Suppression of the superfluid Kelvin-Helmholtz instability due to massive vortex cores, friction and confinement
Authors: Caldara Matteo , Richaud Andrea , Capone Massimo , Massignan Pietro
Published: September 2024

We characterize the dynamical instability responsible for the breakdown of regular rows and necklaces of quantized vortices that appear at the interface between two superfluids in relative motion. Making use of a generalized point-vortex model, we identify several mechanisms leading to the suppression of this instability. They include a non-zero mass of the vortex cores, dissipative processes resulting from the interaction between the vortices and the excitations of the superfluid, and the proximity of the vortex array to the sample boundaries. We show that massive vortex cores not only have a mitigating effect on the dynamical instability, but also change the associated scaling law and affect the direction along which it develops. The predictions of our massive and dissipative point-vortex model are eventually compared against recent experimental measurements of the maximum instability growth rate relevant to vortex necklaces in a cold-atom platform.

Glehwe, called in Western jargon Ouidah, is a tourist town in the Republic of Benin, occupies a lagoon site, preceded by a sandy coastline that borders the Atlantic Ocean. The city is located 42 kilometers west of Cotonou. The city belongs to the historico-cultural triangle Abomey-Ouidah-Porto-Novo composed of three cities heavily involved in the slave trade, endowed with one of the most important pre-colonial architectural heritage in sub-Saharan Africa. At the heart of this city, there is Vodun and therefore the Hunkpame, one of whose connotations is Zun. It is a question here of carrying out an inventory of fixtures of mimicry in rural sociology opposed to a city-dwelling reserved for an urban sociology of Ouidah. The methodological approach adopted is purely qualitative, which satisfied the requirements for the construction and use of data collection tools: observation guide, interview guide and this, with 48 social actors formed from the sampling technique that is reasoned choice. The data collected converge on a certain number of codes with social cognitive sounds, all aspects of which remain to be determined in Glehwe: rituals of the yam.

Proverbs and sayings are a form of verbal art. They enhance the appeal of speakers, singers, and authors, making them more intriguing and relatable by facilitating a stronger connection with their audiences or readers. Proverbs and sayings are powerful tools for sharing knowledge due to their interesting, relatable, and culturally meaningful nature. Although they are different, most of them are similar. One of the only epic works of the Bodos, GibiBithai, has a large number of folklore elements. GibiBithai is a verse relating to Bathouism, and there are many good examples of proverbs and sayings in various chapters. These are closely related to Bathouism and Bodo society. The study has been done through descriptive analysis with a close reading method. In GibiBithai, the author BihuramBoro has used proverbs and sayings to enhance the quality of the epic or to make it attractive to the recipients or the reader. These are often said in a tricky or indirect way to make you think and help you understand. These are like wisdom puzzles that you have to think about to solve. The proverbs and sayings of the GibiBithai are collected and gathered from the Bodo society prevalent among them. These are mostly related to their daily conversations and different situations. They serve as timeless guidelines for navigating numerous elements of life and making ethical decisions. BihuramBoro has employed proverbs and sayings to improve the quality of his work by making it more appealing to the receivers or readers. Furthermore, by documenting these in the book, many forgotten and endangered proverbs and sayings have been brought back to life.

Published: September 2024

The outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020 has caused a crisis in various sectors, including the economic sector. In fact, its impact on the performance of Islamic banks in the ASEAN region is currently still unknown. Therefore, this study aims to obtain empirical evidence regarding the effect of COVID-19 on profitability performance and maqashid sharia performance in Islamic banks in the ASEAN region. Profitability performance is measured by return on equity (ROE) and return on assets (ROA). The number of observations from this study was 202 with a sample of 30 Islamic commercial banks in the ASEAN region in 2015–2021. The data analysis technique used is EViews 12. The results show that COVID-19 has no significant effect on profitability performance in Islamic banks, whether measured by ROE or ROA. On the other hand, COVID-19 has a significant effect on reducing the maqashid sharia performance. In addition, company size has been proven to positively affect profitability performance and maqashid sharia performance in Islamic banks before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Operating expense ratio (OER) has been proven to affect ROE and ROA, whereas FDR and non-performing financing (NPF) have been proven to only affect ROA. OER influences promoting welfare, while FDR and NPF influence establishing justice. The study results confirm the ability of Islamic banks to generate profits amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. They also confirm the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on three aspects of maqashid sharia performance.

Research on a zero water consumption operation model and feasibility for office buildings
Authors: Cheng Cheng li , Kawamura Sadahico , Chang Wei-Che
Published: September 2024

According to Taiwan's government policy on net zero emissions by 2050, building designs are moving toward zero energy and zero water consumption to achieve these goals. Among these goals, establishing an independent water cycle within building systems is a primary objective. The present study examined office buildings as the research subject due to their crucial water usage characteristics, which can serve as a reference for other building types. We developed a water-use estimation model by conducting a literature review and data collection from existing green office building cases in Taiwan. The methods involved calculating the median annual water consumption per unit building area and discussing the current water-saving design status and water-saving rate. The findings indicate a median water-saving rate of 53%, which is far short of the goal of achieving a zero water building. This finding is primarily attributed to the infrequent use of water compensation in building designs. The feasibility of a zero water building is validated and determines its crucial operation. Consequently, design engineers can employ this methodology to compute water conservation rates for their designs, aiming for the construction of a zero water consumption building.

Algal bioremediation using macroalgae is a promising approach to wastewater treatment. This study compared the productivity and bioremediation performance of the freshwater filamentous algal cultivars; Klebsormidium flaccidum, Oedogonium calcareum, and Oedogonium sp., in primary municipal wastewater in outdoor high-rate filamentous algal pond mesocosms. K. flaccidum had the highest biomass productivity (3.09 g dry weight m−2 day−1 ± 0.20 SE) and bioremediation performance, reducing total ammoniacal-N by 51% to 14.80 mg L−1 (± 0.81 SE), nitrate-N by 59% to 0.30 mg L−1 (± 0.02 SE), and dissolved reactive phosphorous by 15% to 3.52 mg L−1 (± 0.07 SE). This cultivar achieved the greatest reductions in total suspended solids (54%), carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand (93%), and chemical oxygen demand (74%). K. flaccidum and Oedogonium sp. reduced Escherichia coli by 98%. Competitive dominance of K. flaccidum and Oedogonium sp. was assessed in bicultures at three stocking densities. By day 12, K. flaccidum's proportion increased from 50 to 64% (± 6.1 SE) and 73% (± 5.0 SE) at a stocking density of 0.25 g and 0.5 g FW L−1, respectively. Based on superior biomass productivity, bioremediation performance, and competitive dominance, K. flaccidum was identified as a target cultivar for bioremediation of primary municipal wastewater.

The Science of Biochar Production: Understanding the Formation and Characteristics of Biochar
Authors: Sarfraz Rubab , Tayyab Muhammad , Shakoor Awais , Khan Tarin Muhammad Waqas , Sahar Iqra
Published: September 2024

Mineral fertilizers have been associated with the accelerated decomposition
of organic matter in the soil. This rapid decomposition primarily affects organic
materials such as plant residues and other organic substances present in the soil.
Biochar, produced by the pyrolysis of biomass, offers a sustainable solution to enhance
soil fertility and crop productivity. Biochar has a one of a kind potential to improve soil
health and counteract global climate change. Its distinct qualities, such as high carbon
content and the potential to promote soil health, make it an efficient, environmentally
friendly and cost-effective material for overcoming global food security and increasing
temperatures. Biochar can be produced using a variety of biomass materials and at
various temperatures, resulting in a wide range of variations in the final product.
Because of variations in its physicochemical attributes, such as microporosity, surface
area and pH, biochar can be customized for specific applications. The pyrolysis
temperature, heating rate, residence time, and biomass used during production all have
a strong influence on the structural configuration and elemental composition of
biochar. According to research, biochar produced at high pyrolysis temperatures has
high ash, phosphorus, and potassium concentrations. Furthermore, many important
macro and micronutrients, such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc, have been
found to be positively associated with increasing temperature. Biochar produced at low
pyrolysis temperatures, on the other hand, provides relatively more available nutrients
in the soil and can help to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Biochar produced at high
pyrolysis temperatures has a stronger affinity for organic contaminants due to its
increased surface area, hydrophobicity, microporosity, high pH, and low dissolved
organic carbon. It is important to note that the properties of biochar should be thoroughly assessed before application due to the wide variability of biomass
resources and pyrolysis conditions. Furthermore, biochar production should be tailored
to the intended application in soil to maximize its efficacy.

Sexual harassment is a criminal offense that can cause harm in the form of trauma or embarrassment to the family or society. Children as perpetrators of criminal acts of sexual harassment who are still underage, need to receive serious attention from all walks of life.This is done to improve the mindset of the perpetrators, teach the perpetrators to do good and help the perpetrators meet the prevailing standard of living. This study uses empirical legal research methods. There are internal, external, and other factors that contribute to children committing sexual harassment offenses. External factors include emotional power and age, external factors consist of education, environment, alcohol and drugs, economy, and the internet. Meanwhile, other factors that support children to commit crimes of sexual harassment are children's low understanding of religion and the absence of parental oversight. The study's findings indicate that, in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations, social counseling for child sexual harassment perpetrators has been working well and effectively. The absence demonstrates this repetition of criminal acts or recidivism. This happens because the process of guiding and supervising children who commit crimes of sexual harassment by social counselors has been running according to the rules that apply.

Published: September 2024

Thyroid hormones play an important role in the regulation of body weight, lipid metabolism and insulin resistance. Therefore, it is predictable that thyroid hormones may play an important role in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). In this study, we reviewed the all current research articles and literatures on the association between hypothyroidism (thyroid dysfunction) and NAFLD/NASH. In this study, we conducted a meta-analysis using a comprehensive search of PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trails till April 2019 for evaluating the relationship between hypothyroidism (thyroid dysfunction) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Sixteen studies were included in the present meta-analysis. The present meta-analysis provides strong epidemiological evidence for the relationship between hypothyroidism and NAFLD. Both individuals with sub-clinical hypothyroidism and overt hypothyroidism are at higher risk for NAFLD than euthyroid subjects.

The prepared formulations were evaluated for Clarity, pH, Viscosity, Bioadhesive strength of gel, Gel strength , Drug Content, In-vitro Drug Release Study,  Isotonicity Evaluation, HET-CAM Test and stability studies. The drug content was in the range of 97-99.57 %. Formulation F5 selected as optimized on the basis of evaluation. It shows highest drug release upto 8 hours. It shows good antihistaminic activity against Staphylococcus aureus. The optimized formulation was isotonic with blood cells. It passes sterility test. The optimized formulation passes the ocular irritancy test i.e. HET-CAM Test. The formulation kept for the stability study for 3 months. Short term stability study indicates that room temperature 400±20 was appropriate storage condition for formulations.

Este artículo ofrece una crítica transdiciplinaria a la abstracción capitalista de la “carbono-neutralidad” a partir de un análisis situado de la producción de energía para la gran minería de cobre y, recientemente, también de litio en la ciudad de Tocopilla (norte de Chile). Al examinar las transformaciones sociales y materiales gatilladas por la producción de energía para la gran minería durante el siglo XX, este trabajo problematiza dicha neutralidad demostrando cómo la reducción de emisiones corporativas de la gran minería en Chile opera a través de la producción de omisiones de carbón, a saber, a través de la omisión de los sedimentos tóxicos producidos por la combustión de varios combustibles que han generado lo que llamamos cenizas del Antropoceno. Para visualizar estos sedimentos, proponemos experimentar con una estratigrafía tóxica situada que revela los procesos históricos que precedieron la acumulación de cenizas sobre los sedimentos cuaternarios del acantilado costero, y que también explora los efectos actuales y futuros de la interacción entre estas capas. En última instancia, nuestro análisis situado en Tocopilla muestra cómo la carbono-neutralidad minera funciona como una abstracción con aspiraciones capitalistas que, al proponer discursivamente el desarrollo de transiciones energéticas, omite las transformaciones materiales y tóxicas desencadenadas por transiciones mineras.

The paper exploits ordered choice logit models with latent classes to account for unobservable consumer heterogeneity in analyzing the preferences for cashless payments in Japan for purchases of different sizes. Using the data of the Survey of Household Finance (2007–2020), we discover that consumers separate into classes of more and less frequent users of cashless payments for each category of purchases. The probability of belonging to the former class is positively related to the fact of consumer taking measures for the protection of their financial assets. The results reveal a statistically different effect of consumer socio‐demographic characteristics (sex, age, income, employment, education, household size), the binary variable for residence in a large city and Kanto region, and the dummies for 2019 and 2020 on the choice of cashless payments in the two latent classes.

This paper attempts to construct hedonistic price indices for the computer game market from 2007 to 2023. The peculiarity of the work is that we use hedonistic regressions that consider additional factors reflecting the consumer's reaction to the object of study. In the previous study, we considered only the parameters of the objects set by the manufacturer. Previously, we modelled prices assigned by the manufacturer at the time of game release, and the study period did not cover 2022 and 2023. This paper uses final product prices recorded at the data collection time, and the period captures 2023. Hedonistic regression cleared the time‐dependence of a price from the number of game characteristics and some game demand factors. However, there are unobservable hard‐to‐specify sets of characteristics, such as genre features or game mode. Calculating the outcomes of the described variables directly in the model equation is complex. At the same time, if we assume that they uncorrelation with the variables explicitly specified in the model equation, we can treat them as random effects of various kinds. It allows us to obtain efficient and perhaps even reasonable price index estimates. For building indexes, we use a standard hedonistic approach with temporary dummy variables, modified to allow for the random effects described above. We evaluate the constructed models using OLS and the simulation likelihood method. This approach identifies factors whose outcomes on prices differ significantly depending on which genres, modes and user audience scale groups the objects under consideration fall into. The final part of the study analyzes monthly data from 2020 to 2023 for a deeper examination of the effects following February 24, 2022. The indices based on annual data in the period 2007–2023 reflect key global economic events, which, at first glance, contradicts the opinion of gaming industry experts about the weak sensitivity of the gaming market to crises. However, the analysis conducted on monthly data makes it possible to verify that the gaming industry has a very high rate of adaptation to economic and political upheavals.

O estudo destaca como essas produções contemporâneas não apenas entretêm, mas também desempenham um papel crucial na disseminação da língua e cultura espanholas. Ao explorar o conteúdo das séries, o artigo destaca como elas refletem e incorporam elementos culturais, históricos e linguísticos, proporcionando aos espectadores uma imersão autêntica na realidade espanhola. Além disso, o texto destaca como as obras seriadas servem como ferramentas eficazes no ensino e aprendizado da língua espanhola como segunda língua, contribuindo para a expansão do alcance global da língua. Em resumo,  o artigo enfatiza a relevância das séries de ficção espanholas contemporâneas como veículos poderosos para a divulgação linguístico-cultural, destacando seu impacto positivo na promoção da língua espanhola e na criação de uma compreensão mais profunda da cultura espanhola em âmbito global. Por fim, ao analisar as obras seriadas, o artigo destaca como essas produções contemporâneas incorporam elementos culturais e linguísticos autênticos, oferecendo aos espectadores uma experiência imersiva na língua e cultura espanholas. Além disso, o texto explora como as séries podem contribuir significativamente para o desenvolvimento do bilinguismo, seja através da exposição constante à língua espanhola ou mesmo por meio de estratégias de ensino e aprendizagem específicas implementadas nas narrativas, quer com a associação do castelhano-catalão, ou com castelhano-português.
A escrita em gêneros digitais: motivações de erros ortográficos e do internetês em comentários da rede social Instagram

Published: September 2024

Neste trabalho, partindo de uma reflexão feita em Meireles et al. (2018), temos o objetivo de analisar, em comentários postados em uma rede social, casos de erros ortográficos e internetês. Buscamos aqui responder a dois questionamentos: (i) Quais formas encontradas em gêneros digitais caracterizam-se, de um lado, como erros ortográficos e, do outro, como instâncias da linguagem do internetês? (ii) O que motiva a ocorrência desses erros ortográficos e do internetês nos gêneros digitais? Como fundamentação teórica, baseamo-nos em Bortoni-Ricardo (2005, 2006), Cagliari (2005), Freitag e Fonseca e Silva (2006), Komesu e Tenani (2009), Barbosa (2016) e Simão (2022), entre outros estudos. Do ponto de vista metodológico, a nossa pesquisa é descritiva e tem caráter qualitativo. Como corpus, utilizamos 14 textos pertencentes à esfera digital, retirados da rede social Instagram e produzidos no ano de 2023. Com a análise, mostramos uma distinção entre os erros ortográficos decorrentes da influência da fala na escrita e da arbitrariedade da escrita (Bortoni-Ricardo, 2005, 2006) e as formas linguísticas que remetem ao que tem sido chamado de internetês (Freitag; Fonseca e Silva, 2006; Komesu;Tenani, 2009). Nossos resultados apontam que: (i) nos textos digitais examinados, há uma maior variedade de erros ortográficos motivados pela transposição da oralidade para a escrita; (ii) quanto ao internetês, ocorrem mais casos de abreviação em virtude de algumas propriedades funcionais dos gêneros digitais.
