Published: June 2024

This research aims to prove the dualism of the nature of light with the photoelectric effect experiment and the double slit experiment using simple tools. The experimental analysis method was used for this research. The photoelectric effect experiment that has been carried out successfully proves that light behaves as a particle, this is evidenced by f> f0, light emitted as small particles called photons. The double slit experiment conducted with one of the wave properties, namely interference, also proved that light behaves as a wave, resulting in the formation of dark and bright patterns. Both experiments can be conducted using simple tools, despite the limited facilities of the laboratory, so this experiment can still be done by utilizing existing tools and materials as an alternative.

Published: June 2024

Background: Food safety is of utmost importance to sustaining life and promoting good health and is a main problem in any country, regardless of economic and social development. Unsafe food containing harmful pathogens and their toxins cause hundreds of diseases, particularly affecting infants, young children, the elderly and sick people. Therefore, the rapid detection of foodborne pathogens is of great significance for public health. The aim of this review was to provide comprehensive information regarding methods for the detection of foodborne pathogens as well as genus Fusarium and their toxins, from fundamental to state-of-the-art, presenting their advantages and limitations in order to update current knowledge. Review Results: The traditional culture-based methods for the detection of pathogens in food are usually laborious, limited by complex sample preparation procedures, time-consuming, slow to provide results, and require well-trained professional staff. However, compared to these methods, the new ones - immunological methods, nucleic acid-based assays and biosensor-based methods are rapid, accurate, highly sensitive and specific, and easy to use. Precisely providing accurate real-time results would help limit foodborne disease outbreaks, ensure compliance with legislation setting maximum levels of pathogens in certain food categories, detect and improve the import of food contaminated with dangerous levels of pathogenic microorganisms, and ensure public health safety. Conclusion: The development of rapid and automated methods that detect real-time, small numbers of viable microbial cells within a given volume of food is vital in the prevention, transmission and treatment of foodborne diseases. Such methods would also offer a great commercial advantage in the food industry and related fields.

Introduction: postural balance is a concept that refers to the body's ability to maintain its center of gravity while relying on a support area. Purpose: to develop and implement a combined physiotherapy programme with sensorimotor exercises and to monitor its effectiveness after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Material and methods: Material: 15 men (mean age 25.16) were observed after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. They underwent a physiotherapy programme combined with additional exercises for sensorimotor stimulation. The sensorimotor stimulation exercises were specifically tailored to overcome muscle imbalance and pathological proprioceptive information from the operated knee joint. Methods: Functional methods include lower extremity centimetry, range of motion in the knee joint, manual muscle testing, static and dynamic balance tests, and postural control tests. Statistical methods: statistical data grouping; Cronbach's test; descriptive method; statistical hypotheses testing; correlation analysis. The data was processed with SPSS v.24.0 for Windows. Results: according to the literature, the main cause of impaired proprioception and mechanoreception is the loss of mechanoreceptive afferency due to tissue damage in the knee joint. This requires an income of sensory information from neighboring healthy structures. The inclusion of sensorimotor exercises helps build new motor skills, activity, and regulation that require peripheral stimuli. The results from the static and dynamic portions of the test show the possibility of restoring impaired sensorimotor information. Conclusion: the combination of classic physiotherapy and sensorimotor stimulation influences the support and motor function of the lower extremities.

Published: June 2024

Students are perceived as a group that manifests certain specific cultural
particularities, among which there are the values, beliefs and principles of conduct.
Since the instructional-educational activities carried out with them must take into
account those aspects that they value and which represent benchmarks in the
cognitive, affective and behavioral spheres, we decided to find out which axiological
benchmarks the students we work with refer to. They assimilate the cultural values
promoted by the university and, at the same time, they are active participants in the
act of creating new values. We were interested in identifying the most common values
among master's students who are enrolled in the courses of the psychopedagogical
module and also to what extent these are found in their attitudes and opinions in
specific training situations. In order to achieve the proposed goal, we started from
the hypothesis that students refer to both classical and recent values. In order to test
the research hypothesis, we used qualitative research methods, which allowed us to
inventory the dominant values of the students' axiological register, but also to find
out some reasons and arguments they base their opinions on.

The aim of the study is to analyze the aptitudes required for youth and activity
leaders, which reflect the identity construction of people living in a prison
environment. When caring for people in precarious situations, the needs of the
situation and the needs of the individual must be taken into account (Kaës, 2022). Identifying the tutor's conceptualization in his management of interactions means taking into account the link between the objectives pursued and the rules of action, information gathering and control that he uses. The operational dimension of knowledge and the subjective involvement of the incarcerated person are necessary for this interpretation of the tutor's position. This raises the question of the skills required for support in order to successfully carry out the support system. An analysis of the results shows that, while support is a set of tools to facilitate selfdevelopment and self-maintenance, this process requires the person handling it to have certain skills, such as neutrality, active listening, authenticity/congruence and awareness of their limits.

A literary text is a written work that is generally created for an aesthetic or artistic purpose, rather than for purely informational or utilitarian reasons. This text is often characterized by its style, artistic expression, creativity, and thematic depth. Nowadays, it raises concerns among guardians regarding its teaching/learning in the classroom for French as a foreign language (FLE), both to refine its reading and its pedagogical approach. However, currently, many students are fascinated by cutting-edge technologies, which have become essential in their everyday lives. They also spend an increasing portion of their free time navigating on their digital devices, gradually moving away from reading, especially of literary texts. Yet, these could enrich the pedagogical resources used to learn the language and its associated culture. Consequently, this study aims to verify on the ground why students are fleeing literature? What strategies to recommend for integrating literary texts into the teaching of FLE within different French departments, in a context marked by an ever-increasing digitization?

The clinical illustration presented here showcases the psychotherapeutic
benefits of art therapy for children experiencing separation anxiety. Its containing
quality facilitates the reconstruction of internal and external boundaries and fosters a
sense of personal integrity. By stimulating creativity, imagination, and the projection
of internal fears, art therapy enables children to process and express their emotions
effectively, leading to improved emotional regulation and coping mechanisms.
Separation anxiety can give rise to social and academic adaptation
difficulties, which are often associated with learning challenges and academic
failures. Based on this, we concluded through an experiment that introducing art
therapy, as a form of mental health care for these children, is highly beneficial for
improving their well-being.

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar os parâmetros epistemológicos que constituem a Eutonia, destacando especialmente o respeito pela pessoa humana, e também salientar a centralidade do conceito teórico-prático do contato consciente, em torno do qual os procedimentos técnicos vão, por necessidade, se estabelecendo. Para tanto, alguns dados históricos, relativos à 2ª Guerra Mundial, às reformas pedagógicas ocorridas no início do século XX e à trajetória de Gerda Alexander nesses contextos, serão apresentados de forma a refletir sobre as conexões entre pesquisa e ambiente, ao longo do tempo. Também serão abordados os conceitos de alteridade e empatia para proporcionar um entendimento de alguns princípios fundantes da prática pedagógica, afirmando a importância da flexibilização do tónus muscular para este método. Mas, sobretudo, pretendemos dissolver o equívoco de atribuir a criação da Eutonia unicamente à questão do adoecimento de Gerda Alexander.
Local manifestations of cross food allergy in children with clinical symptoms of respiratory allergy to birch pollen: solutions
Authors: Lepeshkova T. S.
Published: June 2024

Introduction. According to modern data, Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS) is most often formed by patients sensitized to the birch family: up to 73% of patients allergic to birch experienced OAS. 86% of them experience their oral symptoms year-round, which significantly affects the quality of life of these patients. The effectiveness of AIT in the treatment of respiratory allergy symptoms is beyond doubt, while the effect on the manifestations of cross-food allergies requires additional study.

Objective. To study the clinical effectiveness of the formation of oral tolerance to fruits and vegetables under the influence of allergen-specific immunotherapy (ASIT) with the allergen Staloral® “Birch pollen allergen” (Stallergenes Greer, France).

Material and methods. The study (prospective open comparative longitudinal) included 184 patients with respiratory allergy to birch pollen aged 5 to 16 years with confirmed sensitization to the major molecule (Bet v 1). Children of the main group (n = 134, 7.0 [5.0; 9.0] years) had OAS. Children from the comparison group (n = 50, 7.0 [6.0; 10.0] years) did not have OAS. A clinical examination, general clinical and allergological examinations were carried out for each child. Component allergy diagnostics was performed using a multiplex panel (ISAC-112, ImmunoCAP) for children with OAS (n = 40) who had multiple manifestations of cross-food allergies. Patients of both groups (n = 184) received a three-year course of AIT with the allergen Staloral® “Birch pollen allergen”.

Results. In patients with OAS, it was possible to achieve the formation of oral tolerance (total or partial) to fresh vegetables and fruits in 88.81% (n = 119, p = 0.000). There was a decrease in the intensity and duration of respiratory allergy symptoms during the pollination season, and the need for pharmacotherapy after a three-year course of AIT Staloral® “Birch pollen allergen” in children of both groups.

Conclusions: three-year AIT with the allergen Staloral® “Birch pollen allergen” is able to form oral tolerance in children with cross food allergies to PR-10 proteins of vegetables and fruits.

Published: June 2024

El cemento Portland es el ligante más utilizado a nivel mundial, sin embargo, su producción implica la emisión de 1 kg de CO2 por cada 1 kg de cemento producido, por lo que hace necesario el desarrollo de cementos sustentables, con buenas prestaciones mecánicas, pero amigables con el ambiente. Se elaboró un cemento supersulfatado a base ceniza de bagazo de caña de azúcar (CBCA) activado con óxido de calcio (CaO) y sulfato de calcio (CaSO4), obteniendo un valor máximo de resistencia mecánica a la compresión (RMC) de 10.75 MPa, para la mezcla con una composición de 80% CBCA, 10% CaO y 10% SC. El arreglo experimental Taguchi fue un L18 (61 x 32). Se realizaron 18 ensayos por triplicado, variando las relaciones másicas de los tres reactivos principales. Se utilizó una temperatura inicial de curado (TIC) con tres niveles: temperatura ambiente (~35 ºC), 50 ºC y 100 ºC y una relación agua/ligante con niveles de 0.25, 0.30 y 0.35. Se realizó una caracterización química mediante espectroscopia infrarroja con transformada de Fourier (FT-IR), para conocer los posibles productos de reacción, pudiendo identificar productos tal como cal, etringita, gel de sílice y potencialmente CSH. Finalmente se determinó el efecto del activador alcalino, realizando ensayos de control sin CaO y sin SC, obteniendo un valor de RMC de 7.72 MPa para el control sin SC y 1.38 MPa para el control sin CaO, destacando la importancia del CaO en la formación de gel CSH.
The impact of unemployment on alcohol consumption: A panel data analysis
Authors: Nkomo Nomusa Yolanda , Adanlawo Eyitayo Francis
Published: June 2024

Several books and articles published in the last few decades have looked at how alcohol use has affected the job market globally. This study attempted to determine how specific labour market shocks (such as losing a job) influence alcohol intake on an individual level  to clarify the existing research. We went deeper into the subject of whether or not losing one's job increases the likelihood of alcohol abuse. We estimated models with fixed effects using panel data at the individual level from the National Income Dynamic Survey's Waves 1 and 5. (NIDS) to account for possible omitted variable bias. We calculated the gender-specific impacts of alterations in work status on the total intake of alcohol, occurrences of binge drinking  and the diagnosis of alcohol addiction and  dependency. The results consistently demonstrate a favorable and substantial impact of unemployment on drinking habits and these findings remain strong even when subjected to various robustness tests. The study concludes that being unemployed for more than a year causes people to consume less alcohol, perhaps as a result of financial stress. It is impossible to determine a precise cause-and-effect link but high unemployment rates may contribute to mental health problems including stress and depression which might be detrimental to public health. It is advisable to take into account the individual expenses and consequences related to alcohol consumption when making fiscal policy decisions aimed at boosting the economy particularly during economic recessions.

Published: June 2024

The tunnels are one of the most significant infrastructures for facilitating mobility in mountainous terrain. It has several benefits, including shortening distances, time, and ease of transportation. To make it easier, developed countries create several tunnels close to each other. Engineers face the necessity of building these new tunnels near existing ones; this infrastructure must be safe. In this paper, for this numerical study, we used the OptumG2 software to analyze the position of a new tunnel created in six locations: bottom, top, left (two places at 12 m and 32 m), and right (two places at 12 m and 32 m) by the finite element method. This study was analyzed using two criteria: the equivalent of Drucker Prager and Mohr Coulomb. We are interested in the total field of the displacement, the vertical displacement of the model, the displacement, bending moment, shear, and normal force of the concrete lining. The findings of this numerical analysis using the Drucker Prager and Mohr Coulomb behaviors to determine the ideal locations for building a new tunnel next to an existing one show that the new bottom tunnel might have a significant influence on the stability of the existing tunnel. It was also observed that the maximum displacement present when we add a new tunnel at the bottom meets the Drucker-Prager criteria.

In an age where digital connectivity is increasingly shaping entertainment content, personalized movie recommendations play a pivotal role in enhancing user satisfaction and engagement. This research introduces an innovative approach utilizing Enhanced Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) to streamline movie selection processes. Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs), a type of unsupervised neural network architecture, are particularly adept at discerning intricate data patterns, making them valuable assets in recommendation systems. The methodology outlined in this paper commences with gathering user-movie interaction data, including user feedback and movie characteristics, which is standardized to ensure consistency before model training. Leveraging its adaptable learning rate and neighborhood function, the Enhanced SOM effectively identifies subtle data nuances. Personalized movie suggestions are then generated by exploiting the Enhanced SOM's capacity to identify similar users and films. Integration of hybrid filtering techniques enriches recommendation quality, blending collaborative filtering algorithms, which leverage user-item interactions, with content-based filtering, which utilizes movie attributes such as genres and descriptions. This amalgamation results in suggestions that harmoniously combine diverse filtering methodologies. The proposed solution's efficacy is rigorously evaluated by comparing suggestion accuracy and user satisfaction against predefined benchmarks. Extensive real-world dataset testing corroborates the effectiveness of the Enhanced SOM-based movie recommendation approach. Furthermore, the system offers flexibility through options for parameter adjustment, grid size variations, and neighborhood function modifications to further refine recommendation accuracy. Collectively, these elements underscore the efficacy of the proposed method in furnishing tailored movie recommendations. When coupled with hybrid filtering techniques, the implementation of Enhanced SOMs emerges as a reliable model for content platforms seeking to enhance user experiences by delivering precise movie recommendations, coupled with scalability and adaptability.

Analysis of the Phenomenon of Involution among Young People
Authors: Zhou Yijun
Published: June 2024

"Involution" among young people refers to the continuous efforts of the young generation in pursuit of better grades, career development, and quality of life in today's competitive social environment. This phenomenon reflects the problems of the current education system because the school evaluation system focuses too much on scores and rankings. It is also associated with a highly competitive job market. As the economy slows down, young people are facing increasing pressure to find a job. There is also the phenomenon of "involution" in pursuing a better quality of life. With the popularity of social media and the advent of the information age, many young people measure their happiness by comparing themselves with others in terms of material conditions and travel experiences. This comparison mentality encourages them to constantly exert pressure on the outside world and chase the so-called "success" standard. In this context, this paper studies the characteristics, causes, and problems of the phenomenon of involution among young people in China. According to analysis, it is concluded that the phenomenon of "involution" exhibits evident utilitarian characteristics and can weaken team collaboration. It is mainly caused by parental expectations, societal norms and values, and the education system. The "involution" phenomenon leads to excessive competition and an unbalanced distribution of resources. In addition, it also hurts the education system and brings negative impacts on the workplace.

Additionally, by highlighting potential challenges and resources, it examines the linguistic gap between the target language and the originating language.The study's research design, datagathering strategies, and analytic approaches are all covered in the methodology section.The findings improve knowledge of the interactions between first-language acquisition and secondlanguage learning, direct methods of teaching languages, and promote effective multilingual communication.
Critical Analysis of the Application about Multilingualism in Education Contexts with the Case of Singapore
Authors: Ao Ge
Published: June 2024

Discussions on multilingual education arising from multilingualism have been a very popular topic in recent years. In multilingual education, languages other than the dominant language are usually recognized as the language of instruction. This model of education arises from different sociolinguistic contexts and needs to take into account the use of the language it involves and the relative status of that language. This paper critically analyzes the policy of multilingualism in education promoted in the Singapore region as a case study, and goes on to point out that multilingualism in education as an important resource cannot be guided by state policy while providing better developmental resources and economic value to individuals. Multilingualism in education should place indigenous, national, and official languages on an equal footing and promote the development and prosperity of multiple languages.

Published: June 2024

In 2020, with the rapid spread of the epidemic worldwide, the financial markets of the United States and other countries experienced a huge impact rarely seen in history. This paper focuses on analyzing the impact of COVID-19 on the US economic situation and the bond market. It explores the potential logic of some US government policies to deal with the impact of COVID-19 on the bond market. In addition, this paper also compares and analyzes policies with real-time data to judge the effectiveness of various policies. Currently, the US government actively implements monetary and fiscal policies and prudently responds to the negative effects of these policies. The large-scale purchase of government bonds and the corresponding quantitative easing policy are gradually started among them. These changes effectively controlled the indicators of the US bond market. At the same time, some other policies are carefully managing risks, such as a spike in inflation. Finally, the United States successfully reduced the economic losses caused by the epidemic and survived the crisis.

Published: June 2024

Unmanned aerial vehicles are used quite widely today, especially quadcopters, which we often encounter in areas such as the defense industry, agriculture, and civil aviation. Dec Jul Flight control cards are the products with the highest cost among these products, especially for someone who has a hobby in civilian life or who is curious about electronics and aviation, so it is quite expensive to supply or produce these vehicles. We are designing and producing a cost-effective, easily accessible, and affordable flight control card by using Arduino and Gyroscope sensors in the works we are planning. At the same time, a design is considered one in which the user can code as open-source hardware. The project has two working areas, hardware and software. The work in the hardware field involves designing the flight control board through the drawing program, producing printed circuits for the designed board, and integrating Arduino Mega and other components into this board. On the software side, it is the control algorithm and flight software coding via Arduino IDE. Due to the fact that it has a large number of libraries, it is accessible and understandable to most people, so the Arduino IDE program has been used.
Estimation of Organ Doses in Pediatric Patients for Different Imaging Protocols and Examinations
Authors: Şahmaran Turan
Published: June 2024

In this study, the Volume Computed Tomography Dose Index (CTDIvol) Dose Length Product (DLP), effective patient doses (ED), and organ doses were calculated for pediatric patients aged 0, 1, 5, and 10 years undergoing computed tomography (CT) examinations using the VirtualDose program, a software designed for reporting such doses. The study utilized a Toshiba Aquilion 16 CT scanner. Head, chest, and pelvis CT scans were simulated with commonly used kVp, mAs, and pitch values. The results indicated a significant difference in organ doses between standard and low-dose protocols. When kVp and mAs values were increased, ED and organ doses increased by an average of 2.5 times. Conversely, when kVp and mAs values were held constant and pitch value was increased, ED and organ doses decreased by an average of 2 times. Physicians requesting pediatric CT scans should continuously evaluate the requested examinations based on their benefits and risks. To reduce organ doses, scanning protocols should be reviewed, and low-dose protocols should be preferred. Additionally, newer generation devices that provide lower dose scanning should be utilized.
Ethnocentrism to Cultural Relativism: A Food Journey of Hassan Haji's Family in Richard C. Morais' the Hundred-Foot Journey
Authors: Selvaraj Vijayakumar , Shah Akhter Habib , Sathikulameen A. , Majeed Huda
Published: June 2024

This paper examines the conflict faced by select characters in Richard C. Morais' The Hundred-Foot Journey between Indian and French food culture through the lens of ethnocentrism and cultural relativism. It probes how Hassan Haji strikes a balance between two food cultures: the French culture and Indian culture meet, interact, compete and experience a collision of cultures related to ethnocentric issues from Madame Gertrude Mallory. Leaving one's cultural territory and migrating to another territory authoritatively represents one's cultural superiority. It takes time to understand the cultural practices of other ethnic groups in terms of their food and cultural contexts, which requires competence in cultural relativism. It examines three aspects of his food culture journey. To begin, it studies how Hassan Haji travels out of his home country and adapts to new food culture. Second, how he experiences blending two food cultures. Third, how well he manages, learns and adjusts to the new food culture and settles in with cultural relativism. The author portrays cross-cultural aspects of food's power through the confrontation between French haute cuisine and an Indian restaurant. Literature has enlightened readers' comprehension of many civilisations all across the world. It takes the readers on a voyage around the world without requiring them to leave their current location. Some literary works, on the other hand, combine two civilisations. These pages reflect how various cultures may reveal various facets of each other, including challenges, dreams, and secret scars shared by those who share space with them. As they learn about new cultures, they strive to maintain a balance between the two. Cross-cultural influences led the Kadam family to abandon their nativity and relocate to a new country after crossing cultural divides.
The Use of Semi-automatic Annotation in Speech Acts Performed by Learners of English
Authors: Pan Zhaoyi
Published: June 2024

Since rare research studied speech acts (SAs) from a macro perspective, this study used a semi-automatic annotation tool named Dialogue Annotation and Research Tool (DART) to examine the most frequently performed SAs by Chinese and Thai learners of English as a foreign language (EFL). It also attempted to reveal the reasons for the similarities and differences in the SA performances of EFL learners from discrete linguacultural backgrounds. This study involved 30 Chinese and 30 Thai EFL learners, totaling 60 participants. A total of 30 dyadic English interlanguage conversations were collected for this study. The learner corpus research with the contrastive interlanguage analysis was adopted for the analysis. The DART annotation revealed that both Chinese and Thai EFL learners most frequently performed the same six SAs. These SAs were labeled by DART as state, hesitate, reqInfo, answer, expressOpinion, and stateReason. Of the six listed SAs, both Chinese and Thai EFL learners most frequently performed the SA labeled state; both cohorts also presented the SA stateReason least often. Task requirements, the frequent use of certain types of formulaic language, and English proficiency levels were ascertained as factors causing the identical presentation of the six identified SAs. The English proficiency levels of Chinese EFL learners were determined as the principal reason for their discrete performance of SAs. Conversely, the influence of the Thai linguacultural background denoted the primary factor for discrepancies in the SA performance of Thai EFL learners.

Correlating critical current density, quench protection, relaxation time and entropy in superconductors after disturbances—Intermediate summary
Authors: Reiss Harald
Published: June 2024

This paper summarizes results recently obtained from simulation of transient temperature excursions in filamentary and thin film superconductors. Under multi-component heat transfer in the complicated conductor cross sections and materials composition of present High Temperature Superconductors, numerical, Finite Element and Monte Carlo simulations are applied to solve Fourier’s differential equation with high spatial and temporal resolution. The overall aim was to encircle the quench problem in superconductors and to provide new stability criteria from correlations between superconductor critical current density, density of electron pairs, and relaxation time and entropy. Relaxation, correlation and entropy analysis presented in this paper extends the spectrum of standard methods to avoid quench to a new tool. As results, quench starts always locally, and as a highlight of this investigation, a second “critical” temperature, TQuench, has been identified that with high probability exists below standard critical temperature. Entropy is the driving force for relaxation of the superconductor to new equilibrium after a disturbance.
