Published: June 2024

Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) combustion offers the advantages of high efficiency and low emissions of pollutants. However, ignition timing control and expansion of the stable operation region are issues remaining to be addressed in this combustion process. Detailed analyses of ignition and combustion characteristics are needed to resolve these issues. HCCI combustion of a low octane number fuel is characterized by two-stage heat release attributed to a cool flame and a hot flame, respectively. In this study, spectroscopic techniques were used to investigate the effect of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) on ignition and combustion characteristics using a low octane number fuel, which is apt to give rise to a cool flame. The reaction mechanism of a cool flame produces formaldehyde (HCHO). Measurements were made of spontaneous light emission and absorption at wavelengths corresponding to the light emitted at the time HCHO was produced. The light emission intensity and absorbance measured with the spectroscopic techniques revealed clear differences in the cool flame magnitude depending on changes in the EGR rate. It was found that the cool flame magnitude in the HCCI combustion process varied depending on the EGR rate and thus ignition characteristics differed considerably. An investigation was also made of the respective influence on HCCI combustion of high-temperature internal EGR and low-temperature external EGR. The results indicated that external EGR was more effective for retarding the ignition timing, owing to its larger mass per unit volume than that of internal EGR.

Several techniques facilitate the cooling of air-cooled motorbike engines. Baffle plates, mounted between cooling fins symmetrically with respect to a plane through the axis of the cylinder, maximize the distance that the cooling air follows the cylinder surface before it separates from the cylinder, when the motorbike is in motion. Cooling ports, drilled in the fins parallel to the axis of the cylinder, induce natural convection in the cylinder, when the motorbike is stationary. We produced cylinders with baffle plates between the fins, and with cooling ports, in order to improve cylinder cooling while motorcycles are both moving and stationary. We investigated experimental cylinders with baffle plates, cylinders with fins with cooling ports, and cylinders with both baffle plates and fins with cooling ports, all over a range of air velocities between 0 and 60 km/h. Results indicated that the cylinder with baffle plates was cooler than the cylinder without baffle plates, at air velocities between 20 and 60 km/h. Furthermore, the cylinder with fins with as many cooling ports as possible in the rear was cooler than a cylinder without cooling ports, at all air velocities. Finally, the cylinder with both baffle plates and fins with as many ports as possible in the rear had the greatest improvement in cooling at all air velocities.

Published: June 2024

Experiments of combustion observations and radical measurements in DME compression ignition engine were significant for the elucidation of DME combustion. There have been several reports on combustion observation studies of DME compression ignition engines. All of these reports were experimented with the same method observed due to the bottom view, and none of these studies was targeted on low pressure injection and/or small compression ignition engines.

In this research, the combustion analysis of the small compression ignition engine with DME low pressure injection was attempted by the top view observation using the wide angle view engine scope. As a result, DME combustion using the ordinary diesel engine's piston chamber shape and material was observed. The production of the exhaust elements (OH, CHO, NO) was obtained to the time series on combustion process of the small compression ignition engine with DME low pressure injection.

Index-Matching Technique for Effective Liquid Flow Diagnostics for Internal Combustion Engine
Authors: NISHINO Koichi , CHOI Jang-Woon
Published: June 2024

An effective technique for visualization and measurement of liquid flows in a model of internal combustion engine (ICE) is presented. The technique is based upon the use of index-controlled fluid and transparent plastic models that have the same index of refraction as the fluid. This index-matching method allows unblocked flow visualization of any locations deep inside the model, locations that could not be observed or illuminated by other techniques. This advantage is enhanced by the use of rapid prototyping in which any complex geometry of the model can be fabricated directly and effectively from 3-D CAD data or 3-D surface data of the model. Some applications of this technique combined with PIV technique are presented.

Published: June 2024

Motorcycle configurations, such as CG (center of gravity) location, have come to be fixed to the current ones by trial and error since motorcycle was born. Generally motorcycles' ratio of CG height to wheelbase is relatively higher than four-wheel cars'. We have analyzed the optimal motorcycle CG location with relatively simple formulas, which we have derived to calculate the maximum acceleration with three performance limitations and calculate the maximum speed and the shortest time to run through a course. The results show that the calculated speed is significantly close to actual sport motorcycle's and that the optimal CG locations for various courses are bounded in a certain limited area which is near actual sport motorcycle's.
Le statut politique, social et culturel des langues vernaculaires dans le Duché de Savoie aux XVI et XVII siècles
Authors: Amatuzzi Antonella
Published: June 2024

In this paper, based on several types of documents (legal texts, diplomatic correspondence, literary writings, educational works), I examine how factors external to the language, of various kinds, acting in a complex synergy, had an impact on the geographical development and functional diffusion of the idioms present in the ancient States of Savoy at a time when the vernacular languages were asserting themselves and consolidating. In particular, I focus on the ‘French’ side of the Duchy to show that in these territories the predominance of French in most communicative contexts and the confinement of Franco-Provençal to the sphere of family life and everyday activities depend on political decisions but also on the geographical context and the social and economic fabric: French is the prerogative of the highest classes, who use it carefully and rigorously, distancing themselves not only from Latin tradition but also from regional or dialectal popular culture, while Franco-Provençal remains the prerogative of the most isolated communities and those with more difficulty in accessing education. This divide is visible, on a literary level, by two distinct parallel traditions.
The Influence of French Pragmalinguistic Patterns on the Requestive Style in 16th-Century Scottish Letters
Authors: Elsweiler Christine
Published: June 2024

16th-century Scots was a developing standard variety that was being elaborated to assume new communicative functions hitherto fulfilled by Latin and French – both languages with well-established discourse traditions. The elaboration of Scots happened by adopting these discursive practices into the vernacular, thus innovating new structures and patterns. This study, which focuses on the epistolary discourse tradition, aims to explore to what extent requestive patterns in 16th-century Scots letters were influenced by French pragmalinguistic models. A comparative analysis of French letters in the foreign correspondence of Mary of Lorraine with letters from her Scots correspondence shows that the French requestive models had a clear impact on the Scots requestive repertoire. It further indicates that the discursive practices did not remain static but evolved in the Scots context.

Published: June 2024

There is a need for the use of efficient DNA extraction methods that will yield good quality and quantity of DNA for molecular studies. Several commercial kits are available that are used in place of conventional extraction methods due to cost, speed, and safety. Therefore, the Zymo Research mini plant/seed DNA extraction kit was used to determine the yield and purity of DNA extracts of 86 accessions of Treculia africana varieties. Nanodrop Thermo Scientific™ NanoDrop™ One Microvolume UV-Vis Spectrophotometer was used to determine the quality and quantity of the extracted DNA. The extracted DNA was amplified by a polymerase chain reaction using Internal Transcribed Spacer 1 and 2 (ITS 1 and ITS 2).  The amplicon was run on 1% agarose gel electrophoresis. The concentration (ng/µl) at the A260/280 and A260/230 ratios of the samples were recorded. The concentration and purity values varied among the accessions. The purity at A260/280 ratio ranged from 1.5 to 2.18, obtained from accessions B22 and B43 respectively while A260/230 ratio ranged from 0.93 to 39.56, obtained from accessions C46 – Ab6 respectively. The values derived at the A260/280 ratio and A260/230 ratio were majorly within the acceptable range of 1.8 – 2.0 suggesting that the ZR kit could eliminate contaminants. Thus, further downstream applications such as PCR and sequencing could conveniently be carried out. The suitability and efficiency of using Zymo research mini prep as a DNA extraction kit were revealed on the agarose gel images. Zymo Research DNA extraction kit is appropriate for the extraction of DNA from seeds of Treculia species.

Six senses of the UN Security Council’s interactions with the concept of international responsibility: complicating to contextualise
Authors: Murphy Ben L
Published: June 2024

This article brings into focus the relationship between United Nations Security Council (UNSC) decision-making under Chapter VII of the UN Charter and the concept of international responsibility. Beginning with the very treaty provision that establishes the UNSC’s position at the apex of the UN Charter collective security regime, Article 24(1), which confers on the UNSC ‘primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security’, but also in many other senses, this fundamental concept of international law is central to almost every aspect of the law and practice of the primary political organ of the United Nations. The senses of the UNSC’s responsibility are varied. Each sense of responsibility carries a subtly different meaning and is context-dependent. The author argues that, in traditional accounts, this variety is often overlooked. Either explicitly or more often implicitly, the international legal psyche draws us to a narrower, paradigmatic account of international legal responsibility, one that associates responsibility only with the consequences of a breach of an international obligation. This article aims to complicate and unsettle this approach, to open space for a more context-sensitive perspective on the UNSC’s interactions with the concept of international responsibility.
African Traditional Medicine as a COVID-19 treatment and the South African Government response
Authors: Bhuda Monicca Thulisile , Mdhluli Tsetselelane Decide
Published: June 2024

As South Africa faced the new dawn of COVID-19 pandemic, questions were raised regarding the utilization of African traditional medicine as a treatment of the illness. Madagascar was viewed by African people as a pioneer to regard and declare Artemisia as treatment for COVID-19 and developed products known as Africa following its breakthrough in traditional herbal cure for COVID-19 known as COVID Organics or CVO to be used by their citizens and the rest of African states. In July 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention formed a Regional Expert Committee on Conventional Medicine for COVID-19 in an attempt to enhance research and development of traditional medicines such as CVO, aiming to test traditional therapies and provide independent advice on their safety and efficacy. However, six months after its formation, it appeared that this attempt to regulate has failed to gain traction: None of the proposed remedies progressed beyond phase II clinical trials. Using existing secondary sources such as articles, government documents and media releases, this paper aims to look at the response from South African government on utilization of African Traditional Medicine as COVID-19 treatment. A special attention is given to South African government’s response to the treatment proposed by the state of Madagascar and its way forward towards using traditional medicine as treatment to COVID-19.
Organization of multi-professional teamwork in technology-mediated work environments
Authors: Haapakorpi Arja Tuulikki
Published: June 2024

Multi-professional collaboration is assumed to tackle ambiguous and difficult challenges with innovative teamwork. First, expertise from many fields is needed for solving difficult problems in society and organisations, which emerge from a complicated reality. Second, tasks in working life encompass many fields, meaning that multi-professional expertise is needed. Third, the expertise has to be organised as interactive teamwork for approaching ambiguous questions. However, multi-professional collaboration is challenging, due to different knowledge bases and related working methods of each professional grouping involved, but, with digitalization, multi-professional collaboration could become more commonplace, as the technology-mediated work environment is shared by all professional groupings in the workplace. Technology tends to mainstream working patterns and practices, which could be assumed to reshape professional work and multi-professional collaboration. The article studies how multi-professional teamwork is organised in firms with an advanced technology-mediated work environment in the new media and high-technology industry. The methodological approach is qualitative and three case studies are presented. The outcome of the analysis reveals variations in the patterns of organising multi-professional teamwork, which is related to the function and position of the teams and the rationality of the firm.
Effectiveness of Simplex: the case of Portuguese Social Security
Authors: Tavares António Alberto Nifrário de Pinho
Published: June 2024

Debureaucratization initiatives are usually welcomed due to the anticipation of its benefits. Although such was the case of Simplex, its effectiveness is yet understudied and thus this scientific article aims to make a balance of the implementation of Simplex project. This balance covers both its effectiveness on the specific case of the Portuguese Social Security System as well as its levers and blockages in the ultimate goal of debureaucratize.The scarcity of information about Simplex impact encouraged this exploratory research as well as the methodological option that backed up a qualitative approach. Findings suggest Simplex is much more than deadlines and cost decrease, and improving people’s lives. It is not just information and communication technologies (ICT), administrative simplification and legislative simplification. Simplex has a 360º impact. It is relationship, communication and information.To achieve this, measures must be transversal to Public Administration (PA) and the private sector, demanding participation, transparency and accountability, valuing the human resources, as the best asset, because it is necessary to guarantee equity and generate trust in citizens in order to uphold the image of Social Security. But this also requires working the culture, in its most diverse facets, all with the political commitment.Overall, a suitable number of Key Performance Indicators (KPI) that allow monitoring and the comparability of the results is required as well as identifying constraints and blockages, and implementing corrective measures to reduce the risks of Simplex. In this way can Simplex become a tool of continuous improvement.

Published: June 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented changes in the global economy and society, with many studies attempting to understand the impact of the virus on different countries and industries. This study focuses on the effects of COVID-19 on a consulting company that specializes in technology services. By analyzing the company's sales data for the five-year period before the pandemic, and using machine learning techniques via the KNIME platform, the study aims to predict the sales data for the COVID-19 period. Three different regression models - linear, gradient boosting, and random forest - were used to make these predictions, and the models were compared based on their coefficient of determination (R2) to determine which model performed best. The chosen model was then used to interpret the impact of COVID-19 on the company. The findings of the study provide insights into how COVID-19 has affected the consulting company. The chosen model showed that the pandemic had a significant negative impact on the company's sales, with a sharp decline in the second quarter of 2020. However, the company was able to recover some of its losses by the fourth quarter of the year. The study also highlights the importance of using machine learning techniques to predict future sales data during unpredictable events such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, this study sheds light on the impact of COVID-19 on a technology consulting company and demonstrates the importance of using data analysis and machine learning techniques to make predictions and interpret the effects of significant events on business operations.

Published: June 2024

Important exogenous factors that mutually affect and regulate the annual sexual cycle of lizards, in the ecological context of adaptation, are environmental (rain, temperature, humidity, photoperiod, etc.), structural (vegetation change, food availability, etc.) and social factors (behavioural interaction, experience, etc.), while in some species endogenous (circa-annual) rhythmicity may prevail. Both endogenous and exogenous factors determine the time of hatching in the season providing the highest chances of survival for offspring. Hormonally controlled processes via the hypothalamus- pituitary-gonadal axis produce a cascade of events that determine the reproductive processes involved in reproduction, and can be found in all lizard species. These hormones, in addition to being necessary for successful reproduction and survival of the species, have numerous roles in physiology, metabolism and behaviour. The beginning, duration and end of the breeding season, and the duration of sexual inactivity, differ significantly by species and geographical distribution. Although there is much knowledge about reptile reproduction and its regulation, there are still hidden secrets and specificities in many species that have not yet been discovered or fully explained.

Published: June 2024

Despite the advances in genetic marker identification associated with severe COVID-19, the full genetic characterisation of the disease remains elusive. This study explores imputation in low-coverage whole genome sequencing for a severe COVID-19 patient cohort. We generated a dataset of 79 imputed variant call format files using the GLIMPSE1 tool, each containing an average of 9.5 million single nucleotide variants. Validation revealed a high imputation accuracy (squared Pearson correlation ≈0.97) across sequencing platforms, showcasing GLIMPSE1’s ability to confidently impute variants with minor allele frequencies as low as 2% in individuals with Spanish ancestry. We carried out a comprehensive analysis of the patient cohort, examining hospitalisation and intensive care utilisation, sex and age-based differences, and clinical phenotypes using a standardised set of medical terms developed to characterise severe COVID-19 symptoms. The methods and findings presented here can be leveraged for future genomic projects to gain vital insights into health challenges like COVID-19.

Published: June 2024

The present study aims to evaluate the quality of whole panga skin fillet (Pangasius bocourti) stored on ice for 25 days, using total volatile base and pH values as quality indicators; and physical measurements such as color, water loss during cooking and water retention capacity. 80 specimens of P. bocourti were used and analyzed during the 1st, 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th, 19th, 22nd and 25th day stored on ice, where 10 specimens were Acta of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Cunha et al. (2024), ActaPesca 12(2), 12-22 DOI 10.46732/Actafish.2024.12.2.12-22 13 used for each day. On the 1st day, the fillets presented total volatile nitrogen bases (N-BVT) of 15.65 mgN.100g-1 , which progressively increased and reached 30.10 mgN.100g -1 on the 25th day of storage on ice. The initial pH of P. bocourti fillets was 6.76 (± 0.05) and reached a pH of 6.96 (± 0.09) on the 25th day of storage, presenting organoleptic characteristics unacceptable for human consumption. The fillets initially expressed a reddish and yellowish appearance for the female fillet and redness for the male fillets. The luminosity indicated that the fillets initially had a slightly translucent appearance for female fillets and slightly opaque appearance for male fillets, and at the end of the storage period the fillets were excessively opaque for both sexes. The water retention capacity on the 1st day was 77.83% and 70.16% on the 25th day of storage. The water loss due to initial cooking was 16.9% and 22.9% on the 25th day of storage. However, fresh P. bocourti fillets stored on ice remained suitable for human consumption until the 12th day of storage, with concentrations of total volatile nitrogenous bases (N-BVT) and pH within the limit established by Brazilian legislation.
Jaminan Hak Asasi Manusia Dalam Dinamika Perkembangan Konstitusional
Authors: Syamsu Syamsir , Fahmi M Nur
Published: June 2024

Keberadaan konstitusi begitu penting pada Hak Asasi Manusia dalam pemberian pondasi yang fundamental. Hal ini dikarenakan secara substansial mencantum pengaturan perlindungan HAM bagi seluruh rakyat. Berbagai negara atau hampir seluruh dunia menyatakan pada konstitusinya melalui muatan materi dasar kaidah dan jenjang HAM dengan posisi tertinggi dan menjadi inti daripada penyelenggaraan negara.Dominasi konstitusi secara output akan memberikan produk perundang-undangan atau perubahan yang baru sesuai pergantian rezim yang ada pada bab khusus,sebagaimana yang tercantum pada ketentuan perundang-undangan negara Indonesia melalui amandemen II UUD 1945. Terdapat juga konstitusi yang tidak mengatur dalam bab khusus terkait ranah HAM, melainkan tersebar secara sektoral dalam beberapa bagian pasal. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konsepsi negara yang memenuhi unsur HAM dan konstitusi diibaratkan memiliki 2 sisi mata uang, yang berarti terdapat perbedaan yang bertolak belakang namun saling melengkapi satu sama lain. Dalam transformasi pengaturan Hak Asasi Manusia (HAM) pra dan pasca amandemen dibagi menjadi tiga klasifikasi pembagiaan yaitu terkait generasi HAM pertama kali yang memuat aspek aspek problematika hak hak politik dan sipil, lalu berkenaan dengan hak hak sosial budaya dan ekonomi, dan terakhir mengenai persamaan hak antar warga negara. Terdapat keraguan bahwa rancangan HAM indonesia diperoleh dari adanya adaptasi bangsa indonesia selama ini mencuri dari pemikiran barat yang ditutup dengan adanya amandemen pada Pasal 28J UUD 1945 yang mengatur adanya pembatasan HAM. Oleh karenanya memahami konteks Pasal 28J yang saat itu dikenal dengan muatan pembatasan HAM yang secara absolut memiliki kebebasan yang bersifat individualisme bersamaan dengan berkenaan dengan kewajiban HAM dalam konstitusi Indonesia

READING AS A GENRE IN MODERN THEATER PROCESS
Authors: Serdechnaia Vera V.
Published: June 2024

The article examines the history and characteristics of reading (“chitka”) as an independent genre of theatrical process that arose in Russia in the 1990s as a specific form of representation of the new drama dramatic text. Having emerged as a “poor” version of the performance, the reading genre acquired independence and value in a new meaning, affirming the literary-centric nature of the theater in a new capacity. The article examines the history of the reading genre and characterizes the reasons for the preservation of this genre: these reasons are not only material in nature, but also social, as well as epistemological (the depth of the viewer’s immersion in the text). The most important part of the reading, the discussion of what is read with the viewer, gives the readings the character of an action to create a community. The article also identifies genre differences in readings: intimacy of space, frequent use of non-theatrical spaces, free seating, refusal of external decorative means (music, plastic arts, costumes, scenery), defamiliarization of the actor’s existence, the discussion of what was heard with the audience. The perception of the reading is associated with the activation of the viewer’s imagination, his co-authorship in directing the performance, with obtaining not only an impression, but also a hermeneutical experience. Thus, in the period of post-dramatic theater, reading becomes a form of return to the literary basis of the theater. At the end of the article, the author examines the experience of creating an reading association for the modern drama “Aurora reads” in a Russian city Krasnodar. As a result, the article concludes that reading in the modern theatrical process not only remains an independent genre, but also gives rise to new theatrical traditions. In the regional aspect, readings are very important as a form of creating a community interested in dialogue about modern drama.

Among them there are already established masters such as Ilgiz Zainiev, Aidar Zabbarov, Timur Kulov, Ilsur Kazakbayev, a director from Bashkiria who is actively working in Tatarstan. There are also those who are at the very beginning of their career, but have already attracted attention with interesting productions and projects – Lilia Akhmetzyanova, Bulat Gataullin, Bulat Minkin and others. These young artists are successfully implemented in the multicultural environment of Tatarstan. Ilgiz Zainiev heads the Tatar Puppet Theater “Ekiyat”, working with both its Tatar and Russian troupes. His portfolio includes numerous productions in the Tatar drama theaters of Kazan and other cities of the republic: Almetyevsk, Atnya, Menzelinsk, Naberezhnye Chelny, performances in the Kazan Russian Youth Theater and the Naberezhnye Chelny Puppet Theater.

STEVO ŽIGON AND THE HORIZON OF EXPECTATION OF THE YUGOSLAV PUBLIC DURING THE TUMULTUOUS ‘60S
Authors: Nyagolova Nataliya
Published: June 2024

The article examines the place of the Yugoslav actor and director Stevo Žigon in the context of the 1960s – the period of the first upheavals in the post-war history of the Federation. It traces the main socio-political processes and the reaction to them by the artistic intelligentsia through the emergence of the cinematic Black Wave and the BITEF. The text outlines S. Žigon’s place in the context of these processes, as it focuses on three important roles of his from the 1960s – the role of the judge in Z. Berkovic’s film “Rondo» (1966), the Robespierre’s monologue during the student strike at the University of Belgrade in 1968, the performance “Hamlet» (1971), which Žigon directed, while also playing the main role. The film “Rondo” is considered one of the prime examples of Yugoslav cinema modernism of the 1960s, in which several theatrical approaches were applied (interior shots, leitmotif, the “theatre curtain” effect, etc.). Robespierre’s monologue of the same name, performed by Stevo Žigon during the student strike in Belgrade, is interpreted as a performance composed of three types of elements – «dramatological», «historical» and «performative». Based on theatre reviews from that time, the reception of S. Žigon’s performance “Hamlet” (1971) is analysed as a particular phenomenon in the Belgrade theatre life and as a testimony to the creative evolution of the director and the actor in the course of assimilating the ground-breaking achievements in European directing (H. Litzau, P. Brook). The article concludes that Žigon’s contribution to the development of SFRY’s theatre can be thought of in two directions: the approach of the stage art to the current socio-political reality through performative practices and active experimentations with the theatrical language; the opposition of the “literary theatre» and the use of the achievements of the world’s avant-garde theatre schools of the 1950s and 1960s.

Authors: Masruroh Intan Ratu , Maknun Lu’luil , Maulana Mochammad Royhan , Muhyi Asep Abdul
Published: June 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji konsep-konsep radikalisme dan terorisme dalam Islam melalui pendekatan tafsir Maudhu'i terhadap ayat-ayat Al-Qur'an yang relevan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif-analitis, mengutamakan Al-Qur'an sebagai sumber utama dan literasi dari berbagai sumber sebagai data sekunder. Melalui analisis terhadap ayat-ayat Al-Qur'an, penelitian ini menyoroti makna radikalisme yang terkait dengan kata "ghuluw" dan terorisme yang terkait dengan kata "irhab", serta mencoba untuk menghindari penafsiran yang keliru atas kedua konsep tersebut. Untuk menafsirkan ayat, menggunakan metode penafsiran tematik, yaitu dengan mencari kata yang akan ditafsirkan, kemudian mencari tema yang dimaksud dari ayat tersebut serta menyajikan ayatnya dan terjemahannya serta menuliskan asbabun nuzul dan penafsiran-penafsirannya. Diawali dengan memilih kata dalam Al-Qur’an yang sesuai dengan makna yang mendekati fundamentalisme, kemudian dikaji dan ditelaah menggunakan tafsir Maudhu’i. Penelitian ini menekankan pentingnya pemahaman yang tepat terhadap konteks sejarah dan interpretasi yang benar dalam menangani fenomena radikalisme dan terorisme dalam konteks keagamaan Islam. Dengan demikian, penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi dalam merespons tantangan radikalisme dan terorisme dengan meningkatkan pemahaman umat Islam terhadap ajaran agama.
