Authors: Bioud N. , Benchiheub N. 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
The effect of high pressures on the mechanical and thermal properties up to phase transition pressure for cubic rock-salt cadmium oxide (CdO) semiconducting compound is presented in this research. The calculations are based on the equation of state (EOS) parameters measured at ambient conditions reported in the literature. The approach used here was previously applied successfully for other materials. Our study shows that the parameters reflect the rigidity of the semiconductor and the melting temperature increases with increasing pressure, while some other parameters decrease gradually for our material of interest. A comparative analysis of some quantities for CdO compound under high pressure was done. Similar behaviors were observed in the literature for particular materials with particular structures. Furthermore, we calculated both the fracture toughness and the fracture surface energy, which are at around 1.23 MPa.m1/2 and 5.14 J.m-2, respectively.

Published: May 2024

Abstract
The primary objective of this research endeavor outlined in the thesis was to evaluate the impact of the individual dimensions of Customer-Based Brand Equity (CBBE) – brand awareness, brand association, perceived quality and brand loyalty – on the overall brand capital of the researched amateur football club Talent Warszawa. The author sought to discern which among the individual dimensions of CBBE exerted the most significant influence on fostering the overall brand capital of the club under examination. A questionnaire was distributed amongst the constituents of Talent Warszawa, including players, parents and guardians, players’ families, and supporters of amateur football. The survey garnered responses from a total of 102 stakeholders affiliated with the club. The reliability of the measurement scale was validated through Cronbach’s Alpha analysis.
The findings of the study evince a positive correlation among all variables under scrutiny, encompassing brand awareness, brand association, perceived quality, brand loyalty, and the overarching construct of CBBE. Notably, perceived quality emerged as the factor showing the highest positive correlation (0.88), thus indicating the most robust positive association with CBBE. However, despite the observed positive relationship, brand awareness manifested the lowest correlation with the overall consumer-based brand equity (0.70), relative to the other investigated factors.
Using the insights from this study, amateur sports clubs can strategically manage brand elements to foster brand equity, emphasizing the importance of brand awareness as an initial step in building a positive brand image and fostering fan engagement and loyalty. Overall, the findings provide valuable insights into effective brand management strategies for amateur sports clubs to enhance their brand equity and foster enduring relationships with fans.

Introduction. To ensure the safety and effective cleaning of highways and sidewalks from snow and ice in winter, it is necessary to use special equipment. But even at the stage of creating such equipment, designers need to know what loads will occur on the working equipment during its operation. Therefore, in order to develop milling working bodies for removing ice from road surfaces, it is necessary to conduct an experimental study in order to determine the loads arising on its working body.Materials and methods. The main purpose of the experimental study is to determine the cutting resistance force that occurs on the cutting element of milling working equipment during its application when cleaning ice and snow on highways and sidewalks. To implement the experiment, a pendulum stand was selected, which allows to study the effect of a separate cutting element of a milling cutter on ice.Results. The results obtained make it possible to predict changes in loads on the milling working body during operation. This makes it possible to develop more advanced designs of road milling equipment and modernize existing ones. The use of these dependencies also enables to determine the necessary structural strength of the milling drum for the normal operation of the equipment and to choose a rational section of the cutting elements.Discussion and conclusions. According to the results of the experimental work carried out, the dependences of the ice cutting resistance depending on the thickness of the cut layer, the type of ice (pure, a mixture of ice, sand and compacted snow with impurities, a mixture of frozen layers, frozen paving slabs and a sample of asphalt concrete) and its temperature were obtained.

Published: May 2024

Introduction. The relevance of the topic of the presented article is determined by the improvement of the technology for repairing and restoring machine parts. Currently, the technology of restoring piston pins of internal combustion engines (ICE) by a high-energy method of plastic deformation of metal using the energy of a high-voltage pulse discharge in a liquid is widely used – the electrohydraulic effect, and on its basis electrohydraulic processing. The purpose of the article is to increase the efficiency of the method of restoring piston pins of internal combustion engines due to the use of the electrohydraulic distribution method.Materials and methods. The research methods such as the analysis of the degree of influence of the electrical parameters of the electrohydraulic distribution process on the amount of deformation of the piston fingers depending on the relevant material were used. The article discusses a mathematical model of the electric discharge process when restoring piston pins. The calculation method determines the modes and parameters of the process of electrohydraulic distribution of piston pins while maintaining their fatigue life, static strength and wear resistance.Results. In this work, the degree of influence of the electrical parameters of the electrohydraulic distribution process on the amount of deformation of the piston pins, depending on the product material used, is established. A mathematical model of the electric discharge process during the restoration of piston pins has been developed, and based on them, the modes and parameters of the process of electrohydraulic distribution of piston pins have been determined while maintaining their fatigue life, static strength and wear resistance.Discussion and conclusions. The studies have shown that exploding wires made of iron, copper, and tungsten are not effective in restoring piston pins with an internal radius of up to 10 mm. The pressure in the case of their use does not exceed 100 MPa. Exploding Al wires with a diameter of less than one millimeter have the greatest effect. In this case, the inductance of the circuit should be minimal, because this provides the largest share of the energy released in the discharge channel from all stored in the capacitor. This ensures the highest pressure in the channel. Based on the same considerations, the capacity should be limited to a range of 3-12 UF. This method can be applied to the restoration of other car parts.

Published: May 2024

Background: Placental insufficiency and decreased placental nutrition transfer from the mother to the fetus are the underlying causes of intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR), a serious and very frequent issue in the perinatal period. Due to a lack of recent research in the area, the current study aims to compare the outcomes of two different feeding strategies for preterm infants with abnormal Doppler readings: early vs. delayed initiation of enteral feeds. Then we implement the better of the two feedings regimens into our standard clinical practice. Objective: The objective of the study was to compare early and late enteral feeding in preterm intrauterine growth restricted neonate to evaluate time to reach full feed, risk of feed Intolerance, weight gain at 10th day of life and length of hospital stays. Study Design: The Randomized Control Trial. Settings: This study was conducted in the neonatology department Tertiary Care Hospital (Nursery MCH Centre, Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, Islamabad Pakistan. Duration: 1st June 2022 to 1st December 2022. Methods: The sample was collected from the by non-probability consecutive sampling technique. Babies of any sex who meet the requirements during the first 72 hours of life. A total of 80 newborns were recruited out of them n=40 infants were found as early feeding and n=40 was assigned to late feeding. Demographic and baseline information (admission date, age, gender, gestational age, birth weight) of enrolled neonates recorded in the prescribed proforma. Effects of early or late feeding were monitored daily for 10 days. The outcomes in terms of time to reach full feed, weight gain at 10th day of life and feed intolerance were recorded and compared in both groups. All the information entered on the predesigned proforma by the researcher himself to comply with the study protocol attached. Results: A total of 80 newborns were recruited out of them n=40 infants were found as early feeding and n=40 was assigned to late feeding. The base line characteristics including birth weight, gestational age, respiratory support etc. were not statistically significant. Also, there is no difference of NEC (0.267) and FI (0.312) in early and late feeding groups. The Cox regression HR: 1.21 (95% CI: 0.829-3.72); p = 0.326). In both groups, the early feeding arm had a shorter median duration by 7 days. Further, the data was compared between early and late feeding group to determined which group is quicker for discontinuation of PN. Conclusion: Our study finds that using the feeding initiation and advancement method and AREDF on Doppler with exclusive breast milk results in faster PN cessation and does not increase the incidence of NEC or FI in preterm IUGR infants between 27 and 33 weeks of age.

This study aims to describe 34 experienced female EFL teachers’ experiences ICT professional development.. This study reports on: 1) encouraging and discouraging factors of ICT use for participants, 2) solutions of ICT integration for participants’ professional development, and 3) peers’ perception on participants’ improvement of ICT competencies. In order to investigate the external and internal factors on the participants' ICT professional development experiences, a sequential explanatory design with mixed methods approach was used in the study. In the first phase, a questionnaire was used as the instrument to categorize participants into satisfactory ICT proficiency and less satisfactory ICT proficiency. The second phase was one-on-one interviews to find further information on the participants’ experiences on ICT professional development. The questionnaire was analyzed using SPSS, while interviews were analyzed using deductive content analysis which employs four stages in its process. Results show that all teachers with proper ICT proficiency and those who are less proficient in ICT have positive perceptions of the use of technology in education. However, there are differences in how they solve internal and external problems, and how they perceive guidance from peers and also support from the school environment. This study recommends universities and the government to develop programs of ICT professional development suitable for experienced female teachers.
