The Basic Theory of CFD Governing Equations and the Numerical Solution Methods for Reactive Flows
Authors: Ji Guozhao , Zhang Meng , Lu Yongming , Dong Jingliang
Published: November 2023

The universal principles of fluid motion are the conservation of mass, momentum and energy. This chapter will introduce the CFD governing equations and describe how the continuity equation, component equation, Navier-Stokes equation and energy equation were derived from the principles above. With the expanding application of CFD simulation technology, some processes such as fluid-involved reactions, adsorption and permeation, which break the conservation of mass, momentum and energy for fluid phase, should be coupled to CFD model. In view of this, this chapter provided the theories about source terms for the mass equation, momentum equation and thermal energy equation. The technology for solving these governing equations remained a challenge for a long period due to the complexity. Thanks to the development of numerical methods, such as the finite difference method and the finite volume method, these equations can be solved and provide reasonable numerical results of flows, heat transfer and reactions. This chapter also demonstrates the basics of these two major numerical techniques.
Quality Assurance When Developing Software with a Medical Purpose
Authors: Coffa Jordy , van den Berg Joost
Published: November 2023

In the field of development of scientific or medical software, questions may arise, such as how we define if software has a “medical purpose,” what regulations may apply and how they influence the (projected) pathway. We may find ourselves embroiled with the new “In Vitro Diagnostics Regulation” (IVDR) and its implementation in organizations. In this chapter we will attempt to summarize and order key bits of information, as found in these standards and related publications, that seemed relevant along the way in our software development processes. After this we will try to expose possible pitfalls that could be encountered. We also reach out to (existing) methodologies that may aid in the endeavor to the realization of software. Top-down risk approaches consider hierarchical ordering of priorities based on process levels where context and meaning play a more significant role over content and documentation. To honor the different sources, we will seek to outline how this led to a form of understanding that allowed the development of software. Maintaining a high standard of risk control while keeping focus on product realization. Hopefully these outlines and referred source materials may bring slight relief to others on a similar quest.
Malaria-Transmission-Diagnosis and Treatment
Authors: Sandoval-De Mora Marisol
Published: November 2023

Malaria is a potentially fatal infectious disease, considered a serious public health problem in the world, caused by a parasite of the Plasmodium genus. It is transmitted by the bite of the infected female Anopheles mosquito, also after blood transfusions, organ transplantation, sharing contaminated syringes in parenteral drug users, in hospitals, and during pregnancy by vertical transmission. The possibility of diagnosis should be considered in any patient with fever during the stay or return from an endemic area, applying microscopy examination through thick drop and smear, rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs), and molecular diagnostic tests (PCR). Specific treatment is based on the parasite species identified, drug resistance, severity of symptoms, or presence of mixed infection. Treatment is based on oral or intravenous artemisinin and severe forms may require supportive measures and surveillance in intensive care units. This chapter aims to provide knowledge about the dynamics of malarial infection, with emphasis on transmission, diagnostic methods, Plasmodium species, and current treatment regimen.

Published: November 2023

Abstract Today, the presence of many companies in the food sector of Azerbaijan creates a fierce competitive environment. Every company that manufactures and sells in the food sector implements intensive marketing activities, competition and pricing strategies in order to keep up with and keep up with its competitors. Due to changing technology, new customers, new inventions, new trends, changing consumer demands, short shelf life of food products, flexibility of demand, there is intense competition and drives businesses to be more creative. Companies that want to position themselves in a positive place in the mind of the customer, not in the market, have been more successful. A number of new companies are being created in the food sector with the support of the state. Although these companies are new, they have a certain position in the market, but most of them do not yet have a marketing division or department. There are a number of reasons for this, mainly because marketing is viewed as a sale or expense. In the Azerbaijani market, where marketing has just begun to develop and expand, international companies have already established their principles and gathered customers. Of course, the marketing departments of these companies also play a special role here

Taking up space
Authors: Ventzislavov Rossen
Published: November 2023

One of the many innovations with which performance art can be credited is its revolutionary approach to space-making and inhabitation. Its reanimation of objects, events and bodies takes up space as a material presence, which incidentally engenders a conceptual problem. Philosophical aesthetics has had a lot to say about our relationship with the built form, but this work has not been brought to bear on performance art and the ways this artform complicates such relationships. This paper addresses this void by exploring two dimensions of what architect Daniel Libeskind has called ‘the space of encounter’—the physical and the ethical.
De dulce y agraz: transformaciones y resignificaciones de la precariedad de las madres migrantes en Chile
Authors:   Universidad de Santiago de Chile, Castillo Lobos Lucía
Published: November 2023

Resumen (en el idioma principal de la revista): La literatura disponible ha tratado ampliamente respecto a los proyectos migratorios de mujeres y madres marcados por la vulnerabilidad y el desarraigo como denominador común de estas experiencias. Si bien este articulo comparte estos hallazgos, su objetivo es relevar, a partir de los supuestos teoricos del empodermiento femenino de Nancy Fraser, las transformaciones que ejercen las madres migrantes en Chile de los adversos adversos espacios de subsistencia que habitan, en acciones que constituyen expresiones del incipiente empoderamiento de un grupo subordinado de mujeres respecto al rol de madre y mujer que cria en un pais extraño. A través de una metodología cualitativa basada en el interaccionismo simbólico, se realizaron 39 entrevistas semiestructuradas a madres migrantes venezolanas, peruanas y haitianas, las cuales fueron sometidas a análisis temático y teorizadas de acuerdo a los objetivos definidos. Como resultado se obtuvieron tres categorias de analisis, a saber: la resiliencia, el empoderamiento y la emancipacion de las madres entrevistadas en relacion a la crianza de sus hijos e hijas. A modo de conclusiones, si bien de manera transversal las madres entrevistadas erigen a la crianza de sus hijos e hijas en migracion como una experiencia dolorosa, estas madres despliegan estrategias de resistencia, donde a través de la resiliencia, logran obtener los impulsos para bregar hacia la vida mejor, y transitar, desde una experiencia dificil hacia una experiencia que representa una oportunidad para desarrollar su autonomía economica y cultural, como mujeres y madres responsables de sus hijos e hijas, dibujando en ellas una suerte de libertad.

Published: November 2023

The natural rubber in the world market has small increase in demand and big increase in supply. Therefore, the demand and supply are imbalance and impact the natural rubber price of the world market to decline. This study is set to (1) to develop demand and supply model for predicting the world natural rubber quantity by using monthly data from 2004 to 2015 with simultaneous equation; (2) to predict all explanatory variables in demand and supply model by using monthly data from 2011 to 2015 with simple moving average technique; and (3) to estimate equilibrium quantity and price in world natural rubber by using demand model, supply model, and predicted explanatory variables.

Firstly, in the demand model, the positive relationship of explanatory variables are world natural rubber production quantity, synthetic rubber price, %YOY of GDP, and exchange rate from Chinese Yuan to Thai Baht, while negative relationship variable is natural rubber price. In the supply model, the positive relationship variables are natural rubber price, size of mature area in Thailand, rainfall in Thailand, and crude oil price, while negative relationship variables are world natural rubber stock and urea price.

Secondly, the predicted variables show that number of production, %YOY of GDP, exchange rate, number of stock and size of mature area in Thailand tend to gradually increase, while synthetic rubber price, urea price, rainfall, and crude oil price tend to slowly decrease from 2017 to 2026.

Finally, the forecasting of equilibrium quantity tends to gradually increase from 953.75 to 957.15 thousand tons, and equilibrium price tend to fluctuate and decrease from 169.78 to 162.05 thousand yens from 2017 to 2026. As a consequence, this study may be helpful to the government of the important natural rubber producing countries to plan the policies for reducing natural rubber production costs and stabilizing natural rubber price in the future, as well as setting the suitable size of world natural rubber plantation in each country.

Em Grande Sertão: Veredas, romance que oferece uma interpretação da formação do Brasil, Riobaldo discorre, entre tantos assuntos, sobre a pobreza, a doença e a retórica da modernização. A partir de uma sequência narrativa (do encontro com os catrumanos ao pacto com o diabo), analisa-se como Riobaldo surpreende-se na relação com o Outro. Ao deparar-se com a pobreza extrema, passar por um povoado devastado pela varíola e encontrar um fazendeiro que queria os jagunços como escravos, Riobaldo sente-se convocado a tornar-se pactário, o que coloca em questão a subjetividade e a ética na dinâmica envolvida na responsabilidade por outrem (Lévinas,1988).

Published: November 2023

ON THE EARLIEST TOPOGRAPHY OF THE SEVEN SAINTS CULT (Summary) The current research traces and summarizes the information about the historical persons from the circle of the Seven Saints, paying special attention to the distinction between mention, enumeration and grouping. Various historical evidences are examined as focal memory points of a conjoint cult of the Seven Saints – some of them are literature sources – the Prologue life of St. John Vladimir (1690), the Berat liturgy for Seven Saints (c. 1720) and the Moschopol liturgy for Seven Saints (1742), other sources are artefacts – eight wall paintings, three icons, a carved medallion and three reliquaries. Based on the mentioned sources, the earliest topography of the Seven Saints cult is outlined, and the individual monuments are presented in their geographical, cultural-historical, and architectural context. There is an emphasis on the fact that the historical evidences of the early stage of the propagation of the Seven Saints cult derive from a relatively limited geographical area – the lands of the Berat diocese and its immediate surroundings. The images from Dratcha monastery (1735) and from the church “St. Prophet Elijah” in Siatista (1744) are rather exceptions. As a conclusion, it is noticed that the language of the entire described tradition, including both the three written monuments and the numerous images and artefacts, is Greek. This tradition cannot yet be recognized as a genuine Bulgarian national initiative of the revival type, but rather is a regional post-Byzantine cult that arose in the southwestern regions of the Ochrid Archdiocese in a multi-ethnic environment with a dominant cultural Hellenism. The artefacts preserved to present days, which are probably only a part of those actually created, testify to the inclusion of the Seven Saints in the sacral pantheon of the Ochrid Archdiocese, thereby raising its ecclesiastical authority and supporting its historical pretensions to canonical independence. The tendencies observed in the perspective of the cult development in the second half of the 19th century are the gradual transfer to the east and northeast to the lands of Macedonia, more compactly populated with Bulgarians, and the appearance of images bringing to the fore the creation of the Bulgarian alphabet.

What do we know about L2 teachers' emotion regulation? A bibliometric analysis of the pertinent literature
Authors: Wu Hanwei , Wang Yongliang , Wang Yunsong
Published: November 2023

Since emotion regulation is a key factor in second language (L2) education, multitudes of studies have been conducted on this emotional factor. Yet, the majority of previous research has focused on the emotion regulation strategies used by L2 learners. In recent years, some scholars have started to explore L2 teachers' emotion regulation from various perspectives, but to the best of our knowledge, no systematic review to date has been carried out in this area. Using CiteSpace software (Version 6.2.R2), the present review study analyzed 26 articles published from 2020 to 2023. The analysis outcomes showed that L2 teachers' emotion regulation is a growing but still nascent research area that attracts interdisciplinary attention from psychologists and linguists around the globe. The results also demonstrated that Iran and China are the most fruitful and fertile lands in this area with Iran having a higher degree of collaboration among institutions and authors.

Published: November 2023

In this study, a Polyamide 6 (PA6)-AZ61 magnesium alloy composite and pure PA6 were fabricated using a compression molding instrument. Both the matrix and reinforcement were prepared in powder form. A planetary ball milling machine was employed to mix the PA6 and AZ61 micro powders. The effects of AZ61 content at different percentage on the final properties of the composite were investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) were employed to verify the uniformity of the mixing process and to confirm the composition of both the raw materials and the composite. The result, relative to pristine PA6, the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) demonstrated a substantial increment of 48.3%, reaching 58 MPa. Whereas the yield strength (YS) exhibited a notable surge to 49.38 MPa, constituting a 52.9% enhancement. Additionally, the PA6-5AZ61 composition achieved the highest microhardness value at 21.162 HV, signifying a remarkable 66.3% augmentation compared to the unalloyed PA6 material. This result suggests that AZ61 has the potential to improve the properties of the matrix material.

From “throwing rocks” to “starting to cry”. The grammaticalization of Spanish throw verbs into inchoative auxiliaries
Authors:   Universiteit Gent, Van Hulle Sven , Enghels Renata ,   Universiteit Gent
Published: November 2023

The inchoative construction expresses the onset of an event and is very productive in Peninsular Spanish. This study zooms in on the grammaticalization of throw verbs (arrojar, echar, lanzar and tirar) as auxiliaries in the inchoative construction and analyzes why this category is such a productive source for the inchoative aspect. It claims that the semantic domains of ‘throwing’ and ‘the start of an event’ are cross-linguistically related and that the grammaticalization process constitutes a case of metaphorical extension. The paper argues that the pathway towards the inchoative schema consists of five stages: (1) transitive use, (2) pronominal use denoting concrete movement, (3) pronominal use denoting abstract movement, (4) combine with an infinitive (bridging context) and (5) the inchoative use. Echar was the first throw verb to take on the inchoative aspect, in the 13th century, after which other near-synonymous verbs were attracted to the inchoative schema.

Este artigo explora a interseção da aprendizagem significativa e da formação de professores reflexivos e críticos, com foco em como a preparação de educadores pode se adaptar às complexidades da educação contemporânea com o objetivo de compreender como a formação de professores reflexivos e críticos pode ser aprimorada com a aprendizagem significativa para enfrentar os desafios educacionais do século XXI. A estrutura do texto está organizada em sessões que abordam aprendizagem significativa na formação de professores, reflexão e crítica na formação de professores, desafios da formação de professores e perspectivas e recomendações. Realizou-se pesquisa de compilação em que se resgatou as raízes teóricas da aprendizagem significativa, com ênfase nas contribuições de Ausubel. Os resultados apontam para a necessidade de repensar a formação de professores, promovendo abordagens que valorizem a aprendizagem significativa, a reflexão crítica e a adaptação constante. Isso requer uma mudança na cultura da formação de professores, a ênfase em práticas baseadas em evidências e a integração intencional da tecnologia. A integração da aprendizagem significativa e da reflexão crítica na formação de professores é fundamental para preparar educadores capazes de enfrentar os desafios educacionais do século XXI.
