THERMODYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF THE OPEN SYSTEM OF THERMAL WATER DESALATION WITH AIR HEATING
Authors: Podstievaia T. , Sereda V.
Published: February 2024

With the increase in the world population and industrialization, the use of water resources for industry and domestic needs is also increasing. At the same time, the impact of the water sector on climate change is increasing due to emissions of greenhouse gases associated with the energy processes of water production, transportation and purification. Given that efforts aimed at mitigating the consequences of climate change are not enough today, it is very important to develop new ambitious strategies for sustainable development and decarbonization.

The purpose of the work is a mathematical study of the air humidification-dehumidification cycle to obtain fresh water and the search for optimal parameters that will ensure the maximum efficiency of the desalination process.

The principle of operation was considered and a mathematical model of the thermal water desalination system with air heating at the entrance to the humidifier in the solar heater was developed. A comprehensive thermodynamic analysis of the proposed scheme was made. The temperatures of air and salt water at the outlet of the heat exchangers were determined. The main energy parameters of the system were calculated with the help of balance equations.

Graphical dependences of energy indicators on the operating parameters of the installation were constructed and analyzed. The change in performance and energy efficiency as a function of temperature and air velocity at the inlet to the humidifier is shown. The effect of air and salt water consumption on the energy efficiency and geometric dimensions of the humidifier was revealed.

A comparison of the efficiency of open water desalination schemes with heating of air and water at the entrance to the humidifier is given. It was established that, under the same conditions, water heating provides higher energy parameters than air heating. The expediency of simultaneous heating of water and air at the entrance to the humidifier to further increase the efficiency of thermal desalination using the air humidification-dehumidification cycle was noted.
CALCULATION OF A CYLINDRICAL SURFACE THAT ENSURES A CONSTANT THRUST OR A CONSTANT AMOUNT OF PRESSURE OF A PARTICLE OF MATERIAL MOVING THROUGH IT AT A CONSTANT SPEED
Authors: Pylypaka S. F. , Nesvidomin A. V.
Published: February 2024

There are known studies in which the movement of material particles along gravitational surfaces is considered. The speed of movement along the curve in such cases is variable. However, in agricultural machines, there may be cases where a particle moves along a surface at a constant speed. In this case, in addition to the force of gravity, the force of traction acts on the particle.

The purpose of the study is the calculation of a cylindrical surface that provides a constant traction force or a constant pressure value of a material particle moving along it at a constant speed.

Curves were found along which a particle moving at a constant speed will exert a constant pressure or the active traction force will be constant.

Equations have been found and curves have been constructed that ensure a constant force of traction or a constant amount of pressure of a material particle moving along a curve at a constant speed.

These curves will retain their properties only if the value of the calculated speed is strictly observed. This is explained by the fact that in the equations of the curves, the speed value is squared, so even a slight deviation from the calculated one will cause a significant deviation of the expected results.

Religion sans espace sacré
Authors: Eckardt Frank
Published: February 2024

Churches have lost members in the last decades in an unpredicted way. In many parishes, the attempt to redefine religious life has led to an attempt to offer more inclusive practices especially in cities with severe loss of social cohesion. In this way, the opening up of the Catholic Church in Germany for an approach of ‘social space’ seems to contradict the assumption of Durkheim that a differentiation between the ‘sacred’ and the ‘profane’ is at the core of religious life. In this article, a closer look will be taken at three churches in the city of Gelsenkirchen, the poorest city in Germany. It will be shown that the de-industrialized social landscape of contemporary societies embeds the churches in different ways. According to different contexts of peripherisation, churches are reacting different in reshaping social bonds with their neighborhood. This issue of the ‘sacred’, however, seems to be an important feature for understanding the life of religious communities.

Au cours des dernières décennies, les églises allemandes ont perdu quantité de membres comme jamais auparavant. Dans de nombreuses paroisses, le souci de redéfinir la vie religieuse s'est traduit par une tentative à offrir des pratiques plus inclusives, en particulier dans les villes connaissant une grave perte de cohésion sociale. Cette ouverture de l’Église catholique allemande à ‘l'espace social’ semble ainsi contredire l'hypothèse de Durkheim, pour qui la différenciation entre le ‘sacré’ et le ‘profane’ est au cœur de la vie religieuse. L'article qui suit a pour but d'examiner cette hypothèse à travers l’étude de trois églises de la ville de Gelsenkirchen, la ville la plus pauvre d'Allemagne. Celles-ci ne s'intègrent pas dans le paysage de désindustrialisation des sociétés contemporaines de la même manière. Selon la variété des contextes de périphérisation, les églises refaçonnent différemment les liens sociaux qu'elles entretiennent avec leur quartier. À cet égard, l'idée de ‘sacré’ sur laquelle Durkheim a mis l'accent dans sa sociologie de la religion conserve toute son importance pour ces églises de zones périphériques.

Published: February 2024

This study was conducted to explore the role of teachers to sustain student motivation towards English language learning. The purpose of this study was to find the level of government teachers' knowledge and expertise to employ motivational strategies in their classrooms, particularly at the elementary level. This descriptive study has been constructed on a "post-positivist paradigm" which falls under quantitative research. A questionnaire was designed and 25 government schools were selected for data collection through random sampling. The sample of the study was comprised of 40 male and 60 female English teachers of elementary level. SPSS examined and summarized the data. Though they feel motivation is crucial for language development, most government elementary school teachers struggle to motivate students in English. Most teachers said their English language students don't participate because they don't use new incentive tactics. Finally, teachers were encouraged to use motivating tactics to promote and sustain student motivation.

Semblions of Words — The Language of Natural and Artificial Neural Networks
Authors: Galus Wieslaw
Published: February 2024

The hierarchical structure of metaphors, as linguistic concepts and other mind tools embodied in Lakoff's cognitive linguistics terms, requires an indication of the mental representations in human minds and the corresponding biophysical representations. The author claims that the searched biophysical representations, which are the basis of mental representations, may be hierarchically related neurons called semblions. According to the connectionist concept, the hierarchical structure of a neural network emerges during the learning process and concurrently constitutes a memory. Semblions of objects, concepts, ideas, and models can be associated on a neurological level with neural representations of phonemes heard simultaneously while perceiving objects and creating their representations. This way, new higher-order semblions are made, corresponding to the words. The work shows how stimulating semblions can cause recall, association, thinking, and other higher mental functions necessary for using natural language. In this way, the reconstruction of mental states takes place based on the propagation of neuronal excitations. The author also indicates why semblions representing mathematical concepts adequately describe many physical world phenomena. At the same time, their polymodal counterparts can be used for a metaphorical description of qualia. The complementarity of the associative memory model proposed by Horzyk with the model of the architecture of self-conscious systems proposed by Galus, which can be used to build artificial self-conscious systems that reasonably use both natural and formal languages, was pointed out.

The further development of recursive models of consciousness leading to the presentation of the Motivated Emotional Mind (MEM) model has confirmed that in the process of bottom-up information transfer responsible for creating semblions, rules of similarity are utilized from engrams representing knowledge in the mind to patterns of neural excitations transmitted from the lower sensory layers of semblions. The functioning of the multilayered architecture of brain fields based on the principles of searching for similarity patterns aligns with the hypothesis of using metaphors in subsequent processes of generalization and association, forming the basis for higher mental functions, and creating the semantics and syntax of the language.

Investigations on Input Impedance and Radiation Pattern of a UWB Antenna for Microwave Imaging
Authors: Adesoba Olayiwola Charles , Taiwo Richard Olalekan
Published: February 2024

Investigations carried out on the Input Impedance and Radiation Pattern of an Ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna are presented in this study. The proposed antenna is fabricated on an FR4 printed circuit board with a rectangular aperture. Major applications of UWB technology are presented. The fundamental characteristics of the antenna, such as input impedance, return loss, radiation pattern, and realized gain, are obtained. Investigations on how to improve the directivity of the proposed antenna are also presented in this study. The antenna demonstrates good impedance bandwidth (S11≤ -10dB) from about 4GHz to 10.6GHz, except in the case when the width _W_ of the T-shaped stub was varied. A commercial simulation tool – CST Microwave Studio – is used for the optimization of the proposed antenna. The proposed antenna operates almost over the entire UWB band (3.1-10.6GHz), except at lower frequencies of 3.1-4GHz. The response of the designed UWB signal starts at 3.1-10.6GHz, giving a good performance between 4GHz to 10.6GHz with an operational bandwidth of 6.6GHz. The input impedance is well matched, as a return loss of 10dB is obtained between 4-10.6GHz. The return loss decreases even more at 4-5GHz and at 8-10GHz, which means that the proposed UWB antenna transmits a high percentage of its power while a very low power is reflected back.

Published: February 2024

INTRODUCTION.
Lyme disease, a zoonosis transmitted by vector (by ticks), may manifest itself in several different forms, such as: erythema migrans, osteoarticular or neuroborreliosis. Infection occurs when an infected common tick (Ixodes ricinus) feeds. Lyme disease is seasonal due to the cycle of tick activity throughout the year.

AIM OF THE STUDY.
The aim of the study was to assess the epidemiological situation of Lyme disease in Poland in 2021 compared to the situation in previous years.

MATERIAL AND METHODS.
To assess the epidemiological situation of Lyme disease in Poland, data sent to NIPH NIH – NRI by the Voivodeship Sanitary-Epidemiological Stations and published in the annual bulletin: “Infectious diseases and poisonings in Poland in 2021” were used.

RESULTS.
In 2021, 12,500 cases of Lyme disease and 411 hospitalizations were registered, which means a decrease in the number of cases by 3.4% and a decrease in hospitalizations by 10.5%. The number of cases was similar to 2020, and Lyme disease cases did not return to the pre-COVID-19 pandemic level (approx. 20,000 cases per year). The quarterly distribution of cases remained unchanged, with cases occurring most frequently in Q3 and least frequently in Q1.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the number of reported Lyme disease cases was still noticeable, the number of recorded cases was lower than in the first pandemic year. The distribution of cases in quarters retained the seasonality characteristic of Lyme disease.

Published: February 2024

One of the high schools that is close to campus is MAN 1 Palu City. One of the extracurricular activities in MAN 1 Palu City is KIR (Youth Scientific Work). The interest of students to participate in these activities is very high but requires more intensive coaching. So far, no scientific paper writing training has been conducted for students. This is one of the reasons why students are less able to compete with other schools in Palu in scientific writing competitions.  The problems of partners (MAN 1 Palu city) are: a) The KIR group's mastery of writing scientific papers in preparation for the OPSI competition is still low, b) The KIR MAN 1 group in Palu city still often misunderstands the content of scientific papers and scientific paper writing techniques. 3) The lack of resource persons who can be occupied asks if the KIR MAN 1 group in Palu has difficulty in making papers. For this reason, we have held a service activity at MAN 1 Palu City, including) training activities and workshops. Providing training (material for writing scientific papers and techniques for writing scientific papers), at that stage the service team acts as a teacher in presenting materials and examples of scientific works that pass the Indonesian Student Research Olympiad (OPSI). b) Assisting in writing scientific papers.

PT Elang Perdana Tyre Industry (PT.EPTI) merupakan salah satu perusahaan yang bergerak di bidang otomotif yaitu manufaktur produksi ban mobil dengan beberapa merek diantaranya yaitu merek Accelera, Forceum, dan Zeetex. Dalam proses produksi ban mobil yang dilakukan oleh PT.EPTI terdapat beberapa alur proses produksi yang harus dijalani untuk mengubah bahan bahan baku menjadi sebuah ban mobil yang siap untuk dikirim dan diperjual belikan, baik untuk domestik maupun mancanegara. Area produksi di PT.EPTI dibagi menjadi 4 Plant, mulai dari Plant Produksi 1 sampai dengan Plant Produksi 4. Plant Produksi 1 sampai dengan 3 merupakan aktivitas produksi yang mengahasilkan output produk, berbeda dengan Plant Produksi 4, pada area ini hanyalah menjalankan serangkaian pengecekan mulai dari pengecekan manual hingga pengecekan oleh mesin. Mesin-mesin di area ini merupakan mesin pengukuran yang dimana mesin ini harus andal dan tepat dalam proses pengukuran atau pengujian pada ban, karena jika keandalannya tidak bisa dipastikan maka ban yang sudah di produksi tidak diketahui kualitasnya. Oleh karena itu, mesin Balance dan Uniformity pada Plant Produksi 4 ini harus dilakukan perawatan dengan perlakuan khusus dikarenakan mesin mesin tersebut sangat sensitif dalam pengukuran. Hasilnya Proses perawatan mesin uniformity sangatlah penting dilakukan, dikarenakan mesin ini merupakan mesin pengukuran yang nilai dari hasil pengukurannya sangat sensitif dan jika tidak dilakukan perawatan secara berkala maka tingkat keandalan mesin uniformity akan menurun. General Accuracy dan Checking Load merupakan dua kegiatan yang sangat penting dalam perawatan mesin uniformity, hal ini karena pada kegiatan tersebut bisa dibilang secara tidak langsung ialah proses kalibrasi secara mekanikal untuk General Accuracy, dan proses kalibrasi secara electrical untuk Checking Load.

The use of cannabis dates back to a time close to that of other cultural crops such as corn, wheat or rice,among others. Initially, the fiber was used to make textiles, however, medicinal and recreational uses werequickly discovered due to the phytocannabinoids present in the plant's flower. Nowadays these elementshave become relevant in human and veterinary medicine and even in zootechnics. Unfortunately, this hasimplied greater cannabis production under the industrial scheme with excessive use of toxic agrochemicalsthat can affect the health of consumers. In the present work, three soil nutritional treatments were evaluatedfor cannabis cultivation: NPK ultrasol fertilizer (15-30-15) leached from worms and compost. The effect ofthese treatments on plant development was measured based on plant height. It was found that organicalternatives (compost and leachate) present results similar to commercial fertilizer, without environmentalimpact and with lower economic cost. It is important to highlight that production techniques must considerhealth and safety, guaranteeing agroecological alternatives free of agrotoxics in all crops for human andanimal consumption.

The issue of peace is constantly being discussed, as an effective instrument within a society, to respond to the differentevents or conflicts that arise both at the regional or local, state, national, and even international levels; but seldom, it hasbeen specified in terms of the discourse and analysis that it intends to account for in order to be able to implement it andin its ultimate purpose, to achieve it; This is done through the creation of a set of public, private and social policies andstrategies that achieve this goal. Therefore, in this document, the essential dimensions of Governance and SustainableDevelopment will be addressed, with a specific focus on environmental and ecological topics, through the systematicstudy of the main global and national normative systems to achieve the objectives of the Formative and Integral Cultureof Peace. From the point of view of public policies, since the government entity is the one legitimized to take actionsaimed at solving common problems of its inhabitants, and whose incidence is reflected in the design of educationalpolicies and institutions, it is transversal in the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).

For several months we have heard in different media about the El Niño Phenomenon. Will it happen? How long will itlast? How will it affect the goals of the ODS? These are some of the questions that academics and scientists from allbranches of knowledge ask. El Niño is not something new as society, we have already experienced it. Although somepeople are not interested, others deny it, others do not care, and others worry, it is a fact that it is here, and we must faceit. In economic terms, El Niño affects the agricultural sector more than other sectors, this is because the rainwater deficitsituation generates an increase in production costs, a reduction in yields and even the loss of crops. This documentanalyzes from the economic sphere the effects of the El Niño Phenomenon in Colombia, especially in the agriculturalsector, and how it influences other variables that result in effects in the short and medium term for the achievement of theSustainable Development Goals, especially for the end of poverty, zero hunger, health and well-being, clean water andsanitation, reducing inequalities, sustainable cities and communities, climate action, underwater life, and life on landecosystems.
