Экспериментальные исследования влияния температуры и влажности наружного воздуха на работу испарителя воздушного теплового насоса
Authors: Волкова Ольга Сергеевна
Published: November 2023

Актуальным вопросом в современных системах отопления является применение тепловых насосов
в качестве источника тепла, которые широко используются в зарубежных системах отоплениях. В России применение тепловых насосов до сих пор не находит широкого распространения в связи с отсутствием привязки режима работы теплонасосной установки к природно-климатическим условиям регионов. С другой стороны, грунтовые теплонасосные установки ассоциируются со значительными затратами на устройство по отбору тепловой энергии, а применение воздушных тепловых насосов в нашем регионе затруднено из-за отсутствия анализа температурного режима отопительного сезона. За последние двадцать лет в сфере теплонасосного оборудования произошли существенные изменения как в конструкции тепловых насосов, так и в применяемых технологических схемах, поэтому современные тепловые насосы могут работать в условиях низких температур. Правильный выбор установленной мощности теплового насоса, в частности, источником тепла которого является атмосферный воздух, позволит потребителям эксплуатировать их в долгосрочной перспективе. В статье представлены результаты исследования влияния температурно-влажностных параметров на производительность испарителя воздушного теплового насоса в диапазоне температур от нуля до минус 20 °С и относительной влажности от 20 до 70 %.

Impact of Covid-19 on Women Workers in India
Authors: Dr. Devvert
Published: November 2023

India is considered a male-dominated country. The educated Indian woman has a long way to go to get equal rights in society. For any country to develop, it is necessary to empower its women, who are the future entrepreneurs. We have to accept that our country’s indomitable women are not only looked upon as housekeepers, teachers, tutors, etc., but also that it is very necessary to transform them into supervisors, business managers, etc. So that our country can utilise its full human resource power, compete with other countries, and successfully stand with them in every field. But many skilled women are facing a lack of finance when it comes to starting innovative production. The lockdown period has been one of the most challenging times during this COVID-19 pandemic. A new challenge has emerged for working women to maintain the distinction between work and non-work, as domestic work has often been termed invisible work. In women's lives, their domestic responsibilities often go unaccredited as a major part of their lives and are often seen as non-work. although Before the lockdown, women had to work outside; their roles at work and home were mostly separate, and they had to struggle between these two fronts. COVID-19 has had a lot of impact on women workers. In the present paper, an attempt has been made to study the impact of COVID-19 on women workers.

Introdução:  No Brasil, a expectativa de vida atingiu a média de 76,6 anos, demonstrando o envelhecimento populacional iminente. Com essa tendência atual, a prevenção de quedas será cada vez mais importante para reduzir a morbidade, mortalidade e custos médicos relacionados à fratura de fêmur. Trata-se de uma questão de saúde pública, já que 34,7% dos idosos submetidos ao tratamento cirúrgico em decorrência da fratura proximal do fêmur evoluíram ao óbito em 6 meses. Já em pacientes com  85 anos ou mais, o risco de morte é 2 vezes maior se ocorrer fratura de fêmur. Objetivo: Analisar a prevalência, a morbidade, a mortalidade e os gastos com pacientes acima de 60 anos internados por fratura de fêmur. Metodologia: Revisão documental de série temporal envolvendo fratura de fêmur em idosos, com dados de 2018 a 2022 disponibilizados na plataforma DATASUS. Resultados: Em todas as buscas, a região Sudeste esteve em primeiro lugar. A prevalência da fratura de fêmur foi mais alta entre as mulheres e pessoas brancas, bem como o número de óbitos por esse fator. Os gastos assistenciais foram altos. Conclusão: A prevalência de fratura de fêmur em indivíduos com mais de 60 anos é contundente na população. Necessitam-se de mais estudos na área e intervenções que sejam eficazes sobretudo na prevenção dessas fraturas, para evitar impactos sociais e econômicos negativos. Afinal, o aumento da longevidade só é vinculado à qualidade de vida quando associado à manutenção da saúde física e mental.
Generation of spin polarization in a multibarrier structure
Authors: Napitu Berlinson Dominikus
Published: November 2023

The possibility to induce polarized transmission is investigated in a system of multibarrier magnetic junction. In the undeformed system, the transmission is shown to depend on the incident energy but almost independent of inhomogeneity of potential barrier. A proper selection of incident energy is found sufficient to control both direction and strength of spin polarization.   When deformation of momentum wave-vector is introduced, the spin polarization does not only change its dependence on energy but also its intensity. This provides evidence that besides energy, deformation of momentum wave vector could also influence and be used to drive spin of the transmitted current; gaining further control on both direction and intensity. A short survey on the role of local magnetic splitting, ordering of  local magnetic field  on the spin polarization is also given.

Aufbruch
Authors: Joisten Karen
Published: November 2023

The second revised edition of ‘Aufbruch. Ein Weg in die Philosophie’ traces the inseparable connection between the adventure of philosophical thinking and the perpetually twofold nature of man. This book demonstrates that philosophising corresponds to basic human attitudes and can be a path for every person who is creatively on a journey to themselves. ‘Aufbruch’ delineates the open and inherently contentious double structure that essentially characterises human beings in vivid descriptions of phenomena. This can be demonstrated, among other things, through the attitudes of living and walking and of stumbling, tearing down and resisting.
Research principles in social work for sustainable human in long-term care for older people
Authors: Grebenc Vera
Published: November 2023

The well-being of older people is the main goal of research on the needs of older people in social work. To ensure the autonomy and integrity of older people in need of care, the various helping professions must develop and apply ethically sensitive methodological approaches in research and in the development and implementation of practises today and in the future. In alienated systems of care, many people lose their humanity. As social work professionals, we need to understand philosophies of care and people’s daily lives from multiple perspectives. A comprehensive insight into the lives of older people is only possible if we use participatory dialog, respect people’s autonomy, and understand life on the planet as inseparable from all forms of the environment. Research, as the main human strategy to understand life, is a tool to get in touch with people’s everyday knowledge and inner wisdom, which are indispensable sources for creating an ecologically and socially sustainable human society. It discusses in an exploratory manner the development of the global aging and sustainable development agendas, the concepts of intergenerational solidarity and human needs, and discuss the principles of human needs research from a social work perspective.

Despite a lot of research, the actual methodology of how the vertebrate retina encodes the final color experience from its 3 color-sensitive sensory cells in such a way that it allows us to experience the world as we see it through the visual brain centers is still far from completely clear. Two phenomena in particular have shaped our research in recent years: the first was that, despite complex technical filter chains, the colors we see never looked the way we see them, and the second was the phenomenon that we experience the world more vividly, as it appears in photographs. The latest generation of cell phone images today show quasi-plastic scenes, but we only have two eyes that create this impression independently of each other. But that can only mean that the retina processes images differently than we have previously technically implemented. The following paper therefore discusses a new image processing chain that leads to “eye-like” images, without complex filter architectures, by one eye only and process in a bionic way at the first layer of picture analysis, the retina.

During COVID-19, healthcare workers were at risk of infection and needed protection. Unfortunately, crisis-related mask shortages are forcing hospitals to look for ways to reuse masks after decontamination. The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of decontaminated FFP2 masks using moist heat or hydrogen peroxide. It compared the filtration efficiency, chemical composition, and structural changes of these masks with new FFP2 masks. This evaluation was carried out through techniques like scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The finding indicates that the analysis of the chemical composition and structure of the filter media did not exhibit significant alterations or structural deformations. Remarkably, the breathing resistance tests verified that decontaminated FFP2 masks yielded consistent results, differing only by 10 Pa compared to the EN149 standard. Furthermore, the chemical analysis revealed that the filter media in decontaminated masks remained unaltered, with no detectable chemical derivatives found in their components.

Retail product recognition on grocery shelf photographs is a challenging task due to the variety of products and lighting conditions. This research proposes a novel method for completing this task efficiently and in a short amount of time. The object detection and recognition module is deployed on a jetson Nano board, which is trained to trace a path for real time object image capture. The proposed method consists of two stages: detection and recognition. The detection stage is performed by a generic product detection module that has been trained on a particular class of products (e.g., tobacco packages). This is accomplished using the Viola and Jones Cascade Object Detection Framework. The recognition stage is performed using two FCN designs: U-Net and Fully Convolutional Regression Network (FCRN). We extract both shape and color information by applying feature-level fusion to two distinct descriptors computed using the bag of words method. We evaluated our method on a dataset of grocery shelf photographs. We achieved a detection accuracy of 95% and a recognition accuracy of 90%. The proposed method is efficient and accurate, and it can be used for a variety of applications, such as inventory management, price tracking, and fraud detection.

Published: November 2023

Portfolio optimization has been an area that has attracted considerable attention from the financial research community. Designing a profitable portfolio is a challenging task involving precise forecasting of future stock returns and risks. This chapter presents a comparative study of three portfolio design approaches, the mean-variance portfolio (MVP), hierarchical risk parity (HRP)-based portfolio, and autoencoder-based portfolio. These three approaches to portfolio design are applied to the historical prices of stocks chosen from ten thematic sectors listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) of India. The portfolios are designed using the stock price data from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2021, and their performances are tested on the out-of-sample data from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022. Extensive results are analyzed on the performance of the portfolios. It is observed that the performance of the MVP portfolio is the best on the out-of-sample data for the risk-adjusted returns. However, the autoencoder portfolios outperformed their counterparts on annual returns.

The proposed research aims to analyze and optimize the measurement of thermal physical variables during the operation of a hydrogen combustion engine. The optimal measurement of the flow, temperature, pressure, and volume is given over the hydrogen, which is the main fuel of the studied combustion motor. Hence, the success of the measurement is based on the polynomial analysis of the combustion motor operation, which needs nonlinear algorithms to get the optimal correlation of the measured physical variables as well as a high robustness and short response time during the transduction of the measured physical variable, which is achieved as a consequence of the anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) amorphous nanostructures properties that are modular solid state integration of the designed smart sensor. The short response time and high robustness is a good advantage for the designed smart sensor since it gives more time to execute sophisticated algorithms in order to get the optimal physical variables measurement. In fact, the proposed smart sensor keeps the possibility to be modular and solid state for the interaction with the hydrogen fuel as well as recognizing the presence of other molecules mixed in the fluid, which can alarm the user who is able to recognize whether it is joined oxygen or carbon residues. Therefore, the proposed research work toward a good compromise to care for the environment condition based on a cleaner combustion motor operation.

Rapid population growth has caused severe food insecurity and environmental problems. For increasing food productions, synthetic chemicals have been in used. This has enhanced agricultural output, with unfavorable effects on the environment and biodiversity. Microorganisms in soil have been affected, and the effects of climate change have been detrimental. For the wellbeing of mankind, organic farming (OF) and agroforestry practices (APs) could be the best option due to their multidimensional contributions. Organic farming helps to maintain soil productivity and manage pests and weeds. Conversely, agroforestry blends trees with agricultural crops and offers advantages. Improved soil and crop yields, for environmental resilience and better socioeconomic conditions for farmers, are some of the multiple benefits of APs and OF. These methods can lessen the damaging effects of technology developments on the environment and biodiversity. Also, APs and OF provide sustainable solutions to the problems of food security and poverty. APs and OF are related, combining the two disciplines, the benefits could be substantially greater. Boosting APs and OF improve soil, lessen the effect of technological development in agriculture, and support sustainable development and improved livelihoods. If effectively implemented, APs and OF can act as links between habitats, and preserve biodiversity and its ecosystems.

Gallstones in the gallbladder are asymptomatic in many patients but can cause serious morbid and mortal problems in a significant number of patients. In addition to simple symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain, gallstones can cause serious complications such as cholecystitis, cholangitis, bile duct obstruction, pancreatitis, biliary perforation, biliary fistula, and biliary neoplasty. It is important that the problems that may arise due to gallstones are adequately known by physicians and even by patients and their relatives. Being unaware of the possible effects of gallstones can lead to under-treatment and serious complications. Assigning a score to the symptoms and clinical conditions associated with gallstones in proportion to their severity and making accurate comparisons with these scores in clinical trials is important for the use of common language and convenience in studies.
Teacher Quality and Learner Achievement in South African Schools

Published: November 2023

Student achievement is one of the strongest indicators of future earnings. However, in South Africa, there is a continuous achievement gap between students of different races and socioeconomic classes, with more minority and low-income learners underperforming than their wealthier counterparts. These achievement inequalities are caused by several factors, but school-related ones, including curriculum changes, changes to class size, accessibility to technology, teacher preparation, and experience, have the biggest impact and are the easiest to address through policy changes. Nevertheless, teacher quality, which is an important school resource input that can influence student achievement effectively and positively, is sometimes challenging. Thus, given that there are numerous ways to gauge a teacher’s quality, this chapter examines how characteristics such as teacher experience, academic qualification, and pedagogical content knowledge contribute to learner achievement in two rural South African Universities. Research findings revealed that teachers’ experience, academic qualification, and pedagogical content knowledge contribute to teacher quality, significantly impacting learners’ academic achievement, given that these factors enhance the teacher’s ability to engage learners, effectively deliver instruction, and facilitate meaningful learning experiences.

Background: Several contaminants such as trace elements can pollute drinking water sources with subsequent toxic effects on humans. These compounds may also accumulate in target organs and result in carcinogenic reactions. Objectives: The concentrations of heavy metals, including arsenic (As), nickel (Ni), zinc (Zn), aluminum (Al), copper (1), cobalt (Co), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), iron (Cd), tin (2), antimony (Sb), chromium (3), and mercury (Hg) were aimed to determine in the drinking water of Tehran, Iran and to assess the carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risk for consumers. Methods: A total of 66 tap water samples were collected from 22 regions of Tehran and their heavy metal contents were measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health risks were calculated, using hazard quotient (HQ) and incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR), respectively. Results: The findings revealed that the mean concentrations of measured elements were lower than the maximum permissible limits established by Iranian National Standards, United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), and the World Health Organization (WHO). HQ was less than 1 for all metals except Cr and ILCR was higher than 1× 10-4 for Cr and Cd, which may cause human health risk. Conclusions: No carcinogenic effects were posed by heavy metals contamination in the drinking water of Tehran; however, the content of Cr and Cd may cause human health risks because of the high daily intake of tap water throughout the lifetime and the tendency of these metals to accumulate in the human body organs. Therefore, implementing ongoing programs to monitor heavy metals in municipal drinking water and applying appropriate corrective actions to prevent the transfer of these pollutants to drinking water is crucial.
