Authors: Yacenko Aleksandr , Vilbitskaya Natalya
Published: June 2022

Studies have been carried out on the selection of fiberglass reinforcing additives and it has been found that basalt fiberglass does not melt at firing temperatures of 1000 ...1050 ° C and provides the formation of a homogeneous porous ceramic structure permeated with fiber strands located on the surface of the sample, without affecting the internal porosity of the material. The strength of porous ceramics based on clay raw materials and a porizing additive in the form of high-calcium waste generated during water purification by liming at electrical installations, when a reinforcing additive is introduced, depends on the content of iron oxide.

Postures langagières chez Janis Otsiemi et Mongo Beti
Authors: Togola Adama
Published: June 2022

Cet article examine la posture langagière dans le roman d’Afrique francophone à partir des polars de Janis Otsiemi et Mongo Beti. Il pose l’hypothèse que la posture langagière chez ces deux écrivains traduit une réalité sociale, complexifiée par la défense d’une identité nationale. Loin d’être seulement une langue argotique, elle est aussi la continuation d’une manière d’écrire dont les racines sont à rechercher dans la littérature policière des années 50. À l’instar du néo-polar français soixante-huitard, issu de la filiation du roman noir américain dont le type d’écriture violente et syncopée permet aux auteurs de critiquer avec virulence les travers sociaux, Janis Otsiemi et Mongo Beti proposent de nouvelles orientations thématiques et de nouvelles configurations de l’enquête, en tenant un discours à la fois critique et ironique sur les sociétés africaines. Chez eux, le polar est le lieu d’une inventivité linguistique dont l’écriture reprend les grandes articulations en termes de subversion.

Talvez mais do que nunca, os exegetas hoje estão cônscios de quanto, nos Evangelhos, formulações aparentemente casuais e espontâneas podem na realidade ser calculadamente intencionais. A moderna análise crítica redacional (Redaktionsgeschichte) tem deixado isso copiosamente ilustrado em relação aos Sinóticos; mas também no IV Evangelho se verifica que um estilo e vocabulário aparentemente despretensiosos podem estar abrigando formulações mui alertas, de objetivo menos patente porque mais profundo ou complexo...

Authors: Muñoz Ronaldo
Published: June 2022

Os pontos de reflexão que aqui apresentamos vêm sendo ultimamente colocados nas bases de nossa Igreja. Recolhemo-los em inúmeras reuniões, a nível de povoado, de paróquia ou de região. Reuniões onde os grupos e comunidades que trabalham nas tarefas existenciais e de solidariedade revêem aquilo que estão fazendo, procuram aprofundar seu sentido e corrigir as falhas. A grande preocupação: servir, servir realmente aos irmãos necessitados, e servi-los como compete à Igreja de Jesus Cristo.

Desenvolvemos a seguir estes pontos de reflexão e mostramos sua coerência com a tradição viva da Igreja, ordenando-os em dois tópicos: I) Problemas; e II) Critérios teológico-pastorais. Tanto estes como aqueles têm sido colocados nas bases populares da Igreja, por obra do sentido humano e da inspiração evangélica que as anima.

Que é fazer Teologia partindo de uma América Latina em Cativeiro?
Authors: Boff Leonardo
Published: June 2022

A teologia da libertação e do cativeiro, tal como se articula na América Latina, não quer ser uma teologia de compartimentos e de genitivos como a teologia do pecado, da revolução, da secularização, da vida religiosa, isto é, um tema entre outros da teologia. Quer apresentar-se, ao contrário, como uma maneira global de articular praxisticamente na Igreja a tarefa da inteligência da fé. É um modo diferente de fazer e pensar em teologia. O modo de fazer e pensar implica e pressupõe uma maneira diferente de ser ou de viver. Esse modo de ser e viver, implicado e pressuposto na teologia da libertação, é o do cativeiro como o correlativo oposto da libertação e do esforço de superação dessa condição...

Remote Teaching and Learning in the COVID Era: Empirical Evidence from three Universities in Thailand
Authors: Fuchs Kevin , Fangpong Keerati
Published: June 2022

In an abrupt and unprecedented move to cancel face-to-face classes across the country for all institutions in higher education (HE), the paradigm of emergency remote teaching emerged (ERT). The purpose of ERT is to give students consistent, but temporary and quick access to training and instructional support. The quick transition concerned not just instructors but also students, who had little time to adjust to the new circumstances. The study aims to close a knowledge gap by validating previous research with a limited sample, as well as identify possible correlations between perceived satisfaction and specific sociodemographic characteristics in different geographical settings within Thailand. Empirical data was collected from 874 undergraduate students at three different universities in Thailand. The findings revealed that the students were not satisfied with ERT based on their experience. Moreover, the study concludes by providing theoretical and practical implications for educators and policymakers in HE.

Authors: P Vinod Kumar  , S Venkateshwarlu  , SS Tulasi Ram
Published: June 2022

The modern-day electric vehicles use brush less DC motors (BLDC) and Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) as the main driving units. The traction systems also have tried PMSM machine as the driving unit. The variable frequency power source is required to control the speed and torque of the motor to meet the load requirements. The Inverter – power modulator is causing the production of ripples in source current and flux components, hence the torque. This paper presents the effect of inverter on the flux and torque ripples. Also, the simulation results of inverter switching losses are discussed.
Japan’s recent earthquake impacts on nuclear plants safety in the wake of Fukushima Daiichi
Authors: Resat Keles  , Eizaburo Tacibana
Published: June 2022

Once again, the whole world became increasingly alarmed by the devastation caused by the recent 9.0 magnitude earthquake in Japan that struck on March 11, 2011 at about 12:50 (14:56 JST Thursday) to the east of Sendai, Honshu Island. Centered at a depth of about 32 km below the ocean floor, it triggered a huge tsunami, resulting in the deaths of over 14,000 people, with another 10,000 still unaccounted for. In addition, when the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant cooling supply system was damaged by the earthquake, it fractured the structure and water supply system to the reactor core leaving the reactor without cooling water followed by a series of explosions due to dry reactor operation, sending high levels of radioactive gases into the air. Furthermore, on March 16, 2011, a fire broke out in the number 4 reactor when workers could not sufficiently cool the reactor core, and sensors gauging radiation levels inside failed to detect the dry operation of the reactor. Therefore, innovative concepts in performance-based design must be developed by the structural engineering community to better design structures to address the danger of collapse. Simulation is essential for predicting realistic scenarios by mimicking natural disasters. Computing power technology is advancing, and the recent K-computer is nearly the fastest computer operating system in the world, now operating at 8.2 petaflops per second. This system can accomplish the task of simulation to provide us better warning, protection, and disaster reduction. Japan is rebuilding from deadly March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami. With the experience gained from this disaster, planning teams can now design highly resistant nuclear reactor structures, water supply systems with backups to withstand major earthquakes and aftershocks, as well as install early warning systems on the ocean surface, so that, with a better coordination of Japanese government agencies and engineers, the effect of such double catastrophes can be minimized and human life and property can be saved. We believe that a new generation of disaster simulation technology is necessary, and will emerge from the DS’11 Kobe Symposium. The symposium will further provide a deep understanding how disaster simulation can be modeled, by taking into account 3-D material structures and behaviors from the macro to micro level. In this paper, we will examine of the earthquake impacts what measures Japanese Government agencies should take in the future to redesign structural safety, structural response control for nuclear power plants, and simulation benefits, so that future natural disasters can be minimized, and greater security against natural disasters can save human lives, properties, and the environment.

Boron has significant impact on the mineral composition of teeth. Copine-7 (Cpne-7) is secreted by pre-ameloblasts and induces dentin formation via differentiation of mesenchymal cells of dental. The goal of this study was to see how boric acid affected the bioactivity and expression of Cpne-7, collagen type I in dental pulp-obtained stem cell. The expression of Cpne-7, COL-I were assessed in the boric acid treated pulp cells by molecular method on 3 and 8 days exposure. When comparing the different boric acid concentrations to the control group in a proliferation experiment, no significant differences were noted. At 10 ng/mL boric acid, a rise in the number of mineralized nodules was observed. Boric acid concentrations (1 ng/mL, 10 ng/mL) increased the transcripts of Cpne-7 on day 3 and 8. Additionally, 1 ng/mL boric acid concentration significantly upregulated of Cpne-7 expression compared to control group on day 3 and 8. When the 1-10 ng boric acid was compared to control group COL-I expression remarkably enhanced in cell. According to the current findings that boric acid may be a potent regulator of Cpne-7, which is a promising candidate for new dentin formation in regenerative dentistry, in dental pulp-obtained mesenchymal stem cells and provide osteogenic efficacy in therapies aimed at dentin formation.

Evaluation and critics are two essential aspects in assessing a perfect performance. Public speaking is a platform to convey critics as well as evaluations publicly. Critics and Evaluation is an embodiment of check and balance in a democratic nation. Barack Obama attends White House Association Correspondents Dinner annually as a sign of USA democracy establishment. This event is a mark of good relationship between government and mass media correspondents. This study finds critical and evaluative humorous utterances as Obama’s tactical strategy to deliver his critics and evaluation. This research is qualitative research that uses conversational analysis (CA) as the method. The data were transcribed by Jefferson transcription system (2020). It has an aim to examine implicature theory (Grice, 1975) further in humour. This study shows that pragmatical utterances, that is conveyed in humorous concept, need a construction of common understanding, named as common ground. Turn taking is seen from speaker’s speech and various responses of audiences such as laughter, applauses, or short verbal responses. These responses become essential part of discourse constructions in seizing its goal, to criticize and evaluate colleagues’ performance.
THE TREATMENT OF HISTORIOGRAPHIC METAFICTION AND MAGICAL REALISM IN WINTERSON’S THE PASSION AND MORRISON’S BELOVED
Authors: Heidarzadegan Nazila , Abdulrazzaq Dulfqar M.
Published: June 2022

This paper aims to explore the role of Historiographic Metafiction and Magical Realism in Jeanette Winterson’s The Passion and Toni Morrison’s Beloved in the enrichment of the plot of both works , besides clarifying the concept of Magical Realism, its goals, the reasons for its emergence, and its importance in literature. Both novels fit a distinctive model of Historiographic Metafiction, where both authors have reversed all norms and traditions that are imposed by religious beliefs and patriarchal society to modulate the historical facts and present the familiar and common facts in a different form, where woman are no longer oppressed as once her presence was intentionally obliviated in history. Furthermore, both authors used magical realism creatively; Winterson embodied Magical Realism's elements innovatively, as she constructed a fictitious and mythical world, creating mythical creatures that are difficult to imagine or explain. They have also mingled fiction with reality, creatively; whereas Morrison presents slavery different from what is common, as she portrays  pains of slavery via mixing fiction and reality, to make ordinary become unusual and familiar seem unfamiliar.
INDONESIAN PARENTS’ CONSIDERATION TO SELECT CHILDREN BOOKS IN CONSTRUCTING MORAL IDENTITY
Authors: Mufti Mehrunnisa Ani
Published: June 2022

Parents believe that books are the media to enhance children’s knowledge enrichment, language development, and linguistic competencies. However, there are limited studies that envisage the involvement of parents in selecting books for their children.  Current research that considers parents’ background as one of the literacy resources remains rare. This narrative inquiry explores Indonesian parents’ consideration in selecting children’s books as a means of constructing moral identity. Parents of a second-grade elementary student in Yogyakarta were the participants in this research. A semi-structured online interview sparked a discussion on what factors they consider when choosing children's books and why. The responses of parents revealed some key concerns about book choices: their experience, child’s contextual needs, and child’s interests. Furthermore, it is found that Indonesian children’s books tend to have moral fallacies that did not fit well with parents’ moral identity. As a result, parents’ book selection for the child was more into foreign publishers because they had more precise Islamic moral value representation.

The Brazilian blueberry (Vaccinium spp.) production has made remarkable progress in developing quality and quantity. The price of the fruit for fresh and processing purposes is linked to its quality and origin. An effective method for authenticity control and traceability is the stable isotopes method. Carbon (13C) and oxygen (18O) of Brazilian blueberries have never been extensively explored. In this work, the results of 13C and 18O (performed by IRMS) of thirty blueberry samples were presented and discussed, being eleven different cultivars produced in the Southern Brazilian region from mountain and high-altitude. The blueberry showed the typical range of carbon isotopes for C3 plants, with significant differences between Rabbiteye and Southern Highbush. The δ13C and δ18O values showed a significant difference between a mountain and a high-altitude region. This study represents the first isotopic database for Brazilian blueberries, and it can be incorporated into a traceability system. In addition, these results can be used to verify the authenticity of the fruit composition declared on the label and as an effective tool for identifying the geographical origin.

Предложена методика регистрации световых вспышек при инициировании взрыва в энергоемких материалах лазерным моноимпульсом. Реализованы два способа измерений задержки взрыва. В первом фотоэлемент устанавливают с тыльной стороны исследуемого образца, а регистрацию ведут в инфракрасном (ИК) диапазоне (> 700 нм). На регистрограмме отчетливо наблюдаются два отдельных пика, отвечающие моменту генерации (1064 нм) и разлету продуктов взрыва. Во втором используются два фотоэлемента: первый расположен аналогично, второй - сбоку, перед образцом. Регистрацию ведут в диапазоне 400-440 нм. Измеряют прямой и рассеянный (продуктами взрыва) световые потоки, излучаемые разрядом импульсной лампы-накачки. Задержка определяется по временному сдвигу сигналов обоих фотоэлементов. Времена задержки для выбранного химического соединения составили 10 и 20 мкс для моноимпульсов с энергией ~ 60 и ~ 50 мДж. Оценено время разлета продуктов взрыва по интервалу от начала до пика фототока. Указанная величина составила ~ 35 мкс и не зависела от энергии инициирования.
ПРОГНОЗИРОВАНИЕ МЕТАТЕЛЬНОЙ СПОСОБНОСТИ СМЕСЕЙ ВЗРЫВЧАТЫХ ВЕЩЕСТВ С ГИДРИДОМ АЛЮМИНИЯ

Результаты исследований продемонстрировали возможность повышения метательной способности (МС) взрывчатых веществ (ВВ) за счет добавления алюминия и гидрида алюминия (ГА). В случае когда взрывчатой основой смеси служит октоген (циклотетраметилентетранитрамин), т. е. ВВ с отрицательным кислородный балансом (КБ), составы с ГА по МС уступают композициям с алюминием. На примере вещества БТНЭН (бис(тринитроэтил)нитрамин) показано, что наибольшего повышения МС при добавлении ГА следует ожидать в случае ВВ с положительным КБ, при этом композиции с ГА по МС могут превосходить составы с алюминием.

This paper examines the perception of commuters on the quality of services rendered by LAGBUS. Lagos state has continously witnessed unprecedented population growth as well as traffic congestion. This growth has resulted to pressure on existing transport infrastructure which necessitated the introduction of LAGBUS by the state government to improve transport service. The study made use of primary and secondary sources of data. The primary data was obtained through the distribution of one hundred and twenty (120) copies of questionnaire to respondents through random sampling technique to LAGBUS users but only 106 copies were returned. Descriptive statistics including tables cross tabulation and charts were used to analyze the data. The findings showed that 92.5% of the respondents have been using LAGBUS for more than a year due to cheaper cost and stable price of travel as compared to other forms of public transport providers in the state. 37.7% and 39.6% of the respondents were of the view that they patronize LAGBUS due to its comfortability (comfort seats) and restriction of preaching and trading respectively. The rating of the services of LAGBUS showed that 88% and 58.5% of the respondents were of the view that their services were satisfactory and regular respectively. Long waiting time is the most challenging problem faced as revealed by 58.5% of the respondents. The study recommends that more buses should be designated to strategic or populated bus stops to reduce passengers’ long waiting time as well as the provision of more road infrastructure such as parking space, alternative routes and road expansion.

Objetivo: Realizar a avaliação de prescrições de oxigenoterapia de pacientes sob cuidados clínicos internados em um hospital de ensino de Sergipe. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal, descritivo, retrospectivo e quantitativo, no qual foram avaliados os prontuários e prescrições de 28 pacientes em uso de oxigênio (O2) internados entre os meses de março a junho de 2021. Os pacientes foram avaliados quanto à indicação de O2 e saturação de oxigênio (SatO2) inicial, e as prescrições quanto à inclusão do O2 na prescrição, saturação alvo, dispositivo de entrega do O2 e fluxo inicial ou concentração de O2 inicial inspirada. Após a coleta dos dados foi formado um painel de especialistas composto por pneumologista, fisioterapeutas e farmacêuticas para avaliar os achados e sugerirem intervenções a serem realizadas. Resultados: Dos pacientes avaliados, 89,3% tinham indicação de oxigenoterapia, mas 72,4% dos prontuários não apresentavam informação sobre SatO2 inicial. Da amostra analisada, 53,6% não tinham O2 prescrito, 75,0% não apresentavam meta de SatO2, 42,9% não apresentavam o dispositivo de entrega de O2, e 67,9% não continham o fluxo inicial ou concentração inspirada de O2 inicial. Além disso, o cateter nasal foi o dispositivo mais prescrito (85,2%). O painel de especialistas sugeriu nove intervenções para serem realizadas, que envolveram desde a realização de treinamentos com os profissionais envolvidos em todo o processo de uso do oxigênio medicinal, até a modificação do modelo de prescrição médica atual para atender aos requisitos necessários para uma prescrição de oxigênio adequada, com o intuito de promover a prática do uso racional de oxigênio e adequações no processo de trabalho. Conclusão: O estudo demonstrou que a maioria dos itens avaliados nas prescrições de oxigênio apresentavam não-conformidades diante das recomendações internacionais. Estes achados justificam a realização de intervenções junto à equipe assistencial.
