Passage Des Coordonnées Géocentriques Aux Coordonnées Géodésiques Géographiques, Démarches Mathématiques : Cas Du Point 05/15 - 0001, Un Point Du Réseau Géodésique Congolais Situé A Kinshasa
Authors: Abdallah Mohamed Abdallah
Published: December 2024

La profession d’Ingénieur Géomètre Topographe est parmi des professions, la plus influencée par l’informatique et la NTIC. Cette influence a grandement changé la façon de travailler des ingénieurs géomètres topographes sur terrain tout comme au bureau. De fois, les résultats fournis par des outils et logiciels spécialisés apparaissent pour certains une vérité absolue, à tel point qu’on s’en passe des doutes sur la qualité des résultats. Or la profession reste trop urgente en terme de la précision sur les différentes déterminations, il est donc très essentiel de rappeler aux professionnels certaines démarches mathématiques conduisant à la programmation des logiciels et outils de la nouvelle ère, ces démarches peuvent servir des appuis de taille pour valider ou sinon résoudre un petit souci de format des coordonnées que l’on souhaite utiliser dans un projet.Dans cet article, nous nous sommes donnés le luxe de rappeler la démarche mathématique qui nous conduit en cette ère informatique à convertir très rapidement des coordonnées en importe quel format que l’on désire. C’est ainsi pour des raisons scientifiques et techniques, nous avons traité ce problème de transformation des coordonnées géocentriques aux coordonnées géodésiques géographiques pour démystifier les démarches informatiques. Nous avons exploité des données du point 05/15-0001 du réseau géodésique congolais implanté et calculé en 2015, il a fallu pour cette étude de monter un scénario, comme si le point n’était connu qu’en coordonnées géocentriques et sur base des calculs en exploitant les différentes méthodes de calcul, nous sommes arrivés à calculer les coordonnées de ce point sous format géodésique géographique.Pour ne pas être si long, nous avons présenté et expliqué deux méthodes de calcul, dont l’une est celle dite directe et l’autre est nommée la méthode des itérations, après les explications, nous avons porté notre choix sur la méthode des itérations car ça paraît plus technique et précise. Compte tenu de mon profil d’enseignant et de professionnel, j’ai eu des débats intéressants sur cette problématique, il s’est fait remarquer une certaine confusion sur des concepts, certains professionnels et apprenants ne trouvent plus la place pour des vérifications poussées en utilisant des méthodes mathématiques, qui, d’ailleurs, ils arrivent même à les qualifier de dépasser. Alors c’était en quelque sorte ça, qui m’a poussé d’écrire en ce sens, en fin d’interpeller les apprenants ainsi que d’autres professionnels sur la question. Quand on ignore comment est programmé un logiciel, on aura certainement les difficultés de bien le manipuler ainsi que de vérifier le résultat. Le côté sombre de la technologie, c’est cette manière de réduire un ingénieur à un simple manipulateur d’un programme informatique, les questions fondamentales ne se posent plus, c’est vraiment de l’automate et ce qui n’est pas assez bien.

ABSTRACT
Burnout is a condition of persistent stress-related mental disease that might include depersonalization, emotional fatigue, and personal accomplishment and it has been identified as an occupational hazard in the medical field, particularly in physiotherapy and many healthcare workers were becoming more frustrated with their jobs. Objective: To compare the level of burnout among physiotherapists in clinical and academic domains and factors associated with it. Methods: A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted on 265 physiotherapists, working as clinicians and academicians in institutes of Sialkot and Lahore. After ethical approval, data was collected by using convenient sampling technique, aged 24-40 years, with at least one year of experience. Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI) was used to evaluate the level of burnout. Data was analyzed by using SPSS version 22. Frequencies were calculated for categorical data. An Independent T-test was used for the comparison of the two groups and to determine the association chi-square was used. Results: Out of 128 academicians, 111(86.71%) participants reported moderate and 15 (11.71%) participants reported severe levels of burnout, whereas in clinicians, out of 137 participants, 121(88.32%) participants reported moderate and 10 (7.29%) participants reported severe levels of burnout respectively. Mean score of OLBI among academicians and clinicians was 39.39±4.74 and 37.08±5.00 respectively with p-value=0.00 showing significant difference between the two domains.  A significant association was observed between the level of burnout and gender, age, marital status, and working hours per week with a p-value <0.05. Conclusion: Most of the clinicians 121(88.32%) and academicians 111(86.71%) reported moderate level of burnout. There was a significant difference between the level of burnout between both domains and academicians were more affected and a significant association between the level of burnout and gender, age, marital status, and working hours per week.

$M_K(T)$-Spaces: Some Order-Theoretical Properties and Applications to Distributive Logics
Authors: Brunetta Cristian , Fernández Víctor
Published: December 2024

We present some results involving several ordered structures related to the construction of $M_K(T)$-spaces. These are special closure spaces defined on the basis of a previously given one ${K}$ and were developed by Fern\'andez and Brunetta, 2023. Specifically, we show that for every $T \in {K}$, the poset $\mathbb{RE}_{{K}}(T)$ of weak-relative closure spaces is a sublattice of $\mathbb{CSP}(X)$ (the family of all the spaces with support $X$). On the other hand, it will be shown that the poset $\mathbb{M}({K})$ of all the $M_{{K}}(T)$-spaces does not verify this property, but it is a complete lattice itself. Also, we show in which way some order-theoretic properties are related to the recovery of closure spaces. Finally, we show some applications of $M_{{K}}(T)$-spaces to the class of distributive logics.
Deep Learning-Based Computer Vision Is Not Yet the Answer to Taphonomic Equifinality in Bone Surface Modifications
Authors: Courtenay Lloyd Austin , Vanderesse Nicolas , Doyon Luc , Souron Antoine
Published: December 2024

The concept of equifinality is a central issue in taphonomy, conditioning an analyst’s ability to interpret the formation and functionality of palaeontological and archaeological sites. This issue lies primarily in the methods available to identify and characterise microscopic bone surface modifications (BSMs) in archaeological sites. Recent years have seen a notable increase in the number of studies proposing the use of deep learning (DL)-based computer vision (CV) algorithms on stereomicroscope images to overcome these issues. Few studies, however, have considered the possible limitations of these techniques. The present research performs a detailed evaluation of the quality of three previously published image datasets of BSMs, replicating the use of DL for the classification of these images. Algorithms are then subjected to rigorous testing. Despite what previous research suggests, DL algorithms are shown to not perform as well when exposed to new data. We additionally conclude that the quality of each of the three datasets is far from ideal for any type of analysis. This raises considerable concerns on the optimistic presentation of DL as a means of overcoming taphonomic equifinality. In light of this, extreme caution is advised until good quality, larger, balanced, datasets, that are more analogous with the fossil record, are available.
Dental stem cell banking: a promising future for regenerative medicine applications
Authors: Esen Hatice Büşra , Kıran Fadime
Published: December 2024

Dental stem cells originating from different oral tissues in and around dental structures have recently gained attention as a potential alternative for regenerative medicine applications. To date, many dental stem cells are identified specific to the tissue from which they originate. They exhibit many valuable advantages including high proliferation ability, self-renewal capacity, and multiple differentiation potentials that make them an important candidate for clinical applications, especially in treating degenerative and inflammatory diseases. The fact that they can be easily obtained from an individual’s waste tooth without any ethical concern provides them an excellent opportunity for autologous treatment with a low risk of immune rejection. Nowadays, the storage of autologous dental stem cells isolated from wisdom teeth or healthy extracted teeth in biobanks without ethical concerns has become a very important approach for the regeneration of damaged and diseased tissue and for the treatment of life-threatening diseases that may be encountered in the future life of the donor. This study provides a comprehensive overview of dental stem cells, recent advances in their clinical use, long-term preservation processes, and the latest advances in Dental Stem Cell Banking.

Authors: Ahmed Dr. Noor Uddin , Khatun Halima
Published: December 2024

This research paper explores the intersection of modern Arabic and Assamese narratives, examining how each tradition reflects and shapes its respective cultural context. The study highlights common themes, narrative techniques, and the socio-political influences that define these regions’ literary expressions by analyzing key stories from both literary traditions. Through a comparative lens, the paper investigates how modern Arabic and Assamese writers use storytelling to preserve, question, and evolve cultural identities. The impact of historical, religious, and political shifts on the development of these literary forms is also explored, alongside their resonance with contemporary global concerns. Though rooted in different historical and cultural settings, Arabic and Assamese literatures offer valuable insights into the human experience, addressing universal themes while celebrating regional distinctiveness. The research aims to foster a deeper understanding of how literature bridges diverse cultural perspectives, emphasizing the role of storytelling in shaping societal values, challenging norms, and evolving identities. Ultimately, this paper contributes to a richer understanding of how literature transcends boundaries, offering new perspectives on the universality of human experience in the face of changing global realities.

Authors: Valenzuela Loor Angie Jamileth , Laaz López Dolores Angélica
Published: December 2024

La presente investigación evaluó la eficacia del recubrimiento comestible de almidón de yuca y aceite esencial de canela en piña IV gama para prolongar su vida útil y preservar características fisicoquímicas. Mediante un diseño experimental completamente al azar con arreglo bifactorial, se estudiaron dos concentraciones de almidón (2% y 3% p/v) combinadas con tres niveles de aceite esencial (0.10%, 0.20% y 0.30% v/v). El análisis estadístico se realizó con SPSS, evaluando pérdida de peso, pH, acidez titulable y sólidos solubles durante 15 días de almacenamiento. El mejor tratamiento, con 2% de almidón y 0.30% de aceite esencial, redujo la pérdida de peso, aunque no logró extender significativamente la vida útil microbiológica más allá de 2 días a 4°C. Los demás parámetros fisicoquímicos se mantuvieron estables durante el almacenamiento. Esta investigación demuestra que el recubrimiento puede ayudar a mantener algunas características de calidad en piña mínimamente procesada, aunque se requiere investigación adicional para mejorar su efectividad en el control microbiológico.

Authors: Cong Nguyen Chi , Vuong Pham Minh , Nghia Le Thi Minh , Khoa Bui Quoc
Published: December 2024

In this paper, the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) flow modelling method is applied to solve the Navier-Stokes equations. In which, the influence of the stress components of the small structures is modelled by the Smagorinsky flow model. This mathematical model is applied to the flow through a square cylinder with two different Reynolds number conditions Re = 400 and Re = 22,000. The calculated results of the average flow as well as the characteristics of the multi-dynamic components are compared with the results calculated by the DNS (Direct Numerical Simulation) method and the k- model, showing the advantages of this method. At the same time, these results also have a compatibility with the experimental results under the same Reynolds number conditions.

Physical science teachers’ perspectives on professional development and use of digital technology
Authors: Dlamini Maserialong , Jita Thuthukile
Published: December 2024

This paper examines physical science teachers’ views and experiences on professional devel-opment and digital technology integration for teaching content specific. Using a qualitative ap-proach and case study design embedded in the technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) model and concerns-based adoption model (CBAM), this article reports on how physi-cal science teachers from technologically resourced schools perceive their preparation to use technology during professional development. Four participants with more than three years teaching experience of physical science were selected for data collection. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and was thematically analyzed. The key findings of the study indicate that inadequate digital technology professional development leads to teachers’ unpreparedness which tremendously influences the extent of using technology for teaching in physical science content.  The paper recommends the need for ongoing professional develop-ment of physical science teachers on the use of digital technology to teach specific content. Based on the existing literature, the principles of effective professional development can be used to narrow inequalities in developing countries such as Lesotho. The paper recommends future research to investigate the maximum effectiveness of technology integration in other subjects as to improve teaching and learning in developing countries such as Lesotho.
“I Would Never Take My Pet to Someone I Didn’t Trust … My Pet’s Health Is My Health”: A Cross-Cultural Analysis of Evaluative Language in English and Italian Reviews of Veterinary Clinics
Authors: Simi Nicoletta , Vignozzi Gianmarco
Published: December 2024

This study examines the linguistic and cultural characteristics of positive online reviews left by pet owners for veterinary clinics, with a comparative focus on English and Italian reviews. As pets increasingly become integral family members, online feedback has a significant impact on pet owners’ choices of veterinary services. Using a self-compiled corpus, this analysis employs corpus-assisted tools to explore how reviewers in each language articulate their experiences, expectations, and emotions, identifying thematic differences. English reviews prioritize interpersonal attributes such as kindness and empathy, frequently anthropomorphizing pets as “family members” or “babies”. Conversely, Italian reviews emphasize professionalism and technical competence, often commending staff expertise and attentiveness. The findings reveal cross-cultural distinctions in satisfaction expression, with English reviews highlighting emotional bonds and Italian reviews focusing on professional efficacy. These insights may inform strategies for veterinary clinics to better align communication with clients’ cultural expectations in various markets.

Authors:   Almetyevsk State Petroleum Institute, ANTIPOVA O.V. , KISELEVA O.V.
Published: December 2024

The current state of not only the national, but also the world economy, largely due to sanctions imposed by both individual states and integration groups of the world community, has led to an increasing need to find fundamentally new solutions for the further productive socio-economic development of society taking into account current environmental problems. The transition to sustainable development of the national economy is becoming an objective need. The implementation of the national strategy towards sustainable development will make it possible to develop options for using the resource base that are adequate to modern challenges, which will become the basis for the preservation and development of the country, region, individual city, etc. The purpose of the study is to develop a system of socio-ecological and economic indicators for assessing the sustainable development of small towns.The object of research is a complex of relationships that arise when assessing the state of a city in order to ensure its sustainable development.The subject of the study is the system of socio-economic relations that arise in the process of forming an economy focused on sustainable development. The main research methods used in writing the article are empirical and economic-statistical. The article identifies and groups the problems of small towns in Russia and shows their impact on the dynamics of sustainable development. An algorithm for assessing the environmental, economic and social development of the city was developed, in accordance with which the study was carried out. A comparative analysis of the content of the main provisions of the Strategies for Sustainable Development of the cities of Almetyevsk and Salavat is given. Following the author's algorithm and methodology, a system of indicators characterizing the dynamics of sustainable development was developed. A comprehensive assessment of the state of environmental, socio-economic factors of sustainable development of small towns was carried out, followed by visualization of the results obtained using radar diagrams, and a conclusion accompanying their content was formulated. Based on a detailed study of the local legislative framework, corrective measures to ensure sustainable urban development were identified. The practical significance of the study lies in the ability to carry out quantitative and qualitative monitoring of the phased implementation of the sustainable development strategy of both the cities themselves and the region as a whole. The proposed model can be the basis for the development of a methodological basis for assessing the sustainable development of small towns and forming recommendations for their development.
FEATURES OF VOLUNTEERING UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF THE RUSSIAN SPECIAL MILITARY OPERATION
Authors:   Kazan National Research Technological University, ZINUROVA R.I. , TUZIKOV A.R.
Published: December 2024

Geopolitical turbulence, the crisis of the previous world order, the growth of radical nationalism in Ukraine and threats to the security of Russia necessitated the decision of the President of the Russian Federation on a special military operation. The population of all regions of Russia, under the motto «Everything for Victory», participated in numerous actions to support soldiers of the Russian army and civilians in new regions. Youth charities have become a serious part of the new direction of volunteering. There have also been changes in the regulatory framework. Article 2 № 135 - Federal Law «Goals of Charitable Activities» was supplemented with the goal of participating in events in the field of perpetuating the memory of those killed in defense of the Motherland. Against the backdrop of the unfolding information war, most students correctly understand the reasons for the military operation on the territory of Ukraine and are ready to assist veterans and members of their families. According to original research conducted in 2023 among students of universities located on the territory of the Republic of Tatarstan, 65,5 % of respondents have a positive attitude towards volunteer assistance to soldiers and civilians located in the territory of a special military operation. Students show true patriotism. They participate in the collection and dispatch of humanitarian supplies, weave camouflage nets, write letters to fighters and participate in volunteer activities. The respondents consider the most important types of assistance for SVO participants to be: 1) Participation in charitable events and collection of funds, clothing, personal hygiene items, medicines, antiseptics, food, etc.; 2) Volunteer medical assistance; 3) Volunteer assistance and support for veterans of special military operations and members of their families in rehabilitation and social adaptation; 4) Material support for SVO participants (sewing clothes, gauze bandages, weaving camouflage nets, making camp stoves, procuring food, etc.). 34,5 % of students do not consider the possibility of voluntary assistance to militants and civilians located in the territory of the Special Military Operation. They believe that it is not volunteers and charitable foundations that should help soldiers, but the state. Against the backdrop of the information war, participation in the volunteer movement to support SVO veterans and their families is not only an act of solidarity with one’s country and people, but also has great ideological significance, which allows, as a result of direct communication with SVO participants, to understand the essence of ongoing events and not to succumb to ideological attacks by our opponents.
Anime club in the public library
Authors: Žentil Barić Žozefina
Published: December 2024

Aim: The popularity of Japanese animation (anime) has increased worldwide in recent years. The paper aims to represent an anime club as an opportunity for public libraries to draw in young fans by offering them a place where they can exchange experiences and find like-minded peers. It reflects on the definition of anime and the reasons for its popularity, offers an insight into possible ways of using anime in public libraries and presents a case study of a successful anime club.
 Methodology: This case study investigates the role of an Anime Club for High Schoolers in attracting an often hard-to-reach user group of adolescents back to public libraries. The observed anime club is specific for adopting a book club structure. To answer the questions how and why the club worked, data had been collected through archival record research and observation with participation during two program years (from October 2021 to July 2023).
Findings: Despite the difficulties due to epidemiological measures during the COVID-19 pandemic, 20 teenagers joined the club: 7 individuals per session on average and 8 adolescents regularly attending meetings held twice a month. During the second year, even more participants regularly attended individual meetings. The club managed to gather an interested, engaged and positive community, whose members then started participating in other library programs.
Applicability: The work showcases anime clubs as effective and valuable means for public libraries worldwide to attract young fans by offering them a place to cultivate their interests. It can serve librarians as an incentive for the development of a similar activity.

The paper describes the leading of two main research tasks. The first one dealt with designs of six barrels for three calibers: 5.56x45 NATO, 7.62x51 NATO, and 12.7x99 NATO. Two barrels were designed for each calibre: one unreinforced and the second one reinforced by a coat. The second task dealt with a computer barrel strength simulation using the method of finite elements to compare the results of numerical and analytical strength calculations and draw the conclusions. Part III includes strength calculations of reinforced barrels for all tested barrels.

Trwałość konstrukcji stalowych jest między innymizwiązana z rodzajem konstrukcji, w tym: kształtem elementówi węzłów, możliwością i sposobem zabezpieczenia jej przed korozjąi ogniem oraz utrzymaniem jej w całym „cyklu życia” obiektu. Przydoborze przekrojów elementów i kształtowaniu węzłów należyuwzględniać: możliwość łatwego oczyszczania ich powierzchni,skuteczność nanoszenia powłok ochronnych oraz możliwość samoczynnegoutrzymania powierzchni bez brudu i wilgoci. Z koleiz uwagi na ochronę ppoż. istotne jest ograniczenie ekspozycjipojedynczego elementu i konstrukcji w taki sposób, by konstrukcjaspełniła swoje zadania w wymaganym czasie.
