Conformism vs. Independent Opinions: The Challenges Facing Education Administration Students when Dealing with Political Conflicts Practiced in Simulation-Based Learning
Authors: Zamir Sara , Crystal Edna Nahon- , Abu-Jaber Saleem
Published: August 2024

Israel is defined as a Jewish and a democratic state. Yet, in recent years, the government of Israel has attempted to change the balance of power between the judiciary and the legislative and executive authorities. Many perceived this change as a fatal blow to democracy, while others supported the change. These political conflicts cannot be ignored inside schools. The purpose of this study was to examine how education administration M.A students deal with political conflicts within schools and the communication strategies they use. To that end, the method of simulation-based learning was used. The main research questions focused on the study participants’ willingness to express their opinions about controversial political conflicts. The results revealed an unexpected scenario. Even though school principals might be expected to be in control because of their powerful position in the organization’s hierarchy and their authority to mete out punishments and rewards, the simulations showed a different outcome in the broader political context, indicating that a general sense of chaos reigned in schools as well. Following these results, we developed a didactic educational model whose purpose is to educate toward social involvement and the ability to express a reasoned opinions.

Published: August 2024

Methods for predicting technological indicators for the development of a single-layer gas field for the gas regime and operation of wells with constant wellhead pressure are presented. For a two-layer gas field with different permeability, hydrodynamically isolated layers, developed by a single network of wells with constant wellhead pressure, there are no available engineering calculation methods that allow one to quickly predict technological indicators of gas production with sufficient accuracy. A methodology has been developed to determine predictive technological indicators for the development of a two-layer gas field in gas mode, using a common well pattern and operating at constant wellhead pressure. Studies were carried out on a hypothetical (model) two-layer gas field with different permeability, hydrodynamically isolated layers, developed together by a single well grid, using mathematical modelling methods, in particular the method of sequential changes in steady states. The proposed methodology is based on the joint solution of the material balance equation for each gas-bearing formation for the gas regime, the two-term formula for gas inflow in each formation to the average well, the equation for gas movement in vertical well pipes and the equation establishing the relationship between bottomhole pressures in each layer. Dependencies have been obtained that make it possible to determine the current values of reservoir and bottomhole pressures in each formation, the gas flow rate from each formation and the �average� well, annual and cumulative gas production from each formation and field. The methodology presented is implemented in Mathcad software and tested on a hypothetical field. The proposed methodology for determining the predicted technological indicators of development of a two-layer gas field for the gas regime with a common well pattern and their operation at constant wellhead pressure allows you to quickly calculate the technological indicators of gas production using widely available computer programs
Simulation model of a drill string with an axial vibration generator installed
Authors: Slabyi Orest , Kondur Taras , Hrydzhuk Yaroslav , Mokhnii Ihor
Published: August 2024

The use of axial oscillation generators has become common in constructing inclined wells to reduce the resistance forces of the moving drill string. This study focuses on creating a simulation model to analyze axial vibration processes in a drill string with an axial oscillation tool installed during the construction of inclined-directed wells of a given profile. The model will help evaluate the efficiency of the axial oscillation tool under different operating conditions. The study analyzed and decomposed the drill string into separate elements and developed their mathematical models. These models were created based on assumptions to reduce numerical complexity but accurately describe the interaction between the drill string and the well walls. The soft-string model of the drill string was used as a basis in creating the model, and the interaction of the drill string with the well wall was described by the Stribeck friction model. The rate of penetration of the wellbore was also factored in to simulate the effect of reducing the axial force on the bit. A library of simulation models of drill string elements based on the mathematical model was developed in the Modelica language. These models were used to synthesize a simulation model of the drill string, which can describe the dynamics of a drill string of arbitrary design with one axial oscillation tool located in a well of arbitrary profile. Numerical experiments were then conducted to study the process of deepening a well blowout under various parameters and modes of operation of the axial oscillation tool. The results of these experiments were analyzed to determine the effect of the axial oscillation tool on reducing the resistance forces of the moving drill string
Study of the influence of technological factors on the period of geothermal energy extraction
Authors: Kondrat Oleksandr , Shyshkin Oleksandr
Published: August 2024

The main methods of geothermal energy extraction are characterized. Given the significant number of depleted natural hydrocarbon fields, the issue of reusing previously drilled wells is becoming increasingly relevant. Examples of the implementation of geothermal energy extraction technologies at depleted natural hydrocarbon fields are analyzed. It is shown that the main risk and capital investment in the implementation of geothermal energy extraction technologies is the drilling of new wells. Practical experience in implementing geothermal energy extraction technologies has shown that approximately 25 GWh of electricity can be produced from a single well with an installed capacity of 500 kW over 10 years. To assess the impact of technological factors, namely the influence of injection/production flow rates, the distance between injection and production wells, and the temperature of the injected water on the period of geothermal energy extraction, the software complexes Petrel and Eclipse were used. The research was conducted using a synthetic model of an aquifer. The results of studies on the impact of the investigated parameters on the period of geothermal energy production were analyzed, which were evaluated by determining the temperature of the produced water from the investigated parameter. It was found that with an increase in injection/production flow rates, the period of geothermal energy extraction decreases. It was also found that with an increase in the distance between the injection and production wells, the period of geothermal energy extraction increases. Increasing the temperature of the injected water ensures an increase in the period of geothermal energy extraction. Research on the impact of various technological factors on the efficiency of geothermal energy extraction makes it possible to optimize the processes that ensure the production of this type of energy
Features of geophysical monitoring of current oil and gas saturation of productive formations
Authors: Fedak Іhor , Vasylyna R. , Uskov Vitalii , Malyk R.
Published: August 2024

The process of developing oil and gas fields requires continuous monitoring of the current oil and gas saturation of productive reservoirs. Monitoring the current oil and gas saturation allows for effective hydrocarbon recovery. Solving this problem under the conditions of a cased hole significantly limits the suite of geophysical methods, which are the main source of information about the conditional characteristics of reservoirs. The most effective geophysical methods for determining the current oil and gas saturation of a productive reservoir in a producing well is deemed to be the methods of pulse neutron logging. In this paper, the authors analyzed the features of this method, the geological and technological conditions for its effective application, and identified factors that significantly affect the reliability of log interpretation. The indications of pulse neutron-neutron logging are influenced not only by the geological characteristics of the studied reservoir. During the operation and production of an oil and gas well, technological factors also appear, which often significantly change the methods’ indications. Scientists have identified most of these factors and proposed ways to account for their influence. In their work, the authors focused on two factors that are often neglected when performing logging using pulsed neutron methods, accordingly, and not taking them into account during interpretation often led to misinterpretation of pulsed neutron-neutron logging readings when determining the current oil and gas saturation. There are cases of reservoir contamination during drilling and cementing of the casing, when an unusually large colmatage zone is formed. Or the near-wellbore zone of the reservoir formation is damaged during well operation. Given the limited radial resolution of pulsed neutron methods, an enlargement in the colmatage zone or damaging of the downhole zone of the reservoir during well operation has a significant impact on the method readings. The authors proposed a comprehensive approach that allows avoiding such errors

Published: August 2024

Introdução: Endometriose é doença crônica que atinge 10% das mulheres mundialmente. Definida por tecido endometrial fora da cavidade uterina, é estrogênio-dependente e em mulheres em idade reprodutiva pode se manifestar desde assintomática até ter relação com infertilidade. Dor abdominal e/ou pélvica, dispareunia, disquezia, disúria e sangramento uterino irregular impactam na qualidade de vida e produtividade dessas mulheres. Tanto a região pélvica (ovários, ligamentos uterossacros e retroperitôneo) como bexiga e intestino (retossigmóide, cólon) podem ter tais implantes, dificultando o diagnóstico precoce e agregando morbidades. Objetivo: compreender a endometriose e seu quadro clínico, avaliação e possibilidades diagnósticas. Metodologia: Revisão de literatura integrativa a partir de artigos das bases científicas de dados da Scielo, da PubMed e da BVS. Tal pesquisa ocorreu no período de março a maio de 2024, com descritores em inglês “endometriosis”, “clinical features”, “evaluation” and “diagnosis”, com correspondentes em português. Incluíram-se artigos completos dos últimos cinco anos (2019-2024), com total de 95 estudos. Após leitura dos resumos, excluíram-se estudos de outras categorias, com 05 artigos para leitura na íntegra. Resultados e Discussão: Demonstra-se que o exame físico em pacientes com endometriose é impreciso e variável, dependendo da localização e do tamanho dos implantes. Dor e intensidade não correspondem à gravidade. Achados sugestivos incluem: fixação do colo uterino, anexos ou útero; massa ou nódulo anexial sensível; deslocamento lateral do colo ao toque. Embora o diagnóstico definitivo exija confirmação histológica por biópsia de tecido, o diagnóstico presuntivo ganha destaque a partir de sinais e sintomas com achados de imagem (USG/RNM). Não há marcadores laboratoriais específicos para endometriose. Conclusão: Ressalta-se o diagnóstico cirúrgico da endometriose como padrão-ouro, sendo que tal condição raramente sofre transformação maligna para câncer. O atraso diagnóstico da dor pélvica crônica impacta na qualidade de vida e ainda é uma constante, apesar de capacitação médica e avanços tecnológicos

El presente estudio titulado "Análisis y Comparación del Consumo de Energía Eléctrica por Alumbrado Público en Luminarias LED y Luminarias de Vapor a Sodio" se enfoca en evaluar la eficiencia energética y el costo asociado de dos tecnologías de iluminación utilizadas en la ciudad de Oruro. Proporcionado por el Gobierno Autónomo Municipal de Oruro (GAMO), el servicio de alumbrado público busca mejorar la visibilidad en espacios urbanos, pero enfrenta desafíos relacionados con el alto consumo de energía de las luminarias convencionales de vapor de sodio. La investigación se propone analizar en qué medida las luminarias tipo LED pueden ofrecer una alternativa más eficiente y económica. El estudio compara el consumo de energía y los costos operativos de luminarias de vapor de sodio de 250 W y luminarias LED de 240 W, utilizando datos sobre el precio del alumbrado público y el consumo mensual de energía. Los resultados muestran que las luminarias LED consumen significativamente menos energía (259.4 kWh por mes) en comparación con las luminarias de vapor de sodio (334.74 kWh por mes). Esto se traduce en un ahorro económico considerable, con costos mensuales de Bs. 315.20 para las luminarias LED frente a Bs. 406.70 para las luminarias de vapor de sodio. Además del análisis de consumo y costos, el estudio destaca los beneficios a largo plazo de la implementación de luminarias LED, como el ahorro económico a través del tiempo y la mejora en la calidad de la iluminación y el mantenimiento. A pesar de una inversión inicial más alta, la adopción de tecnología LED se justifica por los ahorros significativos en costos operativos y el menor impacto ambiental. Este trabajo proporciona una base sólida para que las autoridades municipales de Oruro tomen decisiones informadas sobre la gestión del alumbrado público, promoviendo el uso de tecnologías más sostenibles y eficientes.

Los sentidos son la única vía de comunicación del ser humano con su entorno, permiten percibir lo que nos rodea, sentir el placer, pero también nos advierten cuando un alimento puede estar descompuesto. Durante generaciones el hombre ha estado utilizando sus múltiples sentidos inconscientemente probando y seleccionando los alimentos que más se adaptan a sus gustos. En la actualidad, se realizan ferias gastronómicas donde los consumidores degustan diferentes platillos sin seguir una metodología específica y sin analizar la información obtenida. Es desde ese punto que nace la metodología de definir y validar esas respuestas dadas mediante los sentidos antes diferentes estímulos, es lo que se conoce como análisis sensorial. Es por ello que este estudio tiene como finalidad evaluar la factibilidad de la utilización de Mammea americana (Mamey) en la pastelería actual, mediante la recolección y análisis de información sistemática, y determinar las propiedades sensoriales del producto según la aceptabilidad del consumidor. Se evaluaron recetas de cheesecake con frutos rojos, piña colada y mamey por medio de un análisis hedónico descriptivo por un panel semientrenado. La evaluación promedio del producto es del 68% y se presentan correcciones en la intensidad del sabor y en el dulzor, mostrando que el mamey es un producto viable para ser impulsado en repostería.

Здесь вы можете прорекламировать свой книжный магазин, новый ресторан или службу такси, что позволит вам показать свой бизнес не только знакомым, но и большинству населения вашего города или даже страны. Поэтому социальная сеть - это место, где люди могут удаленно общаться друг с другом, получать различную интересную информацию и узнавать, что происходит сегодня в нашей стране и за рубежом. Пользователь социальной сети тратил много времени с тех пор, как зарегистрировался и начал ее использовать, но не замечает, как минуты превращаются в часы. Пользователи социальных сетей это прекрасно понимают. Имея это в виду, необходимо ежедневно проводить ограниченное количество времени в социальных сетях, а уже потом думать о том, чтобы тратить время на полезные и добрые дела.
HeppSY Uni Connect Outreach: Longitudinal Evaluation
Authors: Fletcher Daniel
Published: August 2024

The Higher Education Progression Partnership South Yorkshire (HeppSY) is part of the Uni Connect Programme (UCP), funded by the Office for Students. The main focus of Uni Connect is to provide targeted higher education (HE) outreach to young people in Years 9 to 13 living in particular geographic areas. From August 2021 this broadened out to include the targeting of adult learners (learners aged 19 and above). HeppSY is working in partnership with Sheffield Hallam University, The University of Sheffield and South Yorkshire schools and colleges. To provide evidence for the impact of HeppSY outreach on outcomes relevant to HE access, a series of analyses were conducted matching together multiple waves of an annual student survey, HeppSY activity data, and student HE access data drawn from the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA). The results indicated that students who participated in more hours of outreach displayed greater increases in self-reported HE knowledge across survey waves, while evidence for an association between outreach engagement and increases in intention of applying to HE was mixed. Importantly, greater engagement in HeppSY outreach was associated with increased odds of accessing HE, and this relationship remained significant after controlling for baseline intentions of applying to HE.
The Value of Second Chances: Reflections of Undergraduate Students on their Foundation Year Experience
Authors: Pickering Nathaniel
Published: August 2024

Foundation year (FY) provision provides access to Higher Education for those not meeting the requirements for undergraduate study by developing skills and subject-specific knowledge. The provision has experienced significant growth and now plays a crucial role within many institutions, helping them reach their widening access and recruitment targets in a highly competitive market. However, the 2019 Review commissioned by the Government (informally known as the Auguar Review) raised concerns about the 'poor value for money' and the quality of these courses. Current research establishes a counter-narrative that shows the value and positive impact on students of FY courses. However, questions remain about how they prepare students to progress/succeed in their degrees and the value of that experience for those that access them. This presentation addresses these gaps by reporting findings from 18 interviews with students. The results show that the FY often provides students with a 'second chance' at education, and their value can be understood within four interrelated domains of value: functional, psychological, social, and monetary.
Theory of Change Narrative: Supporting Mature Learners in accessing higher education through a Train the Trainer intervention delivered by Hepp
Authors: Pickering Nathaniel , Self Kelly
Published: August 2024

Hepp (Higher Education Progression Partnership) is a jointly funded initiative by Sheffield Hallam University and the University of Sheffield that provides impartial advice and guidance across South Yorkshire and North East Derbyshire. Hepp aims to encourage more children, young people and adults that have experienced personal, systematic, or cultural barriers to accessing higher education to consider it as a viable option. Hepp has identified target groups for activity based on their strategic approach, which includes mature students from underrepresented backgrounds. Hepp have limited contact with potential mature students but are in a position to draw on their strong ties across the region and share information and guidance about higher education through multiple stakeholder groups. This report provides a narrative and a Theory of Change model for a train the trainer activity, which aims to increase awareness and knowledge about higher education among Hepp’s stakeholders so that they realise higher education is an option for learners of all ages and can confidently advise prospective students or direct them to relevant guidance. An extensive literature review was undertaken to identify barriers that mature students experience when accessing higher education. The outcomes of this intervention, which are focused on the impact it will have on the stakeholders and their engagement and understanding of higher education, are articulated as short, medium and long-term outcomes. Within the intervention, there are three main activities that stakeholders will be able to engage with: video programme; live session; stakeholder engagement
Dynamic and scalable secret sharing schemes based on matrix product compressed states

Currently, quantum secret sharing (QSS) schemes based on entangled states have not yet fully utilized the potential of the probability amplitude of entangled states. However, the probability amplitude is a key characteristic of quantum information science and possesses significant application prospects in the fields of quantum computing and quantum communication. It is worth noting that entangled states can be effectively represented by matrix product states (MPSs). The representation of entangled states using MPS can precisely reveal the entanglement characteristics closely related to the probability amplitude.

This study first focuses on the representation of the W state by using MPS, an approach that allows us to determine the key conditions for W state to achieve quantum advantage in QSS. Subsequently, this research demonstrates that by representing entangled states with MPS, a W state can be compressed into a single photon state and a simplified matrix form, presenting an innovative technical path.

Moreover, one of the most attractive features of our proposed QSS scheme is its ability to compress multiple different quantum states (represented by photons) into a unified state represented by a single photon. This characteristic endows our scheme with scalability and flexibility, meaning that the group of participants can be easily expanded or reduced according to their specific needs. The addition of new participants is managed by Alice, who is responsible for the distribution of quantum state shares. On the other hand, when a participant leaves the group, their old quantum state share can be simply ignored in the process of recovering the secret's quantum state, thereby simplifying the management process.

Through this strategy, we can not only make effective use of entangled resources but also meet the various requirements of the system, including but not limited to communication security, data transfer rates, and system scalability. This research provides new perspectives and possibilities for the field of quantum information science and may have a significant influence on the development of the field.
Decoupling of the onset of anharmonicity between a protein and its surface water around 200 K

The protein dynamical transition at ~200 K, where the biomolecule transforms from a harmonic, non-functional form to an anharmonic, functional state, has been thought to be slaved to the thermal activation of dynamics in its surface hydration water. Here, by selectively probing the dynamics of protein and hydration water using elastic neutron scattering and isotopic labeling, we found that the onset of anharmonicity in the two components around 200 K is decoupled. The one in protein is an intrinsic transition, whose characteristic temperature is independent of the instrumental resolution time, but varies with the biomolecular structure and the amount of hydration, while the one of water is merely a resolution effect.
