“Relocated Russians” In Perceptions of Armenian Youth
Authors: Atanesyan Arthur V.
Published: October 2023

Since February 2022, many citizens of Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus have fled their countries to escape the risks of being involved in intensive military clashes in Ukraine. As a result, tens of thousands of Russians, as well as Ukrainians and Belorussians moved to Armenia, considering it a temporary endpoint and a transit country, preferring Armenia because of its visa-free and easy immigration regulations, flexible banking system, Russian language practiced after native Armenian, as well as possibility to further move to the European neighborhood, Georgia, Turkey, and other destinations. In this study, we tried to reveal the public image of those relocated to Armenia, their integration modes, and possible changes in economic and social life in Armenia caused by Russian-speaking newcomers, as perceived by Armenian youth. We applied focus-group discussions with representatives of the Armenian youth in addition to the involved observations. In October-November 2022, we conducted 24 focus-group discussions with young locals in the capital of Armenia, Yerevan, and the other ten regions proportionally. Speaking about those who moved to Armenia from Russia, Ukraine, and Belorussia, most young Armenians preferred to call them Russians partly because of a stereotypical image of them as «representatives of one nation» (this stereotype has been actively disseminated in the Western societies while depicting all Soviets too), and partly using their own experience of communicating with newcomers, among which Russian citizens make up the statistical majority. The self-name of the relocated as Relocants did not take root among Armenian youth, while identifying newcomers as IT specialists, is quite popular because of young age and their working for international (including IT) companies. The study reveals the main social, economic, cultural, and communicative changes which occurred with the relocated Russians as seen by Armenian youth.
Development of the doctrine of Russian Information Law in the context of the transition to a data economy
Authors: Polyakova Tatiana A.
Published: October 2023

The authors of the article analyze the peculiarities of the development of society and the state in the conditions of transition to a new national development project – the data economy, as well as related modern trends in the development of Information Law. The data economy focuses primarily on a practice-oriented approach to the active implementation of domestic developments and the formation of technological sovereignty. The development of such a mechanism should be carried out on the basis of flexible regulation and support of production. As in the digital economy, the flexible regulation approach seems to be a priority in the data economy. But in order to achieve the desired result as quickly as possible, the task is to find new methods and approaches. In this regard, a flexible approach to regulation should be associated with the possibility of creating models for maximum resolution of the introduction and use of technologies with a strictly formally defined system of risks, for the occurrence of which there may be adverse consequences or certain corrective actions under the control of the state. In the article, the authors analyze how methods and approaches to regulating relations in the data economy should change. Awareness of the risks and threats emanating from artificial intelligence determines the question of the development and adoption of special legislation on artificial intelligence, which should be based on the basic federal law on artificial intelligence. The paper presents the arguments “for” and “against” such an act, its content, analyzes approaches to the regulation of individual issues. The problems of legal regulation of metaverses as a space for the development of the data economy are analyzed. It is concluded that a number of problems and risks that we have to face today in the formation of social relations in the metaverse, necessitate the legal regulation of these relations and the development of an integral system of legal norms, including at the level of strategic planning acts. The question of the expediency of using foreign experience in developing a Digital Code (on the example of the Kyrgyz Republic) is considered. In conclusion, the article analyzes the main problems that were discussed at scientific events on the problems of Information Law, including the Sixth Bachilov Readings held in 2023 at the Institute of State and Law of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

The impact of inflammation on Resistin, Insulin and Troponin I in Acute Myocardial Infarction patients
Authors: Ibrahim Ammal E. , EL-Yassin Hadef D. , AL-Janabi Hamid K.
Published: October 2023

Background: Myocardial Infarction (MI) is most commonly due to occlusion (blockage) of a coronary artery following the rupture of a vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque. It has been suggested that the adipose tissue may play an important role in mediating this chronic inflammatory process. Inflammatory responses are involved in the initiation and progression of atherosclerotic plaques. Resistin is a cysteine-rich polypeptide that is expressed at relatively lower levels in human adipocytes but higher levels in macrophages. Insulin is an important hormone as it regulates the level of glucose, in the blood. This protein is formed in specialized cells of the pancreas called beta islet cells.Subjects and Methods:The study included 50 patients with AMI and fourty healthy subjects as controls. levels of resistin, insulin and troponin were measured.Results: The levels of resistin and insulin were significantly elevated with (p<0.001), there was a positive correlation between resistin with insulin and troponin in acute myocardial infarction.Conclusions: There was a significant increase in the levels of resistin, in acute myocardial infarction patients and this increase may be related to inflammation. Elevated levels of resistin can lead to glucose intolerance in AMI patients.
The Effect of Thyroxine Treatment in Infertile Subclinical Hypothyroid Patients
Authors: Sudek Hanan L.
Published: October 2023

Background: Sub-clinical hypothyroidism (SCTD) is most commonly an early stage of hypothyroidism. Although the condition may resolve or remain unchanged, within a few years in some patients, overt hypothyroidism may develop, with low free T4 levels as well as a raised thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH) level. In general thyroid dysfunction is a condition known to reduce the likelihood of pregnancy and to adversely affect pregnancy outcome. As screening for thyroid disease becomes more common, SCTD is being diagnosed more frequently in clinical practice. The aim of the study is to find out the effect of treating SCTD with thyroxin on the fertility status of the female patient.Patients and methods: Forty three infertile patients attending the infertility clinic at Baghdad teaching hospital were compared to 32 control un explained infertility women. After exact history and examination, hormonal analysis (T3 and T4, TSH, Prolactin and Progesterone) and ultrasound were done for patients and control, then the patients were randomly divided into 2 groups one group was given thyroxine treatment, the other group was given parlodel, and after 3 months the hormonal analysis and ultrasound were repeated and compared to the previous results.Results: Comparing the patient group to the control showed a significant increase in the TSH and prolactin level in patients group but the progesterone concentration was not significantly different between the groups. After giving thyroxine the group who received it showed significant reduction in prolactin and improvement in the dominant follicle size and progesterone level while the group who was given parlodel showed only significant reduction in prolactin with no significant increase in the other 2 parameters.Conclusion: TSH in subclinical hypothyroidisim is correlated positively with age and with the prolactin concentration. Treatment with thyroxine induces a significant improvement in the fertility statues including the significant decrease in prolacttin concentration and increase in the dominant follicle size and increase in the progesterone level compared to those given parlodel only. This makes it obvious that treating patients with SCTD have a significant reflection on their fertility and ability for future pregnancy.
Pyometra Presented With Rectal Pain, a Case Report and Review of Literature
Authors: Jarjees Yosra T.
Published: October 2023

Pyometra is an uncommon gynecological condition resulted from occlusion of the cervix usually by a malignant condition. It has an incidence of 0.1%-0.5%. Untreated pyometra leads to rupture uterus and acute infective peritonitis presented as acute abdomen and needs urgent surgical intervention. Pyometra resulted from occlusion of the vagina is very rare. No cases have been described in the English literature to the best of our knowledge and in the PubMed. The purpose of reporting this case is to show that occlusion of the vagina could occur in postmenopausal women as a consequence of local infection and results in pyometra and also to show that pyometra can be presented in a different way apart from the classical presentation. The way to reach the diagnosis and how to manage the case has been also discussed thoroughly.

Numerical Investigation of the Influence of the Axial Position of the Propeller on the Propulsion Performance and the Hull-Propeller Interaction Using the Body-Force-Method
Authors: Akinmulewo Daniel , Rubino Ginevra , Gosda Roland , Abdel-Maksoud Moustafa , Grashorn Henning
Published: October 2023

The growing demand to reduce emissions and the increasing awareness of the negative environmental impact of ships and high-speed marine vessels have influenced the traditional methods employed in the design of ship propulsion systems. In this context, more emphasis has been placed on the design of ship propellers and determining the optimum axial position, while operating in the ship wake-field. The interaction parameters between the hull and propeller, mainly the wake fraction coefficient and thrust deduction factor, are required to determine the optimum propeller position for improved fuel and overall propulsive efficiency. For this purpose, a numerical analysis is performed to assess the influence of the axial position of the propeller on the propulsion performance and the hull-propeller interaction using the integration of three software: a propeller design and optimisation framework within the CAESES environment for a parametric variation of the propeller geometry, a CFD code FreSCo+, a joint development from the Hamburg Ship Model Basin (HSVA) and Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) to perform the hydrodynamic evaluation of the hull and a propeller potential solver QCM (HSVA in house code). The coupling of the above procedure is applied to four axial positions of the propeller in calm water conditions without considering cavitation aspects to evaluate propeller-induced forces and hull-propeller interaction coefficients. Simulations are performed on a model-scale container ship and validated with the experimental results from HSVA.
Attitude towards business activity risk: evidence using logit models for two groups of OECD countries
Authors: Reyes-Ruiz Gerardo
Published: October 2023

PURPOSE – The low quality of current jobs around the world and their scarcity have led to the need to undertake. As a consequence of this, people have stopped being employees to becoming entrepreneurs. However, the specialized literature ensures that there are factors, attributed to people or not, that characterize this undertaking.

DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH – In this article, an approach is made to the issue of aversion to the risk of failure that a person faces when deciding to be, precisely, an entrepreneur. The information integrated by the reports of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) served as input so that, through the non-linear models of logit probability, it is verified, during the period 2001-2016, if the factors education, experience, knowledge, skills, age, among others, directly influence a person to decide to start a business.

FINDINGS – The results obtained made it possible to detect and compare the most distinctive factors in each of these groups. Finally, for each group of countries, statistically significant variables and odd ratios that increase the probability that a person feels aversion to the risk of failing when starting a new business were detected.

ORIGINALITY/VALUE – This article shows that when knowing the significant factors, in the two groups of countries analyzed, to know the aversion to failure of a person when they have decided to start a business, it was found that there are no great differences between the two profiles found.
Why Corruption in Nigeria? Experts’ Accounts on the Occurrences and Persistence
Authors: Suleiman Naziru
Published: October 2023

Corruption is increasingly becoming commonplace in Nigeria. Recent discoveries of hidden corrupt funds in Nigeria by anti-corruption agencies, particularly the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Nigeria, give insight into how severe the menace has become. The amount recovered during the early part of 2017 is shocking, despite the renewed effort to fight corruption by the present administration in Nigeria and, by extension, past governments. This has prompted the question of why corruption occurs and persists in Nigeria. To satisfy this urge, we believe that getting those involved in corruption will be of great significance in unraveling the reality of the issue. However, thoughtfully considering the situation in Nigeria, where, in most instances, even those caught in corrupt acts with overwhelming evidence often deny being corrupt and are ever ready to go to any length in proving their innocence, we oblige for a workable alternative, which is to meet experts from the anti-corruption agencies and get their perspectives on this. We believe that through these experts who have been interacting with corrupt officers as investigators and prosecutors, the reality of the matter will be revealed. Their experiences and understanding in the anti-corruption efforts can lead us to uncover why the occurrences and persistence of corruption in Nigeria. In achieving this goal, we conducted in-depth face-to-face interviews with the two anti-corruption bodies. Using thematic analysis, we find that six reasons explain why corruption occurs and then persists in Nigeria.
Testing a model of the psychology of working theory with formerly incarcerated adults
Authors:   , Battles Preston
Published: October 2023

The purpose of this study was to investigate the direct and indirect effects of social and economic marginalization on the career and life experiences of formerly incarcerated individuals (N = 324). This study used structural equation modeling (SEM) specified with conceptual consistency with the psychology of working theory (PWT). Results showed that the PWT was an adequate fit to the data, providing evidence for the utility of this career framework for formerly incarcerated individuals. Specific hypotheses were tested within the model, which included economic constraints and marginalization as negative predictors of work volition. A direct, negative effect of perceived marginalization on decent work was also identified. Further support of the PWT was identified: a) work volition directly predicted decent work, b) work volition mediated economic constraints and marginalization on decent work, and c) decent work positively predicted well-being. Critical consciousness was also assessed as a moderator, which identified critical action as a protective factor for the economic constraints--decent work link as well as the marginalization--work volition link. Inconsistent with the proposed hypotheses, direct effects of economic constraints on decent work and well-being, respectively, were not statistically significant. In addition, criminal background-based marginalization was positively predictive of subjective well-being. Additionally, the moderation effects of critical consciousness were not statistically significant for the economic constraints--work volition link. Finally, critical reflection was exacerbating, rather than protective, on the associations between economic constraints and marginalization on decent work. Limitations, future directions, and implications for practice, research, and policy are then discussed.
Restoration treatments and regeneration dynamics in East Texas mixed wood forests
Authors:   , Grochowski Jacob Daniel
Published: October 2023

Extensive harvesting, fire exclusion, and plantation forestry altered composition and structure, and thus function and habitat values of east Texas Pineywoods uplands. Upland restoration efforts are made difficult by the abundance of sprouting mesophytic species and by the complex silvics of the historical mixed wood types. This study evaluated the effects of restoration sequences on regeneration dynamics at the Boggy Slough Conservation Area, in Trinity County, TX, USA. A chronosequence was used to evaluate population-level changes in four species groups: historically dominant oaks and pines and contemporary competitors yaupon holly and sweetgum. Individual seedlings were tracked to evaluate the effects of harvesting, dormant season prescribed burning, foliar herbicide application, and growing season prescribed burning on growth, topkill, and mortality. None of the treatment sequences caused significant mortality of yaupon holly, but its growth rate was reduced by herbicide applied soon after prescribed burning. Mortality was also low among oak species, which remained intermediate in abundance to other species in the study and maintained a growth rate which was relatively unaffected by treatments. Treatment sequences involving herbicide led to high mortality of both sweetgum and pine species. The treatments successfully re-established the desired two-layered woodland structure by topkilling large yaupon holly, however, resprouts were abundant. Overall, results indicated the need for continued management to maintain a two-layered woodland structure and allow the successful recruitment of the desired pine and oak species to the midstory and overstory.
GIS-based analysis of environmental justice and compound natural hazards in the built and natural environment
Authors:   , Spriggs Amber Maurine
Published: October 2023

[EMBARGOED UNTIL 8/1/2024] Infrastructure design connects people and the built environment with the natural world; thus, accessible, equitable, and sustainable infrastructure is critical for community resilience. As changing climate patterns present new hazards and challenges for communities, environmental policy and civil engineering are evolving to respond to these challenges. In this thesis, we utilize publicly available data to examine the role of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in responding to these challenges in the built and natural environment. In the first manuscript, we analyzed publicly available online GIS tools designed by federal agencies to provide insight into environmental justice analysis. These GIS tools can be especially valuable when incorporated into the NEPA process for civil and environmental engineering projects. In the second manuscript, we compiled a variety of publicly available data layers as parameters and developed a GIS methodology to provide insight into risk assessment for a specific compound natural hazard, post-wildfire debris flows, focusing on water and its impacts on the landscape. We conclude that community engagement and climate-adaptive infrastructure design, along with public policy that prioritizes them, can guide civil engineering innovation.

Published: October 2023

[EMBARGOED UNTIL 8/1/2024] Data extraction and processing is an integral part of a complex IoT system. The data visualization interprets huge quantities of data into a graphical 2D and 3D visualization to make it easy to understand the data. The automation of data extraction and processing as well as the automation-driven visualization for continuous data analysis and analytics are the research focus of this thesis. The purpose of this work is to provide real-time IoT sensor data visualization for a digital twin framework aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions through low-latency communication between real-time building use and optimized building operation. Here we proposed and implemented a framework that independently computes over the cloud without human intervention, retrieves the sensor endpoint data through API calls at regular time intervals, extracts, processes, and transforms the required parameters from the raw data, and loads the data in scalable docker container local storage. Furthermore, it retrieves the processed data from the docker container local storage through API calls and visualizes the data in the front-end application using various visualization techniques including 2D and 3D bar, line, pie, and heat map graphical representations. In addition, the APIs are created for the processed data to be passed as live data for the augmented reality application and visualized the data in 2D and 3D. The AR application is equipped with a QR reading feature for visualizing device-specific analytics. The visualized 3D analytics in Augmented Reality enables a holistic view of the data and makes cognitive data processing more effective for the user. The automated framework developed for IoT systems and 5G networks in this project has the potential to be used for building energy-efficient and net-zero smart cities in the future.

Paper coating properties as affected by pigment blending and calendering
Authors: LARSSON MIKAEL , VIDAL DAVID , ENGSTRÖM GUNNAR , ZOU XUEJUN
Published: October 2023

To gain insight into how and why pigment blending affects coating pore and surface structures and how these structures are affected by calendering, we prepared coating colors with different blending ratios of ground calcium carbonate (GCC) and clay with a similar particle size distribution using a constant level of binder and co-binder. We applied the coatings on plastic films and calendered them using a paper sheet backing to account for the part of compression absorbed by the base paper. The coating layer structures were characterized by mercury porosimetry, atomic force microscopy, gloss, and spectrophotometric measurements. The results showed that synergy occurs for pore volume, pore size, and light-scattering coefficient when blending GCC and clay; that is, the property from a pigment blend can be higher than what is predicted from simple additivity. For example, the pore volume and pore size reached a maximum value of approximately 70% clay and 30% GCC. However, no synergy was observed for smoothness and gloss. Calendering significantly compressed the coating layers and reduced some of the synergy in pore volume and pore size created by the blending. Although the 100% clay coating was twice as much compressed by the calendering as the 100% GCC coating, the blending of clay and GCC at a wide range of ratios showed a similar extent of compression (calculated as reduction in pore volume). We proposed a mechanism to explain the synergies by blending and the compression caused by calendering.
Spectroscopic imaging ellipsometry of wood fiber cell wells: a comparison with confocal microscopy
Authors: YE CHUN
Published: October 2023

Spectroscopic imaging ellipsometry (SIE) permits real-time measurement of the path difference (PD) of single, intact wood fibers, a parameter proportional to the cell wall thickness. This new technique was used to measure fibers for their path difference (PD). Previously, the fibers’ cell wall thicknesses were measured by using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The PD results were compared with the reference values of CLSM and are in reasonably good agreement with each other.
Life-cycle thinking in the pulp and paper industry, part 2: LCA studies and opportunities for development
Authors: GAUDREAULT CAROLINE , SAMSON RÉJEAN , STUART PAUL R.
Published: October 2023

Part I of this study presented a critical survey of life-cycle assessment (LCA) applications in the pulp and paper industry. The objective of Part II is to characterize and understand the methodologies that have been used in reported LCA studies, including their limitations, and to identify opportunities for improvement of LCA methodologies. Factors examined include the type of LCA application, the source of the publication, the country of origin, the organization performing the study, the software used, and the degree of completeness of the study. We found that many LCA studies fail to include certain elements as defined by the standard International Organization for Standardization (ISO) methodology, in particular the quality assessment component. Most of the methodologies and databases used in the studies are appropriate for the European context, but not well adapted to North American specifics. There is, therefore, a need to develop North American methodologies and databases. Significant potential also exists for using LCA with other product and process analysis tools for enhanced decision-making.
Factors contributing to improved environmental performance in the Finnish kraft pulping industry
Authors: WESSMAN HELENA
Published: October 2023

This study describes the environmental significance of kraft pulping technology developments in Finnish kraft pulp mills. Data on kraft production technology and process energy were collected directly from seven mills. Results are presented as an average of these data. The study presents the main interactions between technology development and environmental performance, particularly water emissions, air emissions, and energy. Supporting technology (e.g., waste treatment operations) and core technology (e.g., liquor processing) were found to be equally important in reducing the environmental loads from kraft pulp mills. The most important supporting technologies are well-operated activated sludge treatment plants and various purification techniques for air emissions. The most important core technologies include dry debarking, oxygen delignification, improved black liquor concentration, and lime mud drying. Wastewater volume has less effect on releases of chemical oxygen demand (COD) than expected. Energy balances are highly dependent on the age of the mill and on whether the pulping and papermaking operations are integrated. Energy balances are usually unaffected by single technology developments.

One of the main problems faced by farmers in Tonjong Village, Tajur Halang Regency, Bogor is that the selling price of pure milk in 1 liter is quite low. Public knowledge regarding processing technology to increase product added value is still low, which is the reason farmers sell pure milk directly. This community service training aims to determine the effect of processing pure milk into mozzarella cheese on increasing community knowledge and skills. This increase in knowledge was measured using a one group pretest posttest design which was carried out in a prametric analysis using a paired sample t-test to see the difference in the mean scores. This training activity was given to 10 people in the community around the cattle farm in Tonjong Village who had an age range of 26-70 years and had the last education from elementary to high school. The results of this training community service indicate that there is a significant effect of giving on increasing community knowledge as evidenced by the significantly different pretest (68%) and posttest (87%) values (p <0.05). The expected results of community service can be implemented independently by breeders to increase the added value of dairy products through the processing of mozzarella cheese.

Purple yam (Dioscorea alata L.) is a local food with many sources of antioxidants, so it becomes a staple food for the community. The addition of purple yam flour to the production of cendol is expected to help increase the selling value of cendol and also purple yam. This research aims to produce cendol with the addition of purple yam flour which has antioxidant activity and liked by the panelists. A completely randomized factorial design was used in this study using 2 factors, namely the treatment of variations in the length of cooking time and variations in the concentration of purple yam flour added, so that 9 treatment combinations were obtained, namely the addition of 10%, 20% and 30% purple yam flour with a cooking time of 10, 15 and 20 minutes. The results showed that there was an effect of cooking time and the addition of purple yam flour concentration had an effect on the chemical properties and preferences of cendol.The best cendol formulation was the addition of 30% purple yam flour and 20 minutes of cooking time. The selected purple yam cendol has nutritional value: ash content 0.082%, antioxidant content 15.55% RSA, phenol content 8.33 mg GAE/g db body and anthocyanin content 15.86 mg/100 g db. Cendol substituted for purple yam flour can ward off free radicals because it has a purple pigment derived from anthocyanin, an antioxidant.

East Nusa Tenggara (ENT) is a province in Indonesia with diverse flora, including the diversity of local legumes. It has been extensively explored and reported in various scientific publications, especially the types of legumes, their nutritional composition, and their uses in local communities. However, few literature studies still comprehensively review the types of legumes, their nutritional composition, and their utilization in the local community of ENT. So, this literature review aims to briefly review the diversity, chemical composition, and use of local legumes from the dry lands of ENT. Various studies reported that Glycine max, Arachis hypogaea, Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek, Cajanus cajan, Vigna unguiculata, Phaseolus lunatus, Vigna umbellata, Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet, Mucuna pruriens (L.) DC, Phaseolus vulgaris L, Psopocarpus tetragonolobus (L.) DC, and Pueraria montana var. lobata (Willd.) Sanjappa & Pradeep nuts are commonly found in the ENT region, either cultivated by the local community or grown wild. Generally, local legumes in ENT have a relatively complete nutritional composition, which varies depending on the type of bean. The ENT's local people use local beans as a mixture of rice/corn and function as sources of protein. Future research is needed to explore the functional characteristics of each ENT local bean. In addition, it is necessary to develop formulations and other food products to utilize ENT's local legumes to diversify legume-based local food.

There is evidence that education levels have an impact on people's attitudes toward vaccination. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to maximize vaccinations - one of the most efficient ways to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. Young individuals play a major role in disease transmission due to their intense social life and frequent asymptomatic infections. In this study, a survey of upper secondary school students in Poland was conducted to assess their microbiological awareness depending on subjects that they studied on the extended level and COVID-19 vaccination willingness. Participants learning biology and chemistry on the extended level had significantly higher microbiological awareness. Clear proof of microbiological awareness's influence on vaccination willingness was not found. Although studying biology did not significantly influence students' willingness to be vaccinated, their place of residence did. Students from bigger cities were more willing to get vaccinated. These results show that while science education raises microbiological awareness among upper secondary school students, place of residence, likely through social pressure, is a more important factor influencing vaccination willingness. It is suggested that more effort should be put into educating society as a whole and encouraging vaccination particularly.

Each student's individual experience in learning is very important. Lower secondary school students are engaged in activities that focus on inquiry rather than the acquisition of scientific knowledge in science classrooms. Therefore, the experiences and thoughts of lower secondary school students in the stage of scientific inquiry need to be analyzed. To this end, the internal and external experiences of students in the stages of observation, variable control, and conclusion drawing were analyzed through candle-burning experiments. Seventy-seven 6th-grade students were used as participants. The main activities; main actions; main thoughts; and contribution of actions, consciousness, and emotions were analyzed. No differences were observed in the external and internal experiences of male and female students in each stage of the inquiry activities. There were many cases in which other activities related to the inquiry were carried out in addition to the activities that were mainly performed at the corresponding stage. About 1/4 of the participants had internal experiences unrelated to inquiry. The results showed that interaction needs to be increased by including the variable control stage in the inquiry activities. Given that there were no differences in the external and internal experiences of male and female students, equal inquiry activities without gender discrimination can be achieved.
