LISTY DO…? Franz Kafka i demony korespondencji
Authors: Mojsak Kajetan
Published: November 2021

Tekst porusza problematykę związaną z monologicznymi i wirtualnymi aspek­tami epistolografii intymnej na przykładzie listów Franza Kafki do Felicji Bauer i Mileny Jesenskiej. To przykład wyjątkowo samozwrotnej korespondencji, która nie uzupełnia, ale w pełni zajmuje miejsce bezpośredniego kontaktu, a przy tym służy jako przedpole działal­ności literackiej. Kwestie te, interpretowane między innymi w perspektywie lacanowskiej, w nawiązaniu do książki Vincenta Kaufmanna, prowadzą do pytania o to, czy list byłoby szczególnie „perwersyjną” wersją powstrzymywania dialogu na rzecz wsłuchiwania się we własny, autorski głos (jak rzecz interpretuje Kaufmann), czy raczej modelem wszelkiej komu­nikacji. Tekst przywołuje również radykalną krytykę, jakiej pisarz poddał swoje wcześniejsze zaufanie pokładane w listach, i rozważa „demoniczne” aspekty korespondencji, o których pisze Kafka, w kategoriach wirtualności/monologiczności/zapośredniczenia i gry projekcji.

LETTERS TO…? Franz Kafka and the Demons of Correspondence

The article discusses issues connected with monological and virtual aspects of intimate epistolography on the basis of letters written by Franz Kafka to Felice Bauer and Milena Jesenska. It is an example of particularly self-reflexive correspondence which does not supplement but fully replaces direct contact and at the same time serves as the fore­ground of literary activity. The above issues, interpreted among others from the Lacanian perspective with reference to the book by Vincent Kaufmann, lead us to ask the question of whether letters are a particularly “perverse” version of interrupting dialogue in order to listen to the author’s inward voice (as argued by Kaufmann) or rather the model of any kind of communication. The text also points out the radically critical attitude of the writer towards the trust he had earlier put in letters and discusses the “demonic” aspects of correspondence mentioned by Kafka in terms of virtuality/monologicality/mediation and game of projection.

L’étude porte sur la caractérisation physico-chimique des matières premières argileuses de la carrière de Thicky. Nous avons fait une étude géotechnique, minéralogique, chimique et microscopique de la latérite et de l’argile de Thicky. Les résultats de l’analyse granulométrique de nos matières premières indiquent que l'argile de Thicky est composée principalement d'une fraction de 45% d'argile, 47% de limon et 8 % de sable. La latérite est composée de 8% d'argile, 20 % de limon et 72% de sable. L’analyse minéralogique par diffraction des rayons X (DRX) révèle que notre argile est constituée principalement de quartz (Q), de kaolinite (K), d’illite (I) et de calcite (C) alors que la latérite est constituée de quartz (Q), de kaolinite (K), d’hématite (H) et de calcite (C). Les résultats de la composition chimique montrent que les oxydes les plus abondants dans nos deux matières premières sont SiO2, Al2O3 et Fe2O3 alors que K2O, CaO, MgO, Na2O, TiO2 et P2O5 ne sont présents qu'en petites quantités. La spectroscopie infrarouge révèle la présence des bandes d’absorption relativement larges localisées vers 3500 cm-1 qui sont liées à des phyllosilicates tels que la kaolinite ou l’illite. L’observation microscopique des échantillons d’argile et de latérite montre que la texture est relativement compacte, formée de plusieurs feuillets plans superposés avec un désordre turbostratique.

Several factors can attenuate radio signal between transmitting and receiving antenna. One can cite: vegetation, atmospheric gases, fog, water vapor, transmission instruments, rain, temperature, etc... The sources of attenuation differ according to the climate and the relief of each continent or even each country. In this work we aim to show that there is link between microwave signal attenuation and weather visibility in the presence of dust. Weather visibility is a very important factor for the safety of road, sea, rail and air transportation. In the presence of dust, the visibility is strongly reduced and there is also a strong attenuation of the microwave signal propagating between two antennas. By performing a linear regression on the attenuation-visibility scatter plot, we propose a method for real-time estimation of the visibility knowing the microwave signals attenuation. A correlation measurement between the visibility estimated by our method from the real attenuation data of the mobile phone operator Telecel Faso SA (Burkina Faso) and the visibility measured by the National Meteorological Agency of Burkina Faso (ANAM) gave a correlation coefficient of 0.86.

Nous avons étudié la faisabilité technique de la valorisation des déchets papiers/cartons pour la fabrication des briquettes combustibles. L’objectif de cette étude est de contribuer à la valorisation matière de la filière déchets ménagers, précisément celle des déchets papiers/cartons. Pour l’aspect technique, l’étude a été faite sur l’impact de la gomme arabique et la mélasse sur la qualité des briquettes à travers l’analyse de leurs caractéristiques physiques (indice de résistance l’impact, taux de relaxation, densité) et thermiques (taux d’humidité, taux de matières volatiles, taux de cendre, taux de carbone fixe, pouvoir calorifique inferieur) pour connaître les briquettes de meilleure qualité. La pression de compactage était à 60bars. Ces analyses nous ont permis de mettre en évidence trois types de briquettes de bonne qualité. Il s’agit de celles issues des mélanges avec la gomme arabique (50% de déchets papiers et 50% de gomme arabique), celles issues des mélanges avec la mélasse (50% de déchets papiers et 50% de mélasse) et celles issues exclusivement des déchets papiers compactés directement avec l’eau (50% de déchets papiers et 50% d’eau). Toutes les briquettes produites à partir du papier ont un Pouvoir Calorifique Inférieur de l’ordre de 14 MJ/kg quel que soit le mélange papiers/cartons-liant testé ; avec cependant un PCI plus élevé pour les briquettes contant de la mélasse comme liant. Les résultats obtenus lors de nos travaux nous permettent de conclure que la mélasse est le meilleur liant pour la cohérence des briquettes, pour une faible masse volumique des briquettes ; aussi elle permet d’avoir un meilleur IRI des briquettes, et leur assure une meilleure durabilité. Concernant les briquettes elles-mêmes, on peut affirmer que les briquettes fabriquées avec l’eau présentent un faible taux d’humidité par rapport à celles fabriquées avec la gomme arabique et la mélasse, tandis que les briquettes fabriquées avec la gomme arabique possède un plus faible taux de matières volatiles. Pour finir, d’autres résultats nous montrent un taux de cendre qui varie très peu pour les briquettes fabriquées avec la mélasse et un taux de carbone fixe élevé dans celles conçues avec de l’eau.

The development of renewable energies is today essential to be able to respond in a sustainably way to the growing energy needs on a global scale, as well as to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions responsible for global warming. Among these energies, photovoltaic technology, which converts light power of the sun (renewable source) into electric power, is a major player in the energy transition. However, there is now a need to develop efficient, competitive and less polluting photovoltaic technologies, allowing more energy to be produced at a lower cost. The Pb (Zn1/3 Nb2/3) O3 (PZN) relaxor and its solid solutions with ferroelectric PbTiO3 (PT) are of considerable interest both from the applications point of view and from the scientific point of view. In the past, numerous attempts have been made to prepare and study the properties of these materials in the form of thin layers for photovoltaic applications. However, due to the difficulties in preparing pure phase films with a high PZN content, there is very little knowledge of the properties of these materials. The objective of this work is to prepare PZN-4.5PT nanoparticle thin films, to study in detail their morphological and optical properties. The studies were carried out in three main directions: preparation of thin layers (PZN-PT) by deposit of spin coating, and characterize for optical and morphological properties (SEM). UV-visible measurements allowed us to have reflectance of less than 30% after deposit a thin layer PZN-4.5PT doped 1% Mn and undoped for a 70 at 80% absorption in UV-Visible-NIR.
What’s so important about CLIL anyway?
Authors: Lazarević Nina
Published: November 2021

After doing two 56-hour long seminars in 2018 and 2019 with grammar school teachers in Niš, I realised that there was not much of relevant literature, activity or practice books that science teachers teaching in English could use. While there is some substantial literature for CLIL in English language classes, there is much less support for particular natural science subjects in the local teaching context. Therefore, the material from those workshops is here systematised and organised around several areas that transpired as the most important for teachers. One important point is that this is not a textbook on the English language, or English language practice nor is it an activity book for any specific subject taught in English. The main focus here is on how to activate content knowledge in a subject while using a foreign language, as well as how to organise instruction so that learners benefit from a CLIL class.
Flüchtlingsintegration und Fachkräftemigration: Welche Rolle spielen Hochschulen?
Authors: Morris-Lange Simon , Lokhande Mohini
Published: November 2021

Die Analyse der Integra-Projekte zeigt, dass Geflüchtete beim Berufseinstieg vor sehr ähnlichen Hürden stehen wie ihre internationalen Mitstudierenden, die keine Fluchterfahrung aufweisen. Auch sie kämpfen mit sprachlichen Hürden, fehlender Praxiserfahrung, zurückhaltenden Betrieben und Schwierigkeiten beim Schreiben von Bewerbungen oder in Vorstellungsgesprächen. Die Hürden auf dem Weg in den Arbeitsmarkt sind also zunächst die gleichen. Unterschiede ergeben sich aus dem Bedarf nach zusätzlicher individueller Beratung und Betreuung, welcher i. d. R. vor allem bei Geflüchteten entsteht. Neben ihrer Fluchterfahrung erfordern ihre teils unsichere Bleibeperspektive und ihre unterbrochene Bildungsbiografie mehr Unterstützung seitens des Hochschulpersonals, z. B. beim Hochschulzugang und gegebenenfalls bei der Weitervermittlung an psychologische Dienste. Deutlich anders gelagert sind die Herausforderungen für die Teilnehmenden in den PROFI-Projekten. Ihnen geht es nicht um eine allgemeine Arbeitsmarktvorbereitung, sondern um eine gezielte Weiterbildung. Sie benötigen ein Lernangebot, das zeitlich komprimiert und präzise abgestimmt ist auf die konkreten Anforderungen in einzelnen Zielberufen und -branchen. Daher erhoffen sie sich von den Hochschulen ein möglichst passgenaues und zeitlich begrenztes Bildungsangebot, das ihnen dabei hilft, die sprachlichen, fachlichen und technischen Erfordernisse in ihrem Wunschberuf möglichst schnell zu erfüllen. Da es sich hierbei nicht nur um Einstiegsstellen handelt, sind die Ansprüche der Betriebe und der Teilnehmenden selbst meist höher als bei frisch Graduierten.

The numerical simulations of negative corona discharge in Trichel pulse mode are carried out with the calculation of evolution of azimuthal perturbations. It is found the azimuthal instability with increment corresponding to avalanche development. This instability is suppressed at the nonlinear stage and does not lead to the process branching. The result is also applicable to the azimuthal instability of the cathode directed streamer, found earlier. The difference in their increments is followed from the difference in courses of the processess, which is discuss.
El cambio curricular desde la práctica educativa: diálogo de saberes e investigación en el aula
Authors: Escobar Baños Juan Carlos
Published: November 2021

OBJETIVO: analizar las tradiciones curriculares como referentes teóricos del docente-investigador en la dinámica de evaluar el currículum desde las prácticas educativas. MÉTODO: se utilizó el método analítico-sintético en el abordaje de las categorías pedagógicas en el estudio de las teorías del currículum. Además, se precisó de la modelación para examinar la figura del docente-investigador en los procesos de reconstrucción y toma de decisiones; lo que permitió sistematizar el modelo de evaluación como alternativa para actualizar planes de estudio. RESULTADOS: la mayor fortaleza de la figura del docente-investigador es la toma de decisiones en la transformación del currículum, revitalizando el debate público y científico en la producción de conocimiento. Su debilidad se encuentra en la práctica reiterativa de la enseñanza técnica-ritual, centrada en el saber hacer, sin asumir un papel protagónico; lo que conlleva a la negación del diálogo de saberes y la investigación en el aula. CONCLUSIÓN: cambiar el diseño curricular desde las prácticas educativas es posible si se gesta en comunidades autorreflexivas del trabajo de los docentes universitarios, dada la perspectiva de reconstruir las competencias interdisciplinarias de los estudiantes en sus prácticas profesionales.

Published: November 2021

The adoption of cloud computing (CC) by individuals and banking institutions garnered little attention. The goal of this study is to examine the factors that influence the adoption of CC by Libyan private bank personnel. According to the findings, employees' behavioral intention (BI) to adopt CC is significantly influenced by individual elements (performance expectation (PE), effort expectation (EE), social influence (SI), attitude (AT), and IT knowledge (ITK), among others. User happiness with cloud computing has been proposed to moderate the impact of individual elements on BI (SaaS). A total of 309 Libyan bank workers were randomly selected to participate in the study. Analyses of Moment Structures were used in the study (AMOS). The findings of the study show that the BI's use of CC is influenced by a variety of personal circumstances. It was partially mediated by satisfaction in BI's decision to employ CC. Employees at private banks will be more likely to use CC if they focus on their own needs.

Authors: Hikimatu Zakariah , Mustafa Alhasan , Agoke William
Published: November 2021

Purpose: This study investigates the difficulties the health care service providers encounter in the quest of rendering preconception counselling services in Ghana.

Methodology: The study employed descriptive survey design with the use of both qualitative and quantitative research approaches using questionnaire as the main tool. The study employed simple random sampling to sampled 135 out of 675 health care service providers from 23 health facilities in the Bole District of the Savanna Region in Ghana. The quantitative data obtained for the study was analysed using Statistical Package for Social Solution (SPSS) whilst the qualitative data were subjected to descriptive and narrative discussion.

Findings: The study revealed that, health care practitioners need continuous training programme. It also became clear that, there no any clear national guideline or policy on preconception counselling in Ghana. It came to light that, the healthcare service providers face a lot of difficulties to capture women of child bearing age to offer them the services. Inadequate knowledge and expertise to effectively offer the preconception counselling services was also identified as a challenge.

Recommendations: The study therefore recommend that the Ministry of Health and Ghana Health Service should come out with a clear policy guideline on preconception counselling and also provide an intensive training for the health care professionals. The health care providers should also be provided with the needed resources to embark on sensitisation and advocacy campaigns to create the awareness for women of childbearing age to appreciate the need for preconception and genetic carrier risk counselling.

A utilização de aço industrializado é um dos sistemas que mais contribuiu para a expansão da industrialização na construção civil. Com essa alternativa, as peças são entregues prontas no canteiro de obras, de modo que os processos para a sua elaboração são dispensados nesse espaço. Sua receptividade por incorporadoras experientes é grande, pois reconhecem a viabilidade econômica dessa opção. Contudo, para que o processo realmente apresente vantagens concretas, é preciso tomar alguns cuidados, tais como, elaborar o projeto estrutural da obra para que se tenha cálculo da quantidade, tipo e especificação técnica das ferragens. Com isso, este trabalho tem por objetivo destacar as vantagens da utilização da ferragem armada industrializada em comparação com o método tradicional, montado “in loco”, assim como os cuidados necessários para usufruir de todos os benefícios dessa terceirização. Além de demonstrar o seu processo produtivo realizado em uma indústria de corte e dobra de aço. Este estudo se caracteriza como pesquisa bibliográfica do tipo exploratória e descritiva, onde é feita a descrição do processo produtivo da ferragem armada, desde a produção do aço até a ferragem cortada, dobrada e armada. Além de fazer uma análise das vantagens da utilização desse tipo de ferragem.

Depression is seen as an emerging mental challenge in the lives of various people. Nowadays it is also becoming one of the major reasons for mental disability across the world. Depression has manifested itself as a silent killer and according to statistics it has affected more than 300 million people in United States of America majorly affecting individuals in the age group of 15 to 44 yrs. According to a study by World Health Organization, the effects of depression have been dangerous in life, it is seen causing threatening diseases like cancer, diabetic issues or even heart disease. However, the problem that mainly is associated with the disease of depression is that it is not treated as a disease. Where the common understanding of the word “Disease” is any medical ailment that require doctor’s attention or quick medical response, depression on the other hand, even after qualifying as a disease is hidden in societal barriers to appear for a proper treatment. People whose lifestyle pattern has been intruded by depression either do not avail proper medical attention or are too shy to appear in the masses for proper attention on their physical as well as condition. Our motivation here is to investigate through the phenomenon of depression and predict whether an individual is having symptoms of depression by accessing his/her voice sample. In order to establish a link between depression and voice features, we obtain a large data set and then train a model accordingly by applying machine learning methods on it. This model when given a voice sample can now predict, whether a particular subject is depressed or not, to a nearby accurate measure.

Published: November 2021

Noise pollution affects day-to-day life both mentally and physically. Hence, it’s a growing problem in every major city of the world. Many diseases have been proven to be associated directly with rise in noise level. To combat the noise level government agencies have laid down certain guidelines which suggest noise level in different location to be in prescribed limits. These noise limits is different for different land-use pattern and also different for different timings also. Daytime generally experiences more noise level than night time in almost all the locations. In present study, noise level of a particular day of 24 hr is taken from 26 locations. These noise levels are used to construct noise map in ArcGIS for Delhi for both daytime ad night time. These noise maps are used to present a comparative study of noise pollution between daytime and night time. Research Study suggest that in the daytime most of the area of Delhi experiences 55-60 dB noise level while in the night time it is experienced that most of the location in Delhi, noise level is 50-55 dB.
Energy Absorption Capacity Of Rat-Trap Bond Masonry Under Base Excitation
Authors:   Head of Department, Department of civil Engineering, Woliata Sodo University, Ethiopia., Juta Eshetu Mathewos
Published: November 2021

Brick masonry does not exhibit much capacity to resist lateral loads and hence the masonry suffers heavy damage during earthquakes, which impart lateral loads to structures. In the Bhuj earthquake of Jan 26, 2001, that occurred in majority of masonry structures failed because they were built with un-reinforced brick masonry. The EBC code of practice for brick masonry, suggests the use of lintel band and roof band that introduce a rigid box-type behavior which will help the structure to improve its performance against seismic loads. But there are no Codal provisions for use of Rat-Trap bond masonry which has been found to possess good seismic resistance characteristics. Rat-Trap bond system consists of an array of headers and stretchers with bricks laid vertically on the edge to form a cavity within a set of two headers and two stretchers. In this investigation, an attempt has been made to study the behavior of un-reinforced Rat-Trap bond masonry of two categories viz., (i) with roof slab, and (ii) without roof slab. Shock-table tests on one-third scale masonry building models ( with and without roof slabs ) were carried out to study the behavior. The peak accelerations were recorded for each shock. The scaled bricks were obtained by cutting locally available bricks using special tools. The size of the masonry models was 2m x 1m x 1m. The amount of energy imparted during each shock was measured before total collapse both for Rat-Trap bond masonry models with and without roof slabs. The results of the tests revealed that the roof weight plays an important role in the design of Rat-Trap masonry systems subject to seismic loads.

Cloud computing is a computing strategy that provides services hosted on the Internet to its users/customers. It refers to the computer solutions that are distributed. The cloud allows data to be stored and provides remote access to any work-related data. Enables easy access to cloud computing services at a low cost. Data protection and privacy protection are two major confusions about cloud technology. Various methods have been followed to make data security in the cloud reliable. A two-way DNA encryption algorithm (BDEA) is one such data protection technique. However, the current technology ignores the non-English user of cloud computing and focuses only on the ASCII script. This proposed work focuses on improving BDEA. To increase the security and confidentiality of data in the cloud environment, DNA sequences are used for encryption programs with Morse code. Using Morse code makes it very difficult for an intruder to steal the original data. Theoretical and experimental results show the efficiency of the algorithm, It is also an indication that it can be used in a variety of applications such as security, banking, and medical purposes. The future job is to encrypt color images and videos to upload to the cloud.

Published: November 2021

The prime mechanisms for the alteration or reshaping of common somatic gene cells into malignant tumor gene cells are transgenic or oncogene activation and tumor-suppresser gene cell dismission. Cancer genetic cells are the propulsion of growing and expansion. On the other side, they are incapable of developing them self. The wen microhabitat is thought of plays an extra energetic role in Wen improvement than merely existing as a bystander. Wen Cells dexterously enroll connective tissue cells. Through several walkways, which then supply Wen Cells with improved Signs, median metabolites, and a favorable environment for tumor expansion and metastasis.

Published: November 2021

Background: To evaluate the normative values of corneal endothelial cell parameters within a group of healthy young Egyptian adults using specular microscopy and to examine any correlations between endothelial parameters and refractive or biometric parameters.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, specular microscopy was used to study the right eyes of 150 healthy young volunteers and evaluated endothelial cell parameters, including cellular density, hexagonality (HEX), and coefficient of variation (CV) at 15 different points on the back corneal surface, which were later grouped into the central zone and either four quadrants or three annular zones. The same eyes underwent refractive and biometric assessments.Results: Hundred fifty healthy adults were examined, and the age ranged from 20 to 30 years, with a median of 23 (interquartile range, 21?27) years. The mean ± standard deviation of central cell density was 2902.7 ± 270.7 cells/mm2. The superior paracentral area had the lowest mean density (2895.8 cells/mm2), but the highest mean HEX (67.7%), while the inferior peripheral area had the highest mean density (3100.5 cells/ mm2) but the lowest mean HEX (64%). The difference in cell density among the three annular zones was not statistically significant (P = 0.365). However, HEX and CV in the central and paracentral zones differed statistically significantly from those of the peripheral zone (P < 0.001 and P = 0.014, respectively). Weak but non-significant correlations were detected between endothelial cell density and all measured refractive and biometric parameters.Conclusions: The findings of this study provided useful normative biometric and specular data in a specific age group and a specific population, and could be useful in planning intraocular surgery in young Egyptian adults. However, future longitudinal studies with a larger sample could refine more endothelial cell parameter specifications over time.

TERMENELE DE PRESCRIPȚIE ÎN CONTRACTELE DE VÂNZARE INTERNAȚIONALĂ DE MĂRFURI
Authors: Gribincea Lilia
Published: November 2021

Scopul adoptării Convenţiei asupra prescripţiei în materie de vânzare internaţională de mărfuri, încheiată la New York la 14 iunie 1974 a fost de a înlătura dificultăţile apărute, datorită reglementărilor naţionale diferite în materia prescripţiei. În legislaţiile naţionale există diferenţe considerabile în ceea ce priveşte construcţia juridică şi clasificarea prescripţiei, începutul şi durata termenelor de prescripţie, precum şi efectele prescripţiei. În sistemul common law prescripţia este tratată ca o problemă de procedură, iar în dreptul continental prescripţia este considerată ca o instituţie de fond. O altă problemă constă în diferenţele foarte mari din legislaţiile naţionale referitoare la termenele de prescripţie. Unele termene sunt foarte scurte, de exemplu şase luni sau un an, iar alte termene sunt extrem de lungi, care, în unele cazuri ajung şi până la treizeci de ani. Prin adoptarea Protocolului de modificare a Convenţiei asupra prescripţiei în materie de vânzare internaţională de mărfuri se asigură armonizarea necesară a reglementărilor privind prescripţia cu cele ale Convenţiei Naţiunilor Unite asupra contractelor de vânzare internaţională de mărfuri de la Viena din 11 aprilie 1980.

Эпилепсия считается одним из самых распространенных заболеваний, занимая третье место после заболеваний сердца и онкологических заболеваний. По данным одних авторов, распространенность эпилепсии составляет до 1% среди популяции населения[Kale R., 2002, Dupont S. ,2018, Babtain F.A.,2012], другие же считают, что её распространенность превышает 1-3% [Карлов В.А., 2003, 2004, 2006, 2011, Karceski S., Morrell M.J., Carpenter D., 2005, Ali A., 2018, Angus-Leppan H, Shankar R, Cock H. 2018]. Эпилепсия также является распространенным заболеванием в Западной Европе, где регистрируется более 6 млн. больных с этим недугом [Зенков Л.Р., 2001, 2007, Kälviäinen R., Straus S., Dogne J.M., Bakchine S., 2018, Bjørk M., Riedel B., Spigset O.,2018]. Особое значение в распространенности эпилепсии относят к эпилепсии среди женщин фертильного возраста, которые составляют 25% в общей популяции среди населения [Жидкова И.А., 2012, Bosak M., Słowik A., Kacorzyk R., Turaj W. ,2019].
