Escolma posible, de Castelao, censurado polo franquismo
Authors: Dasilva Fernández Xosé Manuel
Published: January 2023

O obxectivo deste artigo é relatar as dificultades que a censura franquista puxo ao libro Escolma posible, editado por Galaxia en 1964, antoloxía de textos de Castelao organizada por Marino Dónega. Con carácter preliminar, examínanse os trazos máis relevantes da imaxe do autor que a Ditadura pretendía consolidar, a partir principalmente da lectura dos informes de censura dalgunhas das súas obras. Despois de revisar o expediente de Escolma posible de modo pormenorizado, préstase atención á recepción coetánea dispensada ao volume. A conclusión máis importante que se alcanza é que Escolma posible foi un proxecto condicionado polo contexto represivo do Réxime, e non tanto pola suposta vontade de Galaxia de potenciar a dimensión artística e literaria de Castelao.
La toma de declaración a través de la Cámara Gesell como medio para evitar la doble victimización
Authors: Sánchez-Rubio Ana
Published: January 2023

El presente artículo analiza la reciente utilización de la Cámara Gesell en el ordenamiento jurídico español. La finalidad de esta nueva herramienta es loable, pues trata de reducir los efectos de la doble victimización. No obstante, este método de toma de declaración de víctimas especialmente vulnerables ha planteado dudas acerca de cómo, cuándo, ante qué víctimas y ante qué delitos es válida la preconstitución de esta prueba. La reciente Ley Orgánica 8/2021, de 4 de junio, de protección integral a la infancia y la adolescencia frente a la violencia, ha modificado la LECrim para dar cabida a estos supuestos, adecuándose, en buena parte, a lo que venía estableciendo la jurisprudencia del Tribunal Supremo, con el propósito de garantizar un justo equilibrio entre la protección de la víctima y la salvaguarda de los derechos procesales del acusado.

TERRITORIOS DE CONVERSACIÓN: ESCENARIOS PARA EL POSICIONAMIENTO DE DISCURSOS POLÍTICOS EN LA "POSPANDEMIA"
Authors: Castro García Stephany , Cardozo-Uzcátegui Alejandro
Published: January 2023

Ante la marcada incertidumbre producto de la pandemia, las conversaciones públicas han sido escenario para debate de ideas y discursos políticos con miras a los procesos electorales en Colombia. Estos diálogos se han plasmado tanto en temas coyunturales como estructurales del funcionamiento del Estado previo a las presidenciales del 2022, y han estado enmarcados en los candidatos “cabeza de encuestas” de los últimos sondeos. Con el objetivo de identificar los principales territorios de conversación que marcarán el debate político de los próximos comicios, se realizó una búsqueda de información cualitativa sobre estos precandidatos en plataformas digitales de medios de comunicación, entre abril del 2020 y abril del 2021, utilizando un método de frecuencia para identificar la intensidad de temas. Gracias a ello, este trabajo encontró que la educación, temas género, el desempleo juvenil y la situación de los migrantes venezolanos serán algunos de los debates que marcarán dicha agenda política.

Authors: Alonso Rodríguez Ángela , Rodríguez Martínez Gonzalo , González Gómez Álvaro
Published: January 2023

El análisis de redes sociales y el estudio de la extrema derecha son actualmente temas ampliamente abordados por la literatura en la Ciencia Política. Es por ello, que este estudio se centra en Italia y el uso de Twitter de sus líderes y partidos políticos de extrema derecha durante la campaña electoral de 2022. Los objetivos son comprender el desarrollo mediático de sus perfiles oficiales, reflexionar sobre como utilizan Twitter y sobre si la candidata femenina hace un uso diferenciado con respecto a sus homólogos masculinos. Realizaremos un análisis comparado utilizando un software especializado en el análisis de redes sociales que nos llevará a las siguientes conclusiones: la actividad de los perfiles de Twitter para generar engagement en sus receptores es esencial, los partidos políticos generan un mayor engagement que sus líderes, a excepción de Forza Italia; y, Meloni y Fratelli d´Italia son los perfiles más atractivos para los usuarios.
Explicando el voto en Querétaro, México: teorías clásicas y sentimientos
Authors: Gutiérrez Sánchez Héctor
Published: January 2023

Tradicionalmente el voto en México se explica con los enfoques sociológico, psicológico (partidismo principalmente) y racional. Sin embargo, los resultados de la elección presidencial 2018 arrojaron dudas sobre las tres perspectivas, debido a ello, parece valioso revisar nuevas explicaciones, entre las que destacan los sentimientos como posible determinante de la preferencia política. Se sabe que la ciudadanía mexicana tiene preferencia por los candidatos que le provocan sentimientos positivos y viceversa, sin embargo, tal fenómeno podría ser sólo una consecuencia secundaria de alguna de las teorías clásicas. Para revisar si los sentimientos tienen una relación no-espuria con la preferencia electoral, se realizaron modelos de regresión múltiple. Se estudió la elección 2021 de gobernador en el estado de Querétaro, México. Se contó con una muestra representativa de 842 casos. Se encontraron relaciones entre sentimientos y voto y además los primeros no fueron controlados por variables clásicas de otras explicaciones como el partidismo, educación o clase. En esto destacó la variable de “inspirar respeto”, misma que controló a varios de los otros sentimientos y tuvo la relación más fuerte con la variable dependiente. Se concluye que, si bien los sentimientos no tienen una relación espuria con el voto, tampoco resultó claro el mecanismo causal, pues no se explica bien la preponderancia del respeto.

Background: The periodically emerging new and old infectious microorganisms greatly magnify the global burden of infectious diseases. The majority of emerging infectious events are caused by bacteria, which can be associated with the evolution of drug-resistant strains and the overwhelming of the natural host defenses. Medicinal plants play an important role in the treatment of various infectious diseases. The objective of this study is to evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial activities of crude extracts of aqueous and solvents from two Eritrean traditional medicinal plants (Silene macrosolen and Solanum incanum). Methodology: Roots and leaves of Solanum incanum and stems and roots of Silene macrosolen were collected and extracted using standard methods. The extracted ingredients were then subjected to standard bacterial strains (Escherichia. coli ATCC-25923, Staphylococcus. aureus ATCC-25922, and Pseudomonas. aeruginosa ATCC-27853) to determine their antibacterial activity by measuring their zone of inhibition. Phytochemical analysis of the crude extract to see the presence of phytochemical compounds in the extract of selected plants. Results: The highest inhibition zone was observed for methanol extracted S. macrosolen stem and chloroform extracted S. incanum root against S. aureus in 400 mg / ml with 23mm and 24.5mm respectively. Methanol and cold aqueous extracted stem of S. macrosolen also showed the highest inhibition of 26mm and 23mm diameter, against P. aeruginosa and E. coli respectively. The MIC and MBC of the cold aqueous extract of S. macrosolen stem were found at 25 mg / ml and 50mg/ml respectively, against both E. coli and P. aeruginosa, while the MIC of the chloroform-extracted root of S. incanum was found at 50mg/ml, however, the MBC could not be found in the concentration tested against S. aureus. Conclusion: Based on the finding of this study S. aureus was found to be more susceptible to the plant extracts than E. coli and P. aeruginosa, and the methanolic and cold aqueous extracts of the S. macrosolen stem revealed the highest antibacterial activity.

Authors:   Institute of General Energy National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Stanytsina V.V. , Artemchuk V.O. ,   G.E. Pukhov Institute for Modelling in Energy Engineering National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine
Published: January 2023

Energy efficiency is one of the critical areas of ensuring sustainable development. One of the promising technologies in this context is heat pump technology for heat supply. Such technologies have been widely implemented in the EU for several decades. At the same time, very few projects with powerful heat pumps have been implemented in Ukraine, which is explained by their high cost. However, given the current energy resource prices, Ukraine's heat pumps are already becoming competitive. The paper examines the Levelized cost of heat energy from systems with heat pumps of the "soil-water" and "air-water" types and a gas boiler house at various discount rates and prices for electricity and natural gas. It is shown that domestically produced ground source heat pumps are primarily competitive.
Integration of Electric Transportation Into Integrated Energy System of Ukraine
Authors:   Institute of General Energy National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Ivanenko N.P.
Published: January 2023

The fleet of electric vehicles in the world is growing rapidly, as its use allows reducing the consumption of fossil fuels, as well as the corresponding emissions of greenhouse gases and pollutants into the atmosphere. The elaboration of Ukraine’s national strategy for the development of electric transport should be based on thorough studies of the impact of its implementation on the functioning of the Integrated Energy System of Ukraine. The aim of the paper was to study the impact of the potential introduction of electric transport on the operation of the Integrated Energy System of Ukraine, namely the effect of EM charging modes on the fossil fuel consumption of the IES and therefore emissions of GHG and other pollutants. The information and software complex developed at the Institute of General Energy of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine was used for the calculations. A set of calculations of the operation of the IES was carried out for different charging modes of electric transport: standard, uniform and night. The use of the night charging mode of electric vehicles allows reducing the amount of fossil fuel combustion and emissions of GHG and pollutants by approximately 9%.

Authors: Lopez Michelle A. , Yu Xian , Hetrick Rebecca , Raman Shivani , Lee Jessica , Hall Julie , Tran Katherine , Vonasek Bryan , Garg Arvin , Raphael Jean , Bocchini Claire
Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE

Addressing adverse social determinants of health is an upstream approach to potentially improve child health outcomes and health equity. We aimed to determine if systematically screening and referring for social needs in hospitalized pediatric patients increased families’ enrollment in publicly available resources.

METHODS

Randomized controlled trial at a large urban children’s hospital enrolled English-speaking caregivers of patients 0 to 36 months of age on the general pediatrics service from June 2016 to July 2017. The intervention arm received the WE CARE Houston social needs intervention (screener and resource referrals based on screening results and receptiveness to help); the control arm received standard of care. Baseline social risk data were collected for all participants. Caregivers who screened positive for mental health need, substance abuse, or domestic violence received additional support, including from social workers. The primary outcome was enrollment in resources at 6 months postdischarge. Univariate and multivariable analysis was performed to identify associations.

RESULTS

Our study sample consisted of 413 caregivers from diverse sociodemographic/socioeconomic backgrounds. Overall, 85% of study participants had ≥1 social risk (median 2, range 0–9). WE CARE Houston identified caregiver employment, health insurance, primary care physician, depression, childcare, smoking, and food resources as the most prevalent social needs. Among these, caregivers were most receptive to resources for childcare, mental health, health insurance, and primary care. There was no significant difference in enrollment in new resources by study arm.

CONCLUSION

Screening for social needs in the hospital is feasible and can result in the identification of social needs, but further work is needed to successfully address these needs.

Published: January 2023

The difficulty of non-Javanese students learning Arabic and Islam using the Pegon method is a research topic that has yet to receive much attention from academics. This article aims to analyze the difficulties of non-Javanese students in the Pegon Method. Data were obtained through interviews, observation, and document analysis. The results of this study indicate that the difficulties of non-Javanese students are caused by the Javanese language used in the Pegon method. Furthermore, the Arabic or Hijaiyah letters used to write Pegon Javanese are slightly different from the original Arabic, and the scientific foundation of Arabic for students needs to be improved. Preparatory class programs, peer tutoring, and literature translation using the Pegon script into Indonesian are some strategies for anticipating student difficulties.

Authors: Burga Muhammad Alqadri , Damopolii Muljono
Published: January 2023

The study aims to explore the diversity of pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) in Soppeng Regency, Indonesia. The regency is known as a place for multicultural education based on local culture which is expected to strengthen religious moderation. This research is qualitative with a phenomenological approach. The object is selected purposively; four pesantren institutions in Soppeng Regency, Yasrib (Nahdhatul Ulama), Muhammadiyah Lajoa, Al-Irsyad (Darud Da'wah wal Irsyad) Pattojo, and Al-Ihsan Appanang (Jamaah Tablig). The results of the study show that the diversity of pesantren serves as a place for multicultural education. Pesantren may reflect the diversity of society, founding organizations, institutional typologies, and networks. The local culture-based pesantren is designed to promote multicultural education model which was developed by applying several local culture values: sipakatau (mutual respect), sigunakannge' (reminding each other), sipakalebbi (mutual glorification), and sipammase-mase (mutual love). Those values are used as the principles of multiculturalism which is carried out with the ethos of siri (respect themselves) in the life of the pesantren community. Multicultural education model strengthens the principle of wasaá¹­iyah (moderate) religious moderation through the ideology of Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-JamÄ'ah. Religious moderation facilitates the society to accommodate local culture, express strong national commitments, and grow tolerance in the spirit of egalitarianism.

Pengolahan ikan lele pada UKM di Kabupaten Bogor perlu dilakukan identifikasi dari sistem input, proses, hingga produksi agar diketahui permasalahan yang ada sehingga dapat memberikan rekomendasi dan strategi yang efektif pada usahanya.  Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi permasalahan pengolahan ikan lele pada UKM pengolah ikan di kabupaten Bogor dan memberikan rekomendasi strategi guna perbaikan kualitas produk dan pengembangan usaha pada UKM pengolah ikan di Kabupaten Bogor. Metode penelitian yang dilakukan adalah observasi partisipatif dengan analisis deskriptif diagram tulang ikan. Penelitian dilakukan di empat lokasi unit pengolahan ikan lele, yaitu UKM Cihil Mandiri Sejahtera, UKM Darma Tirta, UKM Amanah Frozen dan UKM Anugrah Gile. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dari empat lokasi tersebut, ditemukan permasalahan utama yang serupa yaitu permasalahan bahan baku dan permasalahan pada proses penyiangan. Sementara untuk UKM Amanah Frozen terdapat satu lagi permasalahan utama, yaitu kurangnya pengelolaan terhadap limbah dari hasil proses produksi. Permasalahan pada bahan baku, meliputi kurang terjaminnya keamanan pangan pada bahan baku, kurangnya higienitas dan pemilihan bahan baku yang belum berstandar.  Permasalahan pada proses penyiangan, yaitu kurang tepatnya langkah yang dilakukan pada saat pemingsanan/ pematian ikan, menyebabkan lamanya proses penyiangan dan terjadinya kemunduran mutu. Adapun permasalahan tentang tidak adanya pengelolaan limbah yang dihasilkan dari kegiatan produksi, sebaiknya limbah tersebut perlu diolah dan dimanfaatkan kembali agar menjadi produk yang memiliki nilai tambah. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah permasalahan pada empat UKM yang diteliti memiliki kecenderungan yang sama yaitu disebabkan oleh kurangnya pemahaman dan kepedulian pekerja dalam menangani bahan baku olahan, masih sederhananya peralatan yang digunakan, dan ruang produksi yang kurang memadai. Studi lanjutan diperlukan untuk mengetahui mutu produk yang dihasilkan oleh empat UKM tersebut sehingga dapat memperdalam kajian.

Multilingualism in the crossfire–language ideologies among Polish parents and their adolescent children/community in Ireland
Authors: Machowska-Kościak Malgosia
Published: January 2023

Parents and their language attitudes and ideologies exert a strong influence over their children’s language development strategies. This study examines how Polish families mediate language ideologies concerning their heritage language, English, and Irish. This paper is a part of a longitudinal study (five years) involving four adolescents and their parents, some of whom also attended Polish weekend schools in addition to mainstream secondary schools. The theoretical and analytical approach combines an ethnographic approach to data collection including observations, audio recordings of children’s interactions with their peers and their parents, and ethnographic interviews with a discourse analysis approach (Davies and Harre, 1990; Duff, 1995; Harre and Langenhove, 1999; Ochs and Capps, 2001). The results of the analysis are interpreted through the lens of the language socialization theoretical framework (Garrett and Baquedano–López, 2002; Schieffelin and Ochs, 1986). This micro-analysis of language ideologies among Polish families in Ireland is contextualized within a more holistic account of the Polish community in Ireland, a community culturally shaped by, and in turn shaping, wider societal and educational ideologies, values, and power relations. This study suggests that parents often struggle to support their children’s multilingualism. In their everyday conversations with children, they often reproduce dominant linguistic ideologies. It is, however, their overt action that exerts the greatest influence on their children.
A journey to adolescent flourishing: Exploring psychosocial outcomes of outdoor adventure education
Authors: Blaine Judith , Akhurst Jacqui
Published: January 2023

There is an increasing appreciation that, in order to prepare learners for success in life, they require a holistic education providing not only academic skills, but also psychosocial competencies (Zins & Elias, 2006). Outdoor adventure education (OAE) shows potential as a way of developing these life skills, which are not easy to incorporate into the school curriculum (Sibthorp & Jostad, 2014). The aim of this qualitative study was to explore the psychosocial outcomes and perceived value of a school-based OAE programme (Journey) for adolescents in South Africa. Data from a convenience sample of 144 Grade 10 learners’ post-Journey surveys, letters to the school principals and interviews with members of the focus groups (n = 20), were thematically analysed using template analysis. Applying the acronym, FLOURISHING, the analysis suggests that while Journey was beneficial for the psychosocial development of most learners, not all perceived value from their experiences. We propose that positive psychosocial outcomes could be enhanced by adopting a strength-based approach to OAE. This study provides a unique sociocultural perspective, corroborating the beneficial effects of OAE and could have implications for pedagogical policy and practice within South Africa (SA) and further afield.
Informing practice in mathematics through the use of Herrmann’s Whole Brain® theory
Authors: Randewijk E , du Toit PH , Harding AF
Published: January 2023

In this research I explored how mathematics teachers can inform their teaching practice through a meta-reflective inquiry into methods of facilitating Whole Brain® learning in mathematics. Herrmann’s Whole Brain® theory was used as a lens through which to explore leading theories in the fields of constructivism, mathematics education and cognitive psychology by means of a participatory action research innovation, stretching over approximately 3 years. An analysis of these theories validated Herrmann’s Whole Brain® theory as the foundation for a synthesised integrated theory of practice, which also formed the epicentre of the conceptual framework for the research. The conceptual framework was also at the core of the participatory action research. The Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument® (HBDI®) was administered to 8 teacher participants in a school mathematics department. Learners of each of the teacher participants also completed a questionnaire on how they perceived their teachers to facilitate learning and assessment of mathematics. These results were compared to the teacher participants’ Herrmann’s Brain Dominance Instrument®. Findings indicate that the Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument® initiated scholarly reflection with teacher participants involved in facilitating and assessing the learning of mathematics. The collective reflexive practice was both part of the action research process and an outcome of the research itself. Findings also indicate that the thinking preferences of teacher participants, as tested by the Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument®, are not necessarily indicative of their teaching style and teachers involved in post-graduate studies indicated an ability to access their non-dominant thinking mode situationally.
Chinese Internet Literature from the Perspective of New-Style Literary Mechanisms: A Case Study of Sisterhood by Anni Baobei
Authors:   Uniwersytet SWPS, Machajek Piotr
Published: January 2023

China is one of the very few countries in the world that managed to transform its online sphere both into a vibrant literary scene and into a tool of successful soft power. Some writers who represent the advent of online literature (wangluo wenxue) still enjoy best-selling and long-selling status. Despite that, the wide readership of such authors as Anni Baobei, Han Han or Murong Xuecun has not been followed by significant academic interest. This paper draws from the contribution made by Shao Yanjun to analyze whether the New-Style Literary Mechanisms (such as online literary forums) put forward by him shape textual features, and if so, whether these should be reflected in translation. The research combines literary criticism and translation theory perspectives to present some key features of Chinese Internet Literature by presenting an example of a popular short story authored by Anni Baobei Sisterhood (Qiyue yu Ansheng). The analysis of stylistic and linguistic characteristics of the translated excerpts is conducted from three perspectives: the specific text economy, unorthodox punctuation, and the attempt to recreate the mediatic realm of the source text conveyed inter alia through the approach to CSI (Culture-Specific Items). It is found that texts created under the new-style literary mechanism regime may influence the translation strategy and constitute the novelty of wangluo wenxue.
Individual in a Traditional Chinese Family
Authors:   Uniwersytet SWPS, Yun Wang
Published: January 2023

The article analyzes the relation between the individual and the family in traditional China in a historical and cultural context. It concludes that the family, besides being a source of material support, provides a sense of identity, which is obtained through the performance of family role ethics. The ethics consist in fulfilling one’s specific obligations, such as filial piety, obedience, responsibility for family members, etc. Through practicing them since childhood, individuals shape their personality in a way that enables them to participate in a hierarchical, patriarchal family structure and maintain harmonious relations with its members.
Międzynarodowe aspekty retoryki „People’s Daily” podczas protestów w Hongkongu w 2019 roku
Authors:   Uniwersytet Jagielloński, Wardęga Joanna
Published: January 2023

The paper analyzes media coverage of Hong Kong’s anti-government protest movement triggered by the proposal of amendments to the extradition law in 2019 as presented in the “People’s Daily”, the main online English-language state media in the People’s Republic of China. This article focuses in particular on the analysis of the narrative related to the international aspects of the protests, i.e., on descriptions of foreign attempts to influence the internal affairs of Hong Kong and China, undermining the principle of “one country, two systems”, or attempts to conduct the so-called color revolution. The way the protests are presented in the “People’s Daily” is therefore interesting as an example of a narrative related to the protection of China’s territorial integrity and defense against foreign interference in China’s internal affairs, especially in the context of Beijing’s pursuit of the full unification of the country.

The article aims to present the main changes of China’s foreign investment law with a focus on the Foreign Investment Law and its implementing, effective from January 1, 2020. They are overarching and concerning investors present on the Chinese market and those planning to expand into the market through foreign direct investments. The following research hypothesis was verified: The Chinese Foreign Investment Law and its implementing entail many beneficial changes from the foreign investors’ perspective. An in-depth analysis of legal texts is the main research method employed to verify the research hypothesis. Key findings: The FIL, its implementation and the further shortening of the prohibitions and restrictions on foreign investors included in the negative lists are important steps towards liberalisation in foreign investors’ access to the Chinese market, offering them opportunities to invest capital. They create a conducive institutional and legal environment for foreign investors compared to the previous legislation. However, further action is needed to address regulatory flaws, increase regulatory transparency, and accelerate the pace of change.
Amendments to Chinese Criminal Law Concerning Intellectual Property Crimes
Authors:   University of Gdańsk, Łągiewska Magdalena
Published: January 2023

Chinese authorities have taken decisive steps to tackle violations of intellectual property (IP) rights in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The National People’s Congress (NPC) adopted a new amendment to China’s criminal law on December 26, 2020. These regulations entered into force on March 1, 2021. The article aims to draw attention to the recent developments and ways to fight against the IP infringement in China. The study focuses on the IP courts in China and then analyzes the recent amendment to Chinese criminal law. Therefore, it is based on the descriptive and dogmatic methods. The article seeks to answer the question of whether the regulations are effective and significantly prevent the spread of IP infringements in China. It brings us to the conclusion that China’s accession to the WTO was a turning point that influenced the development and the improvement of domestic IP regime. Hence, China became a country with complex, multifaceted, and contentious environment regarding IP rights. One of the most significant changes concern the establishment of IP courts across China. It is too early to determine whether these solutions are effective due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in China.

To what extent do current models apply to analyze soft repression? Research on soft repression is still under development, and due to technological advancement, it is necessary to analyze different types of soft repression in a way to modify and refine existing typologies. Drawing on lessons learnt from Asian and regional studies, this article aims to discuss critically selected theoretical tools used to study soft repression. It scrutinizes four models that apply to delve analytically into different types of soft repression. The focus is on the most influential approaches in recent years that gained the highest impact on the development of studies on contentious politics. The first typology applies to differentiate between soft repression forms used mainly by non-state actors. The second approach treats soft repression as an explaining variable, as the text focuses on the consequences of soft repression. The third model applies to studying hard and soft repression during protests. Its analysis exposes how the combination of effectively selected forms of repression leads to the demobilization of individual movements and discourages participation in the protest. The last model involves a specific form of soft repression that uses relationships and interpersonal ties to demobilize protesters.

In contemporary international relations, the issue of energy security is becoming fundamental. Access to energy resources is an existential need of every country, conditioning its economic and social development. In such a situation, states try to construct long-term energy security policies to ensure smooth supplies of raw materials. The research problem is the analysis of the energy security policy of the People’s Republic of China towards the Caspian states of Central Asia: Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan. In the research process, a hypothesis was verified, assuming that China’s energy security policy in the Caspian region of Central Asia is determined by the increased demand of this superpower for energy resources and geographical proximity to oil and gas deposits located in Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan. The People’s Republic of China (PRC) became interested in the hydrocarbon resources of the Central Asian region right after the collapse of the USSR. At that time, the energy security policy of this superpower was implemented in several stages: from gaining access to the oil and gas reserves of the countries of the region to the construction of export pipelines supplying the absorptive Chinese market. Thus, the analysis presents the conditions of the PRC’s energy security policy, its institutional dimension and actions towards Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, both in upstream and midstream terms.

In this study, a horizontal axis wind turbine blade model with a power of 5 kW was designed using a new MATLAB code based on the blade element momentum theory. The three-dimensional finite-element method was used to simulate and validate the wind turbine blade under normal and extreme operating conditions in order to evaluate the stress and deflection effects. International Standard IEC 61400.2 was applied to obtain the fatigue loads, estimate the damage, and predict the life of the blade. Based on the optimization approach, the flap-wise deflections were reduced by 11% and the trailing and leading edges were reduced by 31%. Based on the optimized design of the blade, the mass of the blade was reduced by 22%. Furthermore, the fatigue life of the blade was investigated and analyzed, in which the simplified load model (SLM) and the aeroelastic FAST software program were employed to predict the lifetime of the blade. Finally, it was found that based on the SLM method the design life of a 5-kW blade is 20 years when carbon fiber material is used.

Construction and demolition waste constitutes the largest municipal solid waste globally with environmental concerns. However, waste management is not considered a priority objective in construction compared to time and cost. Therefore, construction practitioners’ waste management priority is evaluated in this study. A review of the literature revealed waste management attributes from multiple perspectives. A questionnaire survey was adopted to solicit practitioners’ contributions on their importance. Then, the attributes were prioritised and categorised into high, medium and low priorities using the voting analytical hierarchy process. Empirical results indicate that the high-priority materials procurement attributes were alliance with suppliers, a take-back clause in the suppliers’ agreement document, accurate material quantification, accurate material ordering and a just-in-time delivery plan. Senior managers’ early commitment to waste minimisation, effective communication among project participants, making subcontractors responsible for their waste, identifying recyclable materials and identifying reusable materials were high-priority attributes for managing waste in the construction stage. The findings of this study indicate areas where contractors should focus effort to improve waste management in the industry by collaborating with subcontractors and suppliers. Future studies should focus on developing frameworks that provide actionable means for implementing waste management attributes identified in this research study.
A sample STEM activity based on the engineering design process: A study on prospective preschool teachers’ views
Authors: PEKBAY Canay
Published: January 2023

This research aimed to introduce a STEM activity specifically prepared in accordance with the engineering design process and to examine a group of prospective preschool teachers’ views about the activity. A total of 16 prospective teachers studying in the final year of a public university in the West Black Sea Region, Turkey, during the fall semester of the 2021/22 academic year were the participants of the study. The STEM activity was based on the problem of making a fish model that can sink, swim and float in water. At the end of the activity, an open-ended activity opinion form was used to gather the prospective teachers’ views about the activity. The data were analyzed using the descriptive analysis method by taking into consideration the themes related to STEM, as specified in the theoretical framework. The results of the study show that the prospective teachers took the opportunity to experience how a STEM activity is held, that they found the activity fun and interesting, as well as conducive to learning science concepts and higher-order thinking skills. As for the negative aspects of the activity, the respondents stated that the activity was time-consuming, and that it was difficult to decide on and build the design. We believe that this study will provide theoretical and practical contributions to both researchers and preschool teachers.

Research on active learning that emphasises question formulation activities has received less attention. This study was conducted to address the said gap identified in the literature by testing the thinking empowerment by questioning (TEQ) strategy on the level of conceptual understanding (CK) and critical thinking (CT) of students in Biology subjects. We used a pre-test-post-test non-equivalent control group design with a sample of junior high school students (n = 176). Participants were divided into three groups, namely (1) the TEQ group, 61 students; (2) PS (problem-solving) group, 60 students; and (3) the CS (conventional strategy) group, 55 students. We also considered the effect of school type (public and religious) on student performance in each treatment group and identified a potential correlation between CK and CT. Statistical results showed that TEQ had a more effective and significant effect on students' CK and CT than in the two control groups. However, we identified no difference between students in public and religious schools in each treatment group. In addition, this study also found a strong correlation between CK and CT through the implementation of TEQ. Finally, TEQ is an effective active learning strategy that promotes students' critical thinking in science content and is equally effective when administered to public and religious schools.
