Visibility-derived aerosol optical depth over global land from 1980 to 2021
Authors: Hao Hongfei , Wang Kaicun , Zhao Chuanfeng , Wu Guocan , Li Jing
Published: November 2023

Abstract. Long-term and high spatial resolution aerosol optical depth (AOD) data are necessary for climate change detection and attribution. Global ground-based AOD observation stations are sparse, and satellite AOD observations have a low time frequency, as well low accuracy before 2000. In this study, AOD was derived from hourly visibility observations collected at more than 5000 stations of the Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) over global land from 1980 to 2021. The AOD retrievals of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) onboard the Aqua Earth observation satellite were used to train the machine learning method, and the ERA5 reanalysis boundary layer height was used as input. The predicted result has correlation coefficients of 0.54 and 0.51 with Terra MODIS satellite retrievals and AERONET ground observations. The correlation coefficients are higher at monthly and annual scales, which are 0.81 and 0.61 for the monthly and 0.91 and 0.62 for the annual, when compared with Terra MODIS and AERONET AOD, respectively. The visibility-derived AOD at ASOS stations was gridded into a 0.5-degree resolution by area-weighted ordinary kriging interpolation. Analysis of visibility-derived AOD indicates that the global mean AOD over land is 0.16, which is 0.24, 0.22, 0.11, 0.11, 0.130, and 0.12 for Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, and South America, respectively. The mean AOD over global land, the Northern Hemisphere, and the Southern Hemisphere demonstrated decreasing trends of -0.0026/10a, -0.0018/10a, and -0.0059/10a, respectively, from 1980 to 2021. The visibility-derived AOD at station and grid scales over global land from 1980 to 2021 are available at National Tibetan Plateau / Third Pole Environment Data Center (https://doi.org/10.11888/Atmos.tpdc.300822) (Hao et al., 2023).
Machine learning for numerical weather and climate modelling: a review
Authors: de Burgh-Day Catherine O. , Leeuwenburg Tennessee
Published: November 2023

Abstract. Machine learning (ML) is increasing in popularity in the field of weather and climate modelling. Applications range from improved solvers and preconditioners, to parameterization scheme emulation and replacement, and more recently even to full ML-based weather and climate prediction models. While ML has been used in this space for more than 25 years, it is only in the last 10 or so years that progress has accelerated to the point that ML applications are becoming competitive with numerical knowledge-based alternatives. In this review, we provide a roughly chronological summary of the application of ML to aspects of weather and climate modelling from early publications through to the latest progress at the time of writing. We also provide an overview of key ML terms, methodologies, and ethical considerations. Finally, we discuss some potentially beneficial future research directions. Our aim is to provide a primer for researchers and model developers to rapidly familiarize and update themselves with the world of ML in the context of weather and climate models.
The Benefits of the Everyone In Initiative and the Deeper-Rooted Problems It Revealed for Migrants Experiencing Homelessness
Authors: Piazza Roberta , Stewart Simon
Published: November 2023

This article addresses the broad research aim of understanding migrants’ experiences of homelessness during the Coronavirus Disease of (COVID-19) pandemic through a novel combination of linguistic and sociological analysis. In our analysis of life story interviews, we find that the United Kingdom (UK) Government’s Everyone In initiative, which suspended eligibility criteria to provide support and accommodation to those experiencing homelessness or deemed to be at risk of rough sleeping, was hugely beneficial for migrants. This indicates what is possible when there is the political will to end rough sleeping. In its analysis of life stories gathered during the pandemic, the article proceeds to identify deeper-rooted problems relating to the weak and restricted structural position of migrants experiencing homelessness. Having spent time in the UK with an ‘inferior status’, with limited access to work and welfare, economic and social capital, and often with experiences of trauma in the UK and/or in their countries of origin, many of our research participants express a lack of control and a sense of being controlled in their conditions of existence. Further, their isolation and loneliness in the individual rooms provided in the emergency accommodation is indicative of a deeper-rooted sense of separation deriving from years spent sleeping rough or living in temporary and insecure accommodation. Experiences of isolation and the sense of a lack of control are corrosive to mental health, and during the pandemic, mental health problems were also exacerbated by welfare checks and other rule-based practices that are potentially re-traumatising.
O cinema russo-soviético: uma proposta de periodização
Authors: Costa Adriano Medeiros , Oliveira Elizangela Justino de
Published: November 2023

O presente artigo, oriundo do projeto de extensão “Filmoteca on-line russo-soviética” , propõe uma periodização da produção cinematográfica russo-soviética em três períodos distintos: Império Russo (1896-1917), na qual estão suas origens, passando pelo cinema produzido na União Soviética (1917-1991), até o cinema contemporâneo produzido na Federação Russa desde 1991. Para isso, ao longo do transcurso da análise, são abordadas as transformações ocorridas no campo do cinema russo desde as primeiras experiências ainda no século XIX até as últimas décadas. Metodologicamente, neste artigo foi adotada a categoria da pesquisa qualitativa. O procedimento foi o de estudo de caso com pesquisa bibliográfica e filmográfica. Em termos de fundamentação teórica que pôde possibilitar uma base para a construção do artigo, foram de fundamental importância as obras de Sergei Eisenstein (2002a, 2002b, 2014), Dziga Viértov (2022), François Albera (2002), Zoia Barash (2008) e Pudovquin, Paiva (1958). Desta forma, conclui-se que, a depender do contexto, os âmbitos das produções cinematográficas russas sofreram influências oriundas diretamente do sistema econômico (semifeudal, socialista ou capitalista), cada qual a seu tempo, então vigente no país.

A Critique of Wiredu’s Project of Conceptual Decolonization of African Philosophy
Authors: Inusah Husein , Quansah Paa Kweku
Published: November 2023

To liberate African philosophy from the remnants of the colonial style of thought, Kwesi Wiredu promotes the idea of the conceptual decolonization of African philosophy. He argues that, to accomplish this project, African philosophers must theorize in African vernaculars. This article attempts to show that the project of the conceptual decolonization of African philosophy by recourse to theorizing in African vernaculars is challenging. It examines a particular strategy that Wiredu deploys in “Conceptual Decolonization as an Imperative in Contemporary African Philosophy,” in which he hopes to demonstrate that the Akan conception of mind is superior to the Cartesian conception of mind. It demonstrates that Wiredu’s attempt to show the superiority of the Akan conception of mind is unsuccessful and that his project of conceptual decolonization fails. Nevertheless, it concludes that Wiredu’s conceptual decolonization project still shows promise even in light of our criticisms.
Stylistics, Narratology, and Point of View: Partiality, Complementarity, and a New Definition
Authors: Shen Dan
Published: November 2023

Both stylistics and narratology pay much attention to point of view. This article discusses, from an interdisciplinary perspective, the advantages and disadvantages of each approach and tries to clear up the various kinds of confusion involved. It argues that the different concerns of stylistics and narratology result in two partial pictures that are very much complementary to each other. Both partiality and complementarity call for a redefinition of point of view to facilitate a more comprehensive investigation.
Jackass, Ritual Clowning, and the Comic Themes of Universal Occurrence
Authors: Hye-Knudsen Marc
Published: November 2023

The appeal of the Jackass television series and film franchise, centered around stunts wherein the performers deliberately hurt and humiliate themselves, has been considered a unique and peculiar mystery by cultural critics, one that can only be solved by looking at its particular historical and sociocultural context. In contrast, this article argues that Jackass constitutes a resurgence of a widespread form of comedy whose roots stretch far back into human history: ritual clowning. Comparing the stunts and gags of Jackass with those of ritual clowns in traditional societies around the world, both are shown to be characterized by four universal comic themes: pain, sex, the foreign, and the sacred. In contrast to previous critical readings that have attributed each of these themes in Jackass to its particular historical and sociocultural context, this article argues that they are all ultimately grounded in our evolved psychology as universal pressure points that humor can tap into.

Authors: LOI Nguyen Van , TUAN Le Anh , BINH Pham Thi , NGOC Nguyen Thi Thanh
Published: November 2023

In Vietnam, star anise is grown in the provinces of Yen Bai, Ha Giang, Lao Cai, Lang Son, Bac Kan, and Cao Bang. The study aimed to analyze the chemical components, and antifungal and anti-mycotoxigenic (aflatoxin B1 and fumonisin B1) activity of star anise essential oils. By the gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method, 15 chemical components were predicted in the star anise essential oils. The major components were trans-anethole (67.05%), caryophyllene oxide (12.73%), limonene (4.27%), α-terpineol (2.43%), and myrcene (2.39%). The antifungal activity at 100 ppm recorded 85.24±0.05%, 76.73±0.06%, 69.37±0.02%, and 67.96±0.04% inhibition for Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus parasiticus, Fusarium verticillioides, and Penicillium, respectively. Complete inhibition of 100% was observed at 200 ppm and 300 ppm for both A. flavus and A. parasiticus and at 400 ppm for F. verticillioides and Penicillium. Complete aflatoxin B1 inhibition was achieved at 100 and 200 ppm for A. flavus and A. parasiticus.
Factors interfering with the production of Histoplasma capsulatum antigens
Authors: Santos de Freitas-Xavier Roseli , Alves Feitosa Maciel Isabel , Teixeira de Freitas Vera Lúcia , Vicentini Adriana Pardini
Published: November 2023

Histoplasma capsulatum causes systemic mycosis that depends on host susceptibility, fungal virulence, and factors associated with the infectious process. We evaluated the possible interference of the phenotype of 12 samples of H. capsulatum isolated from HIV-positive and negative patients in obtaining antigens, aiming at the serological diagnosis through the gender-specific recognition of the H and M fractions. The antigens were evaluated by double immunodiffusion against H. capsulatum anti-antigen polyclonal antibody and serum samples from patients with histoplasmosis. The phenotypic evaluation revealed differences in the identification of the fungal agent and in the expression of H and M antigens, considered serological markers of the disease, associated with pigmentation and the production of conidia. It was found that antigenic preparations obtained from H. capsulatum isolated from HIV-positive patients may have satisfactory antigenic capacity. The patient’s immune status does not seem to interfere with the expression of antigenic proteins secreted by H. capsulatum. However, we suggest that prolonged use of antiretrovirals drugs or steroids can cause important phenotypic alterations. We showed that some fungal samples from patients with a long history of immunosuppressive drugs produced atypical cellular elements and low reactivity against the H and M fractions.

Published: November 2023

Introduction: Acute ethmoiditis (AE) in children mainly concerns the ethmoid sinus. It is often diagnosed after its externalization. It is a serious infection, whose ocular and endocranial complications can jeopardize the visual and vital functional prognosis. The treatment is essentially medical based on the combination of antibiotics. Case Report: Description of a case of ethmoiditis in a 3-year-old child consulting for eyelid edema that progressed within five days. The general condition was altered by a fever of 38.5°C, with an unwell appearance and left eyelid edema with a tendency to reduction of the eyelid fissure was noted. The ear, nose, throat (ENT) examination showed left perinasal swelling affecting the nasal pyramid, the zygomatic arch, and the left periorbital region. The left nasal cavity was of reduced caliber with the presence of mucopurulent secretions through the ipsilateral nostril orifice. Acute externalized ethmoiditis was made as a clinical diagnosis. The clinical evolution was good under antibiotic therapy for 15 days with parenteral ceftriaxone which will be relayed by amoxi-clavulanic ac orally on the seventh day; parenteral metronidazole with a PO relay on the fifth day; parenteral dexamethasone and paracetamol for five days; argyrol nasally for seven days. Conclusion: Acute ethmoiditis remains an infantile pathology with multiple neighborhood and remote complications, including periorbital and endocranial cellulitis involving vital and visual prognosis.

Discovering the Meaning of Leadership: A Canadian First Nations Exploration
Authors: Kwantes Catherine T. , Stonefish Twiladawn
Published: November 2023

First Nations Canadians are in a unique cultural context, with values resulting from both traditional, heritage influences and Eurocentric Canadian influences. Different patterns of endorsing heritage versus mainstream values have resulted. This research examined leadership preferences in First Nations individuals. Linking acculturation patterns to descriptors of leadership attributes that enhance or inhibit outstanding leadership, characteristics of leadership prototypes were developed for members of four acculturative strategy groups. These leadership prototypes were then compared with existing academic leadership theories.
Understanding Manitoba’s Growing Indigenous Economy

Published: November 2023

[...]control over traditional lands allows Indigenous peoples to decide what economic endeavours are best suited to sustained success. [...]not only has infrastructure spending provided viable economic opportunities for Indigenous peoples across Manitoba, the developmental success of Indigenous economies constitutes a vital part of the larger Manitoba economy. Stemming from this is a joint effort to establish a Development Corporation that would funnel profit generated by NCN into "capital, business development, and NCN government run programs" (Ashton et al., 2019, p. 157). The Mystery Lake Hotel, Trappers Tavern, and gas station are the primary sources of revenue, supported by the training provided by NCN to community members in hospitality, management, and accounting (Ashton et al., 2019).
Indigenous and Non-Indigenous 2021 Unemployment, Employment, and Participation Rates: Improved from 2020—Education is Critical
Authors: Oppenheimer Robert J.
Published: November 2023

Unemployment rates were lower, and participation and employment rates were higher for Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada in 2021. The meaningful improvements in 2021 are in comparison with the COVID-19-induced negative rates of 2020. The employment and unemployment rates have not fully recovered from their 2019 pre-COVID rates. This is the case for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. Employment, unemployment, participation, and wage rates are and have been more favourable for non-Indigenous individuals than for Indigenous individuals. When educational levels increase, employment, unemployment, and participation rates improve. Employment measures are examined by gender, age, and education, and Métis and First Nations employment measures are compared.

The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Aboriginal Economic Development Corporations (AEDCs), 2019–2021: An Interview-based Perspective with CEOs
Authors: Coates Ken , Finnegan Greg
Published: November 2023

Collaborating with the Canadian Council on Aboriginal Business (CCAB), the authors investigate how Aboriginal Economic Development Corporations (AEDCs) responded to and, in most cases, weathered the commercial disruptions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Working from survey interviews, supplemented by business data from previous CCAB national surveys and other governmental information, the authors explore the challenges that CEOs faced and how they managed their companies through the COVID crisis. For many of the AEDCs respondents, the problems they were facing were not necessarily brought on by the pandemic but were outgrowths of pre-existing socioeconomic disparities that had been exacerbated by COVID-19. Throughout the pandemic, these CEOs battled to maintain operations, manage and support staff in trying circumstances, and keep their assets operating or safely managed. They frequently assisted their home communities with services not normally within their purview, including producing PPE products and delivering groceries and medicine to remote communities. This report focuses on crisis management and can be a useful reference point for policymakers and decision-makers looking to create coherent responses to whatever the next crisis faced by EDCs might be.

The application of neutrosophic statistics provides a novel approach to dealing with uncertain and imprecise data problems. In this study, we present an improved method called neutrosophic Rayleigh exponential weighted moving average chart. The chart is an extension of the traditional model and can be applied in various fields. The proposed scheme is designed to enhance the detection capability of the traditional chart. The key features of the suggested chart are discussed, highlighting its capability to handle vague, indeterminate, and fuzzy data situations. We evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme by analyzing the designated limits and charting parameters for different sample sizes. Moreover, we establish the performance metrics of the chart such as neutrosophic run length ( ) and neutrosophic power curve ( ).Performance metrics demonstrate that the chart is highly sensitive to persistent shifts in the scaling parameter of the neutrosophic Rayleigh distribution. Monte Carlo simulations are conducted to compare the suggested scheme with the existing model. A comparative study indicates that the proposed chart outperforms the competing design, particularly in detecting smaller shifts. Finally, we provide a charting structure for the proposed design using daily average wind speed data, which can be used as a practical implementation guideline for real-world applications.

In practical scenarios, it is common to encounter fuzzy data that contains numerous imprecise observations. The uncertainty associated with this type of data often leads to the use of interval statistical measures and the proposal of neutrosophic versions of probability distributions to better handle such data. This study introduces a new generalized design of the log-logistic distribution within a neutrosophic framework, building upon encouraging applications of this distribution in fields such as economics, engineering, survival analysis, and lifetime modeling. The proposed neutrosophic log-logistic distribution (NLLD) is analyzed in terms of statistical properties, including moments, shape coefficients, and various survival characteristics. To evaluate the performance of the predicted neutrosophic parameters, an estimation procedure is conducted. Finally, the practical application of the proposed model is demonstrated using a sample dataset consisting of 128 bladder cancer patients.

One of the most important theories in linear programming is the dualistic theory and its basic idea is that for every linear model has dual linear model, so that solving the original linear model gives a solution to the dual model. Therefore, when we solving the linear programming model, we actually obtain solutions for two linear models. In this research, we present a study of the models. The neutrosophic dual and the binary simplex algorithm, which works to find the optimal solution for the original and dual models at the same time. The importance of this algorithm is evident in that it is relied upon in several operations research topics, such as integer programming algorithms, some nonlinear programming algorithms, and sensitivity analysis in linear programming...

Maallikkoasianajosta kohti juristien esiinmarssia
Authors: Vasara-Aaltonen Marianne
Published: November 2023

Käsittelen tässä artikkelissa asianajoa Kuopion ja Vaasan raastuvanoikeuksissa 1800-luvulla. Kysyn, kuinka yleistä asianajajan käyttö oli, ketkä tarjosivat asianajopalveluita, miten asianajajat toimivat oikeudessa, ja miten asianajo kuvastaa oikeudellisen osaamisen tasoa 1800-luvun pienehköissä kaupungeissa. Lähteinä käytän muun muassa raastuvanoikeuksien pöytäkirjoja ja sanomalehtiaineistoa. Suomalainen oikeuskulttuuri ja tuomioistuinlaitos olivat perinteisesti olleet maallikkovaltaisia, ja tämä piti paikkansa edelleen 1800-luvulle tultaessa. Vuosisadan alussa oppineet ammattiasianajajat olivat vielä harvassa. Sen sijaan maallikkoasioitsijat ja kaupungin virkamiehet harjoittivat usein asianajoa sivutoimisesti. Vuosisadan lopun oikeudellinen modernisaatio ja yleinen professiokehitys kuitenkin synnyttivät myös modernin, koulutetun asianajajakunnan. Kehitys alkoi pääkaupungista Helsingistä. Vaikka koulutettuja ammattiasianajajia alkoi vuosisadan lopulla löytyä myös pienemmistä kaupungeista, kuten Kuopiosta ja Vaasasta, maallikkoasianajajien merkitys oli näissä suuri vielä 1900-luvun vaihteessakin. Kaupunkien virkamiehillä ei ollut oikeudellista koulutusta, mutta heillä oli niin sanottua oikeudellista tietotaitoa, joka mahdollisti sivutoimisen asianajon harjoittamisen. Artikkeli pyrkii siten myös laajentamaan käsitystä oikeudellisesta toimijuudesta.

Artikkeli käsittelee professori Gunnar Landtmanin toimintaa 1930-luvulla käydyssä keskustelussa kuolemanrangaistuksen käyttämisestä. Esitän Landtmanin toimineen akateemisena julkisena intellektuellina, joka hyödynsi tieteenalansa tietoa yhteiskunnallisessa keskustelussa. Landtmanin sosiologiset tutkimukset tarjosivat hänelle välineen argumentoida lehtikirjoituksissa kuolemanrangaistuksen käyttämistä vastaan. Hänen mukaansa, sivilisoituneen yhteiskunnan ei pitäisi palata primitiivisiin käytänteisiin käyttämällä kuolemanrangaistusta. Sellainen heikentäisi koko yhteisöä. Lehtikirjoitusten lisäksi Landtman oli mukana kuolemanrangaistusta vastustaneessa komiteassa ja perustamassa Ihmisoikeuksien liittoa.

Artikkelissaan Juvonen osoittaa historiallisten tutkimusmenetelmien ja tulkintaprosessien ongelmakohtia ja kysyy poleemisesti, ”kykenevätkö heterohistorioitsijat luopumaan heteroseksuaalisuutensa herkeämättömästä uusintamisesta omissa tutkimuksissaan?”
Historiapolitiikkaa kolkkapojille

Erinomainen artikkelisarja historian käytöstä poliittisiin tarpeisiin (Historiallinen Aikakauskirja 4/2021) toi mieleen suomenkielisen partioliikkeen kolkkapoikaohjelman, jota sovellettiin laajasti 1940-luvulta 1970-luvulle. Tuhannet 7–11-vuotiaat pojat ovat olleet sen piirissä. Ohjelma rakentui ennen muuta mytologialle muinaissuomalaisesta ”sankariajasta”. Kolkkapojan kirjan alussa kerrottiin myös allegoria talvisodasta.

"Missä sinä kuvittelet olevasi? – Var tror du att du är? – Where do you think you are?" Tämä on keskeinen kysymys Kansallismuseon Toista Maata -näyttelyssä. Näyttely tarjoaa uuden tulkinnan Suomen historiasta keskiajalta aina 1800-luvun alkuun. Tai kenties kyseessä on pikemminkin näkökulma suomalaisten historiaan, tai Suomen asukkaiden historiaan; määrittely jää hiukan avoimeksi.

Introduction: Research has suggested a relationship between health literacy, socioeconomic status and health-related outcomes. The aim of the study was to study the association between health literacy, socioeconomic status and outcomes following infra-inguinal bypass surgery for chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI). Methods: Patients with CLTI undergoing lower limb surgical bypass graft operations between January 2016 and December 2018 were included in a cross-sectional observational study. The HLS19-Q12 questionnaire categorised participant’s health literacy as inadequate, problematic, sufficient or excellent. Socioeconomic status was assessed using the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD). Primary outcomes were major lower limb amputation (MLLA) and adverse cardiovascular events. Secondary outcomes included length of hospital stay, and early postoperative complications including pneumonia, surgical site and graft infection. Kaplan– Meier survival curves were used to compare health literacy and amputation, and Cox proportional regression analysis was conducted to identify differences in limb loss risk against health literacy and social deprivation levels. Results: The study consisted of 50 patients with an average age of 70±8.7 years. The participants' levels of health literacy were classified as inadequate (28%), problematic (38%), sufficient (24%) or excellent (10%). Approximately 40% of the patients lived in the most deprived areas. While all health literacy groups had similar postoperative outcomes, low health literacy was connected with lower socioeconomic status (r=0.308, p=0.029). IMD (p=0.017, HR 0.502 (95% CI 0.285 to 0.883)) and haemoglobin (p=0.001, HR 0.919 (95% CI 0.872 to 0.968)) were significant predictors of MLLA. Conclusion: Patients with lower health literacy are more likely to face higher levels of social deprivation, which may predict amputation following bypass surgery. Enhancing health literacy could play a role in reducing health disparities caused by social deprivation, thereby potentially addressing a vascular James Lind Alliance priority.

Đối với bê tông thường (CVC), quy trình thiết kế cấp phối bê tông tương đối đơn giản, thông thuờng chỉ cần thử nghiệm một số cấp phối với tỷ lệ xi măng khác nhau, chi phí một đợt thí nghiệm là không đáng kể. Trong khi đó để thiết kế cấp phối bê tông tính năng cao (HPC), do phải xác định cấp phối sao cho thỏa mãn yêu cầu kỹ thuật, trong đó quan trọng nhất với HPC là yêu cầu về cường độ chịu nén và độ chảy xòe. Hiện nay các cơ quan, doanh nghiệp, các nhà nghiên cứu thường phải tốn rất nhiều công sức, kinh phí để làm thí nghiệm và thử nghiệm hiện trường. Bài viết này, tác giả đã sử dụng phương pháp quy hoạch thực nghiệm để tìm ra cấp phối tối ưu cho bê tông tính năng cao với  mác bê tông thiết kế đã cho ban đầu, thỏa mãn yêu cầu về cường độ và độ chảy xòe mà số thí nghiệm phải làm là ít nhất.

Nghiên cứu này sử dụng cốt liệu tái chế thay thế cho cốt liệu lớn trong bê tông với hàm lượng lần lượt là 25, 50, 75 và 100% theo khối lượng. Nhiệt độ sử dụng thay đổi từ 80, 100, 120 và 1400C. Dung dịch hóa học HCl và  Na2SO4 với nồng độ 0,05 – 0,2 Mol/ lít được dùng để xử lý cốt liệu. Thực nghiệm cho thấy cốt liệu tái chế với kích thước khác nhau thay thế trong hỗn hợp bê tông làm giảm độ linh động và cường độ bê tông. Nhóm cốt liệu kích thước 5 – 10 mm làm giảm tính chất của hỗn hợp bê tông rõ rệt hơn so với cốt liệu có kích thước 10 – 20 mm. Sử dụng nhiệt độ từ 80 đến 1400C có tác dụng làm giảm hàm lượng vữa bám dính trên cốt liệu tái chế 4 – 5% tùy theo nhóm cốt liệu. Hỗn hợp bê tông có xu hướng cải thiện độ linh động và cường độ khi dùng nhiệt độ đến 1400C cho cốt liệu 10 – 20 mm. Sử dụng dung dịch hóa học có xu hướng giảm hàm lượng vữa bám dính trên cốt liệu 15 – 20% khi nồng độ dung dịch 0,1 – 0,2 Mol/lít tùy theo nhóm cốt liệu. Cường độ bê tông cải thiện đến 15 – 20% với nhóm 5-10 mm và cải thiện đến 30% với nhóm 10-20 mm. Dung dịch HCl có tác dụng rõ rệt trong việc cải thiện tính chất của cốt liệu tái chế dùng trong bê tông
DICES SER FREIRIANO POR ELLO TE INTERPELAMOS: ¿CUÁLES SON TUS FRUTOS?
Authors: Rodriguez Milagros Elena
Published: November 2023

Ser Freiriano es un ejercicio de respeto y de amor por la liberación de los seres humanos en la praxis, empantanarse de ello, y no una mera repetición de Paulo Freire en las políticas educativas e indagaciones. Por eso preguntarnos por el asunto ¿Qué es ser Freirianos? Nos puede llevar a compromisos por nuestro hacer que tal vez no hemos asumido. En esas realidades vividas en nuestros países, asumimos en como objetivo complejo analizar respuestas al ejercicio de ser Freiriano, con interpelaciones y respuestas a las interrogantes: ¿Cuáles son tus frutos? ¿Qué es ser Freiriano a la luz de la opresión hoy? ¿Cómo aplicas la educación para la libertad en medio del oprobio de las falsas decolonialidades? ¿Cuáles son algunas concepciones del ejercicio de ser Freiriano? Para ello realizamos una pesquisa rizomática, transmetódica, decolonial planetaria-compleja con la hermenéutica comprensiva ecosófica y diatópica.

Assessing Gambler’s Fallacy in Children Through Framing and Executive Functioning
Authors: Pope Juliette H. , Cleaveland J. Mark
Published: November 2023

There is a gap in the literature concerning how recency biases develop in younger cohorts, and their impact on mathematical reasoning. The gambler’s fallacy is a negative recency bias that is defined as the false belief that for independent events, a streak of one outcome means that outcome is less likely to occur on a subsequent trial. In order to explore the developmental trajectory of this phenomenon, two groups of young children (4-5 years vs 7-8 years) participated in three tasks. All children first participated in a Flanker Inhibitory Control and Attention Test. The results of this test served to provide a measure of executive functioning for each participant. Next the children participated in two outcome prediction tasks. In one, each child observed a “friend” hiding behind one of two bushes over a sequence of trials, and then predicted their hiding location on a critical choice trial. In the other prediction task, participants observed an animation of a leaf falling from a tree and landing in one of two locations. In a critical choice trial, the participants predicted the landing spot of the leaf for the subsequent trial. Our data show 1) age differences in executive functioning scores, 2) an increase in negative recency bias as a function of executive functioning, and 3) the influence of framing effects on recency bias.
