Abstract:
I am very happy indeed to contribute to this series of lectures, especially because I owe most of my training in philosophy to Elizabeth Anscombe, whose work has given the series its name. I am deeply indebted to the marvellous generosity of her teaching, to the example she set me of an unrelentingly thorough and serious thinker, to the unobtrusive way she introduced me to Wittgenstein's later philosophy. Through Elizabeth Anscombe I also made the acquaintance of my friend Philippa Foot, whose work in moral philosophy has, over decades and more than anyone else's, influenced my own. I hope it will be possible to recognize in what I am going to say here not indeed the excellence but at least traces of the beneficial influence of both these philosophers.

Abstract:
It is generally assumed that visible actors in the performing arts industry maintain overall wellness despite the knowledge that an actor’s life is often characterized by instability. While an actor’s performance is often critiqued subjectively and critically, the variety of occupational risks associated with an actor’s well-being is less closely examined. Prior research suggests those working within the acting profession experience significant levels of distress. As a result, this article, first, aims to address the issues confronting the actor, in particular, anxiety associated with erratic employment, vulnerability to adverse working conditions, and conflict in identity owing to the impact of acting coupled with the effect of economic insecurity. Second, the paper follows with a consideration of key counselling theories to help strengthen this diverse group’s personal well-being and career prospects. By examining counselling interventions, the application of these theories can allow actors to develop optimally in acting industries worldwide.

Abstract:
In the last three decades, emotional labor has been conceptualized as comprising three strategies, namely, surface acting, deep acting, and expression of naturally felt emotion. Research suggested that each emotional labor strategy relates differently to various health and job outcomes, such as burnout and job satisfaction. These findings and the conclusions drawn are predicated on compartmentalized treatment of the three strategies. A fundamental yet unresolved question concerns whether employees adopt more than one type of emotional labor in the workplace. In this study, we adopted latent profile analysis (LPA) to examine the behavioral profile (i.e., class) of employees’ deployment of emotional labor strategies and how these profiles relate to job satisfaction and burnout. Three latent classes were identified, and the results showed that employees with these different profiles reported significantly different levels of job satisfaction and burnout. These results provide support to a person-centered approach to understand the outcomes of performing emotional labor.

Abstract:
The size of the zone of wave action on the formation is determined when the sucker rod pump is operated with a rocker-type drive. An axisymmetric fluid flow to a well is considered against the depression permanently acting on a stratum of infinite length. Reversion of fluid flow influences on the change in nature of the rock wettability in vicinity of well. This change stimulates increasing its production rate. The results of experiments on a flat laboratory stratum model are presented.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the performances which have earned Sir lan McKellen a reputation as one of the foremost Shakespearean actors of the day. His reputation has been built on five major performances: Richard II, Macbeth, Coriolanus, lago and Richard III. His performances as Hamlet, Romeo, Leontes and Kent were only limited successes. This thesis places McKellen's performances in these roles in the specific context of the production as a whole. Where it is relevant it assesses the significance of the casting of other roles, the influence of the personality, style and interests of the director, the policy of the theatre company and the impact of the performance space. This thesis identifies patterns in McKellen's work determined by his own personality and sexuality, the Cambridge education he shares with Sir Peter Hall, John Barton and Trevor Nunn, and his relationships with other actors. The Introduction considers the characteristics of a McKellen Shakespeare performance and assesses the importance of his intellectual approach to the text. It looks at how his sexuality has influenced his performances. His devotion to touring is also highlighted. Chapter 1 concentrates on the Shakespeare roles McKellen played early on in his career. Chapter 2 is devoted to McKellen's celebrated performance as Richard II. Chapter 3 examines McKellen's interpretation of Hamlet. Chapter 4 looks at his performance as Edgar in the Actors' Company's King Lear and his taking over the role of The Bastard in the Royal Shakespeare Company's King John. Chapter 5 considers his performance as Romeo and chapter 6 his interpretation of Leontes. The success of McKellen's portrayal of Macbeth is scrutinised in Chapter 7, and his Sir Toby Belch in a touring production is also examined. Chapter 8 assesses the strengths and weaknesses of his performance as Coriolanus at the National Theatre. His NCO lago is explored in Chapter 9. Chapter 10 looks at the difficulties McKellen confronted when playing Kent and Chapter 11 the success of his portrayal of Richard III.

Abstract:
Many existing deep-well water pumping technologies that are affordable to developing world smallholders suffer from reliability issues, low efficiency and/or expensive running costs. The Double-Acting Hydraulic Ram Pump (DAHR) has the potential to address these problems. An evolution of the classic hydraulic ram pump that converts kinetic energy from free-flowing water sources into a reduced flow at a much higher head, the DAHR contains virtually no moving parts or dynamic seals. The result is a deep-lift technology that can be both highly efficient and extremely reliable. This thesis investigates the potential of the DAHR, taking an initial proof-of-concept rig to a design that is ready for outdoor field trials. The beta prototype design process has been aided considerably by the development of a suite of numerical models. Like the conventional hydraulic ram, the DAHR has clearly defined acceleration and delivery phases either side of an impact event. The fluid motion during acceleration is modelled using a 1D lumped element approach whereas the delivery phase modelling is based on the shock equations for both compression and rarefaction waves. Unlike the conventional hydraulic ram, the DAHR makes full use of the kinetic energy downstream of the impact. The numerical results facilitate the selection of drive pipe diameter, inlet/delivery valves and the choice of pipe material via the resulting sound speed. A 15 m tall test facility housed within a three storey public stairwell was set up to help simulate pumping from deep underground. The DAHR sitting in a tank at the bottom would lift water to the top of the stairwell before it was returned under gravity to complete the circuit. The driving power input to create the low pressure, high volume oscillatory flow within the DAHR U-tube is provided by two custom-made pneumatic fluidynes. The data acquired over several weeks of testing with three different plastic drive pipe materials required an automated post-processing routine capable of analysing DAHR performance impact-by-impact. Computed efficiencies of up to 75 percent were achieved while pumping 350 L/h at 32 m head. Experimental observations also showed good agreement with numerical modelling. A single-acting design, capable of fitting down a smaller borehole, was considered as an alternative way forward. A further prototype, with the second drive pipe replaced by a gas spring, was designed, built and tested in the same facility. The prototype proved substantially more difficult to control and estimated efficiency was approximately half that of the DAHR validating the original double-acting approach.

Abstract:
Human Resource personnel as part of their daily jobs provide a service to other employees within a mining industry. These service workers may experience dissonance between their actual feelings and the feelings they are expected to display. For these service workers to be more engaged at work, emotional intelligence and social support is vital. If these factors are not in place, their well-being may be in jeopardy. The objective of this research was to determine the relationship between Emotion Work, Emotional Intelligence, Well-being and Social Support of service workers in a human resource field within a mining industry. A cross-sectional survey design was used. The study population (n = 229) consisted of human resource personnel in the Limpopo and North West Province. The Greek Emotional Intelligence Scale (GEIS), Frankfurt Emotion Work Scales, Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, Oldenburg Burnout Inventory and Social Support Scale, as well as a biographical questionnaire, were used as measuring instruments. Cronbach alpha coefficients, factor analysis, inter-item correlation coefficients, Pearson product moment correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression analysis were used to analyse the data. An analysis of the data indicated that correlations between the following constructs are statistically and practically significant. The results show that Positive Display is statistically and positively practically significantly related (medium effect) to Interaction Control. Caring/Empathy is positively practically significantly related to Positive Display (medium effect). Furthermore the Control of Emotions (medium effect) and Emotion Management (large effect) are both positively practically significantly related to Caring/Empathy. Emotional Resilience however is negatively practically significantly related to Caring and Empathy (medium effect). Emotion Expression Recognition is positively practically significantly related to Control of Emotion (medium effect). However, both Exhaustion (medium effect) and Emotional Resilience (medium effect) are negatively practically significantly related to Control of Emotions. Engagement is positively practically significant (medium effect) to Emotion Management. Emotion Resilience (medium effect) positively correlates with Exhaustion while Engagement (medium effect) negatively correlates with Exhaustion. Engagement positively practically correlates with Resilience (medium effect). Social Support of both supervisor and co-workers positively relates to engagement to a medium effect. Principal component analysis performed on the GEIS resulted in a four-factor solution. The first factor was Caring and Empathy, which includes the willingness of an individual to help other people and understand others' feelings. The second factor was Control of Emotion, which is the ability of the individual to control and regulate emotions within themselves and others. Emotion Expression/Recognition, which is the ability of the individual to express and recognise his or her own emotional reactions, was the third factor, and the fourth was Emotion Management, which is the ability of an individual to process emotional information with regard to perception, assimilation, understanding and management of emotions. All four factors correlate with that of the GEIS originally developed by Tsaousis (2007) and accounted for 31% of the total variance in emotional intelligence. A Multiple Regression Analysis with Exhaustion as dependent variable was carried out. The results show that Emotion Work factors accounted for 2% of the total variance and Emotional Intelligence factors for 12% of the total variance. More specifically it seems that the lack of Caring and Empathy and Emotion Management predicted Exhaustion in this regard. However, when Emotional Intelligence factors were entered into the model, an increase of 10% variance was shown of the variance explained in Exhaustion. Emotion Work, Emotional Intelligence and Social Support predicted 14% of the variance explained in the level of Exhaustion by participants. A Multiple Regression analysis with Emotional Resilience as dependent variable was carried out. The results show that Emotion Work factors accounted for 6% of the total variance. More specifically; it seems that Dissonance predicted the level of Emotional Resilience. When Emotional Intelligence factors were entered into the model, an increase of 15% was shown. Caring and Empathy and Control of Emotions predicted Emotional Intelligence the best. Lastly, when Social Support factors were entered into the regression analysis, the variance explained showed an increase of 5%. Support of Family and Others predicted Emotional Resilience the best. In total, Emotion Work, Emotional Intelligence and Social Support factors explained 20% of the variance in Emotional Resilience. A Multiple Regression Analysis with Engagement as dependent variable with Emotion Work factors, Emotional Intelligence factors and Social Support as predictors of Engagement was done. Entry of Emotion Work factors at the first step of the regression analysis did not produce a statistically significant model and only accounted for 1% of the variance. However, when Emotional Intelligence factors were entered in the second step of the analysis, it accounted for approximately 7% of the variance. More specifically, it seems that Caring and Empathy predicted Engagement. When Social Support factors were entered into the third step of the analysis, an increase of 27% was found. All the Social Support factors (Social Support of Family and Others, Supervisors and Co-workers) accounted for 27% of the variance explained in Engagement. Emotion Work, Emotional Intelligence and Social Support predicted 33% of the total variance explained in the level of Engagement. Limitations within the study were identified, and recommendations were made for human resource personnel in a mining industry, as well as for future research.

Abstract:
Demand for healthcare services is rising dramatically as the proportion of older adults in the United States increases, and the success of these healthcare organizations depends on cooperation among patients, doctors, and nurses. These interpersonal interactions come with costs associated with managing one's emotions in ways that are in line with completing job tasks effectively, especially as past research has demonstrated that nurses are likely to experience and respond to incivility, and nurses of minority backgrounds even moreso. This study examines the effect of experiencing incivility on engaging in surface acting, or simulating emotions that are not actually felt; how these two factors influence well-being outcomes; and the impact of racial differences in these relationships. A sample of 100 Black and White nurses participated in this research. Results indicate that experiencing incivility increases emotional exhaustion both directly and indirectly through engaging in surface acting in response to incivility. Additionally, findings suggest that Black nurses are more likely than White nurses to experience incivility from other nurses. These results highlight how incivility can contribute to burnout and negative health outcomes and that this effect may be particularly salient among Black nurses.

Abstract:
Frontline client service workers are central to the service elements of any small and medium enterprise. People who have much customer or client contact are seen to be subject to stronger emotional display rules. These display rules may result in compromising the psychological and/or physical health of workers, because they often lead to a disturbing dissonance between felt emotions and the emotions one must exhibit. It is, therefore, of vital importance for service workers to exhibit Emotional Intelligence, which will enable them to manage both their own emotions and their interactions with other people. Their inability to do so may result in stress as well as physical and emotional exhaustion, also known as Burnout. The objective of this research was to determine the relationship between Emotion Work, Emotional Intelligence, Well-being and Social Support of client service workers within small and medium enterprises, A cross-sectional survey design was used. An availability sample was taken from small and medium enterprises employing client service workers in the Mpumalanga Province (N = 145). The Greek Emotional Intelligence Scale (GEIS), Frankfurt Emotion Work Scales (FEWS), Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES), Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI) and Social Support Scale, as well as a biographical questionnaire were used as measuring instruments. Cronbach alpha coefficients, factor analysis, inter-item correlation coefficients, Pearson product moment correlation coefficients, stepwise multiple regression analysis, and Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) were used to analyse the data. Principal component analysis resulted in a one-factor solution for Engagement labelled Work Engagement, and a two factor solution for Burnout namely: Disengagement and Emotional Exhaustion. Regarding Social Support, a three factor model was extracted namely; Social Support - Co-worker, Social Support -Supervisor and Social Support - Family. A three factor model was extracted for Emotion Work namely: Emotional Dissonance, Display of Client Care and Extent of Client Interaction. A four-factor solution was extracted for Emotional Intelligence namely: Emotional Expression/Recognition, Use of Emotions to Facilitate Thinking, Control of Emotion as well as Caring and Empathy. An analysis of the data indicated that all of the correlations between the different constructs mentioned below are statistically and practically significant, Disengagement was positively related to Emotional Exhaustion and negatively related to Emotional Expression/Recognition, Emotion Use to Facilitate Thinking and Work Engagement. Emotional Exhaustion was positively related to Emotional Dissonance and negatively related to Emotional Expression/Recognition. Emotional Dissonance was positively related to Display of Client Care, while Display of Client Care was positively related to Extent of Client Interaction, as well as Caring and Empathy. Emotional Expression/Recognition was positively related to both Emotion Use to Facilitate Thinking and Work Engagement. Emotion Control was positively related to Emotion Use to Facilitate Thinking, while it in turn was positively related to Work Engagement. Finally, Social Support from Co-workers was positively related to Social Support from Supervisors and Family, and Social Support from Supervisors was positively related to Social Support from Family. A multiple regression analysis indicated that Emotion Work, Social Support and Emotional Intelligence predicted 29% of the variance in Work Engagement, 30% of the variance explained in Disengagement and 37% of the variance in Emotional Exhaustion. A multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) which was used to determine differences between the departmental, age, race, qualification, language and gender groups with regard to Emotion Work, Emotional Intelligence, Well-being and Burnout, indicated no statistical significant differences (p < 0,05). The results indicated a correlation between Emotional Intelligence, Emotion Work and Well-being factors. Emotional Intelligence factors predicted Work Engagement and Emotion Work predicted Emotional Exhaustion. Recommendations were made for the profession of client service work in small and medium enterprises, as well as for future research purposes.

Abstract:
L’objectif de cette thèse était de définir et de circonscrire le concept de consonance dissonance éthique pour in fine concevoir et valider une échelle de mesure de la consonance dissonance éthique au travail. L’éthique s’impose dans les organisations où, elle participe à la régulation des de l‘activité des professionnels du secteur médico-social. Ce travail porte majoritairement sur les salariés de ce secteur. L’éthique est un concept particulier que nous interrogeons au travers du prisme de la théorie de la dissonance cognitive de Festinger (1982). Nous avons réalisé une phase exploratoire qui a permis de circonscrire le concept de dissonance éthique (Barkan, Ayal et Ariely, 2015 ; Cherré et al., 2014, en alliant une méthodologie qualitative par l’Analyse Phénoménologique Interprétative avec une démarche quantitative par enquête sur les connaissances en éthique et une analyse des représentations sociales de l’éthique dans le secteur médico-social. Lors de cette phase, le questionnaire de positionnement éthique de Forsyth (1989) a été validé en français sur une population de salariés du secteur médico-social pour fournir une référence de contrôle lors de la validation nomologique de l’échelle de consonance dissonance éthique. L’analyse factorielle exploratoire a mis une évidence une structure à deux facteurs, d’une part, une dimension consonance dissonance éthique et d’autre part une dimension « Bien Agir ». Nous avons confirmé cette structure duale lors de l’analyse factorielle confirmatoire. L’analyse par la procédure d’échelle de Mokken (1971) a validé l’indépendance structurelle des deux échelles. L‘étude de validation nomologique, nous a amené à confronter l’échelle de dissonance éthique et l’échelle du Bien Agir à trois concepts majeurs de la psychologie du travail, d’épuisement professionnel, la dépression et l’intention de quitter. Nous avons fait l’hypothèse d’un effet médiateur de l’échelle de dissonance entre ces concepts et l’engagement et l’adéquation au poste (PjFIT), à l’organisation (PoFIT) Les résultats ont mise en évidence des effets de médiations de la dissonance éthique associée à un effet médiateur antagoniste du Bien Agir. L’effet modérateur de l’estime de Soi sur la médiation par la dissonance éthique a été significatif pour la dépression. Les validations ont permis de confirmer au travers de trois échantillons distincts la stabilité de l’échelle de dissonance éthique, les résultats pour l’échelle ce bien agir sont satisfaisants et doivent être peaufiné. Ce travail doit également nous amener à réfléchir sur la place que l’on doit accorder à la compétence éthique dans les cursus de formation et dans la formation continue tant elle peut être une source de souffrance pour ces professionnels
The aims of this thesis was to create and validate a scale of ethical dissonance at work. Ethics is essential in organizations, where it participates in the regulation of the activity of professionals in the medico-social sector. This work mainly concerns employees in this sector. Ethics is a concept that we examine through the prism of Festinger's (1982) theory of cognitive dissonance. An exploratory phase combining a qualitative methodology by means of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis with a quantitative approach, by a survey of knowledge in ethics, then by an analysis of the social representations of ethics in the medico-social sector, has made it possible to circumscribe the concept of ethical dissonance (Barkan, 2015; Cherré et al., 2014). During this phase, Forsyth's (1989) ethical positioning questionnaire was validated in French on a population of medico-social sector employees to provide a control reference during the nomological validation of the ethical dissonance consonance scale. Exploratory factorial analysis revealed a two-factor structure, on the one hand, an ethical dissonance consonance dimension and, on the other hand, a "Well Acting" dimension. We confirmed this dual structure during the confirmatory factor analysis. Analysis using Mokken's (1971) scale procedure validated the structural independence of the two scales. The nomological validation study led us to compare the Ethical Dissonance scale and the Well Acting scale with three major concepts in occupational psychology: burnout, depression and intention to leave. We hypothesized a mediating effect of the dissonance scale between these concepts and commitment and suitability for the position (PjFIT), the organization (PoFIT). The results highlighted the mediating effects of ethical dissonance associated with an antagonistic mediating effect of the Well Acting. The moderating effect of self-esteem on ethical dissonance mediation was significant for depression. Validations confirmed the stability of the ethical dissonance scale in three separate samples, the results for the ethical dissonance scale are satisfactory and need to be refined. This work should also lead us to reflect on the place that should be given to ethical competence in training courses and in continuing education, as it can be a source of suffering these professionals

Abstract:
AbstractIn this article, we examine the constructive democratic practices of young climate activists and their views on how democracy should be improved. We study how the youth climate movement is expressing utopias of democracy. Utopias are thought to be central to imagining more just societies. Furthermore, they enable critical analysis of existing social structures and have a special function in surpassing dystopian reality. For young activists, living well refers to preserving a planet that can sustain decent and eco-socially just conditions for all. These conditions are endangered by the current way of life. According to our results, acting together is a source of hope. Besides criticising the current status quo, young people have combined everyday activism with efforts to influence decision-makers. Furthermore, they argue that while democracy is the best platform to approach the eco-crisis in a just manner, democracy needs improvement. The analysis is based on multi-sited ethnography and 18 interviews, gathered during 2020. Our emphasis is on the young as agents, not as recipients or objects of education. Analysis combines theoretical educational perspectives, which emphasise the significance of utopian thinking, with empirical youth research.

Abstract:
Abstract Verifying relations between programs arises as a task in various verification contexts such as optimizing transformations, relating new versions of programs with older versions (regression verification), and noninterference. However, relational verification for programs acting on dynamically allocated mutable state is not well supported by existing tools, which provide a high level of automation at the cost of restricting the programs considered. Auto-active tools, on the other hand, require more user interaction but enable verification of a broader class of programs. This article presents WhyRel, a tool for the auto-active verification of relational properties of pointer programs based on relational region logic. WhyRel is evaluated through verification case studies, relying on SMT solvers orchestrated by the Why3 platform on which it builds. Case studies include establishing representation independence of ADTs, showing noninterference, and challenge problems from recent literature.

Abstract:
Abstract Philosophers wishing to understand moral judgments typically focus their attention upon the evaluative or normative predicates that these judgments employ.¹ How is the peculiar force of such predicates to be understood? What are the criteria for their application? I propose to come at matters from another direction. What are the objects of evaluation in this or that sort of judgment? To what do our evaluative or normative predicates apply? The guiding idea behind the inquiry is that we cannot properly understand evaluations of a given sort unless we know what they are evaluations of. Modes of evaluation must suit their objects. Of course one might think that it’s generally pretty obvious what’s being evaluated. In what follows I hope to show that this is not so, and that the question what’s being evaluated has significant consequences for moral theory.

Abstract:
Abstract Environmental protection and safety considerations have always been a concern for the operators, manufacturers, and service companies who are involved in the exploration and production of hydrocarbons. Unfortunately however, while the regulatory standards have become more stringent, the general economic climate has declined, causing a difficult struggle for operators when attempting to maintain economic feasibility between supporting safety and environmental concerns and operational efficiency. This struggle is complicated by aging fields which, though still producing, are beyond their peak producing years. This paper will discuss a method that was used by a major Asian Operator and a producer of oilfield equipment to develop a new direct-acting fail-safe safety system for existing equipment that could support current operational safety requirements as well as provide a cost-effective alternative to replacing the entire system. This joint effort resulted in development of a low-pressure, pneumatic-override, spring-closed, direct-acting actuator with two fail-closed systems that was able to provide a low-cost solution to the problem. Also covered will be the interaction between the operator and manufacturer that was needed to tailor the system to meet the specific requirements for ease of installation, ease of maintenance, and protection of personnel and the environment within the designated cost constraints. Additionally, the pros and cons of such a system and the cost considerations when comparing these double fail-safe direct-acting systems to revamping an existing field with conventional reverse acting safety systems will be provided.

Abstract:
Abstract One of the major guide in achieving a prolong oil production is the accurate description of the reservoir system. This description is essential in all aspects of petroleum engineering and is achievable through reservoir characterization by analytical models based on dimensionless pressures and derivative distribution of two interfering horizontal and vertical wells in an infinite acting isotropic reservoir. In this work, the Gringarten Model and solution to the dimensionless diffusivity equation using Laplace transform and modified Bessel equation is utilized in deriving a solution to the problem of interference testing of an active horizontal well in the presence of an active vertical well located in an infinite acting isotropic reservoir. The Excel and Python software were deployed to compute dimensionless pressures and derivative by the use of superposition principle. Larger magnitudes of dimensionless pressure and derivative would indicate higher oil production for any well design. The work investigates the effects of separation distance between active and observation wells, well lengths and wellbore radius on the pressure response at the observation well. The influence of the number of active wells, Locations and timing of activities of active wells on the pressure response at the observation well has also been investigated. The results obtained from this work can be applied in well placement and spacing decisions during field development as well as in understanding the positive or adverse effects caused by nearby wells during well tests.

Abstract:
In this report, we present preliminary results on a light modulator based on the Quantum Confined Stark Effect (QCSE)1 but for the first time operating all-optically. The principle of operation of the device is as follows: every period of the heterostructure contains three quantum wells (QWs) designed in such a way that following above band-gap photoexcitation a large fraction of the photogenerated electrons and holes tend to separate and accumulate in the exterior QWs, creating a local space-charge field having its maximum in the region in between and acting via the QCSE on the exciton resonance of the central QW.

Abstract:
Abstract Mechanical pipe cutters are an increasingly attractive option for intervention and plug and abandonment (P&A) campaigns due to their simplicity, ease of deployment, and reduced risk of stored energy inherent in traditional energized pipe cutters. Limitations of current mechanical cutter designs include small expansion ratios, challenges to cut pipe under compressive load, and limited surface readouts that require expertise to interpret. A mechanical tubing cutter has been developed that seeks to address these challenges and limitations. The robust mechanical design in the new cutter features a high expansion ratio with the ability to cut in tension, neutral weight, or compression, including multiple cuts per descent. Critical surface readouts have been incorporated to provide a fuller understanding of the cut and well response. Fully automated cutting algorithms, which minimize user interaction, have been programmed into the service to provide an active, torque-controlled cut that optimizes penetration and delivers consistency in performance. The cutter is designed as a modular addition to a full intervention solution family to offer combinable, multiobjective descents with a light wellsite footprint. This new cutter has been deployed successfully by several operators to enhance well production and to successfully execute P&A scopes where other solutions were unfavorable or financially untenable. Two case studies illustrate the application of features such as the downhole sensors, automated algorithms, and expansion ratio and show how these features are central to achieving a successful cut. This tubing cutter design expands the utility of mechanical cutters to target pipe that was previously inaccessible due to restrictions or unforeseen tubing deformation. In addition, the cutter reduces the risk of cutting complications stemming from compressive and torsional forces acting on downhole targets. Downhole automation enhances cutting reliability through reactive torque control, programmed stall recovery, and real-time response to changes in cutting conditions.

Abstract:
We have studied quantum well (QW) laser diodes grown with a pair of Bragg reflectors acting as cladding layers. The high reflectance band of each Bragg structure is designed to be spectrally coincident with the spontaneous emission of the QW, while the resonance of the Fabry–Perot etalon consisting of the two Bragg reflectors is outside the high reflection band of each Bragg reflector and the spontaneous emission band of the QW. In such a structure, spontaneous emission normal to the laser cavity is inhibited because of the lack of modes at the corresponding wavelengths, and therefore the threshold current should be reduced.

Abstract:
Abstract The accumulation of rock cuttings, proppant, and other solid debris in the wellbore due to inadequate cleanout remarkably impedes field operations. This article presents a new hole cleaning model, which calculates the Critical Transport Velocity (CTV) in conventional and fibrous fluids. The study is aimed to establish an accurate mechanistic model for optimizing wellbore cleanout in horizontal and inclined wells. The new CTV model is established to predict the initiation of bed particle movement during cleanout operations. The model is formulated considering the impact of fiber using a special drag coefficient (i.e. fiber drag coefficient), which represents the mechanical and hydrodynamic actions of suspended fiber particles and their network. The dominant forces acting on a single bed particle are considered to develop the model. Furthermore, to enhance the precision of the model, recently developed hydraulic correlations are employed to compute the average bed shear stress, which is required to determine the CTV. In horizontal and highly deviated wells, the wellbore geometry is often eccentric, resulting in the formation of flow stagnant zones that are difficult to clean. The bed shear stress in these zones is sensitive to the bed thickness. The existing wellbore cleanout models do not account for the variation in bed shear stress. Thus, their accuracy is limited when stagnant zones are formed. The new model addresses this problem by incorporating hydraulic correlations to account for bed shear stress variation with bed height. The accuracy of the new model is validated with published measurements and compared with the precision of an existing model. The use of fiber drag and bed shear stress correlations has improved model accuracy and aided in capturing the contribution of fiber in improving wellbore cleanout. As a result, for fibrous and conventional fluids, the predictions of the new model have demonstrated good agreement with experimental measurements and provided better predictions than the existing model. Model predictions show a noticeable reduction in fluid circulation rate due to the addition of a small quantity of fiber (0.04% w/w) in the fluid. In addition, results show that the existing model over predicts the cleaning performance of both conventional and fibrous fluids.

Abstract:
This research aimed to study the effect of awareness on the acceptability of human papillomavirus vaccination with belief acting as a moderator between the two variables. Quantitative research was conducted in a hospital with a specific focus on gynecological operations and family planning. The method of data collection comprised of a questionnaire, which was filled out by 50 women from various religious and cultural backgrounds. SPSS was used to conduct statistical analysis. The univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses indicated that the results were not conclusive with the hypothesis. The participants had no pre-existing information regarding vaccinations and the knowledge of the diseases being studied as opposed to the hypothesis. This research brings focus towards a deeply neglected area of reproductive healthcare in Pakistan. This includes a lack of awareness amongst the population regarding HPV. Lack of concrete and accurate knowledge directly affects the amount of awareness present in Pakistan regarding HPV, which is close to zero, as indicated by this study. This absence of awareness means that we, as healthcare practitioners, cannot research the current topic and expect it to produce any conclusive results.

Abstract:
This report is based on the discussion that emerged from a convening of a panel of 22 experts in artificial intelligence (AI) and in learning. It introduces three layers that can frame the meaning of AI for educators. First, AI can be seen as “computational intelligence” and capability can be brought to bear on educational challenges as an additional resource to an educator’s abilities and strengths. Second, AI brings specific, exciting new capabilities to computing, including sensing, recognizing patterns, representing knowledge, making and acting on plans, and supporting naturalistic interactions with people. Third, AI can be used as a toolkit to enable us to imagine, study, and discuss futures for learning that don’t exist today. Experts voiced the opinion that the most impactful uses of AI in education have not yet been invented. The report enumerates important strengths and weaknesses of AI, as well as the respective opportunities and barriers to applying AI to learning. Through discussions among experts about these layers, we observed new design concepts for using AI in learning. The panel also made seven recommendations for future research priorities.

Abstract:
This Table is a compilation of experimental measurements of static electric quadrupole moments of ground states and excited states of atomic nuclei throughout the periodic table. To aid identification of the states, their excitation energy, half-life, spin and parity are given, along with a brief indication of the method and any reference standard used in the particular measurement. Experimental data from all quadrupole moment measurements actually provide a value of the product of the moment and the electric field gradient (EFG) acting at the nucleus. Knowledge of the EFG is thus necessary to extract the quadrupole moment. A single recommended value of the moment is given for each state, based, for each element, wherever possible, upon a standard reference moment for a nuclear state of that element studied in a situation in which the electric field gradient has been well calculated. For several elements one or more subsidiary reference EFG/moment references are required and their use is specified. The literature search covers the period to April 2021.

Abstract:
Stress corrosion cracking of line pipe from the soil side involves slow crack growth at stresses which may be as low as half the yield strength, this slow crack growth continuing until the crack penetrates the wall to produce a leak or until the stress intensity on the uncracked ligament reaches the value for a fast fracture to penetrate the wall thickness. The controlling parameters that contribute to the mechanism of failure, essentially involving growth by dissolution in the grain boundary regions, are, as with other systems displaying such failure, electrochemical, mechanical, and metallurgical, acting conjointly. Electrochemical influences relate to environment composition, potential, and its variation under disbonded coatings and temperature, whilst mechanical factors of significance include pressure variations, and their time dependence, as well as maximum pressure. Metallurgical parameters, whilst not yet fully understood, including those aspects of steel composition and structure that influence grain boundary composition and the microplasticity associated with load changes, as well as surface condition, e.g. the presence or otherwise of mill scale. These controlling parameters indicate the remedial measures available for control of the problem, although some, for practical or economic reasons, are not invariably applicable. Thus, control by metallurgical approaches or through coatings or manipulation of the surface conditions is only applicable to future lines, but for those already in existence lowering the temperature, limiting pressure fluctuations and more precise control of cathodic protection should help alleviate the problem.

Abstract:
High temperature stress is of major concern to turkey producers in Israel and the United States. The decline in the rate of egg production at high environmental temperature is well recognized, but the neuroendocrinological basis is not understood. Our objectives were: 1) to characterize the hypothalamo-hypophyseal axis involvement in the mechanism(s) underlying the detrimental effect of heat stress on reproduction, and 2) to establish procedures that alleviate the damaging effect of heat stress on reproduction. Heat stress (40oC, Israel; 32oC, U.S.) caused significant reduction in egg production, which was restored by VIP immunoneutralization. The decline in egg production did not appear to be entirely related to the expression of incubation behavior due to the rise in circulating PRL in stressed birds. Heat stress was found to increase circulating PRL in ovariectomized turkeys independent of the reproductive stage. Active immunization against VIP was shown for the first time to up-regulate LHb and FSHb subunit mRNA contents. These findings taken together with the results that the heat stress-induced decline in egg production may not be dependent upon the reproductive stage, lead to the suggestion that the detrimental effect of heat stress on reproductive performance may be in part mediated by VIP acting directly on the GnRH/gonadotropin system. Inhibin (INH) immunoneutralization has been shown to enhance FSH secretion and induces ovulation in mammals. It is hypothesized that immunization of heat-stressed turkeys against INH will increase levels of circulating FSH and the number of preovulating follicles which leads to improved reproductive performance. We have cloned and expressed turkey INH-a and INH-bA. Active immunization of turkey hens with rtINH-a increased pituitary FSH-b subunit mRNA and the number of non-graded preovulatory yellow follicles, but no significant increase in egg production was observed.
