Published: October 2023

A balanced microbiota can play a role in the host's defense mechanism against pathogenic infections. E. coli is a harmless and beneficial commensal. An increase in bacteria will change their nature to become pathogens that can cause gastrointestinal disease, such as diarrhea. The management of such condition can be managed in several ways, including the consumption of probiotics. Fruitghurt is a variant of yogurt that is made using fruit juice. L. acidophilus is resistant to stomach acid; it can inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria and can maintain the number of live bacteria up to 107/ml. The research design used was experimental. The research subjects were white rats (Rattus norvegicus), with the Wistar strain as many as 27 rats. They were divided into 3 groups: 1. K (-),a negative control group that was not induced by E. coli and was not given fruitghurt; 2. K (+)a positive control group that was given E.coli, but not treated by fruitghurt; and 3. P1, the treatment group that was induced with E.coli and treated by fruitghurt. The results showed that guava fruitghurt could reduce E. coli colonies. The number of E. coli colonies after being given fruitghurt was 161, while in the rats that were not given fruitghurt, there were 258 colonies. Guava fruitghurt can reduce E. coli because of the flavonoid, tannin, and polyphenol contents found in red guava, which act as protein coagulators, antibacterials, and toxins, as well as L. acidophilus bacteria that can inhibit the growth and attachment of pathogenic bacteria in the digestive tract and inhibit the spread of pathogenic bacteria.

Authors: Okafor Emeka E. , Odulaja Olaoluwa T.
Published: October 2023

This study examines the resolve to mentor of individuals with no mentors, with male mentors, and with female mentors, using a sample of 70 male and 70 female potential mentors in the Nigerian work environment. Descriptive statistics showed that the greatest level of resolve to mentor was made by respondents in the female mentor group, followed by those in the male mentor group; the least was by respondents in the no mentor group. Results of one way analysis of variance revealed a significant difference in resolve to mentor of respondents in these groups. The source of the significant difference was the low resolve to mentor in the no mentor group compared to the high level recorded in the female mentor category. Generally, male respondents in each of the study groups reported a higher level of resolve to mentor than their female counterparts. These findings are discussed in the context of mentoring and goal commitment literature. The study represents the first enquiry of a potential mentor’s resolve to mentor. The practical implication of findings is that individuals will be more resolute to serve as mentors if organizations create a pleasant mentoring experience for them by training their mentors, especially male mentors, in the act of effective delivery of mentoring. Findings further suggest that better incentive to serve as mentors is possible through a reward policy and a training package to improve perceptions of mentor benefits, especially among female potential mentors who were less resolute to mentor.

Authors: Petras Ivo
Published: October 2023

This paper presents an innovative Mittag-Leffler two-dimensional filter and its application in the image processing. The proposed filter leverages the utilization of a Mittag-Leffler function within the probability density function. It introduces three adjustable parameters that enable the manipulation of the curve shape and the filter's forgetting factor. Moreover, a two-dimensional Mittag-Leffler distribution was defined and used for the first time in an image filter. By conducting a comparative analysis against conventional filtering techniques, the paper showcases the distinct advantages of the proposed filter through illustrative examples. Additionally, the paper provides detailed implementation explanations and presents the Matlab function corresponding to the proposed two-dimensional filter.
Novel Frequency-Domain Hybrid Circuit-Computational Electromagnetic Modelling of Photovoltaic Module Impedances
Authors: Coetzer Kurt , Wiid Pieter Gideon , Rix Arnold
Published: October 2023

A novel circuit-computational electromagnetic (CEM) hybrid simulation methodology, which results in vast improvements in the accuracy of high-frequency photovoltaic (PV) modelling between 1 Hz and 50 MHz, is proposed. At low frequencies, the impedance of a PV module is dominated by the behaviour of the PV cells, while at high frequencies it is dominated by the layout of the inter-cell connections. The proposed methodology considers both the low and high-frequency behaviour of a PV module in a single simulation. Firstly, the impedances of two PV modules are carefully measured using two vector network analyser configurations. Secondly, literature-based models of PV modules are adapted to the proposed methodology. Thirdly, improved models of each PV module are introduced in four ascending levels of complexity. These improved models comprise additional novel aspects, including distributed cell layouts and implicit CEM-calculated self-inductances. Fourthly, a feature-selective method is used to compare the measured results with the literature-based and improved models. This analysis yielded comparable error reductions of up to a factor of 400 -- highlighting the value of the improved methodology and models. Penultimately, the required level of computational resources is introduced, and the trade-off between simulation time and accuracy is discussed. Finally, a review discussion is presented.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perubahan pola solidaritas masyarakat pedesaan dalam menghadapi pandemi COVID-19 di Kabupaten Banyumas, dengan pendekatan kualitatif dan menggunakan alat analisis domain. Instrumen penelitian dengan focus group discussion dan wawancara terhadap perangkat desa, tokoh masyarakat, dan warga lokal. Penelitian dilaksanakan di salah satu desa di Kabupaten Banyumas, Provinsi Jawa Tengah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keberadaan pandemi COVID-19 dapat mengubah pola solidaritas masyarakat Banyumas dari yang sebelumnya menjunjung tinggi nilai gotong royong dan tolong menolong menjadi lebih individualis. Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sifat ketergantungan menjadi faktor utama perubahan pola solidaritas masyarakat Banyumas dalam menghadapi pandemi COVID-19. Bantuan makanan, masker, dan obat-obatan yang diberikan pemerintah membuat masyarakat bergantung dengan pemerintah daerah, sehingga masyarakat merasa tidak perlu melakukan gotong royong dan tolong menolong untuk memenuhi kebutuhan hidup selama pandemi COVID-19. Pola solidaritas masyarakat Banyumas yang sebelumnya didasarkan pada rasa senasib sepenanggungan mulai memudar, sehingga masyarakat Banyumas saat ini menjadi lebih individualistis.
Panniculitis; A Rare Cutaneous Mafestation of Sjögren’s Syndrome
Authors: Nalbant Merve , Akbaş Gamze , Özcan Yunus
Published: October 2023

Objective: Panniculitis, an inflammatory disorder primarily affecting subcutaneous adipose tissue, is frequently associated with inflammatory rheumatic diseases. Panniculitis is an uncommon cutaneous manifestation of Sjögren's syndrome (SS), an autoimmune disease primarily known for causing dry eyes and mouth.
Case: We report the case of a 56-year-old female initially diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, who later met the 2016 ACR-EULAR criteria for primary Sjögren’s syndrome. Following several treatments, she developed nodular lesions in the interscapular area, which were later diagnosed as septal panniculitis associated with SS. Panniculitis can sometimes precede the formal diagnosis of systemic diseases, such as SS. Therefore, it is essential to consider conditions like Sjögren syndrome in the differential diagnosis of unexplained panniculitis.
Conclusion: This case underscores the potential link between Sjögren's syndrome and panniculitis. Panniculitis may manifest before the formal diagnosis of Sjögren's syndrome. It is imperative to include connective tissue diseases, including not only the more common lupus erythematosus and dermatomyositis but also Sjögren's syndrome, in the differential diagnosis when confronted with unexplained cases of panniculitis
Contactos entre el francés y el español en el discurso periodístico: la variación morfosintáctica en el «Mercurio histórico y político» en la época de Salvador Mañer (1738-1745)
Authors: Carmona Yanes Elema
Published: October 2023

Este artículo estudia un corpus de textos redactados por Salvador Mañer, introductor en España de una de las cabeceras más importantes de la primera etapa de la prensa, el Mercurio histórico y político, que tradujo entre 1738 y 1745 de un original que se publicaba en francés en La Haya. El objetivo es analizar el alcance del influjo de la morfología de los textos fuente en relación con los otros factores que inciden sobre las elecciones del traductor para una serie de contextos gramaticales en los que la lengua española de la época presenta distintas posibilidades en el uso: el marcado preposicional del objeto directo, la selección del caso del pronombre personal átono, la duplicación de dativos, los relativos compuestos y el artículo ante nombres de país. Para ello nos basaremos en una serie de propuestas metodológicas que contemplan las relaciones entre originales y textos traducidos desde la óptica no prescriptivista de una multiplicidad de tipos de interferencias potenciales que no se limitan a aquellas que producen resultados anómalos o marcados para la lengua meta.

Authors: Mohd Nasir Nur Yuhanis , Mat Hussain Eizah , Hashim Nurhamizah , Embong Abdul Mutalib
Published: October 2023

Hikayat Raja Babi is an old Malay manuscript written in 1775 by a Semarang merchant named Usup bin Abdul Kadir while sailing to Palembang. It was handwritten in Jawi script and is in the collections of The British Library where it has been digitised, making it freely accessible by all. In 2015, Buku Fixi, a Malaysian publishing company, transliterated the manuscript and published a Romanised version of Hikayat Raja Babi. In 2020, the story was reproduced and published by Matahari Books as an illustrated storybook. This article discusses the adaptation of Hikayat Raja Babi into the version of The Malay Tale of the Pig King. The two texts are analysed based on Hutcheon’s theory of adaptation. Findings show that The Malay Tale of the Pig King has been adapted and simplified through appropriation process, making it suitable for young readers. The latter version still maintains the main story structure by having the same key events as in the original storyline. In addition to this, beautiful illustrations on the cover of the book and throughout the entire book makes The Malay Tale of the Pig King visually appealing.

Published: October 2023

Amyloidosis is a disorder in which soluble proteins aggregate and are deposited extracellularly in tissues as insoluble fibrils, causing progressive organ dysfunction. Amyloid fibril formation begins with misfolding of amyloidogenic precursor proteins. The fibrils have a characteristic appearance by electron microscopy and produce double refraction under polarized light when stained with Congo red dye. Classification of amyloidosis is based on the precursor proteins that form amyloid fibrils and the distribution of amyloid deposition both systemically and locally. The main form of systemic amyloidosis; AL amyloid, AA amyloidosis, ATTR amyloid. The kidney is the organ most frequently involved in systemic amyloidosis. Systemic amyloidosis may originate from anomalous proteins, such as immunoglobulin light chains or serum amyloid protein in chronic inflammation or may arise from hereditary disorders. The clinical manifestations of renal amyloidosis vary with the type of amyloid protein and the location and extent of amyloid deposition. Treatment of amyloidosis should be a two-part process; managing symptoms and reducing or stabilizing amyloid protein. Treatment of amyloidosis is focused on reducing the production of amyloidogenic proteins and inhibiting their aggregation.

The two mainstays of therapy for refractory epilepsy are medication and surgery. Child behavioral and cognitive aspects of epilepsy can be improved by using a specialized dietary regimen such as the ketogenic diet (KD). The purpose of this review is to expand our understanding of KD as a nutritional therapy for children with refractory epilepsy and to provide insight into the physiological aspects of its efficacy as an alternative to anti-seizure medication. Either directly or indirectly, ketones, glucose restriction, and polyunsaturated fatty acids regulate epileptic seizures. For KD to be effective, all three of these components must be present, even though the exact mechanism is unknown. Increasing gamma-aminobutyric acid, mitochondrial biogenesis, and oxidative phosphorylation levels can also serve as a means of promoting stable synaptic function while also decreasing neural activity and excitability. Most side effects of KD are caused by mild metabolic abnormalities such as acidosis, hyperuricemia, hypercholesterolemia, hypocalcemia, and hypomagnesemia. Since medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) produce more ketones per calorie than long-chain triglycerides, individuals who consume MCTs can consume more carbohydrates and protein. This review demonstrated that KD therapy led to positive outcomes for patients with refractory epilepsy. Further study is needed to evaluate whether less restrictive and easier-to-follow diets, such as the modified Atkins diet and MCT diets, have a similar effect on seizure treatment as the standard KD.

Published: October 2023

Objective

Associate demographic and work data and the empowering behavior of the nurse-leader from the perspective of nursing technicians and assistants.
Methods

Cross-sectional and correlational research carried out in a tertiary university hospital in the state of São Paulo. A total of 260 mid-level nursing professionals (nursing technicians and assistants) participated, using self-administered instruments from May to August 2021. To verify the association between the scale classes and the explanatory variables, a chi-square or Fisher’s exact test was performed in the SAS program. Relationships were statistically significant if p<0.05.
Results

The profile of the participants was predominantly female, mean age 41.9 years, daytime workers, workload of 36.7 hours and satisfied with their work. The application of the Leader’s Empowering Behavior instrument showed that the domain with the highest average of empowering behavior was “meaningful work” and the one with the lowest average was “autonomy in relation to bureaucracy”. Nursing assistants and technicians who worked during the day did not have other work relationships and were satisfied with it, in addition to observing the leader’s empowering behavior more.
Conclusion

Nurses’ behavior to empower their team, from the perspective of technicians and nursing assistants in the studied hospital, was good in most domains, except in the domain “autonomy from bureaucracy”, where it was reasonable. Working the day shift, not having other jobs and being satisfied with the job were aspects of greater empowerment.

Improvement of Cork Insulating Properties using Ecological Treatment with Prediction of the Diffusion Coefficient by ANN Approach, under the Effect of the Area and the Direction of the Cut
Authors: Boubakr Boukrida  , Tayeb Kermezli  , Mohamed Announ  , Mustapha Douani
Published: October 2023

The significance of this work involves improving the mechanical characteristics of cork with a high temperature treatment (THT) ecological treatment taking into consideration different parameters such as the growing area (Medea, Jijel and Skikda), the cutting direction (radial, tangential and longitudinal) and the nature of samples (native and treated). The THT result in the modification of the transport properties particularly the cork mass diffusion coefficient. The value of the apparent diffusion coefficient that best fit the experimental data was evaluated by the calibration of the developed mathematical model results. Thus, it can be concluded that the heat treatment led to a very significant improvement in the diffusion coefficient for treated cork that is grown in Jijel area and cut in the tangential direction. To refine the calculations, all the obtained results were optimized by the Bat-algorithm. The apparent coefficient diffusion ranges from DJTn=3.05x10-12m2s-1 to DJTt=1.17×10-13m2s-1, is determined with a root mean square error of 10-5. Furthermore, this investigation was completed by developing an artificial neural network model (ANN) in order to predict the impact of the different parameters on the apparent coefficient diffusion. Indeed, the results mentioned above have been confirmed by the neural network of an optimal architecture of (5-5-13-1) with a correlation coefficient value is equal to 0.9995.
Turbulent Airflows over Serrated Wings: A Review on Experimental and Numerical Analysis
Authors: Shiva Prasad Uppu  , Naren Shankar Radha Krishnan
Published: October 2023

The serrations on the blade's cutting edge and trailing edge are supposed to assist humans deal with noise, but the main idea is for research and use in nature. This research examines trailing edge extension hydrodynamics. Further, reducing the turbulent wake intensity behind the TE increases aerodynamic performance while leaving the static pressure distribution (as averaged across the span) substantially unaffected. Computational Aero-Acoustics simulates aerodynamic and acoustic reactions. This work discusses the experimental and computer simulations of turbulent flows. This paper provides the research to the technical community in the energy field (often non-specialists of turbulent flow investigations) with a summary of experimental and numerical techniques for investigating flows over a serrated wing, with a focus on the airfoil's self-noise generation mechanism and its main fields of application. The reader can use the given bibliography to determine the best method for the case of interest. This purpose means the individual tactics aren't discussed further. Given the breadth of acoustics, the experimental and numerical methods in this study can be used to forecast noise across serrated wings. It verifies that both strategies are still necessary, performing unique but complementary tasks.

Authors: Ardian Rahmat Irawan Sinaga  , Taufiq Nur  , Indra Surya
Published: October 2023

Indonesia is one of the largest exporting countries for palm oil production globally. In 2018, the country had a plantation area of 14.3 Million Ha, with palm Oil Production (Crude Palm Oil) of 40.5 million tons. It generates large amounts of waste, such as Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME), empty fluid bunch (EFB), fiber, and shells. POME has an organic content and contains carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. Generally, the POME by-products from palm oil mills in North Sumatra Province are processed using an Anaerobic treatment before environmental release. This method still disposes of pond waste. It produces CH4 and bad smells in the environment. This research uses Aspen Plus software to analyze converting the POME into bioethanol renewable energy that reduces environmental pollution caused by POME. Bioethanol production is processed biologically by fermentation. Based on the analysis of simulation, 10 L tons/day POME can produce main products 0.187 L Ton/day bioethanol with the content of up to 41.95% C2H5OH, 9.29% H2O, and 48.76% CO2, and by-products of 9.823 L Ton/day with the content of 99.7% H2O.

Published: October 2023

The perfect mixing process ensures the ideal substrate conditions for microorganisms to live to produce ethanol in the fermenter. The critical factors that affect the mixing process are the agitation speed, baffle configuration, and the impeller type. The Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software can make the study of fermenter hydrodynamics more convenient due to the cost savings of expensive apparatus and less time-consuming. This study aimed to examine the hydrodynamic characteristics of a fermenter using the ANSYS FLUENT 2021 R1 software and its validation. The hydrodynamics of the mixing process in the dual-pitched blade impeller bioethanol fermenter in agitation speeds of 200 to 1000 RPM and the effect of baffles were observed by simulation and experimentally. The realizable k-epsilon turbulence model and the Eulerian volume of fluid mixture multiphase model were used in this CFD simulation. The simulation results were relatively close to the experimental with similar flow patterns and low mixing time error, which is 7.9% on average. The results show that the higher the agitation speed, the higher the torque, power, and shear stress. The increasing agitation speed caused the lower mixing time. A faster mixing time was obtained in the fermenter with no baffle configuration.

Any scalar concentration discharging to the sea through a freshwater release is a thermodynamic two-phase flow including different densities and different temperatures. Because of Reynolds similarity, physical models are not feasible to use and numerical models such as CFD-RANS are the solutions. A series of numerical experiments have been conducted to derive an empirical formula that determines the length of the 95% scalar concentration reduction, useful for primary and emergency engineering-environmental decisions. Results show that the scalar concentration intrusion length is a function of seawater density-temperature, freshwater density-temperature, sea current Froude number, effluent jet Froude number, and the scalar concentration in which among those, the sea current Froude number has the most effective role in which as an example of the lowest and highest tested sea current velocities, an effluent discharge of 0.052 m3/s with a concentration of 1 Kg/m3 and effluent jet velocity 0.245 m/s in 3.2 meters from the effluent source reaches to the 95% scalar concentration reduction when there is a high-velocity sea current (0.5 m/s) while in the presence of a low-velocity sea current (0.05 m/s), the same effluent discharge with the same scalar concentration and the same effluent jet velocity, the length of the 95% scalar concentration reduction increase to 42.8 meters from the effluent source.

Published: October 2023

The Utility Vehicle, commonly known as a “ute” in New Zealand, and a “pickup” in other countries, is very popular for work, recreation and motorsport. This report investigates how the addition of a front splitter influences the handling ability on a Ford Courier Ute, for better aerodynamics during racing. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) were used to investigate the one-way fluid structure interaction of the speed of the Ute with and without the splitter modification. Three configurations of the splitter were modelled and analysed using SolidWorks 2022, CFD and FEA packages. The ground clearance between the splitter and the road was set at three heights, 200 mm, 150 mm and 50 mm. These designs were compared with the control, in terms of the amount of downforce, drag and aerodynamic efficiency. The ground clearance of 150 mm was optimal, in terms of the parameters investigated. The findings from this paper may inspire Ute enthusiasts to fit a splitter to their Ute for racing applications.

The Lane-Emden Boundary Value Problem as it appears in chemical applications, science, and biochemical applications are employed. Two specific models are solved by applying the Ananthaswamy-Sivasankari method (ASM). The model in first problem is a reaction–diffusion equation of a spherical catalyst and the model in second problem is the reaction–diffusion process of a spherical biocatalyst. Obtain a reliable semi-analytical expression of the effectiveness factors and the concentrations. A graph is constructed for the obtained semi-analytical solutions.The effects of several parameters like dimensionless activation energy, Thiele modulus and dimensionless heat of reaction are shown in graphical representation. Our semi-analytical solution is compared with numerical simulation by using MATLAB and finds good fit in all parameters. The new analytical method ASM is helpful to solve many non-linear problems mainly Reaction-Diffusion equation.

AbstractThe river in Ruak Village, Kluet Utara District, South Aceh is inseparable from the problem of water pollution which has decreased the quality of the river water. So it is necessary to carry out the process of improving water quality, one of which is by making a pollution detection device using Tds sensor technology, where this tool is designed to use NodeMcu as a controller and as a measuring tool to detect levels of mercury levels in the water. In addition to notifications on the serial monitor on the Total Dissolve Solid sensor, you can also get information from the Thingspeak web. The monitoring of river water pollution detection in Ruak village is a very useful alternative for the community in using safe water for their daily needs. Based on the results of the research that has been done, it can be concluded that the detection tool and information system are running smoothly as evidenced by the success of the detector in sending some information on the measurement results of the Tds sensor to the smartphone. The results of the test show that good water is used if it has ppm ≤ 100, then water is very good to use, if the content is more than 200 ppm, then water is not well used and information notification in the form of lights will be seen on the Thingspeak web channelKeywords:NodeMCU, Mercury, logam berat, IOT, river, Ruak_________________________AbstrakSungai di Desa Ruak Kecamatan Kluet Utara Aceh Selatan tidak terlepas dari masalah pencemaran air yang mengakibatkan menurunnya kualitas air sungai tersebut.

AbstractLaser cutting has been widely used and is growing rapidly in the manufacturing industry, both in the automotive sector and other production fields as needed for fast, precise and accurate cutting processes. Cutting using laser cutting makes it very easy for the production industry to cut steel, aluminum and other materials. However, errors that often occur at this time when input parameters are carried out in the operation of CNC laser cutting often result in defects in the cut material. The purpose of this study was to determine the variation of speed parameters for cutting aluminum alloy type 1050A material with a thickness of 0.8 mm. With these speed variations, it can be seen at what speed the material corresponds to during the laser cutting process. The method in this study was to use an experimental method with variable speeds of 33 mm/s, 55 mm/s and 88 mm/s, then look at the defects that arise and make measurements arising from the flatness of the plate using a digital dial indicator. The results of this study showed that the highest defects were on the average of sections A3 and B3 of 0.012 mm with a plate diameter of 50.2 and 45.2 mm with an aluminum plate thickness of 0.8 mm. At a speed of 33 mm/s, it can be concluded that the appearance of these defects is very small, ranging from 0.004 mm-0.008 mm.Keywords:Arise Defects; Aluminum Alloy; Laser Cutting. AbstrakPemotongan laser cutting telah banyak digunakan dan berkembang pesat di dunia industri manufaktur, baik di bidang otomotif maupun bidang produksi lainya sebagaimana dibutuhkan untuk proses pemotongan secara cepat, tepat dan akurat.
