Published: December 2023

Abstract:

Language is not only used for daily conversation, but also is used in education, research, and science both written and spoken. There are four basic skills in learning English should be mastered by students such as speaking, listening, reading and writing. To support all of four skills students should master speaking. One of the ways in improving speaking skill is through the Color Vowel Chart use. The aims of this study are divided into two; first, exploring information about the Color Vowel Chart, the techniques/strategies, the ways/procedures, and the assessment used in implementing the Color Vowel Chart in teaching speaking, second, investigating information in terms of students’ speaking achievement. This research is a qualitative study that uses theses, articles/journals and other literature as the main data sources where research that produces information in the form of notes and descriptive data contained in the text under study. The approach used in this research is a qualitative approach with descriptive method. The findings show that the students can increase their speaking skill by using the Color Vowel Chart. This happens because the success of using Color Vowel Chart in teaching speaking in is determined by some factors such as the media, the techniques/strategies, the ways/procedures, and the assessment used in implementing the Color Vowel Chart in teaching speaking. It proves by the results of the previous researchers’ studies. The previous researchers also used the Color Vowel Chart, techniques/strategies, ways/procedures, and the assessment.  Fortunately, students can improve their speaking skill by the Color Vowel Chart.

A felsőoktatásban működő informatikai rendszerek védelmével kapcsolatban meglehetősen kevés tudományos mű áll rendelkezésre. Csak néhány publikusan elérhető nemzetközi forrásban lelhetők fel olyan adatok, melyek részleges képet nyújtanak az oktatási intézményeket érintő informatikai incidensekről. Tekintettel arra, hogy hazai viszonylatban ezek elenyésző mértékben állnak rendelkezésre, a magyar oktatási intézmények kibervédelmi incidenseinek számáról, azok okairól és a támadások motivációiról nincs reális képünk. Adatok hiányában a nemzetközi tapasztalatokra hagyatkozhatunk: az azokból kiolvasható tendenciák várhatóan hazai viszonylatban is érvényesek lehetnek. Cikkemben egy ilyen adatforrás elemzését végzem el.

Flood is a natural phenomenon that often occurs in several areas of Badung Regency. Losses result in damage to buildings, roads, and other public facilities. Floods are caused by a more sloping land topography, changes in land use to dense settlements, and soil conditions. This study aims to deal with flooding by evaluating the existing canal on Jalan Kunti II Seminyak. The method used for testing data consistency is the RAPS (Rescaled Adjusted Partial Sums) method. The distribution used is Log Person Type III. Testing of frequency distribution used the Smirnov – Kolmogorov Test and the Chi-Square Test. Analysis of rainfall intensity using the Mononobe formula. Calculation of planned flood discharge (Q) uses the Rational method, Nakayasu method, and theoretical discharge control for 2, 5, 10, and 25-year return periods with the existing channel capacity. The result of the analysis shows that the theoretical discharge with a return period has met of planned flood discharge so that the drainage on Jalan Kunti can accommodate the planned flood with a return period of 10 years. Where the drainage capacity of Jalan Kunti is 0,412 m3/second & 0,461 m3/second. The drainage ditch with a capacity of 200 m3/second to Tukad Mati has not been able to accommodate the planned flood discharge for the 25-year return period of 242.33 m3/second. The Tukad Mati channel for the existing Q 675,825 m3/second has been able to accommodate the flood discharge Q at the 25-year return period of 314.49 m3/second.

A sanitary system is a supporting component designed to meet the clean water requirements of a building, primarily for sanitation activities. The average sanitary equipment used typically requires a shower pressure of ±1 Bar. However, the shower pressure can be significantly affected by factors such as the distance from the top tank and the building's layout, considering only the pressure due to gravity. To address inadequate shower pressure, an auxiliary pump known as a booster pump is necessary. The need for a booster pump is determined by the cumulative demand from plumbing equipment, where the total capacity required is 6057 liters/hour. To address this demand, the system employs two pump units, each with a capacity of 3 m3/hour. The distribution pipes utilized in the system adhere to established standards and are made of random polypropylene with a diameter of 2 inches and a flow rate of 0.005889 m3/second. The overall head loss resulting from this installation amounts to 31.62 meters. To accommodate the booster system, a pressure tank with a capacity of 67 liters is employed. The minimum working pressure required for the pumps is 1.8 Bar.

The role of structural mechanisms responsible for the consequent staging of damage-failure transition as the combination and continuity of ductile and creep kinetics of the structure evolution and the modeling in dwell fatigue regime. Damage-failure transition is considered as critical phenomena, the structural-scaling transition, when the damage develops as specific phase with characteristic stages: nucleation of new phase and the phase growth kinetics. In the case of dwell fatigue, the nucleation stage is associated with slip localization, faceting, voids and microcrack initiation; the phase growth kinetics has the relation to specific non-linearity of the free energy release responsible for the staging of damage-failure transition. Statistically based phenomenological model of damage-failure transition specified the links of macroscopic material parameters with structural parameters responsible for the influence of microstructure on the structure sensitive mechanical properties. The developed conception of modeling of Ti alloys based on the duality of damage kinetics in dwell fatigue loads allowed us to propose the strategy of structural study to provide in perspective the links of structural parameters of /phases with phenomenological parameters responsible for different mechanisms of damage accumulation at LCF and stress hold regimes.
The impact of full-scale armed conflict on water bodies as water supply sources
Authors: Velychko Svitlana , Dupliak Olena
Published: December 2023

Water resources are the basic component of sustainable development of the country. Water resources are unevenly distributed across the territory of Ukraine, most settlements and enterprises located in the northern, eastern and southern regions use surface water for water supply. The armed conflict on the territory of Ukraine directly and indirectly affects the state of water bodies, as well as the provision of basic human needs - clean drinking water. With the beginning of conflict on the territory of Ukraine in 2014, water resources regularly suffer from russian terrorist actions. The aggressor uses water resources as natural obstacles, uses the destructive effect of water to kill Ukrainians and cause maximum damage to Ukrainian economy. Also, the destruction of the water treatment and water supply system is used by russian troops as a means of pressure creating water scarcity and terrible sanitary conditions in populated areas. The impact on water resources during armed conflicts in different parts of the world have common features and significant features depending on the level of the conflict and the technology of the water supply system itself. First of all, the impact of armed conflicts on water resources is direct and indirect. The direct impact on water resources as water sources is the direct destruction of water reservoirs, water intake structures and water pipes, contamination of water bodies with the remains of sunken military equipment, mines and chemicals released into the water during the decomposition of weapons. Indirect impact on water sources is in some cases more threatening than direct. The destruction of containers with oil products, chemical substances, fertilizers, which with rainwater or directly fall into water bodies, has much greater damage than the direct impact of sunk military equipment. Forest and meadows fires and other surface cover damages lead to the reduction of the lag time to the river on the catchment area, floods increasing, flooding of larger areas, increasing amount of litter, chemical pollution, and plastics in the rivers. In most of the military conflicts described in the literature, a significant deterioration of water quality in rivers is noted, associated with the discharge of both domestic and industrial wastewater. There is the destruction of wastewater treatment plants, the inability to deliver chemicals for treatment, the inability to control unauthorized discharges of wastewater leads to the contamination of the surface water sources. The report analyses the results of surface water quality researches which officially published by the Water Resources Agency of Ukraine and other governmental and scientific organizations. Monitoring of the surface water quality is carried out on the controlled part of the Ukraine, it is not yet possible to assess the consequences of armed conflict and russian activities on the captured territories.

Published: December 2023

Supplying consumers with drinking water whose quality indicators meet regulatory requirements is one of the most important tasks of the water supply industry. The problem of water supply in rural settlements is particularly acute, since more than 38% of rural water pipes, from which samples were taken for laboratory research, did not meet the requirements of the quality standard in terms of sanitary-chemical and microbiological indicators. At the same time, only a quarter of Ukrainian villages are provided with centralized water supply, and the rest of rural consumers still use water from individual water intakes, which in many cases are in an unsatisfactory sanitary and technical condition. On the example of the village of Velyka Oleksandrivka, Boryspil district, Kyiv region, where more than 6,000 people live, ways to solve the problem of providing consumers with drinking water of standard quality are shown. On the basis of laboratory analysis of the sample and studies of water supply facilities in this settlement, the causes of unsatisfactory water quality in the centralized agricultural water supply system were determined, the consequences of using such water were analyzed, and recommendations were developed to improve the situation. These recommendations refer to replacing the water supply network with corrosion-resistant polyethylene pipes; application of modern effective technologies for de-ironing groundwater using an aerator, bioreactor and contact-clarifying filter; automation of the joint operation of the water tower and the well pump.

Materialization Mechanics: Bridging Physics to The Biblical Gospel of Prosperity
Authors: Leong David
Published: December 2023

This study explores the intersection of quantum mechanics and spiritual beliefs, particularly the Biblical Gospel of Prosperity, to understand the role of consciousness in manifesting material reality. The paper examines how observation in quantum mechanics – the collapse of the wave function into a concrete state – resonates with the Biblical principle of belief actualizing potential. It argues that, as quantum entities exist in a state of potential realized upon observation, the human mind, when aligned with divine intention and attentive faith, can shift reality onto a path of prosperity.

Incorporating quantum and biblical references, the paper delves into the concepts of ‘intention’ and ‘attention’ as transformative forces. It discusses how, within the quantum framework, the observer's mind influences the materialization of potential outcomes. Analogously, it correlates to the Biblical assertion that faith and intention can invoke God’s will to provide the conditions necessary for prosperity.

The discussion is anchored in scriptural exegesis and interpretations of prosperity within a Biblical context, juxtaposed with the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics and the theory of quantum consciousness. It proposes a model where the mind’s role in reality creation is a collaborative process with the divine, reflecting a synergy between spiritual belief and scientific understanding.

This interdisciplinary approach aims to bridge the gap between science and spirituality, suggesting that Materialization Mechanics in the physical world and the metaphysical teachings of prosperity are not mutually exclusive but are interconnected realms influenced by human consciousness and divine providence.
The Chinese View on Time – A Reflection on The Concept of Time in Dao/Yijing And Modern Science
Authors: Leong David
Published: December 2023

This paper investigates the intricate relationship between consciousness, time, and free will action by human agents intermediated between the construct of Heaven and Earth. By conducting a comprehensive literature review across different disciplines, such as Chinese philosophy, and reflecting on time and related ideas in _Yijing_, the time perspective in the arrow of time in modern science, insights into the nature of time and its implications can be gained.

While the second law of thermodynamics supports a one-directional time arrow, microscopic fluctuations complicate this understanding. In addition, cultural and historical factors have influenced our understanding of time, highlighting the need for interdisciplinary inquiry. The research challenges causality principles and introduces a Co-Occurrence Time Model, raising questions about the independence of time from an observer. The study emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive approach to understanding human experience and calls for further investigation into these concepts. The paper underscores the need to explore the multifaceted aspects of time, consciousness, and free will to broaden our understanding of the world and our place within the 天人地 _tian ren di _framework.

Authors: Canabal Berlanga Alfonso
Published: December 2023

RESUMEN:

Objetivo. En este trabajo se plantea como objetivo examinar y comparar las diferentes concepciones de responsabilidad y relación con “el Otro” en dos diferentes autores representativos que han tratado de forma notable estos conceptos, profundizando en la subjetividad, libertad y la experiencia del mundo y de la propia existencia.

Diseño. Se trata de un Estudio en forma de breve ensayo con un análisis crítico de la temática analizada.

Originalidad /valor. Se trata de un análisis comparativo entre dos grandes filósofos enmarcados en la fenomenología de la existencia en aspectos concretos de su pensamiento.

Hallazgos. Los dos autores que analizaremos han conocido la fenomenología de Husserl y Heidegger, que fue para ellos un punto de partida con gran influencia en su pensamiento, no obstante, ambos autores tuvieron un posicionamiento y desarrollo propio y en parte divergente entre ellos en gran parte de su pensamiento, llegando a constituirse como auténticas referencias de su tiempo y que actualmente mantienen un gran interés e influencia en la filosofía contemporánea. Analizaré comparativamente dos grandes autores como son, Emmanuel Lévinas y Jean Paul Sartre.

Conclusiones. En ellos veremos formas diferentes y hasta cierto punto complementarias de abordar la libertad, responsabilidad y la relación con el otro, en uno de forma más ontológica y en el otro con una visión desde la ética.
Un retrato del éxito y la otredad. Análisis del origen del altruismo y su sentido biológico, psicológico y antropológico
Authors: Ramos Ferreira Joana
Published: December 2023

Cada concepción de la persona responde a un modelo antropológico determinado. Sin embargo, todas confluyen como mínimo, en dos aspectos: todas las personas son receptoras de su vida y todas comparten un anhelo último de felicidad. Pero, ¿qué implicaciones tiene esto en la búsqueda del éxito del hombre? ¿Es compatible con la vinculación al otro? ¿Qué implica ser altruista y qué rol desempeña esta conducta en la consecución del éxito? ¿Es el ser humano altruista de forma innata? De este modo, se pretende analizar el fenómeno del altruismo, su origen y su sentido en la persecución del éxito de la persona desde las dimensiones biológica, psicológica y antropológica que conforman a la persona.

Ülkemizde birçok şehri yıkıcı etkisi altına alan, deprem fırtınasında Türkiye’nin ve Dünya’nın çeşitli bölgelerinden Veteriner Hekimler, ilk saatlerden itibaren afet bölgesinde organize olarak tüm meslek örgütlerine örnek olabilecek kapsamlı bir çalışma gerçekleştirdiler. Çalışmaların tamamı gönüllü veteriner hekimler, Türk Veteriner Hekimleri Birliği (TVHB), mülki idari birimler ve yerel yönetimlerin destekleriyle gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yaşanan afet ne olursa olsun bir şehrin yeniden yapılanmasının sadece binalarla değil yaşayan insanların hayatlarına devam edebilmeleriyle mümkün olacağı bilinmektedir. Yüzyılın felaketi olarak nitelendirilen afet ardından Hatay ilinde Hayvan Sağlığı Koordinasyonunda veteriner hekimler tarafından yapılan çalışmaların değerlendirilmesi ve sunulması; daha sonra yaşanacak afetlerde efektif yol alınması için hem veteriner hekimliği hem de diğer meslek birlikleri tarafından örnek olarak kullanılabilecek ve afet yönetimi alanında katkı sağlayacaktır.

Perioperatively in BPH patients who underwent TURP action caused thermoregulation disturbances which resulted in a decrease in temperature (hypothermia). This can occur due to exposure to environmental temperatures that are too extreme and the effects of anesthetic drugs during intraoperatively which can cause vasodilation of blood vessels and blocked sympathetic nerves so that they dominate the performance of the parasympathetic nerves. The purpose of the study was to determine the effectiveness of the Blanket Warmer in perioperative TURP patients at the Central Surgical Installation of Tarakan Hospital, Jakarta. The design of this study used a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest with control group design. The research sample was 48 respondents of TURP perioperative patients. The sampling technique was accidental sampling, the statistical test used was Paired t test. The results of the univariate analysis showed that the highest age was 50 years, about 89%, a history of drug consumption 54.2%, and a history of alcohol consumption as much as 29.2%. Bivariate test analysis between the intervention group and the control group obtained a p value of 0.001 <0.05, which means that there is a significant difference in the two groups. The multivariate test obtained p value > 0.05, meaning that the variables of age, history of drug consumption and history of alcohol consumption did not have a significant effect on thermoregulation stability. That there is an effect of giving a Blanket Warmer on the stability of thermoregulation in perioperative TURP patients. Suggestions for further research that a blanet warmer can stabilize thermoregulation in perioperative TURP patients at the Central Surgical Installation of Tarakan Hospital Jakarta.

The issue of nurse absenteeism is a critical factor that significantly impacts the quality of nursing services. As a result, identifying these factors are of paramount importance for nursing managers. Therefore, the aim of this research was to investigate and identify the factors associated with nurses' absenteeism in clinical settings. This review study identified 194 English and Persian articles by searching PubMed, Google Scholar search engine, and the Scientific Information Database using the keywords of Absenteeism, Hospital, and Nurses from 2015 to 2021, with no restrictions on the type of research. After carefully reading and evaluating the articles, eight papers were included in the study based on the research aims and objectives. Based on the findings, several factors contribute to nurses' absenteeism, including illness, managerial and organizational issues, prolonged work shifts and fatigue caused by working with patients, stress and job dissatisfaction, and psychological factors. Nursing managers need to ensure that nurses have good working conditions by considering different factors affecting their physical and mental well-being. They should also align the organization's goals with the nurses' objectives as much as possible.

Fertility, a fundamental physiological process for individuals and society, can be regarded as a prerequisite for any social-economic development. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the awareness and attitude of medical sciences students and related factors towards fertility. The current narrative review study was conducted based on the search of the PubMed, Scopus, Scientific Information Database, and Magiran and Google Scholar search engine within the time frame of 2000 to 2022, according to title, abstract, and keywords, using advanced search strategies and appropriate operators. The keywords for article extraction include reproductive, child-having, fertility, and childbearing. The inclusion criteria were full-text articles in Persian and English. The exclusion criteria were lack of access to the full text of the article, review articles and qualitative studies. After searching the databases, 788 studies were found, and after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria and removing duplicates, 27 articles were included in the study. The results showed a positive attitude of students towards parenthood and childbearing. Women were more concerned than men about having a child while studying and its impact on their job market position. Half of the women intended to become pregnant after the age of 35. Most students had little knowledge about the decrease in fertility with increasing age, but women were more aware of the effect of age on fertility than men. The importance of parenthood was higher among non-medical students, especially younger ones. In sum, based on the findings, considering the low level of student's knowledge about the appropriate age and time for fertility in the menstrual cycle and the success rate of assisted reproductive techniques, it is necessary to take a step toward increasing students' fertility awareness by holding educational workshops and creating educational websites.
Mısır’da Modern Tıbbın Doğuşuna Dair Bir Literatür Değerlendirmesi
Authors: GÜNER ÖZDEN Selda
Published: December 2023

Bugün Türkiye’de modern tıbbın doğuş tarihi Osmanlı İmparatorluğu zaviyesinden İstanbul merkezli olarak anlatılmaktadır. İmparatorluk coğrafyasının genişliği düşünüldüğünde tıp reformunu farklı zaviyelerden değerlendirmenin sağlayacağı kıyas imkânı önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı 19. Yüzyılda Mısır’da tıp eğitim ve hizmeti alanında yapılan reformlara dair çağdaş literatürün bir analizini yapmaktır. J. Heyworth-Dunne, Laverne Kuhnke, Amira el-Azhary Sonbol, Christian Jean Dubois, Serge Jagailloux, Khaled Fahmy, Abul-Magd’nin eserlerinden hareketle modern Mısır tıp tarihinin 19. Yüzyıl başlarındaki durumu ve hedefleri incelenecektir. Bu makale ayrıca, modern literatürde siyasi ve uluslararası ilişkiler alanın dışında, başka bir açıdan Mısır’da bireyi ve toplumu ilgilendiren sağlık kurumunun dönüşümünü merkeze almaktadır. Özellikle yüzyılın ilk yarısında Mısır’da tıp üzerine araştırmalar, geleneksel tıbbın ve inancın içine modern tıp uygulamalarının nasıl uyum sağladığına odaklanmaktadır. 1882’de Mısır’ın İngiliz kolonyal idaresi altına girmesinden önce modern tıp eğitiminin ve profesyonelleşmenin var olduğunu bu çalışmalar kanıtlamaktadır. Buna göre, yerli doktorlar, ebeler (hekime), berber cerrahlar mısır halkının modern tıpla ilişkisini kuran aracılardı. Nitekim Mısır’da tıp mesleği Fransız Dr. Clot (1793-1868)’un Mehmed Ali Paşa emriyle kurduğu ve yabancı doktorların eğitim verdiği Ebu Za’abel askeri hastane ve tıp okulunda doğmuştur. Bu bilgilere istinaden Mısır’da ulusal kimliğin teşekkülünde tıp reformunun rolünü tıp eğitimi için gerekli Arapça dilinde ilk, orta ve lise eğitimini gerekli kıldığı için önemli kabul etmekteyiz.
