Mapping COVID-19 in Context: Promoting a Proportionate Perspective on the Pandemic
Authors: Rinner Claus
Published: March 2021

Le nouveau coronavirus SRAS-CoV-2 a lourdement perturbé le cours de la vie humaine en 2020. Institutions, experts et profanes sont nombreux à suivre de près la propagation mondiale du virus et les conséquences des pathologies associées à la COVID–19. Les cartes thématiques sont abondamment utilisées pour illustrer les multiples indicateurs disponibles, parmi lesquels le nombre des cas, les taux d’hospitalisation et les décès. Malgré les efforts de coordination déployés aux différents échelons administratifs (y compris à l’échelle planétaire), la collecte de données est, dans une certaine mesure, incohérente, tardive ou diffuse, et les cartes peuvent exacerber les problèmes associés aux données sous-jacentes. Maintes cartes publiées sont également en contradiction avec les principes établis en matière de cartographie et comportent des choix conceptuels qui amplifient la propagation du coronavirus et la menace de la COVID–19. L’auteur fait ressortir certains de ces problèmes et propose d’autres représentations ramenant la pandémie à ses justes proportions. Il se penche sur la distinction entre l’utilisation de cartes à des fins d’exploration des données et de réponse à des questions précises, et il établit un lien entre les difficultés que pose la cartographie de la pandémie et les normes d’éthique professionnelle dans le domaine des SIG.
Application of auto-regressive time series model to marginal oil field production in Nigeria
Authors: OMOTEHİNSE Ayodeji
Published: March 2021

Some concern has been expressed over the continuous low production from Marginal oil field. This production problem has been ascribed to multitude of hindrances occasioned by the nature of earth formation in the zone. Attempts to ascertain the character or complexion of such problems have often eluded researchers and operators of the field. This study adopts the use of auto-regressive time series model to find out the root cause or the mechanism that generate high output or low output in marginal field. The correlogram that captures the memory of the mechanism that generated the output process was established. And by judiciously picking and choosing the right lags from the correlogram, model that replicates the production process mechanism was also established. The result obtained shows that there is a close tracking of the forecast with the actual. Evidently, the Mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) obtained is 5.07% showing that the errors in forecast are marginal suggesting that the forecast is robust if not sure-fire.

This short piece is an attempt to bring together the sentiments expressed in those workshops by activists, organizers, students and academics focusing on anti-racist, pro-migrant, and pro-Indigenous struggles, in a form that engages sanctuary as an ongoing question.
Performing Sanctuary
Authors: Schreiber Rebecca M.
Published: March 2021

This article examines how Central American migrant and refugee youth imagine forms of sanctuary through collaborative artwork as part of a series of Arte Urgente (Urgent Art) workshops led by artist Caleb Duarte. This artwork involved a critical embodiment and reenvisioning of their past and present experiences in the form of performance. In addition, their creation of a symbolic Embassy of the Refugee was an imaginative way of asserting their right to protection. This article examines how members of affected communities have made artistic interventions into public spaces to focus attention on the nation-state as a site of crisis as well as envision autonomous, noninstitutional sanctuary spaces for each other, while also engaging in ongoing practices of solidarity with other displaced people.
Jewish Law, Roman Law, and the Accordance of Hospitality to Refugees and Climate-Change Migrants
Authors: Ben-Nun Gilad
Published: March 2021

This article examines Jewish law’s approach to forced migration. It explains the difference under Jewish law between forced migration brought about by disasters and the state of being a refugee—which is directly associated with war and armed conflict. It continues by demonstrating how these distinctions influenced the religious Jewish authors of the 1951 Refugee Convention. It concludes with the fundamental distinction between Jewish law and Roman law, concerning the latter’s application of a strong differentiation between citizens and migrant foreigners, which under Jewish law was entirely proscribed as per the religious duty to accord hospitality to forced migrants irrespective of their background.

Published: March 2021

Software reusability encourages developers to heavily rely on a variety of third-party libraries and packages, resulting in dependent software products. Often ignored by developers due to the risk of breakage but dependent software have to adopt security and performance updates in their external dependencies. Existing work advocates a shift towards Automatic updation of dependent software code to implement update dependencies. Emerging automatic dependency management tools notify the availability of new updates, detect their impacts on dependent software and identify potential breakages or other vulnerabilities. However, support for automatic source code refactoring to fix potential breaking changes (to the best of my current knowledge) is missing from these tools. This paper presents a prototyping tool, DepRefactor, that assist in the programmed refactoring of software code caused by automatic updating of their dependencies. To measure the accuracy and effectiveness of DepRefactor, we test it on various students project developed in C#.

Prawne aspekty rozwoju turystyki pielgrzymkowej w Polsce w latach 1918-1939
Authors: Ćwikła Leszek
Published: March 2021

W Drugiej Rzeczypospolitej ważnym zjawiskiem religijnym, kulturowym oraz społeczno-ekonomicznym była – tak jak i dzisiaj – turystyka pielgrzymkowa. Zamierzeniem autora artykułu było dokonanie analizy przepisów prawa obowiązujących w tym okresie oraz udzielenie odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy ustawodawstwo państwowe miało pozytywny wpływ na rozwój tego rodzaju turystyki. Podstawowymi aktami normatywnymi, których przepisy zostały poddane analizie, są Konstytucja Marcowa z 1921 r. oraz Konstytucja Kwietniowa z 1935 r. Przepisy ustaw zasadniczych gwarantowały obywatelom m.in. wolność kultu, zaś związkom wyznaniowym, uznanym przez państwo, prawo do urządzania zbiorowych i publicznych nabożeństw. W zakresie ustawodawstwa zwykłego przeanalizowano przepisy kodeksu karnego z 1932 r., ustawy o zgromadzeniach z 1932 r. oraz przepisy odnoszące się do czasu wolnego od pracy (ustanawiające dni wolne od pracy oraz wprowadzające instytucję urlopu wypoczynkowego). Zwrócono też uwagę na projekt „ustawy turystycznej”, który zawierał regulacje mogące mieć wpływ na rozwój turystyki pielgrzymkowej. W dalszej kolejności przeanalizowano akty prawne wydane przez ministra komunikacji, przewidujące ulgi dla pielgrzymów podróżujących koleją, a także akty prawne wydane przez inne organy, zawierające przepisy obowiązujące pielgrzymów wyjeżdżających za granicę lub przyjeżdżających z zagranicy do Polski. Przeprowadzona analiza przepisów prawa pozwoliła na stwierdzenie, że działania władz państwowych, uznających doniosłą rolę religii w funkcjonowaniu państwa i społeczeństwa, sprzyjały rozwojowi turystyki pielgrzymkowej. Przepisy nie przewidywały ograniczeń i uprawianie tego rodzaju turystyki mogło odbywać się swobodnie.

Published: March 2021

The good management of drinking water begins with a supply network, with a low rate of leakage. Currently, the pipes used in the water transport system are mainly made of polymeric materials, such as HDPE. The corrosion degradation of this type of pipe has received a lot of attention from the drinking water supply companies. It is therefore important to understand the effect of pressure on an HDPE pipe with a surface defect. To answer this problem, we will first study the mechanical behavior at failure of HDPE pipes in the presence of a surface defect using a finite element method. For the rehabilitation of pipe in presence of surface defect, we try to use a new composite. This new laminated composite is reinforced with a natural organic load. It is obtained from a laminated composite woven by incorporating a natural non-polluting organic load (granulates of date cores) which becomes hybrid composite. The new economical hybrid composite material is made of an organic matrix containing methyl methacrylate, a woven reinforcement including a reinforcing glass fiber and a fabric perlon having an absorbing role. The textile reinforcement made up of several folds reinforcing laid out according to the orientations (90, 452, and 0). A numerical simulation with the ANSYS Workbench software is carry out  to study the behavior of the HDPE pipe with surface defect and with defect repaired by the new hybrid composite material in the form of rings to consolidate the cracked area of ​​the tube. The numerical results will allow us to decide on a real practical use of the new hybrid composite.

Authors: Wasekar Milind K. , Khond Mohan P.
Published: March 2021

The aim of this work is to investigate the influence of the addition of silicon carbide and molybdenum disulfide on the microstructure and the tensile strength of the Al-Flyash hybrid composites prepared using the stir casting technique. The composite with aluminum 6061 alloy as the matrix and flyash as the reinforcement, with different weight fractions, is investigated to study its microstructure and the tensile strength. The same has been compared with the hybrid composites with Aluminum-Flyash/SiC and Aluminum-Flyash/MoS2 for different weight fractions of the reinforcements. The tensile tests were conducted as per ASTM standard testing procedures at room temperature. From the results it is identified that tensile strength of the Al6061-Flyash composite is lesser than the Al6061-Flyash/SiC and Al6061-Flyash/MoS2 hybrid composites. It is also observed that increment in the composition of the SiC and MoS2 causes the increment in the tensile strength of the hybrid composite. This increment in the tensile strength is due to good interface bonding and uniform distribution of the reinforcements in the composite.

In modern ferrous metallurgy, direct reduction of iron from iron ore materials is becoming increasingly common. In order to assess the feasibility of using a particular technology, it is necessary to obtain information on the reduction processes of iron oxides. Taking into consideration that experimental research is usually expensive, a computational experiment is optimal, which allows to draw conclusions about the behavior of the studied objects on the basis of modeling high-temperature processes in complex thermodynamic systems with physicochemical transformations under equilibrium and non-equilibrium conditions. As a modeling tool, the Terra software complex created at the Moscow State Technical University named after N. E. Bauman was used. As a result of thermodynamic studies boundaries of redox processes are identified and optimal temperature and consumption of reducing agent were determined, which provide maximum degree of iron reduction. The results of simulation of iron reduction process from iron ore concentrate obtained during concentration of iron ore of Bapy deposit, by coal of Karazhyra deposit (Kazakhstan) are presented. Dependencies of composition and volume of gas phase, formed as a result of volatile coal components emission in the process of heating, degree of iron reduction at various coal consumption rates on the temperature was established. It was found that the complete reduction of iron occurs at a coal consumption of 25 kg/100 kg of concentrate and a temperature of 1013 K, and the further increase in the consumption of the reducing agent leads only to a change in the ratio of CO and SO2 in the gas phase towards a decrease in the oxidative potential and an increase in the temperature of completion of the reducing process.

Published: March 2021

The results of fundamental studies of the physicochemical properties of slags of the CaO–SiO2–B2O3–Al2O3–MgO system were used as the basis for the development of the technology for the formation of boron-containing slags in ladle-furnace units (LFU). The recommended composition of ladle slags (1–4% B2O3, 15% Al2O3 and 8% MgO) ensures the development of direct microalloying processes of steel with boron, low viscosity, not exceeding 0.32 Pa∙s, and preservation of sufficiently high refining properties. Colemanite (Turkey) was used as boron-containing raw material, having, %: 39–41 B2O3, 26–28 CaO, no more than 5% of SiO2 and 3% of MgO. The implementation of the developed technology of direct microalloying of structural steels of a wide grade composition by boron in the BOF shop of ArcelorMittal Temirtau JSC provided the boron content at the level of 0.001–0.008%, a decrease in the consumption of manganese-based ferroalloys from 0.3 kg/t of 08кп steel to 0.8 kg/t of steel 17Г1С-У, exclusion of additives into the ladle of ferroboron and fluorspar. The proposed mode of formation of slags of the recommended composition in the melt of LFU provided a sufficiently high degree of metal desulfurization in comparison with the existing production routes. For example, with pipe steel 17Г1С-У, despite a decrease in lime consumption by 500 kg per a heat and a decrease of the steel processing time at the LFU by 40 minutes, a high degree of desulfurization, reaching 66.7%, provided a sulfur content of 0.004% in the metal. Microalloying of structural steels by boron results in their high strength properties with invariance of plasticity apart from sufficiently high refining effect.

Актуалізуються фундаментальні наукові поняття екологічної освіти і виховання (екологічне виховання, екологічна культура, екологічна вихованість, екологічні знання, екологічна свідомість, ціннісне ставлення до природи, активна екологічна позиція особистості, глибинна екологія). Науково-методично аналізуються методи екологічної освіти і виховання (метод екологічної ідентифікації, метод екологічної емпатії, метод екологічної рефлексії,  метод екологічних асоціацій, метод екологічної лабіалізації, метод екологічної експектації, метод ритуалізації екологічної діяльності, метод екологічної турботи, активні та інтерактивні методи: метод еколо­гічних проєктів, «Кейс-стаді», брейнстормінг, метод проблемного навчання, інтегрально-пошукові групові та рольові екологічні ігри, «ЕКО-АРТ-терапія», імітаційне моделювання) в процесі навчання біології.    Зауважується, що використання методів екологічної освіти і виховання в процесі навчання біології   забезпечуватиме умови для ефективного формування у здобувачів освіти біологічних і екологічних знань, поглядів, переконань, ціннісних орієнтацій  щодо бережливого ставлення до природи та власного здоров’я.

Аналізується специфіка методології проєктування теоретико-імітаційної моделі впровадження методів екологічної освіти і виховання в процесі навчання біології. Відзначається, що запропонована імітаційна модель, проєктована на основі теоретичного аналізу наукової літератури, характеризується сукупністю ланок: теоретико-цільовою, змістово-процесуальною, оцінювально-результативною, яка забезпечуватиме можливість відтворення цілеспрямованого динамічного    процесу підвищення рівня екологічної вихованості та формування активної екологічної позиції особистості у здобувачів освіти в процесі навчання біології при дотриманні теоретично обґрунтованих педагогічних умов та фаховій розробці і впроваджені методик, які відповідатимуть змодельованим імітаційно-визначеним критеріям і рівням.
Repensando o falsificacionismo de Karl Popper
Authors: Almeida Pedro Augusto
Published: March 2021

Popper viu no falsificacionismo a principal característa das teorias científicas e o usou como plataforma da sua compreensão falibilista do saber. A ciência não extrai a verdade de uma experiência, mas sim uma corroboração, que não garante que em ulteriores testes será corroborada. Popper interpretou a ciência como tentativa e erro, mas a história da ciência mostra que existem teorias rivais que competem para explicar a natureza, não sendo possível simplesmente conjecturar e refutar. Seu falsificacionismo não o levou para o falibilismo, mas sim para o provisionismo.
JUDITH BUTLER E A CONSTRUÇÃO SOCIAL DO SUJEITO DE DIREITO NA APARÊNCIA DO GÊNERO
Authors: Silva André Luiz Alves da
Published: March 2021

Este artigo buscar analizar a constituição do sujeito de direito a partir da obra de Judith Butler. Nas questões de gênero, temos diferentes pressupostos: uns pela metafísica da substância, já pelo método de Butler a desconstrução de ideias pré-discursivas. Mostrando o vínculo de seu pensamento a partir da genealogia do gênero com o de Michel Foucault, tentaremos mostrar o caráter ficcional do sujeito de direito. Examinamos brevemente os estudos de Butler sobre o sujeito, o desejo e o reconhecimento, desde seus primeiros trabalhos sobre Hegel. Analisando gênero da forma como Butler propõe, buscamos elucidar seu caráter de performatividade.

Establishment of Silvopasture in Existing Pastures
Authors: Nowak Jarek , Long Alan , Blount Ann
Published: March 2021

Silvopasture establishment requires a number of different management steps depending on previous land use. Planting trees in an existing improved pasture is the easiest way to start the system. Another possible scenario is to thin existing timber stands and plant or seed forage species among the remaining trees. This publication discusses establishment of silvopastoral systems in existing improved pastures. Information presented here is applicable to north Florida and other Southeastern states where tree and forage growing conditions are similar. This document is FOR107, one of a series of the School of Forest Resources and Conservation, University of Florida, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. Publication date: June 5, 2003.
