Authors: Z. Alisoy Hafız , Alisoy Gülizar
Published: December 2024

Abstract—In this study, the reasons leading to the weakening
of the fields of charges settled on the dielectric are examined. It
should be noted that the representation of the gap model using
the equivalent circuit, as well as the values of and , is a
rather rough approximation to reality. On the basis of an analysis
of the two-dimensional equivalent circuit of the discharge gap
using the Green's function method for two cases: (i) The
centrally symmetric distribution in the form of a normal
Gaussian distribution; (ii) the periodic distribution of the density
of free charges, the causes of the weakening of the field of
charges on the dielectric are analyzed .

Identidades Profissionais no Brasil e em Moçambique:
Authors: Nhantumbo Hermínio Ernesto
Published: December 2024

Refletir sobre como os conceitos de Representações sociais, Habitus e Diferença cultural podem contribuir para olhar para a questão de identidade social/cultural/profissional/docente é o desafio desta produção discursiva. A mescla de contribuições teórico-metodológicas das teorias críticas e pós-críticas permite pensar a temática de identidade sob diferentes pontos de vista, trazendo algumas aproximações e distanciamentos quanto a sua (im)possibilidade. Trata-se de tomar alguns pontos documentais das políticas educacionais e/ou curriculares do Brasil e de Moçambique para averiguar até que ponto os currículos únicos têm a pretensão de homogeneizar sujeitos, em um contexto em que tentar “cristalizar” a identidade parece um projeto (im)possível. Enquanto uns defendem a constituição da identidade, outros propõem o conceito de identificação que permite a produção de sujeitos traduzidos e enunciados em uma constante diferença cultural.

Authors: Al-darraji Ahmed Rahmah
Published: December 2024

This study examines the thermal efficiency of solar air heaters (SAHs) including several absorber plate designs: smooth plates (SP), rectangular ribbed plates (RRP), and square ribbed plates (SRP). The heat transfer and airflow properties of these designs were investigated under controlled settings using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The investigated mass flow rate is 0.001 kg/s The RRP exhibited superior thermal efficiency, owing to improved turbulence and heat transfer with little pressure loss. The SRP, although augmenting turbulence, exhibited declining results owing to increased flow resistance. These findings underscore the importance of absorber plate design in enhancing solar air heater performance for sustainable energy applications.

Authors: Maldonado Bonilla Mariel Sofía
Published: December 2024

La fibrosis pulmonar idiopática (FPI) es una enfermedad progresiva y letal de etiología desconocida, cuyas opciones terapéuticas actuales generan efectos secundarios significativos y no logran revertir la pérdida funcional pulmonar. Este artículo explora los avances recientes en el desarrollo de tratamientos más efectivos, destacando tres enfoques innovadores: (1) fármacos que modulan las señales mecánicas de la matriz extracelular, esenciales para la progresión de la fibrosis; (2) terapias dirigidas a eliminar células senescentes o mitigar su impacto a través de senolíticos y senomórficos; y (3) nuevos compuestos en fase clínica, como un agonista del receptor de angiotensina II y un inhibidor de la vía Hedgehog, que han mostrado por primera vez mejoras en la función pulmonar con efectos secundarios mínimos. El artículo conecta estos avances terapéuticos con descubrimientos moleculares recientes, subrayando la importancia de comprender los mecanismos de envejecimiento celular, como la senescencia y la disfunción mitocondrial, en la patogénesis de la FPI. Asimismo, analiza cómo estos hallazgos pueden traducirse en opciones farmacológicas más seguras y efectivas. Al integrar perspectivas básicas y clínicas, el texto no solo aporta una visión comprensiva de la FPI, sino que propone nuevos horizontes terapéuticos enfocados en mejorar la calidad de vida de los pacientes. Este trabajo contribuye al diálogo científico sobre la enfermedad y sugiere caminos prometedores para la investigación y el tratamiento.
Maternidad y Universidad
Authors: Moura Ivana de Oliveira Eugênio de Souza
Published: December 2024

En Brasil, el espacio universitario se ha estructurado históricamente para satisfacer las demandas de un público específico, predominantemente masculino, excluyendo o limitando la presencia de las mujeres. Con la democratización del acceso a la universidad, las mujeres han superado esta barrera histórica. Sin embargo, investigaciones recientes revelan que, a pesar de la superación de las barreras iniciales para el acceso de las mujeres a la enseñanza superior, la ausencia de políticas de discriminación positiva que reconozcan la maternidad y sus especificidades —físicas y sociales— perpetúan formas sutiles de exclusión de estas “estudiantes no tradicionales” dentro de la universidad. Una investigación realizada con madres universitarias de la Universidad Federal de Río de Janeiro reveló la compleja relación entre maternidad y universidad, destacando cómo estas estudiantes se enfrentan a desafíos vinculados a estereotipos y normas sociales sobre el papel de las madres. La investigación expone cómo la reproducción de la violencia simbólica impacta en las dinámicas de permanencia y en los procesos de “afiliación” de las madres universitarias, exponiendo la urgencia de un amplio debate sobre la importancia de reconocer a estos sujetos a través de políticas de acción afirmativa.

Autopoiesis : Komunikasi dan Implementasi pada Era Modern dalam Perspektif Niklas Luhmann
Authors: Constantin Natasha , Sitorus Fitzerald
Published: December 2024

Gagasan Niklas Luhmann tentang komunikasi sebagai autopoiesis menafsirkan ulang komunikasi sebagai sistem otonom yang bersifat self-referential dan independen dari kognisi manusia. Studi ini menganalisis relevansi teori Luhmann dalam komunikasi digital modern, dengan fokus pada platform seperti media sosial dan teknologi algoritmik. Sistem-sistem ini memiliki karakteristik autopoietik, secara mandiri mengkurasi materi melalui umpan balik yang membentuk realitas unik alih-alih sekadar merepresentasikan fakta objektif. Platform digital mendobrak paradigma komunikasi linear konvensional dengan lebih menekankan pada logika operasional internal daripada faktor eksternal. Penutupan operasional ini menciptakan silo informasi yang terfragmentasi, membatasi kontak antar-sistem, dan membentuk ruang gema yang mengurangi eksposur terhadap pandangan alternatif. Studi ini menyoroti dampak sistem-sistem ini terhadap wacana publik dan norma sosial, menekankan perannya dalam mentransformasi pemahaman kolektif sesuai dengan teori Luhmann. Selain itu, studi ini menggunakan analisis literatur dengan pendekatan kualitatif dalam mengkaji efek sosial yang lebih luas dari komunikasi autopoietik, terutama kontribusinya terhadap terciptanya ekosistem informasi yang terisolasi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan dampak transformasi sistem referensial diri terhadap pandangan individu dan kerangka sosial, serta menegaskan pentingnya teori Luhmann dalam memahami kompleksitas komunikasi di era digital

Authors: Chen Junwei , Jun Jiang , Feng Yuqiang , Jiang Nan
Published: December 2024

As a mainstay industry of national economy, construction brings a country huge benefit, et along with significant amount of pollution to environment. In the age of sustainable development, green building (GB) can greatly reduce pollution caused by the construction industry. To study the evolution of stakeholders engaged in China’s green building implementation, this paper designed a three-party game model including government, developer, and consumer, analyzed the stability of the model and obtained the evolutionary stability strategy. This paper also used green building data in China to conduct numerical simulation, including sensitive analysis to explore key factors affecting the game subjects, and phase diagrams and bifurcation diagrams to analyze influence of parameter change to the evolutionary stabilization strategy (ESS). The results show that (1) in the long term, the government will choose the regulatory strategy when the cost of government regulation is below one-third of the financial subsidy; (2) the probability of developers and consumers choosing the green building strategy is negatively correlated to the cost and positively correlated to the benefit; (3) the primary determinant behind customers’ decision to purchase a green building revolves around the enhanced quality of life that such buildings offer.
Coupled Helmholtz resonators for broadband Aeroacoustic noise mitigation
Authors: Xiong Zixiang , Zhuang Xuxu , Sun Zhaoyong , Zhao Liuxian
Published: December 2024

As a structurally simple acoustic element, Helmholtz resonators can exhibit strong resonance when acoustic waves enter the cavity, thus providing excellent sound absorption effects. Consequently, they are widely applied in automotive engine and exhaust systems. This paper systematically investigates the noise reduction performance of multiple coupled Helmholtz resonators under conditions with and without tangential flow. A finite element simulation model with multiple Helmholtz resonators is established by employing COMSOL Multiphysics software to solve the linearized Navier-Stokes equations in the frequency domain. The simulation results demonstrate that the structure, which couples multiple Helmholtz resonators, can effectively broaden the low-frequency sound absorption band under the influence of a flow field, enhancing the transmission loss across the entire low-frequency band. This structure holds significant potential for applications in automotive exhaust systems and aero-engine noise reduction.

In the Rule of Law in Poland Action Plan, the Polish government outlined its approach to restoring the rule of law in the country. It might have been a good starting point for developing the concept of restoring the rule of law. However, it remains unsatisfying that, after so many years of discussing the collapse of the rule of law, more elaborate ideas for its restoration were not put on the table, and the Action Plan lacks concrete proposals.
Restoring the Rule of Law
Authors: Skóra Maria
Published: December 2024

Poland has become a real-time laboratory of rule of law restoration. The new government is faced with the fundamental question of how to tackle undemocratic reforms with legitimate, democratic measures. Avoiding obstruction by the affiliates of the outgoing regime and suppressing the desire for retribution by the injured parties presents the biggest challenge. Yet, the Polish government has a rare occasion to lead by example on how to solve the rule of law crisis not only by legal, but also political means.

Published: December 2024

Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) is a highly cross-pollinated plant, and the identification of insect visitors is critical for enhancing its production. A study was conducted in Baisjagar, Tanahun, Nepal, from March to April 2023 to assess the diversity and relative abundance of insect visitors to Litchi trees. The experiment involved the use of yellow sticky traps placed on five different Litchi trees, with two traps installed per tree on branches near the panicles. Readings were taken weekly over four weeks. A total of eighteen insect species from six orders and thirteen families were identified during the study. Among the recorded insects, the order Diptera was the most abundant, accounting for 51.12% of the total, and was represented by five families: Syrphidae, Sarcophagidae, Calliphoridae, Muscidae, and Tachinidae. This was followed by Hymenoptera (32.02%), Hemiptera (12.54%), Lepidoptera (2.24%), Coleoptera (1.31%), and Orthoptera (0.74%). The species Apis cerana was the most frequently recorded, with 108 individuals captured. The study highlights the importance of pollinators, particularly Diptera and Hymenoptera, in Litchi production. Effective management and conservation of these pollinating insects can help ensure successful pollination and fruit production. Additionally, integrating apiculture with Litchi farming can enhance pollination services and provide mutual benefits, increasing yields and economic returns for farmers. This study suggested the need for sustainable practices to protect insect diversity in agricultural ecosystems.
Sustainability of Irrigation Practices and Water-Pricing Tools in Water-Stressed Tropical Countries: A Way Forward for Sustainable Water Governance

Increasing water stress threatens agriculture, livelihood, and sustainability in Tropical countries. Asian and Sub-Saharan African countries in the Tropical region are projected as the future hotspots of water scarcity due to rising population pressure and climate variability. Around 87 out of 180 countries will turn into ‘water-stressed’ and 45 countries into ‘absolute water scarcity’ by 2050. Irrigation water demand accounts for 70% of all freshwater withdrawals globally. Due to varying climatic, topographical, and governance conditions, the agriculture techniques in the 54 tropical countries are indigenous to the local conditions. The main objective is to review the challenges in irrigation water management in seven water-stressed Tropical countries among the 54 countries. These countries are identified based on the baseline country data mined from FAO’s AQUASTAT database. A systematic literature review focusing on sustainable irrigation practices, the economic effects of water-pricing tools, and the role of policies and institutions were studied. The discussion centered on environmental sustainability, financial sustainability, institutional sustainability, and the resilience of agriculture to climate variability impacts. Community-based interventions, successful financial models, and policy and institutional reforms were perceived from successful irrigation systems. Implementation of climate-smart agricultural practices, shifting to water-saving technologies and irrigation methods, empowering the institutions, and enforcing policies and regulations to restrict resource overuse are recommended solutions for Sustainable Water Governance.

Introduction: in paediatrics, high-frequency emergency department use is defined as repeated emergency visits for reasons that do not require urgent attention or could be managed at a different level of care. Several factors may be associated with this phenomenon, such as socioeconomic, cultural or psychological factors. Its impact on the health care system is significant. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential of reducing high-frequency use.
Methodology: we assessed the agreement between the information for 101 diseases common in children provided by Gemini AI, a free and open-access service, and the current scientific evidence. We used the adjusted kappa coefficient in this analysis.
Results: the AI provided responses for all of the 101 diseases considered in the analysis. The kappa coefficient was 0.857 (95% CI, 0.002) for the identification of the disease, 0.888 (95% CI, 0.003) for the identification of warning signs, 0.876 (95% CI, 0.005) for establishing the need to visit the emergency department and 0.915 (95% CI, 0.003) for the appropriate recommendation of measures to be taken.
Conclusions: the text-based artificial intelligence exhibited substantial agreement with protocols used for identification of diseases based on symptoms, and near-perfect agreement for determining the need to visit the emergency department, identifying warning signs and providing therapeutic recommendations. The level of agreement was higher for common diseases and children aged more than 3 months.
