From Tolerating Informality to Formalizing Prohibition: Religious Practices of West African Migrants in France (1960s–2020s)
Authors: Guérin Laura
Published: December 2024

This article addresses the concept of arrival infrastructure through religious practices. More specifically, this article is about the visibility of Muslim religious practices of West African migrants in France from the 1960s to the present day. The article is mainly based on ethnographic fieldwork on foyers conducted in the Paris region from 2016 until 2022 but also draws on archival research undertaken in the Paris City Archives. Foyers are a specialised housing system consisting of hostels for (post)colonial—mainly African—male migrant workers created in the 1950s. From the 2000s, foyers underwent significant transformation: their architecture and legal framework changed with the foyer giving way to the résidence sociale (social residence). African migrants were no longer the only residents in these new facilities, and their socio-spatial practices were closely monitored by building managers. Prayer rooms and mosques that existed in foyers disappeared following the transformation, leading to more informal religious spaces and practices. This article is constructed chronologically and aims to focus on the blurred frontier between formal and informal religious practices and their transformation across time: from being tolerated, or even encouraged, by policymakers and foyer managers to the progressive disappearance of collective religious activities in foyers or social residences. This article highlights the negotiations, conflicts, and tensions between residents, building managers, neighbours, and policymakers and their spatial consequences for everyday religious practices in the very tense post-2015 Paris attacks context marked by rising Islamophobia.

Bu çalışmada, 18. ve 19. yüzyıllarda flüt icracılığı, flüt yapımcılığı ve bestecilik yapmış sanatçılardan Tromlitz, Briccialdi ve Dorus’un müzikal yaşamları, müziğe kattıkları ve özellikle flüt yapımına getirdikleri yenilikleri incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Nitel araştırma yöntemiyle tasarlanan bu çalışmada, üç sanatçının müzik yaşamlarını, deneyimlerini ortaya koymak amacıyla biyografi analizi deseni kullanılmış, veriler doküman inceleme yoluyla toplanmıştır. Veri çözümleme tekniği olarak da tema, betimsel ve içerik analizinden yararlanılmıştır. Hem flüt icracısı hem de flüt yapımcısı olan sanatçılardan Tromlitz, icra esnasında Alman yapımı flütlerin kendisini sınırladığını ve Alman flütlerinden beklediği etkiyi bulamamasından dolayı kendi performansına katkı sağlayacağını öngördüğünden dolayı flüt yapımına başlamıştır. Tromlitz’in yapımcı olarak flüt sistemine en önemli katkılarından biri, sol elin küçük parmağıyla kullanılacak şekilde uzun fa perdesini bulmuş olmasıdır. Bir diğer sanatçı ve yapımcı Briccialdi’nin flüt sistemine katmış olduğu en önemli yenilik, bugün hala kullanılmakta olan hareketli si perdesini eklemiş olmasıdır Dorus ise, flüt sistemine Boehm'in 1860 yılına kadar yaygın olarak kullanılan açık sol diyez anahtarı kullanılmaktayken bu anahtara alternatif olarak kapalı bir anahtar geliştirmiştir.

Published: December 2024

Multiple myeloma is the second most common hematological malignancy, accounting for approximately 1% and 10–15% of malignant tumors of the hematopoietic and lymphoid systems, respectively. Until recently, the diagnosis of multiple myeloma was inherently associated with unfavorable prognosis of overall survival. On the one hand, advanced diagnosis techniques and the development of new treatment approaches have led to the improved life expectancy and significant reduction of mortality of patients with multiple myeloma. On the other hand, the medical and research communities have encountered a previously unknown issue: the combination of multiple myeloma with other types of cancer. This combination sets a task of multidisciplinary approach in the diagnosis and requires development of patient management strategy and prognostic parameters of the outcome. Some researchers adhere to the theory of independent tumor appearance in patients suffering from multiple myeloma, while other authors suppose that multiple myeloma and secondary cancer virtually represent multiple primary malignant neoplasms. This article presents a clinical case of postmortem verification of ovarian cancer in a patient with recurrent multiple myeloma.
Bacterial vaginosis biofilms: a target for therapeutic innovation
Authors: Rossolovskaya Kseniya A. , Trifonova Natalia S. , Gadaeva Irina V. , Spivak Leonid G.
Published: December 2024

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is one of the most common vaginal microbiome abnormalities worldwide and a risk factor for various obstetric and gynecological complications.
Despite years of exploration, existing and quickly emerging clinical, laboratory and instrumental diagnostic methods, and progressive development of science in general, the etiology and pathogenesis of BV remain poorly understood. This is evidenced by the high incidence of chronic and/or recurrent course. There are standard therapeutic approaches aimed to eradicating the causative agent, but the level of efficacy remains questionable due to recurrent episodes. Therefore, further studies of this problem are warranted. Actually, it is evident that G. vaginalis forms polymicrobial biofilms on urogenital tract mucosa.
Biofilms represent associations of microorganisms that are adhered to the surface of the epithelium and connected together in the polymer matrix. Biofilms change the properties of the microorganisms involved into their structural frame and provide beneficial conditions for their interactions. This results in the increase of the existing pathogenic properties of bacteria associated with BV, as well as in the appearance of new features. Thus, the microorganisms become less susceptible to previously effective antibiotics and to aggressive media. Finally, this contributes to the recurrent course of the disease.
In most cases, treatment of BV is based on the immediate effect on the microorganisms, but in patients with confirmed biofilm-associated BV this strategy is not effective and is associated with BV recurrences. Thus, currently relevant issues include exploration of the causes of recurrent BV, development of anti-biofilm agents able to disrupt their matrix and release bacteria from their carcass, and introduction of these agents into clinical practice. This will increase the effectiveness of treatment.

Published: December 2024

This reflective article addresses four themes: the human sciences, democracy, education andsocial transformation, in order to reflect on the role assumed by the word, as a human act andas a pedagogical and democratic mechanism, in individual and social processes. collectives ofsocial transformation. This call for reflection-action was born in a space that the authorscalled days of reflection, held at the Universidad del Valle, Palmira and San Fernando (Cali),within the framework of the national student strike for higher education in the secondsemester of the 2018. It is argued in the text that the word is the basis for the construction ofthe human condition and of the Other as an equal and similar. From this perspective, we findthat the word is indispensable in the democratic project because, thanks to its empowerment,the autonomy of the subject is achieved and equality with the Other is materialized.Therefore, it is affirmed that democratic education should invite educators and students tothink critically, for themselves, in a humane, free, diverse and dignified environment. It isconcluded that, given the importance of the word, it is necessary to consider it as apedagogical and democratic mechanism, through which processes of social transformationthat invite a change of attitude in social actors can be managed.

Authors: Cardona-Arbelaez Diego , Alarios-Rojas Adrián , Rojano-Alvarado Yolmis
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this research is to analyze the environmental sustainability practices implemented by small and medium-sized companies also called SMEs in the metal-mechanical sector in the city of Cartagena, to contrast them with the good environmental practices that should be developed by companies that work in favor of sustainable development. The methodology used for this study is quantitative and was transversal and field-based; the sample was non-probabilistic by convenience; it was made up of 120 companies out of a population of 662 SMEs according to the data of the Chamber of Commerce of Cartagena. The results indicate that a representative group of the companies analyzed has undergone a positive change towards environmental care, which has resulted in water-saving programs in their production processes; However, regarding energy consumption, although some SMEs have adopted energy-saving measures, a significant number of companies have not yet implemented them, which shows a lack of energy-saving culture; concerning gas emissions, there is evidence of the absence of measurement systems, which leads to a lack of knowledge of how they are impacting the environment. In conclusion, although some SMEs in the metal-mechanical sector in Cartagena have adopted environmental practices in their production processes, challenges remain regarding the lack of ecological awareness and the implementation of programs to reduce the environmental impact of their production processes, which are barriers to the strengthening of an organizational culture oriented to sustainable development.

Published: December 2024

Dry cough is one of the most common complaints of patients with COVID-19, so it must be treated with antitussives. The effectiveness of prescribed therapy can be controlled by using questionnaires and spectral analysis of cough sounds. The aim was to assess the use of spectral tussophonobarography for monitoring the effectiveness of cough treatment in patients with COVID-19. Methods. The main group consisted of 60 patients with COVID-19 (45% men, 55% women, average age 38.6 (30.1; 49.6) years) with mild or moderate severity and strong complaints of cough. The disease was treated in accordance with clinical recommendations, and antitussives were also used. Cough on the 1st and 8th days of therapy was studied using a visual analogue scale and spectral tussophonobarography, then compared with the induced cough of 30 healthy individuals making up the comparison group (43.3% men and 56.7% women; average age of 36.3 (28.4; 44.8) years). Cough recordings were subjected to a fast Fourier transform algorithm. The following cough characteristics were assessed: duration (ms), ratio of low and medium frequency energy (60 – 600 Hz) to high frequency energy (600 – 6000 Hz), and frequency of maximum sound energy (Hz). Not only of the coughing act as a whole was assessed, but also of each phase separately. Results. On the 8th day of treatment, significant changes in cough characteristics were seen compared to the 1st day, especially in the 2nd phase of the cough act. The duration of cough increased (T = 355.0 (276.0; 407.5) – on the 1st day; T(c) = 432.0 (386.0; 556.0) – on the 8th day; p = 0.0000), lower frequencies began to predominate (Q = 0.281 (0.2245; 0.408) – on the 1st day; Q(c) = 0.4535 (0.3725; 0.619) – on the 8th day; p = 0.0000), the frequency of maximum sound energy decreased (Fmax = 488.5 (282.0; 1220.5) – on the 1st day; Fmax = 347.0 (253.0; 488.0) – on the 8th day; p = 0.0064). No statistically significant differences were found in the studied parameters on the 8th day of treatment as compared with those in healthy individuals. Conclusion. Spectral tussophonobarography revealed that characteristics of cough sounds during treatment of COVID-19 were close to those of healthy individuals.

El artículo presenta una lectura crítica de las propuestas de evaluación estandarizada y sus efectos sobre los sistemas educativos del contexto evaluativo uruguayo. Se observa que la formación en evaluación en educación superior se acopla a las dinámicas del modelo productivo, filtrándose en la elaboración de los planes de estudios de su profesorado. Además, se señala que sus orientaciones encuentran correspondencia con una red de constelaciones de prácticas históricas que afectan los fondos y las formas de la evaluación en el curriculum de la educación básica y media. Concluye que la evaluación estandarizada promovida por los organismos internacionales en educación impacta en la evaluación local, con riesgos para las prácticas evaluativas sugeridas en los diseños curriculares.
Discursos y controversias medioambientales en las huellas del ganado trashumante
Authors: Bindi Letizia , Núñez Paula Gabriela
Published: December 2024

Este trabajo propone revisar los desafíos actuales del pastoreo extensivo y trashumante, a partir de comparar procesos europeos y americanos. En el primer caso se toman experiencias de la región de Molise en Italia, en el segundo de la Norpatagonia argentina. Se indaga en las huellas del ganado que pasa, en el doble reconocimiento hecho desde instituciones y de poblaciones. Buscamos comprender las hebras que ligan los sentidos de las prácticas, atendiendo a los desafíos socioambientales de territorios entre marginales y esencializados, que remiten a aspectos estructurales, de costumbres y prácticas concretas. Los casos se comparan a partir de entenderlos dentro del Antropoceno. Para visibilizar las tensiones que los atraviesan, se apela a las teorías críticas del Capitaloceno, que asocian el desarrollo sostenible, la difusión y la educación a un nuevo discurso sobre el patrimonio global. Desde aquí, y a la luz de las experiencias, se explicitan relaciones entre el patrimonio cultural inmaterial y el desarrollo sostenible en torno a la ganadería, a partir de las dificultades compartidas en el reconocimiento de la actividad por fuera de una mirada esencializadora.

Este artículo presenta las relaciones entre geografía y religión basado en la hipótesis de que las prácticas religiosas de los colectivos humanos participan en la construcción del espacio y en la generación de modelos de organización espacial en la Amazonía peruana. El objetivo del presente estudio es describir las formas de ocupación del territorio y los modelos de organización del espacio que surgen a partir de dichas prácticas. Se desarrolla una aproximación teórica sobre la organización espacial con énfasis en los factores sociales y culturales, y se pone en práctica un proceso metodológico descriptivo apoyado en un amplio trabajo de campo, entrevistas, revisión bibliográfica, elaboración de cartografía y esquemas coremáticos. Todo esto contribuye a presentar las estructuras sociorreligiosas y los modelos de organización que corresponden a los tres casos de iglesias estudiadas. Los principales aportes se sintetizan en la confirmación de la relación entre geografía y religión, la comprensión de las vínculos entre la sociedad y el territorio ligadas con prácticas que se basan en el ejercicio de la fe, y la comprensión de los siguientes postulados y conceptos de la geografía de la religión: factores socioculturales, estructuras sociorreligiosas, paisajes religiosos, modelos de organización del espacio y otros.
La industria automotriz en México durante las recientes crisis: reorganización productiva y perspectiva geopolítica
Authors: Arciniega Rosa Silvia
Published: December 2024

La crisis sanitaria de 2020-2021, la escasez de microcomponentes desde 2021 hasta la fecha, y las múltiples tensiones geopolíticas en curso (especialmente entre Estados Unidos y China) han tenido un impacto significativo y continuo en la industria automotriz. Estos eventos han generado disrupciones en las cadenas de suministros, evidenciando las vulnerabilidades de una industria que trabaja bajo el sistema de producción Justo a Tiempo. En este contexto, el nearshoring ha adquirido relevancia como estrategia para asegurar una cadena de suministro resiliente y eficiente en lo que respecta a los parámetros temporales y económicos. El objetivo de esta investigación es describir el panorama de la industria automotriz en México durante las recientes crisis –iniciadas en el año 2020 y que aún persisten impactando el contexto del comercio internacional–, identificando el nearshoring como una estrategia de negocios vinculada a una reestructuración productiva con el propósito de gestionar los riesgos en la compleja cadena de producción. Se plantea que el contexto postpandémico insta a una reconsideración de la estructura de las actividades productivas de la industria automotriz mexicana, la cual tiene un impacto no solo a nivel sectorial, sino también regional. Además, el aumento de costos de producción en China también posiciona a México como un socio comercial atractivo que posee la posibilidad de iniciar operaciones relacionadas con productos similares a los provenientes de Asia. Las reestructuraciones productivas y geográficas, que incluyen procesos de deslocalización y el retorno significativo de la producción a los países de origen (relocalización de empresas y divisiones), imponen la necesidad de considerar el rol que desempeñará México en el cambiante contexto geopolítico y económico.
Effect of Adverse Childhood Experiences on Marital Status and the Mediating Role of Early Maladaptive Schemas
Authors: Ekşi Hazal , Gündüz Anıl , Gündoğmuş İbrahim
Published: December 2024

Objective: The present study aimed to analyze the effect of adverse childhood experiences (ACE) on marital status in adulthood and whether there is a mediating role for early maladaptive schemas (EMS).
Method: The study was conducted with 304 volunteer participants. The participants were administered the Sociodemographic Data Form, the Adverse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire (ACE-Q), the Young Schema Questionnaire Short Form-3 (YSQ), and the Golombok Rust Inventory of Marital State (GRIMS). A multivariate structural equation model was constructed for the purpose of statistical evaluation and subsequently subjected to route analysis for testing.
Results: The average age of participants was 44.31 ± 12.09 years, with females comprising 59.2% (n=180) of the total. Based on GRIMS results, participants were categorized into two groups: those without marital problems (44.4%, n=135) and those facing marital issues (43.8%, n=133). Significant statistical differences were observed between the groups regarding marriage duration and reasons. Additionally, substantial variations existed between groups across ACE subscales such as emotional deprivation, failure, pessimism, social isolation/mistrust, emotional inhibition, enmeshment/dependency, abandonment, and defectiveness. ACE-Q score emerged as an independent predictor of marital problems (OR: 1.403, 95% CI: 1.209–1.628). Adverse childhood experiences not only directly impacted marital status but also indirectly influenced it through YSQ mediation.
Conclusion: The study underscores ACE's predictive role in marital problems, with EMS mediating the relationship between ACE and marital status. These findings suggest a link between marital issues and both ACE and EMS.

Authors: Mityusheva Tat'yana
Published: December 2024

In the area of the Yaneytyvis deposit of mineral waters on the Chernov Ridge, three groups of springs with mineralization of 2.3–3.0 g/l and surface waters were tested. The mineral water deposit, the largest in terms of proven reserves in the Arctic zone of Russia, is not exploited. The mineral waters of the springs of the subcryogenic Lower Carboniferous aquifer complex are weakly alkaline, low-mineralized, calcium-sodium chloride. A change in the anionic composition of the waters (a decrease in the proportion of sulfate ion) was established with a constant Cl Ca hydrochemical type. The first data were obtained on the isotopic composition of the mineral waters of the Yaneytyvis springs (D –111.9...–109.2 ‰ (SMOW), 18O –15.78...–15.15 ‰ (SMOW), values are close to the thermomineral waters of the springs on the Pymvashor River on the Chernyshev Ridge. Various types of water participate in the formation of the composition of the mineral waters of the springs: fresh waters of modern atmospheric precipitation formed in cold climates and melt waters from degrading permafrost, as well as salty chloride-sodium waters of marine (mixed) genesis of the aquifer complex of carbonate deposits of the Lower Carboniferous. Surface waters of the Bolshezemelskaya tundra in the area of the springs have a diverse composition (HCO3 Ca–Mg, HCO3–Cl Ca–Na, Cl Na–Ca, Cl–HCO3 Mg), their pollution with microelements of natural and technogenic origin has been established.

Published: December 2024

Psychological factors, fear, and anxiety are often responsible for prolonged delivery length, with 58% of primigravida women experiencing anxiety and 2-4% feeling pain scored between 30 – 40 out of 50 Hypnopressure (HP)  is a combination of hypnotherapy and acupressure on the san yin jiao point (Sp6) and hegu point (Li4) 20 times in 3-5 seconds during the first stage of labor contractions.. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of HP on Hegu (Li4) and Sanyinjiao (Sp6) points in reducing anxiety level and pain degree during the active phase of the first delivery stage among primigravida women The design used was a double-blind randomized pre-test and post-test controlled trial, which included 80 subjects. To compare the effects of different interventions and determine which particular intervention is more effective, they were divided into groups. Hypnopressure (HP), hypnotherapy (HA), acupressure (AK), and control (K), each consisting of 20 individuals.The treatment interventions were conducted in the active phase of the first delivery stage, followed by Wilcoxon and Kruskal Wallis statistical tests. The treatment groups of HP (p=0.000), HA (p=0.000), and AK (p=0.002) experienced decreasing anxiety levels. Kruskal Wallis post-test results (after treatment) showed a significant difference (p = 0.000), where HA had the lowest decrease in anxiety compared to the other three groups. Additionally, the degree of delivery pain (p=0.000) was lower in the HP group (4.00±1.496) than in the other three groups. There was a significant difference between the four treatment groups (p=0.000), with HP subjects experiencing lower pain than HA (p=0.000), AK (0.000), and K (p=0.000), suggesting that HP treatment could decrease the level of anxiety and delivery pain degree.

Published: December 2024

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that symmetrically damages the synovial membrane, affecting approximately thirteen percent of the global population. Systemic complications and substantial declines in quality of life may ensue from untreated RA. This study investigates the safety and efficacy of moxibustion and ozoralizumab in reducing disease activity scores in RA patients. Between July and November 2023, we performed an extensive search across four online databases (PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, and ProQuest) utilizing keywords, reference searches, and other methodologies in alignment with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The obtained randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have been assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 Risk of Bias Tools (ROB2). MetaInsight version 5.2.1 was employed to conduct this indirect network meta-analysis, which employed mean difference (MD) as summary statistics. This study demonstrated that ozoralizumab had a more significant effect on rheumatoid arthritis than placebo, as measured by DAS28 (MD=-1.88; 95% CI -2.24-(-1.52)) and moxibustion (MD=-0.69; 95% CI=-1.07-0.31). Ozoralizumab exhibited mild, moderate, and severe side effects, whereas moxibustion exhibited modest side effects compared to the placebo. In summary, ozoralizumab and moxibustion decreased DAS28 scores in rheumatoid arthritis patients, with ozoralizumab being the more effective treatment. Nevertheless, the adverse effects of ozoralizumab were more diverse than those of moxibustion.

Authors: Mia Ratwita Andarsini  , - Regina Rania Cahya Kusumaningrum
Published: December 2024

Immune Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder triggered by antiplatelet autoantibodies. Without prompt treatment and close monitoring, the condition could worsen, potentially resulting in fatal consequences. Clinically, ITP is classified into three phases including Newly-Diagnosed ITP, Persistent ITP, and Chronic ITP, each with distinct durations and therapy implications. In ITP patients, platelet counts decrease, accompanied by abnormal shifts in platelet indices, including Mean Platelet Volume (MPV), Platelet Distribution Width (PDW), Platelet Large Cell Ratio (P-LCR), and Plateletcrit (PCT). Thus, therapeutic response in ITP patients can be evaluated through increased platelet counts and normalization of platelet indices. This study aimed to assess the therapeutic response of platelet counts and platelet indices in pediatric ITP patients by comparing pre- and post- therapy levels. This retrospective study included ITP patients under 18 years old at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, conducted from September 2023 to March 2024. Platelet count and platelet indices pre- and post-therapy levels were analyzed using the Paired T-test for normally distributed data and the Wilcoxon test for non-normally distributed data, with significance set at p < 0.05. In summary, there were notable changes in the pre- and post-therapy levels of platelet, MPV, PDW, P-LCR, and PCT in each ITP category and for all therapies. Platelet count and PCT increased, while MPV, PDW, and P-LCR decreased. Patients treated with prednisone exhibited the best therapeutic response. Among the categories, Newly Diagnosed ITP demonstrated the most optimal therapeutic response. Overall, ITP therapy led to significant differences between pre- and post-therapy levels, marked by an increase in platelet counts and normalization of platelet indices.

У статті наведено результати досліджень впливу режимів тонкого суперфінішування брусками з синтетичних алмазів на формування параметру шорсткості Ra поверхонь зразків з нових антифрикційних композитів на основі промислових шліфувальних відходів силумінів — алюмінієвих сплавів АК7, АК12М2, АК21М2,5Н2,5, що призначені для оснащення вузлів післядрукарської техніки. Визначено вплив зернистості алмазних брусків, типу матеріалу зерна алмазу, типу зв’язки інструменту і основних режимів різання на параметри шорсткості Ra поверхонь оброблення силумінових композитів для деталей післядрукарських машин. суперфінішування виконувалось на прецизійному суперфінішному верстаті FR-250 фірми Foster (США), із застосуванням мастильно-охолоджуючи рідини. Для суперфінішування використовувались алмазні бруски на основі мікропорошків синтетичного алмазу (АС) зернистістю 40, 28, 20, 10, 7 та 3 мкм. Як зв’язка застосовувались металеві зв’язки М2-01, М2-08, керамічні К3-01, СК4 та органічні зв’язки В2-01 і В2-07. Встановлено, що зі зменшенням зернистості суперфінішних алмазних брусків (3‒40 мкм) параметри шорсткості Ra поверхні оброблення зменшується. Показано, що зі збільшенням швидкості обертання деталі Vд та швидкості поздовжньо-зворотних переміщень Vп.з. суперфінішного алмазного бруска вздовж осі зразка шорсткість поверхні оброблення погіршується (параметр Ra зростає на 10‒15 %). Цей факт пов’язаний з інтенсифікацією режимів різання у відповідності до загальних положень теорії абразивного оброблення. Мінімальні параметри шорсткості Ra поверхневої зони оброблення, які забезпечують задоволення вимог до якості поверхонь тертя післядрукарських машин, можуть бути отримані при застосуванні дрібнозернистих брусків з алмазів синтетичних (АС) зернистістю 3‒7 мкм на органічній зв’язці та при застосуванні наступних технологічних режимів різання при алмазному суперфінішуванні: швидкість обертання деталі Vд = 80‒120 м/хв; швидкість поздовжньо-зворотних переміщень бруска Vп.з. = 0,5‒1,0 м/хв; питомий тиск брусків q0 = 0,9‒1,1 МПа, амплітуда коливань брусків А = 3,0‒5,0 мм; інтенсивне застосування мастильно-охолоджуючої рідини. Отримані результати досліджень з надтонкого алмазного суперфінішування нових видів композитів на основі шліфувальних відходів силумінів для антифрикційних деталей дозволяють істотно поліпшити стабільність і надійність роботи вузлів тертя післядрукарської техніки завдяки можливості отримання високих параметрів шорсткості поверхонь композитних деталей.

Одним з різновидів акцидентної продукції є маркована та філателістична продукція. В Україні популярності набула послуга «Власна марка» від «Укрпошти». Це можливість виготовити марковий аркуш, конверт або поштову картку з власним дизайном. Наклади такої продукції, як правило, є одиничними або незначними. Таким чином, постає необхідність визначення оптимального способу цифрового друку, здатного ефективно забезпечити виготовлення персоналізованої маркованої продукції.
Для проведення дослідження обрано марковані аркуші, які пропонує «Укрпошта». Матеріал — крейдований гумований марковий папір масою 102 г/м2 форматом 220×154 мм.
Розроблено тестову форму, що буде враховувати всі особливості макетів, які притаманні маркованій продукції. Тестова форма розроблена, базуючись на вимогах стандарту та показниках якості, визначених для оцінки відбитків, отриманих цифровим способом друку. Для друкування відбитків обрано обладнання різних технологій друку: лазерна, струминна, УФ струминна.
Опрацювання відбитків виконано за допомогою мікроскопу Levenhuk DTX 90, вимірювання на дрібних ділянках — Sigeta Biogenic lite 40x-1000x LED Bino. Для аналізу колірних та градаційних характеристик на відбитках використано спектрофотометр X-Rite SpectroEye. Усі виміри колірних показників виконувалися із врахуванням кольору паперу.
Проведено візуальний аналіз відбитків, отриманих на всіх типах обладнання. На аркушах маркового паперу, задрукованих на принтері Epson Artisan 1430, розтіклися чорнила, кольори ненасичені, виворітний текст не відтворено. Тому ці зразки не враховувалися при подальших вимірюваннях та аналізі.
При аналізі відбитків, задрукованих на Mimaki UJF-3042FX, виявлено чітко виражені горизонтальні смуги, які помітні неозброєним оком і псують загальний зовнішній вигляд. Отже можна зробити висновок, що струминна технологія друку та УФ-друк не підходить для формування зображень на маркованому папері.
Підсумовуючи результати дослідження колірних характеристик відбитків, а саме: показника яскравості, колірної різниці та колірного тону, можна зробити висновок, що усі досліджувані відбитки мають недоліки у тих чи інших ділянках. Чорний колір відтворюється дещо світлішим на всіх зразках паперу. На відбитках, отриманих на Konica Minolta bizhub c224e, показники колірної відмінності є вищим порівняно з Xerox Versant 180 Press.
Досліджувані відбитки на марковому папері, отримані на Xerox Versant 180 Press відтворюються найбільш наближено до еталонних значень контрольних полів.
За результатами проведених досліджень, можна зробити висновок, що досліджуваний гумований марковий папір цілком придатний для виконання одиничних персоніфікованих замовлень електрографічним способом друку.
Alternate mutation modalities in models of population dynamics
Authors: Bartlett Jonathan
Published: December 2024

Most comprehensive simulations of population dynamics use origin-fixation approaches to modeling mutations, specifically modeling mutation using the framework of the modern synthesis. However, modern advances in understanding mutations have brought into focus new modalities of mutation that do not fully align with this vision of population dynamics. These other modes of mutation, such as cyclical mutation, have not so far been represented in models of population dynamics despite representing a significant fraction of mutations that occur in vivo. Problematic results of current attempts to create total models of population dynamics may be due to this incompleteness. In addition, we will present how a cyclical mutation modality can be modeled in population dynamics and how this can, at least partially, resolve problematic long-term trends predicted by current comprehensive simulations.

Authors: S Kuswanth , D Kavyasri , P Mahesh , K Samatha , M P Rao
Published: December 2024

This research paper focuses on the synthesis and characterization of Cu-doped Mg-Co ferrites with varying compositions (Mg0.6-xCo0.4CuxFe2O4, where x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3) using a solid-state reaction method. This paper also investigates the structural, morphological, magnetic, and electrical characteristics of synthesized Mg0.6-xCo0.4CuxFe2O4, where x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique confirms the ferrites spinel structure in the Fd-3m space group, with average crystallite sizes ranging from 57.29 to 48.57 nm. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy verifies chemical and structural changes, while scanning electron microscopy (SEM) reveals cubic crystal growth with an average grain size of 1 to 1.5 μm. DC electrical resistivity decreases with increasing temperature and Cu2+ substitution, ranging from 1.4 x 106 Ω-cm to 6.7 x 105 Ω-cm. The study suggests a correlation between resistivity and Cu2+ concentration. Magnetic behaviour, studied using a Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM), shows dependence on dopant concentration, with coercivity ranging from 157 Oe to 256 Oe. The results indicate potential applications in magnetic storage devices, antennas, transformers, and high-frequency electronics.

Published: December 2024

Building decarbonization is a major challenge for cities. Deciding what, when, and how to retrofit a building is difficult, given the complex interaction between energy costs and investment requirements. Several tools have been developed in the last years to help public and private stakeholders with these decisions, but none cover aspects the authors think are fundamental. For this reason, an urban building retrofit tool was developed and is presented in this article. This new tool is based on a bottom-up approach, with all buildings simulated individually, considering aspects such as shading or adjacencies. As a second step, three scenarios with different levels of ambition have been implemented in the tool, and the energy demand and emissions resulting from these scenarios have been calculated. As a third step, the retrofitting scenarios' initial investment and operational costs have been implemented via a detailed Life Cycle Costs (LCC) approach. The authors describe the robust and scalable structure that has been developed and the application of this structure to calculate the LCCs of different retrofitting scenarios in Montréal.

Published: December 2024

The cosmological parameters, specifically BCP(Baryon Cosmological Parameter (Telescopic Universe) )and DCP (Dark Cosmological Parameters (Lightless Universe)), are accelerating more apace than we expected. This accelerated our understanding of its functions in covariance to expansion parameters[1]. The Hubble tension is a long-familiar question in the exploration of cosmological parameters[2][3]. The measurement of the Hubble constant (H0), unveils a disparity in how apace the BCP and DCP[4]. Diametrical ways of measuring parameters yield various results, highlighting the realness that numerous questions in this domain remain unanswered[5][6]. This gap brings to light question regarding our existing cosmological parameters known(CDM) [7][8]. It suggests the necessity of incorporating new parameters, often referred to as the DPP(Dark Physics Parameters) method, to gain an understanding of the accelerated universe. This theory integrates a between the Hubble equation, both BCP and DCP are accelerating cosmological Hubble parameters. This integration pertains to how Cosmological Hubble parameters evolve across the past, present, and future dimensions. We propose that both BCP and DCP are influenced by stochastic variables in a diametrical domain characterized by dissent magnitude of matter. This theory's conjunctive mass term, volume term, and CHP provide a new perspective on BCP, specifically DCP and Hubble Tension. This theory discusses that the reevaluation of our current understanding of BCP and DCP is necessary to integrate this acceleration of Universe Expansion changes. This adjustment could help us understand one of the biggest mysteries in modern cosmology.

Published: December 2024

Wildfire is a key factor in regulating ecological processes in grassland ecosystems; however, changes in land use/cover have modified the intensity and frequency of fires as they occurred naturally. Different factors have caused a rise in woody vegetation in these ecosystems, leading to changes in species composition, diversity, and biogeochemical cycles. The prescribed burns are a tool for controlling and eradicating shrubs; however, their effectiveness depends on vegetation composition, biomass availability, and the objectives of restoration. We evaluate the effectiveness of fire as a shrub controller in a semiarid grassland ecosystem. We measured several shrub dasometric parameters and the percentage of damage in ten 2000 m² plots three months after a prescribed burning was performed. Both crown height and width and total height were the main variables that explained the percentage of shrub damage by fire. Individuals with a height greater than 1.6 m and wide crowns did not suffer damage. Moreover, even though 97% of the total shrubs presented some fire damage, 86% recovered after the rain period. Our results show that fire could be an effective strategy to control early-growing shrubs, but on overgrazed arid lands it would be difficult to have enough biomass for implementing burning programs.
