Trends and problems in the sustainable modernisation of residential buildings
Authors: Bucon Robert
Published: December 2024

Sustainable building modernisation is an important step towards reducing the negative environmental impact of buildings, reducing energy consumption in existing residential buildings, creating more comfortable and functional living conditions, and improving their technical condition. Unfortunately, this is a burdensome, time-consuming and costly process that requires difficult decision-making. They must reasonably enable the intended sustainability goals to be achieved. Bearing this in mind, the article presents research on the issue of modernisation residential buildings. The aim is to provide up-to-date knowledge aimed at supporting modernisation decision-making. A study of the literature shows that research on sustainable modernisation of residential buildings is very extensive and unsystematic. Research areas include issues focused primarily on environmental and economic sustainability goals. More and more research is being conducted towards modernisation that takes into account wider social needs. Recent research points to the need to implement more holistic modernisation scenarios that meet a broader set of sustainability goals and criteria and that involve more stakeholders at earlier stages of modernisation. However, achieving sustainable building goals requires decision support for contrasting objectives when selecting optimal modernisation strategies. Therefore, increasingly better and more efficient tools, methods and decision support systems are being developed that provide systematic approaches for carrying out sustainable building modernisations. Building renovation decisions also require the identification and removal of barriers to modernisation and the skilful management of the various types of knowledge in terms of its creation, processing and use, providing the various stakeholders with appropriately processed knowledge during the residential modernisation stage.
Experimental investigation of modified desulfurized gypsum-based concrete permeability performance

Published: December 2024

To comprehend the permeability behavior of modified desulfurized gypsum-based concrete under varying stress conditions, this investigation conducted permeability assessments under both confining pressure and unloading circumstances. The findings suggest that an escalation in confining pressure results in a reduction in the specimen permeability. Conversely, a decrease in confining pressure leads to a gradual increment in permeability, albeit without fully reverting to its initial state. The rise in pore water pressure diminishes the effective confining pressure experienced by the specimen, thereby enhancing the interconnectivity of the internal pore structure and facilitating an increase in permeability. As the confining pressure intensifies, the volumetric strain also increases. Conversely, a reduction in confining pressure corresponds to a decrease in volumetric strain, though it does not return to its initial level. This observation implies that solely the elastic deformation of the specimen can recover as the confining pressure decreases. The internal pore structure distribution of modified desulfurized gypsum-based concrete is predominantly characterized by micropores, with a permeability coefficient in the order of magnitude of 10–17 m2, contributing to its commendable impermeability.
Resistance model for confined circular reinforced concrete columns under eccentric loads
Authors: Lutomirska Marta , Szwed Aleksander , Łuszczynska Aneta Krystyna , Lutomirski Tomasz Andrzej
Published: December 2024

Circular reinforced concrete columns with spiral reinforcement exhibit an increased ductility and resistance due to the confinement effect. Many experimental investigations and theoretical studies related to this topic are focused on columns under axial load, while those for eccentric load are seldom. The scope of the paper is to present a developed calculation model of resistance for eccentrically loaded confined circular concrete columns. The model assumptions extend procedures of the ACI and Eurocode to the confined concrete case. In order to determine the resistance of columns in the form of the force-moment interaction diagrams, a special procedure is elaborated and described in detail. The peak stress and corresponding strain for axially loaded confined concrete is calculated using the Richart’s model. Then, an increase of ultimate strength capacity due to confinement is related to the axial strain level. The more the eccentricity, the less the confinement effect is engaged in the column resistance. The contribution of spiral reinforcement in the bearing capacity is the greatest in concentrically loaded columns and it vanishes at the point where axial strain in the concrete column is equal to zero, which initially governed the beneficial effect of the spiral reinforcement. A sample interaction diagram is obtained for the selected design case and compared with the diagram for unconfined column.
Structure of ADI Cast Iron as a Cast “in situ” Composite Reinforced with TiC Ceramic Particles
Authors: Marosz J. , Kawalec M. , Górny M.
Published: December 2024

This paper presents a novel technology for the production of a casting material, which is an “in situ” composite on an ADI iron matrix reinforced with titanium carbide particles. As a result of the initiated Self-propagating High-temperature Synethesis reaction in Bath (liquid metal) of the type “solid Ti” – “solid C” type, led to the formation of ceramic phases in the form of titanium carbides. This method, allowed the synthesis of a cast composite based on ductile cast iron and, after subsequent heat treatment, the transformation of this material into ADI cast iron. The greatest advantage of “in situ” composites is that they are produced in a one-step metallurgical process, which is characterised, among other things, by: high thermodynamic stability, synthesis of a reinforcing phase in a metal bath, small size of ceramic particles with the possibility of controlling their dimensions by reaction kinetics parameters during the synthesis process. In this study, metallographic analysis of the composite obtained, both in the initial state and after heat treatment, was carried out using optical and scanning electron microscopy. An analysis of the chemical composition in the micro-area was carried out using the EDS method, the chemical composition was studied using the XRF spark X-ray fluorescence method, and the proportion of graphite and the carbide phase, i.e. titanium carbide TiC, was determined. The results obtained confirmed the possibility of obtaining the composite material via the SHSB reaction route. The heat treatment results showed that the carbides are thermodynamically stable and do not dissolve at temperatures designed for the production of ADI cast iron. The SHSB reaction guarantees a uniform distribution of titanium carbides on the ADI cast iron matrix.
Coal research trends – a bibliometric approach
Authors: Misiak Jacek , Uliasz-Misiak Barbara
Published: December 2024

Coal is a cheap and accessible source of energy. However, the environmental costs associated with its exploitation and combustion are increasing. Burning coal generates large amounts of carbon dioxide. A gas that is a major contributor to global climate change. Coal is a raw material used in various technologies (from energy to medicine) and is also the subject of scientific research. The directions for its use change over time. By tracing research trends related to coal, new research directions can be identified. Bibliometric analysis is used for this purpose, using a variety of data pertaining to scientific publications observed with the development of science. This method makes it possible to analyse networks of research, national and international, and to identify the internal logic of scientific development. This article aims to analyse research topics related to the word “coal” in the period covering 1950–2023. The article presents an analysis of publications indexed in the SCOPUS database. Publications that contained phrases related to search phrases containing the word “COAL” in the title, abstract, or keywords were included in the analysis. The dynamics of changes in the interest of coal researchers in subject areas, research areas, and countries were presented. On this basis, an attempt was made to identify future leading research topics related to coal and to identify limitations and barriers to the development of this research topic.
The effect of coal mine closures on worker migration in Poland: an input-output analysis
Authors: Pepłowska Monika
Published: December 2024

Closing coal mines in Poland is an important part of the energy transition aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and meeting climate commitments. These decisions are particularly important in mining regions such as Silesia, where the mining industry is the main pillar of the economy. Given the gradual closure of mines and the reduction of employment in the mining sector, there is a need to analyse the migration of workers and their potential adaptation to the labour market. This paper aims to examine the impact of mine closures on the employment structure of the national economy using the input-output method. The analysis includes a decomposition of input-output tables (TPMD), in which branches such as thermal coal, coking coal, and lignite were distinguished. This has made it possible to precisely track economic flows between subsectors of the economy and identify which sectors are most vulnerable to the negative effects of reduced coal mining in Poland. The analysis also shows how a change in coal mining may affect related sectors such as energy, transport, and steel, increasing the need for structural adjustments. In particular, the article focuses on possible scenarios for the migration of workers from the closing mines and their re-deployment. Various coal reduction (WR) variants are considered, including WR25%, WR50%, WR75%, and WR100%, reflecting scenarios of declining domestic production. The paper also considers the possible substitution of domestic coal with imported raw materials (WS). The article concludes by identifying the most important conclusions.
Transformations of diatomite components and changesin its technical properties caused by calcination at different temperatures – a case study of the Jawornik deposit, Poland
Authors: Figarska-Warchoł Beata , Rembiś Marek
Published: December 2024

Diatomite rocks from the eastern part of the Polish outer Carpathians come in several varieties with different colour, compactness, amount of clay and sandy substance as well as the degree of silicification. One of them is dark grey blocky diatomite, present in the Jawornik deposit and characterised by average quality. During the tests, it was thermally calcined at temperatures from 300°C to 1,200°C in order to improve its functional properties. The results of observations regarding the changes that the rock and its components underwent under conditions of increasing temperature were presented. The results of thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction and tests of physical properties (i.e. density, water absorption and Vickers microhardness) of the rock were presented. Detailed observations of the rock’s mineral components were made using a scanning microscope. Their physical changes (e.g. cracks or signs of melting) and chemical transformations were described. It has been shown that during calcination, irreversible changes occur in the mineral composition and structure of diatomite. It was proven that for the discussed diatomite the optimal calcination temperature is 900°C, as it ensures the greatest increase in its open porosity by 11% and an almost threefold increase in its hardness. The chemical composition of diatomite also changes due to the combustion of the organic matter present in it and the resulting relative increase in the 1,200 content. Calcination improves the technological features of this variety of diatomite, making it similar to the best quality varieties found in this deposit.
Ambiwalencje międzypokoleniowe w Polsce: wyzwania relacyjne w starzejącym się społeczeństwie
Authors: Romanowska Magdalena
Published: December 2024

Artykuł podejmuje problematykę relacji międzypokoleniowych pomiędzy jednostkami z dwóch oddalonych od siebie kohort wiekowych w kontekście polaryzacji społecznej związanej ze starzeniem się społeczeństwa w Polsce. Podstawą analizy jest materiał zebrany techniką indywidualnych wywiadów pogłębionych przeprowadzonych w Warszawie w 2023 roku z młodymi osobami (16–20 lat) i seniorami (68–80 lat). Podejście pokoleniowe przyjęte na potrzeby niniejszego tekstu ma na celu ukazanie narracji obu kohort w kontekście – z jednej strony – postrzegania potencjalnych konfliktów międzypokoleniowych, a z drugiej – potencjału i podstaw budowania solidarności międzypokoleniowej. W analizie danych wypracowano koncepcję ambiwalencji pokoleniowej, gdyż kategoria ta, czerpiąca z socjologicznego pojęcia ambiwalencji w ujęciu generacyjnym, pozwala uchwycić sprzeczności w relacjach pomiędzy członkami różnych pokoleń i ich przejawy w interakcjach. Dzięki temu pokazano, jak koncepcję ambiwalencji można zastosować w celu lepszego zrozumienia relacji międzypokoleniowych we współczesnej Polsce.
Recent developments in the Evaluation of the Performance of Vineyard Sprayers
Authors: Douzals Jean-Paul , Naud Olivier , Codis Sebastien , Verges Adrien , Verpont Florence
Published: December 2024

Vines are perennial crops that appear sensitive to various diseases and insects with a subsequent number of spray applications per year. In general, biological efficacy is strongly linked to the spray quantity and quality, assuming that non-intercepted droplets may lead to ground or atmospheric losses. This paper corresponds to a synthetic review focusing on need for generic methodology to assess vineyard sprayer deposition performance. Indeed, the deposition of droplets in a 3D canopy is a complex phenomenon that encompasses a wide range of variability that limits the capability for evaluating and for comparing field tests. Different levels of crop variability were identified among the cultivar, the development stage and the training strategy leading to a highly variable leaf area index over time. Other sources of variability depend on the sprayer technology where the air assistance and droplet emitters play a key role. Assuming the difficulties in the comparison of sprayers directly through field tests, the rationale for a fair and replicable comparison of sprayer deposition performance was developed by the joint unit UMT Ecotech between INRAE and associated technical institutes for vines (IFV) and fruit crops (CTIFL). An original methodology to assess sprayer deposition capability was developed based on an artificial vineyard whereas the potential spray drift of the complete sprayer is evaluated using an artificial wind generator. These test benches are now used in a purpose of official classification by French authorities.

Measurement of absorbed dose in water in brachytherapy
Authors: Pawłowski Piotr , Szymko Magdalena , Wołowiec Paweł , Braziewicz Janusz
Published: December 2024

Introduction: The most commonly used method for measuring the activity of sources in brachytherapy involves well chambers, which are utilized to measure air kerma. Brachytherapy centers are required to employ the TG-43 algorithm, which calculates the dose distribution in water. Transitioning from air to water introduces uncertainties. The objective of this study is to develop a new method for measuring the absorbed dose in water for 192Ir radiation.

Material and Methods: A prototype ionization chamber was used in this study. To determine the absorbed dose in water measured by this chamber, the definition of absorbed dose in water was applied directly. Perturbation factors were calculated using Monte Carlo simulations, while correction factors were derived from measurements taken with the ionization chamber. A water phantom was created, along with a positioning system for the ionization chamber and a holder for the source. Corrections were calculated for polarization, recombination, saturation, and the effects of pressure and temperature on the chamber signal were taken into account. Measurements were performed at the position of the maximum chamber signal, determined before each measurement, and repeated for various air kerma values and different sources.

Results: The measurement results in water were compared to those obtained from the TG-43 algorithm. Results indicate a combined measurement uncertainty of 1.26%, representing a significant improvement over the well chamber measurements.

Conclusion: Preliminary results indicate the potential for improving dosimetric accuracy in brachytherapy. By using values for absorbed dose in water, uncertainties associated with converting air kerma to dose distribution in water can be eliminated.
Representation of the Female Body as a Substance of Contemporary Ornamentation in Metal Jewelry
Authors: Widiyanti Dhyani
Published: December 2024

This study explores the role of surrealism in metal jewelry design as it pertains to the representation of the female body. The research focuses on the works of three contemporary metal jewelry artists from Etsy, examining how their creations utilize surrealism to express experiences of castration and fetishism, as theorized by Freud. It investigates the interplay between functionality and unconventional forms, highlighting how surrealism allows for a critique of traditional gender norms and a subversion of established visual conventions. By employing literature studies and visual analysis, the research demonstrates how these surrealist elements in metal jewelry serve as a medium for expressing complex narratives about femininity, identity, and bodily autonomy. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how surrealism can be a powerful tool in challenging and reinterpreting conventional representations of the female body in contemporary art.
Derived Heuristics for Academic Integrity Enculturation – an Actor-Network Theory Perspective of Automated Plagiarism Management
Authors: Grobler Mohini Meghan
Published: December 2024

Objective: This study examines the efficacy of enculturation of academic integrity, in the context of an automated student plagiarism management system (ASPMS) at a private higher education institution (PHEI) to provide heuristics for related endeavours.
 
Theoretical Framework: In this topic, the main theory underpinning the research is the Actor-Network Theory (ANT).
 
Method: The methodology adopted for this research comprises a mixed approach, incorporating both qualitative thematic analysis of transcripts of interviews with human actors and quantitative analyses of data gathered from the ASPMS.
 
Results and Discussion:  A nuanced, gestalt-like composition of ANT relationships emerged, from which many meaningful heuristics could be derived for both enhancing, and avoiding pitfalls in, enculturation of academic integrity. The ANT perspective allows for the essential roles of human and non-human actors in the network to be assessed for efficacy in achieving the objectives of the network. Overarching heuristics include ongoing cyclic-iterative refinement of the automated system; the underpinning regulatory framework and related organisational structures; and the education/training of human actors.
 
Research Implications: Incorporating automation in academic integrity measures, allows for the delegation of onerous tasks to non-human actors in the system. Notwithstanding, acknowledged disruptors in this evolving context, such as the advent of Large-Language Model Artificial Intelligence (LLM-AI) tools (notably, Chat-GPT), increasingly confound the detection and assessment of plagiarism. Advancing heuristics towards designing systems for enculturating academic integrity– and for concomitant evaluation of the efficacy of such actor networks (as per ANT) – comprises the major implications of this study.
 
Originality/Value: While this study involves a relatively esoteric context – a case study involving a bespoke ASPMS at a single PHEI campus in South Africa – the heuristics have application in many systems (actor networks), with or without automation, in which academic integrity is fostered.

Published: December 2024

Objectives: This study sought to analyze the trends of heat waves and droughts in Northeastern Brazil and their impacts on agricultural production of sugarcane, corn and soybeans, with emphasis on water scarcity.
 
Theoretical Framework: It was based on studies about climate change and its effects on agriculture, highlighting indices such as the SPI and CTX90pct for the analysis of drought and heat waves.
 
Method: The standard precipitation index (SPI) and regression models were used to correlate climate data with time series of agricultural production, as well as descriptive statistical analyzes.
 
Results and Discussion: We identified periods of extreme drought, increased frequency of heat waves, and significant falls in agricultural productivity. Technological practices, such as advanced irrigation, have shown promise in mitigating these impacts.
 
Implications of Research: It contributes to the understanding of the relations between climate change and agriculture, assisting in the formulation of adaptation and mitigation strategies.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by the originality of its research, either by the innovative approach in the integrated analysis of heat waves and droughts in the Northeast of Brazil, or by the new discoveries related to the correlation between extreme climatic events and agricultural productivity. The relevance and value of this research is evidenced by demonstrating that the adoption of advanced irrigation technologies can mitigate the impacts of climate change on the production of sugarcane, corn and soybeans, offering subsidies for the development of adaptive strategies and greater sustainability in agriculture in the region.
Prozodia zapisu w tekstach z pogranicza wiersza wolnego i prozy
Authors: Pietras Wojciech
Published: December 2024

W poszerzonym rozumieniu termin prozodii zapisu może służyć do opisu graficznej organizacji m.in. utworów z pogranicza wiersza wolnego i prozy. Prozodia zapisu, niezależna od triady proza–wiersz–tekst graficzny, staje się zbiorem parametrów każdego zapisanego tekstu. Analiza typograficzna pozwala opisać te właściwości przez pryzmat stopnia ciągłości tekstu oraz dwóch głównych parametrów determinujących tę właściwość: toku i toru lektury. Z kolei parametry te są wypadkową elementów, które można ulokować na trzech poziomach graficznej organizacji tekstu: wewnątrzwyrazowym, międzywyrazowym oraz na poziomie całego akapitu.
Kaskada Jerzego Żuławskiego w perspektywie tradycji wiersza wizualnego
Authors: Dembińska-Pawelec Joanna
Published: December 2024

Jerzy Żuławski jest autorem zapomnianego wiersza wizualnego o nazwie kaskada. W tomie poetyckim Intermezzo (1897) poeta zamieścił cykl dziewięciu utworów o powtarzalnej formie zatytułowany Z „Kaskad”. Artykuł omawia poetykę formy kaskady i analizuje ją w perspektywie tradycji poezji wizualnej (technopaegnium). W 1897 roku ukazał się także poemat typograficzny Stéphane’a Mallarmégo Rzut kośćmi nigdy nie zniesie przypadku. Czas opublikowania obu utworów przypada na przełom „modernizmu pisma”. Szkic ukazuje paralele ich form i nowatorstwo typograficznego zapisu.
Złamany kod poezji
Authors: Korwin-Piotrowska Dorota
Published: December 2024

Artykuł ukazuje dwa utwory, z których jeden jest powieścią i jednocześnie haiku (Imperium chmur Jacka Dukaja), a drugi zbiorem wierszy nazwanych w podtytule powieścią (Szczelinami. Powieść Wita Szostaka). Oba przedstawione eksperymenty otwierają wiele pytań dotyczących statusu poezji i wiersza dziś – m.in. dotyczących tego, czym jest poetycki idiom, czy granica między wierszem a prozą jest jeszcze istotna, jaki status ma fikcja w wierszu, jak traktować podmiotowy, konstrukcyjny i stylistyczny „falsyfikat”. Autorka szczegółowo analizuje obydwa przykłady, wskazując, że każdy z tych pisarzy inaczej wykorzystuje „kod poezji”, ale obydwaj go w jakiś sposób „łamią”, tj. odkrywają, deszyfrują i po części demistyfikują.
Dlaczego wierszem?
Authors: Gorczyńska Małgorzata
Published: December 2024

Przedmiotem rozważań są dwa wierszowane poematy epickie Tomasza Różyckiego: Dwanaście stacji (2004) i Ijasz (2021). Oba były początkowo pisane prozą, a dopiero później podzielone na długie, asylabiczne linijki wierszowe. Autorkę artykułu interesują motywacje tej decyzji i jej estetyczne efekty. Po odpowiedź na pytanie: „Dlaczego wierszem?” zwraca się nie tylko do profesjonalnego literaturoznawstwa, przede wszystkim do wersologii, uwzględnia również czytelniczą i pisarską praxis, rekonstruowaną m.in. na podstawie autokomentarzy Różyckiego.

Wiersz – synestezyjny byt?
Authors: Tryksza Anna
Published: December 2024

Inspiracją dla tego artykułu stały się deklaracje dotyczące sensu, roli, znaczenia wiersza wyrażone przez Kamilę Janiak w wywiadzie przeprowadzonym przez Monikę Lubińską. Poetka stwierdza, iż: „Dla mnie poezja, wiersze powinny być muzyką, obrazem, zapachem, fakturą – w jednym. W wierszu powinno być już wszystko. Dla mnie wiersz jest samodzielnym bytem”. Deklaratywnie przynajmniej tak ma wyglądać Kamili Janiak teoria wiersza. Nie jest to koncept nowy, jeśli idzie o synestezyjne wartości utworu poetyckiego (poetyka barokowa, romantyczna czy młodopolska były tym rysem naznaczone). Natomiast w odniesieniu do twórczości współczesnej poetki młodego pokolenia interesująca może być realizacja wierszowego kompletnego bytu w wariancie tzw. Janiakowego „wkurwu” (Jakub Skurtys, Paweł Kaczmarski), społecznego zaangażowania (podkreślają ten aspekt właściwie wszyscy badacze), przetwarzania różnych języków popkultury (Alina Świeściak), wiersza współpracującego z obrazem i muzyką. Artykuł jest spojrzeniem na ową mikroteorię wiersza, to zadanie pytania o to, jaką rolę w tej synestezyjnej koncepcji odgrywa forma wierszowa, jak współtworzy z grafikami ilustrującymi kolejne tomiki Kamili Janiak, z jej muzyczną działalnością w zespołach punkowych – ów wierszowy synestezyjny byt.
Principle of the Verse Segmentation
Authors: Kulawik Adam
Published: December 2024

This article is a translation of a part of a collective book published in 1984, which forms the foundations of the prosodic theory of verse, an original research project that was further developed into an independent theory of verse in several books. The paper explores the theoretical framework and principles underlying the segmentation of verse, distinguishing it from prose, argues that traditional verse theory has struggled to define and analyze verse effectively due to its reliance on metrics. The author proposes a redefinition of verse, emphasizing the role of prosodic segmentation, and verse-pause as its foundation.Verse is redefined as a distinct method of text segmentation characterized by arbitrary pauses that create verses. Unlike prose, where segmentation is dictated by syntax and logic, verse segmentation introduces an expressive, nonsyntactical structure motivated by arbitral verse‑pauses. This definition separates the concept of verse from that of literature, of poetry, prose, and artism, allowing for a more flexible and inclusive understanding of the phenomenon of verse.
Free Verse – Theory and Method
Authors: Lilja Eva
Published: December 2024

A tension between cognitive factors and cultural conventions constitutes poetic rhythm. Rhythm is formed when reading adjusts the sounds of a poem, and versification means repetitions, caesuras, tactus, prolongations, and so on. This paper presents some prerequisites for investigating free verse using the theory of cognitive versification. Free verse has emerged from the most prestigious historical patterns possible – Greek poetry, the Bible, and the Edda songs. Aesthetic rhythm can be classified according to three principles: serial, sequential, and dynamic rhythm, which are the three basic sets of gestalt qualities. Poetic rhythm uses three time levels that coincide with body rhythms – half a second (a tactus, the pulse), about three seconds (a line, short-term memory), and more than three seconds (semantic coherence, long-term memory). Lineation covers the short-term memory interval and promotes a digital reading that simultaneously keeps one line’s overall meaning in mind. It might explain some of the poetry’s magic. We demonstrate how free rhythms work in a poem by Lawrence Ferlinghetti.

Internet addiction and network identity: features of development in student youth
Authors: Besschetnova Ol'ga , Tsyglakova Elena , Vikulov Alexey
Published: December 2024

The purpose of the study is to detect the level of Internet addiction in student youth, identify the features of network identity formation, and substantiate the relationship between personality traits and addictive behavior. The paper reports on the results of an empirical study of pedagogical university students (n=248) utilizing a battery of diagnostic techniques and secondary analysis. The results show a moderate level of Internet addiction in most surveyed students and confirm its association with personality traits – extroversion/introversion, neuroticism and psychoticism, manipulative behavior, openness to experience, a situational attitude to norms and values to achieve one's goals, approval of one's actions by reference users of the social network, and the formation of one's image and Internet reputation. Among the causes of Internet addiction are the lack of time management, the uncontrollability of online staying; psychological dependence; the unwillingness to interrupt other activities and deliberate avoidance; and verbal aggression in case of inability to use online resources. Authors conclude that targeted secondary prevention programs, such as educational interventions and awareness activities, can effectively reduce Internet addiction and its associated risks among university students, as evidenced by improvements in network identity metrics and lower addiction levels during the control stage.

Authors: Jayadi Suparman , Adabiyah Radiyatun
Published: December 2024

This research examines the cultural and religious interactions between Muslim and Hindu communities in Makam Medana, North Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara. Using a qualitative method with a case study approach, data was collected through direct observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis with Fritjof Schuon's theory of social esotericism used as the basis for analysis. The results show that the Medana Tomb serves as an important space for social harmony, where both communities engage in shared spiritual and cultural practices. Through inner experiences that transcend religious, cultural and social boundaries, the tomb serves as a bridge that connects different religions through a universal understanding of divine truth that manifests in different outward forms. These interactions facilitate mutual understanding and respect, and contribute to the formation of an inclusive and harmonious society in North Lombok. This research concludes that Makam Medana offers a model of social harmony that is relevant in a multicultural context.

On the Issue of Lyrical Compositions by I. A. Bunin “The Life of Arseniev” and “Eugene Onegin”
Authors:   Institute of Philology of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences Novosibirsk, Russian Federation, Kapinos E.V.
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this article is to describe I. Bunin’s novel “The Life of Arseniev” as a lyrical
structure. Using the method of motif analysis, numerous series of thematic, plot, motivic repeats were revealed in the text. Motivic repeats in prose text are a kind of analogue of rhyme
in poetry, they increase the structure and coherence of the text, and in addition, the chapters of
Bunin’s novel have, like stanzas in a poetic work, a closed look. Motivic reprise in Bunin’s
lyrical prose prevails over the plot logic, over the development of the plot, which is especially
clearly traced in the endings of the chapters and bools of the novel. Before the novel was published as a separate book, Bunin published it chapter by chapter. Similarly, first chapter by
chapter, and then as a separate book, Pushkin published “Onegin”. This method of publication
is due to the lyrical composition of the texts, which allows changing the way of arranging its
individual parts and even including them in the text or excluding them from it.
Thus, in “Onegin”, the eighth chapter was separated from the seven previous chapters, and the
Book V, originally published as an independent volume under the title “Lika”, was also included in the final text of “The Life of Arseniev”.
The originally planned sequel did not follow. The Book V, which ultimately completed Bunin’s novel, does not seem alien to it: to some extent, it is autonomous, but its lyricism and
first-person narration organically connect it with the other books.
Lika’s love and death puts an end to Bunin’s coming-of-age novel, it is complete. But the image of the author, the writer of this novel, contains incompleteness. And this repeats
“Onegin”, where the image of unfinished existence is very clearly revealed.

OBJECTIVE: The objectives of our study were to assess the attitude of health professionals, regarding the use of Stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) in regenerative medicine and to explore its prospects in a developing country like Pakistan.

METHODOLOGY: A questionnaire based cross-sectional survey of practitioners in medicine and dentistry was conducted in Pakistan. The questionnaire commenced with demographic and professional background questions and followed by 11 descriptive questions. These 11 questions include, awareness of the term SHED, interest rating on a 5-point Likert scale, choice to use SHED for research purposes, opinion of storing and donating stem cells in a stem cell storage facility, medico-legal support for SHED in Pakistan and lastly medium of choice to raise awareness regarding SHED. A convenient sampling procedure was used in which 250 subjects from dental and medical fields were selected for the study. RESULTS: The total response rate was 98.8 %. At least half of the participants (56.68%) were unaware about the term SHED. The chi-square test was used to compare the results and determine if there were any significant differences in the responses between the dentistry and medical groups. P-values less than 0.05 were deemed statistically significant. Dental professionals showed a significantly greater interest (p = 0.015) in SHED practice as compared to medical professionals. The majority (61%) of health professionals agreed on primary teeth banking. Nearly 31 % of health professionals appeared hesitant to support the medico-legal status of SHED practice in Pakistan.

CONCLUSIONS: Despite showing moderate interest, many health professionals of Pakistan still unfamiliar with the term SHED. Educational interventions on the ' awareness of SHED applications and its ethical concern' are required to be organized for health professionals in Pakistan.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to establish a relationship between skeletal maturity, as evaluated through cervical vertebral maturation, and the calcification stages of mandibular canines.

METHODOLOGY: Carried out at the Orthodontics, Department of Saidu College of sDentistry in Swat, this correlational study employed a non-probability consecutive sampling technique involving 130 participants. Inclusion criteria encompassed high-quality pre-treatment panoramic and lateral cephalometric radiographs, of children age 8 to 16 displaying normal growth and development. Exclusion criteria considered conditions such as congenital anomalies, severe dental issues, and systemic medical conditions impacting maturation. Panoramic radiographs and the Gleiser and Hunt method were used to score mandibular canine calcification stages, while skeletal maturation was evaluated using lateral cephalograms and the CVM method proposed by Baccetti et al. Associations were explored using the Chi-square test and Spearman's rank correlation, with a significance threshold of P < 0.01.

RESULTS: The study comprised 130 participants (mean age 11.86 ± 1.76 years, 63 females and 67 males) with assessed canine calcification stages: MCC 1 (1.54%), MCC 2 (30.00%), MCC 3 (24.62%), MCC 4 (13.85%), MCC 5 (29.23%), and MCC 4 (0.77%). A significant correlation existed between canine calcification stages and CVM stages (p < 0.001). Notably, a perfect correlation was found between cervical maturation stage and calcification stage (r = 0.96).

CONCLUSION: The calcification stages of mandibular canines offer a clinically valuable indicator for assessing skeletal maturity.

Locally adapted Landraces are considered as valuable genetic resources, important income sources for local bean producers and consumers' preferences. A limited number of studies have been carried out on different sowing times and densities in landraces of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). To present alternative options for farmers, especially new ones, this study aimed to reveal the effect of different sowing times and densities on the agronomical and technological traits of a common bean known as Şeker fasulye (sugar bean) in Gümüşhane, Türkiye. The study was conducted in a field of farmer in Gümüşhane in three different sowing times (22 May, 6 June, 21 June 2020) and six sowing densities (30×5 cm, 30×10 cm, 30×15 cm, 45×5 cm, 45×10 cm, 45×15 cm) using split-plot design in randomized blocks. The highest grain yield was obtained in sowing densities of 30×10 cm (8.96 t ha-1) and 30×15 cm (8.87 t ha-1) on 22 May. As “a golden rule of plant production”, the early sowing time (22 May) is recommended to the farmers. Also, 30×15 cm sowing density is suggested to the producers due to the less seed requirements for the agronomical and technological traits in landrace of common bean (Gümüşhane Sugar Bean).
КОМПЬЮТЕРНОЕ МОДЕЛИРОВАНИЕ ЭФФЕКТОВ ОБРАЗОВАНИЯ АНИЗОТРОПНЫХ СТРУКТУР ПРИ ПРОТЕКАНИИ ТОКА ЧЕРЕЗ ПОРОШКОВЫЕ МАТЕРИАЛЫ

Компьютерное моделирование новых методов обработки материалов носит многодисциплинарный характер и требует развития специального программного обеспечения с соответствующими математическими моделями и алгоритмами. В данной работе создана программа для конечно-элементного моделирования явлений, связанных с выделением Джоулева тепла в неоднородных системах. С использованием созданной программы исследована модельная система, имитирующая протекание электрического тока через полидисперсный порошковый материал. Модельный материал имеет матричную структуру, образован круглыми в сечении включениями и характеризуется различной проводимостью, концентрацией и взаимным расположением частиц. Показана возможность получения анизотропной структуры в результате теплового воздействия на порошковый материал при протекании электрического тока. Установлен перечень управляющих параметров технологического процесса для получения анизотропного порошкового материала. Предложен метод систематизации результатов компьютерного моделирования с использованием диаграмм, подобных фазовым диаграммам многокомпонентных соединений.
