Using Workplace Personality to Guide Improvement of Law Enforcement Selection
Authors: Winterberg Chase , Tapia Michael , Brummel Bradley
Published: November 2022

Recurrent police-public conflict suggests misalignment in desired police behavior between police and the public. We explored differences in desired police characteristics between police and members of the American public. Although racial minorities endorsed more negative attitudes of police overall, we found no meaningful differences in desired police characteristics between police and the public or between racial minority and majority participants. Second, we combined multiple criterion-related validation studies in similar jobs via meta-analyses and synthetic validity analyses to identify personality predictors of police performance dimensions. Third, we assessed base rates and adverse impact of these personality characteristics in police. Incumbent officers scored significantly lower on desired characteristics and higher on undesired characteristics than applicants. Overall, scales measuring Emotional Stability, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Excitability, and Skepticism seem job-relevant across samples, predictive of performance, and unlikely to cause adverse impact. Focusing on these characteristics in hiring could contribute to positive changes in police performance.
Enhancing the Representation of Women: How Gender Diversity Signals and Acknowledgement Affect Attraction to Men-Dominated Professions
Authors: DePatie Thomas , Sachdeva Anmol , Shahani-Denning Comila , Grossman Rebecca , Nolan Kevin
Published: November 2022

While organizations around the world recognize the importance of gender diversity and inclusion, many struggle to reach gender parity (Sneader & Yee, 2020). Particularly, women account for less than 15% of all sworn police officers (Donohue Jr, 2020). Considering signaling theory and novel research in organizational impression management, we examined the utility of various recruitment messaging techniques for attracting women job seekers to professions dominated by men, at both a consulting firm and law enforcement agency. Women evaluating consulting firm materials perceived greater behavioral integrity and were subsequently more attracted to the organization if recruitment messages included both high gender diversity signals and an explicit acknowledgement of the lack of gender diversity. With the law enforcement agency, a direct effect of the proposed interaction was identified, in that women were more attracted to police recruitment materials signaling gender diversity and explicitly acknowledging the lack of gender diversity within the agency. Materials had no adverse effect on men’s attraction. Last, research questions surrounding person-organization fit and risk propensity were analyzed to further explore the acknowledgement tactic.
Electing Law Enforcement Leadership: Examining the Effects of Politics and Job-related Qualifications on Personnel Assessment and Decisions for Sheriff
Authors: Panton Kareem , Nolan Kevin , Rigos Jess
Published: November 2022

Calls for police reform have become frequent in the United States. Efforts to enact meaningful organizational change will require support from senior law enforcement leadership. Personnel selection for several of these positions (e.g., Sheriff) occurs via local election. Little is known, however, about the factors that influence voters’ assessment of candidates for these positions and the extent to which decision-making for personnel selection via election is influenced by the same beliefs (e.g., person-job and person-organization fit) as more traditional approaches to hiring. This study explores the extent to which voters’ perceptions of two candidates for the position of Sheriff are affected by their job-related qualifications and political affiliations – and the extent to which these perceptions influence voter behavior. Results suggest that the combination of participants’ and candidates’ political affiliations accounted for substantial incremental variance in evaluations of the candidates’ person-job fit, person-organization fit, and overall suitability for employment above-and-beyond differences in their job-related qualifications; and that participants were approximately 39% more likely to vote for the candidate with lower job-related qualifications when that candidate shared their political affiliation. Reports about the extent to which republicans and democrats value/ support police practices provide insights as to why these effects were observed.
Policing for Peace: Training for a 21st Century Police Force
Authors: Den Houter Kate , Brooks Margaret
Published: November 2022

We review the present state of research on police training in the United States, highlighting gaps in the literature, and limitations of trainings in use by local policing agencies. We focus on training content relevant to the volatile situations that are at the center of controversy, we evaluate content areas that focus on successfully navigating real-time, unpredictable, and potentially dangerous interactions, and discuss training needs in these areas. We suggest that one common response to the issue of bias—implicit bias training—lacks evidence of efficacy. Accordingly, we recommend alternative training content to address bias and discrimination. Finally, we call attention to potential barriers, including the highly charged political environment and officer resistance, that could limit the effectiveness of new training programs.

The Badlands of Gender: Excerpts from a Notebook
Authors: Newman Lenore
Published: November 2022

On some days I cause what I like to call ‘restroom chaos’.

Early one morning at a conference I stand before a mirror in a university washroom, trying to find the lucidity to present a paper. An old male professor wanders in, cries out “I am so sorry, miss!” and runs out of the room. Unfortunately, having exhausted one of the options available within society’s suspect binary, his panicked brain takes him straight into the “women’s” washroom. I listen to the ensuing shrieking and sigh. Gender in our society is still tightly controlled; “it’s a boy” or “it’s a girl” are still the only two cries to escape a doctor’s lips as we squirm into this confusing world. For those of us who do not fit this model, bathroom politics are a reality of everyday survival, even early in the morning before coffee brings caution.

The language of the birds outside my bedroom window has to compete with the sound of traffic seeping through the brick walls that becomes a part of my day, like the canned music that fills my ear when I'm once again waiting for a real voice on the telephone instead of a “press three” for hours of operation.
The Effectiveness of E-Learning Platform in Higher Institutions: A Review on Language, Psychology, and Culture
Authors: Haslina Welsi , Lilimiwirdi Lilimiwirdi
Published: November 2022

The effectiveness of e-learning has some uniqueness and challenges in terms of obstacles faced, and its learning model. This research employs the observation method by observing both spoken and written data, survey, and interview. Data was obtained from 80 higher institutions students and 50 lecturers of four state-owned institutions, and four private institutions.The results show that the effective learning conducted through e-learning has met the expected standard. Through the learning process, the students were provided by motivational training, and educated with character building based on their religious belief. Moreover, the lecturers carried out their teaching process through WhatsApps Group, zoom meeting and/ or google meet applications, and provided the students with instructions and guidance. The instructions and guidances were particularly concerned on how to conduct the online classes with the camera on, comprehending the Semesterâ€™s Lesson Plan (SLP) for the whole semester, providing feedback on the materials, examples, video assignments, and weekly tasks given. Besides that the instructions and guidances were also specified for the students to seize the opportunities to present their tasks virtually. Likewise, the supports from the institutions are also needed concerning the committee for quality assurance in the implementation of E-learning, draft, attendance list, journal, contract of the course, motivational to the lectures in implementing E-learning, and video conference room (Vicon) as well.
When Women Are the Bosses: Linguistic Strategies in Managing Problematic Discourses
Authors: Ernanda Ernanda , Sartika Delita
Published: November 2022

The exercise of power in leadership may involve conflicts, especially in precarious situations. Politeness strategies come into practice to cushion the aftermath of face-threatening acts that presumably trigger tension. This study aims to shed light on female leaders' linguistic strategies in managing problematic discourses involving older male subordinates in the Indonesian university context. The naturalistic data was obtained from recorded meetings. The study results depict that the female leader employs both direct and indirect strategies in handling problematic issues, especially when the female leader has to face up to senior subordinates. She adopts direct strategies to convey important messages that have to be obeyed by the employees. On the other hand, she adheres to the cultural norms that oblige younger people to show respect to older people by using indirect strategies. The politeness strategies employed in her utterances show how culture shapes communication approaches. In general, a female leader has to have a range of sophisticated linguistic competence in a high-rank managerial position.

آراء سيبويه النحوية في كتاب صناعة الكُتَّاب لأبي جعفر النحاس
Authors: Saleh Ibraheem atya
Published: November 2022

إنَّ للعربية أهمية كبيرة عند أهلها والدارسين لها وذلك أنَّها تتمتع بقوة ثباتٍ وبقاءٍ مستمدتين من كتاب الله جل وعلا الذي تعاهدها بالحفظ ، وذلك أنَّها حاملة القرآن وإناءُ حفظه ، وأنَّ الدراسات اللغوية مبنية على أساس خدمة القرآن وإظهار فضائل هذه اللغة ، وقد وقع اختياري على ( آراء سيبويه (180هـ) النحوية في كتاب صناعة الكُتَّاب لأبي جعفر النحاس ت338هـ ) وإنَّ أهمية هذا الموضوع تكمن في أنَّ موضوعه متعلق برسم الكلمات ، سواء كانت مفردة أو في التركيب ، وهذا ما جعلني أكتب فيه بحثي هذا ، وقد تمَّ اختيارة لأنه عن سيبويه أولاً ، وعن الألفاظ وكتابتها سواء أكانت مفردة أم في السياق ثانياً ، وإنَّ مادته مختلفة تماما ، ذالك أنَّ الكتاب في علم الخط ، الذي هو موضوع رسم الكلمات ، وأنَّ النحاس وضعه ، ليعين الخطاطين في كتاباتهم بعدما زاد التأليف وكثُر النسخُ ، فذكر فيه الورق والآحبار وصناعتها ، ثم شرع في ذكر ما يمكن أن يُشْكِل على الكاتب وكيف يُكتب ، واحتج لذلك بكلام كبار أهل الصنعة كالكسائي وسيبويه والفراء وغيرهم ، لذلك بَنَيْتُ بحثي على آراء سيبويه النحوية في كتاب صناعة الكُتَّاب  ، وقد جعلته في مقدمة وتمهيد تناولت فيه تعريف بسيبويه والنحاس  ، ودراسة للمسائل على وفق الترقيم العددي : أولا ، وثانيا ... إلى عاشراً . ومن أهم المصادر التي اعتمدتها : كتاب سيبويه ، ومعاني القرآن للفراء ، وصناعة الكُتَّاب للنحاس ، وسر صناعة الاعراب لابن جني .
 وقد تتبعت هذه الآراء فوجدتها تقرب من الثلاثين رأياً، ذَكِر فيها سيبويه أو احتج بكلامه فيها ، وأخذت بدراستي النحوية منها  ، ولكنْ مما وجدته أنَّ النحاس لم يذكر وفاة سيبويه عند ذكره لِوَفَيات الأعلام من نحويين وغيرهم ، وأضن أنَّه اكتفى هنا بأنَّ سيبويه عَلَمُ النحو وعمدته فلم يذكر وفاته . وكأنَّ النحاس أراد في كتابه هذا أنْ يبين للناس أسباب كتابة الكلمات المشكِل كتابتُها لديهم بصيغها المعلومة عندهم  .
 وأخيرا هذا جهد المقل فما كان من سهو وتقصير فمن نفسي وما كان من فضل فمن الله وحده وهدايته والحمد لله رب العالمين .

Behavior of Steel Beams Subjected to Bending and Shear Loading Under Localized Fire Conditions
Authors: Ibraheem Omer Farooq , Abdullah Hafssa Ali
Published: November 2022

Civil structures were designed to carry a variety of loading during their service life, including fire hazards. As a result, providing fire safety to structural members is one of the most important tasks in civil infrastructure design. Steel structural members are subject to fire-induced damage or collapse due to their high heat conductivity and quick loss of strength and stiffness qualities. Furthermore, the failure in steel beams under the combined effects of bending, shear, and fire loading is poorly understood in the literature. A present study consists of experimental investigations on the fire response of steel beams under bending and shear dominant loading. The specimens have a constant length of 1250 mm. The total depth of the specimens was changed according to the section chosen: 4 in, 6 in, and 8 in (10 cm, 15 cm, and 20 cm). The results of tests show that beams can fail suddenly due to a high drop in yield and ultimate strength of the steel beam. the increase in temperature degree reduced greatly the yield and ultimate flexural strength of the steel beams with different sizes (for all groups). This reduction reached at some times to 50% for the ultimate strength capacity of the specimen. Shear strength is also affected greatly by fire exposure and the reduction reached to about 38%. Furthermore, the design strength capacity can only tolerate loads at low temperatures. This reduction in strength was noted under flexural and shear dominant loading. Moreover, the design strength capacity can withstand against loading at low-temperature degrees only.
The assemblage technique in the creation of modern wooden sculptures
Authors: Cheglakov Aleksandr Dmitrievich
Published: November 2022

The article demonstrates how the assemblage technique manifests itself in modern wooden sculptures. The author shows what assemblage is and what is the essence of this method. In addition, close attention is paid to another innovation of avant-garde culture – organic art, according to the philosophy of which the world is represented as an organic whole, a single system with its own laws. By the example of M. Matyushin’s pedagogical system, the natural connection between man and nature in works of art is shown. On the basis of the developed creative method, it is presented how modern art can combine such avant-garde tendencies as, for example, organic art and assemblage. Another important methodology, close to the technique of assemblage, and at the same time bordering on the practices of kinetic art, is the creation of sculptures, the elements of which can be rotated. The synthesis of methods and materials allows us to expand the boundaries of art by introducing non-artistic materials into the creative circulation. The main idea of this approach is to enlarge the context in which the work of art we have created exists, to enrich its history. It is stated that the wooden sculpture provides the creator with ample opportunities for experimentation. The ideas and plots of wooden sculptures embody various ranges of artistic diversity of decorative and applied arts.
Love and Trauma in “The Lady with Dog” and The Great Gatsby
Authors: Boulberhane Mouna , Aouati Somia , Saad Haider Luaibi
Published: November 2022

This article is devoted to introduce a literary comparative study between two literary works written by the Russian novelist Anton Chekhov’s short story "The Lady with the Dog" and his American counterpart F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel "The Great Gatsby". The goal lies in revealing the possibility of an existed influence between the two authors. Also, it reveals the similarities and differences of the aspects of love, ego, and trauma. Multiple articles dealt separately with the theme of love in both case studies, thus; the novelty lies in comprehensive comparative of the theme of love between the original authors and their protagonists, as well as with the protagonists themselves. Another novelty is presented in comparing other psychological aspects of trauma and ego of Gurov and Gatsby. The research employs the historical, analytical, comparative, and psychoanalytical methods. The author, specifically, bases his comparison on the Freudian view of love and trauma to analyse the psychological struggle after the love loss experienced by both protagonists; Gurov and Gatsby. Both of them fall in love with women they cannot be with because they are both married to other men, so they both experienced traumatic situation that the protagonists could not get over it. The acquired results can be used both in the practice of literary psychoanalytical criticism, and practice in the filed of comparative studies.
Existential Paradigm of Artistic Consciousness: Russian Literature of the XIX Century as a Carrier of Ideas of Religious Existentialism
Authors: Mysovskikh Lev Olegovich
Published: November 2022

Based on the theoretical developments of the scientific philological school of the Ural Federal University (UrFU), the article analyzes the category of "artistic consciousness" and identifies an existential paradigm within this category. Special attention is paid to tracing the history of the study of the category "artistic consciousness" by UrFU scientists from the Soviet period to our time. The author of the article explores the origins of existentialism using the examples of writers and philosophers of the XIX century. As existential writers and philosophers of the XIX century, S. Kierkegaard, A. Schopenhauer, F. Nietzsche are represented among Western European thinkers and M. Lermontov, F. Tyutchev, F. Dostoevsky, L. Tolstoy, A. Chekhov are among Russian writers. The author of the article comes to the conclusion that the Russian literature of the XIX century is the bearer of unique ideas of religious existentialism. The author assumes the existence of an existential type of artistic consciousness, considered as a type of artistic and aesthetic interaction of a person with the world, expressed in artistic creativity, and suggests that in the twentieth century the existential consciousness of a free person who found himself in a world where "God died" fell into an enchanted circle of absurdity. The opposite approach, considering human freedom as a gift from God, suggests using it in the name of creative improvement. Such a path leads to harmony with God, elevating the human creator to the role of a co-author of Divine creativity.
The Insignificance of the Act in Criminal Law and the Social Danger of the Individual
Authors: Slepnev Fedor
Published: November 2022

The article is devoted to the issues of taking into account the social danger of the individual when differentiating minor acts and crimes. The subject of the work is the norms of law governing the institution of the insignificance of an act in criminal law, as well as law enforcement practice that develops in connection with the application of the norms on the insignificance of an act. In the course of the study, the author examines the evolution of Soviet and post-Soviet criminal legislation in terms of the norms governing the insignificance of the act, as well as the legal technique of their construction. Particular attention is paid to the study of heterogeneous law enforcement practice in the context of the issue of accounting for the identity of the perpetrator in the differentiation of minor acts and crimes. The research was conducted on the basis of universal dialectical, logical, formal-legal and historical-legal research methods.The scientific novelty of the research consists in the fact that the author presents a theoretical justification of the approach, according to which personality traits cannot influence the resolution of the issue of the insignificance of the act and suggests an original practical way to implement this approach in the form of legislative changes, which subsequently positively affect law enforcement practice and contributes to its uniformity. The main result of the study is a proposal to amend the current criminal legislation, in particular, it is recommended to amend Article 14 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and add Part 3, which will meaningfully consolidate the above approach and thus bring judicial practice to uniformity.
On the Issue of Leasing Land Plots in State or Municipal Ownership to Peasant (Farmer) Farms and Agricultural Organizations Participating in State Support Programs in the Field of Agricultural Development Without Bidding
Authors: Sukalo Vitalii Alekseevich
Published: November 2022

Based on the analysis of paragraphs 12, Part 2 of Article 39.6 of the RF CC, paragraph 8 of Article 10 of the Federal Law "On the Turnover of Agricultural Land", judicial practice, it is concluded that the currently existing legal norms do not provide peasant (farmer) farms and agricultural organizations participating in state support programs in the field of development agriculture, a real opportunity to lease publicly owned land plots for farming or other activities related to agricultural production without bidding due to the unjustified application of the procedure established by Article 39.18 of the RF CC, which carries a significant risk for already concluded lease agreements to be invalidated and, in this regard, does not allow us to talk about the stability of civil turnover and the protection of the interests of participants in civil legal relations. The conclusion is substantiated that it is necessary to amend Clause 8 of Article 10 of the Federal Law "On the Turnover of Agricultural Land" in terms of excluding references to Article 39.18 of the RF CC. In order to exclude competition with persons who are not participants in state programs and to exercise the right to receive plots without bidding of agricultural organizations, it is proposed to prescribe a detailed procedure for identifying interested parties in the new Article 39.18.1 of the RF CC, similar to the procedure established in Article 39.18 of the RF CC, but only with respect to the procedure for considering applications of peasant (farmer) farms and agricultural organizations participating in state support programs in the field of agricultural development, on the provision of land plots in state or municipal ownership for lease without bidding.
The image of the "demon Lord" in Japanese fantasy: traditions, formality, originality
Authors: Kovlekov Kirill Ivanovich
Published: November 2022

Modern Japanese fantasy is based on a limited set of characters. One of them is “demon lord” or "Maou" (jap. 魔王). Given the growing popularity of novels implementing the character during composition, as well as growing popularity of manga and anime adaptations, it seems relevant to study the key characters of Japanese fantasy. In this regard, the purpose of the study is to determine the role of the demon lord character. Subject of the study pertains to modern Japanese fantasy. To achieve research goals, methods of comparative historical analysis, J. G. Kavelty's literary formula approach, and content analysis were used.   The main result of the work was identification of the characteristic features and the role of the demon lord as character in its diachronic and synchronic aspects. The fields of application of the research results are literary studies, Oriental studies, the study of modern Japanese mass literature. It is concluded that the demon lord as a concept dates back to traditional Buddhist origins, but nowadays returns to its roots in a new capacity after adapting Japanese popular culture, in response to the needs of modern man. In the context of modern mass literature, the demon lord holds value as a type of standard of Japanese fantasy and as an important element of the conventional structure of the literary formula.

It is the speaking image of the lecturer and those rhetorical means that facilitate one’s interaction with the university audience that come into focus. The task is to show how knowledge is shared via university lecturing with respect to traditions of public speaking and the linguoculturological realia of this or that epoch. In other words, what comes to the fore in this paper is continuity and optimization of intellective communication in the present-day Global English space. The main conclusion the authors arrive at is that to introduce any changes in the non-native speakers’ rhetoric of academic discourse a really comprehensive cognitive processing of the genre of lecturing is required. Different aesthetic and ethical aspects of academic English are to be taken into account and weighed up from different angles, including its innovative phonostylistic design in the West and the traditions of intellective communication in other parts of the globe.

Features of R. Kipling’s Work in the Naturalist Prose of F. Norris
Authors: Gadylshin Timur Rifovich
Published: November 2022

The article focuses on estimating the influence of Rudyard Kipling’s figure on the works of his younger contemporary, the American Frank Norris. The author comes to the conclusion that the English writer fundamentally determined his literary follower’s development vector. Kipling who has become extremely popular among American readers raises Norris’s interest toward neo-romantic short story. The early stage of Norris’s work is noted by Kipling’s powerful influence and the article reveals common plot, compositional and stylistic elements in their works. The writers are united by artistic ideals: Kipling and Norris emphasize the exotic and the criminal and treat the concept of masculinity in a similar way in their short stories. The relevance and scientific novelty of the article are determined by the fact that the article studies Norris’s short stories which were previously unexplored in Russian literary criticism. The author makes an attempt to determine the significance of romanticism’s legacy for Norris’s work and to demonstrate its close relationship with naturalism, exploring various works by R. Kipling. The article uses the following methods: elements of the biographical method; estimation of Norris's theoretical ideas according to the principles of cultural studies; comparative analysis of the works of the two authors. The article can be used in teaching the history of foreign (in particular, American) literature in higher educational institutions.

The subject of the work is the development and implementation of a program for the regulation of negative psychological states of karate athletes from 8 to 14 years old. The purpose of this study is to develop an effective program aimed at correcting the negative psychological states of karate athletes from 8 to 14 years old during preparation for competitive activities. In our work, we analyze the methods of psychological regulation of karate athletes from 8 to 14 years old during the preparation for competitive activity. In the teaching of the karate section, there are a number of problems associated with a decrease in the cognitive activity of students, with a decrease in the level of health culture, which is due to a number of factors: improper nutrition of athletes, bad habits (alcohol, smoking), a small amount of sports in life (the development of physical inactivity), workload in training, etc. These factors force teachers to look for new ways in teaching and educating students. In this work, the psychological states of karate athletes from 8 to 14 years old for competitions were studied. We have developed a program for regulating the psychological states of karate athletes from 8 to 14 years of age in the pre-competition period of training by organizing work with model situations in which athletes can detect psychological difficulties associated with motivation to achieve success, anxiety and stress, as well as together with the coach to find ways to resolve them, during which there will be an increase in motivation to achieve success and stress resistance and reducing the level of anxiety. In the course of the study, after testing the program, changes in the level of anxiety (its decrease) and motivation (its increase) occurred in 83.3% of respondents.
Minimum Power Control Allocation for Incremental Control of Over-Actuated Transition Aircraft
Authors: Pfeifle Ole , Fichter Walter
Published: November 2022

Existing control allocation approaches usually minimize an [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] norm of the actuator commands that is loosely related to the thrust produced or the aerodynamic drag. This paper proposes a novel incremental control allocation method that directly minimizes the total power required for an over-actuated, propeller-driven transition aircraft. The minimum power cost function is derived in a convex form and leads to a closed-form algebraic solution for an additional command increment in the null space of the local control effectiveness matrix. The complete control allocation procedure consists of a two-step approach that is direction-preserving in the presence of actuator saturations and nonlinear due to the incremental formulation. The proposed control allocation is particularly advantageous in the case of a transition aircraft, where the tradeoff between using aerodynamic lift and vertical thrust can be solved naturally by including incremental attitude commands as virtual inputs in the minimum power control allocation. The resulting control allocation scheme allows to both maximize control authority and find minimum power trim solutions. Flight tests are performed on an over-actuated transition aircraft, showcasing the minimum power trim and control allocation without the use of flight mode switching or blending functions throughout all flight regimes.
Uncertainties and Radius Tracking in Flight-Path Angle Guidance for Aerogravity-Assist
Authors: Mazzaracchio Antonio
Published: November 2022

This paper addresses the problem regarding the influence of random dispersions related to the environment and system on a flight-path angle guidance algorithm using lift modulation for aerogravity-assist maneuvers on hyperbolic trajectories. To compensate for the effects of dispersions and uncertainties, an original radius tracking guidance model is presented, with a formulation for both the temporal domain and the true anomaly domain. This algorithm allows a vehicle to successfully track a suboptimal trajectory planned before a mission. A case study involving a maneuver on a hyperbolic trajectory to Venus performed by a waverider, which is a spacecraft characterized by a high lift-to-drag ratio, is presented. An uncertainty and sensitivity analysis is used to evaluate the impacts of dispersions in the inputs on the main parameters and the performance characterizing the mission. The analysis provides an extensive range of cases that identify the density and thickness of the atmosphere as the most influential dispersed inputs. Adequately tuning the radius tracking guidance parameters enables the efficient attenuation and compensation of the perturbative effects of the uncertainties for obtaining trajectories that are close to the nominal trajectories, estimated before the mission in the absence of dispersions, in terms of the angular deflection and velocity magnitude variation. The presented model can be easily implemented for onboard guidance purposes.
Duct Height Effect on Terminal Shock/Boundary-Layer Interaction in a Generic Supersonic Inlet

Published: November 2022

A generic external-compression inlet model was tested to investigate the effect of duct height on terminal shock/boundary-layer interactions, with special sidewall arrangements to eliminate corner separations. Experimental results showed that the separation length significantly decreased by 41% as the duct height was reduced from 60 mm [Formula: see text] to 40 mm [Formula: see text]. To obtain the influence of the duct height in a wider range of values, Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes simulations were further performed. The scales of the [Formula: see text]-shock structure and separation region decrease as the duct height decreases. Shrinkage of the scale of the λ-shock structure results from a decrease in separation length. The downstream shift in the separation point and the upstream shift in the reattachment point both contribute to this decrease, but the upstream shift in the reattachment point is a dominant reason. The underlying mechanisms of the variation in the reattachment position as the duct height decreases include two aspects. The first is the stronger pressure gradient in the wall-normal direction immediately behind the shock system, which produces a stronger radial pressure gradient above the bumplike separation bubble, quickly turning the streamlines toward the bottom wall and enclosing the bubble. The second results from the postshock acceleration of the irrotational flow above the separated layer as the duct height decreases. An accelerating mainstream with a favorable pressure gradient above the separated layer increases the mixing strength and momentum exchange between the low-speed layer near the wall and high-speed flow above the separated layer.

Published: November 2022

Infertility is a global problem that closely concerns people of reproductive age. Infertility has many negative effects on the lives of individuals, especially women who are more exposed to violence. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between the perceptions of domestic violence against women and the sexual functions of women who apply to a clinic for fertility treatment. This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 150 infertile women who applied to the clinic of a university hospital in northern Turkey between August 2018 and February 2019. The data were collected face-to-face using the descriptive information form, the Female Sexual Function Index and domestic-violence-against-women forms. The frequency, percentage, Pearson’s product–moment correlation analysis, linear regression analysis, the Mann Whitney U test, and Cronbach’s alpha methods were used in the analysis of the data. It was found that 54 per cent of the participants had a high school or higher education, 62 per cent of the participants did not work in an income-generating job, the participants were married for an average of 6.08 ± 3.99 years, and the mean age of the participants was 30.69 ± 6.13. The mean score of the domestic violence scale was 65.79 ± 11.16, and the mean score of the sexual function index was determined as 25.24 ± 5.47. Correlation values between domestic violence and sexual function index scores were found to be inversely significant (p < 0.05). The research indicates that infertile women who are exposed to violence experience more sexual dysfunction. It also indicates that women who are not satisfied with their sex life are more exposed to sexual violence.
