Published: December 2022

Electrification is the rising trend within the sector of transportation. It is happening not solely within the automotive business as it conjointly spreads wide into alternative industry. The airline business is a different field that is targeted underneath fast change into electrification stage. In the mere future there will be marketed new systems for ground maneuvering of aircrafts. Main reason why these new devices are to maximize the effort to decrease prices and environmental impacts of aviation. Airline operations mainly ground operation is one among the important source of emissions within the airports as taxing is performed by using jet engines inefficient idle thrust. Standard aircraft transportation consumes nearly to some percentage of the world’s complete fossil fuels, that equals to nearly 13% of the whole usage of fuel for transportation. Particularly in the billowing increment from evolving countries, the consumption rate of fuel is anticipated to extend quickly. Our approach of solving this problem is by implementing electrical motors which will be integrated within the main landing gears to alter electrical drive of the airplane to perform ground operations whereas they are off main engines throughout the taxiing method thereby increasing aircraft potency, decreasing fuel consumption, value reduction, reducing emission and reduced noise.

Authors: Kumar J Pratap , Raj Anil , K Ramesha , Rout Ivan Sunit
Published: December 2022

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid-state welding technique in which the joint quality was predominantly subjected to heat formation throughout the metal welding process. The weld joint produced from FSW was better than the other fusion welding process. In this research, the base plates AA6101 and C11000 of 5 mm thickness were joined using the hardened oil-hardened nonshrinkable steel(OHNS) tool by the FSW method. The design of experiment (DOE) was used to optimize the input parameters such as tool rotational speed (rpm), feed rate (mm/min), and tool pin offset (mm) on output parameter ultimate tensile strength (UTS). The design of experiment (DOE) was carried out by employing a Taguchi L9 orthogonal array, three factors, and three levels for obtaining a quality joint with good strength. The results of nine trial runs from the Taguchi experimental approach were formulated and analyzed using the statistical tool analysis of variance (ANOVA) using MINITAB 19 software. ANOVA analysis was employed to find the contribution of the input parameters toward the output. The optimized input process parameters will help to create effective weld joints. This study revealed that tool pin offset towards softer metal at medium tool rotational speed would create joints with the highest UTS. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) was applied to investigate the structural changes in the FSW of Al-Cu joints.Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid-state welding technique in which the joint quality was predominantly subjected to heat formation throughout the metal welding process.

Published: December 2022

Synthetic fiber reinforced composites have already been proved to be stronger and more durable. The composites are being globally used in all the possible fields like automobiles, aircraft and marine industry. The present work is an investigation on the wear behaviour of the hybrid polymer composites. In this experimental work, the carbon fibres are reinforced with vinyl ester, g-C3N4 and Si3N4 were used to obtain hybrid composite by hand layup technique. The experiments were designed according to Taguchi (L27) orthogonal array. Experiments are carried out using slurry abrasive wear testing machine to inspect the wear rate. Further, a fuzzy logic model is adopted for the estimation of sliding wear in hybrid composites by the experimental data. Results showed that estimated fuzzy logic outputs are compared to experimental results, which is very much satisfied with a mean error estimation of 0.27%, so that the fuzzy logic model can be efficiently used to compute the wear performance.

Authors: Lakshmi Kala K. , Prahlada Rao K.
Published: December 2022

The drilling of multi-material stacks is a complex task for engineers due to their heterogeneous nature. Delamination is the main surface damage involved during multi-material composites drilling leads to workpiece rejection. In this work, the influence of three distinct drill geometries with different diameters and cutting parameters in the drilling have been assessed through the delamination factor. Machining trials involved drilling of holes on CFRP/Al/CFRP composites according to L27 Taguchi’s orthogonal array (OA) approach using the solid carbide drill tools. Analysis of variance has been used to find the effect, percentage contribution, and significance of the process parameters, namely, cutting speed, feed rate, drill bit type and diameter. The focus of this article is to convey multi-objective optimization of CNC drilling parameters using the Grey-Taguchi method to achieve the minimum response in the machining of multi-material composites used in aircraft industries. The hybrid technique’s effective execution aids in the production of high-quality, defect-free holes.
Force Sensitive Resistors : A New and Emerging Field of Research in Conducting Polymers
Authors: Bhargav S. , Sundara Rajan J.
Published: December 2022

Conducting polymers are fast evolving as a critical domain of research for industrial applications. With the advent of carbon conducting fillers, very high electrical conductivity of polymers is achieved. The polymers are biocompatible and are used for drug delivery, wearables and as sensors for industrial and medical electronics. Though the electrical conduction mechanisms are well correlated to the geometry, weight percentage and intrinsic properties of the conducting fillers, achieving a proper balance of electrical, mechanical and thermal properties has been a challenging task. This paper discusses the importance of conducting polymers in the development of force sensitive resistors which are extensively useful in industrial and medical applications. A brief review of conducting polymer matrices, conducting fillers and their properties which are critical for force sensing are discussed. Some of the important characteristic features of force sensing resistors are enumerated and few medical applications are presented.
An Analysis of the Researches on Independence activist Shin Kyusik
Authors:   HUFS Institute of History and Culture, Lee Sookhwa
Published: December 2022

The purpose of this study is to review existing academic research and present future research tasks about the life and ideology of Shin Kyusik, an anti-Japanese activist. We find this is a fitting way to commemorate the 100th anniversary of his death.
Around 38 research theses about Shin Kyusik have been published to date. Among these theses, the majority focus on Shin’s independence struggles, while four studies are related to Daejonggyo religion, and five studies are about his book, 『Korean Spirit』 as well as the various poems he also authored. The impacts of these theses may seem minor when compared to his accomplishments, which left a large footprint in the Korean independence activists, however they are still valuable to inform us of his views and achievements.
In this study, the historical facts about Shin’s acts are first introduced by classifying the results of previous studies according to their subject. Second, this study then examines some generally misunderstood facts about Shin’s life and his anti-Japanese activists, but those that were corrected through follow-up studies were also summarized. The views of the researchers on the contents of the issues are also expressed in this study.
While previous studies have contributed to illuminating Shin Kyusik’s accomplishments to further Korean independence, researchers have not sufficiently delved into Shin’s ideology and his life as an independence activist. Errors concerning the date of Shin’s birth and the time of his exile to Shanghai have also been corrected through the follow-up studies, but his historic roles in establishing the Provisional Government of Korea still remains controversial.
In the future, when conducting in-depth research on Shin Kyusik, it will also be necessary to focus on his ideology, his historic role and ideas in Daejonggyo Religion, and his solidarity with Chinese revolutionaries. It will also be worthwhile analyzing and discussing his poems to have a complete body of research about his life and ideology.
Surgical Management of Lutembacher’s Syndrome in Congestive Cardiac Failure: A Case Report & Review of Literature
Authors: Yadav Rajeshwar , Pathak Swati , Gupta Shubham Kumar
Published: December 2022

Introduction: Lutembacher’s syndrome is a rare clinical entity. In 1916, French physician Rene Lutembacher described his first case of 61 years old woman with a combination of congenital ASD with acquired MS. But he attributed this mitral lesion to congenital mitral stenosis. The definition of this syndrome named after him has undergone many changes since then. The current consensus defines Lutembacher Syndrome (LS) as any combination of ASD (congenital or iatrogenic) and MS (congenital or acquired). The clinical presentation of LS is a result of the interplay between the size of ASD, the severity of MS, pulmonary vascular resistance and RV compliance. Financial constraints also add to the delayed diagnosis and adequate treatment in our part of the world. Here we have discussed a case of LS with severe TR and moderate PAH in congestive cardiac failure which was successfully treated by surgery thereby demonstrating cost-effective and successful surgical management of a rare cardiac disease where vascular resistance, compliance, size and severity of lesions interplay causing cardiac failure.
Case report: A 42 years old thin built, poorly nourished housewife presented with chest discomfort and fatigue for the last 4 years. She was diagnosed with an atrial septal defect four years back but could not receive appropriate treatment due to financial constraints. For the last 15 days, she had breathlessness even at rest and paroxysmal episodes that interrupted her sleep. Icterus and pedal edema was also present. As we evaluated the patient, her clinical examination could not be entirely explained by ASD alone. Soon, our suspicion of LS was confirmed by TTE and the diagnosis of Lutembacher Syndrome with Severe Tricuspid Regurgitation with Moderate PAH was made. As the patient presented to us with atrial fibrillation & heart failure, she was admitted for optimization. The patient was then successfully managed by MVR [#27 SJM, metallic] with pericardial patch closure of ASD with Devaga’s Tricuspid Valve annuloplasty and discharged on a postop day 11.
Conclusions: Early diagnosis and surgical treatment bear a good prognosis and prolong survival. If a patient is diagnosed late, pulmonary hypertension and heart failure set in and the outcome becomes poor. The higher cost of surgical intervention and low socio-economic distribution of the disease in developing countries like India should not challenge the patient’s right to receive the standard treatment.

Published: December 2022

Objectives: Distal lower leg wounds, regardless of cause, and acute trauma wounds, regardless of site, are difficult. Reconstruction of both situations are much more challenging. Interpolation sural flap is a good alternative for this type of reconstruction.
Methods: Fourteen interpolation sural flap were harvested to reconstruct for distal leg region wounds due to acute trauma. Ten male and four female patients aged from 10 to 59 years old were included this study.
Results: All flaps survived. No venous congestion and total flap necrosis was seen. There were 4 complications, and all of them were corrected with short interventions. After second stage, no complication was seen.
Conclusions: Interpolation sural flap modification has many advantages including reliability, no venous congestion, immediate reconstruction without a surgical team. However, it is a two-staged reconstruction and its donor site scarring can be serious.

Authors: Lal Kanhaiya , Kumar Sarvendra , Shrivastav Shiv Prakash , Singh Vishal , Kuswaha Chandramani
Published: December 2022

Background: Grain yield in maize and most of the crops is a complex character so knowledge of character association and direct and indirect effect of different characters on yield is crucial for making efficient selection strategy to develop the inbred and/or hybrids having desirable combination of the characters. Methods: The experiment was conducted using 77 genotypes in randomized block design at Student Instructional Farm CS Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur (UP) India. Data on 17 different characters were collected and analysized by standard procedure to identify the characters having significant desirable relationship and direct or indirect effects on grain yield. Result: The genotypes that were studied showed highly significant variability for all the characters, indicating the great opportunity of selection. Greater genotypic correlation coefficients than phenotypic correlation coefficients for most of the characters showed true relationship. So the selection of elite genotypes on the basis of such characters would be fruitful. Cob weight, kernels per row, kernels per cob and shelling percentage showed highly significant positive relationship with grain yield per plant. Seed vigour index, cobs per plant, cob weight and kernels per row have had high direct positive impact on grain yield per plant at both genotypic and phenotypic level. Therefore, the above mentioned characters may be utilized for making efficient selection strategy to select the elite genotypes.

The ontology of resistance between power and knowledge: A philosophical approach
Authors: Al Sheikh Hanan Muneer
Published: December 2022

The ontology of human resistance accentuates its existence through several expressive means with the most important being art, as art transforms the question of resistance into a self-practice that starts with the artists and transfers between the inside and the outside in a continuous, creative, effective mutual relationship, in order to emphasise the battle of existence conflict, ideology and epistemology within the general framework of power. This philosophic analysis is based on the hypotheses of having a multilateral factor that continues with the past legacy on one hand and interprets the present while overpassing it on the other. This is to create a state of creativity that represents the intellectual, emotional, cognitive and historical inventory while posing a situation of continuous wondering among individuals and groups. This artistic state unifies the indicators of symbolisations and makes resistance represented in a contemporary visual discourse that rejects dominance. It also accentuates the identity and transforms the theoretical intellectual question into a practised anthological act that is featured of permanent activity as a perpetual act towards liberation and reproducing self-existence.

Published: December 2022

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) as a pathology 25 % of the world's adult population is progressively growing every year, which is a global health problem, as it is often associated with obesity, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiac vascular diseases. Currently, in the absence of approved drug therapy, the most appropriate strategy for the management of NAFLD patients with gradual weight loss by reducing the total amount of calories is quite diverse due to the individual characteristics of each case, as well as associated pathology [1]. Obviously, the optimal balance of diet and physical activity for weight loss should be considered as the most logical approach to lifestyle changes in terms of health, but this is not always possible, therefore, the primary emphasis in such cases should be on the individualization of the dietary strategy. The aim of our review is to compare the most current clinical guidelines and approaches to dietary therapy for NAFLD.

Authors: Gndoyan Irina A. , Petrayevsky Alexey V. , Dyatchina Alyona I.
Published: December 2022

The purpose: to determine the place of progressive spectacles correction in an integrated approach for the treatment of early stages of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in hyperopic patients. Material and methods: 30 patients (60 eyes) aged 42-75 y.o., average age (58,8 ± 6,5) years, with early stages of AMD and hyperopia were under observation. The observation group was represented by 20 patients (40 eyes). After AMD revealing they applied progressive spectacles correction of «universal» type and received orally dietary supplement Retinorm® 3 capsules one time per day. The comparison group consisted of 10 patients (20 eyes). They received the same oral dietary supplement and used the previous monofocal correction. Methods of examination of patients included: checking of visual acuity with correction, refractometry, tonometry, computer static perimetry, ophthalmobiomicroscopy with Goldmann lens, optical coherence tomography of the central fundus area with measurement of retinal thickness in the fovea zone and choroid in manual mode. The duration of observation in both groups was 4 months. Results. The thickness of the retina in the fovea zone after the use of correction and prescribed treatment did not change either in the observation group (p > 0,1) or in the comparison group (p > 0,1). The thickness of the choroid after the prescribed therapeutic measures significantly increased in the observation group (p < 0,05) and remained without changes in the comparison group (p > 0,1). An increase of visual acuity was established, as well as a decrease in the number of relative scotomas in the central part of the visual field both in the observation group (p < 0,02) and in the comparison group (p < 0,05). Conclusion. The use of «universal» type of progressive spectacles correction in combination with taking dietary supplement Retinorm® increases the effectiveness of treatment of early stages of AMD in hyperopic patients due to both the activation of choroidal blood circulation, and the improvement of metabolic processes in the choroid and retina.

Published: December 2022

Several studies regarding the mortality predictor model in burn patients have been carried out in several cities and countries. However, none have ever happened in Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the R-Baux Score and Abbreviated Burn Severity Index (ABSI) Score as a mortality predictor model in burn patients, which are relevant and useable in services at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital. This study used quantitative research with a cross-sectional design and retrospective design utilizing secondary data. It was found that 263 patients met the inclusion criteria; with 73 patients died, 60.27% of whom were male, 50% with inhalation trauma, 19.18% were in the age range of 56-65 years old, 24.66% had a burn area of 61-70%, and 35.62% with a full-thickness burn. The results showed that the sensitivity value from the ABSI Score (p<0.001) was 82.19%, with a specificity of 82.11%, a positive predictive value of 63.83%, and a negative predictive value of 92.31%. The R-Baux Score (p <0.001) showed that the sensitivity value obtained was 80.82%, with a specificity of 80.00%, a positive predictive value of 60.83%, and a negative predictive value of 91.57%. There was no significant difference between the R-Baux Score and the ABSI Score as the predictor of mortality in burn (p>0.05). Therefore, both the R-Baux Score and the ABSI Score can be used as model predictors of death in burn patients at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital.
Capelania hospitalar nos cuidados paliativos com pacientes oncológicos
Authors: Herbes Nilton Eliseu , Peres Sanchez Clarissa
Published: December 2022

Neste artigo, procuramos explorar as relações entre três temas de grande importância na realidade de instituições de cuidado à saúde: capelania hospitalar, pacientes oncológicos e cuidados paliativos. Pacientes com câncer tem sido uma realidade constante e cada vez mais presentes em instituições hospitalares, trazendo sempre novas discussões e procurando formas de cuidado, como no caso dos cuidados paliativos, atualmente reconhecidos em nossa realidade, e a presença da espiritualidade, como importante fator no processo de cuidado, integrado no acompanhamento de pacientes no final da vida. Descrevendo a parte histórica e de desenvolvimento da questão do cuidado de pessoas, chegamos à contemporaneidade, mostrando a realidade de pacientes oncológicos em cuidados paliativos. Assim, juntamos uma nova área, que ainda é pouco valorizada, no cuidado diante da realidade da morte, a capelania hospitalar. Destacamos a importância da integração do cuidado espiritual no contexto hospitalar, mas principalmente, neste momento, no cuidado a pessoas enfermas em cuidados paliativos.
Crise climática e animismo: um modo de coexistir e resistir
Authors: Gonçalves Alonso S.
Published: December 2022

O debate em torno do clima não pode ficar circunscrito apenas aos políticos como também aos cientistas, ainda que estes últimos tenham dado importante contribuição para entendermos o processo em que todos estamos em relação a crise climática. Por isso está havendo uma sensibilidade quanto a outras maneiras de pensar a vida como um modo de resistir a captura do capitalismo, identificado como a principal causa do atual quadro do planeta. É dentro dessa perspectiva, que pontuamos a cosmo-convivência dos povos originários na representação que Ailton Krenak faz a partir das suas palavras transformadas em textos. Com o seu engajamento político e intelectual a favor dos povos originários e da floresta, Krenak contribui para (re)pensar as relações humanas com a natureza.

On Soft Lebesgue Measure
Authors: Goldar Sujay , Ray Subhasis
Published: December 2022

In this article, we introduce the concept of soft intervals, soft ordering and sequences of soft real numbers, and some of their structural properties are studied. The notion of soft Lebesgue measure on the soft real numbers has been introduced. Also, a correspondence relationship has been established between the soft Lebesgue measure and the classical Lebesgue measure. Furthermore, we have studied some exciting results and relations between the soft Lebesgue measure and the Lebesgue measure of soft real sets.
The Dirac Fermion of a Monopole Pair (MP) Model
Authors: Yuguru Samuel
Published: December 2022

The electron of magnetic spin −1/2 is a Dirac fermion of a complex four-component spinor field. Though it is effectively addressed by relativistic quantum field theory, an intuitive form of the fermion still remains lacking. In this novel undertaking, the fermion is examined within the boundary posed by a recently proposed MP model of a hydrogen atom into 4D space-time. Such unorthodox process conceptually transforms the electron to the four-component spinor of non-abelian in both Euclidean and Minkowski space-times. Supplemented by several postulates, the relativistic and non-relativistic applications of the model are explored from an alternative perspective. The outcomes have important implications towards defining the spin-orbit coupling of particles from external light interactions. These findings, if considered could consolidate properly the fundamentals of the quantum state of matter from an alternative perspective using quantum field theory application and they warrant further investigations.
Remote Sensing of the Subtropical Front in the Southeast Pacific and the Ecology of Chilean Jack Mackerel Trachurus murphyi
Authors: Belkin Igor M , Shen Xin-Tang
Published: December 2022

The Subtropical Front (STF) plays a key role in the ecology of Chilean jack mackerel Trachurus murphyi. Nonetheless, there are few remote sensing studies of the STF in the open Southeast Pacific Ocean, and almost all of them have been conducted by satellite oceanographers in Russia and Ukraine to support respective large-scale fisheries of jack mackerel in this region. We reviewed these studies that documented long-term seasonal and interannual variability of the STF from sea surface temperature (SST) and sea surface height (SSH) data. We also mapped the STF from satellite sea surface salinity (SSS) data of the SMOS mission (2012-2019). The Subtropical Front consists of two fronts -- North and South STF about 500 km apart -- that border the Subtropical Frontal Zone (STFZ) in-between. The STF is density-compensated, with spatially divergent manifestations in temperature and salinity. In the temperature field, the STF extends in the WNW to ESE direction in the Southeast Pacific. In the salinity field, the STFZ appears as a broad frontal zone, extending zonally between 30-35°S across the entire South Pacific. Three major types of satellite data – SST, SSH, and SSS – can be used to locate the STF. The SSH data is most advantageous with regard to the jack mackerel fisheries owing to the all-weather capability of satellite altimetry and the radical improvement of the spatial resolution of SSH data in the near future. Despite the dearth of dedicated in situ studies of the South Pacific STFZ, there is a broad consensus regarding the STFZ being the principal spawning and nursing ground of T. murphyi as well as a major migration corridor between Chile and New Zealand.
Analytical Investigation of Effects of Secondary Structural Members on the Structural Behaviors of Transmission Towers

Published: December 2022

A high-voltage transmission tower consists of structures to avoid the risk of electric shock and to prevent the risk of collapse. Hence, towers are generally designed to be high-rise for efficiency. The main posts of the tower are primary structural members that resist loads under various load conditions. Therefore, the contribution of the secondary member to securing the stiffness and strength of the main posts by reducing the effective buckling length is important. However, there are no detailed design criteria for secondary members. In this study, the structural effects of horizontal members and braces on the torsional stiffness, elastic buckling strength, and load-carrying capacity of transmission towers were observed through various structural analysis methods including linear-elastic, eigenvalue, and geometric nonlinear and inelastic analyses under governing load combinations. According to the analytical study, rather than the horizontal members, the brace spacing significantly affects the structural performance. Therefore, the number of horizontal members can be minimized if sufficient brace members are erected. If the brace spacing is wide, it is recommended that the horizontal members be erected to create K bracing, and the buckling resistance of the main posts can be thus enhanced.
