Intense braking can cause heat accumulation that can reduce the braking system’s efficiency and damage the braking system components due to changes in material structure. The high temperature in the braking system of heavy vehicles requires an air-cooling system that produces high-pressure air. This study compares the cooling process results between natural air and forced air. CFD modeling was chosen as the method to simulate the cooling process of bus drum brakes. The CFD method works by involving a network of elements in a system called a mesh. In CFD, the mesh is a component that focuses on dividing the fluid domain into small elements to analyze fluid flow, heat transfer, and dynamic phenomena. Using a cooling process, the brake system temperature gradually decreased as the wind speed increased. The examination proved that natural air could reach the highest temperature of 168.73 °C and the lowest temperature of 63.01 °C. Meanwhile, forced air could reach the highest temperature of 73.8 °C and the lowest temperature of 30.73 °C. Statistical models and machine learning were carried out to predict the accuracy of simulation from SOLIDWORKS. The values of average temperature after the cooling process are examined by employing the Gradient Boosting algorithm with the highest accuracy of prediction (R2) value of 0.999895 in natural conditions and 0.999822 in forced conditions. Overall, forced air shows better temperature reduction than natural air. By lowering the operating temperature, drum brake systems can extend their lifespan.

The use of nanoparticle coolants in automotive radiators for motorcycle engines increases the heat transfer rate and facilitates a reduction in overall radiator size. In this study, the heat transfer and pressure drop of green nanofluid (ZrO2-SiO2) based on EG/Water (40:60) were analyzed experimentally and compared with base fluids (water, and EG/Water). Three different concentrations were prepared by adding 0.1 to 0.3% of green nanofluids (ZrO2-SiO2/EG-Water). Experiments were carried out by varying the coolant flow rate between 4 to 18 LPM for a working temperature of 80 °C, the air flow rate remained at 4 m/s, to understand the effect of coolant flow rate on heat transfer and pressure drop in the system. The results show that the heat transfer performance of green nanofluid (ZrO2-SiO2/EG-Water) has been investigated for volume concentrations up to 0.3% and working temperatures of 80°C. The maximum increase in heat transfer coefficient for the cooling side was observed to be 47.17% at a volume concentration of 0.3%. The decrease in pressure has the same pattern as the increase in volume concentration.

Darcy-Forchheimer Flow of Hybrid Carbon Nanotube over a Permeable Stretching/Shrinking Curved Surface
Authors: Anuar Nur Syazana , Aladdin Nur Adilah Liyana , Pop Ioan
Published: January 2025

The Darcy-Forchheimer flow of hybrid carbon nanotube over a permeable curved stretching/shrinking surface is investigated in this work. The Darcy-Forchheimer phrase is used to describe porous spaces with different porosity and permeability. The current problem is modelled using curvilinear coordinates due to the curved form of the geometry. A similarity transformation will be applied to the partial differential equations (PDEs) of the fluid flow to convert them to ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The numerical solutions of the equations of continuity, momentum, and energy are obtained using the bvp4c solver in MATLAB. To examine the impact of various physical parameters, including nanoparticle volume fraction, suction, inertia coefficient, and porosity, on temperature and velocity profiles, as well as the local Nusselt number and skin friction, a comprehensive graphical analysis is conducted. By carefully modifying these parameters and scrutinizing their effects on the flow and heat transfer properties, a dual solution was observed on the graphs. The results suggest that increasing the single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) nanoparticle and inertia coefficient parameters narrow the range of solutions. When the SWCNT of a shrinking curved sheet is raised, the skin friction increases. Meanwhile, the inertia coefficient showed the opposite pattern. The increased SWCNT and inertia coefficient parameters decrease the local Nusselt number. Moreover, the findings are compared and rigorously confirmed with previous reported findings in the literature.

Enhancing green chili growth using eggshell waste as a carrier for NPK biofertilizer consortium in soil
Authors: Ghorai Palash , Ghosh Dipankar
Published: January 2025

Biofertilizer technology continues to be derailed by the short shelf life of inoculants. The survival efficiency of rhizobacterial inoculants in biofertilizer formulations dramatically depends on the choice of carrier material. The use of wastes as carriers for biofertilizer formulations is a commonly explored option because of their ready availability, cost-effectiveness and ability to affect soil health. The present study investigated the suitability of eggshell (ES) as a carrier for cow dung waste (CDC) and lignite (L) in the combined formulation of green chili plant growth using three rhizobacterial inoculants, namely, the N-fixing bacterium Enterobacter sp. GG1, the P-solubilizing bacterium Bacillus sonorensis GG2, and the K-solubilizing bacterium Lysinibacillus fusiformis GG3, under room-temperature conditions. The combination of eggshell and lignite supported the maximum viability of Enterobacter sp. GG1 (9.09±0.025 log CFU g-1), B. sonorensis GG2 (9.19±0.023025 log CFU g-1), and L. fusiformis GG3 (9.09±0.042025 log CFU g-1) under six-month room conditions. A new physiochemically formulated eggshell with an NPK consortium exhibited a significant correlation at the 0.05 significance level (2-tailed). Considering the results of this study on the optimization of green chili plants after two months of treatment under environmental conditions, the maximum growth of plants inoculated with the NPK consortium (ES+L) was 159.16% shoot and 40.58% root growth, with increased available plant nutrients in clayey soil (i.e., N 64.54±1.81 ppm, P 29.51±1.65 ppm, and K 73.95±6.43 ppm). The findings of this study highlight the potential of eggshell waste as a sustainable and effective carrier material for biofertilizer formulations, addressing waste management challenges to enhance rhizobacterial viability and improve nutrient availability in soil.
Interdisciplinarity and Stages in a Process of Engagement with Theatre Practice and Disability
Authors: Worthington Nina Michelle
Published: January 2025

Navigating recent shifts in diversity agenda in the theatre industry and ensuring continued moves towards the accurate representation, equal participation, and valued contribution of disabled people on and off stage requires interdisciplinary perspectives. Many involved in day-to-day theatre work lack knowledge commonplace to disability scholars. They also lack understanding of lived disability experience and perspectives crucial for understanding attitudes, structures, and environments experienced in theatre settings. This article considers the most necessary aspects of disability studies knowledge to share in building, and moving forward from, disability consciousness in the theatre sector and training. It introduces stages in a process of engagement with theatre practice and disability for actors and directors, and a reflective tool for personal positioning in a process of engagement with theatre practice and disability. The article examines how interdisciplinary perspectives support individuals’ processes of exploring new territory, building familiarity across disabled and nondisabled communities, and sharing responsibility for industry-wide change.

Reconceptualizing
Blindness
through the Political/Relational Model
Authors: Durso Sabrina
Published: January 2025

The proliferation of troubling literary disability metaphors that reinforce the abled-disabled binary continues to spark justified outrage amongst the disability community; however, does this mean these works have little to no use within the classroom to explore the political and relational complexities of disability? José Saramago’s
Blindness
is one such ableist text as it literalizes metaphors of blindness to examine the ramifications of a world ravaged by a blindness epidemic. However, once analyzed alongside the political/relational model,
Blindness
confronts power structures that lead to the oppression of those with visual impairments through ocularcentric societal structures, while simultaneously highlighting the social complexities of vision impairment. By examining the journey of the small group and their sighted guide,
Blindness
demonstrates how sight dependent society is, emphasizes the consequential marginalization of those within the blind community, and proves relationality between those more able-bodied and those with disabilities is key to blurring the oppressive binary that exists among them.
“Accept Me for What I Am and I’ll Accept You for What You’re Accepted As”
Authors: Wilders David
Published: January 2025

This article posits that the literary works of Irish writer and poet Christopher Nolan have been underread and underappreciated in the academy for two main reasons. First, he is a disabled writer and scholars outside of disability studies have thus avoided him. Second, his writing is neologistic, elliptical, and demanding of its readers. Likewise, his life writing does not conform to any normative narrative arc of overcoming. This article first outlines contextual biographical information about Nolan, his life, and his work. The second section outlines a theoretical framework for exploring the lack of engagement with Nolan, and how the concept of disability as method can explain the formulation of Nolan’s unique writing style. The third section centres on close reading and analysis of biographical texts,
Dam-Burst of Dreams
(1981) and
Under the Eye of the Clock
(1987).
Disability Images as Evidence
Authors: R Nandana
Published: January 2025

This article argues that disability photographs produced by the regional print media in Kerala in relation to the Kasargod–Endosulfan episode play a crucial role in enabling the reading/viewing public to engage with the particular context and controversy. Images of Endosulfan-affected people with disabilities were circulated to refute the state’s claims that “there is no scientific evidence” to prove the causality between Endosulfan spraying and the acquisition of impairment among the populations in Kasargod. Though these photographs were produced by the media as a response to the state’s demand for scientific evidence, they were received and interpreted as legal evidence that proved the state’s crime. The article examines the new meanings around disability and the social and political implications that emerged from this shift of understanding disability as scientific evidence to interpreting it as testimonial evidence. For this, the article analyses photographs and accompanied captions published in the regional print media about the K–E episode in the context of science debates in Kerala. It also examines how these images enabled the reading/viewing public—encompassing the affected people with disabilities, their caregivers, NGOs, and activists—to access justice frameworks.
What Rogue Hydrogen Clouds Tell Us about Galactic Magnetic Fields
Authors: Forster Bailey M. , Foster Tyler J. , Kothes Roland , Hill Alex S. , Brown Jo-Anne C.
Published: January 2025

Observations of the Milky Way and external galaxies support the idea that large-scale magnetic fields are concentrated in galactic disks, with halo magnetic fields at least an order of magnitude weaker. However, very little is known about the transition between the two. We present the discovery of linearly polarized radio emission at the interface between interacting shells of gas within a well-known grouping of high-velocity clouds (HVCs), the anticenter shell. Faraday rotation of diffuse emission and of background extragalactic compact sources demonstrates an enhancement of the field at the interface. This is the clearest observed example of an HVC altering the large-scale magnetic field at the disk–halo interface and is the first image of magnetic field effects in an HVC. These results demonstrate the possibility of future three-dimensional reconstruction of the Galactic magnetic field and showcase the versatility of the Synthesis Telescope at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory as one of the few existing telescopes that can exploit this new method of probing Galactic magnetism.
Arthur Rimbaud. Éthique du temps de l’immaturité
Authors: Vivès Vincent
Published: January 2025

« La Poésie ne rythmera plus l’action, elle sera en avant », dit Arthur Rimbaud. Qu’est-ce donc qu’être en avant ? Avancer au-devant de l’humanité, œuvrer à la libération de l’humanité. Mais aussi être dans une sortie de la poésie. Rimbaud inaugure une poésie qui sort de la poésie et instaure un nouveau rapport à la littérature, qu’on nommera éthique. C’est à comprendre la portée de cette éthique que la présente réflexion s’attache. Fondamentalement, des œuvres comme Une saison en enfer ou Illuminations ne bâtissent rien qui ne cherche à s’écrouler. Et le cheminement rapide et radical de Rimbaud n’aura été qu’une succession de saisons, ressemblant à des stations christiques, des crises communalistes ou des délires apprivoisés, toutes inefficientes par leur participation aux discours du monde. Mais si la poétique rimbaldienne sort d’elle-même, jusqu’à disparaître, c’est aussi pour engager une éthique chez le lecteur, rendu à l’immaturité du jeu et à la liberté du sens.

Authors: Fadwa Elleuch
Published: January 2025

Our research work aims to study the lateral transshipment problem as a mode of cooperation between different retailers who are located at the same level. In the first work, we apply a simulation-optimization approach based on a metamodel to search for the different measures of the initial level of replenishment. Then, by applying a series of simulation experiments by the ARENA software to select the best lateral transshipment policy. This aims to maximize the expected average global gain and minimize the average global Disservice rate. For this, several Transshipment policies will be tested, for example; non-pooling, full pooling and partial pooling policies depending on the selection of physical inventory thresholds.
Promoting Primary School Chinese Teachers Teaching Competence
Authors: Ma Xinyao
Published: January 2025

Chinese primary school teachers' teaching competency encompasses a range of components, including the values, abilities, and information needed to advance their teaching in the classroom. However, there is currently a dearth of study in this area, particularly with regard to educational digitalization, which presents Chinese primary school teachers with new demands and difficulties. In order to address this research gap, 179 Chinese primary school teachers in China were surveyed for this study. Scales were used to collect quantitative data, and interviews were used to gather qualitative data for in-depth analysis. The findings show that Chinese primary school teachers have an upper-middle level of overall teaching competency. Notably, professional knowledge in the digital context and the characteristics of digital learning and innovation showed lower ratings. The five categories of professional knowledge, teaching skills, digital learning and innovation, professional character, and personal attributes also showed notable disparities between groups of Chinese primary school teachers.

It offers new perspectives for effective interventions to improve vaccination behaviour.Aim: To investigate key factors influencing stress related to vaccination in emergency situations among healthcare professionals.Setting: Eastern region of Morocco.Methods: We conducted a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study involving 221 healthcare professionals in the Eastern region of Morocco. A snowball sampling method was used to select the participants who were administered a questionnaire. Logistic regression analysis was performed with p  0.05 being the level of statistical significance.Results: The participants had a median age of 25.5 years (30–34.5) and were predominantly females (68.3%). Vaccination coverage stood at 84.6%, with a positive perception of 77.8%. The analysis of the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) revealed that 51.6% (n = 114) of healthcare professionals experienced stress towards vaccination. Females were almost two times more susceptible to experiencing vaccination stress (p = 0.03). Furthermore, the analysis showed that vaccination profile (p = 0.02), accepting the vaccine for any reason other than its accessibility (p = 0.03) and having a previous coronavirus disease 2019 infection (p = 0.03), were significantly associated with stress. In contrast, healthcare professionals based at the university hospital had a significantly lower stress level (p = 0.01).Conclusion: Moroccan healthcare professionals exhibited high vaccine acceptance and positive perceptions, particularly among vaccinated individuals despite notable stress around immunisation.Contribution: These insights can guide governments and policymakers in developing strategies to enhance healthcare workers’ awareness and understanding of vaccination.

Introduction:

Tracheal intubation induces significant haemodynamic changes, posing risks, especially in vulnerable patient populations. Esmolol and lidocaine are commonly used pharmacological agents to mitigate this response. Their relative efficacy remains debated, necessitating a systematic review and meta-analysis to provide definitive guidance.

Methods:

We followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines to conduct a comprehensive search of electronic databases and manual searches of reference lists. The inclusion criteria comprised randomised controlled trials comparing esmolol versus lidocaine in attenuating haemodynamic responses to tracheal intubation in adults. Data were extracted, and the risk of bias was assessed. A meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4.

Results:

Five studies met our inclusion criteria. Studies varied in location, sample size, age and weight. Esmolol demonstrated a significant effect on mean arterial blood pressure (mean difference [MD] = 6.48, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.99–7.96, P < 0.0001) and heart rate (MD = 9.21, 95% CI: 7.15–11.28, P < 0.001) compared to lidocaine. Heterogeneity was low for mean arterial blood pressure (I
2 = 0%, P = 0.40) and moderate for heart rate (I
2 = 44%, P = 0.13).

Conclusion:

Esmolol and lidocaine are effective in blunting the haemodynamic response to tracheal intubation. Esmolol’s selective α1-adrenergic receptor blockade reduces sympathetic tone and myocardial contractility, while lidocaine stabilises cardiac membranes and attenuates reflex responses. Our meta-analysis suggests that esmolol may offer superior haemodynamic control. Individual patient characteristics should guide pharmacological agent selection.

Introduction:

Treatment decision-making for oesophageal cancer is particularly challenging when the disease is in its early stages, contributing significantly to the worldwide health burden. Endoscopic procedures have become popular as less intrusive substitutes for surgery in the treatment of oesophageal cancer in its early stages. The objective of this systematic review is to assess and compare, in patients with early-stage oesophageal cancer, the long-term survival and complication outcomes of endoscopic versus surgical therapy.

Methodology:

Using electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane Library), a thorough literature search was carried out to find pertinent published research. Research comparing surgical resection with endoscopic procedures (endoscopic submucosal dissection and endoscopic mucosal resection) for early-stage oesophageal cancer was encompassed. We gathered and evaluated data on overall survival, death and complications.

Results:

A total of 30 studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. The studies encompassed a diverse range of patient populations and interventions, with varying follow-up periods. Overall, endoscopic interventions were associated with comparable long-term survival outcomes to surgical resection, with significant differences in overall mortality rates, complications and long-term survival rates observed between the two treatment modalities: odds ratio (OR) =0.426, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.293–0.617, P < 0.001 and OR = 0.713, 95% CI: 0.581–0.875, P = 0.001, respectively. However, endoscopic interventions were associated with lower rates of complications (OR = 0.270, 95% CI: 0.185–0.394, P < 0.001) compared to surgery.

Conclusion:

Endoscopic interventions are effective in early-stage oesophageal cancer treatment, with comparable long-term survival compared to surgical resection. However, further research is needed to determine the most suitable treatment strategy.

Background:

The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors, particularly nivolumab and ipilimumab, has revolutionised melanoma treatment. However, the optimal approach between combined therapy and monotherapy remains debated. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of combined nivolumab plus ipilimumab versus monotherapy in melanoma patients.

Methods:

A comprehensive search was conducted in major databases for relevant studies comparing the outcomes of combined nivolumab plus ipilimumab versus monotherapy in melanoma patients. Data regarding safety outcomes, including adverse events and efficacy outcomes, such as overall response rate and progression-free survival, were extracted and analysed.

Results:

A total of 8 studies met the inclusion criteria. The meta-analysis revealed that combined nivolumab plus ipilimumab therapy significantly increased survival rates compared to monotherapy (P = 0.0006). As well as it was associated with a lower incidence of grade 3–4 adverse events (P < 0.00001). Subgroup analysis by monotherapy drug provided further insights into the comparative safety and efficacy profiles.

Conclusion:

In melanoma patients, combined nivolumab plus ipilimumab therapy demonstrates superior efficacy in terms of survival and adverse events compared to monotherapy. These findings highlight the need for individualised treatment decisions considering both efficacy and safety profiles. Further research, particularly in specific patient subgroups, is warranted to refine treatment strategies for melanoma.

Background:

Elbow fractures are recognized as a cause of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) of the elbow, and there are wide variations in the studated incidences. The incidence and risk factors for developing PTOA after elbow fractures are reviewed in this systematic review and meta-analysis.

Methods:

We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Scopus from inception to February 2024, and conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis. Elbow fractures in adults with at least 12 months’ followup were included in studies reporting incidence and risk factors for PTOA. For study and patient characteristics, fracture classification, treatment, and incidence of PTOA, data extraction was performed. Newcastle Ottawa Scale was used to assess quality. Heterogeneity was addressed by random-effects meta-analysis and subgroup/meta-regression analyses.

Results:

The 25 studies included involved a total of 1,538 patients. The pooled incidence of PTOA after elbow fractures was 30.3% (95% CI: 25.2%–35.8%). Incidence of simple fractures and intra articular fractures was reported. Significant risk factors included advanced age, male gender, fracture displacement and comminution, intraarticular fracture fragments, and nonoperative treatment.

Conclusion:

In approximately 30% of patients who have an elbow fracture, PTOA will occur, and intra-articular fractures are associated with a higher risk. Optimization of management and reduction in long term arthritis may be achieved by identifying modifiable risk factors (eg, ensuring fracture reduction and fixation).
