According to the results, the examined carbonized sample consists of particles of various size fractions, which are covered with an organic mass containing oxygen. The composition includes dispersed amorphous calcium carbonate, which is confirmed by the decrease in oxygen content on the surface of the particles after heating the sample in an inert atmosphere up to 800 °C. The mineral part of the carbonized material contains elements characteristic of brown coal, such as Ca and Mg. The microstructure of the sample identified is also characteristic of brown coal carbonized materials.
Online confidence interval estimation for federated heterogeneous optimization
Authors: Wang Yu , Cui Wenquan , Xu Jianjun ,   International Institute of Finance, School of Management, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China
Published: November 2023

From a statistical viewpoint, it is essential to perform statistical inference in federated learning to understand the underlying data distribution. Due to the heterogeneity in the number of local iterations and in local datasets, traditional statistical inference methods are not competent in federated learning. This paper studies how to construct confidence intervals for federated heterogeneous optimization problems. We introduce the rescaled federated averaging estimate and prove the consistency of the estimate. Focusing on confidence interval estimation, we establish the asymptotic normality of the parameter estimate produced by our algorithm and show that the asymptotic covariance is inversely proportional to the client participation rate. We propose an online confidence interval estimation method called separated plug-in via rescaled federated averaging. This method can construct valid confidence intervals online when the number of local iterations is different across clients. Since there are variations in clients and local datasets, the heterogeneity in the number of local iterations is common. Consequently, confidence interval estimation for federated heterogeneous optimization problems is of great significance.

Authors:   Clinic of Maxillofacial Surgery, University Hospital ", Yankov Yanko ,   Sveta Marina",   , Medical University - Varna, Bulgaria.
Published: November 2023

Background: The auriculotemporal nerve is one of the main branches of the mandibular nerve. It provides sensory innervation to the auricle, the scalp in the temporal region, the temporomandibular joint and part of the dura mater, the parasympathetic innervation of the parotid salivary gland, as well as the external surface of the tympanic membrane, and the sympathetic innervation of the sweat glands and of the blood vessels passing through the parotid gland. Its interruption during surgical interventions or trauma can results in its most common disease - Frey's syndrome. This article is an overview and is based on 23 foreign scientific works - articles published in refereed and renowned scientific publications and anatomy atlases by world-renowned and proven specialists in their field. Review Results: The auriculotemporal nerve is a sensory nerve which includes secretory parasympathetic vasomotor sympathetic fibers coming from the otic ganglion. It is a branch of the mandibular nerve (V3). Its five terminal nerve branches are front auricular branches, branches for the external auditory canal, branches for the temporomandibular joint, branches for the parotid gland and superficial temporal branches. Frey's syndrome occurs when the auriculotemporal nerve is cut or injured proximal to the site of separation of the branches for the parotid gland or are severed themselves. The clinical picture characteristic of Frey's syndrome includes redness, sweating, warmth and itching in the area of innervation of the nerve and less often pain. Conclusion: Knowledge of the anatomy of the auriculotemporal nerve and Frey's syndrome are essential for understanding its nature and stand on the basis of its prevention.

Reducing wheel wear of a motorised metro car on a curved track with a small curve radius
Authors: Matej Jan Leszek , Orliński Piotr
Published: November 2023

A structural solution was proposed to enable passive control of the wheelsets of a motorised metro car on curved track with a small curve radius. This effect was achieved by varying the stiffness of the guidance of the wheelsets in the horizontal plane of the frame of each bogie on which the wagon body rests. This ensured the required critical speed of the metro wagon when moving on straight track, and allowed for reduced mechanical wheel wear and better steering of the bogies when moving on curved track with a small radius of curvature. Parameters specific to the design of modern metro cars were taken into account. Current knowledge of non-linear lateral dynamics of rail vehicles and the specialist computer programme Vi-Rail were used to perform the calculations involving simulation models.
Datos y gestión carcelaria: ¿herramientas para la reinserción?

Published: November 2023

Aunque al compararlo con otros países de la región, el sistema carcelario chileno aún parece estar en mejores condiciones relativas, este es precario al ser examinado frente a países desarrollados donde se gestiona mejor la reinserción. Aunque esta precariedad suele mirarse solo en términos del hacinamiento, existen otros problemas más invisibles, siendo uno de ellos los datos con los que la institución trabaja y gestiona su la reinserción, en particular. En base a una revisión de los campos contenidos en uno de los sistemas informáticos más utilizados por Gendarmería (el llamado “Sistema Internos”), este artículo analiza sus variables, argumentando que esta herramienta de datos refleja y perpetua una forma de nombrar a las personas encarceladas solo en función de sus déficits, carencias y “riesgos” individualmente-determinados. Asimismo, los datos contenidos en este sistema de registro resultan insuficientes para diseñar, implementar y monitorear avances en la reinserción de las personas encarceladas, de acuerdo con la literatura especializada internacional.

Determining Tourist Expenditures: Do Metrics and Levels Matter?
Authors: Sharon Teitler Regev  , Shlomit Hon Snir  , Anabel Lifszyc-Friedlander
Published: November 2023

This article seeks to analyze and compare expenditures made by independent tourists, measured using various metrics. The empirical application relies on quantile regression analysis and examines the determinant factors of different types of expenditure, while also accounting for spending variations among heavy, moderate, and light spenders.

The empirical findings confirm the high complexity of the nature of tourist expenditures. The evidence indicates that the effects of the independent variables vary not only with respect to the expenditure metric but also as a function of expenditure level. Independent tourist expenditures across all quantiles and metrics depend upon the size of the traveling party, duration of stay, type of accommodation, and whether the tourists are from the US Moreover, men spent more than women among light and heavy spenders; social media increases the expenditure for moderate and heavy spenders; and for heavy spenders, business traveler expenditure is less than other travelers.
Fields of power: the moderation of relational moments
Authors: Chidiac Marie-Anne
Published: November 2023

"Abstract This article addresses the concept of power in Gestalt therapy. It builds particularly on the work of two field theorists: Kurt Lewin and Pierre Bourdieu, and proposes a view of power as moderating the field and impacting the relational moment. Moving beyond the notion of power as visible coercion, the article explores the more implicit power that lies in our everyday privilege and our ground. It outlines two key moderations of power that play out at both the individual and systemic levels. Highlighting contextual power in such a way also leads to a re-evaluation of Gestalt’s change theory as being driven by contextual supports as well as organismic needs. Finally, the article concludes with reflections on the implications for practice. Keywords power, field theory, relational, theory of change, privilege, Kurt Lewin, Pierre Bourdieu, Habitus"

Published: November 2023

The study sought to carry out a critical review of literature on tax education and tax compliance. Based on the review of empirical literature, it was found that tax education has significant effect on tax compliance. It was consequently concluded that tax education is important in predicting the level of tax compliance. The study recommends that in order to improve the tax compliance level, governments should put in place and sustain public tax awareness programs as these will highlight the importance of tax revenue which is driven by tax compliance level. Tax authorities should support tax education as this has a favorable impact on taxpayer compliance and subsequently tax revenue. In order to improve on the general tax knowledge of citizens and subsequently increase tax compliance, revenue authorities and players in the educational sector should collaborate and come up with tax awareness activities.

Recycling Ujamaa Philosophy in Tanzania: A Critical Discourse Analysis of John Pombe Magufuli’s Speeches
Authors: Ndaluka Thomas
Published: November 2023

This chapter examines the trends and applicability of Ujamaa philosophy that were regarded as secular after the late Mwalimu Julius Nyerere’s leadership regime (1961-1985). The chapter tries to answer the following questions: is Ujamaa still alive and used to unite the Tanzanians? And Ujamaa philosophy is a lesson that will never be erased in Tanzanians? Using critical discourse analysis, this paper examines speeches and remarks by the late Magufuli at different locations, and consequently compared with practices conducted from 2015–2020, when Magufuli was in office as the 5th President of the United Republic of Tanzania. These speeches were collected from government records available at the Parliament and President’s offices. The chapter suggests that there were similarities between the late Magufuli’s speeches and remarks and the Ujamaa philosophy/ideology/policy, as reflected in both the adoption and adaption of the Ujamaa principles and unification of citizens as a nation. Such principles were evident in the context of the government emphasis on the control over major means of production versus the private sector, control of the media, stress on public servants’ professionalism and ethical conducts, integrity regarding the use of public funds and properties, development through cooperative societies and emphasis on self-reliance and national unity. It can be argued that the return of socialist principles was observed through changes in macro-economic policies in Tanzania. However, contrary to Nyerere’s Ujamaa philosophy, which emphasized the separation of religion and state, Magufuli’s government embraced the mix of the state and religion. This time the country was united to fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
Origination, Transposition and Decolonization: Indian Perspectives on Unity in Mauritius as Basis of the Bandung Conference
Authors: Dabee Rajendrakumar
Published: November 2023

Mauritius is a land of many cultures, a pot pourri of cultural and religious practices garnered from different continents, but essentially from Africa and Asia. Slaves and indentured labourers from the former and latter continents respectively, were successively introduced to the island by European colonizers. Both races faced hardships of various kinds at the mercy of their so-called masters. Against the supremacy of the White Man, they had no choice other than to rely on their respective Ethos. What devices, which values and world-views were adopted to face the proselytic onslaughts and economic exploitation by a culture which considered itself superior and viewed others as subaltern and thus deserving of annihilation? This chapter exposes and examines the double-sided struggle led by Indian labourers or Apravasi (immigrants) to the island, bound by their Contract. While on one hand they strove to reconstruct their uprooted beliefs and customs by transposing their ancient homeland and its timeless ethos, on the other they battled relentlessly against proselytic agendas of missionary-colonizers zealous to extend their following. Transposition was accomplished through the correspondence of geographical and topographical features present on the island. Proselytism was curtailed by fostering a communitarian solidarity and seeking refuge in the perennial wisdom of Indian Philosophy, the origins of which go back to primitive ideas of unity in the Vedas. When placed in the context of the Bandung Conference, this battle on double fronts led by the Indian immigrants in Mauritius reveals the significance of that historic moment in 1955. This is because both the battle and the Conference, as this chapter aims to demonstrate, are based on eternal principles embodied in an Indian Ethos.
So Near Yet So Far: Nicaragua and Costa Rica's Divergent Fate in Pursuing Democracy
Authors: Yang Mingxuan
Published: November 2023

This paper compared the democratic development of Costa Rica and Nicaragua. Although two neighboring Latin American countries with similar culture, language, and historical root, their trajectories of political development are divergent. While Costa Ricas democracy has consolidated, Nicaragua is still struggling in authoritarian rule with dismal socioeconomic development. The paper found that the two seemingly similar countries different fates result from various factors from the role of military, and political systems to the disparity of socioeconomic development. Costa Ricans stable democratic environment then enabled the entrenchment of a pro-democratic political culture that is absent in Nicaragua. The multi-perspective analysis of the two similar countries could have further implications on the comparative studies of countries that share similar social, cultural, and political origins but with different outcomes of democratic development.

This study examines the policys outcomes, including increased recyclable recovery, reduced hazardous waste, and conversion of waste to valuable resources. Economic benefits such as job creation and a recycling-driven economy are discussed as government investment has boosted the recyclable sector. Growing customer demand under the new policy also creates more jobs. However, challenges such as economic strain and impacts on informal waste collectors should also be acknowledged. Environmental and social concerns, such as plastic bag usage and public dissatisfaction are also addressed. Drawing lessons from waste classification policies in Tokyo and Germany, potential solutions are suggested, including regulatory enhancements, charging mechanisms, stakeholder cooperation, and expanded recycling channels. The abstract underscores the need for continuous evaluation, adaptation, and collaboration to ensure the policys success in fostering a sustainable urban environment.

Authors: E Pavithra , Raju R. L. N.
Published: November 2023

This paper investigates the relationship between men, masculinity, and nature in a rural caste-based society, with a particular focus on Tamil Nadu. Masculinity, a socially constructed concept, varies across cultures and historical periods. Men, masculinity and nature relation is primarily looked from the perspective of Ecofeminism, which critiques the interconnected oppression of women and nature within patriarchal systems. On the other hand, ecomasculinity specifically examines how traditional ideals of masculinity influence men’s attitudes and behaviours towards the environment. Employing the Ecomasculinty lens, this paper intends to explore the subtleties of the relationship between men, masculinity, and nature in a caste-based society in Tamil Nadu. The study employs textual analysis. The text considered is Heat by Poomani, translated into English by N. Kalyana Raman. The analysis will closely examine landscape representation, ecological elements, masculinity and the portrayal of caste in the novel. The caste system is considered vital in the study, as it influences the characters’ relationship with the land and their perceptions of nature. Overall, the paper aims to comprehensively understand the complex relationship between masculinity and nature, considering the intersectionality and plurality of masculinities in different social and cultural contexts. By exploring the relationship between men, masculinity, and nature in the caste-based society of Tamil Nadu, the study brings out the impact of social structures on the environment and how men relate to it in the said context.

Een gevoel van saamhorigheid onder studenten en tussen studenten en docenten is belangrijk voor goed onderwijs, ook voor online onderwijs. Door de plotselinge overschakeling naar afstandsonderwijs tijdens de coronacrisis worstelden docenten met het creëren van gemeenschappen. Betekenisvolle verbindingen en betrokkenheid tussen docenten en studenten ontstonden moeizaam. Deze systematische review van onderzoek naar strategieën voor gemeenschapsvorming in het online hoger onderwijs bundelt de kennis over dit onderwerp en presenteert praktijkgerichte adviezen voor docenten. Zevenentwintig artikelen zijn geïncludeerd in onze reviewstudie. In de analyse komen vier thema’s naar voren: (1) pedagogisch-didactische strategieën, (2) sociale interacties, (3) leeromgeving en (4) differentiatie. Om sterke online leergemeenschappen te verwezenlijken zijn ruimte en aandacht voor gemeenschapsvorming, goede communicatie en een gevoel van nabijheid de belangrijkste kernstrategieën voor docenten.

Media and Information Literacy Among Brazilian K-12 Teachers: A Case Study at Guarujá Municipal Education System
Authors: Passarelli Brasilina , Angeluci Alan César Belo
Published: November 2023

The aim of this study was to map the access, use and appropriation of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) by K-12 teachers in the city of Guarujá, on the coast of the State of São Paulo, Brazil. The investigation was carried out throughout the distance training workshops and distance learning activities offered by the Research Center for New Communications Technologies Applied to Education from the University of São Paulo – School of the Future-USP. An Innovation Ecosystem in Basic Education program was conceived in order to conduct the activities and needed to be adapted to fully digital circumstances due to the global COVID-19 emergency in 2020 and 2021. This change ended up allowing the collection of important information about teachers' perceptions of their digital competences. Among the results pointed out, activities started to be carried out digitally, including by non-conventional means, such as through social networks and also mediated by cell phones; the mandatory experience with the digital environment made the teachers understand that it will not be possible to return to a relationship of certain distance with the computational resources. This scenario makes recurrent difficulties even more serious, such as lack of technical support and maintenance, low Internet connection speed and pedagogical support for creating class content with computers.
