Porous Lining and Inclination Effects on Peristaltic Flow in a Non-Uniform Tube
Authors: Metri Revanasidda , Sankad Gurunath , Gurushantanavar Sharanabasayya
Published: August 2024

The consequences of varying pressure drop on a Herschel-Bulkley fluid as it flows through two-dimensional non-uniform porous tube have been explored. The governing equations of the model were solved analytically under long wavelength and low Reynolds number to determine the behavior of the fluid within the given conditions. Exact solutions are derived for the velocity field, stream functions, and pressure gradient. The observations disclose that an increase in the porous thickening of the wall enhances the pressure rise. The rise in Darcy’s numbers reduces the pressure rise. This suggests an inverse relationship between Darcy’s number and pressure difference. Also, the impact of various parameters involved in the solutions is presented graphically. The article concludes with a discussion on the trapping phenomena for Herschel-Bulkley fluid.

Plasma gasification is a highly efficient technology in enhancing process rates and gas yield compared to conventional gasification due to its extremely high operational temperatures. However, the operational performance using palm oil biomass in Malaysia as feedstock is still unclear. Hence the present study aims to investigate the effect of equivalence ratio (ER) and temperature on the performance of palm empty fruit bunch biomass (EFB) gasification assisted with plasma reaction process in producing syngas. The performance of produced syngas in terms of the gas composition, yield, lower and higher heating value, cold gas, and carbon conversion efficiency were carefully investigated. The reactor type of air-suction downdraft arrangement has been used in this study. The reactor was then assisted with the DC-thermal arc plasma reaction in the oxidation zone with the maximum power of 9 kW that is applicable to provide a reaction environment temperature of above 1200oC. The result showed that EFB gasification process assisted with plasma produced higher composition of H2 at lower ER. In contrast, higher CO was produced at higher ER. The extreme high temperature of plasma extent the production of CO by breaking the bonding of CO2 component either from the produced gas or gasifying agent of air. The characteristic of temperature distribution during the gasification process showed a highly fluctuation profile in the oxidation zones. This is due to the simultaneous exchange between produced gas in the pyrolysis zone and incoming supply of gasifying agent in the reactor inlet. This indicates that the reaction characteristic of plasma gasification is considerably identified with the conventional method. This study is important to identify the optimum operational condition of EFB plasma gasification in terms of the range of ER and temperature distribution characteristic.

The efficiency of wind turbines according to Betz limits ranges around 59%, in its development the efficiency of wind turbines is challenging to reach 50%. To increase this efficiency, many innovations were made such as the addition of tail direction, wind direction, the use of magnetic bearings, and turbulators. Flow separation that occurs in the blade causes a decrease in performance in the blade, which also occurs in vertical wind turbine blades. This research used a turbulator to reduce or shift the position of separation on the blade to improve turbine efficiency. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the use of turbulators to reduce or shift separation in wind turbine blades. The method used is to build a 3d model of the blade and turbulator, and perform simulations using CFD Ansys, with a steady flow with k-w Shear Stress Transport (k-w SST) turbulent model, at several speeds and angles of attack. The data taken is flow data on the blade, drag coefficient, and lift coefficient. When a turbulator is introduced, the results show a discernible delay in flow separation on the airfoil, namely at angles of 6°, 7°, and 8° with speeds ranging from 1 to 5 m/s. Furthermore, changes in the values of Cl and CD are noted. Pressure distribution contours and streamlines are graphically represented alongside the current numerical values. The optimal placement for the turbulator is at 40% and 50% of the chord length, producing the greatest increase in Cl and Cl/Cd ratio in this particular version.
“Marriage” in the light of the thought of Immanuel Kant and John Paul II: Commercium sexuale or communio personarum
Authors: Kieliszek Zdzislaw
Published: August 2024

The purpose of this study was to explore the philosophical concepts of marriage in the teachings of Immanuel Kant and Pope John Paul II. The study was based on a hermeneutical approach. The study employed the comparative method to compare the concepts of commercium sexuale (sexual union) and communio personarum (communion of persons); the historical method – to reconstruct these concepts and the preconditions for their emergence; the systemic method – to break down the concepts into separate provisions and analyse them without losing a holistic vision; and the structural method – to search for the hidden structural elements of these concepts and their preconditions. It was found that Kant insists on defining marriage as commercium sexuale – a union based on sexual characteristics. He considers this union to be primarily legal – it is a mutual right granted by both newlyweds to use each other’s bodies and the right to have a permanent impact on each other’s lives. For John Paul II, marriage is not a commercial arrangement, but rather a commitment of the newlyweds to give each other their personalities as a gift. Corporeality and its sexuality, as an integral part of the personality, is also part of this gift. The choice of a partner for marriage is the choice of a person to whom you are ready to promise to give yourself unlimitedly. This study covered the fundamental differences between the theological view of the nature of marriage and the philosophical concept of Kant (which substantially influenced the worldview of modern society and, as a result, postmodernity). The study also found points of intersection between the views of Kant and John Paul II.

Published: August 2024

Crisis phenomena (wars, epidemics) push people to seek spirituality. Scholars also need to study the experience of successful religious movements to identify effective management approaches in this area. An example of such a movement is the University Bible Fellowship (UBF). The study aims to identify effective methods of building a lay movement and methods of managing it and its development, based on the example of the UBF. To achieve this goal, the historical-genetic and historical-functional methods were used. It turned out that small group and one-on-one Bible studies are the most effective, as these didactic approaches have a therapeutic effect on movement members and candidates. An important role in the functioning of the Fellowship is played by the practice of writing personal testimony (sogam). From the point of view of ecclesiology, a certain amount of uncertainty is useful for the lay movement, which allows it to attract representatives of different denominations. The ability of the founders of the movement and its leaders to use their leadership qualities was important, as is seen in the examples of Samuel Lee and Sarah Barry. Some types of activities of religious organisations, such as presence on social media, are notable to convey religious experience but are necessary in the modern world. The rapid involvement of movement members in missionary or volunteer activities also plays an important role. The results of this study can be used both to further study the history of the UBF and to create lay movements using the most effective methods of management, evangelism, and didactic influence.

Published: August 2024

The purpose of the study is to uncover the specifics of the importance of religion in today’s political system of Kazakhstan. The leading research methods used to address this issue include analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction, modelling, and the method of generalisation. The democratisation of political processes has led to the creation of favourable conditions for the spread and revival of religious values. Legal mechanisms have emerged to regulate state-religious relations and prevent conflicts and destructive processes detrimental to society. Religious organisations have become active participants not only in the religious sphere but also in the social, cultural, and political aspects of society. Therefore, this paper addresses current issues related to defining the role of religion in the modern world. To achieve the purpose of the study, key questions were addressed, including those related to the existing innovations in the political and religious systems, the significance of the religious aspect in public life, and the modernised principles of interaction between religious and political aspects. The main areas of the study were determined by the insufficient theoretical and methodological developments and the growing importance of the subject. There is a lack of existing research on the topic, which is justified by the conducted thorough literature review. The paper formulated its own conclusions while considering publications by other specialists in this field. The study also modelled the areas for the further development of the religious system. Materials from European experts were examined, allowing for a comprehensive consideration of the significance of religion in the political system under modern conditions. As a result of the study, key features of religion in the modern world were identified. The materials in the study have practical value and can be used in the organisational and economic support of Kazakhstan’s political system.

Published: August 2024

This study aims to identify ways to adapt religious practices and beliefs to meet the contemporary dynamics of society. For this purpose, the following methods of scientific cognition were used: analysis, comparison, synthesis, deduction, classification, as well as interdisciplinary and systemic approaches. In the course of the research, a comprehensive review of the contemporary religious situation was conducted. The following global trends were revealed and identified: secularism, non-traditional religious movements, demographic, political and economic changes. Through the literature review, the concept of religious variability was formulated, revealing the normativity of change and transformation of religious beliefs and traditions, and a detailed study of traditional and non-traditional movements revealed the relationship between the rise of non-traditional religious beliefs and crises. The study also explored the role and place of digital technologies in the context of religion. This made it possible to determine that traditional religious movements often do not fully utilize the full potential of social networks and the Internet, thus depriving themselves of the opportunity to communicate quickly and effectively with believers, as well as to engage in discussion with representatives of other religions and atheists. The interrelationships between religion, politics, and economics in modern society were identified and a number of problems that follow from these interrelationships were presented: the interference of religion in political processes, which can create divisions in society and undermine the secular principles of the state, while economic crises can cause upheavals in religious communities. Solutions to all the problems identified were proposed, which included educational programmes, digitalization of traditional religious organizations, and the development of effective interreligious dialogue.
The challenge of secularism to religion: A South African Christian perspective
Authors: Verster Pieter
Published: August 2024

Secularism worldwide poses great challenges to religion. It is as if the gates are open to reject religion. Secularism in many ways challenges the truth, morality, political power and social value provided by religions in general terms. Secularism also tends to promote a society where religion has no role to play in education or state affairs. In some cases it additionally argues for the separation of Church and state and this importantly tends to limit the vital influence of a religion on pressing social and moral issues. The most important challenge however, comes from some scientists who reject a religious understanding of the world. Evolution is regarded as a proven scientific explanation of the present world. Furthermore, religious books such as the Holy Bible are rejected because of the so-called discrepancies and evil descriptions even of God. How should religions react to these challenges? The purpose of this paper is to explain the main implications of secularism. In South Africa, the religious beliefs of many are rejected. Authors of novels, many influential people, and even some theologians who turned away from faith explain that secularism should be embraced. The purpose was to engage these views and explain how religions should react. The method followed in this paper was to conduct a literature study of the main views on secularism from a selection of novelists and ex theologians and to engage with these from a literature study of exponents who, largely from a Christian viewpoint, discuss their responses to these views. The paper then evaluated these ideas and views. The implications are that the purpose of religious beliefs is again made clear and that the value of faith in the present world of secularism is established. Although the answers are not acceptable to all, it is essential to engage secularism in detail.

This study analyses the role and impact of public-private partnerships to improve food security in coastal areas of Indonesia. The public-private partnership model as a tool to address poverty, food needs and stunting is examined using a qualitative exploratory technique. Additional information was gathered by the researchers via interviews, field observations and documents. The study was carried out in Indonesia’s Coastal Takalar Regency, and NVivo 12 Pro was used to visualise the data. The results showed that the parties involved in efforts to improve food security on the Takalar Regency Coast include the Food Social Service and Village Community Empowerment of Takalar Regency, Subdistrict Social Welfare Workers, village government, Mandiri Bank, food suppliers and E-Warong (noncash government assistance) agents. Findings further showed that the benefits arising from this collaboration can reduce social inequalities such as decreasing poverty, increasing food needs and reducing stunting cases in the coastal areas of Takalar Regency. This work revealed several obstacles to cooperation between the government and the private sector to improve food security through food aid programmes, namely corruption through diversion of aid funds and a lack of supervision.

Authors: Monono Naiza Monono
Published: August 2024

Background: Neonatal hypoglycemia is a major metabolic problem. Neonates who are born preterm, small or large for gestational age and neonates born to diabetic mothers are at greater risk and it may result to severe neurodevelopmental complications and death. The prevalence in the South-West Region is unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence, risk factors and outcome associated with immediate postnatal hypoglycemia in the Limbe health District.

Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was carried out over a period of 4 months (4th December 2023-4th April 2024). Glycemic checks were done for the neonates born within the two hospitals in the Limbe Health District, 30 minutes after birth. Consent was gotten from the mothers of the neonates and questionnaires filled consisting of demographic data, antenatal and perinatal history. Data was entered into excel sheets and analysed using the SPSS version 26.0.

Results: Amongst the 152 babies who were recruited, the prevalence of Immediate post-natal hypoglycemia was 24 (15.8%). Males and preterm were more prone to hypoglycemia. Positive risk factors to neonatal hypoglycemia were the preterm (AOR= 100.654 95% CI=11.168-907.135; p=0.000). The most common outcome of neonates with hypoglycemia in our study was decrease in physical activity occurring in about 50% of the neonates with hypoglycemia and a mortality rate of 1.3% was registered.

Conclusion: The incidence of immediate post-natal hypoglycemia is high in our setting. The neonates at risk were the preterm babies. Male babies were more prone to hypoglycemia. The most common outcome was decrease in physical activity. Identifying risk groups, early diagnosis and prompt management will prevent and reduce complications of post-natal hypoglycemia in neonates.
Escaping the Trap: Adapting the U.S.-China Arms Race to the Dynamics of Artificial Intelligence
Authors: CAI Cuihong , ZHANG Luyao
Published: August 2024

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) has become integral to the defense strategies of major military powers, particularly the U.S. and China, heralding a new era of military innovation. This technological advancement has driven both countries to significantly accelerate their development of intelligent weapon systems, fundamentally reshaping strategic capabilities and defense architectures and profoundly affecting Sino-U.S. strategic relations. The U.S. defense policy explicitly identifies China as a strategic competitor, emphasizing the necessity to maintain a leading position in critical and emerging technologies such as AI. Conversely, China views the U.S. advancements in AI weaponry as efforts to contain its rise and destabilize the international strategic balance. This article examines the transformation of the traditional arms race model in the AI era, highlighting how the new features of AI, such as increased information transfer speed and reassessment of cost-benefit analyses, are reshaping military interactions among great powers. The inability to adapt to these changes could entrap the U.S. and China into a new AI arms competition model, leading to a strategic dilemma. The article concludes with strategies for the U.S. and China to break down traditional tactical choices in the arms race and bypass the five mutually reinforcing traps, enabling competition and cooperation to coexist. This approach aims to rebuild strategic stability, minimize the negative impacts of the AI arms race, and maintain regional and global peace and security.

Published: August 2024

Abstract

Promoting enterprise digital technology innovation is important for facilitating the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy. Using data from listed companies in the A-share market and the Global Patent Database from 2014 to 2020, this study found that the implementation of employee stock ownership plans by enterprises significantly promotes digital technological innovation by enhancing the stability of hired employees, strengthening the level of risk-taking, and improving financing constraints. Further analysis reveals that the implementation of an employee stock ownership plan has a more significant effect on the digital technology innovation of private enterprises, enterprises with higher annual turnover rates and enterprises with more negative news coverage. Based on these findings, we propose accelerating institutional innovation, improving the financing support system, and implementing differentiated policies to help enterprises better adapt to the development needs of the digital economy and to provide a reference for the formation of new types of production relations, the development of new quality productive forces, and the promotion of high-quality economic development.

Published: August 2024

Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is responsible for 80–90% of urinary tract infections (UTI) in the global population. The emergence of the increasing resistance to broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents was due to the ability to form biofilms. Cell surface factors that play a role in biofilm formation include Quorum Sensing (QS) which is encoded by the luxS family gene and curli by two operons, namely the csgBA operon. The purpose of the study is to detect the effects of 2 virulence genes (csgD and luxS) on biofilm-forming UPEC associated with UTI. As many as 76 UPEC isolates were collected from the clinical microbiology laboratories and the biofilm development was analyzed using the crystal violet method on microplate 96 wells. Using PCR assay, the two studied genes (csgD and luxS) were determined to be present in the isolates. UPEC isolates the bacteria-produced biofilms (90.80%) and nonproducers (9.20%). Most UPEC bacteria (97.36%) are known to be positive for csgD and luxS gene, while the others (92.10%) are known to be positive for the luxS gene. The highest proportion of the genes expressed in this study is followed by the presence of a relationship between the ability to produce biofilm and the presence of the genes under investigation, which is followed by all UPEC strains that cause UTI in humans.
MEMÓRIA AMBIENTAL E POPULAÇÃO NEGRA EM PORTO ALEGRE: O ATERRO DO BAIRRO PRAIA DE BELAS
Authors: Algayer Casagrande Elisa
Published: August 2024

O artigo aborda a memória dos aterros na cidade de Porto Alegre, com destaque para o bairro Praia de Belas. A cidade, situada às margens do rio Guaíba, optou por realizar aterros ao longo de seu desenvolvimento urbano, visando soluções para inundações e saneamento. O bairro Praia de Belas é um dos locais onde esses aterros foram realizados de forma expressiva entre 1950 e 1970, transformando a paisagem urbana e a dinâmica dos moradores locais. Além das áreas residenciais, foram criados parques, prédios administrativos e o Estádio Beira Rio sobre a área aterrada. Antes desse processo, o local era composto por chácaras e sítios, e um dos proprietários da área, Antônio Rodrigues Belas, foi responsável pela abertura de uma estrada importante para a comercialização de escravizados na região, o que evidencia a relação do bairro com o passado escravagista da cidade. Ao longo do texto, reflito sobre a tradição do local como terra de povo negro, emergindo como uma comunidade em uma área difícil de habitar e estigmatizada ao longo da história. O texto foi elaborado a partir de uma perspectiva da antropologia urbana e da memória coletiva, explorando a intersecção entre as experiências históricas da população negra e as paisagens urbanas de Porto Alegre. Com inspiração nos trabalhos de Gilberto Velho sobre sociedades complexas e guiado pela abordagem da etnografia da duração de Cornélia Eckert e Ana Luiza Carvalho da Rocha, o estudo foi desenvolvido durante o período de mestrado em Diversidade Cultural e Inclusão Social na Universidade FEEVALE e de doutoramento em Antropologia Social na UFRGS, e enquanto pesquisadora associada, em diálogo com o Banco de Imagens e Efeitos Visuais (BIEV).
