Explaining the Dynamics and Stability of Dialects: A Representational Approach
Authors: Hoffmeister Toke 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
In this article, the focus is on the pivotal role of speakers in shaping language dynamics and dialectal stability, particularly within the context of dialectal variation. It is evident that language is intricately tied to human experience, serving as a tool for navigation, problem-solving, and social interaction. This article posits that understanding the interplay between language dynamics and stability of dialects requires a nuanced consideration of speakers and their practical relationships with the world as well as their linguistic mental representations. People are not passive recipients of language; rather, they actively engage with it in various contexts, adapting to new situations and influencing linguistic change. Through empirical examples from German dialectology, the article illustrates how speakers’ interactions with their environment shape language evolution. Overall, the article aims to provide insight into the role of speakers in driving linguistic change and maintaining linguistic conventions within dialectal contexts. By examining the practical relationships between speakers and their environment, it contributes to the development of a comprehensive framework for understanding the complexities of language variation and evolution considering linguistic representations.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
RF energy harvesting technology has garnered significant attention from researchers in recent years. This paper presents a high-efficiency quad-band RF energy harvesting (RFEH) system. It introduces an improved cross-coupled differential-drive rectifier designed for ambient wireless powering, capable of harnessing power from four distinct ambient RF sources: FM-100, DTV-600, GSM-1800, and WiFi-2400 frequency bands. The proposed RFEH system demonstrates notable advancements, achieving a high RF to DC conversion efficiency of over 80 % within an input power range of −5 dB m to +13 dB m, with a 5 kΩ resistance load. This power output is deemed sufficient for energizing low-power micro-devices autonomously, without reliance on external power sources. Notably, the DC output voltage of the proposed RFEH system exhibits a high level of stability against variations in input power, a characteristic not adequately addressed in existing systems.

Authors: Aktaş Haktan , Çetin Bülent 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
In the study, in order to develop novel starter cultures, three types of yoghurt were produced with different combinations of autochthonous yoghurt bacteria and the samples were investigated in terms of fermentation, microbiological quality, physicochemical properties (pH, acidity, water-holding capacity, apparent viscosities, and rheological properties), organic and benzoic acid contents, and sensory properties during 28 days. Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus content of all samples was between 7.29 and 8.58, and Streptococcus thermophilus content was between 8.03 and 9.02 log CFU/g during storage. Yoghurt type and storage time statistically affected pH, acidity, water-holding capacity, apparent viscosity, rheological properties, organic and benzoic acid content, and some sensory parameters. The general acceptability scores of the probiotic, traditional, exopolysaccharide, and control samples during storage were 8.27, 7.82, 7.53, and 7.47 respectively. Moreover, the results revealed that the strain combinations for probiotic, traditional, and exopolysaccharide yoghurt samples can be used as novel starter cultures for yoghurt production.
La perspectiva hacker para la educación en derechos humanos en la cultura digital
Authors: Lapa Andrea 
Published: October 2024

This article presents a participatory and activist action-research project conducted in Brazil by the Federal Universities of Santa Catarina and Bahia, in collaboration with public schools. The systematized and researched experience offers a thoughtful reflection on the integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in human rights education, presenting it as both a challenge and an opportunity for new possibilities. The proposal merges hacker education with human rights education. The hacker education paradigm emphasizes the value of autonomy, agency, empowerment, authorship, and collective, collaborative production in an openness of sources and know ledges with, for, and through ICT. This paradigm intersects with the human rights education paradigm, particularly in its promotion of the acceptance of otherness and its commitment to democratic coexistence, plurality, and intercultural education. Based on a project carried out between 2018 and 2022 with basic education teachers, this research aimed to analyze the challenges and opportunities presented by the hacker perspective in human rights education in the digital age. The university-school action is analyzed through the collective understanding of the project's participants and presents principles to guide public policies, teacher education, and educational research, including the importance of research on the margins, the role of public intellectuals, the dismantling of the subject-object distinction, the promotion of non-hierarchical relationships between universities and schools, and the recognition of teachers as researchers.

Методом георадиолокации исследована трехслойная модель контакта “бетонная крепь - полость - породный массив” с учетом вариации толщины полости и электромагнитных свойств материалов, ее заполняющих. Численное моделирование основано на использовании метода конечных разностей во временной области. Результаты численного моделирования сопоставлены с результатами физического моделирования, реализованного с помощью георадара SIR-3000 и антенного блока Model52600 с рабочей частотой 2.6 ГГц (S-диапазона). Установлено влияние размеров полости в бетонной обделке и электромагнитных свойств заполняющего материала на точность измерения дальности до нижней границы полости, а также до неоднородности в виде металлической арматуры, расположенной непосредственно за полостью в породном массиве, и толщины самой полости.
The Ground Penetrating Radar method is used to study a three-layered model of the surrounding rock-void-lining interface with regard to variation in the void thickness and in the electromagnetic properties of the void filler. The numerical modeling uses the method of finite differences in the time domain. The numerical modeling data are compared with the results of the physical simulation implemented using SIR-3000 GPR with the Model 52600 antenna having the working frequency of 2.6 GHz (S-band). It is found that the size of the void behind concrete lining and the electromagnetic properties of a material filling the void have influence on the accuracy of ranging to the lower boundary of the void and to the discontinuity in the form of a steel bolt located immediately behind the void in surrounding rock mass.

Authors: Jeffery Roger D. , Nachimuthu Radha Krishnan , Faraone Lorenzo , Martyniuk Mariusz 
Published: October 2024

AbstractReactive sputtering of bismuth has been used to form highly oriented beta-phase Bi2O3 thin films at 120 °C. Notably, the films consist of nearly vertical ~ 50 nm diameter nano-filaments of highly aligned β phase pure bismuth oxide. The optical characteristics of the films include a direct optical bandgap of 3.95 eV at 300 K and nearly negligible optical absorption in the wavelength range from 500 to 3000 nm. Nanoindentation experiments show that the mechanical characteristics of the films include reduced modulus and hardness values of 90 and 4.5 GPa, respectively. As fabricated, the films exhibit tensile stress which in combination with a relatively high refractive index value in the range of 2.4–2.5 makes the realized Bi2O3 films structurally and optically suitable for fabrication of optical microelectromechanical (MEMS) devices with applications in the visible to mid-infrared wavelength region, such as MEMS-based Fabry–Pérot microspectrometers, which is demonstrated through simulations.

Анотація. Одним з напрямків, що визначають підвищення якості та вірогідності автоматизованих систем екологічного моніторингу стану повітряного середовища, є інтелектуалізація процесів обробки діагностичної інформації на основі технології експертних систем. Системи такого типу дозволяють забезпечити підвищення якості розпізнавання технічного стану контрольованого середовища. Найбільш ефективною системою моніторингу стану повітряного середовища є система з методами організації вимірювань, що базуються на індивідуальному спостереженні зміни складу повітряної суміші в процесі експлуатації шляхом вимірювань, проведених на постійній основі плином тривалих періодів часу. Але, певним чином, розвиток згаданих систем стримується недосконалістю відповідних датчиків газоаналізу. Ціль роботи полягає у впровадження новітніх засобів газоаналізу для запобігання негативного впливу небезпечних речовин на стан людини. Об'єктом дослідження є процеси формування й перетворення вимірювального сигналу у засобі контролю вмісту хлору. Предметом дослідження є волоконно-оптичні засоби вимірювання вмісту хлору. Пропонується вирішення поставленої задачі за рахунок впровадження нового волоконно-оптичного датчику. Відмінність датчика полягає у тому, що джерело випромінювання та фотоприймач сполучені оптичним розгалужувачем з вимірювальним світловодом, виконаним з ніобату літію, який вкритий чутливою плівкою з гідроксиду нікелю, має віддзеркалюючий шар на торці та сполучений з біметалевим розрізним кільцем.
Створення волоконно-оптичного датчику пропонованої конструкції дозволить отримати засіб вимірювання, який є інваріантним до неконтрольованих впливів дестабілізуючих факторів та має достатню чутливість до контрольованих параметрів. Застосування такого засобу сприятиме організації постійного та довготривалого контролю стану повітря у виробничих приміщеннях.

Abstract
Objective
A decline in routine vaccination coverage in children has been observed after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, but it is unclear whether these declines were sustained over time. This analysis assessed changes in vaccination coverage at ages 2 and 7 years for routinely administered vaccinations before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods
Vaccination coverage was measured using yearly data from the Standardized Reporting on Vaccination (STARVAX) surveillance system between December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2023. Four provinces (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and New Brunswick) and one territory (Yukon) produced reports from their immunization registries and provided the Public Health Agency of Canada with the numbers of vaccinated 2-year-old and 7-year-old children. Population estimates from Statistics Canada and the Yukon Bureau of Statistics were used as the denominators.

Results
There was a decline in vaccination coverage in 2023 compared to 2019. In 2-year-olds, coverage for one dose of the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and four doses of the diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccine decreased from 89.5% to 82.5% and from 79.9% to 72.1%, respectively. Among 7-year-olds, DTaP (up-to-date) and MMR (two doses) vaccination coverage decreased from 77.1% to 68.8% and 86.3% to 75.6%, respectively.

Conclusion
These declines are of concern and suggest that health care professionals should provide parents with accurate information regarding vaccines and encourage them to have their children vaccinated and keep vaccinations up to date.
