ОГЛЯД МОЖЛИВОСТЕЙ СІТКОВОГО ПРЕПРОЦЕСОРА ANSYS MESHING ДЛЯ СТВОРЕННЯ ВИСОКОЯКІСНИХ СКІНЧЕННО-ЕЛЕМЕНТНИХ СІТОК

Published: October 2022

The finite element method is one of the most widely used numerical methods for solving problems of solid mechanics, heat transfer, hydrodynamics and electrodynamics. It refers to approximate methods for solving partial differential equations, as well as integral equations that arise in solving applied problems of mechanics. One of the steps of the method’s implementation is discretization: the process of replacing a real physical object with its discrete model, consisting of a set of elements of a certain geometric shape and finite sizes. As a result of this transition, a reduction in the overall dimension of the problem being solved is achieved, which makes it possible to practically implement this method on a computer in the form of a package of applied programs. One of the strategic issues of the method under consideration is the accuracy of the resulting solution, which depends on the degree of discretization of the computational model. Building a finite element mesh is one of the most time-consuming steps and its effectiveness is largely determined by the methods used to build the mesh and, of course, the practical experience of the user with a particular calculation program. The issue of creating a high-quality and economical finite element mesh is a key issue in solving resource-intensive problems of solid mechanics and computational fluid dynamics in conditions of limited computing resources. The quality of the created mesh largely determines the outcome of the computer simulation process and affects the accuracy of the resulting solution, its stability and convergence, as well as the required computing resources and time costs. The article provides an overview of the methods for constructing finite element meshes implemented in the ANSYS Workbench system, describes individual functions that improve the quality of the mesh, as well as reduce the dimension of the finite element model. The capabilities of the Mesh Metric tool used to assess the quality of the mesh are described and practical recommendations for its use are given. A number of practical examples show that the use of methods that make it possible to create finite element meshes containing predominantly hexahedral elements makes it possible to increase individual metric data that determine the quality of the mesh and reduce the model dimension.

The 3P Framework: A Comprehensive Approach to Coping with the Emerging Infectious Disease Crisis
Authors: Molnár Orsolya , Hoberg Eric , Trivellone Valeria , Földvári Gábor , R. Daniel
Published: October 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic is the latest example of the profound socioeconomic impact of the emerging infectious disease (EID) crisis. Current health security measures are based on a failed evolutionary paradigm that presumes EID is rare and cannot be predicted because emergence requires the prior evolution of novel genetic capacities for colonizing a new host. Consequently, crisis response through preparation for previously emerged diseases and palliation following outbreaks have been the only health security options, which have become unsustainably expensive and unsuccessful. The Stockholm paradigm (SP) is an alternative evolutionary framework that suggests host changes are the result of changing conditions that bring pathogens into contact with susceptible hosts, with novel genetic variants arising in the new host after infection. Host changes leading to EID can be predicted because preexisting capacities for colonizing new hosts are highly specific and phylogenetically conservative. This makes EID prevention through limiting exposure to susceptible hosts possible. The DAMA (Document, Assess, Monitor, Act) protocol is a policy extension of the SP that can both prevent and mitigate EID by enhancing traditional efforts through adding early warning signs and predicting transmission dynamics. Prevention, preparation, and palliation compose the 3P framework, a comprehensive plan for reducing the socioeconomic impact of EID.
Construction of Air Pollution Index with the Inclusion of Aggregated Weights of the Pollutants
Authors: Mat Kasim Maznah , Mat Desa Nor Hasliza
Published: October 2022

The ambient air quality measurement in Malaysia is described as Air Pollution Index (API). Basically the existing API for a given period of time is defined as the maximum value of the sub-index values of six pollutants. Although research has shown that long and short term exposure to air suspended toxicants has a different toxicological impact on human, the API still considers these pollutants as having equal hazardous impacts on human. Hence, this paper aims to propose a new API that includes weights representing different hazardous levels of these pollutants in its calculation. Based on secondary data of six pollutants’ readings for sixteen states of Malaysia for year 2018, the aggregated weights were computed by combining both weights obtained from the subjective experts’ opinions and the objective data-driven methods, which balanced both perspectives of evaluations. The results show that the particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 micrometre (PM2.5) found to be the most hazardous pollutant since its aggregated weight value is the highest and the distributions of the API readings for all sixteen states were found to be normal. The highest and lowest API readings took place on the 14th of August and 10 of March 2018 respectively. It is argued that the new API readings are more accurate and give a better picture about the occurrence of air pollution in Malaysia in particular. This study provides a new insight in constructing API specifically and contributes a more comprehensive and precise air quality measurements to be analysed by the responsible authorities in their efforts towards healthy environment.

Published: October 2022

Speech act is an act of communication that must be understood by the speaker and listener. Misunderstanding of speech act in conversation or dialogue can cause the misleading in the conversation. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the speech act types in daily conversation between students and parents at home.  Qualitative research design was undertaken by the researcher to gain the speech act types. The research participants were twenty-four students of English Education department. Checklist was used to obtain the data. Moreover, the data were analyzed by using qualitative analysis by applying several stages from reduction, displaying and drawing conclusion. The result showed that several types of speech were found during conversation of students and parents at home. Those were directive, declarative, expressive and commissive. The dominant speech act type was directive because the parents asked the students to do something at home. Another finding showed that the students and parents did not use representative speech act in the conversation. It is because in the conversation between students and parents at home were informal conversation that seldom or never use representative. In short, it is not all speech appeared in the conversation because it depends on the function of speech act itself.
Gender and Religious Identity: Intersecting Axes of Discrimination in The Breadwinner Animated Movie (2017)
Authors: Kurniati Geni , Tisnawijaya Christy
Published: October 2022

This study, entitled “Gender and Religious Identity: Intersecting Axes of Discrimination in The Breadwinner Animated Movie (2017)”, highlights the importance of conceptualizing gender discrimination related to religious identity as inherently shaped by society. Using intersectional theoretical perspectives - the narrative and cinematography elements and gender studies – this study examines how gender and religious identity are inextricably linked to portray the main character’s experiences of discrimination. The analysis begins with narrative and illustrative data showing how the main character’s background as a daughter and Muslim results in multiple layers of discrimination. Her gender and religious affiliation substantially influence the discrimination. Moreover, bias varies for men and women of different age groups. The main character experiences more discrimination as a teenage girl than her disguised character as a teenage boy. Women are significantly more likely to face gender discrimination than men, but girls are enormous. Hence, this concurrent examination of the main character’s gender and religious identity reveals that she is characterized by high rates of discrimination throughout her childhood, in a way teenage boys are not. The main character’s experience of discrimination highlights the importance of conceptualizing gender and religious identity as intersecting axes of discrimination.

Axisymmetric Stress State of Adhesive Joint of a Circular Patch with a Plate Weakened by a Circular Cut-out
Authors: Kurennov Sergei , Smetankina Natalia , Barakhov Konstantin
Published: October 2022

Adhesive lap joints are widely used in modern structures. Known analytical mathematical models of the stress state of lap joints describe the joints of straight beams or cylindrical coaxial pipes. It is assumed that the stress state of these structures depends on only one coordinate. The study of the stress state of plates with defects, which are reinforced by patches, in most cases requires the use of at least two-dimensional mathematical models. In this work, it is shown that the axial symmetry of the plate, the cut-out, the patch, and the applied load makes it possible to reduce the problem to a one-dimensional problem in the polar coordinate system. An adhesive lap joint with circular symmetry is considered for the first time. The stress-strain state of the structure is described in an analytical form. Comparison of the results of calculating the stress state of the joint with the results of finite element modelling showed good adequacy of the proposed mathematical model.

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the treatment of choice for symptomatic gall stone disease. But post operative pain may prolong hospital stay and increase morbidity. The aim of the study was to find out the effect of port site infiltration of Bupivacaine in reducing post operative pain following routine laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Materials and methods: This is a double blind randomized controlled trial conducted in the Department of Surgery, Chittagong Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh. A total 200 patients underwent routine laparoscopic cholecystectomy were enrolled in the study. All patients are assigned in two groupscontrol group (Infiltration of 20 ml normal saline at port site) and Bupivacaine group (20 ml Bupivacaine at port site). Both groups are followed at 4 hrs, 12 hrs and 24 hrs after operation to assess the intensity of pain by using Visual Analogue Pain Scale (VAS). Time regarding the first analgesic request by the patients, total dose of analgesic, days of return to normal day to day activities and normal works were also recorded. Results: The mean age of control group and Bupivacaine group were 41.64 and 37.54 years respectively. At 4hrs post operative mean pain score were 6.76 and 5.62 respectively (p value 0.015). At 12 hrs mean pain score were 4.4 and 3.88 respectively (p value 0.001). At 24hrs pain score were 2.66 and 2.08 respectively (p value 0.002). Mean time of first analgesic required were 4.8hrs and 7hrs respectively (p value 0.000). Mean duration of hospital stay were 2.26 days and 2.22 days respectively (p value 0.371). Total dose of analgesic required were 12 and 9 between the groups respectively (p value 0.000). Mean time of return to normal day to days activities were 3.98 days and 2.98 days respectively (p value 0.000). Return to normal work after 6.98 days and 6.46 days respectively between the groups (p value 0.008) that is statistically significant. Conclusion : Infiltration of Bupivacaine at port site at post operative period of laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients significantly reduces pain than control group. It helps patients for early mobilization, early return to normal activities and works. Thus it reduces overall cost and morbidity of symptomatic cholelithiasis patients.

Detection of Imipenem Resistant Extended Spectrum B-Lactamases (Esbls) Producers Among Gram-Negative Bacilli in Chittagong Medical College Hospital, Chittagong
Authors: Chowdhury Abu Hena Md Saiful Karim , Akter Nasima , Ara Nura Nasrin Rowshan
Published: October 2022

Background: Extended-Spectrum b-lactamases (ESBLs) producing bacteria are increasing in number and causing more severe infections because of their continuous mutation and multidrug resistance property which make its treatment difficult. The emergence of carbapenem (Imipenem) resistantant ESBLs will worsen the management of infections and increases the mortality rates. The present study was undertaken to detect the imipenem resistantant ESBLs producing bacteria in patients attending Chittagong Medical College Hospital. Materials and methods: All the isolates from different clinical samples were identified by standard procedure of identification & antibiotic sensitivity pattern were done accordingly. Isolated gramnegative bacteria were initially screened by Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) ESBLs breakpoints & then confirmed by Phenotypic Confirmatory Test (PCT). Results: In the present study, 94.67% were found as suspected ESBLs producers, of which 62.68% confirmed as ESBL producers. The prevalence of ESBLs producers was found to be 59.33%, where Klebsiella species (67.50%) was the leading ESBLs producers. Among them 6.74% were imipenem resistant ESBLs producers. Conclusion: It is essential to report ESBL production along with routine antimicrobial sensitivity testing time to time for the selection of antibiotics for empirical treatment.

Background: To find out the renal morphological changes after Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) both in short and long term. Materials and methods: This prospective study was carried out in the in the Department of Urology, Chittagong Medical College Hospital, Chittagong from January 2009 to January 2010. Patients with symptom, radio logically proved renal stone(s) measuring less than 2 cm in diameter and who are normotensive were enrolled in this study. Results: All 50 patients were divided into four age groups. The age ranged from 38 to 68 years and the maximum number was found in the age group of 51-60 years. The mean age was 50.9 years with Standard Deviation (SD)±11.2 years. Out of which 58.0% were male and rest 42.0% were female patients. All patients had normal morphological kidney ESWL but after ESWL 4(8.0%) had peri renal hematoma hydronephrosis / increased size of the kidney. The difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05) before and after ESWL. Sub capsular hematoma or peri renal hematoma, hydronephrosis of kidney and increased size of the kidney diagnosed by USG of KUB region and CT scan. All patients had normal kidney before ESWL but after ESWL 6(12.0%) had paren chymal scarring / decreased size of the kidney. The difference was statistically significant (p<0.05) before and after ESWL. Morphological changes of the kidney like parenchymal scarring and decreased size of the kidney diagnosed by USG of KUB region. All patients had normal kidney before ESWL but after ESWL 3(6.0%) had hydronephrosis, obstruction in peliviuretuic junction and ureter, stein strasse formation. The difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05) before and after ESWL. Conclusion: ESWL is a good option for the management of renal stone less than 2cm. ESWL is considered a safe and well-tolerated procedure. Serious complications are rare, but need to be considered in certain number of patients with complications at short and long term after ESWL. Transient renal morphological changes occurs within short time and at variable period after ESWL.Post ESWL complication’s like renal morphological changes are rare, which become normal with in variable period.

Lulusan SMA/SMK masih banyak yang tidak melanjutkan pendidikan ke perguruan tinggi tapi lebih memilih terjun langsung ke dunia kerja. Mayoritas dari mereka terkendala dengan biaya untuk melanjutkan ke perguruan tinggi serta minat yang masih rendah. Padahal di era sekarang lulusan SMA/SMK tidak terlalu dibutuhkan di dunia kerja. Peluang lebih besar dimiliki oleh masyarakat yang memiliki kualifikasi sarjana. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan Sumber Daya Manusia (SDM) yang baik untuk memulai karir di era society 5.0. Melalui kegiatan pengabdian ini diharapkan peluang kerja lulusan SMA/SMK dapat ditingkatkan melalui kualifikasinya.

Tarih-i Osmânî/Türk Tarih Encümeni Mecmuası’nda Osmanlı ve Avrupa Tarihlerine Yöneltilen Eleştiriler
Authors: Kurt Selami
Published: October 2022

Cumhuriyet’in laboratuvarı olarak kabul edilen II. Meşrutiyet Dönemi, Türk tarihçiliği açısından klasik, popüler, akademik ve kurumsal tarih çalışmalarının birlikte yürütüldüğü bir geçiş dönemini temsil eder. Bu dönem, tarih, tarihin faydası ve vazifesi, usulleri, tarih eğitimi, ilmi ve millî tarih konusunda kavrayışın derinleşmeye başladığı ve bilimsel tarihçiliğin kurumsallaştığı bir dönem olması açısından önemlidir. Bu dönemde kurulan ve 1931 yılına kadar çalışmalarına devam eden Tarih-i Osmânî/Türk Tarih Encümeni bilimsel tarih çalışmalarına önemli katkılar sunmuştur. Encümen’in Türk tarihinin ilk bilimsel tarih dergisi olarak nitelendirilen mecmuası, dönemin tarih anlayışını ve zamanla meydana gelen gelişmeleri yansıtmaktadır. Elbette bu geçiş döneminde Mecmua’nın bütün yazarlarının aynı tarih telakkisine sahip olduğu iddia edilemez. Ancak özellikle tarih konusunda dünyadaki gelişmeleri takip edebilen bazı Mecmua yazarlarının Osmanlı ve Avrupa tarihlerine yönelttikleri eleştiriler, bilimsel tarih çalışmalarının önemsendiğini ve tarih telakkisinin gelişmekte olduğunu göstermektedir. Mecmua’da Osmanlı tarihlerine usul, üslup ve muhteva yönünden eleştiriler yöneltilmiştir. Üslup ile ilgili eleştirilerde, İran ve Bizans edebiyatının etkisiyle tarih yazımında ortaya çıkan ve uzun süre etkisini devam ettiren ağdalı ve mübalağalı dil kullanımının tarihin halk için üretilmeye başladığı II. Meşrutiyet şartlarında ihtiyacı karşılamadığı vurgulanmıştır. Usul ile ilgili eleştiriler, eksik ve yanlış bilgi verme, tenkit usullerini uygulamama, gereksiz tafsilata girme ve bazı konularda padişaha yaranmak için hakikati saptırma vb. konularda yoğunlaşmıştır. Muhtevaya yönelik eleştiriler, Osmanlı tarihlerinin daha çok siyasi ve askerî konulara yer verip içtimai, iktisadi, ticari ve kültürel konuları ihmal ettikleri yönünde olmuştur. Avrupa tarihlerine yönelik eleştirilerde ise eksik, yanlış ve uydurma haberlere yer verip garazkâr ve taraflı yaklaşım sergilemeleri ön plana çıkmaktadır. Mecmua’nın Osmanlı dönemi makalelerinde daha çok Osmanlı ve Avrupa tarihlerinin eksik ve yanlışlarla dolu olduğu vurgulanırken, Cumhuriyet dönemi makalelerinde usul hatalarıyla ilgili tespitler daha çok ön plana çıkmaktadır. Bu durum, Osmanlı’dan Cumhuriyet’e tarih telakkisinin geliştiğini ve derinleştiğini göstermektedir.
Hatıralar Işığında Şerif Hüseyin İsyanı ve Hicaz Cephesi
Authors: Akcakaya Umut , Aydoğan Erdal
Published: October 2022

Osmanlı Devleti’nin I. Dünya Harbi’nde savaştığı cephelerden biri de Hicaz Cephesi olmuştur. Hicaz Cephesi’ndeki mücadele esas olarak Mekke Emiri Şerif Hüseyin liderliğinde isyan eden Arap aşiretlerine karşı verilmiştir. İsyancılar, İngilizlerden önemli miktarda maddi, lojistik ve silah desteği görmüş, ayrıca İngiliz istihbarat ajanları isyancı liderlere askerî danışmanlık yapmıştır. Şerif Hüseyin’in İngiliz yetkililerle gizli temasları harpten önce başlamış ve karşılıklı mektuplaşmalar şeklinde sürmüştür. Şerif Hüseyin’in, Arap nüfusun yaşadığı topraklarda bir Arap krallığı ile halifelik makamını kendi üzerinde birleştirmeyi planladığı bu yazışmalarda açıkça görülür. Nihayet aradığı desteği bulan Şerif, Haziran 1916’da isyanı başlatmıştır.
Hicaz’da yaşanan gelişmeler Sina-Filistin Cephesi’ndeki olaylarla doğrudan bağlantılı olmuştur. Şerif Hüseyin İsyanı harp sonuna kadar devam etmiş ancak Arap nüfus arasında geniş bir destek bulamamıştır. İsyanın başarısı ve milliyetçi bir nitelik kazanması ancak Osmanlı ordusunun Filistin Cephesi’ndeki mağlubiyeti ile mümkün olmuştur.
