Published: February 2024

Understanding a real shear-thickening fluid (STF) flowing through channel is essential in developing soft body armour applications. A real shear thickening fluid has a combination of parts-wise Newtonian, shear thinning and shear thickening regions in the viscosity-shear rate plot. The Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM), a mesoscopic simulation, is employed in a D2Q9 framework to study the flow characteristics of a real shear thickening fluid. To validate the results, we compared the numerical and analytical results obtained for fluid flow with a combination of power-law fluids with shear thickening and shear thinning behaviour, which are characterized by different power-law indexes. The effect of stress and strain rate on fluid flow has been studied. Next, we have also extended the above model to see the characteristics of the flow properties of a real shear thickening fluid having three distinct regions of Newtonian, shear thinning, and shear thickening in the viscosity-shear rate plot and discussed the results using the Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) and with a theoretical model. We find that for the low shear rates, the Newtonian flow rate dominates, and as we keep increasing the shear rate through increasing, the thinning behaviors start to dominate, followed by the thickening phenomenon of the flow. We also find that initially, the flow begins with the Newtonian flow, and as we increase the channel height, the thinning flow starts to dominate, and for larger height channels, the thickening flow of real STF dominates.

Published: February 2024

We reported a Pd/NBE cooperative catalyzed ortho C−H methylation and trideuteromethylation of arylthianthrenium salts, enabling the efficient synthesis of a wide variety of (trideutero)methylated arenes in moderate to good yields. The method demonstrates excel-lent tolerance towards functional groups, scalability, and potential extension to the late-stage functionalization of biorelevant mole-cules. In combined with C−H thianthrenation of arenes, this approach provides an effective method for the site-selective C−H (trideutero)methylation of arenes. Additionally, this reaction represents the first example of a Catellani reaction involving aryl sul-fonium salts.

Published: February 2024

The discharge of excessive phosphorous into water bodies can lead to serious eutrophication threatening aquatic ecosystem. Membrane capacitive deionization (MCDI) is an effective platform for deionizing aqueous streams; however, conventional MCDI is unable to selectively remove targeted ions from a liquid mixture. In this work, we fabricated manganese oxide composite anion exchange membranes (AEMs) for MCDI to enhance phosphate removal selectivity from sodium chloride-sodium dihydrogen phosphate (10:1 molar ratio) aqueous mixtures. We systematically investigated several critical factors, such as constant current or voltage operation, applied voltage amount, process stream pH, and manganese oxide content in the AEM, on phosphate removal efficiency and phosphate selectivity. A trade-off was observed between phosphate removal and selectivity when increasing the cell voltage. Under the best conditions, an MCDI unit with a 20 wt% Mn2O3 composite AEM and a bipolar membrane facilitated high phosphate removal efficiency of ≥ 31.8 % and a phosphate over chloride selectivity of 1.1 while showing stability for at least 30 cycles. To help understand how manganese oxide particles boost AEM selectivity, static electronic structure calculations were performed, and they revelated that hydrogen phosphate absorption on Mn2O3 composite AEM was 314 kcal/mol more exothermic than that on pristine AEM while chloride adsorption on Mn2O3 composite AEM was 2.2 kcal/mol less exothermic than that on a pristine AEM. Overall, this work presents an effective strategy for selectively removing phosphate from model wastewater solutions and the mechanistic understanding that governs ion selectivity in composite ion-exchange membranes used in MCDI.
Probing the flow- and magnetic-field-induced orientation of cellulose nanocrystals and magnetic nanoparticles via wide-angle X-ray scattering

Published: February 2024

We investigated the flow- and magnetic-field-induced orientation of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) suspensions, pure and loaded with magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles, using a custom-built flow cell placed in the D1 beamline of the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source. 2D wide-angle X-ray scattering (2D-WAXS) was used to quantify the direction and degree of orientation of the CNC suspensions under Poiseuille flow. We observed that the pure CNC suspensions and those with 1wt% Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) exhibited very strong orientation along the flow direction. The CNC suspensions doped with higher concentrations of Fe3O4 NPs, 3wt%, showed different director-orientation patterns: isotropic, along the direction of flow, and bimodal. For these suspensions, the alignment along the flow direction occurs only at the highest values of apparent shear rates (60 s-1 and 100 s-1) in the absence of magnetic field. Conversely, under the action of the magnetic field, the induced alignment along the flow occurs at low apparent shear rates, as low as 10 s-1. We anticipate that these responsive effects, to flow and to magnetic fields, may offer new approaches to tailor and understand the behavior of composite materials with magnetic anisotropic responses. It is also hoped that further development of our exploratory work will translate these findings into new processing methods for the manufacturing of magnetically responsive composite materials.
Immersive visualization for ecosystem services analysis and trade-offs
Authors:   , Powley Benjamin
Published: February 2024

Changing land use to improve one ecosystem service can affect other ecosystem services, so a potential land use change should be analysed before implementation. Land use analysts using existing ecosystem services modelling software, and users of the results of ecosystem services analysis identified problems with modelling tools applied to ecosystem services analysis. A User Centred Design process was adopted in this study, to design and implement an immersive Virtual Reality (VR) visualization system, Immersive ESS Visualizer. Immersive ESS Visualizer was designed, and implemented for users of differing levels of geospatial expertise, to assist with visualization and analysis of ecosystem services data. Features include multiple handheld maps, a scenario map, layers, filters, zoom, and navigation by gliding. Handheld maps allowed users to create layouts with multiple maps for comparison. A user study was performed to compare the effectiveness of Immersive ESS Visualizer to existing media, a 2D screen and paper maps. The user study investigated the effectiveness of Immersive ESS Visualizer for communication to a stakeholder. The most highly ranked features of Immersive ESS Visualizer included the file list, tab menus, handheld map, and zoom buttons. The study found that Zoom assisted participants with their comparison of data in VR, Immersive ESS Visualizer was good for inspecting hillshade, placing maps side-by-side was useful for comparing data, and participants adopted 3D positioning techniques to arrange maps to assist their analysis. Participant expertise was classified based on VR expertise, data expertise, map expertise, location expertise, and spatial technology expertise. Participants with more VR expertise found Immersive ESS Visualizer more effective. Participants had positive responses to their experiences communicating with the researcher while using VR, the zoom feature. The laser pointer and the facilitator’s 2D screen assisted participants to communicate while in the VR HMD. Immersive ESS Visualizer could potentially be extended to other datasets, the features available could be extended into a multi-user system.
A Mad Reading of Janet Frame’s Madness Narratives Faces in the Water and An Autobiography
Authors:   , L. Taggart Sarah
Published: February 2024

The critical component of my thesis focuses on two works by Janet Frame: Faces in the Water and An Autobiography.

My critical research is situated in the emerging field of mad studies and examines the literary treatment of the lived experience of madness and psychiatrisation. Mad studies has a simple premise: the study of madness should include the mad perspective—let the mad speak of themselves. Mad is a broad term that includes anyone who is “mentally ill,” a psychiatric survivor, a psychiatric consumer, or who identifies as mad. Madness narratives, including the two texts by Janet Frame mentioned above, invite readers inside the walls of psychiatry as well asinside the experience of madness itself. However, few studies to date have focused on these narratives from the perspective of those who live with a psychiatric illness, or those who identify as mad.

This thesis argues that the Frame scholarship tends to uphold ableist and sanist notions of mad literature. Further, the biographical research on Frame often treats the author’s psychiatric history as good material for a writer who is sane, rather than formative, educative, or the foundation for a life informed by the state of being a psychiatric survivor. My research addresses these gaps by studying Frame’s madness narratives and her life through the lens of mad studies. My project builds on the pioneering mad studies work of scholars such as PhebeAnn Wolframe and Bren LeFrançois, and critically engages with Janet Frame scholars such as Jan Cronin, Sylvie Gambaudo, Susan Schwartz, and Mark Williams. By drawing on my own experience of forced psychiatrisation and living with madness, I locate mad realities that have thus far gone unacknowledged in these texts and I consider the following questions: what insights can we gain by approaching Janet Frame’s mad narratives—and the scholarship on those works—from a perspective that not only acknowledges but indeed privileges the author’s lived experience of psychiatric incarceration? And in so doing, can we counter claims that language cannot capture madness and the mad experience?

A method for optimizing design and geometric parameters using a "simplified" simulation of the water-cooling process is presented. This method allows solving the issues of operational manufacturability in the aspect of creating energy- and resource-saving constructions of water storage tanks. In the study to determine the size of underground and above-ground parts of the water storage tank the criterion of heat loss minimization is accepted and the mathematical model of water heat exchange with the ground under the condition of its homogeneity and stationarity of the thermal regime is compiled. The relationship between the height and the radius of the underground part at the minimum value of the heat transfer coefficient from water to the ground through the metal wall is established. Using the heat balance equation, an analytical expression is found that determines the aboveground fluid temperature for any instant of time. On the basis of the theory of differential calculus the condition of minimality of the cooling rate of water, which gives up heat through the side walls to the environment and air space under the roof of the vessel, was revealed, which made possible to optimize the size of its above-ground part. The relationship of the radius and the total volume of the water holding capacity was determined for the average values of ambient temperature and wind speed recorded in the region of the research. The developed algorithm of the method of "simplified" modeling and its representation in the form of a block diagram can be implemented at digitalization of calculation-analytical procedures for selection of structural and geometrical parameters of the vessel according to the criterion of minimum heat losses. The functions of the radius and the height of the underground and above-ground parts of the vessel from the argument of its total volume are graphically illustrated.
Effect of soil conditions on the state of tree plantations in the green zone of Astana

Published: February 2024

Creation and maintenance of a green zone around the capital of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Astana, is complicated not only by sharply continental climate, but also by soil salinity. In this regard, plants characterized by resistance to drought, frost and soil salinity are chosen for landscaping of these areas. Avoiding or minimizing the impact of negative consequences of afforestation of saline areas can be achieved by understanding the mechanisms by which forest trees and shrubs are able to survive in such conditions. The purpose of the study was to investigate the salt content in the soil under forest crops in the green zone of the Astana city and their influence on the condition of woody plants. The objects of the study were artificial plantations of the dwarf elm and maple ash planted in 2015. The main research method used was the establishment of sample plots in healthy, weakened and dead plantations. Maple ash was found to be more tolerant to higher salt content in soil than the dwarf elm. It was found that high content of toxic ions and low concentration of cations in the soil are related to the condition of crops, with more toxic type of salinization prevailing in the areas with weakened and dead plantations. According to the research results, it can be seen that the soil of healthy plots is characterized by a higher content of Ca2+, Mg2+ and Na+ cations than the soil of the weakened plantations. HCO3–, Сl– and SO4 2– anions are present in significant amounts in the soil under weakened crops, and the content of НСО3– ions is much higher in the areas with dead trees, which may be one of the reasons for severe soil salinization and vegetation death. It was also determined that sulfate-chloride-hydrocarbonate salinization and magnesium-calcium chemistry with toxicity greater than 0.17 mg-eq НСО3– negatively affected plant health. Sulfate-chloride type of salinization prevails on the healthy plots, in the weakened and dead plantations – the more toxic sulfate-chloride-hydrocarbonate type is found.

One of the most popular techniques for preserving fruits and vegetables is drying. Many drying methods have advantages and disadvantages. The purpose of this study was to optimize the hot air drying conditions of a novel variety of purple-fleshed potato with response surface method (RSM) by considering the duration of the steaming process applied before drying, slice thickness, and drying temperature. The optimum drying conditions were determined by analyses such as total phenolic compound, antioxidant activity, chroma, and starch ratio in purple-fleshed potato powders obtained as a result of drying by considering different drying temperatures (55, 65, 75 °C), steam blanching times (2, 5, 8 min) and slice thickness (2, 4, 6 mm). Following optimization, it was discovered that the drying temperature, slice thickness, and steam blanching time were, respectively, 55 °C, 5.80 mm, and 4 minutes. Consequently, the generated product experiences reduced discoloration, quality loss, and reduction of bioactive components.

Published: February 2024

Gagavuz Türkleri günümüzde Moldova Cumhuriyetine bağlı özerk Gagauziya Cumhuriyeti başta olmak üzere Ukrayna, Romanya, Bulgaristan ve Yunanistan topraklarında yaşayan bir Türk topluluğudur. Gagavuz ya da kendi tabirleriyle Gagauzlar, konuştukları dil itibariyle Türk dilinin Oğuz grubuna mensupturlar. Zengin bir halk edebiyatına sahip oldukları bilinen Gagavuz Türklerine ait sözlü edebiyat numuneleri, son yüz yıllık periyod dâhilinde, yaşadıkları ülkelerde neşredilmeye başlamıştır. Halk masalları, şiirler, tekerlemeler, ninniler, bilmeceler gibi anonim eserler haricinde Nikolay Baboğlu, Dimitri Karaçoban, Dionis Tanasoğlu, Todur Zanet ve daha birçok şair ve yazara ait telif eserler de Gagavuz edebiyatını zenginleştirmiştir. Türkiye Türkçesine çok yakın olan Gagavuz Türkçesinin Anadolu sahası Türk halk edebiyatından farklı olarak, Hıristiyan inancını yansıtan bazı halk edebiyatı örneklerini barındırdığını söylemekte fayda vardır. Sovyetler Birliği döneminde Ukrayna’nın başkenti Kiev’de 1990 yılında Stepan Kelar tarafından yayımlanan “Oglan Hem Mari Kız” (Oğlan ile Mari Kız) masalı da bunlardan biridir. Masalda, diğer Türk masallarıyla içerik olarak ortak unsurlar olmakla birlikte, kahramanlarının kilisede evlenmeleri Gagavuzların sahip oldukları inancı da bize hatırlatmaktadır. Çalışmamızda Kiril harfli bu masalın Gagavuz Latin alfabesine yazı çevrimi ve modern Türkiye Türkçesine aktarımı gerçekleştirilmiş, ayrıca eserimize ait söz varlığı da “sözlük” bölümünde okuyucuya sunulmuştur.

UMKM “Jamu Pojok Bangka” merupakan salah satu industri rumah tangga yang memasok jamu keliling di Jember. Akan tetapi, sebagian besar jamu masih dijual dengan menggunakan botol bekas AMDK tanpa penambahan label yang tentunya tidak terjamin kesehatannya dan kurang menarik konsumen. Pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan pendampingan terkait pengemasan dan pelabelan yang sesuai standar, sehingga dapat menjamin keamanan produk jamu dan dapat meningkatkan daya saing ekonomi. Pengabdian dilakukan dengan dua metode yaitu ceramah dan pelatihan. Metode ceramah dilakukan di awal untuk memberikan pemahaman terkait bagaimana pengemasan produk yang baik. Selanjutnya metode pelatihan dilakukan terkait proses produksi,  pemilihan kemasan, proses pengemasan, serta desain pelabelan. Pendampingan telah dilakukan selama 6 bulan. Pada proses produksi dilakukan perubahan layout sehingga lebih efektif dan minim kontaminasi. Pemilihan kemasan dibedakan menjadi dua macam berdasarkan perbedaan metode penjualan, yaitu menggunakan kemasan kaca atau plastik HDPE ukuran 1,5 L untuk penjualan keliling yang diecer kembali dengan gelas serta menggunakan plastik PET ukuran 250 mL yang disertai label untuk penjualan eceran. Pengujian daya tarik konsumen dilakukan dengan membandingkan hasil penjualan jamu menggunakan kemasan lama dan kemasan baru. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa kemasan baru lebih diminati konsumen dibandingkan kemasan lama. Berdasarkan survey diketahui bahwa produk dengan kemasan dan label baru lebih disukai konsumen karena lebih menarik, aman, dan informatif.

Bullying merupakan kasus problematik di lingkungan sekolah, dan biasanya tindakan perundungan ini dilakukan oleh teman sebaya, yang melibatkan tindak kekerasan fisik maupun psikis. Tindakan ini terjadi karena adanya dorongan untuk meraih dan mempertahankan status sosial yang tinggi di lingkungan teman sebaya. Dampak bullying bisa berupa gangguan fisik hingga psikis. Ada beberapa kebijakan terkait anti bullying, namun hal tersebut tidak bisa meminimalisir kasus yang telah terjadi. Selain kebijakan, upaya preventif juga perlu dilakukan dan diimplementasikan untuk mencegah perilaku bullying, salah satunya melalui penanaman nilai multikultural pada siswa SMA di Kota Mataram. Oleh karena itu kegiatan pemberdayaan melalui sosialisasi nilai-nilai multikultural ini kami inisiasi sebagai salah satu bentuk upaya preventif untuk meminimalisir tindak perundungan di kalangan siswa pada sekolah menengah atas. Kegiatan pengabdian ini dilaksanakan melalui sosialisasi dengan berdiskusi secara langsung dimulai dari presentasi materi, tanya-jawab, diskusi, dan evaluasi. Hasil kuesioner sebelum dilakukan pengabdian menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan siswa di sekolah menengah atas Kota Mataram mengenai bullying hanya 31,8% siswa yang mengetahui bentuk-bentuk bullying, sementara 68,2% siswa tidak mengetahui bentuk-bentuk bullying. Terkait pemahaman multikulturalisme, persentase siswa sekolah menengah atas di Kota Mataram yang mengetahui hanya 50.1%, sementara sisanya 49.9.% tidak mengetahui pemahaman mengenai multikulturalisme. Selain itu bahwa 100% dari siswa di SMA Kota Mataram belum pernah mengikuti sosialisasi nilai-nilai multikultural, dan sebanyak 59.1% siswa belum pernah mengikuti sosialisasi terkait bullying, sementara 40,9% siswa sudah pernah mengikuti sosialisasi mengenai pencegahan bullying.

Published: February 2024

Medan City, as the center of the Deli Malay Sultanate and the colonial administration in the past, boasts numerous iconic forms. The distinctive characteristics of these iconic forms hold significant potential for development as references in creating contextual texture painting art. Unfortunately, this potential remains largely unexplored. Therefore, this research aims to explore the potential of iconic forms in Medan City with the goal of developing them as references for the creation of textural painting art as a tourism product for Medan City. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, conducted both in the field and in the studio. The methods employed include surveys and creative creation, applying Graham Wallas' theory of creativity. Research data is collected from various sources using relevant techniques, subjected to data triangulation, and analyzed following an interactive model: data reduction and presentation, verification, and drawing conclusions. The research results indicate that the potential of iconic forms as references for abstract textural painting art emerges from their representation of Medan City's character, alongside the dynamic nature they embody. The exploration of abstract textural art becomes tangible during the painting process, which, in this study, involves deformative processes, particularly simplification and stylization. Abstract textural painting art is explored based on the principles of visual art and tourist art, resulting in artworks that possess both aesthetic and technical qualities as tourism products.
Effectiveness of web-based virtual laboratory on grade eight students’ self-regulated learning
Authors: Al-Duhani Fatma , Mohd Saat Rohaida , Abdullah Mohd Nor Syahrir
Published: February 2024

Self-regulated learning (SRL) is an important factor in online learning and is defined as the process of actively managing one’s own learning process to achieve a desired outcome. However, many issues remain unsolved about how to improve cognitive strategies and self-regulation in online learning environments where teachers are not physically present. As a result, this study aims to explore the effectiveness of a web-based virtual laboratory on enhanced students’ SRL. A quasi-experimental pre-/post-test with a control group design was employed involving 40 female students aged 14-15 years old. While the students in the experimental group carried out the practical activities using a specially developed web-based virtual laboratory, the students in the control group used a physical laboratory. The results obtained indicated that the virtual laboratory significantly enhanced metacognitive self-regulation, effort regulation, peer learning, and overall SRL more than the physical laboratory. These findings could be attributed to how students learn using the virtual laboratory. For instance, students can navigate the virtual lab website at their own pace at anytime and anywhere.

This case report aims to raise awareness of the seriousness of neglecting a kidney stone which can turn into a killer destroying the entire renal parenchyma and lead to radical treatment. The development of new endoscopic techniques such as mini NLPC and ureteroscopy has made it possible to improve the management of kidney stones and even complex corraliform stones. Nephrectomy by lombotomy remains an open surgical technique among others which allows the removal of the diseased kidney to avoid the appearance of complications such as pyelonephritis and pyonephrosis.

Adrenocortical adenocarcinoma (ACA) is a rare malignancy that develops at the expense of the adrenal cortex. The key to its treatment lies in surgery, with complete resection of a localized form offering the best chance of cure. This article presents the case of a 68-year-old man treated for adrenocortical adenocarcinoma at the Hassan 2 University Hospital in Fez. The patient, with no notable pathological history, consulted for dizziness and abdominal pain, leading to the discovery of a malignant adrenal mass on radiological evaluation. A successful left laparotomy adrenalectomy was performed, confirming, by pathological analysis, a Weiss score 4 adenocarcinoma. Immunohistochemical results showed expression of cytokeratin AE1/AE3, while other markers were absent. The article highlights the efficacy of surgery in the treatment of localized forms of this rare tumor, while highlighting diagnostic challenges and the need for international coordination in adrenocortical adenocarcinoma research and care.

Abnormal labial frenum may affect gingival health and cause periodontal disease. Abnormalities of the frenum also cause diastema of central incisors and irritation of the periodontal tissues, interfering with the teeth cleaning process, movement of orthodontic tools, and the proper fit of the denture and affecting the aesthetics. This case report shows that frenectomy is an alternative treatment due to abnormal labial frenum, in this case, caused by central diastema on maxillary incisors teeth. A-19 years old female patient came with chief complaints of midline diastema that affect her smile. She wants to get orthodontic treatment after the frenectomy management. The frenum was clinically high and elongated to the palatal side. Scaling and root planing were done at the first appointment, continued with frenectomy using a conventional technique (classical frenectomy) a week after the control. The treatment result showed that the frenectomy attachment was repaired and can continue the orthodontic treatment.

Cardiovascular disease accounts for about one-third of deaths worldwide. Not surprisingly, health administrators and insurances are interested in monitoring healthcare performance and outcomes through standardized indicators obtained from reliable data. Hospital-based registries of cardiovascular disease patients are currently considered the reference standard in documenting how patients are treated relative to best practice recommendations outside the ideal world of clinical trials. Monitoring is done by special monitors designed to observe patients’ physiological state like heart rate and rhythm, blood pressure, respiration and oxygen saturation and have become a standard device for diagnosis, observation, assessment and treatment in coronary care. Changes in vital signs frequently precede deterioration in a patient’s condition and monitors provide valuable information and increase patient safety. Cardiac monitoring is a vital component in the management of the patients with cardiovascular disease. Knowledge of the general condition, location, and extent of a myocardial infarction and effective use of continuous cardiac monitoring will aid the nurse participate in the process of diagnosis and treatment.

Background: Cerebellopontine angle tumors are a severe condition because of their life-threatening and functional loss potential, explained by the narrowness of the posterior fossa. The vestibular schwannoma, or acoustic neuroma, is a benign, well-circumscribed extraaxial tumor that arises from Schwann cells of the vestibulocochlear cranial nerve. The tumor is usually mainly solid, but can sometimes develop small cystic areas, due to degenerative modifications, causing microcyst formation. The coalescent of small cysts leading to forming a larger one, and responsible of a predominant cystic contingent, is rare, which makes interesting the case we are about to present. Case report: We are about to report the case of a 64-year-old male patient, with no particular medical history, which clinical interview has noted only tinnitus as a present symptom. He had experienced one year ago several disequilibrium and dizziness episodes, who have subsequently stopped over time, without any particular treatment. He also felt a little loss of hearing, especially in the left ear, but thought it was probably age related. No clinical abnormality including the facial nerve palsy was found. The MRI showed a stage 4 (Koos classification) left cystic vestibular schwannoma. This lesion was compressing the left vertebral and basilar arteries, the brain stream, the left cerebellar hemisphere, the left middle cerebellar peduncle, and the fourth ventricle, causing a triventricular hydrocephalus. After reviewing all potential therapeutic options, the patient declined surgery and decided to postpone the treatment. Conclusion: MRI is definitely the best way to explore the posterior fossa, especially the cerebellopontine angle, and helps us differentiate between all numerous tumors than can develop in this space.
