La figura del Otro como constructor de la imagen y la identidad del sujeto en Platón
Authors: Rodriguez Néstor Emanuel Maximiliano
Published: September 2021

 El presente artículo se centra en cómo aparece la figura del Otro (o los otros) en los diálogos platónicos Apología de Sócrates y Critón, y cómo estos dejan ver la problemática de la subjetivación y la formación de la identidad (el yo) de los sujetos (representados aquí por Sócrates y Critón) en base a la presencia de ese Otro que mira y nombra. Por lo tanto, el eje principal de este escrito tiene que ver con cómo influye la presencia del Otro en la conformación de la subjetividad de Sócrates y Critón y cómo estos son vistos de una determinada manera en base a lo que ese Otro deposita en ellos. Es decir; intentar mostrar cómo el Otro percibe al sujeto de una determinada manera y cómo esto, a la vez, termina condicionando e influyendo en el sujeto en el hecho de pensarse y percibirse a sí mismo.

El fertirriego permite suplementar los fertilizantes en el momento y lugar requeridos, lo que aumenta la eficiencia en el uso de estos. En el presente estudio se determinó si la cantidad de fertilizantes minerales aplicados al cultivo de calabacita puede ser reducida, en comparación con la dosis regional recomendada, al fraccionar la aplicación a través de un sistema de fertirriego. Se diseñaron tres tratamientos: 100% de la dosis recomendada (120-33.6-174.3 kg ha-1 N-P-K), aplicada en forma sólida desde el momento de la siembra, y 62.5% y 50% de la dosis del tratamiento testigo, pero aplicados en forma fraccionada durante todo el ciclo del cultivo. Ni el rendimiento de fruto ni la concentración de N, P, Ca, y Mg en la parte aérea fueron afectados cuando la dosis se redujo a 62.5% o 50%; sin embargo, las plantas mostraron mayor eficiencia en la recuperación del N y P, así como mayor eficiencia agronómica por unidad de N, P y K aplicados. Se concluye que la fertilización fraccionada aplicada a través del fertirriego permite reducir la dosis de fertilización sin afectar el rendimiento ni el crecimiento de calabacita debido a un aumento en la eficiencia de recuperación y agronómica de los nutrientes aplicados.

distribución en México. Ante la expansión de las actividades ganaderas en Guerrero, México, se desconoce el papel que podría desempeñar esta especie en la transmisión de la rabia paralítica. Por ello, con la finalidad de conocer la distribución y la abundancia del murciélago vampiro en los ambientes pecuarios, así como con la idea de analizar la importancia del control poblacional y registrar el número de murciélagos vampiro positivos al virus de la rabia en el estado de Guerrero, México, se capturaron 2,620 organismos, en 178 localidades, pertenecientes a 29 municipios, en el periodo 2013-2017. De los datos de abundancia, 30% se clasificaron dentro de la categoría de “escaso”. Se trataron con warfarina 2,482 (95%) organismos; en 2017 se realizó el mayor número de tratamientos (n = 1,038). Se enviaron 136 especímenes a laboratorio, de los cuales cuatro (3%) fueron positivos al virus rábico. Hasta la fecha, la campaña para prevenir la rabia paralítica bovina ha resultado una estrategia efectiva, considerando que no se han generado otras prácticas para mitigar la problemática que se genera entre esta especie hematófaga y las actividades pecuarias. Asimismo, es importante incluir campañas de concientización, con la finalidad de dar a conocer la importancia de la vacunación del ganado y la función ecológica de las demás especies de murciélagos.

Published: September 2021

This study examines the richness of phytoplanktonic species found in one of the aquifers of the Lagunas de Zempoala National Park. The samples were carried out monthly from September 2018 to February 2019. During this period, 26 species integrated in seven divisions, 20 families and seven classes were recognized, among which the Bacillariophyceae class stands out with the greatest diversity (eight species). The species Staurastrum bulbosum was the most frequent throughout the study. In terms of temporal diversity, October presented 15 species and September 13, these variations have to do with changes in abiotic conditions throughout the year. According to previous work, the lake Zempoala can be classified as mesotrophic with periods of eutrophy mainly related to the availability of nutrients and algal blossoming.

Among the aquaculture activity, which is among the most important in the world, there are factors that impede the expected development and cause losses of millions of dollars. One of these factors is vibriosis, one of the most infectious diseases and it has a great impact on this activity. The objective of this article is to expose the characteristics of this disease that damages fish in tropical and subtropical zones around the world, in addition to exposing all the existent vaccines to try to eradicate it. There are currently 26 vaccines in commercial use, but most are aimed at the Atlantic salmon and many other fish species have been left unprotected, in addition to the high costs of vaccine production. In spite of the existence of these antibiotics to treat vibriosis, improper use has resulted in the creation of more harmful strains.

Iron deficiency anemia is the most common nutritional problem in the world and affects more than 600 million people. Knowledge about anemia is one of the causes of the low ability to cope with the symptoms of anemia. To overcome public knowledge which is still classified in the less category, it can be done by conducting counseling.

The purpose of this study was to describe the difference in knowledge about anemia before and after being given counseling to young women at SMA 5 Class 1-2 Pamekasan in 2008.

This research is a descriptive survey. The sample is 33 respondents with quota sampling technique that is equal to 25% of the population. The independent variable is counseling. The dependent variable is Knowledge about Anemia before and after counseling. Data were collected by questionnaires and counseling using the lecture method. Data analysis using frequency distribution test.

The results showed that the description of the level of difference in knowledge of adolescent girls about anemia before and after being given counseling at SMUN 5 Pamekasan in 2008 in the good category increased by 24%.

Therefore, it is necessary to conduct IEC (communication, information and education) about anemia to students to prevent the occurrence of anemia, especially when young women are menstruating.

Authors: Баришок Марина , Терменжи Дар'я
Published: September 2021

У статті висвітлено авторський досвід проєктування відеоуроків з математики згідно до моделі ADDIE теорії педагогічного дизайну. Детально описано усі п’ять етапів створення навчальних матеріалів: аналіз, проєктування, розробка, упровадження та оцінювання. Виділено основні завдання, які має розв’язати розробник на кожному з цих етапів. На основі аналізу наявних розробок запропоновано основні формати запису відеозанять.
Формулювання проблеми. У сучасних реаліях одним із актуальних шляхів використання мультимедійних технологій є розробка і застосування відеоуроків. Використання навчальних відеоматеріалів надає учневі можливість навчатися за власним графіком та у власному темпі, опановувати матеріал, орієнтуючись на власне розуміння, а не на темп більшості групи.
Матеріали і методи. У процесі дослідження використовувались теоретичні та емпіричні методи. Зокрема, здійснено аналіз літератури для виявлення стану розробленості проблеми створення та використання навчальних відеоматеріалів, моделювання педагогічних процесів для оцінки можливості використання відеоуроків у навчанні математики; виявлення критеріїв оцінювання ефективності розробленої системи відеоуроків; анкетування з метою виявлення недоліків при використанні розроблених відеоуроків.
Результати. За п’ять років дослідження проблеми створення навчальних відеоматеріалів було розроблено та упроваджено у навчальний процес систему відеоуроків. Система складається з 25 відеороликів для учнів 7-11 класів зі змістової лінії «Функції». Деякі фрагменти розроблених відеоуроків наводяться у статті.
Висновки. Апробація розроблених відеоматеріалів проводилась на базі факультету математики та інформаційних технологій (зараз факультету інформаційних і прикладних технологій) Донецького національного університету імені Василя Стуса та гімназії №153 ім. О.С. Пушкіна. Було встановлено, що виконання описаних вимог розробки та упровадження відеоуроків для навчання учнів загальноосвітньої школи забезпечує підвищення якості математичної підготовки учнів з алгебри, а також суттєво впливає на особистісний розвиток, зокрема, на мотивацію до навчання.

Published: September 2021

Формулювання проблеми. У статті узагальнюються результати дослідження стану впровадження едьютейнменту, тобто навчання через гру, у закладах загальної середньої освіти Кременчука. Метою дослідження є аналіз досвіду впровадження форм едьютейнменту на уроках інформатики у закладах загальної середньої освіти Кременчука.
Матеріали і методи. Для розв’язання поставлених завдань та досягнення мети дослідження використано комплекс методів, серед яких основними є опитування (для виявлення форм едьютейнменту, які використовуються вчителями інформатики ЗЗСО Кременчука), компаративний (для порівняння поширення ігрових практик у різних школах), а також методи математичної статистики (для кількісного та якісного аналізу емпіричних даних). Обраний методологічний інструментарій дозволив дослідити стан впровадження едьютейнменту на уроках інформатики у ЗЗСО Кременчука.
Результати. Аналіз результатів дослідження засвідчив, що переважна більшість учителів кременчуцьких ЗЗСО ознайомлені з ігровими практиками навчання та вважають їх корисними для організації уроків інформатики. Водночас опитування показало, що у більшості закладів освіти  існують певні обмеження використання конкретних форм едьютейнменту: якщо візуалізація навчального матеріалу  використовується у всіх школах, то змагальні форми навчання і особливо вебквести потребують уваги вчителів інформатики. На основі результатів емпіричного дослідження було розроблено низку рекомендацій щодо впровадження ігрових практик у навчання інформатики у кременчуцьких ЗЗСО.
Висновки. У дослідженні доводиться доцільність ширшого запровадження вебквесту як інструменту підвищення  пізнавальної активності учнів, а також їхньої мотивації вивчення інформатики. Імплементація едьютейнменту у навчання інформатики здатна значно підвищити пізнавальну активність та мотивацію учнів до вивчення предмету. Крім того, ігрові практики сприятимуть зменшенню психологічної напруженості.

Under the Romanian legal system there are no specific regulations concerning transsexualism, nor are clear medical, administrative or judicial procedures configured. However, without any doubt, the medical transition to the gender with which a trans person identifies him/herself is allowed, as well as the legal recognition of the new sexual identity. If a trans person obtained a favourable judicial decision, based on which the necessary changes have been made in the civil status acts, being issued a new identity card, then, in principle that person can prevail him/herself of the legal consequences of his/her new identity, in all areas of social life. Regarding the coverage by the public health insurance system of treatments and operations for gender reattribution, there is no convergent point of view of competent institutions.

Differential expression of calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 H in human epithelial ovarian cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: September 2021

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynecologic cancer (1). We performed discovery of genes associated with epithelial ovarian cancer and of the high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) subtype, using published microarray data (2, 3) to compare global gene expression profiles of normal ovary or fallopian tube with that of primary tumors from women diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer or HGSC. We identified the gene encoding calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 H, CACNA1H, as among the genes whose expression was most different in epithelial ovarian cancer as compared to the normal fallopian tube. CACNA1H expression was significantly lower in high-grade serous ovarian tumors relative to normal fallopian tube. CACNA1H expression correlated with overall survival in patients with ovarian cancer. These data indicate that expression of CACNA1H is perturbed in epithelial ovarian cancers broadly and in ovarian cancers of the HGSC subtype. CACNA1H may be relevant to pathways underlying ovarian cancer initiation (transformation) or progression.

Is Perfectionism a Killer of Creative Thinking _pre-print
Authors: Goulet-Pelletier Jean-Christophe , Gaudreau Patrick , Cousineau Denis
Published: September 2021

The standards that a person pursue in life can be set in a rigid or flexible way. The recent literature has emphasized a distinction between high and realistic standards of excellence, from high and unrealistic standards of perfection. In two studies, we investigated the role of striving toward excellence (i.e., excellencism) and striving toward perfection (i.e., perfectionism) in relation to divergent thinking, associative thinking, and openness to experience, general self-efficacy, and creative self-beliefs. In Study 1, 279 university students completed three divergent thinking items which called for creative uses of two common objects and original things which make noise. A measure of openness to experience was included. Results from multiple regression indicated that participants pursuing excellence tended to generate more answers and more original ones compared to those pursuing perfection. Openness to experience was positively associated to excellencism and negatively associated to perfectionism. In Study 2 (n = 401 university students), we replicated these findings and extended them to non-creative associative tasks requiring participants to generate chains of unrelated words. Additional individual differences measures included general self-efficacy, creative self-efficacy, and creative personal identity. The results suggested that excellencism was associated with better performance on divergent thinking and associative tasks, compared to perfectionism. Excellencism was positively associated with all four personality variables, whereas perfectionism was significantly and negatively associated with openness to experience only. Implications for the distinction between perfectionism and excellencism with respect to creative indicators are discussed. In addition, the paradoxical finding that perfection strivers had high creative self-efficacy and creative personal identity but lower openness to experience and poorer performance on objective indicators of creative abilities is discussed.
Physically Inspired Dense Fusion Networks for Relighting
Authors: Yazdani Amirsaeed
Published: September 2021

Image relighting has emerged as a problem of signif?icant research interest inspired by augmented reality ap?plications. Physics-based traditional methods, as well asblack box deep learning models, have been developed. The existing deep networks have exploited training to achieve a new state of the art; however, they may perform poorly when training is limited or does not represent problem phe?nomenology, such as the addition or removal of dense shad?ows. We propose a model which enriches neural networks with physical insight. More precisely, our method gener?ates the relighted image with new illumination settings via two different strategies and subsequently fuses them using a weight map (w). In the first strategy, our model predicts the material reflectance parameters (albedo) and illumina?tion/geometry parameters of the scene (shading) for the re?lit image (we refer to this strategy as intrinsic image de?composition (IID)). The second strategy is solely based on the black box approach, where the model optimizes its weights based on the ground-truth images and the loss terms in the training stage and generates the relit output directly (we refer to this strategy as direct). While our pro?posed method applies to both one-to-one and any-to-any relighting problems, for each case we introduce problem?specific components that enrich the model performance: 1) For one-to-one relighting we incorporate normal vectors of the surfaces in the scene to adjust gloss and shadows ac?cordingly in the image. 2) For any-to-any relighting, we propose an additional multiscale block to the architecture to enhance feature extraction. Experimental results on the VIDIT 2020 and the VIDIT 2021 dataset (used in the NTIRE 2021 relighting challenge) reveals that our proposal can outperform many state-of-the-art methods in terms of well?known fidelity metrics and perceptual loss
Multi-modal Bifurcated Network for Depth Guided Image Relightin
Authors: Yang Hao-Hsiang
Published: September 2021

Image relighting aims to recalibrate the illumination set?ting in an image. In this paper, we propose a deep learning?based method called multi-modal bifurcated network (MB?Net) for depth guided image relighting. That is, given an image and the corresponding depth maps, a new image with the given illuminant angle and color temperature is gener?ated by our network. This model extracts the image andthe depth features by the bifurcated network in the encoder. To use the two features effectively, we adopt the dynamic dilated pyramid modules in the decoder. Moreover, to in?crease the variety of training data, we propose a novel data process pipeline to increase the number of the training data. Experiments conducted on the VIDIT dataset show that the proposed solution obtains the 1st place in terms of SSIM and PMS in the NTIRE 2021 Depth Guide One-to-one Re?lighting Challenge.
Understanding crowd responses to emergencies using virtual reality and social psychological methods

Published: September 2021

Our project brings together research from crowd psychology and evacuation research to design and build virtual reality experiments that explore crowd responses to perceived threats. This summary outlines some of the main advantages and considerations that we have found when combining our research areas. We discuss novel ways to overcome practical and ethical limitations when researching responses to emergencies and behaviour in large groups, methodological advances that address common issues such as interdependence of data and experimental control, the ability to integrate and test theory into study design, and the benefits of triangulating diverse data collection methods to understand how and why crowd reactions occur in emergencies in real-time.
Effects of age on face perception: Reduced eye region discrimination ability but intact holistic processing
Authors: Fry Regan , Tanaka Jim , Cohan Sarah , Wilmer Jeremy Bennet , Germine Laura , DeGutis Joseph
Published: September 2021

While age-related decline in face recognition memory is well established, the degree of decline in face perceptual abilities across the lifespan and their underlying mechanisms are incompletely characterized. In the current study, using the part-whole task, we sought to examine how age relates to facial feature discrimination ability and holistic face processing in a large sample of 3,341 online participants aged 18-69 years. We evaluated performance on the part-whole eye and mouth trials and the magnitude of the part-whole holistic advantage across the lifespan. We found that while discrimination of the eye region decreased beginning in the 50s, both mouth discrimination accuracy and the magnitude of the holistic advantage were stable with age. When investigating gender differences, we found that age-related declines in eye region accuracy were more pronounced in men than women, but this was not true for mouth accuracy or holistic processing. We discuss potential mechanistic explanations for this eye region-specific aging effect, including age-related hearing loss and its potential relationship with the age-related positivity effect.
Visual and Semantic Similarity Norms for a Photographic Image Stimulus Set Containing Recognizable Objects, Animals and Scenes
Authors: Jiang Zhuohan , Sanders D. Merika W. , Cowell Rosemary
Published: September 2021

We collected visual and semantic similarity norms for a set of photographic images comprising 120 recognizable objects/animals and 120 indoor/outdoor scenes. Human observers rated the similarity of pairs of images within four categories of stimulus ‒ inanimate objects, animals, indoor scenes and outdoor scenes ‒ via Amazon's Mechanical Turk. We performed multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) on the collected similarity ratings to visualize the perceived similarity for each image category, for both visual and semantic ratings. The MDS solutions revealed the expected similarity relationships between images within each category, along with intuitively sensible differences between visual and semantic similarity relationships for each category. Stress tests performed on the MDS solutions indicated that the MDS analyses captured meaningful levels of variance in the similarity data. These stimuli, associated norms and naming data are made publicly available, and should provide a useful resource for researchers of vision, memory and conceptual knowledge wishing to run experiments using well-parameterized stimulus sets.
Age-related deficits in dip-listening evident for isolated sentences but not for spoken stories
Authors: Irsik Vanessa C. , Johnsrude Ingrid , Herrmann Bjorn
Published: September 2021

Fluctuating background sounds facilitate speech intelligibility by providing speech ‘glimpses’ (masking release). Older adults benefit less from glimpses, but masking release is typically investigated using isolated sentences. Recent work indicates that using engaging, continuous speech materials (e.g., spoken stories) may qualitatively alter speech-in-noise listening. Moreover, neural sensitivity to different amplitude envelope profiles (ramped, damped) changes with age, but whether this affects speech listening is unknown. In three online experiments, we investigate how masking release in younger and older adults differs for masked sentences and stories, and how speech intelligibility varies with masker amplitude profile. Intelligibility was generally greater for damped than ramped maskers. Masking release was reduced in older relative to younger adults for disconnected sentences, and stories with a randomized sentence order. Critically, when listening to stories with an engaging and coherent narrative, older adults demonstrated equal or greater masking release compared to younger adults. Older adults thus appear to benefit from ‘glimpses’ as much as, or more than, younger adults when the speech they are listening to follows a coherent topical thread. Our results highlight the importance of cognitive and motivational factors for speech understanding, and suggest that previous work may have underestimated speech-listening abilities in older adults.

In this paper, we explore the impact of changes in traffic flow on local air pollution under specific meteorological conditions by integrating hourly traffic flow data, air pollution data and meteorological data, using generalized linear regression models and advanced machine learning algorithms: support vector machines and decision trees. The geographical location is Oslo, the capital of Norway, and the time we selected is from February 2020 to September 2020; We also selected 24-hour data for May 11 and 16 of the same year, representing weekday and holiday traffic flow, respectively, as a subset to further explore. Finally, we selected data from July 2020 for robustness testing, and algorithm performance verification.We found that: the maximum traffic flow on holidays is significantly higher than that on weekdays, but the holidays produce less concentration of {NO}_x throughout the month; the peak arrival time of {NO}_x,\ {NO}_2and NO concentrations is later than the peak arrival time of traffic flow. Among them, {NO}_x has a very significant variation, so we choose {NO}_x concentration as an air pollution indicator to measure the effect of traffic flow variation on air pollution; we also find that {NO}_xconcentration is negatively correlated with hourly precipitation, and the variation trend is like that of minimum air temperature. We used multiple imputation methods to interpolate the missing values. The decision tree results yield that when traffic volumes are high (>81%), low temperatures generate more concentrations of {NO}_x than high temperatures (an increase of 3.1%). Higher concentrations of {NO}_x (2.4%) are also generated when traffic volumes are low (no less than 22%) but there is some precipitation ≥ 0.27%.In the evaluation of the prediction accuracy of the machine learning algorithms, the support vector machine has the best prediction performance with high R-squared and small MAE, MSE and RMSE, indicating that the support vector machine has a better explanation for air pollution caused by traffic flow, while the decision tree is the second best, and the generalized linear regression model is the worst.The selected data for July 2020 obtained results consistent with the overall dataset.
FEATURES OF MODELING THE TRACTION OF MOVEMENT OF MATERIAL PARTICLES IN A VORTICAL LAYER
Authors: Sokolovska I. , Demin K.
Published: September 2021

In the given article the actual modern scientific problem is solved — on the basis of experimental data the mathematical model of movement of a particle in a vortex layer at heat treatment taking into account multiphase of a stream is created.

At the current level of development of vortex devices, the relevance of research aimed at in-depth study of processes, improvement of structures and manufacturing technology of individual components has increased. The lack of a strict theory is felt most acutely in the design of systems and installations in which the vortex apparatus is one of the main units. In this regard, the priority remains the development of a theory that allows to obtain a fairly reliable mathematical description of the processes occurring in the vortex chamber of the apparatus.

The patterns of propagation of the swirling jet depend on a large number of different conditions (design features of the nozzle, the intensity of the twist) and flow parameters (their density and speed). The flow in the jet has a complex non-automodal character, in connection with which in other works it was considered expedient to use for calculation numerical methods of integration of equations of motion to describe the non-automodal flow in ordinary jets.

The disadvantage of these models is that when solving the model of vortex flows go into the model of laminar flows. In this case, many quantities cannot be determined analytically or experimentally. When dividing the flow into the zone of the vortex and the zone of the main vortex, the error in the calculations of the hydrodynamics of the flow, and especially the particles, increases significantly due to the use of different equations of the turbulent viscosity, which is taken for each zone constant. These models are written for a continuous medium and are therefore not suitable for multiphase flow.

The peculiarities of the trajectory of the material particle in the vortex apparatus are determined and the dependences are obtained, which allow to control the heat treatment time and on the basis of which it is possible to design the optimal vortex device for drying dispersed materials. The mathematical models obtained in this work can be used in methods of calculations and design of vortex heat and mass transfer devices.

The calculations performed according to the equations of the proposed model show satisfactory agreement with the experimental data. When estimating the relative velocities of the particle in the unloading part of the vortex apparatus, it is obvious that the use of equations for laminar flow, which are traditionally used in calculations, leads to significant errors.

Currently, the number of applicants who prefer distance education is growing every year. This form of learning reflects all the inherent components of the learning process such as goals, content, methods, organizational forms and means of learning. The widespread demands for this form of education and the modern realities caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have created the need the development and implementation of distance learning technologies.

Ensuring educational dialogue in distance learning is done with the help of telecommunication technologies. The main technologies most widely used in this form of education include a variety of video lectures, electronic multimedia textbooks, computer training and testing systems, and other.

In this article the new information technologies used in the process of distance learning discussed in detail. Although we discussed advantages and disadvantages of the new information technologies. In addition, distance learning using Internet technologies is gaining more and more popularity. The Internet has a number of specific features (openness, accessibility, variability, interactivity) that must be considered when designing, creating and conducting distance learning courses.

The main strengths of this form of learning, in our opinion, are flexibility, modularity, accessibility, cost-effectiveness, mobility and manufacturability.

Weaknesses include the lack of direct face-to-face communication, the mandatory availability of a personal computer and access to Internet resources, the problem of user authentication when testing knowledge, the high complexity of developing distance learning courses and others.

Also considered are the main models the organization of distance learning, which are used in the leading universities in the world. These include: consortium, franchising, validation, distance audiences, projects, and open learning.

Thus, despite the weaknesses, modern computer telecommunications is able to provide knowledge transfer and access to various educational information equally, and sometimes much more effectively than traditional teaching aids. A variety of educational technologies can not only ensure the active involvement of students in the learning process, but also allow you to manage this process, unlike most traditional learning environments.

Physical modeling of the laws of friction during pressure treatment is a complex problem and is solved with many restrictions and assumptions. Computational experiments open up alternative possibilities for investigating the influence of friction conditions on the rolling process. A deeper analysis of the friction mechanism in the wire block is required, since there is a significant scatter in the data on the coefficient of friction during high-speed rolling of wire rod. The aim of this work is to study the influence of friction conditions in the deformation zone of each of the stands of the wire block on the change in specific tensions, on the longitudinal stability of the rolling process, on the change in the angle of the neutral section and on the broadening of the metal. The study of the influence of these factors is based on the joint solution of the differential equilibrium equation of the elementary volume, isolated in the deformation zone, the plasticity equation. In this work, the range of variation of the coefficient of friction was chosen such as to reveal the patterns of rolling in conditions close to the limiting. The work investigated the influence of the coefficient of friction on the parameters of rolling wire rod with a diameter of 5.5 mm in a wire block. The study was carried out with a change in the coefficient of friction from 0.22 to 0.18 during the rolling of one roll. The friction conditions in the deformation zones of the wire block, affect the tension of the roll, affect both the transverse flow of the metal, and the reduction. The study of the process of rolling wire rod in a wire block showed that a toughening of the friction mode in contact between the metal and the rolls increases the longitudinal stability of the rolled wire in the deformation zone. The minimum value of the friction coefficient at which the process remains stable without loss of equilibrium is close to 0.2. With a decrease in the coefficient of friction, the tension of the metal in the inter-stand spaces sharply increases, which can lead to partial or complete slipping of the strip. The friction conditions in the contact between the rolls and the rolled stock affect the coefficient of transverse deformation and reduction of the metal in the stands of the wire block, as well as the power parameters.
Ambiguously Hip: The Tragically Hip and Canadian Nationalism
Authors: Millard Gregory
Published: September 2021

The Tragically Hip are a remarkable, indeed unique, phenomenon in Canadian popular music. Their 2016 final tour, undertaken after lead singer Gordon Downie was diagnosed with brain cancer, spectacularly reinforced longstanding perceptions of a privileged link between the band’s music and Canadian national identity. This article probes this connection, asking why deeply ambiguous and often critical references to Canada sufficed to raise The Hip to an extraordinary status as icons of Canadian nationalism. Drawing from theories of “banal” and “everyday” nationalism, it argues that, while The Hip’s work may legitimately be read as nationalist, Canada’s position as a culturally peripheral nation is the key to explaining the incongruous appropriation of the Hip’s work for nationalist self-celebration. The discourse around The Tragically Hip, then, helps to illuminate some of the ways in which nationalism works in a culturally peripheral context.
Arenas of Solitude: Social Forms and Textures of Togetherness in Hockey
Authors: Bondy Patrick , Ramos Howard
Published: September 2021

Hockey and hockey arenas are often touted as pillars of Canadian identity and community. However, recent debates over inclusion in the sport question the game’s ability to facilitate social and cultural integration. This paper analyzes different forms of social interaction in hockey and hockey arenas in Halifax, Nova Scotia. In doing so, the paper identifies three social forms that hockey players and parents produce and reproduce in arenas. These are “friendliness without friendship,” “ritual togetherness,” and “transactional relationships.” Each form has textures of solitude embedded within the social form and has different social boundaries that separate in- and out-group members. We consider our findings in relation to literature on friendliness, solitude, and socio-cultural integration, as well as Atlantic Canadian and Canadian studies.
