Authors: Beatriz Almeida Castro de Souza  , Bruno Caetano dos Santos Silva  , Paulo Henrique Guilherme Reis  , Lucas de Figueiredo Soares  , Edna dos Santos Almeida  , Rodrigo Santiago Coelho
Published: December 2024

In the context of the Product Development Process (PDP), particularly during the development phase, there is growing recognition of the importance of waste management in producing components used in the industry. This increased awareness has led to a progressive interest in formulating approaches to understand and mitigate the possible resulting environmental impacts. Within this context, considering the substantial increase in the application of Additive Manufacturing techniques in the oil and gas industry, especially the deposition of polymeric layers, notably through the use of PA 12 and PP powder, it becomes imperative to thoroughly examine the production process in order to assess the feasibility of reincorporating discarded materials into the production chain of polymeric materials. In this context, this article proposes a detailed analysis of the manufacturing flow of a Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) Additive Manufacturing machine to assess the percentage of waste generated in small-scale prints by quantifying the mass of waste generated in the process, as well as pointing out alternatives for disposing of this waste. When the parts are produced, PA12 and PP powder waste is generated; in this deposition process, the powder is reused, returning to its production process. However, after the part has been made, it needs to be blasted with glass microspheres to remove all the powder residue that is trapped in the part. The waste generated during blasting is a mixture of PA12, PP, and glass microspheres, which, if not disposed of in an environmentally appropriate way, can have an environmental impact. Over 9 days, the results revealed an average of 12.15% waste from the component blasting process. It is suggested that this waste be used to manufacture filaments by extrusion and in additive manufacturing machines to deposit molten material. This material can produce other components for the oil and gas industry using FDM printers. It should be noted that bibliographical references identify viable techniques for reintegrating discarded materials into other manufacturing processes. Reducing PA12 and PP waste in additive manufacturing contributes to economic efficiency. It aligns with environmental and social goals, promoting sustainable practices and supporting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals in the oil and gas sector.

Pioneering Ideas on Fuzzy Logic in al-Miyānajī's Philosophy
Authors: Koç Mehmet Emin
Published: December 2024

It is possible to say that human thinking and logic began with his existence. Although Aristotle, who shaped the world of thought of humanity for two thousand years, is regarded as the father of logic, logic and correct thinking existed before and after him. In this process, Islamic philosophers such as al-Fārābī and Ibn Sina made important contributions. Al-Ghazālī, on the other hand, made Aristotle's logic digested by Islamic schools of thought. Over time, there were philosophers who challenged classical logic and introduced different methods of logic that would surpass it. Among these philosophers, one of the pinnacle figures who had a serious influence on the following periods is ‘Ayn al-Qudāt al-Hamadānī al-Miyānajī. al-Miyānajī influenced the following periods both with his views on the philosophy of existence and with his unique logical propositions and principles of thinking that have survived to this day. It can be said that al-Miānajī is the first precursor of the quantum system, the theory of relativity and fuzzy logic. Addressing his views in the context of understanding the background of the era of Informatics and Artificial Intelligence will make a different contribution to our world of philosophy, logic and thought.

В работе проведены экспериментальные исследования электрического сопротивления и событий акусти-
ческой эмиссии в слоистом углепластике с косоперекрёстной укладкой волокон при циклическом растя-
жении с возрастающей амплитудой. Программа нагружения состояла из ряда блоков по два одинаковых
цикла нагружения/разгрузки с возрастанием напряжений между блоками вплоть до разрушения. Рассмо-
трены образцы углепластика из однонаправленных препрегов со структурами укладки [0°], [±15°],[±30°] и [±45°]. Показано, что акустические события развиваются в первом полуцикле каждого блока, тогда как во втором цикле блока их интенсивность резко падает, при этом имеют место акустические события на этапах разгрузки. Выявлено, что изменение электросопротивления образцов при увеличении напряжений имеет волнообразный характер: повышение сопротивления, снижение и повышение незадолго до разрушения.

The work carried out experimental studies of an electrical resistance and acoustic emission events in layered CFRP with angle-ply stacking under cyclic tension with increasing amplitude. The loading program consisted of a number of blocks of two identical loading/unloading cycles with increasing stresses between the blocks until
failure. Samples of CFRP made from UD prepregs with layups [0°], [±15°], [±30°] and [±45°] are considered. It is shown that acoustic events develop in the first half-cycle of each block, while in the second cycle of the block their intensity drops sharply, with acoustic events occurring at the unloading stages. It was revealed that the change in electrical resistance of samples with increasing stress has a wave-like character: an increase in resistance, a decrease, and an increase shortly before failure.

Published: December 2024

The management of emergency groin hernias is difficult due to the absence of any consensus and the surgical management is tailored by the treating surgeon. Emergency groin hernias include incarcerated and strangulated inguinal and femoral hernias and they carry a high morbidity and mortality. The treatment of emergency groin hernias is usually performed with sutured repairs like Shouldice, Bassini, Darning and the Desarda technique. Hernia repairs with mesh can also be safely performed if there is no or minimal contamination of the wound. The laparoscopic repairs like the Transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) and Total Extraperitoneal (TEP) can be performed but require training and equipment and is not recommended for the management of emergency groin hernia. In this review we will look at the management of emergency groin hernias.

The present study seeks to evaluate the significance of Iraq's deficit, fiscal policies, and economic development, along with the impact of the fiscal deficit on economic growth as indicated by Iraq's GDP index from 2004 to 2021. Time chains have been employed to elucidate the connection between the examined variables. An assessment utilizing the ARDL model has determined that a long-term equilibrium exists between the fiscal deficit and economic growth in Iraq, indicating that the fiscal deficit influences Iraq's economic growth. The findings indicate an inverse link between the examined variables throughout the research period, suggesting that the fiscal deficit adversely affects economic growth in Iraq.

Purpose: Widespread concerns have led to calls by industry practitioners and the academic community on the need to involve QS in construction projects. This study therefore explores the measures for enhancing QS involvement in construction projects in Nigeria. The paper also provides insight on issues and sustainable benefits of QS involvement in construction projects. Design/Methodology/Approach: The mixed-method (quantitative and qualitative) research was applied to the study. 70 questionnaires and 15 interviews from QS practicing in Nigeria formed the basis for the data. Mean item score and thematic analysis were used to analyze the data. Findings: The study reveals poor marketing of the profession, political connections, lack of public awareness on QS roles, Government policies, corrupt practices by parties’ involved and conservative attitude as major issues hindering QS involvement. The study also deduces that socio-economically and financially, QS involvement can result in cost control and management, minimization of financial risk, dispute settlement, economic growth and, transparency/accountability. Environmentally, QS involvement can boost material waste management, use of sustainable materials, mitigate environmental risk, and encourage a circular economy in Nigeria. Therefore, the author finds and recommends that government policy regulating QS involvement, professional training for QS proficiency, and research and technological innovations are measures needed to enhance QS involvement in construction projects across Nigeria. Originality: The paper provides industry and policy guidelines towards the enforcement of QS involvement by the Nigerian Government. The sustainable benefits of QS involvement proffered in this study will contribute to re-positioning the profession in Nigeria.

The implications of ghost stories are deeply embedded in the thoughts of the Banyang people. The epistemology of ngu’h-menem (ghost or die comot) in Banyang Country is passed down to youths as a living culture, narrated by parents and grandparents around the three-stone fireside. This oral tradition begins when someone dies, with rituals performed before burial to either prevent or encourage the appearance of ghost spirits. Ghosts are believed to possess continued influence over the living, playing crucial roles in governance, conflict resolution, and maintaining order within families and the community. This paper examines the implications of ghosts in Banyang Country, an ethnic group in the Southwest Region of Cameroon, arguing that ghost manifestations are not mythical phenomena from an anthropological perspective. Data were collected from primary and secondary sources and analyzed using descriptive methods. The findings reveal that ghost phenomena are integral to the spiritual beliefs and socio-political system of the Banyang people, highlighting the intersection of spirituality and politics in African traditional societies and the complexities of ritual power on social organization.

Endovascular repair (EVAR) and open surgical repair (OSR) are the primary approaches for treating abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Both techniques present unique risks and benefits across short-, medium-, and long-term outcomes. EVAR, being less invasive, is associated with lower perioperative mortality and morbidity rates but carries an increased risk of secondary rupture and reinterventions. Conversely, OSR, although more invasive, demonstrates lower rates of late complications and reinterventions. This study aims to comprehensively analyze and compare the perioperative complications and long-term survival outcomes of these two interventions. To analyze perioperative complications and long-term survival rates associated with endovascular repair and open surgical repair in the management of abdominal aortic aneurysms. A systematic review was conducted using the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), National Library of Medicine (PubMed), and MEDLINE databases. Predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, and relevant articles were identified using the keywords “Endovascular repair,” “Open surgery repair,” “Abdominal aortic aneurysm,” and “Complications,” combined with the Boolean operator “AND.” Comparative analysis of EVAR and OSR reveals that EVAR offers lower perioperative mortality and faster recovery but is associated with a higher risk of long-term complications and reinterventions. On the other hand, OSR, despite its invasive nature and higher short-term mortality, is linked to fewer late complications and reinterventions. Both approaches exhibit similar mortality rates over the long term. Therefore, the choice of treatment should be individualized based on the patient’s clinical profile and preferences. EVAR and OSR are equally effective in managing AAA, with differences primarily in perioperative and long-term outcomes. EVAR minimizes perioperative risks but requires ongoing monitoring for late complications, while OSR, though more invasive, offers greater long-term stability with fewer late reinterventions. The choice between these methods should prioritize patient-specific factors and preferences.
