Analysis of metallurgical defects in enamel steel castings
Authors: Rui Qixuan , Huang Zijian , Li Yingjiang , Hu Xiaoguang
Published: March 2024

The relevant experiments and studies were conducted to address the metallurgical defects such as subcutaneous bubbles and slag inclusions occurring during the enamel steel continuous casting process. According to the high-temperature experimental results, calculations were made to determine the changes in viscosity and tension due to the steel reaction with the slag. Based on the experimental findings, there was a notable variation in the content of SiO2 and Al2O3 in the slag before and after the reaction. The concentration of the element Al in the steel melt significantly decreased, whereas the concentration of Ti showed a minimal change. These observations indicate that the reduction of SiO2 at the slag–steel interface is predominantly attributed to the role of Al. The calculation results showed that at 300 s of reaction time, the viscosity rapidly increased from 0.108 to 0.133 Pa·s and then slowly increased to 0.155 Pa·s; The interfacial tension rapidly decreased from its initial value of 1,380 mJ·m−2 to a minimum of 1,320 mJ·m−2, and it then slowly increased to an equilibrium state. Therefore, the main cause of the occurrence of porosity defects in the enamel steel continuous casting process is the reduction of interfacial tension between slag, steel, and gas caused by the reaction between the slag and steel, as well as the foaming of the slag.

Published: March 2024

This paper presents classification and analysis of the mathematical models of the spread of COVID-19 in different groups of population such as family, school, office (3–100 people), town (100–5000 people), city, region (0.5–15 million people), country, continent, and the world.
The classification covers major types of models (time-series, differential, imitation ones, neural networks models and their combinations).
The time-series models are based on analysis of time series using filtration, regression and network methods.
The differential models are those derived from systems of ordinary and stochastic differential equations as well as partial differential equations.
The imitation models include cellular automata and agent-based models.
The fourth group in the classification consists of combinations of nonlinear Markov chains and optimal control theory, derived by methods of the mean-field game theory.
COVID-19 is a novel and complicated disease, and the parameters of most models are, as a rule, unknown and estimated by solving inverse problems.
The paper contains an analysis of major algorithms of solving inverse problems: stochastic optimization, nature-inspired algorithms (genetic, differential evolution, particle swarm, etc.), assimilation methods, big-data analysis, and machine learning.
Form Copy, Agree and Clitics
Authors: Roberts Ian
Published: March 2024

Here it is proposed that Form Copy (Chomsky, Noam, T. Daniel Seely, Robert C. Berwick, Sandiway Fong, M. A. C. Huybregts, Hisatsugu Kitahara, Andrew McInnerney, Yushi Sugimoto. 2023. Merge and the strong minimalist thesis. In Cambridge elements. Cambridge University Press), applied to features, can derive a very simple form of Agree without the need for the distinction between interpretable and uninterpretable features or the Activity Condition. Furthermore, since Roberts (Roberts, Ian. 2010. Agreement and head movement: Clitics and defective goals. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press) derives head-movement from Agree, Form Copy can be similarly extended in such a way as to derive the effects of head-movement. This conclusion holds independently of whether head-movement is a purely morphophonological operation or whether there are narrow-syntactic cases. It is also shown how an account of cliticisation, both proclisis and enclisis, can be derived, updating the proposals in Roberts (Roberts, Ian. 2010. Agreement and head movement: Clitics and defective goals. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press) in terms of Form Copy.

Authors: Mihr Maximilian August am
Published: March 2024

Zwischen 2004 und 2011 hat das Filmmuseum der Landeshauptstadt Düsseldorf schrittweise das gesamte Archiv des Unternehmens Eduard (im Folgenden kurz Ed.) Liesegang oHG, dem seit 1854 bestehenden führenden deutschen Hersteller für Projektionsgeräte und -zubehör im 20. Jahrhundert, übernommen. Zusätzlich wurden Dia- und Lichtbildserien der Firma als Schenkung erworben. Liesegang hatte nicht nur Diapositive, sondern auch entsprechende Begleittexte im Angebot und das Unternehmen stellte sogar Referenten für verschiedene Projektionsreihen. Der heute kaum noch praktizierte Diavortrag spielte eine wichtige Rolle im Unternehmenskonzept. In diesem Kontext ist die Lichtbildserie 645 mit dem Titel „Unsere Kolonien“ aus dem Jahr 1912 besonders bemerkenswert. Es ist anzunehmen, dass die kolorierten Glasdiapositive in Vortragssituationen der vielen lokalen Niederlassungen der Kolonialverwaltung des Kaiserreichs zum Einsatz kamen, beispielsweise der Deutschen Kolonialgesellschaft oder des Deutschen Kolonialvereins.

Painful differences between different pain scale assessments: The outcome of assessed pain is a matter of the choices of scale and statistics
Authors: Svensson Elisabeth , Lund Iréne
Published: March 2024

Objectives

Perceived pain is a multi-factorial subjective variable, commonly measured by numeric rating scales, verbal descriptive scales (VDS), or by a position on an analogue line (VAS). A major question is whether an individual’s VAS and VDS pain assessments, on the same occasion, could be comparable. The aim was to compare continuous and discretized VAS pain data with verbal descriptive pain datasets from the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and the European Quality of Life Scale (EQ-5D) in paired pain datasets.

Methods

The measurement level of data from any type of scale assessments is ordinal, having rank-invariant properties only. Non-parametric statistical methods were used. Two ways of discretizing the VAS-line to VAS-intervals to fit the number of the comparing VDS-categories were used: the commonly used (equidistant VAS,VDS)-pairs and the (unbiased VAS,VDS)-pairs of pain data. The comparability of the (VAS,VDS)-pairs of data of perceived pain was studied by the bivariate ranking approach. Hence, each pair will be regarded as ordered, disordered, or tied with respect to the other pairs of data. The percentage agreement, PA, the measures of disorder, D, and of order consistency, MA, were calculated. Total interchangeability requires PA = 1 and MA = 1.

Results

The wide range of overlapping of (VAS,VDS)-pairs indicated that the continuous VAS data were not comparable to any of the VDS pain datasets. The percentage of agreement, PA; in the (equidistant VAS,ODI) and (equidistant VAS, EQ-5D) pairs were 38 and 49%, and the order consistency, MA, was 0.70 and 0.80, respectively. Corresponding results for the (unbiased VAS,VDS)-pairs of pain data were PA: 54 and 100%, and MA: 0.77 and 1.0.

Conclusion

Our results confirmed that perceived pain is the individual’s subjective experience, and possible scale-interchangeability is only study-specific. The pain experience is not possible to be measured univocally, but is possible for the individual to rate on a scale.

Published: March 2024

The rising concern about the environmental pollution, particularly due to the setup of more industrial sectors has grabbed the attention of scientists and researchers. Many textile businesses emit Malachite Green and Methylene Blue (MG and MB) into the atmosphere, posing serious health risks. In this study, a copper metal-organic framework doped with iron nanoparticles (Cu-MOF@Fe3O4) was synthesized utilizing the slow evaporation approach, commencing with cuprous chloride and 2-mercaptobenzimidazole in a 1:2 ratio. Cu-MOF@Fe3O4 was characterized using a variety of techniques, including FTIR, SEM, and DRS analysis. The SEM analysis showed a rough and uneven morphology for the Cu-based MOFs. The XRD analysis confirmed the crystallinity of the products. The average crystallite size for Cu-MOF, Fe3O4 nanoparticles and Cu-MOF@Fe3O4 were found to be 0.22, 1.00, and 1.00 nm. While the surface area of Cu-MOF was found to be 213.192 m2g−1 while in Cu-MOF@Fe3O4 it shows an increase, i.e., 218.268 m2g−1 as calculated through the iodometric method. A series of experiments were conducted to assess the surface area, chemical oxygen demand (COD), limit of detection (LOD) (0.065559, 0.0136), limit of quantification (LOQ) (0.198662, 0.041312), point of zero charge (PZC) (5.2), pH levels (6, 7), contact times (10, 25 min), photocatalyst dosages (0.3, 0.05 g), dye concentrations (2, 10 µg/mL), and temperature effects (50°, 90°) on the adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of MG and MB, respectively. Photodegradation of both dyes followed pseudo-second order kinetics with R
2 values of 0.9833 (MG) and 0.8875 (MB). The adsorption isotherms (Freundlich and Langmuir) for MG and MB dye were analyzed and the experimental data holds a good correlation with Freundlich isotherm. The sample application of Cu-MOF@Fe3O4 as a photocatalyst, has high efficiency,  % photocatalysis (96.9 % MG, 99.4 % MB) with reusability (95–100 %) upto 10 cycles to photodegrade MG and MB dye in wastewater. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the deployment of copper-based MOFs-doped with magnetite for the photocatalytic degradation of MG and MB dyes.

Era transformasi digital 4.0 ini marak penggunaan citraan berbasis digital untuk berbagai kebutuhan, dari jualan hingga hiburan. Metaverse memiliki peluang besar di Indonesia karena dapat digunakan di berbagai bidang seperti pariwisata, pendidikan, kesejahteraan sosial dan perdagangan di Indonesia. Namun demikian, belum banyak berkembang pembahasan mengenai kualitas citra yang standar untuk kebutuhan sinematografi. Citra yang dimaksud adalah suatu representasi (gambaran), kemiripan atau imitasi dari suatu objek. Citra sebagai keluaran suatu sistem perekaman data dapat bersifat optik berupa foto, bersifat analog berupa sinyal-sinyal video seperti gambaran pada monitor televisi, atau bersifat digital yang dapat langsung disimpan pada suatu media penyimpanan. Meskipun sebuah citra kaya akan informasi, namun sering kali citra yang dimiliki mengalami penurunan mutu, misalnya mengandung cacat atau denois. Metode yang digunakan dalam sinematografi meliputi camera angle, continuity, cutting, dan composition. Hasil penelitian ini adalah Penggunaan aspek sinematografi terutama dalam karya animasi ataupun syuting mempunyai mood dan teknik pencahayaan yang sama dengan pengarahan pada media yang lain. Dalam pencahayaan film VR yang menggunakan metode pembuatannya menggunakan animasi tiga dimensi mempunyai treatment yang lebih menonjolkan kesan tekstur yang gelap dan low-key lighting

In this era of digital transformation 4.0, there is widespread use of digital-based imagery for various needs, from sales to entertainment. Metaverse has great opportunities in Indonesia because it can be used in various fields such as tourism, education, social welfare and trade in Indonesia. However, there has not been much discussion about standard image quality for cinematography needs. The image in question is a representation (picture), resemblance or imitation of an object. The image as the output of a data recording system can be optical in the form of photos, analog in the form of video signals such as images on a television monitor, or digital which can be directly stored on a storage medium. Even though an image is rich in information, the image that is owned often suffers a loss of quality, for example, contains defects or defects. The methods used in cinematography include camera angle, continuity, cutting, and composition. The result of this research is that the use of cinematographic aspects, especially in animation or filming works, has the same mood and lighting techniques as directed at other media. In VR film lighting, which uses a three-dimensional animation method, it has a treatment that emphasizes the impression of a dark texture and low-key lighting.

When a person has aged, his life is no longer full of energy and slowly begins to get a decline in body functions. This has resulted in the need for support for good and comfortable housing facilities, one of which is an Nursing Home. The elderly home, which is commonly known as Panti Werdha, is a residential facility for the elderly. In this study, we will take the object of an elderly home named Panti Werdha Wisma Mulia. The author will carry the Japanese Scandinavian concept or better known as Japandi at the Wisma Mulia Nursing Home. Apart from following the concepts that developed according to the times, the selection of the Japandi concept was able to provide a comfortable atmosphere for the elderly. This is because the Japandi concept prioritizes minimalism and warmth on the design side. So that it can create a warm, quiet, spacious room atmosphere, and of course provide a comfortable and safe effect for the elderly who inhabit it. The research was conducted by direct observation at the orphanage to obtain building data, residents' habits and photos of the room's atmosphere, as well as looking for data and building precedents with the Japanese concept. Furthermore, the author will redesign the design of the Wisma Mulia Nursing Home by implementing the Japandi concept. The result is an image of an interior design perspective as well as an explanation and benefit of the design. The author hopes that the design can be useful if it is realized and provides comfort for the elderly.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the dispute settlement binding Trade Agreement (PPJB) unit flats through litigation in Indonesia compared to the Netherlands and to analyze the reconstruction of the law in dispute resolution PPJB in Indonesia to provide legal certainty. The main problem in this paper is that the dispute resolution of the binding Trade Agreement in Indonesia has not provided legal certainty due to court decisions that are difficult to implement due to weak supervision. This research method is normative research with a comparative approach. The urgency of this study is that 276 PPJB disputes in Indonesia are resolved through the courts are difficult to implement. The novelty of this study lies in the researchers ' efforts to reconstruct the law of flats, especially in the implementation of PPJB dispute court decisions. The results showed PPJB dispute settlement unit flats through litigation, experienced obstacles in the application of the judge's ruling, which won the consumer as the injured party. The obstacles to the application of the ruling do not provide legal certainty for consumers. In the Netherlands, the settlement of flat sale and purchase disputes is carried out through non-litigation channels that are more effective in providing legal certainty. Legal reconstruction in PPJB dispute resolution in Indonesia to provide legal certainty that is to accommodate the provisions of supervision for putting the court's decision into action or arbitration decisions in PPJB dispute resolution, as outlined in the provisions of Article 105 of the flats law.
Measuring Ex Officio Judge Rights and Application of the Ultra Petitum Partium Principle in Deciding Cases in Religious Courts
Authors: Ali Moh
Published: March 2024

The judge carries out the authority to try based on independent judicial power. Judges in examining cases are guided by, among other things, two things: making decisions based on applicable laws and regulations and being obliged to explore the values that live in society. The procedural law of the religious courts also originates from the civil procedural law, which applies to general courts. One of the distinctive characteristics of civil cases is the judge's restriction not to grant the petitum of a lawsuit that was not requested by the plaintiff (ultra petitum partium). The threat to the ban on the use of the ultra petitum partium principle is that the decision is declared null and void. On the other hand, in practice, judges at religious courts often use ex officio rights to decide something that was not requested by the plaintiff, not even limited to that; instead, the judge adds a ruling that benefits the defendant. This often occurs in examinations of cases of marital dissolution filed by the husband (cerai talak) or by the wife (cerai gugat), and in some cases, it also occurs in claims for the division of joint assets in a marriage. The judge's consideration of using ex officio rights and going beyond ultra petitum partium is to provide balance in court decisions. In addition, it is also based on the concepts of justice and benefit. The application of ex officio rights by judges needs to be explained in laws and regulations. This is to guarantee legal certainty and the understanding of judges and justice seekers so that limiting the use of rights officio, does not conflict with the principle of ultra petitum partium.
Sakit Rindu: Romanticization of Manthous's Songs in Commodification Practices by Dapur Musik Project
Authors: Andini Mustika , Dienaputra Reiza D. , Nugrahanto Widyo
Published: March 2024

The phenomenon of music cover in new media is now increasingly mushrooming, especially in Indonesia. Dapur Musik Project, as a keroncong music group consisting of young people, also works on cover versions of Manthous's songs, who is considered a predecessor to them. Sakit Rindu is one of Dapur Musik Project content that is most popular with the audience, as evidenced by the acquisition of million viewers.

This research uses qualitative methods to analyze how Dapur Musik Project commodifies the songs composed by Manthous. In general, this research uses the framework of Adorno and Horkheimer (1944) which expresses the cultural industry theory, commodification theory put forward by Mosco (2009), and social practice theory or structural-constructive theory from Bourdieu's (1984) framework. The results of this research explain the commodification practices carried out by Dapur Musik Project in the realm of musicals and performances, as well as in the realm of packaging and marketing, with an attachment to industry and economic value. Dapur Musik Project also utilizes the symbolic power they have over relational relationships as the Manthous family in perpetuating commodification practices.

The various changes in form, composition, packaging and strategy carried out by Dapur Musik Project are not considered renewal, but only a form of romanticization of Manthous's songs. Dapur Musik Project is an example of how youth people try to mediate the standardization polemic in keroncong music with their own roles and methods. This research annunciating the keroncong music community about the urgency of commodification practices in the discourse on the preservation and development of keroncong music in the Indonesian music scene.

Published: March 2024

Objective

We conducted a survey of UK endocrine clinicians between June 2022 and August 2022 to understand current practices regarding GH treatment discontinuation in adults with growth hormone deficiency.

Design and methods

Using Survey Monkey®, a web-based multiple-choice questionnaire was disseminated to the UK Society for Endocrinology membership. It consisted of 15 questions on demographics, number of patients receiving GH and current practice on GH treatment discontinuation.

Results

In total, 102 endocrine clinicians completed the survey. Of these, 65 respondents (33 endocrinologists and 32 specialist nurses) indicated active involvement in managing patients with growth hormone deficiency. In total, 27.7% of clinicians were routinely offering a trial of GH discontinuation to adults receiving long-term GH therapy. Only 6% had a clinical guideline to direct such practice. In total, 29.2% stated that GH discontinuation should be routinely offered as an option to patients on long-term treatment, whilst 60% were not clearly in favour or against this approach but stated that it should probably be considered, and 9.2% were against. During the GH withdrawal period, most clinicians monitor signs and symptoms (75.4%), measure IGF-1 (84.6%), and complete a quality-of-life assessment (89.2%).

Conclusion

The practice of offering a trial of GH discontinuation in growth hormone deficiency adults on long-term GH therapy is highly variable, reflecting the lack of high-quality evidence. Around a quarter of clinicians offer GH withdrawal for a number of reasons, but only a few have a local clinical guidance. A further 60% of clinicians stated they would probably consider such an approach. Methodologically sound studies underpinning the development of safe and cost-effective guidance are needed.

Significance statement

In this UK survey of endocrine clinicians managing adults with growth hormone deficiency on long-term GH therapy, we explored for the first-time current practice and views on offering GH treatment discontinuation. In total, 27.7% of clinicians were routinely offering this option for a variety of reasons. Only 6% have local clinical guideline available to direct their practice on this. The majority of clinicians (60%), were not clearly in favour or against this approach but indicated it should probably be considered. In the absence of robust evidence on consequences of GH withdrawal, clinicians proposed monitoring of various clinical, biochemical and quality-of-life parameters during the period of discontinuation. Methodologically sound studies that will underpin the development of a safe, cost-effective guidance are needed.

Emigration from Ukraine to Germany in the Context of the Russian-Ukrainian War
Authors: Stishov Vasyl
Published: March 2024

A new topic is submitted in the article, namely the study of changes in the social structure of modern Ukrainian society, in particular, forced migration processes in Ukraine and abroad, caused by the active phase of the Russian-Ukrainian war started on February 24, 2022. The adaptation mechanisms in Germany, where the second in number largest group of the forced migrants stay are considered in the work. The main issues include granting a residence permit in Germany with refugee status, state support, housing, material and medical assistance, educational services, employment, etc. Also the activities of Ukrainian public organizations in FRG, in particular diplomatic, confessional, volunteer, scouting, etc. are described. The paper is aimed at the conducting an analytical ethnological study of socio-cultural aspects, systematization of the statistical data on the emigration of the population from Ukraine to Germany from various sources (scientific literature, Internet resources, mass media, own field notes and illustrative materials from the participants of these processes, etc.). The main researcher’s attention is paid to the adaptation period of the war refugees, their adjustment to the new realities of life in Germany and the negative consequences of migration processes for Ukraine, both demographic, economic and ethnopolitical, ethnocultural. The emigration problem is extremely important and sensitive for modern society, requiring constant statistical updates, analysis and generalisation, therefore its relevance is obvious and timely. The general scientific methods and special ethnological ones are used in the study: system analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, classification (to reveal the subject of the article, structure it and summarise information in a single semantic wholeness). Interviews and audio recording of field material are used among the special methods (to replenish the factual base and clarify the current state of the problem). The method of critical discourse analysis has been used to analyse the interview texts. It provides the most complete picture of the migrant’s condition and adaptation in foreign and unusual surroundings. The scientific novelty of the submitted topic lies in the generalised analysis of statistical and demographic data on the scale of forced emigration of Ukrainians, which has and will continue to have a negative impact on the gene pool of our country.

Published: March 2024

The research discussed in this progress report has been proposed to study the interface shear transfer in applications for partial-depth concrete repairs and for topping applications on precast elements. This research comprises two phases of laboratory testing. Phase 1 was developed to study the (local) interface bond strength of slab specimens through direct shear tests and direct tensile pull-off tests. Phase 2 comprises flexural tests on beam specimens to assess interface shear strength under combined bending and shear.
Consistency of local linear regression estimator for mixtures with varying concentrations
Authors: Horbunov Daniel , Maiboroda Rostyslav
Published: March 2024

Finite mixtures with different regression models for different mixture components naturally arise in statistical analysis of biological and sociological data. In this paper a model of mixtures with varying concentrations is considered in which the mixing probabilities are different for different observations. A modified local linear estimation (mLLE) technique is developed to estimate the regression functions of the mixture component nonparametrically. Consistency of the mLLE is demonstrated. Performance of mLLE and a modified Nadaraya–Watson estimator (mNWE) is assessed via simulations. The results confirm that the mLLE technique overcomes the boundary effect typical to the NWE.
Public perception of autonomous vehicles acceptance in Hungary
Authors: Mohammed Dilshad , Horváth Balázs
Published: March 2024

The integration of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) into our modern society hinges on gaining widespread acceptance from potential road users. To indicate the preparedness of these road users and elucidate their perspectives regarding the use of AVs in future, it is imperative to conduct surveys gauging public acceptance and satisfaction with this emerging mode of transportation. This paper reports the results of a comprehensive questionnaire study involving 1,000 individuals in Gyor City. The survey's primary objective was to assess participants' attitudes and willingness to embrace autonomous vehicles within the city's road networks. The study delved into various socio-demographic factors, such as age, gender, and employment status, while also exploring participants' prior knowledge and opinions regarding the advantages and limitations of AVs. The findings reveal a generally favorable disposition among the public toward the inclusion of AVs in urban traffic, paving the way for the acceptance of mixed traffic patterns. Notably, respondents in younger age groups exhibit greater enthusiasm for incorporating AVs into their daily transportation, whereas individuals aged 65 and above express more reservations, displaying a conservative outlook. Furthermore, participants with prior knowledge and a deeper understanding of AVs exhibit a markedly more positive inclination toward this emerging technology compared to those lacking such familiarity.
Photoluminescent Bi-doped CsPbX3 (X: Br, I) perovskite quantum dots for optoelectronic devices

Published: March 2024

Perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) became a hot spot in recent years due to their amazing properties, such as the high photoluminescence quantum yield, tunable emission, and narrow bandwidth being important for their application in different optoelectronic devices. In this work, Bi-doped CsPbBr3 and Bi-doped CsPbI3 PQDs were synthesized through the hot-injection method and compared with pristine CsPbBr3 and CsPbI3 to analyze the effect of Bi and the halogen on their properties. In addition, all the samples were synthesized at 130°C, 150°C, and 170°C with the aim of analyzing the effect of the temperature. The results showed a wide range of the emission wavelength from around 500 nm (Bi-doped CsPbBr3) to 630 nm (Bi-doped CsPbI3) as a consequence of the effect of the halogen in “X” position and a slight blueshift in the main photoluminescence emission band after doping the pristine quantum dots with Bi.

Graphical abstract

Impact statement

We believe that the work in this article represents an important advance in the application of perovskite quantum dots in optoelectronics applications, such as in LEDs or lasers. We report here the synthesis and characterization of Bi-doped CsPbX3 perovskite quantum dots (PQDs), being X: Br and I. These Bi-doped PQDs show a wide range of the emission wavelength from around 500 nm (Bi-doped CsPbBr3) to 630 nm (Bi-doped CsPbI3) as a consequence of the effect of the halogen in “X” position and a slight blueshift in the main photoluminescence emission band after doping the pristine quantum dots with Bi. Therefore, they are good candidates to fabricate optoelectronic devices such as LEDs and lasers thanks to their high photoluminescence emission and their tunable emission.
