Quantitative Analysis of Coefficient of Performance of Liquefied Petroleum Gas Refrigeration System
Authors: Salamanca Cran Leigh Mae A. , Pabilona Leonel L.
Published: January 2025

This study addresses the significant environmental and energy efficiency challenges posed by traditional refrigeration systems. These systems emit greenhouse gases and rely heavily on electricity, making them unsuitable for regions with unreliable power supplies. To mitigate these issues and explore alternative applications for the high-priced LPG typically used in cooking, this research proposes using Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) as a substitute for refrigeration. Focusing on the mathematical modeling and empirical testing of the Coefficient of Performance (COP) of an LPG refrigeration system, this study incorporates a comprehensive methodological approach, including theoretical models and a series of experiments that assess variables such as pressure drop, mass flow rate, and temperature change. These methodologies enabled the quantification of the system efficiency through a range of COP values observed from 0.02 to 1.78, demonstrating a progressive improvement in performance. The empirical data revealed the system's ability to achieve cooling effects down to -3.5°C, highlighting its potential for small-scale refrigeration in remote areas. A 22.12% average percent difference indicates that the current mathematical model for estimating COP shows some precision but leaves room for improvement. This discrepancy is significant because it suggests that the model does not fully account for all factors such as environmental variables. To enhance the model’s accuracy, further research should focus on incorporating additional variables and refining the methodology.

Published: January 2025

Fire disasters cause significant physical and emotional trauma worldwide, resulting in the loss of thousands of lives and billions of dollars in property damage. Delayed detection and reporting of fire incidents lead to slower response times, exacerbating the impact of fires. This study presents a video-based fire detection method integrated with a Geographic Information System (GIS)-based reporting platform aimed at enhancing real-world firefighting efforts. The fire detection method employed a hybrid approach, combining rule-based fire detection with a trained Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. The rule-based method utilized motion and color-based segmentation techniques, while the SVM classifier was trained using the chromatic and temporal features of fire objects. Test results showed that the module could detect fire in video streams with an overall classification accuracy of 99.66%, along with precision and recall rates of 99.38% and 99.97%, respectively, supported by an F1-score of 99.68%. This approach demonstrated excellent performance in predicting fires with minimal false alarms. Additionally, the GIS-based platform provides real-time information to responding agencies, further enhancing the effectiveness of firefighting operations.

Published: January 2025

Chitin, a widely abundant biopolymer from insects and crustaceans, along with effective microorganisms (EM), was evaluated for its potential to reduce wastewater pollutants, particularly biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5). This study attempted to address the gap in cost-effective and environmentally friendly wastewater treatment methods. The objective of this study was to assess the combined effect of chitin and EM on BOD5 reduction and other contaminants. Wastewater samples were treated with chitin and EM mixtures, and BOD5 was measured after a five-day incubation at 20 °C. Results showed a significant reduction in BOD5 from 319 to 11 mg/L, after immediate application of the chitin-containing EM in combination with aeration-supplied microdiffusers and moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR), with an additional decrease in pollutant levels, indicating improved water quality. This approach demonstrated the potential of using chitin and EM with micro diffusers and MBBR for enhanced wastewater treatment and ecosystem protection, especially in river systems where severe pollution is indicated by BOD5 values exceeding 8 mg/L. The findings provide a foundation for sustainable bioremediation practices. Such technology could be considered sustainable and productive for the agricultural sector and the environment, in general since both chitin and EM are renewable and biologically safe and secured.

Authors: Pazmiño Méndez Francisco Washington , Sacoto Ramírez Marco Antonio , Cevallos Gorozabel Elizabeth Mercedes
Published: January 2025

El presente articulo analiza las causas, efectos y propagación de las crisis financieras y sus implicaciones en la estabilidad económica global. Mediante el método descriptivo, se exploran crisis significativas como la Gran Depresión de 1929, la Crisis Financiera Asiática de 1997 y la Crisis de 2008, identificando factores estructurales como el exceso de apalancamiento, la especulación y las fallas en la regulación. Estos factores han hecho del sistema económico mundial un entorno vulnerable a crisis recurrentes que afectan tanto a economías desarrolladas como emergentes. Se discuten las repercusiones de estas crisis, como las recesiones, el aumento en la desigualdad económica y la desconfianza en las instituciones financieras. Además, se analiza cómo la globalización financiera facilita la rápida propagación de estas crisis, amplificando sus efectos negativos en países más vulnerables. Aunque los organismos internacionales y los gobiernos han implementado reformas regulatorias y políticas de estabilización, estas medidas han resultado insuficientes para prevenir nuevas crisis. Este análisis sugiere que una mayor resiliencia económica puede lograrse mediante la diversificación productiva, la regulación robusta y una colaboración internacional efectiva. Tales estrategias podrían reducir el impacto de futuras crisis financieras y fortalecer la estabilidad económica global.

Published: January 2025

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is crucial for enhancing surgical outcomes and enabling breast conservation in locally advanced breast adenocarcinoma, which is often inoperable. This prospective cohort study aimed to evaluate the clinic-pathological response and breast conservation rates in patients with locally advanced breast cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The patients were administered chemotherapy according to a standard protocol and were followed until their surgical outcome. Out of a total of 90 patients with locally advanced breast cancer, 78 were eligible for neoadjuvant therapy. These patients, with a mean (SD) age of 47.5 (9.4) years, were included in the study. Nearly half (52.6%) were post-menopausal; 55% (n = 43) had right breast involvement, and 57.7% (n = 45) had invasive lobular carcinoma. Approximately 47.43% of patients demonstrated a complete clinical response. In comparison, only 37% achieved a pathological complete response, which was not associated with the oestrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, or human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 status (p > 0.05). Patients who achieved a complete clinical response had a higher likelihood of undergoing breast‑conserving surgery (p 0.05). The study observed that breast conservation rates were improved with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. These findings may assist clinicians in improving treatment outcomes for patients with locally advanced breast cancer

Published: January 2025

The aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of physical therapy and massage methods for reducing pain symptoms in patients with chronic myofascial pain syndrome, the duration of which was at least 12 weeks. The main focus was on eliminating pain trigger points and long-term muscle relaxation around the affected areas. The study involved 20 patients who complained of chronic pain accompanied by limited joint mobility, in particular temporomandibular joints, discomfort while chewing and episodic attacks of acute pain. The patients were prescribed a 12-week course of treatment, which consisted of weekly physical therapy and massage sessions aimed at reducing muscle tension and improving joint mobility. During the course, three sessions were held per week, each lasting 45 to 60 minutes. Physical therapy included exercises aimed at strengthening muscles and stretching myofascial tissues to facilitate movement. Massage techniques included deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and manual therapy aimed at relaxing tight muscles around the temporomandibular joint and reducing pain trigger points. The results of the study showed a significant reduction in pain intensity after treatment: the average pain score on the visual analogue scale decreased from 7.8 ± 0.9 to 2.3 ± 0.7 at rest and from 8.1 ± 1.1 to 3.1 ± 0.8 during exercise (p 0.01). In addition, the amplitude of mouth opening increased from 27 ± 3 to 39 ± 4 mm (p 0.01), indicating improved joint mobility, and the functional activity score on the Helkimo scale improved from 3.5 to 1.2 (p 0.01), indicating an overall reduction in symptoms and improvement in joint function. Six months after completion of the treatment, 85% of patients maintained a stable therapeutic effect: 12% of patients had complete pain relief, and 5% had low-level pain. Also, the restoration of normal muscle function was recorded in 80% of patients, improved joint flexibility and correction of postural position in 75% of cases
Achievements in molecular biology: CRISPR/Cas9 in gene therapy (literature review)
Authors: Voroshchuk Oleksii , Yaremchuk Olha
Published: January 2025

CRISPR/Cas9 provides high precision and efficiency in altering genetic sequences, therefore significant in gene therapy. Mutations can be corrected, pathological genes can be removed, and the functional ability of proteins can be restored by CRISPR/Cas9. The review aimed to analyse the possibilities of using gene editing technology to treat cancer, genetic, and infectious diseases in the available studies published in 2013-2024. This publication analysed the use of CRISPR/Cas9 in experimental models for treating Duchenne muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anaemia, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and cancer. In Duchenne muscular dystrophy, genome editing helps increase the level of utrophin, which compensates for the dystrophin deficiency. In cystic fibrosis, CRISPR/Cas9 is used to correct defects in the CFTR gene, and in human immunodeficiency virus therapy, it is used to remove proviral deoxyribonucleic acid from infected cells. However, the technology also has certain limitations, such as the risk of off-target changes in the genome and the difficulty of delivering CRISPR/Cas9 into cells. Therefore, in 2024, CRISPR/Cas9 requires further improvement in clinical practice. CRISPR/Cas9 has great potential to change the approach to the treatment of incurable diseases in the future. The practical value of the study conducted by the authors is the presentation of a ready-made summary of the CRISPR/Cas9 system and a thorough analysis of the results of its use in the treatment of various diseases, which can be used to assess what prospects this technology has for future use

Authors: Alek Saputra  , Redian Mulyadita
Published: January 2025

Masjid memiliki peran sentral dalam kehidupan umat Islam, tidak hanya sebagai tempat ibadah, tetapi juga sebagai pusat kegiatan sosial, pendidikan, dan ekonomi. Rasulullah Saw. telah memberikan teladan dengan membangun masjid sebagai langkah awal dalam mempersatukan umat Islam di Madinah. Tradisi ini dilanjutkan oleh para khalifah, yang menjadikan pembangunan masjid sebagai prioritas dalam setiap wilayah yang ditaklukkan. Indonesia, dengan populasi muslim terbesar di dunia, memiliki 299.644 masjid dan 364.085 mushalla. Namun, potensi besar ini belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal untuk memperkuat ekonomi umat Islam. Masjid, yang berada dekat dengan masyarakat akar rumput, seharusnya berperan sebagai motor penggerak ekonomi umat. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kajian pustaka dengan menganalisis literatur, kitab tafsir, dan dokumen resmi, serta kajian teks Al-Qur'an untuk menggali konsep masjid sebagai pusat kegiatan umat Islam. Ayat-ayat Al-Qur'an, seperti QS. At-Taubah: 18 dan QS. Al-Baqarah: 125, serta hadis Nabi Muhammad Saw., menunjukkan bahwa masjid tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai tempat ibadah, tetapi juga sebagai pusat pendidikan, sosial, dan ekonomi. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa dengan jumlah masjid yang besar di Indonesia, terdapat peluang besar untuk menjadikannya sebagai penggerak ekonomi umat melalui pengelolaan zakat, wakaf produktif, koperasi masjid, dan pemberdayaan usaha mikro. Namun, hal ini memerlukan pengelolaan yang profesional dan transparan, termasuk pelatihan manajemen, penyusunan program ekonomi berbasis masjid, serta optimalisasi teknologi digital. Reorientasi peran masjid ini diharapkan dapat menjadi solusi strategis dalam pemberdayaan masyarakat muslim secara berkelanjutan.

Authors: Selimović Semir
Published: January 2025

Regional incineration process by regional landfill site Mošćanica is a chance for municipality of Zenica and municipalities nearby. The obligations of the municipality towards EU regulations could be fulfilled by building one incinerator plant. Current waste management strategies and (role beaks) adopted for dumping waste by Bosnia and Herzegovina, Federation of BiH is not sufficient. Currently, 30 to 60 percent of total regional waste is being gathered and deposited. Full implementation of recycling waste will not be possible for a longer period of time, as it is only in it's development phase. Even after completing this recycling phase, there will be enough waste to get incinerated in a plant. Huge amounts of waste are being deposited in regional landfill sites. To extend the life of these regional landfill sites, all this waste should get treated afterwards. Distance
heating of the city, the production of electricity necessary for this process, electricity and heat for industrial plants, as well as efficiency, could be achieved by using this kind of solution of waste management.

A biomechanical perspective on the relationship between basketball performance and college students’ physical and mental health: An integrated analysis of athletic performance and psychological regulation
Authors: Wang Wei
Published: January 2025

This study delves into the integration of biomechanics in analyzing basketball performance and its profound impact on the physical and mental health of college students. By focusing on biomechanical factors influencing athletic performance, the research investigates how basketball, as a dynamic physical activity, contributes to improving physical fitness and mental well-being. Through advanced biomechanical analysis, the study examines key aspects such as joint kinematics, muscle activation patterns, and force distribution during basketball movements like jumping, running, and shooting. These insights provide a deeper understanding of how proper body mechanics—such as optimized alignment, enhanced movement efficiency, and effective load management—can elevate athletic performance and reduce the risk of injuries. The research further explores the relationship between students’ physical fitness and mental health, identifying prevalent psychological challenges among college students, including anxiety, depression, and interpersonal sensitivity. By integrating biomechanical evaluations with psychological assessments, the study highlights how the optimization of movement mechanics in basketball can promote physical endurance and agility while fostering psychological resilience and reducing stress. For example, improvements in core stability and proprioception not only enhance sports performance but also support mental clarity and emotional regulation. The findings advocate for incorporating biomechanics-informed physical education programs, particularly those centered on basketball, into university curricula. Such programs could utilize technologies like motion capture systems and wearable sensors to monitor and improve students’ biomechanical efficiency while simultaneously addressing their psychological needs through structured physical activities. This integrated approach underscores the dual benefits of sports for physical and mental health, providing actionable insights into how biomechanics can be leveraged to optimize athletic performance and promote holistic well-being among college students.
