The ‘caring community’: Recognizing and shielding civic environmental monitoring
Authors: Anna Berti Suman
Published: August 2023

‘Community-based monitoring’, is a form of care for the land, and a manifestation of broader citizen science. The practice at times embodies resistance to the way environmental resources are governed, whereas other times is a healthy complementation to institutional environmental governance. However, often, the role of such ‘monitoring’ communities is not appropriately recognized and they are even, in some instances, criminalized. Unofficial forms of monitoring should be acknowledged by institutions, especially when these institutions fail to appropriately govern environmental issues. Two cases are discussed, which – first – demonstrate the aspect of ‘care’ entailed by community-based monitoring’ and – second – the need for recognizing the added value that the civic sentinels bring to environmental governance. The main argument developed is that forms of community care for the environment should not remain an unofficial and informal practice but, when needed and as appropriate, should be recognized beyond the engaged community, mainly through the granting of a legitimate status within the system. This recognition should occur while respecting the legal context, judicial processes and the separate and unique role of authorities competent for (environmental) law enforcement.

Published: August 2023

Educational policy makers, employers and other stakeholders are urging schools and universities to promote twenty first century skills, such as teamwork, problem-solving, and self-management, which are regarded as important for success in the workplace, citizenship, and family life. These skills are critical for success in the modern world because they allow people to negotiate complex situations, form strong connections, and achieve their goals. Furthermore, these skills are not set characteristics, but rather may be acquired and enhanced via conscious practice and feedback. This chapter will focus on the importance of integrating twenty first century competencies into education to bridge gaps between education and the workplace in the post-pandemic era. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for digital transformation since students are expected to possess different twenty first century competencies such as digital literacy, problem-solving, adaptability, and communication skills. This chapter will explore how educators can prepare students with these skills through authentic learning experiences like project-based learning (PBL) and internships. It will also examine the challenges of transitioning from academia into the workplace, and how businesses and educational institutions need to collaborate to ensure that students are equipped with the skills needed for success in the modern workforce.

Body composition in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease
Authors: E. Müller Katalin
Published: August 2023

Malnutrition and assessment of body composition is an important topic in inflammatory bowel disease. The pathomechanism of malnutrition is complex and related to anorexia, abnormal digestion, malabsorption, and chronic inflammation. Anthropometric parameters and BMI are not precise to reflect the nutritional status. Meanwhile, recent studies emphasize that low fat-free mass, especially, sarcopenia is associated with a worse prognosis, such as an increased risk for surgery, biological therapy, and disease complications. On the other hand, obesity and increased fat mass are also associated with poor outcomes in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Furthermore, the dosage of some drugs may need adjustment in the case of obese patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Published: August 2023

In this urbanized world, people have limited time and access to labors to clean the items one is associated with. Self-cleaning of the items which humans use every day or occasional is more sustainable for long term and is also one of the most important functionalities for improved esthetics, performance, hygiene, and satisfaction. Various approaches have been widely explored to impart self-cleaning properties to different substrates using different chemistries of surface modifications. The current chapter gives an overview of the various mechanisms for self-cleaning including super-hydrophobicity, super-hydrophilicity and photocatalysis with more emphasis on polyurethane origin. Polyurethanes have been widely explored for self-cleaning properties by introducing super-hydrophobicity via incorporation of nano-roughness or low energy functionalities or by introducing photocatalytic property by incorporating photocatalytic nanoparticles. The chapter also provides a connect to the applications of such polyurethane surfaces. Thus, these self-cleaning polyurethanes may find applications in the fields of anti-fogging, anti-icing, anti-reflection, corrosion resistance, drag reduction, sensors, solar cells, and textiles.

A low-power stable self-oscillator with a single-layer flat coil was proposed by us in the late 1990s as a sensitive measurement method. It soon became a technological platform called a single-layer flat-coil-oscillator technology (SFCO technology). Two classes of sensors were designed based on SFCO platform: with and without the mechanical vibrating system. Both of them have already demonstrated their capabilities to solve problems of low-temperature experimental physics. This method also helped to increase the resolution of detectors in seismology/geophysics and develop diagnostic techniques for use in physiology and biophysics. We also showed the feasibility of using these novel SFCO sensors for noncontact far-field nondestructive scanning of various structures and media. SFCO sensors are characterized by high sensitivity and the ability to detect mechanical vibration signals in an unprecedentedly wide frequency range – from quasi-stationary movements to ultrasonic frequencies. Physical principles of operation of SFCO sensors are based on the change in frequency and/or amplitude of the measuring oscillator. In this Chapter, we discuss the principles of operation of SFCO sensors and numerous measurement data obtained by these sensors in different fields of science and technology. The wide potential of the novel SFCO sensors for medical diagnostics will also be discussed.

Published: August 2023

Higher education is fundamental for the development of honest professionals and citizens; each educational action is indeed ethical. From a philosophical and conceptual analysis of the relationship between ethics and education, this research aimed to define academic actions for developing ethics in higher education, identifying possible obstacles and proposing concrete actions for their implementation in praxis. This research is qualitative, documentary-descriptive, inductive, non-experimental, and cross-sectional through a bibliographic review based on scientific data. It is argued that academic management organised around an educational model oriented towards ethics, will guide teacher training programs for this purpose. For its effective implementation, it proposes mainstreaming ethics in the curriculum and the development of an Ethics Lecture or Chair, keeping in mind that teachers and institutional behaviour and actions, directly impact students’ ability to be citizens guided by ethics.

Authors: Gavzan Hakimeh , Araghi Atefeh , Behzadi Ramazan
Published: August 2023

Background: Many recent studies have documented that polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) as a safe supplement raise seizure thresholds. However, the evidence of seed oil supplements on seizure susceptibility remains controversial, and among them, Echium seed oil (EO) is a mixture of ω-3 and ω-6 PUFAs. Objectives: This study aimed to test the effects of the sub-chronic administration of EO on intravenous pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) seizure threshold, considering its antioxidant activity and biochemical parameters. Methods: Fifty male mice were divided into five groups (10 in each), including control (no treatment), vehicle (sesame oil), and EO (1, 3, and 5 g/kg) groups. Vehicle and EO were administered p.o. once a day for four weeks. Then, the intravenous PTZ induced-seizure threshold was determined. Finally, the serum concentration of lipid, creatinine, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) was assessed. Results: Pretreatment with EO raised the seizure threshold dose-dependently compared to the vehicle. Pretreatment with EO had no adverse effect on the serum concentration of ALP, AST, ALT, creatinine, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), but at the dosages of 3 and 5 g/kg decreased the concentration of cholesterol, very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) (P < 0.05), and triglyceride (TG) (P < 0.01). Also, 1 and 3 g/kg of EO improved the activity of SOD (P < 0.01). Conclusions: Pretreatment with EO increases the seizure threshold without negative impacts on the liver and kidney biomarkers, correlated with its positive effects on antioxidant activity and serum lipid profiles.

So You're Posted to CASG - Part IV
Authors:   Australian Defence Force, Turnbull David
Published: August 2023

Stick with me now—we are nearly there! For those of you still with me, welcome back. This blog is Part IV following the previous blogs Part I (Turnbull, 2023a), Part II (Turnbull, 2023b) and Part III (Turnbull, 2023c). Continuing from where Part III concluded, I argued that targeted marketing to both internal and external audiences was where Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group (CASG) needed to apply some effort, with this articulated by a couple of formulas1, 2 demonstrating that positive Employee Value Propositions (EVPs) and trust generate a positive image and attractiveness for CASG. However, negative EVPs and distrust generate a negative image and attractiveness. From this, I suggested that there are two themes that CASG need to address in the context of internal and external audiences: purpose and belonging. So let’s get this done!

In addition to these forms of training, members of the Air Force have access to opportunities for scholarship, where they can apply for graduate programs at Masters and PhD level through civilian universities. These programs afford individuals the chance to focus on a particular "problem" for Defence, dedicating an extended period of time to research and scholarship.
BIBLIOMETRIC STUDY OF MUSIC THERAPY ARTICLES PUBLISHED IN PUBMED, WOS AND SCOPUS BETWEEN 2012 AND 2022
Authors: Martín Torea Daniel
Published: August 2023

There are currently no studies of the state of the art of music therapy as a discipline. For this reason, a bibliometric study of scientific production in music therapy has been carried out through articles pu- blished between 2012 and 2022 on the prestigious scientific platforms Scopus, Web of Science and PubMed. To carry out this study, a total of 18,179 articles have been cataloged. This has been done through categories and labels awarded to each article depending on its nature, using Excel and VOS- viewer to process the data obtained.The results show a domination by English-speaking countries in terms of volume of publication, but in terms of impact and citation, it is the European countries that surpass the rest by far.There are also several phenomena such as the case of China, a country whose citation feeds back creating a bubble of false international impact. At the same time, there is evidence of a problem in the cataloging of thousands of articles as a result of a possible bad image on the part of music therapy, which also implies a possible bad or insufficient communication.

Latar Belakang: Ikan kembung menjadi salah satu komoditas laut yang melimpah dan banyak diminati oleh masyarakat Indonesia. Namun, ikan memiliki masa segar yang singkat, sebab kadar air yang tinggi. Oleh itu, diperlukan usaha pengawetan yang bertujuan masa simpan ikan lebih panjang dan menambah variasi olahan berbahan dasar ikan kembung yang diketahui bernilai gizi tinggi. Ikan kembung pada penelitian ini akan diolah menjadi produk pengawetan pengeringan, dendeng lumat.

Tujuan: Tujuan dilakukannya penelitian ini ialah untuk menganalisis hasil dendneg lumat ikan kembung yang dikeringkan dengan oven pada suhu 70 ˚C, 80 ˚C, dan 90 ˚C terhadap sifat fisik dan daya terima konsumen

Metode: Aspek yang diuji pada variabel sifat fisik, adalah berat, ketebalan, tekstur, dan daya serap minyak. Kemudian, variabel daya terima konsumen aspek yang diuji adalah warna, aroma amis, aroma bumbu, rasa manis, rasa gurih, tekstur liat, tekstur kering dan ketebalan. Uji sifat fisik dilakukan sebanyak 3 kali pengulangan dan uji organoleptik daya terima konsumen dilakukan kepada 30 panelis. Hasil data penelitian akan dianalisis menggunakan uji one way Anova untuk sifat fisik dan uji Friedman untuk daya terima konsumen dengan taraf signifikansi α = 0,05.

Hasil: Berdasarkan hasil analisis uji friedman yang dilanjutkan dengan uji Tuckey perlakuan suhu pengeringan yang menghasilkan dendeng lumat ikan kembung paling disukai oleh konsumen adalah perlakuan suhu pengeringan 80 ˚C.

Kesimpulan: suhu pengeringan dendeng lumat ikan kembung memiliki pengaruh signifikan terhadap sifat fisik dendeng seperti berat, ketebalan, dan tekstur. Namun, tidak terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan pada aspek daya serap minyak. Selain itu, suhu pengeringan 80 ˚C merupakan suhu yang paling disukai oleh konsumen dalam hal daya terima.
Data, Information, Knowledge, and Wisdom: Our Pragmatic Ignorance
Authors: Chalifour Joshua
Published: August 2023

A common way to model the relationships of data, information, knowledge, and wisdom is the DIKW pyramid. Starting with its base, each concept builds on top of the former. The gist is that we require data to form information † we use information to gain knowledge † and we use knowledge toward developing wisdom. This model is one doorway to understanding the relationship between these concepts.

Open data is a well-defined concept but in the public sector, there is some difficult work ahead for its digital curation. Although the support and production of open data from governments around the world varies (with many not yet supporting it at all) there are clear movements to encourage and grow open government data initiatives.
Control of the side brush street sweeper for various road surfaces using PID and sliding mode controllers
Authors: Thanh Hiep , Viet Thang , Duc Thong , Quoc Tri
Published: August 2023

This paper examines the side brush control technologies for a novelty semi-autonomous road sweeper design. This study proposes a side brush structure and offers a brush control solution to improve working efficiency and reduce abrasive brush. For the mechanical system using a parallelogram mechanism, the direction of movement when raising and lowering the brush is always parallel to the road surface. The modeling of the side brush mechanism shows that this is a nonlinear system. Therefore, the Sliding Mode Control(SMC) was proposed and established from the dynamics equation. The Lyapunov theorem demonstrates its stability. Besides, we also consider the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller to evaluate the responsiveness of the linear controller for a nonlinear system. Finally, the parameters of the controllers are optimized by a genetic algorithm to consider the response of the sliding mode control compared to the PID controller to control the road sweeper side brush with different references.
Passive flow modification over the supersonic and the hypersonic air-intake system using bleed
Authors: Sinha Jayanta , Singh Sanjay , Prakash Om , Panchal Dhruv
Published: August 2023

The air intake should be operated at design conditions to achieve a high total pressure recovery and optimum mass capture ratio. The current research focuses on the numerical simulation of the supersonic and hypersonic air inlet and its starting and unstarting characteristics. 2D RANS equation for supersonic and hypersonic intake has been solved using the k-oSST turbulence model. The in-house code and the algorithm based on the RANS equation have also been validated in due process and used for subsequent simulations. The sudden drop in mass capture ratio indicates the unstart condition of the intake. The presence of a bleed section has a commendable effect on the performance parameter of the air intake. A separation bubble was observed at the intake's entrance during the off-design conditions, resulting in performance losses. Four different bleed sections ranging in size from 1.6mm to 8.6mm were used, and simulations with bleed were run for different Mach numbers ranging from 3 to 8. The optimum bleed size of 3mm has been found quite effective in modifying Total pressure recovery within the optimum mass flow rate over the wide range of Mach numbers.
Robust algorithm to learn rules for classification: A fault diagnosis case study
Authors: Balaji Arun , Sugumaran V.
Published: August 2023

Machine learning algorithms are used for building classifier models. The rule-based decision tree classifiers are popular ones. However, the performance of the decision tree classifier varies with hyperparameter tuning. The optimum hyperparameter values are obtained using either optimization algorithms or trial and error methods. The present study utilizes the MODLEM algorithm to overcome the drawbacks accounted for by decision tree algorithms. Eliminating hyperparameter tuning and producing results closer to standard decision tree algorithms makes MODLEM a robust classification algorithm. The robustness of the MODLEM algorithm is illustrated with the fault diagnosis case study. The case study is faults diagnosis of an automobile suspension system using vibration signals acquired at various fault conditions.
