Design and implementation of a bioclimatic housing prototype for the Bolivian highlands
Authors: Lamas Edwin 
Published: January 2024

The Mechanical - Electromechanical Engineering research institute, made up of a multidisciplinary team, designs and implements a bioclimatic housing prototype for the Bolivian highlands, located near the Andes Mountains at an altitude of 3,000 to 4,000 meters above sea level. This project was developed and implemented with financing from the Swiss Cooperation for Bolivia, within the Climate Change Adaptation projects.
The design process includes: the sociocultural study of the inhabitants of the region, where direct information is collected from the peasants on the conception of housing in their culture and ancestral construction characteristics of their houses. Subsequently, the climate of the region (temperatures, solar radiation, winds and relative humidity) is characterized with the help of a meteorological station, which provided historical records of 5 years. Those data were sufficient to be able to carry out a reliable characterization, with which the Typical Meteorological Year is determined. Likewise, local construction materials that may be useful in the design are studied, analyzing their thermal and mechanical properties in the laboratory.
Finally, with all the information described, an architectural design is carried out taking into account bioclimatic aspects, ways of harnessing solar energy, distribution of the room and a viable construction cost for the economic reality of the region. The developed architectural model is optimized in an energy simulation program (Siter Vs. 1.2), achieving energy savings of 65%. The software used is owned property of the research institute
The house has been monitored with temperature sensors for about a year and six months, to date it shows good results, where the correct functioning of the elements and constructive forms is evidenced, reflecting a temperature inside the house of around 10 °C above room temperature 24 hours a day.
Depiction of Women as Unfair Creatures in John Donne’s “Go and Catch a Falling Star”: Utilizing Norman Fairclough’s Model as a Research Tool in the Critical Discourse Analysis
Authors: Malik Umer Ajmal  , Tayyaba Zainab  
Published: January 2024

This research paper aims to study Norman Fairclough's three-dimensional model for a critical discourse analysis of John Donne's poem "Go and Catch a Falling Star." Rooted in Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and building upon Fairclough's critique of Critical Linguistics, the study explores the hidden ideologies and societal attitudes embedded in the text. The poem, published in 1633, presents a satirical examination of women's perceived infidelity, and Fairclough's model serves as a tool to unravel the complexities of its linguistic features, discursive practices, and socio-cultural implications. The analysis reveals anti-feministic undertones within the broader context, where societal norms and power dynamics played a crucial role in shaping discourse. By examining the poem through the three dimensions of Fairclough's model—text, discursive practice, and sociocultural practice—the research contributes to a deep understanding of how language choices perpetuate certain perceptions of women and contribute to broader societal narratives during this historical period.
Keywords: Critical Discourse Analysis, Norman Fairclough’s Model, Go and Catch a Falling Star
A gyermekkardiológiai ellátás és képzés - adaptálhatóak-e az angol rendszer elemei?
Authors: Ablonczy László , Cserháti Zoltán 
Published: January 2024

Bevezetés: Folyamatos az igény a gyermekkardiológusok számának emelésére a hazai egészségügyi rendszerben, miközben a hasonló képzési rendszert használó Angliában lakosságszámra vetítve kevesebb gyermekkardiológus dolgozik. Célkitűzés: Az angol típusú, többszintű konzultáns rendszer egyes elemei hazai adaptációjának vizsgálata a gyermekkardiológiai ellátásban. Adatok és módszerek: A hazai gyermekkardiológusok körében végzett felmérés, a hazai ellátórendszer, illetve a National Health Service irányelvei és az irodalomban publikált angliai adatok alapján összehasonlítottuk a két ország gyermekkardiológiai ellátását. Eredmények: Angliában teljes populációra vetítve a gyermekkardiológus konzultánsok száma szignifikánsan alacsonyabb, mint az itthon állami rendszerben (is) dolgozók száma (5.2 versus 2.0 gyermekkardiológus/1 millió fő). A gyermekkardiológiai feladatok jelentős részét (echocardiographia, szűrővizsgálatok vitium, mellkasi fájdaom, hypertonia vonatkozásában) speciális képzést kapott gyermekgyógyászok (paediatrician with expertise in cardiology – PEC), illetve neonatológusok látják el Angliában, míg itthon a területileg illetékes gyermekkardiológiai gondozók. Hazánkban centralizáltabb területi megoszlás működik. Megbeszélés: Az angliai konzultációs rendszer elemeinek esetleges bevezetése a kardiológiai képzés súlyának fokozásához vezet a gyermekgyógyászati képzésben. PEC konzultánsok megjelenése a gyermekkardiológiai ellátásban fennálló területi egyenetlenséget csökkentheti, míg az NPE (neonatologist performed echocardiography) a korai vitium diagnosztikát javíthatja.
COUNTERTERRORISM SECURITY OF THE STATE IN THE CURRENT CONTEXT
Authors: Markieieva Oksana , Rozvadovskyi Bronislav 
Published: January 2024

The article analyzes previous research and highlights the features of the counterterrorism security of the state as a component of the national security system.
The article aims at identifying problems with ensuring counterterrorism security during the Russian Federation's war against Ukraine, analyzing Ukrainian legislation in this area, and outlining the ways of forming the counterterrorism security system of the state in the current context.
The biggest terrorist threat to Ukraine is the large-scale armed aggression by the Russian Federation and the hybrid war, which aims not only to occupy certain territories of Ukraine but also to completely eliminate Ukrainian statehood. This war widely employs terrorist methods including the intimidation and killing of civilians, the use of powerful weapons against populated areas, and the destruction of critical civilian infrastructure.
The problems above call for a comprehensive reconsideration of the counterterrorism security of the state, given the need to significantly enhance the protection of possible sites of terrorist attacks and to fulfill the tasks of implementing the national security priorities under the 2020 National Security Strategy of Ukraine Human Security Equals the Country’s Security.
The perpetration of terrorist acts by the Russian Federation against the national critical infrastructure has become a striking challenge for Ukraine, the consequences of which are difficult to overestimate. During the armed aggression, the Ukrainian state has been confronted with new types of terrorist activities, in particular, psychological and nuclear terrorism. All this requires strengthening the counterterrorism capacities for protecting critical infrastructure and other targets of terrorist attacks, primarily through practical and research-based approaches to the counterterrorism security of the state.
Based on the results of the study, the authors conclude that there is a need to significantly enhance the institutional strengthening of the national counterterrorism system and to revise Ukrainian legislation in this area. The article outlines interrelations between counterterrorism security and other components within the national security system of Ukraine, including security of the state, military security and defense, public security, cybersecurity, nuclear and radiation security, etc. The authors propose to establish an effective system of counterterrorism security of the state, primarily with respect to improving its legislative basis, which calls for the development of the Counterterrorism Strategy in Ukraine that would become the foundation of state policy in countering terrorism.
Theoretical study of physisorption of tosylate on AU10, AU15 and AU18 surfaces utilizing DFT approach
Authors: Thamer Fatima , Shwya Abbas 
Published: January 2024

Charge transfer from organic nanomaterial to the coinage metal surfaces occur as a result to the physisorption physisorption phenomena. Physisorption plays a major role in many applications. A set of properties such as, molecular geometries, contour density maps, electrostatic potentials (ESPs), infrared spectra (IR), electronic states, HOMO and LUMO energies, Energy gaps (Eg), ionization potential (I.P), electron affinity (E.A),dipole moment, polarizabilities , average polarizability , symmetry and density of states by using Gaussian 09 software package algorithms were investigated at LANL2DZ, B3LYP and the ground state energy of (Au10-OTS) , (Au15) , (Au15-OTS), (Au18) and (Au18-OTS) , but the structure of (Au10) has been submitted at LANL2MB,B3LYP basis sets. The research study physisorption phenomena from the organic nanomaterial to sylate (OTS) to the coinage metal surface (gold surfaces), also the research concentrate if charge transfer procedure gets at the surface. Physisorption phenomena and charge transfer procedure that happen at the surface can be known throughout some properties such as the closed energy contour maps, electrostatic potentials, symmetry and density of states. Electronic states and energy gap property have been studied in this research to recognize importance of the geometrical structures in the electronic devices and the different electronic applications in different branch of knowledges. The research had the ionization potential and electron affinity credits to demonstrate if the geometrical structure will behave as a donor or an acceptor because the ionization energy demonstrate ability of the geometrical structure to donate the electrons in an interaction, but the electron affinity describes the capacity of the geometrical structure to accept electrons in an interaction.

Authors: Alhadad Abrar A. S. , M. Jassim Hussien 
Published: January 2024

In this paper, 2-D laminar free convection thermal transmission has been investigated numerically. Double concentric rectangular enclosures with discrete heaters were studied using COMSOL Multiphysics 6.0 software package. Heat flux was applied using specific number of heaters as well as changing the number and distances of the heaters in each case. Heaters were installed on the left vertical wall of the enclosure the opposite wall was kept at constant temperature. The horizontal walls were considered adiabatic. Air was taken as working fluid and all the features of air were considered constant except the change in density due to buoyancy forces that are driving the fluid. Finite volumes method was chosen for solving the governing equations in the dimensionless formula. The effect of Rayleigh number on Nusselt number was analyzed using the resultant isothermal contours. We attained the results for different values of Rayleigh number. A large enhancement in thermal transmission was achieved in the attained results, it was found that the amount of thermal energy transmitted will increase by increasing the value of Ra.

Amputate forearm, finger, or hand is a biggest problem for the disabled subject. Therefore, Prosthetic does a significant role for the amputees to modify the capability and mobility of their systematic activities. Using the EMG signals of hand and finger motion discrimination are continuously growth for numerous hand and finger gestures. The main problem in designing a prosthetic hand is the classification of EMG signals. Machine learning (ML) algorithms present a solution to this problem by providing a way to classify EMG signals with simply and less costly scheme. This study presents more than one experiment on two datasets in order to classify individual fingers (IF) with wrist and victory based on a normative dataset of EMG signals and Deep Learning DL. These experiments show that the overall performance (average accuracy) of the proposed method is 98.83% and the overall error classification rate (error rate) is 1.17%.
‘Pushing through the pain cave’: Lived experiences of pain tolerance in male ultra-marathon runners
Authors: Emeka Lloyd , Meijen Carla 
Published: January 2024

Extant research has typically focused on the study of pain tolerance in endurance sport from a psychophysiological perspective, with findings illustrating that ultra-runners can tolerate pain for a longer duration of time than non-running active controls. However, qualitative investigation that explores the lived experiences of pain tolerance in ultra-running has been limited thus far.This research explored the lived experiences of pain tolerance in male ultra-marathon runners and how this evolved over time. Six male ultra-marathon runners were interviewed using a semi-structured interview guide. The methodology and analysis were guided by Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Four group experiential themes (GETs) were identified, and these are: building relationships with pain, what is ‘real’ pain? gratification of pushing through pain, and the trajectory of enduring hardship.The findings highlight the challenge of distinguishing between discomfort and real pain and the influence of socio-cultural norms on pain tolerance within ultra-running. The study raises important applied implications for coaches and sport psychology practitioners with regards to developing a holistic picture of ultra-runners’ pain experiences and cultivating environments that facilitate multiple narratives and enhance individuals ultra-running experiences.

Authors: Teodoro Paulo Vitor , Da Silva Filho Edson Tereza , Santos Welson Barbosa , Nunes Simara Maria Tavares , Gonçalves Elisabete Alerico 
Published: January 2024

Este estudo objetivou identificar, analisar e caracterizar os trabalhos sobre gênero e sexualidade publicados nas atas do Encontro Nacional de Pesquisa em Educação em Ciências (Enpec), na última década (2011-2021). Para tanto, desenvolvemos uma revisão de cunho bibliográfico que compõe as seis últimas edições do Enpec, realizadas em 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 e 2021. Os resultados da pesquisa apontam que o tema gênero e sexualidade aumentou exponencialmente, de 2011 a 2019. Em 2021 houve redução no quantitativo de produções, em relação a 2017 e 2019, possivelmente pelo fato da conferência ter acontecido na modalidade virtual, devido a Pandemia da Covid-19. Mas, também nos deixa um questionamento: que interferência as políticas de debate anti-gênero tiveram sobre esse “apagão”? Ao total, foram encontrados 37 trabalhos, subdivididos em quatro categorias, sendo elas: estudos de revisão de literatura; gênero e sexualidade na escola; concepções alternativas de estudantes, professores e licenciandos; e, ainda, reflexões e trabalhos na formação inicial e continuada. Estudos futuros podem se apropriar dos dados aqui apresentados para habitar novos territórios de investigação, para o ensino de Ciências Naturais, por exemplo, na produção de materiais didáticos que corroborem numa educação mais justa, menos excludente e mais democrática e acolhedora.

Authors: Al-Homoud Faisal 
Published: January 2024

The present study investigated the nature of the vocabulary levels of male and female EFL teachers in Saudi schools and identified the receptive and productive vocabulary knowledge between male and female EFL teachers in Saudi schools. The study adopted a quantitative approach and collected the data through an online version of receptive and productive vocabulary knowledge tests. The findings revealed that male and female EFL teachers had low levels of vocabulary knowledge. Further, the findings revealed that EFL teachers at Saudi schools typically possess higher receptive vocabulary levels than productive vocabulary. The findings also indicate that gender substantially influences the vocabulary knowledge of EFL teachers. Finally, the study provides several implications and recommendations for further studies.

Authors: Martins Ernesto Candeias 
Published: January 2024

Abordamos a figura da assistente social portuguesa Mª Leonor Botelho Sampaio (1915-96), a partir do seu percurso de formação/docência, na área do serviço social (Instituto Serviço Social Lisboa), como parlamentária, ações em organismos corporativistas estatais e religiosos e outras atividades sociais. Trata-se de um estudo histórico-descritivo e hermenêutico norteado pelos seguintes objetivos: compreender a institucionalização do serviço social até 1974; analisar as intervenções parlamentárias de Mª Leonor; conhecer o seu desempenho social nas várias instituições inseridas na resposta corporativista (índole estatista, católico, conservador) do Estado com feição caritativa cristã, assistencial e de previdência social. Estruturamos em 2 pontos a nossa análise: surgimento e institucionalização do serviço social (criação de escolas e significado da profissão) no regime salazarista e marcelista; ação parlamentária de Mª Leonor relativo à política social, proteção menores, medidas de assistência social às famílias trabalhadoras e vulneráveis, papel da mulher trabalhadora, etc. Na reconstrução do percurso de vida de Mª Leonor destacaremos os seus contributos em prol da profissão serviço social, como trabalho social, embora na época dependesse do doutrinamento do regime. O serviço social realizou-se nos meandros do significado atribuído pelo salazarismo à profissão, no âmbito do catolicismo progressista, por vezes oposto, às recomendações e ações.

Descifrando el álbum ilustrado. Estrategias de emisión, recepción y análisis
Authors: Paulinio Gonzalo Pumarejo Gomez 
Published: January 2024

A primera vista, los álbumes ilustrados presentan una serie de características que hace que no pasen inadvertidos en los expositores de una biblioteca o de una librería y que los diferencian de otras obras literarias que también contienen imágenes. Nos referimos fundamentalmente a su diseño, a su formato, a la calidad de sus ilustraciones o al espacio que ocupan estas en el soporte. Esto es lo que, en principio, nos invita a detenernos y hojear el libro. Pero, lo que les hace realmente diferentes es que en ellos se funden dos lenguajes, el del texto (signos convencionales) y el de la imagen (signos icónicos). El resultado obliga al lector a convertirse también en espectador para poder leer el código textual y el código visual al mismo tiempo o decidiendo cuál lee primero y cuál lee después. En el proceso de lectura, el lector/espectador tendrá una participación activa en la construcción del signifi cado y, por esa razón, será habitual que tenga que rellenar espacios vacíos de información entre páginas, o verá cómo la imagen puede llegar a desplazar al texto o incluso se sorprenderá porque el texto desaparezca y vuelva a aparecer varias páginas después.
