Sequential chemical extraction of copper from clay: an overview
Authors: Sion Alina , Ene Antoaneta
Published: February 2023

In general, the total content of heavy metals and trace elements in soils is useful, but the speciation (bioavailability) is also in need for agricultural purpose, for example. The present paper studies the efficiency of some soil remediation treatments on soils polluted, especially with copper, by using sequential chemical extraction (SCE). Usually, SCE is fractioned, according to Tessier, in five fractions: exchangeable, carbonate bound, Fe and Mn oxide bound, organic matter bound and residual. Copper (Cu) is one of the contaminants found in many soils around the world. In small concentration, it is an essential microelement for plants and organisms, but in high concentrations, it is harmful for the entire ecosystem. Because the concentrations of Cu are associated with soil texture and several other parameters, many remediation soil treatments are based on organic mixture, by converting the element into a less exchangeable form, and thus less bioavailable. In this study, the efficiency of organic amendments such as organic matter (OM), zero-valent iron with organic matter (OMZ), dolomite (DL) and organic matter with dolomite (OMDL) are investigated. These treatments were applied on soils affected by Cu pollution. The results indicated that OMDL and OMZ treatments had the best efficiency on Cu pollution, by enhancing the stability of the element, decreasing the level of bioavailability.

Published: February 2023

This study aims to examine and compare the performances of Random Forest (RF) and k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) algorithms used for classification based on certain geometric features. For the purpose of the analysis, the Breast Cancer Wisconsin (BCW) public dataset is used. BCW dataset contains features like area, perimeter, radius, compactness, and symmetry computed from 357 benign, and 212 malignant breast images, respectively. Three different experiments related to the size of training and testing datasets for classification are conducted and different accuracy values are obtained. The best accuracy of 91.9% for RF and 91.3% for kNN, respectively, are reached when 30% of the entire dataset is used as testing dataset. For all experiments, the RF classifier outperformed the kNN.

When it comes to pollutants in the aquatic environment, there is a wide variety of products, from fibers and plastics to food and medicinal compounds and their by-products. Pollutants have been an area of interest for decades and are becoming more popular with each passing year, whether their presence and effects are studied separately by class or in combination. Among all, polymeric materials are in the center of attention, and their presence in the environment has long been established with studies on their harmful effects. Improper disposal of pharmaceutical materials is just one of many ways that lead to their accumulation in water and soil. The worldwide spread in the environment of polymeric materials, as well as pharmaceutical pollutants is described by the literature, but also the effects of these two materials separately in terms of the behavior of zebrafish (Danio rerio). In this paper, we studied the "joint effect" of one polymeric material (polypropylene) and one pharmaceutical product (methionine - one of the essential aminoacids of the body, with antioxidant properties and multiple uses in the pharmaceutical field). Although we did not find many significant differences in terms of behavior, one aspect worth noting was the anxiolytic-like effect of microplastic on the social, and stress related behavior of zebrafish.

Published: February 2023

The monitoring of the Danube River water quality was performed by using a complex device including dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, redox potential (ORP) and temperature measurements, installed on a passenger cruise ship traveling between Tulcea and Sulina. This ship equipped with the water monitoring station served as a mobile device during the daytime cruise along the Sulina channel and as a fixed one when the ship was docking in Tulcea or Sulina ports, including the nighttime. The values of the Eh and rH revealed that apart from the assumed dissolved oxygen, other species of peroxide types are supposed to form in the natural water by complex biologic mechanisms.

Cardiac arrhythmias in children and young are presented in a broad spectrum, given the large and varied number of known arrhythmias. The incidence of pre-excitation syndromes in children ranges from 1:250 to 1:1000 [11].Our understanding of ventricular preexcitation began in 1921 when Wedd described an “intraventricular block and a PR interval of 0.08 ms.” [1] Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) was first described in 1930 as a bundle-Branch Block with Short P-R Interval. Moreover, the delta wave Wolff et al. described the presence of the delta wave on the EKG for the first time [2].Clinical manifestations in WPW are broad, ranging from recurring PSVT to SCD. The risk of developing the last condition in people with WPW syndrome is still unknown. However, multiple studies reveal that asymptomatic WPW has a low chance of SCD and a favorable prognosis [3-6]. Moreover, multiple studies present reasonable life expectancy in patients with WPW syndrome, even if they may present multiple episodes of PSVT [7-10].

Authors: Medeiros de Macedo Helder Alexandre
Published: February 2023

Fazendo ciência nos sertões: experiências e idealizações no Seridó é um livro decorrente de um conjunto de ações realizadas pelo Programa de Pós-Graduação em História do Centro de Ensino Superior do Seridó (CERES) da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (PPGHC-UFRN) com vistas a contribuir com a divulgação científica no semiárido, partindo das investigações desenvolvidas no âmbito do Curso de Mestrado em História dos Sertões. É resultado direto da primeira etapa das ações do projeto Sertões em foco: História e Educação Científica, aprovado originalmente no Edital 03/2020, da Fundação de Apoio à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte (FAPERN) – convocação de Programas de Pós-Graduação (PPGs) emergentes e em consolidação do Rio Grande do Norte a participarem do Plano de Desenvolvimento da Pós-Graduação da FAPERN. Após aprovado, passou a integrar o conjunto de projetos atrelados ao Edital nº 14/2021-FAPERN – apoio a programas de pós-graduação para o desenvolvimento científico do Rio Grande do Norte, com ênfase em educação científica, energias renováveis e Covid-19 e outros agravos à saúde, com recursos do Governo do Estado, compondo, desse modo, o Plano de Desenvolvimento da Pós-Graduação da FAPERN (2021-2025). O projeto Sertões em foco: História e Educação Científica tem como premissa suprir carências, no que diz respeito às ações de divulgação do conhecimento científico realizadas pelo PPGHC-UFRN. O programa mobiliza uma área de concentração em torno do domínio temático da História dos Sertões. Reforçamos, desse modo, a especificidade e a inovação dessa área de concentração, vez que é a primeira, no Brasil, a dedicar-se, explicitamente, ao campo da História dos Sertões enquanto um domínio investigativo. A proposta do projeto, assim, converge para a área prioritária da Educação Científica, campo da ciência que têm se dedicado à tarefa de compartilhar informações relacionadas à produção do conhecimento científico junto a indivíduos que não são, tradicionalmente, considerados como parte da comunidade universitária, por exemplo.

Una aproximación a las organizaciones de la sociedad civil del sur de Santa Fe que se manifiestan en contra de las fumigaciones:
Authors: Filippini María Laura
Published: February 2023

El actual modelo de desarrollo instalado en Argentina, denominado modelo extractivo exportador, se caracteriza por la implementación de prácticas agrícolas intensivas que requieren para su funcionamiento la fumigación de los campos con agroquímicos. Dichas prácticas han sido objeto de un intenso debate y, en los últimos años, han surgido organizaciones de la sociedad civil –en adelante, OSC– que se manifiestan en contra de las fumigaciones con agroquímicos argumentando que las mismas contaminan el medioambiente y dañan la salud de las poblaciones. En consecuencia, el objetivo del presente artículo es recuperar los resultados de una investigación finalizada en la que se describen dimensiones de las OSC del sur de Santa Fe, las cuales se manifiestan en contra de las fumigaciones. Para luego plantear nuevas líneas de investigación. También, se visibilizan valoraciones sobre la efectividad de los repertorios de acción colectiva (Tilly, 2002 citado en Svampa, 2009) utilizados por las OSC y los desafíos que éstas tienen por delante. Para describir las OSC, hemos recurrido a un abordaje cualitativo y descriptivo aplicando la técnica de la entrevista. Entre los resultados obtenidos se encuentra una caracterización tanto de los repertorios de acción colectiva utilizados por las OSC como de la formación y ocupación de sus integrantes.
Disputas simbólicas en torno al reconocimiento de la venta ambulante:
Authors: Trajtemberg Agustina
Published: February 2023

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar las disputas simbólicas por el sentido de la venta ambulante, es decir, por imponer la visión legítima de la actividad y definir las categorías de percepción de la misma. En la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, la venta ambulante es considerada como el ejercicio de una actividad ilegal y, por lo tanto, criminalizada. Sus trabajadores llevan adelante disputas por el sentido del trabajo y despliegan estrategias organizativas para garantizar el derecho a trabajar. El caso que tomamos para analizar es el de Vendedores Ambulantes Independientes de Once (en adelante, VAIO), una organización que forma parte de la economía popular, y que lucha para que su actividad sea reconocida y deje de ser criminalizada. La metodología adoptada es de tipo cualitativa, sostenida a partir de entrevistas a referentes y vendedores ambulantes de VAIO, observación participante en el local de la organización y en las calles de Once donde desarrollan su actividad laboral, y trabajo documental. Sostenemos que les vendedores ambulantes se autoperciben como trabajadores de la economía popular y de este modo buscan disputar las categorías de percepción, con el fin de hacer valer su ocupación como un trabajo legítimo.
En el asentamiento los cuerpos se velan a cielo abierto:
Authors: Fernández Gonzalo Juan José
Published: February 2023

La propuesta en este artículo es reflexionar sobre algunos trazos etnográficos de una experiencia de lucha y resistencia por el ejercicio de derechos fundamentales desandada con la comunidad del asentamiento 340-c, ubicada en la periferia de la ciudad capital de la provincia de Salta, Argentina. Interesa graficar, mediante estos pasajes textuales, la plasticidad y la resiliencia que tienen algunos sectores populares de reponerse a situaciones contingentes, condicionadas por la sobrevivencia a la pobreza absoluta. Dichos aspectos deben pensarse como un continuum que entrelaza luchas-modos de vida en la marginalidad, amalgamadas a procesos culturales por los que transitan las poblaciones más pobres de entre los pobres, destacando como trasfondo una serie de variables condicionantes entre las que se encuentran: las condiciones hiperdegradadas del ambiente, las limitaciones del acceso a servicios públicos, y la segregación social que padecen. La metodología cualitativa sustenta nuestra perspectiva, en tanto que articulamos modos de codificación de bitácoras etnográficas y auto-etnográficas plasmadas en cuadernos de campo. La construcción de nuestro relato está matizada por una modalidad de escritura transgresiva, que articula aportes de la filosofía política, las ciencias sociales y la literatura.
Donanma Unsurlarının Afetlere Müdahalede Kullanımı
Authors: DÜDÜKCÜ Yalçın , UTKUCU Murat
Published: February 2023

Donanmalar tarihi misyonları gereği bir ülkenin güvenliğini sağlamak, çıkarlarını korumak ve oluşturdukları politikalarının uygulanmasına yardımcı olmak için hazır tutulan birliklerdir. Ülkeler milyonlarca dolar harcayarak, çeşitli özellikte ve büyüklükteki gemiler yapmış, yaptığı bu gemileri yüzdürmek ve gerekirse savaşmak için bulundurmak zorunda olduğu personel ile oluşturdukları bu güç unsurunu stratejik bir şekilde ve insancıl bir çerçevede kullanmaya başlamıştır. Savunma misyonuna ek olarak, donanmalar son 50 yıldır kritik afet dönemlerinde artan sayıda insani yardım misyonu üstlenmişlerdir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, herhangi bir felaket durumunda müdahalede bulunabilecek donanmaların rolünü değerlendirmektir. Bu bağlamda, seçilmiş ülkelerin donanmaları ve özellikle Türk Donanması irdelenmiştir. Daha sonra, afet dönemlerinde donanmaların kullanımına ilişkin örnekler, savaş gemilerinin genel özellikleri ve afete müdahale ve insani yardım operasyonlarında tercih edilen donanma gemileri incelenmiştir. İnsani yardımda uçan unsurların donanmaya yaptığı katkılar da incelenmiştir. Donanmaların afetler sonrası faaliyetlerinin özellikle müdahale/arama-kurtarma dönemi ile ilişkili olduğu görülmüştür. Son olarak, Türk Deniz Kuvvetleri'nin dünyadaki bu misyon değişikliğine hangi düzeyde adapte olduğu sorgulanmıştır.
The Occupied Marginal Space and Rebuilding Memory in the North Moroccan Novels
Authors: Elaimari Said , Hjjij Elhassan
Published: February 2023

This article aims to explore the patterns marking the occupied marginal space in Mohamed Ankar’s novel “Barrio Málaga” from an aesthetic and artistic perspective that tracks the role of memory in shaping the occupied marginal space and reveals its realistic connotations and its sociological and ideological dimensions without digging deep into the historical aspects of the Spanish colonial period in the North of Morocco. Furthermore, the article seeks to highlight the historical dimensions of the novel from an interpretive perspective that considers the novel as a mirror reflecting another untold history, which is the history of the margin and its people as shaped in the memory, which is a mechanism for storing and rereading perspectives and attitudes according to a perceptual process that goes beyond the obsession of laying emphasis on the colonizer and the forms of resistance to its occupation and aims at highlighting the roles of this space in exposing the aspects of authoritarianism, oppression and injustice of the colonizer. Accordingly, the research findings reaffirm that both identifying the aspects of the marginal space in this novel and highlighting its working mechanisms and role in providing an imaginary portrayal of this space are likely to contribute to rebuilding the memory and identifying the aspects of correlation between the realistic and the imaginary to identify the symbolic and cultural connotations behind taking the margin as a framework for building an indicative process based on the space, which is not separate from the other narrative elements marking the narrative discourse.
Portraying the Arab Intellectual in Visual Media: A Sociological Analysis of the Plastic Artist’s Identity in Shaghaf TV Series
Authors: Baker Mohammed Al-Abbas Mohammed
Published: February 2023

This research aims to explore the socio-visual possibilities of artistic identity through Arab media. It focuses on the “Shaghaf” series, a drama show that was podcasted during Ramadan month 2020. This paper critiques several visual elements, the first element is the image of the plastic artist, the second is the fourth dimension that consists of time, space, and movement and the third element is the representations of social reality and its psychosocial dilemmas. Furthermore, this paper negotiates dramatic intersections within the literature that discourses the Death of Art and the Death of Author by postmodern philosophies. The present critique deconstructed the aesthetic approaches integrated within the unit of analysis, which is the artists’ identity. This identity transforms through a symbolic duality between latent and manifest representations in the public versus private social spaces. The research discussed the critical need to manage the cultural content in the media as well as to focus on the positive role of the artist in society. The present paper resists stereotyping less privileged people of physical/social/psychological needs, and any exclusionary content in media that defines them as socially unfamiliar. Finally, this paper is significant because it focuses on the woman artist's identity as a social construction in the Arab media, as women artists are underrepresented in visual media in general. Furthermore, Art Sociology, as an approach in Fine Arts Studies, presented an advancement in the specialty and does not exclude the philosophies of Aesthetics and Art History but rather conceptualizes theories with qualitative and quantitative methodologies.

Metaphor between Arabic Tradition and Modern Western Studies
Authors: Aljarah Amer
Published: February 2023

This research compares Arabic traditional study; which defines metaphor as stylistic and avant-garde art whose main goal is beauty and attraction; and it is subject to principles and requirements of claim when interpreted, according to Abd al-Qaher al-Jarjani, and modern Western cognitive study; which is devoted to studying metaphor to proclaim mechanisms of interpreting it. This can be found in the pragmatic study which is adjudicated as a theory for reading and interpreting with the case of Sirl. This also can be discernible in the epistemological study that defines metaphor as a mental process based on the interaction between language and thought, as is the case of Richards. So, in the modern western study, metaphor involves useful, pragmatic, and cognitive values, with attention to some Arabic traditional perspectives that include pragmatic and cognitive connotations. We seek to focus on metaphor functions and manifestations as well as methods of rooting and interpreting them.
Nonlinguistic Presupposition in Literary Translation: A Trend towards Dehistoricising, Deideologising and Depoliticising the Original
Authors: Abualadas Othman
Published: February 2023

This paper explores nonlinguistic (cultural) presupposition in Kilpatrick’s English translation of Ghassan Kanafani’s Arabic novel Men in the Sun. The goal is to see if the English translation (under the impact of global English) shifts the sociocultural knowledge presupposed in the original and thus alters its political and ideological messages. The analysis reveals a trend to lose nonlinguistic presupposition via translation, which is associated with the translator’s tendency to re-contextualize, thus domesticating or neutralise the original message to the Western audience. However, this has come at the expense of dehistoricising, deideologising and depoliticising the original, leading to a more culturally/contextually universal translation that seems to be drifted into the more dominant and valued Anglo-American and European cultures. These changes could be related to Kilpatrick’s lack of information, or interest, in the decades-long struggle between Israelis and Palestinians, so a neutral stance may have sounded a safer option to her. It could also be related to her belief that Kanafani’s novel should not be politicised, instead focusing our attention more on its plot structure and characters. Personally, I am of the opinion that Kilpatrick has created a more contextually homogenised text only to maintain relevance to a widely diverse audience.
The Impact of US Pressure on Saudi Arabia to Achieve Political and Security Reforms (2009-2016)
Authors: Alhilaly Ali
Published: February 2023

The purpose of the current study is to examine Saudi political reforms from 2009-2016. These reforms came as a result of continued US pressure post-September events in order to change its conservative policy in many files such as Institutional reform, the violation of human rights, and effectively participating in combating terrorism and extremism, where it was accused of supporting terrorism post-September events. The Saudi political system did not put the issues of political reform on the list of its priorities pre-September events, and the details of these issues were not subject to US pressure compared to the rest of the other files such as oil, and military, commercial and economic cooperation. The importance of the study stems from the fact that it is going to be one of these few studies that have focused on the file of political reforms in Saudi Arabia in detail. That could be considered as an addition to the existing literature on this subject. The study has used a systems analysis approach. It is one of the most widely intellectual frameworks in studying the internal or external political activity of any country. The study concludes that the US pressure under the Obama administration led to accelerating political reforms and human rights in Saudi Arabia

Authors: Taani Aymen , Al-Husban Yusra
Published: February 2023

This paper investigates multi-temporal land surface temperature (LST) for large ungauged areas of Ma’an Governorate, Jordan, based on changes in normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) using remotely sensed data. Five mosaic images were taken for both the 1990 and 2018 years by Landsat 5 (TM) and Landsat 8 (OLI) (path/row, 174/36- 174/37). These were used as the basic data source, where most of Ma’an Governorate has no meteorological stations. The five-mosaic images for both Landsat 5 and Landsat 8-OLI were taken in September. LST and NDVI maps have been generated to determine the changes in LTS during the monitoring period. The results showed that the minimum value of LST increased by 4°C, and the mean surface temperature increased nearly by 2°C between 1990 and 2018. The average LST has been rising at a rate of 0.071°C/y.
A Linguistic Analysis of Humor Related to COVID-19 in Jordanians Hashtags
Authors: Ali Sukayna , Abu Faraj Bushra
Published: February 2023

This study explores Jordanians’ hashtags related to COVID-19 that aim at creating a sense of humor on Facebook. To achieve the aim of this research, a sample was collected randomly from the Facebook posts based on four popular hashtags that had been widely used among Jordanian society since the outbreak of COVID-19 until the present day. The hashtags selected for this study are "all humanity," "dried and died," "bats’ Sajiyeh" and “I will let my father interfere”. The results of the study reveal that Jordanians mostly use these hashtags to create humor rather than to convey news stories. The results also show that Jordanians commonly use two types of humor: language-based and reference-based. In the first type, they use linguistic devices that include phonological, syntactic, and semantic aspects. In contrast, in reference-based humor, some cultural and religious references were employed.

Published: February 2023

The mechanism of furrow opener-soil interaction plays an important role in analyzing the process of no-till planting furrow opener. In order to study the disturbance effect of the furrow opener on the loam soil, firstly, the three-dimensional model of the furrow opener was established by using SolidWorks. Secondly, the 3D discrete element model of furrow opener-soil interaction was established by EDEM software. Combined with the indoor soil bin test bench and high-speed camera technology, the micro-disturbance and macro-disturbance behavior of the furrow opener on soil at different positions, speeds and operating depths were compared and analyzed. The results showed that, the disturbance range of soil was decreased with the increase of the distance between the furrow opener and the soil. At different locations, the disturbance range of soil from large to small was the surface layer, the shallow layer and the middle layer. Under the conditions of three different layouts of furrow openers, through the comparison of the soil trench test and the simulation test, it was determined that the furrow openers in a staggered layout would be beneficial to reduce the degree of soil disturbance. In the trenching process, the soil movement velocity was decreased with the increase of the distance between the soil and the furrow opener, and the distribution curves of the same-speed soil particles were basically consistent with the curves of the furrow opener. The average velocities of soil particles with different velocities and depths in different directions were the surface layer, the shallow layer and the middle layer. However, there were differences in the maximum velocities of soil particles in different directions.

Authors: NOVIKOVA Olga , ZALOZNOVA Yuliya ZALOZNOVA , AZMUK Nadiya
Published: February 2023

The article presents the authors’ original classification of the factors that influence the creation and development of human capital. The suggested classification combines the factors of internal and external human capital environment into pairs and identifies global vectors that guide their development. The analysis results are used as the basis for the systematization of gains and losses of Ukraine’s human capital that allows the authors to determine the potential opportunities and threats for its recovery. The systems approach is employed to identify the factors of human capital formation, development and preservation using the results of SWOT-analysis. Consequently, the authors develop a conceptual framework for building a strategy of the post-war recovery of human capital in Ukraine taking into account the advantages of digitalization. The authors identify three major dimensions within which they propose to implement the main strategic directions of human capital recovery in Ukraine during the post-war period and specify the features of each strategic direction in the context of suggested dimensions.

Published: February 2023

The current emergency response for substance users experiencing homelessness is not adapted to their needs. This has led to the revolving door phenomenon and to issues of collaboration between involved organizations. This study aims to demonstrate the relevance from the participants’ perspective of: 1) the World Café; 2) the deliberative democratic evaluation; and 3) combining these two methods as part of a qualitative study aimed at improving emergency response to substance users experiencing homelessness in Montreal. Thirty-four people participated in an intersectoral World Café guided by the principles of deliberative democratic evaluation. Twenty-three participants responded to a questionnaire regarding their satisfaction, effects of their participation, and adherence to the principles of deliberative democratic evaluation (inclusion, dialogue, and deliberation). We performed descriptive statistics and a thematic content analysis. Ultimately, the respondents were satisfied with the activity and several said they gained new knowledge and improved their network. Roughly half of the participants shared that their participation influenced their representations and their future practices. Our findings suggest that combining deliberative democratic evaluation and World Café is relevant to providing rich qualitative data, gaining systemic insight, and having an impact on our communities (e.g., improving intersectoral collaboration, professional’ attitudes and practices).

Melalui metode penilitan observasi dan wawancara, terbentuklah sebuah konsep yang dapat disimpulkan sebagai “Warm Exclusivity“ yang jika diterjemahkan secara langsung memiliki arti “Kehangatan Ekslusif“. Dengan konsep ini, media yang akan dirancang adalah logo beserta GSM (Graphic Standard Manual), media sosial dan kemasan sebagai media utama dan paper bag, stationery, flyer, apron, papan nama dan website sebagai media penunjang.
