Published: October 2024

Background: The aim of this research is to investigate the thermal behavior of a composite fuel prepared by mixing diesel fuel with citrus peel powder in the presence of activators and combustion accelerators. The study focused on utilizing abundant citrus waste, such as lemon and orange peels, as sustainable bioresources to reduce environmental pollution and optimize fuel efficiency. The research explored the thermal properties of the composite fuel and compared it with pure diesel through combustion experiments conducted at atmospheric pressure and combustion pressure in the engine. Methods: The study set the limits of the investigation to various proportions of lemon and orange peel powder mixed with diesel, ranging from 5% to 15% by mass of the total fuel composite. Two catalysts, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4), along with calcium oxide (CaO) powder were incorporated into the mixtures as activators to enhance combustion efficiency. The composite fuel characterization included thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and thermographmetric station experiments to observe the combustion processes and assess the thermal behavior of the composite fuel. Results: The results revealed four distinct phases of combustion during the burning time of 60 seconds: volatile combustion, liquid combustion, combustion of solid materials, and the interaction of active substances with combustion residues. Using activators and catalysts significantly enhanced combustion efficiency and minimized the amount of residue produced during the process, resulting in thermal behavior that is more similar to that of pure diesel. Lemon peel powder with activators demonstrates better thermal behavior compared to orange peel powder. Conclusions: Based on the findings, some recommendations are proposed for further development such as the optimization of activator ratios, exploration of different proportions of lemon and orange peel powder, and investigation of other catalysts. Real-world engine performance tests and emission profile analysis can validate the thermal behavior results obtained from combustion experiments.

Published: October 2024

Amid the lingering impacts of COVID-19, consistently shifting between online and face-to-face educational settings can be particularly challenging for language teachers and learners. Regardless of the learning environment, it is crucial to provide language learners with opportunities to engage in interactive and communicative activities both in and outside the classroom. In the context of a liminal pandemic era, this article aims to share task-supported learning activities developed for Korean learners at the beginner level. The developed task set contains in-class and out-of-class tasks focused on developing the three modes of communication (interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational) and intercultural competence. Given as open educational resources (OER), these collaboratively developed tasks have been piloted across two higher education settings in the United States, demonstrating their sustainability in various learning environments, whether they be online, in person, or hybrid. These tasks that are designed based on the backward design process provide a systematic roadmap for the transition from perception-based tasks to production-based tasks that adhere to the NCSSFL-ACTFL Can-Do Statements (2017). Students’ reflections and instructors’ observations indicate that these tasks and assessment tools are beneficial in developing students’ language capacities, intercultural competencies, and sense of achievement in learning.

The Potable Steinbeck: Prohibition Protagonists as Seen through the Lens of Alcohology
Authors: Donohue Cecilia
Published: October 2024

Critical and biographical writings on John Steinbeck have identified and described the writer’s propensity to engage in alcoholic consumption. Labeled by one critic as a “hard drinker” on a par with his contemporary Ernest Hemingway, Steinbeck could be said to have “written what he knew” given the plurality of drinking episodes in his writings. Drawing on the the social, economic, and historic aspects of Prohibition as well as the findings of anthropologists whose behavioral research focused on alcohol consumption as “constructive drinking,” this study examines selected characters in The Long Valley, Steinbeck’s Prohibition-era short stories. While the motivations behind the drinking of the Long Valley denizens may run contrary to anthropological findings, such diversion from the expected is lent credence given the impact of Prohibition, with its overarching backdrops of crime, suppression, and violence, upon John Steinbeck.

Published: October 2024

Several factors influence hoof size which largely determine the normal function of the equine limbs. The effects of shoeing and body indices on hoof morphometry among Sudanese country-bred polo horses in Nigeria were evaluated in the present study. Apparently healthy, shod/barefooted Sudanese country-bred mares without hoof abnormalities were randomly selected and included in the present study. As body indices, we measured the height at withers, heart-girth, body length, and body weight; as hoof parameters, we measured the toe length, solar length, hoof width, and dorsal and ventral hoof wall width on all limbs. Pearson correlation analysis and the independent sample T test were applied for data analysis. The mean height, body weight, heart girth and body length of the Sudanese country-bred horses were 1589.5 ± 56.0 mm, 430.8 ± 42.9 kg, 1758.8±65.31mm and 1649.4±50.03mm respectively which were not significantly different between the shod and barefooted. The dorsal hoof wall width and the hoof solar length and width between the shod and barefooted groups differed statistically significantly (p<0.05). In Sudanese country-bred mares, there was a strong positive correlation that was different significantly between the heart-girth, body length, and body weight. Hoof morphometry and body indices showed a strong positive correlation. The most important ratios relating to hoof size differences between horses with shoes and those without were the hoof index, length, and width to body measurement ratios. According to this study, Sudanese Country-bred horses' hoof morphometry is significantly impacted by shoeing and body indices.

Authors: Yang Xiaotong , REGINA B.NACIONAL
Published: October 2024

As to the observations of administrators, there are problems with inclusiveness in dance routines due to the existence of cultural differences. Considering inclusivity in dancing routines is crucial, especially in a world abundant with ethnic diversity. Dance, being a universally understood form of communication, allows individuals to express themselves; nonetheless, it can unintentionally marginalize people or communities whose cultural customs and traditions deviate from the prevailing standards. The choreographic decisions made by dance instructors or organizations frequently mirror the cultural origins of people in authoritative roles, leading to a limited portrayal of dance styles. The absence of inclusivity not only reduces the depth of the art form but also isolates dancers who may feel compelled to adhere to styles that do not align with their ethnic identities.Therefore, the recommendations of the administrators are curriculum enhancement, emphasis on inclusivity and equity on employing the range of instructional methods. The codes highlighted the efforts of instructors to establish inclusive and supportive settings that respect varied cultural origins. Nevertheless, it also highlights the necessity for more organized direction to guarantee uniformity in these endeavors. Implementing structured frameworks and providing comprehensive training can ensure a standardized approach, equipping all teachers with the necessary skills to create an inclusive atmosphere for their students. An environment that provides support in dancing sports is essential for the comprehensive growth of athletes. This environment promotes emotional fortitude, stimulates daring behavior, and nurtures a feeling of camaraderie among individuals involved. In the realm of dance sports, where the realms of artistic expression and physical prowess intersect, the presence of coaches, teammates, and families who provide support can have a tremendous influence on an athlete's success.

Published: October 2024

In the context of rapidly changing geopolitical dynamics and constant evolution in the tourism sector, the effectiveness of educational programs in tourism has become critically important for preparing professionals capable of adapting to new challenges.
This article focuses on the use of the Kirkpatrick Model as a strategic tool for evaluating and improving professional higher education programs in tourism. Based on four levels of evaluation — reaction, learning, behavior, and results — the model is adapted to the specifics of educational programs in the field of tourism, offering a comprehensive analysis methodology.
The aim of adapting the Kirkpatrick Model is to diagnose and address the vulnerabilities of educational programs, refine curricula, and introduce innovative courses that meet both current and projected sector needs. This approach is particularly relevant in the light of the rapidly changing requirements of the tourism industry, where it is crucial not only to provide up-to-date knowledge but also to develop students’ skills in critical thinking, adaptation, and innovative problem-solving.
Applying to the Kirkpatrick Model to university programs in tourism ensures not only high quality of education but also its relevance and practical orientation. This paves the way for creating a new generation of tourism professionals, prepared to work effectively in the conditions of global competition and changing market demands. Such an approach not only improves educational programs but also enhances the international competitiveness of graduates, which is a key factor for success in the modern tourism industry.

Authors: Sargsyan S. , Manukyan V. , Nikoghosyan G. , Sarukhanyan A. G A.
Published: October 2024

This work is devoted to the use of kinematic methods in the process of solving geometric problems. The first part of the work is devoted to solving geometric problems by considering the movements of some image points. The minimum knowledge required to apply the kinematic method in elementary geometry is briefly outlined. Then a solution to a generalized version of a well-known geometric problem is presented. The importance of studying elements of operator calculus from an interdisciplinary perspective is also presented. The next part of the article examines problems selected according to the principle of gradual complication, from high school to bachelor’s degree. In these problems, the radius of curvature at various points is determined by kinematic way. Using the result of solving a kinematic problem about a body thrown in a horizontal direction, the expression for the radius of curvature of a parabola is determined. One physical method for determining the radius of curvature of a cycloid is presented. The problem of motion, which generates the equations of an ellipse and a hyperbola, is considered, and a kinematic version of determining the radii of curvature at the points of intersection of these curves and axes of symmetry is presented. The main methodological novelty of the work lies in the development, generalization and systematic presentation of kinematic problems that bring geometric results. Some methodological guidelines and arguments are also given to substantiate the importance of the discussed kinematic approaches to solving geometric problems.

Published: October 2024

In the 1840s, the Polish patriotic and secret societies began preparing for
another struggle for independence and freedom. In 1846 in Krakow the Polish
revolted and which drew the attention of the Armenian press.
The Polish national liberation struggle did not escape the attention of the
Armenian periodicals of the time. The newspapers ‘The Arshaluys Araratyan"
and "Azgaser"newspapers of the Western Armenian national-conservative
current directly referred to it. Based on the news received from the European
press, these periodicals covered the struggle of the Polish from their
ideological point of view. Current ideologues and periodicals advocated
maintaining the existing political balance in Europe and did not encourage any
revolt against the authorities.
The Smyrn-Armenian newspaper ‗‘The Arshaluys Araratyan‘‘, while

Communication about Complementary Medicine in Oncology
Authors: Mentink Marit
Published: October 2024

This book describes research on communication about complementary medicine in oncology in the Netherlands. It focuses on how complementary medicine is discussed, which forms of complementary medicine are effective and safe, and how cancer patients can be supported in this communication.Research methods included observations of 80 audio recordings of oncology consultations, interviews with 17 patients and 13 healthcare providers, an online questionnaire completed by 1481 complementary therapists, and an overview of 100 systematic reviews on complementary therapies. To support patient-provider communication, a question prompt sheet and a slideshow were developed. These tools were evaluated by 144 patients.The results show that the topic of complementary medicine is usually initiated by patients. Skepticism, lack of knowledge, and time constraints among healthcare providers are barriers to discussing complementary medicine. Complementary medicine practitioners experience little openness to interprofessional communication among healthcare providers. Both patients and healthcare providers advocate for routine communication and easily accessible information about complementary medicine. Two communication-supporting tools were positively received, although the need for support varies greatly among patients.There is a need for effective communication and reliable information about complementary medicine in Dutch oncology care. Routine, open communication about complementary medicine can be an important first step.
