Authors: Wang Wenpu , Huang Shu
Published: September 2023

This paper first proposes English learning software based on personalized recommendations to enhance students’ interest and motivation in learning college English based on artificial intelligence teaching. Secondly, it consists of constructing a learner model, an English learning resource personalized recommendation algorithm to constitute an English learning resource recommendation model, and using a collaborative decomposition algorithm and a regularization algorithm to integrate the potential, multifaceted trust relationship between users with the traditional scoring matrix, a process that emphasizes that trust between users in English teaching varies by different factors and strengths. Then, a personalized recommendation-based university English learning software was designed, and English learning software applications were analyzed by example. The results showed that the adjusted means of pre and post-test scores of the control group, experimental group one, and experimental group two were 77.37, 80.94, and 75.12, respectively, and the statistical score result F=5.33, P<05 indicated that there was a significant difference in the change of English performance of these three groups, which verified that the teaching software had a facilitating effect on the improvement of English teaching quality.

Authors: Cao Haili
Published: September 2023

In this paper, firstly, the complementary grouping method is realized through the complementary grouping of cooperative shared learning supported by cognitive diagnosis, the knowledge relationship dependency graph construction, expected response pattern construction, and dynamic stratification process, and then the complementary grouping method is realized. Then, a cognitive mapping embedded resource sharing platform based on memory network and graph attention is proposed, including test factors based on graph attention and student factors based on memory network. The results show that in the FrcSub dataset DINA model deviates from the other two models in the 1st, 3rd, 8th, 12th, and 14th question prediction effects, and the overall question prediction performance is stable with a deviation of ±0.05. The cognitive mapping embedded resource sharing platform is efficient and feasible and also provides a new way of thinking for the development of macro education in universities.

Authors: Chi Xiaoni , Wu Qiuxuan , Zhang Shengnan , Xu Yadan , Zhang Yuanyuan
Published: September 2023

This paper divides the Course on the Ideological and Political Dimension into four dimensions based on data mining technology and establishes a four-dimensional classroom teaching system. By analyzing the main algorithms of data mining, cluster analysis is selected as the main method to divide the Ideological and Political Science dimensions among the three main types of algorithm analysis. The expectation maximization algorithm in the clustering algorithm is used to introduce the approximate values of each dimension parameter. The unknown categories corresponding to the dimensions were calculated using the EM algorithm, which combined with Jensen’s inequality to turn the random variables in the set into constants to ensure that the samples of the same category have high similarity. The results show that the percentage of integration of the school’s Civic content with the profession is low, only 0.1, and the ideal figure should be 0.4.

Authors: She Botong
Published: September 2023

Teaching quality evaluation, as an important part of running teaching work in the background of information technology, is an important means to judge teaching levels and improve teaching quality and plays a vital role in strengthening modern teaching management. This paper proposes using gray correlation analysis for the comprehensive evaluation of teaching quality because of the ambiguity and uncertainty presented by the influencing factors in teaching quality evaluation and the unique advantage of gray correlation analysis in dealing with gray systems. The original data is dimensionless, and the analysis and evaluation are conducted after eliminating the dimension. And the components of the comprehensive evaluation of teaching means, including environmental factors, teacher factors and student factors, were explored, an in-depth analysis was conducted on these elements, and the optimization of teaching paths was determined by combining the actual teaching situation with relevant experts. The results show that the results obtained from the evaluation of the effectiveness of classroom teaching in colleges and universities by experts, students and teachers are 2.0222, 2.2195 and 2.0188, respectively, and the data of the three are very close. The evaluation model of school quality based on gray correlation analysis proposed in this paper can accurately and effectively evaluate the teaching quality, which can promote teachers to improve themselves and the teaching quality to achieve the goals of teaching, learning and use.

The article considers the theory of the issue of designing an ultrasonic screw plant for processing soybean grain. The authors proposed a device based on a screw mechanism that allows the transportation of bulk cargo in the form of a liquid suspension, ultrasonic treatment, liquid withdrawal and extraction. Ultrasonic processing technology allows accelerating mass transfer processes of inactivation of anti-nutritional sub-stances that reduce the digestibility of protein of leguminous crops. The proposed design of the plant allows intensive processing of grain in the working area and squeezing the suspension to the required parameters. The case has a perforated partition for the first spin, a conical narrowing of the case for the second spin. The time of exposure to the processed suspension is set by changing the angle of the housing and the rotation fre-quency of the screw. In order to intensify the process of ultrasonic grain processing, part of the installation body is equipped with a cable heater that allows increasing the temperature to the required parameters. The installation body is fixed on two racks: fixed and adjustable, with which the angle of inclination of the instal-lation body is adjusted (from 150 to 450). The ultrasonic unit can also be used for washing and disinfection of grain, oilseeds or intensive humidification.
The Far-reaching Implications of China’s AI-powered Surveillance State Post-COVID
Authors: Racine Elise
Published: September 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has vastly accelerated the digitalization of public health practices worldwide. In doing so, it has fostered a new class of pandemic-related technological solutions, a subset of which utilize artificial intelligence for contact tracing purposes. The People’s Republic of China has not been immune from this rush to implement these novel tools. But there is a darker element to the country’s Alipay Health Code mobile application that extends beyond pandemic preparedness. With ambitions to further incorporate the app into their already vast surveillance apparatus, China is on the precipice of setting a dangerous precedent for pervasive, state-sponsored automated social control. In such a world, we may see health tools co-opted into systems that score individuals on their political fealty. As such, they have the potential to severely undercut democratic ideals by restricting the freedom to dissent necessary to uphold such values. They would do all this under the guise of promoting collective wellbeing.
ФАЛЕРИСТИЧНІ ЗДОБУТКИ УКРАЇНСЬКИХ ВИЗВОЛЬНИХ ЗМАГАНЬ (1917 – 1921) ТА ЇХ ВПЛИВ НА СУЧАСНУ ФАЛЕРИСТИКУ
Authors: МАШТАЛІР Вадим , МИСЬКО Сергій
Published: September 2023

Збройні сили як важливий інститут держави не може існувати без військових традицій, що згуртовують та об’єднують навколо себе єдиною спільною метою – захисту Батьківщини. Будь-яка армія світу завжди зберігає військові традиції попередніх поколінь та плекає славетні подвиги своїх пращурів, що є гарантованою ознакою функціонування військового підрозділу різної ланки.
Український визвольний рух 1917 – 1921 рр. та його перебіг зумовили розвиток такої соціально-гуманітарної складової, як заохочення особового складу українських воїнів за здійснення героїчних вчинків у боротьбі за незалежну Україну. Своєю назвою, зовнішнім виглядом та елементами оздоблення нагороди того періоду надихнули сучасних митців-дослідників до їх втілення в сучасну фалеристику Збройних Сил України. З цією метою протягом визначеного періоду було започатковано певні кроки з розвитку власної нагородної системи, проте через тогочасні військово-політичні події уповні реалізувати напрацювання не вдалося. Мета дослідження полягає у з’ясуванні становлення, розвитку та функціонування нагородної системи, яка сформувалася у період Визвольних змагань 1917 – 1921 рр., та її подальший вплив на формування сучасної фалеристики Збройних Сил України. Методологічну основу дослідження становлять принципи історизму, системності та науковості. У ході дослідження було використано історико-системний підхід і прийоми макроісторичного аналізу. Наукова новизна полягає в актуалізації вивчення питання започаткування і розвитку нагород для відзначення солдат та старшин власних збройних сил часів Визвольних змагань 1917 – 1921 рр., визначення прикладів запозичення елементів оздоблення проєктів нагород Визвольних змагань 1917 – 1921 рр. та їх застосування у дизайні військових нагород сучасних Збройних Сил України, здійснення правонаступництва військових і фалеристичних традицій у ході становлення та формування сучасної фалеристики Збройних Сил України, введення до наукового обігу нових джерел. Висновки. Попри складну воєнно-політичну й економічну обстановку, триваючу збройну боротьбу на всій території тогочасної України у період Визвольних змагань 1917 – 1921 рр. було зроблено вагомі кроки зі створення та впровадження української нагородної системи. Можна вважати, що саме у цей період вона набула ознак офіційних державних інституцій, затверджених на законодавчому рівні, що започаткувало формування перших зразків нагород. Відзнаки, а також ескізи нереалізованих проєктів нагород часів Визвольних змагань 1917 – 1921 рр. стали прототипами багатьох українських відзнак, орденів, медалей та загалом української військової фалеристики, які були втілені вже в наші дні й знайшли  відображення у сучасній фалеристиці Збройних Сил України, що підтверджує наслідування військових традицій.

ДЕРЖАВНА РЕЄСТРАЦІЯ КОРОЛІВСЬКИХ ПРИВІЛЕЇВ ЛІШНЯНСЬКОГО МОНАСТИРЯ У ПЕРЕМИШЛЬСЬКИХ ГРОДСЬКИХ АКТАХ (ДРУГА ПОЛОВИНА XVII – ПЕРША ПОЛОВИНА XVIII СТ.)

Published: September 2023

Мета дослідження – розкрити значення реєстрації королівських привілеїв у Перемишльських гродських судових актах для визначення майнового і правового становища Лішнянського монастиря. Наукова новизна дослідження вбачається у віднайдені копій королівських привілеїв та укладенні їхнього реєстраційного списку. Методологія дослідження – базується на використанні аналітичної та синтетичної критики історичних документів. Використано методи співставлення та порівняння різних копій королівських привілеїв, які збереглися до нашого часу і в різні історичні періоди вносилися до гродських актових книг. Висновки. На кінець XVII ст. монастирський фільварок Лішнянського монастиря набрав чіткого окреслення. Завдяки королівським привілеям було створене економічне підґруття для функціонування обителі. Розглянуті нами привілеї, окрім економічної складової, містили в собі питання про регулювання адміністративного управління монастирем. Адже розглядувана нами обитель була розташована на ґрунтах, які входили до складу королівських столових маєтків Самбірської економії. Відповідно на монастир поширювалося королівське право патронату та право подання. Оскільки, як засвідчують привілеї, королі не тільки надавали ґрунти для монастирського фільварку, але й затверджували настоятелів монастирів. Проте із утворенням Святопокровської провінції (1739 р.) та виходом унійних монастирів із юрисдикції місцевих єпископів польські королі, як і місцева шляхта, втратили право затверджувати настоятелів обителей, а натомість за ними збережено право коляторів – надання різних економічних прав і вольностей (право вирубу лісу, млинарства, корчмарства, солеваріння, надання ґрунтів, будівель тощо). Призначення ігуменів переходило до компетенцій провінційної управи (протоігумена та чотирьох консульторів). Державна реєстрація королівських привілеїв наданих Лішнянському монастиреві у Перемишльських гродських судових актових книгах надавала їм правової чинності для захисту своїх майнових прав. Віднайдення та опрацювання цих привілеїв дозволяє сучасним дослідникам окреслити матеріальні засади існування обителі, визначити її настоятелів та простежити юридично-правові відносини церковних інституцій із світськими органами влади. Встановлено, що за умов відсутності первинної монастирської фундаційної документації королівські привілеї як актові джерела фіксували відомості про існування обителі.

ІСТОРІОГРАФІЯ СТАНОВЛЕННЯ ДЕРЖАВНОЇ СИСТЕМИ ОХОРОНИ ПАМ’ЯТОК КУЛЬТУРНОЇ СПАДЩИНИ В УКРАЇНІ
Authors: ХАРКОВЕНКО Роман
Published: September 2023

Мета дослідження полягає у здійсненні аналізу історіографії становлення державної системи охорони пам’яток культурної спадщини України. Наукова новизна. У статті розглядаються й аналізуються особливості охорони українських пам’яток культурної спадщини. Здійснено огляд пам’яткоохоронного законодавства і принципів державного управління. Виокремлено національні особливості виявлення, дослідження, обліку, охорони, збереження та використання пам’яток культурної спадщини в Україні. Методологія дослідження ґрунтується на системі теоретичних принципів (системності, історизму, об’єктивності тощо), логічних прийомів (аналіз і синтез, індукція та дедукція, аналогія, гіпотеза тощо) та конкретних засобів дослідження, що дали змогу висвітлити особливості у сфері охорони культурної спадщини України.
Висновки та пропозиції автора. Сьогодні у світі відпрацьований досить дієвий механізм зі збереження культурної спадщини. Велика роль, безумовно, належить міжнародним пам’яткоохоронним організаціям, проте основна робота щодо охорони пам’яток належить все-таки національним органам охорони культурної спадщини конкретних держав, що ми бачимо на прикладі України.
Вивчення останніх публікацій показало, що питання становлення законодавства України у сфері охорони культурної спадщини (наявність значної кількості законодавчих актів) і популяризації діяльності міжнародних організацій (реалізація міжнародного права) лише частково демонструють особливості здійснення процесів охорони пам’яток та регулювання у сфері охорони культурної спадщини. Потребували посиленої уваги комплексні дослідження форм і методів збереження культурної спадщини, механізму їх практичної реалізації відповідними державними, науковими, громадськими інституціями, питання оновлення змісту майнових і фінансових відносин щодо державної підтримки неприбуткової сфери культурної галузі.
Незважаючи на розробленість проблематики з охорони культурної спадщини вітчизняними і зарубіжними науковцями у зазначених напрямах, малодослідженим залишається комплекс дій з охорони пам’яток культурної спадщини. Аналіз чинного законодавства і наукових праць, їх висновки й здобуті результати стали теоретико-методологічним підґрунтям нашої роботи, допомігши з’ясувати, що в умовах розбудови незалежної Української держави і пов’язаних із нею процесів пробудження національної самосвідомості та духовного відродження українського народу, ставлення до культурної спадщини набуває особливого значення. Проте попри численні напрацювання науковців питання механізмів охорони пам'яток культурної спадщини та регулювання пам'яткоохоронної справи залишаються недостатньо висвітленими.
На сьогодні розвиток сфери охорони культурної спадщини вимагає постійної уваги, стимулювання і значного якісного поліпшення.

Authors: Saidu Ahmed Bode  , Clestus Akosim  , Zakari Buba Yaduma
Published: September 2023

The study evaluated management options for the sustainable conservation of wildlife species and factors that will actualize the Successful Implementation of the Options in the three ecological zones in Adamawa state. The study tool consists of a structured questionnaire, multi-stage and simple random sampling techniques employed for data collection. Descriptive statistics and multiple linear regressions were used for data analysis. Results indicated that management options identified included captive breeding and domestication, safari and zoo, community forestry, hunting reserve, game reserve, game ranching and National park. Regression analysis between management options and factors that will ensure their success in the ecological zones (land availability, government policies and legislation, awareness of values of wildlife conservation, willingness to support wildlife conservation/attitude and willingness to contribute financially to wildlife conservation) revealed that land availability (p<0.01), willingness to contribute financially to wildlife conservation (p<0.01) and willingness to support wildlife conservation/attitude (p<0.04) were the critical factors among others required to actualize the management options in the study area. The study recommended that government should encourage integrated efforts among local governments, non-governmental organizations and local communities to ensure the implementation and success of the management options. The government and private organizations should provide loans to enable farmers to practice wildlife domestication. Local institutions (Village heads and councils) should be empowered to enforce customary laws that are targeted towards protection, conservation and the practice of wildlife domestication. Government should establish training centers for wildlife domestication. Finally, the government should enact laws that will encourage the conservation and domestication of wildlife species.

Authors: Dr. Edward Idigo  , Dr. Vitus Amadi
Published: September 2023

This study reviewed how Nigerian banking organisations use technology to implement the intensive strategy of market development, especially by introducing their existing products to new market segments, creating new channels of distribution and by promoting alternate uses of their current products in their present and new markets. The research design was a descriptive survey of 5 selected banks representing about 20% of the 25 money deposit banks in Nigeria. Personal interviews were used as the primary data source, while documentary sources constituted secondary data for this study. The interviews and the documentary sources focused on the selected bank's specific technology deployments in implementing some of their market development strategies. The data collected were presented and discussed with illustrative narration of technology-driven market development strategies. The findings based on interviews and documentary sources indicated that technology remains a significant tool in implementing and achieving market development in the Nigerian banking industry. It confirmed that technology is deployed by banks in getting their existing products and services to new market segments, creating new channels of distribution and promoting alternate uses of their existing products in both present and new markets. In conclusion, this study construes that technology has a direct positive relationship with intensive market development strategies in the Nigerian banking industry. Therefore, the implication is that banks make adequate investments in technology to enable them to fully implement market development and other strategies to remain competitive and profitable.
Determinants of Strategic Management Accounting Information Disclosure under a Multi-Theoretical Framework: Evidence of Listed Firms on Ghana Stock Exchange
Authors: Michael Amoh Asiedu  , Mustapha Osman Opoku
Published: September 2023

Sharing information is vital for decision-making as it helps mitigate risks by providing a wealth of relevant information. When the perceived risk is low, it ultimately reduces the costs associated with making a decision. Strategic Management Accounting Information is an important resource for decision-making. This study sought to identify the determinants of strategic management accounting information disclosure (SMAID) from multiple perspectives. The study used a non-experimental, quantitative correlational design to analyze 35 out of 36 firms listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange for a period between 2010 and 2019. The study employed a linear dynamic panel data model with a one-step system GMM. The model included lagged values of the dependent variable and accounted for unobserved panel-level effects. It was discovered that Board subcommittees have non-linear relationships with SMAID. The previous year's subcommittee negatively impacts SMAID, while the current year's has a positive influence. Past disclosures of strategic management and competitor accounting information have a positive impact on current SMAID. Past customer accounting information disclosures also positively influenced the current SMAID. The study reveals that past disclosures of strategic costing information positively and statistically affect current aggregate SMAID. It is recommended that firms establish effective board sub-committees that can provide oversight and guidance to the management team. Policymakers should consider enforcing the presence of such sub-committees to ensure high-quality and sufficient disclosure of SMAID. Maintaining a high level of SMAID from the previous year can positively impact the current year's SMAID, enabling firms to make better-informed decisions and enhance overall performance.

Published: September 2023

The purpose of this study is to determine the procedure for registering land derived from customary land according to Government Regulation Number 24 of 1997. The results show that the procedure for registering land derived from customary land includes the activity of initial registration, which is the registration of land objects that have not been registered based on Government Regulation Number 10 of 1961, as amended by Government Regulation Number 24 of 1997. This registration is carried out systematically and sporadically with certain requirements that must be fulfilled by the applicant. These requirements include a letter of application, a photocopy of the applicant's identification card, a photocopy of the Land and Building Tax, written evidence of the original land accompanied by a certificate of physical possession and a certificate from the village head. Once all the required data is complete and meets the criteria, a certificate of rights over customary land is issued.
Alter/ Native and the New Historicism Contents of Second Generation Nigerian Poets
Authors: Rebecca Ufuoma Davies
Published: September 2023

This paper examines the intersection and synergy between Alter/Native criticism and the New Historicism in the context of second-generation Nigerian poets. Alter/ Native criticism focuses on indigenous literary traditions, cultural contexts, and oral histories, while New Historicism explores the interplay between literature and historical conditions. By applying these critical approaches to the works of second-generation Nigerian poets and novelists, such as Niyi Osundare, Chinua Achebe, and Wole Soyinka, this study aims to shed light on how these poets and novelists enrich our understanding of Nigerian literature by examining the cultural and historical contexts in which their works are produced. Drawing from indigenous literary traditions, the second-generation Nigerian poets employ AlterNative criticism to explore themes of identity, cultural heritage, and the preservation of indigenous voices. Their works incorporate elements of folklore, proverbs, and cultural symbols, reflecting a deep engagement with Nigerian cultural heritage. Additionally, the New Historicism provides insights into how the historical conditions of Nigeria, including colonization, independence struggles, and post-colonial challenges, influence the themes and styles of the poets' works. Through the application of the New Historicism, we can examine how these poets engage with and respond to historical events, power dynamics, and social realities. By examining the poems and critical perspectives of second-generation Nigerian poets, this paper showcases the synergies and mutual enrichment between Native criticism and New Historicism. The combination of these approaches enhances our understanding of the cultural and historical dimensions of the poets' works, providing deeper insights into the complexities of Nigerian literature.

O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a associação entre facetas de desgaste por atrição e má oclusão em escolares brasileiros. Este estudo transversal realizado com 433 escolares de 8 a 10 anos, junto a seus pais/responsáveis, das redes pública e privada na cidade de Diamantina. Informações sobre sociodemográfico da família da criança e saúde geral da criança foram colhidos a partir de um questionário previamente estruturado, direcionado aos pais/cuidadores. Foram realizados exame intrabucal em cada criança para avalição da presença de facetas de desgaste por atrição, perda de tecido dentário por erosão, ausência/presença de má oclusão e traumatismo dentário. Os resultados foram obtidos a partir da análise descritiva de frequência absoluta e relativa dos dados e analise de Regressão de Poisson (IC 95%; p<0,05). Os resultados mostraram uma prevalência de crianças com facetas de desgaste de 73,7%, a sobressaliência anterior superior (RP= 1,16; IC: 95%; 1,03-1,31; p= 0,014) e a relação molar (RP=1,15; IC 95%: 1,00–1,29; p=0,030) associadas a presença de facetas de desgastes por atrição, e o apinhamento dentário (RP: 0,87; IC: 95%; 0,78-0,98; P= 0,023)  um fator de proteção para a facetas de desgaste em escolares, independentemente do sexo e idade da criança. Os resultados do presente mostraram que a alta prevalência de facetas de desgaste, sendo a sobressaliência anterior superior e a relação molar associadas a presença desse desgaste dentário. Dessa forma, os dados sinalizam a necessidade dos cirurgiões-dentistas estarem atentos a presença de desgaste fora dos padrões fisiológicos e relacionados a presença de má-oclusão.

Mitos e verdades: eletroconvulsoterapia e estimulação magnética transcraniana
Authors: Brunoni Andre Russowsky , Gallucci Neto José
Published: September 2023

A eletroconvulsoterapia e a estimulação magnética transcraniana são técnicas de estimulação cerebral que alteram ou modulam a atividade do cérebro por meio da aplicação de eletricidade, seja pelo uso de uma corrente elétrica ou de indução eletromagnética. Ainda que se tratem de terapias seguras e eficazes no tratamento de diversos transtornos mentais, ainda há muito estigma acerca das técnicas. No ABP TV de hoje, vamos abordar o tema “Mitos e verdades sobre eletroconvulsoterapia (ECT) e estimulação magnética transcraniana (EMT)”.

Em 2019, a Organização Mundial da Saúde publicou os dados mais recentes sobre suicídio em todo o mundo, revelando que mais de 1 milhão de pessoas morreram por suicídio, o que representa uma a cada 100 mortes. No Brasil, o cenário também é preocupante: são mais de 14 mil casos por ano, de acordo com o Ministério da Saúde. No entanto, praticamente todas as pessoas que morreram por suicídio eram padecentes de algum transtorno mental, sendo assim a maioria dos casos poderia ter sido evitada se elas recebessem atendimento psiquiátrico. Além disso, pesquisas apontam que pessoas com ideação suicida dão sinais e, por isso, é fundamental que todos consigam identificá-los e ajudar, caso seja necessário. Hoje vamos promover o programa especial "Setembro Amarelo®: como as pessoas podem ajudar?".
Wind Tunnel and Grid Resolution Effects in Large-Eddy Simulations of the High-Lift Common Research Model
Authors: Goc Konrad A. , Moin Parviz , Bose Sanjeeb T. , Clark Adam M.
Published: September 2023

This paper describes the application of a compressible large-eddy simulation (LES) solver to the flow over the High-Lift Common Research Model (CRM-HL) in landing configuration, a complex external aerodynamic flow configuration with deployed slats, flaps, a flow-through nacelle, and the associated brackets/fairings on the high-lift devices. The bulk Mach number is (0.2) and the mean-aerodynamic-chord-based Reynolds number is typical of a wind tunnel experiment ([Formula: see text]). A key development in these simulations relative to previous work is that this work serves to establish robustness of LES methods to Reynolds number and aircraft configuration. Previous studies focused on the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency Standard Model, which featured a nearly [Formula: see text] lower Reynolds number than the present CRM-HL investigation and less aggressive wing/slat leading-edge curvature than the CRM-HL geometry, which led to lower leading-edge pressure suction peak magnitudes, both of which led to less stringent grid resolution requirements. In these LES simulations, an algebraic equilibrium wall modeling approach is employed along with a dynamic implementation of the Smagorinsky subgrid-scale model. The calculations are carried out in both a free air setting and one that includes the wind tunnel facility at seven angles of attack at five grid resolution levels, ranging from [Formula: see text] million control volumes. In free air, the solutions show decreasing sensitivity to the grid with each successive refinement level and systematically approach the experimental lift coefficient data as the grid is refined, with the 1.5 billion control volume case showing excellent agreement with the corrected experimental data. The simulations in both free air and in the wind tunnel predict a stall mechanism featuring a large inboard juncture stall and a nose-down break in the pitching moment curve, both of which agree with the experimental observations. The accuracy of the simulations is assessed via comparisons of integrated forces/moments, surface pressures, and surface skin friction visualizations. Graphics processing unit (GPU) acceleration of the charLES solver results in tractable turnaround times that make LES a useful tool in the aerospace industry design cycle. Recent GPU acceleration of the flow solver has made LES solutions that are highly accurate in lift/drag/moment for relevant high-lift aircraft flows achievable within about 5 h of wall time on 600 GPU cores.
Performance, Aerodynamics, and Aeroacoustics of Side-by-Side Rotors Using High-Fidelity Computational Fluid Dynamics
Authors: Sagaga Jared , Lee Seongkyu
Published: September 2023

This paper investigates the performance, aerodynamics, and aeroacoustics of NASA’s side-by-side urban air mobility (UAM) aircraft in hover conditions, utilizing high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. High Performance Computing Modernization Program CREATE™-AV Helios is employed for the CFD simulations, while acoustic predictions are performed by PSU-WOPWOP. The simulations apply overset structured grids, the Spalart–Allmaras detached eddy simulation turbulence model, and adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) on the off-body mesh. The investigation covers four rotor overlap scenarios and five collective pitch angles, all maintaining a consistent rotational speed. Results indicate that as rotor overlap distance increases, a minor improvement in the figure of merit is noticed. Nevertheless, a substantial reduction in blade loading within the overlap region becomes apparent. The blade–vortex interaction (BVI) intensifies between both rotors as the overlap region broadens. The 25% overlap configuration is shown to yield the highest overall sound pressure level (OASPL) among all configurations due to the more pronounced BVIs at the entrance and exit of the overlap area. It is observed that the OASPL exceeds 62 dBA at an altitude of 500 ft (152.4 m) for all overlap cases, exceeding the suggested UAM aircraft noise guideline. Additionally, noise generated by all overlap scenarios is compared against various background noise levels. Results suggest that the noise produced by the side-by-side rotor configuration is not fully masked by any of the different background noise levels at an altitude of 500 ft (152.4 m).
Forced Injection of a Spanwise-Inclined Jet in Supersonic Crossflow
Authors: Sebastian Robin , Schreyer Anne-Marie
Published: September 2023

Beneficial effects of forced air-jet vortex generators in controlling shock-induced flow separation motivated us to study forced jet injection in detail to understand the advantageous control effects. We performed implicit large-eddy simulations to examine the influence of sinusoidally forced injection of a spanwise-inclined jet in supersonic crossflow. Two forcing frequencies were considered (with [Formula: see text] and 0.0062) in a crossflow at Mach 2.5 and momentum-thickness Reynolds number of 7000. The underexpansion of the jet has a near-linear dependence on the injection pressure. Consequently, in the near field, the major vortices pulsate with the injection pressure. Statistical analysis using triple decomposition revealed that periodic oscillations of the major counter-rotating vortex pair (CVP) result in momentum transfer by major CVPs, also on their lateral sides, leading to enhanced mixing and lateral spreading, which is beneficial for separation control. Three-dimensional dynamic mode decomposition revealed that forced injection induces a large-scale clockwise rotation of the major vortex. These effects are weak at low forcing frequency. High-frequency jet forcing thus leads to more efficient control of flow separation. On the other hand, periodic oscillations cause these vortical structures to dissipate and breakdown faster in the midfield region than for steady jets. The placement of forced jets is therefore an important parameter when used for separation-control purposes.

The article analyzes the essence, principles and goals of the concept of sustainable development. The progress of Ukraine in the processes of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals was studied, with emphasis on Goal 4 "Quality education". The progress of Ukraine in the process of implementing Goal 4 "Quality education" is outlined, which is explained by the positive dynamics of a number of indicators, in particular "the percentage of the population that used Internet services during the year", "the percentage of general secondary education institutions in rural areas that have access to the Internet and such , which use computer equipment in the educational process", "percentage of secondary education institutions with inclusive education", etc., however, there is a decrease in the percentage of men who are employed in the educational field, coverage of children under 5 years of age in preschool education institutions. The tasks and measures implemented during the war period are presented, and the priority plans for reforming the higher education system are outlined.It is noted that before the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, positive dynamics were noted in the processes of modernization of the higher education system, namely, the improvement of teaching methods, the development of modern online platforms, the expansion of cooperation with stakeholders, and the activation of professional training. This contributes to the adaptive management and reform of the higher education system in accordance with modern challenges and educational trends.It has been investigated that domestic institutions of higher education are actively involved in the processes of implementing the Sustainable Development Goals and integrating the principles of sustainability into their activities. However, the extremely difficult conditions of the war significantly slowed down the pace and intensity of the influence of universities on ensuring the sustainable development of the country and its regions. Due to the destruction or significant damage to the premises of educational institutions and their infrastructure (including research), universities are forced to shift the focus of attention from sustainable development to the restoration of buildings, classrooms and laboratories, support for students of higher education and scientific and pedagogical workers, volunteering and the search for new organizational tools educational and scientific processe
