A critique of state-centric multilingual education policy proposals in Myanmar
Authors:   University of Edinburgh, Cameron Ewan
Published: September 2024

Myanmar is home to a huge variety of languages and yet they have largely been absent from the state school system. Non-state and para-state organisations have initiated their own education systems with unique calibrations of language in education. In the 2010s, a space for policy reform was created and the UNESCO-supported MTB-MLE program became a policy that gained some support as an alleged workable compromise for speakers of non-state languages in regards to education. MTB-MLE was never fully implemented in Myanmar, yet many of its claims remain problematic as it presumes a monolingual state not amenable to change. This paper argues that MTB-MLE is often built on problematic assumptions about the dominance of state languages and the instrumental use of minority languages. This paper also argues that effective language policy must take into account the need for the state to be more flexible in its approach to multiculturalism.
"A Study To Assess The Anxiety Of Mothers Of Children Admitted In Paediatric Units And The Health Care Trajectories As Perceived By Their Mothers In Selected Private Hospital, Bangalore"
Authors: Easow Tincy Mariam , Dias Dr. Edwin
Published: September 2024

Maternal anxiety is a significant concern in pediatric healthcare settings, affecting both mothers and their hospitalized children. This study’s primary objective was to measure the levels of anxiety experienced by mothers of children admitted to pediatric units in a selected private hospital in Bangalore and to identify the contributing factors and effectiveness of existing support systems. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study sampled 300 mothers for quantitative analysis through structured questionnaires and conducted in-depth interviews with 30 mothers for qualitative insights. Quantitative data analysis included descriptive statistics to measure anxiety levels, multiple regression analysis to identify factors contributing to maternal anxiety, and chi-square tests to examine the relationships between variables. Thematic analysis was used for qualitative data to identify key themes related to mothers’ experiences and perceptions. Quantitative data revealed high levels of anxiety among mothers, with significant variations based on age, marital status, occupation, family income, and area of residence. Thematic analysis of qualitative data identified key factors contributing to anxiety, including inadequate communication, poor coordination of care, and lack of emotional support. Results indicated that coping mechanisms such as emotional support from family and friends, professional ounselling, religious activities, and relaxation techniques were employed with varying effectiveness. Existing support systems, including ounselling services, informational resources, peer support groups, childcare support, and recreational activities, were often perceived as inadequate, highlighting areas for improvement. The findings suggest a significant relationship between maternal anxiety and child health outcomes, underscoring the need for enhanced support systems. The discussion emphasizes the importance of improving communication, care coordination, and providing robust emotional and psychological support to reduce maternal anxiety. In conclusion, addressing maternal anxiety is crucial for better health outcomes in pediatric care. Recommendations include improving communication strategies, enhancing coordination of care, integrating emotional and psychological support services, increasing information availability, and providing better physical support and recreational activities. Implementing these measures can create a more supportive and empathetic healthcare environment, ultimately benefiting both mothers and their hospitalized children.

Članak tematizira nasilje nad redovnicama uzimajući u obzir da je rodni vid toga nasilja zajednički svim ženama, bez obzira na njihov stalež, službu ili zadaću u Crkvi. U prvom poglavlju predstavljena su svjedočanstva i istraživanja kojima se tema nasilja nad redovnicama pokušava detabuizirati. U drugom poglavlju tematizirano je strukturalno i duhovno nasilje jer ti oblici nasilja tvore temelj i okvir svih drugih oblika nasilja i važni su za razumijevanje nasilja nad redovnicama u cjelini. U trećem i četvrtom poglavlju predstavljene su vrste i pojavni oblici nasilja u ženskim redovničkim zajednicama te klerikalnog nasilja nad redovnicama. U zaključku se kao osobiti problemi identificiraju strukture temeljene na asimetriji moći između klerika i laika, žena i muškaraca, poglavarica i članica zajednica kao i nužnost vremenskog ograničenja obnašanja vodećih službi u zajednici i zabrane istodobnog obnašanja više takvih služba. U kontekstu Katoličke Crkve u Hrvatskoj cilj članka je inicirati detabuizaciju i potaknuti istraživanja toga problema kako bi se stvorili programi prevencije i pomoći žrtvama nasilja.
Novi prilozi istraživanju srednjovjekovnog franjevačkog samostana i crkve uznesenja Blažene Djevice Marije u Olovu
Authors: Ratkovčić Rosana
Published: September 2024

Polazeći od kulturno-povijesnog konteksta Olova u srednjem vijeku i povijesti franjevačkog samostana i crkve Uznesenja Blažene Djevice Marije, pokušali smo istražiti mogućnosti interpretacije crteža ulomka izgubljenih zidnih slika koje su se nalazile u kapeli crkve, pronađenih prilikom arheoloških istraživanja 1886. godine. Taj je crtež jedini zabilježeni trag izgubljenih zidnih slika iz crkve uništene 1704. godine, a autor crteža je Ćiro Truhelka, koji je vodio navedena arheološka istraživanja. Crkva je vjerojatno sagrađena već oko 1340. godine, kao jedna od prvih crkava novoosnovane franjevačke Bosanske vikarije, prije izgradnje franjevačkog samostana, koji se prvi put spominje 1375. godine. Potrebu za gradnjom i oslikavanjem crkve povezali smo s prisustvom velikog broja katoličkih doseljenika na području na kojem su starosjedioci većinom pripadnici Crkve bosanske. Na području gdje je Crkva bosanska bila vodeća vjerska zajednica, koja za svoje obrede nije trebala posebne vjerske građevine, vjerojatno nije bilo majstora koji su imali znanja potrebna za gradnju i oslikavanje crkve. S obzirom na čvrste trgovačke i kulturne veze Bosne i Dubrovnika u srednjem vijeku, na vjerojatno djelovanje dubrovačkog majstora na zidnim slikama u Paniku kod Bileće iz prvih desetljeća 12. stoljeća i na dokumentirano djelovanje dubrovačkih majstora u Bosni u 15. stoljeću, pretpostavili smo da su majstori koji su gradili i oslikali olovsku crkvu također došli iz Dubrovnika.
Pedagogical Strategies employed by Literature and Linguistic teachers: A case study in Banke, Nepal
Authors: Adhikary Ramesh Prasad
Published: September 2024

This study aimed to investigate the techniques employed by Literature and Linguistic English teachers in teaching grammar to 11th-grade students and to compare their teaching strategies. The research design adopted a qualitative method, collecting data from four randomly selected public and private schools in the Banke district. Observation checklists and diary writing for classroom observations served as the primary tools for data collection. Thematic analysis was applied to interpret the gathered data.
The results revealed that literature and linguistic teachers predominantly utilized similar techniques. However, linguistic teachers did not employ expected grammar teaching techniques, suggesting that pedagogical competence in grammar has limited utility. Instead, teachers tended to rely on methods that facilitated their teaching process. The study’s findings imply a necessity for additional professional development for English language teachers, particularly in the domain of grammar teaching pedagogy. Furthermore, these results could inform curriculum development and teacher training programs, aiming to enhance grammar instruction and ultimately improve students’ language proficiency.
Cooperación y política internacional: Crítica filosófica de la teoría de la cooperación humana
Authors: Medrano Moisés
Published: September 2024

En el artículo se intenta una crítica – desde la perspectiva de la antropología filosófica – a la idea de la naturaleza cooperativa humana (la “teoría evolutiva de la cooperación humana”), a partir de las ideas y afirmaciones de Michael Tomasello. Se argumenta, por  un lado, que tal idea reduce al ser humano (en su naturaleza) a mera experiencia. Esto conlleva a que la “razón” humana se entienda – en esta perspectiva psicológico-evolutiva – como mera “razón instrumental”; y a que el individuo acepte la coerción del grupo sobre él resignadamente, a fin de que coopere – es decir, como algo “natural”. Esto, a su vez, conlleva a que se utilice la cooperación como forma de sobrevivencia frente a otros grupos, y a que el conflicto intergrupal se haga inevitable. Por otro lado, se argumenta que esta idea sobre la naturaleza cooperativa humana está presente en la “consciencia política contemporánea” de forma predominante (lo cual se ejemplifica con el pensamiento “antropológico” de John Mearsheimer). En contra de esa idea sobre la naturaleza humana, se afirma que el ser humano es fundamentalmente amor yolli: un amor abierto e infinito, siempre atraído por la otredad.
BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON PHOTOVOLTAIC ENERGY PRODUCTION
Authors: Matheus da Fonseca Tinoco de Souza Araújo Nícolas , Abrahão Raphael
Published: September 2024

Higher concentrations of greenhouse gases, resulting from anthropogenic actions associated with energy generation, are one of the causes of climate change. In view of this, several efforts have been undertaken in the search for more sustainable alternatives, and photovoltaic (PV) technology has stood out among the different possibilities. However, PV generation is highly sensitive to future climate variability, which is a source of uncertainty that can complicate energy planning and compromise the viability of systems. This theme has received attention from the academic community, but some challenges to mapping and identifying the relevant literature have been encountered. Therefore, this study was conducted to analyze and identify relevant aspects of international scientific production focused on the impacts of climate change on the potential of photovoltaic production, CC-PVP, through bibliometric techniques. For this purpose, 3900 articles from the Web of Science and Scopus databases, published between 1960 and 2021, were retrieved and analyzed through a bibliometric approach, using the SciMAT v1.1.04 tool. Among the results obtained, it is worth pointing out that the CC-PVP research field has moderate maturity, and it is concentrated in the areas of energy, fuels, and technology, as well as environmental sciences and meteorology. It was concluded that key themes revolve around global energy, forecasting photovoltaic energy production, and electrical energy consumption, especially concerning climate change. Furthermore, it was found that researchers from China, North America, and Australia contribute significantly to this area compared to researchers from other countries.

The editorial of Thermal Engineering of this issue continues the discussion on scientific research needs in vital areas in which thermal engineering has important participation. The main goal is to motivate the readers, within their specialties, to identify possible subjects for their future research. The current global scenario presents a significant increase in energy demand for HVAC-R (heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration) systems. When considering how expensive energy generation can be to most countries and the greater scarcity of natural resources for energy generation, it is necessary to seek viable alternatives with lower energy consumption to the currently used models, without any efficiency loss. Absorption refrigeration and waste incineration systems, for example, can be research lines to be explored, making possible to reduce electrical energy consumption and reduce the environmental impacts of usual compression refrigeration systems. In this context, the exergoeconomic analysis is an essential thermal engineering concept to be applied in refrigeration systems. It comprises principles of heat transfer, fluid mechanics, second law of thermodynamics, optimization and cost analysis.The importance of forestry waste as a sustainable source to mitigate the environmental impacts resulting from the use of fossil fuels has gown recently due to the potential for energy generation from organic solid waste. Furthermore, the abundance of pruned green waste, often improperly discarded, is an underestimated option to improve energy sustainability and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, it reduces the need of physical space for landfill to dispose waste that eventually will contaminate the soil of surrounding areas. The use of these residues for energy generation reduces the need of natural resources exploitation, promoting sustainable development. Like the absorption refrigeration systems, exergoeconomic analysis applied to the use of forestry waste as a source of energy in power plant for generation electric power, is extremely relevant and crucial for sustainable development/energy generation of a country.   The mission of Thermal Engineering is to document the scientific progress in areas related to thermal engineering (e.g., energy, oil and renewable fuels). We are confident that we will continue to receive articles’ submissions that contribute to the progress of science.
THERMAL PERFORMANCE OF MINI FLAT PLATE HEAT PIPES FOR HIGH-POWER CHIPS
Authors: Krambeck Larissa , Guessi Domiciano Kelvin , Barbosa Henriques Mantelli Marcia
Published: September 2024

The waste heat generated by the high-power chips increases their operating temperature, reducing their performance and service life. Flat plate two-phase devices are promising cooling solutions for power electronics. Among them, the thermosyphons and pulsating heat pipes, which respectively promote the fluid circulation by gravity and oscillatory motion of liquid slugs and vapor plugs, are interesting devices to be investigated, as both show excellent heat transfer capacities. In the present work, the thermal performance of a mini flat plate thermosyphon is experimentally investigated and compared with that of a pulsating heat pipe, aiming for the thermal management of waste heat produced by miniaturized high-power chips. Both two-phase devices have the same external dimensions (100 x 55 mm2) and were manufactured by diffusion bonding technology. Distilled water was used as the working fluid. Tested in the same conditions, both operated successfully for the gravity-assisted mode; however, the thermosyphon, the lighter device, was able to transfer more heat. In the horizontal position, the pulsating heat pipe showed excellent thermal performance after the startup, working until high heat loads. In general, it was observed that the PHP became independent of gravity action for heat loads above 100 W.

Published: September 2024

Heat exchangers are devices that aim to improve heat exchange between two fluids at different temperatures, without them mixing. The characteristics that differentiate the types of exchangers are their geometric and constructive shapes, exemplified by the shell and tubes, serpentine, finned, plate, and double tube types, among others. For the present paper, a heat exchanger tube is used, which is connected by thermosyphons to carry out the thermal exchange between the fluids without mixing them. In order to increase the thermal efficiency of the heat exchanger, it is necessary more efficient thermal exchange devices. For this purpose, in this case, we use thermosyphons. The goal of this experimental study is to evaluate the thermal efficiency of the heat exchanger using thermosyphons. In this study, the thermosyphons were manufactured in copper with outer diameter of 9.45mm, an inner diameter of 7.75mm, and a total length of 180mm. The condenser, evaporator, and adiabatic sections all have the same size of 60mm. Three thermosyphons connected the two fluids of the heat exchanger, each one filled with distilled water with a filling ratio of 40% of the evaporator volume and experimentally tested with an angle of 67.5º relative to the horizontal with the surfaces at fixed temperatures (Dirichlet conditions) and the cooling being carried out by convection forced water. The thermal analysis was based on the temperature distribution along the length, the operating temperature, and the thermal resistance. Given the results observed for the thermal resistance, it was possible to find the thermal efficiency of the heat exchanger.

technology develops and the way in which a person lives is improved, services and products become affordable to a greater number of people. The modern times brings not only comfort but also pollution. A lot of attention has been given to greenhouse gas emissions, water pollution, air quality and how their effects can be mitigated and reversed. However, solid waste is also a source of pollution that must be addressed. According to the Unites States Environmental Protection Agency, 292.4 million tons of municipal solid waste was generated in 2018, the equivalent of 4.9 pounds per person per day. According to the same agency, 32.1% of that amount were recycled or composted. Energy recovery from combustion is a process used as one of the waste management strategies. Solid vegetable waste is shown to be a promising source of sustainable energy. Pyrolysis is a process that convert solid vegetable waste into chemicals as for example, crude oil and coal. Forest residues is gaining interest as a bioenergy feedstock that could avoid competition for land, reduce GHG emissions and contribute to meeting the renewable energy targets of the European Renewable Energy Directive. Pyrolysis and energy recovery from combustion is an attractive option for forest residue management in situations where allocating spaces for landfills is challenging and there is need of more efficient methods of generating energy from waste. Recent studies demonstrate that even forest residues with varying level of moisture can be a viable option for power generation using a Rankine cycle with cogeneration, where not only power is delivered but also heat is used in industrial processes. The mission of Thermal Engineering is to document the scientific progress in areas related to thermal engineering (e.g., energy, oil and renewable fuels). We are confident that we will continue to receive articles’ submissions that contribute to the progress of science.
The Effect of Board Composition on Long-Term Firm Performance: NASDAQ versus NYSE
Authors:   Spalding University, Louisville, Kentucky, Van Deventer Ian A.
Published: September 2024

In response to multiple corporate scandals in the closing years of the 20th century, the SEC implemented board-independence requirements in 2003 for companies listed on NASDAQ and NYSE. According to the prior research on principal-agent theory and the effects of board composition on financial performance, increased monitoring and improved oversight mechanisms stemming from board independence enhance the long-term success of publicly traded companies. This study aims to determine whether the 2003 independent-board mandate affected the performance of U.S. companies traded on NASDAQ differently from those traded on NYSE. We expected the more stringent measures adopted for NYSE firms to have a greater effect on long-term firm performance than the less stringent measures adopted for NASDAQ firms. We conducted the study using a sample of 381 U.S. companies traded on NASDAQ and 857 U.S. companies traded on NYSE over the period from 1997 to 2012. We examined the information utilizing a difference-in-difference-in-difference research design and assessed company performance using Tobin’s Q. Our findings indicate that independent boards significantly improved the long-term financial performance of companies listed on NYSE but had no impact on companies traded on NASDAQ. Our contribution to the body of research is the discovery that the 2003 board-independence standards adopted by NASDAQ impacted long-term firm performance differently than those adopted by NYSE. Keywords: board composition, financial performance, firm performance, independent boards, NASDAQ, NYSE, Tobin’s Q

Análise térmica de blocos de concreto: potencial de fissuração devido ao gradiente térmico
Authors: Nardino Cladilson , Machado Roberto Dalledone
Published: September 2024

O artigo examina o comportamento térmico de blocos de concreto, focando no potencial de fissuração decorrente de gradientes térmicos. A hidratação do cimento, uma reação exotérmica, é identificada como a principal fonte de calor que pode provocar variações de temperatura dentro da estrutura. Em elementos de concreto maciços, essa diferença de temperatura entre o núcleo e a superfície pode gerar tensões internas significativas, resultando em fissuras precoces, o que compromete a durabilidade da estrutura. O estudo utiliza modelagem numérica através do método dos elementos finitos (MEF) para prever o desenvolvimento da temperatura em blocos de concreto. Parâmetros como condutividade térmica, calor específico e geração de calor são considerados variáveis ao longo do processo de hidratação. A implementação do modelo térmico é validada com base em dados experimentais de temperatura registrados em blocos de concreto, mostrando que os resultados numéricos são consistentes com as observações experimentais. Por fim, o artigo discute estratégias para mitigar os efeitos dos gradientes térmicos, como o controle da temperatura de concretagem e a utilização de materiais com propriedades térmicas adequadas, a fim de minimizar as tensões térmicas e evitar fissuras que possam comprometer a integridade estrutural.

Common Types of Errors in Generative Artificial Intelligence and Countermeasures: A Case Study of E-C Translation of Chemical Text
Authors: Liu Long , Chen Lizhu
Published: September 2024

With the qualitative analysis method, the paper uses three types of generative AI such as ChatGPT, Claude2, and ERNIE Bot to translate chemical text, aiming to conclude common types of errors committed by generative AI during E-C translation of chemical text and provide some countermeasures. The findings show that common types of errors include five aspects: terminological aspect, lexical aspect, syntactic aspect, discourse aspect, and format aspect. Based on these types of errors, the paper proposes the following countermeasures: (1) Translators can obtain accurate translation of chemical terminology by utilizing the “Method of Suspicion, Searching, Determination, and Expression” and multiple methods. In addition, they can also make use of the terminology database in computer-assisted translation tools like Trados to ensure consistency in the translation of terminology; (2) During the post-editing process, translators can adopt the Communicative Translation Principle to conduct their post-editing. This involves not only modifying content-related errors produced by generative AI but also addressing format issues, with the overarching aim of producing translations that are well-adapted to target readers; (3) For translations that have been modified in the post-editing process, translators can establish translation memory to promptly store corpus, thereby preventing the unnecessary re-translation or post-editing of identical or similar content.

Merleau-Ponty's Aesthetic Thought and Intangible Cultural Heritage Translation Design
Authors: Ge Wenxin
Published: September 2024

This paper explores the intersection of Maurice Merleau-Ponty's aesthetic philosophy and its application in the field of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) design. Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology emphasizes the embodied experience of perception and the inseparability of the subject and the object, offering a unique lens for understanding and valuing ICH. The abstract argues that ICH design, grounded in Merleau-Ponty's aesthetics, can enhance the sensorial engagement and emotional connection with traditional practices, crafts, and performances. It suggests that designers should prioritize the lived experience of ICH bearers and communities, fostering a deeper appreciation and continuation of cultural heritage through innovative and sensitive design interventions. By integrating Merleau-Ponty's ideas into ICH design practices, this approach aims to preserve and promote the richness and diversity of intangible cultural expressions in contemporary society.

By analyzing and comparing the advantages and disadvantages of solar power generation and coal power generation in environment, manufacturing, cost and policy, we explore whether solar power generation can replace coal power generation. It focuses on the advantages of solar power generation in terms of environmental impact, the development of solar power generation promoted by the Chinese government's vigorous implementation of sustainable development strategies, and the many limitations of coal in these aspects, reflecting the advantages of solar energy in today's power generation methods. At the same time, it also analyzes the technological progress of solar power generation, the decline of costs, and the challenges of solar panel recycling. Efficiency has always been the most concerned aspect of solar power generation. Studies have found that the use of different materials, the efficiency of photovoltaic power generation is also different. Increased efficiency is also affected by external temperature, humidity, dust, and light. Solar energy also faces many limitations in this regard. Based on these studies, solar energy has great potential as a renewable energy source and has the potential to replace coal power generation on a large scale by 2060. This essay looks at these studies and concludes that there is potential.

Published: September 2024

This dissertation aims to research how quantum battery work and the comparisons between quantum battery and lithium-ion battery. Lithium-ion batteries are rechargeable energy storage devices that have become widely used in various applications, ranging from portable electronics to electric vehicles. They are known for their high energy density, long cycle life, and relatively low self-discharge rate. Quantum batteries are a relatively new and emerging concept in the field of energy storage. Unlike traditional batteries, which rely on chemical reactions for energy storage, quantum batteries utilize principles from quantum physics to store and release energy. The dissertation uses the available literature review to illustrate the difference between quantum batteries and lithium-ion batteries for storing energy, and which one is better. In terms of current technology, lithium-ion batteries are the best choice for portable charging devices. But in the future, quantum batteries made with advanced technology may replace lithium-ion batteries.

The transport sector has faced a number of challenges in recent years, including a lack of capacity, rising costs and geopolitical instability. However, due to numerous problems there are also great opportunities for the transport sector to adapt to the issues of the modern environment. The challenges of the modern environment for the transport and logistics sector have accelerated the transition to resilience, sustainability and digitization in order to achieve the so-called smart transport and logistics. Despite the relatively high level of development of the transport and logistics industry, the Covid-19 pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine have seriously affected these sectors. Some of the challenges such as the pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine have brought additional costs for logistics and transport, declining demand for passenger travel and high demand for technological innovation. In response to the challenges, the transport and logistics sector has responded by diversifying its supply chains, working with multiple logistics providers, investing in technology and communicating with its customers. The aim of this paper is to analyze the trends and challenges in international transport. As modern trends in international transport are inextricably linked to the global crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine, so is the goal of analyzing their impact on the transport and logistics sector.
