Comparison of debris flow observations, including fine-sediment grain size and composition and runout model results, at Illgraben, Swiss Alps
Authors: Bolliger Daniel , Schlunegger Fritz , McArdell Brian W. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract. Debris flows are important processes for the assessment of natural hazards due to their damage potential. To assess the impact of a potential debris flow, parameters such as the flow velocity, flow depth, maximum discharge, and volume are of great importance. This study uses data from the Illgraben observation station in the central Alps of Switzerland to explore the relationships between these flow parameters and the debris flow dynamics. To this end, we simulated previous debris flow events with the RAMMS::Debrisflow (Rapid Mass Movement Simulation::Debrisflow) runout model, which is based on a numerical solution of the shallow water equations for granular flows using the Voellmy friction relation. Here, the events were modelled in an effort to explore possible controls on the friction parameters μ and ξ, which describe the Coulomb friction and the turbulent friction, respectively, in the model. Additionally, sediment samples from levee deposits were analysed for their grain size distributions (14 events) and their mineralogical properties (4 events) to explore if the properties of the fine-grained matrix have an influence on the debris flow dynamics. Finally, field data from various debris flows such as the flow velocities and depths were statistically compared with the grain size distributions, the mineralogical properties, and the simulation results to identify the key variables controlling the kinematics of these flows. The simulation results point to several ideal solutions, which depend on the Coulomb and turbulent friction parameters (μ and ξ, respectively). In addition, the modelling results show that the Coulomb and turbulent frictions of a flow are related to the Froude number if the flow velocity is < 6–7 m s−1. It is also shown that the fine-sediment grain size or clay-particle mineralogy of a flow neither correlates with the flow's velocity and depth, nor can it be used to quantify the friction in the Voellmy friction relation. This suggests that the frictional behaviour of a flow may be controlled by other properties such as the friction generated by the partially fluidised coarse granular sediment. Yet, the flow properties are well-correlated with the flow volume, from which most other parameters can be derived, which is consistent with common engineering practice.

Abstract: Synthetic fuels have gained considerable attention due to their promising characteristics. A comprehensive survey was undertaken to assess the availability of synthetic fuels in the global market, followed by an investigation to evaluate their potential in engines. This report presents the initial findings regarding the physical and chemical properties of synthetic gasoline-like fuels, specifically DMC (dimethyl carbonate), bioethanol, EtG (ethanol-to-gasoline), G40, and bio-naphtha. A comparison was conducted between these synthetic fuels and conventional gasoline. Furthermore, discussions were provided to enhance the understanding of the potential influence of fuel properties on spray and combustion characteristics. EtG and G40 are specifically designed to emulate conventional gasoline. Results indicate that EtG and gasoline should be directly interchangeable in the engine or blended in any proportion because they have almost identical Research Octane Number (RON)/Motor Octane Number (MON), fuel density, and higher heating value (HHV). G40 has a higher RON (105) compared with that of gasoline (92.2), likely resulting from the high content of iso-paraffin in G40. Bio-naphtha exhibits the high fraction of paraffin and naphthene content relative to other fuels. The feature of chemical compositions results in a lower RON (55.9), lower HHV and smaller fuel density compared to other fuels. DMC and bioethanol blends in gasoline were investigated. Regardless of whether DMC or bioethanol is incorporated, under a 60% blend ratio, gasoline distillation accelerates initially, until DMC or bioethanol completely evaporates, after which gasoline distillation returns to its normal rate. With increasing the volumetric fraction of the ethanol in the blends, either chemical compositions or the RON/HHV basically change linearly.

Um acidente é caracterizado como um evento casual, não intencional, causado por fatores externos, que resulta em danos corporais ou mentais. Por sua vez, os acidentes domésticos estão diretamente ligados ao ambiente em que a criança reside. O objetivo do estudo é descrever acerca da prevenção de acidentes domésticos na infância. Observa-se que os acidentes domésticos representam uma das principais causas de mortalidade infantil em todo o mundo. Muitas vezes, esses incidentes poderiam ter sido evitados por meio de medidas preventivas simples. No entanto, é preocupante constatar que as crianças enfrentam perigos nos próprios ambientes que deveriam ser seguros, contribuindo assim para as estatísticas de acidentes domésticos em escala global. Conclui-se que, faz-se necessário explorar mais a complexidade dos acidentes infantis, destacando sua incidência, fatores de risco e estratégias de prevenção. A partir da melhor compreensão desses aspectos, é possível fortalecer os esforços coletivos para proteger e promover o bem-estar das crianças, permitindo que cresçam e se desenvolvam em ambientes seguros e saudáveis. Assim como, estimular a educação dos pais, cuidadores e crianças sobre práticas seguras e medidas preventivas constitui a principal estratégia para a redução dos acidentes. Cabe destacar um papel importantíssimo dos profissionais da saúde, principalmente na atenção primária, consultas de puericultura e visitas domiciliares. A partir desses atendimentos pode-se identificar possíveis riscos de acidentes e trabalhar juntamente com a famílias maneiras de preveni-los. Como limitação, viu-se que asintervenções educativas abrangentes que abordam desde o armazenamento adequado de substâncias químicas e medicamentos até a importância de dispositivos de segurança em veículos e áreas recreativas são fundamentais para a promoção de um ambiente seguro para o desenvolvimento infantil.
Intertextuality of selected Arabic and Western literary works
Authors: Ababneh Imad Abedalkareem 
Published: March 2024

This paper conducts a comparative analysis of the literary-cultural impact of Arabic literature on Western literature. This research focuses on three literary comparisons taken from works that belong to Arabic and Western literature by means of a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the target textual data. The study chooses to address the following items: the Spanish play by Lope de Vega (1562-1635), La Doncella Teodor which has a similar Arabic version among the Arab tales of the Arabian Nights, the literary influence of the story of Zarqa al-Yamamah on Shakespeare’s play Macbeth and the literary mirroring of the Arabic story of Solomon and the Angel of Death onto Marquez’s novel Flee to Samarra by unveiling the aspects of the literary impact of each Arabic literary item. The study illustrates elements of intertextuality and functionality that close the gap between text and culture on each spectrum as well as between the Occident and the Orient by looking at the degree of similarity between these stories. This study contributes to offering insights into the literary intertextuality between Arabic literature and Western literature (Spanish and English) while also sheds light on the cross-cultural perceptions between the two forms of literature by examining the textual, cultural and psychological aspects of each extract compared with each other.

Perspective Chapter: The Primacy of Freedom over Equality as a Condition for Peace from Jean-Jacques Rousseau to Pope John Paul II
Authors: Kieliszek Zdzisław 
Published: March 2024

The author answers the question of which of the two values - freedom or equality – is more fundamental to peace in human relations. Four projects of public order are analyzed. First, J.J. Rousseau’s postulate that the fundamental condition for a peacefully functioning society is to guarantee equality among its members is discussed. Then, Karl Raimund Popper’s opposing idea that the fundamental principle of peaceful public life is the protection of freedom is presented. Then, A. de Tocqueville’s idea that religion plays a key role in a peaceful society, since its presence in the public sphere guarantees effective protection of citizens’ freedom and serves peace, is evoked. It also analyzes John Paul II’s observation that the Christian vision of man is in harmony with the ethos of a peaceful society whose fundamental value is freedom. It turns out that freedom is a more fundamental value than equality for peaceful relations between people. Moreover, the effectiveness of the defense of human freedom and the building of peace depends directly on the active presence of Christians in the public square. This activity should be manifested in the implementation of various educational and social projects by Christians.
Perspective Chapter: Basic Rules of Air Supremacy in the Last Thirty Years
Authors: Hovhannisyan Artsrun 
Published: March 2024

Modern warfare has brought with it the Electro-Fire Battle and Electro-Fire Fight. These are the new forms and methods of operational actions with no clear boundaries and only higher level of them are related to war. Operation “Desert Fox” carried out by the United States and Great Britain in Iraq in 1998 can be considered as a prototype of electro-fire action (operational level action). It was a 73-hour operation, during which four rocket-aircraft strikes were implemented lasting 6–9 hours. These correct electro-fire strikes and operations can break an anti-aircraft system of any density and quality. We can see these kinds of patterns in the wars of the last half century in the Middle East, Artsakh and Ukraine. This study is based on the facts of the wars carried out based on scientific-technical and military-scientific developments taking place in the world in the last thirty years. The method of combining facts and results, sometimes numerical results, was used for the study. Certainly, in military science the measurability of justifications is always difficult to prove with numerical data, sometimes they occur directly with political acts and results, however, it becomes possible to bring out patterns from several examples.

Evaluation of plant extracts for the management of Cowpea anthracnose disease caused by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum
Authors: Satpathy Manas Ranjan , Beura S K 
Published: March 2024

The fungus Colletotrichum lindemuthianum is both seed and soil borne which is the causative of cowpea anthracnose. This causes a significant loss of the crop and becoming a major hindrance in its bumper productivity in all countries where such crop is grown. In order to find out an environment friendly, sustainable control protocol, experiments were conducted by taking eight different plant extracts against the pathogen. The extracts were applied to the plant samples after the 25th day of germination in the field. Application of neem followed by ginger, onion, garlic and tulsi extracts effectively reduce the percent disease incidence by 90%, 85%, 82%, 79% and 76%, respectively. Similarly, the percent green pod yield increased by 134,127, 114, 93 and 84, respectively over control as well as the cost-benefit ratio which can be recommended to the farming community.
