High-Speed Cyclic Voltammetry Regressions Using Machine Learning
Authors: Rosser Darik , Leonard Kevin
Published: January 2025

The ability to rapidly regress the kinetic parameters from cyclic voltammograms is important for many laboratory automation endeavors. Inspired by how expert electrochemists can rapidly interpret cyclic voltammograms simply by their shape, here we show that convolutional neural networks (similar to those used in handwriting analysis) can successfully regress both the kinetic rate constant and transfer coefficient of cyclic voltammetry data. This type of machine learning models obtained 93.6% five fold cross validation accuracy, and could obtain both the kinetic rate constant and transfer coefficient in a few milliseconds. This is in comparison to over 3000 seconds using an optimization protocol with finite elemental analysis to regress the kinetic parameters via solving the governing differential equations. This advancement will be very useful for many electrochemical applications where high-throughput experimentation is necessary.

Published: January 2025

Secondary school teenagers' social retreat was examined in relation to self-efficacy and gender. The study is guided by two goals, two research questions, and two research hypotheses. It was conducted using a descriptive research correlational design. 100 youths were randomly selected from five senior secondary specialised schools. The General Self-Efficacy Scale by The University of Kansas Center (2015) r = 0.86; and the Social Ability Deficiency Scale (SADS/SPS) by Akinade (2017) r = 0.17 were used to collect the data.  The Pearson Product Moment Correlation and T-test were used in the study to formulate and test two research hypotheses. Results showed that there is a very strong positive relationship between self-efficacy and social withdrawal (p. 0.05 < r.cal. = 0.863), but there is no significant relationship between male and female adolescents’ social withdrawal behaviour (p. 0.05 < t.cal. = 31.318). Based on the results, the study concluded that self-efficacy has a significant positive relationship with social withdrawal among secondary school adolescents. The study also concluded that female adolescents were more affected by social withdrawal behaviour than their male counterparts. Based on the conclusion, the study recommends, among others that the school management set aside a day for adolescents to engage in co-play. The school counsellors should organise a conference for female adolescents to orientate them more on self-evaluation in order to help them be aware of social withdrawal behaviour symptoms and how to build on their self-efficacy.
Reality Counseling Approach to Reducing Students Learned Helplessness (Experimental Study on Class IX Students at SMPN 2 Sobang 2023/2024 Academic Year)
Authors: Sumarni Nunung , Widiatmoko Mualwi
Published: January 2025

This research aims to determine the effectiveness of reality counseling services using a group counseling setting to reduce students learned helplessness. This research uses a quantitative method, a quasi-experimental design type. The sample and population of the study were class IX students of SMPN 2 Sobang who were divided into experimental groups and control groups. The data collection technique used was a learned helplessness questionnaire prepared by researchers, while hypothesis analysis used the Wilcoxon test using SPSS 25 software for Windows. The results of the study showed that after being given treatment there was a difference in the average pre-test and post-test scores. Hypothesis testing using the Wilcoxon test results obtained by Asymp. Sig (2-tailed) is 0.029 < 0.05. The interpretation that can be concluded is that there is a difference in the learned helplessness scores of the control and experimental classes. Thus, it can be interpreted that reality counseling is effective in reducing students' learned helplessness.
Statistical analysis of technical specifications of self-propelled reversible plate compactors with different types of engines
Authors: Afanasev M. A. , Tyuremnov I. S.
Published: January 2025

Introduction. Reversible plate compactors are soil compaction machines with a flat operating device, having two or more unbalanced shafts and ability to reverse the direction and movement speed. Reversible plate compactors may be driven by gasoline, diesel or electric engines. The efficient operation of reversible plate compactors is only possible with the rational selection of technical specifications, such as oscillation frequency and driving force of the vibration exciter, base plate width, engine power, etc. To establish correlations between the technical specifications of reversible plate compactors, to assess the influence of the engine type on the main parameters and to identify the areas for improving this type of equipment, the statistical analyses was conducted.

Materials and methods. 484 models of reversible plate compactors were scrutinized. The information on the models were obtained from official websites of plate compactors manufacturers and their dealers. Data processing was performed in Microsoft Excel.

Results. The variation ranges of the main parameters were determined and regression equations for correlations between the oscillation frequency of the vibration exciter, the driving force, the width of the base plate, the relative exciting force and the mass of reversible plate compactors were derived. Correlation coefficients were obtained for each regression dependence. The influence of the engine type on the variation range of reversible plate compactors’ main parameters was analyzed.

Conclusion. The type of engine has almost no effect on the parameters of reversible plate compactors in the corresponding mass ranges. Relatively low correlation coefficients let us suggest that manufacturers do not have reliable methods for justification of the technical specifications of reversible plate compactors. The obtained correlations may be recommended for verification of some technical specifications of reversible plate compactors. In recent decades, the values of oscillation frequency and relative exciting force have increased significantly, which affects the nature of interaction between a reversible plate compactor and soil.
Optimization of technical productivity of a bulldozer unit in terms of traction and speed parameter
Authors: Troyanovskaya I. Р. , Grebenshchikova О. A.
Published: January 2025

Introduction. Industrial tractor units differ from agricultural tractor units by the greater weight of the working equipment, a wide range of soil conditions and the cyclicity of the technological cycle. An integral part of the operation of bulldozer units is slippage, which is not regulated by GOST. However, large amounts of slippage result in a drop in operating speed and technical performance. Therefore, the approaches developed for optimizing the productivity of tracked agricultural tractor units (where slippage is regulated at 5%) require clarification. The aim of the study is to determine the influence of specific traction-speed characteristics of a bulldozer unit on its technical productivity.

Materials and methods. Technical productivity was defined as the ratio of the volume of developed soil to the time of the working cycle. The volume of developed soil was expressed through the specific traction indicators of the tractor unit. The time of the working cycle was expressed through the speed indicators of the tractor unit. As a result, the dependence of technical productivity on the specific traction-speed indicators of the industrial tractor unit was obtained.

Results. The analysis of this dependence showed the presence of a clearly expressed maximum, which for the bulldozer unit is observed at 18% slippage. Optimal specific traction efforts for various soil conditions were determined. The evaluation of the speed indicators of the bulldozer unit showed the possibility of additional increase in technical productivity due to the growth of the operating speed.

Conclusions. A productivity coefficient has been obtained that allows comparing the technical indicators of tractor units of different classes. It has been established that for bulldozer units with a semi-rigid suspension, operating on dense soils, the optimal specific traction efforts are 0.75...0.89. Further increase in technical productivity is possible by increasing the working speed while maintaining (or increasing) the ratio of idle speed to working speed.

Published: January 2025

High concentrations of gonadotropic serum were primarily found in the mare’s blood serum. Con-sequently, the amount of serum obtained after blood collection from pregnant mares depends on the volume of blood collected, which increases the chances of obtaining a greater quantity of gonado-tropic hormones. Therefore, the effectiveness of these methods for isolating gonadotropic serum from the blood of pregnant mares was investigated. It was found that the most effective method for isolating gonadotropic serum from the blood of pregnant mares is the use of 5% and 7.5% citric acid solutions. By introducing a new technology into agricultural biotechnology that accelerates serum release, the volume of hormonal serum with high gonadotropic activity increased on average by 55.8 ± 0.5%, showing a 9.1 ± 0.9% improvement over traditional methods. For the first time, a procedure for using citric acid solu-tion has been incorporated into the technology for extracting serum from the blood of pregnant mares. This improved approach accelerates the extraction process and increases the serum volume by 1.7 ± 0.1 ml. Gonadotropic activity of the blood serum obtained using various solutions was studied. It was found that the solutions used to isolate serum from the blood of pregnant mares have a significant impact on the activity of the resulting hormonal preparation, with serum activity ranging from 144.5 IU/ml to 244.7 IU/ml. The gonadotropic activity of blood serum obtained using a general citric acid solution ranged from 80.5 IU/ml to 100.2 IU/ml, compared to the solution of acetic acid and sodium chloride. These studies demonstrated the advantage of using citric acid solutions for the efficient and rapid extraction of gonadotropic hormones from the blood of pregnant mares.

This work explores the role of Ca2+ in the regulation of epileptiform activity of neurons. The research was carried out on a unique setup that allows simultaneous recording of neuron electrical activity and measurement of calcium ion concentration changes by optical method. The uncovering of the mecha-nisms of Ca2+ ions influence on the parameters of epileptiform activity is an important step in the control of this complex process and opens new ways of pharmacological correction of hyperexcitation. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of Ca2+ ions in the regulation of epileptiform neuronal activity. The result of the research with the use of intracellular calcium buffer BAPTA established the dependence of the amplitude of slow depolarisation, the duration of the paroxysmal depolarisation shift cluster and the amplitude of action potentials of different types of neurons on the concentration of Ca2+ ions in the cytoplasm. Decreasing the amplitude of Ca2+ pulses during epileptiform activity while accumulating tude occurs in the GABAergic neuron without a change in the duration of the action potential burst, while in the glutamatergic neuron the duration of the cluster decreases without a change in amplitude. The depolarising pulse of the cluster in the first case is independent of Ca2+ concentration, while in the second case it is due to a Ca2+-dependent process (opening of a Ca2+-dependent depolarising channel). Thus, this work shows for the first time different mechanisms of action of intracellular fast Ca2+ buffer in glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons, which is an important step in understanding Ca2+-dependent mechanisms of regulation of epileptic brain activity.

ABSTRACT
The subject of the study is the relationship between the Russian regions and the Federal Center for Environmental Policy and environmental protection. The purpose of the work is to establish the expediency of expanding the legal framework of the subjects of the Russian Federation to solve environmental problems, taking into account the specifics of the regions and the possibilities of socio-economic development. The impact of existing and developing national projects aimed at solving environmental problems is considered, the need to expand the capabilities of regions/subjects, taking into account regional peculiarities of environmental policy, to achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and the 2036 national development goals is justified. It is shown that municipalities play an indispensable role in the implementation of the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities living in fragile aquatic ecosystems and native habitats. It is proposed to consider as a priority the acceleration of the transition of Russia and other major emitters of CO2 emissions to comply with the deadlines set by UN documents. It is noted that high-quality healthy ecology is not only a global public, but also a national and territorial good, measures to protect which must be provided for when developing new national projects "Environmental well-being" and "Infrastructure for Life". It is concluded that in Russian statistics it is advisable to expand the reporting system on the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals related to environmental protection. It is proposed to consider cooperation in countering threats to environmental balance as the main direction of cross-border cooperation between Russian regions and territories of neighboring countries.
Krzywda zamknięta w ciele. Transgeniczny przekaz tarumy w wałbrzyskiej dylogii Joanny Bator ("Piaskowa Góra", "Chmurlandia")
Authors: Orzechowska Adela
Published: January 2025

The main aim of the article is to analyze Joanna Bator's novels (Piaskowa Góra, Chmurdalia) from the perspective of intergenerational inheritance of trauma (postmemory). The author focuses on such aspects of trauma as dissociation, imprisonment in the past, the compulsion to repeat traumatic events and the difficulty of articulating a complicated past. In Joanna Bator's novels, trauma is particularly clearly manifested in the area of motherhood. The article analyzes how it affects relations between women in the family, with a particular focus on the biological aspects of trauma inheritance (epigenetics) and relational trauma. It describes the mechanisms that accompany trauma resulting from sexual violence. The author incorporates family systems theory and attachment theory and mentalization into the novel's analysis. Furthermore, it takes a look at the characteristics of the third generation, which is able to integrate the difficult past into the family narrative and reintegrate its history, and thus break the transmission of intergenerational trauma.

Published: January 2025

The current conditions of globalization processes have significantly changed consumer behavior in relation to the purchase and consumption of food. This situation encourages market participants to seriously change their approaches to working with consumers, which should be based on the study of consumer preferences. At present, this transformation is of particular interest in the main markets, including the market of meat and meat products. This article attempts to study changes in consumer preferences for meat and meat products in modern conditions of market transformation. Special attention is focused on such a parameter as product quality. In the course of the study, a method of evaluating the consumer’s decision to purchase meat and meat products was proposed, taking into account the main factors of choice. The survey was conducted in a number of cities of the Russian Federation. During the study it was found out that the concept of product quality is an important aspect in the choice of meat and meat products, although in modern conditions the consumer has begun to pay more and more attention to many criteria of product evaluation before the purchase. The relationship between the income level and the number of significant parameters characterizing the quality of the product is noted. The study also examines the main risk parameters of consumption of meat and meat products by end consumers. The practical significance of the research lies in the possibility for the companies operating in this market to create successful marketing strategies and to significantly make the manufactured products of the quality necessary for the consumer.
Chaos, Fractals and Bifurcation in Real Dynamics of Two-Parameter Family Associated to Logarithmic Functions
Authors: Singh Shaurya Pratap , Sajid Mohammad
Published: January 2025

The purpose of this article is to provide bifurcation diagrams and observe chaotic behaviour in the real dynamics of two-parameter family of function \(\Phi(x)=x+(1-\lambda x)\ln(ax): x>0, \lambda>0, a>0\). We consider here parameter a is a positive and continuous real parameter while λ is positive but a discrete real parameter. The dynamical properties of this nonlinear system family analyze numerically as well as graphically by using fixed point iterative method. Bifurcation diagrams for the real dynamics of the function are plotted by varying the values of the parameter which are fractals in nature. Also, we show that chaos exists in the dynamics of the function by looking at period-doubling in the bifurcation diagram. Further, chaotic behaviour studies by simulation of the positive Lyapunov exponents which observe by varying the parameters similar to the bifurcation diagrams.
THE INFLUENCE OF THE LOCALIZATION OF POSITIVE SURFACE TEMPERATURE ANOMALIES IN THE EQUATORIAL PACIFIC OCEAN ON THE PROPAGATION OF WAVE ACTIVITY FROM THE TROPOSPHERE TO THE STRATOSPHERE IN MODEL EXPERIMENTS
Authors: Sobaeva D. A.
Published: January 2025

During an El Niño event an area of intense convection is formed above the area of positive sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. This leads to the formation of a Rossby wave, which propagates from low to high latitudes and can lead to changes in largescale atmospheric circulation in mid-latitudes and, as a consequence, to a change in the vertical wave activity flow from the troposphere to the stratosphere. In recent decades, a new type of El Niño – El Niño Modoki – has been increasingly observed. During El Niño Modoki positive SST anomalies are observed in the central part of the equatorial Pacific Ocean, in contrast to the anomalies of the canonical El Niño, which are observed in the east part. The paper shows differences in the nature of the propagation of wave activity in model experiments with SST anomalies located in areas corresponding to the events of the canonical El Niño (Nino 3 region) and El Niño Modoki (Nino 4 region). It was found that, with comparable amplitudes of SST anomalies, the stratospheric polar vortex is more weakened when the localization of the anomalies corresponds to the El Niño Modoki phenomenon. Statistically significant differences in the weakening of the intensity of the stratospheric polar vortex between experiments are observed at the beginning of the extended winter period (November–December) and in spring (March– April). When the anomalies are located in the central part of the equatorial Pacific Ocean, a doubling of the frequency of final sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) is observed compared to the experiment where the anomalies correspond to the localization of the canonical El Niño. The more frequent occurrence of SSWs, both final and intraseasonal, in the El Niño Modoki experiment compared to the canonical El Niño is explained by an increase in the meridional component of the three-dimensional flux of wave activity in case of more westerly position of the SST anomaly. This increase is recorded both immediately before the SSW and throughout the winter period (December–February).

Published: January 2025

Deep convection in the Labrador Sea has a significant role in the formation of the Northern Hemisphere climate. The eddy activity in the Labrador Sea, represented by Irminger rings, influences the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of the mixed layer depth. Automated eddy identification methods are widely used as a tool to study eddy activity in statistically significant samples. However, the most commonly used method for finding local extrema is highly dependent on a variety of parameters chosen by the author or the user of the method. In this paper, a new algorithm for the identification of mesoscale anticyclonic eddies in numerical simulation data is developed. Using Bayesian optimisation method, the optimal values of hyperparameters of the developed eddy identification algorithm were selected. The identification quality in the F1-score measure is improved to 0.232 compared to 0.352 in the baseline configuration.
Unpacking linguistic features in EFL textbooks using systemic functional linguistics: Transitivity, Mood, and nominal group structure analysis
Authors: Canggung Darong Hieronimus , Regus Maksimus
Published: January 2025

Systemic functional linguistics provides a systematic and comprehensive approach to examining language use, offering valuable information about the construction of meaning in the context of experiential, interpersonal, and textual metafunctions. This framework can be used to examine linguistic features and discourse patterns of the EFL textbooks. This study analyzes the linguistic features that go into creating the metafunctions in question found in EFL textbooks using systemic functional linguistics. The study specifically focused on process types of Transitivity patterns, Mood structures, and nominal group structures. Data were taken from two secondary EFL textbooks published in 2013 by two Indonesian publishers from which samples of reading passages were purposefully chosen based on the topic, genre and difficulty, and they were modified into clauses for analysis. After transitivity analysis, material process type was found to be predominantly used signifying a focus on tangible actions. Furthermore, the mood structure predominantly employs declarative structures, indicating comprehensible and direct information exchanges. Nominal group analysis indicates that T (Thing) and DT (Deictic Thing) types are frequently used, increasing vocabulary with physical references. The pedagogical implications of the linguistic feature analysis provide tailored teaching-learning activities and the useful information for instructional design.

Authors: Estaji Masoomeh , Hafezi Shamileh
Published: January 2025

This study intended to disclose perceptions of novice and experienced EFL teachers regarding the linkage of teacher empowerment and their choice of motivating styles. To this end, a mixed-methods research approach was adopted. In the quantitative phase, 156 EFL teachers (Experienced = 97, Novice = 69) completed the online questionnaires on teacher empowerment and motivating style. In the qualitative phase, 10 teachers (5 novice and 5 experienced) were asked to participate in a semi-structured interview. Quantitative results showed that Autonomy-Supportive motivation style (AS) had a significantly positive correlation with Decision Making, Professional Growth, Status, Self-Efficacy, Impact, and Total Empowerment among novice teachers, and a significantly positive correlation with Professional Growth, Status, Autonomy, Impact, and Total Empowerment among experienced teachers. Moreover, the qualitative findings revealed that, from both novice and experienced EFL teachers’ perspectives, teacher empowerment was found to influence choice of teacher motivating styles. Further qualitative findings presented that from novice and experienced teachers’ vantage point, empowering strategies like attending conferences, reading books and articles, and taking part in professional development programs can contribute to teachers’ choice of motivating styles. These results have potential implications for various stakeholders in L2 education who can gain insights into how to foster teacher empowerment as a way to direct teachers toward choosing an autonomy-supportive teaching style.

Published: January 2025

Vivemos em um mundo que avança rapidamente, mas ainda carregamos o peso de desigualdades e desafios que marcam a história da humanidade. Entre esses desafios, está a luta das mulheres por reconhecimento, respeito e igualdade. Este livro, construído a partir de reflexões, análises e histórias, é um convite para mergulharmos nas diferentes versões do que significa ser mulher em nossa sociedade.
Este livro é um manifesto pelo empoderamento feminino, mas também é um chamado às mulheres para que reconheçam e celebrem sua força interior. Nas páginas que seguem, exploraremos não apenas os desafios, mas também as vitórias, os sonhos e as possibilidades.
Acredito que o empoderamento não é um ato isolado, mas um processo coletivo. Cada mulher que se ergue inspira outras a se erguerem também. Cada conquista individual é um passo coletivo em direção a uma sociedade onde o gênero não seja uma barreira, mas uma celebração de diversidade e potencial.
Que este livro seja um lembrete de que as vozes das mulheres importam. Que seja uma faísca para conversas, reflexões e ações que desafiem as desigualdades e nos aproximem de um futuro mais inclusivo. As mulheres são como jardins – resilientes diante das tempestades, florescendo em meio aos desafios e colorindo o mundo com sua força, sabedoria e beleza.

This study aims to compare the writing abilities of students in writing Explanatory Texts using the lecture method and the project-based learning method among eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Penaggalan for the 2023-2024 academic year. This research employs a Quasi-Experimental method involving two groups, namely the experimental class and the control class. Data analysis revealed that the post-test scores of students in the experimental class had an average score of 80.71, with the highest score being 95 and the lowest score being 65. Data showed that 29 students scored above the minimum competency criteria (KKM), while 7 students did not meet the KKM. An inferential test and hypothesis test were conducted to determine the differences in students' abilities to write Explanatory Texts using the project-based learning method and the lecture method. Inferential tests indicated that both classes were normally distributed and homogeneous. The hypothesis test using an independent sample test revealed two key findings: the Sig. (2-tailed) value was 0.00 < 0.05. Additionally, based on the t-test assumption, the calculated t-value was greater than the t-table value with α = 0.05 degrees of freedom (df = 69), yielding t calculated > t table at 5.819 > 1.667. The hypothesis test results indicated that Ha was accepted. From these results, the hypothesis or research conclusion states, "There is a significant effect of the project-based learning method compared to the lecture method in writing Explanatory Texts for eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Penaggalan for the 2023-2024 academic year."

Research on Ion Channels in Dorsal Root Ganglion Neurons
Authors: Yuan Ziyan , Gao Xinyan
Published: January 2025

Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) neurons serve as crucial nodes for pain signal transmission, and their excitability regulation plays a key role in various physiological and pathological processes. Ion channels, as central components in modulating DRG neuron function, are involved in biological processes such as pain conduction, neural signal integration, and plasticity. This paper systematically analyzes the structural characteristics, functional mechanisms, and roles of different types of ion channels in DRG neurons, including sodium channels, potassium channels, calcium channels, and other related channels, particularly in pathological conditions. In light of current research trends, the paper also explores the potential of ion channels as drug targets and in technological applications, while suggesting future research directions. The aim is to provide theoretical support for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases related to DRG neurons.
