A simple calcination process was used to create g-C3N4 (CN) from melamine, and the modified g-C3N4 (MCN) was synthesized with hydrochloric acid (HCl), sulfuric acid (H2SO4), and nitric acid (HNO3). After acid modification, CN successfully introduced oxygen-containing functional groups and obtained CN-HNO3 with multiple holes, which improved the photocatalytic efficiency. The bandgap of CN-HNO3 (2.46 eV) is 0.24 eV lower than that of CN (2.70 eV), resulting in more electron holes and improved light absorption of the catalyst. CN-HNO3 has a conduction band (CB) of -1.23 eV, while CN has a CB of -1.13 eV. CN-HNO3 is simpler to convert O2 to and#183;O2- than CN, which can boost photocatalytic efficiency. The degradation of rhodamine B(RhB) was used to investigate the photocatalytic properties of CN and MCN. The results show that the photocatalytic efficiency of MCN was higher than that of pure CN, and the photocatalytic efficiency and degradation rate constant of CN-HNO3 was 36.6% and 5.5 times higher than that of the CN, reaching 99.7% and 0.0341 min-1. The degradation efficiency remained more than 85% after five cycles, showing that MCN was more photo-catalytically stable than CN.

Published: November 2023

Connectedness between students positively impacts the overall student experience and performance in higher education. This study aims to establish the perception of student-student connectedness and explore how connectedness relates to learning in a cohort of second year environmental health students at the National University of Lesotho. A descriptive cross-sectional study design was used, applying the mixed methods approach to collect data through a self-administered questionnaire and semi-structured key informant interviews. The population (n=31) responded to the questionnaire while stratified random sampling was used to select a 13% interview sample. Bivariate analysis results show that connectedness increased at the end of the semester. Furthermore, at the beginning of the semester, weak positive and negative relationships existed between connectedness and teaching-learning activities while stronger positive relationships dominated at the end of the semester. Teaching and learning methods should be varied and collaborative to improve connectedness among students.

India is a heritage filled agriculture-dependent country. It's necessary to modernize our ancient agricultural practices by providing appropriate circumstances to the farmers. The agricultural transformation is often done via dynamic business proposition that could be a techno-economic method which can be accelerated easily. With the evident development in production technology, input supply, and infrastructure, we are able to see the upward trend in arrivals. The key constraints or factors that influence the prices within the market are due to the arrivals of the selective commodities and their competitive crops. The objectives of this paper is (i) To investigate the trend in arrivals of tomato in Kolar and Chintamanimarket, (ii) To estimate the trend in costs of tomato in Kolar and Chintamani market and (iii) To forecast the market-wise costs of tomato. The analysis reveals the fallouts of the findings: variations in the price level, the governmentnecessity to create buffer stock schemes that may facilitate to stabilize the market value of tomatoes by getting hold suppliers who merchandise once harvests square measure masses, and marketing stocks of the merchandise onto the market once suppliers square measure low. These methods needed high finish technology and infrastructure. The problem of price variations and profit variations are often restrained by tomato retailers by having appropriate inventory management skills. Therefore, to avoid overstocking of tomatoes at a time within the store. This can be attributable to the biodegradable nature of tomato and overstocking of tomato causes spoilage predominantlydue to lack of storage facilities. Henceprecise cold storage should be constructed. The big data should beused to developing tools using artificial intelligence, machine learning to enhance planning and marketing services.
Design and Development of Maximum Power Point Tracking for Picohydro in Renewable Energy Harvesting Hybrid Systems
Authors: Pratama Akbar , Akhiriyanto Novan , A Wasis Waskito
Published: November 2023

This prototype is designed to collect energy from Picohydro Power Plants in the PEM Akamigas Solar Pump (PEMASOL) research. There are three picohydro units used to convert water flow into electrical energy. The Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) function is to process the energy generated by the picohydro units and charge the battery. An INA219 sensor is installed at the input and output of the MPPT to measure voltage, current, and power parameters generated and processed by the picohydro units and MPPT. The MPPT uses a Single-Ended Primary Inductor Converter (SEPIC) as a DC/DC converter to convert energy from the picohydro units. The SEPIC consists of a 100 ? H inductor, a 100 ? F capacitor, an IRF 540N transistor, and a 1N5392 diode. The energy conversion process in the MPPT is controlled by an ESP-32 microcontroller, which regulates pulse signals using the Incremental Conductance (INC) Algorithm to achieve the maximum power point of the energy generated by the picohydro units. The ESP-32 and INA219 sensors are connected using the MicroPython programming language, and the data read and processed by the ESP-32 is displayed on an OLED screen. During testing, the duty cycle operating on the SEPIC was found to have a range of 10% to 45%, resulting in an input voltage of 14.6 V for the battery with a current of 0.03 mA and an optimum power of 290 mW with gradual duty cycle increments, and a maximum power point of 210 mW with the INC algorithm on the Picohydro

Pengetahuan mengenai karakteristik fluida reservoir sangat penting dalam industri perminyakan khususnya pada kegiatan hulu migas. Dengan mengetahui karakteristik reservoir fluida, maka berbagai permasalahan yang terjadi pada proses produksi minyak termasuk permasalahan peralatan dan transportasi dapat teratasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui sifat fisik sampel fluida reservoir dari Lapangan Ledok dan Lapangan Semanggi. Lebih spesifiknya untuk mengetahui dimana suatu fluida masih mempunyai kemampuan untuk mengalir atau disebut dengan titik tuang dan titik dingin. Hal ini penting untuk merancang peralatan produksi yang sesuai seperti jenis pompa untuk memindahkan fraksi dari satu tempat ke tempat lain pada suhu tertentu. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan uji laboratorium dengan pengujian manual standar operasional prosedur (SOP). Sampel uji diambil dari empat sumur yaitu sumur LDK 234, sumur LDK 109, sumur SMG 64 dan sumur SMG 65. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai titik tuang pada LDK 234 berada pada suhu 15oC, sedangkan pada LDK 109 berada pada suhu 19oC. Nilai titik dingin pada LDK 234 sebesar 12oC, sedangkan pada LDK 109 sebesar 16oC. Sumur SMG 64 dan SMG 65 mempunyai titik tuang yang sama yaitu 0oC sehingga tidak ada nilai titik dinginnya. Titik tuang dan titik dingin yang rendah menunjukkan bahwa mungkin ada kesalahan karena pengujian, karena minyak mentah yang diambil dari sumur tersebut sebenarnya dianggap sebagai minyak mentah berat.

Epistemology and ontology in Science: the challenge of Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Cuéllar Rodríguez Santiago
Published: November 2023

The gap between predictability and comprehensibility threatens the entire scientific project because mathematical models of processes, fed by enormous amounts of data of very diverse origin, provide exceptionally precise results but, at the same time, hide the explanation of the processes. The knowledge of “what we know” of ontology is as relevant in science as that of “how we know” and “how much we know” of epistemology. Artificial intelligence (AI) involves the scientific understanding of the mechanisms underlying intelligent thought and behavior, as well as their embodiment in machines trained by their creators to reason in a conventional sense. Its “weak” formulation refers to the use of complex computer programs, designed with the purpose of complementing or assisting human reasoning to solve or complete complex problems of calculation, system maintenance, recognition of all types of images, design, analysis of data patterns, etc., many of which would be practically unapproachable using conventional procedures; but all this without including human sentient or ethical capabilities, which would be the subject of a – at the moment – non-existent “strong” AI, that would equal or even exceed human sentient intelligence. The popularization of “generative” AI, developed to create content – text, images, music or videos, among many other areas – from previous information, is helping to popularly consolidate the erroneous idea that current AI exceeds reasoning human level and exacerbates the risk of transmitting false information and negative stereotypes to people. The language models of artificial intelligence do not work by emulating a biological brain but are based on the search for logical patterns from large databases from diverse sources, which are not always updated or purged of falsehoods, errors or errors. conceptual or factual biases, both involuntary and self-serving. And the AI used in science is no stranger to these limitations and biases. A particularly sensitive issue is the possibility of using generative AI to write or even invent scientific articles that go unnoticed by the peer reviewers of the most prestigious scientific journals in the world, pointing to an even deeper problem: peer reviewers. Reviewers often do not have the time to review manuscripts thoroughly for red flags and, in many cases, they also lack adequate computing resources and specialized training.

Objective: Patients who recover from coronavirus disease (COVID-19) infection are at risk of long-term health disorders and may require prolonged health care. This retrospective observational study assesses the number of health-care visits before and after COVID-19 infection in Brunei Darussalam. Methods: COVID-19 cases from the first wave with 12 months of follow-up were included. Health-care utilization was defined as health-care visits for consultations or investigations. Post-COVID condition was defined using the World Health Organization definition. Results: There were 132 cases; 59.1% were male and the mean age was 37.1 years. The mean number of health-care visits 12 months after recovery from COVID-19 (123 cases, 93.2%; mean 5.0 ± 5.2) was significantly higher than the prior 12 months (87 cases, 65.9%, P<0.001; mean 3.2 ± 5.7, P<0.001). There was no significant difference when scheduled COVID-19 visits were excluded (3.6 ± 4.9, P = 0.149). All 22 cases with moderate to critical disease recovered without additional health-care visits apart from planned post-COVID-19 visits. Six patients had symptoms of post-COVID condition, but none met the criteria for diagnosis or had alternative diagnoses. Discussion: There were significantly more health-care visits following recovery from COVID-19. However, this was due to scheduled post-COVID-19 visits as per the national management protocol. This protocol was amended prior to the second wave to omit post-COVID-19 follow-up, except for complicated cases or cases with no documented radiological resolution of COVID-19 pneumonia. This will reduce unnecessary health-care visits and conserve precious resources that were stretched to the limit during the pandemic.

Objective: The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) is a remote Pacific island territory with a population of 47 329 that successfully prevented the significant introduction of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) until late 2021. This study documents how the response to the introduction of COVID-19 in CNMI in 2021 was conducted with limited resources without overwhelming local clinical capacity or compromising health service delivery for the population. Methods: Data from COVID-19 case investigations, contact tracing, the Commonwealth’s immunization registry and whole genome sequencing were collated and analysed as part of this study. Results: Between 26 March 2020 and 31 December 2021, 3281 cases and 14 deaths due to COVID-19 were reported in CNMI (case fatality rate, 0.4%). While notification rates were highest among younger age groups, hospitalization and mortality rates were disproportionately greater among those aged >50 years and among the unvaccinated. The first widespread community transmission in CNMI was detected in October 2021, with genomic epidemiology and contact tracing data indicating a single introduction event involving the AY.25 lineage and subsequent rapid community spread. Vaccination coverage was high before widespread transmission occurred in October 2021 and increased further over the study period. Discussion: Robust preparedness and strong leadership generated resilience within the public health sector such that COVID-19 did not overwhelm CNMI’s health system as it did in other jurisdictions and countries around the world. At no point was hospital capacity exceeded, and all patients received adequate care without the need for health-care rationing.

This study aims to describe excess mortality in the Philippines from January 2020 to December 2021 using an online all-cause mortality and excess mortality calculator. Methods: All-cause mortality datasets from 2015 to 2021 from the Philippine Statistics Authority were obtained and analysed using the World Health Organization Western Pacific Regional Office All-Cause Mortality Calculator. Expected mortality, excess mortality and P-scores were obtained using two models, 5-year averages and negative binomial regression, for total deaths and by administrative region. Results: Reported national all-cause mortality exceeded the expected mortality in August 2020 and from January to November 2021, peaking in September 2021 at 104 per 100 000. Total excess mortality using negative binomial regression was -13 900 deaths in 2020 and 212 000 deaths in 2021, peaking in September 2021. P-scores were -2% in 2020 and 33% in 2021, again peaking in September 2021 at 114%. Reported COVID-19 deaths accounted for 20% of excess deaths in 2021. In 2020, consistently high P-scores were recorded in the National Capital Region from July to September and in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao from June to July. In 2021, most regions recorded high P-scores from June to October. Discussion: Tracking excess mortality using a robust, accessible and standardized online tool provided a comprehensive assessment of the direct and indirect impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines. Furthermore, analysis by administrative region highlighted the key regions disproportionately affected by the pandemic, information that may not have been fully captured from routine COVID-19 surveillance.

TEMSİL KRİZİNİ SEMBOLLE AŞMAK: SÖZLEŞMECİ TOPLUMLARIN TEMSİL KRİZİNDE SEMBOL VE POPÜLİZM
Authors: COŞKUNER Murat
Published: November 2023

Popülizm literatürü, popülist hareketleri liberal demokrasilerde yaşanan temsil krizlerinin bir sonucu olarak değerlendirmektedir. Bu bağlamda halka seslenme ve onları temsil etme kapasitelerine vurgu yapılmaktadır. Ancak literatür genellikle bu halkın niteliğine değinmemektedir. Bir siyasal kitle olarak popülistlerin üzerine yaslandığı halk kimliksiz midir? İlgili literatürün taranmasıyla, popülist hareketlerin temel dayanak noktasını oluşturan halkı incelemeyi amaçlayan bu çalışma, popülizm çalışmalarında pek dikkate alınmayan halkın neden popülist hareketleri kendilerinin birer temsilcileri olarak gördüklerini açıklamaya çalışacaktır. Temsilin yabancılaştırıcı etkilerinin popülist hareketler tarafından sembollerle aşıldığı iddia edilecektir. Halk ile popülist hareketi birbirine yaklaştıran sembollerin halkın baskın bir etnik, kültürel veya dini karaktere sahip olduğu için işlevsel kılınabildiğini göstererek bu halkı demos olarak değil de ethnos olarak tanımlamak gerektiğini öne sürecektir.
ENACTİVİZM VE MERLEAU-PONTY
Authors: ESENDEMİR Mehmet
Published: November 2023

Enactive görüş, klasik zihin anlayışına karşı alternatif bir zihin görüşü ortaya koymayı hedeflemektedir. Buna göre insanın bilişsel nitelikleri ne tamamen indirgemeci bir şekilde somut ilişkilerle ne de sadece nesnesinden bağımsız soyut bir süreç olarak açıklanabilir. Aksine bilişsellik bedenli bir öznenin somut olarak içinde bulunduğu dünyada nesnelerle kurduğu yönelimsel ilişkiler olarak anlaşılmalıdır. Bu hedef doğrultusunda Merleau-Ponty’nin fenomenolojik analizlerini ve bedene yönelik düşüncelerini kendilerine rehber edinirler. Ancak söz konusu çalışma iki açıdan yetersiz kalmaktadır. İlki enactive görüşün yararlandığı bilimsel veriler nedeniyle fenomenolojinin doğalcılık eleştirilerine muhatap olacak bir doğal tavır içerisine girmesidir. İkincisi ise alternatif bir yol arayışı için rehberlik edinen Merleau-Ponty analizlerinin mevcut haliyle söz konusu hedefi geliştirmede yetersiz kalmasıdır. Bu nedenle TEM’in enactive görüşün bedenlenmiş bilinç yaklaşımını gerçek bir alternatif çözüm olarak sunması için söz konusu eleştirileri aşması gerekmektedir.
NATURE IN HEGEL’S SYSTEM: RE-THINKING IDEALISM WITH-IN NATURE
Authors: YİRMİBEŞ Mert Can
Published: November 2023

Hegel’s system of philosophy offers a complex line of thought for a type of idealism, drastically different from its widely known critical readings. By examining the relationships between logic-nature and nature-spirit, the paper aims to prove that the place of nature in Hegel’s system does not allow to be conceived of as mystically idealist since philosophy, as a system of thought, in its development has to have some bearings on the material world at some point. The paper firstly provides compatible definitions of the terms, idealism and naturalism, with Hegel’s system. While the paper takes the definition of idealism in a Hegelian sense, for the purpose of the paper, non-reductive naturalism is regarded as compatible type of naturalism with Hegel’s system. In the light of the given definitions, the paper secondly examines the relation of nature to the Logic in Hegel’s system, and thirdly, examines the relation of nature to spirit. The relations of nature to the Logic and to spirit enable us to conclude that Hegel’s system of philosophy is open for involving the elements of non-reductive naturalism along with idealism.
SCHİLLER’DE TARİH BİLİMİNİN ÖZELLİKLERİ
Authors: IŞIK Ceyhan
Published: November 2023

Schiller için tarih biliminin alanı tüm etik alandır, konusu ise medeni insandır. Schiller tarih bilimini sistematik açıdan ele almaz. Ancak o, tarih biliminin özsel niteliklerinden söz eder. Bu çalışmanın amacı Schiller’de tarih biliminin niteliklerini göstermek ve bu nitelikler yoluyla onun tarih bilimini daha sistematik olarak göstermektir. Tarih biliminin nitelikleri şunlardır: (a) Yazı: Tarih yazı ile başlar. (b) Felsefe: Felsefi tarih bilimi birleştiricidir, parçacı değil. (c) Evrensellik: Evrensel tarih felsefi tarih ve bütünsel dünya tarihidir. (d) Teleoloji: Tarihin amacı vardır, tarih Tanrı’nın planıdır. (e) Şimdicilik: Tarih tüm zamanları kapsar, ancak merkezde duran zaman birimi şimdiki zamandır. (f) Döngüsellik ve İlerlemecilik: Tarih neden-sonuç ilişkisinde döngüsel ve ilerlemecidir.
