Development and Investigation of Hybrid Knitted Structures for Sensorial Comfort Properties. Part I - Tuck Stitches

ABSTRACT Sensorial evaluation plays an important role in the identification of materials in addition to technical specifications for the wearer. The current study focuses on the development of different hybrid knitted structures with different percentages of knit stitches and tuck. Hundred percent cotton was used to develop unique structures on the 4-cam track single jersey knitting machine. A total of 15 hybrid weft knitted structures are developed with different combinations of knit and tuck stitch percentages. The effects of different amount of knit and tuck stitches on physical parameters, e.g. area density, stitch density, and thickness, were characterized. Sensorial comfort, e.g. resilience, softness, smoothness, drape, and wrinkle recovery rate, were evaluated with the standard test method. After testing and data analysis, it was concluded that percentages of stitch types have a significant effect on the physical parameters and sensorial comfort properties of the fabrics.
PROFILE OF MILLENIAL WOMAN IN POOR HOUSEHOLDS IN SULAWESI UTARA PROVINCE

Gender issues among millennials require more focused data-based handling. Especially if this issue is developed within the framework of reducing regional poverty. However, there has been no quantitative analysis that dissects millennial gender data in the poverty framework in more depth. This study aims to obtain more in-depth information about the profile of millennial woman in poor households Using secondary data from the SUSENAS data collection, BPS in 2021 as many as 8,536 respondents spread across all regencies/cities in Sulawesi Utara. Quantitative descriptive analysis was carried out on the millennial generation group variables, gender and poverty variables. The results of the study show that the majority of millennial woman in poor households who are involved in the world of work enter the informal sector. Only a small proportion are included in the formal sector, and even then only as lower-class workers. The government can use the results of this analysis to formulate policies that defend millennial woman in the socio-economic life of society.
Simulating the Passive Neutron and Gamma Signatures of Containerized Nuclear Warheads for Disarmament Verification

Abstract For nuclear disarmament verification, measuring passive neutron and gamma signatures is discussed for confirming the presence of weapons-grade plutonium. Using the Geant4 code, the effects of neutron and photon interactions with the various materials of containerized items are explored for (i) notional fission and thermonuclear warheads waiting for dismantlement, (ii) intentionally shielded plutonium in a scrap container. Due to strong neutronic linking of the various warhead materials neutron multiplicity measurements can not be expected to give correct results. Gamma emissions of the plutonium may even be completely shielded by a tamper. Gamma spectrometry could verify the presence of explosives from (n,γ) activation of hydrogen and nitrogen as well as of fission processes from their prompt fission gamma emissions. Limiting diameters of scrap containers together with long-time gamma measurements of the absence of photons produced by (n,γ) activation of shielding materials will provide an effective approach for detecting an intentional diversion of plutonium.
GERMINAÇÃO DE SEMENTES DE Mimosa caesalpiniifolia Benth. (SANSÃO-DO-CAMPO) SOB DIFERENTES CONDIÇÕES DE TEMPERATURA, LUZ E UMIDADE

Mimosa caesalpiniifolia (Fabaceae) é uma espécie arbórea característica da caatinga, nativa da região Nordeste brasileira. Neste trabalho foram realizados dois experimentos. No primeiro experimento foi estudado o efeito da coloração das sementes (verde e marrom) e da temperatura para a germinação (25, 30 e 20-30 ºC). No segundo experimento foi estudado o efeito do volume de água destilada adicionado ao substrato (45, 60 e 75 mL) e da qualidade de luz (ausência de luz e luz dos espectros branco, vermelho e vermelho-extremo), na germinação das sementes de coloração verde submetidas a 30 ºC. Os testes de germinação foram conduzidos sob fotoperíodo de 8 h, utilizando 30 g de vermiculita como substrato, e tiveram a duração de 14 dias. Foram avaliados a porcentagem final e o índice de velocidade de germinação das sementes. Os resultados obtidos no primeiro experimento mostraram que as sementes de coloração verde são de melhor qualidade fisiológica e que a temperatura de 30 ºC foi a mais adequada para a germinação. Os resultados obtidos no segundo experimento mostraram que: (a) as sementes de coloração verde são fotoblásticas positivas preferenciais; (b) o teste de germinação pode ser conduzido sob luz branca, em substrato umedecido com 75 mL de água, e (c) os resultados obtidos permitem supor que, em condições naturais, as sementes sejam capazes de germinar tanto a pleno sol (luz do espectro vermelho) como sob luz filtrada pela vegetação (espectro vermelho-extremo).
Effect of Boundary Layer Roll Vortices on the Development of an Axisymmetric Tropical Cyclone

AbstractIn this study, the authors numerically investigate the response of an axisymmetric tropical cyclone (TC) vortex to the vertical fluxes of momentum, heat, and moisture induced by roll vortices (rolls) in the boundary layer. To represent the vertical fluxes induced by rolls, a two-dimensional high-resolution Single-Grid Roll-Resolving Model (SRM) is embedded at multiple horizontal grid points in the mesoscale COAMPS for Tropical Cyclones (COAMPS-TC) model domain. Idealized experiments are conducted with the SRM embedded within 3 times the radius of maximum wind of an axisymmetric TC. The results indicate that the rolls induce changes in the boundary layer wind distribution and cause a moderate (approximately 15%) increase in the TC intensification rate by increasing the boundary layer convergence in the eyewall region and induce more active eyewall convection. The numerical experiments also suggest that the roll-induced tangential momentum flux is most important in contributing to the TC intensifica.
Riser VIV Analysis By a CFD Approach

In this paper, we present a CFD approach for riser vortex induced vibration (VIV) analysis in uniform current. The riser has a L/D of 1400, and is partitioned into 30 segments with uniform current specified on each segment. The drag and lift coefficients of each segment are then calculated using an unsteady Navier-Stokes numerical method on an overset (Chimera) grid system. These drag and lift coefficients are assembled to determine the riser displacements for each riser segment. The riser motion equation is expressed through riser modal shape superposition, and integrated in time domain by using Runge-Kutta scheme. At each time step the data grids for each riser segment are updated according to the riser’s instantaneous displacements. The predicted riser VIV results are compared to the experimental data and previous publications. General agreements are observed. It is concluded that the present numerical method is valid and effective for riser VIV prediction.
Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue and Anticancer Response of In2O3/RGO Nanocomposites Prepared by a Microwave-Assisted Hydrothermal Synthesis Process

The incorporation of graphene with metal oxide has been widely explored in various fields, including energy storage devices, optical applications, biomedical applications, and water remediation. This research aimed to assess the impact of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) doping on the photocatalytic and anticancer properties of In2O3 nanoparticles. Pure and In2O3/RGO nanocomposites were effectively synthesized using the single-step microwave hydrothermal process. XRD, TEM, SEM, EDX, XPS, Raman, UV–Vis, and PL spectroscopy were carefully utilized to characterize the prepared samples. XRD data showed that synthesized In2O3 nanoparticles had high crystallinity with a decreased crystal size after RGO doping. TEM and SEM images revealed that the In2O3 NPs were spherical and uniformly embedded onto the surface of RGO sheets. Elemental analysis of In2O3/RGO NC confirmed the presence of In, O, and C without impurities. Raman analysis indicated the successful fabrication of In2O3 onto the RGO surface. Uv–Vis analysis showed that the band gap energy was changed with RGO addition. Raman spectra confirmed that In2O3 nanoparticles were successfully anchored onto the RGO sheet. PL results indicated that the prepared In2O3/RGO NCs can be applied to enhance photocatalytic activity and biomedical applications. In the degradation experiment, In2O3/RGO NCs exhibited superior photocatalytic activity compared to that of pure In2O3. The degradation efficiency of In2O3/RGO NCs for MB dye was up to 90%. Biological data revealed that the cytotoxicity effect of In2O3/RGO NCs was higher than In2O3 NPs in human colorectal (HCT116) and liver (HepG2) cancer cells. Importantly, the In2O3/RGO NCs exhibited better biocompatibility against human normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). All the results suggest that RGO addition improves the photocatalytic and anticancer activity of In2O3 NPs. This study highlights the potential of In2O3/RGO NCs as an efficient photocatalyst and therapeutic material for water remediation and biomedicine.
Intentional teaching for visual arts in Early Childhood Education: teachers’ practices and perceptions

The early childhood sector in New Zealand has a long-held tradition of free play and child-led pedagogy, influencing visual arts approaches with young children. However, alongside learning through play, New Zealand’s sociocultural curriculum highlights the active role of the teacher and intentional pedagogy. This article explores the practices and perceptions of early childhood teachers regarding visual arts through a mixed methods study, including a nationwide survey and an embedded case study. Data indicated that teachers are confused about the appropriateness of taking an active role during children’s visual arts learning, and about when to be intentional versus leaving children to play without interference. Such tensions appear to be founded in contradictory theoretical assumptions, and are evident through a lack of confidence, skills, strategies and language for teaching. The authors argue that professional learning could ameliorate these tensions by clarifying educational theories and identifying intentional visual arts teaching practices that align with current theoretical beliefs about how young children learn in early childhood.
Cognitive Normal Older Adults with APOE-2 Allele Show a Distinctive Functional Connectivity Pattern in Response to Cerebral Aβ Deposition

The ε2 allele of apolipoprotein E (ε2) has neuroprotective effects against beta-amyloid (Aβ) pathology in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, its impact on the functional connectivity and hub efficiency in cognitively normal older adults (CN) with ε2 is unclear. We investigated the functional connectivity differences in the default mode network (DMN), salience network, and central executive network (CEN) between A-PET-negative (N = 29) and A-PET-positive (N = 15) CNs with ε2/ε2 or ε2/ε3 genotypes. The A-PET-positive CNs exhibited a lower anterior DMN functional connectivity, higher posterior DMN functional connectivity, and increased CEN functional connectivity compared to the A-PET-negative CNs. Cerebral Aβ retention was negatively correlated with anterior DMN functional connectivity and positively correlated with posterior DMN and anterior CEN functional connectivity. A graph theory analysis showed that the A-PET-positive CNs displayed a higher betweenness centrality in the middle frontal gyrus (left) and medial fronto-parietal regions (left). The betweenness centrality in the middle frontal gyrus (left) was positively correlated with Aβ retention. Our findings reveal a reversed anterior–posterior dissociation in the DMN functional connectivity and heightened CEN functional connectivity in A-PET-positive CNs with ε2. Hub efficiencies, measured by betweenness centrality, were increased in the DMN and CEN of the A-PET-positive CNs with ε2. These results suggest unique functional connectivity responses to Aβ pathology in CN individuals with ε2.
Will democracy support switching from targeting to universalism?

Abstract This paper takes advantage of Ide, Furuichi, and Miyazaki’s policy proposal to present a theoretic framework for analyzing the likelihood that a democratic society will support moving social policies from targeting to universal access. The main finding is that the proposed transition to universalism will likely increase Japan’s already substantial fiscal deficit and that it will appease social cleavages only if the psychological feeling of equal treatment is large enough to compensate the poor citizen’s utility loss. However, if the equal-treatment feeling is not high enough, then both the poor and the middle class will be dissatisfied with the transition proposal, which will not gather social support.
Entrepreneurship Education: Encouraging Entrepreneurial Intentions for Equality Education Students in Semarang

This study aimed to determine the factors that influence students' entrepreneurial intentions and the influence of entrepreneurship education on students' intention to become entrepreneurs. This research study used a mixed methods approach. The collection of research data was carried out with the help of a questionnaire (for quantitative data) and through group discussion forums (for qualitative data). Respondents in the study were 100 students who attended equality education in Semarang. This shows found there is a difference between the levels of interest of students who take part in entrepreneurship learning and those who do not. Family background and income have positive effects on students' intentions to become entrepreneurs. Students with entrepreneurial family backgrounds tend to be more interested in becoming entrepreneurs than students who do not have an entrepreneurial family background. In addition, students' perspectives on entrepreneurship positively affected their entrepreneurial intentions. Significance: Students' perspectives on entrepreneurship are related to their motivation to start new businesses that would be easily accepted by the social environment. All respondents agreed that entrepreneurial intentions could be improved through the role of entrepreneurship education during inequality education. To ensure the education is more targeted and all entrepreneurship education goals are achieved, it should have more effective curricula, methods, and learning system models. Cooperation between all elements incorporated in the entrepreneurship education system is indispensable for generating successful young entrepreneurs through entrepreneurship education.
Network modelling for sexually transmitted diseases

The aim of this thesis is to propose suitable mathematical models for the analysis of sexually transmitted disease epidemics. We are interested in a closed population, where infections are only transmitted through heterosexual contacts. The population is hence divided into two groups: male and female. Individuals are classified according to gender, relationship and disease status. Both stochastic and deterministic SIS models are employed. The stochastic models are formulated in terms of a Markov process with a finite state space. Two main models are constructed and quantities of interest such as the basic reproduction number and endemic level of the sexually transmitted disease (STD) are obtained. The first model is formulated to describe dynamics of STDs, where the sexual behaviour is considered “faithful”. By being faithful, we mean individuals are monogamous, and there are no casual sexual contacts (one-night stands). The early stages of the epidemic are approximated by a 2-type branching process. This allows us to compute the following quantities of interest, the threshold parameter (R0) and the probability of extinction. In order to study the endemic level, it is helpful to use the deterministic (ODE) approximation of the stochastic SIS epidemic. The behaviour about the endemic equilibrium is studied using an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. Stochastic simulations are utilised to obtain the mean time to extinction. The second model is an extension of the first model, where casual sexual contacts (one - night stands) are included in the model. The model is again a Markov process but its analysis is more involved. A key difference is now a 5 type branching process is used to approximate the initial stages of the epidemic, to determine the threshold parameter (R0) and the probability of extinction. Other quantities of interest are studied through similar approaches. Medication use is studied as a control measure in this thesis. We introduce a new parameter (v) governing the medication use into both models. Throughout we study the effect of the control strategies on the key quantities of interest highlighted above.

Preventing and Managing Radial Artery Occlusion following Transradial Procedures: Strategies and Considerations

Τransradial artery access has recently gained widespread acceptance as the preferred approach for coronary angiography and interventions, due to its lower incidence of bleeding and vascular complications compared to transfemoral access. However, thrombotic occlusion of the radial artery has emerged as the most common complication of this method, impeding its use in future interventions, and in the creation of arteriovenous fistulae for hemodialysis patients, or as a graft for coronary artery bypasses grafting. In this comprehensive review, we delve into the anatomy of the radial artery, the pathophysiology and diagnosis of radial artery occlusion, the identification of potential risk factors and, finally, prevention and treatment strategies. We acknowledge that distal transradial access provides an effective alternative for coronary angiography and catheterizations, with a reduced incidence of radial artery occlusion.
