Careful study of history sooner or later leads to the researcher to the conclusion that many historical facts, sources, events contradict each other. The textbooks of history gloss over this, and alternative accounts of history, as a rule, are subjective bias of textbook authors or politicians order. The article talks about the need Objective multivariance of history, on multivariance of the past.
Geometry of elementary particles
Authors: Boldov I.A.
Published: October 2024

Based on the assumption that there is no direct causal relationship between the defect in the mass of atomic nuclei and the forces holding the nucleons in the nucleus [1], the hypothesis is put forward that the quarks are nucleons with whole Coulomb and other (baryon, lepton) charges. Based on the conclusions obtained by the author [1] that there is no fundamental prohibition on the use of approaches and concepts of the macrocosm in the physics of the microcosm, and that the mass in the space of our Universe is equivalent to a three-dimensional volume, a comparison of the geometry of elementary particles and quarks to regular (semi-regular) polyhedra is proposed. It is assumed that the mass of a particle is determined by the volume of the corresponding polyhedron-a quark (or the sum of the volumes of quarks, with a discrete (quantized) edge length of the polyhedron. An assumption is made about the possibility of oscillation not only of neutrinos, but also of oscillations of other charged leptons (quarks) occurring during particle decays, with non-preservation of symmetry groups of quarks-polyhedra, as well as about the possibility of intra-group oscillation of pairs of identical quarks. It is suggested that during the processes of creation or decay of particles, quark-antiquark pairs (𝑞𝑞¯) are always present in space due to ¡¡boiling vacuum¿¿. Taking into account the above, the formulas of particle reactions are given in a strict mathematical form. The sums of quarks (leptons) before the reaction and after are equal, taking into account the oscillations. Computer modeling is carried out - comparison of the masses of elementary particles to the sums of polyhedra for mesons, baryons, tetraquarks, pentaquarks and hexaquarks. An attempt is made to systematize the entire list of elementary particles in ¡¡Tables of quark combinations¿¿, similar to the Table of D.I. Mendeleev for chemical elements. In the proposed tables, all elementary particles of a given set of quarks and of different masses are assumed in each cell. The shape of nucleons with external quarks-cubes obtained as a result of the juxtaposition of quarks-polyhedra gives reason to assume the spatial anisotropy of the so-called ”nuclear forces” in the form of six orthogonal directions of interaction.
Analysis of vortex-induced forces on the group of subsea structures in proximity of equipment at re=3900
Authors: Annapeh H.F. , Kurushina V.A.
Published: October 2024

Fluctuations of fluid forces associated with the vortex formation process are evaluated in this work for a group of subsea pipelines, placed in proximity of a larger piece of the subsea equipment and subjected to uniform and non-uniform flows. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations are performed for the average Reynolds number of 3900 with the k-𝜔 SST turbulence model. Three different positions for the smaller staggered cylinders are considered, and the studied flow profiles are the uniform, linearly sheared and parabolic sheared flows. Simulation results include time histories of the hydrodynamic coefficients, FFT results, pressure on the smaller structures, velocity fields. Results for the parabolic sheared flow in the cases considered show an increase of mean drag coefficients, increase of amplitudes of the fluctuating drag and lift coefficients compared to values observed for the uniform flow and linearly sheared flow.
The stability of non-homogenous two-layered plates in anisotropy resisting condition
Authors: Mamedli R.E.
Published: October 2024

In this article, the stability of non-homogenous two-layered rectangular plates in anisotropy resisting condition made from different non-homogenous materials is explored. It is assumed that the characteristics of resilient layers are continuous functions of thickness coordinate. Considering Kirchhoff-Lyow hypothesis to be valid for the entire thickness of the plate elements, generalized form of the correct expression of moments and general strength and stiffness properties have been determined and voltage stability of the system of equations has been taken by the function. Here resisting elastic anisotropy model was adopted for the environment. A slab-sided state of contraction was examined in detail. Despite the edges of the plate matter of dissolving, the critical force was assigned. To achieve numerical computations, non-homogeneous functions were accepted to be linearly dependent on the thickness coordinate. Calculations were made in the report and appropriate graphics was established.
The Problem of the Nature of the Athenian Democracy in the 4th Century B.C. in the Modern German Historiography
Authors: Rotermel Lyudmila R.
Published: October 2024

The author analyzes the debating points in the study of the Athenian democracy in the 4th century B.C. by the modern German classical studies. Although historians have rejected the view according to which the Athenian democracy reached its zenith in the second half of the 5th century B.C., followed by a decay after the Peloponnesian war, the nature of the Athenian democracy in the 4th century is still under debate. The German researchers mainly focus on the following issues: was the 4th century a qualitatively new stage in the development of the Athenian democracy, or was the Athenian democracy uniform throughout the whole classic period; this raises a question of the correlation between ecclesia and heliaia; can we say that the supremacy of Demos in the 4th century gives way to the supremacy of law? The article focuses on the works that research the institutional aspect of the Athenian democracy since it appears to be crucial for discussing the problem of the nature of the Athenian democracy in the 4th century. The views of the German researchers, whose works were analyzed in the article, can be summarized as the following theses. Demos exercised direct dominance through ecclesia and heliaia and maintained control over the law making process. At the same time, the researchers acknowledge the significant changes in the political system of the Athenian democracy, the main purpose of which was to enhance its protection from any internal and external threats. Although law started to play a more important role for the polis in the 4th century, we cannot admit that the supremacy of law was established: in the end, departing from the law to protect the democratic order was not only permitted but also considered rightful.

Motherhood and assistance: Religious formation of sons and daughters of Salesian Cooperators (Buenos Aires, 1900-1930)
Authors: Bracamonte Lucía
Published: October 2024

This paper focuses in the experience of mothers that have leader roles in sale-sian cooperative commissions between 1900 and 1930. The objective is to analize, based on journalist, administrative and letter sources, how they combine the maternity and the beneficence in the education and religious socialization of their children. It searches adding complexity to the characterization of the women interventions in the catholic movement, paying attention to the relations between the domestic and public spheres. Their participation as cooperators was intertwined with the family and home dimension of the religious education adding a public dimension to it. That imprint of the salesian cooperation about the motherhood rol was incremented when the commissions generated formal spaces oriented to children and youngs of their familiar and friendship relations in the decade of 1920.Keywords: women; salesian; childhood; youth; religion
Negative effects of casualisation in Sokoto, Nigeria’s banking sector
Authors: Dabai Usman Ibrahim , Lyndon Novel
Published: October 2024

Contract workers are the direct victims of casualization but beyond that, the effects they suffer transcend to their families and the larger society. The study examined the effects of casualization on the contract workers of banks in Sokoto, Nigeria. The primary methods of gathering data for the study were in-depth and key informant interviews, with sixty individuals who were specifically chosen. Following content analysis, the gathered data were presented narratively with verbatim quotations. According to the study, there are a number of negative effects of casualization, such as low wages that contribute to a low standard of living and the inability of employees and their families to adequately meet their basic needs, the arbitrary termination of casual employees without cause, and the lack of a claim for work-related injuries or diseases in the event of an accident or death. The overall inference is that the temporary employees are working in appallingly subpar conditions. The study suggests that in order to raise the living standards of their temporary employees, banks should provide welfare packages. Additionally, because inflation is on the rise, contract employees’ compensation should be reviewed upward.

Authors: Meng Wensi , Dolah Jasni
Published: October 2024

To better analyze the tourist experience of the Jinsha Site Museum, this study adopts a mixed research method, combined with questionnaire surveys, interviews, and online review data, to comprehensively analyze the tourist experience from three dimensions: cognition, emotion, and behavior. After statistical analysis of 223 questionnaire surveys and analysis of 530 online comments, it was found that tourists’ overall satisfaction with the Jinsha Site Museum reached 95.3%. In the feedback on interactive exhibitions, 63.8% of tourists hoped to add more interactive elements and technological applications. The above results indicate that the Jinsha Site Museum has been widely recognized by tourists in providing historical and cultural exhibitions and modern facility services. However, to meet the needs of more tourists, museums should consider innovating and upgrading in interactive exhibitions, adding technological interactive elements, and improving the usability and responsiveness of equipment.

Authors: Akyazı Rana , Soysal Mete , Ueckermann Edward A.
Published: October 2024

Kiwifruit, Actinidia deliciosa (A. Chev.) C. F. Liang and A. R. Ferguson, is a deciduous vine or shrub in the family Actiniaceae grown for its edible fruit. Türkiye is one of the countries that started kiwi cultivation late. However, with the increase in newly established and productive gardens, it is among the most important countries in the world for kiwi production. The study was carried out to determine leaf-inhabiting mite species in kiwi vines in Türkiye from 2018 to 2022. Surveys were conducted in seven sampling areas in the Ordu, Black Sea Region, Türkiye where the kiwi is cultivated. Leaf samples were collected at 10–15-day intervals from June to November each sampling year. The number of sampled plants per site was determined according to the total number of plants in each kiwi vine. Approximately, 20 leaves from each plant were collected on each sampling date. A total of 24 mite species belonging to 2 orders, 8 families and 15 genera including Phytoseiidae (10 species), Tydeidae (5), Tenuipalpidae (3), Tarsonemidae (2), Cheyletidae (1), Iolinidae (1), Stigmaeidae (1) and Tetranychidae (1) were identified during the study, The results revealed that Ordu's kiwifruit vines are highly abundant in beneficial mite species. The limited use of pesticides in the area may account for this.

Published: October 2024

Nowadays, the emphasis is on improving the integrity of precision castings of Fe, Ni and Co alloys (improving the mechanical properties of the material and increasing process efficiency) more than ever before. For this reason, a technology has been developed which is a combination of low-pressure casting and investment casting. The premise of the combination of these technologies is that a high degree of automation should be achieved, based on low-pressure casting, while bottom filling will reduce reoxidation phenomena during filling. Mainly due to the higher purity of the melt, higher values of mechanical properties in conjunction with shape and geometric accuracy are expected, which guarantees the investment casting. For this purpose, an experimental casting machine has been designed, which is a combination of these two technologies, where we are able to eliminate the disadvantages of low-pressure casting, which include, for example, the low variability of the usable materials, as well as the disadvantages of investment casting, which include the low automation of the process. Using an experimental machine, tensile and impact test samples were cast and subsequently tested. From the initial experiments, it can be said that using this technology we are able to cast materials based on Fe alloys, Ni alloys and Co alloys with mechanical property values that are even close to or within the range of mechanical properties of the formed materials. As a result, the mechanical properties of castings cast by the LPIC method are shown to be tougher and stronger.
The Influence of Cooling Rate on the Damping Characteristics of the ZnAl27Cu2 Alloy
Authors: Piwowarski G. , Cepielik J.
Published: October 2024

The paper presents the results of damping coefficient tests on the ZnAl27Cu2 alloy (ZL27). The tested alloy was cast into five types of molds made of different materials (a steel mold with an ambient temperature of 20°C, a steel mold with a temperature of 100°C, a humid green sand mold, a dried green sand mold and a mold made of foundry gypsum mass). The thermophysical properties of these materials are different, and that's affecting the rate of heat absorption from the cast. Different mold materials affect obtaining different cooling rates. The cooling rate significantly affects the microstructure of the tested alloy. The specimens of investigate alloy were subjected to ultrasound and microscopic tests to assess the alloy structure. The damping coefficient has been calculated on the basis of specimen measurements obtained with the use of the signal echo method. Research shows that high structural fragmentation adversely affects the damping properties of alloys is confirmed. On the other hand, very low cooling rate, resulting in the formation of large, overgrown dendrites, does not guarantee the highest vibration damping capacity for this particular alloy. It turns out in this case a humid green sand mold, (cooling rate of 5.1 K/s) guarantees the best damping properties for the ZL27 alloy.
Ultrasound Imaging of Nonlinear Media Response Using a Pressure-Dependent Nonlinearity Index
Authors: Nowicki Andrzej , Tasinkiewicz Jurij , Karwat Piotr , Trots Ihor , Zołek Norbert , Tymkiewicz Ryszard
Published: October 2024

It has been shown that within the range of acoustic pressures used in ultrasound imaging, waveforms are distorted during propagation in tissue due to the physically nonlinear behavior of the tissue. This distortion leads to changes in the spectrum of the received ultrasound echoes, causing the transfer of signal energy from the fundamental frequency to higher harmonics. Interestingly, adipose tissue exhibits up to 50 % stronger nonlinear behavior compared to other soft tissues. The tissue nonlinearity parameter B/A is typically measured ex vivo using an ultrasound method in transmission mode, which requires extensive receiving systems. Currently, there is no improved ultrasound method for measuring the B/A nonlinearity parameter in vivo, which could be used in assessing the degree of fatty liver disease. We propose a new, simple approach to estimating nonlinear tissue properties. The proposed method involves transmitting ultrasound waves at significantly different acoustic pressures, recording echoes only in the fundamental frequency band at various depths, and introducing a nonlinearity index (NLI) based on specific echo amplitude ratios. The NLI at a given depth is calculated using the ratio of two dimensionless parameters. The first parameter is a predetermined constant obtained by dividing the total echo values from transmitting a signal at higher sound pressure by those from a signal at lower sound pressure, summed over a small tissue sample volume located near the transducer. The second parameter is calculated at a fixed distance from the transducer, determined by dividing the total echo values from transmitting a signal at higher sound pressure by those from a signal at lower pressure, summed over a small tissue volume of the tissue at that distance from the transducer. The reliability of the proposed measurements for assessing tissue nonlinearity has been substantiated through experimental confirmation of the existing correlations between the values of NLI and B/A in water, sunflower oil, and animal liver tissue samples with oil-enriched regions. The NLI was more than 15 % higher in sunflower oil than in water. The NLI in bovine liver sample below the area with injected oil (mimicking “steatosis”) was more than 35 % higher than in regions without oil. This method represents a promising modality for the nonlinear characterization of tissue regions in vivo, particularly for diagnosing fatty liver disease.
Evaluating Exercise as Punishment: Insights from the Delphi Method on Philippine School Practices
Authors: Tanucan Jem Cloyd M. , Wider Walton , Lobo Joseph , Udang Lester Naces , Sofyan Davi , Jiang Leilei
Published: October 2024

The study aimed to identify consensus among PE experts on using exercise as punishment (EAP) in Philippine schools. The study adopted a two-round Delphi method. In the first round, a survey with open-ended questions prompted experts to identify as many reasons as possible for the use of EAP in schools. This format gave the experts a more significant role in responding, as they could identify crucial themes related to EAP usage and then refine them into meaningful categories. The second round of the survey asked the experts to rank these identified factors based on their perceived importance. Based on the experts’ agreement, “EAP as a disciplinary tool” was ranked as the most significant dimension in the use of EAP in schools. Further factors impacting its use, including social pressure, physical health benefits, its connection to establishing authority, academic performance, athletic performance, and a lack of understanding about alternative disciplinary measures, were also identified. Despite its documented harms, the use of EAP persists in Philippine schools. This study reveals a complex web of drivers, including a persistent belief in EAP’s disciplinary effectiveness, external pressures for “tough” approaches, and a lack of awareness of positive alternatives. These factors create a cycle of conformity in which student well-being could suffer. To break this cycle, schools must prioritize fostering positive teacher-student relationships, equipping teachers, leaders, and staff with effective disciplinary strategies, and challenging misguided narratives around EAP’s supposed merits.
Benchmarking Aircraft Material/Spare Parts Suppliers’ Standards and Proposal a Model
Authors: Onen Vahap
Published: October 2024

Objective: The objective of this study is to compare the standards developed for aviation suppliers, each with its unique aspects, and propose a model that combines their strengths and opportunities, to benchmark aircraft material, and parts supplier standards and propose a model.
 
Theoretical Framework: Standards for aviation suppliers are essential for ensuring aircraft operations' effectiveness, safety, and high caliber. A combined aviation suppliers standard that would authorize providers of aircraft materials and parts worldwide under the one framework of this standard must be adopted to achieve this goal. The aviation industry has been using it since it is already at least recognized for so many different aircraft supplier standards.
 
Method: The methodology adopted for this research comprises a document content analysis method for the coding and comparison of the main supplier’s standards and non-hierarchical clustering analysis for the classification of standardization criteria used in the study.
 
Results and Discussion: According to coding analysis, thirty-two criteria were determined as the main representative of the standards and then they clustered into four categories. It is foresight that a model which contains FAA AC-0056B, asset management, risk management, and customer resource management criteria would cover these categories and a better representation of the holistic model. However, associations and local and regional civil aviation authorities, as well as aviation supplier firms in the industry need to convene, come to a consensus, and establish a common standard framework.
 
Research Implications:  Aviation suppliers, aircraft parts supply and chain management, airline technical supply management, maintenance repair stations, and manufacturers of aircraft materials and parts are all potentially affected.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by proposing a common aviation supplier standardization model for all interested parties. By doing so, airworthiness parts, materials, and aircraft also efficiency of supply and change management process can facilitate and improve.

Published: October 2024

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of irrigation levels and bio-stimulant doses on the production and post-harvest of the yellow melon variety Gladial F1, during different periods of the year.
 
Theoretical Framework: Irrigation management combined with the use of bio-stimulants has been employed in various agricultural crops to enhance their agronomic performance. Thus, its application may represent a promising alternative for melon cultivation in semiarid regions of northeastern Brazil.
 
Method: The experimental design used was randomized complete blocks with sub-subdivided plots. The main plots corresponded to four irrigation levels, the subplots to five doses of the bio-stimulant Stimulate, and the sub-subplots to different cultivation periods. The evaluated variables included total and commercial yield, average fruit weight, total soluble solids, pH, titratable acidity, pulp firmness, and water use efficiency.
 
Results and Discussion: Bio-stimulant doses of 2.4 and 0.6 L ha-1 resulted in higher total and commercial yields, with 17.59 and 16.47 t ha-1 during the warm period and 10.21 and 9.65 t ha-1 during the cold period, respectively. The dose of 4.8 L ha-1 provided greater pulp firmness, with values of 15.43% and 12.20% for the warm and cold periods, respectively.
 
Research Implications: The results reinforce that the adoption of new technologies, combined with more efficient irrigation management, contributes to greater sustainability in melon cultivation in the Brazilian Semiarid region.
 
Originality/Value: The use of bio-stimulants in conjunction with precision irrigation enhances water use efficiency in melon production, reducing the consumption of this precious natural resource in the Semiarid region of Brazil.

Objectives: To evaluate the influence of preflaring using LA Axxess and ProTaper Shaping files on the accuracy of Root ZX mini, Mini Apex Locator, and Propex II electronic apex locators (EALs). Methods: Thirty mandibular incisors were accessed, and their root canal length (RCL) was determined with the aid of a stereomicroscope. Then, the specimens were randomly assigned into two groups according to the preflaring instrument: G1- LA Axxess; G2- ProTaper Shaping files. The root canal length was determined in the alginate model by EALs before and after preflaring. Data were classified as accurate (≤ 0.5 mm) or inaccurate (> 0.5 mm or beyond the root canal length). McNemar's test was used to detect differences in the EALs’ accuracy before and after preflaring, and Cochran’s Q test was applied to detect differences in accuracy between the EALs. Results: McNemar's test identified differences in precision in the Propex II and Mini Apex Locator, with significantly increased accuracy after preflaring with ProTaper files. Cochrans’ Q test showed no differences between EALs’ accuracy (p>.05). Conclusions: Preflaring procedures increased accurate measurements for all the EALs, with statistical differences for Propex II and Mini Apex Locator when ProTaper instruments were used. All EALs showed similar accuracy.

Published: October 2024

Students carrying out lectures will certainly experience academic challenges and demands, especially final year students. Academic challenges and demands faced include social adjustment, course learning, time management, and organizational tasks. Academic challenges and demands can trigger stress due to poor time management in completing assignments, lack of self-control and a feeling of anxiety about the pressure experienced. In facing challenges, there are students who have academic resilience within themselves and there are also students who do not have academic resilience within themselves. Academic resilience is the internal capacity to face difficulties that will become a major threat to the student's education. One of the supporting factors for the formation of academic resilience is parental social support. Parental social support is a helping hand from parents in the form of emotional, informative, instrumental support, appreciation which illustrates the bond between parents and children. The social support parents provide to children can provide a sense of security and comfort in facing every challenge they are facing. This research aims to determine the relationship between parental social support and academic resilience in final year students at University X. The participants in this research were 313 final year students at University X. This research collects quantitative correlational data using a questionnaire. The measuring instruments used in this research are the Social Provisions Scale (SPS) and The Academic Resilience Scale-30 (ARS-30). The results of correlation data analysis in this study showed a positive and significant correlation (r = 0.740 and p<0.05) between parental social support and academic resilience.

Published: October 2024

Bullying incidents involving adolescents are commonplace globally, and this persistent problem remains serious. Previous research has shown a correlation between self-concept and an individual's level of conformity; however, the correlation between self-concept, conformity, and bullying behavior needs further consideration. Thus, the purpose of this research is to investigate, using empirical methods, if bullying behavior, conformity, and self-concept are related. This research employs a quantitative research method using the Pearson Product Moment correlation test. Data collection method utilized was the Likert scale. The subjects of this study were adolescents aged 12-22 years with a sample size of 150 participants. Using SPSS 25 and JASP 0.17.0.0 software, bivariate Pearson correlation tests were used to evaluate the data collected. Self-concept was examined in this study using the Self-Description Questionnaire III (SDQIII), which was translated into Indonesian. A questionnaire based on Baron and Byrne's conformity scale was used to measure conformity. The Bullying Scale, which Doğruer actually designed, was used to measure bullying behavior. There was no apparent correlation between conformity to bullying behavior and self-concept, according to the data processing results. These results suggest that more research is necessary because there is not enough data to support correlations or differences between the variables under research.

Published: October 2024

Good quantity and quality of sleep contribute to a healthy sleep condition, while poor quantity and quality of sleep can be caused by revenge bedtime procrastination. Revenge bedtime procrastination is the decision to sacrifice sleep time to free up time from a busy daily schedule. In Indonesia, there is a limited amount of research on the description of revenge bedtime procrastination among students. Therefore, this study aims to explore the behavior of revenge bedtime procrastination among students. The research method applied is a descriptive method with a quantitative approach, utilizing the Bedtime procrastination Scale (BPS) as the research instrument. Based on the research results regarding revenge bedtime procrastination among students, it can be concluded that the majority of students experience a high level of bedtime procrastination (59.5%), followed by a moderate level (39.6%), and a low level (0.9%). The majority of respondents (93.8%) state that a busy daily schedule leads them to delay bedtime. This indicates a significant correlation between a hectic daily schedule and the tendency towards bedtime procrastination.

As students attain early adulthood, they begin to develop their self-concept. A person's overall perception of themselves, or self-concept, is shaped by their interactions with other people in daily life, which can change over time (Showers et al., 2015). Students who are in strong psychological health may be able to identify their strengths and weaknesses which can help with social adjustment issues. The ability to integrate into a social setting and meet social demands in a constructive and fulfilling way is known as social adjustment. Students who have made social adjustments may find it easier to relate to others and enjoy some social liberties. The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between university students' social adjustment and their self-concept. The Tennessee Self- Concept Scale (TSCS) is the instrument used to measure self-concept, and the Social Adjustment Scale, developed by Nadia Safitri (2010) and based on Schneiders' theory, is the instrument used to measure social adjustment. The study's findings demonstrate a strong positive correlation (r (101) = 0.554 and p = 0.000 (p < 0.05) between University X students' self-concept and social adjustment. Accordingly, it may be said that there is a unidirectional relationship between social adjustment and self-concept, the higher a student's level of social adjustment, the higher their self- concept. Good self-concept and social adjustment promote students' well-being and academic potential in the university environment.

En fechas recientes se han agudizado las tensiones que caracterizan la transición desde las estructuras dominadas por algunos países occidentales hacia un modelo caracterizado por el multilateralismo en el que China tiene un gran protagonismo. Esta situación no está exenta de graves peligros para la seguridad de los Estados, independientemente de las regiones del mundo que se consideren. Uno de los aspectos que hemos destacado ya en otras ocasiones, tiene que ver con la reconfiguración de las cadenas globales de valor (CGV) y de las consecuentes oportunidades que aparecen para la economía mexicana. En tal sentido, se han elaborado documentos que muestran las posibilidades en el mediano y largo plazo para que, en el Estado de Veracruz en particular, a partir de los esfuerzos federales y estatales en favor del desarrollo de la infraestructura necesaria para elevar la competitividad regional, esta situación sea propicia para la radicación de empresas asiáticas y, en especial, de origen chino.
