UTILIZING FIBER MESH AND NYLON ROPE AS NON-STEEL REINFORCEMENT FOR SANDWICH CONCRETE PLATE PRECAST IN COASTAL AREA STRUCTURES
Authors: Elvira Elvira
Published: June 2024

Reinforced concrete, a popular construction choice, is often selected due to the limited availability of materials like wood and increased familiarity with concrete. However, coastal structures using steel bars in reinforced concrete usually face corrosion issues. Corrosion can be mitigated by increasing concrete compressive strength and enlarging the concrete cover to protect the steel from saltwater. These measures are challenging for small structures due to the small dimensions of columns, beams, and plates, making thick concrete covers difficult. Additionally, small structures are often built manually or semi-manually, complicating the achievement of higher compressive strength and watertightness. However, there is hope. Researchers have developed reinforced concrete with non-metal reinforcement, such as fiber mesh and nylon rope, and combined regular and lightweight concrete to reduce dead loads, creating a sandwich concrete slab. Test results show that the slab has sufficient strength for light construction, with a strong bond between mortar and foam concrete. Although fiber mesh and nylon rope do not yet increase the slab's flexural strength, nylon rope prevents brittle failure. This promising research paves the way for further studies and potential improvements in the future.

Published: June 2024

The use of technology remains a need to integrate into the teaching-learning process. Meanwhile, the students are still weak in reading skills with their low critical thinking capacity and engage more activities not being tied and integrated into the learning process at school. The aim of this study was to explain the effectiveness of the scaffolding strategy using GWE on the students’ descriptive reading skills and critical thinking and to inquire about the relationship between those two variables. This study used a quasi-experimental design with two research instruments, namely a standardized descriptive text test sourced from the National Examination from 2005-2019 and a 21-critical thinking questionnaire items that had been validated by the expert. The subjects of this research were the tenth grade of senior high students of an integrated public school in Tana Tidung and were taken randomly to be an experimental class and a control class with 32 students for each of these classes. The results revealed that the implementation of the scaffolding strategy with the use of GWE could develop the students’ descriptive reading skills and critical thinking. Additionally, their descriptive reading skills and Greenstein’s critical thinking across four dimensions, namely: (a) critical thinking, multiple viewpoints; (b) analysing information; (c) using data to develop critical insight; and (d) using data to develop advanced clarification indicated stronger relationship. Thus, the implementation of the scaffolding strategy had to be supported to develop in the teaching learning process and to research in a broader scope for continual development.

Active mixing by self-propelled Janus sponge Marangoni motors with self-maintaining surface tension gradients.

Published: June 2024

Small scale Marangoni motors, which self-generate motion by inducing surface tension gradients on water interfaces through release of surface-active “fuels”, have recently been proposed as self-powered mixing devices for low volume fluids. Such devices could lead to drastic rate improvements in processes reliant on diffusion limited reactions, without reliance on externally powered actuation, allowing for off-grid applications. Such devices however, often show self-limiting lifespans due to the rapid saturation of surface-active agents, resulting in a loss of motion far before depletion of their “fuel”. A potential solution to this is the use surface-active agents which do not persist in their environment. Here we investigate menthyl acetate as a safe, inexpensive and convenient fuel for Marangoni motors. Menthyl acetate is a hydrophobic oil which reacts slowly with water to produce menthol, a high vapor pressure surface active agent. We demonstrate millimeter scale silicone sponge Marangoni motors, loaded with asymmetric “Janus” distributions of menthyl acetate show velocities and rotational speeds up to 30 mm per second and 500 RPM respectively, with their functional lifetimes scaling linearly with fuel volume. We show these devices are capable of enhanced mixing of solutions at orders of magnitude greater rates than diffusion alone.

Experiments and theory are combined to search for catalyst activity and stability descriptors for the direct reactive capture and conversion (RCC) of CO2 in ammonia capture solutions using Cu, Ag, Au, Sn and Ti electrodes. Two major phenomena emerge in RCC that are not predominant in the electrochemical CO2 reduction (CO2R) reaction, namely, the rapid corrosion and restructuring of the catalyst in the presence of the CO2-ammonia adducts, and the promotion of the competing hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The prevalence of HER in RCC is correlated to the electrostatic attraction of the protonated amine to the electrode and the repulsion of the captured CO2, using the potential of zero charge (PZC). The stability of catalysts under RCC conditions is a function of the applied potential and cannot be readily predicted using binding energy descriptors commonly used in the prediction of CO2R activity. Three different trends are experimentally observed under RCC testing: i) Cu, and Sn corrode under open circuit potential and produce predominantly hydrogen, ii) Au and Ag show activity for the reduction of dissolved CO2 and restructure under cathodic potentials, and iii) Ti does not corrode under open circuit conditions and only generated hydrogen as reduction product. This work shows that a direct correlation between calculated binding energies of CO2R intermediates, atomic oxygen, hydrogen, and ammonia, and the activity and stability of transition metal for RCC cannot be found, highlighting the need for further development of activity and stability descriptors beyond those known for CO2R.
AHMET HAMDİ TANPINAR’IN “BEŞ ŞEHİR VE “BURSA’DA ZAMAN” ADLI ESERLERİNDE TARİHİ DEVAMLILIK BAĞLAMINDA BURSA
Authors: Barış Tayfun
Published: June 2024

Türk edebiyatında Cumhuriyet devri şair ve yazarlarından olan Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar (1901-1962) kaleme almış olduğu şiirleri, romanları, hikâyeleri, denemeleri, mektuplarıyla hem sahip olduğu zengin kültür birikimini hem de önemli bir fikrî derinliğe uzanan sanatkârane üslubunu somut bir şekilde ortaya koymuştur. Bu yönüyle Türk edebiyat ve kültür tarihinde değerli bir yer edinen Tanpınar, zamana olan bütüncül yaklaşımıyla mazi-hâl-istikbâl arasındaki akışı eserlerinde özgün bir aydın hassasiyetiyle yansıtmaya gayret etmiştir. Türk toplumunun Tanzimat’tan beri yaşadığı buhranı, kültür kaybını, maddî-menavî değerler arasındaki çatışmayı Bergson’un zaman anlayışından ilhamla yekpâre bir zaman kavramı anlayışıyla tedavi etmeye çalışan Tanpınar; bağımsız, önyargısız bununla birlikte sorumlu bir aydın karakteriyle ön plana çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, buraya kadar zikredilen hususların yazar tarafından Bursa şehri özelinde nasıl ele alındığı, eserde yer alan “Bursa’da Zaman” adlı bölümde yer verilen mekânlar ve şahsiyetlerden yola çıkılarak açıklanmaya çalışılacaktır. Tanpınar bu yer ve şahsiyet adlarını salt bir bilgi yığını halinde değil kendisini de anlatmaya çalıştığı tarihi dönemlerin bir parçası şeklinde, adeta yaşayarak, içeriden bir karakter gibi hikâye etmektedir. Bu özellik de onun Bursa ile gönül ve duygu bağını hiç koparmadığını, muhayyilesindeki zaman algısı içerisinde Bursa şehrinin daima önemli bir yer işgal ettiğini de göstermektedir. Ayrıca bu açıklamalara ilave olarak, her şeyden önce şair kimliğiyle de ön plana çıkan Tanpınar’ın kitaptaki bölümün adıyla aynı ismi verdiği Bursa’da Zaman adlı şiirinde yer alan mekân ve şahsiyet eksenli tarihi devamlılık unsurlarına da temas edilmeye çalışılacaktır.
A comparative study of fuzzy logic based UPQC and D-STATCOM for mitigation of power quality problem
Authors: Yisfalem Tsegaye Dessalegn , Yeshitela Shiferaw Maru
Published: June 2024

This paper begins by investigating a power quality problem in the case study area using monthly energy consumption data, the peak and minimum load of the substation, a fault summary, and the RMS voltage profile of the case study area. The content of the paper comprises three parts: the first involves MATLAB design and simulation of D-STATCOM with a fuzzy logic controller for the selected case study area. The second part entails MATLAB design and simulation of the DVR with a fuzzy logic controller. The final part presents a hybrid of the DVR and the D-STATCOM back-to-back using a DC link capacitor to implement a more recent and effective power quality improvement technique, namely UPQC. In the case of a three-phase fault, the voltage sag in the case study area is 0.6PU, with the remaining 0.4PU drop-down voltage requiring injection using the proposed FACT device for compensation. All proposed power quality problem mitigation techniques inject the required voltage and compensate for the voltage sag in the substation. For instance, D-STATCOM compensates the RMS voltage from 9KV to 14KV, DVR compensates the RMS voltage from 9KV to 14.7 KV, and UPQC compensates the value to 14.9KV. Due to the three-phase fault, the rise in reactive power of the existing outgoing feeder is 13MW. This unexpected rise in reactive power is reduced to 2.6 MW using D-STATCOM, DVR reduces it to 1.2 MW, and UPQC reduces the value below 1MW. The existing power factor of the case study area without any mitigation technique is 0.68. All proposed techniques improve the existing power factor to a more acceptable value. For instance, D-STATCOM improves the power factor from 0.68 to 0.83, DVR improves the value to 0.88, and UPQC, the more accurate power quality mitigation technique, improves the power factor to 0.93. Finally, the results are compared based on the simulation results.
IoT based electric power theft detection system
Authors: Ritu Tripathi
Published: June 2024

Science and technology, with their miraculous advancements, have fascinated human life to such an extent that imagining a world without these innovations is hardly possible. While technology is on the rise, an increase in immoral activities should also be noted. From a technical perspective, “power theft” is a non-ignorable crime that is highly prevalent and directly affects the economy of a nation. Today's life is unimaginable without electricity, almost all things, equipment, and appliances used daily rely on electric power to run smoothly. Solar energy is an alternative but has limitations, such as environmental changes and high initial costs. From rural to urban areas and from domestic to industrial sectors, the use of electricity has increased, but so has power theft. Detecting and eradicating such crimes with the help of the developing scientific field is the “need of the hour.” With these views, the paper was conceived and designed. The paper provides a complete and comprehensive tool to stop power theft, which is extremely simple to understand and easy to implement.

Economic barriers to accessing support for children with paediatric feeding difficulties can have serious repercussions, including parental stress and emotional fatigue, the child developing a negative relationship with food and health risks such as undernourishment, aspiration pneumonia or choking. We explored the financial and psychological impact experienced by parents and caregivers raising a child with a feeding difficulty in Aotearoa. Respondents were 88 parents or caregivers of a child with a feeding difficulty, living in Aotearoa. Respondents completed an online survey with 34 questions, the majority of which were multi-choice. Open-ended responses provided exemplars and detail. The results indicate that many families (64.3%) experience a significant but small impact associated with raising a child with feeding difficulties in Aotearoa. However, 36.4% of respondents reported a moderate to significant financial impact. Barriers to working caused by feeding challenges and childcare, as well as non-medical expenses, contributed to financial strain and psychological impacts experienced by respondents. Parents struggled to find support for their own wellbeing.
An upstream approach to addressing the childhood obesity epidemic in New Zealand—a call to action
Authors: Men Velia
Published: June 2024

Childhood obesity is a critical issue in New Zealand that we can no longer afford to ignore. Currently, one in three children is overweight or obese, putting the health of an entire generation at risk if we continue to delay taking action. This issue highlights a significant matter of equity. Māori and Pacific children and those from socio-economically deprived backgrounds are disproportionately affected, reminding us of the systemic barriers rooted in historical factors that exist within our society. Efforts focussed on changing individual behaviour have achieved limited success in reducing childhood obesity rates. Therefore, it is necessary to shift our focus upstream and address the root causes of this issue. This viewpoint piece underscores the role of the obesogenic environment as the primary driver of childhood obesity, advocating for an upstream approach to enact broader changes in the food environment. Within this framework, this piece puts forward three policy measures that could be essential in addressing the childhood obesity epidemic: implementing a tax on sugary beverages, restricting unhealthy food marketing and ensuring access to healthy food in schools. These policies are backed by substantial evidence of their efficacy, cost-effectiveness and potential to improve health equity, including contextual evidence from successful international models. However, despite ample evidence and support, New Zealand has fallen behind international standards in adopting these measures, partly due to resistance from the food industry and the need for stronger political leadership. Thus, a “call to action” is needed to overcome these challenges, mobilise against the current policy inertia and make addressing childhood obesity a priority.

aims: New Zealand melanoma incidence rates are amongst the highest in the world. The study aims to provide information on the incidence of cutaneous melanoma in New Zealand from 2000 to 2022. methods: De-identified data were extracted from the New Zealand Cancer Registry using the ICD-10 code for malignant melanoma (C34) and melanoma in situ (MIS) (D03) from 2000 to 2022. Statistical analysis was performed to calculate melanoma incidence rates. results: Invasive melanoma (IM) incidence rates demonstrated an increasing trend from 2000 to 2008 (+1.10 per 100,000 person-years per year), followed by an inflection point at 2008 and then a decreasing trend from 2008 to 2022 (-0.28 per 100,000 person-years per year), which was not statistically different from zero/no change. MIS incidence increased from 30.3 to 72.1 per 100,000 person-years between 2000 and 2022. conclusions: The incidence of IM in New Zealand has plateaued in the last decade and was associated with an increase in MIS incidence over the same period. While this trend is encouraging, further research is required to investigate whether there is an actual decline in IM incidence.
The impact of intensive blood pressure management in the post-thrombolysis setting: a real-world observational study

aim: Systolic blood pressure (SBP) >180mmHg following stroke thrombolysis has been associated with increased bleeding and poorer outcome. Aiming for the guideline SBP of <180mmHg often leads to SBP overshoot, as treatment is only triggered if this threshold is passed. We tested whether a lower target would result in fewer high SBP protocol violations. method: This is a single-centre, sequential comparison of two blood pressure protocols. Between 2013 and 2017, the guideline-based post-thrombolysis SBP target of <180mmHg was compared with a new protocol aiming for 140–160mmHg. The primary outcome was rate of patients with SBPs >180mmHg. Secondary outcomes included rates of SBP <120mmHg, antihypertensive infusion use, symptomatic intracerebral haemorrhage (sICH) and 3-month functional independence (modified Rankin Score [mRS] 0–2). Results were adjusted for age, baseline function and stroke severity using regression analysis. results: During the 23 months preceding and 18 months following the transition to the new protocol, 68 and 100 patients were thrombolysed respectively. Baseline characteristics were similar between groups. The odds of one or more SBPs >180mmHg trended lower in the intensive group (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.61; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.32–1.17; p=0.14). There was a higher rate of SBPs <120mmHg (aOR 3.09; 95% CI 1.49–6.40; p=0.002) in the intensive BP protocol group. sICH rate and 3-month mRS 0–2 were similar between groups. conclusions: The more intensive post-thrombolysis BP protocol was associated with a significant increase in sub-optimally low BP events, with a non-significant trend toward fewer high BP protocol violations and unaffected patient outcomes.
High-Capacity Coherent WDM Networks Empowered by Probabilistic Shaping and End-to-End Deep Learning

Published: June 2024

To optimize the functionality of coherent optical fiber communication (OFC) systems and enhance their capacity related to long-haul transmissions, wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) and probabilistic constellation shaping (PCS) techniques have been used. This paper develops an end-to-end (E2E) deep learning (DL)-based PCS algorithm, i.e., autoencoder (AE) for a high-order modulation format WDM system that minimizes nonlinear effects while ensuring high capacity and considers system parameters, in particular those related to the OFC channel. Only the AE of the central channel is trained to meet the specified performance objective, as the system design employs identical AEs in each WDM channel. The simulation results show that the architecture should consist of two hidden layers, with thirty two nodes per hidden layer and a ”32×modulation order” batch size to obtain optimal system performance, when designing AE using a dense layer neural network. The behavior of the AE is examined to determine the optimum launch-power ranges that enhance the system's performance. The developed AE-based PCS-WDM provides a 0.4 shaping gain and outperforms conventional solutions.
Components of the public administration system for the post-war healthcare system recovery
Authors: Yunger Vitalii
Published: June 2024

Based on the research findings, the theoretical provisions of the public administration of post-war restoration of the health care system using a systematic approach are substantiated. The proposed provisions formed the basis of the developed information model of the structure and content of the public administration object, which consists in identifying objects related to overcoming the consequences of the Russian-Ukrainian war and objects of the health care system modernisation. The necessity of post-war formation of the health care system new model, which should meet such features as adaptability, sustainability, and safety, is substantiated for the first time. To achieve this, the author identifies the key areas of formation and implementation of the post-war recovery strategy and outlines the activities of public administration entities, which include both the healthcare system itself and a set of entities that implement policies in other areas of public life and perform support functions. The author substantiates the substantive specifics of public administration mechanisms and directions of implementation of the feedback process. These provisions form the basis for substantiating the methodological provisions and determining the directions of practical application of the strategy of post-war health care system recovery

In the article, on the basis of the development of normative and legal provisions on issues of higher education andphysical culture and sports and numerous specialized literary sources, the definition of the concepts «system of highereducation in the field of physical culture and sports», «institution of higher education in the field of physical cultureand sports» was formed , «state management of higher education in the field of physical culture and sports», as wellas the goals of the latter. Amplification of the categorical apparatus of state management of higher education in thefield of physical culture and sports made it possible to clearly form not only its thesaurus, but also its goals and to givefurther research an institutional and purposeful character. This approach will ensure consideration of all managementrequests of all institutes of the higher education system in the field of physical culture and sports, and therefore increasethe efficiency of state management of higher education in the field of physical culture and sports.
