Peirce’s influence on Haack's reflections on the nature of logic
Authors: Nakano Anderson Luis
Published: June 2022

In her book Deviant Logic (1974), Susan Haack argued for a “pragmatist” conception of logic. This conception holds that, (i) logic is a theory on a par with other scientific theories, differing only from such theories by its degree of generality and (ii) the choice of a particular logic is to be made based on pragmatist principles, namely, economy, coherence, and simplicity. This view was contrasted, in this book, with an “absolutist” view of logic, according to which logical laws are necessary and immune to revision. Two decades later, however, Haack acknowledged, in the Introduction to an enlarged version of the same book, that she would not approach the question of the revisability of logic in the same way she did earlier. What was missing in her first book was a distinction between the question of the necessity of the laws of logic and the question of our fallibility in recognizing which are the true laws of logic and what structures are essential to representation. She also acknowledged that this change was mainly influenced by Peirce, with whose work she had “only the most superficial acquaintance twenty years ago”. In this context, this paper has two aims: (1) to show that, in Philosophy of Logics, we can find elements that reveal a tension between her early “pragmatic” views and her changing views on the nature of logic; (2) to present some hypotheses about the role Peirce may have had in this change.
Onkraj pristanka: važnost razmatranja šireg spektra govornih činova u kontekstu seksualnog odgoja
Authors:   University of Rijeka, Blečić Martina
Published: June 2022

In this paper, I start from the assumption that sex education, either as a separate subject or in the form of an interdisciplinary topic, is an indispensable part of the modern school curriculum. Although it has not yet entered the Croatian education system under this name, certain important topics related to human sexuality can be found in the school curriculum. However, what is missing now is the issue of intimate and sexual communication. By this I do not mean conversations about sexuality and sexual relations with parents or teachers, but those among partners who are considering entering an intimate relationship or have already done so. In recent years, the term “consent” has been widely discussed, but this speech act is only one form of sexual communication. In this paper, I consider other speech acts important in the intimate sphere, such as “invitations”, “gifts”, the use of “safe words” and “intimate overtures”, whose proper use and understanding are based on general criteria of appropriate and successful communication. By mastering these general principles and discussing specific communicational interactions between partners, young people can learn to communicate better in the intimate sphere, which would lead to the improvement of their private relationships.

Set of the new requirements for ensuring fire resistance of the building structures and means of their fire protection described in the article was developed considering the provisions of the Federal Law № 123-FZ of July 22, 2008 «Technical Regulations on Fire Safety Requirements» and Technical Regulations of the Eurasian Economic Union «On the Requirements for Means Ensuring Fire Safety and Fire Extinguishing» (TR EAEU 043/2017). As part of the studies, the need was substantiated in applying more detailed and differentiated requirements to the fire resistance limits of the load bearing, self-supporting and enclosing building structures, as well as to the individual parts of the structures and their junctions — light-transmitting elements, inter-floor belts, partition wallы, expansion joints, etc. The set of new requirements on ensuring fire resistance of the building structures includes the requirements for building structures fire resistance limits that are not specified in Table 21 of the Federal Law № 123-FZ of July 22, 2008 «Technical Regulations on Fire Safety Requirements», as well as unambiguous interpretations of the provisions of this Table in relation to both individual structures and the elements of these structures. The developed requirements also supplement and disclose the number of provisions of the Federal Law № 123-FZ of July 22, 2008, regarding the choice of the method of testing building structures for fire resistance, the design of fire walls, the limits of fire resistance of the junction points, etc. As part of the conducted studies, the new provisions were substantiated that regulate the use of fire protection means for the building structures based on the fire protection project and differentiated methods for assessing the fire resistance limits of steel structures with fire protection.
Shalat Tarawih Juziyyah: Komunitas Penghafal Al-Qur’an, Politik Identitas dan Otoritas Keagamaan Baru
Authors: Najiyya Waffada Arief
Published: June 2022

This article delves the reception of the Quran in Indonesia. This article, phenomenologically speaking, explores the tradition of tarawih juziyyah (the tarawih with completion of Quranic recitation) during Ramadan in Pondok Pesantren Madrasah Huffadz Krapyak Yogyakarta. This paper focuses on hierarchy of meanings emerging from the research subjects involved in the tradition. In addition to that, this research elaborates the transmission and transformation of the Quran taking place in ritual and non-ritual dimension of the tradition. Furthermore, it seeks out the hegemony and identity negotiation being hidden in the tarawih. Concluding the research, I argue that the tarawih juziyyah encapsulates two phenomena (prayer and khatm al-Qur’an) in one tradition and thus proves that the Quran holds sufficient power with which its memorizer gain, after sorts of politicization, highly prestigious status among muslims community.

Wang Shu. Studying behavior of consumers of catering services of Chinese enterprises (case of Tianjin)
Authors: Kmet' Elena Borisovna , Shu Wang
Published: June 2022

The article highlights the problems of the official restaurant market in the People’s Republic of China. With the high growth rates of the catering market in China (mainly in the large cities such as Shanghai, Beijing, Chongqing, Chengdu, Baoding, Linyi, Guangzhou), there is a decrease in demand for such services in the city of Tianjin. The rating of the popularity of restaurants in Tianjin in February 2022 is given. The problems that affect the decline in demand for catering services in the city are listed, experts’ studies are analyzed. The behavior of consumers of Chinese catering services is constantly evolving, it is influenced by a large number of factors controlled and not controlled by enterprises. The results of studying the behavior of the Chinese consumers make the basis for taking measures to influence the behavior, which will ensure the achievement of the intended goals at the lowest cost. The presented methodological approach to developing the proposals for managing the behavior of consumers of Chinese catering services includes the research process, structure of the questionnaire and the technology of processing the survey results in a static package. The research process includes four stages, the structure of the questionnaire presents questions that can describe three areas of the research: the preferred restaurants, factors influencing the consumer behavior at each stage of the purchasing decision, a portrait of respondents. The proposed technology of processing the survey results in statistical package includes descriptive (frequency) analysis and testing the hypotheses on the relationship between multiple and univariant variables by using Pearson’s chi-squared analysis. Verification of the proposed methodological approach was carried out on the basis of a survey of residents of Tianjin, China. The obtained results of testing the hypotheses confirm that the study should be conducted among the Chinese consumers of catering services in different cities of the PRC. The conclusions and study results are of practical interest for planning measures to influence the behavior of consumers of services of specific catering enterprises of the city.
Digital goodwill of enterprise: concept and possibility of assessment
Authors: Merzlikina Galina Stepanovna
Published: June 2022

The article deals with the problems of determining the concept of goodwill in terms of digital transformation. There has been proposed a new concept of digital goodwill and studied the problems of determining its content and evaluation. Digital transformation in modern conditions has been found to determine both the pace of economic development and efficient activities and the creation of a successful business reputation. A comparative analysis of the methods for evaluating the results of digitalization was carried out and it was revealed that the performance indicators are similar in many methods, but the number of indicators and the reliability of their assessment is questionable. The analysis of the definitions of the concept of goodwill showed that there is no single, generally accepted definition, goodwill improperly comprises only business reputation. It has been assumed that the concept of goodwill is broader, it comprises a set of characteristics of an organization (business reputation, product quality, technological culture, digital culture, a certain level of production organization, partnerships, market prospects). In the context of digitalization, new types of factors of production appear, which include digital capital; an analysis of the existing definitions of digital capital was carried out and its own was proposed: tangible and intangible identifiable assets and unidentifiable digital assets (digital goodwill and digital competencies of employees), which allow implementing digital technologies and contribute to increasing labor productivity. For the first time the concept of digital goodwill was proposed, under which is meant a good name of the company including the company’s reputation, prestige, customer relations, location, product range, and other things based on the active use of digital technologies in management and having a significant impact on its future income. Key factors of digitalization have been identified, which can serve as targets for the formation of digital goodwill. The problems of evaluating digital goodwill are considered: invisibility (absence in accounting objects), lack of a clear assessment methodology, unavailability of objective information for developing the cash flows.

Fluted pumpkin (Telfairia occidentalis Hook F.) seed germination proceeds once adequate temperature and moisture content have been reached and dormancy is broken. Seed priming is a technique in which seeds are hydrated (control hydration) and dried to their original moisture content while preventing radicle emergence. The study aims to investigate the consequence of osmo-priming on the germination parameters of fluted pumpkin (Telfairia occidentalis). Laboratory studies were carried out using 36 seeds of fluted pumpkin which was osmoprimed with NaCl (0.05, 0.1 and 1 millimolar), MgCl2 (0.05, 0.1 and 1 millimolar) and KCl (0.05, 0.1 and 1 millimolar). Data on germination percentage, growth parameters, and chlorophyll content showed a significant difference in germination percentages between osmoprimed seeds and control seeds. The time of germination in osmoprimed seeds was significantly reduced when compared with control. The germination rate index (64%) was different between controls and osmoprimed seeds with 0.05 millimolar KCl and 0.10 millimolar MgCl2 (). The growth parameters of seedlings 15 days after sowing showed significant increas in the number of leaves, number of root branches and chlorophyll content. Seed osmopriming may be a sustainable method to increase crop production in T.ccidentalis.

Intensive poultry farming creates the ideal environment for pathogen concentration and transmission. The presence of thousands of birds in an enclosed, warm, and dusty atmosphere is ideal for the transmission of infectious diseases from birds to humans. This study was conducted to assess the indoor and outdoor air quality of different poultry types in Edo State, Nigeria. The physicochemical conditions of the air around the poultry environments differed with location and poultry types. The concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2,), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrogen sulphide (H2S) as well as particulate matter (PM10) were all within recommended limits established by the World Health Organization. However, significant elevations in Ammonia (NH3) and sulphur dioxide (SO2) levels were observed in substandard poultry farms across the locations. Total bacterial counts ranged from 1.38CFU/m5 – 90.35 x105CFU/m3 irrespective of location and poultry type. Within the poultry types, bacteria count inside the poultry environment (3.11 x105CFU/m3) significantly differed from concentrations outside the poultry environment (22.58 x105CFU/m3, p<0.05). The Lowest microbial counts were obtained in the standard poultry farms. Molecular identifications revealed the presence of Escherichia coli, Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia, Bacillus subtilis as the bacterial isolates whereas Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus niger, Rhizopus stolonifer, Trichoderma polysporum, Aspergillus fumigatus were the fungal isolates. Staphylococcusaureus was the most predominant bacterial species (25%) while Aspergillus niger was the most predominant fungal species (30%).

Elements of Traditional Architecture in a Unique Documentary Fund: The Replies to The Romanian Language Museum’s 2nd Questionnaire. The House. The present paper’s aim is to demonstrate the scientific importance of the traditional architecture elements preserved in the documentary fund created during the inter-war period at the Romanian Language Museum; the fund is the result of the indirect linguistic survey led by Sextil Pușcariu. The survey included eight thematic questionnaires, the second of which – called The House – recorded the entire vocabulary and knowledge about the culture of building and housing. As the most complex, the 2nd Questionnaire. The House had 489 questions, from the general ones regarding social aspects of housing, to the most detailed ones about the choosing of the site and a minute description of each of the building stages and techniques used by the community. Tributary to „Wörter und Sachen” („Words and Things”) German methodology at the beginning of the 20th century, which claimed that the study of words – to establish their etymology and history – should be done in close connection to the study of artefacts and their cultural lives, Sextil Pușcariu encouraged the correspondents to the Museum’s surveys to illustrate their replies, offering, thus not only linguistic information, but also drawings, no matter how primitive. The 439 replies to the 2nd Questionnaire. The House coming from all the Romania’s regions after Great Union gathered graphical representations of the housing which were and are at the same time ethnographical proof from the beginning of the 20th century, unique through their genuine expressiveness. Thus, the manuscripts include over 2500 graphical representations among which numerous well-done drawings illustrating the most spread house type in the village, but also gates or wells. At the same time, certain drawings minutely show techniques of vernacular construction, systems used for the closing of doors and windows, or whole traditional households with all their elements, from the main buildings to the outbuildings, fences, gates, fountains, fodder storehouses or livestock. This paper demonstrates these unique documents’ importance to the understanding of the housing universe and rural architecture during the inter-war period, emphasizing their value as a useful resource for the contemporary specialists from various domains, from linguists – for whom the documentary fund was created – to anthropologists and ethnographers, but also to specialists from landscape architecture, creative industry or engineering focused on the knowledge of traditional building techniques.

Más allá de los contratistas. Los otros trabajadores de la agricultura empresarial pampeana a comienzos del siglo XXI
Authors: Neiman Guillermo
Published: June 2022

Este artículo tiene como propósito principal mostrar las características, condiciones y prácticas de trabajo de los asalariados contratados directamente por las empresas agrícolas en la región pampeana. Frente a una escasez relativa de estudios sobre el trabajo agrícola pampeano y la mayor atención prestada al aporte laboral de los llamados “contratistas de maquinarias”, se analiza la inserción laboral actual de los asalariados permanentes, temporarios e incluso eventuales de la producción agrícola empresarial pampeana. Su participación en la estructura del empleo agrícola, las tareas y funciones que desempeñan, las condiciones laborales bajo las que se ocupan y su composición interna justifican el interés particular para el estudio de este segmento de trabajadores, a la vez que los diferencian de otros ocupados en las mismas actividades. Se utilizan de manera complementaria censos agropecuarios (de 2002 y 2018), una encuesta a asalariados agrícolas (2014) y entrevistas a trabajadores (2015). El análisis se referencia en las provincias de Buenos Aires, Entre Ríos y Santa Fe para los cultivos de trigo, soja y maíz.
Tensiones local-globales en la actividad agropecuaria del sur de Córdoba. Formas de expresión de la dialéctica del territorio
Authors: Maldonado Gabriela Inés , Finola Ricardo Alfio
Published: June 2022

La región pampeana argentina se ha configurado como región agroexportadora hace más de un siglo y medio. Desde entonces ha incorporado técnicas, objetos y acciones que conformaron funcionalmente sus características económicas actuales. En el marco de investigaciones previas vinculadas al análisis de los procesos territoriales asociados a la modernización agropecuaria en su período actual, hemos reconocido procesos de tensión local-global que se expresan a través de actores insertos en la actividad agropecuaria desde tiempos pretéritos. En este sentido, el objetivo de este artículo es indagar en torno a algunas situaciones de tensión local-global en la actividad agropecuaria del sur de la provincia de Córdoba. La metodología implementada es procesual y cualitativa, sustentada en entrevistas semiestructuradas realizadas a actores vinculados a la actividad agropecuaria. Nos focalizaremos en tres tipos de tensiones local-globales, expresadas por contratistas de servicios, empresas agro-comerciales y cooperativas agrícolas. Observamos que cada actor estudiado debe decodificar los datos del período, tendientes a la incorporación creciente de ciencia, técnicas e información, en un marco de aceleración económica promovida por la financierización, mientras renueva las estrategias vinculadas al fortalecimiento de los lazos territoriales atravesados por un trato cotidiano y personal. Concluimos que la capacidad de adaptación a estos cambios define las características de estos actores, quienes deben transformar los servicios que ofrecen subordinados a una lógica de escala global de la cual, en cierto modo y bajo importantes restricciones, son articuladores territoriales.

A randomized double-blinded controlled trial on the effects of photobiomodulation therapy in dogs with osteoarthritis
Authors: Alves João C. , Santos Ana , Jorge Patrícia , Carreira L. Miguel
Published: June 2022

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate photobiomodulation therapy in dogs with bilateral hip osteoarthritis.

ANIMALS

20 dogs.

PROCEDURES

Forty joints were assigned to a control group (CG; n = 20) or treatment group (photobiomodulation therapy [PBMT]; 20). CG received a 21-day course of meloxicam, and PBMT received treatment with a Class IV therapeutic laser over 3 weeks. Joint range of motion, thigh girth, the Canine Brief Pain Inventory (divided into pain interference score [PIS] and pain severity score [PSS]), Hudson Visual Analogue Scale, Liverpool Osteoarthritis in Dogs, and Canine Orthopedic Index (COI; divided into function, gait, stiffness, and quality of life) were evaluated before treatment, +8, +15, +30, +60, and +90 days after initial treatment. Results were analyzed with repeated measures ANOVA or Wilcoxon signed ranks test, P < 0.05. Kaplan-Meier estimators were compared with the Breslow test.

RESULTS

Patients had a mean age of 8.3 ± 1.9 years and body weight of 65.7 ± 12.1lb. Osteoarthritis was classified as moderate (n = 26) and severe (14). No differences were found at time 0. Better results were observed in PBMT at +8 days (P = 0.01 for PSS, P = 0.04 for function and COI), +15 days (P = 0.01 for PSS and function, P = 0.02 for PIS and function, P = 0.03 for COI and P = 0.04 for Liverpool Osteoarthritis in Dogs [LOAD]) and +30 days (P = 0.01 for function and gait, P = 0.02 for COI, and P = 0.04 for PIS, PSS, and LOAD). Joint range of motion improved in PBMT from +15 to 90 days. Kaplan-Meier estimators showed that PBMT produced longer periods with better results.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

PBMT reduced pain levels and improved clinical findings in dogs with hip osteoarthritis.
Biomechanical evaluation of locking versus nonlocking 2.0-mm malleable L-miniplate fixation of simulated caudal mandibular fractures in cats
Authors: Kot Ching Ching Shirley , Verstraete Frank J. M. , Garcia Tanya C. , Stover Susan M. , Arzi Boaz
Published: June 2022

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the biomechanical properties of the mandibles of cats with experimentally created osteotomies simulating oblique ramus fractures, which were stabilized with malleable L-miniplates with either locking screws [locking construct (LC)] or nonlocking screws [nonlocking construct (NLC)], compared with those for intact mandibles.

SAMPLES

20 mandibles from 10 adult cat cadavers.

PROCEDURES

A block study design was adopted to allocate the mandibles of each cadaver to 2 of the 3 test groups (LC, NLC, or intact mandible). Mandibles within each cadaver were allocated systematically to a test group. For mandibles assigned to an LC and an NLC, a complete oblique osteotomy was performed from the mid rostral aspect of the ramus in a caudoventral direction. All mandibles were loaded in a single-load-to-failure test through cantilever bending. Load and actuator displacement were recorded simultaneously. Mode of failure and radiographic evidence of damage to tooth roots and the mandibular canal were evaluated. Biomechanical properties were compared among the groups.

RESULTS

No iatrogenic tooth root damage was evident, but all mandibles with an LC and an NLC had evidence of screw invasion into the mandibular canal. Plated mandibles had significantly less stiffness and bending moment than intact mandibles. Stiffness was not significantly different between the LC and the NLC; the NLC had a greater bending moment at failure than the LC. The pre-yield stiffness of plated mandibles decreased when the number of screw holes overlapping the mandibular canal increased.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

The use of a malleable L-miniplate in a caudal mandibular fracture model is feasible. Both the LC and the NLC were inferior mechanically to intact mandibles. Type of construct used did not affect the construct stiffness significantly in tested mandibles.
Local Leader and the Labour Law Position in the Context of the Smart City Concept through the Optics of the EU
Authors: Žofčinová Vladimíra , Čajková Andrea , Král Rastislav
Published: June 2022

The article discusses the implementation of the global concepts of smart city or smart municipality at the local level, focusing on the importance of mayor as a leader and his competencies in this context. The status of elected representatives of self-government in the branch of labour law is legislatively only marginally regulated, with insufficient terminological and functional interconnection between special legislation and labour law. The aim of the authors is to point out the relationship between the current legislation on prelegal relations between the mayor and his leadership duties and powers and to identify barriers in the implementation of the concept of smart cities in the Slovak Republic.

The objective of the scientific study is determined based directly on current needs and emerging practical issues. Understanding and applying these correctly has a fundamental impact on the possibilities of rules in local government. Methodologically, our research relies on the basic methods of scientific abstraction in the context of the analysis of de lege lata legislation with a thorough application of the methods of legal logic. The authors draw attention to the partial questions of the labour status and educational census of the Mayor of the Municipality in the context of smart city concept and propose solutions.

Authors: Handzhiyski Nikolay , Somova Elena
Published: June 2022

The article describes a string recognition approach, engraved in the parsers generated by Tunnel Grammar Studio that use the tunnel parsing algorithm, of how a lexer and a parser can operate on the input during its recognition. Proposed is an addition of the augmented Backus-Naur form syntax that enables the formal language to be expressed with a parser grammar and optionally with an additional lexer grammar. The tokens outputted from the lexer are matched to the phrases in the parser grammar by their name and optionally by their lexeme, case sensitively or insensitively.
A Rule-Generation Model for Class Imbalances to Detect Student Entrepreneurship Based on the Theory of Planned Behavior
Authors: Rijati Nova , Purwitasar Diana , Sumpeno Surya , Purnomo Mauridhi Hery
Published: June 2022

The ability to identify the entrepreneurial potential of students enables higher education institutions to contribute to the economic and social development of a country. Current research trends regarding the detection of student entrepreneurial potential have the greatest challenge in the unequal ratio of datasets. This study proposes a rule-generation model in an imbalanced situation to classify student entrepreneurship based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). The result is a ruleset that is used for the early detection of student entrepreneurial potential. The proposed method consists of three main stages, namely preprocessing data to classify data based on TPB variables, generating a dataset by clustering and selecting attributes by sampling to balance the data, and finally generating a ruleset. Furthermore, the results of the detecting ruleset have been evaluated with actual data from the student tracer study as ground truth. The evaluation results show high accuracy so that the ruleset can be applied to the higher education environment in the future.
Investment Activities of the Polish YMCA in the Interwar Period
Authors: Potrzuski Kamil , Włodarczyk Arkadiusz
Published: June 2022

Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) appeared in Poland in 1918. Three years later, the American branch of the organization ceased its activity in this country. In its place the Christian Young People Association ‘Polska YMCA’ (The Polish YMCA) was established. This organization, although maintained contact with the centers of organizations in other countries, remained fully independent. The Polish YMCA was most active in large cities and centers of particular symbolic and economic importance for the Second Republic of Poland – Warsaw, Cracow, Łódź and Gdynia. The Polish YMCA was one of the most active and efficient social organizations dealing with physical education and sport in interwar Poland. It gained considerable popularity and was one of the most important institutions offering extracurricular activities for young people. One of the reasons for its success was its excellent material base. The Polish YMCA successfully built three representative buildings in the center of Cracow, Warsaw and Łódź in the interwar period. Their construction was partially financed by American funds. There were sports equipment, rare in interwar Poland, such as indoor swimming pools, sports halls and indoor tennis courts located in there. The Polish YMCA also developed the infrastructure of summer camps.

Analysed in detail, the shortcomings are divided into three groups: (1) ‘dead souls’, i.e. an overestimation of the number of vehicles which have not been on the road for a long time but remain on the register; (2) ‘cars with a grid’ (cars registered as trucks in which the cargo part is separated from passenger seats by a metal grid), i.e. an underestimation of the number of passenger cars and overestimation of the number of trucks related to the mass phenomenon of registering passenger cars as large goods vehicles (LGV-approved cars); and (3) company cars, i.e. an overestimation of the number of vehicles in cities where leasing companies and large enterprises owning those cars have their headquarters. The article determines the scale of car ownership overestimation in Poland and the areas where this overestimation is the highest, using districts (PL: powiaty) as basic spatial units. We conclude that the present motorisation statistics do not fully reflect the real geography of car ownership in Poland.
The Contribution of A. K. Oppenheim to Explaining the Nature of the Initiation of Gaseous Detonation in Tubes

Published: June 2022

This paper analyzes A.K. Oppenheim’s original works on the transition of deflagration to detonation and reviews them from the perspective of new numerical and experimental results recently obtained on such phenomena. Particular attention is focused on processes happening in the boundary layer of the tube walls ahead of the accelerating flame. The results of the theoretical analyses of temperature variations inside developing boundary layer are presented and compared to the temperature variation in a free stream away from the boundary layer. Analyses of temperature increase in such layers clearly indicate that the self-ignition of the mixture happens in the boundary layer ahead of the propagating flame front. New experimental results obtained recently by a research group from the A. V. Luikov Heat and Mass Transfer Institute in Minsk, Belarus, combined with previously conducted theoretical analyses and numerical simulations, show clearly and unambiguously that the origin of the “explosion in the explosion”, postulated by A. K. Oppenheim in 1966, is always responsible for the Deflagration-Detonation Transition (DDT) in gases and is located in the boundary layer ahead of the accelerating flame front.

This article describes the development of a flight simulator module within the ADEMAO aircraft design framework to investigate the effects of novel airframe and propulsion technologies on new generations of aircraft. Methods used to develop and integrate the fight simulator into the overall design framework are described. The simulator is validated based on existing data from the Convair CV-880M and is then used to analyze an example case of a conceptual medium-range aircraft with advanced airframe technologies designed in the Sustainable and Energy-Efficient Aviation research cluster at the Institute of Aircraft Design and Lightweight Structures at the Technische Universität Braunschweig. Results show the deficiencies of the medium-range aircraft in short-period pitch and Dutch roll performance, and recommendations for modifications to the conceptual medium-range aircraft are drafted.
Deconstructing the linguistic features of hybrid text-based online social network communication among Algerian Facebook users: A case study
Authors: Boudjemaa Habib , Mouhadjer Noureddine
Published: June 2022

This paper aims at dissecting the foremost innovative linguistic features that characterize the hybrid text-based online social network communication of some Algerian Facebook users. It also seeks to emphasize the role of computer-mediated communication, mainly social networking sites (SNSs), in the modernization of stigmatized informal language varieties as in the case of Algerian Dialectal Arabic (ADA). To achieve this, a qualitative research approach, in which both the researcher’s long-term participant observation and a descriptive content analysis of a corpus of 30 hybrid text-based Facebook posts, is adopted for investigation. Moreover, the relevant data was collected from a virtual Facebook group community that was chiefly created by some younger Algerian EFL students at Ibn Khaldoun University of Tiaret in Algeria in order to share information related to their studies. Interestingly, the findings of our case study revealed that the ADA is linguistically accommodated to some nonstandard and unconventional spellings of hybrid informal writing such as transliteration in its two forms, the use of distinctive signs such as numbers for some letters, the partial and/or full removal of vowel sounds for shortenings, the occurrence of written code switching/mixing and loanwords, and deficiency in using punctuation marks. Ultimately, the research ends with some recommendations for future research in the domain of text-based online communication with reference to the sociolinguistic situation in Algeria.

The aim of the work was to conduct a comparative assessment of the quality of cottage cheese made from the milk of cows of two different breeds with the same feeding and maintenance. The milk of the Simmental breed cows had lower acidity, higher fat content, but lower protein content and skimmed milk residue than the milk of the red-mottled breed. The yield of cottage cheese when using the milk of the Simmental breed of cows was 10% higher than from the milk of the red-mottled breed. Cottage cheese made from red-mottled milk was fatter, less moist, but more acidic than cottage cheese made from simmental milk. Cottage cheese from the milk of the Sim-mental breed of cows had the most homogeneous smearing fatty consistency, without noticeable particles of milk protein. It resembled very thick sour cream. Cottage cheese made from red-mottled milk had a crumbly consistency with tangible particles of milk protein. The shelf life of cottage cheese from milk of both breeds was 9 days.
