The Use of Firearms and Tactics in the Movie Sicario
Authors: Zhu Ziyu
Published: December 2023

This research paper analyzes and addresses the issue of firearm usage and military tactics depicted in the movie Sicario. It mainly uses the movie as a primary example to study the portrayal of firearms and tactics within, comparing their performance and expression with reality and rectifying inaccuracies. The research finds that while the use of firearms and tactics in the movie Sicario is largely realistic, some concessions are made for the sake of plot development and character building, such as inconsistencies in machine gun portrayal and incorrect disassembly of a Glock 19 pistol. However, these elements do not affect the film’s potential as a reference for other movies of similar genre. Therefore, this research aims to offer insight to researchers in related fields for future practical operations and meaningful contributions.

The essay employs scholarly reports and war documentaries to shed light on the influence of nationalism in these wars. The conclusion drawn from this research is that nationalism indeed played a significant role in both world wars, with a more crucial impact on World War I and a vital yet distinct role in making World War II the bloodiest war in history. This research serves as a compelling reminder of the need to grasp the complexities of nationalism, recognize its potential for devastating outcomes, and promote open discourse on this critical topic.
Interest-Oriented Dance Education: Goals and Implementation Pathways
Authors: Wang Jingjing
Published: December 2023

With the increasing emphasis on quality education in China, learning dance has become an essential way for more and more young people to improve their quality of life. However, the traditional approach of specialized teaching of dance skills dominates the teaching practice of dance teachers. The theory of multiple intelligences should guide popular dance education to stimulate everyone's interest in dance and provide targeted support and assistance based on the difficulties encountered by students in dance learning. This will minimize the number of students giving up in the middle of their studies and shift the focus of teaching from the development of professional skills to the appreciation and experience of dance. The focus of teaching should shift from "developing professional skills" to "appreciating and experiencing the charm of dance". This article reveals the characteristics and common problems of young people's dance learning, some of the misconceptions that exist in teachers' teaching, and analyzes the target orientation and ways of achieving dance education for the public. This study is of reference value in promoting the healthy development of dance education, based on surveys and interviews with dance education practitioners and students and observation of the teaching process.

Authors: Wang Jinxuan , Zhang Jinbao
Published: December 2023

This paper delves into the hurdles and prejudices encountered by vocational and technical education in China, employing Carol Bacchi's WPR (What's the Problem Represented to Be?) framework for analysis. It underscores the uneven allocation of resources, societal viewpoints, and the influence of economic disparities on access to education. Drawing inspiration from the vocational education paradigms in Switzerland and Germany, the paper proposes alternative solutions. It underscores the urgency for a holistic overhaul of the education system, amalgamation of general and vocational education, and a shift in societal attitudes. The paper concludes that tackling these issues will pave the way for equitable educational opportunities and brighter futures for all Chinese students.

Authors: Deng Junhui
Published: December 2023

Japanese-Chinese homographs are an essential topic in Japanese education research. This study focuses on Japanese-Chinese homographs in both the Chinese and Japanese languages. It analyzes the perception of Japanese beginners, learning difficulties, and teaching strategies using data collected from questionnaires. The study finds that as Japanese learning progresses, students gradually improve their understanding of Japanese-Chinese homographs, but misuse still occurs. Students generally perceive learning Japanese-Chinese homographs as challenging and deserving of attention. Regarding teaching strategies, students prefer self-summaries and Japanese-Japanese translations for learning Japanese-Chinese homographs. Based on these findings, the study proposes Japanese teaching and learning suggestions.
Phenomenology and Stream of Consciousness: The French New Wave and Modern Films
Authors: Chen Jiayang
Published: December 2023

Phenomenology is widely recognised as a philosophical framework that pertains to the comprehension of the universe and the investigation of epistemology, emphasising a shift towards seeing entities in their true form, while arguing that the outward manifestations are indicative of their intrinsic nature. The inclusion of consciousness in literary works deviates from conventional psychological portrayals due to the presence of the character's subconscious mind, which remains inaccessible to their awareness, alongside a representation of reality. Within the realm of film, the concept of stream of consciousness is translated into a visual representation, often referred to as a shot, which serves as a metaphorical depiction of the character's complete focus or absence thereof. This article posits that the topic of stream of consciousness remains prevalent in contemporary cinematic narratives by drawing a comparison between the French New Wave and current cinema.
A Study of English Teaching Differences Between China and The United States
Authors: Zheng Yingjie
Published: December 2023

According to the existing literature, the analysis of the teaching content, teaching method and assessment model in China and the United States has the same trend: Scholars generally believe that compared with the English language teaching system in China, the methods of English language education in the United States are more diverse, the educational goals are more realistic to life, and the evaluation criteria are more comprehensive. The factors cause this difference is worth investigating. This paper evaluates the applicability of these views in today's world through a questionnaire survey. Specifically, this paper attempts to assess whether the similarities and differences that scholars have found between the English language teaching systems in China and the United States still exist today or whether the development trends between the English language teaching systems of the two countries are trending in the same direction today. The study surveyed Chinese students in the U.S. - a target group with dual English learning experiences in China and the U.S. The results of the paper show that the effectiveness and applicability of the English teaching systems of the two countries need to be discussed in the cultural environment of the two countries, and there is no one-sided argument that either system is better.
Taxation in imperial China and the West
Authors: Yu Yichuan
Published: December 2023

Imperial China had a durable taxation system that included land tax, poll tax, and labor services, the form and weight of the three taxes changed over time, the most representative tax system was the Zu Yong Diao system, whose levy standards were initially based on the person and levied in kind, however, the An Lushan rebellion changed the system, and the new tax system, two-tax law, remained stable in the late-imperial time. Transformed the tax system into the land-based and monetary levy. Remarkably, the main system of the three taxes was stable in imperial China, Meanwhile, the system of tax shifted greatly in West Europe, the consumption tax and heritage tax were founded at that time which well increased government revenue and supported the rise of the West. The relatively outmoded taxation, worsened the fiscal of late-imperial China, and separated the center and prefecture . The author argues that China was impeded by its severe principle-agent problem, and the structure of agricultural society aggravated the corruption in prefectures though the center was forced to maintain a low tax rate. Although the Qing dynasty had made a long prosperous period and impulsed profound reforms in taxation, it would fall into crisis as preceding dynasties in the 19th century even without Western threat.

Published: December 2023

IP is a word used frequently in recent years, meaning intellectual property rights legally owned to one's own intellectual achievements. The IP market is a huge, not yet fully developed market with huge room for growth. IP marketing is to use the type and characteristics of IP to promote, and then gain fans and get marketing purposes. In today's situation where many famous companies have adopted IP marketing, the study of IP marketing model and economic role can promote economic development and propose new ideas for the marketing strategy of enterprises. Taking Universal Studios, a well-known IP, as an example, after in-depth understanding and analysis of its marketing methods, we compare it with other IPs both at home and abroad through survey research, case study analysis, and summary of experience, and then summarise the specific role of IPs in promoting economic development as well as the more common IP development models.
The correlation between the physical and psychological violence experienced and Chinese people’s inclination of dependent personality disorder
Authors: Feng Shuhan , Li Shuchen
Published: December 2023

The aim of the study was to explore the influence of physical and psychological violence on Chinese people’s formation of dependent personality disorder (DPD) tendencies. By studying the relationship between violence and DPD, awareness about the potential consequences of violence and the importance of early intervention and prevention can be raised and emphasized. This knowledge can aid in developing targeted prevention strategies and promoting a society that actively works towards reducing violence and supporting mental well-being. The research employed the quantitative study method of self-report. Quantitative data were collected from August 17th to August 22nd, 2023, by using a self-reporting questionnaire selected from the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis II Personality Disorders (SCID-II) diagnostic questionnaire as well as questions related to the participant’s personal experience. The study result shows an overall positive correlation between physical and psychological violence experienced and the tendency of DPD. However, the positive correlation is insignificant which may imply the importance of other possible influences such as cognitive impairment and social reality.
Culture and its Role as Foundation for Australian Politics: A Critical Analysis
Authors: Shen Qingtian
Published: December 2023

Culture plays a significant role in shaping national identity, political values and beliefs in Australia. In Australia, a multicultural society with a diverse range of ethnicities and cultures, the role of culture in shaping political ideologies and policies cannot be ignored. This paper aims to provide a critical analysis of the extent to which culture provides a foundation for politics in Australia, its influence on political institutions, policies and processes, and the challenges that arise from cultural diversity. It is argued that culture can provide a foundation for politics in Australia, but this is not without complexities and challenges. This paper critically analyses the relationship between culture and politics in Australia, examining the impact of cultural factors such as Indigenous heritage, multiculturalism, and globalization on political discourse and policy making. Through an exploration of relevant literature and case studies, this paper argues that while culture can be a foundation for politics in Australia, it must be balanced with other factors such as economic interests, social justice, and international relations.
Attorno al monumento in ricordo di Roberto Franceschi. Metafora, invenzione strutturale e funzionalità nel dibattito della cultura militante di metà anni Settanta
Authors: Capriolo Andrea
Published: December 2023

Il presente contributo si propone di analizzare gli eventi che portarono alla scelta di un maglio industriale quale monumento in ricordo di Roberto Franceschi, studente bocconiano militante del Movimento Studentesco ucciso durante una manifestazione nel 1973. Nel dibattito sorto attorno alla scelta dell'oggetto si confrontarono prospettive culturali antitetiche: da una parte i membri del Movimento Studentesco - supportati anche da una serie di artisti, come Alik Cavaliere - che avrebbero voluto ricordare Franceschi con una scultura di ispirazione realista, dall'altra i "progettisti", tra cui spiccava Enzo Mari, che avrebbero voluto commemorare il giovane attraverso una metaforizzazione dei contenuti cari alla cultura comunista e studentesca di metà anni Settanta: il lavoro e lo studio. Il distacco del monumento dedicato a Franceschi rispetto ai classici attributi di una scultura di stampo realista risulta evidente dal confronto con un altro monumento dedicato negli stessi anni a due "martiri" della Nuova Sinistra, la stele bronzea dedicata a Giannino Zibecchi e Claudio Varalli dallo scultore Nicola Neonato.
“Abitare i confini”. Esperienze relazionali a Roma dalle Disordinazioni a Studi Ricerche Contemporanee
Authors: Molho Sara
Published: December 2023

In Italia, le pratiche artistiche relazionali degli anni Novanta presentavano caratteri peculiari rispetto al più noto scenario internazionale. Pur essendo altrettanto caratterizzate dall’attenzione verso aspetti processuali e collaborativi e da un’inedita dilatazione nel tempo e nello spazio, spesso le ricerche italiane incorporavano legami con l’attivismo politico e con la tecnologia, e a volte prevedevano l’adozione di nomi collettivi, reagendo così alle frequenti aggregazioni sorte nei decenni precedenti intorno a esigenze di mercato, più che a un reale sentire comune. Entro questo ritorno a pratiche concettuali e politicizzate si inserivano, a partire dal 1994, le Disordinazioni, azioni “disordinanti” e inaspettate concepite inizialmente da Giuliano Lombardo nello spazio urbano di Roma, seguite dalle esperienze del gruppo dei Giochi del Senso e/o non-senso, poi ribattezzato Studi Ricerche Contemporanee.
ocial media and itsimpact on child’s oral health: A review
Authors: Kalaivanan Dhanraj , Saleem Sumaiyya , Chamarthi Vishnu Rekha
Published: December 2023

Oral health has been found to have a profound effect on systemic health. The home environment has a huge influence on children's dental health and care. The family's influence on children's oral health and care is well recognized, and efforts to prevent Early Childhood Caries (ECC) development have focused on parents. Parental education, dental neglect, and difficulty in obtaining health care all serve as hurdles for the general public to adopt suggested child oral health-related behaviors. According to a recent survey, Internet penetration in India has reached about 47 percent in 2021, up from around 4 percent in 2007. The compelling power of internet-based knowledge and social media content has taken precedence over the world. Furthermore, the post-pandemic world and the generation affected directly by the aftermath of COVID have completely relied on social media and their opinions to maintain oral health. Delivering accurate and practical information to parents about their children's dental health is critical, but it can be difficult. These obstacles can be solved by targeting parents via social media networking and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). This expository narrative focuses on explaining the various facets of social media and their impact on the oral health of children and adolescents.

Authors: Omran Entesar A. A. , Elfituri Zinab Y. K. , Bshaena Amina M. , Suaiee Abdalhalim M. A.
Published: December 2023

The most critical and most important event in acute inflammation is the migration of neutrophils and other inflammatory cells from blood to the site of injury, immune response or infection. Leukocyte recruitment occurs in response to pro-inflammatory mediators such as cytokines and interleukins which are produced at the site of inflammation. Protein kinase C (PKC) is a family of kinases that are involved in the pathophysiology of a variety of inflammatory diseases or disorders such as arthritis, asthma and myocarditis. The effect of Ro-31-8220, the selective PKC inhibitor, on leukocyte transmigration in various inflammatory models is still incompletely understood. The present study explored the effect of the selective and pan inhibitor of PKC, Ro-31-8220, on CXCL1/KC induced leukocyte recruitment especially neutrophils in acute peritonitis model in mice. Ro-31-8220 treatment significantly attenuated the emigration of leukocytes predominately neutrophils in response to CXCL1/KC chemokine. Thereby, Ro-31-8220 treatment ameliorated CXCL1/KC induced acute peritonitis by interfering with emigration of leukocytes. Collectively, our study demonstrates that pharmacological inhibition of PKC in general, may provide the basic key of therapeutic strategy for many inflammatory diseases or immune linked disorders in which PKC was implicated
Munasabah dan Urgensinya dalam Tafsir al-Qur’an
Authors: Salam Muhammad  Tohir , Ihya' Ulumudin
Published: December 2023

This research focuses on munasabah, or conformity, in the al-Qur'an. This research uses qualitative methods, and data collection uses documentation. In data analysis, researchers used inductive, deductive, and descriptive analysis. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the Ulama' are divided into two groups in responding to the application of munasabah in the al-Qur'an: those who are pro and those who are against. Pro-Secularists argue that munasabah is very helpful in understanding the Koran. Meanwhile, opposing scholars argue that the verses of the Koran have their own historical context. So, it is not appropriate for munasabah to be applied in all verses of the al-Qur'an.

El ideal de la villa como comunidad y su realidad de estigmatización: la experiencia de la Villa Don Bosco en Limpio
Authors: Caballero Salustiana
Published: December 2023

Este trabajo aborda el desarrollo de un asentamiento urbano planificado, desde la visión y experiencia de sus promotores y sus habitantes iníciales. Se trata de un estudio exploratorio inédito, denominado “El ideal de la villa como comunidad y su realidad de estigmatización: La experiencia de la Villa Don Bosco en Limpio”. La misma fue realizada entre los años 2011 y 2012. Sin embargo, posee vigencia considerando que existen escasos trabajos que indagan los efectos de urbanizaciones planificadas en el Paraguay y puede contribuir a las políticas públicas que promueven soluciones habitacionales en la actualidad, más ante el acelerado proceso de urbanización que afronta el país. La recolección de datos fue realizada desde una metodología cualitativa a través de 15 entrevistas semiestructuradas a informantes claves, de ellas a 8 mujeres y 7 varones, entre planificadores y primeros habitantes. A partir del análisis se constató que el proceso de esta urbanización mantuvo dos ideales, por un lado, los planificadores deseaban formar una Comunidad tradicional en términos sociológicos, mientras que, por el otro, los primeros habitantes pretendían la propiedad y vivienda propia al estilo de una sociedad/ciudad. Así también, añoraban salir del bañado para abandonar el estigma de marginales, sin embargo, con la denominación de Villa, pasaron a construir una nueva identidad social, la de ser villeros, villa gua, y con ella una renovación de sus condiciones de estigmatización.

Las entrevistas fueron realizadas a la población beneficiada por la implementación del Plan de Reasentamiento a actores clave, técnicos y beneficiarios de referencia con un nivel de involucramiento que permitió obtener datos válidos para el análisis; independientemente a las condiciones iniciales de dominio de la tierra, se consideraron todos los impactos devenidos del Reasentamiento, resaltándose que el estilo de vida, de las familias cambió radicalmente, ya que pudieron acceder a condiciones de vida de calidad, con cobertura de los servicios básicos, formalización y permanencia en la misma zona, varias familias retomaron y mantuvieron sus actividades laborales iniciales, sus hijos pudieron retomar sus estudios en los colegios cercanos, además de sostener el acceso a salud, recreación y transporte. Para los técnicos sociales representó una experiencia de aprendizaje válida y significativa, que contó con un acompañamiento y articulación sostenida.
When the Brain and the Heart Collide: A Complex Diagnostic and Management Dilemma of Coexisting Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures and Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy - A Case Report
Authors: Yadav Kamal , Aggarwal Neeraj
Published: December 2023

Epilepsy is a prevalent neurological disorder affecting around one percent of the global population. Accurate diagnosis is paramount for effective treatment, but challenging-to-diagnose seizures require a comprehensive evaluation to exclude other conditions. Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) or pseudoseizures are sudden episodes resembling epileptic seizures, but not arising from abnormal cerebral electrical activity. PNES are often misdiagnosed as epilepsy, leading to delayed appropriate psychological therapy and unwarranted antiepileptic medication use. We report a unique case of a patient initially diagnosed and treated as epilepsy, who was later diagnosed with PNES during hospitalization. Additionally, the patient presented Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM), a rare stress-induced cardiomyopathy, posing a diagnostic and management challenge alongside PNES. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of coexisting PNES and TCM, which warrants further investigation.
The Predictors of Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms in Recovered COVID-19 Patients: Illness-Related Factors, Depressive and Anxiety Symptoms, Alexithymia and Social Support

Published: December 2023

Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic had a profound impact on millions of people, affecting their biological, psychological, and social well-being. The biological effects of SARS-CoV-2 have reportedly been linked to cognitive, emotional, and behavioral symptoms. Traumatic experiences associated with the disease and treatment procedures are regarded as potential risk factors for the emergence of posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS); as a result, the severity of the disease and the experience of hospitalization can significantly influence the mental well-being of individuals who have contracted COVID-19. This study aims to assess the factors that influence the development of PTSS among individuals who have recovered from COVID-19.
Method: Sociodemographic features, hospitalization status, and physical symptoms of COVID-19 were assessed and PTSS, alexithymia, perceived social support, anxiety, and depression were examined with validated self-report questionnaires (Impacts of Events Scale-Revised, Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20, The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) in a sample with 105 inpatients and 107 outpatients.
Results: PTSS and depression scores of inpatients and outpatients were not significantly different (t(210)=1.246, p=0.214, and t(210)=-0.493, p=0.623, respectively), however, anxiety scores of outpatients were higher (t(209.880)=-2.938, p=0.004). Hospitalization did not significantly affect avoidance and hyperarousal symptoms but was associated with increased intrusion symptoms (t(210)=2.095, p=0.037).
In a hierarchical regression model, predictors of PTSS were identified; in step 3 sleep disturbance and initial loss of smell and taste were significant factors (β=0.282, p<0.010; β=0.163, p=0.019, respectively). In step 4, the effects of depression, anxiety, and alexithymia were superior to all other variables (β=0.211, β=0.318, β=0.261, respectively, p<0.010) and initial loss of smell and taste and sleep disturbance did not remain significant in the final model. The final results indicated that psychological assessments made a distinctive contribution to the overall variation in Impacts of Events Scale-Revised scores, extending beyond demographic characteristics, individual variations, and COVID-19 symptoms. Additionally, social support had an indirect impact on PTSS, which was mediated by anxiety, depression, and alexithymia (total bunstd=-0.446, S.E.boot=0.057, CIboot 95% (-0.563, -0.338)). The direct effect of social support on PTSS was non-significant (cunstd=-0.004, S.E.=0.072, CI 95% (-0.146, 0.137)).
Conclusion: This study contributes to the literature about the worldwide effects of COVID-19 on mental trauma by establishing the possible predictors for PTSS; and highlights the importance of reflecting on the COVID-19 history of patients and providing appropriate support.
Effects of Self-Esteem and Coping Skills on Compulsive Buying in Patients with Major Depression: The Moderator Role of Temperament and Character
Authors: Peker Oguz , Caykoylu Ali , Ugurlu Gorkem , Ugurlu Mustafa
Published: December 2023

Objective: In this study, we aimed to test how compulsive buying behavior is affected by self-esteem and coping skills in depressed patients and whether this is related to temperament character traits.
Materials and Methods: 106 patients diagnosed with major depressive disorder according to DSM-5 diagnostic criteria and 98 healthy volunteers were included in the study. Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS), Compulsive Buying Scale (CBS), Compulsive Online Buying Scale (COBS), Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced-R (COPE-R), Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) were applied to the participants.
Results: A significant difference was found in patients with depression in terms of compulsive buying, coping skills, and self-esteem compared to the control group. In addition, the difference between the total scores of the temperament dimensions of harm avoidance, novelty seeking, persistence, and the character dimensions of self-directedness and cooperativeness was found to be significant. There are two models in the study. The firstly revealed that depression severity does not directly affect on compulsive buying behavior, but compulsive buying behavior is indirectly affected by self-esteem and coping skills. The secondly showed that temperament and character traits directly affect coping and self-esteem regardless of the severity of depression.
Conclusion: The presence and severity of compulsive buying behavior in patients with depression can be interpreted as an indicator of decreased self-esteem and frequently used maladaptive coping mechanisms.

Published: December 2023

A proposta é simples: um breve ensaio contemplando as noções psicanalíticas titularmente elencadas (Discurso do analista; Desejo do Analista; Ato Psicanalítico) de modo a relacioná-las, implicá-las ordenadamente em série e mostrá-las vivas, articuláveis e, por fim, dispensáveis após o uso – tal como se pode esperar de um certo sofrer os efeitos daquilo que se fala, isto é, de um processo psicanalítico, quer seja, de uma psicanálise. É uma forma de formalizar tais coisas, a prática, praticamente em si, num giro de cada vez mais para dentro, centrífugo, já que não pode não ser assim, peculiaridade que há no levar-se à sério tamanho objeto de processo esquivo e ex-cêntrico. Que o leitor saia operado, em projeto de não se furtar, é algo que se pode almejar.

Introdução: Doença arterial coronária e acidente vascular cerebral decorrentes de aterosclerose são causas de morbimortalidade, caracterizadas por disfunção endotelial, calcificação, obstrução arterial. Embora estratégias otimizadas para tratamento medicamentoso e revascularização sejam implementadas ocorre ainda alta incidência de eventos recorrentes. Resistência à insulina é caracterizada pela redução da sensibilidade à insulina em órgãos e tecidos insulino-dependentes e implica em alto risco de doença aterosclerótica. O índice triglicérides-glicose foi proposto para identificar resistência à insulina. Hiperuricemia aumenta o estresse oxidativo, a proliferação de células de músculo liso e a liberação de substâncias pró-inflamatórias com dano endotelial. Objetivo: realizar revisão bibliográfica narrativa para avaliar o papel do índice como marcador de resistência à insulina e sua relação com hiperuricemia na identificação de pacientes com maior risco cardiovascular. Metodologia: Busca bibliográfica de artigos em maio de 2023 através dos descritores em saúde na língua inglesa: “trygliceride-glucose index” AND “hyperuricemia” AND “coronary artery disease”, publicados entre maio de 2022 a maio de 2023, identificando artigos disponíveis com acesso livre, na base PubMed Central. Resultados: De 34 artigos encontrados foram excluídos 5 que não atendiam à pesquisa, permanecendo ao final, 28 publicações. O índice triglicérides-glicose foi proposto para predizer resistência à insulina, pode ser confiável em termos de sensibilidade/especificidade e pode predispor hiperuricemia. Conclusão: Um maior valor do índice se associou a risco aumentado de eventos cardiovasculares e mortalidade na população geral. Hiperuricemia é biomarcador para doenças metabólicas e cardiovasculares, se correlacionando com a função das células beta, resistência à insulina, declínio da taxa de filtração glomerular e doenças cardiovasculares.

Men cho ngói gốm thường trong và có hệ số truyền năng lượng mặt trời cao và hệ số phản xạ năng lượng mặt trời thấp. Do đó, năng lượng mặt trời đi vào trong phần thân ngói nhiều và bức xạ ra môi trường xung quanh làm giảm khả năng che chắn, cách nhiệt, chống nóng của ngói gốm tráng men. Oxit TiO2 được thêm vào men ngói gốm trong với các hàm lượng khác nhau 0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% và 10% và khảo sát sự ảnh hưởng của nó tới khả năng phản xạ năng lượng mặt trời của ngói gốm tráng men. Kết quả khảo sát cho thấy khả năng phản xạ năng lượng mặt trời của ngói gốm tráng men tăng lên tỷ lệ thuận với hàm lượng TiO2 trong men, tăng đột biến tại 6,5% và cao nhất tại 8% và gần như không tăng nữa. Tại hàm lượng 8% TiO2, men ngói có hệ số phản xạ năng lượng mặt trời đạt 0,84. Ngoại quan của men ngói cũng thay đổi theo hàm lượng TiO2 trong men, từ trong suốt chuyển dần sang trắng.
