Authors: Kairiené Aida , Mažeikienė Natalija
Published: September 2024

Aim. This article presents the research on using cartography as a research method based on Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s (2004) insights. The aim of the study – to unfold and visualise students' learning experiences in non-formal and informal learning contexts beyond the classroom.
Methods. Cartography and rhizoanalysis. Cartography is a method of mapping (Wilmott, 2020). In order to create rhizomatic maps we used Deleuze and Guattari (2004) theoretical insights. The rhizoanalysis (Masny, 2015) was carried out according to Deleuze and Guattari’s (2004) rhizome principles: connectivity and heterogeneity multiplicity and rupture, cartography and decalcomania. The rhizoanalysis simultaneously reveals Alecia Youngblood Jackson and Lisa Mazzei's (2012) process of "thinking with theory". Thirty-eight students from upper-grade classes participated in this research. Each student’s learning path was depicted as their rhizomatic journeys, using various concepts such as nomads, lines of flight, becoming.
Results. The rhizoanalysis makes it possible to reveal students’ rhizomatic learning experiences, areas of interest and learning styles. Such a map challenges an existing hierarchical framework and conveys how students’ freely make connections through lines of flight and create their own learning paths.
Conclusions. This study demonstrates cartography as a useful methodology for visualising students’ learning experiences. Also, this study is unique and distinctive because it reveals the nomadic trajectories of individual learners and offers a thorough investigation of their activity destinations. The researchers of this study advise that students' non-formal and informal learning experiences be included into their formal education by using nomadic pedagogy.

Published: September 2024

Aim. The aim of the article is to validate the pedagogical model for mastering post-digital art practice by future designers.
Methods. Its content is determined by the integral anthropotemporal methodology of the organisation of the hybrid educational space, which involves the harmonisation of the intellectual and emotional interaction of the subjects of post-digital art education to project a possible future – Salvation. The priority in this process is the open gestalt of artistic questioning and realisation of the network design of beauty as a spiritual-ontological factor, and the criteria are: the ability to recognise the artistic meaning of the happiness of existence in the polysemy of the text; the competence of theoesthetic modeling of artistic dialogue in the post-digital space and the experience of creating beauty as a good.
Results. The implementation of the technological convergence of participatory edutainment and spiritual self-coaching contributed to the mastery of the specified pedagogical model by future performers. The result of its implementation was the acquisition by future performers of post-digital competencies of entropy-informational and adaptive-selective development, performative improvisation, artistic education as an attraction (‘the contemplation’ of an individual in the self-sufficiency of aestheticized Lighting).
Conclusion. Thus, mastering the space of post-digital art practice by the future performer involves the activation of his vivid experiential feeling within the artistic sense of oecumenism. A new technonature of the world cannot be built without the human experience of arbitrary paseistic impulse.

Published: September 2024

Introduction. The operation of eco friendly and high-efficiency internal combustion engines is not possible without deep and comprehensive study of using new types of fuels. That is why, forecasting the indicators of injecting and spraying in a diesel engine running on a mixed alcohol-containing fuel, which have a direct effect on the combustion and formation of toxic components and, as a result, on efficiency and eco friendliness, is an urgent scientific task.Aim of the Study. The study is aimed at developing a theoretical basis for calculating the characteristics of injecting and spraying methanol-containing fuel into diesel engine cylinders that allows optimizing its processes.Materials and Methods. There are considered the characteristics of injecting and spraying alcohol-containing fuel in a diesel engine modified to operate on a mixed methanol-containing fuel. There were used the well-known A.S. Lyshevsky dependencies, which fairly reliably reflect the processes of injecting and spraying in diesel engines.Results. The in-depth studies of the basic principles for evaluating the indicators of injecting and spraying standard fuel made it possible to adapt them for fuels of mixed methanol-containing composition and to investigate the dynamics of changes in the duration and speed of injection, the Weber criterion values, the boundaries between the areas of fuel jet forming, droplet size and spraying angle.Discussion and Conclusion. There has been developed a theoretical basis for calcu­lating the characteristics of injecting and spraying methanol-containing fuel that makes it possible to optimize the operation of a diesel engine running on mixed fuel and, as a result, improve its efficiency and eco friendliness. The presented numerically information on the change in the boundaries of the fuel jet forming areas, the size of the droplets and the angle of the spraying cone allows us to reliably determine the basic parameters of spraying of the used mixed methanol-containing fuels, determine the vector of optimization of the mixing processes and gives insight into the promising directions in designing the geometry of combustion chambers, intake ducts, etc.
The Use of Hybrid Communication Architecture in Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks to Enhance Their Lifetime and Efficiency
Authors: Fedorova Tatiana , Ryzhov Vladimir , Safronov Kirill
Published: September 2024

The paper presents a comparative analysis of the main functional characteristics of underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) with stationary and hybrid communication architectures. The UWSNs consist of sensor nodes located on the seabed and intermodal gateways facilitating the transmission of information packets between the underwater and above-water segments of the network. In the stationary UWSNs, anchored buoys serve as gateways, while in the hybrid UWSNs, mobile transport platforms fulfill this role. Using a mathematical framework based on a probabilistic approach, an evaluation of the functional characteristics of alternative communication architectures for UWSNs is performed from an energy perspective. The overall energy consumption of the network for message transmission and the sensor network's lifespan are determined. or the numerical analysis of the functional characteristics of UWSNs, a wide range of design parameters is considered, such as the size of the water area, the required number and placement options of sensor nodes, and the packet delivery probability in the water area (physical parameters of the environment). The search for "optimal" solutions from an energy standpoint is conducted within these parameter ranges. The conducted research demonstrates that mobility plays a crucial role in improving the functioning of underwater networks in terms of coverage (ensuring connectivity), energy efficiency, and lifetime. The mobile element, represented by the wave glider acting as an intermodal gateway, is capable of sustained operation in the water area for an extended period, indicating its potential for practical tasks such as data collection, storage, and information relay within the context of the Internet of Underwater Things.
Clustering of Networks Using the Fish School Search Algorithm
Authors: Ibrahim Abuzer , Boudref Mohamed , Badis Lyes
Published: September 2024

A network is an aggregation of nodes joined by edges, representing entities and their relationships. In social network clustering, nodes are organized into clusters according to their connectivity patterns, with the goal of community detection. The detection of community structures in networks is essential. However, existing techniques for community detection have not yet utilized the potential of the Fish School Search (FSS) algorithm and modularity principles. We have proposed a novel method, clustering with the Fish School Search algorithm and modularity function (FSC), that enhances modularity in network clustering by iteratively partitioning the network and optimizing the modularity function using the Fish School Search Algorithm. This approach facilitates the discovery of highly modular community structures, improving the resolution and effectiveness of network clustering. We tested FSC on well-known and unknown network structures. Also, we tested it on a network generated using the LFR model to test its performance on networks with different community structures. Our methodology demonstrates strong performance in identifying community structures, indicating its effectiveness in capturing cohesive communities and accurately identifying actual community structures.
Efficient Implementation of Gammatone Filters Based on Warped Cosine Modulated Filter Bank
Authors: Porhun Maxim , Vashkevich Maxim
Published: September 2024

The paper presents an effective implementation of a gammatone filter bank (GFB) based on a warped cosine modulated filter bank (WCMFB) using an all-pass transform. Examples of practical tasks in which a GFB is used are considered, and its main features and disadvantages are analyzed. A description of a uniform cosine-modulated filter bank is given, and the process of synthesis of a WCMFB using all-pass transform is shown. An optimization method for designing a WCMFB prototype filter to approximate the frequency characteristics of GFB has been developed. The method is based on a multiplicative model of the impulse response of the prototype filter using logistic sigmoid functions. The essence of the proposed method is to optimize the prototype filter in order to minimize the RMS error between the frequency response of the GFB and WCMFB for each channel. A software implementation in Python using the PyTorch library has been performed. Experimental studies of the proposed method have been carried out. The experimental results showed that the WCMFB can be used to approximate the frequency characteristics of the GFB, and the resulting frequency response has monotonic declines due to the use of logistic sigmoid functions. The resulting GFB frequency characteristics approximation error dependence on the number of sigmoids used in the prototype filter is analyzed. The analysis of the computational complexity of the WCMFB is performed, and it is shown how the number of addition and multiplication operations depends on the length of the impulse response of the prototype filter and the number of channels of the filter bank. It is concluded that the use of the WCMFB for the implementation of the GFB can significantly reduce the computational costs of implementing gammatone filters compared with direct implementation.

Published: September 2024

La “kombucha” es una bebida fermentada tradicional del continente asiático relacionada con actividades biológicas importantes y por su contenido de microorganismos. La bebida es ácida y para los consumidores no es agradable. Por lo que, se ha optado por saborizar la bebida con frutas y hortalizas para mejorar sus características sensoriales mediante una segunda fermentación. El objetivo es desarrollar una bebida análoga de kombucha con la incorporación del fruto de Parmentiera aculeata como saborizante alternativo de bajo costo pretendiendo la valorización del mismo. Se desarrolló la bebida de kombucha por fermentación de 12 días y mediante un diseño completo al azar se saborizó con jugo de P. aculeata, trozos del fruto y ambos en una segunda fermentación. Se monitoreó pH, °Brix y acidez titulable (ac. láctico y ac. acético, g/L). Principalmente, se observaron valores de pH consistentes con los reportados previamente (3.0-3.5), el consumo de 1°Brix durante la primera fermentación y una acidez titulable inferior a los reportes previos. La formulación 3 fue calificada como “me gusta poco”. Este es el primer reporte del uso del fruto de Parmentiera acuelata en la saborización de una bebida análoga de kombucha y es un aliciente para el desarrollo de nuevas bebidas fermentadas.
Vertical distributions of megafauna on inactive vent sulfide features correspond to their feeding modes
Authors:   ,   Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Meneses Michael J. ,   Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
Published: September 2024

The discovery of inactive hydrothermal vent sulfide features located off the ridge axis in the 9°50'N region of the East Pacific Rise provides an opportunity to investigate knowledge gaps in the distribution and feeding ecology of communities inhabiting this type of deep-sea habitat. Previous seafloor imaging studies indicate that megafaunal taxa on inactive sulfides are not endemic to these features, but their assemblages differ from other deep-sea habitats. I investigated the influence of environmental conditions on megafaunal distributions using highresolution imagery of two inactive sulfide features, Lucky's Mound and Sentry Spire, to determine how taxonomic composition and feeding traits vary with vertical position on the features. A total of 51 morphotypes, each categorized to feeding mode, was identified from three levels of the features (spire, apron, and base) and a section of the surrounding flat oceanic rise. Quantitative image analysis showed that passive suspension feeders were more abundant on the spires of the sulfide features than the base or surrounding rise. Deposit feeders were more abundant on the base of Lucky’s mound and the oceanic rise, than on the spire or apron, but were unexpectedly abundant on the spire of Sentry Spire. These distributions correspond generally to the expected availability of suspended organic particles and detritus on the seafloor that serve, respectively, as food for these two feeding modes, and indicate a potential role for physical attributes of the sulfide feature to influence their faunal assemblages. Distinct differences in community composition between the two inactive sulfide features, however, suggest that other, feature-specific processes, perhaps including local chemoautotrophic production, may also play a role.

The article concerns the activity of the Polish community in Canada in the context of social capital. It presents the results of sociological empirical research carried out using an online questionnaire survey among Canadian Polish youth who cooperate with a Polish community organization and the one that does not undertake such cooperation. The respondents participating in the study function in the multicultural society of Canada on a daily basis, which – as it turned out in the course of the analyses – creates an opportunity to acquire and accumulate social capital resources. The article also describes selected theoretical concepts regarding this resource. Their analysis was made by taking into account three components that appear in Robert Putnam’s approach: trust, norms and connections of the respondents. It was presented how respondents define trust itself and what level of trust they have in relation to selected social groups. Their view on the relationship between belonging to social organizations (e.g. The Władysław Reymont Foundation) with norms and morality was also described. The article also presents the frequency of respondents’ contacts with selected groups and their opinions on social organizations. The empirical considerations allowed to verify the research hypothesis that cooperation with The Władysław Reymont Foundation is conducive to the social capital of migrants.

Authors: Tan Hongmei , Wei Jiahao , Zeng Yong , Zeng Yutong , Zheng Huijun
Published: September 2024

In this study, a cable-stayed bridge was developed, characterised by short pylons and outwardly inclined cable planes. The dynamic characteristics of this bridge were investigated using the Lanczos eigenvalue and finite-element methods. The first ten mode shapes and frequencies were analysed to this end. The influences of key parameters, such as the inclination angle of the pylons and the height and stiffness of the cable–pylon anchorage, on the dynamic characteristics of the bridge were examined. The results showed that the transverse bending modes of the main girder occurred first, while modes related to pylons appeared later. The torsional vibrational modes appeared in the tenth order, indicating the bridge had suitable wind resistance. Further, the outwardly inclined cable planes enhanced the lateral seismic resistance of the bridge. Increasing the rigidities of the cable–pylon anchorage and main girder can improve the dynamic characteristics of the bridge. This is accomplished by reducing the height of the cable–pylon anchorage and adding auxiliary piers.

Due to the ever growing need to incorporate ecofriendly and sustainable materials in construction projects, this research study was carried out with the purpose of exploring the feasibility of utilizing recycled municipal solid waste ash (RMSWA) as a sustainable material for stabilizing clayey lateritic soils (LS).The research was aimed at investigating the effect of incorporating varying amounts of RMSWA on the engineering properties of weak soils. Laterite specimens were incorporated with the varying ash contents at intervals of 3%, 6%, 9%, 12% and 15% as replacement levels, and tested for Atterberg limits, compaction and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) behavior. The scanning electron microscopic (SEM) test was conducted to determine the morphology changes in the soil when blended with RMSWA contents at curing ages of 1, 7 and 14 days. Based on the results of UCS test, stress - strain behavior, load - deformation relationships curves were also established and analyzed. Results from the Atterberg limit test revealed that the plastic index, plastic limit, liquid limit ranged between 1.6-11.9%, 20.6-24.5% and 26.1-35.0%. The maximum dry density of the samples increased with the ash inclusion, with the maximum dry density value of 2020Kg/m3 achieved at 6% ash inclusion, thus making it suitable in laterite stabilization.
NARRATIVES, VIOLENCE, AND SOCIAL CONFLICTS: THE CASE OF THE 1980S AUTONOMIST SQUATTER MOVEMENT
Authors: van der Steen Bart
Published: September 2024

The relationship between activism, repression, and violent escalation is central to social movement scholarship. The strategic reasons for movements to place “internal brakes” on violence have been mapped, but less is known about how movements create and enforce these brakes. This article argues that narratives play a central role in this process and demonstrates how narratives both enabled and limited violent activism in the 1980s autonomist squatter movement. Although activists acknowledged that the movement's strength relied on its ability to resist the authorities forcefully, there was also an acute awareness among many that violence could easily escalate into a lethal spiral. In response, activists developed narratives that defined the norms for the legitimate use of force and limited violent escalation. They devised narrative strategies to rein in more extremist fellow activists. Narratives often worked to set boundaries on violent activism effectively, but the decline of the movement in the late 1980s was characterized by transgressions into lethal violence and an inability to process or limit these transgressions narratively.

The health care professionals are facing the challenge to combine and translate the findings from a plethora of, often conflicting, clinical trials or clinical studies in order to reach an evidence-based decision. The application of a meta-analytical approach in the medical field allows the systematic synthesis and assessment of the results across studies to draw conclusions about the main body of the research, such as a more accurate estimate of treatment effect or determining disease risk factors. Herein, we review the advantages and the basic steps of meta-analysis towards the identification of powerful cancer biomarkers.
Brainspotting Terapi
Authors: Bal Fatih
Published: September 2024

Brainspotting, nörobiyolojik olarak uyumlu bir klinik ilişki çerçevesinde danışanın doğuştan gelen kendini gözlemleme ve kendini iyileştirme kapasitelerine erişen, David Grand tarafından keşfedilen ve geliştirilen nispeten yeni bir tür beyin-beden psikoterapötik yaklaşımıdır. Bu terapötik aracın çerçeve, protokol, beklenen etkiler ve etkinliğini açıklanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı Brainspotting'in potansiyel uygulanabilirliğini incelemektir. Araştırmada veri toplama yolu olarak, "belge tarama- literatür tarama" yönteminden yararlanılmıştır. Brainspotting psikoterapisi, Travma Sonrası Stres Bozukluğu, duygusal düzensizlik, anksiyete ve/veya depresif sendromlar olmak üzere psiko-travmatik sendromlardan muzdarip hastaların yönetimini amaçlamaktadır. Bu yaklaşım, hipnoterapi ve EMDR'nin (Göz Hareketleriyle Duyarsızlaştırma ve Yeniden İşleme) özelliklerini birleştirir ve travmatik anıların psikolojik özümsenme süreçlerini teşvik edebilen göz pozisyonları kavramına dayanır. Brainspotting sayesinde danışanlar beynin esnekliğini deneyimler ve öz düzenleme yeteneğini geliştirebilir. Bu beyin değiştirici egzersiz, beynin farklı alanları arasındaki bağlantıları güçlendirebilir ve bir danışmanlık ilişkisinde konuşmalar yapma ve duygusal anıları görsel olarak yeniden işleme süreci yoluyla beyin yapısını değiştirebilir. Klinik psikolojide ve uygulamalı psikolojide psikoterapi yöntemi olarak kullanabilir.
