Process Control for Total Quality in Circular Knitting
Authors: Araújo Mário de , Catarino André , Hong Hu 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This paper deals with a problem of major concern to the knitting industry, which is fabric defects. When a defect occurs, the knitting machine has to be stopped and the fault corrected, thus resulting in time loss which is uneconomic. Eventually, the knitted fabric may be rejected if quality requirements are not met. An effective monitoring of the knitting process is required in order to avoid or detect and locate a defect and its cause as soon as possible, avoiding productivity and quality losses. In circular knitting machines the yarn input tension (Ti) can be used as a means of process control, so that defects may be prevented or quickly detected. This was found to be a valuable approach to accomplish this task, since it reflects the general behaviour of the knitting machine. A measuring system is presented, along with the results obtained. Considerations are made around the problem of automatic detection and some approaches are suggested. Finally, some conclusions are drawn from the work developed.
MORPHOLOGICAL STRUCTURE OF POLYETHERKETONE MEMBRANES FOR GAS SEPARATION PREPARED BY PHASE INVERSION
Authors: Brown P. J. , Ying S. , Yang J. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
There has been increasing worldwide interest in the field of technical textile materials. Within this context the use of membranes for industrial separation processes has developed, and they can now compete effectively with conventional processes in terms of energy and capital costs. Membranes for gas separation have developed significantly in the last twenty years; however, there is still a need for high-temperature and chemically resistant membranes that exhibit good selectivity and gas permeability. In spite of the developments in gas separation membranes, only a few types of hollowfibre membranes are still commercially available. Our study examines the fundamental properties of polyetherketone (PEK, a thermally stable and chemically resistant polymer) membranes prepared using concentrated sulphuric acid (98% H2SO4) as a solvent and dilute sulphuric acid (30%-60% H2SO4) as a non-solvent. Other non-solvents included acetic acid, ethanol, methanol, glycerol, and water. The concentration of the polymer-casting solutions was between 15% and 20%. The membrane structure was examined using SEM, and the gas separation properties were measured using a labscale test rig. The results show that formation and control of membrane structure are complicated, and that many preparation parameters affect membrane morphology and performance. Polymer concentration is a particularly important parameter. At each individual polymer concentration, the precipitant plays a crucial role, and has a determining influence on membrane structure. Membranes cast using 30-40% glycerol and 50-60% H2SO4 or 70-90% acetic acid as precipitants possessed sponge-type structures, and as such have an acceptable permeation rate. However, membranes cast into water display finger-like structures even at a low coagulation temperature of 3°C, and also exhibit lower permeation rates. It has also been shown that precipitated structures of PEK membranes are highly dependent upon the heat of mixing of the solvent with non-solvent, and that a reduction in this heat of mixing leads to sponge-like structures that are preferential for gas separation membranes.
Property Rights in Money (and Cryptocurrencies)
Authors: Hoffmann Jan Felix 
Published: December 2023

133Abstract
There is a common core of principles that governs all property rights, whether they relate to tangible or intangible goods. The classical principles of property law are applicable to the property law of intangibles. However, classical property law is also specifically designed to deal with physical objects, which raises the question of the extent to which the regulatory complexes of property law can or must be adapted when dealing with incorporeal goods. This is a challenge that can be observed in the discussion on property rights in data. This modern problem has received much attention, while a very similar and classical problem of property law has not been taken into much consideration in this context. The legal tension between a physical storage medium and the incorporeal good contained in it has dominated the property law discussion on money for decades. In fact, the question of whether classical property law is capable of dealing with the assignment of an incorporeal good is an old one, and much experience has been gained in the national property law systems with regard to money. The examination of this classical problem of property law also seems to be an appropriate starting point for the evaluation of newer legislation on property rights in cryptocurrencies. The new discussion on property rights in data and the old discussion on property rights in money have a strong point of contact when it comes to assigning absolute rights to cryptocurrencies.
The Role of Good Will in Redefining Ownership Rights: The Bona Fides Purchaser
Authors: Faisal Muhammad 
Published: December 2023

15Abstract
This article explores the role of bona fides as the foundation of a purchaser’s ownership. A bona fide purchaser owns his rights against nemo dat quod non habet (no one gives what they do not have) maxim that protect the original owner’s rights. This article illustrates that the concept of good will in property rights as a means of resolving ownership disputes. Bona fides bear inner-directed values described as ‘good will’ in ethics and its practice in court’s verdict bear resemblance with outer-directed moral imperatives in property rights. The main issue of ownership then relies on the value that lives in social society, and whether it conforms with nemo dat principles or honest purchaser protection. While both maxims are needed for security of acquisition, its universality is still debatable. The concept of good will and property theory will show a different paradigm useful for court to justify honest purchaser rights acquired from an unauthorised seller. Courts will then construct and apply a standard of conduct based on the existing value to determine an honest purchaser. Hence, an honest purchaser will have an equal stage in the contest for ownership rights against a true owner, and courts will have to measure and determine whose ownership should be prioritize.

Geolinguistic structures of dialect phonology in the German-speaking Alpine region: A dialectometric approach using crowdsourcing data
Authors: Vergeiner Philip C. , Bülow Lars 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The Alpine region stands out in the German-speaking world for its well-preserved traditional dialects, which continue to play a significant role in daily life. However, the vast geographical range of the Alpine region and the limitations imposed by national and regional borders have hindered comprehensive investigations of the entire Alpine area. To overcome these obstacles, this study utilizes crowdsourcing data from the VerbaAlpina project to investigate phonological and morpho-phonological variation in the German-speaking Alpine region. Although the data were collected in a written form and with a focus on lexical variation, it is shown that the data contain detailed phonological information. By using multivariate dialectometric measurements (i.e. factor analysis [FA]) based on 19 (morpho-)phonological variables (comprising 8,582 tokens), the study explores the geolinguistic structures of the German dialects in the Alpine region. The results confirm, on a general level, the validity of the traditionally established dialect classification. However, the findings also reveal previously underrated border effects, in particular for Bavarian dialects along the German-Austrian border, which are argued to be the outcome of divergence processes. Hence, the study highlights the importance of cross-dialectal and cross-national perspectives in understanding dialect variation and emphasizes the value of crowdsourcing data for dialectological research.
Off-record indirectness in Jordanian Arabic
Authors: Al-Adaileh Bilal A. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This paper is an attempt to explore the realisation and motives of off-record indirectness as a common mode of conversation in naturally occurring social interactions in Jordanian Arabic. It is found that off-record indirectness mirrors speaker’s considerateness of the face wants of the speech act recipient, communicating face-threatening acts indirectly. The need to be polite justifies conversation partners’ deliberate flouting of Grice’s maxims and using conversational implicatures. Indirect means of communication and the employment of abbreviated conversations are also used for humour and as a preferred style and solidarity marker among family members, intimates and closely related people. It is also found that there are instances of off-record indirectness that might be perceived as impolite. In support of other scholars’ arguments, the study stresses that instances of off-record indirectness which might be perceived as impolite in terms of first-order politeness are doing interactional facework in terms of second-order politeness. Indirectness, then, may always be face work but is not always politeness.

Success factors of real estate crowdfunding projects: Evidence from Spain
Authors: Badrova Aliaksandra , Ņečiporuka Marija , Lublóy Ágnes 
Published: December 2023

AbstractReal estate crowdfunding is a relatively new alternative financing and investing method. This research aims to identify factors which might increase investors' willingness to participate in real estate crowdfunding campaigns. We analyse 195 lending-based real estate crowdfunding campaigns from four Spanish platforms. Project success is measured by duration, i.e. the time required to reach the funding target. We assess the impact of the funding target, the annual return, the loan duration, several risk-related metrics and the minimum investment amount. We find that the higher the funding target and the minimum investment amount, the longer it takes to reach the target. We document that investors prefer projects where the maturity of the loan is shorter. We also find that construction-type projects reach the funding target faster than other type of fundraising goals. At the same time, we do not find any association between the annual return or risk-related metrics and project success. To assure successful fundraising, real estate crowdfunding platforms should prioritize those real estate projects which are highly popular among investors (i.e. construction-type projects with short maturity). Real estate developers, in turn, should crowdfund projects which are demanded by the crowdinvestors and use their traditional financing methods for the remaining projects.
RELIGIOSIDADE TRANSFORMADORA DE PADRE CÍCERO ROMÃO BATISTA
Authors: Ronsi Francilaide 
Published: December 2023

As notícias sobre as calúnias e as perseguições que marcaram a vida de padre Cícero Romão Batista nos permitem uma aproximação do quanto ele sofreu. Entretanto, essa realidade também ressalta a resiliência, a determinação e a coragem, ou seja, a parresia com que ele enfrentou tantos desafios. Nesse sentido, identificamos que a sua experiência de fé o sustentou na fidelidade evangélica, traduzindo-se em uma religiosidade que suscitou esperança, consolação, confiança e a transformação social para aquela região. E, em meio a tantas dificuldades impostas pela seca, fome, desemprego e pela falta de escolas para as crianças e os jovens, a criatividade e a ousada coragem não lhe faltaram. Assim, foi se constituindo o padre de todos e de todas e, ao mesmo tempo, de cada um e de cada uma. Por fim, a religiosidade de padre Cícero tem a marca de uma experiência de fé cristocêntrica, encarnada na realidade do povo e, por isso, transformadora. A razão evangélica de sua missão o levou a colocar a pessoa no centro de sua escuta e de sua ação que era, sobretudo, ensinar as pessoas a se libertarem da servidão, da dependência dos patrões injustos, da fome e da falta de sentido para a Vida.
A IMPORTÂNCIA DE LÉVINAS PARA O DEBATE EDUCACIONAL: É POSSÍVEL A CONSTRUÇÃO DE UMA OUTRA MODALIDADE PEDAGÓGICA QUE PARTA PARA O ACOLHIMENTO DO OUTRO?
Authors: Ludwig Rafael , Dickmann Ivo 
Published: December 2023

A ideia central desta pesquisa é buscar uma nova aproximação entre a ética e a educação através do pensamento levinasiano. Este pensamento nos consegue mostrar novas contribuições e reflexões para contemporaneidade que é marcada por uma profunda crise da unidade da razão e por uma constituição da subjetividade soberana. Evidenciando a época que estamos vivendo, onde se propaga uma grande ideia de indiferença para com o outro, emerge uma problemática de ressignificação e de defesa de uma outra modalidade pedagógica, “outro modo de ensino”, que seja baseado numa educação para o acolhimento e para a abertura de um ensinamento fundado na educação para a alteridade. Portanto, a proposta é investigar uma possível contribuição da ética da alteridade para as reflexões e práticas educativas.

ANÁLISE COM MODELAGEM MULTINÍVEL: CONTRIBUIÇÃO PARA ESTUDO SOBRE AS VARIÁVEIS SIGNIFICANTES PARA AS NOTAS NO ENEM
Authors: Máximo Bárbara Castilho , Ribeiro Luiz Fernando Caldeira 
Published: December 2023

O Enem é uma das avaliações mais importantes para a educação básica do Brasil, reunindo estudantes de todos os tipos de escola, renda familiar e cor, à fim de estabelecer o ingresso ao ensino superior, seja ele em universidades públicas ou em particulares contando com bolsa ou financiamento estudantil. Contando com uma extensa base de dados sobre os inscritos do ano de 2019 e dados sobre as escolas que os mesmos estudaram em seu último ano escolar o presente trabalho teve o objetivo de testar e demonstrar quais variáveis ligadas ao aluno e à escola podem ser consideradas explicativas para a média das cinco notas que compõe a avaliação. Para esta demonstração foi desenvolvido um algoritmo supervisionado de “machine learning” conhecido como modelagem linear generalizado multinível, onde os dados referentes aos inscritos são aninhados aos dados referentes as escolas, podendo assim demonstrar que este tipo de técnica proporciona melhores resultados quando comparada a um modelo de regressão linear simples para este tipo de caso. O modelo foi construído com 36variáveis, chegando a um valor de máxima verossimilhança restrita de 65.144,52. Além da utilidade preditiva do modelo, também permitiu uma análise socioeconômica do ingresso para o ensino superior, pois os resultados têm forte relação com dados como a raça/cor, renda, sexo e escolaridade dos pais dos alunos, também a dispositivos de acesso à informação nas escolas, como bibliotecas e computadores, permitindo assim o apontamento para fatores que podem ser aprimorados tanto no meio da educação básica quanto no social.

AS PESSOAS JURÍDICAS À LUZ DO PRINCÍPIO ESTRUTURANTE DA ETICIDADE
Authors: Faria João Gabriel Fraga de Oliveira 
Published: December 2023

O Código Civil, norma fundamental do sistema jurídico-privado, foi construído com base em três princípios estruturantes, sendo um deles a eticidade, que se erradia sobre todos os seus institutos e instituições. Não obstante, o conteúdo do princípio referido seencontra presente, de modo especial, nas pessoas jurídicas, em suas disposições normativas; em sua tutela jurídico-constitucional, com fundamento na preservação da dignidade da pessoa humana; no pressuposto para a consideração de sua existência, quese condiciona à observância da ética no uso da pessoa jurídica por seus titulares, o que fica evidente na aplicação da teoria maior da desconsideração da personalidade jurídica, bem como à valoração ético-normativa do seu uso, evidente nas hipóteses de incidência da teoria menor da desconsideração da personalidade jurídica.

Effectiveness of F3 feline facial pheromone analogue for acute stress reduction within clinical veterinary practice
Authors: Crump Ebony 
Published: December 2023

PICO Question
In cats within a clinical veterinary context, does the application of the F3 feline facial pheromone (Feliway™), when compared to placebo, reduce signs of acute stress?

Clinical bottom line
Category of research
Treatment.
Number and type of study designs reviewed
Five papers were critically reviewed. There were three prospective, double-blinded, randomised controlled trials, one prospective, single-blinded, randomised controlled trial and one prospective, single-blinded, non-randomised controlled trial.
Strength of evidence
Moderate.
Outcomes reported
Four studies found improvement in select indicators of acute stress following F3 feline facial pheromone analogue (FFPA) exposure. One study showed FFPA reduced patient stress during routine physical examination, and improved caregiver impression of patient relaxation and ease of handling. One study revealed FFPA decreased vocalisations but had no effect upon systolic blood pressure during physical examination. One study determined that FFPA calmed but did not reduce struggling during venous catheterisation. One study demonstrated reduced time to sedation and propofol induction dose for routine surgical procedures when a transport protocol incorporating FFPA was applied. Finally, one study found no significant effect of FFPA upon behavioural and physiologic measures of acute stress during physical examination. No studies reported outward negative effects associated with FFPA exposure.
Conclusion
It can be concluded that FFPA may reduce signs of acute stress within a clinical veterinary context. Additionally, exposure to FFPA is unlikely to cause patient harm. To optimise patient welfare, FFPA is not recommended as a sole agent for stress mitigation and should instead be incorporated holistically with patient friendly handling, clinic design, and pharmacotherapy where indicated.

How to apply this evidence in practice
The application of evidence into practice should take into account multiple factors, not limited to: individual clinical expertise, patient’s circumstances and owners’ values, country, location or clinic where you work, the individual case in front of you, the availability of therapies and resources.

Ketidakpatuhan Tiongkok terhadap Sino-British Joint Declaration dalam Implementasi Kebijakan “One Country, Two Systems” Hong Kong
Authors: Putri Cindy Claudia 
Published: December 2023

AbstrakIn general, this research discusses China's non-compliance with the Sino-British Joint Declaration agreement in implementing policies on the principle of "One Country, Two Systems" in Hong Kong. The interesting thing in this research is that the “One Country, Two Systems” system is a unique system of government because it has never been implemented in any country other than China. The Gap Research in this research is that China in the last ten years has shown an increasingly disobedient attitude towards the Sino-British Joint Declaration even though the agreement is a solution so that "One Country, Two Systems" can be carried out as it should. This non-compliance made China criticized by many countries but there was no intention of China to return to complying with the agreement. This research uses state security theory, state sovereignty theory, and compliance-based theory. With this theory, it can be seen what factors made China disobedient to the Sino-British Joint Declaration.Keywords: International Agreement, Democratization, One Country Two Systems, China, Hong Kong.
