Effect of Corn Stover Ash Reinforced with Cabuya Fiber on the Mechanical Properties of Concrete
Authors: Gamboa Idrogo Oscar Gustavo , Leonardo Céspedes Jhony Alexander , Muñoz Pérez Sócrates Pedro , Leiva Piedra Jorge Luís , Garcia Juan , Alvarez Jorge
Published: June 2024

Currently, organic wastes are an environmental problem generating pollution, bad odors and accumulation of residues in northern Peru, among these products are corn stover and cabuya, predominant materials in the area. Therefore, this research focuses on determining the effect of optimum temperature and optimum percentage of corn stover ash (CSA) reinforced with different proportions of cabuya fiber (CF) on the mechanical properties of concrete. Two conventional designs of standard concrete called A and B (21 and 28 MPa) were made, to these designs were added percentages of CSA in 7%, 10%, 12% and 15% by substitution of the weight of cement to determine the optimum percentage, which was reinforced with percentages of cabuya fiber in 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2% in volume of the concrete. The results showed that the optimum mix was A/B+7CSA, evidencing an improvement in compressive strength of 2.7% as opposed to the optimum CSA +CF hybrid mix, where it was observed that its mechanical properties of compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength and static modulus of elasticity decreased to 15.8%, 11.30%, 5.14% and 10.5%, respectively. It is concluded that corn stover ash reinforced with cabuya fiber does not positively influence the mechanical properties of concrete; however, it is an environmentally sustainable alternative to be used in non-structural concrete.
Towards Decreasing Encroachments on Conserved Historic Buildings, Users Participation as an Approach: The Case of Youth Center- Sebastia
Authors: Itma Mohammed , Zawawi Zahraa
Published: June 2024

This paper examines what, why, and how users’ behavior can cause encroachments on historic buildings after conservation. It also introduces users’ participation in the conservation process as an approach to containing these encroachments. With this aim, this paper reviews the literature and extracts three approaches to user participation in the conservation process, which are social-benefits, economic-benefits, as well as emotional-needs. To examine the possible role of each approach in containing the negative practices by users, the youth center in Sebastia, Palestine has been analyzed as a case study in which the process of the encroachment of the users of these types of buildings and the reasons behind them have been studied. In addition to the former, this paper presents the users’ role in the deterioration of historic value and the visual appearance of the building within the short period of conservation. Based on this analysis, it was found that the encroachments have manifested in different forms, such as unsystematic interventions, sporadic neglect, and vandalism. Such intrusions on these structures are a direct result of not involving users in the conservation process. Thus, the paper discusses involving users in the former process to limit harmful practices using suitable approaches including users.

Published: June 2024

Anknüpfend an die Diskussionen um Mindest- oder Qualitätsanforderungen in der Familienrechtspsychologie (z. B. Arbeitsgruppe Familienrechtliche Gutachten, 2019; Salewski & Stürmer, 2015) und um Verzerrungen in forensischen Expertisen (z. B. Kunkler & Roy, 2023) präsentieren wir die inhaltliche Auswertung einer Gelegenheitsstichprobe von 73 Methodenkritischen Stellungnahmen (MKS) zu familienrechtspsychologischen Gutachten. Die MKS wurden von unabhängigen Teams der Universitäten Bonn und Hamburg neutral und ergebnisoffen erstellt und im Rahmen der Studie von jeweils zwei geschulten Personen unabhängig hinsichtlich der Kritikpunkte an den Originalgutachten analysiert. In der Bonner Stichprobe enthielten 45 % der Gutachten keine gravierenden Mängel, 67 % der in Hamburg eingereichten Gutachten wurden in einer Vorab-Prüfung als unproblematisch eingestuft. In einem substanziellen Anteil der Gutachten wurden laut MKS jedoch Mängel festgestellt, die sich auf die Gültigkeit der gutachterlichen Empfehlungen auswirken können (z. B. Einsatz potenziell oder erwiesenermaßen problematischer Methoden, nicht nachvollziehbare Schlussfolgerungen). MKS werden in der Regel jedoch nur bei Zweifeln an der Qualität eines Gutachtens in Auftrag gegeben und oft nur bei deren Bestätigung schriftlich fixiert. Deshalb erlaubt diese Analyse keine Aussagen über die absolute Auftretenswahrscheinlichkeit von bestimmten Mängeln bzw. über die Qualität von Familienrechtsgutachten im Allgemeinen. Sie liefert vielmehr Erkenntnisse über häufiger auftretende Kritikpunkte an Gutachten. Diese Daten erlauben eine Einschätzung, in welchen Bereichen wahrscheinlich die meisten Probleme bei der Einhaltung der Qualitätsanforderungen im Feld vorliegen. Implikationen für die Schulung von Sachverständigen und die Entwicklung von Maßnahmen zur Qualitätssicherung im Familienrecht werden anhand dieser empirischen Daten diskutiert.

Published: June 2024

Es ist wohl keine sehr gewagte These zu behaupten, dass das Geschlecht eines Menschen essentielle Auswirkungen auf dessen Identität und sein Verhalten haben kann. Für psychologische Sachverständige, die im Rahmen familienrechtlicher Verfahren mit einer Begutachtung beauftragt werden, wirft das die Frage auf, ob ihre Erhebungsergebnisse durch das eigene Geschlecht und durch die Tatsache, dass man entweder ein Mädchen oder einen Jungen untersucht, beeinflusst werden. In der vorliegenden Studie wurden auf Basis eines Datensatzes aus dem Feld anhand fünf gängiger psychologischer Testverfahren, die sich mit dem Beziehungs- und Erziehungserleben von Kindern auseinandersetzen, diese beiden Fragestellungen nach Haupteffekten des Geschlechts der Sachverständigen bzw. des Geschlechts der untersuchten Kinder sowie deren Interaktion auf die Diagnostik des kindlichen Beziehungs- und Erziehungserleben untersucht. Bei einer Stichprobe von mind. 22 Sachverständigen, die je nach Test zwischen 125 und 297 Kinder getestet hatten, wurde bei den insgesamt 33 untersuchten Testskalen in Bezug auf sechs Skalen ein Haupteffekt des Geschlechts der Kinder und im Falle von ebenfalls sechs Skalen ein Haupteffekt des Geschlechts der Sachverständigen auf die Testergebnisse gefunden. Diese Unterschiede folgten keinem erkennbar einheitlichen, inhaltlich bedeutsamen Muster und wiesen nur kleine Effektstärken auf. Signifikante Interaktionseffekte des Geschlechts der Sachverständigen und des Geschlechts der Kinder auf die Testergebnisse fanden sich nur in Bezug auf eine der 33 untersuchten Testskalen. Insgesamt legen diese Daten nahe, dass es fast keinen relevanten Einfluss des Geschlechts (sowohl von Sachverständigen als auch von Kindern) auf die Ergebnisse der hier betrachteten psychologischen Testverfahren zur Diagnostik des kindlichen Beziehungs- und Erziehungserlebens in der familienrechtspsychologischen Begutachtung gibt.

This paper presents the results of isotope-geochronological and petrological studies of gabbroic and combined diorite-granite dikes located in the eastern part of the Kaakhem magmatic area. Both groups of dikes cut through diorite-tonalite-plagiogranite associations of different ages (489±5 and 476±4 Ma). Zircons from granitoid of mingling dikes have an age of 477±3 Ma (LA-ICP-MS). The age of the gabbroic dikes was determined by LA-ICP-MS (zircon) and Ar-Ar (amphibole) methods and is 454±10 and 450±6.3 Ma, respectively. Similar contents of major and trace elements in basic and intermediate rocks of dikes indicate their formation from a single source with subduction characteristics. The salic rocks of the combined dikes vary in composition and are close to the heterogeneous diorite-tonalite-plagiogranite-granite associations of the host rocks. The formation of dike complexes occurred at the collisional stage of development of the Kaakhem magmatic area and is associated with the development of local extension zones.

Published: June 2024

Drawing comparisons between Rev. Jermain W. Loguen’s letters to African American newspapers during the mid-nineteenth century and the Apostle Paul’s letters to churches in Greece and Asia Minor, this manuscript examines Loguen’s employment of “constitutive rhetoric” to spread the “gospel” of abolitionism by mobilizing African American Christians in order to obliterate the sin of slavery. Employing theoretical frames by James Jasinksi and Kenneth Burke, I show how Loguen’s use of letters as “veins” within the organs of African American newspapers circulated information intended to rebuke, praise, and provoke his readers to respond collectively to the exigencies that plagued African Americans.
Being Spoken Through

Published: June 2024

Communicative means of interacting with the divine are often highly distinctive and deeply meaningful for participants. These linguistic practices embody assumptions about not only the nature of one’s relationship with the divine, but also with other people. This article presents an analysis of communication with the divine during Quaker worship, based both in group silence and “vocal ministry.” Using the ethnography of communication and cultural discourse theory, as well as the concept of participation framework, I explore how communication practices—reflecting certain understandings of message motivation and recipientship—are based in a positive interpretation of human potential.

Para el efecto se seleccionó un grupo de empresas que se estima presenta información relevante y confiable, aplicando con una investigación de tipo descriptiva, con enfoque cualitativo. Los resultados obtenidos determinan que, si bien la norma forma parte de las políticas de las empresas bananeras, en la práctica aún hay aspectos a mejorar. Al trabajar bajo un régimen que calcula el impuesto directamente desde las ventas, los efectos que genera el cambio por la medición a valor razonable no impactan significativamente en el campo tributario.
Abstract
The banana industry is relevant within the Ecuadorian economy. They participate from large companies to small farmers, for whom the sale of this product represents their main source of income. Companies in the sector must comply with their obligations, including taxation. Additionally, compliance with accounting regulations is required, where IAS 41 is of great importance. The present research project to know the tax impact generated by the application of IAS 41 in banana companies in the Province of Los Ríos, for this purpose the correct application of the standard has been analyzed, the tax reconciliation presented by the companies has been evaluated, and expert opinion has been sought. For this purpose, a group of companies was selected that are estimated to present relevant and reliable information, applying a descriptive research, with a qualitative approach. The results obtained determine that, although the standard is part of the policies of banana companies, in practice there are still aspects to improve. By working under a regime that calculates the tax directly from sales, the effects generated by the change by the measurement at fair value do not significantly impact the tax field.

Published: June 2024

Ennore Creek, located in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, is a significant coastal ecosystem affected by dynamic sedimentary processes influenced by natural and human factors. This research investigates the sedimentological characteristics of the Ennore creek, focusing on calcium carbonate (CaCO3), organic matter, and particle composition (sand, silt, and clay percentages) from the estuary to the open ocean. The study reveals an increasing trend of calcium carbonate content from the estuary to the open ocean, indicating marine biogenic processes and environmental changes. Higher calcium carbonate abundance in the open ocean suggests increased biogenic calcification, offering insights into historical hydrological conditions and past climate changes. Organic matter content varies, higher near the estuary due to clay's presence, influencing organic matter retention. Organic matter plays a vital role in biogeochemical cycling, impacting ecological health and necessitating sustainable management. Particle composition analysis identifies diverse sedimentary environments, with higher sand content indicative of coastal erosion and sediment transport. Lower clay content suggests faster sedimentation rates or limited deposition due to creek hydrodynamics. Silt presence indicates contributions from local and upstream sources. This sedimentological study provides essential information about natural processes and human impacts in Ennore Creek, guiding conservation and sustainable practices to preserve this delicate coastal ecosystem and its biodiversity

Authors: Kar Siddheshwar , Rahiman Riyaz A , Sreedevi S. L. , Patwa Sharda
Published: June 2024

This proposed system presents the management and control of power flow to DC loads in grid-tied photovoltaic systems. Due to its intermittent nature, the PV produces low voltage. Therefore, in order for obtaining substantial power from a solar panel during oscillations in ambient conditions, a DC-DC landsman converter is used in this study. In addition to this, the ripples in the output voltage and settling time are reduced. For the efficient use of the DC distribution system (DCDS) and for the power grid to remain stable, the Spotted Hyena Optimized (SPO) PI controller with DC-DC converter is employed. Where the controller's parameters, which take into account the total of the errors of the reference and output voltage are optimized. The PWM generator receives the controller's output and produces the PWM pulses required for the Landsman converter to operate properly. The grid is then given the continuous DC link voltage. By simulating and running the suggested system’s simulation model in MATLAB, the proposed converters and the controller's veracity is examined. It is proven from the deduced data that the suggested system performs at 96% efficiency with a low Total Harmonic Distortion of 2.32%.

LIPID RATIOS AND ATHEROGENIC INDEX AS SURROGATE BIOMARKERS OF SUBCLINICAL ATHEROSCLEROSIS IN PATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS
Authors: Suchitra Dr. M. M. , Sasikala T.
Published: June 2024

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) increases the risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Considering the cost factor for some important biomarkers for atherosclerosis and imaging techniques, it is proposed that lipid ratios and atherogenic index (AI) may give better information for early prediction of atherosclerotic disease and can contribute to the CVD risk assessment. Hence atherogenic index (AI), Castelli risk indices (CRI-1 & II), and atherogenic coefficient (AC) were evaluated as potential indicators of subclinical atherosclerosis and their association with anthropometric measurements were assessed. Methods: Subjects were categorized in groups using the measurement of carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) assessed by carotid Doppler ultra sonography, as non diabetic controls with CIMT less than 0.57 mm (n=60;Group 1), T2DM subjects with CIMT less than 0.57 mm (n=60; Group 2), CIMT greater than or equal to 0.57 mm (n=60; Group 3). Results: Waist and hip circumference (WC, HC), triglycerides (TGL), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), AI, CRI-I and AC were found to be significantly elevated with high density lipoprotein (HDL) levels significantly lowered in T2DM subjects compared to controls. WC, HC, BMI, TGL,VLDL, AI, CRI-I and AC were found to have significant positive correlation with CIMT. HDL was found to have significant negative correlation with CIMT. The diagnostic performance of AI in predicting subclinical atherosclerosis was significant with higher sensitivity (85%) and specificity (80.0%) at a cut off value of 0.38. Conclusion: In subjects with T2DM having CIMT of greater than or equal to 0.57 mm, the AI cut off value of greater than or equal to 0.38 was found to strongly indicate the presence of subclinical atherosclerosis. Hence AI can serve as a surrogate biomarker of subclinical atherosclerosis.

Chitosan is a strong, biocompatible, biodegradable, and non-toxic linear polysaccharide that can be used in a various pharmaceutical drug delivery application. Chitosan possesses special physicochemical and biological properties that are necessary for the development of safe and effective drug delivery systems. Chelation is one of chitosan's most useful characteristics. It can selectively bind to specific substances, including protein, tumour cells, metal ions, lipids, and cholesterol. Additionally, because it is biodegradable by nature, it does not result with allergic responses or rejection. The human body entirely produces armless product during metabolism. Since chitosan is an effective cationic polymer for membrane synthesis, it can also be used to create artificial kidney membranes. In addition to these properties, it has a number of medicinal uses, including analgesic, hypo-cholesterolemic, hemostatic antitumor, anti-oxidant spermicidal, CNS depressant, immune adjuvant properties, antacid, antiulcer activities, wound and burn healing action, and has been found to be suitable for immobilizing enzymes and living cells in ophthalmology. The development of nasal, vaginal, ophthalmic, transdermal & topical, buccal, parenteral, colon-specific, and implantable drug delivery systems are important uses of chitosan in the pharmaceutical field. The crucial factors of purity, degree of acetylation, viscosity, and molecular weight should be taken into account while selecting chitosan for targeted drug delivery.. Drug delivery systems made of chitosan nanoparticles, microspheres, and beads are commonly used. Chitosan microspheres are used to deliver a variety of drugs with controlled release, to improve the bioavailability of substances that degrade readily, like protein, or to enhance the uptake of hydrophilic substances via epithelial layers.. Targeted medication delivery employs magnetic chitosan microspheres so that drugs are kept at target site while being affected by an external magnetic field. Due to its abilities to increase absorption and penetration, chitosan has been also utilized for the oral delivery of genes and peptides.

Published: June 2024

Oryza sativa L., commonly known as rice, is a crop that is extensively cultivated worldwide and is recognized as the "global grain." In the current context, the pressing requirement for sustainable agricultural practices that ensure food production without compromising crop yield and producer income has become a significant objective. This is due to the escalating environmental pollution, augmented use of chemical fertilizers, and the gradual deterioration of cultivated soils. In order to mitigate the aforementioned environmental degradation, minimize the reliance on chemical fertilizers, reduce cultivation expenses, and achieve sustainable production, a viable and ecologically sound solution would involve the utilization of natural plant bio-stimulants (PBs). These PBs have the capacity to augment flowering, promote plant growth, facilitate fruit set, enhance crop productivity, and improve nutrient use efficiency (NUE). Additionally, they possess the ability to enhance tolerance against various abiotic stresses. Studies have demonstrated that bio-stimulants such as humic acid, which encompass an intricate blend of polysaccharides, micronutrients, and plant growth hormones, facilitate the growth of plants and enhance their ability to withstand abiotic stresses. Humic substances, being highly adaptable and indispensable constituents of the inherent soil-ecosystem, have endured for centuries. Foliar application of humic acid could increase osmotic regulators compared with other fertilizer resources, reducing the damage caused by drought stress to some functional traits of cultivars. Humic acid, in comparison with other nutritional systems at higher levels, lead to increase in chlorophyll levels. It also causes photosynthetic stability with increase in yield. Humic acid exerts a beneficial influence on the efficacy of enzymes and nutrients in plant metabolism. It improves the chemical, physical and biological characteristics of the soil. In this mini review, we detailed the humic acid sources, extraction methods and its benefits and effect of humic acid application combined with NPK fertilizer to rice.

Materials containing two or more constituents that have distinctly different chemical and physical properties are referred to as composites. When polymers and other organic or inorganic components are mixed at the nanometric scale, they form the heterogeneous hybrid materials known as nanocomposites. The process of developing and polymerizing in situ biopolymers and inorganic matrixes is the one most frequently used to create nanocomposites. Because of their adaptable shape, significant specific surface area, and simplicity of functionalization, polymer nanocomposites are frequently employed. As per their scattered “dispersed phase” and “matrix phase” components, nanocomposites can be categorized. In addition to their many other applications, multi-functional hybrid materials have shown tremendous promise in the fields of optics, sensors, environmental cleanup, electronics, catalysis, soft robotics, storage, energy transformation, mechanics, electromagnetic interface shielding and drug delivery. This study focuses on describing recent advancements in preparation and structure characterized using different techniques, as well as the distinctive characteristics and applications of diverse polymeric nanocomposites.
