FOUNDATIONS OF AFRICAN PERCEPTIONS ON SECURITY AND VIOLENCE. OVERLAPPING THE NEED FOR PEACE WITH THE NARRATIVES OF STRUGGLE, A SAFE WAY OR AN AFRICAN WAY?
Authors: STOICA Diana Sfetlana 
Published: December 2023

Would western defined security be an African security and would this reproduce, or develop, from indigenous African ontologies, so that African understanding of security and violence could actually bestow to the global peacekeeping actions? Considering this research question, focused on the understanding of security and violence in an African postcolonial and maybe de-colonial taxonomy, the present paper invites to reflect on the evolution of the concepts of security and violence in African scholarships, their connections with the sustainable African social development narratives that seem to monopolize the space of debates in African Studies. Moreover, the intentions are to explore the disruptions between the need for peace and the narratives of struggle in the context of a critical resistance to the global connecting and disconnecting biases that define the conceptual “security” and “violence”. This content analysis and critical look on the becoming of the term of violence, at the base of a typical evolution of the term security, in African literature or African focused debates, might contribute to defining that security and violence are floating terms, their understanding in an African taxonomy should be Africanized, being highlighted that security includes violence as inner boosting element, that allows for the two to be in a strange relationship, recalling for attentive consideration and critics on the application of Western inspired peacekeeping actions that do not take into account specific conditions such as territory and culture.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
The automobile sector has been making increasing efforts to reduce the weight of automobiles, aiming at mitigating pollutant gas emissions. The use of innovative concepts, such as bimetallic components, has become attractive because it makes it possible to increase the strength-to-weight ratio of the components. In this study, the hot forging of a bimetallic crosshead is investigated. In the process, a billet with a cylindrical core of the magnesium alloy AZ61 is enclosed with a hollow cylinder of the aluminum alloy AA 6351 and forged at 400°C. The objective is to reconcile the low density of Mg alloys with the high corrosion resistance of Al alloys. In parallel, a finite element analysis of the process was carried out.
The Effects of ArC Voltage and Shielding Gas Type on the Microstructure of Wire ArC Additively Manufactured 2209 Duplex Stainless Steel
Authors: Kemény Dávid Miklós , Sándor Bence , Varbai Balázs , Katula Levente Tamás 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Duplex stainless steels (DSSs) are widely used due to their corrosion resistance. Austenite and ferrite determine the excellent properties. Ferrite provides strength and good corrosion resistance, while austenite provides toughness and weldability. During our research, samples were produced with ER 2209 duplex steel wire using wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM). Two different 17 V and 19 V arc voltages were used during the production. Two shielding gases were used for each voltage: M12-ArC-2.5 and M12-ArHeC-20/2. The research aimed to determine the ferrite ratio as a function of the welding parameters. The ferrite (or austenite) content must be between 30% and 70% for duplex stainless steel welds, according to the ISO 17781 standard. Based on our research, it can be stated that the austenite ratio increases as the voltage increases, thus failing to fulfill the standard's requirements. The helium content reduced the ferrite ratio even when the 17 V voltage was used due to the gas's higher ionization potential. During the metallographic examination, our welded samples met the standard requirements for the austenite content for 17 V arc voltage and M12-ArC-2.5 shielding gas. The ferrite content in the entire sample cross-section fell between 30-42% during feritscope and image analysis measurements. These welding parameters can be recommended for industrial applications.
Dental changes and space gained as a result of early treatment of pseudo-Class III malocclusion
Authors: Gu Yan , Rabie A. Bakr M. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This study was designed to investigate the dental changes and the space gained following early treatment of pseudo-Class III malocclusion, using a simple fixed appliance. Twenty-one consecutively treated patients who had a pseudo-Class III malocclusion comprised the treated group. Fifteen untreated control subjects were used as matched controls for the three-year follow-up after completion of treatment. Lateral cephalograms and study models were analysed for the treated, the control and the follow-up group. The arithmetic mean and standard deviation were calculated for each variable, and paired t-tests were performed to assess the effects of treatment on the treated group. The Mann-Whitney test was performed to evaluate the difference between the follow-up group and the control group. Anterior crossbites and mandibular displacements were eliminated after the treatment. On average, the space gained as a result of the treatment was 4.7mm in the upper arch (p<0.001°). Comparison of the space available as a result of early treatment with the space required for alignment of posterior segments in the upper arch of the untreated control group indicated that there was enough space for the eruption of the canines and premolars as a result of early treatment; whereas, lock of space was evident in the untreated controls. In conclusion, a pseudo-Class III malocclusion, proclination of the upper incisors and/ or retroclination of the lower incisors contributed to the correction of anterior crossbite and the elimination of mandibular displacement. Proclination of the upper incisors, utilisation of leeway space, and arch-width increase provided the space required for eruption of the premolars and canines.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Based on the quality control diagnostics of the used base layers on the interstation railway section Palárikovo - Nové Zámky, the article analyzes the achieved results of static load tests that were carried out on the plane of the sub-ballast upper surface. The verification of the values is based on the project documentation, in which, on the basis of a previously performed geotechnical survey, the designer proposed a suitable type of structural sub-ballast layers. The design of the structural sub-ballast layers reflects the expected deformation resistance of the subgrade surface, its water regime, the railway line characteristic (speed zone), the type of construction work (reconstruction) and also takes into account the principle of conservation of natural resources (recycling of recovered ballast bed material).

Published: December 2023

Abstract
This study is carried out to find wastewater quality index in treated wastewater, and Statistical analysis was done in various collected samples in sewage treatment plant, Panjappur, Trichy. This study presents a Statistical analysis of the physicochemical parameters of sewage wastewater. Nearly twenty parameters of two different months were analysed using data from physico -chemical analyses. A Continuous Waste Water Quality Index (CWWQI) was established to gauge the overall state of treated wastewater quality. By taking into account previously set quality limitation norms, the index condenses a substantial number of measured quality characteristics into a single water quality term. To identify treatment process performance, the interdependencies between the variables were determined by using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). This study presents Factor analysis to identify the pollution and its type. The methods and approaches discussed in this study offer a framework for evaluating the monitoring programme for wastewater treatment.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
The study analyzed the current situation of public hospitals in the capital of Baghdad exclusively and diagnosed the resources available; especially after the high demand for these hospitals as a result of the citizen’s need to review the hospital to take care of them, especially after the Corona pandemic. Eight major hospitals in Baghdad were selected to determine the current reality of providing fire safety tools or equipment and what are the preventive measures needed to reduce it. The results after practical study showed many defects and weaknesses in the current situation due to their reliance on the traditional management to manage and provide all preventive measures and safety tools, which was also confirmed by the results of the field survey that indicated a large gap and absence of an internal protection system against fire accidents. The study concludes by suggesting basic alternatives to improve the safety of hospital buildings, including improving system evaluation, establishing a management system for firefighting equipment, periodic monitoring and accident analysis, and establishing a reliability management system for safety training. The study recommends to activating a new management system to improve the current utilization in Iraqi public hospitals.

Authors: Hussein Israa S. , Jassam Mahmood G. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The current work is directed to study the variation of suction with time and soil water characteristics curve (SWCC) for natural and treated gypseous soil treated with two types of additive (lime and silica fume) compacted at different initial degrees of saturation S0 = 20 and 50 %. Soil subjected to wetting in an upward direction. Three types of gypsum soils were experimented with different gypsum content 15, 35, and 60 % taken from various sites in Salah Al-dean government, Iraq. The main results show that the air-entry value, residual values, and the time required for the entire saturation stage increases with increasing gypsum content and treatment with lime and silica fume and they for soil treated with silica fume are greater than for soil treated with lime. The rate of flow for soil treated with silica fume is less than that of soil treated with lime. The treated soil is more effective in increasing the time required for the entire saturation stage and decreasing the rate of flow when compacted at an effective degree of saturation S0 = 50 %.
Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Beams with Textile-Reinforced Concrete
Authors: Abd-Al-Naser Marwa , HARBA Ibrahim S. I. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Numerous problems that can occur during regular building use may necessitate the need for reinforced concrete RC members to be strengthened. An increase in live loads or structural damage is two examples. Various techniques can be used to increase load-carrying capability. Concrete reinforcement with textile-carbon fiber (TCF) is a more recent option. For almost all active forces, this strengthening procedure is appropriate. For bending, shear, torsion, or axial forces, strengthening is an option. The experimental work for this study examined the impact of textile carbon mesh in reinforced concrete with various numbers of layers and sikadure-330 as the bonding material with different damage ratio (0%, 45%, 55% and 70%). As well as the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with TCF, by casting and testing 13 beams under the monotonic load, one of them represented the control beam, they designed according to ACI 318-14 to ensure flexural failure. From the results obtained in this study it was shown that the flexural capacity of all strengthened beams increased as a consequence of TCF strengthening. Therefore, TCF jacketing is a very promising technique for increasing reinforced concrete flexural capability, which is necessary for retrofitting and strengthening.
Investigation of Using Waste Glass Powder (WGP) as a Partial Natural Sand Replacement in Concrete for a Potential Use in Iraqi Construction Field
Authors: Esam Shareef Mohammad , Ghanim Abdulrazzaq Dheyaa , Alshijlawi Murtatha 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Glass waste contributes about 5% of the total solid waste generated worldwide that ends up in landfills without recycling resulting in considerable environmental harm. In this research, Waste Glass Powder (WGP) was studied to be used as a supplementary material substituted with sand in the concrete mix. The concrete mixes were prepared by replacing the natural sand with WGP in weight proportions of 10% to 50%, with a 10% increment to examine the mechanical effect of WGP addition on concrete performance in the fresh and hardened status. The concrete mixes were tested to evaluate the compressive strength for curing ages 7, 14, 21, 28, 56, and 90 days. Splitting tensile strength was also tested for curing at ages of 7, 14, 21, and 28 days. The obtained results showed a notable decrease in workability value for all concrete mixes with WGP addition. Also, the addition of WGP decreases the compressive strengths of all concrete mixes. However, the WGP enhanced the splitting tensile strength by about 12%. It has been concluded that the WGP can be used as a substituted material replaced with sand up to 30%, which was the optimum replacement ratio based on the Iraqi required specifications. By using this ratio, the compressive strength was decreased by 18% at 28 days of concrete curing age.
An evaluation of the effectiveness of distance learning using ICT in geographical education. From the experiences of teachers in Poland
Authors: Hibszer Adam , Tracz Mariola 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The article presents the results of a survey conducted among Polish geography teachers. The purpose of the research was to examine use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in geographical education, carried out remotely after the end of the Lockdown. The collected opinions show that the vast majority of teachers now use information obtained from the Internet and free applications in lessons much more often than before the Covid-19 pandemic. The forced abandonment of traditional classroom learning and its replacement with distance learning has contributed to the development of new skills among teachers and students. Despite the initial reluctance caused by the lack of preparation for the use of new information technologies, geography teachers see many advantages to remote teaching using ICT. In the opinion of those surveyed, the acquired practical digital and communication skills have a positive impact on the teaching of geography. Respondents emphasized that distance learning should only be a supplement to traditional education and used in exceptional situations.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
The biosphere reserves are hybrid territories united protected and non-protected areas with the soft economic and social activities. They bring unique opportunities for local people, businesses and other relevant stakeholders. However, because of low public awareness the potential of some biosphere reserves, is not adequately utilized. This article addresses the research gap related to the identification of the importance of promoting the sustainable development of biosphere reserves and the possibilities of exploiting and enhancing their spatial development. The aim of the research was to clarify the role and importance of promotion for the sustainable development of biosphere reserves. It was focused on investigating the importance of promotion tools in terms of creating awareness of biosphere reserves. The research took place in two Slovak biosphere reserves – Poľana and the Tatras. This article identifies and analyzes the use of promotional tools in these two selected biosphere reserves through secondary sources (websites, profiles on social networks) and in-depth interviews with the managers of these biosphere reserves. The awareness of biosphere reserves was researched with the use of a questionnaire survey in both biosphere reserves. This article defines the problem areas and opportunities, which may contribute to the development of awareness about biosphere reserves which is inevitable for their further sustainable development. The research results confirmed that their promotion influenced the sustainable development of the biosphere reserves. Thanks to their accurate promotion, entrepreneurs and residents can better evaluate the impact of their activities on the sustainability of a biosphere reserve. This contributes to reducing the conflicts that arise between nature protection and economic and social profit.
Record of aeolian processes in Pleistocene deposits in the foreland of the European sand belt
Authors: Dulias Renata 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This article presents the degree of aeolization of Pleistocene deposits in the foreground of the European sand belt in southern Poland. Ten of the 13 sites were established in the Oświęcim Basin and three in the south part of the Silesian Upland. Attention was focused on four types of deposits formed during three glaciations (Sanian, Odranian, Vistulian): boulder clay, fluvioglacial sands and gravels, end moraine deposits, and aeolian sands. Quartz grain abrasion (for the 0.8–1.0 mm fraction) was examined by mechanical graniformametry and the morphoscopic method. The record of aeolian processes in analyzed deposits is the presence of quartz grains RM (very well-rounded and mat) and EM/RM (moderately rounded and mat). They were found in deposits of various origins and ages but in variable proportions. Considering only the average percentage of grains RM, it should be regarded that abrasion of deposits is low in the case of fluvioglacial deposits, moderate in the case of glacial deposits, and good in the case of aeolian deposits. However, the key factor in determining the degree of abrasion is the share of EM/RM grains, which in the abovementioned deposits are seven, three, and twice as many as RM grains. Therefore, the most noteworthy research result is the very high total share of grains with aeolian abrasion (RM + EM/RM), amounting on average to 84.1% for Odranian fluvioglacial deposits, 86.7% for Sanian glacial deposits and 92.6% for Late Glacial aeolian deposits. It means that in the study area, glacial and fluvioglacial transport included deposits with good aeolian abrasion obtained in the periglacial environment before the transgression of the ice sheets. Probably due to the longer persistence of periglacial conditions in southern Poland, compared to its central and northern parts, the degree of aeolization of fluvioglacial and glacial deposits is better. At the same time, there is a significant differentiation in the aeolization of fluvioglacial deposits within the outwash plain in the foreland of the maximum extent of the Odranian ice sheet. In its proximal part, near the front of the ice sheet, fluvioglacial deposits are characterized by much worse abrasion of quartz grains than in the distal part.

Abstract
One Health is a collaborative, multisectoral, and transdisciplinary approach with the goal of achieving optimal health outcomes recognizing the interconnection between people, animals, plants, and their shared environments. The main goal of this paper is to highlight the significance of the One Health concept in relation to the large group of diseases that transmits through arthropods and their worldwide distribution, with a closer look at the zoonoses. The importance of knowledge increases as the globalization and climate changes increases the likelihood of transmission, as both cause favourable conditions for transmission of bacteria and viruses. The increase in reservoir abundance, climate change, changing habitat structure, socio-political changes, and import of animals for welfare reasons, trade and traveling are considered to be potential factors for the pathogen and vector introductions to new areas. This article highlights the selected agents of bacterial zoonoses as sources of human and animal diseases and shows the number of cases of Lyme disease, which is the most common bacterial tick-borne disease in humans in Slovakia and Norway, and the trend in incidence over the past twelve years.
