MHD Nanofluid Flow with Gyrotactic Microorganisms on a Sheet Embedded in a Porous Medium

A numerical study of MHD nanofluid flow with gyrotactic microorganisms due to a stretching sheet embedded in a porous media is presented. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) are transformed into corresponding ordinary ones through a power tool of similarity transformation. Impressions of important parameters on physical measures through tables as well as figures are discussed. The applied magnetic field tends to rise the shear stress while lessens the rates of heat transfer, nanoparticle volume fraction and microorganism’s density. The porous medium causes reduction in velocity distribution while it grows other measures like temperature, nanoparticle volume fraction and microorganisms density. The present work has various applications in industry, technology and biosciences.

Just playing, but seriously

Il gioco, tema centrale di questo numero di FAMagazine, unisce diversi campi del sapere artistico diventando chiave di lettura utile a ricomporre la pluridimensionalità della conoscenza e del mondo stesso, in grado di contrapporsi al reale prospettandone una alternativa, in grado quasi di acquisire alcuni aspetti del sacro. Il gioco come processo combinatorio, come capacità di assemblaggio come montaggio, ma anche il gioco strumento educativo e pedagogico, di conoscenza e di trasformazione del mondo che ignora le condizioni del reale poiché compie, volontariamente, un’astrazione. Il gioco, che come tale ha le sue regole che determinano ciò che avverrà dentro un mondo temporaneo delimitato dal gioco stesso dove le sue regole sono assolutamente obbligate e inconfutabili ma codificabili e trasmissibili.

“Platformization” as a management tool of digital transformation in the sphere of tourism

Digital economy is a natural stage of development of economic system, in which the main values of economic actors consist in the knowledge and nonmaterial production. Within scientific literature prevail research of the impact of separate aspects of digital transformation upon the activity of tourism agencies and development of vacation destinations, namely the use of digital booking platforms, augmented reality in museums and exhibitions, as well as the Internet of things. However, interrelation of these vectors of development in the process of digital transformation, as well as the mechanisms of its management applicable to the sphere of tourism and Russian economy are studied insufficiently. The subject of this research is the economy and management of a separate tourism agency and the entire industry. The goal of this work consists in conducting a comprehensive research of Russian and foreign literature on the topic of methodology for managing digital transformation in different economic sectors; as well as determination of distinct characteristic of managing digital transformations in tourism sphere and the factors affecting this process. The author applies comparative analysis of literary sources and experience of managing digital transformation through implementation of digital platforms. The introduction of platform approach in management of digital transformation substantiated the transition towards network service interaction (versus traditional cooperation) as the backbone of the economy. Digital transformation of the entire economic sector requires close collaboration of economic actors within the framework of a region or a country. A conclusion is made the most appropriate model of the development of tourism sector of the economy is the ecosystem of digital platforms. Due to its peculiarities, tourism sphere can become a favorable platform for approbation of management techniques of digital transformation, functionality of regional digital platforms and system integrators.

Repairing Symbolic Reparations: Assessing the Effectiveness of Memorialization in the Inter-American System of Human Rights

ABSTRACT∞ The power of memorialization is widely recognized as a form of symbolic reparation aimed at overcoming deep social divisions in the aftermath of mass violence. Yet memorialization as a juridical tool of repair lacks systematic conceptual elaboration, and its potential remains underutilized. This often results in ineffective, even detrimental monuments, and in programmatic failures to integrate memorial practices into multilayered strategies for justice and social reconciliation. This article explores three case studies from the Inter-American Human Rights System in order to examine the strengths and shortcomings of existing approaches to memorialization. We then offer recommendations for expanding the reparative and transformative capacities of symbolic reparations. We conclude by summarizing our observations on how the fundamentally expressive nature of symbolic reparations provides a potentially powerful tool of repair and transformation.

As bases psicológicas da educação brasileira e a formação docente no capitalismo contemporâneo (The psychological basis of Brazilian education and teacher training in contemporary capitalism)

The objective of this article is to rescue and reflect on the psychological bases of Brazilian education and teacher education in contemporary capitalism, considering that the historical background concerning psychology in its demarche as a science is of paramount importance to understand the role of psychology On education. For this purpose, we rely on the Marxian onto-criticism, a reference that allows us to unveil the contradictions and determinants of the real. The methodological procedures adopted are based on bibliographic and documentary research. It was observed that the institutionalization of psychological knowledge in education, as a tool to construct the subjectivity of individuals, intends to postulate itself as a neutral knowledge, however, we must be aware that our social practices are not neutral, but, contradictory, full of guiding ideologies of educational praxis. We recognize that both psychology and hegemonic education act as instruments of reform, contrary to revolutionary practice, the only real tool of social transformation.

Nanofluid flow comprising gyrotactic microbes through a porous medium - a numerical study

Researchers have significantly contributed to heat transfer field and always made out much effort to find new solutions of heat transfer augmentation. In the concerned work, we have presented a novel study regarding heat and mass transfer flow of nanofluid in the presence of gyrotactic microbes through a porous medium past a stretching sheet. The nonlinear coupled ODEs are obtained after applying the persuasive tool of similarity transformation on governing model PDEs and then tackled numerically by exploiting the SOR (Successive over Relaxation) parameter method. The outcomes of assorted parameters for the flow are surveyed and discussed through graphs and tables. A graphical comparison is correlated with previously accomplished study and examined to be in an exceptional agreement. The culminations designate that the bioconvection Peclet number and microorganism concentration difference parameter enhance density of the motile microorganisms. Moreover, porosity parameter substantially increases shear stress on sheet surface. The addition of nanoparticles in microorganisms is beneficial to improvise the thermal efficiency of many systems like bacteria powered micro-mixers, microfluidics devices like micro-volumes and enzyme biosensor, microbial fuel cells and bio-microsystems like chip-shaped microdevices.

DIGITAL PLATFORMS AS TIMELY INNOVATIONS

According to the text of the Instruction of the Government of the Russian Federation of 28.07.2017 №1632-r, the term “digital economy” means “the program aimed at creation of eco-system in which the data in the digital form are the key production factor in all spheres of social and economic activity …» [1]. Digital platforms are the key tool of digital economy transformation. Now there is no uniform definition or approach to the concept of “digital platform”. We will consider only some of them.

Going Digital Toolkit platform as a monitoring tool of the digital transformation in the Russian Federation

Purpose of the study. OECD «Going Digital Toolkit» is one of the tools for monitoring of the digital transformation. Platform can helps to quantify various areas of digitalization and provides a comprehensive description of the changes in the socio-economic sphere. Despite the Going Digital Toolkit platform has the objective advantages, this tool is practically not used by Russian researchers. The purpose of this study is to analyze the possibility of using «Going Digital Toolkit» platform as a tool for monitoring the development of the digital economy in the Russian Federation. Materials and methods. To achieve the goal of the study, a comparative analysis of the indicators of the Going Digital Toolkit platform was carried out on the OECD countries, European Union countries and the Russian Federation. Research was carried out to: 1) identify the presence of certain indicators in the platform system in case of the analysis the Russian Federation; 2) investigate the relevance of data on indicators presented in the platform system for the Russian Federation; 3) analyze the position of the Russian Federation regarding the OECD and the EU; 4) determine reserves to achieve monitoring integrity based on Russian state statistics and other sources; 5) develop the recommendations for improving the statistics of digital transformation in the Russian Federation. Along with the information published on the Going Digital Toolkit platform, the data of the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat) and the data of the Ministry of Digital Development, Telecommunications and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation were used. Results. The position of Russia can be assessed as «lagging» in comparison with the countries of the European Union and the OECD. For most indicators that characterize access and use of the Internet, e-commerce and skills, Russia does not exceed these countries. In some cases, the twofold superiority of the EU and OECD countries over the Russian Federation makes it impossible to make an optimistic forecast to correct the current situation in the near future. However, the position of Russia identified on the basis of the platform’s data does not reflect the situation in real time, which suggests positive dynamics in some of the indicators presented. The issue of using the platform as a tool for monitoring digital transformation in the Russian Federation is debatable. The incompleteness of the information presented in Russia makes the tool impractical, however, the available information, together with the functional advantages of the analytical platform, opens up new opportunities for users. Conclusion. The Going Digital Toolkit platform acts not only as an interactive tool for analyzing numerical values for a number of indicators, but also as a standard of a system of statistical indicators necessary for measuring processes and phenomena of digital transformation. The platform can serve as a guide for national statistical agencies in the development of relevant surveys and improve the methodological foundations of statistics in the field of information and communication technologies.

MarketizingHindutva: The state, society, and markets in Hindu nationalism

AbstractThe embrace of markets and globalization by radical political parties is often taken as reflecting and facilitating the moderation of their ideologies. This article considers the case of Hindu nationalism, orHindutva, in India. It is argued that, rather than resulting in the moderation of Hindu nationalism, mainstream economic ideas are adopted and adapted by its proponents to further theHindutvaproject. Hence, until the 1990s, the Hindu nationalist political party, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), its earlier incarnation, the Jana Sangh, and the grass-roots organization, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), adopted and adapted mainstream ideas by emphasizing the state as the protector of (Hindu) society against markets and as a tool of societal transformation for its Hindu nationalist support base. Since the 1990s, Indian bureaucratic and political elites, including in the BJP, have adopted a view of the market as the main driver of societal transformations. Under the leadership of Narendra Modi, in particular, the BJP has sought to consolidate a broader support base and stimulate economic growth and job creation by bolstering the corporate sector and recreating the middle and ‘neo-middle’ classes as ‘virtuous market citizens’ who view themselves as entrepreneurs and consumers but whose behaviour is regulated by the framework of Hindu nationalism. These policies, however, remain contested within the Hindu nationalist movement and in Indian society generally. The BJP's discourse against ‘anti-nationals’ and the use of legal sanctions against dissent is an attempt to curb these challenges.

Reservation in education – a tool of social transformation? Critical analysis of the caste based reservation as exhibited in the Indian education system

Reservation in education – a tool of social transformation? Critical analysis of the caste based reservation as exhibited in the Indian education system

Hukum dan Bahasa: Refleksi dan Transformasi Pemenuhan Hak Ekonomi, Sosial dan Budaya

The regulation of economic, social and cultural rights is always intertwined with language. Language is significant in the written dimension of legal protection and the legal fulfillment of rights. The text of the law is a commitment to fulfilling rights. Understanding the structure of the text is necessary to predict and reach the needs, as well as to fulfill the rights. States must be able to recognize legal texts that are aligned and responsive. These legal texts must favor the fulfillment of the civil rights through language that reflects and transforms elements of the economic, social, and cultural rights (ie. freedom, availability, accessibility, and conformity). Yet, it is often that the language in the legal text formulated is inconsistent and uncertain. Language as a tool of transformation can also become a tool that shackles. This issue requires an understanding of intertextuality, with respect to the text of the law. One strategy is to highlight the elements in legal texts: principles, standards, and concepts to enforce values and legal goals. This effort is intended to understand the various factors and relationships that affect the accuracy of meaning, and subsequently reflect on the purpose of formulating that legal text. The discovered weakness of the text can thus be reconstructed in responsive, progressive and communicative spaces and structures.

A novel three-direction datum transformation of geodetic coordinates for Egypt using artificial neural network approach

The geodetic datum transformation in-between local and global systems seen in the world are inspiring for the engineering applications. In this context, the Egyptian geodetic network has a limited observation for the terrestrial and satellite of the geodetic networks. Transforming the coordinates of the Egyptian datum, here we demonstrate the datum transformation in three directions from global to local coordinates that utilized the artificial neural network (ANN) technique as a new tool of datum transformation in Egypt. A conventional, which are the Helmert and Molodensky, and numerical, which are the regression, minimum curvature surface, and ANN, datum transformation techniques are investigated and compared over the available data in Egypt. The results showed an accurate transforming datum using ANN technique for both common and check points, and the novel model improved the transformation coordinates by 37 to 72% in space directions. A comparison between the conventional and numerical techniques shows that the accuracy of the developed ANN model is 20.16 cm in terms of standard deviation based on the residuals of the projected coordinates.

The Cosmetics Consumption Behavior Related to Aesthetic Consciousness in Post-80s, 90s Generation in Xi’an

For a further understanding of the Chinese consumer, this study investigated 1) the effects of aesthetic consciousness on make-up attitude, and 2) the differences in the effect of aesthetics consciousness on make-up attitude among age groups. An online survey was conducted on female consumers belonging to the post- 80s and 90s generations, living in Xian China. SPSS 24.0 and Amos 18.0 was used for data analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis for the research variables were performed and three factors of aesthetic consciousness (social relations consideration, internal consideration, and external consideration), and four factors of make-up attitude (psychological pleasure, self-satisfaction, consciousness of others, and tool of transformation) were identified. The results from the model test were : 1) aesthetics consciousness was found to vary depending on make-up attitude. Social relations consideration had a positive effects on psychological pleasure, self-satisfaction, and tool of transformation. Internal consideration had a positive effect on self-satisfaction and tool of transformation, and a negative effect on psychological pleasure. External consideration had positive effects on all four factors of make-up attitude. 2) In the post-80s participants, social relations consideration and external consideration had positive effects on all four factors of make-up attitude. Internal consideration s had a negative effect on consciousness of others and a positive effect on tool of transformation. In the post-90s participants, social relations consideration had positive effects on psychological pleasure, self-satisfaction, and tool of transformation. Internal consideration had positive effects on psychological pleasure and self-satisfaction.

Выготский: между социокультурным релятивизмом и историческим материализмом. От психологической перспективы — к педагогической

In this paper I draw a distinction between two strands of argument that have evolved in the wake of Vygotsky’s early 20th century writing. I examine key methodological differences between sociocultural relativism and historical materialism. I then consider the pedagogical implications of these differences. My concern is that the all too common western predeliction for a post modern account yields a deeply conservative approach to pedagogy. In this form pedagogy may loose its power as a tool of social transformation and may curtail the possibilities for individual transformation. I close with a quote which neatly captures this concern: “Methodology is not a "toolbox" of different methods from which the researcher selects some on the basis of personal or social preferences! Instead, it is an integrated structure of the epistemological process (Branco & Valsiner, 1997) that can equally and easily reveal and obscure the empirical reality in the knowledge construction process of social scientists”.

From Literati to Modern Teachers: The Identity Transformation of the Educated Elites in Early Twentieth-Century China

This article focuses on how part of traditional educated literati transformed into modern teachers. It argues that teachers’ schools became a tool of social transformation that recast surplus officials and old literati into public resources as educators and professional teachers. It was teachers’ schools that provided a considerable number of individuals who were trained for imperial civil service examinations with a new and independent identity, and supplied the state more manpower for the expansion of its educational activities than it ever had before in twentieth-century China.

Temporal Dimensions of Social Change in Sustainable Communities

This article offers a macrohistory perspective on sociocultural change to reveal a wide spectrum of diverse approaches to time across cultures and history. The Causal Layered Analysis explores three distinct concepts of time: the cyclic, linear, and eternal views of time. The cyclic concept of time was dominant in tribal groups of primitive communism in the Palaeolithic period, and linear time is intrinsic to the goal-oriented late capitalist era. As a reaction to the accelerating pace of life in the twentieth century, a slow living movement develops in various models of sustainable communities. Thus, a changed worldview and a different approach to time can be observed in emerging alternative cultures. The case study of Damanhur, a sustainable community promoting time travel as a tool of cultural transformation, provides an example of a transmodern culture embracing eternal time. The path of evolution of the concept of time across history was established through literature, as well as by empirical evidence of select examples. Thus, the hypothesis that social change can be traced by observing culture-dependent approaches to time through history has been confirmed. The analysis of the changing concept of time across historic dimensions revealed sociocultural implications of the current linear concept, as well as indicated emerging changes of consciousness reflected in novel ways of regarding time and space, as a function of alternative futures.

Involving the Child in the Management of Science Museums: A Tool of Social Transformation

ABSTRACTThe participation of children in the management of science museums, following the theoretical approach of psychologist and educator Francesco Tonucci, is an effective tool both for the improvement at an internal level of the organization itself and for the implementation of a series of significant changes in the child’s most immediate environment – school and family. This article explains the experience developed in this sense in the Museu de les Ciències Príncep Felipe through its Board of Children.

Big Data as a Driving Tool of Digital Transformation

As a result of this research, it was discovered how Big Data is characterized by the five Vs: Velocity, Volume, Variety, Veracity, and Value; and how Hadoop and other tools, in conjunction with distributed computing capacity, are utilized to meet the needs of Big Data. The research defines the abilities necessary to analyze Big Data, as well as the method of Data Mining and how it generates results, and it also includes recommendations. Physicians may use data science to give the best care possible for their patients, and meteorologists can use it to anticipate the scope of local meteorological occurrences. Data science can even be used to predict natural disasters such as earthquakes and tornadoes. Capturing data is an excellent way for businesses to begin their data science journeys. They can begin evaluating the data as soon as they obtain it. Here are some examples of how people produce data and how corporations such as Netflix, Amazon, United Parcel Service (UPS), Google, and Apple exploit the data generated by their customers and workers. When a Data Science project is completed, the final output should be used to communicate new information and insights gained from the data analysis to important decision-makers.
