Electric iron pulls energy from the mains supply and heats a coil within then the heat is transferred to the bottom plate through conduction process which is placed against the wrinkled garment. The problem of existing dry iron is the heating element continues to get hotter until the power source is continuously drawn from electricity, do not heat up sufficiently, needed a continual charge from its platform every few minutes for prolonged use, cannot be heat up rapidly and fast aging problem. Hence, it is necessary to run the finite element analysis on electric iron part model. The simulation focusses on thermal analysis as it can ease the study related to the heat path and thermal design of simulated product that can be used to improve the efficiency of existing product. The 3D part models of electric iron and five different type of heating coil were designed. Rheological data and important properties of the electric irons were imported as a parameter database in the software to create the meshing on the model. The input parameters are heat power, heat flux and convection while the variable for the simulation process are design of heating coil, power supply, thickness of heating coil and material of soleplate. Based on the simulated part model, the features recommended is design coil 4 with power supply 1900W, coil thickness 0.0015m and ceramic soleplate as these variables has highest temperature and shortest steady state time.

In the present study, medium carbon low alloy (MCLA) steels like AISI 5140 (EN18) and AISI 4140 (EN19) are treated in different quenching media under solutionizing temperature of 855°C. Quenched in SAE 250 oil, polyethylene glycol (PEG) (10% and 30%), and water. The quenched samples are step-tempered at 575°C and at 220°C sequentially with 60 minute soaking time. BHN, YS, UTS and tensile toughness are determined for the untreated and heat-treated samples. It is found that there is an excellent correlation, with correlation coefficients of 0.97. The standard generalized equation for these two steels are established. Tensile toughness = 19000 + 12 BHN- 215 El. The study revealed that the PEG is better in terms of cost, fire-resistant and biodegradable. 30% polymer quenched samples result in better tensile toughness properties as compared to 10% polymer quenched samples.

The exhaust of fossil fuels has made to think on alternative energy utilization like electrical energy. The automobile sector is one where one can replace the requirement of fossil fuels by electrical energy. Almost all researchers and developers are looking for design of new electric bike, without making an attempt to make modification in existing gasoline vehicle. The increase in price of petrol which cannot be offered by many of Indians particularly the farmers. The majority of farmers use TVS XL moped scooter for their day today work. In this paper an attempt is made to modify the existing TVS XL moped gasoline scooter by replacing the internal combustion engine with an electric motor. In this vehicle, the electric motor will supply the power to drive shaft through chain drive. The design and implementation of power transmission through chain drive when compared to hub mounted electric motor is more economical. The main reason for converting gasoline engine into electric drive reduces the financial burden on farmers, reduces the pollution and saves the material wastage (scarp).

CFD Analysis of a Transient Rotor-Stator Axial Steam Turbine Stage
Authors: Rajesh Babu C , Roy Sukanta
Published: August 2023

An axial steam turbine stage has both stationary and rotating components, which are coupled together in a CFD model by multiple frames of reference. There are three types of interface techniques available to exchange the information between the different frames of reference namely frozen rotor, stage, transient stator rotor. Both frozen rotor and stage interfaces are used in steady state analysis. The operation of axial turbine is inherently an unsteady process. The aerodynamic interaction between the rotating part and the stationary parts are the important contributor to the unsteadiness of the flow present in the turbine. Neither of the two interfaces implemented in the steady state CFD analysis is capable of predicting the unsteady effects resulting from the rotor-stator interaction due to their relative position change. The third type of interface, the transient stator-rotor interface, is available to simulate the fluid motion caused by the relative movement between a rotor and stationary components in axial turbine. Although enormous computer resources are needed for this modelling, it simulates real flow physics best of all, while steady or quasi-steady numerical approaches only approximate the real flow, because they neglect important effects of blade row interactions. The paper presents the CFD analysis carried out for an axial steam turbine stage with three different interface techniques and compares the results.

Published: August 2023

Technology provides new learning environments in which 21st-century skills such as collaboration are involved, and English becomes the language of communication and interaction among participants. During the lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, students faced the shift from face-to-face to online classes, which made students feel demotivated and lost opportunities to use English in meaningful environments. This article reports a qualitative research process to explore students’ perceptions of an Online Collaborative Learning (OCL) project focused on story writing between China and Colombia. Accordingly, surveys and interviews were implemented to gather datafrom the 51 students and 12 English teachers that participated in the study. The 51 students were divided into six groups, and each group was assigned two coordinators: one from China and one from Colombia. This article contributes to knowledge in OCL and cross-cultural communication since it describes students’ strengths and difficulties when interacting with others whose first language is not English. Specifically, it is concluded that speakers of English as a foreign language deal withchallenges and strengths related to time zone differences, English language proficiency, intrinsic motivation,and attitudes. It is also mentioned that teamwork skills, empathetic language, and the ability to use technology mediate the collaborative writing process.

Published: August 2023

Educational evaluation is necessary for the continuing development of education by monitoring the direction of educational development toward its set goals. The Ministry of Education in China has set the overall goal of higher vocational education to reach a world-class level by 2035. In the current internationalizing environment, this study accordingly aimed to develop a set of internationalization evaluation indicators for higher vocational education in Shandong Province, China. Previous studies on internationalization evaluation indicators have exhibited differences and limitations in terms of their objectives, measures, and their differentiation between undergraduate-based university and vocational colleges. Most previous studies have been based on reviewing certain aspects of internationalization, whereas few studies have considered the issue from the perspective of internationalization practitioners. This study first reviewed and synthesized previous research to develop a framework of international development elements for higher vocational education in a Chinese context. This was then analyzed by a focus group of 15 people in charge of the international offices (schools) of their higher vocational colleges, who identified 6 first-level indicators, 14 second-level indicators, and 14 third-level indicators. These indicators were then analyzed using a general inductive method. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to identify internationalization evaluation indicators for higher vocational education from a phenomenological research perspective. Based on the results, we draw forth the theoretical and practical implications for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers.

Computational, theoretical and experimental study of the working medium flow regimes in the gate valve internal bypasses
Authors: Muftakhov V.Z. , Chinyayev I.R. , Fominykh A.V. , Chernyshev A.V.
Published: August 2023

Demand is growing in technological lines of the oil and gas industry for stop-control valves that provide the required throughput characteristic at the pressure drop of 25 MPa or more. Compared to valves, the gate valves have the lower resistance coefficient in the open position. Slide stop-control devices are widely used as the stop-control valves. The most important problems that arise in designing such devices include determination of the hydraulic and cavitation characteristics and of the specific pressure at the gate. Internal bypass introduction in the control valves makes it possible to increase regulation accuracy at the high pressure drops, and using it in the gate valves to reduce forces in displacement of the stop-control elements and specific pressure at the gate when opening/closing, as well as to determine the point of the cavitation bubbles collapse in the flow. A method for calculating hydraulic characteristics of the bypass and a method for determining its throughput characteristics on the basis of computational and theoretical research using the modern engineering analysis system are proposed.

Wpływ bilansowych praw wyboru na wielkość obciążeń podatkiem dochodowym – rozważania z zakresu teorii i praktyki prawa podatkowego i bilansowego. Przypadek wyceny rzeczowych aktywów obrotowych
Authors: Kozielec Elżbieta
Published: August 2023

Problematyka powiązania prawa bilansowego z prawem podatkowym od wielu lat budzi wątpliwości interpretacyjne. Większość orzeczeń sądów uważa, że prawo bilansowe nie jest podatkotwórcze. W artykule przedstawiono związek występujący pomiędzy prawem bilansowym a podatkowym. Zwrócono uwagę na kwestię wyboru w prawie bilansowym, który daje możliwość kształtowania podstawy opodatkowania, poprzez odpowiednie wykorzystanie instrumentów polityki bilansowej. Na przykładzie wyceny i ewidencji rzeczowych aktywów obrotowych przeanalizowano orzecznictwo i interpretacje podatkowe, gdzie pokazano odwołania do polityki rachunkowości. Zwrócono także uwagę na zasady podatkowe, aby czytelnik mógł zobaczyć, że istniejąca w prawie podatkowym zasada zdolności świadczenia w powiązaniu z polityką bilansową m.in. w zakresie regulacji obciążeń podatkowych nie stanowi obejścia prawa podatkowego, a jedynie daje jednostce prawo wyboru.

Authors: Singh Ashutosh K. , Singh Jamuna S. , Singh Hema , Mishra Rohit K.
Published: August 2023

The world is undergoing rapid urbanization and experiencing its negative impacts, often due to the loss of urban green infrastructure. This study focuses on the green infrastructure of Varanasi city, India, and analyses current tree species diversity, and carbon storage in aboveground and belowground biomass and soil. The study calculated the biomass of urban green infrastructure because it serves as a carbon stock reservoir. As random sampling, data were collected from 24 sample plots across various urban green infrastructure sites via rigorous fieldwork. The biomass was then recorded using a non-destructive approach and a standard equation by King et al.2006. The diversity of tree species was recorded across urban green infrastructure sites, and was found to be higher in the BHU site, and lower in the MA site. The Pielou’s evenness index and Margellef’s richness index were found to be higher in the BHU site, while they were found to be lower in UPAC and MA sites, respectively. Aboveground biomass and total carbon stock were found to be high in the BLW site, with values of 1939.84 ton/ha and 7806 ton/ha, respectively, with trees having a larger girth circumference being the primary contributors. The findings of this study prove a better understanding of tree species diversity, biomass, and carbon stock of different green infrastructure sites of Varanasi city and generate evidence on how urban green space preservation and green infrastructure development may help to the countries' green economic transformation and sustainable, resilient, and low-carbon cities.

A sua coleção de doze sonatas figura entre as raras obras para instrumentos de tecla publicadas em Portugal essa  poca. Além destas, existem duas sonatas manuscritas da sua autoria e outras duas indicando a autoria de Francisco Xavier Bachixa, num manuscrito preservado na Bibliothèque nationale de France. A partir de pesquisas biográficas e do estudo de documentação da época, este vídeo-artigo esclarece acerca do sobrenome Baxixa (ou Bachixa) e da identidade deste músico e compositor português, bem como do seu filho, Joaquim Félix Xavier.
METAVERSOS NA EDUCAÇÃO: conceitos e possibilidades
Authors: Tori Romero
Published: August 2023

O uso de metaversos na educação vem sendo discutido desde a primeira onda de interesse por essa mídia, trazida pelo grande sucesso do Second Life nos anos 2000. O interesse pelos metaversos arrefeceu na década seguinte, mas retornou com força nos anos 2020, quando as tecnologias de inteligência artificial e realidade virtual estão mais maduras, as redes sociais disseminadas, há uso ubíquo dos smartphones e vislumbra-se a possibilidade de o metaverso vir a ser a nova geração das redes sociais. Mas esse retorno veio acompanhado de desinformações, confusões conceituais e falsas promessas. Faz-se necessário organizar os conceitos e discutir as possibilidades educacionais, à luz do conhecimento acadêmico-científico. Este artigo resgata a essência das mídias baseadas em ambientes virtuais imersivos multiusuários e discute as possibilidades, limitações e cuidados no emprego de metaversos em contextos educacionais.

En esta investigación se analizará el impacto de la metodología BIM en la gestión de proyectos de construcción reconociendo los factores que limitan la implementación de esta metodología en el sector construcción, a través del estudio de proyectos existentes y en base a experiencia de profesionales del área sintetizada en diversas publicaciones indexadas a partir de las cuales se materializará un análisis bibliométrico utilizando el software Vos Viewer. BIM, o Building Information Modeling, es una metodología que contribuye a gestionar cualquier proyecto de construcción sin discriminar en su envergadura, ejecutando gestión y coordinación de la ejecución de todo el proyecto desde sus fases tempranas hasta la desmovilización del producto. La metodología clásica CAD se ha estado utilizando durante más de dos décadas y, sigue funcionando para numerosas obras de construcción alrededor del mundo, es sencillo de utilizar y gran cantidad de ingenieros y arquitectos lo implementan, pero no tiene el mismo impacto que la metodología BIM la cual recolecta mucha más información que la que brinda la metodología tradicional. En los proyectos estudiados en esta investigación se logra reconocer múltiples ventajas y beneficios de esta metodología que se está implementando de a poco en el mundo, mejorando la calidad del proyecto final, ahorrando tiempo y costos al reducir obras extraordinarias o trabajos rehechos con su aplicación para detectar interferencias entre especialidades, mejorando el trabajo colaborativo y la visualización para el cliente.
KURUMSAL GÜVEN ve ÇALIŞAN İLİŞKİSİNDE KURUM İÇİ İLETİŞİMİN ROLÜ

Published: August 2023

Çoğu ilişkinin daha kırılgan olduğu, belirsizliklerin artıp, risk faktörünün çoğaldığı çağımızda, karşımıza bir çözüm yolu olarak güven kavramı çıkar. Güven insanın en temel ihtiyaçlarındandır. Güven kavramı; sürdürülebilir iletişimin sağlanması, insan ilişkilerinin düzenli ve sağlıklı ilerleyebilmesi açısından önem taşımaktadır. Kurumlarda ise güven; çalışan bağlılığı, örgütsel adalet, iş tatmini ve motivasyonu, kurum itibarı, kurumsal verimlilik gibi konularda etkili olabilmektedir. Kurumsal güvenin sağlanabilmesinde stratejik, planlı ve uzman destekli kurum içi halkla ilişkiler pratiklerinin etkili olabileceği söylenebilir. Bu çalışma kurum içi iletişim faaliyetleri ile çalışma arkadaşlarına, yöneticiye ve kuruma duyulan güvenin inşası arasında bir ilişkinin olup olmadığı konusuna odaklanmaktadır. Nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden survey tekniği kullanılarak 651 kişilik kamu, özel (ulusal, küresel) kurum ve STK çalışanı olan örneklem ışığında söz konusu ilişki test edilmiştir. Bu bağlamda kurum içi iletişimin, güvene güçlü düzeyde, anlamlı ve pozitif biçimde etki ettiği görülmüş, kurum içi iletişim faaliyetleri ile çalışanların iş arkadaşlarına, yöneticilerine ve kurumlarına duydukları güven arasında pozitif bir ilişki olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
ON THE KLEIN-4 INVARIANTS

Published: August 2023

Let K[X_4 ]=K[x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4 ] be the polynomial algebra with 4 algebraically independent commuting variables over a field K of characteristic zero. The symmetric group S_4 acts on K[X_4 ] naturally by the action of permutations exchanging the indices of variables with respect to the corresponding permutation. It is well known that the algebra K[X_4 ]^S_4 of all polynomials preserved under the action of S_4 is generated by 4 algebraically independent elements called the elementary symmetric polynomials. In this study, we consider the subalgebra G of S_4 generated by the transpositions (13) and (24) which is isomorphic to the Klein-4 group, and find a free generating set for the algebra K[X_4 ]^G of G-invariants.

Kekerasan Objektif dalam Narasi Global War on Terror (GWOT) Analisis GWOT dengan Teori Kekerasan Slavoj Zizek
Authors: Saputra Kurniawan Dwi
Published: August 2023

Global War on Terror (GWOT) is a movement to combat terrorism internationally. It involves comprehensive strategy to defeat terrorism in every aspect, from military to economics, from politics to culture. However, the universal imposition of GWOT package includes certain degree of violence. The hidden violences behind GWOT are to be analysed in this research by the light of Slavoj Zizek’s framework regarding types of violence. Zizek classifies violences into two main branchs: subjective and objective. Objective violence consists of two related violences: symbolic, which is a universal imposition of linguistic terms, and systemic, which is smooth functioning of any system.GWOT therefore includes objective violences. First, its universal imposition of binary opposition term in counter-terrorism propaganda, “with us or against us,” represents the very logic of objective violence. Second, GWOT propaganda brings about the production of certain laws that violates the principle of human rights. This systematic abuse is a matter of concern because the factual evidences show us that it does not solve terrorism but rather inspires its reemergence in the future.
