Climate Change Policy, Emissions Trading Schemes and Carbon Pricing: California and Tokyo
Authors: Fung K.C.
Published: December 2022

In this paper, we provide explicit critical comparisons of two very important and successful regional emissions trading schemes: California and Tokyo. We focus on the contrasts of the different rules and functioning of the carbon credit trading markets. We also compare the carbon leakages and the compliance of the two schemes. We highlight the “negative” carbon leakage and the voluntary compliance associated with the Tokyo- Saitama Prefecture schemes. Finally, we provide a formal model linking some “unique” Japanese labour market practices to the incentives facing the Japanese facilities.

Authors: JAFAR GARNADI , SALSABILLA SYIFA , SANTOSO RAHMAT
Published: December 2022

Objective: Vitamin E acetate has antioxidant activity that can prevent premature aging of the skin, but it is highly lipophilic (log p±12.2) and potentially degraded. To overcome the permeability and stability problems, the vitamin E acetate needs to be developed in Nanostructured Lipid Carrier (NLC), a nano-delivery system based on solid lipid and liquid lipid that is stabilized by surfactants as a colloidal system.

Methods: The formulation of vitamin E acetate into NLC was carried out using hot homogenization method and then sonicated using a probe sonicator. The materials used were vitamin E acetate 2%, Compritol® 2-6%, Myritol® 1%, and Plantacare® 1-3%. The results of the NLC were then characterized by measuring the particle size, zeta potential, polydispersity index, entrapment efficiency, and its morphology.

Results: The results of characterization showed that NLC of vitamin E acetate has 280-375 nm particle size, the zeta potential was-23 mV to-28 mV, the polydispersity index was<0.5, the entrapment efficiency was 92-97%, and the morphological results was in the form of a spherical shape.

Conclusion: The results show that the Nanosturctured Lipid Carriers of vitamin E acetate shows good results.

Authors: INDRA INDRA , AZAHRA RISA , YULIANTI RIKA
Published: December 2022

Objective: This research aimed to make ketoconazole spherical crystals to improve the micromeritic properties and the dissolution rate using the solvent change method.

Methods: The solvent that is used in the process of spherical crystallization consists of three types: ether (good solvent), distilled water (bad solvent), and n-hexane (bridging liquid), with a 20:70:10 ratio each. The agglomerates were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC, powder X-ray diffraction (XRPD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Results: Based on PXRD, DSC, and FTIR spectrophotometer results, it was determined that there was no internal change of ketoconazole crystalline structure during the recrystallization process into spherical crystals, and SEM results revealed that the morphology of the crystal became spherical. Based on the micromeritic properties evaluation results, it was concluded that the ketoconazole spherical crystals have superior micromeritic properties than the conventional ketoconazole. The dissolution test results showed an enhancement in the dissolution rate of spherical crystals compared with the untreated ketoconazole.

Conclusion: Thus, spherical crystals of ketoconazole appear to be a viable approach for enhancing solubility characteristics and micromeritic properties, which would be highly advantageous for processing ketoconazole as a high-dose drug.

La niña, el bosque, el viento y toda la memoria del mundo. Recorridos sensoriales en EAMI, de Paz Encina
Authors: Depetris Chauvin Irene
Published: December 2022

EAMI, el cuarto largometraje de Paz Encina, recupera el interés ético de la directora paraguaya en la construcción de una memoria ya presente en sus películas previas, pero asume aquí una cosmopolítica que redefine las relaciones entre humanos y no humanos. En sus modos de dar cuenta del avance extractivista, el despojo territorial y el exterminio del mundo ayoreo, EAMI problematiza la dicotomía entre ficción y documental no solo porque los testimonios y las recreaciones que pone en escena hablan la lengua de esa comunidad, sino porque se ajustan a su cosmovisión, su comprensión del tiempo y del espacio. A partir de estudios sobre nuevos materialismos y afecto, las reflexiones sobre ontologías amerindias y la antropología visual, este ensayo busca discutir sobre los modos en que este documental Paz Encina rearticula el orden de lo sensible para delimitar el orden de lo que importa. Si la decapitación de la floresta es también la de sus formas comunes de entendimiento, el acto de memoria de EAMI busca crear una atmósfera sensorial y una temporalidad que haga posible ampliar la audiencia para ese duelo. Desde la puesta en escena, Encina asume la denuncia de los ayoreo e intenta doblegar nuestra (in)sensibilidad de coñone (el término con el que esa comunidad se refiere a todos los forasteros como “los insensibles”) para hacernos partícipes del sufrimiento de un pueblo otro.

Formulation and Evaluation of Flurbiprofen Topical Emulgels
Authors: Magre Saakshi , Jain Rupesh Kumar , Khare Basant , Jain Vivek , Khangar Pushpendra Kumar
Published: December 2022

Topical drug delivery has been used for centuries for the treatment of local skin disorders. Emulgel have emerged as one of the most interesting topical delivery system as it has dual control release system i.e. gel and emulsion. One side the topical applications of the drug offers the potential advantages of delivering the drug directly to the site of action and secondly delivering the drug for extended period of time at the effected site. Topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSIAD) formulations are designed to deliver therapeutic levels of the active ingredients to the inflamed tissue without elevating serum levels after application on the skin. This route is an attractive alternative to the oral administration of NSAIDS which is associated with high incidence of gastrointestinal tract (GIT) complications and other systemic toxic effects. Flurbiprofen is a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent usually well tolerated as compared to other NSAIDS product. It has analgesic and antipyretic properties. It is used in the treatment of rheumatic disorders such as ankylosing spondilities, oesteoarthritis and intraoperative miosis. It suffers from major GIT disturbances. The aim of the present study was to develop an emulgel formulation of flurbiprofen using water soluble polymer of hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC K100M), carbopol 940, carbopol 941 and xanthan gum. Oleic acid and propylene glycol were used as permeation enhancers. The influence of the type of the gelling agent on the drug release from the prepared emulgel was investigated. The prepared emulgels were evaluated for their physical appearance, pH determination, viscosity, spreadability, extrudability, in-vitro drug release, ex-vivo drug release and stability. All the prepared emulgels showed acceptable physical properties, homogeneity, consistency, spreadability, viscosity and pH value. The emulgels were found to be stable with respect to physical appearance, pH, and rheological properties and drug content at all temperature and conditions for one month.

Territorio y sostenibilidad en el marco de las universidades públicas chilenas
Authors: Zazo-Moratalla Ana
Published: December 2022

"What role should Chilean State Universities play in their territories? The social uprising, Covid-19, along with natural disasters like the 2010 earthquake, remind us that global phenomena have serious repercussions on the local sphere and that it is on this scale where security and resilience to change need to be generated to overcome major catastrophes, to face the challenges of our cities, and to provide local endogenous development and quality of life for those living there. Specifically, the Law on State Universities, 21.094 of 2018, reminds us that these institutions must contribute to the sustainable development of the country and the progress of society in the diverse areas of knowledge and culture. This law put on the table several challenges for the comprehensive transformation of Chilean universities. Among them, is that of strengthening their role as generators of knowledge and human capital, to contribute to the local development of their territories from the perspective of sustainability. This challenge implies rethinking, first, what the current society, with whom we have to jointly generate the transformations, is like, and second, what the local and nationwide challenges to target are, always from a sustainability approach."
Caminando por el barrio: Comprendiendo las experiencias de las personas mayores en un Santiago adverso, en tiempos de pandemia
Authors: Herrmann-Lunecke Marie Geraldine , Figueroa-Martínez Cristhian , Parra-Huerta Francisca
Published: December 2022

This article aims at investigating the conditions older people face when walking through their neighborhoods. It seeks to identify the ways in which the built environment, the socio-spatial features of the neighborhoods, and the COVID-19 pandemic affect their walks. To that end, the article reports the findings of a set of interviews and focus groups where older people who reside in four neighborhoods located in the Commune of Santiago, Chile, were invited to talk about their walks and the obstacles they face when taking them. The findings show that older people consider walking a highly beneficial activity whereby they remain active, connected, and visible. They state that the processes of change that have affected their neighborhoods have transformed their landscape and social architecture, increasing fear of the public space and the feeling of loneliness. The analysis of the data also showed that older people face many obstacles when walking, including sidewalks in disrepair, hostile pedestrian crossings, and unpleasant landscapes. Those obstacles were multiplied by the arrival of the new coronavirus, which added restrictions and concerns that make walking even more difficult. The data gathered emphasizes the relevance of walking for older people, making the creation of walkable neighborhoods and their promotion in the public policies as a practice of self-care, crucial.
Desigualdad y movilidad de ingresos: ciencia y política de la ‘curva del Gran Gatsby”
Authors: Carabaña Morales Julio
Published: December 2022

El artículo pretende presentar un caso de ‘deformación’ producida en la investigación social por su ‘captura’ política. Los estudios sobre movilidad de ingresos siguieron, aunque más tarde, una pauta de desarrollo parecida a los de movilidad social: se acumularon sin permitir la formulación categórica de regularidades empíricas. Pero sucedió que cuando algunos economistas creyeron haber encontrado una –a más desigualdad económica menor movilidad relativa de ingresos-, se apoderaron de ella las trompetas de la política, que la lanzaron a la fama con la etiqueta ‘curva del Gran Gatsby’ como una ‘ley’ social de importantes consecuencias políticas. A su vez, esta popularidad ha reforzado la crítica y la investigación empírica posterior sobre el tema.

Authors: Belli Simone , López Carrasco Carlos
Published: December 2022

Este trabajo pretende explorar la influencia de factores socio-organizativos en los modos en los que los científicos representan y ponen en práctica la colaboración dentro de sus grupos de investigación. Hemos realizado un trabajo de campo basado en entrevistas semi-estructuradas a miembros de grupos de investigación, apoyado con el análisis de observaciones etnográficas en contextos de trabajo.
Hemos partido de cuatro ejes cuyo equilibrio los científicos consideran clave para sus prácticas de colaboración: Instrumentalidad, afectividad, jerarquía y agregación. Hemos reconstruido dos estilos de colaboración, uno basado en la búsqueda de cohesión grupal, y otro centrado en la estructura y la certidumbre. Factores como el tamaño y antigüedad de los grupos y la trayectoria de los investigadores son importantes para entender los estilos de colaboración que se promueven en cada grupo.
Reacciones discursivas frente al movimiento feminista en el Estado español. Un análisis de la literatura antifeminista
Authors: Medina-Vicent Maria
Published: December 2022

Todo período de fortalecimiento en la consecución de hitos sociales comporta una reacción paralela de un sector conservador de la sociedad, en este sentido, los recientes hitos feministas alcanzados  concretamente en el Estado español, también han sido acompañadas de reacciones diversas que esgrimen discursos de oposición a dicho movimiento. Frente a las exigencias sociales de una mayor igualdad de género, estos discursos reactivos han acabado encontrando lugar en los medios de comunicación y en la esfera social, convirtiéndose en parte del imaginario social sobre el feminismo. En este artículo tratamos de aportar luz sobre cuáles son los ejes argumentales sobre los que se sostienen los discursos sociales de oposición al movimiento feminista vigentes en el Estado español en la actualidad. Para desarrollar dicha labor analizaremos el contenido de dos obras de reciente publicación, editadas en dicho territorio, donde se pueden rastrear los discursos sociales críticos con el feminismo.
Potent Antidiabetic Activity of Ethanolic Extract of Terminalia Arjuna Fruits on Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Wistar Albino Rats
Authors: Adlak Pradeep , Sagar Rakesh , Lal Kori Mohan
Published: December 2022

Diabetes mellitus is the most common chronic endocrine and metabolic disorder, impacts the quality of life, and has become the leading cause of death worldwide. Now a day’s, herbal drugs are in great demand for the treatment of diabetes because of their traditional acceptability, lesser side effects, and adverse effects compared with allopathic medications. Terminalia arjuna fruits were selected for the study due to their abundant availability and based on ethanomedicinal folk claims. The fruits of Terminalia arjuna have been evaluated for their antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic activities using streptozotocin-induced diabetic Wistar albino rats. In the study, two doses of ethanolic extract of Terminalia arjuna fruits (TAF) were selected and administered to normal rats for an oral glucose tolerance test. For an antidiabetic study in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, the effect of the extract was observed for 28 days for blood glucose alterations. All experimental animals were observed for weight changes, due to STZ-induced diabetes, and were found to be significantly reverted to normal in all animals except the diabetic control group. After the completion of the experimental period, the collected serum samples were subjected to various biochemical parameters studied, including a lipid profile, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), urea, and creatinine level. An antioxidant study was performed using collected tissues, followed by histopathological studies of the pancreas. The research study revealed that the TAF extract has significant antidiabetic activity and the potential to revert the altered lipid profile and increase HbA1c to normal. TAF extract significantly normalized the urea, creatinine, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase levels. Thus, the study concluded that TAF extract exhibits significant (p>0.05) antidiabetic activity in STZ-induced diabetic rats.
Relato de uma Prática de Formação do/a Artista-Docente-Pesquisador/a: o planejamento de ensino como fabricação cultural
Authors: Gomes Sidmar Silveira
Published: December 2022

Este artigo relata os encaminhamentos metodológicos de uma disciplina de Estágio Curricular Supervisionado, cujo foco foi a regência de aulas de Artes na escola pública, com o fito de refletir sobre essa etapa de formação como lócus privilegiado para o exercício de uma postura profissional dada no interstício entre criação/produção artística, docência e pesquisa. Para tanto, deu-se especial atenção ao planejamento de ensino, tomado, de acordo com interlocuções com a professora Sandra Mara Corazza (1997), como dispositivo de fabricação cultural e produção de visões políticas. Pelo relato e análise de três processos artístico-pedagógicos, acontecidos no âmbito dessa disciplina, buscou-se refletir sobre a formação docente como ação fomentadora de processos pelos quais as pessoas estagiárias possam assumir-se como sujeitos e objetos de determinadas relações de saber-poder, no âmago do jogo plástico e retroalimentar das fabricações culturais.

O que a Pedagogia Feminista Pode Ensinar para a Pedagogia da Dança? tensionamentos e entrelaçamentos
Authors: Cavalcanti Raquel Pires , Gomes Maria Emilia
Published: December 2022

Este artigo problematiza o ensinar-aprender dança a partir da constatação de discrepâncias entre as transformações e inovações conquistadas pela dança enquanto prática artística cênica e o modo como a experiência educativa do aluno se constrói em sala de aula, ainda conduzido em diversos contextos por parâmetros bastantes tradicionais, seguindo referências e procedimentos muitas vezes conservadores, desatualizados e autoritários em relação aos avanços já experimentados pela dança cênica. A pedagogia feminista, nesse sentido, é aqui vista como um caminho potente para abordarmos essas questões. Para esta tarefa, nos apoiaremos nos seis princípios da pedagogia feminista identificados pelas pesquisadoras Lynn Webb, Myria Allen e Kandi Walker (2002), assim como nas abordagens da feminista, ativista e educadora bell hooks, das feministas e filósofas Djamila Ribeiro, Márcia Tiburi e Judith Butler, dentre outras, articuladas às nossas experiências como artistas-professoras-pesquisadoras. Assim, buscamos, também, propor modos de pensar que melhor se alinhem às demandas e urgências do campo da dança na atualidade.

Intraspecific variation for host immune activation by an arthropod herbivore
Authors: Teodoro-Paulo Jéssica , Duncan Alison , Kant Merijn , Alba Juan , Charlesworth Steven , Magalhães Sara
Published: December 2022

Many parasites can interfere with their host’s defences to maximize
their fitness. Here we investigated if there is heritable variation in
the spider mite, Tetranychus evansi for traits associated with
how they interact with their host plant. We also determined if this
variation correlates with mite fecundity. This mite has the ability to
interfere with jasmonate (JA) defences which is the main determinant of
anti-herbivore immunity in plants. We investigated (i). variation in
fecundity in the presence and absence of JA defences, making use of a
wild-type tomato cultivar and a JA-deficient mutant
(defenseless-1), and (ii) variation in the induction of JA
defences, in 4 T. evansi field populations and in 59 inbred lines
created from an outbred population conceived from controlled crosses of
the four field populations. We observed a strong positive genetic
correlation between fecundity in the presence (on WT) and in the absence
of JA-defenses (on def-1). However, fecundity did not correlate
with the magnitude of induced JA-defenses in WT plants. Our results
suggest that JA-defences have a minimal impact on the performance of the
specialist T. evansi, either because all lines can adequately
reduce levels of defences, or because they are resistant to such
defences.
Adaptation of Digital Twins as a methodology for management and development of Secure Software Systems
Authors: Satyarthi Sandhya , Pandey Dhirendra
Published: December 2022

System development is frequent nowadays, and maintaining an ideal degree
of security and trustworthiness remains challenging. However, research
shows that software developers usually lack the knowledge and skills
required to design safe software systems. Such expertise ensures that,
in addition to adhering to the safe software development lifecycle, the
relevant security parameters are fulfilled. Engineers and developers are
always concerned with monitoring, tracking, and implementing critical
product requirements. However, as technology evolves, digitization
brings several opportunities for more sustainable system engineering and
administration. With the aid of digital twins, a dynamic digital
representation of a physical system is updated and maintained to build a
more detailed virtual replica of the system. For better administration
and faster processing, we believe digital twins to be a superior
approach to examine the enhanced output and specified structure of safe
software systems and their implementation. This article discusses a
methodology for designing and monitoring safe software with the use of
digital twins. It also describes how it works and how it may be used to
make software systems more secure.

Sustainable lean implementation: A study of Serbian companies
Authors: Todorovic Mirjana , Cupic Milan , Jovanovic Dejan
Published: December 2022

We aim to identify and analyse the key success factors of sustainable lean
implementation and investigate the changes in management accounting and
performance measurement systems after lean implementation. We analyse four
large, publicly traded Serbian companies that have implemented lean. To
introduce diversity into our sample we choose companies from different
industries and with different competitive and organizational
characteristics. We use a multiple case study method to analyse the motives
behind, barriers to, and implications of lean implementation and to examine
the management accounting and performance measurement systems of companies
implementing lean. Our results suggest that the key factors of sustainable
lean implementation are continuous communication of the objectives and
importance of the lean project, continuous improvement of soft skills,
development of teamwork and employee motivation, dedicated management, a
supportive work environment, and continuous monitoring of the implemented
changes and results. Our results also point to the importance of changes and
improvements in the management accounting and performance measurement
systems during and after lean implementation.

Mormon as Editor: A Study in Colophons, Headers, and Source Indicators
Authors: Mackay Thomas W.
Published: December 2022

The Book of Mormon contains various colophons and source indicators that signal documents or authors that Mormon and the writers of the small plates used, quoted, paraphrased, or summarized in composing the final text. Some of these headers have been italicized and separated out by the printer; others form an integral part of the text but could as well have been separated and italicized. Mormon’s extensive notation of sources is another set of evidence for the intricate and complex nature of the text and, simultaneously, of the magnitude of Mormon’s work as an ancient editor and historian.
Present Participle Adjuncts in the Book of Mormon
Authors: Childs Larry G.
Published: December 2022

Participle adjuncts in the Book of Mormon are compared with those in the other writings of Joseph Smith and with English in general. Participle adjuncts include present participle phrases, e.g., "having gained the victory over death" (Mosiah 15:8); present participle clauses, e.g., "he having four sons" (Ether 6:20), and a double-subject adjunct construction, known as the coreferential subject construction, where both subjects refer to the same thing, as in "Alma, being the chief judge . . . of the people of Nephi, therefore he went up with the people" (Alma 2:16). The Book of Mormon is unique in the occurrences of extremely long compound adjunct phrases and coreferential subject constructions, indicating that Joseph Smith used a very literal translation style for the Book of Mormon.

Authors: GEYİK Caner , GUMUS Z. Pinar , YARARBAS Gorkem
Published: December 2022

Electronic cigarettes have become popular worldwide in recent years although their effects on human health are still not properly known. The lack of regulations brings a problem of inconsistency between ingredients and the product label. We aimed to analyse the contents of widely used e-liquids and their effects on two different cell lines. Eleven e-liquid samples were selected according to their availability and popularity. Nicotine, propylene glycol (PG), glycerine (GLY), and volatile compounds in e-liquids were analysed by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Gas Chromatography (GC). 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) cell viability assay was used to determine the effects of e-liquids on transformed human normal liver epithelial cell line (THLE-2) and human pharyngeal carcinoma cell line (Detroit 562). Nicotine amounts were found to be consistent with product labels. and GLY were not only different between brands but also for products within the same brand. THLE-2 cell viability was inversely correlated with e-liquid concentration. However, decreases in cell viability were not correlated with nicotine amount. Interestingly, effects of several samples on Detroit 562 cells were triphasic; decrease in viability at lower doses, cell survival in mid-concentrations and loss of viability in highest doses. The analytical composition of e-liquids differs greatly among products which corresponds to different cellular effects. Viability of cancer cells does not change in a dose-dependent manner, which suggest that cellular differences may play role in the outcome of these products.
THE PREFERENCE PRIORITY OF Bacillus subtilis IN UPTAKING FREE DNA DURING THE NATURAL TRANSFORMATION
Authors: TARTIK Musa
Published: December 2022

Although genetic material is vertically transferred between generations via sexual or asexual reproduction, similarities in some chromosome and gene parts of unrelated organisms provide important clues for another way of transfer. The mobility of genetic information among different organisms, known as horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has immediate or delayed effects on the recipient host. One of the most notable mechanisms of HGT is natural transformation (NT), a process in which cells take free DNA from the extracellular environment and incorporate it into their chromosomes by homologous recombination. NT is widely conserved in many bacterial species as it can promote to spread of resistance genes. Although it is known that many organisms rely on HGT, there is limited information about how they decide which particular genetic material to horizontally transfer. Here, I have investigated the preference priority among different gene sources presented under certain stress conditions for Bacillus subtilis possessing NT ability. To test this, two DNA specimens (E and C) with different sequence contents of the same length were presented to B. subtilis under different stress environments (BK, BC, BE and BCE). The hypothesis was evaluated according to the analysis of the results of colonial formations on selective plates (pE, pC and pCE). The obtained data presented a strong positive correlation that the bacteria have preference priority during NT depending on a stimulator. The tendency of the bacteria to uptake useful DNA fragments in a specific environment can be suggested. For instance, the majority of colonies grow on pE plates rather than the pC and pCE when the transformation media includes erythromycin (Eryt) as an inducer. Although the data significantly overlaps with the idea claiming that the bacteria have a preference priority to uptake free DNAs during NT, further investigations are needed to support the present data and for better understanding of the phenomenon.

The results of the analysis of algorithmic models of machine learning application to the freight transportation process are given in this paper. Analysis of existing research allowed discovering a range of advantages in the application of computational intelligence in logistic systems, including increasing the accuracy of forecasting, reduction of transport costs, increasing the efficiency of cargo delivery, risks reduction, and search for key performance factors. In the research process, the main directions of application of algorithmic models of machine learning were determined. They are vehicle routing, choice of cargo type, transportation type and vehicle type; forecasting fuel consumption by vehicles, disruptions in transportation, transport costs, duration of the order fulfillment; evaluation of the rolling stock fleet and the efficiency of carrying out the transport task. Based on the researched publications, the most common algorithmic models of machine learning in freight transportation were identified, and their effectiveness was analyzed. Linear and logistic regression models are simple enough; however, they do not always provide high simulation results. Deep learning models are quite widely applied to all identified areas. Decision tree and random forest models often show the highest simulation performance. Models of k-nearest neighbors and support vectors should be used both in classification tasks, for example, in choosing the type of cargo and type of transportation, and for forecasting the fuel consumption and the duration of the transport process.

Optimizing transfers during public transport operations is one of the essential components of improving the quality of transport. Several factors influence the passenger's perception of a transfer: from the personal characteristics of the user of transport services to the parameters of the route network, trip characteristics and the design of transfer stops. The method of constructing Bayesian networks was used as one of the effective methods for solving problems of forecasting complex systems to find the relationship between different types of input data that affect the probability of making a transfer at a stop. The need for a transfer arises for a passenger when two reasons are combined: the need to make a trip between two transport areas and the lack of a direct public transport route between these transport areas. The number of needs for trip will depend on the number of residents in the departure zone, and the probability of not having a direct route will depend on the total number of routes departing from this zone. A simulation was carried out in the PTV Visum software environment (on the example of Lviv city) to determine the impact of these factors on the probability of changing at a stop. As a result, data were obtained on the total amount of passenger exchange at the stops of the public transportation system with distribution into the number of passengers disembarking at the stop, the number of passengers transferring at this stop, and the number of passengers going (up to 200 m) to another stop to transfer. The average waiting time for a transfer at a stop depends on both the number of routes passing through the stop and the regularity of traffic. Strict adherence to traffic schedules helps to reduce the average waiting time for a transfer. A comparison of the results of calculating the probability of a transfer at one of the stops using calculations based on field observation data and using modeling was carried out to check the adequacy of the modeling. The calculated probability is 0.16, the simulated probability is 0.12.
The influence of friction between elements of dual-mass flywheel on oscillatory phenomena in a car transmission

Automobile manufacturers, when designing new cars, are increasingly faced with the need to reduce the weight of components in order to achieve the required level of fuel consumption and environmental standards. As a result, internal combustion engines (ICEs) with a small number of cylinders are designed and manufactured, which allows to achieve an increase in output power due to increased pressure in the cylinder and more efficient fuel combustion. As a result of this, torsional vibrations occur on the crankshaft, which are transmitted and negatively affect the transmission, causing it to fail prematurely. The damping properties of dual-mass flywheel (DMF) in a straight line depend on their structure and design parameters. All modern DMF contain a certain amount of thick lubricant, which in one way or another improves its characteristics. But in addition to parts, flywheels that constantly work in an environment with lubricant, there are also elements between which dry friction occurs, which also affects the damping characteristics of the flywheel. Therefore, it can be assumed that its presence affects the elastic-damping properties of the DMF. The purpose of the work is to develop simulation models and study the effect of friction between DMF elements on oscillatory processes in the car transmission and to develop recommendations for reducing the load on DMF elements and transmission links. The effect of dry and viscous friction between the elements of a DMF on the damping of oscillations in the links of its elastic-damping system and the drive links of the car was studied. It is shown that an increase in the coefficient of dry friction between DMF elements from 0 to 0.3 does not provide a noticeable damping of oscillations in the drive links and tension in the DMF springs. The coefficient of viscous friction between the links of the DMF has a significant influence on the amount of tension in the springs of the DMF. To increase the resource of the DMF, it is advisable to install separators made of polymer material between the elastic links with a small coefficient of friction between it and the steel body of the DMF.
The Experiences of Children with Exceptionalities in Two Mainstream Primary Schools in Postcolonial Guyana
Authors: Lashley Lidon
Published: December 2022

This paper is an outcome from the investigation into the learning and socializing experiences and opportunities of children with Special Education Needs and/or Disabilities (SEN/D) in the two mainstream primary schools in Guyana. This study was conducted using an ethnographic approach over two semesters in 2018 employing participant observation and unstructured interviews. The data gathered was analyzed using situational analysis as posited by Adele Clarke. It revealed that children with exceptionalities also find the two mainstream schools challenging while dealing with marginalization, discrimination and stay in your lane directives differently than their peers who were perceived as unteachable and unwanted in mainstream schools. The data reveals the innovativeness and resilience of the children with exceptionalities as they navigate the barriers, they face in the two mainstream schools. Finally, I reveal through the data the power interplay among the individual children with exceptionalities, children without SEN/D and their mainstream teachers.
