A Self-existence of the #TBSBabes Community Member through The Refill Station program

The beauty industry is considered the most significant contributor to plastic waste in Indonesia and companies within this industry are expected to prioritize environmental concerns. Since 2022, beauty industries in Indonesia have shifted their trends towards using more natural and eco-friendly products. This research aims to analyze the self-identity of members of the #TBSBabes Community through The Body Shop's Refill Station program. The study is conducted using a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach to analyze and describe the data. Applying Alfred Schutz's phenomenological theory, two types of motives were identified among members of the #TBSBabes Community: habitual motives and environmental motives. Additionally, there are educational motives related to environmental preservation. Based on these motives, researchers interpret the form of self-identity shaped by the participation of #TBSBabes Community members in the Refill Station program as being recognized by their social environment as eco-beauty content creators. Each human behavior carries meaning, as demonstrated in this research by members of the #TBSBabes Community seeking recognition in their social environment.

Pod Yield Stability of Best Groundnut Varieties from National Agricultural Research Stations Program in West Africa

This study aimed to evaluate different varieties of groundnut introduced from four breeding programs in West Africa for their stability and adaptability in agro-ecological zones of Niger. The study used a randomized complete block design with three replicates at three locations. Analysis of variance revealed significant variation among varieties and the effect of environment on pod yield was highly significant (P<0.001). GGE biplot analysis was used to identify the best varieties for each environment and assess the stability of the newly introduced varieties. The GGE biplot described all the observed variations and explained 98.42% of the total variation, indicating a strong genotype by environment interaction effect. The evaluation of varietal performance indicated that Pyr-370 and Rafeet Car thrived exceptionally well in Bengou and Magaria, respectively, while El_Tarna exhibited the highest performance at Tarna. Variety SH470P was the most stable and productive among the introduced varieties in the different environments, while ICGV86124 was stable but low yielding. On the other hand, the introduced varieties ICGV86024, ICGV-IS14857 and Pyr-370 demonstrated superior productivity, yet their performance inconsistency underscored inherent instability.

Study of Nuclear Structure and Elastic Electron Scattering Form Factors for Neutron Halo Nuclei (22N ,23O and 24F) Using Full Correlation Functions with Two Size Parameters

The study of neutron-rich nuclei's form factors, root-mean-square radius (rms), and nuclear density distributions is the focus of this work for the nuclei (22N,23 O and 24F). With the use of a strong short-range effect and a strong tensor force, the nucleons distribution function of the two oscillating harmonic particles in a two-frequency shell model operates with two different parameters: the first (bcore), for the inner (core) orbits, and the second (bvalence) for the outer (halo) orbits. This work demonstrated the existence of neutron halo nuclei for the nuclei (22N, 23O and 24F) in the (2s1/2) shell. The computed density distribution of neutron, proton and matter for these nuclei displayed the long tail performance. Using the Borne approximation of the plane wave, the elastic form factor of the electron scattering from the alien nucleus was calculated, this form factor is independent of the neutrons that make up the halo, but rather it results from a difference in the proton density distribution of the last proton in the nuclei. Fortran 95 power station program was used to the neutron, proton and matter density, elastic electron scattering form factor, and rms radii. The calculated outcomes for these exotic nuclei were in good agreement with the experimental data.

Community Radio Influence and Project Interventions During the Covid-19 Period

The Ministry of Health in Nairobi, Kenya confirmed the first case of COVID-19 (Corona Virus) on the 12th of March 2020 since the outbreak in China in December of 2019. COVID-19 was declared a pandemic and as a result negatively affected the lives of communities globally. Job loss, mental illness, uncertainty, deaths, domestic violence, denial, misconceptions of the existence of COVID-19 and depressed economies are some of the characteristic features of nations during the pandemic. The purpose of this study was to explore the role of community radio in community engagement in response to the COVID-19 pandemic among Voi and Marsabit marginalised communities in Kenya. The study objectives were to determine the influence of Sifa FM community radio station programmes on community development in Voi and Marsabit communities during the COVID-19 period; to establish the COVID-19 intervention projects conducted by Sifa FM community radio stations in Kenya that promote community development initiatives in Marsabit and Voi; to assess the challenges encountered when engaging in COVID-19 intervention projects by Sifa FM Voi and Marsabit community radio stations in Kenya to promote community engagement; and to identify risks and gaps encountered by Sifa FM Voi and Marsabit community radio stations during the COVID-19 period in Kenya. The study adopted the Empowerment Theory. 212 respondents participated in this study and consisted of four groups: The Sifa FM station manager, 11 community leaders and 100 community members in both Voi and Marsabit respectively. Purposive sampling was used to select community leaders and Sifa FM radio station manager, while snowball sampling was adopted to select community members residing in Voi and Marsabit communities. Mixed research design was adopted for this study. Data was collected using two interview guides and a semi-structured questionnaire. Data was collected between July and October 2021. Quantitative data was captured using SPSS version 20 software while qualitative data was analysed using thematic and content analysis.Findings revealed that Sifa FM community radio station programmes aired during the COVID-19 period contributed to increased levels of social and economic development in Voi and Marsabit communities. Social development was achieved to some extent through educating Sifa FM listeners on COVID-19 which influenced community health. Programmes about economic activities that were aired on Sifa FM provided insight that would impact the living standards of community members and economic development. Sifa FM contributed significantly to social-economic development of Voi and Marsabit communities during the COVID-19 period. Findings further revealed that Sifa FM contributed to several project interventions where the highest number of respondents supported public awareness on COVID-19 interventions as the priority. Results indicated that more can be done to increase the scope of outreach for project interventions from Sifa FM. There are challenges which were encountered by Voi and Marsa bit communities such as distribution of low-quality masks. Gaps were identified such as creating awareness of COVID-19. One risk associated with COVID-19 in Voi and Marsabit was job loss at a percentage of 84%

China’s Bifurcated Space Diplomacy and Institutional Density

Abstract This article compares two central pillars of China’s space programme and observes that Chinese space diplomacy is not uniform regarding international scientific co-operation either in its approaches or in results. In the case of the Chinese Space Station programme, the China National Space Administration went through existing United Nations (UN) channels and successfully attracted international partners. However, the International Lunar Research Station has avoided UN channels and used national and bilateral platforms. This bifurcation in approaches and results offers an intriguing puzzle concerning international co-operation: practices of institutionalised multilateral co-operation and areas of state-centric bilateral co-operation co-exist in this case and further complicate the issue of space diplomacy. To propose a potential explanation, it is argued here that a crucial intermediate variable — institutional density — requires further theorising, as it seems to influence strategic choices about space diplomacy, which may lead to success or failure.

Theoretical Study of Proton Halo Structure and Elastic Electron Scattering Form Factor for 23Al and 27P Nuclei by Using Full Correlation Functions (Tensor Force and Short Range)

The study of proton-rich nuclei's form factors, root-mean-square radius (rms), and nuclear density distributions is the focus of this work for nuclei (23Al and 27P), use two body charge density distributions (2BCDD's). With the effects of the strong tensor force and short range, the nucleon distribution function of the two oscillating harmonic particles in a two-frequency shell model operates with two different parameters: bc for the inner (core) orbits and bv for the outer (halo) orbitals. This work demonstrated the existence of proton halo nuclei for the nuclei (23Al and 27P) in the shell (2s1/2), and the computed proton, neutron, and matter density distributions for these nuclei both displayed the long tail of the performance. Using the Borne approximation of the plane wave, the elastic form factor of the electron scattering from the alien nucleus was calculated, this form factor is dependent on the difference in the proton density distribution of the last proton in the nucleus. The Fortran 95 power station program was used to calculate the neutrons, protons, matter density, elastic electron scattering form factor, and rms radii. The calculated outcomes for these exotic nuclei agree well with the experimental data.

Development studies at NASA on large orbital structures, 1975–1985

This paper provides a review of early development studies on structures carried out by NASA and US aerospace contractors between 1975 and 1985 before and during the initiation of the Space Station programme. The studies envisioned very large structures built in orbit using the Space Shuttle, then in the process of entering service. Their original purpose was to function as solar power, antenna and communications platforms. The studies explored the application of automatically-fabricated trusses, then preassembled deployable trusses, and then astronaut-assembled erectable trusses. By the time of the Station’s go-ahead in 1984, a large erectable truss structure formed the backbone of the Station’s design. Erectable trusses were successfully tested on a Space Shuttle mission in 1985 but later abandoned after the Shuttle Challenger disaster in 1986. Taken together, the 1975–1985 development studies have much historical significance as the first generation of ideas about large engineered structures for extraterrestrial applications.

Use of ECOSTRESS data for measurements of the surface water temperature: Significance of data filtering in accuracy assessment

The ECOsystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space Station (ECOSTRESS) program was launched in 2018 and provided the scientific community with extremely valuable surface temperature data distributed with a fine resolution of 70 m. This global data can be used in environmental, engineering and many other fields to measure surface temperature in hard-to-reach places or add data to discrete temperature measurements from the field. One of the aspects of data use by the broad scientific community is a clear methodology and understanding of potential error between ECOSTRESS sensor data measured by radiometer and surface temperature measured by conventional temperature sensors.This study uses three years of ECOSTRESS data (2018–2021) and surface water temperature data collected by the New York City Department of Environmental Protection on water supply reservoirs over the same time period. Data between two sources were matched spatially and temporarily. We developed a methodology of data filtering using temporal constraints and ECOSTRESS auxiliary information on clouds and signal quality indicators (flags) supplied in NASA provided documentation.The results of the study showed that the successful use of ECOSTRESS measurements requires data filtering using flags and temporal constraints. This might cause considerable reduction of original ECOSTRESS data and the number of measurements available for analysis. In our experimental settings, use of flags and temporal constraints reduced the original dataset with 442 records down to only six records; for this dataset the average temperature difference between ECOSTRESS data and measured data was found to be 2.6 °C. This number might vary according to local environmental conditions affecting surface water temperature. The proposed methodology signifies its importance in assessing the accuracy in estimating surface water temperature.

Sensor Penyiaran Televisi Indonesia : Menyoal Muatan Negatif Dalam Konten Siaran Televisi

Censorship on television becomes a polemic in society, especially when censorship is carried out on certain images which even become controversial because they are considered unrealistic. Various parties regretted it, but not a few criticized and blamed the government in this case KPI and LSF for their ignorance of the censorship system on television. Although the issue of censorship is not the realm of the KPI in a pragmatic manner, it still has a big role to play in this situation because it governs the policy. How to make and apply laws and regulations when applied by television practitioners so that it gives rise to various interpretations including the irrelevant censorship. Analytical descriptive research method is used in reviewing this research by making an actual and factual path analysis regarding the facts, policies and implications of television broadcasting industry policies. The results of this study indicate that there is a need for intense supervision from KPI and LSF in their capacity to censor television station programs and anticipate the various censorship limits of television companies as a result of differences in human resources and technology capabilities and the application of censorship.

Pre-conceptual design of an encapsulated breeder commercial blanket for the STEP fusion reactor

As part of the UKAEA Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) fusion power station programme, a novel breeding blanket design was assessed. A conceptual design of STEP, which will be an innovative plan for a commercially-viable fusion power station, will be completed by 2024. The final aim of the current assessment is to find a pre-conceptual design that can be manufactured with existing techniques without compromising the fuel self-sufficiency, the heat removal and the shielding functions. The proposed concept, an starting point towards a commercial blanket design, is based on encapsulating the breeding material into hollow spheres forming a gas cooled packed bed. The generated tritium in the breeding material, as well as helium, will will be extracted from the pebbles and directly removed from the blanket by the cooling gas. A frontal multiplier as well as a back reflector have also been studied to maximize the tritium generation. This paper, which is a decided first step towards a breeding blanket for STEP, covers the material design properties and their compatibility, the design configuration, the neutronics analysis, the thermal-hydraulics analysis, a preliminary structural analysis, safety aspects and waste segregation and disposal.

Перспективы применения околоземной ГНСС в качестве инфраструктуры для навигационного обеспечения лунных миссий

An increasing number of space agencies consider Moon exploration as a part of national and international space programs. Exploration plans include a distributed network of facilities on and around the Moon; opportunities for “driving force” projects based on the International Space Station program experience; and, on the whole, formation of the “Earth – low lunar orbit – Moon surface” payload traffic flow. The payload needs analysis shows that the cutting-edge Moon exploration program requires high quality navigation services (precise estimation of coordinates and velocity in near-real time). The subject of this paper is the issues of creating a navigation service based on the experience of the Russian segment of ISS and using the existing near-Earth GNSS systems as a navigation infrastructure.

In this interview, she introduces the scientific goals, plans and aspirations of the CSS.

Implementation of a New Hampshire community-initiated response to the opioid crisis: A mixed-methods process evaluation of Safe Station

BackgroundNew Hampshire (NH) ranked first for fentanyl- and all opioid-related overdose deaths per capita from 2014 to 2016 and third in 2017 with no rate reduction from the previous year relative to all other states in the US. In response to the opioid crisis in NH, Manchester Fire Department (MFD), the state's largest city fire department, launched the Safe Station program in 2016 in partnership with other community organizations. This community-based response to the crisis—described as a connection to recovery—focuses on reducing barriers to accessing resources for people with substance use and related problems. The study aim is to characterize the multi-organizational partnerships and workflow of the Safe Station model and identify key components that are engaging, effective, replicable, and sustainable. MethodsA mixed-methods design included: semi-structured qualitative interviews conducted with 110 stakeholders from six groups of community partners (Safe Station clients, MFD staff and leadership, and local emergency department, ambulance, and treatment partner staff); implementation and sustainability surveys (completed by MFD stakeholders); and ethnographic observations conducted at MFD. Qualitative data were content analyzed and coded using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. Survey subscales were scored and evaluated to corroborate the qualitative findings. ResultsCommunity partners identified key program characteristics including firefighter compassion, low-threshold access, and immediacy of service linkage. Implementation and sustainability survey data corroborate the qualitative interview and observation data in these areas. All participants agreed that community partnerships are key to the program's success. There were mixed evaluations of the quality of communication among the organizations. ConclusionSafe Station is a novel response to the opioid crisis in New Hampshire that offers immediate, non-judgmental access to services for persons with opioid use disorders requiring community-wide engagement and communication. Data convergence provides guidance to the sustainability and replicability of the program.

Predicting chromosome damage in astronauts participating in international space station missions

Space radiation consists of energetic protons and other heavier ions. During the International Space Station program, chromosome aberrations in lymphocytes of astronauts have been analyzed to estimate received biological doses of space radiation. More specifically, pre-flight blood samples were exposed ex vivo to varying doses of gamma rays, while post-flight blood samples were collected shortly and several months after landing. Here, in a study of 43 crew-missions, we investigated whether individual radiosensitivity, as determined by the ex vivo dose–response of the pre-flight chromosome aberration rate (CAR), contributes to the prediction of the post-flight CAR incurred from the radiation exposure during missions. Random-effects Poisson regression was used to estimate subject-specific radiosensitivities from the preflight dose–response data, which were in turn used to predict post-flight CAR and subject-specific relative biological effectiveness (RBEs) between space radiation and gamma radiation. Covariates age, gender were also considered. Results indicate that there is predictive value in background CAR as well as radiosensitivity determined preflight for explaining individual differences in post-flight CAR over and above that which could be explained by BFO dose alone. The in vivo RBE for space radiation was estimated to be approximately 3 relative to the ex vivo dose response to gamma irradiation. In addition, pre-flight radiosensitivity tended to be higher for individuals having a higher background CAR, suggesting that individuals with greater radiosensitivity can be more sensitive to other environmental stressors encountered in daily life. We also noted that both background CAR and radiosensitivity tend to increase with age, although both are highly variable. Finally, we observed no significant difference between the observed CAR shortly after mission and at > 6 months post-mission.

Development of a method for geometric modeling of centrifugal compressor impellers

The practice of designing centrifugal compressors in which impellers are the main components shows that there are reserves for their further improvement. One of the main reserves consists in improving flow conditions for the compressed medium in the compressor setting and, above all, in the impeller. A method of geometric modeling settings of the impellers of centrifugal compressors was proposed which involves the construction of meridional boundaries of impellers and the blade profile on an involute of the cylindrical surface of the outer radius of the impeller. The blade is represented by ruled surfaces. The outer boundary of the impeller is described by a curve in natural parameterization using cubic dependence of curvature on the arc length. Dependences and length of the arc are determined in the process of modeling the boundary based on the set source data. The problem is solved by minimizing deviations of intermediate curves from the boundary endpoint. The inner boundary is obtained as an envelope of circles inscribed in the meridional channel of the impeller. Radii of the circles are determined taking into account the flow areas of the channel. The midline of the blade profile on an involute of the cylindrical surface of the outer radius of the impeller is modeled using a curve that is presented in natural parameterization with quadratic law of curvature distribution. A computer code was developed in the Fortran Power Station programming environment that visualizes the obtained numerical results graphically on a computer display in addition to digital information on the modeled boundaries and the blade profile. Graphical results were presented. They confirmed the efficiency of the proposed method of modeling the settings of centrifugal compressor impellers. The method can be useful to offices involved in the design of centrifugal compressors
