Comparison of optimal power production and operation of unmoored floating offshore wind turbines and energy ships
Authors: Connolly Patrick , Crawford Curran
Published: November 2022

Abstract. As the need to transition from global reliance on fossil fuels grows, solutions for producing green alternative fuels are necessary. These fuels will be especially important for hard-to-decarbonize sectors such as shipping. Mobile offshore wind energy systems (MOWESs) have been proposed as one such solution. These systems aim to harness the far-offshore wind resource, which is abundant and yet untapped because of installation and grid-connection limitations. Two classes of MOWES have been proposed in the literature: unmoored floating offshore wind turbines (UFOWTs) and energy ships (ESs). Both systems operate as autonomous Power to X (PtX) plants, powered entirely by wind energy, and so can be used to produce synthetic green fuels such as hydrogen or ammonia, or for other energy intensive applications such as direct air carbon capture. The two technologies differ in form; UFOWTs are based on a conventional FOWT but include propellers in place of mooring lines for sea-/course-keeping, while ESs operate like a sailing ship and generate power via hydroturbines mounted on the underside of the hull. Though much research and development is necessary for these systems to be feasible, the promise of harnessing strong winds far offshore, as well as the potential to avoid siting regulatory challenges, are enticing. This paper develops models of each MOWES concept to compare their power production on a consistent basis. The performance of the technologies are examined at steady-state operating points across relative wind speeds and angles. An optimization scheme is used to determine the values of the control variables which define the operating point for each set of environmental conditions. Results for each model show good agreement with published results for both UFOWTs and ESs. Model results suggest that UFOWTs can generate more power than ESs under ideal environmental conditions, but are very sensitive to off-design operating conditions. In above-rated wind speeds, the UFOWT is able to produce as much power as a conventional, moored FOWT, whereas the ES cannot, since some power is always consumed to spin the Flettner rotors. The models developed here and their results may both be useful in future works that focus on the routing of UFOWTs, or holistically designing a mobile UFOWT. Although differences in the performance of the systems have been identified, more work is necessary to discern which is a more viable producer of green e-fuels.
After the Eruption: A Reply to My Interlocutors
Authors: Maher Geo
Published: November 2022

Good interlocutors are a blessing, and needless to say, I’m feeling very blessed today. This is especially true for a project in which vision figures so centrally, since we often see most clearly through the parallax of another’s eyes. Contributors to this conversation have cast distinct lines of sight onto Anticolonial Eruptions that have allowed me to see both otherwise and better, to recognize which elements of my original argument remain incomplete or unclear, to glimpse what was overlooked or taken for granted, and to realize other moments where I might have been wrong entirely. They have revealed how my book, despite diagnosing colonial hubris, might reproduce blindspots that are more or less hubristic in their own right. This apparent irony is anything but. Any book, especially one this short, slices into and across history and theory ways that are inescapably partial, leaving a generative remainder to be dealt with. But more than this, I find nothing but encouragement in how my comrade-readers have taken up the lenses provided—the colonial blindspot, the second sight of the colonized, and the decolonial ambush—to excavate and cultivate a radical second sight from the depths of the colonial blindspot. Whether diagnosing the paradoxical unseeing of ocular-centrism, my own blindness toward the revolutionary nature of care as community resistance, or the ways that tropes of inevitability might refract my political judgment, each of the critiques printed above offers, in Kevin Bruyneel’s words, “more ammo for the canon/cannon” (88).
ՀՀ տնտեսական ինքնիշխանության հիմնահարցերը՝ արտաքին տնտեսական հարաբերությունների համապատկերում/Issues of the RA Economic Sovereignty in the Context of Foreign Economic Relations
Authors: GEVORGYAN GARNIK
Published: November 2022

The issues of the economic
sovereignty of states are more acute especially in recent
decades, due to growing internationalization and globalization in
the world economy. To establish favourable economic and trade
relations, countries integrate more into the world economy and
participate in the process of globalization. This almost inevitably
implies a certain reduction in the level of economic sovereignty
of the states, which forces the governments of the countries to
pursue an adequate policy, on the one hand, not to stay out of
the globalization process, and on the other hand, to face possible
threats of economic sovereignty. From the viewpoint of
confronting the possible threats to economic sovereignty, the
structure of the country's economy and economic proportions,
which show the degree of self-sufficiency and resilience of the
national economy, are essential. In countries that are considered
to have vulnerable economies to external influences, economic
sovereignty is under constant threat. In that case, countries that
have national economies with relatively high resilience are less
vulnerable to threats to economic sovereignty. The paper
analyzes the main macroeconomic indicators, the economic
proportions, the structure of export and import, etc. of the
Republic of Armenia, in the context of economic sovereignty and
possible threats to it. The external trade indicators were
observed in the areas of the integration directions of the RA,
such as the membership in the Eurasian Economic Union and
relations with the European Union. The relatively strong and
weak sides of the RA, in terms of the impact on the economic
sovereignty, were presented in those directions.

Ecological footprint (EF) measure how much productive land area is required for producing the products and resources consumed and the waste generated by humans. The problem of ecological overshooting is being faced by many developing countries like Pakistan. According to the Global Footprint Network, Pakistan is one of the ecologically in deficit countries list i.e we are consuming more than the available biocapacity with us. The ecological footprint of Pakistan in 2012 was 0.8 Gha per capita and biocapacity 0.4 Gha per capita. This is high time to think that whether we are living within our ecological limits and how fast humans are depleting the earth’s biosphere. With this background, the present study aims to estimate the ecological footprints at households’ level taking into account the food, housing, transportation, consumer goods and services in district Swat. Besides, the drivers of the ecological footprint and their impact on the ecological footprint was also estimated. This study used primary data which was collected through questionnaire designed by the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI). To support the analysis, additional information has also been collected through the self-designed questionnaire. The information obtained were converted into EF though calculator of SEI. The analysis was extended to rural and urban areas of district Swat. The study used a sample of 1063 households from 7 tehsils of district Swat. The sample size was proportionally allocated to rural and urban areas of the each tehsil. Accordingly, 744 and 319 households were selected from rural and urban areas respectively. The descriptive statistics alongwith regression model was used for the analysis. The findings revealed that carbon footprint is the major contributor to total EF. The rural households have higher EF than urban households. However, the ecological overshooting is observed in both rural and urban areas. The major influencing factors of the EF in district Swat are income, household size, education, location, (rural or urban), type of food used, fuel consumption, renewable sources of energy, solid waste, home type and size. Based on findings, it is recommended that the households should be encouraged to use renewable sources of energy in homes to reduce their EF. Particularly, the use of solar energy in the large houses should be ensured. The resources use needs to be monitored to reduce ecological overshooting. The waste generated needs to be properly recycled. The increasing carbon footprint should be controlled through sustainable practices in vehicles use and electric appliances at home. The households should be given environmental awareness and education through various means to reduce EF. Keywords:Ecological footprint

An image illustrating an emotional condition may be interpreted differently depending on the perception of the viewer. In such conditions, image captions offer a solution to get the focus of viewer confined to one point. Drawing upon the hypothesis that images without captions have a different capacity to effect the audience than the Images with given captions, the paper intends to measure the impact of verbal information (captions) on the perception of nonverbal communication (images) by following a posttest-only experimental design. Responses of two groups (n=50) exposed to stimulus material of images with captions (M= 98.88, SD= 6.89), and without captions (M= 55.92, SD= 3.55) are measured through a questionnaire developed on 7 points semantic differential scale. There was a statistically significant difference between two groups [t(35.871)= -27.707, p=.000] with a large magnitude effect as [ Eta-sq= 0.941] that confirmed the hypothesis.

The present study applies Roland Barthes’ five codes to Hills Like White Elephants (1927, later published in 1955 by Penguin Books), a short story by Earnest Hemingway, a popular minimalist writer of the 19th century. The study has examined the story in a qualitative manner by keeping in view Barthes’s five codes: proairetic, hermeneutic, semantic, symbolic and cultural ones. The present study first takes the critical overview of the story Hills Like White Elephants and then further analyzes it on a structural level by applying five codes as given by Barthes. The story opens with a long description of setting and the tense situation between the characters. The story is full of tension where several elements stand for connotative meanings. Patriarchal and authoritative nature of men is the prevailing theme in the story. Most importantly, binary oppositions (symbolic code) play a vital role in the structure of the story. The study concludes that the author has created a fine contrast between the personalities and feelings of The American (male) and the girl (Jig). Their conflicting nature, viewpoints, desires, feelings and emotions and their conflicting perception of the issue provide the content and construction of the plot of the story. The findings of the study reveal that all the Barthes’ five codes run through the narrative structure of the short story and help the reader to get new insight and meanings. Keywords: Structuralism, Barthes’ five Codes, Hills Like White Elephant, Earnest Hemingway.

Spanking to discipline a child has been a matter of great debate and concern throughout history. However, there is no such literature available on the relationship between gender, age and spanking to discipline a child from Multan district. Realizing the severity and importance of the current project was initiated to explain the views of parents and teachers on a Likert scale. A quantitative random survey research using a standardized instrument was carried out during 2020. Data were processed using descriptive and inferential statistical measures. Chi square test results revealed that there is a significant relationship between gender and spanking to discipline. However, Pearson’s and Spearman’s correlation do not show any significant relationship between the two variables. Both genders favour spanking to discipline children. However, females believe more in spanking to discipline. Keywords: Child discipline, correlation, punishment, spanking, personality, behaviour

INTRODUÇÃO:A neoplasia maligna de pênis é um tipo de tumoração rara no Brasil, com maior incidência nas regiões Norte e Nordeste. Esse tipo de tumor representa 2% de todos os tipos de câncer que atinge o homem. Acomete mais homens na faixa dos 50 anos, podendo ocorrer em mais jovens. Está intimamente ligado as baixas condições sócio econômicas, má higiene, fimose, e ao HPV (Papiloma Vírus Humano). OBJETIVO: Conhecer o perfil epidemiológico dos pacientes internados com neoplasia maligna de pênis. MÉTODOS: Os casos em estudo foram obtidos no SIH/SUS DATASUS de pacientes com neoplasia maligna de pênis no estado do Piauí dos anos de 2011 a 2021, com ênfase nas seguintes variáveis: cor/raça, faixa etária, divisão administrativa e óbitos. RESULTADOS: Entre os anos de 2011 e 2021, foram notificamos 840 casos de neoplasia maligna de pênis no Piauí, com maior ocorrência em 2014, com 116 casos (14,5%) e 2016 com 101 casos (12%). O ano de 2019 foi o ano com menor número de notificações 38 casos (4,5%). Quanto a faixa etária a maioria se concentrou-se entre os 60 e 69 anos, com 175 casos (20,8%), seguido por a faixa etária dos 50 e 59 anos, 166 casos (19,7%). Boa parte dos casos atingiram a população parda foram na população de raça parda, 773 casos (92%). Sua maior incidência foi na capital Teresina, com 796 casos (94,7%). CONCLUSÃO: A neoplasia maligna de pênis, no estado do Piauí, acomete mais homens idosos, de cor parda, no município de Teresina. A uniformidade de casos e a persistência ao longo dos anos demonstra o difícil controle, e principalmente denuncia a falta de cuidado do homem para com saúde. Desse modo é preciso que haja uma reformulação das estratégias de prevenção da neoplasia maligna de pênis.

INTRODUÇÃO: Considerado um problema de saúde pública, o tabagismo caracteriza-se pelo vício psicológico do tabaco, sendo a substância “nicotina” responsável pela dependência química dos usuários. Segundo a Organização Mundial da Saúde é uma das principais causas de mortalidade passíveis de prevenção. O tabagismo representa fator de risco para o desenvolvimento de patologias como diabetes, doenças cardiovasculares e respiratórias e pelo desenvolvimento de vários tipos de câncer. OBJETIVO: Descrever os fatores de risco relacionados ao uso dos dispositivos eletrônicos em jovens fumantes. MÉTODOS: Revisão integrativa, realizada de julho a agosto de 2022. Buscou-se investigar o conhecimento em literaturas nacionais e internacionais, culminando em um balanço dos dados obtidos na literatura sobre o tema abordado, nas seguintes bases de dados: Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE) via PUBMED, LILACS e IBECS por intermédio da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS). Foram incluídos artigos publicados nos últimos cinco anos em inglês e português com foco em pelo menos dois dos descritores pesquisados em seu título, resumo ou assunto. RESULTADOS E DISCUSSÃO: As consequências cardiovasculares e pulmonares decorrentes da utilização dos Cigarros Eletrônicos (CE) ocorrem devido ao grande teor de nicotina. Dependendo da composição do cigarro, os dispositivos também podem provocar envenenamentos e comprometer a saúde bucal. Entre os componentes presentes nos CE, o propilenoglicol é um dos mais nocivos pois provoca irritação no sistema respiratório e tem alta afinidade pelo sistema nervoso e baço, resultando em significativas alterações quando utilizado por tempo prolongado. CONCLUSÃO: Ressalta-se, que novos estudos relacionados a temática podem servir para apontar ações legislativas, educacionais e de terapêutica necessárias para impedir aumento dos indicadores de mortalidade associado tanto ao uso dos cigarros convencionais quanto ao uso dos dispositivos eletrônicos.

Published: November 2022

Extrusion technology is an efficient method of producing varieties of new food products with minimal loss of nutrients. It is a food processing technique that integrates numerous unit activities such as mixing, heating, kneading, shearing, shaping, and forming into a single process. Food extrusion is a type of extrusion that is used in the food processing industry. It is a procedure in which a mixture of materials is driven through an aperture in a perforated plate or die with a food-specific pattern, and then cut to size by blades. The extruder is the machine that drives the mixture through the die, and the mixture is known as the extrudate. The extruder is made out of a big revolving screw that is firmly fitted into a stationary barrel, with the die at the end.This paper focuses on the operational practises used in the food processing business as well as their effects on various foods and their physiochemical properties. Extrusion processing is significant in food processing because it is used to make pasta, textured vegetable protein (TVP), ready-to-eat cereal snacks, baby meals, morning cereals, dietary fibre, pet foods, cereal-based modified starch, and conventional items. Extrusion cooking aids in the inactivation of enzymes and lowers microbial activity, Because of the high temperature, extrusions have an influence on the quality of food items. The most significant influence is on nutritional and physio-chemical characteristics. Because of the forward shifting of chemical structure, nature of protein, carbohydrates, and other elements. Extruded products are manufactured using many types of extruders. Key-words: Extrusion, minimal processing technology, extruded products, ready-to-eat cereal snacks, and HTST.

Remembering Babylon and Oscar and Lucinda, are the result of the Aboriginals’ movements, resistance and literature that appear after 1950s. Peter Carey’s Oscar and Lucinda and David Malouf’s Remembering Babylon, reflect the historically left issues of the early Aboriginals’ struggle when they came into contact with the European civilization. Both the texts, transcribe the images of early European’s settlement in Australia and their colonial blue print of dealing with native geography, nature and humans. The analysis of the texts concludes that among British’s well planned reasons of the colonization of Australia the economic factors were most dominating. The other dominating factors were the transplantation of the European settlers to the continent so that Australian land could be dominated by the white race which again had economic basis for the British. All these factors appear devastating for the Aboriginals’ centuries’ old existence in the continent. Keywords: History, aboriginals, settlement, colonial acts, policies

सारांश: “मूल्य शिक्षा” समाज की आधारशिला है। समाज में जिस प्रकार की शिक्षा की व्यवस्था होगी, उसी प्रकार के समाज का निर्माण होगा। अत: इस बात का सदैव प्रयत्न किया गया है कि शिक्षा के उद्देश्य समाज के उद्देश्यों के अनुकूल हो। इसी बात को ध्यान में रखकर विभिन्न देशों के विभिन्न विचारकों ने विभिन्न कालो में मूल्य शिक्षा के विभिन्न उद्देश्यों पर बल दिया है। जैसे: प्राचीन भारत में मूल्य शिक्षा के नैतिक, सामाजिक और बौद्धिक उद्देश्यों पर बल दिया है। प्राचीन रोम में शिक्षा का उद्देश्य राज्य का कल्याण बताया गया। मध्यकालीन युरोप में शिक्षा का उद्देश्य मृत्यु के बाद के जीवन की तयारी करना था। आधुनिक यूरोप शिक्षा के इस उद्देश्य में विश्वास नहीं करता था आदर्शवादी समाज में शिक्षा का मुख्य लक्ष्य है- सार्वभौमिक मूल्यों और आदर्शों की प्राप्ति। क्योंकि वे मूल्य और आदर्श सार्वभौमिक होते हैं, इसीलिये आदर्श और उन्नत समाज में शिक्षा के उद्देश्य व्यक्तिगत या निश्चित न होकर ‘सामान्य’ या ‘सार्वभौमिक’ होते हैं।
A double proximal gradient method with new linesearch for solving convex minimization problem with application to data classification
Authors: KESORNPROM Suparat , CHOLAMJİAK Prasit
Published: November 2022

In this paper, we propose a new proximal gradient method for a convex minimization problem in real Hilbert spaces. We suggest a new linesearch which does not require the condition of Lipschitz constant and improve conditions of inertial term which speed up performance of convergence. Moreover, we prove the weak convergence of the proposed method under some suitable conditions. The numerical implementations in data classification are reported to show its efficiency.
Error Management Training in Computer Programming Courses through a System of Tasks
Authors:   New Bulgarian University, Laskov Lasko
Published: November 2022

Errors are an indivisible part of computer programming, and as such their incorporation as a tool in teaching is a natural approach to stimulate learners to be an active side in the educational process. The application of errors as an instrument for illustration of knowledge, and the encouragement of students to learn from them, is the main approach of Error Management Training (EMT). EMT has been shown in number of psychological studies (Frese 1995; Keith & Frese 2008; Dyre et al. 2017) as an efficient teaching technique, even compared to the traditional error-avoidance methods. In this paper we present an application of EMT in computer programming courses, based on different approaches for error handling, which must be an important part of the curriculum.

The article presents the results of the approbation of the game “Logic Monsters”. The game is aimed at developing logic thinking and is applicable within various educational subjects. Several different implementations of the game’s basic idea have been proposed. Modifications encompass technological performance and cognitive goals directed at both directions of the task. The study covered a core group of students from four countries, aged 14 – 18. A survey, discussion and observation were conducted with them. Additionally, results from a group of teachers and a group of university students with whom discussions and observations were conducted are also presented. Conclusions are obtained and a classification of the types of “solutions” in the different game modifications is presented. A connection is made between the thinking style and the proposed solutions. Several authentic solutions are presented.

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo comparar o nível de satisfação com as vivências acadêmicas, nos aspectos pessoal, interpessoal, carreira, estudo e institucional, dos estudantes de graduação em Gerontologia segundo o seu desempenho acadêmico. Foram entrevistados estudantes regularmente matriculados no último ano do referido curso, divididos em dois grupos: (a) Grupo de estudantes com alto desempenho acadêmico e (b) Grupo de estudantes com baixo desempenho acadêmico. Os instrumentos para a coleta de dados foram: Questionário de Caracterização do Estudante, Critério de Classificação Econômica Brasil e Questionário de Vivências Acadêmicas – Versão Reduzida (QVA-R). Foram realizadas análises estatísticas descritivas e comparativas (Teste de Mann-Whitney). Os resultados mostraram que os estudantes com melhor desempenho acadêmico apresentaram níveis mais elevados de satisfação no domínio estudo (p=0,025) e nos escores totais de vivências acadêmicas (p=0,049) quando comparado aos estudantes com menor desempenho acadêmico.
"Sortear a las grandes intermediarias multinacionales es posible": entrevista a María Elena Bottazzi
Authors: Zelaya Iving , Ramos Muslera Esteban
Published: November 2022

María Elena Bottazzi (Génova, 1965) es una prestigiosa vacunóloga nacida en Italia y criada en Tegucigalpa (Honduras). Formada en Microbiología y Química Clínica en la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras (UNAH), obtuvo su Doctorado en Inmunología Molecular y Patología Experimental en la Universidad de Florida. Durante más de dos décadas ha trabajado en la aplicación del modelo de asociación para el desarrollo de vacunas y nuevas tecnologías para enfermedades tropicales y emergentes (SARS y MERS), orientando sus esfuerzos a la reducción de la brecha en el acceso a la salud, mediante el diseño y transferencia de tecnologías apropiadas y asequibles para los países del Sur Global. Junto al Dr. Peter Hotez, María Elena ha liderado el equipo científico de trabajo responsable de la creación de una tecnología que conllevó a la creación de Corbevax® en la India, una vacuna contra la COVID-19, libre de patentes y de bajo costo. Producto de un esfuerzo cooperativo, esta iniciativa para el desarrollo y distribución de la vacuna, le ha merecido la nominación al Premio Nobel de la Paz 2022. En esta entrevista platicamos con la Dra. Bottazzi acerca de la importancia de la ciencia abierta, de los procesos de investigación inter y transdisciplinares, de la necesidad de potenciar más y mejores procesos colaborativos ajenos a la lógica del mercado entre centros de investigación, universidades e investigadores, y, por supuesto, de las particularidades de la metodología seguida para el desarrollo de la vacuna y su relevancia para la construcción de paz en el mundo. Recuperar el compromiso con la salud, entendida como hilo conductor del bienestar humano, y, por ello, como un derecho universal y no un negocio, es urgente. Para hacerlo efectivo, garantizar el acceso universal y gratuito a los servicios de salud es imprescindible.

The next generation of pest control is here

The PHERA project aims to accelerate the global transition to sustainable agriculture by establishing insect pheromones as a viable alternative to insecticides in row crops. The project is scaling up a new, cost-effective method for mass-production of pheromones and is developing application systems for their use in pest control in row crops.
Is Majority Privilege Unjust?
Authors: Heath Joseph
Published: November 2022

One of the most important themes in recent thinking about racial justice in the United States has been a shift in emphasis away from the traditional issue of racial discrimination, toward an exploration of the various forms of privilege that dominant groups enjoy. Many of the privileges that whites have been encouraged to explore, however, do not stem directly from their racial identity, but rather from the fact that they belong the majority demographic group. Describing these benefits as a “privilege” is often intended to suggest that there is something objectionable or unjust about them. On closer examination, that claim turns out to be extremely controversial. This paper examines some of the major arguments that have been made by egalitarian philosophers on this question, before concluding with a few take-away lessons for issues of pedagogy and racial justice.
The Minority Retort: in Defense of Defection in Marginalized Groups
Authors: Kianpour Connor K.
Published: November 2022

The defection thesis holds that members of marginalized social groups are obligated not to express views important to others in the group that are regarded by the others as substantively wrong. In this essay, I evaluate arguments that seek to vindicate the defection thesis and conclude they all fail. Then, I argue that we have reason to believe sanctioning defectors in certain ways is wrongful and that the expression of their contentious ideas is good for members of marginalized groups. We are left to conclude both that members of marginalized groups have no obligation to suppress certain heterodox views and that it is likely wrong to sanction them for expressing these views even if it were wrong for them to do so.
We Have No Moral Duty to Eat Meat: A Reply to Nick Zangwill
Authors: Benatar David
Published: November 2022

Nick Zangwill has argued that we have a moral duty to eat meat. His argument applies to the flesh of those domesticated animals who (a) would not have existed had it not been for the practice of killing and eating them; and (b) have lives that contain more good than bad—and thus, on his view, have “lives worth living.” In my reply, I point to various features of his argument that are unclear. I seek to render explicit the various premises and inferences of his argument. I argue that there are problems with at least some of the premises. I also argue that his argument as a whole is liable to a reductio ad absurdum, which he considers, but to which he responds inadequately. I conclude that we ought to reject his argument.
A micro-computed tomography examination of primary double teeth from the Muslim necropolis of
Macael Viejo (13th-16th centuries; Almeria, Spain)

Published: November 2022

A child aged 5±1 years with abnormally developed mandibular incisors was discovered during the analysis of a skeletal assemblage from the late medieval/early modern necropolis of Macael Viejo (c. 13th–16th, Almería, Spain). The mandibular right deciduous incisors (81 and 82) were found to have developed a rare abnormality – a fused crown and single root. The identification, descriptions, and differential diagnoses of the anomaly were performed using morphological analyses and radiographic means. This article aims to present a case of fusion of two adjacent primary teeth displayed by a non-adult and analyse the applications and the potential of microcomputed tomography (Micro-CT) in the analysis of tooth crown and root canal morphology in dental anomalies.
