Cultural unit blue in the Old Testament
Authors: Almalech Mony 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
The paper describes and analyzes the full presence of blue in the Old Testament – in Hebrew and translations. The interdisciplinary approach includes the treatment of color as a cultural unit according to of Eco’s idea, lexical and contextual semantics, distinguishing visual and verbal color languages. The interface between verbal and visual color language is the prototype. Prototypes are universal natural visual objects – sky, sea, fire, blood, the sun at noon, all plants, light, milk, snow, darkness, and coal and have evolved into cultural units (Eco 1996 [1985]) in all cultures and languages. Basic Color Terms (BCT – blue), Prototype Terms (PT – sky and sea), Rivals Terms of prototypes (RT – sapphire, blue skins), Terms for Basic Features of the Prototypes (TBFP – breadth, infinite, boundless) are examined. Translation is a criterion for semiotic value, cultural and linguistic context. Norm of Test of Free Word-Associations is a source of non-color (secondary) meanings of verbal colors. Test results allow us to flesh out the hidden links ‘prototype color─most typical feature of the prototype─secondary meanings of color’ in text and visual culture. The secondary cultural meanings of BCTs and RTs are specified in color compounds. The color blue tehèlet is used in most cases in synergy (not in opposition) with the other three colors in a tetrad: purple argamàn─scarlet tolàat shanì─linen shesh. Analysis on the synergic relations is performed. The same applies to duads blue-linen, blue-purple, blue skins-scarlet, blue skins-red skins. Color compounds are elements of the Priestly Code, therefore a hypothesis on compounds at semiotic axes is developed. The PT sky is involved in religious heritage. Themes as Hebrew substitute shamàim for the Tetragrammaton, the Hierarchy of heavens complete the areas of cultural unit blue in the Old Testament.

Published: May 2023

Abstract
It is quite necessary to develop a safe and efficient technique for disinfection of drinking water to avoid waterborne pathogens of infectious diseases. Herein, ZnO nanoarray electrodes with different sizes were investigated for low-voltage and high-efficiency electroporation disinfection. The results indicated that the ZnO nano-pyramid with small tip width and proper length exhibited over 99.9% disinfection efficiency against Escherichia coli under 1 V and a flow rate of 10 mL/min (contact time of 1.2 s). The suitable size of the nanoarray for electroporation disinfection was optimized by establishing the correlation between four kinds of ZnO nanoarrays and their efficiency of electroporation disinfection, which can guide the preparation of next-generation electroporation-disinfecting electrodes.
Grade-C kenaf fiber (poor quality) as an alternative material for textile crafts
Authors: Ciptandi Fajar , Puspitasari Citra 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This research focuses on the development of utilizing Grade-C kenaf fibers (poor quality) produced from plantations in Pesanggarahan village, Lamongan regency, Indonesia, to produce alternative textile materials for textile craft and textile products. High-quality kenaf fibers have been utilized in the automotive, pulp and paper, and geotextile industries, while low-quality kenaf fibers are considered less potential and have only been used as gunny sacks. This research was conducted through an exploration and experimental approach, dividing the process into four stages, namely: (1) scouring stage using standard degumming of cellulose fibers; (2) testing strength and elongation of fibers; (3) bleaching stage of fibers; and (4) textile exploration stage with design and craft approach to create yarn and fabric weaving and crochet techniques, and the results were quantitatively tested to identify their mechanical and physical properties. This is beneficial as a solution to add value to a material to produce material trends for the development of textile craft products.
Presentational relative clauses introduced byżein Polish
Authors: Guz Wojciech 
Published: May 2023

SummaryIn this article, I examine relative uses of Polishże, which is normally regarded as a ‘that’-type complementizer. As is shown with corpus data,żeis in some contexts used as a non-canonical relativizer in colloquial spoken language, a use which may be seen as a relic function reflecting the historical origin of the subordinator. Crucially, I argue that contemporary relative uses ofżeare restricted to a specific functional variety, i. e. the presentational relative construction, as developed by, among others, Lambrecht (1988a, 1988b), Duffield et al. (2010), and Murelli (2011). Additional issues that will be addressed are the varying degrees of clausal integration and the rather fluid continuum of the very functions performed byże: its relative uses, general subordinator uses,żemarking elaboration/reformulation, as well as the relativization/complementation contrast.
Strawberry Additive Increases Nicotine Vapor Sampling and Systemic Exposure But Does Not Enhance Pavlovian-Based Nicotine Reward in Mice

Published: May 2023

AbstractNicotine is an addictive drug whose popularity has recently increased, particularly among adolescents, because of the availability of electronic nicotine devices (i.e., “vaping”) and nicotine e-liquids containing additives with rich chemosensory properties. Some efforts to understand the role of these additives in nicotine reward suggest that they increase nicotine reward and reinforcement, but the sensory contributions of additives, especially in their vapor forms, are largely untested. Here, to better understand how a fruit-flavored (i.e., strawberry) additive influences nicotine reward and aversion, we used a conditioned place preference (CPP) procedure in which nicotine and a strawberry additive were delivered as a vapor to male and female adolescent mice. We found that nicotine vapor alone can lead to a dose-dependent CPP when using a biased design. The strawberry additive did not produce CPP on its own, and we did not observe an effect of the strawberry additive on nicotine vapor-induced reward. Nevertheless, mice exposed to nicotine plus strawberry additive vapor had higher plasma cotinine concentrations, which did not appear to reflect altered nicotine metabolism. Instead, by directly measuring vapor sampling through respiration monitoring, we uncovered an increase in the amount of sniffing toward strawberry-containing nicotine vapor compared with nicotine vapor alone. Together these data indicate that chemosensory-rich e-liquid additives may enhance the perceived sensory profile of nicotine vapors rather than the reward value per se, which leads to overall increased nicotine exposure.
Global Social Sciences? Introducing a Series of Special Collections on the State and the Potential of the Social Sciences across the Globe
Authors: Anheier Helmut K. 
Published: May 2023

Nominally, the social sciences maintain the ideological aspiration of a unified, global endeavor for a better understanding of human societies, their economies, cultures, and polities. Over 150 years after their founding period, there is significant fragmentation and unevenness in this quest to understand the human condition. Distinct hierarchies and exclusionary structures emerged between the “West” and regions like Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, China and India and many parts of Asia. Some countries, even entire regions, are terra incognita from a Western vantage point and relegated to “area studies.” At the same time, distinct social science traditions have formed in countries and regions outside the West, with a new interest in developing approaches that rely less on Western foundations and conventional academic practices.
The questions become: Are the social sciences drifting further apart, or is there a possibility of greater dialogue, even cohesiveness, to advance our knowledge and understanding globally rather than only in some regions or countries? And if so, why, how, and for what? What are the main foci in research and teaching? What is the degree of institutionalization, and how could the global, regional, and national potentials of the social sciences be better realized?
To approach these questions, Global Perspectives launches systematic assessments of the state and the potential of the social sciences in different parts of the world. They address five key issue clusters: Western hegemony and fragmentation; basic conceptual and epistemological considerations; ideologies and normative foundations; academic freedom; and professionalization and commercialization. Given the significant scale and complex scope of the social sciences with their many specific subfields, methodologies, and curricula as well as varying degrees of professional institutionalization and different political backgrounds, the special collections present reflective essays on the state and the potential of the social sciences rather than comprehensive empirical stock-taking.

In brief
Paternal high-gain diet reduces blastocyst development following in vitro fertilization and embryo culture but does not affect gene expression or cellular allocation of resultant blastocysts.

Abstract
Bulls used in cattle production are often overfed to induce rapid growth, early puberty, and increase sale price. While the negative consequences of undernutrition on bull sperm quality are known, it is unclear how a high-gain diet influences embryo development. We hypothesized that semen collected from bulls fed a high-gain diet would have a reduced capacity to produce blastocysts following in vitro fertilization. Eight mature bulls were stratified by body weight and fed the same diet for 67 days at either a maintenance level (0.5% body weight per day; n = 4) or a high-gain rate (1.25% body weight per day; n = 4). Semen was collected by electroejaculation at the end of the feeding regimen and subjected to sperm analysis, frozen, and used for in vitro fertilization. The high-gain diet increased body weight, average daily gain, and subcutaneous fat thickness compared to the maintenance diet. Sperm of high-gain bulls tended to have increased early necrosis and had increased post-thaw acrosome damage compared with maintenance bulls, but diet did not affect sperm motility or morphology. Semen of high-gain bulls reduced the percentage of cleaved oocytes that developed to blastocyst stage embryos. Paternal diet had no effect on the number of total or CDX2-positive cells of blastocysts, or blastocysts gene expression for markers associated with developmental capacity. Feeding bulls a high-gain diet did not affect sperm morphology or motility, but increased adiposity and reduced the ability of sperm to generate blastocyst-stage embryos.

Досліджено вплив концентрацій ПАР та часу обробки ультразвуком на величину аналітичного сигналу при атомно – абсорбційному визначенні хрому та кобальту. Показано, що максимальний аналітичний сигнал досягається при використанні водних розчинів Тритон Х-100 (ω = 5%) та обробці ультразвуком 15 хв. Підвищено чутливість визначення кобальту в 1,53 рази, а хрому в 1,41 рази. Атомно – абсорбційним та рентгенофлуоресцентним методами визначено вміст аналітів в субстанціях парацетамолу, кофеїну та анальгіну. Методом «введено – знайдено» та шляхом варіювання маси наважки зразків показано, що систематична похибка методики незначна. За F- та t- критеріями оцінено узгодженість результатів, отриманих двома незалежними методами. Показано, що дисперсії однорідні, а розбіжність між середніми не значима та оправдана випадковим розкидом. Розроблено методику визначення хрому та кобальту в субстанціях фармацевтичних препаратів. Межа виявлення кобальту – 0,4 мкг/л, хрому 0,5 мкг/л.

Published: May 2023

Надмірне надходження зі стічними водами промислових підприємств біогенних речовин, зокрема фосфору, спричиняє надмірну евтрофікацію природних водойм, що призводить до якісного виснаження водних ресурсів. Найбільш перспективним методом очищення води від фосфатів є іонний обмін. У роботі досліджені процеси сорбції фосфатів на високоосновному аніоніті в хлоридній та лужній формах. Досліджено процеси впливу конкуруючих аніонів на ефективність вилучення фосфатів. Встановлено, що селективність аніоніту АВ-17-8 збільшується в ряду хлориди-фосфати-сульфати. Показано, що для регенерації аніоніту в фосфатній та фосфатно-сульфатній формах доцільно використовувати розчини 10 % NH4Cl, 15 % NaCl, 6 % Na2CO3, 7 % KOH, 6 % (NH4)2SO4. Розроблені методи вилучення фосфатів із регенераційних розчинів, що робить їх придатними для повторного використання. Для створення безвідходних процесів було запропоновано спосіб вилучення фосфатів із води на аніоніті АВ-17-8 та його регенерацію, що дозволить вилучати фосфати у вигляді мінеральних добрив та багаторазово використовувати регенераційні розчини.

У роботі теоретично показано та експериментально підтверджено, що оксихлорид алюмінію марки «Алюмофлок» за рН 7.5 краще взаємодіє з мономерною формою ортосилікатної кислоти. Визначення ортосилікатної кислоти проводилось методом молекулярної спектрофотометрії з фторосилікату натрію. З використанням квантово-хімічних методів дослідження була показана енергетика взаємодії оксихлориду алюмінію з ортосилікатними кислотами та встановлено особливості будови утворюваних комплексів загального складу [Al(H2O)5–L]2+ та [Al(OH)(H2O)4–L]+, де L – мономерна, димерна (піросилікатна) та тримерна форма ортосилікатної кислоти, а також показана енергетика зв’язків між центральним атомом та лігандами у досліджуваних комплексах. Були запропоновані механізми утворення таких комплексів як [Al(H2O)5–OSi(OH)3]2+, [Al(H2O)5–OSi2O(OH)5]2+ та [Al(H2O)5–OSi3O2(OH)7]2+ та розрахована їх енергетика утворення. Також було зазначено, що структура ОСК не впливає на міжатомну відстань Al–O та енергію зв’язування між ними у комплексах НОХА-ОСК.

Ideas anticomunistas, antiliberales y antimasónicas expresadas en la revista Estudios centroamericanos (ECA)
Authors: Chanta Martínez René 
Published: May 2023

En este artículo se hará una aproximación a las ideas antiliberales y antimasónicas que aparecieron publicadas en la revista Estudios Centroamericanos (ECA) en El Salvador durante los años de 1946 a 1964. Era dirigida por sacerdotes de la Companía de Jesús de la provincia de Centroamérica. Desde su fundación (1946) hasta el año de 1965 en el que concluye el Concilio Vaticano II, se verá que el pensamiento antimasónico y antiliberal de la revista está en sintonía con las condenas hacia la masonería provenientes de la Iglesia Católica.

Published: May 2023

A educação por competências, aliada ao uso de metodologias ativas, propõe nova dinâmica no processo de formação profissional, que desenraiza o conceito de ensino-aprendizagem tradicional focado no docente, pauta recorrente nas discussões que envolvem núcleos de análise de proposições e atualizações de projetos pedagógicos de cursos de ciências contábeis no Brasil. Dessa forma, este estudo teve como objetivo analisar a percepção de docentes e discentes acerca da importância e do uso de educação por competências e metodologias ativas. Foi realizada pesquisa exploratória, por meio de análise fatorial, para associar variáveis que denotam tal percepção. Foi aplicado um questionário por meio de survey à 24 docentes e 206 discentes do curso de ciências contábeis de uma universidade pública federal. Os resultados evidenciaram a construção de seis conceitos, a partir da extração dos fatores do conjunto de itens avaliados: (PA1) Aulas dinâmicas com solução de problemas práticos; (PA2) O lúdico no desenvolvimento de competências; (PA3) Boas práticas do professor dedicado; (PA4) Ranço das metodologias passivas; (PA5) Diversificação da avaliação; e (PA6) Plano de ensino eficiente. Os resultados evidenciaram que, com exceção do fator (PA4), que envolve hábitos arraigados, todos os outros fatores são compatíveis com as bases teóricas que preconizam o processo de ensino-aprendizagem, podem contribuir para uma sólida formação baseada no conhecimento, na ciência e nas tecnologias. Isso indica se tratar de um ambiente favorável para construção do novo projeto pedagógico do curso, o que, por sua vez, estaria em sintonia com preceitos propostos nas novas diretrizes curriculares para ciências contábeis.
Major earthquakes in Mexicali Valley, Mexico, and fluid extraction at Cerro Prieto Geothermal Field
Authors: Glowacka E. , Nava F. A. 
Published: May 2023

AbstractEpisodes of increased seismic moment release around the Cerro Prieto Geothermal Field (CPGF) show a significant correlation with three large increases of sustained fluid extraction, with delays of about 1 yr. Increased seismic activity involves three large strike-slip earthquakes: Imperial Valley (ML = 6.6, 15 October 1979) and Victoria (ML = 6.1, 9 June 1980), which occurred after a production increase in 1979, and Cerro Prieto (ML = 5.4, 7 February 1987), which occurred after another production increase in 1986.The probabilities of the observed correlation between production increase and increased seismic activity occurring by chance (for binomial or Poisson seismicity distributions) are rather small, although their significance is not very large due to the small number of data. High probability of triggering by fluid extraction at times of high probability of earthquake occurrence from tectonic loading suggests a possible connection between production and occurrence of ML ≧ 5.4 earthquakes near CPGF.The strong earthquakes occurred at distances from CPGF within ranges over which induced seismicity has been observed for other engineering activities worldwide. Seismic diffusivity, calculated from their hypocentral distances and delay times from production increases, are in good agreement with values estimated worldwide for reservoirs, and estimated pressure changes at the earthquake sites, induced by production in CPGF, can be large enough for triggering.The observed time correlation, plus supporting statistical and spatio-temporal observations, although not conclusive, suggest the possibility of large tectonic earthquake triggering by extraction activity at the Cerro Prieto Geothermal Field. This possibility should be considered for estimation of seismic hazard and earthquake prediction in the Mexicali-Imperial Valley region.
A radial model of anelasticity consistent with long-period surface-wave attenuation
Authors: Durek Joseph J. , Ekström Göran 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
A new global model of radial variations in intrinsic shear and compressional attenuation, Qμ(r) and Qκ(r), is presented. The model, called QL6, is derived from recent observations of long-period (150 &lt; T &lt; 300 sec) Rayleigh- and Love-wave attenuation and an extensive set of mode decay observations compiled from the literature. Our preferred model consists of six layers of constant Q, where the parameterization of Qμ(r) follows that of the anelastic component of the preliminary reference earth model (PREM). Relative to the commonly used models of PREM and QM1, lower values of Qμ are required in the upper 200 km of the mantle to explain observations of Love-wave attenuation. The observations require a finite level of compressional attenuation, preferentially located in the upper mantle. An analysis using continuous spline-basis functions supports the layered parameterization—with the recovered model possessing strong gradients in Qμ at the 670-km discontinuity; at the bottom of the asthenosphere; and to a lesser extent, at the base of the lithosphere. However, the continuous model does not have a significant discontinuity in Qμ at the 400-km phase boundary.
