Authors: Anam Tadar , Kalita Abhijit , Kalita Ankita , Dutta Abhijit
Published: June 2023

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic progressive degenerative disorder of multifactorial etiology, causing greater disability and clinical symptoms among adults. Our study aim is to compare the effectiveness of kinesio taping with conventional therapy versus muscle energy technique with conventional therapy in subjects with knee osteoarthritis. Moreover, the assessed objectives are knee pain, range of motion, disability, quadriceps strength, and hamstring flexibility. It is a comparative study, where 30 subjects with knee osteoarthritis meeting the inclusion criteria were recruited and randomly divided into Group A (Kinesiotaping with conventional therapy) and Group B (Muscle energy technique with conventional therapy), each group containing 15 subjects. Both groups received the same conventional therapy, five sessions/week for three weeks. GROUP-A received Kinesiotaping 3 sessions/per week for three weeks, and GROUP-B received Muscle energy technique five sessions/per week for three weeks. Outcome parameters were a Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) for pain, a Goniometer for a range of motion, WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index) for pain, Stiffness, and physical dysfunction, Quadriceps strength test for quadriceps strength and Active knee extension test for hamstrings flexibility. Paired t-test and independent t-test were used to analyze both groups' pre-test and post-results. The study concluded that Group A showed more significant improvement in knee pain (t=3.862, p<0.05), extension range of motion (t=5.983, p<0.05), and hamstrings flexibility (t=5.983, p<0.05) compared to Group B. However, there was no significant difference in improvement among the groups when compared between both groups. Hence, the intervention in Group A was more effective in decreasing pain and increasing knee extension range of motion and hamstrings flexibility in OA knee patients.

Dynamic Modelling of the Spring Attached Two-Link Planar Manipulator
Authors: DENİZHAN Onur
Published: June 2023

Robot dynamics is required for simulation, control, analysis of robot motion planners and controllers. There are a number of dynamic modelling investigations of robots with the different approaches and these investigations mostly focus on the link flexibility, joint friction or actuator dynamics. In addition to that these studies present dynamic model without any attached linear or torsion springs. In this study, the dynamic modelling of a two-link rigid manipulator with attached torsion springs is presented using the Lagrangian approach. The Lagrangian approach is a variational method that relies on the potential and kinetic energy of the mechanism, making it well-suited for the analysis of the two-link planar manipulator considered in this study. Initially, the two-link mechanism equations of motion are derived without any attached torsion springs. Subsequently, two torsion springs are attached to the joints of the mechanism, and the existing equations of motion are modified accordingly. The study also presents the kinetic, potential and total energies of the two link-manipulator, angular positions of the links and their velocities. By considering the dynamic modelling of the torsion spring attached two-link rigid manipulator, this study contributes to understanding and analysis of the two-link manipulators and the dynamic effects of the attached springs.

Published: June 2023

The study investigated the dynamic of blended learning and technology supported learning strategies on tertiary students’ performance in English writing. The sample for the study is made up of ninety (90) students from public tertiary institutions in Ekiti State. Stratified random sampling technique was used to select the ninety (90) respondents from the three (3) sampled higher institutions in the state. The study used a quasi-experimental research method to explore the relationship between variables. The quasi-experimental design for the study was the non-randomized pretest, post-test control group design. The instrument used for data collection was an English Writing Skill Performance Test. Three research questions were raised to guide the study and they were answered descriptively using mean and Standard Deviation. Four research hypotheses were formulated for the study and tested using t-test analysis of independent sample and a two way Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). Based on the data analysis, findings revealed that students that were exposed to blended learning instructional strategy significantly outperformed their counterparts who were exposed to technology supported method strategy and those taught using conventional method of teaching. Also, students who were exposed to technology supported method performed significantly higher than those taught using conventional method. It was further found that significant difference existed in gender performance with respect to the two strategies employed in the experimental group. While female students outperformed their male counterpart when been exposed to blended learning strategy, no significant difference existed when they were exposed to technology supported method. Lastly, the study concludes that there was significant effect of blended learning, technology supported and conventional methods on the tertiary students’ learning outcomes in post-test. government, in conjunction with curriculum developers, the federal and state government; other professional bodies like National Universities Commission should create resource centers that can sensitize other stakeholders in the educational sector on the efficacy of blended learning and technology supported learning approach.

Online supervision as a way to increase the level of professional skills and formation of professional identity of consulting psychologists
Authors: Shorokhov A. G.
Published: June 2023

Introduction. Applying for supervision is especially relevant in modern conditions of uncertainty in a transitive society, which require psychologists to improve their professional skills. The demand for the online supervision format is also increasing, which is noted as more convenient and accessible compared to the offline form. During our works review, it was found that obtaining supervision is a significant factor in the formation of identity and professional development of novice psychologists-practitioners.

Purpose. Determination of the influence of online supervision on the identity formation of a consulting psychologist and the development of his professional qualities and competencies.

Materials and methods. In this study 280 respondents, beginning psychologists, took part as respondents. We applied the author’s questionnaire aimed at studying the experience of obtaining online supervision from entrant psychologists and practitioners and also to identifying barriers to obtaining it. The Methodology of Professional Identity Measuring (MPIM) made it possible to assess professional identity formation. Empirical data were processed using the Student’s t-test.

Results. The types of identity of practising psychologists who apply and do not apply for online supervision were identified. It is shown that most practising psychologists, who rarely or never apply for online supervision, have a diffuse type of identity. For practising psychologists who regularly visit a supervisor, the predominant type of professional identity is “achieved”.

Discussion and conclusion. During the analysis of works, it was found that applying for supervision, including in an online format, allows a practising psychologist to improve professional qualities and competencies effectively and is a significant determinant of professionalism formation and the achieved professional identity.
Characteristics of women’s careers: international studies review
Authors: Boldyreva E. V. , Elagina M. Yu. , Korochentseva A. V.
Published: June 2023

Introduction. Career development has become one of the most significant areas of human resource management in modern organizations. Despite considerable progress in increasing the representation of women in various industries and also a multiplication of women holding senior positions, today, the segregation of the labour market persists. Women and men are unevenly distributed in such fields as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics; there are differences in wages and career advancement. Traditional career models have certain limitations in research and, therefore, require revision and updating.

Purpose. Generalization of foreign experience of gender studies in the field of women’s professional careers.

Materials and methods. The scientific review is presented by a systematic analysis of foreign gender studies over the past 10-15 years.

Theoretical justification. The authors describe the main methods of studies examining women’s career advancement and also consider the causes of gender segregation, such as career choice, gender discrimination in employment and the workplace, and the phenomenon of the “glass ceiling”. Factors influencing the choice of career strategies are competitiveness, self-esteem, self-efficacy, the influence of cultural perceptions of gender roles, self-stereotyping, the presence or absence of role models, the social costs of women’s careers and the possibility of their recognition by society as professionals.

Discussion and conclusion. A possible way to solve the problem of women’s career advancement may be to reduce the pressure of gender stereotypes, including even the distribution of household and child-rearing responsibilities and, ultimately, contributing to the improvement of well-being and life quality in general.
Attitude towards death in civil population living in the armed conflict zone in the context of existential fulfillment
Authors: Ryadinskaya E. N. , Kovalchishina N. I. , Volobuev V. V.
Published: June 2023

Introduction. In the conditions of living in an armed conflict zone, the attitude of the civilian population to life and death may acquire its characteristics. Their study is of particular importance for the implementation of psychological assistance. Existential fulfillment is defined as living at the same time the correspondence of what is happening in life to one’s inner values and the circumstances of the outside world. In this regard, the authors consider the issues of psychological consequences for people living in armed conflict zones for people in connection with existential fulfillment.

Goal. Determination of the attitude to the death of civilians living in the zone of armed conflict in the context of their existential fullness.

Materials and methods. The study used a content analysis of the concept of “death” and the causes of fear of death, as well as the technique of Diagnostics of Existential Fulfillment" (V. B. Shumsky, E. M. Ukolova, E. N. Osin and Ya. D. Lupandina). The significance of the differences was checked using Fisher’s φ-criterion.

Results. The majority of respondents are not so much afraid of the approach of death as the probability of injury and becoming disabled or that their children will be orphaned due to the death of their parents. The respondents living in the area of the SVO have medium (55.3%) and low (44.7%) levels of existential fulfillment. People with a pronounced fear of death or the consequences associated with it have a lower overall level of existential fulfillment than those who are not afraid of death, are philosophical about it, or do not think about it.

Discussion and conclusion. The attitude to death and the level of existential fulfillment are closely related and depend on many parameters. The main reasons for the lack of existential fulfillment are traumatization, a sense of uselessness, unfulfillment in life, the insignificance of the process of life as a whole, and loss of meaning due to living for a long time in conditions of military operations, a low percentage of life prospects, lack of basic conditions for life. The general personality value–semantic orientation can be considered through the prism of its attitude to death.
Peculiarities of thinking of primary school children with learning disability
Authors: Belousova A. K. , Gordeeva P. A. , Yamanova N. I.
Published: June 2023

Introduction. The article analyses the thinking peculiarities of younger schoolchildren with learning disabilities that hinder or disrupt the process of assimilation of educational material, which can lead to school failure. In many studies, thinking is considered a primary component of the cognitive development of a student's personality, but, at the same time, the question of the relationship between the mechanisms and processes of thinking of younger schoolchildren and the occurrence of learning disability has not been practically investigated.

Purpose. To study the thinking peculiarities of younger schoolchildren with a learning disability.

Materials and methods. The study sample includes 71 primary school students aged 7 to 12 years. The following methods were used in the study: Establishing the Sequence of Events" (A. N. Bernstein) and Excluding Items (Forth is a crowd) (N. L. Belopolskaya). The reliability of the data obtained was ensured by applying the Kraskel-Wallis test. The processing was carried out using the SPSS 22 software package.

Results. The analysis of the obtained data revealed that there are significant differences in the level of development of figurative-logical thinking, mental operations of analysis and generalisation in schoolchildren, depending on the class of study. The tendency to the significance of differences depending on the age of the subjects was revealed.

Discussion and conclusion. The peculiarities of thinking of younger schoolchildren experiencing learning disabilities can be compensated with growing and through the transition from class to class. Such compensation can be achieved by the development of the functions of planning, regulation, and control of activities, the development of figurative-logical and conceptual thinking, and thought processes that are formed during educational activities. The results of the study can be used in pedagogical practice for the implementation of psychological and pedagogical support and the organisation of special conditions for teaching children in a comprehensive school.

Authors: Ignatchenko O. S. , Kukulyar A. M.
Published: June 2023

Introduction. This article is devoted to the problem of finding optimal ways to include information technologies in the educational process. There is a definite potential for the use of information technologies in productive teaching methods. At the same time, there is a problem of refusing to use them primarily within the framework of informative and illustrative methods.

Purpose. The study of the potential of the use of information technologies in education in the system of secondary vocational training.

Materials and methods. The methodological component is represented by testing, comparative analysis, interpretation and generalization. The specifics of creating a practical training program as a basis for evaluating the effectiveness of the information technology inoculation in teaching activities at the college are substantiated.

Results. The lesson was designed using the problem method and the method of individual projects. The entire cycle of pedagogical work was implemented and described in detail: from a lesson design to evaluating its effectiveness.

Discussion and conclusion. The conducted lesson is evaluated as effective since students have demonstrated significant progress in understanding the topic and mastering skills during the initial control and final testing. However, the result of practical approval indicates some reassessment of students' knowledge of the completed program. There is a need for additional improvement of motivating components that contribute to the activation of creative potential and initiative of students. It was shown that the use of the problem method and the method of individual projects significantly contributes to the activation of cognitive and creative activity compared to the use of informative methods. The results of the work conducted can be considered a reference point for further theoretical and practical research in the field of effective use of information technologies in education.

Authors: Aikpitanyi Kelvin Uhunoma , Imasuen James Atekha
Published: June 2023

With the increasing demand for poultry products (meat and eggs) worldwide, poultry farmers want to improve the productivity of their flocks. This challenge has necessitated poultry nutritionists to offer specific nutritional strategies for improved productivity. Feed additives are recommended as one of such strategic options, and plant materials, otherwise known as phytogenics, are being extensively investigated. Therefore, the study's objective was to assess the production performance and egg quality of commercial laying hens fed black pepper and red pepper additives. A total of 210 commercial laying hens at 24 weeks of age were allotted into seven dietary treatments in a completely randomized design. Each treatment had thirty (30) birds each, replicated three times to give ten (10) birds per replicate in a study that lasted 12 weeks. The formulated diets included: a control diet with no additives; Treatments 2 and 3 had 1% and 1.5% black pepper powder; Treatments 4 and 5 had 1% and 1.5% red pepper powder; Treatment 6 had a mixture of 0.5% each of black pepper and red pepper, while treatment 7 had a mixture of 0.75% each of black pepper and red pepper. All data collected were subjected to a one-way analysis of variance using the general linear model procedure of SAS (2012). From the results obtained, the hen day production (%) was significantly highest in hens fed the diet with 1% red pepper (83.40%) and the least from hens in the control (65.56%). The control treatment also recorded the least performances in egg mass (48.76g/bird/day) and feed conversion ratios (2.58 and 2.30). Shell thickness was least (0.43mm) in hens fed the diet with 1.5% red pepper, while the thickest shell measurement of 0.50mm was recorded in Treatment 6. The highest Haugh unit of 103.77 was obtained from Treatment 4, while the least value of 96.66 was obtained from the control. Yolk colour was significantly improved in the treated groups as against what was obtained from the control group. From the results, it can be concluded that black pepper and red pepper, having improved production performance and some egg quality characteristics in the treated groups compared to the control hold great potential as dietary additives.
Massive Omission of Consent (MOOC): Ethical Research in Educational Big Data Studies
Authors: Costello Eamon , Brunton James , Bolger Richard , Soverino Tiziana , Juillerac Clément
Published: June 2023

Ethical reviews of research plans function as a cornerstone of good research practice in order that no harm should come to participants. Ethical concerns have taken on a new salience in a digital world where data can be generated at scale. Big data research has grown rapidly, raising increased ethical concerns. Several intersecting areas of big data research exist within educational research, such as learning analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). In the current study, an investigation was made of peer-reviewed papers on MOOC teaching and learning to determine if they explicitly refer to (a) ethical considerations in their studies, and (b) obtaining formal ethical approval for their research. This investigation was accomplished through a review of MOOC-related, English-language papers available in Scopus database, over the course of a year. The review produced a total of 1,249 articles, of which, 826 articles related to empirical studies involving human participants where full text of the articles could be obtained. The string “ethic” was searched for within these articles, and resulting articles analyzed, which found that a small fraction, 42 articles (5.08%), mention ethics in relation to the study presented in the article, and only 13 articles (1.57%) explicitly mention obtaining formal ethical approval for the research. The findings show a lack of transparency in reporting on and/or engagement with ethical considerations in MOOC teaching and learning research. These findings indicate the need for further stakeholder engagement and sectoral dialogue in relation to ethics education and training for researchers; consideration of ethics in big data studies in education; and norms/policies in academic publishing for authors to report how ethical issues have been considered.

Published: June 2023

The object of the study is investment activity in the Russian Federation. The subject of the study is the implementation of investment activities in relation to friendly foreign states. The purpose of the work is to assess the possible prospects and risks of the orientation of the economy of the Russian Federation on cooperation with friendly countries in the field of investment. Tasks of the work: •To assess the regulatory framework for the orientation of the economy of the Russian Federation to friendly countries; •Analyze economic indicators in relation to friendly countries; •To assess the prospects for cooperation with unfriendly countries in the medium term. The main method of research is analysis. The author analyzes the regulatory framework in the sphere of orientation of the economy of the Russian Federation to strengthen partnership with friendly countries, provides analysis of various indicators of friendly countries and companies belonging to the jurisdiction of friendly countries. Based on the analysis, the author identifies the problem points, relying on the methods of logic. Today, the economy of the Russian Federation is reorienting towards building relations with friendly states. Such a decision is an atypical measure of economic regulation, and there are a small number of examples of similar examples of actions by state bodies. The decision causes an active discussion in the Russian society, which confirms the relevance of this study. The key problem points directly related to the restriction of access to investments in companies of unfriendly foreign states and current investment opportunities in companies of friendly states are identified. The author puts forward several recommendations that can reduce the level of uncertainty in the financial market and reduce risks in the field of investments.

Authors: Karpov Ernest Sergeevich , Grabel'nikov Aleksandr Anatol'evich , Gegelova Natal'ya Sergeevna , Murzina Ol'ga Viktorovna
Published: June 2023

Digitalization, the development of the Internet and media technologies lead to transformation not only of functions of journalism, but also to the analysis of the conceptual model of a journalist, which also gives a result in a literary text. Viktor Pelevin subtly captures emanations of this kind and, at least allegorically, but quite accurately represents them in postmodernist artistic text. In the article we will focus on the study of the image of a journalist as the author of a media text and his role in shaping reality, presented in Pelevin's works. The material of the study was the novels "The Sacred Book of the Werewolf" (2004) and "Empire V" (2006). The paper presents the results of the analysis of media space, implemented in the works of V. Pelevin, which is the subject of the study. The novelty of the work is due to the fact that for the first time the role of journalism in the formation of the chronotope of a postmodernist work is analyzed on the example of V. Pelevin's novels. A successful attempt has been made to apply the knowledge of online news journalism to media texts in the structure of a work of art. Cultural-historical, structural-typological methods and structural analysis were used. The article is devoted to the study of the media space, which is considered as a simulacrum of reality, in the structure of the artistic world of a postmodern work. It is proved that the media space created by journalists is mosaic, its boundaries are conditional, blurred or completely absent, in the organization of space at different levels we see a rhizomatic structure, the author often uses the mirror principle.
V. N. Berdinsky's novel "You are for me, I am for you": the poetics of psychologism
Authors: Kudryavtseva Raisiya Alekseevna
Published: June 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the poetics of the modern Mari novel in the aspect of the poetics of psychologism. The purpose of this work is to identify the main techniques of psychologism and their artistic functions in V. N. Berdinsky's novel "You are to me, I am to you". The research material was the text of V. N. Berdinsky's novel "You are for me, I am for you", as well as research about him in modern Mari literary science. The methodology of the research is determined by the structural and semantic analysis of the work, which made it possible to identify and describe in detail the conceptual, semantic and typological components of the psychological level of this novel text. The article proves that psychologism in the novel of the Mari writer manifests itself at the plot (internal plot) and character (techniques of internal characterization of characters) levels of the text, and it is also important in the context of the author's assessments of the depicted events and phenomena (improper-direct speech). Among the means of psychological characterization in Berdinsky's novel, the psychological detail plays a dominant role (external in the role of psychological and actually psychological). It is concluded that psychologism is the dominant style of V. N. Berdinsky's novel "You are to me, I am to you" and plays an important role in the formation of the author's artistic concept.

Authors: Shuiskaya Yuliya Viktorovna , Aref'ev Nikita Alekseevich , Vlasova Mariya Vladimirovna , Shestov Nikita Aleksandrovich
Published: June 2023

The subject of the study is the university press of US universities that are part of the so-called "Ivy League" - an informal association of the oldest higher education institutions in the country. The object of the research is the media management of corporate media of universities as a tool of public relations among students, graduates and potential applicants. The authors consider in detail such aspects of the topic as ways of forming an individual profile of a particular media outlet, as well as its contribution to the image of a particular university. Particular attention is paid to the formation of the content of university media and their interaction with the traditional media system, as well as options for their development in a broader media profile.   The main conclusions of the study are the data obtained during the comparison of Ivy League university press samples on the patterns of formation of the image of a typical student and a graduate of a university. A special contribution of the authors to the research of the topic is the development of specific recommendations on the media management of corporate publications on the example of the university press, which can be applied in domestic practice. The novelty of the research lies in the generalization of the media practices of the university press of the USA and the formulation of recommendations for creating the image of a student, graduate and teacher on the pages of the university press. Also of particular interest is the practice of creating a modern convergent media based on the traditional format of the press that has existed since the XIX century.
Semantic parameters of the plot of a literary work
Authors: Podkovyrin Yurii Vladimirovich
Published: June 2023

The subject of research in this article is the plot organization of a literary work, considered from a hermeneutic perspective, namely as one of the aspects of actualizing the meaning of a literary work. In the work, based on the material of a number of works related to the epic kind of literature, the semantic parameters of the plot-event organization of the work are investigated. The article identifies and describes the differences between the vital ethical way of understanding the plot, associated with the value position of the characters, and the aesthetic way of understanding the plot, associated with the values of the author and recipient. In the latter case, the plot is understood as a dynamic aspect of the incarnation (embodiment) of artistic meaning.   The scientific novelty of the article is determined by the fact that for the first time the plot-event organization of a literary work is considered in connection with a specific way of actualizing the artistic meaning, defined in this work as an incarnation. The incarnation of meaning in the article is understood as its "transformation" into the being (life) of the hero as a whole. If in the life context of comprehension, the sequence of events (the "plot" of life) is correlated by the character with the private and incomplete horizon of the semantic future, then in the aesthetic context of comprehension, the plot acts as an articulation of the integral meaning of the hero's being, as his "fate". As a result of the interpretation of the text of the Grimm brothers' fairy tale "Hansel and Gretel", as well as E. A. Poe's novella "The Mask of the Red Death", the author of the article shows that through plot articulation in the aesthetic semantic "dimension" of the work, heterogeneous moments of meaning are collected, linked into a consistent unity.

Authors: Kotliar Elena Romanovna , Zolotukhina Natal'ya Anatol'evna
Published: June 2023

The subject of the study is the cultural code of "Numbers", covering numerical symbols and their embodiment in the pictorial semiosis of the Jews of the Crimea. The object of the study is the traditional compositions and images associated with the symbolism of numbers in the pictorial practice of the Jews of the Crimea. The research uses methods of semiotic and semantic analysis in deciphering the meanings of numeric symbols and their embodiment in the Jewish pictorial semiosis of the Crimea, the method of analyzing previous research on the topic, the synthesis method in generalizing the meanings of numeric symbols. In the article, the authors consider such aspects of the topic as: the codes of the pictorial semiosis of the Jews of the Crimea are defined, their system, etymology, key meanings and the main code are indicated. The code of the Number and its features are considered in detail.     The main conclusions of the study are: 1.The result of the consideration of the traditional culture of the Jews of the Crimea was the definition of five codes of the Jewish pictorial semiosis, including groups of images: phytomorphic, zoomorphic, skewomorphic, numerical. The Sefer code (Book) is a generalizing one. The interrelationships of the codes are structured, as a result of which the key meanings are revealed – Creation, Paradise, Torah persons, Messianic aspirations. The semantic center of the codes is defined – Aron Hakodesh - the repository of the Torah, which is the source of all Jewish doctrine. 2.The considered Number code includes images, the number of which has a symbolic meaning, the basis of which lies in the Torah. The main numbers mentioned in the Torah, their meanings and their embodiment in traditional pictorial practice are considered. In addition to the direct mention of numbers in the Torah, the meanings of numeric symbols follow from Kabbalah, which translates alphabetic values into numeric ones (due to the same spelling of numeric and alphabetic symbols in Hebrew). Scientific novelty of the study: for the first time, the interrelationships of cultural codes in the pictorial semiosis of the Jews of the Crimea were determined. The author's concept of the sacred geometric code of numbers in Judaism is presented on the basis of the study of the Torah, as well as the classical philosophy of the Pythagoreans and Platonists.
Heat Release Rate from a Two-Phase Kerosene/Air Flame Using Chemiluminescence
Authors: Desclaux Anthony , Orain Mikaël , Garaud Julien , Bodoc Virginel , Gajan Pierre
Published: June 2023

An experimental method based on chemiluminescent measurements is developed to determine the heat release rate produced by a two-phase flow kerosene/air flame. This quantity is known to be proportional to the air mass flow rate and the equivalence ratio. Experimental studies are carried out downstream of a liquid fuel injector used in aeronautical combustion chambers. The chemiluminescent spectra of the flame are analyzed for different air mass flow rates and equivalence ratios ranging from 0.4 to 0.71 in the steady-state flame configuration. The broadband background emission due to [Formula: see text] emission (where [Formula: see text] indicates an electronically excited specie) and soot radiation is first evaluated. Then, the analysis of the chemiluminescent emission from [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] indicates that the [Formula: see text] may be used to determine both the instantaneous equivalence ratio and the air mass flow rate. An example of the application of this method to measure fluctuations in the heat release rate induced by acoustic excitation of the flame is shown.
Assessment of Pseudoshock Models Against Experiment in a Low-Aspect-Ratio Isolator
Authors: Edelman Louis M. , Gamba Mirko , Hunt Robin L. , Auslender Aaron
Published: June 2023

A highly confined shock train is investigated in a direct-connect isolator facility with a Mach 2 inflow and a constant-area low-aspect-ratio rectangular test section. High-speed schlieren imaging, wall static pressure measurements, surface oil-flow visualization, and particle image velocimetry from this isolator are synthesized into a three-dimensional schematic of the shock train structure. Against this, the prevailing pseudoshock models in the literature are assessed to evaluate the validity of their underlying assumptions. None of the prevailing pseudoshock models are found to simultaneously model the pressure and Mach number profiles, indicating a gap in the model formation and underlying assumptions when applied to the experimental isolator of interest. The presence of distortion in the isolator flowfield, such as a wall-bounded vortex, is found to skew the structure of the shock train, altering the strength and distribution of the compressive pressure gradient. It is further observed that the separated flow morphology surrounding the shock train is not monolithic, as is typically assumed, adjusting the balance of compressive forces within the shock cells. These findings lead to the conclusion that existing flux-conserved modeling approaches require modification to be effective in distorted and highly confined cases, including closure models that capture the three-dimensional distorted structure of the approach flow and its evolution along the shock train.

Authors: Koenig Adam W. , D’Amico Simone , Lightsey E. Glenn
Published: June 2023

The Virtual Super Optics Reconfigurable Swarm (VISORS) mission is a distributed telescope consisting of two 6U CubeSats separated by 40 m that will obtain high-resolution images of active solar regions in the extreme ultraviolet spectrum. This mission is challenging because the CubeSats must autonomously control their relative motion with unprecedented accuracy while operating in close proximity. This paper presents three contributions that enable the VISORS mission to meet its challenging requirements. First, passively safe absolute and relative orbit designs for distributed telescopes that provide regular periods of alignment with inertial targets are developed using relative eccentricity/inclination vector separation. Second, a guidance, navigation, and control system design is proposed to meet the demanding relative motion control requirements. Third, a concept of operations is proposed that minimizes mission operations load when the formation is not actively performing observations. This concept of operations includes a safety plan to address on-orbit anomalies. The performance of the guidance, navigation, and control system is validated through Monte Carlo simulations including all significant error sources and operational constraints. These simulations show that the mission requirements are met with margin, providing a preliminary demonstration of the feasibility of accurate autonomous formation control with CubeSats.
Control of Scramjet Inlet Recirculations Using Fuel Injection
Authors: Rodríguez Fuentes Felipe Martín , Parent Bernard
Published: June 2023

A novel approach using ramp fuel injectors is here proposed to reduce or eliminate shock-induced recirculation regions in scramjet inlets. The study is performed using UArizona’s CFDWARP code solving the Favre-averaged Navier–Stokes equations closed by the revised Wilcox [Formula: see text] model with dilatational dissipation and rapid compression corrections. The results obtained are representative of hydrogen fuel injected after the second shock of a three-shock scramjet inlet at a flight Mach number of 7.5 and an altitude of 34 km. Injecting fuel in the inlet leads to particularly high values of the cross-stream velocities that reduce the size of the recirculation bubbles. This is attributed to be due to i) large cross-stream shearing created by the bow shock above the ramp injectors, to ii) the large density difference between the fuel and the air leading to baroclinicity, and to iii) the greater acceleration of the light fuel by the pressure gradients. As opposed to previous methods that achieved partial reduction of the separation region, fuel injection can lead to a complete elimination of the recirculation bubbles in scramjet inlets. To eliminate recirculations, only half of the fuel needs to be injected in the inlet with the rest injected in the combustor as usual.
THE CONCEPT OF THE HEAVENLY SANCTUARY IN ISAIAH 14:12-15
Authors: Santos Souza Costa Isael
Published: June 2023

This paper aims to analyze the passage in Isaiah 14:12-15 in order to reiterate elements of continuity and discontinuity in the theme of the heavenly sanctuary as suggested in the text. Some exegetical observations will be made in the analysis, as well as some general considerations regarding the research history of this passage. The theme of the heavenly sanctuary and its effective function of governing and worship will be pointed out. Similarly, the theme of punitive-condemnatory judgment will be suggested as a circumstantial function of the sanctuary's agenda to resolve the controversy over the conflict between good and evil. In conclusion, it will be pointed out that the role as a place of governing and worship of the heavenly sanctuary existed even before sin and will continue to exist after it. In contrast, the activity of punitive-condemnatory judgment is discontinuous, and thus lasting only until the end of the controversy, when it will be ended, since the character of God was then vindicated before the universe.

The goal of this research is to investigate models relating to psychological aspects of mathematics learning, such as math anxiety, scaffolding, math attitude, and working memory. This study included 548 junior high school students from public schools and Islamic boarding schools. The analytical method utilizes analysis of variance, bivariate product moment supported by SPSS, and Smart PLS 3 for path analysis. Model fit criteria (SMSR < .05; RMS Theta < .102; NFI > .9). The model fits based on the SRMR value .000 < .10 dan NFI 1 > .90. The findings show that students from public schools and Islamic boarding schools are different in terms of math anxiety, scaffolding and math attitude. Path analysis shows that math attitude mediates the interaction between math anxiety and scaffolding on working memory. Furthermore, scaffolding has a direct impact on working memory. The implications of the study's findings have been discussed in this article.

This study investigates the relationship between religious belief, religious tolerance, and students’ happiness. It aims to explore the moderating effect of religious tolerance on the relationship between religious belief and students’ happiness. The study adopts a quantitative methodology, surveying 734 university students. The data is analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling in Mplus. The results indicate that religious belief influences students’ happiness. Additionally, religious belief influences religious tolerance and happiness positively. Religious tolerance also has a direct effect on happiness. The study highlights the moderating influence of religious tolerance on the association between religious belief and happiness. It also suggests that the level of religious tolerance can influence the effect of religious belief on happiness. In order to increase students' happiness while pursuing a bachelor's degree, the implications of these findings highlight the significance of universities considering and promoting religious tolerance among students.
Üç Nesil Almanya Türklerinin “Kesin Dönüş” Algılarının Değerlendirilmesi (Evaluation of Perceptions of reMigration” (Homecoming) by Three Generations of German Turks)
Authors: İnce Vedat Martin
Published: June 2023

1961 yılında başladığı işçi alımını 1973 yılında sonlandıran Almanya’da, bugün yaklaşık 2,8 milyon Türkiye kökenli insan yaşamaktadır. 60 yılı aşan Almanya göçü süreci içinde şimdiye kadar en az üç nesli gören Almanya Türklerinde her nesil, kendine has özellikleri ve konjonktürel değişkenlerle birlikte sosyal hayatta yer alırken “Kesin Dönüş” fenomeni daima gündemde kalmış, göçmen davranışını çözümlemek için araştırmacılara önemli bir parametre olarak veri sağlamıştır. Birinci nesil göçmen işçilerin gündemlerinde önemli yer teşkil eden “Kesin Dönüş”, çoğunluğu Almanya’da doğan ikinci nesil bireylerde de kuvvetli bir hedef olmuş, bu süreç üçüncü nesilde de kendini göstermiştir. Nicel araştırma deseni kullanılan çalışmada, Almanya’da yaşayan 316 kişiden anket formu ile veri toplanmış, nesil ile kesin dönüş yaklaşımları arasındaki ilişki Kay-Kare Testi (Chi-Square Test X2) ile anlamlandırılmaya çalışılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, birbirinden farklı sosyal, kültürel, ekonomik ve pedagojik gerçekler içinde yetişmiş olan üç neslin, kesin dönüş niyetlerinin birbirinden farklı, ancak her nesilde kuvvetli bir şekilde mevcut olduğu görülmüştür. Bu çalışmadaki nicel veriler “Nesiller Arası Dinsel Akışlar; Almanya’da Yaşayan Türkler Üzerine Sosyolojik Bir İnceleme” adlı doktora tezine dayanmaktadır
INTRA AND INTERPARENTAL FACTORS INFLUENCING POST-DIVORCE CO-PARENTING

Objectives. The objective of this study was to determine how intraparental (i.e., cognitive schemas, parental competence, cognitive-emotional coping style) and interparental variables (i.e., family conflict, unfavorable conditions of divorce) influence post-divorce co-parenting through the relationship between parents after separation. Materials and methods. The study was conducted on a sample of 169 divorced or divorcing participants (84% females and 16% males), aged 24 to 61 years (M = 42.71, SD = 6.15). The following instruments were used to measure the research variables: the Divorce Adjustment Inventory Scale, the Young Schema Questionnaire - Version 3, the Parental Competence Questionnaire, the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, the Coparenting Relationships Scale, and the reasons for divorce were assessed in an exploratory manner. Results. Dysfunctional cognitive schemas were positively associated with dysfunctional coparenting behaviors and negatively associated with functional co-parenting behaviors. Participants who reported violence as a cause for divorce had significantly higher scores (M = 22.22) on the undermining (M = 22.22 vs. M = 10.17) and exposure (M = 21.66 vs. M = 10.20) dimensions of the dysfunctional co-parenting relationship compared to those who identified infidelity as a cause for divorce (M = 10.17). Conclusions. The quality of co-parental relationships may be influenced by maladaptive cognitive schemas and poorly developed parenting skills. Also, pre-divorce family interaction experiences and poor adjustment to divorce are associated with dysfunctional aspects of co-parental relationships that impact children post-divorce. Exploratory analyses indicate that training healthy, functional cognitive-emotional coping strategies and addressing maladaptive cognitive schemas can prevent engaging in abusive relationships. Keywords: divorce, co-parenting, cognitive schemas, conflict, coping.
