Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Obesity is a significant global public health concern. Primary prevention and health promotion to encourage positive health behaviour and health promotion address Obesity may be able to be delivered via mHealth, but evidence of apps improving health outcomes over sufficient timeframes to be clinically meaningful is limited. mHealth interventions for physical activity, healthy eating and weight loss typically prioritise intention as the primary driver of behaviour. This may limit their impact as intention does not consistently translate into behaviour.

OBJECTIVE

This review updates a previous systematic review on the effectiveness of mobile apps for health behaviour change while narrowing the scope to weight management interventions to enable a more focused analysis. Its primary objective is to investigate the effectiveness of mHealth apps in improving health behaviours with respect to physical activity and healthy eating, and to explore the inclusion of behavioural theories and behaviour change techniques and evidence for their effectiveness.

METHODS

This protocol follows the PRISMA-P (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Protocols) Checklist, and the review will be structured using the PRISMA 2020 statement. Nine databases (PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, APA PsychINFO, Cochrane Library, SportDiscus, SCOPUS, Web of Science and Science Direct) will be searched for studies reporting evaluation of the impact of mHealth intervention on weight loss, healthy eating or physical activity outcomes. EndNote 21 will be used for deduplication and initial screening, followed by manual title and abstract screening, and then full-text screening by two independent reviewers. Data regarding the studies, interventions, evaluation methods and outcomes will be extracted into a predetermined form. A meta-analysis will be conducted on eligible studies (reporting control group comparisons) to synthesise evidence of their effectiveness, and the remaining quantitative data will be descriptively analysed.

RESULTS

The review is expected to start in April 2025 and be submitted for publication by the end of 2025.

CONCLUSIONS

This review will synthesise evidence on the theoretical basis underpinning mHealth interventions for enhancing physical activity, healthy eating and weight loss and generate new insights into how particular Behaviour Change Techniques can best support intended outcomes. This will help guide the development of more impactful mobile-based interventions to support healthy behaviours that are better able to reduce risk factors for chronic health conditions.

The work shows the history (1992–2022) of chronological studies of the key archaeological site of the Lower Amur region - the multi-layer settlement of Khummi. The main attention is paid to dating the lower cultural layer containing materials from the Osipovskaya culture of the initial Neolithic. The work proposes the analysis of the sampling process, their study, obtaining radiocarbon dates; The issues of correlation of the obtained datings with the content of the cultural layer are discussed. A new page in the research of the Hummi settlement was the first four radiocarbon dates of the upper layer containing the remains of the Voznesenovskaya culture of the late Neolithic. Various carbon-containing materials (coal, organics in ceramics and carbon deposits on the surface of ceramics) were used as materials to determine the age of the layers. The results of the thirty years research were the determination of the time of the settlement and habitation of two groups of carriers of the Osipovskaya culture of the initial Neolithic: XIV–XIII thousand years ago (15,900–12,800 calendar years ago or 14,000–10,800 BC) and XI thousand years ago (12,400–12,200 calendar years ago or 10,500–10,200 BC). The appearance of these groups was established with a gap of approximately 1000 years. Dating of the upper cultural layer indicated the time of existence of the Voznesenovsky group of inhabitants: V–IV thousand years ago. (about 4,900–4,100 cal BP or 3,000–2,200 BC). The data obtained made it possible, to a certain extent, to reconstruct the events associated with the settlement of the bank of the channel in the early Holocene; the initial development of the fishing grounds of the Lake Hummi region, which gave rise to a new type of management and culture of sedentary fishermen. Dating of the upper cultural layer made it possible to clarify the time of stay of the Voznesenovtsy group, carriers of an established and developed culture of sedentary fishermen, on the bank of the channel.
Written Sources on the Implementation of B. B. Gorodovikov’s Project to Attract Soldiers Demobilized from the Soviet Army to Restore the Economy of the Kalmyk ASSR. 1962–1965.

Introduction. Materials on the resettlement and use of the labor potential of soldiers demobilized from the ranks of the Armed Forces of the USSR are a valuable source on the history of state policy in the first years after the return of the Kalmyk people from places of deportation and restoration of the Kalmyk ASSR. The purpose of the article is to familiarize the reader with the types of sources and their content, their analysis in terms of representativeness. The research material were office documents stored in the National Archive of the Republic of Kalmykia, memoirs of eyewitnesses and demobilized servicemen published in the collections of the documents and posted on social networks, publications of 1962–1963, the main newspaper, published in Russian, at that time in the republic was Sovetskaya Kalmykia. Results. The identified documents of authorities and personal origin, as well as mass media publications, contain valuable information on the reception, and accommodation of demobilized soldiers who arrived in 1962–1963. At the same time, they almost completely lack the information on the social and national composition of the demobilized, the geography of their places of origin, their units and places of service in Germany. The documents allow us to recreate the process of implementing the Gorodovikov’s project as a whole, but when analyzing them, it is necessary to take into account the ideological component of that time, the absence of any critical information. It is also important to note that the resettlement of demobilized soldiers to Kalmykia was voluntary and organized. The plan determined the need for the republic’s economy in the number of demobilized soldiers, economic sectors, specific areas and the organization of their reception.
Points of Departure
Authors: Rivard Thomas
Published: February 2025

This paper describes a project entitled Points of Departure, which forms part of a practice-led research investigation into how existing urban space might be both read and written using fiction, narrative and physical interventions. Through key artists and writers such as Poe, Greenaway, Carter, and Piranesi, and a description of an interrogative design process on Cockatoo Island in Sydney, this paper offers insights into how re-mappings, narrative insinuations and operative instruments might harness forces instead of producing forms. The project work was undertaken as both a creative exploration and a pedagogic experiment: five students undertaking an intensive design studio conducted initial exploratory work, my interpretations of which provided the narrative basis for the project. Through these implied fictions, coupled with my own cartographic explorations, I generated “portraits” of the Island (conflating myth and place), which in turn generated briefs for full size instruments made by the students. Finally, responding to these instruments, I created a series of architectural vehicles.
The processes employed in the project and described here did not aim to negate the existing spatial structures of Cockatoo Island but rather acted as an aleatoric, dissonant shifting of parameters to create dynamic relationships between place and its constituents. These imperfect reflections of place created a fluid field of multiple representations, an indeterminate space that prompted novel points of departure for spatial experiences. At the same time they invited an active individual response – a ‘wandering’. This wandering, in which reality is discursive and space and ritual are imperfectly conflated, provokes personal interpretations of space. These disconnected moments of understanding, this paper suggests, offer speculative re-interpretations acting on urban territories in pursuit of spatial openness, generative processes, and ultimately the means by which we can actively perform and participate in the city.

"Moving,,,,"
Authors: Preston Julieanna
Published: February 2025

“Moving stuff” was a performance in which mud and shipping pallets shifted repeatedly across a historic, geographic, cultural and political zone demarcated by the Whau River Estuary and Rosebank Road’s industrial sector, Auckland, New Zealand. It explored the complexities of notions of ecology and economy hinged to dynamic processes of material exchange and distribution. “Moving stuff” was also an extension of themes recurring throughout my creative work: labour as a time intensive, often excessively repetitive and seemingly monotonous act, and the female body, my body, an organ that is mine to use as only I can choose, as it is employed as a performative feminist tool. “Moving stuff” tested, therefore, both labour as an untaxed investment tied to capitalism, and labour as part of a feminist, embodied materialist critique. “Moving stuff” saw me toil for eight hours a day for two days, walk more than twenty kilometres, converse with more than 600 people, shift more than 160 litres of mud and 150 pallets and finally return the site to the state in which I found it. The only limit to this labour was my personal exhaustion.
This piece represents one a series of interconnected creative works oscillating around this original performance. Three of those works are presented in this journal: a video entitled Stratified Matter: Moving things again (2013), a recording of a presentation given in October 2013 at the Plenitude & Emptiness symposium, and finally this piece, a photo essay chronicling moments from the original performance. None of these subsequent works are adequate representations of the original, nor can they ever be, rather they are works in their own right. Here I ask the watcher/reader to interpret the scenes presented, or better to interpolate from the scenes presented. These pieces therefore represent an exercise focused on keeping the work moving, or as social scientist Bruno Latour advocates, keeping it in circulation.

Hot and Wet
Authors: L'Heureux Erik
Published: February 2025

The legacy of a temperate hegemony continues to influence how the tropical is perceived: largely as an exotic paradise or pestilence-ridden landscape. Architectural discourse has long deemed the equator a condition to be tempered; an atmospheric problem that requires a temperate fix. Contemporary architectural responses that centre on performance and efficiency improvements continue to purvey these prejudices as a foundation of their discourse, or, simply, to import temperate strategies as an atmospheric replacement to the equatorial. The work documented here investigates a theory of spatial depth and climatic gradient as key to developing buildings for the rapidly densifying urban equator. Through various architectural strategies—loosely categorized as deep envelopes—the core ingredients of space, material depth, and solidity are employed to produce architectural and atmospheric calibrations specific to the hot and wet equatorial city. Four architectural precedents traced from the 1930’s to the 1970’s demonstrate a range of architectural approaches that inform the author’s contemporary design practice. The knowledge gained through the precedents is then realised through four contemporary projects based in Singapore. In doing so, the work presented here seeks to expand the discourse on equatorial architecture, by returning agency to architectural practice via expressive and atmospheric formal languages and techniques relevant to the hot and wet equator.

Pause
Authors: Karami Sepideh
Published: February 2025

Pause is a technique for troubling routines, a tactical device for change capable of disturbing established flows. Where urban public spaces are concerned, a pause is a device, an act however tiny that unsettles the balance or order of those spaces, bringing about a moment of dysfunction in which an individual is liberated for an unspecified duration. While the dominant power is busy ‘fixing’ this pause, alternatives can emerge. In this paper taking on the voice of a fictional character, I investigate the ins and outs of pause through the case of the Standing Man of the Occupy Gezi movement in Turkey (2013). The pause of Standing Man is used as a concept to rethink the architectural profession. Drawing on Lefebvre theory of ‘moment’, pause is discussed as an event destined to fail. This inevitable failure of the pause makes the moment of failure intense and tragic. In this way duration matters, and one of the contributions that architectural practice could make in working with pause would be to work with this duration – and to expand it.
To study further how architecture can contribute to the idea of pause, a case of the unfinished building in Tehran during the 1979 revolution is discussed in relation to the Standing Man. The discussion is built up around the infrastructural nature of pauses, the importance of body politics to the idea of pause as a device and the post-production of space by means of occupation. In this regard, reflecting on the work of architecture, there might be a need for pause in the architectural profession itself, in its attitude to ‘completing’ the world.
The narrator in this paper, an architect who participated in the 1979 revolution, examines the pause of the Standing Man through an architectural lens while watching a video of the event on YouTube. The argument is built up through a lecture on the subject, a discussion with a group of architecture students, and through snippets of nostalgic daydreaming and introverted contemplation. The flashbacks, the lecture, the movie and the train of thoughts interrupt one another, creating moments of pause in the narration.

Anexact but Rigorous
Authors: Paredes Maldonado Miguel
Published: February 2025

Anexact but Rigorous offers an analytical redrawing of the plans of a series of recent projects by Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa. It describes generative geometrical operations common to these projects and, in turn, articulates a set of recurring formal families that characterises their work. Far from being ‘doodles’, these formal families constitute rigorously defined boundaries: they install themselves into space as closed, regional subsets of extended territorial surfaces that are incarnated in both the surface of the paper and the surface of the land. This closer inspection of Sejima and Nishizawa’s practices of territorial drawing reveals an underlying tension between Euclidean and non-Euclidean sensibilities, which, tapping into Derrida’s re-reading of Edmund Husserl’s The Origin of Geometry, can best be described as ‘anexact’. On the one hand, drawing is used to delimitate a region of the physical territory with extreme exactitude. On the other hand, the same delimitating operation articulates continuous closed curves, which in turn describe boundaries whose shapes cannot be defined through abstract, idealised geometries (i.e. circles, arcs or squares). With this productive tension in mind, the textual component of this contribution interrogates the development, intentions and outcomes of the aforementioned operations, using the theoretical writings of Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky (primarily concerning the nature of line and its spatial value) as its main supporting scaffold. In addition to this, the proposed contribution will speculate on the possibility of a hybrid practice of drawing that situates itself between the Euclidean and the non-Euclidean. In this speculation, Sejima and Nishizawa’s geometrical constructs are discussed through Deleuze and Guattari’s notion of ‘territory’, positing them as modes of spatial demarcation that are simultaneously anexact and rigorous.

The City as a School
Authors: Waghorn Kathy , Sargent Nick
Published: February 2025

‘The City as a School’ describes an urban pedagogy, an approach to design teaching and research that leaves the exclusivity of the school as a space apart, and the safety of a discrete studio-based project behind, to immerse students and teachers in the contingent space of the city. It describes two exemplars of this urban pedagogy, developed at the University of Auckland; the Lab and the Event Studio. These exemplars explore the city as an assemblage, and inquiry as a performative form of pedagogy that embraces the uncertainty that such an understanding of the city-as- assemblage brings forth. Four emerging ideas are explored: hybrid research forums, shared uncertainty, material politics and fragile democratisation. Borrowed from the field of urban studies—specifically from the work of Ignatio Farías and Anders Blok—these four ideas determine the dimensions in which urban pedagogy takes place. Considering design research teaching and learning as a kind of social labour set within these determined dimensions re-contours the subjectivity of teachers, students and communities as collaborators in design research projects and, we propose, prepares students for contemporary and future forms of expanded architectural practice.

Megalomaniacal Plans
Authors: Hurst Rachel
Published: February 2025

If there is one drawing indispensable to the description and production of architecture it is the plan. As it slices through space and substance, it allows us to describe and communicate the partis, construction and circulation of a building, all with the benefit of a bird’s-eye, or God-like elevated view that confirms our architectural authority over the design. As the preeminent tool to conceive and construct architecture, the plan has evolved highly codified techniques of representation, including the superimposition of transparent layers of drawings to show alternative arrangements, additional storeys, reflected surfaces or site conditions. Superimposition thus allows an extrusion from two- into three-dimensions. This paper explores how this tactic of superimposition can also operate as an extrusion into the fourth dimension of time, to reveal insights into the histories of both drawings and buildings.
Three projects support this premise, described in intertwining, parallel texts of theory and practice, and in an accompanying gallery of images. Contextualised against Eisenman’s defining use of ‘superpositioning’, and Rossi’s analogical collages, the projects align with contemporary drawing-thinking practices of polyvalency and indeterminism. They develop a practice of using archival plans as a primary source for research and creative speculation. The resulting works explore three concepts: the conventions and possible future of analogue architectural representation; the use of the archive for speculative practices; and the use of speculative practices to construct new knowledge.

The Analogical Surface
Authors: McEwan Cameron
Published: February 2025

This paper, and its accompanying suite of drawings and montages, approaches surface through Aldo Rossi’s notion of the analogical city. It does so in three ways: firstly, as the surface of the city, secondly as the surface of the drawing, and third as the analogical surface of thought between city and drawing. The first surface emphasises plan-based representation centred on an analytical gaze looking from above or outside to the city as a whole. The second is a quasi-perspectival and frontal surface with the analytical gaze looking at the city from the inside. The third surface is the conceptual hinge between those two positions. Through these three readings of surface I will discuss analogical strategies of formal, representational and disciplinary critique (including critique of scale, situation, form, space, figure and ground). I will discuss how the process of the critical removal of form creates an analogical space for projective possibility, and how the accumulation of form amounts to an erasure of form in Rossi’s work. The accompanying drawings and montages operate specifically in dialogue with Rossi’s analogical city, but function more broadly as a move toward developing the formal knowledge of architecture as a cultural and critical project.

Diesel Engine Performance and Molecular Interactions Among Binary Mixtures of Ionic Liquids and Cyclic Ethers
Authors: Arpna Dr
Published: February 2025

This research explores the impact of ionic liquids (ILs) and cyclic ethers (CEs) in diesel engine performance by
investigating their molecular interactions within binary mixtures. As fuel formulations evolve to meet stringent emission
regulations, it is essential to understand how additives like ionic liquids and cyclic ethers can improve diesel combustion
efficiency and reduce harmful emissions. The study focuses on the thermophysical properties, combustion behavior, and
performance metrics when binary mixtures of ILs and CEs are introduced into diesel engines. By investigating the molecularlevel interactions within these mixtures, the study identifies potential pathways for optimizing fuel properties, enhancing engine
efficiency, and minimizing environmental impact. Experimental data and molecular simulation techniques are employed to
elucidate the structure-property relationships of these mixtures.
Impact of colored shade netting on growth and physiological traits in avocado creole rootstock seedling
Authors: Bedoya-Ramírez Sara Isabel , Loaiza-Ruiz Ruby Alejandra , Barrera-Sánchez Carlos Felipe , Córdoba-Gaona Oscar de Jesús
Published: February 2025

Photoselective netting is well-known for filtering the intercepted solar radiation and affecting light quality. However, more information is needed about how horticulture manipulation of light quantity and quality affects avocado rootstock seedlings' growth and physiological traits.  Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of colored shading on the growth and development of avocado creole for planting production. A completely randomized experimental design with four treatments and five repetitions was used. The treatments included colored nets (red, black, white, and control – without a net). Net shading treatments affected leaf number, leaf area, leaf area index, rootstock diameter and length, dry matter, Dickson quality index, and all gas exchange variables. In contrast, specific leaf area and root length were not affected by the colored net. The red net generally increased the rootstock diameter and length, Dickson quality index, and net photosynthesis and water use efficiency more than the black, white net, and full sunlight growth conditions. This study reveals that changing the light intensity allows rootstock growth and physiological performance to be manipulated using different colored shade nets.

Published: February 2025

There is growing interest in large-scale breeding of black soldier fly (BSF) larvae due to their ability to consume a wide variety of organic materials. This study aimed to standardize the key developmental phases of Hermetia illucens within a rearing unit under marginal conditions (2160 meters above sea level; Temperature 14 °C  average annual precipitation of 1800 mm) in an Andean Temperate Forest ecosystem. The primary objective was to optimize the production of 5-day-old larvae. A subdivided plot design was employed, incorporating two cage types, three attractants types, two glasses and three egg-laying sites, with three replicates for each combination, resulting in a total of 108 experimental units. The following factors were compared: cage type (Zurbrügg type cage and a cage proposed by the University of Caldas), attractant (organic waste, fermented waste, and a mixture containing 100 grams of dead black soldier fly adults), drinkers (cotton and sponge) and egg-laying sites (three different dimensions (A: 45 cm x 12 cm x 7 cm, B: 24 cm x 7 cm x 3 cm, and C: 12 cm x 1.2 cm x 0.5 cm)The combination of the University of Caldas cage, sponge drinkers, and the type C attractant yielded the most promising results in terms of egg weight and projected larval population size under the specific marginal conditions of the study area. The findings of this study will help to promote strategies to transform organic waste using BSF larvae in marginal conditions.

Published: February 2025

In this investigation, we evaluate the effect of Bacillus spp. and vermicompost on the growth of cherry tomato, Solanum lycopersicum L., fruits. We used four treatments: 1. Vermicompost (112 g). 2. Vermicompost (112 g) in combination with the consortium of bacteria of the genus Bacillus (B. subtilis, B. thuringiensis var. kurstaki, B. pumilus, and B. amyloliquefaciens) at a concentration of 1x108 colony forming units (CFU)/mL and in a dosasge of 3 mL/L of water. 3. The consortium of bacteria of the genus Bacillus at the concentration and dose mentioned and, 4. Control (untreated soil). Our experimental design was in the completely randomized design with three replications. We used the tomato fruit's weight, horizontal diameter, and vertical diameter as variable responses. Significant differences between treatments were assessed with one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and classified with Tukey's honestly significant difference (HSD) test. The assumptions of normality, homogeneity of variations, and data independence were verified. The Wilcoxon test was used to assess differences in the chemical composition of the fruits of each treatment. The results showed that the highest values of average fruit weight, 15.21 g and 12.99 g, were statistically equivalent obtained with T2 and T3; correspondingly compared to 11.86 g obtained in the control. There were no statistical differences between treatments in the vertical and horizontal diameter. It is concluded that the application of vermicompost in combination with the Bacillus consortium (T2); or individually (T3), significantly increases fruit weight and improves the nutritional value (N, P, K, Ca, S, Mg, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, B, and Na).

This article delves into the sociocultural determinants driving local development, focusing on coffee-growing communities in southwestern Colombia. Through interviews, focus groups, and participant observation, a detailed analysis is conducted in a region globally recognized for its cultural and environmental significance. The findings highlight the benefits of traditional agroecological systems, which contribute to environmental conservation, economic development, and community strengthening. Based on our findings, we can conclude that agroecology and cultural identity are key elements for the sustainability of the coffee cultural landscape, reinforcing the relevance of collaboration among local actors and the design of public policies focused on these practices.
The impact of strategy of training and competence on job performance: Mediating role of self-efficacy
Authors: Handayati Ratna , Riani Asri Laksmi , Sunaryo Sinto , Hendarsjah Hidajat
Published: February 2025

The Family Hope Program (Program Keluarga Harapan — PKH) was initiated by the Indonesian government to reduce poverty. The workload of PKH facilitators is high, resulting in a decrease in performance in several regions in Indonesia (Kafriliasari & Zaily, 2019). This raises the question of whether the training provided and competence had an effect on their performance. Using a sample of 320 respondents from the Gerbangkertosusila district facilitator, and through the application of SEM (Hair et al., 2019), this study examines the impact of training and competence on job performance and whether self-efficacy mediates the effect between them. The results found that training had no effect on performance because the coaching situation was inadequate. Competence affects performance because competence is needed in the field of problem-solving. Self-efficacy fully mediates both the effect of training and competence on performance. The implication is that the relevant organization or agency must pay attention to resources for the success of the state program.
Das Gemeinwesen, eine definitorische Annäherung
Authors: Blum Christian
Published: February 2025

Dieser Aufsatz unternimmt eine definitorische Annäherung an den Begriff des Gemeinwesens, um den sozialen Referenzpunkt gemeinwohlorientierter Politikgestaltung aufzuklären. In Anlehnung an John Dewey, Ferdinand Tönnies und Georg W. F. Hegel wird für ein sozial-holistisches Begriffsverständnis argumentiert: Das Gemeinwesen ist demnach ein autonomer moralischer Akteur, der aus menschlichen Personen zusammengesetzt ist, die ihre soziopolitischen Kooperationsbeziehungen nicht nur verstehen, sondern auch aktiv bejahen, über ein geteiltes Weltbild („common sense“) verfügen und mit Hervorbringung und Schutz gemeinschaftlicher Güter befasst sind. Ein so verstandenes Gemeinwesen ist, so die These, gleichsam ein Ideal des politischen Zusammenlebens und -wirkens, das angesichts aktueller Polarisierungs- und Entfremdungsphänomene der modernen Demokratien Orientierung und Sinnstiftung bietet.
Temporale Vulnerabilität
Authors: Rehmann-Sutter Christoph
Published: February 2025

Die australische Philosophin Janna Thompson (1942 – 2022) hat in einer Reihe von Schriften eine politische Ethik der intergenerationellen Gerechtigkeit entwickelt. Sie verbindet die historische Verantwortung Gegenwärtiger gegenüber dem Unrecht früherer Generationen mit der Verantwortung Gegenwärtiger für das Unrecht an den Noch-nicht-Geborenen. Darin findet sich eine Argumentation zur Begründung der intergenerationellen Sorge und Verantwortung, die von der Verletzbarkeit und Abhängigkeit in intergenerationellen Praktiken ausgeht. Sie kritisiert die Vorstellung von zukünftigen Generationen als mit uns unverbundene, noch nicht existierende Individuen und beschreibt die Gesellschaft stattdessen als ein diachrones Kontinuum von Angehörigen einander überlappender, miteinander verbundener Generationen, die füreinander Verantwortung tragen und voneinander abhängig sind.
In diesem Beitrag wird der Versuch unternommen, Thompsons Argument für „temporale Vulnerabilität“, d.h. zur Begründung einer Verantwortung für das Wohl ungeborener Zukünftiger, im klimaethischen Kontext zu rekonstruieren. Im Zentrum stehen nicht nur die Handlungen oder Entscheidungen, die Normen unterstehen, oder die Rechte Zukünftiger, sondern soziale Praktiken, die, indem sie sich kollektiv fortsetzen, von der Zukunft her eine materiale Normativität in der Gegenwart enthalten. Die Pflichten Gegenwärtiger können erkannt werden, wenn geprüft wird, ob diese Praktiken Zukünftigen gegenüber rechtfertigbar sind. Es handelt sich um Pflichten der sorgenden Verantwortung, die sich aus den intergenerationellen Beziehungen ergeben.
Dieses Argument wird mit zwei Fragen konfrontiert: 1) Hängt die Gültigkeit des Arguments wie Thompson andeutet, von vertragstheoretischen Vorannahmen ab? 2) Wie stark ist die normative Bindungskraft, die von ihrem Argument ausgeht und wie funktioniert diese Bindung?
Thompson bietet einen diachronen Ansatz zur intergenerationellen Gerechtigkeit, der sowohl rückwärts in die Vergangenheit als auch vorwärts in die Zukunft blickt, zu einem differenzierten Verständnis der Verantwortung der gegenwärtigen Generation führt, die in Strukturen lebt, die von den Vorgängergenerationen bereits errichtet wurden. Ihre Verantwortung kann spezifiziert werden auf das, was in ihrer Macht steht zu tun, um eine schädliche Dynamik aufzuhalten.

The qualitative characteristics of T-shirts made of 100% cotton and 95%
cotton and 5% elastane were investigated before and after 20, 40 and 60
cycles of washing with commercial detergents. The results of the
experimental tests were approximated by a nonlinear model of data fitting,
which is in the form of a 9th degree polynomial. This defines the
deformation characteristics, which can be used to predict the changes that
occur within the structure of the knitwear during stress. The results
obtained make it possible to pre-design the intensities of forces to which
polo shirts can be subjected without compromising their quality. The results
also state that T-shirts with elastane have 12% higher values of bursting
strength and higher values of forces at the limit of elasticity compared to
pure cotton T-shirts. Cotton T-shirts have 21% higher air permeability and
10% higher water vapor permeability. Cotton T-shirts with elastane have a
higher surface mass and stitch density per cm-2 compared to pure cotton
T-shirts. Paper show the qualitative changes of polo shirts during the
six-month maintenance cycle and their deformation characteristics. These
findings offer valuable insights into the longevity of polo shirts,
potentially guiding manufacturers in designing more durable work uniforms.
Event-based vision in laser welding: An approach for process monitoring
Authors: Dold Patricia M. , Nadkarni Praveen , Boley Meiko , Schorb Valentin , Wu Lili , Steinberg Fabian , Burggräf Peter , Mikut Ralf
Published: February 2025

Event cameras differ from conventional frame cameras: Rather than capturing images at a fixed rate, they asynchronously measure pixelwise brightness changes and stream an event sequence that includes time, location, and sign of the brightness changes. Event cameras provide attractive properties such as high temporal resolution and latency (both in the order of ms), very high dynamic range (120 dB), and low power consumptions because no routine operation needs to be recorded. Hence, event cameras have been successfully used, for instance, for object tracking, pose estimation, or image deblurring. Common in-process sensors for process monitoring in laser welding are photodiodes or high-speed frame cameras. Due to the described advantages of event cameras compared to these sensors, this paper for the first time investigates the potential of event cameras in laser welding. We present different promising ways to process the unconventional asynchronous output of event cameras for process monitoring, including time-series representations, as well as image representations. Our laser welding experiments show clear differences for different production scenarios in those event representations. Additionally, we propose a machine learning pipeline for the automatic detection of production errors with event camera.

On the example of AS “Proryv”, the two-stage expert system of fuzzy logical inference of Mamdani type was developed, which allows real-time monitoring the occurrence, development and prevention of an emergency situation in the process of continuous casting, resulting from a solid phase fracture of billet forming early in the process.
Типологические характеристики формы пассива в турецком и английском языках
Authors: Дубровина М.Э.
Published: February 2025

Настоящее исследование посвящено анализу форм страдательного залога в современном турецком и английском языках. Исследование проводится в рамках сопоставительного типологического подхода, когда особенности значений и сферы функционирования этих форм сравниваются друг с другом с целью выяснения общих и отличных черт. В результате становится понятно, что, несмотря на различный тип языков и различный план выражения, турецкий и английский пассив имеют много схожего в речевом употреблении: обе формы являются продуктивным средством, имеют два значения (собственно-страдательное и неопределенно-личное) и могут употребляться в предложениях как с выраженным агенсом, так и без него.

This study focuses on the analysis of the passive voice forms in the modern Turkish and English languages. The research is carried out within the framework of a comparative typological approach, when the meanings and functioning of these forms are compared with each other in order to clarify common and distinct features. As a result, it becomes clear that despite the different type of languages and different plane of expression, the Turkish and English passive have many similarities in speech usage. Both forms are productive, have two meanings: passive and indefinite-personal, and can be used in sentences with or without an expressed agent.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of animated videos in enhancing science learning in elementary schools through a systematic literature review. Employing the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, data were sourced from Google Scholar, focusing on articles published between 2019 and 2023. The review was conducted in five stages. In the initial search using the keyword "use of animated videos," 1,280 documents were identified. Refining the search by limiting the publication years yielded 227 documents, while adding the keyword "science learning" identified 246 documents. Further narrowing with the keyword "primary school" produced 197 documents. Finally, the dataset was filtered based on alignment with the research theme. The findings reveal that animated videos are highly effective in enhancing science learning outcomes in elementary schools. These results emphasize the importance of integrating engaging instructional media, such as animated videos, to facilitate effective communication of science concepts. Educators are encouraged to incorporate such tools to create more interactive and impactful learning experiences in science education.
