Human resource development was the development of individuals, groups or communities by providing knowledge, expertise, and experience so that they can carry out their roles and responsibilities in society. Problems that occur in parenting include: Parents give freedom to children to watch TV without supervision, give children to play PS, give gadgets to children, spoil children, compare children, and it is not uncommon to even scold and even hit children. One of the activities that can be done in human resource development is "Parenting". Parenting is an activity to develop human resources in order to provide education to parents regarding how to provide the best care for their children to shape their children's character from an early age. Because the most important education and the first in shaping the character of early childhood is education from the family, especially from parents. Education in the family plays a very important role in developing one's character, character and personality. Therefore, character education in the family needs to be seriously empowered. Character education in the family provided by parents can shape various characters of early childhood. The characters include: Religious, Honest, Tolerance, Discipline, Hard Work, Creative, Independent, Democratic, Curiosity, National Spirit, and Love of the Homeland, Appreciating Achievement, and Friendly / communicative, Love Peace, Love to Read, Care for the Environment, Social Care, and Responsibility.

Published: April 2022

Penulis mencermati suatu isu yang mencuat di dalam perekonomian Indonesia, yaitu isu mengenai redenominasi rupiahyang diangkat oleh Bank Indonesia. Secara konsep redenominasi diibaratkan sebagai dua keping sisi mata uang, yang mana akan memiliki keuntungan namun di salah satu sisi dapat menjadi kerugian dan bumerang bagi pemerintahan ekonomi Indonesia. Di satu sisi diharapkan menimbulkan keefektifan dan tingginya kualitas nilai mata uang, namun di sisi lain terjadi penolakkan dan argumentasi kontradiktif akan dampak redenominasi yang kurang dalam sosialisasinya dapat memberikan gambaran pemotongan nilai intrisik mata uang. Redenominasi akan membuat beberapa signifikansi khusus atas nilai keuntungan, di mana salah satunya adalah redenominasi memberikan efisiensi dalam proses pencatatan sebab dengan redenominasi yang memang benar terjadi simplifikasi hitung-hitungan uang di Indonesia. Karenanya,penulis menyimpulkan bahwa redenominasi rupiah adalah sesuatu hal yang menarik untuk dilaksanakan dan diimplementasikan di Indonesia. Redenominasi dapat diwujudkan di Indonesia dengan baik disertai kesiapan yang tercermin dari stabilitas ekonomi dan politik Indonesia. Sehingga, penulis menilai untuk jangka waktu beberapa tahun ke depan (jangka pendek) redenominasi belum menjadi prioritas untuk segera diimplementasikan di Indonesia jika berkaca pada kestabilan aspek perekonomian dan politik di Indonesia.
Triangular Pendants from Pre-Classical Colchis /სამკუთხა ფორმის საკიდები წინარეანტიკური ხანის კოლხეთში
Authors: Kobalia Nino
Published: April 2022

The present paper discusses one of the most important items characteristic of the Pre-Classical period Colchian goldsmithing - the triangular-shaped pendants. They reflect the way of adapting the common epoch-making fashion and trends to the local tastes and traditions, which is also felt well by other jewelers of this period.

The paper defines their distribution area, chronology and typology. By current data, such pendants, according to stylistic-technological analysis, are the works of local goldsmiths of Pre-Classical period Colchis and the finds of several specimens at archaeological sites of later periods, in our opinion, don`t correspond to the date when the pendants were made.

Published: April 2022

Sheet metal forming is one of the most popular technologies for obtaining finished products in automotive industries. The main techniques of sheet metal forming: sheet microforming, warm/hot forming, incremental sheet forming, flexible-die forming, Electromagnetic sheet forming, Electrohydraulic forming, Spinning and Shear Spinning, Shear Spinning and Flow Forming and cold sheet forming. One most popular cold stamping process. In the production line of Ravne VPS400 1992, we take twenty details for looking quality review, looking for surface damage reasons - a little changing tonnage and speed. The biggest deformation, when velocity is the slowest the tonnage don’t have an impact on this radius deformation.

Firstly, we measured the surface for all twenty details with Contourograph CV-2100 M4. In one measurement point we have ten points which is the biggest or slowest tolerance, these results can be the reason why the detail is damage. These details make one tact process. We can say the recommendation – if the detail will be making for one more tact process, detail not be damage, but this extra process is a very grown the price.

Second, we see metal steel chemistry alloy elements, and we can be looking which elements have some reason mechanical properties of steels.

Our samples have not enough elasticity, and in steel structure we can recommend taking more carbon C, Silicon Si and Vanadium V. Silicon Si, is important for a machinability and tensile properties as well and this element is essential in steel structure.

Thirsty, we used the 3D coordinate measuring machine Mitutoyo SurfaceMeasure 606T, looking for tolerances differences.

And we see in detail which places will have a damage, we have the results lowest from the layout, we see the blue color. If we made detail not one tact process, but more tact’s making detail the thickness would be evenly gradually. The crystalline structure of the metal broke due to excessive thinning.

Authors: ZHU Enze , CHEN Hu , FANG Xingbo , NIE Hong
Published: April 2022

This study concentrates on the fatigue performance of ultra-high-strength steel Aermet100 under different loading rates. The standard specimen measured the static mechanical properties of Aermet100 steel, based on which the basic mechanical properties and fracture characteristics of the sample before and after necking was obtained. To take the strain rate effect into account, this study uses the dynamic constitutive model Johnson-Cook. The equation parameters are fitted through dynamic mechanical tests and quasi-static tests. This model is input into ABAQUS user-defined program afterward. Referring to the work done above, along with the extended finite element method (XFEM), this study establishes the dynamic fracture finite element model of the Aermet100 steel specimen on the basis of the continuous damage mechanics. Five groups of specimen fatigue tests were carried out in the laboratory. Simulation results show the feasibility and accuracy of the integrated XFEM model with the same loading and boundary conditions. The experimental data and simulation results prove that, in the loading time range of 0.0001 ~ 1s, the life cycles increase as the loading rate increases. It is worth mentioning that when the loading time is in the order of 0.0001s, the life changes significantly.
Spiritualität der Wahrnehmung
Authors: Vasseur Clara , Bündgens Johannes
Published: April 2022

Dieses Buch will im Kontext einer säkularisierten Gesellschaft einen Weg zeigen, wie Menschen in dieser Welt und in dieser Zeit Erfahrungen von Gott und mit Gott machen können. Dabei bezieht es sich auf die nur wenig bekannten Arbeiten des Jesuiten Marcel Jousse (1886–1961), der als Erster einen leiborientierten Ansatz vorgestellt hat. Ihm zufolge kommt dem Leib eine wesentliche Rolle in der Erkenntnis- und Wertebildung zu. Das Leibgedächtnis ist mehr noch als das kognitive Gedächtnis der Ort, an dem sich Identität bildet und bewahrt wird. Dieser Ansatz ermöglicht einen neuen Zusammenhang zwischen Phänomenologie, Anthropologie und praktischer Theologie: Aus phänomenologischer Sicht wird das betrachtet, was gewahr werden will, wenn „Gott ins Denken einfällt“ (Levinas). Dabei ist es gerade der Leib, der es vermag, Transzendenz durchscheinen zu lassen. Er ist „der Tempel Gottes“. er kann die unsichtbare Präsenz Gottes sichtbar machen.

Für die Spiritualität der Wahrnehmung bedeutet dies, dass die Beziehung zu Gott über die Empfindungen des Leibgedächtnisses gewahr werden, bewahrt und neu belebt werden kann. Ins Zentrum rücken die Erfahrung und das Gespür für eine Wirklichkeit, hinter denen all unsere Erklärungen immer zurückbleiben werden.
Ausgrabungen zum wirklichen Leben
Authors: Schmitz Hermann
Published: April 2022

Schmitz zieht in diesem Buch die Bilanz eines mehr als fünfzigjährigen Fortschreitens im Dienst der Aufgabe, den Menschen ihr wirkliches Leben begreiflich zu machen. Er stellt zu diesem Zweck vier Säulen seines Werkes vor – unter den Titeln: Subjektivität, Mannigfaltigkeit, Leib und Gefühl, Welt – und bringt grundlegende Fragestellungen der Neuen Phänomenologie zur Sprache:

Der Leib war seit der antiken Welt- und Menschspaltung vergessen und wird in der neueren Leibphilosophie höchstens als irgendwie ergänzter Körper verstanden. Schmitz arbeitet dagegen die mit dem sicht- und tastbaren Körper unvereinbare Räumlichkeit und Dynamik des spürbaren Leibes heraus und verfolgt diese Dynamik in die leibliche Kommunikation. Gefühle sind weder Seelenzustände noch persönliche Stellungnahmen, sondern räumlich ergossene Atmosphären und leiblich ergreifende Mächte. Die primitive Gegenwart, der Ursprung von Leib, Raum und Zeit, wird in ihrer Entfaltung zur Welt nach fünf Seiten – Raum, Zeit, Sein, Identität, Subjektivität – in Abhängigkeit von der satzförmigen Rede des Menschen verfolgt.

Am Schluss steht ein Rückblick auf das Abendland. Die antike Philosophie mit Welt- und Menschspaltung, das mittelalterliche Christentum mit Bindung des affektiven Betroffenseins an die Macht als zentrales Thema, die Neuzeit mit dem gegen Situationen und leibliche Kommunikation blinden Weltbild der Naturwissenschaft haben die Menschen vom Einblick in ihr wirkliches Leben abgelenkt. Die noch unverlorene Kraft kritischer Aufklärung lässt einige Hoffnung auf einen Neubeginn des menschlichen Selbst- und Weltverständnisses im Abendland übrig.
Homo ridens
Authors: Prütting Lenz
Published: April 2022

Diese phänomenologische Studie bietet im historisch orientierten ersten Teil eine umfassende mentalitätsgeschichtliche Analyse der Deutung und Bewertung des Lachens von der europäischen Antike bis zur Gegenwart. Kritisch analysiert werden die wichtigsten und folgenreichsten Argumentationsmodelle.

Der zweite, systematische Teil führt die anthropologisch orientierte Argumentationstradition auf der Grundlage der Neuen Phänomenologie von Hermann Schmitz fort und beschreibt das Lachen in seinen drei Grundtypen als Bekundungs-, Interaktions- und Resonanz-Lachen auf den verschiedenen ontogenetischen Stufen von Lachmündigkeit als Spiel von personaler Emanzipation und personaler Regression wie auch als synergetisch-synästhetisches Gesamtverhalten bei verschiedenen Einstellungen und in verschiedenen Situationen. Ausführlich stellt Lenz Prütting dar, dass die Fähigkeit zum Lachen in seinen verschiedensten Formen dem Menschen eigen ist, ihn erst zum Menschen macht. Er lädt ein, das Lachen und den Humor als wichtige Lebensfunktionen anzusehen.

„Es gilt ein Werk anzuzeigen, wie es wohl nur alle hundert Jahre einmal zustande kommt, speziell über diesen Gegenstand, aber so noch nie geschrieben worden ist, und das, obwohl sich über einen Zeitraum von zweieinhalb Jahrtausenden ausnahmslos alle westlichen Denker damit befasst haben“.

Published: April 2022

This present chapter set one’s sight on understanding the contribution of fatty acid ester (FAE) molecules in deciding the performance, emission, and combustion characteristics of their biodiesel in CI engine. For this purpose, both produced waste animal fat-oil (WaFO) biodiesel and their characterized FAEs, blended in calculated proportions with neat diesel were tested individually under same testing conditions. Preliminary findings confirmed the significant contribution of FAEs in deciding the overall engine characteristics of WaFO biodiesel; and were influenced by their fundamental molecular properties like chain length, and degree of unsaturation. Superior combustion characteristics were accounted by early initiation of combustion by saturated FAEs; followed by prolonged combustion of unsaturated FAEs using fuel bound oxygen content. Meanwhile, mixed performance characteristics were explained by its long chained saturated and unsaturated FAEs, which imparted their higher density and viscosity, and reduced calorific value than neat diesel. Emission characteristics reported reduced CO and HC emission, and increased CO2 and NOX emissions citing the equally balanced concentration of both long chained saturated and unsaturated FAEs, which favored complete combustion using its oxygen molecules. Besides assessing engine characteristics, WaFO biodiesel was evaluated for its fuel properties as per ASTM standards, along with neat diesel.

Published: April 2022

Soybean is the main commodity of Brazilian agribusiness, and the country stands out for the largest world production of this oilseed. The culture is carried out under two main forms of cultivation, conventional and in the form of no tillage. The possibility of two to three agricultural crops per year contributes to the emergence of various plant protection problems, including soybean rust, the stinkbug complex, defoliating caterpillars, nematodes, in addition to competition with weeds. Thus, the purpose of this chapter is to describe the main application techniques of chemical or biological products in the control of agents that are harmful to the soybean crop, as well as to bring technological innovations involving remote sensing, unmanned aerial vehicle, and other techniques of application in the control of these harmful agents to the crop. Also comment on the benefits of spray adjuvants and the limitations of tank-mixes with plant protection products intended for soybean cultivation.
The Direct Anterior Approach: A Comprehensive Guide for the Learner and Educator
Authors: Dehghani Bijan , Dravid Avi , Thota Praneeth , P. Sheth Neil
Published: April 2022

Total hip arthroplasty is one of the most widely performed procedures demonstrating excellent clinical outcomes and implant longevity. Enhanced imaging modalities, advancements in material science, and improvements in surgical technique have contributed to the global success of this procedure. One such technique has gained significant attention over the past decade – the direct anterior approach (DAA). First described by Carl Hueter in 1881, the DAA is now more commonly credited to Smith-Peterson. This technique demonstrates rapid recovery, reduced hospital length of stay, and enhanced stability. Despite these advantages, there is a well reported learning curve for surgeons, particularly for those who trained using an alternative surgical approach. In this chapter we explore a methodological approach to mitigate and decrease the learning curve; allowing for a safe and reproducible guide to teach surgeons how to transition to the DAA.

Published: April 2022

This study introduces laser surface modification technology using a 532 nm Nd:YAG nanosecond laser. A laser beam homogenizer was used to spatially homogenize the laser beam into a square shape with an interference pattern of 30 μm. For laser surface modification processing, primary processing under 110 conditions was first performed, and then, 15 types of main processing conditions were determined based on the three-dimensional surface structure of laser surface modified zircaloy-4. Subsequently, the specimen was post-processed using three methods: left in the air (25 ℃), heated in the oven (200 ℃ for 2 h), and boiled in water (100 ℃ for 2 h). In the absence of post-processing or with heat post-processing, the laser surface modified zircaloy-4 showed super hydrophobicity with a contact angle of 150° or higher for specific laser surface processing parameters. Under specific laser surface processing conditions, the laser surface modified zircaloy-4 with boiling water post-processing exhibited properties close to super hydrophilic with a contact angle of less than 5°. It was confirmed that the surface wettability of zircaloy-4 can be controlled using a spatially shaped nanosecond laser beam.
The effects of age-morphing technology on older adult issue campaigns: The interplay of construal level, perceived probability, and message appeal
Authors: Lee Ah Ram , Hon Linda
Published: April 2022

The current research examined the potential effects of age-morphing technology as a communication tool on reducing ageism and promoting positive attitude and behavioral intention to address issues affecting older adults. Two competing theoretical frameworks—construal level theory (CLT) and perspective taking (PT)—were tested as underlying mechanisms to understand the technology’s effects. In two online experiments, we examined the main and interaction effects of construal level manipulated using the technology and perceived probability of getting Alzheimer’s Disease on ageism, attitude toward helping older adults, behavioral and donation intentions (Study 1) and explored message appeals as a boundary condition to improve the potential negative outcomes of technology-mediated communication (Study 2). The findings revealed that an age-morphed image led to more concrete construal of one’s future life as an older adult. An age-morphed image combined with high perceived probability led to less stereotypical thoughts about older adults and more supporting intentions to address the issue. However, it showed that for low perceived probability, an age-morphed image resulted in less favorable outcomes. The findings showed that a model based on CLT can explain the effects as an underlying mechanism. This research indicates that the effects of age-morphing technology vary but that the technology still can be used as a strategic communication tool that might elicit favorable outcomes depending on how it is combined with perceived probability and message appeals.
A new species of Breviconia Conroy-Dalton & Huys, 2000 (Copepoda: Harpacticoida: Ancorabolidae Sars) from the Bering Sea, northern Pacific Ocean (Russia)
Authors: Garlitska Lesya , George Kai Horst , Chertoprud Elena S.
Published: April 2022

The finding of Breviconia andrei sp. nov. in the Russian Bering Sea enabled the clear-cut phylogenetic characterization of the former monotypic genus Breviconia Conroy-Dalton & Huys, 2000 as a monophylum. Comparison of the new species with B. australis (George, 1998) and other members of the subfamily Ancorabolinae Sars, 1909 yielded four autapomorphies that unambiguously support the monophyletic state of Breviconia: (1) an elongated and approximately 90°-curved mandibular gnathobase, (2) reduction of the maxillar endopod, (3) maxillar endites carrying 2 instead of 3 setae, and (4) loss of the minute seta on the maxillipedal claw. For B. andrei sp. nov., two autapomorphies could be detected, namely, (1) the development of dorsal tubercles on the P5-bearing body somite and (2) the remarkable elongation of the first endopodal segment of the first swimming leg that is twice as long as the whole exopod. Of particular interest is the presence of a 3-segmented endopod in the third swimming leg of the male of B. andrei sp. nov. It disproves the current assumption that the Ancorabolinae are characterized by (among others) the derived presence of an only 2-segmented endopod in the male’s third swimming leg.
THE MARINE COMPONENT OF HUMAN GEOGRAPHY STUDIES IN POST-SOVIET RUSSIA: KEY TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENT PRIORITIES
Authors: Druzhinin Alexander G.
Published: April 2022

Originated in the 1960s, the ‘marine branch’ of Soviet, and later Russian, economic and social geography contributed to the diversification of geographical science and expanded its scope. The new branch was a product of the rapid growth of the marine economy and the country’s military infrastructure and settlement system starting to gravitate towards the World Ocean. This article uses bibliographical and scientometric materials to explore the factors, features and priorities of the development of the Russian post-Soviet human geography of the World Ocean. Special attention is paid to path dependence in the evolution of this branch of geography (associated with the established professional community, the fundamental research themes and the basic concepts) and the emergence of new growth poles within the scope of marine human geography. Although this subdiscipline showed a high degree of resilience in the first years after the demise of the USSR, it became marginalised from the scientific mainstream. The interest in marine studies revived only in the early 2000s, gaining momentum after a decade of desolation. The renaissance was due to new transboundary marine research, the analyses of the geopolitical and geoeconomic aspects of the marine economy and close attention given to coastal border areas (particularly the prospects and risks of the socio-economic development of these territories within the continent-ocean dichotomy). The marine focus of Russia’s geostrategy will generate steady demand for a national human geography of the World Ocean, including its inevitable humanities component. Another trend is the involvement of marine human geography in cross-branch geographical synthesis. The study also identifies Russian research and publication centres excelling at marine human geography.
REGIONAL TRENDS IN ELECTORAL SUPPORT FOR LATVIAN PARTIES: THE NEIGHBOURHOOD EFFECT
Authors: Zhirnova Lidia S.
Published: April 2022

The article analyses the neighbourhood effect in the voting behaviour of the Latvians at the four recent parliamentary elections, the ethnic and national leaning of parties considered. The study expands a set of electoral geography tools by adding modern techniques of spatial analysis as well as by increasing the knowledge on the position of the Russian speakers within Latvia’s political party landscape. The research aims to evaluate the role of the neighbourhood effect at Latvian elections and identify stable spatial voting clusters. The degree of spatial autocorrelation and changes in it were analysed for each parliamentary party and the non-parliamentary but still influential Latvian Russian Union (LRU). Statistically significant spatial clusters of high and low support were identified and compared; their steadiness over the study period was examined. The structure of these clusters is generally the same for the ‘Russian’ parties (Harmony and the LRU), whilst the ‘Latvian’ parties are characterized by greater spatial diversity. The analysis shows that regions bordering on Russia have clear spatial clusters where election results correspond to the parties’ attitudes towards Russian speakers and the Russian Federation. The ‘Russian’ parties and those more or less favourably disposed to Russian speakers (For a Good Latvia, For Latvia from the Heart) have clusters of high support in the area and the ‘Latvian’ parties of low. This pattern, however, may be due to the high proportion of the non-Latvian population in Latgale (a region with strong historical connections with Russia) and the character of the development of the border area, rather than to the proximity to the Russian border.

The paper presents one of the activities at the global level and, there is partially analysed its impact on safety factors in the transport of passengers and goods, as well as in the provision of services in this area at the moment. The issue of road safety cannot be viewed isolated from the rapid economic and social development. Significant efforts have been made to improve safety factors, in particular the construction of the road infrastructure. Having all that in mind, it was necessary to pass appropriate regulations, which seems to be done through the adoption of legislation, the implementation of education, the adoption of the standards for vehicle safety, as well as through a technological development.
The normative regulation of the air protection in legislation of Republic of Serbia
Authors: Varađanin Tanja , Stanković Marko
Published: April 2022

Clean environment is a basis of people's health, but of their daily lives too. Air, water and environment are increasingly polluted under the influence of various threatening factors, which requires a legislative support. Through the provisions of the Law on Environmental Protection (2004), the air protection has in principle been provided, while the specific solutions have been given by the Law on Air Protection (2009), as a lex specialis, which regulates in detail the management of air quality and determining measures, the methods of organizing and controlling the implementation of protection and improvement of air quality as natural values of a general interest enjoying a special protection. In addition to the aforementioned laws, air protection is also regulated by by-laws, namely by various decrees and regulations. The subject of this paper is the analysis of normative solutions for air protection (ambient) according to the legislation of Republic of Serbia and the impact of the important factors on air pollution.
Legislative regime of the control function of the National Bank of Serbia over commercial banks
Authors: Bajčetić Marija
Published: April 2022

The existence of a central bank in one country is of a great importance, because the central bank controls the functioning of the financial market and its participants (banks, insurance companies, financial leasing companies, payment institutions, voluntary pension fund management companies and exchange offices), striving to comply with the law on the National Bank of Serbia in achieving the goals that are clearly and precisely defined. It achieves its goals by performing the intended functions. One of the functions performed by the NBS is reflected in the control of banks, which is the topic of this paper. The control function of the NBS is defined by both the Law on the National Bank of Serbia and the Law on Banks. The NBS performs the function of controlling banks in the process of establishing a bank, but also in the course of its operations. The process of establishing a bank, as the most important financial institution, is far more complex. The complexity of this procedure is reflected in the fact that the legislator has forseen the procedure of obtaining preliminary approval and then obtaining a work permit. After holding the founding assembly of the bank and obtaining the obligatory consent, the bank can be registered. The control function is also represented in the fact that the bank has the obligation to submit regular and extraordinary reports to the National Bank. In this way, the NBS protects the financial market of Republic of Serbia from instability and crises that can cause illiquid, uncertain and illegal operations of banks.

Published: April 2022

A new model of automation of technological systems, based on the Internet, was defined as the concept of Industry 4.0, Germany in 2011. It represents an advanced model of connecting machines and computers (cyber-physical systems - CPS), their networking (cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT)) with the widespread use of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) in this concept. This concept is a model of smart manufacturing (SM), and today we are talking about: smart vehicles, smart highways, smart grids, smart cities, smart services, etc ... - in short, intelligent "everything and anything" (smart everything). The most important directions for Serbia in the application of Industry 4.0 include: industrial policy for Industry 4.0, education for Industry 4.0 (higher / secondary education), research for Industry 4.0, and especially applied research and readiness of SMEs for Industry 4.0, as well as the application of this model in practice. This paper presents the development and application of the Industry 4.0 model in Serbia, through the activities of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Belgrade, from 2015 until today, with special reference to the application of Industry 4.0 in mining.

This paper studies the readiness of the Serbian telco operators and other stakeholders to implement a crowd-based open innovation business model. Telco companies are facing challenges in terms of market demands and with finding new opportunities to attract subscribers with innovative products and services. These innovations are frequently oriented towards smart city services based on emerging technologies such as Internet of things, cloud computing, software defined networks and blockchain. Due to complexity, pace and costs of research and development, telco operators have already recognized the need to shift from a traditional to an open innovation concept. The development of crowdsourcing models has further fueled the possibility to include customers in the open innovation process, in order to better design and develop services suited to their own needs. With this in mind, the goal of this paper is to propose a crowd-based open innovation business model for improvement of innovation capacities of Serbian telco operators. The proposed model is used as the basis of evaluating the readiness of internal and external stakeholders for participation in open innovation projects. The study is based on the adjusted value-based adoption model, while the analysis is performed using the PLS-SEM method. The results show that participants identify trust as the most influential factor for the perceived value of crowd-based open innovation, while the internal stakeholders of telco companies find expected income and reputation as the most relevant. Both groups have shown a high interest in innovations related to smart city services such as smart traffic and ecology-related services.
The preparation of a non-combat operation as a key element of the success of the engagement of the River Flotilla in the operation of assisting civil authorities during floods

Published: April 2022

The River Flotilla (RF), as an integral part of the Army, is one of the inevitable subjects of the protection and rescue of the population, environment and material goods during floods. The emergencies declared due to the threat of water overflow from river bed require the use of some equipment such as ships, boats, amphibious and other types of vessels. Due to their main purpose, manoeuvrability, capacity and specificity of the environment in which they are used (rivers, lakes, canals, etc.), the successful engagement of the protection and rescue forces during the execution of various types of non-combat activities in a flooded area is inconceivable. However, the success of a flood relief operation depends not only on the equipment used in carrying out tasks, but also on many challenges such as: how to select and organize adequate protection and rescue forces, how to bring forces to a flood-affected area, how to organize their logistic support and how to establish successful coordination with civil authorities in an affected area. In this regard, and through the analysis of the existing doctrinal solutions, the key elements of the successful engagement of the RF during floods have been generated in the form of preparation of operation, command in operation, cooperation and coordination, noncombat activities and logistic support to operation. The paper proposes solutions related to the phase of preparation of operation as one of the key elements of the success of the engagement of the RF in assisting civil authorities during floods.

Published: April 2022

The high-strength low-alloy steel S1100QL is used in the most demanding mechanical engineering applications. Typical structures made of this steel are hydraulically extendable pallet cranes in mobile lifting machinery, which require high strength-to-weight ratio. The high yield strength and toughness of S1100QL steel is achieved through proper chemical composition, hot rolling, and heat treatment. Those factors also have a strong effect on the weldability of this steel: the welded joint should have the properties required by EN ISO 15614-1. In this paper, the main properties of the S1100QL steel are shown. In addition, WPQR was performed on a 15 mm thick plate using the GMAW process. Analysed properties such as tensile test, impact toughness, hardness and microstructure are compared to the requirements of the international standards from the field of arc welding.

Characterization of Pulsed GMAW including recording of dynamic characteristic and heat input calculation
Authors: Hodžić Belmin , Tasić Petar , Hajro Ismar
Published: April 2022

In GMAW welding, there are several types of metal transfer that are primarily determined by the primary welding parameters. Different metal transfers in an electric arc are characteristic of different applications. In this paper, a detailed characterization of the pulse transfer of metals in an electric arc is performed, including the characterization of parameters and criteria for their selection on the used power source for welding Welbee. For a given Welbee device, the choice of parameters in steel welding is shown, as well as the synergy function that is characteristic of these devices. Welding was performed on structural steels, with previously adopted parameters, accompanied by recording the dynamic characteristics of current and voltage with an oscilloscope. Based on the available literature sources, the existing models for heat input calculation in GMAW pulse welding were analysed in detail. Heat input calculation for welded steel sheets was performed by using one of them, with current and voltage profiles recorded with an oscilloscope. After the experiment, the obtained results were elaborated, and general comments were given regarding influence of parameters on the quality of welded joints.

Authors: Mustaffa Zurina , Hussin Zaharah , Abdul Muhsein Sulaiman
Published: April 2022

This article discusses a new teaching approach that is in line with the latest education that focuses on student -centered learning. This approach to teaching Differentiated Instruction is in line with Imam Ibn Sahnun's thinking on the importance of teacher teaching that focuses on student learning style and justice to all students regardless of their level of ability and capability in the classroom. This approach is an appropriate paradigm shift in responding to the call of the Ministry of Education Malaysia in fulfilling the objectives of the Malaysian Education Development Plan 2013- 2025 which is to close the achievement gap among students and the expectations of the Ministry of Education Malaysia in the release letter number 14 of 2018 which states teacher evaluation to pupils are holistic (Ministry of Education Malaysia, 2018). Differentiated Instruction is a relevant teaching method and suitable for use in teaching because it has a teaching aspect that involves all students without differentiating between students whether the students have excellent, moderate, or poor level of learning mastery. This article focuses on the philosophy of Differentiated Instruction which emphasizes on the learning style of students and also the thinking of Imam Ibn Sahnun who emphasizes on the teaching of teachers who should give justice to all students regardless of the background of students and so on and should be the method of teaching Differentiated Instruction very appropriately used in teaching to diverse pupils.
