In the problem of relational bounded three bodies, the stability of quasicircular orbits close to the central body was investigated. In the case when it is not relational, the orbits of the test body can be described through the Hill surfaces. The location of the central body corresponds to the origin, the second body moves in a circular orbit that is around the central (first) body. The equations of motion of the problem of bounded, relational three bodies were investigated for circular orbits. Using these equations of relational motion, the stability problem of the relational quasicircular orbits of the test body in regions close to the central body was investigated.

This pioneering study investigated the partial derivatives of the dependence of the compression modulus of ice-six on pressure and temperature, and the coefficient of volume expansion on the temperature at high pressure and low temperature. Ice six is documented on the phase diagram between the pressures 600 and 2000 MPa and between the temperatures 110 and 330 K. The pressure and temperature dependence of the all-round compression module was practically implemented in a multilayer cylinder-piston vessel. The change in the relative volume of the sample was measured using a transducer which converts linear translational motion into electrical pulses. The pressure of the sample was measured by measuring the electrical resistance of tin and gallium conductors and phase transition points of polymorphic ice modifications. The temperature of this ice-six modification was determined by a graduated copperconstantan thermocouple. Moreover, in this paper, the Debye characteristic temperatures of ice-six and the Gruneisen constant are estimated.

The features of the change in the regimes "diffusion-gravitational concentration convection" in isothermal ternary gas mixtures have been studied experimentally and numerically. It is shown that, at a certain pressure, due to the difference in the diffusion coefficients of the components, an instability of mechanical equilibrium arises, leading to the appearance of structured convective formations. Calculation results are compared with experimental data on the location of the instability boundaries in the studied gas mixtures. Intensity of convective mixing is also influenced by the content of the component with the highest molecular weight in the initial mixture. In terms of Rayleigh numbers, a boundary relation is obtained that determines the regime change. The solution of the problem of multicomponent mixing in a cylindrical vertical channel of finite height with solid and impermeable boundaries for the substance made it possible to determine the concentration distribution along the length.

‘I’m Not at All Protected and I Think Other Women Should Know That, That They’re Not Protected Either’: Victim–Survivors’ Experiences of ‘Misidentification’ in Victoria’s Family Violence System
Authors: Reeves Ellen
Published: June 2021

The misidentification of women as predominant aggressors has emerged as a topical issue in family violence research, with feminist scholarship suggesting that such trends may be attributed to a range of factors, including incident-based policing and a misunderstanding of the ways in which women use violence against their partners. Where existing research has primarily focused on policing practices in relation to misidentification, this article explores the impacts of misidentification on the lives of women victim–survivors of family violence in Victoria (Australia), a jurisdiction that has recently seen significant reforms to family violence systems in the wake of the Victorian Royal Commission into Family Violence (2016). Using data from interviews with 32 system stakeholders and survey responses from 11 women who have experienced misidentification in Victoria, this study explores misidentification within the family violence intervention order system. It demonstrates that being misidentified as a predominant aggressor on a family violence intervention order can have a significant impact on women’s lives and their access to safety, highlighting the need for improved policing and court responses to the issue beyond existing reforms.
Physical Education in Moroccan primary schools: What Contributions to the Development of Children's Personalities
Authors: HARFOUF SOULAIMAN
Published: June 2021

In Morocco, physical education (PE) in primary school is justified by its contribution to the integral formation of children. It has a positive impact on the development of the personality of those who invest in it. This is the reason why PE is included as a separate subject in the curricula of the different levels of the primary cycle. However, several factors minimise the effect of practising PE in schools and make it difficult for PE to make a real contribution to the development of children's personalities.This article therefore sets out to show that in the absence of rational programming, qualified physical educators and suitable and sufficient material conditions, PE cannot claim to make a real contribution to the development of children's personality.

Impact of environmental conditions on the levels of stress and breeding performance in Wistar rats: conventional environment versus environmentally controlled housing.
Authors: VS Harikrishnan
Published: June 2021

It has been established that providing comparable and standard environmental conditions to house experimental rats is of high importance. However, there is growing evidence that rats prefer higher temperatures owing to their thermoneutral zone that lies between 28-34°C. This experiment validates the stress levels of Wistar rats of both sexes housed in conventional conditions about 24-31°C and a relative humidity of 70-92% in a tropical animal facility when compared to rats housed in controlled temperatures of 20-24°C with humidity maintained between 30-70%. Adequate air-changes to maintain ammonia-free environment was provided with a power-exhaust system in a conventional setup and with the individually ventilated caging system in the environmentally controlled group. To assess stress, faecal corticosteroid metabolite assay was done in naïve animals and in a set of animals that underwent retro-orbital bleeding under general anaesthesia. Mothering ability, fecundity and preweaning mortality were also compared between animals housed in two different conditions. Results showed no differences in stress hormone levels between the groups. However, faecal weights differed between males and females in both naïve and orbital bled groups. Animals housed in controlled environment clearly had better breeding data with lesser preweaning mortality in comparison to the conventionally housed rats. Further studies are required to elucidate whether the results are comparable when conducted during all seasons of the year at different locations across the globe.
