Evaluation of a permissible roadbed thawing depth in permafrost

Roadbed thermal conditions in permafrost are subject to seasonal changes affecting roadway resilience. A roadbed thawing depth is important for road base processing, especially in permafrost. This research had the purpose of evaluation of a permissible roadbed thawing depth based on the Biot number reflecting general thermal resistance of roadbed layers. These results will contribute to understanding road bed thermal resistance and selection of roadway construction materials.

قياس اتجاه معنى العمل في إطار محدداته: بحث مقارن لآراء أعضاء الهيئة التدريسية في جامعتي ديالى والأنبار

The research aims to measure the meaning and direction of the work Adopting the triple model that he developed by (Rozin and Schwartz, 1997). which is represented by the dimension: (Job, Career, Callings). And then measuring its impact on the performance of the operations it performs and building the meaning of the work among the faculty members at the Iraqi universities of Diyala and Anbar, and a nine-point scale was adopted for the purpose of evaluation, in addition to adopting ten criteria to classify the work of 80 faculty members in the two research communities. It is represented in: (commitment to work, work motives, work ethics, goal of work, work proficiency, job satisfaction, work relationships, work participation, centralization of work, and work value). The directional and statistical inferential measures were adopted, which showed that the faculty members in the two universities were within the category of the Callings dimension of work, which affected their performance Positively, as well as the absence of significant differences in the answers of the two universities, which in light of which a set of recommendations were presented, which it is hoped will benefit. Including those involved.

Potential of blockchain approach on development and security of microbial databases

Approaches developed based on the blockchain concept can provides a framework for the realization of open science. The traditional centralized way of data collection and curation is a labor-intensive work that is often not updated. The fundamental contribution of developing blockchain format of microbial databases includes: 1. Scavenging the sparse data from different strain database; 2. Tracing a specific thread of access for the purpose of evaluation or even the forensic; 3. Mapping the microbial species diversity; 4. Enrichment of the taxonomic database with the biotechnological applications of the strains and 5. Data sharing with the transparent way of precedent recognition. The plausible applications of constructing microbial databases using blockchain technology is proposed in this paper. Nevertheless, the current challenges and constraints in the development of microbial databases using the blockchain module are discussed in this paper. Graphical Abstract

Type of settlement as a determinant of marital and reproductive behaviour of young people

The paper explores the importance of the type of settlement for marital and reproductive behaviour of young people. More specifically, it examines the differences in the evaluation and practice of certain forms of marital and reproductive behaviour between young people living in different types of settlements. The data were collected with the aid of quantitative techniques like surveys and scaling. The research was conducted in the region of Southern and Eastern Serbia. The quota sample consisted of the total of 500 respondents, aged from 15 to 35 years. The results of the research show that the type of settlement is an important determinant, but more for the purpose of evaluation than for practising certain models of marital and reproductive behaviour of young people. Young people living in villages are more loyal to the traditional values in terms of marriage and parenthood, while young people living in the city tend to embrace modern values. However, practice shows that rural youth, besides maintaining traditional patterns of behaviour, also manifests certain deviations from them (like postponement of marriage and parenthood, reduced reproductive norms, cohabitation and out-of-wedlock parenting).

Train Sideswipe Accidents and Passengers’ Injury

Train sideswipe accidents happen when two trains are traveling next to each other in the same or opposite directions and their sides come into contact. In most cases the relative velocity between the trains is very low. In these accidents, standing passengers might lose their balance, fall and impact with objects in their surroundings. Also, in extreme cases seated passenger might be ejected from their seat and get injured by impacting hard objects like handles and edges. These falls are caused by the acceleration and jerk exerted on the passengers during the impact. The train Event Data Recorder (EDR) does not record the train’s acceleration during the collision, as common in vehicle’s EDR, but provides only velocity information that is sampled in very low rate. To determine acceleration and jerk, train’s velocity is extracted from the train Event Data Recorder (EDR) and is used to estimate their value in order for the purpose of evaluation of the severity of the accident. The analysis of actual data extracted from an EDR of a train, that was that was involved in sideswipe accident is presented and compared to current standards. The results indicate that a standing person in case might lose his balance and fall. This results was verified since the two conductors who were walking along the isle lost their balance, fell and were injured feel and injure.

Avaliação e aprendizagem: percepção de graduandas e graduandos em Economia em uma universidade pública / Evaluation and learning: Economics undergraduate students perception in a public university

Neste artigo apresentamos a temática da avaliação, a partir da análise de um processo investigativo junto a estudantes de economia, de uma universidade pública, em que se reflete sobre a percepção que estes graduandos têm sobre avaliação e aprendizagem. O estudo caracteriza-se como uma pesquisa qualitativa, a investigação foi desenvolvida com trinta estudantes que estão no 6° semestre e os dados produzidos a partir de um questionário, com perguntas fechadas e abertas, foram analisados a partir da Análise Textual Discursiva, de Moraes e Galiazzi (2016). A pesquisa apresenta como aporte teórico algumas ideias de autores como Cid e Fialho (2012), Fernandes (2005), Pacheco (2012), Santiago (2012), William (2009), entre outros. Por meio deste estudo, evidenciamos que a maioria dos estudantes considera que o principal propósito da avaliação é de medir o seu desempenho e na atribuição de uma classificação, revelando pouco interesse na qualidade da aprendizagem, o que na concepção dos participantes é o mais importante.Palavras-chave: Avaliação; Aprendizagem; Metacognição. ABSTRACT: In this article the topic evaluation is presented, through the analysis of an investigative process with economics’ students, from a public university, in which we reflect about the perception these graduates have on evaluation and learning. The study is characterized as a qualitative research, the investigation was developed with thirty students who are in the 6th semester and the data produced through a questionnaire, with closed-ended and open-ended questions, were analyzed through the Discursive Textual Analysis, from Moraes and Galiazzi (2016). The research presents as theoretical contributions some ideas from authors as Cid & Fialho (2012), Fernandes (2005), Pacheco (2012), Santiago (2012), William (2009), among others. Through this study, it’s evident that most of the students consider the main purpose of evaluation to be measuring their performance and attributing a classification, revealing little interest in the learning quality, which in the participants’ conception it’s the most important.Keywords: Assessment; Learning; Metacognition.

A Study on the Application of Coordinated TOPSIS in Evaluation of Robotics Academic Journals

While TOPSIS is a widely used evaluation method, it lacks evaluation from the perspective of indicator coordination. Based on the analysis of TOPSIS evaluation methods, this paper proposes a new assessment method, coordinated TOPSIS, which takes into account the advantages of TOPSIS evaluation methods and the coordination level of evaluation indicators. Taking the robotics academic journals as an example, the TOPSIS evaluation and the coordinated TOPSIS evaluation results are compared. The research shows that the weights of the coordinated TOPSIS method can be manually adjusted according to the purpose of evaluation and have a good flexibility; the TOPSIS evaluation results and coordinated TOPSIS evaluation results have a high degree of correlation, but the difference from the perspective of the ranking is big; the coordinated TOPSIS is very suitable for evaluation field that needs to consider the coordinated development, and it can be replicated.
