Published: October 2023

GW170817–GRB 170817A provided the first observation of gravitational waves from a neutron star merger with associated transient counterparts across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. This discovery demonstrated the long-hypothesized association between short gamma-ray bursts and neutron star mergers. More joint detections are needed to explore the relation between the parameters inferred from the gravitational wave and the properties of the gamma-ray burst signal. We developed a joint multimessenger analysis of LIGO, Virgo, and Fermi/GBM data designed for detecting weak gravitational-wave transients associated with weak gamma-ray bursts. As such, it does not start from confident (GWTC-1) events only. Instead, we take the full list of existing compact binary coalescence triggers generated with the PyCBC pipeline from the second Gravitational-Wave Observing Run (O2), and reanalyze the entire set of public Fermi/GBM data covering this observing run to generate a corresponding set of gamma-ray burst candidate triggers. We then search for coincidences between the gravitational-wave and gamma-ray burst triggers without requiring a confident detection in any channel. The candidate coincidences are ranked according to a statistic combining each candidate’s strength in gravitational-wave and gamma-ray data, their time proximity, and the overlap of their sky localization. The ranking is then converted to a false alarm rate using time shifts between the gravitational-wave and gamma-ray burst triggers. We present the results using O2 triggers, which allowed us to check the validity of our method against GW170817–GRB 170817A. We also discuss the different configurations tested to maximize the significance of the joint detection.

Published: October 2023

We present the the new Swift/UVOT+MaNGA (SwiM) catalog (SwiM_v4.1). SwiM_v4.1 is designed to study star formation and dust attenuation within nearby galaxies given the unique overlap of Swift/UVOT near-ultraviolet (NUV) imaging and MaNGA integral field optical spectroscopy. SwiM_v4.1 comprises 559 objects, ∼4 times more than the original SwiM catalog (SwiM_v3.1), spans the redshift range z ≈ 0.0002–0.1482, and provides a more diverse and rich sample. Approximately 5% of the final MaNGA sample is included in SwiM_v4.1, and 42% of the SwiM_v4.1 galaxies are cross-listed with other well-known catalogs. We present the same data as SwiM_v3.1, including UVOT images, Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) images, and MaNGA emission-line and spectral index maps with the same pixel size and angular resolution for each galaxy, and a file containing galaxy and observational properties. We designed SwiM_v4.1 to be unbiased, which resulted in some objects having low signal-to-noise ratios in their MaNGA or Swift data. We addressed this by providing a new file containing the fraction of science-ready pixels in each MaNGA emission-line map, and the integrated flux and inverse variance for all three NUV filters. The uniform angular resolution and sampling in SwiM_v4.1 will help answer a number of scientific questions, including constraining quenching and attenuation in the local Universe and studying the effects of black hole feedback. The galaxy maps, catalog files, and their associated data models are publicly released on the SDSS website (a description of the SwiM VAC is provided at https://www.sdss4.org/dr17/data_access/value-added-catalogs/?vac_id=swift-manga-value-added-catalog, and the data are stored on the SDSS Science Archive Server at https://data.sdss.org/sas/dr17/manga/swim/v4.1/).
Fast Radio Bursts: Electromagnetic Counterparts to Extreme Mass-ratio Inspirals
Authors: Li Rui-Nan , Zhao Zhen-Yin , Gao Zhifu , Wang Fa-Yin
Published: October 2023

Recent observations discovered that some repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs) show a large value and complex variations of Faraday rotation measures (RMs). The binary systems containing a supermassive black hole and a neutron star can be used to explain such RM variations. Meanwhile, such systems produce low-frequency gravitational-wave (GW) signals, which are one of the primary interests of three proposed space-based GW detectors: the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), Tianqin, and Taiji. These signals are known as extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs). Therefore, FRBs can serve as candidates of electromagnetic counterparts for EMRI signals. In this Letter, we study the EMRI signals in this binary system, which can be detected up to z ∼ 0.04 by LISA and Tianqin for the most optimistic case. Assuming the cosmic comb model for FRB production, the total event rate can be as high as ∼1 Gpc−3 yr−1. EMRI signals associated with FRBs can be used to reveal the progenitor of FRBs. It is also a new type of standard siren, which can be used as an independent cosmological probe.
Instrumental Effects of Lyα Properties in CLASSY and Implication for HETDEX and JWST
Authors: Martinez Zorayda , Gazagnes Simon , Berg Danielle A.
Published: October 2023

In this work, we quantify the effects of spectral resolution (R) on the measured Lyα properties and determine the robustness of Lyα trends measured with different spectrographs. We select 9 galaxies with diverse Lyα properties from the COS Legacy Archive Spectroscopic SurveY and measure the equivalent width and peak velocities of their Lyα profiles from their high-resolution spectra (R ∼ 4225–15000). We downgrade these spectra to several lower resolutions (R ∼ 800–3500) and re-measure the Lyα properties. Using these values, we derive the systematic errors and investigate the robustness of Lyα properties as a function of spectral resolution. We find that equivalent width can be robustly measured at low R. However, the minimal spectral resolution required to obtain robust measurements of the Lyα peak velocities is R ≳ 2600 (Δv = 115 km s−1).

Published: October 2023

We present the discovery of a new stellar companion to GJ 835, detected using the Differential Speckle Survey Instrument on the 4.3 m Lowell Discovery Telescope and the Astrophysical Research Consortium 3.5 m telescope at Apache Point Observatory. This new companion joins a known companion in the system, making the system triple. Using 2MASS and Gaia data, as well as our observed properties, we estimate projected separations and spectral types for the three components in the system.
Two new Oxynoemacheilus species in western Anatolia (Teleostei, Nemacheilidae)
Authors: Turan Davut , Aksu Sadi , Kalayci Gökhan
Published: October 2023

Oxynoemacheilus sakaryaensissp. nov., is restricted to the Sakarya River basin, and O. melenicussp. nov., is distributed in both the Sakarya River and Büyükmelen Stream. Oxynoemacheilus sakaryaensis is distinguished by having a flank plain or with numerous irregularly shaped pale brownish bars and a caudal-peduncle depth 2.8–3.2 times in its length. Oxynoemacheilus melenicus is distinguished by having a flank with 10–13 irregular shaped brownish bars or blotches and the caudal peduncle depth 1.9–2.8 times in its length. Oxynoemacheilus banarescui, O. samanticus, O. simavicus, O. fatsaensis, O. sakaryaensis, and O. melenicus are valid, which belong to the O. bergianus species group. O. melenicus and O. sakaryaensis were differentiated from all other Oxynoemacheilus species in western Anatolia by two diagnostic and unique nucleotide substitution sites in the COI barcoding region. Also, species delineation tests (ABGD, GMYC, ASAP) and phylogenetic analyses support the validity of O. melenicus and O. sakaryaensis as distinct species.
Cosmoética y vacunas contra la COVID-19. Más allá de la propuesta cosmopolítica
Authors: Baleriola Escudero Enrique , Tirado Serrano Francisco , Gálvez Ana
Published: October 2023

La gestión de la pandemia de COVID-19 por parte de los países occidentales es uno de los temas más controvertidos de los estudios sociales actuales. Uno de los conceptos centrales para analizar la ordenación de la gestión de la pandemia es el de Cosmopolítica, ya que nos permite ampliar la comprensión de la política para incluir a los ciudadanos, a los seres vivos no humanos, a los elementos terrestres y al propio SARS-CoV-2. Pero como argumentamos en este artículo, la cosmopolítica necesita un poder previo, una potentia generativa que emana de la disposición de los actores mencionados. A partir del ejemplo de los meses en que se desarrolló y comenzó a inocularse la vacuna contra la COVID-19, ilustraremos la propuesta cosmoética: una ética afirmativa que tiñe y permea el agenciamiento de actores que constituyen la vacuna, permitiendo su despliegue para un posterior momento cosmopolítica. De este modo, concluimos que la gestión de la pandemia necesita no sólo atender a los ciudadanos no expertos o a los actores no humanos, sino también atender a la emergencia de nuevas realidades, tiempos y espacios.
México en las Conferencias Americanas del Trabajo del periodo de entreguerras: Santiago de Chile y La Habana (1936-1939)
Authors: Herrera León Fabián
Published: October 2023

Este artículo ofrece una primera aproximación a la participación mexicana en las célebres Conferencias de los Países Americanos Miembros de la Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT) de Santiago (1936) y La Habana (1939). Al tratarse de un episodio bastante desconocido por lo que respecta a México, su estudio permitirá apreciar la cooperación de este país y su representación tripartita con la centenaria organización multilateral. La trayectoria mexicana en la OIT y las Conferencias del Trabajo ―tras su ingreso en la organización en 1931― presentan una cierta madurez potenciada por el extraordinario acercamiento de las Conferencias del Trabajo al ámbito occidental en un contexto de descomposición del sistema internacional de entreguerras con eje en Ginebra.
Les grands Mammifères de Madagascar
Authors: Guérin Claude
Published: October 2023

Les grands Mammifères fossiles de Madagascar sont tous holocènes, aucun gisement pléistocène important n’ayant encore été découvert. Ils présentent une biodiversité relativement limitée, sans cas particulier de nanisme ni de gigantisme: ce sont des Primates (7 familles de Lémuriens, comprenant quelques genres de très grande taille comme Megaladapis, Archaeoindris, Palaeopropithecus, Hadropithecus), des Carnivores (une seule famille, les Viverridés, avec un seul genre de taille notable, Cryptoprocta) et quelques Ongulés (deux ou trois familles d’Artiodactyles, parmi lesquelles les Hippopotamidae comptant trois espèces d’Hippopota-mus, les Suidae et les Tubulidentés avec deux espèces de Plesiorycteropus). Une extinction brutale s’est produite au cours du dernier millénaire et, en ce qui concerne les grands Mammifères, elle est à l’origine de la disparition d’au moins 8 genres et 16 espèces de lémuriens (dont toutes les formes de grande taille) et de deux ou trois genres et 5 ou 6 espèces d’Ongulés, dont tous les Hippopotames et les Tubulidentés.La grande faune holocène malgache a de toute évidence été connue par l’homme, qui a débarqué dans l’île il y a environ deux millénaires ; l’homme paraît impliqué dans l’extinction de nombreuses espèces, sans que l’on sache encore exactement comment.

Nova traditio. La fête de la Conception de la Vierge Marie au Mont Saint-Michel (XIIe-XVe siècles)
Authors: Dary Marie-Bénédicte
Published: October 2023

L’expression nova traditio employée par
Bernard de Clairvaux dans sa biographie de saint Malachie (§ 42) pour
louer son œuvre de restaurateur et d’innovateur convient pour désigner
le statut de la solennité de la Conception de la Vierge quand elle est
introduite début XIIe siècle au Mont Saint-Michel
au sein d’une tradition liturgique partiellement héritée de Guillaume
de Volpiano. En complément des études liturgiques réalisées à
l’occasion du Millénaire monastique du Mont Saint-Michel, l’auteur
montre la dépendance de l’ajout de la messe du 8 décembre au
Sacramentaire du Mont [Rouen, Bibl. patrim. François Villon,
ms Suppl. 116] avec le Missel de Winchester [Le Havre, Bibl. mun.,
ms 330 (A32)], propriété de la bibliothèque de saint Wandrille,
manuscrit qui a vraisemblablement été le pont entre Angleterre et
Normandie dans l’introduction de la fête du 8 décembre. On observe
durant les siècles suivants à l’abbaye montoise une fidélité à cette
solennité par son inscription dans les calendriers, par le choix d’un
rit propre à la fête pour la messe et l’office et par le degré de la
fête. Cependant la mise en ordre du XIIIe siècle
dont le poids s’exerce aussi dans le domaine liturgique modifie,
certes de façon réduite, la portée théologique de la fête. Ce double
mouvement, fondé sur la stabilité et la création d’une tradition
propre à l’abbaye mais qui reste perméable aux influences extérieures,
ne fait pas du scriptorium du Mont Saint-Michel un artefact mais un
paradigme du développement de la « Fête aux Normands ». La comparaison
avec les traditions des scriptoriums de Fécamp et Jumièges permet de
l’affirmer et de mieux cerner les enjeux de cette « innovation
traditionnée » pour l’abbaye montoise. Mais elle laisse également
entrevoir l’existence d’une réforme liturgique active au XIIIe siècle à laquelle les scriptoriums du Mont et de
Fécamp se sont soumis.

Caring for Yourself as an Adjunct Faculty Member
Authors: Robinson Michael A.
Published: October 2023

Adjunct faculty members must cope with low wages, a lack of benefits and job security, and poor working conditions, all of which amount to burnout and emotional exhaustion. Although there has been extensive research conducted on the working conditions and pay of adjunct instructors, there is little research conducted on the self-care strategies for emotionally exhausted adjunct faculty. This chapter will include a review of literature that identifies five key strategies to positively influence the self-efficacy and wellbeing of adjunct faculty members: understanding the self; positive, social, interpersonal relationships; social-emotional skills and emotional intelligence; cognitive reappraisal; and, a positive work-life balance. This chapter concludes with a discussion on the need to continue to find strategies that positively influence the self-efficacy of adjunct faculty, whether through self-care, professional development, or institutional strategies to improve working conditions.
Building Rapport With Students in Short-Term, Solution-Focused Settings
Authors: Minnick Malia
Published: October 2023

Adjunct instructors are hired on an as-needed, part-time basis to provide education to students with a variety of backgrounds. While full-time faculty develop relationships with students over several semesters, adjunct instructors face a revolving door of new students. Despite the challenges of the position, adjunct instructors must build rapport and relationships with students in short-term and solution-focused ways to promote overall success for their students. The approach may vary, but is likely to involve an adaptation of instructor engagement, teaching methods, and display of positive characteristics. With consideration of Schlossberg's theory of mattering and marginality, instructors can help students feel that they matter in the academic setting and promote success. Schlossberg studied how life transitions can impact individuals' perceptions of how well they fit in and how much their presence impacts others. This theory includes five major aspects of mattering: attention, importance, ego-extension, dependence, and appreciation.
Management of Dyscalculia and Dyslexia for a Democratic Education in Cameroon
Authors: Loukson Ives S. , Gayelle Helen Chwienui Ghogomu
Published: October 2023

The study is a contribution to a more democratic education in Cameroon. “La Gaieté” School Complex works as a control panel from which a reliable visualisation of the situation in Cameroon as a whole is at hand. The study shows how undemocratic it is when teachers continually intervene in class unaware of learner's natural and effective disabilities. Dyscalculia and dyslexia are two examples of these natural disorders at stake in the study. Several management methods are suggested and also discussed in relationship with democratic education. The idea of democratic education by John Dewey, Paulo Freire, Henry Giroux, and Amy Gutmann as it includes diversity, equality, participation, choice, and cohesion guides the study theoretically.
Developmental Language Disorders
Authors: Rocha Joana , Santos Ana F. , Coimbra Bruno , Alegria Rita
Published: October 2023

Developmental language disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by unexplained persistent language difficulties, which affects around 7.5% of school children. Despite this prevalence, developmental language disorder has poor public awareness, and early detection is crucial for appropriate assistance and to minimize negative impacts on academic performance and mental, social, and emotional health. Inclusive education demands that learners must be supported to succeed, and interprofessional collaboration between speech-language pathologists/therapists, teachers, and other professionals is essential for the needs of children with developmental language disorder. The chapter aims to increase support and awareness about developmental language disorders in children and focus on collaboration teamwork between teachers and speech-language pathologists/therapists.
Shifting Educators' Mindsets to Support Children With Learning Disabilities to Lessen the Achievement Gap
Authors: Iwuagwu Theodore Ifeanyi , Schnorr Kathleen G. Dell'Arena , Arteaga-Marquez Irene C. , Paul Shavon D. , Buck-Zermane Christina R.
Published: October 2023

A shift in educators' mindsets is needed to narrow the achievement gap for children with learning disabilities (LD). To close the growing gap, educators instructing children with a LD need to develop openness in supporting and providing meaningful assistance to their learners. Shifting teachers' mindsets could help decrease inaccurate assumptions, improve academic achievement, and narrow the achievement gap. Examples of expected shifts include establishing a growth mindset, developing a deepened understanding of learning models, showing an openness to mentoring and coaching support, and ongoing collaboration with families. The assistance of mentors and coaches can provide teachers with the emotional and instructional support needed to shift their mindset, attitude, and instructional practices. In addition, support and collaboration between educators and caregivers can lead to a shift in mindset that would support the learners' academic progress.
Teacher Training and Experience for Students With Learning Disabilities
Authors: Nyemba Florence
Published: October 2023

This chapter explored the urgent need to equip teachers with the knowledge and skills in special education. The substantial increase in students with learning disabilities in the regular classroom is contributing to an educational achievement gap between students with learning disabilities and those without. Data collected for this study using an online survey completed by 75 teachers across the United States indicated that, despite having a large population of students with various learning disabilities in their classrooms, their experiences in teaching them ranged from none to intermediate. Some of the teachers indicated that they have never received IEPs to help them understand the students' learning disabilities, whereas others have no knowledge of the different instructional strategies they can use to effectively accommodate students' learning needs. This chapter indicates that if teachers were better prepared by receiving more training focused on inclusion and special education, all students could benefit.
Early Literacy Intervention Program
Authors: Peixoto Vânia , Alegria Rita , Pestana Pedro
Published: October 2023

A child's early literacy experiences have a long-term impact on reading and writing ability and academic success. Children with more and diverse literacy experiences are at a clear advantage to do better in school. Given that socioeconomic adversity is negatively correlated with children's language development, rich literacy experiences become even more relevant in this population. Children who enter primary school with fewer emergent literacy skills often continue to struggle to achieve academic success and are more likely to be unemployed as adults, hence the need to act from a prevention perspective by universally promoting these skills in preschool children is fundamental. The authors present as an intervention proposal, an emergent literacy program especially targeted to socially disadvantaged pre-school age children. In this program, mediated through storytelling, several emergent literacy skills will be worked on, namely vocabulary, conventions about print, narrative structure, phonological awareness, the child's concept as a reader, and motivation for writing.
Project-Based Learning as a Means of Full Inclusion to Students With Special Needs
Authors: Rubio Antonio Daniel Juan
Published: October 2023

Current educational policies advocate for an inclusive school that includes all students equally, regardless of their social, economic, or cognitive situation. The purpose of this chapter is focused on carrying out a coexistence improvement program aimed at 3rd grade primary students with the purpose of influencing in the knowledge and full integration of all its members. Students with special educational needs (SEN), specifically derived from some type of disability, have demonstrated their desire and need to remain in the group-classroom that corresponds to them and not be segregated to specific classrooms of ordinary centers. Not only do these students express their desire, but also, many scientific studies indicate that the inclusive school is much more beneficial for the development and integration of these students in society. Through the project-based learning method, we will influence the integration into the ordinary classroom of those students who have some special educational need.
Trolling and Victims' Perception of Trolling
Authors: Kapse Shravani Minesh , Gupta Sandhya
Published: October 2023

Online trolling is the practise of engaging in dishonest, harmful, or disruptive behaviour in a social setting over the internet without any apparent gain. If a target falls for their trick, the trolling gets worse for even more heinous enjoyment. Trolling may be distinguished from other forms of online antisociality by its dishonest and “pointless” disruptive features, in contrast to which the perpetrators' names and objectives are usually more transparent. Trolling has adverse negative effects on mental health. Therefore, there is an urgent need to address this issue. This chapter attempted to look into the causes of trolling which is damaging the mental health of people and why people become victims of trolling. Secondly, it assessed whether the damage in mental health vary with age or not. Thematic analysis was conducted on the transcribed data and the findings were discussed.

Authors: Gaur Asmita , Maini Smriti
Published: October 2023

Cyber victimization is a phenomenon where people are subjected to cyber bullying through online harassment, exposure to unsolicited sexual content, and hurtful comments. This phenomenon is said to induce embarrassment, traumatic experiences, and in severe cases, psychopathological cascades. Social withdrawal, shame, and social anxiety are commonly witnessed in victims of cyber bullying. According to previous research and substantiated theories, women are more commonly the victims of online abuse. In such a scenario, a discussion regarding clear definition of cyber victimization, social media addiction processes, prevalence of gender differences, and effects of cyber victimization is important. This chapter aims to review all these relevant topics and discuss neuropsychological mechanisms underlying these processes.
Media
Authors: Mohanty Pragyan , Tripathy Rasmita
Published: October 2023

Gender, viewed differently throughout history, is influenced by media. Media's reach and influence on society, particularly regarding women, can be both positive and negative. Restrictive portrayals of women perpetuate gender-based violence, and media's role in this is concerning. However, media can also be a powerful tool to raise awareness, sensitize people, and promote gender equality. Grassroots efforts, especially in developing countries like India, can benefit from media interventions to inform and uplift marginalized groups. Violence against women, including trafficking and sexual abuse, remains prevalent, highlighting the need for media to address these issues responsibly. Media should be gender-sensitive, trained, and aware of the impact it can have on society. It can challenge stereotypes, showcase strong female role models, and contribute to ending gender inequality. However, media must also avoid sensationalizing sensitive stories and misrepresenting victims. By promoting equality and respect, the media industry can play a pivotal role in shaping perceptions of women.

Cyberfeminism is one that makes the relationship between cyberspace, information and communication technology, and the internet in general. Living in the 21st century we still haven't been able to do justice in giving parity to women as a gender in cyberspace. Hence empowering women for their emancipation in this platform has become the need of the hour. Women are having to face the brunt of such blatant misuse of the cyberspace. There is an intrinsic relation of cyber security with gender violence. Women have been at the receiving end of the stick facing the brunt of gender discrimination even in the virtual world where their extortion and harassment is seen often in opposition to the pledge of the internet for neutrality and equality. Hence, a solution-oriented approach is the need of the hour as has been elucidated in the chapter, connecting the dots and linking every other issue in cyber security to master the art of living in the digital space, deriving optimum output from the same without being masqueraded by the pretentious elements with ulterior motives.

Artificial Intelligence as a Source of Gender Violence
Authors: Dey Sumedha
Published: October 2023

A new proverb has come across for some time now that ‘data is the new gold.' As each day passes, society is grinding under the weight of the constant adjustments that each new development demands of them. Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing a growing role in everyday life. In the course of everyday interactions with the larger community, human society is sort of forced to follow the figurative GPS line. We are now automated by sheer machinery that decides for us what kind and how much breakfast to eat, how long we spend working out in the morning, and those mandatory social media reels that we must post to inform the world about those daily workout sessions, the branded dresses worn, the infinite number of makeup items, shoes, junk bought every day to keep up with the competition. It is like a spreading disease. The pressure of artificial intelligence is such that humans are conditioned to give up thinking on their own.

Authors: Pal Kamalendu
Published: October 2023

Big data analytics has played an enormous role in supply chain operations in recent years. Today, web-applications, social media, intelligent machines, sensors, mobile phones, and other innovative information technology devices generate big data in supply chain operations. These data often provide new digitized services that improve supply chain performance. In this operating environment, heterogeneous enterprise applications, manufacturing processes, or supply chain management, either inside a single enterprise or among network enterprises, require sharing of data-driven information. Thus, data management and its analytical interpretation have become significant drivers for management, product development, and provision of relevant services in network enterprises that function as mediators in effective and sustainable supply chain operations. This chapter reviews the effect of big data analytics on the supply chain operation literature, highlights how modern supply chains can manage sustainability, and presents a conceptual information system architecture.
Evaluation of Machining-Induced Chatter and Part Quality in TiAl Alloys Turning Processes by Means of Harmonics Analysis
Authors: García-Martínez Enrique , Miguel Valentín , Manjabacas María Carmen , Coello Juana , Radu Maria Crina
Published: October 2023

Titanium alloys have been reported as potential materials for aeronautical and automotive applications due to their interesting mechanical properties, combined with their low density. The manufacturing processes developed for these alloys require finishing machining operations to improve the surface quality of the parts and to meet the desired geometrical tolerances. Nevertheless, titanium aluminides exhibit extremely low machinability in comparison to traditional titanium alloys. The combination of the low thermal diffusivity of these materials and the high chemical affinity and friction coefficient with the cutting tools accelerate tool wear phenomena and lead to a deterioration of the part surface quality. Moreover, the mechanical properties of titanium aluminides contribute to increase the cutting forces which generates tool repulsion resulting in undesirable vibration or chatter phenomena. In this paper, the machining suitability of the turning process of Ti48Al2Cr2Nb titanium aluminide has been evaluated based on the analysis of chatter phenomena and the inspection of the surface roughness and roundness tolerance of the machined part. Experimental turning tests have been carried out by varying the main parameters of the process, cutting speed, feed rate and tool geometry, with the objective of determining the best cutting combination. For this purpose, a harmonic analysis methodology of the roundness profile based on the application of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) has been employed. This technique has made it possible to isolate the vibration-induced machining effects from the lower frequency defects generated by part bending and to relate them to the surface quality and geometrical accuracy of the machined part.

Nowadays, drilling is one of the most widespread operations due to the need to obtain holes for mechanical joints. This operation is particularly relevant in the aeronautical sector due to the high number of operations performed, the high demands and the use of materials that are difficult to machine. The use of materials that enhance aircraft performance, such as carbon fiber composites (CFRP), poses a challenge for axial drilling operations. The characteristics of these materials and typical defects such as delamination are difficult to control due to the axial forces produced during drilling operations. Therefore, more efficient alternatives are required. In this context, helical milling operations have advantages such as lower axial stress, higher flexibility, and higher efficiency in heat and chip evacuation that put it in the spotlight. In this work, research has been carried out in which helical milling operations have been performed on CFRP. The main objectives were the analysis of surface quality, delamination, tool wear and force analysis. For this purpose, a working methodology has been developed combining machining parameters that define the kinematics of the cutting process (cutting speed, axial feed rate, and tangential feed rate). Finally, this information has allowed finding a correlation between quality indicators such as delamination and the forces generated during the cutting process and associated with progressive tool wear. The results show that the force signal could be used for on-line monitoring of the machining process.

Hard materials are widely used in industry due to qualities such as strong fatigue strength and the ability to maintain strength at a high temperature. Still forming certain raw materials into the appropriate shapes is the challenge in subtractive manufacturing industries and these materials are categorized as hard to machine material. To solve this problem Heat Assisted Machining (HAM) is an emerging and most dominating method, which requires an external heat source subjected to the workpiece either before or during the machining to increase the ductility. As a result, the workpiece yield and shear strength are reduced. This is an advanced technique to enhance the tool’s life, and productivity. The present paper provides in-depth knowledge of thermal assisted machining process where various heat sources are used like laser, plasma, LPG, Induction heating and etc. The comparison analysis between various heat sources is made and their impact on various parameters like tool wear, material removal rate, surface roughness, stability and etc. were illustrated and provide the novel approach for selecting the correct heat-assisted technique which is used for turning process in order to increase the machining process.

In order to successfully reduce the emission of toxic organic solvents harmful to human health and the environment during the application and curing of paints and varnishes (VPM), ways to create environmentally friendly organically soluble VPM "SB" and water-dispersed VPM "WB" are proposed. The influence of the values of dry residues in solutions of organic oligomers and the density of the components of pigmented materials on the values of the content of volatile organic compounds (VOC) for different types of materials has been studied. Mathematical analysis of situations with the addition and reduction of the amount of solvents allowed to set the limit values of the amount of solvents in varnishes for "SB" materials with different densities and VOC = 300 g/l. The influence of volumetric concentration of pigments, dry residue of varnishes and density of pigments and fillers on the VOC content in materials has been studied. The ratios of VPM components have been optimized and formulations of environmentally friendly materials have been developed.

A chemical bath deposition technique was used to create the transparent, finely adherent ZnS and Lanthanum doped ZnS thin films on a glass substrate. The films were obtained in a water bath with reaction solutions containing Zinc, Lanthanum precursors, and trisodium citrate as a complexing agent. The amorphous nature of the films was confirmed by an X-ray diffractometer and the porosity of the films was checked by field emission scanning electron microscope. The presence of Lanthanum in ZnS films was confirmed by EDS. To find the band gap UV-Visible spectroscopy analysis was carried out. The impurity phase and the Raman modes were recognized by Raman spectroscopy. Further studies on the water splitting and photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes using La-ZnS nanomaterials are underway in our laboratory.

Obtaining multi-material parts by material extrusion processes is becoming more interesting as the available materials permit achieving superior properties in the 3D printed products. Combining conductive filament with other with elastomeric properties makes it possible to materialise electrical circuits for introducing active elements in specific parts, such as sensors, triggers or antennas. In this context, a test bench has been designed, manufactured and set-up, to evaluate the electrical behaviour of multi-material 3D printed test samples composed of two or more materials, being one a conductor of electricity (at least) and the other(s) non-conductive but flexible. The functionalities of the test bench include the possibility to apply tensile, compressive, shear, or flexural loads to the test samples. The electrical performance of the samples can be assessed in terms of resistivity and capacitance, in real time, when the test bench stands still and when it conducts the series of movements that produce the elastic deformation of the samples. To achieve this, three electronic circuits have been designed with their own corresponding control with Arduino: a circuit to measure the variation of the resistance of the test samples, a circuit to measure the variation of the capacitance of the test samples, and a circuit controlling the movements of the mechanical set (motor and terminals) that generates the deformation of the test samples. The test bench is connected to a desktop computer to ease the data export, treatment, and visualisation. As a set-up of the test bench, several preliminary experimentation measurements have been done to assess factors of interest such as sensitivity and a correlation index. The present work also frames the requirements of the parts to be tested in the bench and outlines the work procedure to carry out the series of experiments.
The decolonising of theology through African proverbs
Authors: Resane Kelebogile T.
Published: October 2023

The decolonisation of theology has been a subject in academia for almost 60 years. In this article, although referring to African proverbs as a way of decolonising theology all the proverbs are in the Setswana language, which the author is knowledgeable of and is conversant with; however, most of these proverbs cut across tribal, ethnic, and geographical boundaries. The objectives are, among others, to demonstrate the richness of African philosophy and wisdom expressed through proverbs, idioms, and folklore. These proverbs are sapient and capable of articulating theology, therefore making theology contextual and relevant for Africans. Definitions of proverbs start the discussions. A literature review and common knowledge are used to validate the facts stated. Three areas are chosen where and how the proverbs can be used to formulate and validate theological truth. Firstly, the area of ethics where proverbs are used in ethical instructions regarding morality and values, community and cooperation, leadership, family life, as well as respect and integrity. The second area is theologising through proverbs by which dogmatisation can be achieved highlighting the view of theology, a database in theologising, an authority base, and hermeneutical principle. Thirdly, proverbs can be used to strengthen communion ecclesiology. The conclusion is drawn that theology can unshackle itself from the clutches of colonialism, if African philosophy and wisdom expressed through proverbs can be engaged in hermeneutical processes and the contextualisation of theology in the African context.Contribution: The article engages the Setswana language, African philosophy, and theology to strengthen the theme of decolonising theology. It is both interdisciplinary and intradisciplinary as it engages anthropology, linguistics, human philosophy, theological ethics, dogmatics, and ecclesiology.
