Indonesia is a country that is located on the ring of fire or a volcanic route that is rich in geothermal potential. Geothermal is a renewable resource that is environmentally friendly by utilizing magma from the bowels of the earth. PLTP Lahendong unit 2 is a generating unit located in the city of Tomohon, North Sulawesi, which is capable of generating 20 MW of electrical energy. In a generator one of the most important components is the generator. There are many problems that can affect the work of the generator, for example, the reduced efficiency of the generator. Declining efficiency can affect the electrical energy that is flowing not optimally due to generator losses, and a lot of electricity is lost because of this. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the efficiency of the generator to see whether or not the effect of the load generated by the generator has an effect on the efficiency of the generator. The results of the study which were then analyzed for 14 days between 09:00 and 21:00 obtained the calculation results which were then analyzed that the lowest load value generated by the generator was 12 MW with generator efficiency of 72% and the highest load value was 19 MW with efficiency of 93% and obtained an average load of 16MW with an efficiency difference of 21%. This shows that the value of the load generated by the generator affects the efficiency of the generator. From the results above, it can be recommended to the related company for further action.

Bolaang Mongondow is an area that has an active volcano, namely the Ambang volcano, which is located in the village of Bakan. The existence of hot spring manifestations that appear indicates the potential for geothermal energy in the area. However, until now, geothermal potential in the area has not been developed due to a lack of knowledge about determining geothermal potential. For this reason, research on reservoir characteristics such as fluid type and reservoir temperature estimation is carried out. The method used in this research is the geochemical analysis of the fluid in the form of the percentage of fluid content and the calculation of the geothermometer. Fluid type analysis was determined based on plotting on ternary Na-K-Mg diagrams. While the reservoir temperature estimation is determined using the Na-K geothermometer equation. From the physical-chemical analysis of fluids in Bakan hot springs, it was found that the type of fluid in the Bakan area was immature water. Based on the estimated reservoir temperature calculation using a Na-K Geothermometer, the subsurface temperature ranges from 235 ℃ - 242 ℃ and includes a High-temperature reservoir.

To overcome this problem, a method needs to be used in representing data. This process is carried out to solve a physical problem in the case of the center of gravity on a triangle. Symbolic programming languages can convert rational numbers, so that this symbolic processing can be applied to inductively validate geometric theorems in the case of triangular center.
Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment for the Management of Irritable Bowel Syndrome: A Case Report
Authors: Heineman Katherine
Published: December 2023

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common disorders of the gastrointestinal system, occurring in 10-20% of the general population.1,2,3 IBS is associated with heavy social and economic costs in the United States, as it results in the second highest cause of work absenteeism and accounts for 25-50% percent of all gastroenterology referrals.1,4 IBS is characterized by recurrent abdominal pain or discomfort and bowel dysfunction as diarrhea, constipation or both, in the absence of any organic cause.3,5,6,7 The pathophysiology of IBS appears multifactorial, although current focus for an understanding of the disease process is on alteration of gastrointestinal motility, visceral hypersensitivity and dysregulation of the brain-gut axis between the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and the enteric nervous system (ENS).6,8 The lack of full understanding of the pathophysiologic processes of IBS means current management options are often ineffective and unreliable, leaving patients with frustrating and sometimes disabling symptoms.2,7

An osteopathic approach using osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) to address symptoms related to IBS is an under-explored treatment option. The use of OMT within a treatment plan offers the ability to address manifestations of visceral and somatic dysfunctions unique to each patient. This case report outlines a successful osteopathic manipulative treatment course for a patient suffering from IBS symptoms. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for the use of OMT on patients with IBS in the current literature are also reviewed below and provide further preliminary evidence that OMT may be effective in managing IBS symptoms.2,5,7,9,11

Authors: Medovarov M. V.
Published: December 2023

The article highlights the stages in the evolution of Vladimir Karpets' socio-political views. It also reveals the conditions of the formation of Vladimir Karpets as a thinker, basically at the early stage of his creative work from 1975 to 1995. Poems, historical and literary essays, publishing projects, and a dissertation by Vladimir Karpets are used as sources here. The ways in which the thinker promoted Orthodox and monarchical views against the background of the Soviet censorship are also shown. The article mentions the classics and contemporaries who influenced the formation of Vladimir Karpets' identity: his father Igor Karpets, Pyotr Palamarchuk, Tatyana Glushkova, Anatoly Ivanov, monarchists of the Perestroika era, Grigory Kremnev, Vladimir Mikushevich, Oleg Fomin, Alexander Dugin. All the poetry collections by Vladimir Karpets and the themes of his poems are considered. Attention is paid to his activity as a researcher and lecturer in law, his historical and legal studies of Russia and Spain. The article considers in detail the study by Vladimir Karpets of life and work of Admiral Alexander Shishkov and poet Fyodor Glinka, and traces the influence of their literary and religious views on the formation of Vladimir Karpets as a poet and thinker. The article states the features of monarchism according to Vladimir Karpets, his emphasis on the royal family natural succession, his interpretation of the Soviet period of history as a secret continuation of Russia's mission as Katechon Withholding. In this context, the published films and unpublished scripts by Vladimir Karpets for 1989–1992 are considered: “For Your Friends”, “The Third Rome”, “Name”, “Angel of Harvest”, “Khovanshchina”, “Morok” (“The Story of the Story”). The evolution of the thinker's views in the 1990s is discussed, including his reassessment of the Russian Church schism (dissent) in the 17th century. The article also tells about the translation activity of Vladimir Karpets, and represents a brief description of the subsequent evolution of Vladimir Karpets' thought during 1995–2016.
Religious and Moral Ideas in Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's Journalism
Authors: Kruglikova O. S. , Bityutskaya V. V.
Published: December 2023

The paper uses journalistic works (op-ed pieces for the media, speeches, press conferences, interviews, etc.) by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn to reveal the formation and development of religious and moral issues in the writer's worldview. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn continued the historical line of Russian political and social thought, which had always been characterized by polyphony, ambiguity, and variability. The writer himself had repeatedly drawn attention to how important it is to understand the dependence of philosophical attitudes of a thinker on their life experience and age. In the mature period of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's career, the main aspects of his religious idea can be highlighted. Firstly, the opposition to the ideological legacy of the rationalist philosophy of the modern age and the criticism of the idea of constant progress as an example of “delusional philosophy”, the desire to legitimize the sacred in the political discourse, the postulation of the need to abandon the political language in reflections on social problems and return to the language of spiritual and moral writings can be mentioned here. Secondly, this is the recognition of the organic connection of religious consciousness with the national cultural type, the critical attitude to globalism and unification, the desire to preserve the national identity as a guarantee of the spiritual development of mankind, since a nation emerges around a religious idea and preserves it. The paper also examines Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's understanding of the phenomenon of the nation and the intelligentsia, as well as the reasons for the writer's skeptical attitude to the prospects of cultural convergence between East and West. According to the writer, both competing models of sociopolitical development — bourgeois democratic capitalism and the communist utopia of economic equality — are based on the same spiritual foundations: rationalism and naive Rousseaism in understanding human nature, cosmopolitanism and recognition of the issue of the distribution of wealth as the key issue of human existence. The convergence of social systems suffering from the same vices in their slightly different forms would lead to nothing but the multiplication of these vices.

To Deal with Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant Accident
Authors: Jiayi Zhang
Published: December 2023

Fukushima nuclear power plant once got impact from an earthquake, and it was disabled by a tsunami following. The chain reaction stopped but the remaining products of the chain reaction still release tremendous energy continuously, and the cooling system doesn’t work. Continuous seawater was injected into the reaction cores to cool down the cores, but radioactive seawater after being used to cool down the cores accumulated. At last, Japan made the decision to eject the nuclear wastewater into the sea, but this would threaten people’s health which is same important as life. The stability of a nucleus should be determined by the number of the neutrons and protons it contained, when the total number of nucleons inside the nucleus was under a limitation, the nucleus could be stable when the N/Z (ratio of the number of neutrons over the number of protons) approaches a value about 1, this value will be larger as the Z grows because the stronger electromagnetic forces will make more β+ decay of protons which produce neutron and is in a dynamic equilibrium with β- decay of neutrons which produce proton; therefore, to make up some α particles into the chain reaction products remained in the reaction cores may convert the remained radioactive nuclei therein to be stable ones, and the fusion of α particles with the radioactive nuclei in the reaction cores of which the elemental numbers are all heavier than iron can also absorb the energy that may be released in the processes, applying thin α particles beam could ensure the α particles only to merge with the radioactive nuclei in the reaction cores but never each other.

Oblique Dome Division Technique/ Preservation Rhinoplasty
Authors: B Bizrah
Published: December 2023

Open rhinoplasty techniques as well endonasal techniques that involve lower lateral cartilage delivery and marginal incisions lead to many unpleasant effects such as alar notching, alar retraction, alar collapse, dropped/pinched tip, Pollybeak, asymmetry, alar collapse, deviation, and dimpling. Both the original Joseph endonasal technique and the later Goldman endonasal tip technique has also resulted in the above issues, while these problems are well documented in the open rhinoplasty approach. To reduce these sequalae, the author has developed a new combination technique. It is based on the Goldman's tip and the I-beam of intermediate crura while avoiding lateral crus marginal incision and delivery (which are the culprits associated with a poor outcome). This results in an intact alar rim reducing healing problems along the alar rim. Furthermore, lateral crus preservation together with a strong tripod of conjoined lateral to medial crura supported by a columellar strut and tip grafts lead to significantly enhanced tip support thus substantially reducing negative sequalae such as asymmetry, alar collapse, dropped tip, pinching, notching and alar retraction while at the same time making the outcome more predictable. The author has been applying this technique since 1999 (Last 23 years). The technique and follow-up will be fully discussed.

Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) The Evolution of AI Beyond Human Capacity
Authors: Zohuri Bahman
Published: December 2023

Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) is a hypothetical stage of AI development where machines possess cognitive abilities far surpassing those of humans. ASI is characterized by superior intelligence, self-improvement capabilities, emotional intelligence, and autonomous decision-making. The advent of ASI would have profound implications across sectors, including scientific advancement, economic impact, and societal transformation. However, the development of ASI raises ethical concerns, such as control and alignment, existential risks, privacy, and job displacement. Responsible development and control are essential to harness ASI’s potential while safeguarding humanity. Navigating this uncharted territory requires vigilance, ethics, and foresight. The future of ASI holds great promise, but it also demands our utmost responsibility.

Entre os principais resultados destacaram que 63% dos alunos sabem definir a interdisciplinaridade, 93,80% entendem a importância da EA, 70,8% acham que temas sobre poluição em geral devem ser tratadas em sala de aula e 43,10% aprenderam pouco sobre Educação Ambiental na escola. Os docentes apontaram que consciência e preservação ambiental são temas fundamentais e citaram como principais desafios em relação à implementação da EA a falta de recursos financeiros e materiais. Educandos e educadores entendem que a escola sozinha não é capaz de suprir as necessidades de se tratar de EA e sugerem que as universidades e iniciativas privadas devam auxiliar em práticas e ações de conscientização da temática. Os dados contidos neste trabalho representam importantíssimas informações que devem ser consideradas na elaboração de planos de ações na EA em ambiente escolar, além de contribuir para a disseminação científica e o desenvolvimento da sustentabilidade nas instituições escolares.

Esta pesquisa analisou a produção científica acerca de três temáticas: gestão universitária, educação digital e a transformação digital, no período de 2020 a 2022. Para tanto, realizou-se uma revisão sistemática, seguindo os conceitos preconizados pelo método de Systematic Literature Review (SLR). Inicialmente foram identificados 200 artigos, estes que foram submetidos a um processo de filtragem, restando apenas dois deles. Os achados indicam que a gestão das instituições de ensino superior (IES), diante da transformação digital, foi estudada em duas pesquisas. A primeira delas utilizou o advento tecnológico para que as IES alcancem um melhor posicionamento de mercado, portanto uma abordagem competitiva. A segunda pautou-se na construção de um sistema de gestão digital integrado, ancorado na adoção de uma metodologia baseada em projetos e processos. Por fim, a pesquisa amplia o conhecimento acerca da gestão de IES no contexto da transformação digital, oportunizando o aprimoramento do ecossistema educacional brasileiro.

This article aimed to identify most suitable areas for the implementation of irrigation systems in the Midwest portion of the Tocantins-Araguaia Basin, through the application of Multicriteria Analysis, based on the socioeconomic indicators of the 178 municipalities that make up this region. Methodologically, based on bibliographic and documentary research, socioeconomic indicators, were selected, in a range that would allow an economic, demographic, social and environmental characterization of the basin and, at the same time, delimit areas suitable for projects of irrigation, through interviews with experts of the field of irrigation and multi-criteria analysis. The results showed that the basin has 29.2% of its area restricted to the implementation of irrigation systems; on the other hand, more than 70% of the basin area had high and very high suitability class. It is concluded that the multicriteria analysis method was satisfactory for this study, facilitating decision-making, in line with the objectives of the National Irrigation Policy, that aim to promote local and regional development, with priority for regions with low indicators social and economic.
