Authors: Zha Wenting , Li Xueyan , Du Yijun , Liang Yingyu
Published: December 2024

Interval prediction is to predict the range of power prediction intervals, which can guide electricity production and usage better. To improve further improve the performance of the prediction interval, this paper aims to investigate he wind power interval prediction method based on the lower and upper bound evaluation (LUBE). Firstly, an improved loss function is proposed, which transforms multi-objective optimization problems into single-objective optimization with guidance of mathematical derivation. Afterward, the interval prediction results can be further improved through a combination of graph convolutional network (GCN) and gate recurrent unit (GRU). Then, the tree-structured Parzen estimator (TPE) optimization algorithm optimizes the GCN cell to find the optimal parameter configuration and maximize the performance of the model. Finally, in the experimental part, the proposed GCN-GRU with improved loss function is compared with some current mainstream neural networks. The results show that for any type of network, the improved loss function can obtain prediction intervals with better performance. Especially for the prediction interval based on GCN-GRU, the prediction interval normalized average width (PINAW) and prediction interval relative deviation (PIRD) can reach 6.75% and 46.99%, respectively, while ensuring the given prediction interval nominal confidence (PINC).

In this paper, the semi-floating liquid bridge model with the silicone oil-based ferromagnetic fluid under microgravity was taken as the research object. The enhanced level set method was employed to numerically monitor the free surface flow characteristics, utilizing a staggered grid. The internal flow, temperature, velocity and interface deformation of thermocapillary convection under a uniform axial magnetic field were studied by direct numerical simulation. The results show that the transverse development of thermocapillary convection is suppressed by the axial uniform magnetic field, and the cell flow is controlled near the free surface. The average axial velocity was increased by about three times, and the average radial velocity was increased by about two times. The average axial temperature near the free surface was much higher than that on other radii. The axial temperature level of the surface flow was improved under of the influence of a uniform axial magnetic field. The axial temperature gradient in the central area of the liquid bridge basically showed the same change rule. The closer to the hot disk of the liquid bridge, the larger the axial temperature gradient. In addition, the axial uniform magnetic field effectively suppressed the micro-deformation of the free interface, and the free surface micro-deformation was at an order of magnitude of 10−5 (the deformation of the free surface in thermocapillary convection within a liquid bridge without a magnetic field was at an order of magnitude of 10−4). Therefore, studying the influence of the axial magnetic field on the thermocapillary convection of a high Prandtl number fluid can provide the necessary theoretical support for the development of crystal preparation technology.
Optimal Weigh-in-Motion Planning for Multiple Stakeholders
Authors: Jung Yunkyeong , Lee Jinwoo
Published: December 2024

Overloaded trucks contribute heavily to road damage and increased maintenance costs, and Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) systems are an effective tool for detecting them without disrupting traffic flow. However, overloaded truck drivers often adjust their routes to avoid WIM stations, complicating enforcement efforts for road management stakeholders. To address these challenges, this study integrates the strategic behaviors of multiple stakeholders with diverse objectives into optimal WIM planning by modeling interactions among the government, pavement management agencies, and drivers. The authorities are responsible for WIM installation, while drivers minimize their respective travel costs. The proposed approach considers both road maintenance costs incurred by authorities and travel costs for drivers, based on a traffic assignment model for each WIM installation strategy. Basic concepts from game theory are adopted to formalize the dynamic interactions among these stakeholders.

Agricultural pesticides may play a crucial role in the selection of resistance in field populations of mosquito vectors. This study aimed to determine the susceptibility level of An. gambiae s.l. to pyrethroids and neonicotinoids in vegetable farms in northern Benin, in West Africa, and the underlying insecticide resistance mechanisms. A survey on agricultural practices was carried out on 85 market gardeners chosen randomly in Malanville and Parakou. Anopheles gambiae s.l. larvae were collected, reared to adult stages, and identified to species level. Susceptibility was tested with impregnated papers (WHO bioassays) or CDC bottles according to the insecticides. Synergists (PBO, DEM, and DEF) were used to screen resistance mechanisms. Allelic frequencies of the kdr (L1014F), kdr (L1014S), N1575Y, and ace-1R G119S mutations were determined in mosquitoes using Taqman PCR. Fertilizers and pesticides were the agrochemicals most used with a rate of 97.78% and 100%, respectively, in Malanville and Parakou. Anopheles coluzzii was the predominant species in Malanville, while An. gambiae was the only species found in Parakou. Bioassays revealed a high resistance of An. gambiae s.l. to pyrethroids and DDT, while a susceptibility to bendiocarb, pyrimiphos-methyl, malathion, and clothianidin was recorded. Resistance to acetamiprid was suspected in mosquitoes from both localities. A lower resistance level was observed when mosquitoes were pre-treated with synergists, then exposed to insecticides. The kdr L1014F mutation was observed in both locations at moderate frequencies (0.50 in Malanville and 0.55 in Parakou). The allelic frequencies of N1575Y and G119S were low in both study sites. This study confirmed the resistance of An. gambiae s.l. to insecticides used in agriculture and public health. It reveals a susceptibility of vectors to bendiocarb, pyrimiphos-methyl, malathion, and clothianidin, thus indicating that these insecticides can be used as an alternative in Benin to control malaria vectors.

Authors: Feldman Noa , Bitan Michal , Alayev Maya , Tal Orna
Published: December 2024

Background and Objectives: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Israel prioritized pregnant women for vaccination, recognizing them as a high-risk group. This study aims to explore factors influencing the acceptance of Influenza, Pertussis (T-dap), and COVID-19 vaccines among pregnant women, focusing on attitudes, social norms, perceived control, and risk perceptions. Additionally, the study compares acceptance patterns between traditional vaccines and the newer COVID-19 vaccine. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted between December 2019 and December 2021 involving 449 predominantly Israeli pregnant women. A survey was administered to gather data on demographics, obstetric history, vaccination history, and factors influencing vaccination decisions. Results: COVID-19 vaccine uptake was the highest at 64% (202/314), followed by T-dap at 49% (221/449) and Influenza at 32% (146/449). Multivariable logistic regression showed that non-religious women and those with academic education were more likely to accept vaccines, especially the COVID-19 vaccine. Physician recommendations were the most influential factor in vaccine acceptance, while internet and media sources played a significant role in shaping COVID-19 vaccine decisions. Perceived risks varied: Whooping Cough was seen as the greatest threat to newborns, while COVID-19 posed the highest risk to mothers. Analyzing maternal and neonatal disease perception using multivariable linear regression, we found that information on maternal and neonatal Flu, Whooping Cough, and COVID-19 was significantly positively correlated with disease perception for each condition. Conclusions: Healthcare providers play a crucial role in influencing vaccine decisions, especially through personalized communication. Strategies targeting religious communities and leveraging media can help address vaccine hesitancy, ultimately improving maternal and neonatal health outcomes.

Published: December 2024

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) remains the most prevalent sexually transmitted infection in the United States (U.S.). By the age of 45, over 80% of Americans will contract HPV, which creates a significant public health concern. Despite the availability of effective vaccines, low vaccination uptake continues to be a challenge, particularly in Tennessee. Additionally, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recently expanded recommendations for HPV vaccine usage to include adults aged 27–45, suggesting a population with the potential to experience a gap in preventative care. To understand the underlying factors that may hinder Tennesseans from receiving the HPV vaccine, we conducted a cross-sectional survey from 29 June to 17 August 2023 among adults aged 18 to 45 in Tennessee. The survey was developed and informed by a scoping review regarding the various constructs and frameworks used in vaccine hesitancy and our previous qualitative work. Using theory-based instruments and previous qualitative data, this study aimed to determine the underlying factors that may hinder Tennesseans from receiving the HPV vaccine, focusing on those adults within the recently approved age range of 27–45 years old. Methods: An Exploratory Factor Analysis of 2011 participants ultimately included five factors, which explain 70.3% of the variability. These were Benefits/Trust, Perceived Susceptibility, Attitude/Behavioral Control, Perceived Barriers, and Perceived Severity. All Cronbach alphas were greater than 0.80, indicating that each factor was reliable. Results: When stratifying by various demographics, our analysis found that race emerged as a significant factor (p = 0.002), while the interaction of race and vaccination status was not significant (p = 0.753). Black respondents had significantly lower levels of Benefits/Trust than White (p < 0.001) and Asian respondents (p = 0.030), with no significant differences between White and Asian respondents. Conclusions: These findings underscore the importance of researchers, healthcare professionals, public health officials, and policymakers in addressing these demographic differences to effectively increase vaccination rates and reduce HPV-associated cancer risks in Tennessee. Further studies are needed for targeted interventions to address these disparities.

Authors: Ware Hiyaw Hatiya , Chang Sun Woo , Lee Jeong Eun , Chung Il-Moon
Published: December 2024

Multi-purpose dams in a river basin frequently result in variations in downstream flow. Precisely assessing the reservoir operation effects can improve management strategies and alleviate extreme hydrological events. This study assesses the impact of reservoir operation scenarios on the downstream flow in the Seomjin River basin in South Korea. Four reservoir scenarios were developed utilizing observed daily inflow and outflow data from the reservoirs. A semi-disturbed hydrological model, SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool), was employed to simulate the flow for each reservoir operation scenario in the downstream section of the study basin. Model execution was evaluated by comparing the simulated and measured streamflows using performance metrics, including R2, NSE, and PIBAS, which displayed very good compatibility. The sensitivity of calibration parameters varied across different reservoir operation scenarios. The results of this study indicate that the operation scenarios for the Seomjin and Juam reservoirs led to a maximum downstream flow reduction of 32%. Additionally, the monsoon season exhibited a lower percentage reduction in flow compared to the dry season, which was influenced by the frequency of rainfall in the region. Annual assessment indicated that streamflow reduction varies between 1.35% and 32.9% across all reservoir operation scenarios. Reservoir operations have demonstrated their effect on the alteration of downstream flow in the Seomjin River basin. This study demonstrates that the operation of the Seomjin reservoir has a more significant impact on downstream flow than that of the Juam reservoir in the study region. This study analyzed a substantial basin with various reservoir operation scenarios to assess the influence of flow on the downstream section, yielding important insights for efficient water resource management.

Tefsirde Tenevvü‘ İhtilafı Bağlamında Furkân Sûresi 43. Âyetin Yorumu
Authors: Sümer İdris Sami
Published: December 2024

Bu çalışmada Furkân Sûresinin 43. âyeti, tenevvü‘ ihtilafı bağlamında inceleme konusu yapılmıştır. Tefsir ilminde manada çeşitliliği ve zenginliği ifade eden tenevvü ihtilafı, bir âyetin birbirini reddetmeyen muhtelif yorumlarla açıklanmasını ifade eder. Türkçe Kur’an meâllerinde birkaç istisna dışında ‘‘Hevâsını kendisine ilâh edineni gördün mü…? şeklinde çevrilen Furkân 43. âyeti, bu anlamı da muhtevi olmakla birlikte ‘‘İlahını hevâ edeni gördün mü…? manasını da haizdir. Bu sebeple müfessir Elmalılı âyeti, ‘‘Gördün mü o ilâhını hevâsı ittihaz edeni…? şeklinde çevirmiştir. Âyetin anlamı için başvurduğumuz tefsirlerin bir kısmı da bu manayı tercih etmiştir. Fakat Türkçe Kur’an meâllerinin ekserisinin âyeti, ‘‘Hevâsını kendisine ilâh edineni gördün mü…? şeklinde çevirmeleri, âyetin gramatik dizilimine göre ilk anlamı olan ‘‘İlâhını hevâ edeni gördün mü’’ manasını aktarmaktan uzak kalmıştır. Tefsirlerin birçoğunun ve Türkçe meâllerin de neredeyse tamamının tercih ettiği, ‘‘hevâsını ilâh edinmek’’ manası, kişinin benliğini/egosunu ilâhı kılması anlamına gelmektedir. ‘‘İlahı hevâ kılmak’’ ifadesi ise kişinin, hiçbir ‘‘değerinin’’ olmadığına, edindiği/tapındığı ilâhları bile yeri geldiği zaman çiğneyip geçtiğine işaret etmektedir. Bu mana, insan benliğinin şiddetli arzularına işaret eden daha güçlü bir ifadedir. Kur’an bu âyet ile insanın sınırsız olma arzusuna dikkat çekmiş ve bu arzuyu eleştiri konusu yapmıştır. İşte bu sebeple çalışma, cümle tertibine göre âyetin ilk anlamı olan ve kanaatimizce daha kapsamlı bir manaya işaret eden ‘‘ilâhını hevâ etmek’’ mefhumunu tenevvü‘ ihtilafı bağlamında ortaya koymaya çalışacaktır. Çalışma nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden doküman inceleme desenine göre yürütülmüş olup araştırma sonucunda elde edilen veriler bilimsel bir üslupla betimsel tahlile tabi tutulmuştur. Analiz sonucunda elde edilen bulgular veri değerlendirme metodu ile sonuç kısmında kısaca özet halde değerlendirilmiştir.
A Digital Simulation Game for Resource Management in Construction Projects
Authors: Elenany Yara , Ahmed Vian
Published: December 2024

The construction industry is on the verge of a digital transformation. Consequently, the gap widens between industry demands and fresh graduate capabilities. Therefore, there is a pressing need for a paradigm shift in the teaching approach for construction management education. To meet both industry demands and student expectations, Game-Based Learning (GBL) can substantially enhance both technical and transferable skills for digital-native students who struggle with traditional teaching methods. Although the body of knowledge recognizes GBL in general, their utilization remains limited in construction management. Moreover, there is little discussion on the design process of educational games. To address these gaps, this study adopted a unique approach to educational game design by developing a time-management strategy game about resource management in construction projects with unpredictable events. This paper presents the game design process and evaluation results of a single-player digital game called ‘Always Under Stress’ developed using the Godot game engine. The goal of the game is to introduce resource management in construction projects and its associated challenges. The design and development steps, game engine, and workflow are discussed in-depth in relation to the learning objectives. In addition, this study explains how elements of randomness in educational game design can be used to challenge students’ planning and adaptability skills. Various stakeholders (n = 31), comprising of students, professors, and industry professionals, were invited to evaluate the game across six dimensions of educational game design. Results revealed positive reception towards the developed prototype regarding educational value and critical comments regarding user experience and onboarding for beginners. The findings of this study provide invaluable guidelines, considerations and lessons learned for prospective educational game designers and researchers.

Authors: Muliadi  , Maulani  , Karim Abdul , Wasik Abdul , Qaaf Muhammad Alfath
Published: December 2024

This study aims to examine the interaction between intellectual and spiritual aspects in the Naqsyabandiyah Khalidiyah order and its impact on the self-actualisation and morality of the congregation. This study uses a qualitative approach with an interpretivism paradigm, focusing on the spiritual and social experiences of followers of the Naqsyabandiyah Khalidiyah Order. The study was conducted at the Naqsybandiyah Khalidiyah congregation foundation in Medan, North Sumatera, Indonesia. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was done by reduction, narrative presentation, and triangulation for validity testing. Self-actualisation through tariqah, especially in the Naqsyabandiyah Khalidiyah Order tradition, integrates intellectual and spiritual dimensions. Sheikh Kadirun Yahya developed an approach combining exact sciences with spirituality, emphasising the importance of intellectual development through an understanding of metaphysics, psychology, and deep sufism practices. This order teaches that self-actualisation depends on fulfilling physical needs and increasing spiritual awareness that connects individuals with God. Thus, Tarīqah's followers develop spiritual potential and enrich their intellect to achieve a more holistic balance in life. The implication for Islamic education is the importance of integrating intellectual and spiritual dimensions in learning. Further research suggests exploring the application of Sheikh Kadirun Yahya's teachings in Islamic education to develop students' potential holistically, both in spiritual and intellectual aspects.

Authors:   Universidad Santiago de Cali, Rojas Juan Sebastián
Published: December 2024

Algunas obras de Roberto Bolaño se fundan en la mezcla entre literatura erudita y paraliteratura. Este encuentro entre aquellos dos géneros, revela una manera particular de abordar la literatura menor. Consideramos las expresiones de lo menor como espacios de experimentación y comentario sobre la literatura. Gran conocedor de la paraliteratura, el autor se apropia de sus códigos para enseguida transgredirlos y agregarles elementos de comentario sobre la literatura, que encuentran en la paraliteratura un territorio de expansión perfectamente libre
Development of Semut Island Ecotourism in Limbungan Village, Pekanbaru City: Pentahelix Model Approach
Authors: Fatmawati Fatmawati , Andriani Roza
Published: December 2024

The tourism sector plays a vital role in enhancing the economic growth of a community. Effective tourism development requires collaboration not only from the government but also among academics, businesses, local communities, and the media. Such collaboration fosters public awareness of the importance of tourism and helps optimize existing tourism potential. Pekanbaru City, for example, possesses significant tourism development opportunities rooted in local culture, one of which is Semut Island. However, local communities face challenges in developing ecotourism, which can hinder their economic activities. This study addresses the urgent need to explore these obstacles. The aim of this research is to analyze the collaboration among the various stakeholders in the pentahelix model as they work towards developing ecotourism at Semut Island in Limbungan Village, Pekanbaru City. This study employs qualitative methods and involves stakeholders from academia, business, local communities, government, and the media as informants. Data is collected using purposive sampling, a technique that helps researchers select informants who are relevant to the study's theme. The findings indicate that collaboration among stakeholders in the pentahelix model is functioning effectively, with each group fulfilling its respective role in developing Semut Island's ecotourism. However, there is a need for improved collaboration and coordination among these actors to ensure the ongoing success of Semut Island ecotourism and to effectively stimulate the economic growth of the local community.
Effects of a Motor Cortex Neuromodulation Approach on Neuromotor and Neurocognitive Performance in Latinx People with HIV
Authors: Rosario Marti­n G.
Published: December 2024

Background: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection has been known to impact both motor and cognitive systems and cause motor and cognitive alterations (MCAs). Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), mainly when applied to the prefrontal cortex, has shown promising results in improving gait, balance, and executive functions in individuals with HIV. Previous studies suggest that integrating a task designed to stimulate higher cognitive centers in combination with tDCS could potentially enhance these effects. Purpose: The objective of this study was to investigate whether the combination of tDCS with a tracking task, when applied to the prefrontal cortex, effectively enhances reaction time and HIV dementia scale (HDS) scores (motor-cognitive) components in individuals living with HIV. Methods: The study involved nine female and one male participants living with HIV, with an average age of 58.9 Â± 4.3 years. To assess the impact of tDCS on RT and motor cognition, each participant was evaluated both before and after the administration of tDCS with the HDS. Participants' primary goal for the reaction time components was to respond quickly and accurately to color changes by tapping the pod that lit up green. This task was performed while applying tDCS to the prefrontal cortex, allowing researchers to focus simultaneously on cognitive reaction speeds and the physical effects of neuromodulation. Results: Upon analysis, significant differences were noted between pre and post-tDCS of the HDS scores. The data further revealed substantial improvements in reaction time, hits, and strikes after the tDCS application. Conclusion: The results of this study demonstrated that tDCS can potentially improve neurocognitive and motor function in individuals with HIV. However, the study recommends that tDCS treatments be applied over a more extended period than in this study.

RESUMO
O levantamento do assoalho do seio maxilar (LSM) é uma técnica amplamente utilizada na implantodontia para corrigir a perda óssea na região posterior da maxila, geralmente causada pela pneumatização do seio maxilar após a perda dentária. Essa técnica, introduzida nos anos 1970, tornou-se essencial para viabilizar a instalação de implantes dentários em áreas de volume ósseo reduzido.  A abordagem de janela lateral, uma das mais comuns, apresenta um baixo índice de complicações. No entanto, a perfuração da membrana de Schneider é a complicação mais frequente, ocorrendo em até 44% dos casos. A membrana perfurada pode comprometer a função fisiológica do seio maxilar, causando sinusite, infecções ou perda do material enxertado. Além disso, fatores anatômicos, como a presença de septos e a espessura da parede lateral do seio, aumentam o risco de perfurações.  Para mitigar esses riscos, é essencial um planejamento pré-operatório detalhado. A tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico permite avaliar as condições do seio maxilar, identificando fatores de risco como a presença de vasos cruzados e a espessura da membrana. Quando a perfuração ocorre, técnicas de reparo com membranas reabsorvíveis ou abandono temporário do procedimento podem ser necessárias.Complicações precoces, como infecção e deiscência de sutura, podem impactar os resultados em longo prazo. Por isso, é crucial que o cirurgião-dentista esteja atento a esses fatores e a sua gestão adequada, garantindo a segurança e eficácia do tratamento.
