Цель исследования - изучение средств получения и перспектив применения компрессионной пены в пожаротушении. Представлена схема изготовления компрессионной пены (пенный концентрат выступает в качестве пенообразователя) и схема автономной установки изготовления компрессионной пены. Отмечено, что одним из существенных преимуществ CAFS является возможность создания готового продукта, соответствующего конкретному типу горючего или конкретной ситуации. Определены характеристики продукта SmartCAFS. Представлена типология использования компрессионной пены в зависимости от типа инцидента. Приведены результаты испытания на огнестойкость различных пен. Системы пожаротушения, основанные на применении компрессионной пены, получают широкое распространение, поскольку такая технологии не нуждается в большом количестве воды, позволяет быстро покрывать большие площади, сводя к минимуму любой причиненный ущерб и риск дальнейшего распространения пожара. Кроме того, системы пенообразования на сжатом воздухе можно разместить на гораздо меньшей площади, чем альтернативные решения, что значительно снижает требования к инфраструктуре и расходы. Перспективы развития систем CAFS заключаются в их интеграции с цифровыми технологиями.
The subject of the article is modern fire extinguishing technologies based on compression foam. The purpose of the study is to study the means of obtaining and the prospects for using compression foam in firefighting. A diagram of the production of compression foam is presented (the foam concentrate acts as a foaming agent) and a diagram of an autonomous installation for the production of compression foam. It is noted that one of the significant advantages of CAFS is the ability to create a finished product that matches a specific type of fuel or a specific situation. The characteristics of the SmartCAFS product have been defined. A typology of the use of compression foam depending on the type of incident is presented. The results of fire resistance tests of various foams are presented. Fire extinguishing systems based on the use of compression foam are becoming widespread because this technology does not require large amounts of water, allows it to quickly cover large areas, minimizing any damage caused and the risk of further spread of the fire. In addition, compressed air foam systems can be installed in a much smaller footprint than alternative solutions, significantly reducing infrastructure requirements and costs. The prospects for the development of CAFS systems lie in their integration with digital technologies.
Turmeric Topical Application: An effective solution for reducing breast milk secretion delays in new mothers
Authors: Ariestini Tri Ratna , Aden Christine , Berthiana Berthiana , Mashar Harlyanti Muthma'innah 
Published: October 2024

Background: The problem of low coverage of exclusive breastfeeding is partly influenced by insufficient breast milk production. The percentage of exclusive breastfeeding in infants under six months of age in Central Kalimantan in 2020 was 52.98%. This percentage was among the lowest nationally. In 2021, the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in infants under six months of age reached 56.8%, and in 2022 it did 60.5%. The figure in 2022 exceeded the set target, but several regencies/cities still had low coverage. Insufficient breast milk supply impacts on the nutritional status of the child. Low breast milk production also arises due to several other factors during breastfeeding, namely late initiation of breastfeeding, long breastfeeding time, sore nipples, breast pain and swelling, and inverted nipples.
Aims: The study sought to measure the level of success of turmeric topical application in shortening the time it takes to initiate breast milk secretion.
Methods: The study uses a true experimental posttest-only control group design. A subject of 50 mothers having full-term spontaneous deliveries and with normal breasts was used in the study. The sample was divided into two groups: control and intervention groups. The sample was selected using a matching process based on age, parity, and early initiation of breastfeeding. Subjects who met the inclusion criteria were offered whether they were willing to be given turmeric compresses after the delivery process. Subjects who were willing were included in the intervention group and those who were not willing were included in the control group. Age and parity in the intervention group were all taken, while the control group was selected to match the intervention group. The intervention group was given a treatment with a turmeric compress on the breasts for six hours. All participants were then observed for time of breast milk secretion initiation. In this experiment, we didn't perform blinding, but we managed it by having the midwife administer the turmeric compress just once during the delivery process before sending the client home. Following this, we recorded the results, specifically the initial breast milk release in both the intervention and the control group.
Results: The average time periods it took to initiate breast milk secretion in the intervention and control groups were 509.96 minutes (8.5 hours) and 1573.76 minutes (26.2 hours), respectively. There was a significant difference (p = 0.023) in the time of breast milk secretion initiation of 1063.8 minutes or 17.73 hours between both groups.
Conclusion: Applying a turmeric compress on the breasts of postpartum mothers may shorten the time it takes to initiate breast milk secretion.

On aggregation invariance of multinomial processing tree models
Authors: Erdfelder Edgar , Quevedo Pütter Julian , Schnuerch Martin 
Published: October 2024

AbstractMultinomial processing tree (MPT) models are prominent and frequently used tools to model and measure cognitive processes underlying responses in many experimental paradigms. Although MPT models typically refer to cognitive processes within single individuals, they have often been applied to group data aggregated across individuals. We investigate the conditions under which MPT analyses of aggregate data make sense. After introducing the notions of structural and empirical aggregation invariance of MPT models, we show that any MPT model that holds at the level of single individuals must also hold at the aggregate level when it is both structurally and empirically aggregation invariant. Moreover, group-level parameters of aggregation-invariant MPT models are equivalent to the expected values (i.e., means) of the corresponding individual parameters. To investigate the robustness of MPT results for aggregate data when one or both invariance conditions are violated, we additionally performed a series of simulation studies, systematically manipulating (1) the sample sizes in different trees of the model, (2) model parameterization, (3) means and variances of crucial model parameters, and (4) their correlations with other parameters of the respective MPT model. Overall, our results show that MPT parameter estimates based on aggregate data are trustworthy under rather general conditions, provided that a few preconditions are met.

Published: October 2024

El uso de Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación (TIC) ha sido clave en la transformación educativa, especialmente desde la pandemia de 2019. Este trabajo se centra en la mejora de la infraestructura tecnológica de una institución educativa con equipos obsoletos y mala conectividad. Se aborda la actualización de la red de datos y los equipos de la sala de cómputo. La metodología combina el modelo PPDIOO con el ciclo de vida clásico de sistemas, adaptándose a las limitaciones presupuestarias. Se diseño una solución integral para la actualización tecnológica del plantel, implementándose una red de datos y una segunda línea de Internet, mejorando con ello la conectividad y reduciendo la latencia. Aunque la operatividad en las áreas clave ha mejorado, persisten desafíos en la infraestructura inalámbrica. Es importante realizar inversiones estratégicas, como el arrendamiento de equipos, para combatir el problema de la actualización de equipos. El proyecto se alinea con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) 4, 9, 10 y 12, al mejorar la equidad educativa, fomentar la innovación en infraestructuras y promover el uso responsable de recursos mediante la renta de equipos. Con ello se establece la base para la actualización tecnológica a largo plazo.

Abstract
Hubble Space Telescope imaging shows that most star-forming galaxies at cosmic noon—the peak of cosmic star formation history—appear disk-dominated, leaving the origin of the dense cores in their quiescent descendants unclear. With the James Webb Space Telescope’s high-resolution imaging to 5 μm, we can now map the rest-frame near-infrared emission, a much closer proxy for stellar mass distribution, in these massive galaxies. We selected 70 star-forming galaxies with 10 < log(M) < 12 and 1.5 < z < 3 in the CEERS survey and compare their morphologies in the rest-frame optical to those in the rest-frame near-IR. While the bulk of these galaxies are disk-dominated in 1.5 μm (rest-frame optical) imaging, they appear more bulge-dominated at 4.4 μm (rest-frame near-infrared). Our analysis reveals that in massive star-forming galaxies at z ∼ 2, the radial surface brightness profiles steepen significantly, from a slope of ∼0.3 dex−1 at 1.5 μm to ∼1.4 dex−1 at 4.4 μm within radii <1 kpc. Additionally, we find their total flux contained within the central 1 kpc is approximately 7 times higher in F444W than in F150W. In rest-optical emission, a galaxy’s central surface density appears to be the strongest indicator of whether it is quenched or star-forming. Our most significant finding is that at redder wavelengths, the central surface density ratio between quiescent and star-forming galaxies dramatically decreases from ∼10 to ∼1. This suggests the high central densities associated with galaxy quenching are already in place during the star-forming phase, imposing new constraints on the transition from star formation to quiescence.
Arquitectura monumental de tradición púnica en Iberia: los monumentos turriformes de Cástulo (Linares, Jaén)
Authors: Robles Moreno Jesús , Arias de Haro Francisco , Castro López Marcelo 
Published: October 2024

En este artículo se estudian una serie de fragmentos arquitectónicos decorados con relieve de época ibérica procedentes de Cástulo (Linares, Jaén). Algunos se han restituido tradicionalmente como pertenecientes a un naiskós o edificio religioso de raigambre púnica. El hallazgo de nuevos fragmentos tipológicamente vinculables y el empleo de la fotogrametría y modelado 3D nos llevan a plantear una nueva restitución. Proponemos que no se trata de un naiskós, sino de uno o varios monumentos turriformes ibéricos de clara raigambre púnica, como ilustra su forma de nefesh y la incorporación de falsos vanos o de capiteles eólicos en sus fachadas. Estos sillares y su monumento –o monumentos- suponen un nuevo testimonio sobre la arquitectura de tradición púnica en el territorio de Cástulo, quizá motivada por la llegada de artesanos cartagineses a la Alta Andalucía desde mediados del IV a. C.
Differences in perspectives on the Christian revolution of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in China
Authors: Wang Shuihuan E. 
Published: October 2024

In terms of civilian casualties directly and indirectly caused by the war, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement was the largest war in world history in the second half of the nineteenth century and had a strong East Asian Christian background. This article adopts the ‘historical contextualism’ approach of the Cambridge School in the history of political thought, and through a comparison of the relevant views of Karl Marx, Max Weber and Kang Youwei, it reveals that this intentional omission comes from a specific combination of modernisation routes and modernisation political construction choices. In contemporary China, the study of Christian theory and the practice of church organisation still need to answer the question of the general public as to whether Christianity can bring about a better life, both materially and spiritually.Contribution: This article pointed out that three contemporaries, Marx, Weber and Kang, all evaluated the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement as a revolution of Christianity in China from the standpoint of ‘China’s need for modernisation’, but differed in their evaluation of the position and role of the religious reform factor in the process of modernisation in China. However, they differed in their assessment of the position and role of the Reformation factor in the process of modernisation in China. The article reveals that for Protestant Christianity in contemporary China, it is still necessary to carefully handle its relationship with the government and to satisfy the people’s real needs for a modernised material and spiritual life. Meanwhile, it sheds light on the issue of ‘heterocultural adaptability’ brought about by the expansion and spread of Protestant Christianity in East Asia, as well as on the question of whether Protestantism and Confucianism in the process of modern conversion can achieve peaceful coexistence.
More landless, more problems: Investigating the relationship between land and income inequality in Africa
Authors: Raimi Rasaq , Phiri Andrew 
Published: October 2024

Background: In pursuit of greater equality, African nations have implemented land reforms to increase land ownership among indigenous citizens. Despite these efforts, Africa remains one of the world’s most unequal regions.Aim: In line with the sustainable developmental goals (SDGs) 10 of the Equal World campaign, the study investigates how land ownership influences income inequality in African countries. We create a unique time series measuring landholders per square kilometre of agricultural land and explore its relationship with income inequality.Setting: The analysis covered the period of 2000–2020, using data from the World Bank gender data portal and World Bank Development Indicators to compute the land inequality index.Method: Conventional cointegration and advanced wavelet coherence techniques are employed to examine the influence of land ownership on inequality.Results: Traditional estimators reveal a long-run positive relationship between land ownership and income inequality, with bi-directional causality, implying that African countries with higher (lower) land concentration are associated with higher (lower) levels of inequality. However, wavelet coherence analysis reveals that only 8 countries exhibit a positive relationship, while 16 show a negative relationship, and 2 show an insignificant relationship. Notably, most countries with a negative (positive) relationship (did not) implement additional land reforms after 2000.Conclusion: We conclude that countries that fail to undergo continuous adjustments in land reforms risk experiencing a higher concentration of land ownership and income inequality. This study’s findings underscore the importance of land policy updates for long-term equity.Contribution: Unlike previous studies using the Gini Land coefficient, this study measure agricultural landowners per square kilometre, capturing the entire population and its relationship with income inequality.

Factors associated with harmful practices of rape and early marriage, legal issues, and challenges in some selected districts in the South Gondar Zone, Amhara region in Ethiopia
Authors: Yosef Gebremikeal , Workneh Alemnew 
Published: October 2024

Harmful societal practices, like child marriage and rape, are widely prevalent in Ethiopia. The reasons for society's rules are fluid and depend on the socio-cultural orientation of the people. The research aimed to understand the factors that influence early marriage and rape and investigate challenges and legal concerns in the county's gender-based violence laws. The study used a descriptive-qualitative approach with multiple cases. As a method of data collection coupled with a guide, twelve in-depth interviews with local elders, nine key informant interviews with victim women, girls, and parents, and three focus group discussions (one in each district) with law practitioners, harmful practice prevention team members, and gender-based violence officers from the women and children's offices were employed. The study found that high unemployment, distant school placement, cultural norms and values, and economic and social insecurity are the determinants of early marriage and rape. The study recognized challenges in crime investigation, legal and law enforcement issues, corruption, insufficient administration, and information gaps. Moreover, the study recommends creating adequate target-based awareness and capacity building for stakeholders, empowering women and their families, wisely utilizing religious leaders and the elderly, amending the country’s gender-based violence law, and punishing criminals.

Ending child marriages through young people’s movement building: the case of community champions in Mutasa District, Zimbabwe
Authors: Mushunje Mildred T , •	Ismail-Mauto Hamida , Mazhambe Raymond 
Published: October 2024

Despite efforts made to promote gender equality in all spheres of life, women, especially young girls below the age of 18 years from marginalised African communities continue to face a plethora of challenges such as harmful practises and negative gender stereotypes which hinder them from realising their full potential. Included in these harmful practises is the abhorrent act of child sexual exploitation in the name of child marriages. There are several initiatives by different actors to end child marriages and Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) Africa Trust (SAT), Zimbabwe is one Civil Society Organisation (CSO) that has made significant strides in contributing towards ending child sexual exploitation. The organisation works to empower adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) to define their needs and undertakes various forms of advocacy including awareness raising and direct advocacy with key decision-makers. Interventions contribute to reducing self-stigma that disempowers adolescents and young people from realising their full potential. This article discusses an intervention that SAT has spearheaded in a bid to contribute to the end of child sexual exploitation and the role social workers can play to work with Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) such as SAT in ending child marriages.
