An Experimental Investigation On The Effect Of Laser Energy Deposition In An Over-Expanded Jet
Authors: Syam S , Jassal Gauresh Raj , Schmidt Bryan E.
Published: July 2024

The shock train structure of a supersonic over-expanded jet is the product of the interaction between the jet flow at the nozzle exit and the ambient environment. Although the effect of flow disturbances on the performance of the supersonic inlets has been studied in detail, a limited understanding of the shock train dynamics subject to flow disturbances is available for over-expanded jets. This experimental investigation focuses on understanding the influence of perturbations due to short-duration energy deposition on the shock train structure and its dynamics in an axisymmetric over-expanded Mach 2.52 jet. The flow is perturbed by laser-induced breakdown, creating a shock wave and a high-temperature plasma zone in the shock train. A high-speed self-aligning focusing schlieren system is used to visualize the flow structure variations by measuring the shock angles and Mach disk height and width to characterize the shock train dynamics and the flow structure recovery process. The response of jet flow to the perturbation at the nozzle exit and the pre-reflection point is found to be similar, however, the response of the supersonic jet to the post-reflection energy deposition is significantly different. The damping ratio for the pre-reflection point and nozzle exit cases found are nearly constant for all scenarios whereas it is linearly dependent on the jet chamber pressure for the post-reflection cases. The frequency of the oscillations is found to be the same for all cases and irrespective of the chamber pressure, laser energy, and deposition location, approximately 10 kHz. The transition from Mach to regular reflection and vice versa are observed at a chamber pressure of Pc = 689 kPa. Any perturbation to the shock structure of a supersonic over-expanding jet at close to the steady-state bifurcation condition between Mach and regular reflection will exhibit Mach-to-regular transition or vice versa.

Published: July 2024

The boiling of dielectric fluids in miniaturised channels has emerged as one of the most promising solutions to high- density electronics cooling. Although significant breakthroughs have been made, a fundamental understanding of the hydrodynamic and thermal performance in relevant flows is still lacking, which calls for further development of state-of-the-art measurement techniques and their deployment for the provision of high-quality, detailed experimental information. To this end, we conducted an experimental investigation of flow boiling in a miniaturised vertical square channel with a hydraulic diameter of 5 mm, using HFE-7100 as the working fluid. A whole-field thermographic imaging approach referred to as single-dye multispectral planar laser-induced fluorescence (SDMS-PLIF) was developed and applied to measure spatiotemporally-resolved temperature fields. For its implementation, Nile Red, a thermosensitive lipophilic dye, was dissolved in HFE-7100 as a fluorophore. The measurements were taken at selected conditions to achieve a nucleate boiling regime in a laminar flow. Time-lapse temperature maps provided direct evidence for bubble-induced mixing observed as thermal plumes, where a portion of hot fluid is advected above the thermal boundary layer at the heated wall and penetrates the colder bulk phase in the flow core.

An Examination of Political Patronage and Maladministration on State-Owned Entities with Specific Reference to South African Airways: A Literature Study
Authors: Motswaledi Thabang Richard , Maseng Jonathan Oshupeng
Published: July 2024

South Africa is one of the states across the globe that is rattled with corruption and maladministration in multiple state institutions. The high rates of corruption within the government were alarming with the local, provincial, and national levels of governance such that multiple measures and task teams were established to combat this discourse. However, this has in recent years seen the spike in corruption now overlapping the State-Owned Entities (SoEs) and not so much in governmental administration. Political elites have used their influence to penetrate the state's entities to either loot their resources, cause nepotism, or harvest tenders in a corrupt manner. Thus, political patronage has allowed the occupation of these entities due to relations at the party level which escalates to business relations. Thus, cadre deployment of less skilled individuals based on political affiliations has led to corruption and maladministration of most state entities such as South Africa Airways (SAA). Through relying on qualitative methods, specifically existing literature and various official documents which describes the effects of political patronage and maladministration on SoEs with specific reference to SAA, this paper reveals that political patronage has contributed to maladministration of SoEs. Thus, due to political patronage and maladministration SAA has failed to be an epitome of effectiveness in discharging its legislative duties.

Discipline is one of the factors in successfully achieving learning goals. Disciplined teachers will have a positive impact on student development, so dedication and high responsibility are required. A teacher is required to be able to influence thought patterns, have broad insight, and must also have adequate competence, both in educational science, methodology, or the discipline that he will teach. The teaching profession is a noble profession, although it is sometimes looked down upon, it is very crucial in preparing the nation's next generation, who will continue the nation's leadership relay in the future. Teachers are also required to be able to provide good role models, so that they can produce generations that can be aspired to in the future. The benchmark for whether the condition of society is good or not is the world of education. Meanwhile, the main actors in the world of education are teachers, because teachers are the ones who will shape students to be good or bad. What society expects as a product of education from their children is their achievements, both academic and non-academic.According to Ulfatin and Triwiyanto (2016: 102), teacher discipline is a state of order and order that teachers have when working at school, without violations that are detrimental either directly or indirectly to themselves, their students and their colleagues.The research model used is the exponential model. The type of data used is primary data. Primary data is data taken through observation, interviews and documentation. Based on the results of student observations regarding the time discipline of both teachers and students, namely: 1. The culture of morning roll call which is held every day at Gmit 023 Ruilak Elementary School is 7.15 but based on observations of student teachers and students, not all of them are disciplined with time. Usually the teacher who arrives first on time is the teacher who has the task of leading the morning roll call while other teachers come. being late for school and not all of the students being there on time so that awareness of time discipline for both teachers and students is still very low.

Currently, competition in the world of work is getting tougher and unemployment is increasing. Forcing the government to immediately overcome unemployment by expanding job opportunities is impossible. Unemployment does not only come from people who do not have expertise in certain fields but also from employees who are retired early by companies, both large and small companies. Thus, you can imagine how many Indonesians do not have jobs. In this case there must be awareness from the whole community to play an active role in overcoming unemployment because the government only helps with government programs such as UKM (Small and Medium Enterprises). When running a small and medium business, you need a business analysis so that the business can run well, one of these businesses is a Padang restaurant. The aim of the research is to analyze small and medium Padang restaurant businesses. This research uses qualitative methods and is classified as field research with semi-structured interviews and documentation as data collection techniques. The findings from this research are that there are several things that need to be improved in managing a Padang restaurant business, including: the quality of the food must remain stable, the taste of the employees is friendly, the business premises are clean, prayer places must be provided and so on.

impact of sport-specific achievement and affiliation motives on young athletes' dropout and persistence in elite sports
Authors: Schröder Sebastian , Knisel Elke
Published: July 2024

This study aims to compare the sport specific achievement and affiliation motive structures of athletes who later decide to dropout or continue their elite sports career. In addition, groups of athletes were analyzed separately according to age, gender and type of sport in order to identify possible group differences. 146 young elite athletes were analyzed (64 girls, 82 boys, mean age: 13.55, SD = 1.14) and self reported about their motive structure. The data were collected using the German Achievement Motive Scale-Sport and the German Affiliation Motive Scale Sport. Significant differences were found between the athletes who dropped out from junior elite sports and athletes who continued in the fear of failure of the achievement motive. The analysis of gender differences shows that female athletes generally exhibited significantly higher levels of fear motives. We found no differences between female athletes who continue and discontinue the sport career. The male athletes who dropped out showed a higher level of the hope of affiliation und fear of rejection. When comparing the different age groups, it was found in the older age groups that the fear to fail motives differs significantly between the adherence and the dropout group. The results indicate that the fear of failure represents an unfavourable motivation profile for a long-term sporting career. Considering that the motivational structure has an impact on continuing a sports career the motivational profile has to be diagnosed at an early stage and then tackled accordingly in order to avoid an early dropout.

The Efficiency of Insecticides against Insects in the Bukit Kor Cultivation Area, Terengganu, Malaysia
Authors: Abdul Malik Muhammad , Yulia Hilda , Hashim Nur Aida
Published: July 2024

The Bukit Kor cultivation area in Terengganu, Malaysia, reflects natural diversity that is vital for agriculture and crop maintenance. The role of insects in agricultural ecosystems as pollinators, pest predators, and maintainers of natural balance is crucial. However, insects can also be a serious threat, prompting farmers to use insecticides as a primary solution. Although effective in controlling pests, insecticide use must be balanced with ecological precautions. Side effects of insecticides on non-target insects, including pollinators and natural predators, can threaten agricultural sustainability. Therefore, a sustainable, integrated pest management approach is critical, considering insecticide selection, dosage, and frequency of use. Educating farmers about sustainable practices such as crop rotation, organic fertilizers, and green technologies can reduce insecticide dependence. The importance of collaboration between government, researchers, and farmers cannot be ignored. Research into local insect ecology, development of pest-resistant crop varieties, and training in sustainable farming practices can form the basis of sustainability at Bukit Kor. With this approach, this region will develop and become an example of sustainability for other areas. Experimental research was carried out at the Bukit Kor cultivation site to evaluate the efficiency of two types of insecticides against certain insect groups. Data analysis revealed variations in response between insecticides, temporal dynamics of insecticide effects, and association of responses with specific insect species. These conclusions have practical implications for agricultural pest management, emphasizing the need for sustainable policies in selecting and using insecticides.

Introduction: The study and teaching of human anatomy are important processes to understand how the human body presents itself and relates to other species. Osteology techniques are important for the classification of anatomical variations, scientific research tools and didactic use, and are performed through the physical, chemical or biological cleaning of bones to preserve the skeleton. Objective: To prepare, conserve, describe and catalog human bones from the Human Anatomy Laboratory of the Regional University Center of Espírito Santo do Pinhal, UniPinhal. Method: 50 complete human skeletons were donated to UniPinhal's Human Anatomy Laboratory and underwent a process of general and specific cleaning, disinfection, bleaching, drying, description, cataloging in its own database, conservation and storage. Result: All 50 skeletons underwent all processes, with 30% in good condition, 55% in medium or poor condition and 15% presenting pathological findings, such as bone malformations, fractures and vicious bone consolidation. The mean age at death was 64 ± 16 years. Most were male (67%, n = 33) and declared white (57%, n = 28). The most common cause of death was septic shock (31%, n = 15) and an estimated 40% (n = 20) of deaths were of unnatural causes. A total of 5729 bones were cataloged in the database. Conclusion: The male skeletons and the color declared as white are the largest number in the ossuary, and a third were in good condition for use in practical classes, scientific research, anatomical and forensic studies by students of Health courses.

Published: July 2024

This work presents field and laboratory geotechnical studies, with emphasis on compaction tests according to the recommendations of the Test Method for Airport Infrastructure Works (AASHTO Method) and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) tests, with the aim of determining the CBR using the DIRENG-ME-01/87 method for subgrade material, which takes into account the CBR corresponding to 95% of the dry specific mass compacted at the Modified Proctor energy, resulting from the composition of the graph of the three compaction energies (normal, intermediate and modified). The study involved an extensive bibliographical survey, field and laboratory work with geotechnical tests, as well as the appropriate processing of the results obtained. The studies showed that the soils have visual tactile characteristics with a predominance of latosol type sandy-silty clay to red sandy-silty clay. In addition, classification by the Unified Soil Classification System (SUCS) showed a predominance of low plasticity silt (ML), but also by TRB (HRB) a predominance of clayey soils (A-7-5). The CBR values using the DIRENG-ME-01/87 method for the 18 samples studied ranged from 8.1% to 9.0%, with an average value of 8.7%, representing 61% of the average CBR value of the modified energy, which was 14%.

Published: July 2024

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has brought profound transformations in various spheres of society, forcing countries to adapt their education systems as strategies for interrupting teaching. Accordingly, this article deals with the implications of the teaching and learning model adopted and applied during the Covid-19 period for higher education, based on an analysis of the experiences of the ISPB and ISPM. The text explores the notion of remote education as a teaching system that allows the continuity of classes in the context of a pandemic crisis - at the same time as establishing the difference with distance learning. The study was conducted using bibliographical research and a quantitative approach. The data collection instrument adopted was a questionnaire, applied in two ways: online via Google form and face-to-face. The results led to the conclusion that students expressed a higher level of dissatisfaction with the application of remote education during the pandemic. What's more, the online solutions applied during this period were not significantly productive. A large proportion of them did not participate in online classes due to lack of financial resources, digital resources and lack of motivation. It can also be seen that, in general, the level of interaction and collaboration in all instances was somewhat weak. However, despite all the constraints, the study reveals that some of those who took part in the online study, i.e. remote education, were able to develop some collaborative skills, and that the online classes contributed to improving meaningful learning.
Design – Between Passion and Object of Protection
Authors: Moisei Andrei
Published: July 2024

The European course of economic development, drawn by the Republic of Moldova in recent years, has generated an avalanche of normative acts that have conceptually changed, in some places, the bases of legislation, and in some segments have established social, economic or cultural relations that did not exist until now, such relationships also bringing a specific terminology, less known in society, in some cases the same notion having different meanings taken from different sources. In this context, the problem society often faces is that either the object covered by the notion is not clearly defined or the object in question is perceived differently even in policy documents, especially those focused on training, when the matter is about a specialty, the disciplines necessary for the training of a specialist and the product generated by this specialist, the identification and protection of that product. Such a situation raises confusion or even conflict. For this reason, in this paper we will try to clarify the mean-ing of the notions of design, designer and design object, as well as the relationship of these notions with the field of intellectual property.

This paper is focused on the study of the three-dimensional structures of collagen extracted from the umbilical-placental complex with the aim of use in oral-maxillofacial surgery. Collagen was ex-tracted from the umbilical-placental complex by a modified enzymatic method that involves initial purification with different surfactants to remove blood and cellular components and ensure non-im-munogenicity. The null hypothesis of the concerned works consists in the fact that the surfactants used do not act on the collagen structures. Three-dimensional collagen structures were developed by the lyophilization process and were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, Young’s modulus (elasticity), thermogravimetry and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and microscopy.
The importance of trust
Authors: Walson Philip D
Published: July 2024

It seems as if the entire world is dealing with a lack of trust, even in many things that have enriched and sustained human development, including our neighbours, teachers, the press, corporations, politicians, religious leaders, scientists, academic institutions, governments, and even the basic concepts of democracy. Lack of trust is posing a direct threat to our health by limiting acceptance the use of even the most well-proven, basic medical advances such as vaccines.

Unveiling the Genetic Resemblances and Phylogenetic Relationship of Species Belonging to the Family Mastacembelidae (Teleostei: Synbranchiformes) from Indian Waters
Authors: Barman Manabjyoti , Phukan Bipul , Talukdar Avinash , S Silpa
Published: July 2024

The present study has been carried out to evaluate the genetic divergence among species of the family Mastacembelidae (common name: spiny eels) from India and to establish their phylogenetic relationship. Twenty reference sequences from NCBI GenBank database were obtained for five species viz. Macrognathus aral, Macrognathus aculeatus, Macrognathus guentheri, Macrognathus pancalus and Mastacembelus armatus, and used for the molecular analysis. The within species difference ranged between 0.32 to 1.12% except Mastacembelus armatus (9.00%). The lowest genetic distance was between Macrognatus guentheri and Macrognathus pancalus while the highest genetic distance was evident between Macrognathus aculeatus and Mastacembelus armatus. The findings of the present study may be used as baseline information on the molecular divergence of species belonging to the family Mastacembelidae from Indian water.

Authors: Tadeo Caicedo Mavel , Castillo Del Valle Harol Marcial
Published: July 2024

El estudio se enfocó en evaluar y abordar los comportamientos agresivos de un niño de 10 años mediante diversas estrategias psicopedagógicas, con objetivo principal reducir los niveles de agresividad. El problema de investigación entorno al cual giró este estudio es: ¿Las Estrategias psicopedagógicas propuestas atienden la conducta de un niño con discapacidad intelectual leve estudiante de cuarto año de EGB? La investigación se enmarca en un estudio cuasi- experimental de enfoque mixto, realizada en tres momentos distintos: la evaluación inicial, la implementación de las estrategias psicopedagógicas y la evaluación final. En la evaluación inicial, tanto el niño como su docente completaron la Escala de Agresividad AQ, revelando altos niveles de agresividad física, verbal, ira y hostilidad. Posteriormente, se implementaron estrategias como el sistema de economía de fichas, el tiempo fuera y talleres cognitivo-conductuales con los padres, durante cuatro semanas con revisiones semanales. Finalmente, en la evaluación final, se reaplicó la Escala de Agresividad AQ, mostrando una reducción significativa en todos los aspectos evaluados. La participación activa de la madre y la docente fue fundamental para el éxito de las intervenciones, destacando la importancia de un enfoque colaborativo en el manejo de estos comportamientos. Este estudio resalta la importancia de intervenir tempranamente en comportamientos agresivos en niños, proporcionando una base para futuras investigaciones y prácticas en contextos educativos y familiares.
Boundaries and Music Therapy Practices in Greece: A Small Qualitative Study
Authors: Papadopoulou Maria-Christina
Published: July 2024

The use of therapeutic boundaries is an essential aspect of music therapy work internationally. However, the influence of cultural and training factors on the use of boundaries has not been explored in-depth yet. This paper presents a small qualitative study, which investigates the use of boundaries in music therapy by Greek therapists, by taking into consideration how their use is influenced by their own cultural and training backgrounds. For the purposes of this study, online email interviews with three Greek music therapists working in Greece were conducted. Interpretative phenomenological analysis was used to analyse the data that was collected through the interviews. The main findings show that Greek music therapists use boundaries in their music therapy practice according to the professional European standards. However, therapists spoke of flexibility and variations in the use of boundaries to adapt to cultural differences in their own local settings and to meet individual clients’ needs.
