Editorial REUGRA (2019) Vol. 26
Authors: Pichardo Martínez María del Carmen
Published: April 2022

REUGRA es una revista que pretende dar a conocer diferentes hallazgos y/o profundizar en temáticas actuales, relacionadas con las ciencias de la educación, desde diferentes perspectivas y disciplinas. Este número pone de manifiesto que la educación es un ámbito de investigación interdisciplinar que tiene como principal objetivo la mejora de los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje, en los múltiples contextos donde estos se desarrollan. En esta línea, se presentan algunos estudios de profundización teórica en temas tan relevantes como el papel de la educación en la justicia de menores, no solo atendiendo a su función dentro de una justicia reparadora, sino a su poder preventivo. Igualmente, en uno de los artículos se reflexiona sobre la utilidad del uso de bibliografía adecuada para las clases de lengua y literatura, como un recurso importante. También, dentro del ámbito de la literatura, se incluyen dos trabajos que nos llevan a reflexionar sobre el papel de la selección de textos, o la visibilidad de la producción literaria femenina, como promotores de la igualdad y la educación en valores.Por otra parte, el número incluye interesantes experiencias que se podrían enmarcar dentro de la investigación-acción. Se presentan, por ejemplo, intervenciones didácticas innovadoras para la mejora de las habilidades de lectura y escritura, o la segunda lengua extranjera. Igualmente, se analiza la importancia de fomentar la motivación para el mantenimiento y el fortalecimiento de la lengua de herencia u origen, en una experiencia destinada a alumnado procedente de la cultura japonesa, dentro de familias internalizadas.Además de los artículos de revisión teórica y de análisis sobre metodologías didácticas, se incluyen algunos estudios descriptivos que trabajan diversas temáticas que tienen un elevado interés en el contexto educativo. Por ejemplo, encontramos un estudio sobre la inteligencia emocional en el alumnado de Primaria y Secundaria, entendida como un recurso fundamental que puede ayudar a prevenir muchos de los problemas de comportamiento que actualmente existen en los contextos educativos, tanto formales como informales. Asimismo, se incorpora al número de la revista un trabajo de carácter cualitativo en el que se estudian las percepciones sobre la muerte, durante la infancia temprana, a través del análisis de dibujos y entrevistas realizados a los participantes. Dicho estudio concluye con algunas sugerencias muy interesantes para favorecer la aceptación de la muerte y la superación del duelo, en unas edades en las que se entiende que la muerte tiene un carácter reversible.Se puede concluir, después de la lectura detallada de los artículos que componen el número, que la educación es un campo de investigación en continuo cambio y transformación. Los recursos didácticos, las metodologías, las habilidades que se trabajan y las características de los contextos en los que se producen los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje, se deben adaptar a las realidades y situaciones que están presentes y conviven en el Siglo XXI.
Un corral de comedias en el IES
Authors: Wulff Armenteros Aitana
Published: April 2022

Nos encontramos ante una asignatura como Cambios Sociales y de Género, con unos objetivos específicos tan generales, conjuntamente con un alumnado de segundo de la ESO, con poca motivación con respecto al conocimiento general y acostumbrado a que hay asignaturas en las que se pasa el tiempo, considerando que deben de tener un conocimiento real de cambios fehacientes en nuestra sociedad. Además, hemos de considerar que en general el alumnado que va a esta asignatura es aquel que no quiere un segundo idioma, y aquel con calificaciones más bajas, por lo que su autoestima, en algunos casos, también se encuentra mermada. Otra motivación para este trabajo fue el ánimo de facilitar un tema para el próximo año a mi compañero de Lengua y Literatura. Aparece así la idea de abordar el tema de Siglo de Oro como tema fundamental para dar respuesta a las cuestiones planteadas más arriba.

Authors:   The Korean Society of Music Education Technology, Hwang Yoonhee
Published: April 2022

This study aims to analyze the trend of academic researches on domestic music therapy, and also to discuss the improvement measures based on the obtained results. As the research subjects, this study extracted and selected total 190 journals that performed the researches by carrying out music therapy for ten years from 2012 to 2021. The research scope was largely classified into analysis form and analysis scope of music therapy. The analysis form was composed of three subareas such as research type, research design, and execution measures while the analysis scope was composed of three subareas such as subjects, utilized elements, and effects. In the results of the analysis, the music therapy had been actively and continuously researched for ten years, and on the basis of 2018, the percentage of registered journals was much more increased(94.1%) than the one of non-registered journals. From 2012 to 2018, the researches were concentrated on social science and arts/physical education. From 2019 to 2021, however, there were diverse researches on interdisciplinary science, humanities, medicine/pharmacy, and engineering. In the research type, the quantitative research method targeting an experimental group and control group was mostly used. In the analysis related to the research execution measures, the biggest percentage was taken up by the programs with ten or less subjects, once a week, 10~15 sessions, and 60 minutes or less. In the subjects of therapy, the researches targeting adults were the most(26.8%). In the utilized elements, they mostly used the Gestalt, the theory of recollection, and instrumental performance & singing in group, and in most cases, there were results of effects on the improvement of emotion and sociality. The improvement measures based on the results of analyzing the research trend could be discussed as follows. First, it would be necessary to have various research designs & execution measures according to the personal characteristics of each different subject. Second, the intensified and customized rehabilitation music therapeutic programs for the elderly should be provided in the aging society. Third, it would be necessary not only to develop the new techniques of music therapy effective for modern people by reflecting the current paradigm of the 4th industrial revolution, but also to conduct such in-depth researches on the convergent application measures for techniques and media in the field of arts. Lastly, it would be required to continuously advance such diversified research methods that could maximize significant effects on human cognition, behavior, and body.

Sustainable Forest Management refers to the management and utilization of forests and their biodiversity, productivity, reproducibility potential and prospective in the relevant environment, both now and in the future in a manner that does not harm economic and social outputs at different levels, which creates socially equitable, environmentally sound and economically viable outcomes. Proper and sustainable plastic waste management is now seen as a necessity for sustainable forest use, leading to the setting of ambitious targets for recyclability as well as incorporating recycled plastics into products. For the scientific and forest management community, the challenges hindering efforts to mitigate plastic pollution are identified to inform the recommendations presented and emphasize the urgency of finding sustainable solutions to plastic pollution that do not only address the existing issues faced by forests and environments but also future threats presented by plastic pollution. Another way that plastic impact wildlife and forests is by releasing additives such as phthalates and Bisphenol A (BPA) into food chains which disrupts hormone system of vertebrates and invertebrates because they release substances that generate hormone imbalances. Plastic wastes manage to enter into and harm numerous biological functions of animals. In this article concept of sustainable forest practices and addressing the impact of plastic waste on the forests and environment before and during the COVID-19 epidemic are highlighted along with current sources of plastic wastes which manage to enter the environment. With sustainable forestry practices, plastic waste can be reduced, which has a positive impact on the ecosystem.

Temperature swing adsorption (TSA) is an energy intensive process as it needs heat for regenerating the adsorbent bed. Beds are regenerated and saturated simultaneously and are used cyclically. While one bed is undergoing adsorption, other is regenerated and vice versa. Regeneration of bed can be carried out by changing pressure or temperature. Former is called pressure swing adsorption (PSA) and later TSA. Heat is supplied for regeneration to desorb the impurities. Temperature required to regenerate the gas is high. Cycle time can be reduced and the process can be intensified by facilitating faster heat transfer in the bed. Normally the heat transfer coefficient of the adsorbent material is low which affects the cycle time. Better heat transfer can be obtained by increasing the heat transfer through packing by adding metal wires, strips or composite materials. Thus, metal fillings with good conductivity can be used in the bed. Technologies like TEPSA (Thermally Enhanced Pressure Swing Absorption) and TPSA (Temperature Pressure Swing Absorption) are developed for air pre-purification. TEPSA is a PSA process and TPSA is a TSA process. TEPSA is improved by addition of heat while in TPSA, adsorbate is removed by unheated regeneration gas. It is possible to make 20-60% power savings by moving to a TPSA cycle compared to TSA system. TPSA reduces not only cost of vessel but also pipe work involved in process. TPSA has a major advantage which is, without decreasing cycle time, thermal energy can be saved. This article explores various methods for intensification of Temperature swing adsorption. By combining advantages of pressure and temperature swing adsorption, solution to the problem of high energy demand and cycle time can be obtained. Proper selection of adsorbent material can be helpful in building economic process. Selection of adsorbent materials is based on various factors like cross-sectional area, strength, chemical inertness, etc. of the adsorbents. For TSA, thermal properties of adsorbent materials become significantly important while selecting the adsorbent.

Published: April 2022

Objective —improve the efficiency and quality of diagnosing tuberculosis (TB) in children by expanding the testing of «non-invasive» samples, developing an algorithm for integrating the potential of testing such samples into routine pediatric TB services in various settings, and mastering the skills of conducting laboratory procedures for testing fecal samples.

Materials and methods. As part of the project «Supporting efforts to combat tuberculosis in Ukraine», implemented by the PATH organization with financial support from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), a pilot implementation of the diagnosis of pulmonary TB in children has begun, using Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra cartridges for a fecal sample as a primary diagnostic test.At the stage of diagnosis, before starting treatment with anti-tuberculosis drugs, all children under 5 years of age were examined, as well as children under 15 years of age with a preliminary diagnosis of tuberculosis, who cannot produce sputum or who have difficulty obtaining other diagnostic material.

Results and discussion. The intermediate results obtained are quite encouraging for the implementation of such tests throughout the country. The use of faecal samples, which do not require invasive manipulation, may have a positive impact on laboratory confirmation of TB diagnosis in the pediatric population, with 12.8 % having a positive result, and 8.5 % of studies having a positive test result only with faeces and a negative with gastric lavage.

Conclusions. The results of the implementation of the method will help to identify and justify the necessary changes to the algorithm for diagnosing TB in children under 5 years of age or children under 15 years of age who cannot produce sputum or in case of difficulty in obtaining other diagnostic material.

Published: April 2022

This research aims to determine the long effects of soaking on the physical-sensory characteristics of frozen vannamei shrimp types PD (Peeled and Deveined) produced. This research was conducted at PT Istana Cipta Sembada Banyuwangi, using a simple Randomized Block Design research design with four treatments and two groups based on different research times. Soaking shrimps use a solution formula that has been determined by the company, consisting of turbo solution (non-phosphate) and STPP (phosphate). Four treatments of immersion time included P1 (6 hours), P2 (12 hours), P3 (18 hours), and P4 (24 hours). The test parameters observed were net recovery value, step loss, drip loss, cooking loss, and organoleptic (appearance, smell, taste, texture). Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) for parametric variables, followed by a DMRT follow-up test at a 95% confidence level (α = 0.05). In addition, the organoleptic value was obtained from the average organoleptic score of 5 panelists (2 trained panelists and three untrained panelists). The results showed that the soaking time did not have a significant effect (p > 0.05) on the observed physical-sensory quality values.

The Generality of Educational Effects on Cognitive Ability: A Replication
Authors: Lasker Jordan , Kirkegaard Emil O. W.
Published: April 2022

Recent research has provided strong demonstrations to the effects that education improves scores on intelligence tests. We tested whether the improvements elicited by education were consistent with raised intelligence or enhancements to specific skills involved in intelligence testing. We used the structural equation models from Ritchie, Bates & Deary (2015) on a longitudinal sample of over 4,000 American men who took an intelligence test near the end of high school and then took another around 37 years of age. Our results were consistent with theirs in that we found that the effect of education on intelligence test scores was not an improvement to intelligence itself, but instead was relegated to improvements to specific skills. Our results support the notion that education is not a source of enhanced intelligence, but it can help specific skills.
Disclosure of Suicidal Ideation and Behaviours: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Prevalence
Authors: Hallford David John , Rusanov Danielle , Winestone Ben , Kaplan Ryan A. , Melvin Glenn A
Published: April 2022

Disclosure of suicidal ideation and behaviours, defined as thoughts, plans, or attempts, to other people provides opportunity for intervention and prevention. This study is the first to meta-analyse all available studies to estimate the prevalence of disclosure, to whom people disclose, and examine factors that influence disclosure. Databases were searched for studies reporting samples of people who had experienced suicidal ideation or behaviours (including those who had died by suicide, i.e., suicide decedents) and whether they had disclosed this. Almost 100 studies (k=94, N participants= 1,044,629) were included in the overall prevalance analysis. The results showed less than half of people disclosed suicidal ideation or behaviour: 45.9% (95%CI 41.9-49.9%, PI 12.3-81.8%; k=94). High heterogeneity, common to prevalence studies, was found (Q[93]=130584, p<.001; I2=99.9%). No publication bias was detected. Removing outliers did not change the prevalence estimate, but provided tighter prediction intervals: 45.6% (95%CI 43.4-47.9%, PI 35.8-55.7%; k=33). Disclosure was related to higher prevalence of psychiatric disorders, female gender, and a longer timeframe of suicidal ideation or behaviour. Prevalence of disclosure was lower among people who died by suicide, relative to community samples, and lower when reported verbally rather than written online. Disclosure, and proportions of disclosures, to family members, was numerically higher than to friends or professionals, but could not be directly compared. In conclusion, between 50-60% of people do not disclose their suicidal ideation and behaviours to other people, and therefore remain unidentified and potentially untreated.
A review of the anatomy and function of the white matter tracts in language production and comprehension
Authors: Shekari Ehsan , Nozari Nazbanou
Published: April 2022

Much is known about the role of various cortical areas in language production and comprehension. The shift towards network approaches in recent years has highlighted the importance of uncovering the role of the white matter in connecting these areas. However, despite a relatively large body of research, the function of many of these tracts is still underdefined. In this paper, we present a comprehensive review of the empirical evidence on the role of eight major tracts that are hypothesized to be involved in language processing (inferior longitudinal fasciculus, inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus, uncinate fasciculus, the extreme capsule, middle longitudinal fasciculus, superior longitudinal fasciculus, arcuate fasciculus and frontal aslant tract). For each tract, we hypothesize the tract’s role based on the function of the cortical regions it connects. We then evaluate these hypotheses in light of data from three sources: studies in neurotypical individuals, neuropsychological data, and intraoperative stimulation studies. Finally, we summarize the conclusions supported by the data and highlight the areas in need of further investigation.
Is partner choice related to prosociality? A cross-national investigation
Authors: Claessens Scott , Kyritsis Thanos
Published: April 2022

Why does human prosociality vary around the world? Evolutionary models and laboratory experiments suggest that possibilities for partner choice (i.e. the ability to leave unprofitable relationships and strike up new ones) should promote cooperation across human societies. Leveraging the Global Preferences Survey (n = 27,125; 27 countries) and the World Values Survey (n = 54,728; 32 countries), we test this theory by estimating the associations between relational mobility, a socioecological measure of partner choice, and a wide variety of prosocial attitudes and behaviours, including impersonal altruism, reciprocity, trust, collective action, and moral judgements of antisocial behaviour. Contrary to our pre-registered predictions, we found little evidence to suggest that partner choice is related to prosociality across countries. After controlling for posited shared causes of relational mobility and prosociality around the world - environmental harshness, subsistence style, and geographic and linguistic proximity - we found that only impersonal altruism and trust in people from another religion are positively related to relational mobility. We did not find positive relationships between relational mobility and reciprocity, generalised trust, collective action, or moral judgements of antisocial behaviour. These findings challenge existing evolutionary theories of human cooperation which emphasise partner choice as a key explanatory mechanism, and highlight the need to generalise theoretical models and controlled experiments to global samples.
Why Do People Believe Health Misinformation and Who Is at Risk? A Systematic Review of Individual Differences in Susceptibility to Health Misinformation
Authors: Nan Xiaoli , Wang Yuan , Thier Kathryn
Published: April 2022

Health misinformation poses a significant threat to public health. Understanding why people believe health misinformation and who are at risk is crucial for developing effective interventions to reduce the harmful impact of misinformation. We conducted a systematic review of published empirical research that examined individual differences in susceptibility to health misinformation by focusing on the psychological, demographic, and behavioral correlates of health misinformation susceptibility. To guide our review on psychological correlates, we developed an integrative psychological model of susceptibility to health misinformation based on one’s ability and motivation to reason. Our review suggests that susceptibility to health misinformation is driven by multiple psychological processes. Overall, subject knowledge, literacy and numeracy, analytical thinking (vs. intuitive thinking), and trust in science confers strong resistance to health misinformation, whereas conspiracy thinking, religiosity, conservative ideology, and conservative party identification are generally associated with more susceptibility to health misinformation. In terms of demographic correlates, our review indicates that older age and higher educational attainment tend to predict less susceptibility to health misinformation, whereas racial minority status is associated with more susceptibility to health misinformation. Behaviorally, relying on health professionals or scientists as information sources predicts less susceptibility to health misinformation, whereas social media use is associated with more susceptibility to health misinformation. We conclude by discussing the theoretical implications of our findings, as well as practical implications for designing effective interventions to combat health misinformation.
Children left behind. New evidence on the (adverse) impact of grade retention on educational careers.
Authors: Contini Dalit , Salza Guido
Published: April 2022

This paper analyses the causal effect of grade retention on students’ high school track decisions in Italy. Using longitudinal administrative data, we propose a matching strategy to assess the impact of retention in institutional settings with substantial leeway in the promotion/retention decision. If decision makers differ in their propensity to retain students (strictness), it is reasonable to expect some of the students kept back to be fully on a par with others who are promoted. Assuming that strictness is a school-related factor, we argue that it is not theoretically possible to find a good match within the same school. We therefore match retained students to students with a similar array of ability measures, who were promoted in schools displaying a lower degree of strictness. We find that grade retention dramatically increases school dropout rates and that the negative impact is stronger for students with poorly educated or immigrant parents.
A Fragment of a Lost Chanson de geste

Published: April 2022

The Broxbourne collection in the Bodleian Library is a collection of rare binding specimens presented to the Library in 1978 through the Friends of the National Libraries by John Ehrman, in memory of his father. Broxb. 28.17 is an octavo edition of Josephus’s Antiquitates judaicae, published in Lyon in 1528. It is in an early sixteenth-century calf binding that features blind-stamped panels that seem to have been used in England. The binding contains three waste fragments: two vellum strips form upper and lower endleaf guards, while a single folio from a printed quarto serves as a lower endpaper. The present article concerns the lower endleaf guard, a strip cut from one folio, which contains a fragment of a text written in three columns. The fragment gives a disjointed but reconstructable narrative of a siege of Orange in an Anglo-Norman redaction, copied in the late thirteenth century. It conforms to the poem, Le Siège d’Orange, whose existence has been hypothesised by many scholars in the last century. A transcription of the fragment is accompanied by a commentary, which highlights the relationship between the fragment and other poems from the Guillaume Cycle.

Authors: Kamaliah Salleh  , Noor ‘Ashikin Hamid  , Asiah Bidin  , Noraida Harun
Published: April 2022

Digital funding platforms have been contemporaneously developed and utilised as a medium to enable businesses and companies to seek funds and to raise capital for any kind of commercial purposes, at any time or place. Such technology allows the service providers to invite the public to participate in generating funds for the businesses and companies in need. Through this mechanism, it is factual that funds are contributed by the public, while the law clearly provides the restriction of the public to invest or deposit or hold equity in private companies. Allowing the public to directly invest in private companies would be considered as illegal considering the legal restriction imposed on the private companies under the statute. Therefore, this article aims to study the legality of venturing this public money into the business investment of private companies. The focus of this study is the governing law in Malaysia in respect of the legality of funding private companies through online social lending namely peer-to-peer lending (P2P lending). This study is conducted by way of contents analysis of various provisions of relevant legislations. The outcomes of this study show that digital social lending such as P2P lending, has grown and been accepted by various natures of enterprises and private companies in order to start-up their business operation in Malaysia, as it compliments the limitation for private companies to invite the public to venture into their business.

Published: April 2022

INTRODUCTION: Laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation is known to cause tachycardia and increase in blood pressure during general anaesthesia. This study was designed to assess if auricular acupressure has beneficial effects in attenuating the haemodynamic changes during laryngoscopy and intubation. Secondly, this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of auricular acupressure in reducing preoperative anxiety. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eighty patients who were scheduled for surgery under general anaesthesia were randomised to receive either active auricular acupressure over bilateral Shen Men (Group A) or sham auricular acupressure (Group B). A total of three stimulations of auricular acupressure with ten minutes interval were performed before induction of anaesthesia. Haemodynamic parameters (heart rate and blood pressure) were recorded ten minutes after each stimulation, during laryngoscopy and intubation and every minute for ten minutes after intubation. Visual analogue scale for anxiety was documented before and at 30 minutes post first stimulation. RESULTS: The heart rate and mean arterial pressure were statistically higher in Group B comparing to Group A during intubation (p=0.043 and p=0.049 respectively). There was statistically significant reduction in blood pressure after intubation in both groups as compared to baseline (p<0.003 respectively). However, there was no significant difference when comparing both groups (p>0.05). There was no significant reduction of preoperative anxiety level in both groups after auricular acupressure (p=0.879). CONCLUSION: Auricular acupressure over bilateral Shen Men helped to attenuate the haemodynamic changes during intubation. However, it did not reduce preoperative anxiety.

Published: April 2022

This study aims to determine the relation between primary school fourth grade students’ attitudes towards reading and reading comprehension levels and make a comparative analysis of these variables in terms of number of books read in a month, reading frequency, and regular reading habits. Population of the study is primary school fourth grade students studying in public schools. “Reading Attitude Scale” developed by Yurdakal and Kırmızı (2019) and “Reading Comprehension Achievement Test” developed by Ergen and Batmaz (2019) are used as data collection tools of the study. The scales were applied to 300 students in spring semester of 2019-2020 educational year. The results of the study revealed that students’ attitudes towards reading were at a positive level; however, their reading comprehension achievements were at medium level. There was a weak positive correlation between attitude towards reading and reading comprehension achievement level. It was also found that as number of books students read, time allocated for reading, and regular reading habits increased, their achievement levels increased as well.

Ключові аспекти кількісної семантики в текстах сучасних кулінарних рецептів
Authors: Остроушко О. А.
Published: April 2022

У статті розглянуто основні аспекти вияву кількісної семантики в. українсько-, англійсько- та російськомовних текстах кулінарних рецептів, описано засоби вираження кількісності. Акцентовано на кількісних відношеннях, які виявляються в різних смислових площинах. З’ясовано, що: 1) у текстах кулінарних рецептів екпліковано значення означеної та приблизної кількості; 2) основними засобами вираження кількісності виступають числівниково-іменникові словосполучення; 3) типовим є уживання лексем зі значенням “одиниця виміру”; 4) засоби та способи вираження кількісності засвідчують національно-культурну специфіку.

Функціональна граматика як теоретична основа навчальних курсів української мови
Authors: Арешенков Ю. О.
Published: April 2022

Зазначено, що функціональний підхід дозволяє більш адекватно інтерпретувати мовні явища, оскільки засоби різних рівнів розглядаються в єдиній системі (на основі спільності їхніх семантичних функцій), що дозволяє розкрити закономірності взаємодії граматичних одиниць, лексики і контексту. Функціональна граматика базується на принципі єдності системноструктурного та функціонального аспектів, що знайшло свій вияв в аналізі від функцій до засобів і від засобів до функцій.
Power and politeness in political discourse. Analysing humorous and ironic comments in a Romanian parliamentary debate
Authors: Mada Stanca
Published: April 2022

The article analyses the use of humorous and ironic comments in relation to enacting power relations and politeness strategies in a Romanian parliamentary debate preceding the vote of investiture for a new Government after the 2004 general elections. Without aiming at making clear cut distinctions between humour and irony, the chapter discusses the overlapping nature of both concepts and includes humorous ironies (Dynel 2014, Gibbs et al. 2014, Yus 2013) in the analysed examples. A similar overlap is noticed at a functional level. Using the taxonomy of the functions of humour proposed by Hay (2000), the demonstration examines power games in parliamentary speeches along with the uses of humour as manifestations of politeness and group solidarity. When irony is seen as “a miscommunication design” (Anolli, Infantino, and Ciceri 2001), an ironic comment can be recognised either as a manifestation of power or strategically dismissed for the sake of preserving face.
The German protests of 68 as the source of humour in “die 68er Cartoons”
Authors: Diaconu Ioana Andreea
Published: April 2022

The paper presents a series of cartoons on the German student movement from the sixties created 50 years later and tries to identify the sources and mechanisms of humour as well as the trigger of laughter of the sketches. A short presentation of this movement, its importance and echoes to the present and the description of the cartoon technique are indispensable in understanding the cartoons. There will also be an attempt to place these works in the history of German cartoon. In the end, an attempt will be made to identify, whether the publication of translated versions of the examined cartoons would be in any way successful, or rather useless.
Analysis of the influence of gas pressure on the parameters of its combustion in household gas stoves
Authors: Predun K. , Konovalyuk V. , Franchuk Y.
Published: April 2022

In the gas supply system of Ukraine, gas appliances of domestic production are simultaneously operating, the manufacture of which took into account the requirements for parameters in our country and appliances manufactured in the countries of the European Union, where the requirements for the characteristics of gas are somewhat different. The first devices require a pressure of 1200-1300 Pa to ensure an optimal combustion process, and the second 2000-2500 Pa. The permissible minimum pressure in the distribution network can be significantly lower than required by gas equipment. Pressure control actually allows you to influence the efficiency of the gas combustion. A study of the change in the gas flow rate and the time of its combustion when heating a fixed volume of water at different pressures has been carried out. The study was carried out on household stoves from different manufacturers. The pressure range was from 1800 to 2600 Pa. The coefficients of change in the efficiency of gas use (δ) during the operation of the devices, depending on the pressure in front of the burners, have been determined. Based on the analysis of the results obtained, the optimal pressure was determined to be 2400 Pa. In this case, the minimum efficiency occurred at a pressure of 1800 Pa (deviation by 40%). At pressures of 2000 and 2500 Pa, on average, the deviation of the efficiency was 20%. The dependence of gas consumption on the intensity of its combustion was also analyzed. The experiments were carried out at constant pressure on burners of different power. It has been determined that when using a burner with a minimum power, the volume of gas used is reduced by 1,3 times with an increase in the heating time by about two times in comparison with a burner with a maximum power.

Cuando el dispositivo de investigación pone en escena lo investigado
Authors: Sharim Dariela , Ropert Teresa
Published: April 2022

Si bien hay un relativo consenso en los abordajes cualitativos respecto a la necesidad de incorporar la subjetividad del investigador en la producción del conocimiento social, la propuesta metodológica respecto de cómo hacerlo es aún incipiente. Para avanzar en esta discusión epistemológico-metodológica, el presente artículo sitúa su discusión dentro del enfoque biográfico en investigación social y los aportes de la Sociología Clínica francesa, dando un lugar primordial a la noción de intersubjetividad para comprender cómo se produce el dato cualitativo como conocimiento situado, reflexivo y co-producido entre investigador/a y participante. Para abordar un análisis del quehacer práctico de la reflexividad y la intersubjetividad en la investigación social, revisitaremos una investigación Fondecyt realizada entre el 2013 y 2015 cuyo tema fueron las relaciones de pareja e intimidad en Chile, con el fin de analizar interacciones específicas entre el/la investigador(a) y el/la participante durante la producción de Relatos de Vida. Los resultados del presente artículo refieren que la interacción investigador(a)-participante es un escenario simbólico que reproduce aspectos novedosos del fenómeno estudiado. El análisis de elementos particulares del dispositivo de investigación, como el encuadre, interlocución y diálogo, permite identificar algunas características propias del fenómeno psicosocial estudiado.
