Development of recommendations for forming numerical models of the working process of axial compressors to calculate, using them, the operational boundaries of a pneumatic brake
Authors: Prokof'ev Andrey B. , Novikova Yuliya D. , Matveev Valeriy N.
Published: December 2024

To determine the operational boundaries of pneumatic brakes based on multistage axial compressors, recommendations have been developed for selecting the configuration and parameter values of the finite element flow mesh in these devices. The proposed recommendations allow for a reduction in the number of mesh elements in models of the compressor's inter-blade channels without decreasing the accuracy of determining the operational boundaries of pneumatic brakes. Testing of the developed recommendations has shown that their application enables more than a twofold reduction in the time required for the gas-dynamic design of pneumatic brakes.

A Tactical Model of Malicious Targeting – A Case Study of Reporting Racism on the Polish-Ukrainian Border at the Beginning of War in 2022
Authors: Rosińska Klaudia
Published: December 2024

The article is an analysis of disinformation about racism on the Polish-Ukrainian border. This article aims to show the process of creating a narrative and present the relationship between disinformation activities and the formation of the global divide. The research method is a case study based on a quantitative and qualitative content analysis of tweets of racism on the Polish-Ukrainian border in English (from February 26, 2022, to 13:00 on March 2, 2022). The main conclusions from the analysis are: Russian activities in the field of information are not accidental, but they are also not fully planned because they follow themes created by important actors such as journalists and public figures; the process of building harmful narratives has its stages, which often start with the malinformation, and then, thanks to the involvement of ordinary users, transform into misinformation and finally be directed as disinformation. The topic of racism is important in the geopolitical dimension and is addressed mainly to the societies of the Global South, to build a bloc of States that are in opposition to the domination of the US and the EU.
Festiwale organowe w Polsce – organizacja i zarządzanie
Authors: Bernat Sebastian
Published: December 2024

Festiwale organowe w Polsce są fenomenem kulturowym, gdyż są bardzo liczne i odbywają się zarówno w ośrodkach miejskich, jak i wiejskich, najczęściej w kościołach katolickich i protestanckich w sezonie letnim (urlopowym), kiedy nie funkcjonują instytucje kultury. Dotychczas jednak nie podejmowano kompleksowych badań nad festiwalami organowymi/muzyki organowej. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie wyników badań dotyczących ich organizacji i zarządzania. W badaniach wykorzystano metodę sondażu diagnostycznego skierowanego do organizatorów festiwali organowych w Polsce. Dodatkowo w badaniach uwzględniono materiały wtórne (głównie dostępne w Internecie). Organizacja festiwali organowych może przyczyniać się nie tylko do odkrywania i remontu zapomnianych lub zaniedbanych historycznych organów lub budowy nowych, koncertowych instrumentów, ale także do wzrostu wrażliwości odbiorców na piękno oraz zainteresowania ich dziedzictwem kulturowym (instrument, obiekt, muzyka). Jest też wyrazem kulturotwórczej funkcji parafii i formą wsparcia społecznego (integrującego).
Recepcja muzyczno-liturgicznej reformy Soboru Watykańskiego II w diecezji opolskiej: między tradycją a współczesnością
Authors: Świecarz Grzegorz
Published: December 2024

Artykuł analizuje recepcję muzyczno-liturgicznej reformy Soboru Watykańskiego II w diecezji opolskiej, zwracając szczególną uwagę na adaptację soborowych wytycznych w kontekście lokalnych uwarunkowań kulturowych i religijnych. Proces wdrażania reformy był złożony i obejmował zarówno oficjalne działania instytucji kościelnych, jak i oddolne inicjatywy twórców muzyki sakralnej. Kluczową rolę odegrali lokalni muzycy, kompozytorzy i pedagodzy, tacy jak Alfred Bączkowicz, Józef Chudalla czy ks. Grzegorz Poźniak, którzy swoim zaangażowaniem przyczynili się do rozwoju nowego repertuaru muzycznego i harmonijnego połączenia tradycji z nowoczesnością. Artykuł przedstawia szczegóły procesu recepcji reformy, ukazując, jak działania edukacyjne, formacyjne i redakcyjne przyczyniły się do wzmocnienia roli muzyki w liturgii oraz kultywowania jej dziedzictwa. Wnioski sugerują, że recepcja reformy jest nadal procesem dynamicznym, a muzyka liturgiczna pełni kluczową funkcję w integracji wiernych z liturgią i podtrzymywaniu tradycji Kościoła w diecezji opolskiej.
Katechista, katecheta czy mistagog liturgiczny? Perspektywa teologiczna listu apostolskiego Antiquum ministerium
Authors: Głowacki Zbigniew
Published: December 2024

Wprowadzenie nowej posługi katechetycznej przyniosło w Kościele wiele pytań o jej tożsamość. W Kościele w Polsce wiązało się ono także z problemami terminologicznymi. Artykuł podejmuje problem jej teologicznego rozumienia w świetle listu apostolskiego Antiquum ministerium. Punktem wyjścia jest analiza tego dokumentu. Na tej podstawie wskazane zostały istotowe elementy wprowadzonego ministerium, która nie ogranicza się wyłącznie do intelektualnego przekazu wiary, lecz odnosi się do całości życia chrześcijańskiego. Ukazana została także posługa katechety w relacji do liturgii. Mimo że list nie precyzuje szczegółowych zadań katechety, daje klucz do zrozumienia jego tożsamośći. Posługa ta, mając charakter egzystencjalny, powinna być realizowana jako podstawowa forma przekazu wiary w inicjacji chrześcijańskiej. Drugim miejscem jej wykonywania powinna być katecheza stała realizowana w warunkach parafialnych. Szczególną przestrzenią dla katechety jest przygotowanie do sakramentów, które powinno być prowadzone metodą mistagogiczną.
Use of Sphingomonas yunannensis to Improve Soil Drought Stress in Chili Plants
Authors: Ramadhani Sri Astuti Andi Febrianti , Rahayu Widyastuti  , Yusuf Sri Malahayati
Published: December 2024

The availability of water plays an important role in plant growth. However, water availability depends on the climate and irrigation channels; therefore, there is little water available for plants during the dry season. Bacteria found in soil can produce exopolysaccharides to survive under extreme land conditions, namely, during drought conditions. The research objectives were to (1) isolate and select bacteria originating from dry land for use on chili plants and (2) determine the effect of water supply frequency and select soil bacteria on chili plants. The experiment consisted of two stages. (1) Bacterial selection and characteristics, which included exopolysaccharide bacteria selection on specific ATCC No. media. 14; pathogenicity test (hypersensitivity and hemolysis); characterization and biochemical testing including pH, temperature, salinity, oxidation, and catalase; bacterial functional tests (P and K solvents and nitrogen-fixing); and (2) tests of chili plants in the greenhouse. The treatment consisted of two factors: (a) application of selected bacteria, (b) frequency of water application (every 1, 2, 3, and 5 days), and (3) molecular identification of selected bacteria. The results showed that the best growth of chili plants was obtained by treating them with bacteria and watering them every other day. Molecular identification demonstrated that the selected bacteria was Sphingomonas yunannensis, which can grow under environmental conditions affected by drought.

Numerical Simulation of Flow Behavior in an Open Channel Incoperating A Series of Groins
Authors: Jyoti Suman , Hossain Monir , Babu Sumon , Bhandari Bishnu Prasad , Ibrahim Md.
Published: December 2024

Rivers in Nepal, India and Bangladesh exhibit significant instability due to their loose banks, gentle slopes at both the riverbed and water surface, and irregular sedimentation patterns resulting from substantial sediment loads originating upstream. To mitigate the impact of this instability, groins are constructed along the riverbanks to redirect the flow of water away from areas at risk. However, in numerous instances, traditional groins have proven ineffective. It is essential to conduct comprehensive studies on the performance of groins with various configurations to protect riverbanks from erosion, enhance navigation, and promote the biodiversity of aquatic species. The primary aim of this research is to simulate flow in an open channel using a series of groin models through the application of the 2D numerical model, iRIC Nays2DH. This numerical simulation employs the K-ε model for turbulence and the Cubic Interpolation Pseudo-particle (CIP) method for handling advective terms. Simulation of flow fields due to interaction of series of impermeable, permeable and combined groins placed in a straight channel has been made. A given flow condition is applied for all the groins. The simulation results depict that combined groins in series influence favorable flow fields compared to impermeable and fully permeable groins. This causes water zone near bank at the downstream of impermeable part, then slow flow through the permeable part. No strong circulation of flow at groin field and strong current after the groin head is present.

Bio´´etica e medicina na sociedade tecnológica
Authors: Paulo Neto Alberto , Sganzerla Anor , Eduardo de Siqueira José , Díaz Amado Eduardo
Published: December 2024

A história da medicina como ciência é marcada pelo processo de racionalização de seus pressupostos e procedimentos terapêuticos. A arte médica adotou o paradigma da cientificidade em sua forma de estabelecer a relação médico-paciente. Houve uma mudança nessa relação que se tornou mais objetiva e fundada em dados estatísticos, a medicina baseada em evidências. A capacidade de escutar e olhar para a pessoa enferma foi reduzida pelo pujante compromisso com o resultado e a eficiência do procedimento terapêutico. Esse artigo tem o propósito de questionar, a partir dos referenciais teóricos da Bioética, essa apodítica obrigação de curar em todas as circunstâncias.
The vulnerability of data genetics holders in the biotechnology revolution
Authors: Boff Salete Oro , Alcantara Ana Julia Oliveira
Published: December 2024

Technological advances in the genetic area arouse interest, as they make it possible to diagnose and eliminate genetic diseases at an increasingly earlier stage, even at an embryonic stage. However, the use of data obtained from testing may lead to discriminatory consequences. The purpose of this work is to analyze the degree of vulnerability of genetic data holders in the information society, in a context in which personal data are at the center of struggles for power. The increase in the economic value of information, combined with the ease of acquiring, maintaining and storing data, such as genetic data, makes a global debate on data protection, the potential for economic exploitation and the protection of its holders essential
ANOMÁHLIA:
Authors: Fuentes María Josefina Azócar
Published: December 2024

O artigo propõe sentir-pensar a pesquisa artística (PA) como uma prática dissidente e provocativa nos contextos acadêmicos do sul-sul, especificamente no Chile. Para fazer isso, reflete a partir das dificuldades e possibilidades que a PA tem tido para ser compreendida e incorporada na sua potência de criar conhecimento situado dentro da academia do sul-sul. Isso nos permitirá compartilhar um modo de sentir-pensar que serve de arcabouço argumentativo do valor político de Anomáhlia, pesquisa artística im-produtiva, desenvolvida pela autora, pesquisadora-artista latino-americana, como parte de seu projeto final de doutorado na Europa. Esta pesquisa é considerada dissidente na medida em que agita e provoca os contextos acadêmicos em que se desenvolve, tanto pelo questionamento que faz da prática vocal artística validada para o palco, quanto por sua promiscuidade na hibridação que realiza, entrelaçando linguagens e metodologias científicas e artísticas.
Jak to z tym cisem było? Drewno cisowe jako surowiec do produkcji naczyń klepkowych w kontekście wczesnośredniowiecznych znalezisk nekropolicznych pochodzących z ziem polskich
Authors: Kurasiński Tomasz
Published: December 2024

Analizy paleobotaniczne wskazują, że wśród naczyń klepkowych notowanych w grobach na terenie ziem polskich przeważają okazy wykonane z drewna cisowego (14 egzemplarzy). Częste wyposażanie pochówków w pojemniki cisowe znajduje potwierdzenie dla wielu obszarów europejskich i nie ogranicza się tylko do wczesnego średniowiecza. Obserwacja ta skłania do postawienia pytania o powody, dla których preferowano ten rodzaj surowca. Przyczyn upatrywać należy w korzystnych parametrach technologiczno-użytkowych drewna cisowego, co przejawiało się w jego trwałości i odporności w zmiennych warunkach wilgotnościowych. Po odpowiedniej obróbce zapewniało ono wytrzymałość i szczelność naczynia. Nie bez znaczenia była także efektowna barwa, podnosząca walory wizualne pojemnika. Istnieją jednak przesłanki świadczące o tym, że nadrzędne znaczenie mogły mieć treści wierzeniowo-magiczne i symboliczne wiążące się z cisem, drzewem budzącym skojarzenia ze śmiercią, żałobą i sferą pozadoczesną, a jednocześnie ze stałością i nieśmiertelnością. Mamy tego świadectwa w wielu kulturach. Wiązało się to z biologicznymi właściwościami i siedliskowymi preferencjami cisu. Niemal wszystkie części tego długowiecznego i trwałego drzewa wykazują bowiem silne działanie toksyczne. Wobec powyższego zastanawia, czy naczynia wytwarzane z tego tworzywa pełnić mogły funkcje naczyń użytkowych. Liczne pozostałości wczesnośredniowiecznych naczyń i innych przedmiotów codziennego użytku pochodzących z terenów ziem polskich, wykonanych z drewna cisowego, wykluczają raczej możliwość ich znacznej szkodliwości dla zdrowia człowieka. Potwierdzają to wyniki specjalistycznych analiz, aczkolwiek wskazywana jest konieczność dalszych badań uzupełniających. Konotacje cisu ze sferą zaświatową szczególnie dobrze określają przydatność naczyń cisowych w obrzędowości pogrzebowej, nie tylko – jak w przypadku innych naczyń wkładanych do grobów – w samym kulcie zmarłych, ale też w charakterze wyznacznika statusu pochowanej osoby. Dzięki poręcznym rozmiarom i funkcjonalności, a zwłaszcza specjalnemu i cennemu drewnu, pojemniki te nadawały się do spożywania posiłków bądź trunków na stołach przedstawicieli warstw uprzywilejowanych.
Tall Leather Boots From the Death Pits of Polish Officers – Victims of the Soviet Regime During World War II

Published: December 2024

Footwear has long been a vital component of human attire, particularly for ancient warriors, knights, and soldiers over the centuries. Along with the development of technology and warfare, footwear has also been transformed many times in numerous ways. The primary objective behind those changes was to create better foot protection against various traumas and ensure greater comfort while walking. However, even the most durable boots eventually succumbed to wear and tear due to excessive use or mechanical damage, whether during times of war or peace. The boots unearthed from the death pits of Polish officers, executed by the Soviet NKVD in 1940, serve as examples of this reality.
Plotki, nieporozumienia i konflikty we fraucymerach żon króla Zygmunta Augusta
Authors: Januszek-Sieradzka Agnieszka
Published: December 2024

Fraucymer, stanowiący najbliższe otoczenie królowej, to licząca z reguły kilkanaście osób grupa kobiet – matron, dworek, panien służebnych oraz żeńskiej służby. Przekazy źródłowe, które pokazywałby codzienne, mniej oficjalne, przebiegające w komnatach niewieścich życie fraucymeru, są nad wyraz skromne nie tylko dla okresu średniowiecza, ale także dla stulecia XVI. Z natury rzeczy informacje o nim pozostawały w ścianach kobiecych pomieszczeń – zaangażowane w nie kobiety, także królowe, nie pozostawiały z reguły pisemnych świadectw fraucymerowej codzienności. Kwestia wewnętrznych stosunków we fraucymerach żon Zygmunta Augusta jest oświetlona przede wszystkim dlatego, że w przypadku tych niewieścich środowisk dysponujemy źródłami nie do przecenienia, jakimi są źródła epistolarne. Fraucymer był tym środowiskiem, które szczególnie łączono z kolportowaniem plotek, a konflikty w nim miały przede wszystkim podłoże charakterologiczne i kompetencyjne. Istotnym ich źródłem były również niezaspokojone matrymonialne oczekiwania królewskich dworek. Kobiece nieporozumienia i plotki – w przeciwieństwie do tych rozsiewanych przez mężczyzn – uznawane były z reguły za naturalny i nieunikniony element dworskiego życia, który trzeba raczej lekceważyć i pomijać milczeniem niż nadawać mu przesadne znaczenie.
„Raz cię ucieszy, a dziesięć zasmęci” Wizerunek kobiety w kalendarzach zamojskiego profesora Stanisława Niewieskiego z drugiej połowy wieku XVII
Authors: Szamik Monika
Published: December 2024

Celem artykułu jest analiza wizerunku kobiety w satyrycznych epigramatach z kalendarzy autorstwa Stanisława Niewieskiego (ok. 1645–1699), profesora fizyki, matematyki i medycyny, rektora Akademii Zamojskiej. Kalendarze jego autorstwa wyróżniają się na tle innych dużą liczbą krótkich utworów wierszowanych o tematyce społeczno-obyczajowej, które w większości dotyczą kobiet. Mimo wzrostu zainteresowania tematyką kobiecą, teksty te nie były dotychczas analizowane pod kątem ukazania w nich kobiet. W artykule dokonano analizy tekstów Niewieskiego, zaprezentowano, jakimi treściami była inspirowana jego twórczość, a także porównano ją z innymi przykładami polskiej satyry antykobiecej XVII w.

Published: December 2024

O estudo tem por objetivo compreender como as resistências afetam a capacitação continuada dos servidores de uma instituição pública por meio do e-learning. Para tanto, utilizamos como modelo teórico a Teoria de Resistência à EaD na Educação Corporativa (READEC) (Albertin; Brauer, 2012). Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, onde foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com quinze servidores estaduais, analisadas sob a técnica de análise de conteúdo. Como resultados, identificamos o bom rendimento e disciplina entre alguns servidores, enquanto outros tendem a procrastinar e necessitam de interação presencial. Observamos ainda que, apesar de a maioria dos servidores apresentar facilidade no uso da plataforma virtual, houve relatos que o sistema é complexo, o que pode representar uma resistência. Constou-se, ainda, que o monitoramento e feedback do professor também pode representar uma resistência. Com relação à estrutura técnica e organizacional, identificamos um fácil acesso ao suporte, além de perceber que o sistema possui ferramentas suficientes, porém, observou-se a falta de recursos e materiais.

Authors:   East European and Balkan Institute, Kim Shinkyu
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the influence of populism and populist parties in Lithuanian party system. For this purpose, this paper reviews the polarization and democratization of the Lithuanian party system and the populism index, and examines whether populism similar to the hard-line populism that has recently been spreading in Hungary and Poland is emerging in Lithuania. Section 2 summarizes the background and characteristics of the ‘semi-presidential system’, which can be said to be the biggest feature of Lithuania, and examines the characteristics of the overall political system and the development of democracy. Section 3 summarizes Lithuania's electoral system and the results of the past eight general elections, and examines the effective number of political parties and electoral volatility. Section 4 analyzes the characteristics of Lithuanian political parties and party system and distinguishes types of party system. In Section 5, the conclusion confirms that Lithuanian party system has been transitioning from a polarized multi-party system to a moderate multi-party system through the results of the EP election in June and the general election in October 2024.

Foreign Experience in Managing Educational Emigration of Youth
Authors: Kuznetsov Nikita
Published: December 2024

Educational migration has become an integral part of the development of higher education systems in large countries and a way to solve several social, economic, and demographic problems. The article analyzes the approaches of a few states to the regulation of outbound educational migration, i.e. aimed at preserving human capital within the country, or an attempt to attract students studying abroad to scientific, social, cultural, or economic projects implemented by the country. The article identifies three groups of tools used in the state policy of educational migration management: retention, return and involvement. Examples of countries implementing certain programs belonging to these three groups are given. The paper analyzes the shortcomings of domestic methods of managing the flows of educational migrants and makes recommendations that could be considered when adjusting national policy in this area, allowing expanding the target audience of measures already being implemented, as well as allowing Russia to use the potential of students abroad of domestic students within the framework of “brain circulation”.
Non-Standard Demographic Policy Solutions Aimed at Increasing the Birth Rate
Authors: Verbenskaya Alena , Kamarova Tatiana , Tonkikh Natalia
Published: December 2024

The problem of declining birth rate in Russia is posed and possible solutions are explored through the search for new policies. Objectives of the study: to analyze the demographic situation over the past few years; to conduct a statistical assessment of the growth reserve of births from remarriages; to consider measures to create opportunities for single people to find a couple, including remarriages. The analysis of changes in the number of marriages and divorces on the territory of Russia has revealed a significant proportion of people in unregistered marriages. The study of Rosstat data for the last decade revealed that the age category of 30–34 years and older is the most promising for remarriage. However, the high childcare burden on mothers and the underdeveloped paternity leave system in Russia act as deterrents to planning more children. To identify effective practices, foreign experiences in fertility stimulation were analyzed. The results of the study indicate a wide range of measures, from strict to milder, and the possibility of adapting some of them to develop recommendations aimed at increasing fertility in Russia. The findings of the study emphasize the need for a comprehensive approach to solving this problem, since material incentives and harsh measures, as the practice of other countries has shown, are not effective. Now, material incentives for fertility prevail in Russia, but attention should also be paid to the creation of organizational opportunities for people who want to find a couple and build a family– this topic needs further development.

До питання про інновації терміно-поняттєвої системи в українській ономастиці воєнного періоду ХХІ століття
Authors: Beley Oleh
Published: December 2024

Стаття присвячена теоретичній проблематиці із сфери української ономастики воєнного періоду. Як відомо, потужні зміни в житті українського суспільства 2014–2024 років торкнулись функціонування онімної системи (як на рівні традиційних, так і на рівні «нових» видів пропріальної лексики), що відповідно підняло цілий ряд теоретичних питань щодо функціонування термінологічно-поняттєвої системи української ономастики останнього періоду. На основі зробленого аналізу можна ствердити: сучасна українська ономастика розглядає ергонімію, урбонімію та хрематонімію (прагматонімію) як автономні онімніпідсистеми, які вписались в невід’ємний склад компонентів онімного ландшафту України воєнного періоду. У контексті питання стратифікації сучасної урбононімії, хрематонімії та ергонімії визначальну роль можуть відігравати тільки чітко окреслені об’єкти номінації (денотати), репертуар яких стало розширюється. Зокрема серед новоутворених онімних різновидів можна відзначити мілітарергоніми та мілітарпрагматоніми. Згадані пропріальні класи української мови ХХІ ст. продовжують характеризуватися такими визначальними рисами, як-от: вторинність, суб’єктивність, суспільнополітична та військово-патріотична зумовленість.
The Tachtigers’ ideology in D.G. Jelgersma’s portraits of Francis Bacon and Thomas Hobbes in “De Nieuwe Gids”
Authors: Paluszek Przemysław A.
Published: December 2024

This article examines D.G. Jelgersma’s presentation of Francis Bacon and Thomas Hobbes to late 19th-century Dutch readers and investigates the presence of these ideas in the 19th-century Dutch socio-political discourse. In his contributions “Francis Bacon” and “Thomas Hobbes”, which were printed in De Nieuwe Gids – a periodical meant to express the views of the Dutch literary avant-garde of the 1880s – Jelgersma attempts to define the origins and development of ervaringswijsbegeerte (empirical philosophy). Published in a review whose main objective was to renew not only Dutch literature and culture but also the nation’s social and political spheres, Jelgersma’s articles are not free from ideology. Both texts show that Bacon’s and Hobbes’ ideas were current in the contemporary discussions of scientific, social, political, and theological issues in the 19th-century Netherlands. All the same, Jelgersma’s presentation of the material was not entirely unbiased since the author, who made contributions to the Tachtigers’ literary review designed for the ‘literary revival’ public, could not but share at least some of their revolutionary beliefs.

Authors: Ene Jacinta , Ajibo Henry Tochukwu
Published: December 2024

The involvement of under-18s in legal unions has become a topical human rights concern. It appears to be more prevalent among female children from low-resource family settings, manifesting as another shade of gender inequality. The consequences of child marriages are enormous, affecting the psychosocial, physical and health status of victims. This study details the experiences of victims of child marriages, with concerns about females from low-resource family settings in Nigeria. The study employed a qualitative method of data collection utilizing Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) to elicit data from 12 female participants who are currently married and aged below 18 years and four renowned women residing in the community who are conversant with the issue in Enugu, Nigeria. Findings revealed that child marriage still prevails, though with the full consent of some girls, whereas others were lured. The result suggests that child marriage is adopted as a cover-up strategy by parents when dealing with poverty/teenage pregnancy. Other factors exacerbating child marriage were social norms, family size, structure, ignorance, deception, lack of support services and poverty level. Identified consequences of child marriage were health hazards, physical, emotional and financial difficulties. Coping strategies used by victims of child marriage were attending religious gatherings, adopting traditional medication/birth control methods and engaging in petty income-yielding businesses. Assistance for child brides came only from religious groups and good-spirited community members. Social workers’ engagement in the fight towards ending child marriage in Nigeria was not visible owing to poor involvement in child protection services. The study therefore recommends intensified efforts by social workers and the Nigerian government to enforce policies that will protect the girl-child, challenge the social norms and mitigate gender-based discrimination and violence. Government and non-governmental organizations in collaboration with social workers should brace-up efforts to ensure that welfare packages trickle down to child brides and ultimately end child marriage in Nigeria.

Published: December 2024

Complex energy system is an important component of zero-carbon building. Due to the complex form of the system and the difficult to capture the characteristics of thermoelectric coupling interaction, the operation control of zero-carbon building energy system is difficult in practical engineering. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out relevant optimization methods. This paper investigated the current research status of control and scheduling of complex energy systems in zero-carbon buildings at home and abroad, selected a typical zero-carbon building as the research object, analyzed its energy system operation, and proposed an operation scheduling algorithm based on day-ahead flexible programming and day-day rolling optimization. The multi-energy flow control model is developed to optimize the operation strategy of heat pump, photovoltaic and energy storage systems. Then, the paper applied the algorithm model to a typical zero-carbon building project, and verified the actual effect of the method through the actual operation data. After applying the method in this paper, the self-absorption rate of photovoltaic power generation in the building increased by 7.13%. The research results provide theoretical model and data support for the operation control of zero-carbon building complex energy system, and help promote the market application of complex energy system.

Published: December 2024

Rajasthan, India’s largest state by area, faces persistent challenges in delivering healthcare due to its expansive geography, diverse terrains, and predominantly rural demographic. With over three-fourths of its population spread across 44,672 villages, many in remote or disaster-prone regions, accessing timely medical care is a significant challenge. Drone technology offers an innovative solution to these barriers, enabling the efficient, cost-effective delivery of medical supplies, vaccines, diagnostic samples, and emergency aid to underserved communities. This paper examines the transformative potential of drones in addressing Rajasthan's healthcare disparities. Drones have proven effective in enhancing maternal, neonatal, and child health outcomes by ensuring the timely delivery of essential medicines and vaccines. They also support the management of chronic communicable diseases, such as tuberculosis, by expediting diagnostic sample transportation and medication distribution. In emergencies, drones provide critical supplies to isolated areas, overcoming logistical constraints posed by damaged infrastructure or impassable terrain. Notable Indian initiatives, such as Redcliffe Labs’ drone corridor and similar projects in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, demonstrate the feasibility and impact of drone-based healthcare systems. These programs have significantly reduced delivery times, enhanced service accessibility, and fostered local economic growth. Leveraging such advancements, Rajasthan can establish an equitable healthcare infrastructure that addresses the unique challenges of its diverse and remote regions. This paper highlights drones as a pivotal tool for bridging healthcare gaps, improving outcomes, and ensuring that even the most isolated populations receive timely and quality medical care.

Authors: Frondana Luca , Farias Daniel da Rosa , Schleder Delano Dias
Published: December 2024

This study aimed to identify the predominant bacterial populations in sardine samples with high histamine content (≥ 200 mg*kg-1) and histamine-free (< 1 mg*kg-1). For this study, 1,000 g of muscle samples were collected from 40–45 sardines per batch, all obtained from the same supplier, fishing area and period, for histamine analysis. Samples (1 g) from five different batches with ≥ 200 mg*kg-1 of histamine (named histamine group) and five with < 1 mg*kg-1 (named no-histamine group) were submitted to microbial analysis by extracting the total DNA, followed by polymerase chain reaction of the V3-V4 region of 16S rRNA gene and Ilumina sequencing (Mi-Seq, paired-end). In total, 18 different operational taxonomic units were identified in all samples. Sardines with high histamine content exhibited lower microbial diversity and a higher abundance of the genera Photobacterium and Shewanella. These bacteria thrive under mild temperatures and indicate fish spoilage and the production of biogenic amines. In contrast, Psychrobacter and Pseudoalteromonas, known to withstand harsh conditions, including low temperatures, were more prevalent in histamine-free sardines. Our findings point out to a marked change in the bacterial community of sardines with high and no histamine content, even though they are from the same fishing area, period, and shipment.
