Using QR Code and a Smartphone to Provide University of Cross River State (UNICROSS) Certificate Authentication
Authors: Enoima Essien Umoh
Published: June 2024

In the modern world, people frequently fabricate their credentials in order to secure a job or to show up where and when it is necessary. Verification is the most effective approach to identify those fraudulent certificates. Despite this, the paper verification method requires a drawn-out and time-consuming process to handle certificate verification because the certificates must be returned to the institutions who awarded them. As a result, the certificates either fail to pass verification or are delayed by the lengthy process. Hence, a certificate verification method using QR codes is developed in this study for quick verification of University of Cross River State (UNICROSS) certificate genuineness. A Smartphone and 3D Printed QR Code were employed for the enhancement of UNICROSS certificate mobile authentication services. ScanTrust anti-counterfeiting services were used to secure and host the encrypted information. Results show that our framework is effective for creating mobile authentication services with high user satisfaction rate and having reasonably low computing requirements.
Zn(OAc)2•2H2O- Catalyzed Synthesis of Chromeno[2,3-d] Pyrimidinones under Solvent-free Conditions
Authors: Veni P. Rama Krishna , Saradhi Ch. Vijaya , Rani G. Usha
Published: June 2024

Due to their high synthetic efficiency, multi-component reactions (MCRs) have shown to be extraordinarily effective at producing compounds in a single synthetic operation. The chromeno[2,3-d] pyrimidine moieties represent important building blocks in synthetic bioactive compounds. The reaction of barbituric acid, aldehydes, and cyclohexane-1,3-diones in the presence of zinc acetate (5 mol%) under neat conditions at 70 0C, yielded a facile and one-pot synthesis of corresponding chromeno[2,3-d]pyrimidineones. Thirteen compounds containing neutral, withdrawing and electron donating groups (H, NO2, -CN, -Cl; -OH, -CH3 and -OCH3) were synthesized in good, isolated yields ranging from 78-91%. The successful involvement of o-, m-, and p- substituted nitro benzaldehydes suggested that steric hindrance had no effect. All of the synthesized compounds are well-known, and this process is unique in that it makes use of zinc acetate, an accessible, low-cost Lewis acid catalyst.
Mathematical models of the adsorption-desorption kinetics of fenitrothion in clay soil and sandy clay loam soil
Authors: Fouad Mohamed R. , El-Aswad Ahmed F. , Aly Maher I.
Published: June 2024

Batch adsorption and desorption kinetic experiments of fenitrothion on clay soil and sandy clay loam soil indicated that the equilibration time was approximately 30 hours. The kinetics of adsorption and desorption exhibited two distinct stages: a rapid process in the initial stages followed by a slow process. The pseudo-first-order model followed by the Elovich kinetic model fit the experimental adsorption and desorption data quite well, with high values of R2 and low values of ∆qe% and SSE. Accordingly, the pseudo-first-order model is most suitable for describing the adsorption and desorption kinetics of fenitrothion on clay soil and sandy clay soil. Pseudo-second-order model type-1 and type-2 models fit the experimental adsorption data; however, these models cannot be used to describe desorption kinetics. Moreover, the modified Freundlich model has limited applicability, and the intraparticle diffusion kinetic model cannot describe the kinetics of the adsorption and desorption of fenitrothion on clay and sandy clay loam soils.

Published: June 2024

The fatigue behavior study on laminated glass/epoxy composite plates at elevated temperature is attempted in the present research work. INSTRON 8862 servo-electric universal testing machine with hydraulic suspension is utilized to perform low cyclic tension-tension fatigue tests at 0.5Hz and 0.7Hz frequencies. Bluehill universal software compatible with INSTRON 8862 is employed to obtain the relationship of fatigue stress upon cycles to failure (S – N) for each specimen. The parametric investigation is done for the loading frequency, lamination sequence and number of layers to understand their effects on fatigue behavior of composite laminated plates under ambient and thermal environment. The elicited results lead to the conclusion that above parameters greatly influenced the fatigue behavior of composite laminated plates under thermal loading. The rising temperature has significant adverse effects on fatigue life. The present research is beneficial for the analysis and design of laminated composite plate or plate-like structures in the domain of fatigue analysis.

Published: June 2024

Many industries rely heavily on the availability and reliability of complex structural and functional components to execute operations efficiently. However, failure of components during service occurs due to exposure to unfavourable operating conditions, causing wear and tear of these components. The damage will result in costly downtime and potential safety hazards. Repairing, remanufacturing and refurbishing these complex parts is critical. Restoring broken structures into operation ensures the smooth operation of the industry, thus preventing losses. Conventionally, repairing parts poses a challenge. However, Wire-arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), which employs the welding principle, has revolutionised component repairing or remanufacturing. This paper reviews the literature on manufacturing complex parts, repair, remanufacture and refurbishment of broken structural and functional parts using WAAM technology. This paper also highlights the various strategies and techniques currently used to improve the quality of WAAM 3D printed parts. The study further covers the immense potential of WAAM in revolutionising the remanufacturing and repair of components. The review study has provided a roadmap for future research and development to take full advantage of this new cutting-edge manufacturing technology.

Published: June 2024

This study focuses on developing a nano zinc oxide (ZnO) catalyst with fly ash (FA) as a support material for converting kapok seed oil (KSO) into biodiesel. This research aims to study the preparation of nano ZnO/FA solid catalysts and the catalyst's reactivity towards kapok seed oil biodiesel (KSOB) products. The catalysts were synthesized using a modification of the Stober process, which is the co-precipitation, impregnation, and precipitation step co-occurred. The catalyst is prepared on base condition using sodium hydroxide with a solvent of methanol and zinc chloride as a raw material. FA waste was effectively modified with zinc oxide particles to create a high-performance ZnO/FA composite catalyst. Under optimal stoichiometric NaOH and 60% ZnO, the resulting material achieved a remarkable specific surface area of 14.8 m²/gram, indicating its potential for enhanced catalytic activity. The prepared catalyst of nano ZnO/FA achieved successful methanolysis of KSO, with a maximum FAME yield of 61.09% attained at 65°C after 5 hours of reaction time, using a 3% catalyst dose and a KSO: methanol molar ratio of 1:15. The initial success of nano ZnO/FA with kapok seed oil paves the way for further development towards robust catalysts specifically tailored for low-grade oil conversion.

Published: June 2024

Social-media has great impact on society by spreading news which can be fake or real without analysis. Before confessing the news predictions has to be considered. To analyse a text through machines only NLP was best method. This focuses on five stages of NLP for detection of fake or real news. For creating vector to words a neural network technique word2vec was utilized for accurate prediction of word. For identifying meaning full words tokenization was utilized. By creating the vectors, the words have to be embedded for inputting the data to train and feature learning. In dense and dropout, the neural network method LSTM is initialized for the extraction of features or words. Dropout layer involves LSTM method for co-adopt the internal data. These layers mitigate overfitting by stochastically disabling neurons during training, hence fostering resilient feature acquisition. Dense layers, by use of non-linear mappings, allow the network to comprehend intricate patterns in data. This extensive investigation offers valuable insights into the development and fine-tuning of NLP models, which in turn enhances the accuracy of false news detection. To evaluate the performances epochs are utilized were accuracy and loss was validated. Five epochs are calculated were accuracy was gradually increased and loss had been decreased. The highest accuracy achieved was 99.8% and low loss value 0.01.

La dignidad ontológica y su incapacidad para fundamentar el bioderecho: una revisión crítica a partir de la concepción clásica del derecho
Authors: Núñez Hume Ángel Francesco
Published: June 2024

En un panorama como el actual, en donde la dignidad humana ha alcanzado a posicionarse en lo alto de la teoría jurídica, se ha hecho conocida en los últimos años una concepción de la dignidad que se respalda en el ser u ontología del ser humano. Atendiendo a ello, la presente investigación tiene como objetivo dar cuenta de la incapacidad de la dignidad ontológica para fundamentar por sí sola el derecho y, más en concreto, el bioderecho. Tal cometido se realizará mediante una revisión crítica del postulado a la luz de la fecunda doctrina clásica del derecho. Luego de exponer algunas de las tesis centrales de dicha doctrina, se demostrará que, al hablar de la dignidad en el derecho, la prevalencia la tiene la dignidad moral, y no la ontológica.

Az heteroagresszív viselkedés jellemzői akut pszichiátriai osztályra felvett betegek körében
Authors: Gazdag Gábor , Girasek Hunor , Soós Alexandra , Barabás Lajos
Published: June 2024

Az agresszív viselkedés gyakran oka az akut pszichiátriai osztályos felvételnek. A fokozottan agresszív betegek ellátására az Országos Mentális, Ideggyógyászati és Idegsebészeti Intézetben a közelmúltban speciális részleget indítottak. A vizsgálat célja az agresszív viselkedés előfordulásának és időbeli változásának felmérése akut pszichiátriai osztályra felvett betegek körében és a potenciálisan magas biztonságú részlegre helyezendő betegek meghatározása. A vizsgálatban egy 5 hónapos időszak alatt, egy városi kórház pszichiátriai osztályának akut pszichiátriai részlegére felvételre került betegeknél a kezelés első hetében előfordult agresszív viselkedésre vonatkozó adatok kerültek feldolgozásra. Az agresszív viselkedés felmérése a rutin ápolási munka részeként történt. A felméréshez a Dynamic Appraisal of Situational Aggression-Inpatient Version (DASA-IV) kérdőívet használtuk, amelyhez két további tétel került hozzáadásra a fizikai agresszió és a fizikai támadás jelenlétének felmérésére. A vizsgált időszak alatt összesen 290 beteg került felvételre. A betegek 60%-a mutatott agresszív viselkedést, a férfiak magasabb arányban. A felvételt követő első 12 órában megfigyelt agresszió szintje szignifikánsan korrelált a kezelés első hetében tapasztalt magasabb fokú agresszióval. A fizikai fenyegetést és tényleges fizikai agressziót mutató betegek pontszáma szignifikánsan magasabb volt a kezelés első hete alatt. Az agresszió valamely formája leggyakrabban mentális retardációban, paranoid zavarokban, bipoláris zavarban és demenciában szenvedő betegeknél fordult elő. A DASA-IV pontszám legkorábban alkalmazkodási zavarban, legkevésbé pedig a mentális retardációban szenvedő betegeknél csökkent az első hét folyamán. A terápia hatására a kezelés 4. napjára a betegek többségénél az agresszív viselkedés jelentősen csökkent, kivéve mentális retardációban. Eredményeink alapján az akut pszichiátriai felvételre kerülő betegek többségénél a kezelés első 3 napja után – a mentális retardációban szenvedőket kivéve - nincs szükség magas biztonságú részlegen történő elhelyezésre.
Coexistence
Authors: Hanson Jonny
Published: June 2024

This book investigates a vital and controversial question for conservation and rewilding in Britain and Ireland: could and should we learn to live with lynx, wolves and bears again? We travel back in time, around the world and into the future to explore this contested topic. The author delves deep into the human psyche, considering not only his own mixed feelings about large carnivore reintroductions but also why people have such polarised perspectives on top predators. He brings his unique combination of expertise on snow leopards – and their relationship with humans – along with his experience as a farmer to illustrate the discussion. Along the way, we meet a cast of characters from across society, including farmers, rewilders and everyone in between. It becomes clear that coexistence is as much about sharing landscapes with each other as it is about sharing them with wildlife. The first book to tackle this subject in detail, based on more than 50 interviews in/from seven countries, Coexistence will be of relevance to anyone with an interest in the future of nature, farming and the countryside. Personal, detailed, unflinching and engaging, it will add a great deal to this rapidly evolving debate.
Pragmatism and Idealism, the Local and the Universal in Henri Focillon’s and George Oprescu’s Museum Practice and Conception
Authors: Apostol Ioana , Andrei Eduard
Published: June 2024

Henri Focillon and George Oprescu are both acknowledged as significant art historians and critics. Despite the importance and scope of their roles as museum curators and directors, research into their work, especially that of Oprescu, is still underdeveloped. Focillon served as the head of the Lyon Museums in France for eleven years (1913–1924), while Oprescu directed the Toma Stelian Art Museum in Bucharest for eighteen years (1931–1949). Rooted in their lesser-known personal and professional relationship, primarily discussed in Romanian historiography, this article undertakes a comparative analysis of their respective work in the sphere of museology. The focus is on highlighting Focillon’s discernible influence on Oprescu’s conception as a museum director and, by extension, on the art museum practice in Romania. The analysis is situated within the broader context of the cultural diplomacy and cooperation fostered by the League of Nations during the interwar period.

Human Rights Implications Of Minimum Age For Criminal Liability Laws In Sexual Offenses: A Case Study Of India
Authors: Ameesha Ms. , Baplawat Dr. Abhishek
Published: June 2024

The abuse of children sexually is a terrible worldwide problem that leaves victims with lifelong scars. In order to ensure justice and deter similar acts, legislative frameworks are essential. Balancing this objective with the evolving rights and autonomy of teenagers poses a significant challenge. With an emphasis on India's Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, this study examines the human rights consequences of minimum age requirements for criminal liability laws pertaining to sexual offences. POCSO establishes 18 as the minimum age of consent for all sexual activities, which has raised concerns about the possible infringement of teenage rights, such as the freedom from unjustified arrest and imprisonment, privacy, bodily autonomy, and access to knowledge about sexual and reproductive health. The conflict between teenage rights and child protection is examined in the paper. This study examines how teenagers' ability to give consent is developing, as well as how criminalising any sexual behaviour under the age of 18 may violate their right to autonomy. International comparisons show how different countries handle this complicated topic and how their minimum age regulations vary. A human rights-based strategy for POCSO reform is put out in this study. In order to distinguish between consensual sexual behaviour between adolescents of similar ages and exploitative abuse, this study involves investigating the possibility of a tiered age of consent system. Furthermore, it is suggested to prioritise preventive interventions through detailed sexual education programmes for setting explicit rules for assessing capacity to consent. The necessity of open communication, stakeholder participation, and ongoing legislative revision is emphasised in the conclusion of the paper. India may develop a more effective framework for preventing child sexual abuse while defending the rights and welfare of all young people by giving human rights a higher priority.

The first mix without replacement is the control mixt through which the rest of the mixtures are compared. As for the remaining five mixtures, part of the cement was replaced with CKD, and the replacement ratios are (2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5) % sequentially. Where the ratio of water to cement was constant is 0.3 in all mixes SCC. Then the viscosity, flow ability, passing ability and segregation properties of all mixes were examined, and then some mechanical properties (compressive resistance, dry density, ability of water absorption ) were examined for all mixes. The results indicate a decrease in the workability (passing ability, flow ability, and segregation) and mechanical properties (compressive strength and density) and also led to an increase in the viscosity of T500, as well as an increase in the water absorption ability of SCC. In general, the mechanical properties of some mixes are acceptable compared to the reference mix, especially when it is replaced by a few percentages
SEISMIC PERFORMANCE AND DESIGN OF PRECAST CONCRETE SHEAR WALL STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS
Authors: K. Yaldko Shana
Published: June 2024

Our understanding of the seismic behavior and constraints of reinforced concrete shear walls was to be improved by this work. The Alto Rio building's collapse as a consequence of an earthquake was evaluated in the first section. The second section made use of information from a three-dimensional seismic simulation test on a four-story, precast post-tensioned concrete shear wall structure that was built to scale. The aim was to create useful structural engineering models, perform analytical simulations to verify the structural models' capacity to mimic behaviors that are significant to structural engineers, and determine whether the analysis tools now available are enough to represent dynamic behavior.

The research presents the daily and monthly global solar radiation on a horizontal surface in Iraq and applies it to the PVT water system. The research contributes in two ways: first, it models a novel copper pipe system that improves thermal efficiency in an actual environment, and second, it investigates the hourly and daily intensity of solar radiation in Iraq using collected irradiation at mass flow rates ranging from 0.01 to 0.02 kg per second, the surface temp of the PVT model was calculated. The surface temp was also computed using the experimental data in the PVT model. The findings were consistent with those of prior investigations. A PVT system with a constant input temp is employed to raise the surface temp throughout simulated testing with an optimal mass flow rate of 0.02 kg/s and a constant low input temp, the findings demonstrate the thermal efficiency of the PVT. February records the highest thermal efficiency and 12 pm records the highest radiation comparison with other selected months.
Designing Effective Scripts and Resources to Support Simulated Practice, Using Basic Life Support as an Exemplar

Published: June 2024

This is the third instalment in a series of papers featured in this journal, focusing on the application of mental simulation in nursing. This specific article addresses the pervasive issue of skill decay in Basic Life Support (BLS) training, proposing an innovative solution through the integration of mental simulation. Despite mandatory annual BLS updates for nurses, evidence suggests a decline in skills over time, posing risks to patient safety. Traditional methods, reliant on face-to-face sessions, may not sufficiently prevent skill decay, particularly in time-sensitive scenarios. The article advocates for mental simulation as a complementary and accessible approach to augment traditional BLS training. Focused on the vivid mental rehearsal of actions, mental simulation offers a promising avenue for nurses, seeking to reinforce correct techniques and deepen their understanding of BLS interventions. Guided by the physical, environment, task, timing, learning, emotion, perspective (PETTLEP) framework, the discussion navigates through the practical application of mental simulation. The framework serves as a model for crafting scenario scripts, emphasising each of the PETTLEP elements. Recommendations include the incorporation of progressive scripts aligned with learners’ evolving knowledge, providing a nuanced approach to skill enhancement. Authenticity is emphasised through the integration of real experiences into scripts, adopting a first-person perspective, and incorporating sound effects. While acknowledging challenges such as empirical testing and individual differences, the paper concludes by highlighting the potential of mental simulation to bridge gaps in nursing education. In offering a practical and immersive learning experience, mental simulation emerges as a valuable tool for nurses aiming to optimise their BLS proficiency, ultimately contributing to enhanced patient safety.

O ensino em Farmácia incorpora práticas e estágios como parte fundamental do desenvolvimento de habilidades profissionais, representando 20% da carga horária total do curso. Em 2020, a pandemia de COVID-19 impôs desafios significativos, levando as instituições de ensino a se adaptarem para garantir a continuidade das atividades acadêmicas, incluindo práticas e Estágios Curriculares Supervisionados (ECS). Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar o impacto da pandemia na formação prática e na atuação profissional dos graduados de um curso de Farmácia entre os anos de 2020 e 2022 em uma instituição de ensino superior localizada em uma capital da Região Sul do Brasil. Dos 72 graduandos (2020-2022) em Farmácia, 44 participaram da pesquisa. A maioria (48%) formou-se em 2022. Durante a pandemia, 73% tiveram aulas práticas remotas e 34% participaram de chamamentos emergenciais. Dos egressos, 70% enfrentaram dificuldades nos Estágios Curriculares Supervisionados, sendo a principal encontrar vagas (55%). No mercado de trabalho, 82% estão empregados e 41% foram efetivados no local onde estagiaram. Os resultados indicam que, apesar dos desafios enfrentados durante a pandemia, a transição para métodos de ensino remoto e o uso de tecnologia para acesso ao conhecimento, não tiveram um impacto negativo na formação prática e na atuação profissional dos egressos. Esses achados sugerem uma capacidade de adaptação positiva tanto por parte dos estudantes quanto das instituições de ensino diante dos desafios apresentados pela pandemia. A eficácia das medidas implementadas para garantir a continuidade do processo educacional e o desenvolvimento profissional dos graduados é destacada, demonstrando que a utilização de métodos remotos e tecnológicos foram capazes de suprir as demandas práticas e contribuir para uma formação sólida mesmo em um contexto desafiador como o vivenciado durante a pandemia.
Gestão estratégica: uma análise da inovação através da ambidestria organizacional
Authors: Eskenazi André de Oliveira
Published: June 2024

Com o acirramento do comércio internacional acarretou um significativo aumento da concorrência empresarial, onde, as organizações para continuarem a existirem e crescerem, tiveram que aprender lidar com diversas demandas interna e externa diariamente. Essa combinação de demandas acelerou a necessidade de alcançar a ambidestria organizacional, no qual, pode ser resumido na capacidade da empresa inovar e aumentar sua eficiência através da criação de novas competências (exploration) ou exploração dos produtos, serviços e processos já instituídos (exploitation), ou seja, a organização deve buscar a eficiência, a efetividade e a conformidade (exploitation) e, ao mesmo tempo, implementar a criatividade e a exploração de seus recursos (exploration). Também, a ambidestria organizacional proporciona aprendizagem através do conhecimento interno, incorporado por toda a organização, trazendo retornos mais rápidos, quando for utilizada para soluções de rotina, inovações de caráter incremental e buscas de soluções de menor risco. Entretanto, empresas que se concentram apenas na exploration ou exploitation, correm o risco de ficar presas em produtividade abaixo do ideal, colocando em risco sua sobrevivência organizacional a longo prazo. Portanto, foi observado na literatura atual, que a influência do planejamento estratégico na ambidestria organizacional pouco foi investigada, por isso, o objetivo deste trabalho é rever as últimas abordagens que versem sobre gestão estratégica, principalmente na vertente da ambidestria organizacional. Tal interesse é devido a multiplicidade e a divergência dos papéis nas empresas, aos quais os indivíduos precisam inovar constantemente. Especificamente, apontamos para a relevância de como os indivíduos se identificam e promulgam essa multiplicidade de demandas de papéis com interação com outras funções organizacionais.

The Impact of U.S. Economic Policy Uncertainty on the RMB: U.S. Dollar Exchange Rate - Case of China-US Trade War
Authors: Xiao Yufeng , Xiao Shuqing
Published: June 2024

On 6 July 2018, the United States began to impose 25% tariffs on $34 billion of Chinese goods. The trade war between China and the United States was officially launched. It lasted for more than a year, during which the two sides experienced six mutual tariff increases, which significantly impacted a few fields in China and the United States. This paper selects the RMB exchange rate to the US dollar as the research object; and takes the return of the RMB exchange rate as the data basis for modelling and analysis, intercepts its return data in the five years before and after the US-China trade war, taking the time when the United States imposed six additional tariffs on China as a dummy variable, and analyses the data by using the ARMA-GARCH model to study the impact of the RMB exchange rate by this trade war and to make predictions development of the RMB exchange rate, which will then make suggestions for China's economic.
