Published: February 2024

When using the coat hanger die method for co-extrusion, the biggest challenges often involve maintaining the uniformity of the velocity distribution at the outlet of the die and ensuring the stability of the interface plane. This paper investigates the effect of different cross-section of feed channels connected to the coat hanger die on the velocity and pressure distribution of the flow at different parts of the die. Co-extrusion of LLDPE (Linear Low Density Polyethylene) and HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) polymers is simulated using ANSYS software 2020 R2 for coat hanger die design with rectangular and circular cross-sections inlet geometry; the results are compared for Carreau-Yasuda model to observe the result differences between rectangular and circular coextrusion channels connected to coat hanger die. Our results showed that rectangular cross-section feedblock generated higher values for pressure in comparison with the pressure generated by the circular cross-section feedblock. The maximum velocity generated in the circular feedblock is lower than that generated in the rectangular one, nevertheless there is more uniformity in velocity distribution in circular than rectangular cross-section.
The Role of Business Communication on the Systematised Operations of Business Ventures: A Comprehensive Review
Authors: Dhanapala R. M.
Published: February 2024

The exchange of ideas, information, or instructions is a fundamental feature of all organisations. This exchange of information may take place between different sections or departments or externally with other organisations. In the context of business communication, the identification of how this process operates most effectively and what essential elements are involved in the process for the sole purpose of enhancement of business activities and profit-making is vital. Still, most of the companies in the business sector have failed to pay due recognition for communication practices which have resulted in inefficiency in operations. The goal of this review study is to identify areas and highlight and explain the importance of good communication in the management process and business growth. The study is a review of literature that adopts qualitative research methodology and with secondary data. In this paper, the review of literature related to business communication has identified the necessity of maintaining an ideal communication protocol within and outside of the organization. The role of business communication is better understood through the identification of functions of key elements such as sender, business information, receiver, and feedback. Further, the role of communication in the business context is better understood through the identification and adaptation of the ideal type or mixture of types of communication: upward, downward, lateral/horizontal, and external. The study has also identified the enhancement of communication practices with the help of digital ICT technologies.
The dangerous construction of national, religious and moral identities in the Ukrainian War
Authors: Vogt Markus
Published: February 2024

The Russian invasion of Ukraine violates fundamental norms of international law and is at the same time an attack on the order of values of liberal democratic societies. The long prepared, ideologically based aggression was massive underestimated. In the foreground of the war are not rationally comprehensible interests, but identity-related conflicts of recognition with their very own grammar of uncompromisingness and power dynamics. For Russia, Ukraine and Europe, the scholarly reappraisal of the highly divergent identity constructions is of central importance. The theological critique of a nationalist-identitarian-political use of the Christian faith is an important peace service that the churches have to perform.
Perspectives to fight viruses. The example of Sars-CoV-2
Authors: Demetzos Costas , Vlamos Panagiotis , Vlachakis Dimitrios
Published: February 2024

Coronaviruses well studied in the past provide scientific tools and knowledge that is used for identifying the molecular basis of the new SARS-CoV-2. It belongs to complex systems and its evolution and mutations must be observed under the lens of the nonlinearity as it is far from the equilibrium conditions. The new properties that SARS-CoV-2 carries were incubated for a long time in microcosm refining its information content. Various animal species acted as transmitters of SARS-CoV-2 to human beings. In this perspective article, we argue that the infection ability of the new virus can correlate with its thermodynamic payload. Design: We suggest that by identifying the thermodynamic content and biophysical profile of the viruses’ proteins using a mathematical framework of nonlinear complex systems, we can simulate its molecular origin and design weapons for fighting it. We suggest discovering for artificial ‘decision-making’ nano-platforms that can decrypt the ‘crypted information code’ of viruses that permit their mutation process taking place not randomly but based on the self-assembly process of its nucleotides following the micro and macro environmental conditions. Main outcomes: Our proposition is to design nanoplatforms (decision making nanocarriers) that can carry thermodynamic variables that could interrupt the mutations, virulence, and proliferation. This approach is innovative and is a challenge that should be checked in the future. This concept needs generous funding by governments for supporting intelligence and innovative research projects. Mainly, we need solidarity between nations to shield the health of societies.

Cracking the code of Earth's magnetic mysteries: ancient secrets unveiled by byzantine bricks reconfirmed by Mesopotamian ceramics
Authors: Liritzis Ioannis
Published: February 2024

The study of the magnetization of artifacts discovered at archaeological sites, such as ceramics or hearth remnants, is known as archaeomagnetism. This technique is based on the idea that some materials get magnetized in the direction and intensity of the Earth's magnetic field at the time when heated or exposed to extreme heat. Development in the field has been made to improve magnetometer devices and sample size, as well as measuring techniques of thermal remanent magnetization. It helped to study the variation of the complex Earth’s magnetic field or geomagnetic field (GMF) for both geophysical and archaeological dating benefits. The rapid change in GMF within a few hundred or decades, as being of genuine origin or methodological and sample unsuitability has been a matter of debate. Data from about 40 years ago derived from well-dated Byzantine churches that first confirmed such geomagnetic spikes is discussed along with recent archaeomagnetic data from Mesopotamian inscribed bricks and Levantine slags.

“The Pulp of Reality” – Boredom as the Material of a Work Of Art in Tadeusz Kantor’s Theater

The aim of this article is to try to interpret the meaning of boredom in Tadeusz Kantor’s theatre. I analyse fragments of three performances that were key to his artistic development: The Return of Odysseus (1944), as well as The Madman and the Nun (1963) and The Dead Class (1975). By juxtaposing different ways of understanding boredom, in a philosophical and literary perspective, with Kantor’s work, I will examine whether and in what sense we can speak of this phenomenon in relation to his theatre. Finally, I will try to show why Bruno Schulz’s ideas may help us to uncover the potential significance of Kantor’s „pulp of reality”.
Proofs as stateful programs: A first-order logic with abstract Hoare triples, and an interpretation into an imperative language
Authors: Powell Thomas
Published: February 2024

We introduce an extension of first-order logic that comes equipped with
additional predicates for reasoning about an abstract state. Sequents in the
logic comprise a main formula together with pre- and postconditions in the
style of Hoare logic, and the axioms and rules of the logic ensure that the
assertions about the state compose in the correct way. The main result of the
paper is a realizability interpretation of our logic that extracts programs
into a mixed functional/imperative language. All programs expressible in this
language act on the state in a sequential manner, and we make this intuition
precise by interpreting them in a semantic metatheory using the state monad.
Our basic framework is very general, and our intention is that it can be
instantiated and extended in a variety of different ways. We outline in detail
one such extension: A monadic version of Heyting arithmetic with a wellfounded
while rule, and conclude by outlining several other directions for future work.

Authors:   Faculty of Law, Universitas Muhammadiyah Jakarta, Indonesia, Muhammad Abdul Azis , . Sodikin ,   Faculty of Law, Universitas Muhammadiyah Jakarta, Indonesia
Published: February 2024

Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection regulates legal efforts to resolve consumer disputes through the courts. The lawsuit for damages is based on an unlawful act. The problem is how the concept of unlawful acts is a strict liability model for demanding compensation. The research method used is normative legal research. The results of this study explain that legal remedies through the concept of unlawful acts with this absolute liability model are by interpreting Article 19 paragraphs (1) and (3) of Law Number 8 of 1999. The concept of an unlawful act with a strict liability model is a plaintiff's obligation to prove the existence of a loss without having to prove a mistake. The recommendation is that the Government and the DPR immediately revise Law Number 8 of 1999 by strictly regulating unlawful acts as a legal norm in the law.

Ureterocele is a cystic dilatation in the terminal section of the ureter that is located inside the bladder, the urethra, or both. Renal agenesis refers to a congenital absence of one or both kidneys. If bilateral is referred to as classic potter syndrome, the condition is fatal, whereas if unilateral, patients can have a normal life expectancy. Unilateral renal agenesis affects approximately 1 in 500 live births while bilateral agenesis is less common affecting approximately 1 in 4000 live births. There may be a slightly greater male predilection. Radiographic studies have been valuable in diagnosing and confirming diseases in the genitourinary system. Ultrasonography, intravenous urography (IVU) and computed tomography urography (CTU) has greatly helped in evaluation of patients presenting with renal symptoms/abdominal pains. Our case study is a 9 years old male child who presented to the Radiology department for abdominopelvic CT scan/computed urography (CTU) on account of recurrent abdominal pains of two years. Previous abdominopelvic ultrasound scan done reviewed a solitary kidney with left ureterocele not in our center. However, the CT scan done in our center showed the left kidney with left ureterocele.

After the international recognition of Timor-Leste's independence, the oil and gas sector has provided a very dominant contribution to the development of the economy and government. In fact, oil and natural gas revenues are expected to be a major determinant of the country's economic growth, although it is known that the final outcome will depend largely on the use of oil and gas revenues. The purpose of this critical note is to contribute critical thinking about the negative impact of the abundance of natural resources, especially crude oil, in Timor Leste, which continues to be the main source of the economy. While it is true that oil revenues are critical to achieving the goals set out in the Timor-Leste national development program, it is also true that oil revenues pose challenges to governance capacity, as international experience shows that countries are rich in natural resources (oil and gas). nature) often experience more waste and corruption than other countries. The negative effect of abundance on natural resources has become known as the "resource curse".

This makes it possible to attend to the expectations of consumers who are increasingly looking for innovative beverages. In this study, we proposed the isolation of yeasts from coffee fruits, samples that have a wide range of microbial diversity. The study was conducted on samples obtained from the Alto da Mogiana region, a place in Minas Gerais known for its high-quality coffees. Twenty-seven isolates were obtained and of these, 52 % were able to use maltose as a carbon source and 87.5 % exhibited low hydrogen sulphide production. In addition, most of the isolates exhibited tolerance to factors such as alcohol content, low pH and temperature variation. Based on these results, two isolates (F702 and F605) were identified and selected for laboratory-scale fermentation characterization. Isolate F605 belongs to the Wickerhamomyces anomalus species, while F702 is a strain of Torulaspora delbrueckii. Laboratory fermentation trials have shown that these yeasts are unable to attenuate beer wort and, consequently, do not produce ethanol. In this context, the use of isolate F605 in co-fermentation with a conventional yeast was proposed. The F605 isolate was selected because of the better sensory profile observed throughout the experiments. The beer produced had an alcohol content of 5.6 %, indicating that the conventional yeast was able to grow and ferment in the presence of the isolate. An assay was also carried out to check consumer acceptance, which showed positive evaluations for criteria such as appearance and aroma. It can therefore be concluded that the coffee fruits evaluated were promising environments for isolating yeast with potential for application in the brewing industry. This reinforces the importance of sustainably exploiting Brazilian environments to obtain new national brewing strains, which can generate financial returns for the economy, as well as scientific and technological advances.

Objetivo: Investigar a associação entre os marcadores de stress oxidativo e inflamatório e a avaliação da função renal em indivíduos com hipertensão arterial acompanhados pela Atenção Primária no município de Viçosa, MG. Métodos: Um estudo descritivo, transversal, quantitativo, realizado com 271 pacientes hipertensos acompanhados em duas unidades de atenção primária do município de Viçosa-MG. A coleta de dados aconteceu no período de novembro a dezembro de 2019, sendo realizadas as análises bioquímicas (microalbuminúria e taxa de filtração glomerular-TFG), marcadores de danos oxidativos (peroxidação lipídica, proteínas carboniladas), marcadores antioxidativos (enzimas superóxido dismutase-SOD; catalase-CAT; ácido úrico) e capacidade antioxidante sérica total (FRAP). A amostra foi composta por 271 indivíduos. Os dados foram digitados em Excel e analisados no programa SPSS, versão 22. Foi realizado teste de normalidade, teste t Student, teste de Mann-Whitney. O estudo foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética da Universidade Federal de Viçosa, sob o parecer de número 1203172/2015. Resultados: Dos 271 indivíduos participantes, 33 apresentaram microalbuminúria aumentada (˃30mg/g); 37 TFG reduzida (˂60ml/min/1,73m²). A média de ácido úrico sérico foi de 5,11mg/dl (DP: 1,44mg/dl) sendo significativamente maior (p˂0,001) nos indivíduos com TFG reduzida (5,88x 4,98). A presente dissertação resultou também em uma publicação digital em formato de áudio disponibilizado através de uma plataforma de streaming. Conclusões: Os níveis elevados de ácido úrico foram associados à TFG reduzida, bem como se correlacionam com a TFG reduzida e a microalbuminúria aumentada em pacientes hipertensos Descritores: Estresse Oxidativo. Taxa de Filtração Glomerular. Ácido Úrico.
