MULTI-THEORETICAL EXPLICATION OF EXPERIMENTAL TYPOGRAPHY: THE CONTEXT OF 21ST CENTURY LITERARY TEXTS
Authors: ALNEAIMI NORA AHMED L.
Published: July 2024

This study is a multi-theoretical explication of selected 21st-century literary texts with a focus on determining how literary pieces with experimental typography can be analyzed which places emphasis on a literary primer that can be produced from the textual analysis, interpretation, and explication of the texts analyzed. This research study examines the significance of experimental typography in selected literary texts, specifically focusing on Tahereh Mafi’s Shatter Me Novel, Austin Kleon’s Newspaper Blackout, and shape poetry. The findings revealed that authors employ various types of experimental typography to convey additional layers of meaning in their works. The analysis of Tahereh Mafi's novel "Shatter Me" identifies the use of strikethrough, the management of space, and the unconventional use of mechanics as experimental typography techniques. In blackout poetry, the interaction between visual and textual elements through the use of semiotics plays a vital role in conveying the intended message. Shape poetry, on the other hand, integrates language, design, and visual representation to create a cohesive composition, offering a unique and visually engaging reading experience. Based on the findings, it is concluded that writers utilize multiple modalities manifested in experimental typography, embedding symbolism in literature. Readers must recognize these modalities and analyze their impact on literary elements to develop accurate interpretations. The study recommends further exploration of 21st-century literary analysis, emphasizing works incorporating experimental typography and innovative forms of literary expression. It suggests making a primer on experimental typography available to literature students to enhance their understanding of typography's expressive potential. Additionally, the study proposes exploring other modalities employed by modern writers and testing the primer's usability in schools to optimize its impact on students' learning experiences and curriculum enhancement. This research contributes to the understanding and appreciation of experimental typography in contemporary literature.

Authors: Karimu Abdulai , Osman Adul-Razak , Clement Ayariga , Yahaya Iddrisu
Published: July 2024

Fruits like mangoes are produced in large quantities during the peak season, and high postharvest losses occur due to lack of appropriate storage and handling structures. The main goal of this study was to design and construct a mixed-mode natural convection (MMNC) solar dryer for drying of mango slices. The dryer was designed using AutoCAD and constructed with wood and glass using basic woodworking tools and processes. The developed dryer has a direct collector, a vertical collector, and an indirect collector. The drying chamber has two removable frames with 5 shelves each, a total drying area of 2.54 m2 and a capacity of 10 kg of mango slices per batch. The dryer is fitted with caster wheels for easy turning and positioning. Test conducted with 940 g of fresh mango slices resulted in effective drying after 17 hours, from a moisture content of approximately 90% (wb) reduced to 17% (wb). The drying rate was found to be 4.3%/hr. The maximum temperature obtained in the drying chamber was 54.3 ℃ at a maximum ambient temperature of 37.6 ℃. The average temperature-rise in the drying chamber compared to the ambient temperature was 11.5 ℃. The dryer is therefore recommended for use both domestically and by small-scale food processors since it is more hygienic and has proven to be more efficient than open-air sun drying.

PSYCHOLOGICAL STUDY OF AGE CRISES IN CHILDREN’S DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Soltanova İsbandiyarova Qamza
Published: July 2024

The article examines age crises that manifest themselves in children’s mental development. The study showed that one of the criteria for the successful course of the crisis and cognitive development, in general, is the ratio of negative and constructive symptoms. Correlation analysis also revealed some relationships between the psychological characteristics of the crisis and indicators of readiness to learn. The research showed that the obtained data are not unambiguous. Greater expression of adult behaviour corresponds to higher levels of visual linear thinking (p < 0.01) and visual-motor coordination, the ability to move correctly (p < 0.05). Argument is also positively related to imaginative thinking (p < 0.05). The higher the child’s cognitive motivation and ability to concentrate, the more general questions and new topics he has in communication (p <0.05). These contradictions show that constructive, neutral symptoms and an active form of negativism (argument) with a high level of motivation and intellectual preparation serve the normal course of the crisis. Passive forms of negativist behavioural reactions, on the contrary, are more common in children with a low level of speech development.

The respiratory system is divided into respiratory pathways (nose, nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs) and gas exchange sites (respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs, and alveoli). The upper respiratory tract includes the nose and pharynx, while the lower respiratory tract encompasses the larynx, trachea, and lungs. All these organs contribute to the essential function of the system, which is the exchange of gases between the environment and the blood, transporting oxygen to the cells and removing carbon dioxide. The inspired air is filtered, humidified, and warmed before reaching the lungs, where the diffusion of oxygen into the blood and the expulsion of carbon dioxide occur. Therefore, the lungs are the organs that contain the structures responsible for gas exchange and are of utmost importance. Despite their similarity, lungs exhibit differences both within the same animal and across different species. In this context, this work aims to present the descriptive and topographic anatomy of domestic animals, highlighting the differences between species.

Published: July 2024

Tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus) is a tuber crop that is consumed as snack in sub Saharan African. It is known for its sweetness and numerous benefits. Despite the nutritional quality and health benefit of tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus) tuber crop, increased consumption integrated with the associated risk of disease to consumers is a matter of great concern because of the health practice of the harvester, consumers and vendors. Thus, if tiger nut is exposed to microbial contamination, it can impose public health treat. Contamination of tiger nut tubers could either be physical, chemical, microbial or a combination of any of them, through post-harvest processes, handling, packaging, storage and retailing. Consumption of contaminated tiger nut tubers and utilisation of the tubers to produce edible products will invariably result in contaminated tiger nut-derived products if no further treatment to reduce or completely eliminate the contaminants is applied. In order to boost the prospect of tiger nut tubers and assure safe tiger nut derived products in sub Saharan African countries, it is important to prevent tiger nut tubers and tiger nut-derived products from any form of contamination. Therefore, it is paramount to review recent research findings on contamination of tiger nut tubers and tiger nut-derived products in order to effectively implement prevention strategies. This will help to promote food safety and food security in sub Saharan African countries.

Ao longo do desenvolvimento dos indivíduos, vários fatores podem influenciar em danos afetivos. No contexto familiar, destaca-se a influência do cuidado parental negligente ou da sua ausência, que pode desencadear prejuízos no desenvolvimento e bem-estar dos filhos. O abandono afetivo, nesse contexto, pode resultar em problemas de natureza física, emocional e psicológica na criança, tanto de forma transitória quanto duradoura ao longo da vida. Dessa forma, pretende-se no objetivo geral, investigar o cabimento da responsabilidade civil na relação entre pais e filhos, decorrentes do abandono afetivo e objetivos específicos analisar o conceito de abandono afetivo e as causas que levam os pais a praticarem esse tipo de ilícito; descrever as consequências do abandono afetivo para as crianças e adolescentes, identificar as penalidades cabíveis à luz da seara jurídica as punições cabíveis aos pais que praticam o abandono afetivo. Para alcançar esses objetivos, adotou-se como metodologia a revisão bibliográfica, do tipo qualitativa, pois não se tem a intenção de mensurar dados, mas tão somente a leitura, interpretação e análise de autores que pesquisaram sobre o assunto e poderão contribuir para um melhor entendimento sobre a questão do abandono afetivo e a responsabilização civil emprestada de livros, artigos publicados em revistas científicas e na legislação brasileira. Chegou-se a conclusão de que a negligência afetiva parental não apenas afeta o bem-estar imediato da criança, mas também pode deixar sequelas emocionais profundas que perduram ao longo de sua vida adulta e que a responsabilização civil pode ser remédio para que esse dano possa ser minimizado. Dessa forma, reconhece-se a importância de impor responsabilidades aos pais que negligenciam o cuidado afetivo de seus filhos, não apenas como uma medida punitiva, mas também como uma forma de promover a proteção e o bem-estar das crianças.

Abstract. Water extraction solutions in the high mountainous areas of Northern Vietnam commonly include rainwater harvesting, dug wells, drilled wells, groundwater springs, and hanging lakes. However, many water supply systems operate inefficiently and lack flexibility. This study established 10 criteria for selecting groundwater exploitation technology, divided into three groups: water resources, economic and technical, social, and environmental criteria. These criteria aim to identify appropriate water extraction technologies suitable for high mountainous and water-scarce regions, ensuring the long-term and efficient operation of water supply systems. The Geographic Information System (GIS) approach was utilized, integrating the criteria using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method to select suitable water extraction technologies. The research results indicate that the evaluation criteria for determining suitable areas for implementing sustainable water extraction technologies, and the weights assigned to these criteria, ensure a consistent ratio (CR) <10 % according to the hierarchical analysis method. This article presents the results of identifying areas suitable for implementing groundwater extraction technologies using drilled wells, based on seven criteria within three groups: water resources, economic and technical, and social criteria. The GIS approach has been employed, and the criteria have been integrated using the AHP to select and determine the areas suitable for implementing groundwater extraction technologies using drilled wells.

Abstract. Drought poses significant challenges across various sectors such as agriculture, water resources, environment, and energy. In the past few decades, numerous devastating droughts have been reported worldwide including in South Korea. A recent drought in South Korea, which lasted from 2013 to 2016, led to significant consequences including water restrictions and nationwide crop failures. Historically, reservoirs have played a crucial role in mitigating hydrological droughts by ensuring water supply stability. With exacerbating intensity and frequency of droughts attributed to climate change, enhancing the operational efficiency of existing reservoirs for drought management becomes increasingly important. This study examines the value of Seasonal Flow Forecasts (SFFs) in informing reservoir operations, focusing on two critical reservoir systems in South Korea. We assess and compare the value derived from using two deterministic scenarios (worst and 20-year return period drought) and two ensemble forecasts products (SFFs and Ensemble Streamflow Prediction, ESP). Our study proposes an innovative method for assessing forecast value, providing a more intuitive and practical understanding by directly relating it to the likelihood of achieving better operational outcomes compared to historical operation. Furthermore, we analyse the sensitivity of forecast value to key choices in the set-up of the simulation experiments. Our findings indicate that while deterministic scenarios show higher accuracy, forecast-informed operations with ensemble forecasts tend to yield greater value. This highlights the importance of considering the uncertainty of flow forecasts in operating reservoirs. Although SFFs generally show higher accuracy than ESP, the difference in value between these two ensemble forecasts is found to be negligible. Last, the sensitivity analysis shows that the method used to select a compromise release schedule between competing operational objectives is a key determinant of forecast value, implying that the benefits of using seasonal forecasts may vary widely depending on how priorities between objectives are established.

Abstract. Frequent record high temperatures in recent years have led to a rise in both the frequency and intensity of drought events, while also altered the formation process of drought. The worldwide occurrences of flash droughts during the past decade are the evidence that drought may evolve in an unusually rapid manner. Such a change of drought challenges existing drought monitoring and early warning systems typically designed for monthly-scale purposes. This leads to a query that to what extent the formation process of drought would be accelerated under high temperatures. Based on the reanalysis product, we identified historical drought events across China during 1950–2021, and defined a new drought characteristic, the duration of drought onset (DDO, defined as the time period taken for moisture transition from a normal state to below-average condition) to measure how rapid the drought develops. Then a two-stage experimental framework was designed to establish the relationship between DDO and antecedent soil moisture, precipitation, and air temperature, and to estimate the impacts of high temperatures with different warming scenarios and varied hitting time (pre-, and post-drought onset) on DDO. Results showed that DDO would shorten by 10~50 days under 35 °C (high temperatures in meteorology) in relative to that of annual mean temperature scenarios. Overall, the impacts of high temperatures were greatest during the week of drought onset. High temperatures of pre-drought and post-drought onset exhibited asymmetrical effects on DDO. In high NDVI areas, pre-drought high temperatures presented a leading role for accelerating the formation of drought, while in low NDVI areas, high temperatures after drought onset were favorable for the ongoing development of drought. Findings in this study may supplement the process understanding of drought in the future warming environment.
