Authors: Semko Oleksandr , Filonenko Olena , Hasenko Lina , Mahas Nataliia , Rudenko Viktor
Published: January 2025

The article presents the experience of developing engineering solutions for the restoration and preservation of cold pitched attic structures on the example of a historic building in Poltava. A preliminary design solution for the thermal modernization of the attic floor was analyzed, which included the placement of mineral wool insulation in the attic in accordance with requirements of DBN V.2.6-31:2016 with a thickness of 250 mm. Increasing the thickness of the insulation to modern requirements for energy efficiency on a reinforced concrete floor could lead to a decrease in the temperature in the attic, which, in turn, would not contribute to the melting of snow on the roof, which occurred in the last 70 years of the building's operation. A possible increase in snow load along with cooling of the steel truss elements to -20°C can cause brittle fracture of truss elements made of boiling steel. The thickness of the insulation along the attic floor should be taken no more than 100 mm in order to reduce transmission heat losses and maintain a positive temperature in the attic space.

Super Vertex Cover of a Graph
Authors: Canoy, Jr. Sergio , Bonsocan Maria Andrea O. , Hassan Javier , Mahistrado Angelica Mae , Bilar Vergel T.
Published: January 2025

A set $S\subseteq V(G)$ is a super vertex cover of $G$ if $S$ is a vertex cover and for every $x\in V(G)\setminus S$, there exists $y\in S$ such that $N_G(y)\cap (V(G)\setminus S)=\{x\}$. The super vertex cover number of $G$, denoted $\beta_s(G)$, is the smallest cardinality of a super vertex cover of $G$. In this paper, we show that the difference of the super vertex cover number and the vertex cover number can be made arbitrarily large. Graphs of small values of the parameter are characterized. Moreover, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a super vertex cover in the join and the corona of graphs. Corresponding value of the super vertex cover number of each these graphs is also determined.
k-Hop Domination Defect in a Graph
Authors: Anoche Jesica , Canoy Sergio
Published: January 2025

In this paper, we introduce a new graph parameter called the hop domination defect and  investigate it for some classes of graphs. The hop domination number $\gamma_h(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of vertices required to hop dominate all the vertices of $G$. The minimality of $\gamma_h(G)$ implies that if $W \subseteq V(G)$ and $|W| < \gamma_h (G)$, then there is at least one vertex in $G$ that is not hop dominated by $W$. Given a positive integer $k < \gamma_h(G)$, where $\gamma_h(G) \geq 2$, the $k$-hop domination defect of $G$, denoted by $\zeta_k^h(G)$, is the minimum number of vertices of $G$ that is not hop dominated by any subset of vertices of $G$ with cardinality $\gamma_h(G) - k$. We give some bounds on the $k$-hop domination defect of a graph in terms of its order and maximum hop degree. Furthermore, we determine the $k$-hop domination defects of the join of some graphs.

Analytic Solutions of the Time-Fractional Date-Jimbo-Kashiwara-Miwa Equation via New Function Transformations
Authors: Yasmeen Bushra , Ahmad Khalil , Fatima Nahid
Published: January 2025

In this paper, a new analytical framework for solving the fundamental nonlinear model, the time-fractional Date-Jimbo-Kashiwara-Miwa equation, is proposed. The time-fractional Date-Jimbo-Kashiwara-Miwa equation is made simpler by reducing it to an ordinary differential equation through the Power Index Method’s multiplication of variables x and t. Because it permits a change in variables, which can uncover a hidden pattern in the equation, multiplying x and t is significant.The original equation’s terms may be removed or their complexity decreased with the aid of this transformation. The benefits of various variable transformations vary depending on the particular issue, but this transformation has the advantage of simplifying the equation, which makes it simpler to solve, analyze, and produce precise and explicit solutions. Both rational and logarithm functions are present in the solutions that were obtained. Through 3D visualizations of the general solutions, our method offers a deeper comprehension of the dynamics of the equation. The behavior of the solution to the time-fractional Date-Jimbo-Kashiwara-Miwa equation is depicted in the paper’s 3D visualization. The solitons and nonlinear wave solutions are depicted in each plot. Our findings show the effectiveness of the Power Index Method in this situation and highlight its capacity to address challenging issues.

Abstract
The Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF) provides a scientific opinion re‐evaluating the safety of butane (E 943a), isobutane (E 943b) and propane (E 944) as food additives. Butane, isobutane and propane are short‐chain (C3–C4) alkanes, which are in gaseous state at room temperature. Their currently permitted use in food is in vegetable oil pan spray (for professional use only) and water‐based emulsion spray as propellants at quantum satis. They can also be used in food colour preparations with a maximum residual limit of 1 mg/kg in food. Two interested business operators (IBOs) provided information in response to the call for data published by EFSA reporting typical and maximum use levels. The toxicological hazards of the three gases via inhalation are known, however this route of exposure is not considered relevant for their safety assessment as food additives. Existing EU specifications for the three food additives already contain limits for the toxic impurity 1,3‐butadiene (1,3‐BD), however due to a lack of information on the manufacturing processes used, uncertainties do remain regarding the potential presence of other impurities not listed in the current EU specifications for food additives. Based on their physicochemical properties, the three gases are considered by the Panel to be of low toxicological concern when used as food additives and their dietary exposure very low. The Panel concluded that the use of butane (E 943a), isobutane (E 943b) and propane (E 944) as food additives at the currently permitted uses and use levels does not raise a safety concern. The Panel made some recommendations for amending existing EU specifications for butane (E 943a), isobutane (E 943b) and propane (E 944).

Published: January 2025

Cosmology is the scientific study of the relationship between space and time, with an emphasis on the origin, structure, and nature of the universe. The universe has evolved through numerous stages, revealing its entire complexity. To fully fathom the nature of our world, we must first understand its origins, evolution, and ultimate fate. The process of creating mathematical models of the universe. Einstein's theory of general relativity explains the force of gravity, whilst other theories investigate gravitational consequences in a Bianchi universe. The class of cosmological models that are intrinsically homogeneous but not isotropic on spatial slices is named after Luigi Bianchi, a mathematician who categorised these spaces in three dimensions. After doing theoretical research, it is determined that infinitesimally tiny singularities do not entirely meet the energy density constraint, and instead, a rebound occurs in place of the universe's original singularity. The solutions have densities that exceed the maximum density and are effective for connecting anisotropic solutions, even in the absence of shear at the bounce.A cosmological model of the Bianchi type II that is both spatially homogeneous and totally anisotropic. In the context of general relativity, the model is filled with pressure-less matter and anisotropic modified Ricci dark energy, as well as an attracting massive scalar field.
A solution to Einstein's field equations using Bianchi type II space-time, which provides a logical explanation for the inflationary state and isotropy in the absence of singularities or particle boundaries.

Authors: K.Rajeswari  , Kaviyarasan  , R.Purusothaman  , V.Naveen  , R.Saran
Published: January 2025

Currency recognition for blind people is an important issue as it allows them to independently manage their finances and enhance their daily lives. In this paper a novel system is proposed for currency recognition using computer vision and machine learning techniques. The system utilizes a camera and image processing algorithms to extract features from banknotes and classify them according to their denomination. Currency recognition technology can greatly benefit visually impaired individuals by providing them with the ability to manage their finances independently. Blind people often face challenges when it comes to managing their money, as they cannot distinguish between different denominations of banknotes. This technology can empower them to confidently identify and manage their money, enhancing their daily lives and improving their financial independence. In addition to helping blind people, currency recognition technology can also benefit other individuals and organizations, such as banks, retailers, and vending machine operators. These entities can use this technology to automate their processes and improve the efficiency of their operations. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is a deep learning algorithm that is widely used in image recognition and computer vision applications. CNN has been shown to achieve high accuracy in recognizing complex patterns and features in images, making it an ideal algorithm for currency recognition for blind people. To implement currency recognition using CNN, the system would first need to collect a large dataset of banknote images of different denominations. The CNN would then be trained on the preprocessed images, with the goal of learning the underlying patterns and features that differentiate one banknote denomination from another. The training process would involve forward and backward propagation of the data through the network, with the weights and biases of the filters being updated at each iteration to minimize the error between the predicted and actual denominations .

The dependent variable was the total EQ-5D score, while the independent variables comprised sub-domains of basic activities of daily living (Model 1) and instrumental activities of daily living (Model 2). Model 3 included all variables except etiology. Stepwise multiple regression analysis was employed for statistical analysis.
In Model 1, dressing (p=.004) and transfer (p=.005) affected EQ-5D (R²=.760). In Model 2, public transportation use (p<.001) affected EQ-5D (R²= .695). In Model 3 (R²=.809), factors affecting EQ-5D were dressing (p=.015), transfer (p=.002), disability grade (p=.042), and onset duration (p=.045).
These findings suggest that occupational therapists should consider disability grade and onset duration when designing interventions to enhance activities of daily living in disabled adults with traumatic brain injury. Intervention programs should prioritize improving dressing, transfer, and public transportation use to promote a better quality of life in this population.

The development of learning in the 21st century emphasizes the improvement of Science Process Skills (SPS). However, the implementation of SPS has not been able to be realized by teachers due to the limitations of the teaching materials used. The data obtained shows that the average value of SPS for students is still categorized as low, which is 43.3%. This study aims to test the effectiveness of the implementation of E-module based on Problem Research Based Learning (PRBL) on students' Science Process Skills (SPS). The research method used is Quasi Experimental research with research samples of class VIII A and VIII D in one of the Surakarta State Junior High Schools. The experimental class was given an e-module based on PRBL containing material on elements, compounds and mixtures while the control class used the BSE book with an interactive lecture method. The data collection technique used a written test instrument in the form of a SPS test with a reasoned multiple choice type. The effectiveness test used was the t-test, effect size and n-gain score. The results of the t-test showed a significance value of 0.00 which means there is a significant difference between the experimental class and the control class. These results prove that there is a difference in the results of students' SPS between the experimental class and the control class. Furthermore, the results of the effect size test with a moderate effect category of 0.63 and the n-gain score test with a high category of 0.702 for the experimental class. Based on the results of the three tests, it can be concluded that the implementation of PRBL-based e-modules is effective in increasing students' SPS.

The rapid development of information technology currently demands a transformation in the education assessment system, especially in Vocational High Schools (SMK). One of the challenges faced is the limited facilities and infrastructure such as computer laboratories that are not comparable to the number of students, so that the implementation of computer-based test (CBT) is less than optimal. The aim is to develop an Android-based CBT assessment system that is integrated with the Case Method in the Business Economics subject in SMK. This innovation is designed so that students can take exams anytime and anywhere, without being constrained by limited computer devices or internship schedules. The ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) development method with the Waterfall Development Model approach to build the system. The developed system was validated by material and media experts, followed by small-scale and large-scale trials on class XI students of SMK Negeri 14 Medan. This Android-based CBT system is effective and feasible to use. In terms of usability, this system received a positive response from students, with high scores on indicators of ease of use, speed of access, and time efficiency. The integration of Case Method- based questions has also been shown to improve students' understanding in solving real problems in the field of Business Economics. The CBT system based on Android integrated with Case Method is able to be an effective solution to overcome the limitations of facilities and infrastructure in vocational schools. The implications provide significant contributions in supporting the digitalization of education and improving the quality of learning evaluation in schools.

This study aims to identify the differences between saltwater, freshwater, and imitation pearls based on their morphology and topography. Samples were collected from the pearl trading center in Sekarbela, Mataram, Lombok, Nusa Tenggara Barat. The methods employed included physical analysis focusing on origin, formation process, shape, weight, color and light reflection, as well as price. Additionally, morphological and topographical scanning was conducted using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)-EDS to obtain more detailed data. The research findings revealed significant differences among the three types of pearls, particularly in color reflection and luster. Saltwater pearls exhibited the strongest and most radiant color reflection compared to freshwater and imitation. Morphological examination showed pearl grains were irregular in shape and varied in size. Bright colors were predominantly associated with elements having high atomic numbers, whereas dark colors were linked to elements with low atomic numbers. The EDS analysis indicated distinct differences in the chemical composition of each pearl type. Calcium was found to dominate in saltwater pearls, carbon in freshwater pearls, and silicon in imitation. These findings provide deeper insights into the morphological characteristics and chemical compositions of each type of pearl, enhancing the identification of quality differences and the unique traits of each variety.
