A View from the Dunghill: Learning Forbearance in a Synodal Church
Authors: McMahon Christopher
Published: January 2024

Many conservative Catholics in the US have managed to project an aura of orthodoxy and submission to the Magisterium even as they move the Catholic Church to identify more firmly with neo-conservative and free-market political movements. By outlining this “masked dissent” (portraying itself as radical fidelity to the Magisterium) and bringing the ecclesiological insights of Joseph Komonchak to bear on the assessment of this new form of dissent, this article outlines the limits of reception and dissent in the life of the church and suggest that a shift to a more collaborative and consultative polity, such as the exploration of a “synodal way” currently explored at the Synod of Bishops, supplies a way forward in keeping with the very nature of the church which nevertheless requires a dramatic shift in the popular understanding of authority and teaching. This shift in polity holds the promise of promoting an authentically catholic unity, providing space for the “forbearance” of certain kinds of dissent as the Pilgrim Church waits on God’s voice, even if the latter provides no clear resolution, as in the case of the biblical story of Job.

Authors: Abbadi Renad , Kreishan Lana , Al-Saidat Emad M
Published: January 2024

In the context of war, political speeches employ emotionally charged language in the form of linguistic devices, in an attempt to persuade the audience and appeal to their emotions. This study examines how the Russia-Ukraine War was presented by Russian President Vladimir Putin, US President Joe Biden, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. This study identifies the linguistic features as well as the rhetorical strategies employed in the three presidential speeches which reflect the power and dominance of the conflicting parties in the Russia-Ukraine war. Therefore, a critical discourse analysis of three presidential speeches on the Russia-Ukraine War was conducted. The study analyzed and compared the use of vocabulary, semantic structure, grammatical devices, and rhetorical strategies used by the three presidents to reveal the extent of language manipulation and ideologies in the context war. The study revealed the power of language in political speeches in three different narratives of the war. The findings of this study indicate that word choice, grammatical structures, and rhetorical devices were employed to evoke public emotions, to reflect power and influence beliefs, attitudes, and ideologies. The study revealed that language manipulation is clearly evident through the use of linguistic strategies such as powerful word choices, pronouns, modals, tenses etc., as well as emotional and logical appeals in the form of rhetorical strategies.

Standard microbiological procedures were used for the isolation and identification of the Salmonella enterica isolates. Salmonella strains resistant to quinolone antibiotics were tested and screened for according to CLSI standards for antibiotic susceptibility testing. employing qnrA, qnrB, and qnrs-specific primers in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to identify qnr genes. The findings showed that 22 strains (59%) contained the qnr S gene, found that both the qnrA and qnrS genes were present in 7 strains (18%) of Salmonella. Two isolates (5%) had qnrB gene positive tests, while 11 strains did not have any stribany qnr genes at all. This approach allowed us to verify that the Quinolones genes are diluted throughout the examined salmonella strains.
Total Shortening Estimates Across the Western Greater Caucasus Mountains from Balanced Cross Sections and Area Balancing
Authors:   Earthquake Science Center, U.S. Geological Survey, Moffett Field, CA, Trexler Charles , Cowgill Eric , Vasey Dylan , Niemi Nathan
Published: January 2024

The Greater Caucasus orogen forms the northern edge of the Arabia-Eurasia collision zone. Although the orogen has long been assumed to exhibit dominantly thick-skinned style deformation via reactivation of high-angle extensional faults, recent work suggests the range may have accommodated several hundred kilometers or more of shortening since its ~30 Ma initiation, and this shortening may be accommodated via thin-skinned, imbricate fan-style deformation associated with underthrusting and/or subduction. However, robust shortening estimates based upon surface geologic observations are lacking. Here we present line-length and area balanced cross sections along two transects across the western Greater Caucasus that provide minimum shortening estimates of 130-200 km. These cross sections demonstrate that a thin-skinned structural style provides a viable explanation for the structure of the Greater Caucasus, and highlight major structures that may accommodate additional, but unconstrained, shortening.

Authors: Hermane Agnese , Kunda Ilona
Published: January 2024

European cities compete for the status of the European Capital of Culture (ECoC), as it is proven to enhance city visibility and the profile of cultural events in the city; it also allows addressing issues of strategic cultural development of the successful candidate. Importantly, the status comes with an explicit requirement to ensure sufficient public participation in developing the bid and implementing the cultural programme. Prior research demonstrates that meaningful participation is not easy to achieve; the research on that aspect is considered scarce.
The article aims to analyse the interpretation of public participation, its challenges and shaping factors as seen by ECoC bid-producing teams. The main research question is “What did the bid development process uncover about the capacity of bid-producing teams to foster public participation in the Latvian cities – ECoC finalists?”
The current paper examines the challenge of participation encountered in the process of developing the bid for the second round of ECoC 2027 by three applying cities in Latvia. The study was carried out between October 2022 and March 2023 using qualitative methodology. The theoretical starting point of the study is the four-part framework of factors influencing participation by Kaifeng Yang and Sanjay K. Pandey [Yang & Pandey 2011]. The study suggests that these factors are indeed useful in conducting an analysis of participation. In addition, the study supports the prior conclusions of scholarly literature pointing out that more nuanced language is needed to interpret participation and participants. The article pays special attention to the nuances of digital participation and the organisational characteristics of the public body in charge of participation in cultural planning.

The traditional teaching of Anatomy requires the use of cadaveric pieces that are often difficult to obtain, preserve and maintain. In this sense, additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, can be a useful tool since it makes it possible to produce synthetic models from real anatomical structures. The main goal of this work was to develop anatomical models of an ovine stomach by 3D modeling and printing. A conserved ovine stomach was computed tomography scanned and the anatomical images obtained were reconstructed from the DICOM files using the InVesalius software and used for modeling and printing anatomical models in reduced scale with their peculiar anatomical characteristics. Three models were defined to represent the external and internal morphology: i. closed stomach; ii. stomach opened laterally, and iii. stomach cut sagitally. All models were printed on polylactic acid (PLA) by extrusion material process on an Ender 5 Pro printer. The models produced were adequate since they allowed observing details of the external and internal morphology of the ovine stomach. In addition, these models are presented as an innovative approach to anatomical study when combined with real organs.

Authors: Özçay Batuhan , Azar Serhat , Topçu Elif Erzan
Published: January 2024

Today, engineers use many computer programs and applications to model and analyze engineering problems. However, the demand for user-friendly interfaces and web-based applications is increasing daily to select the appropriate system components according to different working conditions and to evaluate the results comparatively. Also, most of these interfaces calculate the actuators' size and are mostly developed by foreign manufacturers. Nowadays, with the increase in energy costs, the demand for the use of energy-saving products is also increasing. Therefore, examining and comparing the energy consumption of the actuator elements used in the systems depending on the work done is necessary.

In this study, the authors discussed the issue of developing an interface that can define the appropriate size of actuators for the different operating conditions, such as different loads, slopes, friction, opposite load, and speed, and enable comparative energy consumption according to these elements for electro-pneumatic and servo motor driven ball screw shaft driven actuator types.

As technology develops, so does the demand for products that make our lives easier. Cordless stick vacuum cleaners are one of these products and have become increasingly popular in recent years particularly for the convenience of being cordless. However, there are many factors affecting battery life and vacuum performance of cordless stick cleaners, the most important of these factors is the heating of the battery. One solution to this problem is a design that aims to reduce the battery temperature and increase the vacuum performance of the cleaner by directing some of the outlet air from the motor to the battery pack. Tests were carried out with the air flow path closed and the air flow path open. As a result of the tests, it was observed that the battery performance and usage performance increased by approximately 30% when the air flow path was open.

Published: January 2024

Hydraulic rotary actuators are actuators that enable the piston, which is moved linearly by hydraulic fluid, to rotate the shaft to which it is connected through an involute gear system inside and outside, between certain angles. In this study, hydrostatic bearing that use a fluid film for load support and movement precision in rotary actuators is implemented in place of standard bearing. These bearings work on the principle of hydrostatic lubrication, in which oil is pressurized and used to separate the surfaces from each other. In this way, it minimizes friction and wear, increases the efficiency and life time of the machine in which it is used. This article provides a brief overview of Hydrostatic bearing systems and hydrostatic bearing brake system and focuses on our work at HKTM on the application of these systems in rotary actuator.Mathematical modeling, flow analysis and structural design have been carried out in this study. By mathematical modelling, design parameters of the hydrostatic bearing under a determined load, such as film thickness, land length, orifice diameter of capillary restrictor, and operating parameters such as supply pressure, pad pressures, stiffness and flow rate have also been determined. Flow analyses have been performed to verify the fluid flow in the hydrostatic bearing and the required pressure within the bearing. This paper provides a detailed description of our research findings and conclusions.

Factors associated with hand grip strength in martial arts
Authors: Bajkowski Dariusz
Published: January 2024

Backgound: Handgrip strength is an important metric used in sports and helps measure athletes' conditions. It is affected by many factors, including athletes’ age, body weight, skills, or years of training. Unfortunately, at least in martial arts, associations among those factors are not apparent. Methods: In the study, 178 athletes training in martial arts (Jujitsu and Karate) were evaluated for their age, years of training, body weight, and skills (belt grade). HGS was measured via the dynamometric measurement of hand force. Moderation analysis was employed to evaluate the relationships between athletes’ body weight and handgrip strength and between athletes’ skills and handgrip strength. Results:It was shown that athletes’ body weight and HGS are moderated preferentially by athletes’ age and then by years of training. It was demonstrated that HGS could be improved by athletes younger than 52 years old. Years of training also moderate the relationship, but the moderation is limited to 39 years of training. The relationship between athletes’ skills and HGS is illustrated by moderated moderation, where triple interaction among skills, age and years of training can explain an additional 12.9% of the HGS variance. Conclusions: The presented study may be used to evaluate relationships between numerous variables associated with HGS and could be vital for constructing statistical models for trainers' purposes.
