Incipient Racism? When Does it Start? Racial Attitude Development in Young Children
Authors: Katz Phyllis A.
Published: October 2020

The present study examined the forerunners of racial attitudes in two groups of children (from Black families and White families). Assessments of various cognitive and perceptual skills were conducted longitudinally at seven age points from six months to three years of age. Racial attitudes were present in almost half of the children by three, although not all had yet exhibited mastery of underlying skills. Both groups of children exhibited similar pro-same race attitudes at 36 months, but some divergence in developmental patterning began at 30 months of age. Some parental behaviors such as parental willingness to discuss race and diversity of the child’s environment were related to attitudes at three.
SAUDI STUDENTS’ AND TEACHERS’ STRATEGIES AND BELIEFS IN LEARNING AND TEACHING ENGLISH IN SAUDI ARABIA
Authors: Nather Eiman
Published: October 2020

This preliminary study investigates the Saudi public high school student deficiencies in speaking English and seeks ways to improve the curriculum opportunities for students in English-speaking classrooms. Saudi public schools aim to educate students to use English in real-life communication. However, the majority of Saudi high school students graduate with low levels of understanding and competence in communicating in English. This pilot study examines the strategies that Saudi high school teachers and students have followed to teach and learn English in public schools and investigates their beliefs about effective teaching and learning strategies. The study is based on a questionnaire. Ninety female students of years seven, eight, and nine and their six teachers were drawn from two public schools in Riyadh. The findings of this study reflect the importance of collaborative work between stakeholders including supervisors, teachers, parents, and students. In addition, they emphasize that besides the teachers’ beliefs, learners’ needs and expectations should be taken into account, to increase the likelihood of a more productive and successful learning environment. The consensus was that the best results are achieved when interesting activities and interactive teaching strategies are used to support the mandatory course-book.

Effect of Peer Tutoring On Students’ Knowledge Retention In Office Technology And Management In Polytechnics In South West, Nigeria.
Authors: Ehirheme Pauline Egberanmwen
Published: October 2020

Academic knowledge and transfer of knowledge retention after graduation to the workplace by office technology and management (OTM) students in Polytechnics has been worrisome to stakeholders in education. This study seeks to determine if peer tutoring instructional technique could solve these aforementioned problems. The study adopted a quasi-experimental design of a pre-test, post-test and delayed posttest (knowledge retention) for non-randomized un-equal two groups. The population for the study is 503 National Diploma (ND) II OTM students in four Polytechnics in South West, Nigeria. Through purposive sampling, we selected a sample of 227 (120 experimental and 107 control) students from two polytechnics in two states. These instruments; lesson plan for the experimental group, lesson plan for the control group and Office Technology and Management Achievement Test (OTMAT), were used for data collection. Three OTM experts validated the instruments. The reliability coefficient of the OTMAT was established as 0.86 through the use of Kuder-Richardson formula 21 techniques. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research question while Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the hypothesis. Results revealed knowledge gain for the experimental group. Thus, peer-tutoring enhances academic knowledge retention among OTM polytechnic students. It is therefore recommended that peer-tutoring instructional technique be used to teach OTM students in Polytechnics. Stakeholders should create platforms (workshops and conferences) for OTM lecturers and students in Polytechnics to utilize the peer-tutoring technique in the teaching/learning process.

Coronaviruses are a class of enveloped RNA viruses that cause infections of the respiratory tract, characterized by fever, tiredness, dry cough, diarrhea, loss of smell or taste, chest pain and shortness of breath. Many patients with mysterious pneumonia were distinguished in December 2019 in Wuhan. The pneumonia of obscure origin was found to be ascribed to a novel coronavirus and described as novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP). The Chinese authorities initially reported the wave of mysterious pneumonia on December 31st, 2019 and it was declared as an outbreak of international concern on January 30th, 2020. A systematic search of relevant research was conducted, and a total of 58 primary research articles were identified, analyzed, and debated to better understand the hematologic profile in COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease) infection and its clinical implications. All the findings in this article manifest a true impression of the current interpretation of hematological findings of the SARS-COV-2 disease. Pathophysiology of COVID-19 disease can be better interpreted by taking into consideration the hematologic parameters. Clinical implications of the hematologic profile of COVID-19 patients including cytokine storm, coagulation profile, and thrombophilic complications are under-recognized. Therefore, this review focuses on the coagulation profile, cytokine storm, and its treatment options. The role of pre-existing thrombophilia in COVID-19 patients and how it could result in the poor prognosis of the disease is also debated. The recent data suggests that hypercoagulability could be the potential cause of fatalities due to COVID-19. Potential effects of tocilizumab, metronidazole, and ulinastatin in suppressing cytokine storm may help to treat SARS-COV-2 infection. This review also highlights the significance of thrombophilia testing in SARS-CoV-2 patients depending on the clinical features and especially in pregnant women.

Elementos histórico-conceptuales de los sistemas educativos occidentales: el caso costarricense en el marco de la globalización
Authors: Rodríguez Varela Francisco José
Published: October 2020

Thinking of education requires an exercise of epistemological surveillance thatallows visualizing the complex gear existing among the historical processes ofhuman evolution, where organizational models are brought about to seek thedevelopment or wellbeing of individuals, besides increasingly evident trendsin which knowledge is subordinated to institutionalism. In this regard, it isimportant to review some general features of education that are typical of thewestern world –with an emphasis on the Costa Rican scenario- and that allowestablishing a dialogue between stages such as colonization and modernity –for example-, and the creation of educational models that replicate the modusoperandi of the economic system, leading to a landscape that does not matchthe principles of a search for overall wellbeing and respect for the diversity ofhuman thought under a framework of the ethical and philosophical structure ofeducation as a fundamental right of every human being.
Análisis comparativo entre el cuento “El Tonto de las adivinanzas” de María Isabel Carvajal y “El Adivino” de Alejandro Afanásiev

Analysis of archetypes isexposed like the stages of the hero's journey, numerology, and nicknames ofcharacters. As conclusions, it is determined that in the Costa Rican collectivememory, this story has not been one of the most representative becausethis paradigm has mainly permeated through Christianity. Besides, there is asubstantial differentiation in the stages of the hero's journey, the departure,the initiation, and the return, in comparison to the experiences of femalecharacters in other stories by the same Costa Rican author.

El socialismo cubano y el culto a la personalidad
Authors: Barrera Rivera Abner
Published: October 2020

Since the triumph of the Cuban Revolution in 1959, its adversaries developeda large literary industry (articles, books and videos) with the aim ofattacking, assaulting and defaming it; among the accusations they made, wasthat in Cuba the cult of Fidel Castro's personality was promoted. The purposeof this article is to analyze if the cult of personality existed or exists in Cubansocialism. For that, it was resorted to some investigations made by journalists,historians and writers; also to the testimonies of different personalities,many of them foreign to politics and the Cuban Revolution, but who havebeen on the island, knowing it. The results of the article indicate that there isno evidence to sustain that Cuban socialism practiced or practices the cult ofpersonality; the government from the beginning not only did not allow it orpromote it, but it also prohibited it and fought against it. And that Fidel Castrohimself until the last days of his life, rejected that, even after his death,his name or his image was used for these purposes.

Interinazgo en la Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica: sus implicaciones en el ámbito laboral y el vínculo institucional
Authors: Rodríguez Soto Maritza
Published: October 2020

This research analyzes the implications of the condition of “interinazgo” inthe relationship between the work experiences of an interim academic andadministrative population of the Faculty of Social Sciences and the Facultyof Philosophy and Letters of the National University (UNA), which allowsto know the sense of affiliation and belonging with the university, cooperation,and communication, among other aspects, of people who work in theinstitution. This article is a product of the advances of the research called“Implications of the condition of “interinazgo” in the subjectivity and relatedrelations of the working population of the National University”, whichis executed from the Political Threshold Program, of the Institute of SocialStudies in Population of the UNA. At the methodological level, eight semistructuredinterviews were conducted on the perceptions of each functionary;the analysis of the results is based on the theory of the Inverted Cone Schemeelaborated by Dr. Enrique Pichón Rivière, Social Psychologist. With the informationcollected, aspects related to the management of power, situationsof structural violence and institutional suffering that are experienced in theUNA are evidenced. Among the main findings obtained, it stands out that thecondition of “interinazgo” has implications in the daily life of the personsinterviewed reflected in each of the vectors of the inverted cone, such as thefeeling of belonging to the University, the commitment to their work and theover-demand in order to obtain the property (permanent hiring), among otheraspects of reality, faced by teachers and administrators called “non-owners”.
Las huellas ocultas: La Teología de la prosperidad en América Latina a la luz de sus orígenes ideológicos en el movimiento del Nuevo pensamiento
Authors: Quesada Chaves Marco Antonio
Published: October 2020

In the last three decades, Christian groupings have managed to project andinstall themselves gradually in the political structures of several Latin Americancountries, managing to occupy diverse governmental instances in orderto promote their own agendas. Given this phenomenon, it is important tocritically and investigatively address the theological discourse that many ofthese congregations and political parties promote, which is known as theProsperity Gospel. In the present article, a historical survey is carried outto trace what its ideological origins are, one of its main sources being thephilosophical and spiritual movement of the New Thought, which emergedin the mid-nineteenth century in the United States. In this way, a questionarises about whether the Prosperity Gospel is really theology, by discussingand contrasting its main slogans from a theological and critical perspective.

Authors: Бондар Анастасія , Байрамов Руслан
Published: October 2020

Мета: визначити стратегію розвитку сумо в Харківській області.
Матеріал і методи: проаналізовано Статут громадської організації «Харківська обласна федерація сумо» та Націо- нальну стратегію з оздоровчої рухової активності в Україні на період до 2025 року «Рухова активність – здоровий спосіб життя – здорова нація» (2016), системний аналіз та метод моделювання дав можливість побудувати стратегічну модель розвитку сумо у Харківській області, соціологічне опитування серед жителів Харківської області сприяло визначенню думки населення щодо сумо та перспектив його розвитку у нашому регіоні, метод експертних оцінок використано для оцінки розробленого в ході дослідження перспективного плану розвитку сумо в Харківській області.
Результати: у ході дослідження визначено, що сумо притаманні ознаки європейської моделі професійного спорту: відсутність чіткого поділу між аматорським і професійним напрямом; спортивно-комерційна спрямованість розвитку. Окреслено стратегію розвитку сумо в Харківській області, подано результати попередніх досліджень щодо перспек- тивного плану розвитку сумо та запропоновано стратегічну модель розвитку сумо, яка базується на принципах сис- темності, науковості, цілепокладання, гуманізму, включає мережу організаційно-управлінських заходів, що зумовлю- ють досягнення поставлених завдань, таких як зростання популярності та конкурентоспроможності сумо; покращення спортивних результатів на міжнародних змаганнях сумо; збільшення кількості людей, які займаються сумо.
Висновки: Отримані результати доповнюють і розширюють сучасні наукові дані щодо стратегічного управління роз- витком неолімпійського спорту в Україні. Розроблений перспективний план розкриває мережу заходів, які покладені в основу моделі і сприятимуть вирішенню стратегічних завдань щодо розвитку сумо в регіоні. Для ефективного вико- нання перспективного плану ми пропонуємо Громадській організації «Харківська обласна федерація сумо» створити структурний підрозділ «Центр розвитку сумо» зі статусом Юридичної особи, для проведення власної господарської діяльності, що передбачена статутом Федерації та не суперечить діючому законодавству, на який покласти обов’язки роботи із зовнішніх зв’язків та маркетингу. На базі Центру створити структурні підрозділи, які відповідатимуть окремим напрямкам роботи: «Спортивний комплекс», «Академія сумо», «Музей сумо», «Спортивний магазин», «Відділ марке- тингу», «Видавництво» (або видавничий відділ). Запропонована нами стратегічна модель, з урахуванням внутрішніх і зовнішніх ризиків, відображає розвиток неолімпійського спорту, зокрема сумо, ефективний менеджмент сприятиме вирішенню нагальних завдань на кожному етапі та досягненню генеральної мети.

Дослідження соціально-психологічного клімату футболістів на етапі попередньої базової підготовки
Authors: Гончаренко Владислав
Published: October 2020

Мета: вивчити особливості соціально-психологічного клімату спортсменів, які займаються футболом на етапі попередньої базової підготовки.

Матеріал і методи: аналіз науково-методичної літератури, методика «Соціометрія» Дж. Морено. Дослідження проводились серед спортсменів віком 12–13 років у кількості 14 осіб, які займаються футболом на етапі попередньої базової підготовки.

Результати: теоретично доведено необхідність пошуку нових шляхів ефективної міжособистісної взаємодії у команді футболістів на етапі попередньої базової підготовки.
Висновки: дослідження соціометричного статусу гравців показало, що в команді є два яскраво виражені лідери, навколо яких формується колектив. Варто звернути увагу, що є аутсайдери та повністю ізольовані гравці і решта колективу не бажає з ними взаємодіяти для досягнення результату. Розроблено методичні рекомендації для тренерів з метою формування «сприятливого» соціально-психологічного клімату у команді футболістів на етапі попередньої базової підготовки.

Аналіз силових показників висококваліфікованих армспортсменів на етапі передзмагальної підготовки
Authors: Мазуренко Ігор
Published: October 2020

Мета: аналіз показників силової підготовки основних змагальних рухів армспортсменів вищої кваліфікації на етапі пе- редзмагальної підготовки. Завдання роботи: аналіз тренувального процесу при підготовці до змагань з армрестлінгу; виявлення оптимальних силових показників при підготовці до змагань з армрестлінгу; визначення методики підготов- ки до головних змагань з армрестлінгу.

Матеріал і методи: теоретичний аналіз і узагальнення даних науково-методичної літератури та методики тренуваль- ного процесу висококваліфікованих армспортсменів при підготовці до основних змагань, педагогічний експеримент (кистьова динамометрія, тензодинамометрія). Матеріал: у процесі дослідження проведено виміри силових показників в основних змагальних рухах висококваліфікованих 24 армспортменів 3 вагових категоріях (до 80 кг, 80-100 кг, понад 100 кг) по 8 осіб у кожній на етапі передзмагальної підготовки. Показники вимірювали електротензодинамометром серії FBk польського виробництва з класом точності до 100 грамів, за допомогою спеціально виготовленого блочного пристрою «Прибор ARM1».

Результати: в результаті аналізу, визначено, що силові показники 4 змагальних рухів (згинанні пальців, натяжка мо- лотом, гак, згинанні кисті) висококваліфікованих армспортсменів були достовірно високими у ваговій категорії 80-100 кг. Причому показник сили гаку правої руки був найвищим саме у цій ваговій групі, а найнижчий показник зафіксовано у ваговій групі до 80 кг у згинанні пальців.
Висновки: порівняльний аналіз усіх досліджених показників силових можливостей висококваліфікованих армспор- тсменів дозволив встановити, що найбільш високі результати були показані в силових вправах гак і згинанні кисті; можна стверджувати, що силові вправи дозволяють достатньо чітко визначити рівень силової підготовленості арм- спортсменів, а сама це є головним показником результативності висококваліфікованих армспортсменів; отримані результати свідчать про те, що армспортсмени з гіршими силовими показниками досягають результатів за рахунок включення до виконання силових вправ більшої кількості м’язових груп і, навпаки, більш високі силові показники до- сягаються за рахунок виконання силових вправ певною м’язовою групою.

Az egyéni tanulási utak kialakításához szükséges információhalmazt az emberi agy
csak korlátozottan tudja kezelni. A mesterséges intelligencia fejlesztése nyomán
felmerül a kérdés, hogy nem lehetne-e ezt a feladatot külső algoritmusokra
bízni. A kérdés azért is jogos, mert az oktatási adatbányászat lehetőségeinek
nyomán a nagy adathalmazzal dolgozó cégek kezébe máris egyre több tanulói adat
kerül. Ez egyrészt segítséget nyújthat a differenciált oktatáshoz, másrészt az a
veszély is fennáll, hogy ezek a cégek egyéni tanulási utak kínálatával
párhuzamosan nemcsak a tanulási algoritmusokat és tartalmakat határozzák meg,
hanem az egyéni akaratok és választások fölötti uralmat is átveszik.
Molecular dynamics simulation of single-walled carbon nanotubes based on GPU
Authors: Liu Weigang
Published: October 2020

A graphics processing unit (GPU)-based molecular dynamics simulation of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) molecules is proposed. Under the background of GPU technology, the differential unit and stress of an SWCNT molecule are analyzed first. The stress of the SWCNT molecule at a distance from the end of the SWCNT molecule is obtained by integration, and the calculation of the critical length of stress transfer at the interface of the SWCNT molecule is completed. The SWCNT molecule is divided into two steps by temperature control and using a molecular dynamics simulation program. In this paper, GPU technology is used to derive the velocity Verlet algorithm on the basis of the Verlet algorithm, which completes the optimization design of the numerical algorithm of the differential equation of motion of SWCNTs. Finally, through the SWCNTs, the optimization design of the numerical algorithm of the differential equation of motion of SWCNTs is completed. The molecular dynamics simulation of SWCNTs based on GPU is realized by the equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation of nanotubes and the non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation of SWCNTs. The simulation results show that the molecular dynamics simulation method based on GPU can reduce the eccentricity of SWCNT molecules.

Problematic Terminology of the Manna Pericope (Exod 16:14-15) in the Light of Medieval Jewish Commentators and Biblical Hebrew Philology
Authors: Dihi Haim
Published: October 2020

In this article, I shall discuss the adjective מחוספס and the word מן in the phrase מן-הוא, which both appear in the manna pericope in Exod 16:1415. I will present the different interpretations suggested by medieval Jewish commentators as well as modern scholars and dictionaries, and I shall attempt to show which one of the medieval interpretations is the most appropriate in the light of modern biblical philology. Medieval Jewish commentators suggested four different interpretations of the word מחוספס, two of which, "rounded" and "uncovered", have also been supported by the findings of modern biblical philology. Two medieval commentators rightly interpreted the word מן in the phrase מן-הוא as an interrogative pronoun. This is also the commonly accepted interpretation in contemporary modern biblical philology. Keywords: Exod 16:14-15; Manna pericope; Jewish medieval commentators; Jewish medieval grammarians; modern biblical Hebrew philology; etymological equivalent; semantic equivalent; interrogative pronoun
Beyond Idolatry - The Transgression of the Golden Calf Revisited
Authors: Amzallag Nissim
Published: October 2020

ABSTRACT In the Biblical account of the golden calf (Exodus 32), abnormal importance is devoted to the metal of the statuette, its origin, and even its destruction. The present analysis identifies this latter process as an act of cementation, a technique used in antiquity to separate gold from its alloyed metals, mainly copper. In parallel, the tabernacle symbolism reveals that pure gold is a marker of YHWH's theophany whereas gold-copper alloy is associated with the man-god relationship. Consequently, instead of condemning idolatry, the cementation treatment of the golden calf symbolizes the abortion of the project of divine residence in the tabernacle, the re-establishment of YHWH's distance from humankind, and the restoration of an intermediate divine figure between YHWH and the Israelites. It is concluded that, in Exodus 32, the transgression inherent in the making of the golden calf results from the combination of two antagonistic goals: the indirect worship of YHWH via the golden calf and closeness to the supreme deity via the tabernacle project. Keywords: Golden calf; theology of gold; cultural metallurgy; early Yahwism; tabernacle; book of Exodus
The Positive Role of Shame for Post-exilic Returnees in Ezra/Nehemiah
Authors: Kang Bin
Published: October 2020

ABSTRACT While shame is often cast in a negative light as a response accompanied by destructive forces in modern culture, this article examines a different phenomenon and argues that shame plays an important positive role for post-exilic returnees in Ezra/Nehemiah. Shame can be progressive and edifying if it is oriented in the right direction. This article surveys key shame terms in Ezra/Nehemiah by examining בושׁ I in Ezra 8:22, בושׁ I and כלם in Ezra 9:6-7, חרפה in Neh 1:3; 2:17 and בוזה in Neh 3:36 (Eng. 4:4) for their semantics and concludes that shame plays a positive role in social control for the post-exilic returnees. Shame, in each of these cases, motivated the people of God not for bad but for good; it contributed to the rebuilding of the temple of the Lord, the rebuilding of the wall, and the restoration of a holy people to the Lord in the midst of fierce opposition. Keywords: Shame; Positive role; Disgrace; Reproach; Contempt; Exile; Returnees; Holy Seed; Rebuilding; Ezra; Nehemiah
The effect of holding time before solidification on the properties of aluminium castings
Authors: Basuny F. Hamed , El-Sayed M.A.
Published: October 2020

SYNOPSIS The properties of aluminium castings are strongly affected by their inclusion content, particularly double oxide film defects, or bifilms. Such defects have been reported not only to decrease the tensile and fatigue properties of Al casting, but also to increase their variability, making the properties of such alloys unreliable and unreproducible. Earlier research suggested that the bifilm atmosphere might be consumed by reaction with the surrounding melt, which could improve the mechanical properties of the castings. In this work, the effect of holding an Al casting in the liquid state for up to 20 minutes before solidification was studied using a three-level general factorial design of experiments. Two responses were considered, the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and elongation of the resulting castings. The results showed that the holding treatment had a significant effect on the elongation of the castings produced. In addition, the UTS and elongation peaked at a holding time of 10 minutes. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) investigation detected many oxide fragments inside pores on the fracture surfaces, reflecting the role of entrained defects in the formation of porosity. The results suggest that two opposing phenomena may take place during the holding treatment. Thus, the consumption of air inside the entrained defects due to reaction with the surrounding molten metal may lead to improvements in mechanical properties, but this may be accompanied by hydrogen passing into the defects, which has a deleterious effect on properties. Keywords: oxide film, aluminium casting, porosity, defects, hydrogen, design of experiments.
Intelligent techniques, harmonically coupled and SARIMA models in forecasting solar radiation data: A hybridization approach
Authors: Sivhugwana K.S. , Ranganai E.
Published: October 2020

The unsteady and intermittent feature (mainly due to atmospheric mechanisms and diurnal cycles) of solar energy resource is often a stumbling block, due to its unpredictable nature, to receiving high-intensity levels of solar radiation at ground level. Hence, there has been a growing demand for accurate solar irradiance forecasts that properly explain the mixture of deterministic and stochastic characteristic (which may be linear or nonlinear) in which solar radiation presents itself on the earth’s surface. The seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) models are popular for accurately modelling linearity, whilst the neural networks effectively capture the aspect of nonlinearity embedded in solar radiation data at ground level. This comparative study couples sinusoidal predictors at specified harmonic frequencies with SARIMA models, neural network autoregression (NNAR) models and the hybrid (SARIMA-NNAR) models to form the respective harmonically coupled models, namely, HCSARIMA models, HCNNAR models and HCSARIMA-NNAR models, with the sinusoidal predictor function, SARIMA, and NNAR parts capturing the deterministic, linear and nonlinear components, respectively. These models are used to forecast 10-minutely and 60-minutely averaged global horizontal irradiance data series obtained from the RVD Richtersveld solar radiometric station in the Northern Cape, South Africa. The forecasting accuracy of the three above-mentioned models is undertaken based on the relative mean square error, mean absolute error and mean absolute percentage error. The HCNNAR model and HCSARIMA-NNAR model gave more accurate forecasting results for 60-minutely and 10-minutely data, respectively.
Highlights

HCSARIMA models were outperformed by both HCNNAR models and HCSARIMA-NNAR models in the forecasting arena.
HCNNAR models were most appropriate for forecasting larger time scales (i.e. 60-minutely).
HCSARIMA-NNAR models were most appropriate for forecasting smaller time scales (i.e. 10-minutely).
Models fitted on the January data series performed better than those fitted on the June data series.
Russian energy projects in South Africa
Authors: An J. , Mikhaylov A.
Published: October 2020

From early 2019, South Africa and Russia have planned to increase their energy trade. Russia can become one of the world’s five largest energy exporters. This study examines of the cost of a kilowatt of electricity generated by coal power projects in South Africa and compares nuclear electricity with other types of green energy. This method must help to improve the management decision-making process in South Africa for energy exporta. Reasons for this persistence include the marketing strategies of Russian companies for seeking new markets in industrialised and postindustrial countries where, due to intensive competition, sales of Russian high-tech products are often unsuccessful. Renewable energy gives a chance to potentially reduce poverty in South Africa. The study concludes that imported crude oil is more suited to the needs of the refining industry of South Africa. The consumption for this type of energy in areas not concerning industry is insignificant and its increase is unlikely to be observed in the future. Highlights• Nuclear energy is popular energy source in South Africa now.• Provision of sustainable energy services helps to find the sources for economic growth. • Renewable energy technologies have opportunity for reduce nuclear production in South Africa.• Bio-energy can become the main source of energy in South Africa.
Design of an electrostatic precipitator for a novel bituminous coal-fired circulating fluidised bed combustion power plant in Namibia
Authors: Nghishiyeleke Eliaser T. , Kemba Vallentinus M. , Endunde Alexander M. S. , Mashingaidze Melvin M.
Published: October 2020

Coal-fired power plants utilising fluidised bed technologies emit copious amounts of fly-ash, which is harmful to people owing to its particulate nature. A planned 300 MW power plant will have an electrostatic precipitator (ESP) for fly-ash emissions control, in line with power generation industry best practices. This ESP should meet a fly-ash emission limit value ≤ 50 mg/Nm3. This paper details the design process and resultant technical specifications of a cold-side, single-stage, and plate-wire dry ESP designed for the power plant. The ESP will consist of twin-chambers with quadruple-fields (2 4 315 m3) and octonary bus-sections independently energised by individual high-frequency three-phase switched integrated rectifiers (70 kV, 800 mA) to maximise ionisation. Dynamically balanced, single-impact, tumbling hammer rappers (857.5 rpm) will dislodge fly-ash from the collector plates into mass-flow wedge-shaped hoppers. A specific collection area (≥ 56.9 m2/m3/s) and an ESP index (≥ 709.2 (kV/cm)2m2/m3/s) should guarantee a collection efficiency (  ≥ 99.5 %) and the specified emission limit value at 100 % boiler capacity and normal operating conditions (gas velocity ≤ 2.4 m/s; gas temperature ≤ 137 ℃; fly-ash loading ≤ 10 000 kg/Nm3; resistivity ≤ 1010 Ω‧cm). The design was successfully verified in principle using the validation square method, in conjunction with the leading comparable historical case studies approach. It is recommended to simulate ESP designs using suitable programs like Comsol Multiphysics and construct a pilot plant before attempting scaled-up construction and commissioning. Highlights           A cold-side, single-stage plate-wire dry ESP system designed. Theoretical collection efficiency in excess of 99.5%. High-frequency, three-phase switched integrated rectifiers to be used for ionisation.
Ética profesional y compromiso organizacional de los contadores públicos
Authors: Vallejos Angulo Christian Daniel
Published: October 2020

La presente investigación fue abordada con el propósito de determinar, científicamente, si existe relación significativa entre las variables ética profesional del contador público y compromiso organizacional del contador público, quedando como criterio externo que la ética es la variable independiente y la dependiente el compromiso organizacional. La revisión bibliográfica y el estudio de campo fueron acompañados de entrevistas a profesionales contables y análisis de casos tipificados como faltas a la ética profesional en el ámbito tributario y empresarial (RTF). Para recopilar información sobre el comportamiento ético de los contadores públicos que tenían la relación laboral en común (para poder ser más específicos en las interpretaciones), se utilizaron dos cuestionarios aplicados en un solo momento. El cuestionario sobre ética profesional del contador público fue elaborado por el investigador, tomando como referencia a Arteaga (2008), el mismo que consta de 32 enunciados y con un adecuado índice de fiabilidad (Alfa de Cronbach de 0.844). El cuestionario sobre compromiso organizacional elaborado por Grajales (2007) consta de 21 enunciados y una fiabilidad de 0.863. Ambos cuestionarios mostraron opciones de respuesta en modelo Likert. Los participantes fueron 182 contadores públicos, de ambos sexos, que trabajan en una universidad privada de Lima, en tres sedes ubicadas en las ciudades de Lima, Tarapoto y Juliaca. Para el análisis de correlación se utilizó el estadístico Rho de Spearman ya que la prueba de normalidad de Kolmogorov-Smirnov indicó que los datos seguían una distribución no paramétrica. Los resultados corroboraron la hipótesis general de que existe relación entre ética profesional del contador público y compromiso organizacional del contador público (Rho = 0.403, p=000). Del mismo modo, se corroboraron las hipótesis específicas obteniendo resultados que demuestran que existe relación entre las dimensiones de la variable ética profesional del contador público con la variable compromiso organizacional: integridad (Rho=0.343, p=000), objetividad (Rho=0.283, p=000), confidencialidad (Rho=0.244, p=001), competencia y diligencia profesionales (Rho=0.294, p=000) y comportamiento profesional (Rho=0.375, p=000).
