Enhancing the large-scale electric power systems to meet future demands considering the sustainable technologies
Authors: Alvarez Gonzalo E.
Published: August 2022

Electricity systems are currently expanding towards more efficient forms of production. Several expansionary strategies are being developed to cover increases in future electricity demand. Goals such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing the efficiency of operations, and achieving more equitable participation of the actors in charge of the investments are set. Following this premise, this paper presents a multi-objective model that helps in decision-making on the problem of expanding electricity generation. The model considers more realistic views than other works in the literature. The vast majority of the stakeholders in the studied field are satisfied with the present proposal. Investment costs, greenhouse emissions, and investment contribution rates are considered. Also, the actual procedures of the generation and transmission stages are rigorously studied. This means obtaining solutions that are closer to reality. The case study is the electricity system of Argentina. The results obtained indicate that the recommended solutions are the most convenient from all points of view. They constitute a mix of the generation with renewable and non-renewable technologies. The case study reveals emission reductions of up to 25% and it can be achieved that the most vulnerable social groups do not have to finance future system expansions.

Authors: Chakradhar Ritesh , Ortega-Moody Jorge , Jenab Kouroush , Moslehpou Saeid
Published: August 2022

Welding is widely used in all industries, and its demand is drastically increasing. Today, all sectors of engineering need quality welders to meet their standards. Welders need years of experience and knowledge to meet those standards. They require lots of training, equipment, tools, and safety standards to master the welding skill. The cost of training is very expensive as they will be practicing every day with different materials. The purpose of this project is to train them in a new merged-up environment of the virtual and real world. As a result, this method would reduce training costs and enhance the safety of the users. This method is a medium that helps users to have a better understanding of welding operations and gives them the confidence to perform proficiently in reality along with the elimination of risk, liability, and injury.
Influence of behavioural biases and capital structure determinants on capital structure and share price: Regression and path analyses for Indonesian publicly listed firms
Authors: Lim David Rimbo , Supratikno Hendrawan , Ugut Gracia Shinta S. , Hulu Edison
Published: August 2022

The relationship between behavioural characteristics (both rational and irrational measures) and capital structure determinants has been empirically validated. This study examines the influence of the behavioural traits of overconfidence and optimism on capital structure determinations by IDX-listed public Indonesian firms’ (Tbks) management. This is statistically tested via a comprehensive hypothesis modelling construct that includes empirically validated capital structure determinants (market timing, profitability, tangibility, size and their impacts on stock price). Panel regression PLS and path analysis were performed on stock price data and financial metrics extracted from the 2013–2020 financial statements of 55 Tbks from the LQ-45 and Kompas-100 stock indices. This study found that Optimism, Market Timing and Adjusted Debt on Market Timing are not determinants of capital structure for Tbks, while Overconfidence and the control variables Firm Profitability, Firm’s Asset Tangibility and Firm Size were statistically validated as capital structure determinants. Overconfidence (as a behavioural bias) is observed to have significant negative influence on management’s capital structure determinations, while Optimism has insignificant positive influence. The less aggressive leveraged models adopted by the sampled Tbks may indicate that implemented good principles of corporate governance have played a role in preventing capital structure determinations skewed by managements’ behavioural biases or psychological tendencies.

Authors: ÖNGÖREN Bülent , AYDEMİR İshak
Published: August 2022

Ergenlik, insan yaşamının en fırtınalı ve çatışmalı deneyimlerin yaşandığı dönem olarak tanımlanabilir. Bu dönemde birey, fizyolojik, sosyal, bilişsel, ruhsal, ahlaki, duygusal, cinsel, davranışsal ve ilişkisel açıdan önemli bir değişim ve gelişim içindedir. Çok boyutlu değişimler ergen için avantaj sağlarken aynı zamanda bazı dezavantajları da beraberinde getirmektedir. Ergenlerin bedensel değişimleri artmakta, beden imajıyla ilgili olumlu veya olumsuz algıya ilişkin çatışmalar ve risk alma potansiyelinde artış görülmekte, çatışmalı etkileşimlere girme, intrapsişik ve interpersonel çatışmalar yaşama, daha fazla sorgulayıcı olma, daha kırılgan olma düzeyleri artmaktadır. Kurum bakımı altında olan ergenlerin rol model niteliğindeki bakım personeli ile ya da kurumsal yapıyla çatışmalı etkileşimler yaşaması da olasıdır. Bu süreçte, olumlu ve olumsuz sosyal ve problemli davranışlar sergileyebilirler. Kurum bakımında olan ergenlerin zaman zaman akran zorbalığı, depresyon, madde kullanımı, okul terki veya okuldan kaçma, kurallara uymama, bireysel sorumluluklarını yerine getirmeme gibi uyumsuz davranışlar gösterebilmektedir. Bu süreçte, ergenlerle kurulan iletişim önemlidir. Ergenlerle çalışan kurum personelinin etkili iletişim becerileri kullanılması bu çatışmalı etkileşimlerle başetmelerinde onlara yardımcı olur. Bu çalışmada, ergenlik döneminde duygu karmaşası yaşayan gençlerin ayrıca kurum bakımı altında olmaları nedeniyle duygu durum kontrolü yapmakta zorlanmaları ve bunları dile getirmedeki problemleri, bu problemlerle yaşayan gençlere hizmet sunan kurum personeli ve her iki grup arasındaki iletişim süreçleri irdelenmiştir. Bununla birlikte çalışma kurum bakımı altında olan ergenlerle çalışan personele yönelik etkili iletişim becerilerine de değinmeyi hedeflemiştir.

Reflection of an Online Climate Change Course and Its Pedagogies: Retrospection and Prospect
Authors: Tang Kuok Ho Daniel
Published: August 2022

The impetus to raise awareness and impart positive attitude change toward climate action as one of the sustainability goals has catalyzed the introduction of climate change courses in universities, particularly in developing countries. An online climate change course has been developed and delivered as an elective to the first-year students of a university in China. A reflection of the course in terms of its teaching and learning and assessment was conducted based on the Gibbs’ Reflective Cycle with SWOT employed for evaluation and analysis of the experience. The course has the strength of incorporating abundant audio-visual elements, highlighting important points in slides, employing gamification, and simulating community projects in assignments. However, online teaching could be more time-consuming than face-to-face teaching in certain aspects, such as preparation of activities and games, and responding to students after office hours. Despite this, students felt that more interactions could be integrated, and teamwork might lead to advantage-taking and unequal task distribution in certain groups. This reflection calls for further improvement with the greater use of online interactive platforms and databases; interactions with experts and scientists in the field; delivery of community projects or talks to a real audience; and cross-varsity and cross-regional collaborations.

Investigating English Language as a Tool of Cultural Manipulation in English Medium Schools and Universities in Khulna City, Bangladesh
Authors: Obaidullah Md.
Published: August 2022

This study follows a quantitative research design to investigate the perception of students from English medium schools and universities towards English language learning and cultural manipulation in Bangladesh. A total of 300 students from three English medium schools, two private universities and two public universities participate in the survey. A simple random sampling technique is followed to define the sample size. Further, the study uses a questionnaire as a tool for collecting data. Then, Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 21.0 software is used for analyzing the data. The findings reveal that majority of the respondents are practicing western culture, and therefore, our Bangladeshi culture is gradually being replaced. Though English language has been playing a great role for the communication, it has become a threat to our own culture. The students are much more attracted to western culture and lifestyle neglecting Bangladeshi ones. They start adopting western culture to the detriment of Bangladeshi tradition and culture. Finally, the paper concludes confirming that such kind of excessive indulgence in western culture undermines Bangladeshi traditional values and ways of life. The government along with the language policy makers should emphasize how the native culture and the target culture can be represented in a more sensible and balanced way.

Background: Chest X-Ray (CXR) is routinely used as the primary diagnostic technique in chest trauma but some possibly life-threatening injuries are repeatedly missed on CXR. Non contrast computed tomography (NCCT) scan is a superior diagnostic device in blunt trauma chest. Aim: To compare efficacy of the x-ray versus NCCT chest in diagnosis of blunt trauma chest. Methodology: The present cross sectional study was performed in the admitted patients in causality in Surgery Department of Hind Medical College, Safedabad, Barabanki (U.P). The patients who were treated in level 1 trauma centre for blunt chest trauma and received both Chest X-ray and CT chest scan during study period 2020 - 2021. Identification of the patients was done from the hospital’s registry. Results: while 39 (24.38%) patients were undetected on chest X-ray chest. However, the fractures could not be detected in only 2 (1.25%) patients on NCCT scan chest. Statistically significant variance was found in circumstances of sternum fracture, rib fracture, scapula fracture, lung contusion and pneumothorax. The sensitivity of CXR for sternum fracture, rib fracture, lung contusion and pneumothorax were 100.00% and other injuries like clavicle fracture, scapula fracture, diaphragmatic rupture, and hemothorax were 88.89%, 87.50%, 66.67% and 90.91%%, respectively.

Published: August 2022

This research study has major implications for the development of ESH as a safe and holistic hepatoprotectant and could be used as an adjuvant in the treatment of IBD to minimize DILI. We demonstrate that ESH regulates oxidative stress, NIK/NF-κB-mediated inflammatory axis, and improves the hepatocellular integrity against AZA-provoked deleterious events in the hepatocytes (Figure 5). However, further research is warranted to elucidate the efficacy, specificity, and safety of ESH in AZA-treated patients with normal genetic makeup and gene polymorphisms.
O sistema de direitos fundamentais e sua abertura na ordem constitucional brasileira
Authors: Carvalho Osvaldo Ferreira de
Published: August 2022

A pesquisa empreendida apresenta como ponto fulcral estudar o sistema de direitos fundamentais e sua abertura na ordem constitucional brasileira. Os direitos fundamentais ao constituir densificações da dignidade da pessoa humana, participam da construção da identidade do Estado Constitucional; há aqui um vínculo de implicação e dependência recíproca; sem direitos fundamentais não há Estado Constitucional e, foral de tal modelo, os direitos fundamentais não encontram as condições para sua garantia e concretização. A previsão de cláusulas de abertura estão longe de exaurir as vias do reconhecimento do caráter aberto do sistema jusfundamental do Estado Constitucional. O fenômeno da abertura de que se cogita nesta pesquisa é bem mais amplo e abrangente, traz a lume a necessidade permanente de atualização do sistema jusfundamental em prol da dignidade da pessoa humana. O itinerário investigativo é produto de reflexão crítica, inovadora e inclinada aos valores da ética, da justiça, da moral e da dignidade da pessoa humana nos quais se assentam todos os seus resultados alcançados.

Authors: Bravo-Ruiz María I. , Flynn Linda
Published: August 2022

This study examined the experiences of first-generation immigrant Latino parents of children with disabilities while navigating the special education system and how those experiences influenced their participation in the special education process. A researcher-created survey was used to collect data. Quantitative data were examined using descriptive and inferential statistics. Additional comments provided by participants were analyzed for patterns and themes. Although half of the participants had emerging English language skills, they communicated and often collaborated with school personnel. Most participants trusted professionals, had a positive perception of school personnel, and disagreed with statements suggesting that teachers knew best about their children’s needs. Participation in the special education process was influenced by the children’s disability and the parents’ knowledge of the American education system, among other factors.

Es un estudio descriptivo cuantitativo y cualitativo con un enfoque retrospectivo, el objetivo es identificar los factores biomecánicos que pueden ocasionar trastornos musculoesqueléticos en el personal administrativo de una Entidad Promotora de Salud de la ciudad de Cali en el periodo 2013-2015.Las estadísticas de La OIT informan que las enfermedades profesionales ocasionan un número de ausentismo seis veces mayor que los accidentes laborales, por ende, el 2.02 millones son causados por enfermedades de trastornos musculoesqueléticos (TME) relacionados con el trabajo, estimando una pérdida del 4% del producto interno bruto (PIB). Para el Instituto Nacional para la Seguridad y Salud Ocupacional (NIOSH) de los Estados Unidos, el sector manufacturero es el más afectado por los TME con 41/1000 empleados. En Colombia, el informe realizado por el Ministerio de Protección Social afirma que, en el año 2001, con 27%, el síndrome de túnel carpiano era la primera causa de morbilidad profesional, con tendencia a acrecentar. Según FASECOLDA, con base en datos de la segunda Encuesta Nacional de Condiciones de Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo en el Sistema de Riesgo, para el 2012 de 40.000 enfermedades laborales, el 88% de estas patologías fueron TME, con predominio del síndrome del túnel del carpo.En ciudades como Bahía (Brasil) y Morelia (México), en el año 2010, se realizaron estudios acerca de los factores asociados a los trastornos musculoesqueléticos (TME) que evidenciaron los factores biomecánicos como los causantes de ausentismo, con un indicador de morbilidad alto. Para este trabajo se tomó una muestra de 68 trabajadores por medio de una fórmula, con una población de 270 trabajadores, aplicando criterios de inclusión y exclusión, usando instrumentos de asociación por objetivos específicos (base de ausentismo, método RULA, método estadístico univariado y bivariado). Los resultados permitieron identificar que el género femenino, entre 20 a 30 años, y el género masculino, entre 40 a 45 años, son la población más afectada a causa de los trastornos musculoesquelético (TME) por factores biomecánicos.

Authors: Aysal Bilge , Colak Ozlem , Uscetin Ilker , Batmaci Batibey , Gunenc Emre
Published: August 2022

Introduction : Flexor tendon injuries are important and surgically problematic injuries. Despite universally accepted repair techniques being used, several variables can affect the success of tendon repair. Although it is not very common, patients have to be operated again after ruptures, which increases morbidity.

Material methods : 73 patients who had primary tendon repairs after flexor tendon injuries were included in the presented study. Gender, age group (pediatric and adult group), identity (native or foreigner), the repaired tendons, the zone of the tendon, the time period between the trauma and the repair surgery were noted.

Results : A total of 211 flexor tendons were repaired 72 of the patients were in delayed primary repair period. Patients’ ages ranged between 2 and 61 years. The Follow-up period ranged between 6 and 9 months. 5.5% of the patients were re-operated on as a result of tendon ruptures (n=4). The median ages for rupture and non-rupture groups were 19,5 and 25, respectively (p=0.815). There was no difference amongst the pediatric and the adult groups (p=0,283). The mean time interval for repair surgery was 7,13 ±6,96 days without correlation between rupture and non-rupture groups (p=0,496). All tendon-rupture patients were males (p=0,567). 63% of the patients had multiple tendon lacerations and rupture rate was 4,3% (p=0,623). 67% of the patients had co-existing nerve injuries (n=1,00). 83% were Turkish nationals and there was no significant effect of the ethnicity on the tendon ruptures.

Conclusion : Flexor tendons can safely be repaired in the delayed primary period when universally accepted surgical techniques are used.
Management of HIV in pregnancy – Review of guidelines
Authors: Boorugu Hari , Daniel Riya
Published: August 2022

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in pregnant women poses a multitude of dilemmas with regard to antiretroviral therapy (ART), potential teratogenicity of ART, mode of delivery and breast feeding concerns. We now have many newer drugs in HIV armamentarium with better safety and efficacy profiles, however, data of experience with some of the newer drugs in pregnancy is limited. The most important factor for prevention of mother to child transmission (MTCT) is early initiation of effective ART. Mother to child transmission can occur during antenatal period, during delivery and in postpartum period via breast feeding. Guidelines differ in resource rich countries and resource limited settings. In resource limited countries, breastfeeding is recommended keeping in view the potential benefits of breast feeding to the infant and financial and resource constraints. We need revised guidelines for management of HIV in pregnancy in resource limited settings and clinicians need to individualise delivery and breast feeding decisions based on patient’s viral load and socioeconomic factors even in resource limited settings.

Published: August 2022

Among the many commentators who tried to launch a new interpretation model from their predecessors was Bint Shati' who was known for his studies of literature and interpretation of the Qur'an. Among his works, Maqal Fi Al-Insan: Dirasah Qur'aniyyah, this book is a book that applies mawdhu'i interpretation with the interpretation method initiated by the author himself, namely Bint Shati' with the object of his discussion about humans in the perspective of the Qur'an. 'an. From the contents of this book, it can be understood that there are no synonyms in the Qur'an, so that all the vocabulary of the Qur'an which refers to human meanings have their respective meaning entities. Humans as a descendant of Adam are referred to as al-Nas. All humans have a very identical resemblance in al-bashar, and he is a different being from al-jinn as al-ins.

Structural Breaks, Asymmetry and Persistence of Stock Market Volatility: Evidence from Post-Revolution Tunisia
Authors: Souffargi Wafa , Boubaker Adel
Published: August 2022

This paper analyses the impact of political uncertainty on the volatility of the Tunisian stock market from November 2010 to February 2016. In particular, it examines structural breaks in the variance by using the Iterated Cumulative Sums of Squares (ICSS) and modified ICSS algorithms. Asymmetric GARCH models are then extended by taking account regime shifts. Our results suggest that Tunisian stock market volatility is sensitive to local and political events. Large shifts coincide with civil uprisings and periods of political turbulence during the democratic transition and argue that the relationship between volatility and returns reflects the common effects of political factors. Diagnostic tests emphasize the asymmetric volatility response to news. However, there is no evidence that taking into account regime shifts reduces the volatility persistence which leads to think that the Tunisian stock market is well controlled and supervised.
