Published: July 2024

Improving the quality of higher pedagogical education is an important task of the modern stage of the development of Ukrainian society and promising tasks of post-war reconstruction in the field of education and science. Their implementation requires the creation of conditions for the effective professional development of future teachers, including teachers of humanitarian disciplines, the training of methodically competent specialists capable of mastering and creating innovative methods, techniques and technologies for organizing the educational process in an educational institution. Such a task fully meets the requirements of the documents regulating the functioning and modern orientations of the development of education in Ukraine in the 21st century. The purpose and tasks of the research are: to prove the relevance of the problem of professional development of future teachers in the conditions of university education, in particular its methodical sphere, which is represented by the phenomenon of “methodical competence”; characterize its essence, determine the component structure and research methodology. To substantiate the expediency and prospects of applying the modeling method for the theoretical understanding of the possibilities of designing and forecasting the process of formation of the specified phenomenon; create and substantiate its mathematical model. We consider the methodical competence of future teachers of humanitarian disciplines as an integrative personal education, characterized by the presence of the ability to reflect, the desire to carry out methodical activity, an understanding of its value, theoretical knowledge and practical skills that ensure the ability to consciously and methodically expedient use and creation of methods, techniques and technologies teaching. The structure of methodical competence of future teachers of humanitarian disciplines consists of cognitive, motivational-value, activity and evaluation-reflective components with the corresponding indicators. The use of regression analysis as a forecasting tool made it possible to develop a mathematical model of the methodological competence of future teachers of humanitarian disciplines. The created model made it possible to assess the influence of various factors on the formation of methodological competence of future teachers of humanitarian disciplines and to predict the prospects of its further formation in the conditions of a pedagogical university.

The problem of forming the corporate culture of future teachers in the conditions of the university space is extremely urgent, as it significantly determines its effectiveness and ability to achieve the highest standards of education quality in the realities of socio-cultural and economic transformations. The methodological determinants of the formation of the corporate culture of future teachers, based on a set of ideas regarding the conditioning of pedagogical phenomena by the social and cultural environment, the systemic nature of the phenomenon of education, its adequacy to the processes taking place in culture and society, the influence of the general dynamics of the society's culture and changes on it, are defined and substantiated. cultural paradigms, values as the core of culture and orientations of the educational process. Systemic, synergistic, cultural and axiological approaches are defined as such determinants. It is proven that the formation of the corporate culture of future teachers in the conditions of the university space takes place according to the model of this process, which consists of diagnostic, predictive and methodical-organizational components, three (familiarization-orientation, value-reproduction, productive-activity) stages and the corresponding scientific-methodical support, which is implemented in the development of common values of future teachers regarding the content and results of professional and pedagogical activities.

Super-resolution by converting evanescent waves in microsphere to propagating waves and light transmitted from its surface to nano-jet
Authors: Ben-Aryeh Y.
Published: July 2024

The electro-magnetic (EM) waves transmitted through a thin object with fine structures are observed by a microsphere located above the thin object. The EM radiation transmitted through the object produces both evanescent waves, which include information on the fine structures of the object (smaller than a wavelength), and propagating waves, which include the large image of the object (with dimensions larger than a wavelength). The super-resolutions are calculated by using the Helmholtz equation. According to this equation, evanescent waves have an imaginary component of the wavevector in the z direction, leading the components of the wavevector in the transversal directions to become very large so that the fine structures of the object can be observed. Due to the decay of the evanescent waves, only a small region near the contact point between the thin object and the microsphere is effective for producing the super resolution effects. The image with super-resolution can be increased by a movement of the microsphere over the object or by using arrays of microspheres. Both propagating and evanescent waves arrive at the inner surface of the microsphere. A coupling between the transmitted EM waves and resonances produced in the dielectric sphere, possibly obtained by the Mie method, leads to a product of the EM distribution function with the transfer function. While this transfer function might be calculated by the Mie method, it is also possible to use it as an experimental function. By Fourier transform of the above product, we get convolution between the EM spatial modes and those of the transfer function arriving at the nano-jet, which leads the evanescent waves to become propagating waves with effective very small wavelengths and thus increase the resolution.

Modelling the Acoustic Properties of Baffles Made of Porous and Fibrous Materials
Authors: Kosała Krzysztof
Published: July 2024

The research described in the article addresses the problem of measurement, prediction and practical use of the acoustic properties of materials determined in an impedance tube. The aim of the research was to develop a simple calculation model for the insertion loss of small machinery enclosures, based on the normal incidence sound transmission loss and the normal incidence sound absorption coefficient of porous and fibrous materials. Both experimental and model tests were carried out on materials such as mineral wool, melamine foam and rebonded polyurethane foam. Assessing the absorption properties of the tested porous and fibrous materials was performed using selected theoretical models, relating the calculations of the normal incidence sound absorption coefficient to measurements of this parameter conducted using an impedance tube. The application of the modified Allard and Champoux model brought the best results with the smallest discrepancies of the obtained results in relation to the experimental tests. Assessing the sound-insulating properties of the tested mineral wool was carried out using the proposed calculation model for the normal incidence sound transmission loss, relating the obtained results to measurements conducted using an impedance tube. The assessment of the sound-insulating properties of porous and fibrous materials was performed using the proposed calculation model for insertion loss, which was validated using two prototype test stands for determining the insertion loss of cubic enclosures, in this case with walls made of porous and fibrous materials. Satisfactory results were obtained for engineering applications in the calculation results using the proposed models with respect to measurements. The results may have practical applications in assessing the effectiveness of acoustic enclosures, in which the basic construction material is an appropriate porous or fibrous plate, selected to have both sound-absorbing and sound-insulating properties.
Study on the Impact of Drainage Noise in Residential Bathrooms Based on Finite Element Simulation
Authors: Wang Yaping , Deng Xin , Chi Bingyuan , Cui Yanqiu
Published: July 2024

Residential bathroom drainage noise is a primary source of indoor noise that directly affects quality of life and physical and mental health. Therefore, based on the acoustic theory and the finite element simulation technology, this paper proposes a method to simulate the drainage noise characteristics and its impact range jointly using the flow and acoustic fields. The pressure at the pipe wall caused by the internal flow field of the bathroom drainage pipe is calculated by the Fluent software. Simulations are carried out with the Virtual Lab software to predict the drainage noise characteristics and spatial distribution and to analyse the influence of factors such as the door position, riser position, and the partition wall material on the noise distribution. The results show that drainage noise has prominent high-frequency characteristics, the position of the bathroom drainage pipes and doors affects the spatial noise distribution, and the sound insulation performance of a par- tition wall with ordinary fired bricks in the bathroom is slightly better than that of ordinary concrete bricks, lightweight aggregate concrete blocks or fly ash blocks. This paper provides a theoretical basis and practical reference for reducing the impact of residential drainage noise and creating a healthy and comfortable indoor acoustic environment.
Influence of Ultrasonic Cavitation on Botryococcus Braunii Growth
Authors: Salaeh Asleena
Published: July 2024

This study investigates ultrasonic energy’s impact on enhancing the growth of Botryococcus braunii (B. braunii) microalgae. Microalgae, known for their advantages in greenhouse gas mitigation and biomass conversion, were subjected to various stressors, including ultrasonic waves, to optimize productivity. Ultrasonic waves induce acoustic cavitation, increasing membrane permeability and substrate conversion. The study examined the impact of energy and maximum pressure resulting from bubble collapse on the relative specific growth rate of B. braunii microalgae. It was observed that reproduction showed a promotive trend until the energy surpassed 30 kJ. However, when ultrasonic energy reached 18.2 kJ, reproduction was inhibited due to the maximum pressure generated during bubble bursting, which reached 5.7 µN/µm2, leading to the suppression of reproduction upon encountering bubble collapse events. Under specific ultrasonic conditions (15.1 kJ energy, maximum pressure of 45.5 × 105 Pa), a maximum specific growth rate of 0.329 ± 0.020 day−1 in a two-day interval boosted B. braunii microalgae biomass productivity. These findings advance our understanding of ultrasonic wave effects on microalgae reproduction and underscore the potential for optimizing ultrasonic parameters to enhance biomass production.

Impinging jets are one of the most effective techniques of heat transfer intensification, therefore they are continuously applied in various engineering areas. On the other hand, a numerical modelling of complex phenomena contributing to an overall heat transfer effect (and the Nusselt number value) is still not sufficient and suffers from lack of generalization. The extensive studies have been conducted to unify approach to the impinging jet modelling and construct the model (in Ansys Fluent software), which allows mirroring of the results. Presented work discusses differences in representation of impinging jet between various turbulence models based on the turbulence kinetic energy, momentum and energy budgets. It allows deep understanding of influence of geometrical and flow parameters on fluid mechanics phenomena interaction and final effect. The most significant results are connected with linking of Nusselt number distribution with analyzed budgets’ terms. Each term contributes to the distribution and cannot be omitted. Drawn conclusions explain the origin of reported in litera-ture differences and includes suggestions, how to evaluate the Nusselt number distribution results coming from various turbulence models. At this stage of research to have a complete image of relation between the particular quantities budgets and heat transfer effect it is suggested to consider also the turbulence kinetic energy dissipation budget, which will fil opened by this research gap.

Published: July 2024

The melting and solidification processes of the organic phase change material – lauric acid exposed to air were experi-mentally studied to investigate the heat exchange and its effect on the heat transfer behaviour inside a shell as well as its phase-change characteristics. Lauric acid was placed in spherical shells made of polyvinyl chloride with diameters of 44, 63, and 74 mm. This study was based on analyses of the surface temperature and vertical temperature distribution data inside the shells. We found that the phase change characteristics were strongly related to the dominant heat transfer mech-anism. In this case, melting was dominated by convection, whereas solidification was dominated by conduction. The convection intensity increased as the shell diameter increased. Further analysis revealed the melting and solidification periods. In contrast to latent heat release accompanying solidification, latent heat absorption accompanied by melting does not occur at a constant temperature, although it has a smaller temperature gradient than does sensible heat absorption. Based on the asymmetry between the melting and solidification processes, we discuss various possible strategies by which to control the charging and discharging of the phase change material by restraining the heat transfer rate to optimise its performance as a latent thermal energy storage material.

In this study, an irreversible thermodynamic model for the high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell taking electrochemical and heat losses into account is developed. The power density, exergy destruction index, exergy sustainability index and ecological coefficient of performance is derived. The model was validated against experimental data. The influence of parameters on the irreversible thermodynamic performance of high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell are considered. The multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm is utilized to optimize the power, ecological coeffi-cient of performance and efficiency. The population distribution of the optimization variables was analyzed using a three-dimensional Pareto frontier analysis, and results show that the maximum power density, maximum efficiency and maximum ecological coefficient of performance being 6340 W/m2, 64.5% and 1.723 respectively, which are 43.28%, 3.7% and 17.8% higher than the preoptimized high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell. Moreover, the nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II and simulated annealing algorithm have been chosen versus multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm for making the optimization comparative analysis.
Integrating PEM fuel cell control with building heating systems: A comprehensive thermal and control model analysis
Authors: Matysko Robert
Published: July 2024

In the paper, a model of a heated building using a PEM (proton exchange membrane) fuel cell is presented. This work introduces a novel and more comprehensive depiction of the thermal processes occurring within a fuel cell under transient conditions. The developed PEM fuel cell model was synergistically incorporated with a thermodynamic model of a build-ing. The resulting mathematical framework provides insights into the building's performance concerning fluctuating am-bient temperatures and the heating system powered by the PEM cell. The developed mathematical model delineates the interplay between the building's thermodynamics and the fuel cell in the context of the devised heating control system featuring an indirect heat distribution mechanism.
The Use of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate and Biodentine in Furcal Perforations Sealing – A Review Article
Authors: Pietrzycka Krystyna
Published: July 2024

Pulp cavity perforation is defined as pathological connection between root canal system and external surface of the tooth. This iatrogenic pulp chamber injury may have serious implications on the success of root canal treatment. The sealing of perforation is crucial for good prognosis of the treated tooth. The ideal material for sealing perforations in the pulp cavity should be characterized by a good adhesion, lack of sensitivity to tissue fluids, volume stability, radiopacity on radiographs and excellent bioactivity and biocompatibility. To date the most well -known bioceramic material to is mineral trioxide aggregate. Due to over thirty years of its application in endodontics, it is called the „gold standard” for perforation repair. Recently, many new bioceramic materials have been developed and introduced to dentistry and endodontics, showing promising clinical results. One of the materials successfully used for pulp chamber floor perforation repair is Biodentine. According to the manufacturers, Biodentine has a much shorter setting time compared to other bioceramic cements, and also has better mechanical properties and is easier to use. The aim of the article is to analyse the available research and compare the properties of those bioceramic materials in a perforation sealing procedure. Based on the analysis of the current literature, it can be concluded that mineral trioxide aggregate is still the most proven and tested material among bioceramic materials, but Biodentine is a good alternative as it is relatively easy to manipulate but also has predictable clinical results.

The Economic and Social Impact of Sport in Local Communities
Authors: MĂNESCU Cătălin Octavian ,   Bucharest University of Economic Studies
Published: July 2024

Through its socio-cultural dimensions, sport offers a unique opportunity to get to know other people, to communicate with them, to take on different responsibilities, to acquire moral attitudes (for example, tolerance, respect for fellow human beings, etc.), to accept behaviours linked to the activity (which contributes to personality development), to experience emotions that are more difficult to feel in other spheres of life, accept positive lifestyle elements (e.g., those linked to diet, rest, etc.), to adapt to the objective being pursued (through cooperation, cohesion, etc.) and become more active in society, stimulated by the performances of others. The factors that lead to the consolidation of the economy of a region or a community are presented, by giving the example of large scale events organised, where sports infrastructures are built, local and international tourism is stimulated, substantial financial resources are generated from television rights, sponsorship, entry fees, licences (advertising), stamp and coin issues, etc, and, at the same time, large numbers of people are mobilised to support these events. Sport has become a huge economic enterprise which, if properly managed, can bring consistent benefits at both micro-economic (club, city, region) and macro-economic (a country's entire economy) levels.

Sports competitions represent not only a form of physical expression and performance but also a field of intense intercultural interaction. When athletes, officials, and fans from different countries come together, a complex panorama of cultural exchange emerges. Sports competitions highlight not only athletic performance and competition but also facilitate dialogue and understanding among the cultures of the participating countries. Teams from regional/territorial or participating countries in competitions bring together athletes from diverse cultural backgrounds, making the management of cultural differences crucial for effective communication during games, training, and competitions. By supporting and encouraging dialogue and respect among athletes /nations/cultures, competitions become bridges between cultures, nations, and races. Interethnic Education is crucial as it fosters discourse among pupils hailing from various nations, ethnicities, and faiths, thereby enriching sustainable and inclusive communities.

The area, especially in Ogan Ilir Regency, especially Pipa Putih Village, has been chosen as a focus for reducing the stunting rate, which in 2022 will reach 24.9%. One of the factors that has been identified as a cause of stunting is an unclean environment, this is in line with previous research which emphasizes the importance of PHBS. The research method used was a quasi-experiment with one group as the research subject. The snakes and ladders game was chosen as an intervention tool to increase teenagers' understanding and attitudes towards PHBS. The study results showed a significant increase in adolescents' understanding after the intervention, although not statistically significant in attitudes. The snakes and ladders game is recognized as an effective tool in increasing teenagers' knowledge about PHBS, in line with the efforts of the government and related institutions to improve public health. The use of games as a medium in health education promises to make learning more enjoyable and increase learning motivation. It is hoped that this research can become a basis for developing a wider intervention program to improve PHBS in society, especially in groups of teenagers who have the potential to be agents of change.

Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT
Elderly individuals are considered more vulnerable to experiencing dementia due to the various changes they undergo in life, one of which is marriage. Certain marriage status may have a higher likelihood and risk of being associated with dementia. This research aims to provide a description of characteristics and identify the relationship between marriage and dementia among elderly at the Wreda Sejahtera Association (PWS) in Denpasar. This study employed a cross-sectional analytic design. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews and with MoCA-INA to evaluate characteristics and incidence of dementia among 88 elderly. Data were then analyzed using univariate and bivariate, and multivariate analysis. Of the 88 elderly, 9.1% had dementia where the majority were not with a partner (widow/widower). There was an association between dementia with marital status (p=0.000) and education (p=0.034). The risk of elderly with dementia is three times higher in widows/widowers than those who are still with their spouses. Odd ratio (OR) of elderly widow/widower was 30.608 (95%CI= 2.451-38.264). Marital status and age are risk factors contributing to the occurrence of dementia. Being unmarried or widowed/divorced can increase the likelihood of experiencing dementia, with this likelihood increasing as age advances. Preventive measures of dementia should be done as early as possible for divorced or unmarried people.

Authors: KEFENG Yuan
Published: July 2024

Subject. The article considers features of the second stage (since 2000) of the reform and opening-up policy implementation in China, specifically, household income, expenditure, and investment decisions.
Objectives. The focus is on the analysis of problems relevant to Chinese households, like population aging, rapid pace of digital transformation of the economy, and on the assessment of the impact of China's foreign policy on living standards.
Methods. The study draws on methods of statistical analysis.
Results. The study shows that measures aimed at changing the way households are registered in urban and rural areas, the higher education reform, large-scale marketization of medical care, commercialization of housing construction, and China's accession to the World Trade Organization have provided Chinese households not only with unprecedented dividends, but also with potential risks and opportunities. The key risk is the accelerated aging of the population, which requires households to spend additional money on elderly relatives.
Conclusions. To maximize the impact of the reform and opening-up policies, it is important to focus both on minimizing the risks caused by population ageing and on the prospects for digital transformation, which significantly affect household budget decisions. Based on foreign experience and considering the national conditions, it is necessary to develop a system for improving digital literacy for the entire population.
