Students' Beliefs of Integrating Translation with Communicative Language Teaching Approach
Authors: Hasan Arwa Harith
Published: February 2025

Based on the premise that old ideas never die, translation strategies are rooted in the ancient teaching approach, the Grammar Translation Method. This study aims to reveal the university students' beliefs regarding translation as a strategy for achieving success in the learning process, considering variables such as gender (males and females) and colleges (Arts / Basic Education). The study's design is quantitative, collecting data via a questionnaire adopted from Liao (2006). The participants were 200 male and female students from the College of Arts and College of Basic Education from Mustansiriyah University. The results revealed that the students have positive beliefs toward using translation in learning materials in English language, also there is a statistically significant difference between male and female students' beliefs regarding using translation as a strategy to learn English, favoring female students. Additionally, there is no significant difference between students from the College of Arts and the College of Basic Education beliefs in integrating translation strategies with (CLT) Communicative Language Teaching approach . In light of the results, translation strategies have proven to be an effective positive factor influencing the learning of the English language. Despite current instructional approaches that discourage using the first language in learning a foreign language, students still strongly believe that their success is due to using translation, even if it is limited to autonomous learning outside the classroom. Male and female students at both colleges strongly believe in the role of translation in supporting, facilitating, and enhancing learning, including memorizing vocabulary, understanding sentence structure, and reducing anxiety.

The Confucian philosophy of music in the cultural space of globalism
Authors: Zhu Junxi
Published: February 2025

Confucian ideas are deeply rooted in Chinese traditional culture, having played a crucial role in the formation and development of China's traditional musical art. The Confucian philosophy of music has its origins in traditional Chinese Confucian culture. With the development of globalization, this influence has gradually spread throughout the world. Nowadays, there is an active appropriation of musical styles from different countries and regions, forming a diverse world musical culture. Such trends not only pose new challenges to traditional Confucian musical concepts, but also create opportunities and prospects for the actualization of Confucian musical philosophy in the modern cultural space. The article is devoted to the study of the Confucian philosophy of music from the point of view of globalization. Through a comparative analysis of philosophical concepts of music in different cultural contexts, the world significance and value of the Confucian philosophy of music are considered. The author of the article presents the basic concepts and key ideas of Confucian musical philosophy, then analyzes the similarities and differences between the musical ideas of Confucianism and other cultures. In conclusion, the author examines the influence of the Confucian philosophy of music on modern world musical culture, as well as its probable directions of development. The article attempts to rethink the Confucian philosophy of music from the point of view of the mechanisms of globalization, examines its influence and development within the framework of modern musical art. In conclusion, the author argues that Confucian musical philosophy not only served as a guideline for music education in ancient China, but also offers valuable ideas and influences for the modern development of world musical culture, especially in the field of moral education, the transmission of cultural values and intercultural communication.
Time-Reversed Optimal Control-Based Metric for Maneuvering Targets Correlation
Authors: Cipollone Riccardo , Di Lizia Pierluigi
Published: February 2025

Correlation plays a crucial role in maintaining a space object catalog, serving the purpose of determining if a known target produced a particular measurement. Statistical distance-based approaches are not always enough when dealing with controlled objects, leading to alternative correlation metrics that exploit the effort linking the track to candidate orbits. This work describes a novel optical measurement correlation assistance tool, exploiting optimal control theory to backpropagate an admissible region of observables to catalog epochs through a patchwork of Taylor polynomial expansions. The resulting minimum expense distributions are combined with a standard statistical distance to support the correlation of maneuvering objects. A sensitivity analysis on the defined metrics is performed on a set of synthetic scenarios involving impulsive maneuvers, chosen to easily connect the detected expense and effect on the orbit to the features of the control action.
Icing Characteristics of a Wing Behind a Propeller Wake
Authors: Shon Soonho , Hong Yoonpyo , Kim Younghyo , Myong Rho Shin , Yee Kwanjung
Published: February 2025

Propeller-generated wakes create complex aerodynamic interactions that influence ice accretion on aircraft wings, consequently affecting aerodynamic performance. However, the effect of the propeller wake on wing icing characteristics is not well understood. This study clarifies the mechanisms and extent of propeller wake effects on wing icing by comparing the icing characteristics with and without the propeller wake. Three-dimensional quasi-unsteady simulations are employed to capture temporal changes in the droplet field and ice accretion rates caused by local and unsteady propeller wake flows. The computational results provide insights into the icing characteristics induced by aerodynamic interactions. Higher axial velocities enhance droplet impingement and heat convection on the wing. Upwash and downwash change the local effective attack angle, altering droplet impingement limits and the size and intensity of heat convection. The rotation of tip vortices creates droplet voids and dense regions, enhancing heat convection on the inside of the wing tip and leading to noticeable differences in ice formation. Consequently, ice shapes behind the propeller wake are up to 80% thicker and more irregular, leading to twice as severe degradation in aerodynamic performance of the non-wake-induced iced wing. This study highlights the need to consider propeller wake effects in wing icing analysis.
Numerical Investigation on PCM-Based Enclosure: Effect of Pin Height and Count
Authors: Bahoosh Reza , Masser Ashraf Raihan , Saffarian Mohammad Reza
Published: February 2025

One of the challenges in energy storage is the reduced thermal conductivity coefficient of phase-change materials (PCMs), which presents a barrier to efficient energy storage. Fins can be used as thermal conductivity enhancers to help overcome this problem. The PCM is meant to melt by heat transfer from high-temperature water, and this numerical study examined the impacts of pin-fin height and number on the heat transfer rate and melting time. The PCM enclosure had dimensions of [Formula: see text]. It was equipped with four sets containing 21, 35, 49, and 63 cylindrical pin fins, each with a diameter of 10 mm. The fins were arranged at heights of 30, 42, and 56 mm. The material for the pin fins and the plate between the water and PCM on which the pin fins are mounted is St37. The findings show that, compared to the design without fins, installing pin fins at a height of 56 mm and with a count of 63 may enhance the heat transfer rate from water to PCM by 59.65%. Additionally, it decreases the melting time by 36.6% for 1 kg of PCM. Increasing the number of pin fins was shown to reduce the melting time more effectively than increasing the fin height. It was shown that the larger heat transfer surface area and improved natural convection from flow vortices inside the PCM enclosure account for the higher heat transfer rate in designs with pin fins compared to those without.
Minorías étnicas religiosas en la Europa de las naciones [I]
Authors: Fernández Rodríguez José Manuel
Published: February 2025

Esta ponencia versará sobre las diversas minorías étnicas y religiosas que existen, sobre todo, en Europa central y oriental. Para empezar, buscaremos definir las nociones de etnia y minoría. Luego, haremos una breve presentación histórica de los grupos minoritarios religiosos arraigados en los países europeos. A continuación, trataremos la cuestión del derecho a existir de estas minorías y la protección que brinda el derecho europeo e internacional, teniendo en cuenta las implicaciones de los nuevos flujos migratorios provocados por determinados factores transitorios o circunstanciales como, puedes ser las crisis económicas o los conflictos bélicos, que hacen que se dé una mezcla multireligiosa, multiétnica y multicultural donde tienen que convivir entre sí varios grupos religiosos, y a la que están obligados los Estados miembros a proteger y a cobijar. Finalizaremos con una serie pistas en torno a los problemas y a los desafíos que presenta un multiculturalismo no plenamente integrado en los valores y en el estilo de vida europeos y su repercusión en el futuro modelo de convivencia europea, en la que está en juego, quizás, la existencia misma de la Unión Europea.
Koncepcja objawienia w teologii Konrada Rudnickiego
Authors: Wolsza Kazimierz Marek
Published: February 2025

Konrad Rudnicki (1926–2013) był profesorem astronomii na Uniwersytecie Jagiellońskim oraz duchownym Starokatolickiego Kościoła Mariawitów (od 1959). W swych pismach starannie oddzielał astronomię od teologii, natomiast w życiu harmonijnie je łączył. W pracach teologicznych zajmował się m.in. problematyką objawienia Bożego (objawienia biblijnego oraz objawień prywatnych). Opracował nowe wydanie pism założycielki mariawityzmu, Marii Franciszki Kozłowskiej (wydanie krakowskie: 1995). Rudnicki odróżniał trzy typy objawień: zmysłowe, inspiracyjne i umysłowe. Objawienia umysłowe są najbardziej wiarygodne. Do tej kategorii zaliczał objawienia Marii Franciszki Kozłowskiej. Zdaniem Rudnickiego każdy akt objawienia miał miejsce w konkretnym czasie, miejscu i okolicznościach. Objawienie Boże realizuje się w historii powszechnej i partykularnej. Koncepcję objawienia Rudnickiego można zaliczyć do nurtu historiozbawczego.

O uso do RPG como proposta didático-pedagógica para trabalhar o atraso de linguagem infantil
Authors: Cardoso Brayna Conceição dos Santos , Lima Kethellen Monise Rocha
Published: February 2025

O Role-Playing Game (RPG), traduzido como “jogo de interpretação de personagens”, visa a interpretação de personagens em meio a um cenário preestabelecido, estimulando a criatividade e motivando o desenvolvimento cognitivo e linguístico de seus jogadores, por se tratar de um jogo que necessita do cumprimento de regras e da interação entre os participantes. Desta feita, pensou-se no uso do RPG como proposta didático-pedagógica a ser usada em prol ao desenvolvimento linguístico infantil e para se trabalhar o Atraso do Desenvolvimento da Linguagem Infantil (ADL), uma vez que este atraso afeta o desenvolvimento linguístico e cognitivo das crianças, visto que o ADL é considerado como uma disfunção diretamente relacionada à aquisição e desenvolvimento linguístico da criança, englobando o desenvolvimento progressivo tido como ideal para cada idade da criança, evolução de seus domínios linguísticos, capacidade cognitiva, aquisição de fonemas específicos para cada idade, entre outros fatores. O jogo foi elaborado para crianças com idades entre 4 e 5 anos, visando combater o atraso da linguagem infantil, incentivar a criatividade e a imaginação das crianças, assim como desenvolver aspectos ligados à sua cognição, que influenciam diretamente nos aspectos de linguagem, objetivando aguçar o processo de criação de narrativas, as quais são elaboradas valendo-se da memória e sequenciação de fatos que são socializados entre os jogadores. Para realização deste artigo, buscou-se suporte teórico-metodológico nas concepções de Vygotsky (1993); Del Ré (2006); Scarpa (2001); Koch e Cunha-Lima (2007); Pilati (2017); Lucena e Sabini (2005). Para assim poder elaborar o jogo pedagógico, de acordo com a necessidade socioescolar das crianças, visando o fomento da interação social, a maturação dos elementos linguísticos, por meio de jogos ludopedagógicos, e proporcionando possibilidades práticas aos profissionais da área para se trabalhar a dinâmica do ensino-aprendizagem no processo de aquisição da linguagem.

Published: February 2025

OBJECTIVE: To conduct a cost-utility analysis of a group physiotherapy intervention, compared to usual care, for musculoskeletal disorders in Canadian military personnel.

METHODS: One hundred and twenty military members presenting with shoulder, knee, ankle or low back pain were randomized to receive either usual one-on-one physiotherapy care or a group intervention. Cumulative health care costs were prospectively collected over 26 weeks from the perspective of the Canadian Armed Forces. The clinical outcome of the cost-utility analysis was the Quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) estimated by the ED-5Q-5L at baseline, 6, 12 and 26 weeks. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was estimated by the cost difference between interventions (in 2023 CAD dollars) divided by the effect difference.

RESULTS: The mean QALY gain was 0.011 in the group intervention, and 0.010 in the usual care. The average cost for a patient was CA$532 in the group intervention and CA$599 in the usual care. The ICER (-$67 000/QALY) indicated that the group intervention was cost-effective, as it costs less than usual care while providing comparable effectiveness.

CONCLUSION: Group interventions were cost-effective compared to usual care for treating musculoskeletal disorders in military personnel.
Systemic Restructuring of I.A. Bunin’s Poetics in the Early 1900s. Transformation of the Ideological into the Philosophical
Authors: Ponomarev E. R.
Published: February 2025

Purpose. The article examines the previously unexplored mechanism of the systemic restructuring of Ivan A. Bunin’s poetics at the beginning of the 20th century. It is studied at different levels: images interaction, plots structure, subjects of narration. The last one seems to be the most important for understanding Bunin’s quick transition from the narodnichestvo and Tolstoyism ideas (prevailing in his work of the 1890s) to the philosophy close to the early symbolists (determining the poetics of the stories of 1900-1902).

Results. The gradual reduction of traditional ideological motifs associated with narodnichestvo and Tolstoyism – while Tolstoy’s ideologemes remained in the Bunin’s stories longer than narodnik ones – made room for landscape sketches not tied to socially significant subjects, and the narrator’s free reflections on beauty of the world and the incomprehensibility of God’s plan. At the formal level, this manifests in unusual compositional solutions and a new understanding of characters structure. The mechanisms of general change in poetics are shown: from characters to plots, from plots to new ways of formatting ideas within the narrative.

Conclusion. Along with demonstrating the dynamics of Bunin’s creativity and the gradual restructuring of poetics, a number of conclusions have been made that characterize the specifics of Bunin’s “modernity” against the background of early symbolism.
Κορίτζα and παπαδίτζης. On Some Word-Formation and Semantic Features in Erotapokriseis by Peter the Chartophylax (11th Century)
Authors: Anashkin A. V.
Published: February 2025

Purpose. Linguistically, Late Byzantine church canonical erotapokriseis are a type of text influenced by the spoken language. However, their material is not actually presented in existing studies of the grammar and vocabulary of the Byzantine Greek. The article is devoted to the consideration of word formation and semantics of Greek lexemes with the suffix -(ι)τζ-.

Results. The source for this study was the erotapokriseis of Peter the Chartophylax (late 11th century). Revisions of the text contain various syntactic features. However, of greater interest to us are the lexemes κορίτζα and παπαδίτζης found in the text under consideration, from the point of view of their word-formation model. The article deals with the language features of the text in general, as well as word-formation features and semantic properties of the lexemes in particular. A full-corpus search for κορίτζ- and παπαδίτζ- in the TLG database showed that the first of them occurs 51 times in total (with more than half of the cases in variation with the stem κορίτζι-). Its earliest appearance is recorded in the anonymous Vitae Sanctae Mariae (6th century). Turning to the question of the semantics of the lexeme παπαδίτζης which differs from that presented in historical dictionaries, the author of the article clarifies the contextual meaning of this word. The expansion of the semantic field of this lexeme probably occurred under the influence of the nature of the texts of this genre (church canonical epistolography). The article also analyzes the hypotheses of the origin of the formant -(ί)τζ-.

Conclusion. The author comes to the conclusion about possible indigenous Greek or Slavic origin of the formant.
Mystery cults of East Asia
Authors:   I. Kant Baltic State University, Durova Maria ,   Novosibirsk State University (Russia)
Published: February 2025

The Far Eastern tradition included a variety of religious rites and mystical practices, thanks to which people experienced unity with nature and the universe. Unlike the mystery cults of ancient Greece, the goal of these practices was not individual contact with the sacred, but the maintenance of the universal world order and the common good. Apparently, for the entire vast region of East Asia, the idea of harmonious unification with the universe prevailed over the human need to outline the boundaries of one's own individuality. In various forms, this idea was present in most religious and philosophical teachings in the Far East, and the spread of Buddhism contributed significantly to its rooting. The main forms of mystical practices were (pseudo)shamanic rites, ritual dances, as well as practices of individual psychoregulation, which were widespread among Taoists, for example. Shinto rituals of Japan included the experience of direct communication with the deities kami, expressed, among other things, by possession by the divine essence (kamigakari). It can be argued that kamigakari practices occupied a central place in the psychotechnical complex of Shinto, and the main form of religious worship were the mysteries-kagura, reproducing the plots of solar myths. Subsequently, the dances, originally tied to an agricultural ritual, grew into a temple performance and also served as the source of the classical Japanese Noh theater.

Published: February 2025

Very few monuments have survived from the first two (11th–12th) centuries of the art of Islamic geometric ornamentation. The reason for this is the relative fragility of the used materials, and invasions and wars with their destruction. Compared to the previous era, the numerous surviving stone buildings of the 13th century in the Konya Sultanate provide a wealth of material for the study and classification of geometric ornamental patterns, dating back to previous centuries and invented by geometers and architects of that time.
Modus Tollendo Tollens with obligation conditionals: Towards a deontic inheritance logic respecting the Stoic criterion
Authors:   Institute of Humanistic Studies, Research Center on Cognitive Sciences, University of Talca, Talca Campus (Chile), López-Astorga Miguel
Published: February 2025

We know that Modus Tollendo Tollens is a difficult rule to apply. We also know that there are circumstances in which people easily use it. One of those circumstances is whenever the conditional premise is an obligation conditional. On the other hand, the Stoic criterion of the conditional, that is, the proposal Chrysippus of Soli gave for the latter logical connective, has been related to Non-Axiomatic Logic and Inheritance Logic. My aim here is to try to show that obligation conditionals can be deemed as deontic inheritance statements in Non-Axiomatic Logic or Inheritance Logic. I will attempt to argue that it is possible to build a deontic inheritance logic with two essential characteristics. First, it respects the Stoic criterion of the conditional. Second, in consistence with the literature, it leads to the conclusion expected by classical logic when the conditional is an obligation.
Uniting or Separating: The Role of Religious Rituals in Shaping Christian Groups’ Bonding in the 2nd and 3rd century CE
Authors:   Independent researcher, St. Petersburg, Luneva Anna
Published: February 2025

The paper considers the role of religious rituals for the early Christian communities during the second and third centuries CE. The majority of Christians were illiterate, thus at that time rituals might have been as important as the written texts for Christian communities in terms of group bonding and group identity. They were easier to perceive and remember, and more likely to instill a sense of unity within a group. The question is whether these religious rituals united various Christian groups as well or distinguished and separated them from each other. Two Christian rituals are examined: baptism and eucharist, since they are different regarding their frequency and emotional arousal. We can see that the Christian authors paid more attention to the theological grounds of baptism, but practical issues of eucharist, and naturally demonstrated greater diversity in these parts. Moreover, eucharist being a repetitive ritual, seems to have been more important for discriminating “heretics”, i.e., representatives of other Christian groups, who were allegedly performing this ritual “incorrectly”.

Review of Research on Scenarios of Diffusion Combustion of Hydrogen Microjets During Their Interaction with Each Other
Authors: Tambovtsev A. S.
Published: February 2025

This review article presents the results of the analysis of the features of the process of diffusion combustion of hydrogen during its outflow into the air space. The article considers works devoted to the experimental study of the features of diffusion combustion of a single hydrogen microjet depending on the outflow velocity and the ignition method. The results are systematized and expressed in dimensionless Reynolds numbers. The process of diffusion combustion of hydrogen during its outflow from nozzle devices providing independent coaxial air supply is also considered. Experimentally discovered scenarios of diffusion combustion of a hydrogen microjet surrounded by an air flow are considered, and the possibility of stabilizing the process of diffusion combustion of a hydrogen microjet by a coaxial air flow flowing out of a coaxially located annular gap is shown for the first time. The discovered useful effect, which allows maintaining hydrogen combustion under the influence of a water vapor flow, is also considered. The effect of “locking” the combustion process in a narrow cone-shaped region near the nozzle exit is considered during the interaction of hydrogen flowing out of an annular nozzle with a supersonic air jet flowing out of a coaxially located micronozzle. The established conditions and features of the interaction of two single hydrogen microjets are discussed.

Tax Revenues and Inflation Relationship: A Century-Long Application with Fourier-Based Approaches for Türkiye
Authors: Serin Şeref Can , Demir Murat
Published: February 2025

Chronic high inflation periods have several disadvantages for a country’s economy. One of the most significant drawbacks is the erosion of the real value of public revenues. It is impossible to completely isolate the relationship between tax revenues and inflation. Taxes are mandatory monetary obligations collected by the state to finance public services, whereas inflation is an economic phenomenon characterized by sustained increases in the general price level, which impacts the purchasing power of money. Therefore, understanding the relationship between these two concepts is vital for developing an inflation-resilient tax system. In this study, we use Fourier-based novel empirical methods to examine the relationship between total tax revenues and inflation in the Republic of Türkiye from 1924 to 2023. The long-run estimation results indicate that inflation negatively affected tax revenues in the first century of the Republic of Türkiye. Our empirical findings supporting the validity of the Olivera-Tanzi hypothesis highlight the importance of the issue, the policies that can be applied, and their importance in managing tax revenues in an inflationary environment in Türkiye.

This article seeks to explore the connection between solid waste recycling and economic growth through the lens of the circular economy perspective in Turkiye, considering the CO2 productivity index which had been reconstructed by using the PCA method (Principal Component Analysis) utilizing three different variables during the period spanning from 2000Q1 to 2021Q4. The findings revealed that recycling has a negative long-term impact on economic growth, indicating that policymakers should invest in modernizing infrastructure and optimizing logistics, provide financial support through subsidies and incentives, and foster public-private partnerships to enhance recycling's economic benefits. Furthermore, markets should be developed for recycled products with public procurement policies and consumer campaigns, considering the market volatility. Moreover, strengthening regulations, encouraging research and development, and enhancing governance and coordination will ensure effective recycling management and contribute to environmental sustainability and economic growth.

Published: February 2025

Bu çalışmada beş BRICS ülkesinin borsa endeksleri arasındaki kısa ve uzun vadeli frekanslarda zamanla değişen entegrasyon dalgacık dönüşümü ile incelenmiştir. 3 Ocak 2004 ile 29 Aralık 2023 tarihleri arasındaki günlük borsa açılış verileri kullanılarak hisse senetlerinin günlük borsa açılış fiyatlarına dayalı ortalama log-getiri değerleri analiz edilmiş beş BRICS ülkesinin kısa ve uzun vadedeki borsa ilişkileri karşılaştırılmıştır. Bulgular incelenen ülkelerin borsaları arasında kısa vadede düşük korelasyon seviyeleri olduğunu göstermiştir. Ayrıca bu borsaların kısa vadeli şoklara karşı bağımsız hareket etme eğiliminde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Uzun vadede BRICS ülkelerinin borsaları arasında güçlü bir korelasyon olduğu saptanmıştır. Brezilya, Hindistan ve Güney Afrika borsalarının birbirini etkilediği Çin’in ise kısa vadede bağımsız kalmasına rağmen uzun vadede Rusya ile güçlü bir ilişki geliştirdiği ortaya çıkmıştır. Güney Afrika borsasının kırılgan bir yapıya sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Brezilya borsasının Hindistan borsası üzerinde yönlendirici bir etkisi olduğu görülmüştür. Brezilya ve Hindistan borsaları küresel piyasalara daha fazla entegre olurken Rusya ve Çin borsalarının daha bağımsız bir seyir izlediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Analiz sonuçları BRICS ülkeleri borsaları arasında entegrasyonun büyük ölçüde uzun vadede gerçekleştiğini göstermektedir. Elde edilen bulgular, portföy çeşitlendirmesi ve risk yönetimi modellerinin geliştirilmesi için yeni bir perspektif sunmaktadır.

Rendahnya self-acceptance dapat memicu berbagai permasalahan psikologis, termasuk kecemasan sosial dan rendahnya rasa percaya diri, yang berpotensi memperburuk kondisi kesehatan, seperti bromhidrosis yang dapat menyebabkan ketidaknyamanan sosial dan psikologis. Kurangnya penerimaan diri dapat membuat individu lebih rentan terhadap stres dan perasaan malu, yang pada akhirnya dapat memperburuk kondisi bromhidrosis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tingkat penerimaan diri mahasiswa baru Program Studi Bimbingan dan Konseling FKIP Universitas PGRI Yogyakarta serta hubungannya dengan upaya pencegahan bromhidrosis. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan teknik wawancara terhadap mahasiswa baru. Instrumen penelitian berupa pedoman wawancara penerimaan diri dan kondisi Bromhidrosis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa dengan tingkat penerimaan diri yang tinggi lebih mampu mengelola kecemasan sosial dan memiliki strategi koping yang lebih baik dalam menjaga kebersihan diri, sehingga dapat mengurangi risiko bromhidrosis. Sebaliknya, mahasiswa dengan penerimaan diri rendah cenderung memiliki tingkat stres yang lebih tinggi, yang dapat memperburuk kondisi keringat berlebih dan meningkatkan risiko bromhidrosis.Abstrack: Low self-acceptance can trigger various psychological problems, including social anxiety and low self-confidence, which have the potential to worsen health conditions, such as bromhidrosis which can cause social and psychological discomfort. Lack of self-acceptance can make individuals more susceptible to stress and feelings of shame, which can ultimately worsen bromhidrosis. This study aims to analyze the level of self-acceptance of new students in the Guidance and Counseling Study Program, FKIP, Universitas PGRI Yogyakarta and its relationship to bromhidrosis prevention efforts. This research method uses a qualitative approach with interview techniques for new students. The research instrument is in the form of interview guidelines for self-acceptance and Bromhidrosis conditions. The results of the study showed that students with high levels of self-acceptance are better able to manage social anxiety and have better coping strategies in maintaining personal hygiene, thereby reducing the risk of bromhidrosis. Conversely, students with low self-acceptance tend to have higher levels of stress, which can worsen excessive sweating and increase the risk of bromhidrosis.
ДИНАМИКА ПЛОТНОСТИ РЫБ В РУСЛОВОЙ ЯМЕ ПРИ ВЕСЕННЕМ ПАВОДКЕ

Published: February 2025

Гидроакустическим методом установлено, в период весеннего половодья в акваториях русловой зимовальной ямы наблюдается существенная динамика снижения плотности рыб, т.е. снижение данного показателя при росте уровня и температуры воды. Снижение плотности рыб в русловой яме обусловлено их переходом из русловой части реки в пойменную для нагула и нереста. Показано влияние абиотических факторов уровенного и температурного факторов на миграцию рыб из русла в пойму.
МЕЖДИСЦИПЛИНАРНЫЙ ПОДХОД К ДАТИРОВАНИЮ АРХЕОЛОГИЧЕСКИХ КОМПЛЕКСОВ ПОЗДНЕГО БРОНЗОВОГО ВЕКА ЮЖНОГО ПРИУРАЛЬЯ (ПО ДАННЫМ КАЗБУРУНОВСКОГО МИКРОРАЙОНА)

В статье освещаются результаты применения междисциплинарного подхода к датированию памятников срубного и срубно-алакульского типов позд него бронзового века Южного Приуралья (Казбуруновский археологический микрорайон, Республика Башкортостан). Для радиоуглеродного датирования отобран 21 образец из закрытых комплексов Казбуруновского I курганного могильника и объектов на поселениях Усманово-3 и Мурадым-4. Погребальные комплексы про датированы по коллагену корня зуба и коллагену фрагментов компакты бедренной кости, поселенческие – по фрагментам керамики и гумусу из заполнения жилищ и с их полов. Сравнение результатов радиоуглеродного датирования погребальных (кость) и поселенческих материалов (керамика, гумус) продемонстрировало слабую степень сопряженности между собой. Проведены палеоантропологические определения, а также ДНК-анализы костных останков погребенных, позволившие установить степень родства некоторых из них, выявить последовательность совершения погребений и уточнить их относительную датировку.

The paper describes the results of the interdisciplinary approach ap plied to dating of the Late Bronze Age sites of the Srubnaya and Srubnaya-Alakul type in the Southern Urals region (Kazburun archaeological micro-district, Republic of Bash kortostan). A total of 21 samples were selected from closed contexts at the Kazburun I kurgan cemetery and the sites at the Usmanovo-3 and Muradym-4 settlements for radiocarbon dating. The burial assemblages were dated based on the collagen of a dental root and the collagen of fragments of a thighbone substantia compacta, whereas the as semblages from the settlements were dated using ceramic fragments and humus from the dwelling infill and from dwelling floors. The compared results of the radiocarbon dating of the funerary (bone) and settlement materials (ceramics, humus) were found to be weak ly correlated. The study also focused on paleoanthropological determinations, including 416 Н. Б. Щербаков и др. DNA analysis of bone remains of the buried individuals, making it possible to determine the degree of relationship between some of them, identify the sequence of the burials made and clarify their relative chronology.

Formation of stable electrochemical interphases, including solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) and cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) is crucial for developing high performance alkali metal batteries. The stability of SEI/CEI mainly depends on their chemistry and structure. Current studies on SEI/CEI design mainly focus on regulating their chemistry by tuning electrolyte formulations. In this work, we showcase that both the chemistry and structure of SEI/CEI could be readily regulated via a temperature modulated formation strategy. Specifically, pre-charging under heated condition was used to regulate the types and kinetics of electrolyte decomposition reactions, followed by frozen at low-temperature storage to control the deposition behavior of decomposition products on the electrode interface. Studies show that high temperatures pre-charging can affect the coordination structure of Li+ and accelerate the decomposition reaction kinetics, leading to large amount of anion decomposition. The subsequent low-temperature storage rapidly reduces the solubility of decomposition products generated at high temperatures, promoting the deposition of insoluble products on both electrodes, resulting in a dense and stable SEI/CEI. The robust SEI/CEI enables stable cycling of a 4.5 V Li||NCM811 cell in a medium-concentration ether-based electrolyte, achieving a capacity retention of 88.7% after 200 cycles at 0.5C (areal capacity 1.5 mAh cm-2). Even under practical conditions with a high NCM811 areal loading of 4.5 mAh cm-2, the battery maintained over 80% capacity retention after 130 cycles at 0.5C. This study not only offers an economical and efficient approach to enhance the cycling stability of high-voltage lithium metal batteries but, more importantly, provides new insights into strategies for controlling the formation of SEI to improve overall battery performance.
Polyelectrolyte brush at thermal equilibrium: A density functional theory approach
Authors: Edwards Mike
Published: February 2025

The long standing problem of Polyelectrolyte brushes at thermal equilibrium is approached here by using density functional theory (DFT) framework. The results confirm that by increasing the Bjerrum length of the medium, the counterions get absorbed by the brush monomers and they condensate on the monomers, the effect that is known as Manning condensation. Additionally, it turns out that by increasing the Bjerrum Length, the monomers get depleted from the surface, however, the counterions get ac- cumulated around the surface. These two effects could have potential technological applications in biotechnology etc and they show that how Polyelectrolyte brushes re- spond to the variation of the Bjerrum length as a key parameter in the charged systems. Additionally, the equation of state of the Polyelectrolyte brush is calculated for the first time and it turns out that the pressure inside a Polyelectrolyte brush scales as N^{−4} and l_B^{-2}. This finding paves the way for tackling more complex systems.
