Authors: Ghasemzadeh Mousavinejad Seyed Hossein , Radman Arash , Ghorbani GilKalaye Sepehr
Published: December 2024

The ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is an advanced material that stands out for its remarkable mechanical properties and durability, characterized by an exceptionally high compressive strength. When compared to traditional concrete, UHPC presents itself as a more eco-friendly option with significant potential to enhance the sustainability of infrastructure. This study unveils the mechanical behavior of ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPC) subject to various thermal conditions, incorporating a range of fiber types, both industrial and recycled, in a comprehensive assessment. Furthering the investigation into the influence of high temperatures on UHPC, the research incorporates not only industrially manufactured fibers but also a variety of recycled fibers in the concrete mix, subjecting the samples to intense heating and subsequent cooling regimes. Once the thermal shock is administered, the compressive strength, tensile strength in bending, ultrasonic pulse velocity, and sorptivity of the concrete samples are examined in detail. The findings of this study reveal that the fire resistance of UHPC reinforced with recycled fibers is comparable to that of UHPC reinforced with industrially manufactured fibers. Interestingly, a discernible relationship was observed between the ultrasonic pulse velocity of the samples and their post-temperature strength, suggesting a potential link between these two characteristics.

Published: December 2024

Real-time testing in wireless channel conditions of Forward Error Correction (FEC) coding techniques, Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) selection algorithms is a complex and challenging task. GNU Radio and Software Defined Radio (SDR) concept allow a wide range of practical and low-cost solutions to perform the testing operations mentioned above. The paper proposes a duplex transmission system with adaptive LDPC (Low Density Parity Check) coding and OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) modulation implemented in GNU Radio. The frame structure, design principles, system architecture, and mechanisms controlling the transmission process are presented. The system’s modular architecture provides the framework for testing various LDPC coding and MCS selection techniques. The system’s design allows us to maximize the transmission’s efficiency, the encapsulation of various data structures, i.e., frame and transport block, using reduced overheads and the necessity of padding operations is minimized.

Published: December 2024

The Aghien Partial Nature Reserve, located in the district of Abidjan, is a new protected area that requires special monitoring because it is subject to strong urbanization pressure. To analyse the spatio-temporal dynamics of land use at this site, field data was first collected, followed by processing of Landsat OLI/TIRS images of the reserve from 2020 and 2024. Parameters such as the average annual rate of spatial expansion (T), the conversion rate (Tc), the transition matrix and the conversion intensity were then calculated. Finally, a forecast was made for land-use dynamics up to 2032. A total of ten land-use units were identified within the administrative boundaries of the reserve. Among these units, old rubber plantations, fallow land and secondary forests are the most represented plant formations. Over the period from 2020 to 2024, vegetation dynamics are marked by the expansion of secondary forests (Tc = 9.48%; T = 2.26%), young palm plantation (Tc = 15.01%; T = 3.50%) and bare soil (Tc = 18.50%; T = 4.24%). However, the forecast to 2032 shows a significant expansion of fallow land (Tc = 11.66%; T = 0.92%) and secondary forest (Tc = 26.46%; T = 1.96%). This reflects the gradual restoration of floristic diversity in the reserve's landscape. However, given the persistence of certain human activities, the site needs to be monitored.

Published: December 2024

The present study analyses Vavoua department agricultural producer’s knowledge, practices and attitudes regarding herbicide application and their impact on human health and the environment. It covered nine (9) selected agricultural sites including Brouafla-Nattis, Bénoufla, Vavoua, Koudougou PK8, Koudougou PK5, Bidiafla, Bahiri (Bafla), Brouafla Kouya and Bonoufla, for a structured quantitative survey involving 72 producers. More than 95% of the surveyed producers systematically use phytosanitary products including glyphosate-based herbicides. The majority of producers (95%) have not received any training on the use of plant protection products and do not have a good knowledge of application rates and treatment frequencies. The diversity of phytosanitary treatment methods is explained by the lack of training and especially by the lack of supervision of producers that could have mitigated the harmful effects on human such as dizziness, nasal congestion, colds, redness of the eyes, nausea and vomiting, etc., and on the physical environment.

Published: December 2024

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a group of metabolic disorders involving obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidaemia and hypertension. The pathogenesis of MetS includes contributing factors such as genetics and epigenetics, physical inactivity, pollutant exposure, and high fat-high sugar intake that develop into a variety of interrelated pathomechanisms. There are various approaches to managing the MetS, including development of herbal medicine which is currently trending. One of the potential herbal products is Salacca zalacca (SZ) skin. Salak is a native Indonesian fruit that is also grown in the Asia Pacific region, such as Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and others. However, the management of SZ skin is still limited. Thus, we reviewed studies on SZ skin related to MetS. In this review, we found that SZ skin of various cultivars contain saponins, flavonoids, triterpenoids, steroids, and phenols, which are sources of antioxidants. Moreover, an in vitro study found that SZ skin extract inhibits the activity of α-glucosidase enzyme, a key glucose breakdown enzyme that plays a role in the development of hyperglycaemia. In vivo studies also observed that SZ skin extract at a dose of 0.4 mg/mL can increase the expression of SIRT-1, BDNF, and SOD in zebrafish exposed to 3% glucose. In alloxan-induced diabetic rat model showed that the administration of SZ skin extract can reduce blood glucose levels. However, studies on SZ skin as anti-hypertensive and anti-hypercholesterol are very limited. Further studies are needed to consider SZ skin as a potential herbal medicine candidate, especially in managing MetS.

Published: December 2024

This case report presents a complex clinical scenario involving the simultaneous occurrence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and pulmonary embolism (PE). A 58-year-old male with underlying cardiovascular risk factors and past history of hip surgery in the last 25 days presented with acute respiratory distress, chest pain, and lower extremity edema. Diagnostic workup confirmed the presence of both AMI and PE, leading to a rapid deterioration in the patient's condition. Despite aggressive medical management, including antithrombotic therapy, vasopressor support, and advanced cardiac life support, the patient ultimately succumbed to the severity of the illness. This case highlights the challenges associated with managing patients with this dual diagnosis and emphasizes the importance of early recognition, prompt diagnosis, and aggressive treatment. Future research is needed to identify novel biomarkers and therapeutic strategies to improve patient outcomes.

Published: December 2024

The objective of this study was to ascertain the hematological indices in canines that have been infected with the Canine Distemper Virus (CDV) in an acute phase. The study included ten dogs with acute CDV infection (n=10) and ten healthy dogs (n=10). The results of the study demonstrated a statistically significant elevation in the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) in dogs acutely infected with CDV compared to the control group. These findings suggest that distinct hematological responses may occur during the acute phase of CDV infection, and that NLR and MLR levels may serve as reliable inflammatory markers for monitoring this period.
Mary Kelly’s ‘Montage du Désastre’, a Work of Death and Rebirth
Authors: Cucurullo Mattia
Published: December 2024

Mary Kelly’s The Ballad of Kastriot Rexhepi is a work that recounts an episode from the Kosovo war, reflecting on the paradoxical nature of traumatic events. In my essay, I will examine the anachronistic layering of semantic levels that the work exhibits, assuming that it creates a dialectical image” through the discontinuous relationship between death and rebirth. Hubert Damisch’s concept of the ‘montage du désastre’ helps us to re-read the parable of the child in the title of the work, by reflecting on the mechanisms of the spectacularisation of the chronicle and on the ultimate possibility of giving a ‘figurability’ of the testimony.

Бабайлов В.К. ПРИНЦИП СОЦІАЛЬНОЇ ВІДПОВІДАЛЬНОСТІ       
Як свідчить сучасна література і практика, сутність, основний закон соціальної відповідальності (СВ) – це організація адекватності засобів покарань характеру порушень правил соціуму, правил моралі і права. Тобто, для ефективної організації СВ менеджеру, перш за все, необхідне знання багатьох правил, які встановлюються у різноманітних соціумах (країні, регіоні, підприємстві, підрозділі тощо) або видах діяльності (математиці, методології тощо). Недостатня глибина знань, щодо правил соціумів, може призвести до неадекватності засобів покарань – що, у свою чергу, також є порушенням й має вести теж до покарання. Тобто менеджер, який зобов’язаний мати такий неприємний обов’язок, також зобов’язаний суворо дотримуватися «букви» законів, правил, норм, щоб позбавити себе від такої особистої і неприємної відповідальності. Причиною появи такої відповідальності може бути неналежне знання правил соціумів, їх зв’язків й, особливо, зв’язку з таким схожим із правилом поняттям, яким є принцип. На побутовому рівні існує банальне змішування, ототожнення правил і принципів. Але у такій професійної специфічної сфері діяльності менеджера, як організація СВ, питання істинного зв’язку правил і принципів стає актуальною проблемою. Для її вирішення було проведено детальний аналіз наукової літератури щодо розуміння принципу і його зв’язку із правилом.

Small pluton construction through sills stacking, amalgamation and differentiation: Insight from the Beauvoir granite (Massif Central, France)
Authors: Esteves Nicolas , France Lydéric , Cuney Michel , Bouilhol Pierre
Published: December 2024

The kinematics, modes of assembly, and the processes governing the evolution of magmas shape plutonic intrusions. Granite bodies have been suggested to emplace incrementally, with successive magmatic batches locally solidified as dikes or sills. Yet, the complexity and longevity of large-scale plutons hinders a unified model for their emplacement and concomitant differentiation. This is especially true for highly differentiated granites which usually lack continuous outcrops limiting our understandings of the detailed assembly of these igneous complexes and of the related magmatic processes. To tackle this issue, we focus on the Beauvoir intrusion (Massif Central, France), a small pluton (~800 m thick) of high economic interest (Li-Be-Nb-Ta) whose fully recovered 900 m borehole crosscutting the entire granite bring new insights on plutonic processes. The Beauvoir granite contains early-crystallised euhedral quartz and topaz associated with albite, lepidolite (Li-mica), K-feldspar and late amblygonite (Li-phosphate). Here based on numerous high resolution petrographic data (modal composition, intrusive and layering features, mineral morphologies and textural relations, etc.), and on the variation of lepidolite composition throughout the granite, we demonstrate that the whole intrusion formed through the stacking of at least eighteen decametric crystal-poor sills. Those intrusive bodies form the Beauvoir sub-units that emplaced successively without significant magma mixing with previous injections. Based on structural and geochemical features, we constrain the first relative chronology of a highly-differentiated stacked intrusion with an overall over-accretion mechanism. Once intruded, sill differentiation occurred via fractionation of quartz and topaz producing albite-, lepidolite-, amblygonite-saturated residual liquids, notably enriched in incompatible elements such as Li, Be, F and P. Channel like forming albite-rich segregates, representing escaped residual liquids from the solidifying quartz-rich mush often pounds beneath the overlying subsequently intruded sill, indicating a protracted plutonic construction faster than the solidification of a single sill. Alternatively, such evolved residual melts locally accumulate to form weakly-viscous potentially eruptible melt lenses, which possibly fed the rhyolitic dikes intruding the surrounding host-rocks.
Systemic impacts of low-carbon transition policies for housing in Innsbruck: Mapping the intersections of vulnerability and social justice with affected citizens and stakeholders

Published: December 2024

Decarbonizing the building sector is a key priority in the European energy transition, as it is responsible for more than a third of the EU's GHG emissions. To boost energy renovation rates and efforts to phase out fossil fuel-based heating systems, current energy policy directives tar-get in particular the promotion of energy efficiency. However, implementing technology-oriented solutions for low-carbon energy and heating transitions raises a variety of issues, bearing also the risk of exacerbating energy and housing vulnerability. This pre-print article explores potential synergies and trade-offs between climate neutrality and social justice, advocating for deliberative democracy and participation in co-designing systemic perspectives for low-carbon policy interventions. We focus on the city of Innsbruck, where both rents and shares of installed fossil fuel-based heating systems are among the highest in Austria. Our data builds on stakeholder interviews, policy analysis, and participatory systems mapping with citizens in a deliberation panel setting. We identify several structural key conditions that increase exposure to housing and energy vulnerability in Innsbruck, particularly among tenants and low-income households in Innsbruck. From a systemic perspective, we show how sharply rising rent and energy costs not only affect the disposable household income, but also reinforce dynamics that develop within the relationship between income, stress, renunciation, and mental health. We discuss the shortcomings of a narrow focus on energy efficiency policies, which may hinder the full potential of alleviating energy poverty and lead to adverse distributional impacts on vulnerable groups. Finally, we link a range of potential leverage points for socially just policy interventions to address the challenges of housing and energy vulnerability, including measures such as the highly debated social policy of rent control.
Evaluating the influence of discharge depths of lithium-ion batteries on the mechanical recycling process

Published: December 2024

During the discharge process of a lithium-ion battery different phenomena can occur, such as copper deposits or active material coating on the separator, which influence the quality of recycling. According to their depth of discharge the cell types investigated behave differently in the mechanical recycling. The product qualities of the black mass scatter regarding yield and content of impurities, which generates new challenges in terms of the required recycling rates according to EU regulations. plating on  to the different structure of the components, the contamination of the black mass increases, while the liberation of active material is reduced. The findings of this study underscore the necessity of optimizing the mechanical recycling process to ensure stability in handling phenomena associated with greater discharge depths. Not addressing these issues would lead to the introduction of impurities that coat the separator, presenting new challenges for subsequence processes such as flotation and hydrometallurgy.

By mapping EEG signals to a quantum graph and leveraging the probabilistic and path-dependent properties of quantum walks, this approach offers a potentially transformative methodology for analyzing brain activity. Also discussing the potential solution to class imbalance in sleep datasets using the innate qualities of quantum mechanics like superposition, highlighting the possible use of a hybrid loss function for classification.Outlining the conceptual basis of this framework, discussing its implications, and suggesting potential applications and future research directions.
Reconsidering intrapersonal communication through an interdisciplinary lens
Authors: Bainbridge Constance , Bryant Gregory A. , Dale Rick
Published: December 2024

Intrapersonal communication is a classification of phenomena such as self-talk and imagined interactions in which communicative messages are contained within a single individual and internal systems comprise both sender and receiver roles. The construct has met criticism historically with objections rooted in the notion that intrapersonal communication is simply a form of social cognition. But not all self-communicative behaviors have clear or empirically defined social cognitive connections, and the concept of intrapersonal communication deserves revisiting through meaningful interdisciplinary study using varied methods and theoretical frameworks. We explore relevant work supporting our contention that intrapersonal communication constitutes a valuable classification, including related historical research, functional and developmental approaches, and important methodological issues. We then conclude that the research problems relevant to intrapersonal communication have implications for researchers across diverse fields, and could shed light on a variety of important topics such as philosophy of mind, consciousness, and the nature of communication.

Authors: Fraga-González Nicolás , Chao Fernández Rocío , Couto-Cantero Mª Pilar
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Considering a fact that music and a given language are different manifestations of language and that both take sound as their basic constitutional element, to highlight the existing research gap in this area and to reinforce the conception of music as a language is intended. Moreover, given the benefits that many authors state regarding the learning of oral skills in EFL, the need to cultivate aural and vocal education is also considered. Methodology: A parameterized bibliographic review following the PRISMA protocol on the material published in relation to the application of the musical element to the teaching of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in a Spanish-speaking context is presented. Results: After the documentary analysis, it has been confirmed that only fourteen publications were selected based on: The year of publication, how the inclusion of the musical element is proposed, the attention to prosodic issues, the type of participants, the methodology used, and the impact of the study related to the object of study. Conclusions: Despite confirming the similarities between musical language and common language, the existence of a research gap in this type of publications is demonstrated.

Authors: Korniichuk Volodymyr , Shumlyanskyy Andrii
Published: December 2024

The levee is an important part of the complex of flood protection measures, which is direct a barrier against high water levels. At the same time, it is the most voluminous and time-consuming structure, the construction of which requires a significant amount of material and transport costs. For their construction, soil from local quarries can be used, which will significantly reduce the costs of their construction and speed it up. But before the possibility of their use, it is necessary to check their suffusion characteristics to ensure their seepage stability.
