Published: January 2025

Directly recycled AA6061, valued for its energy-efficient production and reduced environmental impact compared to primary aluminium, exhibits unique mechanical properties due to microstructural changes during recycling. Behavioural analysis under various loading conditions, including tensile and impact tests, reveals mild ductility and anisotropic deformation patterns such as petal formation, plugging, and fragmentation. This study investigates the fracture and perforation behaviour of AA6061 plates under high-velocity impacts using a numerical model based on the Johnson-Cook material and failure models. Simulations of Taylor cylinder impact tests, conducted at velocities ranging from 280 m/s to 370 m/s, show strong agreement with experimental data, validating the Simplified Johnson-Cook model’s effectiveness in predicting fracture behaviour under impact loading. Building on these results, the study explores the Johnson-Cook Failure Model in perforation tests with severely fractured specimens. Simulations accurately predict perforation behaviour at lower impact velocities and smaller bullet diameters, particularly in cases of limited deformation. However, at higher velocities and larger bullet diameters, prediction accuracy decreases due to complex fracture patterns and asymmetric deformations. The study concludes that while the current failure model provides a foundational understanding of fracture and perforation behaviour in recycled AA6061, further refinements are necessary. Enhancing the failure model, specifically for recycled aluminium, could improve its predictive accuracy across a broader range of impact scenarios, addressing the limitations observed in cases of severe deformation and complex fracture mechanisms.

Published: January 2025

Modern civilisation is increasingly prioritising sustainability to address environmental challenges like resource depletion and waste accumulation. Repurposing discarded materials such as vehicle tires and seashells into sustainable materials is vital for mitigating these issues. However, the mechanical properties of concrete may be weakened by including scraps of rubber. Similar problems related to the disposal of seashell waste include soil solidification and illegal dumping. This study looks at the possibility of using rubber powder (1%, 5%, 10%, and 15%) and clamshell powder (5%), respectively, as partial substitutes for sand and cement. Objectives include evaluating the physical and mechanical properties of mortar and determining the optimal percentage of rubber powder when combined with clamshell powder. After creating the mortar mixes, tests were conducted to determine flexural strength, density, and compression after 7, 14, and 28 days of curing. According to the results, compression strength decreases with increasing rubber powder percentages. 15% showed the lowest compression strength (20.163 MPa) and 1% the greatest (28.197 MPa). Furthermore, flexural testing showed that a 1% rubber powder combined with clamshell powder was best. By recycling waste materials, using 1% rubber powder and 5% clamshell powder in mortar can help solve environment challenges. However, it’s crucial to properly balance these amounts to ensure the strength of the mortar. Although this strategy contributes significantly to sustainability, it is not a comprehensive solution to the larger environmental problems; it is only one aspect of the picture. It can be concluded that the optimum percentage of rubber that can be used with 5% clam shell powder is 1%.
Das Mesolithikum im westlichen Niedersachsen
Authors: Mahlstedt Svea
Published: January 2025

Das bisher kaum erforschte Mesolithikum im westlichen Niedersachsen wird in vier regionalen Stichproben von jeweils ca. 400 km² in Ostfriesland, auf der Wildeshauser Geest, im Hasetal bei Haselünne und rund um den
Dümmer untersucht. Auswahlkriterien sind Fundreichtum und unterschiedliche landschaftliche Gegebenheiten. Die Funde stammen fast ausschließlich von Oberflächenfundplätzen und viele der untersuchten Siedlungsplätze
wurden offenbar über das Mesolithikum hinaus genutzt, so dass eine quellenkritische Betrachtung unabdingbar ist. Das Fundmaterial besteht ausschließlich aus geschlagenen Feuersteinartefakten, die mithilfe verschiedener
Verfahren der vergleichenden Statistik umfassend dargestellt werden. Besonders die Mikrolithen als Leitform des Mesolithikums eignen sich gut für eine überregionale Einordnung der mesolithischen Sachkultur. Anhand von
multivariaten Analysen der Fundkombinationen werden chronologische und funktionale Unterschiede der mesolithischen Siedlungsplätze herausgearbeitet. Die Datierung durch die Mikrolithkombination zeigt eine nachvollziehbare Entwicklung
in der Landschaftsnutzung: von hohen, trockenen und exponierten Orten in feuchtere, niedrigere und geschütztere Lagen. Die Auswertung der Landschaftsparameter hinsichtlich einer unterschiedlichen Funktionalität der Fundplätze führt
zu heterogeneren Ergebnissen: In den vier Stichprobenregionen passten die mesolithischen Jäger und Sammler ihr Siedlungsverhalten jeweils den unterschiedlichen Gegebenheiten an.
Auch mögliche Hintergründe für das herausgearbeitete Siedlungsverhalten der mesolithischen Jäger und Sammler werden erörtert und modellhaft ökonomische Beweggründe, Ideen zur Mobilität und Orientierung und zur
Tradierung von Siedlungsverhalten diskutiert. Insgesamt zeigt die Einordnung der mesolithischen Sachkultur im Arbeitsgebiet in den europäischen Kontext, dass sich diese Region deutlicher als bisher angenommen vom
Gebiet des nordischen Mesolithikums in Schleswig-Holstein und Skandinavien abhebt.

Eyes on Customary Forests Transition of Traditional Forests into Production Forests
Authors: Wahyu RAMADAI Eko , SALMA Qorin Anida , Fitria CAHYANI Adinda Agis
Published: January 2025

Forests as a medium for balancing nature are something whose importance cannot be ignored in human life and civilization. Forests must be managed, protected, and utilized sustainably for the community's welfare, both current and future generations. The problem of customary forests in Indonesia tends to be paradoxical; constitutionally, it has been regulated so that matters are aimed at providing justice, certainty and benefits for indigenous peoples and customary forests. However, Indonesia is known as "The Scramble For Land Rights," where there is a gap between companies and customary law communities in terms of getting opportunities for land tenure rights. This research uses a normative method with a statutory approach, which is expected to answer the problem of how customary forests become production forests in Indonesia and how customary forests become production forests in Indonesia are transitioned from the perspective of justice, certainty and benefit. The current problem is related to permits given unilaterally by indigenous people to companies. Apart from that, the issue of legal action for permit violations is currently not being carried out properly, so many customary forests are still being "grabbed" by companies and not heeding legal regulations by statutory regulations. Constitutionally, the status of customary law is guaranteed. However, law enforcement in the field and supervision from related parties are minimal, causing many problems in transitioning customary forests to production forests.

Authors: Ani Kelechi Johnmary
Published: January 2025

The quest for peace by men has remained a major existential need of man. People go to different places including the church in the search for peace. This study focuses on Christo-peace. Christo-peace is a form of peace that emanates from the communion of man with Christ as well as a strong belief in the teachings of Christ as well as the church. The study is a qualitative research that was developed from the random selection of scriptural quotations from biblical texts. It revealed that Christo-peace is gotten through prayers and ecclesia teachings of the church. It also found that this form of peace has a strong socio-psychological and spiritual impact on the lives of men. The study concluded that Christo-peace as found in the scripture has direct implications on the physical and mental peace of the Nigerian Christians. It recommends the advancement of peace-based preaching, increased prayers for the advancement of prophetic gifts that are needed for Christian understanding of time and the management of the culture of corruption in the Nigerian Christian churches as paths to Christo-peace by Christians, bearing in mind that there are multiple crises undermining the reality of peace on earth.

Residual Energy and Broken Symmetry in Reduced Magnetohydrodynamics
Authors: Dorfman S. , Abler M. , Boldyrev S. , Chen C. H. K. , Greess S.
Published: January 2025

Alfvénic interactions that transfer energy from large to small spatial scales lie at the heart of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. An important feature of the turbulence is the generation of negative residual energy—excess energy in magnetic fluctuations compared to velocity fluctuations. By contrast, an MHD Alfvén wave has equal amounts of energy in fluctuations of each type. Alfvénic quasi-modes that do not satisfy the Alfvén wave dispersion relation and exist only in the presence of a nonlinear term can contain either positive or negative residual energy, but until now, an intuitive physical explanation for why negative residual energy is preferred has remained elusive. This paper shows that the equations of reduced MHD are symmetric in that they have no intrinsic preference for one sign of the residual energy over the other. An initial state that is not an exact solution to the equations can break this symmetry in a way that leads to net-negative residual energy generation. Such a state leads to a solution with three distinct parts: nonresonant Alfvénic quasi-modes, normal modes produced to satisfy initial conditions, and resonant normal modes that grow in time. The latter two parts strongly depend on initial conditions; the resulting symmetry breaking leads to net-negative residual energy both in Alfvénic quasi-modes and ω = k
∥
V
A = 0 modes. These modes have net-positive residual energy in the equivalent boundary value problem, suggesting that the initial value setup is a better match for solar wind turbulence.

Published: January 2025

Anamorphic chaetosphaeriaceous fungi exhibit high morphological variability and are distributed worldwide across terrestrial and aquatic habitats. During an ongoing taxonomic study of microfungi, two intriguing chaetosphaeriaceous hyphomycetes were collected from dead wood and dead bamboo stems in China and Thailand. A polyphasic approach, combining morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analysis of LSU and ITS sequence data, revealed that these fungi represent two new genera within Chaetosphaeriaceae. Pseudolomaantha and Submultiguttulispora are proposed for these new genera, and they exhibit non-phialidic and phialidic asexual morphs, respectively. Pseudolomaantha thailandicagen. et sp. nov. is characterized by a sporidesmium-like asexual morph with macronematous, mononematous conidiophores; monoblastic conidiogenous cells, and pyriform to obclavate, rostrate conidia bearing an apical appendage. Submultiguttulispora multiseptatagen. et sp. nov. is distinguished by macronematous, mononematous conidiophores, mono- to polyphialidic conidiogenous cells, and fusiform or ellipsoidal-fusiform, pale brown to olive green to brown conidia with filiform, hyaline appendages at both ends. Detailed descriptions, illustrations, and notes on the new collections are provided, along with a key to non-phialidic hyphomycetous genera in Chaetosphaeriaceae.
Giornalismo al femminile nel Quarantotto francese e italiano
Authors: Orazi Stefano
Published: January 2025

Con il presente contributo l’autore intende soffermarsi in primo luogo sull’adesione della stampa femminile francese alla rivoluzione esplosa nel febbraio 1848 a Parigi prendendo in considerazione le fonti giornalistiche contemporanee. In quella tempestosa fase vi fu anche una più larga e attiva partecipazione del mondo femminile, che riuscì a dar vita a svariate associazioni nel tentativo di favorire un profondo e razionale dibattito sul piano dei diritti politici e sociali delle donne. Sempre prediligendo come oggetto di indagine primaria le fonti giornalistiche coeve, sono qui inoltre analizzati i riflessi che l’evento storico francese ebbe nella stampa femminile italiana, all’epoca germogliata nei suoi pur frammentati Stati.
L’émancipation des femmes dans la presse féminine du Royaume de Savoie avant l’Unité
Authors: Fournier-Finocchiaro Laura
Published: January 2025

Cet article analyse les prises de position autour de l’émancipation des femmes exprimées dans le Royaume de Savoie au cours des années 1850, dans une période historique marquée par un mouvement de repli sur l’univers domestique imposé aux femmes après les soulèvements révolutionnaires et la guerre de 1848-1849, mais aussi par la « préparation patriotique » à l’unification italienne. L’examen en particulier de deux titres de presse méconnus, les hebdomadaires Eva redenta, publié à Turin en 1855 et La Donna, publié à Gênes entre 1855 et 1858, a mis en lumière la prédominance d’une ligne idéologique traditionnaliste concernant le rôle et la place des femmes dans la société, mais également des demandes de participation à la construction de la nation italienne et à l’élévation morale des Italiennes et des Italiens qui contrastent avec le rejet en bloc de « l’émancipation » féminine. La présence dans les revues de débats animés entre des rédactrices italiennes et des penseuses étrangères, notamment la française Jenny d’Héricourt, nous permet de formuler l’hypothèse que le patriotisme des Italiennes ainsi que leur survalorisation de la maternité pourraient expliquer leur résistance face aux idées défendues par des « émancipationnistes » étrangères.

Sustainability Reporting
Authors: Esterhuyse Leana , du Toit Elda
Published: January 2025

Previous research indicates that corporate communications may employ rhetorical strategies to manage readers' impressions. Reporting about social aspects of sustainability has received less attention. We analysed the rhetorical strategies in human rights disclosures from 154 international companies and compared them to a normative base of full annual financial reports. The most prevalent rhetorical strategy was Certainty, and the least used was Realism. Additionally, we observed higher usage of words from the Praise and Satisfaction dictionaries in the human rights disclosures than the normative base. Our study highlights the importance of stakeholders being vigilant against the potential for impression management when reading human rights disclosures. Conversely, companies may suffer financial losses when they lose the trust of customers and shareholders when their human rights practices are not aligned with their reporting. Our findings also have implications for the practice of business writing and communication.

This study aims to synthesise and extend the current understanding of the literature related to small and medium enterprises ownership structure by identifying the key aspects investigated in the literature and possible directions for future research. The investigation also showed that pecking order theory complemented with other theoretical lenses could provide a better explanation of the complex SMEs' organizational behaviour than the common theoretical lenses that are applied in the literature, as SMEs are significantly different compared to large firms in terms of scale, resource availability and financial preferences. Combining systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis provides a panorama of the most established areas of research concerning the ownership structure of SMEs, helping newcomers to focus on specific themes and hence allowing them to adopt or connect to those suggested topics.

Mountain tourism is an alternative, emerging type of tourism occurring in geographically defined areas characterized by rich biodiversity, challenging accessibility and high sensitivity, necessitating third-party involvement. Despite research on various special interest tourism types, the involvement of tour operators' have often been underexplored. In light of this gap, and as highlighted by Sri Lanka’s tourism strategic report for 2025, there is lack of investigation into alternative, niche, and emerging tourism markets. Hence, the objectives of the study were to identify the push and pull antecedents of sustainable mountain tourism in Sri Lanka and to explore the role of tour operators in the development of sustainable mountain tourism in Sri Lanka. The study adopted a qualitative approach, collecting data through purposive sampling from fifteen tour operators via semi-structured interviews. Findings revealed that pull antecedents mainly arose as unique selling propositions, and destination’s diversity and push antecedents as personal and external factors. The role of tour operators found that tour operators con-tribute to economic sustainability through marketing, promotion, and new product development, while better planning, monitoring indicated their role towards environmental sustainability. Finally, it was revealed that tour operators play a major role in networking towards social sustainability. Nevertheless, future researchers could examine private-public partnerships and collaborations and combined tourism products to further develop mountain tourism’s potential, which has not been ad-dressed yet.
