Published: April 2024

This work presents a proposal for the transformation of mining-degraded areas into renewable energy installations, converting deactivated mine pits, in the Quadrilátero Ferrífero (QF) region in state of Minas Gerais (MG), Brazil, into reservoirs for Pumped Storage Hydropower (PSH). Additionally, it proposes the alteration of adjacent areas impacted by mining extraction process, through their conversion into Photovoltaic Power Plants (PV). This measure has the potential to turn mining liabilities into sources of energy with lower environmental impact and sustainability for society. This process allows energy to be stored in the form of hydraulic batteries, which can mitigate the effects of intermittency of photovoltaic generation in the electrical grid. The presented methodology involves mapping deactivated mines, calculating the energy potential of the coupled PSH and PV systems, and conducting an economic feasibility study for PSH implementation. The work includes a case study discussing potential local environmental impacts and the energy potentials of this solution. The case study resulted in identifying a suitable pair of mine pits for a PSH in the QF, capable of supplying the electrical grid with approximately 234.3 MW, with the generated energy cost ranging between U$112.26/MWh to U$167.22/MWh. It is concluded that utilizing inactive mines as PSH reservoirs and installing PV in adjacent mining-degraded areas are innovative and technologically feasible strategies. Economically, their implementation will depend on the market price of energy.

Published: April 2024

Electric vehicles (EVs) are being introduced in Rwanda and becoming attractive for different reasons. For instance, these types of vehicles can help decrease air pollution and noise emissions. In addition, it presents an alternative to combustion engines, given the increased price of fuel resources in Rwanda and around the world. This paper presents a tool tailored to optimize the design of an electrical charging station serving small-sized electric vehicles, utilizing the algorithm to assist in sizing stand-alone mopped charging stations. The developed tool is based on the toolbox EventSim from MathWorks, which permits the combination of the simulation of discrete events (such as the arrival of customers at the station) with continuous states (such as the simulation of the charging process). The required PV power was estimated by utilizing solar resources, for the location, from renewables. Ninja. The number of customers arriving at the existing oil station is normalized to estimate the energy requirements of the mopped fleet. A Poisson distribution was proposed to model the battery discharge upon arrival, and different related parameters were evaluated through a sensitivity analysis to identify their effects on the performance of photovoltaic charging station. For the testing values, the station parameters were changed by ±25% to determine the impact of key design parameters on station performance, as well as other satisfaction measures such as average waiting time and average queue length. With a 25% increase in photovoltaic panels, the blackout period decreases by 2.12%, while a 25% decrease in photovoltaic panels causes an increase of 2.18% in the blackout period. Utilizing the energy management system (EMS), the waiting time was reduced by 8%.
Effects of carbon nanotubes and carbon fibers on the properties of ultra-high performance concrete for offshore wind power generation
Authors: Chen Jing
Published: April 2024

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC), as one of the most eye-catching building materials, has been the subject of extensive research by scholars. On this basis, to expand the application of UHPC for offshore wind turbine towers in complex marine environments, three different fiber materials - copper-plated microfibre steel fibers, carbon fibers, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) - have been selected for the study of the possibilities of further improving the mechanical properties of UHPC. This study focused on understanding the impact of various fiber combinations and dosages on the flowability, compressive strength, flexural strength, and tensile strength of UHPC. Our findings indicate that carbon fiber, when present at a concentration of up to 0.5%, the effect on the fluidity of UHPC is only about 1.05%. However, the addition of CNTs significantly diminishes the flowability of UHPC, with a consistent decrease observed as the CNT content increases. Notably, when carbon fiber and CNTs are used in combination, the maximum reduction in flowability reaches 7.8%. Furthermore, as the dosage of these fibers increases, the compressive strength, flexural strength, and tensile strength of UHPC all demonstrate a positive trend of improvement. It is observed that the optimal performance is achieved when both carbon fiber and CNTs are present. In particular, carbon fiber exhibits a more profound impact on enhancing compressive strength and flexural strength, when carbon fibers were doped by volume at 0.5%, the compressive and flexural strengths were increased by 6.7% and 11.7%, respectively, compared to the control group, while carbon nanotubes increased the tensile strength by 7.4% at lower dosage. These findings highlight the potential of fiber combinations to optimize UHPC’s mechanical properties for various engineering applications..

Published: April 2024

This study discusses Pelinggih Ratu Niang Sakti as an environmental preservation effort in supporting Sad Kertih Loka Bali. Hindus in Bali have literature on the preservation of the inner environment, which is used in ceremonies such as Bhuta yadnya, ceremonies on tumpek bubuh or tumpek pengatag days, and Tri Hita Karana teachings. In addition, the problem of the natural environment, especially with regard to waste, is still a problem that has not been resolved. One form of environmental preservation that is carried out indirectly is the existence of the Ratu Niang Sakti temple. This study is analyzed using the Ethnographic Content Analysis (ECA) method and the data is presented in qualitative form. The existence of Pelinggih Ratu Niang Sakti as an environmental conservation effort in supporting Sad Kertih Loka Bali includes three things, namely (1) as a harmonizer of Tri Hita Karana teachings; (2) as biological preservation, and Hindu theo-ecology; and (3) supporting Sad Kertih Loka Bali, especially in the field of wana kertih. From the point of view of Hindu Theo-ecology, the existence of Pelinggih Ratu Niang Sakti is also related to efforts to preserve the natural environment, such as wana kerthi, which means glorifying forests and trees in Bali. The large trees that accompany the Pelinggih Ratu Niang Sakti, especially the kepuh tree (Sterculia foiteda), a type of kapok or randu tree that is tall with a towering trunk, is often found in the coastal forests of Bali and also in Java.

Authors: Rabiee Mohammadreza , Mousavi Masoumeh Sadat
Published: April 2024

Objective: Gut microbiota composition plays a pivotal role in health and emerging evidence supports the ability of exercise training programs to alter the gut microbiota’s composition and function, which could counteract dysbiosis and the effects of chronic diseases. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of different exercise methods on the composition of intestinal microbiota. Methods: We searched for published peer-reviewed articles in PubMed and Google Scholar databases up until January 2023. We searched using the terms "exercise", "education", "microbiome" and "microbiota". Results: By electronic search until January 2023 in the databases with keywords made in Mesh by mentioning Title/Abstract, several 1814 articles were collected. By repeating and performing filtering at each stage, 15 clinical trials were finally left in the study. The results showed varying degrees of efficacy and high inter-individual variations. In conclusion, the baseline microbiome profile was shown to have a decisive role in microbiome responsiveness to training intervention and training dose and duration seem to be a determining factor in all exercise modalities. Conclusion: In general, can be said that exercise can balance GM. More importantly, exercise is proposed to present a stressor to the gut that stimulates beneficial adaptations and improves long-term gut barrier flexibility over time through regular physical activity. It seems that the GM changes caused by aerobic exercise are reversible after returning to a sedentary lifestyle. Therefore, it is recommended that exercise initially causes a disrupts in GM that, with continued exercise and thus adaptation, revenues to the pre-exercise state.

The subject-language integrated learning (CLIL) approach in the training of specialists in postgraduate medical education: advantages and difficulties of use
Authors: Беляев А.А.
Published: April 2024

целью данного исследования заключается в рассмотрении положительных сторон и трудностей использования подхода предметно-языкового интегративного обучения иностранному языку при под-готовке специалистов медицинского постдипломного образования на примере ординаторов специальности «Клиническая лабораторная диагностика» (КЛД). Данный подход к обучению ранее не использовался на уровне медицинской ординатуры, что составляет научную новизну данного исследования. В статье описываются теоретические основы предметно-языкового интегрированного подхода. В ходе теоретического анализа и обобщения научной литературы по заявленной проблематике, автором было установлено, что CLIL является современным образовательным подходом с двойным фокусом - формированием иноязычной коммуникативной компетенции с одновременным развитием профессиональной компетенции, где внимание уделяется не только языку, но и содержанию. В результате анализа федерального государственного образовательного стандарта высшего образования у ординаторов по специальности «КЛД» автором было установлено, что использование подхода CLIL предоставляет возможности для достижения заявленных целей развития иноязычной коммуникативной компетенции и профессиональной компетенции у данной группы обучающихся.

the purpose of this study is to consider the positive aspects and difficulties of using the approach of subject-language integrative teaching of a foreign language in the training of postgraduate medical education special-ists using the example of residents of the specialty “Clinical Laboratory Diagnostics” (CLD). This approach to training has not previously been used at the medical residency level, which constitutes the scientific novelty of this study. The article describes the theoretical foundations of the subject-language integrated approach. In the course of theoretical analysis and synthesis of scientific literature on the stated issues, the author found that CLIL is a modern educational approach with a dual focus - the formation of foreign language communicative competence with the simultaneous development of professional competence, where attention is paid not only to language, but also to content . As a result of the analysis of the federal state educational standard of higher education for residents in the specialty “CLD”, the author found that the use of the CLIL approach provides opportunities for achieving the stated goals of developing foreign language communicative competence and professional competence in this group of students.
