Authors: Armstrong M. , Sivasubramanian M. , Selvapalam N. , Jha Kanhaiya Kumar
Published: July 2023

In our modern era of technological advancements, the widespread use of high-powered electronic and electrical devices has resulted in the release of excessive heat, posing a threat to the environment. To address this issue, heat pipes have emerged as a promising solution for effective heat removal. As researchers strive to improve their performance, various approaches have been explored. This study took a unique approach by investigating the performance of miniature cylindrical copper sintered heat pipes using different molar concentrations (0.03 M, 0.06 M, and 0.09 M) of Ag-doped GO hybrid nanofluids, with a weight percentage of 0.05 wt.% as the working fluid. The study carefully assessed the heat transport capabilities of these nanofluids within the heat pipe, considering a range of heat inputs (10-130 W) in the evaporator section and different mass flow rates (8.33 g/s, 16.66 g/s, and 25 g/s) of the cooling fluid in the condenser section. The findings revealed that the 0.09-M Ag-GO nanofluid demonstrated superior performance, with a remarkable 50.48% reduction in thermal resistance and a significant 27.52% improvement in wall temperature distribution, particularly at a mass flow rate of 16.66 g/s and a heat input of 100 W. It reveals that altering the molarity of nanoparticles in hybrid nanofluids has the potential to enhance the heat transport abilities of heat pipes.

Abstract—In the present pandemic condition, challenge as a teacher, is not only to learn new tools for online teaching but also conducting online assessment and to assure that the assessment curves are not flat but shall be a natural response which has bell shaped distribution. We all know the impact of flat evaluation is that the industry will lose trust on the quality of graduate and their knowledge based on marks/grades. This will put the quality of technical education under doubt when high scorers perform poorly in the recruitment process (including job interviews) where students are not even able to pass the basic aptitude clearance test. Online education may not lack the quality and integrity of faceto- face instruction, but it is easy to cheat in online assessment. So, there is a need to develop some innovative and best practices which will help the sincere students to have academic edge over the insincere students and the students' marks or grades shall be the replica of their intellectual ability. It will enable the deserving students to get their due credits and not bring all at the same level. Current problem of flat evaluation which has become more significant in the current pandemic can be overcome. This is mainly because of online examinations in the home environment. This paper suggests and tests some techniques to remove flatness in evaluation and make it more authentic such as, use of uniqueness and uncertainty in question paper and assessment, conducting multiple activities as part of evaluation, giving weightage to various activities as per the efforts, making assessment a multilevel activity etc. The results show the evaluation curves which were flat when no innovative assessment technique was used for assessment became bell shaped when innovative assessment technique was used. Moreover, it was found to be in alignment with testing based on classroom testing under a proctored environment. Keywords—Innovation, Evaluation, Assessment, Normal distribution

Abstract— As the pace of technology development and its applications for industry increases, the knowledge gap between academic curriculum and industry-readiness of technical school graduates also increases. Since a professor can only focus on a limited number of topics in a classroom environment, peer learning can significantly increase the knowledge covered. We have identified several shortcomings in the traditional paradigm of teaching methodology and propose in this paper a cyclical autonomous learning-based methodology that aims to overcome these shortcomings. Autonomous learning in the context of our research refers to a situation where learners take charge of their learning and are responsible for all the decision-making for the progression of the skill they want to acquire. The proposed methodology is a feedback-based student-industry led model that reviews and rectifies itself based on the present needs and requirements. This study explores this methodology which identifies the vital points required to develop student-based technical clubs and leveraging industry-based student initiatives to boost autonomous learning, which will help its members prepare for their careers and gain industryrelevant knowledge.Upon implementing the same vital points, we found a statistically significant increase of 800% in the gained industry-relevant knowledge of the club members, characterized by the dramatic increase in scholarships given by industry leaders, achieved by the club members. The study also found that the proposed methodology is also more effective and cogent than the traditional methods in engaging the students, which was clearly evinced by an 88.89% increase in average attendance. We also found a marked increase in overall ratings, from 8.6 to 9.2, using the proposed methodology. The study thus offers promising results in decreasing the knowledge gap, based on which institutions may be exhorted to adopt the proposed methodology for preparing industry-ready graduates.

Abstract : Quality Circle is one of the platform where group of people in the organization solves the problem exist in their workplace. This activity improves teamwork, creative ability within the employees of the organization along with the growth of the organization. This paper represents a case study on transformation from manual token generation to automatic token generation system for library to collect fine and photocopy fees. Library is a core component of any educational institution. Libraries give people the opportunity to find jobs, explore research, experience new ideas, get lost in wonderful stories, while at the same time providing a sense of place for gathering. It’s never just a random collection of books. In our institute’s central library, we were working with a traditional manual method of issuing token for photocopying facility and book fine collection. The current method uses paper and pen mode for the token generation. It consumes a lot of time to tally the accounts and generate report. We have taken this problem into consideration to make the system fully automatic by building a web application. The proposed system consists admin-user modules comprising mainly two modules for xerox utility and fine collection. The system also keeps the track of daily transactions. Additionally, the system has helped to reduce the paper work with human efforts and time, generating the reports on a click with easy tally of accounts.

THE VALUE OF A NEIGHBOUR’S VIEW
Authors: Henk Delport
Published: July 2023

The recent judgment of the Supreme Court of Appeal in Paola v Jeeva NO (2004 1 SA 396 (SCA)) has caused quite a stir in the property industry. The court ruled that in terms of section 7(1)(b)(ii)(aa)(ccc) of the National Building Regulations and Building Standards Act 103 of 1977 a local authority cannot approve a building plan if the proposed building would obstruct the view from an adjoining property to such an extent that the obstruction would in fact derogate from the market value of the latter property. Some property practitioners have interpreted the judgment to mean that a municipality is now prohibited from approving the building plan relating to the construction of any building if the proposed development would impair the view from an adjoining property. Many believe that“the logical conclusion of the … decision is that he who first develops his property may be able to prevent his neighbours from developing their properties in similar fashion, to any extent that it detracts from his view”.Based on this interpretation of the judgment, owners of vacant land in coastal resorts whose view is currently obstructed by an existing building may rightfully fear that they will be forced to live with this given the position that they cannot build a double storey to obtain some view if by doing so they would, in turn, obstruct the view from an adjoining property. In fact, this belief has prompted some estate agents to advise sellers of vacant land that since they cannot erect a building obstructing their neighbour‟s view, the value of their properties has been diminished substantially, hence they should lower their asking price. Against this background it is perhaps not surprising that it has been suggested that the judgment “cannot be a correct interpretation of the relevant section” and that the Supreme Court of Appeal “needs to reconsider its broad-brush approach to the meaning of value … and in any event that the legislature needs to amend the section to ensure that it is interpreted sensibly”.The purpose of this note is to place the Supreme Court of Appeal's judgment in proper perspective. It is submitted that the decision is perfectly correct and, properly interpreted, does not support any of the aforesaid contentions.

A model of plasma membrane folding formation under the action of longitudinal and transverse mechanical forces applied to it is presented. These forces arise due to changes in protein-lipid and lipid-lipid interactions in the membrane and the submembrane spectrin-actin-ankyrin network under changing external conditions (temperature, pH), and interaction with ligands. A model of a linear elastic continuum is used. It is established that the amplitude of the height of folds is directly proportional to the amplitude of the applied distributed transverse forces and inversely proportional to the longitudinal stress. It is shown that if the value of the longitudinal stress exceeds a certain critical value, then the membrane folds are modulated by subfolds. The distributed transverse force has the same wavelength as the membrane folds. The results of mo-deling at a qualitative level explain the results of atomic force microscopy of the surface of erythrocyte membranes during their interaction with stress hormones and androgens.

Published: July 2023

Current trends in the development of power supply systems for industrial facilities when applying the principles of distributed generation consist in the implementation of power supply from several power sources of different types and characteristics (photovoltaic cells, wind power plants, microturbine plants, diesel power plants), the maximum approximation of power sources to electrical loads, the use of electricity storage. The availability of such installations near consumers reduces the quantitative energy consumption by reducing the technical losses of the ge¬nerated energy and reducing dependence on fossil fuels. However, with these advantages, distri¬buted generation has created technical problems, one of which is the complication of relay protection systems due to the possibility of powering the damage point from different sides. This circumstance requires the development of new algorithms and protection schemes to ensure selectivity and to increase the sensitivity of relay protection. The purpose of the study is to analyze the algorithms of remote protection in distributed generation systems. The methods used comprise an integrated approach, including scientific analysis, processing and analysis of the results of theoretical and experimental studies in the field of relay protection of electrical complexes in networks with distributed generation. The results obtained present the analysis of various algorithms for the implementation of protection, which were implemented as proposals for distribution networks. The system of remote protection in networks containing distributed generation systems is presented, and the algorithms of operation are compared to increase the sensitivity of remote protection devices to the occurrence of various emergency modes: single-phase and three-phase short circuits. Several algorithms for increasing the sensitivity of remote protection for distribution networks in the presence of several power sources are considered. The comparison of these algorithms according to the criteria of the implementation cost, the accuracy of implementation, the number of necessary input data is also carried out. Practical significance of the research the research results can be used to take into account the effect of changes in the parameters of protected connections under conditions of electrical complexes operation in a network with distributed ge¬neration on the effectiveness of remote protection. They make it possible to increase the sensitivity and selectivity of the remote protection operation in case of emergency situations.
Between the Ethos of Science and “Vice Squad”: Max Weber as Polеmicist
Authors: Kil'dyushov Oleg
Published: July 2023

The article deals with the uniquely specific public profile of Max Weber, who, on the one hand, entered the history of social thought as a staunch supporter of the value-free scientific work, and on the other hand, was a passionate polemicist ready to cause a public scandal even for a minor occasion. At the outset, Weber’s ambivalent understanding of the ethos of modern science as a methodically-controlled search for objective knowledge of the world at the edge of the scientist’s self-denial and free from the influence of extra-scientific motives is pointed out. In so doing, the paradoxical combination in Weber’s anthropology of science of the imperatives of analytical sobriety and passionate loyalty to one’s “daemon” is recorded. It has been argued that his ambivalence was a specific trait of the classicist of German and world sociology, combining his titanic personality with the extremes of a scholarly hermit and a world celebrity with a reputation for unbalanced scandals. Following then are the judgments about the eminent social thinker made by representatives of opposing political currents, both right-wing conservatives and left-wing extremists. On the basis of a number of high-profile scandals that became known to the scientific and general public in early-20th century Germany, the mechanism of Weber’s involvement in conflicts with various opponents at the personal and institutional level is demonstrated. The practical significance for Weber himself of his scientific-theoretical and methodological principles, which became canonical for the self-understanding of the modern scholarly profession, is questioned. Finally, the passionate controversy surrounding Weber’s famous work Protestant Ethics and the Spirit of Capitalism is analyzed, reconstructed on the example of historian F. Raphael’s critique and the response of Weber’s First Anticritique.

Published: July 2023

Calf care is not only essential for the sustenance of the dairy industry but is also essential for preserving and maintaining good-quality of germplasm. On the contrary, high levels of calf mortality have limited dairy herd expansion and genetic improvement in the study area. Therefore, the study was developed to evaluate the existing calf health and management problems and to assess the level of farmers’ knowledge and calf health and management practices in the study areas. Thus, a cross-sectional study design was used and the study districts and peasant association were selected purposely where as the individual household was selected randomly using a systematic random sampling method. A total of 50 households were selected from the three districts and a detailed questionnaire survey format was designed to generate baseline information related to the calf health management system and major calf health problems. As the study result indicated diseases like blackleg, pneumonia, and internal and external parasites were the most dominant calves’ health problems. About 50% of the respondents informed that most calf mortalities occurred due to pneumonia, blackleg, starvation, heartwater, diarrhea, and bloat. Even though all calves were getting access to colostrum feeding, they do not access the optimum level, and regarding calves’ feed natural grass is categorized in the first rank where as concentrated feeds (ground maize, grain, noug cake) and food left over (local brewery by product and straw) were placed in the second and third rank, respectively. And all farmers in the study area have access to veterinary services, however, the accessibility is not uniform among the farmers. In general, as the study revealed there has been poor management practice regarding both feeding and housing of calves in the study area. Therefore, identifying economically important animal diseases and designing strategic preventive and control measures and improvement of calf management practices through awareness creation among farmers is valuable.

Information gathering may obviously be a complex process during a humanitarian crisis for both relief workers and its victims. Faced with the inherent difficulties, digital tools have much to contribute to the different phases of participatory evaluation. This article presents partial results of the Erasmus+ project, KA2- Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices (InovHumbRE Projects). The main aim has been to analyse data on the participatory evaluation methods used by the different institutions/agencies involved in a project and within the context of crisis situations. A mixed type of study was selected using a descriptive and interpretative approach of a non-generalisable nature based on an analysis of quantitative and qualitative data provided by the staff of non-governmental organisations working in crisis situations in Spain. The cohort was comprised of 14 respondents from sundry social agencies and organisations. A questionnaire was used with 26 items that followed an open-ended and closed response format. The results show that the use and development of technology can favour social interventions and participatory evaluations in certain projects or crisis situations.

Published: July 2023

This study is based on the premise that the teaching profession is one of the professions with the greatest responsibility for educating citizens in digital competence, and as such we should focus on how to train these professionals. We carried out this research during an in-service teacher training programme in Ecuador and based it on the principle that we should train teachers in the same way as we expect them to teach their students. During the training programme, teachers acquire formative assessment skills using digital e-rubrics (teacher and peer assessment) and work in collaboration with other teams of teachers. We analysed the results of applying the same digital rubric to an oral competence exercise involving participating and course teachers, and conducted a correlational research design, obtaining a Cronbach's alpha of 0.953 from the 508 evaluations carried out with the same e-rubric. Based on the results, we present a digital rubric that has been validated to assess the oral presentation of educational projects. Moreover, we analysed the difficulties teachers had when using the rubric, as shown in the assessment of the quality of the resources. Examples of other practices and contexts for training teachers in digital rubric methods are also presented. Finally, we provide a set of web-based rubric tools as possible applications.

Published: July 2023

The production of carnations (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) in Colombia is a very important economic activity. Therefore, predicting harvests is vital for the market. The phenological behavior and growth of carnations during the flowering season in the cultivars Idilio, Ilusion, and Moon light were determined in greenhouse using a functional growth analysis. This research was based on the phenological stages and accumulation of growing degree day (GDD), relating the temperature in terms of thermal time with the development of flower buds from the rice point phenological stage to cut-off point 5. There were eight stages of carnation flower bud development; rice, pea, chickpea, barrel, star, bullet, cut point 3, and cut point 5. The fresh and dry mass of the flower buds in the three varieties presented a simple sigmoid growth pattern that was adjusted to a logistic model. There were three growth phases: phase 1, which was from the pea stage to barrel stage with accumulation of 380.7 GDD in the Idilio cultivar, 381.5 GDD for ‘Ilusion’, and 361.6 GDD for ‘Moon light’. Phase 2 ended with the bullet stage, where the accumulation was 294.4 GDD, 397.7 GDD, and 293.5 GDD for ‘Idilio’, ‘Ilusion’ and ‘Moon light’, respectively. In phase 3, ‘Idilio’ accumulated 108.9 GDD, ‘Ilusion’ had 110.8 GDD, and ‘Moon light’ showed 99.9 GDD. Moon light was the earliest cultivar, and Ilusion was the latest variety.
Ways of conveying the meaning of culturally marked vocabulary in the English translation of “A tale of the Bliss Bird by Vsevolod Nestaiko

Published: July 2023

Despite the fact that the problem of conveying the meaning of culturally marked vocabulary has always received a lot of critical attention from the scholars, rendering of Ukrainian fairy tales realia into other languages remains a topical issue because of the growing interest in our culture nowadays and the need for adequate translation in the field of various genres of fiction. In this context special attention must be paid to the process of translating literary fairy tales that also include a lot of culturespecific elements but have not been studied from this perspective yet. The purpose of this research is to identify the ways of conveying the meaning of culturally marked vocabulary in the English translation of Vsevolod Nestaiko’s “A Tale of the Bliss Bird”. The main tasks of the study are as follows: to outline the strategies, methods, and techniques of rendering the meanings of ethno-marked components of the text into English, to find out what factors determined the choice of particular methods by the translator and how justified the corresponding text transformations are. The methods and techniques used in this research include a total sampling technique (to select the research data) and basic methods of linguistic and translation analysis, namely: analytical, descriptive, and comparative methods – for analyzing and comparing different linguistic realia in the original and their equivalents in the translation, to identify and describe the ways of rendering Ukrainian realia into English. It has been found that the translator of the text, Vasyl Baryshev, mainly employed adaptation and simplification strategies, which in most cases is justified by the age of the target audience of the fairy tale, the inappropriateness of overloading the text with transcribed foreign language realia with explanations that could interfere with children’s perception and lead to the loss of dynamism of the plot. Some of the author’s occasionalisms (nonce words), carrying vivid national and cultural connotations, are technically impossible to be conveyed by means of the English language. So, the translator had to employ the techniques of omission or substitution, use functional analogues and contextual equivalents. In the process of translating onyms, in particular the names of the main characters, V. Baryshev quite successfully applied a creative approach (though with certain inaccuracies), forming in the English version of the text a coherent anthroponymic microsystem that meets the demands of the fairy tale genre.

Published: July 2023

The author analyzes the lexical-semantic features of microtoponyms of anthropogenic origin in the village of Velyki Didushychi (Stryi District, Lviv Oblast). As a result of the study of 287 microtoponyms it was found that man-made objects constitute a significant part, and 11 semantic groups of microtoponyms were distinguished: the names for trades, methods of household management, types of settlements, residential, cultural, economic and household buildings, which indicate the method of land development, on a part of the whole, on the border of land allotments, on the purpose and use of the area, on the roads of communication, on the social status of the owner, as well as in which the beliefs of the inhabitants and the formation of ethnonyms are expressed. In each thematic group, the meaning of motivational bases is distinguished, and their etymology is clarified. On the basis of calculations, it was highlighted that the most significant part in the analyzed onomasticon involves the stems for the definition of residential, cultural, economic and household buildings, which became the basis for the creation of 43 proper names of a monolexical, compound and prepositional structure, which is related to ensuring the livelihood of people. Within these groups, the largest number of names was recorded from the appellatives tserkva [church] / doroha [road] and lenia – 5 and 9 nominations, respectively. It was outlined that th propriatives for determining trades, methods of household management are also productive, as well as those that indicate the purpose and use of the area and that reflect the beliefs of the inhabitants – from 10 to 17 units. Thematic groups that are unproductive in the studied territory are outlined, among which microtoponyms formed from ethnonyms and which indicate the social status of the owner are the least represented.

The paper notes the attempts that are being made to doctrinally substantiate a broad approach, according to which the «international law of cultural property» was formed as a special (autonomous) legal framework. Without sharing such views, the author justifies the existence of an intersectoral institute for the international legal protection of cultural property, and also notes that the protection of cultural property in the actual situation of armed conflict is a branch institute of international humanitarian law (IHL), characterized by the presence of special principles and established scope of application (ratione materiae and ratione temporis). For the purposes of IHL, the definition of «cultural property» is formulated. It implies movable and immovable objects of the material world (objects) that are subject to identification and have no military purpose. They are of fundamental importance for the cultural heritage of not only a single people, but also the entire international community, included in the relevant register/list and under common, special or enhanced international legal protection, including their storage sites or concentration centers.A reasonable proposal has been made to introduce the concept of the «1954 Hague Convention system» into scientific circulation. The central part of it is formed by the 1954 Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict, including the Executive Regulations as an integral part of it, and additional Protocols to it (Optional Protocol I and the Second Protocol of 1999), as well as three resolutions attached to the Final Act of the 1954 Conference. It is emphasized that the Second Protocol of 1999, which Russia has not ratified, provided for the creation of institutional structures designed to complement the system of implementation of the Hague Convention of 1954. Based on the analysis of the «1954 Hague Convention system», three conventional regimes for the protection of cultural property in the actual situation of armed conflict (general, special and enhanced) have been established and their features have been analyzed.

The oldest, medieval travels of journeymen who searched for work in other cities were initially treated as natural prolongation of their study period. Over time, such migrations became an important way to find a job or higher wage, although the desire to deepen professional skills or meet new people and get acquainted with new places were other important factors. Since the 15th century, the obligation of additional travel might have been treated as a punishment after an unsuccessful attempt to deliver proof of technical competence (the „masterpiece”). It happened also that departing from workshops could be the result of conflict situations between journeymen and their masters. Wars fought in the Middle Ages or epidemics affecting areas were not without significance when considering traveling in search for work by journeymen. Since the 15th/16th century, in some guilds from the presented locations, journeymen's travel became a statutory, obligatory duty, the fulfillment of which allowed to achieve full journeyman rights, and later enabled the candidates to initiate process aiming at the highest accomplishment: the title of master craftsman.

The reforming of the university system in the Russian Empire in the second half of the 19th century also affected the activity of the University Councils. The main documents that reflected the functioning of these institutions are the protocols of their meetings. This article analyzes the source potential of the surviving protocols of the Council of the Imperial Kharkiv University. The research of this complex allows us not only to clarify the specific facts from the history of higher education in the Russian Empire in the second half of the XIX century, but also to review existing stereotypes in historiography, which concern the role of university councils in the transition from the „corporate” university to the „state” one.

The hero of this text is one of the most colorful figures of the 15th century. His life and career were extremely rich and full of unexpected turns. The descendant of an old aristocratic family had seventeen siblings, studied in Siena and Florence, and then became secretary to Cardinal Domenico Capranica. He was not characterized by steadiness of views, first a supporter of the superiority of the council over the pope, with time he changed his mind and recognized the primacy of the popes. An important step was entering the service of the Reich King Frederick III, but then he turned towards the Church, was ordained a minor priest, in 1456 he became a cardinal, and the crowning of his career was the election of the pope in 1458, where he took the name Pius II. The content of the text are 3 episodes from Piccolomini’s life related to 3 women. They were, in order: the wife of the King of Hungary and the Roman Emperor Sigismund of Luxembourg, Barbara of Cilesia, Joan of Arc, whose fascinating portrait was sketched by Aeneas in his „Memoirs”, and a certain woman whose interesting fate he heard as the pope during the audience. All three images show the author as a good observer and an outstanding humanist.

The article outlines the reorganisation of the office service carried out in poviat starost's offices of the Lublin Voivodeship in 1927. It concerned the documentation accruing in enumerated categories of cases, the settlement of which involved entries in official registers kept on the basis of legal regulations. The streamlining consisted in resigning from entering correspondence, in these cases, in the correspondence register, leaving only entries in the appropriate register, which at the same time assumed the function of an office aid. The article assesses the significance of the implementation of this solution against the background of all activities improving the office of the administration of the Second Republic of Poland, and above all the nationwide reform of the office regulations introduced in 1931. The source material is based on normative acts, documents related to their establishment and implementation, as well as reporting and control materials. In addition, the findings made on the basis of the normative acts have been verified in relation to the office aids preserved in the archival legacy of the offices studied.
