Plantas alimentícias não convencionais (PANC) no contexto da gastronomia e da educação alimentar e nutricional
Authors: Branco Camila da Silva Vaz , Silva Elga Batista da , Barbosa Maria Ivone Martins Jacintho
Published: January 2023

As plantas alimentícias não convencionais (PANC) representam uma potencialidade alimentar para a população brasileira uma vez que são encontradas em todo o território nacional, são de fácil manejo e podem ser utilizadas em diversas preparações culinárias. Entretanto, como o consumo das PANC ainda não configura um hábito na cultura alimentar brasileira faz-se necessário ampliar as ações de educação alimentar e nutricional (EAN) para difundir seu consumo. Considerando essas premissas, amparado em uma revisão bibliográfica, o presente trabalho avaliou o potencial das PANC vinculadas às ações multidisciplinares que abordam também as perspectivas gastronômicas associadas à EAN. O uso desse tipo de ingrediente demanda ações educativas para disseminar os seus benefícios nutricionais, bem como desenvolver hábitos alimentares mais saudáveis através da inserção das PANC em diferentes cardápios. Para que essas plantas estejam efetivamente presentes na cultura alimentar brasileira é necessário destacar seu emprego em preparações culinárias, além de correlacioná-lo a aspectos gastronômicos. Cabe ressaltar que, no contexto da pandemia da COVID-19, as PANC representam ainda uma ferramenta para contribuir com a segurança alimentar e nutricional, pois são facilmente acessíveis para as camadas mais vulneráveis da população brasileira, que eventualmente não reconhecem essas plantas como opções de alimentos.

Published: January 2023

Objetivou-se relatar uma experiência de intervenção acerca da coleta de dados de consumo alimentar em uma unidade rural da Estratégia Saúde da Família em Rio das Ostras (Rio de Janeiro – RJ). A intervenção foi realizada em 2021/2022 com os profissionais envolvidos na coleta e registro de dados do Sistema de Vigilância Alimentar e Nutricional (SISVAN), incluindo quatro etapas: percepção dos profissionais, sensibilização do problema, formação prática e construção de um fluxo de monitoramento de dados. Percebeu-se que os profissionais entendem a alimentação como fundamental para a saúde, e julgam importante a sua avaliação. No entanto, pouco conheciam sobre a Vigilância Alimentar e Nutricional (VAN) e sua relação com a Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional (SAN). Os entrevistados destacaram a falta de capacitação como um entrave para o SISVAN. Os agentes comunitários de saúde consideraram que o treinamento para aplicação dos formulários de avaliação do consumo alimentar contribuiu para sua autonomia e motivação para a inserção dessa atividade na rotina de trabalho. A construção do fluxograma reforçou o papel de cada profissional e o momento oportuno para coleta e registro de dados. Este relato ressalta a importância da VAN enquanto uma importante estratégia de promoção de SAN no serviço de saúde.
El BID y el modelo político neoliberal en América del Sur: el caso de Perú
Authors: Vaca Hernández Wendy
Published: January 2023

La pregunta central que guía este trabajo es la siguiente: ¿de qué forma el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID) ofreció soporte al modelo político neoliberal en América del Sur entre 1990 y 2017? A fin de responderla, se examina la interacción entre el BID y dicho modelo. Se revisan algunos de los planteamientos del banco sobre el modelo en la región, además de abordar específicamente la interacción con el modelo peruano. De esta forma, es posible apreciar algunas acciones concretas relacionadas con la consolidación del neoliberalismo.

La mencionada interacción suele asociarse con los conceptos de desarrollo y financiamiento del desarrollo, que en este trabajo se abordan a partir de un enfoque de economía política internacional crítica. Éste permite aproximarse a la conjugación de ideas, capacidades materiales y poder en el ámbito de la provisión de financiamiento con etiquetas de desarrollo. Asimismo, revela la utilización de la imagen de financiamiento del desarrollo a fin de encubrir acciones de apoyo de un determinado modelo político. Tal soporte implica a su vez la contribución para sostener el entramado de relaciones de poder establecido. El BID ha ejecutado dichas acciones al vincular las esferas política y económica, doméstica e internacional mediante la proyección de ideas y la provisión de capacidades materiales (financiamiento) a sus prestatarios.
El mercado de trabajo argentino desde mediados de los años noventa en el contexto de las particularidades de su ciclo económico
Authors: Arakaki Agustín , Graña Juan M. , Kennedy Damián
Published: January 2023

El artículo se propone estudiar la evolución del mercado laboral argentino durante las últimas tres décadas a la luz de un abordaje que toma en consideración la vigencia en cada momento del tiempo, con los distintos modelos de acumulación, del determinante estructural del ciclo económico nacional: la relación entre el rezago de productividad internacional y su disponibilidad de fuentes de compensación. Para ello, se analiza la dinámica de diferentes variables laborales relevantes (empleo, salario, evolución del sector informal urbano y calidad del vínculo laboral) en etapas identificadas según la diná­mica económica general: 1991-2002, 2003-2011 y 2012-2021. La principal conclusión es que sólo en instancias de un flujo particularmente elevado de renta de la tierra (2008-2011) se logró una mejora genuina en las condiciones de empleo y de vida de la población argentina, la cual no logró revertir su pronunciado deterioro ocurrido desde mediados de la década de los setenta. Dicho deterioro se realizó a partir de una creciente diferenciación en las condiciones de reproducción de la fuerza de trabajo, lo cual tiene su correlato en la marcada fragmentación que caracteriza a la sociedad argentina actual vis-à-vis aquella de comienzos de la década de los setenta, que se destacaba en el panorama regional.
Canasta salarial y valor de la fuerza de trabajo: el caso de México
Authors: Salazar Vázquez Juan
Published: January 2023

El ensayo examina primero las relaciones entre la tasa de plusvalía y el valor de la fuerza de trabajo. Más adelante se concentra en el examen de los determinantes del valor de la fuerza de trabajo: salario real, jornada de trabajo anual y productividad del trabajo en las ramas que producen los bienes-salarios. Junto con el análisis formal, se cuantifican los valores que asumen tales variables en la economía mexicana durante la vigencia del modelo neoliberal. Aquí se observa un fuerte descenso del valor-hora de la fuerza de trabajo (aumento de la tasa de plusvalía), en lo cual el descenso en el salario real desempeña un papel clave.
APPLICATION OF MODELS OF THE STRUCTURE OF SEPARATION SURFACES IN STEELS WHEN OBTAINING PRODUCTS WITH A GIVEN LIFE CYCLE
Authors: Kuzin Mykola , Kopylov Viacheslav O. , Kuzin Oleg A.
Published: January 2023

Background. The development of digital mechanical engineering requires the development and use of interdisciplinary concepts and models of the behavior of heterogeneous polycrystalline materials under the influence of technological and operational loads. In this regard, the development and use of approaches to modeling and analysis of the mechanical behavior of the boundary zones of separation of products, taking into account their energy, becomes important. The development of such approaches makes it possible to solve an actual scientific and technical problem – optimization of the modes of technological processing of products with a given life cycle. Objective. The use of system models of the structure of steels for the development of computational schemes and methods of managing the structural-energy state of the separation surfaces of structural components when obtaining products with increased reliability parameters, taking into account the conditions of their operation. Methods. The analysis of the structure was carried out using the concept of invariant modeling, the results of metallographic and factographic studies, electron microscopy. The assessment of the structural and energetic state of grain separation surfaces after ionplasma etching of the samples was carried out, wear and impact bending tests were carried out, and system computer simulation of the properties of polycrystalline systems was carried out using the FEniCS open finite element analysis package in Python. Results. When applying the energy description of continuous non-local environments, it was established that depending on the angles between the boundaries at the joints of the grains, the structural and energetic state of this region and its ability to form microdefects change. At angles between 140‒180°, zones are formed with a high capacity for the formation of intergranular damage and destruction under load. It is shown that the intensity of wear and intergranular fracture upon impact increases depending on the number of triple joints, in which the boundaries differ significantly in terms of energy level. Steel 40X (5135 Steel) is more sensitive to the formation of triple junctions with a high energy gradient during heat treatment than steels containing nickel, molybdenum and silicon. Conclusions. On the basis of hierarchical modeling of the structure of polycrystals, new approaches are proposed and an algorithm is created to determine the relationships between the structure of the separation surfaces of steels and their operational reliability. Diffuse damage is formed on the separation surfaces between the triple junctions of grains with a high energy gradient. Reducing the share of triple joints, which differ significantly in terms of energy when designing the technological regimes of the quenching and tempering processes, made it possible to increase the wear resistance of improved steels by 48‒53 %.

Authors:   School of Agricultural, Environmental and Veterinary Sciences, Charles Sturt University, P.O. Box 789, Albury NSW 2640, Australia, Spennemann Dirk
Published: January 2023

A flock of Little Corellas Cacatua sanguinea deposited six large American Sweetgum (Liquidambar) Liquidambar styraciflua fruit and three Mediterranean Cypress Cupressus sempervirens cones under the canopy of a Yellow Box Eucalyptus melliodora in a suburban backyard in Albury, New South Wales. Subsequent searches encountered American Sweetgum fruit under four further Yellow Boxes with evidence of pruning by Little Corellas. This is the first record of actual seed dispersal by the species, as well as of the use of American Sweetgum as food. These observations underline the importance of psittacids as incidental dispersers of plant seed.

Published: January 2023

In water scarce countries such as Eritrea, maintaining brewery industry remain ever challenging task. Currently, Asmara breweries is the only beer producing factory consuming 8.46 L of water per every L of beer produced which is notably higher than Brewer’s Association (BA) benchmark and consequently generates 7.53 L of wastewater/L of beer. Bottle cleaning and brewery activities ascertain ample effluent bases. Wastewater from bottle cleaning (BCWW), brewery (BWW) and mixed (MWW) have attributed a wide spectrum of 3500-160000 mg/L of COD and 327-26667 mg/L of BOD5, which are significantly overtops other reported brewery effluents. Physicochemical treatments including coagulation with conventional (alum) and natural (MO seed) flocculants have tested to remove higher COD and BOD5 concentrations of brewery effluents. Optimal coagulant dosage determined by accounting turbidity as a key performance indicator. Alum treatment of BCWW and MO seed flocculation of MWW have resulted in lower turbidity levels of 0.49 and 6.17 NTU at 60 mg/L of dosages respectively. The optimal quantities of 92.2 % and 86.6% (by weight) of water recovered from alum treatment of BCWW and MO seed coagulation of MWW respectively. Higher sludge volumes recorded as a major disadvantage in alum coagulation whereas natural coagulant, MO seed manifested competitive results in removal of COD, BOD5, Chlorine, Nitrogen, Sulphate, Sodium, TDS and TSS along with PH stabilization. In addition, 97.2% of influent turbidity removed through MO seed coagulation treatment, an equipollent to alum despite of four fold increment in potassium levels.

Published: January 2023

Technical performance studies in professional football players need to be carried out intensely. The performance data from junior elite football was very useful for talent identification and further development. However, typical research is still rarely carried out, while previous research has focused on identifying talented players based on anthropometric, physiological, psychological, sociological and technical skills data. In this study, the assessment was no longer carried out from isolated situations but shifts to special assessments in real match situations, so that the results may contribute to talent identification. The purpose of this study was to assess the passing performance of elite junior football players in actual matches by comparing the performance of the Persipura U16 team in 2018 and 2019. The average value of passing, successful passing, and accuracy of passing in the 2018 season was 157, 101, and 66%, while the average value in the 2019 season was 167, 111, and 67%, respectively. Although the value increased slightly, however based on the calculation results there were no significant differences in the passing performance of the Persipura U-16 team in 2018 and 2019 league sessions. The results provide a recommendation that the practice session of passing techniques for junior football players, particularly Persipura U-16, should be carried out more in game situations and not in isolated situations.

Cobalamin deficiency anemia is a type of anemia that present with weakness, fatigue, icteric sclera and neuropathy. Main causes of cobalamin deficiency are low intake or decreased absorption (gastric and intestinal causes). In present case, we report a 65-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with signs and symptoms of cobalamin deficiency including bilateral peripheral neuropathy, icteric skin and sclera, and abdominal pain in right upper quadrant. He had low cobalamin and extremely high bilirubin levels (8mg/dL) in serum. After the diagnosis of cobalamin deficiency established, 1mg daily cobalamin treatment initiated for five days which would follow weekly and monthly intramuscular injections consequently. Hemolysis and other causes of elevated indirect bilirubin levels were excluded in differential diagnosis. Clinical and laboratory improvements were achieved after the treatment. In conclusion, physicians should kept in mind cobalamin deficiency even in subjects with unusual high levels of indirect bilirubin.

Published: January 2023

A presente proposta originou-se de dois projetos de extensão inicialmente planejados para serem aplicados presencialmente a turmas provenientes do ensino médio público de Concórdia, Santa Catarina, visando o ensino de Física instrumentalizado pela impressão 3D e Arduino. No entanto, a quarentena imposta no início do ano 2020 que perdurou até início de 2022 na região pela pandemia do COVID-19, forçou a readequar o plano, utilizando-se de encontros remotos síncronos em 2021 e presenciais em 2022. O objetivo foi verificar como os integrantes dos projetos desenvolveram uma atividade didática com o uso da impressão 3D e Arduino no ensino de Física a estudantes do nível médio das escolas públicas de Concórdia. Quanto à metodologia, os assuntos foram trabalhados de forma prática e dialogada durante as 2h e 30min de cada encontro, com o auxílio do Arduino, plataformas de design 3D virtuais e impressão 3D relacionadas ao conceito de momento de uma força. Os resultados alcançados estão diretamente ligados à participação efetiva do público-alvo, direcionando o olhar, o interesse, as inquietações e questionamentos discentes para este campo científico e tecnológico.

Published: January 2023

Trata-se do relato de experiência de uma intervenção pedagógica como estratégia de melhoria do processo de ensino-aprendizagem, com enfoque prático, no componente curricular Acionamentos Hidráulicos e Pneumáticos, do Curso Técnico Integrado ao Ensino Médio em Automação Industrial, do Instituto Federal Catarinense. Objetivou desenvolver o conhecimento lógico à prática de circuitos pneumáticos através do uso de um aplicativo de celular simulador, durante a pandemia de Covid-19, em adição ao simulador existente no Laboratório de Informática. O Google Meet foi usado como ferramenta de interação e explicação da intervenção pedagógica nas aulas remotas. Um formulário de avaliação foi aplicado após a utilização do simulador com perguntas para medir a satisfação e efetividade do aplicativo. A intervenção pedagógica se mostrou efetiva, mesmo com alguns resultados da avaliação do aplicativo abaixo da expectativa. A estratégia remota possibilitou uma experiência prática da disciplina e ofereceu uma alternativa adicional aos alunos que têm acesso ao computador, e a possibilidade da aplicabilidade, para aqueles que não o possuem, tornando-se um importante fator de inclusão social e também de motivação. O ineditismo do aplicativo, a inexperiência operacional dos alunos, e o formato remoto foram fatores limitantes no contato e na participação mais ativa da relação entre aluno e professor. Considerando que estes fatores foram temporais, os índices de desempenho no nível de satisfação e na habilidade dos alunos no aplicativo e na estratégia pedagógica tendem a melhorar na forma presencial.
Cartografia e fantasia

Published: January 2023

As contribuições da Cartografia Escolar para o desenvolvimento do raciocínio geográfico e para a interpretação da espacialidade dos fenômenos são exploradas neste artigo, a partir de uma experiência com estudantes do ensino fundamental de uma escola pública municipal do Rio de Janeiro. Partimos dos referenciais da Teoria Histórico-cultural, da construção de mapas vivenciais e dos multiletramentos em cartografia, encaminhando a proposta na contramão da produção e do ensino de uma cartografia tecnicista, pretensamente objetiva, fundamentada em cálculos e convenções comprometidos com a ideia de precisão. Neste sentido, valoriza-se o espaço vivido, a subjetividade, a criatividade e autoria dos discentes, tal como, a fantasia e a ludicidade. A experiência consistiu na elaboração coletiva, colaborativa e itinerante de um mapa denominado “Continente fantástico" (fazendo referência à proposta de uma cartografia do fantástico), que “percorreu” as turmas de sexto, sétimo e oitavo ano de uma escola municipal localizada nas adjacências da favela da Maré, na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Verificamos a produção de uma cartografia fantástica e de narrativas densas de espacialidade que comunicavam informações de um espaço geográfico real-ficcional não-estático, em construção, não-concluído. Portanto, a construção de cartografias fantásticas no âmbito de mapas vivenciais amplia as possibilidades de um ensino de Geografia comprometido com o desenvolvimento de uma cidadania crítica e ativa, que lança mão da imaginação para criar não apenas contos de ficção, mas, outros espaços – espaços para outras relações sociais – onde a autonomia e a participação podem florescer para a democracia.

Published: January 2023

O Índice de Privação Social (IPS) é um instrumento quantitativo, elaborado a partir de dados secundários, com objetivo de identificação das condições sociais de determinado território. Para Santa Maria, cidade localizada no estado do Rio Grande do Sul (RS), elaborou-se um índice de privação, com intuito de revelar as desigualdades socioespaciais presentes na sua área urbana. Além do seu uso como instrumento político e de planejamento, o IPS pode também ser usado como ferramenta pedagógica. Nesse sentido, este trabalho tem como objetivo principal demonstrar a possibilidade de utilização do IPS de Santa Maria, RS, nas aulas de Geografia do Ensino Fundamental e Médio, a fim de auxiliar na compreensão, por parte dos alunos, de conteúdos que explicitem as condições socioespaciais da área urbana do município. São exemplos os temas da pobreza urbana, das desigualdades sociais e da segregação, orientados pela Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), a serem abordados nas aulas de Geografia. Como resultados apresentados, demonstramos que, embora ainda não tenha sido aplicado em sala de aula, o IPS é uma ferramenta potente na abordagem de temas como a pobreza urbana e as desigualdades socioespaciais, em seus diferentes aspectos, como a segregação. Além disso, o uso da cartografia do IPS permite aos alunos residentes em Santa Maria, RS, o reconhecimento das condições e das variações nos usos do território, contribuindo, assim, para a apreensão da realidade socioespacial da cidade.

Background
The aim of this study is to investigate the factors correlated with long-term weight loss and diabetes mellitus (DM) remission after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).
Methods
Sixteen obese patients who underwent LSG were enrolled in this study (male/female: 5/11, mean age: 44.0 years, mean body weight: 127.5 kg, mean body mass index: 47.4 kg/m2, DM: n = 11). We investigated the percent excess weight loss (%EWL), %TWL, and DM remission 3 years post-operation and the factors correlated with long-term weight loss and DM remission after LSG.
Results
The %EWL 3 years post-operation was 49.6%, while the %TWL was 24.0%. Complete remission (CR) of DM was 54.5% and an improvement occurred in 18.2% of cases 3 years post-operation, whereas there was no change in 27.3% of cases. The factor correlated with a %EWL ≥ 50% 3 years post-operation was a better %EWL at 1 year post-operation. Factors correlated with DM remission 3 years post-operation were a low preoperative neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and DiaRem score and CR or partial remission 1 year post-operation.
Conclusion
Regarding long-term weight loss after LSG, better weight loss 1 year post-operation was important. In terms of long-term DM remission, a low preoperative neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and DiaRem score and achieving CR or partial remission 1 year post-operation were key factors.

We investigate the existence and local uniqueness of normalized $k$-peak solutions for the fractional Schr\"odinger equations with attractive interactions with a class of degenerated trapping potential with non-isolated critical points. Precisely, we first construct the $k$-peak concentrated solutions without any constraint through the finite dimensional reduction method. Then, various local Pohozaev identities are established, which are used to give the limit relationship between the parameters and prove the existence of the normalized solutions to the original problem. Finally, we prove the local uniqueness of the $k$-peak solutions with prescribed $L^2$-norm.
The nonlocal properties of fractional order operators are fully exploited in this work. We optimize the range of fractional order index, and distinguish the different cases of $p-1<\frac{4s}N$, $p-1=\frac{4s}N$, and $p-1>\frac{4s}N$, which are called respectively that the mass-subcritical, the mass-critical, and the mass-supercritical case.
A note on exponential stability of a thermoelastic system with internal delay
Authors: Khatir Smain Moulay , Shel Farhat
Published: January 2023

The presence of a delay in a thermoelastic system destroys the well-posedness and the stabilizing effect of the heat conduction. To avoid this problem we add to the system, at the delayed equation, a Kelvin-Voigt damping. In this note we point on the exponential stability of such system in order to improve the mean result in our paper Well-posedness and exponential stability of a thermoelastic system with internal delay (Applicable Analysis J 101, 4851-4865, 2022). We use a frequency domain method in the proof of stability.

Biometric Watermarking Schemes Based on QR Decomposition and Schur Decompositon in RIDWT Domain
Authors: Altay Seyma Yucel , Ulutas Guzin
Published: January 2023

In this paper, two new methods are proposed to hide a biometric-based digital watermark generated from an iris image into a color image to resolve ownership conflicts. One of them is the QR decomposition-based approach in the redistributed invariant discrete wavelet transform (RIDWT) domain, and the other is the Schur decomposition-based approach in the RIDWT domain. After the Y channel of the color image in YCbCr space is decomposed by RIDWT, the lowest frequency sub-band is divided into non-overlapping blocks. Blocks with a lower standard deviation are selected to embed each bit of the watermark created from the iris image into a block. Watermarking of selected blocks is performed with QR decomposition in the first approach and Schur decomposition in the second approach. The firefly algorithm is used to balance the robustness and perceptual transparency in hiding the watermark. Experimental results are evaluated in terms of robustness and imperceptibility to prove the effectiveness of the proposed systems. In addition, validation performances are analyzed based on false rejection rate, false acceptance rate and equal error rate. The results show that both methods have high perceptual quality and robustness, and also a very low error rate in ownership verification.

Published: January 2023

Cardiovascular disease is the primary reason of death within a short period because of a sudden blockage in blood vessels. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatments are necessary to reduce the disease severity. In this study, Image augmentation concepts are used for balancing the ECG images dataset classes. The balanced dataset contains 6322 images from five different classes are Normal, Abnormal Heartbeat, Myocardial Infraction (MI), Previous History of MI, and Covid-19 ECG images. The pre-trained models VGG-16, ResNet-50, and DenseNet-161 are used to train on ECG balanced dataset. The use of hyper-parameters will increase the accuracy of classifying cardiovascular disorders which includes learning rate, optimizer, and dropout. The mentioned pre-trained models reported the highest accuracy at learning rate = 0.00001 and dropout=0.3 with Adam optimizer. DenseNet model achieved 93.33% accuracy, 94.23% precision, 93.33% recall, and 93.30% F1-Score, which is higher in performance compared to ResNet-50 and VGG-16 pre-trained models.

The soybean meal replacement with corn meal and chestnut meal was evaluated on growth performance, feed utilization efficiencies, nutrient digestibility, organosomatic and body composition of Oreochromis niloticus fingerlings. Seven experimental diets were categorized into various groups containing 0 (control), 5, 15, and 25% of corn and chestnut meals respectively. The experimental diets were given to triplicate groups of Nile tilapia (7.31 ± 0.12g) at a rate of 3% of body weight for 12 weeks. Similar growth performance and feed conversion ratio was observed in control group and groups fed corn gluten meal and chestnut meal based diets. There was no significant difference (P ˃0.05) in feed efficiency ratio and protein efficiency ratio in control group and treatment groups. The hepatosomatic index values were not significantly different (P ˃0.05) in control group and other treatment groups. The viscerosomatic index values differed significantly (P ˂0.05) among experimental groups. The highest value was obtained in group fed diet containing 5% corn meal and lowest for group fed diet containing 15% chestnut meal. The substitution of soybean meal had no significant impact (P ˂0.05) on moisture, protein and fat contents in fish whole body composition. The apparent digestibility of protein, fat, fiber, carbohydrates and ash were significantly different (P ˂0.05) for groups fed control, corn meal and chestnut meal based diets. The ADC value for protein was highest in group fed 5% chestnut containing diet and lowest value was exhibited by group fed 15% chestnut meal diet. The ADC values of crude fiber and crude fat were highest for diets containing 15% chestnut and 15% corn respectively and lowest in control group. The apparent digestibility of crude ash was highest for group fed diet containing 15% corn and lowest for diet containing 5% chestnut meal. It can be concluded that up to 25% of corn and chestnut meal can be used to substitute soybean meal in diet for Nile tilapia fingerlings on basis of weight gain without any negative effect on growth and feed utilization efficiency.

Published: January 2023

The current study looked into continuous two-dimensional Jeffery fluid flow and heat transfer with radiation and heat source effects past linearly stretched sheet under suction/injection conditions. I have investigated the effects of the magnetic dipole on two different thermal processes: prescribed surface temperature (PST) and prescribed heat flow (PHF). The governing non-linear PDEs are converted into a system of coupled non-linear ODEs using the appropriate transformations, and the numerical solutions are carried out using the bvp4c solver included in the MATLAB package. The effects of the parameters investigated—ferromagnetic interaction parameter (\(\beta\)), Deborah number (\(\gamma\)), radiation parameter (R), heat sources parameter (Q), Prandtl number (Pr), suction/injection parameter (S), ratio of relaxation to retardation times (\({\lambda _2}\)), and Grashof number (Gr)—on velocity and temperature profiles—are graphically depicted in the figures.

Published: January 2023

The most complex node in LTE-A is the base station referred to as eNodeB. eNodeB consists of two major elements Remote Radio Head (RRH) which consists of antennas and the Base Band Unit (BBU) which comprises of digital modules that processes all signals transmitted and received over the air interface and acts as the interface to the core network over a high-speed backhaul connection. The Remote Radio Head transforms the digital base-band signals of Base Band Unit into RF signals and improves power to transmit to the UE by means of protocol-specific processing. There is forever need for efficient and adaptive algorithm which can handle the load of peak time as well as non-peak time. An efficient scheduling algorithm to adjust and manage these network changes without degrading network performance and network quality is required at the Remote Radio Head which also remains the least explored component of eNodeB. Novel Improved Proportional Fair (iPF) Algorithm based approach has been proposed in this study made LTE based networks more efficient and fast in terms of parameters such as Peak Throughput, Average Throughput, Edge UE Throughput, Average Cell Throughput, Average UE Throughput, Spectral Efficiency, Fairness Index and RI Distribution.

Published: January 2023

This study analyzed the domestic research trends related to transition support for young children with disabilities using the Integrative Literature Review proposed by Whittemore and Knafl(2005). From 1999 to August 31, 2022, data were searched with related keywords among papers published in the domestic database, and 43 papers were finally selected according to specific selection and exclusion criteria. The research results are as follows. First, in 2007, when the「Act on Special Education for Persons with Disabilities」was enacted and in 2010, when compulsory education for 5-year-old children began, research on transition support for young children with disabilities was most actively conducted, and qualitative research targeting various related persons in various academic fields and quantitative and mixed studies were performed. As for the research topics, teachers’ and parents’ perceptions and experiences of transition support, elementary school selection factors/standards, connection with early childhood education, parenting stress, and the background of school probation were mentioned. Second, transition support for children with disabilities by level was analyzed at macro level, moderate level, and micro level. Third, problems such as lack of awareness among teachers, lack of awareness among related persons, lack of information on connection between early childhood and elementary school, and insufficient follow-up guidance were identified as obstacles hindering transition support for children with disabilities. Based on the results of this analysis, in the future, an institutional device for transition support should be prepared in which young children with disabilities and their families play a leading role while receiving professional support from related people rather than relying only on individual teachers’ capabilities.
