A.N. Whitehead and Process Thought
Authors: Stenner Paul 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This contribution offers a sense of the scope and transdisciplinary relevance of the philosophy of British mathematician and philosopher Alfred North Whitehead by providing an overview of the three main phases of his career. The contribution goes on to distinguish process thought from the substance thought which dominated modern philosophy, and to outline some of the ways in which Whitehead has influenced thought from across the full spectrum of academic disciplines.
The effect of language attitudes on proficiency in two heritage languages of Mountain Jews in Israel and the US
Authors: Shabtaev Ronald , Walters Joel , Armon-Lotem Sharon 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Mountain Jews (MJs), native of the eastern Caucasus, mass immigrated in the 1990s to Israel and the US. MJs brought with them two heritage languages (HLs): Russian, the language of wider communication in the former Soviet Union, and Juhuri, their traditional home language. The present study explores the effects of HL attitudes on proficiency among 146 Israeli and 138 American MJs differing in age (M = 35.42) and in education level. A questionnaire based on a triadic attitude model comprised of Affective, Behavioral, and Cognitive items was used to examine the impact of language attitudes on self-rated Comprehension and Production of the two HLs. Results showed more positive attitudes toward Russian than Juhuri in both Israel and the US, with highest values registered for the Affective component. Attitudes toward Russian did not differ across countries, whereas attitudes toward Juhuri were more positive in the US. Attitudes predicted proficiency of Russian better than Juhuri and better in Israel than in the US. The findings are discussed in light of societal and cultural differences between Israel and the US, in terms of ethnolinguistic vitality and the status of the societal languages, as well as the implications of the unique attitude structure of the two HLs in the two countries.
Sociolinguistic challenges and new perspectives on determining French speakers in Creole communities: the case of Haiti
Authors: Tézil David 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This study examines the sociolinguistic challenges and explores new perspectives on the evaluation of French competency in creole-speaking communities, particularly in Haiti. Due to the absence of an effective and adaptable French proficiency test in the country, the percentage of Francophones often varies between 5 % and 10 %, and as high as 42 %. This inconsistency may be the result of the assumption that schooling is an effective metric of French proficiency. In this study, I argue that while schooling creates some French speakers, it is not necessarily indicative of French proficiency for all Haitians. In other words, not all Haitians enrolled in schools can count as French speakers. I make three propositions to improve the accuracy of the proportion of French speakers in Haiti: (1) combining schooling with some proficiency instrument to determine French speakers; (2) using an adaptable proficiency test that is based on the salient features that distinguish French from Haitian Creole (Kreyòl); (3) controlling for sociolinguistic varieties such as Frenchified Kreyòl or Kreyòl swa to prevent the miscategorization of monolingual Kreyòl speakers as French speakers.

Electro discharge machining performance of cryogenic heat treated copper electrode
Authors: Apak Savaş , Ay Mustafa 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
In this study, the EDM machining performance of a cryogenic heat treated copper electrode was investigated. Within the scope of the study, electrodes selected from copper material were subjected to cryogenic heat treatment with a cycle between [room temperature/ − 184 °C/room temperature]. In the experimental design, the electrode material was changed at two levels: copper electrode (Cu) and cryogenic copper electrode (CCu). Controllable machine parameters, peak current (Ip), active pulse duration (Ton), pulse gap duration (Toff) and gap voltage (Vg) were changed at three levels. The effects of these parameters on outputs such as recast layer thickness (RLT), material removal rate (MRR), electrode wear rate (EWR) and taper angle (TA), which are taken into consideration in determining the processing quality after EDM machining experiments, were taken into account. A total of 18 experiments were carried out on Ti–6Al–4V (Titanium alloy) workpiece with copper electrode. Lower YKTK with combinations of EDM process parameters such as cryogenic copper electrode (CCu), 4 A peak current (Ip), 110 µs active pulse duration (Ton), 72 µs pulse gap time (Toff) and 6 V gap voltage (Vg), It was observed that EWR and TA and higher MRR were obtained.
Alois Riehls Blick auf Friedrich Nietzsche und sein Verhältnis zu Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche
Authors: Hlade Josef , Meer Rudolf 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Alois Riehl’s View of Friedrich Nietzsche and His Relationship with Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche. Alois Riehl and Friedrich Nietzsche were contemporaries – both were born in the same year, 1844. But the philosophical paths they followed could hardly be more different. Nevertheless, Riehl recognized Nietzsche as one of the most important thinkers of his time. He was one of the first academic philosophers to devote a detailed analysis to Nietzsche’s writings. And Riehl saw in Nietzsche’s work a complementary counterpart to the scientific philosophy that he developed in his Philosophical Criticism. At the heart of the present paper is a speech given by Riehl on October 15, 1903, on the occasion of the reopening of the Villa Silberblick and the unveiling of Max Klinger’s bust of Nietzsche. The argument is divided into three parts. First, it reconstructs the background to these events historically in light of the friendly relationship between Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche and Riehl, as well as Riehl’s hesitation to give a speech. Second, Riehl’s ambivalent attitude in his reception of Nietzsche is analyzed through a close reading of his text. Third, the paper concludes with a final look at the specific event of October 15, 1903, based on historical material.
Optimization method for low-velocity impact identification in nanocomposite using genetic algorithm
Authors: Wang Zhiyuan , Chen Long , Zhu Chenyang , Liu Zhanqiang , Song Qinghua 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) is prone to invisible damage caused by low-velocity impact (LVI) during service. The structural health monitoring system is of great significance for damage monitoring and maintenance of composite materials. In this study, four fiber Bragg grating sensors were employed to collect the time domain strain signals of composite materials subjected to LVIs. Furthermore, a numerical simulation model was established to rapidly obtain impact signal dataset. The signal arrival time, peak time, and peak amplitude were selected as signal features, and the backpropagation neural network was successfully applied to determine the location and energy of LVIs. To address the issue of peak feature extraction in the strain signal processing, a genetic algorithm-based sliding window peak detection optimization method was proposed, which significantly improved the final prediction accuracy. The experimental results indicated that within a position range of 300 mm × 300 mm, the average positioning error can reach 5.1 mm; and in an energy range of 0.5–1 J, the average energy prediction error can reach 0.030 J. The proposed method achieved accurate identification of the LVI location and energy for FRP.
Indigenous Accounts of Spiraling Time
Authors: Fritsch Matthias 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Time has often been understood as either linear or cyclical, sometimes in Eurocentric ways that enclose Indigenous peoples in natural cycles with little or no historical development. This article explores an alternative to the line and the circle. In the context of environmental destruction, Indigenous scholars have suggested that traditional Indigenous accounts of spiraling time, from the Anishinaabe and Māori to the Aztecs and Muskoke, better connect nature with human history as well as more appropriately link human generations, including ancestors and descendants. Exploring its connection with the hermeneutic circle and other notions, I will propose the spiral as indeed a promising way to grasp these important connections. In conclusion, I will discuss the question of whether Indigenous spiral ontologies can be proposed for all of humanity beyond knowledge extractivism.
Ethics of Motherhood in Chinese Traditions
Authors: Ge WANG 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
In this essay, I aim to highlight the neglected fundamental notion of Motherhood as an ethical principle within Chinese philosophy, particularly in Taoism. Traditionally, it has been relegated to the realm of the Yin-Principle or the Feminine, serving as a complementary as well as opposite pole to the Yang- or Masculine-Principle. However, this interpretation would lead to the narrowing of the primordial essence and potentially misinterpret the fundamental ethos of Taoism.
This exploration has implications that reach beyond its very theme. Through the discussions within contemporary Confucianism surrounding concepts like Tian-Xia (天下, All under Heaven), Qinqin (亲亲, Family), or role ethics, it becomes evident that a patriarchal emphasis often prevails, overshadowing the maternal character of Chinese Philosophy and Culture.
In contrast to monotheistic traditions where an almighty God creates ex-nihilo (out of nothing), Chinese mythology, as seen in the stories of Pangu and Nüwa, depicts an archaic development of the cosmos, distinct from the creation myths found in Western religions. Notably, the goddess Nüwa is credited with the creation of human beings.
In the following, I will explore the ethical dimensions of motherhood within Chinese philosophical traditions, notably within the intertwined contexts of Confucianism, Sinicized Buddhism, and particularly Taoism. Through this examination, my objective is to scrutinize the ethical and cultural underpinnings of Confucianism by juxtaposing the interplay between Confucian tenets like Ren (仁, benevolence, humanity) and self-cultivation with maternal ethical principles. This will underscore the differences between maternal and paternal roles within familial relationships and unveil the implicit authoritarianism inherent in Confucian paternalism.
The Great Wall and Time
Authors: Bing WEN 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Heidegger suggests that the manner of research is neither historiological nor systematic, but instead phenomenological. The phenomenological approach to time is to grasp time from the existence of Dasein. If time is understood from a phenomenological standpoint, the Great Wall has rich and vivid images, thus revealing very different life implications. But phenomenological time cannot be divorced from historical time or systemic time; otherwise, we cannot understand the life of the Other.
A Japanese Perspective of the Mind-Body-Land Connection
Authors: Abe Hiroshi 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
In this paper, I aim to interpret the mind-body-land connection that Christianity and Buddhism suggestively teach as a three-stage extension process of the field of experience, which proceeds accordingly as the three-step movement of our experience develops.
Drawing on the Japanese philosopher Nishida Kitaro, I first show why the mind or one’s subjective consciousness deserves to be regarded as the field of experience corresponding to the first phase of the movement of experience. I then explore how the second phase of the movement of experience requires the body as its corresponding field, which also serves as a seat of super-individual unity provided by the unifying power of nature. On this basis, I finally argue that this transpersonal power of nature is combined with that of society. Inspired by the Japanese philosopher Keiji Nishitani, I thus seek to clarify that these both powers are merged into the land as the ultimate field of our experience.
“Resacralizing” the Cosmos in a Post-secular Age
Authors: Bouso Raquel 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This paper reflects on the attempt to ‘re-sacralize’ the cosmos in the context of the ‘return of religion’ to the public sphere, which has led scholars to describe our age as post-secular. This phenomenon contrasts with the association between secularization and disenchantment with the world that seemed to characterize modernity in some Western societies. On the one hand, the paper considers the idea of the sacredness of nature as a means of promoting respect for it and preserving it. Here the question is posed as to what extent this attitude has a place in today’s religions. On the other hand, the feasibility of this possibility without displacing an anthropocentric vision of the world that seems to have been central to some religions is pointed out. Finally, these issues are illustrated with some concrete examples within the Buddhist and Christian traditions.

Published: August 2024

Аналитически исследуется влияние теплопотерь на возможность реализации наиболее эффективного газофазного режима горения одиночной частицы бора в воздухе при различных начальных температурах и давлениях окислительной среды с учетом возможного попадания частицы в воздушную среду, температура которой меньше температуры плавления бора, после ее воспламенения и выхода на стационарный режим газофазного горения. Разработана методика расчета предельной начальной температуры воздуха, ниже которой происходят охлаждение и гашение горящей частицы бора, и определены границы областей ее газофазного горения и гашения. Установлено, что при попадании в воздух с температурой ниже температуры плавления одиночной частицы бора, горящей в газофазном режиме, основным фактором, определяющим механизм ее горения, является температура воздуха, в зависимости от которой имеет место либо продолжение горения частицы в газофазном режиме, либо ее охлаждение и изменение режима горения на гетерогенный.
The effect of heat loss on the possibility of implementing the most effective gas-phase combustion mode of a single boron particle in air at various initial temperatures and pressures of the oxidizing medium is analyzed analytically, taking into account the possible entry of the particle into the air environment, the temperature of which is lower than the melting point of boron, after its ignition and reaching a stationary gas-phase mode combustion. A method for calculating the maximum initial air temperature below which cooling and extinguishing of a burning boron particle occurs has been developed, and the boundaries of the regions of its gas-phase combustion and extinguishing have been determined. It has been established that when a single boron particle burning in a gas-phase mode enters air with a temperature below the melting point, the main factor determining the mechanism of its combustion is the air temperature, depending on which either the continuation of combustion of the particle in the gas-phase mode or its cooling takes place and changing the combustion mode to heterogeneous.

The object of this study is the production costs of ecologically oriented innovative products.
The problem under consideration was to improve the efficiency of cost management for the production of eco-innovative products by improving the methodical approach to identifying reserves for their reduction in order to ensure competitive advantages and strengthen the economic and environmental security of the enterprise.
The devised methodological approach is based on a systematic analysis using economic and mathematical methods. It provides for the establishment of the dependence of costs per dollar of eco-innovative products on factors related to the economic potential of the enterprise, and the search for reserves for reducing costs for the production of eco-innovative products.
The analysis technology was substantiated and modeling of costs per dollar of eco-innovative products of the enterprise was carried out using the principal component analysis. A distinctive feature of the built model was the consideration of the influence of micro-level factors, risk management, and the innovative component of the enterprise's economic potential. The resulting model is significant and reliable since the variation of costs per dollar of innovative products depends on the change in the principal components under investigation by 85 %.
Within the framework of the devised methodical approach, a technology for calculating reserves for reducing production costs of enterprises producing eco-innovative products has been proposed. It was established that the potential of reducing costs per dollar of eco-innovative products for the totality of the investigated enterprises is on average 5.4 cents per dollar of costs.
The area of practical use of the devised methodical approach is the process of minimizing and optimizing costs per hryvnia of eco-innovative products
Numerical modeling of electrical parameters of LiFePO4 batteries
Authors: Buryk Mykola , Lobodzinsky Vadim , Buryk Ivan , Lisovyi Oleksandr 
Published: August 2024

The object of research is the physical processes of electric energy storage in Li-ion batteries. The problem being solved in the work is related to the lack of reliable mathematical models of storage batteries, which leads to the appearance of undesirable effects or emergency situations when changing operating modes.
In the course of the work, Li-ion battery models based on electrochemical theory and electrical circuits were considered. The six most common equivalent battery replacement schemes are presented. The advantages and disadvantages of the considered substitution schemes are given. The dual-polarization mathematical model was found to most accurately describe the performance of the battery at the end of the discharge and charge cycles compared to the first-order Thevenin model, the RC model, and the active resistance battery model. The physical processes in the storage battery during pulse discharge, which is the main part of electrical energy storage systems based on electrochemical technology, were studied. Mathematical modeling was carried out in the Matlab software package using the Simulink application program package. The dependence of the parameters of the equivalent lithium-ion battery replacement scheme according to the second-order Thevenin model on the ambient temperature and state of charge is considered. It was established that the value of EMF E depends more on the change in SOC than on temperature. In turn, the active resistance ROM shows a greater dependence on temperature than on the change in SOC. At high temperatures, the resistance value decreases. The parameters R1 and C1 characterizing the electrochemical polarization vary in the range from 10 to 75 % SOC. The parameters R2 and C2, which depend on the concentration polarization, vary in the intervals from 0 to 25 % SOC and 75 to 100 % SOC.
The recommendations for choosing a Li-ion battery model developed in the work can be used in practice. The established dependencies will help to better design electrical energy storage systems based on electrochemical technology.

The object of the study is the phosphates of the Djebel Onk region, which are part of a vast group of phosphate deposits formed in the Late Cretaceous-Eocene period on the South and Southeast Mediterranean shores. These concentrations of economic interest are operated near the town of Bir El Ater (Tebessa, Algeria). The mining industry based on the extraction and processing of different minerals while respecting the environmental framework plays an important role in the economy of a country. The economic potential of each country will be determined based on the level of production of metals and various mineral substances. In the case of the Djebel Onk phosphate ore, the most dominant mineral in addition to P2O5 is calcium carbonate CaCO3 with more than 50 % in the all-mineral content. In addition, phosphate concentrate contains harmful elements which reduce the value of the market product. Therefore, this study aims to recover the enriched product efficiently and profitably with a minimum of deleterious elements. This work aims to develop a treatment technology with a minimum rejection rate, which allows for achieving production goals and reducing environmental impacts. For this purpose, we proposed an enrichment of these phosphate discharges from the settling process utilizing pneumatic selection (Turbo Separator Ventilate – TSV). The results of the chemical analyses confirm the significant difference in useful and major elements (P2O5) and the minor and harmful elements (MgO). According to the granulochemical analysis of each slice, it is possible to note that the P2O5 content is similar to the various particle-size slices. It is therefore necessary to treat the mass of waste if we want to recover as much phosphate as possible. The obtained X-ray diffractograms highlighted appreciable differences between the raw phosphates and the concentrates, in fact, the qualitative and quantitative variation of the mineralogical species, particularly the calcite, quartz, dolomite, and apatite. TSV is a process used to improve the quality and quantity of phosphate and to eliminate the layer below 0.8 mm. Corresponding to the analyses it was appeared that the P2O5 content 29.5–30 % of the settled product increases to 30.2–31 % after dust removal. Then it is possible to achieve an increase in the quality of phosphate from 63/65 % TPL to 66/68 % TPL.
