Published: January 2025

To address the challenges associated with garlic single-seed extraction, including seed damage, blockages, and the inefficiency of directional placement for irregularly shaped garlic seeds, an air-suction seed metering device, integrated with image recognition and orientation technology, was developed. The working principle of the product is expounded, and comprehensive analysis and design of key components—such as the seed dispenser, directional needle, and combined suction block—are presented. A test bench was constructed using Jinxiang hybrid garlic as the experimental material, with the negative pressure in the air chamber, the rotation speed of the seed dispenser, and seed quantity in the seed chamber as the primary experimental factors. The performance indicators included the single seed rate, cavitation rate, and double grain rate. A three-factor, five-level orthogonal design was employed to assess the effects of each factor and their interactions on the single seed rate. The optimal operating parameters for garlic species A, B, and C were identified as follows: the negative pressure in the air chamber was 11.85 kPa, 12.03 kPa, and 13.21 kPa, respectively; the rotation speed of the seed dispenser was 7.13 r/min, 6.85 r/min, and 7.25 r/min, respectively; and the seed quantity in the seed chamber was 138.97 mm, 140.90 mm, and 141.24 mm, respectively. The corresponding single seed rates were 95.98%, 96.50%, and 96.23%, respectively. Under these optimal operating conditions, the study further explored the effects of the positional parameters of garlic seeds of different grades, as well as the positional parameters of the directional needle, on the preliminary directional performance. The optimal positional parameters were subsequently determined. The results of this study offer critical insights and establish conditions for the intelligent orientation of garlic planting machines.

In view of the serious pollution of traditional fuel machinery in facility agriculture production, in order to facilitate the operation of tractors in greenhouses, in this study, a small tracked electric tractor suitable for facility agriculture was designed and analysed. In the early stage of design, the basic frame of pure electric tractor was established, the final chassis layout is determined through force analysis and layout setting; after the three-dimensional modeling of the tractor structure, the finite element analysis using the software Ansys verified that the stiffness and strength of the frame met the design requirements; the dual-motor drive structure was optimized. The maximum deformation of the track chassis frame was 0.685 mm, the maximum equivalent elastic strain of the track chassis frame was 0.0131 mm, and the maximum stress of the track chassis frame was 25.818 MPa, which was less than the yield stress of the selected material of the frame. ADVISOR was used to simulate the electric tractor during rotary ploughing and unladen transport operations. The simulation results showed that the dual-motor drive mode saved more than 20% of energy consumption compared with the single-motor mode and the transmission efficiency was improved by about 17%, which improved the operational efficiency of the tractor, and provided theoretical and data support for the subsequent prototype production.

Published: January 2025

The Creative City concept is community-based sustainable development, social and cultural inclusion, strengthening local identity and supporting the development of insight and creativity. Probolinggo City directs the development of the Creative City concept. However, currently Probolinggo City has not been included in the cities listed in the Creative Word and has not conducted the PMK3I Test. This is interesting to conduct a depth study. This research is designed as a descriptive quantitative approach and supported by data processing with SEMPLS. The attitude variable has a negative influence on the development intention variable. The variables that influence intention positively and significantly in this study are subjective norms, behavioural control, and readiness to change. It can be concluded that there are two variables from the Theory of Planned Behaviour and Readiness to Change variables that have an influence on the intention to develop a creative city in Probolinggo City. In addition, there is one variable from TPB, namely the attitude variable that does not have a significant influence on the intention to develop a Creative City in Probolinggo City.

Published: January 2025

Human rights in business involve the respect of employees, communities, and other stakeholders. Though these rights are guaranteed by international laws, however, there seems to be a gridlock concerning the implementation, and enforcement in the business environment. Hence, this study adopts a hybrid method of study concerning the challenges of implementation and enforcement of international laws as they concern human rights in business. 302 questionnaires were distributed to respondents residing in Uganda, the data obtained were analyzed through descriptive and analytical approaches. The study found that there are international laws that tend to provide for and regulate human rights in business. However, there are legal and socio-economic challenges concerning the implementation and enforcement of these laws. These in essence negate fair labor practices, and respect for cultural and indigenous rights in place of business. It was therefore concluded and recommended that for effective sustenance and protection of human rights in a business, there is a need for effective implementation and enforcement of those rights provided for by international laws.
Hak asasi manusia (HAM) dalam bisnis mewajibkan adanya penghormatan terhadap hak-hak karyawan, masyarakat, dan pihak-pihak terkait yang memiliki kepentingan. Meskipun hak-hak ini dijamin oleh hukum internasional, namun, tampaknya ada kebuntuan terkait implementasi dan penegakan hukum di bidang aktivitas bisnis. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian hukum campuran mengenai tantangan implementasi dan penegakan hukum internasional yang berkaitan dengan HAM dalam bisnis. Penelitian ini menggunakan kuisioner yang disebarkan dan melibatkan 302 responden di Uganda. Data yang diperoleh dalam kuisioner tersebut kemudian dianalisis melalui pendekatan deskriptif dan analitis. Penelitian ini menemukan fakta bahwa hukum internasional telah mengatur mengatur hak-hak asasi manusia dalam aktifitas bisnis. Namun, persoalan hukum dan sosial-ekonomi terkait implementasi dan penegakan hukum terhadapnya masih saja terjadi. Tantangan tersebut pada intinya berpotensi meniadakan praktik pemenuhan hak-hak di bidang ketenagakerjaan yang adil, dan penghormatan terhadap hak-hak budaya dan masyarakat adat di tempat bisnis. Oleh karena itu, dapat disimpulkan dan direkomendasikan bahwa demi keberlanjutan dan perlindungan HAM yang efektif dalam dunia bisnis, harus diupayakan penegakan dan pengimplementasian hak-hak yang maksimal berkaitan dengan hak para pekerja dan pihak terkait sebagaimana telah diatur dalam instrument hukum HAM internasional.

Social Relations between Muslim and Christian Communities: A Study of Living Hadith in Rejoagung Village Jember Regency
Authors: Kasman Kasman , Makhrus Makhrus , Syachrizal M. F. Achmadana
Published: January 2025

Abstract: The relationship between Islam and Christianity in Indonesia is often marked by religious conflicts due to a lack of understanding of the fundamental teachings of moderation in both religions. In Rejoagung, a village with a predominantly Protestant Christian population bound by traditional customs, the relationship between the Muslim and Christian communities has distinct origins: Christians through migration and Muslims through marriage. This study aims to examine the lives of the Muslim minority in Rejoagung, focusing on the background of community formation and existing socio-religious relations. Utilizing a qualitative approach and phenomenological method, this research reveals the lived experiences of the Muslim minority in Rejoagung through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings indicate that values of mutual cooperation and humanity are the foundation for interfaith harmony. While there are social interactions such as visiting each other during religious celebrations and interfaith marriages, there remains controversy over Muslim participation in other religious rituals, which Muslim scholars unanimously deem impermissible. In the context of Muslim and Christian relations in Rejoagung, two pertinent hadiths are prevalent: the hadith concerning marriage between Muslims and Alh al-Kitab, and the hadith regarding Muslim involvement in the worship practices of other faiths. These findings demonstrate that despite the strict principles in Islamic teachings regarding certain boundaries, values of humanity and mutual cooperation play a crucial role in fostering and maintaining interfaith harmony in Rejoagung.

Published: January 2025

The QT interval on an electrocardiogram reflects ventricular depolarization and repolarization, with prolonged QTc indicating a defect in myocardial repolarization. This condition increases the risk of arrhythmias, torsade’s de pointes, and sudden cardiac death. We present the case of a 40-year-old female with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction who exhibited persistent QTc prolongation due to hypocalcemia resulting from hypoparathyroidism secondary to a thyroidectomy performed 15 years prior. Management included standard heart failure treatment alongside active vitamin D and calcium supplementation, leading to clinical improvement. This case underscores the importance of early identification and management of secondary causes of QTc prolongation in heart failure patients.

Linguistic Inconsistencies in the Translation of Pericles' Biography: A Case-Based Approach
Authors:   West University of Timisoara, Radu Gabriela
Published: January 2025

Plutarch, the renowned ancient Greek biographer and author of Parallel Lives, provides a detailed account of the Athenian statesman Pericles. Written in the 1st century AD, this biography examines Pericles’ life, achievements, and character within the political and cultural context of classical Greece. Among the few Romanian translations of Plutarch's work, one of the most significant is the version translated by N. I. Barbu, published between 1960 and 1971 by Editura Științifică in Bucharest. This edition includes the translated text, along with introductory and explanatory notes. While praised for its philological detail, the translation has been criticized for inaccuracies and misinterpretations of certain terms. This study identifies and analyzes these errors, offering alternative interpretations that aim to provide a more accurate understanding of the original text.

Mihail Sadoveanu's work highlights a fictional universe in which the characters follow certain social constructs. They consider their adherence to behavioural principles more important than their own opinions and feelings, which they try to hide behind a “mask”. Sometimes, however, these feelings and opinions seep through in the character’s speech and taking multiple forms, one of the fundamental ones being irony. The irony is a disguised form of impoliteness, through which the speakers sanction certain attitudes or gestures that they consider inappropriate. The speakers resort to assumptions, allusions or antiphrasis. With the help of ironic words, speakers demonstrate their critical spirit and moral uprightness, while restoring, through the use of the word with its subtext, the natural order of the world.

Published: January 2025

Medical conversation is learnt during medical studies and important skills for future doctors are acquired in the process. In the lengthy process of learning a foreign language, medical German in this case, it happens at higher levels, such as B2 or C1, that the advantages of complex language handling in concrete use must be emphasized in order to achieve linguistic progress. An analysis of clinical interviews conducted by medical students at the Medical University of Timișoara with standardized patients (actors), in Romanian but also in German, indicates the language use in realistic contexts. The quality of the doctor's turn can influence the diagnosis, patient satisfaction and patient compliance, among other elements. The results of the study emphasize the linguistic expression habits of medical students learning German, for specific purposes, at different stages of their language acquisition. A comparison of the performance, in the case of taking a medical history in conversation with standardized patients in the foreign language, with that in the native language or even with the texts generated by the AI, allows linguistic peculiarities of those involved in the doctor-patient conversation to be highlighted. As a result, the following can be worked on in the further learning process and, thus, the linguistic performance can be nuanced and optimized.
Between Failed Utopias and Positions of Power - (Re)Defining American Sociopolitical and Cultural Values in David Mamet’s Oleanna and The Anarchist
Authors:   West University of Timisoara, Săran Raul
Published: January 2025

Regarded as one of the most appreciated contemporary playwrights in postmodern American literature, David Mamet creates his plays in order to challenge the audience to reflect upon the continuous and fast changes that occur in the American society, both from a sociopolitical and cultural standpoint. From the controversies of political correctness in the academic space to the failures of the criminal justice system, the plays revolve around the idea of power, which determines a new perspective in which the American values are defined and integrated in the public spheres of everyday life. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to analyze and identify the main social, political and cultural elements that Mamet presents in two of his plays, Oleanna and The Anarchist. Through a close reading and an analysis of the action of the two plays, the main purpose of the article is to demonstrate that certain aspects of the cultural space, along with the cultural identity in the United States revolve around power relations, which are determined by a series of elements, reunited under a paradigm that Mamet called a “failed utopia”.
Village formation and peasantry agency. The case study of Gorliz (Bizkaia)
Authors: Campos López Teresa
Published: January 2025

The study of medieval village formation has generated an intense debate throughout Europe regarding the construction of agricultural landscapes, the initiative of the elites, the weight of the lordships or the importance of the peasantry. To evaluate this task, we will become the analysis of the Early Medieval archaeological contexts documented in the town of Gorliz (Biscay, Spain), where early medieval villages appear as true elements gestated from the peasantry in dialogue with different central and local powers. Also we focus on the need to carry out archaeological and historical analysis with a multifocal perspective, so we can overcome the limitations of unilateral approaches, due to a global and holistic strategy
