The mutual inhibition effect of transport of sulfate and chloride in concrete specimens was determined in a macroscopic experiment. A higher concentration of sulfate has a better inhibition effect on chloride transport and the opposite is also true. In this paper, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was performed to explore the effect of concentration (0, 0.5, 1.0 mol/l) on the transport of mixed solutions (sodium chloride (NaCl) and sodium sulfate (Na2SO4)) in the main hydration products of aluminium-doped cement-based materials (i.e. calcium–aluminium–silicate–hydrate (C–A–S–H) gel). Sulfate was found to promote the aggregation of other ions to form ion clusters, which can reduce the effective width of the channel entrance and create a ‘necking’ effect, thus reducing the overall transport rate of the solution. With the increase of sodium chloride concentration, sulfate ions in the mixed solution can adsorb more Na+ and Cl− ions, and then form larger ion clusters to block the nanopores. Moreover, with increasing sodium sulfate concentration, a higher amount of sulfate ions existing in the solution makes it possible to form more ion clusters. The results can provide a reasonable nanoscale explanation for macroscopic experiment.

El presente texto académico-científico tiene su origen en la investigación realizada por la Ph.D. Edith Simona Rodríguez Astudillo, durante los años 2014-2018, en el Centro de Estudios de la Didáctica y la Dirección de la Educación Superior, Universidad de Cienfuegos, Cuba, mientras cursaba sus estudios por el Doctorado en Ciencias Pedagógicas. El resultado es importante no solo para los lectores, maestros y estudiantes de la Carrera de Administración Educativa, sino para todos los interesados en que la educación retome los senderos antiguos de formación integral del ser humano, con conocimientos sólidos en sus especialidades pero sobre todo en valores, pues la educación del siglo XXI, debe ser así, un volver a la humanización del estudiante, ya que la deselitización del conocimiento a través del internet, declarado el avance más grande del siglo XX, ha generado que los estudiantes investiguen temas extraordinarios pero se ha presentado el fenómeno del aislamiento en sus PCs, laptops, tablets, celulares y más entornos ubicuos, debiendo el docente validar sus conocimientos y sembrarlos en valores éticos y profesionales. Nuestra enhorabuena para este texto de obligada lectura para los científicos de la educación.
Tokat’ta İki Tarihi Külhan Kazanı
Authors: BAYRAKTAR Mehmet Sami
Published: June 2022

Bu çalışmada, Tokat il merkezinde bulunan iki tarihi külhan kazanı tanıtılıp değerlendirilecektir. Kazanların ait olduğu tarihi hamamların hangileri olduğu konusunda net bir tespit yapma imkânı bulunamamıştır. Kısmen tahrip olmakla birlikte, orijinal görünümlerini büyük ölçüde korudukları anlaşılan kazanlar bulundukları yapılardan yakın geçmişte alınarak Tokat Mevlevîhâne Vakıf Müzesi bahçesinde sergilenmektedir. Zengin tarihi yapı dokusuyla paralel olarak Tokat’ın geleneksel el sanatları bakımından da son derece gelişmiş olduğu görülmektedir. Bu sanatlar içerisinde bakırcılığın seçkin bir konumda olduğu görülmektedir. Dikkat çekici ölçülerdeki kazanlar, bu işçiliğin başarılı bir yansımasıdır. Tokat’taki hamamlara ait olan kazanların Osmanlı döneminde Tokatlı kazancılar tarafından imal edilmiş olabileceklerini düşünmekteyiz. Çeşitli tarihi belgeler ve yayınlar, Osmanlı devrinde Tokat’ın, başat konumda önemli bir kazancılık ve bakırcılık merkezi olduğunu işaret etmektedir. 20. yüzyılın başlarına kadar, kazan ve çeşitli bakır eşya imalatı alanında şehirde yoğun bir üretimin olduğu bilinmektedir. Sanat Tarihi literatüründe külhan kazanlarını konu olan çalışmalar son derece sınırlı olduğundan araştırmamızın alana katkı sağlamasını ümit etmekteyiz.
RADICAL GEOGRAPHY, HISTORY AND MODERNITY (I)
Authors:   Institute for Evolutionary Ecology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Tyutyunnik Yulian G.
Published: June 2022

The concept of radical geography emerged in the late 1960s and became very popular in America and Europe in the 1970s. Radical geography is a problem-oriented research area in the geographical science united by the ‘concept of social justice’ (D. Harvey). It has distinctive features as follows: a) the uniqueness of the themes, these being concerned with spatial and ecological problems generated by man’s violence against man and against nature; b) signs of ‘scientific underground’ (V.M. Kotlyakov – V.S. Preobrazhensky); c) the ‘leftist’ political orientation of theory and methodology. Radical-geographical intensions have always been present in culture and science. The article traces their evolution from the Greek antiquity to the 1970s. The paper presents and justifies the viewpoint that at the historical stage of ‘modernity’ the transformation of radical geographic ideas is conditioned by a) the historical collapse of Marxism as a project of future society, b) emergence of the newest egalitarian and antiestablishment doctrine of ‘postanarchism’, c) cardinal transformations of historical process connected with the adoption of network principles (in a broad sense) in modern society and eschatological expectations of ecological disaster. Modern geography cannot but be radicalized.

The paper formulates basic terms and axioms of the concept of complex geography, defines its subject, methods and models, traces the differences between this approach and other directions in the development of the theory of geographical science, presents quantitative models of geocomplexes constructed based on remote sensing data. By complexes we mean metrized, inductive, commutative, transitive, linearly ordered, discrete-continuous, limited, and changing homotopy systems of information exchange that consist of functionally related heterogeneous elements. This distinguishes the complex approach from the geosystem-dynamic one and from other models of reality. The paper considers the terms of the theory of complex systems: bundle, compositions, combinations, configurations, congruences, tangent transformations, analogy, homology and homotopy, categories and toposes. In modeling, we use the Jacobi determinant as a measure of connectivity and rank distributions for ordinalistic evaluation. The models are illustrated by examples from traditional geographical science (the comparative-geographical method, factor-dynamic series, the law of geographical zoning, etc.). Based on the developed models, we carried out a comparative analysis of the landscapes of the Baikal region using remote sensing data. The elevation and the potential insolation according to the digital elevation model were considered as independent variables (influencing factors). As the dependent variables, the average duration of occurrence of stable snow cover and the earth's surface temperature according to MODIS data were used. The research revealed a congruence of different parts of the territory, which justifies the complexity of the climatic characteristics of the Baikal region according to the selected indicators.
THE POTENTIAL OF RUSSIAN REGIONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE ON THE PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP PRINCIPLES
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Adamaitis Stanislav A.
Published: June 2022

Like many other countries of the world, Russia is experiencing a deficit of infrastructure investment. One of the main ways to overcome this deficit is to attract private investment using public-private partnership (PPP) mechanisms. However, a significant part of decisions on the implementation of PPP projects are made without taking into account the specifics of a particular territory, which can decrease the project’s effectiveness. Similarly, the methods for assessing the development of PPP in the regions are solely based on factors that are not directly related to their socio-economic indicators, and only consider the quality of management and the experience of implementation of PPP projects. Using the example of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the author develops an integral index that takes into account institutional, budgetary, and socio-economic indicators reflecting the region's readiness to implement PPP projects as well as the need for such projects. The results of calculating this integral index for transport infrastructure projects reflect a significant differentiation of Russian regions in terms of the potential for the PPP development. Generally, regions with a high level of socio-economic development (including Moscow, St. Petersburg and most of the leading industrial regions) have a more significant potential for using PPPs in the infrastructure development. Regions possessing a favorable transport and geographical location, as well as an institutional environment conducive to attracting private investment, also have high potential.
DEPENDENCE OF THE SPRING FLOOD PEAK IN THE UPSTREAM OF THE TSNA RIVER ON CLIMATIC FACTORS

Published: June 2022

The rise of water in rivers when it reaches high and abnormally high levels can lead to catastrophic consequences for the property complex and even pose threat to human life. Generally, in the European part of Russia, such levels are observed during high spring floods, which are characterized by a random frequency and depend on a combination of several factors. Climatic changes necessitate significant adjustments to the previously developed forecasting methods, whose accuracy and justification are reducing sharply. Therefore, the development of relevant forecasting methods for small and medium rivers is an important scientific objective. This paper considers 17 climatic factors potentially influencing the formation of the maximum levels of spring floods. The factors whose influence is most significant were determined by the correlation-regression analysis. The analysis was carried out according to the data of the Kuzmino-Gat gauging station, located at the upper reaches of the Tsna River (the Oka River basin), and the Tambov weather station for the period from 1970 to 2020. We have established that the probability of high floods increases to the greatest extent when the starting dates of snowmelt shift to later ones. The probability of high floods also increases with a rise in snow water reserves, autumn soil moisture, and a later transition of the average daily air temperature through 0ºС upwards. The results of this work are already being introduced into practice for verification and are used to make forecasts of the maximum flood level at the Kuzmino-Gat gauging station.
The effect of systematic exercise training on skeletal muscle strength in a patient with advanced inclusion body myositis: A case study
Authors: D'Alton Caroline , Johnstone Rachel , Du Plessis Caitlin , Pursad Avinesh , Kohn Tertius Abraham
Published: June 2022

Inclusion body myositis (IBM) is an inflammatory and degenerative autoimmune disease that targets specific muscle groups, causing severe muscle weakness. Exercise training is often contraindicated in myopathies as it may aggravate muscle damage and inflammation. Although some reported positive outcomes in muscle strength of early diagnosed IBM patients undergoing resistance training, there remains uncertainty as to whether exercise could be beneficial and safe in advanced stage IBM. Thus the aims of this research were to evaluate the safety and response of 16-weeks supervised resistance training on the health and muscle performance of an elderly participant diagnosed with advanced stage IBM. It was shown that the training had no adverse effects on the health of the patient. Muscle strength measured at eight weeks and on completion of the intervention, remained the sameas at baseline. In conclusion, the exercise programme was found to be safe and seemed to maintain muscle strength in a patient with advanced stage IBM.

Understanding How Baby Boomers Use the Internet and Social Media to Improve the Engagement with Brands
Authors: Carrillo-Durán María-Victoria , Ruano-López Soledad , Fernández-Falero M-Rosario , Trabadela-Robles Javier
Published: June 2022

The emergence of the baby boomers, as a new group of people aged 55 to 75, with unique interests, media exposure and shopping habits, set a before and after in the language that brands must speak. The main objective of social media is to build engagement, and in the digital environment, it means engaging both seniors and companies. For this, learning how they act in the digital environment is key. This paper aims to show how baby boomers behave in this environment, showing the challenges and advantages brands have to reach them effectively. Based on an exploratory and qualitative study with focus groups of senior internet and social network users from Portugal and Spain, the results show that analysing their habits of exposure to these media and the interests, brands do not seem to speak the same language they do, and that is why baby boomers do not feel engaged with them online. This work provides recommendations to get this engagement and improve the digital experience. In this line, to build this engagement, brands need to understand the variables of interest for baby boomers stemming from this study: affiliation and support. On the other hand, they must assume that this level of engagement will depend on establishing an active dialogue, with content targeted at different segments of the population, related to the variables above (affiliation and support), and to a degree enough to reach baby boomers emotionally.
A Reparação da História e os Erros dos Seus Agentes em O Regresso de Júlia Mann a Paraty
Authors: Sousa Sandra
Published: June 2022

É meu objetivo neste espaço analisar o mais recente livro de Teolinda Gersão, O Regresso de Júlia Mann a Paraty (2021), à luz do conceito de psicologia negra desenvolvido por Wade W. Nobles. Pretendo, assim, complexificar uma das questões centrais do romance, proferida por Sigmund Freud, o pai da psicanálise, tornado por Gersão (2021) em personagem-narrador fictícia: “será possível que sejamos incapazes de progredir no plano ético, do mesmo modo que, afinal, parecemos incapazes de amor e compaixão?” (p. 14). Ao mesmo tempo, pretendo também desconstruir o que o romance nos aponta como os erros de dois dos mais significativos agentes da história, tanto no campo científico como no literário. Influenciados e influenciadores intelectualmente, as grandes figuras da história literária, científica e do pensamento presentes no livro de Gersão foram alvo do mesmo lapso: o não questionamento crítico de um mundo apoiado na hegemonia branca, em que a diferença e a dignidade do “outro” foram rasuradas. Basendo-me no trabalho de Catherine Hall e Corinna McLeod, entre outros, sobre o processo da escrita da história como um processo reparatório demonstro ainda como O Regresso de Júlia Mann a Paraty efetua um diálogo crítico e reparador com o passado que se espelha no presente.
A Iconoclastia Contemporânea: O Antirracismo Entre a Descolonização da Arte e a (Re)Sacralização do Espaço Público
Authors: Goes Diogo
Published: June 2022

Este artigo tem por objetivo contribuir para a reflexão sobre as fenomenologias da não identificação com o património cultural e artístico, nomeadamente, o arquitetónico e o escultórico, instalado no espaço público urbano. As práticas iconoclastas contemporâneas trouxeram para o debate político e mediático o questionamento da qualidade e pertinência das transformações estéticas e artísticas que aconteceram nas cidades. Pretende-se estabelecer possíveis relações entre os fenómenos iconoclastas, as mitografias contemporâneas e as práticas discursivas pós-coloniais e neocoloniais, abordando as problemáticas sociais e políticas subjacentes ao racismo, que poderão estar na origem das práticas de iconoclastia contra o património. A partir de uma revisão selecionada à literatura científica, publicada no último vinténio, nomeadamente, da autoria de Araújo e Rodrigues (2018), Kilomba (2019; “‘O Racismo É uma Problemática Branca’ diz Grada Kilomba”, 2016), Maeso (2016), Roldão et al. (2016), Ribeiro (2021), Santos (2003), V. Sousa (2020), Vale de Almeida (2000, 2012), Varela e Pereira (2020), entre outros, procurou-se demonstrar o contributo da arte contemporânea e do artivismo curatorial, no seio das instituições museológicas, para o questionamento das narrativas históricas institucionais e para a progressiva desconstrução das práticas discursivas lusotropicalistas, que instituem o colonialismo e a escravatura como inevitabilidades históricas aceites. Verificou-se que o pensamento hegemónico ocidental está assente numa falsa construção ideológica identitária, suportada numa alegada superioridade moral e racial, tendo em vista justificar a prossecução de um modelo de exploração económica estruturado na dominação cultural. Concluiu-se que o multiculturalismo no seio das instituições culturais, a par da salvaguarda da diversidade cultural e da interpretação patrimonial no espaço público, poderá assegurar a inclusão e coesão social, desenvolvendo sentimentos de pertença, e, por conseguinte, permitindo a mitigação das desigualdades e da violência.
A Restituição Cultural Como Dever de Memória
Authors: Sousa Vítor de , Khan Sheila , Pereira Pedro Schacht
Published: June 2022

O Dever de Memória, título que Primo Levi (2011) deu a um dos seus livros, consubstancia toda a lógica que está subjacente à restituição cultural, num processo que está em marcha, tendente a promover a reparação dos danos provocados pelo colonialismo. Muito embora a reparação nunca seja completamente concretizada, a atitude que lhe está subjacente pode atenuar ressentimentos, num sinal assente na diversidade e não, como quase sempre aconteceu, numa lógica unilateral, decorrente de um olhar ocidental. Através da utilização da memória, que, no caso de Levi, incidiu sobre o holocausto — a que se reporta a cunhagem da expressão “dever de memória” —, foi dado o seu testemunho enquanto judeu que foi prisioneiro dos nazis, para que nada semelhante alguma vez voltasse a acontecer. Há um urgente dever de memória tendente a reparar atrocidades cometidas em tempo colonial, através do exercício da violência por parte de quem colonizava. Por conseguinte, a ideia de “dever da memória” quer significar a responsabilidade ética de nunca esquecer...
Eco-evolutionary dynamics of intergenomic epistatic QTLs under slight and hard multilevel selections in community genetics
Authors: Farshad Fattahi
Published: June 2022

Eco-evolutionary community genetics refers to the study of population genetics at multispecies levels since a single species evolves genetically through interactions with other species. The aim of this paper is dynamical modeling of interspecific quantitative trait loci (QTL) under slight and hard multilevel selection to investigate eco-evolutionary genetic relationships among QTL of multispecies. It was found that the simplex explained the intergenomic epistatic QTL (IEQ) dynamics in a discrete-time model according to Wright’s manifold. Besides, the generalized gradient system on the simplex demonstrated the IEQ dynamics in a continuous-time model. The outcomes of slight and hard multilevel selection on the expressions of IEQ in species were explained by the gradient operator of the mean multilevel fitness. IEQ analysis was integrated into community genetics according to Lande’s assumptions, so for slight multilevel selection, the geometric average of the mean multilevel fitness specified Wright’s idea of adaptive topography. The dynamical system for phenotypic eco-evolution under a hard multilevel selection gradient was studied and the relative mean multilevel fitness of two species was estimated.

The Importance of Self-Experience in Art for Future Generalist Teachers
Authors: Štěpánková Kateřina
Published: June 2022

The personal attitude of teachers towards the subject they teach, their professional self-efficacy and expertise are essential for their ability to deliver subject content to pupils. However, the relationship of future teachers to the subject is formed earlier in their own educational history than at university. From it derives their interest in the subject and further education. Our research has shown that students specialising in primary education and afterschool education have negative memories of art education at primary schools and they evaluate the subject and its benefits as marginal.

In this article, we will discuss how the transformation of the didactic approach when focusing more on the creative process rather than on the product can positively affect the already established relationship of future teachers to art education, and contribute to the understanding of the objectives of art education. This research was aimed at generalist teachers (primary school) and undergraduate students who will work in school clubs or as afterschool educators. The research was segmented into three phases where in the first phase of the research, we used a qualitative approach to determine the personal attitude of students to the subject of art education. In the second phase, we used the art-based approach. In this phase, didactic procedures inspired by creative art therapy and reflective experiential education were applied to change this attitude. Art-based approach was chosen mainly because it makes it possible to monitor the changes that take place in the process and at the same time, thanks to the process, it is possible to induce these changes. This type of research generates other, unexpected questions that enable a deeper understanding of the issue. In the third phase students presented their artworks and reflected on the creative processes, as well as on the course itself, its benefits, obstacles and transferable experiences.

The conclusion of the research is that these methods can in a very short time change the attitude to one's own creative abilities / creative self-confidence / to update and expand the perception of the subject and its goals. At the same time, a need arises for deeper professional education that would facilitate students' didactic preparation of meaningful artistic activities.
El debate naturaleza-cultura en la relación conflictiva entre maternidades y feminismos
Authors: Cañero Ruiz Julia
Published: June 2022

La dicotomía naturaleza- cultura ha sido polémica dentro del análisis feminista para explicar una supuesta subordinación universal de las mujeres. Desde las ciencias sociales se ha debatido y criticado su uso, debido al etnocentrismo y antropocentrismo desde el que opera esta división, a la que se unen otros pares dicotómicos como público-privado. Es necesario conocer los porqués de la adjudicación de los lugares (mujer a la naturaleza, hombres a la cultura) y también la relación jerárquica entre ellos. Teniendo como base los feminismos decoloniales podemos identificar el sometimiento de la naturaleza y de las mujeres como colonias internas dentro de un sistema mundo, y a su vez, garantizar una mirada situada que rompa con universales establecidos desde occidente. Al realizar este análisis descubrimos el valor que se otorga a las actividades desarrolladas por las mujeres, entre las que se encuentra la maternidad. De esta manera volvemos a entrar en la conflictiva relación de algunas corrientes feministas con la maternidad, al mantener dicotomías y por lo tanto, asociar lo maternal a la naturaleza, al ámbito privado y doméstico y también al homogeneizar los procesos de hombres y mujeres. El desencuentro entre maternidad y feminismo occidental ha dado lugar a diferentes interpretaciones sobre la lactancia materna o la crianza con apego. Al mismo tiempo, es necesario hacer autocrítica sobre el carácter salvacionista del feminismo eurocéntrico hegemónico, donde muchas madres son consideradas víctimas de “la ley del padre” debido a su elección de un estilo de crianza determinado. A estos debates es importante añadir la familia como espacio de opresión o de resistencia, donde se tenga en cuenta la capacidad de agencia de las madres. Y para finalizar, como parte del debate naturaleza-cultura, entraremos en la controversia sobre instinto y deseo materno, enfrentando dos perspectivas feministas: por un lado, el amor materno y el maternaje son vistos como elementos de sumisión y por otro lado, como elementos subversivos. Así, se observa la necesidad de aplicar perspectivas bioculturales en la maternidad y la crianza, donde se cuente con la voz de las madres sobre sus propios procesos y significaciones y con las necesidades de la infancia dentro de las agendas políticas y feministas.
Higher Concentration of Ascorbic Acid as a Sole Induction Factor for Osteogenesis on MC3T3-E1 Cell Model
Authors: Yazid Farinawati , Ng Wan Ching , Luchman Nur Atmaliya , Zainal Ariffin Shahrul Hisham , Megat Abdul Wahab Rohaya
Published: June 2022

This research aimed to investigate the potential of ascorbic acid (Asc) to act independently as an osteogenic induction factor in a murine pre-osteoblast (MC3T3-E1) model. MC3T3-E1 cells were seeded in culture wells and hydroxyapatite scaffold for two-dimensional and three-dimensional analyses respectively. Cell morphology, viability, osteoblast differentiation, and mineralisation potentials of MC3T3-E1 cells were compared between induction of standard (50 µg/mL) and doubled (100 µg/mL) Asc concentrations in growth media. Cells with fibroblast-like morphology became confluent earlier on day 6 in the standard group compared to the doubled group on day 9. Cell viability and differentiation potential were significantly increased in the doubled group (p < 0.01). Mineralisation occurred in the doubled group after 15 days of seeding but no mineralisation was seen in the standard group. Findings were similar in 3D analysis whereby mineralized nodules were seen only in the doubled group. The relative expression of collagen 1(α) and osteocalcin genes were increased in the doubled group than the standard group. Doubling Asc concentration in a growth medium to 100 µg/mL can induce viability, differentiation, and mineralisation of MC3T3-E1 cells. Thus, higher concentration of ascorbic acid can potentially be used as the sole induction factor in osteogenic medium.

Published: June 2022

Actinobacteria produce active secondary metabolite with medicinal properties, such as antibacterial or anticancer. However, there are some reports about the difficulties in discovering novel secondary metabolites. Therefore, the need for a new approach is obvious. Several factors such as types of nutrients in the culture media or different solvents used for extraction have been proven to influence the Actinobacteria secondary metabolite production. In this study, a combination of culture media optimization and metabolites fingerprint analysis were applied to identify antimycobacterial active compounds from Actinobacteria (InaCC A758). Five culture media were used in the secondary metabolite production of the Actinobacteria. The metabolite fingerprinting was carried out by analyzing the secondary metabolite profile extracted from culture media optimization using UPLC-MS. Multivariate analysis, i.e. cluster analysis and principal component analysis (PCA) was applied. The result showed that a unique antimycobacterial compound candidate against Mycobacterium smegmatis was produced by SYP media cultured InaCC A758 (MIC 6.25 µg/mL).

Published: June 2022

This multicentre study aimed to evaluate the air leakage following a palatal surgery and its effect on CPAP adherence in OSA patients. The data on air leakage and adherence were objectively obtained and evaluated from the recorded CPAP therapy data. Forty patients were divided into two groups: surgery (18 patients) and non-surgery (22 patients). The mean air leakage level was 7.62±8.14% and 12.62±13.81% and mean adherence was 51.44±35.27% and 60.03±27.04% for surgery and non-surgery, respectively. There was no significant difference in CPAP adherence (p=0.389) but for mean air leakage it was significantly higher in non-surgery (p<0.01). The occurrence of significant air leakage during CPAP therapy was not associated with surgery (p=0.436). There was no association between poor CPAP adherence and surgery (p=0.622). In terms of impact of palatal surgery, it did not cause significant leakage with no significant association to poor adherence.
Time-Temperature Profiles Effect on Thermoluminescence Glow Curve Formation of Germanium Doped Optical Fibres
Authors: Ahmad Fadzil Muhammad Safwan , Mohd Noor Noramaliza , Tamchek Nizam , Ung Ngie Min
Published: June 2022

The development of optical fibres technology grows in response to seeking a radiation detector with better thermoluminescence (TL) performance. Concerning the dosimetric characterization study by previous researchers, this research work has widened the exploration to optimize the time-temperature profile (TTP) in connection with the glow curve formation of the optical fibres. Two forms of germanium (Ge) doped optical fibres, namely cylindrical optical fibre (CF) and flat optical fibre (FF) were fabricated, and the TTP were investigated prior to commissioning the optical fibres for fieldwork. CF and FF were irradiated to the dose of 2 Gy using a 6 MV linear accelerator. Various TTP profiles, including preheat temperature, preheat time, acquisition temperature rate, and acquisition time were varied to determine the best thermal profile for the CF and FF based on the glow curve formations. Out of 4 parameters, an increase in preheat temperatures ranging from 40 to 120 °C caused a significant variation in the glow curve formation, thus possibly giving rise to different TL signals of the optical fibres. The maximum glow peak temperature of CF and FF was unvarying when different preheat temperatures employed. These findings support the conceptual idea that manipulating the optical fibres’ readout system can alter the glow curve formation. Thus, an optimized TTP will provide the correct glow curve configuration for kinetic parameter analysis.
A New Optimization Scheme for Robust Design Modeling with Unbalanced
Authors: Baba Ishaq , Midi Habshah , Ibragimov Gafurjan , Rana Sohel
Published: June 2022

The Lin and Tu (LT) optimization scheme which is based on mean squared error (MSE) objective function is the commonly used optimization scheme for estimating the optimal mean response in robust dual response surface optimization. The ordinary least squares (OLS) method is often used to estimate the parameters of the process location and process scale models of the responses. However, the OLS is not efficient for the unbalanced design data since this kind of data make the errors of a model become heteroscedastic, which produces large standard errors of the estimates. To remedy this problem, a weighted least squares (WLS) method is put forward. Since the LT optimization scheme produces a large difference between the estimates of the mean response and the experimenter actual target value, we propose a new optimization scheme. The OLS and the WLS are integrated in the proposed scheme to determine the optimal solution of the estimated responses. The results of the simulation study and real example indicate that the WLS is superior when compared with the OLS method irrespective of the optimization scheme used. However, the combination of WLS and the proposed optimization scheme (PFO) signify more efficient results when compared to the WLS combined with the LT optimization scheme.

Статья посвящена результатам комплексного изучения материалов из кург. 30 могильника Ханкаринский Дол, расположенного на левом берегу р. Ини в 1-1,5 км к юго-востоку от с. Чинета Краснощековского р-на Алтайского края (Северо-Западный Алтай). Исследованный объект относится к пазырыкской культуре. В процессе его раскопок выявлено разграбленное парное погребение мужчины и подростка, которые первоначально были ориентированы, вероятно, головой на восток. Вдоль северной стенки могильной ямы обнаружено сопроводительное захоронение семи лошадей, уложенных в два ряда друг за другом головой на восток. Морфологический анализ показал, что все особи были жеребцами и не отличались от таких животных из других объектов могильника Ханкаринский Дол. При этом они имеют как определенное морфологическое сходство с лошадьми из других курганов пазырыкской культуры Алтая, так и отличия. Представлен анализ сопроводительного инвентаря, включающего железные удила, костяную пронизь, миниатюрные бронзовые кинжалы в деревянных ножнах, чекан, многочисленные фрагменты золотой фольги от снаряжения лошади, а также фрагменты китайских деревянных лаковых изделий. На его основании сделан вывод, что данное погребение было совершено не ранее IV в. до н.э., возможно, во второй половине IV — начале III в. до н.э. Археологическое датирование дополнено результатами радиоуглеродного анализа, который осуществлялся в Аналитическом центре изотопных исследований Института мониторинга климатических и экологических систем СО РАН (Томск). На основе изучения погребального обряда и инвентаря кург. 30 отнесен к числу памятников региональной элиты кочевников Северо-Западного Алтая.

Published: June 2022

The study examines how postgraduate students use Social Networking Sites (SNS) in communicating scholarly information in Kenyan universities with reference to use of WhatsApp, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Academia.edu. The objectives of this studies are: to determine how social networking sites are used for scholarly communication and to find out the reasons for using social networking sites by postgraduate students. Descriptive research design was used to guide the study. From four universities with a sample size of 242 postgraduate students who filled the questionnaire. The findings of the study showed that postgraduate students use SNS to share research ideas, class experiences, to know where to meet for lessons, when lectures are starting and updates on deadlines for submitting class assignments; the reasons for using SNS are for academic purposes and group discussion. In conclusion, the findings of the study show that postgraduate students use SNS to share daily experiences within campus rather than sharing information on how and where they can get scholarly information that will enable them to add new body of knowledge.
MeSH versus BibSonomy: A Comparative Study of Index Terms and Social Tags in Nursing Literature
Authors: Sarkar Arindam , Bhattacharya Udayan
Published: June 2022

Present study attempts to examine similarities and differences between the expert generated subject headings and social tags. The study focuses on the comparing BibSonomy social tags and MeSH terms. For this purpose hundred articles in the domain of nursing were collected from BibSonomy as well as PuMed. The results show that 92.72% MeSH terms are not available in social tag vocabulary and almost 15% social tags are likely to be accepted by MeSH terms i.e., experts. Jaccard similarity coefficient shows that users and experts use variant terminology. Users use mostly title-based keywords while experts have used mostly topic-based terminologies. It is suggested that while social tags could improve document retrieval. They cannot substitute controlled vocabulary. OPACs must allow users to describe library documents through user-generated social tags along with expert (librarian) generated terms.

Libraries are particularly vulnerable to high fire load and therefore fire-fighting preparedness is an important aspect of library management. Suitable contingency plans are necessary to protect the educational and archival resources from irreparable damage. The present work accentuated the expediency of Geographical Information System (GIS) application using Computer Aided Design (CAD) model and in fire-fighting preparedness focussed on library facilities at the Central library of The University of Burdwan, West Bengal, India as a case study. The purpose of this work is to review current legislation and guidelines on fire safety in library facilities according to Indian Standard, and analyze the present situation in terms of existing infrastructure and facilities at the Burdwan University Central library (BUCL). With this, the fire emergency service response in GIS environment finally presents the findings of the case study to assess the provision of these requirements in BUCL. This Paper presents a detailed study on the fire preparedness analysis of the library with recommendations categorized in different levels of cost analysis, this work would be effective for successfully analysing the fire-fighting preparedness inside as well as outside of library facilities; the recommendations are also applicable to and can be followed as per need and available fund by other libraries.

BSPASS: A Beam Search-Based Phase Association and Source Scanning Earthquake Location Method
Authors: Wang Chaoliang , Liang Chuntao
Published: June 2022

We propose a novel phase association and source scanning method by incorporating the norm-grid search and a beam search technique together to associate seismic phases, and to determine the accurate location of a particular event simultaneously. The method is called the beam search-based phase association and source scanning (BSPASS). Using synthetic travel times for two seismic networks with different station spacings, we examine the practicability and accuracy of the BSPASS method. The results show that BSPASS could constrain event location with high precisions, if the standard deviation of travel-time errors is less than 0.4 s. The method works well even for those earthquakes located at the network boundary. We applied the BSPASS method to the beginning day of the 2018 Purcell mountains earthquake swarm. Two times more events are detected automatically, and similar spatiotemporal distribution of these earthquakes is recognized by our method compared to the U.S. Geological Survey catalog. We also investigate the flexibility and robustness of the BSPASS method by adding Gaussian noises to phase arrivals. With the increasing of noise levels, the location errors grow accordingly. Based on our tests, we suggest that there might be an upper limit of phase picking errors for a particular source array configuration, for example, 0.4 s in this study, above which the global optimization procedure fails to resolve a better source location under the constraint of travel-time residuals than that of the norm-grid searching.
LPPN: A Lightweight Network for Fast Phase Picking
Authors: Yu Ziye , Wang Weitao
Published: June 2022

We here present one lightweight phase picking network (LPPN) to pick P/S phases from continuous seismic recordings. It first classifies the phase type for a segment of waveform, and then performs regression to get accurate phase arrival time. The network is optimized using deep separable convolution to reduce the number of trainable parameters and improve its computation efficiency. Experiments using the STanford EArthquake Dataset (STEAD) show that the precision of LPPN can reach 95.2% and 83.7% with the recalls 94.4% and 84.7% for P and S phases, respectively. The classification–regression approach shows comparable performance to traditional point-to-point methods with lower computation cost. LPPN can be configured to have different model size and run on a wide range of devices. It is open-source and can support phase picking for large-scale dataset or in other speed sensitive scenarios.
