The age of the Kap Washington Group volcanics, North Greenland
Authors: Larsen O.
Published: January 2022

The Kap Washington Group of peralkaline volcanics is exposed along the coast of North Greenland at 40°W. This coastal region is intruded by numerous NNE-NW-trending dolerite dykes of alkaline affinity. The volcanics and their basic intrusive counterparts appear to be related to the initial rifting in the Arctic Ocean basin. The timing of this rifting may be supported by accurate dating of the associated volcanic activity. An improved Rb/Sr age of 64±3 million years (i.e. approximately at the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary) has been determined on rhyolitic lavas collected at Kap Kane, probably near the top of the volcanic sequence. The extrusive volcanic activity probably started already in late Cretaceous time, as in­dicated by fossil plant remains, found in sediments interbedded with the lavas on Lockwood 0.

Epistemología y complejidad -Una aproximación a la investigación educativa actual-
Authors: Lema-Ruiz Rubén Arturo , Espinoza-Cevallos Carmen Elizabeth , Tenezaca-Romero Rosa Ermelinda , Ruiz-Sanginez Caty Alexandra
Published: January 2022

Este es un análisis teórico acerca de lo que significa en la actualidad el trabajo investigativo en la Educación, desde una visión paradigmática novedosa, anti clásica y emergente; se trata de mostrar la insurgencia epistemológica representada por la Complejidad como teoría, pero también como dispositivo impulsor de nuevas formas de aproximación al conocimiento en las Ciencias Sociales y, muy especialmente en la Educación. Se realiza una hermenéutica de diversos autores, enfocados como un “colectivo diverso”, con la intención de asumir el conocimiento como expresión sinérgica que contribuya a la re-creación de creencias, experiencias y valores de nuevo cuño. En este planteamiento, se parte de ciertas convicciones que tienen que ver con: a) los componentes que le son propios a cualquier paradigma, es decir, aquellos en los que precisamente se apoyan las opciones paradigmáticas; b) los fundamentos epistemológicos del paradigma cualitativo, por ser el más cercano en su naturaleza al pensamiento complejo. La exegesis descubre que, desde el punto de vista de sus características, la epistemología de la complejidad, sobre todo en el ámbito educativo, se encuentra regulada por algunos aspectos que no son negociables en esta visión paradigmática. En definitiva, la realidad es, en sí misma, compleja, y exige una visión epistemológica sustentada en la polifuncionalidad, una constante crítica a la autoridad cognoscitiva que deriva de formatos o esquemas impuestos, una concepción sistémica u holística de los aspectos a estudiar y una percepción dialéctica y dinámica de la realidad.

La migración internacional como agente de desarrollo local para las naciones
Authors: Méndez Margelis , Gómez Jonathan
Published: January 2022

La migración internacional es un complejo fenómeno relacionado con aspectos económicos, sociales, culturales, políticos, geopolíticos y comerciales. De esta manera, la migración engloba una gran diversidad de movimientos y situaciones. De allí surge el interés de analizar la migración internacional como elemento de desarrollo local para las naciones, bajo el criterio metodológico de la investigación cualitativa de tipo documental. En el artículo se expone una precisión conceptual sobre la migración internacional, junto con causas y efectos del fenómeno, tanto en los países de origen como en los de destino, tomando como eje teórico los aportes neoclásicos en materia de integración, desplazamientos, migración segura y gestión de fronteras. Se concluye que en materia migratoria es importante el respaldo que debe dársele a la teoría de no exclusión a causa de prejuicios en torno a características culturales de la población migrante, ya que la historia demuestra una corrosión constante y sistemática de violaciones de Derechos humanos, cuyo origen se relaciona con prejuicios. Debido a la importancia que reviste el tema para el futuro de la humanidad, la migración debe tener un lugar en las agendas de máxima prioridad para los Estados y Organismos Internacionales

‘Back to the Future’—Oak wood-pasture for wildfire prevention in the Mediterranean
Authors: Bergmeier Erwin , Capelo Jorge , Di Pietro Romeo , Guarino Riccardo , Kavgacı Ali , Loidi Javier , Tsiripidis Ioannis , Xystrakis Fotios
Published: January 2022

In the summer of 2021, enormous wildfires in the Mediterranean eliminated huge areas of mainly coniferous forest, destroyed adjacent settlements and claimed the lives of many people. The fires indicate effects of climate change and expose consequences of rural demographic changes, deficits in regional and touristic development planning and shortcomings in forest policy. This forum article highlights the dimensions of the problem, calls for a paradigm shift and shows solutions. Land abandonment, woody plant encroachment and non-reflective afforestation are leading to increasing amounts of combustible biomass. To prevent disastrous fires in future, fundamental changes in tree species composition, forest structure and management are essential. Plantations of reseeding pines are to be substituted by spacious or periodically open woodlands of long-lived trees with resprouting capacity such as Mediterranean oaks. Biomass-reducing practices including wood-pasture have to be revived in rural and peri-urban areas. Exemplary fire-resistant multifunctional oak woodlands occur throughout the Mediterranean. Urgent and medium-term measures in the burnt areas include promoting natural ecosystem regeneration, developing regionalized seed banks and nurseries to support native genetic resources, fostering vegetation mosaics of groves and multiple-use open and coppice woodland maintained by traditional practices, and in general forest management aiming at fuel biomass reduction and a policy counteracting land abandonment.
Diversity and distribution of the Isopoda (Crustacea, Peracarida) of Kuwait, with an updated checklist
Authors: Al-Kandari Manal Abdulrahman , Khalaji-Pirbalouty Valiallah , Abdulkhaliq Hadeel , Chen Weizhong
Published: January 2022

Thirty-eight species of Isopoda, belonging to 13 families and 29 genera, are listed from Kuwait based on previous literature records (of 17 species) and collections carried out along Kuwait’s coastal and subtidal zones during the present study. The majority of species belongs to the suborder Cymothoida (23), followed by Sphaeromatidea (9), Oniscidea (3), Valvifera (2), and Asellota (1). In total, 25 species were collected and identified from 12 families and 22 genera from Kuwaiti coastal and subtidal areas. These include eight families, 15 genera, and 21 species recorded for the first time from Kuwait. Isopod diversity was highest in the sandy rock areas, including southern Kuwait, particularly in Al-Khiran and Al-Nuwaiseeb, and in mixed habitat (muddy, rocky, and sandy) intertidal transects such as in Failaka Island. The species number increased from the subtidal and lowest zones into the high tidal zone. Isopods were found in sandy substrata, among shells, cobbles, rocks, dead corals, and algae.
L’apport des données de la Cnav pour identifier les profils d’assurés en non-recours à la retraite
Authors: Beaufort Romane , Mattmuller Mallory , Ramos-Gorand Mélina
Published: January 2022

Alors que 16 millions d’assurés disposent d’une retraite, comment comprendre que certains ne la réclament pas ? On observe par exemple qu’un tiers des affiliés de 70 ans n’ont pas fait valoir tous leurs droits à retraite (Langevin & Martin, 2019). Cette part peut surprendre puisque la retraite n’est pas stigmatisante contrairement à d’autres prestations sociales. Elle n’est pas non plus récupérable sur succession. Cette question est particulièrement importante pour les caisses de retraite elles-mêmes. Pour y répondre, la Cnav cherche à automatiser le calcul des droits pour repérer parmi ses assurés ceux susceptibles de ne pas bénéficier de l’entièreté de leurs prestations et lutter contre le non-recours. Cependant, le non-recours est un phénomène complexe qui concerne des profils très variables. Grâce aux riches données administratives de la Cnav et au modèle de microsimulation Prisme, l’article identifie, dans l’ensemble des régimes composant le système actuel de retraite français, les diverses formes de non-recours. Il cherche également à caractériser les différents profils des individus renonçant à tout ou partie de leurs droits. Ainsi, si les assurés nés à l’étranger et disposant d’un faible nombre de trimestres représentent un grand nombre de ceux qui ne font valoir aucun droit, les assurés nés en France aux carrières complètes sont nombreux parmi ceux qui ne demandent qu’une partie de leurs droits. L’article met également en évidence que le non-recours à la retraite est une situation durable, peu d’assurés réclamant leurs droits après 70 ans. Enfin, les autrices analysent les leviers dont disposent les caisses de retraite pour diminuer le non-recours et proposent une évaluation des prestations supplémentaires que les organismes devraient verser si tous les assurés faisaient valoir l’entièreté de leurs droits ; dans les régimes de base, elles représentent 2 % des prestations versées au-delà de 70 ans.
Recours inégal aux professionnels pour les femmes et les hommes en couple après 60 ans
Authors: Renaut Sylvie
Published: January 2022

Le recours inégal aux professionnels pour les femmes et les hommes en couple après 60 ans est étudié à partir de l’enquête Care (Capacités, aides et ressources des seniors) réalisée en France en 2015 auprès des personnes à domicile. L’analyse des données examine en quoi les limitations fonctionnelles sévères conditionnent le recours aux professionnels par rapport à d’autres caractéristiques individuelles (sexe, âge, configuration du ménage, catégorie professionnelle, niveau de vie, déclaration d’un proche aidant, enfant ou conjoint). La probabilité de recours aux professionnels, pour les personnes habitant seules et indépendamment des autres variables, est plus de deux fois supérieure à celle des personnes en couple. Les hommes en couple sont aidés dans leur vie quotidienne pour un plus grand nombre d’activités que les femmes, pourtant ils ont moins souvent recours aux professionnels et déclarent moins souvent un proche aidant. Le recours aux professionnels pour les soins ne différencie pas les femmes des hommes mais, pour les activités domestiques, il est plus fréquent pour les femmes. Les déclarations du conjoint aidé contrastent avec celles du conjoint aidant : l’aide conjugale pour les soins est également déclarée et reconnue par les deux conjoints mais, pour les activités domestiques, elle est plus souvent déclarée par le conjoint aidant qu’elle n’est reconnue par le conjoint aidé. Le ressenti de l’aide apportée par les femmes à leur conjoint est moins positif que celui des hommes aidant leur conjointe. Il en résulte un questionnement sur les pratiques attendues des générations très nombreuses qui arrivent aux âges où l’exposition aux limitations fonctionnelles augmente.
On a system of nonlinear pseudoparabolic equations with Robin-Dirichlet boundary conditions
Authors: Ngoc Le Thi Phuong , Uyen Khong Thi Thao , Nhan Nguyen Huu , Long Nguyen Thanh
Published: January 2022

In this paper, we investigate a system of pseudoparabolic equations with Robin-Dirichlet conditions. First, the local existence and uniqueness of a weak solution are established by applying the Faedo-Galerkin method. Next, for suitable initial datum, we obtain the global existence and decay of weak solutions. Finally, using concavity method, we prove blow-up results for solutions when the initial energy is nonnegative or negative, then we establish here the lifespan for the equations via finding the upper bound and the lower bound for the blow-up times.

The model of decision practice reflects the evolution of moral judgment in mathematical psychology, which is concerned with determining the significance of different options and choosing one of them to utilize. Most studies on animals behavior, especially in a two-choice situation, divide such circumstances into two events. Their approach to dividing these behaviors into two events is mainly based on the movement of the animals towards a specific choice. However, such situations can generally be divided into four events depending on the chosen side and placement of the food. This article aims to fill such gaps by proposing a generic stochastic functional equation that can be used to describe several psychological and learning theory experiments. The existence, uniqueness, and stability analysis of the suggested stochastic equation are examined by utilizing the notable fixed point theory tools. Finally, we offer two examples to substantiate our key findings.

To overcome the two class imbalance problem among breast cancer diagnosis, a hybrid method by combining principal component analysis (PCA) and boosted C5.0 decision tree algorithm with penalty factor is proposed to address this issue. PCA is used to reduce the dimension of feature subset. The boosted C5.0 decision tree algorithm is utilized as an ensemble classifier for classification. Penalty factor is used to optimize the classification result. To demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method, it is implemented on biased-representative breast cancer datasets from the University of California Irvine(UCI) machine learning repository. Given the experimental results and further analysis, our proposal is a promising method for breast cancer and can be used as an alternative method in class imbalance learning. Indeed, we observe that the feature extraction process has helped us improve diagnostic accuracy. We also demonstrate that the extracted features considering breast cancer issues are essential to high diagnostic accuracy.
QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE GUIDELINES FOR CARBON-NEUTRAL KINDERGARTEN DESIGN IN ITALY
Authors: Bazzocchi Frida , Cecilia Ciacci , Di Naso Vincenzo
Published: January 2022

In Italy, when building a new school, there are no regulatory or cultural references that consider recent regulations on energy savings and emissions reduction, key environmental considerations that have received increasing notice in society and new teaching methods needs to address these environmental concerns, especially as related to the built environment. The main goal of this paper is to outline qualitative and quantitative guidelines for building low-carbon kindergartens in Italy. These guidelines will define a new building type for schools while also evaluating energy and environmental performance to create a structured and interdisciplinary support tool that can be used by designers during the preliminary phase of the design process. The method starts from the detailed analysis of representative sustainable buildings to define new typological models, then several energy and environmental analyses follow to evaluate the new building type performance, and finally the guidelines are detailed following the environmental and technological system.
Discretization and degeometrization: A new relational quantum physics and an alternate path to quantum gravity
Authors: Epstein Harry Ian
Published: January 2022

A novel quantum mechanical framework in discrete space and time leads to the derivation of the relativistic energy equation and a potential path toward quantum gravity. A unique approach to geometry is also derived where pregeometric points containing intrinsic compactified geometries
generate a topologically 4D cosmos with a local dynamical 3D geometry. An interpretation of the quantum mechanics wavefunction is considered as longitudinal density waves traveling through dynamical pregeometric points. Similarly, general relativity can be described as density variations of
the pregeometric points caused by matter-energy distribution. A primordial quantum (Higgs) field emerging at the big bang that generates all the other quantum fields is considered. A four-dimensional structure of black holes, and dark matter and energy are discussed.
Lorentz, Poincare, Einstein, and Minkowski failed—and modern physics is still failing—to know the time Doppler effect
Authors: Klinaku Shukri
Published: January 2022

We know that the Doppler effect (DE) is the difference between the frequency at which signals (or particles) leave a source and that at which they reach an observer, caused by relative motion. We also know that, based on the relationship of the frequency with wavelength, energy, and
period, one can express the DE through these quantities. But, it is also very well-known relationship between frequency and time. Then, why modern physics fails to express the “time DE,” i.e., the DE through time)?
The misunderstood Sagnac effect
Authors: Persson John-Erik
Published: January 2022

The Sagnac effect of first order (in one-way light) is shown to explain the aberration observed in the very long base interferometry tests. This fact is also consistent with Sagnac’s results and with the observed stellar aberration. The Sagnac effect of second order
(in two-way light) is shown to be real, but not observable, in the experiments that were done by Michelson and Morley. However, it is also shown that the same second order effect is observable in the Pioneer anomaly. The Doppler effect of second order is also demonstrated to explain
the cosmic red shift, due to a radial ether wind.
New full relativistic escape velocity and new Hubble related equation for the universe
Authors: Haug Espen Gaarder
Published: January 2022

The escape velocity derived from general relativity coincides with the Newtonian one. However, the Newtonian escape velocity can only be a good approximation when v ≪ c is sufficient to break free of the gravitational field of a massive body, as it ignores higher-order
terms of the relativistic kinetic energy Taylor series expansion. Consequently, it does not work for a gravitational body with a radius at which v is close to c such as a black hole. To address this problem, we revisit the concept of relativistic mass, abandoned by Einstein,
and derive what we call a full relativistic escape velocity. This approach leads to a new escape radius, where ve = c equal to a half of the Schwarzschild radius. Furthermore, we show that one can derive the Friedmann equation for a critical universe from the
escape velocity formula from general relativity theory. We also derive a new equation for a flat universe based on our full relativistic escape velocity formula. Our alternative to the Friedmann formula predicts exactly twice the mass density in our (critical) universe as the Friedmann equation
after it is calibrated to the observed cosmological redshift. Our full relativistic escape velocity formula also appears more consistent with the uniqueness of the Planck mass (particle) than the general relativity theory: whereas the general relativity theory predicts an escape velocity above
c for the Planck mass at a radius equal to the Planck length, our model predicts an escape velocity c in this case.
Are we moving through outer space with a gamma factor of 1.0001?
Authors: Arneth Borros
Published: January 2022

The purpose of this short article is the question if or not we are moving through space with a gamma factor of 1 or if we already have a different gamma factor. For this question, the experimental masses of the electron and proton are compared with the theoretically derived values.
For the calculation of the particle masses, the newly derived resonance formula is used.
Classical physical mechanism of quantum production and its explanation for hydrogen atom structure and photoelectric effect
Authors: Zeng Jiqing
Published: January 2022

In this paper, the problems existing in the concepts of Planck's energy element and Einstein's light quantum are analyzed, and the alternate concept of quantum and a new concept of electron transition power were proposed. This paper clarifies the common misunderstanding in classical
electromagnetics that the electron will radiate electromagnetic wave when it moves around the nucleus in a uniform circular motion and points out that the electron will radiate and absorb electromagnetic waves only when it moves around the nucleus in an accelerated or decelerated motion with
a change of frequency and expounds the classical physical mechanism of quantum generation. Based on this, the quantization of electron orbital energy level of hydrogen atom and the phenomenon of spectrum are explained without Bohr's “quantization hypothesis.” In addition, the photoelectric
effect is explained by using the modified quantum concept. The modified quantum concept and its mechanism of classical physics break the gap between macro and micro physics, eliminate the contradiction between “classical physics” and “quantum mechanics,” and lay an
important foundation for the reconstruction of unified macro and micro physics.
Falsification of Einstein’s relativity
Authors: Taylor Emory
Published: January 2022

In 1915, Einstein published general relativity. In 1916, he published a German language book about relativity, which contained his marble table thought experiment for explaining a continuum. Without realizing it, Einstein introduced a quantized two-dimensional discontinuum geometry
and inadvertently falsified the marble table thought experiment continuum, which falsified relativity. The foundations of physics do not now (and never did) include a fundamentally sound relativistic theory to account for macroscopic phenomena. It is well known the success of relativity and
its singularity problem indicate general relativity is a first approximation of a more fundamental theory. Combine that indication with the falsification of relativity and it is apparent, without speculation, that relativity is now and always was a first approximation of a more fundamental
theory. A possible way forward to the more fundamental theory is developing a discontinuum physics based on the quantized two-dimensional discontinuum geometry or an algebraic version of it. Such discontinuum physics is not presented, because it is beyond the scope of this paper.
Bell tests explained by classical optics without quantum entanglement
Authors: Mamas Dean L.
Published: January 2022

A polarized photon interacts with a polarizer through the component of the photon’s electric field which is aligned with the polarizer. This component varies as the cosine of the angle through which the polarizer is rotated, explaining the cosine observed in Bell test data. Quantum
mechanics is unnecessary and plays no role.
Time as the result of the observer’s measurement
Authors: Šorli Amrit S. , Čelan Štefan
Published: January 2022

Since the beginning of physics, time is the duration of material changes. We measure time with clocks. The notion of time in Newton physics, Einstein’s relativity, and quantum physics are different despite we always measure the same time with the same apparatuses that are clocks.
We showed in this article that the act of the measurement done by the observer is generating duration. Time as duration is the result of the interaction between the observer and physical reality via clocks. In the universe, only changes exist. Changes have no duration on their own. Time as
duration is born with the measurement done by the observer. Duration is relative and depends on the variable energy density of time-invariant superfluid quantum space that is the carrier of EPR-type entanglement.
