Music for Nine Post Cards as an Example of Kankyo Ongaku i.e ‘Music that Floats in the Air Like a Smoke’

The aim of the article is an attempt to present the genesis and describe the first compositions that formulated the Japanese ambient trend, i.e. kankyo ongaku. The subject of the research is both the history of the creation of the series by Hiroshi Yoshimura, Music for Nine Post Cards, which became the cornerstone of later albums from the ambient and minimal music trend in Japan, as well as individual works included in the cycle under study. Based on the results of the automated and auditory analysis of Music for Nine Post Cards, the structure of musical works and their stylistic features are determined. For automated analysis, Sonic Visualiser was used—an application used to create a graphical visualisation of the music content of audio files. As a result of the research, the answer was obtained as to how Hiroshi Yoshimura and Satoshi Ashikawa realised the original assumptions of kankyo ongaku.
Curator Economy w Chinach – odpowiedź na specyfikę rynku czy zapowiedź nadchodzących zmian w światowym handlu elektronicznym?
Authors: Hązła Marceli
Published: September 2022

China’s Curator Economy. A market-specific response or a harbinger of upcoming changes in global e-commerce? Until recently, online curation was mainly associated with the creative industries and digital products, but, nowadays, in China, one can observe a trend of expanding its scope also to the most popular product groups of e-commerce, such as cosmetics, apparel or food. A review of the most important technological, economic and cultural trends shows that while the Middle Kingdom has had extremely favourable conditions for the curator economy to flourish, in the near future it may start spreading to the rest of the world. Curating activities that reduce the choice overload, induce additional reflection before buying products, and make consumers less susceptible to the marketing messages, could be an important element in the developed countries’ pursuit towards sustainability.

Authors: Dorocki Sławomir
Published: September 2022

Problematyka mikromobilności i transportu osobistego jest coraz częściej podejmowana w pracach badawczych nad zrównoważonym transportem w miastach. Wynika to głównie z rosnących problemów komunikacyjnych na terenach zurbanizowanych, jak i poszukiwania alternatywnych form transportu dla samochodów osobowych. Dodatkowo pandemia Covid-19 wpłynęła na spadek popularności transportu publicznego. Kraków jest jednym z miast Polski borykających się z dużymi problemami komunikacyjnymi. Dlatego od lat próbuje się w nim ograniczyć liczbę samochodów i rozwijać inne formy transportu. Do przejawów tego procesu należy kreowanie przez władze miasta transportu rowerowego. Powstała infrastruktura rowerowa jest obecnie wykorzystywana również przez hulajnogi elektryczne. Celem artykułu jest analiza dostępności oraz użytkowania dwóch najbardziej popularnych wśród mieszkańców Krakowa alternatywnych form transportu osobistego – rowerów i hulajnóg elektrycznych. Przeprowadzone badania dowiodły, że wykorzystanie hulajnóg elektrycznych staje się coraz bardziej popularne w dojazdach na małe odległości, głównie wśród ludzi młodych. Rozwój tego rodzaju transportu uzależniony jest od zasięgu udostępniana tych pojazdów przez prywatne wypożyczalnie. Determinants for the use of electric bicycles and e-scooters in Krakow The issue of micromobility and personal transport is more and more often undertaken in research on sustainable transport in cities. This is mainly due to the growing communication problems in urban areas, as well as the search for alternative forms of transport for cars. In addition, the Covid-19 pandemic contributed to a decline in the popularity of public transport. Krakow is one of the Polish cities struggling with major communication problems. Therefore, for years, this city has been trying to reduce the number of cars and develop other forms of transport. One of the manifestations of this process is the creation of bicycle transport by the city authorities. The resulting bicycle infrastructure is now also used by electric scooters. The aim of the article is to analyze the accessibility and use of the two most popular alternative forms of personal transport among the inhabitants of Krakow – bicycles and electric scooters. The conducted research proved that the use of electric scooters is becoming more and more popular, mainly among young people, for short-distance commuting. The development of this type of transport depends on the range of these vehicles made available by private rentals.

Numerical Study of Vortex Flow in a Classifier with Coaxial Tubes
Authors: Zinurov Vadim , Kharkov Vitaly , Pankratov Evgeny , Dmitriev Andrey
Published: September 2022

Centrifugal air classifiers are one of the most used separation devices in particle technology. The study aims to obtain a detailed description of the bulk material classification mechanism in the developed centrifugal classifier. The classifier design and the mechanism of the stable vortex structure formation in the inter-tube space of the device are described. Velocities within and between the vortices are studied to identify regions with inverse flows, which serve as transport channels for particles. The computational fluid dynamics modeling results indicate three channels with negative or near-zero axial velocities: between the vortices, near the outer wall of the internal tube, and the inner wall of the external tube. The selectivity of the device decreases when transport channels are disrupted due to flow mixing, which is caused by the height shifting of the vortex centers.

Published: September 2022

To achieve the highest energy level from a wind turbine, the prediction of its performance is essential. This study investigates the aerodynamic performance of different airfoils, which are frequently used in wind farms. The computational fluid dynamics method based on the finite-volume approach is utilized, and a steady-state flow with the transition regime is considered in this study. A developed artificial neural network is used to reduce the computational time. The results indicates that the trained algorithm could accurately predict the airfoil efficiency with less than 2% error on the training set and fewer than 3% error on the test set. The results agree with the experimental results; this analysis accurately predicts wind turbine performance by selecting the blade’s airfoil. This study provides a reference for a broader range of using these airfoils in wind farms.
Project IICE

Published: September 2022

Project IICE was a multi-disciplinary learning experience designed for students at Southern New Hampshire University. Students worked together in teams to communicate scientific data that was initially collected by an Introductory Botany class. Students in this course measured trees and recorded variables, including tree height, diameter, species, and canopy cover. They shared the data with students in freshman Statistics courses, who analyzed mathematically for trends. Finally, students in Graphic Design used the data to create visual representations and icons. Students collaborated in groups that were randomly assigned across all of the courses to include members of each discipline. During the process, each student was required to help others in the group understand the meaning of the data, through the collection, analysis, and design phases. In the final group poster presentations, students explained the meaning and value of each part. The emphasis was on their ability to communicate the significance of each part of the process, which helped them appreciate how the discipline they were working in contributed to the overall success of the project. The real-world data provided a context for students to experience working in cross-discipline teams, and sharpened communication skills.
A STEM Experiential Learning Experience
Authors: McCarthy Deborah L.
Published: September 2022

From Fall 2012 to Fall 2016, 127 teacher candidates at a public university in southern Louisiana and elementary school students in grades four, five, six, and eight formed a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) partnership to develop and implement science projects. The research questions of the accompanying study over the five years were: 1.Will mentoring a science project increase student understanding of best practices afforded by the scientific method? 2. What strategies improve the quality of a STEM experiential learning experience? A paired-samples t-test on teacher candidates’ pre- and post-test scores showed a significant difference in mean scores, indicating an increase in understanding in students for each of the five years. Themes emerging from the qualitative data suggest that successful strategies include preparation, staying small, organization, communication, motivation, and acknowledgement. Coincidentally, these themes closely mirror the National Society for Experiential Education’s (NSEE) “Eight Principles of Good Practice for All Experiential Learning Activities.”

Authors: Shirokov B.M. , Malykhin D.G. , Zhuravlyov A.Yu.
Published: September 2022

In this work, stability of titanium and zirconium nitride coatings deposited on steel and molybdenum was studied. The phase composition of nitride coatings was studied by X-ray method before and after emission testing in the nanosecond range of pulses. It was noted that before the testing, the titanium nitride coating was a successive alternation of α-Ti, Ti2N, and TiN layers. After the testing, titanium was transformed into the β-phase (bcc), nitrogen was partially evaporated, and a new phase, presumably Ti3N, with a tetragonal lattice was formed in a significant content. The Zr-N coating, obtained in the form of zirconium mono-nitride, showed structural stability during testing.

EFFECT OF ARC CURRENT ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF AlCrN COATINGS DEPOSITED USING CATHODIC ARC EVAPORATION
Authors: Warcholinski B. , Gilewicz A. , Kuprin A.S.
Published: September 2022

The AlCrN coatings were formed using cathodic arc evaporation at constant nitrogen pressure and arc current ranged from 50 to 120 A. Scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive analysis, X-ray diffractometry, nanoindentation, adhesion tests and friction tests were used to investigate the effect of arc current on surface morphology, composition, structure, and mechanical and tribological properties of coatings. It was found that all coatings present cubic AlCrN with Al/(Al+Cr) ratio independent on arc current. Increase in the arc current results in increase in lattice parameter, crystallite size as well as deposition rate and coating surface roughness. A decrease in hardness with a simultaneous increase in Young's modulus is also observed. The adhesion of the coatings shows a non-linear character with the maximum (108 N) for the coating formed at an arc current of 80 A, which may explain the best wear resistance – the lowest wear rate 1.4·10-7 mm3/Nm.

Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are quite common in aging males and these affect the quality of life of an individual. Among various etiologies of LUTS, benign hyperplasia (BPH) has a high prevalence. The term Mutraghata stands for low urine output due to obstruction in the passage of urine.  Mutraghata, a disease of Mutravaha Srotas (urinary system) described in Ayurveda, closely resembles with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) of the modern medicine. It affects men above the age of 40 years. Histo-pathologically the prevalence of BPH is age dependent, initiate usually after 40 years of age. More than 50% of men in their 60s and upto 90% of men in their 70s and 80s have some symptoms of BPH. In contemporary science conservative and surgical treatment are given to the patients suffering with BPH.

Patients with skin conditions frequently endure physical, emotional, and socioeconomic forms of social embarrassment. Up to 3.5% of the global total and 0.44%-2.8% of Indians suffer with the unpleasant dermatological disorder psoriasis. It is a widespread, chronic, non-infectious skin condition that can affect either sexes and affect any age, with incidence rates ranging from childhood to age one. It is characterized by well-defined, slightly elevated, dry, erythematous macules with silvery scales and a characteristic extensor distribution. In contrast to other dermatological disorders, psoriasis manifests as systemic symptoms like arthritis. The prevalence is highest in the third and fourth decades of life, when patients become unable of doing daily tasks. For some patients, social humiliation is a significant factor which leads to an increase in suicidal ideation. To raise public awareness, the 29th October has been designated as World Psoriasis Day. The Ayurvedic term for skin is "Charma" or "Twacha." Twacha is derived from the word Dhatu-twacha samvarne, which means body covering. The broad categories of Kushtha have been used to discuss all skin conditions in Ayurveda. There are two types of Kustha in Ayurveda. Mahakustha and Kshudra Kustha. Kitibha kustha belongs to Kshudra kustha.

Ayurveda holds a prominent and exceptional place in Indian scientific heritage. Ayurveda places a strong emphasis on prevention and aids in promoting and extending a happy, healthy life. Chikitsa in Ayurveda is the result of diligent effort and judicious use of Chatushpada (Four pillars of treatment). Bhaishajya kalpana is an important branch of Ayurveda which mainly deals with the development of diverse Ayurvedic formulations. Panchavidha Kashaya Kalpana is the basic five therapeutic preparations.

Published: September 2022

Cytokine storm also known as cytokine releasing syndrome is due to elevate level of circulating cytokine and hyper action that can be triggered by some factor like virus, bacteria or other epigenetic factors. In this era of communicable disease, COVID-19 is such a disease which shows manifestation in the form of cytokine storm. Increase level of cytokine like interleukin-6 etc in the blood causes destruction of normally functioning cell leads to dangerous life-threatening condition like ARDs. Cytokines are immunomodulating agents composed of soluble proteins, peptides and glycoproteins secreted by haemopoietic and non-haemopoietic cells in response to various stimuli. Their main role is in molecular interaction between various cells of the immune system. Cytokines are nothing but just the immune markers which hyperactivation leads to cytokine storm. There is not any description of such pathogenesis in Ayurveda. But Ayurveda clearly defined some concepts of immunity such Asvyadhikshamatva, Oja, Bala, Vyadhibighatakarabhaba and Rasayana. In Covid-19, researcher found that such people are more vulnerable to disease and its severity. Such vulnerability depends upon person response to illness. Ayurveda may explain this vulnerability through its concepts of preventive, personalized and rejuvenation. The present review focused on cytokine storm and its understanding in perspective of Ayurvedic concepts of immunity

İletişim alanında yapılan sosyal medya araştırmalarının, özellikle son zamanlarda dikkat çekici bir yoğunluğa sahip olduğu görülmektedir. Bu bağlamda geçmiş çalışmaların sosyal medyayı nasıl ele aldığı sorusu gündeme gelerek çalışmalarda; ağırlık verilen konular, kullanılan yöntemler ve örneklemler gibi çeşitli açılardan değerlendirmelerin yapıldığı araştırmalar gerçekleştirilmektedir. Geçmiş yıllarda yapılmış çalışmaların sistematik bir biçimde incelenmesi, güncel eğilimleri yakalamak ve alanda var olan teorik ve metodolojik boşlukları ortaya koymak adına oldukça önem arz etmektedir. Söz konusu çalışmada, iletişim alanında gerçekleştirilmiş sosyal medyaya yönelik araştırmalar; konu, kapsam ve yöntem bakımından değerlendirilerek mevcut durumun tespit edilmesi ve alandaki boşlukların ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda nitel araştırma yönteminden yararlanılmıştır. Buna göre araştırma kapsamında, TR Dizin’de 2011-2020 yılları arasında yayımlanan iletişim alanında yapılmış sosyal medya konulu 440 çalışma niceliksel içerik analizi yapılarak incelenmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda, iletişim alanında yapılan sosyal medya araştırmalarının sayıca en fazla 2018 yılında, en az ise 2020 yılında gerçekleştirildiği görülmüştür. Diğer yandan çalışmaların çoğunlukla özgün araştırma makalelerinden oluştuğu ve bunlarda kullanılan yöntemlerin nitel ve nicel araştırma yöntemi ağırlıklı olduğu, karma yöntemin çok fazla kullanılmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Yapılan araştırmaların ise büyük oranda sosyal medya içerikleri üzerinden gerçekleştirildiği tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca çalışmada yapılan tematik değerlendirme kapsamında en çok çalışmanın örgütler özelinde, daha sonra ise sırasıyla sosyal medyanın karakteristiği ve eleştirel konular etrafında ele alındığı görülmüştür.

Authors: Dobos Ádám
Published: September 2022

A negyedik ipari forradalom korában egyre nagyobb szerep hárul a Vállalatirányítási Információs Rendszerek fejlesztésére és általuk a vállalati folyamatok automatizálására. A történelmi áttekintés és a jelenlegi piaci helyzet is alátámasztja azon álláspontokat, melyek szerint a fejlett ERP rendszerek térnyerése és teljesítménye folyamatos növekvő tendenciát mutat. A digitális forradalom sok lehetőséget biztosít a vállalkozások részére ezen a téren, azonban megfelelő felkészültség hiányában ez akár negatív hatással is lehet az egyes piaci szereplők gazdasági helyzetére. A rendszerek integráltságának növelésével az egyes vállalati részlegek és üzletfelek közötti határok megszűnnek, így jelentős mértékben gyorsul az információ áramlása és a vezetői döntéshozatal. A lehetőségek maximális kiaknázása érdekében fontos, hogy az iparági szakértők, a vállalati vezetők és az oktatási intézmények összehangoltan, egymást erősítve dolgozzanak a felmerülő problémák megoldásán. Kutatásom során azonosítottam az ERP rendszerek fejlődésének főbb szakaszait és megvizsgáltam az ERP forgalmazók piaci részesedésre vonatkozó adatait. Felmértem a hazai- és nemzetközi ERP piac hasonlóságait és különbségeit, valamint felhívtam a figyelmet a lehetséges jövőbeli kihívásokra és lehetőségekre.
