Published: May 2024

No campo de estudo da estrutura há uma busca incessante por melhores métodos, desempenho, economia e segurança. Neste sentido treliças metálicas têm sido muito utilizadas para galpões por ser um modelo estrutural que agrega os requisitos mencionados, validando a busca por uma combinação que seja otimizada, ou seja, a melhor forma dessa peça se enquadra no termo ótima, que vença solicitações e economize aplicação de material e tempo de dimensionamento. Com objetivo de desenvolver o processo estrutural, soluções ainda mais ótimas podem ser encontradas utilizando métodos heurísticos, e, por isso, neste estudo é feita uma revisão bibliográfica do tipo integrativa sobre o tema; revisou-se literariamente artigos que estudam a otimização de treliças metálicas com seção tubular utilizando métodos heurísticos. Ao associar o MEF com os algoritmos pode-se determinar a melhor configuração da treliça-tipo, que poderá gerar uma estrutura que associe segurança com menor custo possível. Utilizou-se uma treliça plana de 10 barras para que se pudesse discernir qual(is) o(s) método(s) mais eficiente para a otimização da peça, dentre os métodos e resultados de cada autor revisado; realizada a constatação entre os métodos utilizados para cada autor e o seu respectivo algoritmo, é perceptível que o algoritmo que detém o menor desvio padrão, menor número de interações e melhor peso médio da peça foi o CHT Híbrido.

Authors: Olorunfemi B. J. , Abegunde D. O. , Oginni O. T , Adesina A. O. , Olumoroti I. A.
Published: May 2024

Coconut fiber and rice dust are locally sourced, developed, and evaluated as agro-waste materials to replace carcinogenic asbestos fibers in brake pad production. The process involves crushing, grinding, and sieving coconut fiber into a powder, mixing it with steel dust, carbon black, and epoxy resin, filling a mould, adding hardener, and pressing and curing samples at 250 °C. The produce is tested for mechanical properties, with optimal brake pad properties achieved using a 100μm sieve grade, enhancing interfacial bonding between resin and coconut shell particles. The hardness, compressive strength, ash content, specific gravity, wear rate, and water absorption values were found to be 258, 113 N/mm2, 40%, 1.91, 3.23 mg/m, and 0.63%. The study found that coconut shell has qualities similar to those needed for brake pad material and asbestos replacement in brake pad production. Coconut shell, with its 100μm particle size, has the potential to replace asbestos-based brake pad manufacturing, reducing harmful components and environmental impact.

Published: May 2024

The aim of this study is to optimize the process variables to achieve a more efficient Ageratum Conyzoides extract (ACE) inhibitive performance on structural steel in 1 M HCl acid, using the integrated Taguchi-fuzzy logic technique. Optimization of multiple performance characteristics of weight and corrosion rate; was achieved via a multiple response performance index (MRPI) from corrosion inhibition parameters of inhibitor concentration, temperature and exposure time. The predictive model determined that the setting of inhibitor concentration of 2 g/cm3, temperature of 30oC and exposure time of 2 days were the optimal setting for maximum inhibitive corrosion performance. The optimal setting was verified and validated by a confirmatory experiment, indicating a significant improvement of 0.634 in the actual MRPI value when the integrated Taguchi-Fuzzy logic optimization model was employed.

Authors: Yunus S. , Atolagbe A.M.O, , Olaniyan S. A. , Raufu K. A.
Published: May 2024

This study examines relationship between the residents’ Socio-economic Status (SeS) and choices in the adoption of anti-burglary devices across the residential zones of Ogbomoso City. It surveys households’ houses and their environments across the Core, Intermediate and Suburb residential zones of the study area. The variables used to examine the analysis of installed anti-burglary devices include the adoption of iron / steel bar, electronic devices, wire mesh, ethno-medical, and others. The examination of the aforementioned devices in relation to the socio-economic status of residents using Spearman’s rho Correlation analysis revealed that there is positive correlation between monthly income of residents and all the housing anti-burglary devices adopted with the p-values of 0.000, 0.010, 0.000, and 0.014 for Iron/steel bar, electronic devices, wire mesh and ethno-medical devices respectively. It further revealed that education has a significant correlation but negative with ethno-medical devices due to the p-value of 0.051and r-value of -0.070. This implies that increase in education reduces the use of ethno-medical devices in the study area. The study concluded that Socio-economics Status of residents have a great influence on the type and choice of anti-burglary devices adopted in the fight against residential burglary and home invasion across the City.

Published: May 2024

The possibility of improving the properties of rubber compounds containing ground tyre rubber (GTR) is an active research area. This study investigates the microstructure of carbon black filled tyre tread compound containing 20 phr GTR and compares the microstructure with those of similar compounds reinforced with hybrid carbon black/precipitated silica (CB/SiO2). In the compounds reinforced with hybrid filler, amount of the GTR was maintained at 20 phr, while the amount of the hybrid filler (CB/SiO2 ) were in the ratios 55/5, 50/10 and 45/15 respectively. The compounds were mixed by two-step mixing method using internal mixer and two-roll mill. The vulcanisation of each rubber compound was carried out on a compression moulding machine at 150. Results obtained from scanning electron microscopy of the fractured surfaces showed that the ingredients in the control sample that was not filled with GTR were well dispersed and distributed. The micrograph of the sample containing GTR and mixed at 60 showed that GTR was not very compatible with the matrix. Improved mixing was achieved with increased mixing temperature. The addition of precipitated silica at 5 phr resulted in poor dispersion. The dispersion improved as the amount of silica increased to 10 phr and 15 phr respectively. Results obtained from flex fatigue test show that the compounds filled with hybrid CB/SiO2 in the ratios 50/10 and 45/15 phr exhibited no crack after 1000 cycles due to good dispersion. It is recommended that hybrid CB/SiO2 reinforcement at optimal amount of silica should be utilised to fill rubber compounds containing GTR in order to improve the properties of the vulcanisates.
HE EFFICIENT PERFORMANCE OF GENERALIZED SELECTIVE COMBINING TECHNIQUES ON RAYLEIGH FADING CHANNEL USING HYBRIDIZED MODULATION SCHEME
Authors: Adeagbo F.M. , Lasisi H. O. , Aderinkola B. F., , Asafa M.O.
Published: May 2024

This study concentrated on improving Generalized Selective Combining (GSC), one of the widely used diversity combining methods in telecommunications, by combining the modulation schemes of Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) over a Rayleigh Fading channel. These were done with the intention of delivering strong Quality of Service (QoS) in mobile communication, particularly with the goal of lowering Bit Error Rate (BER) to improve reception on the receiving end. According to the findings, the communication system’s performance efficiency was increased through the hybridization of the modulation schemes, with QAM (4 and 16 constellation being taken into consideration for this research) and OFDM, even though a Rayleigh Fading channel was used, preventing line of sight (LOS). Compared to the BER values obtained when the modulation schemes were not hybridized, GSC was considerably improved with a low BER. In light of the fact that the channel under consideration did not experience severe fading, which is what caused the low BER observed, this article indicates that GSC might be improved through the hybridization of modulation schemes to provide a good Quality of Services.

Published: May 2024

Rapid urbanization globally has aggravated and worsen the management of municipal solid waste (MSW) in cities, especially the developing countries. This article underscores the pressing need for effective waste management solutions from the unruly contamination of soil and groundwater, or improper waste disposal and focuses on the selection of suitable landfill sites using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) techniques. With a global increase in MSW generation, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, the environmental and health consequences of open dumping is hazardous. The study employs Multi-Criteria Evaluation (MCE) and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) within the GIS environment, considering criteria such as elevation, slope, aspect, soil properties, proximity to roads, water bodies, and settlements. The analysis integrates diverse data sources, including remote sensing and soil databases, offering a comprehensive evaluation of topographical factors, soil characteristics, and accessibility. Results indicated that approximately 29.73%, falls under the category of “Restricted Area,” totaling 18,887.18 hectares. High Suitable areas cover 15.85% of the region, comprising 10,070.28 hectares, while “Very High Suitable” areas, though minimal in coverage at 0.02%, represent nearly perfect sites totaling approximately 12.35 hectares. The results offer valuable insights into landfill suitability, providing a foundation for informed decision-making and sustainable waste management strategies.

Published: May 2024

Neonatal tetanus is a toxi-infection caused by Clostridium tetani, with a neurological tropism, causing significant morbidity and mortality in newborns in developing countries. The infection almost always starts in the umbilical cord. Diagnosis is clinical. Treatment is two-pronged: etiological (specific immunoglobulins, antibiotic therapy, anti-tetanus vaccination and treatment of the portal of entry) and symptomatic (sedatives and muscle relaxants, curarization). Prevention is the only effective option, and relies on vaccination of mothers during pregnancy and health education of the population. We report the case of a newborn hospitalized for neonatal tetanus and treated with antibiotic therapy combined with intrathecal serotherapy, with a good evolution.

We report a 63-year-old female with cognitive impairment, and personality changes. MRI showed a hyperintense lesion in the corpus callosum, and biopsy confirmed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). This case highlights the importance of considering PCNSL in differential diagnoses of corpus callosum lesions and underscores the necessity for prompt, aggressive treatment despite a guarded prognosis.
Corneal Endothelial Changes Following Anterior Chamber Intraocular Lens Implantation in Extracapsular Cataract Surgery
Authors: Khafaji Zainab Nadom Hamoodi Al-
Published: May 2024

Aim: To determine & quantify corneal endothelial changes after primary or secondary implantation of anterior chamber intraocular lenses (AC IOLs) in extracapsular cataract surgery complicated by loss of capsule support. Setting: Ibn Al- Heythem teaching eye hospital, Baghdad. Patients & Methods: This prospective study comprised 125 patients underwent extracapsular cataract surgery complicated by loss of capsular support. Of them 76 patients had primary implantation of open-loop AC IOLs. The other 49 patients were kept aphakic after similar complicated cataract surgery & had secondary AC IOL implantation (open-loop), this was performed 10 weeks to 2 years from initial cataract surgery. At least 2 weeks post AC IOL implantation, non-contact specular microscopy was performed at the center of the cornea for eyes with primary & secondary AC IOLs implantation, their fellow eyes (phakic or pseudophakic with posterior chamber PC IOL) taken as control. Results: The mean endothelial cell density (ECD) was significantly lower in eyes with primary or secondary AC IOL implantation than in unoperated phakic eyes. Patients with primary AC IOL implantation in 1 eye & PC IOL implantation in fellow eye had a difference in ECD that was not statistically significant. The ECD difference was significantly greater in eyes with secondary AC IOL implantation compared to fellow pseudophakic eyes (PC IOL). The coefficient of variation (CV) in cell size & percentages of hexagonality showed no significant changes in the various groups. Conclusion: AC IOL implantation didn't appear to alter corneal endothelial function. Results indicate that endothelial cell loss was related to surgical trauma rather than the presence of AC IOL.

Published: May 2024

Цифровая трансформация в организационных медицинских системах, примерами которых служат поликлиники, диспансеры, медицинские центры, создает предпосылки для непосредственного цифрового управления по аналогии с технологическими системами. Технологические системы за несколько десятилетий прошли путь от микропроцессорного управления до современного способа преобразования цифровых данных в управленческие решения посредством интернета вещей. В организационных системах преобладает принятие решений в режиме административного управления. Поэтому требуется разработка методов, содействующих цифровизации в принятии управленческих решений в сфере здравоохранения. Целью работы является разработка метода интеллектуальной оптимизации, позволяющего трансформировать цифровые данные о функционировании исследуемых медицинских систем в управленческие решения в цифровом виде. Такая возможность достигается за счет интеграции в единой вычислительной среде интеллектуальной обработки и анализа цифровых ресурсов с использованием машинного обучения нейронных сетей и численной оптимизации на основе рандомизированной схемы решения задачи булевого программирования, которая адекватно отражает процесс преобразования исходной информации в выбор оптимального варианта управленческих действий по повышению эффективности и качества функционирования организационных медицинских систем

Digital transformation in organizational medical systems, examples of which are polyclinics, dispensaries, medical centers, creates prerequisites for direct digital management by analogy with technological systems. Technological systems have gone from microprocessor control to a modern way of converting digital data into management solutions through the Internet of Things over several decades. In organizational systems, decision-making in the mode of administrative management prevails. Therefore, it is necessary to develop methods that promote digitalization in making managerial decisions in the field of healthcare. The aim of the work is to develop an intelligent optimization method that allows to transform digital data on the functioning of the studied medical systems into management solutions in digital form. This possibility is achieved by integrating intelligent processing and analysis of digital resources in a single computing environment using machine learning of neural networks and numerical optimization based on a randomized scheme for solving a Boolean programming problem, which adequately reflects the process of converting initial information into choosing the optimal variant of managerial actions to improve the efficiency and quality of functioning of organizational medical systems

Статья посвящена модальности долженствования и основным способам её выражения в разноструктурных языках: французском и чеченском. В статье рассматриваются различные трактовки модальности как универсальной лингвистической категории, даются определения объективной и субъективной модальности. Анализ практического материала показывает большее разнообразие средств выражения долженствования во французском языке: глагольные обороты il est nésessaire, il est obligatoire, il faut, глагольное наклонение сюбжонктив и модальный глагол devoir, а также все конструкции с глаголом devoir + инфинитив. В чеченском языке, как и во французском, преобладает выражение подкатегории долженствования, главным образом, посредством модальных глаголов. Что касается выражения модальности долженствования посредством глагольных наклонений, здесь встаёт вопрос о спорном характере самой категории наклонения в чеченском языке. В плане семантики данной категории разнообразие характерно как для французского, так и для и чеченского языка. Семантические нюансы долженствования в обоих языках – необходимость, обязательность, побуждение, возможность, совет и др.
РУТИННЫЕ ФОРМУЛЫ ИСПАНСКОГО ЯЗЫКА КАК РЕСУРС УСПЕШНОЙ КОММУНИКАЦИИ
Authors: Саидова З.Э.
Published: May 2024

В данной статье представлено описание рутинных формул испанского языка в ракурсе преподавания испанского языка как иностранного. Рутинные формулы используются в повседневном общении. Они представляют собой всеобще установленные способы совершения определенных речевых актов, поэтому они служат прежде всего социально-коммуникативным целям. Обычно они имеют форму восклицательного, повелительного или вопросительного предложения и используются говорящими в зависимости от их коммуникативных потребностей для осуществления социального взаимодействия: дискурсивные формулы служат для ведения и организации речи, формулы вежливости используются в протокольных ситуациях, экспрессивные формулы служат для выражения чувств и отношения говорящего. Рутинные формулы являются достижимой целью обучения на начальном уровне, поскольку они обеспечат им беглость и адекватность речи, формируют самоуверенность. Данный тип выражений относится к определенным ситуациям общения, которые являются общими для разных языков и принесет большую пользу в обучении, поскольку учащиеся смогут проводить параллели с родным языком. В особенности на начальном этапе, когда студенты обладают лишь немногими ресурсами языка, знание дискурсивных и социальных формул позволяет действовать более или менее автономно и формирует у студентов базу для уверенного владения испанским языком.
ОСНОВНАЯ ТЕМАТИКА СТИХОТВОРНЫХ СБОРНИКОВ А.Т. ТВАРДОВСКОГО
Authors: Темаева Х.Н.
Published: May 2024

В данной статье исследуется основная тематика стихотворных сборников А. Твардовского 30-х годов. Важное место в стихотворениях Твардовского занимает тема свободного, социалистического труда, ибо в этой сфере полнее и ярче всего раскрывается новый человек. Поэт рисует образ труженика, освободившегося от власти частнособственнических иллюзий и пережитков, личные интересы которого состоят в процветании общего, колхозного дела («Рассказ Матрены», «Про теленка», «Ивушка», «Мать и дочь», цикл про деда Данилу). Твардовский рисует явления повседневные, внешне негероические, утверждая поэзию и героику будничного труда. Поэзия Александра Твардовского – явление подлинно народное и по содержанию, и по форме. В ней глубоко и своеобразно проявляются и развиваются самые характерные черты советской литературы: изображение действительности в революционной перспективе, воплощение важнейших исторических событий с подлинно эпическим размахом, внимание к повседневной жизни, умение передавать ее поэтичность. Творчество А. Твардовского – подлинно гуманистическое. Поэт запечатлел образ простого человека, в котором отразил главные черты народного характера. Поэт обращается к разным темам и жанрам, широко использует средства художественной гиперболы и условности; крепнет эпическая сила и вместе с тем лирика поэзии Твардовского. Поэт обращается к передовым традициям классической поэзии, к поэзии Маяковского. Он является мастером изображения духовного мира простого человека, в совершенстве владея искусством поэтического преображения народной речи.

Published: May 2024

LinkedIn is one of the most popular sites out there to advertise oneself to potential employer. This study aims to create a good enough text generation model that it can generate a text as if it were made by someone who posts on LinkedIn. This study will use a Neural Network layer called Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) as the main algorithm and the train data consists of actual posts made by users in LinkedIn. LSTM is an algorithm that is created to reduce vanishing and exploding gradient problem in Neural Network. From the result, final accuracy and loss varies. Increasing learning rate from its default value of 0.001, to 0.01, or even 0.1 creates worse model. Meanwhile, increasing dimensions of LSTM will sometimes increases training time or decreases it while not really increasing model performance. In the end, models chosen at the end are models with around 97% of accuracy. From this study, it can be concluded that it is possible to use LSTM to create a text generation model. However, the result might not be too satisfying. For future work, it is advised to instead use a newer model, such as the Transformer model.

Health ranks highest in supporting the continuity of every human activity, especially children. The availability of a doctor is still relatively lacking, especially in remote areas. This makes people have difficulty in diagnosing certain diseases so that medical treatment becomes too late and can even be fatal for the patient. So it is necessary to create a system that has the ability to be able to diagnose diseases in children like an expert. The method used in this study is Case Based Reasoning (CBR) with the Jaccard Similarity Algorithm and K-Nearest Neighbor. Jaccard Similarity is one way to calculate the similarity of two objects (items) which are binary. Similarity calculations are used to generate values whether or not there is a similarity between new cases and existing cases in the case base. While the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) Algorithm belongs to the instance-based learning group. The KNN algorithm allows the program to find old cases that are most similar to the current case. Based on the test results using 50 sample data, the expert system can provide diagnostic results in accordance with expert diagnoses. The accuracy results for the K-Nearest Neighbor Algorithm are 72% while the accuracy results for the Jaccard Similarity Algorithm are 70%.

Published: May 2024

The available data supporting the use of physiotherapy as an intervention for dysphagia in post-stroke patients is the main topic of this studys literature review. A computerized database related to studies including physiotherapy among stroke patients was used in the investigation. There were fifteen articles that demonstrated the effects of physiotherapy on oropharyngeal dysphagia, the Masako technique, Mendelsons procedures, and the shakers maneuver on post-stroke patients. Among the top factors contributing to stroke patients incapacity and demise is oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD). Patients with OD who go undiagnosed and untreated have a higher chance of dying, spending a lengthy time in the hospital, contracting pneumonia, respiratory infections, malnutrition, and dehydration. Early detection of post-stroke oropharyngeal dysphagia (PSOD) is essential for lowering hospital admission and post-discharge morbidity and mortality rates.

AN OPTIMIZED PORTABLE INTEGRATED NEBULIZER WITH AUTOMATIC OVERHEAT SHUTDOWN AND TIME-SPECIFIC APPLICATION CONTROL ENHANCING LONG-TERM PATIENT CARE
Authors: Tarak Das  , Shuvam Barman  , Tapas Kr Dawn
Published: May 2024

Compressor nebulizers play a crucial role in treating respiratory conditions by facilitating the effective delivery of medications to the lungs. However, prolonged usage necessitates careful management to prevent overheating, which can compromise both device performance and patient safety. This study investigates the integration of an automated temperature controller into compressor nebulizers to address this issue along with its specific time of application to prevent excess use. Existing nebulizers on the market often lack overheating prevention mechanisms, requiring manual intervention to avoid damage. Leveraging the LM-35 temperature sensor, this research proposes a system that automatically shuts off the nebulizer when specific time of use is over or overheating is detected, subsequently resuming operation once temperatures have stabilized. By ensuring optimal device performance and patient support over extended periods, this innovation represents a significant advancement in respiratory care technology.

Medical students’ perspectives on a longitudinal wellness curriculum: a qualitative investigation
Authors: Velez Camila , Gendreau Pascale , Saad Nathalie
Published: May 2024

Introduction: There is growing concern about the mental health status of medical students. Medical students are at a higher risk for depression, anxiety, and burnout than non-medical students. The Undergraduate Medical Education (UGME) Office of Medical Learner Affairs at McGill University developed a Longitudinal Wellness Curriculum (LWC) to foment medical students’ well-being, self-care, and adaptability.
Methods: We conducted a qualitative descriptive study to explore students’ experiences with the LWC. We conducted three semi-structured focus groups involving a total of 11 medical students. We used thematic framework analysis for data analysis. 
Results: We found four main themes related to participants’ engagement with the curriculum: 1) diverse perceptions on curriculum relevance and helpfulness; 2) the benefits of experiential sessions, role model speakers, and supportive staff; 3) insights on student-friendly curriculum scheduling; and 4) the importance of wellness education and systemic interventions in medical education.
Conclusions: Most participants found the curriculum valuable and supported its integration into the academic curriculum. Experiential and active learning, diverse approaches to wellness, small group sessions, role modeling, and student-centered approaches were preferred methods. Inconvenient curriculum scheduling and skepticism over system-level support were seen as barriers to curriculum engagement and uptake. The findings of our study contribute to the development and implementation of wellness curriculum efforts in medical education.

Published: May 2024

Cymbidium kanran is extensively cultivated and globally coveted, enjoying widespread popularity in horticulture circles. Despite its popularity, the intricate mechanisms underlying its flowering cycle have remained largely enigmatic. In this study, we conducted transcriptome sequencing on flower buds at three distinct stages, including the initiation of flower bud differentiation, the differentiation stage of flower primordium, and the stage of flower bud formation. This investigation aimed to unravel the flowering mechanism of the target species. Differential gene expression was screened and subjected to pathway enrichment analysis to identify key pathways involved in flowering regulation. Subsequently, the identified differentially expressed genes within these critical pathways were validated using RT-qPCR. The results showed that a total of 23720 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained. Through Gene Ontology (GO) functional annotation, it was found that it involved three categories of cellular component, biological process and molecular function, including 46 subcategories. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis found that it was mainly enriched in metabolic pathways and biosynthetic of secondary metabolites pathways. In addition, this study found 29 genes related to four flowering regulatory pathways and flowering integration, including a gene related to autonomic pathway, five genes related to vernalization pathway, 13 genes related photoperiod pathway, four genes related to gibberellin (GA) pathway, and six genes related to flowering integration. Through RT-qPCR analyses, it was found that the relative expression of genes in RNA-seq was accurate and reliable. This study preliminarily revealed the molecular mechanism of flowering in C. kanran, and the results laid a foundation for the molecular regulation mechanism of flowering in C. kanran, and also provided a basis for the regulation of flowering period of orchids.

Lugares propios en territorios comunes

I analyze the practices related to home-making among llama pastoralists in the South-Central Andes, a process which is understood as a continuous negotiation among different kinds of persons, both human and nonhuman. I start by conceptualizing pastoralism as a social interaction network involving herders, their animals, the community (as the owner of the land), and various deities. Then, I analyze how llameros negotiate the placement of the house with each one of these agents, according to a logic that is explicitly manifested in ritual. In order to illustrate this point, I describe the k’illpa or «flowering» of the animals, the main domestic ritual of the annual cycle. I put emphasis on the ritual gestures and the way in which they express and reproduce this social fabric which defines the place of each family in the territory and in the world.
