Dependence of "viscoscity-temperature" of wash oils from different manufacturers.
Authors: Bannikov A.L. , Karnozhitskiy P.V.
Published: January 2024

Coal tar wash oil is the main absorbent for removing benzene hydrocarbons from coke gas and is also used in various industries. Determination of oil viscosity is important primarily for precise regulation of the flow of the substance, given that a low viscosity value indicates less resistance to movement and higher movement speed. The value of the oil viscosity index in the process of its use for the recovery of benzene hydrocarbons from coke gas acquires the status of an integral criterion for evaluating the properties of the oil as an absorbent. For engineering and technological calculations of the viscosity of wash oil, coke chemists of Ukraine use two reference sources of information, although the conditions and materials for obtaining data are not specified in these sources. In the current period in Ukraine, in connection with the limitation of the production of wash oil, the issue of purchasing foreign samples of oil of a wide range of quality is being considered. To determine and interpret the temperature dependence of viscosity for samples of foreign and domestic oils of different composition, experiments were performed to measure dynamic viscosity using a Brookfield DV2T rotational rheometer with a controlled shear rate. β-methyl naphthalene was selected as the additive that most reduces oil viscosity, and diphenylene oxide as the additive that most increases oil viscosity. Among the experimentally obtained dependences, the maximum viscosity values are obtained by the oil produced in Ukraine on a single-column unit, and the minimum values by the oil produced abroad, artificially saturated with β-methyl naphthalene. The nature of the experimentally obtained curves is approximately the same, only the heavier domestic oil is more temperature-dependent at the beginning of the temperature range taken for research. Foreign samples of absorbent oil with a rather narrow boiling range have a lower viscosity level than oils of Ukrainian producers with a wider boiling range. Keywords: wash oil, viscosity, temperature dependence, aromatic components, viscous flow activation energy. Corresponding author: Artem L. Bannikov, e-mail: artiksmartik@gmail.com
Issues and Challenges in Investigating Rape Cases in Bangladesh: Insights from Field-Level Police Officers’ Experiences
Authors: Hasan Akramul , Akond Aurongajeb , Mohiuddin Anira
Published: January 2024

Sexual assault and rape are pervasive across all nations and cultures. This gender-based crime is considered one of the most heinous crimes in Bangladesh. A first information report (FIR) and subsequent investigation by police officers are the first steps in the criminal justice response to rape. Unfortunately, it is frequently difficult for law enforcement officials to conduct an investigation and guarantee justice for the victims. Delays and improper investigations dampen the enthusiasm of rape victims seeking justice. This paper explores the issues and challenges the police officers confront when investigating rape cases. A qualitative research approach has been applied to this study, where a total of 15 police officers participated in in-depth interviews. This paper reveals that problems with existing legal instruments, crime scene management, and evidence collection processes are apparent in rape case investigations. Furthermore, challenges pertaining to medical and forensic examaminaitons, insufficient logistical supports, an excessive number of responsibilities, and various internal and external pressures have a detrimental impact on the efficacy of police investigations. Victim and witness non-cooperation, delays in filing cases, practices of filing false rape cases, informal mediation, and out-of-court settlements all reduce the success rate of police investigations and result in low conviction rates.

Published: January 2024

ResumenDebido a la contingencia sanitaria de los últimos años, la necesidad del estudio del autocuidado se ha convertido en vital. En este artículo, se evaluaron las propiedades psicométricas de dos versiones de una escala que mide el autocuidado (físico, psicológico y espiritual). Para tal propósito, se diseñó un instrumento (original y una versión corta) de autoinforme que se aplicó digitalmente a dos muestras no probabilísticas (n1= 313, n2= 199). Para identificar los principales factores que explicarán la matriz de intercorrelación, se realizaron análisis factoriales exploratorios, los cuales demostraron una estructura trifactorial similar en ambas versiones, las cuales explican el 42.3% y 55.7% de la varianza total respectivamente. En cuanto a la consistencia interna de la escalas fueron aceptables (α≥.901), así como sus subescalas (físico: α≥.713, psicológico: α≥.812, espiritual: α≥.936). Así mismo, se encontró que la escala en sus dos versiones, obtuvieron asociaciones significativas con constructos teóricamente relevantes. Los hallazgos sugieren que el instrumento, en sus dos versiones, poseen validez de constructo, convergente y divergente, además de ser confiables para medir el autocuidado. AbstractDue to the health contingency during the past few years, the need for the study of self-care has become vital. In the present study, we evaluate psychometric properties of two versions of a scale that measures self-care (physical, psychological and spiritual). A self-report instrument (original and a short version) was designed, where participants from two non-probabilistic samples (n1= 313, n2= 199) answered the items online. To identify the main factors that will explain the intercorrelation matrix, exploratory factor analyses were performed, which demonstrated a similar trifactorial structure in both versions, which explained 42.3% and 55.7% of the total variance respectively. As for the internal consistency of the scales, they were acceptable for the total instrument (α≥,901), as well as the subscales (physical: α≥,713, psychological: α≥,812, spiritual: α≥,936). Likewise, we found that the instrument in its two versions, demonstrated significant associations with theoretically relevant constructs. These findings suggest that the instrument, in its two versions, possess construct, convergent and divergent validity, as well as being reliable for measuring self-care.

Authors: Yawar Mohammad Ekram , Rasooli Muaiyid
Published: January 2024

Afghanistan is China's neighbor and with its location in the south of Asia, it is important for global players including China. Afghanistan participates with Pakistan in the initiative-way project. The main question of this article is that what are China's goals through the Belt and Road initiative through Afghanistan? This article explains the goals and actions of world powers and especially China in the political scene with the descriptive-analytical method and using the theoretical approaches of balancing, the international regimes and the interdependence theories. Afghanistan has paid attention to the role of foreign radio media in reflecting this issue. Based on the results, the improvement of the economic situation of the troubled Xinjiang region in the northwest of China, the stabilization of China's economic and commercial position in Central Asia, the development of China's economic influence in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and the revival of its traditional position is vital. China is on the Silk Road in the framework of a wide land and sea corridor. With West Asia and Europe, it is considered among the motivations and reasons for the formation of China's plan. Also, due to the competition with the big powers, China wants to minimize their role in Afghanistan and reach a balance of power with them. Therefore, the percentage of Afghanistan's confidence has come and the request for this plan is from Afghanistan.
Personality in Just a Few Words: Assessment Using Natural Language Processing
Authors: Sikström Sverker , Valavičiūtė Ieva , Kajonius Petri
Published: January 2024

Assessment of psychological constructs, for example, the Big Five personality traits, have till now predominantly relied on standardized rating scales. While these rating scales have several advantages, we propose that a descriptive word-based response analyzed with natural language processing (NLP) is a promising novel method for measuring personality traits. We asked participants (N = 663) to describe either their own personality or describe a person that is high in one of the big five traits, using five words. These responses were analyzed using a large language model (e.g., BERT). The main objective was to assess the validity of word response describing personality traits analyzed by NLP and compare this to the validity of a commonly used rating scale for assessment of the Big Five personality traits (i.e., IPIP-NEO-30). The average prediction accuracy for categorizing the Big Five traits, based on stimuli material with known personality traits, was up to 10% higher for descriptive word responses than for rating scales. The results also showed that semantic measures had higher inter-rater reliability and that observer convergence was higher in assessments of others than self. This suggests that descriptive word-based descriptions may capture more broad and noticeable aspects of personality than rating scales.
Self-associated stimuli do not show a metacognitive advantage
Authors: Lo Chien Ming , Duncan Niall W
Published: January 2024

A range of studies have demonstrated that self-related stimuli can be processed preferentially when compared to stimuli that are not self-related. This means that they may be detected more easily or processed more quickly, depending upon the task type. Beyond these primary judgements, we can also ask about secondary reflection. Such metacognitive processes allow us to appraise our own behaviours. The question then arises whether or not a self-advantage will be seen in metacognitive judgements, like in primary judgements, or whether this self effect is missing in metacognition. To investigate this we used a self-association process to relate geometric stimuli to the self and to a friend. In the first experiment, these stimuli were used in a detection task where participants were also asked to rate their confidence about their detection responses. In the second experiment, we used the stimuli in a discrimination task where participants were again asked to rate their confidence levels. Metacognitive efficiency was compared between self- and friend-related stimuli. No self advantage for metacognition was observed in either task.
Inspiration and Self-perceived Success predicting Flow Proneness in Indian Singers
Authors: DORIN ALIDA
Published: January 2024

Flow is an optimal psychophysical state which is experienced when an individual’s skill is in balance with the challenge of the task at hand which is defined by a clear goal and acting upon the same distorts their perception of time, characterized by having control over the actions, high level of concentration and loss of self-consciousness. There are several non-cognitive traits found to be associated with flow proneness such as grit, growth mindset, emotional intelligence and so on. In this study, the effect of Inspiration and Self-perceived Success on flow proneness is investigated. Indian singers (N=19) practising and performing different genres of music were focused on to study the interaction of prior variables. A significant positive correlation between both inspiration and self-perceived success with dispositional flow was found. Mediation analysis revealed how inspiration affects the predictive value of self-perceived success and grit on dispositional flow. This study sheds light on the new potential predictors of flow experience in singers and briefly explains the psychology of Indian singers as well.
Filled pauses serve a…um…communicative function: a comparison between self- directed and social speech
Authors: Van Craeyenest Kasper , Hartsuiker Robert , Pistono Aurélie
Published: January 2024

Some authors argue that filled pauses serve a communicative function in speech. The currentstudy aims to test this function by analyzing the difference in filler-use in a self-directed and socialspeech condition. Additionally, the influence of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) traits and stresson the difference in filler-use between the two conditions were examined. In the first condition,participants had to describe a series of different tangrams to themselves. In the second condition,participants had to describe tangrams to another participant. Results indicate that more filled pauseswere used when talking to someone else, which suggests that these disfluencies serve a purposebeyond being mere stopgaps or indications of planning difficulties. However, no significantcorrelation was found between the score on the ASD questionnaire or stress and the difference infillers used in both speech conditions.

Published: January 2024

Introduction: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are a significant health concern among workers, especially in the meat processing industry. Their impacts have been well documented and reported on numerous occasions. The study aimed to determine the prevalence of WMSDs and the ergonomic assessment of exposure to their risk factors.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in a pig slaughterhouse in the town municipality of Ang Thong, Thailand. Data were collected from April to July 2021 from 108 participants who answered a questionnaire. The descriptive questionnaire for WMSDs was adapted from the Standardized Nordic Questionnaire in Thai and the Bureau of Occupational and Environmental Diseases, Department of Disease Control of Thailand. Ten individuals received an ergonomic assessment of their exposure to risk factors using the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method.
Results: According to the study, 94.4% of participants working in pig slaughterhouse production reported experiencing the prevalence of WMSDs in the last seven days. Additionally, 93.5% of workers reported experiencing the prevalence of these disorders within the past 12 months. It has been observed that 29.6% of participants experience higher pain levels in their hands, while 25.9% experience it in their wrists, respectively. Based on the results of an ergonomic risk assessment using the REBA method, the half-cutting operator position presents a moderate level of risk.
Conclusion: The study revealed that most of the workers at the pig slaughterhouse had to use their hands and arms to apply repeated pressure consistently. The occurrence rates of WMSDs within the last seven days and 12 months were highest in the hands or wrists, followed by the upper arms and shoulders. Therefore, it is crucial to implement ergonomic measures to minimize the risk factors for WMSDs among production workers in pig slaughterhouses.

Authors: Lamichhane Hari Krishna
Published: January 2024

This article examines human-nature relationship in Thomas Hardy’s novel The Woodlanders. It examines how Hardy shows environment’s role in nourishing human beings and giving them knowledge. This article, in particular, studies the situations of the characters Grace Melbury, Fitzipiers and Mrs. Charmond. In the novel, Hardy dramatizes how place determines the ‘making’ and ‘unmaking’ of an individual especially through the character of Grace Melbury. The novel deals with the problematic aspects of being uprooted from the place. The characters with the rootedness to place have the easier survival, fixed geographical and cultural identity and the other who have not rootedness with the geographical location neither get fixed social/cultural identity nor assimilate with the place properly. Lack of assimilation with the place makes the characters suffer. In this sense, the novel has highly emphasized the sense of place in it.

Ageing is a natural phenomenon and an inevitable process. Population ageing is pervasive since it is creating humanitarian, social and economic problems in many countries of the world including Nepal. Nepalese society is in a phase of modernization. There is modification in the cultural norms and traditional family support systems for elderly in Nepal which have placed substantial strain in caring elderly people. In Nepal, there were 1.5 million in 2001 and 2.1 million in 2011, elderly inhabitants, which constitute 6.5 percent and 8.1 % of the total population in the country. During the years 1991-2001, the annual elderly population growth rate was 3.39 percent, higher than the annual population growth rate of 2.3 percent. Growing numbers of elderly people are suffering problems in different aspect, but there are limited studies in relation to general morbidities as well as specific in this group of people. The government of Nepal has formulated a National policy, act and regulations on ageing and the problems of elderly; however, this has not been operationalised because of limited resources. In this background of problems that elderly people are facing and government slow initiatives, this paper is illustrated with the objective to explore the different dimensions of ageing and health and health related services for aging people in Nepal using different information for the purpose of further concrete steps in the benefits for elders.

Notes on the morphology, distribution and bionomics of Phyllodiscus semoni (Anthozoa: Actiniaria: Aliciidae)

Phyllodiscus semoni Kwietniewski, 1897, a little-known species of sea anemones of the family Aliciidae, is quite widely distributed in the tropics but has not been recorded from the Spratly Islands so far. The reason that the range of this species is poorly studied lies not only in the fact that many tropical areas are still poorly explored but also in the peculiar appearance of this animal in the sea. It rarely extends its tentacles during daylight hours and is not readily recognised by divers and researchers as an actinian. Our underwater observations, accompanied by high-resolution photography and specimen collection, evidence the presence of this species along the continental coast of Vietnam and in the waters of the Spratly Archipelago. During the dives, some observations were made on the behavior of the polyps and symbiotic shrimp living on their bodies. This species of sea anemones can cause severe skin burns in humans, which is confirmed by our experience. Summarised literature data on the distribution of Ph. semoni is provided.

Recent research suggests that the need for communication is realized in today's youth with certain psychological difficulties due to communication barriers, which in turn may be exacerbated by distance learning and require environmental and effective methods of overcoming. The article provides a theoretical analysis of the current state of the problem of barriers to interpersonal communication that arise in the context of distance learning. Interpersonal communication is an important and integral part of the life of each individual, barriers that may arise in the process - will significantly affect the emotional and psychological well-being of the individual. Much attention is paid to distance learning, its features and specifics are analyzed. It is revealed how distance learning affects the psycho-emotional state of the student. The article considers and analyzes such phenomena as virtual communication and Internet addiction. The peculiarities of partner choice and the specifics of building interpersonal interaction in the process of virtual communication are determined. Research into the phenomenon of Internet addiction has revealed its possible causes and the negative consequences it causes: neglect of family and friendly responsibilities, feelings of emptiness, depression, hiding the truth from family members, problems with learning.The results of an experimental study of barriers to interpersonal communication, the dominant barrier and the extent of its impact on everyday communication are highlighted. The levels of Internet dependence of respondents were also studied. The results of the study of the levels of subjective experience of loneliness are demonstrated. Statistical data processing was performed in order to identify correlations between the studied phenomena. The expediency of using the method of psychodrama as one of the most effective methods of overcoming barriers to interpersonal communication is proposed and substantiated. Psychodrama is a method of group psychotherapy, which consists in acting out by members of a psychotherapeutic group scenes from their lives, in which, in particular, conflict or traumatic situations can be reproduced.

The article presents the results of field experiments and field tests of wave technology for bottomhole cleaning and clogging of permeable formations. Acceleration of well construction time and avoidance of plugging (especially in gas wells) is extremely important nowadays. It is widely acknowledged that rock fractures occur due to the alternating motion of the flushing fluid, and it has significant implications for accelerating drilling processes and maintaining wellbore stability. This can be achieved through the wave motion of the flushing fluid. The experiments were conducted on a specialized installation that simulates downhole conditions, enabling the modeling of downhole processes. We created and tested various designs of wave generators to flush holes of bits with different types and sizes. Experimental evidence suggests that wave technology can aid in bottomhole cleaning and the creation of a colmatation screen. The wave action helps to keep the bottomhole zone and well walls clean, and significantly reduces the penetration of drilling fluid filtrate into the rock. The use of wave technology for bottomhole cleaning and permeable formation ringing shows great potential for oil and gas well construction. The sealing of the borehole space is crucial in the construction of Underground Gas Storage facilities.
