Land suitability assessment of soils for rubber and cashew cultivation in the Coastal Area of Bodo City, Rivers State, Southern Nigeria
Authors: Peter Kaananwii Dum , Gbaraneh Lesi Dike
Published: December 2021

The research was carried out in Bodo city in Gokana Local Government of Rivers State, Southern Nigeria to evaluate the land suitability for rubber and cashew cultivation using the relevant land suitability guidelines for the cultivation of the two cash crops of interest. Mapping of the 100 ha of land in Bodo city was done using the rigid grid method of soil survey. The three mapping units (summit, middle slope and valley bottom) were identified and delineated. Three representative soil pedons of 2 m x 2 m x 2 m were dug and described by horizon from top to bottom (0 cm to 200 cm). Soil samples were collected from identifiable horizons and processed for laboratory analysis using standard routine laboratory methods most appropriate. The results showed that pedons 1 and 3 covering 86,000 ha of the entire study area were found to be moderately suitable for rubber cultivation with limitation in soil physical characteristics (texture) and fertility (low base saturation < 50 %). Pedon 2 covering 14,000 ha of the total land of the study area was marginally suitable due to limitation in soil fertility (low base saturation < 80 %). Pedon 1, 2, and 3 were also moderately suitable for cashew cultivation in the study area with limitation in soil physical characteristics (texture) and fertility (low organic carbon), while limitation in wetness (poor drainage) was peculiar to pedon 3 only. Thus, soils in the study area were moderately suitable for both rubber and cashew cultivation in the area.
An Analysis of Translation of War Literature in Journals (1931-1945)
Authors: Niu Tingting
Published: December 2021

The victory of the China’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression is of great significance to the whole Chinese nation because it is the first time in nearly a century that the Chinese people have won a complete victory against imperialism. A large number of translations of foreign war literature were published in anti-war periodicals. However, domestic scholars have not paid enough attention to the study of war literature translation in Anti-Japanese war periodicals, so the research results are relatively few. This paper researches the translation of war literature in three periodicals of the war period (The Anti-Japanese War Literature and Art, The Weekly Digest and Translation Series: A Comprehensive Translation of English Newspapers and Magazines), including a survey of the sources of the translations, the translators, the main ideas of the translations, the translation techniques and their significance. The study found that the translation introductions of war literature from these periodicals penetrated the readership of the public, enhanced the confidence of the nation in the victory the China’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, promoted the awakening of the whole nation, inspired the people of the nation to join in the Anti-Japanese War, and made a special contribution to the victory of the China’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.

Published: December 2021

Introduction. This article under takes a study of the clan name Shoshoolog (Šošōlog) in the context of ethnogenesis and ethnic history of the Mongolic and Turkic peoples of Inner Asia and Siberia. New historical and ethnographical data, including the evidence of ethnonymics as a part of the ethnic history of the Mongolic and Turkic peoples of the region will contribute to the knowledge of the migration and settlement history of the Shoshoolog people. The study aims at examining the etymology of the term šošōloγ, the area where it wasspread and theways of itsspread. Data and methods. The authors have taken into account written documents, ethnographical and folklore sources that contained references to the ethnonym in question. The written sources of the period between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, mainly in Russian, such as Cossacks’ otpiski (reports), and, more recent, travel and census reports, contain various forms of the ethnonym, often incorrectly spelled but still of interest as evidence pointing at the settlement areas of the ethnic group, as well as a source for linguistic speculation. The ethnographical sources include references to the ethnic group in question based on the legends and sagas shedding light on the people’s origin and settlement patterns both in the Baikal area and in Mongolia. The folklore texts written down by N. N. Poppe, S. P. Baldaev, etc. Include the stories of the Shoshoolog as a Buryat clan with a strong Shamanic background, as well as various forms of the ethnonym. Granted the available knowledge of the historical patterns in the language evolution, the orthographical forms of the ethnonym contained in different records were used as the data for further phonetical reconstructions and localizations of the ethnonym’s phonetic shape in terms of chronological and geographical dimensions. This data, alongside other material on the ethnonymics and onomastics of Mongolic and Turkic peoples, contributes to the linguistic part of the database in the field. Conclusions. A comparative analysis of ethnonymic evidence contained in a variety of sources examined resulted in phonetic reconstructions of the ethnonym under study to finally shed new light on its etymology, as well as to project further developments of its phonetic shape.
«До талого, пацаны!»*: молодежные неформальные территориальные группировки Элисты

Published: December 2021

Introduction. The article deals with street youth gangs in Elista, the capital of Kalmykia. In the process of their development, such organized criminal groups have transformed into a special subculture with its own hierarchies, spheres of influence, lifestyles, language, and practices. The author aims to show the development of this phenomenon as a subculture in the youth milieu, describing the norms of behavior, values, and life orientations of members of particular gangs operating in Elista. Data and methods. The main research sources are field materials collected by the author by way of interviewing members of such informal groups. The analysis involved the structural-functional method, participatory observation method, method of content-analysis and interviewing. Results. There is a history to the growth of modern informal groupings in the town: in fact, they proliferated during the period of restoration of the Kalmyk ASSR with its center in Elista. Under new conditions, within urban environment informal street gangs were formed on the principle of shared territories, which was in fact the most typical kind of such groupings in the country at large. For the younger generation, the street served as a space of masculine brotherly unity based on bodily practices, as well as on similar ideas, views, and concepts. In the period between 2000 and 2010, some of the informal units represented qualitatively new forms of organized criminal youth groupings; these were characterized by dominance practices, power relations, and age hierarchy. Although the youth (patsan) companies were not part of the criminal thieves’ subculture, they maintained to a degree this connection and found ways for organized criminal activity.

A Capacidade Estatal e as demandas da sociedade no contexto da COVID- 19 no setor da educação em Moçambique
Authors: Xavier Zeca Kátia Sara Henriques
Published: December 2021

Em 1 de Abril de 2020 foi decretado o Estado de Emergência através do decreto Presidencial 11/2020 que estendeu-se até 6 de Setembro de 2020. Através da Resolução n.º 72/2020, de 5 de agosto, o Presidente da República (PR) declarou o estado de emergência para todo o território moçambicano, posteriormente ratificado pela Lei n.º 9/2020, de 7 de agosto. A presente análise intitulada  A capacidade estatal e as demandas da sociedade no contexto da covid-19 no setor da educação em Moçambique, tem por objetivo analisar a Capacidade Estatal e resposta do setor da educação no contexto da Pandemia da Covid-19. Em termos metodológicos recorreu-se a analise documental e bilbiográfica em torno da temática em questão. Pode se concluir que o Estado moçambicano tem demonstrado capacidade articuladora e minimizadora para enfrentar os desafios impostos pela Covid-19. A Capacidade Estatal para fazer face a nova dinâmica mostrou-se desafiadora e mantém-se neste processo como entidade primordial para garantir a eficácia e implementação de todas as medidas preventivas. Contudo o que fica em aberto é a capacidade financeira para que estas mesmas medidas possam ser abrangentes e inclusivas, tendo em conta as disparidades no acesso aos recursos e ao bem estar-estar.
Agronegócio: pandemia Covid-19 e os impactos no comércio entre o Brasil e a China
Authors: Tamarindo Ubirajara Garcia Ferreira , Pires Marcos Cordeiro
Published: December 2021

Sob a perspectiva das relações comerciais sino-brasileiras, o presente artigo tem o objetivo de analisar os impactos provocados pela pandemia da COVID-19 nas exportações de produtos agropecuários entre o Brasil e a China no ano de 2020, em que se deu o início da pandemia, bem como as possíveis mudanças chinesas em suas estratégias de segurança alimentar e de diversificação geográfica de importação de produtos agropecuários, aceleradas por conta da crise sanitária mundial e que exigirá especial atenção por parte do setor nacional. Nesse contexto, este artigo, conduzido por uma abordagem qualitativa e de revisão bibliográfica e documental, constatou que a pandemia provocada pelo Coronavírus, SARS-CoV-2, causou enorme degradação do ambiente econômico e dos níveis de emprego e, sobretudo, do poder de compra da população brasileira. Não obstante, o agronegócio, setor econômico do País que mais exporta e gera superavit comercial, não foi afetado pela pandemia mundial em 2020 e continua em 2021 com perspectivas favoráveis, principalmente: a) em razão da alta demanda chinesa por commodities; b) dos conflitos nas relações sino-americanas; e c) da desvalorização cambial, notadamente da moeda brasileira frente ao Dólar Americano e ao Euro.
Pensar a partir “de baixo”: o simbolismo de Marielle Franco para a transformação teórica das Relações Internacionais
Authors: Quadros Mariana Felix , Piacentini Maria Eduarda , Decol Jocieli -
Published: December 2021

O presente artigo busca discutir como o simbolismo de Marielle Franco pode contribuir para a transformação teórica das Relações Internacionais (RIs). Para isso, faremos uma reflexão sobre a trajetória política de Marielle Franco, uma mulher negra, LGBTQIA+, socióloga, vereadora e militante feminista antirracista, associando a sua figura ao debate teórico e político de Relações Internacionais, por meio dos conceitos de raça e gênero. A pergunta que guia esta pesquisa é: como a figura de Marielle Franco se relaciona à transformação teórica das RIs? Para responder tal questionamento, será realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa de caráter exploratório, orientada por teorias críticas das Relações Internacionais. Nosso argumento central é que o simbolismo de Marielle Franco representa a urgência em pluralizar e transformar a disciplina, conectando teoria e política e descentralizando o seu foco de análise centrado no Estado para a incorporação de atores múltiplos e de perspectivas outras, que pensam o internacional a partir “de baixo”. Deste modo, relacionar Marielle às RIs nos guia para uma nova visão de mundo, na qual a agência de corpos historicamente marginalizados e silenciados é incorporada à realidade internacional.
On Alawization in Syria
Authors: Da Silva Gabriela Santos , Ferabolli Silvia Regina
Published: December 2021

Este artigo emprega o termo “Alauização” para definir a proeminência de membros da comunidade alauíta em posições de poder na Síria, um processo que já foi notado por alguns estudiosos, mas que não foi nomeado até agora. Pretendemos responder as seguintes perguntas: existe um processo que pode ser chamado de Alauização acontecendo na Síria? Como a Alauização pode ter se tornado um processo político no país? Como ela pode ter evoluído com o tempo? E como ela é percebida entre os profissionais de relações internacionais? Essencialmente, as circunstâncias que poderiam permitir que esse processo ocorresse estão enraizadas no período colonial da Síria e sua evolução está intimamente relacionada à ascensão de Hafiz al-Assad ao poder – lançando uma "dinastia Assad", que continua governando o país. A percepção desse processo baseou-se, metodologicamente, na representação histórica e foi investigada por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com diplomatas sediados na ONU que trabalham com questões do Oriente Médio e/ou que já ocuparam cargos na Síria. Conclui-se sugerindo que, embora haja o reconhecimento desse processo, ainda há desacordo sobre como ele ocorre e quão disseminado é internamente.
Dançando com a solidão: o corpo do palhaço e seus afetos
Authors: Ferreira Andre Luiz Rodrigues
Published: December 2021

O artigo objetiva investigar a corporeidade na linguagem da palhaçaria, traçando cruzamentos entre a atuação cênica do palhaço e conceitos filosóficos como afectos, afirmação de vida e subjetividade. Esse trabalho parte do diálogo entre conceitos da formação em palhaço e suas possíveis relações com a filosofia deleuzeana. Conclui-se, assim, que a corporeidade do palhaço dinamiza potências e problemáticas que devem ser experienciadas na prática da atuação e do pensamento, instâncias não distintas onde não se pode distinguir entre palhaço e espectador quem afeta e quem é afetado. Palavras-chavePalhaçaria. Corporeidade. Afetos. Afirmação de Vida.

Métodos em Linguística Popular (aplicada): o que pensa o povo? (Methods in (applied) folk linguistics: getting into the minds of the folk)
Authors: Preston Dennis R.
Published: December 2021

Este artigo trata da coleta e interpretação de dados em linguística popular, mas, como o título entre parênteses sugere, não se limita a qualquer noção pré-concebida de quais abordagens ou técnicas podem ser mais relevantes para a ampla variedade de preocupações no âmbito da linguística aplicada. Vou conceber a linguística popular amplamente aqui, incluindo não apenas os comentários que os não linguistas fazem sobre os tópicos linguísticos, mas também, as reações que eles têm a variedades de linguagem e uso da linguagem, incluindo respostas abertas e subconscientes. Em outras palavras, as descobertas da psicologia social da linguagem (ou seja, estudos de atitude) são consideradas parte da linguística popular, juntamente com dados derivados de um discurso mais consciente ou de funções operacionais. Esta é uma posição diferente daquela que atribui o rótulo de “linguística folk/popular” a respostas mais conscientes e “atitudes de linguagem” a outras relativamente mais inconscientes (NIEDZIELSKI; PRESTON, 2003, p. xi).
CONTRATO DIDÁTICO NO ENSINO REMOTO: UM CONTRIBUTO PARA O ESTUDO DE ÁREA ALIADO AO SOFTWARE GEOGEBRA
Authors: Alves Rodrigues Joelma , Da Silva Santiago Paulo Vitor , Vieira Alves Francisco Régis , Brandão Menezes Daniel
Published: December 2021

O ensino remoto é aderido em situações emergenciais, nas quais as aulas acontecem fora do espaço físico, a sala de aula, ocorrendo então de forma on-line. O presente trabalho apresenta um modelo de ensino baseado na Teoria das Situações Didáticas (TSD) e amparado pelo software GeoGebra, como forma de facilitar a aprendizagem dos estudantes. Assim, objetiva-se descrever uma proposta didática para o ensino de área de figuras planas, estabelecendo um contrato didático no ambiente remoto. No desenvolvimento, será utilizada a Engenharia Didática (ED) como metodologia de pesquisa, desenvolvendo suas duas primeiras fases (análises preliminares e concepção e análises a priori) e buscando favorecer um ambiente de construção do conhecimento. Um grande desafio para o ensino remoto é o acesso à internet, pois muitos estudantes utilizam uma conexão bastante instável, outros fazem uso dos próprios dados móveis e ainda tem alunos que nem possuem internet em casa, o que, infelizmente, continua sendo um problema em muitas cidades brasileiras.

La evaluación referida a la aplicación de las fichas por parte de docentes fue positiva, de acuerdo a las evidencias que proveen las opiniones recabadas en el cuestionario.
MEMÓRIA, IMAGINÁRIO E DIREITO AO ESQUECIMENTO: AS DISPUTAS DE SENTIDOS PARA O SUJEITO EX-CONDENADO EM COMENTÁRIOS DIGITAIS
Authors: Cortes Gerenice , Ferreira Silva Ihasmyn Camilla
Published: December 2021

O artigo tem por objetivo analisar a construção discursiva do sujeito ex-condenado nas mídias digitais, como também as discursividades sobre as tentativas de reinserção social desse sujeito e sua (re)construção identitária. O estudo respalda-se teoricamente nos pressupostos da Análise de Discurso (AD) de filiação pecheuxtiana, além das constatações doutrinárias sobre o Direito ao Esquecimento e sua prática jurisprudencial na seara criminal. O corpus foi construído de um recorte de oito comentários digitais sobre uma matéria jornalística que aborda a temática da ressocialização do ex-condenado. As análises mostram uma forte tensão instaurada entre a memória sobre o sujeito ex-condenado e a (re)construção de uma nova memória discursiva, qual seja a de um cidadão. Nessa trama, as projeções imaginárias de não-pessoa determinam sentidos para a exclusão social do ex-detento e instauram, no discurso, uma posição-sujeito punitivista. Os discursos em funcionamento nas mídias digitais e redes sociais, dadas as suas condições de produção e de circulação, produzem efeitos de apagamento de sentidos de cidadania para o ex-detento, e assim, dificulta a sua ressocialização.

DESCLASADOS Y DESIGUALES: MODELO EXPLICATIVO RELACIONAL DE MOVILIDAD DE CLASES SOCIALES
Authors: Oliveros Fortiche Diana Esperanza
Published: December 2021

Este artículo de investigación doctoral presenta un modelo explicativo relacional entre el sistema capitalista, la sociedad de consumo y las estrategias de movilidad de clases sociales medias y bajas en Colombia. Su objetivo es sustentar la hipótesis que las prácticas de consumo desarrolladas durante los procesos de ingreso y acomodación en clases medias reproducen y naturalizan la desigualdad. En su base teórica confluyen categorías interdisciplinarias de las ciencias sociales como antropología, sociología, economía y psicología. Su metodología de corte mixto utiliza técnicas cualitativas de entrevista biográfica y cuantitativas de encuesta. Entre los principales resultados emerge la paradoja: el plan de escape de la inequidad reproduce una nueva inequidad legitimada por los agentes de clase a través de estrategias de acumulación de ciertos capitales, de prácticas de consumo y de la conformidad con los mecanismos constitutivos de la desigualdad.
AMÉRICA LATINA Y EL CARIBE EN ZONA DE RIESGO: LA PANDEMIA DE COVID-19 Y LA DOCTRINA DEL SHOCK
Authors: Caputto María Carolina
Published: December 2021

El presente artículo se postula como una advertencia respecto al eventual uso de la situación de crisis provocada -o, mejor dicho, agudizada- por la pandemia de COVID-19 en los países de Latinoamérica y el Caribe, a través de un análisis sustentado en la “doctrina del shock” postulada por la escritoria, periodista y activista canadiense Naomi Klein. Luego de un repaso histórico donde se pueden encontrar sus argumentos, el trabajo analiza por qué motivos interpreto que el derecho humano a la salud de los ciudadanos de nuestra región se encuentra bajo amenaza, en el contexto de la actual pandemia. Para concluir, sostengo y busco justificar que la Bioética de vertiente latinoamericana puede resultar eficaz para abordarla críticamente y con sólidos argumentos humanistas y racionales, alzando la voz en los distintos ámbitos contra toda pretensión de subestimar la calidad de derecho humano del derecho a la salud y, con ello,  el rol del Estado como garante de la dignidad de la persona y los derechos fundamentales.
BIOÉTICA CLÍNICA COMO PARTE INTEGRANTE DE UMA MEDICINA DOS VALORES E AFETOS
Authors: Borges Keid Fernanda
Published: December 2021

Da assimetria relacional entre médicos e pacientes, emergem valores humanos morais capazes de impactar negativamente essa interação, dificultando a comunicação e a tomada de decisões. Em situações de vulnerabilidade, esses conflitos morais tornam-se agravados. Métodos deliberativos em Bioética surgem como instrumento na condução de dilemas morais. Este artigo se trata de uma revisão bibliográfica, cujo objetivo é demonstrar como a medicina pode ser tornar menos defensiva, diminuindo as distâncias entre médico e paciente, por intermédio da Bioética. Fica revelado que o cuidado com a dor e com o sofrimento humano é o grande desafio a ser trabalhado pela área da saúde e, assim, deve ser constante a busca de um olhar mais aprofundado, capaz de perceber cada indivíduo na sua unidade, constituída de corpo e alma. A evolução tecnológica aumentou as distâncias entre seres humanos e, com isso, a Bioética Principialista precisou evoluir. Embora as deliberações bioéticas não sejam as soluções definitivas para os dilemas morais, elas podem trilhar caminhos para uma medicina mais humanizada e mais afetuosa.

Many less fortunate people are struggling to pay for their medical expenses, as well as with the contributions they have to pay for their health insurance. People especially those who are living in lower-income countries end up suffering from both illnesses and debt when they get sick. This paper is a bibliometric review of 638 articles retrieved from the Scopus database on the subject of sustainable medical insurance, during the past 20 years, from 2000 to 2020. Scopus database was selected as it offers access to published research papers in high-quality journals relevant to the topic studied. Three research streams were further identified in this paper: health financing, health insurance, and global health. The bibliometric analyses provide insights in publication output concerning the growth of publication, most influential authors, keywords analysis, most influential sources, most cited documents, and publications output by countries. Our recommendation would be to design and develop pro-poor medical insurance, which will significantly help the less fortunate people, especially from the lower-income countries, which cannot pay it.
Does Aspirin help or damage the liver?
Authors: Diamandis Dr. Carolina , Balaskas Alexandros , Ivanova Olga , Lazar Marius , Smith Lucas
Published: December 2021

Aspirin is one of the most widely used medicines in the world and has been on the market for over a century. Therefore, it is surprising that little solid research has been done regarding the effects of aspirin on the liver. If anything, you can find a few studies from the 1970s. At that time, aspirin was described as damaging to the liver by quite some authors. But since the turn of the millennium, studies have suddenly appeared that attribute a liver-protective effect to aspirin. We have investigated this contradiction and found a tipping point effect of high clinical relevance.

Analytical study of effect of energy band parameters and lattice temperature on conduction band offset in AlN/Ga2O3 HEMT
Authors: Singh Rajan , Lenka Trupti , Nguyen Hieu
Published: December 2021

Apart from other factors, band alignment led conduction band offset (CBO)
largely affects the two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) density ns in wide
bandgap semiconductor based high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs). In
the context of assessing various performance metrics of HEMTs, rational
estimation of CBO and maximum achievable 2DEG density is critical. Here, we
present an analytical study on the effect of different energy band
parameters-energy bandgap and electron affinity of heterostructure
constituents, and lattice temperature on CBO and estimated 2DEG density in
quantum triangular-well. It is found that at thermal equilibrium, ns
increases linearly with ?EC at a fixed Schottky barrier potential, but
decreases linearly with increasing gate-metal work function even at fixed
?EC, due to increased Schottky barrier heights. Furthermore, it is also
observed that poor thermal conductivity led to higher lattice temperature
which results in lower energy bandgap, and hence affects ?EC and ns at
higher output currents.
Evaluation of electronic readiness level: A case of financial institution
Authors: KardanMoghaddam Hossein , Sarboland Nafiseh
Published: December 2021

Electronic readiness is the ability to accept, use and apply information and
communication technology in an organization. To effectively implement
information and communication technologies, the first step is to measure the
electronic readiness of companies and organizations to adopt these new
technologies. In this research, the level of electronic readiness of Mellat
Bank has been studied in Khorasan Razavi province in Iran, from the
perspective of the employees in cities of Feyz Abad, Kashmar, Bajestan,
Gonabad and Bazar and Central branches in Khorasan Razavi province.
Electronic readiness levels of Bank Mellat have been evaluated in the
following dimensions: Strategy readiness and IT policies, IT infrastructure
readiness, management readiness, legal-juridical readiness, culture and
human resource (personnel) readiness and Process readiness. This research is
based on descriptive research design and applied purpose. The statistical
population of the personnel includes people with sufficient and necessary
information in the field of financial and banking activities regarding
e-commerce issues and e-readiness, which was a total population of 74
people. 50 questionnaires consisting of 30 questions were distributed using
non-probability convenience sampling method of which 42 questionnaires were
accurate. The SPSS15 software was used for analysis. The results of the
analysis showed that the level of electronic readiness of Mellat Bank in

A high efficiency pneumatic drive system using vane-type semi-rotary actuators
Authors: Rufer Alfred
Published: December 2021

A compressed air driven generator is proposed, where the pneumatic energy is
converted into mechanical energy using two vane-type rotational actuators.
The use of a second actuator with a higher displacement in order to produce
a thermodynamic expansion allows to reach a better energetic efficiency in
comparison to the classical operation of such actuators. The alternating
movement of the angular actuators is transformed into a unidirectional
rotational motion with the help of a mechanical motion rectifier. The paper
analyses the enhancement of the energetic performance of the system. An
experimental set-up is also described. The performance of the new system is
described, and the limits of its realization is commented on the base of
experimental recordings of the evolution of the pressure in the chambers.
Counter-urbanization and “return” to rurality? Implications of COVID-19 pandemic in Bulgaria
Authors: Pileva Desislava , Markov Ivaylo
Published: December 2021

The studies of the movements between the city and the village generally
(especially in Southeastern Europe) refer to analyses of the processes of
urbanization, and rarely focus on the so-called counter-urbanization.
However, over the past decade, the increasing environmental sensitivity of a
part of the urban population in active age, as well as the emergence of
social movements that promote a slow and environmentally friendly lifestyle
have intensified the anti-urban trends. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and
the measures introduced to limit its spread have created a new social
reality in which people continue their lives in ways that for many differ
from the previous routine, influencing also the mobility patterns. Hence,
the article aims at analyzing the urban-rural migration in Bulgaria within
the context of the current coronavirus crises. Our thesis is that the
pandemic enhances internal mobility in the medium term, since the physical
distancing motivates people to spend more time outdoors and away from the
urban environment. At the same time, some of them are able to seek spatial
freedom in rural areas due to the opportunity to work and study from
distance. In this respect, the ethnographic case studies presented in the
text show the peculiar impact the constantly alternating imposition and
lifting of certain restrictions has on the mobility decision-making and
lifestyle of individuals and entire families.
Does the fir-radio correlation evolve with redshift in irregular and disk galaxies?
Authors: Pavlovic M.S.
Published: December 2021

It was confirmed that there is a strong linear correlation between the thermal
far-infrared (FIR) and non-thermal radio emission of the star-forming
galaxies. Recent works based on this correlation over large redshifts have
shown that the correlation is evolving towards higher redshifts. In this
paper, possible physical causes that lead to the evolution of this
correlation are explored. One possible cause is that the interaction between
galaxies is responsible for this behavior. We used the morphology of
galaxies, as an indicator of past or present interactions, because it is
generally known that the irregular morphology of galaxies is a consequence
of collisions or close approaches. To test this hypothesis, a sample of
dusty star-forming galaxies up to a redshift z = 3:5 from the COSMOS field
has been selected. The sample has been divided, according to the
morphological type, into two subsamples (disk and irregular galaxies), and
the evolution of the correlation with redshift has been analyzed separately
for both of them. It was found that in both subsamples there is no
indication for the redshift evolution of the FIR-radio correlation. However,
it was also found that the mean correlation parameter, qFIR, is lower in
irregular galaxies, which may indicate that they can still affect the
evolution of the correlation if their abundance in the sample increases
towards higher redshifts. Disk galaxies, which statistically dominate the
sample, may be responsible for the lack of this evolution. On the other
hand, a fundamental problem with optically determined morphology is the dust
obscuration in massive galaxies at z > 2. To test the idea that interacting
galaxies are responsible for redshift evolution of the FIR-radio
correlation, it is, necessary to analyze a much larger sample for which the
morphology has been determined, taking into account the VLA and ALMA imaging
in addition to optical images, and which contains a higher fraction of
irregular galaxies. Finally, it was also found that the qFIR parameter and
its evolution are very sensitive to the radio spectral index above z > 1 and
that its misinterpretation and taking a constant value of ? = 0:7 may be
responsible for the observed evolution of the correlation.
Numerical investigations on solute transport and freckle formation during directional solidification of nickle-based superalloy ingot

Published: December 2021

In order to investigate the solute distribution and freckles formation during directional solidification of superalloy ingots, a mathematical model with coupled solution of flow field, solute and temperature distribution was developed. Mean-while, the reliability of this model was verified by the experimental and simulation results in relevant literatures. The 3-D directional solidification process of Ni-5.8 wt.% Al-15.2 wt.% Ta superalloy ingot was simulated, and then the dynamic growth of solute enrichment channels was demonstrated inside the ingot. Freckles formation under different cooling rates was studied, and the local segregation degree inside the ingot was obtained innovatively after solidification. The results show that the number of freckles formed at the top gradually decreases, and so do the degree of solute enrichment at these freckles with the increase of cooling rate. Moreover, the relative and volume-averaged segregation ratio is defined to describe the segregation degree inside the ingot. The span of relative segregation ratio for positive segregation is wider than that for negative segregation, but it accounts for less of total volume. As the cooling rate increases from 0.1 K/s to 1.0 K/s, the proportion of weak segregation (?20%~20%) increases significantly from 26% to 41%, so that the segregation degree is weakened in general. By analyzing the freckles formation and segregation degree inside the ingot, the numerical simulation results can provide a theoretical basis for optimizing the actual production process to suppress the freckle defects.

Published: December 2021

Due to a high strength-to-weight ratio, carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRPs) have become a standard in the lightweight industry, which results in the development of new machining and repairing methods. Specifically, CFRP with a thermoplastic matrix material is more attractive for many applications as a thermosetting matrix material. Thermoplastic matrix materials enable new joining processes due to their thermoformability and weldability. Currently, the repair process is mainly executed manually. In order to reduce repair costs, an automated, reliable, and fast process is needed. For the new laser-based repair process, first a scarf joint is prepared in a CFRP laminate consisting of a thermoplastic polyphenylene sulfide matrix material. To refill the scarf, a patch with the same matrix material and fiber setup as the original laminate is cut into shape and welded into the scarf area. In order to obtain a reliable and stable welding process resulting in high weld seam qualities, an automated controlled welding process is being used, which controls the laser power via the surface temperature, which is detected by a pyrometer. For the development of the welding process, the influence of the welding time and the surface temperature on the resulting weld seam quality were evaluated. For the analysis of the joining quality, overlap samples were welded and tested in order to determine the weld seam strength. In addition, cross sections were prepared and analyzed with a microscope. Finally, the measured results were correlated in order to determine a parameter set generating a high-quality weld seam.
Development of a High Integrity Interlayer Joining Technology for High Temperature Aerospace Applications
Authors:   , Johal Arandeep S.
Published: December 2021

The purpose of this PhD project was the continual development of the powder interlayer bonding technique for high temperature alloys, more specifically Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-6Mo. The application of this technology is for the potential use as a joining and repair technology on BLISKs. The requirement of extended life cycles for aerospace components such as this is important for the viability of technologies which aim to further improve efficiency within the gas turbine engine. The principle of interlayer bonding is on the utilisation of powder based interlayer which is used to improve bond integrity between two surfaces.Research during this thesis programme has resulted in the development of an interlayer bonding technique that allows for the evaluation of using an inert gas environment, instead of traditional vacuum systems, with a focus on how this technology would eventually be implemented on more complex geometries. The use of argon shielding gas provided the required environment to limit the oxidation of titanium at elevated temperature required for bonding. The results allowed for the mechanical performance of the interlayer bonds to be evaluated, along with the effects of using a post bond heat anneal, with the properties of interlayer bonded Ti-6246 showing only a slight reduction in room temperature properties in comparison to the base material.Preliminary research was also conducted on evaluating the possibility of joining dissimilar titanium alloys, with a focus on Ti-6246 and Ti-6242. With the right balance of the key bonding parameters it was possible to create low porosity bonds between the alloy systems with the tensile results again showing a small debit in strength.The final stages of the programme focused on the potential use of alternate interlayers, including different morphology of alloyed titanium powder as well as Commercially Pure powder and foil with potentially further avenues of research available to investigate.
Modeling Municipal Heritage Management
Authors: De Man Adriaan , Tavares João Tiago
Published: December 2021

The resources medium-sized municipalities allocate in the process of both creating and maintaining instruments for heritage management have increased in the last decades. There are first and foremost legal reasons for this, as European national laws translate societal concerns on the preservation and commodification of the past. Sustainable solutions may be achieved through the understanding of heritage assets, and their use in the support of responsible, data-driven choices. This paper analyses a case of local tangible heritage administration in Oliveira de Azeméis, Portugal.

Published: December 2021

In this work, we present the genesis, development, and results of a set of inclusive outreach activities developed through a puppet theatre play about the Neolithic. We present our methodology and techniques for outreach activities, showing the advantages of collaborative work and bottom-up approaches. The text also explains how the initiative was born and how the contacts for its realization consolidated. All the activities were carried out with the utmost care for the scientific content since it is essential that the public comes to understand all the archaeological information and differentiates it from the entertaining and dramatic elements.
