بلاغة التصوير في السياقات الحقيقية للكلمة
Authors: إبراهيم أحمد أبوالنجا خالد
Published: June 2024

إذا كانت الصياغة المجازية لها القدرة على تشكيل الصورة؛ فإن الصياغة الحقيقية ليست أقل منها شأناً في القدرة على التصوير الفني، حيث تمتلك المقدرة التصويرية والتأثيرية إذا وجدت من يحسن استخدام عناصرها، إذ ليس شرطاً أن تكون كل عبارات وكلمات العمل الأدبي صوراً مجازية، فقد تكون الكلمة أو العبارة مصورة  لموقف حاملة لتجربة دون أن تكون مجازية، فهناك من النصوص الأدبية صور رائعة رغم استعمالها استعمالاً حقيقياً إلا أنها تضع المشهد أمام المتلقي حياً نابضاً كأنه يراه عياناً مع أن الأسلوب في كلٍ منها لا يمت إلى المجاز بصلة، فيجسد أحاسيس المتكلم، وتحيل بصياغتها الفنية أفكاره ومعانيه إلى صورة حية يعيشها المتلقي ويدركها إدراكا حسياً، متبعاً المنهج الوصفي؛ لوصف وبيان الظاهرة التصويرية المراد دراستها، إضافة للمنهجية الموضوعية التي تتناول النصوص من مختلف جوانبها وتحليلها، بغرض إبراز القيمة التصويرية عبر الألفاظ وتفاعلها مع غيرها من الفنون البلاغية واللغوية، بهدف الإشارة لما يتميز به التصوير من روعة في التعبير، وخصوبة في التصوير، وبيان دوره خلال الاستعمال الاشتقاقي للألفاظ، وبيان أثره على التجربة الشعرية، والتنويه بدور التشكيلات التصويرية وغيرها من الفنون البلاغية الأخرى بين الحين والآخر؛ لما فيه من تقوية الصورة وتوثيقها.
          وقد توصلت الدراسة إلى النتائج التالية:

أثبتت الدراسة أن الاستخدام الحقيقي للألفاظ من الوسائل الجيدة للتصوير، وأنه ليس أقل قيمة من التصوير بالوسائل المجازية المختلفة، وتعد ضمن مستويات التأثير؛ حيث تحقق الاستفادة المرجوة منها في تجسيد الحقائق وتشخيصها.
للتصوير بالصيغ والاشتقاقات البنيوية للكلمة دورٌ بارزٌ تمثل في الوقوف جانب الصورة المجازية، صفاً واحداً والخروج بها مخرج القوة والأصالة.
تنوع الاشتقاقات جاء تابعاً لتنوع المعاني التي تصورها حقيقية كانت أم مجازية.
كشفت الدراسة عن قيمة التصوير بالاستخدام الحقيقي والمجازي للألفاظ بمعاونة غيره من الفنون البلاغية الأخرى، فكانت ضمن أدوات الشعراء في عرض تجاربهم وتجسيد أفكارهم.
بينت الدراسة أن الجمع بين المدلولين اللغوي والمجازي للألفاظ يقوي مدلول الصورة ويرفع شأنها.

Published: June 2024

Background: The success of complete dentures mainly depends on impression-making accuracy; thus, dentists need to select the proper impression materials and techniques to achieve optimal outcomes.
Objective: To determine the favoured impression materials and techniques used for complete denture construction among dentists practicing in the Central/Western regions of Libya.
Materials and Methods: This study was conducted between July 2023 and September 2023. The questionnaire was comprised of 30 questions, which were divided into two parts including; 11 questions for demographic and professional attitude and 19 questions focused on professional steps of complete denture fabrication for edentulous patients.
Results: The response rate for this questionnaire was (66%). It was revealed that (96.1%) of respondents used only irreversible hydrocolloid (alginate) as an ideal option for primary impressions. In response to the same question for final impressions, (45.8%) of participants exhibited that polyvinylsiloxane was the favourite choice. Regarding custom trays, (41.7%) of practitioners preferred using light-cured acrylic resin as a custom tray to take definitive impressions. (87.4%) of prosthodontists border molded the custom tray in sections by (81.9%), using modelling plastic impression compound by (92.1%). The most used philosophy for final impression making was the mucostatic impression technique by (50.4%), while (37.0%) used selective pressure and (12.6%) selected muco-compressive. Implant-supported overdenture was discussed as an alternative treatment by (65.4%). The obtained data was statistically analyzed using SPSS 28.
Conclusion: This study reflects a diversity of opinion among Libyan dentists during the construction of complete dentures. The most commonly used material for primary impression was irreversible hydrocolloid (alginate) and for final impression was polyvinylsiloxane, which coincides with professional practices worldwide. Modelling plastic impression compound was the most preferred material for border molding. The mucostatic technique was the predominantly used impression philosophy for final impression making.
Assessment of Economic and Environmental Impacts of using Green Hydrogen Gas for Generating Electricity in the KSA

Published: June 2024

The energy sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) faces serious challenges regarding its current energy mix and energy policies. These challenges are even more complex in the sphere of electricity generation. Where on one side, these challenges are attributed to the fast-growing domestic demand for electricity. While on the other side, KSA depends extensively on traditional fossil fuels for generating electricity and hence facing high rates of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. To address these challenges, the Kingdom’s 2030 vision opted for economic diversification and decarbonization by encouraging the transition towards using green hydrogen gas for electricity generation as a clean energy source. This attempt has been associated with measures addressing rationalization of the demand side for electricity. The objective of this paper is to explore the economic and environmental viability of using green hydrogen gas for generating electricity in KSA. Working toward this objective, an economic assessment has been applied to five hypothetical cases or scenarios to identify the most cost-effective (least expensive) to run the turbine generator at net zero CO2 emission. In addition, an assessment of the environmental impact has been applied to the same five hypothetical cases or scenarios to identify the most environmentally friendly i.e., help effectively to reduce or minimize the CO2 emissions. The findings of this assessment reject the economic viability of the transition towards using green hydrogen gas for electricity generation in the KSA, where the calculations of the five cases registered an inverse relation between the NPV and the use of green hydrogen gas in electricity generation. These findings confirm the environmental variability of this transition, where the calculations of the five cases registered a positive relation between decarburization and the use of green hydrogen gas in electricity generation. Based on these findings, the economic ramifications and viability of this transition require a thorough investigation addressing economic and non-economic aspects.
Local Splines and the Least Squares Method
Authors: Burova I. G.
Published: June 2024

The least squares method is widely used in processing quantitative results of natural science experiments, technical data, astronomical and geodetic observations and measurements. This paper proposes the construction of a modified least squares method based on the use of basis splines of a non-zero level. This modification allows us to obtain a continuously differentiable (required number of times) solution to the problem. The resulting solution is convenient to use to further solve other related problems. The construction of a continuously differentiable solution and a twice continuously differentiable solution is considered in more detail. These solutions are constructed based on the use of basis Hermitian splines of the fourth and sixth orders of approximation. The numerical results are presented for processing inaccurately specified experimental data, as well as for smoothing curves.

Interlaboratory Comparisons on the Determination of Total Activity of Drinking Water: What’s New?
Authors: Ovsyannikova Tat'yana , Gulynin Aleksandr , Bahur Aleksandr
Published: June 2024

Interlaboratory comparisons (ILCs) is an effective way to confirm the qualifications of laboratories performing mass screening of drinking water quality by the total radiation safety indicators (specific alpha and beta activity). By using two control samples (liquid and solid) with similar energy characteristics, close to the characteristics of calibration standards, we can identify inaccuracies at the stages of sample preparation and measurements, due to combining the study of the raw data presented in a visual form, correction for method bias (if necessary) and the robust estimates. Additionally, in determining acceptable results, it will be useful to apply non-statistical tolerances corresponding to the ILCs purposes. The influence of factors of incorrect sample preparation and calibration (graduation) was qualitatively assessed using the Rospotrebnadzor ILCs data (2021–2023) and the experimental laboratory studies

Authors: Гомес Диас Вассили Блаженой
Published: June 2024

Статья посвящена анализу теории вежливости в лингвистике и ее отражению в русском языке и культуре. Рассматриваются особенности вежливости в русском языке, связанные с проявлением внимания и интереса к собеседнику, солидарности и взаимопонимания. В русской культуре важными ценностями являются взаимное доверие, теплота и сердечность, которые отражаются в речевых стратегиях и средствах, указывающих на сокращение дистанции между собеседниками. Для русской коммуникативной культуры характерно непосредственное выражение эмоций. В официальных ситуациях преобладает формальная вежливость, а в бытовых – правила обращения менее строги. Отдельное внимание уделено новой форме вежливости в русской речи, которая проявляется в сфере сервиса и коммерческих отношений.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the theory of politeness in linguistics and its reflection in the Russian language and culture. The article considers the peculiarities of politeness in the Russian language associated with the manifestation of attention and interest in the interlocutor, solidarity and mutual understanding. In Russian culture, important values are mutual trust, warmth and cordiality, which are reflected in speech strategies and means that indicate a reduction in the distance between interlocutors. Russian communicative culture is characterized by the direct expression of emotions. In official situations, formal politeness prevails, and in everyday situations, the rules of treatment are less strict. Special attention is paid to a new form of politeness in Russian speech, which is manifested in the field of service and commercial relations.
Modern trends in the change of basic language concepts (using the example of the Russian language)
Authors: Чжао Юаньцзэ
Published: June 2024

Базовые концепты в любом языке имеют тенденцию к универсальности. Эпоха Новейшего времени, информатизация, переход к постиндустриальному социуму не могут не влиять на концепты как на лингвокультурные явления. Актуальность темы статьи связана с серьезными лингвокультурными изменениями на современном этапе – на фоне глобального духовного кризиса. Наша цель – рассмотрение трансформации базовых концептов на современном этапе в рамках русской культуры – с акцентом на концепте семьи. Высказывая собственные предположения на основе теоретического анализа, привлекая исследования, посвященные изменениям указанного концепта в прозе современной писательницы Л. Петрушевской, мы, применяя комплексную методику, приходим к выводу о тенденциях большей эмоциональности, личностно-психологической ориентированности концепта, большего его «социально-территориального» расширения как отражения психологического углубления, демократизации, социальной динамики современной эпохи.

Basic concepts in any language tend to be universalistic. At the same time, the era of Modern times, informatization, the transition to a post-industrial society cannot but influence concepts as linguistic and cultural phenomena. The relevance of the topic of our work is connected with serious linguistic and cultural shifts at the present stage – against the background of the spiritual crisis that has engulfed the world community. Despite the global cultural crisis, national languages (and with them national cultures) they are alive, so it makes sense to consider the change of basic concepts at the present stage within the framework of Russian culture, which has become the goal of our work. In particular, we have examined in more detail the important concept of family within the dynamics of Russian linguoculture. Expressing their own assumptions based on theoretical analysis; involving studies of trends in the change of this concept in the prose of modern writer L. Petrushevskaya. Using a complex methodology, we come to the conclusion about the tendencies of greater emotionality, personality-psychological orientation of the concept, its greater "socio-territorial" expansion as a reflection of psychological deepening, democratization, social dynamics of the modern era. The analysis is carried out against the background of the description of the specifics of the Russian linguistic and cultural system.

Europai susiduriant su energetine krize, kylant energijos kainoms, vartotojai ieško būdų kaip efektyviau panaudoti energiją ir sumažinti jos sąnaudas. Vienas iš pagrindinių Europos Sąjungos žaliojo kurso tikslų yra siekti statyti ir projektuoti aukštos energinės klasės pastatus su efektyviai veikiančiomis šildymo, vėdinimo ir oro kondicionavimo (ŠVOK) bei pastato valdymo sistemomis. Šiuo metu pastatuose didžiausią energijos dalį suvartoja ŠVOK sistemos ir dažnais atvejais jos suvartoja daugiau energijos nei planuota projektavimo / modeliavimo etape. Tokie atvejai galimi tuomet, kai projektuojant sistemas yra priimtos netinkamos prielaidos, sistemų valdymas nėra tinkamai sureguliuojamas ir apribojamas vartotojams. Straipsnyje analizuojamas realus administracinis pastatas ir remiantis ilgalaikiais stebėjimo rezultatais vertinamas jo vėdinimo sistemų efektyvumas. Išanalizavus patalpų CO2 užterštumo reikšmes stebėjimo laikotarpiu buvo pasiūlytos kelios valdymo priemonės, kurios padėtų sutaupyti energijos.
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND BUSINESS PERFORMANCE: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Nosková Marta , Taušl Procházková Petra , Zemanová Veronika
Published: June 2024

The circular economy represents an effective way to address limited resources and mitigate the impact of human activity on the planet. To summarize the possible effect of circular economy implementation on business performance and its possible measurement, a systematic literature review on a final sample of 28 papers was conducted. The main findings reveal that the circular economy can help to improve business performance and that numerous indicators could be used to measure it, especially the balanced scorecard approach, which seems suitable for such classification (however, more research on this topic is needed). Additionally, it was revealed that the circular economy concept itself has no clear and generally used definition, which complicates the summarizing of the revealed indicators. To simplify future research, we proposed a research framework based on this systematic literature review and emphasized the research gaps.

Forests are crucial in supporting biodiversity and providing ecosystem services. Understanding forest biodiversity dynamics under different management strategies and climate change scenarios is essential for effective conservation and management. This paper introduces the Forest Biodiversity Dynamics Prototype Digital Twin (pDT), integrating forest and biodiversity models to predict the effects of management options on forest ecosystems. The primary objective is to identify optimal management strategies that promote biodiversity, focusing on conservation and adaptation to different climate conditions. We start with the case of Finnish forests and bird species and plan to expand to include more European countries and a variety of species as the pDT is further developed.

African swine fever is a transmissible virus impacting wild and domestic swine populations. In Europe, it is non-native and the recently introduced genotype affects wild boar populations with occasional outbreaks in domestic pigs. The ability to predict short-term spatial dynamics of this disease will greatly improve our ability to control and limit future spread of the virus. The BioDT disease outbreaks prototype, currently in development, implements an individual-based landscape-level mechanistic model as a digital twin aimed at providing informed support for management decisions in response to the spread of African swine fever in European wild boar populations.
Faster free pseudoinverse greedy block Kaczmarz method for image recovery
Authors: Shi Wenya , Yan Xinpeng , Huan Zhan
Published: June 2024

The greedy block Kaczmarz (GBK) method has been successfully applied in areas such as data mining, image reconstruction, and large-scale image restoration. However, the computation of pseudo-inverses in each iterative step of the GBK method not only complicates the computation and slows down the convergence rate, but it is also ill-suited for distributed implementation. The leverage score sampling free pseudo-inverse GBK algorithm proposed in this paper demonstrated significant potential in the field of image reconstruction. By ingeniously transforming the problem framework, the algorithm not only enhanced the efficiency of processing systems of linear equations with multiple solution vectors but also optimized specifically for applications in image reconstruction. A methodology that combined theoretical and experimental approaches has validated the robustness and practicality of the algorithm, providing valuable insights for technical advancements in related disciplines.
Indirect stability of a 2D wave-plate coupling system with memory viscoelastic damping
Authors: Wang Peipei , Wang Yanting , Wang Fei
Published: June 2024

We performed a stability analysis of a 2D wave-plate coupling system equipped with memory viscoelastic damping. The study highlights the unique functionality of the damping mechanism, which operates indirectly and exclusively within either the wave or plate subsystem. The opposing subsystem receives dissipative signals indirectly through the coupling component. The primary objective of this study was to determine whether the indirect memory damping is sufficient to ensure the overall stability of the coupled system. To address this question, a frequency domain analysis was employed to establish explicit decay rates of the coupled system. Notably, a polynomial decay rate is observed when the memory damping is applied solely to either the plate or wave subsystem, which provides a conclusive answer to the posed question.

The Importance of Self-Reflection as a Learning Tool
Authors: Flynn Bonnie B.
Published: June 2024

Educators generally rely on external assessments such as tests, papers, and other gradable assignments to gauge the students' understanding of the college coursework and their attainment of learning objectives. Incorporating student self-reflection journals as part of the coursework can provide the instructor with another level of insight into the students' understanding of the course material on an intrinsic, qualitative level. It is important for this to be an organic process encouraging students to be open and honest with their comments. Instructor feedback should be encouraging and positive. Self-reflection journals can benefit students by providing insight as to whether they have understood their coursework, guide them to consider how they can apply their new learning to their professional and personal lives, and help them see how their learning relates to other coursework. There are benefits for instructors to keep teaching self-reflection journals to help with their own professional growth and development.
Use the 5 ROOTS of Effective Communication to Promote Your Writing
Authors: Wedan Steve
Published: June 2024

Storytellers have been the backbone of culture since the beginning of our species. They have created frameworks for understanding who we are and where we came from, and they outline what the future might be, whether that's a dream or a nightmare. Every story, whether it's fiction or non-fiction, needs to find its audience. A poem that a person writes in school has an audience of about 30, plus perhaps Mom and Dad. But all artists want a wider audience; it's why they create. For a writer, that means publication.

Anatomies and Dynamics of the Society-Mechanism
Authors: Dominici Piero
Published: June 2024

It was post-modernity that first told us that facts were now to be considered interpretations, whereupon the value of theorization diminished to the point where theories became little more than opinions. As a reaction, the reductionisms and determinisms that had previously been dismantled by a novel, non-Newtonian perspective returned as a “tyranny of concreteness,” foreshadowing tomorrow's post-normality. So, what then is “normality”? Human societies have always been wrapped in chaos, complexity, and contradictions: this is normal for all living beings and for all living systems. A volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) world, therefore, has always existed, and as such is perfectly normal and natural. Therefore, a science based on “post normality” should take into account that normality itself implicates unpredictability, uncertainty, and the impossibility of controlling or managing complexity, including the unexpected events called “black swans,” which are simply intrinsic features of the complex adaptive systems we inhabit.
