Cel. Piśmiennictwo na temat zjawiska przemocy domowej pozwala dostrzec znaczące rozbieżności w jego przedstawianej skali, na podstawie opisywanych badań (nawet kilkadziesiąt punktów procentowych). Sytuacja taka prowadzi do szeregu problemów natury zarówno teoretycznej, jak i praktycznej, sprowadzających się w głównej mierze do zagadnień diagnozowania zjawiska. Artykuł przedstawia trzy typy czynników tych zróżnicowań: metodologiczne (różnice procedur badawczych), kulturowe (różnice sposobów rozumienia zjawisk w poszczególnych społeczeństwach) oraz etyczne (normatywy realizacji badań naukowych), przy czym pogłębione rozważania skoncentrowane zostały na znaczeniu zmian etycznych reguł prowadzenia badań z udziałem ludzi, dla obrazowania zjawisk. Materiały i metody.
Autorzy korzystając z przykładu realizowanych przez siebie badań nad zjawiskiem przemocy domowej wobec dzieci i młodzieży szkolnej (kwestionariuszowe wywiady audytoryjne w próbach badawczych dla wybranych gmin Pomorza Zachodniego), podejmują problem wpływu zmieniających się wymogów etycznych dla badań socjologicznych na uzyskiwane wyniki. Porównują oni wyniki badań zrealizowanych w oparciu o odmienne regulacje dotyczące prowadzenia badań w szkołach. Wyniki i wnioski. Komparatywne ujęcie wyników badań realizowanych tą samą metodologią, lecz przy zmieniających się wymogach procedur etycznych realizacji badań, ujawniają sięgającą 17,3% różnicę w ogólnym ujęciu skali przemocy doświadczanej ze strony bliskich, oraz nawet 23% różnicy pod względem doświadczania – z jej strony najczęściej doświadczanej, a z drugiej, szczególnie trudnej do badania – przemocy psychicznej. W obliczu potrzeb poznawczych związanych z możliwie precyzyjnym obrazowaniem problemów społecznych oraz wobec konieczności ich obrazowania w sposób zgodny z kanonem wymogów etycznych, dobrą praktyką okazuje się powoływanie gremiów kompetentnych w zakresie optymalizacji projektów badawczych. Autorzy dzielą się doświadczeniem związanym z powoływaniem i funkcjonowaniem komisji etyki badań naukowych w ich macierzystej jednostce.
How to Assess Digital Literacy Skills of Elementary School Students?
Authors: Suwanto  , Lestari Wiwik
Published: January 2024

Students need digital literacy skills to face the 21st century, so teachers must monitor the development of their digital literacy skills. Therefore, instruments are needed to monitor digital literacy skills, but the instruments currently available have not taken into account the psychological, cognitive, and psychomotor development of elementary school children, even though they have limitations in accessing digital devices and limited vocabulary. These problems prompted the need for instrument development using the modified Tiagarajan 4-D development model, Difine, Design, and Development. Instrument development criteria must meet the validity and practicality of the instrument. The instrument was prepared using the Google Form platform, consisting of 13 statements in the form of a Likert questionnaire and 22 statements in the form of an essay test. Qualitative data were analyzed by data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and data verification, while descriptive statistics and item analysis analyzed quantitative data. The instrument design was validated by five validators with a validation level of 3.4, which was declared valid, although the instrument had to be revised. Then the instrument trials were carried out and the quality of the instruments was obtained with a validity level of 19 questions declared valid, 3 quite valid, and 3 very valid, while the Reliability Level was 0.885 for the questionnaire and 0.871 for the test instrument. At the same time, the level of practicality of the instrument was obtained from the teacher's response to the instrument at 76.1 or practical. Even though it meets practical, valid, and effective criteria, apart from having to present it through digital devices, attention needs to be paid to the ability to use symbols and tools and at a minimum must fulfill information skills, digital tools usage, and digital transformation.
Study on dynamic characteristics of red sandstone under cyclic impact
Authors: He Minghang
Published: January 2024

In order to study the dynamic characteristics of red sandstone under cyclic impact, the cyclic impact test of red sandstone at the same incident velocity was carried out by E-SHPB test device. Through the analysis and summary of the test data, the influence of cyclic loading times on the dynamic compressive strength of red sandstone and the failure process of red sandstone under the impact of 1000v loading voltage are discussed. The test results show that under the impact of 1000v loading voltage, the peak stress of the specimen decreases linearly with the increase of the number of impacts. The dynamic compressive strength of the specimen under the fifth cyclic impact loading is about 9MPa lower than that under the first impact, and the resistance to deformation is weakened. With the increase of the number of impacts, the cracks in the specimen are continuously generated and expanded, and the specimen is mainly split failure.

Authors: Li Hui , Liu Yu
Published: January 2024

Cementitious Capillary Crystalline Waterproofing materials (hereinafter: CCCW) with the advantages of good waterproof effect, green and low cost, it is widely used in the field of building waterproofing. Researchers and scholars have studied the proportioning of such materials. However, the experimental methods used in these studies are not perfect enough, therefore, this study uses a seven-factor, two-level orthogonal test method to conduct experiments and to study the waterproofing effect of CCCW coated on the substrate at different ages, and to discuss the existing waterproofing mechanism in conjunction with it. The results show that the group's homemade waterproofing agent has a good waterproofing effect, and the compressive strength is significantly increased at different ages, which suggests that CCCW can promote the hydration of cement and produce more penetrating crystals, thus blocking the capillary pores and microcracks, and making the matrix dense and waterproof.

Jesus and the Rapture Part 1: Matthew 24:40–41 Reconsidered
Authors: Woods Andrew
Published: January 2024

Is the doctrine of the pre-tribulation rapture authentically biblical? Many seek to answer this question by turning to the ultimate authority in all doctrinal matters, Jesus Christ. Did Jesus believe in and teach about the rapture? This two-part series maintains that He did. Unfortunately, many seek to discover Christ’s rapture teaching in the wrong place, which is Matthew 24:40–41. The first article in this two-part series contends that the rapture cannot be found here, given Matthew’s overall argument, the exegetical details of Matthew 24:40–41, and the inadequacy of the pro-rapture arguments concerning the passage. However, the second article will contend that John 14:1–4 represents far more fruitful ground for understanding Christ’s rapture teaching. This will be demonstrated through an examination of the position of the upper room discourse in John’s Gospel, the exegetical details of John 14:1–4, and by answering the anti-rapture arguments concerning the interpretation of the passage.
Let Us Build for Ourselves a City: A Biblical Look at the Correlation Between Secularism, Liberalism, and Urbanization in America
Authors: Arnold J. Morgan
Published: January 2024

A map of the 2022 U.S. mid-term election results per House district shows a vastness of ‘Republican red’ engulfing most of the country’s landmass in comparison to small pockets of ‘Democrat blue’ that is concentrated upon the most urbanized metropolitan population centers. Such a unique phenomenon begs the following question: ‘What has happened within the most urbanized metropolitan populations to cause them to overwhelmingly vote for the politically liberal Democratic party, a party whose platform is antithetical in many ways to what is expressly taught in the Bible?’ This question also spawns another: ‘Why have the most populous areas in the country also become bastions of paganism, hedonism, and liberalism?’ This paper demonstrates that past human behavior detailed in biblical narratives is being replicated in today’s modern urbanized culture. As is seen in Scripture, for a large city or metropolitan area to obtain and maintain a consistent and achievable level of peace and prosperity, a compromising layer of tolerance towards immorality and evil must materialize. Subsequently, the sustained tolerance of evil and violence will eventually lead to the approval, propagation, and adoption of evil and violence. Then and now, to the degree an urban population ‘goes along to get along’, the further it drifts from the Lord and plunges downward into paganism, hedonism, and idolatry. Thus, when a society consciously usurps the sovereignty of God and thinks it possesses the highest level of authority, then it has arrived at the point where it believes it has the freedom to redefine societal rules according to what it determines to be “right in its own eyes” (Judg. 21:25). By dismissing God’s existence or discounting His holiness, justice, and power, a population cognitively thinks it has effectively shaken off the yoke of sin, guilt, and shame, and has achieved the human right to “call evil good and good evil” (Isa. 5:20).

All the exhumation cases are authorized by the Judicial Magistrate are appropriate authority under section 176 CrPC (code of criminal procedure). There are other religious, social and cultural reasons the exhumation is carried out in different parts of world.

Objective: To analyse and evaluate the findings from exhumed bodies and the factors which play role in the uncertainty in the determination of the cause of death.

Methodology: This retrospective observational study performed for 258 consecutive forensic exhumations performed at Department of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology, PUMHSW, Nawabshah in district from 2017 to 2019. These corpses were evaluated retrospectively on the basis of the autopsy report and police papers. The demographic information, causative factors and relevant data retrieve and analyzed using SPSS ver.19.  The purpose of the present study was to analyze and evaluate the findings, their causative agents observed on the exhumed bodies and the factors which play role in the uncertainty in the determination of the cause of death.

Results: There were 200 males and 58 were females. The causative agents included were blunt/sharp force and firearms. 242 cases were from urban and 16 were from rural area. The maximum cases of exhumation were 228 having >42 years and minimum were 30 <50 years. Due to advanced stage of decomposition, the marks of violence on soft tissues were not observed, and the internal organs were also in a state of decomposition. Histopathology and toxicology reveal negative results.

Conclusion: Delayed exhumation due to lengthy legal procedure, results in decomposition and disputed cause of death. The success rate in challenged cases depends mostly on the duration of exhumation, condition of the soil, regardless the cause, frequency of such claims is on rise.

Este escrito quiere abonar la idea de que es posible recuperar un humanismo en nuestros días, en este caso a partir de analizar lo humano desde la óptica del franciscano Juan Duns Escoto. Lejos de pensar que la reflexión medieval no tiene nada que aportar a los tiempos que vivimos, entendemos que sus tesis de la autodeterminación y de la materialidad amorosa de los actos humanos, nos abren un horizonte que recupera la confianza en la condición humana y en nuestra capacidad de conformar sociedades inclusivas y solidarias.
Abstract: This writing wants to contribute to the idea that it is possible to recover a humanism for the present time, in this case from analyzing the human from the perspective of the Franciscan Juan Duns Escoto. Far from thinking that medieval reflection has nothing to contribute to the times we live in, I understand that its thesis on self-determination and the loving materiality of human acts opens up a different horizon for us to regain confidence in ourselves and in our capacity. to form inclusive and supportive societies.
Diáspora metafísica: epígonos del nooúmenon y fisionomía del Terror
Authors: Llamas Roig Vicente
Published: January 2024

El olvido del nooúmenon abre el píthos custodio del absoluto, peligro que acecha al hombre prometeico desde la apropiación del fuego divino. Roto el recipiente ovoide que sea la Vernunftwesen, espejismo retentivo del poder devastador de lo incondicionado, éste se derrama, anegando la razón misma. Si el sueño de la razón engendra monstruos y su vigilia genera nooúmena para confinarlos, el insomne delirio de una razón ensimismada, autófaga, que soporta en sí el peso informe del absoluto, huérfana de ilusorios entia rationis que contengan su violenta inmanencia, desemboca eventualmente en el Terror. Dos episodios dramáticos sacuden la escena europea en plena hegemonía burguesa: el Terror jacobino empaña la esa secular del yo, ligado a la desquiciada lógica homicida del espíritu absoluto, pretensión de superación de toda dualidad. El Terror ario, incubado en el pacto fáustico de vida fría, concita la árida semántica del horror que deformará el semblante humano, disolviéndolo en pálidos existenciarios (óntica tanática de un Dasein demente). Este ensayo asomará a sus cauces, escarbando en los derrubios del noúmeno.
An Ottoman Staff Officer in the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905): General Pertev Bey’s Impressions and Evaluations
Authors: Akyüz Doruk
Published: January 2024

In this paper, I discuss the influence of Japan’s military westernization on Ottoman conceptions of East-West relations, Westernization, and military reform, from the perspective of an Ottoman staff officer. Colonel (later General) Pertev (Demirhan) Bey visited Japan and the battlefields of the Russo-Japanese War as a military observer between 1904-1905. His experience on the battlefield dramatically influenced his way of thinking. In the successful Japanese example of military modernization, as he saw it in action against Russia, and found the answers to the long debate among Ottomans about the path for modernization in the face of threats from Western powers. He saw the Ottoman Empire and Japan as sharing many commonalities. Both faced a threat from Western modern states and their militaries. In reaction, elites and decision makers in both nations had sought to adopt Western practices, doctrines, institutions, science, knowledge, and cultural elements in order to reach the level of their threatening contemporaries. The Japanese military victory validated in the eyes of Pertev Bey, and many of his Ottoman contemporaries, the Japanese method of modernization. Japan replaced the West as the model of modernization for him. This led him to pen a report and unsuccessfully champion the Japanese example of military reform to Sultan Abdülhamid II. When he was given decision making power during the First Balkan War, tasked with planning the war against the Balkan allies, his experience in Japan played a central role in the war plan he presented, which in turn determined the contours of the Ottoman experience in the war.

Medición y comparación del rendimiento de cuatro algoritmos de aprendizaje supervisado para formular modelos predictivos sobre la rotación temprana de personal
Authors: Segura Mojica Francisco Javier
Published: January 2024

Objetivo: Esta investigación tiene el objetivo de comparar el rendimiento-eficacia de cuatro algoritmos de aprendizaje supervisado (Arboles de Clasificación y Regresión-CART, Bosques Aleatorios de Clasificación, Multivariate Adaptative Regression Splines-MARS y Regresión Logística-LOGIT) para el modelado predictivo de la rotación temprana de personal en la industria manufacturera.Diseño Metodológico: Se realizó una investigación de tipo cuantitativo, alcance correlacional y diseño transversal no experimental. Como instrumento de recolección de información se diseñó un cuestionario, y para el análisis estadístico y modelado matemático se utilizó el software Salford Predictive Modeler - SPM. Como predictores de rotación se seleccionaron factores sociodemográficos y psicosociales de los candidatos y como variable de respuesta se calculó un indicador de estabilidad-rotación basado en el historial del candidato. Para comparar el rendimiento de los modelos se utilizaron curvas ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic), matrices de confusión y Log-verosimilitud negativa promedio.Resultados: Se encontró que MARS es el algoritmo que ofrece mejor rendimiento con un área bajo la curva ROC de 89% y una precisión de 82% según la matriz de confusión.Implicaciones prácticas: MARS tiene la singularidad de que, para el caso que nos ocupa, reduce el modelo a un solo predictor importante. Al identificar las subregiones del predictor clave, se abren otras posibilidades de análisis; por ejemplo, en la región donde la contribución de la edad a la variable estabilidad laboral es cero (antes de los 28 años), se puede modelar con el resto de los predictores. Esto sugiere como implicación relevante que se pueden formular modelos diferenciados según la edad de los trabajadores, pues la importancia de los predictores cambia de acuerdo a la cohorte generacional.

The underwater streamer discharge has received extensive attention in the field of environmental protection, because it can generate free radicals and reactive oxygen species directly in water. The multi-needle electrode is a basic electrode configuration for achieving large-volume underwater streamer discharge. Understanding the discharge characteristics of the multi-needle electrode configuration is important for designing the large-volume discharge reactors. In this work, a multi-needle electrode that can assemble 21 needles is employed. The number of anode needles generating a streamer discharge during a single pulsed discharge and the differences in morphological characteristics between the inside and the edge of the electrode array are investigated by using an ultra-high-speed camera system. The electric field distribution of the multi-needle electrode is simulated by using the COMSOL software, and the effect of the electric field distribution on the discharge of multi-needle electrode is also studied. The discharge energy efficiency of the multi-needle electrode configuration is evaluated. It is found that the 21 needles are not discharged simultaneously during a discharge pulse. The number of discharged anode needles gradually increases and then reaches a maximum value (≤21). The maximum number of discharged anode needles during a single discharge pulse increases as the voltage and needle spacing increases. During a single discharge pulse, the filament generated from the needles at the edge of the electrode array grows longer and deviates more largely from the needle axis than that generated from the needles inside the electrode array. Such characteristics are primarily due to the disturbance of the electric field among the 21 needles. As the needle spacing decreases, the disturbance of the electric field among the 21 needles gets stronger, consequently, the discharge morphology differences between the needles at the edge and needles at the inner of the needle array become more significant, and the energy efficiency of the discharge drops remarkably.

Genetic mutations are a recurrent cause of male infertility. Multiple morphological abnormalities of the flagellum (MMAF) syndrome is a heterogeneous genetic disease, with which more than 50 genes have been linked. Nevertheless, for 50% of patients with this condition, no genetic cause is identified. From a study of a cohort of 167 MMAF patients, pathogenic bi-allelic mutations were identified in the
CCDC146
gene in two patients. This gene encodes a poorly characterized centrosomal protein which we studied in detail here. First, protein localization was studied in two cell lines. We confirmed the centrosomal localization in somatic cells and showed that the protein also presents multiple microtubule-related localizations during mitotic division, suggesting that it is a microtubule-associated protein (MAP). To better understand the function of the protein at the sperm level, and the molecular pathogenesis of infertility associated with
CCDC146
mutations, two genetically modified mouse models were created: a
Ccdc146
knock-out (KO) and a knock-in (KI) expressing a HA-tagged CCDC146 protein. KO male mice were completely infertile, and sperm exhibited a phenotype identical to our two MMAF patient’s phenotype with
CCDC146
mutations. No other pathology was observed, and the animals were viable. CCDC146 expression starts during late spermiogenesis, at the time of flagellum biogenesis. In the spermatozoon, the protein is conserved but is not localized to centrioles, unlike in somatic cells, rather it is present in the axoneme at the level of microtubule doublets. Expansion microscopy associated with the use of the detergent sarkosyl to solubilize microtubule doublets, suggest that the protein may be a microtubule inner protein (MIP). At the subcellular level, the absence of CCDC146 affected the formation, localization and morphology of all microtubule-based organelles such as the manchette, the head–tail coupling apparatus (HTCA), and the axoneme. Through this study, we have characterized a new genetic cause of infertility, identified a new factor in the formation and/or structure of the sperm axoneme, and demonstrated that the CCDC146 protein plays several cellular roles, depending on the cell type and the stages in the cell cycle.
