EXOS: EXCEL PACKAGE FOR THE ANALYSIS OF ONTOGENETIC SPECTRA OF PLANT POPULATIONS
Authors: ЖИВОТОВСКИЙ Л.А.
Published: July 2024

Согласно схеме возрастной периодизации онтогенеза растений, предложенной Т. А. Работновым и А. А. Урановым, выделяют более десятка основных возрастных (онтогенетических) состояний. Каждая популяционная выборка представляет собой упорядоченный ряд частот встречаемости растений в этих состояниях - так называемый онтогенетический спектр (ОС). Соответственно форме ОС, отражающей бóльшую или меньшую представленность в популяции молодых, зрелых и старых растений и позволяющей представить временнýю динамику популяции, имеются различные статистики ОС. Представленный пакет ExOS (Excel Ontogenetic Spectrum) позволяет автоматически вычислять и анализировать их. Входной информацией являются численность или частота онтогенетических состояний в выборке. Выходные данные: классификация ОС и типы ценопопуляции по различным критериям, популяционно-онтогенетические индексы; для множественных выборок - сходство (дистанции) между ними и их ординация по осям “дельта - омега”; в автоматическом режиме дается соответствующая графика.

According to the scheme of age periodization of plant ontogenesis proposed by T. A. Rabotnov and A. A. Uranov, about a dozen of main age (ontogenetic) states are distinguished. Each population sample represents an ordered series of frequencies of occurrence of plants at these states - the so-called ontogenetic spectrum (OS). Various OS statistics are available according to the form of the OS, reflecting a greater or lesser representation of young, mature or old plants in the population and allowing to represent the temporal dynamics of the population. The Excel Ontogenetic Spectrum (ExOS) package presented allows their automatic computation and analysis. The input data are the numbers or frequencies of ontogenetic states in the sample. Output data: classifications of OS and cenopopulation types according to various criteria, population-ontogenetic indices; for multiple population samples - similarity (distances) between them and their ordination on "delta-omega" axes; the corresponding diagrams are captured authomatically.

The First Step Towards Increasing Female Participants in the Olympiads in Informatics in Japan
Authors: YAMAGUCHI Rie Shigetomi , ITO Tetsushi
Published: July 2024

In recent years, with women’s social advancement, we have been asked in various
locations to “increase the proportion of women in society.” Of course, the voices are particularly loud in the field of information technology in which we are engaged. However, direct use of female quotas, that is, blatantly lowering the threshold only for women, may lead to reverse discrimination. On the other hand, since including women themselves may change the criteria for selection, it is difficult to strike a balance between the two. In Japanese Olympiads in Informatics (JOI), we have received similar questions from various quarters. We are all trying to think hard about it. In this article, we shall explain the first step towards increasing the number of female participants in JOI.
Biological diversity detected in two deteriorated Cuban cinematographic films that contribute to their biodegrading
Authors: Borrego Sofia , Vivar Isbel
Published: July 2024

The cinematographic films are a reproduced version of reality and have become vital documents to study everything around us. For their preservation it is necessary to study the biodeterioration of these documents. The aims of this study were to characterize the biodeterioration caused mainly by microorganisms in two cinematographic films by applying molecular methodologies, electron microscopy and epifluorescence microscopy as well as to determine the enzymatic characterization of the fungal species isolated. From the Cuban Institute for Cinematographic Industry and Arts (ICAIC) the samples on two damaged cinematographic films were collected. The films were analyzed by different microscopic techniques, including the two types of electron microscopy. Also, the degradative potential of the isolated fungi was determined by qualitative evaluation of the enzymatic activities. A significant fungal colonization on both sides of the films and the damages caused by these microorganisms in the material were observed as well as the exoskeletons of dust mites of the families Tydeidae and Tarsonemidae as part of biofouling that were used as nutrients by the fungi. By epifluorescence microscopy was observed that some of the microorganisms were still viable and active. Using molecular biology techniques could be identified several species corresponding to the fungal genera Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Penicillium and Microascus as well as the bacteria genera Bacillus, Staphylococcus and Kocuria, which were responsible of the biodeterioration of these films. All isolated fungal species were capable to degrade the cellulose and gelatin as well as to excrete organic acids and pigments. Bacteria were detected in low concentrations as well as other biological agents, but it was observed that the films were being colonized by a high concentration of various fungal species with a significant biodeteriogenic potential, demonstrating that they were severely affecting the films.
¿Un mero formalismo? Orígenes institucionales de las evaluaciones de impacto ambiental en Costa Rica
Authors: González Rojas Sara , Josephy Hernández Irene Lucía
Published: July 2024

El presente artículo analiza cómo el conflicto político alrededor de la regulación ambiental sostenible por parte del Estado ha incidido en el diseño institucional de la Secretaría Técnica Nacional Ambiental (SETENA) y de las Evaluaciones de Impacto Ambiental (EIA), a través del estudio del proceso político de creación de la SETENA. La investigación se fundamentó en la ecología política como ‘macro-teoría’ y el institucionalismo histórico como teoría de alcance medio. Asimismo, se empleó un enfoque exploratorio y cualitativo. El análisis se realizó a través de técnicas de investigación como el análisis de coyuntura, las entrevistas semiestructuradas y el análisis documental. Finalmente, la investigación concluyó que, durante el periodo de estudio, se privilegió a ciertos grupos en cuanto a su participación en los espacios donde se ha definido el funcionamiento de la SETENA y el sistema de las EIA en Costa Rica. La manera en la que se diseñó esta institución y el sistema de EIA reflejan las tensiones propias de la definición del uso del medio ambiente y el desarrollo sostenible.
Planificación familiar en Costa Rica: discusiones, polarización y la Conferencia sobre Población de El Cairo, 1978-1994
Authors: Jiménez Bolaños José Daniel
Published: July 2024

Los servicios de planificación familiar empezaron a desarrollarse oficialmente en Costa Rica a finales de la década de 1960, durante sus primeros años de existencia fueron impulsados por organizaciones privadas en conjunto con instituciones estatales. Con el gobierno de Rodrigo Carazo, a partir de 1978, el programa fue criticado en el marco de la formulación de una política de población. Durante la década de 1980 la planificación familiar fue objeto de debate público y los medios de comunicación se configuraron en plataformas que permitieron el intercambio de opiniones a favor y en contra. Este artículo tiene por objetivo analizar el despliegue discursivo que se dio en esos años, a partir de fuentes periodísticas y documentos estatales. Entre las principales críticas hacia estos servicios estaba la idea de que en el país se consolidaba una política antinatalista, la cual seguía los lineamientos de organizaciones extranjeras, mientras que los sectores que apoyaron la planificación familiar enfatizaron que siempre se trató de un derecho y un servicio voluntario. Las discusiones se transformaron en 1994 cuando se desarrolló la Conferencia Internacional sobre Población en El Cairo, destacándose posiciones a favor y en contra de su Plan de Acción. Los ejes del debate global sobre población viraron hacia otros aspectos como los derechos reproductivos y las relaciones entre personas del mismo sexo. Se concluye que, para entender las coordenadas de los debates actuales en torno a los sectores autodenominados “provida” y las luchas por la autodeterminación de los cuerpos, es necesario una visión histórica que tome en cuenta estos antecedentes.

Achieving energy efficiency and sustainability in galvanization process: A case study on Indian tower manufacturing industry
Authors: Verma Neha , Sharma Vinay , Bhiradi Ishwar , Parihar Rityuj Singh , Jain Naveen
Published: July 2024

There is a significant gap between India’s energy production and its demand. Dependency on energy imports to meet the energy requirement affects the economic growth & overall development. The manufacturing sector consumes a substantial portion of the country’s energy but also holds considerable potential for reducing consumption. This paper presents a case study on an Indian tower manufacturing industry, aiming to achieve energy efficiency and sustainability in the galvanization process through the application of the statistical tool Design of Experiments (DOE). By systematic implementation of 22 factorial model of DOE, the study identified that the excessive zinc coating thickness is the major cause of energy consumption in hot-dip batch galvanization process (HDBGP). It was found that average LPG consumption is minimized at moderate coating thickness. Applying DOE resulted in a 38.67% reduction in LPG consumption when the zinc coating thickness was maintained at a moderate level in HDBGP. DOE provides a systematic mechanism based on experimental data to identify potential causes of problems and offers statistical validation of results. This research focuses on creating an energy-efficient production system and demonstrates the practical application of statistical tools and techniques to achieve sustainable competitive advantages.

Highlights

Experimental work using the Design of Experiments tool identified excessive zinc coating thickness as the primary cause of high energy consumption in the hot-dip batch galvanization process.

Validation of optimized parameters showed that average energy consumption is minimized at moderate coating thickness, resulting in a 38.67% reduction in energy usage.

Design of experiments tool provides a systematic mechanism based on experimental data to identify potential causes of problems and offers successful validation of results.

Discussion

While the significant reduction in LPG consumption enhances energy efficiency and sustainability, excess reduction in coating thickness may compromise the quality and durability of galvanized products, potentially leading to higher long-term costs for maintenance and replacements.

Additionally, the focus on statistical tools like DOE alone could divert attention from exploring alternative potential energy-saving technologies and methods that might offer greater benefits.

Therefore, it is also essential to consider the broader implications and potential limitations of various approaches in the quest for sustainability and competitive advantage suitable for the existing manufacturing setups.

MODELING HEAT TRANSFER DURING SOLAR-INDUCED MELTING OF LAKE AND SEA ICE
Authors: Dombrovsky Leonid A.
Published: July 2024

Solar heating and ice melting on the water surface is an important geophysical problem that has attracted the attention of researchers for many years. It is essential in connection with global climate change on our planet. A simple and sufficiently accurate physical model of the process is proposed, combining analytical solutions for the solar radiation transfer in light-scattering snow cover and an ice layer with numerical calculations of transient heat transfer in a multilayer system. The boundary conditions for the heat transfer problem consider convective heat losses to the cold
air and radiative cooling of the open surface in the mid-infrared window of transparency of the cloudless atmosphere.
Much attention is paid to modeling the anomalous spring melting of ice covering the large high-mountain lakes of
Tibet, the Earth's third pole. It was found that a thick ice layer not covered with snow starts to melt at the ice-water
interface due to the volumetric solar heating of ice. The results of the calculations are in good agreement with the field observations. The computational analysis shows a dramatic change in the process when the ice surface is covered with snow. A qualitative change in the physical picture of the process occurs when the snow cover thickness increases to 20-30 cm. In this case, the snow melting precedes ice melting and water ponds are formed on the ice's surface. This is a typical situation for the Arctic Sea ice cover during the polar summer. Known experimental data are used to estimate the melting of sea ice under the melt pond. Positive or negative feedback related to the specific optical and thermal properties of snow, ice, and water are discussed.

Published: July 2024

In 2017, through local public policies, an intervention program was implemented in squares in Cuiabá-MT, this program included the requalification of the main squares in the city's historic center. Using the two largest and most central examples as objects of study—Alencastro Square and Ipiranga Square—this essay aimed to understand the extent to which these squares, through their physical attributes, contributed to their appropriation as public spaces within the historical center of Cuiabá. With this intention, the research took on a practical nature through a case study of multiple units of analysis, selecting the historical center as the case study, and the two squares as distinct units of analysis. Issues such as the meaning of public space, and its role in the appropriation and valorization of historical centers were addressed in the theoretical review. Through the conduct of technical visits to these units, surveying and contrasting their physical aspects with the levels of appropriation observed, it was concluded that their physical attributes and central location revealed themselves as inducers of appropriation. However, differences in the conservation of these spaces showed that their potentials for sociability are impaired, resulting in less sense of belonging and consequent lower valuation of local identity.

Published: July 2024

Javanese script is one of the materials in Javanese language subjects that begin to be studied at the elementary school level. In SDIT Bina Insan Kamil Sidareja there are still many students who do not understand and have difficulty in learning Javanese characters.  Factors that influence students' difficulties in learning Javanese characters are because students very rarely intersect with Javanese characters in everyday life. Teachers have not used learning media that can attract the attention of students. Overcoming these problems, researchers used the Luther-Sutopo version of the Multimedia Life Development Cycle (MDLC) development model in making the Aksa Adventure game as a medium for introducing Javanese script in Grade 4 SDIT Bina Insan Kamil Sidareja. The purpose of this study was to design the game "Petualangan Aksa" and test the feasibility of the game "Petulangan Aksa" as a medium for introducing Javanese script for grade 4 students at SDIT Bina Insan Kamil Sidareja. The benefits of research are to know the stages of making games and to know the feasibility of media as an introduction to Javanese script at SDIT Bina Insan Kamil Sidareja. After alpha and beta testing, the results of the "Petualangan Aksa" game research obtained a score of 97.14% for the material validation test, 88.77% for the media validation test and 88.54% for the beta test so that it was very feasible to use. The conclusion of the study is that researchers have successfully designed the game "Petualangan Aksa" as a media for introducing Javanese characters at SDIT Bina Insan Kamil Sidareja.

Authors: NAJA Tsabita Sabilun , LAKSMAN-HUNTLEY Myrna
Published: July 2024

RÉSUMÉ. L'anglicisme est traité par des règles et politiques pour maintenir la pureté de la langue française. Cette étude vise à déterminer les motifs des médias de gauche français et québécois utilisant l'anglicisme dans leurs titres. Cette étude qualitative utilise les théories morphologiques de Tamine (1990) et Meney (2017), syntaxique de Le Querler (1994) et le concept de mots d'emprunt de Hudson (1996). Bien qu’ils partagent la même idéologie, les deux médias ont des différents motifs. Le Monde outrepasse les règles comme la stratégie marketing ; tandis que La Presse tend à les suivre pour maintenir le français comme l'identité du Québec. Ainsi, cette étude appuie les recherches précédentes de Febrianne Miranda (2018) et Kautsar Miranda (2021): le Québec maintient mieux la souveraineté de la langue comparé au gouvernement français qui est flexible utilisant l'anglicisme en fonction de l'évolution de la politique étrangère et l'idéologie de son gouvernement. Mots-clés : anglicisme, morphologie, le monde, la presse, titre ABSTRACT. Anglicism is handled through rules and policies in order to maintain the purity of the French language. This study aims to determine motives of French and Quebec leftist media for using anglicism through their headlines. This qualitative study uses Tamine (1990) and Meney (2017) morphological theory, Le Querler’s syntactic theory (1994) and Hudson's concept of loanwords (1996). Despite the same ideology, the two media have different motives in using anglicism. Le Monde overrides the rules as a marketing strategy; while La Presse tends to follow them to maintain the French language as the identity of Quebec. Thus, this study supports previous research by Febrianne Miranda (2018) and Kautsar Miranda (2021) that Quebec is better in maintaining the French language sovereignty than the French government who is flexible in dealing with anglicism depending on the development of foreign policy and the ideology of its government.Keywords: anglicism, headlines, le monde, la presse, morphology
