In the contemporary business landscape, digitization has become
imperative for competitiveness. Despite the perspective of employees regarding
the accessibility of electronic human resource management (e-HRM), their
ability to adapt to the digital age still causes many problems. This study explores
employee understanding of digital transformation within the HR department of
an IT company and identifies priority processes for automation. The research
addresses the ambiguities in the literature, focusing on the rapid technological
advances of Industry 4.0. Through semi-structured interviews, we reveal new
perspectives directly from HR employees. The results indicate the need for strategic
approaches to ensure efficient processes and traceability. Recommendations
include integrating an integrated strategy of digital solutions. Anticipating future
needs alongside present needs is crucial for sustainable digitization strategies,
improving competitiveness in the digital age.

Published: May 2024

ABSTRACTIntroduction: One of the sectors that has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic is dentistry. There is a significant chance that an intraoral radiographic examination will facilitate the spread of the COVID-19. One of the radiographers' efforts to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus is to carry out infection control. The application of infection control performed by radiographers is influenced by many factors. This study aimed to analyze differences in the application of infection control in intraoral radiographic examinations during the COVID-19 pandemic in various healthcare facilities. Methods: This study conducted was an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design. The research was conducted using a questionnaire consisting of 13 statement items. Thirty intraoral dental radiographers who were employed in radiology departments at various healthcare facilities participated in the study as respondents. The research data that had been collected was then tested using the One Way Anova test to find out the differences in the application of infection control by radiographers from each healthcare facility. Results: The results of the study indicated that the significance value was 0.314 (p>0.05), which means that there was no significant difference in the score category for each healthcare facility. The lack of complete respondents from all different kinds of existing healthcare facilities was still a weakness of this study. Conclusion: During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was no discernible difference in how each healthcare facility implemented infection control during intraoral radiographic examinations.KeywordCOVID-19, healthcare facilities, infection control, intraoral radiographs, radiographers

Authors: Tertya Bertha Bening , Kristiana Dewi , Naini Amiyatun
Published: May 2024

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Mangosteen peel extract can be used as a denture cleaning agent to effectively inhibit the growth of C. albicans because mangosteen peel contains various compounds such as mangostin, tannins, flavonoids, saponins. Denture cleaning materials that will be used in the dental field must meet biocompatibility requirements, one of which is a toxicity test. The aim of this study was to analyze the toxicity of mangosteen peel extract as a cleaner of heat cured acrylic resin denture on BHK-21 as cell culture of fibroblast cells. Methods: Toxicity test used the MTT assay method. Acrylic resin samples had a diameter of 3 mm and a thickness of 2 mm. The acrylic resin was soaked for 4 days, equivalent to soaking 15 minutes per day for 1 year in mangosteen peel extract with concentrations of 50, 60, 70%, and sodium hypochlorite. Analyzed data using normality and homogeneity test results showed (p<0.05). Kruskal Wallis test results (0.000<0.05) and Mann Whitney (0.000<0.05). Results: The greatest cell viability value was shown in mangosteen peel extract with a concentration of 50%, namely 97.16939%. Based on research data, it can be said that the lower the concentration of mangosteen peel extract, the lower the level of toxicity of a denture cleanser agent. Mangosteen peel extract in concentrations of 60, 70%, and sodium hypochlorite are toxic when used as a denture cleanser. Conclusion: Mangosteen peel extract with a concentration of 50% is not toxic to BHK-21 fibroblast cells as cell culture of and as a cleaner of heat cured acrylic resin denture on.Keywordheat-cured acrylic resin, mangosteen peel extract, MTT assay.
Intentional Author as a Subject of Virtual Communication (Content of Corporate Websites News)
Authors: Kim L. G. , Ustinova M. V.
Published: May 2024

This study explores the “image of the virtual intentional author” in the news discourse of corporate websites. A comparative analysis of materials from corporate websites of Kemerovo State University and Siberian Coal and Energy Company is conducted. Subjective, predicate-actant, and locative-temporal components are identified. Typical and specific semantic components are named. The typical shared components include the following meanings: “I am a significant subject of the Russian space”; “I represent a collective of professionals”; “I engage in volunteer and charitable activities”. Each of the considered organizations’ intentional author image is characterized by specific features. The intentional author of the university’s news content realizes the following modal meanings: “I am not only a leading university in the region but also part of global rankings, serving as a center for scientific, social, volunteer activities, etc. in the region”, thus, the virtual author communicates the intention to present the university as a significant subject of the Russian educational space. The   intentional author of the energy company’s news content conveys meanings such as: “I am the best production organization”; “I am competitive”; “I am socially oriented”; “I interact with authorities and public organizations”.
Mythologization of Image of Marat Kirov in Novel “Sleep and Believe. Blockade Novel” by A. Turgenev
Authors: Lobin A. M.
Published: May 2024

This article presents the results of an analysis of the character system and plot-forming conflicts in the novel by Andrei Turgenev (Vyacheslav Kuritsyn) “Sleep and Believe. Blockade Novel.” The overall state of military-historical prose at the turn of the 20-21 centuries was examined. The main historical myths about the blockade were characterized. An overview of researchers' perspectives on the genre, plot, and poetics of this work was conducted. It was established that A. Turgenev’s novel is part of a postmodern historical discourse, where the metaphysics of the “Petersburg text” intertwines with the most odious myths about the Leningrad blockade (abuses of leadership, arbitrariness of People’s Commissariat of Internal Affairs of the USSR, cannibalism, etc.). Analysis of the text allows us to assert that the central myth and main character of the novel is Marat Kirov, a fictional secretary of the Leningrad Regional Committee. He embodies current historical myths about the blockade, as well as about the real leaders of Leningrad — S.M. Kirov and A.A. Zhdanov. In depicting Kirov, the author widely uses contrast and hyperbolization techniques, as well as numerous references to the “Petersburg text.” As a result, the degree of hyperbolization and demonization fostered by A. Turgenev actualizes the traumatic experience of the entire Soviet history and allows associating the image of the fantastic Marat Kirov with Peter the Great.
Image of Celestial Firmament in Poetic Cosmology of “Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka”
Authors: Potashova K. A.
Published: May 2024

This study explores the features of poetic cosmology in N. V. Gogol’s tales from the cycle “Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka”. It examines the poetics of the nocturnal landscape and the symbolic richness of celestial space. The functions of light details in poetic depictions of the universe are identified. Special attention is paid to portraying the Universe as a visible expression of the problem of good and evil, which serves as the core theme of the entire cycle “Evenings...”. It is argued that celestial space is not only a central landscape image but also a distinct ontological category. The study reveals that for the cycle “Evenings...”, two contrasting models of the universe — harmonious and chaotic — play a significant role, based on the relationships between earth and sky. Earth and sky, as two coordinates of the universe, can form a cohesive picture for Gogol, where earthly space is revealed through celestial beauty. Celestial space can be understood as a kind of screen onto which human potential for spiritual transformation or sorrow due to its absence is projected. Beneath Gogol’s primary aestheticization of the daytime and nighttime universe lies a philosophical depth in his paintings, prompting reflections on human earthly journey, the sinfulness of earthly existence, and the aspiration towards the heavens, which generates the image of the disconnection between earthly and celestial realms.
Themes of Love and Solitude in Contemporary Azerbaijani Women’s Prose
Authors: Tarverdiyeva S. E.
Published: May 2024

The article examines the representation of themes of love and loneliness in women’s prose in Azerbaijan. It is noted that the literary works of women in different countries have gained particular relevance at the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st centuries. The novelty of the research lies in identifying key themes raised in the works of several leading Azerbaijani female writers, who are not well known to a wide circle of Russian readers. The creative works of A. Masud, Farida, and A. Gyulnel are analyzed, with themes of love and loneliness being the focus of the study. It has been established that the thematic content of the works exhibits a traditional character typical of women’s prose: the quest for love by women and men, contemplation of issues of loyalty and betrayal, and solitude. It is shown that the characters in their pursuits do not find understanding from those around them. The absence of love drives A. Masud’s characters to madness (“Fatima” novel), physical death (“Aysun” story), or moral decline (“The Boss” story). In Farida’s work “Silent Birds”, the issue of the influence of ancient cruel traditions on the relationships and fate of young people is raised. In “Cactus” by A. Gyulnel, the heroine suffers from loneliness due to the lack of parental love. The author concludes that the variety of issues raised by female authors is imbued with the idea of the tragedy of human existence without love.
Urban Environment Design in Youth Slang Interpretation: Linguo-Axiological and Lexicographical Aspects
Authors: Vasilyeva K. V. , Nikitina T. G. , Rogaleva E. I.
Published: May 2024

The linguistic and axiological potential of unofficial urbanonyms reflecting the realities of the urban environment as a design space is evaluated. The research tasks include identifying typical and non-standard objects and motifs of evaluative urbanonymic nomination, developing optimal methods for describing interregional nominative parallels and unique slang terms in the dictionary of unofficial urbanonyms. The material sources consist of dictionaries of youth slang, author’s archives of spoken language, and internet communications (2010—2024). The semantics of slang terms-urbanonyms were clarified using componential and contextual analysis methods. Parameters of their lexical description were developed using the method of lexicographical construction. Based on slang material from Pskov and St. Petersburg involving unofficial urbanonyms from Ufa, Volgograd, Novosibirsk, and other cities, the evaluative attitude of nominators towards design projects embodied in architectural structures, memorial objects, street sculpture, and monumental painting is demonstrated. Interpretations, comments, and contextual illustrations in the presented fragments of the projected dictionary reveal the specificity of the nominator’s imagery associations when implementing various ways of slang formation: playful transformations of official names, references to precedent phenomena, metonymic and metaphorical transfers and their combinations.
Evolution of State Scientific and Technical Policy in USSR in Late 1960s
Authors: Bodrova E. V. , Kalinov V. V. , Krasivskaya V. N.
Published: May 2024

This study conducts a comparative analysis of the state of the scientific and technical complex of the USSR and leading Western countries in the 1960s based on declassified archival materials. It identifies the main trends in science and technology during this period and the factors that led to the lagging behind of the USSR. Previously unpublished archival documents are introduced into scholarly discourse. It is demonstrated that the data sent to the country’s leadership by leading specialists and scientists of the Academy of Sciences indicated the USSR’s lag in several crucial directions determining the pace of scientific and technical progress. Key hindering factors cited by experts included insufficient funding, lack of coordination among various agencies, absence of interaction between the defense and civilian sectors of science, and planning miscalculations. The conclusion is drawn that this list can be supplemented with reasons such as inadequate competence of some top-level government officials, departmental approach, shortage of specialists in key areas, and disregard for recommendations from leading scientists. Meanwhile, trends in the development of the scientific and technical sphere in the USA and other leading countries indicated the establishment of national innovation systems as highly effective mechanisms for accelerating scientific and technical progress.

Published: May 2024

This study examines the leisure activities of Nizhny Novgorod residents during the NEP era. Various forms of urban leisure and their connections to state ideology are characterized. A total of 31 sources were analyzed, including legislative sources, statistics, and periodicals. Sources included articles from criminal and administrative codes, statistical data, and Nizhny Novgorod press. An overview of Nizhny Novgorod periodicals from 1921-1924 is provided. Results of a comparative analysis of legislative materials, statistical data, and periodicals are presented. Emphasis is placed on the ways and methods of shaping urban culture in line with state ideology. The issue of deviant behavior among city dwellers and its causes is raised. It is highlighted that new holidays aimed to replace religious celebrations. The study shows that the values of the urban community were influenced by ideological beliefs and spread through new leisure forms. It is proven that the structure of urban festivities contributed to the establishment of new societal values. The authors conclude on the significance of organized leisure in creating a socio-cultural urban environment. The role of periodicals in popularizing urban leisure forms is demonstrated. The relevance of the study lies in exploring the connection between ideology and the organization of urban leisure.
Molecular and Epigenetic Impacts of Pesticides on the Female Reproductive System: A Review
Authors: Alawiyah Kamila , Anggraini Dian , Mubarok Wildan , Hardestyariki Dwi
Published: May 2024

Pesticides, primarily originating from agricultural activities, have raised environmental and health concerns due to their suspected effects on the female reproductive system. Despite their widespread application, a significant research void exists concerning their implications for human female reproductive health. This review provides comprehensive information on the adverse effects of pesticides on female reproduction, focusing on their molecular and epigenetic mechanisms. In general, these adverse outcomes include ovarian dysfunction, hormonal irregularities, the onset of endometriosis, and an increased risk of stillbirths. From a mechanistic perspective, pesticides can interfere with the endocrine system, catalyze the formation of reactive oxygen species, and induce oxidative stress. At the molecular level, certain pesticides can act as hormone mimics, disrupting the normal hormonal balance. Moreover, they can trigger epigenetic shifts, leading to alterations in non-coding RNAs, histone configurations, and DNA methylation patterns. These epigenetic alterations not only have an immediate impact but can also be passed on to subsequent generations. Highlighting these concerns, this review underscores the urgent need for stringent regulations and aims to catalyze future in-depth studies on the relationship between pesticides and female reproductive health.
Facilitation of Young Mosque Activists to Strengthen Moderate Religious Attitudes by Studying The Interpretation of Quran Verses
Authors: Kurnia Rina , Nurkhalizah Alya , Fazriyah Siti Iannatul , Munandar Arief Pratama
Published: May 2024

The study's objective is to enhance the mosque youth's moderate religious stance by examining how the verses of the Koran are interpreted. This study employs descriptive approaches in a qualitative manner. Teenagers who belonged to the youth community of the Al-Falah mosque served as the research's informants. Techniques for gathering data include observation and interviewing. After studying the interpretation of the ayat-ayat al-Qur’an that discuss religious moderation, such as Qs. Al-Baqarah 256, the effects of the mentorship are that there is a shift in the understanding and attitude of religious moderation. The teens at Al-Falah Mosque were first ignorant of the concept of religious moderation because their school and surroundings were exclusively Muslim. The understanding and attitude of religious moderation among youth in mosques changed after talks and a series of mentoring activities. This was demonstrated by the youth's loyalty to their country, their mutual respect, their tolerance and respect for differences, their nonviolent approach to resolving conflicts, and their willingness to participate in and be open to local culture. Religious moderation is crucial because it can unite disparate ideological viewpoints and foster harmony. Religious moderation is an endeavor to restore comprehension of religion in accordance with the values of respecting and maintaining the dignity of religious individuals.
Typology of Islamic Movements in Indonesia 18-19 Century
Authors: Toipah Toipah , Fiza M. Syakir Ni'amillah
Published: May 2024

The study explores the typology of the Islamic movement in Indonesia in the 18th to 19th centuries with a focus on resistance to Dutch colonialism, education, as well as tasawuf and tarekat aspects. The phenomenon of religious revivalism, especially in the growth of the practitioners and tarekat, was closely linked to the rise of the people of Hajj in the 19th century. Dutch colonial politics, in its attempt to humanize Indonesia from Islam, used Western education as its primary tool. The process of secularization occurs as a result of the penetration of Western influence into the education system, forming secular groups that tend to support non-religious organizations. The emergence of the Islamic modernist movement as a result of the diversification of the movement, especially in the fields of law, leadership, and conflict between custom and religion. Political developments show the accommodation and polarization between the traditionalist and modernist groups, shaping the diversity of Islamic movement in Indonesia. The study uses a library method with a qualitative approach, analysing contemporary historical sources related to the Islamic movement in Indonesia during that period. The results identified the typology of the movement based on its patterns and characteristics, including political, economic, educational, tasawuf, and tarekat. Various events of resistance to colonialism are described, such as the Padri Movement (1819-1837) in Minangkabau, the Diponegoro War (1825-1839) in Java, the Banjarmasin War, and the rebellion in Banten influenced by the Qadiriyah tarekat wal Naqsyabandiyah. Educational institutions, especially gymnastics, have become the focus of the Islamic movement. The importance of the role of tasawuf and tarekat in motivating resistance against colonial oppression is illustrated, for example, through the network of tarekat Syatariyah in the Java War. In conclusion, the Islamic movement in Indonesia in the 18th to 19th centuries involved complex typologies, covering aspects of resistance, education, and spirituality, shaping the dynamics of Indonesian Islamic history.
REFLEKSI FILOSOFIS HUKUM PERKAWINAN BEDA AGAMA DI INDONESIA
Authors: Binawan Al. Andang Listya
Published: May 2024

Artikel ini adalah refleksi filosofis atas problematik hukum perkawinan beda agama di Indonesia. Hukum perkawinan beda agama ibarat titik-temu dari berbagai gagasan filosofis tentang manusia, hukum, perkawinan, agama, dan negara. Karena itu, artikel ini bertolak dari pertanyaan: apa pandangan filosofis yang bisa ditarik dari hukum perkawinan beda agama di Indonesia? Dengan refleksi filosofis, dapat dicari jalan keluar yang lebih tepat. Dengan metodologi penelitian pustaka akan dicermati hubungan dari unsur-unsur itu. Mengingat Indonesia bukan negara sekuler tetapi juga bukan negara agama, pemikiran Max Scheler akan dijadikan pisau refleksi karena tampak sesuai dengan cara pandang Indonesia tentang negara, agama, perkawinan, dan pribadi manusia. Dengan itu akan tampak ’lubang-lubang’ (lacunae) dalam problematik hukum perkawinan campur beda agama di Indonesia. Pemahaman tentang hal ini diharapkan membuat hukum perkawinan campur beda agama bisa ditata dengan lebih baik. Pun, akan tampak bagaimana suatu perkecualian hukum itu diperlukan agar hukum tetap dapat menjamin keadilan.
Plant communities in drainage ditches – conditions, characteristics and environmental functions
Authors:   Department of Technology in Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Environmental Sciences, Bialystok University of Technology, Wiejska 45E Str., 15-351 Białystok, Poland, Kiryluk Aleksander
Published: May 2024

Ditches and drainage canals are an important element in the post-bog meadows. Their basic function is to regulate air-water relations in ecosystems, mainly in agrocenoses. The environmental functions of ditches and canals consist of maintaining a large diversity of flora and fauna species due to high humidity of these ecosystems. The study of plant communities in the ditches in the post-bog meadows habitat of the Supraśl Dolna valley structure in 2010–2020 was carried out. There were 23–27 species of plants in the ditches. Species diversity did not change significantly during this period, while changes in individual species’ coverage and viability were found. The species were classified into two rush communities: reed rush ( Phragmitetum australis) and rush ( Phalaridetum arundinaceae). As a result of the lack of maintenance of the ditches, an invasive species of flapped barbed ( Echinocystis lobata) was found. The natural valorization carried out by the Oświt method showed that plant communities in the drainage ditches are in the lowest valorization classes.
Heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in leachates from autothermal thermophilic aerobic digestion as a potential threat to the environment in north-eastern Poland

This paper presents the concentrations of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and heavy metals in leachates from the autothermal thermophilic aerobic digestion (ATAD). The leachates from ATAD installations (Dąbrowa Białostocka, Hajnówka, Pisz, Olecko, Giżycko, Wysokie Mazowieckie) located in Poland were tested. The concentrations of PAHs in samples from Pisz, Giżycko, Wysokie Mazowieckie and Hajnówka were similar to those in industrial wastewater. The cluster analysis confirmed that in sites with a higher polyethylene (p.e.) input from the industrial sector, the leachates were more contaminated with PAH compounds. In samples from Dąbrowa Białostocka, Olecko, Pisz and Hajnówka, the heavy fraction of PAHs compounds prevailed over the light fraction. Concentrations of heavy metals in leachates from ATAD varied. The Ward’s method isolated the wastewater treatment plant in Giżycko. The p.e. from the industrial sector was the highest for this facility. Also, the samples from ATAD had the highest total concentration of heavy metals (5.87 mg/l). The leachates from ATAD are returned to biological systems of municipal sewage treatment plants, where they can be combined into more toxic compounds. Biological wastewater treatment processes do not ensure the removal of PAHs and heavy metals from the wastewater. As a result, harmful compounds can get into the water or ground, polluting the environment.
Identification of pollution sources in the Narew River catchment using multivariate statistical methods
Authors:   Bialystok University of Technology, Department of Technology in Environmental Engineering,15-351 Białystok, Wiejska 45E Str., Poland, Ofman Piotr
Published: May 2024

The aim of the statistical analyses carried out was to identify similarities and to point out differences between the various tributaries of the Narew River, to identify the factors and processes responsible for the transformations occurring in the aquatic environment and finally, to identify the main sources of pollution in the river catchment. For the purposes of statistical analysis, the results of studies conducted as part of diagnostic monitoring by the General Inspectorate for Environmental Protection in 2017–2018 were used. The studies included 8 measurement points located directly on the Narew River and 17 points located on its selected left and right tributaries. Analysis of the collected results indicates that the chemical condition of the water in the Narew catchment is assessed as being poor. This observation may be due to the fact that the Narew catchment is mainly used for agricultural purposes and, in addition, there is a relatively large number of potential anthropogenic sources. As part of the analysis, two potential sources of pollution affecting water quality in the Narew catchment were identified, which include surface run-off and treated wastewater inflow.
Riccia spores in Quaternary deposits; fossil evidence from Polish sequences

The manuscript presents fossil records of Riccia spores in the Quaternary deposits. They are rarely reported and identified to the species level during routine pollen analysis. In the available sequences 5 species, including R. cavernosa, R. beyrichiana, R. sorocarpa, R. crinita and R. bifurca were noted. The occurrence of spores in fossil records proves the existence of temporary wet habitats characteristic both for natural environments (e.g. temporary dry lake shores or peat bogs) as well as habitats resulting from human activity, e.g. microhabitats in crops and pastures or trench walls. The spores recorded in sequences present an opportunity for discussion of their potential use as proxies in palaeoenvironmental reconstructions
Against level-3-only analyses in corpus linguistics
Authors: Gries Stefan Th.
Published: May 2024

In the last few decades, much work in corpus linguistics has attempted to discover, and then interpret, differences in the frequencies of use of linguistic elements (words, patterns, constructions, discourse features, etc.). It is probably fair to say that such studies were particularly frequent in (i) learner corpus research, (ii) corpus-based varieties research, and (iii) sociolinguistically motivated studies. For instance, many studies have discussed the differences in how often certain elements are used (i) in corpus data from native speakers vs. corpus data from learner from different L1 backgrounds, (ii) in corpora representing different inner- and outer-circle varieties, or (iii) by speakers in corpora representing people of different gender or sexual identities.

This paper will make the admittedly bold claim that any such study can in fact by definition unable to ‘prove’ what is often their main points, namely that the distributional differences found are in fact due to the one hypothesized explanatory variable(s) of L1, VARIETY, or, e.g., GENDER even when the distributional differences are significant and come with a decent effect size. To substantiate this claim, I will discuss some terminology from the family of methods known as multi-level modeling, namely the distinction between level-1, level-2, ... level-n variables and its relevance for many corpus studies. Second, I will then demonstrate how studies using only the above kinds of variables cannot distinguish the effect of their favored predictors from the effect of local/contextual level-1 variables. Third, in discussing this, I will exemplify how such effects need to be explored quantitatively instead.
Mapping shared lexical bundles onto rhetorical moves in nursing research articles: A comparative study of paradigmatic variation
Authors: Yang Mei
Published: May 2024

Previous studies have identified frequent lexical bundles associated with qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods research paradigms. These paradigmatic investigations of lexical bundles conducted thus far seem to have two limitations. One is that they have primarily concentrated on distinctive lexical bundles, without much analysis of the shared bundles in qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods research paradigms. Another shortcoming is that they tend not to explore in which contexts lexical bundles are likely to occur. These two problems deserve attention, as shared bundles are also frequently used to facilitate fluent linguistic production and analysing lexical bundles in their surrounding contexts can help reveal their specific textual meanings. To address these two limitations, this study seeks to link shared lexical bundles with rhetorical moves based on a corpus consisting of qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods nursing research articles. The findings of this study show that in certain move-steps, shared lexical bundles have distinctive discourse functions in mixed methods research. Meanwhile, the findings also show that there are move-steps where shared lexical bundles have similar discourse functions in two or three research paradigms. Revealing shared lexical bundles’ discourse functions in specific contexts may enable learners to know where to use the bundles in a text.

Published: May 2024

Production of pagoda mustard greens is currently still limited, while market demand is increasing. For this reason, it is necessary to increase the yield of pagoda mustard plants through hydroponic with optimization of nutrition and media. This study aimed to determine the plant responses to the application of AB Mix nutrient concentration and growing media types, as well as the effects of their interaction on the growth and yield of pagoda mustard greens. The research was conducted in June-July 2022 at a Screen House in Ciwidey, Bandung, at an altitude of 1,200 meters above sea level. The research used a factorial completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications. The first factor was the concentration of AB Mix nutrients 1,050; 1,150; and 1,250 ppm, and the second factor was the growing media rockwool, cocopeat, sponge, and rice husk charcoal. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and further tested using the Least Significant Difference (LSD) at the 5% level. The results showed that AB Mix nutrient with a concentration of 1,250 ppm or rockwool planting media was able to increase the growth and yield of pagoda mustard greens, but there was no interaction between the two treatment factors.

There are few experimental studies on rotating detonation engines (RDEs) with liquid propellants. This study reveals the static thrust performance of a cylindrical RDE with ethanol and liquid nitrous oxide as propellants under atmospheric pressure. This RDE had an inner diameter of 40 mm, a maximum combustor length of 230 mm, a nozzle contraction ratio of 1.7, and a nozzle expansion ratio of 9.1. Nineteen experiments were conducted at total mass flow rates of [Formula: see text], mixture ratios of 3.6–5.9, and combustion pressures of 0.35–0.46 MPa, resulting in a maximum detonation velocity of [Formula: see text] (approximately 80% of the theoretical detonation velocity, [Formula: see text]), maximum thrust at sea level of 294 N, and maximum specific impulse at sea level of 148 s. In addition, the maximum characteristic exhaust velocity, [Formula: see text], was [Formula: see text], which was 99% of the theoretical value. The characteristic length of the combustion chamber at this time was 0.15 m. Since conventional rocket combustion requires 1.57 m to achieve the same [Formula: see text] efficiency, this study shows that detonation combustion can reduce the combustor size by 88%.
Tandem Energy-Analyzer/Mass-Spectrometer Measurements of an Ionic Liquid Ion Source

Ionic liquid ion sources (ILISs) produce charged particle beams by using a strong electric field to extract and accelerate molecular ions and ion clusters from liquid propellant. The wide variety of emitted species and the fragmentation of metastable ion clusters lead to broad distributions of energy and mass among plume species. Quantifying those distributions is critical to understanding ILIS physics and ILIS performance in a particular application. Here, we use an electrostatic energy analyzer in tandem with a mass spectrometer (EA/MS) to measure mass spectra for various energy ranges in the plume of an ILIS operating with the electrospray propellant [Formula: see text]. Those spectra were used to calculate energy distributions for major plume species, probed at the entrance of the EA/MS instrument. Those measurements suggest that 12% of the plume (by current fraction) is composed of species formed by ion clusters that fragment more than once prior to reaching the instrument. For the first time, we estimate the composition of the plume within the electric field of the ion source from experimental measurements. That analysis shows that at least 10% of plume current was emitted as trimers, and more than 3% was emitted as larger species.
Low-Order Modeling of Stacked Rotor Performance in Hover
Authors: Johnson Chloe , Sirohi Jayant
Published: May 2024

Coaxial, corotating (stacked) rotors have shown improved performance compared to conventional rotors, but the optimum configuration is highly sensitive to the rotor parameters. This paper reports the development of a low-order model, blade interaction prediction (BLIP), to efficiently predict the thrust and power of closely spaced rotor blades and quantify the effects of rotor geometry on total and individual stacked rotor performance. BLIP couples a vortex panel method and blade element momentum theory to combine the effects of bound circulation and rotor inflow. A cascade effect in the two-dimensional vortex panel method was implemented to incorporate the effect of airfoils rotating in a circle. Validation was performed with measurements of a 1.108-m-radius fixed-pitch stacked rotor with variable axial and azimuthal spacing, and excellent correlation was observed. It was found that small azimuthal angles and axial spacings are most effective in varying total thrust. The variation of thrust and power with azimuthal spacing was found to be a result of bound circulation, while the variation with axial spacing is due to rotor inflow interactions.
Antiwindup Compensation for Unstable Rigid-Body Systems with Quantized and Saturated Inputs
Authors: Richards Christopher M. , Turner Matthew C.
Published: May 2024

It is well known that actuator saturation can cause destabilization and degradation in performance; similar problems are encountered when actuation is quantized. This study proposes the design of an antiwindup compensator for systems with actuators that are limited to a finite number of quantization levels. This combination of discrete-level actuation and saturation poses a unique antiwindup problem that has not yet been solved. To surmount this combined issue, an antiwindup compensator is proposed, which provides ultimate boundedness of the system state within a prescribed region and guarantees that the state does not stray outside a larger compact set. The use of shifted ramp functions enables a less conservative bound on the control-signal error, which yields significantly lower [Formula: see text] gain bounds compared to a standard sector-bound antiwindup design approach. A numerical simulation example illustrates the effectiveness on a rigid-body system, which inspired this study.
Hot Corrosion Damage Modeling in Aeroengines Based on Performance and Flight Mission
Authors: Pontika Evangelia , Laskaridis Panagiotis , Nikolaidis Theoklis , Koster Max
Published: May 2024

Hot corrosion is a form of chemical damage that causes surface degradation, sound material loss, and reduced component life. A lifing analysis in aeroengines without considering hot corrosion can lead to unexpected damage findings and increased scrap rates due to blade thickness loss beyond repair. This paper presents a novel methodology to predict hot corrosion damage based on aeroengine performance and flight mission analysis while taking into account environmental exposure, fuel quality, and material factors. The participating mechanisms, from salt and sulfur ingestion to deposition and hot corrosion attack, are discussed to explain the phenomenon in aeroengine components. In the investigated engine type, the first stage of the low-pressure turbine is the most affected. The application of the new methodology provides insights into the damage progression during the flight, the most affected components and the importance of capturing variations in the fuel quality, environmental exposure at the flight region, and the thrust derate policy. For a representative 1500 n mile mission, the variations in environmental exposure, fuel quality, and derate policy within typical limits can result in up to +350% damage. The outputs of the new framework can inform the decision making for maintenance, repair, and overhaul contract costing and scheduling.
Song 7:2–6 [Eng: 1–5] as a Symphony of Poetry, Metaphor, and Passion
Authors: Chau K D
Published: May 2024

Song 7:2–6 is (in)famous for how the man describes his beloved, from feet to head, with one seemingly ridiculous metaphor after another. While the aesthetic sense of these metaphors may seem odd to westerners, it was highly unlikely to be such for its original audiences. Thus, the fundamental question for biblical scholars, especially those concerned with metaphor is: How does the poet employ the visual similarities in the metaphorical imagery to allow readers/hearers access to how the man both perceives and conceptualises the physical beauty of his beloved? In other words, how can we as readers take the metaphors seriously without obliterating the metaphorical imagery? This article seeks to answer this question by employing a complexity approach which integrates poetic rhythm (additionally borrowing the concept of deceptive cadence from music), linguistic approaches to poetic parallelism, the use of emotion in lyric poetry, and metaphor analyses. This symphony of analyses hopes to explain how the metaphors function as a unity within the poetry’s rhythm, building toward a peak to express the man’s desire and excitement for his beloved. It concludes by offering an interpretation of the final verse’s interpretively difficult description of the woman’s hair as crimson, explaining how the woman’s head as Mount Carmel during a fiery sunset serves as a fitting conclusion to the poem that provides a befitting climactic closure for conveying the man’s desire for his beloved.
Determinants of Marketing of Handloom Products Across Heterogeneous Weaving Business Units: A Study of Rural Assam
Authors: Faruque Saddam , Guha Pradyut
Published: May 2024

Success in marketing plays an important role in the growth and extension of rural non-farm informal sectors. The present study made an attempt to understand the marketing success among diverse groups of handloom weaving business units and factors determining the marketing of handloom products through the lens of weaving business units in rural Assam. Besides descriptive and inferential statistics, multiple linear regression method was applied for the analysis of data. The results of the study show that the success of marketing in terms of sales volume and revenue was significantly higher among the master weavers. Factors like years of schooling of handloom weaving entrepreneurs, business experience, working hours, storage capacity, advance payment requirement, number of handloom competitors in village, transportation cost, communication expense, and proximity to market significantly influenced the marketing across heterogeneous weaving business units in the study area. Steps towards the improvement of rural market infrastructure and road connectivity by taking a slew of suitable policies by Central and state governments may allow the rural handloom weavers to get better access to the market, which in turn, may assist in the promotion of sales.
