The quality of electrical power has become a very important aspect in industry today, in that critical equipment that operates 24 hours a day needs an uninterrupted supply, free from any impurities. This is the case for the ventilation fans used in underground mines around the world. A malfunction, stoppage or breakdown would automatically put the lives of the miners at risk.
This article focuses on the operational safety of the electrical circuit for the fans at the Kansoko mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo and proposes an improvement to the existing circuit. A detailed approach to the methodology of operational safety is given, followed by an overview of the installation of the existing circuit.
We then present our study on the operational safety of this installation based on the FMECA method and use the Fault Tree professional tool to simulate the circuit to understand its behavior in the event of any failure.
Mobile-assisted Language Learning Theory
Authors: - Dolly Ann D. Caraca
Published: September 2024

Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) promotes (1) autonomy of language learner’s in their own progress; (2) provides ubiquity in terms of time and milieu in language learning; (3) empowers language learners to be motivated and confident with their language learning achievement; (4) keeps the language learners to be relevant in 21st Century Education scheme; and (5) sustains language learners’ low affective filter in successfully learning the target language. This study sought to establish and generate a Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) Theory in order to address the gap in successfully learning a second language. With this purpose, this study utilizes Deductive Axiomatic Approach in theory generation following the steps provided by Padua (2012) as cited by Cabello (2021). There are five (5) axioms construed: (1) Mobile-Assisted Language Learning is widespread used in the 21st Century Education due to its mobility in terms of portability and information accessibility features; (2) Mobile-Assisted Language Learning promotes ubiquity in self-directed language learning; (3) Mobile-Assisted Language Learning increases learner's motivation and confidence to study in all forms of learning milieu; (4) Mobile-Assisted Language Learning improves learner's cognitive capacity and autonomy through personalized learning ; and (5) Mobile-Assisted Language Learning supports students to learn in a friendly and stress -free environment. From these axioms, ten (10) propositions were formulated: (1) Mobile-Assisted Language Learning should support compatibility concerns to various operating systems of mobile devices for optimal utilization of language learners; (2) Mobile-Assisted Language Learning should provide progressive lessons to support Natural Order in language learning; (3) Mobile-Assisted Language Learning should contain immediate feedback of the learner's assessments and responses ; (4) Mobile-Assisted Language Learning should make the learning experience informative, interactive, and fun; (5) Mobile-Assisted Language Learning should suit all forms of learning environment; (6) Mobile-Assisted Language Learning should reinforce independent learning; (7) Mobile-Assisted Language Learning should empower learners to monitor their own progress using their preferred learning pace and style ; (8) Mobile-Assisted Language Learning should maximize learners' avenue to experience meaningful and productive language learning ; (9) Mobile-Assisted Language Learning should amplify learners' skill in educational technology manipulation; and (10) Mobile-Assisted Language Learning should encourage language learners to achieve their learning goals and objectives. With these propositions, the Mobile-Assisted Language Theory is generated. All of the aforementioned elements and characteristics support the usefulness, effectiveness, and practicality of the Mobile-Assisted Language Learning.

An Empirical Analysis of Economic Growth and Unemployment in Zambia from 2011 to 2021
Authors: - Mwiinga Namuyuni
Published: September 2024

The study attempts to provide an empirical analysis of the relationship between economic growth (in the form of Real GDP) and unemployment rate for Zambia from 2011 to 2021, using time series techniques.
The time series techniques used were Augmented Dickey-Fuller unit root test for stationarity, Johansen tests for cointegration to test long run relationship between economic growth and unemployment rate, regression using vector autoregression to test the cointegration properties and Granger tests for causality.
Empirical results shows that there is a long run relationship between economic growth and unemployment; economic growth has a negative impact on unemployment, i.e., as economic growth rate increases, the unemployment rate decreases, and vice versa, suggesting that Okun’s Law is applicable in the Zambian economy as they prove that growing GDP (economic growth) decreases unemployment.
The study recommended that the government of the Republic of Zambia need to implement strong economic policies that will ensure a strong, stable and growing economy which will in turn reduce the unemployment rates and hence improve the livelihoods of the people.

Authors: - Sanjay Meena , - Tamishra Swain
Published: September 2024

The intellectual tradition of the West and of the East has examined the primordial question of what constitutes the identity of a person. There are two broad paradigms; the essentialist and the socio-pragmatic. The essentialist paradigm explicates that the underlying and pregiven ontological realities determine the identity of a person whereas the socio-pragmatic models expounds that the social, economic, political, cultural, and linguistic realities structure the identity of a person. Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni in her novels has represented the condition of migrated human beings who migrate from one country to another, from one culture to another and what happens to the identity of a person in the entire process of migration. The paper intends to examine the process of the formation of diasporic identity in the selected novels of Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni.

Published: September 2024

The phrase "space-occupying lesion" or "intra-cranial space-occupying lesion" refers to any primary or secondary neoplasm, whether benign or malignant, as well as any parasite or inflammatory mass located inside the cranial cavity. Because of the restricted expandability within the cerebral cavity, severe ischemic stroke with progressive edema formation is often accompanied with a poor prognosis and life-threatening circumstances. A brain lesion that occupies space is typically caused by cancer, although it can also result from other pathologies like an abscess or a hemorrhage. Advances in brain imaging have made it possible to detect intracranial lesions with reasonable accuracy, allowing us to focus on the cause of these space-occupying lesions. Here we present a case of a 65-year-old man presenting with sluring of speech and deviation of angle of mouth to the right side. Where the patient already undergone s/p percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. The physician advised magnetic resonance imaging [Brain-Plain & Contrast], which shows a well-defined heterogenous lesion in the left frontal lobe measuring 1.9x1.7 cm with moderate vasogenic edema-space-occupying lesion with the possibility of metastasis, including glioma.

Published: September 2024

Point Blue Conservation Science (hereafter Point Blue) conducted landbird monitoring from 16 August 2021 through 15 August 2023 in predominantly riparian habitat found in Point Reyes National Seashore and Golden Gate National Recreation Area. This monitoring was on behalf of the National Park Service?s (NPS) Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) Program. Progress reports, like this one, are intended to document the survey efforts and to provide a basic summary of the data collected. This progress report deviates slightly from the structure of previous progress reports by summarizing two years of data collection instead of one, as outlined in the protocol. The NPS provided additional funding to Point Blue for mist netting and point count surveys in fall 2021 through summer 2022 to complement the standard point count surveys called for by the program protocol. As a consequence, data from the entire fall 2021 through summer 2023 time frame are fully summarized in this report.
Point Blue staff conducted monitoring at 15 study sites within the parks using one or both of two methods: point counts and constant-effort mist netting. We report on point count surveys that were conducted during the peak landbird breeding season (May?June) of 2022 and 2023 and mist netting (and associated bird banding) that was conducted in fall 2021 through summer 2023. Staff conduct monitoring at the entire suite of point count sites every third year, which was the 2023 breeding season. Additionally, staff conduct monitoring annually at a subset of core sites (mist netting and point counts) as part of Point Blue?s Palomarin Field Station network of intensive monitoring sites and as a complement to the I&M Program. Staff conducted surveys in fall 2021 through summer 2022 only at these core sites.
Of the 126 bird species detected between fall 2021 and summer 2023, 32 are California Partners in Flight Focal Species (CalPIF 2000, CalPIF 2002a, CalPIF 2002b, CalPIF 2004, CalPIF 2009, RHJV 2004), six are California Bird Species of Special Concern (Shuford and Gardali 2008), and one is listed as Threatened by the State of California (CNDDB 2023).
Public outreach, via in-person and virtual demonstrations, is an important component of Point Blue?s mist-netting programs. As we navigated reopening to public visitation following COVID-19 restrictions, over 700 members of the public viewed mist netting in person at the study sites as part of organized groups during this two-year period.

Published: September 2024

Commercial watermelon cultivation at open field depends on granular fertilizer for higher yield and quality. However, application of granular fertilizer is laborious, inefficient, inadequate nutrient uptake and can cause toxicity. Therefore, smart fertigation system as incorporated by IoT (Internet of things) appears to be the best option to improve such issues. To complete the smart fertigation system, application of water-soluble NPK fertilizer is the key tool. Therefore, an experiment was conducted to evaluate and select the optimum water soluble NPK rates used on growth, yield and fruit quality of watermelon under rain shelter structure. Watermelon seedlings were subjected to four water-soluble NPK fertilizer rates at 75%, 100% (Control - 108 kg N, 247.32 kg P and 153.6 kg K ), 125% and 150% based on common practices of NPK granular fertilizer used in watermelon at open field planting system for 65 days. Fertilizer rates induced at 150% significantly increased leaf number, leaf SPAD, total leaf area and leaf dry weight as compared to control at 14.17%, 16.22%, 21.55% and 15.06% respectively. Whereas, application of fertilizer at 125% significantly increased the leaf number, total leaf area and leaf dry weight with the respective increments of 11.5%, 17.19% and 13.08%. Based on regression trendline, application of 125% optimized the performances of the plants such as leaf number, total leaf area and fruit weight. To conclude, increasing 25% NPK standard fertilizer rate (125%) could be promising for watermelon cultivation throughout fertigation under open field planting system. Further trials in open field planting system needs to be undertaken to ensure the selected rates identified from this study could improve the whole performances of watermelon
Infant Massage: Examining the Influence of Health Education on Maternal Attitudes and Practices
Authors: Namirah Dela
Published: September 2024

Infant massage has been recognized for its potential benefits in promoting infant health and development, as well as enhancing maternal-infant bonding. However, the adoption of infant massage practices can be influenced by various factors, including maternal attitudes and knowledge. Health education interventions have been proposed as a means to improve maternal attitudes and practices related to infant massage. This study aimed to investigate the impact of a structured health education program on maternal attitudes and practices towards infant massage. A randomized controlled trial was conducted involving 120 mothers of infants aged 3-6 months. Participants were randomly assigned to either an intervention group (receiving a structured health education program on infant massage) or a control group (receiving routine care). Data on maternal attitudes and practices towards infant massage were collected at baseline and three months post-intervention using validated questionnaires. The intervention group demonstrated a significant improvement in maternal attitudes towards infant massage compared to the control group (p < 0.001). Additionally, the intervention group reported a higher frequency of infant massage practices and increased confidence in performing infant massage techniques. In conclusion, the findings suggest that a structured health education program can effectively enhance maternal attitudes and practices toward infant massage. The implementation of such programs in healthcare settings may contribute to increased adoption of infant massage, potentially leading to improved infant health and well-being.

Malignant tumors of the head and neck, occupying the sixth ranking place in the structure of overall morbidity among oncological diseases, remain a problematic aspect in oncological practice. Neglect also remains a significant problem, diagnosed in 30-40% of cases, despite the fact that this pathology is among the tumors of “external localization”. Thus, in the Russian Federation, the average annual growth rate of OH and S was 2.14% for 2021 [1,3] and the number of newly identified cases is steadily growing. In the Republic of Kazakhstan, these data are statistically different from those of the Russian Federation in terms of the structure of cancer incidence. About 1,700 new cases are detected annually in absolute terms [2,3,4,5]

Understanding, fast and shallow: Individual differences in memory performance associated with cognitive load predict the illusion of explanatory depth
Authors: Gaviria Christian , Corredor Javier
Published: September 2024

People are often overconfident about their ability to explain how everyday phenomena and artifacts work (devices, natural processes, historical events, etc.). However, the metacognitive mechanisms involved in this bias have not been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to establish whether the ability to perform deliberate and analytic processes moderates the effect of informational cues such as the social desirability of knowledge on the Illusion of Explanatory Depth (IOED). To this purpose, the participants’ cognitive load was manipulated as they provided initial estimates of causal understanding of national historical events in the standard IOED paradigm. The results showed that neither the social desirability of specific causal knowledge nor the cognitive load manipulations had direct effects on the IOED. However, subsequent exploratory analyses indicated that high cognitive load was related to lower performance on concurrent memory tasks, which in turn was associated with a higher IOED magnitude. Higher analytical processing was also related to lower IOED.

Tulving characterized semantic memory as a vast repository of meaning that underlies language and many other cognitive processes. This perspective on lexical and conceptual knowledge galvanized a new era of research undertaken by numerous fields, each with their own idiosyncratic methods and terminology. For example, “concept” has different meanings in philosophy, linguistics, and psychology. As such, many fundamental constructs used to delineate semantic theories remain underspecified and/or opaque. Weak construct specificity is among the leading causes of the replication crisis now facing psychology and related fields. Term ambiguity hinders cross-disciplinary communication, falsifiability, and incremental theory-building. Numerous cognitive subdisciplines (e.g., vision, affective neuroscience) have recently addressed these limitations via the development of consensus-based guidelines and definitions. The project to follow represents our effort to produce a multidisciplinary semantic glossary consisting of succinct definitions, background, principled dissenting views, ratings of agreement, and subjective confidence for 17 target constructs (e.g., abstractness, abstraction, concreteness, concept, embodied cognition, event semantics, lexical-semantic, modality, representation, semantic control, semantic feature, simulation, semantic distance, semantic dimension). We discuss potential benefits and pitfalls (e.g., implicit bias, prescriptiveness) of these efforts to specify a common nomenclature that other researchers might index in specifying their own theoretical perspectives (e.g., They said X, but I mean Y).

The process of labeling text datasets presents a challenge in sentiment analysis, especially those done manually. This is because it takes time, effort, and skill which is taxing in Twitter data labeling. This study aims to auto-label Twitter dataset using a clustering approach to classify tourism twitter sentiment using one of the LSTM (Long Short Term Memory) deep learning algorithms. The clustering used for the auto labeling process is K-means, while the deep learning sentiment classification used is LSTM. The research datasets consist of 10,228 tweets about Yogyakarta tourism in Indonesia. The Twitter data language used in this study is Indonesian. The classification process using LSTM is carried out twice, the first process uses a manual label dataset, and the second process uses an auto-labeling dataset. The sentiment class is divided into 3, namely negative, positive and neutral. The results indicates that the classification of tourism twitter sentiment using the auto-labeling dataset provide better accuracy results than the manual-labeling dataset. LSTM classification model with auto-labeling dataset produces optimum graphs with an average accuracy of 99% while manual-labeling datasets produce overfitting charts with an average accuracy of 40%. The results showed that the auto-labeling process of the class dataset using K-Means clustering can improve the accuracy of the classification results of Yogyakarta tourism Twitter sentiment. The model produced in this study can help in solving class labeling problems in sentiment classification.
