Use of Used Graphite Electrodes as Metal Matrix Composites Reinforcement
Authors: Łągiewka Małgorzata
Published: February 2024

The work presents the effect of the addition of graphite from recycled graphite electrodes on the mechanical properties of metal matrix composites (MMC) based on the AlMg10 alloy. A composite based on the AlMg10 alloy reinforced with natural graphite particles was also tested. Further, tests of the mechanical properties of the AlMg10 alloy were performed for comparative purposes. Composites with a particle content of 5, 10 and 15 percent by volume were produced by adding introduction of particles into the liquid matrix while mechanically mixing molten alloy. The composite suspensions were gravitationally cast into metal molds. Samples for the Rm, R0.2, A and E tests were made from the prepared castings. Photos of the microstructures of the materials were also taken. The research shows that the addition of graphite to the matrix alloy causes minor changes in tensile strength (Rm) and yield strength (R02), regardless of the type of graphite used. The results of the relative elongation tests showed that the introduction of graphite particles into the matrix alloy had an adverse effect on the elongation values in the case of each of the tested composites. The introduction of graphite particles into the AlMg10 alloy significantly increased the Young’s modulus value, both in the case of composites with flake graphite (natural) and graphite from ground graphite electrodes.

In this paper, we first use particle swarm optimization to improve the BP neural network algorithm to optimize the neural network connection weights and thresholds and then apply it to the flexible manufacturing system to build a complete, flexible manufacturing process of mass customization. Based on the nonlinear mapping relationship between customer demand and product structure, a three-layer network is used to identify the effective demand of customers as well as the actual risk of the enterprise in order to satisfy the common users who do not care about the product structure and the optimization of industrial structure. After completing the configuration, the system is applied to an automobile company and a manufacturing company for testing purposes. After a long time of use, the average accuracy error is 0.0061. The value of the body module ignored by the customer is as high as 0.129, and the weight of the indicator system of the traveling control module is as low as 0.072, but it has become one of the most important indicators of the potential demand of the customer. Supply chain risk has a maximum difference of 6% when compared to the actual values. The manufacturer’s expectation value of 3.8967 for SCRF11 is “low”.

Authors: Yang Min
Published: February 2024

The relationship between Chinese art and design aesthetics and traditional Chinese philosophical concepts is inextricably linked. In this paper, the design elements in art design are first decomposed into characteristic elements, and the value domain of aesthetic characteristic parameters is determined by constructing the mathematical model between each characteristic element and sensual imagery. The aesthetic degree judgment method was used to quantify the aesthetic features. To examine the maximum factors that influence the aesthetic degree of art design, a multivariate quantitative model was utilized. Finally, through the quantification of aesthetics, the aesthetic concepts of national traditional culture in art design were analyzed, and the perception of aesthetics was elevated from perceptual to rational level so as to obtain the design art scheme and design law. The results show that the five elements of fire, earth, wood, water and gold colors in Chinese traditional art design, with brightness values of 65, 37, 28, 54 and 21, respectively, conform to the ratio of gray to medium tones, and generally interpret the cultural connotations of softness, harmony, conservatism, heaviness, simplicity, calmness and generosity. In this paper, we gain more knowledge about the traditional aesthetic culture in art design and encourage the application of national traditional culture in art design.

Published: February 2024

У статті розглянуто поняття конотації як багатоаспектного явища, що має додатковий відтінок, компонент значення, семантичну модифікацію, процес, ознаку, знакову систему та мисленнєво-мовний механізм. Розкрито питання лексичної конотації в мовній культурі учнів, знання ними статусу конотації, її видів, межі функціонування та вмінь застосовувати конотації у творчих письмових роботах. Мета нашого дослідження полягає у вивченні феномену конотацій та аналізі зразків вживання їх у письмовій творчій діяльності учнів старших класів. Для досягнення мети розв’язано такі завдання: узагальнено теоретичні питання функціонування поняття конотації; розкрито сутність лексичної конотації та її різновиди, специфіку їх використання у творчих письмових роботах учнів. В аналізованих роботах виявлено такі різновиди конотацій: колоративи, зооніми, фітоніми. Аналіз цих видів лексичної конотації в її подвійному значенні в письмовій творчій діяльності учнів старших класів показав, що вони безпосередньо пов’язані з національною культурою, позаяк сформовані в певному національно-мовному середовищі, де основним чинником, що впливає на смисловий ореол слова, є прагматика тих, хто спілкується певною мовою. Конотації виконують кумулятивну, семантичну або стилістичну, емоційно-оцінну функції. Конотації колоративів містять інформацію про найбільш стійкі (підсвідомі) зорові смаки сприйняття певною спільнотою кольорів, які, відтворюючись в індивідуальному мовленні носіїв мови, формують ментальність особистості. Серед зоонімів і фітонімів, уживаних з метою виділення позитивних або негативних якостей людини, трапляються і звичайні лексеми, і слова-символи, і фразеологізми. Перспектива нашого подальшого дослідження полягає в детальнішому аналізі емоційно-оцінного ставлення особистості до навколишнього світу, інших людей, до самої себе, виявлюваного через вживання різних видів конотації у творчій діяльності учнів, задля глибшого пізнання національних мовних особливостей.
A Comparative Study of Education Systems in Nigeria and Other Developing Countries
Authors: Ejuchegahi Anthony Angwaomaodoko
Published: February 2024

Education plays a vital role in the development and progress of any society, and understanding the similarities and differences between education systems can provide valuable insights. In developing nations like China, Ghana, and Nigeria, education is, without a doubt, the basis of growth and progress. This comparative study aims to analyze and contrast the education systems in Nigeria, a developing country, with those in other developing countries (including Ghana, Kenya, Morocco, and China). By examining key elements such as access, quality, curriculum, and infrastructure, we can identify similarities, differences, and areas for improvement. While these countries and some other developing countries have their unique context, we can identify some general trends and factors that impact their educational systems, such as Access to Education, Quality of Education, Curriculum and Teaching Methods, Technology Integration, and Government Policies and Investment. In some of these developing countries, including Nigeria, there is a significant gap in access to quality education, especially in rural areas. Factors like poverty, infrastructure, and cultural barriers can limit children's access to schools. Some of these developing countries, including Nigeria, often struggle to provide high-quality education due to limited resources, inadequate infrastructure, and a shortage of trained teachers. This can result in overcrowded classrooms, outdated curricula, and a lack of necessary teaching materials. While more developed countries tend to have better access to educational technology, developing countries are also making efforts to incorporate technology into their classrooms. However, the level of technology integration may differ significantly between countries. Government commitment to education plays a crucial role. In some developing countries, education is not prioritized, resulting in underfunding, inadequate policies, and limited opportunities for professional development. Conversely, other developing countries may allocate more resources to education and prioritize its improvement.

While conducting the study, a descriptive survey was used; therefore, questionnaires and interview schedules were used in data collection. The study was guided by the life course theory, which was proposed by Elder (2000). The theory believes that there is a strong link between children's environments and their economic success. The study targeted 5125 class eight learners, 55 headteachers, 55 class teachers, learners who have missed the transition to secondary schools since 2018, and the sub-county Director of Education. Purposive sampling was used to select learners who did not transition to secondary schools. 20% of learners in class Eight were selected to participate in the study, as suggested by Mugenda (2003). The total number of respondents was 1136.

The questionnaires used for teachers and learners had coefficients of 0.749 and 0.678, respectively. Raw data collected was analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively using SPSS package and then presented in tables and charts. The findings of the study were that family background greatly influences transition rates of learners in the sub-county.

For the said findings, therefore, there is a need for the government to put adequate measures in place to address the challenges.

Authors: Kongo Choke Elizabeth  , Park Seung Woo  , Nwahanye Emmanuel
Published: February 2024

Work stress is on the rise in Buea microfinance institutions due to a variety of factors, such as poor working conditions, political uncertainty, unfavorable environmental conditions, and high levels of poverty. The crisis in Cameroon's South-West and North-West regions has aggravated the situation. These institutions' management has implemented stress management techniques to address this issue and improve employee performance. The primary goal of this research was to investigate the effect of these techniques on employee performance in a sample of microfinance institutions in Buea, Cameroon. Stress management training, flextime arrangements, psychological support, relaxation, and counseling were all considered stress management techniques. The descriptive survey research design was used, and data were collected through questionnaires from 220 employees of 30 microfinance institutions in Buea. Purposive sampling was used in this study. The data were analyzed with the Ordinary Least Squares regression model. The study's findings revealed that stress management training, flextime arrangements, and counseling had a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Psychological support and relaxation, on the other hand, had little or no impact. Based on these findings, it is suggested that management in these institutions prioritize stress management training, flextime arrangements, and counseling as effective stress-reduction and performance-improvement strategies. Other techniques can be enhanced and developed further.

Published: February 2024

El fin de este trabajo es el análisis de la situación laboral de la mujer extranjera en España. Pone de manifiesto las deficiencias y los avances en la normativa legal. También aborda la situación de las trabajadoras del hogar y cómo está incidiendo la actual normativa en las relaciones laborales en el sector doméstico, sus beneficios, insuficiencias y, lo que es más importante aún, su impacto en la vida laboral de las mujeres extranjeras. Tradicionalmente, han sido los hombres quienes han llevado a cabo la mayoría de los movimientos migratorios. Sin embargo, en las últimas décadas es cuando este fenómeno social se ha visto feminizado. Han sido las mujeres las protagonistas de las nuevas migraciones. Han iniciado su aventura en búsqueda de nuevas oportunidades de manera autónoma. Las trabajadoras extranjeras en España son uno de los colectivos que se encuentra ampliamente discriminado y, asimismo, está afectado por la brecha salarial. Según los datos oficialmente publicados se puede afirmar que la mayoría de las mujeres inmigrantes ven como puerta de acceso al mundo laboral el sector del empleo doméstico, en el que sus condiciones laborales son precarias, con salarios muy por debajo del salario mínimo interprofesional y escasa protección social.
