Authors: Roman Michał , Wiśniewski Andrzej , Bhatta Kumar , Królak Sylwia , Trzcinka Magdalena , Togaymurodov Elbek
Published: October 2022

The purpose of this article was to present awareness of extreme and adventure tourism among Polish people. A diagnostic survey was performed in order to determine the actual state of understanding of leisure activities and preferences of the people regarding adventure tourism using online social networking sites like Facebook in July 2021. A total of 1080 Polish respondents participated in the study, and the data were analysed descriptively. In this study, we found that leisure tourism is mostly practiced (41%) among the respondents, and the extreme and adventure tourism market share is 14%. Around 40% of respondents said they never practiced adventure tourism, and 26% said they hardly practice once a year. This demands additional efforts to increase the market share for extreme and adventure tourism. Thus, tourism entrepreneurs and policymakers can promote extreme and adventure tourism in the country, focusing on young people. Similarly, 31% said adventure and extreme tourism are dangerous. This means people must first overcome their psychological fear of participating in such activities. Thus, to encourage people in adventure and extreme tourism, the tourists’ fears should be removed and psychologically motivated. Then, ensuring safety measures, short training, and awareness campaigns focusing on the young increases their participation in adventure and extreme tourism. The safety measures and positive psychology in younger people increase the adventure and extreme tourism market.
Female Labor Migration: Gender Prospective
Authors: Mishra Manamaya
Published: October 2022

This paper is based on level, trends and pattern of female labor migration in Nepal. The changes in the lives of Nepalese women due to the increasing trend foreign labor migration of men. The changes in intra-household power relations and the transformations in women’s lives, due to the male-dominated nature of Nepalese migration, are largely neglected. The aim of this paper to find the level and trend of female labour migration in Nepal and also examine women’s experiences, as they assume the role of household heads, financial managers and single parents, in a society that has historically suppressed their freedom. The analysis is based on secondary data source. Women who take on the role of household head are more likely to gain decision-making power and experience an increase in social participation, while those left under the supervision of other members (usually their in-laws) may suffer from reduced decision-making ability and increased restrictions on their mobility in public spaces. These consequences are highly sensitive to the regional socio-cultural norms as well as women’s caste, class, and individual characteristics. The consequences of female migration increasing trend day by day and their experience provides the valuable information for the developing policy of migration as well as traditional gender inequality and providing women with the resources to manage with the challenges faced during men’s migration.

Published: October 2022

The aim of this paper is to explore the basic trend of dialectics in worshipping of Samai Mai temple at Tilaurkot, Kapilvastu. This cannot be denied that the dialectics or contradictory approaches might be thought to be the basic tenet of ameliorations. Dialectics here is used as debate/contradictions in behavioral patterns of the people in a specific culture. (People coming to worship Samai Mai) Dialectics is used as a gap between ideas and cultural beliefs and behavior of people in the Hindu cultural context. Celebrating worshipping is dialectic materialistic in nature it has great significance, bio-psychologically, socio-culturally, adaptive as well as perceived as religious. Religion is a ‘social glue’ that offers individuals purpose and meaning in their lives. That is why people believe in deities either for “Hope” or for “Fear”. They perform religious rituals as an honour to the divine power. Both worshipping and offering devotions, beliefs in cultural context are determined by their dialectics in it

Usage of Constructivist Approach for Critical Thinking
Authors: Ranjana Lakshmi
Published: October 2022

This paper is purposely designed to review on various factors related to the constructivist approach. A better understanding of the teaching methods and approaches by experienced teachers enhance critical thinking skills of students. In modern teaching emphasis is paid on the critical thinking and is the most prominent dimension of constructivist learning. The criteria used for learning in constructivism allows students to deepen their knowledge beyond rote memorization, making them to comprehend the content and turn them as an active participant rather than a mere observer. The usage of constructivist approach in teaching results in developing interactive relationship between the learner, the task and the teacher. Here, a teacher act as a facilitator of learning keeping in mind that students are not deprived of learning rather, they add to their experience through discovering knowledge on their own. Finally, it gets clear that students learn better in thinking and understanding when left free to discover knowledge in the guidance of a trained teacher so they arise from rote memorization develops love towards learning.

Application of Digital CCD Camera for Monitoring of Particle-In-Flight Parameters in Plasma and HVOF Spraying
Authors: Ignatiev M. , Smurov I. , Bertrand P.
Published: October 2022

This paper compares two approaches for monitoring in-flight particle properties during thermal spraying, one based on an industrial CCD camera, the other on a commercial diagnostic system. The camera and detector of the diagnostic tool were installed on opposite sides of a jet axis at a point where a workpiece would normally be placed for coating. Test results for a wide range of powder mixtures sprayed using different plasma and HVOF guns show good agreement between the two approaches in terms of the absolute values measured and the basic tendencies of variations in spraying parameters. A statistical evaluation of particle size, speed, and temperature is also carried out in order to determine the influence of process parameters on powder jet characteristics.

On the Neural Network Concept to Describe the Thermal Spray Deposition Process: An Introduction
Authors: Guessasma S. , Montavon G. , Coddet C.
Published: October 2022

The use of numerical modeling in the development and optimization of thermal spray processes has been hampered by the complexities of the process, with up to 50 interdependent variables involved, and the need to identify and explicitly define each relationship. This work demonstrates an alternative modeling approach that employs neural network learning algorithms. Plasma spraying was selected as the test case because it presents the greatest challenge in terms of processing parameters and the magnitude of their effect on layer quality. This paper provides an introduction to neural networks and its use in thermal spraying. A companion paper in these same proceedings presents an example in which the method is used to link processing parameters with in-flight particle characteristics in a dc plasma jet.

Authors: Guessasma S. , Montavon G. , Gougeon P. , Coddet C.
Published: October 2022

In this study, a neural network is used to model the complex relationships associated with dc plasma spraying. The paper describes how training and test data were experimentally obtained for alumina-titania particles processed under different conditions in order to assess various learning approaches and the predictive ability of the model. As reported, 80% of the test database was successfully recognized and the misclassifications are the result of not having enough data sets to adequately cover the wide range of values obtained during the experiments. This work considers in-flight particle characteristics as a first step of a more global approach that includes coating microstructure and mechanical properties as well.

Oxygen in Atomized MCrAlY Powder and Its Effect on HVOF Coatings
Authors: Dunlap M. , Meng G.
Published: October 2022

Since its commercial introduction in the early 1980s, it has been known that HVOF spraying can produce layers with low oxide levels, high toughness, and excellent adhesion strength. Unlike low-pressure and vacuum plasma spraying, the HVOF process does not require a controlled atmosphere. As a result, the oxygen content of the wettable powder plays a significant role in layer quality. In this paper, the oxygen content of normal MCrAlY powder is varied and its influence on coating quality is examined. It is shown that, by limiting the initial oxygen content in spray powder, higher density HVOF layers with lower oxide proportions can be achieved. Paper includes a German-language abstract.

Authors: Vuoristo P. , Ahmaniemi S. , Tuurna S. , Mäntylä T. , Cordano E. , Fignino F. , Gualco G.C.
Published: October 2022

HVOF spraying is used to produce NiCoCrAlYRe deposits that serve as adhesive layers for plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coatings. This paper investigates the influence of HVOF spray parameters on the structure and properties of the adhesion-promoting layers. Spray parameters are optimized to produce high layer densities with low degrees of oxidation and a surface roughness comparable to that of the thermal barrier coatings. A vacuum-sprayed layer with similar composition is also examined. Following the application of the TBC, the oxidized layers are characterized based on microstructure, oxide layer thickness, proportion of the NiAl phase, and imperfections at the boundary layer. It is observed that the less expensive HVOF layer offers the same protective properties as a vacuum plasma sprayed bond coat. Paper includes a German-language abstract.
On the Elastic Mechanical Properties of Thermally Sprayed Coatings
Authors: Buchmann M. , Escribano M. , Gadow R. , Bürkle G. , Mahlich M. , Fecht H.J.
Published: October 2022

This paper aims to evaluate various measurement methods for characterizing the elastic behavior of thermally sprayed composites. The behavior of layered composite materials is determined by the interplay of residual stresses, load stresses, and bonding strength. Measuring Young's modulus in such coatings can be difficult, however, due to brittleness and inhomogeneities in microstructure. In this work, the authors determine both the influence of the indentation load on Young's modulus and that of the analysis method. Paper includes a German-language abstract.
Modelling and Diagnostics of a Supersonic DC Plasma Jet Expanding at Low Pressure
Authors: Jodoin B. , Gindrat M. , Dorier J.-L. , Hollenstein C. , Loch M. , Barbezat G.
Published: October 2022

A numerical model of an argon jet exiting a LPPS torch has been developed and validated against enthalpy probe measurements for a slightly overexpanded jet at a chamber pressure of 100 mbar. Visualization of the jet using a CCD camera shows the presence of a small Mach reflection in the first compression-expansion cell with only oblique shock waves in the second cell. This jet topology is also observed in the model results. The images of the enthalpy probe on the axis of the plasma jet reveal that the shock layer, or shock-probe distance, varies according to the axial location of the probe. Shock-probe distance can be as large as 3 mm and should be considered when mapping plasma jets. Paper includes a German-language abstract.

Improvement of Interface Bond Strength Between Ceramic Thermal Barrier Coatings and Metallic Bond Coatings
Authors: Ogawa K. , Kato T. , Shoji T.
Published: October 2022

This study addresses a potential problem with thermal barrier coatings used on turbine blades and other superalloy components. High operating temperatures stimulate the growth of oxides at the interface between the thermal-barrier topcoat layer of the TBC and the metallic bond coat that anchors it to the substrate. Past studies have shown that cracks readily develop in these thermally grown oxide layers, reducing adhesion and giving rise to stress concentrations. To improve adhesion, a modified powder for the bond coat was developed by adding Ce and Si to the MCrAlY mixture. Zirconia-based TBCs sprayed using conventional and modified bond coat powders are examined in this present work in order to evaluate the effect of Ce and Si additions on oxide formation and adhesion strength at the bond coat interface. Paper includes a German-language abstract.

A large number of the most diverse problems related to almost all the most important branches of mathematical physics and designed to answer topical technical questions are associated with the use of Bessel functions. This paper introduces a h-difference equation analogue of the Bessel differential equation and investigates the properties of its solution, which is express using the Frobenius method by assuming a generalized power series. The authors find discrete analogue formulas for Bessel function and the h-Neumann function and these are solutions presented by a series with the h-fractional function t^(α)_h. Lastly they obtain the linear dependencies between h-functions Bessel on T_a.
Well-posedness of the initial-boundary value problems for the time-fractional degenerate diffusion equations
Authors:   Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Smadiyeva A.G. ,   Institute of Mathematics and Mathematical Modeling
Published: October 2022

This paper deals with the solving of initial-boundary value problems for the one-dimensional linear timefractional diffusion equations with time-degenerate diffusive coefficients t^β with β > 1 − α. The solutions to initial-boundary value problems for the one-dimensional time-fractional degenerate diffusion equations with Riemann-Liouville fractional integral I^1−α_0+,t of order α ∈ (0, 1) and with Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative D^α_0+,t of order α ∈ (0, 1) in the variable, are shown. The solutions to these fractional diffusive equations are presented using the Kilbas-Saigo function Eα,m,l(z). The solution to the problems is discovered by the method of separation of variables, through finding two problems with one variable. Rather, through finding a solution to the fractional problem depending on the parameter t, with the Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. The solution to the Sturm-Liouville problem depends on the variable x with the initial fractional-integral Riemann-Liouville condition. The existence and uniqueness of the solution to the problem are confirmed. The convergence of the solution was evidenced using the estimate for the KilbasSaigo function E_α,m,l(z) from and by Parseval’s identity.

Published: October 2022

Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is the humane and effective approach for stray and feral cats. Studies show that TNR programs improves the lives of feral cats, improves their relationships with the people who live near them, and decreases the size of colonies over time. In this kind of population management, unowned cats are humanely trapped, brought to a veterinarian to be sterilized, vaccinated, ear tipped and then returned to their outdoor home. In the present study TNR program was established on two university's campuses, at Salto and Itu counties, where feral and stray cat population was uncontrolled. From the beginning of the program in August 2020, an ongoing careful audit of campuses’ cats was conducted based on daily observations of cats seen at feeding sites and other campuses' locations, by the staff of the program. At Salto university campus 32 cats were recorded, 13 males and 19 females. At the Itu university campus 25 cats were recorded, 12 males and 13 females. The results of TNR programs are most commonly quantified by the number of cats sterilized. In the present study 75% of the cats’ colony (7 males and 17 females) were sterilized at Salto´s campus. In the other hand, at Itu´s campus, 68% were sterilized (6 males and 11 females). Furthermore, a total of 14 kittens were placed for adoption (6 from Salto and 8 from Itu). Issues and solutions for dealing with unowned free-roaming cats are not simple, inexpensive, or broadly applicable. Trap and remove for euthanasia have been practiced in many localities for many years as part of animal control programs. Nonetheless, no location has ever achieved long-term control of free-roaming cats by use of this method. The provision of affordable services to neuter free-roaming cats raises awareness that cats require and deserve responsible care and enables people to behave ethically when cats take up residence on their property or in their neighborhood.
Bem-estar animal e medicinas integrativas

Published: October 2022

Currently, animal welfare has a significant impact on animal production, whether in the economic or social aspect, as it is increasingly in importance in public opinion. It can be defined as the state of an individual in the face of its attempts to adapt to the environment in which it is inserted, being quite complex and individualized for each species, breeds and production systems. This definition also extends to companion animals, which are currently experiencing the effects of domestication and anthropomorphization, and it reflects in behavioral problems. In this context, complementary medicines emerge as allies, adding benefits to different species. They aim to restore and maintain health, addressing the individual as a whole, and taking into account the environment in which they live, their food, their interaction with other animals and with tutors. Within this scenario, it is expected that knowledge and practices related to animal welfare and complementary medicines will grow together, towards a better quality of life for animals in production and domestic environments.

Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive and cross-sectional study over a period of 4 years 10 months from January 2016 to October 2020 (retrospective over 4 years and prospective over 10 months) at the National Hospital of Niamey; Were included in our study all patients aged 0 to 21 with congenital heart disease confirmed by cardiac ultrasound who were hospitalized or monitored externally. Our data were analyzed by Epi Info software in version 7.2.2.6. 24. Descriptive and analytical statistics were used: the mean with standard deviation (SD) (for normal distributive variations), odds ratio (OR) and the median (Me) for the description of asymmetric distributive values. The comparison of the proportions was also carried out; to do this we used the statistical test of chi2. The test is significant if p <0.05 Results: The gender ratio was 1.005 in favour of men. The median age of our patients was 16.8 months with extremes ranging from 0 months to 247 months, the most represented age group is 29 days to 24 months with 81.1%. The majority of our patients (62.4%) came from urban areas, parental consanguinity was present in 42.2% of cases. 55.3% of our patients had reported a notion of recurrent respiratory infection. Respiratory distress was found in 29.5% of cases, followed by fatigue during feedings (16.7%). Tachycardia was found in 72.2% of our patients, 49.6% were undernourished. Heart murmur was found in 80.3% of our patients, 4.4% had Down's syndrome. Cardiomegaly was found in 64.4% of our patients, 15.7% had pulmonary hypervascularization. CIV was found in 27.03% followed by T4F, CAV, and CIA with 20.39 respectively; 17.20 and 16.95%. Surgery was indicated in 68.3%. Anemia was found in 55% of our patients, 49.6% had hyperleukocytosis. Antibiotic treatment was started in 72.7% of cases, 31.2% had benefited from diuretics, 23.8% from iron supplementation, 10.3% was on beta blockers. 18.7% had received surgical treatment, PAH and endocarditis were found in 1 and 0.73% of cases, respectively. 34.1% were awaiting surgery. The recorded death rate was 27.3%. Conclusion: Congenital heart disease is becoming more and more frequent and constitutes a very important health problem in our pediatric departments. They are dominated by CIVs and T4s. The diagnosis and their management are still difficult due to the lack of diagnostic and therapeutic means.
(Trans)missions: Monasteries as Sites of Cultural Transfers
Authors: Monika Brenišínová
Published: October 2022

(Trans)missions: Monasteries as Sites of Cultural Transfers focuses on the Catholic tradition of consecrated life (vita religiosa) from the High Middle Ages to the present. It gathers papers by authors from various disciplinary backgrounds, in particular art history, history, anthropology and translation studies. Finally, it includes two short reports on Czech projects on monastic topics. The chronological and geographical scope of the book is focused on the Western tradition from the High Middle Ages up to the present, specifically in the territory of Central Europe and Spain along with its overseas colonies. The region of Central Europe was interconnected with the Spanish Empire through the Austrian and Spanish Habsburgs, allowing the given topic to be studied in a broader international context, and to involve the Central European and Spanish territories in the global flow of information, thus incorporating the regional and national histories of individual European countries into global history. This involvement is also enabled by the study of interconnecting themes, such as cultural transfers within and between the Old and the New World, information flows between the Spanish and Austrian Habsburgs, the processes of individual and social identity formation, representation and othering of women, and the missionary activities of mendicant orders in the New World, together with their translation practices; and by the contextualization of monastic history and related themes within the processes of European internal and external colonization and evangelization.
Dobro wspólne w prawie kanonicznym i w prawie świeckim
Authors: Tokarski Tomasz
Published: October 2022

Dobro wspólne jest fundamentalnym pojęciem zarówno w prawie kanonicznym, jak i w prawie świeckim. Niemniej jednak sposób postrzegania tego pojęcia na gruncie tych dwóch odmiennych porządków prawnych różni się zasadniczo. W prawie kanonicznym dobro wspólne zazwyczaj odnoszone jest do wspólnoty politycznej i kościelnej. Dobro wspólne Kościoła związane jest z urzeczywistnianiem się wspólnoty Kościoła. Natomiast w prawie polskim dobro wspólne jest wartością i zasadą konstytucyjną, która ma zasadniczy wpływ na charakter państwa oraz relacje państwo-obywatel. Celem artykułu jest ukazanie miejsca i roli dobra wspólnego we współczesnym prawodawstwie kościelnym i państwowym.
Uświęcające zadanie Kościoła w Kodeksie Prawa Kanonicznego z 1983 roku. Wybrane aspekty
Authors: Kamiński Krzysztof
Published: October 2022

Kościół zgodnie z poleceniem swojego Założyciela – na podstawie nauczania soborowego – nieprzerwanie realizuje misję pasterską za pomocą trzech ściśle powiązanych ze sobą zadań: nauczania, uświęcania i rządzenia. Zadanie uświęcania zostało prawnie uregulowane w Kodeks Prawa Kanonicznego z 1983 roku w IV księdze, w kan. 834-1253. Dzielą się one na trzy części, które dotyczą: sakramentów, pozostałych aktów kultu Bożego oraz miejsc i czasów świętych. Uświęcające zadanie Kościoła wyraża się przede wszystkim w liturgicznym kulcie, w którym najistotniejsze miejsce stanowią sakramenty. Prawodawca ograniczył się do wskazania warunków wymaganych do ważności oraz godziwości funkcji i aktów potrzebnych przy realizacji kultu Bożego, do określenia materii i formy w sprawowaniu sakramentów i sakramentaliów oraz koniecznych zasad moralno-prawnych odnoszących się do szafarzy, celem właściwego ich sprawowania oraz szafowania w zakresie posługi uświęcania. Wypełniając powołanie do świętości, każdy wierny zobowiązany jest do uczestnictwa w zadaniu uświęcania. Główną rolę odgrywają w nim biskupi, których wspomagają prezbiterzy i diakoni. Również wierni świeccy uczestniczą w posłudze uświęcenia przez spełnianie obowiązków chrześcijańskich.
Beautifying the voice in reciting the Qur’an and its relationship to musical maqamat: an analytical study
Authors: ELSAYED KHALIL DR. MOHAMED ABDELMONEM
Published: October 2022

This study is about the Qur'anic recitation and the misinterpretation of the word _taghanni_, and an attempt to summarise the sayings of scholars in this section. _Taghanni_ does not mean that one should sing while reciting the Quran; rather, it means that one should make their voice beautiful when reciting it. Making the voice beautiful when reciting is required so that both the reader and the listener can focus properly and benefit. Scholars from the past and present have disagreed on the issue of reciting the Qur'an with melodies and _maqamat_, also known as "singing the Qur'an." This is after they agreed that transgression by singing or composing, if it reaches the point of exaggeration, increase or decrease by satisfying the movements, or lengthening, or singing, or otherwise, is prohibited, and it is not permissible to do so with the Holy Quran. Imam Al-Nawawi and others have stated that scholars are unanimous in recommending that the voice in the Qur'an be improved as long as it does not violate the agreed-upon rules of recitation.

This paper first, investigates the responsiveness of stock prices to changes in interest rates in Malawi, a low-income country in sub-Saharan Africa. Secondly, determines whether Gross Domestic Product of such economies respond significantly to changes in stock prices. Time series data from January 2001 to December 2019 are utilised. Unit root tests indicate that each variable is integrated of order one and the Johansen test for cointegration reveal that the variables are cointegrated, with one cointegrating equation. Therefore, a vector error correction model has been adopted to investigate the short and long-run dynamic relationship among the variables. Results of Granger causality tests and impulse response analysis indicate that stock prices do respond to changes in interest rates. Moreover, Gross Domestic Product also responds to changes in stock prices. Thus, contrary to previous studies, this paper finds that an asset price channel operating through stock prices exists in Malawi. More specifically, this study finds that variations in interest rates cause significant changes in stock prices which in turn cause changes in Gross Domestic Product. Among others, the study recommends that the monetary authorities should raise public awareness on investment opportunities available in stock markets.
