В статье рассмотрено влияние количества соматических клеток в молоке коров голштинской породы первой и второй лактации на удой и качество молока. Исследования проводились методом статистической обработки данных информационных баз крестьянского хозяйства, качество молока определялось инструментальными методами. Установлено, что по среднесуточному удою, жиру и белку животные 2 лактации достоверно превосходили животных 1 лактации. По лактозе значимых различий не выявлено. Однако и по количеству соматических клеток животные 2 лактации имели высокие показатели, что вероятнее всего связано с нелечеными болезнями вымени или повреждениями отдельных долей вымени. Выявлено также, что месяц лактации влиял на все исследуемые параметры. В совокупности номер лактации и месяц лактации оказывали значительное влияние на удой. Было отмечено, что влияние КСК на удой, СОМО, белок было значительным по всем лактациям (Р<0,001), однако наибольшее снижение удоя наблюдалось у животных 2 лактации. С увеличением в молоке КСК была разница в сторону уменьшения удоя была значительна. Выявлено, что КСК показало отрицательную корреляцию между удоем и лактозой молока, в то время как наблюдалась положительная корреляция между СОМО, жиром и белком.

La investigación confirma que las empresas del sector energético enfocadas al litio y al gas fueron afectadas por el conflicto de Rusia-Ucrania en el 2022; sin embargo, las compañías gaseras agravaron sus problemas en el tiempo de la pandemia por COVID-19. El siguiente trabajo mide los impactos financieros de empresas de litio y gas natural licuado, listadas en bolsas de valores de mercados internacionales para validar si éstas se orientan por deslocalizarse o relocalizarse. Para realizar el análisis se usaron los métodos de la Q de Tobin, Z Score y Dupont Extendido.
Asimismo, los resultados evidencian que hay empresas que tienen problemas financieros y los precios de sus acciones presentan un valor más alto que su capital, lo que permite visualizar un escenario de toma de decisiones entre deslocalizar o relocalizar para ejecutar un mejor control de sus operaciones. Adicionalmente, las empresas de litio obtuvieron mejores rendimientos que las compañías de gas. Por lo tanto, las entidades de litio cuentan con mejores viabilidades para deslocalizarse, mientras que las compañías de gas poseen mayor viabilidad para relocalizarse.

Transformation: Lessons from Technological Development in
European and Asian Countries
Authors: KARAPETYAN NAREK , TADEVOSYAN RUZANNA
Published: July 2024

The paper examines the
trajectory of technological development of European and Asian
countries. The economic complexity index, along with indicators
such as patents securing intellectual property rights registered
with both the national patent office and the US Patent and
Trademark Office, as well as research and development (R&D)
expenditures, have been used to characterize technological
development. In terms of economic complexity, many EU
countries continue to appear in the world's top ten, but the leading
EU nations are gradually ceding their positions in the global top
three to certain Asian countries. EU countries do not exhibit
homogeneity in their performance. The differences between
leading and lagging countries in terms of the studied indicators
are significant, albeit decreasing over time. The ratio of public and
private R&D expenditures is also different, in general, with the
predominance of private expenditures on average. The study
shows that European countries have consistently maintained a
leading role in technological development, while certain Asian
countries have transitioned from being consumers to creators of
knowledge and technology in recent decades. Key factors
contributing to the technological development of Asian countries
include acquiring patents from developed nations, importing
technologies, attracting foreign direct investments, and
establishing industrial clusters. These factors underscore the
pivotal role of the state.

Elementary School Students' Explanatory Text Learning Innovation Using the Problem Based Learning Model Assisted by Diorama Media
Authors: Rahayu Ade
Published: July 2024

The lack of students' writing skills and limited learning facilities and media further worsen the writing quality of students in elementary school (SD). Explanatory text is text that informs the process of something occurring, whether natural or social phenomena. At the stage of understanding and writing the text, students find it difficult due to the lack of information and knowledge possessed by the students and the teacher as facilitator. Model problem based learning is a learning model that uses real problems in its learning so that it can train students to develop problem-solving skills. This model can trigger students' thinking methods in presenting information in an explanatory text that is in accordance with the structure of the explanatory text. Based on the analysis of the advantages of diorama media, it can be concluded that students' ability to write explanatory texts increases in accordance with the concept of diorama media, which is a mini three-dimensional view that aims to depict the actual scene. This is because in this model students are required to work together in groups regarding dioramas that have been observed, so that students have a lot of material and information to write explanatory texts so that learning becomes different and fun.

Published: July 2024

The use of nanofluids in the cooling system of hybrid solar collectors is an urgent task of intensification of heat transfer. This heat carrier allows for more efficient cooling of the surface of the solar panel, which increases the productivity of the collector. However, the low stability of the nanofluid, manifested in the agglomeration of nanoparticles and their subsequent precipitation, affects the deterioration of the thermophysical properties. This article discusses the sedimentation process of TiO2-double distilled water nanofluid stabilized with CTAB and SDBS surfactants. The sedimentation process was monitored by UV-vis spectroscopy. A high stabilizing effect was observed with the use of CTAB surfactant, expressed in a low sedimentation rate compared to use of SDBS.

Published: July 2024

This paper presents a study of copper selenide nanowires obtained for the first time by template synthesis. This method allows precise control of the size and morphology of nanostructures, which indicates its high efficiency in obtaining homogeneous and well-deposited copper selenide nanowires. The SiO2/Si track template was obtained by irradiation on a DC-60 accelerator (Astana, Kazakhstan), after which the track template was chemically etched to form cylindrical pores. After irradiation and further chemical etching, copper selenide was deposited into the SiO2/Si track template by electrochemical deposition method. The morphology and amount of deposited nanoprecipitates were observed using a QUANTA 200i electron microscope with 3D scanning. X-ray diffractometer was used to determine the crystallographic structure of copper selenide nanoprecipitates. X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) was carried out on a Rigaku miniflex 600 X-ray diffractometer. The XRD analysis revealed the formation of cubic crystalline phase of copper selenide nanowires electrochemically deposited on SiO2/Si track template. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra were measured on a CM2203 spectrofluorimeter to study the optical properties of the nanowires. The PL spectra were recorded at room temperature from 300 nm to 800 nm in 5 nm steps under a xenon lamp. Differential decomposition of the FL spectra showed two main peaks (2.5 and 2.8 eV).

Published: July 2024

The paper presents results calculated for radiation exposure of plants (aquatic, aero-aquatic and coastal) growing at man-made and naturally occurring water bodies at the Semipalatinsk Test Site (STS). The peak overall exposure dose rate was 0.078 mGy/day for coastal plants of man-made water bodies that resulted from off-normal situations during underground nuclear tests. As part of the conservative assessment, the peak overall exposure dose rate was 1.3 mGy/day for aquatic plants of man-made water bodies that resulted from excavation blasts. A publication by the International Commission on Radiological Protection says that there is no information on the manifestation of any effects for the dose rate range of 0.01 to 10 mGy/day for these plant species. Based upon findings, exposure doses to plants calculated from the radioecological survey of STS water bodies were found to be well below the threshold level of the ‘dose limit’ from different reported data. The output indicates that nothing threatens (endangers) the ecosystem health of STS water bodies.

The relevance of the study is related to the of nuclear control safety. Determining the temperature coefficient of reactivity (TCR) experimentally is a rather difficult problem. One of the main difficulties is to heat up the reactor from two (or more) heat sources with different temperatures for a long time, sufficient for the isothermal heating of all reactor parts. The proof of the reactor isothermal heating may be the equalization of the coolant temperature in the distribution header (at the reactor inlet) and in the drain header (at the reactor outlet) for a time sufficient to stabilize the reactor critical state and the position of the regulatory authorities accordingly.

The essence of the study method is related to the fact that during the experiment to determine the TCR, the conditions were created under which barometric (hydrodynamic) and power effects affecting the research reactor reactivity were excluded.

The significance of the results is the fact that the TCR, one of the important safety assessment parameters for the IVG.1M reactor, was determined experimentally after the reactor was converted from highly enriched (HEU) to low enriched uranium (LEU) fuel.

Published: July 2024

The article discusses the problems of pollution of the Ertis River in the Kazakhstani part of the basin. The data on the quality of river water obtained in the period from 2012 to 2023, which is generally characterized as unsatisfactory, was analyzed. The main sources of river pollution are discharges of industrial and municipal wastewater in the Bukhtarma, Ulba, Ertis river basins, and there is also a trans-boundary impact. As a result of the activities of a number of industrial complexes in the studied area, increased concentrations of heavy metals (lead, copper, zinc, and cadmium), nutrients (iron), and suspended particles (11.9–28.3 mg/dm3) are observed in the water of the Ertis River. The most polluted sections of the river are in the areas of Ust-Kamenogorsk, Semipalatinsk and Pavlodar. To improve the water quality of the Ertis River, it is necessary to take measures to reduce trans-boundary discharges of pollutants, ensure effective treatment of industrial and municipal wastewater, and also monitor the quality of the river’s water in order to track the dynamics of pollution and take timely measures to reduce it.
INFLUENCE OF WIRE FEED RATE OF HIGH-SPEED ELECTRIC ARC METALLISATION ON STRUCTURE AND CORROSION PROPERTIES OF 30HGSA STEEL COATINGS
Authors: Rakhadilov B. K. , Shynarbek A. B. , Kakimzhanov D. N. , Stepanova O. A.
Published: July 2024

The study examines the porosity characteristics, corrosion analysis, and microstructure of iron-based coatings sprayed by supersonic arc metallisation in order to understand the regularity of the influence of the parameters by wire feed rate dependence. The performance of iron-based coatings depends on the integrity of the coating structure. Optimisation of arc spraying parameters allows minimising defects (pores, grain boundaries, unmelted particles, oxides and microcracks) that deteriorate coating properties. At high current levels, the microstructure of the coatings becomes more dense and the particle size decreases, also the average pore size decreases. As the wire feed rate increases, the value of current increases, which leads to the release of more heat energy at the arc to melt the wire and consequently favours the formation of dense coatings with low porosity.

This work presents a study of the structural, optical and electrical characteristics of tin dioxide (SnO2) nanowires obtained by chemical deposition (CD) into a SiO2/Si track template (template synthesis). Latent tracks in the SiO2 layer were created by irradiation with swift heavy ions (SHI) of Xe at an energy of 200 MeV with a fluence of Ф = 108 cm−2 and subsequent etching in a 4% aqueous solution of hydrofluoric acid (HF). The chosen CD method is widely used for the deposition of semiconductor oxide nanowires in SiO2 nanopores. The CD method is cost-effective because it does not require special equipment for deposition of nanowires. To carry out deposition, a solution of a coordination compound of a metal and a reducing agent is used. To analyze the filling of pores after the CD process, the surface morphology of the samples was studied using a Zeiss Crossbeam 540 scanning microscope. The crystallographic structure of SnO2/SiO2/Si nanostructures with SnO2 nanopore filling was studied by X-ray diffraction. X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) is carried out on a Rigaku SmartLab X-ray diffractometer. As a result, a SnO2-NW/SiO2/Si nanoheterostructure with an orthorhombic crystal structure of SnO2 nanowires was obtained. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra were measured upon excitation with light at a wavelength of 240 nm using a CM2203 spectrofluorimeter (Solar). Gaussian decomposition of the photoluminescence spectrum of SnO2-NW/SiO2/Si structures showed that they have low intensity, which is mainly due to the presence of defects such as oxygen vacancies, interstitial tin or tin with damaged bonds. Electrical characterization studies were performed using a VersaStat 3 potentiostat (Ametek). Measurement of the current-voltage characteristic showed that the resulting SnO2-NW/SiO2/Si nanoheterostructure contains arrays of p-n junctions.
Raízes da violência urbana
Authors: Bittencourt Matheus Boni , Teixeira Alex Niche
Published: July 2024

A ideia de uma causalidade social estrutural sobre os homicídios intencionais nos remete à noção de que a violência pode responder a mecanismos persistentes, que atuam no longo prazo, e cujos efeitos podem demorar para aparecer, sendo muitas vezes mediados ou condicionantes de causalidades mais conjunturais. Neste artigo, desenvolvemos esta ideia por meio de uma análise multivariada das taxas de homicídios intencionais nas principais metrópoles brasileiras com dados de 1992 a 2018, distinguindo variáveis de curto prazo, ligados a oportunidades diferenciais, e de longo prazo, ligados à formação de disposições, comunidades e instituições. Os resultados permitem vislumbrar a complexidade temporal da causalidade social da criminalidade violenta.
Fake news, política e racismo religioso no Brasil (2020-2022)

Published: July 2024

Este artigo evidencia três casos de Fake News produzidas durante o contexto das disputas eleitorais de 2020 até 2022, onde personagens políticos concorrentes dos candidatos bolsonaristas foram associados às religiões de matrizes africanas, e expostos em diversos canais de divulgação, como “o mal que assola o povo brasileiro”. Temos o objetivo de provocar uma breve reflexão acerca das divulgações dessas falsas notícias que transpassavam para o campo espiritual as disputas políticas partidárias. Destacamos como a ótica discriminatória presente no imaginário da população brasileira serviu para dispersar votos, ao mesmo tempo que contribuía na ampliação do racismo destinado historicamente as vertentes afroreligiosas com mais popularidade no Brasil, o candomblé e a umbanda.

O presente artigo busca revisitar na teoria social clássica e contemporânea questões fundantes relativas aos chamados processos de socialização, subjetivação ou individuação. Nosso intento é apresentar algumas das formulações que explicam a formação dos sujeitos (seus modos de pensar, sentir e agir) no interior de dada sociedade ou cultura, isto é, analisar o processo de constituição, de forma relacional, da subjetividade ou interioridade “individual”. Nesse percurso, apontaremos a crítica das ciências sociais à noção hegemônica de indivíduo e abordaremos brevemente a ideia da crise das identidades. Dedicaremos especial atenção aos processos de formação da subjetividade nos agentes sociais contemporâneos, por meio da análise de escritos de Norbert Elias e do conceito de habitus em Pierre Bourdieu.
rescuePY: Simulation-Based Rescue Response Impact Assessment
Authors: Schuhmann Fabian , Sievers Maximilian , Schrott Stefan , Kapovich Ivan , Feng Lijie , Lienkamp Markus
Published: July 2024

Mobility in metropolitan regions is changing. The distribution of space in cities, the design of transport modes, and the organization of mobility are being re-thought. However, no matter the changes and innovations on the way to a more sustainable future, essential constants must be upheld: In the event of minor, regionally limited emergencies, medical assistance must reach those in need quickly. When dealing with large-scale emergencies, the ability to evacuate the area promptly must be ensured. The impact analysis of mobility innovations on emergency services within urban areas so far has been based purely on empirical observations using existing data. Currently, it is only possible to analyze what-if considerations in a limited way. Nevertheless, due to the increasingly rapid changes in mobility, a comprehensive and interlinked analysis will be necessary. This is the key contribution of rescuePY: rescuePY is a simulation suite based on the mesoscopic and microscopic simulation environment hybridPY. It allows holistic and microscopic transport modeling of rescue infrastructure to quantify the impact of the mobility transition towards higher sustainability on the performance of rescue services.
The main features of this software are:

Rescue system assessment for strategic, long-term planning
Mobility-influence studies for operative, mid-term planning
Activity-based urban evacuation modeling

The capabilities of rescuePY are demonstrated by two applications: a simulation- based, mesoscopic system analysis of emergency services in Munich compared to real-world data and microscopic modeling of emergency vehicles (EMVs) in different road architectures. Ongoing developments aim to improve the evaluation methodology for the aggregated impact analysis of mobility innovations on rescue response services.
hybridPy: The Simulation Suite for Mesoscopic and Microscopic Traffic Simulations
Authors: Schweizer Joerg , Schuhmann Fabian , Poliziani Cristian
Published: July 2024

Mesoscopic, agent-based simulations efficiently model and assess entire regions’ daily activities and travel patterns, exemplified by smaller countries like Switzerland. The queue-based simulation represents a compromise between computational speed on the one hand and the necessity of detailed modeling infrastructure on the other hand. Thus, mesoscopic simulations enable an efficient and reasonably detailed analysis of the complex interplay between supply and demand in mobility research. Conversely, microsimulations excel at reproducing individual speed profiles and behavior by modeling the interactions between traffic participants, including pedestrians, bicycles, and scooters. Although allowing for more detailed system analysis, the downside is the high computational burden, which often prevents large-scale microscopic simulations from running in optimization or calibration loops. hybridPY, an extension of SUMOPy, aims to close the gap and benefit from both environments. The simulation suite allows the running of mesoscopic as well as microscopic traffic simulations based on the core idea: running a microscopic simulation in a smaller dedicated area, using the routes or mobility plans generated from a larger mesoscopic model. The main features of this software are: (i) import, editing and visualization of MATSim and BEAM CORE networks; (ii) conversion of MATSim plans to SUMO routes or plans within the SUMO area; (iii) configuring and running of MATSim simulations. The capability of hybridPY is demonstrated by two applications: the simulation of Schwabing, Germany, based on the MITO MATSim model, and the San Francisco municipality, USA, based on the mesoscopic BEAM CORE model of the entire San Francisco Bay area. Both scenarios demonstrate that the hybrid approach results in significant computational gains with respect to a pure microscopic approach.
Sumonity: Bridging SUMO and Unity for Enhanced Traffic Simulation Experiences

Published: July 2024

This paper presents "Sumonity," an interface that bridges SUMO (Simulation of Urban MObility) and Unity, combining SUMO's robust traffic modeling capabilities with Unity's advanced graphical and physical engine, enhancing realism in traffic simulations. The study explores Sumonity's development and implementation, showcasing its capabilities. The interface offers a significant improvement in simulation fidelity by adopting a pure pursuit control approach within Unity for simulating each traffic agent. This methodological shift allows for more granular control over individual vehicle behaviors, aligning with autonomous and common vehicle dynamics. The paper also discusses the broader implications of Sumonity for future research in this field.

Focusing on the critical challenge of air pollution in urban areas, primarily caused by vehicular emissions, this study proposes an innovative process for Low Emission Zones (LEZ) design within the Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO) framework. Our primary focus is on enhancing urban mobility through the strategic design of LEZs, while simultaneously maintaining or even improving emission levels. The novel aspect of the approach lies in the use of LEZs with minimal geometric boundaries, strategically designed to balance the reduction of CO2 emissions and the necessity of fluid urban transportation. LEZs are calculated using genetic algorithms that optimize a cost function balancing emissions and travel time while applying topological and specific constraints. Several experiments are simulated with SUMO to compare the efficiency of urban mobility under various LEZ configurations and different traffic demands. The results show the improvement of the approach in comparison with traditional LEZ design methodologies. The proposal not only preserves or even reduces the emission levels, but also actively improves urban mobility and traffic flow. This empirical evidence strongly supports the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed solution in different urban scenarios. The design of the heuristic enables the possibility to create dynamic LEZs that may be changed depending on demand, weather, or any other varying conditions that affect traffic and emissions, preserving the mobility concerns of the users.

The aim of this work is to develop a numerical tool for computing the weak periodic solution for a class of parabolic equations with nonlinear boundary conditions. We formulate our problem as a minimization problem by introducing a least-squares cost function. With the help of the Lagrangian method, we calculate the gradient of the cost function. We build an iterative algorithm to simulate numerically the weak periodic solution to the considered problem. To illustrate our approach, we present some numerical examples.

Organic matter of natural objects (OMNO) consists of individual organic compounds and humic substances (HS), therefore aqueous alkaline solution extracts both humic and non-humic substances from natural objects. To isolate in “pure” form humic substances (so-called protohumic substances), it is necessary to extract individual compounds, specifically photosynthetic pigments, melanins, glycoproteins, bitumoids A and C, particular organic material, from the OMNO beforehand.

Interaksi guru-siswa merupakan elemen penting dalam pembelajaran bahasa Arab, khususnya dalam memfasilitasi penerapan kemampuan bahasa dalam konteks nyata. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pola komunikasi dengan model IRF (Initiation-Response-Feedback) yang digunakan guru dan siswa dalam kegiatan pembelajaran bahasa Arab di kelas IV SD. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif analisis wacana kelas. Partisipan penelitian terdiri dari seorang guru bahasa Arab dan 71 siswa. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi kelas dan dianalisis menggunakan kerangka kerja model IRF Sinclair dan Coulthard. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa wacana interaksi kelas selama pembelajaran bahasa Arab terdiri dari lesson, transactions, exchange, move, dan act. Lesson mengacu pada topik pembelajaran, transactions melibatkan pertukaran informasi antara guru dan siswa, exchange merupakan interaksi timbal balik, move mewakili tindakan individual, dan act adalah unit terkecil dari interaksi. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa model IRF menjadi pola komunikasi yang dominan dalam interaksi guru-siswa di kelas bahasa Arab. Penggunaan model IRF secara efektif memfasilitasi pembelajaran bahasa Arab dengan mendorong partisipasi siswa, meningkatkan pemahaman konsep, dan mengembangkan keterampilan komunikasi bahasa Arab.
A Systematic Review of the Post COVID-19 Pandemic Transformation on Design and Delivery of Curriculum
Authors: Ayodele Ajani Oluwatoyin
Published: July 2024

This study investigated the lasting impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on higher education in Africa, focusing on curriculum design and delivery. The pandemic highlighted significant vulnerabilities in African higher education, notably exacerbating the digital divide that hindered seamless curriculum delivery during lockdowns. This systematic literature review synthesizes empirical and conceptual studies to assess these impacts from 2019 to 2022. The pandemic caused substantial setbacks in curriculum implementation due to enforced lockdowns and restrictions on physical gatherings, crucial for traditional classroom-based instruction. These constraints underscored the urgent need for educational institutions to adapt to digital modes of instruction to maintain continuity in teaching and learning. The findings reveal that many African higher education institutions were unprepared for the abrupt shift to online learning, resulting in significant educational disruptions. The cessation of in-person instruction prevented students from accessing educational resources, further widening the pre-existing digital divide. The study emphasizes the necessity for a comprehensive redesign of higher education curricula to incorporate online delivery methods effectively, leveraging various learning technologies to ensure uninterrupted curriculum delivery during crises. It recommends that African higher education institutions prioritize integrating digital learning platforms and tools in their curricula. This adaptation is critical in enhancing resilience against future disruptions, ensuring the academic calendar remains intact despite potential crises.
Well-Being among Academic Staff in Higher Education Institutions
Authors: Mbabazi Annet
Published: July 2024

Well-being is a multidimensional concept that reflects employees’ satisfaction with life, the prevalence of contentment and pleasure in their jobs, and in particular the emotions that the jobs provide the opportunities for employees to enhance their opportunities into self-fulfilment. This research on well-being aims to examine how job demand resources and organisation support affect employee well-being in higher education institutions. In deriving these factors of well-being, I considered two theories namely; Organization Support Theory (OST) and Job Demand Resources Theory (JDRs) to help me isolate gaps for future research. The review is in sequence. Though the paper may be of relevance to establishing the factors that influence employee well-being, it also emanates as a segment of a study in the higher education environment.

This research, conducted in June 2023 at Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, aimed at gaining in-depth insights of the extent to which Bulgarian Internet users in tertiary education had developed comprehension of generative artificial intelligence (AI) models and algorithm literacy. For the purposes of this study, a scale measuring the knowledge of generative AI models was devised and implemented, and an existing algorithm literacy scale was tested. Altogether, 125 university students across various majors in the field of education took part in the research. Findings revealed that the newly developed scale on generative AI models displayed good reliability and correlated positively with the measure for algorithm knowledge and students’ self-reported language skills. Group differences in relation to students’ university major were found to be significant for knowledge and use of generative AI models, language skills, and coding skills. As hypothesized, students in media education displayed high scores on most scales.
General Support at School – a Prerequisite for Inclusion of First Graders in Multicultural Classroom
Authors: Tsvetanova Vyara ,   South-West University “Neofit Rilski”
Published: July 2024

General support for first graders to integrate into the school learning environment is a natural process, determined on one hand by the crisis in the psychosocial development of 7 – 8-year-old children in the transition from play to learning activities, and on the other hand by the new type of responsibilities and lifestyle in the school community. Collaborative support is an important factor in helping young learners overcome communication and learning challenges, especially in a multicultural classroom. Recognition and analysis of these challenges, the possibilities for overcoming them, is the main objective of this study. The data from the inquiry cards for pedagogical who studied the multicultural class they worked with outline the parameters of the socio-pedagogical atmosphere in the class. The applied projective methodologies, a survey and a questionnaire for first graders, clarify their social attitudes towards school and their attitude towards family. The data refer the need to track and individualize formal and informal relationships within the multicultural educational space.
