Authors: Sihombing Adrianus Adison , Fatra Maifalinda , Suhaib Abdul Quddus , Hussain Nazar
Published: May 2024

This article delineates the process of evaluating the substance of religious education literature affiliated with Islam, Catholicism, Protestantism, Hinduism, and Buddhism. Moderation is regarded as a fundamental component of a pluralistic and multicultural society. Beyond that, its primary objective is to prevent division within the nation and address the issue of intolerance in textbooks. By employing a qualitative-descriptive-exploratory conceptual framework and conducting focus group discussions (FGDs) with multiple experts, this writing method is informed by meticulous observation and reading of religious education texts spanning grades kindergarten to high school. This research demonstrates that religious textbooks continue to include material that has the potential to incite violence, prejudice, and hostility. Furthermore, this analysis establishes textbook evaluation as a "bridge" to achieving religious moderation in madrasas and institutions. The independent assessment team and the book evaluation committee were both interviewed. This study emphasises the significance of providing authors and publishers with writing guidelines, training, and mentoring to ensure that the quality of textbooks produced aligns with the content embraced by the nation's norms, values, and culture. Artikel ini menguraikan proses penilaian substansi literatur pendidikan agama yang berafiliasi dengan Islam, Katolik, Protestan, Hindu, dan Budha. Moderasi dianggap sebagai komponen mendasar dari masyarakat pluralistik dan multikultural. Selain itu, tujuan utamanya adalah untuk mencegah perpecahan dalam bangsa dan mengatasi masalah intoleransi dalam buku pelajaran. Dengan menggunakan kerangka konseptual kualitatif-deskriptif-eksploratif dan melakukan diskusi kelompok terfokus (FGD) dengan berbagai ahli, metode penulisan ini didasarkan pada observasi dan pembacaan yang cermat terhadap teks-teks pendidikan agama mulai dari tingkat taman kanak-kanak hingga sekolah menengah atas. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa buku teks agama masih memuat materi yang berpotensi memicu kekerasan, prasangka, dan permusuhan. Lebih lanjut, analisis ini menjadikan evaluasi buku teks sebagai “jembatan” pencapaian moderasi beragama di madrasah dan lembaga. Tim penilai independen dan panitia evaluasi buku sama-sama diwawancarai. Studi ini menekankan pentingnya memberikan pedoman penulisan, pelatihan, dan pendampingan kepada penulis dan penerbit untuk memastikan bahwa kualitas buku teks yang dihasilkan sejalan dengan konten yang dianut oleh norma, nilai, dan budaya bangsa.
Evaluation of heavy metal accumulation and associated human health risks in three commercial marine fish species from the Aegean Sea, Türkiye
Authors: Artar Engin , Olgunoglu Mine Percin , Olgunoglu Ilkan Ali
Published: May 2024

This study investigates the presence and concentrations of ten specific heavy metals in the muscle tissues and gonads of three commercially important marine fish species: Garfish (Belone belone), European barracuda (Sphyraena sphyraena), and Anglerfish (Lophius piscatorius) collected from the Aegean Sea in Türkiye. The results indicate variations in metal accumulation, both between genders and among species. The fish species tend to accumulate higher levels of heavy metals in their gonads than in muscle tissues (p<0.05). While Cr, Cd, and Pb were not detected, Zn, Cu, and Fe are the predominant metals in muscle tissues due to their essential biological roles. However, within toxic elements, Hg was predominant, and L. piscatorius, a benthic fish, exceeded its recommended safety limits. A health risk assessment suggests that except for L. piscatorius, consuming these fish species from the Aegean Sea is generally safe, with estimated weekly intake (EWI) values below permissible limits. Total Hazard Quotient (THQ) values for most metals are below 1, indicating no significant non-carcinogenic health risks for consumers. This study emphasizes the critical need for regularly monitoring heavy metal levels in marine fish from the Aegean Sea, Turkiye. While overall safety in consuming these fish is highlighted, exceptions exist, notably concerning Hg levels in L. piscatorius. Therefore, persistent monitoring of heavy metal concentrations, especially in L. piscatorius, is advised to ensure ongoing safety and mitigate potential risks of metal accumulation.

The object of research is technological processes, seeds of industrial hemp, and working bodies of the dehuller.
A centrifugal-type device for crushing hemp seeds with a closed sector-type working body has been designed. Owing to this, the task related to seed dehulling was solved with a high level of efficiency in separating the seed coat from the kernel.
The rational parameters for the dehuller have been substantiated: the diameter of the impeller is 162 mm, the gap between the impeller and the seed repelling panel is 80 mm, the frequency of rotation of the impeller is 2000 min–1. It was established that with the specified parameters and moisture content of the seeds within the limits of conditional (12.0–13.0 %), it is advisable to carry out dehulling process without preliminary separation of the seeds into fractions by width.
It was established that an increase in seed size leads to a corresponding increase in the weight share of seed kernels. About 58.2 % of the main mass of seeds is the average fraction with a width of 2.5 to 3.0 mm.
It was found that reducing the diameter of the impeller (from 236 mm to 162 mm) at a seed moisture content of 8.8 % improved the efficiency of dehulling. At a rotation frequency of the impeller of 2000 min–1, the highest total number of intact and destroyed kernels (23.23–29.33 %) was achieved for the two studied moistures. With an increase in seed moisture content from 8.8 % to 12.0 %, the number of dehulled kernels in the hempseed cake increased.
It was noted that for seeds with a moisture content of 8.8 %, an increase in the gap led to a decrease in the dehulling efficiency for each of the three investigated seed fractions. The total number of dehulled kernels under such conditions decreased by 2.4–6.8 % and amounted to 16.4–26.9 %. For seeds with a moisture content of 12.0 %, an increase in the gap, on the contrary, increased the dehulling efficiency for each of the three investigated seed fractions. The total number of dehulled kernels for seeds of marked moisture increased within the range of 1.4–3.6 % and amounted to 27.4–31.0 %

The task related to using inorganic compounds for extinguishing flames is to enable their inhibitory capacity during operation within wide limits. Therefore, the object of the current research was aqueous solutions of inorganic salts, on which the effectiveness of inhibitory properties during interaction with n-heptane flame was established. It has been proven that increasing the mass flow rate of water by 1.5 mg/s reduces the intensity of OH-radicals radiation from 70 % to 30 % and lowers the flame temperature by 90 °C. However, it was found that when potassium salts are given, the intensity of OH-radicals radiation decreases by more than 6 times, potassium chloride and sulfate reduce the intensity of OH-radicals radiation by more than 2.8 times. Among ammonium salts, salts of dihydrogen phosphate and ammonium hydrogen phosphate reduce the relative intensity of radiation of OH radicals by more than 1.3 times. Sodium salts include nitrates and sodium chloride, which reduce the relative radiation intensity of OH radicals by more than 1.6 times. This is manifested, first of all, in the enrichment of the combustible environment with fuel. When determining the flame temperature of flammable liquids, it was established that n-heptane has the most stable and highest flame temperature, which is 1768 °C. When adding inorganic compounds to the flame of n-heptane, nitrate salt, and potassium chloride, the flame temperature increased by less than 20 °C. However, ammonium salts increased the flame temperature to over 140 °C, despite the presence of water. The practical significance is that the results were taken into account during the design and development of extinguishing agents for extinguishing fires. Therefore, there are reasons to assert the possibility of regulating flame extinguishing processes by using inorganic compounds capable of inhibiting active flame radicals
Working process model development of the gas turbine engine combustor fueling on methanol
Authors: Shevchenko Mykhailo , Ambrozhevich Maya , Fesenko Kseniia
Published: May 2024

The use of methanol as a fuel for aircraft and stationary gas turbine engines (GTE) is a priority direction in engine building. It is well known that when modeling the GTE performances using first-level mathematical models, there is an error in calculating specific fuel consumption, which is caused by the simplified description of the GTE combustor working process. The object of the study is the working process in the GTE combustor fueling on methanol. The peculiarity of the developed mathematical model of the working process of the GTE combustor is the use of enthalpy dependencies on temperature, pressure, and mixture composition. Enthalpy dependencies in this form implicitly account for the effect of thermal dissociation and allow for the correct formulation of the equivalent combustion reaction path. For two components (H2O and CO2), accounting for pressure leads to the fact that at standard temperature and partial pressures exceeding the saturation pressure, these components exist in a liquid state. This situation, with a constant enthalpy increment in the equivalent process of heating the combustion products from the standard temperature to the temperature at the end of adiabatic heat supply, decreases this temperature.
Clarification of the temperature at the combustor outlet leads to changes in all calculated combustor performances, including the combustor fuel air ratio. The calculation results of the fuel air ratio are compared with known experimental data of the General Electric CF6-80A engine combustor (USA). The average calculation error of the fuel air ratio does not exceed 4 %. The developed model can be implemented in existing and developing mathematical models of gas turbine engines for temperatures at the end of the combustion process below 2,600 K

The paper presents the results of the study of the proposed type of variable profile piles. The proposed type of piles is reinforced concrete driven piles segmented in length. Each subsequent section has a radial displacement along the axis of symmetry relative to the previous section. The positive effect of the performance of the proposed pile is to change the nature of the lateral contact of the pile with the soil, and to increase the drag of the soil.  The conducted research is aimed at solving the problem related to the relatively low bearing capacity of traditional square section piles. The research was carried out by the method of model tests of piles on a test bench (tray) at a scale of 1:10. The tests were performed for variant pile types in comparison with a standard square section prismatic pile. The adopted dimensions of the pile model allow the use of this tray without the influence of its boundary conditions on the stress-strain state of the soil. A total of 42 tests were performed, 3 tests for each type of piles compared. Evaluation of pile bearing capacity was performed by static loading of pile models with vertical indentation load until failure. According to the results of the investigations, the resistance values of the compared pile types in the soil were obtained, as well as the dependence of bearing capacity changes on the section dimensions and on the rotation angle. According to the results, the optimal pile solution was selected. The bearing capacity of the proposed optimal pile solution exceeds the bearing capacity of the standard driven pile by 22 %. The results obtained allow us to conclude about the influence of the technological solution of the proposed pile type on its serviceability in soil conditions

Published: May 2024

This work reports the development of inline inspection (ILI) methodology to enhance the pigging activity for the dented pipeline, facilitate the pigging process to prevent Pipeline Inspection Gauge (PIG) from getting stuck and improve the safety passage for buckled pipelines. The recent report unveils the condition of the UNPIGGABLE pipelines, which reduce the inner diameter of pipelines to 257.51 mm, equivalent to 27.58 % of the initial diameter and restricts the pigging activity. In this report, the pull-through test coupled with the collapsibility test was conducted. The success of the test above allows the ILI equipment based on the magnetic flux leakage (MFL) technique to record the internal and external wall loss inwardly and geometric defect on diameter of the pipelines. The prepared artificial dented pipeline was made before it underwent several tests. Based on the pull-through test, the maximum force of 27000 N is more significant than the pipeline operating pressure to enable the MFL tool to pass through the pipelines despite exhibiting the geometry anomaly. Compressing the opposite magnetic yoke of the collapsibility test is critical, showing that the ILI MFL tool reaches its maximum compression of 242 mm. The value is lower than the minimum internal diameter of 257 mm. The ILI results show that the highest metal loss was achieved at 73 % at 15504 m at the bottom of the inspected pipelines. At the same time, the dented area reduces to more than 6 % of the pipelines’ nominal outer diameter and imposes the pipe’s integrity status to red. The distinctive result of the research can be used to model the future unprecedented pigging process when buckles appear in pipelines

The object of this study is the cross-country ability of four-wheel drive vehicles under off-road conditions.
Based on the results of analysis of known studies, it was determined that the procedures of experimental assessment of the load-bearing capacity of bearing surfaces (BS), based on the use of the cone index, are used in NATO member countries. They take into account the characteristics of the surface of the theater of operations and make it possible to determine the approximate speeds of all-wheel drive vehicles with the help of standardized computer software. In the procedures for assessing the load-bearing capacity of BSs, which use the soil deformation module E, there is no possibility for calculating the speed of the car with known axle loads. In addition, they provide for the determination of a number of parameters of the bearing surface, such as the coefficient of adhesion, the angle of internal friction in the soil, and the shear modulus during the formation of a track. This makes them much more difficult compared to the procedures used by NATO.
Therefore, the problem that is solved in this work is to improve the methodology for assessing the reference cross-country ability of four-wheel drive vehicles.
Based on the results of scientific research, motion modeling was carried out in the MATLAB Simulink environment to determine parameters of reference cross-country ability of four-wheel drive vehicles.
In order to determine the cross-country ability of samples of wheeled military vehicles (WMV) based on the indicator of the maximum pressure value (mean measure pressure – MMP), the conducted experimental studies were analyzed. They showed a difference in the speed modes of vehicles of the same gross weight but different layout schemes, within 11–12 %. Therefore, the methodology for assessing the cross-country ability based on MMP has been improved to take into account the features of the layout of WMV samples. Specifically, taking into account the different values of loads on the front axle of vehicles with hoodless and hood layouts at the same gross weight.
In general, the improved procedure makes it possible to give a quantitative assessment of the movement mobility of WMV samples with various layout schemes and an assessment of their potential cross-country ability on the basis of the proposed refinement of MMP calculation

A CASE STUDY: DEPTH IMPACT ON RECOVERY OF IMMISCIBLE GAS INJECTION IN AN IRANIAN UNDERSATURATED OIL RESERVOIR
Authors: Zobeidi Sepideh
Published: May 2024

In saturated oil reservoirs, the pressure of the reservoir is gradually reduced with oil production, which ultimately leads to gas production of the reservoir and formation of a gas cap. After the period of natural depletion from oil reservoirs, it is necessary to use secondary and then tertiary methods of enhanced oil recovery (EOR). One of the most common methods, if gas is available, is gas injection. By injecting gas while pressure maintenance and re-pressuring to the initial pressure of the reservoir, the recovery factor increases. This increase in recovery factor mainly occurs due to maintenance or an increase in pressure and a decrease in interfacial tension (IFT) and viscosity. In Iran, except in one of the fields where gas injection is done with the aim of miscible gas injection, other gas injection projects are done with the aim of
pressure maintenance. In these projects, the proper place for injection is not taken into consideration, and the gas is done in the highest part of the reservoir. The question was raised at what depth the gas injection should be done to be optimal. Therefore, one of the reservoirs in the south of Iran was selected, and a feasibility study was conducted with the aim of determining the most suitable injection point. In this study, the issue of the appropriate place for gas injection, whether it is in the gas cap, in the middle of the production column, or near the water/oil contact, has been investigated, and the results have been presented. Also, it is approved that the injection in a saturated reservoir has a higher recovery factor than under a saturated reservoir. Finally, injection near water/oil contact is known as the preferred option.

Legal Protection of Rights to Cryptocurrency: Contemporary Narrative, Problems and Prospects
Authors: Gertsen Polina , Churilov Aleksey
Published: May 2024

Based on the analysis of legal norms, explanations provided by the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, and legal practice, it can be concluded that issues related to the judicial protection of cryptocurrencies, including through the use of criminal law and criminal procedure, have not been subject to consistent regulation within the current legislative framework. This poses a threat to the possibility to prosecute individuals involved in cryptocurrency theft and the accessibility of legal remedies for those who became victims of such cases. The authors conclude that at present the legal narrative has been established, which effectively serves as a sole source of the law enforcement practice in the absence of comprehensive regulatory provisions.
The authors have formulated some proposals for the improvement of the existing legislation aimed at addressing the identified and researched legislative ambiguities and ensuing the access of cryptocurrency owners to the judicial protection of their rights.
Factors Influencing the Assessment of a Person’s Stature from Their Foot Length
Authors: Ivanov Viacheslav , Maksimov Nikolay , Shachkova Irina
Published: May 2024

Determining a person’s stature from their foot length is of great criminalistic significance in the process of identifying a person. The analysis of research publications on this issue showed that there is a variety of approaches to calculating the approximate height of a person based on their foot length and footprints (dynamic, static) and that the majority of authors believe it possible to determine a person’s stature from their foot size (some using its length, and others — the width of its mesopodial or calcaneal parts). However, different approaches yield different results. In order to clarify the possible reasons for obtaining different results, the authors supposed that such factors as a person’s sex, age, build and place of residence in childhood could have an influence on the correlation between the stature and the foot length. The article presents the results of their study.

Published: May 2024

The Baduy people of the Banten Province in Western Java are one of many peoples that make up the larger Sundanese ethnic group in Indonesia. The life of the Baduy Dalam (the Inner Baduy people) is interestingly bound to their customary rules and norms including those regulating their naming system. This research discusses the Baduy naming system which has a unique concept of naming a child using part of his/her parents’ byname. In the research, 493 people and their bynames were selected from a total population of 1,202. The names were collected from the Family ID Cards of those living in three Baduy Dalam villages — Cibeo, Cikeusik, and Cikartawana. The study also utilized interviews with informants who have considerable knowledge about the bynames of the Baduy people. These interviews were conducted to see when and how the names of Ayah, Ambu, Ki, and Ni were formed. In Baduy tradition, parents are called Ayah (male) and Ambu (female) followed by the name of their child. Similarly, grandparents are called Ki (male) or Ni (female) followed by their grandchild’s name. It is not always the first child or a male child whose name is taken for his/her parents’ or grandparents’ byname. The choice is taken based on agreement among family members. The research was informed by the study of personal names known as anthroponomastics, and more specifically, by Eva Brylla’s anthroponomastic theory of the byname (Brylla, 2018).

Published: May 2024

This research was conducted to examine the impact of the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) and Direct Learning (DL) model on the learning outcomes of students in rural areas concerning English descriptive text composition. The models introduced a meaningful learning experience within conventional classroom settings, enabling students to connect prior knowledge with new information in creating innovative ideas. TPACK model played an essential role in the educational system, facilitating teachers in integrating technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge throughout the instructional process. Therefore, students became more engaged, active, and enthusiastic participants in their learning. An authentic experimental and control group design was carried out in two parallel classes at a senior high school. Meanwhile, ANOVA Factorial (2-way ANOVA) was used to analyze the data. The results showed that the learning outcomes of TPACK were significantly different from those of the DL group. Therefore, TPACK substantially affected the learning outcomes of students in writing English descriptive text. This research reported the valuable contribution of the model in equipping future teachers with the knowledge necessary to integrate content, learning theories, teaching models, methods, and technology into their instructional practices.
Domingo Rogelio León: Un tejedor entre lenguas chaima-español. Auto-traducción e imaginarios en constante creación

La literatura indígena descolonial incorpora mecanismos de traducción y (auto) traducción para recrear la nostalgia de una oralidad perdida. Además de conseguir instaurar la memoria mutilada de los pueblos colonizados durante la elaboración de una escritura híbrida y fronteriza. El objetivo principal de este artículo es reflexionar sobre cómo estas categorías aparecen en el poemario bilingüe Catador de Cuchillos (2011) del escritor venezolano Domingo Rogelio León (1935) con apoyo de las teorías de Mignolo (2003, 2014), Bandia (2011), Lepe (2011, 2012) y Viereck (2007) exploraremos los significados que la traducción imprime a la presencia de una alteridad dentro de un diálogo intercultural y translingüístico. Asimismo, analizaremos las estrategias de (auto) traducción y de (re) creación concernientes a las marcas culturales que colocan “lo local en lo global” para finalmente responder ¿es posible restaurar parte del proceso creativo de un autor/traductor de una lengua indígena que resulta la misma persona dentro de la obra editada? Todo un desafío para la crítica genética o de procesos frente a las estéticas descoloniales en la pluralidad lingüística y cultural de Latinoamérica.

La traducción como tránsito en la obra de Márgara Russotto
Authors:   Universidad del Atlántico, Díaz Muñoz Eliana
Published: May 2024

La obra de Márgara Russotto está impregnada de la experiencia del viaje. Como poeta, crítica y traductora que migró al Caribe venezolano cuando apenas tenía doce años, luego salió hasta Brasil para cursar un doctorado en Literatura comparada y finalmente, ha permanecido largo tiempo en Estados Unidos como profesora universitaria, se ha preocupado por el modo en que el sujeto traslada sus recorridos vitales e intelectuales al texto literario. Tanto en una primera fase de su obra poética, caso Restos del viaje a Épica mínima, hasta sus traducciones de Cecília Meireles, Oswald de Andrade, Antonio Cándido, Claudio Magris, Giuseppe Ungaretti, Alfonso Gatto y Alberto Caramella revelan las tensiones del paso de una lengua a otra, de un código cultural a otro y cómo se evidencia una transformación en el texto y en quien traduce. Al ser muy amplio el espectro de análisis, solo se expondrá en el artículo las distintas concepciones de traducción que se expresan en la poesía russotiana en diálogo con las propuestas de Benjamin (1971) y Glissant (2006), principalmente la que percibe este acto como tránsito, como aproximación a y desde realidades desconocidas.
El concepto de (re)traducción bajo el abordaje procesual: Un estudio empírico-experimental basado en datos de registro de teclado y ratón
Authors:   Universidade de Brasília, Malta Gleiton
Published: May 2024

Este estudio se ubica en el campo disciplinario de los estudios de traducción, específicamente en los estudios descriptivos orientados al proceso traductor. Forma parte de una investigación amplia (Malta, 2015) cuyo objetivo fue caracterizar el proceso traductor en una tarea de (re)traducción a partir de datos de registro de teclado y ratón (key-logging) y seguimiento de ojos (eye-tracking) triangulados con protocolos retrospectivos. El análisis buscó evidencias de esfuerzo cognitivo. Los participantes de la investigación fueron estudiantes de traducción y profesores de español como lengua extranjera, todos con experiencia en traducción. El proceso traductor de los participantes se capturó en tiempo real mediante programa de grabación de accionamientos de teclado y ratón (Translog-II) y por rastreador de ojos (Tobii T60). Este artículo es el segundo de una trilogía sobre el proceso de (re)traducción, cuyo primer trabajo se publicó en 2016. Aquí se presentarán y se analizarán los datos de key-logging. Respecto a las fases del proceso traductor, los resultados revelaron que los participantes del estudio gastaron más tiempo en la fase de redacción, seguida de la fase de orientación y, por último, de la fase de revisión, siendo ésta la más heterogénea. Además, se registró que el número de micro-unidades de traducción impactó en el tiempo de ejecución total de la tarea.

El artículo tiene como propósito ofrecer una primera mirada a la evolución y al estado de la cuestión de los trabajos de investigación en estudios de traducción e interpretación (ETI) publicados en Hispanoamérica. Con tal objetivo, se examina la información pertinente disponible en BITRA (base de datos con más de 68 000 referencias bibliográficas en el campo) y se aplican técnicas de conteo de publicaciones (Grbć y Pöllabauer, 2008c; Li, 2015; Martínez-Gómez, 2015) a un corpus de 669 artículos publicados en 72 revistas de origen hispanoamericano. Se examinan aspectos relativos al desarrollo y situación actual de la disciplina en la región: evolución y distribución de la producción, idiomas utilizados, tendencias temáticas, revistas y autores más productivos, filiaciones académicas, principales centros de publicación e índices de coautoría. Los resultados indican un aumento en la región del interés en los ETI, de la productividad y de la coautoría intrauniversitaria a partir de los años noventa. También revelan el predominio de los temas literarios y del monolingüismo a la hora de publicar, así como la escasez de revistas especializadas, un bajo índice de coautoría internacional y una gran presencia de actores con filiación no hispanoamericana en los comités editoriales, aunque poca como autores.
Presentación. Los estudios de traducción e interpretación en América Latina I

Published: May 2024

Con poco más de medio siglo de existencia, los estudios de traducción, o traductología, han acrecentado una presencia internacional e interdisciplinaria como lo confirman la consolidación de programas de pre y posgrado, las investigaciones y publicaciones especializadas y los congresos internacionales dedicados tanto a la difusión de investigaciones en curso, como al fortalecimiento de una comunidad investigadora internacional. Del mismo modo, las relaciones entre, por un lado, las asociaciones profesionales de traductores e intérpretes y, por el otro, el ámbito universitario, han ido estrechándose de maneras prometedoras. Así, en Latinoamérica, los estudiosos de la traducción son cada vez más conscientes de la necesidad de recurrir tanto a las herramientas de disciplinas vecinas que permiten complejizar la traducción como objeto de estudio, como a la observación directa de las prácticas traductoras en los contextos socioculturales en los que tienen lugar. La visibilidad de la que estas prácticas gozan ahora y el creciente interés por estudiarlas desde las más variadas perspectivas disciplinarias son dos de los resultados más claros de este enfoque bifronte.
Lo abstracto y lo concreto de las lenguas indígenas según las gramáticas misioneras del Arzobispado Limense, siglos XVI y XVII

Published: May 2024

En este trabajo tomamos como objeto de estudio la manera en que los misioneros gramáticos en América asumieron la discusión sobre la relación abstracto/concreto desde una perspectiva lingüística. Debido a su política lingüística y eclesiástica, para el análisis hemos tomado un conjunto de obras escritas en el Arzobispado de Lima, de los siglos XVI y XVII. En estas obras vemos cómo dicha discusión se plasmó en los tratados gramaticales misioneros a través del tratamiento de la expresión, en idiomas indígenas americanos, de conceptos abstractos, o bien, su no expresión, por una supuesta preminencia de términos concretos. A partir de un análisis gramatical y semántico, descubrimos que predomina la distinción que relaciona lo abstracto con ‘nociones’ y lo concreto con ‘entidades’, siguiendo la tradición clásica. Por una parte, esta idea se encuentra explícitamente en la descripción de la composición morfológica del ‘nombre abstracto’, delimitado como categoría gramatical en la tradición gramatical clásica y renacentista. Por otra parte, detectamos este asunto en la expresión lingüística de la cuantificación y la temporalidad, gracias a que en el contenido semántico de ambas subyace la idea de ‘medición’.
Exploring Writing Anxiety during Writing Process: An Analysis of Perceptions in Chinese English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Learners

Writing anxiety has been identified as a significant obstacle for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in China, with previous studies indicating that it can negatively affect writing performance. Despite this, most research on writing anxiety in the Chinese EFL context has focused on the relationship between writing anxiety and writing performance, with limited attention paid to exploring writing anxiety during the writing process and its sources in depth. This study applied a qualitative method to explore Chinese EFL learners’ writing anxiety in the writing process. Thematic analysis was used for analyzing data collected through semi-structured interviews with 18 Chinese EFL learners. The results revealed seven primary themes, including lack of knowledge about the writing topic, inexperience with the genre, challenges with brainstorming or coming up with ideas, trouble with structuring or arranging information, difficulty with integrating sources, linguistic difficulty, and negative or no feedback from instructors. The findings indicated that writing anxiety accompanies throughout the writing process. EFL learners need strategies to alleviate writing anxiety, including clear instructions on how to approach writing tasks, provision of appropriate resources, individualized feedback, and a supportive learning environment.
THE SOCIETY, THE SAVANTS, AND THE SCIENTIST: A GLIMPSE AT THE SOCIÉTÉ GÉOLOGIQUE DE FRANCE THROUGH THE ACTIVITY OF THE FOUNDING MEMBER NÉRÉE BOUBÉE (1830-1860)
Authors: DE M. FIGUEIRÔA SILVIA F.
Published: May 2024

The relevance of the Société Géologique de France (SGF) in the geoscientific landscape is undoubtedly recognized, but the academic literature dedicated to its history is scarce. The present paper aims to portray some aspects of the SGF's ordinary functioning filtered through the eyes and experience of a first-time member during the years he was active in the Society's life—approximately from 1830 to 1860. The basic assumption is that the SGF, similar to the Geological Society of London and other (geo)scientific societies, was an “arena of geological debate in the early Nineteenth century” (Rudwick 1986). Within this arena, not only scientific cultures, ideas, and practices were confronted, but also savants, experts, and amateurs clashed with each other. The constant and often very intense participation of Nérée Boubée (1806-1862) reveals much about the SGF and himself. We will follow his footsteps as a guiding thread of the narrative. Not being a savant, nor part of the élite of geology at his time, neither was Boubée a typical amateur. As was the case of many other members of the SGF, he may be considered an “accomplished” member— i.e., a geologist specialist in a more restricted subject (Rudwick 1985, p. 120). Boubée's trajectory within the SGF is a good window to see the functioning of the SGF in more detail, as it may also exemplify the paths followed by other ordinary members like him, who constituted the majority of the membership. The article concludes that the SGF was indeed an “arena” both in terms of the construction of knowledge and practices, and at the personal level of intra-community interactions.
GORDON LYALL PAVER (1913–1988) AND 42ND GEOLOGICAL SECTION, SOUTH AFRICAN ENGINEER CORPS: MILITARY GEOLOGY AND GEOPHYSICS IN WORLD WAR II SUPPORTING BRITISH ARMY OPERATIONS: PART 1, THE EAST AFRICAN CAMPAIGN 1940–1941
Authors: ROSE EDWARD P. F.
Published: May 2024

42nd Geological Section of the South African Engineer Corps was a unique unit that supported British armed forces during World War II. It was co-founded and led for most of the war by Gordon Lyall Paver (1913–1988), one of the few ‘British’ officers serving specifically as geologists during the war to achieve the rank of major. Born in South Africa at Johannesburg and in his early years educated there at St. John's College, from 1926 Paver was educated in England, at Charterhouse School until admitted in 1931 to Pembroke College in the University of Cambridge, where he studied chemistry, geology and mineralogy. He graduated in 1934 and returned to South Africa, being appointed to the Geological Survey of South Africa as one of its first geophysicists and contributing to magnetometric and gravimetric surveys in the Transvaal region, expertise used in 1938 to 1940 to draft his thesis for a PhD degree (awarded in 1942). Although married in 1939 and briefly employed as a consultant geophysicist, in August 1940 Paver was one of the first three geoscientists to be mobilized as officers to found 42nd Geological Section, at Zonderwater near Pretoria in South Africa. After only a month's military training, at the end of September the Section and its vehicles deployed by rail and sea to a base near Nairobi in Kenya for operational service in East Africa, with ‘Acting Captain’ Paver as its Second-in-Command. Detachments from the Section were widely deployed in Kenya and later in Italian and British Somaliland (present-day Somalia) and also in Abyssinia (present-day Ethiopia) for surveys by means primarily of electrical earth resistivity but also vertical force magnetometer. These guided drilling of wells by another unit of the South African Engineer Corps to abstract potable groundwater— thereby facilitating troop concentrations and forward movements in arid or semi-arid regions during the ‘British’ Army's East African Campaign. Members of the Section also compiled geological maps of Kenya at scales of 1:1,000,000 and 1:2,000,000 and pioneered a military geological unit created within the East African Engineers that supported British forces in the region from 1941 to 1945. The Campaign drew to a victorious close during 1941 and, from the end of August, the Section was re-deployed northwards to a base near Cairo in Egypt. It continued to serve within the British Army's Middle East Command but with leadership now by Paver, promoted ‘Acting Major’ from 31 August and in December ‘mentioned in despatches’ for his earlier distinguished service in East Africa.
AN OVERVIEW OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF STRATIGRAPHY IN ITALY DURING THE 17TH AND 18TH CENTURIES: FROM STENO TO ARDUINO
Authors: VACCARI EZIO
Published: May 2024

The great variety of lithological, stratigraphical and structural features (particularly in mountain areas), as well as volcanoes and sub–volcanic phenomena, attracted many travelling scientists to the Italian peninsula since the 17th century. The description of the Earth's strata became an important issue of the naturalistic research after the works by Niels Steensen (Steno). From the end of the 17th century until the end of the 18th century lithostratigraphical research developed in Italy within the studies and fieldwork of remarkable scientists, such as Antonio Vallisneri, Luigi Ferdinando Marsili, Giovanni Arduino and others. The emergence of stratigraphy, as a significant part of the new science of geology, was later supported by the work of several Italian scientists and geological institutions from the 19th to the 20th century.
THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE DE FILIPPI EXPEDITION (1913–1914) TO THE GEOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE OF THE AKSAI CHIN REGION (WESTERN HIMALAYA)

Published: May 2024

Between the years 1913 to 1914 the De Filippi Expedition, led by the Italian explorer and mountaineer Filippo De Filippi (1869–1938), traversed the Himalayan Range from Kashmir to Baltistan and Xinjiang. Exploring mostly unknown territories, traveling more than 2000 kilometers, and equipped with advanced instruments for geodetic and meteorological measurements, the expedition members surveyed, mapped and collected rocks and fossils including from the remote Aksai Chin region. After almost two years, the expedition returned to Italy, however, publication of the findings was delayed due to the outbreak of the First World War. The fossil material and syntheses of the geology and stratigraphy of the area represented unique documents on this sector of Western Tibet, with the Cretaceous Period being documented by the expedition for the first time in the whole Trans-Himalayan Range. The Aksai Chin region remains poorly explored even today, and the De Filippi collection which is housed in the Natural History Museum of the University of Florence now represents one of the few records available for reconstructing the stratigraphy of the area. It constitutes a valuable resource regarding the history of the scientific exploration and understanding of the geology and paleontology of the region, providing a unique window into a very remote and fascinating part of the world.
