Published: October 2023

In this study, we present the validation of the AFCI (Analysis and Identification, Find Color, Color Composition, and Implementation) model as a problem-based approach to enhance the quality of multicolor output in open and distance learning materials. The primary objective was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the AFCI model, specifically designed to incorporate two-color separation techniques aimed at reducing costs while improving the quality of multicolor content. Our research encompassed the examination of printed modules and samples across diverse subject areas, including Basic Chemistry, Architecture, Enterprise System Design, and Teacher Profession. To establish the validity of the AFCI model, a comprehensive validation process was conducted, involving focused group discussions with experts specializing in graphic design, printing, and educational materials. The outcomes of this rigorous validation process revealed substantial validity coefficients (rα visibility = 0.98, rα attractiveness = 0.97, rα convenience = 0.91, rα emphasis = 1), affirming the model's effectiveness. Furthermore, the internal consistency of the AFCI model was confirmed with a Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of 0.86. This research significantly contributes to the realm of open and distance learning by introducing an innovative model for improving multicolor content quality. The AFCI model's successful validation underscores its potential to benefit practitioners and educators in developing high-quality teaching materials, thereby enhancing the overall learning experience in open and distance education.

Investigating representations of indigenous peoples and indigenous knowledge in zoos
Authors: Bowers Jonathan Robert , Richmond Gail
Published: October 2023

Many scholars advocate for indigenous knowledge (IK) to be integrated into science education to foster a more inclusive educational environment. Informal science learning spaces provide opportunities for encountering science phenomena and broader perspectives. Zoos have the potential to include IK into their informational signage due to having collections of native plants and animals that are significant to Indigenous communities. The history of zoos being platforms for colonialist ideologies also necessitates acknowledgement of how White Settler colonialism has negatively impacted Indigenous peoples. We therefore investigated how two zoos in North America portray IK and perspectives in zoo sections centering native animals. We found that while both zoos provide strong examples of how IK can be included in zoo signage, certain aspects of IK (particularly that of climate patterns), were largely absent. Additionally, zoo signage largely ignored the impact of settler colonialism on both the natural environment and indigenous cultures.
Thermal analysis of phase change materials storage in solar concenter
Authors: AL HASHMİ Sulaiman , CHEN Mingjie
Published: October 2023

Thermal analysis of high-temperature phase change materials (PCM) is conducted with the consideration of a 20% void and buoyancy-driven convection in a stainless-steel capsule. The effects of the thermal expansion and the volume expansion due to phase change on the energy storage and retrieval process are explored. The used water to fill the void between two different wax paraffin and stearic acid spheres is considered as a potential PCM for concentrated solar power. The charging/discharging process into and from the capsule wall is simulated under different boundary conditions for laminar and turbulent ﬂows. Computational models are conducted by applying an enthalpy-porosity method and volume of ﬂuid method to calculate the transport phenomena within the PCM capsule, including an internal air void. A simplified two-dimensional model of the PCM contained within the spheres is constructed and thermal analyses are performed for the transition from solid to liquid states. Simulated charging process modes are compared with the theory. According to experiments, the temperature distributions from 40-60 mm without and with 60 mm with copper fin have different behavior. The paraffin takes less time than stearic acid for total transformation at a rate of 0.5. The size of the sphere increases over the amount of time and the phase of the sphere to complete changes as stearic acid expands more than paraffin during the transition. Inserting a rectangular fin, that is made from copper into the ball reduces the cycle time and increases output.

Objective: To identify the overload of informal caregivers of people with pressure injuries in home care. Method: This is a descriptive and cross-sectional study carried out with 29 patients with pressure injuries and 29 informal caregivers, in March 2019, in the interior of São Paulo state, Brazil. An instrument was used to assess the sociodemographic and clinical profile of patients and caregivers, in addition to the Caregiver Burden Scale. Results: People with pressure ulcers were mostly men, elderly and with neurological problems. There was a predominance of female caregivers, with a mean age of 56 years. In the analysis of care overload, the most affected domains were isolation (x = 2.38), followed by general tension (x= 2.31) and disappointment (x = 2.06). The mean total burden was 2.02. As factors contributing to the burden, age, duration of injury, time dedicated to care, degree of kinship between the caregiver and the person with pressure injury and the presence of health problems self-reported by caregivers stood out. Conclusion: Informal caregivers of people with pressure injury have subjective impacts measured by the burden scale, mainly in the domains of isolation, general tension and disappointment, as a result of the involvement of a family member. Understanding the overload experience of care overload can contribute to the development of care strategies for family members/informal caregivers, to reduce the risk of exhaustion and illness.

Scientific and practical results and technical recommendations in the field of adaptive application of methods and means of radio-vision recognition of ultra-short pulse signals for radio monitoring and identification of channels of digital ultra-wideband radio communication are presented. As methods of research in the work are used the fundamental provisions of statistical radio engineering, as well as algorithms for the optimal detection of signals with a priori known parameters under the influence of additive white noise. As a fight against interference in the propagation of ultrashort pulses, a convolutional discriminatory method of compensation of resonant radio clicks is proposed. It was found that when using the discriminative parameters at a signal to noise ratio of 12 dB, the recognition probability is not less than 0.9.
Alienation and Identity Crisis in the Apocalyptic World of Katherine Anne Porter
Authors: Rusak Justyna
Published: October 2023

The article explores Katherine Anne Porter’s existential concerns reflected in her fiction. Applying the tools of biographical and historical criticism as well as textual analysis, the study delves into the disintegrating apocalyptic fictional world of the American South in the tumult of the Great War and the Spanish influenza that constitutes a mirror of the author’s own personal tribulations in the context of social and personal upheavals. Strands of Existentialism represented by both Christian and atheist thinkers have been adopted as a background against which Modernist anxieties could be best understood and analyzed. The recurrent motif of time with its elusiveness and relativity tends to combine the seemingly dissimilar voices of selected Existentialists, fictional characters and the author herself in their search for truth, identity and meaning, emphasizing subjectivity as the essential element of cognition. As human anxieties are impossible to be encompassed and cast in the clearly defined borders, spiritual concerns outlined in the article tend to remain a riddle open to a multitude of explanations. However, indirect and implied inclinations towards Christian theology alluded to both in the writer’s works and life suggest the adoption of a Kierkegaardian ‘leap of faith’ by the existential sceptic into an orderly essentialism of the Catholic religion as a solution to all anxieties and uncertainties of life.
Enforcing the Legal Principle of Duty of Care in Corporate Human Rights Violations and Environmental Damage Cases in Developing Countries
Authors: Nartey Emmanuel K
Published: October 2023

Corporate accountability for human rights violations in international legal systems has proven to be a watershed. This is because there are inadequacies in the existing accountability mechanisms as well as several other legal problems and factual obstacles that hinder the enforcement of human rights law and international criminal law. This is also attributed to the problematic issues that persist, particularly with respect to the following: corporate criminal liability, the extraterritorial application of law, the attribution of criminal actions to specific agents, the requirements of accountability, the difficulties of extraterritorial investigations, and obtaining sufficient evidence for human rights violations. This article examines corporate accountability in the concept of the principle of duty of care. It is argued that the duty of care principle will help breach the gap in corporate liability for human rights abuses and environmental damages. Furthermore, the article analyses the definition of accountability, the mechanism of accountability, and the components of accountability are extensively discussed. It is also observed that the legal concept of corporate accountability should include responsibility, answerability, blameworthiness, liability and sanctions. Therefore, this article examines the key elements that are required for establishing accountability for non-state actors. A diagram is used to explain the components of the various forms of accountability and how accountability creates a legal duty of care for non-state actors, such as corporations.

Modelling lateral meltwater flow and superimposed ice formation atop Greenland's near-surface ice slabs
Authors: Clerx Nicole , Machguth Horst , Tedstone Andrew , van As Dirk
Published: October 2023

At high elevations on the Greenland ice sheet meltwater percolates and refreezes in place, and hence does not contribute to mass loss. However, meltwater generation and associated surface runoff is occurring from increasingly higher altitudes, causing changes in firn stratigraphy that have led to the presence of near-surface ice slabs. These ice slabs force meltwater to flow laterally instead of percolating downwards. Here we present a simple, physics-based quasi 2D-model to simulate lateral meltwater runoff and superimposed ice formation on top of ice slabs. Using an Eulerian Darcy flow scheme, the model calculates how far meltwater can travel within a melt season and when it appears at the snow surface. Results show that lateral flow is a highly efficient mechanism for runoff, as in any model grid cell lateral outflow is over 30 times larger than the amount of meltwater generated in situ. Superimposed ice formation can retain up to 40% of the available meltwater, and generally delays visible runoff. Validating the model against field or remote sensing data remains challenging, but the results presented here are a first step towards a more comprehensive understanding and description of the hydrological system in the accumulation zone of the southwestern Greenland ice sheet.
Investigating solitude as tool for downregulation of daily arousal using Ecological Momentary Assessments - STAGE 2 RR
Authors: Nguyen Thuy-vy Thi , Konu Delali , Forbes Samuel H.
Published: October 2023

IntroductionThis research explored arousal levels as a motivating factor for solitude-seeking. We hypothesized that solitude becomes more desirable when high-arousal emotions were heightened and individual differences in extraversion and neuroticism would moderate this pattern. MethodsWe tracked individuals' hourly experiences throughout a day. We assessed their high-arousal positive (e.g., excitement) and negative emotions (e.g., tension), whether they were alone or with others, and their preferred situation at the time of the signal. We gathered 4338 surveys from 362 participants, with 103 participants completing all hourly surveys. Results Preference for and incidence of solitude changed throughout the day. Contrary to our hypotheses, lagged analyses did not indicate high-arousal emotions predicting reports of being alone an hour later. However, individuals were more likely to express a preference for solitude while experiencing high-arousal negative emotions, and less so while experiencing positive emotions. Younger individuals display stronger preference for solitude during experiences of high-arousal negative emotions. Extraversion and neuroticism did not moderate these patterns. ConclusionThe results highlight the distinctive appeal of solitude as a space for young adults to deal with negative emotions. We discussed how these findings are connected to existing literature and implications for future research.
The influence of affective voice on sound distance perception

Published: October 2023

Affective stimuli in our environment are important sources of information as they indicate reward or threat and thereby relate to approach and avoidance behavior. Previous findings have indicated that affective stimuli do not only influence behavioral responses but may also bias the perception of the stimuli (e.g., size, height, distance). Typically, such biases have been described in the visual domain, while it remains unclear whether similar effects can be observed for auditory stimuli. The present study asked whether the affective dimension of an auditory voice stimulus (i.e., angry vs neutral) influences the distance at which the stimulus is perceived. Therefore, two Virtual Reality experiments were conducted in which participants listened to auditory stimuli played via loudspeakers located at positions unknown to the participants. In the first experiment (N = 44), participants had to actively place a visually presented virtual agent or virtual loudspeaker in an empty room at the perceived sound source location. In the second experiment (N = 32), participants were placed in front of several virtual agents or virtual loudspeakers and had to indicate the sound source by looking at the person or loudspeaker who was thought to produce the sound. Results in both preregistered experiments consistently showed that participants estimated the location of angry voice stimuli at greater distances than the location of neutral voice stimuli. We discuss that neither emotional nor motivational biases can account for these results. Instead, distance estimates seem to rely on listeners' representations regarding the relationship between vocal affect and acoustic characteristics.
