Changes in The Electrical Output Power and Efficiency of A Photovoltaic Panel Cooled by A Hybrid Method
Authors: KARAOZAN Ömer , ASKER Mehmet Emin
Published: December 2023

During the process of generating electrical energy from photovoltaic panels, high ambient temperatures and radiation tend to cause excessive heating of the photovoltaic panel, resulting in a decrease in its efficiency. In this experimental study, two cooling methods were employed. The first method involved active cooling using water, while the second method combined active cooling with passive cooling using an aluminum heat sink, all while using water as the cooling medium. The experiment involved the analysis of changes in electrical output power and efficiency from three identical 100 W monocrystalline photovoltaic panels, one of which served as the reference. The first panel was considered the reference panel. The second panel featured active cooling, with a liquid reservoir created on its rear surface to be filled with transformer oil. Copper pipes were placed at specific intervals within this liquid reservoir, and the rear surface was covered with a thin flat metal plate. The third panel was prepared for the hybrid method, featuring a liquid reservoir covered with a rectangular finned aluminum heat sink, distinct from the second panel. In both methods, transformer oil was used for electrical insulation and thermal conduction between the panel and the copper pipes at the rear. The copper pipes were connected to an automotive radiator and a pump to form a closed circuit. The water inside the radiator was cooled using a radiator fan and circulated by a pump. In the first method, active cooling was achieved by cooling through the radiator, while in the hybrid method, active cooling through the radiator was combined with passive cooling using the rectangular finned aluminum heat sink. In the experiment setup, temperature and liquid flow were measured using radiation, electrical sensors, and other measuring instruments. The data obtained from the measurements were used to compare the increases in electrical power and efficiency of the panels. The electrical power increase and efficiency were calculated as follows: in the hybrid method, it was found to be 4.7% and 0.84%, respectively, while in the active method, it was 2.94% and 0.52%, respectively. The energy consumed in the study was provided by wind energy

Published: December 2023

The government of Sri Lanka implemented a range of developmental interventions to eliminate poverty by enhancing agricultural productivity, income diversification and economic growth in rural areas.  The "Divineguma" (Livelihood upliftment) program was one such massive-scale livelihood improvement program that had multiple interventions at different levels. The intermediaries who link the government and the beneficiaries are the field-level extension officers (EOs). The beneficiaries have severely criticized the field-level extension service, especially the assistance on agricultural interventions. This study was done to examine the roles of the field-level EOs and beneficiaries’ perceptions regarding the knowledge, skills, and personal qualities of the EOs in the implementation of this rural development program, with special relevance to home gardens. A survey study was carried out in the Elapata Divisional Secretary division in Ratnapura district with a sample size of 150 beneficiaries. Beneficiaries perceived that the EO’s were influential in the startup motives of the participants but in follow-up roles, which are the most important roles for the success of the home garden program, were not fulfilled by these EOs. The participants also perceived that the field-level EOs were not well prepared when communicating with the participants and always neglected the importance of feedback in the communication process and they were not fully committed to the activities related to the home garden program. This study reveals that policymakers should constantly review the performance of the EOs and assess their training requirements.
De anatomie van democratie: Het grote werken aan democratie-boek
Authors: de Loor Otto
Published: December 2023

'De anatomie van democratie' is een ode aan de democratie. De kernprincipes van democratie en de verschillende componenten die bijdragen aan de effectieve werking ervan komen in dit boek aan de orde. Democratie wordt als het ware ontleed. In 47 korte hoofdstukken, negen teksten over ‘ondermijning democratie’ en heel veel praktijkvoorbeelden, beschrijft Otto de Loor vier grote thema’s: de democratie als rechtsstaat, de wijze waarop we ons als burgers verhouden tot die rechtsstaat, onze manier van democratisch samenleven, en ieders persoonlijk functioneren binnen een democratie (ons democratische Zelf). Dit boek beoogt niet de waarheid te verkondigen, over wat dé democratie nou precies behelst, maar is als ‘Het grote werken aan democratie’-boek bedoeld om: - over democratie na te denken en met elkaar in gesprek te gaan; - kennis op te doen en te delen, en (persoonlijk) betekenis te geven aan democratie; - waarden zoals vrijheid, gelijkheid en broederschap meer te gaan waarderen; - de redelijkheid te bewaren met elkaar; - krachten die afbreuk doen aan onze democratische normen, conventies en instituten te herkennen, te benoemen en te bestrijden. 'De anatomie van democratie' is geschreven voor iedereen vanaf de middelbare schoolleeftijd. Via dit boek krijg je ook toegang tot de digitale bijlage voor het onderwijs: ‘Een integrale aanpak burgerschapsvorming’. Otto de Loor heeft jarenlange ervaring als trainer/adviseur in het onderwijs en lerarenopleider. Daarnaast werkte hij als docent en schoolleider in het voortgezet onderwijs. Sinds 2016 heeft hij zijn eigen adviesbureau. Daarnaast is hij (mede)auteur van meerdere boeken.
Een ervaring rijker: Ervaringsdeskundigheid in de psychiatrie
Authors: Posthouwer Miranda , Timmer Hilko
Published: December 2023

De inzet van ervaringsdeskundigheid in de psychiatrie is hot, de praktijk blijft weerbarstig. Vaak ontbreekt het aan een gedegen visie en laat een praktische toepassing op zich wachten. De SBWU, een ggz-instelling die begeleiding biedt aan mensen met psychiatrische en/of verslavingsproblematiek, vond dit meer dan voldoende aanleiding voor een uitgebreide studie. De instelling nam begeleiders met ervaringsdeskundigheid in dienst en volgde hen. Centraal daarbij stond de vraag: wat zijn de mogelijkheden, onmogelijkheden en valkuilen bij het inzetten van begeleiders met ervaringsdeskundigheid? Het blijkt zowel voor de ervaringsdeskundigen als voor de organisatie een ware zoektocht naar het invullen en vormgeven van de functie: Wat kan ik met mijn ervaringen? Hoe zet ik ze in? Hoe profileer ik mij ten opzichte van het team en de cliënten? Hoe vervlecht ik de rol van hulpverlener en ervaringsdeskundige? Ervaringsdeskundigen krijgen te maken met een driedubbel leertraject: leren van het vak als hulpverlener, leren ontwikkelen van ervaringsdeskundigheid en leren gezond te werken. 'Een ervaring rijker' laat een weerbarstige praktijk zien, maar laat ook interessante resultaten over de meerwaarde van het inzetten van ervaringsdeskundigen zien. Miranda Posthouwer en Hilko Timmer geven antwoord op de vraag wat met betrekking tot ervaringsdeskundigheid de mogelijkheden zijn en ze bieden hulp bij de implementatie in de vorm van zes aanbevelingen en een praktische checklist.

Background: The Sciatic nerve is the widest nerve of the body. It consists of two components, namely: the tibia and the common peroneal components derived from the ventral rami of L4 to S3 spinal nerves of the lumbosacral plexus. It exits the pelvis through the greater sciatic foramen below the Piriformis muscle and descends between the greater trochanter of the femur and ischial tuberosity of the pelvis to the knee. Higher division of the sciatic nerve is the most common variation where the TN and CPN may leave the pelvis through different routes which may lead to various clinical manifestations Likewise, their adequate knowledge will help in increasing surgical precision and decreasing morbidity. Material and methods: The study is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted at the department of anatomy of several medical faculties in Sudan from May 2016 to June 2017. In which 50 male cadaver (100 lower extremities) age ranges from 50 to 70 years were dissected to level the bifurcation.

Authors: Héritier I. Kalonda
Published: December 2023

It is common knowledge that various aspects of an organizations external environment affect its success. The fundamental objective of this research was to identify the Influence of differentiated transformational leadership on the innovation performance of employees in any given organization. In other words, the research sought to analyze to what extent would transformational leadership be demonstrated by managers in order to enhance the level of the creative production of their teams. The study did assess the effect of differentiated transformational leadership on innovative performance in order to know if its effect is linear or wavelike effect. The author designed and conducted an empirical research in order to investigate the impacts of differentiated transformational leadership on innovative performance using a sample study of 255 professionals as respondents. The respondents were individuals working for companies located inside the Cavite Economic Zone, which is based in Rosario City, Cavite. The study has revealed that the performance of employees who are innovative is critical to the continuous survival and expansion of an organization. This research showed that there is a strong connection between innovation performance and both consistent transformational leadership and individual transformational leadership differences. The results of the study showed that differentiated transformational leadership has a wavelike effect on innovation performance. The findings of the study showed that the innovation performance is significantly affected by the waveform of both consistent and individual transformational leadership. In other words, there will be changes in the stimulatory and inhibitive effects of consistent transformational leadership and individual differences on the innovation performance of the employees. A number of explanatory variables for differentiated transformational leadership shed light on the impact of this style of leadership on innovation outcomes. The study finally adds new ideas to the subsequent discourse on transformational leadership that is based on differentiation.

THE INFLUENCE OF THE ASEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY PERCEPTION ON THE EXPORT INTENTIONS OF MICRO, SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES
Authors: Iskandar Irwan , Burhanuddin Fiona , Renolafitri Hendrini
Published: December 2023

This research investigates the influence of the perception of the AEC on export intention owned by MSMEs. To pursue this purpose, this research used a quantitative research method. By implementing the survey design, 30 questionnaires were spread to 30 MSMEs for reliability tests and validity tests, and 170 questionnaires were spread to 170 MSMEs for data analysis, so there are 200 samples in total. After conducting data analysis by using SPSS Version 25, the research found that perception of the AEC significantly affects export intention. Nevertheless, the influence value of the perception of the AEC on export intention is low (8.5%). The other factors (91.5%) should be examined in depth in other research. It can be concluded that the perception of AEC has less significant influence in increasing export intention compared to other perceptions related to export. Hence, this research contributes practically to increasing the export intention of MSMEs in the AEC era. Although the value is low, MSMEs are recommended to have a good and comprehensive perception of AEC. However, a positive perception of other factors related to exports is required. Increasing these positive perceptions can be a good start for the government to foster exports conducted by MSMEs. Also, this research enriches the discussion of AEC as a subject in international studies and export intentions as a topic in entrepreneurship and business.
Determination of neonicotinoid pesticides nitenpyram and dinotefuran by electroanalytical methods
Authors: Kul Dilek
Published: December 2023

Nitenpyram (NIT) and dinotefuran (DNF) are neonicotinoid pesticides commonly used in the production and storage of agricultural products, as well as in forests and gardens, for the purpose of protection from insect pests. Although they are safer for mammals, their toxic effects on pollinators, such as bees, and their long-term accumulation in water and soil, are important problems. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that their usage remains within certain specific limits and that their residues are quickly, precisely, and reliably monitored in various samples. In this review, electrochemical methods, which are voltammetry, amperometry, and potentiometry, for the determination of NIT and DNF in pure solutions, agricultural, and environmental samples by using various modified electrodes were reviewed. The results obtained from studies published since 2011 were compared, and the effectiveness of the selected methods was demonstrated. It was observed that the electrochemical methods, particularly voltammetry, used in the studies conducted for NIT and DNF yielded selective and sensitive results at detection limits at nmol L–1 levels. These methods also exhibited high precision and accuracy without being affected by the matrix of the studied samples, such as soil, water, or agricultural products.
Application of fuzzy logic techniques for sensory evaluation of plant-based extrudates fortified with bioactive compounds
Authors: Pavani Mekala , Singha Poonam , Rajamanickam Darwin Thanaraj , Singh Sushil Kumar
Published: December 2023

Aim: This study aims to evaluate the sensory profile of corn-based extrudates fortified with phytosterol and pea protein isolates (PPI) using the fuzzy logic technique to assess similarity values and rank the quality attributes.
Methods: Using a mix of yellow PPI (ranging from 0 to 20%) and corn flour (ranging from 80% to 100%), extrudates were developed, ensuring a consistent addition of phytosterol-containing oil at 5%. For this experiment, the Box-Behnken (BB) design was used, comprising 17 runs, factoring in parameters like the percentage of PPI (0–20%), screw speed (300–500 rpm), and temperature (130°–150°C). The optimal conditions were found to be 2.78% PPI, a screw speed of 451 rpm, and a temperature of 150°C, resulting in a desirability value of 0.725. For sensory evaluation, the fuzzy logic technique was used to compare the functional extrudates (S1) with commercial variants (S2, S3, and S4). This helped to gauge acceptance/rejection, similarity values, rankings, and overall consumer acceptability of the extrudates.
Results: Commercial sample S4 achieved the highest ranking on the sensory scale as “very good”. When considering the quality attributes of extrudates, taste and mouthfeel were the most favored, followed by color and flavor. This study underscored the value of using fuzzy logic for sensory evaluation in determining the acceptance of new food products. It also proved effective in assessing food products’ quality attributes, especially after evaluating the phytosterol content post-extrusion.
Conclusions: The fuzzy logic technique in sensory evaluation has effectively identified the optimal extrudates and their quality attributes during the development of new functional food.
The role of pulmonary vascular endothelium in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): Does endothelium play a role in the onset and progression of COPD?
Authors: Siragusa Silvia , Natali Giulia , Nogara Antonella Maria , Trevisani Marcello , Lagrasta Costanza Anna Maria , Pontis Silvia
Published: December 2023

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an inflammatory lung pathology characterized by persistent airflow limitation and is the third leading cause of death globally. COPD pathophysiology includes both environmental and host risk factors and the presence of comorbidities contributes to its harmful outcome. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is closely related to COPD and their coexistence is associated with worse outcomes than either condition alone. COPD impairs the cardiovascular system favoring mostly endothelial dysfunction that is a significant COPD prognostic factor at different stages of the disease. The mechanisms promoting endothelial dysfunction in the systemic and/or pulmonary circulation of COPD patients are different and include systemic inflammation, alteration of adhesion and pro-inflammatory molecules, oxidative stress, cellular senescence, and apoptosis. Nevertheless, the role of endothelium in the onset and progression of COPD and CVD is not yet fully understood. Hence, the purpose of this narrative review is to analyze the literature and provide evidence supporting the importance of endothelial dysfunction in COPD.

Authors: Agonsanou Hervé , Figueiredo Ricardo , Bergeron Maurice
Published: December 2023

According to recent data reported, it is noted that lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death internationally followed by cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. This disease is observed in both women and men and is related to lifestyle habits. Several causes are reported to be at the origin of lung cancer, especially smoking. It is important to note that the majority of lung cancers develop in the bronchi, that is to say at the level of the upper airways which lead to the lungs, which does not however make it possible to rule out the risk factors that come under environmental pollution since man breathes the air quality of the environment every day for his breathing. This review of the literature has made it possible to draw up a state of knowledge in order to understand the risk factors that increase lung cancer. More specifically, this work will make it possible to raise awareness in the field of the fight against cancer, in particular lung cancer.

Authors: Колдар Лариса А. , Почка Олена В. , Небиков Михайло В.
Published: December 2023

Мета. Prunus laurocerasus L.— вічнозелена декоративна рослина з низкою цінних господарських властивостей: декоративних, лікарських, харчових, технічних тощо. Проте в Україні рослини даного виду наразі належать до малопоширених і потребують дослідження біолого-морфологічних особливостей росту і розвитку в умовах Правобережного Лісостепу України. Методи. Матеріалом для досліджень слугували три–п’ятирічні рослини P. laurocerasus, що ростуть у кварталі № 3 та вирощуються на дослідно-виробничій дільниці Національного дендропарку «Софіївка» НАН України. Біологічні ознаки виду досліджували за рекомендаціями Крістена Раункера (Christen Raunkiær). Морфологічний опис рослин проводили за використання біометричних методів. Результати. З’ясовано біологічні та морфологічні особливості рослин P. laurocerasus, що вирощуються в насадженнях НДП «Софіївка». Досліджено періоди цвітіння та плодоношення, визначено середній приріст однорічних пагонів за вегетаційний період. Описано будову квітки, листка та кори, а також визначено тип кореневої системи. Висновки. Досліджувані представники P. laurocerasus належать до мезофанерофітів із вегетаційним періодом 210–223 доби, періодом цвітіння з другої декади квітня до другої декади травня та річним середнім приростом пагонів до 46 см. Проведено морфологічний опис рослин, описано будову квітки та листкової пластини, визначено тип кореневої системи.
Використання рослин ґінкго білоба (Ginkgo biloba L.) у мистецтві бонсай
Authors: Цибровська Надія В.
Published: December 2023

Мета. З’ясувати перспективність використання рослин виду G. biloba та його сортів у техніках китайсько-японського садового топіарного мистецтва бонсай та нівакі. Методи. Дослідження виконували методами теоретичного аналізу, систематизації, порівняння й узагальнення літературних даних, а також користуючись власними методичними напрацюваннями. Результати. З’ясовано, що рослини G. biloba здатні продукувати химерні, схожі на коріння структури: повітряні та базальні чичі. Виділяють три різні стилі ґінкго-бонсаю: стиль «чичі», утворюваний унаслідок розмноження відсадками з дерев, які вже мали сформовані чичі; стиль «сталактит», отримуваний з повітряних чичі зі старих дерев і садіння їх з перевертом (долішньою частиною догори); стиль «грудка або брила», отримуваний відокремленням від базального чичі або внаслідок вторинного проростання базальних чичі з формуванням багатостовбурних ґінкго-бонсай у вигляді «лісу». Залежно від особливостей розвитку G. biloba, розрізняють звичайний ґінкго-бонсай — виконуваний у класичному прямостоячому стилі «Текан»; у стилі «Моєгі», характерними ознаками якого є «вигнута» або «звивиста» форми стовбура; у стилі «Сокан», що характеризується наявністю двох стовбурів, які можуть бути різними за розміром однак утворювати одну спільну крону, та ін., а також ґінкго-чичі бонсай. Для створення некласичних стилів нівакі G. biloba розроблено техніку плетіння стовбура косичкою та по колу. Висновки. Розглянуто особливості використання G. biloba у мистецтві бонсай, залежно від біологічних характеристик рослини. Описані особливості формування повітряних і базальних чичі G. biloba та їхня роль у створенні різних стилів бонсаю. Показано, що рослини G. biloba є перспективними для використання у техніках китайсько-японського садового топіарного мистецтва бонсай та нівакі.
