Lived Experiences of Unequal Englishes of Filipino Domestic Workers in Hong Kong
Authors: Guinto Nicanor
Published: August 2023

In this paper, I investigate the lived experiences with English of Filipino domestic workers in Hong Kong from roughly 30 hours of recorded ethnographic interviews and fieldwork with 28 key participants talking about language in relation to their living and working experiences. Employing linguistic ethnographic approaches to analysis, I describe recurring accounts reflecting the tension between doing being an English-proficient and an English-deficient other: a tension that emanates from enabling and constraining sociolinguistic conditions in the workplace and the host society, and informed by participants’ experiences and education from their home country. I demonstrate how participants seem to discursively invoke and locate themselves in a hierarchy of English speakers: on the one hand, as better English speakers in the household-workplace, commanding respect and being accorded family language policy decision-making powers; while on the other, as of lesser English speaking abilities and rights than native English speakers, choosing to be silent or aloof, and passing negative judgement to fellow Filipinos who deploy stylized English in communication situations. The accounts of Hong Kong-based Filipino domestic workers thus show conflicting effects of unequal Englishes framing migrant workers’ experiences in ways that simultaneously fuel and challenge power asymmetries inherent in this transnational labor set-up. Keywords: unequal Englishes, Filipino domestic workers, lived experience

Authors: Tereshchuk Olha
Published: August 2023

The paper examines the tendencies, ideas, approaches of covering the development of pedagogical thought concerning moral upbringing of the young generation in the pedagogical press of Galicia in the 60s-90s of the 19th century. The study is based on the publications of this topic of three Lviv periodicals «Uchytel» (1869–874, 1880), «Shkolna Chasopys» (1880–1889), «Uchytel» (1889–1890s). The positive impact of pedagogical periodicals on public consciousness (worldview, ideals and values of readers) is stressed. The superiority of the tendency towards religious-spiritual and national components as necessary, mandatory in forming of a highly moral personality, a patriot capable of working for the benefit of his state, spiritually and economically enriching it, and preserving and transmitting these values to the next generations for a full and happy existence in the global world was demonstrated. The author concludes that the priorities, methods and forms of moral education, which were formed in the late of the 19th century and were conceptual in the editorial strategy of pedagogical periodicals, constitute a stable set of rules, norms, and values in upbringing the new generation of young people at present.

THE IMAGE OF TARAS SHEVCHENKO IN THE TRANSCARPATHIAN PRESS OF THE 1920s-1930s IN THE BIBLICAL AND LITERARY CONTEXT
Authors: Gabor Vasyl
Published: August 2023

A wide range of publications about the life and work of Taras Shevchenko in the Transcarpathian press of the 1920s-1930s have been analyzed, focusing on the biblical and literary context. The study reveals that among the vivid indirect and direct biblical images, allusions, and comparisons, the following conditional groups are present: 1) comparisons of Shevchenko with Jesus Christ, Moses, apostles, prophets, and martyrs; 2) comparisons of Shevchenko’s Ukraine with the Promised Land; 3) comparisons of Shevchenko’s earthly path with the crown of thorns; 4) comparisons of the collection “Kobzar” with the Bible (the second Bible) and the Gospel (the second Gospel) of the Ukrainian people. Among the vivid indirect and direct comparisons of Shevchenko with world writers, the following conditional poetic pairs are distinguished: 1) Shevchenko and ancient authors (Homer and Horace); 2) Shevchenko and J. W. von Goethe; 3) Shevchenko and A. Mickiewicz; 4) Shevchenko and A. Pushkin; as well as 5) Shevchenko and O. Dukhnovych.
Leading Transcarpathian journals such as «Vinochok dlia Podkarpatskykh Ditochok», «Karpatska Pravda», «Narodnia Syla», «Nash Put», «Nasha Zemlia», «Nasha Oborona», «Nedelia Rusyna», «Podkarpatska Rus», «Prosvita – Shevchenkovi», «Rusyn», «Ruska Niva», «Svoboda», «Ukrainske Slovo», «Uchytelskyi Holos» dedicated over twenty articles to Taras Shevchenko, incorporating biblical and literary context.
In their publications, M. Brashchaiko, A. Divnych, I. Nevytska, I. Pankevych, A. Shtefan, P. Yatsko, and others actively used biblical imagery and literary parallels to interpret the creative heritage of Taras Shevchenko and his significance for the national revival of Transcarpathian Ukrainians.

“I Have the Feeling of Community Again”: The Socioeconomic Impacts of Small-Scale Events on Community Recovery
Authors: Nguyen Van K. , Blaer Madelene , Pyke Joanne
Published: August 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic had severe consequences for communities across the globe and especially in Melbourne, Australia, where residents experienced strict control measures and extended lockdowns. Using a mixed-methods approach, this study explores an initiative to facilitate community
recovery by analyzing the socioeconomic impacts of small-scale events held by local government in Melbourne’s West shortly after the final lockdown lifted. Survey data were collected from 843 event attendees and 43 business operators, followed by semistructured interviews. Results show
that these events generated multiple social benefits by enhancing a sense of community, (re)connecting people, improving mental health, and promoting diversity and inclusion. Economic benefits were generated directly by boosting local and visitor spending and indirectly through increasing
business‐community connectedness. The study contributes to the limited empirical research on the value and role of small-scale events for community recovery and has managerial implications for sustainable destination development, recovery, and regeneration strategies.

Betulinic acid comes from betulin, a triterpenoid compound that naturally occurs in the bark of the Betula tree. Betulin has a pentacyclic chemical structure, which contains five distinct rings. Betulinic acid is the carboxylic acid form of betulin, meaning it has a carboxyl group (-COOH), which gives this compound its acidic nature. This study is a literature review. Data obtained from journal analysis in the form of qualitative and quantitative data. In this review article, the authors have explored in depth the promising pharmacological activities of betulinic acid. The studies that have been carried out consistently prove the potency of this compound in various therapeutic and pharmacological aspects. Research has also identified the ability of this compound to modulate biochemical pathways relevant to the nervous system, providing new hope in the treatment of complex neurological disorders.
Shifting Identities and Fragmented Subjectivities in Majok Tulba’s Beneath the Darkening Sky and Emmanuel Dongala’s Johnny Mad Dog
Authors: Korir Millicent Jemutai , Chetambe Mark , Makokha Justus
Published: August 2023

This paper examines the shifting identities of child characters and their fragmented subjectivities as represented in Majok Tulba’s Beneath the Darkening Sky and Emmanuel Dongala’s Johnny Mad Dog. The paper’s central premise is to examine how the two authors employ character mutation to construct shifting identities in the two texts. The paper employs the tenets of Carl Jung, which include the archetypes (shadow, animus, and persona) and forms of rebirth. Particularly subjective transformation (diminution of personality, identification with a group, and natural transformation). Sigmund Freud’s tripartite psyche (id, ego, and superego) is used to shed light on character mutation and the fragmented subjectivities of the child characters. This paper argues that civil war compels the child characters to behave barbarically, adapt to their new environment and automatically understand their roles while coping with war
Reduction in Packaging Wastes Through Identification of Lean Wastes to Deliver Efficient Waste Controlling Techniques for a Pharmaceutical Industry
Authors: Hasan Syed Mehmood , Khan Saad , Hakam Ali , Shah Satya
Published: August 2023

The purpose of this paper is to propose a method of reducing material and time waste during packaging in the pharmaceutical industry. This is done by means of identifying the four major lean wastes i.e., motion, inadequate processing, waiting, and defects. These wastes are identified and reduced by means of using lean tools and proposing other cost-effective solutions that would increase process efficiency. Material waste is dealt with through selecting optimal requirements under the constraint limits of ergonomics, engineering, and machine space availability. Along with reduction in change over time, a strategy ensuring improvement in the primary packaging area was developed. The validity of this research has been brought about by means of a case study of a multinational pharmaceutical company. The proposed system proves to be highly beneficial in ensuring wastage and time reduction in changeovers. This strategy provides improved results without any new costs introduced and the production targets were met faster. There is also a special consideration given to the ergonomic aspect of the production processes.
The contribution of learning trajectories to enacting the Early Years Learning Framework V2.0
Authors: Cohrssen Caroline
Published: August 2023

The Early Years Learning Framework for Australia v2.0 (EYLF) guides pedagogy and practice with children aged from birth to 5 years and states that ‘over time, children engage with increasingly complex ideas’. With 5 learning outcomes and 8 principles of practice, this requires educators to be highly skilled in facilitating children’s engagement with increasingly complex ideas. It also assumes that all educators recognise children’s demonstrations of understanding, and know what knowledge (or capabilities) likely preceded this understanding, and what comes next. As a framework, this specific information is missing from the EYLF. Learning trajectories may assist educators to recognise demonstrations of knowledge and capability, and to plan opportunities for differentiated teaching and learning that are within a child’s zone of proximal development. A focus on learning trajectories thus supports formative assessment and planning for learning, as well as reflective practice. This presentation will draw on language and communication to discuss the contribution of learning trajectories to teaching practice and the continuity of learning from birth.

ALD-Grown Ultrathin Coatings on Bismuth Oxyhalide Photocatalysts: The Effect of UV-ozone Pretreatment on Coating Quality
Authors: Arbell Nitai , Regev Shakked , Paz Yaron
Published: August 2023

The growth of ultrathin layers of oxides by Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) is well documented for oxide substrates such as SiO2, Bi2O3, Al2O3, in which oxygen is the only negatively charged atom in the substrate. In contrast, the knowledge regarding ALD growth on oxide substrates that contain other negatively charged atoms, such as halogens, is quite limited. The commonly used bismuth oxyhalide family of materials are characterized by a low density of surface hydroxyls, required for the initiation of thermal ALD growth of oxides, thus hampering the ability to grow ultrathin layers of oxides on their surface. This restriction becomes even more severe if the process has to be performed at low temperatures. In this work, we show that low-temperature Al2O3 can be grown on bismuth oxyhalide materials by ALD. The coating conformality is monitored by the ability of the ultrathin layers to suppress the photocatalytic activity of the substrates. It was found that UV-ozone treatment under a humid atmosphere prior to deposition resulted in significant conformality improvement of the coatings on all catalysts.
Orbital Alignment of the Eccentric Warm Jupiter TOI-677 b
Authors: Sedaghati Elyar , Jordán Andrés , Brahm Rafael , Muñoz Diego J. , Petrovich Cristobal , Hobson Melissa J.
Published: August 2023

Warm Jupiters lay out an excellent laboratory for testing models of planet formation and migration. Their separation from the host star makes tidal reprocessing of their orbits ineffective, which preserves the orbital architectures that result from the planet-forming process. Among the measurable properties, the orbital inclination with respect to the stellar rotational axis, stands out as a crucial diagnostic for understanding the migration mechanisms behind the origin of close-in planets. Observational limitations have made the procurement of spin–orbit measurements heavily biased toward hot Jupiter systems. In recent years, however, high-precision spectroscopy has begun to provide obliquity measurements for planets well into the warm Jupiter regime. In this study, we present Rossiter–McLaughlin (RM) measurements of the projected obliquity angle for the warm Jupiter TOI-677 b using ESPRESSO at the VLT. TOI-677 b exhibits an extreme degree of alignment (λ = 0.3 ± 1.3 deg), which is particularly puzzling given its significant eccentricity (e ≈ 0.45). TOI-677 b thus joins a growing class of close-in giants that exhibit large eccentricities and low spin–orbit angles, which is a configuration not predicted by existing models. We also present the detection of a candidate outer brown dwarf companion on an eccentric, wide orbit (e ≈ 0.4 and P ≈ 13 yr). Using simple estimates, we show that this companion is unlikely to be the cause of the unusual orbit of TOI-677 b. Therefore, it is essential that future efforts prioritize the acquisition of RM measurements for warm Jupiters.
SPYGLASS. IV. New Stellar Survey of Recent Star Formation within 1 kpc
Authors: Kerr Ronan , Kraus Adam L. , Rizzuto Aaron C.
Published: August 2023

Young stellar populations provide a powerful record that traces millions of years of star formation history in the solar neighborhood. Using a revised form of the SPYGLASS young star identification methodology, we produce an expanded census of nearby young stars (age < 50 Myr). We then use the HDBSCAN clustering algorithm to produce a new SPYGLASS Catalog of Young Associations, which reveals 116 young associations within 1 kpc. More than 25% of these groups are largely new discoveries, as 20 are substantively different from any previous definition, and 10 have no equivalent in the literature. The new associations reveal a yet undiscovered demographic of small associations with little connection to larger structures. Some of the groups we identify are especially unique for their high transverse velocities, which can differ from the solar velocity by 30–50 km s−1, and for their positions, which can reach up to 300 pc above the galactic plane. These features may suggest a unique origin, matching existing evidence of infalling gas parcels interacting with the disk interstellar medium. Our clustering also suggests links between often-separated populations, hinting to direct structural connections between Orion Complex and Perseus OB2, and between the subregions of Vela. The ∼30 Myr old Cepheus-Hercules association is another emerging large-scale structure, with a size and population comparable to Sco-Cen. Cep-Her and other similarly aged structures are also found clustered along extended structures perpendicular to known spiral arm structure, suggesting that arm-aligned star formation patterns have only recently become dominant in the solar neighborhood.
The Galaxy–Halo Connection of DESI Luminous Red Galaxies with Subhalo Abundance Matching
Authors: Berti Angela M. , Dawson Kyle S. , Dominguez Wilber
Published: August 2023

We use subhalo abundance and age distribution matching to create magnitude-limited mock galaxy catalogs at z ∼ 0.43, 0.52, and 0.63 with z-band and 3.4 μm W1-band absolute magnitudes and r − z and r − W1 colors. From these magnitude-limited mocks, we select mock luminous red galaxy (LRG) samples according to the (r − z)-based (optical) and (r − W1)-based (infrared) selection criteria for the LRG sample of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey. Our models reproduce the number densities, luminosity functions, color distributions, and projected clustering of the DESI Legacy Surveys that are the basis for DESI LRG target selection. We predict the halo occupation statistics of both optical and IR DESI LRGs at fixed cosmology and assess the differences between the two LRG samples. We find that IR-based SHAM modeling represents the differences between the optical and IR LRG populations better than using the z band and that age distribution matching overpredicts the clustering of LRGs, implying that galaxy color is uncorrelated with halo age in the LRG regime. Both the optical and IR DESI LRG target selections exclude some of the most luminous galaxies that would appear to be LRGs based on their position on the red sequence in optical color–magnitude space. Both selections also yield populations with a nontrivial LRG–halo connection that does not reach unity for the most massive halos. We find that the IR selection achieves greater completeness (≳90%) than the optical selection across all redshift bins studied.
Simulation of Head-on Collisions between Filamentary Molecular Clouds Threaded by a Lateral Magnetic Field and Subsequent Evolution
Authors: Kashiwagi Raiga , Iwasaki Kazunari , Tomisaka Kohji
Published: August 2023

Filamentary molecular clouds are regarded as the place where newborn stars form. In particular, a hub region, a place where it appears as if several filaments are colliding, often indicates active star formation. To understand the star formation in filament structures, we investigate the collisions between two filaments using two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamical simulations. As a model of filaments, we assume that the filaments are in magnetohydrostatic equilibrium under a global magnetic field perpendicular to the filament axis. We set two identical filaments with an infinite length and make them collide with a zero-impact parameter (head-on). When the two filaments collide while sharing the same magnetic flux, we found two types of evolution after a merged filament is formed: runaway radial collapse and stable oscillation with a finite amplitude. The condition for the radial collapse is independent of the collision velocity and is given by the total line mass of the two filaments exceeding the magnetically critical line mass for which no magnetohydrostatic solution exists. The radial collapse proceeds in a self-similar manner, resulting in a unique distribution irrespective of the various initial line masses of the filament, as the collapse progresses. When the total line mass is less massive than the magnetically critical line mass, the merged filament oscillates, and the density distribution is well-fitted by a magnetohydrostatic equilibrium solution. The condition necessary for the radial collapse is also applicable to the collision whose direction is perpendicular to the global magnetic field.

The Herpetology Collection of the Natural History Museum Gustavo Orcés V. at Escuela Politécnica Nacional (MEPN-H) in Quito maintains more than sixteen thousand curated specimens and it comprises Ecuador ́s second largest collection of herps.

The Collection contains 193 type specimens: 14 holotypes, 34 paratopotypes and 145 paratypes, which correspond to 10 families, 17 genera and 32 species. The collection of type specimens is particularly important in the genera Atelopus and Pristimantis in amphibians and the genera Atractus and Enyaloides in reptiles. An assessment of the geographic distribution showed that collection sites of type specimens are clustered towards the south of Ecuador in the provinces of Zamora Chinchipe, Morona Santiago and Pastaza in the Amazon Region; and in the provinces of Carchi and Azuay in the Andes. The collection of type specimens dates from 1955 to 2013, comprising an invaluable source of historical biodiversity data.
Reaching Further with Earth Science Data
Authors: Walcott Rachel , Lehnert Kerstin
Published: August 2023

Earth Sciences cover a broad spectrum of research fields such as petrology, sedimentology, structural geology, seismology, and geomorphology, to name a few, which aim to understand interrelated processes on the surface and in the interior of our planet. Many of the research questions studied in the Earth sciences, such as, understanding past climates, the human impact on the Critical Zone*1, or the co-evolution of the geo- and biosphere, require interdisciplinary approaches, employing methodologies and integrating observations from diverse subdisciplines such as geochemistry, mineralogy, geophysics, and paleontology, but also increasingly from other disciplines, specifically biology and genomics. The use of data and samples in multi- and interdisciplinary research is substantially facilitated by consistent metadata including schemas and vocabularies, data formats, and data exchange protocols.

The association of Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG) with the Earth Science part of the Natural Sciences has, until recently, been largely limited to palaeontology, primarily due to its close affinity with biology. Standards have been developed that support the taxonomy of fossils and include terms for "deep time" intervals (chrono- and bio-stratigraphy) and "paleo-surface environment" (sedimentology). Other important and highly relevant fields such as mineralogy, geochemistry, meteoritics, and soil sciences have not been included or coordinated with so far. Although some progress is being made with the ongoing development of the Mineral Extension for Darwin Core and the inclusion of some geological terms in Latimer Core (Woodburn et al. 2022), more effort should be made to link and align with existing and emerging data standards in these Earth Science communities. These Earth Science communities are very active, building their own domain-specific FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data standards and infrastructures with data systems such as EarthChem, the Astromaterials Data System, Mindat, and WoSIS.

We will introduce the users, data systems, and community standards and best practices, including metadata, vocabularies, and persistent identifiers for data and samples being used and developed in the subdisciplines of the Earth Sciences mentioned above. We advocate for collaboration and coordination with these fields to make TDWG more inclusive, expand accessible resources, and provide an opportunity for TDWG to link to these other communities. Broader networking within an interdisciplinary research framework has the potential to address more fundamental and over-arching issues of both scientific and public relevance.

Published: August 2023

Objective:

To analyze age-related changes in the choroid in healthy eyes using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA).

Patients and Methods:

This was a cross-sectional, prospective, observational study enrolling 222 eyes of 116 healthy participants. SS-OCTA images were captured using the PLEX Elite 9000 (Carl Zeiss Meditec) with a 6 x 6 mm pattern centered on the fovea. Subfoveal choroidal thickness (CT) and choroidal volume (CV) were generated automatically through manufacturer tools available in the Advanced Retinal Imaging (ARI) hub network. Choroidal vascularity index (CVI) and choriocapillaris flow deficits (CCFD) were computed using ImageJ.

Results:

CV was found to be significantly higher in women than men. Overall, there was a significant positive correlation between CVI and CCFD, and a significant negative correlation between CT and CV with age. The relationship, however, was more complex, as a decade-wise analysis showed that CT and CV increased until the second decade, followed by a decrease until the sixth decade, and then an increase again in the seventh and eighth decades. CVI was highest in the seventh decade. In contrast, CCFD increased consistently with age and in all the Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) rings.

Conclusion:

The choroidal blood flow and its thickness reduces as the age advances. While the choroidal flow deficits show a consistent increase with age and the distance from the foveal center, the relationship of other parameters with age is more complex. Having a normative database from healthy subjects is imperative for understanding the changes taking place in diseased states. Choroidal parameters can show significant variations with age. These differences are not uniform or consistent with age, highlighting the importance of a normative reference database to assess the significance of choroidal alterations associated with disease.

On the maximum Graovac-Pisanski index of bicyclic graphs
Authors: Lu Jian , Wang Zhongxiang
Published: August 2023

For a simple graph $ G = (V(G), E(G)) $, the Graovac-Pisanski index of $ G $ is defined as

   \begin{document}$ GP(G) = \frac{|V(G)|}{2|{\rm{Aut}}(G)|}\sum\limits_{u\in V(G)}\sum\limits_{\alpha\in {\rm{Aut}}(G)}d_G(u,\alpha(u)), $\end{document}

where $ {\rm{Aut}}(G) $ is the automorphism group of $ G $ and $ d_G(u, v) $ is the length of a shortest path between the two vertices $ u $ and $ v $ in $ G $. Obviously, $ GP(G) = 0 $ if $ G $ has no nontrivial automorphisms. Let $ B_{n}^{3, 3} $ be the graph consisting of two disjoint 3-cycles with a path of length $ n-5 $ joining them. In this article, we prove that among all those $ n $-vertex bicyclic graphs in which every edge lies on at most one cycle, $ B_{n}^{3, 3} $ has the maximum Graovac-Pisanski index.
Dynamics study of nonlinear discrete predator-prey system with Michaelis-Menten type harvesting
Authors: Han Xiaoling , Du Xiongxiong
Published: August 2023

In this paper, we study a discrete predator-prey system with Michaelis-Menten type harvesting. First, the equilibrium points number, local stability and boundedness of the system are discussed. Second, using the bifurcation theory and the center manifold theorem, the bifurcation conditions for the system to go through flip bifurcation and Neimark-Sacker bifurcation at the interior equilibrium point are obtained. A feedback control strategy is used to control chaos in the system, and an optimal harvesting strategy is introduced to obtain the optimal value of the harvesting coefficient. Finally, the numerical simulation not only shows the complex dynamic behavior, but also verifies the correctness of our theoretical analysis. In addition, the results show that the system causes nonlinear behaviors such as periodic orbits, invariant rings, chaotic attractors, and periodic windows by bifurcation.
La reparación de la bóveda del altar mayor de la iglesia del Colegio Nª Sª de la Antigua

“To put an end to this damned thing”: Rebutting denialism strategies performed by people in situation of homelessness during the COVID-19 pandemics (Brazil)
Authors: Böschemeier Ana Gretel Echazú , Nobre Maria Teresa , Silva José Vanilson Torres da
Published: August 2023

In this article we highlight some responses of collective resistance by members of the National Movement of People in Situational Homelessness (MNPR) in the state of Rio Grande do Norte (Brazil), during the COVID-19 pandemics. In this context, this collective had to face a deep state of crisis, aggravated during the pandemic and as a result of its effects. During the months of July 2020 to August 2022, through a project funded by the National Research Council (CNPQ), we conducted participatory research within vulnerable social groups in order to help them strengthen their social and community organization in the face of the pandemics by analyzing and producing knowledge. The chosen ethnographic approach took place through virtual meetings, telephone contacts and a chat flow during the period in WhatsApp groups. As a result, we contrasted the potent local struggles of this movement with the denialist, negligent and pseudo-scientific attitudes of the Federal Government, which strengthened a genocidal process based on dehumanizing policies of neoliberal nature. We note that, even when the population mentioned dealt with the effects of a pandemic potentiated by structural racism and social exclusion, they organized creative coping strategies, and exemplified, through pedagogies of struggle, growing paths for the practice of citizen science.
Restos de passados, fragmentos de histórias: memória, temporalidade e cidade nas fotografias de Ricardo Rangel (1950-1975)
Authors: Triana Bruna
Published: August 2023

Este ensaio articula três eixos: fotografia, antropologia e história. Tomo como material de análise um conjunto de imagens do fotógrafo moçambicano Ricardo Rangel do período tardo-colonial no país (1950-1975). O objetivo é abordar essas fotografias enquanto uma série que articula memórias e questiona narrativas oficializadas dos períodos colonial e pós-independência. Argumento que a fotografia revela um emaranhado de temporalidades, restos de passados e fragmentos de histórias plurais que se coadunam no presente, tensionando-o. Com essa reflexão, problematizo o olhar fotográfico de Ricardo Rangel a respeito da cidade de Lourenço Marques/Maputo, refletindo sobre sua prática fotográfica, mas também sobre suas condições e contextos de atuação. A partir das imagens, o texto reflete a produção da cidade, abordando narrativas e memórias do tempo colonial e sua atualização no presente.

The multi-component alloys with special technique of additive manufacturing or 3D printing creates the novel material to enhance the mechanical characteristics, excellent formability, and maximum potency. Because these techniques were able to compose the layer-by-layer process with various materials like titanium, nickel alloys, and aluminium matrix materials, for creating the complex based geometry shapes, this additive technique recreates the material with layer-by-layer on the substrate with the help of powder materials with selected process parameters. The selected materials of additive manufacturing possess oxidation performances, creep resistances, high hardness, hydrogen properties, compressive strength, and tensile strength are in maximum level, and the post-heat treatments are well built on the substrate layers. Therefore, this chapter was utilized to identify the correctness of manufacturing procedures, selection of materials, and application-oriented areas.
