Published: September 2023

Comfort and elegance are one of the most important characteristics people are looking for during their travels. Nowadays the satisfaction of the modern cars had been developed to the greater extent. In order to increase the sophistication to the passengers during travelling we came up with an idea to provide ventilation to them by blowing cold air at their rear side. The objective of this project is to provide seat ventilation using thermoelectric module. The thermoelectric module is powered using the DC current from the battery and the module works on the principle of Peltier effect. The module on providing supply, a junction becomes cold and the low temperature developed at one end is used to provide seat ventilation [39]. A centrifugal blower is used to blow air over the module's cold junction which causes the air-cooling effect. Now the air is blown through the distribution pads that are mounted over the seats in seat upholstery and the ventilation of the seat is successfully received. On the other hand, the hot junction temperature is dissipated using the heat sink attached to it. A fan is used to draw out the heat from the heat sink through convection. The seat models in the upholstery which are provided with perforated holes are first modelled using CATIA and then tested for safer design and stability. This system is more economical and provides more efficiency during operation in order to increase the satisfaction to the people at low rate of cost.

The air conditioning systems is the second energy consumer in the vehicle behind the powertrain with global energy consumptions of a few Kilowatts. In the case of Electric vehicles (EV), its consumption becomes critical to increase the range or potentially reduce battery size, weight and cost. In areas where high temperatures, solar radiation and high humidity are common, vehicle occupants rely constantly on the performance of the air conditioning for comfort and safety. Therefore, the AC (Air Conditioning) system is an ideal target to improve efficiency without an impact on occupier wellbeing. These are competitive advantages that would increase customer satisfaction and revenue potential. In fact, research shows that customers are ready to pay a higher price for sustainable products. Furthermore it would reduce the environmental impact of both EV and Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles

In this study, we present a ‘smart strategy’ to reduce energy consumption, by preemptively modifying the operational conditions and duty cycle of the AC compressor, by deploying a physics-based model in the loop simulation. By using a uniquely developed ‘scenario look-ahead technology’, energy consumption of the AC compressor is reduced over 10%, depending on the drive cycle.

Due to the generic, supplier, and refrigerant agnostic nature of the controller, it also has potential to be applied to heat-pump and low GWP systems.
Solid-State Cooling in Automotives for Climate Control

Published: September 2023

In modern vehicles, a significant amount of power is consumed to cool the cabin and maintain the passengers' thermal comfort, which results in energy drain from the battery, reducing the overall energy efficiency of the vehicle. Due to its numerous benefits, a solid-state Thermoelectric cooling (TEC) method has been proposed as an alternative cabin cooling system to address this issue. TEC uses the Peltier effect to create a temperature difference between two junctions of a TE device, developing a classical cold plate condition. This cold plate absorbs heat from the cabin air, which is then dissipated to the outside while cooling the interiors. This cooling method does not require refrigerant, has no moving parts, and is compact and lightweight. The present study proposes an alternative automotive air conditioning system and investigates its performance characteristics for providing better thermal comfort conditions while effectively reducing the cooling power. Numerical simulations were performed using CFD and MATLAB to study the thermal comfort of the human body inside the automotive cabin. The results show that applying small and flexible TE cooling devices provides more possibilities for an efficient automotive air conditioning system. The study also investigates the velocity and temperature profiles of the localized TE cooling built for better human comfort by providing uniform air flow in the cabin. An estimated improvement of almost 9% was obtained when this arrangement was compared with the conventional refrigeration system regarding human comfort. The key findings of this study show that the TE cooling system exhibits superior refrigeration performance with low energy consumption, which not only ensures the thermal comfort of the driver but also reduces the energy consumption of the air conditioner.

Published: September 2023

In this investigation, friction stir welding (FSW) was employed for joining HSLA steel plates (5 mm thick) of grade DMR249A in the development of light weight ship structures. This investigation aims to study the effect pre-heating temperature (PHT) on microstructure and mechanical properties of FSWed DMR249A steel-joints. The PHT of W99 tool was varied from 100 to 250°C. The optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and an elemental analysis of stir zone (SZ) of DMR249A steel-joint was carried out. The tensile properties, hardness and impact toughness of DMR249A steel-joints were evaluated and compared to BM and joints without PHT. Results disclosed that the DMR249A steel-joints made at PHT 100°C exhibited superior tensile properties and impact toughness compared to other joints. It is attributed to the evolution of finer acicular ferritic and upper bainitic microstructure with no debris of tool in SZ. COMSOL multi-physics software was used to simulate the preheating impact over the tool and base metal interface during welding. The predicted and experimented values are having good agreement.
Improving Performance of Automotive Air Conditioning System at Vehicle Level by Optimizing the Refrigerant Quantity with Optimum Oil Quantity
Authors: Meena Avadhesh Kumar , Kishore Kamal , Agarwal Roopak , Parayil Paulson
Published: September 2023

Compressor plays an important role in Automotive Air Conditioning (AC) System. It compresses the low pressure refrigerant and discharges the high pressure refrigerant vapour to condenser. Compressor performance mainly depends on two parameters, compressor oil and refrigerant gas charge quantity. Compressor oil is used to lubricate the movable parts in reciprocating compressors. Compressor oil is miscible in refrigerants in liquid state and amount of oil present in compressor increases the life of compressor. But, huge amount of oil may also reduce the thermal performance of system. Minimum gas quantity gives poor cooling performance and due to maximum quantity, increasing suction/discharge pressures, results in more compressor work and low cooling.

This paper discusses the experimental analysis of refrigerant quantity, oil quantity in different ratios to improving the cooling performance of a passenger vehicle. Experimentation was conducted on 7 seater passenger car (hatchback). For experimental study, testing was carried out inside Climatic Chamber under ambient conditions, road conditions. Grill level temperature were recorded over time to predict the passenger cabin cooling performance. Refrigerant side temperature, suction and discharge pressure were recorded at different charge quantity to understand the refrigerant side thermal performance. From the experimental study, Optimum refrigerant and oil quantity was determined.

Whoever Comes to Us With a Cyber Sword: Russian and U.S. Approaches to Deterrence in Cyberspace
Authors: Shakirov O. I.
Published: September 2023

Developed in recent decades, the understanding of cyberspace as an environment in which a state can face serious threats to its security has contributed to a search for ways to prevent such threats. In the military and political spheres, the concept of deterrence has become one of the ways to solve this problem. During the Cold war, the policy of deterrence became central to the strategic thought in the leading countries, but the direct transfer of conventional approaches to a new reality turns out to be problematic. On the one hand, this opens up a debate about the ways to attain deterrence in cyberspace via traditional and new mechanisms. However, theoretical discussions on cyberspace deterrence highlight the limitations of this concept. At the same time, despite some uncertainties that stem from such a transfer, in practice, the leading states use the concept of deterrence in the context of their activities related to cyberspace, although they implement it differently. In this regard, the article suggests focusing on states’ interpretation of deterrence when designing and implementing their policies in this area, rather than on the problems of applying the concept of deterrence. Such a constructivist approach allows to reveal the peculiarities of the understanding of deterrence without considering them predetermined and identify common aspects of views. Using Russia and the United States as examples, we studied specific features of the application of the deterrence concept in respect to cyberspace in official documents and in the course of the practical implementation of their provisions. The analysis shows that countries interpret the concept of cyberspace deterrence in diff erent ways, with an emphasis on specific deterrence strategies. At the same time, Russia and the United States influenced each other while developing views on deterrence.
An Intelligent Lightning Prediction and Protection System Using ANN

Published: September 2023

Lightning is a natural phenomenon that can cause damage to people and property. Usually, substation supervisors monitor weather conditions continuously, if there is a risk of damage to the equipment due to the inclement weather, then will decide to cut off the power supply manually by the recommendations of higher authority. But disconnecting the power supply during the heavy rain time creates unnecessary problems and accidents as well as leads to inefficient power management. Hence it is important to develop an intelligent system that can predict, alert and protect against lightning strikes. Here an attempt is made to develop an intelligent lightning prediction and protection system using ANN and IoT. The developed system consists of data collection, ANN training, lightning prediction and lightning protection phases. Here Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is specially used to improve the accuracy within a short period. ANN models are trained using input data, which will recognize the patterns and predict using testing data. The trained model is integrated into a lightning protection system i.e. IoT to take future actions. The hardware prototype is developed to disconnect the power supply automatically in the lightning-prone areas and also send the notification in the form of SMS to the operator in the respective zone.

Experimentar o Cinema Negro: um intercessor para outras trajetividades éticas?
Authors: Prudente Ana Vitória Luiz e Silva , Carvalho Alexandre Filordi de
Published: September 2023

A globalização se impõe como uma produção intensa de perversidades, entendimento que se relaciona com o histórico colonial que é transversal a “nova globalização” em que o Estado facilita a necropolítica, que vulgariza o assassinato de crianças negras. Na tentativa de não permitir que diferenças se normalizem enquanto justificativa para a desigualdade, o Cinema Negro reconhece o potencial do audiovisual para deflagrar possibilidades de confronto dos conhecimentos, viabilizando a emersão de outros saberes e outras subjetividades que não sejam hegemônicos. Partindo de outras trajetividades que abram novos fluxos político de coabitação e circulação cultural, religiosa e simbólica, o presente artigo considera a animação “O Magrelo” de Prudente, como intercessor para se avançar nos enfrentamentos dessa necropolítica que, inclusive, situa-se no apagamento da negritude no cinema. Investigamos se na dimensão pedagógica do cinema negro há um dialogismo em construir uma outra globalização, mais ética, amparada na solidariedade como práxis.

Enteric and respiratory infections cause lamb death during and after weaning, resulting in economic losses in intensive ovine production systems. These infections have been treated with antibiotics, but their inadequate use has resulted in bacterial resistance. Plant-derived secondary metabolites can be used as an alternative to antibiotics in lambs. We hypothesized that Animunin could improve lamb performance and immunological response during and after weaning. The objective of this study was to see how Animunin supplementation affected the profile of blood metabolites related to health status and weight changes in nursing lambs. The experimental design was completely randomized, with treatments consisting of supplementation with Animunin gel caps at doses of 0.0, 0.25, 0.50, and 1.0 g d-1 for 60 d. Treatments were assigned at random to 40 male Hampshire x Suffolk nursing lambs (initial body weight (IBW) 10.8±2.6 kg, 25 d old). Weight at weaning (WW) was determined on day 83±2. During lactation, the lambs were offered pre-starter feed and water ad libitum, in addition to nursing. SAS GLM procedure was used to analyze the data. The level of polyherbal mixture had no effect on most blood components. However, as the dose of Animunin in the gel caps increased, glucose, urea, and creatinine levels decreased. In contrast, the levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the blood of lambs given the 1 g dose increased by 39.4 and 45.9 %, respectively, compared to lambs given 0 g. The final body weight and daily gain were not affected (p > 0.05). In conclusion, the phytogenic Animunin had hypoglycemic effects while having no affecting lamb growth.

Authors:   Department of Nursing, College of Health Sciences, Joseph Ayo Babalola University, Ikeji-Arakeji, Osun State Nigeria, Monday Abia Bassey
Published: September 2023

Lead is a multiple organ toxicant and an oxidative-stress inducer. The present study investigates the protective effect of Costus afer ethanol leaf extract on lead- induced reproductive damages in male Wistar rats. Twenty adult male Wistar rats were weighed and separated into four groups of five rats each. Groups 1 served as control, group two received 1000mg/kg of Lead, and while groups three and four received 400mg/kg and 800mg/ kg of CAEE for 12 days. The reproductive and antioxidant parameters obtained from the result served as scientific evidence in the study. The result showed non-significant increase in testosterone level in groups treated with CAEE when compared with group treated with lead only. Significant increases were observed in the antioxidant enzymes in the groups treated with CAEE in both serum and testicular antioxidant assessment (p<0.05). Mild restoration of the architecture of the pituitary gland were observed in the group treated with high dose of CAEE when compare with lead toxic group. Insignificant alterations were observed in the section of the testes in all the groups. The treatment with CAEE exhibited dose-dependent significant changes in testicular and serum oxidative stress changes induced by lead. Ethanol leaf extract of Costus afer may be protective against lead induced testicular and pituitary gland damage.

This study aimed to explore the challenges and mitigations on quality of education in emerging private high schools in Mabelreign/Warren Park district in Harare Metropolitan Province of Zimbabwe. It is important to mention that the study was unique as it looked on the challenges and proffer the probable solutions to the challenges on quality of education in emerging private high schools where the population of these schools are increasing each year. The study was guided by the systems theory which views a system as an entity with interrelated elements in each one of these emerging private high schools. The study adopted a qualitative research approach using a case study design. Purposive sampling was used to select the participants. Data from fifteen (15) interviewees, seven (7) lesson observations were generated based on saturation point principle. The major findings are that high teacher: pupil ratio, high textbook-pupil ratio and unsafe learning environment are the major challenges that are experienced by emerging private high schools which in turn have negative impact on the provision of quality education. The study concluded that indeed, there is high teacher: pupil ratio, high textbook: pupil ratio, lack of modern teaching and learning aids, lack of current recommended textbooks; lack of science laboratory equipment and consumables, lack of computer laboratory resources and unsafe learning environment do exist in these emerging private high schools which impede the provision of quality education. To mitigate the challenges, the study recommended that Entrepreneurs in emerging private high schools should purchase current Cambridge recommended textbooks for each learner such that they leave by their message to the target market as per their ads. In addition, the study also recommended that School Heads should make sure that the teacher: pupil ratios are in tandem with the information they disseminate to the market. The study further recommends that Responsible Authorities should purchase the required science laboratory equipment and computer laboratory resources to ensure that learners have more practical lessons before the final examinations. Again, the study recommends that emerging private high schools should invest in modern teaching materials.
Ethnicity Catastrophe: Santal Rights and Dilemma in Bangladesh
Authors: Rahman Dr. A. N. M. Arifur
Published: September 2023

Citizenship is regulated by the Citizenship Act of a state. The ethnic minority like Santal men-women are the resident of the state and subject to the state laws. In this work it has been explored that people from minority group like Santals are struggling with sate coverage and legally debarred from various rights. There is a legal restriction on disposal of lands. It acts like two way sword. They need to follow benami transfer though that has been restricted by the state law. Women are traditionally deprived of hereditary benefits. Practices of personal laws are invisible. Religious conversion is prevalent in the community. Women participation in internal decision making process is totally absent though they used to earn for their family. The question of equal treatment is far reaching target. This research argues for the legal rights of the Santal community, disrupting the legal discriminations for disposal of lands and implementing women right to inheritance.

O Câncer da Cavidade Oral (CCO) é um tumor altamente agressivo e é classificado como a quinta causa de morte ocasionada por câncer em todo o mundo. O carcinoma de células escamosas (CCE) trata-se de uma neoplasia epitelial de caráter maligno e representa mais de 90% das neoplasias malignas orais, sendo relevante abordar que os fatores etiológicos tem grande influência perante o desenvolvimento do CCE. Portanto, o objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma revisão integrativa, descrevendo as influências dos fatores etiológicos para o desenvolvimento do carcinoma oral de células escamosas. Essa pesquisa consistiu em um estudo bibliográfico de caráter descritivo-explicativo, com abordagem integrativa e análise qualitativa. A pesquisa foi feita a partir dos dados coletados na literatura nas plataformas Pubmed/MEDLINE, Google Schoolar e SciELO, selecionando estudos publicados entre o período de 2013 a 2023. A participação do Cirurgião-Dentista é de suma importância para a identificação de lesões potencialmente malignas e reconhecer os fatores de risco é fundamental nesse processo, pois indivíduos que se expõem frequentemente a exposição prolongada aos raios ultravioleta, portadores de HPV, etilistas e fumantes, estão em maior risco.

Introdução: A falha da bomba cardíaca, síndrome denominada de insuficiência cardíaca (IC) afeta 2% dos adultos no mundo, levando a sintomas como dispneia, ortopneia, edemas e congestão. Seu manejo é baseado principalmente no controle de sintomas, evitando novas hospitalizações. Nesse momento entra em pauta os cuidados paliativos, que consistem em medidas multidisciplinares de otimização sintomática e qualidade de vida. O objetivo do trabalho é avaliar o efeito da abordagem paliativa no controle da dispneia proporcionada pela IC. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática baseada no método PRISMA, sendo buscado por ensaios clínicos dos últimos 10 anos que corresponderam aos descritores “cuidados paliativos”, “insuficiência cardíaca” e “dispneia”. Resultados: Foram encontrados 16 artigos que, após aplicados os critérios de exclusão, restaram 5 trabalhos que correspondiam à pergunta de busca, os quais foram tabelados e comparados. Discussão: Os cuidados paliativos que incluem as terapêuticas medicamentosas, educativas e até mesmo as multidisciplinares apresentaram redução da dispneia, melhora da qualidade de vida, da sobrevida e redução dos índices de hospitalização. Conclusão: A abordagem paliativa da dispneia no contexto da IC, apesar de satisfatória e promissora, carece de estudos direcionados ao controle desse sintoma especificamente, principalmente considerando a necessidade de maior amostragem para randomização.
