Published: July 2022

A liderança é a influência que uma pessoa gera sobre as outras. Para métodos mais eficazes de desenvolvimento da competência liderança no ensino de graduação, precisamos ter um diagnóstico da situação atual, traçando o perfil do acadêmico ingressante e concluinte. Para a coleta de dados foi aplicado um questionário adaptado do método LAI (Leadership Assessment Instrument), que avaliam as competências e habilidades sobre o comportamento e performance de líderes. A pesquisa foi aplicada em Março de 2018 com turmas de acadêmicos iniciantes e concluintes do curso de Farmácia. Foi possível observar a avaliação dos acadêmicos iniciantes, tiveram a autoavaliação maior que a avaliação realizada pelos pares e professor, notando que não levaram em conta a sua influência perante os outros; já nos acadêmicos concluintes foram observados valores muito próximos da autoavaliação, avaliação por pares e professores, mostrando que foi levado em conta à habilidade de liderança para os outros acadêmicos.

Authors: Lei Peng , Yu Qingyang , Du Boyu , Xiong Ziwei , Jia Sibo
Published: July 2022

After subject to freeze and thaw cycles, tunnels will be damaged. To figure out such damage and its mechanism, this study carried out freeze-thaw cycle test to simulate the natural environment of tunnels, and took the physical properties of granite rocks sampled from the granite tunnels as the test parameters. In the test, the macroscopic changes of the rock samples before and after freeze-thaw cycles were observed, and the internal damages of the rock samples were analyzed. Then, this paper regarded freeze-thaw cycles as a type of low-cycle fatigue, and defined a damage variable based on the dynamic modulus of elasticity to study the fatigue damage model established for granite tunnels. At last, the comparison of the model simulation results and test results of granite tunnels proved the effectiveness of the proposed model in engineering practice.

Published: July 2022

Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies have been emerged as a fabrication method to obtain engineering components within a short span of time. 3D printing, also referred as additive layer manufacturing technology is one of the powerful methods of rapid prototyping (RP) technique that fabricates three-dimensional engineering components. fused deposition modelling (FDM) is one of the most commonly used additive manufacturing (AM) methods, with applications in modelling, prototyping, and production. Acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS) is a widely used industrial thermoplastic that is also the most commonly used material in FDM technology. Understanding the impact of FDM build settings on material characteristics is essential for predicting the behaviour of ABS components. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of specimen tensile and compressive behaviour on ABS components produced using FDM. The Ultimaker+2 printer is used to create ABS thermoplastic samples for the investigation. The samples are put through their tests using a modified form of ASTM D638 for tensile strength and ASTM D695 for compressive strength. An Instron testing machine is used to put the printed parts to the test. The approach employed was Design of Experiment (DOE). Three primary criteria are used in the plastics experiment: infill density, layer thickness, and infill pattern. We measured the tensile and compressive strengths of zigzag and gyroid specimens, as well as cross specimens. The highest compressive strength at break (25.01 MPa), Young's modulus (2.473 GPa), fracture strength (21.016 MPa), and ultimate tensile stress (23.1 MPa) were all discovered in a sample with 60% infill density, 0.05mm layer thickness, and a GYROID infill pattern.

Authors: Maksimov A. D. , Shustov S. A.
Published: July 2022

A numerical method for thermogasdynamic calculation of low-thrust liquid rocket engines is presented. These engines are used as end organs of the system of space attitude control for nanosatellites and small spacecraft. The method is based on the use of the TERRA software package for thermodynamic calculation and the Ansys CFX software package for gas-dynamic calculation using the Navier-Stokes equations. The results of the thermogasdynamic calculation, as well as the flow pattern of the working fluid in the chamber, are presented. The results of validating the described method are also presented. Its capabilities and limitations are analyzed. The validation procedure is based on the comparison with the results of experimental data on the Reynolds number and the momentum thickness.
Justification of geometric parameters of the engine air particle separator
Authors: Gishvarov A. S. , Rakhimov A. Rh.
Published: July 2022

The Engine Air Particle Separator is considered to be the most important element for maintaining the performance of helicopter engines when operating in dusty air conditions. The intensity of erosion of the elements of the gas-air passage of the gas turbine engine depends on many factors: on the hardness and chemical composition of dust particles, on the fractional composition, sand concentration, engine operating condition etc.Therefore, the development of a method for selecting the optimal values of the Engine Air Particle Separator parameters is a complex multi-criteria and multi-factor task. The present document addresses the selection method of optimal values (geometric dimensions) of the Engine Air Particle Separator parameters in aviation gas turbine engines. The methodology includes six main steps. The choice of optimal values of the Engine Air Particle Separator geometrical parameters is accomplished taking into account three partial criteria for the Engine Air Particle Separator efficiency: the degree of air purification, pressure loss and mass. The Engine Air Particle Separator parameters are selected using the Pareto method. An example of choosing the optimal values of the geometric parameters of a cyclone Engine Air Particle Separator is considered.
Issues of identification of the distribution of sampled data with the limitation of the lower boundary of scattering of the observed values
Authors: Duplyakin Vyacheslav M.
Published: July 2022

Statistical analysis of empirical data is a commonly used approach for research in various fields of science and in applications, including studies of economic processes and critical conditions, but at the same time, there are numerous questions regarding the selection of theoretical distribution laws in general populations that include the sample data being studied. This selection is required for reliable forecasting of risks and reliability because these tasks require the prediction of rather small probabilities or, conversely, the probabilities that approach 1.0. For studying issues with numerical identification of empirical data, a software tool has been developed; it includes drawing of pseudo-random samples from Weibull distribution with a given lower threshold of dispersion, followed by the determination of whether the samples belong to the original distribution or to the normal distribution. A numerical experiment has been carried out with a wide range of variation in the parameters of the considered distributions and using the Pearson's goodness-of-fit test for identification of the sample datas distribution. An analysis of the results of the numerical modeling, which incorporated significant variation of the volume of the samples and their parameters, showed the high probability of false identification of the normal distribution of the sample data, whereas, in fact, the samples were drawn from Weibull distribution with a fixed lower threshold of dispersion.
STRENGTHENING RELIGIOUS MODERATION THROUGH FABLE ACTIVITIES IN EARLY CHILDHOOD
Authors: Azizah Qorina
Published: July 2022

Abstract

The invitation to become enmity and hostile to adherents of other religions and beliefs is phenomenal that strengthens today. Intolerance and radicalism that pursue violence and social conflict are increasingly arbitrary. This hostility occurs in the education section, where teachers and students are faced with issues that are contrary to the values ​​of Pancasila and religious norms. Religious moderation is an effort to instill peace-loving values ​​in students as an effort to de-radicalize religious education, especially Islamic religious education. To achieve it, Islamic religious education is present and participated in it. To explore data through various literature or literature studies, a qualitative descriptive study was conducted to find a picture of reinforcing patterns in natural religious education and to instill a peace-loving attitude in early childhood. This study found that a comprehensive, basic, or deep and ingrained understanding of the concept of peace and non-loyalty about choice but based it basically should be instilled in every child. In an effort to improve the background or related curriculum and commitment to applying a peace-loving attitude, the storytelling method is used in early childhood.

Authors: Milchakova N. A., , Bondareva L. V. , Alexandrov V. V.
Published: July 2022

Aim. To identify land and water areas for inclusion in the regional ecological framework of Sevastopol City and to define the core areas for ensuring the representative character of the nature protection network and the ecological stability of the region.

Material and Methods. Based on field surveys, archival and published data, the structure of the ecological framework of Sevastopol was specified as a part of the Crimean ecological network, developed in 2008. A schematic map of the protected areas and ecological framework elements was developed and calculation of their area carried out using the QGIS‐3.10.10. The index of environmental significance was calculated according to Guryevskikh and a scale for its gradation was suggested. For ecological centres and corridors, the ratio of key areas of the first and second order was analyzed.

Results. The creation of 34 protected areas was proposed and their conservation value was shown. The boundaries of the core areas and 11 structural elements of the ecological framework were specified, its representativeness was characterized and problems of its implementation were discussed. As a result of optimization of the nature protection network of Sevastopol, the share of the protected areas and ecological framework of the total area of the city will be increased to 37.1 and 66%, respectively. A complex of conservational measures has been proposed for the protection of populations and biotopes of rare species included in the Red Data Book of Sevastopol.

Conclusions. The creation of new core areas and the optimisation of the nature conservation network will ensure the maintenance of the sustainability of the ecological framework and the ecological stability of the region but will not make significant changes to the previously formed disproportion due to the impossibility of creating large objects with a high category of protection. The implementation of the ecological framework project will help to reduce the risk of losing the biological and landscape diversity of the region.
Age structure and condition assessment of Fagus orientalis Lipsky in the Caucasian Ecoregion
Authors: Aliev Kh. U.
Published: July 2022

Aim. To determine the age structure and assess the current state of Fagus orientalis Lipsky in the Caucasian Ecoregion.

 Material and Methods. The material was collected in beech forests in different floristic districts of the Caucasian Ecoregion. The registration of individual specimens was carried out on 121 test sites, with a total area of 73925 m2. A total of 19936 individuals of Fagus orientalis were involved in the analysis. Each individual was assessed by condition and assigned to a certain age group.

Results. The study of the age structure of Fagus orientalis in the beech forests of the Caucasian Ecoregion showed a similar pattern of distribution of age group participation in all the studied areas studied. The age spectra revealed are left‐sided and full‐membered where individuals of the pregenerative phase predominate. For all populations, in general, almost the same share of the contribution of individuals of germinal and virginal age groups was noted, amounting to about 50% in total. On average, there are 2906 individuals per 1 ha, of which 459 have reached the generative phase. The condition of individuals of the pre‐generative and generative phases across all the botanical areas of the Caucasian Ecoregion studied was estimated by us at 1.47 points.

Conclusions. The study of the age structure of populations and the assessment of the condition of individuals allows us to assess the influence of certain abiotic and biotic factors. Low values of the proportion of postgenerative individuals are the result of anthropogenic load in easily accessible territories. Under the influence of processes of intra‐ and interspecific competition, the share of participation of virginal and postgenerative groups increases and is especially clearly observed in beech elfin‐woodlands.

Published: July 2022

Aim. To identify the distribution features of a key species of macrophytobenthos in the shallow water zone of Karkinitskiy Bay.

Material and Methods. The field materials from a comprehensive expedition carried out during the summer 2019 were collected and processed by the authors.

Results. For the first time, a map was compiled and the features of the distribution of dominant types of macrophytobentos identified in the shallow water zone of Karkinitskiy Bay.

Conclusion. It was shown that in the eastern part of the bay, on a shallow slope composed of silty‐sandy deposits, adjacent to the accumulative shores, sea grasses dominate and along the abrasive‐clay shores there is no bottom vegetation and significant accumulations of dead leaves of Zostera marina и Z. noltei are typical there. In the water area of the Bakal spit macrophitobentos is not found on the sandy deposits. Cladophora spp. are represented in the base of the western branch of the spit, at the place of its joining an active clayey cliff. Mosaic distribution of bottom vegetation is noted in the area of Cape Kamenniy, where co‐growth of algae on the limestone outcrops and marine herbs living on loose soils is registered. West of Cape Kamenniy in shallow water adjacent to the abrasive limestone coasts Carpodesmia crinite – Treptacantha barbata phytocenoses are characteristic. It was shown that in the composition of macrophytobentos decreased in the role of dominant species, an increase in the proportion of algae found in the areas with increased eutrophication of marine environment, which is probably due to the influence of anthropogenic and natural factors. Monitoring observations in this area will make it possible to develop scientifically based recommendations aimed at optimizing the environmental regime and rational environmental management of the coastal zone of Karkinitskiy Bay.

Aim. In vitro analysis of the inhibitory activity of aqueous extracts of ready‐made tea compositions and their constituent ingredients on SARSCOV‐ 2 replication.

Material and Methods. The laboratory strain SARS‐CoV‐ 2/human/RUS/Nsk‐FRCFTM‐1/2020 was passivated on Vero cell culture. For the preparation of water extracts six types of experimental tea compositions (not containing flavorings) based on black and green tea or flowers of hibiscus as well as individual ingredients were used. Antiviral (inhibitory) activity of plant raw materials was studied in vitro according to the classical scheme of neutralization (inactivation) of the virus.

Results. When compared with the main control sample of an aqueous extract of chaga (Inonotus obliquus) with a 50% effective concentration equal to 13.72±2.99 μg/ml against 103 TCPD50/ml of SARS‐CoV‐2, superior activity was found for extracts of the spice Syzygium aromaticum L. and black tea from Nepal. Approximately equal inhibitory activity was detected for extracts of tea compositions based on black tea with the addition of the grass Thymus altaicus and the spice S. aromaticum L. or with the addition of seeds of Carum carvi L. and the root of Angelica archangelica L. In addition, such activity was detected for extracts of tea compositions based on green tea from China with the addition of leaves of Mentha piperita L. and flowers of Lavandula angustifolia MILL. or with the addition of the peel of Citrus sinensis L. and seeds of Pimpinella anisum L. Extracts from individual plant raw materials used to make tea compositions were black teas from India, Argentina, Vietnam and Sri Lanka, leaves of M. piperita L. and flowers of L. angustifolia MILL. Cetraria islandica lichen, green tea and berries of Oxycoccus also showed antiviral activity.

Conclusion. The results obtained suggest that tea compositions based on black and green tea with the addition of various plant raw materials in the form of a regular drink can be useful to people with COVID‐19 infection.
Możliwości identyfikacji stref rozwoju paleokrasu w rejonie przedgórza Karpat na podstawie danych otworowych i sejsmicznych

Zainteresowanie utworami węglanowymi górnej jury i dolnej kredy występującymi w podłożu zapadliska przedkarpackiego związane jest głównie z licznymi odkryciami złóż węglowodorów. Pułapki złożowe obecne w tym kompleksie charakteryzują się znacznym udziałem porowatości szczelinowej, związanej między innymi z różnymi formami krasowymi (takimi jak kawerny, brekcje krasowe czy szczeliny), rozpoznanymi na podstawie analiz rdzeni i pomiarów geofizyki otworowej. Istotną kwestią, zarówno dla rozwiercania tego typu złóż, jak i prowadzenia dalszych prac poszukiwawczych w tym rejonie, jest szczegółowe rozpoznanie przestrzennego zasięgu stref rozwoju paleokrasu. Zakres wykonanych badań obejmował identyfikację różnych form paleokrasu, przeprowadzoną na podstawie danych otworowych, uzyskanych zarówno podczas wiercenia, jak i eksploatacji złóż, a także na podstawie dostępnych wyników pomiarów upadomierzem sześcioramiennym, sondą akustyczną CAST i skanerem mikroopornościowym XRMI. Interpretację tę powiązano z analizą danych sejsmicznych 3D. Do analizy wykorzystano przede wszystkim atrybuty sejsmiczne, takie jak: RMS Amplitude, Instantaneous Frequency, Relative Acoustic Impedance, Variance, dla których uzyskane obrazy najlepiej korespondowały z wyznaczonymi na podstawie danych otworowych interwałami krasowymi. Obserwowane w zapisie sejsmicznym obniżenia częstotliwości, osłabienia amplitudy czy też nieciągłości i brak uporządkowania refleksów sejsmicznych w interwałach rozwoju paleokrasu powiązać można ze wzrostem absorbcji fali sejsmicznej w obrębie stref o zwiększonym zeszczelinowaniu. Przeprowadzona analiza wykazała, że poszczególne rejony obszaru badań cechuje dosyć zróżnicowany zapis atrybutowy, na co wpływ ma m.in. obecność zalegających powyżej ewaporatów miocenu czy też występowanie reaktywowanych dyslokacji. Na znacznej części obszaru badań anomalny zapis sejsmiczny związany ze wspomnianą serią ewaporatową maskuje rzeczywisty charakter przystropowej partii kompleksu węglanowego górnej jury – dolnej kredy, nie pozwalając na jej szczegółową interpretację. W takim przypadku w obrazie sejsmicznym rozpoznawalne są jedynie interwały krasowe występujące w nieco niższej części profilu utworów jury górnej, rozwinięte najczęściej w obrębie kompleksów biohermowych. Na analizowanym zdjęciu sejsmicznym 3D najwyraźniej zaznaczają się jednak strefy rozwoju paleokrasu rozwinięte w otoczeniu paleodolin, jak również formy paleokrasu ściśle związane ze strefami dyslokacji.
Analiza współczynnika ściśliwości piaskowców o zróżnicowanych parametrach petrofizycznych w zmiennych warunkach ciśnień porowych i nadkładu
Authors:   Instytut Nafty i Gazu – Państwowy Instytut Badawczy, Nowak Krzysztof
Published: July 2022

Współczynnik ściśliwości przestrzeni porowej skał ma duże znaczenie dla szacowania objętości złóż węglowodorów. Próbki przechowywane w magazynach rdzeni ulegają relaksacji (spowodowanej zmianami ciśnienia i temperatury), co prowadzi do zawyżania mierzonej wielkości współczynnika porowatości w porównaniu z rzeczywistymi warunkami złożowymi. Brak uwzględnienia tego typu zmian w szacowaniu objętości złóż węglowodorów może doprowadzić do niewłaściwych wniosków dotyczących wartości złoża. Celem publikacji jest przedstawienie wpływu ciśnień na współczynnik ściśliwości, a także znaczenia tego współczynnika w badaniach nad porowatością. Ze względu na dotychczasowy brak eksperymentalnych badań współczynnika ściśliwości w Polsce celem pracy było również wskazanie możliwych dalszych kierunków badań pozwalających na lepsze poznanie tego zagadnienia. W niniejszym artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań współczynnika ściśliwości dla próbek 14 piaskowców o dobrych parametrach petrofizycznych w różnych ciśnieniach porowych i nadkładu. Analizowane próbki reprezentują piaskowce karpackie (10 próbek) oraz piaskowce dolnej jury Niżu Polskiego (4 próbki). Dla wszystkich próbek oznaczono parametry petrofizyczne, które zostały następnie użyte do sprawdzenia, czy istnieją zależności między nimi a ściśliwością. Badania zmian przestrzeni porowej przeprowadzono na aparacie przystosowanym do pomiarów ściśliwości porowej poprzez zadawanie odpowiednich ciśnień nadkładu i ciśnienia porowego. Pomiary wykonywano dla ciśnienia porowego wynoszącego 300 psi, 1000 psi i 2000 psi przy maksymalnym ciśnieniu nadkładu 7000 psi, a jako medium wypełniającego przestrzeń porową użyto 5-procentowego roztworu NaCl. W wyniku przeprowadzonych badań uzyskano szereg danych dotyczących zmian ściśliwości przestrzeni porowej oraz wyliczono współczynnik ściśliwości Cpc. Wyniki pokazują, że porowatość przeanalizowanych próbek pod wpływem ciśnienia nadkładu zmniejsza się od jednego do kilku procent, a z opracowanych modeli zmian porowatości przy różnych ciśnieniach porowych wynika, że im mniejsza różnica między ciśnieniem nadkładu a porowym, tym mniejsza zmiana porowatości. W artykule wykazano też zależność pomiędzy porowatością a współczynnikiem ściśliwości oraz wskazano kierunek dalszych prac nad tymi zagadnieniami.
Wykorzystanie spektrometrii ICP-MS do badania biokomponentów paliw do pojazdów samochodowych
Authors:   Instytut Nafty i Gazu – Państwowy Instytut Badawczy, Kozak Marek
Published: July 2022

W pracy opisano wykorzystanie techniki ICP-MS do analizy śladowych pierwiastków w biokomponentach paliw do silników samochodowych. Do badań wytypowano dwa rodzaje biokomponentów węglowodorowych do silników o zapłonie samoczynnym, otrzymywanych na drodze hydrokonwersji olejów roślinnych (ang. hydrotreated vegetable oil, HVO), oraz do silników o zapłonie iskrowym, otrzymywanych w technologii EtG (ang. ethanol to gasoline). W próbkach oznaczano pierwiastki: Na, Al, K, Ti, V, Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Ag, Sn, Ba i Pb z wykorzystaniem metody wzorca wewnętrznego z zastosowaniem indu. Poprawność oznaczeń sprawdzono, stosując metodę odzysku. Uzyskano wartości odzysku mieszczące się w przedziale od 99,0% do 136,7%. Najlepszy odzysk uzyskano dla sodu (99,0%) i molibdenu (102,4%), a najgorszy dla baru (136,7%). W przypadku 93,8% wyników wartość odzysku nie przekroczyła 120%. W związku z tym, że oznaczenia wykonywano przy niskim poziomie stężeń analitów (5 μg/kg), otrzymane wartości odzysku uznano za zadowalające. W próbce węglowodorów HVO oznaczono cztery pierwiastki: Al, Cu, Zn i Pb, których średnie stężenia i współczynniki zmienności wyniosły odpowiednio: 1,88 μg/kg (50,9%), 0,87 μg/kg (78,0%), 9,38 μg/kg (11,1%) i 0,81 μg/kg (26,5%). Pozostałe 12 pierwiastków znajdowało się w stężeniach poniżej ich granic oznaczalności. W przypadku analizy próbki węglowodorów do silników o zapłonie iskrowym spośród 16 pierwiastków wybranych w ramach analizy próbki oznaczono tylko sód, glin i cynk – odpowiednio w stężeniach 4,07 μg/kg, 2,81 μg/kg i 46,5 μg/kg. Pozostałe pierwiastki znajdowały się w stężeniach poniżej ich granic oznaczalności. Najbardziej precyzyjne wyniki uzyskano dla sodu – współczynnik zmienności 8,0%, natomiast dla cynku i glinu – odpowiednio 11,1% i 34,2%. Otrzymane wyniki pozwalają wnioskować o możliwości stosowania techniki ICP-MS do analizy tego typu produktów przy zastosowaniu metody wzorca wewnętrznego kompensującego fizyczne efekty interferencyjne.
Strategie rozwoju zagranicznych sieci handlowych w Polsce. Nowe wyzwania marketingowe
Authors: DOMANSKI TOMASZ
Published: July 2022

Celem monografii jest prezentacja strategii rozwoju zagranicznych wielkopowierzchniowych sieci handlowych w Polsce po 1990 r. Polski model transformacji zaowocował niespotykaną — na tle innych krajów regionu — internacjonalizacją handlu. Zagraniczne sieci odegrały jednocześnie ważną rolę w modernizacji polskiego handlu stymulując szereg procesów innowacyjnych. W pracy ukazano strategie i pozycjonowanie wybranych sieci w stosunku do konkurencyjnych formatów hipermarketów oraz sklepów dyskontowych. W opracowaniu wykorzystano szeroko metodę studium przypadku, prezentując strategie wybranych zagranicznych sieci w Polsce i na świecie. Omówiono również wyniki własnych badań empirycznych zrealizowanych w 2021 r. wśród polskich gospodarstw domowych na temat ich zwyczajów zakupów w ulubionych zagranicznych sieciach handlowych. Niniejsza monografia wypełnia lukę badawczą dotyczącą analizy strategii rozwoju zagranicznych sieci handlowych w Polsce na tle szerszych procesów globalizacji handlu. Zarówno w Polsce, jak i za granicą, brakuje ciągle pogłębionych strategicznych studiów przypadku tej grupy przedsiębiorstw. Monografia ukazuje jednocześnie wyzwania strategiczne, przed którymi stają dzisiaj stacjonarne sieci handlowe. Tradycyjny handel wielkopowierzchniowy wymaga obecnie przedefiniowania wcześniej stosowanych strategii. Nowoczesne sieci wielkopowierzchniowe muszą umieć coraz lepiej wykorzystywać kanały online oraz wprowadzać innowacje w zakresie doskonalenia swoich formatów sklepów. Brak lub zbyt wolne wdrażanie koniecznych innowacji może okazać się zagrożeniem dla ich dalszego działania na rynku. Niniejsza monografia dopełnia wcześniejsze prace autora na temat strategii marketingowych dużych sieci handlowych oraz strategii rozwoju handlu.
​Current Status of Nematode-bacteria Interaction: A Mini Review
Authors: Kundu Artha , Vyshali G.
Published: July 2022

Nematodes are the most abundant metazoans on the planet can be found in almost all the ecosystems on earth. They may be free-living, marine, bacterivorous, or parasites of plants and animals, including human beings. Nematodes always interact with other organisms, including- viruses, fungi, protozoa, rickettsia, tardigrades and bacteria in their microbiome. Nematodes are particularly well suited for investigating host associations with bacteria because they have a long history of evolution. Nematode-bacteria interaction is now being used as a model for investigating animal-microbe interaction and can be positive (mutualistic) or negative (pathogenic/parasitic) and may be transient or stably maintained (symbiotic). In any disease complex, nematodes play important roles in association with bacteria to aggravate disease intensity. Bacteria is a potential food source for nematodes and pathogenic to nematodes. Bacterial antagonists are now getting importance as potential biocontrol agents in modern agriculture due to gradual phasing out of chemical nematicides. In addition to trophic and pathogenic interactions, bacteria can serve as mutualists by aiding nematodes in development, defense, reproduction and nutrient acquisition. Furthermore, since many mechanistic aspects of nematode-bacterium interactions are conserved, their study can provide broader insights into other types of associations, including those relevant to plant and human diseases.
Coverage of Science, Technology, and Innovation by Major Broadcast Networks in Nigeria: An Exploratory Survey
Authors: Obot Charles , Batta Herbert , Nda Iniobong , Ekeanyanwu Nnamdi
Published: July 2022

This investigates the nature of reportage accorded Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) matters by the African Independent Television (AIT), Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) and Nigerian Television Authority (NTA). Science communication research is only beginning to feature in Nigeria as a key aspect of academic inquiry. However, science and technology broadcast has been going on for decades. The study aims at knowing the feedback those broadcast media houses have been receiving from the public about the dissemination of emerging science, technology, and innovation matters as well as the perception by the select broadcast houses of the contributions of Nigeria’s science community to specific areas of national development. The study adopts interviews as the instrument of data collection from senior correspondents directly involved with the coverage and reportage of science, technology, and innovation by the selected broadcast houses. The major findings of the research are that not all the broadcast houses have science desks and science correspondents, although all the media houses under study cover STI matters; though in varying degrees and only the NTA has a science correspondent who is a science graduate. Also, both the FRCN and NTA provide extensive coverage of STI matters with dedicated programs and segments for STI on their stations and correspondents covering major STI Agencies and Ministry of Science and Technology Headquarters. It is recommended that broadcast media in the country should show greater commitment to the coverage of STI matters since the majority of audience members depend on the broadcast media for information on all aspects of life. Moreover, a content analysis of news bulletins of the selected broadcast houses and other news media should be conducted to have more data on the coverage of STI matters.
Judges' Legal Culture in Dealing with High Number of Applications for Child Marriage Dispensation during Covid-19 Pandemic at the Kudus Religious Court
Authors: Supriyadi Supriyadi , Siti Suriyati
Published: July 2022

This study aims to explore the judges' legal culture in the Kudus Religious Courts in dealing with the high number of applications for marriage dispensation during the Covid-19 pandemic. Making a decision on a case becomes problematic for judges because they have to make it on their personal considerations. This research was analyzed qualitatively using a constructivism paradigm with a socio-legal research approach based on primary data by interviewing 2 (two) judges, 3 (three) advocates, and 3 (three) applicants for a marriage dispensation. Moreover, it also employed secondary data, including the marriage law, marriage regulation and its implementation, relevant literature, and academic journals. The research findings are: First, the high number was caused by Kudus people’s perception of the minimum legal age of marriage which is based on customary belief, which is maturity in social life, rather than legal regulation which is numerical age. Second, in making a decision about the case, the judges make considerations based on legal facts in the trial court and the values of justice living in the society while paying attention to the Supreme Court rules. Third, the legal culture of judges in deciding the application is making dialogue with some fellow judges while advising applicants to revoke their application.

This research is library researchby using the approach normative juridical, In answering research questions, this study uses mathematical theory maṣlaḥah mursalah. The results of this study indicate that,itthe occurrence of layoffs (PHK) during the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic Judging from the theoretical objectives maṣlaḥah mursalah, The decision taken by the company in terminating the employment relationship has the aim of company efficiency in order to survive is a situation that occurs beyond the ability of both parties (force majeure). So, if analyzed using the theory of maṣlaḥah, this condition is at the level of division of maṣlaḥah Hᾱjiyyat . Because in this case the steps taken by the company in doing layoffs as an effort to avoid themselves from greater harm if the company is not able to survive but this situation does not have a significant impact on the survival of business actors as classified in the level of Hᾱjiyyat.

In this all-digital era, the use of Android devices is no longer just a medium for communication, but on your smartphone device, there are already many applications circulating on the Play store developed by software companies and astronomers that are easy to use to assist you in determining. qibla direction. To fulfill the need for information on the Qibla direction of a place, you have to activate the technology on your smartphone that provides real-world Qibla direction information, namely by using the miqat application. This research is to find out the method of using the miqat application in determining the Qibla direction and knowing how the Qibla direction of the Sultan Mahmud Badarudin Jayo Wikramo mosque and Al-Islam Muhammad Cheng Ho Mosque is using the Miqat application. This research is classified as field research, namely research conducted by direct observation of the object studied in the field, aiming to determine the level of accuracy of the use of the miqat application in determining the Qibla direction. The use of the Miqat application in determining the Qibla direction is a method that is very easy to use wherever you are, but before using the application, it is better if you first calibrate the magnetic compass on your smartphone by shaking the phone so that the needle on the compass is stable. The accuracy of the Qibla direction of the Sultan Mahmud Badarudin Jayo Wikramo Mosque and the Al-Islam Muhammad Cheng Ho Mosque with the Miqat application, that in terms of whether or not this application is accurate, in principle, depends on usage. If used in places that contain metal it will make the magnetic sensor on the compass inaccurate which results in degree deviations on the compass being affected by the magnetic field and the metal around it which will result in a larger deviation of degrees on the compass, this application should be used outside the building because in principle, the compass on the cellular relies on magnetic sensors and GPS on the smartphone itself.

Silent poems was a visual poetic genre practiced in Italy, Spain and their colonies during the 17th and 18th centuries. Being occasional texts, presented at contests and poetry fairs, they were not printed, but handwritten. In the case of New Spain, one of the few representatives of the genre that have been reached so far is Manuel Quiroz Campo Sagrado (ca. 1751-1821). This communication makes a reading of three silent poems contained in the manuscript Afectos tiernos al santísimo sacramento de el Altar. The document is in the Biblioteca Franciscana (Cholula) has recently been included in the author’s bibliography and has not yet been studied by any specialist. The poems are described and analyzed under the precepts of art and ingenuity, present in conceptual baroque poetry, although the case of Campo Sagrado is special, since it is a late representative.
La masculinidad hegemónica dentro de un ambiente represivo: La ciudad y los perros de Mario Vargas Llosa
Authors:   Universidad de Costa Rica, Costa Rica, Mata Li Mariela
Published: July 2022

This article analyzes the construction of the male characters in La ciudad y los perros by Mario Vargas Llosa, a canonical text of Latin American literature, to provide a new reading focused on the discourses of power and sexuality. Thus, it is examined whether the repressive environment of the military school in which the cadets are immersed serves to reinforce gender codes or, on the contrary, to show multiple ways of “being a man”.
Unterschiede in der Wahl des E-Commerce Ausbildungsberufes zwischen Stadt und Land : empirische Evidenz aus einer Befragung bayerischer Absolventinnen und Absolventen
Authors:   , Kneipp Kevin Maximilian
Published: July 2022

In Deutschland liegt eine zunehmende Landflucht vor, was unter anderem mit einem Mangel an hochwertigen Arbeits- und Ausbildungsplätzen begründet werden kann. Eine erste Untersuchung des Autors anhand von Arbeitsmarktdaten zeigt auf, dass ein zukunftsträchtiger digitaler Ausbildungsberuf wie der E-Commerce Kaufmann/frau in ländlichen Gebieten seltener gewählt wird als in Großstädten. Um dieser Entwicklung entgegenzuwirken, will der Autor mit vorliegender Forschung Ursachen ermitteln, warum Jugendliche aus ländlichen Gebieten seltener zu diesem Ausbildungsberuf tendieren. Dazu wird folgende Forschungsfrage gestellt: Welche Faktoren im Berufswahlprozess sind ursächlich für die geringeren Neuabschlüsse des E-Commerce Ausbildungsberufes in ländlichen Gebieten. Um die Forschungsfrage zu beantworten, wurde eine quantitative Studie durchgeführt. Spezifisch wurden aktuelle Berufsschüler in kaufmännischen Berufen aus Stadt und Land anhand mehrerer Kriterien nach ihrer Berufswahl bzw. der Nicht-Wahl des E-Commerce Ausbildungsberufes befragt. Der erste Teil der Studie kann zunächst eine unterschiedliche Wahlhäufigkeit des Ausbildungsberufes in Stadt und Land nachweisen. Der zweite Teil der Studie zeigt auf, dass insbesondere die örtliche Realisierbarkeit in städtischen Gebieten höher ist. Tendenzen, die allerdings keine Signifikanz aufweisen, können auch in der Tätigkeitspassung hinsichtlich digitaler Kompetenzen sowie in der Akzeptanz des sozialen Umfeldes aufgedeckt werden. Weiterführende Forschungen sollten somit noch intensiver auf entscheidende Faktoren des Berufswahlprozesses von Jugendlichen und insbesondere auf Unterschiede zwischen Stadt und Land eingehen, um weiterhin einen qualitativ hochwertigen Ausbildungsmarkt in ländlichen Gegenden zu ermöglichen.
OPERATION FEATURES OF AN ULTRASONIC FLOW TRANSDUCER WITH A COMPLEX TRAJECTORY OF THE MEASURING PATH
Authors: Pysarets Anna , Drachuk Olesya
Published: July 2022

To measure the flowrate of fuel and energy resources, different methods are used, which determine the range of measuring instruments. Instruments based on ultrasonic measurement methods are widely used in measurement practice due to the provision of high accuracy, a wide range of measured flowrates, the absence of additional pressure losses and the design simplicity. Such instruments are easily integrated into automated readout systems for collecting and transmitting information. The asymmetry of the measured medium flow is a significant problem in the use of single-channel ultrasonic meters. This issue is successfully solved by using multi-channel flow transducers.

The disadvantages of multi-channel ultrasonic flow transducers include a significant complication of the hydraulic channel design, the need to use more complex mathematical algorithms for processing the obtained output signal. This requires the use of high performance electronic elements, first of all microprocessors.

The use of a transducer with multiple reflection of one measuring beam from the wall of the measuring path acts as an alternative to multi-channel measurement.

The aim of the work is to create a mathematical model of an ultrasonic flow transducer with a complex measuring path trajectory. For research, a scheme with sounding along three chords was chosen, which implements the time-pulse measurement method, it provides for determining the flow rate by the difference in the time of passage of the measuring path along the flow and against it. In this case, the projections of the chords on the cross section of the measuring section create an equilateral triangle. An analytical expression for the conversion response is obtained for the case of several beam reflections in different planes.

The authors reproduced the hydraulic part of the investigated flow transducer using simulation modeling implemented on the basis of the finite element method. Transducer’s operation simulation in the range of measured flow rates in the conditions of an ideally formed profile of the gas flow velocity in the transducer inlet cross-section has been carried out. The results obtained confirmed the absence of influence of the measuring circuit elements (beam reflectors) on the flow profile and the measuring beam trajectory.

(1) Background: The monkeypox virus (MPV) is a double-stranded DNA virus belonging to the Poxviridae family, Chordopoxvirinae subfamily, and Or-thopoxvirus genu. It was called monkeypox because it was first discovered in monkeys, in a Danish laboratory, in 1958. However, the actual reservoir for MPV is still unknown. (2) Methods & Results: We have reviewed the existing literature on the options for Monkeypox virus. There are three available vaccines for orthopoxviruses: ACAM2000, JYNNEOS, and LC16, with the first being a replicating vaccine and the latter being non or minimally replicating. (3) Conclusions: Smallpox vaccinations previously provided coincidental im-munity to MPV. ACAM2000(a live‐attenuated replicating vaccine) and JYNNEOS (a live‐attenuated, non-replicating vaccine) are two US FDA‐approved vaccines that can prevent monkeypox. However, ACAM2000 may cause serious side effects, including cardiac problems, whereas JYNNEOS is associated with fewer com-plications. The recent outbreaks across the globe have once again highlighted the need for constant monitoring and the development of novel prophylactic and therapeutic modalities. Based on available data, there is still a need to develop an effective and safe new generation of vaccines specific for monkeypox that are killed or mRNA before monkeypox is declared a pandemic.
The Influence of Organizational Justice on the Turnover Intention of Primary and Secondary School Teachers: The Importance of Sustainable Salary Management
Authors: Zhou Houyu , Ma Jianhong
Published: July 2022

Primary and middle school teachers are a critical part of China’s foundational education; teacher turnover heavily affects the stable development of foundational education. In this study, interviews with 20 teachers found that relatively low income, high work pressure, unfair distribution, and difficulty in achieving promotion to higher professional titles are the main reasons for teacher turnover intention. This study investigates 485 primary and middle school teachers from Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces. We found that primary and middle school teachers reported intense feelings of unfairness about their distribution of income. Their salary satisfaction was low, and the ratio of turnover intention was high. The main reasons for teachers’ high turnover intentions were low income, high pressure from work, unfair distribution, and the difficulty of achieving professional title promotion. To lower teachers’ turnover intentions, China should raise teachers’ income appropriately and increase the number of teachers with high professional titles. Schools should improve procedural, distributive, and interactive justice. Teachers should adjust their income references and perceptions of fairness. This situation can be effectively resolved only if all parties work hard to make positive changes.
