Smart heat-health action plans: A programmatic, progressive and dynamic framework to address urban overheating
Authors: Ghosh Aveek
Published: October 2024

Cities stand at the focal point of vulnerability to heat waves (HWs) as they threaten urban livability and sustainability. National, regional, and local heat-health action plans (HHAPs) are vital for combating HWs and are increasingly crucial as adaptation measures to extreme heat. The present article highlights the most recent development on the working mechanism of HHAPs, its contemporary challenges, barriers to it and a range of operational heat management and planning strategies. It introduces the concept of 'smartness' to the existing mechanism of HHAPs which holds a significant potential to be intelligent, explicit and dynamic to address the growing and multifaceted impacts of extreme heat. It emphasizes urgent priorities including long-term heat planning, multisectoral heat-early warning systems, building urban heat resilience and recommends the application of eight core elements endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO) for effective implementation of HHAPs. Collaboration among meteorological, epidemiological, public health, and urban planning experts is essential for addressing the multidimensional challenges of extreme heat.
Forced dynamic analysis of functionally graded beams under harmonic moving loads on elastic foundation with the finite element method
Authors: Zemri Amine , Mechab Ismail
Published: October 2024

Introduction/purpose: This paper presents a numerical study of the forced dynamic behavior of a functionally graded beam subjected to a harmonically varying transversely concentrated moving force using a higher-order shear deformation theory. Methods: The governing equations are derived using Hamilton's principle. These equations are then transformed into the weak form using the Galerkin method. The problem is solved using the finite element method by developing a three-node finite element with four degrees of freedom per node. The Newmark beta method is chosen for the time integration and the Gauss method for the spatial integration. Results: The effects of several parameters were investigated, including the slenderness ratio, the material index, foundation stiffness, velocity and the frequency of the moving load. Good agreement was observed with the results obtained from the literature. Conclusion: This study illustrates the importance of using a higher order theory in the case of short beams and clearly shows the change in the behavior of the FGM beam as a function of different parameters.
Towards the reliable chemical stability testing of the single base gunpowder using a microcalorimetry method
Authors: Đokić Milan , Bajić Zoran , Ignjatović Vladimir
Published: October 2024

Introduction/purpose: Gunpowder is a type of explosive material (EM), a mixture of chemical compounds capable of releasing their potential energy in a very fast exothermic chemical reaction. This paper investigates the single base gunpowder samples. Methods: Microcalorimetry (MC), or heat flow calorimetry (HFC), is the only modern method that monitors the direct cause of autoignition - the rate of heat release, which is a key factor for gunpowder storage explosive safety. It is based on high-sensitivity calorimeters which allow monitoring of chemical reactions at low speeds. The microcalorimeter "TAM III" was used and the method given by the NATO standard STANAG 4582. A very reliable result was obtained on the chemical stability of the observed single base gunpowder samples, as well as an assessment of its behavior in the next 10 years. Results: The thermal activity of gunpowder depends on several factors, the most important of which are: chemical composition, size and shape of the gunpowder grain, the degree of decomposition of the gunpowder, storage conditions, etc. Namely, it is a much more exact and consistent indicator of the chemical stability of gunpowder compared to the critical diameter. Conclusion: The MC method should be used both for monitoring the chemical stability of gunpowder during storage and for the prediction of the service life of gunpowder.

Authors: Al Azies Harun , Akrom Muhamad , Budi Setyo , Alfa Trisnapradika Gustina , Nur Safitri Aprilyani
Published: October 2024

This study investigates the effectiveness of machine learning techniques, specifically penalized regression models Ridge Regression, Lasso Regression, and Elastic Net Regression in predicting methanol space-time yield (STY) from CO2 hydrogenation data. Using a dataset derived from Cu-based catalyst research, the study implemented a comprehensive preprocessing approach, including data cleaning, imputation, outlier removal, and normalization. The models were rigorously evaluated through 10-fold cross-validation and tested on unseen data. Ridge Regression outperformed the other models, achieving the lowest Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) of 0.7706, Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 0.5627, and Mean Squared Error (MSE) of 0.5938. In comparison, Lasso and Elastic Net Regression models exhibited higher error metrics. Feature importance analysis revealed that Gas Hourly Space Velocity (GHSV) and Molar Masses of Support significantly influence catalytic activity. These findings suggest that Ridge Regression is a promising tool for accurately predicting methanol production, providing valuable insights for optimizing catalytic processes and advancing sustainable practices in chemical engineering.

Organic matter amendments play a pivotal role in improving the soil’s physiochemical properties and crop productivity. This study was conducted to examine the effects of various organic matters on soil physicochemical properties and the yield of rainfed rice in Bangladesh. The research was conducted following a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with seven treatments, viz. cow dung slurry (CDS), rice husk biochar (RHB), cow dung (CD), vermi-compost (VC) and trico-compost (TC) used @ 2 t C ha-1, and bacterial inoculant (BI) @ 4 ml plot-1. The findings indicated a reduction trend of bulk density as compared to the initial soil in all the organic matter-treated soils, where the highest reduction percent was found in the RHB (1.45%) treated plot, followed by CDS (0.74%), VC (0.74%), TC (0.74%), CD (0.73%) and BI (0.73%). Significantly higher total N was observed in inorganic matter-treated post harvested soil compared to initial soil. The highest total N was recorded in TC (0.12%) and CDS (0.12%) treated soils, followed by CD (0.11%), VC (0.11%), BI (0.11%) and RHB (0.10%). The significantly highest CEC (6.48 meq100g soil-1) was noted in RHB-added soil, while the lowest value (5.70 meq100g soil-1) was found in initial soil. The RHB exhibited the maximum quantity of P, S, and exchangeable K in post-harvest soils, with 12.75, 19.73 mg kg-1 soil, and 0.14 cmol kg-1, respectively. Plant height, tiller hill-1, panicle length, grain panicle-1, and 1000-grain weight were greatly influenced by the various treatments. In the context of grain yields, the treatments can be rated as follows: CD>CDS>VC>RHB>TC>BI>control. Thus, it was concluded that organic amendments improves soil fertility and the yield of rice, particularly in rainfed condition.
Fibroid and Keloid Cytokine SNP Analysis Strategy for Anti Cancer and Oncological Screening
Authors: Chan Kim Seung , Regis Anyanwu Chukwuebuka
Published: October 2024

Fibroids and keloids are two distinct medical conditions with no direct link or association. They involve different types of tissues and have distinct characteristics. Fibroids are non-cancerous tumors that develop in the muscular wall of the uterus. They are composed of smooth muscle cells and fibrous connective tissue. They are typically found in the uterus. Fibroids can cause symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain or pressure, frequent urination, and reproductive issues. Keloids are raised overgrowths of scar tissue that can develop at the site of a wound or injury. They result from an overproduction of collagen during the healing process.

Sale of Nationality as a Violation of Human Dignity
Authors: Weil Patrick
Published: October 2024

On 21 March 2023, the European Commission brought action against Republic of Malta for establishing and maintaining a policy and a practice of naturalisation despite “the absence of a genuine link of the applicants with the country, in exchange for pre-determined payments or investments”. In this blog, I argue that the Court is fully competent because Malta violated article 1 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. Specifically, I argue that selling nationality violates human dignity because nationality confers legal subjecthood, which is a central condition for guaranteeing the human dignity of European citizens.

This study investigates the effect of the Team Word-Webbing technique on reading comprehension among tenth-grade students at MAN Koto Baru, Dharmasraya. Reading comprehension is critical for language acquisition and academic success, as it encompasses the ability to extract and interpret meaning from text. Despite its importance, many students struggle with reading comprehension due to various factors including limited vocabulary and insufficient engagement. To address these issues, the study employed a quantitative experimental design, using a quasi-experimental approach with an experimental group and a control group. The research involved a pre-test and post-test assessment to measure reading comprehension levels before and after the implementation of the Team Word-Webbing technique. The experimental group was taught using this technique, which involves organizing ideas visually to enhance understanding, while the control group received traditional instruction. The sample consisted of two classes selected through purposive sampling, with data analyzed using t-tests to compare outcomes. Results indicated that the Team Word-Webbing technique significantly improved reading comprehension compared to conventional methods. The experimental group demonstrated higher post-test scores, with statistical analysis revealing a significant difference (p < 0.05). This suggests that Team Word-Webbing enhances students' ability to understand and retain reading material by facilitating better organization of ideas and active engagement. In conclusion, the study supports the effectiveness of Team Word-Webbing as an instructional strategy to improve reading comprehension. This technique not only aids in comprehension but also promotes active learning and student interaction, making it a valuable tool for educators aiming to enhance reading skills in the classroom.

A Novel Deep Learning Model for Tool Wear Estimation of Cutting Tools
Authors: Darwish Ahmed
Published: October 2024

In cutting tools, tool wear may result in low-quality surfaces and precision in dimensional measurement. Tool wear may additionally result in fractures and harm to the workpieces over operations. It's critical to track tool wear in life in order to avoid these situations. This research proposes a data-driven deep learning strategy to improve the accuracy of cutting tool wear estimates. This technique combines a Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) with a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). In order to circumvent the problems associated with single-domain features that lack appropriate tool status data, a multi-domain combination technique was used to develop candidate features. We retrieved 4 frequency-domain features, 8 time-frequency domain features, and 12 time-domain features from each channel signal. The CNN eliminates the need for human feature extraction by automatically identifying significant attributes from raw time series data. The model is able to generate more abstract data representations and understand complex temporal patterns thanks to the GRU. Using the dataset of the 2010 PHM Data Challenge, comparisons with a number of deep learning models were conducted in order to show the effectiveness of the suggested model. The results of the studies indicate that CNN-GRU is a good option for estimating the tool wear of cutting tools because it outperformed all other models that were looked at.

This paper introduces an advanced cryptosystem for message encryption and decryption, integrating the International Data Encryption Algorithm (IDEA) with soft set and soft matrix principles. Soft sets, conceptualized by Molodtsov, are adept at managing uncertainty, making them ideal for cryptographic frameworks. Our approach utilizes inverse and characteristic products of soft sets and matrices, combined with the robust IDEA algorithm, to significantly enhance security. The IDEA algorithm operates on 64 -bit data blocks with a 128 -bit key, ensuring strong encryption. Additionally, we incorporate the symmetric to introduce complex permutations, further strengthening the cryptographic process by ensuring unique encryptions for identical plaintexts. This layered approach drastically improves resilience against unauthorized decryption. Practical applications demonstrate the system's efficacy, highlighting its superior security and reliability for data transmission in environments with high uncertainty. This innovative cryptosystem provides a formidable solution for contemporary encryption challenges.

Tuberculosis (TB) is prevalent in underdeveloped and developing countries, mainly in rural areas, with indistinct clinical manifestations. Lungs are the most affected organs; however, tuberculosis may invade almost all human body systems, including the liver. Isolated liver tuberculosis is still considered a rare condition and its atypical clinical presentation challenges the clinical acumen of the treating physician. There is difficulty in reaching the correct preoperative diagnosis of nodular hepatic tuberculosis that presents as a space occupying lesion. It is usually unsuspected and confused with primary or metastatic carcinoma of the liver. Regarding the fact that Mycobacterium tuberculosis culturing may be challenging in most settings, imaging and tissue diagnosis plays a vital role in diagnosing, treatment guiding, and patient follow-ups. In this report, we describe a rare case of a 22 weeks primi with disseminated tuberculosis presenting as rapidly developing unilateral massive pleural effusion necessitating intercostal tube drainage and hepatic nodular tuberculosis.

This study demonstrates that FDI is a proven growth determinant, and trade openness also influences the effectiveness of FDI on growth. This is evident because countries with good institutional environment attracted more benefits through FDI and increased trade openness (welfare). We tested the hypothesis with a sample of 70 developing nations between 1984 and 2021 using a linear interaction model. The GMM results indicate economic growth FDI influence and trade openness expands in tandem with institutional factors. High-institution quality countries should gain more from MNC presence, as they will have fewer problems absorbing and internalising new technologies.
