Direct Comparison using Coulomb Counting and Open Circuit Voltage Method for the State of Health Li-Po Battery
Authors: Amifia Lora Khaula
Published: October 2022

Electric cars have undergone many developments in the current digital era. This is to avoid the use of increasingly scarce fuel. Recent studies on electric cars show that battery estimation is an interesting topic to be implemented directly. The battery estimation strategy is carried out by the Battery Management System (BMS). BMS is an indispensable part of electric vehicles or hybrid vehicles to ensure optimal and reliable operation of regulating, monitoring, and protecting batteries. A reliable BMS can extend battery life by setting voltage, temperature, and charging and discharging current limits. The main estimation strategy used by BMS is battery fault, SOH, and battery life. Battery State of Health (SOH) is part of the information provided by the BMS to avoid battery damage and failure. SOC is the proportion of battery capacity SOH is a measure of battery health. This study aims to develop a method for estimating SOH simultaneously using Coulomb Counting and Open Circuit Voltage (OCV) algorithms. The battery is modeled to obtain battery parameters and components of internal resistance, capacitance polarization and OCV voltage source. Several tests were implemented in this research by applying the constant current (CC)-charge CC-discharge test. The state-space system is then formed to apply the Coulomb Counting and OCV algorithms so that SOH can be estimated simultaneously. The OCV-SOC function is obtained in the form of a tenth order polynomial and the battery model parameters say that these parameters change with the health of the battery. The results of the model validation are able to accurately model the battery with an average relative error of 0.027%. Coulomb Counting resulted in an accurate SOH estimation with an error of 3.4%.

Anatomical study of the origin of obturator artery in Indian cadavers
Authors: Devi K V Sarala , Sakthivel Sulochana , Verma Suman
Published: October 2022

Obturator artery (OA) originates from the anterior division of the internal iliac artery (IIA) and gives various branches to the pelvic cavity, medial compartment of the thigh, and hip joint. Studies in literature illustrate variable origin from the posterior division of the IIA, external iliac artery (EIA), or the branches of both the IIA and EIA. Understanding the pelvic vascular anatomy pertaining to the OA is crucial in averting the risk of its injury in pelvic surgeries. Present study reports on the variant anatomy of the origin of the OA in the Indian population.

The study included 61 specimens from 25 formalin-embalmed cadavers (male-19, female-6) and 11 hemipelvis (male-9, female-2) utilized for undergraduate teaching in the Department of Anatomy. After dissecting the peritoneum and mobilizing the pelvic organs, the origin of OA was examined for variations.

The OA originated from the IIA in 83.61%. It was a branch from the anterior division of the IIA in 65.58% and the posterior division in 18.03%. OA was also given off at the site of the bifurcation of IIA into anterior and posterior divisions in 3.28%, from EIA in 4.92%, from an inferior epigastric artery (IEA) in 8.2%, and from the inferior gluteal artery and umbilical artery in 1.64% each.

This study recognizes the variant anatomy of the origin of the OA. Anticipating these variations will be valuable in pelvic surgeries and laparoscopic procedures such as herniorrhaphy to avoid any untoward traumatic haemorrhage.

Published: October 2022

Maxillary sinus is the largest among the paranasal sinus which is of surgical clinical and anthropological significance. Classification of maxillary antrum based on shapes and sizes using panoramic radiography have not been developed till date. Different shapes and sizes of maxillary antrum were taken into notice while tracing orthopantomogram. As panoramic radiograph is the most commonly available and feasible technology, a deeper study of this topic felt compelling.

: To classify maxillary antrum based on its shape, presence of septa, shape of the floor and presence of recess employing digital panoramic radiographs.

A total of 1000 panoramic radiographs available in soft copies in Department of Oral Radiology, Sree Anjaneya Institute of Dental Sciences were analysed for developing this classification. The panoramic radiographs were taken using KODAK 8000 carestream machine with exposure parameters 73kVp, 12mA, 13.9 seconds.

The shapes identified included cloudy, rectangle, round, trapezoidal, square, ovoidal, pentagonal, hexagonal. In which cloudy marked the highest and hexagonal the least. Among the maxillary sinuses observed a few showed septations. The sinus floor contours observed comprised scalloped, wavy, curved, straight and v-shaped. Out of which a few showed recess.

This is a proposed new classification of maxillary antrum using Panoramic radiograph. From this study, eight distinct shapes of the maxillary sinus were identified, wherein cloudy type was predominant and hexagonal was the least commonest. Only a few had sepatations and recess. Six distinct shapes of floor were identified, of which scalloped marked the highest.

Authors: Nguyen Hong Thu , Nguyen Tran Xuan Linh , Dao Le Kieu Oanh , Do Thi Thanh Nhan
Published: October 2022

The study's objective was to investigate the impact of credit constraints and institutional quality, as measured by the provincial competitiveness index, on the growth of 2,057 private-sector small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in 10 provinces in Vietnam. The data covered three years – 2011, 2013, and 2015 – and the Bayesian method was used. In addition to credit constraints and institutional quality, the paper considered the influence of macro and internal environmental factors on the growth of privately owned SMEs. The findings of the study showed that credit constraints are regarded as a major impediment to the development of private SMEs. Moreover, institutional quality not only has a direct supporting effect on this activity but also has an indirect effect by reducing credit constraints for these enterprises. Additionally, the findings demonstrate the impact of foreign direct investment inflows on the growth of private SMEs. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the importance of innovation and creativity in helping to enhance enterprises’ products and services to meet customers’ needs, thereby increasing enterprise revenue in a stable and long-term manner. Finally, the authors propose policies to improve transparency at all levels of government, reduce administrative procedures, boost provinces’ competitiveness index, reduce credit constraints, and review control regulations to help SMEs. These changes would contribute to the competitiveness of private sector enterprises and create a solid foundation for the country's economic development.
Adaptive Beamforming Model for 5G High Speed Networks using Millimeter Wave Communication in Uplink
Authors: Borse Indrabhan , Patil Hitendra
Published: October 2022

Future generation cellular communications will require increased data rates and transmission using millimeter waves (MMWs), which are an emerging concept to meet this need. The MMW frequencies offer the potential for orders of magnitude capacity improvements. However, MMW network connections are more susceptible to blocking, and they suffer from rapid quality differential. The major limitation of offering multiconnectivity in MMWs is the necessity of tracking the direction of every link with its suitable timing and power. Beamforming enables wireless communications, even with higher frequency bands such as the MMW frequency band. The main purpose of this article is to develop an adaptive beamforming approach for 5G millimeter-wave networks. MMW communication efficiency is improved by enhancing the narrowband weights of adaptive beamforming. Here, the Shark Smell Optimization (SSO) and Bird Swarm Algorithm (BSA) are combined to improve the weight update approach of the new Salp-Bird Swarm Optimization (S-BSO) to achieve adaptiveness in beamforming. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the suggested Salp-Bird Swarm Optimization (S-BSO), an experimental comparison is carried out with the current models.

A Concept of Housing and Settlements based Sustainable Spatial Articulation for Indonesian Cities
Authors: Marmin Hidayat
Published: October 2022

This article aimed at introduce and offer a concept of  'spatial articulation' that sustainable in developing the ideal urban housings and settlements in Indonesia, 'Spatial Articulation' is a concept or a theory developed from the theory of 'Articulation of Mode of Production'—A  theory in the realm of macro sociology that offers the assumption that social formations on the periphery (developing countries) are mastered, at least, by two modes of production, capitalist mode of production and pre-capitalist mode of production—where one of them dominated the other(s). In addition, Urban Critical theories and Henri Lefebrve's concept on Production of ​​Space also contributed to the birth of the Theory of Urban Spatial Articulation. The assumption is that when the capitalists sector reproduces the "abstract (that planned) spaces”, then sooner or later, the pre-capitalist sector will do the articulation by reproducing the "differential (that unplanned) space” in or around the "abstract spaces"  that reproduced by the capitalist sector.

The Evolution of the Regulations regarding the Right to Compensation for Judicial Errors in Criminal Trials - Based on the Influence of International Conventions, National and ECHR Jurisprudence
Authors: Barbu Denisa
Published: October 2022

The legal institution regulated by art. 505-507 of the Criminal Procedure Code represents the last step of the complex of procedural guarantees subsumed by the notion of purpose of the criminal trial. The entire regulation in criminal procedural matters has in mind this axis, of finding out the truth, in the event that the mentioned finality would not be achieved by resorting to the procedural remedy of the ordinary and extraordinary appeals, so that, in the end, the court decision, once definitive, is considered the expression of the truth (res judicato pro veritate habetur). It was noticed, however, that the elimination of errors by means of the above-mentioned procedure does not always lead to the removal of all the consequences of an unjust act of justice, due to the consequences they generate, specifically, for on the person who was previously subjected to judgment. As a result, the legal provisions regarding the reparation of damage in case of false conviction or ilegal arrest are emerging as a complementary institution to the criminal process, necessary for the execution of justice and the restoration of the legal order.

Activity of alkanmonooxygenase alkB gene in strains of hydrocarbon-oxidizing bacteria isolated from petroleum products
Authors: Shapiro T. N. , Manucharova N. A. , Lobakova E. S.
Published: October 2022

Alkanmonooxygenase enzymes AlkB and Cyp153 are responsible for the aerobic degradation of n-alkanes of petroleum and petroleum products. To prove the usage of n-alkanes from oil and petroleum products by hydrocarbon- oxidizing bacteria isolated from aviation kerosene TS-1 and automobile gasoline AI-95, the detection of the key genes alkB, Alk1, Alk2, Alk3 and Cyp153 encoding alkanmonooxygenases AlkB and Cyp153 (responsible for the oxidation of hydrocarbons with a certain chain length) was carried out. It was found that bacterial strains isolated from TS-1 jet fuel, except Deinococcus sp. Bi7, had at least one of the studied n-alkane degradation genes. The strains Sphingobacterium multivorum Bi2; Alcaligenes faecalis Bi3; Rhodococcus sp. Bi4; Sphingobacterium sp. Bi5; Rhodococcus erythropolis Bi6 contained the alkB gene. In the strains of hydrocarbon-oxidizing bacteria isolated from gasoline AI- 95, this alkanmonooxygenase gene was not detected. Using the real-time PCR method, the activity of the alkB gene in all bacterial strains isolated from petroleum products was analyzed and the number of its copies was determined. By real-time PCR using a primer with a different sequence of nucleotides to detect the alkB gene, its activity was established in all bacterial strains isolated from gasoline AI-95; besides, the strain Paenibacillus agaridevorans Bi11 was assigned to the group with a high level of its activity (1290 copies/ml). According to the assessment of the growth of isolated hydrocarbon-oxidizing bacteria on a solid Evans mineral medium with the addition of the model mixture of hydrocarbons, the strains were divided into three groups. The distributions of strains of hydrocarbon-oxidizing bacteria in the groups based on the activity of the alkB gene and groups formed based on the growth ability and use of the model mixture of hydrocarbons and petroleum products were found to be consistent. The results obtained indicate that we need to use a complex of molecular and physiological methods for a comprehensive analysis of the distribution of the studied genes in bacteria and to assess their activity in the strains of hydrocarbon-oxidizing bacteria capable of biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons.

Wokół antropologii i etyki Janusza Korczaka. Szkic zagadnienia i pytania otwarte
Authors: Stachurski Michał
Published: October 2022

W XX w. przedstawiciele pedagogiki społecznej skupili się wokół konkretnych idei i jednocześnie problemów tkwiących w polskim społeczeństwie. Idee te były jasno wyznaczone: podmiotowość, sprawiedliwość społeczna, pomocniczość i edukacja społeczna. Co ważne, pojęcia te nie były tylko przedmiotem teoretycznego namysłu, lecz także były elementem praktycznego działania takich ludzi, jak: Helena Radlińska, Ryszard Wroczyński czy Aleksander Kamiński. Można powiedzieć, że wyżej wymienione osoby w znacznej mierze przyczyniły się do tego, aby procesu wychowania nie ograniczać tylko do przekazywania pouczeń, a procesu kształcenia nie zamykać wyłącznie w metodach przekazywania wiedzy. W pedagogice społecznej XX w. chodziło o człowieka ujętego na sposób holistyczny. W to pokolenie historyczne Radlińskiej, jak i pozostałych propagatorów pedagogiki społecznej XX w. w Polsce, wpisuje się także osoba Janusza Korczaka – pedagoga, wychowawcy, praktyka. Celem tego artykułu będzie próba odpowiedzi na pytania dotyczące tego, jak wizja antropologiczno-etyczna Korczaka wpłynęła na jego idee pedagogiczne, oraz co dzisiaj, w XXI w., filozofia i pedagogika może przenieść z jego wizji dziecka oraz dorosłego na grunt współczesnych wyzwań stojących przed naukami humanistycznymi i naukami społecznymi.

Authors: Al-Otaibi Mansour , Al-Rabea Ali Ahmed
Published: October 2022

This study aims to build a proposed scenario to activate the role of a Saudi institution in achieving the quality of life. To this end, a questionnaire was administered to 323 faculty members. The results revealed how the participants viewed the role of their institution in achieving the quality of life and generally obtained considerable agreement from the sample. The results showed that the university’s major role would be expected to enhance national identity, followed by the problem-solving, institutional, psychological, and societal fields. Findings indicate statistically significant differences in the participants’ responses that might be attributed to the gender variable. Similarly, a statistically significant difference that could be ascribed to the institutional, problem-solving, and national identity fields in favour of males was observed. However, the variables of specialization and academic rank seem to have insignificant differences.

Published: October 2022

Inclusive education and the implementation of Information and Communication Technologies in the 21st century classroom are priority objectives in global agendas. However, few studies focus on and combine the following areas of study: Inclusive education and Digital Competence (IE and DC). This research gathers the opinion of 221 active teachers on these two variables through a sample composed of participants from Spain and 10 Latin American countries. These educational professionals responded to a questionnaire created ad hoc, tested by a group of experts, and based on instruments previously validated by the scientific community. There were 30 items scored on a scale of 1-7 for the areas of study. The results indicate that the participating teachers attach high importance to the study variables, although they lack the training and competence necessary for their performance. Furthermore, basic and advanced levels of perception regarding the importance of inclusive education and digital competence are identified, which are similar in the basic levels and increasingly disparate at the advanced levels due to specialization.

Transition from computer-based testing of national benchmark tests to adaptive testing: Robust application of fourth industrial revolution tools
Authors: Ayanwale Musa Adekunle , Ndlovu Mdutshekelwa
Published: October 2022

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic strongly affected all sectors, including education. Across the globe, governments enacted policies restricting people's movement, affecting the educational assessment industry. During the lockdown, South Africa's National Benchmark Tests (NBTs) were cancelled. In contrast to paper-pencil and linear tests deployed for NBTs, computer-adaptive testing (CAT) is a modern alternative. CAT technology is widely used for licensing and certification exams in most developed nations. CAT is expected to be used by many educational assessment companies in sub-Saharan Africa for their high-stakes exams due to its reduced testing time and algorithms that produce stable and reliable results. This paper aims to provide an overview of the 4IR tools that will enable creation of a comprehensive CAT, such as feasibility studies, item bank development, test-and-calibrate item banks, and specifications for the final CAT. To successfully implement CAT, these steps are essential. The importance of thorough research and documentation in each stage of the CAT cannot be overemphasized. Based on Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) artificial intelligence tools, we conclude that CAT is an excellent modality to adopt for ensuring accurate evaluations of examinees' abilities within high-stakes exams.

Published: October 2022

The shift from face-to-face to a flexible learning environment following the disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic led the universities to fully utilise the learning management system (LMS) as part of the new normal in teaching. Educators in higher educational institutions (HEIs) are in survival mode, especially in developing economies and those with limited LMS experience. This paper has proposed and validated a model to describe the antecedent factors associated with LMS usage to the instructor’s self-efficacy and satisfaction. The structural equation model specifies that 7 out of 10 hypothesised paths provide acceptable fit measures. We successfully modelled the difference along with the prior LMS knowledge. The paper has several implications for the theory and practice in higher education, especially in a developing economy where most HEIs were caught off-guard by the transition caused by the pandemic. We provide theoretical and practical insights derived from this work.

The Analysis of Moral Value In The Cockroach Opera Script By N Riantiarno
Authors: Sholihin Nuris Imam
Published: October 2022

Drama script is anelement that forms theatrical performances. A good quality script certainly has a moral value to be conveyed by the author to the reader or the appreciator of the show when it is staged in a performance. Talking about art nowadays, it can be seen in the expression of human creativity. Art is very difficult to both explain and judge since each artist selects his or her rules and parameters guiding them into their works. It can be inferred that art has three points: a process and product of choosing a medium, a set of rules to use a medium, and a set of values determining what is appropriate to be conveyed by expression through that medium, in order to deliver either a belief, idea, sensation or feeling effectively. Moral value is a message in a story or other works that the author wants to convey to the reader. The message to be conveyed is usually in the form of good values that can be used as an example for the readers. In this study, an analysis of the cockroach opera by N. Riantiarno will be conducted based on the study of moral value.
