Low-frequency capacitor with hopping electrical conductivity of the working substance (on the example of a-Si:H)
Authors: Poklonski N. A. , Anikeev I. I. , Vyrko S. A.
Published: July 2024

We propose a structural and electrical schemes of a capacitor based on a 3 μm thick a-Si:H (amorphous hydrogenated silicon) layer separated from the metal plates by 0.3 μm thick dielectric layers of SiO2 (silicon dioxide). We consider room temperatures (T ≈ 300 K) when in the absence of illumination for a-Si:H the hopping mechanism of electron migration via point defects of the structure prevails. For such a capacitor, the dependencies of the capacitance on the frequency of the measuring signal ω/2π in the range from 0.1 to 300 Hz are calculated for the a-Si:H layer with stationary hopping electrical conductivity σdc ≈ 1 ∙ 10−10 (Ohm ∙ cm)−1. It is assumed that there is no end-to-end electron transfer between the a-Si:H layer, dielectric layers and capacitor plates in the small-signal mode of capacitance measurement. It is shown that the real part of the capacitance of the capacitor decreases with increasing angular frequency ω, and the imaginary part is negative and depends non-monotonically on ω. The decrease in the real part of the device capacitance to the geometric capacitance of the series-connected oxide layers and the a-Si:H layer with increasing ω is due to a decrease in the electrical resistance of the capacitor. As a result, with increasing ω, the imaginary part of the capacitance is shunted by the hopping electrical conductivity of the capacitor. The phase shift for a sinusoidal electrical signal supplied to the capacitor is determined depending on the frequency ω/2π in the range of 0.1–300 Hz for the values of electrical conductivities of the hydrogenated amorphous silicon layer σdc ≈ 1 ∙ 10−11, 1 ∙ 10−10, and 1 ∙ 10−9 (Ohm ∙ cm)−1 at the temperature 300 K. With an increase in the electrical conductivity σdc of the a-Si:H layer, the minimum absolute value of the phase shift angle (≈65°) shifts to the high- frequency region (from 1 to 100 Hz). The proposed low-frequency capacitor can find application in electrical circuits for detecting low-frequency electrical signals for the purposes of biomedicine.
Classical solution to mixed problems from the theory of longitudinal impact on an elastic semi-infinite rod in the case of separation of the impacting body after the collision
Authors: Korzyuk V. I. , Rudzko J. V.
Published: July 2024

In this work, we consider two coupled initial-boundary value problems, which, based on the Saint-Venant theory, model the longitudinal impact phenomena in a semi-infinite rod. The mathematical formulation of the problem is two mixed problems for the one-dimensional wave equation with conjugation conditions. The Cauchy conditions are specified on the spatial half-line. The initial condition for the partial derivative with respect to the time variable has a discontinuity of the first kind at one point. The boundary condition, which includes the unknown function and its first- and second-order partial derivatives, is specified on the time half-line. The solution is constructed by the method of characteristics in an explicit analytical form. The uniqueness of the solution is proved, and the conditions under which a piecewise-smooth solution exists are established. The classical solution to a mixed problem with matching conditions is considered.
Asymptotic method for solving the problem of transition process optimization in a three-tempo singularly perturbed system
Authors: Kalinin A. I. , Lavrinovich L. I.
Published: July 2024

The problem of constructing a transition process with minimal energy costs for a linear singularly perturbed system containing three groups of variables with significantly different rates of change is considered. Asymptotic approximations to solving this problem are constructed in the form of an open-loop and feedback controls. The main advantage of the proposed computational procedures is that the original problem is split into three unperturbed optimal control problems of lower dimension.
Analysis of the radiation effect on the activity of thyroid blood transport systems: connection with the features of thyroid status
Authors: Mityukova T. A.
Published: July 2024

Thyroid-binding proteins play an important role in regulating thyroid status. However, the question of the radiation effect on the functional state of thyroid blood transport systems remains insufficiently studied. The aim of the work was to assess the indicators of thyroid status and thyroid blood transport in persons exposed to radiation as a result of the Chernobyl accident. The task of the work was also to analyze the results of an oral test for thyroxine pharmacokinetics in patients with thyroid carcinoma who received radioiodine therapy. Screening studies conducted 5−6 years after the Chernobyl accident indicate the radiation effect on the free thyroxine content in the blood and the functional activity of thyroid protein transport in children and adolescents living in the territories of the Khoiniki district of the Gomel region. The dose-dependent effect of an absorbed dose of 131I was also detected in children and adolescents displaced from the 30 km zone of the Chernobyl accident. The results of an oral test for thyroxine pharmacokinetics demonstrate an increase in the free T4 content against the background of a stable total T4 fraction in patients with thyroid carcinoma who received high dose loads as a result of radioiodine therapy. The conducted studies confirm the possibility of the influence of a high dose of 131I on thyroid blood transport systems and on the ratio of free and bound fractions of thyroid hormones in the blood.

Authors: Rubanik V. V. , Bahrets D. A. , Rubanik V. V. , Urban V. I.
Published: July 2024

The paper presents the results of research on morphology, elemental composition, microhardness, corrosion properties of the surface layer of TiNi alloy subjected to ion-plasma (vacuum-arc method) deposition of TiN coating and ultrasonic treatment (UT) with different number of passes (n). The SEM method showed that ultrasonic treatment provides a significant reduction in the amount of the droplet phase on the TiN coating surface. The surface discontinuity of TiN coating at local points was observed with an increase in the number of passes during ultrasonic treatment. The effect of combined processing methods on the microhardness of TiNi sample was studied. It was shown that the synergistic effect can be observed for two hardening methods. The combined strengthening method increased the microhardness of TiNi alloy (1.6 GPa in the as-received state): due to the deposition of a TiN coating – up to 10.9 GPa, due to subsequently ultrasonic treatment – up to 14.5–18.4 GPa depending on the number of passes. For UT + TiN scheme, it was shown that the open circuit potential Ecorr was about –250 mV which is practically independent of the number of passes and determined by the potential value of TiN coating. For TiN + UT scheme, it was found that with an increase in the number of passes, the value of Ecorr shifts towards more negative values approaching the open circuit potential value of the TiNi sample in the as-received state (–350 mV). The analysis of Scanning Vibrating Electrode Technique (SVET) results showed high electrochemical compatibility of substrate (TiNi) and coating (TiN) materials in a chloride environment with minimal current density fluctuations for the samples subjected to UT + TiN and TiN + UT (n = 1). The proposed method for TiNi alloy treatment according to TiN + UT scheme (n = 1) promotes an improvement of surface morphology and corrosion resistance.

Published: July 2024

A metaverse is a virtual convergence environment that promotes inclusiveness and diversity by maintaining social relationships among users through avatars and engaging them in various cultural activities. Because everyday activities can be maintained the same in a metaverse environment, the transmission, exchange, and sharing of useful and accurate information among members in the metaverse environment has become important. Additionally, the desire and requirements of members to obtain the desired information through conversations with avatars in a metaverse are increasing; the number of these cases is also increasing. Accordingly, in this study, we redesigned and implemented the structure of the metaverse platform at Korea Polytechnics such that generative AI based on an LLM could be utilized on the metaverse platform. By presenting experimental examples according to the implementation, we confirmed that an AI-based service could be provided that configured the LLM and generated answers in the metaverse. In future research, we plan to apply various generative AI models to the metaverse platform, present a customized model through a comparative analysis, and continue research on implementing our LLM model.

Published: July 2024

As delivery culture grows rapidly, global regulations on disposable products and packaging materials are being strengthened. The use of various chemical additives and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plasticizers in the packaging material manufacturing process has been confirmed to cause water pollution and microplastics. Therefore, it is important to develop biodegradable packaging materials. When polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) is mixed with polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PLA), a biodegradable petroleum material, its applications in food and medical device packaging are limited owing to its low tensile strength and high opacity. However, the plant-based PLA composite material with added PHA exhibits excellent blown extrusion processability, improved tensile strength (MPa) by 32%, and improved transparency by more than 80%. Furthermore, in a comparative study, it was determined that the tensile strength of the composite material can be improved by 170% by changing the biodegradable mixing ratio. The composite material, which comprises PHA, is a white bioplastic known for its significant carbon reduction effect. It is expected to serve as a sustainable material for future generations.

The estrous cycle of 8 Arabian mares was followed for one year, by visual observation of the estrous behaviour and by teasing with a stallion. Serum progesterone concentration was determined by RIA, Vaginal electric resistence was studied with aid of Ovascan, comapared with the changes in the reproductive tract as determined by rectal examination for prediction of ovulation. The changes in the reproductive tract and the behavioural manifestations expressed during the cycle indicated that the experimental mares were exhibiting estrous year arround, however, 75% of the cycles were observed during the months from March to August and 25% during the. rest of the year. The total number of cycles exhibited by the mares averaged 68 cycles, of these 22 cycles were observed during Summer, 20 during Spring, decreased to 13 cycles during Fall and 13 during Winter. the length of the estrous cycle ranged between 24-26. 31 days, the average estrus length ranged between 5.5-8.6 days andthe luteal phase ranged from 19.04-24.87 days. The ovascan readings showed decline by 50 degrees, constantly, a day preceeding ovulation, compared to the readings during the rest of estrus days and this finding was confirmed by rectal palpation of the reproductive tract in succeeding day which disclosed the disappearance of the mature follicle and the: presence of the ovulation site on the ovary, consequently, the estrous signs faded away gradually within 24-48 hours of the ovuletion. Serum progesterone concentration, during’ the estrus and one day before ovulation ranged between 0.58 -1.05 ng/ml, while mean luteal phase concentration was 10.2820.89 ng/ml. The results of the present study disclosed that the mares in Iraq could be bred any time of the year and it is most probable that measurement of progesterone concentration will have more practical application for monitring ovarian activity and estrus prediction, if. a rapid system of measurment made avilable (as progesterone strip). The application of Ovascan proved effecient tool for prediction of ovulation in the mare, providing information for synchroniztion of service with ovulation, a mean augmenting fertility and avoiding rectal palpation which hinder service.

Real Exchange Rate, Exports, and Imports Movements: A Trivariate Analysis
Authors: M. Ali Kemal  , Usman Qadir
Published: July 2024

The exchange rate exerts a strong influence on a country’s trade. It is depicted from the high correlation between the real exchange rate and exports (0.90) and that between the real exchange rate and imports (0.88). In the present-day scenario of falling levels of tariff and a reduced number of non-tariff barriers, the exchange rate has assumed a crucial role in influencing the trade deficit. Imports have a very significant association with exports as shown by the correlation between exports and imports (0.97). The increase in exports in the absence of surplus stocks requires an increase in production, which in turn requires capital and raw material. We analysed the long-run relationship and the short-run dynamics among the three variables. It is concluded that there exists a long-run relationship between real exchange rate, exports, and imports; and real exchange rate is negatively associated with the exports and positively associated with the imports. In the short-run, imports and exports adjust towards their equilibrium when there is disequilibrium. But the adjustment in the imports is greater than the adjustment in the exports. Moreover, exports do not respond to the shock caused by the real exchange rate, but imports respond to the sudden shock in the real exchange rate. The study ends up with the note that the sudden movements in the real exchange rate do not affect exports. Therefore, Pakistan should not worry about exchange rate shocks.
Motivation and Involvement of Men in Family Planning in Pakistan
Authors: M Framurz Khan Kiani
Published: July 2024

The study of men in involvement and use of family planning methods is important because of their dominant role in family decision-making in the socio-structural context of Pakistan. The objective of present study is to examine the changes in knowledge and attitude of men about family planning, and also to estimate the extent to which it affects their contraceptive use behaviour. The findings show that men’s knowledge and contraceptive use has increased three times during the period from 1968-69 to 1990. The important factors that determine men’s contraceptive use behaviour are the approval of family planning, the communication with wife on family planning matters, and the desire for children. The multivariate analysis shows that men living in urban areas, with greater knowledge and a positive attitude towards family planning, are more likely to use contraception. In addition, wife’s autonomy is also important in explaining men’s involvement in the use of family planning. The study reveals that most Pakistani men approve of family planning and suggests that men should receive an equal focus together with women in the population welfare programme activities.

Influence of shielding gas flow on the TIG welding process using stainless steel 304 material
Authors: Aljufri Aljufri , Sofyan Sofyan , Rizki Muhammad Nuzan , Putra Reza , Mawardi Indra
Published: July 2024

A common issue encountered with main heat exchanger equipment is improper operation, which can lead to the development of cracks in the stainless-steel pipes. The welding process alters the metal microstructure in the heat-affected zone, thereby affecting the mechanical properties of the welded joint. To mitigate this issue, TIG welding with argon shielding gas is employed. This method helps prevent oxidation and ensures the formation of a stable welding arc in 304 stainless steel, which is renowned for its excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of variations in shielding gas flow on the mechanical properties of 304 stainless steel plates during the TIG welding process. The aim is to determine the optimal settings for producing robust and long-lasting welded joints. To assess the hardness of the welded joints, we employed a Brinell-type Hardness Tester FB-3000LC machine. A Brinell steel ball indenter measuring 5 mm on the HBW scale and applying a load of 125 Kgf was utilized. At a protective gas flow rate of 8 L/min, the average tensile stress was 44.72 N/mm², strain was 0.177, modulus of elasticity was 2518 MPa, and hardness was 99.712 HBW. Increasing the gas flow rate to 13 L/min resulted in an average tensile stress of 47.50 N/mm², strain of 0.189, elastic modulus of 2525 MPa, and hardness of 105.522 HBW. Further increasing the gas flow rate to 18 L/min led to an average tensile stress of 49.69 N/mm², strain of 0.192, modulus of elasticity of 2597 MPa, and hardness of 106.704 HBW. Based on the research findings, it was observed that the weld area exhibited an increase in hardness values due to the heat generated during the welding process. The use of protective gas flow during welding is deemed effective in producing well-formed welded joints, as it prevents fractures from occurring within the weld area during the tensile test process. The choice of protective gas is determined by the dimensions of the material plate.

Authors: Fernandez-Ortega Carmen , Trigueros Rubén , Fernández Antonio
Published: July 2024

A pesar de las políticas educativas que han promovido el plurilingüismo en las escuelas, los niveles de competencia en lengua inglesa de los jóvenes españoles siguen estando por debajo de los de los países miembros de la OCDE (Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económico). Y ello a pesar de la aparición de múltiples estudios que han abordado la competencia comunicativa y su intencionalidad desde una perspectiva positiva. Sin embargo, apenas existen estudios que analicen los problemas o bloqueos que pueden estar causando la falta de habilidades y competencias comunicativas de nuestros jóvenes. Por ello, el objetivo del presente estudio es analizar la correlación entre las necesidades psicológicas frustración con vergüenza, ansiedad y desesperanza, motivación e intencionalidad comunicativa en inglés. La muestra de participantes es de 786 estudiantes de secundaria. Los análisis empleados son análisis de fiabilidad, media, desviación típica, correlaciones bivariadas y un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales. Los resultados mostraron que la frustración de las necesidades psicológicas predijo positivamente la ansiedad, la vergüenza y la desesperanza y, a su vez, cada una de estas emociones predijo negativamente la motivación y la intención comunicativa. Sin embargo, la motivación predijo positivamente la intención comunicativa.

Does experiential marketing alone encourage domestic tourists to revisit? Evidence from a tourist destination in West Java, Indonesia
Authors: Ratnamiasih Ina , Wasito Wasito , Baihaqi Muhammad Iqbal , Andriyani Mira

The sustainable growth of tourist destinations relies heavily on revisit intention. Retaining repeat tourists is not only more economical but also about five times more profitable than attracting new ones. A dominant paradigm in tourist behavior literature shows a sequential relationship among image, quality, satisfaction, and post- behavior. Few studies have examined experiential marketing as a determinant of revisit intention. This study aims to extend the literature by investigating the effects of service quality and experiential marketing on revisit intention, with tourist satisfaction as a mediator. A total of 166 responses from domestic tourists who visited Purwakarta, West Java, Indonesia, were analyzed using PLS-SEM. The results confirmed the positive effects of service quality and experiential marketing on tourist satisfaction. Interestingly, the mediating role of tourist satisfaction was only partial, as the direct relationship between experiential marketing and revisit intention was not supported. Experiential marketing might enhance specific aspects of the tourist experience, providing immediate and short-term positive effects that influence satisfaction directly after the visit. However, overall satisfaction encompasses a broader evaluation of the entire trip, integrating various elements and lasting impressions that collectively drive the intention to revisit.
Integrating large language models into the psychological sciences
Authors: Sohail Aamir , Zhang Lei
Published: July 2024

Large Language Models (LLMs) have significantly shaped working practices across a variety of fields including academia. Demonstrating a remarkable versatility, these models can generate responses to prompts with information in the form of text, documents, and images, show ability to summarise documents, perform literature searches, and even more, understand human behaviours. However, despite providing many clear benefits, barriers remain towards their integration into academic work. Ethical and practical concerns regarding their suitability for various tasks further complicate their appropriate use. Here, we summarise recent literature assessing the capacity of LLMs for different components of academic research and teaching, focusing on three key areas in the psychological sciences: education and assessment, academic writing, and simulating human behaviour. We discuss how LLMs can be used to aid each area, describe current challenges and good practices, and propose future directions. In doing so, we aim to increase the awareness and proper use of LLMs in various components of academic work, which will only feature more heavily over time.
Psychometric Reliability of ERN and Pe Across Flanker, Stroop, and Go/No-Go Tasks: A Direct and Conceptual Replication

Published: July 2024

The effectiveness of error-related negativity (ERN) in assessing individual differences hinges on its psychometric reliability. Despite evidence that task used to record ERN moderates reliability, this moderation is rarely examined within the same sample, risking inaccurate generalizations of psychometrics. A direct and conceptual replication of Meyer et al. (2013, Psychophysiology) was conducted in 182 participants to assess internal consistency of ERN from flanker, go/no-go, and Stroop tasks as a function of increasing trials. Analyses were extended to include error positivity (Pe) and difference scores (ERN, Pe), and generalizability theory and multilevel models were used to statistically compare internal consistency across tasks. Overall, data supported the internal consistency of results across three tasks in a healthy undergraduate sample, with values ranging from .70 to .97 when examining all data. However, estimates were in part outside the confidence intervals of the original study, and ERN scores showed lower internal consistency than previously reported for a flanker task and higher internal consistency than previously reported for a Stroop task. Pe score internal consistency was similar across tasks when examining the average number of error trials. These findings underscore the importance of examining reliability in each study rather than relying on universal trial cutoffs. Overall, a flanker task may be better suited for studies of ERN due to higher internal consistency of ERN scores when including data from all error trials, However, exclusively using a single task is discouraged because understanding the functional significance of ERN and Pe requires considering task-specific nuances and the varying contributions of cognitive processes, such as cognitive control or response inhibition.
Psychological drivers of conservation policy support: A systematic scoping review of quantitative evidence

In light of the current biodiversity crisis, broader and stricter conservation policies are increasingly required. As is the case of other environmental policies, public support for conservation measures often is a necessary condition for their success. Identifying which factors are associated with citizens’ support for conservation policies is thus crucial for policy-making. To do so, we conducted the first scoping review of studies empirically investigating the effect of psychological factors on conservation policy support, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR). After completing data screening, 66 studies were included in the review and the results were synthesized using both a narrative approach and descriptive statistical analyses. Among the reviewed sources, we found that representational factors (i.e. beliefs, perceptions) have received the most attention from scholars, and normative factors (i.e. social norms) the least. Moreover, wildlife value orientations, knowledge about conservation and environmental issues, and general policy attitudes are the psychological factors most robustly associated with conservation policy support. These results can inform policy makers aiming to improve the design and success of conservation measures.

Published: July 2024

The construction sector is a sector that employs many people who have high risk of work accidents, because a lot of work in this sector is possibility carried out by unsafe actions or unsafe conditions. PT. Arto Moro Sentosa is company which operates in general trading, general construction, suppliers, outsourcing, etc., is aware that the business has a high risk of work accidents. The lack of employee awareness will have an impact on the magnitude of the risks that must be borne by the worker and the company. The purpose of this research is determining work accident records for the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) system, employee risks, and existing improvements at company. By knowing the classification of hazards based on the type of accident, this research uses the Job Safety Analysis (JSA) method, histograms, Pareto diagrams, and cause-and-effect (fish bone) diagrams. Based on the author's observations, company data related to OHS (Occupational Health and Safety) and interviews with the directors, could be obtained a history of work accidents based on the type of accident. Here are ergonomic work accidents (57.89%), physical factor accidents ( 31.58%), chemical factor accidents (5.26%), biological factor accidents (5.26%), and psychological factor accidents (0%). Several recommendation is performed to avoid repeated accident by providing training programs on OHS to workers, paying more attention to OHS supervision, giving sanctions to workers who violate OHS.
