Liberating the open and distance learning model from the chains of oppressive education theories by Mackenzie Ishmael Chibambo, Joseph Jinja Divala, Aggripa Chingombe

“…This study argues that open and distance learning (ODL) continues to function as a platform for producing factory-like workers and white-collar laborers whose primary function is to serve the capitalist labor market. The study draws on Bowles and Gintis’ correspondence theory, as well as the Factory Education Model (FEM), and the Industrialized Teaching Model (ITEM) by Otto Peters, as theoretical propositions to explain how schooling contexts and the hidden curriculum prepare students the interests of employers (capitalists) and the powerful elites of modern society. …”

Establishment of Sensory Evaluation Method for Wolfberry Tea and Exploration of the Main Characteristic Aroma Substances by Yuanchao LI, Qinji LI, Yuqiong GUO, Zhilong HAO, Shan JIN

“…To establish the sensory evaluation method for wolfberry tea made from wolfberry buds and leaves, sensory evaluation experiments were designed with multi-variables, including brewing time and tea amount, by using two brewing methods with covered bowl and column cup, respectively. Based on the physicochemical methods and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technology, the difference of taste and aroma substances between buds and leaves of wolfberry tea, were analyzed, and the main characteristic aroma compounds of wolfberry tea were explored. …”

Coarse Particle Motion Characteristics in a Double-Stage Slurry Pump Considering Leakage Flow by Hao Jia, Yuqi Wang, Zuchao Zhu, Xianghui Su, Zhenji Tang

“…In the nonleak situation, although the increment of the average kinetic energy of particles through the impeller is more significant than in the leak case, most of them dissipate primarily by more than 10% collision in the bowl diffuser. In the leak or nonleak case, the average kinetic energy of particles was more than twice through the first stage but only 1.1 times through the second stage. …”

Rudy Kelly’s Eyes: Chris Hedges and Joe Sacco’s Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt by Øyvind Vågnes

“…At first sight Chris Hedges and Joe Sacco’s Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt belongs solidly in the same tradition as books such as James Agee and Walker Evans’s classic Let Us Now Praise Famous Men (1941), which grew out of an assignment in 1936 to produce a magazine article on the conditions sharecropper families in the South lived under during the “Dust Bowl,” as well as William T. Vollmann’s 2007 book Poor People.Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt describes the predicament of the rapidly growing underclass in the States, victims of corporate capitalism in what Hedges refers to as “sacrifice zones,” areas that have been offered up for exploitation in the name of profit. …”

Approximate solution of plastic zone in surrounding rock under three-dimensional stress field based on Drucker-Prager strength criterion by LIU Hongtao, LIANG Jialu, HAN Zijun, LIU Qinyu, QIAO Zhongjin

“…Results show that ① Variations in horizontal stress exerts significant impact on the plastic zone morphology of roadway surrounding rock: too high or too low horizontal stress will lead to a butterfly-shaped expansion in the roadway surrounding rock. ② Variations in axial pressure has little effect on the plastic zone shape of roadway surrounding rock, yet exerts major influence on the plastic zone size of surrounding rock: under the same horizontal stress, different axial stress will lead to a bowl-shaped development in the plastic zone size of surrounding rock. …”
