Innovative Method in Recycling Wind Turbine Blades: Mini Review
Authors: Mamanpush Seyed Hossein
Published: July 2022

During the past decades many researchers focused on finding a solution for the wind turbine blades that faced end of life but the main challenge for all the previous research was lack of acceptable pathway that was viable economically. Because these blades currently considered as a waste, spending lots of energy and chemical material for them is not an acceptable solution, that is why we suggest an innovative method for solving this problem by considering mechanically recycled wind turbine blades (rWTBs) as a feedstock for making second generation composites.
Analysis of Hybrid Power Train System Based on Degree of Freedom
Authors: Zhao Kun
Published: July 2022

The hybrid power train is one of the most important technologies that have been developed to satisfy the challenging fuel economy and emission standards. A suitable configuration of hybrid power train should not only meet the requirements of vehicle kinematics and dynamics, but also meet the requirement of fuel economy and emission. For this purpose, a hybrid power train system should contain multiple power sources so that the speed and torque of the power sources can be properly distributed to achieve high system efficiency. To achieve optimal distribution of speed and torque, the system should have more speed DOF and torque DOF. Therefore, the hybrid power train system can be analyzed based on the viewpoint of degrees of freedom.
Attitudes Toward COVID-19 Vaccination Among Athletic Trainers in Early 2021
Authors: Cage SA
Published: July 2022

Following the widespread transmission of the novel coronavirus responsible for COVID-19, the first COVID-19 vaccine received emergency use authorization in December 2020. The purpose of this study is to describe the attitudes toward available COVID-19 vaccines among athletic trainers. 258 certified athletic trainers (age=43±12 years; years of certified experience=19±12 years) completed an electronic survey via email that collected data on demographics, face mask usage, and attitudes toward available COVID-19 vaccines. Data were downloaded and analyzed using a commercially available statistics package (SPSS Statistics Version 26, IBM, Armonk, NY). Measures of central tendency (means, standard deviations, frequencies) were calculated for all survey items. The majority of respondents reported that they were comfortable with the current level of authorization for available COVID-19 vaccines. Most athletic trainers stated that they would receive a COVID-19 vaccination when it was available, but that they would rather it be a voluntary choice rather than mandated by an employer or government body. The majority of athletic trainers reported personal, household, and vulnerable population safety as the primary considerations for receiving a COVID-19 vaccination. In general, these factors were more important to participants than were public perception or concerns over infringements of personal liberties. Given that athletic trainers continue to work in day-to-day patient care, it is important to consider the best means of educating athletic trainers on the potential benefits of COVID-19 vaccinations.
Safety of Applying Cupping Therapy to Treat Musculoskeletal Pathologies
Authors: Cage SA
Published: July 2022

Cupping therapy is becoming a popular therapeutic modality employed by athletic trainers and other allied healthcare professionals. It uses negative pressure to reduce pain, increase blood flow, and improve muscle function. Like many other therapeutic interventions, adverse effects related to cupping therapy treatment can occur. The majority of these effects-particularly muscle soreness-are mild and similar to those encountered in other treatments. While severe adverse events following treatment with cupping therapy have been reported, these events are rare and can often be explained by poor clinician education or flawed methodology. The risks associated with cupping therapy are comparable to, and sometimes fewer than, those associated with other contemporary therapeutic interventions. Proper clinician education, methodology, patient education, and patient communication are crucial when attempting to mitigate the risk of adverse effects related to cupping therapy.

Some ants are fated to be lazy
Authors: Mindsponge AISDL
Published: July 2022

Ants are highly successful insects, and they have been on Earth since the time of dinosaurs (about 150 million years ago). They adapt very well to a wide variety of environments, including artificial ones. The impressive complexity and efficiency of ant society have been forged by natural evolution, and we often think of them as hard-working little guys dedicating everything to their colonies. Thus, it is surprising to find out that there is a considerable number of inactive workers within the colony of such social insects. ***** For more information, please visit: https://mindsponge.info/posts/30 *****
The Nonverbal Spread of Group Prejudice and Preliminary Evidence of Strategies to Mitigate Prejudice Transmission
Authors: Skinner-Dorkenoo Allison Louise , Sánchez Sirenia
Published: July 2022

Adults can acquire attitudes toward individuals from exposure to biased nonverbal communication, the current research examined whether group prejudices can also be acquired in this way. Two studies confirmed that adults can acquire group prejudices from biased nonverbal signals. Subsequent studies examined the impact of a series of between-subjects experimental approaches designed to limit the spread of group prejudice. Heightening nonverbal bias awareness increased prejudice acquisition, whereas providing positive information about the nonverbally disfavored group reversed biases. Yet, when nonverbal biases were framed as unjust, participants showed no evidence of acquiring group prejudices. Current findings confirm that group prejudices can be spread through nonverbal communication, and provide initial evidence of strategies that could be effective in limiting the nonverbal spread of prejudice.

Strategic ambiguity in the social sciences
Authors: Frankenhuis Willem , Panchanathan Karthik , Smaldino Paul E.
Published: July 2022

In the wake of the replication crisis, there have been calls to increase the clarity and precision of theory in the social sciences. Here, we argue that the effects of these calls may be limited due to systematic and structural factors, and focus our attention on incentives favoring ambiguous theory. Intentionally or not, scientists can exploit theoretical ambiguities to make support for a claim appear stronger than is warranted. Practices include ‘theory stretching’, interpreting an ambiguous claim more expansively to absorb data outside of the scope of the original claim, and ‘post-hoc precision’, interpreting an ambiguous claim more narrowly so it appears more precisely aligned with the data. These practices lead to the overestimation of evidence for the original claim and create the appearance of consistent support and progressive research programs, which may in turn be rewarded by journals, funding agencies, and hiring committees. Selection for ambiguous research can occur outside of scientists’ awareness and even when scientists act in good faith. We supplement our verbal argument with a simple mathematical model. Although ambiguity might be inevitable or even useful in the early stages of theory construction, scientists should aim for increased clarity as knowledge advances. Science benefits from transparently communicating about known ambiguities. To attain transparency about ambiguity, we provide a set of recommendations for authors, reviewers, and journals. We conclude with suggestions for research on how scientists use strategic ambiguity to advance their careers and on the ways in which norms, incentives, and practices favor strategic ambiguity.
Middle Miocene (Serravallian) wetland development on the northwest edge of Europe based on palynological analysis of the uppermost Brassington Formation of Derbyshire, United Kingdom
Authors: McCoy Jessica , Barrass-Barker Tabitha , Hocking Emma , O’Keefe Jennifer , Riding James , Pound Matthew
Published: July 2022

The Middle Miocene was a warmer and wetter interval than present-day (Steinthorsdottir et al., 2021). In the UK, the most extensive Middle Miocene deposit is the Serravallian Kenslow Member of the Brassington Formation as exposed at Bees Nest Pit, near Brassington, Derbyshire, UK. While known to contain a diverse palynological and palaeobotanical record, the stratigraphical distribution of these fossils has not been studied in detail, thus biome variations through a most important proxy period are very poorly understood. This important unit has never been the subject of a detailed, multi-sample study. Here we present a 58-sample record covering 133 cm of clay and lignite. The results comprise the first reconstruction of a bog succession in the Miocene palaeobotanical record of the UK. A predominant warm-temperate and mixed mesophytic forest biome was present. Within this forest, the local wetland developed in response to environmental changes that were not related to any major climatic shift. This wetland development produced a relatively open shrub and reed-dominated mire which produced the lignite-precursor peat. The limited extent of the lignite lentil and its position adjacent to a preserved fallen tree suggests that the peat was deposited in a tree throw, although it is not possible to rule out a slightly deeper stagnant pond within the overall wetland environment.
Knowledge Spillover, Trust, Effort, and Error Exposure in Peer-Assisted Learning
Authors: Juvina Ion , Carson Jarean , Menke Preston , Crowe Peter
Published: July 2022

Peer-assisted learning has the potential to improve learning in academic settings and beyond. However, the cognitive and motivational mechanisms of learning through interaction with other learners are not fully understood. Here we present an empirical study in which we compare a peer-assisted learning condition with two individual learning conditions. The empirical findings suggest that both positive and negative peer effects occurred. On the positive side, learners placed in a peer-assisted learning condition allocated more time to practice and they benefited from selectively interacting with the more knowledgeable peers. On the negative side, error exposure and increased cognitive load may have hindered learning in the peer-assisted learning condition. A computational cognitive model developed in the ACT-R cognitive architecture is presented and used to explain the mechanisms of knowledge spillover, trust, and error exposure. This research has implications for designing collaborative learning protocols to increase human collective intelligence and designing artificial intelligence systems that can support human-machine teaming.
Evaluating the Effectiveness of Physical Exercise in Improving Standardized Test Scores Through Attention Indices
Authors: Huang Jeffrey , Huang Hubert , Chang Benjamin , Ho Jocelyn
Published: July 2022

In the US, standardized tests have risen in prevalence, extending their importance from education placement to employment. Attention is crucial to improving testing performance. Past studies have established that acute, coordinative, aerobic exercise improves attention, which is measured by the D2 Attention Test, emotional analysis, reading time, and eye movement tracking. No studies have drawn connections between physical exercise’s quantifiable improvement in attention to improvements in standardized tests; therefore, this study would attempt to do so. This study defines attention to be positively related to reading speed and negatively related to the number of eye drifts. High school students were selected to read and answer two reading passages from an SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) exam, before and after a short 80% intensity run. Their reading times, facial video, and test scores were recorded. Dlib plots the facial landmark and OpenCV tracks the movement of the pupil. Through paired-samples t-tests, this study found out that after exercise, subjects displayed increased reading speed and fewer eye drifts, coupled with increased mean scores. Thus, this study demonstrated that running, as an acute, coordinative, aerobic exercise, helps increase the testing performance of the SAT reading section by measuring attention. Future research could focus on including head movement as an attention index, replicate the experiment on different standardized tests or exercises, and conduct natural experiments to better simulate real-life conditions to increase applicability.
A comparison of political violence by left-wing, right-wing and Islamist extremists in the United States and the world
Authors: Jasko Katarzyna , LaFree Gary , Piazza James A. , Becker Michael H
Published: July 2022

Although political violence has been perpetrated on behalf of a wide range of political ideologies it is unclear whether there are systematic differences between ideologies in the use of violence to pursue a political cause. Prior research on this topic is scarce and mostly restricted to self-reported measures or less extreme forms of political aggression. Moreover, it has generally focused on respondents in western countries and has been limited to either comparisons of the supporters of left-wing and right-wing causes or examinations of only Islamist extremism. In this research we address these gaps by comparing the use of political violence by left-wing, right-wing, and Islamist extremists in the United States and worldwide using two unique datasets that cover real-world examples of politically motivated, violent behaviors. Across both datasets, we find that radical acts perpetrated by individuals associated with left-wing causes are less likely to be violent. In the United States we found no difference between the level of violence perpetrated by right-wing and Islamist extremists. However, differences in violence emerged on the global level with Islamist extremists being more likely than right-wing extremists to engage in more violent acts.
Evaluation of the Sunrise Coursebook Series by Teachers in the Sulaymaniyah Governorate in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq
Authors: Saeed Kochar Ali
Published: July 2022

This study aims to determine whether the Sunrise coursebooks for Grades seven, eight, and nine fulfil the Kurdistan Ministry of Education requirements and examine teachers’ perceptions about different aspects of the coursebook. The research also attempts to reveal potential weaknesses of these textbook levels to help the instructor, superiors, and ministry of education to improve the weaknesses. A questionnaire designed by Litz (2005) was used in the study. The questionnaire examines several elements, such as the practical considerations of layout and design, activities, skills and language type, in addition to subject matter and content. The data of this study was collected from teachers from the Sulaymaniyah Governorate in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq(KRI) who have used or are using the Sunrise coursebook at Grades seven, eight, and nine. The findings of this study revealed that the Sunrise coursebooks are suitable for these three levels and that the teachers were satisfied with the textbooks. The outcome of this study provides useful feedback to teachers who use Sunrise and helps them to know more about the strengths and weaknesses of Sunrise. It helps them to see which element of Sunrise is better than others and which requires their improvement.

Real Property Supremacy: Manufactured housing and the limits of inclusion through finance
Authors: Kear Mark , Meyer Dugan , Wilder Margaret O
Published: July 2022

Manufactured housing (MH) communities have emerged as a high-profile and lucrative asset class. Despite this, it is costly or impossible to get loans to buy homes in most mobile home parks. This article explores this ostensible contradiction—that whereas MH parks are desirable and liquid assets, the individual homes that compose them are not. We explore the implications of this contradiction for housing justice as well as financial and environmental vulnerability. We argue that the marginality of MH in U.S. housing markets is rooted in the privileging of real property above personal property. We describe the origins and impacts of this “real property supremacy” in two parts. In the first, we outline the macro-historical context of real property supremacy using a variety of sources, including interviews with federal officials and industry experts as well as document analysis. In the second, we connect this macro context to its micro consequences, drawing on interviews with MH residents, nonprofit and social-service practitioners, and park managers and owners in Tucson, Arizona. We conclude that state-supported property hierarchies create conditions where constrained housing options, semiformal financial practices, and unique tenure forms combine to (re)produce unique and intersecting forms of vulnerability in MH communities.

Effective government services rely on accurate population numbers to allocate resources. In Colombia and globally, census enumeration is challenging in remote regions and where armed conflict is occurring. During census preparations, the Colombian National Administrative Department of Statistics conducted social cartography workshops where community representatives estimated numbers of dwellings and people throughout their regions. We repurposed this information combining it with remotely-sensed buildings and other geospatial data. We developed hierarchical Bayesian models to estimate building counts and population sizes, trained using nearby full-coverage census enumerations, and assessed using 10-fold cross-validation. We compared models to assess the relative contribution of community knowledge, remotely-sensed buildings, and their combination to model fit. The “community” model was unbiased but imprecise; the “satellite” model was more precise but biased; the “combination” model had the best overall accuracy. Results reaffirmed the power of remotely-sensed buildings for population estimation and highlighted the value of incorporating local knowledge.
Word Equivalence: An Investigation of Fiction Translation from English to Kurdish Between 2003 and 2021
Authors: Mahmood Karzan Aziz , Ahmed Eman Saleem
Published: July 2022

The current study investigates word equivalence in selecting twenty works of fiction that have been translated from English into Kurdish by twenty different translators from 2003 to 2021. The year 2003 is historic for the Kurdistan region. The Kurdish language was marginalized under Saddam Hussein’s regime. Since 2003, the Kurds in Iraqi Kurdistan have established several institutions and associations ranging from Kurdish book publishing houses, printing houses, and research centres, including tens of independent writers and translators with their intellectual individual and group projects. These developments have ultimately progressed the Kurdish vernacular language. By employing Newmark’s (1988) paradigm of translation procedures, the paper shows how Kurdish translators translate words. Newmark introduced sixteen translation procedures ranging from transference, naturalization, cultural equivalent, functional equivalent couplet and notes. By examining and verifying used facts and examples derived from the selected texts, this research discovers that the process of translating from English to Kurdish faces the barrier of word-level non-equivalence. Therefore, the paper also identifies the techniques of through translation, transference and couplet as most commonly employed in the studied corpus, with functional and cultural equivalence strategies used less frequently in translation by Kurdish fiction translators. Thus, the research examines Kurdish word equivalence barriers and the significance of translation studies.
The Syntactic Structure of Question Formation of the Saudi EFL Learners
Authors: Alqahtani Wejdan Saleh
Published: July 2022

English Question Formation in the Saudi context has received very little attention. To the best of our knowledge, there are two studies conducted in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA): one looked at the difficulties Saudi students faced when constructing English questions with specific regard to wh and yes/no questions, and the primary problems associated with their difficulties (Al-Hassaani, 2016). Another study analyzed the errors Saudi EFL learners made when forming wh questions and the reasons behind making them (Addaibani, 2017). Therefore, this current study is seen as the first study that aims to analyze Saudi students’ errors in constructing tag questions (canonical tag questions), wh questions, and yes/ no questions at King Khalid University (KKU). It found out the reasons behind making such errors and the difficulties that they faced when forming these English question types. For achieving this study’s aims, a mixed-method research approach was employed, and data were collected from grammatical tests and interviews (open-ended interviews). Saudi students’ errors were examined by using the grammatical test in which they were required to generate wh, yes/no, and canonical tag questions. Further, to examine Saudi students’ difficulties and causes of making errors, the researcher conducted open-ended interviews. After reaching out to the findings of this study, it showed disagreement with similar previous studies. First, the most difficult English type in terms of formation was wh questions, including the highest number of errors in the “Wrong Wh Question Word” category. Then tag questions (canonical tag questions) came to be in the second rank of difficulty, and “Mis-formation Alternating Forms” was the highest category of errors. Lastly, yes/no questions were the easiest ones for Saudi EFL learners, and the common type was the “Wrong Auxiliary” category. This current study has also revealed that some of the students’ errors were due to lack of practice and community as affected reasons, and intensive curriculum and unqualified teachers as less affected reasons.
Students’ Perceptions of the Use and Efficacy of Error Correction Symbols on Written Drafts: A Study at the University of Technology and Applied Sciences Ibra, Oman

The present quantitative research study investigates students’ perceptions of the use and efficacy of error correction symbols on written drafts. The study is significant because it has pedagogical implications for teachers, students, and policymakers. It answers the pertinent research question “whether the use of error correction symbols on students’ written drafts is helpful for students in improving their writing accuracy or not”. A structured questionnaire was distributed to students (N=396) via Moodle LMS to collect data. Study participants were General Foundation Program students in the English Language Centre of the University of Technology and Applied Sciences-Ibra, Sultanate of Oman. The findings of this study suggest that the students found the use of error correction symbols on their written drafts practical, helpful, and effective in improving their writing accuracy. Nevertheless, a similar research study needs to be conducted in other higher educational institutions in Oman to sustain the policy directions.
Styles of Valuation: Algorithms and Agency in High- throughput Bioscience
Authors: Lee Francis , Helgesson Claes-Fredrik
Published: July 2022

In science and technology studies today, there is a troubling tendency to portray actors in the biosciences as “cultural dopes” and technology as having monolithic qualities with predetermined outcomes. To remedy this analytical impasse, this article introduces the concept styles of valuation to analyze how actors struggle with valuing technology in practice. Empirically, this article examines how actors in a bioscientific laboratory struggle with valuing the properties and qualities of algorithms in a high-throughput setting and identifies the copresence of several different styles. The ques- tion that the actors struggle with is what different configurations of algo- rithms, devices, and humans are “good bioscience,” that is, what do the actors perform as a good distribution of agency between algorithms and humans? A key finding is that algorithms, robots, and humans are valued in multiple ways in the same setting. For the actors, it is not apparent which configuration of agency and devices is more authoritative nor is it obvious which skills and functions should be redistributed to the algorithms. Thus, rather than tying algorithms to one set of values, such as “speed,” “precision,” or “automation,” this article demonstrates the broad utility of attending to the multivalence of algorithms and technology in practice.
