The Correlation of Heat Tolerance Coefficient (HTC) and Temperature Humidity Index (THI) with Milk Production of Dairy Cows in Bangun Lestari Farm, Tulungagung
Authors: Rachmawati Achadiah , Taufiq Muhammad Ni’am , Arif Ani Atul
Published: July 2024

Determining the relationship between environmental adaptability and milk production across various parities using HTC and THI values was the aim of this study. Purposive sampling was employed to choose thirty dairy cows of parity 1 and 2, for the study. For this investigation, a case study was employed. The temperatures and humidity of the barn environment were used to measure the THI value, which was determined by the HTC value, the milk production of mothers with varying parities, and the rectal temperature and respiratory frequency. Research results demonstrated a negative connection between the two independent variables—the THI and HTC values—and milk production at parities 1 and 2. This suggests that either environmental stressors or higher HTC or THI values resulted in lower milk production. At parity 1, there was a poor correlation, and at parity 2, a moderate correlation between the HTC value and milk production. The correlation coefficients for parity 1 and parity 2 were, respectively, r = 0.410, R2 = 0.168, and r = 0.370, R2 = 0.137. There was just a slight association observed between the THI value and milk production at parities 1 and 2. The correlation coefficient for parity 1 was (r = 0.220; R2 = 0.049), but the correlation coefficient for parity 2 was (r = 0.227; R2 = 0.51). According to the study's findings, milk production in parities 1 and 2 is only marginally correlated with HTC and THI values.

Authors:   , Armani Narsis
Published: July 2024

This study explored the effect of gender, self-efficacy, motivation, psychological distress, and studying psychology on the level of empathy of university students in Lebanon. A total of 310 students and graduates participated in the survey through an online questionnaire through social media platforms using the Basic Empathy Scale (BES), the General Self Efficacy Scale (GSE), Academic Motivation Scale (AMS), and the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K-10), comparing first year and last year undergraduate psychology students to first year and last year non-psychology students. Correlations, Analyses of variance, and regression analyses were used to determine the predictors of empathy as well as compare the various groups on empathy and psychological distress. The results showed that psychology students have higher empathy from the onset and that this does not increase throughout the psychology education and that women have higher empathy than men and were found to be more intrinsically motivated to study psychology. Motivation for studying psychology had no effect on empathy gained. General self-efficacy was found to be positively correlated with cognitive empathy but negatively correlated with affective empathy. Higher psychological distress was associated with higher affective empathy but was not predictive of cognitive empathy. Finally, graduates were found to have significantly lower psychological distress than students regardless of major.
Contributions of Perceived Parental Religiosity, Perceived Positive Parenting Practices and Religiosity to Psychological Well-being of Emerging Lebanese Adults
Authors:   , Najjar Grace
Published: July 2024

Little is known in research on how parental religiosity affects parenting practices, children’s religiosity and their well-being. Many studies have examined the relation between parents’ religiosity and parenting in emerging adults, however they neither included the child’s religiosity as a possible factor affecting well-being nor have used samples representing different religious affiliations: Christians, Muslims, Druze and Non-Religious. The present study explored the contributions of perceived parental religiosity, perceived positive parenting practices and emerging adults’ religiosity to emerging Lebanese adults’ psychological well-being. A potential mediating role of perceived positive parenting practices was predicted. An empirical quantitative survey design was conducted using a sample of 198 emerging adults distributed between Christians, Muslims, Druze and Non-Religious. Correlational and multi-linear regression analyses were done. No mediation was found between perceived positive parenting practices, perceived parents’ religiosity, emerging adults’ religiosity and their well-being. Maternal parenting practices were the only contributors to emerging adults’ well-being. Perceived Maternal and Paternal religiosity were positively correlated to emerging adults’ religiosity but negatively correlated to perceived positive parenting practices. Religiosity was not found to relate to well-being. The results were explained in terms of how religiosity was transmitted to emerging adults, the symbolic versus literal interpretation of religion and cultural factors affecting parents’ openness to change and flexibility.

Published: July 2024

The coexistence of Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is very rare, as to date only a handful of cases have been reported. Though both the entities come under the spectrum of histiocytic disorders, the patient outcomes are very different for each one of them. RDD is a benign disorder with often a self-limiting course; whereas LCH has a more aggressive outcome. The pathobiology of this rare co-occurrence is still unknown and the topic of several theories. Case presentation: We report a case of a 2-year-old female patient who presented with fever, pallor, lymphadenopathy and neck pain. X-ray radiograph and Computed Tomography (CT) scan chest showed multiple lytic lesions on vertebra. The biopsy finding of lymph node and bone marrow were consistent with a combined RDD-LCH disease. Conclusion: Combined RDD-LCH presentation is very rare and it’s pathophysiology is still elusive and a topic of numerous conjectures.

Authors: Ganguly Shantanu , Pandey Nivedita
Published: July 2024

Academic integrity is a set of ethical ideals and values that guide the behavior of individuals in academic and educational settings. It encompasses honesty, trustworthiness, fairness, and a commitment to upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct in the quest for knowledge, learning, and research. Academic integrity is essential in maintaining the trustworthiness, reputation, and effectiveness of educational institutions and scholarly communities. Whereas, AI, or Artificial Intelligence, is a broad field of computer science that focuses on creating frameworks, software, or machines that can perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence. These tasks include problem-solving, learning from experience, understanding natural language, recognizing patterns, and making choices. AI systems aim to mimic or replicate human cognitive functions, and they can range from simple rule-based systems to highly complex, autodidactic neural networks. AI can significantly impact academic integrity and research in both positive and potentially challenging ways.

Energy-aware design of battery-less IoT devices
Authors:   , Šabović Adnan
Published: July 2024

The Internet of Things is a concept used to connect embedded objects to the Internet, enabling billions of tiny devices to cooperate and communicate with each other while performing different application tasks. Currently, most of these devices rely on batteries as the main power source. These batteries can provide a stable power supply, but even when rechargeable, they are short-lived, lasting at most a few years. They contain toxic chemical components that can be harmful to the environment. Tiny battery-less IoT devices that depend on harvested energy from their environment provide a promising alternative for a more sustainable IoT vision. Using this approach, battery-less devices harvest available energy from different environmental sources (e.g., solar, kinetic, Radio Frequency (RF) energy) and store it in small capacitors. These capacitors act as energy storage, and compared to batteries, they are smaller and lost more than a decade, thanks to their ability to handle a large number of charge cycles. However, they have significantly lower energy density, storing less energy in a given volume, which can be critical for applications that require long-term energy supply and storage. Also, battery-less IoT devices operate in an unpredictable and dynamic energy harvesting environment, which together with the small energy storage, results in intermittent on-off behavior of the device. To effectively use battery-less IoT devices, the applications running on them should be able to properly handle their intermittency. Measuring and understanding the current consumption and execution time of different tasks of the application is one of the most important steps in achieving this. Conventional computing models and static sequential applications cannot handle such behavior, as they cannot guarantee forward progress, relying only on volatile memory, and assuming a stable energy supply during execution. This problem can be solved with task-based models, where each task performs some atomic function, and its output is saved in non-volatile memory after it successfully completes, including energy awareness as a most important factor in helping to avoid power failures and maintain forward progress. Advancements in processor efficiency, sensors, as well as low-power communication and computing, unlock the possibility for direct deployment for a wide range of traditional and intelligent applications on battery-less devices, enabling them to play an important role as an extreme edge device in an IoT ecosystem.

APPLICATION OF COGNITIVE BEAHVIORAL THERAPY FOR TREATMENT OF SEXUAL OCD
Authors: Rana Madiha
Published: July 2024

Our population growth problem is manifesting itself in physical and mental health issues which are growing at a steady pace.  Viruses have various mutations, so is the case with mental health issues. As a clinical psychologist and practitioner, I observe a wide range of such variations. Mostly, individuals with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) can be characterized within the domain of fear due to contamination from dirt, fear of death, religious beliefs etc. There is a considerable group of people within those who also deal with unwanted sexual thoughts, impulses and illusions. The cultures that are conservative in nature have people who  hold certain kind of beliefs or intrusive thoughts which is considered a taboo [1].  People don’t want to talk about it due to conditioning. As opposed to, if someone shares such thinking, the society at large, and the close associates such as friends and family stigmatize them, they are made to feel guilty and often labeled as a “wrongdoer.” This is as a result of lack of awareness [2].
DESIGN AND EVALUATION OF PIEZOELECTRIC-BASED PASSIVE DAMPING FOR HIGH FREQUENCY NOISE SUPPRESSION
Authors: Uygun Mert , Yavuz Akif , Şen Osman Taha
Published: July 2024

This study focuses on developing a piezoelectric-based passive damper to mitigate high- frequency brake noise. The research investigates different designs of piezoelectric transducer elements to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy using a mass sliding belt test system that simulates real disc brake noise mechanisms. Integration of these electrical elements into the existing mass-sliding belt system is investigated. Five distinct piezoelectric transducer designs (Design-1, Design-2, Design-3, Design-4 and Design-5), each with unique technical specifications, boundary conditions, and scaling, are developed to suppress high frequency noise from friction-induced vibrations. To facilitate effective selection, a scoring method is employed, identifying Design-5 with a cylindrical model as the most efficient transducer design. Evaluation criteria include energy generation, compressive strength, operating temperature, weight, ergonomic usability, cost, and safety. Analyses are performed to assess potential stress-induced damage to the piezoelectric material resulting from the selected design. This study aims to contribute a novel perspective to noise reduction techniques and successfully demonstrates the integration of a piezoelectric transducer and an RLC circuit into a functional system.
Influence of Process Parameters on Kerf Width in Abrasive Waterjet Machining of GFRP Composites
Authors: Kaptan Arslan , Mercan Serdar , Kartal Fuat
Published: July 2024

This study investigates the influence of process parameters on kerf width in abrasive waterjet (AWJ) machining of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites. The experimental analysis was conducted using a Taguchi L27 orthogonal array to optimize the machining parameters: pressure, feed rate, abrasive flow rate, and standoff distance. The top kerf width (TKW) and bottom kerf width (BKW) were measured to evaluate the impact of these parameters. Results indicate that higher pressures and abrasive flow rates generally increase both TKW and BKW due to enhanced material removal rates. Conversely, increased feed rates tend to reduce kerf widths, highlighting the importance of optimizing cutting speeds. Standoff distance exhibited a less pronounced effect but still influenced the kerf widths. The optimal parameters for minimizing TKW and BKW were identified, providing valuable insights for improving precision and efficiency in AWJ machining of GFRP composites. These findings contribute to the development of more effective manufacturing practices for high-performance composite materials.

Published: July 2024

Este trabalho objetiva analisar a representação de professores alfabetizadores de escolas públicas municipais sobre a escrita acadêmica. A construção teórica parte da Teoria das Representações Sociais (TRS) de Moscovici (1976; 1988; 2001; 2003) até os conceitos de objetivação e ancoragem abordados por Jodelet (2001) e Doise (2001). Utilizou-se a técnica da entrevista semiestruturada com cinco professoras da rede municipal de ensino de Fortaleza-CE. Os resultados apontaram que as professoras representam a escrita acadêmica como um objeto distante, estruturado e desejado. Objetivam-na como algo distante da prática docente. Para esses sujeitos, a escrita acadêmica contém uma estruturae conhecê-la é essencial para se familiarizar com os gêneros acadêmicos. Destacou-se o desejo de buscar conhecimento, e ainda, de aliar sua escrita ao que é vivenciado na prática. Essa autoimagem de professoras desejantes por saber e escrever, se unifica com a vaidade, orgulho e satisfação pessoal representados pela escrita acadêmica.

Authors: Rodrigues Francisco Igor Alves , Rodrigues Acássio Paiva , Leite Luciana Rodrigues
Published: July 2024

A didática é mais que o ensino de técnicas e mecanismos, é o estudo do processo de ensino-aprendizagem em todas suas dimensões. O trabalho foi desenvolvido com cinco graduandos da disciplina de Didática Geral em um curso de licenciatura em Artes em uma Instituição de Ensino Superior. De método qualitativo (Minayo, 2001), preocupa-se com a ressignificação dos motivos, emoções, crenças e valores que não podem ser quantificados por meio de variáveis numéricas. Deste modo, tem como objetivo relacionar a Didática teórica com uma aula nada ortodoxia, trabalhando com um tema singular, o céu, e assim, desenvolver uma relação entre a prática desenvolvida, com o ensino, possibilitando a reflexão crítica dos estudantes sobre a didática, saberes docentes e o ser professor (a), a partir de suas representações do que significaria o céu. Deste modo, conclui-se que a didática possibilita construção de uma aula reflexiva, centrada no diálogo entre professor(a) e estudante.

Third, the animist belief of the Sea Tribe people who still believe that a person who always does evil during his life and then dies, his spirit will be incarnated in the form of an animal that comes out of his grave. Fourth, the role of religious leaders for the Orang Laut community in the Riau Islands is a force to encourage development in the Sea Tribe community, especially as a bridge of communication with local governments. Fifth, the presence of Sea Tribe shamans who are trusted by some local Malay communities makes the presence of the Sea Tribe community acceptable and can gradually blend into the local community.
