Yang, Y-R, Chen, C, Pan, C-H, Yen, S-Y, and Cheng, C-F. Effects of half-time re–warm-up with core strength exercises on subsequent agility and power performance in basketball players. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000–000, 2024—This study investigated the effects of half-time re–warm-up (RW) comprising core strength exercise (CSE) on basketball players' subsequent power and change of direction (COD) performance. Twelve male collegiate basketball players were recruited to perform 3 conditions––CSE RW on a stable platform (STA) or an unstable platform (USTA) and passive rest (control, CON)––in randomized, counter-balanced order after a modified Loughborough intermittent shuttle test (LIST). The COD and power performance tests were administered before the LIST and after the interventions. Heart rate (HR) was continuously measured during each trial. Results showed significantly lower changes in T-test time in STA compared with CON (p < 0.05). Changes in countermovement jump height in STA were significantly higher than those in CON (p < 0.05). During the isometric midthigh pull test, changes in the maximum rate of force development (RFD) (p < 0.05), RFD in the range of 0–90 milliseconds (p < 0.05), 0–150 milliseconds (p < 0.05), 0–200 milliseconds (p < 0.05), and 0–250 milliseconds (p < 0.05), in STA were significantly higher than those in CON. In addition, RFD in the range of 0–150 milliseconds (p < 0.05) and 0–250 milliseconds (p < 0.05) in USTA was significantly higher than that in CON. The mean HR during USTA was significantly higher than that in STA and CON (p < 0.05). These findings indicated that CSE RW during halftime might prevent power and COD performance decline in the second half of a game, with practical implications for coaches and players.
Estimation of Sensitivity Coefficients for Rockwell Indenters Using Finite Element Simulation for Uncertainty Evaluation
Authors: Tanaka Yukimi , Hattori Koichiro , Yoshioka Masahiro
Published: January 2025

Rockwell hardness testing is a widely used hardness test, and there are many scales depending on the indenter shape and test force for corresponding to various materials. The common Rockwell indenters are the diamond sphero-conical indenter and the tungsten carbide ball indenter. The influence of indenter shape error on Rockwell hardness has been acknowledged, as this shape impacts test results. To accurately estimate this uncertainty, it is essential to understand the sensitivity coefficient, which delineates the relationship between indenter shape and Rockwell hardness. Traditionally, this coefficient has been derived experimentally, but this approach faces challenges that are attributable to the nonuniformity of hardness test blocks and indenter shape measurement errors. This study introduces the estimation of sensitivity coefficients for Rockwell indenters using finite element analysis (FEA). The FEA method offers the advantage of being unaffected by the nonuniformity of test blocks and indenter shape measurement errors. We calculated the sensitivity coefficients by assessing the influence of variations in indenter angle and tip radius for diamond indenters, and indenter diameter for ball indenters, on hardness results through FEA. The sensitivity coefficients obtained via FEA for specific scales aligned with those from previous experimental studies, affirming the validity of FEA-derived coefficients for other scales. This study demonstrates that FEA is a useful tool for estimating the sensitivity coefficients of Rockwell indenters.
Study on the Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of Soil Stabilized with Alkali-Activated Slag–Steel Slag–Silica Fume
Authors: Shi Xianzeng , Xu Lei , Huang Kai , Cheng Fenfen , Zha Qingkun , Zhao Meng , Xie Yanmei , Fang Ziqiang , Pan Yangyang , Sun Ying
Published: January 2025

In order to solve the problem of low comprehensive utilization rate of industrial solid waste, this article focuses on the three problems of slag, which are steel slag, reuse of silica fume, and the strength enhancement and microscopic mechanism of slag-steel slag-silica fume composite material; analyzes the macro strength of the mixture under different curing ages from the two indexes of unconfined compressive strength and splitting tensile strength; and conducts microscopic tests such as X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared. The internal mechanism of hydration product formation and strength change of slag and steel wollastonite cementitious material under the excitation of sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate mixed solution as alkali activator was discussed. The strength results show that when the optimum mixture ratio of slag: steel slag: silica fume is 6:3:1, the modulus of lye is 1.2, the content of lye is 6 %, and the compressive strength of slag-steel slag-silica fume base polymer reaches 2.44 MPa under the standard curing condition of 28 day. The results show that the hydration products of geopolymer mainly consist of calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H) gel and a small amount of ettringite (AFt) crystal. The addition of slag reduces the calcium/silicon ratio and increases the aluminum/silicon ratio, which makes the gel polymerization degree increase. C-S-H gel can be formed by the reaction of calcium hydroxide and silicon dioxide produced by steel slag hydration. Silica fume can provide highly reactive silicon for the system, and its seed effect and pozzolanic effect can accelerate the hydration process of the system.
Croatian catalogue and database of focal mechanism solutions, characteristic mechanisms, and stress field properties in the Dinarides and the surrounding regions
Authors: Herak Marijan
Published: January 2025

This report presents the CroFMS catalogue and database of focal mechanism solutions (FMS). It is based on the first-motion polarity data for earthquakes in Croatia and the neighbouring regions, collected over last four decades. The current catalogue version contains FMS for 410 earthquakes that were computed consistently, using the same programs, velocity models, and sets of parameters. Its content is described in terms of distributions of the time and origin of polarity picks, magnitudes, epicentral distances of stations, the quality marks, the phases used, azimuthal gap and distance to the closest station. It was also shown that solutions from the CroFMS catalogue and those independently obtained from the moment tensor inversions are generally consistent.Comparison of observed FMS with the latest European model of active fault sources (EFSM20) revealed several inconsistencies, most notably in the Zagreb and Petrinja epicentral areas, the greater Rijeka region, the Central Adriatic archipelago, and in the zone of surface traces of the thrust fronts of the East-Bosnian–Durmitor and Drina–Ivanjica nappes in Bosnia and Herzegovina.Spatial averaging of FMS over the whole study area produced maps of characteristic focal mechanisms, which may be found useful in the seismic hazard assessment in the areas where active faults are not identified or characterised.A formal stress inversion of the focal mechanism solutions produced a map of maximum horizontal stress orientations across the study area, revealing localized lateral variations that had not been identified in previous studies.

The role of libraries is conditioned by a specific civilizational context. The paper will present the evolution of the tasks of scientific libraries in relation to the development of science and the needs of the scientific community throughout history. Academic libraries played a key role as repositories of knowledge, providing access to books and other printed materials. With technological progress, digitalization and changing user needs, libraries had to adapt their activities to meet the new requirements of society and science. The relationship between the development and needs of science and the tasks of scientific libraries will be shown. Questions will also be asked: Have the fundamental goals of the activities of scientific libraries changed due to these changes? What is the role of new tools in their business? How do they adapt to future challenges? Attention will be paid to the importance and evolution of the role of scientific libraries, emphasizing their adaptability and continuation of the most important goals of this institution.
Transformacje Miejskiej Biblioteki Publicznej w Białymstoku w okresie międzywojennym (1920–1939)
Authors:   Biblioteka Uniwersytecka im. Jerzego Giedroycia, Wróbel Wiesław
Published: January 2025

The article discuss the history of the Municipal Public Library in Białystok in the years 1920–1939. However, the author does not focus on the usual reconstruction of the past of the institution in a form of showing it as a sequence of consecutive events in a chronological order. Starting from the conference’s motto, i.e. libraries in transformation, he tries to present the past of the library as a complicated process consisting of various transformations. The starting point of the analysisis the definition of the word transformation, which has narrower and more specialized meaning than „change” (despite the common understanding of both terms as synonyms). This method of analysis of the library’s history is presented on the examples of two mainareas of the librarya ctivities: collection development policy and circulation services. The aim of the articleis to try to answer the question: whether and what transformations were executed in the Municipal Public Library, who initiated them, what course they took and what results they brought.
Power bottom, gay versatile, top persistant, and other borrowings from English in erotic biographies of gay and bisexual porn stars on French adult websites
Authors:   University of Warsaw, Poland, Białas Mateusz
Published: January 2025

This paper examines lexical borrowings from English in the erotic biographies of gay and bisexual porn actors available on French websites. The study adopts an anthropological perspective, drawing on David Le Breton’s concept of the ‘liberated’ body and Marie-Anne Paveau’s typology of pornographic discourse. Three main types of borrowings have been identified: full borrowings (e.g., bareback), hybrid borrowings (e.g., hardeur), and semantic calques (e.g., versatile). The analysis reveals that full borrowings are predominant in the corpus, particularly in conceptual and lexical anaphors referring to specific antecedents, namely male porn stars. Moreover, these borrowings serve various functions in constructing the representations and identities of porn actors within the discourse examined, reflecting both their physical attributes, social roles, and sexual preferences. The investigation emphasizes the significance of borrowings as one of the key mechanism for enriching the French language, especially in the context of persuasive discourse, which mirrors the evolution of societies and contemporary cultural and social phenomena. Ultimately, the study may contribute to the understanding of how linguistic borrowings shape the portrayal of marginalized groups in media and influence the broader discourse on sexuality and identity.
Sciatic nerve analysis in thyroid hormone transporters Mct8 and Oatp1c1 knockout mice
Authors: Mayerl Steffen , Martin Andrea Alcaide , Bauer Reinhard , Heuer Heike
Published: January 2025

Objective

Mutations in the thyroid hormone (TH) transporter monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8) cause Allan–Herndon–Dudley syndrome (AHDS), a severe form of psychomotor retardation with muscle hypoplasia and spastic paraplegia as key symptoms. These abnormalities have been attributed to impaired TH transport across brain barriers and into neural cells, thereby affecting brain development and function. Likewise, Mct8/Oatp1c1 (organic anion-transporting polypeptide 1c1) double knockout (M/Odko) mice, a well-established murine AHDS model, display a strongly reduced TH passage into the brain as well as locomotor abnormalities. To which extent the peripheral nervous system is affected by combined MCT8/OATP1C1 deficiency has not been addressed.

Methods

Using the sciatic nerve as a model, we studied the spatiotemporal expression of TH transporters as well as the sciatic thyroidal state, sciatic nerve myelination and function in M/Odko mice by immunofluorescence, qPCR, Western blotting and electrophysiology.

Results

We detected MCT8 protein expression in sciatic nerve axons, whereas OATP1C1 expression was observed in a subset of endothelial cells early in postnatal development. The absence of MCT8 and OATP1C1 did not alter the thyroidal state of isolated nerves at P12. Moreover, electrophysiological studies did not disclose any significant alteration in sciatic nerve signal propagation parameters in adult M/Odko mice. Although Schwann cell numbers were similar, Western blot analysis showed a mild form of hypermyelination in adult M/Odko mice.

Conclusions

Altogether, our data point to a largely unaffected sciatic nerve structure and function in the absence of MCT8 and OATP1C1.

Apuntes sobre la historiografía de los procesos de departamentalización en Colombia, 1904-1951
Authors: González-Gómez Lina-Marcela
Published: January 2025

Actualmente en Colombia existen 32 departamentos formados en tres grandes momentos: unos son producto del cambio constitucional de 1886; otros surgen durante el siglo XX como resultado de la desintegración que, para la modernización y centralización del Estado y el control a los poderes regionales, se hizo de aquellos, y las últimas creaciones están marcadas por el fin del estado de excepción que denotaban los Territorios Nacionales y el modelo de República unitaria descentralizada, con autonomía de las entidades territoriales, establecido por la carta magna de 1991. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar, a través de un balance bibliográfico que incorpora 75 títulos provenientes de distintas ciencias sociales, especialmente la historia, cómo se interpretan los procesos de departamentalización en el país ocurridos entre 1904 y 1951. Esta revisión muestra dos tendencias en el análisis del problema: una temprana, marcada por su carácter apologético; otra, abierta recientemente, hace revisionismo crítico tanto de la bibliografía existente como de los procesos que llevaron a la creación de los departamentos y permite empezar a entender las luchas autonómicas del siglo XX como evidencia de disputas entre poderes locales y regionales por la economía, el acceso a la burocracia y los recursos del Estado.
Students’ Agency in a Foreign Language Policy in Colombian Higher Education
Authors: Lopera Sergio , Sierra Nelly
Published: January 2025

This qualitative ethnographic study investigates students’ agency of a language policy in a Colombian public university. Participants were 85 undergraduate students, and data collection involved document analysis, non-participatory observation, a questionnaire, and a portfolio. Three categories emerged from the analysis: acceptance, rejection, and ignoring. Regarding acceptance, the findings suggest that some students agreed with including English in the curriculum. Some other students expressed rejection related to the English class, the methodology, the evaluation proposal, and the course material. Other students ignored elements regarding their own role in the program, extra-class activities, and participation and attendance in class. Conclusions indicate that students are not passive recipients of language policies because they exercise agency differently at the micro level.
English Teachers’ Emotions and Regulation Strategies in Response to Students’ Disruptive Behaviour
Authors: Wangdi Thinley , Rigdel Karma Sonam
Published: January 2025

This study explored the emotions and coping strategies of 25 Bhutanese English teachers in response to student disruption. Thematic analysis of in-depth interviews revealed that the participants encountered a variety of students’ disruptive behaviours that elicited a wide range of emotions, both positive (e.g., compassion and pride) and negative (e.g., frustration, irritation, anger, sadness, anxiety, insult, guilt, and disappointment). Findings also indicated that teachers regulate their emotions using both antecedent-focused (e.g., situation selection, situation modification, attention deployment, and cognitive change) and response-focused (e.g., emotion suppression, deep breathing, journaling, talking with colleagues or students, listening to music, and watching movies) emotion regulation strategies. The study concludes with practical implications for policymakers, teachers, and teacher educators and recommendations for future research.

Przeprowadzone analizy pokazują, że sytuacja komunikacyjna miała wpływ na wszystkie te elementy.
Discriminatory Treatment Against Minority Communities in Sharia Region: A Study of Parmalim Adherents in Aceh Singkil
Authors: Yasin Taslim HM , Majid Abd , Maizuddin Maizuddin , Mardhatillah Jundy
Published: January 2025

This article describes the condition of Parmalim believers in Aceh Singkil who are marginalized and receive discriminatory treatment. This discriminatory treatment has left Parmalim believers in limbo when it comes to practicing their faith. The number of these believers in the area is decreasing day by day as more and more are converting to state-recognized religions. The research method used is the qualitative research method. The informants in this study consisted of key informants such as the village head, the secretariat of the Parmalim sect, the weekly ritual leader, and the Persantian board, as well as supporting informants, namely Parmalim believers who could provide additional information to enrich the data such as farmers, traders and people who are active in social activities in Parmalim. The results show that social activities and interactions between Parmalim believers and community members of other religions continue to run well. However, the phenomenon of discriminatory treatment against Parmalim believers is still ongoing. Proposals to repair places of worship to the Aceh Singkil Regional Government have never been fulfilled. In the field of education, there are no religious lessons or worship practices to strengthen the children of Parmalim followers. The children of Parmalim believers do not dare to reveal their beliefs, because the religious teachers at school only teach Islamic and Christian religious education.
Moving from a Little Tradition to a Great Tradition: Salafi Reform in Indonesia
Authors: Rosadi Andri , Najibul Khairi Syaie Akhmad , Saputro Agus , Amal Khairul
Published: January 2025

This article aims to examine the Salafi commitment to only refer to practices and beliefs based on evidence, which has two consequences at once, namely the potential for conflict and the process of religious literacy. Conducted in the Kampar area, this study uses a qualitative research method and is divided into two periods. The first is from September to December 2016 and the second is in 2022 after Covid-19. The second period focuses on the aspect of deepening and revalidating some important information about Salafism in Kampar through observation. The results of the research show that Salafi renewal includes aspects of beliefs and practices that are categorized as pollutants. The basis of legitimacy in the purification process is the normative argument contained in the Qur’an and authentic hadith. Embracing a religion in this context is a process of literacy, not imitation. In the end, it can be concluded that Salafi has encouraged the process of shifting from a little tradition to a large tradition in the Islamic community in Kampar.
Adat in the Discourse of “Lived Religion”: Local Wisdom as a Model of Indigenous Religion Recognition in Indonesia
Authors: Balla Nggiku Emanuel , Lattu Izak Yohan Matriks , Bartalis Kata-Szilvia
Published: January 2025

This research examines local wisdom as a model for recognizing indigenous religions within the context of interfaith encounters through adat practices. While Indonesia’s diversity of beliefs is a significant cultural asset, it can also become a source of conflict if not properly managed, particularly concerning the recognition of indigenous religions. Indigenous religions serve as guardians of local wisdom and play a crucial role in fostering social cohesion. Therefore, the application of local wisdom through adat practices is vital for facilitating interfaith encounters in everyday life, aligning with the concept of lived religion. The interpretation of local wisdom and the practice of traditional ceremonies—comprising rituals, symbols, and oral narratives—play a pivotal role in acknowledging the existence and value of indigenous religions. By focusing on the case of Marapu, indigenous religion in Sumba, this research highlights the importance of recognizing indigenous religions within the broader Indonesian context. The study employs a qualitative methodology with a critical ethnographic approach, utilizing data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and literature review. The findings reveal that adat, as a lived religious practice among the people of Sumba, serves as a “womb” capable of providing social recognition for Marapu. Within the Christian-Marapu encounter, significant interpenetration occurs during the implementation of adat, emphasizing the deep entwinement of cultural practices and belief systems in sustaining mutual respect and coexistence.
Tri Hita Karana and Islamic Ethics: Bridging Universal Values for Social Harmony and Environmental Sustainability
Authors: Hisyam Mohamad Ali , Damyati Akhmad Rofii , Hambali Khadijah Binti Mohd Khambali @ , Toksöz Hatice
Published: January 2025

Tri Hita Karana (THK) is a fundamental principle of Hindu philosophy, particularly influential in Bali that emphasizes harmony in three interrelated realms: with the divine (Parahyangan), with fellow human beings (Pawongan), and with nature (Palemaha). This balance has fostered social cohesion within Hindu communities, promoted environmental stewardship, and served as a broader model for societal harmony and sustainability. While rooted in Hinduism, THK resonates with universal values that transcend religious boundaries. However, as Muslims seek to adopt practices inspired by THK, theological differences may arise, particularly regarding acts of worship. This study explores the compatibility of THK with Islamic teachings, particularly in the areas of social and environmental ethics, drawing on the work of scholars such as Mutawalli Sha‘rawi. Both Islam and Hinduism emphasize obedience to God, human welfare, and environmental responsibility. However, differences in worship must be respected. Muslims can embrace THK’s principles of social and environmental responsibility within the permissible framework of Islamic doctrine while avoiding practices associated with Parahyangan. This approach promotes interfaith understanding while enabling collective efforts toward social harmony and environmental stewardship.
Anti-Ahmadiyya Rulings in East Sumatra: An Epistemological Review of Religious Opinion in Pre-Independence Indonesia
Authors: Ja'far Ja'far , Umar Muhammad Noor  , Asrul Asrul , Rasyid Harun Al
Published: January 2025

This study examines the religious perspectives on the Ahmadiyya movement in East Sumatra in the early twentieth century. The primary research questions are: What was the official stand of the ‘ulamā’ of the Ahmadiyya movement in East Sumatra? What were the epistemological foundations of their views? To date, there has been no specific research on this topic. Thus, this study aims to provide a historical, sociological, and philosophical review of the rejection of the Ahmadiyya movement that emerged in East Sumatra in the 1930s. This is a library research study employing historical, sociological, and philosophical approaches. Al-Jabiri’s epistemological framework is utilized as a tool to analyze this research topic. The study reveals that the ‘ulamā’ in East Sumatra, particularly Tengkoe Fachroeddin and the Committee for the Eradication of Ahmadiyya Qadiyani Beliefs, concluded that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and his followers were apostates and infidels. In constructing their knowledge about the Ahmadiyya, they employed rational epistemology. This study argues that the rejection by scholars in East Sumatra is based on rational arguments in reference to the religious sciences they studied. This approach has negative implications as it facilitated the emergence of religious attitudes that are dogmatic, defensive, apologetic, and polemical.
Contesting the Inclusive Islam Discourse in the Public Sphere: Insights from Southeast Asia
Authors: Muhtador Moh , Ulya Ulya
Published: January 2025

The narratives of peace, humanity, and religious freedom have become central to public discourse, particularly in promoting inclusive Islamic theology within Muslim communities across ASEAN countries, e.g. Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines. This discourse unfolds in various public spaces: government institutions, religious organizations, educational settings, and places of worship. It reflects a dynamic religious contestation, driven by organic intellectuals who engage through institutional channels and humanistic awareness. This article seeks to explore the religious discourse surrounding the productive contestation of inclusive Islamic theology and to analyze how this discourse is disseminated among Muslim scholars in Southeast Asia. A qualitative research method was employed, involving observations and interviews with influential Muslim scholars from academic, governmental, and religious organizations. The focus was on understanding how individuals are shaped by the policies and ideas they advocate. Interviews provided insights from academics and religious activists (referred to as Muslim scholars) on the issue of inclusive Islamic theology. The analysis draws on contestation theory to examine the arena of religious narratives in the public sphere. Findings indicate that the discourse surrounding inclusive Islamic theology in Southeast Asia varies by country, with each nation adapting it to its unique cultural and social landscape. In Indonesia, for example, the discourse is often more inclusive and culturally grounded, while in other countries, it may take a more structural approach. Despite these variations, Southeast Asian Muslim scholars broadly agree on the importance of promoting inclusive Islamic theology drawing upon religious teachings, state policies, and societal characteristics as key considerations.

Authors:   Independent Researcher, Leading Financial Firm, Texas, USA, Nair Sreejith Sreekandan , Lakshmikanthan Govindarajan ,   Independent Researcher, Florida, USA
Published: January 2025

The global shift to remote work has greatly increased the potential targets for cyberattacks, demanding
stronger security measures than what Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) can provide. VPNs provide a bottom-line layer
of security but don’t address the changing complexity of the distributed world of work. In this paper, we discuss
advanced security frameworks and best practices to protect data and identity in a purely remote work setting, focusing
on threat mitigation. The discussed key strategies include Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA), Secure Access Service Edge
(SASE), Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), and multi-factor authentication (MFA). The paper also points out
that employee cybersecurity training, risk assessments and integration with AI-driven threat intelligence systems. These
approaches are demonstrated through case studies showing how organizations have navigated the shift to a remote-first
setup. Using these cutting-edge strategies, enterprises can avoid the risk of remote work by continuing to be productive
and secure.

Published: January 2025

Power optimization is a critical challenge in System-on-chip (SoC) design due to the growing demand
for high-performance mobile devices with extended battery life. This paper explores novel applications of machine
learning (ML) technologies to readdress the question of power optimization strategies in mobile SoCs. In order to
balance performance and power consumption in real time, ML takes advantage of predictive modeling, dynamic power
management, and energy efficient workload scheduling. This study makes key contributions to integrating ML models
into SoC architectures, including a novel ML-driven adaptive voltage scaling and frequency tuning workflow that
demonstrates the potential for significant power savings, as well as empirical analysis. Given our findings, we believe
that ML offers a transformative potential for the realization of sustainable and efficient mobile computing solutions.

Competence Modelling From the Perspective of Complex Systems Theories: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Levanaitė Karolina
Published: January 2025

This article aims to investigate how the notion of competence is conceptualised and modelled from the point of view of complex systems theories. Although the importance of competences and competency-based education is widely acknowledged, the concept of competence keeps evolving and it remains difficult to define it in today's constantly changing and uncertain VUCA world. Therefore, this study explores how the approach of complex systems, which is increasingly more often applied in educational research, can contribute to the definition of competence. The article presents a systematic review of 21 articles published in various databases in 2000-2023, revealing that from the perspective of complex systems, competence can be conceptualised both at the individual level and at the level of the whole system or organisation; it can follow a functionalist or contextual approach. Based on the research findings, it is assumed that in certain cases competence can be treated as emergence or even as an entire complex system, characterised by such properties as non-linearity, chaos, emergence, feedback loops, etc. Finally, this article reviews the variety of complexity-informed mathematical/computational and theoretical models utilised in the reviewed studies, the application of which opens up new avenues in overall educational research.

A multisensory system of the "electronic tongue" type was developed based on glassy carbon electrodes modified with PEC@GO, PEC@SWCNT, PEC@CB and PEC@CP composites for the identification of pharmaceutical preparations of naproxen using differential pulse voltammetry. To improve the reliability of voltammetric recognition of pharmaceutical preparations of naproxen, chemometric data processing using PCA and SIMCA was proposed. It was shown that the multisensory system of the "electronic tongue" type correctly distinguishes 100% of the samples. To achieve such a degree of recognition, the multisensory system should include at least 4 sensors. The accuracy of recognition was tested on 3 samples of commercially available naproxen pharmaceuticals: "Nalgesin", "Teraliv", and "Nexemezin", produced by different manufacturers.
Patents in window manufacturing: the 1970s block-system
Authors: Grom Rouven S.
Published: January 2025

In 1974, the company Götz from Deggendorf, Germany, launched a new aluminium window construction on the market, known as window-block-system. Its striking features were a concealed window vent, invisible from the outside regardless of its opening type, and an extremely narrow face width of the external outer frame. The system combined favourable climatic properties and sophisticated design requirements. For this invention, Götz secured extensive industrial property rights. However, a look at the contemporary window market shows a similar design previously filed for patent by the Munich-based company Schöninger, and a predecessor for both inventions can be found at the end of the 1960s. The following analysis of window-block-designs from the 1960s to 1980s reveals that numerous manufacturers created supposedly new but rather similar products and were economically successful both with and without property rights. Learning from the exemplary case of window-block-systems, the paper discusses the industrial property rights strategy of various window manufacturers as well as their inventorship and the role and relevance of patents and utility models for innovation in the building sector.

Published: January 2025

The rapid expansion of solar photovoltaic (PV) technology underscores the urgent need for sustainable End-of-Life (EoL) management to address resource scarcity and environmental concerns. As solar panel adoption grows, efficient and eco-friendly disposal methods are crucial. This study, aligned with SDG 7 and SDG 12, proposes an integrated recycling approach combining thermal, chemical, and green methods to maximize material recovery with minimal environmental impact. Thermal treatment delaminates panels, preserving silicon wafers and glass, followed by eco-friendly chemical processes to recover critical metals like silver and aluminum. By incorporating green solvents, this approach overcomes limitations of conventional methods, supporting circular economy principles while reducing waste. The recovered materials can be repurposed for manufacturing new solar panels or other high-value applications, enhancing resource efficiency. Additionally, this method offers cost-effective and scalable solutions for global solar panel waste management. Future research should focus on industrial scalability and economic feasibility to promote widespread adoption. Advancing such sustainable recycling strategies will strengthen solar energy’s role in environmental responsibility and long-term resource conservation.
Effect of single and hybrid incorporation of steel, polypropylene, and PET fibers on the properties of concrete under static and impact loading
Authors: Al-Hagri Mohammed Gamal , Döndüren Mahmud Sami
Published: January 2025

In this paper, the effect of single and hybrid use of steel fibers (STF), polypropylene fibers (PPF), and PET fibers (PETF) on the static and impact properties of concrete was comprehensively evaluated. Concretes were evaluated and compared according to different properties, including static properties (unit weight, compressive strength, flexural strength, splitting tensile strength, fracture energy, and flexural toughness), microstructural properties, impact performance, and cost. In addition, the overall performances of the tested mixtures were comparatively assessed using the desirability function (DF) analysis. The performed tests and analyses showed that while STF had a positive effect on the compressive strength of concrete, PPF and PETF had a negative effect. On the other hand, fibers, especially STF, remarkably increased the splitting tensile strength, flexural strength, flexural toughness, fracture energy, and impact performance of concrete. It was found that under static and impact loads, fibers were successful at shifting the brittle behavior of concrete into a more ductile one. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed that STF had a better adherence with the surrounding cement paste than PPF and PETF. It was concluded from the DF analysis that concrete containing %1 STF showed the best overall performance among all the tested concrete mixtures.

Authors: SILVA VALÉCIO SENNA VASCONCELOS DA
Published: January 2025

O objetivo desse ensaio foi promover uma reflexão teórica sobre a Práxis humana, oferecendo uma nova argumentação feita pela análise de conceitos contemporâneos do movimento humano, baseada na ciência da motricidade humana e nos pensamentos de autores catedráticos no assunto, verificados em todas as etapas de apresentação dessa pesquisa de cunho filosófico. O resultado qualitativo do estudo aponta para a original formulação e compilação de um arquétipo executivo-teórico-prático do comportamento motor, visualizado no organograma estrutural criado, pontuando o conceito teórico de todos os componentes integrantes e participativos dessa complexa engrenagem textual da ação motora, desnudada e sustentada sobre a severa interpretação fenomênica de todos esses prolegômenos citados na Práxis motriz que conduz ao entendimento integrado e totalizante do movimento humano como a qualidade de pessoa, e suas diretrizes de interpretação da conduta motora e sua intencionalidade invisível para nós.
