Politics and Literature: Dictatorship in Junot Díaz’s The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
Authors: Matiu Ovidiu 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This article explores the political dimension of Junot Díaz’s work, focusing on the figure of the dictator as depicted in the footnotes to The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, in an attempt to analyze his view of the “dangers of dictatorship” in both literature and politics and to prove that the political attitudes of writers influence the way their literature “does” politics. Thus, a thorough analysis of the footnotes exposes The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao as a story about a nerd in New Jersey “dictated” by the narrator, which is challenged by the story of Rafael Leonidas Trujillo who “dictated” the recent history of the Dominican Republic.
Preliminary Analysis of Wind Parameters at the Planned Construction Sites of Wind Generators
Authors: Vorohobovs Vladimirs 
Published: March 2024

ABSTRACT
To choose optimal place for wind turbine, you need to know two basic parameters:

V
average – the average wind throughout the year (or during the season when more electricity is needed). The total amount of kilowatt hours of electricity you will get, depends on this parameter.

V
max – the maximum possible dangerous gust of wind during a storm. The required strength depends on this parameter and hence the cost of construction.

In order to evaluate the place itself, it is possible to combine these two parameters to only one physical parameter: VBojat
– the average wind speed which is devaluated by hurricanes.
In this article, it is called: “Bojatspeed”:

V

Bojat

=

V

average

3

V

max

\[{{V}_{\text{Bojat}}}=\frac{V_{\text{average}}^{3}}{V_{\max }^{2}}\]

.
Measurements for V
average must be done for at least a year, but for V
max for at least ten years. They are obligatory before any decision about construction of wind turbine. And not generally in the country, but exactly in the particular place. A system of two devices for such measurements is described in this article: anemometer and brazmometer. Both are made in Latvia. They are purely mechanical and include no electronics – that is why they do not require battery or any service during many years.

Authors: Thai Luom Thanh , Dang Ngoc Thi Hong , Dinh Quang Minh 
Published: March 2024

Purpose: The study aimed to provide a picture total of the forest and erosion status of the beach and dykes of Kien Giang and Ca Mau.

Method: There are 18 sample plots for testing. The map also includes 68 survey plots that are predefined and used as a basis for positioning in the field. The measurement indicators include tree species identification.

Results and conclusion: The level of erosion in Ha Tien’s forests varies based on tree density and environmental factors. The forest with no erosion has a thickness of 9,600 trees/ha and a stem diameter of 19 cm, while the extremely erosion forest has 2,000 trees/ha and a stem diameter of 6 cm. Topographically, Ha Tien has little erosion, while U Minh is a low-lying area with high erosion. Erosion levels are 1-2 in January-April, 4-5 in May-October and 3 in November-December. Currently, the section is divided into 28 sub-sections, with Kien Giang having 23. One sub-section is level 1, 11 sub-sections are level 2, 1 is level 3, 3 are level 4, and 3 are level 5. In Ca Mau, two sub-sections are level 4, and 3 are level 5.

Implications of the research: With climate change and rising sea levels, erosion levels tend to increase one level in sub-section areas in the coming years.

Originality/value: This study assesses forest and erosion status in Kien Giang and Ca Mau provinces, Vietnam, providing local insights into environmental challenges. It uses a rigorous methodology, analyzes erosion levels, and classifies the area into sub-sections. The study also highlights the potential impact of climate change on erosion, promoting proactive adaptation and mitigation efforts.

Published: March 2024

Beberapa praktikum di Program Studi Teknologi Rekayasa Pangan memerlukan enzim sebagai bahannya. Selama ini, enzim didapatkan dari nanas untuk bromelin dan kentang untuk katalase. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk memperbanyak jenis enzim yang digunakan untuk praktikum. Enzim yang ingin dicari adalah amilase. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh suhu inkubasi bakteri terhadap aktivitas amilase yang dihasilkan. Tiga isolat yang diuji yaitu A3-04, A3-02 dan G1-01 menunjukkan ketiganya memiliki aktivitas amilase. Zona bening yang dimiliki A3-04 terlihat memiliki ukuran yang paling besar dibandingkan dengan A3-02 dan G1-01, diduga A3-04 memiliki aktivitas amilase paling tinggi. Metode DNS (Dinitro salicylic acid) dilakukan untuk menentukan aktivitas amilase. Pengaruh suhu dan waktu inkubasi bakteri pada aktivitas amilase ditentukan dengan menumbuhkan kultur bakteri pada suhu 30, 35 dan 40oC. Sampel diambil pada waktu inkubasi 15, 16 dan 17 jam untuk dilakukan pengukuran aktivitas amilase. Selain aktivitas amilase, dilakukan juga pengukuran kepadatan sel bakteri dengan spektrofotometer pada panjang gelombang 600 nm. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, aktivitas amilase tertinggi terjadi pada inkubasi bakteri A3-04 pada suhu 35oC selama 17 jam. Dari hasil ini, rekomendasi yang dapat diberikan untuk memproduksi amilase adalah melakukan inkubasi bakteri A3-04 pada suhu 35oC selama 17 jam. Hasil identifikasi bakteri secara molekuler isolat A3-04 adalah Bacillus flexus strain Xh8 dengan tingkat kesamaan 100,00%.

Published: March 2024

In this paper, a 2х2 block operator matrix H is considered as a bounded and self-adjointoperator in a Hilbert space. The location of the essential σess(H) of operator matrix H is described via the spectrum of the generalized Friedrichs model, i.e. the two- and three-particle branches of the essential spectrum σess(H) are singled out. We prove that the essential spectrum σess(H) consists of no more than six segments (components).
