Efficient Computation of Redundancy Matrices for Moderately Redundant Truss and Frame Structures
Authors: Tkachuk Anton , Krake Tim , Gade Jan , von Scheven Malte
Published: November 2023

Large statically indeterminate truss and frame structures exhibit complex
load-bearing behavior, and redundancy matrices are helpful for their analysis
and design. Depending on the task, the full redundancy matrix or only its
diagonal entries are required. The standard computation procedure has a high
computational effort. Many structures fall in the category of moderately
redundant, i.e., the ratio of the statical indeterminacy to the number of all
load-carrying modes of all elements is less one half. This paper proposes a
closed-form expression for redundancy contributions that is computationally
efficient for moderately redundant systems. The expression is derived via a
factorization of the redundancy matrix that is based on singular value
decomposition. Several examples illustrate the behavior of the method for
increasing size of systems and, where applicable, for increasing degree of
statical indeterminacy.

Authors: YILMAZ Bahri Sarp , ÖKE Mim Kemal Bülent
Published: November 2023

The needs that changed and diversified with the political, technological and scientific developments in the 21st century have brought about new risks and threats. New dimensions of security have started to be discussed against newly emerging risks and threats in international relations. Among the new security issues, the sea comes to the fore both as an area of expansion of states and as an area that gains importance in terms of military, energy, economic and ecological (environmental) security aspects. At this point, maritime policies, which have become a geostrategic need for states in regions that have become areas of power struggle due to their geopolitical positions, tend to change and develop too. Today, the Mediterranean is one of the regions where these power struggles take place just like in history. The necessities and basic factors that paved the way for the 15th and 16th century Turkish (Ottoman) domination in the Mediterranean basin, which is the cradle of Turkish seafaring, were evaluated within the framework of sea power theories and the decision-making model put forward within the scope of the study in terms of shedding light on the present day.

Objective: In this study, an evaluation from a historical perspective was made based on the analysis model of the maritimization policy, which was formed within the framework of philosophical, cultural and theoretical foundations in the Mediterranean. With this evaluation, the building blocks in the formation of the Turkish maritime policy were tried to be shown.

Methodology: In this study, a qualitative research method was used and a literature review was conducted on the subject. In the light of the historical and theoretical information that was obtained, an analysis of the period, which is the subject of the study, was tried to be made.

Findings: The necessities and opportunities arising from the external conjuncture in the formation of the Turkish (Ottoman) maritime policy in the 15th and 16th centuries were determined with this study, and accordingly, the abilities of the decision-makers to benefit from these opportunities were shown. In addition, the events that formed the basis of the Turkish (Ottoman) maritime domination and sea power in the period in question were handled from a different perspective; and in this context, the emergence of the Turkish pirates, who constituted the source of the Turkish sea power of the period, and the Christianization policies that Spain applied to the Muslim and Jewish peoples in the Iberian Peninsula were associated.

Originality: Within the scope of the study, a new decision-making model has been developed for the formulation of maritimization policies. In addition, the effect of the deportation policy implemented by Spain in the relevant period on the formation of the Turkish sea power was revealed for the first time.

Anorthosite (Lunar Rock Replicant) - An Anti-Cancerous Medicinal Approach for H460: Human Lung Cancer with Validation via ROS Anti-Oxidant Analysis
Authors: Yamini Malhotra  , SR Singara Subramanian
Published: November 2023

Anorthosite, a commonly occurring mineral found in lunar regolith, holds the promise of a groundbreaking dual application in the fields of cancer therapy and space medicine.
In the context of lung cancer therapy, anorthosite nanoparticles were synthesized and subjected to MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay along with FTIR to assess their cytotoxic effects on H460 lung cancer cells. The results revealed that anorthosite nanoparticles exhibit a dose-dependent cytotoxic effect on H460 cells, suggesting their potential as a novel treatment modality for lung cancer with Inhibitory Concentration IC50 value at 50% to be 21.65 which simply gestures of how toxic it could be if being treated as a cancer drug via chemo/immune/radio or target cell therapies, even when merged with ayurvedic discipline. These findings warrant further investigations into the precise mechanisms of anorthosite-mediated cytotoxicity and its therapeutic potential in vivo.
Moreover, anorthosite's role in space medicine was explored by assessing its ability to mitigate oxidative stress, a major concern for astronauts exposed to the harsh space environment. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated during space travel can have detrimental effects on an astronaut's health. Anorthosite nanoparticles were tested for their capacity to scavenge ROS in an in vitro model. The results demonstrated that anorthosite nanoparticles possess potent antioxidant properties, indicating their potential in safeguarding astronauts from oxidative stress-induced health issues during prolonged space missions.
This dual-application research on anorthosite nanoparticles highlights their therapeutic potential for lung cancer treatment and their utility in protecting astronauts from oxidative stress in space.

Ayurveda has considered the mental and physical diseases as two separate specialized subjects in certain contexts. However, no line of demarcation has been drawn between the physical and mental diseases and a flexible psychosomatic approach has been put forward. Ayurveda emphasizes its treatment modalities into three Chikitsa viz., Sattvavajaya Chikitsa, Yuktivyapashraya and Daivavyapashraya Chikitsa. Sattvavajaya is the mental restraint, or a “mind control” as referred by Charaka, is achieved through “spiritual knowledge, philosophy, fortitude, remembrance, and concentration. Health regimens as (Swasthvritta), good conduct (Sadvritta), and yoga acts as a traditional mental health promoting practices.

Authors: Sumedha Suresh Kshirsagar  , Amit Avalaskar
Published: November 2023

Sharangadhara Samhita is most important Samhita on Bhaishajya Kalpana (Ayurvedic pharmacy) and considered in Laghutrayee. It consists of three Khand (Division)- Poorva Khand, Madhyam Khand, Uttar Khand. Ayurveda offers personalised treatment according to each patient’s unique Doshavastha. Acharya Charaka has described Chikitsa Chatushpada which includes Bhishak (Physician), Upasthata (Medical Attendant), Rogi (Patient) and Dravya (medicine). The selection of Dravya (medicine) is important step in management of disease. Acharya Charaka has mentioned qualities of Dravya like 1) Bahuta 2) Yogyatam 3) Aanekvidha kalpana 4) Sampat. We use whole drug which contain many chemicals which are separated by Agni (Digestive system). These chemicals are absorbed and move in the body through Rasavaha Strotasa.  They interact with each other and modify gene expression at cellular level. Proper Kalpana (formulations) facilitates better chemical separation, absorption and interaction. Thus, overall efficacy of the drug.

Phytochemical analysis includes alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, phenols, saponins, sterols, tannins, anthraquinone etc. These are important phytochemicals and termed as active principles responsible for action of drug. Different Bhaishajya Kalpana are used to extract active principles of Dravya with the help of medium like water, oil, alcohol, Ghrita. Panchavidha kashaya Kalpana includes Swarasa (liquid), Kalka (paste), Kwatha (decoction), Hima (cold infusion) and Phanta (hot infusion) and are fundamental Ayurvedic Bhaishajya Kalpana. Churna, Vati, Avaleha, Sneha & Sandhan Kalpana are modified forms of Panchavidha Kashaya Kalpana. Hence review of Swarasa Kalpana of single drug by Sharangadhara Samhita wsr to phytochemical analysis is taken.

Deviant behaviour, according to studies, is a serious problem for manufacturing and service organisations in developing and emerging nations, and this has also been observed even in academia. The study specifically looked at the role of spirituality as a mediator in the link between informational justice and deviant behaviour among university academics. Data were collected among university academics in Gombe state university and Federal university Kashere, Gombe state Nigeria. Structural Equation Model with Partial Least Square (PLS-SEM) was used to analyse the data. The results of the hypotheses reveal that informational justice has no significant negative effect directly on deviance behaviour; spirituality has a significant negative effect on deviance behaviour. Informational justice has a significantly positive effect on spirituality. The non-significance of informational justice direct effect on workplace deviance proves that there is a full mediation effect of spirituality. This implies that, to reduce deviant behaviour among university academics, merely informational justice is not enough, but it should increase spirituality. This study’s findings prove that informational justice can significantly reduce deviant behaviour among university academics when mediated by high spirituality.

Published: November 2023

In order to realize the rapid analysis and optimization of the flexible support structure, the parametric design method is used to establish the three-dimensional model. Basic dimension parameters of the flexible support structure are linked with external data sources, and the functional relationship between dimensions is established to ensure the rationality of the model. It only needs to change the data in the data source to realize the automatic update of the 3D model when the model needs to be reconstructed. Compared with the finite element method, the optimization model improves the efficiency of simulation analysis and optimization design. The model proposed in this paper can obtain the optimal solution by weighing the mass and deformation displacement of the structure.

Duopoly with Limited Rationality in Carbon Market: A Comparison of Carbon Quota Trading and Carbon Tax System
Authors: Chang Yu
Published: November 2023

China has established a nationwide carbon quota trading market. Drawing upon international experiences and the strategic vision of the Chinese government, it is anticipated that China will soon incorporate a carbon tax system. The futurescape envisions a parallel progression of both the carbon market and the carbon tax system. This prompts an exploration into the circumstances where one should prioritize the carbon market system over the other, and vice versa. This paper constructs a repeated oligopoly game model to juxtapose equilibrium points under both carbon trading and tax regimes. Through rigorous analysis, it is discerned that under a duopoly with bounded rationality and inelastic pricing, if the carbon tax is set referencing the clearing price of the carbon market, then both the carbon trading and tax regimes can achieve identical emission reduction outcomes. Stemming from this revelation, for regions with established inelastic, oligopolistic carbon markets, it would be prudent to manage emission sources not included in the carbon market by setting a carbon tax in line with the market's clearing emission price. Furthermore, measures might be considered to dismantle such oligopolistic dominance to enhance emission reduction efficiency, or to transition from the carbon market to a tax regime for cost-efficient administration. For regions yet to embrace a carbon pricing mechanism, if there's an anticipation of forming an oligopolistic and inelastic carbon market, given the lower administrative costs, diminished enterprise operational risks, and broader coverage of the carbon tax regime, the region should gravitate towards the carbon tax system as a priority.

O estudo teve como objetivo relatar a identificação de um paciente com hanseníase multibacilar através do teste sorológico (LID) em ação de busca ativa. Paciente do sexo masculino, 54 anos, residente em Governador Valadares, Minas Gerais, Brasil, proveniente da busca ativa do Núcleo de Pesquisa em Hansenologia (NuPqHans/UFJF-GV), apresentou teste sorológico positivo para proteínas recombinantes do bacilo (ML0405/ML2331). Encaminhado ao Centro de Referência de Doenças Endêmicas e Programas Especiais (CREDENPES), queixando-se de lesões na pele e nódulos pelo corpo, relatou histórico de traumas na cabeça, tonturas ocasionais, dormência nos pés e sangramento nasal. O paciente apresentou resultados de baciloscopia e biopsia positivos, concluindo o diagnóstico de hanseníase multibacilar, recebendo poliquimioterapia indicada. Após três meses de tratamento observou-se redução na área/diâmetro das lesões do abdômen, indicando a eficácia do tratamento. O resultado positivo do teste sorológico, permitiu a identificação de um paciente multibacilar, até então sem diagnóstico de hanseníase. Ademais, a utilização do teste sorológico LID nas atividades de busca ativa em áreas endêmicas para realização do diagnóstico precoce pode contribuir para o conceito zero hanseníase estipulado pela Organização Mundial da Saúde.
Emoldurando um terroir: o processo de europeização da paisagem socioambiental na região Vinhos de Altitude de Santa Catarina – Brasil
Authors: Ferri Gil Karlos , Nodari Eunice Sueli
Published: November 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é colocar em perspectiva histórica o processo de europeização da paisagem socioambiental pretendida por empreendimentos vitivinícolas da região dos Vinhos de Altitude, localizada no Planalto do Estado de Santa Catarina, Brasil. Embasados nos métodos da história ambiental global, utilizamos de observações in situ e fontes iconográficas para tecer uma narrativa sobre os elementos da paisagem socioambiental que estão sendo valorizados e divulgados, e quais estão sendo silenciados, para configurar uma imagem identitária deste novíssimo terroir e fomentar o enoturismo e a venda de vinhos e espumantes. A inserção de espécies exóticas – tanto nos vinhedos quanto no paisagismo das vinícolas –, o enoturismo e o marketing que opera para valorizar determinados elementos e silenciar outros merecem uma análise menos encantada com a europeização promovida por empresários e profissionais do setor e mais esclarecida sobre os impactos desse processo para o meio ambiente e a sociedade local.
A intrincada relação entre conhecimento e Educação Física escolar: uma apreciação de pesquisas acadêmicas
Authors: Nunes dos Santos Júnior Flavio , Garcia Neira Marcos
Published: November 2023

A pesquisa de cunho bibliográfico empreendeu uma análise de teses e dissertações disponíveis no banco de dados da Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações que discutiram os conhecimentos abordados nas aulas de Educação Física. As investigações encontradas foram confrontadas com o debate decolonial, um movimento latino-americano que faz fortes críticas à construção histórica de determinado conhecimento e modo de ser associado a uma perspectiva universal. Identificou-se um conjunto pesquisas que corroboram uma Educação Física e uma escola alicerçadas nas concepções da Modernidade, trabalhos que denunciam o caráter monocultural e moderno presentes nesses espaços, além de produções que dialogam com o paradigma do pensamento decolonial. A maioria da produção acadêmica contribui com as estruturas da Modernidade eurocentrada, na qual o conhecimento se apresenta como algo neutro, universal e hierarquizante, não havendo razão para questioná-lo. Tal constatação evidencia a urgência de estudos atentos aos saberes dos grupos subjugados historicamente, a fim de possibilitar reflexões coletivas capazes de gerarem uma Educação Física e uma ciência sensíveis aos diferentes valores, memórias e conhecimentos que compõem a sociedade, concretizando um movimento de resistência às operações da colonialidade sobre o corpo e potencializando o reexistir e a poética da existência que circunda as vidas.
Desafios e oportunidades no atendimento aos alunos superdotados na escola inclusiva
Authors: Cerqueira de Miranda Lúcia do Rosário
Published: November 2023

A educação é um direito de todos e para se atingir esse objetivo tem de ser diferenciada. Uma escola e uma sociedade que assumam a diversidade enriquecem-se com a diferença e tornam-se mais justas ao responderem às necessidades efetivas de cada um. Centrando a reflexão na educação do aluno superdotado, do ponto de vista científico e das práticas educativas, tem-se apontado para a necessidade de se criar um ambiente educacional que acolha e estimule as habilidades e a diversidade de talentos. Porém alguns países como por exemplo Portugal, tardam a definir medidas educativas específicas para estes alunos, quando a investigação aponta precisamente para o contrário. Neste trabalho tecem-se breves considerações sobre o atendimento aos alunos superdotados ou mais talentosos numa escola que se quer inclusiva. Analisa-se, brevemente, como é que Portugal tem promovido o direito a uma educação de qualidade com equidade, para os alunos superdotados ou mais talentosos. Por último, ilustra-se a relevância do atendimento aos alunos superdotados no contexto educacional com uma descrição do programa Odisseia, enquanto programa de desenvolvimento de talentos na escola regular. Espera-se contribuir para uma reflexão sobre o atendimento aos alunos superdotados numa escola que se pretende inclusiva.

Published: November 2023

Tea is one of the oldest and most widespread drinks around the globe. For a part of the population, tea is a product of prime necessity and is a part of many peoples traditional cultures around the world. Scientists worldwide have been interested in studying not only the biology and ecology of one particular species of higher plants but also other branches of knowledge that have made it possible to introduce a unique beverage to people all over the world and to involve huge labor resources in its production. There is a wide range of events that have been associated with tea, from medicinal remedies to sporting events. The establishment of tea growing on the territory of the Russian Empire and then in the USSR is a natural world trend and it is inseparably connected with the subtropical zone on the Caucasian Black Sea coast. The change of the social system allowed to organize tea industrial production in the Krasnodar region, having developed special lands and introducing new unique agrotechnical methods. At the moment, there is a decline in the industry due to various factors of economic, political, and legal nature. Plants of Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze strive to adapt to new conditions and survive among the Colchian forests, despite the upheavals of the nineties of the XX century. All conditions for survival have been created and laid down to the tea plants by man since time immemorial. The aim of this article is to study the origin of tea, the history of the introduction of tea bushes in Krasnodar region, and to highlight the current status of the tea plant. Keywords: CAMELLIA SINENSIS, SUBTROPICS OF RUSSIA, HISTORY OF TEA, INTRODUCTION, KRASNODAR TEA
