CHERENKOV RADIATION OF THE ELECTRON BUNCH IN DIELECTRIC MEDIA WITH FREQUENCY DISPERSION
Authors: Balakirev V.A. , Onishchenko I.N.
Published: June 2022

Excitation of the Cherenkov electromagnetic radiation by a relativistic electron bunch in a dielectric waveguide is considered taking into account the frequency dispersion of the dielectric permittivity. Electric polarization in an isotropic dielectric medium and, accordingly, polarization charges and currents induced by the Coulomb electric field of a relativistic electron bunch are determined. The spatial-temporal structure of the excited wakefield in a dielectric waveguide is obtained and investigated. It is shown that the excited field consists of a potential polarization electric field and a set of eigen electromagnetic waves of the dielectric waveguide.
DIFFUSION EVOLUTION OF A PORE IN BOUNDED PARTICLE IN A HYDROGEN ATMOSPHERE
Authors: Kopp M.I. , Ostapchuk P.N. , Yanovsky V.V.
Published: June 2022

The problem of the diffusion evolution of a pore filled with molecular hydrogen in a spherical granule in a hydrogen medium is solved. The initial position of the pore is displaced relative to the center of the granule. A nonlinear system of equations is obtained, which describes the behavior of the size of the gas-filled pore, the amount of gas in it and its position relative to the center of the bounded particle with time. Numerical calculations have shown the existence of two stages of evolution. The first (fast) stage is associated with the equalization of pressure in the pore with the external. The second is the slow diffusion “healing” of the pore, when the amount of gas adjusts to its size and the gas pressure is approximately equal to the external.

Published: June 2022

Desde finales del siglo XX las administraciones y entidades públicas han mostrado su inquietud por facilitar sus servicios a los ciudadanos por medios electrónicos. El año 2007 supone el cambio del “podrán” al “deberán” con la aprobación de la Ley 11/2007, de 22 de junio, de acceso electrónico de los ciudadanos a los Servicios Públicos, que obliga a las administraciones a relacionarse por medios electrónicos con los ciudadanos. Con el paso del tiempo, la evolución de la tecnología y la sociedad, y el aumento de las capacidades digitales de los ciudadanos y administraciones se constata que es necesario desarrollar una nueva Ley que cubra esta brecha, el dos de octubre del año 2016 entró en vigor la Ley 39/2015, de 1 de octubre, del Procedimiento Administrativo Común de las Administraciones Públicas.  En marzo del año 2020 la llegada de la pandemia SARS-CoV-2, Covid-19, es determinante para el uso generalizado de la Administración Electrónica es, a la fuerza, la palanca de cambio que impulsa a los usuarios y administraciones a concienciarse de la necesidad y oportunidad de una administración sin papeles y sin presencia en las oficinas, una administración siempre abierta que ofrece la posibilidad de realizar trámites 24 horas al día 365 días al año. ¿Habremos dejado atrás el vuelva usted mañana?

Se propone un debate sobre cómo se está produciendo este cambio en los ciudadanos y en las Administraciones Públicas.

Kutsal Olan Her Şey Buharlaşıyor mu? Z Kuşağının Değer Yöneliminde Transhümanist İzler
Authors: DEMİR Talip
Published: June 2022

Toplumsal değerler, bireylerin dünyaya bakışını belirleyen temel kültürel kodlar olup yaşanan birtakım gelişmelerin etkisiyle değişebilmektedir. Söz konusu değişimi anlamak ve açıklamak için kullanılan araçlardan biri olan kuşak kavramı, belirli zaman dilimlerinde dünyaya gelen insan kümelerini ifade etmek için kullanılmaktadır. Bu bağlamda 2000 yılından sonra dünyaya gelenleri belirtmek için kullanılan Z kuşağı, sahip olduğu değerler ve öz nitelikler açısından daha önceki hiçbir nesile benzemeyen özgün bir yapı arz etmektedir. Z kuşağı ile neredeyse aynı tarihsel zaman diliminde gelişip yaygınlaşan transhümanizm hareketi ise 21. yüzyılın en önemli toplumsal hareketlerinden biridir. Özellikle gen teknolojisi, robotik bilimi ve birtakım tıbbî uygulamalar aracılığıyla insanın sınırlı doğasını dönüştürmeyi/geliştirmeyi amaçlayan ve seküler bir karakter arz eden bu hareket, mezkûr dönemde yaşanan tekno-bilimsel devrimler sayesinde etkisini giderek artırmaktadır. Günümüzde giderek radikalleşen küreselleşme süreciyle beraber Z kuşağı bireyleri, söz konusu hareketin benimsediği seküler değerlerden doğrudan ya da dolaylı olarak etkilenmektedir. Bu etki Z kuşağı mensuplarının önceki nesillerin benimsediği bazı geleneksel ve dinî değerleri sorgulamalarını beraberinde getirmektedir. Buna ek olarak yeni nesil gençlerin pragmatik ve hedonist yaşam felsefesi, başta cinsiyet rolleri olmak üzere geleneksel açıdan keskin bir şekilde belirlenen birtakım sınırların bulanıklaşmasına ortam hazırlamaktadır. Çalışmamız, transhümanist hareketin yaydığı değerler ile Z kuşağı bireylerinin değer eğilimleri arasındaki örtüşmelere odaklanmaktadır. Zira transhümanizmin benimsediği bireysellik, eleştirel düşünme ve açık fikirlilik, varsayımları ve inançlara karşı sorgulayıcı yaklaşım, pragmatizm ve her türlü ırkçılığa, cinsiyet ayrımcılığına karşı olma gibi birtakım değerlerin Z kuşağı bireylerinde de yansımaları olduğu gözlenmektedir. Çalışmamızın amacı Z kuşağının değişen değer eğilimlerini transhümanizm perspektifinden anlamaya çalışmak ve konuya dair teorik bir zemin sunmaktır.

Published: June 2022

Spurred by a global pandemic, precautions have been taken by the general public to slow the spread of the respiratory virus called COVID-19. As Cloth Masks have become staples in protection during this time, it is important to understand any limitations that could arise when using a product. Several studies have found that certain methods of decontaminating Cloth Masks, so they may be reused safely, can result in slight degradation. This study analyzes the decontamination method of Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) on Cloth Masks that have different ply counts. Using both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis, three different masks were contaminated with bacterial colonies then put through a session of UVGI to sterilize the fabric. Once the session was over, masks were collected and analyzed for effectiveness of decontamination and changes in fabric pore size. It was found that when decontaminating the Cloth Masks, regardless of the bacteria they have been contaminated with, there was a positive correlation between the number of plies a mask had to the amount of bacteria able to be decontaminated. Additionally, there was a negative relationship between the number of plies a mask had and the degradation of the material over time. UVGI provides an effective method of decontamination for Cloth Masks now that its benefits and limitations have been understood.
The Impact of Inadequate Sex Education

Published: June 2022

The unintended pregnancies and abortion rates in the United States are among the highest of most industrialized countries. To address these rates, an increase in federal funding for sex education programs focused on the promotion of abstinence from sex has been prevalent over the past decades. However, with federal funding dedicated towards abstinence-only sex education which excludes important health topics such as contraception and sexually transmitted diseases, youths across the nation are ill-equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to make informed choices on their sexual health. In an effort to improve the current sex education curriculum employed throughout the states, this study seeks to examine the impact of inadequate sex education on female teens ages 13-18 contraceptive knowledge and awareness, with a focus on South Florida. To conduct this study, the evaluation research method was carried out by the means of a survey via social media platforms. Findings revealed that inadequate sex education impacted participants’ contraceptive awareness and knowledge negatively, demonstrating the ineffectiveness of abstinence-only sex education in reducing rates of unintended pregnancies and abortion rates in the United States due to the medical misinformation conveyed by these programs. Among broader implications, a change in sex education systems to be geared toward comprehensive sex education could be highly beneficial along with federal improvements of the current sex education curricula.

Arabidopsis thaliana, a model organism for plant research, was grown hydroponically under standard environmental conditions. It was found that adding additional carbohydrates solely during the plant’s light cycle displayed a 255% increase in root:shoot ratio compared to the 24h application of equivalent nutrients, suggesting this approach of differentiating nutrient and carbohydrate requirements has promising results for plant growth and productivity.
The Association between Schizophrenia Clinical Severity and Obesity Risk: A Literature Review
Authors: Li Isabel , Hester Jack
Published: June 2022

Obesity is a highly prevalent illness in schizophrenia patients. This review evaluates recent literature on the relationship between obesity risk and schizophrenia psychopathology. Ten studies were gathered using online resources like Google Scholar, PubMed, and the Brown University Library. Nine of the ten studies analyzed the relationship between obesity and schizophrenia severity with the factor of antipsychotics, while the last study excluded antipsychotic influence. While the nine studies with antipsychotic treatment indicate an association between improvement in overall symptom severity and weight gain, five studies specify negative symptoms to be more indicative of weight gain than positive symptoms, and two studies state the opposite. The last (tenth) study implies the existence of a relationship between weight and clinical severity independent from antipsychotic use. More research needs to be done on the connection between obesity and schizophrenia severity prior to antipsychotic treatment.

Authors: Appiah-Sekyere Paul
Published: June 2022

This study sought to find out the perceptions of the students in Senior High schools in the Sunyani Municipality in Ghana on abortion. The study employed the descriptive survey research design. With the simple random sampling procedure, 364 students were selected from a total of 6,824 to participate in the study. The study found out that the students perceived abortion to be morally unacceptable. A significant majority of the students disagreed with arguments that are in favour of abortion. The majority of the students can be described as anti-abortionists. What influenced their perceptions and how they will react, when they find themselves in an unwanted pregnancy situation, are not known. The study also found out that there was no significant difference between the perceptions of male and female students on abortion. In relation to the findings, the study recommended that issues on abortion, and others related to human sexuality, should be taught in Senior High Schools. This will put the students in a better position to make right ethical decisions on abortion.
From the horse’s own mouth: Gender perception in some Akan and Ewe proverbs
Authors: Asante Comfort , Akyea Gladys M. F.
Published: June 2022

Issues about women have engaged the attention of many scholars over the years, especially in recent times. These issues span much of marginalization of women in national affairs, male dominance over women, sexual harassment and recently in Ghana domestic violence against women and children among others. Most of these have been analysed from various dimensions. The sociologists, the psychologists and the humanists have all touched on an aspect nor other of womanhood however trite it may seem. This paper is a contribution to the discussion on women. It invites the reader to look at the issue of women in two ethnic communities in Ghana - Akan and Ewe from the literary point of view, specifically from the proverbs that these communities have themselves formulated and been using about women. One cannot deny the fact that creative writers, both males andfemales have portrayed women from a point of view that has close relations with societal determinants. The sexuality of the Ghanaian woman in general and those in the two communities studied has been expressed in their proverbs. The analysis of the proverbs has some relations with the findings of some researchers concerning the old perceptions about the woman as a weakling who depends on the male for sustenance and her total wellbeing.
Autochthonous, conquest and overlordship rights in land: Constructing allodial rights in the Kpandai area in Northern Ghana in the pre-colonial times
Authors: Mbowura Cletus Kwaku
Published: June 2022

In 1991-92, a conflict over the allodial title to lands in the Kpandai area broke out between the Nawuri and the Gonja, prompting the necessity to interrogate the concept of allodial rights. In Northern Ghana in general, allodial rights in land are ethnicized - the right of absolute ownership of land resided in an ethnic group. Nonetheless, the modes of acquisition of allodial rights in land differ from place to place, though generally they are embedded in the historical traditions of societies. By and large, the modes of acquisition of allodial rights in land by an ethnic group are determined by variables such as autochthonous and conquest rights, lease and gift. This study interrogates the ownership of Kpandai in the pre-colonial period, using, as determinants, tools such as autochthony, conquest, and I overlordship. It argues that allodial rights in lands in the Kpandai in the pre-colonial period resided in the Nawuri by virtue of rights of autochthony and autonomy.
Colonial boundaries and the challenges of transition to multi party democracy in sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Yayoh Wilson
Published: June 2022

At independence, African countries south of the Sahara were confronted with the problem of national integration. This problem was borne out of the partition of the continent in a manner that brought different ethnic groups together to form artificially created states. This paper argues that the difficulties most African countries faced during the wholesale transition to multi-party rule in the 1990s were traceable to the ethnic diversities of the states. A sense of shared nationality, a pre-requisite for national integration and unity, was weak or was yet to be forged in most countries. This weakness had negative implications for multi-party democracy in Africa, for political pluralism stirred up ethnic conflicts/upheavals which tore countries apart. Pro-democracy movements during the transitional period emboldened the zeal of component ethnic groups to assert their identities on the political scene.
Ghana Commercial Bank and Agriculture financing in Ghana, 1960s — 1980s
Authors: Kyere Isaac
Published: June 2022

The British Bank of West Africa (BBWA) now renamed Standard Chartered Bank Limited and Barclays Bank Ghana Limited were the two prominent foreign Commercial Banks first established in the Gold Coast in 1897 and 1917 respectively. In the colonial era, these British banks only dealt with large businesses and did not extend credit to individual Gold Coast farmers because they were tagged as not credit-worthy or could not arrange suitable collateral for loans. Essentially, lack of access to credit continues to be a key factor contributing to the poor performance of the agriculture sector in general.1 In 1953, the Ghana Commercial Bank (GCB) was established as the first indigenous commercial bank to serve the people of the nation.1 Since 1953, the Ghana Commercial Bank has made agriculture financing its priority and has extended loans to its agricultural customers. This paper, which is multi-sourced, uses archival documents, Government Records, Annual Reports and scholarly secondary works, to examine the approaches and strategies used by GCB to support agriculture in Ghana from the late 1960s to 1980s. The paper specifically sheds light on the measures adopted by the bank to transform agriculture in the country.
