Limites Objetivos da Demanda na Arbitragem
Authors: Corrêa Fábio Peixinho Gomes
Published: March 2022

ABSTRACT: The objective limits of the arbitral claim plays a fundamental role in the interplay between parties and arbitrators, having the Brazilian legislator accepted that the parties freely dispose on how to set these limits, at the same time that it fully empowered the arbitrators to decide such claim, modulating the acts of the later through the constitutional guarantees of the former. Due to the inherent flexibility of the arbitral proceedings and the need of its efficient management by the arbitrators, it is indispensable to understand the phenomenon of the arbitral process object and, then, to assess the defects of the arbitral award that arise out of the poor understand of such phenomena, especially in relation to those that are related to the grounds of the decision. The results of the analysis of this phenomena and of its misapplication gives more certainty in order to accept modifications in the objective limits of the claim by the parties during the course of the arbitral proceedings, as well as confers to the arbitrators the means to obtain a better use of the arbitral process. In the same sense, the proper understanding of the link of the arbitrators to the objective limits of the claim, in light of the legal provision that the whole dispute shall be solved, leads the parties to adjust its claim to the real potential of the arbitral process, guiding their acts towards an effective participation in cooperation with the arbitrators, of whom is expected an active role.
A Ética das Instituições de Arbitragem
Authors: Giusti Gilberto
Published: March 2022

ABSTRACT: Ethical principles that rule human relations in general are applicable to all those who act in arbitration proceedings, i.e., the parties, the arbitrators and the arbitral institutions. Arbitral institutions are service providers subject to ethics, which involves probity in business and social responsibility. Ethics Codes published by arbitral institutions are important tools. There is a tendency for arbitral institutions to undertake a role of promoting expeditious, efficient and cost-effective proceedings.
The theories of international arbitration and related practical issues: the Brazilian approach (particularly the recent leading case on recognition of annulled awards) vis-à-vis the delocal
Authors: Filho Antonio Carlos Nachif Correia
Published: March 2022

ABSTRACT: This paper briefly describes the territorial, multi-local and delocalized theories of international arbitration (according to Gaillard), addresses trends relating to these theories in the case law of some countries and, finally, aims to identify whether Brazil adopts one of the theories. To that end, this work analyses three issues in light of the Brazilian Law, which may indicate its inclination towards one or another theory: (1) whether arbitral awards annulled at the seat can be recognized, with particular focus on the EDF case (SEC 5782), decided by the Brazilian Superior Court of Justice in December 2015; (2) whether the parties can waive the right to seek the annulment of an arbitral award; and (3) whether there is lis pendens between arbitrations and court proceedings.

ABSTRACT: Phytochemical, antioxidant, cytotoxicity, antimicrobial, and antidiabetic of brinjal (Solanum melongena) leave extracts in the present study. The selected plant material was dipped in different polarity-based solvents for one weak such as chloroform, n-hexane, methanol, ethyl acetate, and n-butanol. By using spectroscopic techniques total phenolic contents (TPC) and total flavonoid contents (TFC) were analyzed. The range of total phenolic contents was 159.48 ± 1.49 to 23.19 ± 0.40 GAE mg/100 g. The range of total flavonoid contents was 4.87± 0.28 to 29.6 ± 0.24 CE mg/100 g. Extracts had an antioxidant activity which was evaluated by using free radical scavenging DPPH assay. Total phenolic contents and the ratio inhibition in linoleic acid oxidation were also calculated. The present study result revealed that the leaves of the Solanum melongena plant may be the main source of natural antioxidants and it is also used as an antidiabetic activity. In the present study, the potential of extracts against the selected bacterias (Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli) and fungi (Fusarium solani and Aspergillus nigar) was evaluated. The plant extracts were examined against human red blood cells (RBCs) and the percentage lysis was also found in this research work. Statistical data analysis was done by Analysis of variance (ANOVA) using SPSS version 21.0.

Dental health is inextricably linked to overall wellness. One of the primary determinants of oral and dental health in poor nations is the behavioral component of dental hygiene, specifically brushing practice. The purpose of this study is to ascertain teeth brushing behavior and the factors that influence it in sixth-grade elementary school children in Lebak Bulus, South Jakarta. The study employed a cross-sectional design with a total sample size of 190 students. The data were gathered using an interview and a questionnaire. The findings indicated that up to 82.6 percent of sixth-grade kids engaged in inappropriate brushing behavior. Statistical analysis revealed a significant association between students' knowledge of the time and frequency of toothbrushing and their brushing behavior (p-value = 0.046). It is proposed that the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia adopt policies to support the development of dental health programs in school dental health services, particularly in the cognitive domain, attitudes, and behaviors of students who are concerned about their oral health.

Non-extensive thermodynamics of the radiation in heterogeneous thermal plasmas
Authors: Dragan G. S , Kutarov V. V. , Bekshaev A. Y.
Published: March 2022

Thermodynamic characteristics of the radiation of condensed combustion products presented in the form of agglomerates of metal-oxide nanoparticles demonstrate deviations from the classical Planck’s law. We propose to interpret these deviations in terms of the non-additive entropy of the photon system interacting with the heterogeneous combustion products, which makes it possible to use the non-extensive Tsallis thermodynamics for their description. It is assumed that the non-additive character of the radiation entropy in heterogeneous plasma can be explained by the influence of long-range interactions and non-equilibrium physicochemical processes. An expression is obtained for the energy-dependent distribution of the photon density, based on the phenomenological parameter of non-extensiveness q which, in the first approximation, does not depend on the energy. In this case, the "non-extensive" Planck’s law can be reduced to the "usual" Planck distribution by introducing the "effective temperature" that exceeds the real temperature. Numerical modelling has shown that the spectral density of photons, the position and magnitude of its maximum depend on the value of the parameter q, which can be used for its experimental determination and revelation of its physical nature and origin.
Resonance pressure of electromagnetic radiation on metal nanoparticle
Authors: Grigorchuk N. I.
Published: March 2022

The influence of the electromagnetic irradiation pressure on a spheroidal metallic nanoparticle at the frequencies close to the surface plasmon vibrations has been considered. With the action of the radiation pressure, the polarizability of metal nanoparticle becomes a tensor quantity. The expressions for the resonance pressure components for the cases of plane-polarized and circularly polarized light have been derived. We have demonstrated that the resonance pressure can substantially depend on the shape of a non-spherical nanoparticle and its orientation with respect to the direction of light propagation and the light polarization.
Phonemes Activating Visual Perception When Reading Three Doomsday Chapters of the Holy Qur’an
Authors: Al-Siyami Alawiya
Published: March 2022

The present study intends to explore the phonemes that activate visual perception in reading three chapters of the Holy Quran. The aim is to incorporate the usage-based approach in phonological analysis of more contextually informed measures. The premise is that visual perception emerges out of distinctive usage patterns of parts of speech that share distinctive phonemic categories and sound meaning. The data demonstrated the linguistic structure of the chapters followed a scheme of contrastive network of specific phonemic categories that were salient for morphemic functions and sound-meaning associations. It was observed that the scheme was induced from the dominance of the voiceless category in forming content words that reiterated the descriptive type of these texts. The phonemic properties of this category led to visual perception. The variation of frequencies indicated the usage of top phonemes for prosodic features, morphemic functions, and sound-symbolism association. It is hoped that realizing the minute units composing the context of the chapters gives reading a new perception.

The article provides information about the gazelle (Gazella subgutturosa) inhabiting the Charyn State National Park. In the past, the gazelle was hunted. In the middle of the twentieth century, the industrial use of the territory of the republic led to a sharp reduction in the habitat of the gazelle, as a result of which the number of animals decreased significantly. As a result, hunting for gazelles has been prohibited in Kazakhstan since 1951 and is listed in the Red Book of the Republic of Kazakhstan as a rare species. According to the gazelle census, the number of gazelles in the park increased by more than 50% from 2006 to 2020.

The article provides information about the most dangerous Spanish slimy snails that entered the territory of Kazakhstan. At the beginning of July 2020, we first met the Spanish slug (Arion vulgaris) in the Medeu State Regional Natural Park. Slimy snails predominate in the moist areas of the lower slopes of the mountains. They crowd out and replace other native animals. These species are a natural threat to local snails. Therefore, experiments were carried out on an area of 10 m2 to test biological agents against the Spanish snail (Arion vulgaris). According to the results of industrial tests, the biological preparation Bitoxibacillin (Bacillus thuringiensis var.) Showed a biological effect of 7 days — 74.9 and 7 days — 87.4 compared to the untreated control area. The biological product Aktarofit showed high biological effectiveness, providing 100% removal of Spanish mucus on the 1st day after treatment. Today, due to the annual increase in trade with foreign countries, the country has the possibility of spreading various types of pests. Therefore, to prevent these problems, further monitoring is needed to improve control of Spanish snails.

Process and Impact of Combustion on Cement Oxide Minerals: An Experimental Study
Authors: Al-Naffakh Jameel , Jafar Israa
Published: March 2022

The main stages of the primary materials are that feed the furnaces to form the mineral compounds of cement, which are the stage of drying the materials from water at a temperature of 100 degree Celsius and moving to the crystallization area at a temperature of 550 degree Celsius. Thus, the free lime begins to break down the calcium carbonate by interacting with silica and clay compounds to form (C2S) at a temperature 900 degree Celsius. In the transition region at a temperature of 1260 degree Celsius begins the formation of liquid compounds (C3A, C4AF), where the formation of a compound (C2S) continues and begins to form a compound (C3S). When the temperature rises at 1450 degree Celsius, the formation of the vehicles is complete, and this depends on the quality of the blended raw materials that affect the life of the firing blocks and the fuel consumption. As for the silica coefficient, it has a major role in determining the clinker quality, as the best silica coefficient (2.7) was obtained, as well as the best coefficient of alumina (1.38), as well as obtaining the best lime saturation coefficient (0.96) and the percentage of magnesium oxide not exceeding 5 percent, thus stabilizing the ratio Magnesium oxide to form the best burning plants (108). The difference in the concentration of substances leads to an incomplete chemical reaction and this affects the size of the resulting crystals.

Published: March 2022

Over the years, the environmental degradation of ecological resources from crude oil pollution and its human health impacts is receiving more global attention. The utilization of environmental models capable of predicting the fate, transport, and toxicity of chemicals in spilt crude oil can provide essential knowledge required to deal with the complexity associated with the fate of volatile petroleum chemicals in the environment. This paper explores the environmental fate of toxic volatile organics from an oil spill in the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria. Results from the literature implicated sabotage and operational failures from pipelines as primary causes of crude oil spillages. The generation of a fugacity model using EPI Suite™ revealed that Koc values greatly influence the behavior of BTN. Benzene, Toluene, and Naphthalene (BTN) were partitioned into three compartments based on organic-carbon partitioning coefficient (Koc). The organic-carbon partitioning coefficient (Koc) was computed as a function of soil-water distribution coefficient (Kd) and percentage organic matter (%OM). Koc was used to determining the possible risk posed on delicate ecological resources. Aquatic toxicology estimation using Ecological Structural Activity Relationship revealed that all chemicals were not toxic even at over-estimated Koc values. This research established the usefulness of screening level environmental modeling tools in assessing ecological risk and hence helpful in developing site-specific models for monitoring chemicals in the environment, which can assist governments, policymakers, and industries in designing appropriate regional disaster management plans.
Differences of Precipitation Characteristics among GCMs over Southeast Asia under AR6 Climate Change Scenarios
Authors: Sittichok Ketvara , Thepprasit Chaiyapong
Published: March 2022

Southeast Asia is known globally as a highly vulnerable climate change region. Precipitation is the primary factor that impacts livelihood in this region due to recurring flood and drought incidents. Variables projections under climate change can be made using General Circulation Models (GCMs). An investigation of projected precipitation with the new phase of the model experiment, the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6), is worth to be considered. This study investigates the spatial distributions of variability, trend and conditions (wet/dry) of precipitations generated using 10 GCMs over the SEA under AR6 with four scenarios (SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8). Three statistical methods, coefficient of variation (CV), Mann-Kendall test (MK) and standardized anomaly index (SAI), were calculated by grid cells. Significant differences among GCMs could be seen in the results. High precipitation variation with CV was indicated around the southern part of Indonesia and the Philippines oceans for six models, whereas only one model (MRI-ESM2) returned strong variation for mainland countries. A decreasing precipitation trend during the historical period could be observed in mainland countries with four GCMs. However, the SSP3-7.0 and SSP5-8.5 of most models presented precipitation increment. The extremely wet and dry ratio to all other years was calculated. Highly wet years higher than 10% were indicated in SSP5-8.5 with MPI-ESM1 occurring in most areas of the region, whereas other models gave 6-10% of highly wet occurrence. Drought situation occurred higher than 10% and could be seen with only three models with small areas under all scenarios.  returned strong variation for mainland countries. A decreasing precipitation trend during the historical period could be observed in mainland countries with four GCMs. However, the SSP3-7.0 and SSP5-8.5 of most models presented precipitation increment.

Repere arheologice privind statutul politic al Crișanei și Banatului românesc în Kaganatul avar / Archaologische Hinweise fur den politische Status des Kreischgebietes und des rumanischen Banats im Rahmen des awarischen Khaganats
Authors: Cosma Călin
Published: March 2022

Das Vorkommen awarischer Krieger im 7.–8. Jh. im Kreischgebiet und im rumänischen Banat ist ein unbestreitbarer Sachverhalt (Abb. 2–3). Zeugnisse dafür sind die Friedhöfe und die Einzelgräber, die zweifellos Kriegern awarischer Herkunft angehörten. Das Kreischgebiet wurde bis zur Weißen Kreisch von den Kriegern kontrolliert, die sich an der mittleren Theiß festgesetzt hatten. Die Ebene zwischen der Weißen Kreisch und der Marosch, sowie die Banater Ebene, standen unter der Oberherrschaft des Awarenchefs, der das Machtzentrum an der unteren Theiß, mit dem Sitz in Kunágota, leitete (Abb. 4). Dass sowohl die awarischen Nekropolen des 7. als auch jene des 8. Jh. im Gebiet westlich der Westkarpaten die Linie der Erdwälle nicht überschreiten, die von Norden nach Süden die Westebene Rumäniens und die Banater Ebene durchqueren, stützt die ältere Überlegung, dass diese Wälle als die östliche „Grenze” des awarischen Khaganats gelten können. Das parallele Vorkommen der Erdwälle suggeriert die Phasen der Ausdehnung der Grenzen des Khaganats im Karpatenbecken in östliche Richtung. Dies ist besonders auf der Karte der Funde sichtbar, die die awarischen Friedhöfe des 8. Jh. im rumänischen Banat betreffen (Abb. 3–4). Die archäologischen Gegebenheiten zeigen, dass die Awaren nur die niedrigen Ebenen im Westen Rumäniens besetzten. Dies kann dadurch erklärt werden, dass die Ebene westlich der Westkarpaten ein günstiges Gebiet für die nomadische Lebensweise der awarischen Stämme war, die sich stets auf der Suche nach Ebenen für den Unterhalt der Rinderherden befanden. Außerhalb der Grenzen des awarischen Khaganats blieb die Banater Gebirgsgegend (Abb. 4).Es ist schwierig zu schätzen, was genau der Beitrag der awarischen Welt zur Herausbildung der Sach- und geistigen Kultur im 8. und später im 9. Jh. in den Gebieten östlich der Theiß und im Inneren des Karpatenbogens war. Bezüglich des Kreischgebietes und des rumänischen Banats kann behauptet werden, dass es im Westen Rumäniens keinerlei in das 3.–5. Jahrzehnt des 9. Jh. datierbaren archäologischen Beweise für die Gegenwart awarischer Krieger gibt. Ich bestreite nicht kategorisch die Existenz von Nachkommen der Krieger des 8. Jh. Ihr Vorkommen im 9. Jh. im Westen Rumäniens muss aber wissenschaftlich mit konkreten archäologischen Zeugnissen bewiesen werden.

Ipostaze feminine în cea de-a doua jumătate a secolului al XIX-lea și la începutul secolului XX / Hypostases féminines dans la seconde moitié du XIX e siècle et au début du XX e siècle
Authors: Moţ Teodora-Daniela
Published: March 2022

L’intervalle de temps compris entre la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle et le début du XXe siècle a été une période de l’histoire de l’Europe occidentale marquée par plusieurs changements socio-économiques, comme l’industrialisation, l’expansion urbaine, ou le développement de la division du travail. Tout ça a conduit au lancement d’un mouvement progressif de modernisation non seulement sur le plan technologique, mais aussi dans les mentalités individuelles et collectives, ainsi que dans les visions de la vie. Un tel changement de perception s’est également produit dans le domaine de la féminité et du changement de statut et d’équilibre des forces entre hommes et femmes, annonçant une nouvelle étape d’évolution culturelle et sociale dans l’histoire de l’Europe. Pendant cette période les femmes ont rejeté les notions conventionnelles de féminité précédemment acceptées et elles ont transcendé le territoire de la maternité et de la vie domestique, acquérir ainsi leur indépendance financière et sociale. Cela a marqué l’avancement des femmes modernes dans la sphère publique et l’adoption de formes plus libres d’expression de leur propre identité. Ainsi, de nombreuses femmes ont réussi à faire carrière dans les services publics, dans l’enseignement ou dans les transports.Bien que préfiguré depuis la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle, le début du XXe siècle imposera un concept artistique beaucoup plus progressif de l’idéal féminin, contrairement à l’art du début du XIXe siècle, qui illustrait la notion de féminité idéalisée et servile. On va gagner plus en plus de terrain l’idée que, grace d’une part, à leur qualités innées en ce qui concerne les questions sociales et d’autre part, grâce à l’éducation reçue des mères, les femmes sont plus capables dans la société que les hommes qui ont une éducation plus orientée vers la sphère professionnelle qui ne leur fournit pas suffisamment d’orientation et de connaissances intuitives. En conséquence, il était indiqué aux hommes de faire appel au jugement féminin concernant la vie sociale. Au Banat et en Transylvanie, provinces qui, dans la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle et dans la première moitié du XXe siècle faisaient partie de l’Empire austro-hongrois, ainsi que dans le reste de l’Europe, bien que les normes sociales continuent de placer les femmes dans un rôle d’inégalité avec les hommes, le modèle de la nouvelle femme libérée de toute contrainte, qui a surgi pendant cette période, a gagné une victoire decisive sur le vieux état d’innocente plénitude et d’asservissement docile

In this paper, the author presents a comparative study on the medallions of 9 historical !ags of "re-"ghters, wheelwrights and farriers from di#erent towns in Timiș County. %e iconographic study of the medallions, exclusively those dedicated to the spiritual patron, Saint Florian, contains data about the morphological structure of composition, the symbolic elements represented, chromatic, execution technique and the current state of conservation according to age, functional wear and way of preservation. Saint Florian is associated, in the Central and Eastern Europe, with the extinction of "re. %e Saint is depicted in clothing of a Roman centurion commander (company), holding a red !ag in a hand and with the other one pouring water from a wash tub on a building in !ames. Only in three localities from Banat is found the statue representing Saint Florian: Jimbolia, Aradul Nou and Zădăreni. %e civil volunteer "re-"ghters brigade (Önkéntes Polgári Tűzoltókar) from Arad, the "rst one of its kind in Banat, established in 1861 among its rules, that the "re-"ghter !ag must depict Saint Florian as well as the text „Egy Mindnyájunkrt, Mindnyájant Egyért” (One for All, All for One).
Parohiile catolice din Banat în epoca lui Sigismund de Luxemburg / The Catholic Parishes of Banat in the Age of Sigismund of Luxembourg

Published: March 2022

# e age of Sigismund of Luxembourg was one of the most representatives in the history of medieval Hungary, including in terms of ecclesiastical realities. If there is only little information for the Orthodox Church history, theCatholicism sources areenough to allow detailed analysis. A series of documentary information allowed survey therealities of the lowest tier of Catholic Church structures: parishes. Only for period 1387–1437 sources mentioned62 localities that had at least one Catholic parish. In urban areas, Cenad or Timisoara, the same sources indicatethe presence of several parish churches. Very important was how those parishes worked and how they interacted with society. As in many cases of medieval Hungary in Banat most of catholic churches are patronized by the elitenobility. Various members of the elite build or help to build the community church; they are involved in church maintenance and because of this right of patronage (ius patronatus) may lead the appointment of a priest whom they propose. # is analysis revealed that Catholic priests were involved in various aspect of social life. Most of the documentary mentions present the priests in confl ict situations with noblemen especially with Himfy family. # e study is followed by four documentary appendices, largely unpublished, which complete the information alreadyknown about the Catholic world of Banat.
El advenimiento democrático en la Rumanía de 1990 y el principio del fin de su agricultura colectiva / The Democratic Advent of 1990’s Romania and the Beginning of the End of its Collective Agriculture
Authors: Díaz-Diego José
Published: March 2022

+e fall of Nicolae Ceaușescu regime in Romania in 1989 showed not only the collapse of a political system unable to survive its own internal contradictions and unable to o=er alternatives to the capitalist model operating across the Iron Curtain, but the end of a system whose land policy were based on a public and cooperative agriculture promotion. +ose agriculture policies were dismantled by the National Salvation Front (FSN) inmediately when that transition government was empowered after january 1990, only one month later of the 1989 December Revolution. However, the especialized literature has focused extensively in addressing the 1991 land reform, devoting less attention than it deserves, due to its importance, to the 'rst political and legal decisions of the FSN took to lay the groundwork of the future land privatization one year before. +e paper deals with the exposition and the analysis of the agro-liberal measures enacted to dismantling the collective agriculture of Romania by the predemocratic transitional government in 1990.
Cercei de aur de epocă romană din colecţia Pongrácz / Gold Earrings Belonging to the Pongrácz Collection Stemming from the Roman Era
Authors: Flutur Alexandru , Tănase Daniela
Published: March 2022

During recent preparation of analytical records of evidence our attention was drawn by some Roman gold ornaments of the collection of the National Museum of Banat in Timișoara. These ornaments come from the collection of Imre Pongrácz, who was commander of the Honvéd garrison in Orşova port. The collection was included in the Heritage of the Museum in Timisoara in 1903, being purchased from his heirs.The gold earrings, decorated in the filigree and granulation technique, can be traced back to the 2nd and 3rd centuries p. Chr., and they were discovered south of the Danube, in Serbia and in Bulgaria.The pendant earring, registered under inv. No. 85 (Pongrácz – Exhibit XV 1 / 2.58; Pl. II 1 Pl. III.1), can be most likely dated the 2nd century p. Chr.The “knot of Hercules” type earrings occur mostly in the Roman provinces Moesia Superior and Moesia Inferior, Thrace, Pannonia and Dacia, their role being not only to enhance beauty, but also to avert evil – thus having an apotripaic designation. The earring registered under inv. No. 88 (Pongrácz – Exhibit XV 1 / 2.11; Pl. II.5-b, Pl. III.5) is of type II, set by Ivana Popovič, and can be traced back to the 2nd and 3rd centuries p. Chr. The pair of earrings registered under the inv. No. 89 (Pongrácz – Exhibit XV 1 / 2.9; Pl. II.3.ab; Pl. III.4) and inv. No. 92 (Pongrácz – Exhibit XV 1 / 2.10; Pl. II.4 ab, Pl. III.3) belong to the type II c, established by Ivana Popovič and was traced back to the second half of the 3rd century p. Chr.The disc-shaped filigree earring, inv. No. 91 (Pongrácz – Exhibit XV 1 / 2.14; Pl. II. 2a-b, Pl. III.2), which was preserved without its handle grip, dates from the 3rd century p. Chr.The gold earrings of the collection of the National Museum of Banat enrich the panel regarding gold earrings’ discoveries, being processed based on the filigree and granulation technique in the Roman provinces located south of the Lower Danube. These could have been discovered in funerary contexts by antiquities’ “hunters”, which they then sold to the antiquary Imre Pongrácz, because such pieces have so far been found mostly in graves.The earrings were ornaments favored especially by the Roman women and certainly these specimens were the property of prominent members of the communities to which they belonged, based on the fact that gold earrings, often adorned with gems (in our case pearls and chalcedony), were the privilege of rich women in the Roman society.
Narratives About the Future, the End of Times, and the Colonization of the Future
Authors: Mastrantonio Monica
Published: March 2022

This article aims to argue about the colonization of the future and its narratives. Historically, the future has been determined by a linear Jewish-Christian timeline with a beginning, and an end. Beyond Apocalypse (Armageddon), and Utopia (the dream of Paradise on Earth), the turn of the millennium (the year 2.000) introduced new narratives to these. Technology, the bug of the millennium, and data science become predominant aspects to which the future relates to. This paper argues that the colonization of the future is the act of producing a future in which dominance is still in the power of some, and not available to all. Unless equality and equal distribution of forces win the battle, humanity will continue being a prisoner of the organizations that control and discourse about the future. The colonization of the future, likewise the Church and its final days, or Utopia’s discoveries of Lost Paradise, is being set to determine the future using technology and predictability. It is concluded that the turn of the millennium posts a new time to society, but again, it does not seem that all individuals have been invited. The colonization of the future is a key concept to discuss the forces that are creating the future, and it highlights the necessity to decolonize it.

The FIFA Men’s World Cup (FWC) is the most important football (soccer) competition, attracting worldwide attention. A popular practice among football fans in Brazil is to organize contests in which each participant informs guesses on the final score of each match. The participants are then ranked according to some scoring rule. Inspired by these contests, we created a website to hold an online contest, in which participants were asked for their probabilities on the outcomes of upcoming matches of the FWC. After each round of the tournament, the ranking of all participants based on a proper scoring rule was published. In this article we estimate, by means of simulations, the ability of the best forecasters of our contest, considering that their good performances could be due to randomness. We also study the performance of some methods to aggregate individual forecasts, in order to study if some sort of wisdom of crowds (WOC) phenomenon was verified in the contest.
Optimization of FSW Processing Factors on Hardness for Dissimilar AA6061-T6 and AZ31B O Alloys
Authors: Vasantha Kumar Karutha Pandian , Balasubramanian Muthusamy
Published: March 2022

In modern industries, such as aerospace, automotive, marine and others, aluminium and magnesium alloys are the most frequently used non-ferrous materials. This paper discusses optimising processing factors to produce a high hardness of dissimilar Al/Mg alloys. The experiment was designed and conducted by varying input factors according to response surface methodology-central composite design. The regression model has been developed between the processing factor and hardness based on the results of the experiment. ANOVA is used to validate the regression model and to assess the percentage of each hardness factor’s contribution. Finally, the desirability approach is used to optimise the processing factor for high hardness.

Published: March 2022

This current research focuses on optimizing the welding process parameters and penetration of 5052 alloys using a TIG welding process based on the Taguchi methods. Process parameters such as current, voltage, and speed with three different levels were taken to form the L27 orthogonal array using the design of experiments. Analysis of variance, signal-to-noise ratio analysis, and regression analysis were performed. The regression analysis indicated that the developed model has greater adequacy in predicting the reinforcement form factor (RFF), penetration shape factor (PSF) and hardness of the weld specimens. In addition, the optimized parametric condition for the welded specimen was found to be current, voltage, and speed of 140 A, 18 V, and 300 mm/min, respectively.
