CONTACT INTERACTION OF AN UNDERGROUND PIPELINE WITH SOIL UNDER DYNAMIC IMPACTS
Authors: Sultanov Karim
Published: October 2024

The interaction between a semi-infinite underground pipeline and the surrounding soil during longitudinal seismic wave propagation is examined in the article. The wave travels through the soil with its front perpendicular to the pipeline's axis, and the nonlinear laws of interaction (friction) on the surface of their contact, including the Amonton-Coulomb law, are used to solve related wave problems for the pipeline and soil. The method of characteristics and the finite difference method are sequentially used to solve these problems numerically. The implementation of the law of interaction (friction) processes is shown, depending on the parameters of the wave in soil and the mechanical characteristics of soil. It was determined that a wave in soil that involves the pipeline generates a powerful wave in the pipeline. The amplitude of this wave is many times greater than the amplitude of the wave in soil, and it propagates through the pipeline without attenuation. The dependences of the amplitude of this wave on the parameters of the law of friction, waves in soil, and the mechanical characteristics of soil are determined.

Authors: Köme Sure
Published: October 2024

Generalized number systems, particularly octonions with their algebraic structure, have drawn much interest in mathematics, physics, and computer technology. Therefore, in this paper, we introduce two new concepts, modified generalized dual Fibonacci and modified generalized dual Lucas octonions, to expand the topic of octonions. Additionally, we explore the well-known Catalan and Cassini identities, shedding light on the characteristics of these new constructs. Also, we give generating functions and the Binet formulas of the modified generalized dual Fibonacci and modified generalized dual Lucas octonions.

Authors: Jahanpanah Sirus , Daneshpayeh Roohallah
Published: October 2024

In all classical logical algebras, only two elements can be equated to one element, and this is not possible when we want to equate more than two elements to one or more than one element. In this study, we are looking for a new idea to cover this defect. This paper considers the logic algebra structures and generalizes them to superhyper logic algebra. Indeed, we extended the axioms of logic algebra to neutrosophic superhyper logic algebras.

La información en las redes sociales digitales y sus riesgos en la formación de comportamientos, creencias y actitudes ciudadanos
Authors: Ramos Chávez Héctor Alejandro
Published: October 2024

La información obtenida a través de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación, principalmente en las redes sociales digitales, ha traído grandes ventajas asociadas a la generación de una mayor cantidad de conocimiento y a la participación en múltiples ámbitos de la vida colectiva de los individuos. Aunado a ello, hay algunos aspectos en los que conviene ahondar para evitar solamente reconocer los elementos positivos de este fenómeno. En el presente trabajo se retoman tres de estos aspectos considerados poco abordados en los estudios existentes: el arraigamiento ideológico, entendido bajo la noción de path dependence, que dificulta el enriquecimiento de las posturas y de la opinión pública; la pérdida de los vínculos débiles debido a la cada vez mayor cerrazón de ideas suscitada en las redes sociales digitales; y la posible alienación política a través de la información oficial digital que no es acompañada por la consulta de otras fuentes o enfoques de análisis que enriquezcan la perspectiva de los ciudadanos. Las conclusiones apuntan a la necesidad de tener en cuenta estos y otros fenómenos en los estudios con el objeto de intentar mejorar los procesos de obtención de información digital de los ciudadanos.

ASPECTOS NEUROPSICOLÓGICOS DAS FUNÇÕES EXCUTIVAS NA CONSTRUÇÃO ESPACIAL DE MODELOS COLORIDOS EM ALUNOS COM E SEM DIFICULDADES DE APRENDIZAGEM
Authors: Pereira Fernando Oliveira
Published: October 2024

The effectiveness of the spatial construction of models is directly related to the degree of internal spatio-temporal structuring and organization which, in turn, depends on the degree of the functional optimization of the subjects of the action. The objective of this study is to detect neuropsychological differences in executive functions, between students with and without learning difficulties, in terms of attempts and time spent performing spatial construction tasks. The research hypothesis states that there are differences in the number of attempts and time spent when performing spatial tasks, with greater expressiveness in students with learning difficulties. In methodology, the resource focused on the neuropsychological instrument of spatial construction used colored models based on the manipulation of four Kohs cubes; as well as neuropsychological observation and psychological interview. The results show that at most ages the tendency is for students with learning difficulties to make a greater number of attempts and spend more time performing tasks related to spatial construction tests, compared to students without learning difficulties. In conclusion, it is inferred that students with learning difficulties tend to present internal spatio-temporal structuring and organization deficits, which result from deficits in the operability of executive functions.

Exploring Autophagy in Cancer: Therapeutic Perspectives
Authors: Jha Dr. Anand Mohan , Kumar Dr. Anil , Kumari Dr. Kumud , Hosamani Dr. Rashmi , Ravichandran Dr. S. , Innocent Rani Dr. Vanitha , Singh Dr Priyanka
Published: October 2024

Autophagy is a catabolic mechanism crucial for sustaining cellular homeostasis, and in this process, encapsulated degraded inside repurposed to facilitate metabolic processes. In cancer, autophagy has a dual role: it acts as a tumor suppressor by preventing the buildup of damaged cellular components, but also as a survival mechanism, that supports tumor growth under stress. Cancer cells often trigger autophagy to manage the increased metabolic demands of rapid growth. This stress tolerance allows tumor cells to maintain energy production, contributing to both tumor progression and resistance to treatment. Preclinical studies have shown that autophagy inhibition reinstates chemotherapeutic sensitivity and increases tumor cell mortality. These findings indicate that targeting autophagy may represent a viable therapeutic approach, with early-phase clinical trials exploring the use of hydroxychloroquine alongside chemotherapy or targeted treatments. As comprehension of autophagy in oncology advances, there is an increasing interest in creating more targeted and efficacious autophagy inhibitors for therapeutic applications.

Published: October 2024

The press and pundits have extensively discussed the dangers of artificial general intelligence (AGI) and the various ethical and functional effects of current emerging technologies. This paper attempts to focus on AI as applied to accounting and auditing and its realities. It shows studies using machine learning and natural language processing, including generative efforts, and robotic and extended process automation. It concludes that a very promising set of applications is emerging, but there is little immediate danger of being replaced by machines to most in the profession, although the impacts are going to be substantive. These applications primarily utilize individual or combined AI functions, and the realization of true intelligence remains a distant goal.

Silane and acid etch cross contamination of dentin and composite reduced µ-tensile bond strength
Authors: Thor Eliasson Sigfus , Einar Dahl Jon
Published: October 2024

Objectives: To investigate whether acid etch contamination of silane-treated composite influenced repair bond strength and whether silane contamination on dentin influenced composite bond strength to dentin.
Materials and methods: Forty composite blocks stored in water for 4 weeks were divided into four groups. Specimens in groups 1–3 were coated with Bis-Silane and contaminated with acid etch + water spray (group 1) or water spray (group 2). Group 3 was not contaminated. Group 4 was untreated. The occlusal third of 60 third molars was cut off, ground flat, and divided into three groups. After etching, the surfaces in groups A and B were contaminated with Bis-silane. The contaminated surfaces in group A were re-etched.
Each composite repair group and composite-dentin group was divided into two subgroups receiving Adper Scotchbond 1 XT or Clearfil SE Bond 2 adhesives followed by a composite build up. After ageing for 3 months, specimens were sectioned into 1.1 mm × 1.1 mm rods for tensile testing and strength calculated at fracture. The fracture was examined using microscope.
Results: Bis-Silane surface treatment increased the repair bond strength. Contamination with acid reduced the strength of the repair bond. Similar results were obtained for both adhesives. Tooth surface contamination with silane reduced the bond strength between dentin and composite. Additional acid etching or water spray on silane contaminated dentin did not influence the weakened bond strength. Most fractures were adhesive type.
Conclusions: Silane contamination on etched dentin and acid etch contamination on silanized composite surfaces significantly reduced tensile bond strength.

Published: October 2024

The experiment was conducted at seed breeding farm, Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, College of Agriculture, JNKVV, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India during the rabi season (November, 2019–April, 2020) to estimate the parameters of genetic variability, assess the correlation among traits, and estimate direct and indirect effects. The ANOVA revealed that the mean sum of squares due to genotypes was highly significant for all the traits. The phenotypic coefficient of variation was higher than the genotypic coefficient of variation for all the characters. High values of phenotypic coefficient of variation and genotypic coefficient of variation were observed for most of the traits, while moderate values of phenotypic coefficient of variation and genotypic coefficient of variation were recorded for 100 seed weight, pod length, days to 50% flowering and days to first flower opening. High heritability with high genetic advance as a % of mean was recorded for most of the traits. Moderate heritability and high genetic advance were recorded for the number of primary branches plant-1, secondary branches plant-1 and pod length, indicating the control of additive gene action. Meanwhile, high heritability with moderate genetic advance for days to maturity showed non-additive gene action. Correlation coefficients and path analysis for phenological and quantitative traits indicated that the most important traits are number of seeds plant-1, number of effective pods plant-1, biological yield plant-1 and harvest index. Hence, directional selection through these traits may effectively improve seed yield and its attributes.

EXPLORING HOW ELEMENTARY ENGLISH TEACHERS IN REGIONAL AREAS TRANSFORMED THEIR TEACHING DURING THE PANDEMIC
Authors: Susanto Indra
Published: October 2024

The Covid-19 pandemic has brought about many changes in many spheres of life, including education. The country's unique geographic and demographic characteristics challenge Indonesia's government's remote learning policy to preserve education throughout the unprecedented period, including for English teachers in Indonesian regional areas. This study examines how elementary English teachers in regional Indonesia adapt their teaching throughout the pandemic. Through in-depth interviews, the experience of two elementary English teachers who taught before and during the epidemic was investigated in a qualitative study using a case study approach to determine how their teaching changed. The difficulties encountered and the help obtained were also examined. A thematic analysis of the interviews determined that the teaching transformation during the pandemic decreased, though to varying degrees, for each participant. The participants' difficulties contributed to the deterioration, for which the assistance they received was deemed valuable but insufficient. The study's findings indicate that regional English teachers in Indonesian regions request more institutional and governmental support for their teaching. Moreover, cooperation between several sectors is required to improve their education during and after the pandemic.

This research focuses on the potential of the Communities of Practice (CoPs) that might be utilized to bring back the out-of-school youth (OSY) to formal schooling. Even with the attempts to increase enrollment in schools, some of the Filipino youths still have no access to education, and still have difficult life struggles that include loss of jobs and social exclusion. This study discusses the experience and issues with which OSY encounter in CoPs and comprises the valuable prospects for them further. The exploratory research question of the study depicts the experiences of OSY within CoPs in terms of the sense of belonging, social connectedness, and perceived upcoming possibilities. It also narrows down challenges like; they lack financial capital, or have lack of access to services. Subjects of the study were selected within the area of Barangay Nagtenga, Sta. Cruz, Ilocos Sur. Participants and observations were obtained through interviews, and fundamental trends such as isolation, restricted social relationships, and low earnings were identified. From the study, there is a recommended plan on how to bring about the CoPs that focus on the learning from peers, skills enhancement, and community activities for the enhancement of OSY. This research clearly brings out the significance that can be achieved through community-Based strategies in re-engaging and promoting out-of-school youth.

Han pasado siete décadas desde que, mediante la Comunidad Europea de Defensa (CED), sus seis fundadores pretendieran integrar sus fuerzas armadas en una defensa común. Hoy, aunque cada vez más responsables europeos aluden a su necesaria creación, esta realidad aún queda lejos. ¿Qué es lo que realmente impide avanzar hacia un modelo de defensa común europeo asentado en un ejército compartido? ¿Qué posición sostienen al respecto los principales actores –sociedad, partidos e instituciones– de la Unión Europea (UE)? Con diferentes aproximaciones metodológicas, este artículo pretende aportar evidencias empíricas sobre las complejidades sociales, partidistas e institucionales que dificultan su implementación. En la actualidad, aunque la UE no trabaja en la creación de un ejército común y único, acontecimientos como la invasión de Ucrania podrían poner su articulación en la agenda política, y ni la sociedad, ni las elites, ni los grandes partidos estarían en contra.

Persamaan garis lurus merupakan suatu materi pelajaran yang memiliki beberapa materi prasyarat yang harus dipahami sehingga peserta didik mengalami kesulitan dalam memahami materi tersebut. Salah satu penyebab peserta didik mengalami kesulitan dalam memahami materi persamaan garis lurus dikarenakan masih kurangnya pemahaman siswa terkait materi prasyarat yakni diagram kartesius, fungsi, dan aljabar. Pengabdian dilakukan di MTs Madani Alauddin Po-pao kelas VIII C yang bertujuan membantu peserta didik dalam memahami materi persamaan garis lurus dengan melakukan pendampingan kepada peserta didik. Pengabdian dilakukan oleh mahasiswa dan dosen pendidikan matematika yang sedang melaksanakan Praktik Lapangan Persekolahan (PLP)  2 sebanyak 8 kali pertemuan dengan melakukan pendampingan kepada peserta didik pada saat pembelajaran berlangsung maupun pengerjaan tugas pada saat akhir pertemuan baik secara personal dan secara berkelompok dalam mengerjakan lembar kerja peserta didik pada pertemuan ke 3 dan 4. Hasil pendampingan menunjukkan bahwa hasil belajar peserta didik meningkat yakni dilihat dari hasil posttest yang menunjukkan 27 peserta didik yang masuk pada kategori sedang hingga sangat tinggi yang mana dibandingkan dengan hasil pretest sebelumnya hanya 14 peserta didik yang masuk pada kategori sedang hingga sangat tinggi. Selain itu, setelah melakukan wawancara diketahui bahwa peserta didik menyukai pembelajaran yang dilakukan secara collaborative karena suasana kelas yang menarik dan tidak merasa canggung apabila terdapat sesuatu yang ingin dipertanyakan.

Cardiomyopathy is a condition that may have a genetic basis. It is a serious ailment because it affects almost half of the individuals who die suddenly in childhood, adolescence, or related to heart transplant procedures. The inheritance patterns of this disease can vary. For example, as described in the work on HCM and ARVC, they are inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. De novo mutations may involve genes related to myofilaments, Z-discs, components related to cellular calcium handling, or desmosomes, among others. However, detailed molecular aspects should be correlated with clinical features because changes within a single gene may be associated with diverse abnormalities. Depending on the manifestation of the action of certain allele changes, they may range from microscopic deviations to causing heart failure and impaired blood flow through other organs, thereby disrupting the functionality of the entire body, hindering daily life and lowering its quality. Currently, the analysis of the degree of interaction of genetic determinants in cardiomyopathy is becoming increasingly accessible due to modernization and improvement of tools in the field of diagnosing anomalies in gene sequences and expression. A more precise understanding of causative mutations and associated conditions may contribute to determining strategic points for the future regarding the most beneficial course of action in specific circumstances and evaluating the effectiveness of the steps taken in the long run. In addition to mutations typically causing cardiomyopathy, there are also mutations contributing to their development within the spectrum of other diseases. This includes the PRKAG2-related cardiac syndrome, associated with abnormal metabolism, Danon disease, mitochondrial disorders, ion channelopathies, or conduction disorders.

Cardiovascular diseases and carcer have a lot of things in common. Both of those conditions are responsible for most deaths in first world countries. Moreover, considerable amount of heart dysfunction complications, result from cancer treatment. For example, common anticancer drugs like anthracyclines are cardiotoxic. Administrations of these compounds may cause cardiotoxicity type I. Trastuzumab is also a compound that is used in cancer treatment, sometimes used concurrently with anthracyclines, and this drug is associated with cardiotoxicity type II. These drugs and many others have side effects ranging from mild to severe like irreversible cardiac damage that may result in heart failure. Cyclophosphamide is a chemotherapy medication used to treat various types of cancer and also can be useful to treat autoimmunological conditions. Radiotherapy, also known as radiation therapy, is a medical treatment that uses high doses of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. It is also a stressful treatment on the cardiovascular system to such degree, that the second most fatal complication after utilizing radiotherapy is heart dysfunction. Pre-existing cardiovascular disease can influence the treatment as well as the prognosis of the patient. Patients with former cardiovascular disease are associated with less treatment options, significantly higher likelihood of worse treatment outcomes and complications that often result in death.

With the continuous development of wireless energy transmission technology, the role of wireless rechargeable sensor networks (WRSNs) in smart grids has become more and more important. In this paper, after fully investigating the application of wireless energy transmission technology in smart grids, the solution vector of SFLA is discretized, and the IMSFLA model based on the hybrid frog jump algorithm is proposed to solve the wireless energy transmission planning problem in the smart grid. Finally, it is applied to the optimal design of the charging scheme of WRSNs, and the simulation results of the IMSFLA algorithm are compared and analyzed with those of the Taboo Search (TS) algorithm after exploring its wireless transmission performance. In terms of energy utilization, when the number of nodes is increased to 550, the energy utilization of IMSFLA algorithm is improved by 7% compared to TS algorithm, and when the number of nodes is increased to 550-800, the optimized results of TS algorithm deviates significantly more compared to IMSFLA algorithm. This indicates that the IMSFLA algorithm designed in this paper has a better effect on the optimization of the charging scheme of wireless rechargeable sensor networks, which is of great practical significance for improving the stability of the smart grid.

Published: October 2024

Career planning is of great importance to this special group of athletes, but most athletes do not have a better personal development plan for their professional sports career, so it is necessary to analyze the career development of soccer players. In this paper, firstly, we constructed the knowledge map of soccer players’ career development using the GAT mechanism and RNN model classification to construct the GGNN inference model and then analyzed the group characteristics of soccer players. Finally, the construction of a career development assistance system for soccer players was implemented. The main results are as follows: the cultural characteristics of soccer players from 2000 to 2020 found that the percentage of their university education increased by 13%. While the percentage of education in other stages decreased, especially the percentage of education in junior high school and elementary school decreased significantly by 11% and 33%. In the survey on the influencing factors of soccer players’ future re-selection, it was found that the influence of parents and friends on soccer players’ view of career choice reached 71%, of which 43% believed that their parents had the greatest influence on them, and 28% believed that it was their friends. Obviously, the model of soccer players’ career development that integrates knowledge graphs can better help soccer players implement career planning and improve the security of retired soccer players’ re-choice of career.

With the advancement of smart grid construction, higher requirements have been put forward for energy meter data, which need to realize real-time, accurate, efficient, safe, and economical data transmission. In this paper, an intelligent collection of energy meter data is designed to monitor energy meter data. The PCA algorithm is utilized to downscale the energy meter data, and the LMR algorithm is combined to monitor abnormal data from the meter. Based on the smart contract in blockchain technology, a parallel Pedersen commitment algorithm based on privacy protection is designed, a hybrid signature algorithm is created to ensure the secure transmission of energy meter data and a cluster load balancing model for energy meter data is also designed in combination with Hopfield neural network. The PCA-LMR algorithm identifies 95 anomalies of the data in 12 months and under the encryption of a smart contract. The packet loss rate of energy meter data is maintained at about 2%, and after optimizing the cluster load capacity of energy meter data using the Hopfield neural network, the cluster load variance value is about 1.84 in 20 h. Modern technology can improve the secure transmission of energy meter data and enhance its rapid response ability to ensure the economic benefits of the power system.
