Published: November 2023

This paper tried to assess the approaches adopted in online evaluation system during COVID 19 pandemic in higher education. Day to day teaching learning as well as the evaluation system have been significantly affected during the emergency shift of COVID 19. The main objectives of this paper were to study the different practices of evaluation system; its, validity and effectiveness; and institutional preparedness to conduct the whole process of online evaluation. The paper also highlighted the issues and challenges faced by the students during formative and summative evaluation. Self-made online questionnaire was distributed to the college and university students and teachers of West Bengal. Descriptive survey method was used to collect data and simple percentage analysis was used for data analysis. It is found that the system was not ready for the rapid change. Sudden changes made the evaluation system a mess. The summative evaluation followed the same pattern of question papers. Only the pattern of formative evaluation was different. Online media and devices were used rigorously. This emergent shift in evaluation in turn has encouraged students to copy from internet. Unethical issues were present due to the absence of the teachers. That leads to several misconducts and cheating. Higher education institutions followed their own customized system for evaluation. Students’ satisfaction and institutional preparedness were also not up to the mark. It was failed to differentiate between the high and low achievers.

Published: November 2023

This study investigates the corrosion potential of ASTM A-36 steel after slide burnishing using different applied forces. Turned samples of ASTM A-36 steel were subjected to slide burnishing surface treatment. The burnishing process was carried out with forces of 150 N, 300 N, and 450 N, at a travel speed of 100 mm/min. The effects of burnishing on the chemical composition of the material were analyzed using Grazing Incidence X-ray Diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, which indicated no changes in the chemical composition of the material. Corrosion potential measurements were performed using the Tafel test. The results showed that as the burnishing force increased, the corrosion potential shifted to lower values. Additionally, roughness analysis suggested that the change in corrosion potential was attributed to plastic deformation caused by the burnishing process. The increased mechanical work exerted on the material during burnishing may be the underlying reason for the observed shift towards lower corrosion potentials with higher applied forces.

Authors: Pandey Asim , Khanal Kunjan , Jha Anushree , Basnet Prava , Bhattarai Dipesh
Published: November 2023

Chronic lithium toxicity is a potentially serious side effect on patients taking lithium for a prolonged period with the diagnosis of mood disorders. The toxicity is even higher in patients taking drugs that interfere with the metabolism of lithium like angiotensin receptor blockers and in older patients with reduced kidney function. In this report, we present the case of a 62-year-old woman who presented to the emergency department with symptoms including loose stools, generalised body weakness, slurred speech, coarse hand tremors, and dystonia persisting for fifteen days. She had been under lithium therapy for bipolar type 1 disorder for 15 years before experiencing these symptoms, which emerged shortly after the addition of telmisartan (angiotensinogen receptor blocker) for hypertension.
Don’t Look at Us, Look with Us! A Discussion about Multisituated Perceptions on Surrogacy
Authors: Schuh Daniela
Published: November 2023

This paper asks if ethnographic inquiries about surrogacy, the practice in which a woman carries a child for someone else, can be feminist and decolonial in their ethos? It asks this question in the light of the vexed histories of ethnography as a discipline that seeks to know the ‘Other’ and discusses research strategies that ethnographers who study surrogacy developed to overcome ethnography’s colonial and masculinist historical inheritances. In doing so, the paper examines the concept of multisituated ethnography introduced by Kaushik Sunder Rajan. It discusses selected ethnographic studies about surrogacy that chart ways toward a feminist and decolonial ethos. The paper aims to locate different strategies of knowing and representing surrogacy that maintain the Other’s subjectivity and train the imagination to envisage the possibility of acting collectively with the Other.

Decolonisation of Health in Africa: Opinion Piece
Authors: Said Sanaa , Yongolo Nateiya , Biswaro Sanjura , Kelly Clive
Published: November 2023

Access to healthcare is largely dependent on where you live and how much money you have. It is far from equally accessible to all. The National Health Service (NHS) was established in 1948 to improve access to reasonable standards of healthcare to all residents of the United Kingdom (UK) and to ensure that this was free at the point of delivery. The NHS has been described as ‘the envy of the world’ despite the well-documented challenges it faces. The NHS has driven quality and consistency of clinical care within the UK for decades, and along with universities and many other organisations, it has also fostered a reputation for excellent academic research and teaching. However, the long shadow of the UK’s colonial past on health care provision elsewhere is increasingly recognised. Far from producing and sharing its ‘commonwealth’ equally with people inhabiting the countries it colonised, the UK has been accused of exploiting them in a variety of ways. This opinion piece describes and discusses the past and present influence of the UK in African healthcare and offers some examples of practices that might facilitate improved clinical and academic outcomes for all marginalised people in the near future.
Analysis of the Ukrainian legislation on labour protection adaptation to the European Union acts
Authors: Petrovska S. A. , Petrovskyi M. V.
Published: November 2023

The decision of the European Council dated 23 June 2022 to grant Ukraine the status of an EU candidate became a significant incentive for reforms in the country. Reforming labour protection legislation is one of the most urgent tasks for the successful completion of Ukraine’s European integration and for the development of the country’s economy.

The purpose of the article is to study the state of adaptation of Ukrainian legislation in the field of labour protection, in particular, occupational safety and health as well as employees’ health protection, to the legislation of the European Union. To achieve this goal, the general scientific and special scientific methods were used, in particular, dialectical, formal and logical, and comparative legal methods.

The state of implementation of the provisions of the main European directives relating to occupational health and safety in the workplace into Ukrainian legislation is analysed. It has been established that by the beginning of 2023, the provisions of the analysed directives have been implemented only partially, since a significant part of the provisions has not been implemented into Ukrainian labour protection legislation.

On the basis of the study, there have been identified factors that negatively affect the implementation process. Recommendations for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the implementation of EU acts into Ukrainian legislation have been proposed. The adoption of the necessary regulatory legal acts in the field of labour protection to harmonise Ukrainian legislation with the European one has been substantiated.

The process of Ukrainian legislation adaptation to EU norms requires coordinated cooperation between all branches of government for effective work and successful implementation of their rule-making and law enforcement powers in practice. The main focus of the ongoing process of Ukraine's legislative approximation with the EU should not be on the implementation of individual directives, but on the transfer of the overall architecture of EU legislation on health and safety, starting with the alignment with Framework Directive № 89/391/ЄЕС. In order to create a national state legal system that complies with EU norms, it is necessary to simultaneously adapt existing laws and adopt new legislative acts that comply with the European legal framework.
THE RESEARCH ON AN INTER-ORGANIZATIONAL NETWORK STRUCTURE USING GRAPH THEORY TOOLS
Authors: Danylovych-Kropyvnytska Marta
Published: November 2023

In the context of the globalisation of society and the rapid spread of information and computer technologies, the achievement of the goals of individual economic structures is achieved through the formation of a new type of organisational resource by introducing the principles of the network effect and the system of network interaction. The network approach is not reduced to a separate disciplinary area, but claims to be universal and independent. to identify unambiguous attributes that collectively define network interaction. The characteristics of networks are legal autonomy of partners, close connection and mutual influence on the basis of partially formalised or trust-based relationships, establishment of medium- and long-term partnerships, decision-making based on a jointly developed system of internal rules and regulations, taking into account the behavioural patterns and interests of network partners. An inter-organisational network is defined by the links between a certain set of independent organisations (network structure) and their interactions within them (network processes). The structure of network ties and positioning in networks are considered as key properties of network agents. The author's approach proposes to focus not on the agents themselves, regardless of their appearance, motives, norms and values that guide their actions, but on the connections between them in the network, which are studied on the basis of graph theory.The article studies a structure of inter-organisational networks and their new structural features on the basis of graph theory mathematical approaches. Extremum parameters of graphs are used to estimate an optimum number of network members. The aim of the investigation is to apply the mathematical tools of a graph theory to study the basic concepts of a network structure, the justification of the optimal number of network participants and the practical implementation of a network concept. On the basis of theoretical studies using graph theory, proposals for the structure of the network can be formulated, which can be used to stimulate sectoral restructuring and change the technological platform of the national economy.
FORMATION OF SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS: MODELING MECHANISMS IN THE CONTEXT OF STRUCTURAL AND INNOVATION TRANSFORMATIONS
Authors: Yatsenko Valentyna
Published: November 2023

This article aims to explore and model the directions for shaping social responsibility in higher education institutions. The topic is of great relevance in the context of the digital era and structural transformations. The study examines the relationship between digital culture, digital knowledge, the level of digitalization, and the effectiveness of higher education institutions in fostering social responsibility. The research methodology employed a literature review and analysis of scientific studies and data. Based on the findings, a theoretical model was developed to illustrate the interconnection between digital culture, digital knowledge, the level of digitalization, and the quadrangle of responsibility: "Sociability – Economics – Ecology – Digitalization." The article proposes seven hypotheses that reflect the impact of digital culture, digital knowledge, and the level of digitalization on the formation of social responsibility in higher education institutions. The results of the study confirm that the development of digital culture, digital knowledge, and the level of digitalization are crucial factors in shaping social, economic, and ecological responsibility in higher education institutions. Universities that actively embrace digital technologies and cultivate a favorable digital culture contribute to the formation of socially responsible values among students and staff. Moreover, students equipped with digital skills and knowledge are better equipped to address economic challenges and make informed decisions considering social aspects. The application of digital technologies and intelligent ecological solutions also helps reduce the environmental impact of universities and raise environmental awareness among students. The practical significance of this article lies in its provision of concrete hypotheses and methodological approaches that can be applied by higher education institutions to implement social responsibility. The research findings can be valuable for universities and students interested in developing social and ecological values, as well as utilizing digital technologies to achieve these goals. The article contributes to the understanding of how digital culture, digital knowledge, and the level of digitalization play vital roles in shaping responsibility in higher education institutions. Overall, this article sheds light on the complex relationship between digitalization and social responsibility in the context of higher education. It offers valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to foster social responsibility within educational institutions.
Numerical Study on the Migration of Leaked Oil in Submarine Sediment Caused by Pipeline Leakage Using Two-phase Flow Model
Authors: Xiaoli Liu , Shouming Liu , Tianyuan Zheng , Chongqiang Zhu , Dong-Sheng Jeng
Published: November 2023

Oil leakage from submarine pipelines can cause severe environmental problems and economic losses. In this study, a two-phase immiscible flow model in porous media is proposed to simulate the migration of leaked oil caused by the leakage of a buried submarine pipeline in sandy sediment. The relationship between saturation, pore pressure, and relative permeability of different fluids in porous media is considered in present model, which is distinguished from previous studies. The spilled oil spreads radially from the leakage point into surrounding sediment driven by the leakage velocity. Moreover, it continues to migrate in sediment under the capillary pressure and gravity. Interestingly, the effect of wave-induced transient response on the ultimate migration of spilled oil in a sandy sediment is negligible. However, increasing sediment porosity can greatly enhance the upward migration of leaked oil based on systematically parametric analysis. Meanwhile, the migration rate of leaked oil decreases with increasing oil density or viscosity. The oil-contaminated area significantly expands with the increase of leakage rate. Fitting formulas between dimensionless time required for the leaked oil to reach the overlying seawater and non-dimensional influencing parameters are well established, which can provide useful guidelines for similar disasters.
Voice familiarity in an interactive voice-reminders app for elderly care recipients and their family caregivers
Authors: Valdivia Karen Natalie Penaranda
Published: November 2023

This thesis focuses on the effect of voice familiarity in voice reminders between elders and their caregivers. An interactive voice application (for desktops and  smartphones) was created to study these effects. Past work suggests voice familiarity may contribute to higher understanding from the listener and may help boost physical and audiovisual deficiencies [1, 2]. Therein for this study, seniors and their family care providers along with medical providers were consulted for voice application design and improvement opportunities using two user tests with 17 care dyads and 15 medical care providers. Results from qualitative content analysis found that care dyads prefer familiar voice reminders for routine tasks (like taking medication) and generally find caregiver-voiced reminders to be acceptable, while medical care providers have mixed opinions about older adults using recorded reminders.

A New Generalization of Szász-Mirakjan Kantorovich Operators for Better Error Estimation
Authors: BAYTUNÇ Erdem , AKTUĞLU Hüseyin , MAHMUDOV Nazım
Published: November 2023

In this article, we construct a new sequence of Szász-Mirakjan-Kantorovich operators denoted as $K_{n,\gamma}(f;x)$, which depending on a parameter $\gamma$. We prove direct and local approximation properties of $K_{n,\gamma}(f;x)$. We obtain that, if $\gamma>1$, then the operators $K_{n,\gamma}(f;x)$ provide better approximation results than classical case for all $x\in[0,\infty)$. Furthermore, we investigate the approximation results of $K_{n,\gamma}(f;x)$, graphically and numerically. Moreover, we introduce new operators from $K_{n,\gamma}(f;x)$ that preserve affine functions and bivariate case of $K_{n,\gamma}(f;x)$. Then, we study their approximation properties and also illustrate the convergence of these operators comparing with their classical cases.

Authors: Shanahan Doreen E. , Russell Cristel A. , Granados Nelson F.
Published: November 2023

This study contributes to the growing body of research on drivers of participation in the sharing economy. We extend the well-established technology acceptance model and include layers of personality architecture related to the social nature of these markets (extraversion) and their technology intermediation (technology proclivity). Findings from a cross-sectional survey (n = 292) show that extraversion is related directly to the intention to use sharing economy applications, such as in home gig services, and related indirectly to likelihood to use these technologies and to engage as a provider of such services, through technology proclivity and the technology’s perceived usefulness.

High-refractive index plastics are useful materials due to their optical properties, ease of processing, and low-costs compared to their inorganic counterparts. Catalytic carbon disulfide (CS2) copolymerization with epoxides is one method for producing low-cost high refractive index polymers. The reaction is accompanied by an oxygen-sulfur exchange reaction which produces irregular microstructures in the repeating units. In this study, metal salen catalysts were investigated with different metal centers (Al, Cr, Co) and salen ligand electronics, sterics, backbones, and co-catalyst in the copolymerization of CS2 with propylene oxide (PO) and cyclohexene oxide (CHO). The results reveal the essential nature of Cr metal centers on reactivity and the backbone geometry on monomer selectivity. There were no significant impacts on the O-S exchange reaction when ligand design changed, however PO and CHO/CS2 copolymers yield different monothiocarbonate microstructures. Additionally, the effects of microstructure on optical and thermal properties were investigated using spectroscopic ellipsometry and calorimetry, respectively. The CHO system produced high Tg plastics (93°C) with high refractive indexes (n up to 1.64), modest absorbance (κ < 0.020), and Abbe numbers of 32.2 while PO yielded low Tg adhesives (Tg = 9°C) with high refractive indexes (n up to 1.73), low absorbance (κ < 0.005), and low Abbe numbers (VD = 19.1).
Extraction of stratigraphic exposures on visible images using a supervised machine learning technique

Published: November 2023

As volcanic stratigraphy provides important information about volcanic activities, such as the eruption style, duration, magnitude, and their time sequences, its observation and description are fundamental tasks for volcanologists. Since outcrops are often obscured in nature, the first task would be identifying stratigraphic exposures in many cases. This identification/selection process has depended on humans and has difficulties in terms of time and effort consumption and in biases resulting from expertise levels. To address this issue, we present an approach that utilizes supervised machine learning with fine-tuning and forms the backbone to automatically extract the areas of stratigraphic exposures in visible images of volcanic outcrops. This study aimed to develop an automated method for identifying exposed stratigraphy. This method will aid in planning subsequent field investigations and quickly outputting results. We used U-Net and LinkNet, convolutional neural network architectures developed for image segmentation. Our dataset comprised 75 terrestrial outcrop images and their corresponding images with manually masked stratigraphic exposure areas. Aiming to recognize stratigraphic exposures in various situations, the original images include unnecessary objects such as sky and vegetation. Then, we compared 27 models with varying network architectures, hyperparameters, and training techniques. The highest validation accuracy was obtained by the model trained using the U-Net, fine-tuning, and ResNet50 backbone. Some of our trained U-Net and LinkNet models successfully excluded the sky and had difficulties in excluding vegetation, artifacts, and talus. Further surveys of reasonable training settings and network structures for obtaining higher prediction fidelities in lower time and effort costs are necessary. In this study, we demonstrated the usability of image segmentation algorithms in the observation and description of geological outcrops, which are often challenging for non-experts. Such approaches can contribute to passing accumulated knowledge on to future generations. The autonomous detection of stratigraphic exposures could enhance the output from the vast collection of remote sensing images obtained not only on Earth but also on other planetary bodies, such as Mars.

The limestone reservoir of the Da’anzhai section is the main production layer of Jurassic tight oil in central Sichuan, with tight and strongly heterogeneous reservoir rocks. In the early stages, small-scale plug removal and acidification techniques were mainly applied to the dacite section of the reservoir. However, using a single conversion method was not suitable for tight reservoirs with underdeveloped fractures. To address this challenge, we conducted large-scale real-world triaxial simulation test system experiments on hydraulic fracture propagation using samples from dense limestone outcrops. The aim was to elucidate the laws of hydraulic fracture propagation in dense limestone oil reservoirs. The L1 well in this area was selected to test the volumetric fracturing technology in order to achieve a breakthrough in test production and the reconstruction technology of the Da’anzhai section of the tight limestone reservoir. The experiments have shown that low stress differences, natural fracture development, and low viscosity slippery water are favorable factors for obtaining complex fracture morphology. In contrast to the construction parameters, the structural properties of the rock are the dominant factors in the formation of complex fracture morphologies. By optimizing the geological dessert and implementing targeted technological measures, bulk fracturing has been proven to be feasible for the dense limestone reservoir in the Da’anzhai section.
