Authors: LI Bo , PENG Qi'an , WANG Sanmin , ZHU Jihong , CHARIS Gantes J.
Published: December 2023

The main goal of this paper is to develop a comprehensive dynamic modeling and analysis method based on the absolute node coordinate method to predict the impact of the member flexibility on the dynamic performance of scissor deployable structure under the framework of flexible multi-body dynamics. In the process, three locking problems in the classical plane shear beam element are reviewed and discussed. Then a novel non-locking planar beam element is proposed to solve the element locking problem, and the dynamic model of the scissor deployable structure is established. Next, the cantilever beam, simply supported beam and flexible simple pendulum are respectively used to verify the correctness of the proposed non-locking beam element from the static and dynamic perspectives. Finally, the simulation and experiment results show that the proposed new non-locking element and normal matrix modeling method can effectively evaluate the dynamic performance of deployable structure and improve the computational efficiency. This study not only provides theoretical guidance for the dynamic behavior analysis and prediction of scissor deployable structure, but also offers reference for the layout and design of same type mechanisms.
Vibration Bandgap Analysis of Periodic Composite Microplates using Isogeometric Approach
Authors: LIU Pengpeng , ZHOU Jianfang , YIN Shuohui , MEI Yan
Published: December 2023

For periodic composite microplates, the microstructure dependent effect has great influence on the elastic wave vibration band gaps. In this paper, an effective isogeometric analysis method based on the modified couple stress theory (MCST) is proposed to calculate the vibration band gaps in periodic composite microplates. The MCST is employed to capture the microstructure effect of vibration band gaps in periodic composite microplates. The high order continuity requirement of MCST can be easily satisfied by applying the NURBS based isogeometric analysis approach. The elasto-dynamics and discrete equations of isogeometric analysis are obtained under the Mindlin kinematics assumptions. The present approach is validated by comparison with the analytical solution. And the influence of microstructure effect, volume fraction and unit cell length on the band gaps are investigated in details.

Authors: Naldini Massimiliano , Orlandini Lorenza
Published: December 2023

Il periodo pandemico ha evidenziato la necessità di un approccio globale e integrato per rispondere alle criticità emergenti (povertà educativa, learning loss, dispersione scolastica) dei sistemi scolastici. Tale approccio prevede la collaborazione tra scuola e comunità esterna; ciò significa dar vita a un processo partecipato per la costruzione di un’offerta formativa capace di coniugare obiettivi di apprendimento e valorizzazione del capitale sociale interno ed esterno. Oltre ai dispositivi normativi, le governance scolastiche possono utilizzare, per la costruzione della relazione con l’esterno, alcuni approcci pedagogici, come il Service Learning, che favoriscono la connessione tra soggetti in apprendimento e oggetti di studio, svolgendosi in contesti di vita reale. Il contributo presenta una prima analisi dei contenuti delle esperienze di Service Learning, volta a individuare le tematiche caratterizzanti la relazione tra scuole e territorio.

Il curricolo del patrimonio e della cittadinanza: l’istituzione scolastica come catalizzatore di cultura e rapporti generativi per il rinnovamento sociale
Authors: Landini Alessandra
Published: December 2023

Dopo l’esperienza della pandemia, che ha reso visibili le fatiche del mondo dell’educazione, ma anche i suoi esiti positivi in termini di resilienza e creatività, la scuola ha assunto una maggiore consapevolezza del suo ruolo nel territorio, come dimostrano le esperienze dei Patti educativi di comunità. Nello specifico, l’Istituto Comprensivo “Alessandro Manzoni” di Reggio Emilia ha intrapreso una riflessione di più ampio respiro su come meglio interpretare e contestualizzare il proprio curricolo del patrimonio e della cittadinanza. Tale approfondimento ha portato a due filoni di ricerca della comunità di pratica: da un lato, la ricerca della storia della propria scuola, intesa come ricerca di una centralità dei luoghi della cultura e dell’educazione e l’attitudine alla responsabilità nel prendersi cura di questi luoghi. Dall’altro, la valorizzazione dello scambio con la pluralità degli universi di cura della persona, intesi come luoghi della cultura umana.
Legarsi alla montagna. La pedagogia di Maria Lai come forma- azione di alleanze educative attraverso il patrimonio storico, culturale e naturale in una piccola comunità
Authors: Garista Patrizia
Published: December 2023

In Maria Lai, l’arte è una poetica che racconta e mette in scena il legame tra le persone e il patrimonio storico, culturale e naturale del proprio territorio, tra ciò che caratterizza il pensiero creativo, razionale, spirituale e gli oggetti del mondo di cui è parte. Nell’opera Legarsi alla montagna, il nastro azzurro simboleggia la forza e insieme la fragilità dei vincoli esistenti tra umanità, paesaggio, costruzione della conoscenza e delle relazioni, ma anche la forza della “relianza” nel connettere le agenzie educative, creando alleanze tra diversi soggetti e stakeholder. Maria Lai interpreta narrazioni e rituali, lavorando sulle possibilità di ri-orientamento e di rientro in formazione, creando esperienze capaci di sostenere un rapporto diverso con l’ambiente fisico e relazionale, producendo storie di pratiche anticipatrici di alleanze educative in una piccola comunità.

Authors: di Padova Marilena , Dipace Anna , Pettoello-Mantovani Massimo
Published: December 2023

Una comunità educante distribuisce il proprio ruolo educativo tra tutti quei soggetti che collaborano per promuovere un ambiente di apprendimento equo e inclusivo. La scuola rappresenta la principale agenzia di formazione, ma per i ragazzi ospedalizzati la vita scolastica può deviare dalle esperienze dei pari. La scuola in ospedale, quindi, si apre a un insieme di figure professionali che collaborano per fornire un’esperienza educativa personalizzata. Con il presente contributo si intende offrire una riflessione sistematica degli aspetti che fanno della scuola in ospedale una comunità educante, evidenziando come l’istruzione faccia parte del complesso processo di cura e auspicando politiche e percorsi formativi specialistici che possano realmente rispondere ai bisogni dei discenti.
I Poli per l’infanzia: possibili presidi civici di inclusione e democrazia per bambini e famiglie
Authors: Maia Elisa
Published: December 2023

Il decreto legislativo 65/2017 ha rappresentato una conquista fondamentale per l’Italia, poiché ha stabilito la ricomposizione di intenti e progettualità caratterizzanti il curricolo “zerosei”, con l’intenzione di concorrere a ridurre gli svantaggi culturali, sociali e relazionali e di favorire l’inclusione di ciascun bambino. Nel sistema “zerosei”, la normativa riconosce un ruolo strategico ai Poli per l’infanzia: laboratori permanenti di ricerca, innovazione, partecipazione e apertura al territorio. Essi tracciano scenari innovativi per la progettazione di spazi in cui promuovere una cultura complessa e plurale di infanzie e famiglie, nell’ottica della continuità orizzontale. I Poli per l’infanzia, pertanto, possono diventare presidi civici di promozione dei diritti dei bambini e delle famiglie, in una prospettiva realmente inclusiva e democratica.

Phenomenology of Heavy Quark at the LHC
Authors: Benbrik Rachid , Boukidi Mohammed
Published: December 2023

In the Standard Model, the Higgs boson is responsible for giving particles mass through a process called the Higgs mechanism. However, the interactions between the Higgs boson and usual quarks are determined by Yukawa couplings, which means that the strength of their interactions depends on their mass. In contrast, vector-like quarks are expected to have a more “vector” coupling with the Higgs boson, which would make their interactions independent of their mass. This property could potentially make them easier to detect experimentally. In this chapter, we develop the theoretical framework of such exotic heavy quarks both in the standard model and beyond it such as the two Higgs doublets model (2HDM). This chapter introduces a Lagrangian which follows the most generic concept of the Standard Model which is consistent with the basics, and then we explore the consequences of identifying the eigenstates and interactions with SM-VLQ. We also provide a detailed description of the full interaction in the 2HDM mass basis. We shortly comment on the production of heavy quark pairs at the LHC.
Recent Advances in Bio-Derived Nanomaterials: Green Synthesis of Silica
Authors: Sello Seroka Ntalane , Khotseng Lindiwe
Published: December 2023

Silica molecules present in commercial objects can pose a hazard to human health, which is why the environmentally friendly synthesis of silica has been intensively researched in the recent decades. This chapter describes the synthesis of silica from sugarcane bagasse waste and its physical and chemical properties for potential use in eco-friendly applications. Sugarcane bagasse was burned to produce ash, which was then calcined in a 700°C kiln before being treated with citric acid to remove silica from the ash. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis showed that after the acid treatment, 78–79% of the silica was produced and strong peaks were observed in the X-ray diffraction spectra (XRD) at 2Ɵ = 28 (degree) and an average diameter of 28 nm for 1-HDTA and 30 nm for TPAH, determined by the Scherrer equation. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra also confirms the presence of synthesized silica. In addition, the shape of the particles was analyzed by TEM and SEM images and it is found that synthesized silica had a spongy shape with irregular sizes ranging from 25 to 50 nm. Overall, the studies show that organic bases are capable of synthesizing silica with application-specific properties from agricultural waste using green chemistry.
Mortality Causes of Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases
Authors: Herrera-Méndez Maynor
Published: December 2023

Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases (ARDs) are chronic multisystemic diseases that have a low prevalence (estimated to range from 4 to 5% of the general population), and the impact on mortality in ARDs is lower (mortality reported in ARDs is 0.3 to 2.1) in general statistics worldwide compared to other diseases with higher prevalence such as arterial hypertension (HBP) or diabetes mellitus (DM). The objective of this review is to update the concepts regarding mortality associated with ARD, and the most relevant studies and review were included. The causes of mortality among ARDs vary widely between geographic areas and cannot be generalized, although the most important frequency reported is in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and scleroderma (SSc). It has recently been reported that measuring the standardized mortality rate (SMR) identifies the inflammatory diseases with increased risk: 4.80 in systemic vasculitis (SV), 2.9 in SLE, and 1.44 in RA. The causes of death are regularly associated with acute events (infections and respiratory and cardiovascular diseases) and less frequent related to the disease severity. Other reported associated factors have been age, duration, type of presentation of the disease, and socioeconomic status. We found that the variation between the main reported causes is little; significantly higher mortality (five times more) has been found in the regional analysis in Latin America compared to that in Europe. The most important factor in the last decades is the habitual use of drugs that increase the risk of immunosuppression and infection.

The aim of the chapter is to provide information on the antidiabetic properties of quercetin. According to studies, quercetin regulates whole-body glucose homeostasis through interacting with a variety of molecular targets in the liver, pancreas, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, and small intestine. The pleiotropic mechanisms of action of quercetin include the reduction of intestinal glucose absorption, insulin secretory, and insulin-sensitizing actions, as well as enhanced glucose utilization in peripheral tissues.
Regulatory and Safety Requirement for use of recycled Polyethylene in Food and Cosmetic Packaging
Authors: Labib Ramez , Amin Ripal , Hoffman Lisa
Published: December 2023

Post-consumer resin, or PCR, is the technical term for recycled plastic. Plastic waste is collected, sorted, and re-purposed to make various types of new packaging. This includes ocean plastics, which are post-consumer resins made from plastics that are headed to oceans but picked up for recycling before they end up in oceans. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) are the most frequently recycled polymers where PET and HDPE bottles comprise 97.1% of the United States plastic bottle and packaging market. The greatest challenge to using PCR plastic is the potential chemical migration of contaminants from the plastic packaging into the package contents. This potential chemical contamination is often higher in PCR material as compared to virgin material due to the migration from and to the plastic during its lifetime. There are regulatory requirements to ensure safety of PCR in food packaging, but there are no clear guidelines for cosmetic industry to ensure their safe in cosmetic packaging. In this book chapter we will summarize the challenges for using recycled polyethylene, the global regulatory requirements for their use in food packaging and learning that can be applied for their safe use in cosmetic packaging.
Restoration of Tumor Suppression to Cancer Carrying p53 Mutations
Authors: Nurul Amin Mohammad , Liu Yong-Yu
Published: December 2023

Missense mutations of tumor suppressor genes enable cancerous cells generating variable mutant proteins and promote malignant development. These mutant proteins lose the original functions in suppressing tumorous cells but also commit oncogenic activities to tumor progression. Targeting mutants of the p53 tumor suppressor merges a specific approach for cancer treatments. This chapter will highlight the progress from our group and those of others in this filed. We will introduce new concepts and molecular mechanisms underlying the expression of mutant proteins and cancer resistance to conventional treatments. Furthermore, we will introduce the potential agents holding great promises in preclinic studies for cancer treatments.
Some Aspects of Electronic Warfare in the Fight against Terrorism
Authors: Terzić Miroslav
Published: December 2023

Terrorism as a phenomenon especially comes to the fore at the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century when, most often, non-state subjects (various terrorist groups and individuals) using different types of weapons and military equipment, plan, organize and carry out terrorist operations, creating great effects (deadly effects, psychological effects, etc.) in the attacking object. The targets of attacks by terrorist groups (terrorist organizations) are numerous, ranging from state institutions to ordinary citizens. The evolution of terrorism conditioned the development of new methods of fighting terrorists, but also the improvement of existing methods of fighting terrorism. One of the ways of fighting terrorism includes the use of electronic warfare systems as part of the operational and combat support in the anti-terrorist operation. Earlier use of electronic warfare systems in the fight against terrorism included the individual use of electronic support assets. The reasons for such use of electronic warfare systems are in the fact that weapons, organization of terrorist cells and planning of terrorist acts were at such a level that it was not necessary to use army units and more complex systems for electronic warfare. The activities of terrorist organizations since the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century can be characterized as terrorist operations with military features. Terrorist operations with military features have influenced the use of military units in the fight against terrorists, in addition to the use of police units. The use of army units and police units in the fight against terrorists is unified through the process of preparing and executing a counter-terrorist operation. When planning an anti-terrorist operation using army and police forces, it is necessary, among other things, to plan adequate systems for electronic warfare that would provide operational and combat support to army and police forces. That is why it is very important to analyze certain electronic warfare systems that can provide operational and combat support in a counter-terrorist operation that has military characteristics. The contribution of this research is in the improvement of the conceptual approach to the use of electronic warfare systems in the fight against terrorism. Further research should be focused on creating a model of electronic warfare in a counter-terrorist operation.
Perspective Chapter: Detecting Volatility Pattern of Assets Returns Using Wavelet Analysis
Authors: Chidi Ukwuoma Okonkwo , Donald Chukwuma Ugo , Ifeanyi Chinebu Titus
Published: December 2023

This chapter advocates for the use of wavelet analysis as a potent tool in understanding the dynamic nature of asset price volatility in financial markets. While traditional methods like GARCH models have been valuable, wavelet analysis offers a distinctive approach by decomposing time series data into various scales and frequencies. This enables a comprehensive perspective, capturing both short-term fluctuations and long-term trends. In an era of interconnected and information-rich financial markets, the ability to discern subtle volatility patterns is crucial. The chapter provides a guide to wavelet analysis, explaining its foundations, principles, and methodology for application to financial time series. Real data from NASDAQ Composite, DOW Incorporated, S&P500, and Omnicell Inc. is used for illustration. The efficacy of wavelet analysis is emphasized, offering finance professionals, academia, and researchers a simple yet robust approach to navigate the complexities of modern financial markets, make informed decisions, and adapt to evolving conditions. The chapter aims to enhance understanding of financial market behavior, inspiring further research and innovation in financial analysis and risk management.
Arma Veritatis : Poland and the World Exhibition of the Catholic Press (Esposizione mondiale della stampa cattolica), Vatican City, 1936
Authors: Wola�ska Joanna
Published: December 2023

The World Exhibition of the Catholic Press held in the Vatican City from mid-May 1936, though not a 'universal' exhibition, but � seemingly � an internal affair of the Catholic Church, attracted representations of 45 states of Europe and America and 53 regions of the remaining three continents. True to its motto, its aim was propagandistic, directed against the current communist and liberal tendencies. The present paper, which looks at the exhibition from the perspective of the Polish room, is based on documentary materials left by its prime mover, Fr Stanis�aw Adamski, bishop of Katowice, responsible for the mass media in Polish episcopate. An interesting paradox is that it was not Poland as a state, but the representation of Polish Church that participated in the event. The state authorities were contacted only as much as political correctness and diplomatic courtesy required, or with the prospect of some financial support. They seemed to be indifferent and, at any rate, unwilling to spend any money on the exhibition, even though it was advertised by the Church as an excellent promotional opportunity. Bishop Adamski almost single-handedly devised the Polish exhibit, including the iconography and political message of a painting entitled Polonia � Sanctorum Mater et Scutum Christianitatis ('Poland � Mother of the Saints and Shield of Christianity'), which depicted important personalities from Polish history, including � tellingly � the figures of King John III Sobieski and Marshall J�zef Pi�sudski.

Water filters are one of the efforts that can be made to reduce the content of contaminants and bacteria in water that do not meet the requirements. Sand and gravel are media that are widely used in filters, which can reduce coliform content levels. This research aims to see the effectiveness of sand filters with variations in the thickness and diameter of sand in reducing the coliform content of dug well water. This type of research is experimental, using pre-test and post-test methods. The population is a sample of dug well water containing Coliform bacteria in Wenang District, Telling Bawah Village. The sample is water that has passed the filtering process 12 times. The instruments in this research were sand filters with variations in diameter and thickness and biological examination of water samples. The research data was then tested using the t-test. The research showed that sand filters with a thickness of 70 cm and a diameter of 0.45 mm were ineffective in reducing coliform content. In comparison, sand filters with a thickness of 70 cm with a diameter of 0.3 mm and sand filters with a thickness of 90 cm with a diameter of 0.45 mm and a diameter of 0.3 mm effectively reduce the Coliform content in dug well water. The results of statistical tests using the t-test on a 70 cm thick sand filter with a diameter of 0.45 mm showed a value of 0.219 (p > 0.05). A sand filter with a thickness of 70 cm with a diameter of 0.3 mm shows an ap value of 0.001 (p < 0.05). A 90 cm thick sand filter with a diameter of 0.45 mm showed a value of 0.001 (p < 0.05). A 90 cm thick sand filter with a diameter of 0.3 mm shows an AP value of 0.000 (p < 0.05).

The Javanese people or more precisely the Javanese people, in cultural anthropology, are people who in their simple lives use the Javanese language with various dialects for generations. The Javanese people are those who live in the areas of Central Java and East Java, and they come from both regions. This dynamism is the belief that what they have built is the result of adaptation to struggle with nature. This Javanese culture is continuously maintained by the nobility and the nobility or Javanese intellectuals. The two cultures have their own characteristics. The peasant culture living in the countryside is a small tradition that is still dominated by the oral tradition, while the aristocratic culture has developed a tradition of writing by utilizing Hindu Buddhist religious literature.

Principles of State Administrative Court In Indonesia
Authors: Sofi Yuliniar
Published: December 2023

In a principle of state administrative justice in Indonesia, there are two differences where this justice system lives in a rule of law state, the first is unity of jurisdiction, which means a unit of jurisdiction which will certainly be embraced by a rule of law country, where only one unit recognizes the entire set of courts, namely there is in ordinary courts such as (general courts) and quite unfamiliar with PTUN. Furthermore, the second in the duality of jurisdiction adopted by countries where laws are adhered to is the general court and Administrative Court. Now, where the general court is at the supreme court, while PTUN blends in with the state. Now, in these two cases, it is not only the organizational structure of the court that differs, but the legal subjects or procedural law are actually different. Now, in Indonesia, this is quite unique because there is a research result that we know very well, which is closer to a unified system of jurisdiction, but when viewed from the principles of justice or procedures for resolving disputes, it is closer to the system of dual jurisdiction, so that in writing want to conclude that the justice system in Indonesia follows a mixed system.

The Constitutional Court as an institution guarding the constitution has been able to carry out the mandate given to it, namely as an institution that protects the constitutional rights of every citizen. the mandate imposed on the Constitutional Court as a nature of court decisions contains the rights that will be owned by justice seekers. Therefore, the establishment of the Constitutional Court apart from being a supervisor and protector of the 1945 Constitution also serves as an institution that can provide legal guarantees for every legal product that is produced. However, as a judicial institution which is considered to be still young, there are many things that need to be studied further in this Constitutional Court, especially those related to urgency and existence in society. Because basically every judicial institution needs to formulate regulations that can be accepted by society and can protect their rights.
