Published: November 2023

In this article, we present the results of the creation of an information-analytical system (IAS) developed as a tool for research and prediction of the behavior of the corium simulating a core melt of a nuclear reactor in the experiments. This was carried out to justify the safety of the use of nuclear energy according to specific requirements of a customer. The data loaded into the IAS were obtained on the basis of the National Nuclear Center of the Republic of Kazakhstan (NNC) as a result of modeling the processes occurring during severe accidents at nuclear installations. The experimental data obtained at the benches of NNC and characterizing the processes occurring during the interaction of the core melt of the nuclear reactor with coolants, structural materials and structural elements of nuclear reactors were classified and structured for the convenience of analyzing and processing the data obtained. The structure of the created IAS is shown and the analytical block is described in detail.

Authors: Duangsaphon Monthira , Sokampang Sukit , Bangchang Kannat Na
Published: November 2023

The discrete Weibull model can be adapted to capture different levels of dispersion in the count data. This paper takes into account the direct relationship between explanatory variables and the median of discrete Weibull response variable. Additionally, it provides the Bayesian estimate of the discrete Weibull regression model using the random walk Metropolis algorithm. The prior distributions of the coefficient predictors were carried out based on the uniform non-informative, normal and Laplace distributions. The performance of the Bayes estimators was also compared with the maximum likelihood estimator in terms of the mean square error and the coverage probability through the Monte Carlo simulation study. Meanwhile, a real data set was analyzed to show how the proposed model and the methods work in practice.
A review of fine-grained sketch image retrieval based on deep learning
Authors: Luo Qing , Gao Xiang , Jiang Bo , Yan Xueting , Liu Wanyuan , Ge Junchao
Published: November 2023

Sketch image retrieval is an important branch of the image retrieval field, mainly relying on sketch images as queries for content search. The acquisition process of sketch images is relatively simple and in some scenarios, such as when it is impossible to obtain photos of real objects, it demonstrates its unique practical application value, attracting the attention of many researchers. Furthermore, traditional generalized sketch image retrieval has its limitations when it comes to practical applications; merely retrieving images from the same category may not adequately identify the specific target that the user desires. Consequently, fine-grained sketch image retrieval merits further exploration and study. This approach offers the potential for more precise and targeted image retrieval, making it a valuable area of investigation compared to traditional sketch image retrieval. Therefore, we comprehensively review the fine-grained sketch image retrieval technology based on deep learning and its applications and conduct an in-depth analysis and summary of research literature in recent years. We also provide a detailed introduction to three fine-grained sketch image retrieval datasets: Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) ShoeV2, ChairV2 and PKU Sketch Re-ID, and list common evaluation metrics in the sketch image retrieval field, while showcasing the best performance achieved for these datasets. Finally, we discuss the existing challenges, unresolved issues and potential research directions in this field, aiming to provide guidance and inspiration for future research.
Le musée professionnel comme objet de recherche en anglais de spécialité : l’exemple du Newseum
Authors: Peynaud Caroline
Published: November 2023

Le Newseum, musée de la presse à Washington, actuellement fermé, présentait des collections liées à la presse aux États-Unis. Il offrait notamment aux visiteurs une représentation de l’histoire, des valeurs et du rôle de ce domaine spécialisé professionnel dans un grand nombre d’événements historiques. En ce sens, les collections d’un tel musée sont susceptibles d’apporter des éléments de compréhension de l’encyclopédie spécialisée du domaine sur lequel il porte. Abordant le musée par le prisme du récit autoethnographique, cette étude se propose d’examiner la valeur d’un tel objet de recherche en anglais de spécialité (ASP). Ce cadre permet notamment de comprendre qu’un musée est l’expression d’un point de vue, une réinterprétation des événements à l’époque moderne. L’analyse de la perspective adoptée conduit à identifier la fonction légitimante des collections ainsi que les contours de la spécialisation du domaine. Ce type de source est particulièrement utile pour un domaine tel que le journalisme, dont la nature spécialisée est difficile à définir.
Barriers, Facilitators, and Experiences of Physical Exercise Programs in Outpatient Mental Health Services
Authors: Lopez-Moral Alvaro , Munguia-Izquierdo Diego , Bueno-Antequera Javier
Published: November 2023

People with severe mental disorders (SMD) reports low levels of physical activity and high levels of sedentary behaviour in their daily activities. Physical inactivity is the fourth leading cause of global mortality, and it is an independent risk factor for several somatic diseases. Therefore, reducing the growing burden of SMDs is a global health priority. Most mental health services do not consider physical exercise as a key factor in the prevention and treatment of this growing problem. Solving this gap could contribute significantly to reducing patient mortality and comorbidity. For this reason, we need to improve our knowledge of how these interventions can be designed and implemented in the “real world” conditions to improve the uptake and adherence of patients. This chapter explores the implementation gap in mental health services and exposes the barriers, facilitators, and experiences that patients, staff, and trainers reported during the implementation of a physical exercise program.

Authors: Vasileiadis Ilias , Dimitriadou Ioanna , Koutras Spyros
Published: November 2023

The purpose of this chapter is to present firstly - with a critical approach - a clarification of the terms and concepts describing the social dimension of inclusion, with regard to students with developmental and cognitive difficulties, in order to identify differences or convergences. These specific variables are usually examined within observational studies of the social interaction among peers, sociometric studies of acceptance, and studies that require self-reports from the students regarding themselves and their social relationships. Furthermore, the variables related to the social dimension of inclusive education for these students, and their development in each age period, are presented. Finally, the chapter focuses on school intervention programmes concentrating on the social dimension of inclusion, and evaluates the impact of such programmes on the daily school life of students with developmental and cognitive difficulties.

Authors: Ralli Asimina M. , Kalliontzi Eleni , Kazali Elena , Palikara Olympia
Published: November 2023

Τhe aim of the study was to explore professional understanding of the developmental needs of children with developmental language disorder (DLD), the diagnostic criteria that they apply, as well as the challenges they face when working with children with DLD. One hundred and fifty-four professionals (35 educational psychologists (EPs), 75 speech and language therapists (SLTs), and 44 special educational needs teachers (SEN teachers)) completed a questionnaire. Results showed that although most professionals were familiar with the term “DLD,” they defined it differently. Most professionals reported that children with DLD have difficulties both in receptive and expressive language as well as socio-emotional problems. Regarding the diagnostic criteria, SLTs used mostly the discrepancy and the language deficits criteria. Last, participants identified different challenges according to their professional orientation. The results are discussed in terms of how they could better inform both training and practice to be able to respond more appropriately to children's developmental needs.

Published: November 2023

Language development has a significant impact on healthy emotional functioning throughout the lifespan. There is increasing evidence highlighting the existence of specific language deficits on distinct developmental diagnoses, which posits difficulties in various aspects of language, such as language processing deficits, vocabulary and verbal fluency, and pragmatic language impairment. In particular, separate lines of research have unveiled that language problems may exist in conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, and also in populations posing elevated callous unemotional traits. The scope of the present chapter is to summarize key evidence in this area of inquiry, by focusing on the underlying neurocognitive mechanisms involved in language problems. Conducting such analysis will aid in a better understanding of the key behaviours, cognitive mechanisms, and biological signatures of such difficulties that may assist future research in this area of research and designation of more tailored educational and therapeutic interventions.

The major purpose of this research study was to detect the significant differences in human figure drawing between the students with learning difficulties and the students without learning difficulties. Moreover, this scientific research aimed to detect the differences between students of different genders with and without learning difficulties. The sample of this study consisted of 80 students who attended elementary school. The 40 were students with learning disabilities and the other 40 were students without learning disabilities. The main research tool used was the Goodenough-Harris drawing test (GH), which was assessed in 20 points. The results showed that the children without learning disabilities outperform children with learning disabilities. The drawing of students without learning difficulties is more detailed and they display more often in their drawing both proportions and symmetries in comparison with students with learning difficulties. Similar results are also observed in the drawings between the two sexes, as girls outperform boys of the same chronological age.

Magnesium Oxide (MgO) thin films were deposited on SiO2/Si substrate by electron beam evaporation. The properties of MgO thin film with and without oxygen partial pressure have been investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Reflection Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (REELS), and Ultra-Violet Photoemission Spectroscopy (UPS). The XPS was used to investigate the chemical state of the film. REELS spectra revealed that MgO thin films deposited under oxygen partial pressure had band gaps of 6.07 eV. Meanwhile, the band gap for MgO thin films grown without oxygen partial pressure was 7.17 eV. The UPS results showed that the work functions of MgO thin film with and without oxygen partial pressure are 4.75 and 4.84 eV, respectively. In the MgO thin film with oxygen partial pressure, the intensity for the valence band peak at 12.16 eV decreased, but the work function remained relatively the same. Our results demonstrated that the oxygen partial pressure played a crucial role in improving the electronic properties of MgO thin films.

Utility of aluminum series AA5XXX, 6XXX, and 7XXX emerges. However, scrap waste remains unrecycled and ends up in municipal solid waste landfills. It is known that aluminum related reactions maybe problematic for landfill operations by generating undesired heat, liquid leachate, and gases. Aluminum produces hydrogen as it reacts readily with water at room temperature to form aluminum hydroxide. In most cases, it may not conventionally take place due to the presence of aluminum oxide that naturally coats the materials preventing it from direct contact with water.The layer can be detached using an acidic solution, such as HCl. HCl solution is prepared to remove the Al2O3 protective layer under acidic conditions. NaOH solution is added into the water to promote hydrogen production afterward. Aluminum scrap with a constant mass of 0.5 grams added to 250 ml of NaOH solution in which the concentrations varied by 0.5 M, 1.5 M, and 3 M. As the pretreatment, it was soaked into 1 M, 2 M, and 3 M HCl solutions for 1 minute. The measurement result shows that aluminum treated with 3 M HCl and reacted in 3 M NaOH yielded 532 ml of hydrogen gas. However, hydrogen concentration in total produced gas volume decreases as NaOH and HCl increase. This result is also confirmed using FTIR spectroscopy which shows the reaction with less NaOH concentration yielded more bayerite form.

Authors: Sancheti Varun , Patel Darsh , Ghetiya Nilesh
Published: November 2023

Stainless steel is widely employed in a variety of industries, including aerospace, chemical processing, and transportation. It can be recycled indefinitely with no loss of property. The Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) or Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) technique is widely used for connecting thin pieces of stainless-steel. However, it is ineffective for combining heavy parts in a single pass. Activated TIG (A-TIG) dramatically enhances weld penetration up to 1.5- 4 times in a single pass. A-TIG is the centre of investigation among researchers because of its deep penetrating capacity. This article discusses the effects of particular flux powders, such as NaF and Fe2O3, on surface appearance and geometric shape. Weld of satisfactory appearance is produced using NaF powder as a flux in TIG welding, whereas, Fe2O3 powder results in a substantial increase in both the joint-penetration and weld-aspect ratio.

Published: November 2023

Composites are being used since decades and imparting excellent properties comparatively. It may be used in numerous industries because of its light weight and specific strength. Machinability of these materials is a concerned aspect. Conventional and The composites have been machined using unconventional machining techniques. Conventional methods are less suitable than non-conventional quoting the best surface finish and ability to machine complex parts. This article investigates the suitability of thermo-electric process for the machining of composites for higher surface quality and material removal. It includes the study of machining by die sinking, wire cut, powder mixed electric discharge machine in different matrix based composites along with the variation of reinforcement. Electric Discharge Machining (EDM) finds its suitability in machining of different metal matrix composites (MMC) more than the Polymer Matrix Composite (PMC) and Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMC). Variation in input parameters listed as Pulse duration, Voltage, Peak Current and Polarity is studied to obtain the optimum resulting parameters as Material Removal Rate (MRR), Surface Roughness (SR), Electrode Wear Rate (EWR) and Kerf Width. Material removal in PMC is 16% more in parallel fibre direction than with perpendicular. Low electrical conductance and high hardness of CMCs limits the use of EDM while natural ceramics are found more suitable for machining. Gap voltage, pulse on time and current are found most crucial in machining MMCs while quantifying material removal and surface roughness.

Authors: Abrenio Stephanie Mae V. , Balela Mary Donnabelle L.
Published: November 2023

Textiles, an integral part of everyday clothing, are exposed to varied sources of dirt, leading to bacterial accumulation and cross-contamination. As such, antibacterial textile has become a widespread research interest. One method to create antibacterial textiles is the incorporation of silver nanoparticles (NPs) due to their efficacy in stopping multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria. However, most synthesis techniques in producing silver NPs are complex and expensive. Guava leaf extracts (GE) have a high quantity of metabolites and carbohydrates that can reduce and stabilize silver (Ag) ions. Guava leaves also have an innate antimicrobial property, making them highly compatible with biomedical applications. This study synthesized Ag NPs using Ag nitrate and Ag acetate as Ag precursors and guava leaves extract as reducing agents to create an antimicrobial fabric. The green synthesis successfully produced spherical Ag NPs with mean diameters around 24 nm. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analysis confirmed the formation of Ag NPs after the reaction. The Ag NPs were deposited on cotton fabrics, which showed significant antibacterial activity even after 5 washings. Generally, the Ag NPs synthesized with larger amounts of guava leaves extract showed larger clearing zones, indicating better antimicrobial activity.

The oral route is effective and convenient for vaccine administration to stimulate a protective immune response. GALT plays a crucial role in mucosal immune responses, with Peyer’s patches (PPs) serving as the primary site of induction. A comprehensive understanding of the structures and functions of these structures is crucial for enhancing vaccination strategies and comprehending disease mechanisms; nonetheless, our current knowledge of these structures in dogs remains incomplete. We performed immunofluorescence and flow cytometry studies on canine PPs to identify cell populations and structures. We also performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to investigate the immune cell subpopulations present in PPs at steady state in dogs. We generated and validated an Ab specifically targeting canine M cells, which will be a valuable tool for elucidating Ag trafficking into the GALT of dogs. Our findings will pave the way for future studies of canine mucosal immune responses to oral vaccination and enteropathies. Moreover, they add to the growing body of knowledge in canine immunology, further expanding our understanding of the complex immune system of dogs.

Published: November 2023

CD8+ T cell dysfunction contributes to severe respiratory viral infection outcomes in older adults. CD8+ T cells are the primary cell type responsible for viral clearance. With increasing age, CD8+ T cell function declines in conjunction with an accumulation of cytotoxic tissue-resident memory (TRM) CD8+ T cells. We sought to elucidate the role of PD-1 signaling on aged CD8+ T cell function and accumulation of CD8+ TRM cells during acute viral respiratory tract infection, given the importance of PD-1 regulating CD8+ T cells during acute and chronic infections. PD-1 blockade or genetic ablation in aged mice yielded improved CD8+ T cell granzyme B production comparable to that in young mice during human metapneumovirus and influenza viral infections. Syngeneic transplant and adoptive transfer strategies revealed that improved granzyme B production in aged Pdcd1−/− CD8+ T cells was primarily cell intrinsic because aged wild-type CD8+ T cells did not have increased granzyme B production when transplanted into a young host. PD-1 signaling promoted accumulation of cytotoxic CD8+ TRM cells in aged mice. PD-1 blockade of aged mice during rechallenge infection resulted in improved clinical outcomes that paralleled reduced accumulation of CD8+ TRM cells. These findings suggest that PD-1 signaling impaired CD8+ T cell granzyme B production and contributed to CD8+ TRM cell accumulation in the aged lung. These findings have implications for future research investigating PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors as a potential therapeutic option for elderly patients with severe respiratory viral infections.

Published: November 2023

Context

Shoulder muscles are active during front-crawl swimming to provide propulsion and stabilize the glenohumeral and scapulothoracic joints. Researchers have proposed that fatigue might contribute to altered activation of these muscles and represent a risk factor for injuries. Tensiomyography (TMG) might function as a noninvasive tool to detect changes in contractile measures of the skeletal muscles due to exercise-induced neuromuscular fatigue, though it has not yet been used in the shoulder muscles of swimmers.

Objective

To assess the effects of a fatiguing swimming protocol on shoulder muscle TMG measures and isometric strength in competitive swimmers.

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Setting

Swimming pool facility.

Patients or Other Participants

A total of 14 young front-crawl competitive swimmers (11 males and 3 females; age = 21 ± 3 years [range, 17–26 years], height = 1.78 ± 0.06 m, mass = 73.1 ± 9.2 kg).

Main Outcome Measure(s)

Participants completed TMG and isometric strength assessments before and after 30-minute, high-intensity swim training. The TMG assessment was performed on 7 muscles of the shoulder according to front-crawl biomechanics and the applicability of the technique to obtain data, such as time to contraction and muscle-belly radial displacement. Isometric strength was assessed using a digital handheld dynamometer during shoulder flexion, extension, external rotation, and internal rotation.

Results

Fatigue induced a smaller radial displacement, mostly observable in latissimus dorsi (−1.0 mm; 95% CI = −1.7, −0.3 mm; P = .007) and pectoralis major muscles (−1.4 mm; 95% CI = −2.4, −0.4 mm; P = .007). Only shoulder extension showed an isometric strength reduction after the fatiguing protocol (−0.03 N/kg; 95% CI = −0.05, −0.01 N/kg; F1,13 = 4.936; P = .045; ηp2 = 0.275).

Conclusions

This study provides preliminary evidence for the usefulness of TMG to detect fatigue-induced changes in contractile properties of the shoulder muscles in swimmers, in particular the latissimus dorsi and pectoralis major.

Przekład jako interpretacja, czyli jak krytyka przekładu porządkuje interpretacje literaturoznawców

Translation as Interpretation: How Translation Criticism Organizes Literary Studies Scholars’ Interpretations

The article discusses the concept of translation as interpretation. I propose an analysis of translation techniques used by two Polish literary scholars and translators, Tadeusz Komendant and Michał Paweł Markowski. I compare their translations and divide them into two categories: “critical” and “unnatural” (in the case of Komendant) and “vulnerable” and “existential” (Markowski). I argue that a critical analysis of translation is necessary to justify the adopted strategy of interpretation which occupies a privileged position in these texts. I also use translation criticism as a “structuring” criterion to establish a certain hierarchy which exists, more or less explicitly, in the field of literary scholars’ translations. In order to do so, I juxtapose Markowski’s views with the those of Tomasz Swoboda in his Repetition and Difference (2014). I attempt to demonstrate that translation criticism allows not only for the articulation of the underlying pattern behind a translation, but also problematizes some issues related to the translator’s and author’s subjective scope of responsibility. In this way, I come to the conclusion that translation criticism reveals important qualities of a text, usually overlooked by strictly literary approaches. I acknowledge and confirm an important role it plays in building self-awareness and participating in self-knowledge within literary studies.

Bulgular: Çalışanların %43.6’sının fazla kilolu, %57.3’ünün sigara kullanmadığı, %51.9’unun alkol almadığı, %21,6’sının kronik hastalığı olduğu belirlenmiştir. FINDRISK puan ortalaması 8.74±4.64 (0-22) bulunurken, FINDRISK puanları sınıflandırıldığında ise %38.3’ü düşük diyabet riskli saptanırken %2.4’ü ise çok yüksek diyabet riskli saptandı. Sağlıklı yaşam farkındalığı puan ortalamasının 59.29±8.08 ile ortalamanın üzerinde olduğu bulundu. Sağlıklı yaşam farkındalığını 1 birim artırmak diyabet riskini 0.11 birim düşürmektedir. Kadın cinsiyette olmak diyabet riskini 0.18 birim, 2. Grup bel çevresine sahip olmak 0.28 birim, 3. Grup bel çevresi ise 0.41 birim artırdığı saptandı. Bu değişkenlerin diyabet riskinde meydana gelen değişimlerin %50.6’sını açıkladığı bulundu.
Sonuç: Sağlıklı yaşam farkındalığının azalması, beden kütle indeksinin artması, yaş almak, kadın cinsiyet ve bel çevresinin artması diyabet riskini artırmakta olup bu değişkenler diyabet riskinde meydana gelen değişimlerin yarısını açıklayabilmektedir.

Yaşlı bireyler, pandemide en çok etkilenen ve ölüm oranının yüksek olduğu bireylerdir. Yaşlı bireylerin sağlıklı yaşam davranışları, bu konudaki farkındalıkları ve pandemi sürecindeki bilişsel, ruhsal ve davranışsal değişkenlerle ilişkisinin incelenmesi önemlidir. Çalışmada, yaşlı bireylerin COVID-19 pandemi sürecinde sağlıklı yaşam farkındalığı düzeylerinin belirlenmesi ve pandemi sürecindeki bilişsel, ruhsal ve davranışsal değişkenlerle ilişkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini 204 yaşlı birey oluşturmuştur. Araştırmanın verileri Kasım 2021- Kasım 2022 tarihleri arasında, yüz yüze görüşme yöntemi ile toplanmıştır. Veriler, “Tanımlayıcı Bilgiler Anketi” ve “Sağlıklı Yaşam Farkındalığı Ölçeği (SYFÖ)” kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler, normal dağılım gösteren verilerin karşılaştırılmasında iki bağımsız grup arasındaki fark için bağımsız t testi, ikiden fazla bağımsız grup karşılaştırılmasında ise tek yönlü varyans analizi uygulanmıştır. Katılımcıların %57,8’ini sağlığını orta düzeyde algıladıkları, %62,3’ünün COVID-19 pandemisinde sağlık durumunda değişiklik olduğunu ve %51,0’ı bu değişikliği sağlığında kötüleşme olarak ifade etmiştir. Yaşlı bireylerin %82,4’ünün COVID-19 pandemi sürecinde yaşam biçiminde davranış değişikliği yaptığı ve en çok kişisel bakımla ilgili değişiklik yapıldığı (%52,0) belirlenmiştir. Katılımcıların Sağlıklı Yaşam Farkındalık Ölçeği puan ortalaması 50,70±9,91 olup, farkındalık ölçeği ve alt boyutları ile evli olma, üniversite mezunu olma, eş ile yaşama ve sağlık durumunun iyi olması arasında anlamlı bir fark olduğu (p<0,05) saptanmıştır. Pandemi sürecinde yaşlı bireylerin sağlıklı yaşam farkındalığı geliştirdiği ve bu farkındalığın evli olma, eğitimli olma, yalnız yaşamama ve sağlık durumunun iyi olması ile ilişkili olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sağlıklı yaşam farkındalığının düşük olduğu belirlenen yalnız yaşayan, eğitim düzeyi düşük olan bireylere yönelik sağlıklı yaşam farkındalığı konusunda eğitim verilmesi, yaşlı bireylerin bakım ve tedavisinde rol oynayan sağlık profesyonellerinin bu değişkenleri bilerek müdahalelerini planlaması önerilmektedir.
Impacto de los vehículos eléctricos en condominios residenciales

Published: November 2023

El número de vehículos eléctricos en Costa Rica ha aumentado constantemente en los últimos años. Si se toma en cuenta la capacidad adquisitiva, es probable que los dueños de los vehículos eléctricos vivan en condominios residenciales horizontales o verticales, los cuales tienen un único punto de conexión con la red de distribución eléctrica. Por este motivo, un aumento significativo de vehículos eléctricos en un condominio horizontal o vertical puede poner en riesgo la capacidad del circuito, especialmente el transformador y las protecciones. Este artículo estudia el impacto que puede tener la instalación de cargadores para vehículos eléctricos en un condominio. Además, se compararon diferentes estrategias de minimización del impacto técnico y para el usuario. Los resultados demuestran que el uso de energías renovables no es recomendable dadas las distribuciones de probabilidad de tiempo de carga de los vehículos eléctricos. En cambio, el uso de estrategias de gestión de la energía resulta la alternativa más atractiva.

Published: November 2023

6 Şubat 2023 tarihinde Kahramanmaraş ilinde aynı gün içerisinde iki yıkıcı deprem meydana gelmiştir. Bu çalışma kapsamında Pazarcık (Mw 7.7) ve Elbistan (Mw 7.6) depremleri sonrasında iki betonarme prefabrik endüstri yapısında meydana gelen hasarlar incelenmiştir. Türkiye Bina Deprem Yönetmeliğinde (TBDY 2018) prefabrik yapılar için moment aktaran ve moment aktarmayan farklı bağlantı tipleri bulunmasına rağmen, uygulamada genellikle moment aktarmayan pimli bağlantılar tercih edilmektedir. Pimli bağlantılar hızlı ve pratik uygulama sağlamasına rağmen deprem sırasında gevrek hasarlar almaktadır. Ayrıca bu birleşimlerde makas kirişlerinin düzlem dışı devrilme riski de bulunmaktadır. Yapılan saha incelemelerinde pimli bağlantıya sahip birleşimlerde ciddi gevrek hasarlar gözlemlenmiştir. Deprem hasarları incelendiğinde betonarme prefabrik yapılarda sünek davranış sağlayacak birleşim yöntemlerinin tercih edilmesi gerektiği görülmektedir.
A class of single-step hybrid block methods with equally spaced points for general third-order ordinary differential equations

Published: November 2023

This study presents a class of single-step, self-starting hybrid block methods for directly solving general third-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) without reduction to first order equations. The methods are developed through interpolation and collocation at systematically selected evenly spaced nodes with the aim of boosting the accuracy of the methods. The zero stability, consistency and convergence of the algorithms are established. Scalar and systems of linear and nonlinear ODEs are approximated to test the effectiveness of the schemes, and the results obtained are compared against other methods from the literature. Significantly, the study shows that an increase in the number of intra-step points improves the accuracy of the solutions obtained using the proposed methods.
Paleografías, una arqueología de la memoria
Authors: Yanez Adelso
Published: November 2023

Este ensayo se centra en un acercamiento al estudio de la novela Paleografías, un texto de la reconocida escritora venezolana Victoria de Stefano. El análisis se ocupa del diálogo que el narrador culto establece con un número significativo de referentes intertextuales de la literatura europea. El examen recurre, en particular, al pensamiento benjaminiano, al método de excavación, a la memoria y noción del lazo semántico entre las palabras y las emociones. La reflexión pone de relieve que la memoria no es un simple cúmulo de recuerdos sino un trabajo riguroso y metódico que el individuo lleva a cabo para descubrir lo más profundo de su ser. El acto de rememoración suele estar unido al recuerdo vívido en un presente que aborda los más mínimos detalles de la historia del personaje Augusto.

San Francisco de Sales, modelo de pastor posconciliar
Authors: Viguera Franco Valentín
Published: November 2023

Después de la celebración del Concilio de Trento, muchos obispos intentaron poner en práctica tanto los decretos doctrinales como los disciplinares para llevar a cabo una reforma de la Iglesia "in capite et in membris". El obispo de Ginebra, Francisco de Sales, aplica los diferentes decretos, no sólo con firmeza y frialdad, sino también con la dulzura del buen pastor y la dulzura salesiana. Su reforma alcanza tanto al clero secular como al religioso, así como a las instituciones eclesiásticas y a los laicos. Los sínodos diocesanos, su acción pastoral y su doctrina, tanto teológica como espiritual, hicieron posible la reforma de la diócesis, que había sufrido la decadencia típica de su época y que había estado dominada por la doctrina calvinista en gran parte.
Aproximación al pensamiento y la obra de Dionisio Cartujano y su influencia en España
Authors: Cantera Montenegro Santiago
Published: November 2023

La polifacética figura de Dionisio de Rijkel, Dionisio Cartujo (1402-1471), no es tan conocida en España como merece. Hombre inclinado a la Ife intelectual y espiritual, estudió en la Universidad de Colonia e ingresó en la Orden Cartuja, donde escribió numerosas obras y se le encomendaron diversas tareas, destacando por sus experiencias místicas. A grandes rasgos, su pensamiento evolucionó desde el tomismo hacia una "teología mística' cercana a la del otro gran Dionisio, el Pseudo-Dionisio Areopagita.
