Published: January 2025

Drying is essential in the mining industry to ensure that iron ore reaches a safe moisture level for maritime transportation, while also influencing the quality of products and beneficiation processes. This study presents the mathematical modeling and numerical simulation of iron ore drying in a pneumatic conveying section, based on the moisture reduction plant of Vale S.A. in São Luís, Brazil. The Rocha (1988) model was used, grounded on conservation equations of momentum, mass, and energy. The simulations considered a 29.25 m vertical pneumatic conveying section, a diameter of 1.5 m, air velocities of 15 and 30 m·s⁻¹, air temperature of 150 °C, particle sizes ranging from 50 µm to 5 mm, and a solids flow rate of 22.75 kg·s⁻¹. The results indicated that particles larger than 50 µm exited the section with residual moisture. For an air velocity of 15 m·s⁻¹, particles smaller than 100 µm reduced their moisture content by 0.02 kgwater·kgwet solid⁻¹ along the conveying section. At 30 m·s⁻¹, this target was achieved for particles smaller than 50 µm. Although the model has limitations and requires experimental validation, the results suggest that drying during pneumatic conveying can significantly contribute to moisture reduction, reaching the target of 0.02 kgwater·kgwet solid⁻¹.

A produção integrada de peixes e vegetais tem uma ampla versatilidade de produção, e fornece uma segurança alimentar de maneira sustentável. Por isso, este estudo teve o objetivo de avaliar o efeito de diferentes densidades de sementes no crescimento e desenvolvimento radicular e aéreo de plântulas de manjericão em sistema aquapônico com tambaqui. O sistema foi composto com tanque de cultivo animal, um decantador, um biofiltro e uma bancada de cultivo vegetal. Os animais foram criados em um tanque retangular com capacidade de 5m3, com atração contínua. Para a qualidade da água foram medidos diariamente parâmetros físico-químicos, e os compostos nitrogenados foram mensurados semanalmente. Para avaliar a produtividade de plântulas de manjericão, foi utilizado o delineamento experimental DIC, constituido de 3 tratamentos de diferentes densidades, sendo eles: 1, 2 e 3 sementes por célula. As respostas obtidas foram positivas com as três densidades, com a germinação ocorrendo com aproximadamente 6 dias. Embora mais adensada, a D2 se destacou significativamente a 5% de probabilidade, com um ótimo crescimento em altura e largura (diâmetro), juntamente com um bom desenvolvimento de biomassa, plântulas aparentemente viáveis, maior peso fresco e boa absorção/conversão de amônio livre, sem causar mortalidade para o animal. Levando em consideração esses aspectos, o sistema de aquaponia provou-se eficiente para o desenvolvimento animal e vegetal, beneficiando ambos os sistemas, sendo recomendado para a produção de plântulas de manjericão.

Published: January 2025

Introdução: O Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção e Hiperatividade (TDAH) afeta a vida acadêmica, social e emocional, com prevalência de 5-7% em crianças e 2,5-4% em adultos. O tratamento inclui medicamentos estimulantes e não estimulantes, além de terapias comportamentais. Efeitos colaterais e baixa adesão podem comprometer a eficácia a longo prazo, tornando as intervenções não farmacológicas, como exercícios físicos, uma alternativa complementar eficaz. Objetivo: Avaliar o impacto de exercícios físicos regulares no controle da hiperatividade em adolescentes com TDAH. Metodologia: Consistiu uma revisão integrativa abordando as intervenções e seus efeitos, analisando as abordagens e comparações de eficácia. Resultados: O tratamento farmacológico com metilfenidato e lisdexanfetamina foi eficaz na redução da hiperatividade, com eficácia de 70% e 75%, respectivamente. Exercícios físicos reduziram a desatenção em 60% dos participantes, e a combinação de medicamentos e exercícios físicos alcançou até 80% de eficácia, melhorando desempenho acadêmico e reduzindo efeitos colaterais como insônia e irritabilidade. Discussão: A combinação de intervenções farmacológicas e não farmacológicas foi destacada como a melhor abordagem terapêutica. Medicamentos mostraram eficácia, mas efeitos colaterais dificultam a adesão. Exercícios físicos foram eficazes na melhoria da atenção, mas não impactaram significativamente a hiperatividade. A combinação de ambas as abordagens melhorou a adesão ao tratamento, reduzindo efeitos adversos e promovendo benefícios a longo prazo. Conclusão: A combinação de medicamentos e exercícios físicos mostra-se promissora no tratamento do TDAH, promovendo melhorias na atenção, habilidades motoras e neuroplasticidade.

Objective: To investigate land suitability for rice by considering the matching of weighting and scoring results and map overlay to obtain land suitability classes and assess land suitability to existing rice fields.
 
Theoretical Framework: Rice is a staple food critical to Indonesia's food security. Its increasing demand is driven by population growth. Despite its importance, rice productivity in the area remains below the national average, necessitating innovative approaches to land use optimization.
 
Method: The analysis employed GIS-based MCDA, combining primary data from farmer surveys with secondary data, including soil, elevation, slope, and land use maps. The parameters influencing suitability—such as soil type, depth, texture, pH, and proximity to water sources and roads—were weighted using the Analytical Hierarchy Process.
 
Results and Discussion: The results reveal significant variability in expert perspectives: farmers prioritize water proximity, academics and researchers emphasize soil type, and government officials focus on soil depth. The majority of the area (79.60%) is marginally suitable, 16.69% is moderately suitable, and 3.71% is unsuitable. Existing paddy fields are predominantly under the S3 class, with profitability indicated by an R/C ratio of 1.68.
 
Research Implications: Soil type is the most influential parameter on land suitability, while proximity to roads is the parameter with the least influence. The opportunity for developing lowland rice is large because the use of suitable land is ≤ 1% compared to the availability of suitable land. The R/C ratio value of 1.68 indicates that the development of lowland rice in this area is promising.

Published: January 2025

The history of communism in Romania represents, even 35 years after the Revolution of December 1989, a challenging topic to be addressed, fact due both to the controversial developments recorded, but also to the predominantly negative image associated with the period. The 45 years of communism left an overwhelming mark on Romanian society, dramatically shaping its evolution, including from the economic point of view. From capitalist, market economy, Romania switched to a totally different economic system, the administration of its resources, the production process, the consumption, in fact all economic domains being subordinated to other requirements than until that moment. The role of the private initiative, of institutions and of the state was also submitted to reformation. In this respect, between 1945-1989 our country experienced the system of the centralized economy, its development taking place in 3 distinct stages: 1945-1948, 1948-1965, 1965-1989. The present study proposes an analysis of the economic changes produced once with the end of the Second World War. We will focus our attention on a complex and distinct development stage, the one between 1945-1948, a key period for the set-up of the infrastructure specific to the newly created economic system, respectively of the framework required for the subsequent implementation of socialist-type economic transformations.
Field Presentation of Hyperkalemia and Cardiac Arrest
Authors: Myers Matthew , Mencl Francis
Published: January 2025

Unresponsive patients with no family or friends can be particularly challenging for EMS providers, especially if they rapidly deteriorate or arrest on scene.  Although the “Hs & Ts” are taught in ACLS, hyperkalemia is an infrequent cause of cardiac arrest and can be easily overlooked in patients not on dialysis. However, recognition is crucial as the standard approach to cardiac arrest will not work and specific medications are indicated. Additionally, and in contrast to many other causes of cardiac arrest, there are specific and readily identifiable ECG changes that take place leading up to the arrest, potentially allowing time to intervene. In this case there were several visual and physical clues on patient assessment to suggest the etiology, all of which could have been easily overlooked had the patient undergone a cursory or hurried evaluation.
Fluid Resuscitation in the Prehospital Setting

Published: January 2025

Urban Emergency Medical Services benefit from an increased number of higher-level personnel (Advanced Emergency Medical Technicians and Paramedics) responding to all calls that are trained to obtain intravenous access. Current Advanced Trauma Life Support guidelines require all trauma patients to receive intravenous access, and as such it is essential for EMS clinicians to be conversant with situations which may require fluid resuscitation. These situations are especially common in rural or austere environments as long transport times require EMS clinicians to maintain adequate hemodynamics until arrival at a trauma center for definitive care. Historically, crystalloid solutions have been the mainstay of fluid resuscitation with Normal Saline or Lactated Ringer’s solution being preferred. Despite the recent shift in best practices from aggressive fluid resuscitation to delayed or significantly scaled back fluid resuscitation in most settings of trauma, it is essential for EMS clinicians to understand when fluid resuscitation is indicated, or, more importantly, contraindicated. EMS clinicians must be comfortable with the various fluids available to them in the field. This review provides an overview of the most common crystalloid fluids and blood component therapies which may be used for resuscitation in the prehospital setting.

Introduction: Accidents at home in older adults have a biopsychosocial repercussion, affecting their quality of life, and influencing the health of the elderly due to the dependency action; and the family repercussion that the same can have must also be taken into account. Objective: To modify the level of knowledge about accidents at home in older adults belonging to the San Juan y Martínez grandparents' home. Materials and Methods: An educational intervention was carried out between September and November 2023. The universe was constituted by the 50 older adults of the grandparents' home. The sample consisted of 42 grandparents who met the inclusion criteria. The study was carried out in three stages: diagnosis, intervention and evaluation. A survey was applied to them to qualify the level of knowledge in the first stage, then a program of classes was developed, constituting the second stage, and finally the same survey was applied again to evaluate the modification of knowledge after the intervention was concluded, this being the third stage.  The results obtained were entered into statistical tables and processed using descriptive statistical techniques. Results: 100% of the elderly were qualified with adequate knowledge at the end of the intervention. Conclusions: After applying the intervention, there was a significant increase in the knowledge of the elderly of the grandparents' home about accidents in the home, so the intervention was considered effective

Smoking is currently one of the most widespread addictions in the world, with consumption reaching massive proportions that involve people from various professions and occupations globally. An educational intervention study was conducted before and after, aimed at increasing the level of knowledge among patients with erectile dysfunction who smoke at the Raúl Sánchez University Polyclinic during the period from January to July 2024, regarding the influence of smoking on male sexual function. The study included a total of 10 patients diagnosed with dysfunction through the abbreviated IIEF questionnaire (IIEF-5 or SHIM) who were also smokers; most were men aged 40-49 years, with mild dysfunction predominating, and less than one year of evolution. The predominant type of smoker was moderate, with the onset of smoking before the age of 16, and most had attempted to quit smoking at least once. Before the educational intervention, none of the smokers knew about the effects of smoking on sexual desire, ejaculation, and erection; after the educational technique, knowledge increased to 100 percent among the patients

A Comparison of Jewish and Islamic Views on The Banishment of Hagar
Authors: Hafizah Fithri Dzakiyyah
Published: January 2025

Hagar is a fascinating figure in both Jewish and Islamic traditions. Her portrayal varies greatly across these two different faiths. In both Jewish and Islamic traditions, Hagar is sent away into the desert. However, this same story has different interpretations in Judaism and Islam and has diverse cultural impacts on today’s Jewish and Muslim societies. In Islam, Hagar is seen as a respected figure, the mother of Arabs. This contrasts with her negative portrayal in some Jewish interpretations. This paper examines historical sources of Hagar’s story in the Biblical narrative and the Islamic tradition, exploring how each scripture aligns and contrasts with the other through the pivotal event of Hagar’s banishment to the wilderness. Utilizing a qualitative methodology and comparative approach, this study undertakes a textual and content analysis of relevant literature. This paper argues that how Hagar’s banishment is recounted in Jewish and Islamic traditions significantly influences how her story is understood and interpreted today. These interpretations, shaped by their respective cultural and historical contexts, contribute to differing portrayals of Hagar’s role and social position within the family of Abraham in Jewish and Islamic communities.
The Sound of Salvation: Voice, Gender, and the Sufi Mediascape in China (Guangtian Ha)

The Sound of Salvation: Voice, Gender, and the Sufi Mediascape in China  (Guangtian Ha). New York: Columbia University Press, 2022.
Guangtian Ha completed 'The Sound of Salvation: Voice, Gender, and the Sufi Mediascape in China’ while undertaking his Ph.D. dissertation for Columbia University. As an anthropologist who conducted ethnographic research, he was mired in uncompleted fieldwork. When writing this book in 2021, he remarked that the COVID-19 global pandemic was in its second year, leading to the deaths of over half a million people in the United States and an unknown number in China, where the total number of deaths has been kept secret by the government. Even before the pandemic, the role of Islamic seminaries in Ningxia had been substantially reduced due to political pressure. But when the pandemic hit the region, most religious locations, such as mosques and Sufi graves, were ordered to close their doors to outside visitors. Even though much of his fieldwork was already completed in 2018, he lamented that much had changed in the intervening years, and so noted that the book had been written with a deep sense of loss.
Islam & Natural Philosophy: Principles of Daqīq Al-Kalām (Basil Altaie)

Islam & Natural Philosophy: Principles of Daqīq Al-Kalām (Basil Altaie). Oldham: Beacon Books, 2023.
The discipline of kalām (Islamic rational theology) can be generally divided into two categories: jalīl al-kalām and daqīq al-kalām. The former mainly deals with theological questions whereas the latter deals with questions related to natural philosophy such as causality, free will, time, space, etc. The book under review deals with the latter: it provides an original attempt to revive and recontextualize daqīq al-kalām. Trained as a theoretical physicist in Mosul, Iraq, and Manchester, the United Kingdom, with some 30 years of exposure to the field of kalām, the Iraqi author offers an interesting interplay between classical Islamic theology and modern scientific discoveries.
Does FDI Matter for The Economic Growth of West Sub-Saharan African Countries? A Panel Vecm Approach
Authors: Nicholas Edward
Published: January 2025

This study analyzes foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic growth in fifteen West Sub-Saharan African countries’ relationship from 1990 to 2020, with secondary panel data from the World Bank (2022), at the expense of both interest rate and exchange rate effect. The main model used is Panel VECM. The results shows that FDI helps enhance economic growth in the long run, as the estimate in the long-run indicates an increase of -121.16, which can be interpreted inversely with a 1% level of significance, with t-statistics at -14.94, despite FDI’s negative impact in the short run with an estimate of -3.5 with a level of significance of -2.16. Likewise, the effect of interest rate with t-statistics of -0.1 for economic growth and 0.1 for FDI and exchange rate with t-statistics of -0.43 for economic growth and -0.12 for FDI. Thus, both parameters are deemed insignificant. Therefore, policymakers should adopt policies that will support FDI for the long term to enhance economic growth, and reduce interests rate and exchange rates by establishing usage of a single currency or flexible exchange rates. This study aims to help policymakers and analysts determine the advantages of monitoring changes in macroeconomic fundamentals and economic growth for attracting FDI. The results of the study have significant policy repercussions, particularly for fiscal and monetary policy, particularly to resolve problems of slow economic growth to a low proportion of appropriate FDI in West Sub-Saharan African countries and other developing countries.
