In the past, almost every industry worldwide patronizediron and its alloys for every major industrial design, construction and other forms of work. However, with the advent of the Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP)as accepted in the United Kingdom or the Fibre Reinforced Plastic as accepted in the United States, which was discovered in the nineteen thirty’s (1930’s), the Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) has become very versatile as it has become a household name in most industries globally .It has attained this height through the significant properties it possesses, which include its ability to transform into moulds of difficult and delicate shapes and sizes which iron and its alloy may not find easy to submit to. It brings a host of otherbenefits in the form of long term performance and reliability, ease of installation and the ability to withstand corrosion and tuberculation. A service life of more than thrice that of the ductile iron pipes to mention but a few. Ductile Iron pipes are used in most petrochemical industries where pipeline plays a very important role in transporting crude oil and gas. As the service duration increases, the pipe lines are affected by corrosion mechanism which can lead to fatal accident. Corrosion can occur atboth the internal and external surface of the pipelines. In general, corrosion would cause metal loss which leads to reduction in pipeline thickness and consequently reduce its strength. Itbecomes necessary that the stability of the Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) pipes are carefully investigated especially in the event of high pressure turbulent flows. This is the thrust of this work. In the light of the above, ductileiron pipes and Glass Reinforced Plastics (GRP) pipes of the same thicknesses were investigated, some special characteristics such as the bursting pressures were calculated using Peter Barlow’s formula. The ANSYS software was also used for modelanalysisand compare the stress profile under dynamic condition for both pipes. Also the cost of production of pipes, classification and the difficulties encountered during their installation processes wereexamined. The result indicated an overwhelming encouragement to use Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) pipes as substitutes to the traditional ductile iron and its alloys in view of the fact that Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) pipes withstand corrosion and tuberculation while saving the huge cost that would have been used forpigging

Published: December 2022

The world is advancing technologically in all sectors including the use gas as cooking energy. Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is one of the gases used for cooking. The use of LPG by cooking protects the environment against deforestation and air pollution. But people are not very comfortable using it due to some issues related to the manual frame regulation that sometimes cause fire sparks, manual switch and LPG cylinder explosion that are causing many accidents in daily life. The previous related works reviewed have provided some solutions like alerting notifying and closing the Gas flow while there is a Gas leakage and auto fire extinguisher system against the fire caused by that Gas. But still, those solutions did not help users to maximize the benefits of using that gas. This project aims to develop a smart Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) stove powered by the integration of Internet of things (IoT) and Embedded Systems to auto-switch the stove, monitor the gas level, prevent the gas explosion and notify the userthe state of the stove.
Curriculum Content Proposal for Integration of Technology in Education
Authors: Dinçer Serkan , Çengel-Schoville Meltem
Published: December 2022

This study focuses on the content of technology-related courses offered by teacher training institutions to determine the factors that will avoid technology integration in teacher education/training. Two methods are combined in the research. As a first step, the integration of technology in education/teaching models literature was analyzed, synthesized, and categories were created based on the critics. Next, technology-related courses in teacher training curricula were defined, the content of those courses was analyzed, and some content and suggestions were proposed for better technology-integrated courses. Even though literature indicates the most critical barriers to technology integration in education are hardware problems and the lack of technical infrastructure, one of the underlying factors is the teachers' inadequacy in ICT, the usage of technology in education, and technology integration literacy. These inadequacies are the result of the training curriculum deficiencies. There are three suggestions based on the findings and for further studies. The first one is to add courses and contents to the teacher-training curriculum as discussed in interpretation and discussion. Secondly, instructional technology courses should have specific content related to the content area. The syllabus should be developed with the cooperation of the content area teacher trainer for each subject area. Finally, as a part of curriculum development, these proposed courses and their content should be reevaluated for further studies.
Percutaneous CT-guided trigeminal tractotomy-nucleotomy under general anesthesia for intractable craniofacial pain
Authors: Tan Hao , Ward Edward , Stedelin Brittany , Raslan Ahmed M.
Published: December 2022

OBJECTIVE

When used to treat craniofacial pain, CT-guided trigeminal tractotomy-nucleotomy (TR-NC) is usually performed with local anesthesia. Unfortunately, local anesthesia is insufficient for patients with such severe pain that they cannot tolerate the required head positioning while awake. This study aimed to contextualize previous findings associated with TR-NC performed under general anesthesia. The authors examined clinical and operative factors that could impact postoperative pain outcomes.

METHODS

This is a retrospective single-institution cohort study of patients who underwent a percutaneous CT-guided TR-NC under general anesthesia at a single institution between 2012 and 2019. Outcome data were analyzed.

RESULTS

Twenty-five patients underwent CT-guided TR-NC procedures under general anesthesia; 23 met the inclusion criteria and underwent a total of 31 procedures. The procedure success rate was 74% (23/31). Approximately 50% and 40% of procedures provided pain relief for at least 6 and 12 months, respectively. The median duration of pain relief was 153 days. Adverse events, all minor and transient, occurred following 6/31 (19%) of procedures. Patients with a body mass index > 25 were less likely to experience a successful TR-NC (p = 0.045). Higher electrode ablation temperatures (p = 0.033) and more medial entry trajectories relative to the midsagittal plane (p = 0.029) characterized successful procedures.

CONCLUSIONS

These results suggest that CT-guided TR-NC performed under general anesthesia is safe and effective. Postoperative outcomes were found to be associated with a number of clinical and operative factors. Such associations should be further explored and evaluated in the context of future, better-powered analyses.
Retiform endothelial hyperplasia mimicking cavernous malformation as a late complication of Gamma Knife radiosurgery
Authors: Kawagishi Jun , Jokura Hidefumi , Watanabe Mika , Fujimura Miki , Niizuma Kuniyasu , Endo Hidenori , Suzuki Hiroyoshi , Tominaga Teiji
Published: December 2022

OBJECTIVE

Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) is a powerful tool for the management of arteriovenous malformations; however, newly formed mass lesions resembling cavernous malformations are a rare late complication of GKRS. In this retrospective study, the authors tried to clarify the unique histological features of these mass lesions.

METHODS

The authors retrospectively reviewed the clinical course of 889 patients who had undergone GKRS for arteriovenous malformations at their institute from 1991 to 2021. Among the 848 patients who had been followed up periodically with neuroradiological imaging, 37 developed a mass lesion mimicking a cavernous malformation and underwent surgical removal of the lesion. The median volume of the original nidus was 3.7 cm3 (range 0.07–30.5 cm3), and the median prescription dose was 21 Gy (range 12–25 Gy). The histological characteristics and radiological and clinical features of the 37 patients were investigated.

RESULTS

Histological examination showed an organized hematoma and a structure termed "retiform endothelial hyperplasia" (RFEH) consisting of endothelium forming multiple lumen-like vascular channels mimicking cavernous malformations but lacking the subendothelial connective tissue that forms the typical vascular wall structure found in cavernous angioma and capillary telangiectasia. RFEH was detected a median of 10.8 years (range 3.2–27.4 years) after GKRS. Neuroimaging showed hematoma surrounded by massive brain edema in all 37 patients. Symptoms caused by mass effect of the lesion and perifocal edema worsened relatively rapidly but completely disappeared after surgery. No recurrence or morbidity occurred after the surgery.

CONCLUSIONS

The delayed formation of RFEH that is mimicking a cavernous malformation neuroradiologically but is histologically distinct from a vascular malformation is a potential complication of GKRS. Its progressive clinical course suggests that surgical removal should be considered for symptomatic patients and/or patients with an apparent radiological mass sign.
The temporary resection of the cranial vault by Wilhelm Wagner (1848–1900) instead of trepanation: the cornerstone of the modern craniotomy
Authors: González-Darder José M. , Capilla-Guasch Pau
Published: December 2022

In this paper, the authors trace the history of cranial temporary resection, described by Wilhelm Wagner (1848–1900) in 1889, which changed the paradigm of the cranial opening from trephining to the craniotomy. The objective of the temporary resection was to obtain wide openings in the skull, keeping the cranial flap attached to the soft tissues to maintain bone vitality. The cranial temporary resection was reproduced by the authors in an anatomical study faithfully following the original technique, demonstrating the feasibility of the surgical procedure as described by Wagner. Surgical steps include a large omega-shaped skin incision and a beveled cut of the bone with the chisel and mallet until reaching the dura mater, lifting the bone flap en bloc along with all superficial soft tissues. A literature review shows that the temporary cranial resection became a great success at that time because it allowed physicians to improve a number of constraints of the cranial opening using the crown trephine: bone vitality; a wide cranial window; easy, safe, and quick surgery; and economy of surgical instruments. The crude, primitive proposal of the temporary resection was ameliorated to quickly build the successful model of the modern craniotomy.

A Closer Look on Lecturer’s Organizational Commitment and Job Satisfaction: A Survey on Selected University
Authors: Prastyo Eko , Hidayat Dylmoon
Published: December 2022

Lecturers are human resources who have the main      role in higher education. However, as significant assets of higher education, lecturers often indicate a low level of job satisfaction and organizational commitment, which is caused by unprofessional and disproportionate task load division procedures and systems as well as ineffective leadership styles which then lead to the intention of lecturers leaving the organization. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effects of instructional leadership and task load on lecturers’ organizational commitment and job satisfaction. This is an experimental study which uses quantitative methods by using a structured questionnaire that is distributed to 60 lecturers who work at the Dental Faculty of IIK Bhakti Wiyata Kediri. The Partial Least Square (PLS) is used in this study as a statistical tool to test research hypotheses. The findings indicate that instructional leadership has positive effects on organizational commitment (p = 0.297) and job satisfaction (p = 0.301), while task load has negative effects on organizational commitment (p = -0.553) and job satisfaction (p = -0.364). These findings have implications for the importance of the ability of leaders in higher education to be able to manage proportional and fair workload assignments to increase lecturers’ organizational commitment to the organization. The findings also encourage the ability of leaders in higher education to be able to build closer social relationships with lecturers both psychologically and emotionally to understand their level of job satisfaction in order to achieve organizational goals effectively.

Authors: Gabov Andrey V.
Published: December 2022

Reformation in 2015 (Federal Law of March 8, 2015 No. 42-FZ “On Amendments to Part One of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation”) of the law of obligations (as part of the general reform of civil law) did not, unfortunately, significantly affect provisions on the penalty as a measure of legal liability for violation of obligations. And the point is not only that no significant changes were made to the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the point is that over the past two decades the norms of special legislation have changed significantly, in particular on the contract system. An analysis of judicial practice shows the need to rethink many of the prevailing ideas about the forfeit. The proposed article examines the provisions of the current legislation on forfeit in the field of the contract system. An overview of the legal approaches formulated by the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation and the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation regarding the nature, procedure and amount of the calculation of the penalty for violation of contractual obligations is given; the features of the application of the relevant rates of the Bank of Russia and possible approaches to disputable situations are analyzed.

METAPHORS OF CREATIVITY IN THE LYRICS BY Z. N. GIPPIUS
Authors:   A. M. Gorky Institute of World Literature, Russian Academy of Sciences, Kuznetsova Ekaterina Valentinovna
Published: December 2022

The ways of expressing the authorial subjectivity of women writers in a literary text is one of the challenging and underexplored problems in the literature of Russian Modernism. The poetry of Z. N. Gippius seems to offer an instructive case study. It provides a plethora of material for under-standing the specific techniques that the poetess resorted to in order to reflect on her own creative practices in the context of the nodal gender and philosophical ideologies of the era, that informed the complex process of constructing female authorship. The article deals with specific metaphors of creativity, such as spinning, sewing, weaving a wreath, prayer. The semantic content of these metaphors is analyzed through the prism of O. Weininger’s theory and Gippius’ own constructs, put forth in her article Zverebog (1908), as well as against the background of the collapse of the entire gender pattern that Russian culture had experienced at the turn of the 19–20th centuries.

Authors:   Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkinskij Dom), Russian Academy of Sciences, Gryakalova Nataliya Juryevna
Published: December 2022

The article traces the genesis of the term «psychopath» and its terminological status in the history of psychiatry (from the theory of hereditary degeneration and up to personality disorders), as well as in the context of forensic medical examinations at the high-profi le criminal trials of the 1880s (in particular, the «Semenova Case»). As media events, they generated a number of literary responses, in the stories by N. S. Leskov, A. P. Chekhov, Ya. P. Polonsky, A. V. Amfi teatrov analyzed in the article, and contributed to the introduction of the term to the vernacular. Making the descriptions of clinical and criminal cases (pathological incidents) and «confessions» available to the general public, psychopathology and psychiatry paved their path to literature, either through fictionalization or through conversion into «human documents».

Published: December 2022

The article examines an obscure comedy by O. I. Senkovsky Fansu, or the Cheating Maid, which is a reworking of a play by а Chinese author Zheng Guang-tzu, Tchao-Mei’-Hiang (The Clever Confidante), published in the French translation in 1835. The analysis is focused on the literary and polemical plot of the work, introduced by Senkovsky into the source text. The article offers additional arguments in favor of the assumption made by V. A. Kaverin, that the prototypes of the two characters of the comedy, Phu-Lalin and Mi-Lashun, are F. V. Bulgarin and N. A. Polevoy, and suggests that this additional plot was based on an episode of plagiarism, with Bulgarin using fragments of A. S. Pushkin’s tragedy Boris Godunov in his novel Dimitri The Impostor (1829); the tragedy was written in 1825, but published only in 1830, while Bulgarin got access to the manuscript thanks to his connections at the Third Department.

Published: December 2022

This article features a previously unknown letter from Elena Tsvetkovskaya, the wife of Konstantin Balmont, to Vladimir Zeeler, a Russian lawyer, journalist and public fi gure. It sheds new light on Balmont’s fi nal years which were spent in a small town Noisy-le-Grand, outside of Paris, where Balmont and Tsvetkovskaya had survived the 1940 Nazi invasion of France. Tsvetkovskaya’s letter and related documents, published here, are permeated by a sense of despair and impending disaster. They testify that Balmont’s and Elena’s last years were a time of poverty and chaos, of daily humiliations, aggravated by the misfortunes of their daughter Mirra, and of constant dependance on charity and handouts.

MUSICIANSHIP AND SINGING IN ARKADY GAIDAR’S NOVEL TIMUR AND HIS TEAM
Authors:   Institute of Russian Literature (The Pushkin House) RAS, Golovin Valentin
Published: December 2022

The article deals with the motif of singing and music-making in the story “Timur and his team” (1940) by Arkady Gaidar. The author analyses 18 episodes in which the characters of the story sing or play music: a musical amateur performance (staging an opera), home and amateur music-making, Red Army chorus, trumpeter’s signals, performing a “novelty romance” and ditties accompanied by a fight, shouts of a milkmaid, improvised orchestra concert by children playing on “bottles, cans, bottles and sticks”, use of musical toys and so on. The musical texture of the novel is placed in the context of the mass musical culture of the 1930s and in the tradition of Russian classical music. The functions of this motif in the text of the story are revealed: the creation of an atmosphere of a dacha village near Moscow, allusions, and characterization of adult heroes. The article shows how the irony of the author is expressed through scenes of singing and music-making, and how the author’s accents are placed in the depiction and evaluation of characters. The analysis of this motif allows us to propose new interpretations of the world of children and adults depicted in A. Gaidar’s story; the relevant categories which distinguish children and adults in the story are original/secondary, natural/artificial, and improvisation/performance.

Published: December 2022

The Global Estimates of Modern Slavery report of 2021 stated that 6.3 million people were in situations of forced commercial sexual exploitation (CSE) on any given day worldwide. Asia and the Pacific region (which includes South Asia) were host to more than half of the global total of forced labor, including those in CSE. Bangladesh is one of the three main countries of origin for trafficked persons in South Asia. India has been identified as a source, destination, and transit location for trafficking of forced labor, including CSE. Though governments in both countries have made commitments to prevent and combat trafficking and CSE of women and children, critical gaps in implementation remain, along with inadequate victim care. The Global Fund to End Modern Slavery in partnership with the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation supported pilot-testing of three prevention and reintegration projects to address CSE of women and children in Bangladesh and India. The Population Council undertook a study to assess and compare the acceptability of these projects. Using qualitative methods, the study focused on examining intervention coherence, affective attitude, self-efficacy, and perceived effectiveness of the interventions.

Published: December 2022

All radios, both transmitting and receiving signals, need an antenna. So the role of the antenna is very important because the antenna can work as a transmitter or receiver, depending on the application of the antenna itself. For the transmitting antenna, it is hoped that it can cover a wide area, so that the receiver can access information in a wide area as well. With the addition of elements with antenna modifications, it will affect the radiance. In this study, the vertical 2 meter band 2 x 5/8 antenna using this phase system has many advantages such as a strong beam pattern in all directions, wide bandwidth and has a large gain and wider coverage area. Then the measurements and calculations of the antenna parameters that have been determined are carried out. From the data obtained at the time of measurement, it was found that the working frequency of the designed antenna was 145.9 MHz. it can be seen that the large amplification of the 2 meter band 2 x 5/8 vertical antenna against the standard 5/8 vertical antenna is 1 dB. The vertical 2 meter band 2 x 5/8 antenna has a bandwidth of 1.4 MHz and an omnidirectional radiation pattern, with a wider coverage area.

Published: December 2022

In the current digital transformation era, network providers have long relied on WAN technology to support the business communications of their multi-local companies; however, in terms of infrastructure, cost, and even effectiveness, WAN technology is no longer sufficient to meet the needs and demands of telecommunications customers. In addition, given the magnitude of the company's need for internet network connections, technology is also needed to manage the use of traffic from rental links in the company so that it can optimize bandwidth usage from the link itself. Therefore one of the technological innovations to improve information processes is cloud-based digital innovation such as SD-WAN Traffic Steering technology. In this paper, the SD-WAN network design will be carried out on FortiGate series 50e devices by implementing traffic steering technology which can adjust a link's traffic flow according to the client's wishes. The results of the data obtained indicate that the utilization of ISP links owned by companies (Lintasarta and MNC) has been able to be used optimally, as evidenced by the use of bandwidth on each link successfully used according to the desired settings, where the settings provided have also been adjusted according to parameters of the type of each ISP service so that functionally the existing service link can be used optimally by the compan

Increased glucose in the blood can cause a buildup so that it cannot be absorbed by all of the body's cells, this problem can cause various disorders in the body's organs. To avoid problems, it is necessary to check the blood glucose level regularly. Monitoring blood sugar levels is currently still using invasive techniques that are painful, non-invasive monitoring is needed. This study develops a non-invasive method to predict blood glucose through image processing. For investigation, several invasive images and glucose levels were taken. Types of samples based on age classification, 20-60 years. For accuracy and simple analysis, 37 images of participants as volunteers, samples were evaluated and investigated under the gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM). In this study, an artificial neural network (ANN) was used for all training and hand texture testing to detect glucose levels. The performance of this model is evaluated using Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and correlation coefficient (r). Clarke Error Grid Analysis (EGA) variance was used in this investigation to determine the accuracy of the method. The results showed that the RMSE was close to the standard value, the regression coefficient was 0.95, and the Clarke EGA analysis: 81.08 % was in the A zone. So that the blood glucose prediction model using the GLCM-ANN method is feasible to apply.

Fibre Optics is a delivery medium to connect network points to multipoint. FTTH is a service provided to customers to meet internet needs in terms of voice, data and video (triple play) services. PT. Telkom has standards for determining network eligibility, namely Power Link Budget and Rise Time Budget. With a case study in Bontomanai Village, Bulukumba, it is possible to simulate the design of the FTTH network to measure BER (Bit Error Rate) for system performance. From the results of network design calculations that the Power Link Budget, one of which is the attenuation from STO to the customer, is 25.65 dB, where this value is still feasible because it is still in the standard range of PT. Telkom is 13 – 28 dB. The Rise Time Budget parameter obtained based on the analysis is 0.262 ns which has not yet crossed the NRZ degradation limit of 0.28 ns. Simulations have been carried out using Optisystem software to measure BER

The heart is an organ that never stops moving, even when humans sleep. The heart rate must constantly be monitored to determine whether our heart rate is average or not. The heart and humans are also not spared from checking body temperature. Because body temperature can indicate the presence or absence of disease in a person's body, in this study, the detector detects heart and body temperature with a monitoring graphic display that makes it easier for users/patients to detect heart detection (BPM) which is equipped with a graphic display and also body temperature which is also on the display screen. The research method used is an experimental method where the tool is made with a standard size of the original tool. Moreover, from the data collection results, it can be interpreted that the tool is feasible to use and follows medical device calibration standards with correction results for heart rate, namely 2.0%, 0.6%, and 1.0%.
Sensory characteristics of selective traditional Indian sweets using agave syrup and stevia : An observatory study
Authors: Yargatti Rizwan , Muley Arti
Published: December 2022

Background:   Indian sweets largely contribute to the rising graph of obesity and cardiovascular diseases in India. An urgent update in lifestyle and dietary patterns has become necessary to stay risk-free. Replacement of sucrose with natural sweeteners in traditional Indian sweets is one way of dealing with the consequences of high sucrose consumption. This study tries to understand the change in sensory characteristics of selective Indian sweets on the replacement of sucrose with natural sweeteners like Agave syrup and Stevia.Objectives:In this observatory study, sensory characteristics of traditional Indian sweets (Gulab Jamun, Jalebi, and Motichoor Ladoo) are observed after sucrose replacement with natural sweeteners.Methods:In order to examine the flavour and appearance of selected Indian sweets, sucrose is substituted with agave syrup and stevia. Product characteristics namely appearance, flavour, colour, odour, aftertaste, and overall acceptability of the standardized sweets are compared with the control samples prepared with sucrose.Results: Results using the 9-point hedonic scale conclude that out of the two natural sugars used as a substitute for sucrose, stevia showed better overall acceptability for Gulab Jamun (84%) and Motichoor Ladoo (59%), but not for Jalebi (30%). Results for the paired comparison test conclude that substituting Agave syrup with sucrose had an undesirable effect on colour, taste, and mouthfeel while substituting Stevia had a detrimental effect on taste and mouthfeel only.Conclusion:The results conclude an initial understanding of sucrose replacement using natural sugars namely Stevia and Agave syrup in the context of traditional Indian sweets and Stevia is better-suited replacement in Gulab Jamun.Keywords: Natural sweeteners, Sucrose replacement, Indian sweets, Sensory evaluation, new product development, Agave syrup, Stevia
Comparable effects of circuit and traditional resistance exercise on platelet α2bβ3 receptor and platelet activation and function

Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND:

Resistance exercise induces thrombocytosis and increases platelet activation and function. These changes might be related to exercise variables including exercise intensity and type.

OBJECTIVE:

We compared the effects of traditional resistance exercise (TRE) and circuit resistance exercise (CRE) on cellular markers of platelet activation and function.

METHODS:

In this crossover study ten healthy male (mean±SD: age, 25.6±2.4 years) subjects performed TRE encompassed 3 sets of 10 repetitions at 100% of 10-RM (10 repetition maximum) for 6 exercises, and CRE protocols included 3 sets of 10 repetitions at 100% of 10-RM for all 6 exercises consecutively, in two separate weeks. To measure platelet indices, PAC1, CD41a, CD42b and CD62P three blood samples were taken before, immediately after exercise, and after 30 min recovery.

RESULTS:

Lactate concentration, blood pressure, platelet count (PLT), and mean platelet volume (MPV) were significantly ( p < 0.05) increased following both resistance exercise trials. Significant increases in PAC1, and CD62P; and significant reductions for CD42b and CD41a were detected following both REs ( p < 0.05). However, changes in PAC1 and CD62P were significantly different between the two protocols ( p < 0.05), with higher increases detected following CRE.

CONCLUSIONS:

Acute RE increases platelet indices and platelet activation; and that CRE results in higher platelet activation than TRE, probably due to exercise-induced increases in shear stress.
Developmentally Appropriate Prevention of Behavior and Emotional Problems and Fostering of Social and Emotional Skills in Elementary School – Overview of Program Theory and Measures of the Preventive Intervention Program Papilio-6to9

Published: December 2022

Children face increased demands for interpersonal as well as learning-related social skills, especially by the vulnerable stage of school entry, due to the more structured setting, new academic requirements, and the fact that children are supposed to interact successfully within a larger and heterogeneous peer group. Although a plethora of social-emotional learning (SEL) programs for elementary school students have been developed, there is a lack of empirically evaluated programs suitable for implementation in field-based settings, especially in Germany. The universal-selective, school-based prevention program Papilio-6to9 aims at facilitating the transition from preschool to elementary school, improving social-emotional competences, and preventing behavior and emotional problems. As a universal-selective prevention program, Papilio-6to9 includes all children in elementary school classes regardless of risk factors (universal prevention) whereby also children with risk factors are targeted without being stigmatised (selective prevention). The program targets elementary school children aged about six to nine and their teachers who receive a three-day training followed by two collegial supervisions to implement the program in and during regular school classes. Papilio-6to9 is part of an approach combining findings from developmentally appropriate practice, positive psychology, social-emotional learning, and developmentally appropriate prevention, and aligns with the early childhood education and care (ECEC)
Investigation on magnetic shield thickness of remote field eddy current probes for inspection of ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic plates

Since Remote field eddy current (RFEC) detection technology is barely limited by the skin effect, it can realize the defect detection of large-thickness components. Whereas, the structure of the RFEC probe for the planar conductor is complicated, resulting in an oversized probe. This hinders the application and development of the RFEC testing technology. In this paper, finite element simulations and experimental verification are used to optimize the RFEC probe structure for flat conductors. The results have shown that the thickness of the magnetic shield is the dominant factor in achieving high performance of RFEC inspection of flat conductors. When inspecting both ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic flat conductors, cylindrical magnetic shields with appropriate thickness and appropriate excitation frequencies are preferred for improvement of RFEC testing.
FDTD investigation of cylindrical waveguides with azimuthal corrugations excited by axisymmetric TE modes
Authors: Peponis Dimitrios , Latsas George , Tigelis Ioannis
Published: December 2022

In this work we investigated the scattering parameters and mode conversion of axisymmetric TE modes in smooth cylindrical waveguides with wedge-shaped azimuthal corrugations. In particular, we studied the effect of the length of the corrugated region on the scattering parameters and on the mode conversion. The field distribution was derived by the FDTD code COCHLEA and further post-processed using the COPP code. Results showed that the incident mode is converted to an ensemble of modes, the azimuthal indices of which are given by the SHM criterion. Azimuthal corrugated waveguides are usually employed in the gyrotron beam-tunnel to enhance the suppression of the parasitic modes.
