The design of a reactor for synthesis of nanostructured fibers from associated petroleum gas
Authors: Khlopotova Ekaterina A. , Kislitsin Anatoliy A.
Published: December 2024

This article shows the relevance of designing a mobile-but-new reactor for the utilization of associated petroleum gas, as associated petroleum gas flaring causes irrepa­rable environmental damage. Yet for the processing of associated gas extracted from small fields to be economically profitable, the resulting products must have a large added value. Such products can be nanomaterials, such as carbon nanofiber. Based on the review of published reactor designs, the satisfaction criteria are formulated. The results show no reactors satisfying all the necessary conditions, so the option closest to solving the problem was chosen. A suitable system of equations for the chemical kinetics of the processing associated petroleum gas into nanostructured fiber has been formulated. Further work has been outlined, which includes a) the study on the possibilities of increasing the yield of target products by optimizing the selection of thermodynamic properties; b) the development of a mathematical model of the reactor which considers mass and heat transfer, as well as changing the composition of the starting material; c) determining the optimal conditions of the carbon nanofiber synthesis process and developing practical recommendations for achieving and maintaining these conditions.
Numerical study of the mechanical stability of the flow under the conditions of natural convection
Authors: Tomchik Pavel I. , Zubkov Pavel T. , Kislitsin Anatoliy A.
Published: December 2024

Studying the stability of natural convection remains relevant in many areas of modern science: astrophysics, meteorology, thermal physics, nuclear power engineering, and machine learning, among others. One of such research areas is numerical modeling of convection during the changes in the flow regime of a liquid or gas. The article presents a detailed modeling of single- and double-vortex flow regimes of an incompressible fluid in a square region divided by a computational grid with an even and odd number of nodes. Transitions between these flow regimes are modeled when a disturbance is introduced into certain grid nodes. At start, the fluid is at rest; over time, during the heat transfer from the hot side of the square region, natural convection of the fluid begins, which forms under of one or more vortices of a laminar flow under certain conditions. The study has shown that as for the mechanical stability, the effect of the transition from a double-vortex to a single-vortex flow was observed when a disturbance source in the form of a multiple increase in temperature was introduced at the start. The authors have used a mathematical model of natural convection in the Boussinesq approximation; the calculations were performed until a steady-state flow regime was reached. The modeling results obtained for computational grids 20 × 20 and 21 × 21 control volumes are presented on graphs as pressure and temperature fields, velocity projections on coordinate axes, and streamline images.

Chikungunya Fever: A New Concern For the Western Hemisphere
Authors: Calder Jennifer Ann Marie , Calder Donovan Norton
Published: December 2024

Chikungunya virus has spread from Tanzania and has caused autochthonous transmission throughout Africa
and Asia, and most recently in Europe, and the Americas. Transmission into new geographical areas has been facilitated
by many factors including international travel, genetic adaptation of the virus to the vectors, and a breakdown of vector
control measures. The economic impact on affected countries may be severe as a result of the immediate effect on the
healthcare services and loss of man-hours as well as the potential effect on tourism. Effective control will require early
diagnosis and isolation of viremic persons as well as enhanced environmental measures. To stop transmission in the
region will require a regional effort that involves public education and an interdisciplinary One Health approach.
Angela Merkel’s Views On 2015 Open Door Policy and Its Implications with The Future of der Panzer Deutschland
Authors:   Universitas Brawijaya, Qalbi Faathimah Azzahra A.
Published: December 2024

Germany, the head of the European Union, enacted measures that were notably different from those of other members when Europe was beset by the immigration crisis in 2015. Germany freely opened its borders with the Open Door Policy, which was overseen by Angela Merkel, to allow migrants to enter its land. Unfortunately, this strategy was met with several objections and rejections from different groups. Public figures, opposition parties, Merkel's own party, interest groups, and the European Union as a regional governing body for Germany were among them. This policy wasn't decided upon democratically, nor did it involve the involvement of the Bundestag (level I parliament). Merkel steadfastly defended and implemented her divisive strategy in the face of numerous criticisms. This viewpoint shows the distinct perspective or impression that Merkel had when she created the Open Door Policy in response to the immigration crisis. This essay will explain how Angela Merkel's vision of the world may have influenced her decision to protect migrants while encountering various types of opposition. The belief and image systems influenced Angela Merkel's perception that Germany should be the primary actor in responding to the refugee crisis that occurred in the European Union region and around the world, it was discovered using Ole R. Holsti's framework for the relationship between perception and decision-making. This article also looking forward on how Germany could face the immigration problems in the future.

DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION OF STEER-BY-WIRE (SBW) WITH LINEAR SENSORS TO A SMALL ELECTRIC VEHICLE
Authors: Ismail Hasan , Kusuma Fuad Indra , Harly Moch , Nasir Mohd Zakaria B Mohammad
Published: December 2024

A steer-by-wire (SBW) system with linear sensors has been developed and implemented on a small electric vehicle (EV). This system comprises a steering wheel, an angle and torque sensor, a wheel angle feedback sensor, an electric motor actuator, linkages, and a controller. It is specifically designed to electrically control the wheel angles without utilizing a conventional steering gearbox. The electric actuator motor is mounted on the steering mechanism and directly connected to the left and right wheel knuckles via linkages. Two linear sensors are employed: one located on the steering wheel to generate steering wheel angle signal , and the other installed on the wheel knuckle mechanism to produce front wheel angle feedback signal . When the driver rotates the steering wheel, the controller calculates the pitch error based on inputs from the two linear sensors and subsequently adjusts the wheel angles by powering the electric motor actuator. Experimental testing revealed a response time of 0.3 seconds, with the pitch error maintained within an angle of less than 3° during straight-motion tests. During cornering motion tests, the measured backlash was approximately 0.06 rad, demonstrating the system's responsive performance. This SBW technology with linear sensors is anticipated to reduce system complexity while enhancing precision, accuracy, and response speed of wheel angle adjustments to steering inputs, effectively meeting driving requirements.
Derap Lars Penopang Produksi PG Gondang Baru Pasca Nasionalisasi, 1957-1967
Authors: Hadi Putro Wasista
Published: December 2024

This article discusses the Gondang Baru Sugar Factory company after it was nationalized at the end of 1957, particularly the militarization that participated and became a determining factor in the company's operations a decade later. The subject matter will discuss the various managerial measurements taken after the company was nationalized, especially when the security department was headed by an ex-military named Darmoatmodjo. In order to assist in finding sources and interpreting data, both quantitative and qualitative, the business history method is used in this research. As a result, it is understandable that militarism in PG Gondang Baru occurs subtly in reference to its basic capabilities as a security service. However, the combination of the military as a security service with the various ranks of Klaten's Pamong Praja has managed to raise productivity figures measured by both the area of concession land and the percentage of theft throughout the decade of PG Gondang Baru's management after nationalization.Keywords: Militarization, PG Gondang Baru, Nationalization.

Published: December 2024

Background: Heart failure (HF) is characterized by cardiac dysfunction, fluid retention, and subsequent exercise intolerance, significantly impacting patients’ quality of life. Nutrition plays a pivotal role in managing HF, as dietary modifications can alleviate symptoms and improve clinical outcomes. Foods are categorized based on their nutritional density, which is critical for optimizing health in HF patients. Nurses play a key role in healthcare by providing education, empowering patients to make informed decisions, and enhancing healthcare efficiency through structured interventions. Methods: From (August 2 to February 8, 2024), 200 patients with HF were treated in the Sulaimani Cardiac Hospital in Sulaimani City using a quasi-experimental technique. The participants were divided into two groups: Intervention (100) and control (100). They completed a detailed questionnaire that included demographics, medical data, and a variety of examinations. The interventional group had exclusive access to the nutrition education program. Data were collected through direct interviews and processed with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, version (26). Results: The average age of the respondents was (68.3 ± 11.2) years. At first, both groups comprised (100) patients, however, the intervention group dropped to (94) and the control group to (90) owing to fatalities. The nutrition education program resulted in significant differences between the groups in high-density lipoprotein and cholesterol levels, blood electrolytes, waist-hip ratios, and hospitalization rates. Conclusions and recommendations: The intervention group showed greater improvements in nutritional status than the control group. A 12-week educational program improved eating habits, reduced hypertension, diabetes, cholesterol levels, and body weight, and increased awareness of healthier food alternatives. This demonstrates that such programs can enhance quality of life, and dietary habits, and perhaps reduce death rates in the intervention group compared to the control group.

The Destructive Impact of Racism on African Americans in Richard Wright's Native Son
Authors: Al-Nuaimi Mustafa Mohammed Rashid , Benny Dr. Solomon
Published: December 2024

Richard Wright’s Native Son is a powerful indictment of the systemic racism that ravages countless lives in America. The novel explores not just the rampant racism of the time but also the complicated and psychologically damaging web that it weaves when coupled with the equally oppressive, and sometimes corrosive, forces of social class and gender. The continuous oppression and systemic discrimination against African Americans create a psychological toll that few can endure, as well as a constant state of survival that many abandon hope of ever escaping. Wright's protagonist, Bigger Thomas, illustrates the explosion that such a life can trigger in some individuals. Although the novel centers on Thomas, Wright's story is not just about one man. It tells the story of many black men and women who have suffered the same extreme effects of racism. The paper examines the destructive impact of racism on African Americans in terms of four primary themes: identity, violence, systemic oppression, and the interplay of race and gender.
Beyond the Elite Gaze: A Comparative Study to Unveil the Subaltern Voices Through Gurdial Singh’s The Last Flicker and Rohinton Mistry’s A Fine Balance
Authors: Kaur Randeep , Arora Mahesh
Published: December 2024

In every society, there are some segments of people who are wealthy and have supreme authority over the means of production. They tend to exploit those with limited or no access to socio-economic opportunities. In postcolonial terms, these people are referred to as subalterns who are systematically excluded from a society’s established structures. It also speaks about those people who are discriminated against based on race, gender, caste, status, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or religious affiliations. Literature plays a pivotal role in subaltern lives by providing them assistance through which they can express themselves freely. The present study tries to explore the voices of subaltern subjects by bringing on surface the oppression, violence, and suppression through Gurdial Singh’s The Last Flicker (1964) and Rohinton Mistry’s A Fine Balance (1995). Though these writers come from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and ethnicities, their works depict the mutual concept of the inhuman treatment of the subaltern subjects. Their protagonists are unconventional and rebellious. They make their own identity even though consistently suppressed by dominant ideologies. The author’s concern for the downtrodden and subaltern characters is visible through their writings. Both authors explore themes of marginalization, socio-political issues, and the impact of power structures on subaltern groups.

SAR Image Colorization with a Deep Learning Model for All-Inclusion Understanding (H)
Authors: JayaLakshmi M.
Published: December 2024

The procedure for enhancing halftone photographs with color to create eye-catching pigmented pictures is known as
image colorization. This involves the application of colors in line with the intended purpose of the image. However, traditional
methods of colorization available today often include the need for end user’s intervention in the form providing color points and
doodle drawings, as well as use of color images for reference in which case colors are transferred to the target image or using
multiple color images to predict what the colored result would look like; however, the majority of colorizes developed tend to
produce colorized images that are not realistic in most instances due to unskilled users who attempt to apply the devices, wrong
color transfer or limited color image library. In this paper, to overcome these weaknesses, a new method that consists of two
modules is proposed to colorize certain regions of an image by fusing semantic segmentation and seamless region filling. In the
first module, input image foreground and background regions masks and categories are extracted each extracted region's
reference image is taken from a per-sorted color image database using a Mask R-CNN model. Using colorization approaches
based on the VGG and U-Net models, respectively, the second module entails coloring the image's backdrop and other areas.
Afterward, the final, fully colored image is created by combining the photographs using the poission editing process. The tests
show that our method enables not only the proper reference image selection based on the semantic information of various image
components, but also incorporation of the colored results to create a believable colored image. Proposing to use different CNNbased models in a combination where each is used according to its own strength, In contrast to other methods now in use, our
scheme gives a deeper creative visual impression while avoiding the disadvantage of single-step techniques' failure frequency.

Investigation of Electromagnetic Wave Propagation in Nanocones
Authors: BASMACI Ayşe Nihan , FİLİZ Seckin
Published: December 2024

The aim of this thorough study is to investigate the behaviour of electromagnetic wave propagation in three distinct nanostructures, each with unique shapes and material compositions. The first nanostructure under scrutiny is a butterfly-shaped nanocone formed by placing two nanostructures side by side. It consists of two nanocons. The second nanostructure is a deltoid-shaped nanocone created in a similar manner, composed of two different nanocones. The third nanostructure is a parallelogram-shaped nanocone constructed by stacking nanocones on each other and made of two different nanocones. These nanostructures differ in shape and material property parameters, each comprising two different materials with specific permeability and permittivity values. To conduct a detailed analysis, the study utilises the nonlocal theory to examine the electromagnetic wave propagation behaviour in these nanostructures. The focus of the analysis is on the travel and reflection of electromagnetic waves at three specific points along the same axis in each structure, allowing for a comprehensive comparison of their behaviours. This in-depth investigation holds significant importance as it seeks to understand the penetration and subsequent propagation of incident electromagnetic waves within nanostructures of varying shapes and material compositions, shedding light on their potential applications in advanced technology and optic science.
A Hybrid Deep Learning Approach for Efficient Cross-Language Detection
Authors: Ponugoti Kalpana  , Shaik Abdul Nabi  , Panjagari Kavitha  , K. Naresh  , Maddala Vijayalakshmi  , P. Vinayasree
Published: December 2024

Cross-language detection is a challenging task that involves identifying the language of a given text across multiple languages, often in noisy or mixed-language environments. This also identify and classify text across different languages for various applications, such as multilingual sentiment analysis, language translation and cross-border content moderations. Traditional approaches often rely on rule-based systems or monolingual models, which lack scalability and adaptability to diverse linguistic structures. In this study, we propose a hybrid deep learning model combining Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) networks to enhance language detection accuracy and robustness. LSTM and GRU, known for their ability to capture long-term dependencies and reduce vanishing gradient problems, are integrated to leverage their complementary strengths. The model is evaluated using BLEU scores, a widely accepted metric for evaluating linguistic quality, and perplexity, which measures the model's ability to predict a sequence of words. Our experimental results demonstrate that the hybrid deep learning model outperforms traditional approaches, achieving high BLEU scores and low perplexity across diverse multilingual datasets. This approach not only improves language detection accuracy but also reduces computational complexity, making it suitable for real-time applications in multilingual text processing. The proposed model shows promise in real-world applications, enabling efficient cross-language detection in multilingual environments.
CRAFTING STABILITY IN SICHUAN: MIGRATION STRATEGIES AND REGIONAL GOVERNANCE UNDER HONGWU (1368-1398) AND KANGXI (1661-1722)

This study explores the divergent migration policies of the Ming and Qing dynasties in Sichuan, a region grappling with severe population decline and land barrenness during the late Yuan and early Ming periods, as well as the late Ming and early Qing eras. The study compares the contrasting approaches of the Ming Dynasty under Hongwu and the Qing Dynasty under Kangxi, focusing on their strategies for managing population relocation and land reclamation. Under Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty adopted a strict and punitive approach to migration. The “Zhongdian Zhiguo” (strict governance) and the “Weisuo Zhidu” (guardhouse system) were implemented to relocate criminals and military personnel to Sichuan. These measures aimed to enforce order and control, reflecting Hongwu’s broader strategy of maintaining authority through coercion and rigorous oversight. In contrast, the Qing Dynasty under Kangxi favoured a more supportive and incentivising approach. The 1690 “Regulations on Naturalisation in Sichuan” offered land reclamation incentives to homeless individuals, promoting voluntary migration and integration. This policy sought to stabilise and develop Sichuan by encouraging settlement and land cultivation through positive reinforcement rather than punitive measures. The research provides a comparative analysis of these strategies, illustrating how the Ming Dynasty’s focus under Hongwu on control and punishment differed from the Qing Dynasty’s emphasis under Kangxi on support and incentives. This examination reveals the impact of differing governance ideologies on regional development and offers insights into the evolution of migration policies and their effects on Sichuan’s long-term stability and growth.

The introduction of rubber, a new commercial crop in Kedah, at the tail end of the Siamese protectorate era diversified Malay agricultural activity in the state. Malay interest in the crop grew during British rule, specifically in 1915 in line with the development of rubber planting in the first years following changes in Kedah land administration. However, the liberal colonial attitude was temporary, and they began to implement a more stringent policy regarding rubber land. This study aims to answer two main questions: what was the rubber land policy implemented in Kedah in the period 1915-1932, and what was the form of Malay reaction to this policy imposed upon them during the period in question. This study uses the qualitative method by focusing on Kedah Annual Reports and State Secretary Files to obtain the necessary data. The results of the study prove the Malays in Kedah, especially the lower classes, were successfully impeded from cultivating rubber freely through enforcement of land laws and land administrative practices.

Se realizo una evaluación de uso de suelo una de las fincas cultivadas aguas abajo del embalse del Río Pirrís, con el fin de evaluar el aportar por arrastre de cargas contaminantes al cauce del Río. Lo anterior se ejecutó mediante premonitorio de sedimentación durante 16 semanas y 2 pruebas de laboratorio de agentes asociados a la actividad agrícola. Un estudio se realizó en época de transición verano-invierno y el otro en invierno, con el objetivo de que hubiese capacidad de dilución de agentes contaminantes. Al ser la región de Los Santos una zona geográficamente vulnerable a la erosión hídrica, debido a las constantes precipitaciones durante la época de invierno, el área de estudio se ubicó sobre el cauce de este río. Este estudio buscó evidenciar cómo dos diferentes escenarios de producción contribuyen o no al arrastre superficial de sedimentos y que tipo de Buenas Prácticas Agrícolas se ejecutan en las fincas para mitigar los daños. Una vez finalizado el proyecto se concluyó que en la finca evaluada existe ausencia de BPA, facilitando el arrastre de sedimentos, así como también, alteraciones sobre la calidad del agua de esta cuenca. Al final se recomienda realizar los análisis químicos de forma mensual para evitar que las moléculas de los plaguicidas se degraden y se disipen a consecuencia de su alta solubilidad en agua y también realizar un análisis químico al agua con sedimentos capturados en las gavetas a nivel de finca, con la finalidad de obtener mejores resultados.

Günümüzde hastaneler, değişen rekabet koşullarında maliyetleri düşük tutarak kaliteli ve etkili sağlık hizmeti sunmayı hedeflemektedir. Sağlık kuruluşlarının etkin ve verimli hizmet sunabilmesi, belirledikleri hedeflere ulaşmaları açısından performans ölçüm ve denetimlerinin düzenli bir şekilde gerçekleştirilmesine ve değerlendirilmesine bağlıdır. Bu araştırmada, Adıyaman Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi'nde performansa dayalı ek ücret sisteminin sağlık personeli üzerindeki etkileri incelenmiş ve değerlendirilmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışmada anket yöntemi kullanılmış ve elde edilen veriler SPSS paket programıyla analiz edilmiştir. İstatistiksel analizlerde standart sapma, aritmetik ortalama, frekans dağılımları, çapraz tablolar, varyans analizi (ANOVA), Student's t-testi, ki-kare testi gibi çeşitli istatistiksel teknikler kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonucunda, hekimlerin %60’ı ve yardımcı sağlık personelinin %80,7’si performansa dayalı ek ücret uygulamasından memnun olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma bulguları, çalışanlar arası ek ödeme miktarındaki yüksek farkın çalışan hoşnutsuzluğunu artırdığını ve performans değerlemedeki en büyük sorunun motivasyon eksikliği olduğunu göstermektedir. Araştırmada Türkiye’deki bir sağlık kurumuna odaklanılmış ve ülkeye özel bulgular sunulmuştur. Bu, öncelikle gelişmiş ülkeleri inceleyen çalışmalardan farklılaşmasını sağlamıştır.
