Power Improvement by Mitigating the Harmonic Distortions
Authors: Asghar Muhammad Awais
Published: January 2025

The study of harmonics in power systems (PS) is very crucial and mitigation of harmonic distortions is one of the main issues these days. Harmonics are distortions in the waveform of a power system with a frequency that is an integral multiple of the frequency variable of the fundamental power line. In this research, our main concern is to design a complete PS model, analyze the effect of nonlinear loads, and mitigate the distortions in PS due to nonlinear loads. We are using three types of filters i.e. series passive, shunt passive, and shunt active filter. The main difference between an active and a passive filter is that we can alter the gain of the active filter even before implementing the model while the gain of the passive filter is fixed and cannot be changed after the model is implemented. Different techniques of active and passive filters are discussed. Furthermore, the SIMULINK model for active and passive filters is presented for validation of our methodology.

Authors:   Korea Safety Culture Society, Kim Jeong Ah , Kim Soon Ock
Published: January 2025

This study aimed to analyze patient safety accidents experienced by nurses in long-term care hospitals, and to understand the relationships between these accidents, patient safety culture, and safety nursing activities. A survey was conducted from November 1 to November 30, 2023, involving 234 nurses who had been engaged in nursing duties for more than 6 months at five different long-term care hospitals. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 29.0 software, employing the chi-square, the t-test, ANOVA, and the Pearson correlation test. The results revealed that 73.5% of participants had experienced a patient safety accident in the past year, with 3.5% of these accidents remaining unreported. The most frequently encountered accident was falls, predominantly occurring in inpatient wards. The accident stage most commonly identified was near misses, and the most common post-accident response was intensive monitoring. Nurses with more experience in terms of age, nursing career, and tenure in long-term care facilities, as well as those involved in accreditation evaluations, reported a higher incidence of patient safety accidents. Nurses with access to patient safety guidelines had higher scores for patient safety culture and safety nursing activities, and those who completed patient safety training had higher scores for patient safety culture. However, no significant relationship was found between the experience of patient safety accidents and both patient safety culture and safety nursing activities. Based on these findings, it is recommended to implement differentiated patient safety training according to nursing experience and to utilize guidelines based on patient safety regulations.
The influence of control factors on victimization trajectories in children and adolescents
Authors:   Korea Safety Culture Society, Lee Sang Moon
Published: January 2025

The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of control factors on the process of victimization over time based on the phenomenon of multiple victimization and repeat victimization of children and adolescents. This study hypothesizes that the types of victimization based on the category of poly-victimization can vary by the developmental stage of children and adolescents; the types of victimization based on the category of poly-victimization can exist in various groups over time; parental supervision, parental bonds, peer bonds, and self-control can affect victimization and victimization trajectories. The hypotheses were tested using data from the Korean Children & Youth Panel Survey(KCYPS), focusing on the period from the sixth grade of elementary school to the second grade of middle school. Frequency analysis, growth model analysis, latent class model analysis, and growth mixture model analysis were conducted to test hypotheses. The results show that the types of victimization are decreasing over time; victimization trajectories can be classified as risk group and general group; the most influential control factor on victimization trajectories is self-control. The findings suggest that the elementary school period is the most vulnerable period based on the types of victimization; there is a group that is vulnerable to victimization during the developmental stage of children and adolescents; victimization trajectories are better explained by the heterogeneity perspective than the event-dependence perspective; one of the risk factors for victimization is low self-control.

Authors: Maag John W.
Published: January 2025

Dependent group-oriented contingencies (DGOC) are those in which the consequences for a group of students is dependent on the performance of one member or a small subsection of the group. There have been several reviews of group-oriented contingencies but none focusing solely on DGOCs to the exclusion of independent and interdependent types of group-oriented contingencies. Therefore, the purpose of the present review was to describe studies only using DGOCs to determine their feasibility and effectiveness for children and adolescents in school and school-related settings. Results indicated that DGOC can be used effectively, but methods need to be in place to minimize the risk of other students scapegoating and threatening the child for whom the contingency was implemented.

Authors: Colclasur Blake , Caldwell Jason , Granberry Tyler , Rost Christine , Gasseling Bailey
Published: January 2025

Recent legislative changes have opened new ave­nues of hemp production for farmers seeking to diversify their operations. With the availability of these opportunities comes the need to better understand the decision making processes of new hemp growers. The purpose of this study was to explore what motivated first-year hemp farmers to grow hemp and to better understand the resources they utilized for decision-making. Fifteen farmers engaged in one-on-one interviews, which were ana­lyzed using qualitative research methods. Three dis­tinct themes emerged that undergirded farmer motivations to grow hemp: personal characteristics, identified advantages of hemp as a crop, and triala­bility and compatibility. Additionally, four themes were central to the resources new hemp farmers sought out: grower networks, digital media, gov­ernment-based resources, and print media. The findings of this study align with components of Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovation Theory and recent research related to hemp and hemp-based prod­ucts. Based on these findings, we recommend developing and expanding educational resources for those interested in entering hemp production to aid in their decision-making process and assist them as they navigate their entry into hemp cultivation.

Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

Tuberculosis is among the most devastating infectious diseases worldwide. Spinal tuberculosis is not easy to detect at an early stage, which without effective treatment often leads to spinal deformity and spinal cord damage which in turn cause complications such as paraplegia and quadriplegia. In this study, we established a model using three concentrations of bacteria and carried out a comprehensive evaluation of the model by imaging, general observations, and histopathological and bacteriological studies.

AIM

To establish a rabbit model of spinal tuberculosis and examine the effect on the model’s efficacy using different concentrations of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis ) inoculum.

METHODS

New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into experimental, control and blank groups. The experimental and control animals were sensitized with complete Freund′s adjuvant, a hole was drilled beneath the upper endplate of the L6 vertebral body and filled with gelfoam sponge. The experimental group was divided into three subgroups (experimental 1, experimental 2, experimental 3) and infused with M. tuberculosis suspension at various concentrations. The control group was inoculated with saline and the blank group received no treatment. The 12-week post-operative survival rates were 100%, 80% and 30% in the experimental groups inoculated with concentrations of 106, 107 and 108 CFU/mL bacteria, respectively.

RESULTS

The survival rate of the control and blank groups was 100%. Vertebral body destruction at 8 weeks in the three experimental groups as determined by X-ray analysis was 33.3%, 62.5% and 66.7%, and by computed tomography (CT) and 3-dimensional CT 44.4%, 75% and 100%, respectively. At 12 weeks, the figures were 44.4%, 75% and 100% by X-ray analysis and 44.4%, 100% and 100% by CT and 3-dimensional CT, respectively. All surviving rabbits of the experimental groups had vertebral destruction. The positive bacterial culture rates were 22.2%, 75% and 66.7%, respectively, in the experimental groups. After being sensitized with complete Freund's adjuvant, large differences were observed in the extent of spinal tuberculosis after inoculation of the rabbits with different concentrations of H37RV standard M. tuberculosis .

CONCLUSION

The experimental 1 had a low success rate at establishing an infection. The experimental 3 resulted in high mortality and complication rates. The experimental 2 was optimum for establishing a spinal tuberculosis model based on the high level of symptoms observed and the low rabbit mortality.
Teriparatide as a non-surgical salvage therapy for prolonged humerus fracture nonunion: A case report and literature review
Authors: Guo Shao-Han , Li Chong , Gao Yi-Jun , Zhang Zhen , Lu Ke
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

Fracture nonunion represents a challenging complication during fracture repair, often necessitating surgical intervention. Teriparatide, a recombinant human parathyroid hormone, has demonstrated promise in enhancing fracture healing, although its efficacy in treating established nonunion remains under investigation.

CASE SUMMARY

We report a case of a 27-year-old male who presented with a right humerus fracture following a traffic accident. Despite undergoing open reduction and internal fixation, the fracture resulted in a delayed union and subsequent nonunion. After 4 years of conservative management, teriparatide treatment was initiated due to persistent nonunion. Teriparatide injections were administered daily for 6 months, resulting in complete fracture healing and resolution of pain.

CONCLUSION

Our case demonstrates the successful use of teriparatide in treating a prolonged nonunion of a humerus fracture. Teriparatide may provide a valuable therapeutic option for established bone nonunion, even in cases that have not responded to conservative treatments.
Integrating finite element analysis in total hip arthroplasty for childhood hip disorders: Enhancing precision and outcomes
Authors: Ammarullah Muhammad Imam
Published: January 2025

Total hip arthroplasty for adults with sequelae from childhood hip disorders poses significant challenges due to altered anatomy. The paper published by Oommen et al reviews the essential management strategies for these complex cases. This article explores the integration of finite element analysis (FEA) to enhance surgical precision and outcomes. FEA provides detailed biomechanical insights, aiding in preoperative planning, implant design, and surgical technique optimization. By simulating implant configurations and assessing bone quality, FEA helps in customizing implants and evaluating surgical techniques like subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy. Advanced imaging techniques, such as 3D printing, virtual reality, and augmented reality, further enhance total hip arthroplasty precision. Future research should focus on validating FEA models, developing patient-specific simulations, and promoting multidisciplinary collaboration. Integrating FEA and advanced technologies in total hip arthroplasty can improve functional outcomes, reduce complications, and enhance quality of life for patients with childhood hip disorder sequelae.

Published: January 2025

Optimizing balance sheet performance is critical for financial institutions seeking to enhance profitability, maintain liquidity, and ensure long-term stability. Asset and Liability Management (ALM) plays a central role in achieving these objectives by aligning the management of assets, liabilities, and capital to mitigate risks associated with interest rates, liquidity, and credit. This review explores advanced ALM strategies designed to optimize the balance sheet while navigating complex financial environments. Key strategies include interest rate risk management through duration gap analysis, hedging instruments, and interest rate swaps; liquidity management techniques leveraging cash flow matching, stress testing, and scenario planning; and capital optimization using risk-adjusted return on capital (RAROC) models. Additionally, managing leverage ratios, diversifying funding sources, and optimizing the cost of funding are highlighted as critical to enhancing financial resilience. The integration of technology, particularly data analytics, artificial intelligence, and automation tools, is increasingly important in enhancing ALM practices. These technologies enable predictive modeling, real-time monitoring, and efficient reporting, thereby improving decision-making and risk management. The review also presents case studies of successful ALM implementations, demonstrating how institutions have effectively managed interest rate and liquidity risks during periods of market volatility. Lastly, the discussion extends to future trends, such as the impact of regulatory shifts, the rise of green finance, and the integration of digital innovations in financial management. By adopting a proactive and integrated ALM approach, financial institutions can optimize balance sheet performance, reduce risk exposure, and adapt to evolving economic and regulatory landscapes, ultimately achieving sustainable financial stability.

Em um mundo influenciado pelas tecnologias digitais, é fundamental preparar os estudantes para um contexto que exige, cada vez mais, o domínio de habilidades computacionais. Este artigo tem como objetivo demonstrar a possibilidade do uso do Pensamento Computacional (PC) no ensino da língua portuguesa, uma vez que a Computação foi inserida na Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) como requisito  obrigatório a ser ofertado nos currículos de todas as escolas do Brasil. Com o objetivo de auxiliar os professores, apresentamos uma modelagem didática que ilustra a aplicabilidade do PC, na forma desplugada, ou seja, sem o uso do computador, em outras áreas de conhecimento, além de Ciências da Computação e Matemática que já o utilizam com frequência.  Esse estudo foi realizado em duas etapas: na primeira, realizou-se uma revisão integrativa de literatura, o que mostrou que o PC ainda é pouco utilizado em outras áreas, mas quando utilizado no ensino de Matemática, por exemplo, apresentou melhoras significativas na aprendizagem dos estudantes. A segunda consistiu em uma proposta metodológica, por meio de uma modelagem didática, a qual embasou-se na Teoria da Aprendizagem Significativa de David Ausubel (1980) para a construção da metodologia. Os resultados mostraram que o PC pode ser desenvolvido em todas as práticas de linguagem da Língua Portuguesa — oralidade, escrita, leitura e análise linguística. Outro fator importante é o uso diversificado de materiais potencialmente significativos ao longo do processo de ensino, pois isso aumenta a probabilidade de a aprendizagem se tornar significativa para o aluno.

Biometricians have been studying tree shapes since the 18th century in Europe, initially using shape quotients. With the advent of linear regression techniques, the field evolved toward the development of volumetric models, which incorporate the effects of tree shapes into the coefficients of the fitted equations. This study presents two methodological themes: the volumetric equivalence form factor (VEFF) based on Pollanschütz concept, and the rational form factor (RFF) derived from ratio estimation. Data from 159 trees were used to fit the RFF, revealing a strong correlation with the h/d variable, indicating that the slenderness index effectively expresses tree form. Five form factor models based on shape quotients were tested, producing reliable estimates with standard errors below 10% and no bias in residuals. Among the fitted volume models, Meyer, Meyer (Mod.), Näslund, Schumacher-Hall, and an additional form factor from the Dwight volume equation were selected for their accuracy and reliability. Other volume equations, such as Takata, Stoate, Dwight, and Péllico Netto and Behling, also showed good results. The second alternative solution for the RFF provided highly reliable estimates with minimal variation in the form factor among the sampled trees. The selected volume equations and their form factors, chosen based on statistical estimates and residual evaluation, are applicable to Pinus taeda L. stands in the Midwest of Santa Catarina, Brazil.

Esta pesquisa avaliou a interação entre fibras curtas de polipropileno (FPP) e o fator água/aglomerante (a/a) em argamassas de reboco, com substituição parcial de areia natural por vidro moído. O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar o comportamento das misturas utilizando uma quantidade de FPP superior à recomendada pelo fabricante, variando o teor de fibras (0,5% a 2% em relação à massa de cimento) e o fator a/a (0,4 a 0,9). O programa experimental se baseou na substituição parcial da areia natural por partículas de vidro na proporção de 15% (fixo) em massa. As variáveis independentes foram utilizadas como instrumento de análise para a otimização das misturas usando a teoria do Delineamento Composto Central Rotacional (DCCR). Dessa forma, foi realizado um estudo comparativo entre uma argamassa de referência 1:6:2 (cimento, cal, areia mista) e argamassas com variadas combinações de água e fibra de polipropileno. Foram avaliadas propriedades no estado fresco (índice de consistência) e também no endurecido (tração na flexão e compressão). Os resultados demonstraram que o índice de consistência foi impactado por conta da maior quantidade de fibras, resultando em argamassas mais secas. Na compressão e tração na flexão, a incorporação de fibras acima do sugerido pelo fabricante pode ou não contribuir para a melhora da performance destas características, desde que haja água suficiente para compensar o acréscimo de área superficial específica da FPP. As superfícies geradas pelas equações de regressão permitiram identificar misturas otimizadas que atendem aos requisitos de norma.

Este estudo teve por objetivo analisar as iniciativas de apoio à internacionalização de startups brasileiras à luz do modelo de Uppsala. Caracteriza-se como uma pesquisa exploratória, documental e qualitativa. Inicialmente foram identificadas as iniciativas de internacionalização a partir de sites oficiais governamentais ou não e, na sequência, verificou-se a abrangência às startups. A partir da lente teórica do modelo de internacionalização de Uppsala verificou-se como as oportunidades de suporte ao processo de internacionalização identificadas estão alinhadas com as variáveis do referido modelo. O estudo incluiu a identificação e análise de 26 iniciativas promovidas por órgãos governamentais e não governamentais. Os resultados revelaram que as iniciativas estão alinhadas a muitas das variáveis do modelo de Uppsala, tais como o desenvolvimento de conhecimento, o estabelecimento de redes de relacionamento e a tomada de decisões estratégicas. Assim, as descobertas indicam a aderência das iniciativas de apoio investigadas ao modelo em análise, contribuindo com a ampliação de discussões focadas em empresas mais jovens, fornecendo suporte ao estudo do ainda pouco explorado processo de internacionalização de startups. Adicionalmente, indica insights e oportunidades para futuras pesquisas investigarem o impacto dessas oportunidades no desempenho de startups.

This study aims to analyze the impact of implementing rail transportation on traffic congestion in Jakarta. The background of this research is driven by the increasing congestion, which has become a major issue in the Jakarta metropolitan area, affecting time efficiency and air quality. The objective of this research is to evaluate the effect of increased use of rail transportation, such as KRL, MRT, and LRT, in reducing congestion in Jakarta. This study uses a comparative analysis method with both quantitative and qualitative approaches, combining data on congestion levels, the growth of private vehicles, and the increase in rail transportation passengers from 2019 to 2024. The results show that although the number of private vehicles continues to rise, congestion can be significantly reduced with the increase in rail transportation users. The increased use of KRL, MRT, and LRT has contributed to the reduction of private vehicle volume on the roads, which has been proven to help reduce congestion and air pollution. The implications of this research are that the development and integration of a more extensive rail transportation system can be an effective solution in addressing congestion, improving public mobility in Jakarta, and supporting environmental sustainability.

Tobacco is the second most prevalent psychoactive substance after alcohol among students aged 14–18. This article examines adolescents’ motivations for smoking through their own discourses in semi-directed discussion groups. The subjects in our study were 131 young people aged 15–17 from nine secondary schools in Tarragona (Spain). The motives identified for tobacco use revolved around eight main dimensions: the pursuit of fun and new sensations, consumption as a rite of passage, consumption due to social contagion and peer pressure, smoking as a form of flirting, influence of the family microsystem (e.g. having parents who smoke), availability and ease of access, addiction and dependence, and low risk perception. Unlike in previous studies, no significant gender differences in smoking motivations were observed. This may be explained by the emergence of new models of femininity constructed on the basis of girls’ imitation of certain values associated with masculinity.
