Published: November 2024

Evaporative cooling systems have emerged as low-energy consumption alternatives to traditional vapor compression systems for building air conditioning. This study explored the feasibility of utilizing polymeric foamed materials produced through additive manufacturing as wetting materials in evaporative cooling systems. Specifically, two different commercial polylactic acid filaments, each containing a percentage of a chemical blowing agent, were studied. Experiments were designed to evaluate the influence of critical process parameters (line width, flow rate, speed, and layer height) on the performance of the resulting foamed materials in terms of evaporative cooling by conducting water absorption, capillarity, porosity, and wettability tests. Considering that high water absorption, capillarity, and porosity, coupled with an intermediate contact angle, are advantageous for evaporative cooling effectiveness, a low flow rate was found to be the most important parameter to improve these properties’ values. The results showed that the appropriate combination of polymer and process parameters allowed the production of foamed polymer-based materials processed by additive manufacturing technology with optimal performance.
A Self-Oscillator Based on Liquid Crystal Elastomer Fiber Under Constant Voltage
Authors: Ge Dali , Liu Xin , Hong Qingrui , Liang Haiyi
Published: November 2024

Self-oscillation is the phenomenon in which a system generates spontaneous, consistent periodic motion in response to a steady external stimulus, making it highly suitable for applications in soft robotics, motors, and mechatronic devices. In this paper, we present a self-oscillator based on liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) fiber under constant voltage. The system primarily consists of an LCE–liquid metal (LCE-LM) composite fiber, a metal mass sphere, and a straight rod featuring both conductive and insulating segments. Building upon an established dynamic LCE model, we derive the governing dynamic equations. Numerical calculations reveal two distinct motion regimes: a static regime and a self-oscillation regime. Furthermore, we provide the temporal behavior curves of electrothermal-induced contraction and tensile force, the phase trajectories variation curves of the equivalent driving force and damping force. These detailed studies elucidate that self-oscillation results from the contraction of the electrothermal-responsive LCE-LM fiber when the circuit is activated, with continuous periodic motion being sustained through the interplay between the metal mass sphere and a self-controlled dynamic circuit. We also investigate the threshold conditions necessary for initiating self-oscillation, as well as the key system parameters that influence its frequency and amplitude. Our self-oscillator demonstrates improved stability by reducing the effects of gravity and other disturbances. Additionally, the curved trajectory of the mass sphere can be achieved by replacing the straight rod with a curved one, resulting in a more flexible and easily controllable structure. Given these characteristics, a self-oscillator system based on LCE-LM fiber may be ideal for creating monitoring and warning devices, dynamic circuit systems, and for integrating actuators and controllers.
Development and Application of a Cooling Rate Dependent PVT Model for Injection Molding Simulation of Semi Crystalline Thermoplastics
Authors: Willerer Thomas , Brinkmann Thomas , Drechsler Klaus
Published: November 2024

This technical paper delves into the creation and application of an enhanced mathematical model for semi crystalline thermoplastics based on the Pressure-Volume-Temperature (PVT) Two Domain Tait Equation. The model is designed to incorporate the impact of the cooling rate on the specific volume of the material. This is achieved by utilizing Flash differential scanning calorimetry (fDSC) measurements, thereby ensuring a direct correlation to the actual behavior of the material in reality. The practical application of the model in the context of injection molding simulation was also considered. This was done by integrating the mathematical model into the Moldflow software via the Solver API. The paper underscores the discontinuity issue inherent in the traditional Tait equation with cooling rates and proposes a solution that guarantees a correct transition from the liquid to the solid phase, even at high cooling rates and pressures. The results demonstrated a realistic PVT curve across a wide range of cooling rates and high pressures. The model was put to the test using a 3D tetrahedron meshed calculation model in the injection molding simulation. This study marks a significant step forward in the simulation of injection molding processes, as it successfully bridges the gap between real material properties and simplified simulation, paving the way for more accurate and efficient simulations in the future.

The aim of this study was to analyse the motivations of the participants of the festivity in honour of Our Lady of Antime in Fafe (located in the north of Portugal) and provide an overview of the tourism opportunities and impacts associated with the event. To this end, the study analysed the main events on the programme for the 2024 edition of this religious festivity. According to the interviews and participant observations, the impact of the religious festivity in honour of Our Lady of Antime on the faithful who participated was evident. For this study, semi-structured face-to-face interviews and participant observations were conducted, and the former were recorded for subsequent content analysis and categorisation. Participant observation was conducted, focusing on the events that occurred during the religious festivity in honour of the Lady of Antime. The limitations of this study relate to the fact that this is a resource that has not yet been explored as a lever for religious tourism in the municipality, although it has received more media attention in recent years. After carrying out this study, it was possible to conclude that the religious festivity in honour of Our Lady of Antime is attracting more and more believers, and that this event has become a resource that is complementary to the basic tourist resources of the destination of Fafe.
Paul Within Judaism Within Paganism
Authors: Fredriksen Paula
Published: November 2024

Judaism was not Paul’s background, but his context, and much of his gospel’s content. Modern Pauline Studies, however, often see Paul’s mission as an expression of what he found wrong with Judaism, a Judaism that supposedly discouraged relations with Gentiles. This essay investigates all the various ways that Jews and Gentiles comfortably cohabited the Graeco-Roman Diaspora. What spurred Paul’s mission was not a critique of an ethnically exclusive Judaism, but his conviction that, in Christ, the end times had arrived. Accordingly, he taught that Gentiles should repudiate their own gods and commit exclusively to the worship of Israel’s god. Paul’s contest was not with Jewish law. It was with pagan gods. Both his mission and his message place him firmly within the pluriform Judaism of his time, a Judaism that took its place within the god-congested world of first-century Mediterranean paganism.
Performance Authenticity in the 2016 Liturgies at the Notre Dame Cathedral of Paris
Authors: Hegy Pierre M.
Published: November 2024

This sociological study describes the exceptional qualities of the 2016 Notre Dame liturgies. My criterion of evaluation is authenticity, defined as faithfulness to a transcendent purpose in liturgical performances. The four areas of prayer, singing, participation, and visualization at Notre Dame are first compared to those of Papal Masses, a Protestant celebration, Sunday masses during the pandemic, and the daily 30-min Masses on American television networks. At Notre Dame, all the aspects of the liturgy were choreographed by the rector-master of ceremonies and visualized through theological concepts. The entrance procession was different each week, ranging from only two acolytes and the celebrating bishop to about fifty priests and several bishops. The performance of the choir was adapted to the needs of the weekly liturgies. The participation of the congregation was encouraged by professional singing leaders, and visualization through vertical and horizon images conveyed a sense of pilgrimage toward eternity. Is this a model for the universal Church, or specific to the French Church? The election of a pope from the Global South suggests that Catholicism has moved away from European models toward greater engagement in the world.
LIRL: Latent Imagination-Based Reinforcement Learning for Efficient Coverage Path Planning
Authors: Wei Zhenglin , Sun Tiejiang , Zhou Mengjie
Published: November 2024

Coverage Path Planning (CPP) in unknown environments presents unique challenges that often require the system to maintain a symmetry between exploration and exploitation in order to efficiently cover unknown areas. This paper introduces latent imagination-based reinforcement learning (LIRL), a novel framework that addresses these challenges by integrating three key components: memory-augmented experience replay (MAER), a latent imagination module (LIM), and multi-step prediction learning (MSPL) within a soft actor–critic architecture. MAER enhances sample efficiency by prioritizing experience retrieval, LIM facilitates long-term planning via simulated trajectories, and MSPL optimizes the trade-off between immediate rewards and future outcomes through adaptive n-step learning. MAER, LIM, and MSPL work within a soft actor–critic architecture, and LIRL creates a dynamic equilibrium that enables efficient, adaptive decision-making. We evaluate LIRL across diverse simulated environments, demonstrating substantial improvements over state-of-the-art methods. Through this method, the agent optimally balances short-term actions with long-term planning, maintaining symmetrical responses to varying environmental changes. The results highlight LIRL’s potential for advancing autonomous CPP in real-world applications such as search and rescue, agricultural robotics, and warehouse automation. Our work contributes to the broader fields of robotics and reinforcement learning, offering insights into integrating memory, imagination, and adaptive learning for complex sequential decision-making tasks.
Integrated Subsurface Hydrologic Modeling for Agricultural Management Using HYDRUS and UZF Package Coupled with MODFLOW
Authors: Chrysanthopoulos Efthymios , Perdikaki Martha , Markantonis Konstantinos , Kallioras Andreas
Published: November 2024

The present work aims to compare two different subsurface hydrological models, namely HYDRUS and MODFLOW UZF package, in terms of groundwater recharge; thus, both models were coupled with MODFLOW. The study area is an experimental kiwifruit orchard located in the Arta plain in the Epirus region of Greece. A novel conceptual framework is introduced in order to (i) use in situ and laboratory measurements to estimate parameter values for both sub-surface flow models; (ii) couple the developed models with MODFLOW to estimate groundwater recharge; and (iii) compare and evaluate the performance of both approaches, with differences stemming from the distinctive equations describing the flow in the unsaturated zone. Detailed soil investigation was conducted in two soil horizons in the research field to identify soil texture zones, along with infiltration experiments implementing both double-ring and single-ring infiltrometers. The results of the field measurements indicate that fine-textured soils are predominant within the field, affecting several hydrological processes, such as infiltration, drainage, and root water uptake. Field measurements were incorporated in unsaturated zone flow modeling and the infiltration fluxes were simulated with the application of both the UZF package of MODFLOW and the HYDRUS code. The two codes presented acceptable agreement between the simulated and observed hydraulic head values with a similar performance in terms of statistics; however, they produced different results regarding recharge rates in the aquifer as simulated by MODFLOW. HYDRUS produced higher hydraulic head values in the aquifer throughout the simulation, related to higher recharge rates arising from the root water uptake and the capillary effects that are computed by HYDRUS but neglected by the UZF package of MODFLOW.

Authors: Laia Joshua Hati Abdi
Published: November 2024

This study is aimed at finding and analyzing errors in the use of simple present tense in descriptive texts written by seventh graders of SMP Swasta Pangeran Antasari Medan. The approach followed in this research was a qualitative method involving description and analysis. This data was collected through the students using tests that had been pre-prepared for them and interviews that were structured. In view of this, it is worth noting that there are only two main types of errors: intralingual errors and interlingual errors. These hindrances are caused by interference from their native language, Bahasa Indonesia thus making them disarrange sentences wrongly or even create new words. Meanwhile, intra-lingual errors, such as omission and addition, arise due to students' lack of understanding of English grammar rules. From the total 90 errors identified, omission errors were the most dominant with a percentage of 42.2%, followed by mis-formation (25.5%), mis-ordering (16.6%), and addition (15.5%). This study underscores the importance of more focused and interactive grammar teaching, as well as more frequent writing practice with constructive feedback to reduce errors in Simple Present Tense usage.

Authors: De Faria Izabel Cristina Costa , Ribeiro Amélia Escotto do Amaral
Published: November 2024

O presente artigo discute a alfabetização no cenário educacional brasileiro enquanto um campo de contradições e reconfigurações. Elege-se como marco temporal a década de 80, por representar um momento de grande ebulição social, acadêmica e política no país, que possibilitou a gestão de diferentes políticas públicas de alfabetização (SOARES, 2003; MORTATTI, 2000; SMOLKA, 2018; KLEIMAN, 1998). A proposição deste artigo justifica-se pela necessidade de problematizar como esses discursos e práticas refletem contradições e reconfigurações no campo da alfabetização e os diferentes modos como os atores que dele participam se reconhecem (ou não) nesse processo. Inspira-se nos princípios da pesquisa documental (LUDKE; ANDRÉ, 2020), elegendo como categorias: fundamentos teóricos em alfabetização e indicações das políticas públicas de alfabetização.
Breves considerações sobre a Constituição Federal de 1988 e os movimentos econômicos da década de noventa no surgimento do Programa do REUNI, implementado em uma universidade federal brasileira
Authors: Capucho Cury Mendes Camila
Published: November 2024

O objeto de estudo para este artigo são as políticas do REUNI e do PNAES, implementadas durante a gestão de Lula da Silva, no recorte temporal de 2003 a 2011, cujo intuito eram a reestruturação da estrutura física das instituições federais de educação e, dentre outros, a redução da evasão universitária. Contudo, estas políticas foram implementadas por meio de decretos, no início dos anos dois mil (2007 e 2010, respectivamente), e inevitavelmente estavam expostas aos direcionamentos e imperialismo neoliberais, reinantes durante a década de noventa. Elencou-se, como objetivo geral, desvelar as contradições presentes em tais políticas. O caminho metodológico foi baseado em pesquisas bibliográficas e em dados estatísticos do Ministério da Educação e do INEP, bem como foram extraídos dados de Relatórios de Prestação de Contas e de Gestão de uma universidade federal, a qual foi eleita como paradigma para se estudar a implementação destas políticas públicas. Por meio de uma breve análise dos atos normativos regulamentadores da matéria de reestruturação das universidades federais do país, e do Método do Materialismo Histórico-Dialético, verificou-se, que, apesar de as universidades aderirem a tais políticas, estas foram impostas às instituições, comprometendo a tão necessária autonomia universitária. Em termos institucionais, apesar de terem proporcionado bons resultados quanto a expansão do número de vagas públicas, ainda são limitadas quanto à efetividade na permanência discente e na redução efetiva da evasão universitária. Neste sentido, espera-se que este artigo possa contribuir no debate para a necessária democratização do acesso à educação superior pública, e em ferramentas para combater a evasão universitária.

Обґрунтовується необхідність удосконалення нормативно-правової бази та розмежування компетенції в середині самого місцевого самоврядування. Розвиток держави неможливий без розвитку регіонів, від того, наскільки сильною є регіональна влада, як вона забезпечує надання соціальних послуг населенню. Розуміючи важливість цієї проблеми, на сучасному етапі розвитку всіх гілок влади постає питання про необхідність вдосконалення теорії та практики сучасного державотворення, зумовленого трансформаціями в політичній системі суспільства, проведенням адміністративно-територіальних, регіональних реформ, упровадженням конструктивного соціального партнерства між центром і територіями.
Таким чином, проблема модернізації сучасної системи місцевого самоврядування в Україні набуває нового концептуального змісту. Її розв’язання сприятиме вирішенню важливих для населення питань у межах регіону.

У статті теоретично узагальнено фактори ефективності функціонування публічного управління України в період воєнного стану. На основі аналізу наукових джерел постає питання ефективності публічного управління і адміністрування в Україні, що є одним із ключових питань для вітчизняних вчених, з урахуванням того, що публічне управління в умовах війни є новою темою для вітчизняної науки з багатьох питань суспільних цінностей.
На сьогоднішній день не втрачає актуальності питання вирішення різнобічних проблем публічного управління в Україні та безперервної роботи в напрямку розбудови цілісної і незалежної вітчизняної політики, спрямованої на створення системи ефективного менеджменту, забезпечення професійного рівня кадрів, спрямованого на підвищення якості надання послуг в сфері публічного управління після початку широкомасштабного вторгнення.
Саме війна внесла корективи у функціонування публічного управління, і, на перший план виходить забезпечення ефективної роботи публічної служби в умовах війни з урахуванням людських, інфраструктурних, соціально-економічних, екологічних втрат, емоційно-ціннісних переживань громадськості з появою ризиків для життя та обставин викликів війни.
Разом з тим, серед ключових факторів, які сьогодні сприяють підвищенню ефективності роботи спеціалістів в системі публічного управління, можна виокремити: впровадження організації віддаленої роботи публічного службовця; спрощення процедур прийому на роботу нових спеціалістів; залучення на посади спеціалістів-військових у військово-цивільних адміністраціях; організацію підвищення кваліфікації спеціалістів з акцентом на роботі в реаліях війни, враховуючи ціннісну рамку у конкретній діяльності з урахуванням суспільних цінностей.

Досліджуються особливості національного законодавчо-правового контексту інклюзії, що закріплює міжнародні принципи рівності та антидискримінації. Обґрунтовується нормативно-правовий контекст забезпечення права всіх здобувачів на інклюзивну, справедливу та якісну освіту, безперервне навчання; створення недискримінаційних економічних, соціальних, культурних чи особистих умов реалізації права на освіту. Здійснюється аналіз правової складової забезпечення інклюзивної освіти. Прослідковується еволюція поглядів на інклюзивнісь в освіті, починаючи від акцентуванні на понятті «інтеграція» (включення здобувачів з особливими освітніми потребами в основну систему освіти), з переходом до «інклюзії» (зосередженої на «навчальних можливостях» для всіх здобувачів), і усвідомленню більш сучасного і широкого розуміння інклюзивної освіти як справедливої та високоякісної освіти для всіх здобувачів. Надається правозахисне, освітнє, соціальне, економічне обґрунтування переваг інклюзивної освіти для формування та реалізації публічної політики. Визначаються подальші пріоритети розвитку інклюзивних систем освіти в політико-правових практиках держав.
