Intellectual authorities and hubs of Green Chemistry
Authors: MARCELINO Leonardo Victor , PINTO Adilson Luiz , MARQUES Carlos Alberto
Published: November 2020

Abstract Green Chemistry is a self-organized movement of chemists intended to prevent and minimize the use and production of dangerous substances and processes. The current output and growing rate of the field hinders descriptive analysis of its contents, innovations (if any), and dynamics. Therefore, new methodologies must be sought. This research aims at broadening the understanding on the structure of Green Chemistry by pointing out its intellectual hubs (researchers important to the spread and consolidation of knowledge) and its intellectual authorities, the sources of that knowledge. Documents (N=14,142) either containing the term “green chemistry” or published in the Green Chemistry Journal and the Green Chemistry Letters and Reviews between 1990 and 2017 were analyzed by co-citation and network analysis. Sixteen clusters were grouped in six big specialties, from which 14 hubs and 21 authorities were found. Results corroborate previous analyses of the field, but this research has the advantage of stemming from the dynamics of scientific production, rather than from previously defined qualitative categories of the field itself.
Analysis of the model of integration of multicultural media in the network’s space of public opinion
Authors: WANG Liang , DONG Chen
Published: November 2020

Abstract When the traditional Meta database model is used to integrate multicultural media in the network’s space of public opinion, the performance of cooperative processing of distributed heterogeneous network data is poor, the logic of integration of multicultural media information is poor, the integration time is long, and the accuracy is low. This article proposes a multicultural media integration model based on multi-agent collaboration, which combines the life cycle of multicultural media models in the network’s space of public opinion. In distributed heterogeneous network spaces of public opinion, data is obtained from the distributed multicultural media information source, transferred to the multi-agent, and the collaboration among the agents is constructed. The multicultural media integration model provides the work flow and the standard principle of the model, and shapes the integrated model’s architecture including the data layer, the middle layer, and the expression layer, so as to achieve the intelligent integration of the multicultural media information. The experimental results show that the proposed model has high practicability, high integration efficiency and accuracy, and can enhance the penetration of multicultural media brands.
Gestação e parto em uma comunidade rural amazônica: reflexões sobre o papel da parteira tradicional
Authors: Silva Sandra Cavalcante , Dias-Scopel Raquel , Schweickardt Júlio
Published: November 2020

O artigo tem como objetivo a reflexão sobre o papel social das parteiras e sua relação com os serviços de saúde na comunidade rural de Lindoia, município de Itacoatiara, Amazonas. Nessa comunidade, há uma sala de parto onde atua uma auxiliar de enfermagem que se identifica como parteira, sendo que também atua como articuladora entre outras parteiras da localidade. Realizamos 13 entrevistas abertas e dez semiestruturadas para discutir a inserção das parteiras tradicionais na Unidade Básica de Saúde (UBS), buscando analisar as aproximações e os estranhamentos entre parteiras e equipe. Conclui-se que as parteiras da comunidade conquistaram um espaço importante na UBS, mas suas ações são limitadas e reguladas pela gestão e pela equipe de saúde. Entende-se que há necessidade de ampliarmos o diálogo intercultural entre os saberes biomédicos e tradicionais no cotidiano do cuidado em saúde.

Published: November 2020

Drinking water resources are scarce and are gradually depleting throughout the world. Water contamination by heavy metals is making the situation worse because it makes water unsuitable for potable use. Heavy metals are hazardous to any aquatic ecosystem, as these adversely influence the food chain and consequently human health. In the present study, Curcuma longa-mediated silver nanoparticles (T-AgNPs)-based sensors are reported to detect heavy metals by naked-eye and ultraviolet (UV)-based methods. A sharp UV peak at 400 nm (C-AgNPs) and a broader peak at 440 nm (T-AgNPs) were recorded. Scanning electron microscopy revealed the spherically shaped morphology of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with sizes of 30–50 nm (T-AgNPs) and 20–25 nm (C-AgNPs). The results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy indicated that compounds containing functional groups (–C–H, >C=C<, >C=O) played an important role in the reduction and capping of the AgNPs. C-AgNPs (K2) after interaction with manganese (Mn) (II) ions led to the prominent deepening of the yellowish color. In contrast, biological AgNPs (K4) led to the formation of a prominent complex. Green-synthesized AgNPs allowed single-step, cost-effective, colorimetric detection of manganese (II) and mercury (Hg) (I) in the aqueous solution.
Toddbrook: the independent government review a forensic approach to causality
Authors: Mason Peter J.
Published: November 2020

The Toddbrook embankment dam was constructed in 1840. A concrete auxiliary spillway chute was added to its crest and downstream slope 50 years ago in 1970. On the 31 July 2019 the auxiliary spillway discharged a significant flood. The following day, as flows died down, the chute progressively collapsed. The author was the all reservoirs panel engineer and member of the independent governmental review team, charged with establishing the cause. The paper describes the forensic approach adopted and how that identified the immediate causal mechanism to be the injection of large quantities of water through cracks on the chute due to flows impacting rocks embedded on the chute invert and developing stagnation pressures. It also concluded that many factors such as poor design, deterioration, poor maintenance and some aspects of poor construction, all probably contributed to weakness in the chute which facilitated crack development.
The impact of temperature, chlorides and sulfate-reducing bacteria on the corrosion of steel in soil
Authors: Ding Ling , Poursaee Amir
Published: November 2020

This investigation aimed to study the corrosion performance of low-carbon steel in a soil environment at different temperatures. The steel specimens in the soil were treated at three temperatures: 5, 25 and 60°C. The specimens were embedded in chloride-free soil for 21 days, and then 3.5% (by weight) sodium chloride (NaCl) was added to the soil. The specimens were then kept in the chloride-contaminated soil for 54 days. The results of electrochemical experiments showed superior corrosion performance of the specimens at 60°C, which had the lowest corrosion activity, followed by the specimens at 5 and 25°C. The slow nature of the kinetics of the corrosion reactions at 5°C compared with that at ambient temperature was the reason for this improvement at 5°C. The lower number of microorganisms, including sulfate-reducing bacteria, in the soil at 60°C compared with that at the other temperatures was attributed to the lower corrosion activity of steel in the soil at 60°C compared with the corrosion activity of steel in the soil at other temperatures.
Mitigating deterioration of cement-treated clay by microbe-based calcite precipitation
Authors: Ikoma Satoru , Hata Toshiro , Yagi Mitsuharu , Senjyu Tomoharu
Published: November 2020

Cement is a crucial raw material widely used in ground improvement applications. However, on exposure to seawater, cement deteriorates due to the exchange of calcium and magnesium. Previous studies have proposed the countermeasure of microbiologically induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) in an effort to mitigate this deterioration process. However, most MICP studies are laboratory based and address sand instead of clay. This study presents the preparation of samples of cement-treated clay with added urea and urease-producing bacteria (Sporosarcina aquimarina). Seawater exposure tests were conducted in both laboratory and in situ. The results show that S. aquimarina remained active, hydrolysing urea in cement-treated soil under highly alkaline conditions. In MICP-treated samples, the leaching of calcium and absorption of magnesium were reduced. Moreover, the exposed surfaces were replenished with calcite crystals, thereby mitigating the deterioration. In situ, the deterioration proceeded ∼1.5 times faster than in the laboratory, whereas in the deep sea, the deterioration was considerably slower. Nevertheless, the deterioration mitigation effect was confirmed at all depths. Therefore, the approach of premixing S. aquimarina and urea into cement applies to clay, and the proposed technique was demonstrated in situ.
Examining challenges experienced by street vendors in the global south: Case of Karachi
Authors: Ahmed Noman , Ahmed Suneela , Ahmed Saeed Uddin
Published: November 2020

This research study documents and analyses the precarious situation of the street vendors in Karachi with respect to the challenges they face on an everyday basis in terms of accessibility to physical space, and the hindrances that come forth in the form of non-accommodating operations and administrative policies. Three localities from district south in Karachi have been chosen and compared as case studies. The lessons that can be drawn from these practices in terms of quasi-self-regulated regimes of public space utilisation and the services offered through it within the urban informal domain are outlined. The study demonstrates the tenacity of the vendors in negotiating a niche for their operations in an otherwise challenging urban context, without any facilitation from municipal agencies or formal sector. This study contributes towards the changing attitude towards urban informality and rather than viewing informality as being problematic, it outlines its potentials and resultant policy implications. The methodology for case studies documentation and analysis is based on open-ended interviews of street vendors and concerned officials, participation in court proceedings and field notes of discussion with relevant government functionaries. The findings highlight the opportunities that are available for the street vendors within the informal paradigm.

THE IMAGE OF THE KIEVAN RUS POPULATION IN BYZANTINE SOURCES
Authors:   National Museum of Ukrainian Pottery in Opishne (Opishne, Ukraine), Rakhno K.Yu.
Published: November 2020

Drawing on Byzantine written sources and fine arts, this article reproduces the Byzantine ideas about the image of the Kievan Rus population. They primarilyrelate to the anthropological characteristics of the Rusins: face contours, complexion, eyes and hair color, men’s hairstyles, character. Such data can be found in the historical works by Leo the Deacon, Michael Psellos, Anna Komnene, Georgius Pachymeres. Another valuable source is the Byzantine mosaic of the Last Judgment in Torcello, which contains alleged images of the Rusins and their ruler. The works of the Byzantine authors of the 10th – 13th centuries are not only an important source of historical ethnography of the Northern Black Sea region. They also allow considering the data on the appearance of the Rusins as part of the image of “aliens”, barbarians who oppose the Byzantine civilization and threaten its existence. This image could sometimes merge with the eschatological beliefs of the Byzantines.
UKRAINIAN MOVEMENT AND CZECHOSLOVAK POLICY IN THE RUSIN QUESTION DURING THE INTERWAR PERIOD AS REFLECTED BY AMERIKANSKY RUSSKY VIESTNIK
Authors:   Branch of Russian State Social University in Minsk (Minsk, Belarus), Shevchenko K. V.
Published: November 2020

The article analyzes the publications of a leading Rusin periodical in North America, Amerikansky russky viestnik, which during the interwar period was the official bulletin of the Greek Catholic Union of Rusin Brotherhoods based in Homestead, Pennsylvania. In its numerous publications, Amerikansky russky viestnik paid great attention to the genesis and further development of the Ukrainian movement and to different aspects of Czechoslovak policy towards Rusin population in Subcarpathian Rus and Eastern Slovakia. In particular, Amerikansky russky viestnik voiced criticism about different aspects of the Ukrainian movement emphasizing its totally artificial character, anti- Slavic and anti-Russian orientation as well as its total dependence on German and Austrian politics during the First World War. As Amerikansky russky viestnik pointed out, the Ukrainian movement played a role of a mere tool of the German anti-Slavic policy in Central Europe. As far as the Rusin politics of interwar Czechoslovakia is concerned, Amerikansky russky viestnik and other Rusin periodicals in the USA criticized the Czechoslovak authorities for their wide-scale and generous support of the Ukrainian movement in the Carpathian region pointing out that such attitude might endanger the stability of Czechoslovak state in future. Apart from that, Amerikansky russky viestnik was extremely critical of the language, educational, and cultural policy of Czechoslovak government, which supported the policy of the “soft ukrainization” of the indigenous Rusin population in the south of the Carpathian region. The American newspaper voiced concerns about the absence of the true autonomy of Subcarpathian Rus within Czechoslovakia, which violated international treaties and Czechoslovak Constitution.
METHODS OF CRIMINOLOGICAL RESEARCH
Authors:   Tomsk State University (Tomsk, Russian Federation), Prosumentov Lev M. , Shesler Alexander V. ,   Tomsk State University (Tomsk, Russian Federation)
Published: November 2020

The article deals with the methods used in the study of the phenomena that make up the subject of criminology. The main task is to analyze the content of the methodology, general scientific methods, private methods and techniques used in criminological studies. In the course of their work, the authors used metaphysics and dialectic as a methodology; showed the specifics of their application to crime, as well as legal background for the nature of criminality e.g. its public danger. The authors used such general scientific methods as general scientific approaches and mid-level theories. In the case of criminality, the use of a systematic approach and philosophical teaching about human activity is shown. This enabled them to present criminality as a system the structural trait of which is a crime, and a holistic quality is a public danger which synthesizes the public danger of crimes, perpetrators and criminal groups. As a theory of the middle level, the theory of psychological alienation of the person is applied, according to which the typological feature of the criminal's personality is its anxiety for its social or biological status since the crime is psychological protection for external circumstances that cause such anxiety. Among private methods, the emphasis is on the statis-tical method used to characterize quantitative-quality crime indicators and a sociological one (interviewing, conversation, interviews, expert evaluation, analysis of documents, observa-tion). The methods above have limited possibilities: criminal statistics operate with data only on the recorded crimes, reflected in the documents of primary records, the closed criminal environment does not allow to use the method of included surveillance; the method of inter-viewing the participants of criminal groups and their relatives often gives false information, or cannot be applied because the persons in question refuse to be involved in questioning at all; the experiment deals only with certain aspects of criminal justice. The authors conclude that the combination of methodology, general scientific and specific research methods, the specificity of their application to group crime form the methodology of its study. They point out the application in criminology of sociometric and stratometric methods, by which the mechanism of formation, the dynamics of the development of criminal groups is shown, their classification is given, the number of group members is revealed, their status in the group and the structure of the group is established.

LEBESGUE STRUCTURE OF DISTRIBUTION OF GENERALIZED BERNOULLI CONVOLUTIONS OF SPECIAL TYPE
Authors: Makarchuk O. , Salnik K.
Published: November 2020

The paper deals with the problem of deepening the Jessen-Wintner theorem for generalized Bernoulli convolutions of a special kind. The main attention is paid to the case when the terms of a random series acquire three values: 0, 1, 2. In the case when the probability that the term of a random series becomes 2 is 0, the corresponding generalized Bernoulli convolutions coincide with classic Bernoulli convolutions, which were actively studied domestic scientists (Pratsovyty M., Turbin G., Torbin G., Honcharenko Ya., Baranovsky O., Savchenko I. and others) as well as foreign researchers (Erdos P., Peres Y., Schlag W, Solomyak B., Albeverio S. and others). The problem of deepening the Jessen-Wintner theorem concerning the necessary and sufficient conditions for the distribution of a probably convergent random series with discrete additions to each of the three pure types, is extremely difficult to formulate and is not completely solved even for classical Bernoulli convolutions. The results of the study are a deepening in relation to the analysis of the Lebesgue structure of random series formed by s-expansions of real numbers. In the case when the corresponding Bernoulli convolution is generated by the sequence 3-n, we have a random variable with independent triple digits, which was studied by scientists in different directions: Lebesgue structure (Chaterji S., Marsaglia G.), topological-metric structure of the distribution spectrum (Pratsovityi M., Turbin G.), fractal analysis of the distribution carrier (Pratsovyty M., Torbin G.), asymptotic properties of the characteristic function at infinity (Honcharenko Ya., Pratsovyty M., Torbin G.). The paper presents certain sufficient conditions for the absolute continuity and singularity of the distribution, with certain restrictions on the stochastic distribution matrix and the asymptotics of the values of the random terms of the series. In the case when the Lebesgue measure of the set of realizations of the generalized Bernoulli convolution is different from zero, it is possible together with Levy's theorem to formulate criteria for belonging of the Bernoulli convolution distribution to each of the three pure Lebesgue types, namely: purely discrete, purely continuous or purely singular.
PRESTRESS EFFECT ON THE THERMOMECHANICAL RESPONSE OF VISCOELASTIC CIRCULAR CYLINDRICAL SHELL UNDER HARMONIC LOADING
Authors: Zhuk Y. , Ostos O.
Published: November 2020

The problem of forced resonant vibrations and dissipative heating of a hinged viscoelastic elastomeric circular cylindrical shell is considered. The problem statement is based on the use of Kirchhoff–Love hypotheses and the concept of complex modules used to describe the cyclic reaction of a viscoelastic material to a harmonic loading. In the axisymmetric setting, it is assumed that there is a membrane force as a consequence of the applied tensile or prestress. The problem is solved in two stages: first the problem of mechanics is solved, and then for the found amplitudes of kinematic and force characteristics the dissipative function is constructed and both the steady-state and transient thermal problem is solved. As a result of solving the steady-state thermal problem, the amplitude-frequency and temperature-frequency curves are built.

Authors: Pimenova O. O. , Pimenov S.
Published: November 2020

The necessity of formation of integrated reporting by Ukrainian enterprises is investigated. The importance of business presentation of information on the company's value creation, its effectiveness, opportunities, risks it faces, and development prospects for investors and other stakeholders in the form of integrated reporting is determined. It is investigated that integrated reporting should provide stakeholders with information on the long-term development of the enterprise in contrast to financial reporting, which cannot provide such full information. That is the main purpose of integrated reporting is to explain to financial capital providers and other stakeholders how an enterprise creates and plans to create the value in the future over a long period of time.

The purpose of the study is to substantiate the need of taking into account the needs of stakeholders in the work of enterprise and the disclosure of non-financial information in the form of integrated reporting, which will increase the efficiency of the business model. The methodological basis of the study is a set of general and special principles, provisions and methods of scientific research, the use of which is determined by the purpose and objectives, in particular, methods of generalization, comparison, analysis and synthesis, methods of system and structural analysis, diagnostic evaluation. In particular, in the process of research the methods of generalization, analysis and synthesis were used in defining the concept of integrated reporting and its individual elements; methods of system and structural analysis in the study of the basic principles of integrated reporting; method of comparison in the study of scientific approaches to the formation of integrated reporting.

It is substantiated that by providing information on value creation, in particular on the company's competitive advantages, strategic assets, environmental, social and management indicators (ESG), the company will gain an advantage over competitors, effectively implementing its business model in the market and be able to achieve sustainable development in the long run.

Published: November 2020

The paper is devoted to the study of issues related to the determination of the legal nature of tax liability. The study is aimed at delineating and determining the essence of tax liability as an institution of administrative or financial (tax) law. Implementation of the task is related not only to the identification of unique properties of the phenomenon of liability in the field of taxation, but also to the study of the necessity of isolating this protective institution within the framework of tax or administrative relations. The authors come to the conclusion that administrative and tax liability (liability for violation of tax legislation) correlate between each other as the general and private and have a common administrative public nature, peculiar to such sectoral types of responsibility as tax, financial, administrative responsibility. The obtained results provide a promising opportunity to identify the legal links of the institution, to investigate the peculiarities of its sectoral application, to determine modern trends of transformation approaches developed by the science of financial and administrative law.
The Institution of the Financial Ombudsman as an Instrument for Improving the Model Disputes Resolution Procedure in the Financial Market (Attempted Inductive Analysis)
Authors: Voronin Yu. V.
Published: November 2020

The paper analyzes the experience of the newly created institution of the financial ombudsman that serves to consider property disputes arising between consumers and financial organizations through pre-trial procedure; considers the main trends and patterns shown at the initial stage of functioning of the institution; provides forecasts and recommendations for the development of the institution of pre-trial dispute resolution in financial markets. The author focuses on the anlysis on the role of the financial ombudsman in the formation of the procedural aspect of the contemporary financial disputes resolution. According to the results of the study, the author concludes that the institution of the financial ombudsman can and should be developed with due regard to the comments made on possible areas of expansion of his or her functions on the basis of the main task, namely: to create a business environment where the rights of consumers of financial services are protected to the greatest extent possible. However, to move to this makes sense only after the Federal Law of June 04, 2018 № 123-FZ “On the Ombudsman for the Rights of Consumers of Financial Services” comes into force, i.e. after January 1, 2021.
The System of Procedural Principles of Proceedings in Administrative Offenses Cases
Authors: Nobel A. R.
Published: November 2020

The paper provides definitions of the principles and system of principles of proceedings in cases of administrative offenses. Based on the norms of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation and the practice of their application, the author substantiates the position that the principles of proceedings in cases of administrative offenses are, to varying degrees, enshrined in regulatory legal acts constituting legislation on administrative offenses, both directly and indirectly. The system of procedural principles of proceedings in cases of administrative offenses is revealed. The author includes the following principles in this system: open consideration; state language; direct examination of evidence; freedom to evaluate evidence; compulsory consideration of applications; freedom to appeal against procedural decisions; competition and equality of the parties; fair consideration of the case; ensuring the right to defense. The content of these principles having a pronounced procedural nature is formed through a systemic interpretation of the provisions of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the European Convention on Human Rights, the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, the case law of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and the European Court of Human Rights. The author concludes that, despite the existence of various ways of consolidating the procedural principles of proceedings in cases of administrative offenses, the greatest efficiency of their perception and application will be achieved only when the principles are reflected in a special chapter of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
Ensuring the Reliability of Information on the Internet: Modern Legal Framework and Legal Practice
Authors: Simonova S. V.
Published: November 2020

The paper presents an analysis of Russian legal practice on dissemination of unreliable socially significant information on the Internet. Based on the study of regulatory, law enforcement and linguistic sources, the author provides a legal assessment to information reliability characteristic, delimits it from related phenomena, and formulates the conditions for the realization of a legitimate interest in obtaining reliable information. Particular attention is given to an analysis of cases of bringing citizens to administrative responsibility for the dissemination of deliberately unreliable socially significant information on the Internet. The author concludes that the presumptions of unreliability of digital messages and their threat to public order and safety are widely spread in judicial practice. It is noted that unreliable socially significant information is interpreted in practice through the prism of information that does not correspond to reality, and the burden of proving the truth of messages published on the Internet is, as a rule, on their distributors.

Authors: Albaba Mohammed , Qassab Alhakam , Yılmaz Arif
Published: November 2020

Recently, by using the deep learning models, it has become easier to recognize the human activity with more accuracy than before by categorizing the activities that people are doing daily. Nowadays, with the extensive use of modern smartphones that have sensors, it has become easier to capture the data in raw format that has the movement details in three dimensions (X-Y-Z). In this paper, we utilized the open source WIreless Sensor Data Mining (WISDM) dataset which has six activities that are walking, jogging, standing, sitting, upstairs and downstairs. Each type of those activities consists of values in terms of (X, Y and Z) axes. We employed two types of deep learning algorithms that are Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Recurrent Neural Network - Long Short-Term Memory (RNN-LSTM). Our objective is to make a comparison between accuracy and loss after implementing the two models. We discovered that, when using the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), the accuracy was 81%. However, the accuracy was 91% when using Recurrent Neural Network - Long Short-Term Memory (RNN-LSTM) and applying it on the same database. As a result, the Recurrent Neural Network - Long Short-Term Memory (RNN-LSTM) model outperformed the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model.

Murakami is a writer who has a talent for using symbols. In addition to the Cat, the Well, the Wall,... the Sheep, which is a familiar object in his life, has become one of the unique symbols. In his novel, Murakami portrayed the sheep as the symbol of Japanese strength, of evil, of material and power desires... In particular, the sheep also participates in the process of magical narration and creates many unexpected meanings for readers. In summarize, the Sheep have contributed significantly to increase the ranks of meanings in the writer’s narration, and at the same time affirm Japanese cultural identity in Murakami’s narration.

In order to quantify the influence of the profile of the blade on the performance, the characteristics of the flow field around the rotor of the different configurations are studied. For different values of the tip speed ratio, dynamic quantities, such as torque and rotor power, are presented and analyzed. Also in this investigation of the flow flied, two parameters are carefully investigated: mesh resolution and time step size. In the analysis, it appears that these parameters affect result accuracy. Finally, the numerical result shows that the variation of blade profile directly affected directly the power production.
CHARACTERIZATION OF AEROGEL BASED THERMAL INSULATION BLANKETS, ECONOMICS, AND APPLICATIONS FOR DOMESTIC WATER HEATERS
Authors: TANBOUR Emadeddin
Published: November 2020

One of the main ways to improve the performance of thermal systems is using better thermal insulation. Recent developments of high performance thermal insulation introduced thermal insulation blankets for low and moderately high temperature applications. One of the leading insulation technologies are aerogel based insulation blankets. Before studying the performance of thermal systems insulated with these materials, it is important to characterize these blankets under conditions similar to the operating conditions. In this study, thermal conductivity measurement experiments are conducted on Low Temperature High Performance Insulation (LTHPI) and High Temperature High Performance Insulation (HTHPI) blankets and their results were discussed. Tests also conducted are scanning-electron-microscope (SEM) imaging to better understand the nano-structure and thermal conductivity test.
Results in this paper show SEM images for Aspen®’s Spaceloft® and Pyrogel® XT-E blankets, and X-ray imaging showing the components inside the blankets’ aerogel to be Silicon, Oxygen, and Carbon. Thermal conductivity measurements were conducted for both LTHPI and LTHPI insulation materials. The thermal conductivity results confirm the results mentioned in the literature, showing that the thermal conductivity is 0.0159 W / (m.K) for LTHPI and 0.0188 W / (m.K) for HTHPI at 25 oC. It can be said that the tested blankets show a promising performance in thermal systems. This paper also demonstrates a comparison of utilizing high performance thermal insulation with current industry practice in domestic water heaters, and a discussion on its economic impacts for individual and national levels. This discussion shows that a minimum of 3.7 billion USA dollars can be saved annually by adjusting regulations to enforce water heater manufacturers to use HPI in their products.

Published: November 2020

To disclose the turbulence features near a permeable spur dike, this paper measures the three-dimensional (3D) instantaneous velocity at different vertical lines and depths around the permeable spur dike through acoustic Doppler velocimetry (ADV). The relative turbulence intensity and Reynolds stress were calculated for each measuring point, and the distribution features of different turbulence structures were analyzed along the water depth. Experimental results show that: within the length of the dike, the turbulence intensity and Reynolds stress in the downstream of the dike are much greater than those in the upstream. In the downstream of the dike, the turbulence intensity in the root and body regions peaks in the dike crest layer, but that at other positions minimizes in that layer (but peaks on the water surface or river bottom). In the upstream, ejection and sweeping are the dominant turbulence structures; the two structures also dominate near the free layer at the bottom in the downstream; outward and inward interactions dominate near the dike crest layer in the downstream.

Authors: Li Lingzhi
Published: November 2020

Under the background of global informatization, "this course" must keep up with the development of society, which requires colleges and universities to reform their own teaching mode, such as flipped classroom, MOOCS, etc. Through the development of network platform and teaching video, the teaching concept can be better innovated, which will realize the transformation to the student-centered direction. Through flipped classroom, the interaction between the form and content of the course can be realized. Therefore, the teaching reform of "this course" is very necessary. Based on the flexibility and openness of flipped classroom, the evaluation of teaching effect can be better managed, which will arouse the enthusiasm of teachers and students. First of all, this paper analyzes the necessity of flipped classroom. Then, this paper puts forward some questions. Finally, some suggestions are put forward.

The Failure of Collective Security in the Far East——Take the
Japanese Invasion of Northeast as an Example
Authors: Chen Zihao
Published: November 2020

Collective security was originally based on a reflection on the cruel reality of centuries of European international relations. 17th-century William Penn, 18th-century Saint Pierre, Rousseau, Kant, Bentham, 19th-century Saint-Simon, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson at the beginning of the 20th century and others have designed different blueprints for peace. Their peaceful ideals of "idealists" and "utopians" were adopted in the collective security theory of the 20th century. The first attempt at collective security was the establishment of the "International League" after the end of the First World War. However, because the balance of power system of the international community is declining and flourishing, and the organization has no coercive force and no clear obligations for member states to participate in military disarmament, the concept and practice of the international alliance ended in failure. Japan occupied Northeast China in 1932, and the Chinese government subsequently appealed to the League of Nations and sought help, but the League of Nations did nothing but send a delegation. Subsequently, Japan withdrew from the League of Nations in 1933, which accelerated the disintegration of the League of Nations and had to say that collective security failed in the Far East.
