Research Progress on Corrosion Behavior of Oil and Gas Pipelines in Wet CO2 and H2S Environments
Authors: Wang Hui , Yang Fan
Published: October 2024

Corrosion of pipes is a common problem in oilfield extraction, gathering, storage and transportation. Fluid containing CO2 and H2S will cause serious corrosion perforation and fracture of oil and gas field pipes, which will lead to fluid leakage. It not only pollutes the surrounding environment, but also causes safety accidents. In this paper, the corrosion behavior of common pipes in the field of oil and gas field exploitation is reviewed in the presence of wet CO2 and H2S alone and in the coexistence environment, and the influencing factors are analyzed. The results show that CO2 partial pressure and H2S partial pressure play a major role in the corrosion rate of the pipe in the presence of wet phase CO2 and H2S alone. In addition, the effect of Cl- concentration on the pipe cannot be ignored, and the corrosion rate of the pipe decreases at high Cl- concentration (>5 000 mg/L). Finally, the research on the corrosion of pipes in CO2/H2S system is prospected, in order to provide reference for the formulation of protection measures for oil and gas fields and the development of new corrosion-resistant pipes.

Exploring the Interconnections and Practical Applications of Art within a STEAM Education Curriculum
Authors: Lisi  , Rajendran Nagappan
Published: October 2024

Art plays a vital role in STEAM education, not only bringing creativity and aesthetic thinking to the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics but also enriching students' modes of expression and problem-solving abilities. By integrating art with other STEAM disciplines, we can help students develop creative and critical thinking skills, enhance their understanding of the real world, and master interdisciplinary capabilities. This paper investigates the challenges faced by higher education students in integrating art with other STEAM fields. The study involves 13 students aged 18 to 21 who are pursuing a STEAM education technology degree. Using qualitative research methods, the study finds that although students recognize the importance of art in promoting interdisciplinary thinking and innovation, challenges remain in effectively combining art with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in practice. The difficulties reported by students include differences in language, terminology, and ways of thinking between art and other STEAM fields, as well as a lack of prior interdisciplinary teaching experience. Moreover, in traditional education, art is often isolated as a separate discipline rather than integrated into a comprehensive educational approach. This conventional mindset limits students' ability to connect art with other fields. Therefore, to implement STEAM education more effectively, it is necessary to consciously integrate art into curriculum design and provide more interdisciplinary learning opportunities to help students better understand and apply the role of art within STEAM.
Research on the Artistic Style and Singing Skills of Zhejiang Folk Songs
Authors: Yang Wenting
Published: October 2024

Zhejiang folk songs, as a gem within the realm of traditional Chinese musical culture, boast a rich array of artistic styles and distinctive vocal techniques. Their origins can be traced back to various facets of rural life, including agricultural labor, festive rituals, and folk activities, reflecting the diverse customs and cultural heritage of different regions within Zhejiang. Situated on the southeastern coast, the harmonious natural environment of Zhejiang has given rise to a variety of folk song forms, ranging from mountain ballads to farm songs and fishing tunes, each showcasing its own unique charm. Particularly, the refined and understated essence of Jiangnan culture endows Zhejiang folk songs with a poetic and delicate expression in melody and lyrics, culminating in a distinctive artistic style. The dissemination of Zhejiang folk songs is not confined to specific regions; as times change and society evolves, they have gradually integrated into contemporary art realms, becoming an essential part of national and local cultural heritage. Today, amid the diversification of popular culture, Zhejiang folk songs face the challenges of modernization and the struggle of preservation. Nevertheless, they remain a cultural symbol, carrying the memories and sentiments of traditional culture. This is not merely a testament to history but also a reflection of national emotions and artistic pursuits, deserving of in-depth study and preservation.
Adaptive Risk Parity Strategies for Managing Portfolio Risk in Volatile Markets
Authors: Chen Yuji , Yu Lu , Lin Geyi
Published: October 2024

This paper presents a novel model for Adaptive Risk Parity Portfolio Construction, designed to dynamically adjust portfolio weights based on changing market conditions and economic regimes. Traditional portfolio strategies, such as Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT), often rely on static assumptions that can lead to suboptimal performance in volatile markets. In contrast, the adaptive risk parity approach aims to equalize risk contributions across asset classes while responding to fluctuations in economic indicators, such as GDP growth and inflation rates. By employing techniques such as Markov switching models and machine learning for regime identification, the proposed model allows for real-time adjustments to asset allocations. The back-testing results demonstrate that the adaptive risk parity portfolio outperforms static risk parity and traditional mean-variance optimized portfolios in terms of risk-adjusted returns and drawdown management. This research contributes to the field of portfolio management by providing a framework that enhances resilience and adaptability in investment strategies.

Authors: KOUSAR N , ULLAH MK , RIAZ L
Published: October 2024

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that requires prompt identification and management, particularly in critically ill patients. Nurses play a pivotal role in sepsis management, and their knowledge, attitudes, and practices directly impact patient outcomes. However, there is limited data on the awareness and competency of nurses regarding sepsis assessment and management, especially in low-resource settings. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of nurses towards the assessment and management of sepsis in critically ill patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and emergency department of DHQ Hospital, Narowal, from July 2023 to July 2024. A total of 100 ICU and CCU nurses were selected using convenience sampling. Data were collected through a 32-item questionnaire that assessed knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to sepsis. Additionally, the 24-item Nursing Decision-Making Instrument (NDMI) was used to evaluate decision-making skills. Descriptive statistics were calculated, and relationships between variables were analyzed using t-tests and ANOVA. Results: The mean knowledge score was 5.1 ± 1.8, with 83% of nurses demonstrating poor awareness of sepsis. The mean attitude score was 2.0 ± 0.9, with 85% of nurses displaying negative attitudes toward sepsis management. The mean practice score was 79 ± 17.8, with 72% of nurses showing poor practice skills. The mean decision-making score on the NDMI was 63.3 ± 19.6. Qualifications (p=0.010, p=0.00) and work experience (p=0.005, p=0.050) significantly influenced knowledge and practice scores. Moreover, knowledge and practice scores varied significantly with different modes of decision-making (p<0.001, p=0.020). Conclusion: The study revealed that ICU and emergency department nurses had insufficient knowledge, negative attitudes, and inadequate practices concerning sepsis assessment and management. Training programs, targeted educational interventions, and policy reforms are urgently required to improve nurses' competency and decision-making skills in sepsis management, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes.

Authors: Khugeyan A. , Ponomarenko I.
Published: October 2024

This article presents the final results of the State educational standard of preschool education of the Republic of Armenia in the field of “speech and communication”, concerning older preschoolers, language and communication abilities. Taking into account the requirements of skills and final results, we tried to analyze approaches, methods and forms of speech development of a child in modern preschool didactics. Coherent speech of preschoolers includes two important components: dialogue and monologue, the development of which is extremely important in the process of development of the child’s personality. It’s no secret that coherent speech is an important indicator of a child’s development, an important prerequisite for preparing for school. In the educational process of kindergarten, along with all program components, speech development occupies an important place. In addition to specially organized classes on speech development, in all classes held in kindergarten, great importance is attached to the development of coherent speech, considering it a necessary condition for the comprehensive development of the child.

Nowadays, when a child is in an active environment that is almost not controlled by adults, he has a variety of problems with the development of speech. Preschool educational institutions, in fact, are alone against these problems and should arm themselves with modern methods and technologies to make up for the omissions in the process of developing a child’s speech.

Media is the most popular and accessible means of getting information, learning, communicating with each other, and entertainment. We live in the conditions of a rapidly spreading media culture, from which even children are not spared. We consider the role of adults to be primary in this process.

In the era of development of information technologies, there is a need for purposeful use of media-educational technologies from preschool age.

The technology of organizing media education classes, as a necessary component of the preschooler’s digital and media ability, is aimed at forming a culture of information study, perception and analysis, orientation in media diversity, mastering the skills of working with various information with the help of an adult, where the knowledge acquired in the educational process of the child is demonstrated.

The purpose of the article is to justify the effectiveness of the use of technologies for the organization and implementation of media education classes in kindergartens.

The object of study of the research is the process of organization and implementation of media education classes in kindergartens.

The scientific novelty of the article lies in the fact that modern accents of the effectiveness of using media technologies corresponding to the level of sectoral development of senior preschoolers in the process of organizing and implementing digital and media opportunities enshrined in the state educational standard of preschool education in Armenia were considered and analyzed, taking into account the goals of media education in kindergarten and ways to reasonably solve problems that arise in the way of achieving these goals:
SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMATIC SITUATIONS AS AN INTERACTIVE LEARNING TOOL AND FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS THINKING
Authors: Adamyan N.
Published: October 2024

This article underscores the significance of problem-based learning, which fosters students’ multidisciplinary thinking, in achieving educational objectives. Problem-based learning is a pedagogical approach aimed at acquiring non-standard knowledge. It can be implemented at various stages of a lesson or topic study: introduction of new material, its reinforcement, assessment of knowledge, conclusion of the topic, and fostering competitive scenarios, among others.
It is crucial to consider the content of the material, students’ age characteristics, and their academic proficiency level. However, due to its time-intensive nature, frequent utilization poses risks in terms of potentially compromising the integrity of the curriculum.
As illustrated by our experience in implementing problem-based learning on “Biological Polymers” and “Protein Structure,” the unique aspect of this approach lies in its departure from traditional teaching methods reliant on rote memorization. Instead of simply imparting pre-packaged knowledge, it advocates for knowledge acquisition through a methodical exploration of cause-and-effect relationships via a series of logically structured questions, thereby fostering the development of students’ ability to draw conclusions.
The learning outcomes specified are essential for students to excel in research and project work, as well as for facilitating high-quality instruction during pedagogical practice and subsequent professional endeavors.

Authors: Aboubacari Mohamed Abdoulaye , Wolf Rayan , Gomes Fabrício Sepúlveda , Trotter Ian Michael
Published: October 2024

Este estudo avaliou os possíveis efeitos de um acordo de liberalização comercial entre o Brasil e os Estados Unidos e entre o Brasil e a China sobre a desigualdade de renda, bem-estar e consumo das famílias brasileiras. Utilizamos o Projeto de Análise do Equilíbrio Geral (PAEG), modelo da economia brasileira que divide o país em cinco macrorregiões e categoriza os domicílios em dez grupos de renda por região. Os resultados sugerem que a eliminação das tarifas comerciais entre os EUA e o Brasil tende a diminuir as desigualdades de renda nas regiões subdesenvolvidas e aumentá-las nas regiões desenvolvidas. Da mesma forma, eliminar as tarifas comerciais entre a China e o Brasil tende a ampliar as desigualdades de renda nas regiões subdesenvolvidas e aliviá-las nas regiões desenvolvidas. Além disso, as famílias brasileiras experimentam maiores ganhos em bem-estar e consumo como resultado da remoção das tarifas comerciais entre a China e o Brasil. Este estudo contribui para o debate atual sobre a relação entre abertura comercial e desigualdade no Brasil.

Authors: Olabisi Patrick , Ogunleye Gabriel , Olukoya Bamidele , Osobukola Adekunle
Published: October 2024

Phishing, which involves fraudulently gaining access to sensitive assets of unsuspecting individuals through deceptive and malicious emails, is a major global threat to internet users. The proliferation of phishing sites and their operations is occurring at an alarming rate, raising significant concerns about how to forestall them. Numerous research efforts are underway to detect phishing attempts before they can compromise important information and cause damage. Compared to conventional methods, machine learning has proven highly effective at detecting phishing attacks by analyzing different features. This study analyzed the behaviors of seven classification data mining algorithms on optimal subset features selection using Wrapper (Boruta) and Filter-based (Mutual-Information). Real-life phishing webpage datasets were used for the analysis. Ensemble classifiers such as Voting, Gradient Boosting, and Random Forest were used in the experiments. Two experiments were conducted. In the first experiment, K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN) yielded the highest accuracy among single classifiers, with a score of 94.1%, while Random Forest (RF) ensemble achieved 96.7%. In the second experiment, using another baseline feature set, RF performed excellently under the Boruta method with an accuracy of 97.25%, while K-NN retained the highest accuracy of 95.20% among single classifiers. This study provides empirical evidence that feature selection techniques have a great impact on the performance of ML models, for both single and ensemble classifiers, in the detection of phishing attacks.

Inspired by UNESCO’s Maputo Dialogue on “Men, Masculinities and Gender Equality” in Mozambique, this publication explores gender equality and masculinities in the Global South, drawing on experiences and perspectives from Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America and emphasizes on engaging men and boys in efforts towards achieving gender equality. Underlining the need to consider local understandings, the report cautions about imposition of universal solutions and provides recommendations for contextualization. By presenting evidence-based data and promising practices, including examples of successful interventions and toolkits, this report confronts the detrimental effects of gender norms and stereotypes on people of all genders. It invites policymakers and decision-makers to leverage the knowledge and tools provided to implement policies that proactively engage men and boys to transform MEN’talities.

The global state of play. Report and recommendations on quality physical education
Authors:   UNESCO,   Loughborough University
Published: October 2024

Quality Physical Education (QPE) is a UNESCO-developed concept that emphasizes frequency, variety, inclusivity, and value content in physical education. QPE aims to enhance the physical, mental, social, and emotional development of all students, equipping them with essential skills and values for lifelong active living. This report presents insights drawn from data collected across 117 countries and 2,455 PE teachers via UNESCO’s unique global QPE surveys. Its findings highlight key challenges and opportunities in the implementation of QPE, including insufficient funding, inadequate training for PE teachers, and lack of inclusive facilities. Actionable recommendations are provided to enhance PE programming through improvements in policy implementation, resource allocation, teacher training, inclusivity, and curriculum design. Co-authored by UNESCO and Loughborough University, this report builds on UNESCO’s commitment to QPE and serves as a vital resource for policymakers, PE practitioners, and academics to advance QPE policy and practice worldwide.

The weight of words. Gendered language and women’s participation and positioning in the labor market
Authors:   UNESCO
Published: October 2024

Words matter. Language mirrors beliefs and social norms. The text of online job posting can help inform about the hiring expectations of companies worldwide in terms of skills, responsibilities, performance and even gender. Using data from online job posting and about career progression in six Anglophone countries, this study finds evidence that masculine-coded language correlates negatively with female employment and with career progression. The glass ceiling that emerges looks big and thick: managerial position ads feature greater levels of masculine-coded language than non-managerial ones, especially in male dominated fields like STEMS. And even in industries where women outnumber men, women appear less likely to reach top positions. Finally, benefits do appear to matter and foster greater women’s employment, especially childcare. In a world where gender inequalities persist, addressing the harmful use of gendered language in the labour market is a cost effective, easy fix, but one that can bring important changes and payoffs to our societies and economies.

Authors: Li Jing , Shen Yan , Sun Lili , Sun Tao
Published: October 2024

The digital economy provides China's manufacturing industry with a pathway to establish new national competitive advantages and is an essential driving force for the high-quality advancement of green marketing. Utilizing data from 30 Chinese provinces from 2013 to 2022, this study employs the spatial Durbin model to investigate the spatial relationship between the digital economy and the advancement of green marketing at a high quality. The findings indicate that the growth of the digital economy significantly fosters high-quality development in green marketing and exhibits positive spatial spillover effects on neighboring regions. The Application of spatial Durbin regression to multi-province areas has revealed that the more economically developed the region, significantly influences of the digital economy on the high-quality development of green marketing, with a local siphoning phenomenon currently visible in the eastern region. The western region exhibits a spatially positive spillover effect from the high-quality development of green marketing in other regions. Furthermore, developing the digital economy in neighboring regions significantly enhances the high-quality development of green marketing in this region. The findings remain stable when evaluated using the alternative variables method and the control fixed effects approach.

Introdução: úlceras de perna em pacientes com anemia falciforme são debilitantes, de difícil cicatrização e apresentam alta recorrência, com poucos estudos evidenciando estratégias eficazes. Método: revisão de literatura sobre intervenções para o tratamento dessas lesões, utilizando o método PRISMA para seleção de publicações (2008-2024) nas bases SciELO e PubMed, com as palavras-chave "doença falciforme", "úlcera de perna", "cicatrização", "fisiopatologia" e "tratamento". Desenvolvimento: cinco artigos foram incluídos, envolvendo 302 participantes: dois ensaios clínicos, dois estudos de coorte e um transversal. Três estudos avaliaram medicamentos tópicos: butirato de arginina, poli-hexanida e nitrito de sódio. O butirato de arginina mostrou melhora na cicatrização parcial (>90%) em 12 semanas, comparado ao tratamento padrão. A poli-hexanida levou à cura em 25% dos pacientes em 12 meses e o nitrito de sódio em 3%, em 4 semanas. Outro estudo testou compressão venosa, desbridamento cortante e curativos, resultando em cura total para 75% dos pacientes que apresentavam úlceras inferior a 8 cm² e duração menor que 9 semanas. O quinto artigo avaliou o microbioma da pele, observando elevadas proporções de Lactobacillus: Bacillusem em pacientes sem histórico de úlceras, e de Corynebacterium: Lactobacillus e Staphylococcus: Lactobacillus naqueles com lesões prévias. Considerações finais: apesar de promissoras, as evidências ainda são fracas, e recomenda-se que estudos futuros avaliem intervenções tópicas com foco em cura completa, em prazos de 12 e 24 meses, além de considerarem o perfil microbiano para prever refratariedade e recorrência.
