Thermal Management of Battery Using Phase Change Material and Air Cooling
Authors: Goyal Kunal
Published: November 2024

Abstract: Fossil fuels produce large quantities of carbon dioxide when burned. Carbon emissions trap heat in the atmosphere
and lead to climate change. Electric vehicles could help diversify the energy needed to move people and goods thanks to their
reliance on the broad mix of primary energy sources used in power generation, significantly improving energy security. A
battery is an energy storage system in an electric car. The battery of the electric car begins to rise in temperature during its
usage. An average optimum battery working conditions varies from 40˚C – 55˚C. Various cooling methods have been
implemented to prevent the damage and thermal runaways of the battery cells, such as air, liquid, phase changing materials and
a combination of either method. This project has an aim to develop a battery thermal system capable of managing the
temperature of the battery within safety limits and providing a cost-effective solution.

Authors: Yenkikar Anuradha , Khandave Aniket , Kukreja Gunjan , Chorghade Aditya , Patil Amol , Dhanashri Prathamesh
Published: November 2024

Abstract: This is a research paper focused on skin disease prediction using CNN algorithms. Standing on eight classes of data
this study accepts the challenge of proper diagnosis of multiple skin diseases. This problem statement supports the call for better
and accurate ways of sorting the skin diseases so that dermatologists can diagnose the diseases appropriately and within the
right time. With respect to the method, most of the data pre-processing are done on the collected dataset to improve its quality so
as to develop a CNN model. Next, testing is performed with using the architecture of a CNN that is trained to search for features
and patterns of the skin diseases’ photos. In this study, accuracy rates for each of the eight disease categories reach high figures,
according to the results: so, it can be seen that the attainment of the CNN models is quite remarkable to classify diseases. For
instance, the suggested method, stands as a fair one because it does not very much depend on the quality of the input image. The
paper also examines the possibility of interpreting the CNN models concerning what kind of image features and area contribute
to the classification process. This feature makes the model prediction more credible and yields useful information on the way the
decision is made, possibly making doctors understand various aspects of pathophysiologic processes associated with different
skin ailments. Furthermore, the study seeks to investigate the possibility of the proposed method in proximate actual clinical
applications with identification always fast, and with massive data amount. In addition, solving these problems also contributes
to the development of not only the dermatology as a branch of medicine, but also improves the understanding of the applicability
of CNN based approaches for the analysis of medical images.

Cloning and expression study of sugarcane (Saccharum sp.) sucrose transporter gene (SoSUT4)
Authors: Nur Fitriani Rani , Santosa Dwi Andreas , Miftahudin
Published: November 2024

Sugarcane (Saccharum sp.) is a vital commodity for global sugar production and biomass generation, with sucrose being the primary sugar accumulated predominantly in the stem. The sucrose transporter protein is essential in facilitating sucrose transport across cells and over long distances within plants, from source to sink tissues. This study focused on the cloning and expression analysis of the SoSUT4 gene in the Bululawang sugarcane variety. A partial coding sequence of SoSUT4, comprising 802 nucleotides and encoding a 267-amino acid protein, was successfully cloned and sequenced. Sequence analysis revealed that the SoSUT4 protein shares high similarity with other SUT4 proteins in monocotyledonous plants, particularly with Saccharum spontaneum and Saccharum hybrid. Bioinformatics predictions indicated that the SoSUT4 protein is localized to the plasma membrane and contains six transmembrane helices. Gene expression analysis further demonstrated that SoSUT4 expression was significantly higher in the middle internodes of the stem compared to the youngest midsection of the leaves. This expression pattern correlates with higher sucrose accumulation in the stem, as reflected by elevated Brix levels in the stem (19.61%) compared to the leaves (19.48%). This finding suggests that SoSUT4 is essential for sucrose translocation to the stem, which serves as the primary storage site for sugar. The study provides valuable insights into the SoSUT gene family in sugarcane, particularly highlighting the role of SoSUT4 in sugar transport and accumulation. Future research should further investigate the underlying mechanisms of SoSUT4 and related genes to enhance our understanding of their impact on sugarcane yield, with potential applications for genetic engineering aimed at improving crop productivity.

Clearing the Hurdle of Corruption: Indonesia’s Path to OECD Accession
Authors: Cason Christopher Michael , Hefni Hanna Adistyana
Published: November 2024

Indonesia has recently entered into formal talks with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).  While debate persists about the wisdom of such a move, it is relevant to recognize that there are many hurdles to overcome. The OECD has provided Indonesia a roadmap outlining both procedures and substantive legislative provisions required for accession to the OECD treaty.  Among these requirements,  OECD membership candidates must establish law that are in compliance with the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention.  Given Indonesia’s history, this component may pose a significant impediment to OECD membership.  To explore this, the study examines the accession path of other recent members to the OECD and provides guidance for clear changes that are required to Indonesia’s legal framework surrounding corruption.  This study found that compliance with the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention as imperative, as demonstrated by the experiences of countries that have recently joined the OECD and other candidate countries that are further along in the accession process than Indonesia.  This research also demonstrates that significant legislative changes to Indonesia’s legal framework on corruption are required for full accession to the OECD Convention

Tem o objetivo de analisar a oferta de serviços de acolhimento para pessoas com deficiência no Brasil, através do mapeamento e tipo de gestão. Trata-se de estudo transversal descritivo, a partir dos dados Censo SUAS 2020. Obteve-se o total de 4.852 instituições na modalidade Abrigo, 823 na modalidade Casa-Lar, totalizando 5.675 instituições. Sendo 38% governamentais, e do restante não governamental, 54% possuem algum convênio; destas 4.131 de instituições, 72,79% afirmando ter PCDs acolhidas além do público alvo. Há 335 instituições exclusivas para PCDs, separadas em 312 (adultos) e 23 (crianças/adolescentes). Concluiu-se que a oferta de instituições de acolhimento no Brasil está disposta desigualmente; portanto, construir e fortalecer a setorialidade dos sistemas únicos de saúde e de assistência social, pois os resultados demonstram a maioria de instituições não governamentais estão à margem das capitais. Há muitas PCDs acolhidas em grande parte desses serviços no país, por um lado se consente um convívio que pode ser produtivo, entretanto, é necessário atenção para a demanda de acessibilidade nesses serviços. Ressalta-se a importância da desinstitucionalização, para restabelecer a autonomia e inclusão social das PCDs, assim, repercutirá na ampliação da proteção social e oferta, com impacto direto nas quais possuem número expressivo de acolhidos institucionalmente.

Gênero e Feminismos no Ensino de Relações Internacionais no Brasil
Authors: Jungs de Almeida Alessandra
Published: November 2024

As perspectivas de gênero e/ou feministas ainda são raras no ensino de Relações Internacionais no Brasil e, em geral, não atravessam as diversas agendas do campo de estudo, ficando confinadas a “semana de gênero” ou a disciplinas optativas. Por isso, esta pesquisa, de caráter exploratório, tem como objetivo analisar como três cursos de Relações Internacionais de universidades brasileiras abordam a temática de gênero e/ou feminismos em suas disciplinas obrigatórias. Para realizar essa análise, faço uma análise bibliográfica sobre a temática e uma análise documental das ementas das disciplinas obrigatórias das universidades selecionadas. Na primeira seção, apresento o debate teórico sobre análise curricular. Na segunda seção, abordo os debates sobre gênero, currículo e ensino de Relações Internacionais. Por fim, faço uma análise das ementas obrigatórias de três cursos de graduação em Relações Internacionais. Ao todo foram analisadas 103 ementas, das quais 3 abordam gênero e/ou feminismos, contudo, marginalmente. Observo que no período de duração dos cursos analisados, há somente a “semana de gênero”, ou seja, o período de uma semana em uma disciplina ou curso inteiro para debater a temática. Também observo, nas considerações finais, que está aberta a oportunidade de disputar e mudar os currículos de Relações Internacionais para que as perspectivas de gênero ou/e feministas estejam presentes em análises das diferentes agendas de pesquisa e ensino da área.
Utilization of the Thorium of the Holos-Quad Micro-Reactor Concept
Authors: Çifci Ahmet , Acır Adem
Published: November 2024

In this study, the criticality and burnup analyses have been performed for Holos-Quad micro nuclear reactor as a thorium burner which has 15 ton reactor mass and 22 MWth full core geometry by using continuous-energy multi-purpose three-dimensional Serpent and OpenMC Monte Carlo particle transport code with ENDF/ B-VII data libraries. As nuclear fuel, reactor grade (RG) and weapon grade (WG) Pu mixed with ThO2 in different proportions have been used. Firstly, effective criticality for RG-Pu and WG-Pu for operation period have been determined. In addition, since each of the 4 subcritical power modules must be subcritical due to the structure of the Holos-Quad reactor, the criticality analysis of the power modules has been performed. The criticality, burnup and fissile fuel production of the Holos-Quad micro nuclear thorium-burner have been calculated with different fuel fraction depending on the fuel type. Finally, thorium mixed fuels with 35% WG-Pu or 75% RG-Pu would allow burn up levels of ~ 25 GWd/ton and ~15 GWd/ton with reactor operation periods ~3.5 years without fuel change, respectively.

Justification of Criteria and Assessment of Environmental Safety during the Operation of Metro Facilities
Authors: Zhukov S. A.
Published: November 2024

Introduction. In today's world, with the increasing pace of urbanization, environmental safety plays a crucial role in urban planning and management. Subway operations, as an important part of urban infrastructure, contribute to population mobility, but they can also cause significant environmental problems. Such scientists as Kulikova E.Yu., Konyukhov D.S., Potapova E.V., Balovtsev S.V., Chunyuk D.Yu., etc have studied these issues. However, their research mostly ignores the fact that one of the major threats to environmental safety is the degradation of tunnel linings due to hydrogeological processes. This not only increases the risk of accidents but also increases the likelihood of negative impacts on groundwater and the environment. Therefore, the study of the nature of the development of defects in tunnel linings and their dynamics over time is of both scientific and practical interest, and is the aim of this research. To achieve this objective, it is necessary to analyze the relationship between the condition of the tunnel lining and environmental safety based on data about defects in subway tunnel structures and their impact on the environment.Materials and Methods. For this study, we used defective sections of the subway tunnel linings from several lines of the Moscow Metro as materials. We conducted field studies of the lining's condition and geodetic surveys of the tunnels, which revealed significant changes in the indicators compared to the normative values as a result of the interaction between the human-made environment and the surrounding nature. Additionally, we employed seismoacoustic inspection methods to inspect the tunnel linings using shock excitation.Results. Data on the dependence of defect development on changes in groundwater level has been obtained. Defects in tunnel linings contribute to the leakage of chemically active substances into soil and groundwater, which threatens biodiversity and reduces water quality used by the population.Discussion and Conclusion. Field surveys have shown that defects in tunnel linings, such as cracks, concrete leaching, and waterproofing violations, have a direct impact on environmental safety. Therefore, maintaining the integrity of these structures is a key element in ensuring environmental safety in urban areas. The results of this research will form the basis for developing comprehensive proposals to improve monitoring techniques and ensure the structural integrity of tunnel structures.
Fisher-Tippet Law Truncated Form for Loading Modeling of Machinery Structures
Authors: Kotesov A. A.
Published: November 2024

Introduction. Statistical data are used as a basis for assessing the reliability of engineering structures. However, incomplete data or inaccurate modeling of random variables may lead to an overestimation of reliability indicators. In practice, laws with infinitely decreasing or increasing distribution functions of an exponential family are usually used to model random variables characterizing the bearing capacity, load, and resource of engineering structures. To improve the accuracy of modeling of random variables, truncated forms of distribution laws are often used. These forms allow us to consider the random variable within a specified interval, excluding impossible values. Several studies have suggested using the Fisher-Tippett law with three parameters for modeling random variables related to the loading of engineering structures. The advantage of this law is that it limits the range of the random variable on the right side, but the left side of the distribution function decreases indefinitely, which is not ideal for load characteristics. To improve the accuracy of predicting random variables that characterize the load, it would be helpful to have a left-sided restriction using the Fisher-Tippett law. Currently, there are no descriptions of truncated forms of the distribution law in scientific literature. This article will explore the justification and development of a three-parameter truncated form of the Fisher-Tippett law and its use in calculation methods. The goal is to create a left-sided truncated version of the Fisher-Tippett distribution with three parameters to model random variables within a specific range.Materials and Methods. The article provides a detailed description of the history of the Fisher-Tippet law, including its three-parameter form, and justifies the need for obtaining its truncated form.Results. As a result of the research, a truncated form of the Fisher-Tippet three-parameter law in differential and integral forms was obtained and substantiated. The findings included graphs and calculations that demonstrated the normalization of a random variable within a given range.Discussion and Conclusion. The conclusion was drawn about the advantages and disadvantages of the truncated form of the Fisher-Tippet law. The possibility of its practical application in the schematization of random loading processes under operating conditions and testing of machine elements and structures to assess fatigue life and determine fatigue resistance characteristics was established. The direction of further research is related to the practical use of the truncated form, particularly with the need to develop a method for evaluating the parameters of the truncated distribution and verifying the consistency of the proposed model

RELATIONS BETWEEN RUSSIA AND CHINA: HISTORICAL HERITAGE AND PROSPECTS OF DEVELOPMENT
Authors: AKHMADEEV B.A. , GAYAZOV I.R.
Published: November 2024

The history of relations between Russia and China is rich for controversial events, where can be clearly seen alternating periods of convergence with periods of sharp deterioration. Current relations between Russia and China are also complex. Thus, the increasing pace of cooperation in the political and military-technical spheres is not supported by mutually beneficial economic relations format. Therefore, a period of rapprochement can at any moment stop, as has happened several times in history. In addition, the achievement of these objectives can be reached within the framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). To this end, for Russia and China, it is advisable to orient the activities of the SCO on these purposes. However, in practice, it is no sufficient evidence to suggest that the above will be a reality. At present, Moscow and Beijing continue to pretend that there are no significant problems in bilateral relations, without paying serious attention to the development of mutually beneficial economic ties. In turn, the SCO primarily addresses policy issues and questions of industrial development and production and investment cooperation still does not go beyond declarations. This article presents the analytical results of the monitoring of key processes in the Russian-Chinese relations in the last 400 years. The possibilities and resources strengthening the strategic partnership between Russia and China, as well as the difficulties and challenges they faced at each stage of the development of cooperation. In addition, we give conclusions and proposals, as well as mutually beneficial scenarios of bilateral relations.

The aims of this study is to describe the stages of implementing the Manik Beladau tradition in Nanga Mahap District, the compatibility and incompatibility between this tradition and Islam, and how Islam views this tradition. This research has used a qualitative approach and descriptive method. Meanwhile, data collection has been carried out by observation and interviews. The results showed that the aim of the Manik Beladau tradition was to prevent bad luck for the bride and groom by bathing them in water mixed with various flowers, leaves and fruit; then gave them water that had been prayed for; fumigated their bodies; and ordered them to step on eggs covered with lumps of rice. From an Islamic perspective, there is compatibility and incompatibility between this tradition and Islam. However, this tradition does not have to be abandoned because these conflicting things can still be modified so that they are compatible with Islam.
 
ABSTRAKTujuan dari penelitian ini ialah untuk mendeskripsikan tahapan pelaksanaan tradisi Manik Beladau di Kecamatan Nanga Mahap, mengungkap titik temu antara tradisi tersebut dengan ajaran Islam, serta mengetahui pandangan Islam terhadap tradisi tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan metode deskriptif. Sementara itu, pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan melakukan observasi dan wawancara. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tujuan dari tradisi Manik Beladau ialah untuk menghilangkan hal-hal buruk pada pasangan pengantin dengan cara memandikan mereka dengan air yang dicampur dengan berbagai bunga, daun, dan buah; kemudian memberikan mereka air yang sudah didoakan; mengasapi tubuh mereka; hingga menyuruh mereka menginjak telur yang ditutup dengan gumpalan nasi. Jika dinilai dari ajaran Islam, terdapat keselarasan dan pertentangan antara tradisi ini dengan Islam. Meski demikian, tradisi ini tidak lantas ditinggalkan sebab hal-hal yang bertentangan tersebut masih dapat diperbaiki sehingga ia dapat benar-benar sejalan dengan ajaran Islam.

This paper aims to systematically analyze the current state of plastic waste legal supervision in China and to propose a vision for future governance frameworks. In recent years, along with the vigorous rise of emerging industries such as the express delivery industry and takeaway services, the consumption of plastic products has increased sharply. This trend has triggered profound reflection and high vigilance on the issue of plastic waste supervision. This trend has triggered profound reflection and acute vigilance regarding the regulation of plastic waste. Although the Chinese government has initiated multiple regulatory measures and achieved certain outcomes, from a macroscopic perspective, the issue of plastic waste pollution remains grave, and the relevant legal and regulatory system presents a complex situation with limited enforcement efficacy. Hence, it is exceptionally urgent and significant to deeply explore and formulate legislative strategies aimed at alleviating and regulating plastic waste pollution. This paper is dedicated to systematically analyzing the current state of plastic waste legal supervision from both international and domestic dimensions, and meticulously outlining the regulatory framework for plastic waste governance in China. Through the application of legal norm research methods, this paper dissects the flaws and challenges existing in the current governance mechanisms and further conducts a comparative study of the successful practices in this field in developed countries like the United States, with the intention of drawing valuable experiences. On this basis, this paper not only offers a forward-looking outlook on China’s future legislative tendencies in plastic waste pollution but also innovatively proposes a series of new insights and recommendations. These explorations aim to provide a more solid theoretical foundation and practical guidance for the governance approach to plastic waste pollution in China, promote the improvement and enhancement of the enforcement effectiveness of environmental regulations, and thereby effectively confront the global challenge of plastic pollution.
Research on Theory and Practice of Comprehensive Performance Evaluation of Financial Operation in Minority Concentrated Regions in the New Era

In order to meet the needs of China’s high-quality development, the minority concentrated regions must allocate public resources efficiently. It is urgent to promote the effective implementation of financial budget performance management in minority concentrated regions. Through the investigation, we summarized the progress and effectiveness of the financial budget performance management in different countries and deeply analyzed the main problems faced by the financial budget performance management in the minority concentrated regions. These problems include the insufficient innovation of the budget performance management system in promoting the county financial effort in each province and below, the further strengthening of the scientificity of the budget performance management evaluation indicator system to promote the county financial autonomy, and the urgent need to improve the financial budget performance management ability at the county level. After the systematic sorting out of the related documents on comprehensive performance evaluation of financial operation, the author constructed an analysis framework of the comprehensive performance evaluation of the financial operation in the minority concentrated regions, which includes two dimensions, “financial operation behavior” and “government budget function”. Under this framework, we not only clearly elaborated the basic composition of the comprehensive performance evaluation of financial operation, but also determined its core evaluation indicators. In addition, the system also deeply analyzed the effectiveness and deficiency of the county financial operation and provided valuable reference for the local government to make decisions, and also provided valuable experience for other county and even wider local financial management.
Reducing the impact of artificial blue light on the skin: A spectroscopic study

As people spend many hours looking at digital screens, the negative effects of artificial blue light are becoming more apparent. While most research has focused on its effects on eyes, less is known about the effects of blue light on the skin, where similar photoreceptors are located. Unlike the sunscreens against UVB and UVA radiation, there is no standard method for determining skin protection against blue light. The lipophilic complex Carotolino, a system combining carrot root extract, carrot seed oil, and β-carotene, was chosen as a model substance for this research. Spectrophotometric investigation demonstrated the ability of Carotolino to absorb radiation in the blue light region (400—500 nm). After a 60-minute LED@450 nm exposure, corresponding to the maximum wavelength of radiation from the displays of common smartphones, only small changes (1.4 %) in the optical spectra were observed. The spectra showed sufficient photostability of Carotolino and its stabilizing effect on the photolabile Ubiquinone. In the 415—455 nm wavelength range associated with oxidative stress, Carotolino (0.4 % wt.) reduced blue light by ∼97.0 %. EPR spin trapping showed that blue light with a maximum wavelength of 450 nm causes significant formation of reactive free radicals, which can be partially eliminated by the application of Carotolino. The results confirmed the suitability of both methods to evaluate the effectiveness of substances to reduce physical impact of incident light on the skin. Further methods are needed to investigate biological protection of skin against blue light by promising substances.
Quantum-chemical studies of infrared spectra of 15N labeled diazene isomers
Authors: Breza Martin , Gatial Anton
Published: November 2024

The geometry of trans-HN=NH, cis-HN=NH and N=NH2 containing no, one or two 15N labeled atoms was optimized. The corresponding infrared vibrations were evaluated using a linear scaling factor. For each of these compounds at least one vibration can be found, which enables to distinguish between heteroisotopic 14N=15N and homoisotopic 14N=14N or 15N=15N species. Independent of the 15N labeling, only trans-conformation should be found in the reaction mixture under equilibrium conditions.
