Diaspora Digitalized in Michelle De Kretser’s 'Questions of Travel' and Kiran Desai’s 'The Inheritance of Loss'
Authors: Khadka Uwaraj 
Published: January 2023

The research work explores the diasporic aspect of immigrants’ lives while living on the digital platform. Then, it attempts to investigate how digital technologies have assisted diasporic individuals to consider their new acquired time and space as comfort zone. All Diasporas in today’s world live in the transnational location which makes them get connected digitally with their roots at the same time. So, diasporic individuals are supported and assisted by the digital technologies. The more the immigrants make use of these technologies while living in the transnational location the more they go global and at the same time get connected with the local.
To demonstrate this argument, the research examines and analyzes Kiran Desai’s novel “The Inheritance of Loss” and Michelle de Kretser’s novel “Questions of Travel” in order to show how immigrants being assisted by the digital technologies, despite the cultural wilderness and oddities encountered in the alien lands, celebrate their comfort zone, and live on the transnational location. The analysis part is reached through by referring to the works on identity; digital technologies, nationalism and trans-nationalism that help assess validity of the argument proposed herein.

Published: January 2023

Native fishes have great value as an ornamental fish in Nepal as well as in the global fair. Most of the ornamental fish species of Nepal are imported from India and Thailand. The main goal of this experiment is to identify and domesticate indigenous ornamental fishes for commercial production. Begnas area, Pokhara was selected as the study site as it has different small indigenous fish species which might have great potential as ornamental fish. The study was carried out for eight months period from February to September. Native fishes were collected from outlets and irrigation canal of Begnas Lake by using a cast net. Five fish species Puntius conchonius, Puntius sophore, Barilius barna, Danio devario and Danio rerio were identified and found suitable for ornamental purpose. These fish species were domesticated with different feed with maintaining the water quality parameters in an aquarium during the experiment period. Survivability of these fish species was low during the winter season; and at the same time, they could adapt to any kind of food. Danio devario was selected for the breeding purpose; and among all, 33 individuals were selected and placed in different conditions (-in the aquarium with heater and aerator, in the outer tank exposed to direct sunlight, the tank having continuous water flow without sunlight and in the open artificial pool) with 40% CP and bloodworms and maintaining the proper water quality. Out of all the different conditions, the environment that was artificially made pool with enough sunlight was found to be suitable for breeding. Their breeding was also influenced by the environmental condition since they bred one month later than their regular breeding periods in captive conditions.

This study was conducted to assess the ichthyofaunal diversity of Bhagairia Lake located in Bardiya district, Nepal from August 2019 to February 2020. For this research monthly sampling was done to assess ichthyofaunal diversity and water quality parameters i.e. water temperature, water transparency, total dissolved solids, dissolved oxygen, pH, alkalinity, total hardness, ammonia, phosphate and nitrate from six sites around the lake. A total number of 30 species of fish belonging to 8 orders, 13 families and 23 genera were recorded. Among these, Cypriniformes and Cyprinidae were the dominant order and family covering 50% and 44 % of fish species, respectively. Puntius sophore was found to be the dominant fish species with a catch composition of 12%. Maximum fish catch (214 individuals) was recorded in February whereas, minimum fish catch (140 individuals) was recorded in August. The fish catch was found to be positively correlated with dissolved oxygen (r= 0.912), pH (r= 0.876), alkalinity (r= 0.840) and total hardness (r= 0.876). Shannon diversity index was the highest in August (3.14) and lowest in November (2.87). Margalef's richness index was highest in the month of August (5.276) and lowest in February (3.727) whereas, Sheldon evenness index was highest in February (0.925) and lowest in September (0.823). This study revealed that Bhagairia Lake is rich in fish faunal diversity and consists of native, cultivable, ornamental and rare species of fish.

Aporie dyskursu żałobnego. O założeniach polityki i etyki żałoby w pismach Jacques’a Derridy
Niniejszy artykuł, bazujący na tekstach Jacques’a Derridy, poświęconych w głównej mierze jego zmarłym przyjaciołom, jest próbą nakreślenia założeń polityki i etyki żałoby. Podążając za zawartym w tekstach Derridy opisem aporii oraz paradoksów, w które dyskurs żałobny jest nieuchronnie uwikłany, autor skupia się na etyczno-politycznym otwarciu, związanym z niedrukowalnym napięciem pomiędzy uniwersalnością prawa a jednostkową odpowiedzialnością wobec innego. Żałoba zostaje ukazana nie jako jeden z wielu fenomenów, lecz jako kondycja źródłowa, czyli taka, w ramach której etyka, polityka czy odpowiedzialność mogą zyskać swe radykalne znaczenie.
The Role of Feelings in the Cognition of Values in the Perspective of Hermeneutic Philosophy (Gianni Vattimo and Charles Taylor)

The Role of Feelings in the Cognition of Values in the Perspective of Hermeneutic Philosophy(Gianni Vattimo and Charles Taylor)
The article discusses the role of feelings in the process of the cognition of values in the perspective of hermeneutic philosophy, and – more specifically – in the light of the works by two major representatives of this current: Gianni Vattimo and Charles Taylor. Despite many differences, both philosophers share the interest in the role of feelings in the process of self-interpretation and in the importance of individual moral choices. In hermeneutic philosophy, more significance is usually attributed to reason than to feelings, which makes the investigation of the role that feelings play in the process of the cognition of values and their importance in the space of interpersonal relations particularly interesting. The context of the present considerations is that of the crisis of institutional forms of social trust and therewith associated ethical principles. The author of the article analyzes the possibility of creating an ethics based on values, yet an ethics critical of institutional forms of behavior and the formalized rules of conduct developed for the purposes of the organizations.
Siła kontra dominacja. W stronę hermeneutyki przemocy

Siła kontra dominacja. W stronę hermeneutyki przemocy
Artykuł jest poświęcony rekonstrukcji dwóch odmiennych sposobów rozumienia przemocy: jako siły i jako dominacji, która została przeprowadzona na podstawie analizy współczesnych interpretacji Iliady (Simone Weil) i Odysei (Theodor Adorno i Max Horkheimer). Interpretacje te posłużyły dalej jako paradygmaty służące do opisu współczesnych filozoficznych dyskursów przemocy. Esej jest osadzony metodologicznie w Ricoeurowskim rozumieniu filozofii refleksji jako myślenia zapośredniczonego przez interpretację symboli i mitów. Pojęcie symbolu jako struktury podwójnego sensu, która domaga się interpretacji, pozwala na potraktowanie dawnych mitów jako aktualnych punktów wyjścia dla rozumienia współczesnej kondycji ludzkiej.

Afektywno-emocjonalne pojmowanie dziecięcego ciała w literackich narracjach o II wojnie światowej (na przykładzie Dzieci, których nie ma Renaty Piątkowskiej)
W artykule zaprezentowano propozycję afektywno-emocjonalnego modelu lektury utworu Renaty Piątkowskiej pt. Dzieci, których nie ma, z uwzględnieniem stylistyczno-narracyjnych mechanizmów wpływających na odbiorcze reakcje. Tekt koncentruje się szczególnie na sposobach literackiego obrazowania dziecka-więźnia, fizyczno-psychicznej przemocy wobec dzieci oraz dziecięcego ciała. Wzięto przy tym pod uwagę mechanizmy deskrypcji dzieci głodnych, chorych, kalekich, straumatyzowanych i martwych. Uwagę zwrócono także na problem odbiorczej ambiwalencji budowanej pomiędzy “protetycznym współodczuwaniem” a poczuciem wstrętu oraz między afektem a abiektem.
EVALUATION OF THE PROCUREMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR RESIDENTIAL COMPLEX PROJECTS IN ERBIL GOVERNORATE
Authors: Mohammed Aksana 
Published: January 2023

This study aims to evaluate the procurement management system of residential complex projects in Erbil Governorate by adopting a case study for (20) constructed projects during 2007-2019, to calculate the percentage of procurement management practice and the risks that have a significant impact on cost, time, and quality. Based on a literature review and discussion with experienced construction managers and procurement officers, a questionnaire has been designed which represents a successful plan for a procurement management system that consists of ten phases, each of five items, and the risk results associated with the improper practice. The questionnaire was delivered to stakeholders working on residential complex projects to calculate the average practice of procurement management. It is revealed that 70% of residential complex projects practiced procurement management process with a percentage below 50%. Which is considered below the acceptable rate. The average practice of procurement management phases ranges between 33% for procurement risk management and 58.5% for forecasting. The study reviled that the practice of procurement management affects the cost and time mostly. There are 26 risks that range between high and significant categories for cost and 22 risks range between high and significant categories for time. The most significant factors for procurement management are creating an appropriate risk response plan, integrating the procurement plan with the budgeting, scheduling procurement due to dates and quantities, using the tendering procedure, and procurement quality assurance. This study may contribute to solving problems for future projects by improving the current system.

Authors: Lanz Oliver , Gries Benno 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
This paper discusses the differences between high-velocity air fuel (HVAF) and classical kerosene-fired high-velocity oxygen fuel (KF-HVOF) spray processes and explains how they impact coating metallurgy and properties such as hardness, Young’s modulus, and wear resistance. The biggest differences are observed in cavitation erosion tests where HVAF coatings have a 50% greater impact on wear reduction. Potential advantages in the use of HVAF spraying for depositing thin, corrosion resistant WC-CoCr layers are also discussed.
Influence of Spray Process Parameters in Cascaded Plasma Spray Gun on YSZ Coating Morphology and Properties
Authors: Takagi Kaito , Shindo Ryota 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
In this study, a cascaded plasma gun is used to make YSZ coated coupons while measuring particle temperatures and velocities. Deposition efficiency and abrasion resistance are compared for coatings produced under low-temperature, high-velocity and high-temperature, low-velocity spraying conditions. Formations of shell-shaped splats were found on coating surfaces sprayed at high temperature and low velocity. The shell-shaped splats and resulting coating morphology likely contributed to the lower abrasion resistance of the coating. Other correlations between coating morphology, properties, and spraying parameters are also reported.

Authors: Cottin A. , Guipont V. , Cauwe B. , Demangel C. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Metallic implants for orthopedic or dental use are often coated with a plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite (HA) layer. In this study, HA coatings are applied to titanium substrates of varying thickness and laser shock adhesion tests are performed using different laser spot diameters. The objective is to investigate the effect of different shockwave regimes on interfacial debonding and the potential consequences of laser shock adhesion testing. HA coatings exhibiting different levels of adhesion were subjected to laser shock experiments and subsequently examined using nondestructive inspection techniques. The results are presented along with suggestions for developing a robust laser shock adhesion test.
Evaluation of Advanced Weld Overlay, Thermal Spray, and Laser Clad Coatings in an Operating Waste-Wood Fired Biomass Boiler
Authors: Davis Colin , Hall Iain 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Different surface protection technologies were investigated in a waste-wood fired fluidized bed boiler. This biomass fuel environment is more aggressive than those firing virgin wood due to the elevated presence of sodium, potassium, lead, and zinc, leading to the deposit of alkali metal chlorides in conjunction with ash on boiler tube surfaces. As laboratory tests are seldom representative of the complex firing, chemistry, temperature, and local heat flux encountered in actual operating conditions, five different commercial, near commercial, and development coatings were applied to a 1 m length of plain carbon steel tubing used in the furnace walls. The coatings were fully characterized and measured prior to installation and after exposure. Iron and nickel-based weld overlays, two high velocity thermal spray coatings, and a laser-clad nanosteel coating were tested. After exposure, the tube was extracted from the boiler and corrosion scales and material losses were evaluated in comparison to unprotected tube material.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
In this work, an artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed to investigate the application of Cr3C2-25NiCr coatings by HVOF spraying and predict the resulting properties based on flow rates, stand-off distance, and other parameters. HVOF coatings were sprayed and tests were conducted to generate data for training, validating, and testing the model. The model was trained with an R-value of 0.99965 to predict the relationship between spray parameters and coating properties including hardness, porosity, and wear rate. The reliability and accuracy of the model was subsequently verified using independent test sets.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
This paper discusses the challenges of constructing mathematical models of physicochemical and heat-mass transfer processes associated with reactive heterogeneous materials used in laser additive manufacturing. The results of calculations of thermocapillary convection induced by laser heating in an aluminum melt with an admixture of nickel particles are presented. Models of interphase and chemical interactions with the formation of intermediate phases and intermetallic compounds on nickel particles added to the melt during laser alloying or cladding are proposed, which make it possible to calculate the composition of intermetallic phases in the trace of the beam after crystallization and cooling.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Thermal spray coatings are an effective means for improving the cavitation resistance of hydroturbine components, especially in on-site repair situations. In this study, WC-CoCr cermet coatings are deposited by HVOF spraying and their microstructure, hardness, and cavitation behavior are assessed. The coatings exhibit better cavitation resistance than stainless steel with an erosion mechanism that leaves wrinkles and craters that correspond to specific erosion stages.
Effect of Heat Treatment and Spray Parameters on the Properties of Ti-6Al-4V Coatings by Low Pressure Plasma Spraying
Authors: Shen KaiYue , Gao Yang , Yang DeMing 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
In this study, Ti-6Al-4V coatings were deposited by low-pressure plasma spraying (LPPS) using different powder sizes and spray currents. The coatings were also heat treated at different temperatures, after which their microstructure and properties were assessed. The results show that finer powders are more conducive to the preparation of dense coatings and that porosity is reduced by increasing plasma current. As for the effects of heat treating temperature, at 870 °C, the lamellar structure of the coating disappeared and was found to be fully equiaxed with a grain size of 5-10 µm at 1100 °C. Hardness also increased, becoming significantly higher than that of forged TC4 alloy following treatment at 1100 °C.

Authors: Yoshida Mitsuru , Tateishi Yutaka , Osako Tadashi , Kondo Motoyuki , Nomura Yasushi 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
This study compares the performance of an ordinary plasma spray gun with that of recently developed gun designed for spraying feedstock suspensions on inner diameter surfaces. To evaluate the guns, yttrium oxide was deposited on 304 stainless steel while varying supply pressure, spraying distance, and gun traverse speed. Different methods of delivering suspension spray material to the gun were also investigated. Although Y2O3 inner-diameter coatings were successfully formed, hardness and cross-sectional porosity need improvement. Based on the findings, it may be necessary to increase substrate temperature, readjust spraying parameters, and optimize feedstock materials.

Authors: Swain Biswajit , Patel Swadhin , Mallick Priyabrata , Mohapatra Soumya Sanjeeb , Behera Ajit 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
In this investigation, NiTi coatings are applied by atmospheric plasma spraying. Surface and interface morphology of the as-deposited material is studied using scanning electron microscopy, the presence of the different phases are revealed by X-ray diffractometry, and microhardness is determined by Vickers hardness testing. The as-deposited coatings are exposed to air-borne particle erosion to investigate their wear properties while varying erodent impact pressure and angle. It was found that the plasma sprayed NiTi splats are well formed with significant amounts of intermetallic and oxide phases at the surface and interface, contributing to dense splat formation and higher hardness.

Authors: Pukasiewicz Anderson G.M. , Mayer André R. , Bertuol Kaue , Siqueira Irene B.A.F. , Vaz Rodolpho F. , Capra Andre R. , de Souza M.J. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
This study investigates the synergistic effects of cavitation and corrosion on Cr3C2-25NiCr coatings with different levels of porosity. The coatings are deposited by HVOF spraying and evaluated based on SEM analysis, Vickers microhardness, potentiodynamic polarization measurements, and cavitation erosion tests in various environments under ultrasonic vibration. The results show that higher porosity reduces both cavitation and corrosion resistance, as expected. However, the samples did not show significant alteration of their cavitation properties in NaCl, probably because of the high corrosion resistance of the different phases in the coating. The influence of HVOF fuel-oxygen ratio and total gas flow on coating porosity, as well as phase morphology, is also discussed.
Development of ScSZ Electrolyte Fabricated by Very Low Pressure Plasma Spraying for Metal Supported SOFCs Applications
Authors: Wang Yue-Peng , Gao Jiu-Tao , Chen Wei , Li Cheng-Xin , Zhang Shan-lin , Yang Guan-Jun , Li Cheng-Xin 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
This study assesses the potential of scandia-stabilized zirconia (ScSZ) produced by very low-pressure plasma spraying (VLPPS) for metal-supported solid oxide fuel cell (MS-SOFC) applications. To investigate the microstructure of ScSZ, coating samples were deposited at spraying distances of 150, 250, 350 mm. The fragile nature of coating cross-sections suggests that the typical lamellar structure of zirconia is replaced by a transgranular structure. Nonetheless, apparent porosity, ionic conductivity, open circuit voltage, and ohmic resistance measurements indicate that VLPPS is a viable method for producing MS-SOFCs.
Cold Spray Coatings for Automotive Cylinder Block Application
Authors: Aubanel Laurent , Lefeivre Loic , Delloro Francesco , Jeandin Michel , Sura Edoardo 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Cold spraying of automotive engine blocks requires a gun adaptation for inner diameter spraying with a very short nozzle. In this work, 316L coatings are sprayed with such a gun and the behavior of particles impacting aluminum and stainless steel surfaces is studied in order to understand the factors that affect coating adhesion and cohesion. Correlations between spraying parameters and coating properties were investigated via design of experiments and the effect of process parameters on deposition efficiency and coating thickness was optimized for mass production. Post-process honing was also employed as part of the study and smooth coatings with small pores were obtained.
Capability of Cold Spraying to Obtain High Deposition Efficiency for the Metallization of PEEK
Authors: Raoelison Rija Nirina , Koithara Libin Lalu , Costil Sophie , Xie Xinliang 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
This work addresses some of the challenges associated with depositing copper on PEEK by cold spraying. Getting copper powder to adhere to the PEEK substrate is not difficult at first, but deposition efficiency falls rapidly during coating build-up. Without heating the propellant gas, a copper coating will not form, even at the highest gas pressures. Increasing prechamber pressure is necessary, but requires an increase in gas temperature to 400°C to reach a deposition efficiency of 70%. Subjecting PEEK to such heat causes delamination issues that offset the deposition efficiency gained.
