Effects of Scratch-based activities on 4th-grade students’ computational thinking skills
Authors: Piedade João , Dorotea Nuno
Published: October 2022

Computational Thinking (CT) has emerged in recent years as a thematic trend in education in many countries. initiatives have been developed for its inclusion in school curricula. There are many pedagogical strategies to promote the development of elementary school students’ CT skills and knowledge. Unplugged learning tasks, block-based programming projects, and educational robotics are 3 of the most used strategies. This paper aimed to analyze the effect of Scratch-based activities, developed during one scholar year, on the computational thinking skills developed and concepts achieved by 4th-grade students. The study involved 189 students from two school clusters organized into an experimental group and a control group. To assess students’ computational knowledge, the Beginners Computational Thinking Test developed by Several Zapata-Cáceres et al. (2020) was used. The results indicate statistically significant differences between the groups, in which students in the experimental group (who performed activities with scratch) scored higher on the test than students in the control group (who did not use Scratch).
O suplício do corpo como instrumento do poder soberano
Authors: Roque Marcia Cristina
Published: October 2022

Neste ensaio, pretende-se analisar a obra Água de Barrela, da escritora e jornalista Eliana Alves Cruz, como uma fonte de representação das relações de poder durante o Brasil Império e que promoveram situações de tortura e encarceramento de escravizados africanos. Sendo a literatura ficção, não se pode tomá-la como verdade, mas, sim, como uma possibilidade de realidade a partir do conceito de representação do historiador Roger Chartier (1999). Dessa maneira, as cenas que retratam o período foram destacadas e analisadas a fim de verificar, através da literatura, como a narrativa se compõe e registra tais relações de poder. Para tanto, foram mobilizadas as noções de controle sobre o corpo e de biopoder de Michel Foucault (2021), bem como sua extensão para a necropolítica, de Achille Mbembe (2018). Ainda, a senzala do engenho Nossa Senhora da Natividade foi aqui considerada como um campo no qual se configura o estado de exceção, analisado à luz da teoria de Giorgio Agamben (2002). A proposta de que a senzala possa ser encarada como um campo deriva de estudos nas áreas de filosofia e história e, neste ensaio, pretende-se analisar em uma obra literária como podem ser verificáveis tais conceitos. Nesse local específico e criado para encarcerar os negros escravizados, o suplício do corpo ocorre como forma de disciplinar pelo medo, sendo decidido pelo poder soberano quem deve viver ou morrer de acordo com as necessidades de controle e de produção do soberano corporificado pelo senhor. A escravização negra no Brasil Imperial, portanto, é aqui encarada como um ancestral do campo biopolítico identificado nos movimentos totalitaristas do século XX, com desdobramentos e metamorfoses nos anos seguintes e representada pela literatura.
A változások szociálpszichológiája és a szociálpszichológia változásai
Authors: Hunyady György
Published: October 2022

A 19. század végén az úgynevezett szellemtudományok ígérték a történelmi szereplők, fejlemények és időszakok pszichológiai leírását és megértését, ezek értékirányultsága alapján. Az elmúlt évszázad során a szociálpszichológia mint az empirikus humántudományok egyik ága fokozatosan átvette ezt a szerepet. McGuire periodizációjával egyetértően a szerző – az ELTE díszdoktorává avatása alkalmával – a szociálpszichológia fejlődésének öt fázisát jellemezte, mígnem elérte a hierarchikus társadalmi rendszerekkel kapcsolatos attitűdök és érzelmi kontextusok tematikus dominanciáját a jelenben. Amerika történetének társadalmi-politikai kihívásai mély nyomot hagytak ezen szakmai tudományos fejlődésen, és a kelet-közép-európai kutatások megtalálhatják és meg kell találniuk a saját kérdésfeltevéseiket és megközelítéseiket, hogy a továbbiakban kiegyensúlyozott együttműködés alakuljon ki a szociálpszichológia széles tudományterületén.
An infinitive by any other name: On the non-finites in Hungarian, Finnish and Estonian grammars
Authors: Laakso Johanna
Published: October 2022

Non-finite verb forms, in-between verbs and nouns and also in-between inflection and derivation, pose challenges to grammar writing. In the largely Latin-based European grammar traditions, three or four main types of non-finites are often distinguished: infinitives, participles, verbal adverbs (gerunds, converbs), and – often most closely connected to the participles but classified as derivation rather than inflection – deverbal noun derivatives. Hungarian, Finnish, and Estonian, the three Uralic state languages with a strong tradition of written cultivation, are situated at the western end of the language family and display a strong “Europeanization” also in their systems of non-finites. Yet, these systems differ greatly even from each other.

In this paper, the classification and nomenclature of non-finites in Hungarian grammars are compared with Finnish and Estonian. The Finnish grammar tradition is based on morphological substance but, failing to acknowledge the category of converbs, ends up exploiting the term “infinitive” in a way which is syntactically and semantically meaningless. The Estonian grammars vacillate between an opportunistic use of traditional European grammar terms and a simple listing of forms at a minimal level of abstraction. Hungarian grammars, in turn, present the non-finites in a way which is incompatible with other grammar traditions and is internally contradictory.
El Himnario del Oficio hispano
Authors: Arocena Félix María
Published: October 2022

El estudio surge con motivo de la publicación de la segunda edición crítica del himnario hispano, obra de José Castro en el vol. 167 de la Series Latina de CCL (Brepols 2010). La anterior edición crítica, obra del himnólogo alemán Clemens Blume, databa de 1897. El himnario del Oficio hispano, siendo una peculiar «forma lírica» de la fe, constituye, a la vez, uno de los repertorios más complejos del latín visigótico. El autor presenta una introducción general a este depósito eucológico, mostrando el estado de la investigación histórica y filológica publicada hasta el momento. Estudia el iter histórico del textus receptus. Propone una primera caracterización de estos himnos. El estudio, que posee un carácter propedéutico, muestra las coordenadas de referencia donde situar un futuro análisis teológico de esos textos, como área de investigación todavía inexplorada, y de la que actualmente se ocupa el autor.

Lignin-Based Nanomaterials as Drug Delivery Vehicles: A Review
Authors: Aquib Tahmidul Islam
Published: October 2022

Over the past decade, lignin-based nanomaterials have astonishingly gained tremendous popularity among researchers worldwide for utilization in various high-value added fields. However, the copiousness of published articles suggests that lignin-based nanomaterials are currently being given the most priority as drug delivery vehicles or drug carriers. A large number of reports have been published during the past decade reporting successful application of lignin nanoparticles as drug carrier, not only for drugs administered in human but also for drugs used in plants such as pesticides, fungicides, etc. In this review, all of these reports have been discussed in an elaborate fashion so as to present all the available information pertaining to the application of lignin-based nanomaterials in drug delivery in a comprehensive manner.
Inclusive Anti-poaching? Exploring the Potential and Challenges of Community-based Anti-Poaching
Authors: Massé Francis , Gardiner Alan , Lubilo Rodgers , Themba Martha
Published: October 2022

In acknowledgement that the largely (para)militarized approach to anti-poaching has its limitations, alternative approaches to conservation law enforcement are being sought. One alternative focuses on including people from local communities in anti-poaching, what we call inclusive anti-poaching. Using a case study of a community scout programme from southern Mozambique, located adjacent South Africa’s Kruger National Park, we examine the potential of a community scout initiative to move towards a more inclusive and sustainable approach to anti-poaching and conservation. While highlighting its challenges and potential drawbacks, we argue that including local people into conservation law enforcement efforts can help address poaching and problematic aspects of current anti-poaching measures. However, to be a genuine and sustainable alternative, community ranger programmes must be part of a broader shift towards developing local wildlife economies that benefits local communities as opposed to supporting pre-existing anti-poaching interventions.
Enabling the enabler: Using access to information to ensure the right to peaceful protest
Authors: Mukumba Tsangadzaome Alexander , Abdullah Imraan
Published: October 2022

The Regulation of Gatherings Act (RGA) places strict guidelines on how to exercise the right to protest, with particular emphasis on the submission of a notice of gathering to the responsible person within a municipality in terms of sections 2(4) and 3 of the Act. However, municipalities do not proactively make the notice of gathering templates available for public use (or may not have these at all), and often do not publicise the details of the designated responsible person. To test municipalities’ compliance with the RGA, the Legal Resources Centre (LRC) enlisted the help of the South African History Archive (SAHA) to submit a series of Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA) requests to every municipality in South Africa. PAIA requests were also submitted to the South African Police Service (SAPS) for records relating to public order policing. The initiative aimed to provide these templates and related documents to interested parties as an open source resource on the protestinfo.org.za website. The results of these efforts show that compliance with the RGA is uneven. This article explores the flaws in the regulatory environment that have led to this level of apathy within government, despite the crucial role of the right to protest and the right of access to information as enabling rights in our constitutional democracy. An analysis of the full PAIA request dataset shows the extent of government’s resistance to facilitating these enabling rights, and provides insights into remedial interventions. The article concludes with a series of recommendations, which centre on statutory reforms to the RGA and PAIA to ensure appropriate sanction for non-compliance by government, proactive disclosure of relevant information, and emergency provisions allowing curtailed procedural requirements. The intention of the proposed amendments is to minimise the possibility that these fundamental, enabling rights might be frustrated.

Few Capetonians would argue against the claim that the City has been rocked by the current water crisis that many have dubbed the most severe in modern history. Discussions about water saving techniques, membership of the ‘Water Warriors’ club, dinner party comparisons of family daily usage figures, discussion of toilet habits (to flush or not to flush?) and frenzied buying to secure 25-litre water containers have become part of daily life for those of us faced by the imminent (but previously unconscionable) threat of our taps running dry. Even the ‘proudly oily’1 premier of the Western Cape has boasted that she only showers every three days to help beat back Day Zero. But the water crisis has not only raised important questions about residents’ rights to, and responsibility for, the water they use. It has also brought to the surface interesting issues about criminality and crime control, and our individual and collective relationship to water. Stories of violence and incivility at water collection points and in supermarkets have captured attention on social media, and city dwellers have hotly debated the threat of organised crime, laws against rebottling and reselling of municipal water, and the Western Cape government’s Water Disaster Plan, which gives the police and army responsibility for maintaining safety and order at water collection points.
Of course, while questions of water saving, risk and safety feel quite new to many Capetonians, scholars, activists and policymakers (including criminologists) have been writing about these issues for much longer. The Centre for Law and Society approached two scholars/activists to discuss the water crisis and its impact on questions of vulnerability, risk and security. Nick Simpson, an environmental and human development consultant (and post-doctoral scholar at the University of Cape Town), discussed questions of criminology in the age of the Anthropocene, and Vivienne Mentor-Lalu, a researcher/facilitator for the Women and Democracy Initiative at the Dullah Omar Institute at the University of the Western Cape, spoke to us about the gendered impact of the drought. Nolundi Luwaya, Kelley Moult, Diane Jefthas and Vitima Jere contributed to this piece.

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION STRATEGY: ASSESSMENT OF DIGITAL MATURITY OF THE RUSSIAN ELECTRIC POWER INDUSTRY
Authors: Khobotova L. V. , Neprintseva E. V. , Shubin S. A.
Published: October 2022

Based on the analysis of domestic and foreign experience of digital transformation and the conducted expert survey, the authors conclude that Russia, in comparison with other countries, does not have a leading position in the implementation of digital technologies. At the same time, the electric power industry being the basic sector of the economy which is responsible for its safe and sustainable development, in terms of digitalization is on the sidelines, yielding to retail, the banking industry, telecommunications and the manufacturing industry. At the same time, digitalisation is a promising direction and can have a significant positive impact on the electric power industry. The purpose of the study is to assess the current level of digital maturity of the electric power industry in Russia, identify the main barriers to digital transformation and develop proposals in order to overcome them.

The article uses generalisation, comparative analysis, analyses empirical data of digitalisation in Russia and abroad, conducts a survey of experts in the electric power industry about its digital maturity.

Authors: Karpov D.S. , Karpova M.S. , Popova S.P. , Kholmogorova A.B.
Published: October 2022

Relevance. Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is the third most common psychiatric disorder, potentially disabling with significant social and economic consequences. In Russia, little attention is paid to the study of OCD, which leads to the problem of differential diagnosis and effective treatment of OCD. One of the reasons for the insufficient attention to OCD is the lack of validated Russian questionnaires for diagnosing OCD. The purpose of this work is the initial validation of a translated version of the Maudsley Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory (MOCI). Characteristics of the surveyed groups. A population-based sample of 300 students (212 women and 88 men) and a clinical sample of 13 patients with anxiety and depressive disorders (8 women and 5 men) and 13 patients with OCD (11 women and 2 men) participated in the study. Severity of OCD symptoms were assessed with the translated version of Maudsley questionnaire. Results. According to our data, the MOCI questionnaire allows to differentiate reliably (p = 0,027) patients with OCD from patients with anxiety-depressive disorders and can be suitable as a primary diagnostic test for identifying OCD patients (p < 0,05) and the risk group. The reliability and convergent validity of the questionnaire were shown.

Authors: Savenysheva S. , Anikina V.O. , Blokh M.E.
Published: October 2022

Introduction. The article presents the results of adaptation and validation of the Russian-language version of the Maternal antenatal attachment scale (MAAS) by J. Condon «Maternal prenatal attachment». This scale is aimed at studying the relationship of a mother to a child during pregnancy (quality of attachment, attachment behavior). Method. The study sample consisted of 320 pregnant women aged 18—44 years (average age — 27.1 years), gestational age — from 8 to 39 weeks (average 26.8 weeks). Results and conclusions. The Russian-language version of the scale was checked for internal consistency (Cronbach’s α coefficient — 0.83). Testing of constructive validity using Pregnant women attitude test, Relationship color test and Family drawing showed a close correlation with indicators of attitude towards the child. In addition to the original version of the method processing, a second version of the method processing was proposed — in accordance with the structure of prenatal attachment (cognitive, emotional and behavioral components).

Relevance. The paper presents the results of approbation of the Russian-language version of scales by K.A. Demes and N. Geeraert: the Brief Sociocultural Adaptation Scale (BSAS), the Brief Psychological Adaptation Scale (BPAS), the Brief Acculturation Orientation Scale (BAOS). Goal. Determination of psychometric characteristics (internal consistency, factor structure, reliability and validity) of Russian-language versions of the above methods. Sample. 294 Russian-speaking migrants, who are currently living in Australia, Asia, North and South America, Europe. Participants aged 20 to 71 years old, including 220 women (74,8%), 69 men (23,5%) and 5 respondents who indicated «other» as their gender (1,7%). Research results. High reliability and external validity of the Russian version of the scales has been established. The Cronbach’s α coefficients for the scales are as follows: 0,924 for F1 BAOS, 0,903 for F2 BAOS, 0,869 for BPAS, 0,879 for BSAS. BPAS and BSAS were positively correlated. Satisfaction with life was positively correlated with both psychological and sociocultural adaptation. Negative correlations were found between indicators of anxiety, depression and indicators of adaptation. Sociocultural adaptation, measured by the questionnaire of C. Ward, A. Kennedy, showed positive correlations with BSAS and BPAS. No correlation was found between acculturation orientation toward the home and host culture, supporting their independence. Analysis showed immigrants to be better adapted, if they were oriented more toward the host culture and less toward the home culture.

Authors: Fernández-Rivas María , Espada María , De las Heras Fernández Rosa
Published: October 2022

Las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) están presente en la Educación. Existen diferentes formas de clasificación de las diferentes herramientas. Los códigos QR permiten conectar objetos reales con cualquier contenido web adicional. A través de estos códigos se pueden visualizar movimientos y danzas. Así, se han aplicado en las clases de Educación Física, siendo escasos los estudios de su aplicación para actividades de danza y expresión corporal. Es por ello, que este trabajo pretende analizar la diversión y disfrute del alumnado hacia el uso de los códigos QR para el aprendizaje de la danza. El estudio se llevó a cabo con una muestra de 30 estudiantes de un Grado Superior de Formación Profesional del ámbito de la Educación Física con un diseño cuasi-experimental, utilizando un pretest y un postest. Las conclusiones determinan que la diversión y el disfrute en las clases de Educación Física aumentaron cuando el alumnado utilizó los códigos QR para aprender las danzas sin observarse diferencias estadísticamente significativas. Como futuras líneas de investigación sería interesante ampliar la intervención con un número mayor de sesiones.

Published: October 2022

Dipteryx alata Vogel, o baru, é uma espécie do Cerrado que possui papel relevante para a alimentação humana e animal, bem como para uso fitoterápico. Diferentes partes dessa planta podem ser utilizadas com diversos fins. Essa espécie tem sofrido efeitos deletérios devido à intensa ocupação agrícola vivenciada no Cerrado, sobretudo, porque há irrisórias áreas de conservação com a presença de D. alata. O objetivo deste trabalho é salientar os potenciais de utilização do baru para a saúde humana. Os bancos de dados consultados para esta revisão foram: Periódico Capes, Pubmed, Lilacs e Scielo. As amêndoas do baru são sementes comestíveis, quando submetidas à prévia torrefação e nelas são encontrados os ácidos graxos insaturados linolênico, oléico, gadoleico, fítico e erúcico. O ácido linoléico extraído da amêndoa do baru pode ser convertido em ácido araquidônico e eicosanoides que são metabolizados em substâncias pró-inflamatórias e estimuladoras de agregação plaquetária. Porém outros ácidos graxos insaturados encontrados no baru têm demonstrado ação anti-inflamatória no sistema cardiovascular, auxiliando na diminuição das concentrações de colesterol sanguíneo. Também apresenta papel anti-inflamatório relevante na prevenção do envelhecimento cutâneo e na proteção tecidual ao estresse oxidativo.
A Numerical Study on an Integrated Solar Chimney with Latent Heat Thermal Energy Storage in Various Arrangements
Authors: Buonomo Bernardo , Golia Maria Rita , Manca Oronzio , Nardini Segio
Published: October 2022

The paper presents a two-dimensional numerical investigation of a solar chimney combined with an absorbing capacity wall in a building’s south façade. The analysis was carried out in Aversa (Italy), in July and December, from sunrise to sunset. The chimney is made up of a converging channel, a vertical absorbing wall, and a two-degree angled glass plate. It is 5.0 m tall, while the height of the channel is 4.0 m, with an inlet of 0.34 m and an outlet portion of 0.20 m. A phase change material with metal foam makes up the thermal energy storage system. Four possible configurations are investigated to identify the ideal hybrid system arrangement in terms of thermal performance; the commercial code Ansys-Fluent is used to solve the problem. The results of the thermal energy storage system with metal foam and PCM are provided in terms of liquid fractions, stored energy, and stream function fields, while the ones of the wall temperature distributions in the channel are reported. Thermal and fluid dynamics behaviours are so evaluated to have some useful indications to improve the system.

Will Self-Service Technologies Be Widely Adopted in Travel, Tourism, and Hospitality Industries During and after COVID-19?
Authors: Saputra Fachri Eka , Praningrum  , Anggarawati Sularsih
Published: October 2022

Travel, Tourism, and Hospitality (TTH) sectors had been believed to continue experiencing constant growth before the unexpected COVID-19 outbreak. Although the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and Middle-East respiratory syndrome (MERS) outbreak had occurred before, COVID-19 is causing a vast number of fatalities and raised social and economic issues in many countries. TTH sectors were under heavy pressure compared to other industries during COVID-19. This article aims to systematically review the critical role of SSTs to be adopted in the TTH companies during and after COVID-19. How business transformation is possible in the TTH companies will also be discussed. For that purpose, this study carried out a meta-analysis from previous studies. The results revealed TTH companies must re-shape business strategy by adopting and adjusting service delivery using Self-Service Technologies (SSTs) to stay competitive and survive tough times. TTH ecosystem needs to employ Augmented reality, Virtual reality, Blockchain, Robot, and Autonomous Service which have become a reality today and become a necessity for many industries in the future. The originality or novelty of this research is that this research contributes to the body of knowledge by elaborating on how TTH sectors will adopt SSTs.
Viabilidade energética e econômica da produção de biogás a partir de dejetos bovinos em um sistema de integração lavoura-pecuária
Authors: Capitani Daniel Henrique Dario , Farina João Victor
Published: October 2022

Dada a cada vez maior importância do agronegócio para economia brasileira, muitas questões referentes às externalidades ambientais que podem decorrer de diferentes atividades no campo têm ganhado destaque no debate acadêmico e político, visando discutir e propor alternativas que conciliem uma produção, na medida do possível, mais sustentável e, concomitantemente competitiva. Neste sentido, este trabalho traçou uma análise de viabilidade econômica da implementação de um projeto de biodigestão anaeróbica a partir de resíduos da bovinocultura inseridos em sistemas de integração lavoura-pecuária (ILP), voltado à produção de biogás. Para isso, foi aplicado um estudo de caso em uma pequena propriedade produtora de leite e milho localizada no Noroeste do estado de São Paulo. Em geral, identificou-se que o investimento é viável em diferentes cenários, gerando eficiência energética na propriedade, incrementando a receita do produtor e reduzindo riscos e incertezas financeiras. Ademais, o aproveitamento do biofertilizante como substituto à ureia também contribui para o melhor aproveitamento energético. Destarte, pode-se inferir que os investimentos na produção de biogás no sistema em estudo permitiram incrementar a competitividade do produtor simultaneamente a melhores práticas ambientais, em consonância com os preceitos elementares da sustentabilidade.

Authors: Peyerl Danrlei Anderson , Paes Amanda Pimentel , Jost Janine Patrícia
Published: October 2022

O objetivo do presente estudo consiste em analisar a relação causa-efeito entre o desempenho sustentável e o desempenho de mercado de empresas brasileiras listadas na B3, baseando-se na metodologia proposta por Jost (2018). Foi adotada a definição do conceito de sustentabilidade de Elkington (1998), a Triple Bottom Line, que reconhece a sustentabilidade como um conceito multidimensional, sendo composta por três dimensões (ambiental, social e econômico-financeiro). Os dados foram coletados na base de dados Thomson Reuters®, inclusive os indicadores ambientais e sociais, que são disponibilizados como indicadores ESG por esta base de dados. Para sintetizar os indicadores aplicou-se o método Evaluation Based on Distance from Average (EDAS), proposto por Ghorabaee, Zavadskas, Olfat, & Turskis (2015). A partir do EDAS foi mensurado anualmente um único indicador de desempenho sustentável e um único indicador de desempenho de mercado para cada empresa, sobre a amostra de 57 empresas, no período de 2007 a 2017. A partir disso foi possível estabelecer as relações entre os desempenhos por meio de modelos de regressão linear. Foram encontradas evidências de causalidade entre o desempenho sustentável e o desempenho de mercado, porém com relação fraca. Os resultados sugerem que há bidirecionalidade entre desempenho sustentável e desempenho de mercado, no qual a contribuição do desempenho de mercado ocorre em maior medida, distinguindo-se de estudos em outros países. Conclui-se, portanto, que pode haver um “círculo virtuoso”, entre os dois desempenhos em empresas brasileiras listadas na B3.

During long-term operation of mechanical transmissions in the modes of alternating and cyclically repetitive loads, significant contact stresses arise that change according to certain cyclic laws. A feature of contact stresses are large gradients of their distribution, as well as locality. The process of fatigue failure occurs as a result of the initiation and development of microcracks. The nucleation and development of microcracks is significantly affected by the state of the surface, the nature of loading (contact stresses, friction, the presence of a lubricant layer, etc.), material properties (mechanical characteristics, hardness, tendency to harden or accumulate plastic deformations), scale factor, temperature, corrosive effect of the environment, etc. To study the wear resistance of gearing and friction transmissions, rolling bearings, laboratory equipment was designed and methods were developed that allow physically modeling the processes under study.

The results of experimental studies and a comparative analysis of changes in the electroerosive resistance of materials during electroerosive machining in liquid and gaseous working media are represented. Based on experimental data, the mathematical models of the dependence of electroerosive resistance on the thermophysical properties of materials for the conditions of both media were obtained. It is established that when replacing the liquid interelectrode medium with a gaseous one, which is observed during electroerosion stitching of deep cavities and holes, the degree of influence of the heat capacity, density, thermal conductivity and board temperature of the material on its electrical erosion resistance changes reiteratedly.

Selective laser melting is one of the most sought-after additive manufacturing technologies that can meet the growing needs of the industry. Structural high-strength steels have always been in demand for the manufacture of critical parts, especially in heavy and power engineering. The features of the process of selective laser melting of high-strength structural steel 28Cr3SiNiMoWV of domestic production are studied on the SLP-250 additive complex developed at the Bauman Moscow State Technical University together with MCLT LLC. The input control of the powder material was carried out, including granulometric, morphological and chemical analysis. To determine the optimal modes and the influence of the main technological parameters on the quality of fusion and the presence of defects in the grown samples, a multifactorial experiment was performed. The effect of process parameters and thermal cycles on the main defects of selective laser melting, i.e., porosity and cracking, is estimated. The porosity of the samples obtained was less than 0.2%. To get a defect-free structure and to grow products from powdered steel 28Cr3SiNiMoWV, the growing modes are optimized.

Published: October 2022

Background: Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam.) belongs to the family Moraceae.Two cultivars of jackfruit are popular in Kerala being “Koozha” and “Varikka” The rind of jackfruit is mostly thrown away or given to cattle. This issue has been addressed by processing the rind into flour and ascertaining its nutritional and chemical composition. Methods: Mature jackfruits-Raw and ripe (cv varikka and koozha) with optimum maturity indices were selected from the instructional farm, College of Agriculture, Vellayani. They were cleaned, cut and immersed in pre treatment media and subjected to drying. The dried product was milled and packed in laminated pouches. They were subjected to quality analysis using standard procedures. Result: The nutrient analysis of jackfruit rind flour showed significant differences among raw and ripened varikka and koozha rind flours. Raw Koozha jackfruit rind flour showed higher content of crude fiber (18 g/ 100 g) and dietary fiber (13.56 g/ 100 g). It had low content of carbohydrate (29 g/100 g) and fat (1.84 g/10 0 g). The chemical composition of raw koozha jackfruit rind flour had higher tannins (0.088 g/100 g). It also had higher content of polyphenols (2 g/100 g) that could be responsible for the enzymatic browning of rinds and had lower peroxide value (0.5 g/100 g), which could be the reason for better keeping quality of this rind type. Pectin content was found to be higher (27.5 g/100 g) in ripe varikka jackfruit rind flour.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly contagious disease with an increasing number of infections in Indonesia. However, hypertension and diabetes are chronic diseases with high incidence in Aceh, there is still limited information regarding the demographics and clinical data of COVID-19 patients. This study aims to explain the clinical characteristics, comorbidities, and outcomes of COVID-19 patients. A retrospective method was used to locate data from the medical record of COVID-19 patients that were admitted to the hospital between June-October 2020. The characteristics demographics, clinical data on admission, and outcomes were extracted from the medical record. In order to determine the comorbid relationship, the chi-square test was used for the laboratory tests and clinical outcomes. A total of 120 patients were included, and more than half were male 80 (60%) with 41-60 years of age at most (51.2%). Most of the patients had comorbid diabetes mellitus (40.5%), hypertension (28.9%), and chronic lung disease (8.3%). Furthermore, most COVID-19 was severe degrees 56 (46.3%). The patients with recovery are 92 (76.0%) and only 29 (24.0%) died. The neutrophilia, and comorbid had no relationship with the clinical outcome of COVID-19 (p >0.05). The Lymphopenia and degree of severity had relationship with clinical outcome (p> 0.05). Diabetes melitus and hypertension are the most common comorbid reported in the COVID-19 patients. The Inflammation markers, such as lymphocytes, can be used as an early warning to increase awareness in treating patients with severe disease.

Alternative fuels have the potential to reduce exhaust emissions in the transportation sector. In this study, the effects of oxygenated fuels on the performance and emissions of a gasoline single-cylinder spark-ignition engine have been investigated experimentally. Experiments were conducted using a DIDACTA-T85 testbed under full load conditions and variable engine speed. Performance tests were performed by measuring the brake torque, brake power, brake mean effective pressure (BMEP), brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC), and brake thermal efficiency (BTE). The tested fuel blends were G0, E10, A10, and M10. G0 represented the base fuel and pure gasoline. E10, A10, and M10 were represented by a 10% volume of ethanol, acetone, and methanol in gasoline respectively. Results showed that M10 produced better engine performance in terms of brake torque, brake power, and BMEP, while E10 performed better results in terms of BSFC and BTE. A10 gave the lowest value in NOx emission at all engine speeds. On the other hand, it increased the NOX emission for E10 and M10 blends. This study showed that oxygenated fuel blends significantly reduced carbon monoxide emission at all engine speeds whereas carbon dioxide emission was higher at the highest engine speed.

Land includes vegetation and water bodies and provides the basis for human livelihoods through primary production, the supply of food, freshwater, and multiple other ecosystem goods and services. The last three decades have recorded frequent drought events as well as rapid population growth, which has resulted in often negative land use and land cover change (LULCC) in the Sahel of Sub-Saharan Africa. In order to propose sustainable land management strategies, it is important to investigate the rate of LULCC and its driving factors in specific locations. This study investigated the case of Wocoro municipality in Mali using a combined approach of remote sensing, Geographical Information System, and focus group discussions. Satellite images and local people's perceptions on LULCC and drivers were collected and analyzed for the years 1990, 2000, 2010, and 2020. We found that the study area faced a severe decrease in wooded savannah with an increase in farmland and settlement directly or indirectly related to the rapid population growth, high cotton price (which encouraged cropland expansion), drought, firewood extraction, and charcoal production, which was exacerbated by poverty. There is a need to promote integrated land management strategies that consider current and future livelihoods needs and preserve the health of the environment for the benefits of future generations.

Published: October 2022

Aortic disease has a significant impact on quality of life. Involvement of the aortic arch requires preservation of blood supply to the brain during surgery. Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest is an established technique for this purpose although neurological injury remains high. Additional techniques have been used to reduce the risk although controversy still remains. A three-way cannulation approach, including both carotid arteries and the femoral artery or the ascending aorta, has been used successfully for aortic arch replacement and redo procedures. We have de-veloped circuits of the circulation to simulate blood flow during this type of cannulation set up. The aim is to analyse using CARDIOSIM© cardiovascular simulation platform, how the haemodynamic and energetic parameters are affected and the benefit derived with particular reference to the cerebral circulation.
