Manimism: Worrying About the Relationship Between Rationality and Animism
Authors: Burton James
Published: February 2022

This paper seeks to articulate a series of worries surrounding the seeming convergence of recent critical work on animism with contemporary calls to decolonise thought. Sometimes referred to as the 'new animism', these recent approaches valuably question traditional and mainstream notions
of Western rationality, perform important critical reforms of formerly dominant anthropological and epistemological perspectives, and open up questions concerning the pervasiveness of something like animism within Western/ modern thought and culture. On the one hand, these effects may be seen
as complementing a decolonising imperative. On the other hand, they may also risk contributing to processes of less fundamental epistemological reform, whereby certain elements of the 'European paradigm of modernity/ rationality' (Anibal Quijano) are allowed to remain intact. Prominent among
these elements, following Sylvia Wynter, is the constructed figure of 'Man' around which colonial modernity has built and extended itself. In order to pursue these worries, the paper explores key characteristics of what may be considered, according to the terms it has itself established, the
animist character of aspects of Western modernity/rationality. It is argued that a widespread acceptance of the reality and validity of the culturally specific figure of Man as representative of all humans, is dependent on a form of animistic investment on the part of European and Western
modernity referred to as 'Manimism'. Worrying/being worried about Manimism does not necessitate the abandonment of so-called new-animist work, but may form a worthwhile complement to it, especially in light of the historical capacity of Man and Manimism to survive major socio-political and
epistemological challenges and upheavals.
Se suspendre aux lendemains de Fessenheim – une approche croisée sur les traces visibles et invisibles d’un territoire nucléaire en transformation.
Authors: Alloin Élise , Fröhlig Florence
Published: February 2022

Suite à la fermeture définitive de la centrale nucléaire française de Fessenheim en 2020, les débats régionaux et transnationaux quant aux projets de reconversion du site ont fleuri sans que l’aspect mémoriel, la valeur matérielle et immatérielle de la centrale pour le territoire, soit évoqué. Nous avons mis en place une recherche-action participative conjuguant pratiques artistiques et approche ethnologique, afin d'amorcer une réflexion sur l’empreinte de la centrale nucléaire dans le paysage culturel, naturel et mental de la région. Dans cet article, nous présentons quatre dispositifs de rencontre imaginés pour éveiller des publics divers aux enjeux de la transformation du territoire, et pour recueillir l’empreinte et les imaginaires que la centrale a laissés sur les personnes concernées : une exposition introductive, une table-ronde, une carte postale et une animation avec des collégiens. Ces dispositifs participatifs de recherche-action, réalisés sur à peine une année, ont permis d’ouvrir le dialogue et de sensibiliser un public généralement réticent à la valeur matérielle et immatérielle de la centrale sur le territoire. Toutefois, si ces actions ont permis de générer une trace, seules certaines expériences ont finalement abouti au recueil d’éléments d’un vécu culturel et mental de la centrale. Si l’interaction entre une artiste, une ethnologue et un public s’est révélée une méthode probante pour amorcer la co-production des savoirs, la démarche a surtout permis de générer des vagues, des ondes et d’inspirer d’autres acteurs à continuer la réflexion initiée par l’exposition introductive « Se suspendre aux lendemains … de Fessenheim ».
La difficile « sortie du nucléaire ». Dénonciations écologistes de la gestion des déchets dans un site italien en démantèlement (Saluggia)
Authors: Mattina Cesare
Published: February 2022

Selon une optique de sens commun, le référendum abrogatif antinucléaire de 1987 et l’arrêt des productions électronucléaires de 1990 certifieraient la « sortie de l’Italie du nucléaire ». Or, la gestion des déchets radioactifs et les démantèlements des sites montrent que la sortie du nucléaire est un processus long et complexe. Le cas italien est intéressant, car, par le biais d'un référendum tenu en 1987 et confirmé en 2011, il s’agit d’un des premiers pays à avoir arrêté sa production nucléaire. La contribution apportée par cet article porte plus particulièrement sur les rhétoriques de critique et de dénonciation utilisées par des associations écologistes locales à l’égard du secteur nucléaire. Cette recherche étudie pour cela le cas du démantèlement du site italien de Saluggia, dans la région du Piémont. Nous montrons que, malgré leur volonté affichée d’en « finir avec le nucléaire » et de libérer leurs territoires des déchets radioactifs, ces écologistes locaux restent à la fois empêtrés dans une logique de lutte avec le monde nucléaire et de dépendance vis-à-vis de ce même monde. Cet article fait ainsi le constat d'une évolution dans le temps des contenus de ces rhétoriques issues des associations écologistes. Nous observons d'une part que dans les années 1980 des élus et militants écologistes ou de l’extrême gauche italienne effectuaient des dénonciations et critiques du nucléaire politico-idéologiques articulant différentes échelles d’analyse (locale, nationale, internationale) ; tandis que dans les années 2000 et 2010 sont davantage mises en avant des rhétoriques de dénonciations souvent dépolitisées, très concentrées à l’échelle locale du site de Saluggia et ciblant quasi uniquement le gérant du démantèlement.
Psalm 27:4 – To reflect in his temple: Communion with YHWH as the culmination of the journey of life
Authors: Botha Philippus J.
Published: February 2022

Since the time of Mowinckel, the verb בקר (pi) in Psalm 27:4 was often interpreted as referring to a priest’s function of examining an offering. The parallel part of the verse and other intratextual and intertextual considerations render this interpretation of the verb improbable. The context of the psalm and the cluster of Psalms 25–34, as well as parallels Psalm 27 has with Psalm 23, suggest that the verb בקר refers to reflection on the privilege of being in YHWH’s presence. The enjoyment of such communion with YHWH, which includes the study of his Torah, is portrayed as the culmination of the journey of life in Psalms 25–34. The author argues that this is also hinted at in Psalm 27.Contribution: The contribution of this article towards the focus of HTS as “Historical Thought and Source Interpretation” centered around its use of the literary context of a psalm to question the notion of a reconstructed cultic setting as the only possible hermeneutical key to interpret Psalm 27.

Authors: Dutt Rekha , Singh Ritesh , Majhi Jitendra , Basu Gandhari
Published: February 2022

Context:

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the main causes of death due to infectious diseases worldwide. Multidrug resistance/rifampicin resistance (MDR/RR) TB remains a public health crisis. India has the highest burden of tuberculosis and multidrug resistant TB (MDR TB) in the world. There is wide geographical variation in the epidemic and its trends that can be updated by regular reporting and sound surveillance systems. The current study tries to fill this gap by analyzing the data of TB patients from a Tuberculosis Unit, studying socio-demographic and clinical profile from December 2017 to November 2019 in Nadia district of West Bengal. Aims: The aims of this work were to study socio-demographic and clinical profile of TB patients attending Tuberculosis Unit of West Bengal, and to find out factors associated with drug-resistant TB.

Settings and Design:

Record-based study from Tuberculosis Unit.

Methods:

Records of all patients who undergo CBNAAT in TU are stored as monthly unit. We randomly selected 10 months from a period of December 2017 to November 2019 by using lot method. Data of all patients undergoing CBNAAT at Kalyani – Gayeshpur Tuberculosis Unit during randomly selected 10 months were accessed. Statistical Analysis Used: Monthly data was entered in Microsoft Excel and descriptive tests of significance, proportions and Chi-square were applied.

Results:

There was male preponderance for testing of tuberculosis. Seven percent of the TB suspects were HIV positive. The positivity rate of MTB by CBNAAT was 23%. Four percent of the samples were Rifampicin resistance. Tobacco consumption, contact with TB case and Diabetes were common risk factors of TB. Most of the information was missing in the records.

Conclusions:

Most of Rifampicin Resistant cases showed very low Ct value in CBNAAT. Previous history of TB treatment and positive HIV status was significantly associated with RR TB. There is a need to capture complete information on the records of presumptive TB cases.

Authors: Sana Ahuja , Avneesh Malviya
Published: February 2022

Background and Objectives:

India has emerged as the second worst hit nation by the Coronavirus pandemic in terms of total number of cases. Our data on hematological and inflammatory markers associated with COVID-19 is very limited. This study was conducted to assess the utility of various biomarkers in identifying severe disease.

Materials and Methods:

All confirmed cases of COVID-19 admitted in our tertiary care centre from 1st March 2021 to 31st March 2021 were enrolled in the study. They were categorized into severe and non-severe disease categories based on pre-decided criteria. Their complete blood count parameters, D-dimer levels, serum C-reactive protein (CRP), ferritin and Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) values were retrieved.

Statistical Analysis:

All parameters were expressed as Mean ± Standard deviation for the two groups of patients. Student's t-test was used to test significance of the above markers between severe and non- severe disease. (P value < 0.05 was taken as statistically significant).

Results:

A total of 150 COVID RT-PCR positive patients were evaluated. The patients with higher Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC), Neutrophil to lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), Platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), D-dimer levels and raised serum CRP, LDH, ferritin along with lymphocytopenia were associated with severe disease (P < 0.05). Hemoglobin, total leucocyte count and platelet count showed no correlation with disease severity.

Conclusion:

These biomarkers associated with disease severity especially NLR, PLR, D-dimer and serum CRP levels could be used to triage patients at the time of admission thereby identifying those requiring intensive care and enabling optimal resource utilization.
Effect of Biofertilizers on the Integrated Culture of Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia and Green Beans in Aquaponics
Authors: Saufie Syafiqah , Estim Abentin , Shaleh Siti Raehanah M. , Mustafa Saleem
Published: February 2022

This study was designed to determine the effect of commercial biofertilizers, namely chitosan, Bacillus spp. and Effective Microorganism formulation on the production efficiency of Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and green bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) in an aquaponic system. The intended purpose was to examine if the production of the two integrated species can be optimized by cost-effective methods consistent with the concept of circular economy. While the biofertilizers performed water quality remediation as seen from the dynamics of turnover of ammonia (NH3), nitrite (NH2), nitrate (NO3) and phosphate (PO4) but produced no significant impact on growth of the fish, and the green bean could not attain the fruiting stage. Green beans that generally produce white-purplish flowers which transform into pods dropped off after one week on the plant. The water quality parameters: dissolved oxygen (5.54 to 6.12 mg/L), pH (6.9 to 7.0) and water temperature 26.7 to 27.8oC were in the suitable range but evidently the green bean faced deficiency of nutrients that are needed for fruiting. The nutritional management requires further investigations since the green bean pods are a rich source of human food, and maximum benefits from aquaponics can be derived through their production and faster growth of the fish. The trend of fish growth suggests that the biofertilizers will result in significant growth advantage if the treatment is carried out over a longer faming period.

Published: February 2022

Film cooling of gas turbine blades is essential as increasing the combustor exit temperature and gas turbine inlet temperature improves the performance and efficiency of gas turbine. The focus of this numerical investigation is to investigate the film cooling performance of the laidback fan shaped holes. The study is carried out at different blowing ratios namely, M = 0.60, 1.25 and 1.50. All the comparison is made with the baseline cylindrical hole. Jet lift-off is found to be suppressed in the laidback hole in comparison with cylindrical hole. This suppression of jet lift-off by the laidback hole helps in ensuring the coolant to the closer to the bottom plate of the gas turbine blade thereby reducing the temperature observed on the gas turbine blade. This trend is observed to be increasing with blowing ratios. Moreover, the coolant spread is also found to be better in laidback fan shaped hole in comparisons with baseline cylindrical hole. Based on the temperature distributions patterns observed on the gas turbine blade, it can be concluded that laidback fan shaped hole provides a better lateral spreading of the ejected coolant and improved film cooling.

Connecting rod plays a major role in damping the various load while transferring the reciprocating movement to the rotating movement in the crankshaft. The careful design of the connecting rod is an important step to avoid the unexpected failure of the engine. The connecting rod experience cyclic tensile and compressive stress during suction, compression and power stroke. Moreover, due to the combustion inside the combustion chamber, thermal stress also will develop in the connecting rod. The main focus of this research work is to compare the structural stresses of different types of connecting rods used in IC engine. In this work modeling of different connecting rods has been done using SOLID WORKS and ANSYS workbench is used to do the FEM analysis. In this analysis, three different materials like structural steel, aluminium alloy and titanium are used for comparing the mechanical properties under different operating conditions of the connecting rod. Force and fixed support are considered as the boundary conditions and force is applied on the pin end and the crank end is considered as the fixed support of the connecting rod. At the beginning of this work, structural mechanical properties like equivalent stress, equivalent strain, total deformation and safety factor are calculated under a static load condition. It is inferred from this work that structural steel is the best material among the three elements due to the less total deformation, equivalent strain, safety factor and a considerable equivalent strain.

Improvement in performance of the diesel engines is carried out by focusing on several parameters. One among these is piston which undergoes higher thermal loads and thermal stresses during its entire working cycle and duration. Therefore, it is necessary to analyse the stresses that the piston can be able to withstand and give its contribution to maximize the engine performance. In this study, four different piston shapes were considered namely, flat, dome, cup and bowl type pistons. 3D models were developed for these pistons and simulations was carried out in the ANSYS at steady state conditions using finite element method (FEM). Based on the investigations, it was observed that the maximum temperature distributed was nearly same in all the types of pistons as 1133K which appeared near the combustion area. The thermal stress and total deformation values of the piston was found to be lesser for the flat and dome types of pistons. Based on the data obtained for thermal stress, temperature distribution, heat flux and total deformation, it can be suggested that flat or dome type pistons can be considered for use in the IC engine to maximize the performance of diesel engine.

Published: February 2022

The ideal design of an intake S-duct (serpentine duct) of the jet engine should be able to supply adequate air regardless of the operating conditions of the aircraft, efficiently decrease the speed of incoming compressible flow and turn it to the desired location. Total pressure losses should be as low as possible and pressure recovery should be as high as possible. To maximize the efficiency, the vortex generated due to the two curvatures must be suppressed. This can be achieved by varying the area distribution of the duct which helps in isolating the effects of diffusion and curvature as much as possible. In this numerical analysis, six different serpentine intake ducts are designed with varying area distributions, but a constant centerline. The inlet area and the exit area are kept constant along with the centerline. Total pressure contours and transverse velocity contours are observed for flow in each duct to find the duct configuration with least losses. The geometry of a duct with least total pressure loss is considered as the duct with optimum area distribution. The inlet boundary condition is set as the velocity inlet condition with velocity 204.1m/s while, the outlet boundary condition is set as the pressure outlet condition, with outlet pressure of 1 atm. The losses are found to be minimal in the ‘duct 5’ with least transverse flow. This is due to the efficient area distribution which result in initial acceleration and completion of diffusion much before the exit plane causing suppression of vortex at the bend. This in turn helps the ‘duct 5’ to retain its flow energy along the centerline direction resulting in better pressure recovery.

Published: February 2022

In the current year’s alternative aircraft shapes, such as Blended - Wing- Body (BWB) aircraft, are considered and explored to create more effective aircraft shapes, specifically for more proficient and very huge transportation and eco-friendlier. In addition to the elimination of the tail for this specific type of aircraft and a significant reduction in equivalent weight, drag force, and radar cross-section, the available space for mounting equipment within has been improved and the operational reach has additionally been increased. Irrespective of all these stated advantages, instability is the undesirable outcome of eliminating the tail. Reviewing this deficiency involves designing a tandem of control surfaces and reflexed wing sections and utilizing a complex PC control system. Hence, several researchers have attempted to address the challenges raised by the aerodynamic shape optimization of BWBs, as well as the need to satisfy design specifications. In this paper, an experimental method was initially accepted to optimize the shape of a baseline design of a BWB. The shape was further allowed to be optimized using a Genetic Algorithm (GA). To strengthen the outcome of the optimized shape Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was used for different angles of attack ranging from -5o to 20o and airspeed ranging from 50 m/s to 700 m/s. A feed-forward back prop network with two layers of perceptron was deployed to achieve the goal of aerodynamic efficiency already set by both the experiment and CFD simulation. The goals of ANN and GA matched with a minor variation of 2% in their output results.

Published: February 2022

To cater to the needs of air transportation, different wings for varying flight regimes for subsonic and supersonic were developed. However, the use of a particular wing is limited to only for a specific regime. Present work attempts to establish a relation between aerodynamic and electromagnetic energies associated with a wing. The understanding of aerodynamic and electromagnetic as a whole will lead to the idea of developing an autonomous wing. Experimental study was conducted on an unsymmetrical wing (with airfoil NACA 25115) with electric current flowing over its surface. The novelty of the work is that the results will be used for designing a wing that adjusts itself according to the flow conditions, eliminating the need for different wing for different flight regimes and flow conditions.

In the field of aviation industry, the aircraft braking system serves for ground taxing operation, ability to hold the aircraft at full static run-up and to stop the aircraft during landing. As usage of braking system increases, the frictional parts of the braking system undergo wear when it contacts with the rotor disc. To optimize the reliability of brake pads, finding suitable material is essential. This work is carried out to make a better frictional material with superior mechanical properties to sustain the environment. Identification of suitable composition was found satisfactory with help of adding and removing the set of constituent materials. Six sample brake pads with different materials and numerous compositions were manufactured through the powder metallurgy process. The necessary machining operations were performed to get a required shape. Theoretical calculations and analysis were done to establish the enhanced mechanical properties including wear and hardness. It was observed that samples 1 and 3 have better wear resistance and wear rate for different loading conditions.

Published: February 2022

Bird impact on aircraft is one of the most important foreign object damages, which result in the reduction in airworthiness. Most bird impacts are not fatal but bird impact can be deadly when the impact is at engine assembly, leading-edge and Frontal area of aircraft. This study focuses on bird impact on windshield and its effects on stress concentration and energy absorption. The strength and stiffness of the windshield play a vital role during foreign object damage. Laminated glass is used as a windshield, the reason to use interlayer is to avoid separation of other layers after impact which ultimately reduces risk to pilot. Laminate configurations glass/PMMA/glass and PMMA/Polycarbonate/PMMA are used for the windshield. Impact analysis has been carried out at velocities of 50m/s, 100m/s and 150m/s. Modeling and solving are done in LS-Pre post and LS-Dyna using a FE-SPH approach. Simulations are carried out impact against bird, stress and energy absorption as the output. Based on results, PMMA/Polycarbonate/PMMA laminate is most likely to sustain the bird strike impact without failure.

Published: February 2022

Nosemosis is a bee disease practically present in all countries of the world. Control of the presence of Nosema apis and Nosema ceranae is of great importance. The consequences for bees will depend on the degree of infection of the bees colony.Weakening of bee colonies, reduction of production possibilities, contamination with bee feces of hives, death of bees and / or their complete disappearance are some of the signs of the disease. The bees life physiology, which largely depends on the season, and regular control of the pathogenspresence can determine the perspective of the disease.
The consequences of reducing the number of bee colonies are not only reflected in a smaller amount of bee products (honey, royal jelly, pollen, wax), but their lack is directly reflected in agricultural production by reducing pollination. Domestic and international trade in bee products plays an important role in the transmission of Nosema sp. and others infectious and parasitic diseases of bees. Therefore, the control of the presence and viability of Nosema sp. in some bee products is important. Our analysis showed that the control of the presence of the cause of nosemosis in our conditions is small in relation to the number of beekeepers, bee colonies and hives. On the other hand, reducing the viability of Nosema sp. in different temperature conditions provides an opportunity for safe trade.

Published: February 2022

Physics is an important subject taught at the secondary level in Nigeria but the achievement of students in the subject is a concern to science educators. This study investigated the effectiveness of brain-based teaching strategy (BTS) on studentsâ€™ achievement and score levels on the concept of heat energy. This investigation adopted the pretest, posttest, randomized control group quasi-experimental design. Simple random sampling technique was used to select two schools used for this study. Two research questions were raised to guide the study. Likewise, two null hypotheses were tested for acceptance or otherwise at 0.05 significance level. The sample involved ninety nine senior school students randomly selected from two schools in Ondo, Nigeria.
