Authors: Horvatić Sven , Parmentier Eric , Malavasi Stefano , Amorim Maria , Fonseca Paulo , Zanella Davor
Published: May 2023

The Neretva dwarf goby Orsinigobius croaticus (Gobiiformes,
Gobionellidae) is an endemic fish native to the freshwaters of the
Adriatic Basin in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Due to its limited
distribution range, specific karst habitat and endangered status,
laboratory studies on reproductive biology are scarce. We investigated
the sound production and acoustic behaviour of this species during
reproductive intersexual laboratory encounters. We performed dissection
and micro-computed tomography (μCT) scanning of the pectoral girdle to
explore the anatomy of its putative sound producing mechanism. To study
interspecific acoustic differences and determine whether acoustic
features can discriminate among species, comparative analysis was
conducted on sounds produced by closely related soniferous sand gobies.
Our results indicate that males of the O. croaticus emit pulsatile
sounds composed of a variable number of short (~ 15 ms)
consecutive pulses when interacting with females, usually during the
pre-spawning phase in the nest, but also during courtship outside the
nest. Pulsatile sounds were low-frequency and short pulse trains
(~ 140 Hz, < 1000 ms), and spectro-temporal
parameters were correlated with physical traits and water temperature.
Male visual behaviour rate was higher when co-occurring with sounds and
females entered the male’s nest significantly more frequently when
sounds were present. Male sound production was accompanied by movements
such as head thrust and fin spreading. μCT scans and dissections suggest
that O. croaticus shares certain anatomical similarities of the pectoral
girdle (osseous elements and arrangement of levator pectoralis muscles)
to previously studied sand gobies. Multivariate comparisons, using
sounds produced by eight soniferous European sand gobies, effectively
distinguished soniferous (and sympatric) species based on acoustic
properties. Discrimination success decreased when temperature-dependent
features (sound duration and pulse repetition rate) were excluded from
analysis. Therefore, we suggest both spectral and temporal features are
important for acoustic differentiation of sand gobies.
Trans-jugular Transcutaneous Closure of Atrial Septal Defects with an Adjustable Curved Sheath Under Echocardiography Guidance
Authors: xiaosong Hu , yanwei Zhang , Li Yanan
Published: May 2023

Introduction and objectives：Traditional transcatheter closure
of atrial septal defect (ASD) via the femoral vein carries risk of
radiation damage. Transcutaneous closure of ASD under echocardiography
guidance avoids radiation exposure and can be gradually applied. An
alternative is to transcutaneous closure of ASD trans-jugular with an
adjustable curved sheath under echocardiography guidance.
Methods: We retrospectively studied all cases of trans-jugular
transcutaneous closure of ASD with an adjustable curved sheath under
echocardiography guidance in the Heart Center of Henan Province People’s
Hospital between 2016 and December 2022. Results: 156 patients
were included, 74 males and 82 females. Mean age was 6.9 ± 7.4 years and
weight 23.7 ± 14.6 kg. Mean sizes of the ASD and occluder were (9.7 ±
4.7) mm and (14.1 ± 5.7) mm. The mean operation time was (49.6 ± 29.2)
min. No complications such as atrioventricular block, reoperation, or
pericardial effusion occurred. There are 3 patients had a residual
shunt. All patients were followed-up for (38.7 ± 11.0)months. The 3
patients with residual shunt had self-closed at the 3-6-12months
follow-up. There was no complication at follow-up. Conclusion:
Trans-jugular transcutaneous closure of ASD with adjustable curved
sheath under echocardiography guidance is safe, effective and minimally
invasive.
Linking root traits to phytoremediation services in woody species: implications of root economics spectrum and biomass cost for heavy metal accumulation
Authors: Wang Shufeng , Du Zhongyu , Shi Xiang , Chen Yitai , Chen Guangcai
Published: May 2023

Root traits play significant roles in plant resource-use strategies, and
are good predictors of plant growth and survival. However, their
predicting role in phytoremediation remains poorly understood. In this
study, sixteen root traits were measured across eleven woody species
grown in Pb-Zn mine tailings of Southeastern China, to examine whether
there is a hypothesized root economics spectrum (RES) under extremely
high level of multiple HM stressors and to evaluate the importance of
root traits in explaining phytoremediation functioning. Our findings
provide evidence for a multidimensional root economics spectrum (RES)
including one main trend of ‘slow-fast’ strategy, and a trend
representing a trade-off between root system size and root tissue
density. Another trade-off between root cadmium concentration and root
dry matter content implied the existence of a presumable biomass cost
for heavy metal accumulation, which was proved to be constrained by RES.
Root traits explained HM translocation and bioconcentration and linked
with phytoremediation services: roots with more acquisitive traits
promote HM translocation, whilst conservative roots fostered
bioconcentration. This study highlights the important role of root
size-related traits in the RES framework, and would support the
trait-based selection of nurse plants to restore ecosystem functions.

Published: May 2023

This study applied representation learning algorithms to satellite
images and evaluated the learned latent spaces with classifications of
various weather events. The algorithms investigated include the
classical linear transformation, i.e., principal component analysis
(PCA), state-of-the-art deep learning method, i.e., convolutional
autoencoder (CAE), and a residual network pre-trained with large image
datasets (PT). The experiment results indicated that the latent space
learned by CAE consistently showed higher threat scores for all
classification tasks. The classifications with PCA yielded high hit
rates but also high false-alarm rates. In addition, the PT performed
exceptionally well at recognizing tropical cyclones but was inferior in
other tasks.

Further experiments suggested that representations learned from
higher-resolution datasets are superior in all classification tasks for
deep-learning algorithms, i.e., CAE and PT. We also found that smaller
latent space sizes had little impact on the classification task’s hit
rate. Still, a latent space dimension smaller than 128 caused a
significantly higher false-alarm rate.

Though the CAE can learn latent spaces effectively and efficiently, the
interpretation of the learned representation lacks direct connections to
physical attributions. Therefore, developing a physics-informed version
of CAE can be a promising outlook for the current work.

The electromagnetic coupling between the Galilean satellites at Jupiter
and the planetary ionosphere generates an auroral footprint, whose
ultimate source is the relative velocity between the moons and the
corotating magnetospheric plasma. The footprint can be detected in the
infrared L band (3.3-3.6 microns) by the Jovian InfraRed Auroral Mapper
(JIRAM) onboard the Juno spacecraft, which can observe the footprint
position with high precision. Here, we report the JIRAM data acquired
since August 27th 2016 until May 23rd 2022, corresponding to the first
42 orbits of Juno. The dataset is used to compute the average position
of the footprint tracks of Io, Europa and Ganymede. The result of the
present analysis can help to test the reliability of magnetic field
models, to calibrate ground-based observations and to highlight episodes
of variability in the footprint positions, which in turn can point out
specific conditions of the Jovian magnetospheric environment.
UNDERSTANDING THE ERRORS IN CHAMP ACCELEROMETER-DERIVED NEUTRAL MASS DENSITY DATA
Authors: Kodikara Timothy , Fernandez-Gomez Isabel , Forootan Ehsan , Tobiska W Kent , Borries Claudia
Published: May 2023

Accelerometer-derived neutral mass density (NMD) is an important
quantity describing the variability of the upper atmosphere. NMD is
widely used to calibrate and validate some models used for satellite
orbit determination and prediction. Quantifying the true NMD is nearly
impossible due to, among others, the lack of simultaneous in-situ
measurements for cross-validation and the incomplete characterization of
the uncertainties of these NMD products. This study investigates the
error distribution of three different accelerometer-derived NMD products
from the CHAMP satellite mission during time periods of both high and
low solar activity. Using a multimodel ensemble comprised of both
physical and empirical models, the study characterizes the error
variance of the NMD. The strategies employed here may be useful and
applicable to other space missions spanning over longer time periods.
The results show considerable differences among the three CHAMP data
sets and also reveal a pronounced latitude dependence in their error
distributions. The median error standard deviation of CHAMP NMD is
smaller during time periods of high solar activity (11.0%) than during
periods of low solar activity (13.1%). The results indicate that the
method of processing the accelerometer data has a significant impact on
the uncertainty estimates of the different CHAMP NMD products.
A scale-dependent analysis of the barotropic vorticity budget in a global ocean simulation

Published: May 2023

The climatological mean barotropic vorticity budget is analyzed to
investigate the relative importance of surface wind stress, topography
and nonlinear advection in dynamical balances in a global ocean
simulation. In addition to a pronounced regional variability in
vorticity balances, the relative magnitudes of vorticity budget terms
strongly depend on the length-scale of interest. To carry out a
length-scale dependent vorticity analysis in different ocean basins,
vorticity budget terms are spatially filtered by employing the
coarse-graining technique. At length-scales greater than 10o (or roughly
1000 km), the dynamics closely follow the Topographic-Sverdrup balance
in which bottom pressure torque, surface wind stress curl and planetary
vorticity advection terms are in balance. In contrast, when including
all length-scales resolved by the model, bottom pressure torque and
nonlinear advection terms dominate the vorticity budget
(Topographic-Nonlinear balance), which suggests a prominent role of
oceanic eddies, which are of Ο(10-100) km in size, and the associated
bottom pressure anomalies in local vorticity balances at length-scales
smaller than 1000 km. Overall, there is a transition from the
Topographic-Nonlinear regime at scales smaller than 10o to the
Topographic-Sverdrup regime at length-scales greater than 10o. These
dynamical balances hold across all ocean basins; however,
interpretations of the dominant vorticity balances depend on the level
of spatial filtering or the effective model resolution. On the other
hand, the contribution of bottom and lateral friction terms in the
barotropic vorticity budget remains small and is significant only near
sea-land boundaries, where bottom stress and horizontal friction
generally peak.

Esta investigación muestra resultados de un estudio realizado sobre la Universidad Intercultural del Estado de Hidalgo (UICEH), cuyo objetivo fue conocer la producción de interculturalidad desde los terceros espacios (BHABHA, 1998, 2002). La construcción de este trabajo se logró gracias a una revisión teórica-conceptual, las entrevistas a profundidad (TAYLOR; BOGDAN, 2000), y la fotografía etnográfica (BRANDES, [199-?]). Los resultados muestran la producción de otras interculturalidades desde murales y prácticas efectuadas en la universidad desde la categoría de “terceros espacios”, como aquellos en donde se concibe la posibilidad de producción de otras interculturalidades, invisibles a los ojos, a las experiencias, entre lo institucional y comunitario, entre lo incluyente y lo excluyente y que dan pie a reflexiones sobre la generación de espacios seguros en donde los estudiantes pueden reflexionar sobre su propia cultura indígena.
Apifloristic diversity in the eastern Mediterranean region: Implications for biodiversity conservation and use
Authors: Topal Ali , Uzun Alper , Polat Osman
Published: May 2023

The ecological role of honeybees in the world and their value for sustainable agriculture and food industry are more important than ever. For this reason, we study the apiflora in the eastern Mediterranean region of Turkiye in the context of planning bee forests aimed at biodiversity conservation. The results show that honeybee forests are quite rich in both endemism and apifloristic diversity. A total of 511 plant taxa belonging to 264 genera and 59 families were identified, of which 335 (65%) taxa were evaluated as nectar (N) and/or pollen (P) bearing honey plants (45 N, 54 P, and 236 N&P). In terms of apiflora, the richest families are Fabaceae (n=76, 3 N, 73 N&P), Lamiaceae (n=57, 19 N, 38 N&P) and Asteraceae (n=44, 1 N, 10 P, 33 N&P). Nectariferous plants were more common at higher elevations, while polleniferous plants were more common at lower elevations. According to the Shannon-Wiener diversity index, the highest diversity values were found in honeybee forests at higher elevations and the lowest diversity values at lower elevations. Sorensen analysis also showed that floristic similarities among honeybee forests ranged from 1% to 42%. Cluster analysis supported these differences by dividing the forests into two separate groups.

Introduction/Objective. Fungal rhinosinusitis comprises of a wide range of immune-pathological responses, including invasive, chronic, granulomatous, and allergic diseases. Aim of this study was to determine total number of patients, their characteristics, frequency of symptoms, the manner of disease manifestation and the success of therapy. Methods. Study included 21 patients with fungal rhinosinusitis diagnosis made according to the 2020 EPOS guidelines. Results. Based on the visual analogue scale, feeling of localized pressure, i.e., facial pain, was dominant with a score of 9.57 ? 0.98, followed by the secretion from the nose with 8.14 ? 1.62, problems with breathing through the nose with 6.67 ? 3.25, and reduction the sense of smell with 2.14 ? 3.00. The t-test showed a statistically significant difference between mucosal changes on the diseased and healthy sides of the patient?s face (p < 0.0001). Only one sinus was affected intraoperatively in 18 (85.71%) patients. The most commonly affected sinus was the maxillary one, in 13 (54.17%) patients, followed by the sphenoid sinus in five (20.83%) patients. Aspergillus was proven ?s the couse of rhinosinusitis in 12 (57.14%) patients. Conclusion. The dominant symptom of patients with fungal rhinosinusitis was localized pain/pressure in the area of the affected sinus. Endoscopically, on the side of the affected sinus, the pathological mucosa with thick, pithy, mucous secretion dominated. The maxillar sinus was primarily unilaterally affected, in more than half of the patients. Aspergillus has been proven to be the most common cause of rhinosinusitis.

Yüzey kusurlarının mühendislik malzemeleri üzerinde çok önemli bir etkisi olduğu iyi bilinmektedir. Bilyalı dövme prosesi yüzey özelliklerini ve yorulma dayanımını iyileştiren mekanik bir yüzey işlemidir. Bu çalışmada 50CrV4 yay çeliğinin yorulma mukavemetine yüzey kusurlarının ve bilyalı dövme prosesinin etkilerinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Numune boyunca yarım daire şeklinde 0,2 mm derinliğinde çizik ve 3 mm çapında delik içeren numuneler S230 çelik bilyalar ile dövülmüştür. Kusur içeren ve içermeyen numunelere 3-nokta eğme yorulma testleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Kusurlar çatlak gibi davranmış ve delik veya yarım-daire çizik içeren numunelerin yorulma mukavemetini sırasıyla (672 MPa için) %85 ve %80 oranında azaltmıştır. Bilyalı dövme çizik içeren numunenin yorulma mukavemetini %126 arttırırken, delik içeren numune üzerinde hemen hemen hiçbir etkisi olmamıştır. Bilyalı dövme çizik içeren numunenin yorulma mukavemetini arttırmasına rağmen, kusurlu numunenin yorulma mukavemetine ulaşamamıştır. Bu sonuçlara dayanarak, bilyalı dövme yöntemi ile 3 mm delik ve 0,2 mm çizik kusurlarının tamamen zararsız hale getirilemeyeceği sonucuna varılabilir.

Implementación de aula invertida: desempeño académico de estudiantes universitarios en un curso de lectura de textos en inglés
Authors: Jiménez Rivas José Ramón
Published: May 2023

Actualmente, el modelo de aula invertida ha adquirido un inusitado auge, en gran medida debido a la situación generada por el virus SARS-CoV-2 que todavía afecta al mundo entero. El interés en esta metodología se debe a la combinación de otros constructos importantes en educación, como el aprendizaje autodirigido, centrado en el alumno, desempeño escolar, entre otros, así como las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) en el aula. Aunque existen muchas investigaciones sobre el uso del modelo de aula invertida y la comprensión de lectura en inglés, estas se centran principalmente en cursos generales de inglés y no abordan la instrucción exclusiva de comprensión lectora de textos en inglés, lo que representa una problemática muy particular en el aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras.

Este trabajo de investigación abordó la intervención con el modelo de aula invertida para un curso de comprensión lectora en inglés dirigido a estudiantes de primer ingreso en una universidad situada al norte de la Ciudad de México. El estudio fue de corte cuantitativo con diseño cuasi-experimental con pre y pospruebas para comprobar si la mencionada intervención mejoraba el desempeño de los estudiantes. La muestra no aleatoria estuvo conformada por 63 estudiantes de ambos sexos. A partir del análisis estadístico con la prueba U de Mann-Whitney, se encontró que la diferencia en el desempeño académico con el modelo de aula invertida y la enseñanza tradicional no es estadísticamente significativa (U = 454, p = .938, r = 0.01).
Activator Token KWh Meter Using Servo Motor SG90 Based on Arduino Uno Microcontroller
Authors:   Department of Physics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Lampung, Bandar Lampun, Khamidah Mirda
Published: May 2023

The design of the kWh meter token activator using the SG90 Servo Motor based on the Arduino Uno microcontroller has been studied. The tools and materials used are the SG90 Servo Motor, PCA9685 Servo Motor Driver, Arduino Uno, 5V 1 A Adapter, pressure wire, and additional supporting tools. When pushing the kWh meter keypad, a servo motor at a 90° angle causes the wire to travel ideally perpendicularly. When the token value is entered into the interface, Arduino Uno executes the token value and tells the PCA9685 Servo Motor Driver to operate eleven SG90 Servo Motors to drive the push wire for the kWh meter keypad. The precision of the token number on the kWh meter and the display of the word "true" on the LCD kWh meter demonstrate the tool's effectiveness. The kWh meter Token Activator Tool successfully activated five new kWh meter Tokens with 100% correctness in terms of numbers, and each token took 44 seconds to activate. They are making an error and wasting time activating the kWh meter token.

It has been done a variation of CaCO 3, which is 0.95; 1.00; 1.05; and 1,10, through phase formation of BSCCO-2212 superconductor using a wet-mixing method. Samples were dissolved with HNO 3 and distilled by water slowly until the color was clean blue, then gradually dried out at temperatures of 300, 400, and 600 °C. The samples were calcined for 10 hours at 800°C and sintered at 820°C for 20 hours. The XRD's characterization results show that the highest volume fraction was 76.65% in the Ca 1.05 sample. The lowest volume fraction was 49.85% in the Ca 1.10 sample. Meanwhile, the highest degree of orientation was 44.27% in the Ca 1.00 sample, and the lowest degree of orientation was 8.58% in the Ca 1.10 sample. SEM's characterization shows that all samples have been oriented and relatively little space between slabs (voids).

The purpose of this research was to know the tolerance discourse in interfaith dialogue in Habib Husein Jaâ€™far Al Hadarâ€™s Youtube Channel â€œJeda Nulisâ€. This research was a qualitative research using discourse analysis model by Teun Van A.Dijk which analyzed the discourse structure, social cognition, and social context. The data collection techniques used were observation and documentation. The results found were based on 3 discourse aspects by Teun Van A.Dijk. First, based on discourse analysis, tolerance could be conveyed well through meaning emphasis and word choice, or sentence supporting the discourse. Second, in social cognition, those interfaith videos could not be separated from involvement, consciousness, and prejudice of Habib Husein Jaâ€™far along with Yerry the Priest and Zhuan Xiu the Monk. Last, based on social context, it was found that a discourse of praying from home made people pro and contra, while discourse regarding interfaith tolerance in Indonesia was still not really good because there were internal and external conflicts.Â
The price of freedom: Open access, editorial labour, and prestige in academic publishing
Authors: Grydehøj Adam , Su Ping
Published: May 2023

This paper discusses tensions in journal editing and management, particularly for non-fee charging open access (diamond open access) journals. Even diamond open access journals and other journals published on a non-commercial basis are subject to financial and labour costs. Because diamond open access journals do not gain income from subscriptions or article processing charges (APCs), every published paper presents additional costs. Whereas commercially published journals depend upon substantial free academic labour, unfunded or underfunded diamond open access journals depend upon both substantial free academic labour and free non-academic labour. This encourages editors to be selective about the kinds of submissions on which they spend their time. The importance of maintaining a journal’s prestige, as measured through inclusion in bibliometric indices, incentivises further selectivity. Different kinds of papers are suitable for different kinds of journals. Even publications like Island Studies Journal that are radically accessible to authors and readers in diverse financial circumstances must make difficult choices when deciding what material to publish.
Bioinformatics Approach for Metabolism Pathways Curation: Carbohydrate Metabolism and TCA Cycle in the Archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus P2
Authors: Khayatt Barzan Ibrahim
Published: May 2023

Background: Metabolic and genomic informatics integrations in organism-specific databases require comprehensive and intensive efforts. PathoLogic, a component of the Pathway Tools software package can create complete Pathway/Genome Databases (PGDBs) from genomic sequence and annotation files for any organism. This tool can predict the metabolic pathways using MetaCyc as a reference knowledge base. This work aimed to apply a bioinformatics approach to curate a PGDB created for the Crenarchaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus P2. This archaeon grows optimally at 80o C and pH 2-4. The complete genome of S. solfataricus P2 was released in 2001. Created PGDBs often need manual curations to fill in the metabolic gaps that the software failed to detect.

Methods: We used Pathway Tools to create the PGDB for the Sulfolobus solfataricus P2. Bioinformatics curation for carbohydrate metabolism pathway (Entner-Doudoroff “ED”) and TCA cycle was carried out. Literature search as well as homology-, orthology- and context-based protein function prediction methods were followed for this curation using the Editors component of the Pathway Tools program.

Results: Curation modified the number of the pathways in the database by adding extra pathways that have not been detected by the PathoLogic. New pathways such as semi-phosphorylated ED and a new variation of the TCA cycle were added to the PGDB of S. solfataricus P2. Filling in the metabolic holes (missing enzymes) in the pathways under study was also involved in the curation process.

Conclusion: The bioinformatics curation of the PGDB of S. solfataricus P2 improved the database that can serve as a reference knowledge base for genomic annotations and metabolic pathway reconstructions of other organisms especially the closely related Archaea.

Authors: Raeef Abdullah A. , Al-Shaabani Mahmood J. M. , Al-Ani Sahar K.
Published: May 2023

Background: Vitamin D insufficiency is a worldwide issue in all age groups. It wasdiscovered that vitamin D insufficiency is linked to autoimmune disorders such as Irritablebowel illness, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, andrheumatoid arthritis. Vitamin D is also connected to the development of thyroid autoimmunedisease and plays an important role in endocrinopathies including type 1 and type 2 diabetes,adrenal diseases, and polycystic ovarian syndrome.Materials and methods: 100 samples were collected for women from Al-Khalidiya city inAnbar province (50 samples likely to have thyroid problems, 50 healthy samples). The levelsof vitamin D and thyroid hormones were measured using A Minividus system (whichcombines a two-step enzyme sands assay with an ELFA, or End Fluorescent DetectionMethod).Results: The current findings revealed that there are significant variations in vitamin D andT4 levels between patients and healthy controls ( P-value 0.05). There is also a positiveassociation between vitamin D levels and T4 (r = 0.378, P-value = 0.007), as well as anegative correlation between vitamin D levels and TSH (r = -0.373, P-value = 0.008).Conclusion: According to our result, Individuals with hypothyroidism in Alkhaldia have avitamin D3 deficiency. In addition, blood vitamin D levels show a positive correlation with T4and a negative correlation with TSH levels. To avoid developing osteoporosis ifhypothyroidism persists, all hypothyroid Iraqi patients should be checked for Vitamin Ddeficiency.

Motorik kasar adalah gerak yang dimotori oleh saraf, otak dan otot besar yang berfungsi pada setiap gerakan pada tubuh. Sehingga pemberian stimulasi yang tepat dapat meninggkatkan motorik kasar dalam berbagai aktifitas yang di berikan. Kemudian motorik kasar erat kaitannya dengan masalah perkembangan fisik dengan gerakan-gerakan tubuh yang dimotori dengan kerja sama antara otot, otak, dan syaraf. Ketika otot-otot badan cenderung lebih kuat dan kokoh, maka keterampilan-keterampilan yang menggunakan otot tangan dan kaki sudah mulai bearfungsi. Adapun perkembangan fisik seperti berjalan, berlari, melompat dan sebagainya tentunya membutuhkan keterampilan motorik agar otot saraf yang mulai tumbuh dapat berfungsi dengan baik.

The electronic industry has been working for decades to improve the cooling efficiency of heat sinks by creating more advanced, efficient cooling technologies. However, heat dissipation remains the major problem in this highly competitive sector. Plate-fin heat sinks with and without fillet profiles were investigated and two new proposed designs for plate-fin heat sinks with half-round pins attached to the fin were developed in this study. Numerical analysis was performed using ANSYS FLUENT R21 to evaluate the thermal performance of the proposed designs. For the element optimization, the grid independency test was performed to obtain the optimal number of elements. A constant heat flux of 18.750 kW/m2 was applied at the bottom plate of heat sinks as the input parameter and two different flow directions e.g., impinging flow and parallel flow at various mass flow rate was also applied to study the base temperature, thermal resistance and Nusselt number of these designs. The study has shown that plate-fin heat sinks with fillet profile and corrugated half-round pins (PFHS 4) subject to parallel flow and plate-fin heat sinks with fillet profile and symmetrical half-round pins (PFHS 3) subject to impinging flow exhibit better thermal performance over other configurations. Hence, these design configurations have a potential to be applied in the future.

Teacher's role perception questionnaires exist in different domains. However, none refer to their role perceptions on conducting authentic dialogue in classrooms or with the pre-schoolers. There was a need for this type of questionnaire in order to quantitatively analyze the results before and after a preschool teacher's training program on authentic dialogue. The teacher's role perception on conducting authentic dialogue in the classroom questionnaire (TRPADQ) was based on Wubbels, Creton and Hooymaayer Questionnaire on Teacher Interaction (QTI) as described in Fraser and Walberg (1991). The article details the validation process of the questionnaire. The validation had three stages: a judicial review by early childhood pedagogical advisors and lectures with an expertise in dialogue, an Explanatory Factor Analysis (EFA) and a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA).

In this research we conducted a systematic review of the characteristics of social-emotional development in adolescents and the extent to which they are influenced or correlated by the concept of friendship. We also investigated the influence of socio-emotional traits on the quality of friendship in adolescence. To achieve this, we searched for published scientific studies from several major databases. . The main keywords used for this study were "Adolescence", "Friendship", "Social-emotional development", "Social development", "Emotions". We initially identified 123 studies with the mentioned keywords and we decided that 73 studies are eligible for the purpose of this research. Those were read and analyzed in full-text format. Following this stage, we decided to include 29 studies in the review. We identified a large diversity in the sample of participants presented in the study, with a total of 11,684 participants; from the total of eligible studies, three are systematic reviews that have explored our key concepts (friendship and concepts related to social-emotional development). Through this systematic review, we were able to summarize the current data and knowledge about friendship, social-emotional development and relationships between the two, during adolescence.

"Let R be a commutative ring and M an R-module. In this work we introduce two new generalizations of multiplication modules via delta-small submodules and small submodules of a fixed module. A module M is said to be (delta)-small multiplication provided for every (delta-)small submodule of N of M, there is an ideal I of R such that N=IM. We study some general properties of both delta-small multiplication modules and also small multiplication modules. A counterexample is presented to state this fact that the class of all delta-small multiplication modules lies exactly between the class of multiplication modules and small multiplication modules. We show that any direct summand of a (delta)-small multiplication module inherits the property."

Published: May 2023

"This paper deals with a certain p-fractional Kirchhoff equation. By transforming the equation into an equivalent system, we establish the existence of at least one nontrivial solution or two nontrivial solutions without using the well-known Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz (AR) condition. Furthermore, the nonexistence case is also treated. Our result extends and completes the recent works in the literature."

Let A be a Banach algebra over R or C with center Z(A). In this paper, we show that, if a non-injective continuous derivation of A satisfies some local differential identities, then A must be commutative. We give several applications, and we provide examples to show that some hypotheses of our theorems are necessary.

La dialéctica entre lo civil y lo militar en la China antigua
Authors: Galvany Albert
Published: May 2023

Gran parte de los estudios recientes dedicados a la historia política e intelectual de la China antigua consideran que el recurso explícito a la violencia o a la coacción es un rasgo exclusivo de los autores adscritos al legismo (fa jia 发家) o al pensamiento militar (bing jia 兵家) es decir, a los teóricos que podríamos describir y clasificar mediante el término realpolitik; mientras que las propuestas vinculadas al confucianismo se inclinarían por formas de gobierno más indulgentes, basadas en una actuación principalmente pedagógica así como en la eficacia de una autoridad de orden moral.
