Authors: Campomar Mariana Seoane , De Marchi Renato José , Riva Federico , Celeste Roger Keller
Published: March 2024

Resumen El objetivo de este trabajo fue investigar la concepción de calidad de vida en adultos mayores uruguayos, procurando construir un modelo adaptado a ellos. Basado en Teoría Fundamentada, se realizó un estudio cualitativo entre 2017-2018 en varios departamentos de Uruguay. Se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a adultos mayores (edad promedio 71 años, DE 5,4) con muestreo teórico y por bola de nieve. Emergió teoría a través de la categoría madre “vivir lo mejor que se puede”, interpretada como la concepción de adultos mayores sobre calidad de vida. Los temas emergentes fueron: “eventos del contexto”, “vínculo con otros”, “actividades frente a la vida” y “estrategias de adaptación”. Al enfrentar eventos estresantes, los participantes desarrollan estrategias de adaptación por medio del soporte social y locus interno de control, para alcanzar calidad de vida y un envejecimiento exitoso. La evidencia empírica desarrollada a partir de esta investigación cualitativa retrata un modelo establecido en un contexto etario y cultural específico, en el que interactúan dimensiones sociales y psicológicas para enfrentar el envejecimiento y alcanzar calidad de vida.
A Review on Protease Inhibitors of Herbal Origin to Combat Malignancy
Authors: Bhattacharya Sanjib
Published: March 2024

Protease is the enzyme accountable for the breakdown of proteins i.e., proteolysis. Proteases are reportedly involved in the events of growth, development, progression and metastasis of cancers. If any agent could inhibit/retard the protease enzyme, i.e., protease inhibitor, it would arrest the cancer; thus indicating the significance of exploring protease inhibitors for latest anti-malignant drug discovery. Higher plants are the rich sources of different protease inhibitors that are effective against several types of malignancies both at preclinical and clinical stages. Natural protease inhibitors of herbal origin have both cancer chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic properties together with inhibitory activity against different types of pertinent proteases. Clinically, these herbal agents are found to be safe unlike the synthetic antineoplastic agents. Further studies in this direction are necessary in pursuit of newer generation drugs without adverse reactions for the prevention and treatment of malignancies.

In this study, a developed easy-operation method was adopted to generate ultralight and compressible graphene aerogels by using graphene oxide and ammonia. By changing the process parameters, such as reduction temperature, reducing agent content and ammonia concentration, the variation laws of the density and pore size of aerogels were obtained, which aided in realizing the controllable preparation of aerogel structures. The prepared graphene aerogel has good compressive performance, and its density can reach 5.26 mg/cm3. Although it was repeatedly compressed 200 times under a load that was 4000 times as large as its own weight, it maintained its structural integrity and mechanical properties. An ideal model of three-dimensional graphene aerogel was constructed, and the electromagnetic wave absorption performance was simulated using the Computer Simulation Technology (CST) Microwave Studio software. The results showed that when the thickness, pore size and height of the sheet were 1.4, 5 and 14 mm, respectively, an optimal electromagnetic wave absorption effect of −31.08 dB could be obtained. Furthermore, the effects of thickness, pore size and height of the sheet on the electromagnetic wave absorption performance are revealed, which provide a reference for the structural design of aerogels with both compressibility and electromagnetic wave absorption performance.

Authors: Stockhusen Knut , Schnubel Andreas , Ihtiyar Onur , Elshafie Mohammed Z. E. B. , Al-Nuaimi Nasser A.
Published: March 2024

The structures of the Al Thumama Stadium, built for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, can be categorised into four main building components. The permanent bowl structure with lower and middle tiers is mainly cast-in-place reinforced concrete with precast seating units. Structural steel was used for the upper tier stands, to be dismantled for legacy conversion after the tournament. The roof and façade system use steel and cable systems with a unique membrane cladding design derived from the cultural gahfiya symbol. The roof is a self-anchored tension–compression ring system based on the principle of a horizontal spoked wheel, with one compression ring along the outer perimeter and two tension rings along the oculus. The façade consists of lightweight double-layered and prestressed cable nets spanning between curved vertical beams. A translucent polytetrafluoroethylene-coated glass fibre membrane with highly transparent mesh inserts form the cladding of the stadium, providing its unique architectural design. This article gives an overview of the stadium's design and construction methodology.
Analiza oddziaływania warunków środowiskowych i agrotechnicznych na wzrost, rozwój i plonowanie owsa oraz ocena możliwości ograniczenia śladu węglowego w jego uprawie
Authors: Ratajczak Karolina

The variability of individual oat development periods was more strongly modified by rainfall than by air temperature. The optimal precipitation for the size of oat grain yield in the period from tillering to stalk shooting and from kernel development to wax maturity was 51.5 mm and 124.5 mm, respectively. The hulled form of oats (‘Bingo’) yielded an average approximately 36.6% higher than the naked form (‘Nagus’). Moreover, the naked form was characterized by greater variability of the grain yield and its components compared to the hulled form. The hulled oat form reacted with a greater yield decrease due to unfavourable weather conditions. Irrigation was a factor stabilizing the oat yield. In both forms of oats, irrigation reduced by half the coefficients of yield variation, and in the naked form, the decrease in the value of the coefficients of variation also applied to all yield components. The yield of oats increased by 23.1% under the influence of irrigation. This increase was due to the improvement in the yield components. Oat irrigation increased the thousand-grain weight by 5.6%, the number of tassels per unit area by 13.4%, and did not affect the number of grains in the panicle. Irrigation increased the oat grain yield at each of the applied nitrogen doses, and this increase ranged from 0.25 t∙ha–1 in oats cultivated without nitrogen fertilization to 1.28 t∙ha–1 in the objects fertilized with the dose of 100 kg N∙ha –1. Under irrigation conditions, the increase in the oat grain yield as a result of the intensification of nitrogen fertilization in the tested range was observed up to the dose of 147 kg N∙ha–1. Agricultural and physiological efficiency, as well as the use of nitrogen from mineral fertilizers by oats, decreased with the increase in nitrogen dose, while the values of CO2 emission clearly increased and at the dose of 150 kg N∙ha–1 generated the largest increase in emissions, amounting to 55.2% compared to the control. Increasing the efficiency of fertilization by adapting to the cultivated form of oats makes it possible to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

NOSSAS PEQUENAS RUÍNAS, NOSSAS FORMAS DE VIDA
Authors: Martins Bruno Guimarães , Vieira William David
Published: March 2024

Partindo de uma caminhada de regresso por uma rua da cidade-natal (Ouro Preto, em Minas Gerais) de um dos autores deste texto, este trabalho pensa como o espaço urbano se mobiliza enquanto sentido em formação durante a memória recuperada no exercício de andar. Em outras palavras, o presente artigo reflete sobre como a cidade construída se aguça e se multiplica (se reconstrói) na caminhada e nas reverberações memoriais de um sujeito que percorreu outras vezes o mesmo espaço. Logo, surge metodologicamente o seguinte percurso: um relato sobre a caminhada, escrito após esta ocorrência, e acionamentos conceituais demandados por esse registro. A partir disso, é possível compreender que cada pedaço que compõe a cidade se verifica como um passado aparentemente perdido, de pequenas ruínas (enquanto sucessões anteriores) ocorridas, mas onde residem formas de vida: onde podemos nos encontrar como seres em movimento, tal qual o próprio espaço urbano.
IDEOLOGIA E A CORROSÃO DO ESTADO EM DUPLA IDENTIDADE (2014)
Authors: Maurey Andrei
Published: March 2024

É imprescindível para uma sociedade a compreensão da mídia como uma fonte produtora de sentidos e a formação de cidadãos com plenas capacidades de reflexão crítica sobre seus conteúdos. Com isso em mente, este artigo visa demonstrar como os interesses das classes são antagônicos no capitalismo e providenciar uma discussão sobre a ideologia como parte da subjetividade humana, cujas ações interpelam os indivíduos e os qualificam para as várias funções que eles exercerão na sociedade. Além disso, incluirei os mecanismos de sujeição e obediência que atuam para garantir o domínio das classes dominantes sobre os dominados. Isto posto, através de uma análise marxista da série Dupla Identidade (2014), buscarei evidenciar como a sua narrativa faz uso destes elementos para realizar a inversão dos interesses de classe, apresentando os interesses particulares das classes dominantes sob a máscara dos interesses universais ao promover um quadro pessimista de corrosão do Estado e de seus aparelhos.

A violência contra a mulher é um problema social grave e recorrente no Brasil. Os meios de comunicação, ao atuar no processo de socialização, podem influenciar tanto no reforço da violência quanto no combate dela. No que tange a violência contra a mulher, observa-se que a mesma, cotidianamente, é reportada nas notícias. O presente artigo, nessa direção, tem como objetivo analisar a cobertura jornalística da violência contra a mulher no Jornal do Tocantins entre os anos de 2015 e 2017 e a estratégia metodológica utilizada foi a análise de conteúdo. Os resultados apontaram que os casos de violência contra a mulher com maior gravidade ou repercussão, chegaram até o jornal constituindo- se em notícias, contudo de forma factual sem fomentar discussões problematizadas que poderiam contribuir para o avanço na igualdade entre os gêneros partindo de uma produção de notícias com perspectiva de direitos.
3D Local Earthquake Tomography of the Andaman–Nicobar Subduction Zone Using Ocean-Bottom Seismometer Data
Authors: Mahesh Perugu , Sribin Chirevengatt , Dewangan Pawan , Yatheesh Vadakkeyakath , Gupta Sandeep
Published: March 2024

The Andaman–Nicobar (A–N) subduction zone is one of the most seismically active subduction zones of the world where the Indian plate subducts beneath the Burmese–Sunda plate. Imaging the subducting Indian plate (SIP) geometry in this region is important to understand the subduction process, earthquake genesis, and associated seismic hazards. Therefore, we imaged the SIP for the first time using local earthquake data recorded from a network of nine ocean-bottom seismometers and six surface seismic stations. We inverted 2819 P and 2171 S phases picked from 410 local earthquakes recorded between December 2013 and May 2014 to obtain the tomographic images in the A–N region. The images show high-VP and VP/VS anomalies linked to colder and thicker SIP in the A–N region. We also observed seismic signatures of strong structural heterogeneity all along the SIP. The low-velocity anomaly at 60–100 km depth beneath the Andaman back-arc spreading center indicates mantle upwelling. Likewise, low-VP anomalies beneath the active volcano Barren Island indicate production of arc magmas by slab dehydration and corner flow in the mantle wedge.
Lomalinda: enclave de un proyecto moderno-colonial. Notas sobre el Instituto Lingüístico de Verano en Colombia
Authors: Franco Luis Gerardo
Published: March 2024

From the 1950s to the 1990s, the Instituto Lingüístico de Verano (ILV) was present in Colombia. It worked on the indoctrination of indigenous communities by translating the New Testament into their languages. This article presents an approach to the actions of the ILV in the country and attempts to outline its relationships with the institutional framework of the Colombian State and with the establishment of anthropology in the country. In this line, based on a documentary and ethnographic approach, the historical trajectory of the ILV is traced and its project is framed as a modern-colonial project. Among the results, it is proposed that the relationship between the ILV and Colombian anthropology was tangential in nature and was referred to the confluence of interests in indigenous policies and to a critical positioning of some anthropologists.

The Synaesthetic Image of Daisy and the Philistine American Dream in The Great Gatsby
Authors: Liu Qionglin
Published: March 2024

Fitzgerald’s representative work The Great Gatsby depicts the American society in the “Jazz Age” when materialism and consumerism prevail, reflecting the disillusionment of the American Dream. In the novel, Daisy is the embodiment of the American Dream, and her image is of great importance for a deeper understanding of the essence of the American Dream. In shaping and portraying Daisy’s image, synaesthesia that combines auditory and visual senses is widely used. Therefore, the theory of synesthesia is applied to analyze Daisy’s synaesthetic image from two perspectives of auditory field with colors and visual field with sound, and thus explore the essence of the philistine American Dream under the influence of materialism—it is seemingly beautiful and brilliant, but actually philistine, materialistic, morally corrupted and full of falsity.

PROBLEMS AND CLASSIFICATION OF MODERN DYSTOPIA (Ukrainian and World Literature)
Authors: Andreichykova O. A.
Published: March 2024

The article examines the specific features of modern dystopia, the themes and issues of the genre. The object of research is modern dystopian novels of the World and Ukrainian literature.
In contrast to the 20th century, the concepts of critical, feminist, digital, national (in the context of multiculturalism) dystopia were included in the literary circulation of dystopia researchers of the 21st century. Specific groups and their genre subspecies are distinguished.
The article also notes that the relevance of dystopia is primarily related to socio-cultural and geopolitical catastrophes and destructive systems: wars, harsh government, tyrannical empires, authoritarianism and totalitarianism — all this breaks the utopian consciousness. And although the dream, consonant with utopia, is organic for man, as it turned out, it is unacceptable for the modern world order.
GENRE CONVERGENCE AS A SIGN OF TEXT CREATION OF THE PLAY «GOD OF CARNAGE» BY YASMINA REZA
Authors: Podkovyroff Nanouchka Tatiana Sonia
Published: March 2024

Postmodernism as a characteristic feature of the literary process of the second half of the 20th century is a good basis for author’s experiments both at the level of form and content of an artistic work. Yasmina Reza, as one of the leading French playwrights of the period, resorts to an experiment at the level of language and genre in her play “The God of Massacre”. The evaluation of the play by critics is ambiguous, in turn, the text of the play is analyzed in the article from the point of view of implementing the conditions of the boulevard theater and the “theatre of possibilities”, because the technique of presenting the text is important here. It is proven that the experimental nature of the play by the French playwright Yasmina Reza “The God of Massacre” is realized through spectacularity and theatricality, which are distinguished as essential features of modern French drama. A domestic plot, the presence of intrigue, good literary language, irony and humor used to describe the characters - all these are signs of a “quality-made play” from the repertoire of the commercial theater and are evidence of the play’s belonging to the boulevard theater. We define the mixing of literary genres and types that characterizes a postmodern text as genre convergence and genre diffusion. The concepts of convergence and diffusion are not synonymous. By genre convergence, we understand the interpenetration of differently oriented impulses, which leads to the emergence of hybrid, centauric forms. The melodramatic component in the text has its role and function and retains its influence on the text and its genre nature, the comedic and dramatic respectively perform their own functions. But with the interaction of the melodramatic, dramatic, comedic, absurdist genre of the play as a whole, it becomes mosaic, multi-colored, stereoscopic, polyphonic. Diffusion is distinguished by the blurring of the boundaries of generic and species forms, the interpenetration of one species into another. The epic elements present in the text are a manifestation of diffusion. Genre polyphony, language play and irony, sometimes sarcasm give full right to consider the play as an example of high literature.

Measures to Reconcile Work and Family	Life	for Public Administration Staff in Spain
Authors: Ríos Juan Luis García
Published: March 2024

This article aims to analyse the peculiarity of the measures encompassed under the concept of work-life balance within the scope of Public Administrations in Spain and in reference to the staff working in the service of these Administrations. The aim is not only to analyse the structure of these measures as a whole, but also to show how the complexity of the public employment model in Spain, together with the territorial and administrative organisation, is clearly reflected in the public employment model and, by extension, in the work-life balance measures from a legal point of view. Analysing this model, which aims to make work-life balance a reality in the field of public employment, is relevant at this time due to the important changes in terms of work-life balance which are taking place in the context of the European Union and which are consequently reflected in the internal legal system of the Member States, where the impact on public administration staff has a peculiarity, which needs to be analysed and highlighted in order to understand a dispersed, complex and unfinished model.
Food for Life: Galen’s "On Health" ("De sanitate tuenda")
Authors: Wilkins John
Published: March 2024

In Galen’s view, health was a natural state and disease unnatural. If a body became unwell, balance was best restored by adjustments to daily life, in particular to the environment, food and drink, exercise, sleep, physiological balance and mental health. If none of these worked, only then should drugs or more drastic treatments be considered. Galen sets out in On Health how the natural state is best preserved, starting from birth, through childhood, to adulthood and old age. There are several features to be noted, not least the relentlessly male focus (with childbirth the major area of consideration for women specifically) and the use of the idealised young man as the canon against which to measure all bodies. This latter feature has led commentators to suppose that Galen only has the leisured rich class in mind, wrongly I believe. Two recent translations in the Loeb series (Johnston) and in the CUP Galen series (Singer forthcoming) have made the text readily available to all, and further discussion is timely. In my paper I will focus on Galen’s use of diet and massage to keep the body healthy. I shall also consider the unhealthy body which takes up the last three of the six books, as the life span nears later age and greater fragility. Even here, Galen prefers food and gentle remedies to bloodletting and drugs (which are in effect often stronger versions of food plants). Galen claims that this regime has kept him healthy for 50 years, despite his less than perfect constitution and lifestyle. He is thus a doctor who experiments on himself to promote a lifestyle which, he claims, should, after an initial assessment, maintain the patient without need of a doctor for life.
Rus and Khazars
Authors: Howard-Johnston James
Published: March 2024

The southern thrust of the Rus in the ninth–tenth centuries is to be explained not only by Viking hunger for wealth and glory, but also by the large, rapidly growing market for furs in the Caliphate. In order to reach that market, the Rus had to cross the Khazars’ sphere of influence in the steppes and wooded steppes of the Volga and Don regions. The khaganate was a great power, which presided over many client peoples. It was perhaps awareness of the potential threat posed by the Rus which prompted the Khazars to improve their northern defences in the 830s. There is clear evidence that they then extended their authority over the Rus, their khagan being acknowledged as Rus ruler. The subsequent history of the Rus, up to their successful rebellion in 965, can only be understood if account is taken of Khazar influence and of wider geopolitical circumstances. The following propositions, all to some extent conjectural, are put forward: (1) that the first Rus attack on Constantinople in 860 was a show of force, timed to coincide with several Arab raids on Byzantine territory, and that it was initiated by the Khazars at the urging of the central Abbasid authorities; (2) that Byzantium was seeking a useful ally both against the Balkan Bulgars and against the Sajids of Azerbaijan, when it offered substantial trade concessions to the Rus in 911, that no objection was made by the Khazars, who had recently faced problems from the Oghuz Turks and their Pecheneg clients, and that the treaty resulted in a damaging Rus raid in the Caspian region after 912–913; (3) that there was a serious deterioration in Khazar-Byzantine relations in the 920s; (4) that the second Rus attack on Constantinople in 941 (this time in great force) was instigated by the Khazars, in response to an abortive Rus rebellion; and (5) that the Rus subsequently patched up relations with the Khazars, who allowed them to invade Azerbaijan in 944–945, and made peace with the Byzantines, signing a new trade treaty in 944. Apart from some evidence of assimilation of Khazar customs, it was the division of the Rus into twenty or so distinct principalities which was the principal longterm outcome of Khazar influence.

A suite of novel brominated flame retardants (NBFRs), hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDDs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and dechlorane plus were measured in matched samples of house dust (n = 47) and human breast milk (n = 40) from Denmark sampled in 2007, i.e., shortly after PBDE restrictions were implemented in Europe providing a valuable reference point. The most abundant BFR in breast milk was BDE-153 with a median concentration of 0.79 ng/g lipid followed by BDE-47 (median: 0.61 ng/g lipid) and BDE-209 (median: 0.53 ng/g lipid). Levels of bis(2-ethylhexyl) tetrabromophthalate (BEH-TEBP) were comparable (median: 0.78 ng/g lipid); however, they were based on fewer samples. α-HBCDD was the most abundant HBCDD in breast milk (median: 0.24 ng/g lipid) and detected in all samples. The house dust samples were dominated by BDE-209 (median: 432 ng/g) and γ-HBCDD (median: 177 ng/g); among the NBFRs, the highest levels were found for decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE) (median: 86.2 ng/g) and BEH-TEBP (median: 26.7 ng/g). BDE-28, 47 and 153 were significantly correlated between breast milk and serum (rs = 0.73-0.81, P < 0.0001); however, this was not the case for any of the NBFRs. Intake estimates for a 3-month-old infant indicated that for most of the flame retardants, breast milk was by far the dominant route of exposure, whereas dust only contributed substantially for BDE-209, γ-HBCDD, and to some extent α-HBCDD. This study is the first to report on human exposure to NBFRs in Denmark and shows that internal exposure levels of NBFRs were similar to those of most PBDEs already at the time of PBDE restrictions.
Arginine modification of hybrid cobalt/nitrogen Ti3C2Tx MXene and its application as a sulfur host for lithium-sulfur batteries

The shuttling effect of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) is one of the challenges facing the commercialization, which leads to a significant capacity degradation. This paper proposes a novel method to promote polysulfide transformation by employing arginine to regulate the layer spacing of cobalt-nitrogen doped Ti3C2Tx MXene (Co-N@Ti3C2Tx-Arg). The results revealed that arginine effectively extended the interlayer spacing and promoted the homogeneous dispersion of Co and N atoms, thus endowing the sulfur host with a high catalytic activity during the charging and discharging processes. The extended interlayer spacing increased the specific surface area and captured sufficient LiPSs for subsequent catalytic conversions, while the Co and N doping on the surface of Ti3C2Tx significantly promoted the rapid conversion of the LiPSs to Li2S. Therefore, the S cathode coated with Co-N@Ti3C2Tx-Arg exhibited an excellent cycling stability with a low-capacity fading rate of 0.083% over 200 cycles in addition to a high reversible capacity of 1,365.4 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C.

This work explores the kinetics of producing sustainable hydrocarbons from oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) fiber. A one-step global model was used to study the dynamics of the EFB fiber using the Coats and Redfern (CR) model-fitting kinetics technique. The non-isothermal iso-conversional methods of Friedman (FD), Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS), and Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO) were also examined. Different heating rates (5, 10, and 15°C/min) were used for the thermogravimetric analysis. The best-fitting equations were used to fit the CR model and determine the thermodynamic parameters. The reaction is diffusion regulated by nucleation and nuclei growth models, according to the Zhuravlev-Lasokin-Tempelman model, which produced the highest regression value and the best acceptable fit. Out of all the model-free methods, FD showed the greatest apparent activation energy levels when compared to the iso-conversion methods KAS and FWO. The changes in entropy (−123 to 135), Gibbs free energy (150–156 kJ/mol), and activation enthalpy (63–71 kJ/mol) were computed using the best-fitting model. The maximum apparent activation energy was found using the FD iso-conversion technique.
Bifurcation of Solutions of Ornstein-Zernike Equation in the Gas-Liquid Coexistence Region of Simple Fluids
Authors: MENON S.V.G.
Published: March 2024

One objective of this paper is to investigate bifurcation of solutions of Ornstein-Zernike equation in liquid state theory for the gas-liquid coexistence region of simple fluids. The analysis uses a discrete form of the Ornstein-Zernike equation in real space, together with a closure relation which provides nearly self consistent thermodynamic properties of fluids governed by interaction potentials like the Lennard-Jones potential. Accurate asymptotic forms of correlation functions are incorporated in the real space algorithm so as to mitigate the influence of cutoff length used in the discrete approximations. It is found that there is no spinodal on the vapor side on a sub-critical isotherm. But there are fold bifurcation points on the vapor and liquid sides together with a 'no-real-solution-region' in between. This is followed by a region of negative compressibility extending up to the spinodal on the liquid side. The emerging picture is quite similar to that in the case of the hypernetted-chain-closure. It is also found that complex solutions connect the physical solutions that exist outside the 'no-real-solution-region' as well as in region of negative compressibility. The second objective of the paper, in the light of bifurcation scenario, is to evolve an interpretation of the coupling-parameter expansion of correlation functions pertaining to the region of negative compressibility. It is shown that the expansion provides an accurate description of results of the restricted ensembles, implied in mean field theories and simulation methods. Bifurcation of singlet density to inhomogeneous distributions at a spinodal is also established using a simple equation, which uses the direct correlation function. Thus the paper reestablishes the fact that restriction to a homogeneous singlet density is the root cause of all inconsistencies found in the gas-liquid coexistence region.
Only Euclidean Relativity Provides a Holistic View of Nature
Authors: Niemz Markolf H.
Published: March 2024

Special and general relativity (SR/GR) describe nature “subjectively”, that is, from the perspective of just one observer at a time (one group of observers, to be exact). Mathematically, SR/GR are correct. I show: (1) Physically, SR/GR have an issue. Despite the covariance of SR/GR, there is always just one active perspective. Because of this constraint, there is no holistic view of nature. The issue shows itself in unsolved mysteries. Still, the Lorentz factor and gravitational time dilation are correct. This is why the concepts of spacetime in SR/GR work well except for cosmology and quantum mechanics. (2) Euclidean relativity (ER) describes nature “objectively”, that is, from the perspectives of all objects at once. Any (!) object’s proper space d1, d2, d3 and proper time τ span natural spacetime, which is 4D Euclidean space (ES) if we interpret cτ as d4. All energy moves through ES at the speed c. An observer’s reality is created by projecting ES orthogonally to his proper space and to his proper time. In SR, these concepts are considered coordinate space and coordinate time. Neither their reassembly to a non-Euclidean spacetime nor the parameterization in SR/GR provides a holistic view. The scalar τ, in particular, cannot factor in an object’s 4D vector “flow of proper time” τ. However, the SO(4) symmetry of ES is incompatible with waves. This is fine because waves and particles are subjective concepts. We must learn to distinguish between an observer’s reality (described by SR/GR) and the master reality ES (described by ER). ER solves 15 mysteries at once.
