The work is aimed at describing the relationship between the genes COMT, DRD4, 5HT2A, MAOA with the success of facial expression recognition. These genes play an important role in various emotional and cognitive processes. At the same time, hereditary aspects of recognition of facial expressions, in contrast to sociocultural ones, have not been studied enough to date. The study involved 87 healthy students of Russian universities (20.4 ± 2.6 years). DNA analysis was carried out with the determination of genotypes by the polymorphic loci of the genes rs4680 COMT, rs6313 5HT2A (HTR2A), rs1800955 DRD4, VNTR MAOA (RSMU, Rostov-on-Don). The participants of the study were asked to distinguish emotional facial expressions in photographs taken from the MMI, KDEF, Rafd, WSEFEP image databases. The obtained results indicate the following differences in the success of facial expression recognition: carriers of the Val/Val genotype of the COMT gene significantly better recognize the emotions of surprise (H=7.7, df=2, p=0.02), fear (H=10.5, df=2, p=0.005), sadness (H=11.2, df=2, p=0.004); carriers of the heterozygous C/T genotype of the DRD4 gene significantly better recognize facial expression of disgust (H=9.1, df=2, p=0.01). No relationship was found between the MAOA gene genotypes and the success of emotion recognition.
The Parental Identity Processes among Russian Fathers and Mothers
Authors: Borisenko Y.V.
Published: November 2022

The relevance of the study of parental identity is determined by the current state of society, as well as a significant social demand for the study of internal determinants of parenthood, stuffing of the psychological and pedagogical context, patterns, dynamic transformations, and developing ways to develop the parental identity.We studied the specifics of parental identity processes among Russian fathers and mothers. We present the results of empirical study obtained on a sample of men and women who are Russian-speaking residents of Russia. The study involved respondents (N=721) aged 25 to 56 years (M=35,4; SD=2,66), of which 44% were female. We used Caregiving and Breadwinning Identity and Reflected Appraisal Inventory (J. Pleck and colleagues), test of statuses and structure of ego-identity (E.L. Soldatova), Dimensions of Identity Development Scale (DIDS) (K. Luyckx and colleagues), Identity Stage Resolution Index (ISRI) (J.E. Cote) and its modification for parental identity, the Utrecht scale for studying identity processes-Parent identity (U-MICS-PI) (modification by K. Piotrowski) and test of life-meaningful orientations (D.A. Leontiev). We hypothesized that there were some differences in the processes and content characteristics of the parental identity of Russian men and women. Fathers were found to appraise higher their identity, breadwinning identity, their maturity, and demonstrate higher scores for identity processes such as exploration in breadth and exploration in depth, reconsideration of commitment and identification with commitment; and lower scores for caregiving identity, parental identity and the processes of commitment making and ruminative exploration. In the factor structure of parental identity, in addition to two factors common to men and women that describe the sense of identity and meaningfulness of life, men also identify factors that characterize the age-related transformations of parenthood and the exploration and commitment for fathering. For the first time, we studied the processes of the parental identity of Russian men and women.
GCCP - NS: Grid based Congestion Control protocol with N-Sinks in a Wireless Sensor Network
Authors: Shobana Jeya , Paramasivan Balasubramanian
Published: November 2022

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have been a current trend in the research field and has many issues when there are multiple mobile sinks. Data dissemination gets critical as their locations have to be repeatedly updated and results in huge consumption of the restricted battery supply in sensor nodes. In this paper, we propose GCCP – NS, a grid based congestion control protocol with N –sinks that solves the data dissemination problem leading to congestion. We construct a dual level grid structure to trail the locations of all the source nodes that reports the information to the mobile sinks by monitoring the network in a hierarchical manner. As an added advantage, it aids in data dissemination based on query flooding from the mobile sinks using quorum based method within each cell in the grid and avoids congestion in an effective manner. Simulation results show that our proposed protocol outperforms the other schemes in terms of packet delivery ratio, energy expenditure and throughput.
Routing for capacity improvement in Multi-Channel-Width Multi-Radio Wireless Mesh Networks
Authors: Carvalho Celso Barbosa , De Rezende José Ferreira
Published: November 2022

This study indicates that the assignment of multiple channels with different bandwidths to links of a IEEE 802.11 wireless mesh network can drastically increase the capacity of these networks considering equal amount of available spectrum. However, this is possible only for networks where routers are equipped with multiple radios. In this context, this paper proposes a metric used to select the amount of radios and width of the channels to be used in each link, as well the routing path that enables a decrease in the interference between those links. We use simulations in ns-2 to assess the proposed routing metric and compare it with others in the literature. The obtained results point to an increase in the capacity of the studied networks.
Международная помощь и санкционное давление: геометрия взаимного влияния
Authors: Бартенев Владимир
Published: November 2022

В статье предложен оригинальный подход к концептуализации проблемы взаимного влияния международной помощи и санкционного давления. В первом разделе обозначены теоретико-методологические рамки исследования. Демаркированы границы ключевых понятий, подчеркнуто разнообразие видов обоих инструментов и осуществляемых с ними операций и выбран такой вариант структурирования комплекса взаимосвязей, который позволяет абстрагироваться от этих различий. Логические цепочки сведены в два основных “измерения”: 1) ограничения на оказание помощи и 2) помощь в условиях санкций. Дополнительно предпринята попытка разделить “смычку” на отдельные векторы взаимного влияния и разместить их в специальной матрице, которая строится посредством наложения двух стандартных вариантов разделения акторов по их функциональным ролям – на инициаторов санкций, адресатов санкций и третьи страны, с одной стороны, и провайдеров и реципиентов помощи – с другой. При этом рассмотрены как возможные последствия применения санкционных инструментов, так и возможные действия после/вследствие их использования. Во втором и третьем разделах статьи логические цепочки, относящиеся к каждому измерению, раскрыты с опорой на результаты их осмысления в научной литературе и проиллюстрированы с помощью релевантных примеров из международной практики второй половины XX –начала XXI века. В заключении представлен результат заполнения указанной матрицы и сделан вывод о наличии “смычки” между помощью и санкциями как отдельного объекта исследования. Он должен изучаться совместными усилиями ученых, специализирующихся на анализе как самих этих инструментов, так и внутренней и внешней политики отдельных государств. Это может помочь сформировать базу подлинно репрезентативных кейсов и обнаружить новые, еще не учтенные ее измерения и векторы взаимного влияния между компонентами.
Избежать ядерной войны. Проблемы эскалации/деэскалации вооруженных конфликтов при приближении к “ядерному порогу”
Authors: Барановский Владимир , Бужинский Евгений , Загорский Андрей , Никитин Александр , Ознобищев Сергей
Published: November 2022

В развитии ряда международных конфликтов последних десятилетий существовал потенциальный риск применения ядерного оружия. В статье анализируются и систематизируются факторы и меры, позволившие предотвратить эскалацию конфликтов до “ядерного порога”, чреватого риском катастрофических последствий в случае его преодоления. Обсуждается возможность и вероятность избежать ядерной эскалации из-за несанкционированных действий, ошибок, технических сбоев и неверной интерпретации действий потенциального противника. Рассматриваются механизмы деэскалации военно-политических инцидентов, комплекс сложившихся мер доверия и обеспечения безопасности. Выявляется их применимость в современных условиях, значимость как в контексте сложившихся отношений по линии Россия-Запад/НАТО, так и в долгосрочной (в масштабах десятилетий) перспективе.
Социально-политическая динамика эпохи глобального кризиса: цивилизационный бэкграунд
Authors: Лапкин Владимир
Published: November 2022

В статье анализируются тенденции актуализации цивилизационного дискурса в современной политической науке, которая оказалась перед вызовом глобального кризиса, порождаемого плохо отрефлексированными ею процессами политического развития. Восприятие этого дискурса сегодня заметно контрастирует с еще недавним по существу негативным отношением к нему большей части политологического сообщества. Такое отношение, фактически, выражало стремление как бы “отменить” этот дискурс, трактуя включенность в него как не отвечающую актуальным критериям анализа политики и потому предосудительную. Тем не менее цивилизационная проблематика в течение всего ХХ в. привлекала внимание политических философов и наиболее проницательных политических исследователей, пытающихся продвинуться в развитии представлений о принципиальном многообразии культурно-цивилизационных оснований современного общества, а также о влиянии этого многообразия на характер текущего кризиса миропорядка и его вероятные последствия. Одним из важнейших проблемных узлов исследования является противоречивое сопряжение понятий, характеризующих универсалистский и партикуляристский подходы к концептуализации цивилизационного сообщества. В русле первого подхода вся цивилизационная проблематика сводится к признанию правомерности представления лишь о единственной – общечеловеческой цивилизации или же той, которая может служить для мира единственно достойным образцом, универсальной моделью и идеальным типом общественного и культурного обустройства. В русле второго – акцент делается на том, что даже в рамках современных национальных сообществ и оформляющих их территориальных государств за сохраняющейся культурной и цивилизационной “инаковостью” признается право на существование и воспроизводство. Более того, указывается на ее незаменимость в качестве ресурса развития этих сообществ. В ходе исследования проводится сравнительный анализ сопряжения и латентного конфликта двух этих подходов к концептуализации культурно-цивилизационных оснований современной политики, обсуждается цивилизационный аспект проблемы эволюционных пределов универсализма и перспектив трансформации миропорядка.
The Biden Administration’s Climate Policy toward China
Authors: Golub Y. , Shenin S.
Published: November 2022

The article is devoted to the analysis of the contemporary US-Chinese relations in the climate sphere and forecasting the prospects for their development in the near future. In the context of the evolution of the problem in the past, as well as taking into account the differences in approaches to the problem in the United States from the two leading parties and the most influential political and ideological groups, the authors investigate the causes of the aggravation of climate relations between Washington and Beijing. It is noted that having occupied the White House, the Democratic administration of J. Biden began to increase pressure on the Chinese government in order to force it to accelerate the passage of "green transit", i.e. the transition from the use of fossil fuels in the economy to renewable energy sources. It is assumed that such a strategy should slow down China's economic development, thus giving America time for internal reforms aimed at achieving its global "green" leadership, which, in turn, should ensure economic dominance in the post-crisis period. Tactically, the administration uses a "separate" methodology, i.e. declares the need to isolate from each other the climate and all other components of the Chinese policy of the United States. This approach is not supported by most political and ideological groups. Thus, the progressive wing of the Democratic Party insists on close climate cooperation with China, which implies a possibility of geopolitical concessions. Moderate Republicans ("realists") consider "constructive competition" with Beijing in the climate sphere possible. Conservatives are confident that China will not fulfill its promises, and therefore they advocate "climate realism", which means carrying out internal reforms in the United States only taking into account what has been done by other countries, primarily China. The neoconservative group demands to abandon climate pressure and rely on tough geopolitical steps against Beijing. It is concluded that disagreement within the ruling elite with Biden's Chinese policy will greatly complicate the approval of the climate reform program in Congress, therefore the "containment" of the PRC will be primarily economic and geopolitical in nature.
Models of Cooperation between Azerbaijan and NATO Member-States
Authors: Niyazov N.
Published: November 2022

The article touches upon peculiarities of interaction of the Republic of Azerbaijan with new NATO members in military sphere by the example of Bulgaria and the Czech Republic. The objective of the work is to show that post-Soviet states, having chosen a successful pattern of cooperation with European countries, are able to gain their place on the international arena even not being a member of a European block. To reach the goal the author of the article gives a review of literature covering different aspects of military policy of Azerbaijan and studies the factors that provoked Baku to advance collaboration with Prague and Sofia in military sphere. Historical and genetical scientific method, decision-making system analysis, case study, institutional, and elements of germenevtic method are applied. The results of the research are the following: after the defeat in the First Karabakh war Azerbaijan focused on modernization of economy and military forces while it continued to conduct negotiations on the conflict settlement under the authority of the OSCE Minsk Group. To achieve this goal Azerbaijan started to collaborate with Ukraine, Belarus, Israel, Russia, Turkey, Pakistan, South Africa and other states in military sphere. The improving of mutually beneficial collaboration with new NATO members was an essential focus area. Nevertheless, Azerbaijan tended to solve both military problems including strengthening the potential of armed forces and political problems aimed at receiving support in the Karabakh settlement. The latter played more important role for Baku than purchasing different arms systems, because by the time Azerbaijan had already had access to weapons markets of Israel, Russia, Ukraine, South Africa, Jordan and Turkey. Thus, two patterns of interaction were constructed – the first case concerns the Czech Republic and full-scale military and political cooperation, the second deals with Bulgaria where the military aspect was an approach to the political integrant. The analysis shows that expertly combining military and diplomatic interaction and military and technical cooperation with new NATO members Baku managed to win the support, even if unofficial, and it became obvious in the Second Karabakh war.

Authors: Sarkar Eti Rani , Hashem Anika , Zinnurine Saida , Sikder Suchandan
Published: November 2022

Regardless of good hygiene and management, a significant number of dogs are lost every year due to deadly attack of parvo virus. The immunization schedules recommended by the World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA) do not have exclusive suggestions on dogs living in Bangladesh. The WSAVA Vaccination Guidelines Group (VGG) suggested that vaccination recommendations that apply to a developed country may not be appropriate for a developing country. Due to inadequate sero-monitoring, emergence and re-emergence of Parvo viral infection following immunization is a common event. Therefore, the current study is designed to establish a definite guideline for Parvo viral immunization in dogs. We immunized group of dogs with commercially available parvo virus vaccine Nobivac Dog®, and a second dose was injected 14-days following the initial dose. Sera samples were collected before starting injections and 7-day following 1st and 2nd dose of vaccinations. We performed Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) to detect protective serum IgG titer against the canine parvo virus type 2 antigen. Demographic data of the participated animals was compared to the status of antibody titer. Findings of this study revealed that two-shots of immunizations with a booster injection of 2-3 weeks apart from the primary immunization is essential to develop positive titer. The purebred female dogs of older than three-months had higher IgG when compared to local, crossbred, male and younger dogs. The results will provide valuable information to establish National Guidelines for Immunizations in Dogs of Bangladesh for effective prevention and control of this deadly disease.

A importância da política de cotas e os desafios da permanência do aluno cotista na visão de jovens estudantes do IFFluminense Campus Itaperuna
Authors: Rodrigues Marcio Toledo
Published: November 2022

As a result of a research carried out with young students of the Integrated Technical Courses of Itaperuna campus at the Instituto Federal Fluminense, this article discussed the importance of quotas in teaching, and raised questions regarding the challenges that Law nº 12.711/12 posed to the permanence of quota students in the respective institution. Based on 22 interviews, the survey found, first, that a good part of the interviewees had a positive perception of the quota law, seen as an important policy of inclusion and historical reparation. Second, we observed that many of the participants understand that only guaranteeing access with quotas is not enough, as it is also necessary to create effective conditions to ensure the permanence of these students. Finally, among the challenges pointed out to permanence, racism stood out, something that is present in everyday school life and that negatively affects the life of black students, especially quota students, due to the disadvantages arising from racial inequality in the country and the condition of socioeconomic vulnerability.
Lei de Cotas e desigualdades de classe, raça e sexo: a política de permanência estudantil na educação profissional do Instituto Federal Fluminense
Authors: Machado-Costa Luciana
Published: November 2022

Based on Gramscian concept of Integral State and the theory of social justice by Nancy Fraser (2001), using intersectionality as an analytical tool, the retention and success policy in technical and vocational education and training at the Instituto Federal Fluminense (IFF) was investigated, and how it addresses the inequalities of class, race and gender. The documents analyzed recognize that there is inequality of opportunity in access to education and that quotas with criteria defined by Law 12.711/2012 (BRASIL, 2012a) are necessary for the democratization of education. It is observed a contradiction between the recognition of inequalities in opportunities of access, present in the three documents analyzed, but the non-recognition of them in retention, with the absence of actions and indicators that allow the diagnosis of inequalities in dropout, permanence and completion of the course among student groups with cuts of race, class and gender, also between quota holders and non-quota holders. It highlights the different ideologies in dispute for hegemony within the scope of civil society in which IFF community and its institutional policies are inserted. Measures are suggested to improve the planning, execution and evaluation of IFF's student retention policies with focus on social justice.
Uso do biossorvente coco verde para remoção de Ferro e Manganês em água de poço
Authors: Tavares Matheus Gomes , Moreira Antônio Sérgio do Nascimento
Published: November 2022

The presence of iron and manganese ions in the well water end up generating problems in the water quality that compromise its domestic and industrial use. To avoid this, it is common to use expensive technologies that end up not being as efficient as they should be. This study presents an alternative mean by using natural biosorbent materials that, in addition to presenting a great efficiency in the removal of ions from their high levels of organic matter, such as cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, also have a high adsorption capacity due to the presence of functional groups in their structure. The research focuses on the efficiency of green coconut shells in the removal of iron and manganese metal ions present in well water collected at the Polo de Inovação do IFF. For this, analyses were performed to determine the concentration of these metals by the Atomic Absorption Method in the input samples and in the samples after the passage through the filter containing the biosorbent. The concentration in the retention of iron and manganese ions was high, 87.85% and 66.81% respectively, for the 2.0 mm granulometry of the biosorbent material.
Privilegien: Psychologische Aspekte einer Konfrontation mit den Vorteilen der eigenen Gruppenzugehörigkeit
Authors:   , Althammer Ruth
Published: November 2022

Neben diskriminierten sozialen Gruppen werden in der psychologischen Forschung zunehmend die sozialen Gruppen in den Blick genommen, die nicht von Diskriminierung betroffen sind oder sogar Vorteile dadurch erfahren, sogenannte privilegierte Gruppen. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die Auswirkung einer Konfrontation mit den Privilegien der eigenen sozialen Gruppe auf unterschiedliche psychologische Variablen. Als privilegierte soziale Gruppen wurden Weiße und Heterosexuelle herangezogen. Das Untersuchungsdesign bestand aus drei Bedingungen und sechs Gruppen: Die Bedingungen „Weißes Privileg“ (n = 68), „Heterosexuelles Privileg“ (n = 65) und „Weißes und heterosexuelles Privileg“ (n = 68) mit jeweils einer Experimental- und einer Kontrollgruppe. Die Hypothesen, dass die Experimentalgruppen in den psychologischen Variablen (Statusbedrohung, Privilegienbewusstheit, Intersektionales Bewusstsein, Schuld, Wut und Hilfsbereitschaft) eine stärkere Ausprägung aufweisen würden, ließen sich nicht bestätigen. Die Ergebnisse und ihre Implikationen für weitere Forschungsarbeiten zum Thema Privilegien werden diskutiert. Psychological research has started to consider the experiences of social groups that are not affected by discrimination or even profit from a system of oppression. These groups are called privileged. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of a confrontation with one’s own group privileges on multiple psychological variables. For the purposes of this study privilege was seen as identifying both as white and as heterosexual. The experimental design consisted of three conditions and six groups: the conditions were “white privilege” (n = 68), “heterosexual privilege” (n = 65) and “white and heterosexual privilege” (n = 68), each consisting of one intervention group and one control group. It was hypothesized that the treatment groups would score higher in the assessed psychological variables (perceived status threat, privilege awareness, intersectional awareness, guilt, anger and prosocial behavior). None of the hypotheses were confirmed. The results and implications for further research regarding privilege are discussed.

Published: November 2022

O artigo avalia as características da mensagem anti-imperial de Paulo em Filipenses 3.20-21. Procura-se demonstrar como o contexto sócio-político da cidade de Filipos influenciou o apóstolo a intencionalmente reagir à ideologia imperial romana. Para tanto, foi realizada uma análise dos principais termos utilizados em Filipenses 3.20-21 em relação aos seus paralelos disponíveis na época, tanto romanos quanto judaicos. Para a coleta de dados foi utilizado o método bibliográfico por meio de literatura especializada. O resultado foi a identificação de três características que poderão ser utilizadas em trabalhos futuros como referencial de comparação com outros escritos paulinos igualmente entendidos como anti-imperiais pela pesquisa contemporânea.

Published: November 2022

Entomopathogenic fungi perform important functions in the ecosystem as natural antagonists of insects, which can be used in agriculture. Interestingly, recent studies showed a significant promotion of tested plants growth in the presence of fungi. We hypothesize that some of various compounds produced by entomopathogenic fungi can positively affect plant development. To test this hypothesis, fungal extracts of entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana were prepared at different conditions of temperature and pH. In addition to determination of the ammonium nitrogen content, the composition of extracts was analyzed by elemental ICP-OES. Then, their effect on the wheat germ growth was studied using various extract concentrations. After experiments, tested plants were measured, weighed, and the chlorophyll content was determined. Finally, the impact of extracts on the selected G+ and G- bacteria growth was examined to exclude the possibility of interference with soil microorganisms. The highest length of the wheat shoot was obtained for the use of 10-times diluted extract (10%) at pH 10 obtained at 20°C. In contrast, addition of 10% extract (pH 10) obtained at 75°C resulted in the shortest shoot. Generally, the extracts obtained at 75°C showed phytotoxic properties leading to lower values of shoot length and fresh weight in comparison to the control group. Our preliminary results are the first confirming the potential of fungal water extracts as factors promoting plant growth. Further detailed study should be carried out to confirm the effects in real environment conditions. Also, the consistency of the plant growth stimulation across different entomopathogenic fungi, and agriculturally used plant species should be tested.
Hydrogen Production System through Dimethyl Ether Autothermal Reforming based on Model Predictive Control
Authors: Zhang Tie-qing , Jung Seunghun , Kim Young-Bae
Published: November 2022

The objective of this study is to design an optimal model predictive control (MPC) strategy using manipulated variables to control the production of a sufficient amount of hydrogen through low temperature autothermal reforming of dimethyl ether (DME), a reforming reaction performed using PdO/ZnO/γ-Al2O3 catalysts coated on honeycomb cordierite ceramics. Experiments and simulation have verified that the optimal activity temperature of the catalyst is 400 °C, and the hydrogen volume fraction in syngas is over 43%. In the implementation of the hydrogen production system, the MPC controller can precisely determine the feed rates of DME, high-purity air, and water based on the space state equation of the reformer, to achieve the anti-disturbance of the reformer temperature. Thus, the reduction of hydrogen yield and sintering of the catalyst as a result of overheating are prevented. As the static and dynamic performance of hydrogen production exhibits excellent tracking of the setpoints, an autonomous, automated, and reliable continuous system was designed to meet the desired hydrogen demand situation. This study shows that an autonomous, automated, and reliable continuous hydrogen production reforming system can be designed to actively respond to the on-board hydrogen usage situation.
THE ARCHETYPICAL IMAGE OF THE WITCH IN WOMEN'S INITIATIVE PLOTS OF STORY THERAPY
Authors: Sirko Roksolana , Slobodyanyk Volodymyr
Published: November 2022

Abstract: the article is devoted to the psychological analysis of the image of the witch in women's initiation stories of fairy-tale therapy. It was revealed that in the modern culture of various peoples of the world there are female images that are similar both in name and in their psychological characteristics, the main functions of which are keeping the hearth and taking care of children. The etymological and lexical analysis of the images of the witch, grandmother Yaga, sorceress, healer, fortune teller, priestess showed an ambivalent interpretation: on the one hand, she is a wise woman who gives and possesses secret knowledge, has supernatural abilities, heals, can predict the future; on the other hand, it is an evil hag that brings trouble, an enemy, knows how to taunt and cast a spell. The article studies how the psychoanalytic interpretation indicates the manifestation of the Archetypes of the Great Mother and the Wild Woman when these characters are perceived in the human psyche. In our opinion, it is possible to define three psychological stages of women's initiation stories of fairy-tale therapy - exit from the comfort zone, search for allies, tests, psychotherapeutic rethinking of which it is possible to acquire new behavioral patterns for overcoming stressful situations.

Published: November 2022

An analytical solution is given on the conditions for reducing the technological cost of processingand the possibility of implementing high-speed cutting. It is shown that the cutting speed is limited bythe extremum (minimum) of the cost of processing. It is possible to increase the cutting speed andimplement high-speed machining conditions by increasing the tool life by using stronger and morewear-resistant tool materials and tool coatings characterized by a low coefficient of friction.
Feasibility Study of Premium Casing Connection with Titanium Alloy for High-Temperature Geothermal Applications
Authors: Tao Gang , Abdulhameed Diana , MacDonald William , Dunlap Dennis , Elder Russell
Published: November 2022

The harsh environment in high-temperature geothermal wells poses significant challenges to casing integrity. As alternatives to Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) materials, titanium alloys have shown great corrosion resistance in geothermal wells. However, little work has been done to investigate the structural performance and sealability of titanium alloy casing and casing connections. Using advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA), an engineering study was performed to evaluate the sealability of a premium casing connection with a proprietary titanium alloy material. Coupon tests were conducted to characterize the temperature-dependent mechanical response of the titanium alloy as the key inputs for the study. Thermal cycle loading representative of geothermal well conditions was applied to the FEA model to quantitively evaluate the connection sealability performance. The advantage of the sealability performance of the titanium alloy connection was demonstrated by comparing the model response of the titanium alloy connection to the same connection design with L80 material that was previously qualified for this application by full-scale physical testing. The titanium alloy connection showed a much more stable sealability response when compared to the L80 connection throughout the thermal cycles. This superior performance was primarily attributed to the elastic response of the pipe body, relatively low thermal stress, and minimal plastic deformation within the connection. Preliminary physical make-and-break test results were also shown to demonstrate the galling resistance of several connection types made of the titanium alloy.

The engineering study established a strong technical basis for further development of casing and premium casing connections with titanium alloys for challenging high-temperature geothermal well applications. The technical information in this paper provides a reference for high-temperature geothermal and thermal well operators who are considering alternative materials to improve casing integrity.
Asymptotic behavior of solutions for a new general class of parabolic Kirchhoff type equation with variable exponent sources
Authors: Quach Chuong , Le Nhan , Le Truong
Published: November 2022

In this paper, we study the following problem:\begin{align*} \begin{cases} \displaystyle u_t -M\left(\int_{\Omega}\frac{\left|\nabla u\right|^{p(x)}}{p(x)}\diff x\right)\Delta_{p(x)}u = \left|u\right|^{m(x)-2}u,& (x,t)\in \Omega\times (0,T),\\ u(x,t)=0,&(x,t)\in \partial\Omega\times (0,T),\\ u(x,0)=u_0(x),&x\in \Omega, \end{cases}\end{align*}where $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$ is a bounded domain with smooth boundary $\partial\Omega$, the functions $p,m:\bar{\Omega}\to\mathbb{R}$ and the Kirchhoff function $M:[0,\infty)\to [0,\infty)$ are specified below. We give a new class of general Kirchhoff function which covers both non-degenerate and degenerate cases, and investigate its effects on the existence and non-existence of global weak solutions to \eqref{1.1} in case the initial energy is subcritical. Moreover, we also give the decay estimate for the energy functional in the former case and an upper bound for the maximal existence time in the latter case. This is a continue working on Nhan et al., [Nonlinear Anal. Real World Appl., 56 (2020), 103155] and also an affirmative answer for the comments by Guo et al., [J. Differential Equation., 340 (2022), 45-82.]

The monthly rainfall data of 80 years were collected from the Nigeria Meteorological Agency Abuja, Nigeria. The data were from seven major synoptic stations in the Northern Nigeria. We measure the trends of intensity in rainfall and obtain the best fit trend on yearly rainfall. The data showed that the average annual rainfalls at different stations are significantly different and degree of peak also varies in each station from the Kernel density test. We observed, there were high intensity of rainfall which exhibits a cyclical trend with frequent periodicities in amount of rainfall owning to high humidity and low temperature in Jos station. The trend increases exhibit exponential distributions at every point of change with high degree of skewness with a similar peak every year; the result of the trend analysis shows clear fluctuations in the pattern of rainfall for the period under study. Three statistical goodness of fit test were carried out in order to select the best fit probability distribution on the basis of highest rank with minimum value of test statistic. It was observed that Generalized Extreme value distribution and Log Pearson are the best fitted from the Anderson Darling test as its produces minimum value than other probability distributions. The chi-square test on associations between the 17 probability distributions, show that five probability distributions; Gamma, Pearson(6), Gamma(2), Weibull(3) and lognormal(3p) are significant at p-value(< 0.001), they are best fitted on yearly rainfall. Kolmogorov Smirnov test was used to rank the 17 probability distributions to obtain the best fit on rainfall, we observed that Normal, Gamma (2p), Gamma(3p), Log Normal and Log Pearson(3p) are the best fitted distributions, they are strong with a robust parameters to measure rainfall.

However, research that focused on testing the role of decision-making on life satisfaction was still limited, even though almost every aspect of human life involves decision-making, and the results could determine one's life situation. There were prior studies that attempted to explore the relationships between life satisfaction and decision-making; however, the results were not conclusive. Therefore, the research aimed to test the relationship between decision-making styles and life satisfaction. Convenience sampling was used in data collection, and 154 university students participated in the research. It used a cross-sectional survey design to test the research hypothesis. The survey consisted of research information, informed consent, demographic, and measuring instrument for research variables. Decision-making styles are measured using General Decision-Making Styles and Maximizing Scale. Life satisfaction was measured using the Satisfaction with Life Scale. The result of multiple linear regression analysis shows that rational decision-making style and tendency to satisfice significantly predict higher levels of life satisfaction, while spontaneous decision-making style and tendency to maximize predict lower levels of life satisfaction. On the other hand, intuitive, dependent, and avoidant decision-making styles do not significantly predict life satisfaction. The implication and direction for future research are discussed.

The research aimed to develop a model for managing change consisting of detailed processes and activities that include changes in technology, organizations, and individuals in the implementation of information systems. The change management model developed in the research was used as a guideline for managing changes that occur when implementing changes in information systems in higher education. This change management model was developed using the action research method to obtain a model that fits the practical conditions. The model included the process and details of activities which were obtained in two ways, namely by identifying the success factors of implementing information systems in previous studies and interviewing information system implementers in tertiary institutions to obtain practical change management activities. The proposed change management model has been verified and validated where the results show that the process in the model is in accordance with expert theory. The results of using this model indicate that the management of changes in information systems can be carried out in a clearer and more structured.
Modelling the biological treatment process aeration efficiency: application of the artificial neural network algorithm

The biological treatment process (BTP) is responsible for removing chemical oxygen demand (COD) and ammonia using microorganisms present in wastewater. The BTP consumes large quantities of energy due to the transfer of oxygen using air pumps/blowers. Energy consumption in the BTP is due to low solubility of oxygen, which results in low aeration efficiency (AE). The aim of the study was to develop an AE model that can be used to monitor the performance of the BTP. Multilayer perceptron artificial neural network (MLP ANN) algorithm was used to model AE in the BTP. The performance of the AE model was evaluated using R2, mean square error (MSE), and root mean square error (RMSE). Sensitivity analysis was performed on the AE model to determine variables that drive AE. The results of the study showed that MLP ANN algorithm was able to model AE. R2, MSE, and RMSE results were 0.939, 0.0025, and 0.05, respectively, during testing phase. Sensitivity analysis results showed that temperature (34.6%), COD (21%), airflow rate (19.1%), and OTR/KLa (15.7%) drive AE. At high temperatures, the viscosity of wastewater is low which enables oxygen to penetrate the wastewater, resulting in high AE. The AE model can be used to predict the performance of the BTP, which will assist in minimizing energy consumption.
