciclado, contemplando siempre un diseño de mezcla que se ajustara a sus características. Entre las limitacionesestá que no se estudió la durabilidad del concreto fabricado; tampoco se trabajó con agregado fino reciclado; ambos fenómenos serán abordados en futuras investigaciones. Al finalizar la investigación se concluye que el reciclaje de agregado grueso es técnicamente factible.
Cassava Diseases Classification using EfficientNet Model with Imbalance Data Handling
Authors: Ngesthi Stephany Octaviani , Wulandhari Lili Ayu
Published: September 2024

This research highlights the urgent need for classifying cassava diseases into five classes, such as Cassava Bacterial Blight (CBB), Cassava Brown Streak Disease (CBSD), Cassava Green Mottle (CGM), and Cassava Mosaic Disease (CMD), and Healthy. The study proposes the utilization of the EfficientNet model, a lightweight deep learning architecture, for classifying cassava diseases based on leaf images. However, the datasets available for this classification task are all unbalanced, made it difficult for researchers to perform. To tackle this imbalance issue, the authors compared several imbalance data handling methods commonly used for image classification, including SMOTE (Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique), basic augmentation, and neural style transfer, to be applied before fed into EfficientNet. Initially, EfficientNet model without addressing dataset imbalances, the F1-Score stands at 78%, with most images misclassified into the majority class. Integration with SMOTE notably boosts the F1-Score to 82%, showcasing the efficacy of oversampling methods in enhancing model performance. Conversely, employing data augmentation, both basic and deep learning-based, lowers the F1-Score to 74% and 65% respectively, yet it results in a more balanced distribution of true positives across disease classes. The findings suggest that SMOTE surpasses the other methods in handling imbalanced data.

Published: September 2024

The magnetic field assisted melt-spinning method is a novel approach for producing anisotropic NdFeB-based ribbons and anisotropic bonded magnets. These anisotropic ribbons are required to be grown on the magnetized seeds, so the initial composition of the alloys used for melt-spinning ribbons is very crucial in creating ribbons' textured microstructures. This paper reveals the results concerning the choice of alloy compositions containing Nd, Fe, Co and B to optimize the processing of ribbons with the high texture degree, high spontaneous magnetization, large coercivity as well the strong exchange-coupling interaction. The guides of producing these ribbons are presented in detail that are fruitful in a massive production of high-performance NdFeB-based anisotropic ribbons and magnets prepared thereof.
Higgs phenomenology in the flipped 3-3-1 model
Authors: Phạm Ngọc Thư , Nguyen Tuan Duy , Do Thi Huong
Published: September 2024

We investigate the Higgs phenomenology in the flipped 3-3-1 model with an assumption about the conservation of the B-L number. In addition to heavy scalar particles with masses at the new physics scale, there are three more light Higgs with masses at the electroweak scale, except for the SM-like Higgs. The new neutral CP-even scalar Higgs is identified as the scalar Higgs with a mass of 95 GeV, as hinted by CMS. For the light CP-even scalar, the characterization of Higgs coupling properties in terms of a series of Higgs coupling strength modifier parameters, which are defined as the ratios of the couplings of the Higgs bosons to particles to their corresponding SM values. We study several decay processes for the light CP-even scalar Higgs. Our numerical analysis is consistent with the experimental constraints.

Authors: Masyhudi Masyhudi
Published: September 2024

Abstract: The Prophet Muhammad migrated on the 12th of Rab>i' al-Awwal in the 13th year of his prophethood and this gave rise to different conversion issues in the Gregorian calendar. Some converted in March 622 AD, while others converted in September 622 AD. The purpose of this article is to discuss the problem of conversion by finding the root of the problem by looking at the calendar aspects of the Elephant year and the Hijrah year which were in effect during the time of the Prophet Muhammad. This research uses historical methods with a philological approach. The results of this research show that there are three calendar systems in the world, namely the solar system (sun), the lunar system (rising moon), and the luni-solar system (a combination of solar and lunar years). Then, the Hijrah of the Prophet Muhammad was on 12 Rabi>' al-Awwal in the 13th year of the prophethood or 53 years of the Elephant, the correct conversion is March 622 AD.
Keywords: Calendar of the time of the Prophet Muhammad, Elephant year, Hijrah year

The research provides acomprehensive examination of the legal regulationsconcerning internally displaced persons in Ukraine amidstwartime.A positive step for realizing the rights and guarantees of forced migrants consists in introduction by the Government of Ukraine of the following areas of assistance: monetary assis-tance, promotion of their employment, and introduction of compensation for the costs of paying for communal services for families who sheltered displaced persons free of charge. The specifics of the research subject, as well as its purpose and tasks determined the use of general scientific and special methods of scientific cog-nition.It has been established that an extremely important role in exercising rights and guarantees of forced migrants belongs to such a public initiative as “Prykhystok” (“shelter”). The problems of ensuring the rights and freedoms of internally displaced persons by state authorities in Ukraine are systematized, including: uncertain-ty of competence and lack of consistency in the activities of state authorities regarding the provision of rights and freedoms of internally displaced persons in Ukraine; imperfect accounting of internally displaced persons and their needs; and lack of a strategy for state financial provision of the needs of internally displaced persons
Tainted Love
Authors: Warne Thomas Charlotte
Published: September 2024

The film Tainted Love (2023) consists of scenes shot in a gold refinery, juxtaposed with clips of a squirming maternal body, overlaid with definitions of love (from Lomas' lexicography - Provisional list; 2021). It offers a meditation on the value of love in a capitalist system obsessed with profit and commodification, calling into question the value assigned to different modes of production. The unquantifiable value of caring for loved ones is juxtaposed with the solidity of gold – a material with a long history of use in jewellery and talismans associated with love, betrothal and devotion. The text will explore links between the invisible labour of familial caring, love, nurturing and the concepts of emotional labour and cognitive labour with reference to Alva Gotby (2023) and the emerging concept of the ‘motherload’.
Species distribution model accuracy is strongly influenced by the choice of calibration area
Authors: Luna Sergio , Peña-Peniche Alexander , Mendoza-Alfaro Roberto
Published: September 2024

Species distribution models (SDM) are widely used tools in ecology and conservation aimed at predicting the potential distribution of a species based on its environmental requirements and occurrence data. SDM face many challenges and uncertainties that influence their accuracy. Selecting the ideal calibration area is one of these difficulties. This study analyzes the influence of the extent of the calibration area on the accuracy of SDM through simulations with virtual species. Using bioclimatic variables, 100 virtual species were generated. Occurrence probabilities were determined based on environmental suitability, spatial sampling bias, and accessible areas. SDM were built using MaxEnt, varying size of calibration area, spatial filtering of occurrence records, predictor collinearity treatment, and regularization parameter. Model performance was assessed in terms of functional accuracy (true model accuracy) and discrimination accuracy (model ability to separate occurrence from random sites). Results show that the extent of the calibration area was the most influential factor (explaining 50% of the variance in functional accuracy), while regularization multiplier, predictor collinearity, and spatial thinning had minimal impact (about 4% of explained variance combined). Overall, larger calibration areas generally led to higher functional accuracy, although it varies across species. The correlation between functional and discrimination accuracy was relatively low, indicating that models performing well in one metric may not excel in the other. In conclusion, this research advances the discussion on calibration area selection, providing insights on its substantial effects on model accuracy. Our findings demonstrate that the size of the calibration area is one of the most critical factors affecting the accuracy of models, surpassing the influence of other factors. These insights highlight the importance of select appropriate calibration areas to improve model predictions and ensure more reliable applications of the models.
Arquitetura e o clima: Uma análise do ponto de vista bioclimático ao projeto Solaris Building do arquiteto Ken Yeang
Authors: Domingues Quétilan Rodrigues , Souto Ana Elisa Moraes , Sherer Minéia Johann
Published: September 2024

The works of Ken Yeang, an architect widely recognized for his work in what is known as “green architecture”, stand out for the fact that they are designed taking into account the climatic conditions of the places where his projects are implemented. In this sense, his works are aligned with the concept of bioclimatic architecture, which aims to design buildings adapted to the climate of each region. This article aims to characterize the climate of the city of Singapore and analyze the bioclimatic strategies applied to the Solaris building, evaluating whether these strategies meet local climate needs. The analysis methodology consisted of reviewing project documents, descriptive documents and images available on the website of the architects responsible for the work. The research results reveal the conscious use of certain elements in the building, corroborating the principles of bioclimatic architecture.
Acquisition of EFL During the Critical Period and Its Impact on L1 Arabic
Authors: Altaweel Reema S. , Alsager Haroon N.
Published: September 2024

Language development in children occurs without the explicit teaching of their rules, prompting parents to introduce languages in addition to their native language This study examines whether extensive exposure to English as a foreign language (EFL) detrimentally impacts children’s syntactic proficiency in their primary language (L1). The study involves Saudi Arabian children attending international schools in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from grades one to six, who were learning English as a foreign language. An elicited imitation task containing sentences demonstrating syntactic functions was used. The results showed a gradual difference in grade levels. Initially, the lower grades performed well in Arabic, whereas with each advancing grade, there was an improvement in English proficiency, accompanied by a slight decline in Arabic proficiency. This pattern suggests that younger students might have had limited exposure to English, whereas older students had more time to become acquainted with the language, thus influencing their linguistic abilities. This may imply a correlation between the amount of exposure to a foreign language and proficiency in one's native language. While this study provides valuable insights, it lacks detailed individual information on students' language backgrounds and exposure outside educational settings, limiting comprehensive insights.
Trauma Ebbs and Flows in Kopano Matlwa’s Evening Primrose
Authors: Ghafeer Dheyaa W. , Abdullah Omar Mohammed , Saleh Najlaa K.
Published: September 2024

In consequence of the suffering endured by their country during the colonial era, South African “Born Free” authors have openly output and published their explicit writings as a socio-political critique of the brutal colonial practices. These dehumanizing, brutal actions have violently emerged along various social axes, including abusive gang-violations, slavery, starvation policies, apartheid, and education deprivation, to regard a few. In theory, these severely malicious practices controversially prone the victim, who has been affected by one of them, to trauma. But they are, as investigated by other researchers, not wholly but partly reflected in Kopano Matlwa’s Evening Primrose. The current article, purposely, endeavors to affirm the traumatic agonies from which the fiction’s central persona has been greatly suffered for a number of reasons, gang-rape being the foremost among them. To itemize trauma-agitational ordeals, the paper will referentially invoke Cathy Caruth’s certain correspondent elicitations concerned with trauma and its inveterate memories to draw on. Thus, in the analysis process, the paper will methodologically set out to centralize the scope of its framework on Sigmund Freud’s ‘denial’ and also Dominick LaCapra’s comprehensive views on ‘acting out,’ sticking to different works by these two theorists in addition to making a reference to Caruth’s contributive trauma explorations. This is to conclusively see whether the traumatized characters’ memories will continue to be flowed or coped with throughout the foregoing fiction.
Interlanguage development among the learners of Indonesian language in Paris
Authors: Mahriyuni Mahriyuni , Pramuniati Isda , Sitinjak Dedi Rahmad
Published: September 2024

A greater comprehension of the learning process and the difficulties encountered by non-native learners is imperative given the increasing interest in learning Indonesian, especially among non-native speakers. This study looks at the interlanguage of beginning French learners of Indonesian as a Foreign Language. The main goal is to look at the several kinds of grammatical, syntactic, and lexical errors that appear in their written sentences. This research attempts to determine how learners' native language affects their learning of Indonesian by concentrating on typical mistakes in prepositional usage, adverbial application, word/phrase organization, vocabulary selection, and spelling/capitalization. The study employed a three-phase approach: data collection, data analysis, and interpretation. Data were gathered from written texts produced by beginner-level learners at the Indonesian Embassy in Paris, all of whom had completed at least one semester of instruction. The analysis identified and categorized the language inaccuracies, highlighting the frequency of errors and their correlation with the learners’ interlanguage development. The findings reveal that lexical errors, particularly in spelling, were the most frequent (35.84%), followed by syntactic errors in vocabulary selection (30.18%) and word/phrase arrangement (13.83%). Grammatical errors related to preposition (7.05%) and adverb (5.03%) usage were also significant. These errors are not isolated; rather, they reflect the learners' attempts to internalize Indonesian while being influenced by their native French linguistic structures. Examples such as the misuse of "di" for "ke" and "sudah" for "sedang" underscore the challenges learners face in differentiating between Indonesian and French grammar. This study concludes that these inaccuracies are indicative of the learners’ developing interlanguage, where their understanding of Indonesian rules is still evolving. The insights gained underscore the importance of contrastive analysis, targeted feedback, and adaptive teaching methods to help learners overcome these challenges. By addressing these issues, educators can enhance the effectiveness of BIPA programs, fostering greater proficiency in Indonesian among non-native speakers.
Pablo Melogno and Thomas Kuhn
Authors:   Leibniz Universität Hannover, Hoyningen-Huene Paul
Published: September 2024

This paper discusses seven of Melogno’s papers on Kuhn from 2019 to 2024. It analyzes Melogno’s arguments about the relationship between Kuhn’s early and late historiography, his rejection of the discovery-justification distinction, and his move towards questions of meaning and semantics in the 1980s. This paper argues that Melogno made vital contributions to “Kuhn studies,” carefully tracing developments in Kuhn’s thought over time. However, it also engages critically with some of Melogno’s central claims, like his argument that The Structure of Scientific Revolutions represented a sharp break from Kuhn’s earlier historiographical work. Overall, the paper concludes that Melogno’s research significantly advanced understanding of Kuhn’s philosophy and deserves to substantially influence future scholarships on Kuhn.

Desde una perspectiva heredera de la sociología de la traducción y de la historia de la traducción y la edición, este trabajo analiza una serie de escenas de traducción literaria que tuvieron lugar desde finales del siglo XIX y resultaron significativas para el circuito editorial inmediato que conforman las ciudades de Rosario, Santa Fe y Paraná. Se lleva a cabo un relevamiento contextualizado de la práctica traductora en su relación con la actividad editorial en la región, con atención en tres aspectos complementarios: la figura del traductor o traductora, las políticas editoriales de los sellos, y su posición relativa en el campo editorial nacional y en el mercado global de traducciones. Como resultado se identifican dinámicas históricas que permiten sacar conclusiones más allá de los casos particulares, y dirimir en qué grado la baja proporción de traducciones editadas en la región obedece a causas económicas y en qué grado a causas culturales.
KANTIAN "PERPETUAL PEACE" IN THE LIBERAL DISCOURSE OF DEMOCRATIC PEACE THEORY
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Didkovskyi Sviatoslav
Published: September 2024

B a c k g r o u n d . This article represents a reconstructive analysis of the idea of perpetual peace in the works of Immanuel Kant and liberal thinkers of the second half of the twentieth century as the forerunners and representatives of the democratic peace theory. The study examines the process of development and evolution of the concept of perpetual and universal peace in liberal discourse and its difference from the original project of I. Kant. M e t h o d s . Currently, the following methods are used in the work: the principle of abstraction, that is, the rejection of a number of properties, connections and relations of the object or phenomenon under study, which are not essential for solving the assigned problems, to concentrate on its separate elements; the principle of objectivity, that is, taking into account all factors that simplify the process of studying selected objects, phenomena and processes; the principle of unity of theory and practice, taking into account their interdependence. the principle of rational reconstruction, that is, consideration of the history of the development of selected issues within the framework of the rational requirements of scientific discourse. R e s u l t s . In the process of research, tendencies towards the development of the idea of perpetual peace within the framework of liberal humanistic discourse were revealed, which certainly led to changes in the fundamental provisions of the original concept of perpetual peace, endowing it with democratic and market-liberal elements more characteristic of current scientific discourse. C o n c l u s i o n s . The Kantian project of perpetual peace forms the fundamental basis of the liberal democratic peace theory. The idea of a world without war, as well as the mechanism for its establishment and support through the creation of a single political and economic space within the framework of a world federation, served as the ideological basis for the democratic peace theory, however, in the process of its adaptation to the conditions of the new discourse, the original project underwent serious changes in its basis. Using the example of the evolutionary historical process around the "perpetual peace" project, we can trace the general mechanism for the development of scientific knowledge within the framework of a changing discourse, which, on the one hand, adapts a dynamically developing idea to the more current requirements of scientific knowledge, but on the other hand, preserves the main direction of the chosen problematic for preservation integrity of scientific discourse.

Authors: Vasilenko A. V. , Lavrik M. Т. , Grigoreva P. A.
Published: September 2024

Neurorehabilitation is a set of therapeutic techniques focused on functional recovery in patients with a moderate-to-severe neurological impairment. In the structure of nervous system pathologies, a large proportion of neurorehabilitation measures is carried out in neurosurgery, especially after surgical interventions for brain benign neoplasms. Most benign tumors can be treated successfully, but functional disorders, cognitive decline and psychoemotional fluctuations are very often observed in patients of this profile. Besides, neurological symptoms such as convulsive epileptic seizures, headache and dysphagia are also quite common. For patients with tumorand/or treatment-related functional disorders, an individually selected interdisciplinary rehabilitation set is required with therapeutic techniques recommended to start in the early postoperative period. The review presents general principles and major up-to-date neurorehabilitation methods in benign brain tumor patients, which proved to be effective and safe. Every year the number of such techniques increase, that expands the possibilities of postoperative rehabilitation and recovery of neurosurgical patients.

Authors: Kroičs Kaspars , Saltanovs Rodions
Published: September 2024

Input filter is essential part of each switched mode power supply design. Important issue that must be solved in the design process is control of the high inrush current due to rapid rise of the voltage during initial connection of the power to the power supply. In the paper a single IGBT or MOSFET transistor is applied to control dv/dt in order to limit the high current spikes during initial power turn on or to limit overcurrent in microarc oxidation process. This inrush current limiting technique is beneficial because dv/dt control reduces the electromagnetic interference due to current and voltage spikes. As inrush current limiting device has minimal parts count the design is cost effective and reliable.
