Educación Física y ocio produciendo lo público-urbano en la ciudad de La Plata: desde la transición democrática hasta la consolidación del neoliberalismo
Authors: Ferretty Emmanuel
Published: May 2024

Este artículo problematiza las funciones de la Educación Física y del ocio en políticas implementadas en la ciudad de La Plata a partir de la transición a la democracia, en un proceso de apertura y de consolidación progresiva del espacio público urbano como nodo de la vida colectiva. Los usos políticos del deporte y de la recreación durante la celebración del centenario de La Plata (1982) intentaron sostener un orden dictatorial desestabilizado, apelando a las tradiciones fundacionales y al patrimonio cultural platense. La saga de intendentes radicales que gobernaron durante el resto de la década del 80 impulsó un perfil recreativo con anclaje en las periferias e incorporó al aerobismo como propuesta masiva. Sin embargo, durante los años 90 el justicialismo se focalizó en la deportivización y la internacionalización del casco urbano fundacional desde una perspectiva patrimonialista. Por último, en la primera década del siglo XXI comenzó la transición hacia un imaginario de ciudad saludable y sustentable, con énfasis en la actividad física y el ocio para el bienestar comunitario, incorporando prácticas alternativas y emergentes. Entre los hallazgos se destacan las intervenciones de estudiantes y profesoras/es en educación física en la coproducción de lo público y de lo urbano entre el Estado municipal y la sociedad platense, fundamentalmente, en coyunturas críticas.

A holistic approach to the total energy and cost for carbon capture and sequestration
Authors: Michaelidesa Efstathios E.
Published: May 2024

Carbon capture and sequestration from a stationary source comprises four distinct engineering processes: separation of CO2 from the other flue gases, compression, transportation, and injection into the chosen storage site. An analysis of the thermodynamic and transport properties of CO2 shows that dissolving this gas in seawater at depths more than 600 m is, most likely, an optimal long-term storage method; and that for transportation, the CO2 must be in the denser supercritical state at pressures higher than 7.377 MPa. The separation, compression, transportation, and injection processes require significant energy expenditures, which are determined in this paper using realistic equipment efficiencies, for the cases of two currently in operation coal power plants in Texas. The computations show that the total energy requirements for carbon removal and sequestration are substantial, close to one-third of the energy currently generated by the two power plants. The cost analysis shows that two parameters – the unit cost of the pipeline and the discount factor of the corporation – have a very significant effect on the annualized cost of the CCS process. Doubling the unit cost of the pipeline increases the total annualized cost of the entire CCS project by 36% and increasing the discount rate from 5% to 15% increases this annualized cost by 32%.
Evaluation of the effect of rotational speed and rheological nature on heat transfer of complex fluid between two cylinders
Authors: Benmansoura Abdeljalil , Laidoudia Houssem
Published: May 2024

This paper presents numerical results for flow behavior between a cold inner cylinder and a hot outer cylinder. Both cyl-inders are placed horizontally. The space separating the two compartments is completely filled with a fluid of a complex rheological nature. In addition, the outer container is subjected to a constant and uniform rotational speed. The results of this work were obtained after solving the differential equations for momentum and energy. The parameters studied in this research are: the intensity of thermal buoyancy, the speed of rotation of the outer container and the rheological nature of the fluid. These elements are expressed mathematically by the following values: Richardson number (Ri = 0 and 1), Reyn-olds number (Re = 1 to 40), power-law number (n = 0.8, 1 and 1.4) and Prandtl number (Pr = 50). The results showed that the speed of rotation of the cylinder and the rheological nature of the fluids have an effective role in the process of heat transfer. For example, increasing the rotational speed of the enclosure and/or changing the nature of fluid from shear-thickening into shear-thinning fluid improves the thermal transfer rate.

Authors: Hea Wanting , Huang Hai
Published: May 2024

Building heating is an indispensable part of people's winter life in cold regions, but energy conservation and emission reduction should also be taken into account during the heating process. This paper provides a concise overview of the heating system based on air-source heat pump radiant floor and its control strategy. It also optimizes a control system based on thermal comfort and energy efficiency ratio, and analyzes a room in Xining City, Qinghai Province, to test the heating system performance under two control strategies. The final results show that under the traditional control strategy, the cumulative working time of the heating system within a day was 15 hours, the average indoor temperature was 17.36℃, the temperature standard deviation was 2.08℃, and the average power consumption was 189.6 kWh. Under the improved control strategy, the cumulative working time of the heating system within a day was reduced to 10 hours, the average indoor temperature was 18.56℃, the temperature standard deviation was 0.92℃, and the average power consumption was 132.5 kWh.
Image types revisited. A texto-material approach for creating image types
Authors: Tarnutzer Seraina , Lobinger Katharina , Lucchesi Federico
Published: May 2024

In visual communication research there are already several methodological approaches for creating image types. These approaches work with creating typologies based on the representational features of visuals / image motifs, reducing the complexity of extensive visual material. However, we argue that in everyday visual communication, the meaning of images depends largely on the practices in which they are embedded and not on the motif. This paper’s aim is to propose a methodological design for an image type analysis that considers both the representational and the artifact-related component of images, following a texto-material understanding of images. We illustrate the procedure step by step through an empirical study that explores visuals in couple relationships in Switzerland. The method enables a qualitative analysis of a large number of visuals that combines a) the creation of image types and b) a dynamic approach to in-depth visual analysis. Image types resulting from this procedure are more heterogeneous in motifs compared to previous traditions of image type analysis but allow for considering both the visual and the material dimensions of visuals, e.g., practices in which images are embedded. The approach builds on existing methods and contributes to the advancements of methods within visual communication research.

Authors: Chengyu Wang , Kakha Kuncharee , Khan Muhammad Shahid
Published: May 2024

Objective: With the continuous improvement of community management functions, community drug rehabilitation management in China has also received increasing attention. Currently, research mainly focuses on the policy and measure reforms of management departments. According to relevant data, the willingness of drug users to actively participate in community drug rehabilitation management is still low.
 
Theoretical Framework: Through a search for quantitative data, it was discovered that two independent factors impact this variable: Program outcomes and small teamwork competence. Furthermore, there exists an additional mediating variable: Client-centered management practices have a correlation with program outcomes and have an impact on the willingness of clients. Client-centered management practice correlates with the proficiency of small workgroups and impacts clients' receptiveness.
 
Method: The researcher used qualitative and quantitative sequential exploratory mixed methods to achieve this. In the qualitative stage, the study focused on key stakeholders from five Correction Institutes using interviews, focus groups, and lessons learned as tools for data collection. A purposive sample of 27 individuals was selected. The researcher used content and topic analysis to develop a conceptual framework and a questionnaire. In the quantitative stage, the study included drug addicts in correction institutes. A sample of 356 respondents was sampled using a systematic sampling method.
 
Results and Discussion: Through literature research and field interviews, our project team found that customer centered management practices, small team cooperation ability, and the achievements of community management projects have an impact on the willingness of drug addiction patients to participate in community drug rehabilitation. Therefore, a structural equation model that affects the willingness to participate in community drug rehabilitation is proposed. We hope to explore the optimal structural relationship through a mixed qualitative and quantitative research method, and provide reference for relevant academic research.
 
Research Implications: As recommendations, managers should analyze project role links and emphasize cross-role communication and collaboration. For future studies, it is recommended to use qualitative data such as work process observations and examine the long-term consequences of participants' Willingness.

Exploring the Power of Language in Persuasion and Communication through the Lens of Ella Minnow Pea and The Unbearable Lightness of Being
Authors: Sadeeq Shaaban Sulaiman
Published: May 2024

Cognitive structures embody mental concepts and direct our thinking about the world. In addition, semantic approaches reveal the conceptual structures involved in organizing the meaning of a word in light of the frames by which the meanings of words are understood. To understand the most prominent cognitive theories and semantic concepts, one must rely and refer to the cognitive model consisting of the frame theory which is a cognitive theory that seeks to embody the mental concepts derived from the linguistic structure. Frames are the mental structures underlie the lexical unit and draw its paths of meaning and define its embodied frame. They also translate the process of interaction between language and the human mind in creating new meanings and conceptual concepts. Among the scholars who developed this theory is the American linguistic Charles Fillmore (1929-2014) who had a strong presence in the field of behavioral psychology through his structural and lexical semantic researches. He was one of the founders of mental and cognitive linguistics along with George Lakoff and others. Fillmore insisted on the great importance of semantics and its value in explicating different morphological and syntactic phenomena.

Additionally, such materials tend to increase EFL learners’ interest and motivation in language learning. This study aims to explore the attitude of Kurdish EFL university students regarding the importance of authentic listening materials for improving their language proficiency. Moreover, it seeks to investigate any potential challenges faced by Kurdish EFL university students when they are exposed to authentic listening materials. To achieve these aims, this study employed a mixed method research design using a questionnaire and interview questions. A total of 76 students from the University of Human Development in Sulaimani City participated in the study. Of these, 18 volunteers have been interviewed to provide further details to corroborate the collected data from the questionnaire. The questionnaire’s findings has revealed that the overwhelming majority of the respondents have a positive attitude towards authentic listening materials in EFL classes. The results further showed that more low-proficiency students reported difficulties, such as vocabulary and cultural obstacles than high-proficiency ones. The findings of the interviews mainly supported the questionnaire data. It can be concluded that the use of authentic listening materials could motivate Kurdish EFL university students and enhance their oral language proficiency. Therefore, communicative English classes at the tertiary level should be supplemented with authentic listening materials to prepare students for real-life communication.

Exploring the Hidden Curriculum on Gender in Contemporary Picturebooks from the Book Dash Collection
Authors: Morweng Thato
Published: May 2024

In this article, I discuss how gender roles are represented in a selection of South African picturebooks, paying particular attention to how these books cumulatively constitute a hidden curriculum. The picturebooks of the Book Dash collection, an online collection of free children’s literature created in South Africa, have been chosen as the case study. The data have been analysed using thematic analysis. Eagly and Wood’s Social Role Theory provides the theoretical framework. Findings from this study suggest that when the picturebooks are read cumulatively, the persistence of gender role stereotypes can be observed in the Book Dash collection, which depicts gendered characters in various ways that could be read as both perpetuating and challenging stereotypes. The recommendation of this study for teacher education is that aspects of the hidden curriculum should be addressed carefully when teaching or selecting children’s literature for children.

Objetivo: Descrever a fisiopatologia da asma correlacionando-a com as novas abordagens terapêuticas. Revisão bibliográfica: A asma é uma doença inflamatória crônica de caráter heterogêneo cuja manifestação relaciona-se não apenas à quadros atópicos, mas também à fatores como infecções das vias aéreas, envelhecimento e sobrepeso. Apesar da existência de diferentes mecanismos fisiopatológicos alérgicos e não alérgicos, os sintomas da asma comumente se manifestam na forma de dispneia, sibilância e tosse. A inflamação crônica das vias aéreas é mediada por células e moléculas pró-inflamatórias da imunidade inata e componentes da imunidade adaptativa tais como os linfócitos T CD3+CD4+ (Th1, Th2, Th17). O diagnóstico se dá através da correlação clínica com provas de avaliação da função pulmonar. O tratamento convencional da asma baseia-se no uso de broncodilatadores e corticoides inalatórios. Entretanto, existe uma parcela de pacientes asmáticos cujas exacerbações da doença não são controladas por tais medicamentos. Para esses, é necessário introduzir uma terapia individualizada, avaliando a endotipagem e o uso de terapias biológicas e imunoterapia. Considerações finais: A fisiopatologia da asma está relacionada à ativação do sistema imune, desse modo, compreender seus endótipos, bem como instituir um tratamento baseado no conhecimento dos mecanismos imunopatológicos, são essenciais para a oferta de uma conduta eficaz.

This study represents an analysis of the modern educational process in the field of development of piano performance skills in higher educational institutions. The author characterises the foundations of music education, as well as the role of modern information technologies, which have become widespread in this area. The article also provides factors that negatively affect the development of this aspect of music education, among which special attention is paid to the low level of competence and the use of digital devices. The author considers special software that can increase the effectiveness of learning to play the piano. As a result, it was found that due to the widespread use of information technologies, there is a need to integrate them into the educational process, as well as to adjust the piano teaching methods. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to increase the level of competence of the teaching staff, improve teaching methods, as well as the education system as a whole, which should reflect modern global trends.

Main-group metals as supporting ligands for transition metals offer potential for bimetallic synergistic effects. We investigated a bismuth-palladium system utilizing a PBiP pincer ligand (BiPdCl) as precatalysts for electrocatalytic proton reduction with thiophenol. Rinse tests revealed the formation of a surface-bound active species, likely comprised of Pd-based heterogenous materials. NMR and UV-visible spectroscopic studies unveiled that in diluted solutions of polar coordinating solvents, the chloride trans to the bismuthane readily dissociates, affording the solvent-coordinated species (BiPdsolvent) as the predominant solution species. Following thiol– solvent ligand exchange, an equilibrium mixture of the solvent-bound species and the thiolate complex (BiPdS) forms. The crystal structures of BiPdS and an acetonitrile-coordinated model complex (BiPdAcN) shows the thermodynamic trans influence of the bismuthane ligand. Structural analysis, corroborated by computational investigations, suggests that the reduction of BiPdsolvent is primarily ligand-based than Pd-centered, hinting at a Bi(III)–Pd(0) oxidation states rather than the Bi(I)–Pd(II) model suggested by the Lewis structure of BiPdsolvent. The electron-rich Pd and electron-poor Bi centers explain its electrochemical decomposition similar to other Pd(0) species. Our findings shed light on the electronic properties and reactivities of the studied Bi–Pd compounds, offering an example of ambiguous oxidation states within this system.

Periodic responses to non-periodic energy inputs are hallmarks of living systems, that lead to metastable features across length scales, exemplified by phenomena such as oscillations. Experimental attempts to mimic such phenomenon have primarily utilized (macro)molecular building blocks that enable precise control over interactions and thus hierarchical design. Nanoparticle-based systems have largely remained unexplored in the generation of oscillatory features. In this study, we propose a nanosystem featuring hierarchical response to light energy input where the subtle interplay of thermoplasmonic effects and reversible surface chemistry of DNA-based ligands render oscillatory hydrodynamic flows. The slow aggregation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) serves as a positive feedback loop, while fast photothermal disassembly acts as the negative feedback. These asymmetric feedback loops, combined with thermal hysteresis as time delay mechanism, are essential ingredients for orchestrating an oscillating response. Our findings contribute to the advancement of oscillating systems, thereby paving the way for the development of next-generation dynamic materials.

Olefin metathesis is a versatile strategy for functional group interconversion around C=C bonds. Here, we investigate in detail a recently discovered promotional effect, where co-feeding 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene isomers (4MEs) increases propylene self-metathesis rates on silica-supported Mo and W oxides by orders of magnitude. Through detailed kinetic measurements on MoOx/SiO2, we validate a dynamic site renewal and decay cycle, analogous to WOx/SiO2, which operates in tandem with the Chauvin cycle and can be effectively modulated by co-feeding 4MEs. Active site titrations indicate that the promotional effect results from an increased density of active sites rather than enhanced per-site catalytic activity. Spectroscopic analyses reveal that the renewal and decay of Mo alkylidene active sites involve proton-transfer mediated by proximal acidic Si-OH groups. Additionally, the co-fed promoters not only reduce Mo (VI) to Mo (IV), thereby increasing the number of pre-active sites, but also act as proton relays, enhancing proton-transfer steps. This dual functionality elucidates the mechanism underlying the enhanced metathesis activity observed with promoter addition.
