Nonlinear Aeroelastic Oscillations in the Wall of a Flat Channel Filled with Viscous Gas and Resting on a Vibrating Foundation
Authors: Popov V. S. , Popovа A. A.
Published: July 2024

This article considers the problem of aeroelastic oscillations in the channel wall having a suspension with hardening cubic nonlinearity, which were induced by the vibration of the channel foundation. The narrow ﬂat channel formed by two parallel rigid walls and ﬁlled with pulsating viscous gas was examined. The bottom wall was stationary, while the opposite one had a nonlinear elastic suspension. The aeroelasticity problem was formulated for the isothermal state of the gas and channel walls. Considering the narrowness of the channel, the equations of dynamics were derived for a thin layer of the viscous gas, and the asymptotic analysis of the problem was performed by the perturbation method. Using the method of iterations, the law of viscous gas pressure distribution in the channel was determined, and the equation of aeroelastic oscillations in the channel wall was obtained as a generalization of the Duﬃng equation. This equation was solved by the harmonic balance method. The primary nonlinear aeroelastic response of the channel wall and the nonlinear phase shift were expressed as implicit functions. These characteristics were studied numerically to evaluate the inﬂuence of the nonlinear elastic suspension of the channel wall and the viscous gas inertia and compressibility on the nonlinear oscillations in the channel wall.
A simple method for assessing the probability of liquefaction of tailings dams
Authors: D'Hyppolito Lays , Sayão Alberto , Nunes Anna Laura
Published: July 2024

In recent years, two tragic accidents in Brazilian tailings dams resulted in a lack of trust in the performance of these structures. This paper aims at proposing a new procedure for estimating the liquefaction risk of existing tailings dams, with the use of well-known probabilistic methods as a valuable tool in the decision-making process for triggering an Emergency Plan. The combination of a rigorous limit equilibrium stability method (Spencer, 1967) and the FOSM probabilistic procedure (Christian et al., 1992) has proved to adequately predict the imminent liquefaction risk of both Fundão and Feijão tailings dams, which recently collapsed in Mariana (2015) and in Brumadinho (2019), both in Minas Gerais State, Brazil. Considering the triggering mechanisms known to have occurred, the estimated probabilities of liquefaction failure at the time of the accidents were 36% for Fundão Dam, and 47% for Feijão Dam. The results show that the risk associated to the collapse of both structures was well above the acceptable level suggested by current standards.
A Curadoria do Museu Game Ciência Para Divulgação Científica na Dimensão Sociocultural
Authors: Nascimento Genildo Viana do , Costa Hawbertt Rocha
Published: July 2024

A curadoria em museus se refere a um conjunto de ações pautadas na construção de um discurso expositivo, naquilo que o visitante percebe através dos seus sentidos e que dá significado às experiências vivenciadas nestes espaços. A literatura nos indica poucos estudos que se debruçam sobre a concepção das exposições em si, carecendo de bases teóricas sólidas dentro desse processo de constituição. Por isso, por se tratar de um espaço novo, o Museu Game Ciência teve essa preocupação enquanto campo de pesquisa voltado à Divulgação Científica num contexto sociocultural por meio dos jogos digitais e dos próprios consoles (aparelhos de videogames) como objetos a serem musealizados. Desta forma, o objetivo deste estudo é analisar o discurso expositivo do Museu Game Ciência, frente à sua constituição de curadoria na perspectiva da Divulgação Científica em um contexto sociocultural. Como questão de pesquisa, buscou-se identificar de que maneira a concepção de um museu de games pode ser estruturada a partir de uma dimensão sociocultural da aprendizagem no ensino de ciências. Essa caracterização pautou-se nos estudos de Martha Marandino em relação à noção de discurso expositivo e na Teoria da Ação Mediada de James Wertsch para o planejamento de atividades museológicas na vertente sociocultural da aprendizagem. Frente ao campo de pesquisa explorado, as ações de curadoria desenvolvidas para o Museu Game Ciência carregam em si elementos substanciais possivelmente capazes de despertar nos visitantes a tomada de decisão, a dialogicidade, a interação social, posicionamentos críticos e a reflexão sobre os impactos sociais da ciência.

Published: July 2024

Topicality. There is a need to review the potential long-term negative consequences of gallbladder removal (GBR), especially the associated risk of further metabolic syndrome (MS), considering the rehabilitation prognosis of patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). The Aim of the Research is to conduct a synthesis and analysis of the scientific literature that studies the risks of MS foe people after LC and to determine whether there are risk factors for MS among people after LC at the long-term stage of rehabilitation who were in the Morshynkurort sanatorium-resort complex. Methods. A synthesis of scientific works, a retrospective analysis of 100 medical records of patients after LC who were rehabilitated in the Morshynkurort sanatorium-resort complex was carried out. Inclusion criteria: charts of patients after LC from 1 month to 1 year after the intervention. Randomization, blinding of evaluators. Outcome measures: triglycerides (units), fasting plasma glucose (mmol/L), systolic blood pressure (mm Hg), diastolic blood pressure (mm Hg).  Results. LC has a high prognostic risk of MS, bowel cancer, cardiovascular disease, dysbiosis, and pancreatic inflammation. It has been established that cholecystectomy (СС) significantly increases the risk of developing MS. The analysis of medical records revealed 3 existing criteria for the presence of MC in patients undergoing sanatorium treatment: triglycerides (2,10 ± 0,30, mmol/L) – above 1,7; fasting blood glucose (6,20 ± 0,56, mmol/L) – above 5,6; elevated blood pressure (systolic and diastolic). Conclusions. Patients in the long-term rehabilitation stages have been found to have signs of MS. The assessment of the modifiable risk factors for MS in patients after CC should be mandatory when planning individual rehabilitation programs.

Topicality. Metabolic syndrome is an urgent issue and a serious health risk not only for adults but also for children, adolescents, and young people. An essential role in the metabolic syndrome emergence is played by the negative “achievements” of progress such as low physical activity, increased caloric intake, and chronic stress. All these factors cause a steady increase in arterial hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia, and diabetes. There is significant evidence that obesity and chronic pain are closely related. Chronic pain is one of the main causes of weight gain of obese patients. The Research Aims to determine the intensity of musculoskeletal pain in young women with metabolic syndrome and the localization of their maximum pain, as well as to investigate the correlation between the intensity of pain depending on the location and indicators of body weight, body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, waist circumference, and body length. Research Methods. To identify the subjective pain sensation according to the domain of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health b.280 – pain sensation, a visual analog pain scale was used in patients; to establish a correlation between pain intensity and pain localization in young women with metabolic syndrome, body weight, body mass index, and waist-to-hip ratio, as well as the ratio of waist circumference to body length were additionally calculated based on bioelectrical impedance. Research Results. According to the results of the responses, we can note that among the surveyed young women with metabolic syndrome, only 3,09 % indicated that they had practically no pain with localization in the neck, back, lumbar region, or joints. In general, we can state that in many cases it has been found that the manifestation of pain in women with metabolic syndrome in the back averages 4.8±1,5 cm (▁x±S), which corresponds to the level of “moderate” pain. A comparison of the subjects’ pain scores during the worst period, which was performed using the nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis H test, showed that its intensity was statistically significant (H (3, N= 388) =87,69; p<0,05) depending on the localization. Conclusions. The obtained results prove that both overweight and abdominal obesity have negative effects on the manifestation of pain syndrome among women in the first period of adulthood but abdominal obesity has a stronger effect on its intensity. In particular, this type of obesity harms the lumbar spine of the subjects.

Unsettling the Royal Proclamation of 1763: A Substantive Analysis of Section 25 of the Charter
Authors: Collie James
Published: July 2024

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms has a significant impact on rights discourses in Canada. Section 25 of the Charter protects Aboriginal rights from infringements of the rights and freedoms endorsed elsewhere in the Charter. Section 25 also protects and codifies rights created by the Royal Proclamation of 1763. Despite this inclusion, Royal Proclamation rights have remained relatively undefined in the history of the Crown- Indigenous relationship. In this article, I investigate the content of Proclamation-based Aboriginal rights protected by section 25 by focusing on the Proclamation, the legislative development of section 25, and recent jurisprudence of section 25. I then take these insights and apply them to two recent Aboriginal rights cases: Rice v. Agence du revenu du Québec and Restoule v. Canada. In doing so, I problematize the argument of section 25 as a savings provision and argue that there is a disconnect created by section 25, as the legislative intent of these rights was for their content to be determined at a later date, and yet, they never were determined. Accordingly, if the settled interpretation of the Proclamation were to become unsettled, there could be an expansion of Aboriginal rights within Canada.

Vaping, as a reincarnation of smoking, requires solving the problem of harm to health in essence
Authors: Grigoryev K.I. , Vykhristyuk O.F. , Grigoryev A.I.
Published: July 2024

In recent years, there has been a downward trend in smoking, including among teenagers. But with the advent of electronic cigarettes and vaping, a rebound has been noted, especially among young people ‒ instead of regular cigarettes, the number of children smoking is growing. Electronic cigarettes/vapes have almost the same negative effects as smoking. The chemicals contained in vaping liquids can provoke the development of non-infectious inflammatory pneumonitis, and in a fairly short time from the start of smoking. Vaping-associated lung damage is a clinical diagnosis, established after excluding other respiratory diseases and has serious consequences. The information presented in the article requires stopping the reincarnation of smoking, especially among children and adolescents, through the use of electronic cigarettes/vapes and solving the problem of harm to health in essence.

Exposing perceptions and beliefs towards naturism: A qualitative exploration of personal narratives
Authors: Kerem Kemal Soylemez  , Joanne Lusher  , Marina Rachitskiy
Published: July 2024

Some behaviours and individual characteristics can be labelled as offensive. In today’s world, almost any behaviour or characteristic might be perceived as deviating from the norm by any specific observer. Naturism, which has recently gained the interest of scholars, refers to engaging in nudity without the intention of any sexual stimulation. There is vast literature which explores perceptions and beliefs towards individuals who belong to minority groups. However, there is a current gap in the literature when it comes to understanding perceptions of textiles (non-naturists) towards naturism. The present qualitative study addresses this gap by representing non-naturists’ voices surrounding their beliefs towards naturism. Ten participants were recruited to collect rich and detailed data by convenience sampling method to explore their beliefs and perceptions towards naturism. Two distinct themes emerged from a reflective thematic analysis of the dataset: Incognizant acceptance and Beliefs surrounding naturists. Participant narratives suggest that individuals who are non-naturists but unfamiliar with naturism have a limited understanding of what it is. The findings of the present study assist in deepening our understanding of naturism and offer to challenge societal beliefs and values in relation to naturism.

Semiotics After Geontopower
Some Preliminary Thoughts
Authors: Povinelli Elizabeth
Published: July 2024

This essay is part of a book project, tentatively titled, Do We Need a Semiotics After Geontopower? The essay begins with an overview of the atmospheric conditions of an old debate about how to liberate theories of mind, communication and language from their humanist enclosure. It does so by highlighting a few scientific and public debates about what constitutes evidence of prehuman, and nonhuman animal and plant forms of mind and communication. The purpose of this brief foray into complicated debates is to conjure the sense-intuitions circulating around these arguments about the political and ethical stakes of describing a kind of existence as having this or that quality of language and mind. The essay then puts pressure on how these sense-intuitions about communication and mind are scaled—how a sense of the stakes of mind to the treatment of existence becomes a quest to model a general theory of a post-humanist mind. This takes me to the commonalities between a certain way of producing a posthumanist mind and the strategies of environmental protect within the movement for the rights of nature. Why do these approaches feel to some like they are the best way of verifying that prehuman, nonhuman animal and plant forms, and nonlife have semiotic capacities as one supports First Nation and Indigenous earthkin?The essay ends by summarizing the broader content and stakes of Do We Need a Semiotics After Geontopower?
How Much Geography in Kant’s Critical Project?
Authors: Costantini Marco
Published: July 2024

In this paper we will address the following points: (1) we will question the geneal belief that Kant’s philosophical approach has a geographical character, by showing how critical philosophy and physical geography establish, in their respective systems, two inverse relationships between the rational and the aesthetic form of spatiality; (2) we will argue that cartography still plays a role in the realization of a scientific system of cognition, and that this role consists in guiding this very realization; (3) lastly, we will develop the hypothesis that the map of the cognitive faculties, exemplified by the transcendental topic, is part of a device aimed at keeping the subject from the adventures of thought typical of dogmatism.
Mappers, Mapmakers, and Cartographers and Where to Find Them in Contemporary Art (a Modest Proposal)
Authors: Tanca Marcello
Published: July 2024

The so-called “art map age”, a phenomenon marked by the convergence of visual arts and cartography, emerged between the 60-70s and early 2000s. The close relationship between cartographic and artistic language is a “commonplace” of the present world: if the artistic experiments with the maps have been supported by a vast bibliography, in this paper I follow a strictly geographical approach to describe some trends of contemporary art. I take inspiration from a terminological distinction introduced by Arthur Robinson and Barbara Petchenik: and that is between ‘mapper’, ‘mapmaker’ and ‘cartographer’. Furthermore, combining the “types” of the mapper, the mapmaker, and the cartographer with the different attitudes regarding maps (as medium, image, abstraction, etc.), I will suggest a small classification scheme.
Mapping a Blank Spot and Making Empty Spaces
Geographic and Cartographic Ontology in Italian Topographic Mapping of the Southern Libyan Desert in the 1930s
Authors: Török Zsolt
Published: July 2024

This study explores the ontological assumptions of mapping as active processes, rather than passive representations and discusses the need for pragmatic guidelines in map-making, as maps only acquire meaning through their users’ minds and bodies. The paper presents historical examples of Italian colonial topographic mapping of the southern Libyan Desert during the 1930s. It emphasizes the interconnected histories of geographical exploration, social and cultural contexts, and technical practices. The paper argues that the ‘empty spaces’ on maps reflect intentional choices made by cartographers, not insufficient data. The performative nature and diverse sociocultural conditions of maps need to be considered to understand their meaning and use.
The Evergrowing Map
A Fluid Account on Cartography
Authors: Bosca Paolo
Published: July 2024

Geography and cartography lay in the intersection between two knowledges, namely physics and geometry. In his book La naissance de la physique dans le texte de Lucrèce, Michel Serres shows how geometry – and the consequent static model of reality, on which cartography is traditionally based on – originated from the mechanics of fluid, as fluid was, in the atomistic philosophy, the process of agglomeration and dissolution of things made by atoms. In the last two decades, thinkers like Michel Serres, Tim Ingold, Luce Irigaray and others, have raised awareness on the possibility of conceiving reality on a fluidity based model, in order to better explain the complex, moiré, variety of our experience of the world. In front of the problems raised by the rapid changes happening in the physical and biological realm, the model of the world as a static plane on which object are situated and experienced is no longer sustainable, because it is unable to describe and orient human being between the emerging characters of life on earth. A new sensibility to acquire orientation in the multi-faced and multi-layered world goes hand in hand with the one of a new geographical and cartographical description of physical reality. Through the concept of evergrowing map this article aims to outline a cartographical strategy of orientation through a fluid conception of the world, based on multilayered representations of the territory rooted in multiple relations weaved by human inhabiting the world.
Biston betularia carbonaria
Repopulating Maps with Climate Monsters
Authors: Ianniello Antonio
Published: July 2024

The monster appears in geographical texts throughout the ages as a ‘guardian of the border’ that defines the limits of the possible, inducing action or averting behavior and restricting movement for political or economic purposes. Through a philosophy that uses unorthodox means, I intend to present a climate monster by which, based on a possible imagery about the current climate crisis, an invitation for a change in our habits is produced. I propose that repopulating maps with situated imaginary monsters can deploy specific education of attention that invites focusing on concrete aspects of our surroundings. To do this I will present the mixed media art project Biston betularia carbonaria, an eco-distopia created in collaboration with the photographer Valeria Scrilatti.

Authors: Arık Güngör Büşra , Bektas Oktay , Saraçoğlu Sibel
Published: July 2024

This study aims to develop a valid and reliable scale for determining the self-efficacy of teachers toward context-based science education. This study employed a survey design. The sample has formed 433 science students working in Kayseri province in the 2020-2021 spring semester. Firstly, an item pool of 85 items was created by reviewing the literature. Secondly, a five-point Likert-type draft scale consisting of 67 items was created. Required arrangements have been performed according to expert opinions to provide content validity. Explanatory and confirmatory factor analyses have been run to provide construct validity. As a result of explanatory factor analysis, a structure with four factors as “Learning/Teaching Process”, “Self-efficacy Resources”, “Academic Self-efficacy” and “Planning Instruction” consisting of 47 items has been reached. Factors have been confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis. Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficient has been calculated as 0.98. To provide criterion validity, the Pearson correlation coefficient has been found as 0.86 between the draft and criteria scales. Based on the findings, researchers have determined that the scale was valid and reliable, and they recommended that this scale should be used to determine self-efficacy beliefs towards context-based learning of science teachers.
Frankfurt “The Enchantress” by P. I. Tchaikovsky (2022) in the aspect of musical semiotics
Authors: Shao Mengqi
Published: July 2024

The paper touches on a number of issues of musical and theatrical semiotics. Within the framework of a semiotic approach to a musical material, the author examines the phenomenon of musical code, the evolution of a director’s role in the co-creation of the final integral theatrical product and the appearance of a trend for directorial dominance. Taking as an example P. I. Tchaikovsky’s opera “The Enchantress” (2022 г.) staged by the Frankfurt Opera House and relying on, in particular, I. V. Kochubey’s “Doctrine about the Everyday Things Order”. The author analyzes the functioning of the system of “details” within the framework of a director’s intention, relating to the various levels: musical, plot-compositional, plastic-objective ones. The purpose of the study is to identify the cause-and-effect relationships in the semiotic reading of the stage production of “The Enchantress” by P. I. Tchaikovsky. The scientific novelty of the work is seen by the author in the fact that for the first time the problem of the director's reading of an opera text and its perception by the viewer from structural-semiotic, hermeneutical, phenomenological positions, as an important component of the expressive system of modern musical and theatrical production, is specifically studied. As a result of the study, it was established that an operatic work is capable of creating new readings, interacting with a changing cultural and ideological context. As a result of the study, it was established that an operatic work is capable of creating new readings, interacting with a changing cultural and ideological context.
The transformation of female images in the dramaturgy of the 20th century by the example of A. Simukov's plays
Authors: Orlova Vasilissa Vladislavovna
Published: July 2024

The purpose of the study is to show how the female image has changed in the drama of the 20th century on the example of the work of the Soviet playwright, screenwriter of animated films and motion pictures, teacher of the Gorky Literary Institute and literary teacher A. Vampilov A. Simukov, whose years of creativity span more than half a century. In the article, through a system of end-to-end and archetypal images, a historical and literary excursion is conducted, revealing the prerequisites for creating the image of a new woman in the post-revolutionary period and its subsequent development. Special attention is paid to the author's style of A. Simukov and his contribution to the development of female images in Soviet drama. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that for the first time A. Simukov's plays of different years devoted to the women's issue were comprehensively studied, and it is open to the reader that the playwright, starting with the first works, placed a demiurgic heroine in the space of comedy and tried to humanize her. The results of the study show that A. Simukov reflected in his work the changes that occurred in connection with the women's issue in the public consciousness, and in the psychologization of images he was in many ways the forerunner of the new wave playwrights.
Old Tatar heritage in the Tepekey and Kurmantau sub-dialects of the Tatar language (phonetic and morphological features)
Authors: Bulatova Minnira Rakhimovna
Published: July 2024

During the development of the Tatar literary language some traditional forms, that are characteristic of the Old Tatar literary language had been lost, but they were preserved in sub-dialects and are considered as dialect phenomena. The purpose of the study is to identify features that were characteristic of the Old Tatar literary language and were preserved in the tepekey and kurmantau sub-dialects, but were lost in the Tatar literary language. The main phonetic, grammatical and other features of the studied sub-dialects of the Tatar language were laid down in the ancient Turkic language, the written monuments of which date back to the 5-8th centuries. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that for the first time, some phonetic and morphological features of the indicated sub-dialects are considered in a comparative sense with the language of the Old Tatar written monuments, and a greater commonality with the Old Tatar literary language is revealed. As a result of the scientific analysis, we have established that in the Kurmantau and Tepekey sub-dialects of the middle dialect of the Tatar language, phonetic phenomena (ä~i, j~ʒ, etc.) and grammatical forms (affixes of the desired mood -ajïm/-ajïk, forms in -mak/-mäk, constructions -dï + isä, etc.), that actively functioned in the Old Tatar literary language have been preserved.
Peculiarities of children’s comments on French-language political media texts with the “Diamond” structure
Authors: Vdovichenko Elizaveta Anatol’evna
Published: July 2024

The purpose of the study is to characterise the role of the influence of information in the structural components of a political news text with the structure “Diamond” on the comments of readers aged from 8 to 12 years old. The scientific novelty of the work consists in the fact that for the first time a study of the influence of structural components of the architectonics of a news text on comments by children’s readers was conducted. The study found that children read political news texts with the structure “Diamond” and actively leave their analytical comments or comments as the emotional response to them. Their comments may be directly or indirectly related to the content of the news text. The comments indirectly related to the content of the text express the attitude towards the mentioned political figures, things familiar to them, illustrative and pictorial material. Components of a political news text with the structure “Diamond”: “Lead”, “Body”, where the news event is reported, and “Background”, where additional facts are given, encourage young readers to leave comments directly related to their information.
The category of seemingness and its functioning in Herbert G. Wells’s novel “The Time Machine”
Authors: Karpukhina Tamara Petrovna
Published: July 2024

The aim of the research is to reveal the specific features of the epistemic category of seemingness functioning in an English novel of a science fiction genre. The article undertakes a versatile approach to the phenomenon of seemingness viewed from different angles, namely, a logic-philosophical, psychological and linguistic ones. Linguistic criteria identifying the category of seemingness have been clarified. Scientific originality of the research lies in describing the peculiarities of the category of seemingness as represented in H. G. Wells’s novel. The research findings reveal a diversity of lexico-syntactic denominations of seemingness constituting the corresponding semantic field thus forming its centre or periphery. The modus of seemingness embraces various types of perception, those of a visual, aural, tactile, olfactory and kinaesthetic ones. The results of the research indicate that seemingness in the novel tends to interact with the category of evaluation. As the study shows, the modus of seemingness in the novel is inseparable from the first-person narration describing the incredible events in the world of fantastic future as seemingly indefinite, unverified and illusory.
Value orientations of the English-language sanctions discourse through the prism of new language units
Authors: Krivoruchko Irina Sergeevna , Baste Zara Yusufovna
Published: July 2024

Economic sanctions have a significant impact on the global economy and politics, which is inevitably reflected in language, especially in specialized fields such as business discourse. Based on the material of articles in online dictionaries and texts from media sources, through linguo-axiological analysis, the authors identify what values and meanings are embedded in neologisms that appeared as a result of sanctions processes in the global economy, and how these words reflect the attitude of society to economic and political changes in the world. The purpose of the study is to identify and interpret value orientations in neologisms that determine public perception and reactions to sanctions in order to form a general idea of the value system of modern English–language sanctions discourse. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that the main ways of forming neologisms of the English-language sanctions discourse were identified and the connection between the internal structure of units and their connotation was revealed. As a result, it was found that in addition to the predominant number of anti-values, the axiosphere of sanctions discourse is sufficiently represented by neo-nominations reflecting the values of modern business under sanctions pressure, which indicates the active development of adaptation strategies and innovations that help business and society to comprehend and overcome the challenges that have arisen.

Quantifying volatile concentrations in magmas is critical for understanding magma storage, phase equilibria, and eruption processes. We present PyIRoGlass, an open-source Python package for quantifying concentrations of H2O and CO2 species in the transmission FTIR spectra of basaltic to andesitic glasses. We leverage a dataset of natural melt inclusions and back-arc basin basalts with volatiles below detection to delineate the fundamental shape and variability of the baseline underlying the CO32- and H2Om, 1635 peaks, in the mid-infrared region. All Beer-Lambert Law parameters are examined to quantify associated uncertainties. PyIRoGlass employs Bayesian inference and Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling to fit all probable baselines and peaks, solving for best-fit parameters and capturing covariance to offer robust uncertainty estimates. Results from PyIRoGlass agree with independent analyses of experimental devolatilized glasses (within 6 %) and interlaboratory standards (10 % for H2O, 6 % for CO2). We determine new molar absorptivities for basalts, εH2Ot,3550 = 63.03 ± 4.47 L/mol · cm and εCO2−3,1515,1430 = 303.44 ± 9.20 L/mol · cm; we additionally update the composition-dependent parameterizations of molar absorptivities, with their uncertainties, for all H2O and CO2 species peaks. The open-source nature of PyIRoGlass ensures its adaptability and evolution as more data become available.
Self-narrative Inquiry on the developmental experience of ‘Academic literacy’ of a middle-aged female Ph.D. graduate student

Published: July 2024

The purpose of this study is to understand the meaning of ‘academic literacy’ as it is acquired through the experiences of middle-aged female Ph. D. students and the impact of academic literacy on their identity formation as members of the academic community. For this study, the experiences of middle-aged female in the academic context during the fifth semester of their Ph. D. program were studied through Self-narrative inquiry method, and the researcher’s reflection journals were analyzed as the primary data, and memory data, assignments, and feedback data were used as secondary data. For this researcher, ‘academic literacy’ has become a social practice competency that recognizes and expresses the identity of an academic community. The impact of academic literacy on the formation of academic community identity: the language used during academic work is a lens through which the researcher’s life and academic context are read, and the act of revealing knowledge and making it visible is a social practice that shapes and embodies meaning. It was a competency necessary for interacting with other members of the academic community, and it manifested itself in critical literacy that made them aware of the power relations that underlie knowledge. The implications of this study are that it may provide a basis for a shift in understanding and perception of the growing participation of adult learners in higher education and the academic environment.

Published: July 2024

Background: One of the most popular surgical procedures is the cesarean section (CS), and one of the most prevalent side effects of this procedure is wound and scar issues. The aim of this prospective, short-term, placebo-controlled study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a silicone-based medical device (Lecoxen cream, Ekuberg Pharma, Carpignano Salentino, Italy) in healing wounds and scars derived from cesarean sections in nulliparous women. Methods: Seventy-four nulliparous women, ranging in age from 18 to 45, and underwent CSs, were divided in two groups of treatment (Lecoxen cream or Vaseline). The quality of scar was examined using the Vancouver scar scale after 28 days, while wound healing was evaluated using the Redness, Edema, Ecchymosis, Discharge, and Approximation (REEDA) scale on the 14th day following CS. Results: The treatment with Lecoxen cream determined a statistically significant improvement (p < 0.001) of the wound healing state, in terms of redness, edema, ecchymoses and discharge. Even about Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) score there was a significative improvement in the observed group in terms of vascularization, pigmentation, flexibility and height (p < 0.001). No adverse effects were reported from the use of Lecoxen cream in participants. Conclusions: Lecoxen cream proved to be a safe and efficient treatment for wounds from CSs, making it a valuable topical to accelerate the healing process and reduce the visibility of scars. Clinical Trial Registration: The study was registered with the ISRCTN registry (https://www.isrctn.com/), registration number: ISRCTN51125312.
Effect of Low-Frequency Electrical Stimulation Combined with Abdominal Acupoint Massage on Postoperative Gastrointestinal Function Recovery after Cesarean Section: A Prospective Randomized Study
Authors: Zou Xiaodan , Cai Meiling
Published: July 2024

Background: This study aimed to investigate the effects of low-frequency electrical stimulation combined with abdominal acupoint massage on the recovery of gastrointestinal function following cesarean section. Methods: A total of 60 postoperative patients were randomly assigned to either the control group (group A, n = 30) or the observation group (group B, n = 30) between January 2021 to December 2021. The control group received conventional interventions, while the observation group received a nursing intervention consisting of low-frequency electrical stimulation combined with abdominal acupoint massage starting at 10–12 hours after the operation. The primary outcomes included the time to first bowel sound, time to flatus, time to defecation, and time to lactation. The secondary outcomes included postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores, the rate and severity of abdominal distension, and serum levels of prolactin (PRL) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). Results: The observation group had significantly earlier restoration of bowel sounds, passage of first flatus, and first defecation than the control group (p < 0.001). The VAS scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h after the operation (p < 0.001). The incidence of abdominal distension in the observation group (13.3%, 4/30) was lower than that in the control group (36.7%, 11/30) (p < 0.05). Furthermore, compared to the control group, the observation group showed a significant increase in serum PRL levels and a significant decrease in VIP levels after treatment (p < 0.001). Conclusions: The application of low-frequency electrical stimulation combined with abdominal acupoint massage after cesarean section can expedite the recovery of gastrointestinal function and reduce pain and complications, such as abdominal distension. This approach can be used in clinical practice to accelerate the recovery of intestinal function after cesarean section. Clinical Trial Registration: The study was registered with the ISRCTN registry (https://www.isrctn.com/), registration number: ISRCTN16533743.
