Re-thinking agents of empire: The role of the United Nations in the Indonesian occupation of West Papua
Authors: Alessio Dominic , Alessio Imogen
Published: March 2024

The years post-World War II were not necessarily a period of independence for everyone. This is especially the case for a number of Pacific locales, West Papua in particular, wherein one colonial power seems to have merely been switched for another. What is more, this takeover was done with the connivance of the United Nations (UN), a non-state agency which, following World War II, was designed to maintain the peace. By way of the 1969 UN-brokered Act of Free Choice, the peoples of this former Dutch colony were instead subjected to an invading Indonesian military and colonial culture. This work, whilst not only drawing attention to an under-discussed process of recolonization in the Pacific, focuses upon another, albeit overlooked method by which empires can be created, namely by way of a non-state agency. In doing so it critiques theories of empire that concentrate primarily upon large state-led entities characterized by physical conquest. Whilst it is true that big state-led powers with vast military forces bent on conquering other sovereign states are the most easily discernible of empires, we argue that this is only one type and that colonialism needs to be differentiated. We suggest that other actors, including non-state players such as private companies, religious organizations, filibusters and now, as emphasized here, international/inter-governmental organizations, should be scrutinized too.
Photography and the glitch
Authors: Mangalanayagam Nina , Wolthers Louise
Published: March 2024

Within the last decade, a growing number of artists, media activists and theorists have been engaged with the potential of the glitch – with processes and aesthetics that arise from visual errors in digital technologies. But glitches also offer clues to understanding normative knowledge and power systems, and to challenge these. This is relevant in critical approaches to photography and its historical role in forming, controlling and colonizing systems as well as conventional understandings of the medium as a transparent window onto the world/reality. In this introduction we outline our approach to the glitch in the artistic and curatorial research project ‘Photography and the Glitch’, to which the contributors to this issue have contributed in various ways.
Television Series as a Didactic Tool in the Initial Training of Secondary School Teachers
Authors: Palomero-Fernández Pablo , Coma-Roselló Teresa , Íñiguez-Berrozpe Tatiana
Published: March 2024

Within the context of Pre-Service Secondary Teacher Education, skills development (PSTE) requires, among other things, the cultivation of critical thinking among future teachers, who must also acquire conflict prevention and resolution skills. To this end, the students of a master’s degree in Secondary School Teacher Training at a Spanish University were asked to analyse, in small groups, the conflicts featured in a television series. The research objective was to learn more about trainee teachers’ opinions regarding this methodology. The results indicate that they had favourable opinions about this method and were highly satisfied with the learning process and with the teamwork. Significant differences according to sex and age were observed. This suggests that forming more heterogeneous work groups in the future would be a good idea. The results also suggest that critical thinking was a good predictor of student satisfaction with the methodology. It would, therefore, be a good idea to develop critical thinking in more depth during PSTE.
Inquietações de professoras iniciantes em turmas de alfabetização
Authors: Fernandes Ingrid Cristina Barbosa , Cruz Giseli Barreto da
Published: March 2024

O artigo aborda constatações de uma pesquisa com professores em inserção profissional que atuam em classes de alfabetização, tendo por fio condutor as inquietações docentes que permeiam esse período. Assim, teve por objetivo compreender como as inquietações de professores alfabetizadores afetam sua docência durante o período de inserção na carreira, delimitado em torno dos cinco primeiros anos de exercício profissional. Desse modo, orientou-se pela via da pesquisa com narrativa, apoiada por referencial teórico sobre alfabetização e inserção profissional docente, dentre eles: Goulart, Smolka, Cochran-Smith e Marcelo, e seus colaboradores. Participaram da pesquisa seis professoras com atuação em turmas de alfabetização, recém-egressas de um curso de Pedagogia e iniciantes na carreira docente. A partir de um movimento de identificação e análise das inquietações de professoras iniciantes referentes ao processo de alfabetização e suas formas de enfrentamento, foi possível verificar que essas se manifestam com mais intensidade em relação à heterogeneidade das turmas, aos conflitos e ao comportamento discente e à inexperiência profissional. Logo, a postura investigativa, a realização de propostas diferenciadas considerando o ritmo e as necessidades das crianças e a troca entre os pares emergiram como formas de enfrentamento das inquietações que se inscreveram em uma perspectiva de tornar a aprendizagem significativa para todos.
Jornadas formativas híbridas, invertidas e (signific)ativas no ensino superior: aportes para pensar atividades síncronas
Authors: Oliveira Achilles Alves de , Mill Daniel , Ferreira Marcello
Published: March 2024

A partir do início de 2020, a pandemia de Covid-19 instituiu importantes demandas e acelerou drásticas e abruptas transformações no contexto educacional. No ensino superior, e particularmente na esfera pública, foram adotadas estratégias formativas emergenciais singulares, em geral, estruturadas em experiências baseadas em princípios de educação a distância (EaD) e ensino híbrido. Na Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCar), um modelo dessa natureza (denominado Ensino Não Presencial Emergencial – ENPE) foi provoca­do e desenvolvido em resposta ao contexto pandêmico. Neste artigo, relata-se, avalia-se e reflete-se acerca da experiência de 2020/2 na disciplina de Política, Organização e Gestão da/na Educação Básica (POGEB), tomada como uma configuração possível para atividades pedagógicas em ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem (AVA). Por escopo e para aprofundamento, esta analítica restringe-se à dimensão síncrona da oferta, baseada em webconferências, complementarmente à análise já empreendida acerca da dimensão assíncrona em ambiente virtual de aprendizagem. Como resultado, são apresentados aportes para pensar e realizar atividades pedagógicas síncronas coerentes com jornadas formativas na perspectiva de uma aprendizagem ou sala de aula invertida, flexível, híbrida, ativa e significativa. Importante observar que os elementos registrados na experiência corroboram as reflexões teóricas apresentadas, entretanto, apesar dos aspectos positivos identificados, remanescem desafios importantes em relação à adoção de estratégias didáticas de mediação síncrona no ensino superior.
Análise multimodal de vídeos: contribuições da Teoria da Objetivação para a pesquisa sobre formação de professores que ensinam Matemática
Authors: Moretti Vanessa Dias , Radford Luis
Published: March 2024

O texto apresenta e discute as contribuições metodológicas da Teoria da Objetivação (TO) para a análise multimodal de vídeos na pesquisa sobre formação de professores que ensinam matemática. Na primeira parte do texto, com base na teoria histórico-cultural e na Teoria da Objetivação e suas implicações para a pesquisa, o uso do vídeo é apresentado como estratégia metodológica de captura e análise de dados coerente com uma compreensão de aprendizagem como atividade humana coletiva e processo de tomada de consciência dos sujeitos. Na segunda parte, são discutidos exemplos desse tipo de análise em dados de pesquisa desenvolvida pelos autores acerca do desenvolvimento do pensamento algébrico de professores. Conclui-se que a análise multimodal - imagens, registros orais e escritos, gesto etc. - proposta pela TO, na qual diferentes recursos semióticos são analisados como um todo dialético, oferece um caminho para a melhor compreensão dos processos formativos de professores. Ao subsidiar a análise minuciosa dos elementos que impactam a aprendizagem docente evidencia-se o processo de tomada de consciência do significado matemático em jogo o que, por sua vez, supera cada registro analisado de forma independente. A transposição da metodologia da TO para a formação de professores que ensinam matemática é inédita, uma vez que essa teoria tem sido utilizada para compreender a aprendizagem de estudantes em aula. No campo de formação de professores ainda há muito potencial a ser explorado acerca da abordagem metodológica pautada na TO, o que justifica a relevância da proposta de análise de vídeos apresentada nesse texto.

Authors: Custódio Iris Aparecida , Nacarato Adair Mendes
Published: March 2024

O presente texto, recorte de uma investigação de doutorado, na modalidade pesquisa narrativa, visa identificar e discutir o trabalho colaborativo, por meio de uma parceria entre professoras que ensinam matemática como instrumento de desenvolvimento profissional. Essa investigação foi realizada em uma sala de aula de 3.º ano do Ensino Fundamental, de uma escola pública municipal do estado de São Paulo, em que a pesquisadora, professora de matemática, estabeleceu uma parceria com a professora pedagoga, responsável pela turma. A produção de dados ocorreu de março a julho de 2017, período em que pesquisadora e professora parceira, em uma perspectiva colaborativa, planejaram, desenvolveram, registraram, avaliaram, replanejaram tarefas voltadas às noções espaciais e refletiram sobre elas. As aulas foram videogravadas, os momentos de planejamento de tarefas e análise de registros audiogravados e posteriormente transcritos e transformados em episódios interativos. Tomando referenciais da perspectiva histórico-cultural, das ideias bakhtinianas e da pesquisa narrativa, assume-se o desenvolvimento profissional como decorrente de aprendizagens construídas de forma alteritária, nas diferentes interações que o professor estabelece no exercício da profissão. O texto, a partir de episódios que compreendem momentos de interação entre professora parceira e pesquisadora ou entre elas e as crianças, traz indícios de como os processos intersociais e reflexivos das professoras parceiras promoveram aprendizagens e possível desenvolvimento profissional.

The Importance of the Development of Industry in Romania and Its Development Potential
Authors: Kocsis Lóránt Zsombor
Published: March 2024

The first part of the study details the importance of industry in the economy in general, but it is worth nothing without continuous technological development. This is supported by classical and unquestionable theories, followed by statistical data and macroeconomic indicators to demonstrate their practical relevance. The realistic data will clearly show that countries with a strong industrial base and a strong focus on development in their economic structure will have a steady advantage over other countries on the international stage. The structure of the industry in Romania, its main areas, and the industrial characteristics of the regions will then be presented, as well as the economic differences between industrialised and less industrialised areas. The study shows that industry and R&D are the basis for economic growth and development, as they are also the basis for services. Romania is in a very special situation, as it has all the potential and resources to build and develop the industry, but the mentality of the past system still leaves its mark on how to exploit its potential. Of course, industry and its development require a considerable amount of capital, knowledge, and know-how. For this, European Union funds offer considerable opportunities, and the operational programmes that provide this type of support, both to the private sector and to public institutions, are presented in detail. At the end of the study, it will be clear what industry and R&D mean for economic growth, what the situation and characteristics of the Romanian industry are, and what financial resources are available for the implementation and development of industrial activities.
Adjoint Optimization of an Airfoil for Light STOL Freighter Aircraft
Authors: Belda M. , Hyhlík T.
Published: March 2024

An airfoil's lift coefficient (Cγ) is a critical parameter determining the amount of payload an aircraft can carry. The lift-to-drag (L/D) ratio then determines the fuel efficiency and range with a defined payload. For those reasons, it is beneficial to optimize the airfoil used on the wings of an aircraft. In this paper, the adjoint optimization of the Cγ of an airfoil for light freighter aircraft is discussed. The CASA C-212 Aviocar aircraft with its NACA 65(3)-218 airfoil was chosen for the optimization. The optimization uses the assumptions of inviscid incompressible potential flow, allowing the use of the panel method for flow solution. Verification computations imply, that the optimization results are relevant even in the compressible and viscous flow.
Numerical Study of the Steady Airflow in the Human Respiratory System During Inhaling and Exhaling
Authors: Lancmanová A. , Bodnár T.
Published: March 2024

This paper presents some of the initial results of the numerical simulations of a steady turbulent flow in human upper airways during inhalation and exhalation. The mathematical model is based on the system of Reynolds-Averaged incompressible Navier-Stokes equations complemented by the SST k − ω turbulence model. The simulations were performed using finite-volume open source solver OpenFOAM on a realistic three-dimensional geometry. The main aim of this particular study is to verify the computational setup with special focus on appropriate choice and implementation of boundary conditions. The prescribed boundary conditions are chosen to mimic the physiological conditions during normal breathing cycle. This study aims to gain an insight into the airflow behavior during the inhalation and exhalation process by comparing the results of two distinct simulations corresponding to two different (opposite) flow rates . The obtained local flow rates and flow fields for both cases are presented and mutually compared. This initial work should serve as a foundation for future more complex simulations that will include the time-dependent and compressible effects.

Comparison of Two Transition Models Modified for Low Free-Stream Turbulence
Authors: Příhoda J. , Fürst J. , Straka P.
Published: March 2024

The contribution deals with numerical simulations of the laminar/turbulent transition in two-dimensional flows at relatively low free-stream turbulence by means of two transition models - the algebraic transition model coupled with the EARSM turbulence model and the three-equation k-kL-ωmodel. Further, the relation between the free-stream turbulence and the maximum amplification factor necessary for the use of the eN method was adjusted using the XFOIL code. The both modified transition models were verified by means of flows on the flat plate and around airfoils with the transition in attached and separated flows. The eN method was used for the comparison. All tested modifications of transition models give an acceptable agreement with the experimental results.
Theoretical and Engineering Aspects of Mass Exchange through a Permeable Streamlined Surface
Authors: Shkvar Ye. , Kryzhanovskiy A. , Kandume J. , Islam M.
Published: March 2024

The subject of the study is mass transfer through a permeable surface in the form of blowing and suction, both individually and in various combinations, which is one of the most effective and promising methods for controlling turbulent wall flows. However, the practical feasibility of this delicate technology requires its careful adaptation to the mode of intended functioning, including taking into account the negative impact of real weather conditions. Particular attention is paid to such configurations as the wing section (airfoil) and the body of revolution (fuselage). Based on CFD and experimental techniques, several typical geometric and regime configurations of this method implementation were studied and analysed. The results obtained allow to identify a number of priority directions for improving the efficiency of turbulent boundary layer control in the expected operating conditions.
Features of Controlling the Vortex Flow Structure Using a Pair of Different Geometry Dimples
Authors: Voropaiev G. , Baskova O.
Published: March 2024

This paper presents the results of a numerical study of the effects of a non-isothermal vortex flow generated by a profiled surface on the thermal and hydraulic parameters of the flow. Three variants of the dimples geometry are examined at the constant value of the Reynolds number. During direct numerical simulation, the influence of the dimples geometry onto the additional resistance of the flow surface and thermal energy efficiency were determined. It is shown that direct variation of these parameters can improve the efficiency of the profiled surface.
The role of the calcium-sensing receptor in the regulation of parathyroid hormone secretion in physiology and in calcitropic diseases
Authors: Marmalyuk D. A. , Runova G. E. , Fadeyev V. V.
Published: March 2024

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) plays a key role in the regulation of calcium-phosphate metabolism. The secretion of PTH is regulated by calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR), which primarily expressed in the parathyroid glands and the renal tubules of the kidney. Increase of calcium concentration in extracellular matrix of cells is causing activation of the CaSR. Activated CaSR inhibits secretion of PTH and increases urinary calcium excretion. All CaSR effects leads to prevent development of hypercalcemia complications. Downregulation of the CASR expression and/or altered CaSR functioning leads to dysregulation of PTH synthesis. It may be the underlying cause of the development of primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism, as well as a number of hereditary diseases associated with loss- and gain-of-function mutations of the CaSR. In this paper we discusses the function of the CaSR in physiology and also the potential mechanisms that can impaired CaSR-induced signaling in various calcitropic diseases.
Results of bisphosphonate withdrawal: duration of antiresorptive activity, fractures, changes in BMD and bone turnover markers
Authors: Belova K. Yu. , Ershova O. B. , Skripnikova I. A.
Published: March 2024

The review discusses the possibility of discontinuation of bisphosphonates (BPs), based on the mechanism of action of the drugs, the duration of their antiresorptive activity, criteria for discontinuation and return to therapy. BPs have a unique feature – maintaining the clinical effect for a long time after their withdrawal. Since BPs therapy is carried out for a long time, their accumulation in bone tissue, on the one hand, and the risk of developing severe adverse events, on the other hand, gave rise to discussion on the concept of temporary withdrawal of drugs and the organization of «drug holidays». The main criteria that are relied upon in the question of discontinuation of BPs and re-prescription at present are: 1) the risk of developing new fractures, 2) changes in bone mineral density (BMD), 3) dynamics of markers of bone metabolism. The conducted studies suggest that the suspension of treatment after 3-5 years of continuous therapy with BPs is possible in women who do not have low BMD indicators at the end of the course of therapy, while with continuing low levels of BMD, additional benefits from continuing therapy are likely. The loss of bone mass in the proximal femur and its preservation in the spine 2 years after discontinuation of BPs treatment is explained by their different localization and longer-term effect on bone metabolism in the spongy bone, i.e. in the spine. Delivery and absorption of BPs in the spine may be more intense than in other parts of the skeleton. Tracking the level of markers during a break in the treatment of BPs can be useful to determine the time of resumption of therapy: if their concentration approaches the baseline (before treatment), the patient’s condition should be reassessed and the issue of resuming therapy should be discussed. It should be noted that the optimal duration of «drug holidays» has not been established and should be selected individually depending on clinical circumstances, taking into account the presence of fractures, a significant decrease in BMD or an increase in markers of bone metabolism, as well as the presence and/or appearance of new clinically significant risk factors.
Self-assessment of the characteristics of nurses' work environment and psychometric analysis of the Slovene-language version of the Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI)

Published: March 2024

Introduction: Measures to improve nurses' work environments include ensuring adequate staffing levels, recognising the importance of nursing work, involving nurses in decision-making processes, and improving interprofessional communication. The aim of this study was to analyse the job characteristics reported by nurses and their association with the dimensions of clinical practice environments in hospitals.Methods: A cross-sectional explorative research design was employed. The Slovene-language version of the Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI(SI)) and data on nurses' job characteristics were used. A total of 1,010 nurses (403 general care nurses and 605 healthcare assistants) from ten Slovenian general hospitals participated in the study. Permission to conduct the research was granted by the Commission of the Republic of Slovenia for Medical Ethics.Results: The mean score of the PES-NWI(SI) was low (2.64), and the scale reliability was 0.937. The original theoretical five-factor structure was confirmed. The regression model explained the five factors in 26–47% of cases. The explanatory variables included opportunities for advancement, educational opportunities, professional status, satisfaction with current job and work environment, independence at work, and study leave.Discussion and conclusion: The study revealed managers' inadequate ability to ensure sufficient staffing, insufficient involvement of both respondents and managers in hospital affairs, and the lack of promotion opportunities. Creating an optimal work environment for nurses is an important task for managers and leaders. National healthcare policy must consider nurses as equal healthcare professionals and nursing as both a professional and scientific discipline.
STRENGTH-BASED PARENTING, SELF-COMPASSION, AND THE URGE TO SELF-INJURE IN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Authors: Sumargi Agnes Maria , Engry Agustina , Julianti Ratna Josephine Maria , Variani Joana
Published: March 2024

University students might experience emotional problems leading to self-injury during the COVID-19 pandemic due to negative relationships with their parents at home. However, strength-based parenting (SBP) can be a protective factor for self-injury. Previous studies showed that SBP had a positive correlation with self-compassion, but no study investigated the effect of SBP and self-compassion on the urge to self-injure. This present study aimed to examine if self-compassion mediated the relationship between SBP and the urge to self-injure. Participants were 193 university students in Surabaya aged 18-21 years old (M = 19.92; SD = 1.21), 86.5% was female. They were recruited voluntarily and asked to complete a series of questionnaire online, consisting of the Strength-Based Parenting Scale, Self-Compassion Scale, and the Alexian Brothers Urge to Self-Injure Scale. Mediation analysis was performed using PROCESS Macro for SPSS. Result showed that SBP was not directly related to the urge to self-injure, t(190) = 0.84, p = .40 (ns), but self-compassion mediated the relationship, ab = -0.93 [-1.30, -0.57]. SBP positively influenced self-compassion, a = 0.17, t(191) = 5.70, p < .001, and self-compassion negatively influenced the urge to self-injure, b = -5.49, t(192) = -8.74, p < .001. Further exploration revealed that self-judgment and over-identification influenced the urge to self-injure, t(186) = -3.35, p < .01 and t(186) = -1.98, p < .05, respectively. Therefore, self-compassion trainings and activities to reduce self-criticism and to identify negative thoughts or feelings might play an important role in preventing and overcoming the urge to self-injure in university students.

Published: March 2024

The problem was at a for-profit private institution in the year 2015-2016, 25% or 35 of the 142 students who withdrew from the university were from the School of Health Sciences. The purpose was to investigate the psychosocial factors that influenced retention in female students enrolled in online degree programs. The generic research design was the descriptive-survey design. Participants were 35 female undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in online degree programs. The data collection instrument was the Survey of Female Adult Learners’ Psychosocial Factors Related to Retention-Adapted. Data analysis for the two research questions included the computation of descriptive statistics (means, standard deviations, frequencies, and percentages) and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Findings for Research Question 1 suggested specific psychosocial factors were critical to retention in online degree programs. For instance, 71.43% of students reported the psycho-social factor, I am a capable person, and 62.86% reported the psycho-social factor; with my ability, I will be able to succeed; were critical to retention. Findings for Research Question 2 indicated that, even though there were differences in the mean scores for the marital status subgroups (not married-single, divorced, and never married). ANOVA showed the differences were not statistically significant, F (1, 33) =.21, p=.65, partial eta squared =.006, for the marital status subgroups.

Giving Space to the Tabooed Trauma: Sofia Taikon’s Testimony in Katitzi Z-1234 and Sofia Z-4515
Authors: Hertrampf Marina Ortrud M.
Published: March 2024

Repression and concealment of one of the worst traumatic experiences of the 20th century affects Europe’s largest minority in a massive way. In contrast to the Shoa, the Porajmos is little known to many people of both the majority and the minority. Often repressed as a taboo, breaking the silence about this trauma is of central relevance for the self-confidence of the Roma, especially those born afterwards. In fact, in the case of victims and their children and grandchildren, there is a tension between repression and concealment on the one hand and the need to overcome trauma on the other. Using the example of two educational works for young minority and majority readers in which the painful memories of Polish Romani Sofia Taikon, born Brzezinska, are fictionalised, the article illustrates how this tension is dealt with and how space is given to the long-tabooed trauma.
Menachem Kaiser’s Quest for Family Heirloom and the Aftermath of Historical Trauma
Authors: Basiuk Tomasz
Published: March 2024

Menachem Kaiser’s Plunder: A Memoir of Family Property and Nazi Treasure (2021) critiques the generic limitations of the “3G” (third-generation) memoir by pointing to its frequently sentimental tenor and facile epiphanies, perpetuated by the publishing market. Plunder focuses instead on material traces of the past and on Kaiser’s effort to reclaim property left behind by his relatives in Poland. This approach allows Kaiser to address the aftermath of historical trauma without vicariously identifying with Holocaust victims or survivors.
Dead Rescuers: The Commemoration of Poles Who Lost Their Lives Saving Jews During the Second World War
Authors: Łysak Tomasz
Published: March 2024

After their electoral victory in 2015, the Law and Justice party started a counter-revolution in historical policy, intended to undermine critical historiography on the Holocaust. As a result, “dead rescuers,” Poles who lost their lives saving Jews during the Second World War, are commemorated by a host of institutions: a government-sponsored research institute, museums, and the Catholic Church. This commemoration borrows its aesthetics from earlier practices established in Holocaust memory: post-traumatic architecture, lists of victims, and micro-history to boost national pride and defend the good name of Poland abroad. Memory actors receive financial support from the government, becoming a mouthpiece for its reclaiming of the past for ethnonationalist ends.
Türkiye's Health Diplomacy Activities: A Qualitative Research
Authors: Çam Sıddıka , Eke Erdal
Published: March 2024

Health diplomacy is a field that facilitates the implementation and governance of global health policies. Assisting, such as transferring expertise, experience, and human and medical equipment to different countries, constitutes the content of health diplomacy. The main argument of this study is that Türkiye provides official development assistance abroad, establishes and operates health enterprises, and provides medical rescue and emergency health services in disasters and emergencies. For this reason, it has been tried to reveal Türkiye's perception of health diplomacy, how the health service process is carried out across the border, and the possible contributions of these services. A case study design was used to examine Türkiye's health diplomacy process. In this context, interviews were conducted with the public (n=1) and non-governmental organization personnel (n=8). The research findings were evaluated within the framework of four main themes: perception of health diplomacy, difficulties experienced in the health diplomacy process, solutions to the difficulties encountered in the health diplomacy process, and contributions of health diplomacy. The perception of health diplomacy is fieldwork, experience transfer, support, joint action, foreign policy, soft power, and health priority. In the process of health service delivery, it has been determined that there are difficulties in terms of medical equipment, service delivery, personnel, and politics, and these difficulties are tried to be solved through cooperation, communication, and other means. It has been concluded that health diplomacy contributes to the health of the recipient country or region and supports employment with newly opened health institutions. In addition, it was determined that Turkish health personnel gained experience, sympathy for Türkiye developed, and prejudices were broken.
The Rise of Christian Democracy in Europe
Authors: Yaman Furkan
Published: March 2024

Avrupa’da kendilerini “Hristiyan Demokrat” olarak tanımlayan partiler Almanya başta olmak üzere birçok devletin parlamentosunda önemli çoğunluklara sahiptir. Hem semavi bir dinin kimliğini taşımaları hem de demokrasinin kendisiyle savaş vermeden modern demokrasilerin içinde var olmaları nedeniyle, Hristiyan Demokrasi anlayışı ilgi çekici özellikler taşımaktadır. İşte Oxford Üniversitesi Siyaset ve Uluslararası İlişkiler Bölümü'nde Profesör olan Stathis Kalyvas’ın The Rise of Christian Democracy in Europe isimli kitabı da bu ilgi çekici özelliklerin -Avrupa’da Hristiyan Demokrasi’nin yükselişinin- tarihsel kökenlerinin seyrini sürmektedir. 19. Yüzyılın sonu ile 20. Yüzyılın başı arasında Hristiyan Demokrat partilerin doğuşu, evrimi ve değişen kimliğini açıklamak üzere bir açıklama ve örüntüsellik getirme amacı güden yazar, diğer birçok Hristiyan demokrasi çalışmasından farklı olarak aktörlerin stratejik kararlarının planlanmamış sonuçlar yarattığı sürece odaklanmış ve bu bakış açısıyla siyasi partiler literatürüne önemli katkı vermiştir. Belçika, Hollanda, Avusturya, İtalya, Almanya ve Fransa örneklerindeki Hristiyan Demokrasinin gelişimini inceleyen kitap, bir giriş, bir sonuç ve beş ana bölümden oluşmaktadır.
The effects of property variation on the dripping behaviour of polymers during UL94 test simulated by particle finite element method
Authors: Turski Silva Diniz Analice , Schartel Bernhard
Published: March 2024

The dripping behaviour of polymers is often observed experimentally through the UL94 flammability standard test. In this work, polymeric dripping under fire is investigated numerically using particle finite element method. A parametric analysis was carried out to observe the influence of a single property on overall dripping behaviour via a UL94 vertical test model. Surrogates and property ranges were defined for variation of the following parameters: glass transition temperature (T
g), melting temperature (T
m), decomposition temperature (T
d), density (ρ), specific heat capacity (Cp), apparent effective heat of combustion of the volatiles, char yield (µ), thermal conductivity (k), and viscosity (η). Polyamide, poly(ether ether ketone), poly(methyl methacrylate), and polysulfone were used as benchmarks. Simulated results showed that specific heat capacity, thermal conductivity, and char yield allied with viscosity were the properties that most influenced dripping behaviour (starting time and occurrence).
On initial data in adjustments of the geometric levelling networks (on the mean of paired observations)
Authors: Cvetkov Vasil
Published: March 2024

There are many systematic errors in the precise levelling measurements. The most of them we have studied and their impact on the final accuracy of levelling is solved by appropriate corrections. The main objective of the current article is to reveal the greatest systematic error in the processing of levelling data, i.e., the use of only the averages of the fore and the back measurements of the elevations in levelling lines as initial data in the adjustment of the highest order levelling networks. Regardless of the type of distribution, simulations of random paired samples reveal that the averages of each pair only up to 33% of all cases are more closely located to the known theoretical expectation with respect to their parents. This fact implies that the collected data are not processed in the best way. In order not to lose information, we adjusted a reduced network of the Third Precise Levelling of Finland network in all possible combinations by the use of the fore, the back, and the mean of each line elevation. As a result, the final accuracy increases more than 10 times in comparison to an adjustment with the use of the averages only.
Analyses of the unavailability dynamics of emergency core cooling system

Published: March 2024

The Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA) studies can be used to evaluate the time-dependence of the safety systems availability. The purpose of this work is to analyze the unavailability dynamics of the Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS). Using the PSA methodology, the ECCS was modeled. In order to show how the unavailability of the system varies as function of time (mission time, test interval and component ageing), sensitivity analyses are carried out. Following these analyses, polynomial functions of ECCS unavailability as function of time have been obtained. These functions allow to estimate the unavailability without modelling other ECCS fault trees being a simplified estimation of the system unavailability. In the same time, taking into account that the ECCS unavailability must be less than 10−2, the best time variations can be established to have the unavailability complied with this criterion. Also, the best time variations could be similarly established for any safety systems having the unavailability less than 10−3.
“How much noise can a human being stand?”
Authors: Bronfman Alejandra
Published: March 2024

This article places noise and sound at the center of an inquiry into the environmental impact of military occupations. Drawing from the example of the US occupation of Culebra, Puerto Rico (1902–75), I argue that conflicts over the impact of noise index epistemological uncertainties about the status of sound as a scientific object of study. Reading the records of the Electro-Acoustic and Psycho-Acoustic Laboratories at Harvard University in the 1940s against a Senate hearing conducted in the 1970s underscores the ways noise as a source of harm was both obvious to civilians in militarized zones and illegible as such to military and government officials. In part this was due to the science of sound itself, which had failed to account for the potential harm of military sound to humans and more than humans alike.
