Authors: Le Thao N. , Kong Sera , Kalani Shawn Patrick , Keaulani Bruce , Lum Kehaulani
Published: December 2023

Abstract: Place-based education that incorporates traditional ecological knowledge is a potential source of psychological and emotional well-being for indigenous youth. Our research explores the connection between place-based cultural education and well-being among Native Hawaiian youth as they engage in restoring a royal Native Hawaiian fishpond, Loko Iʻa Pāʻaiau. We collected data from ten Native Hawaiian high school participants over six months including survey measures, pre- and post-on emotions and values after each weekly session at the fishpond, as well as pre-and post- focus group sessions. The quantitative data revealed gains in positive emotions and mental states, with happiness and focus being the most salient. Phenomenological coding of the qualitative results revealed five overarching themes in the values-emotion interface: 1) valuing the importance of Pāʻaiau; 2) valuing kuleana (reciprocal responsibility) and feeling a sense of accomplishment; 3) valuing sacred land and cultivating humility; 4) valuing and strengthening 'ohana (family) and feeling sense of belonging; and 5) valuing Pāʻaiau as a healing place and feeling peaceful and happy. Findings support providing Indigenous youth, especially Native Hawaiians, with place-based traditional ecological knowledge and biocultural opportunities to promote well-being, character, and identity development.
Blurring Boundaries and Realizing Just Potential: How Diverse California Schools Enact Sustainability-in-Place
Authors: Derr Victoria , Glines Red , Molinelli-Ruberto Cristan
Published: December 2023

Abstract: Green schools can reduce negative environmental impacts, promote positive human and ecological health and wellbeing, and promote learning and action competencies for local and global sustainability. This research sought to understand how sustainability practices take shape and unfold in historically excluded schools in California that had received sustainability awards. Using a multiple case study approach, this research highlights ways schools extended their educational practices into three domains of a sustainability-in-place model—community, compassion, and creativity—and also explores barriers to implementing these practices. Some teachers distinguished ideas of care and compassion for student wellbeing as distinct from the practice of sustainability, highlighting the persistence of mainstream, historical framing of sustainability systems. Research implications address opportunities to expand and strengthen green school research and practice.
Wealth-based inequity in full child vaccination coverage: An experience from Mali, Bangladesh, and South Africa. A multilevel poison regression
Authors: Birhanu Frehiwot , Yitbarek Kiddus
Published: December 2023

Objectives

Every child around the globe should get routine childhood vaccination, which is mostly affected by the country’s economic capacity besides the socioeconomic differences. However, how well countries with different economic capacities address equitable child vaccination remains unanswered.

Methods

Cross-sectional data from the latest Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) database of Mali, Bangladesh, and South Africa was used for this study. The dependent variable was full child vaccination, and wealth-based inequality was assessed using rate-ratio, concentration curve, and concentration index. A multilevel Poisson regression analysis was used to determine the predictors of inequalities. A risk ratio (RR) with a p-value of 0.05 was used to declare statistical significance. All analysis was weighted.

Results

Full child vaccination status was 30.15%, 62.18%, and 46.94% in Mali, Bangladesh, and South Africa respectively. Even if the disparity is higher in Mali, the full vaccination favors the better-off family both in Mali, and Bangladesh respectively [CInd: 0.05, 95% CI: 0.01, 0.09], [CInd: 0.02, 95% CI: 0.001, 0.03], wealth status did not have an effect in South Africa. The multilevel poison regression indicated maternal age, occupation, wealth of household, and frequency of watching television to positively affect full vaccination, whereas the number of children in the house negatively affected full vaccination.

Conclusion

Wealth-based inequality in child vaccination was higher in Mali followed by Bangladesh. There was no observable significant equity gap in South Africa. Wealth status, maternal occupation, maternal age, frequency of watching television, and number of children were predictors of full child vaccination.
Comparing the effectiveness of mother-focused interventions to that of mother-child focused interventions in improving maternal postpartum depression outcomes: A systematic review
Authors: Kumar Divya , Hameed Waqas , Avan Bilal Iqbal
Published: December 2023

Background

Most empirically researched interventions for postpartum depression (PPD) tend to target mothers’ depression alone. Harmful effects of PPD on physical and mental health of both mother and child has led researchers to investigate the impact of interventions on PPD and child outcomes together. So far, the evidence is limited regarding how these interventions compare with those focusing only on mothers’ depression. This review compares the effectiveness of PPD-improving interventions focusing only on mothers with those focusing on mother and child together.

Methods

Nine electronic databases were searched. Thirty-seven studies evaluating mother-focused (n = 30) and mother-child focused interventions (n = 7) were included. Under each category, three theoretical approaches—psychological, psychosocial and mixed—were compared using standardized qualitative procedures. The review’s primary outcome was maternal PPD.

Results

A higher proportion of mother-focussed interventions [20/30 (66.7%)] brought significant reduction in PPD outcomes as compared to a lower proportion of mother-child focused interventions [4/7 (57.14%)]. Mother-focused mixed approaches [3/3 (100%)] performed better in improving PPD than psychological [16/24 (67%)] or psychosocial approaches [1/3 (33.3%)] alone. Amongst mother-child focused interventions, psychosocial approaches performed well with two-thirds demonstrating positive effects on PPD.

Conclusion

The evidence strongly favors mother-focused interventions for improving PPD with mixed interventions being more effective. Psychosocial approaches performed better with PPD once child-related elements were added, and also seemed best for child outcomes. Psychological approaches were most practiced and effective for PPD, irrespective of the intervention’s focus. Further trials are needed to unpack intervention components that improve PPD and increase uptake, especially in lower-and middle-income countries.

Cooperativismo y digitalización laboral en Cuba: realidad, retos y perspectivas
Authors: Menoya Zayas Sandys
Published: December 2023

El dilema planteado entre las urgencias del desarrollo, la competencia y la rentabilidad empresarial, de un lado; y la necesidad de evitar vacíos de justicia, garantizar la protección social de los trabajadores, así como respetar los derechos humanos, impacta en el mundo del cooperativismo, cuya identidad histórica se ha basado en la solidaridad, y demanda la atención del Derecho del Trabajo ante la posible pérdida de la esencia social del modelo cooperativo. En el caso cubano, los desafíos son enormes: desde la necesidad de desarrollar las infraestructuras que soporten la transformación digital para todo tipo de empresas, incluidas las cooperativas; pasando por un replanteamiento del propio modelo cooperativo existente, hasta el establecimiento de cursos de acción en la gestión tanto pública como privada del sector cooperativo. De ahí que este trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar los retos y perspectivas de la digitalización laboral en el sector cooperativo cubano.

Authors: Morejón Cabrera Gabriela Estefanía , González Fuenmayor Silvia Paola
Published: December 2023

En el contexto de la economía popular (EP) y la economía popular y solidaria (EPS), esta investigación aborda, de forma proyectiva jurídico-social, la pertinencia de vincular este sector de la economía con la mejora gradual de la calidad de vida de las personas con discapacidad intelectual en Ecuador. Esto, mediante la generación de una cooperativa de servicios que ofrezca actividades duras y blandas que permitan la inserción laboral de personas con este tipo de discapacidad y la generación de sinergias en la sociedad. Esto contribuiría a la reducción de prejuicios sociales referentes a las actividades que pueden, o no, realizar las personas con discapacidad de tipo intelectual. Se concluye que, en el caso ecuatoriano, es pertinente la creación de una cooperativa de este tipo puesto que la Ley lo permite y los principios que rigen la EPS impulsan su actividad.

Challenging the Notion that “Refugees Belong in Camps”. Alternative Settlement for Migrants. The Case Study of Ecuador
Authors: Fierro Álvarez-Ossorio Blanca
Published: December 2023

In the last decades, the migration phenomenon has become one of the greatest humanitarian crises. The generalized solution by the international community has been the reception in refugee camps as a temporary solution to the displacement. Nonetheless, conflicts are frequently prolonged in time and migrants are stagnated in protracted situations. The objective of this project is to explore alternatives to refugee camps, namely, the reception of migrants in cities. The project is centered around the idea that this strategy will not only be beneficial for the migrants, who will be able to break the dependency built in the camps, but also for the development of the economies of the host countries, by creating more employment, generating a more competitive market, and promoting the development of the infrastructures of the cities. This is going to be studied from the perspective of Ecuador, the country of Latin America that hosts more refugees and migrants, without the establishment of camps.
INVESTIGATION OF THE POSSIBILITY OF REDUCING ENERGY COSTS DURING LASER SCRIBING OF GLASS AND CERAMIC PLATES
Authors: Kovalenko A. F.
Published: December 2023

In the framework of the one-dimensional problem of evaporation of the absorbing layer of the material with the “instantaneous” release of laser pulse energy, the possibility of reducing energy costs when scribing glass and ceramic plates is investigated. A method of scribing is proposed, in which the laser radiation released through the back surface of the plate is returned to the plate using a mirror with a reflection coefficient of ~ 99 %. Optimal modes of plate scribing have been determined. It is shown that with deep scribing, it is possible to reduce energy costs by 1.4 – 1.8 times compared to traditional laser scribing. When the depth of the scribing groove is less than 0.3 of the plate thickness, the use of the considered method is impractical due to the insignificance of the positive effect.

Authors: Ibragimov N. Yu. , Ibragimli E. N.
Published: December 2023

An experimental study of the thermal conductivity coefficient of glass coatings of pipes has been carried out. A device for experimental study of the thermal conductivity of the glass-coating of the pipe has been developed. To a greater extent than the composition, the thermal conductivity of glass depends on the temperature. It has been established that the thermal conductivity of the glass coating increases by several tenths of a watt with an increase in temperature up to 600 ?C. Studies have shown that an increase in the temperature of a glass coating leads to a slight improvement in its thermal conductivity. The highest thermal conductivity is possessed by a coating made of glass of the S-89 and S-52-1 brands. These grades of glass are recommended for pipelines operating at elevated temperatures of heat transfer fluids.

Authors: Israil L. I.
Published: December 2023

The primary goal of this research is to determine the mechanical properties of opaque glazed ceramic tiles containing fly ash, tincal waste, and recycled red clay, including to assess if the results meet international requirements.
Opaque glaze and tincal waste were the main components of all glaze compositions of four groups, which were named OG (original), FA (fly ash), RC (red clay), and FC (mixture) according to the additive. The ceramic tiles were prepared by dipping the biscuits in the glaze composition and firing them at 1150 ?C.
The water absorption of the FA, RC, and FC tiles was less than that of the OG tiles (< 0.52 %) and the scratch hardness values were between 6 and 7. All the experimental groups were also resistant to thermal shock, chemicals, and staining showing high opacity (L* > 92) and having a light yellow-red color.
The micro- and crystallographic structure of some selected tiles were determined by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques. Zircon, diopside and augite phases were recognized.

Authors: Li Cheng , Naeem Abid , Shen Jiangwen , Zha Weiwei , Zeng Qingyun , Zhang Peng , Li Lin , Liao Zhenggen , Chen Xulong
Published: December 2023

Curcumin is an isolated phytopolyphenol pigment found in the Curcuma longa, commonly known as turmeric, with various pharmacological properties. It has many effects, including anti-tumour, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-oxidation, and hypoglycemic properties. However, due to its oral bioavailability, the use of the drug in the clinical environment is limited. Moreover, curcumin’s low bioavailability is attributed to its insoluble nature, poor permeability, and inhibition of P-glycoprotein efflux and enzyme metabolism. Several new dosage forms of curcumin have been developed based on its physical properties to improve oral administration. However, the curcumin oral administration system still needs to be improved from the perspective of both research and clinical applications.

Authors: Liu Xuefang , Qiu Youyan , Chen Dandan , Xiong Jingni , Xia Biwen , Chen Caiqin , Li Suyan
Published: December 2023

The association of thyroid hormone antibodies and glycolipid metabolism indicators with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was explored. As the disease worsens, the levels of thyroglobulin antibody (TGAb), thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) was increased, and the levels of total tri-iodothyronine (TT3) and total thyroxine (TT4) was decreased (P < 0.001). The severe, medium, and light group had higher level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), lower level of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), triacylglycerol (TAG), and fasting blood sugar (FBG) than the control group (P ＜ 0.05). The level of HDL was lower in the severe group than the light group and the medium group, but the levels of TC, LDL, HbA1c, TAG, and FBG were increased with the progress of T2DM (P ＜ 0.001). The levels of TGAb, TPOAb, and TSH in patients with T2DM were positively correlated with the levels of TC, LDL, HbA1c, TAG, and FBG (P < 0.05), and were negatively correlated with HDL levels (P < 0.05). The life quality score was lower in the severe group than the light and the medium group (P < 0.001). Among the above indicators, the predictive value of TT3, TT4, and HbA1c in T2DM was better. Clinically, detecting the levels of thyroid hormone antibodies and glycolipid metabolism indicators had a certain predictive value for the severity of T2DM.

Main findings: The results of this study found that the thyroid hormone antibody and glycolipid metabolism levels in T2DM patients were abnormal, and had different degrees of impact on the quality of life of patients. Thus, monitoring these indicators had certain predictive value for the severity of the disease, and also had a certain degree of suggestive effect on the evaluation of diabetic vascular complications. Clinically, attention should be paid to the screening of thyroid disease in diabetic patients, and the assessment and prognosis of thyroid function on diabetes, the control of diabetes, and the prevention and treatment of complications have important clinical significance.
Introduction to Lexical constraints in grammar: Minority verb classes and restricted alternations
Authors: Walker Katherine , Faghiri Pegah
Published: December 2023

This is an introduction to the Special Issue Lexical constraints in grammar: Minority verb classes and restricted alternations. In many languages, grammatical relations are subject to lexical constraints. These constraints can be manifested in different morphosyntactic domains, for instance, through deviation from canonical case frames or different argument indexation patterns. Other constructions that have been studied through this lens are voice and valency constructions and some clause-combining constructions. The types of oppositions established by lexical constraints vary: some absolute restrictions entail the obligatory presence or absence of a grammatical marker, while others entail the ability of a lexical item to alternate. In the latter instance, differences in the statistical preferences for one construction over another may be observed. In some cases, verb classes can be easily identified based on a common semantic feature; however, various other factors can also lead to the formation of minority verb classes and restrictions on alternations. This article introduces a collection of four articles investigating lexical constraints in a variety of morphosyntactic domains, adopting different perspectives and methodologies. It sets out a framework for considering different opposition types formed by the differing behaviour of different verb classes and outlines a number of different factors that motivate the formation of verb classes. This introductory article shows that lexical constraints provide fertile ground for typologists adopting a token-based approach seeking to compare languages at ever-greater levels of specification.

Finding analytical solutions for nonlinear partial differential equations is physically meaningful. The Kaup-Kupershmidt (KK) equation is studied in this article. The KK equation is of fifth order, such that several solitary solutions are obtained. In this article, however, the modified auxiliary function approach is applied to this model to find solitary solutions. These solutions are written in terms of Jacobi functions. Therefore, the obtained solutions can be implemented graphically to show different patterns for appropriate parameters.
„jutalmát adom fáradtságuknak”

Th e focus of this study is on the retirement of officers of large estates and pension regulations. The pensions have increasingly become part of the career path and employer commitment. At the same time, pensions provided an economic incentive for officers to stay in offi ce, on the other hand, ensured their loyalty to the landlords and their lifelong service. The social side of these measures is also evident, as they imply the provision of care for officers in case of illness or old age. In fact, the insurance also extended to the families of officers, as financial support was available to their surviving widows and orphans, even as the provisions became tighter and more restrictive. I based my analysis on the pension regulations issued by the Károlyi family at different times, and then analysed the evolution of pension payments on the basis of the family’s joint treasury statements. It is clear that the maintenance and payment of pensions was, if not the largest, then a signifi cant investment for the estate government. In later years, the landlords tightened the scope of eligibility precisely on the basis of the size of this expense, until by the second half of the 19th century the landlord had created a pension fund, obliging officers to contribute. Further afield, the employment relationship between large landowners and officers was now a regulated model between worker and employer, established and maintained by the estate government under private law.

The study aims to introduce the steps of creating a database based on historical nominal sources. Two individual level census materials (from 1857 and 1869) and an online genealogy based on vital registers were linked in case of Bonyhád. While the censuses provide a particularized but static picture of the population, creating a database with linking them to the genealogical records offers a dynamic analysis on a broader spectrum
The Architecture of the mind: A Psychodynamic Case Study of Dissociated Selves
Authors: Flórez Daniel Moreno
Published: December 2023

The author seeks to explore the development and treatment of dissociative symptoms emerging in a 17-year-old nonbinary individual throughout two inpatient psychiatric hospitalizations. The patient endorsed the presence of multiple selves that remained connected with reality and internally with each other, emphasizing their existence in spatial allocations within the patient's mind both while dreaming and in waking life. The author highlights the therapeutic space as an opportunity to allow the interaction between dissociated selves surging from violent childhood experiences in hopes of allowing the integration of the fragmented parts of the main self. The roles of dreamwork, creative expressions, and language will be highlighted as essential components that allowed symbolization for a bicultural, bilingual individual who recently immigrated to the United States. Treatment was conducted within the limitations and particularities of inpatient psychiatric treatment, restricting treatment to a preliminary phase of exploration and containment.
Resisting Heteronormative Traditions to Stage the Possible
Authors: Yanko Matthew , Lee Henry
Published: December 2023

Concerned with the heteronormative nature of education, we engage with queer theory and pedagogy to destabilize heteronormative constructs. Guided by arts-based educational research (ABER) and ethnodramatic practices, we stage the lived teaching experiences of educators who challenge heteronormativity while preparing their students for an elementary school musical production. We discover that creating opportunities for students to delve into varied costumes, themes, and characters can strengthen or transform their self-perception, and can embolden them to uncover facets of their identity. Moreover, our inquiry demonstrates how queering curriculum and pedagogy can provide more inclusive opportunities for all students as they engage in arts learning experiences.
Un’iscrizione inedita ed alcune note di topografia antica di Preko sull'isola di Ugljan
Authors: Maletić Božana , Pola Matteo
Published: December 2023

L’isola di Ugljan ha restituito le tracce di un importante passato, collegabile direttamente allo sviluppo del vicino centro urbano di Zara. Di primaria importanza risultano i resti della centuriazione, riconosciuti su tutta l’isola, e di diverse realtà insediative di tipo residenziale/produttivo di età romana (villae rusticae), tra cui spicca l’esempio ben noto di Muline. Un notevole complesso a carattere residenziale è stato individuato anche nell’abitato di Preko, con fasi di frequentazione dal II secolo fino ad inizi VI secolo.
Durante un recente sopralluogo al cimitero della chiesa della Madonna del Rosario in Preko è stata individuata un’epigrafe funeraria inedita di età romana. Nel presente contributo si fornisce una prima edizione dell’iscrizione ed una sua contestualizzazione all’interno del panorama storico e archeologico dell’isola. La nuova epigrafe, per caratteri formali e formulario, può essere inquadrata cronologicamente tra la fine I secolo e la prima metà del II secolo. Nello stesso cimitero si conserva un grande sarcofago con coperchio a spioventi, databile all’età tardoantica, che insieme ad un capitellino ad imposta con croce incisa reimpiegato nella facciata della chiesa odierna, suggerisce una probabile presenza di un precedente edificio di culto paleocristiano nell’area. A questa prima chiesa può essere riferito l’agiotoponimo di S. Andrea, che designava la zona fino alla prima età moderna. In facciata, la chiesa della Madonna del Rosario, le cui forme attuali risalgono al Settecento, presenta anche un importante rilievo di età romana, riutilizzato come architrave. L’insieme di questi elementi permette di intravedere un trend di spiccata continuità di occupazione dell’area di Preko dall’età romana fino ai giorni nostri, con un’importante fase di età tardoantica.
On The Possibility of Locating the Grave of Pjetër Bogdani Historical Context and the Mystery of the Tomb of Pjetër Bogdani (ca. 1630 - 1689)
Authors: Gashi Luan , Namani Qazim
Published: December 2023

In this paper (based on processed cranium fragments) the authors posit that the remains in question may be those of Archbishop Petar Bogdani. Special attention is paid to the general overview of the political situation in the territory of what is present-day Kosovo in the late Middle Ages, where (due to riots and political transition during the Ottoman occupation) persons appeared on the political scene who influenced the formation of a modern ideology. This undoubtedly influenced the consciousness of the population and left traces that, depending on the geopoltical context, do not differ all that greatly from the situation in 20th century Kosovo. The story of Pjetër Bogdani and the mystery of his tomb, presented briefly in this article, should be considered as catalyst for arousing academic research inside and outside of the country—especially for archivists
«Que la tierra te sea en plan leve»: estereotipos, comunidades lingüísticas y virtualidad en la partícula modalizadora «en plan»
Authors: Piedehierro Sáez Carlota
Published: December 2023

La partícula en plan ha sido objeto de numerosos estudios en los últimos años, fruto de su uso masivo en el lenguaje juvenil y de una fulgurante evolución experimentada en las últimas décadas. La literatura ha dado cuenta de cómo la expresión ha pasado de utilizarse como una locución adverbial adyacente de un adjetivo a adquirir valores discursivos muy dispares: como reformulador, ejemplificador, focalizador, atenuador, marcador de cita o muletilla, entre otros. Sin embargo, ninguno de los trabajos dedicados a la expresión ha tratado de proponer un modelo de análisis unitario que pueda explicar todos estos valores; asimismo, ninguno de esos trabajos ha tratado de analizar la expresión desde el enfoque de la pragmática integrada heredera de los estudios de Anscombre y Ducrot e introducida en el ámbito hispánico gracias a los trabajos del profesor José Portolés. Con este doble objetivo metodológico y teórico, el presente estudio propone un análisis de corte instruccional donde se presenta un modelo unitario de descripción del funcionamiento de la expresión en plan en el discurso del español contemporáneo.
«Fuerte como una carrasca, alto como la flor del espligo»: fitónimos orientales en el español
Authors: Fernández-Ordóñez Inés
Published: December 2023

Este trabajo estudia y cartografía las denominaciones de la encina (Quercus ilex) y del espliego (Lavandula angustifolia) en las lenguas iberorromances a partir de los datos del Atlas lingüístico de la Península Ibérica, complementados con los atlas regionales y los corpus históricos. Se discute y propone una nueva etimología para la voz encina, y se identifican y localizan geográficamente los diferentes significados del término carrasca. Por otro, se analizan las variantes derivadas de sp?c?lu y se discute su génesis histórica, así como las formas dependientes del arabismo hispánico alxuzáma ‘alhucema’. Los resultados confirman que soluciones aragonesas se extendieron por todo el oriente castellano (y mediodía catalán), y que el sur-occidente castellano y Portugal, pese a la frontera política, compartieron innovaciones lingüísticas.
La influencia de la pornografía en la construcción subjetiva del deseo sexual: una mirada interseccional
Authors: Muñoz Sánchez Sandra , Polo Usaola Cristina , García Dauder Dau
Published: December 2023

Este artículo se enmarca dentro de una tesis doctoral que trata de explorar, desde una perspectiva de género e interseccional, los elementos implicados en la construcción subjetiva del deseo sexual. Partiendo de que la pornografía se constituye en la actualidad como uno de los principales referentes en el aprendizaje de la sexualidad, en este trabajo se ha analizado cómo el consumo de pornografía puede influir en la experimentación de deseo sexual atendiendo a diferentes componentes identitarios que modulan la aproximación a la misma. Para ello, se ha llevado a cabo una investigación cualitativa, realizando doce entrevistas en profundidad y un grupo de discusión, con una muestra conformada por personas de edades, clase social, raza y orientaciones sexuales diversas. El análisis de los relatos en primera persona nos ha permitido explorar conflictos identitarios y la posibilidad de ejercer o sufrir comportamientos sexuales violentos que podrían asociarse al visionado de pornografía. Conclusión: En nuestro trabajo observamos que el consumo de pornografía estaría más extendido entre los hombres heterosexuales participantes, teniendo cada vez más las mujeres de la muestra esta herramienta como referente. A su vez, las prácticas sexuales de contenido violento estarían cobrando relevancia entre las personas más jóvenes participantes, quedando en un segundo plano la satisfacción del deseo femenino. Los conflictos y malestares asociados a la pornografía se han detectado mayoritariamente en las mujeres participantes, donde la adopción de lugares de sumisión en las prácticas sexo-afectivas parece derivarse de los marcos de referencia de aprendizaje sexual -incluyendo la pornografía-. Sin embargo, en el marco no heteronormativo, el consumo de pornografía influiría en menor medida en las prácticas sexuales elegidas, ocupando el deseo significados más alejados de la sexualidad hegemónica trasmitida a través del porno.
Peculiarities of a Rarely Used Method of Measuring the Speech Transmission Index in Premises
Authors: Prodeus Arkadiy , Naida Anton , Dvornyk Oleksandr , Didkovska Maryna
Published: December 2023

Evaluation of speech transmission index (STI) in premises allows for determining the speech intelligibility, and therefore the suitability of premises for speech communication. STI measurements using the speech transmission index for telecommunication systems (STITEL) method are rarely performed in rooms, possibly due to insufficient information on the accuracy of this method. In this paper, computer simulations were used to estimate the STI estimation errors by the STITEL method under conditions of noise and reverberation. The pink noise model and the room impulse response estimate of a real room with a reverberation time T60=0.8 s were used for the research. The duration of the test signals varied between 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 seconds, and the signal-to-noise ratio varied from minus 28 dB to plus 28 dB. The dependences of the bias, standard deviation, and total error of the STI estimate on the duration of the test signal and the signal-to-noise ratio are obtained. It is shown that the total error of the STI estimation is close to 0.03 when the duration of the test signal is 8 s. Under conditions of noise action, this error decreases with a further increase in the duration of the test signal. Under conditions of joint action of noise and reverberation, such a decrease was not observed, while the total error is within 0.03-0.04.
