Effect of typical formworks and release agents on aesthetical surface quality of concrete
Authors: Jiang Qian , Yu Cheng , Zhou Maixi
Published: August 2023

This work involved investigating formwork surface characteristics and concrete surface quality. The results show that release agent types and formwork materials have a great impact on the wettability of a formwork–concrete interface, although all the formwork surfaces, with or without release agents, are hydrophilic. Remarkably, inhomogeneous roughness characteristics are only observed for a steel formwork. Plywood and steel formworks have almost the same roughnesses; however, the roughness profile of plywood is sharper than that of steel. Mineral oil always correlates with larger surface voids and higher surface void ratios (SVRs). Steel formworks significantly increase SVR, compared with plywood and plastics formworks. When SVR < 1‰ and the proportion of small voids (<500 μm) > 50%, the concrete surface appears to be bughole-free. Rusty stains left by a steel formwork aggravate concrete discoloration, especially when water-soluble release agents are applied. To improve concrete surface quality, plywood formwork is more favourable, although release agents and vegetable-oil-based emulsion are more suitable for plastics formworks. The surface area roughness of concretes is mainly determined by that of formworks. The typical microgroove feature on a formwork surface leaves no trace on the formed concrete surface; this might be owing to the difference in dimension between microgrooves and cement particles and the presence of release agents.

Authors: KURT Şenay , KOYUNCU Fatma
Published: August 2023

Diploid Citrus × Poncirus hybrids have significantly contributed to citrus rootstock evaluation. In Türkiye, common sour orange rootstock is used in many different climates and soil conditions at almost 85% of citrus plantations, but this rootstock is susceptible to Citrus tristeza virus disease. This study was conducted to improve new rootstock genotypes by traditional hybridization. Common sour orange (CSO) and Common mandarin (Citrus deliciosa Ten.) (CM) were crossed with Troyer citrange (TC) while King mandarin (KM) was crossed with Carrizo citrange (CC). Embryos obtained from crosses were taken on 110, 120 and 130 days after artificial pollination (DAP), and were germinated on MT culture media. The embryos of 120 DAP of combinations had the highest germination rate within CSO×TC, 95.15%; CM×TC, 96.25%; KM×CC, 95.23%. The trifoliate rates for each combination at subculture (CSO×TC, 17.40%; CM×TC, 11.11%; KM×CC; 6.17%) were obtained from 110 DAP embryos. Survival rates of the genotypes were ranged between 72.13% and 90.28% in subculture and varied from 40.17% and 64.71% in the greenhouse. As a result of the ploidy analysis by flow cytometry, the nuclear DNA content of diploid genotypes were found between 0.78 pg/2C and 0.93 pg/2C. One of the genotypes derived from CM×TC hybridization on 120 DAP was determinated as a triploid plant.
It Matters to the Viewer: Social Reviews of Books Adapted for Film
Authors: Thalken Rosamond , Mimno David , Wilkens Matthew
Published: August 2023

On the social reviewing platform Goodreads, reviewers simultaneously assess both book and film when reviewing books with a film adaptation. Using computational methods, we analyze 151,100 Goodreads book reviews about adapted titles and find that the presence of an adaptation alters how amateur reviewers evaluate a book. Through topic modelling, we find three main types of adaptation reviews: the subjective, the critical, and the nostalgic. On close reading, we find that fidelity criticism, a type of criticism that evaluates the success of an adaptation by comparing differences with its source, is common throughout reviews. The fidelity criticism that we find, however, probes into distinct classes of similarities: similarity in plot, characters, bias, and spirit. These reviews are guided by socially constructed “rules” regarding adaptation, including to “read the book first” and that “the book will be better.” Our findings demonstrate how amateur adaptation reviewers navigate social norms about adaptation, but in practice are guided by their personal experiences and preferences, even if that means breaking adaptation norms.Sur la plateforme d'évaluation sociale Goodreads, les critiques évaluent simultanément le livre et le film lorsqu'ils évaluent des livres ayant fait l'objet d'une adaptation cinématographique. En utilisant des méthodes informatiques, nous analysons 151 100 critiques de livres sur Goodreads concernant des titres adaptés et nous constatons que la présence d'une adaptation modifie la façon dont les critiques amateurs évaluent un livre. Grâce à la modélisation des sujets, nous trouvons trois types principaux de critiques d'adaptation : les subjectives, les critiques et les nostalgiques. En lisant attentivement, nous constatons que la critique de fidélité, un type de critique qui évalue le succès d'une adaptation en comparant les différences avec la source, est commune à toutes les critiques. La critique de fidélité que nous trouvons, cependant, explore des classes distinctes de similitudes : similitude de l'intrigue, des personnages, du parti pris et de l'esprit. Ces critiques sont guidées par des "règles" socialement construites concernant l'adaptation, notamment le fait de "lire le livre d'abord" et que "le livre sera meilleur". Nos résultats démontrent que les critiques d'adaptation amateurs naviguent entre les normes sociales en matière d'adaptation, mais qu'en pratique, ils sont guidés par leurs expériences et préférences personnelles, même si cela signifie qu'ils ne respectent pas les normes en matière d'adaptation.

Published: August 2023

Objetivo: Analizar la incidencia de la reformulación del Proyecto Ambiental Escolar (PRAE) en la educación para una ciudadanía ambiental en la escuela colombiana. Metodología: La investigación se desarrolló desde un enfoque cualitativo con la metodología de la Investigación-Acción-Participativa, teniendo como fundamento la perspectiva de Fals Borda. La población estuvo conformada por 11 estudiantes, 4 docentes, 22 padres de familia y 5 líderes comunitarios de una institución educativa. En total participaron 43 personas (21 mujeres, cifra que corresponde al 48,8% de la población estudiada, y 22 hombres, es decir el 51,2% de dicha población). Resultados: El PRAE se asume como una política del discurso para el cumplimiento de la normatividad educativa, más que una acción con-sentida —apropiada por toda la comunidad académica—. Además, se establece una estrategia pedagógica de ciudadanía ambiental mediante la reformulación participativa del PRAE. Conclusiones: La reformulación colectiva fortalece los mecanismos de participación ciudadana y empoderamiento de toda la comunidad educativa para generar propuestas en su territorio desde una visión crítica; camino aún de largo aliento en muchas instituciones educativas.

Stability evaluation of room-and-pillar rock salt mines by using a flat jack technique - A case study
Authors: Majeed Y , Abbas N. , Emad M.Z
Published: August 2023

Room-and-pillar mining is commonly employed for the extraction of rock salt in underground mines. Pillar stress is a major concern in these mines as it is directly related to stability and mineral recovery. In this study a flat jack method was used to measure pillar stresses in three underground rock salt mines in Pakistan. The field work included determination of in-situ stress, in-situ elastic modulus, recording of field variables (pillar length and width, height and width of opening, opening width to height ratio, extraction ratio, and overburden height) and collection of salt block samples. The geomechanical properties of rock salt (uniaxial compressive strength, Young's modulus, Brazilian tensile strength, and density) were also determined to estimate overburden stress, pillar strength, and factor of safety (both estimated and actual). It was found that the measured pillar stresses are proportional to the overburden stress values, with their magnitude ranging from 6.05 MPa to 11.97 Mpa, and the pillars were found to be stable. Regression analysis was performed to develop statistical models for in-situ stress and in-situ elastic modulus. Finally a quick guideline chart was developed to determine the suitable length of pillar for a given span and required level of safety. Keywords: flat jack, room-and-pillar mining, in-situ stress, factor of safety, regression analysis.

In this paper, we provide a class of surfaces called ϵ-isothermic surface in the pseudo-Euclidean 3-space and we introduce the pseudo-Calapso equation. We prove that for each ϵ-isothermic surface, we can associate two solutions to the pseudo-Calapso equation. In particular, we associate solutions to the Calapso, Zoomeron and Davey-Stewartson III equations. In sequence, we classify the Dupin surfaces in pseudo-Euclidean 3-space having distinct principal curvatures and provide explicit coordinates for such surfaces. As application of the theory, we obtain explicit solutions to the pseudo-Calapso equation and from these solutions, we provide new explicit solutions of the Zoomeron and Davey-Stewartson III equations. Moreover, we also provide explicit solutions to these equations that depend on ϵ2−holomorphic functions.

ADAPTATION OF HUMAN HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA (HUH7) CELLS MAINTAINED IN HIGH-GLUCOSE DULBECCO’S MODIFIED EAGLE MEDIUM (DMEM) TO ROSWELL PARK MEMORIAL INSTITUTE (RPMI)-1640 MEDIUM v1
Authors: Lani Rafidah
Published: August 2023

This is a standard operating procedure (SOP) for thawing, cultivating, adapting, and freezing the Huh7 cells by the antiviral laboratory in the Department of Medical Microbiology and the Tropical Infectious Diseases Research and Education Centre (TIDREC), Universiti Malaya, Malaysia. Huh7 cells are actively used in antiviral and cancer research as they offer a suitable environment for the replication of various viruses and serve as a reliable model for hepatocellular carcinoma studies. Like many other cell lines, Huh7 cells can be grown in different types of media depending on the specific requirements of a particular experiment or study. There are instances when one might need to adapt Huh7 cells grown in high-glucose DMEM to RPMI-1640 such as experimental requirements, viral replication, media composition differences, cell physiology and behavior, comparative studies, and standardization across laboratories. Adapting cells from one medium to another is not always straightforward. Cells might initially show reduced growth rates and may need time to acclimate to the new conditions. Proper adaptation procedures should be followed to ensure that the cells remain viable and maintain their essential characteristics during the transition. Regular training and adherence to this protocol will ensure that the Huh7 cells retain their significance as a valuable tool in antiviral and cancer research.

Uncertainties in Broadband Determination of the High-Frequency Spectral Decay, Kappa, in Eastern Canada
Authors: Palmer Samantha M. , Atkinson Gail M.
Published: August 2023

Kappa (the high-frequency spectral decay slope at near-source distances; often referred to as κ0) is determined at 25 seismograph stations in Eastern Canada using broadband ground-motion modeling approaches. The database comprises Fourier spectra (effective amplitude spectrum for the horizontal component and the vertical component, 0.8–40 Hz) computed from 3318 earthquakes of moment magnitude M 1.5–5 recorded on stations within 150 km. Average kappa values for bedrock sites, having shear-wave velocities from 850 to 2400 m/s, are highly variable, ranging from −29 to +21 ms (horizontal) and −28 to +11 ms (vertical), but appear on average to be near-zero. The values obtained are sensitive to methodology, especially the necessary adjustments to the spectra to account for site amplification effects. Kappa values do not appear to correlate well with site parameters such as rock shear-wave velocity, average shear-wave velocity in the upper 30 m, primary wave velocity, site class, type and age of rock, or instrument housing. This lack of correlation may reflect the noted sensitivities to methodological factors. We conclude that kappa values in rock environments are not reliably estimated from such proxies and should be determined from recorded ground motions at a given location. On average, there is little evidence of significant high-frequency attenuation on rock sites beyond that already accounted for in ground-motion modeling by the empirical parameterization of regional Q-related path effects.

Authors: Modi Jenish , Patel Yash , Trivedi Mitesh , Bochiya Girish
Published: August 2023

Background: Wound dehiscence is a very troublesome sequel of impaired wound healing. Despite of medical advances frequency of wound dehiscence in emergency laparotomy remains high due to multiple factors together predisposes. Better understanding of common mechanisms and highly contributing factors will help to keep high risk patients under strict surveillance to reduce the incidence of wound dehiscence.
Methods: The observational study was carried out in 167 patients of above 14 years age at the department of General surgery, SMIMER hospital, Surat between November 2018 to October 2020
Result: 22.15% patients developed wound dehiscence, mean age in dehiscence group was 39.27±9.65 years. Abdominal pain was found in all the patients 100% followed by vomiting 28.74% and fever 13.17%. However, Fever (2.37±1.95 days vs 1.55±1.78 days) and Abdominal distention (1.05±1.06 days vs 0.47±0.87) have statistical significance between Wound Dehiscence and No Wound Dehiscence regarding chief complaints. As a treatment of wound dehiscence, 2 (5.40%) had Re-exploration and 6 (16.21%) had Re-exploration and Tension Suturing in complete wound dehiscence patient group and 29 (78.39%) had Secondary suturing found in partial wound dehiscence. 5.40% of mortality found in Wound Dehiscence group.
Conclusions: Significant risk factors for abdominal wound dehiscence identified in this study are presenting complains like fever and abdominal distension, pre-operative hypoalbuminemia, pre-operative anemia, leucocytosis, renal dysfunction, intra-abdominal sepsis. Use of subcutaneous negative tube is protective for the condition. Hollow viscus perforation patients showed higher vulnerability for wound dehiscence.
Construção da imagem do migrante venezuelano na mídia de Roraima
Authors: Gamboa Vela Norah
Published: August 2023

Nos últimos sete anos, o aumento da migração venezuelana para outros países latino-americanos, como resultado da grave situação econômica, tem sido significativo. A fronteira com Roraima, especificamente Pacaraima e Boa Vista, tem recebido uma onda migratória importante, o que tem exigido respostas dos governos federal e regionais. Visualizar como é construída a imagem dessa migração, e as subjetividades relacionadas a ela, geradas por meio das mídias digitais no estado de Roraima, é o propósito deste artigo. Partimos da ideia de pensar as mídias como sistemas de poder e de formação de opinião, que produzem seus discursos, suas narrativas e, por meio delas, incidem nas formas de perceber o mundo e “normalizar” realidades. No contexto migratório atual, a participação da mídia tem um peso fundamental, ao colocar sua visão sobre como e por que esses deslocamentos estão ocorrendo. Nesse processo, quando se trata de produção jornalística as imagens são as primeiras a serem percebidas, juntamente com as manchetes, que é o principal formato em que esses discursos circulam nas mídias digitais. Para entender como ocorre essa construção, realizamos uma leitura discursiva transmidiática** priorizando manchetes de notícias e fotografias e algumas partes do texto, com uma amostra do que foi publicado entre os anos 2020 e 2022, no portal e redes sociais do Jornal Folha de Boa Vista.
Mais humanos do que o estereótipo:
Authors: Ribeiro dos Santos Andrey Augusto
Published: August 2023

Este artigo traz uma análise sobre a representação do terrorista no cinema pós-11 de setembro, mais especificamente no recorte compreendido entre os anos de 2005 e 2013. O terrorismo há muito é um tema explorado por obras cinematográficas, disseminando uma série de representações sobre este tema, o que acreditamos ter sido ainda mais impulsionado após os atentados contra as Torres Gêmeas ocorridos em setembro de 2001. Considerando isto, este trabalho utiliza um grupo de filmes lançado entre os anos de 2005 e 2013 para analisar como a imagem do terrorista foi retratada nestas produções. Para alcançar este objetivo cremos que o método comparativo seja de profunda importância, permitindo a observação de semelhanças e diferenças presentes nos personagens em diferentes filmes.

Collaboration in Innovation between Foreign-Owned Firms and Local Organizations in Latin America: A Comparative Analysis
Authors: Álvarez Isabel , Albis Nadia , Moraes Diego , Mora Henry
Published: August 2023

This paper explores patterns of collaboration in innovation between foreign firms and local partners in nine Latin American countries. Using microdata from the harmonized Latin American Innovation Surveys dataset (LAIS) and the Spanish Technological Innovation Panel (PITEC) for comparison, the approach considers factors at micro, meso, and macro-levels to identify and illustrate knowledge flows between local and foreign firms in host countries. The empirical evidence presented shows that technological strategies of foreign subsidiaries, sectoral innovation patterns, and national innovation conditions are key elements in shaping local innovation collaboration with foreign-owned firms. Nonetheless, micro and country-side effects still overshadow sector differences. This study indicates that when foreign investment is focused on creating and increasing the technological capabilities of an MNE, collaboration can strengthen the likelihood of positive knowledge spillovers in local economies. In the Latin American context, differences emerge depending on the types of partners engaged in collaboration, whether R&D, or other firms. National systems of innovation also come into play in defining collaboration patterns of foreign-owned firms, especially in systems with greater technological capabilities. This comparative perspective therefore provides new insights regarding attraction of foreign direct investment (FDI) and innovation policies in the region.
Can Online Platforms Promote Women-Led Exporting Firms?
Authors: Pool Jennifer P. , Volpe Martincus Christian
Published: August 2023

How can policymakers promote women-led exporting firms? In this paper, we study the role of online business platforms to reduce informational barriers to exporting for women entrepreneurs. We hypothesize that, if the costs associated with accessing digital platforms are more symmetric across gender than traditional trade costs, digital trade platforms can play an important role in making trade more gender equal. To assess this hypothesis, we combine information on firms' participation in ConnectAmericas , a free and purely informational online platform, and detailed firm level export data of a developing country over a long period. We find that participation in this platform is associated with a significantly larger increase in exports for women entrepreneurs than for men managed firms in otherwise identical products and destinations. Given existing evidence on the role of women managed businesses in reducing gender earnings inequality, these results suggest that policies which encourage women participation in online environments to reduce the informational barriers associated with operating in foreign markets have the capacity to promote gender equality more broadly.

The rapid changes that the world is witnessing after the beginning of the Russian special military operation have left their mark on the entire world, as they have affected most of the world’s economies and policies, as well as imposed a new, tangible reality and alliances that can pave the way for the formation of a new world order different from the existing one, whose main pillars are multipolarity and liberation from US hegemony as a major superpower. This paper shows that a new phase of political pragmatism in Saudi Arabia has begun, its title is diversification of relations and full openness to the countries of the world, including Russia and other major countries. In addition to the emergence of awareness of the self-capabilities and real levers that the kingdom possesses, through which it can influence the course of politics in the region and the world, also striving not to forfeit the mighty economic power that it possesses and not to employ it in the service of the Americans who exploited the country for a long time and prevented it from real development, they also prevented its leadership from deviating from the framework set by the American policy for them. The importance of the stage is in the golden new opportunities that have emerged with the great global developments that Saudi Arabia and Russia can, if they act correctly, move the relationship to a new level with all the real possibilities required for them as published by the author that would make a change leap that he believes, is becoming needed to meet the realistic needs of the two countries, the region and the world.
Iran and Israel: Dangerous Wars in the Middle East
Authors: Ahmedov Vladimir M.
Published: August 2023

The paper studies evolution of different aspects in Iran–Israeli relations in the Syrian crisis. Basic developments of Iran Israeli confrontations and analysis of its specific are retrospectively shown. The author examines key internal and external factors, influencing the nature of Iran–Israeli conflict and the character of its development. The author argues that regional and international environment determined the character of Iran–Israeli conflict more than religious and cultural differences of the two nations, while the perceptions of external threats and defense of the national suzerainty and territorial integrity played critical role in Iran–Israeli conflict. The author stresses that in the first three years of Syrian crisis Tel Aviv’s stand towards Iranian support of Al-Assad’s regime was neutral in character, but further developments in the Middle East led to further confrontations between Iran and Israel. This very fact was drastically demonstrated in 2021–2022 after military confrontation between Tehran and Tel Aviv had taken new forms and influenced other Middle East countries and Caucasian region. New developments in Iran–Israeli crisis complicated situation in the region and created potential threats for lunching a new war on the Middle East. In 2023 Iran–Israeli contradiction persisted, although positive developments in regional situation emerged. Measures taken by leading regional and international powers formed perspectives for cooling down the hostilities in the international relations in the Middle East that might result in lessening tension in Iran–Israel relations.
Iyomante: The Ainu Bear Festival in Hokkaido and Sakhalin
Authors: Chernetskaia Polina I.
Published: August 2023

The Ainu are a folk whose history, origin, way of life, traditions and beliefs have been attracting close attention of scientists for more than a century. From an ethnographic and historical point of view, the Ainu have a very difficult and sometimes dramatic fate. Nevertheless, despite all the colossal difficulties, unfavorable geographical and political conditions, the Ainu manage to survive as an ethnic group. One of the main conditions for their survival is the maintenance of traditional rituals. One of the ancient customs, which the Ainu still revere, is the famous Bear Festival. The striking distinguishing features of this cult were the cultivation of an animal in captivity and its subsequent slaughter. Although the Iyomante rite of the Ainu was also applied to other animals, the bear occupied the most important place in their life. Despite numerous ethnographic and historical studies concerning the Ainu, the tradition of the Bear Festival is recorded in detail only by two scientists — Bronislaw Pilsudski and John Batchelor, who lived among the Ainu for a long time, studying their life, history, culture, and religious beliefs from the inside. In this regard, the features of the Bear Festival of the Sakhalin Ainu are viewed here based on the views of Bronisław Piłsudski and the specifics of the Hokkaido Ainu Bear Festival is based on the research by John Batchelor. Overall, the specific features of the ceremonial events turned out to be quite stable, despite the geographical and political division, the harsh climate, and the lack of writing system. In addition, the tradition of the bear cult (widespread among many peoples) in the form of a Bear Festival helped the Ainu people to survive as an ethnic group to this day.
Yury N. Roerich on the Spread of Indian Visual Images along the Great Silk Road
Authors: Shustova Alla M.
Published: August 2023

The paper discusses the studies of Yury N. Roerich (1902–1960) in the field of Central Asian art. In his opinion, the Great Silk Road should be considered not only as a caravan road providing trade routes between the countries of the ancient and medieval world, but also as an important arterial system of cultural interchange. The Kushan Empire, founded by the Tochars, who adopted Buddhism as the dominant religion, played a special role in the development of the art of the Great Silk Road region. Buddhism began to spread along the arteries of the Great Silk Road, forming a belt of Buddhist culture of great extent, based on Indian art, rethought by the masters of local traditions. According to Yury N. Roerich, this process should be considered a unique historical and cultural phenomenon. In 1923–1928 Yury N. Roerich made a great journey as a member of his father’s Central Asian expedition. Part of the expedition ran along the ancient routes of the Great Silk Road. During the expedition, the scholar managed to explore dozens of Buddhist art masterpieces, described, and photographed some of them. Yury Roerich believed that Central Asia, the Western and Eastern Turkestan regions became a kind of melting pot, where the interconnected and synthesized Indian, Iranian, and Chinese artistic styles, influencing the Buddhist art of Tibet, as well as the Chinese art of the 13th–14th centuries of Yuan and Ming Dynasties.

В статье проведен комплексный анализ становления и развития гражданства в Российской Федерации, проведен краткий анализ законодательства советского периода, а также особенности развития законодательства о гражданстве на современном этапе развития нашего государства, также выявлены некоторые актуальные проблемы категории гражданство, порядка приобретения гражданства, а именно то, что в настоящее время не установлен конкретный размер законного источника средств. Так, в статье выявлена проблема, что вФедеральном законе «О гражданстве Российской Федерации» указано, что высокие достижения лица, желающего получить гражданство Российской Федерации, в области науки, техники и культуры могут сократить срок проживания до одного года. Однако, данное определение - вопрос полностью неурегулированный, так как отсутствует раскрытые положения о том, что представляют собой высокие достижения в указанных областях. Аналогичная проблема возникает при реализации положения части 3 статьи 13 рассматриваемого Федерального закона, нормы которой определяют, что лицо может получить гражданство Российской Федерации без соблюдения условий части 1 статьи 13 при наличии особых заслуг, дефиниция которых также не раскрыта.
