INVESTIGATION ON THE USE OF MICROPILES FOR SUBSTITUTION OF DEFECTED PILES BY THE FINITE ELEMENT METHOD
Authors: Fattah Mohammed Y. , Al –Shakarchi Yousif J. , Kadhim Yasser M.
Published: March 2024

Micropiles are small diameter, cast in – place or grouted piles with steel pipes of (50 to 300 mm) diameters and driven by boring machine. Despite their small wall thickness, high bearing capacity of micropiles provides both axial and pullout resistance.nThis paper is directed to study the behavior of micropiles under static and dynamic loading conditions using the finite element method. The program OpenSees is used in the analysis, it is open – source program, provides information about the software architecture, access to the source code, and the development process. The program is based on the basic commands, which are written in Tcl (pronounced, "tickle"; tool command language). A model for groups of laterally loaded pipe piles in sand was adopted to study the effect of defects on their lateral performance. The geometric arrangement consisted of group series of 2, 4 and 6 equally spaced piles. Eight node brick elements are used to model the pile and the surrounding soil. It was concluded that the deflection of laterally loaded piles decreases when inserting steel micropiles beside the defect pile at two opposite directions. The increase in the group deflection is greater when the defected pile is modeled in the front row.

Authors: Hussein Besma Ismael
Published: March 2024

Unmodified and modified sunflower stalks were examined for adsorption as a replacement of expensive activated carbon which has been recognized as a highly effective adsorbent for the removal of heavy metal-ion.Two modes of operation were used, batch mode and fixed bed mode. In batch experiment the effect of sunflower stalk doses (2,3,4,5 and 6g/L) with constant initial copper concentration of 100 mg/L and constant particle size less than1.18 mm was studied.Batch kinetics experiments showed that the adsorption rate of copper ion by sunflower stalks was rapid and reached equilibrium within 60 min. Adsorption models Freundlich, Langmuir and Freundlich-Langmuir were fitted to experimental data and the goodness of their fit for adsorption was compared. In the fixed bed isothermal adsorption column, the effect of particle size (1.18-2.36, 2.36-4.75 and 4.75-9.00) mm, influent flow rate (2,4and 6) L/hr, bed depth (25, 30 and 35) cm and initial metal concentration (100 and 150) mg/L was studied. In addition, the modification of sunflower stalks could enhance their natural capacity. Sunflower stalks were modified by activation with nitric acid. The results of this study show that sunflower stalk, both modified and unmodified, is an efficient adsorbent for the removal of copper from waste water. Percent removal of copper reaches 100% when particle size (2.36-4.75)mm ,bed depth 35 cm and influent flow rate 4 L/hr.

Published: March 2024

Dilute emulsified oil in water (50-500 ppm) was removed by electrocoagulatin andelectroflotation process. Effects of various parameters such as current density, initial pH, sodiumchloride concentration, different electrodes material, gap, temperature, electrodes surface area, andtreatment time on the removal efficiency were studied in batch and continuous mode.It was foundthat the higher removal efficiency (99%) achieved at pH of 7.5 for Al/Al electrodes while for ironelectrodes at pH 8 in the batch mode. The removal efficiency increased and the treatment time decreased with increasing the currentdensity and decreasing the gap distance between electrodes.The removal efficiency was (99%) at 10 min for Al/Al electrodes, (98.6%) at 12 min for Al/St.St.electrodes, and (97.4%) at 12 min for Fe/St.St. electrodes. The present results showed that the best temperature was 60ºC .The best concentration of sodiumchloride was found to be (400 ppm) when the oil concentration was (500 ppm). Also it was foundthat a vertical Al/Al electrode was the best type with an electrical energy consuming (3.36kWh/m3). In the continuous experiments, the removal efficiency enhanced with increasing flow rate. Amultiple linear regression model was used in order to relate experimental data to a statistical modelwith a correlation coefficient of (0.909) and variance (0.827)

Authors: Doos Qasim M. , Hussein Suhair G.
Published: March 2024

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid state joining method for metal and is widely used for
 
Al-Alloys. In the present work ,temperature distributions were investigated for Aluminum alloy
 
(7008), the effect of the main welding parameters such as rotational speed (tool speed) and liner
 
speed (welding speed) on the temperature distribution were investigated .The results show that the
 
rotational speed has a strong effect on the temperature distribution and this effect increases with
 
temperature increase, but the linear speed has an (inverse proportion) with the temperature increase.
 
This effect was less than the rotational speed. Peak temperature was estimated theoretically by
 
using (Bakingham ) theorem to derivate the relationship between the dimensionless heat input and
 
dimensionless peak temperature. In this study a mechanical test (tensile test) for welded specimen
 
was investigated to study the effect of temperature distribution on the mechanical properties of the
 
alloy, results show that Aluminum alloy (7008) was weldable on the (FSW) process and obtain an
 
maximum weld efficiency (81%) with parameters (880 rpm) rotational speed and (1 mm/sec)
 
welding speed. By comparing test results with peak temperature to the Al-Alloy the obtained result
 
was that the welding process is successful when welding temperature be (75-80%) of melting point
 
of the used material.

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a relatively new welding process that may have significantadvantages compared to the fusion processes as follow: joining of conventionally non-fusionweldable alloys, reduced distortion and improved mechanical properties of weldable alloysjoints due to the pure solid-state joining of metals. In this paper, a two-dimensional modelbased on finite element analysis is used to study the thermal history and thermomechanicalprocess in the butt-welding of aluminum alloys. The model incorporates the mechanicalreaction of the tool and thermomechanical process of the welded material. The heat sourceincorporated in the model involves the friction between the material and the probe and theshoulder. The calculation result also shows that preheat to the workpiece before process isbeneficial to FSW. The effects of welding parameters such as preheating (100, 200) °C,rotational speed (960, 1200) rpm and linear speed (110, 155, 195) mm/min on the distributionof temperature of Al Alloy will be studied.

Objectives: To evaluate the e ect of various medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) fixation techniques on patellar pressure compared with the native knee. Methods: A finite element model of the patellofemoral joint consisting of approximately 30,700 nodes and 22,200 elements was created from computed tomography scans of 24 knees with chronic lateral patellar instability. Patellar contact pressures and maximum MPFL graft stress at five positions of flexion (0º, 30º, 60º, 90º, and 120º) were analyzed in three types of MPFL reconstruction (MPFLr): (1) static/anatomic, (2) dynamic, using the adductor magnus tendon (AMT) as the femoral fixation, and (3) dynamic, using the quadriceps tendon as the attachment (medial quadriceps tendon-femoral ligament (MQTFL) reconstruction). Results: In the static/anatomic technique, the patellar contact pressures at 0º and 30º were greater than in the native knee. As in a native knee, the contact pressures at 60º, 90º, and 120º were very low. The maximum MPFL graft stress at 0º and 30º was greater than in a native knee. However, the MPFL graft was loose at 60º, 90º, and 120º, meaning it had no tension. In the dynamic MPFLr using the AMT as a pulley, the patellar contact pressures were like those of a native knee throughout the entire range of motion. However, the maximum stress of the MPFL graft at 0º was less than that of a native ligament. Yet, the maximum MPFL graft stress was greater at 30º than in a native ligament. After 30º of flexion, the MPFL graft loosened, similarly to a native knee. In the dynamic MQTFL reconstruction, the maximum patellar contact pressure was slightly greater than in a normal knee. The maximum stress of the MPFL graft was much greater at 0º and 30º than that of a native MPFL. After 30º of flexion, the MQPFL graft loosened just as in the native knee. Conclusions: The patellar contact pressures after the dynamic MPFLr were like those of the native knee, whereas a static reconstruction resulted in greater pressures, potentially increasing the risk of patellofemoral osteoarthritis in the long term. Therefore, the dynamic MPFLr might be a safer option than a static reconstruction from a biomechanical perspective.

Authors: Kshetree Arun Kumar
Published: March 2024

Teachers are the change agents of the society and nation and they always have to update themselves with the changes in time, technology and situation. They have to learn all the time. Many teachers are not aware of the teacher learning processes and they are not aware of the various opportunities of teacher learning and professional development. Teacher professional development is not just the product of formal teacher trainings organized by the authorities outside but a product of continuous teaching learning activities of the teachers themselves. The study was conducted by purposively selecting 30 secondary school English teachers of Rupandehi District using a set of questionnaires. This article aims at analysing the teachers' views regarding how teaching and trainings help their professional learning and tries to highlight some of the most common and useful strategies for the process of teacher learning and teachers’ professional development. As most of the strategies presented below do not cost extra fund to apply in the day to day life, the teachers need to use these activities in their day to day life so that they can improve their practices which will ultimately improve the education. It was found that the teachers were not much aware of the fact that they can learn much by teaching and they can develop their practices of teaching through teacher trainings they attended. Not only this, the teachers were found to be not much willing for their professional development as well.
Exploring Learners' Diversity in English Language Classrooms
Authors: Bhandari Bhim Lal
Published: March 2024

This study aimed at exploring the diversity of students in English language classes. The technique of customizing classes to each student's unique interests, needs, and strengths is known as differentiated instruction (DI). It is a student-centered strategy that raises learners' engagement levels while addressing concerns of diversity with multiple teaching approaches and techniques. I adopted the social constructivism theory and interpretive inquiry as a research method to examine the diversity of learners. To achieve the purpose of the study, four research participants, two teachers and two students were selected from a public school in Rupandehi. I used a series of observations and unstructured interviews to gather the data from the participants. The diversity of the students was examined in terms of their performance, personality, and gender-based discrimination in class. This study explored that the teachers employed differentiated instruction to some extent in the English classroom by creating context, using group work, pair work, etc. However, they often ignored slow, shy and weak learners and frequently designed classroom activities for talented and extroverted learners. The study can contribute to English language teachers with insightful ideas to address and apply learners' diversities through differentiated instruction in classrooms.
Modeling the Impact of Community Awareness on the Dynamics of Cardiovascular Diseases
Authors: Gupta Sagar
Published: March 2024

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is caused due to high blood pressure, diabetes, poor diet and lack of exercises. Awareness about cause and preventive measures of the disease play a key role to control the prevalence of CVD in the communities. In this article a non-linear mathematical model is proposed and analyzed in which the number of CVD people in the communities is controlled by the awareness disseminated through the word of mouth. Aware people change their lifestyle that includes daily physical exercises, taking healthy food timely and live stress-free life etc. thereby preventing the onset of CVD and its complications. The awareness generation number R0 is calculated and it is found that the system undergoes transcritical bifurcation. Equilibria analysis and stability analysis are performed. Numerical analyses are performed to validate the analytical ﬁndings. The analysis of the model and the outcomes reveal that the density of the CVD people can be signiﬁcantly reduced by community awareness through word of mouth.

Cultural Confrontations and its Impacts in Henry James' Daisy Miller
Authors: Dhananjaya Baskota
Published: March 2024

Everyone stands on his / her own ground absorbing own shadow. This shadow always stands amid us and it has more or less influences on our being. This shadow, in fact, is culture; the set of thoughts, rules, norms, and values that the people assimilate in the particular place and time; and this most ambiguous term is culture. As a matter of fact, literary study is understood as 'cultural study'. The most inevitable issue of culture is its differences. The differences appear in the disguise of shock, clash, collision, confrontation, differences and cultural dimensions

This article proposes the bicultural study of America and Europe through the American visitors in Europe and cultural clash in Henry James’s narrative novella Daisy Miller. The characters of this novella young Daisy Miller, her brother Randolph Miller and her mother Mrs. Miller culturally confront while visiting Europe. They embody both tradition and translation; and fail to assimilate themselves in the 'host land'. Within tradition, they represent American culture, visible in the kind of cultural proximity they establish, as Daisy establishes with Winterbourne. Within translation, they try to reflect European culture, symbolized by the sort of affective relationship they keep, as Daisy keeps with young Italian Giovanelli. As migrant selves, they are able to conciliate Schenectady and Vevey, they transform tradition and translation into cultural identities that mutually nurture one another in spite the fact that they are judged vaguely through the European eyes.
Walking in the Forest: Understanding Spaces Through Cartography in the New-Generation Malayalam Cinema
Authors: Kavya E.M.
Published: March 2024

Cinema as an audio-visual medium is vested in the significant and realistic portrayal of multiple spaces through the depiction of the city, countryside, houses, buildings, forest, etc. Malayalam cinema has a long history of dealing with forest spaces from livelihood to spaces of resort. This paper is an attempt to understand the new-generation Malayalam cinema’s engagement with space, especially forest spaces. It argues that new-generation Malayalam cinema tries to map forest spaces using the subjective understanding of the inhabitants with the help of narrative cartography. Walking in the forest will be the major technique in mapping the spaces. It also tries to unravel how the “representational spaces” (Lefebvre 38) have been delineated in the “representations of space” (38) through the subjective understanding of the “spatial practices” (38) in the movies. Human traversal through space in time mapping the spaces by following subjective histories and oral narratives will be looked upon. A detailed analysis of two movies, Churuli (2021) by Lijo Jose Pellissery and Virus (2018) by Aashiq Abu will be utilized in theorizing the “diegetic” (Steffen 25) space of the movies, taking the “natural space” (Lefebvre 30) of the forest into consideration. Key concepts in Spatial Literary Studies, importantly Henry Lefebvre’s The Production of Space and the idea of “heterotopia” (Foucault 24) introduced by Michel Foucault in his essay “Of Other Spaces: Utopias and Heterotopias” will be utilized in comprehending these movies.

Anak sekolah memiliki peran krusial sebagai penentu masa depan suatu bangsa. Menyelamatkan anak berarti melindungi dan memastikan kelangsungan bangsa. Fokus utama pembangunan bangsa adalah manusia, oleh karena itu, persiapan yang matang bagi generasi muda sangatlah penting. Sarapan pagi, kegiatan mengonsumsi makanan pada pagi hari antara pukul 06.00 hingga 10.00, memiliki peran vital dalam memenuhi 15-30% kebutuhan gizi harian (Putra, 2022). Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sarapan teratur bukan hanya menjamin gizi yang cukup, tetapi juga meningkatkan konsentrasi belajar dan daya serap pelajaran di sekolah (Novianti et al., 2022). Selain itu, rutinitas sarapan juga mempengaruhi stabilnya kadar glukosa darah, berdampak pada kesiapan belajar dan kesejahteraan anak (Rahmiwati, 2014). Namun, kenyataan di lapangan mengindikasikan masih banyak anak yang tidak melakukan sarapan, lebih memilih jajanan sekolah dengan gizi yang kurang memadai. Edukasi mengenai pentingnya sarapan dan pemeriksaan kesehatan berkala menjadi solusi yang relevan. Pendekatan ini diharapkan dapat mengubah pengetahuan, sikap, dan perilaku anak-anak (Novianti et al., 2022). Kolaborasi antara keluarga, sekolah, dan masyarakat menjadi kunci dalam mencapai tujuan ini. Edukasi yang tepat dapat memotivasi anak-anak untuk menjadikan sarapan pagi sebagai kebiasaan positif. Dengan memahami nutrisi yang tepat dan perawatan kesehatan berkala, anak-anak akan tumbuh lebih baik, berdampak pada kemajuan bangsa
The Overview of Indonesia Coal Bed Methane Resources
Authors: Nursanto Edy , Rijalul Haq Shofa , Inmarlinianto Inmarlinianto
Published: March 2024

Coal Bed Methane (CBM) is generated by coal layers, there is a preceding process, which is the formation of coal (coalification). Coalification begins with the burial of organic material originating from plants. The burial, lasting hundreds of millions of years, results in increasing temperatures and pressures, causing physical and chemical changes to the organic material. Methane gas, the largest component of CBM, is formed. Two processes: biogenic and thermogenic. In the early stages of coalification, biogenic methane gas is produced as a byproduct of the activities of decomposing microorganisms (anaerobic bacteria), similar to what occurs in the decomposition of organic waste.  Only about 5 to 20 percent is stored within coal. There are four mechanisms for gas storage in coal: absorption, adsorption, free gas, and gas dissolved in water.  Among these four mechanisms, adsorption is the most significant, accounting for 98 percent of the stored CBM in a combined system of micropores (coal matrix) and cleats. Coal Bed Methane resources in Indonesia can be found across South Kalimantan, East Kalimantan, Sumatra, and Java.
Gold Extraction Process with Pre-Ox Sample and Aachen Assisted Leaching (AAL) using Running Aachen
Authors: Pangestu Dedi , Wahyuningsih Tri
Published: March 2024

The Center for Mineral and Coal Testing is an institution that works in the field of research services on mining and mineral processing. In the mineral processing research currently being carried out there is a research project related to increasing the efficiency of the leaching process using the Aachen Reactor. The samples used in this research were refractory gold samples. The problem of reducing the effectiveness of gold leaching is that there are minerals that are still included in the associated minerals, therefore a pre-treatment process is needed to remove these associated minerals. The Aachen reactor will help increase the efficiency of the leaching process by increasing Dissolve Oxygen levels to 30 ppm. In this study, two samples were used for comparison, namely the Pre-Ox sample and the Aachen Assisted Leaching (AAL) sample.
Article Review: Henri Fayol, Practitioner and Theoretician - Revered and Reviled by Mildred Golden Pryor and Sonia Taneja
Authors: H. O. C. Gunasekara
Published: March 2024

The primary objective of this paper is to review an article titled “Henri Fayol, practitioner and theoretician - revered and reviled” written by Mildred Golden Pryor and Sonia Taneja (2010). Pryor and Taneja (2010) critically evaluate Fayol’s theory within the contemporary business context. They argued that Fayol’s theories are valuable and relevant for organizational leaders because Fayol was a practitioner who documented theoriesthat worked best for him and his co-workers. Even though, there are a few criticisms on Fayol’s theories still his theories are applicable with some advancement as a basement for the management implications for the contemporary business world. Pryor and Taneja (2010) compare Fayol’s work with the contribution of other scholars namely, Follett, Mintzberg, Taylor, and Porter’s, while evaluating the original and current interpretation and application of Fayol’s theories. Finally, Pryor and Taneja (2010) appreciate Fayol’s contribution specially the 14 principles of management due to its more optimistic features. Therefore, it is necessary for the students, teachers, and practitioners to understand the relevance of the theories and be able to utilize, Fayol’s principles and theories for improving the organizational performance and further studies.

BACKGROUND

Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) treatment consists of using valves for drainage, as it is for hydrocephalus in general. Despite this, complications can occur, putting the patient at risk, and neurological monitoring is crucial.

OBSERVATIONS

A 61-year-old male, who had been diagnosed with NPH 3 years prior and was being treated with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt with a programmable valve, presented to the emergency department because of a traumatic brain injury due to a fall from standing height. No previous complications were reported. He had an altered intracranial pressure (ICP) waveform in the emergency room when monitored with the brain4care device, with a P2/P1 ratio of 1.6. Imaging helped to confirm shunt dysfunction. Revision surgery normalized the ratio to 1.0, and the patient was discharged. Upon return after 14 days, an outpatient analysis revealed a ratio of 0.6, indicating improvement.

LESSONS

In selected cases of NPH, noninvasive ICP waveform morphology analysis can be effective as a diagnostic aid, as well as in the pre- and postsurgical follow-up, given the possibility of comparing the values of ICP preoperatively and immediately postoperatively and the outpatient P2/P1 ratio, helping to manage these patients.
Catholic Pastoral and Prophetic Responses to a Secularizing Landscape
Authors: Sullivan John
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this article is to offer a retrieval of some major themes in the writings of Ro­mano Guardini and Ivan Illich, two twentieth century Catholic priests who responded to secularization in ways that could be described as both pastoral and prophetic. Guardini tended towards a more pas­toral emphasis, while Illich’s stance was more prophetic. Guardini exemplified a Catholic way to bridge the gap often experienced between faith, life and culture. Illich demonstrated how a Catholic can ad­dress their culture in a way that is both challenging and fertile and does so in penetrating observations about contemporary secular professions and preoccupations. The article has three parts. In part one, I sketch a range of responses to Christianity that have emerged in an increasingly secular culture, as well as the types of response that Christians have made to such a culture. In parts two and three a repre­sentative sample of the writings of Guardini and Illich is drawn on and analysed, together with a range of secondary literature on Guardini and Illich, in order to explain the nature and the role of four key themes (in each case) within their overall outlook. For Guardini, in part two, these are Catholic worldview, lit­urgy, providence and cultural critique. For Illich, in part three, I examine his notion of the mission of the Church, his treatment of schooling, his understanding that modernity is a perversion of Christianity, and his advocacy of friendship as a healing and liberating mode of engaging the world

Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, GONYUKOVA Liliya
Published: March 2024

The article examines the role of social entrepreneurship in civil society in modern Ukraine. The purpose of the article was to identify the role of social entrepreneurship in the interaction of the state and society and to determine the ways of development of social entrepreneurship in Ukraine. The impact of social entrepreneurship on society is analyzed, and its role in solving social problems is determined. The need for developing relations between the state and society through the prism of social entrepreneurship is proven, and the main ways of improving the corresponding interaction are proposed. The ways of developing social entrepreneurship in Ukraine are proposed. It was established that in modern conditions, there needs to be a sufficient level of development of social entrepreneurship in Ukraine, which, in the presence of interaction between society and representatives of the authorities, can become a tool for solving social problems. It is emphasized that the connection between social entrepreneurship and public administration is dynamic and constantly developing. It has been proven that in today’s conditions, the connection between social entrepreneurship and public administration is becoming stronger and stronger. This is explained by shared goals for promoting social and economic development, solving social problems, and increasing well-being. It was determined that in modern conditions, mechanisms of interaction between the state and society in the field of social entrepreneurship could take the following forms: financing of activities (individual projects); tax benefits, informational and advisory support; creation of a favorable business environment; establishment of partnership relations; social responsibility of business providing social services (products).

نشأة علم اللغة العام بين البحث العلمي والسياسة السائدة
Authors: نسيم بتول عباس
Published: March 2024

لفتت انتباهي أمور تتعلق بتأسيس علم اللغة العام وازدهاره ، من جهة ، وبالصراعات السياسية والعسكرية من جهة أخرى ، وتوافقهما تاريخا وغايات ، مما دفعني ذلك إلى البحث في هذه القضية ، محاولة فهمها كما هي ، وفي التوصل إلى ما أراه مناسبا فيها ، وهو أن علم اللغة العام في أول تأسيسه كان ثمرة الطموح السلطوي لبعض الدول الأوربية ، ونزعتهم في السيطرة على العالم ، والصراع الطويل بين الدول المتقدمة في تلك السيطرة ، والذي بدا واضحا في الحربين العالميتين الأولى والثانية ، وما أفرزته من دمار شامل ، وخسائر بشرية ومادية ، يندى لها جبين الإنسانية على مر الأحقاب والأزمان .

      ولا شك في أن اللغة هي إحدى وسائل السيطرة ، وتحقيق طموح الهيمنة ، إذا ما علمنا أن اللغة مقوم من مقومات الوطن ، ومفردة من مفردات المواطنة ، وهوية المجتمعات .
