Published: August 2024

The article presents a summary of the new energy scenario, based on distributed generation and on the integration into the electricity networks of the generators of small and medium power. They are based on clean technologies and renewable energy, including cogeneration, micro-generation with renewables (non fossil energy sources, such as wind, solar, geothermal, tidal, hydroelectric, biomass), energy storage systems, energy efficiency techniques, and flexibility and demand responsibility techniques. The perspective shows a new system, where thousands or millions of users are their own generators, becoming producers and consumers of electricity. All these generators will be interconnected through an electricity network totally interactive and intelligent. For this new environment a sophisticated control and communications technologies are required to ensure the correct operation of the electricity networks, the creation of new models of power distribution, and advanced technology development of energy storage, power electronics and superconductor devices. The main technology that can lead to this new revolution, equivalent to the technology of silicon, which is revolutionizing the conventional limits of electricity and electronics, is nanotechnology, as well as its applications in the development of new nanostructured materials. The new energy systems will present smaller scale, will be easier to build and dismantle, decentralized, renewable, with localized and decentralized energy production.

Published: August 2024

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has led to a significant number of infections and deaths worldwide, yet its pathogenesis and severity remain incompletely understood. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and transmembrane protease, serine 2 (TMPRSS2), play crucial roles as receptors and molecules responsible for the virus's entry into host cells, initiating the infection process. Their polymorphisms have been extensively studied in relation to COVID-19 severity. The aim of this study was to examine the association of ACE2 (rs2074192) and TMPRSS2 (rs12329760) polymorphisms with COVID-19 outcome and severity. A prospective cohort study was conducted in 2022 at Haji Adam Malik Hospital, Medan, Indonesia. We randomly recruited hospitalized adult patients with COVID-19, confirmed by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The baseline demographic data, disease severity, underlying disease, comorbidities, and COVID-19 vaccination status were collected. The single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) was assessed using TaqMan SNP genotyping assay, and the levels of TMPRSS2 and ACE2 proteins were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). A total of 151 COVID-19 patients were recruited and there were significant associations between age and severity with mortality outcomes. The age, kidney and lung diseases, and vaccination status were associated with severity levels. The results showed the CC genotype of ACE2 had the highest proportion, followed by TT and CT genotypes among patients, while CT was the most prevalent genotype, followed by CC and TT for TMPRSS2. This study did not find a significant association between ACE2 and TMPRSS2 genetic variants with disease severity and outcome but highlighted a specific association of TMPRSS2 SNP with mortality within the group. In addition, ACE2 concentration was significant different between mild-moderate and severe-critical COVID-19 groups (p=0.033).

Linguistic Assimilation: The Influence of Hausa Language on Tsuresha (Gungagawa Language) of Yauri Emirate, Northern Nigeria
Authors: Y. Idris , Y. Abubakar
Published: August 2024

The word Gungawa is used by the Hausa people in Yauri to refer to people who lived on the islands of the River Niger, Northern Nigeria. The islands in the River Niger in Yauri Emirate were the traditional homelands of the Gungawa. They are a distinct ethnic group in Yauri Emirate who called themselves Baresha and called their language Tsuresha. At present, the Baresha (Gungawa) are found in Yauri, Ngaski and Shanga Local Government Areas (Yauri Emirate) in Kebbi State. Few are also found in Agwara and Borgu Local Government Areas of Niger State, largely due to migrations. These people have been in Yauri for over 500 years now. However, since 1968 when they were resettled by the Nigerian government to give space for the construction and operation of the Kainji Dam, the Tsuresha (Gunganci) language has been facing serious existential challenges especially due to the overbearing influence of Hausa, the most dominant language in Northern Nigeria. As the Baresha came into much more in contact with other people, particularly the Hausa speaking people, their ancestral language continue to diminish. The end result is that, Tsuresha is becoming endangered. Most Gungagawa people now speak the Hausa language fluently, dress like the Hausa people and most often identify themselves as Hausa not as Baresha (Gungawa). This paper aims explores the influence of Hausa language on the language of this distinct ethnic group of Yauri origin.

The study compared the hematological profiles of cultured and wild Clarias gariepinus from selected fish farms and rivers in Southeast Nigeria. Wild fish were collected from Anambra, Imo, Otamiri and Cross Rivers while farmed fish were sampled from Awka, Umuahia, Owerri and Abakaliki farms. 15 C. gariepinus were collected monthly from each of the rivers and farms for 12 months (January – December 2023). The overall mean weight of wild fish and farmed fish examined were 339.14 ± 2.84 and 345.87 ± 3.06g respectively. There were no significant differences (p < 0.05) in packed cell volume between the wild and cultured fish. Hemoglobin, red blood cell count, mean cell hemoglobin, mean cell hemoglobin concentration, white blood cell and monocytes counts in the wild population were significantly higher (p < 0.05) than that in the cultured type. Furthermore, mean cell volume, neutrophils, lymphocytes and platelet count in cultured individuals were significantly lower (p < 0.05) than that in wild catfish. The introduction of regular checks of the blood profiles in wild and farmed fish is highly recommended, since blood collection for analytical objectives need not kill the fish and can be applied repeatedly to the same individuals.

The Phenomenon of Boredom: An Intricate Exploration of its Ubiquitous Presence in Contemporary Social Constructs and Everyday Life
Authors: Lahiri Amlan
Published: August 2024

Though it is a common sensation felt by people of all ages and cultures, the importance of boredom is sometimes underappreciated in favour of stronger emotions like joy or sadness. This essay explores boredom as a multifaceted phenomenon with two facets: predictable monotony and social rhythm problems. The study investigates boredom among college students using a mixed-methods approach that includes surveys, focus groups, and interviews, exposing its ubiquitous nature and variety of reasons. According to research, boredom is becoming more and more common in contemporary culture, which is made worse by the quick speed at which technology is developing and the social norm that demands constant participation. There is a strong correlation between stress and boredom, which is indicative of a larger cultural arrhythmia characterised by an unbalanced demand for meaningful connection and efficiency pressures. The study's findings emphasise the significance of understanding boredom as a result of the intricate interactions between personal experiences and society dynamics. This understanding will allow for a reassessment of institutions and social norms in order to promote engagement, creativity, and wellbeing.
REFLEXIÓN TEÓRICA SOBRE LA TRANSFORMACIÓN DE LA SOBERANÍA MODERNA A LA SOBERANÍA NACIONAL CONTEMPORÁNEA
Authors: Diáz-Velis Cheila , bombino Andrés
Published: August 2024

It is necessary to study the historical controversy supported by specialists of different philosophical tendencies around power and national sovereignty. The following hypothesis is considered: the analysis from a contemporary critical socio-historical perspective about power and national sovereignty allows us to explain these categories and their effect on the nation-state, based on the impact that the phenomenon of neoliberal globalization produces in the context of a world system in crisis. The dialectical-materialist approach is used, which allows historical analysis from a critical perspective. The qualitative research paradigm is followed, based on a historical, explanatory approach with greater flexibility. The main empirical method used is documentary analysis. In addition, theoretical level methods are used: the principle of the unity of the historical and the logical and analysis with synthesis throughout the entire investigation, the movement method of ascent from the abstract to the concrete, by overcoming the dichotomy between the inductive and deductive that requires unveiling the determinations of reality in its contradictory and historical development. The main theoretical result is to reveal how the enormous inter-state asymmetries are hidden behind international relations, as well as the strategies and various tactics of domination of the ruling nations in the economic and political arena based on global capital.

Primary frontal sinus carcinoma is rare, with an incidence of 0.3-1% of all paranasal sinus carcinomas. We present an 84-year-old woman who, about a month ago, developed erythema and edema of the skin of the upper eyelids and glabella, accompanied by eye discharge and slight tenderness to touch. We performed an X-ray and CT examination of paranasal cavities that found no pathological changes. The patient underwent several consultations and treatments from different specialists without any effect. Due to the growth of edema and the formation of a dense lesion at the base of the nose and frontal sinus, a repeat CT examination of the paranasal cavities was performed, which established the presence of a soft tissue oval lesion frontally in the area of the glabella with dimensions of 38/36/40 mm, which infiltrates and lyses the upper part of the right nasal bone, anterior ethmoid cells, medial wall of the right orbit, and anterior wall of the frontal sinus. The patient was referred to an otorhinolaryngology clinic, where a diagnosis of low-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma was made with the help of a biopsy and immunohistochemical examination. Due to the judgment of inoperability, definitive large-fractionated percutaneous radiotherapy was performed. The presented case illustrates the need for broad differential-diagnostic thinking in cases with edema in the head region.

Cancer of the pancreas has a lifetime incidence in the United States of 1.6% [1]. It accounts for 3.2% of all new cancers and is the 12th most common cancer. The survival of those diagnosed with cancer of the pancreas is unfortunately poor. The majority of pancreatic carcinoma patients are diagnosed at advanced stages of disease [2]. Only 15-20% of patients are candidates for surgical resection at diagnosis and the 5 year survival is less than 10% [3,4]. It is expected to become the second leading cause of death from cancer within a decade [5]. Cancer of the pancreas is the only common cancer for which early detection is not universally available.

Authors: Mulyawan I Wayan , Darmasetiyawan I Made Sena
Published: August 2024

Material culture in the Linguistic Landscape (LL) perspective is a public concrete visualisation of a certain culture in a certain society in a given territory. Balinese Hindu culture is one of a kind practice of Hinduism in the world. Balinese Hindus can unite three supreme deities of Hinduism (Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva) into one supreme trinity known as Trimurti. This study aims to analyse the representation of Balinese Hindu material culture in the temple signage of Trimurti in Kuta village. The data was collected by observation using a photographic technique in January 2024 in Kuta village. The findings showed three temple signages of Trimurti found in Kuta village: Pura Desa, Pura Puseh, and Pura Dalem. The result showed that Balinese Hindu’s material culture is significantly represented in all temple signages. Culturally available resources such as local stone are used as sign material in all signage. The local carving pattern of ‘karang boma’ is vigorously used in all signages. In terms of the language used, all signages use Balinese language with Balinese script. Besides material culture representation, the analysis also showed non-material culture representation, such as the philosophical meaning of Trimurti is represented by the spatial location of the signage: the sign of Pura Desa is located in the northern part of the village; the sign of Pura Puseh is situated in the eastern part of the village; and the sign of Pura Dalem is located in the western part of the village.

Bridging the Gap? Fintech and financial inclusion
Authors: Gisbert Josep , E. Gutiérrez José
Published: August 2024

The rise of FinTech lenders offers an opportunity to promote financial access but may disrupt banks’ banking efforts. This paper presents a banking model where an incumbent bank specializes in certain niche markets. When a FinTech lender enters, competition intensifies, reducing the bank’s gains from serving some of its niches. Although FinTech lending can help serve certain unattended niches, the bank may abandon others, creating an ambiguous impact on financial inclusion. Financial inclusion may even decline when the FinTech lender is less efficient at serving new niches and better able to compete with the bank for its customers.

Published: August 2024

Breastfeeding provides nutrition and strengthens the bond between mother and baby, with positive impacts for the entire family. That is why it is recommended during the first six months of life, exclusively, and is supplemented until the age of two or more. Unfortunately, indigenous children were affected by early weaning, making it urgent to adapt the guidelines in the Child Health Handbook to the language of each ethnic group, in order to solve the lack of continuing education instruments for health professionals. This article presents the translation of the Child Health Handbook from Brazilian Portuguese to the language of the Crioulo Karipúna ethnic group, with regard to breastfeeding guidelines. The work was carried out by Nutrition students, with a proposal to return to society, especially to their indigenous community of origin, educational instruments to guide mothers and family members about breastfeeding.

Authors: Sacramento Kelvin de Almeida
Published: August 2024

This article critically examines the principles for assessing the quality and sustainability of social housing architecture projects, using the Mucajá Housing Complex, located in Macapá, Amapá, as a case study. Through a qualitative research methodology, including document, design, bibliographic, and photographic analysis, the physical and environmental aspects of the housing complex will be evaluated. The article identifies how the principles of flexibility, functionality, accessibility, and the sustainable use of natural resources were incorporated into the Mucajá project, analyzing its ability to meet the present and future needs of the residents, as well as its contribution to environmental preservation. The results indicate that the Mucajá Housing Complex does not satisfactorily meet most of the Principles of Sustainability and Quality in Housing Project Design. It highlights the complete absence of verifiers that meet the Principle of Sustainable Use of Natural Resources and the Principle of Flexibility, as well as the high inaccessibility of the Complex. This demonstrates that the housing complex is disconnected from most sustainability indicators.

Las especies de félidos silvestres pequeños que se registran en El Salvador son el gato zonto o jaguarundi (Herpailurus yagouaroundi), el ocelote (Leopardus pardalis) y el tigrillo (Leopardus wiedii). El ocelote y el tigrillo están considerados En Peligro a nivel nacional y solo el tigrillo es considerado Casi Amenazado (NT) a nivel mundial. En el país solo cuenta con el 37.5% de cobertura vegetal nativa y crecientes actividades antrópicas siguen mermado la cobertura boscosa y fragmentado las áreas naturales a nivel nacional. Debido al vacío de información sobre las tres especies de félidos en el país, se busca conocer en que usos de suelo y tamaño de áreas de bosque se registran, así como, estimar qué tan frecuente es el registro de estas especies utilizando trampas cámara. Se recopiló de información desde 1925 hasta 2023 de artículos científicos, tesis de licenciatura, estudios no publicados, datos de colecta de Museos y iNaturalist. Se obtuvo información de ubicaciones geográficas y esfuerzo de muestro que permitió detectar seis usos de suelo donde se registran las tres especies y estimar el tamaño de las áreas de bosque y la tasa de detección utilizando trampas cámara. La especie con más registros es el gato zonto y la que está presente en los seis usos de suelo, el tigrillo es la segunda con más registros, pero la gran mayoría son en bosque, y el ocelote tiene muy pocos registros. Parches de bosque menores a 1 km2, podrían estar funcionando como áreas de paso hacia áreas boscosas más grandes o formando una red de áreas pequeñas que permitan que las poblaciones de estos félidos se mantengan en el tiempo, especialmente en zonas donde los usos de suelo están cambiando rápidamente. Se tiene un punto de partida para plantearnos nuevos estudios que ayuden a mejorar el conocimiento de los pequeños félidos en el país. Se obtuvo tasas de detección de referencia para gato zonto, ocelote y tigrillo, que pueden ser utilizadas para comparar resultados en futuros estudios o monitoreos que ayuden a formular medidas de conservación de estas especies en el país a largo plazo.

The impact of double skin facades on thermal comfort in public buildings in Constantine, Algeria
Authors: Saoussen Bensam , Youcef Lazri
Published: August 2024

In recent years, and in order to obtain energy-efficient buildings, double-skin facades have been used by builders as an alternative to reduce energy consumption, mainly in public buildings. In Algeria, double skin facades have become very popular and widely used especially for their aesthetic value. In this work, we show the role of the DSF to optimize the thermal comfort in public buildings and the contribution of the types of building materials in the optimization. For this, we studied three types of public buildings (of a cultural nature) in Constantine, a city in the North-East of Algeria, characterized by a semi-arid climate. All of these buildings had double skin façade and were designed and built differently in terms of construction technique and choice of construction materials. This research is focused on the comparative study of the (03) three public buildings and their respective temperature status, carried out by in-situ measurements (indoor and outdoor) in two extreme periods (under-heating period in winter, and overheating period in summer) during the day. The results of this work show that the DSF improves thermal comfort by increasing the difference in temperature between the interior and the exterior, up to 10°C in winter and up to 24°C in summer, and that the building materials constituting the DSF and the orientation influence its thermal performance.

In this paper, a numerical simulation was carried out to investigate the dynamic and thermal behaviors of various shapes of a kinetic static mixer. Three-dimensional model of the static mixer was designed using commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software, CFX 18.2. To examine the mixer's performance, five parameters have been considered including Re, Shear stress rate, Nu, fluid temperature and pressure drop. The fluid velocity was characterized by Reynolds numbers varying from 10 to 100, pressure drop, and shear rate has been considered for evaluating dynamic performance. Furthermore, fluid temperature and the Nusselt number was examinate to gain insights into thermal characteristics. In this study, the effectiveness of four different mixer shapes was evaluated. The outcomes underlined the significant impact changes in mixing geometry can have on the fluid's dynamic behavior, which in turn affects thermal performance. Notably, among the suggested mixer shapes, case three shows best mixing performance. This study offers significant knowledge about the dynamic and thermal behavior of kinetic static mixers, emphasizing the critical function of shape in raising overall performance.

As histórias em quadrinhos (HQs) têm conquistado cada vez mais espaço no cotidiano de crianças, jovens e adultos, graças a uma leitura de entretenimento fácil e lúdica. Além disso, proporcionam também uma melhor compreensão dos temas abordados em seus enredos, pois os textos, de certa maneira se apoiam nas imagens e utilizam uma comunicação clara e objetiva. Embora o mercado atual de quadrinhos ofereça uma variedade de modelos desse gênero textual, as HQs com textos em Libras escrita (SignWriting) ainda não fazem parte do mercado consumidor. A falta de publicações de HQs em Libras escrita limita, de certo modo, os recursos literários disponíveis para a Comunidade Surda. No que se refere ao processo de aprendizagem, em específico a proficiência leitora e habilidades de compreensão textual, é comum que os alunos surdos tenham dificuldade em relacionar o conteúdo lido com o contexto de sua realidade; muitas vezes ficando presos às informações explícitas do texto, resultando em uma compreensão textual malsucedida. Baseando-se nos estudos linguísticos de Bakhtin (2006) e Vergueiro (2004), bem como nos estudos da área da Educação Bilíngue de Surdos de Stumpf (2002) e Sutton-Spence (2021), delineamos este artigo, que tem como objetivo geral apresentar uma proposta de modelo do gênero textual HQ, com textos em Libras escrita. Por fim, trata-se de uma proposta de cunho linguístico e artístico para a Educação Bilíngue de Surdos no Brasil.
