Published: April 2023

Cette contribution se centre sur la dimension énonciative du discours scientifique. Nous prenons appui sur des typologies éprouvées par nos recherches antérieures sur le genre de l'article de recherche dans des langues et/ou des disciplines variées, pour étudier les rôles d'auteur et les références à d'autres sources dans des textes français du corpus issu du projet EIIDA, du domaine de la linguistique et des sciences. L’objectif est la comparaison entre l’article de recherche et l’exposé oral correspondant. Elle permet de montrer la spécificité de l’énonciation orale, et le fait que l’écrit sert de fondement dans le discours et la communauté du discours scientifiques.Mots-clé: écrit et oral, auteur, marques personnelles, références bibliographiques. Abstract This paper focuses on the enunciative dimension of academic discourse. We take as a point of departure the typologies developed in our previous work on the genre of the research article, in different languages and/or disciplines, in order to study author roles and references to other sources in the French texts of the EIIDA corpus, belonging to the fields of linguistics and science. The purpose is to undertake a comparison between the research article and its oral corresponding presentation. This perspective allows us to identify specific characteristics of the oral enunciation; we also find that the written article constitutes the basis for the scientific discourse as well as for the discourse community. Keywords: oral and written, author, self-mention, bibliographical references.
Nuove risorse per la ricerca del lessico del patrimonio culturale: corpora multilingue LBC
Authors: Billero Riccardo , Nicolás Martínez María Carlota
Published: April 2023

As a result of the wealth of artistic expression that Italy has produced over the centuries, the Italian cultural heritage lexicon has become a crucial object of interest for scholars of varied disciplines. However, while monolingual art dictionaries are currently available, there are no multilingual tools that offer the same level of quality and comprehensiveness. The present work moves in that direction. In particular, the aim of this paper is to describe the work done to date in designing and implementing the LBC database, a resource for constructing a multilingual art dictionary in nine languages (Chinese, French, English, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Turkish). This database, made up of nine corresponding corpora, will contain texts whose subject is cultural heritage, ranging from technical texts on art history to books on art appreciation, such as tour guides, and, lastly, travel books highlighting Italian art and culture. Below is a summary of the decisions taken during the work process and the challenges that lie ahead for its future development.
Más allá del feminismo islámico: redefiniendo la islamofobia y el patriarcado // Beyond Islamic feminism: redefining Islamophobia and patriarchy
Authors: Adlbi Sibai Sirin
Published: April 2023

ResumenEste artículo tiene el objetivo de presentar concisamente los principales ejes de mi cuestionamiento de los términos, los conceptos y la epistemología que subyace al trato habitual que se le ha dado, tanto por parte de no musulmanes como de personas que se reconocen como tal, a los debates sobre feminismo e islam. Esto lo abordaré desde la redefinición y la reflexión sobre los conceptos de islamofobia y patriarcado.En este sentido, todos los debates que abordan la cuestión en la actualidad gravitan muy heterogéneamente entorno a los términos del oxímoron, es decir un concepto cuyos términos son contradictorios. De modo que quedan encerrados en el debate binario de la compatibilidad o incompatibilidad de feminismo e islam. Sostengo que dicho esquema responde a unas estructuras de poder colonial sistémico que producen complejamente la subalternización e inferiorización del islam como civilización y sistema de valores y la subhumanización de las y los musulmanes. Por lo tanto, nos encontramos ante la urgente necesidad de trascender estos términos y las maneras muy concretas de hablar y de representar al islam y a las y los musulmanes y para ello debemos cuestionarnos: ¿Quién está planteando estas cuestiones? ¿Desde qué lugar de enunciación? ¿Por qué? ¿Para qué? Y ¿En qué términos?Palabras clave: Feminismo, Islam, patriarcado, islamofobia, decolonialidad.AbstractThis article aims to present concisely the main axes of my questioning of terms, concepts and epistemology that underlies the usual treatment that has been given, both by non-Muslims and people who recognize themselves as such, to the debates on feminism and Islam. This I will approach from the redefinition and reflection on the concepts of Islamophobia  and patriarchy.In this sense, all the debates that address the issue at present gravitate very heterogeneously around the terms of the oxymoron, that is, a concept whose terms are contradictory. So they are locked in the binary debate on the compatibility or incompatibility of feminism and Islam. I argue that this scheme responds to structures of systemic colonial power that complexly produce the subalternization and inferiorization of Islam as a civilization and value system and the subhumanization of Muslims. Therefore, we are faced with the urgent need to transcend these terms and the very specific ways of speaking and epresenting Islam and the Muslims and for this we must question ourselves Who is raising these issues? From what place of enunciation? Why? For what? And on what terms?Keywords: Feminism, Islam, patriarchy, islamophobia, decoloniality.
Dando a luz a la nación: la matria palestina // Bearing the nation: Palestinian motherland
Authors: Fonseca Azuara Clarisa Danae
Published: April 2023

ResumenEste artículo analiza la feminización de la nación palestina partiendo del marco teórico elaborado por Nira Yuval-Davis y Floya Anthias en su obra Woman, Nation, State (1989), donde identifican las vías por las que las mujeres participan en los procesos de construcción de la nación. Se va a prestar especial atención a la mujer como participante en las contiendas nacionales y como símbolo de identidad.No obstante, dentro del análisis de la participación de las mujeres palestinas en las contiendas nacionales se incluye también su papel como reproductoras biológicas y culturales de la nación ya que dar a luz, en el contexto palestino equivale a la participación en combate. A partir de la participación de las mujeres en tanto que agentes activas de la resistencia y símbolos, el presente estudio propone el término “matria” como una forma de narrar el nacionalismo palestino. En contraposición a patria, matria denominaría un espacio en términos femeninos donde las mujeres son las actrices principales en la construcción de la nación.El presente artículo explora la construcción nacional de la matria palestina con un enfoque de género que visibiliza a las mujeres palestinas. La conclusión central es que hay una superposición en la importancia del papel de las mujeres como agentes activas en la construcción de la nación y como símbolo de la nación feminizada, por lo que se puede afirmar que Palestina es una matria.Palabras Clave: Palestina, nacionalismo, mujeres. AbstractThe article analyzes the Palestinian nation and its process of feminization based on the theoretical framework elaborated by Nira Yuval-Davis and Floya Anthias on “Woman, Nation, State” (1989) that locates different ways of women’s participation on the national process.  The study will focus on women as active agents on the nation building process and as symbols of identity. Their role as biological and cultural reproducers of the nation will be included as a form of participation in the national struggle, since giving birth in the Palestinian context is considered equivalent to participation in combat. Present study proposes the term matria (motherland) as a way of narrating Palestinian nationalism. In contrast to patria (fatherland), matria is a feminine space where women are the main actresses in the construction of the nation. This article explores the national construction of the Palestinian matria and concludes that there is an overlap in the importance of the role of women as active agents in the construction of the nation and as symbols of the feminized nation, therefore Palestine is a motherland not a fatherland.Key Words: Palestine, nationalism, women.
La invención de las bailarinas orientales. Un artefacto colonial // The invention of oriental dancers. A colonial device
Authors: Bracco Carolina
Published: April 2023

ResumenEl artículo analiza cómo el ojo pornográfico colonial construyó el artefacto colonial “danza oriental” para avalar la mirada del hombre colonizador y de su cómplice, el hombre colonizado, y cómo, a su vez, este artefacto se volvió sobre el cuerpo de las mujeres occidentales blancas convirtiéndolas en un objeto de consumo visual. Para ello se propone una lectura del proceso a partir del pensamiento decolonial propuesto por Quijano, Lugones, y Segato entre otras. Se analiza a su vez cómo el cuerpo de las mujeres colonizadas como paisaje racializado fue el territorio sobre el que se construyó una imagen de un Oriente feminizado y exótico. Palabras Clave: danza oriental, Egipto, cuerpos, colonización, exotismo. AbstractThe paper analyzes how the “Oriental dance” as a colonial device was built by the colonial pornographic eye to reinforce the gaze of the colonizer man and his accomplice, the colonized man; and how, in turn, white western women’s bodies through this device became visual consumption objects. In order to do this, I propose an interpretation of the process through the decolonial perspective proposed by Quijano, Lugones and Segato among others. At the same time, I analyze how the bodies of colonized women as racialized landscapes became the base on which the image of the feminized and exotic Orient was constructed.Key Words: Oriental dance, Egypt, bodies, colonization, exotism.
Problemas de atribución y crítica textual de la comedia Cautelas son amistades: Godínez frente a Moreto
Authors: Rivera Salmerón Esperanza
Published: April 2023

La transmisión de las comedias en el siglo de Oro es un proceso muy complejo en que un texto podía sufrir muchas modificaciones, algunas de las cuales tenían que ver con falsas atribuciones de autoría. Este trabajo nace del cotejo ecdótico de los ocho testimonios que se conservan de la comedia barroca Cautelas son amistades, cinco atribuidos a Felipe Godínez (todos impresos, y entre ellos uno desconocido hasta ahora), y tres a Agustín Moreto (dos impresos y un manuscrito). Dicho estudio nos ofrece datos objetivos y tangibles que permiten confirmar a Felipe Godínez como autor de la comedia, así como hacer una hipótesis sobre su transmisión textual.Palabras clave: Cautelas son amistades, Felipe Godínez, Agustín Moreto, teatro barroco, problemas de autoría.Problems of attribution and textual criticism on the comedy Cautelas son amistades: Godínez versus MoretoAbstract: The transmission of comedies in the Golden Age is a very complex process. The text could suffer many variations, some of them related to false authorship. This paper was born from the ecdotic collation of the eight existing versions of the baroque comedy Cautelas son amistades. Five of them had been entitled to Felipe Godínez (all of them printed, one not even known until now) and the other three to Agustín Moreto (two printed ones and a manuscript). This work reveals objective and tangible data which confirm Felipe Godínez as the author of the comedy and made possible the elaboration of a hypothesis on its textual transmission.Key words: Cautelas son amistades, Felipe Godínez, Agustín Moreto, baroque drama, authorship problems.
«Las kenningar» (1933) de Jorge Luis Borges: la poesía escáldica islandesa en la encrucijada del ultraísmo y la poesía barroca
Authors: Fernández Moreno Sergio
Published: April 2023

Uno de los primeros textos en que se materializó el interés de Borges por la literatura germánica medieval es «Las kenningar», un ensayo publicado en 1933 por Francisco Colombo en el que tratará de analizar un tipo singular de metáfora «los kenningar» que actúa como pilar estilístico fundamental de la poesía escáldica desarrollada en la literatura escandinava desde el siglo ix d. C. Dado que este análisis se circunscribe a un contexto de evolución desde su anterior poética ultraísta, el objetivo del presente artículo es dilucidar en qué medida su vinculación a este movimiento influye en la valoración de la poesía escáldica a la que dedica su ensayo «Las kenningar», considerando al mismo tiempo las reflexiones del autor que, en relación a ambos movimientos, recuperan ejemplos poéticos del Barroco español.Palabras clave: Borges, kenningar, poesía islandesa, ultraísmo, metáfora«Las kenningar» (1933), by Jorge Luis Borges: the skaldic poetry of Iceland in the crossroads between ultraism and baroque poetryAbstract: The Argentinian author Jorge Luis Borges was very interested in Germanic medieval culture, especially since the 1960s. Nevertheless, in 1933 he published an essay in which he analyses a singular kind of metaphor, the kenningar, an essential stylistic pillar of skaldic poetry developed in Scandinavian literature since the 9th century AD. Due to the fact that Borges’s analysis departs from his personal conception of ultraistic poetry, the purpose of this paper is to explain how his connections with Ultraism affect the author’s considerations about the skaldic poems that he examines in his essay entitled «Las kenningar». Our paper will also consider Borges’s reflections about Spanish Baroque literature concerning his explanation of the kenningar.Key words: Borges, kenningar, Icelandic poetry, Ultraism, metaphor
Retóricas de la luz, poéticas de las sombras: diálogos lumínicos entre Alejo Carpentier y Joseph Conrad
Authors: Fernández Fernández Alba
Published: April 2023

Partiendo de una perspectiva comparatista, el presente artículo tiene por objetivo explorar las filiaciones existentes entre dos grandes obras de la literatura occidental contemporánea: Los pasos perdidos¸ de Alejo Carpentier y El corazón de las tinieblas, de Joseph Conrad. Tomando como punto de partida el análisis arquetípico del imaginario propuesto por el antropólogo y mitocrítico francés Gilbert Durand, la autora de este estudio analizará las dinámicas textuales de ambas novelas en aras de demostrar la existencia de un diálogo estético y temático subyacente entre ellos gracias al cual sendos escritores vehicularían una crítica acérrima a los valores occidentales proponiendo, por medio de un imaginario común y fundamentado en la dicotomía luz/ sombra, un modelo vital alternativo de carácter profundamente sincrético.Palabras clave: Carpentier, Conrad, luz-sombra, imaginarioRhétoriques de la lumière, poétiques des ombres: dialogues lumineux entre Alejo Carpentier et Joseph ConradRésumé: Ancré dans une perspective comparatiste, le texte qui s’en suit a pour but d’explorer les filiations existant entre deux des plus grands œuvres de la littérature occidentale contemporaine: Les pas perdus d’Alejo Carpentier, et Au Cœur des ténèbres de Joseph Conrad. En partant des analyses archétypiques de l’imaginaire proposées par l’anthropologue et mythocritique français Gilbert Durand, l’auteur de cette étude analysera les dynamiques textuelles des deux romans dans le but de démontrer l’existence subjacente d’un dialogue esthétique et thématique entre les deux textes. Grâce à la présence de ce dialogue, on essayera de justifier notre hypothèse de départ: l’idée selon laquelle les deux écrivains véhiculent une critique féroce aux valeurs occidentales qui leur permet, au moyen d’un imaginaire commun et fondé sur la dichotomie ombre/ lumière, de proposer un paradigme vital alternatif à caractère fortement syncrétique.Mots clés: Carpentier- Conrad- lumière- ombre- imaginaire.

Improvement in the information component to control natural monopoly
Authors:   State Institution “Institute for Economics and Forecasting, NAS of Ukraine”, Bandura Oleksandr
Published: April 2023

We define the specific features in the control over natural monopoly and the main drawbacks in the contemporary methods of such a control. Also, we analyze some alternative methods of monopoly control that take place in world practice. This paper presents a possible way to improve the information component for quantitative control of natural monopoly using the method of marginal price level fixing (method of price coefficients changing). This method is a widespread one that is used for price regulation of natural monopoly in highly developed countries. However, the method to define the main elements in the corresponding formula — inflation number, economic efficiency factor (X-factor) and effect of external factors (Z-factor) — is still to be elaborated. This fact is one of the main objective reasons why this method is not presently used in practice in Ukraine. Of fundamental importance is the uncertainty of the efficiency factor (X-factor) revision criteria. It can contribute to the slowdown of investments, reducing the interest of the monopolist in large-scale and long-term investments. This paper presents an attempt to eliminate most of the above mentioned drawbacks in the method of the marginal price fixing (method of price coefficients changing) using author's CMI-model of macroeconomic dynamics. We propose a method to define unambiguously the efficiency factor (X) for natural monopoly. Also, we have modified the formula to define the price (tariff) for a product of natural monopoly in order to stimulate the monopoly's innovative and investment activity while keeping the consumer’s interest, and to eliminate the slowdown effect of investments. Besides, using the CMI-model we are able to determine quantitative indexes of monopoly power and the rate of effect of this power on the economy as a whole and on its various sectors. These indexes are proposed as additional ones to the price (tariff) formula to verify the results of the formula’s action.

The most critical operating conditions of solid rocket motors (SRMs) are often due to the development of dynamic processes characterized by excess values of operating parameters. Pressure surges and a sharp increase in the combustion product temperature may impair the strength of the combustion chamber structure, cause its failure, and lead to critical conditions of the motor operation, up to extinguishing the propellant combustion in the motor. It is shown that both in steady and in unsteady operating conditions of an SRM, dynamic processes in its combustion chamber feature a complex interrelation of a large number of processes in the gas-dynamic space of the combustion chamber: physical, chemical, and thermodynamic (heat and mass exchange) processes. It is found that current studies of SRM operation instability are aimed at identifying mechanisms of combustion chamber pressure oscillations, which are usually due to combustion product vortex formation in the chamber space and acoustic feedback resulting from collisions of vortices with the SRM’s combustion chamber components or nozzle. Other lines of investigation are the analysis of SRM resonant damping and the establishment of a relationship between aluminum droplet combustion and SRM internal instability. It is noted that accelerations and vibrations of mixed-propellant combustion surfaces may greatly affect the combustion rate and the agglomeration, on-surface confinement, and burn-up of metal additives, which, in its turn, governs the combustion chamber acoustics. It is pointed out that the interaction of SRM combustion chamber pressure oscillations and the response of the SRM structure observed in flight tests of some rockets should be taken into account in predicting the stability of SRM dynamic processes. This interaction may call into question the sufficiency of SRM static tests and subsequent conclusions on the magnitude of its dynamic effect on the rocket structure.

In recent years, more and more attention has been paid to nozzles with an unconventional profile, which differs from that of the classical streamline-profiled Laval nozzle. In such nozzles, the flow fields typically include interacting supersonic and subsonic flows, often with recirculation regions and a complex wave structure of the flow. This work is concerned with a numerical study of the wave structure of the gas flow in a truncated supersonic nozzle with an elliptical bell-shaped tip whose length is long in comparison with the conical section upstream of the tip. The gas flow inside the nozzle and in the surrounding space was simulated using the ANSYS software package. The calculations were carried out in a non-stationary axisymmetric formulation based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations closed with the use of the SST turbulence model with near-wall functions and a compressibility correction. In the calculations, the nozzle inlet pressure and the ambient pressure were varied. The correctness of the methodological approaches to the solution of the problem was confirmed in the authors’ previous works. The study showed the following. At low values of the nozzle inlet pressure (P0 < 50 bar) and an ambient pressure of 1 bar, the tip wall exhibits a developed separation zone with a large-scale vortex and a small-scale one (near the tip exit). The first "barrel" of the outflowing gas shows a "saddle" low-intensity compression wave structure. In the case of a separated flow, the tip wall pressure in the separation zone is about 15% less than the ambient pressure. At P0 > 100 bar, the tip wall pressure is nearly proportional to the nozzle inlet pressure. In the upper atmosphere, when going in a radial direction from the nozzle axis at the tip exit cross-section, the static pressure monotonically decreases, reaches a minimum, and then increases linearly to the its maximum value on the tip wall. In the case of a separated flow in the tip at a sea-level ambient pressure, the static pressure at the tip exit cross-section behaves in the same manner for inlet pressures P0 > 50 bar. At P0 = 50 bar, there exist two extrema: the pressure first deceases to its minimum value, then increases to its maximum value, and then decreases slightly to its value on the tip wall.

Background and Objectives

Pediatric hospitalizations are costly, stressful events for families. Many caregivers, especially those with lower incomes, struggle to afford food while their child is hospitalized. We sought to decrease the mean percentage of caregivers of Medicaid-insured and uninsured children who reported being hungry during their child’s hospitalization from 86% to <24%.

Methods

Our quality improvement efforts took place on a 41-bed inpatient unit at our large, urban academic hospital. Our multidisciplinary team included physicians, nurses, social workers, and food services leadership. Our primary outcome measure was caregiver-reported hunger; we asked caregivers near to the time of discharge if they experienced hunger during their child’s hospitalization. Plan-do-study-act cycles addressed key drivers: awareness of how to obtain food, safe environment for families to seek help, and access to affordable food. An annotated statistical process control chart tracked our outcome over time. Data collection was interrupted because of the COVID-19 pandemic; we used that time to advocate for hospital-funded support for optimal and sustainable changes to caregiver meal access.

Results

We decreased caregiver hunger from 86% to 15.5%. A temporary test of change, 2 meal vouchers per caregiver per day, resulted in a special cause decrease in the percentage of caregivers reporting hunger. Permanent hospital funding was secured to provide cards to purchase 2 meals per caregiver per hospital day, resulting in a sustained decrease in rates of caregiver hunger.

Conclusions

We decreased caregivers’ hunger during their child’s hospitalization. Through a data-driven quality improvement effort, we implemented a sustainable change allowing families to access enough food.
Die Palastanlage oberhalb des Theaters von Ephesos
Authors: Baier Christoph
Published: April 2023

Für die urbane Topografie des antiken Ephesos war ihre zum Hafen gewandte Stadtansicht mit dem Theater von besonderer Bedeutung, die jedoch bislang kaum erforscht ist. Dies gilt auch für das Areal oberhalb des Theaters, das von einem beeindruckenden Gebäudekomplex an einer prominent wahrnehmbaren Position innerhalb des Stadtgefüges eingenommen wurde. Wenngleich die monumentalen Ruinen dieser Anlage nur teilweise frei liegen, haben Feldforschungen des Österreichischen Archäologischen Instituts seit 2009 neues Licht auf die Fragen ihrer Bau- und Nutzungsgeschichte sowie ihre Einbettung in die umgebende Stadtlandschaft geworfen. Wohl bereits im Hellenismus als Verwaltungsresidenz geplant, illustriert der Baukomplex aus städtebaulicher Sicht den Aufstieg des antiken Ephesos zu einem Zentrum der politischen Macht. In der römischen Kaiserzeit erstreckte sich die Palastanlage über eine Fläche von mehr als 10 000 m² und ist mit den wenigen archäologisch bekannten Statthalterresidenzen des Imperium Romanum gut zu vergleichen. Damit kann sie auch als Ausgangspunkt für Überlegungen dienen, inwieweit Architektur und Städtebau bei der Planung der Residenz und des umgebenden Stadtgebiets der Manifestation politischer Herrschaft dienten.

Published: April 2023

Introduction: Cancer is one of the diseases associated with aging. Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women. There are many studies linking vitamin D receptor expression with breast cancer. Many previous studies have shown a significant association between the Apa1 vitamin D receptor and the clinicopathological characteristics of breast cancer. This study aims to prove the association between the Apa1 vitamin D receptor polymorphism and the clinicopathological characteristics of breast cancer at Sanglah Hospital, Denpasar Bali.
Methods: This research is an analytic study with cross sectional method. The research was conducted at the Integrated Biomedical Laboratory Unit of the Faculty of Medicine, Udayana University from February to May 2021. The samples in this study were 38 stored biological materials in the form of DNA from breast cancer patients in the Biochemistry Laboratory of the Udayana Faculty of Medicine. To determine the polymorphism of the Apa1 vitamin D receptor, DNA samples from breast cancer patients were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method, then identified by sequencing method. Statistical analysis used bivariate and multivariate analysis to determine the association between Apa1 vitamin D receptor polymorphism and clinicopathological characteristics of breast cancer. 
Result: From the sequencing results, it was found that there were 14 people (36.8%) with homozygous Wildtype CC, 7 people (18.4%) with heterozygous AC, and 17 people (44.7%) with homozygous polymorphism AA. There was no significant association between age, menopausal status, and history of contraception with breast cancer clinicopathology, but menopausal status was significant with the stage of breast cancer patients (p=0.046). There was no significant association between the Apa1 vitamin D receptor polymorphism with the clinicopathological characteristics of breast cancer where the p value> 0.05.
Conclusion: There was no significant association between the Apa1 vitamin D receptor polymorphism with the clinicopathological characteristics of breast cancer at Sanglah Hospital, Denpasar Bali.

Statistical analysis, including univariate and bivariate analysis, was done using SPSS 23. A normality test was carried out, and the Mann-Whitney method was used to asses the difference in results between the experiment and control. The non-parametric test results showed that in the experimental group there was a difference between the results of the examination of biological parameters of the water (E.coli, coliform) and turbidity parameters, before and after the experiment  with p-value 0.001. In the control group, the results revealed no difference between the results of the examination of water biological parameters and water turbidity before and after the experiment.
Conclusion: Double pot diffuser is recommended to residents because it has been proven to improve the water quality in gumleng. Draining and cleaning gumleng once a week is also recommended to prevent sedimentation from dissolving and re-polluting the water.
An Application of Financial IT Programs to Support Customer Relations
Authors: Kubacka Maria
Published: April 2023

The aim of the paper was to present research on the status for the use of financial information systems and CRM systems or ERP modules for customer relationship management to support customer relations, and in particular to identify the status of the use of these systems depending on the type of an enterprise in the Podkarpackie province (voivodeship). At the same time, the study examined whether the customer relationship management system was coupled with the enterprise’s financial and accounting system in terms of importing customer information, and the sources of obtaining customer information were identified. On the basis of the research conducted, it should be stated that the CRM class system was functioning in almost 31% of the enterprises under the survey. As a result of the analysis of contingency tables and verification of statistical significance of the relationships studied, and using the chi-square independence test, it was confirmed that the type of enterprise differentiated the entities in terms of the use of CRM systems (or the relevant ERP modules for customer relationship management) in supporting customer relations. At the same time, the study showed that the use of customer relationship management systems was related to the indication of the desired sources of customer information. The research filled a gap in knowledge about the use of customer relationship management systems in enterprises in the Podkarpackie province.
Rainfall extremes in Northern Vietnam: a comprehensive analysis of patterns and trends
Authors: Ngo Duc Thanh-
Published: April 2023

This study examines the characteristics and trends of extreme rainfall in Northern Vietnam from 1961 to 2018, using daily rainfall data collected from 37 meteorological stations. The study reveals that the average annual rainfall varies significantly across stations, ranging from 1140 mm to 4758 mm. The rainy season accounts for 73% to 92% of the total annual rainfall. Most stations show a declining trend in the annual total rainfall during wet days (PRCPTOT) and the number of wet days (WDAY), while rainfall intensity (SDII) has increased in most stations, particularly during the dry season. This can be attributed to an increase in PRCPTOT and a decrease in WDAY in the dry season. The study also finds a general decreasing trend in the annual maximum 1-day precipitation (RX1day) and consecutive 5-day precipitation (RX5day), as well as for the number of moderate (R16mm) and heavy (R50mm) rainfall days. However, most stations in Northern Vietnam demonstrate no trend in the annual maximum number of consecutive dry days (CDD) and the annual maximum number of consecutive wet days (CWD). Furthermore, the frequency of extreme rainfall events in Northern Vietnam exceeding the 5-year and 10-year return values of 1961-2018 has decreased in recent decades at many stations. Overall, the findings of this study provide insights into the changing patterns of extreme rainfall in Northern Vietnam, with significant implications for climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction efforts in the region.

Published: April 2023

The paper reviews the “Dictionary of Place Names of the Republic of Kalmykia” compiled by scientists of the Kalmyk State University and published in 2019. It is primarily focused on toponyms collected during the expeditions of 2013–2017 but also includes the names extracted from other sources (maps, works of Kalmyk writers, scientific works). The book comprises more than 2,400 entries and today is the most complete bilingual (Russian and Kalmyk) on the toponymy of the Republic. The etymologies provided for the majority of names make the dictionary a rich source of information about the material and spiritual culture of the Kalmyks and their vision of the surrounding geographical space. The toponymy recorded in the dictionary builds a larger picture of Kalmyk generic sub-ethnonyms and personal names corpus, including archaic ones. In this vein, apart from discussing the “formal” features of the dictionary, the review analyzes the culturally significant layers of Kalmyk toponyms presented there (names of steppe burial mounds, water bodies, sacred places, etc.). Considering the prospects of making a new, even more complete version of the dictionary, the reviewer gives her recommendations on advancing the etymological research and the improvement of the reference part of this edition.

To study electric propulsion devices, accurate long-time measurements of the low thrust forces are necessary. For this purpose, a new, lightweight thrust balance was established. To evaluate the performance of this thrust balance, it was operated to perform measurements of the well-studied RIT 10 gridded-ion thruster. The new thrust balance and its performance were demonstrated, and a first estimate on accuracy and long-term stability was obtained. Although the setup was fully manufactured and calibrated, a final test using an electric thruster is still necessary. To study the behavior of the thrust balance, the RIT-10 thruster was operated for extended intervals on the DLR Electric Propulsion Balance thrust balance. The long-term stability in terms of thermal drift, effects of the fluid and electric interface, and effects of the vacuum and plasma environment onto the thrust balance were studied.
THREE-AXIS SATELLITE ATTITUDE CONTROL USING THREE OPTIMAL FRACTIONAL-ORDER PIλDμ CONTROLLERS AND ADVANCED SWARM INTELLIGENCE ALGORITHMS
Authors: Nail Bachir
Published: April 2023

This work develops three optimal fractional-order PIλDμ controllers for a three-axis satellite tracking attitude. The nonlinear differential equation of the satellite model is linearized around its operating orbital frame, local horizontal, local vertical (LHLV), and stabilized by linear quadratic regulator (LQR), to obtain a stable linear continuous or discrete state space model with first order. Each of the three controllers to be designed consists of five parameters that should be chosen optimally: three gains Kp, Ki, and Kd; and two fractional orders λ and μ. Two advanced meta-heuristics algorithms are used to select the best parameters: the Harris hawks optimizer (HHO), and the artificial hummingbird algorithm (AHA). Based on the results shown and comparative study with conventional controllers, the proposed tuned controllers directed the satellite to follow the desired angle trajectories in the three directions efficiently.

The Kosciuszko Bridge carries a 1.8 km long segment of the Brooklyn–Queens Expressway over Newtown Creek between Brooklyn and Queens in New York City, USA. The roadway is a vital link in the region's transportation network, carrying over 170 000 vehicles/day. Owing to structural and operational deficiencies, the existing structure was replaced. The new bridge consists of two parallel structures, one eastbound and one westbound, with main spans mirroring one another. Each structure consists of a single-tower cable-stayed main span over Newtown Creek with unbalanced main and back spans. This was the first cable-stayed bridge to be constructed in New York City, joining the ranks of the city's most iconic bridges. Here, two main span structures are discussed, with the focus primarily on the design and construction of the westbound, phase 2 bridge. Some key design aspects are outlined, including outboard cable anchorages, a concrete-filled counterweight and other details intended to facilitate construction, maintenance and inspection. The eastbound, phase 1 bridge was constructed under a design–build contract, and the westbound, phase 2 bridge as a design–bid–build. The paper also touches on some of the design aspects that were refined during the second phase.
Experimental study to enhance prediction of jet-grout column diameter and efficiency in sand

One of the most significant factors affecting the efficiency of jet-grouting operation is the diameter of the constructed column, depending on soil properties, stress state and operating parameters, including grout pressure (P), grout flow rate (Q), monitor rotational speed (ω) and lifting step (Δs). Increasing treatment efficiency results in a larger diameter with specific energy applied per unit length of the column. In this study, 35 full-scale and small-scale single-fluid jet-grouting elements were constructed in the field and laboratory to investigate the effects of the operating parameters on the diameter and treatment efficiency of the columns constructed in silty sand. Furthermore, measured values and obtained trends were controlled by a comprehensive equation commonly used to predict the diameter of jet-grouting columns. The results indicate that an increase in the time interval per step (Δt) and grout pressure (P), as well as a decrease in the lifting step (Δs), causes a larger column diameter and lower efficiency. However, a decline in rotational speed (ω) improves both diameter and efficiency. Subsequently, the well-known equation has been modified by considering field measurements in this study to predict more-accurate values and trends for both full-scale and small-scale jet-grouting elements.
Is Canada’s commuter bicycling population becoming more representative of the general population over time? A national portrait of bicycle commute mode share 1996–2016.

Despite equity gaining increasing attention in Canadian bicycling practice and research, the demographics of who is bicycling have not been documented nationally in Canada. This study uses Canadian census data to provide a nationwide portrait of: 1) how bicycle commute mode share varies by gender, race, income, and age in Canada; 2) how the sociodemographic characteristics of bicycle commuters in Canada have shifted between 1996 and 2016; and 3) how bicycle commuting and the demographics of bicycle commuters vary across metropolitan regions in Canada. We find that men, people who are not visible minorities and low-income populations commute by bicycle at double the rates of women, visible minorities, and other income groups, respectively. Women comprise an increasing share of bicycling commuters over the 20 years, whereas bicycling is increasing at similar rates across race and income groups. Cycling distinctly decreases with age. Cycling rates vary by region and there is some evidence that low-income and visible minority groups bicycle more in smaller, more car-centric metropolitan areas. These findings identify differences in bicycling across socio-demographic groups and geographic regions, which sets a foundation for research to uncover why these differences are occurring, in order to point policymakers toward targeted solutions that specifically address inequities in bicycle commuting between population groups.

Background: Capsicum spp. grow in environments with different incident radiation, that could modify the plant growth and the concentration of phytochemicals in fruits.

Hypothesis: Shading positively affects phenology and fruit yield, decreases the total contents of phenols (TPC), flavonoids (FLV), proanthocyanidins (PAN) and carotenoids (CAT) in fruits of wild Capsicum species.

Studied species: Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum: amashito (AMA) and garbanzo (GAR), and C. frutescens (Pico Paloma, PIP)

Study site and dates: Huimanguillo, Tabasco, Mexico; 2020 and 2021.

Methods: Seeds were treated with gibberellic acid (GA3) (500 mg L-1) for 24 h prior to seeding. The seedlings were transplanted in an open field and under two levels of shade (35 and 70 %) under a subsplit plot design with four replicates. TPC, FLV, PAN and CAT were determinate in immature and ripe fruits by UV-vis spectrophotometry.

Results: Shade accelerated the phenological processes from the first bifurcation of the stem, and decreased the fruits ripening time from anthesis of the genotypes studied. Shade only increased the yield of the AMA genotype and reduced the contents of TPC, FLV, and CAT; however, these metabolites increased under open field conditions.

Conclusions: The shade reduced the duration of phenological stages including the ripening period of fruits, and increased the plant height of the Capsicum spp. The increase in yield by shading effect only was observed in AMA genotype. The content of phytochemicals in Capsicum fruits is reduced by shading levels.
Culturing of infective agents from infected wheat leaves v1
Authors: Schwessinger Benjamin
Published: April 2023

This protocols is part of the ANU Biosecurity mini-research project #1 "Plant Pathogen Diagnostics: Visuals, subcultures, and genomics". You will be provided four pots of 3-4 week old wheat plants that have been infected with different wheat pathogens. Each pot has been infected with one major pathogen. You will not know which pot has been infected with which pathogen. However, you will be provided a compendium of 10-15 wheat pathogens that will guide you to identify the infective agent for each treatment group. The fifth treatment group will be uninfected wheat plants which will be clearly identified. You can use treatment group #5 as negative control for your experiments. In total, each group will obtain five pots each: This specific protocol is a step by step guide to culture infective agents out of infected wheat leaves. This process will take three weeks to complete, therefore the protocol is applicable for week 2-4. The final goal is to isolate the disease causing agent, if at all possible, via culture media. Of course not all pathogens are culturable and the protocol is geared towards filamentous pathogens which are the most severe pathogens of wheat in Australia. So the specific approach to culturing and the identity of the disease causing agent defines the possibility of the organism being cultured. Something to keep in mind when interpreting the results. Protocols progress overview: Week 2 you will identify suitable infected leaf material, surface sterilise it, and culture cut leaf pieces on water agar to enable microbial growth. Week 3 you will identify organisms that have grown out of the leaf onto the agar and subculture them onto high nutrient agar plates. Week 4 you will take pictures of the subcutlured organisms and try to classify it them based on morphological features.
