Published: July 2022

The leading cause of systemic vascular complications in diabetes mellitus (DM) is partial damage to the vascular wall and hemorheological changes in the lumen of blood vessels against the background of chronic hyperglycemia. Vasoconstriction, edema, ischemia and tissue hypoxia develop as a result of these processes, which, in addition to increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, lead to impaired endoneural circulation. The use of a drug with an antihypoxant effect as a pathogenetic therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and a subclinical stage of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN1) makes it possible to slow down the progression of micro- and macrovascular complications, along with achieving sustainable compensation for diabetes.Aim. To assess the effect of a drug with antihypoxic effects (Actovegin®) on the parameters of macro- and microcirculation of the capillary bed, arterial stiffness and endothelial function in patients with T2DM and DPN1.Material and methods. A comparative study of macro- and microcirculation parameters, arterial stiffness and endothelial function in patients with T2DM and DPN1 before and after treatment with Actovegin® (group “A”, n = 20), and a group of patients with T2DM and DPN1 without Actovegin® treatment (group “B”, n = 20).Results. An improvement in the parameters of microcirculation was revealed: expansion of the arterial section of the capillaries during treatment with Actovegin®. In patients with reduced endothelial function during treatment with Actovegin®, there is a significant increase in its function, as well as a decrease in perivascular edema. Treatment with Actovegin® does not affect the indicators of central hemodynamics and indicators of arterial stiffness in patients with T2DM and DPN1.Conclusion. The results of the study clearly demonstrated that the use of a drug with an antihypoxic effect (Actovegin®) in patients with T2DM and DPN1 significantly improves the parameters of microcirculation, and, therefore, can be recommended as pathogenetic therapy at the earliest stages of diabetes development. Integral assessment of microcirculation parameters, as well as a new technology for determining the pulse wave velocity and endothelial function allows to identify patients in need of more intensive monitoring. Conducting this examination before the start of drug therapy can serve as a guideline in assessing the effectiveness of the treatment.

The design and manufacture of new systems for providing electric power to non-interconnected areas are challenges for engineering. There are several alternatives, including water or wind-power generation systems, where hydrokinetic turbines are highlighted. This work establishes the methodology, identification, and correction of errors generated during the manufacture by machining, using CAD/CAPP/CAM techniques, for an axial hydrokinetic turbine. During the manufacturing process, the generation of an error on the edges of the blades was identified, which was attributed to problems in the design of the model since the degrees of freedom of the manufacturing system used were not considered. For the manufacture of complex surfaces in the design of models, the most extreme points of the surfaces in contact must match the tangent edges to ensure that machining tools can reach them with the trajectories generated from the CAM.

Energy utilization is a global issue due to the reduction of fossil resources and also negative environmental effect. The assembly process in the manufacturing sector needs to move to a new dimension by taking into account energy utilization when designing the assembly line. Recently, researchers studied assembly line balancing (ALB) by considering energy utilization. However, the current works were limited to robotic assembly line problem. This work has proposed a model of energy efficient ALB (EE-ALB) and optimize the problem using a new modified moth flame optimizer (MMFO). The MMFO introduces the best flame concept to guide the global search direction. The proposed MMFO is tested by using 34 cases from benchmark problems. The numerical experiment results showed that the proposed MMFO, in general, is able to optimize the EE-ALB problem better compared to five comparison algorithms within reasonable computational time. Statistical test indicated that the MMFO has a significant performance in 75% of the cases. The proposed model can be a guideline for manufacturer to set up a green assembly line in future.

Gas turbines and solid oxide fuel cells can be combined in two different strategies to create a new high-efficiency hybrid system. In most hybrid systems, the fuel cell is located directly before the combustion chamber (pressurized type) or after the turbine (atmospheric type). The indirect hybrid system is another compound that has been less studied. In this system, the fuel cell and the gas turbine cycle are located in two separate cycles and heat exchange was done by a heat exchanger. The main purpose of this article is to compare the exergy and economic performance of direct and indirect hybrid systems. The results show that the direct hybrid system with pressurized fuel cell has better performance than the other two types of hybrid system. High electrical efficiency, low rate of irreversibility and pollution, and low cost of electricity generation, as well as appropriate cost of purchase, installation and system setup, are the characteristics of this type of hybrid systems. Analyzes of this study showed that the only positive feature of direct atmospheric fuel cell systems is high production capacity and indirect hybrid systems are less efficient than direct systems.

A high amount of energy is required to produce different types of clay and sand-lime bricks, and a huge amount of carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere. Also, brick waste from the destruction of dilapidated buildings pollutes the environment. Application of pozzolanic sources containing aluminosilicate and alkaline activators can be beneficial in production of geopolymer bricks, which do not need to be baked in a furnace and can be recycled. A laterite-based geopolymer brick mix design was introduced in this study as an environmental-friendly material. This type of brick is produced using available and cheap raw materials without the need for high furnace heat. The raw materials included laterite soil as aluminosilicate, laterite aggregate filler passed through sieve No. 8 and an alkaline activating solution with different concentrations. The effect of laterite aggregate size on the compressive strength of these brick samples was investigated. The results showed that the compressive strength of the prepared bricks here was much higher than the recommended standards for construction bricks and was similar to those of high-resistance bricks. The size of laterite aggregate had a significant effect on the compressive strength of geopolymer brick samples. The percentage of water absorption of the bricks with different concentrations of alkali activating solution was also within the recommended range for construction bricks.

One of the challenges for engineers in designing comfort indoor environments is merging the need of energy savings and thermal comfort of the occupants. However, to assess complex heterogeneous environments created by novel building systems, there is a need for choosing more sophisticated and precise tools. There are many best ways to evaluate thermal comfort, at the same time the most cost and time-consuming one, various modelling tools are widely used. In this paper, we present a human climate chamber as a methodology for indoor environmental research, to predict the thermal comfort. Along with presenting this methodology, the human climate chamber was demonstrated on ﬁve supply temperature representing the indoor environment such as conditions for which thermal sensation was predicted with satisfactory accuracy. Based on the presented results, the overall thermal sensation on the body will be influenced mainly by those body segments that have a greatest thermal sensation under different condition's environment (supply temperature). The overall thermal comfort will follow the warmest environment (26 oC and 29 oC) and the coldest in a cool environment (19 oC and 23 oC). Furthermore, the overall thermal comfort will closely follow the parts of the body that feel the most uncomfortable in a cool or warm environment. The study found that supply temperature at the 23 oC indicates that the PMV is comfortable. The value of PMV in a supply temperature set at 23 oC is 0.26. This study contributes to the body knowledge of thermal comfort towards human in the building.

This paper presents a heuristic technique for improving the voltage profile and reducing power loss in a distribution network. These components are to be maintained at a certain standard to boost the electricity supply power of a distribution network. The shunt capacitor placement technique is applied to achieve a sustainable electric power supply. The issue of power loss has been a major threat to the distribution network. A distribution network is expected to operate at a certain voltage level to meet consumers’ energy demand. Power flow studies have been conducted using Newton Raphson’s technique on the 30 bus, 11 kV Onuiyi-Nsukka distribution network. It was found that the voltage profile on buses 19 and 26 was critically violated with voltage amplitudes of 0.72 pu and 0.79 pu respectively. The feeder power quality was improved using a shunt capacitor placement technique and the installation of a 1200KVAr shunt capacitor to keep bus voltage amplitudes within the legal limit of (0.95-1.05) pu. The voltage profile, active and reactive power losses on the network were determined. Active power loss and reactive power loss are reduced from 0.27MW to 0.12MW and 0.76Mvar to 0.14Mvar, respectively. Therefore, the distribution network voltage profile is improved and the power loss on the network significantly reduced.

Network-on-chip (NoC) provides solution to overcome the complications of the on-chip interconnect architecture in multi-core systems. It mainly consists of router, links and network interface. An essential component of on-chip router is an arbiter that significantly impacts the performance of the router. The arbiter should provide fast and fair arbitration when it is placed in Critical Path Delay (CPD) systems. The main aim of this research work is to design a novel arbiter for an effective network scheduler in complex real time applications. At the same time resource allocation and power consumption should be very low. Previously, a novel gate level Ping Lock Arbiter (PLA) is designed to overcome the limited fair arbitration in Improved Ping Pong Arbiter (IPPA) with less delay. But the chip size and power consumption are very high. To overcome this problem, an Effective Gate Diffusion Input (EGDI) logic-based CMOS scheme is used to design a novel Compact Ping Lock Arbiter (CPLA). The proposed CPLA is compared with the existing PLA based on static CMOS scheme. The comparison between the conventional and proposed arbiter is carried out to analyze the area, delay and power by using Tanner Tool 14.1 with 250nm and 45nm technology. The proposed CPLA is suitable for compact and smart applications with glitch free and fair arbitration. The proposed CPLA presents 41.2% reduction in total area consumption. It also provides 47.12% average Area and Power Product (APP) reduction when compared to the existing 4-bit PLA. Similarly, the proposed 8-bit CPLA shows 49.48% average APP product shrinkage when compared to conventional 8-bit PLA. For low power and area constraint applications, the proposed CPLA with EGDI is best in comparison to the static CMOS based ping lock round robin arbiter. Therefore, the results demonstrate that the proposed CPLA achieves low power and consumes less area than the existing ping lock arbiter.

UNESCO-UNEVOC has reported that the levels of awareness towards the implementation of green skills amongst TVET teacher are at low level. Meanwhile, studies have shown that teacher have lack of skills and weak of knowledge about the concept of sustainable development. The study used quantitative approach and the structural equation model was used to measure the effect of the three indicators which are teaching strategy, networking and reflecting towards learning of sustainable development. These indicators have been adapted from the Model of CSCT. The population of this study consisted of 202 TVET teacher trainee from the Institute of Teacher Education. Meanwhile the sample technique used is disproportionate stratified random sampling method and the sample size is 144. Findings show that networking and reflection were found to be positively related to learning for sustainable development, while teaching strategy was not significantly related to learning for sustainable development. The indicator of model was observed to be sufficiently solid and flexible to incorporate and measure the four construct which are cognitive, technology, emotional intelligence and action competency. Finally, the results show that networking indicator have the strongest relationship to learning for sustainable development in order to develop green skills competency in industrial 4.0 amongst TVET teacher trainee.

Aliran Feminis dan Teori Kesetaraan Gender dalam Hukum
Authors: Azizah Nur
Published: July 2022

Feminists are a driving group with different thinking patterns in the concept of gender equality. In the late 1960s until the 70s, feminist groups began to focus their attention on the legal field so that a feminist genre called Feminist Legal Theory emerged. However, this feminist school is influenced by previous thinking. Law is the focus of attention because the law is a legal tool to ratify and strengthen the patriarchal system. Law in a country is seen as unable to accommodate women's rights and only strengthens the position of men. This research is descriptive-analytical research with a literature study.

Abstrak

Feminis adalah kelompok penggerak dengan pola pemikiran yang berbeda dalam konsep kesetaraan gender. Pada akhir tahun 1960 hingga tahun 70-an kelompok aliran feminis mulai memfokuskan perhatiannya di bidang hukum sehingga muncullah aliran feminis yang disebut Feminist Legal Theory. Meskipun demikian aliran feminis ini dipengaruhi oleh pemikiran sebelumnya. Hukum menjadi focus perhatian disebabkan hukum adalah alat yang legal untuk mengesahkan dan menguatkan system patriarki. Hukum dalam suatu negara dipandang tidak mampu mengakomodir hak-hak perempuan dan hanya menguatkan kedudukan laki-laki. Penelitian ini adalah jenis penelitian deskriptik analitik dengan studi pustaka.
