Improving Estimation of Layer Thickness and Identification of Slicer for 3D Printing Forensics
Authors: Shim Bo Seok , Hou Jong-Uk
Published: October 2023

This study emphasizes the significance of estimating the layer thickness and identifying slicer programs in the realm of 3D printing forensics. With the progress in 3D printing technology, precise estimation of the layer thickness has become crucial. However, previous research on layer thickness estimation has mainly treated the problem as a classification task, which is inadequate for continuous layer thickness parameters. Furthermore, previous studies have concentrated on hardware-based printer identification, but the identification of slicer programs through 3D objects is a vital aspect of the software domain and can provide valuable clues for 3D printing forensics. In this study, a regression-based approach utilizing a vision transformer model was proposed. Experiments conducted on the SI3DP++ dataset demonstrated that the proposed model could handle a broad range of data and outperform the current classification models. Additionally, this study proposed a new research direction by introducing slicer program identification, which significantly contributes to the field of 3D printing forensics.
Using Schlieren Imaging and a Radar Acoustic Sounding System for the Detection of Close-in Air Turbulence
Authors: Gordon Samantha , Brooker Graham
Published: October 2023

This paper presents a novel sensor for the detection and characterization of regions of air turbulence. As part of the ground truth process, it consists of a combined Schlieren imager and a Radar Acoustic Sounding System (RASS) to produce dual-modality “images” of air movement within the measurement volume. The ultrasound-modulated Schlieren imager consists of a strobed point light source, parabolic mirror, light block, and camera, which are controlled by two laptops. It provides a fine-scale projection of the acoustic pulse-modulated air turbulence through the measurement volume. The narrow beam 40 kHz/17 GHz RASS produces spectra based on Bragg-enhanced Doppler radar reflections from the acoustic pulse as it travels. Tests using artificially generated air vortices showed some disruption of the Schlieren image and of the RASS spectrogram. This should allow the higher-resolution Schlieren images to identify the turbulence mechanisms that are disrupting the RASS spectra. The objective of this combined sensor is to have the Schlieren component inform the interpretation of RASS spectra to allow the latter to be used as a stand-alone sensor on a UAV.

Published: October 2023

This paper presents a triple-input and four-output type voltage-mode universal active filter based on three current-feedback operational amplifiers (CFOAs). The filter employs three CFOAs, two grounded capacitors, and six resistors. The filter structure has three high-input and three low-output impedances that simultaneously provide band-reject, high-pass, low-pass, and band-pass filtering functions with single-input and four-output type and also implements an all-pass filtering function by connecting three input signals to one input without the use of voltage inverters or switches. The same circuit configuration enables two unique filtering functions: low-pass notch and high-pass notch. Three CFOAs with three high-input and low-output impedance terminals enable cascading without voltage buffers. The circuit is implemented using three commercial off-the-shelf AD844 integrated circuits, two grounded capacitors, and six resistors and further implemented as a CFOA-based chip using three CFOAs, two grounded capacitors, and six resistors. The CFOA-based chip has lower power consumption and higher integration than the AD844-based filter. The circuit was simulated using OrCAD PSpice to verify the AD844-based filter and Synopsys HSpice for post-layout simulation of the CFOA-based chip. The theoretical analysis is validated and confirmed by measurements on an AD844-based filter and a CFOA-based chip.

This paper addresses the concept of Sustainability 4.0 in services, which can be defined as an integrated approach that seeks to balance the dimensions of the triple bottom line (economic, social, and environmental factors) using Industry 4.0, enabling technologies to improve organizational processes. This paper aims to identify the contextual relationships between the sustainable solutions of I4.0 based on the principles and pillars of Industry 4.0 in services while using Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM). The ISM model, composed of 16 sustainable solutions, was developed based on the vision of a law firm manager and validated by 19 experts. As a result, the model presented a six-level hierarchy for sustainable solutions and classified sustainable solutions for law firms as Dependent Sustainable Solutions, Liaison Sustainable Solutions, and Independent Sustainable Solutions. Moreover, this study highlights the importance of sustainable solutions in Industry 4.0 in services, raising awareness of the need for sustainable practices in organizations. Therefore, this research contributes to the advancement of scientific knowledge, offers practical guidance for law firm managers, and promotes sustainability in Industry 4.0 in services, benefiting both academia and society.
North–South Differences and Formation Mechanisms of Green Finance in Chinese Cities
Authors: Shang Haiyan , Wang Susu , Chen Shuwen , Tansuchat Roengchai , Liu Jianxu
Published: October 2023

This paper discusses the north–south difference in green finance in China and its internal mechanism. The entropy method is used to measure the green finance level in China from 2000 to 2022 through seven dimensions of green credit, green investment, green insurance, green support, green bonds, green funds, and green equity. The Dagum Gini coefficient and variance decomposition are used to reveal the differences and sources from the perspectives of north–south space and structure. The QAP method is utilized to explore formation mechanisms of differences. Research findings show that the overall level of green finance is not high, with the southern level higher than northern one. However, spatial differences in the green finance index have slightly narrowed, with regional differences being the major contributor to uneven distribution. Secondly, the difference in green funds is the main structural source of the difference in green finance, and the effect of the difference in green bonds and green funds on the difference in green finance increases from north to south, while the effect of the difference in green credit and green support decreases from north to south. This study will enrich the assessment indicator system, providing a reference for green finance differential situations and collaborative development strategies.

Authors: Guo Jiangli , Gao Lu , Xu Xiangzhou , Xia Junqiang
Published: October 2023

Controlling the river regime in the lower wandering reaches of the Yellow River Basin is important for ecological protection and high-quality development. This study reviews the development of pile groynes suitable for wandering rivers. As a widely used form of reinforced concrete pile, pile groynes, including round and sheet piles, have been built in alluvial rivers in large numbers for many years. Currently, research focuses on improving the stability and erosion resistance of these piles. Here, three types of groynes are discussed according to the construction technology: cast-in situ bored pile, vibratory-driven pile, and jetted precast concrete pile. Detailed discussions are provided regarding their respective applicability, improvement processes and characteristics. In contrast to the other two methods, jetting minimizes the damage to the structure and strength of the concrete pile and is characterized as fast-tracking, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly. Enhancing the safety and practicality of concrete piles can be effectively achieved through improvements in construction techniques, modified construction materials, and multi-structure combination pile designs. Furthermore, in the current context of pursuing a resource-saving and environmentally friendly society, energy conservation and emissions reduction have become focal points in engineering technology development, while still maintaining a strong emphasis on construction quality.
Applying Generalized Type-II Hybrid Censored Samples on Generalized and q-Generalized Extreme Value Distributions under Linear Normalization
Authors: Attwa Rasha Abd El-Wahab , Radwan Taha
Published: October 2023

The generalized extreme value (GEV) distributions have wide applications for describing a variety of random events, such as those that occur during specific survival, financial, or reliability investigations. Also, the q-analogues of GEV distributions, called (q-GEVs), are characterized by their ability to provide more flexibility for modeling, which is due to the influence of the q parameter. In this study, we estimated the parameters of generalized and q-generalized extreme value distributions under linear normalization, called GEVL and q-GEVL, respectively. These parameters were estimated using the maximum likelihood estimator method and are based on the generalized type-II hybrid censored sample (G-Type-II HCS). The confidence intervals for these parameters were evaluated. Also, Shannon entropy was estimated for GEVL and q-GEVL distributions. The accuracy of these parameters and the performance of estimators were demonstrated through a real-life example and a simulation study.
A Fuzzy Parameterized Multiattribute Decision-Making Framework for Supplier Chain Management Based on Picture Fuzzy Soft Information
Authors: Rahman Atiqe Ur , Alballa Tmader , Alqahtani Haifa , Khalifa Hamiden Abd El-Wahed
Published: October 2023

Supplier selection as a multiattribute decision-making (MADM) problem has various inherent uncertainties due to a number of symmetrical variables. In order to handle such information-based uncertainties, rational models like intuitionistic fuzzy sets have already been introduced in the literature. However, a picture fuzzy set (PiFS) with four dimensions of positive, neutral, negative, and rejection is better at capturing and interpreting such kinds of ambiguous information. Additionally, fuzzy parameterization (FPara) is helpful for evaluating the degree of uncertainty in the parameters. This study aims to develop a fuzzy parameterized picture fuzzy soft set (FpPiFSS) by integrating the ideas of PiFS and FPara. This integration is more adaptable and practical since it helps decision makers manage approximation depending on their objectivity and parameterization uncertainty. With the assistance of instructive examples, some of the set-theoretic operations are examined. A decision support framework is constructed using matrix manipulation, preferential weighting, fuzzy parameterized grades based on Pythagorean means, and the approximations of decision makers. This framework proposes a reliable algorithm to evaluate four timber suppliers (initially scrutinized by perusal process) based on eight categorical parameters for real estate projects. In order to accomplish suppliers evaluation, crucial validation outcomes are taken into account, including delivery level, purchase cost, capacity, product quality, lead time, green degree, location, and flexibility. To assess the advantages, dependability, and flexibility of the recommended strategy, comparisons in terms of computation and structure are provided. Consequently, the results are found to be reliable, analog, and consistent despite the use of fuzzy parameterization and picture fuzzy setting.

(1) Background: Localized cutaneous leishmaniasis is a neglected vector-borne disease that has become a serious public health problem in the Yucatan Peninsula. Although more than 60% of cases originate from the state of Quintana Roo, it is one of the least explored areas in terms of incriminating vectors of the Leishmania parasite. Additionally, cases of leishmaniasis have increased substantially in that region in recent years. For this reason, we explored and provided primary evidence of Leishmania DNA in sand fly species from four localities during outbreaks of leishmaniasis in Quintana Roo. We also contributed information on the regional genetic diversity of Leishmania parasites. (2) Methods: Sand flies were collected during several periods from November 2022 to April 2023 using Mosquito Light Circle and Shannon traps, as well as an active entomological search in refuges. For Leishmania detection, we amplified a fragment of 300–350 bp of the internal transcribed spacer subunit 1 (ITS-1). (3) Results: Of the 242 females collected, we detected Leishmania DNA in 25 specimens represented by Bichromomyia olmeca (1), Psathyromyia shannoni (17), Lutzomyia cruciata (4), Psathyromyia undulata (2), and Dampfomyia deleoni (1). The detection of Leishmania in these last two species represents new records for the Yucatan Peninsula and for Mexico. Leishmania (Leishmania) mexicana was the only species detected in the Phlebotominae species, with prevalence values that ranked between 7.41% and 33.33% from specimens collected in the sylvatic areas of Cozumel Island and Petcacab. (4) Conclusions: This study provides the first evidence of infection of Da. deleoni and Pa. undulata by L. (L.) Mexicana. In addition, the presence of three dominant haplotypes in all the evaluated localities was evidenced using the analysis of genetic diversity, and the locality of Petcacab was the one with the circulation of two new haplotypes not previously described in Mexico or neighboring countries. These results highlight the importance of intensive epidemiological surveillance due to the dynamics of transmission of Leishmania between different species.

Published: October 2023

Studies into the viral fraction of complex microbial communities, like in the mammalian gut, have recently garnered much interest. Yet there is still no standardized protocol for extracting viruses from such samples, and the protocols that exist employ procedures that skew the viral community of the sample one way or another. The first step of the extraction pipeline often consists of the basic filtering of macromolecules and bacteria, yet even this affects the viruses in a strain-specific manner. In this study, we investigate a protocol for viral extraction based on ultrafiltration and how the choice of ultrafilter might influence the extracted viral community. Clinical samples (feces, vaginal swabs, and tracheal suction samples) were spiked with a mock community of known phages (T4, c2, Φ6, Φ29, Φx174, and Φ2972), filtered, and quantified using spot and plaque assays to estimate the loss in recovery. The enveloped Φ6 phage is especially severely affected by the choice of filter, but also tailed phages such as T4 and c2 have a reduced infectivity after ultrafiltration. We conclude that the pore size of ultrafilters may affect the recovery of phages in a strain- and sample-dependent manner, suggesting the need for greater thought when selecting filters for virus extraction.

Published: October 2023

Ubiquitin-specific peptidase 22 (Usp22) cleaves ubiquitin moieties from numerous proteins, including histone H2B and transcription factors. Recently, it was reported that Usp22 acts as a negative regulator of interferon-dependent responses. In the current study, we investigated the role of Usp22 deficiency in acute viral infection with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV). We found that the lack of Usp22 on bone marrow-derived cells (Usp22fl/fl Vav1-Cre mice) reduced the induction of type I and II interferons. A limited type I interferon response did not influence virus replication. However, restricted expression of PD-L1 led to increased frequencies of functional virus-specific CD8+ T cells and rapid death of Usp22-deficient mice. CD8+ T cell depletion experiments revealed that accelerated CD8+ T cells were responsible for enhanced lethality in Usp22 deficient mice. In conclusion, we found that the lack of Usp22 generated a pathological CD8+ T cell response, which gave rise to severe disease in mice.

Published: October 2023

This paper presents methods for vehicle state estimation and prediction for autonomous driving. A round intersection is chosen for application of the methods and to illustrate the results as autonomous vehicles have difficulty in handling round intersections. State estimation based on the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) is presented in the paper and then applied to state estimation of vehicles in a round intersection. The microscopic traffic simulator SUMO (Simulation of Urban Mobility) is used to generate realistic traffic in the round intersection for the simulation experiments. Change point detection-based driving behavior prediction using a multipolicy approach is then introduced and evaluated for the round intersection. Finally, these methods are combined for vehicle trajectory estimation based on UKF and policy prediction and demonstrated using the round intersection.

Authors: da Silva Elis Maressa Gonçalves , dos Santos Thaisa Reis , Silva Marcelo José Barbosa
Published: October 2023

Mammary cancer is one of the main causes of death in female dogs worldwide, considering that many risk factors are involved in its development. This study aimed to elucidate the relationship between epidemiological and clinical risk factors with the histopathological diagnosis of malignant mammary tumors in dogs treated at the Veterinary Hospital of the Federal University of Uberlândia, which has one of the first veterinary oncology services in Brazil. A retrospective matched case-control study was conducted to identify risk factors for the development of malignant mammary tumors in dogs. The variables analyzed were size dog, breed, housing, type of diet, and body score. Potential risk factors were selected by univariate analysis (p < 0.25) before multivariate forward binary logistic regression. The most frequent benign tumor was the benign mixed tumor (35.2%), and the most frequent malignant tumor was the mixed carcinoma (27.4%). Size dog, breed, housing, and overweight are predictors of malignant mammary tumors in dogs. The highest risk of developing malignant mammary tumors is associated with large female dogs, Yorkshire or Poodle breeds, living outside the home, or being overweight.
US bank failures Spring 2023 : Part One: Banking stories for seventy-year-old János Száz
Authors: Király Júlia , Mikolasek András
Published: October 2023

In the first part of our two-part study, we summarize the parallel history of the four failed US banks, carefully analysing financial data from the pre- and post-COVID periods. The banks were unable to adequately manage the liquidity shocks caused monetary cycles (first easing, then brutal tightening). Their distorted business model, i.e., their reliance on closely affiliated customers and in particular uninsured deposits, left them vulnerable. But the panic itself was triggered by misinterpretation of HTM portfolios. Second part of the paper, on one hand deals with the in-depth analysis of risks and failures in risk management, on the other hand, discusses some widespread (mis)diagnoses and remedies.

The article is devoted to the ability of capital to neutralize the anti-capitalist and anti-consumer discourse. The following kind of paradox is observed: advertising manipulates, at the same time seeks to appeal to spiritual intentions, standardizes and at the same time offers to emphasize individuality. What was once recognized as standing in opposition to the values of consumption is turning not just into a weak ideological barrier to the spread of consumer culture, but, on the contrary, into a rich material for commerce and advertising discourse. The article analyzes the absorption that touched the image of Che Guevara and anti-capitalist youth subcultures. Commercialization covers clothing paraphernalia of protest communities. Even anti-advertising discourse is captured by consumer networks and commodified. There is a phenomenon of capitalization of protest against capitalism, consumerization of rebellion against consumerism. Scientific rationality, being integrated by capital, rises to the service of commerce and finds new methods of irrational manipulation of consciousness and absorption of protest discourse.
Interpretations of the estate in Soviet cinema
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Fedoseeva -Akimova M.S.
Published: October 2023

The article analyzes the features, dynamics and ways of creating the image of the estate in Soviet cinema on extensive material. Being on the periphery of the cultural context of the era, the estate, nevertheless, proved to be in demand by Soviet cinema. In the course of the work, two main vectors of solving the image of the estate in the tapes of the 1920–1980s were identified: negative reception of the estate and its poetization. If in the first half of the XX century the estate was presented as a product and a bulwark of class inequality, then since the 1960s (“The thaw”) the cinematic image of the estate becomes more developed, turns towards poetization. The article examines in detail the discussion around the movie “The Noble Nest” (1969, directed by A.S. Konchalovsky) as one of the landmark stages of the process of “rehabilitation” of Russian manor culture.
Impact of rice farming on the state of land and water resources of Kuban
Authors:   Economics and Real Estate Management Department, State University of Land Use Planning, Moscow, Goverdovskaya M. D.
Published: October 2023

The article underlines that rice growing in the Kuban is an important strategic direction for the development of the agro-industrial complex, since rice is the most profitable crop among all grains. However, the active development of this industry has led to significant ecological problems. One of the problems is irrational water consumption. The analysis of the distribution of irrigated agricultural lands in the Krasnodar Territory by the depth of groundwater level, humus content in the rice-growing regions of the Krasnodar Territory, the irrigation rate of water consumption and the reclamation state of irrigated agricultural lands made it possible to establish that today less than half of rice fields in the Kuban is in satisfactory conditions, but the rest of the region can have swamp processes and secondary salinization of soils leading to a decrease in soil fertility. In addition, the risk of fresh water scarcity is increasing. Based on the conducted studies, the author identifies the need to develop measures to reduce the water consumption of rice systems and improve the management of land and water resources, and also proposes such measures for rational water consumption, taking into account scientifically based crop rotations and the organization of a special water regime. It has been established that rice production with rational water consumption creates an opportunity to preserve the entire ecosystem of the region.

The introduction of biologically active and mineral compounds into the diet of pigs has a benefi cial eff ect on the course of metabolic processes in the body of animals and makes it possible to have a targeted eff ect on the productive and reproductive traits of animals, as well as increasing the profi tability of pig farming. The purpose of the work was to study the infl uence of biologically active substances in the diet on the productive and reproductive traits of pigs. The conducted studies are devoted to the study of the effectiveness of the use of folic acid and trace element salts in the diet of pregnant sows on their reproductive traits, as well as the growth, development and meat productivity of the young pigs. The feeding diet of the animals of the experimental groups was identical, however, the sows of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th experimental groups in addition to the main diet received biologically active additives folic acid and trace element salts from the fi rst to the last day of pregnancy. It was found that in the 1st control group based on one sow a total of 11,0 piglets were obtained, whereas in the 2nd experimental group there was by 1 piglet more, in the 3rd experimental group by 1,5 heads more, and in the 4th experimental by 2,2 heads more. The use of folic acid and trace element salts in the feeding of sows also had a positive effect on the live weight, absolute and average daily live weight gains of the young pigs. Moreover, the best results were obtained in the 4th experimental group, where sows received folic acid and trace element salts together. So, it is economically justified to use biologically active additives based on folic acid and trace element salts in the diet of pigs, which significantly reduces expenditures of feed per unit of production.

The highest sensitivity to deficiencies in feeding is shown by highly productive cows Holstein breed that has become widespread both in Russia as a whole and in the Urals region. Against the background of many advantages of the breed, there are problems with reproduction and negative energy balance after calving. An innovative approach in feeding is the enrichment of the ration of animals with the energy and carbohydrate additive “Tanrem”, nutrients of which being natural prebiotics and energy sources, are able to activate metabolic processes. The purpose of the research was to study the effect of the energy and carbohydrate additive “Tanrem” on milk productivity and milk composition of cows of Holstein breed. Scientifi c and economic experiment was carried out in LLC “Agro-Alliance” in the Chishminsky district of the Republic of Bashkortostan. For the experiment cows of Holstein breed for the third lactation were selected in the amount of 40 animals, which were provided with the same conditions of housing. In order to select the optimal dosages of the additive the animals were divided into 4 groups. Cows of the 1st control group received the main ration adopted on the farm. Cows of the experimental groups consumed a ration enriched with the energy and carbohydrate additive “Tanrem” in a daily dose, respectively: group 2 – 250, group 3 – 500 and group 4 – 750 g/head. For 305 days of lactation the superiority of cows of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th experimental groups on the control was as follows: 198,2 kg or 2,39 % (p < 0,05), 458,8 kg or 5,53 % (p < 0,001) and 408,9 kg or 4,93 % (p < 0,001), respectively. The data obtained indicate the expediency of enriching the ration of dairy cows with the energy and carbohydrate additive “Tanrem”. The economic analysis confirmed the established fact and indicated that the most effective rate of application of the tested additive is 500 g/head per day.

Corn grain is the most valuable in terms of nutritional value, digestibility and energy intensity. In the grain balance its share is 5–7 %, in the feed – 30–35 %. Today, corn is cultivated in 58 countries on an area of 138–141 million hectares. Corn plays a crucial role in the restoration and expansion of the fodder base. In recent years, due to the need to optimize labor and money costs when cultivating corn, it has become especially difficult to choose the right method of basic tillage for corn. Most authors who study the influence of tillage methods on corn yield believe that disking as the main tillage is inferior to plowing in terms of moisture retention and accumulation, the effect on corn yield and crop contamination. According to some data, one of the elements of corn cultivation technology that have an advantage are hybrids with increased drought resistance, cold resistance, resistance to lodging and fragility of the stem. The purpose of the work was to determine the features and improve the technology of cultivation of corn for grain on ordinary chernozem in the Karachay-Cherkess Republic. The objects of research are medium–ripened, medium-early and early-maturing hybrids DKS 3939, AC 201, Mashuk 171. In the conditions of the Republic the complex infl uence of tillage techniques – disking and plowing, as well as hybrids of foreign and domestic breeding on soil fertility and corn grain productivity was studied. The cultivation of corn hybrids in the zone of unstable moisture has proved a positive agronomic assessment of the treatment method – plowing, which is justified not only by the increase in yield, but also by its economic efficiency.

Kétrészes tanulmányunk első részében a csődbe ment négy amerikai bank történetét mutatjuk be, részletesen elemezve a Covid-válságot megelőző, illetve követő időszak pénzügyi adatait. A bankok nem voltak képesek megfelelően kezelni a hol lazító, hol szigorító monetáris politikai által kiváltott likviditási sokkokat. A torz üzleti modellük, azaz a szorosan összekapcsolt ügyfélkörre való támaszkodás, különös tekintettel a nem biztosított betétek nagy volumenére, sérülékennyé tette őket. A bankpánikot azonban valójában a HTM-portfólió félreértelmezése váltotta ki. A tanulmány második részében majd teljes mélységében áttekintjük a kockázatokat és a kockázatkezelési hibákat, és vitába szállunk néhány közkeletű diagnózissal, valamint az ahhoz kapcsolódó megoldási javaslattal.

En el recurso animado se focaliza en el papel activo que juegan las universidades, específicamente la Universidad de Sevilla, en el compromiso por la consecución de los ODS de la Agenda 2030. Mediante un trabajo previo de diagnóstico de iniciativas de

sostenibilidad en la US, se presentan algunas de ellas, estableciendo un sistema de clasificación que pone en evidencia la heterogeneidad de las prácticas de sostenibilidad y los sectores profesionales involucrados. El vídeo hace una pequeña exposición de los objetivos perseguidos por cada uno de estos proyectos o iniciativas que bien son liderados por investigadores de la propia universidad de Sevilla o en los que participan en colaboración con otras universidades o entidades.

El Proyecto EDUSAS, con su Campaña ODS ¡A la calle!, plantea como objetivo general “Establecer y dar visibilidad a un contexto universitario sostenible y en línea con el desarrollo global que contribuya al cumplimiento de la agenda 2030 y de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS)” vinculado a objetivos específicos, tales como: (OE1.) “Identificar intervenciones, estrategias e iniciativas relacionadas con la implementación de la Agenda 2030 y los ODS en la Universidad de Sevilla, para la consecución del desarrollo global y la sostenibilidad”; (OE2.) “Comunicar, divulgar y difundir el conocimiento científico mediante una estrategia de acciones divulgativas, tanto a la comunidad universitaria como a la ciudadanía general y otras entidades públicas o privadas interesadas. Campaña: ODS ¡A la Calle!”.

En definitiva, este proyecto se basará en la planificación, desarrollo y ejecución de actividades de divulgación científica de calidad orientadas al fomento de la cultura científica y tecnológica de la sociedad, relacionadas con un contexto universitario sostenible y en línea con el desarrollo global, que contribuya al cumplimiento de la Agenda 2030 y de los ODS.
Towards a Curricularized Approach to L2 Hanzi Teaching and Learning
Authors: Coss Matthew
Published: October 2023

The debate surrounding hand-writing Chinese characters (Hanzi) and the best approach to teach Hanzi to second language (L2) learners has persisted for decades. The present volume argues in favor of the e-writing (电写为主，手写为辅) pedagogical model, which advocates a primarily holistic (as opposed to analytical) approach to Hanzi learning (Jiang et al., 2020), emphasizing chunk-based learning for use in communicative tasks within the L2 Chinese classroom. As a complement to this approach, this chapter argues for a systematic analytic approach to Hanzi teaching as a supplement to the holistic learning core to the e-writing approach. While the holistic approach fosters contextual understanding and functional Hanzi proficiency, the analytic approach proposed here enhances deep Hanzi learning and effective long-term retention by providing explicit guidance and practice with character structure and functional components.Importantly, this chapter also disentangles two related but importantly distinct issues: hand-writing (写 汉字) and character learning (学汉字). Aligned to the central thesis of this volume, the approach presented here facilitates the systematic learning and reinforcement of Hanzi knowledge (学汉字) without requiring any hand- writing (写汉字). By combining this chapter’s proposed approach with the e-writing model of Chinese learning, L2 Chinese programs will be best equipped to meet the needs of learners in the 21st century, nurturing a robust understanding of Hanzi for maximal proficiency development and motivation maintenance.
ЗАСТОСУВАННЯ ПРИНЦИПІВ НАССР ПРИ ВИРОБНИЦТВІ СИРІВ ТИПУ ФЕТА МЕТОДОМ УЛЬТРАФІЛЬТРАЦІЇ
Authors: ЄВЕНКО Г. А. , КУНИК О. М. , ЮРОВА Т. А.
Published: October 2023

У статті висвітлено особливості виробництва сиру типу фета методом ультрафільтрації та етапи впровадження системи НАССР під час виробництва сиру. Під час опрацювання і розроблення плану НАССР для виробництва сиру типу фета використовували положення та рекомендації національних стандартів, гармонізованих з міжнародними ДСТУ 4161:2003 «Системи управління безпечністю харчових продуктів. Вимоги», ДСТУ ISO 22000:2007 «Система управління безпечністю харчових продуктів. Вимоги до будь-яких організацій харчового ланцюга», ДСТУ 7996:2015: Сири розсільні. Загальні технічні умови, Рекомендації для малих та середніх підприємств молокопереробної галузі з підготовки та впровадження системи управління безпечністю харчових продуктів на основі концепцій НАССР, Настанову МВ 4.4.5.6.-000-2010 Розробка та запровадження систем управління безпечністю харчових продуктів на основі принципів НАССР. В результаті проведеного дослідження розроблено блок-схему виробництва розсільного сиру типу фета методом ультрафільтрації, в процесі якої відбувається згущення суміші до необхідного ступеня концентрації сухих речовин, внесення ферменту та солі, швидка коагуляція та подальша упаковка готового продукту. Проведено аналіз ризиків небезпечних чинників при виробництві розсільного сиру типу фета, в результаті, якого визначено критичну контрольну точку мікробіологічної природи – пастеризація нормалізованої суміші – етап, на якому можна застосувати захід з контролю, та який є обов’язковим для запобігання загрозам безпеки харчового продукту, усунення такої загрози чи зниження її до прийнятного рівня. Розроблена блок схема виробництва розсільного сиру типу фета методом ультрафільтрації та впровадження принципів НАССР надасть молокопереробним підприємствам ряд переваг: підвищить безпеку та якість готового продукту; підтвердить відповідність продукту нормативній і технічній документації; підвищить довіру споживачів до безпечності сиру.
Revisión de la Perspectiva Intercultural en Programas e Instituciones de Gobierno en La Araucanía
Authors: Quiroz Reyes Cristian , Guerra Salas Denisse
Published: October 2023

Este trabajo presenta los resultados una revisión del acercamiento institucional a través de perspectivas interculturales en la ejecución de tres programas en los ámbitos de salud, educación y desarrollo social en la región de La Araucanía, Chile. Se plantea, a modo de análisis de fuentes oficiales y entrevistas personales, la revisión crítica de la implementación del concepto de interculturalidad en el PESPI, PEIB e INDAP, aplicado principalmente a población mapuche en aquella región. Se concluye que en el enfoque intercultural propuesto por el Estado chileno existiría una asimetría económica, social, política y de conocimiento entre Estado y pueblos indígenas, evidenciado en políticas públicas asistencialistas y, por tanto, basadas en un interculturalismo funcional que promueve el diálogo sin problematizar sus condiciones.
