Terminology Rooted in Mythology
Authors: Năznean Adrian
Published: February 2023

Various medical terms are rooted in Greek in Roman mythology. The names of mythological figures such as Aphrodite, Hygeia, Morpheus, Narcissus, Priapus, or Thanatos, to name just a few, gave birth to terms such as aphrodisiac, hygiene, morphine, narcissism, priapism, thanatology. Achilles heel is derived from the myth of Achilles, in common language referring to one’s physical vulnerability. This paper investigates a small corpus of medical articles in order to identify collocations built with the name of the mythological figure of Achilles.

Authors: Jiménez-Sánchez María , Gargallo-Camarillas Noelia
Published: February 2023

During the last years, gamification has been regarded as a powerful tool to transform the EFL classroom into an engaging and entertaining learning context. The present paper aims to give insight into how gamification affects students’ intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. With a sample of 51 students of a state school located in Almazora (Castellón, Spain), an experimental group and a control group were created in order to compare digital to traditional methodologies, respectively. With the implementation of a Motivation’s Questionnaire and an Attitude’s Questionnaire, the obtained results indicated that the use of Quizizz motivates students both intrinsically and extrinsically and that students hold a favorable attitude towards the introduction of gamification in the EFL classroom. Finally, gamification seems to offer favourable results in the students’ learning process. Further research in this field should focus on other individual variables such as age, gender and background.

Anzia Yezierska and the Identity Crisis in Jewish-American Literature
Authors: Ștefanovici Smaranda
Published: February 2023

Religious and racial identities are being reconceived as responses to cultural environments. Many Jews continue to hold conflicting ideas about their identity. We will trace the realities and challenges of being Jewish in the USA through Anzia Yezierska’s “The Lost Beautifulness.” The short story demonstrates the failure of Americanization and the need for a hybrid identity for Jewish-American immigrants to solve their identity crisis in the American context. The main character uses the white paint for the kitchen as a symbolic path towards assimilating American concepts of whiteness, cleanliness, and beauty, apparently making her equal to and accepted by the American mainstream middle and upper-class population.

Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products in the Environment with Emphasis on Horizontal Transfer of Antibiotic Resistance Genes
Authors: Prasad Majeti N.V. , Elchuri Sailaja V.
Published: February 2023

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) discharged into environment has several adverse impacts. PPCPs are widely utilised for veterinary as well as cosmetic and personal health reasons. These are members of the expanding class of substances known as Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs). Antibiotic resistance in the environment and garbage generated by PPCP endanger life. The World Health Organisation (WHO) now recognises antibiotic resistance as a significant global health problem due to the expected increase in mortality caused by it. In the past ten years, mounting data has led experts to believe that the environment has a significant impact on the development of resistance. For human diseases, the external environment serves as a source of resistance genes. It also serves as a major pathway for the spread of resistant bacteria among various habitats and human populations. Large-scale DNA sequencing methods are employed in this thesis to better comprehend the dangers posed by environmental antibiotic resistance. The quantification of the number is an important step in this process. Metagenomic measurement of the number of antibiotic resistance genes in various contexts is a crucial step in this process. However, it’s also crucial to put this data into a broader context by integrating things like taxonomic information, antibiotic concentrations, and the genomic locations of found resistance genes.
Microwave-Aided Reactions of Aniline Derivatives with Formic Acid: Inquiry-Based Learning Experiments
Authors: Mycak Michael , Doležal Rafael , Bílek Martin , Kolář Karel
Published: February 2023

The synthesis of amides belongs to traditional experimental tasks not only in organic chemistry exercises at universities but also at chemically focused secondary schools or in special practices at general high schools. An example of such a synthesis may be the preparation of acetanilide via reaction of aniline with acetic acid or acetic anhydride. However, both of these reactions are associated with a rather long reaction time and certain hazards that limit their straightforward use in pedagogical practice. Conveniently, the reaction of aniline with acetic acid may be significantly optimised if it is performed under solvent-free conditions in the presence of microwaves, which reduces considerably the reaction time and provides very good yield, compared to traditional heating by a heating nest. In this study, the main pedagogical aim of the experimental design is elucidation of the influence of the structure of the amines on the course of the reaction with formic acid through inquiry-based learning. Specifically, the proposed experiments consist in investigation of the chemical yield achieved in microwave assisted reactions of aniline and its derivatives with formic acid in such a way that is adequate for constructive learning of undergraduate chemistry students. The selected series of amines involves aniline, 4-methoxyaniline, 4-chloroaniline, and 4-nitroaniline. In accordance with the chemical reactivity principles, students gradually realise that the influence of the substituent is reflected in the reaction yield, which grows in the following order: N-(4-nitrophenyl)formamide ˂ N-(4-chlorophenyl)formamide ˂ N-phenylformamide ˂ N-(4-methoxyphenyl)formamide. Therefore, the results of the experiments enable students to discover that stronger basicity of the amine increases the yield of the amide. In order to deepen the students’ chemical knowledge and skills, the concept of the experiments was transformed to support inquiry-based student learning. The proposed experiments are intended for experimental learning in universities educating future chemistry teachers, but they may be also utilised in the form of workshops for students at secondary schools of a general educational nature.

Published: February 2023

Introduction: In handball, the time for physical training is limited, because the focus is placed on the technical-tactical and mental aspects. The introduction of specific physical training is crucial in increasing the sports performance. Even though handball is a team sport, match analysis has shown that physical training in modern handball should be pointed towards the specific playing position and individual physical ability of the players.

Materials and methods: The subjects who participated in this are from two groups: the control group consisting of 16 junior I athletes aged 16-18 years, from the CSM Resita handball club, and the experimental group represented by 16 junior I athletes aged between 16-18 years old, from the handball club SCM Politehnica Timișoara. On the experimental group, it was applied in addition to the specific training program, an additional strength training program to increase strength and endurance. The tests aimed to evaluate the following parameters: specific power and specific energy of lower and upper limbs or aerobic fitness.

Results and discussions: For both dynamometric and endurance tests, statistically significant differences for all parameters have been registered only for the experimental group. The results showed an important improvement in the variables of the experimental group after training.

Conclusions: The objective to improve the physical training of junior handball players by applying a complementary training program was achieved.

Echocardiographic surveillance of rheumatic heart disease in West and North Darfur compared with Kassala State: socioeconomic or genetic differences?
Authors: Ali Sulafa , Mohamed Salah , Mohammedain Hamida , Haj Asmaa
Published: February 2023

Rheumatic heart disease (RHD), a preventable complication of group A beta-haemolytic streptococcal infection, is highly prevalent in Sudan. Echocardiographic (echo) screening has an established role in disease surveillance. This study aims to measure the echo prevalence of RHD using handheld echo (HHE) in West and North Darfur and Kassala states and initiate control programs. School children 10-18 years of age were selected from the three states and HHE screening was performed by trained paediatric residents supervised by cardiologists using a pretested protocol. Health worker training and public awareness sessions were carried out. The study was conducted between November 2020 and December 2021. In West Darfur, 1,547 children were screened, echo prevalence was found to be 17.4/1,000, and 22% had moderate to severe disease. In North Darfur, 800 children were screened and echo prevalence was 16.2/1,000, 23% had moderate to severe disease while in Kasala 2,225 children were screened and the prevalence was 3.1/1,000 and all cases were mild. One hundred and fifty-eight health workers were trained and 20,150 people benefited from health education sessions. The prevalence of RHD in Darfur is 5 times more than in Kassala.

Published: February 2023

Indonesia as one of the largest maritime countries in the world has enormous potential. To overcome this, it is necessary to optimize zakat. In this context, it is necessary to develop seafood zakat products through a productive distribution model so that the potential for community empowerment is realized. The purpose of this study is to identify and develop a distribution model of marine product zakat based on public perception. This research method is qualitative with a comparative study approach. Data collection techniques include observation, documentation, and deep interviews. The object of this research is the coastal communities located on the coast of Depok and the coast of Gunung Kidul, Yogyakarta. The results showed that the zakat on marine products from fishermen was not realized due to the lack of knowledge about the zakat distribution model and there was no collection of zakat funds for marine products. The solution offered by the researcher is to create a model for the distribution of zakat on marine products that will be collected by an organization called the "Network Charity Fishermen" (JAMAN). The JAMAN organization is managed by the Ta'mir of the local mosque so that the implementation of zakat on marine products can be coordinated and the distribution of zakat is realized

Materials and methods. A pharmacy in Vinnytsia, nomenclature of AHD, retail prices for AHD of the pharmacy under research were studied. The methods of survey, statistical, comparative, as well as ABC analysis were used.

Results. As a result of the study, the demand and consumption of AHD were analyzed on the example of one of the pharmacies in Vinnytsia for the period February-April 2021 using the ABC analysis. Nixar, Cetrine 20, L-cet, Dexamethasone, Cetrilev, Aerius, Cetrine 30 were the leading drugs in sales and accounted for 80 % of the total turnover. The total revenue of these funds was UAH 8218,68. Group B included Loratidine, Allerzin, Ergocetal, Claritin, which accounted for 15 % of the total amount of sales. The total revenue of these funds was UAH 1660,18. Such drugs as Cetirizine-TEVA, Suprastin, Allergosan, Tavegil, Ketotifen, and Diphenhydramine were 5 % of the total sales. The total revenue of these funds was UAH 718,43.

Conclusions. It has been found that the following AHP are in the greatest demand among the population: Nixar, Cetrine 20, L-cet, Dexamethasone, Cetrilev, Aerius, Cetrine 30. These drugs provide the main income of the pharmacy chain, and pharmacy employees need to ensure 100 % availability of this product name.
Interaction Behavior of Pulsejet Engines

Published: February 2023

Valveless pulsejet engines are analyzed as electric circuits in which the main engine components (inlet, combustion chamber, and tailpipe) are assigned impedance values and represented using a system of linear equations. The solution to these equations yields Bode plots for the engines that can be used to predict operating frequency as well as the effects of individual component dimensions on overall engine behavior. This method of analysis is found to predict engine operating frequencies to within 7% of experimentally measured values. The analysis is extended to include systems of multiple engines and again verified by comparison to experiment. It is shown that multiple engines can be locked in phase or in antiphase predictably by selecting the proper interconnection method. The latter has important implications for noise reduction and for propulsion applications involving arrays of pulsejets.
Multi-Objective Airfoil Optimization Under Unsteady-Freestream Dynamic Stall Conditions
Authors: Jing Simeng , Zhao Qijun , Zhao Guoqing , Wang Qing
Published: February 2023

Aimed at alleviating dynamic stall, an optimization method for rotor airfoils is proposed considering the unsteady-freestream circumstance and pitching motion. The method is based on the unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations, kriging model, and non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II). Three objective functions are built for minimizing the area of lift hysteresis loop, value of peak drag, and peak pitching moment. An optimized airfoil with larger maximum thickness, maximum camber, and upper leading-edge radius is obtained based on the baseline SC1095 airfoil. Besides, the optimized airfoil shows smaller local thickness and camber near the trailing edge. The results show that the flow separation and dynamic stall are suppressed or alleviated under both design and off-design conditions, attributed to a significant reduction of negative pressure peak and adverse pressure gradient. The dynamic stall is also alleviated for the rotor configured with the optimized airfoil in forward flight. This indicates that the optimized airfoil performs well in a rotor environment.
Computing Natural Transitions Between Tori Near Resonances in the Earth–Moon System
Authors: Bonasera Stefano , Bosanac Natasha
Published: February 2023

Natural transitions between bounded motions near mean-motion resonances occur throughout our solar system and are valuable in trajectory design. Such phenomena have been examined for natural transitions between periodic orbits near resonances within multi-body systems. However, families of quasi-periodic trajectories, tracing the surface of invariant 2-tori, significantly expand the solution space of bounded motions near resonances. Yet, identifying natural transitions between spatial 2-tori has previously been cumbersome due to the high dimensionality of the associated solution space. This paper approaches the challenge in constructing these natural transfers by using a combination of Poincaré mapping, a well-known technique from dynamical systems theory, and manifold learning, a technique for dimension reduction. The presented approach involves projecting a higher-dimensional dataset of intersections recorded from the hyperbolic invariant manifolds of two 2-tori onto a lower-dimensional embedding, enabling rapid identification of initial guesses for natural transfers. These initial guesses are then corrected and input to a continuation scheme to recover families of geometrically similar transfers connecting families of invariant 2-tori. This approach is demonstrated by constructing families of natural transitions between tori near distinct resonances in the Earth–Moon circular restricted three-body problem.

Published: February 2023

A convolutional neural network was used to enhance the localization of strain and stress for a generalized method of cells model of a metallic microstructure. Enhanced shear strains, measured in terms of the linear regression coefficients as a function of ground truth strains, were improved from inaccurate and uncorrelated ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]) to accurate and well correlated ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]) relative to ground truth ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]). Kernel sizes of 2 or 3 were effective in the convolutional neural network (padding = “same”). graphical processing unit (GPU)-parallelized enhancement costs were low after training (range 0.41–3.45%) compared to the baseline generalized method of cells, and are significantly faster than finite element. The accuracy of enhanced localized shear strains and stress is expected to yield benefits for damage progression models, especially in the context of hierarchical multiscale methods where the generalized method of cells is applied at the intermediate scale.
High-Order-Accurate Incompressible Flow Solver for High-Fidelity Numerical Simulations and Linear Stability Analysis
Authors: Hosseinverdi Shirzad , Fasel Hermann F.
Published: February 2023

The development of high-fidelity versatile incompressible Navier–Stokes solver that is applicable for both direct numerical simulations (DNSs) and linear global stability investigations is presented and discussed. The solver is based on a vorticity–velocity formulation of the Navier–Stokes equations for orthogonal curvilinear grids. A rigorous and efficient approach is proposed that guarantees the divergence-free condition for the velocity and vorticity fields. The code incorporates advanced numerical algorithms including compact finite differences in combination with a pseudo-spectral method, together with an efficient and high-order-accurate Poisson solver. Linear stability modules based on the linearized Navier–Stokes equations (LNSEs) tailored for primary and secondary instability analyses are developed and incorporated into the code, such that the solver can switch from DNS to LNSE in a consistent manner by turning off the nonlinear terms and vice versa. The linear framework includes all the nonparallel effects with respect to the steady/unsteady baseflow and the form of disturbances, and because it is formulated as an initial value problem, both convective and absolute/global instability mechanisms can be investigated. An additional significant advantage of the linear module is that, for the secondary stability analysis, time-periodic assumption is not required and/or the unsteady baseflow does not have to be computed a priori. In the present paper, results obtained with the new Navier–Stokes solver are compared with benchmark solutions for the flow past a static and oscillating circular cylinder. The new code then was employed for a three-dimensional DNS of the flow for a wing section with a modified NACA 6 series airfoil at a chord Reynolds number of [Formula: see text]. Furthermore, the capability of the linear stability modules was demonstrated by investigating the primary and secondary (convective and absolute) instability mechanisms for boundary layers and the flow past a circular cylinder.
