The German ornithologist and botanist Leo von Boxbergerand his compatriot, the dealer in animal species (eggs and birds) Carlos Baltz Leuschner, during their stays in Malaga
Authors: Garrido Sánchez Manuel
Published: April 2024

In this work, we address different biographical, botanical and scientific aspects of Leo von Boxberger (1897-1950): judge, diplomat, ornithologist, botanist and expert oologist. We focus on his relations with Carlos Baltz Leuschner (1851-1918), also German, a watchmaker by pro-fession and a dealer of animal especies (eggs and birds), settled in our city, where he died in 1918, since the begining of 1888. Boxberger lived in Cameroon until february 1916, when Germany was forced to abandon this colony before the advance of the allied troops. The Spanish neutra¬lity in the Great War made possible its subsequent confinement in the Peninsula, specifically in Saragossa, where he had the opportunity to become familiar with the world of Spanish birds and plants. Once the war was over, he was repatriated to his country. At the end of 1929, he moved to Malaga with his wife and three of his four daughters. From here, he made numerous trips to enclaves in the province of Malaga and even to different locations of the Spanish Protectorate of Morocco. The result of his stay in Malaga were three ornithological articles, as well as many botanical articles and one focused on his visit to the Maghreb. He remained in Malaga until 1934, when the Civil War was threatening Spain and he left. En este trabajo abordamos distintos aspectos biográficos, botánicos y científicos de Leo von Boxberger (1879-1950): juez, diplomático, ornitólogo, botánico y experto oólogo. Incidimos en sus relaciones con el también germano Carlos Baltz Leuschner (1851-1918), relojero de profesión y marchante de especies animales (huevos y aves), asentado en nuestra ciudad desde principios de 1888 en la que fallecería en 1918. Boxberger residió en Camerún hasta febrero de 1916, fecha en que, ante el avance de las tropas aliadas, Alemania se vio forzada a abandonar esta colonia. La neutralidad española en la Gran Guerra posibilitó su posterior confinamiento en la Península, concretamente en Zaragoza, donde tuvo la oportunidad de familiarizarse con el mundo de los pájaros y las plantas españolas. Una vez finalizada la contienda fue repatriado a su país. A finales de 1929 se trasladó con su mujer y tres de sus cuatro hijas a Málaga. Desde aquí realizó numerosos desplazamientos a enclaves provinciales malacitanos e incluso a distintas lo¬calidades del Protectorado Español de Marruecos. Fruto de su estadía en Málaga fueron tres ar¬tículos ornitológicos, otros tantos botánicos y uno centrado en su visita al Magreb. Permaneció en Málaga hasta 1934, que abandonaría cuando en España se acercaba amenazante la guerra civil.

Published: April 2024

In this study, LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 was synthesized from various raw materials, including NiO, Ni 2 O 3 , MnO 2 , and Mn 3 O 4 . An improved solid-phase synthesis method was then used to reduce impurities through uniform mixing via bead milling and to achieve a consistent secondary particle shape and distribution through spray drying. The LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 was obtained by selecting materials optimized for rate capability and by applying an improved synthesis process. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy analyses confirmed that LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 successfully synthesized primary and secondary particles. This result showed that LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 , when subjected to an improved solid-phase synthesis, reduces production costs ,enhances its commercial value, and can be applied to lithium-ion secondary batteries to achieve high energy density and high voltage. In short, LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 can be used as an efficient energy storage material.
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) Polymer Research on Physical Changes in Plastics
Authors:   Korean Industrial Technology Convergence Society, Park Ki-Won
Published: April 2024

The cmp process is key to the uniformity of the thin film surface of wafers in semiconductor chip production. Retaining is an important process that is used in the field to maintain the surface of a thin film uniformly during wafer polishing; additionally, a ring is used in a style that facilitates the bonding of metal and plastics in various processes. This results in an extended manufacturing period and the adhering and subsequent solidification of the slurry to the diameter of the inner surface of the metal, which results in a scratch on the wafer owing to arbitrary dropout.
This study aimed to replace the existing method by developing an injection-type insert-embedded ring to address the aforementioned challenge. Thermal stress tests for the accurate injection of polyetheretherketone materials detected phenol, phenyl ether, and dibenzofuran components using Py-Gc/MS. DSC analysis showed that the glass transition temperature was as high as 150 °C and the melting temperature was 342 °C. During TG-DTA, the heat weight was reduced by 50%, and the change in the calorific value of the peak occurred at 585.1 °C when the heating and cooling rates were constant.
Effects of Welding Position on the Mechanical Properties of Flux Cored Arc Welded Metal of 420MPa Yield Strength Steels for Offshore Structures
Authors:   Korean Industrial Technology Convergence Society, Kim In-Chan
Published: April 2024

This study investigated the mechanical properties of flux-cored arc weld metal of 420-MPa yield-strength (YS) steels for offshore structures based on welding position. Results showed that the recovery rate of alloying elements in the horizontal-position weld metal was higher than that in the vertical-up-position weld metal, and the fraction of low-temperature transformation phases with high dislocation density in the horizontal-position weld metal was high. Consequently, the YS, tensile strength, and impact toughness of the horizontal-position weld metal were higher than those of the vertical-up-position weld metal. In addition, the impact toughness of the weld metal was affected to a greater extent by the microstructure and fraction of the weld metal itself than by the fraction of the martensite-austenite constituents.

How Best to Define Antisemitism? A Structural Approach
Authors: Della Pergola Sergio
Published: April 2024

Abstract: In the current discussion about definitions of antisemitism, the empirical social sciences have been marginalized. Groups of well-intentioned experts make decisions without considering the real-life experiences and perceptions of Jewish people—those who are impacted by antisemitism. I advocate returning the decision to the people, attributing greater weight in defining antisemitism to the actual perceptions of the victims—bottom-up rather than top-down. As a basis for a valid definition, we need to demonstrate these perceptions empirically. This paper presents a structural analysis of the 2018 Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA) Survey. The study, conducted through the internet, included over 16,000 self-identified Jews in 12 European Union countries. I review the findings regarding the main contents of antisemitic expressions, the channels of transmission of antisemitism, and the identity of perpetrators. Using Similarity Structure Analysis (SSA), I suggest a new and better analytic typology of the main patterns of perceptions of contemporary antisemitism.

Exploring emotion regulation mechanisms and attachment styles in individuals with childhood traum
Authors: Ayushi Karna  , Soumya Simon
Published: April 2024

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between childhood trauma and attachment styles, as well as emotional regulation strategies. Data were collected using valid questionnaires examining Childhood Trauma Questionnaire by Bernstein & Fink (2003), Attachment Style scale by Becker & Gilbert (1997) and Emotion Regulation scale by Gross and John (2003). A sample of 150 participants aged 18 to 30 years was analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis and Spearman correlation tests. The analysis revealed a significant correlation between childhood trauma and the use of expressive suppression as an emotion regulation strategy. Individuals with trauma tended to rely more on suppression than cognitive reappraisal. Additionally, anxious and avoidant attachment styles were predominant among participants with childhood trauma, suggesting disruptions in attachment formation due to childhood trauma. In conclusion, childhood trauma significantly influences attachment styles and emotion regulation strategies in individuals.

Matka Pohjoismaihin ja kotiinpaluun vaikeus afrikkalaisamerikkalaisessa modernismissa
Authors: Pöllänen Iida
Published: April 2024

Tässä artikkelissa tarkastelen Harlemin renessanssiin osallistuneiden afrikkalaisamerikkalaisten tekstejä analysoimalla Pohjoismaihin sijoittuvien matkojen ja kotimaahan paluun representaatioita 1920- ja 30-luvuilta. Useat afrikkalaisamerikkalaiset modernistit matkustivat ulkomailla ja kuvasivat sekä matkustamista että kotimaahan paluuta fiktiossaan ja omaelämäkerrallisissa teksteissään. Ulkomailla vietetty aika oli keskeinen osa mustaa modernismia, sillä se antoi kriittisiä välineitä oman kotimaan rotu-, sukupuoli- ja luokkasuhteiden tarkasteluun. Pohjoismaista kirjoitettuja kuvauksia ei kuitenkaan ole juurikaan tutkittu, vaikka usealla Harlemin renessanssin kirjailijalla oli sekä henkilökohtaisia että intertekstuaalisia kytköksiä alueelle. Artikkelissa tulkitsen Langston Hughesin, Nella Larsenin, Roy de Coverleyn ja Jessie Fausetin fiktiivisiä ja omaelämäkerrallisia tekstejä, minkä lisäksi tutkin afrikkalaisamerikkalaisia ja suomalaisia sanomalehtikuvauksia NMKY:n vuoden 1926 maailmankonferenssista, joka järjestettiin Helsingissä. Esitän, että matkustamisen ja kotiinpaluun representaatiot kyseenalaistavat kodin ja kotimaan käsitteet Yhdysvaltojen segregaatiokontekstissa, jossa afrikkalaisamerikkalaiset nähtiin toisen luokan kansalaisina. Samalla ne tuovat esiin, minkälaisia toiveita afrikkalaisamerikkalaiset modernistit liittivät Pohjoismaihin 1900-luvun alkupuolella.
Diasporiset kotiinpaluut ranskankielisessä afrikkalaisessa nykykirjallisuudessa
Authors: Toivanen Anna-Leena
Published: April 2024

Kotiinpaluu on ollut suosittu teema afrikkalaisessa ja Afrikan diasporien kirjallisuuksissa kautta aikain. Diasporiset kotiinpaluukertomukset kertovat historiallisten ja nykypäivän globaalien liikkuvuuksien tarinaa hieman eri näkökulmasta tuomalla lähtemisen sijaan keskiöön taakse jätetyn kotipaikan sekä siihen liittyvät henkilökohtaiset ja kulttuuriset muistot ja paluun usein synnyttämät identiteettidilemmat. Tämä artikkeli käsittelee ranskankielisen afrikkalaisen nykykirjallisuuden paluukertomuksia, joissa Afrikasta Eurooppaan lähteneet siirtolaiset palaavat takaisin kotimaihinsa erilaisten syiden motivoimina. Liikkuvuustutkimuksen näkökulmaa soveltava vertaileva analyysini keskittyy liikkuvuuden, ajan ja paikan yhteen kietoutuneisiin merkityksiin aineistossa, joka kattaa seuraavat fiktionaaliset sekä ei-fiktionaaliset teokset: Amadou Konén Les Coupeurs de têtes (1997), Nimrodin L’Or des rivières (2010) sekä Ken Bugulin Le Trio bleu (2022). Huomioni kiinnittyy erityisesti siihen, miten tekstien liikkuvuuskäytäntöjen ja kauttakulkupaikkojen kuvaukset tuottavat ajan ja paikan merkitysten ohella myös kotiinpalaajan hahmon.

Published: April 2024

Kirjailijoiden yksityistä elämänpiiriä valottavat henkilöarkistoaineistot, kuten kirjeet, päiväkirjat ja muistiinpanot avaavat kurkistusikkunan myös heidän koteihinsa. Julkisesta tilasta yksityiseen sukelletaan esimerkiksi Helvi Hämäläisen (1907–1998) päiväkirjoissa, joissa hän kertoo Finlandia-palkinnon jakotilaisuudesta ja illallisesta sen jälkeen. Kun Hämäläisen vanhoilla päivillään julkaisema runokokoelma Sukupolveni unta (1988) palkittiin Finlandialla, kirjailija palasi vuosikymmenien hiljaiselon jälkeen kirjallisuuden näyttämölle ja julkisuuteen.

The paper presents a physical description of the formation of a layer of positive charge around the body, during processing in a high-frequency capacitive (HF) discharge, due to which a directed flow of ions arises that bombard the surface of the body being processed. With the help of holographic measurements, the presence of a layer, which differs from the plasma of an RF discharge, is demonstrated around a body placed in an RF plasma. The theoretical substantiation of holographic measurements, plasma potentials, measurements of ion energy and ion current density on the surface of the treated body is presented.

ScholarOne - Zone In not Out! The Key to Winning for High-Level Tetris
Authors: Berry Jacquelyn
Published: April 2024

Automating a perceptual-motor task won’t win you a perceptual-motor
contest. Despite claims that mindless automaticity is the essence of
expertise, our view is that it is worthwhile only because it enables the
expert to plan and strategize. Indeed, the purpose of learning to
manually shift gears is to eventually ignore that part and focus on
actually driving. To perform well the expert must transition their
attention from a task’s low-level components to its high-level nuances.
This is best understood in real-world scenarios, e.g. driving, where
performance is dynamic and sometimes competitive. Our argument is based
on a years-long, longitudinal case study of learning to play the puzzle
game Tetris. Tetris is intensively perceptual-motor with complicated
manual routines needed to manage expert game speeds. For our case study,
the player started out as an advanced novice but successfully
transitioned to competing at the championship level and entered the
Classic Tetris World Championship in 2020. Initially, the challenge was
gaining enough skill to make and execute perceptual-motor decisions in a
fraction of a second. However, once that became automatic the player
could spend those mental resources someplace else. Performance was
better for all games when the player was mentally engaged and used their
focused attention to plan ahead rather than just automatically
responding to the game pieces. We argue that the end goal for automating
perceptual-motor skills in competitive, dynamic environments is to make
space for the user to excel strategically.
ScholarOne - Dance Learning in Elementary Education: Interactive Media and Mirror Neurons
Authors: Chen Kuan-Wei , Tsao Hsiao-Yue
Published: April 2024

This study aimed to identify the learning pathways of elementary school
students by using interactive multimedia materials (prepared using
Kinect v2) to learn dance. This study investigated the influence of
multimedia, signaling, and self-explanation principles and learning
outcomes in 101 Taiwanese elementary school students who completed
self-designed questionnaires. The collected data were used to construct
a structural equation model for analysis. The findings revealed that
among the various learning pathways observed when using interactive
multimedia materials, only one specific pathway led to significant
learning outcomes for students. In this pathway, students 1) understand
how to use the instructional materials; 2) identify cues within the
materials; 3) transform those cues into inner ideas; and 4) translate
these inner ideas to generate concrete and creative dance movements on
their own. The study also explained the mechanism behind the learning
pathway identified in this research based on mirror neurons’ function at
the mimesis and reflexive learning stages of student learning, providing
important insights for dance educators.
The Roles of Relational Leadership and Employee Satisfaction in the Linkage Between Social Capital and Employee Turnover: A Moderated-Mediation Analysis
Authors: Aditchere James , Angmortey Rebecca
Published: April 2024

Motivated by the inconsistencies in the employee turnover literature,
the study draws on the perspectives of social capital theory, relational
leadership theory, and the theory of reasoned action to examine how
social capital influences employee turnover  through employee job
satisfaction intention at varying levels of relational leadership.

Survey data from 153 employees from both public and private legal firms
in sub-Saharan Africa–Ghana was tested using OLS regression in SPSS.
Results indicate that social capital positively drives employee
satisfaction, while relational leadership was found not to moderate the
linkage between social capital and employee satisfaction. Interestingly,
employee satisfaction is found to fully mediate the relationship between
social capital and employee turnover intention.

The theoretical and managerial contributions of the study are outlined
in the latter section of the document.
Model-Predictive Control of Polyolefin Processes
Authors: Sharma Niket , Liu Y. A.
Published: April 2024

This chapter presents an in-depth exploration of model-predictive control (MPC) or advanced process control (APC) techniques in the optimization of polyolefin manufacturing processes. Drawing on the foundational motivations outlined in previous discussions, it highlights the pivotal role of APC in enhancing industrial efficiency and innovation. Through a comprehensive introduction to the basic concepts and tools of APC, including definitions of manipulated variables (MV), feedforward/disturbance variables (FF/DV), controlled variables (CV), and the intricacies of multivariable dynamic models, this work delineates the advantages of APC over traditional proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control systems. It further elucidates the mechanisms through which APC achieves its benefits, such as model CV prediction, economic optimization, and dynamic control execution, leveraging Aspen DMCplus and DMC3 control structures for illustration.

The chapter provides a detailed walkthrough of developing a dynamic matrix controller model for a copolymerization process utilizing Aspen DMC3 Builder, transitioning to the formulation and control of nonlinear processes. It addresses the challenges inherent in constructing nonlinear dynamic models for polymerization process control, introduces the Wiener model for nonlinear processes, and discusses the state-space, bounded derivative network (SS-BDN) for nonlinear controller modeling. A hands-on workshop for the development of a nonlinear model-predictive control (NMPC) of a polypropylene process is presented, culminating in an overview of recent advancements in MPC with embedded AI technologies.

Serving both as a primer for newcomers and a sophisticated reference for experienced practitioners and scholars, this work underscores the transformative potential of APC integrated with AI in the polyolefin production sphere. It advocates for the systematic adoption of these advanced control strategies to realize significant improvements in process efficiency, optimization, and innovation within the chemical processing industries.

Published: April 2024

Background: This systematic review aims to update and extend the findings of an earlier review on the suicidogenic impact of natural disasters.Methods: A systematic search of research published in 17 bibliographic databases was conducted (PROSPERO CRD42020216722). The review following PRISMA checklist identified 64 primary studies, published between 2012 and 2022, investigating the association between natural disasters and suicidal behaviour and ideation.Results: The majority of studies related to natural disasters in Japan, China, USA, India and Australia. Over half the studies (n=39) investigated the impact of earthquakes. Other disasters included hurricanes, floods, tsunamis, droughts, wildfires, tornadoes and multiple disasters. Concerning suicide mortality (the most studied suicide-related outcome), there was variability in the suicidogenic impact of earthquakes depending on location, age, sex and time elapsed since the event. While there appeared to be an increase in suicide mortality following drought, investigations of hurricanes/tornadoes and floods found no evidence of suicidogenic impact. Findings relating to other suicide-related outcomes are more consistent, suggesting that exposure to droughts, hurricanes, tsunamis, floods, and other natural disasters is associated with increased risk of suicidal ideation and non-fatal suicidal behaviour. Limitations: Publications in languages other than English, French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese may have been missed.Conclusions: The considerable inconsistency in the findings reported across these studies, particularly relating to suicide mortality, is noteworthy. This may reflect substantive (‘real’) differences in the impact of natural disasters on suicidal behaviour linked to the type of disaster, the socioeconomic and sociocultural context, the type of suicidal behaviour, or other explanatory factors.

The study of creativity in daily life explores creativity as it happens in people’s unique environments. A consistent finding in this small literature is that engaging in creative activities predicts greater positive emotions, particularly for activated, energetic positive states. To understand why creative activity in everyday life might foster well-being, we turned to self-determination theory’s (SDT) organismic needs—autonomy, competence, and relatedness—and the classic diary research that found that “good days” were days in which these needs were satisfied. To explore the mediating role of these three core needs, we conducted a seven-day experience sampling study of 125 university students, many of whom were majoring in creative fields. We asked if they were working on something creative along with questions about their current emotional state and experience of autonomy, competence, and relatedness. At the within-person level, we found that all three needs significantly mediated the effect of doing something creative on the experience of increased positive emotion as well as reduced negative emotion. Taken together, the findings suggest that SDT is a fruitful framework to understand how creativity promotes well-being in everyday life.
Comparison of anomalies in the VLF spectrum of the natural electromagnetic field with data from the seismometer in a landslide-affected area
Authors: HOFFMAN Michal , KOČI Eduard
Published: April 2024

The data from a permanent monitoring station, based on a sound card as an AD/DA converter and a magnetic loop antenna for continuous recording of electromagnetic field intensities in the Very Low Frequency (VLF) range, were recorded and compared with data from a seismic station based on Raspberry Pi located in a landslide-affected area. The stations operated 24/7 and were placed in a room below ground level. Correlations were observed between seismic signals in the frequency spectrum from 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz (some extending beyond 20 Hz) and anomalies in the electromagnetic field in the VLF range. These anomalies are likely associated with micro-fracturing, piezo-electromagnetic, and triboelectric phenomena within the landslide body, producing relatively weak VLF emissions and a faint seismic signal. A single-component 4.5 Hz 395 Ohm vertical Racotech RGI-20DX geophone with electronic extension to lower frequencies (< 1 Hz) was used with a sampling rate of 100 sps (samples per second). VLF emissions cover almost the entire spectrum from 6 kHz with a peak at 14 kHz to 18 kHz. The received spectrum was divided into following sections: VLF band 4 kHz – 6 kHz; 6 kHz – 8 kHz; 8 kHz – 10 kHz; 10 kHz – 12 kHz; 12 kHz – 14 kHz; 14 kHz – 16 kHz; 16 kHz – 18 kHz. Simultaneously, there were changes in these sections analysed and compared with the seismic record within the same time interval.
Probabilistic forecast of next earthquake event in Makran subduction zone using Weibull distribution
Authors: REHMAN Adil , ZHANG Huai
Published: April 2024

Earthquake is the most lethal type of natural disaster. Researchers have been working to develop precise earthquake prediction methods to save lives. A statistical investigation is an effective earthquake prediction method because they offer more details about the seismic risk or hazard issue. This study utilizes seismic data from the Makran subduction zone from 1934 to 2017. Probability distributions may be employed to assess the risk of seismic events and earthquake occurrence probability. This work estimates the probability of the next major event in the Makran subduction zone through Weibull distribution by considering strong earthquakes with a magnitude (Mw ≥ 6) in the intervals (in years) between two consecutive earthquakes. The probabilities of the forthcoming seismic event have been estimated based on the previous earthquake record, pictorially. The calculated parameters of the Weibull distribution for the Makran subduction zone may help to forecast the probabilities of a strong earthquake and describe the pattern of earthquake average return time. The calculated probability for the Weibull distribution reaches 0.92 after ten years since the last strong earthquake in 2021, indicating that the Weibull distribution within and around the present research area in 2031 will be 92%.
SENSITIVE SUBJECTS
Authors: Mukhida Leila
Published: April 2024

Both politically and aesthetically, the contemporary German and Austrian film landscape is a far cry from the early days of the medium, when critics like Siegfried Kracauer produced foundational works of film theory amid the tumult of the early twentieth century. Yet, as Leila Mukhida demonstrates in this innovative study, the writings of figures like Kracauer and Walter Benjamin in fact remain an undervalued tool for understanding political cinema today. Through illuminating explorations of Michael Haneke, Valeska Grisebach, Andreas Dresen, and other filmmakers of the post-reunification era, Mukhida develops an analysis centered on film aesthetics and experience, showing how medium-specific devices like lighting, sound, and mise-en-scène can help to cultivate political sensitivity in spectators.
THE MEANINGS OF A DISASTER
Authors: Kalmbach Karena
Published: April 2024

The disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant was an event of obviously transnational significance—not only in the airborne particulates it deposited across the Northern hemisphere, but in the political and social repercussions it set off well beyond the Soviet bloc. Focusing on the cases of Great Britain and France, this innovative study explores the discourses and narratives that arose in the wake of the incident among both state and nonstate actors. It gives a thorough account of the stereotypes, framings, and “othering” strategies that shaped Western European nations’ responses to the disaster, and of their efforts to come to terms with its long-term consequences up to the present day.
POLITICS OF THE DUNES
Authors: Woods Maxwell
Published: April 2024

Founded in the late 1960s on Chile’s Pacific coast, the Open City (la Ciudad Abierta) has become an internationally recognized site of cutting-edge architectural experimentation. Yet with a global reputation as an apolitical collective, little has been discussed about the Open City’s relationship with Chilean history and politics. Politics of the Dunes explores the ways in which the Open City’s architectural and urban practice is devoted to keeping open the utopian possibility for multiplicity, pluralism, and democratization in the face of authoritarianism, a powerful mode of postcolonial environmental urbanism that can inform architectural practices today.
The Roles of Entrepreneurial Education to Egyptian Students at All Educational Levels
Authors: Asaad Yousef Abraam , Adewale Ahmed Idris
Published: April 2024

Entrepreneurship education is regarded as critical in Egypt for promoting the country's long-term progress. The government has introduced entrepreneurial education studies in all educational institutions to address the various problems confronting the nation, such as unemployment among young people and recent graduates, reliance on foreign products and technological advancements, and extremely slow economic growth and development. As a result, it is suggested in this study that teaching entrepreneurship at all levels of education will provide students with the skills they require to be self-sufficient. The study also discusses the goal of rethinking entrepreneurial education, as well as the characteristics of entrepreneurship education and the new teaching position in entrepreneurship education. Entrepreneurship education should motivate both students and teachers to start their own firms. The level of entrepreneurship education that students receive affects every aspect of their thinking, development, invention, personality, and taking responsibility.
