Published: December 2024

This article is devoted to the identification of patterns and features of the post-Soviet transformation of the settlement system of the Altai Republic. Population change is a fundamental resultant indicator that reflects a variety of socio-economic processes. However, these processes often remain unconscious and incomprehensible in terms of the specifics of their course and social consequences. The negative dynamics of the population of settlements demonstrates the crisis phenomena caused by the liquidation of industries and changes in management systems. The article analyzes the changes in the population of settlements of the Altai Republic that occurred in the post-Soviet period, spatial shifts in population density, key factors of ongoing transformational processes and existing trends. Based on a comparison of statistical data from the population censuses of 1989 and 2021, geoinformation analysis and in-depth interviews, conclusions are drawn regarding the patterns of spatial dynamics of the settlement system in the studied region. As part of the research, a geodata database was created, on the basis of which a series of thematic maps was created. The key revealed pattern is the demographic polarization of the Altai Republic in the post-Soviet period. Against the background of general population growth, it is redistributed into large settlements, while reducing the population in medium-sized settlements and in some cases abolishing small settlements that are located far from the main communications and settlement centers. This leads to the desolation of vast areas around such settlements. The developed series of maps allows you to visually assess the spatial patterns of transformation of the population of a network of settlements. Despite the positive dynamics of the population of the Altai Republic, spatial differences in population dynamics have a complex structure.
About the creation of a digital 3d model of trees in the city of Krasnodar

Published: December 2024

Among Russian cities, Krasnodar demonstrates phenomenal dynamics of population growth and urban infrastructure development. The growth of the city is accompanied by high and dense buildings, technogenic transformations of the soil and vegetation cover, leading to disturbances in the thermal and water exchange regime and other little-studied geophysical effects. These effects, in turn, lead to disturbances in the physiological comfort of residents. Assessing the state of a large city as an urban system in terms of local climate, provision of open spaces, and landscaping is possible with a highly accurate three-dimensional digital model of the city. The article presents the results of developing a three-dimensional model of a large city (Krasnodar) based on airborne laser scanning data, i.e. lidar technologies. The initial data for creating the model is a cloud of laser reflection points (5.2 billion points with a density of 5–15 points per 1 m2) and aerial photography materials over an area of 839 km2. The created 3D model combined the main digital layers: a digital elevation model, hydrographic objects, buildings, and tree plantations. In the conditions of Krasnodar, located in a semiarid climate, special attention is paid to modeling tree plantations using laser scanning data with the accuracy of an individual tree. A modeling technique is proposed, including tree recognition, artifact removal, and calculation of the characteristics of each tree (coordinates, height, radius and projection area of the crown). Based on the obtained database, a set of analytical maps was constructed that operate on quantitative indicators of landscaping (tree density, projective cover area) and reflect the spatial structure of tree plantations in the city of Krasnodar. The maps clearly show landscaping defects both within functional zones and in the citywide landscaping system. The scope of the research is: urban planning, improvement of architectural and construction design, increasing the technical and economic feasibility of design solutions, improving the landscaping system and a reasonable assessment of the quality of the urban environment.
Geoinformation method for identifying and analyzing areas of concentration of traffic accidents
Authors: Izrailev Lev , Gordienko Larisa
Published: December 2024

According to the World Health Organization, about 1.25 million people die each year in car accidents, and 30–50 million people get seriously injured. In the Russian Federation, this figure has averaged about 17 000 deaths and 201 000 injuries per year over the past 10 years. At the same time, the number of cars on the roads is only increasing every year. In these conditions, the task of reducing the number of road traffic accidents and the severity of their consequences remains relevant. This paper proposes a method for identifying and analyzing areas where traffic accidents are concentrated, taking into account the spatial reference of the event and study of the territory. Areas with homogeneous spatial characteristics were combined into clusters and then analyzed in order to better understand the nature of the occurrence of accident concentration areas. Understanding the reasons for the emergence of areas with high accident rates would contribute to more accurate forecasting for these areas. This will also make it possible to carry out more rational measures to reduce hazards in these areas. As a result, this will reduce the number of transport accidents and their damage. The work uses various density-based clustering algorithms: DBSCAN, HDBSCAN, OPTICS. Each of these algorithms is tested in two variants of the search distance and the minimum number of objects per cluster. For accident analysis, it was proposed to use ArcGIS Pro geographic information system (GIS) software and accident location data. GIS ArcGIS Pro has powerful functions for spatial analysis, visualization, and spatial data processing. The paper also concludes which density-based clustering algorithm would be best suited for traffic accident analysis.

Authors: LI Qichao , FENG Jinlong
Published: December 2024

To optimize the structure of soybean precision seeder and improve the performance of sowing, a new rotary spoon precision seeder is designed, and the key component structure is designed using numerical calculation methods. Using a combination of bench experiments and field experiments for parameter optimization experiments, a multi factor quadratic orthogonal rotation combination design experiment is adopted. The experimental data is analyzed and processed using Design Expert 8.0.6 software to seek the optimal combination of parameters. The results show that when the working speed is 24.56-33.72 r/min and the forward speed is in the range of 1.31-2.21 m/s, the seeding qualification index is greater than 90% and the coefficient of variation is less than 10%, meeting the requirements of excellent seeding standards. This study uses a rotary spoon seeder to sow soybeans, providing a new idea and reference for the development of precision soybean seeders.

Published: December 2024

Cassava is one of the world's top three tuber crops, and its harvesting mechanization level is low. Digging-pulling cassava harvester is the main research direction of cassava harvesters. However, the soil-loosening components of the existing digging-pulling harvesters have poor loosening effect, high tuber damage rate, and large pulling force of cassava tubers after loosening. The two-sided loosening shovel that digs and loosens the soil on both sides of the tubers has low working resistance and is not easy to damage the tubers, but there are few reports on the impact of its operating performance. Therefore, this study focuses on three common types of two-sided soil-loosening shovels: the offset-wing shovel (OWS), L shovel (LS), and double-wing shovel (DWS). A two-factor, three-level orthogonal experiment is conducted, taking tillage depth (h) and shovel distance (b) as variables, then range analysis and factor impact analysis are carried out. Finally, through comprehensive comparison and optimization, a shovel type with best operational effects and its optimal working conditions are identified. The results show the LS demonstrated optimal performance when the breakage rate and pulling force were minimized. At the optimal combination of h of 0.25 m and b of 0.6 m, the LS has a breakage rate of 7.576% and a pulling force of 291.608 N. This study can provide basis for optimizing the design of loosening parts of digging-pulling cassava harvester.

Published: December 2024

We have successfully fabricated Mg2Si thermophotovoltaic (TPV) cells with a pn junction on an n-type Mg2Si substrate through a simple thermal diffusion process involving the diffusion of Ag as an acceptor impurity. The current–voltage characteristics of the cell were evaluated under irradiation of 1310 and 1550 nm laser diodes (LDs). The open-circuit voltage (V
OC) and short-circuit current (I
SC) were found to be 0.044 V and 1.2 mA, respectively, under irradiation with a 1310 nm LD. The external quantum efficiency of the TPV cell was estimated to be approximately 24.6% based on the short-circuit current. A comparison of the simulation results with the experimental data indicates that the V
OC and I
SC of TPV cells can be markedly enhanced by minimizing the leakage current and surface recombination velocity.
Linewidth reduction laser thermal-transferred carbon nanotube wirings on plastic film by heat propagation suppressing
Authors: Tagami Ryo , Komatsu Hiroaki , Matsunami Takahiro , Takanashi Kotaro , Ikuno Takashi
Published: December 2024

We have developed a technique to decrease the linewidth of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) wirings on the surface of a plastic film fabricated using the laser thermal transfer method. In this method, the MWNT film deposited on a polyethylene (PE) film was irradiated with laser light, resulting in the intermixing of MWNT and PE at the interface. To control the linewidth, the heat propagation in the MWNT film was suppressed by decreasing the laser spot size and the specimen temperature. The minimum wiring width was approximately 90 μm. Furthermore, the linewidth could be reduced without increasing resistivity by suppressing the heat propagation. Simulation results showed our proposed methods caused different heat propagation and different temperatures at the center region of the MWNT/PE film. Experimental and simulation results suggest that suppressing heat propagation in the MWNT/PE film was effective. This method could be utilized for the miniaturization of carbon devices.

A STUDY OF EFFECT OF MICROCYTIC ANEMIA ON HbA1c IN NON DIABETIC PATIENTS
Authors: Kumar B P Chethan , A R Shoukath , Yogendra Roshan
Published: December 2024

Background: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common diseases worldwide with significant morbidity and mortality. HbA1c remains one of
the most important methods for diagnosis and monitoring of the disease. Since HbA1c is a reflection of the glucose attached to red blood cells,
factors affecting hemoglobin and red blood cells half-life can influence HbA1c measurements. Obective : To study the correlation between the
severity of microcytic anemia and the derangements of HbA1c levels in an adult non diabetic population. Methods : A cross sectional study was
conducted at Mahadevappa Rampure Medical college, Kalaburgi during the period of August 2022-January 2024 on 300 patients admitted to in
patient department of general medicine with anemia and evaluated for the same. Results : Study observed that out of 300 patients; 183(61.0%) of
patients were microcytic hypochromic anemia,25(8.3%) patients were dimorphic, 38(12.7%) were macrocytic and 54(18.0%) of patients were
normocytic normochromic anemia. Comaparison of severity of Microcytic hypochromic anemia with HbA1c showed significant association, as
severity of anemia increased in this group HbA1c also increased (p value-0.001). When we compared other anemias like dimorphic anemia,
macrocytic anemia and normocytic normochromic anemia individually with HbA1c we did not find any correlation in our present study.
Conclusion : Microcytic hypochromic anemia is the commonest anemia in this group of patients. As severity of microcytic hypochromic anemia
increased HbA1c also increased. This false increase in HbA1c level may lead to misdiagnosis of diabetes mellitus so it is worthwhile to crosscheck
haemoglobin before using HbA1c for diagnosing diabetes mellitus in anemic individuals.
A STUDY OF ASSOCIATION BETWEEN SERUM FRUCTOSAMINE, PLASMA GLYCATED HEMOGLOBIN AMONG TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS AND NON DIABETIC INDIVIDUALS.
Authors: Reddy U Pavan Kumar , Mangshetty Basavaraj , N Kruthi
Published: December 2024

Background : Diabetes is the most common endocrine disorder. Serum fructosamine or glycated albumin can be utilized as short-term markers of
glucose control. Both correlate significantly with HBAIc levels. While HbA1c reflects glucose control over a period of the preceding 8 to 12
weeks, fructosamine reflects the average glycemia over the preceding 2 to 3 weeks. This is a result of the inherent shorter half-life of albumin in
comparison to hemoglobin in the Erythrocyte. Fructosamine can be utilised as alternative markers in those patients where HbA1C assay is
unreliable. Finally, they may also have a role in the management of diabetes during pregnancy since pregnant patients need frequent glucose
monitoring.1 Obective : To study the association between Serum Fructosamine, Plasma Glycated Hemoglobin, Plasma Fasting and Post Prandial
Glucose levels among type 2 diabetes mellitus and non diabetic individuals. Methods : A prospective obsevational study the data was collected
from the individuals attending OPD and IPD services at Basaveshwar Teaching & General Hospital, attached to Mahadevappa Rampure Medical
College, Kalaburagi. Information was collected through prepared proforma from each patient during the period of August 2022-January 2024
Results : We found that the Significant differences in blood parameters were observed between the groups, particularly in glycemic control markers
like fasting blood sugar (FBS), postprandial blood sugar (PPBS), HbA1c, and serum fructosamine. Diabetic patients, including those with GDM,
showed significantly higher levels of these markers compared to non-diabetic individuals. For patients with fluctuating blood glucose levels or
those undergoing treatment changes, monitoring serum fructosamine can guide more precise adjustments in therapy, ultimately leading to better
diabetes management. Conclusion : The findings highlight that while HbA1c remains essential for monitoring long-term glucose levels, serum
fructosamine provides critical insights into recent changes in glycemia, making it especially useful in clinical scenarios, recent change in therapy
and for whom planning for surgical interventions where rapid adjustments in therapy are necessary.

Published: December 2024

Solid Papillary Carcinoma (SPC) of the breast is a rare tumor accounting for less than 1% of all breast tumors. It mainly affects elderly females. It is
morphologically characterized by well-defined nodules with low-grade nuclear features associated with fibrovascular cores and shows
neuroendocrine differentiation. SPC can be in-situ or invasive but has a favorable prognosis. It is a morphological mimicker of some pre-malignant
conditions leading to its frequent misdiagnosis. An appropriate immunohistochemical (IHC) panel workup helps in distinguishing this tumor from
its various morphological mimics. In this report, we present one such case of SPC in a 60 year old female patient

Published: December 2024

Aim: The aim of the present study was to investigate whether there is a potential relationship between MRI abnormalities of the common extensor
tendon (CET) and its clinical symptom. Methods: This observational research was performed in the Department of Radiology, evaluating 30
consecutive patients diagnosed clinically with persistent lateral epicondylitis. All individuals underwent MRI evaluation of the afflicted limbs
utilizing a 1.5-Tesla MR system with a specialized surface coil. All individuals had a standardized clinical assessment with a validate instrument
called Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE) the questionnaire. Results: 68 percent were men, 32 percent women. Patients aged 30-40
were most common, followed by 20-30 and 40-50. MRIs analyzed 30 elbows, showing 13 (44%) grade 1, 9 (30%) grade 2, and 8 (26%) grade 3
tendinopathy. Both VAS pain intensity and functional impairment (r = 0.47, p <0.001) are positively connected with MRI abnormalities, as per
Pearson's correlation coefficients. MRI abnormalities were inversely linked with symptom duration (r = -0.24, p = 0.012), suggesting that longerlasting symptoms may have milder abnormalities.Conclusion: The findings support the basic hypothesis that MRI is a powerful diagnostic and
prognostic tool for CLE. After identifying CLE patients at higher risk of severe symptoms by MRI, clinicians may give more individualized
treatment regimens to enhance patient outcomes and quality of life

Impact of inflammatory rheumatisms on the course and outcome of COVID-19
Authors: Sarana Andrey M. , Shcherbak Sergey G. , Vologzhanin Dmitry A. , Golota Alexander S. , Kamilova Tatyana A.
Published: December 2024

Literature reports on the risk of SARS-CoV-2 in people with inflammatory rheumatisms are inconsistent. According to most studies, the risk of infection and development of severe COVID-19 is higher in rheumatism patients versus the general population, but largely depends on rheumatism type and activity. Thus, patients with severe rheumatism most often required artificial ventilation and died more often. It was associated with immune dysfunction caused by both the disease itself and antirheumatic therapy with immunomodulating agents.
Immunosuppression, additional chronic comorbidities, and incomplete vaccination are progression factors of COVID-19, hospital stay, intensive care, and risk factors of severe COVID-19 outcomes and reinfection with coronavirus in rheumatism patients. During the spread of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant, they were still significant. Although there is no full consensus in the literature regarding the association of rheumatism with the severity of COVID-19, rheumatism is usually not considered a factor of increased severity and mortality of COVID-19.
SARS-CoV-2 vaccines boost humoral response, and reduce the incidence and severity of COVID-19. Nevertheless, rheumatism patients show reduced or no antibody production in response to even completed vaccination, along with higher rates of post-vaccination breakthrough infection. Further research into specific rheumatic diseases and the use of antirheumatic drugs in the context of COVID-19 is required to reduce the severity of COVID-19 in this population.

Authors: Da Silva Alves Luana Tamires , Oliveira Santos Castro Borges Fernanda , Alves Guimarães Paulo Henrique , Gonçalves Amâncio Natália de Fátima
Published: December 2024

Introdução: O câncer de colo do útero, associado ao Papilomavírus Humano, é prevenível por meio do exame citopatológico, essencial para diagnóstico precoce e tratamento. Durante a pandemia de COVID-19, a realização desses exames diminuiu significativamente devido à priorização de recursos e ao adiamento de rastreamentos. Objetivo: O objetivo desse estudo foi analisar os impactos da pandemia de COVID-19 na incidência de câncer de colo de útero no estado de Minas Gerais, comparando a realização de exames preventivos e os dados de novos casos antes, durante e após o período pandêmico. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, descritivo, do tipo transversal. Foi realizada uma análise comparativa dos dados registrados pelo Sistema Único de Saúde por meio do Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva – INCA e Secretaria de Estado de Saúde de Minas Gerais, no que concerne ao número de exames citopatológicoscérvico-vaginais realizados e incidência de câncer de colo de útero em Minas Gerais no período de 2019 a 2022. Resultados e Discussão: A pandemia de COVID-19 provocou uma redução de 42,8% nos exames citopatológicos em Minas Gerais em 2020, atribuída a restrições sanitárias. Apesar de uma recuperação parcial em 2021, os números permaneceram inferiores aos níveis pré-pandêmicos. Em 2022, os exames se aproximaram dos padrões de 2019, com uma diferença de apenas 2,6%, indicando retomada das ações preventivas. Contudo, a drástica redução de exames em 2020 comprometeu o diagnóstico precoce, aumentando o número de casos em estágios avançados nos anos subsequentes. Conclusão: O artigo procurou descrever o impacto referente ao aumento da incidência da neoplasia maligna com a redução no número de exames realizados durante o período de isolamento devido ao COVID-19. Esses achados reforçam a necessidade de fortalecer programas de rastreamento e mitigar atrasos no diagnóstico, especialmente em cenários de crises sanitárias, visando reduzir as implicações negativas no manejo do câncer cervical.
Allergy to ceftriaxone and features of cross-reactivity of cephalosporins: an еxperience in specific diagnosis of perioperative anaphylaxis
Authors: Vorzheva Irina I. , Barachtenko Irina V. , Каrpova Alena S.
Published: December 2024

The development of new effective drugs has contributed to improving the quality of life and increasing its duration, but at the same time has led to an increase in drug hypersensitivity, including one of its most dangerous manifestations – anaphylaxis. Beta-lactams, and among them cephalosporins, and especially ceftriaxone, are among the leaders in the Russian Federation both in terms of frequency of prescription by various specialists, and among the causes of anaphylaxis and mortality associated with it. Anaphylaxis deserves special attention in the perioperative period, when the acute development of a life-threatening condition leads to cancellation of the operation or severe complications. To prevent recurrences of anaphylaxis, it is necessary to determine its specific cause, which often remains unclear, since several drugs are administered simultaneously and, in addition, there is contact with latex, components of medical equipment, etc.
The article describes a specific examination of a patient whose surgery was canceled due to the development of anaphylactic shock in the preoperative period after the administration of ceftriaxone and lidocaine. Using a clinical example, modern approaches to skin and provocation testing for diagnosing drug allergies and selecting the safest beta-lactams are presented, and the interpretation of results of determining the cross-reactivity of cephalosporins with identical R1 side chains, but different R2, is demonstrated. The examination made it possible to establish the cause of anaphylaxis and outline the range of drugs that are safest for the patient, including several beta-lactams as the drugs of choice for perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis and treatment of bacterial infections, if necessary.

One of the fundamental technologies underlying modern standards is the technology of multi-antenna MIMO systems. Obviously, the rapid development of MIMO technology has led to its inclusion as a candidate technology in new 6th generation (6G) systems. In conditions of limited frequency resources, the NOMA non-orthogonal multiple access technology and its varieties, which is also a candidate technology for inclusion in future global standards of wireless communication systems, have received great interest from researchers and developers. The purpose of this article is to analyze the options for combining MIMO technology with one of the most promising varieties of NOMA technology – non-orthogonal multiple access technology based on sparse SCMA sequences.

In Bletok Village, Bungatan District, Situbondo Regency, there is hand line fishing equipment. Usually, hand-line fishermen use live bait. But getting live bait is quite difficult and the price is also quite expensive. To overcome this problem, fishermen usually use artificial bait, namely chicken feathers. This study was conducted in Bletok Village, Bungatan District, Situbondo Regency, East Java for one month from January to February. This research aims to determine catch results and the influence of bait color on handline fishing gear. The method used in this research is experimental fishing, namely carrying out fishing operations using treated hand lines. The bait colors tested were red, white and black chicken feathers. Then the data obtained was processed using SPSS using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and ANNOVA test. The catches from Ulur fishing rods during the research were Yellow Selar Fish (Selaroides leptolepis), Fly Fish (Layang Perkak), Bentong Selar Fish (Crumenophthalmus), Mackerel Fish (Rastrelliger sp), Pompano Fish (Carangodes) and Tuna Fish (Sarda orientalis). From the results of the ANNOVA test, it is stated that F count > F table with F count 1.186 F table 3.95, meaning that H0 is rejected, so it can be said that the difference in bait color has no real effect on fishermen's catche

Penelitian ini menganalisis pengaruh bentuk saluran, lebar, dan kedalaman terhadap debit air pada saluran trapesium dan persegi. Saluran trapesium memiliki lebar permukaan 6,5 meter, lebar dasar 5,32 meter, dan kedalaman yang bervariasi antara 0,225 meter hingga 0,605 meter pada tiga bagian yang berbeda. Debit rata-rata yang diamati adalah 0,92 m³/s, 1,12 m³/s, dan 3,27 m³/s. Saluran persegi, dengan lebar dasar dan permukaan 0,74 meter dan kedalaman 0,255 meter, menghasilkan debit sebesar 0,026 m³/s. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa baik bentuk saluran maupun dimensi saluran, seperti lebar dan kedalaman, berpengaruh signifikan terhadap besarnya debit air, dengan saluran trapesium lebih efisien dalam mengalirkan air berkat luas penampang yang lebih besar.

The public's health and surface water are adversely affected by the improper disposal of abattoir wastewater. In this study, 40 liters of abattoir effluent were treated for ten (10) weeks using raw, powdered Moringa Oleifera seeds as a coagulant. Using processed Moringa Oleifera seeds in loading quantities of 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20g, a completely randomized design was used for the treatment. There was also a control (abattoir effluent not treated with Moringa Oleifera). Before and after treatment, the physical and chemical characteristics of abattoir wastewater were examined. The results demonstrated that the treatments significantly lowered the turbidity value, which fell from 15.40 to 7.63 mg/l for a 16g dosage in week 7. For the 20g treatment in the first week, total alkalinity decreased from 216.67 mg/l to the lowest value of 63.67 mg/l. Just the first week after starting to take 14g of Moringa Oleifera lowered total hardness from 116.33 to 78.40 mg/l and conductivity from 1395.7 to 520 mg/l. From weeks two to six, BOD was discovered to be nil. For the 14g treatment, the Calcium value decreased from 31.47 in the first week to 6.23 mg/l in the fifth week. The results generally demonstrated that 16g/500ml of Moringa oleifera was capable of treating abattoir effluent, confirming its capacity to coagulate for the treatment of such waste. The study's extract doses had no effect on the color or smell of the treated wastewater.

Published: December 2024

This study aimed to establish an optimized in vitro callus induction and proliferation protocol from different parts of Indian Brassica juncea (L.) Czern & Coss. (mustard). The leaf and stem explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with various auxins and cytokinin concentrations for optimal conditions of growth of callus formation. Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) at 0.5, 1, and 2 mg/L, Benzyl aminopurine at 0.5, 1, and 2 mg/L, as well as 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) at 0.5, 1, and 2 mg/L were the hormonal combinations tested. Callus production from leaves and stem explants, based on callus induction frequency was assessed in three replications on the set of different periods and culture conditions of light, temperatures, and humidity. The results of the leaf as an explant in MS media supplemented with BAP and 2,4 D in a 1:1 ratio showed the highest callus induction rate after 45 days of inoculations which is unique. After 45 days of inoculation of stem explant, the callus generated at hormonal concentrations BAP: IAA (0.5:1). These generated calli displayed noticeable elongation and well-formed leaves. This proliferation of undifferentiated callus tissues greening, and formation of mature shoots highlights the efficacy of the callus Habituation after subculturing, and continued passage results in no need for Cytokinin additions in media. Acquired cytokinin by callus tissues, results in shooting and vegetative organ development. In turn, these cells allowed for organogenesis where mature plants regenerated successfully. This reproducible protocol can be used in callus induction and plant regeneration, which are important tools in plant breeding or biotechnological applications including genetic transformation for crop improvement. Moreover, knowledge about interactions between phytohormones in mustard tissues has been improved by the established protocol.

HRM operates in the dynamic environment. Any change in the external environment will bring along opportunities and threats for the organisation creating challenges for HR managers. This paper evaluates the various challenges and the most recent trends that have emerged in the Human Resource department in the past few years. The functionality of HR managers has transformed from recruitment process to a whole new significant role, which includes recruiting, selecting, retaining, training, compensation and of employees. Along with this a HR manager is supposed to deal with motivation, welfare, perks, remuneration, infringements, incentives and promotion of employees. This paradigm shift can be attributed to globalization that brought goals to be achieved by the HR department.. One more factor that revolutionized the HR department is technology which brought a positive impact. This radical change due to technology in HR department includes outsourcing, long-distance working model, overseas recruitment, flexible timing, and work from home option and so on. Globalization changed the scope of HRM and technology changed the functionality and approach of HRM. Because of the influence of globalization and technology HR department had to adapt to the changing times and so the scope of HRM has increased.
Two-Dimensional Boundary-Layer flow of Dusty Fluid Over a wedge
Authors: - Balbheem Saibanna
Published: December 2024

In this paper, we investigate the laminar two-dimensional boundary-laver flow of a dusty fluid over a wedge. The mainstream flow outside the boundary- layer is considered in the form of the power of distance along the wedge surface. It is also considered that the wedge is moving with velocity Uw opposite to the mainstream flows. The interest in boundary-layer flow over a wedge has gained considerable attention because of its wide range of application in various problems of atmospheric, engineering, physiological, industry and manufacturing process fields such applica- tions include polluting city air, motion of aerosols in the upper atmosphere, trans-port of suspended powdered materials through pipes, propulsion and combustion in rockets, continuous stretching of plastic films and flow of blood in arteries are some examples. Few examples of such technological process are the boundary layer along material handling convey ears and the boundary layer along a liquid film in condensation process. So the study of two dimensional boundary layer flow a wedge has gained much interest. The influence of dust particles on viscous flows has great importance in the petroleum industry and in the purification of crude oil. Other important in the boundary layer include soil erosion by natural winds and dust entrainment in a cloud during a nuclear explosion. This modelling results into the coupled partial differential equations which are transformed into ordinary differential equations using suitable similarity transformations. Numerical method based on Keller-box is used for the coupled system for various physical parameters such as non-Newtonian fluid index parameter m, pressure gradient β, mass concentration Parameter Mc and local fluid particle interaction parameter χ. The detailed hydrodynamics behind these effects is discussed.
