Résumé. Pendant sa formation doctorale (2011-2015), Gregorio Carboni Maestri a eu accès aux boîtes installées par Kenneth Frampton dans des endroits sécurisés de l’Unversité de Columbia : du matériel accumulé depuis son jeune âge, que Frampton l’a autorisé à étudier et organiser. Cette belle rencontre a permis la naissance des Kenneth Frampton Archives et de compléter leclassement existant des documents qu’elles contiennent, notamment par la création d’un dossier "Existenzminimum". À partir d’une recherche entreprise dans le cadre des 5e journées Bernardo Secchi Existenzminimum, 90 ans du 2e CIAM (Fondation Braillard, septembre 2019, EPFL), quelques écrits placés à l’intérieur de ce dossier, dont l’origine a été retrouvée pendant l’écriture du présent article, sont analysés ici.Abstract. During his doctoral research (2011–2015) Gregorio Carboni Maestri had access to the boxes of equipment Kenneth Frampton had installed in secure places in the University of Columbia and which Kenneth Frampton gave him permission to study and organize. The Kenneth Frampton Archives were born. Gregorio Carboni Maestri decided to continue a preexisting alphabetical organisation: “Aalto” was an already established theme, “Existenzminimum” a sub-heading he created. He analyses here some writings taken from this file, the origin of which was established during the writing of this article, the fruit of research undertaken within the framework of the 5th Bernardo Secchi Existentzminimum, 90 ans du 2e CIAM (Fondation Braillard, September 2019, EPFL).

Published: April 2023

Despite the growing interest to provide research engagement opportunities to undergraduate students, few studies have investigated how engagement “intensity” impacts measures of student success. A quasi-experimental, matched-subject design was employed to study differences between varying levels of research experience intensity (i.e., Experienced, Novice, Control groups) on Graduating GPA, Time to Graduate, and type of post-graduation experience. Results indicated that experienced students had significantly higher graduating GPAs than novice or control students, and both research groups had significantly lower time to graduate than the control group. Findings also indicated experienced student researchers are significantly more likely to progress to graduate school than either novice research or control students. Implications for implementing research initiatives are discussed.
Comparative Analysis of Mega-Regional Trade Agreements in Asia and the Pacific
Authors:   Economic Research Institute FEB RAS, Tomilov Mikhail
Published: April 2023

The article conducts a comparative analysis of the trade mega-formats (mega-regional trade agreements) operating in the Asia-Pacific region (APR) in terms of emerging institutional structures and compliance with existing regulations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). As a result, the hypothesis of basing in the medium term the model of functioning of international trade on the rules and regulations of the emerging integration format of the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) is substantiated, within the framework of which a single trade and economic institutional environment is created, which differs from the functioning environment and organizational structure of the WTO. The high standards set by the CPTPP will determine the rules and regulations of international trade, either through gradual introduction into WTO instruments or by extending the agreement itself to new territories in the process of joining the partnership of the following participants. It is shown that in the medium term it is advisable for the Russian Federation to focus on the integration format of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), free from the geopolitical context and absorbing the main share of mutual trade of countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Potential accession to the CPTPP would require large-scale economic reforms, which could prove quite painful for the country’s economy in the short term. According to the author, the RCEP in its essence and structure is not a mega-regional integration format, but a new large free trade zone without creating a single institutional environment. The main concessions are the reduction of tariff barriers, while in other areas long transition periods are envisaged, allowing for changes without the emergence of shocks in the national economy. This will give Russia the opportunity to expand cooperation with the main trading partners in the region and receive significant economic benefits without resorting to large-scale transformations

Paradygmat krajowego, instytucjonalnego zaangażowania misyjnego na podstawie działalności Prokury Misyjnej Misjonarzy Oblatów Maryi Niepokalanej (1969-2022)
Authors: Wrzos Marcin Jan
Published: April 2023

The Missionary Procuration of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate (1969-2022) is a national institution supporting Oblate, but not only, missionary activity ad gentes. Its structure also includes: Public Association of the Faithful “Friends of the Oblate Missions” (since 1969), Association Oblacka Pomoc Misjom “Lumen Caritatis” (since 2009), the Missionary Roads magazine and website (since 2014), and the Mazenodianum Institute Foundation (since 2021). These institutions, apart from the association of “Friends of the Oblate Missions”, previously operated separately. From the very beginning, the Missionary Procuration has been associated with the basic areas of its activity: providing spiritual and material assistance to missionaries and the works they carry out; supporting the awakening of missionary vocations; propagating the missionary idea both among the clergy and lay people, also through: the activities of the Friends of the Mission, the activities of the “Lumen Caritatis” association, the publishing of the “Missionary Roads” magazine, the www.misacyjne.pl website, books and ephemeral publications, presence in other social media, parish animations and mission retreats, conducting social campaigns, other evangelistic, cultural and scientific events related to the promotion of Oblate missions. The conducted research shows, among others, that: this activity in many of its aspects may be paradigmatic for other national mission institutions (eg WYD or the missionary secretariat of the Divine Word Missionaries work in a similar way). The realities of missionary activity and research have also shown that the centralization of missionary activities in one institutional entity within the religious or diocesan jurisdiction is a better solution than their atomization. The purpose of missionary institutions is not only spiritual and material help for the mission, but also a much wider multifaceted activity; in the activities of ecclesial missionary institutions, both proven and modern missionary tools should be used, and in-depth mission formation, as well as the creation of communities, groups of people engaged in mission is a condition of permanent missionary assistance.
Współczesne formy akomodacji misyjnej na przykładzie Kuby
Authors: Wiński Adam
Published: April 2023

The presented article takes up the issue of missionary accommodation on the example of the Church in Cuba. It is shown in both theoretical (theology, conciliar teaching, papal teaching with special reference to Pope Francis) and practical (consultation with missionaries and the author’s own experience) assumptions. The purpose of the article is to reflect pastorally on the involvement of missionaries in pastoral ministry and to identify the essential accommodative ways used by them. The final conclusions point to the need for missionaries to be creative and open-minded in their search for new ways to evangelize, and to overcome obstacles in the way of proclaiming the Good News.

Objectives

Define the cutoff thresholds of the Kappa (K) and Lambda (L) free light chains (FLC) indices for the detection of intrathecal immunoglobulin synthesis (IIS) using the new K and L FLC ELISA from SEBIA. The reference technique, which is not readily standardized between laboratories, is based on the demonstration of oligoclonal banding (OCB) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) which is absent in serum. For the past 6 years, we have also routinely calculated the K FLC index using The Binding Site (TBS) reagents on an Optilite instrument, an approach increasingly used as an alternative and/or a complement to electrophoretic analysis.

Methods

We analyzed 391 serum/CSF pairs divided into three groups. The first group were cases without OCB and with normal albumin CSF/serum ratio (n=174). The second group were cases with specific OCB (n=73). The last group included patients with increased albumin CSF/sera ratio without OCB (n=142).

Results

Analysis of the first group determined that the cutoffs for detection of IIS are respectively 2.55 and 1.02 for the K FLC and L FLC indices. Of the 73 cases with IIS, only 2 had a K FLC index below this threshold (sensitivity of 97.26%), while 16 out of 73 cases (78.08%) and 13 out of 72 cases (81.94%) had an IgG and L FLC index below the cutoffs, respectively. Additionally, we illustrate equivalent performances for prediction of the presence of OCB between SEBIA and TBS methods.

Conclusions

Sebia K FLC and L FLC assays are adequate alternative methods for the diagnosis of IIS.
Compact dual-band narrowband bandpass filter with small frequency ratio
Authors: Xi Shangjing , Guo Jianying , Jiang Yannan , Xu Kai-Da
Published: April 2023

A compact but very simple dual-band bandpass filter (BPF) based on just five pairs of coupled lines is designed in this paper. It can be examined using the even- and odd-mode method because of its symmetry structure. Six transmissions zeros (TZs) can be obtained and calculated by using input impedance analysis. For demonstration, a dual-band narrowband BPF example with center frequencies at 0.94 and 1.12 GHz is fabricated and measured. The 3-dB fractional bandwidths of two passbands are 2% (0.93–0.95 GHz) and 3.4% (1.1–1.14 GHz), whose frequency ratio of upper-band to lower-band is very small. The measurement results agree with the simulation results, confirming the design process.
Growth of CuO nanoparticles using one step chemical bath deposition under microwave heating and their characterizations
Authors: Rai Ravi Shankar , Bajpai Vivek
Published: April 2023

Varied morphologies of crystalline copper oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using one step chemical bath deposition under microwave heating of prepared growth solution at 1200 W microwave power for a very short duration of 2–8 min. The structure and crystallinity of the as grown copper oxide nanoparticles were studied by wide angle X-ray diffractometer analysis. The particle size values obtained from Scherrer’s relation and the Williamson–Hall plot methods are in the 16–18 nm range. The approximate size of as grown copper oxide nanoparticles evaluated from field emission scanning electron microscopic images are in the range of approximately 15–20 nm. The presence of copper and oxygen was verified by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis. Their weight % and atomic % exhibits the rich amount of development of copper oxide nanoparticles in a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio. The optical properties of as grown copper oxide nanoparticles were examined by assessing absorption spectra of the sample in ultraviolet–visible range. The significant peak of absorption spectra is seen near 340 nm wavelength which explains the mono-dispersion behaviour of nanoparticles. Evaluation of Urbach energy of copper oxide nanoparticles reveals that the nanomaterial has microstructural lattice disorder. These characterizations of as synthesized copper oxide nanoparticles explain the feasibility and potential of such nanomaterial to be incorporated in a wide range of utilities.
Ironic speakers, vigilant hearers
Authors: Mazzarella Diana , Pouscoulous Nausicaa
Published: April 2023

Verbal irony characteristically involves the expression of a derogatory, dissociative attitude. The ironical speaker is not only stating a blatant falsehood or irrelevant proposition; she is also communicating her stance towards its epistemic status. The centrality of attitude recognition in irony understanding opens up the question of which cognitive abilities make it possible. Drawing on Wilson (2009), we provide a full-fledged account of the role of epistemic vigilance in irony understanding and suggest that it relies on the exercise of first- and second-order vigilance towards the content, the ironic speaker as well as the source of the irony.
Examining duration in the imagery dose-response relationship
Authors: Itoh Sho , Morris Tony , Spittle Michael
Published: April 2023

Objectives

Imagery training is an effective technique in sport psychology for skill development and enhancement at various levels of skill performance. Despite its application, there is limited evidence to inform decisions around the appropriate doses of imagery duration for performance enhancement of movement in sport and physical activity. The aim of the present study was to experimentally determine whether different imagery durations (8, 13, and 18 min durations in a session) have differential effects on the performance of free-throw shooting (FTS) in the sport of basketball. We applied a dose-response imagery protocol, in which one imagery variable was varied systematically, while other key dose variables were held constant.

Methods

We recruited 36 male basketball players (M
age=25.17 years SD=4.26) and allocated them to one of three imagery training conditions or a control condition. Participants in the control condition had no imagery training sessions. Imagery repetitions were held constant at 20 repetitions per imagery session with a frequency of 3 imagery sessions per week over four weeks.

Results

The results showed that the 13- and 18-min imagery durations were more effective than the 8-min duration condition for the basketball free-throw shooting. The 13-min condition was significantly higher at post- and retention-test than at pre-test, indicating it was most effective in this study.

Conclusions

The findings of the present study highlight the importance of imagery duration in imagery training design and may inform coaches, sport psychologists, and athletes in designing effective programs for individual athletes.

Axial compression performance of CFST columns reinforced by ultra-high-performance nano-concrete under long-term loading
Authors: Yan Yan , Xing Zhiquan , Chen Xilong , Xie Zhen , Zhang Jiawei , Chen Yu
Published: April 2023

The addition of nano-silica to ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) to increase its toughness has been proposed to obtain ultra-high-performance nano-concrete (UHPNC). This work mainly studies the reinforcement effect of UHPNC on concrete filled steel tube (CFST) columns under long-term load. Ten CFST columns strengthened with UHPNC were selected and reinforced with UHPNC. The influences of different thicknesses of UHPNC reinforcement layer and different nano-silica contents on the axial compression properties of specimens were mainly studied, by loading specimens in two steps: long-term load and ultimate load. This study discussed the failure modes, compressive toughness, ultimate bearing capacity, initial stiffness, and ductility coefficient of the specimens. The results show that the outsourced UHPNC reinforcement method is an effective method to improve the performance of CFST columns during service period. With the increase in the thickness of UHPNC reinforced layer, the ultimate bearing capacity of CFST column increases greatly. The compression toughness is increased with the increase in nano-silica content and UHPNC reinforcement layer thickness. The decrease rate of initial stiffness increases with the increase in nano-silica content.

Authors: Barlak Keti Didem , Muhtaroglu Sabahattin , Yildiz Orhan , Saraçoglu Hatice
Published: April 2023

Objectives

The lack of specific treatment for COVID-19 and the fact that the clinical course differs between individuals makes it difficult to predict the prognosis. The aim was to investigate the prognostic value of total thiol, D-dimer, procalcitonin (PCT), ischemia-modified albumin (IMA), and complete blood count (CBC) in patients hospitalized with COVID-19.

Methods

100 consecutive patients were hospitalized with COVID-19, confirmed by RT-PCR between December 2021-March 2022 and 30 healthy control participated in the study. According to the World Health Organization guideline, two groups were created as critical and non-critical. D-dimer, PCT, IMA, total thiol levels, and CBC were analyzed. Receiver-operating characteristic curves (ROC) were utilized to determine an optimum cut-off value for distinction.

Results

We defined a cut-off value of 1,030 μg/L for D-dimer (Area Under Curve, AUC): 0.691; p=0.001) and 148 μmol/L for total thiol (AUC: 0.749; p<0.001) via ROC analysis. The combination of D-dimer and total thiol reached 65% positive predictive value (PPV) and 80% negative predictive value (NPV).

Conclusions

D-dimer and total thiol may help predict critical patients with COVID-19.

Irving’s Literary Historiography
Authors: Stokes Claudia
Published: April 2023

Claudia Stokes, “Irving’s Literary Historiography” (pp. 195–222)

This essay examines the importance of Washington Irving to modern disciplinary standards of historiography. Today, history and literature are distinct genres requiring different skills, but for centuries history was a recognized form of rhetoric readily available to writers, even those without special qualifications or training. This tradition of history writing proved important to Irving’s early career, and he found great success with his parodic A History of New York (1809). Decades later, he attempted to replicate that success with A Chronicle of the Conquest of Granada (1829), a history of Spain’s campaign to control Granada. However, in the intervening years, historiographical standards had begun to change: historians were now expected to conduct original research and adhere as closely as possible to recorded facts. In accord with these expectations, Irving conducted significant archival research, but he blended this research with literary forms and devices, which included a fictitious narrator and an invented manuscript source. Decades earlier, these devices had rendered A History of New York a success, but critics of Conquest of Granada took issue with Irving’s literariness and accused him of perpetrating a hoax. To nineteenth-century observers, this controversy demonstrated the dangers that literariness posed to history and affirmed the need to separate these two modes. The public response to Irving’s A History of the Conquest of Granada contributed to the modern professionalization of history and modern historiographical standards.
Listening with Elephant Ears
Authors: Boothby Hugo
Published: April 2023

This article addresses Listening with Elephant Ears, a contemporary music composition and performance created by the author together with the Elefantöra (Elephant Ear) ensemble. Elefantöra is a norm-critical music ensemble that includes both disabled and non-disabled musicians. When musicians are defined as disabled, normative assumptions regarding the correct use of musical instruments and expert definitions of good sound generate rehabilitative approaches to music that perpetuate exclusions of ableism. This article examines the intersections that exist between exclusions of ableism and exclusions based on musical virtuosity. It focuses on the ways in which Elefantöra contests both exclusions of ableism and virtuosity in their creative reappropriations of sound technology. Composed in the fall of 2020 as a collaborative artistic research engagement, Listening with Elephant Ears was first performed at the Lund Contemporary Music Festival in Sweden, October 2021. The article draws on ethnographic and sound material generated from my artistic research engagement with Elefantöra. Created during the COVID-19 pandemic, Listening with Elephant Ears actively reappropriates the Zoom video conference software as a music technology. The piece embraces Zoom’s limitations and emphasizes the aesthetic value of the audio distortions and digital interference that Zoom introduces into musical performance. Critiquing regimes of regulation that situate disabled musicians differently to non-disabled musicians, Listening with Elephant Ears applies care as a theoretical perspective from which to reflect critically on rehabilitative approaches to music and the associated exclusions of ableism and musical virtuosity.
Anthropocentric paradigm of modern warfare
Authors: Stegnii Oleksandr
Published: April 2023

Based on the theoretical provisions of the new ecological paradigm in sociology and the methodological approaches of the warfare ecology, the ecological effects of modern warfare are analyzed. It is noted that anthropogenic pressure on the environment during hostilities is returned to society in the form of «environmental returns». It is claimed that the conduct of modern war creates a threat of exceeding the carrying capacity of the environment, transforming the latter from a neutralizer of harmful substances into their producent. It is proposed to consider the concept of «waging war» in the broad context of military activity. The peculiarity of the impact on the environment of military infrastructure objects in the pre-war period is considered in detail. The environmental consequences of various types of active hostilities, as well as the negative environmental effects of the use of modern types of heavy weapons and equipment, are separately analyzed using the example of the Russian-Ukrainian war. It is emphasized that the post-war environmental effects are directly related to the depletion of natural resources, loss of biodiversity, including cases of ecocide, as well as large-scale pollution of air, soil and water. The negative impact of the war on the ecosystems makes it impossible to restore the previous residential and ecological living conditions in the affected territories in the short term.
Cultural identity as a space for experiencing the psychological comfort of an individual
Authors: Shulga Raisa
Published: April 2023

The article examines the relationship between a person's experiences of his/her identity and the state of psychological comfort. The significance of this condition for the person's vital activity is determined. A person is constantly in search of psychological comfort. Among representatives of various disciplines, psychologists pay the most attention to the study of this condition and note the difficulties in its definition. This is connected with the subjective nature of his experience, the personal coloring of the choice of objects that bring the desired pleasure. Identity is considered as a factor capable of satisfying the need to achieve and experience psychological comfort. Approaches to understanding cultural identity as such, the significance of its experience for a person are determined. The connection between the need for such an experience and the achievement of the desired psychological comfort is substantiated. Considerable attention is paid to art as an effective factor in satisfying the need for experiencing identity and achieving a state of psychological comfort. There is reason to believe that the most productive possibilities of art are revealed in the reproduction of ethnic and cultural identity. Ethnic identity is defined as an established worldview construct that differs from other manifestations of identity by a strong emotional color. Folk art is seen as a space where ethnic identity is reproduced and produced. Cultural identity in the modern world under the conditions of the total influence of the media resource on a person, and under the conditions of free access to a huge array of art, has an ambivalent character. On the one hand, a person defends his identity as belonging to a certain culture, community, on the other hand, he/she feels the need to understand and rethink the identity of his identification markers of reality. Understanding the processes that take place in this area requires theoretical and creative reflections on the purpose of art and real artistic practice, respect for the needs of the average consumer in their approach to art. The essential character of the identity parameters embodied in the work of art, and the existential dimension of their experience by the person are determined.
Factors determining behavioral models of vulnerable population groups in situation of wide spread of socially dangerous diseases (according to expert survey results)
Authors: Chepurko Gulbarshyn
Published: April 2023

The article presents expert survey analysis results and defines major behavior models for main population groups in TB, HIV, hepatitis, STD infection risk zone (risk groups) in situation of wide spread of socially dangerous diseases. The correlation was detected between risk groups behavior models/types and their formation factors, including value-motivation, socio-economic, financial, medical, cognitive and social factors, as well as stigmatization and self-stigmatization. The research shows that it is impossible to relate risk groups behavior to only one or two factors. All influential factors should be considered in connection to each other. The article determines most effective interventions changing risk groups behavior from passive to health-preserving one, such as information and communication campaign on safe behavior; expanding state funding on HIV, TB, hepatitis, STDs services; legal framework improvement for services in field of HIV infection, TB, hepatitis, STDs for various risk groups; expanding NGOs’ access to risk groups interventions. The article emphasizes the fact that preventive work against spreading HIV/AIDS epidemic involves behavioral interventions at individual and social level. It is proposed to consider the problem of socially dangerous diseases resistance not as a part of medical system only, but also as a part of political, managerial, economic, social, humanitarian and cultural problem that cannot be solved by branch medical management or medical means only.

Employee engagement and trust relationships during COVID-19 pandemic: the expanded role of internal communication
Authors: Santoso Nobertus-Ribut , Sulistyaningtyas Ike-Devi , Pratama Brahma-Putra
Published: April 2023

Internal communication turns into the most valuable aspect of strengthening the relationship between the organization and employees since it causes employees to become involved in maintaining the organization's sustainability during the crisis, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. By interviewing 10 Human Resource Officers, this study examines how to engage with the employees and enhance trust relationships through expanding the role of internal communication when COVID-19 was in the air. This study reveals that, as a department with a huge responsibility to build a relationship with employees during the pandemic, Human Resource Officers use various methods to communicate with the employees, including face-to-face and mediated communication. Internal communication built in this pandemic encourages trust and engagement with the employees. Human Resource Officers expand their internal communication role to strengthen employee engagement and build trust relationships, particularly in mediated communication. This study advances knowledge of the significance of human resource officers' roles in selecting internal communication strategies to foster employee engagement and trust during times of crisis.
Youth in the face of disinformation: A qualitative exploration of Mexican college students’ attitudes, motivations, and abilities around false news
Authors: Galarza-Molina Rocío
Published: April 2023

This paper aims to deepen our understanding of the relationship between young people in Mexico and disinformation, while shedding light on their practices and perceptions around this phenomenon. I have chosen a qualitative perspective to delve into the ways that Mexican college students interact and deal with the growing problem of false news in the current media landscape. Thus, I conducted semi-structured interviews (N = 28) using an elicitation technique, during which participants were exposed to real samples of disinformation content to encourage a conversation around the type of false news that they come across in their daily lives. Results reveal nuances in the ways that college students prefer social media over traditional media, even though they report finding more disinformation in the former. They also show the impact that students’ attitudes and habits have on their relationship with disinformation. Moreover, the study presents evidence that college students critically question disinformation, do not take it at face value, and are not prone to share it. However, findings also highlight differences related to the format in which the false content is presented. For example, TikTok videos were more likely to effectively deceive the viewer, more so than images shared on Facebook. Students also believe that older people are more likely to believe in disinformation, potentially indicating a third-person effect of this content. Lastly, this exploration emphasizes the need to further examine the broader consequences of disinformation and believing in false content, such as a reduced interest in political information.

Sand modification with a saponite clay suspension as a waste of the diamond mining industry
Authors: Nevzorov A. L , Saenko Yu. V , Shiranov A. M
Published: April 2023

The results of the laboratory water permeability tests of a sand modified by a saponite clay fraction from the diamond mining industry waste are presented. The filtration of clay suspension through a landfill ground bed as a method of the additive enrichment is approved. The experimental apparatus consisted of the triaxial test chambers and semi-automatic devices for water and suspension supplying. The chambers excluded a sidewall leakage in the samples and provided required values of the vertical and horizontal stresses when measuring permeability. The samples of an alluvial fine sand and a sand mixed with 3 and 5 % a chalk and a dolomite were investigated. After preliminary saturation the rate of distilled water flow through the samples were determined at four values of hydraulic gradient. Then the filtration of a suspension containing up to 0.58-0.63 % clay particles was conducted. After that, the pore disks at the top of samples were washed by circulating water flow. At the last step of experiments the velocity of water flow was measured again at four values of hydraulic gradient. The experiments indicated that the modification of the sand by clogging the pores by the saponite clay fraction from a suspension flow is possible if a sand comprises the additives causing the aggregation of clay particles. The hydraulic conductivity of a sand with 3 % chalk decreased by 15-31 times, with 5 % - by 15-39 times at different values of relative compaction. The effect of a dolomite addition was not significant, the hydraulic conductivity decreased by a maximum of 14.3 times. To achieve the maximum depth of clogging, it is recommended to filtrate the suspension through a loose sand at a hydraulic gradient that provides a flow rate more than 3.5 m/day, after that, the sand layer should be compacted.

Why has collaboration become increasingly central to technological progress? We document the role of lowered travel costs by combining patent data with the rollout of the Swedish railroad network in the 19th and early-20th century. Inventors that gain access to the network are more likely to produce collaborative patents, which is partly driven by long-distance collaborations with other inventors residing along the emerging railroad network. These results suggest that the declining costs of interacting with others is fundamental to account for the long-term increase in inventive collaboration.

Transport phenomena of fluids in porous media occur in a variety of mediums with different properties. These phenomena are governed by a behavior of scaling law as a function of the different universal components. Hence, we study numerically the fluid transport phenomena in a porous medium under the effect of a static pressing force. Our numerical investigation is developed using the Langevin dynamics based on the competition between the stochastic and the dissipation processes. We study both average flow distance and average flow velocity. The results show that the time evolution of these two magnitudes exhibits exponential profiles with two different regimes, and they evince a decreasing behavior versus fluid viscosity, but an increasing behavior with both static pressure and medium porosity. Scaling law of the mean flow velocity is checked for different control parameters: static pressure, friction coefficient, and medium porosity. We have concluded that the exponent values β ≈ 0.5 ± 0.01 and α ≈ 1 ± 0.01 are independent of these control parameters, which proves their universal character and their consistency with other experimental outcomes.
