In this paper, the results of the study of photoelectric properties of silicon with binary compounds GexSi1-x are presented. The selection of the impurity atom of germanium for introduction into silicon was justified by the fact that those impurities have unlimited solubility and, depending on the technological modes of diffusion, can be located in the nodes or between the nodes of the crystal lattice of silicon. A high solubility of germanium atoms in silicon allows the formation of GexSi1-x compounds on the surface and near the surface of silicon. To obtain silicon doped with impurity atoms of germanium, the original monocrystalline silicon of the KEF-100 brand was used. Doping of impurity atoms of germanium into silicon was carried out according to the developed low-temperature two-stage diffusion technology. The results of the studies allowed to determine the thermodynamic conditions (Т = 1100÷1250°С and t = 5÷20 h) and technological modes of low-temperature two-stage diffusion of impurity atoms of germanium, which made it possible to obtain a material with binary compounds GexSi1-x on the surface and near-surface of silicon with given electrophysical parameters. From the results of the study of the concentration distribution of the formed binary compounds GexSi1-x in silicon, it was established that compounds with the maximum concentration were formed on the surface, and their concentration decreased with depth into the volume of silicon. From the spectrum of the X-ray energy dispersive microanalysis, it was established that the compounds GexSi1-x formed in silicon lead to a change in the forbidden zone width of the original material. It is shown that the change in the forbidden zone width of the original silicon due to the formation of binary compounds GexSi1-x changes one of the fundamental parameters of the material, which, in turn, leads to an expansion of the spectral region of sensitivity, which is typical in the development of efficient photocells with a wide range of solar radiation absorption.

Hint Alt Kıtası’nda Tarih Yazıcılığı
Authors: Macit Abdulkadir
Published: December 2024

Müslümanlar, tarih yazıcılığında kendi özgünlüklerinin yanı sıra Hicaz, Suriye, Mısır, Mağrib, Endülüs, Irak, İran, Sind ve Mâverâünnehir gibi kadim medeniyet havzalarında var olan birikimi tevarüs etmişlerdir. Tarih yazıcılığını daha sistemli ve metodolojik bir hale getirmişler ve çok çeşitli türler oluşturmuşlardır. Özgünlük ve tevarüsü ahenkli bir şekilde birleştiren Müslümanların VII.-X. asırlarda teşekkül eden tarih yazıcılığı bu süre zarfında Hint Alt Kıtası ile sıkı bir irtibat halinde olmuştur. Ancak kıtaya asıl etkisini ve katkısını, tarih yazıcılığında gelişimini sürdürdüğü XI.-XVIII. asırlarda göstermiştir. Söz konusu dönemde Gazneli, Delhi Sultanlığı ve Bâbürlü devletleri Hindistan’da siyasî hâkimiyet kurmuşlardır. Zikredilen devletler bir metodoloji geliştirmiş ve gelişimini tamamlamış Müslüman tarih yazıcılığını bölgeye aktararak Hindistan’da tarihyazımı faaliyetlerine çağ atlatmışlardır. Zira Hindistan’a özgü döngüsel, mistik, mitolojik, bozulmaya ve mistifikasyona dayalı olan tarih yazıcılığı, Müslümanların geliştirdiği metodoloji ve oluşturduğu model ile değişmiş ve gelişmiştir. Bu bağlamda Arap ve Fars lisanları ile kıtada büyük bir lisanî zenginlik oluşturmuşlar; siyer, megâzî, genel ve özel tarihler, şehir ve bölge tarihleri şeklinde dört ana tür üzerinden çeşitlilik sağlamışlardır. Netice itibariyle Hint Alt Kıtası’ndaki tarih yazıcılığı Müslümanların tarih yazıcılığındaki güçlü katkısı ve etkisi ile büyük bir gelişim göstermiştir. Bu çalışma Hint Alt Kıtası’nda Müslümanların tarih yazıcılığı sürecini derinlikli bir şekilde ele almaktadır. Bu konular üç büyük hanedanlık, dokuz yerel sultanlık ve özellikle İngilizlerin Doğu Hindistan Şirketi ile başlayan ancak devlet sömürgesi olarak devam eden faaliyetleri dikkate alınarak dört yüzü aşan tarih kaynağı üzerinden müzakere edilmiştir. Çalışmanın temel önemi Hint Alt Kıtası’nda tarih yazıcılığında Müslümanların özellikle XIX. asra kadar gelişim gösteren güçlü katkısını ve etkisini bütünlüklü bir şekilde ortaya koyma adımını atmasıdır. Çalışmanın amacı ise ülkemizde sürekli gelişim gösteren Hint Alt Kıtası çalışmalarına yönelik ilgiyi daha da güçlendirmek ve tarih yazıcılığı alanındaki devasa mirası gün yüzüne çıkarma girişiminde bulunmasıdır.

Laying hens are used as an option in raising livestock because it is felt that the chicken can produce eggs in sufficient quantities in a fast time. The first egg is produced at the age of 6 months and will continue to produce eggs until it reaches 2 years old. With a total egg production between 250 to 280 eggs per year. Proper management in laying hens farming is crucial to achieve maximum production results. This community service activity is an educational mentoring program aimed at the younger generation to increase their knowledge and understanding of laying hen farming, starting from chick management, feed and drinking water management, housing, disease control, and egg handling. The activity took place at the Pialun poultry farm in Mendawai Village, West Kotawaringin Regency, with 7 participants. The implementation method began with a socialization session on laying hen farming in the first session, followed by the second session, which involved interviews with field assistants regarding management practices and skills in laying hen farming.
The implications of COVID-19 on mental health: Addressing the global mental health challenges
Authors: Omidoyin Samuel
Published: December 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated global mental health challenges, necessitating a concerted response to address its profound impact. Mental health literacy and resilience are crucial in navigating the surge in depression, anxiety, and Long COVID-related neurological symptoms. Central to this effort is bolstering individuals’ sense of coherence (SOC), promoting coping strategies and social support networks. Task-shifting in mental health care offers a pragmatic solution to expanding services, particularly in resource-constrained settings. By redistributing tasks among health workforce teams, task-shifting optimizes available resources and enhances care delivery. Leveraging digital technologies and scalable public health interventions is essential in bridging gaps in mental health care provision globally. As the pandemic persists, prioritizing mental health alongside physical health is paramount to building resilient communities and mitigating its enduring impact.
The Model of the Nervous System’s Role In Heredity and Evolution
Authors: Vrca Anđelko
Published: December 2024

The paper explores profound questions regarding the origin of matter, energy, and life, delving into the transformation processes that define our universe. It outlines the established conversions of matter to energy, such as through nuclear fusion and fission, while raising critical inquiries about the reverse process: the transformation of energy into matter—a scientific challenge exemplified by ongoing research at the European atomic center. Despite claims of success, the author emphasizes persisting uncertainties regarding the creation of stable matter from energy. Furthermore, it examines the principles of evolution and the emergence of life, proposing a novel perspective that challenges the traditional understanding of random genetic mutations. It argues that the evolution of new traits requires a complex interplay between genetic material and environmental cues, facilitated by the organism’s nervous system. This model posits that information gathered through sensory experiences may influence hereditary material, leading to inherited traits that evolve through intentional adaptations rather than sheer chance. Additionally, the text critiques classical Darwinism for failing to address the mechanisms behind trait emergence, advocating for a view that recognizes an intrinsic order in evolutionary processes. Ultimately, the manuscript calls for a deeper understanding of the principles governing transformation in the universe, positioning life as an expression of a self-regulating system where complexity and creativity coexist. This comprehensive discussion not only interrogates the current paradigms of biology and evolution but also evokes a broader contemplation of life’s origins and the essential questions that drive scientific inquiry.
Study of the heat treatment effect of medium-temperature electrode pitch on carbonisate yield
Authors: Kovalev Rodion
Published: December 2024

Coal tar pitch is a residue of coal tar separation. It is widely used as a binder in the production of electrodes and anode mass. The production of pectic carbonisates and the development of methods to increase the value of its yield is of scientific and applied interest. The author conducted experiments on heat treatment in oxidising medium of medium-temperature electrode pitch of category BsTmelt = 71.5 °C (AO Altai-Koks, Russia). We conducted the process of heat treatment of the pitch in a 5.6 litre reactor heated by using an integrated electric heating system. To enhance the increase of Tmelt during heat treatment, we pumped the gas phase products from the reactor to a collection tank where they condensed. We performed heat treatment at T > 400 °C using both thermal oxidation of pitch and pumping of distillates. We formed the oxidising environment by supplying air by a compressor to the molten pitch. The air supply process started after the holding temperature was reached. The temperature controller provided the holding temperature. The author determined the yield of thermo-oxidation products, melting temperatures Tmelt, and volatile yields X for the resulting products. We obtained pitch with Tmelt = 140 °C and 158 °C. However, this heat treatment significantly reduced the yield of volatile substances in the final products. The temperature of carbonisation of heat-treated pitch was T = 650 °C and T = 850 °C. Therefore, research determines the carbonisate yields. Moreover, carbonisation proceeds with the additional holding times at 450 °C and 650 °C. Hence, heat treatment increased the carbonisate yield by 10%. Holding times at 450 °C and 650 °C also quantitatively increased the yield of carbonisate.
Interaction of N,N´-substituted diimides of binaphthylhexacarboxylic acid with sodium dithionite in aqueous-alkaline acid solution
Authors: Polenov Yuriy , Egorova Elena
Published: December 2024

The article presents the details about the interaction of a number of N,N´-substituted diimides of binaphthylhexacarboxylic acid (cubogenes) with sodium dithionite. The reaction takes place in the formation of perylene dyes in the technology of dyeing and printing of cotton fabrics. The authors found that there is a rapid formation of intermediate products - tetraanions of initial compounds due to the transfer of two electrons from dithionite anions in the initial stage of the reaction. Subsequently, these intermediates can be transformed into the initial dianions by oxidation either by air oxygen or by sulfite formed by dithionite at the first stage. Also, a parallel chemical stage of cyclisation with the formation of perylene derivatives is possible depending on the nature of substituents at nitrogen atoms in the initial diimide molecules. The occurrence of a reversible redox stage of tetraanion formation confirmed electrochemically on a carbon-titanium electrode. The elemental analysis of IR and electronic absorption spectroscopy show the formation of perylene derivatives. The authors proposed a general stoichiometric reaction mechanism for the interaction reactions of cubogens having different substituents at nitrogen atoms with sodium dithionite on the basis of the experimental data. The results are applicable in the practice of finishing textile materials with cubogenes and in liquid-phase preparation of thin-layer photoactive materials based on perylene derivatives.
A Dynamic Analysis of Pricing and Investment in Circular Economy with Learning-By-doing
Authors: Zhang Ru
Published: December 2024

In this paper, we explore the optimal control problem of a monopolist's pricing and recycling investment strategies under learning-by-doing within a circular economy. The model incorporates both virgin and recycled resources in production, and accounts for the accumulation of knowledge through recycling activities. We show that: (i) the monopolist's recycling investment and pricing strategies evolve over time as a result of learning-by-doing, leading to operational efficiency gains; (ii) the monopolist's private incentives for recycling are lower than the social optimum, resulting in an underinvestment problem; (iii) the gap between private and social incentives highlights the need for regulatory interventions to promote sustainable recycling practices. Our analysis identifies the existence of a steady-state equilibrium and examines how knowledge accumulation dynamically influences the firm's cost structure and pricing strategies. The findings offer valuable insights into the long-term interactions between pricing, recycling investments, and sustainability objectives in a monopolistic market, with broader implications for the promotion of a circular economy.
Qualifying the ‘Social Disconnectedness’ at the Core of Right-Wing Populism
Authors: De Oliver Miguel
Published: December 2024

That a comparatively heightened sense of social disconnectedness characterizes the core of right-wing populism in the US is a matter of record. But such terms as ‘social disconnectedness’, ‘alienation’, and even ‘loneliness’ are large unwieldy terms with multiple causes and multiple expressions effecting broad demographic swathes and classes of citizens with ‘mental health issues’; these terms in general usage make it difficult to analytically apply them to specific phenomena like the belligerent form of social disconnection currently embedded within the core of right-wing populism. The term ‘social disconnectedness’ is in need of a measure of dissection. This paper shows that the social disconnection at the core of right-wing populism manifests some distinguishing features of excessive and problematic individuation that have coalesced into a coherent social phenomenon (to be called ‘emporia’). This paper extricates this psychopathy from the expansive and nebulous reference in general discourse that is ‘social disconnectedness’.

Authors: Borodavkin A.Y. , Zakharov A.A. , Kazakov A.Y.
Published: December 2024

The aim of the research is to develop a cyclist’s posture technique, aimed at optimizing pressure distribution on the bicycle and reducing discomfort by adopting an individualized approach to adjusting seat height, tilt angle, and saddle size based on individual anthropometric characteristics.
The model dynamic characteristics obtained during the study can be used as an element of the system for evaluating cyclist seating technique. The statistically significant decrease (t = 4.43 at p < 0.05) in pressure in the soft tissues of the pelvis by 192.5 mbar, as well as the significant increase (t = 6.71 at p < 0.05) in pressure in the area of the seat bones by 690.6 mbar in the experimental group, unequivocally indicate a shift in pressure. This shift in pressure demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed cyclist seating training technology.
The shift of pressure to the area of seat bones, achieved through seating optimization, significantly improved the subjective perception and comfort of seating. Thus, the hypothesis was confirmed: an individualized approach to adjusting seat height, tilt angle, and saddle selection based on individual anthropometric characteristics is effective and yields positive results.
PRINCIPLES OF GOOD GOVERNANCE IN ARMENIAN SPORTS: CURRENT STATUS
Authors: Kyureghyan A. A. , Avetisyan A.V.
Published: December 2024

This research is objectively required as Armenia is a member of the Council of Europe, and the recommendations of the latter are applicable thereof including but not limited to sports industry. This is crucial as these recommendations have aim at achieving uniformity within the framework of the Council of Europe for proper functioning of the same fields (objects) of recommendations. Nevertheless, there is prima facie evidence, that the sports industry in Armenia has flows in following the principles of good governance (PGG), which will be laid down below.
The goal of the research is to identify current problems and propose a technique for measuring Principles of Good Governance (PGG) to find solutions.
Based on the research results, it is evident that there is no legal framework binding SGBs to comply with transparency requirements as defined by PGG. This lack of regulation leads to insufficient public information, making it difficult for researchers to assess SGBs' compliance with PGG principles. To address this, a new tailored law is needed to ensure that SGBs maintain a required level of transparency and accountability, backed by sanctions for non-compliance. Such a law would provide a focal point for evaluating and improving the governance of SGBs, initiating a cycle of action and feedback within the sports industry.
The lack of publicized information prevents stakeholders from assessing compliance with key criteria such as accountability, ethical conduct, and sound financial management. Transparency fosters public interest, which is crucial for monetizing sports and developing professional sports in Armenia. By enhancing transparency and accountability, the sports industry can engage more effectively with stakeholders and promote the growth of professional sports through increased public and financial support.
New Radiocarbon Dating from Late Bronze and Iron Age Gezer and Its Implications
Authors: Webster Lyndelle C. , Wolff Samuel R. , Ortiz Steven M.
Published: December 2024

The recent publication of a substantial radiocarbon (14C) dataset and Bayesian chronological model for Tel Gezer between the thirteenth and ninth centuries BCE has raised considerable interest, since this site is among the largest Bronze and Iron Age cities of south-central Israel and historically well attested in Egyptian, biblical, and Assyrian sources. The dates came from short-lived organic materials in the Tandy excavation area on the southern edge of the mound, where a continuous occupation sequence was uncovered. The article in PLoS ONE showed that the radiocarbon results have substantial implications for assessing the feasibility of various proposed connections between certain strata and events described in textual sources, or wider archaeological phenomena. This essay is a summary of the main outcomes of the newly published 14C research. There is no doubt that the new dataset puts a valuable new piece of evidence on the table for a wide range of issues.

Published: December 2024

This research examined the effects of Turkish banking risks on investor behavior. this context, the period of nine deposit banks covering the period between 2008:Q3-2019:Q3 was analyzed using panel regression estimators. Researchers found that systemic and systematic risks negatively affected investor sentiment in the real sector. The rise in systemic and market risks of banks has led to an increase in investor pessimism. The findings showed that the real sector confidence index can be used as an effective early warning system for financial instability. It has shown that banking sector risks have the potential to spread to the entire economy through real sector investment behavior. The results revealed that stock returns positively affect real-sector investment behavior. Accordingly, positive developments in the stock markets encouraged the real-sector to invest. In the research, the effects of selected macro variables on investor sentiment were analyzed. The forecast results documented that inflation rates, the current account balance, and the VIX uncertainty index negatively affected real-sector investor behavior. On the contrary, it was determined that the effect of the MSCI Europe index on investor sentiment was positive.

Çalışmamızda toplumsal bellek ve kültür bağlamında önemli olan masal ve söylenceler hakkında bilgiler vermeye çalışacağız. Masal ve mitolojik söylencelerde yasağın ele alınmasını ve özellikle yasağı çiğneyen cinsiyetin kadın olarak söz konusu edilmesine değinerek bunlara bazı örnekler vereceğiz. Bu bağlamda Grimm Kardeşler hakkında kısa bilgi vererek yaşadıkları dönemde yani Romantizm döneminde sözlü olarak anlatılan masalları köy köy kasaba kasaba dolaşarak kaleme almaları önemlidir. Özellikle masal denilince ilk akla gelen Alman Jacob ve Wilhelm Grimm kardeşlerin masalları gelir. Bu bağlamda Grimm Kardeşler hakkında kısa bilgi vererek yaşadıkları dönemde yani Romantizm döneminde sözlü olarak anlatılan masalları köy köy kasaba kasaba dolaşarak kaleme aldıkları Çocuk ve Ev Masalları adlı çalışmalarındaki Külkedisi masalını inceleyeceğiz. Aynı zamanda Romalı şair Lucius Apuleius’un Metamorfoz adlı eserinde ele aldığı Amor ve Psyche (Aşk ve Ruh) söylencesini ele alacağız. Rus masal araştırmacısı Vladimir Propp’un masallar için belirlediği otuz bir maddenin birkaçını Külkedisi masalında tespit etmeye çalışacağız. Öncelikle hem Külkedisi masalını hem de Amor ve Psyche söylencesini kısaca anlatacağız. Bu bağlamda ele aldığımız çalışmada mitolojik söylencelere, masallara göndermelerde bulunarak ortak paydalara ve farklılıklara değineceğiz.
Amor ve Psyche söylencesi ile Külkedisi masalının ortak paydalarının yoğun bir şekilde benzerlik gösterdiğini ortaya sunarken bunların neler olduğunu tespit edeceğiz. Özellikle merak ve yasağı çiğneme bağlamında ele aldığımız çalışmalarımız dışında Orpheus ve Euridiyke gibi söylencelerden ve Pamuk Prenses gibi masallardan örnekler vereceğiz. Hem söylenceler hem de masallar insanoğlunun tarihi kadar eski olduğunu söyleyebiliriz ve bu bağlamda da merak ve itaatsizlik insanlığın cennetten kovulmasına salık vermiştir. Bundan dolayı çalışmamızda merak ve itaatsizliğin nelere yol açabileceğini inceleyeceğimiz masal ve söylenceden yola çıkarak ortaya koymaya çalışacağız. Hem masallarda hem de söylencelerde ortak motiflerin- izleklerin varsa farklılıkları araştırırken büyülü bir yolculuğa çıkıp bunları çalışmamızda göstereceğiz. Hem örnek verdiğimiz masallarda hem de söylencelerde kahramanlar kendi kararlarının ve itaatsizliklerinin sonuçlarıyla yüzleşmek zorunda kalışlarına ve kendi seçimlerinin ve eylemlerinin getirdiği olumsuzluklarla başa çıkma sürecinde de nasıl zorlu sınav ve yolculuklar ile karşılaştıklarını tespit edeceğiz.

From 1968 to 1972/ the renowned Lithuanian photographer Vitas Luckus created the Pantomime series, which differed in style from modernist (approaches popular at that time. This series introduced a new way of expression to the photographic medium, which included some qualities of performance for the Vitas and Tania at the Kaunas Botanical Gardens, c. 1975- Photo: Valentinas Ivinskas camera. This innovative approach emphasized the viewer's role in creating the work's meaning, which resulted in the local expansion of a visual language through photography. This photographic series results from a collaboration that presents dynamic scenes performed by the Kaunas pantomime troupe that was established and directed by the renowned mime Modris Tenisons. Tenisons developed productions that differed from the ordinary entertainment genre of pantomime and referred to a more complex social theme in the troupe's performances. While the value of these works was recognized as a part of the development of art photography in the region, the level of performance- like action in the production of these artworks broadly remains underestimated. Key words: photography, performance art, Vitas Luckus, Kaunas pantomime troupe, Baltic art.

Published: December 2024

Nursing Process is a proven means of standardizing patients` care and maintaining the autonomy of the nursing profession. It is considered globally as a standard tool which gives nurses opportunity of caring for patients in a scientific, holistic, and flexible way (1, 2). If nursing process is utilized properly, it enables nurses to offer independent care to patient (2), However, certain hospital-related factors are thought to influence nurses` implementation of the nursing process (3). To assess Nurses` perspective on the effect of certain Hospital-related factors on implementation of the Nursing Process in Chuka level 5 Hospital in Kenya. A cross-sectional survey done at Chuka level 5 hospital in Kenya. Study population were nurses working in Chuka hospital. Simple random sampling was used to get 30 nurses to make the study sample. Questionnaires were employed for data collection. Data summary was done using descriptive statistics and presented in tables. Study participants` mean age was 37.2 (±9.3) with majority being females (46.7% (n=14)), married (76.7% (n=23)), and with diploma qualification (56.7 % (n=17)). The majority of the study participants felt that status of a number of hospital related factors that play critical part in implementation of the nursing process were inadequate with staffing, resources availability leading in the inadequate verdict by over 70% of the study participants. Majority (80%) of the participants felt that the nurse-patient ratio was negatively influencing their ability to implement the nursing process. However, they were more or less equally divided on their perception as to whether each of the remaining factors were influencing their utilization of the nursing process either positively or negatively. The study participants reported the presence of inadequacy of hospital-related factors which negatively impacted on their implementation of the nursing process. Hospital management should prioritize the implementation of the nursing process by allocating adequate resources and proving active leadership on the same, as it is key in the delivery of quality nursing care.

Published: December 2024

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neuro-developmental disorder the rate of which has escalated to a global concern. Caring for a child with ASD is associated with a myriad of challenges for parents, who often lack support and practical assistance. However, there is paucity of research on the experiences of parents caring for children with ASD in Eswatini. Therefore, this study describes the lived experiences of parents caring for children and adolescents with ASD in Eswatini. Ten parents caring for children and adolescents with ASD were purposively sampled and engaged in in-depth individual interviews. Data were subjected to content analysis to uncover parents’ lived experiences. Findings revealed that providing care to children and adolescents with ASD was challenging to parents, who usually had neither the knowledge of what they were dealing with, nor the resources for caregiving. In addition, the journey to the diagnosis of ASD tended to be long and anxiety-laden. On a positive note, parents viewed the caring experience as their portion from God; and therefore, appreciated their children as gifts from God deserving of love. Although they appreciated some degree of support from within the family and from outside the family, parents expressed a dire for financial and welfare, educational, and health care support. Caring for a child/adolescent with ASD is a 24 hours-a-day and 7-days-a-week journey, characterized by daily frustrations and a yearning for instrumental and emotional support. Parents need empowerment through programme and policy in order that they can fulfil the demands of caregiving.

This study explores the impact of parenting styles, grounded in the Health Belief Model (HBM), on the personal hygiene practices of school-aged children in the Bangka region of Indonesia. Personal hygiene is critical for preventing diseases, particularly in children aged 6-12, who are at higher risk of exposure to disease-causing environments such as schools. Using a cross-sectional design, the study collected data from 80 parents and children through validated questionnaires, examining how different parenting styles—authoritarian, permissive, and democratic—affect children’s hygiene habits. The results indicate a strong correlation between parenting style and children's hygiene practices, with authoritarian parenting being the most prevalent (40%) and showing the highest adherence to hygiene routines. Additionally, the study found a significant positive relationship between parents' awareness of hygiene-related health risks and their children’s hygiene behaviors. The findings suggest that parental engagement and health beliefs play a crucial role in shaping children’s hygiene habits. These results have important implications for public health policies and parental education programs, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions that improve parental health literacy and promote balanced parenting styles to ensure long-term hygiene habits in children. The study calls for further research into culturally appropriate educational strategies that support parental involvement in promoting child health in regions with high incidences of hygiene-related diseases.
‘Culturally, straight hair was promoted’: Black and Mixed-Race Ugandan women’s self-perceptions of their natural hair
Authors: Kayser Ssanyu
Published: December 2024

Previous research, while limited in scope, has been instrumental in highlighting the unique experiences and relationships Black women have with their hair. This research often highlights the influence of Euro American beauty standards and negative experiences associated with concepts of ‘bad hair’ and ‘good hair.’ However, very few studies have attempted to investigate non-Euro American perspectives on Black women and their hair. To address this gap, I interviewed five Ugandan Black and mixed-race Black women using qualitative narrative analysis methods. While each participant shared distinct narratives in their interviews, their accounts are also found to be interconnected. Particularly, narratives collectively revealed a shared theme of internalised oppressive beliefs, including preferences for straight and long hair indicative of Euro American beauty standards. Additionally, participants consistently noted the lack of adequate media representation for hair types common among Ugandan women. Overall, this study contributes to the expanding body of literature on Black women and their hair by focusing on Ugandan women and capturing lived experiences that are more representative of Black women globally. Notably, this study sheds light on the influence of Uganda’s colonial history on prevailing beauty standards among women in the country.
Behavior of Normal Reinforced Concrete Two-Way Slabs with Openings: A Review
Authors: Hassan Mohammed , Abdullah Wrya
Published: December 2024

The structural performance of two-way reinforced concrete slabs is significantly influenced by the presence of openings, which are frequently required for functional elements like staircases, lift shafts, and utility ducts. These apertures diminish slab stiffness and affect punching shear strength due to their size and placement. This review integrates experimental, analytical, and computational analyses to assess the influence of slab openings on structural performance. It discusses essential factors, including opening dimensions, configuration, positioning, and reinforcement techniques. The predicted reliability of design codes, such as ACI 318-19 (American Concrete Institute), Eurocode 2, and fib Model Code, is demonstrated, with an emphasis on their limitations in addressing opening effects. The results demonstrated that apertures adjacent to columns markedly reduce punching shear resistance by interrupting the critical shear perimeter and exacerbating stress concentrations. Nevertheless, the strategic positioning of reinforcements and the optimization of opening layouts alleviate these consequences. This literature review highlights the need for enhanced design specifications to guarantee safety and performance in reinforced concrete slab systems with apertures.

The findings show; (1) the kinds of error in phonology were 156 substitution errors, 136 omission errors and 57 addition errors. Therefore the most dominant error in phonology was substitution error of vowel (102). The total of number errors in morphology and syntax were 169 errors, and the most dominant error in morphology and syntax was diction errors (50). The kinds of error in morphology and syntax were 83 misformation errors, 46 misordering errors, 33 omission errors and 7 addition errors. (2) The cause of error in phonology, morphology and syntax was intra language. Intra language is the error made by the learners in learning English. (3) There are found two impacts of errors in student’s speech; 1) an error in phonology called global error. Global error is makes an utterance difficult to understand. 2) An error in morphology and syntax called local error. Local error is not influence a message of the speech
