A simulative approach to obtain higher temperatures during spark plasma sintering of ZrB2 ceramics by geometry optimization
Authors: Sakkaki Milad , Naderi Mohsen , Vajdi Mohammad , Sadegh Moghanlou Farhad , Tarlani Beris Ali
Published: December 2023

This study provides a detailed analysis of the Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) process for Zirconium Diboride (ZrB2) ceramics, utilizing the finite element method in COMSOL Multiphysics. The focus is on understanding the temperature distribution during the SPS of a ZrB2 sample in a graphite die. Heat diffusion equations, augmented with Joule heating considerations, are utilized to simulate temperature variations within the system over time. Critical boundary conditions at the system's extremities are modeled as convection cooling. The Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) reveals that the diameter of the sample is the most significant factor influencing the peak temperature at the center of the ZrB2 sample. It is found that the sample diameter's variance accounts for a predominant impact on temperature, markedly more than other factors such as the die's outer diameter and sample thickness. Notably, the standard deviation of the temperature in the axial direction across all samples is less than 4 °C, a value that is statistically minor in comparison to the sintering temperatures, which are around 2000 °C. These findings are instrumental in providing an in-depth understanding of the SPS process, which is essential for the optimization of sintering parameters for ZrB2 ceramics.
«Ingen visste hvor jeg var»
Authors: Svendby Rannveig Beito
Published: December 2023

Denne autoetnografien diskuterer en situasjon som oppsto på et feltarbeid i Norge, der jeg opplevde å være i fare i rollen som forsker. Først i det øyeblikket gikk det opp for meg at jeg ikke hadde tatt noen forholdsregler for å ivareta min egen sikkerhet i felt. Det skjedde selv om de øvrige deltagernes sikkerhet var grundig diskutert og hensyntatt gjennom en rekke tiltak i studien, som var motivert av kulturelt responsiv, relasjonell, refleksiv etikk. I artikkelen drøfter jeg mulige konsekvenser av manglende oppmerksomhet i etiske retningslinjer og forskningspraksis rettet mot forskeres sikkerhet i felt. Jeg argumenterer for at veiledere har et etisk ansvar for å støtte uerfarne forskere i en refleksiv prosess om risikoen ved å delta i feltarbeid – samt å ta forholdsregler for å minimere risiko i den grad det er mulig for å unngå at forskere utsettes for fare.

Published: December 2023

Thise current study aimed to investigate the impacts and sensory properties of replacing gelatin in Turkish delight with starch and dried date powder (DDP) for the development of new products. Nine different concentrations of fluid mucilage were used: Sample 1 (90% gelatin + 10% starch); Sample 2 (90% gelatin + 5% starch + 5% DDP); Sample 3 (85% gelatin + 10% starch + 5% DDP); Sample 4 (80% gelatin + 20% starch); Sample 5 (80% gelatin + 10% starch + 10% DDP); Sample 6 (75% gelatin + 20% starch + 5% DDP; 70% gelatin + 30% starch); Sample 7 (70% gelatin + 15% starch + 15% DDP); and Sample 8 (65% gelatin + 30% starch + 5% DDP) in addition to a control sample (Sample 9, 100% gelatin). Consistency, texture, and tenderness of all samples (gel and water activities; aw) were evaluated in terms of taste, aftertaste, and overall acceptability. The sensory panelists’ scores of collected data showed significant differences between all measured parameters for all compared to with the control sample, but the best products were with samples with added (DDP) at low levels. In conclusion, replacing gelatin with starch and (DDP) should be at low levels.
Foodborne disease in Brazil from 2015 to 2021: an exploratory study

Published: December 2023

For food to be considered healthy, among other aspects, it must be free of contamination that could lead to the development of foodborne diseases (FBDs). The hygienic and sanitary aspects of food consumed by the population as well as its incorrect handling procedures can cause FBDs. Many contaminated foods seem to have normal sensory characteristics, without changes in texture, flavor, and odor, so often those who consume it do not have the perception and understanding that food that appears to be perfect visibly brings risk internally when consumed, which can cause an FBD. Given these considerations, this study aimed to characterize, report, and quantify the occurrence of outbreaks of FBD affected in the North, Northeast, Midwest, Southeast, and South regions of Brazil between 2015 and 2021 using as a source of data those notified via the Data Sheet Research in the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN). A total of 60,907 cases of food poisoning were recorded across the country due to FBD outbreaks, resulting in 71 fatalities. While the highest number of cases of foodborne outbreaks occurred in the southeast, the highest number of fatalities from FBD occurred in the north of the country. The highest percentage of FBD outbreaks occurred in homes (probably due to the period of the COVID-19 pandemic), although the causative food and the responsible microorganism remained unknown. In this way, it is possible to perceive that in addition to the underreporting that may exist and has already been reported by other articles on the subject, the numbers reported in the Brazilian health system may also demonstrate a lack of investigation into the cause of FBD.
Will ChatGPT’s Free Language Editing Service Level the Playing Field in Science Communication?: Insights from a Collaborative Project with Non-native English Scholars
Authors: Lingard Lorelei , Chandritilake Madawa , De Heer Merel , Klasen Jennifer , Maulina Fury , Olmos-Vega Francisco , St-Onge Christina
Published: December 2023

ChatGPT has been widely heralded as a way to level the playing field in scientific communication through its free language editing service. However, such claims lack systematic evidence. A writing scholar (LL) and six non-native English scholars researching health professions education collaborated on this Writer’s Craft to fill this gap. Our overarching aim was to provide experiential evidence about ChatGPT’s performance as a language editor and writing coach. We implemented three cycles of a systematic procedure, describing how we developed our prompts, selected text for editing, incrementally prompted to refine ChatGPT’s responses, and analyzed the quality of its language edits and explanations. From this experience, we offer five insights, and we conclude that the optimism about ChatGPT’s capacity to level the playing field for non-native English writers should be tempered.
In the writer’s craft section we offer simple tips to improve your writing in one of three areas: Energy, Clarity and Persuasiveness. Each entry focuses on a key writing feature or strategy, illustrates how it commonly goes wrong, teaches the grammatical underpinnings necessary to understand it and offers suggestions to wield it effectively.

Published: December 2023

Objetivo: Avaliar a associação entre idade na primeira consulta odontológica e o tipo de tratamento dentário realizado em pacientes infantis por meio de um estudo transversal que avaliou registros em prontuários odontológicos. Métodos: A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de prontuários de pacientes de 0-5 anos atendidos em uma Clínica Escola de Odontologia, de março de 2014 a julho de 2018, com registro de informações referentes às características dos participantes e procedimentos odontológicos realizados. Para a análise dos dados, foram calculadas medidas descritivas e posteriormente os dados foram ajustados em um modelo de regressão logística; o desfecho foi o tipo de procedimento realizado, dicotomizado em tratamentos não-invasivos (fluorterapia e/ou restauração) e invasivos (endodontia e/ou exodontia). Resultados: Foram avaliados prontuários de 210 crianças, com média de idade na primeira consulta de 38 meses (DP=14,5). Fluorterpia e/ou restauração foram realizados em 74,8% das crianças, enquanto tratamentos invasivos foram realizados em 25,2% da amostra. A análise ajustada indicou um incremento (OR = 1,03, p = 0,027) na chance de realização de tratamentos invasivos com o aumento da idade das crianças na primeira consulta odontológica. Conclusão: Quanto maior a idade das crianças na primeira consulta, maior a chance de terem recebido um tratamento invasivo. Ressalta-se a importância da consulta odontológica nos primeiros meses de vida, com a finalidade de prevenção e manutenção da saúde bucal.

Authors: Dolphine Atieno Ondiek  , Benson Charles Odongo  , Fred Odindo Osena
Published: December 2023

Early childhood education is the foundation of basic education in Kenya. However, the low academic performance of early childhood teacher trainees in Kenya has raised concerns among the education stakeholders. The study assessed the relationship between training facilities and academic performance among trainees in pre-primary teacher training colleges in Kisumu County. Constructivism Theory of learning was used to guide the study. The concurrent triangulation design. Target population was 23 registered pre-primary teacher training colleges in Kisumu County comprising of 1150 teacher trainees. Simple random, saturated and purposive sampling was used to obtain a sample size of 345 teacher trainees, 7 Sub county pre-primary coordinators, and 23 college programs officers respectively, making a sample size of 375. Questionnaire was used to collect data from teacher trainees, while interview schedule was used to collect data from programme officers and sub county pre-primary coordinators. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze quantitative data while thematic analysis was used to analyze qualitative data. Thus, it has been shown that availability of training facilities significantly influences academic performance of learners including pre-school teacher trainees. The study therefore recommends that both the national and county governments should put aside enough financial resources for revamping and furnishing the preschool colleges with the appropriate teaching facilities.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the obstacles to the full implementation of the National Workers' Health Policy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An integrative literature review was carried out using the following databases: Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), Medical Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE) and Nursing Database (BDENF). The inclusion criteria were: complete articles, in Portuguese, with no restriction on the years of publication and which met the study' s objective. The exclusion criteria were: articles that were repeated across platforms, incomplete, theses, dissertations, book chapters and that did not address the theme. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Five studies were selected for the final sample. These showed that there are training and structural factors that prevent the national policy from being fully implemented. It was found that workers' health actions are not well structured and there is little connection with the Workers' Health Reference Center and other health services, weakening workers' health care. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: There are visible problems in the policy itself, ranging from training to structural issues, and it is important to review the policy so that it can be considered comprehensive.
¿Cambiar lo que vemos, o alterar la mirada? Intervenciones urbanas efímeras en Lima en el siglo XXI
Authors: Mejía-Ticona Víctor
Published: December 2023

El artículo analiza el arte efímero en espacios públicos en Lima, Perú, en el siglo XXI, contexto marcado por la violencia terrorista de décadas previas, la alteración del concepto de lo público, la recuperación macroeconómica y la crisis política e institucional del Estado. Se estudian cinco obras promovidas desde la institucionalidad o desde fuera de ella, estas son clasificables como arte contemporáneo y hacen uso del espacio público y la imagen arquitectónica. Desde un análisis comparativo, este texto estudia los acercamientos entre la arquitectura, el urbanismo y el arte efímero, y en qué medida estas disciplinas pueden consolidar un intercambio de aportes. Las conclusiones reflexionan acerca del impacto de estos trabajos artísticos en un rango amplio y diverso de la población, a diferencia de galerías y museos. Se evalúan sus aportes a la sociedad y a la ciudad, especialmente, sus mensajes de contenido crítico y reflexivo a través de la arquitectura.

Este artículo surge del proyecto de investigación “Cohabitar” que examina la vivienda construida por el Instituto deCrédito Territorial (ICT) en el Caribe colombiano. El estudio tiene como objetivo analizar el proceso de crecimiento habitacional a partir del modelo de vivienda progresiva en los barrios La Granja y P5 de Montería. Se utiliza el análisis documental y el levantamiento científico para restituir gráficamente las etapas del modelo constructivo, y revelar la existencia de un sistema habitacional progresivo abierto, previamente diseñado, que aporta flexibilidad en la distribución de los espacios y en la ocupación del terreno. El estudio destaca el núcleo-base como elemento clave para la capacidad de adaptación de las viviendas a las dinámicas ambientales y a las necesidades de uso, así como la importancia de la participación ciudadana en el diseño de la vivienda progresiva como un elemento innovador en el enfoque de diseño social, ya que puede aportar experiencias valiosas para futuros modelos de vivienda sostenible.
Circuito Longitudinal Norte-Sur de Chancay-Perú
Authors: Santillana-Ciriani Enrique
Published: December 2023

Chancay es una ciudad intermedia de la costa central del Perú, ubicada al norte de Lima. La actual construcción del megapuerto está transformándola en una ‘ciudad global’, que será la puerta de comercio entre Sudamérica y Asia. Por ello, Chancay requiere, con urgencia, poner en marcha una planificación urbana que promueva iniciativas públicas y privadas; así como la ejecución de proyectos de diseño urbano que disminuyan el deterioro actual de su estructura. En tal sentido, como parte del Plan de Desarrollo Urbano del distrito de Chancay (PDU 2017-2027), se proyectó el Circuito Longitudinal Norte-Sur, elaborado por el estudio ESARQUITECTURA para la Municipalidad Distrital de Chancay, el cual es presentado en el artículo. Las intervenciones del circuito están basadas en propuestas de regeneración y recuperación de espacios públicos que, además, implican ‘una ruta’ para futuros proyectos que deberán convertir a Chancay en una ciudad puerto habitable, inclusiva, ordenada y segura.
Domesticidades aumentadas. Hacia una arquitectura no-tipológica
Authors: Pitarch-Alonso Pedro
Published: December 2023

Este artículo estudia el fenómeno de la ‘domesticidad aumentada’ como prisma contextual que abarca dos realidades simétricas: el urbanismo doméstico y la domesticidad urbana. Partiendo de un análisis crítico de las consecuencias de la crisis global del COVID-19, se identifican los crecientes procesos de urbanización de lo doméstico y de domesticación de lo urbano. Se propone una revisión del concepto de tipología para plantear su actualización, fundamentada en la pérdida de dependencia entre forma y función. La metodología empleada analiza dos espacios concretos de la esfera doméstica, la sala de estar y la cocina, ejemplificando el papel crucial que han desempeñado las nuevas tecnologías en la difusión de los límites entre lo doméstico y lo urbano. Con ello se pretende probar el surgimiento de una posible ‘arquitectura no-tipológica’ que ofreciese un modelo menos dependiente exclusivamente de la composición formal, que se vería complementada con la herramienta de la ‘puesta en escena’.

Authors: Dália Paulino Raissa , Fernandes Rodrigues Ana Paula , Cavalcanti de Moraes Ionete , Silva Correia Lindalva
Published: December 2023

Este artigo apresenta como objetivo geral realizar uma Revisão Sistemática de Literatura (RSL) acadêmica sobre a Espiritualidade no Trabalho, mais especificamente no Brasil, nos últimos 10 anos, por meio do protocolo PRISMA. Os artigos foram coletados em três bases de dados: Portal CAPES, SCIELO e SPELL, com a observação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão. Como resultado da RSL sobre a espiritualidade no trabalho foram selecionados e avaliados 2 (dois) estudos. Os dois estudos mostraram que os trabalhadores têm percepção sobre a espiritualidade no trabalho, contudo houve uma variação sobre a ordem de maior média nas suas dimensões: trabalho com significado, alinhamento do indivíduo com os valores da organização e sentido de comunidade. Sobre as limitações desta RSL sobre a espiritualidade no trabalho, deve-se levar em contar que os critérios de inclusão estabelecidos para este artigo tiveram como foco ‘pesquisas com os trabalhadores em organizações no Brasil nos últimos 10 anos’.

The Effects of Stimulus and Consumer Characteristics on the Utilization of Nutrition Information and Purchase Intention
Authors: Putri Ersheilla Andanawarih , Alif Muhammad Gunawan
Published: December 2023

This research study investigates the effect of stimulus and consumer characteristics on the utilization of nutrition information. Details of stimulus in this research study are negative arousal consequence information (paired 3 levels: high, low, control) and reference information (with and without information on Recommended Dietary Allowance or RDA). Meanwhile, details for consumer characteristics are nutrient familiarity (familiar, unfamiliar), and preventive orientation (high, low). The measurements of utilization of nutrition information are through the motivation to process, ability to process, and purchasing intention. This quantitative research employs 3x2x2 experimental design. Based on the data of 353 respondents, the findings showed that the variables affecting motivation to process are consequence information, nutrient familiarity, and preventive orientation. In contrast, preventive did not affect the purchasing intention. This study can predict the best strategy of nutrition information that makes people utilize the knowledge and attract them regarding their purchasing intention. This will not only help policy makers design legal polices that promote health but will also help corporations develop products that better match consumers’ desire for healthy food.
Measuring the Impacts of Self Efficacy and Perceived Health Benefits toward Smoking Cessation of e-Cigarettes
Authors: Dewi Berlinda Devi Liliyana
Published: December 2023

Smoking is one of the most preventable causes of disease and death, including cancer. This study aimed to investigate whether perceived health benefits and self-efficacy affects e-smoking cessation. The method used in this research is quantitative using an online survey started in November 2020. From 50 distributed questionnaires using Google Form link, only 34 responses are valid. The results reveal that self-efficacy, not perceived health benefits, had a significant influence on intention to quit smoking. This study extends our understanding of this relationship by highlighting the non-significant result in the health benefits–smoking cessation linkage.
Sobre la Forma en el Derecho Administrativo
Authors: Rodríguez Jaime
Published: December 2023

Desde la Teoría del Derecho se puede afirmar que toda relación social necesita para su constitución una forma jurídica. A lo largo del tiempo, el binomio materia-forma se ha entendido de muy diferentes maneras: unas veces se ha valorado especialmente la forma en detrimento de la materia, y en otras ha prevalecido la materia sobre la forma. En la presente investigación se parte de un equilibrio entre ambas maneras de entender la realidad para poner de manifiesto y comprender la importancia de la materia y la forma en el Derecho, especialmente en el Derecho Administrativo, para lo que es preciso trabajar desde el pensamiento complementario y compatible.

Contaminación enteroparasitaria en perillas de puertas, en un liceo de Barquisimeto, Venezuela
Authors: Traviezo Valles Luis Eduardo , Aguirre Marchan Michael
Published: December 2023

Introducción: la ausencia de estudios en perillas de puertas como vectores pasivos en la transmisión de parásitos entéricos en Venezuela y particularmente en el estado Lara, motivó el presente estudio. Metodología: se examinaron las perillas de 20 puertas, para cada puerta se frotó la perilla interna y externa tres veces (cada una) con un hisopo estéril impregnado con solución salina isotónica 0,85% (SSI), resuspendiéndolo en un tubo con 5 ml de SSI, el cual se centrifugó a 3000 rpm por 10 minutos, para luego separar el sobrenadante e inmediatamente montar el sedimento entre lámina y laminilla (SSI y lugol) para seguidamente observar al microscopio. Resultados: el 80% de las muestras analizadas estuvieron contaminadas, consiguiendo 13 taxones de enteroparásitos, a saber: Endolimax nana (70% del total de muestras examinadas), Blastocystis sp (50%), Giardia lamblia (20%), Cryptosporidium sp (20%), Entamoeba histolytica/E. dispar (10%), Entamoeba coli (10%), Chilomastix mesnili (5%), Entamoeba hartmanni (5%), Iodamoeba butschlii (5%), Cystoisospora belli (5%), Ascaris lumbricoides (15%), Hymenolepis nana (5%) y Trichuris trichiura (5%). Discusión: la diversidad enteroparasitaria observada y su abundancia, se corresponden con lo reportado en estudios de prevalencia parasitaria humana del estado Lara, igualmente se relaciona con contaminaciones señaladas en billetes, intercomunicadores y pasamanos en Barquisimeto. Conclusión: la ausencia del correcto y frecuente aseo en las perillas, favorece potencialmente la transmisión de enteroparásitos en miembros de esta comunidad educativa, lo cual quizás, se podría extrapolar a otras instituciones en condiciones parecidas.

Visualizing researchers’ scientific contributions with radar plot
Authors:   Centre for Interdisciplinary Social Research, Phenikaa University, Ho Manh-Toan
Published: December 2023

The essay advocates for diverse approaches in presenting a researcher's scientific contributions in a project. Taking inspiration from sports journalism and its visualization of football players' data, the essay suggests that a radar plot, incorporating CRediT contributor role data, enables multiple authors of a scientific paper to illustrate their contributions in a more specific manner. The suggested method, though subject to bias reporting, pays credit to different aspects of a research project, from conceptualization, analysis, administration, to writing and revising. It not only enables both academics and lay readers to better understand the considerable amount of work required in every project but also calls for the need to employ diverse viewpoints in science.
Scientific Theories and Their Psychological Corollaries: The Ecological Crisis as a Case Study in the Need for Synthesis
Authors:   World Tree Center for Evolutionary Politics and Global Survival, Schroder Arnold
Published: December 2023

That policy makers will ever rationally respond to scientific warnings about the ecological crisis should be treated as a falsifiable hypothesis. After more than five decades of such warnings, there is a strong case for skepticism. Climate and other ecological tipping points constitute the quantitative thresholds beyond which current political systems can definitively be said to have failed. This presents a mandate to generate broad consensus on where tipping points lie, and at what proximity to them new strategies should be pursued. Central to any new strategy should be an understanding of why the old one failed—an understanding of why those in power almost exclusively derive from academic backgrounds other than physical science, and the psychological differences between those who issued or received so many warnings of collapse. To that end, a psychological trait syndrome relevant to political power is proposed, based on correlations between academic specialization, psychometric results, and the behavior of powerful people across a wide range of societies. This proposed syndrome consists of four covarying dimensions of individual difference. These are perceptions of hierarchy vs. egalitarianism, established knowledge vs. open inquiry, physical vs. symbolic action, and schematic vs. particular knowledge.

Authors: Lei Tong , Phakdeephirot Nutteera
Published: December 2023

Educational attainment has been recognized by a wide range of scholars as being significantly related to fertility intentions, which gradually decline as educational attainment rises. In this study, we analyzed the factors affecting the fertility intentions of 401 highly educated young people of childbearing age aged 22-30 with bachelor's degree or above in China through a questionnaire survey and interviews with a random sample of young people of childbearing age with bachelor's degree or above in China. The results show that: fertility intention is significantly correlated with all the factors in this study, and can show a certain upward trend influenced by the current economic conditions, the reduction of damage to childbearing, government welfare policies, partner's willingness and support, and the impact on life and career. The study shows that traditional attitudes and other people's willingness have a lower impact on the highly educated people. Improving the level of available medical technology, reducing the risk of fertility among highly educated young people of childbearing age, increasing partner approval and support, and strengthening the supporting measures for fertility packages are the keys to increasing fertility intentions.

Should We Abolish The Minimum Wage?
Authors: Huang Jianxun
Published: December 2023

The discussion on minimum wage is a long-standing debate in economics. The fundamental objective of a NMW is to assist individuals who are remunerated at a low wage that yields below average living standards. To mitigate poverty, the government enacts laws that compel companies to compensate their employees at a wage that surpasses the equilibrium free market price for labour. On the other hand, an increase in the national minimum wage may also lead to an increase in the social unemployment rate. This essay will examine and critically evaluate the merits and drawbacks of NMW policies, and conclude that governments should not abolish the minimum wage altogether.

Types and Methods of Assessing the Value of Intellectual Property Pledge Financing
Authors: Dong Xinyi
Published: December 2023

China has a large stock of intellectual properties and a strong capacity for indirect financing. In the process of shifting from factor inputs supporting high economic growth to technological innovation contributing to high-quality economic development, intellectual property pledge financing plays an extremely important role. Moreover, as a new financing channel, intellectual property pledge financing can effectively alleviate the financial pressure on the development of small and medium-sized enterprises. Additionally, intellectual property pledge financing can also help promote the transformation of knowledge achievements and alleviate the financial problems of enterprises to a certain extent. Although China's intellectual property pledge financing has seen rapid development in recent years, there is still a large gap compared to the number of intellectual properties and the financing needs of enterprises. This is mainly attributed to the easy depreciation of intellectual properties, instability of rights, and other characteristics, which cause difficulties in assessing the value of intellectual property pledge financing and aggravates the risk and difficulty of intellectual property pledge financing. Therefore, how to scientifically assess the value of intellectual properties for the purpose of pledge financing has become an issue worthy of in-depth study and exploration at this stage.
