Authors:   “Paisii Hilendarski” University of Plovdiv, Mollov Muharem , Petrov Petar ,   “Prof. Assen Zlatarov” University
Published: March 2022

This paper is dedicated to the challenges of the education that high school students are facing while developing specific competencies related to the functional programming style (FPS). The presented educational approach consists of two components: first, learning FPS by comparing it with the imperative, procedural, object-oriented and logic programming paradigms and second, using competencies based approach for solving practical problems with functional programming. The paper presents a problem set and the phases of its application in the learning process. The results and the analysis of the approach are presented in two groups of high school students which develop successfully their specific competencies for using FPS for practical problem solving. The presented results show that the students are understanding easier FPS and its differences from their known paradigms (imperative, procedural, object-oriented and logical) by using a problem set with properly prepared practical problems which they can solve in multiple ways which lead them to the FPS solution.

Authors:   University of Economics – Varna, Mihaylov Deyan
Published: March 2022

This paper provides implementations of three well-known ciphers – Caesar Cipher, Vigenere Cipher and Hill Cipher in Microsoft Excel. It is shown how the ciphers can be broken by using Brute-force Attack, Frequency Analysis Attack and Known-plaintext Attack. For the purpose of the cryptanalysis the relative occurrence frequencies of the letters and the index of coincidence (κ ) in Bulgarian language are determined. The classical Frequency Analysis Attack is modified using the cross-correlation between frequencies of letters in the natural language and the cipher text. Modular matrix operations in MS Excel are shown.
Celiotomia exploratória em decorrência à obstrução por enterólito em equino com síndrome cólica - relato de caso
Authors: Benevides Rebeka Barbosa , Baron Erica Elias , Sant’ana Valeria Aparecida Caobianco
Published: March 2022

A síndrome cólica está entre uma das mais importantes patologias do sistema digestório da espécie equina, tem caráter emergencial e 7 a 10% necessitam de intervenção cirúrgica. Em alguns casos, como neste relatado, o procedimento cirúrgico pode ser decorrente a enterólitos. O enterólito é uma solidificação de minerais, em algumas ocorrências podem obstruir a passagem intestinal, e nos casos de obstrução em sua maioria o tratamento é cirúrgico. Neste relato de caso, o tratamento foi cirúrgico em decorrência à obstrução por enterólito em equino com síndrome cólica. Mesmo ciente dos riscos que a cirurgia apresentava, por exemplo, óbito da égua ou uma resposta negativa ao tratamento, os proprietários optaram pela cirurgia no Hospital Escola Veterinário UniEduk de Indaiatuba - SP. Dessa forma, vale ressaltar que o diagnóstico rápido e preciso é primordial para um prognóstico positivo, sendo necessário um médico veterinário especializado para identificar se o tratamento é clínico ou cirúrgico, para que não ocorra demora no encaminhamento ao hospital e piora do prognóstico.

This work aims to discuss a study of numerical simulations of the performance of arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) and fiber Bragg grating (FBG) demultiplexers in a fiber optical network in a special class of fiber denominated fiber of photonic crystal (PCF) considering the dispersive and non-linear effects. The proposed method is based on numerical simulations in a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) network configuration in PCF. For the simulation and analysis, the commercial OptiGrating software was used, a versatile numerical tool used to model integrated devices that incorporate FBG and OptiSystem software to simulate fiber propagation with non-linear and dispersive characteristics. The analysis of the performance of the systems was done through a comparison between the values obtained in terms of Bit Error Rate (BER) and Quality Factor (Q Factor) in a dense WDM system with spacing between 50 GHz channels, and 12 Gbit/s transmission rate. The results show that the FBG demultiplexer in terms of the BER and the Q factor for the PCF was the one that obtained the best performance, when compared the FBG demultiplexer with SMF and the AWG demultiplexer obtained excellent results for both fibers.
The status and determinants of rural household food insecurity in North Shewa Zone, Oromia Region, Ethiopia
Authors: ABERA Nigusu , MEKONİN Shewadinber
Published: March 2022

Food insecurity and under nutrition are significant challenges to the economic growth of Ethiopia. The objectives of this study were to identify the status and determinants of food insecurity for households targeted under a productive safety net program. About 392 beneficiary households were selected using multistage random sampling methods. The household food balance model and multiple linear regression models were used to measure household food insecurity levels and identify factors affecting food insecurity. According to the food balance model output, all sample households targeted under the program were food insecure. This revealed that the total daily energy available to the sample households was less than 2100 kcal per adult equivalent. Moreover, the multiple regression model output depicts that family size, sex of the respondents, total farm owned by the respondents, livestock size, credit utilization, household participation in community organization, household access to off/non-farm income, and household access to saving habit had a significant effect on food insecurity status of households. Therefore, in order to reduce the food insecurity status of households policymakers should focus on strengthening household saving habits, expanding off/non-farm activities, promoting family planning, and strengthening the credit services.

Comparative analysis of 3d modeling techniques in the design of bim models
Authors: dos Santos Leonardo Nery Carrijo
Published: March 2022

Present in several engineering and architecture projects, the BIM methodology, applied in 3D modeling projects, has become a work tool for several professionals in the AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction Industry) in the last decade [1]. This change possibly altered the way projects are represented and even initially conceived. In this sense, an important part of the BIM process is related to the generation and design of virtual models, since the decision on the type of graphic representation of such objects will guide the decision making of the project as a whole [2]. In relation to the type of modelling, parametric, informative and artistic ones usually stand out. Therefore, this work aims to analyze and compare such design approaches to verify which applications are more interesting for each use case.

Authors: Longoria E Rosa M
Published: March 2022

Tomato cultivation in the state of Sinaloa represents a third of the production in Mexico. Technological innovation techniques have now been incorporated into its production, moving from soil cultivation to stick cultivation and under controlled conditions in greenhouses; offering products with low or no agrochemical residues, seeking to reverse contamination problems in addition to these practices increasing the value of the product. The objective of this research was to develop an efficient and reproducible system for the in vitro propagation of tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum) without the use of exogenous growth regulators, using dry mature seeds of six tomato varieties (hybrid brigade, hybrid maya; sun 6200; sun 6366; calista; DRD 8561). Under sterile conditions, the seeds were cultivated in a medium with salts (MS) Murashige and Skoog [1], without growth regulators, under controlled conditions (photoperiod of 16 h.day-1) at 25 ± 20oC. After five weeks of incubation, vitro plants were obtained, which presented a positive response to the aforementioned conditions, obtaining stems of good size, presence of leaf tissue, and abundant root growth, showing efficient and rapid tissue reproduction and easy handling. This work presents an efficient plant regeneration system with the advantages of not using exogenous growth regulators and easy handling from adventitious shoots, demonstrating that the micropropagation technique helps to produce more plants in less time.
Critical Thinking Skills: Developing a Course to Guide our World toward Ethical Decision-Making
Authors: Walsh-Soucheray Kate
Published: March 2022

Many people would have us believe that teaching critical thinking skills is not possible, but that these are skills we are born with, or not. This is simply not true. Understanding that making good decisions is something that must be taught, because young people in our current culture are engulfed in worldwide societies that purport little ethical or moral guidance. Due to the dearth of good role modeling for character, the important skill of critical thinking must be addressed in our churches, our schools, and our homes. We cannot leave this important skill to social media and peers and have the expectation that our young people will understand how to become good, moral citizens of our world.

O objeto deste estudo está relacionado com a área de gerenciamento de projetos e justifica-se pela contribuição na ampliação do conhecimento sobre o uso da escuta ativa, como fator comportamental, facilitador no gerenciamento de projetos. Objetivo geral: Conhecer, mediante uma revisão sistemática, resultados de pesquisas que tratem do uso da escuta ativa como fator comportamental, facilitador para o gerenciamento de projetos em engenharia. Objetivos específicos: Discutir se a escuta ativa gera confiança e credibilidade para um gestor de projetos e reduz falhas na comunicação. Avaliar se a escuta ativa é uma habilidade a ser exigida na seleção de gerentes de projetos. Analisar se a escuta ativa ajuda na qualidade do relacionamento interpessoal e no comprometimento da equipe com o gerenciamento de projetos. Identificar o que ocorre com os gestores de projetos quando suas habilidades humanas prevalecem sobre as habilidades técnicas. O método utilizado ocorreu em oito etapas: delimitação da questão a ser pesquisada; escolha das fontes de dados, eleição das palavras-chave; busca e armazenamento dos resultados; seleção de artigos pelo resumo, de acordo com os critérios de inclusão e exclusão; extração dos dados dos artigos selecionados; avaliação dos artigos e síntese e interpretação dos dados. Os resultados revelam que a escuta ativa: melhora o alinhamento do discurso, deixa a equipe entrosada, gera confiança e credibilidade para o gestor de projetos, reduz falhas na comunicação e é uma virtude desejada pelas empresas para um bom gestor; é uma habilidade a ser exigida na seleção de gerentes de projetos; contribui para a qualidade do relacionamento interpessoal e no comprometimento. Entretanto, quando as habilidades humanas sobrepõem as habilidades técnicas os gestores se tornam referência positiva e obtém maior êxito na gestão de projetos. Para discursão temos: A ausência de palavras como qualidade de vida, criatividade e empreendedorismo reflete que os aspectos comportamentais são tratados, apenas, como instrumentos para o desempenho do projeto e satisfação do cliente e não como forma de gerar qualidade de vida no trabalho? A falta de autoconhecimento por parte do gestor de projetos pode prejudicar o uso da escuta ativa em sua ação profissional? Concluise que a escuta ativa é uma virtude desejada pelas empresas na seleção de um bom gestor e essencial para o sucesso do gerenciamento de projetos, gera confiança e credibilidade, reduz falhas na comunicação e ajuda no relacionamento interpessoal. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: engenharia, escuta ativa, fator comportamental, gerenciamento de projetos.
Sinterização: Vantagens e Desafios para sua Implementação como Processo Capaz de Substituir a Usinagem
Authors: Berto Calvinho Alexandre
Published: March 2022

A produção de componentes por meio do processo de sinterização ou metalurgia do pó foi desenvolvido no início do século XX, porém somente após a Segunda Guerra Mundial seu uso foi expandido na indústria manufatureira, com destaque para a indústria automobilística. Este processo consiste na fabricação de peças por meio do uso de pó metálico submetido à uma condição de altas temperatura e pressão, permitindo obtenção de peças com geometrias complexas em um número reduzido de etapas de produção. Ao se avaliar os benefícios que esse processo trás para grandes centros de fabricação de componentes metálicos, a sinterização permite eliminar muitas etapas de usinagem, uma vez que equipamentos como tornos ou fresas só permitem alterações localizadas (uma face ou uma direção por vez), enquanto o processo de metalurgia do pó terá a conformação definida pelo molde que for utilizado, sendo necessária apenas uma etapa posterior de acabamento. Na prática, ao se comparar um centro de fabricação baseado em usinagem com um centro baseado em sinterização, vê-se menos equipamento e operadores no segundo cenário, havendo o desafio do investimento inicial no maquinário e moldes necessários para implementar este processo e o requerimento de um conhecimento técnico que ainda não está tão difundido nas escolas técnicas brasileiras. Apesar dos benefícios para a produção, gestão e custos fabris apresentados pela metalurgia do pó, ainda são poucas as empresas brasileiras que iniciaram a migração para este processo, algo diferente do que se observa em grandes centros tecnológicos que existem em países como a China, por exemplo. A principal conclusão que se tem ao se comparar duas empresas capazes de fazer os mesmos produtos utilizando tecnologias diferentes é que a sinterização é capaz de substituir a usinagem e a necessidade de um investimento inicial maior é compensada quando se faz um estudo de payback (indicador de tempo de retorno de investimento) considerando maior de produtividade, menor desperdício de material em processo, menor área física requerida para instalação e menor número total de empregados.

In the year 1946, Tamilnad(Fig. 1) received a rainfall of 31.2'' which was 73 per cent above the normal amount of 18.5'', while in the year 1949, the rainfall over this area was only 10.5'' which was 43 per cent below normal. The northeast monsoon rainfall for the years 1946-50 and the normal rainfall for this season are given in Fig. 2.
Surgical Versus Nonsurgical Management of Acetabular Fractures With Associated Patterns in Elderly Patients: Factors Affecting Outcomes
Authors: Heimke Isabella M. , Scarcella Nicholas R. , Simske Natasha M. , Furdock Ryan , Vallier Heather A.
Published: March 2022

Introduction:

Among elderly patients, anterior column posterior hemitransverse (ACPHT) and associated both column (ABC) are common acetabular fracture patterns after low-energy mechanisms. Given the paucity of outcomes data in this cohort, the goal of this study was to determine the favorability of results with surgical versus nonsurgical management. Secondarily, factors linked with poor functional outcomes were assessed.

Methods:

Over a 16-year period, 81 patients aged ≥60 years with 82 ACPHT and ABC acetabular fractures were evaluated. Retrospectively, patient demographics, injury details, and early and late complications were collected. Functional outcomes were assessed with the Musculoskeletal Function Assessment (MFA) after a minimum of 12 months of follow-up.

Results:

During the study period, 81 patients sustained 82 ACPHT (n = 35, 43%) or ABC (n = 47) fractures, most secondary to low-energy falls (71%). Patients managed surgically were younger, had higher-energy mechanisms, and more often had an associated hip dislocation or marginal impaction (all P < 0.05). Of note, 42.3% and 18.5% of patients had early and late complications, respectively, with no differences between surgical and nonsurgical groups. Posttraumatic arthrosis (PTA) was noted in 27% overall (36% surgical versus 16% nonsurgical, P = 0.10). The mean MFA score was 25.2 after 59 months. Better outcomes were associated with high-energy mechanisms, multiple injuries, and surgical management (all P < 0.05). The worst MFA outcomes were among patients with PTA (40.2) and those requiring a secondary procedure (45.7), both P < 0.05.

Discussion:

Nonsurgical management had a low rate of PTA. Mitigating PTA and decreasing the rate of secondary surgeries seem crucial achieving satisfactory outcomes. Higher-energy injuries benefit from open reduction and internal fixation, as indicated by better MFA scores.

Retinoic Acid: A Potential Risk Factor for Congenital Heart Disease
Authors: Siddiqui Maria Fareed , Farooq Sehar
Published: March 2022

Retinoic acid (RA), a derivative of vitamin A, plays an essential role in human beings during growth and development. Intake of vitamin A in body is by eitheranimal/plant diet or use of medication to treat skin problems and cancer. Adequate intake of retinoic acid is critical as high and low quantities of retinoid lead todevelopmental defect by acting through retinoid receptors present in human body, which actively modulate many signaling pathways and control embryonic development and differentiation. Excess intake of RA cause congenital heart diseases (CHD) by up and down regulation of genes associated with CHD. Therefore, intake of retinoic acid or other analogous drugs especially during pregnancy enhances the risk of developing CHD. Physician and pharmacist should provide proper counseling to female patients about the benefits and risks of drugs prescribed during pregnancy. Furthermore, advancement in therapies likes surgery, angioplasty and tissue engineering used for the treatment of CHD. This review discusses an association between retinoic acid and CHD, its prevention and treatment options available.

Pemantauan terhadap perkembangan janin akan memudahkan untuk mendeteksi adanya gejala pertumbuhan janin yang tidak normal. Pemantauan dilakukan dengan melakukan pengukuran dan perkiraan usia serta berat janin. Berat badan normal janin pada usia kehamilan tertentu mengacu pada data statistik kehamilan. Janin yang terlalu besar atau terlalu kecil dapat menimbulkan masalah yang cukup serius bagi proses persalinan maupun perkembangan bayi. Proses pemantauan perkiraan usia dan berat janin dapat dilakukan dengan mengukur tinggi fundus uteri dengan menggunakan perhitugan rumus Johnson. Guna memudahkan proses pemantauan dan pemberian informasi bagi ibu hamil dalam bentuk grafik, diperlukan sebuah sistem informasi yang dapat diakses dengan mudah. Sebuah sistem yang merekam perkembangan janin dan memberikan informasi yang mudah dipahami mengenai perkembangan janin bagi ibu hamil. Karenanya pengembangan aplikasi monitoring perkembangan janin menjadi penting. Diharapkan dengan dikembangkannya aplikasi monitoring perkembangan janin, ibu hamil menjadi mudah untuk melakukan proses pencatatan dan pengawasan perkembangan janin. Metode untuk mengukur perkembangan berat badan janin dilakukan dengan menggunakan pengukuran biometri janin melalui tinggi fundus uteri. Aplikasi yang dikembangkan juga mampu menampilkan informasi grafis yang mudah dipahami mengenai perkembangan janin.

Digital signage merupakan salah satu media elektronik yang berfungsi untuk menampilkan informasi. STT Terpadu Nurul Fikri sendiri saat ini sudah menggunakan televisi kampus sebagai papan informasi digital (digital signage) untuk menampilkan berbagai informasi seperti video pengumuman, kegiatan mahasiswa, dan video profil kampus. Namun, pengelolaan konten digital signage belum maksimal dikarenakan penggunaan cara manual menggunakan flashdisk yang terhubung langsung ke televisi. Hal tersebut menyebabkan konten yang dapat ditampilkan terbatas pada format video saja. Dalam penelitian ini penulis membangun sebuah sistem informasi pengelola digital signage yang diberi nama Nufi TV. Sistem ini berbasiskan web yang dibangun menggunakan framework PHP CodeIgniter. Penulis melakukan pengembangan sistem digital signage Nufi TV dengan melalui beberapa rangkaian tahapan. Dimulai dari pengumpulan data, melakukan analisis, membuat rancangan tampilan sistem, implementasi, pengujian dengan metode black-box dan UAT dan mengevaluasi hasil yan dicapai. Beberapa fitur yang berhasil penulis bangun dalam sistem ini yaitu pengelola video, pengelola jadwal perkuliahan dan penampil running text. Namun, terdapat fitur yang belum berhasil dibuat yaitu fitur pengajuan konten dan penampil gambar.

A Modified Local Distance-weighted (MLD) Method of Interpolation and Its Numerical Performances for Large Scattered Datasets
Authors: Kaennakham Sayan , Ritthison Dusita , Tavaen Sunisa
Published: March 2022

The purpose of this study was to propose a new interpolation scheme that was designed to remedy the shortcomings encountered in two popular interpolation methods; the triangle-based blending (TBB) method and the inverse distance weighted (IDW) method. At the same time, the proposed method combines their desirable aspects, which are the local nature and non-use of quadratic surface construction, making it comparatively less time-consuming and more independent of the global effect. Because of these properties, the new scheme was named the ‘Modified Local Distance-Weighted (MLD)’ method, and it was tested in detail with different sizes of datasets. The datasets involved in this investigation were of two types; uniformly and non-uniformly distributed. The performances were carefully monitored and assessed via several criteria; accuracy, sensitivity to parameters, CPU-time, storage requirement and ease of implementation. For comparative purposes, three alternative interpolation methods were simultaneously carried out, i.e. TBB, IDW and Radial Basis Function-Based (RBF) method. The investigation clearly revealed promising aspects of the proposed scheme where a good quality of results was anticipated, and CPU-time and storage were seen to have been significantly reduced. The research strongly indicates the benefits of the proposed method for larger sized datasets for real practical scientific and engineering uses in the future.
