Published: January 2025

Having a child with a disability does not happen to all families. Parents of children with disabilities have to go through an acceptance process without a specific blueprint as parents use different coping mechanisms and are influenced by several factors. This study aims to analyze parents' acceptance process and their aspirations for their child with CWD. Seven participants were selected through snowball sampling method and underwent semi-structured in-depth interviews for data collection while the instrument used was an interview sheet. Data analysis was conducted using the interpretive phenomenology (IPA) approach which resulted in high-level themes. The results showed that the process of parental acceptance includes different internal processes that are categorized into superordinate themes namely: discovering disability, facing reality, reconstructing a new normal, dealing with the situation, making peace, hoping for a better future, and advocating for an inclusive tomorrow. It can be concluded that parents of children with disabilities (CWD) face a unique and complex process of acceptance after learning of their child's disability. The implication of this study is the importance of interventions that focus on increasing social support and adequate health facilities for families with CWD.

Reibungsbedingte WEC-Bildung bei hohen Lasten
Authors: Loos Jörg , Kruhöffer Wolfram , Merk Daniel , Blaß Toni , Franke Jörg
Published: January 2025

Wälzlager können in seltenen Fällen deutlich vor der berechneten Lebensdauer mit White Etching Cracks (WECs) ausfallen, wenn der Wälzkontakt neben der Haupt-Wälzbeanspruchung (pHz) noch weitere, sogenannte Zusatzbeanspruchungen ertragen muss. Aktuell wird in der Literatur diskutiert, ob hohe Pressungen zu Beginn des Betriebs alleine ausreichend für eine WEC-Bildung sein können. Zur Klärung dieser Frage werden kürzlich durchgeführte und publizierte WEC-Versuche auf Wälzlagerprüfständen und Tribometern diskutiert, die bei hohen Pressungen und unterschiedlicher überlagerter Wälzkontaktreibung durchgeführt wurden.
Bei Versuchen mit relativ niedrigem Reibenergieeintrag mit Axialrillenkugellagern und Zylinderrollenlagern kam es trotz sehr hoher Pressung zu Betriebsbeginn zu keiner WEC-Bildung. An einfachen Tribometern scheint die Kombination von hoher Pressung und Mindestschlupf und somit indirekt ein Mindest-Reibenergieeintrag für eine beschleunigte WEA-Bildung erforderlich zu sein. Schrägkugellager und Pendelrollenlager bildeten bei hoher Pressung und gleichzeitig hohem Reibenergieeintrag frühzeitig WECs aus. Der Ausfallort belegt, dass die Reibenergie und nicht die Hertzsche Pressung hierfür hauptursächlich war. Das unterschiedliche WEC-Ausfallverhalten der Versuche bei hoher Last lässt sich mit einem reibenergetischen WEC-Lebensdauermodell, abgeleitet aus WEC-Versuchen auf den Schaeffler-Prüfständen R4G und FE8, gut nachvollziehen.
Documentalismo humanista y realismo mágico en la fotografía en Transtempo de Cristina García Rodero
Authors: Freire-Sánchez Alfonso , Vidal-Mestre Montserrat
Published: January 2025

Este artículo ofrece un análisis interdisciplinario de la obra Transtempo (2010) de la fotógrafa española Cristina García Rodero, una de las figuras más destacadas del documentalismo humanista contemporáneo. Para explorar las múltiples dimensiones de su trabajo, que documenta tradiciones, festividades y rituales en España, se propone un inédito método de análisis que combina cuatro enfoques metodológicos: la deconstrucción visual semiológica, el análisis antropológico-contextual, la definición conceptual crítica y el enfoque histórico-artística. El análisis reflexiona acerca de cómo García Rodero interpreta el documentalismo humanista al capturar tanto lo cotidiano como al representar lo extraordinario, utilizando un lenguaje visual que, a diferencia de otras interpretaciones, esta investigación considera que se acerca al realismo mágico. Asimismo, se reflexiona sobre cómo Transtempo representa la búsqueda de significado en la experiencia humana mientras que logra eternizar costumbres y tradiciones que están en vías de desaparecer.

Pediatric Abdominal Pain: Identifying Fishbone-Induced Appendicitis
Authors: Alghamdi Nawaf , Basehi Ahmad , Alnamshan Mohammad , Alzahrani Fawaz , Almalki Abdullatif
Published: January 2025

Background:
Appendicitis is a common but perplexing medical mystery. It occurs unexpectedly and requires rapid medical intervention to be resolved. Fishbone-induced appendicitis in children is a rare but serious condition, often misdiagnosed due to nonspecific symptoms. Often, during the treatment of such patients, the fishbone has been seen in the gastrointestinal tract. However, in some rare cases, the fishbone goes into the appendix and becomes the cause of appendicitis pain.

Case Report:
The current report explains the case of appendicitis in a 5-year-old boy. This boy was admitted to the hospital with abnormal abdominal pain, accompanied by fever, nausea, and vomiting. Later on, the pain was identified as appendicitis pain caused by a fishbone. The patient underwent a successful laparoscopic appendectomy without signs of perforation.

Conclusion:
Identifying appendicitis caused by a fishbone in pediatric patients can be challenging as most parents fail to recall when their child consumed the fish. This case underscores the need for detailed clinical assessments to uncover uncommon causes of appendicitis. It is recommended to conduct thorough examinations to evaluate the possibility of intestinal perforation caused by foreign objects such as fishbones and to educate the parents to avoid serving fish with bones to their children.

The concept of "pride" in Russian and Chinese languages: linguocultural aspect
Authors: Wan Guangfu , Shabelskaya Nika Kirillovna , Shchepetov Pavel Andreevich
Published: January 2025

The concept of “pride” has one of the central places in the system of moral and ethical concepts. The article provides a comparative analysis of the concept of "pride" from the point of view of linguacultural studies. The authors consider the features of the perception of "pride" in the linguistic picture of the world of two cultures, and also analyze the similarities and differences in the understanding of this concept. The authors draw attention to the historical context of the formation of ideas, which makes it possible to see the dynamics of changes in the perception of the context of "pride" over time. The study is based on the analysis of Russian and Chinese phraseological units, including proverbs and sayings. The paper includes descriptive, componential (analysis of lexical meaning) and comparative analysis. The authors come to the conclusion that the concept of "pride" has polar meanings, ranging from the shade of "positive pride" to the semantic connotation of "negative arrogance". When the concept of "pride" is expressed in a neutral or positive sense, it is perceived positively in both cultures. The analysis of phraseological units from the point of diachronic comparison showed that the perception of the concept in the Chinese language is characterized by relative "stability" over time, while in the Russian language this concept has experienced significant changes under the influence of extralinguistic factors. The conducted analysis opens up new prospects for further research in the field of intercultural communication and cognitive linguistics. Future research can focus on a more detailed study of other concepts, their evolution, influence on intercultural interaction, as well as on a comparative analysis of concepts in other languages.

В статье впервые приводятся данные сравнительного анализа фонетических особенностей сказителей русскоустьинского фольклора. При передаче одного сказочного сюжета в речи диалектоносителей наблюдаются общие черты, характерные для всего говора, и различия. Несовпадения в области фонетики могут свидетельствовать об угасающих диалектных особенностях в области фонетики под влиянием как литературного языка, так и других факторов, экстралингвистических. Записи фольклорных жанров у русских старожилов Индигирки в фонетической транскрипции в 1920‒40-х годах являются ценными свидетельствами о диалекте в конкретный исторический период.

The article examines the phonetic peculiarities in the folklore of Russian Arctic old-timers living on the Indigirka River. Methods of analyzing folklore texts recorded with the preservation of dialect features allow us to analyze the characteristic phonetic features of the dialect in the past. Such studies allow us to consider the dialects of Russian old-timers of Yakutia in retrospect, which is important for preserving linguistic diversity, which in turn draws attention to the study of the culture of Russians in the Arctic region. Similar fairy tales performed by different storytellers were selected for analysis. Having identified similarities and differences in their speech, phonetic features characteristic of this Russian old-timer dialect were established. The phonetics of the dialect has both the original, maternal features of the Northern Great Russian dialect, and a number of borrowed ones, which appeared as a result of language contacts with the indigenous small-numbered peoples of the Arctic. Thus, it is possible to assume a fairly high degree of preservation of the phonetics of one of the modern Russian old-timer dialects.
Якутский язык в восприятии русского населения Якутии: опыт потомков государевых ямщиков

В статье на примере потомков государевых ямщиков рассматриваются особенности этноязыкового самочувствия русского населения Республики Саха (Якутия). На основе контент-анализа и нарративного анализа серии глубинных интервью, взятых в населенных пунктах Хангаласского района, выявляются противоречивые тенденции в восприятии и использовании якутского языка представителями данной этнолокальной группы. Высокий символический статус якутского языка сочетается с признаками перехода на русское моноязычие. Опыт потомков ямщиков рассматривается как потенциальная модель для формирования гармоничного русско-якутского двуязычия в регионе.

The article examines the peculiarities of ethno-linguistic well-being and communicative practices among the descendants of state coachmen, a unique ethno-local group of the Russians in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The study employs content analysis and narrative analysis of a series of in-depth interviews conducted in the settlements of the Khangalassky district. The findings reveal contradictory trends in the perception and use of the Yakut language by representatives of this group. On the one hand, the Yakut language enjoys a high symbolic status, with the majority of respondents expressing positive attitudes towards it and emphasizing its importance for the preservation of local identity. On the other hand, there are signs of the loss of Russian-Yakut bilingualism, especially among younger generations, as evidenced by the decreasing proficiency in Yakut language and its limited use in everyday communication. The experience of the coachmen’s descendants, who have maintained stable Russian-Yakut bilingualism for many generations, is considered as a potential model for the formation of harmonious Russian-Yakut bilingualism in the region, which researchers believe has promising prospects in the context of balanced language policy.

The paper contributes a comparative quantitative assessment of solar and wind power potential in the Irkutsk region. The research findings on solar and wind power potential are presented cartographically. The area covered by the Baikal Natural Territory proves the most favorable one for the deployment of renewable power. We identify the locations where it is feasible to use solar power plants to serve remote communities that are off the power grid of the Irkutsk region. Our study relies on an original technique for making fast estimates of the feasible capacity of solar power plants. The input data are surface observations coming from meteorological stations and the specifications of existing diesel power stations and future power plants. The total feasible capacity of solar power plants as part of hybrid energy complexes for remote and isolated communities of the region is estimated at 1.5 MW. The economic effect of their deployment is fuel savings of 470-480 tons/year and reduction of budget subsidies by almost 43 million rubles/year.

This study proposes a self-contained hybrid power system with DC and AC voltage buses connected to renewable and conventional energy sources to supply power to remote areas. The conventional sources are meant to serve as a backup for renewables to meet the demand during power shortages in the system. This research focuses on integrating an optimal structure of an off-grid system consisting of PV and WT generators with a battery energy storage system (BESS) and a diesel generator set (DGS) to ensure high reliability of power supply to a remote area. We contribute a machine learning algorithm (TLBO) for optimal sizing of the installed capacity of the PV-WT-BESS-DGS hybrid system components. The algorithm relies on the original multi-objective function to determine the most advantageous values of unit capacities for PV and WT plants, as well as the number of batteries and diesel generators, to meet the demand in the hybrid system under different scenarios of PV and WT power shortage. The optimization problem is solved considering the variability of meteorological conditions as manifested in the random and uncertain intermittency of PV and WT generation as well as in the stochastic nature of the electricity consumption process. To enhance the efficiency of its solution, this study seeks to cluster these processes and identify common scenarios for the data set of hourly measurements of PV and WT generation and loads during the year. We use k-means clustering to determine the number of clusters for PV, WT, and loads for representative geographical areas. The study reports the results of the analysis of optimal configurations for a hybrid AC/DC system made up of PV, WT, BESS, and DPS in these areas.
