Assessing the Impacts of Globalization on Kwasi Wiredu’s Conceptual Decolonization in African Philosophy
Authors: Okolisah Chinenye Precious
Published: September 2020

There are two fundamental ideas in which Kwasi Wiredu apply his conceptual decolonization. These to him are two complementary things that are both negative and positive. In the negative sense, Wiredu’s conceptual decolonization is the process that seeks to avoid and reverse “through a critical self-awareness the unexamined assimilation” in the thoughts of contemporary African philosophers those conceptual frameworks that are found in western or other philosophical cultures that have influenced African ways of life and thought. On the positive side, conceptual decolonization to Wiredu involves the exploitation of the vast “resources” of African conceptual frameworks in philosophical exercises or reflections on all the basic and crucial problems of contemporary philosophy. This establishes Wiredu’s conceptual decolonization on historical foundation of the African problems through the process of colonialism. This historical trend in Africa has significant impacts on the whole of African system, which include education, politics, culture, science, technology, religion, culture, language, and thought patterns. These suggest that African contemporary systems are greatly influenced through the means of language, religion and politics; and the methods of science and technology. However, a critical reflection on these indicate that Wiredu’s conceptual decolonization is distinctly opposed to the principles and tenets of globalization as a socio-political concept that is inspired by economic ideas, which are anchored on technological innovativeness and development. This explains the fact that globalization is driven by technological revolutionary and innovative ideas that are powered and energized by information, computer technology (ICT). This process thrives to link the world to a common system of circuit from where all knowledge and activities in the world can be viewed and known. This characteristically shrinks the world to what has been described as “global village” in an integrative pattern. These clearly in diverse manners promote interculturalism and interdependence to the extent that no nation or continent can be seen as an island. The world through globalization has been fused in a way that Wiredu’s conceptual decolonization has been rendered a philosophical failed project with no practical and epistemological relevance. In this paper therefore, effort will be made to assess the impacts of globalization on Wiredu’s conceptual decolonization. We submit that globalization has a more pragmatic, socio-economic and political allures to prevent Wiredu’s conceptual decolonization from making any positive impact on African philosophy. Our approach here will be analytic and speculative.
An Essencist Evaluation of Socio-Economic Impacts of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Pandemic in Nigeria
Authors: Ekanem Samuel Asuquo , Imarenezor Edobor Peter Kenneth , Okolisah Chinenye Precious
Published: September 2020

There is a tripartite global crises of social, economic and health unlike any in the past almost eight decades history of the United Nations that is fast killing people, increasing and spreading human woes and sufferings with an unending existential calamities. This is indeed, beyond health, economic and social crises. It is evidently human existential crises that have the potency and potential to bring about existential eclipse of the human race. The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is wreaking havoc on societies at their core. With the International Monetary Fund (IMF) reassessment of the prospect for growth for 2020 and 2021, and the declaration that there is a global recession that is as bad as or even worse than the 2009 situation, Nigeria socio-economic survival is at risk. The only hope of any recovery in 2021 is if the country succeeds in containing the pandemic and take sound and necessary economic decisions and measures. The only roadmap for the socio-economic survival of the country will depend on the proactive management approaches, health policy framework and leadership that will comprehensively address the several social conditions that have to do with health education and literacy level, both nationally and internationally in the areas of economic stimulus that will demand both government and citizens partnerships and the constitution of National Technical Committee on Coronavirus (NTCC) that will relate with a global technical body. The efficient execution of these policy and ideas will certainly demand the total cooperation of all strata of the society, which will include governmental agencies, information experts, civil societies, health experts, educationists and the citizens. What the paper therefore advocates is a multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches anchored on a sound philosophy through the educational process towards overcoming this 21st century invisible monster. Our approach in this paper will be a combination of analysis and philosophical evidential speculation, which will inspire creativity that will match the novel nature of the crisis.

Aristóteles, Hobbes e Habermas
Authors: Ribeiro Felipe
Published: September 2020

Resumo

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo comparar duas noções diferentes de política, correlatas a duas noções como que simétricas e opostas do que seja a natureza humana, a saber: o conceito aristotétlica de política, e o conceito hobbesiana da mesma. Enquanto a noção teleológica da política aristotélica, segundo a qual a parte é anterior ao todo, o conduzia a tese segundo a qual o homem é naturalmente político, a inflexão materialista-mecanicista da filosofia hobbesiana acabaria por inverter esse quadro: o indivíduo, entendido como conjunto de relações mecânicas torna-se o centro da análise filosófica, e a política passa a ser uma convenção criada pacificar o estado de guerra de todos contra todos. Como interpretar essa transformação do sentido da política? Recorremos a um argumento de Habermas, segundo o qual o conceito hobbesiana de política corresponde ao aparecimento do mercado capitalista, que reifica as relações humanas e subordina a política à busca pelas satisfações materiais individuais. Nesse sentido, mais do que mera opção metodológica, a filosofia de Hobbes ganha o interesse para um diagnóstico de época, de como a política passa a operar com a generalização das relações de mercado.

 

Abstract

The objective of the present work is to compare two different notions of politics correlated to two oppositive notions of what the human nature is: the aristotelian conception of politics, and the hobbesian one. While Aritotle’s theleological notion of politics, that conceives the whole as prior to the parts, made him defend the theses according to which man is by nature a political being, the materialist turn took by hobbesian philosophy would invert this previous scene: the individual, understoond as a compound of mechanical relations, becomes the center of the analisys, and politics becomes a convetion created to pacify the state of war of all against all. What could one say about this transformation of the very notion of politics? We will resort at this point to an argument put foward by Habermas, according to which the hobbesian notion of politics corresponds to the rise of the capitalist market that reifies human relations and subjects politics to the search for invidual material satisfactions. Thus, more than a mere methodological alternative, Hobbes’s political philosophy reveals itself as an epoch diagnosis about the transformation of politics due to the generalization of market relations.

Arábia Saudita e Irã: rivalidade e disputa pela hegemonia no Golfo Pérsico
Authors: Pidone Costa Beatriz
Published: September 2020

Resumo

O sectarismo religioso, considerado como um dos principais motivos que levaram à disputa entre Arábia Saudita e Irã, é utilizado como instrumento político por esses Estados em prol de seus interesses. As relações entre ambos tiveram um início cooperativo, porém, após a Revolução Iraniana de 1979, passaram apenas a se deteriorar. O embate entre os países islâmicos se acirrou, impulsionado pelas intervenções americanas na região; pela Primavera Árabe; e pela crise de legitimidade dos governos islâmicos. Atualmente, sem perspectivas de reatamento, as relações diplomáticas entre os países encontram-se rompidas. Enquanto o Irã vem ganhando espaço e influência, apesar de sérios problemas internos; a Arábia Saudita, mesmo com força regional e novas estratégias para sua política externa e interna, se vê prejudicada e enfraquecida.

Palavras-chave: Arábia Saudita; Irã; Golfo Pérsico; rivalidade; hegemonia.

 

Abstract

Religious sectarianism, considered one of the main reasons that led to the dispute between Saudi Arabia and Iran, is used as a political instrument by these states for their interests. The relations between them had a cooperative beginning, but after the Iranian Revolution in 1979, they only deteriorated. The clash between Islamist countries has stirred up, boosted by US interventions in the region; by the Arab Spring; and by the legitimacy crisis of Islamic governments. Currently, with no prospect of reattachment, the diplomatic ties of both countries remain severed. While Iran has been gaining space and influence, despite serious internal problems; Saudi Arabia, even with regional strength and new strategies for its foreign and domestic policy, feels undermined and weakened.

Published: September 2020

Esse ensaio etnográfico respalda-se no trabalho de campo realizado no restaurante universitário do campus Santo André, da Universidade Federal do ABC (UFABC). Utilizando-me de um arcabouço conceitual da antropologia, composto em especial pelos conceitos do nativo etnógrafo e da etnografia urbana, procurei me debruçar sobre o que o RU de Santo André representa para os seus frequentadores e demais pessoas que compartilham esse espaço. Nesse sentido, me propus a observar de que modo os agrupamentos universitários são reconstituídos no seu interior, e quais seriam as características condicionantes do RU que balizam a interação das pessoas que compartilham esse espaço social. Por meio da realização de observações etnográficas e entrevistas semiestruturadas em campo, destacou-se a hipótese interpretativa de que os elementos arquitetônicos desse campo definem sua lógica processual própria, a qual, entrelaçando os contextos, interações, e relações sociais trazidos por seus frequentadores, promove uma expressividade única.

Comunidade Andina de Nações e Aliança do Pacífico
Authors: Campos Gal Paulo Henrique
Published: September 2020

Os diferentes modelos de integração regional na América Latina são, historicamente, processos que se sobrepõem e contrapõem mutuamente, compartilhando características ao mesmo tempo que disputam com veemência sua visão de futuro para uma região que está longe de poder se considerar como integrada. Os latino-americanos viram, ao longo das décadas, projetos de integração ascenderem e sucumbirem pelos mais diversos motivos, seja pela alternância de perfil dos governos negociadores, seja pelo contexto internacional, entre outros. É nesse contexto incerto e irregular que a Comunidade Andina de Nações e a Aliança do Pacífico, blocos que pertencem a diferentes eixos de integração, disputam pela preponderância na sub-região andina, cujos países, apesar de compartilharem muitas semelhanças históricas e culturais, no tocante à integração, se encontram em profunda discórdia.

The different models of regional integration in Latin America are, historically, processes that overlap and contrast each other, sharing characteristics while vehemently dispute their vision of future for a region that is far from being labelled as integrated. Over the decades, Latin Americans have seen projects of integration rise and fall for the most diverse reasons, either by the alternating profile of the negotiating governments, or by the international context, among others. It is in this uncertain and irregular context that the Andean Community of Nations and the Pacific Alliance (blocks that belong to different integration axes) race for the preponderance in the Andean sub-region, whose countries, despite sharing many historical and cultural similarities, are in deep disagreement when it comes to integration.

STRIP SEEDING OF GRASS IN MEADOWS
Authors: Sereda Leonid , Shvets Ludmila , Trukhanska Elena
Published: September 2020

For the successful development of animal husbandry in Ukraine, it is necessary to increase the area of pastures for which it is necessary to lend some of the arable land and re-plant some of the existing pastures, creating cultural pastures with a productivity of 60-80 c. fodder units per hectare.
For rejuvenation of existing grasslands, the technology of direct sowing with minimal tillage is increasingly used. These technologies include operations to suppress existing grasses and sow the seeds of valuable fodder grasses into grooves specially prepared in the turf.
Domestic and foreign experience shows that sowing herbs in pre-treated strips is more effective than traditional methods. The traditional technology of re-insulation of such bows is associated with considerable energy and labor costs and is also erosion-hazardous in areas with a slope angle exceeding 3%. Therefore, for such areas it is necessary to use re-salting technology without completely destroying the turf and to use special seeders of different designs, which perform in one pass the strip tillage, sowing of grass seeds and sealing. Therefore, this method of redevelopment is highly productive and therefore promising in Ukraine.
The idea of sowing grass seeds in a cultivated strip of soil in the turf is the basis of the technology of direct accelerated grassland re-grassing. The cultivated strip of soil must meet the agrotechnical requirements for the quality of cultivation in growing grasses.
The implementation of the proposed technology of direct strip sowing of grasses in the existing herbage is possible only in the presence of perfect working bodies. Foreign and domestic seeders intended for direct sowing of herbs in the turf do not fully meet the agrotechnical requirements for the quality of processing of the turf strip, so the technology of direct sowing with a developed, active working body in the form of a cutter is proposed.
INNOVATIVE ENERGY EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGIES OF THE SOYE
EXTRACTION PROCESS
Authors: Bandura Valentyna
Published: September 2020

The key process for extracting oils from raw materials is extraction. In this case, extraction is a complex and time-consuming process. The extraction process is characterized by low intensity. One of the most promising and innovative methods of extracting plant material is the use of microwave technologies. As there are no generally accepted recommendations for microwave extraction regimens and extract properties, this makes it impossible to create the appropriate technology and to develop a microwave extractor to obtain the target substances.
The article reviews the existing equipment for extraction of various raw materials. It is shown that pulsed electromagnetic field is an effective tool for the implementation of microwave technology. The degree of intensification of mass transfer processes with the application of directional energy diffusion technologies can be much higher than the possibilities of traditional technologies. Scientists study that traditional processes take 3 hours or more, and the process of barodiffusion plus gravity takes less than 30 minutes.
The results of the study of the innovative process of soybean extraction using microwave technologies are presented in the article. With increasing temperature, the extraction rate increased, which was associated with an increase in the rates of chemical reactions and diffusion coefficients, a positive effect on the kinetic, internally and externally diffusive nucleus, the driving force of the process increased, and the resistance to its course decreased. The intensification of the extraction process by the microwave field occurs by increasing the pressure inside the capillaries of the vegetable raw materials, with their subsequent destruction and maximum flow of the target component into the extractant. There is a flow of diffusion, which contributes to a significant reduction in time and increase the extraction of valuable components from raw materials.
The use of microwave technologies is real and promising as the extraction process facilitates the release of the target component with a significant increase in the concentration (an average of 2 times) and a significant reduction in the oil extraction time.

Published: September 2020

The paper analyzes the energy potential of autonomous power supply based on renewable energy sources in a livestock farm. Based on calculations of the amount of farm waste that act as raw materials for a biogas power plant, the amount of electricity that can be produced from biogas has been determined. The value of electricity generation was also determined when a biogas plant and solar panels are used together in order to fully cover the need for electricity. It has been established that the use of renewable energy sources for autonomous power supply has significant potential for growth, in particular, the generation of electricity by a biogas power plant is calculated according to the minimum indicators for a cattle farm, provides 57% of the required electricity, in addition, there is also thermal energy, which is used for heating farms. The combined operation of the biogas plant and solar panels installed on the roof of the farm allows to cover the need for electricity with a reduction factor of 2.6 solar panels generation. The use of biogas obtained from the waste of a cattle farm and together with solar panels makes it possible to cover the need for electricity with a significant reserve. For a typical farm of 100 cattle, this stock is about 80%. The use of which is possible with the use of energy storage devices and the formation of a biogas reserve. It has been established that the electrical power of a biogas plant, which works in conjunction with solar panels, should be at least the average value of the power consumption to provide autonomous power supply to consumers of the livestock farm, especially in the winter months when solar insolation is minimal.
RESEARCH OF THE FUNCTIONING AND OPTIMIZATION PROCESS
OF THE STRUCTURAL-TECHNOLOGICAL PARAMETERS
Authors: Yaropud Vitaliy
Published: September 2020

Domestic and foreign scientists in recent years have performed a considerable amount of scientific research on the biological justification of optimal combinations of microclimate parameters required for the normal development of animals. However, the results of the studies do not allow one to specify the optimal parameters for different species of animals, taking into account their age, sex, weight and level of feeding. While it is possible to specify rather wide limits of change of temperature and relative humidity of air at which productivity is maximum, and technical and economic efficiency is approximately the same.
Providing microclimate regulations in livestock premises is associated with significant costs of electricity and heat, which is about 17% of the producers' costs. To create a microclimate in livestock premises based on the above technological parameters and the analysis of the design features of the recuperators, two design and technological schemes of the three-pipe recuperator, which differ in the directions of movement of air flows, are proposed.
The purpose of the research is to increase the efficiency of the technological process of functioning of the three-pipe recuperator for livestock premises by substantiating its structural and mode parameters. The results of theoretical studies of pneumatic losses in the three-pipe recuperator determined the dependence of pressure and power losses on the length of the air duct of the three-pipe recuperator, the radius of the external duct and the volume flow rate of air.
As a result of theoretical studies, a mathematical model of the heat transfer process in a three-pipe heat exchanger was developed, with condensation in it, which allows to determine the temperature distribution of air flows by its length and its thermal capacity. The results of theoretical studies of the process of heat transfer in the design and technological schemes of a three-pipe recirculator with counter-current and direct-current showed that the counter-current variant is more effective. Optimization of the results of theoretical studies allowed us to determine the dependence of the design parameters of the three-pipe heat exchanger on the volumetric flow rate of air, subject to the highest useful thermal power.

Published: September 2020

In modern conditions, with insufficient resource supply for agriculture, the most popular in fodder production is resource-saving technologies that increase production of highly nutritious feed at a low cost of labor and money. In field fodder production, resource conservation can be achieved through the wider use of new approaches and crops in the harvesting - perennial leguminous grasses for harvesting hay, which have high environmental sustainability and competitive ability. The most important task of intensifying livestock in the winter is the harvesting of hay (haylage) from crops with a high content of protein and protein (carotene). As a result of the study of the size-mass characteristics of the most valuable feed-rich crop, rich in protein and amino acids, which is important when developing methods for preparing fodder from perennial leguminous herbs - alfalfa. Knowing the properties of alfalfa will allow to really reach the design and technological parameters. The linear dimensions of alfalfa are given to enable the design of mower conditioners with vertical placement of conditioner rollers (sizes of working bodies, their setting and operating modes).
According to the long-term results of the study of the size-mass characteristics of alfalfa, the features of varying the marked features and their correlation are established. Research data after mathematical processing made it possible to identify the correlation between the length of the stalk of alfalfa and its stability, which is an important indicator in the design of working bodies and the establishment of appropriate operating modes of mower conditioners with a vertical conditioner.
INFLUENCE OF THE QUANTITY OF TECHNOLOGICAL OPERATIONS FOR THE PROCESSING OF LYCERNY IN THE CUTTING ON ITS CHEMICAL COMPOSITION
Authors: Zhurenko Yuri
Published: September 2020

The chemical composition and nutritional value of alfalfa hay are influenced by: climatic conditions, soils, phase of development in the period of mowing mass, variety, technology of cultivation and harvesting, etc. Hay harvesting is associated with high nutrient losses due to leaf loss and inflorescence or significant energy consumption for artificial drying. Mechanical losses often exceed 40% or more, with more than half of them occurring in the field operations: mowing, flattening, stirring, raking and weight gain.
The question of the impact of the multiplicity of technological operations on the processing of the roll by elastic working bodies when harvesting hay from alfalfa on the chemical composition has not been sufficiently studied, which was the purpose of the research.Field technological experiments were carried out on pure crops of alfalfa of the blue Vinnychanka variety in different weather conditions. The results obtained by us in the field technological experiments show that the multiplicity of cultivation of the roll in the process of harvesting alfalfa for hay and weather conditions to some extent affect its quality and nutrient content in it.
Thus, the protein content in the initial mass (first experiment) was 15.61, in the hay prepared without the use of roll processing - 13.43, using a single treatment - 14.81, twice - 13.69 and three times 13.65% in dry matter.According to the results of the research, it was found that the hay harvested using single roll processing had the highest carotene content in natural mass - 32.4 mg / kg in the first and 30.4 mg / kg in the second experiments.No significant difference in the variants of experiments was observed in the content of ash and minerals, calcium and phosphorus. By all indicators of nutrient content, the technology of hay harvesting with the use of one-time processing of the roll per day was the best.

PROSPECTS FOR THE CREATION OF POLYMER FUNCTIONAL COATINGS WITH THE APPLICATION OF GASODYNAMIC DRAINING
Authors: Gaidamak Oleg , Matviychuk Viktor , Kucherenko Yulia
Published: September 2020

This article is devoted to the equipment for gas-dynamic spraying in order to simplify its design, to provide the possibility of adjusting the parameters (temperature, pressure, speed, ejection) of the air-polymer flow, and to clarify the fundamental possibility of creating polymer functional coatings with gas-dynamic spraying.
The polymeric materials, depending on their brand, are completely inert and do not react in any chemical reaction with food, animal waste products, acids and other corrosive media. It is known that polymeric materials can be attributed to the two main classes of reactants and thermoplastics. If the thermoplastic process of heating and cooling can occur repeatedly without changing their structure, then reactive plastics with a single heating with increasing time of elevated temperatures as a result of chemical processes occurring in them, transform into an insoluble solid state with the formation of a mesh structure of macromolecules. This process is irreversible, the products of the reactoplasts are destroyed by reheating at a sufficiently high temperature without first softening and thus cannot be recommended for their use in order to create polymer coatings by gas-dynamic sputtering.
The characteristics of the most common thermoplastics, such as polypropylene, polyethylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polyamides, are analyzed, and the conditions to be created for the successful application of functional polymer coatings. Experimental application of polymer coatings of the most common polymers. The results obtained indicate that the designed and manufactured prototype gasdynamic spraying device is capable of creating different modes of polymer coating.
That is to change and maintain the required temperature and pressure of compressed air. The results of the researches show a fundamental possibility to create polymer coatings from thermoplastics on metal surfaces by gas-dynamic spraying.
METHOD AND DEVICE OF DIRECT AUTOMATED MEASURING CONTROL OF THE INSULATION OF THE WINDING OF ELECTRIC MACHINES

Published: September 2020

Today, the vast majority of technological processes, both production and agriculture, are based on the use of electric machines. Among which, a significant part of production equipment requires the use of electric motors, the power of which exceeds hundreds of kilowatts. Such electric machines have also become widespread as generating equipment, where they are an integral part of power plants, both using traditional energy sources (thermal power plants, nuclear power plants, etc.), and renewable (hydroelectric power plants, wind farms, etc.), where the unit power of a single electrical machine is usually higher than in other sectors of economy.
When operating such equipment, systems for monitoring a significant number of technological parameters are often used, and in real time it characterizes the modes of their operation. This approach makes it possible to increase the reliability of operation and, with a fairly high probability, to avoid large-scale man-made threats that can be caused by an emergency failure of power electric machines (including powerful electric generators), which are quite often accompanied by the destruction of supporting structures, structural elements of industrial premises and can pose a threat to the life and health of production personnel. But the use of even the most modern systems for monitoring the technical condition does not provide one hundred percent reliability, and when operating electrical machines with a nominal power of the order of units of MW and below, their use can significantly increase the total cost of equipment with a still quite high level of occurrence of a serious man-made accident. Therefore, the development of direct methods and means for measuring the technical parameters of electrical machines in general, and insulation parameters in particular, is an urgent scientific and applied problem.
In the article was proposed a new method of direct automated measuring control of insulation of windings of an electric machine, based on the use of combined signals to determine the technical parameters of the insulation of electrical machine units. And also, the design of the measuring control has been developed, it implements the proposed method.
About the Ukrainian Church and the Studite monastery in Bethlehem. The history of one unfinished project of Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytskyi

In 1906, an all-Ukrainian national pilgrimage set off from Lviv to the Holy Land, in which more than 500 people took part. This was the first official pilgrimage from Ukraine after the glorious Danylo the Pilgrim. It became possible thanks to Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytskyi. The details of this pilgrimage are described in detail in a commemorative book entitled «How Russ followed in the footsteps of Danylo», published in 1907 by the Publishing House of the Basilian Fathers in Zhovkva. However, this book does not mention anything about one of the grandiose projects of Metropolitan Andrey in the Middle East, which consisted in the creation of a Studite Monastery and a Pilgrim Center for pilgrims from Ukraine in Bethlehem. Negotiations on this matter with the Melchite Patriarch Cyril VIII were initiated by Metropolitan Andrey. The core of the project was of a Uniate character, since in the Metropolitan’s plans the Monastery with a Pilgrimage Center was to become a place of mutual knowledge and rapprochement between Orthodox and Catholics. For the realization of this aim, Metropolitan Andrey had allocated very respectable funds, and also began to train appropriate personnel from the Studite monks. But, unfortunately, due to various circumstances, mainly because of the outbreak of the First World War, this project was never implemented. In the Central State Historical Archive of Lviv there are many documents that shed light on the various stages of the implementation of the project for the construction of the Studite monastery and pilgrimage center for the Ukrainians in Bethlehem.

This article presents the entire story of the planned but unfinished project of Metropolitan Andrey. Archival documents and their translations are published for the first time.

Keywords: Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytskyi, Patriarch Cyril VIII, monks of the Studites, father Pierre Kure, Sknylivska Lavra of St. Anthony of the Pechersky Studites Rules.

The work presents the main provisions underlying the program for axial compressors calculation anddesign. The calculation of head losses and grids deflection capacity is based on the formulas of A. Komarov. Themodel contains empirical coefficients, values of which are selected during verification of the program based onthe tests results of multistage compressors and compressor stages. The main equations and algorithm for pressuresand velocities calculation under the radial equilibrium condition are presented. The use of computer programsbased on these models in the design of a 4-stage gas turbine engine compressor of moderate power with a totalpressure ratio of 3.2 and a given velocity is shown. For the first compressor stage, two variants with differentflow coefficients were compared. Variant #1 is designed with the classic recommendation to approach the samemechanical gas energy at the exit of the stage along the radius. Variant #2 is designed for a smaller flowcoefficient, but in order to ensure radial equilibrium, it was necessary to introduce a significant unevenness ofmechanical energy supply along the radius. Due to the lower kinetic energy, variant 2 has a 1.9% higher stageefficiency. Despite the fact that the loss coefficients of the blade devices are lower for variant #1. The questionremains as to how much the unavoidable mixing losses of variant #2 will reduce its efficiency in the process ofgas mechanical energy equalizing.
Dynamic Graph based Method for Mining Text Data
Authors: Alzoubi Wael Ahmad
Published: September 2020

An improved graph based association rules mining (ARM) approach to extract association rules fromtext databases is proposed in this paper. The text document in the proposed technique is read only once to lookfor the terms whose occurrences are greater than some threshold value, these terms are stored in a file with theirfrequencies, then they are represented as nodes in a weighted directed graph where edges represent relationsbetween these terms, the edges will denote the associations between terms while the edges' weights denote thestrength or confidence of these rules. The proposed method is called Dynamic Graph based Rule Mining fromText (DGRMT) because the graph is built level by level according the length of a sentence (number of frequentterms). Weighted subgraph mining is used to ensure the efficiency and throughput of the proposed technique;only the most frequent subgraphs are extracted. The proposed technique is validated and evaluated using realworld textual data sets and compared with one of the best graph based rule mining technique, which is algorithmfor Generating Association Rules based on Weighting scheme(GARW). The results determine that the proposed approach is better than GARW on almost all textual datasets.
Trihelota, a new and unusual helotid beetle genus from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber (Coleoptera: Helotidae)
Authors: Tihelka Erok , Huang Diying , Cai Chenyang
Published: September 2020

A new genus belonging to the cucujoid family Helotidae, Trihelota gen. nov., is described from mid-Cretaceous (ca.99 million years old) amber from Kachin State, northern Myanmar, containing a single species T. fulvata sp. nov. The minute fossil was documented using fluorescence microscopy and X-ray microtomography to reveal fine morphological details. Trihelota is characterised by its transverse head, antennal club about 1.5 times longer than wide, pronotum almost parallel-sided, and elytra not costate. Notably, each elytron possesses three coloured spots, a character unique within Helotidae. The new genus considerably expands the known morphological disparity of Cretaceous helotids. A keyto extinct and extant genera of the family Helotidae is provided along with a checklist of fossil species.
