Seismic Analysis of Multistory Building with Stub Column
Authors: Jain Pankaj , Dogra Manish
Published: February 2022

In present scenario buildings with Stub column is a typical feature in the modern multistory construction in urban India. Such features are highly undesirable in building built in seismically active areas. This study highlights the importance of explicitly recognizing the presence of the Stub column in the analysis of building. Alternate measures, involving stiffness balance of the first story and the story above, are proposed to reduce the irregularity introduced by the Stub columns. FEM codes are developed for 2D multi story frames with and without Stub column to study the responses of the structure under different earthquake excitation having different frequency content keeping the PGA and time duration factor constant. The time history of floor displacement, inter story drift, base shear, overturning moment are computed for both the frames with and without Stub column.

Authors: Mujtaba Muhammad , Cuntang Wang , Yasin Faisal Muhammad , Xie Fangwei
Published: February 2022

A new energy conversion system is established which converts wind hydraulic energy directly to heat energy. For this purpose of conversion throttle valve considered as a heat generating source in the utilization ofwind energy to confine the wind energy into thermal energy. The use of throttle valve indicates to calculate the heat generation by using the simulation in Matlab and count the physical and mathematical model of the heating system. Various analyses are made on the basis of throttle valve parameters to compare the theoretical results on various values. To compute the effective results, needle valve used as a testing element in hydraulic system to change the opening of the throttle valve which estimates the heat generating capacity of the system. The opening degree and angle of the throttle valve are analyzed theoretically under the condition of constant flow rate. The effect of stiffness and other parameters on the heating system analyzed at the same time. The results show that the valve opening is responsible for the generation of the heat as more heat can be achieved in case of the small opening. Another analysis is made that the angle changed on throttle tip significantly affects the heat effect of the throttle valve. To ensure the stability of the system the stiffness of the throttle valve will be more conductive to ensuring a constant pressure across the valve port. The Matlab software is used to build a mathematical model for a proper analysis on throttle valve on various openings to check the pressure drop relationship with different parameters.

Authors: George Eldho , Rajmohan M.
Published: February 2022

This paper presents a new approach to eliminate the noise found in ECG signals due to artifacts and cardiac rhythm. This work is carried out using the Undecimated Wavelet Transform (UWT). The signals were acquired using an MATLAB SIMULATION of bioelectrical The ECG signals are obtained through the implant of electrodes connected to a channel of the front- end board. The cardiac rhythm is then obtained using an optic dactilar sensor connected to an independent channel of the ECG signal. In order to get a better identification of the acquired signal the Wavelet filter D6 (Daubechies) was chosen, primarily because its scaling function is closely related to the shape of the ECG, fitting very well with the applications constraints The processed signals were further analyzed using SIMULATION using MATLAB. The application to denoise the ECG signals was developed by MATLAB 2008Rb and is capable of graphically representing the data before and after it’s processed.

Pre-Labour Rupture of Membranes: A Case Report, Management & Literature Review
Authors: Kimera Charles Lukanga , Lukolo Linda Ndeshipandula
Published: February 2022

Rupture of membranes during pregnancy before labour begins, referred to as premature rupture of membranes (PROM), is a known risk factor for subsequent maternal and foetal/neonatal infection although pre-existing infection may at times be the cause of membrane rupture. This infection may lead to poor pregnancy outcome if appropriate management is not instituted in time. Recognition of the period of rupture, by proper history taking, is of paramount importance as further management of the mother will depend on this. This paper reviews a case report of a mismanaged pre-labour rupture of membranes which resulted in loss of a foetus/baby in one of the public hospitals.

Published: February 2022

College Algebra courses have often served as gatekeepers to advancement toward a bachelor’s degree for many undergraduate students in colleges and universities all over the United States. As College Algebra is a core requirement for graduation, it is very important that fail and drop rates for this course be minimized. The ability to pass this class has a direct influence on 4-year/6-year graduation rates as well as retention rates for undergraduate students. Research has been carried out throughout the United States in attempts to tackle this issue. The present study was designed to explore the differences in final grades in College Algebra courses regarding different instructional strategies, college division and gender. Test findings indicated that the performance of college students as measured by final grade in College Algebra courses was significantly different among diverse instructional strategies. In addition, the performance of college students as measured by final grade in College Algebra courses was not significantly different in each college division or gender for different instructional strategies. Findings provided useful information for increasing student retention in college mathematics courses. Students will be more likely to learn and retain mathematical knowledge when diverse approaches for teaching and learning mathematics are applied.

Published: February 2022

This study reviewed conceptual, theoretical and empirical literatu re on problem affecting the effective use of information and communication technology in teaching and learning of mathematics in secondary schools. Secondary source of information based on prior studies on the subject are examined in terms of methodology, research findings and recommendations. Descriptive research methodology was used to analyze the content of the theoretical, conceptual and empirical literature for this study. The study was anchored on Radical Constructivism Theory and Social Constructivism Theory. According to the study, technology is developed to solve problems associated with human need in more productive ways. If there is no problem to solve, the technology may not be developed and/or not adopted. Applying this principle to educational technology would mean that educational institution should create and adopt technologies that address educational problems, of which there are many. Majority of the findings from most of the empirical review indicates a positive relationship between teaching and learning of Mathematics and the use of information and communication technology in secondary schools. Those that indicates a negative relationship states that lack of knowledge of the teachers, low level of training and retraining of resource person, lack of relevant equipment, poor infrastructures, such as computers, network and power especially in the rural areas are some of the factors that makes the use of information and communication technology inhibit the teaching and learning of mathematics in secondary schools. It was concluded that the use of ICT in teaching and learning mathematics can make the teaching process more efficient as well as enhance the students’ capabilities in understanding basic concepts. It was recommended among others that the government, academic institutions and different stakeholders such as curriculum planners, policy makers, experts, teachers, students and parents to be serious and aware of these issues and their consequence.

Linguistic Sexism in the Iranian EFL Junior High School Textbooks
Authors: Vahdatinejad Shapour , Hamid Bahiyah Abdul
Published: February 2022

Gender biased textbook can internalize the sexist concept and can affect the students’ mindset and behavior against the other gender. As in Iran, school textbooks are the only resource for majority of both teachers and students, unbiased textbooks are necessary for students to build up their role in addressing the other gender in their lives and society. To examine this issue, this study attempted to explore the status of linguistic sexism in the current Iranian EFL school textbooks (three volumes) published by the IranianMinistry of Education in 2008. A systematic quantitative content analysis was carried out to investigate whether both genders have been addressed equally or not. Results revealed that linguistic sexism is obvious and the textbooks can be considered sexist because the males outnumber females and are mostly the focal characters. The textbooks present students, in their early exposure to the English language, with an unfair, unbalanced and inexcusable representation of women. The roles of females and their realistic contributions to the society are not well represented in the textbooks. Some implications are advised for teachers, textbook writers and policy makers.

The urban sprawl is the process of a city that evolves from a high density center to form a low density area towards its periphery based on its own phases involving the historical outbreak of a city. The shape, process and effect of a urban sprawl are different. Therefore, studies related to the urban sprawl need to be carried out for each different city, even in the same country. Experience in developed and developing countries suggests that any urban sprawl have a beneficial and bad effect on society and it also poses a problem to the city's management system. Hence, this article is intended to discuss the outcome of a review of a number of literature in relation to the urban sprawl overview globally, and in the context of Malaysia itself.

Collecting data using observation, interview, and documentation techniques. Then analyzed with the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that parents experienced a change in attitude from previously refusing online learning to accepting online learning. Regarding the perception that some parents consider online learning to be effective, they are more concerned with the safety of their children. However, some think it is not effective, because time and class management cannot be ascertained, so it is not possible to achieve learning objectives. Regarding ability, there are 53.33% of parents who are able to use both Google Classroom and Zoom applications, and 20% of parents are only able to use one of them, and 36.67 are unable to use both. The inability to use online learning applications is generally influenced by two factors, namely the attitude and competence.

Use of Music as an Adjuvant Therapy for Mental Illnesses: a Review
Authors: Soares Ávila Keller , Santos Rocha Lara , De Rezende Pinto Alexandre
Published: February 2022

INTRODUCTION: The use of music therapy (MT) as an adjuvant treatment for different types of diseases is promising and valid, given the emotional and cognitive benefits that exposure to music (actively or passively) offers. This literature review aims to elucidate how MT can be used to complement the usual treatment of mental disorders, its best propaedeutics, and possible harms.  METHOD: The guiding question for this review was “In people diagnosed with mental disorders, does MT as an adjuvant therapy offer better clinical results compared to traditional treatment?”. The descriptors used on the search were “mental disorders”, “music therapy” and “psychiatric rehabilitation”, in MEDLINE, SciELO, and LILACS. The study was conducted in April 2021. Rigid inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied. RESULTS: The 15 studies selected for this review come from 9 countries. Most are controlled clinical trials from the United States. They present several benefits of using MT in mental disorders such as depression, anxiety, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and schizophrenia, improving emotional control, cognitive ability, interpersonal relationships, and quality of life. DISCUSSION: MT shows strong positive results in the treatment of mental disorders in people of different ages, offers emotional relief, improved cognitive functions and interpersonal relationships, also reducing stress and depressive symptoms. In addition, it is a feasible therapy, with different applications, but it does not replace pharmacological treatment and psychotherapy. Few articles showed harmful effects of MT, observed only when it was associated with psychoactive drugs, generating unwelcome responses. CONCLUSION: Evidence suggests that MT is an excellent adjuvant therapy for the treatment of mental disorders with different clinical spectrums. Experiments with a larger sample size are required to elucidate the most effective technique and treatment duration for each mental disorder, considering individuality and the undeniable importance of pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy.

INTRODUÇÃO: Na atualidade, há maior conscientização por parte de muitas pessoas acerca da importância e da necessidade de dietas alternativas e sustentáveis. Uma dieta focada no consumo sustentável e consciente de fontes vegetais minimamente processadas com redução do consumo de carne e derivados é o objetivo central do regime alimentar vegetariano e vegano. Tendo a necessidade de ampliar o debate acerca das dietas supracitadas, foi realizado um evento com o objetivo de criar um amplo espaço de debate democrático e científico. RELATO DE EXPERIÊNCIA: A comissão organizadora foi formada por onze filiados da IFMSA Brazil de distintas universidades. O evento contou com a parceria da Sociedade Brasileira Vegetariana. Foi transmitido durante duas semanas seguidas, através da plataforma online Stream Yard pelo Youtube. Os formulários de inscrição e check-out foram realizados através do Google Forms. DISCUSSÃO: Embora exista um significativo número de vegetarianos no Brasil, ainda existem lacunas científicas quanto à correlação da graduação em medicina com o vegetarianismo, o que demonstra que a formação superior geralmente caminha em descompasso com algumas mudanças sociais. As dietas vegetarianas possuem diversos mitos e preconceitos, assim é de suma importância que esse tema seja abordado na educação médica, tanto para conhecimento próprio, quanto para que eles sejam capazes de abordar tal assunto com seus pacientes. As lacunas científicas quanto a correlação da graduação em medicina com vegetarianismo, paralelo ao significativo número de vegetarianos, demonstra que a formação superior geralmente caminha em descompasso a mudanças sociais. CONCLUSÃO: A Jornada evidenciou o interesse da população em relação ao tema do evento e a necessidade de abordar o assunto junto aos estudantes da saúde. Ainda, partindo de um aspecto global, o evento trouxe informações sobre o impacto do consumo de produtos de origem animal para o planeta, conscientizando e informando os participantes. Recomenda-se mais eventos na área para aumentar o conhecimento prático sobre o tema em âmbito acadêmico e profissional.

INTRODUÇÃO: Com o surgimento e progressão da pandemia da doença causada pelo vírus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), a busca por vacinas se fez presente. Contudo, a falta de informação e as notícias falsas (“Fake News”) influenciam negativamente a vacinação, o que foi intensificado na pandemia. Logo, para informar a população sobre vacinas para COVID-19, realizou-se uma ação de educação em saúde com duas frentes. E este relato de experiência aborda as experiências e impressões do grupo desenvolvedor sobre as atividades desenvolvidas e seus impactos. RELATO: Sob supervisão de um docente, e em parceria com a Secretária Municipal de Saúde, foi proposta uma vertente da ação presencial, com abordagem individual de público em praça pública para explicações sobre as vacinas para a COVID-19. Realizou-se, ainda, uma vertente virtual em roda de conversa com estudantes e profissionais da saúde com capacitação desse público para serem disseminadores de conhecimento sobre o tema. DISCUSSÃO: Por ser uma doença nova, as “Fake News” relacionadas a COVID-19 ganham força e aumentam a hesitação da população para vacinar, gerando preocupação na realidade pandêmica. E durante a ação em saúde presencial observaram-se receios da população, que foram esclarecidos, causando uma notável maior segurança e disposição com a vacinação. Ademais, no âmbito da educação permanente em saúde, o público-alvo demonstrou compreensão do conteúdo abordado na capacitação online e disposição a difundi-lo em seus meios de  ação. CONCLUSÃO: Após  análise  dos  questionários  aplicados antes e após cada atividade e do relato verbal dos participantes, conclui-se que a ação “Eu me protejo de notícias falsas e você? Vacine-se” atingiu população e profissionais da saúde, cumprindo o objetivo de orientar e incitar o pensamento crítico, combatendo a desinformação e as “Fake News” relacionadas à vacinação para COVID-19. Então, ficou claro para o grupo, a importância e necessidade de mais ações em saúde nessa temática.
