Authors: KALININA E.A.
Published: January 2025

The paper analyzes the questions of the organization of sports competitions, play-offs, friendly matches and table tennis championships. The special attention is given to the problems of the development of this kind of sport in the USSR. Of interest is the discussion that broke out on the pages of the journal «Red Sport» about the usefulness of ping-pong for Soviet physical culture. The policy of militarization in the sphere of physical culture and sport, absence of material and technical basis, sport halls, shortage of specialists in the beginning of 1930-s has considerably slowed down distribution and development of table tennis in the country.
Hibridaciones onto-epistemológicas en la identidad profesional docente: neoliberalización educativa como elemento de tensión
Authors: Molina-Pérez Javier , Pulido-Montes Cristina
Published: January 2025

Las reformas educativas promulgadas en el marco de la neoliberalización política pueden desafiar los posicionamientos onto-epistemológicos que dotan de sentido a la identidad profesional docente. Esta investigación se adentra en las concepciones del profesorado sobre las finalidades de la educación, los ideales de profesional competente o el papel social y político de los sistemas educativos. Se pretende analizar la incidencia de las prácticas de gestión empresarial de la educación sobre los postulados onto-epistemológicos y la consecuente reconstrucción de la identidad profesional. Para ello se plantea un enfoque metodológico cualitativo, articulado por un método inductivo que sigue el procedimiento sistemático de la Teoría Fundamentada. El muestreo teórico define la participación de 30 docentes de Educación Secundaria. A través de entrevistas semiestructuradas en profundidad se recopilan e interpretan los relatos narrativos del conjunto de docentes. Si bien los resultados señalan que el profesorado no ha transformado sus motivaciones de partida, relacionadas con la educación integral del alumnado o la mirada humanista, sí se advierte que la neoliberalización está provocando tensiones y desafíos en sus concepciones onto-epistemológicas. En consecuencia, el profesorado trata de buscar espacios que permitan salvar las discrepancias provocadas por la ruptura entre los postulados reivindicados y las lógicas imputadas por la neoliberalización educativa. Esto desencadena prácticas profesionales caracterizadas por adaptaciones pragmáticas, principios contingentes y posicionamientos ambivalentes. La identidad docente se reconstruye entre lógicas híbridas, sin claras adherencias o resistencias, motivadas por la seducción que implica ser eficaz en entornos de neoliberalización y la necesidad de encontrar marcos de trabajo estables.
Didáctica de la competencia conversacional en lenguas extranjeras: hacia un nuevo modelo secuencial-intercultural
Authors: Rivero Cruz Lizandra , Frómeta Quintana Elaine , Tardo Fernádez Yaritza
Published: January 2025

El artículo analiza que los actuales enfoques sobre la didáctica de la competencia conversacional en lenguas extranjeras aún resultan descriptivos para el logro de una práctica conversacional espontánea, creativa y contextualizada en los estudiantes. Se propone un modelo teórico que integra la sistematización problematizadora de los temas conversacionales y la co-construcción del diálogo intercultural, desde una lógica didáctica coherente. Se presenta, además, una propuesta de acciones metodológicas que orientan al profesor en el desarrollo de la práctica conversacional en el aula de lenguas extranjeras. Se empleó el método holístico dialéctico en la concepción teórica del modelo y un estudio cualitativo de pequeña escala para comprobar la efectividad de su aplicación. Este estudio incluyó el Análisis de la Conversación como técnica para recolectar e interpretar los datos obtenidos a partir de un corpus oral creado ad hoc. El tratamiento de los datos se realizó con el software gratuito de procesamiento de corpus LancsBox, versión 6.0. Las acciones metodológicas propuestas tuvieron un efecto positivo en los estudiantes, quienes mostraron un mejor dominio de las estructuras secuenciales, interactivas, de cortesía y socioculturales.  Los resultados sugieren que la sistematización didáctica de la estructura secuencial-temática de la conversación desde una interpretación contextualizada de las relaciones interculturales resulta un enfoque novedoso para los docentes en función de desarrollar la competencia conversacional en lenguas extranjeras. Por lo que se considera necesario continuar generalizando la propuesta a grupos de aprendices extranjeros de diferentes nacionalidades y lenguas maternas, como expresión de las potencialidades didácticas de estos resultados.

Published: January 2025

Evidenciando a importância de se discutir sobre o perfil profissional dos docentes de línguas nas Amazônias brasileiras, neste artigo, busca-se avaliar de que modo se contemplam, em Projetos Pedagógicos Curriculares, as línguas estrangeiras e as línguas faladas[1] por povos indígenas, além de questões histórico-culturais que influenciam na formação de professoras e professores dos Cursos de Licenciaturas em Letras da Universidade Federal do Acre (UFAC). Enquanto ao método, optou-se por uma abordagem qualitativa mediante estudo bibliográfico para se analisar de que modo esses documentos atendem a uma formação orientada à diversidade pluricultural, com base no aporte teórico da Linguística Aplicada trans/indisciplinar. Os resultados evidenciam que os componentes curriculares desenvolvidos nos cursos de licenciatura em Letras da UFAC contemplam, de maneira geral e específica, as temáticas referentes às linguagens, culturas e sociabilidades indígenas, negras e afrobrasileiras, o que, de certa forma, pode dar subsídio para futuros professores discutir questões referentes a problemas linguísticos e raciais em sala de aula, tornando os espaços educacionais mais plurais e inclusivos. Não obstante, evidencia-se a escassez de componentes orientados ao ensino de outras línguas estrangeiras distintas daquelas objeto de estudo, dado que sinaliza fragilidade nos Projetos Políticos Pedagógicos, e que dificulta, portanto, a formação plurilingue dos futuros professores.
[1] Utilizamos a forma generalista “língua falada” sem desconsiderar as especificidades e importância de línguas sinalizadas.

Six Questions for Every Content Analysis: Revisiting the Stemler’s Overview
Authors: Madugu Usman , Ibrahim Fatai Adesina
Published: January 2025

Content analysis (CA) is a technique widely used in various fields to systematically and objectively interpret textual, visual, or multimedia data. It facilitates the categorisation of phenomena or events for enhanced analysis and interpretation. In other words, CA is a technique for investigating social reality, which involves inferring attributes of a non-manifest context from attributes of a manifest text. This paper revisited Stemler’s work, “an overview of content analysis” with specific emphasis on salient questions every content analysis effort ought to address. Following the review of the Stemler’s, it is found that addressing the indispensable questions divulges that not all documents are amenable to CA under three conditions; substantial portions missing, improper recording and uncodability of document(s) owing to ambiguity of content or missing passages. This study also revealed some fatal flaws that inhibit the efficacy of CA: over- reliance on word-counts to attribute relevance, faulty definitions of categories and non-mutually exclusive and exhaustive categories. Thus, it is recommended that every CA should be tailored-made to answer the six indispensable questions so as to increase its credence and utility, which in turn addresses theoretical underpinnings, methodological rigor, ethical considerations, and the dynamic interplay between content, context, and interpretation.
Retaining Talents among Manufacturing Engineers: Job Embeddedness, Intellectual Capital, and Self-Efficacy
Authors: Osman Idris
Published: January 2025

A disconnection between highly skilled workforces and the talent market has become a critical issue for manufacturing firms. Engineers play a pivotal role in driving innovation and maintaining competitiveness in global markets, directly influencing retention strategies. This study aims to examine the impact of job embeddedness (JE) and intellectual capital (IC) on talent retention among engineers in manufacturing firms. Additionally, it investigates the moderating effect of self-efficacy on the relationship between JE and IC. High levels of JE are hypothesized to enhance employee engagement in work activities and foster innovative thinking. Meanwhile, the presence of strong IC supports stable work behaviors and facilitates the transfer of intangible human assets such as skills and knowledge within organizations. Drawing upon social cognitive theory, job embeddedness theory, and human capital theory, this study develops a theoretical framework to explain the influence of JE, IC, and self-efficacy on engineers’ turnover intentions. The framework and associated propositions aim to clarify the relationships between these variables. The findings emphasize the need for more in-depth research into the antecedents of turnover intentions, particularly to align the supply and demand of Malaysian engineers in the manufacturing sector now and in the future.

Estudio observacional multicéntrico sobre factores perioperatorios y su impacto en la insuficiencia renal post-cirugía cardíaca para pacientes de alto riesgo
Authors:   , Nagore Setién David
Published: January 2025

Según un metaanálisis reciente que revisó sistemáticamente grandes cohortes de pacientes entre los años 2004-2012, el impacto mundial de daño renal agudo (AKI) es elevado. Este metaanálisis concluyó que el 20% de los adultos y el 33% de los pacientes pediátricos hospitalizados sufre AKI durante su ingreso. Los pacientes de cirugía cardíaca tienen una elevada incidencia de AKI postoperatorio dadas las particularidades de la cirugía y el uso común de bypass cardiopulmonar (CEC), entre otros factores de riesgo. Conclusiones de la tesis: el uso de soluciones de hidroxietil-almidón 6% HES 130/0,4 no se asocia a riesgos significativamente mayores de fallo renal agudo postoperatorio en nuestra cohorte de pacientes con riesgo elevado de desarrollar fallo renal agudo (Cleveland score > ó = 4) tras cirugía cardiaca. El uso de soluciones de hidroxietil-almidón 6% HES 130/0,4 no se asocia a riesgos significativamente mayores de terapia renal sustitutiva postoperatoria en nuestra cohorte de pacientes con riesgo elevado de desarrollar fallo renal agudo (Cleveland score > ó = 4) tras cirugía cardiaca. La incorporación de la hemoglobina basal, el filtrado glomerular renal estimado (eGFR), los niveles de hemoglobina glicosilada (HbA1c) y el nadir de hemoglobina intraoperatoria mejoran la capacidad de preducción de riesgo clínico de fallo renal agudo postoperatorio en comparación con la escala Cleveland para nuestra cohorte de pacientes tras cirugía cardiaca. La presencia de hiperuricemia (>=7mg/dL) preoperatoria debe ser tomada en consideración a la hora de planificar el manejo perioperatorio de los pacientes con riesgo de fallo renal agudo postoperatorio (Cleveland score > ó = 4) sometidos a cirugía cardiaca según los estudios llevados a cabo en nuestra cohorte de pacientes.
Effect of Epoxidized Natural Rubber as A Compatibilizer in Thermoplastic Polyurethane/Natural Rubber Blends
Authors: Srisuwanno Torfan , Nakaramontri Yeampon
Published: January 2025

This study investigates the influence of epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) as a compatibilizer in thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)/natural rubber (NR) blends, which were prepared through an internal mixer and compression molding. The mixing condition and mechanical properties optimization of the blends were examined following the variation of ENR concentrations. The mixing torque during blending was used to assess the homogeneity degree and processing characteristics based on the incorporation of the ENR. Mechanical properties in terms of tensile properties and impact strength were investigated to elucidate the role of ENR in enhancing the strength of the blends. The modulus and tensile strength increased by adding ENR, reaching an optimal concentration at 3 phr. Also, impact strength confirms the beneficial effects of ENR by exhibiting increased toughness and resistance to impact-induced failure at an appropriate amount of ENR to prevent aggregation when the quantity is excess. These findings highlight the ability of ENR to promote compatibility and enhancing the mechanical properties of TPU/NR blends at 3 phr of ENR loading, offering insights into the development of high-performance elastomeric materials. The presented homogeneous TPU/NR and ENR combination enables the blend for various applications, particularly filament fabrication and 3D printing product development.

Implementation of Quality of Design for the Development of Bilayer Tablet
Authors: Miss. Mrunal S. Dafale  , Mr. Vishal A. Bhawade  , Dr. Manisha D. Kitukale
Published: January 2025

Different drug release properties for different drugs contained in each layer of a bilayer tablet are rarely achievable with regular tablets. Additionally, these tablets help avoid physicochemical incompatibilities between medications and excipients. The successful production of such more complicated dosage forms depends on screening the material qualities of APIs and excipients and optimizing the processing parameters of each unit operations of the manufacturing process. In order to meet safety and efficacy regulations, these operations need to be properly monitored and managed to produce a drug product with acceptable quality and performance. Blending, granulation, pre-compression, and main compression are critical stages when formulation qualities and production processes should be tuned to avoid problems like weight variation, segregation, and delamination of particular components. Bilayer tablets, as opposed to ordinary tablets, offer distinct drug release properties for certain medications that are housed in each layer. These tablets also help to avoid physicochemical incompatibilities between drugs and excipients. The successful manufacturing of such more complex dosage forms depends on screening the material attributes of API and excipients and optimizing the processing parameters of individual unit operations of the manufacturing process in order to achieve safon of layers, which is frequently encountered during the production of bilayer tablets. For the quality and performance of the medication product to be acceptable, these processes need to be properly watched over and managed. The main objective of this review is to establish the foundation for implementing the Quality by Design (QbD).
Water use in collective student housing
Authors: De Backer Lien , De Jonge Laura , Van Kenhove Elisa
Published: January 2025

Today, there is limited information available about actual cold and hot water use in collective student housing. Furthermore, equally little is known about how this water use is distributed throughout the day and how it is divided over all end users (e.g. toilet, shower, sink). Although some water use profiles can be found in standards and literature, these profiles are often an overestimate of the buildings water use.The production of hot water accounts for a large proportion of the total energy used in collective student housing. Current installations are often overdimensioned because the hot water use is not correctly estimated. This leads to unjustifiably higher energy use and installation cost. Understanding hot water use is important, not only for better design of domestic hot water systems in the buildings mentioned above, in order to ensure comfort, but also for a more accurate assessment of the health risks of such systems. With an oversized system, there is more stagnation of water, resulting in Legionella problems. Having more correct tap profiles available in the design phase will inevitably lead to better understanding of the dimensioning and temperature distribution of the domestic hot water.In this paper, distribution system analyses and water monitoring has been carried out for six collective student accommodations, inhabited by 1756 students. The measurements show that the average water usage of a student is limited compared to numbers mentioned in standards, namely 40 litres of cold and 20 litres of hot water a day.

Authors: Liu Zehui , Liu Ming , Yang Mengyuan , Xu Lining , Li Jinxu , Qiao Lijie
Published: January 2025

The relationship between the corrosion resistance of cast duplex stainless steel welded joints and inclusions was investigated by metallographic characterization, electrochemical tests, in situ tests, scanning electron microscopy combined with energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry and other methods. The results showed that inclusions were the main sites for pitting corrosion initiation in cast 2205 welded joints, and the MnS portion of the composite inclusions preferentially dissolved to form micropits, which triggered pitting corrosion. In addition, the density of inclusions in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) was high and the average size of inclusions was larger, resulting in poorer pitting resistance in the HAZ. And pitting was more likely to occur and subsequently a large pit was developed which ultimately led to failure.

Frantz Fanon, Lélia Gonzalez e Édouard Glissant: um diálogo imaginário sobre a condição colonial do condenado africano e afrolatino-americano/a na Argentina contemporânea.
Authors: Bidaseca Karina A.
Published: January 2025

Em suas viagens transatlânticas a Mama África, o diálogo mantido pela grande afrofeminista brasileira Lélia Gonzalez com pensadores africanos como Amílcar Cabral e Cheikh Anta Diop foi decisivo para sua posição anticolonial e panafricanista. Esses diálogos são fundamentais hoje para as reparações do colonialismo que os impérios devem realizar após as Declarações da Década Internacional dos Povos Afrodescendentes, consagradas em Durban no ano de 2003. Especialmente em países como a Argentina, cujo mito de origem se baseia na obstrução das memórias afrodescendentes provenientes do sistema de tráfico escravista da modernidade/colonialidade. O artigo trabalha com o conceito da política dos subalternos africanos imigrantes e afrodescendentes na Cidade de Buenos Aires nos anos 2010, resultante de um trabalho de pesquisa na Universidade de Buenos Aires.

O presente artigo tem por finalidade refletir sobre os desafios e as possibilidades da formação continuada de professores que ensinam Geografia nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental, tomando-se por base as falas dos docentes que atuam no município de Guairaçá-PR. Consideramos, nesse sentido, a necessidade de problematizar o processo formativo de professores e, consequentemente qualificar a educação geográfica nesse nível de escolarização. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa envolvendo revisão bibliográfica e documental, questionários e entrevistas semiestruturadas direcionadas aos professores, equipe gestora e pedagógica do referido município. Podemos destacar que as análises revelaram a importância de conhecer e atender as reais necessidades dos professores como um fator essencial para a promoção da formação continuada. O conhecimento das demandas dos professores permite direcionar de forma mais assertiva as ações formativas, articulando assim, o conteúdo trabalhado com os desafios vivenciados no dia-a-dia em sala de aula. Dessa forma, a formação continuada poderá não somente atualizar os conhecimentos pedagógicos-didáticos, mas também, de modo interconectado, fortalecer o domínio do conhecimento geográfico necessário para atuar nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental.

Freire (2011) highlights school inclusion as essential for building a fairer and more equitable society, fostering the participation of all students in the construction of knowledge. He emphasizes that integration into the natural sciences discipline should address differences without discrimination. However, the topic remains underexplored, with research focusing on specific limitations and developing techniques aimed at restricted audiences, leaving other needs unaddressed.
FE Investigation and Analysis of Poor Electrical Connections and Related Fire Investigation Case Studies
Authors: Korinek Tim
Published: January 2025

Overheating poor electrical connections (OPCs) are a ubiquitous ignition source of structure fires. Yet, knowledge of the intimate process between conductors at the connection point is relatively undocumented on the microscopic scale. For an OPC, it is ordinary for a filament or pool of liquid oxide to be the main current-carrying conductor at the point of overheating. This paper examines the overheating phenomena from a materials science perspective using photography through the stereo microscope, cross-sectioning, electron microscopy, and specialized techniques under the metallurgical microscope. Two case studies are presented in the second half of this paper. The first presents an artifact from field testing performed by a commercial cooking appliance manufacturer and introduces a real-world example of an OPC that did not ignite surrounding materials. The second is from a fire investigation of a food processing plant where prior research on OPCs informed expert opinions at trial and influenced the results.

Over the 30 years of independence, Kazakhstan has made significant advances in science, but has also faced challenges. The collapse of the Soviet-era infrastructure and the transition to a market economy have negatively affected research. Despite enormous reforms, Kazakhstan still experiences low levels of expenditure on science and technology and limited contribution to the knowledge economy. This study used the problem-oriented expert interview method and content analysis of interview results using AtlasTi software to examine the problems in the science and technology sector of Kazakhstan. Twenty experts with more than 10 years of research experience participated in unstructured interviews. The analysis revealed several key problems: lack of funding and resources, personnel problems, scientific ethics and motivation, bureaucratization and science management were mentioned by many experts. Another significant problem in technology development is the lack of interaction between science, business and the state. Weak research infrastructure and insufficient support for scientists also create problems. The study identifies critical issues in Kazakhstan's scientific landscape and suggests directions for a science and technology development strategy: increasing and optimizing funding allocation, reforming human resources policies, improving interactions between science and business and industry, modernizing scientific management and reducing bureaucracy, increasing transparency of processes, supporting high-quality research and ethics in science, strengthening international cooperation.

The placement of industrial production on a new convergent-technological basis determines the optimal structural proportions of the economic system and the possibility of establishing the country's competitiveness. The current structure of the economy of Kazakhstan is a factor hindering its innovative development. The acuteness of the problem of ensuring technological parity with developed countries creates the need for a critical understanding of the principles and forms of structural changes, the main factor of which is convergent-type technologies and the involvement of a new product in market turnover, its diffusion. In addition, in the context of increasing equilibrium, intensity of fluctuations and high entropy of market processes, the demand for the development and implementation of state industrial policies focused on advanced development in order to overcome technological backwardness increases. The implementation of this policy is designed to ensure a deep modernization of the basic sectors of the economy with the simultaneous development of production areas that are most promising in the context of technological convergence and focused on the technologies of a new technological structure. The development of theoretical provisions for structural transitions in the context of the development of convergent-type technologies makes it possible to initiate structural transitions of positive quality within the framework of convergent-type technologies.

Researchers need reliable and valid tools to identify cases of untrustworthy information when studying the spread of misinformation on digital platforms. A common approach is to assess the trustworthiness of sources rather than individual pieces of content. One of the most widely used and comprehensive databases for source trustworthiness ratings is provided by NewsGuard. Since creating the database in 2019, NewsGuard has continually added new sources and reassessed existing ones. While NewsGuard initially focused only on the US, the database has expanded to include sources from other countries. In addition to trustworthiness ratings, the NewsGuard database contains various contextual assessments of the sources, which are less often used in contemporary research on misinformation. In this work, we provide an analysis of the content of the NewsGuard database, focusing on the temporal stability and completeness of its ratings across countries, as well as the usefulness of information on political orientation and topics for misinformation studies. We find that trustworthiness ratings and source coverage have remained relatively stable since 2022, particularly for the US, France, Italy, Germany, and Canada, with US-based sources consistently scoring lower than those from other countries. Additional information on the political orientation and topics covered by sources is comprehensive and provides valuable assets for characterizing sources beyond trustworthiness. By evaluating the database over time and across countries, we identify potential pitfalls that compromise the validity of using NewsGuard as a tool for quantifying untrustworthy information, particularly if dichotomous "trustworthy"/"untrustworthy" labels are used. Lastly, we provide recommendations for digital media research on how to avoid these pitfalls and discuss appropriate use cases for the NewsGuard database and source-level approaches in general.
