Remediación del pasivo ambiental de Pio Pata por biolixiviación
Authors: Meza Perez Palma Marco Antonio
Published: February 2024

La presencia de un pasivo ambiental metalúrgico en la zona urbana de Huancayo-Junín, en el barrio de Yauris de la urbanización Pio Pata por varias décadas es, indudablemente, una fuente de contaminación y riesgo ambiental para la salud humana y el ecosistema. Estos relaves contienen metales pesados y residuos de reactivos empleados en la flotación de minerales de la Ex Concentradora de Yauris. Los impactos que generan los relaves son diversos, pero se pueden puntualizar la generación de polvo atmosférico en el estío, generación de aguas ácidas e infiltración al subsuelo en la época lluviosa, que, a su vez, movilizan los metales pesados y otros contenidos del relave. En la actualidad, desafortunadamente, el nivel más bajo del pasivo ha venido siendo cubierta precariamente por desmonte de construcción y otros, para luego ser lotizada con fines habitacionales con los obvios riesgos consiguientes. El presente estudio buscó seleccionar un procedimiento tecnológico que permita remediar esta situación: Se consideraron tres criterios fundamentales, las características del sitio, las características tecnológicas y la ubicación de la metodología. Como resultado, la biolixiviación con microorganismos nativos resulta la mejor opción de remediación. Es importante que los detalles tecnológicos sean refrendados con pruebas y ensayos para diseñar una metodología adecuada que asegure la efectividad y rendimiento necesarios para realizar una remediación en beneficio de la salud humana, salud del ecosistema y la socioeconomía del entorno.

Efectividad de los procesos Fenton y Fenton-like en el tratamiento de efluentes de queso
Authors: Oré Vidalon Salvador Teodulo , Guzmán Estremadoyro Leonor Jesús
Published: February 2024

Con frecuencia, los efluentes de queso se han definido como aguas residuales de alta concentración con valores máximos de Demanda Química de Oxígeno (DQO). Los catalizadores a base de hierro se han discutido porque la idea principal de los procesos Fenton y Fenton-like se originó utilizando materiales que contienen hierro. Este es un metal que forma complejos estables con los productos de degradación. Bajo estas consideraciones se plantea como objetivo evaluar el proceso homogéneo Fenton y Fenton-like como alternativa para el tratamiento del suero de queso. De acuerdo al diseño experimental aplicando el método de Taguchi y resolviendo con el software estadístico Minitab 18, los factores principales de relación de peróxido de hidrógeno/ion ferroso y pH son significativos para el proceso de Fenton. Para el proceso de Fenton-like los factores principales significativos son temperatura, relación de peróxido de hidrógeno/ion férrico y tiempo. Las interacciones no son significativas para un nivel de significancia de 0.05. Los factores principales estan fuera de los límites de decisión, de acuerdo al análisis de medias mediante efectos de la interacción para el proceso Fenton y Fenton-like y estas condiciones indican que la diferencia entre cada una de estas medias y la media general es estadísticamente significativa. La ecuación de regresión en unidades no codificadas para el proceso Fenton fue: Y 2+DQO = (88.83−0.045×Temperatura−1.928H2O2)/(Fe2+−4.66×pH−0.124×Tiempo) y para el proceso Fenton-like fue: Y 3+DQO = (−6.59+1.196×Temperatura+0.975H2O2)/(Fe3+ +1.02×pH +0.215×Tiempo) Palabras clave: proceso Fenton, Fenton-like, tratamiento suero de queso.

IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON ADOLESCENTS’ IDENTITY DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Neethipudi Olivet Kiranmayi , M.S. Chloe Fann
Published: February 2024

Identity development is significant during adolescence, which requires strong peer relationships through social interactions. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has created havoc in human life, where people distanced from each other to save themselves. To overcome this situation, adolescents already born into a digital era who used technology for fun previously increased their dependency on it to learn and develop.This literature review study was conducted using specific criteria that included literature before and after the pandemic and addressed the problem of how adolescents could develop their identity while shifting from face-to-face to virtual platforms during the COVID-19 pandemic. So, this study aimed to observe the adolescent’s identity development before and after the pandemic while considering Erikson’s theory of eight psychosocial stages and Marcia’s identity statuses.Research findings revealed complex positive outcomes and significant negative consequences. The authors argued that whether positive or negative, adolescents’ identity development became weak and pushed them to a new social and historical context that impaired their ability to develop their identity.
VISUALIZING CASTE IDENTITY: AN ANALYSIS OF 'PARIYERUM PERUMAL' TAMIL MOVIE
Authors: A. Vanathu Suresh , R. Subramani
Published: February 2024

Cinema is the most significant form of art and the most profound communication tool. Pariyerum Perumal is a thought-provoking Tamil film directed by Mari Selvaraj. This film looks deeply into the persistent caste myths in Indian society, particularly on the suffering of the Dalit group (formerly known as "untouchables"), the story of Pariyan, a young Dalit student who wants to be a lawyer. Pariyan struggles with the harsh reality of prejudice and caste-based discrimination in a rural Indian setting while he pursues his education. In the story, Pariyan is isolated from his upper-caste colleagues in college and experiences violence and humiliation due to the sharp caste-based division pervasive in society. The film Pariyerum Perumal shows underprivileged groups' tenacity and struggle to claim their identity and dignity. Pariyan is adamant about overcoming trials and obstacles to achieve his goals and free himself from caste oppression. The movie fiercely refutes the idea of caste superiority and exposes the sneaky prejudices based on caste, even among those who appear progressive. This article focused on how Pariyerum Perumal portrays the caste-based problems afflicting modern India painfully and realistically. It sparks crucial dialogues on caste prejudice, violence, and the pressing need for societal transformation to destroy the antiquated caste myths that still exclude and oppress millions of people in the nation.

Solution of The Duffing Equation Using Exponential Time Differencing Method
Authors: Illahi Ramadian Ridho , Marzuki Marzuki , Hudha Lalu Sahrul
Published: February 2024

To describe the spring stiffening effect that occurs in physics and engineering problems, Georg Duffing added the cubic stiffness term to the linear harmonic oscillator equation and is now known as the Duffing oscillator. Despite its simplicity, its dynamic behavior is very diverse. In this research, the Exponential Time Difference method is introduced to solve the Duffing oscillator numerically. To formulate the ETD method, we were using the integration factors. It is a function which, when multiplied by an ordinary differential equation, produces a differential equation that can be integrated. This method is an effective numerical method for solving complex differential equations, especially equations that have strong non-linearity The ETD method delivers highly accurate numerical solutions for the Duffing oscillator, with minimal discrepancy from the analytical results. Through parameter variation, the ETD method's applicability extends to diverse Duffing oscillator configurations.

Binary Oppositions in Arnold Whittall, Exploring Twentieth-Century Music: Tradition and Innovation (Cambridge University Press, 2003) and Their Implications for Analysis
Authors: Latham Edward D.
Published: February 2024

Arnold Whittall’s Exploring Twentieth-Century

Music (Cambridge, 2003) posits a set of binary oppositions

(Tradition-Innovation, Apollo-Dionysus) as foundational for twentieth-century

compositional thought. The relationships between these oppositions are

examined, and four implications for analysis are discussed, including the need

to combine structuralism and hermeneutics, undertake comparative analysis,

examine source documents, and place discontinuity on equal footing with

organicism and coherence. An analysis of Act 1, Scene 2 of Arnold Schoenberg’s

Moses und Aron (1933) is offered as one example of the ways in which

Whittall’s perspective might be incorporated into a close reading.
Making Sense of Rock’s Tonal Systems
Authors: Everett Walter T.
Published: February 2024

Despite frequently voiced assertions and their underlying presumptions, there is no single sort of tonal behavior common to all rock music, but rather a spectrum of approaches to scales, harmonic function and voice leading. This essay addresses the issue from two perspectives. The first suggests an array of six tonal systems ranging from the traditional major mode through modal (including minor-pentatonic) practices having increasing structural value, to chromatic relations with little basis in any deeper diatony. The second perspective studies the varied degrees of interaction between harmony and voice leading evidenced in samples of rock music from two historically opposed timeframes, the more homogeneous span of 1957–58 and the more radically experimental period of 1999–2000. Finally, Beck’s “Lonesome Tears” (2003) serves as a model for an analytical approach to one iconoclastic combination of voice leading and harmony.
On and On
Authors: Garcia Luis-Manuel
Published: February 2024

Repetition has often been cast in a negative light,

associated with immature or regressive states. This view is reflected in music

criticism and pedagogy, recast in aesthetic terms and it also reappears in

cultural criticism, attacking repetition as a dangerous tool for social control.

Defenses that have been mounted in favor of repetition seem inadequate in that

they tend to recategorize certain repetitive practices as not-quite-repetition,

rather than defend repetition tout court. This article uses examples from

Electronic Dance Music (EDM) to provide an alternate approach to repetition that

focuses on the experience of pleasure instead of a static attribution of

aesthetic or ethical value. In particular, this is explored through three

concepts:  repetition as process, repetition as prolongation of pleasure,

and process itself as pleasurable. Underlying these concepts is a formulation of

pleasure first coined as Funktionslust, or “function pleasure,”

reconceived here as “process pleasure.”

Authors: Grünwald Klara , Van den Broeck Anja , Colledani Daiana , Lermer Eva , Falvo Rossella , Hudecek Matthias F. C.
Published: February 2024

Currently, there is no validated German tool that captures the basic needs as outlined in Self-Determination Theory (SDT) in the organizational context. To be able to collect reliable and valid data and use the results of German research on SDT to derive and implement empirically grounded practical implications that foster employee well-being, performance, and companies’ growth, a validated measurement tool is a compulsory requirement. Therefore, this study aimed to fill that gap and developed and validated a German version of the Work-related Basic Need Satisfaction scale (W-BNS). We replicated the three-factor structure, as well as the reliability of the three subscales and could extensively confirm the construct- and the criterion-related validity of the original W-BNS for the German version (W-BNS-G, N=648). Additionally, multi-group comparisons were conducted to investigate cultural measurement invariance with the Dutch and the Italian version of the W-BNS. In summary, the present study provides a tool with high reliability and validity assessing the basic needs in the organizational context in German language. We address the potential comparability of German, Italian, and Dutch findings using the different versions of the W-BNS and conclude by discussing the limitations of the present study and deriving suggestions for future research.
Decision-Making under Uncertainty
Authors: Bruckner Rasmus , Nassar Matt R.
Published: February 2024

Decision neuroscience examines the neurobiological and computational foundations underlying decision-making. Economic decision-making, for example, about which item to purchase, is thought to depend on internal representations of subjective values related to the expected reward or punishment associated with an option. Economic choices typically involve risk due to inherent unpredictability of outcomes. Perceptual decision-making concerns choices based on sensory information under perceptual uncertainty about stimuli and environmental states, such as whether to drive or stop at a traffic light. Decision-making also requires responding to systematic environmental changes, which increases uncertainty substantially. We present common computational models and review behavioral and neurobiological findings of studies on these important concepts in perceptual and economic decision-making, as well as how these two classes of decision-making interact in natural settings.
Grasp and Remember: The Impact of Human and Robotic Actions on Object Preference and Memory
Authors: Kafkas Alex , Rowland Megan , Gallina Paolo , Ticini Luca F.
Published: February 2024

Goal contagion, the tendency to adopt others' goals, significantly impacts cognitive processes, which gains particular importance in the emerging field of human-robot interactions. The present study explored how observing human versus robotic actions affects preference and memory. Series of objects undergoing either human or robotic grasping actions together with static (no action) objects were presented, while participants indicated their preference for each object. After a short delay, their memory for grasped, static and new (unstudied) stimuli was tested. Human actions enhanced preference and subsequent recollection of objects, more than robotic actions. In the context of human action, static objects were also perceived as more familiar at recognition. The goal contagion's influence on memory was found to be independent from its impact on preference. These findings highlight the critical role of human interaction in eliciting the impact of goal contagion on cognitive evaluations, memory engagement and the creation of detailed associative memories.
Are Brenda, Juanita, and Latoya more feminine than Jia and Neha? Gendered Evaluations of Racialized Names
Authors: Goh Jin X.
Published: February 2024

Names are frequently used in social science research to manipulate identities such as race and gender. However, past research has shown that racialized names (i.e., names that are associated with particular racial-ethnic groups) could signal identities that researchers did not intend, such as social class. This research tested another methodological issue concerning names in which identities intended by researchers are not signaled clearly. Three studies (N = 1,100 US participants from Prolific and CloudResearch Connect) examined the perceived femininity and masculinity of names from five racial groups: Chinese, Indian, Black, Hispanic, and White. Studies 1 and 2 consistently found that Chinese and Indian female names were perceived as less feminine and more masculine than the three other racialized female names, which contradicts extant findings using Asian female faces. Chinese and Indian male names, on the other hand, were considered more feminine and less masculine than the other racialized male names. Study 3 found that participants expressed greater uncertainty in categorizing the gender and lower confidence in knowing the gender of Chinese and Indian names compared to other racialized names. This research raises potential methodological concerns regarding the effectiveness of racialized names in signaling the gender of Asian ethnic groups.
Analysis of Factors Affecting Repurchase Intentions with Purchasing Decisions as Mediating Variables
Authors: Satoto Eko Budi
Published: February 2024

This study seeks to examine the factors influencing repurchase intentions, with a focus on purchasing decisions as a mediator. Using Smart PLS version 3.0 and a quantitative approach, the research involves Mie Gacoan Jember customers as the population, with 200 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data collection involves a Likert Scale questionnaire. The results reveal that Store Atmosphere and Promotional Media Through Instagram significantly and positively impact purchasing decisions, while Product Variety does not. However, Store Atmosphere and product variety have a negative and insignificant effect on Repurchase Intention, contrasting with the positive impact of promotional interest through Instagram and purchasing decisions on Repurchase Intention. Purchasing decisions do not mediate the relationship between Store Atmosphere and product variety on Repurchase Intention but do mediate the effect of promotional interest through Instagram. The study's theoretical contribution provides insights for companies and researchers to enhance understanding of improving purchasing decisions and customer loyalty in physical stores and through social media promotions. Practical implications suggest that companies should enhance store atmosphere and Instagram promotions to boost purchasing decisions and repeat purchases, emphasizing the limited impact of product variety. The study acknowledges limitations and recommends future research to explore additional variables influencing consumer behavior.
Assessment of birth cohort screening of chronic hepatitis C in colorectal cancer screening patients in British Columbia
Authors: Kaviani Rojin , Chou Frank Y , He Chenxi , Marquez Vladimir
Published: February 2024

Background:

Since 2018, British Columbia (BC) has recommended chronic hepatitis C (HCV) screening for those born between 1945 and 1964, with a provincial prevalence of 2.31%. Combining HCV and colorectal cancer (CRC) screening can facilitate specialist referrals and follow-up. We assessed HCV screening uptake among CRC screening patients following the release of BC’s birth cohort guidelines and examined the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on HCV screening practices.

Methods:

A retrospective review was conducted on patients referred to Vancouver Coastal Health Authority’s CRC screening program. Two groups, Cohort A (October–December 2019) and Cohort B (December 2021), were studied to identify pandemic-related changes. Data on demographics, liver disease history, hepatitis B or HIV co-infection rates, and initial anti-hepatitis C and ribonucleic acid (RNA) testing dates were collected. Statistical analyses were performed with Stata 15.1.

Results:

A total of 579 patients were referred for the CRC screening program, of whom 465 were born between 1945 and 1964 and were included in the study. Among the 348 patients in cohort A, 144 (41%, 95% CI 36%–47%) were screened for HCV infection. Of these, four (1.2%) were positive for anti-hepatitis C, and one patient had positive RNA levels. Similar proportions of screenings were observed in cohort B (47.8%, 95% CI 39%–57%). Of those with liver disease, 66% had been screened for HCV.

Conclusion:

Birth cohort screening for HCV has been underutilized in British Columbia. Combining HCV and CRC screening could provide a practical approach to linking patients to health care.

Prior research has found that insecure romantic attachment orientations (anxiety and avoidance) are associated with lower sexual satisfaction in oneself and one’s partner. Stress is known to exacerbate insecure attachment tendencies, and couples with children are often exposed to parenting stress, which has been associated with lower sexual satisfaction. It is therefore possible that parenting stress moderates the association between the attachment and sexual systems, such that among those who are high in parenting stress, the negative link between attachment insecurity and sexual satisfaction is stronger. The objective of this study was to examine the link between romantic attachment and sexual satisfaction, and the impact of parenting stress on this association. One hundred three mixed-sex couples completed self-report questionnaires and were included in actor and partner analyses. Both parents’ attachment avoidance was associated with their own reduced sexual satisfaction. Fathers’ attachment avoidance was associated with mothers’ reduced sexual satisfaction. Additionally, fathers’ parenting stress moderated the association between their own romantic attachment avoidance and their partner’s sexual satisfaction. Contrary to prediction, as fathers’ parenting stress increased, the association between their higher attachment avoidance and mothers’ lower sexual satisfaction became weaker. Findings are discussed in light of research and theory on the role of attachment and parenting stress for sexual satisfaction in couples with children.

The purpose of research: сomparative assessment of the effectiveness of sunflower cultivation with the introduction of traditional and resource-saving tillage systems in the soil and climatic conditions of Western Ukraine. Research methods: hypothesis, experiment, field observation, laboratory, visual and comparative calculation method. Research results: Field research was carried out in the soil and climatic conditions of Western Ukraine on a field with sod and deep clayey sandy soils. Plots with different tillage systems were laid out for research: plot 1 – traditional tillage (plowing to a depth of 25 cm); plot 2 – conservation tillage of the soil (chiseling to a depth of 35 cm); plot 3 – mulching of the soil (disking to a depth of 10 cm). According to the results of the research, a positive effect of the intensity and depth of the main tillage on plant height and elements of the structure of the sunflower crop was noted. With traditional tillage, the highest yield of sunflower seeds was noted - 1.81 t/ha. On the plot with conservation tillage, the yield is 1.75 t/ha, and on the plot with mulch tillage – 1.72 t/ha. The yield difference between the best and worst indicators was only 0.09 t/ha. Plowing requires significant energy and labor costs, which exceed similar indicators for the implementation of tillage systems. Direct operating costs for plowing were the largest and amounted to 1,661 UAH /ha, which is 618 and 986 UAH /ha more than the costs of deep plowing and disking, respectively. The introduction of traditional tillage contributes to the formation of the highest yield and an increase in profit by 192-229 UAH /ha. However, despite the lowest profit, the highest profitability of 52.2% was obtained due to the lowest costs on the plot with mulching, which is 1.0-1.8% more than on the plots with conservation and traditional tillage systems. Conclusions. The results of the conducted research and calculations indicate that the investigated tillage systems (traditional, conservation and mulching) are at the same level in terms of yield and economic efficiency of sunflower cultivation in the conditions of Western Ukraine. Keywords: research: sunflower, tillage systems, yield, efficiency.
‘Good Jew, Bad Jew’
Authors: Friedman Steven , Piper Laurence
Published: February 2024

In Good Jew, Bad Jew Steven Friedman argues that the meaning of anti-Semitism favoured by the Israeli government and its allies prioritises loyalty to the Israeli state over identification with the Jewish people. On this view, ‘good Jews’ are those who support the Israeli state, and ‘bad Jews’ are those who criticise Zionism. This framing reflects a discursive transition over decades linked to the desire to make Israel part of Europe politically and culturally. Not only has the Zionist version of anti-Semitism inverted traditional notions of Jewishness but it has transformed ‘Jewishness’ from the ‘other’ to whiteness, to an ally of white supremacists. This racial embrace goes hand in glove with the brutal practice of colonial violence evident in Gaza. Friedman makes his case drawing on the work African scholars such as Biko, Fanon and Mamdani, Southern scholars such as Ashis Nandy, as well as established scholars of the North.

Published: February 2024

Integrating theoretical concepts into practical applications is crucial, especially in specialized fields like art conservation science. Bridging this gap between chemistry pedagogy and practical application is essential in developing students' skills in applicable contexts. This article aims to introduce a novel pedagogical methodology for enhancing learning in chemistry. This strategic assignment focuses on conserving cultural heritage artifacts, emphasizing the practical application of chemistry concepts. The article seeks to explore the potential benefits of this approach and provide insights into how to implement such assignments in general chemistry courses. The assignment requires students to select and analyze artwork of cultural significance while applying central chemistry concepts from the course curriculum to the conservation process. The students will then prepare written reports following a pre-established template. The student reports will serve as a valuable educational resource for future students. This approach creates a conducive environment for immersive learning by showcasing the practical application of course concepts within art conservation science. From the assignment, students demonstrated a nuanced understanding of chemistry's integral role in preserving cultural heritage, acknowledging the interplay between environmental conditions, material properties, and their impact on artifact longevity. They appreciated the necessity of chemical analysis in determining artifact composition, guiding the development of tailored conservation methodologies. Notably, students recognized the value of these preservation efforts in maintaining historical authenticity, serving as educational tools, and bolstering cultural pride.

Transport is a relevant process during pigs’ lives because of its impact on animal welfare. Considering commercial conditions, several factors vary between journeys; therefore, it is important to establish the influence of transport distance on skin lesion scores in finishing pigs, considering weather and vibration conditions. Skin lesion score was assessed in 649 finishing pigs at the farms before loading, with a five-point scale (0= none to 4 = ≥ 16 superficial lesions or > 10 deep lesions), and at the slaughterhouse after unloading. Three transport distances were evaluated (short, intermediate and long), in which microclimatic and vibration conditions were monitored from the vehicle’s compartments. Intermediate distances showed higher proportions of worst score (4) at the front part, whereas long distances presented worst score at the middle and hind quarters. Short distances displayed higher proportions of worst score at ears. Temperatures inside the vehicle were above the thermal comfort limit for pigs, providing a heat stress condition. Vibrations were higher sideways than in the vertical and longitudinal directions. Transport under tropical conditions negatively affected the skin injuries score, indicating a higher incidence of skin wounds at the slaughterhouse than in the farms. Body parts can be affected differently by distance, considering skin lesion scores.
