Of Animatronic Praise Bands and Worship-Leading Chickens: The Serious Business of Evangelical Christian Worship Parody Videos
Authors: Ingalls Monique
Published: February 2022

Worship music parody videos are one of the key elements within evangelical Christian “joking culture.” The musically facilitated “worship experience” is among evangelicalism’s most sacred rituals, and worship parody creators must carefully negotiate the line between humor and profanity. Drawing from textual analysis of selected blogs, forums, and YouTube comments, this article demonstrates the comedic and serious roles these videos play. Worship parodies demonstrate how evangelicals employ humor around one of their most sacred practices to question the boundaries of what is sacred, engage in discourse about power and morality, mediate internal disagreements, and shore up a shared religious identity.
Influence of roughness of pipes surface on flow capacity and energy efficiency of gas pipelines operation
Authors: Serediuk М. D.
Published: February 2022

Long-term operation of main gas pipelines, the presence of water and mechanical impurities in the transported gas lead to erosion and corrosion damages to the inner surface of pipes, which causes an increase in its roughness. The increase in roughness results in an increase of the hydraulic resistance of natural gas pipelines, as well as affects theirs transport and energy consumption parameters. To manage the regimes of operation of main gas pipelines it is necessary to adequately predict their flow capacity and energy consumption for natural gas transportation under real values of pipe roughness which is higher than designed ones. On the basis of gas-dynamic equations of the steady-state gas movement the regularities of the influence of the pipe surface roughness on the hydraulic energy consumption of gas transportation at constant gas flow in the section of the gas pipeline are established. The regularities of the influence of the pipe surface roughness on the hydraulic efficiency coefficient of the gas pipeline section under idem difference of squares of inlet and outlet gas pressure values are clarified. It is established that the value of hydraulic efficiency coefficient of the gas pipeline section for specified value of absolute equivalent roughness of the pipe surface actually does not depend on the pipe inner diameter and slightly depends on the flowrate in the gas pipeline. The method of capacity and energy efficiency determination of the gas-dynamic system called compressor station – pipeline section for the increased pipe inner surface roughness in comparison with its designed value is proposed. The method involves mathematical modelling of gas-dynamic characteristics of centrifugal compressors, thermohydraulic calculation of the pipeline section taking into account the actual roughness of the pipe, consideration of pressure and gas flowrate technological limitations as well as energy consumption determination taken per unit of work lost in transport

Published: February 2022

The use of alternative fuels in internal combustion engines poses a number of difficulties associated with the adaptation of the engine and its systems. However, the prospect of using alternative fuels has significant economic and environmental feasibility, and therefore is extremely important. Therefore, the issue of studying the main performance indicators of engines in the process of using biodiesel fuel RME B20 is relevant. From the analysis of literary sources, it was found that diesel engines are promising for the use of biodiesel fuel. The efficiency of these engines largely depends on the main parameters of mixture formation, which have not been sufficiently investigated for RME B20 fuel. In the process of using B20 biodiesel fuel on a Renault 2.5 DCI engine with a decrease in the fuel spray angle to 60o, it was established: a decrease in engine torque by 12.5%; drop in effective power to 15.7%; reduction of the effective pressure in the engine cylinders up to 24.8%; increase in specific effective fuel consumption up to 15%. This is due to the fact that with a decrease in the fuel atomization angle, the contact area of the fuel drops and air in the engine cylinders decreases. And this, in turn, worsens the mixture formation process and leads to incomplete combustion of the fuel-air mixture. With an increase in the spray angle of the fuel to 750, the efficiency of using B20 biodiesel fuel on the Renault 2.5 DCI engine increases. Therefore, according to the results of studies of the operation of the Renault 2.5 DCI engine on commercial and biodiesel fuel RME B20, it was found that the use of biodiesel fuel leads to a deterioration in mixture formation due to which heat generation decreases, as a result, fuel consumption increases, and engine power, and torque decrease. To improve these indicators, it is necessary to change the mixture formation process by increasing the fuel atomization angle to 750.

The article considers the problem related to the ambiguity of logging results, which is reflected in the reduction of the efficiency of certain interpretive methods, and as a consequence of oil and gas reservoirs omission. In this regard, the analysis of the results of gamma logging, spontaneous polarization methods, nuclear magnetic logging, were conducted. The received information of experimental researches of cores, has allowed establishing the reasons of distortion of radioactive and electric logging indications which considerably influence on size of radioactive and electric fields intensity. In addition, the efficiency of gamma-spectrometric method and nuclear magnetic resonance is substantiated. It is established that the matrix of rocks of Neogene sediments contains minerals of sulfides, oxides, which include iron, copper, aluminum. That determines the electronic conductivity of oil and gas saturated layers. Different from clarke, the contents of uranium, thorium and potassium were determined in the matrix of the above mentioned rocks according to the results of gamma spectrometry. These elements affect the value of the natural intensity of hydrocarbon-saturated rocks’ radioactive field. A method for determining the carke content of radioactive isotopes of uranium, thorium and potassium with the calculation of their ratio was developed to unambiguously assess the nature of the increased radioactivity of Neogene rocks. The results justify the use of the latest technological methods for gamma spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance in the allocation of productive rocks. Well research by NMR can be effectively performed with the help of NMLE-3 (nuclear magnetic logging equipment), and gamma spectrometry can be conducted with the help of SGSM-2.

The methods of  factorial experiment and regression analysis have been applied ad hoc to search the optimum combinations of technological parameters for the salvage operation with the help of a drilling jar. The factors chosen are the percussive mechanism striker travel, the length of drill collars in the drill assembly and the discharge force. The response functions on the matrix of the central rotatable composite design for three main factors have been obtained. The functions are the relationships between the maximum and minimum internal forces at the upper boundary of the grip and the factors. Based on the dependencies, the response surface of the parameter values ​​has been obtained. The influence of each factor on the corresponding parameters of the salvage operation has been graphically analyzed. It has been noted that the change in the discharge force has a weakly nonlinear effect on the impact parameters, and the influence of the other two factors has a pronounced extremum. The conditions which lead to the salvage operation shock mode traversing to pulse-wave one have been formulated. Recommendations on a choice of the salvage operation technological parameters forNaftogaz of Ukraine subsidiaries depending on various categories and types of the sticking have been formulated.Cases of the effective use of a drilling jar have been reported. Requirements for the drilling jar design have been formulated. It is proposed to replace the imported Hydra-jar with the construction in the form of two separate structures with mechanical locking pairs to create selective "up-down" strikes. The BHA design with two drill jars to realize the effect of shock wave acceleration has been proposed.

Published: February 2022

The modern energy market is characterized by the transformation of oil and gas companies in the direction of world energy decarbonization. The oil and gas industry diversifies its activities by combining traditional and renewable energy technologies in a single organizational structure. Oil and gas companies are investing heavily in renewable energy.  The drive of the same equipment both with the help of renewable energy sources and by burning traditional hydrocarbons allows attracting the advantages and minimizing the individual disadvantages of using both directions of energy production. The presence of significant experience, developed infrastructure and skilled labor resources allows the renewable energy equipment use in the oil and gas fields of existing companies. The integration of renewable generation technologies into oil and gas is one way to meet the growing demand for energy while reducing environmental pollution.  The modern oil and gas industry is characterized by the use of solar photovoltaic systems, wind turbines, concentrators of solar and geothermal energy, biofuels.  The use of renewable energy sources contributes to improving the energy efficiency of well drilling, oil and gas production, methods of intensification of oil and gas production and refining. The Ukrainian oil and gas sector plans to expand its presence in the renewable energy market by producing biogas and hydrogen and attracting the existing gas transmission system for their transportation. Given the global trends of the economy decarbonization, one can predict the gradual transformation of oil and gas companies into energy ones.

Physical resilience, the capacity to respond to and recover from a stressful event, declines with advancing age. Individuals respond differently to physical stressors across their lifespans. While the biological underpinnings of resilience remain unclear, a plausible determinant is the capacity of an individual’s cellular and molecular levels to return to homeostasis after a physical challenge. Impaired resilience may not only be a consequence of aging but could also be a contributing factor to the aging process. Therefore, resilience at relatively younger ages could be predictive of future health and lifespan. By utilizing standardized physical challenges and measuring stress response patterns, the relative resilience of individuals can be quantified and classified. Current preclinical research suggests that several physical stressors could be used to measure resilience in clinical aging studies. A mechanistic understanding of why some individuals are more resilient to physical stressors than others could help identify protective factors and therapeutic ways to promote healthy aging.

O Bubalino é mais sensível que o bovino à radiação solar direta e ambientes com altas temperaturas. Apesar da adaptabilidade às mais variadas condições ambientais, os búfalos possuem particularidades estruturais e funcionais específicas. O controle da temperatura em um dado organismo é chamado de Termorregulação. O balanço de energia térmica presente em um animal homeotérmico, tal como um bubalino e dado pela taxa de produção de calor liberada nos processos metabólicos, ou seja, na oxidação dos alimentos ou das reservas corporais menos o ganho de calor através da radiação de ondas curtas, as trocas de energia térmica por radiação de ondas longas e os fluxos de calor por condução, por convecção respiratória e por convecção na superfície do pelame que pode se mecanismos de ganho ou perda de calor, onde irá depender da diferença de temperatura entre animal e ambiente, e as perdas de calor latente através da evaporação cutânea e respiratória (SOUZA JR, 2008).

Tersilochinae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) of Vietnam, Part 2: genus Barychemis Forster, 1869
Authors: Khalaim A.I.
Published: February 2022

The genus Barycnemis Forster, 1869 (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Tersilochinae) is most abundant and species rich in the Holarctic region where about 35 species are known, i.e. 15 species in the Nearctic region and 26 in the Palaearctic region. Beyond the Holarctic region, one species occurs in Central America, two in the Oriental region and one in Australia. Only two species of Barycnemis were recorded from the Oriental region till now: B. dissimilis (Gravenhorst, 1829) from Nepal and B. sanctijohanni (Rao et Kurian, 1951) from North India. Nothing was known about the occurrence of the genus Barycnemis in Vietnam until present day. In this paper, two species of Barycnemis, B. dissimilis and B. liliputana sp. nov., are found to occur in Vietnam. Barycnemis liliputana sp. nov., with body length 1.6 mm and fore wing length 1.4 mm, is the smallest known tersilochine species. The new species may easily be recognized by its extremely small size, very slender antennal flagellum with only 14–16 flagellomeres and highly polished head and mesosoma. It resembles B. gracillima (Thomson, 1889) occurring in Europe, Caucasus and Kazakhstan as both have a similar head and slightly depressed ovipositor, but B. liliputana differs from this species, in addition to the characters listed above, by its slender first metasomal segment with small glymma (similar to those in B. dissimilis and B. tobiasi Khalaim, 2004) and slender legs. Barycnemis dissimilis is also recorded from Taiwan and North India. The genus Barycnemis is recorded from Vietnam and Taiwan for the first time. An identification key to the two Barycnemis species occurring in Vietnam is provided.
The Analysis of Debt-Threshold: Empirical Evidence from Pakistan
Authors: Minhajuddin  , Gul Brekhana , Khan Muhammad Sohail Alam
Published: February 2022

This paper intends to analyze the debt threshold for Pakistan over a period of 1976-2020 within the framework of the ARDL bounds testing approach. ADF and PP tests of stationarity confirmed that the extracted data set was stationarity either at level or at first difference. The F-bound test validated the presence of long-run co integration. This paper finds that the curve for the bi variate quadratic function is strictly concave and that the debt in flexion point is 48.42 percent of the gross domestic product. It implies that the marginal effect of debt turns negative beyond this level of debt. Findings suggest that government should ensure to acquire external debt up to the debt-in flexion point that would enhance the economic growth. Government should also work on fiscal consolidation and substituting the required burden of debt with alternate sources of revenue like FDI, grants, and international trade.

Authors: PÉREZ-VÁSQUEZ ALEXANDER
Published: February 2022

La colocación de implantes en el sector anterior de la mandíbula, ha originado complicaciones respecto a la cercanía del foramen lingual (FL) y sus canales óseos. Se ha reportado secuelas por deficiente planeamiento y/o desconocimiento de la anatomía de la zona, tales como parestesia o sangrado intra operatorio. Se han realizado investigaciones en diferentes latitudes (a excepción de Latinoamérica) con el fin de caracterizar esta estructura. Objetivo: Caracterizar el FL mandibular mediante Tomografía Computarizada de Haz Cónico (TCHC) en pacientes que acudieron al Servicio de Radiología Oral y Maxilofacial de la Clínica Dental Docente de la Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia Lima – 2017. Materiales y métodos: Se evaluaron 255 TCHC, y se determinó la distancia desde la cima del reborde alveolar hasta el FL, la longitud del FL, la ubicación respecto a las apófisis geni, la existencia de conductos accesorios y se determinó las características del FL respecto al sexo. Resultados: El 54,22 % (n=122) pertenecían al sexo femenino y el 45,77 % (n=103) al masculino. La distancia desde el FL hasta el reborde alveolar tuvo un promedio de 17,4mm ± 4,08; la longitud del FL tuvo un promedio de 8,54 ± 2,06. El FL estaba por encima de la apófisis geni en un 82.22 % (n=185) y un 17,78 % (n=40) estaba por debajo. En cuanto a los conductos accesorios el 53,33 % (n=120) presentaron un solo conducto 53,33 % (n=120) y el 46,67 % (n=105) más de dos conductos. Conclusión: El sexo femenino presentó mayor distancia desde el reborde alveolar hasta el FL y un mayor número de conductos accesorios.

Der ungleiche Wert geringqualifizierter Arbeit. Erwerbschancen in der Bau- und Reinigungsbranche
Authors: Gonon Anna , John Anna
Published: February 2022

Fehlende formale Qualifikationen wirken sich negativ auf Erwerbschancen aus, insbesondere für Frauen. Während die Forschung bisher vor allem makrostrukturelle Faktoren beleuchtete, nimmt dieser Beitrag die Mesoebene in den Blick und fragt danach, wie die Erwerbschancen Geringqualifizierter durch branchenspezifische Formen der Beschäftigung und Arbeitsorganisation beeinflusst werden. Durch den Vergleich zweier geschlechtersegregierter Branchen, dem Bau- und Reinigungsgewerbe in der Schweiz, wird aufgezeigt, wie Systeme der kollektiven Lohnverhandlung, Strategien des Personaleinsatzes sowie Regeln und Praktiken der Beförderung und Weiterbildung zu ungleichen Erwerbschancen beitragen. Analytisch knüpft der Artikel an die Theorie der Unterschätzung von Frauenarbeit an und konzipiert Erwerbschancen als Resultat unterschiedlicher Konstruktionen des Werts von Arbeit. Als empirische Grundlage dienen qualitative Interviews mit Arbeitgebenden, geringqualifizierten Arbeitskräften und Gewerkschaftsvertretern. Zudem wurden die Kollektivverträge der beiden Branchen analysiert. Der Fokus liegt auf Generalunternehmen der Baubranche und auf der Unterhaltsreinigung. Während sich Erstere durch hohe Mindestlöhne sowie institutionalisierte Aufstiegsmöglichkeiten auszeichnen, ist Letztere durch niedrige Löhne, Unterbeschäftigung und mangelnde Möglichkeiten der beruflichen Weiterentwicklung geprägt. Der Beitrag belegt die Vielschichtigkeit der Faktoren, die auf der Ebene von Branchen und Betrieben die Erwerbschancen von Geringqualifizierten beeinflussen.
Das Bedürfnis nach Gewissheit und Konkretion. Rekonstruktionen der Orientierungen von Mathematikstudent*innen im Hinblick auf die Reformerwartung Inklusion
Authors: Court Laura , Dohmen Tobias , Baumanns Lukas , Rott Benjamin , Herzmann Petra
Published: February 2022

Angesichts bildungspolitischer Reformbestrebungen, das Schulsystem verstärkt inklusiv auszurichten, stellt sich die Frage, wie sich angehende Lehrer*innen als zukünftige schulische Akteur*innen mit inklusionsspezifischen Anforderungen auseinandersetzen. Mit Bezug zu strukturtheoretischen Bestimmungen pädagogischer Professionalität wird im Rahmen eines Projekts zu Fachlichkeits- und Inklusionsorientierung anhand von Gruppendiskussionen mit Mathematikstudent*innen dokumentarisch rekonstruiert, wie die Befragten fach- und inklusionsspezifische Herausforderungen thematisieren. Dabei lassen sich trotz einer geteilten formalen Strenge der Befragten in Bezug auf Mathematikunterricht unterschiedliche Orientierungen hinsichtlich der Reformerwartung Inklusion aufzeigen. Diese Orientierungen bewegen sich zwischen kritischer Distanzierung zu Vorstellungen von einer inklusiven Praxis einerseits und einer Ungewissheit antizipierenden Akzeptanz in der Umsetzung inklusiven Unterrichts andererseits.
Die Studieneingangsphase internationaler Studierender: Hochschulzugangswege und die Vorbereitung auf studienspezifische Anforderungen
Authors: Falk Susanne , Helmkamp Michelle , Thies Theresa
Published: February 2022

Internationale Studierende an deutschen Hochschulen weisen eine hohe Heterogenität im Hinblick auf ihre vorherigen Bildungserfahrungen auf. Je nach Herkunftsland, Art des Schulabschlusses und der angestrebten Studiengangssprache müssen sie (neben studiengangsspezifischen Zulassungskriterien) zusätzliche Bildungsnachweise erbringen, um an einer deutschen Hochschule zugelassen zu werden. Diese Studie untersucht, ob bestimmte vorherige Bildungserfahrungen und -abschlüsse sowie Sprachkenntnisse mit der Einschätzung einhergehen, insgesamt besser auf studienspezifische Anforderungen vorbereitet zu sein. Datengrundlage ist eine deutschlandweite Befragung von internationalen Studierenden, die ein Studium an einer deutschen Hochschule aufgenommen haben. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass es zwischen Bachelorstudierenden mit unterschiedlichen Hochschulzugangsberechtigungen (erlangt an einem deutschen Studienkolleg vs. einer Schule im Ausland) keine signifikanten Unterschiede hinsichtlich der Vorbereitung auf studienspezifische Anforderungen gibt. Bachelorstudierende mit Studienerfahrung (d. h. bereits absolvierte Hochschulsemester oder Hochschulabschluss im In- oder Ausland) oder mit hohen Sprachkenntnissen in Deutsch und Englisch fühlen sich besser auf die Studienanforderungen an einer deutschen Hochschule vorbereitet.
