MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF POROUS SILICON CARBIDE CERAMICS: A REVIEW
Authors: Kultayeva S. ,   International Educational Corporation
Published: July 2024

Porous silicon carbide (SiC)-based ceramics exhibit exceptional structural and functional properties, such as excellent mechanical, chemical, and thermal stability, and controlled electrical resistivity. Owing to their superior properties, porous SiC ceramics are suitable for various industrial applications, including heatable filters, heating elements, thermoelectric energy converters, fusion reactors, thermal insulators, water purifiers, molten metal and hot gas filters, diesel particulate filters, membrane supports, and catalyst supports. A deeper understanding of the mechanical properties of porous SiC ceramics, coupled with the development of new strategies for tuning these properties, will enable the realization of numerous new applications. In this review, important factors known to determine the mechanical strength of porous SiC ceramics, such as microstructures (necking area) and pore characteristics (porosity, pore size), have been analyzed. With increasing porosity and pore size of porous SiC ceramics, the flexural strength tends to decrease. The flexural strength increases with decreasing pore size at a constant porosity, whereas the flexural strength decreases with increasing porosity at a constant pore size. In addition, the flexural strength of porous SiC ceramics is primarily influenced by the developed necking area between SiC grains, which can be obtained through the doping of soluble atoms into the SiC lattice. Based on these critical factors affecting the mechanical properties, a novel strategy for tuning the flexural strength of porous SiC ceramics is proposed.

Orthometric height is required for all surveying work in civil engineering. The most effective and less labor-intensive method for determining orthometric heights on the ground is the use of GNSS technologies. But to use GNSS technologies, it is necessary to determine the geoid height (the difference between ellipsoidal and orthometric heights). This article reviews and compares the latest high-resolution Global geopotential models (GGM) in order to select the optimal model for creating a model of the geoid of Kazakhstan. The study consists of three stages. In the first stage, the GGMs were evaluated using 112 GNSS/leveling points distributed over the test area. In the second stage, selected GGMs were evaluated based on gravity data. In the third stage, some of the best performing models were further compared using spectral information contained in their spherical harmonic coefficients. The EIGEN-6C4 model demonstrated advantages over other GGMs (XGM2019e_2159, GECO, SGG-UGM-2, EGM2008) that participated in the accuracy assessment, showing a standard deviation of 0.267 m at the first stage. When analyzed to match ground-based gravity data, the EIGEN-6C4 model demonstrated a match with a standard deviation of 5.341 mGal. Based on the evaluation results, it is decided that EIGEN-6C4 is the most suitable model for generating local geoid, which will contribute to the development of geodesy in civil engineering in the future.

Published: July 2024

Background: Bali is a popular tourist destination because of its unique culture. One of its unique features is the Balinese dance, which is used to welcome guests, perform arts, and perform religious ceremonies. Many Balinese dancers experience generalized joint hypermobility (GJH) without realizing it, which may have a negative impact on them, especially if they have a problem of musculoskeletal pain.
Methods: This research used an analytical observational design of a cross-sectional study. This study employed the sampling technique of purposive technique with a total sampling method. The inclusion criteria for this study were traditional Balinese dancers living in Denpasar city, female, aged 14-20, and having dancing experience more than 1 year. Exclusion criteria were subjects after surgery for fractures or other musculoskeletal injuries in the upper or lower extremities, subjects with signs of acute inflammation in the joints, and those unwilling to be research subjects. The number of samples was calculated using the lame show formula, and 85 samples were obtained. Data was collected by measuring GJH and musculoskeletal disorders using the Nordic body map questionnaire.
Results: Based on the bivariate analysis test with Spearman's rho, p-value = 0.000 (p < 0.05) was obtained for the two independent variables with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.797.
Conclusion: Based on the research results, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between GJH and MSDs in the Balinese dancer population in Denpasar City.
A new method for assessing the marketing efficiency of agricultural marketing channels
Authors: Abad Arif , Maaz Mohd Abdul Muqeet , Shamsi Mohd Salman
Published: July 2024

Purpose. This study aims to introduce a new method for assessing the efficiency of agricultural marketing channels. This innovative method rectifies the deficiencies inherent in earlier methods by encircling all channel participants in evaluating marketing efficiency, thereby delivering a more detailed assessment.
Methodology / approach. The present study first identified the shortcomings of the old methods based on a literature review and then attempted to propose a new method for calculating marketing efficiency by overcoming these issues. The efficiency of marketing channels is calculated based on primary data collected from two randomly selected agriculture markets in Delhi, marketing cooperative societies operating in Delhi, and their respective intermediaries, flour mills, and consumers in the channel. The study’s sample size is 179 respondents, including all the channel members. After that, a comparison is made between traditional methods and the proposed method.
Results. Results of this study show that the proposed method gives a better idea of the efficiency of marketing channels than the old methods, namely the Acharya’s approach, the Shepard’s method and the input-output approach. These methods ignore the crucial role of producers, focusing on overall margins and costs. They can call a channel efficient even if producers receive minimal benefits, necessitating a revised approach. The proposed method has two parts: (1) the ratio of overall channel benefit to cost, excluding consumers, to avoid misleading results, indicating higher benefits for channel members; (2) the ratio of the net price received by farmers to the price paid by consumers, reflecting farmer earnings. By separating marketing margins and costs, the proposed method simplifies previous complexities. Using the channel benefit-to-cost ratio and the farmer’s price-to-consumer price ratio, this method offers an accurate and comprehensive assessment, addressing flaws in Acharya’s approach.
Originality / scientific novelty. The proposed method is the only method that takes care of every channel member rather than just focusing on producers / farmers. This method considers factors such as the price received by farmers (gross and net), marketing margins, marketing costs, and the price paid by consumers. Unlike old methods, this method focuses on adding value per channel, not on the number of intermediaries.
Practical value / implications. The proposed method facilitates an effortless comparison of marketing efficiency for all channel members, especially farmers. Its simplicity makes it a valuable tool for policymakers to formulate effective strategies for enhancing overall channel efficiency. Researchers can also use this method in efficiency-focused studies related to agriculture and its products, gaining a comprehensive understanding of agricultural marketing channels.

Published: July 2024

Мета. Метою дослідження є огляд сучасного стану інтеграції природоорієнтованих рішень у міські екосистеми, що може протистояти негативним наслідкам урбанізації та сприяти циркулярній економіці через надання екосистемних послуг.
Результати. Установлено, що природоорієнтовані рішення відкривають перспективи для вирішення різноманітних проблем, спричинених негативними наслідками урбанізації та змінами клімату, починаючи від втрати біорізноманіття й закінчуючи створенням сталого міського середовища та розвитком «зелених» економічних можливостей. Проаналізовано три масштаби впровадження природоорієнтованих рішень у забудованому середовищі: «зелені» будівельні матеріали, системи озеленення будівель і «зелені» міські ділянки. Доведено, що вони є цінними інструментами для забезпечення багатьох переваг для міських екосистем і можуть ефективно допомагати в боротьбі з наслідками зміни клімату, стимулювати розвиток місцевої економіки та сприяти сталому розвитку. Однак установлено, що для успішної імплементації таких рішень необхідно проводити додаткові дослідження та моніторинг, ураховуючи різні аспекти, такі як екологічні, економічні та соціальні. Оцінка витрат і вигод, а також участь широкого спектру зацікавлених сторін є ключовими елементами успішного впровадження природоорієнтованих рішень у містах.
Наукова новизна. Визначено необхідність розглядати різні рівні впровадження природоорієнтованих рішень у забудованому середовищі як частину цілісної міської мережі, що сприяє переходу до циркулярної економіки та створенню стійких й ефективних міських середовищ. Інтеграція підходів циркулярної економіки дозволить підвищити ефективність, достатність й узгодженість природоорієнтованих рішень. Уперше проведено комплексний аналіз інтеграції природоорієнтованих рішень («зелені» будівельні матеріали, системи озеленення будівель і «зелені» міські ділянки) у міські екосистеми в умовах швидкої урбанізації та зміни клімату, узагальнено позитивний вплив і можливі негативні наслідки від їх упровадження. Запропоновано практичні рекомендації щодо методів планування та оцінки витрат на впровадження природоорієнтованих ініціатив, що враховують широкий спектр екологічних, економічних і соціальних аспектів.
Практична цінність. Розглянуті природоорієнтовані рішення слугуватимуть базою для розробки політик сталого розвитку міського середовища у повоєнному відновленні України: вони можуть стати основою для відновлення екосистем і природних ресурсів; забезпечити соціальну взаємодію серед мешканців міста; стати стимулом для розвитку нових економічних можливостей у постраждалих містах (розвиток міського фермерства, залучення інвестицій і створення нових робочих місць); стануть частиною загального процесу відновлення міської інфраструктури, включаючи біомімікрію в архітектурному дизайні та використання екологічних будівельних матеріалів.
Проблема обоснования естественных прав в теориях New Classical Natural Law
Authors: Нехаев А.В.
Published: July 2024

Актуальность настоящего исследования обусловлена необходимостью анализа зарубежной научной литературы в области философии права, раскрывающей тенденции эволюции и развития естественно-правовых концепций. Несмотря на значительное число публикаций по теории естественного права, ее ключевые тезисы и аргументы обсуждаются постсоветскими учеными в отрыве от современных дискуссий зарубежными правоведами. Предметом исследования в статье является реконструкция и рациональная интерпретация аргументов теорий естественного права, образующих доктрину так называемого New Classical Natural Law (NCNL) и представленных в работах Джона Финниса и Жермена Гризе. Целью настоящего исследования выступает попытка раскрыть логическую структуру аргументации юснатуралистов, в особенности ответов на вопрос «Почему для агентов было бы рациональным уважать чужие естественные права?». В статье применены традиционные методы, характерные для философско-правовых исследований, в том числе методы логического и лингвистического анализа, исторической реконструкции и рациональной интерпретации. Новизна данной научной статьи обусловлена новым подходом к раскрытию аргументов и логической структуры рассуждений сторонников теории естественного права. Прояснение характера, преимуществ и недостатков такой аргументации может стать основной для дальнейших философско-правовых исследований.

Published: July 2024

Қазіргі заманның ерекшелігі – ақпараттық технологиялардың қарқынды дамуы және олардың адам өміріне етене енуі. Сәйкесінше, қоғамда қалыптасқан ережелерге қайшы келетін әрекеттер орын алуы мүмкіндігі ұлғайды. Заңға қайшы әрекеттер орын алған жағдайда, соттық юрисдикцияны орнату мәселесі қандай? Тіпті, интернет және жалпы киберкеңістік бұл тұрғыда «қараңғылықты» тудырады. Қарқынды дамып жатқан ақпараттық технологияларға қолданыстағы заңнамалардың ілеспеуі мәселе тудырады. Мысалы, киберкеңістікпен байланысты дауларға қатысты соттық юрисдикцияны орнату мәселесі. Киберкеңістік және оның айналасына қатысты тақырыптар бойынша көптеген зерттеу жұмыстары болғанымен де, өкінішке орай отандық доктриналар үнсіз. Сонымен қатар, цифрлық дәуірде сот юрисдикциясын құру да күрделене түсетінін атап өткен жөн. Мысалы, интернеттің шексіз сипаты, пайдаланушылардың анонимділігі және т.б. Сондықтан осы тақырып бойынша зерттеулер жүргізу өзекті. Айтылып өткендей, отандық доктринада киберкеңістік және соттық юрисдикция тақырыбына қатысты қандай да бір зерттеу жұмыстары жоқ. Сондықтан, зерттеу жұмысын жүргізу барысында шетел заңнамалары, сот істері және осы тақырып бойынша беделді деген авторлардың жұмыстары қарастырылды. Нәтижесінде, соттық юрисдикцияны орнату барысында киберкеңістіктің ерекшелігін ескеру қажеттілігі анықталды. Яғни, қазіргі таңда бұл ерекше ортаны елемей кетуіміз мүмкін емес. Сонымен қатар, киберкеңістіктің «бір мезетте барлық жерде бола тұра, бір жерде болмау» ерекшелігі forum non conveniens принципінің одан әрі қатаң қолданылуына жол ашты.

Вместе с тем исследование рассматривает все одиннадцать оснований, предусмотренных пунктом 2 статьи 466 Гражданско-процессуального кодекса о международной компетенции, и анализирует их с точки зрения соотношения с нормами о территориальной подсудностью, предусмотренных статьями 29 и 30 Гражданско-процессуального кодекса. Предметом исследования является анализ положений внутренней (территориальной) и международной юрисдикции судов Республики Казахстан. Цель настоящего исследования заключается в проведении сравнительного анализа механизмов определения компетенции судов по территориальной подсудности в различных категориях дел в контексте их международной компетенции с целью выявления практических недостатков действующего законодательства.
Les études littéraires environnementales et leur didactique : pour une École du vivant
Authors: Leray Morgane
Published: July 2024

Crises call for rethinking and metamorphosis; the sense of loss of meaning, ecological challenges and, more specifically in the case of our study, the crisis in teaching careers and the decline in literary studies enrolments call for meta-reflection, an analysis of what is being done here and elsewhere, and of what has been done before, in order to implement transformative, efficient action that makes sense and creates links. We propose to take a conceptual look at a flourishing field of research - environmental literary studies - and another emerging one - its didactics - by placing our reflections in a historical perspective: while the 19th century is known for being the century of knowledge sharing, it also saw the emergence of voices advocating interdisciplinary educational approaches, practices bringing together life sciences and literature, book-based knowledge and the 'outdoor classroom'. These are perspectives and experiences that are particularly relevant today.

Conquering Soil Acidification: The Synergistic Effects of Basalt Powder, Lime, and PAM
Authors: Zhang Qianmei , Peng Xiuhong , Zhu Hongxia
Published: July 2024

Abstract. Soil acidification poses a substantial threat to agricultural productivity by releasing salt ions, diminishing soil fertility, and increasing susceptibility to aluminum toxicity. The aim of the study was to investigate the potential improvement of acid yellow soil through the combined application of basalt powder, lime, and polyacrylamide (PAM). Herein, 0.1 g mixed basalt powder and CaO with various proportion were added to 10 g acidic yellow soil with an initial pH of 4.16 to explore the efficient of mixed soil amendments. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis of basalt powder revealed its effectiveness in supplementing soil mineral nutrients. The optimal results of reduced acidification and ion leaching of soil were obtained when the addition proportion of basalt powder to lime was 8/2 and addition ratio of PAM was 0.0002 %. The addition of mixed amendments markedly increased the pH (by up to >2.0 units) and acid-damage capacity (20.3 mmol/kg) of soil, meanwhile decreased the leaching of K+(58.1 %), Na+(42.9 %), Mg2+(26.3 %), and Al3+ (below the detectable limit) as shown by the optimal tests. The basalt powder undergoes decomposition in the soil solution, resulting in the formation of some weak acids (i.e., H2SiO4), the release of OH-, and an increase in soil pH. The study reveals the underlying mechanisms of soil remediation with mixed amendment, which has potential guidance for the application of mixed soil amendment and the environment risks prediction of contaminated soil.
Synoptic perspective on the conversion and maintenance of local available potential energy in extratropical cyclones
Authors: Federer Marc , Papritz Lukas , Sprenger Michael , Grams Christian M.
Published: July 2024

Abstract. Extratropical cyclones are the predominant weather system in the midlatitudes. They intensify through baroclinic instability, a process in which available potential energy (APE) is converted into kinetic energy (KE). While the planetary-scale conversion of APE to KE is well understood as a mechanism for maintaining the general atmospheric circulation against dissipation, the synoptic-scale perspective on this conversion is less explored. In this study, we analyze the three-dimensional distribution of APE and the physical processes that consume APE for an illustrative case study and a climatology of 285 intense North Atlantic extratropical cyclones in the winters 1979–2021 using the ERA5 reanalysis. We utilize a recently introduced local APE framework that allows APE to be quantified at the level of individual air parcels. The geographical APE distribution is shown to be controlled by the large-scale upper-level circulation. Cyclones draw energy from the upper-tropospheric polar APE reservoir along with the development of the associated upper-level trough. This upper-level APE is converted into KE by air descending along the trough's western flank and acts as the incipient cyclone's primary source of KE. Conversely, KE is converted back into APE during the ascent ahead of the trough, reflecting the deceleration of air parcels as they exit the cyclone region. The diabatic dissipation of APE due to surface sensible heat fluxes along the Gulf Stream front is small compared to the adiabatic conversion of APE to KE, since most of the APE is concentrated and consumed in the middle to upper troposphere and cannot be exposed to surface diabatic forcing. In conclusion, by employing a local APE framework, this study provides a detailed investigation of the synoptic dynamics linking extratropical cyclones and planetary-scale energetics.
State updating in the Xin'anjiang Model: Joint assimilating streamflow and multi-source soil moisture data via Asynchronous Ensemble Kalman Filter with enhanced Error Models

Published: July 2024

Abstract. Assimilating either soil moisture or streamflow individually has been well demonstrated to enhance the simulation performance of hydrological models. However, the runoff routing process may introduce a lag between soil moisture and outlet discharge, presenting challenges in simultaneously assimilating the two types of observations into a hydrological model. The Asynchronous Ensemble Kalman Filter (AEnKF), an adaptation of the Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF), is capable of utilizing observations from both the assimilation moment and preceding periods, thus holding potential to address this challenge. Our study first merges soil moisture data collected from field soil moisture monitoring sites with China Meteorological Administration Land Data Assimilation System (CLDAS) soil moisture data. We then employ the AEnKF, equipped with improved error models, to assimilate both observed outlet discharge and the merged soil moisture data into the Xin'anjiang model. This process updates the state variables of the model, aiming to enhance real-time flood forecasting performance. The testing on both synthetic and real-world cases demonstrates that assimilation of these two types of observations simultaneously substantially reduces the accumulation of past errors in the initial conditions at the start of the forecast, thereby aiding in elevating the accuracy of flood forecasting. Moreover, the AEnKF with the enhanced error model consistently yields greater forecasting accuracy across various lead times compared to the standard EnKF.
Cross-Generational Sororities: Honouring the Feminist Legacy of Ama Ata Aidoo in Ayobami Adebayo’s Stay with Me (2017)
Authors: Serón-Navas Ariadna
Published: July 2024

La escritora Ama Ata Aidoo se ha consolidado como una figura feminista muy homenajeada en el panorama literario africano. En sus obras de teatro, novelas y colecciones de relatos encontramos mujeres (auto) empoderadas, decididas e insumisas que se rebelan abiertamente contra ciertas formas de violencia patriarcal. El “feminismo transformador” (Arndt, 2002) de Aidoo también lidia con temas concomitantes a la cuestión femenina como son la construcción de la nación postcolonial, la transculturación o el nacionalismo. En este artículo, se pretende explorar cómo algunas de las obras más reconocidas de esta autora ghanesa han influido en la novela de la escritora nigeriana contemporánea Ayobami Adebayo Stay with Me (2017) y, más concretamente, centrado en uno de los temas más importantes en la literatura africana: la maternidad y la crianza. Para llevar a cabo esta tarea, se ha articulado el análisis de ambas autoras en base a la idea original de las “sororidades intergeneracionales,” término propuesto con el fin de examinar la influencia metácrona que esta autora feminista de referencia ha tenido en las generaciones contemporáneas de escritoras africanas que en sus obras tratan temas similares, y de explorar las estrategias empleadas para resistir la autoridad patriarcal a través del tiempo, fronteras, culturas e historias. El artículo concluye que Adebayo naturalmente se nutre de temáticas centrales discutidas en las obras de Aidoo, pero también se puede afirmar que la autora nigeriana actualiza algunos de los temas que vertebran los textos de su antecesora, en consecuencia apuntalando una nueva conciencia feminista africana
Kant as a Baylean atheist
Authors: Laursen John Christian
Published: July 2024

This article argues that if Pierre Bayle had read Immanuel Kant, he might have thought Kant was an atheist. It begins from Bayle's definitions of atheism, which came out especially in his study of Spinoza. Spinoza was an atheist, Bayle thought, in part because he used strange definitions of God which no one else used. If one reads Kant on religion, one discovers many such strange locutions. And Bayle thought that the meaning of "God" included such elements as personality, liberty, providence, and beneficence, and that if these are denied one does not believe in the "God" of most people. Since Kant denied each of these in one way or another, Bayle would have thought of him as an atheist.
Dios en la guillotina. El cambio de paradigma efectuado por Kant en la concepción filosófica de la religión
Authors: Giusti Miguel
Published: July 2024

Tratando de emular la pluma irónica de Heinrich Heine, me valgo de su legendaria comparación entre las figuras de Kant y Robespierre para dar título a mi trabajo, en el que expongo el decisivo cambio de paradigma que Kant lleva a cabo en la tradición filosófica con respecto a la concepción del problema de la existencia de Dios. En un primer momento, me refiero a las razones que llevan a Kant, en la Crítica de la razón pura, a desalojar el problema de la “existencia” de Dios del ámbito de la razón teorética. En un segundo momento, abordo el desplazamiento de dicha cuestión al ámbito de la Crítica de la razón práctica, haciendo hincapié en lo difícil y paradójica que parece semejante tesis. Finalmente, a modo de conclusión, procuraré formular una tesis de mayor calado que sirve de sustento, en Kant, a las dos anteriores, a saber, la primacía de la filosofía por sobre cualquier otra ciencia o disciplina, incluida la teología, lo que puede ilustrarse de modo especial con el caso de la censura de la que fue víctima y que lo llevó a la publicación de El conflicto de las facultades.
Kant contra Herder. Breve análise de um diferendo estético em torno de Shakespeare
Authors: Sílvia Bento
Published: July 2024

A teoria kantiana do génio, tal como formulada na Crítica da Faculdade do Juízo, apresenta uma análise parcimoniosa de exemplos artísticos e uma ausência demasiado eloquente – Shakespeare. Cutrofello (2007) e Zammito (1992) debruçaram-se sobre o silêncio de Kant a respeito de Shakespeare na Terceira Crítica, sustentando que tal postura kantiana constituiria uma rejeição da filosofia de Herder e das posições estéticas do Sturm und Drang. Este artigo pretende desmontar tais leituras, mostrando que a cisão entre Aufklärung e Sturm und Drang não poderá ser devidamente invocada para pensar a ausência de Shakespeare na Terceira Crítica: neste sentido, analisaremos as teorizações do Aufklärer Lessing acerca de Shakespeare, posições iniciadoras do movimento Geniezeit no contexto germânico; e comentaremos, ainda, uma passagem de Kant sobre Shakespeare retirada de Vorlesungen über Anthropologie, salientando que as afinidades entre Kant e o Sturm und Drang acerca de Shakespeare deverão ser meticulosamente tomadas em conta.
O Modelo Conflitual da Filosofia Moral de Kant
Authors: Marques António
Published: July 2024

O artigo tem como objectivos a) uma reconsideração do conhecido problema da filosofia moral de Kant acerca do valor moral das acções designadas como conformes com o dever, mas que não são realizadas por dever, b) o esclarecimento de problemas que levanta a solução kantiana relacionada com a existência de uma específica conformidade com o dever, ou seja, de acções feitas por “inclinação imediata”; tipicamente estas são acções fundadas na boa vontade e na simpatia, por isso boas acções, mas sem valor moral, c) a demonstração que o valor moral requer a aplicação de um Modelo Conflitual entre dever e inclinação, com exclusão de um Modelo Cooperativo, d) a caracterização do valor moral da acção enquanto processo reflexivo com um elemento normativo.

Defendemos que a característica rigorista da moral kantiana é inerente ao seu sistema e que a crítica de Schiller captou com acuidade este tópico. Porém uma avaliação da ética de Kant segundo o Modelo Conflitual não evita, antes exige tal rigorismo.
¿Religión a pesar de la Ilustración?
Authors: Placencia Luis , Enskat Rainer
Published: July 2024

La cuestión de si la ilustración es posible a través de la ciencia o necesaria a pesar de la ciencia, al igual que la cuestión de si la religión es necesaria y posible a pesar de la ilustración y la ciencia, ha estado a la orden del día desde el siglo XVIII. Con la gran excepción de Platón, el problema sólo fue realmente comprendido por los filósofos de los siglos XVII y XVIII. En este trabajo se abordan algunas de las aristas que presentan a Kant como la cúspide de los intentos del S. XVIII por responder a las preguntas filosóficas antedichas.
O projecto de uma “metafísica dos costumes”
Authors: Lamego José
Published: July 2024

O projecto kantiano de uma “metafísica dos costumes” é tributário de uma longa tradição, sobretudo da ideia de uma “Metaphysica moralis” desenvolvida pelos autores wolffianos e os seus antecedentes históricos, a ontologia dos “entia moralia”. A herança da escola wolffiana está também presente na doutrina kantiana da obrigação moral, que denota uma clara influência de Baumgarten. No entanto, a fundamentação transcendental da obrigação moral, como autocoerção pela razão pura prática, tem apenas que ver com a obrigação moral, não com a obrigação jurídica. A ser assim, teríamos que concluir que a “doutrina do direito” é independente do idealismo transcendental e da filosofia moral crítica.
Reestructuración productiva y flexibilización laboral. Una revisión de los impactos del cambio organizativo y tecnológico sobre el trabajo
Authors: Del Bono Andrea
Published: July 2024

Este artículo ofrece una lectura retrospectiva sobre las motivaciones que impulsaron nuestro trabajo de investigación doctoral, en el cual revelamos la cara oculta del proceso de reestructuración productiva y modernización tecnológica llevado a cabo por Telefónica de España a finales de la década de 1990. En aquella oportunidad, investigamos el impacto menos visible de ese proceso de reestructuración en la organización del trabajo y las condiciones laborales de los empleados/as de la compañía, así como en los/as trabajadores/as afectados por la externalización de los servicios de atención al cliente.
 
Específicamente, aprovechando la perspectiva que otorga el tiempo transcurrido, el texto reconsidera algunos de las problemáticas clave que guiaron nuestro trabajo y que siguen siendo relevantes para el campo de la Sociología del Trabajo, como la flexibilización productiva y la tercerización laboral. A partir de un recorrido que hilvana los hallazgos de la tesis doctoral con las investigaciones posteriores, que amplificaron sus interrogantes iniciales, tratamos de evidenciar ciertas líneas de continuidad entre las tendencias de flexibilización de la producción que se iniciaron en el contexto de la reestructuración productiva de los años noventa y las dinámicas contemporáneas de tercerización laboral en el marco de los procesos de reestructuración y digitalización de la economía contemporánea.
Más invisibles, precarias y solidarias. Una relectura del mundo del trabajo en el Tercer Sector de Acción Social
Authors: Pinón Rizzi Josefina
Published: July 2024

En el presente artículo se aborda en primer lugar la experiencia personal de aprendizaje de investigar y producir una tesis doctoral desde el enfoque e impulso metodológico del Grupo de Investigación ‘Charles Babbage’ en Ciencias Sociales del Trabajo (UCM).
A continuación, se plantean los retos de la investigación, que tienen origen en la búsqueda colectiva del trabajo invisible del grupo de investigación y se centran en un mercado de trabajo particularmente invisibilizado como es el de la solidaridad. En un tercer apartado se presentan datos de la evolución de del empleo en los últimos 15 años que muestran la vigencia de las hipótesis planteadas. En este período, las condiciones de precariedad del empleo del Tercer Sector de la Acción Social se profundizan, instalándose en una cultura de la precariedad. En este marco, visibilizar el trasfondo del voluntariado como una vía de acceso al empleo que incide en la precariedad es un reto pendiente.

Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are the major cause of mortality globally. Malnutrition and inadequate or excessive intake were associated with increased risk factors for NCD development. This study aimed to determine the organoleptic profile and nutritional value of biscuit food formula from local food based on soybean (Glycine max) flour, tempeh flour, and Moringa leaf powder. This study was conducted in Yogyakarta, a city located in Indonesia in Southeast Asia. The organoleptic test involved 36 semi-trained panellists who fulfilled the established standards. The organoleptic profile was evaluated for colour, taste, aroma, texture, aftertaste, and overall acceptability. Five biscuit formulas, including the control (F0) and four sample treatments with the addition of 0 g (F1), 2.5 g (F2), 5 g (F3), and 7.5 g of Moringa leaf powder, were tested. The ratio of soybean flour to tempeh flour was 5:2 without F0. Organoleptic properties were analysed using the Friedman test and the Wilcoxon test. The highest scores for organoleptic profile, including colour, taste, aroma, texture, aftertaste, and overall acceptability parameters, were observed in F2, which was added with 2.5 of g Moringa leaf powder, and scored 3.61 ±0.599, 3.47 ±0.654, 3.67 ±0.793, 4.06 ±0.475, 3.22 ±0.898, and 3.53 ±0.654 respectively. Selected biscuit formulation (F2) per 100 g contains 534.8 kcal of energy, 18.8 g of protein, 33.0 g of fat, 40.49 g of carbohydrate, and 18.08 g of dietary fibre.

According to "food legislation" requirements, all eggs entering the production of egg products must be disinfected. Therefore, developing technologies for decontaminating chicken eggs before use for food purposes is a promising work direction in chicken egg production and storage. This research aimed to identify the microbiota of chicken eggs with varying degrees of shell contamination and determine the influence of different methods of decontaminating microbial biofilms formed on eggshells. It was set up that the quantitative content of microorganisms on the surface of chicken eggs ranged from 103 CFU to 106 CFU/ml of washing and depended on the contamination of the shell with droppings. Lactobacillus spp., Bacillus spp., Corynebacterium, Staphylococcus were among the genera of bacteria that prevailed on the clean chicken shell, which were isolated in 30-50% of cases, and gram-negative microbiota was practically absent. The constant release of gram-positive bacteria is noted on the contaminated eggshell, and the frequency of identification of gram-negative microbiota of the Enterobacteriaceae genus and non-fermenting genera Pseudomonas and Psychrobacter increases. That is, the microbial scape of the microbiota of the chicken shell depends on its cleanliness, and the presence of a dirty surface increases the frequency of allocation of the resident microflora of the gastrointestinal tract. It was found that the working solution of the disinfectant Vircon S destroyed planktonic bacteria applied to the eggshell in an average of 2 minutes of exposure, stabilised water ozone for 1 minute, gaseous ozone for 3 minutes, and the action of ultraviolet rays with a length of 253.7 nm for 25-30 min. At the same time, using these disinfection methods on bacteria formed in a biofilm on the eggshell did not cause a bactericidal action during this time. To significantly reduce bacteria in the biofilm using these methods, it is necessary to increase the exposure time of the biocide by 2-3 times. Therefore, the complex structure of the eggshell and the multi-layered matrix of biofilms provide better protection for bacteria against the influence of the investigated disinfection methods.
Investigating Mixed Methods Research in Applied Linguistics: Methodological Avoidance and Possible Barriers in the Field

The field of applied linguistics is becoming increasingly transdisciplinary as recognition for the need to approach empirical questions from a variety of epistemological and theoretical perspectives grows (Douglas Fir Group, 2016). One methodological approach that holds promise for advancing sophisticated inquiry into complex issues of applied linguistics is mixed methods research (MMR); however, studies adopting MMR to its fullest potential remain infrequent. Employing an exploratory sequential mixed methods design that includes a focus group and survey questionnaire, this empirical study investigates the internal and external factors that may lead applied linguistics researchers to avoid conducting and/or publishing MMR. Integrated analyses revealed that participants’ methodological and publishing decisions were influenced by factors such as their socialization into research practices in graduate school, the pressure to publish, and the considerations of the research journal industry. Implications for future applied linguistics researcher education programs and the impact of the publishing industry on research agendas are discussed.
