Gas and steam power generation units often experience changes in load according to the requested electricity needs. Changes in generator workload will also affect the efficiency of the generator. The different efficiency in each workload will have an effect on the amount of heat rate production produced when compared. By calculating the efficiency at each load, it will be useful to find out the workload with the best performance. From the results of the enthalpy calculation process based on the temperature of each gas turbine process, in this study the gas turbine performance is calculated, and then it compares the turbine performance with variations in operating load. The turbine performance that will be calculated includes compressor power, turbine power, net power, thermal efficiency, compressor efficiency, combustion chamber efficiency, turbine efficiency, heat input, and heat rate. The results of the calculation of the highest average thermal efficiency at 27 MW load were 35.18%; the average compressor efficiency experienced the highest increase at 25 MW load of 83.24%, followed by an average increase in combustion chamber efficiency and an average decrease in turbine efficiency at each increase in load, as well as experiencing the lowest decrease in heat rate at 27 MW load conditions of 2,842 kJ/kWh
Phenomenology After Deconstruction: "Voice and Phenomenon" as a Prolegomenon to Husserl’s Genetic Method
Authors: LIU Zihao
Published: December 2023

Reading Voice and Phenomenon from a phenomenological perspective, this paper argues that the book is an internal criticism of Husserlian phenomenology that, among other things, can serve as an introduction to Husserl’s genetic method. Derrida’s most powerful arguments are delivered by turning the Cartesian method of Logical Investigations and Ideas I to Husserl’s inquiries into time-consciousness; as such, it is a phenomenological criticism through and through. An analysis of Husserl’s later manuscripts and lectures published posthumously shows that driven by what Derrida calls the radicality of intuitionism, Husserl has developed a genetic phenomenological method that breaks free from the metaphysics of presence and arrived at a conception of meaning and language that is similar to Derrida’s.
Proyectos de integración argentinos para con Brasil
Authors: Russo Sebastián
Published: December 2023

En el presente trabajo estudiaremos los orígenes del proceso de integración entre Argentina y Brasil con el objetivo de analizar las variables de cambio y continuidad que lo estructuraron desde la Declaración de Foz de Iguazú (1985) hasta la firma del Tratado de Asunción (1991).
Sostendremos que, si bien el proyecto de asociación con Brasil es una constante del actual período democrático argentino, este sufrió una variación de sentido, de estrategias y de objetivos en la transición entre el gobierno del radical Raúl Alfonsín (1983-1989) y la primera gestión del peronista Carlos Menem (1989-1995), que sería central en su desarrollo.

Prediction intervals in the ARFIMA model using bootstrap G
Authors: Franco Glaura C. , Lana Gustavo C. , Reisen Valderio A.
Published: December 2023

This paper presents a bootstrap resampling scheme to build prediction intervals for future values in fractionally autoregressive moving average (ARFIMA) models. Standard techniques to calculate forecast intervals rely on the assumption of normality of the data and do not take into account the uncertainty associated with parameter estimation. Bootstrap procedures, as nonparametric methods, can overcome these diculties. In this paper, we test two bootstrap prediction intervals based on the nonparametric bootstrap in the residuals of the ARFIMA model. In this paper, two bootstrap prediction intervals are proposed based on the nonparametric bootstrap in the residuals of the ARFIMA model. The rst one is the well known percentile bootstrap, (Thombs and Schucany, 1990; Pascual et al., 2004), never used for ARFIMA models to the knowledge of the authors. For the second approach, the intervals are calculated using the quantiles of the empirical distribution of the bootstrap prediction errors (Masarotto, 1990; Bisaglia e Grigoletto, 2001). The intervals are compared, through a Monte Carlo experiment, to the asymptotic interval, under Gaussian and non-Gaussian error distributions. The results show that the bootstrap intervals present coverage rates closer to the nominal level assumed, when compared to the asymptotic standard method. An application to real data of temperature in New York city is also presented to illustrate the procedures.

Authors: Santos Victor
Published: December 2023

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the infant mortality rate due to intrauterine hypoxia and perinatal asphyxia in the State of Pará from 1996 to 2019. METHODS: A retrospective, descriptive and quantitative study was conducted using data from the DATASUS database from the Ministry of Health. RESULTS: The annual infant mortality rate due to intrauterine hypoxia and birth asphyxia in the state of Pará has been decreasing since 1996 to 2019, albeit at a slower rate compared to the national average. The state of Pará has seen a 41% reduction in infant mortality between 1996 and 2019, a smaller decrease compared to the national and North Region indices which were respectively 64% and 72%. Pará was the state in the North region that least managed to reduce infant mortality related to the condition, becoming the holder of the highest infant mortality rate in the North region in 2019. CONCLUSION: It is necessary that public health policies are directed towards improving pre-natal care and childbirth in order to reduce the infant mortality rate due to intrauterine hypoxia and perinatal asphyxia, especially in the more remote regions of the state in order to achieve the same advances obtained elsewhere in the country.

Objetivo: Analisar a implementação da prática de humanização nos serviços de saúde da atenção primária à saúde. Revisão bibliográfica: A humanização na atenção primária à saúde teve muita importância na melhoria dos serviços do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Entretanto, existe ausência de mecanismos de comunicação e integração da APS às demais instâncias do SUS e deficiente promoção de uma abordagem centrada no paciente na atenção primária. Analisa-se a Política Nacional de Humanização (PNH) como uma iniciativa implementada para promover a humanização juntamente com as Práticas Integrativas e Complementares à Saúde (PICS), com o acolhimento como uma prática essencial para a humanização. Considerações finais: A implementação da humanização na saúde, conforme as bases e diretrizes desenvolvidas no SUS, teve resultado significativo na qualidade de vida dos brasileiros. Porém, as estratégias de humanização carecem de investimento para melhor capacitar, tanto a infraestrutura do sistema, quanto os próprios profissionais de saúde, de modo a oferecer tratamento eficaz e humanitário à população usuária do SUS.

Artificial Intelligence-Based Molecular Property Prediction of Photosensitizing Effects of Drugs
Authors: Hofmann Amun Georg , Agibetov Asan
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Drug-induced photosensitivity is an adverse event of various agents that are used in all major specialties of clinical medicine. Apart from the acute condition, an association of photosensitive events and an increased risk of skin cancer have been repeatedly reported. However, photosensitizing properties of drugs and chemical compounds are also deliberately utilized as a treatment modality, for example as photodynamic therapy in oncology. While certain chemical features have been shown to induce photosensitivity more frequently, the matter is still not conclusively understood and commonly used photobiological assays are discussed to be affected by several limitations. In the present work we investigated the feasibility of predicting photosensitizing effects of drugs and chemical compounds via state-of-the-art artificial intelligence-based workflows. Methods: A dataset of 2,200 drugs was used to train three distinct models (logistic regression, XGBoost, and a deep learning model) to predict photosensitizing attributes based on the SMILES string. Labels were obtained from a list of previously published photosensitizers resulting in 205 photosensitizing drugs. Data was partitioned using an 80/10/10 training-validation-test split by molecular scaffold. External evaluation of the different models was performed using the tox21 dataset and included a technical interpretation of prediction scores as well as a pharmacological interpretation. Results: ROC-AUC ranged between 0.8939 (deep learning model) and 0.9525 (XGBoost) during training, while in the test partition it ranged between 0.7785 (deep learning) and 0.7927 (XGBoost). The models were employed to facilitate predictions on the external validation set. Analysis of the top 200 compounds of each model resulted in 55 overlapping molecules. Fifteen of those were fluoroquinolones, a class of commonly reported photosensitizers. Prediction scores in this subset corresponded well with culprit substructures suspected of mediating photosensitizing effects. Discussion: All three models appeared capable of predicting photosensitizing effects of chemical compounds. However, compared to the simpler model (logistic regression) the complex models (XGBoost and Chemprop) appeared to be more confident in their predictions as exhibited by their distribution of prediction scores. The evaluation of the models on external data further solidified the feasibility of molecular property prediction for photosensitizing abilities. A qualitative analysis of fluoroquinolones in the external dataset based on available photobiological evidence showed that their prediction scores corresponded well with their chemical structure.

Encapsulating an electrocatalytic material with a semi-permeable, nanoscopic oxide overlayer offers a promising approach to enhancing its stability, activity, and/or selectivity compared to an unencapsulated electrocatalyst. However, applying nanoscopic oxide encapsulation layers to high surface area electrodes, such as nanoparticle-supported porous electrodes is a challenging task. This study demonstrates that the recently developed condensed layer deposition (CLD) method can be used for depositing nanoscopic (sub-10 nm thick) titanium dioxide (TiO2) overlayers onto high surface area platinized carbon foam electrodes. Characterization of the overlayers by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) showed that the films are amorphous, while X-ray photoelectron microscopy confirmed that they exhibit a TiO2 stoichiometry. Electrodes were also characterized by hydrogen underpotential deposition (Hupd) and carbon monoxide (CO) stripping, demonstrating that the Pt electrocatalysts remain electrochemically active after encapsulation. Additionally, copper underpotential deposition (Cuupd) measurements revealed that TiO2 overlayers are effective at blocking Cu2+ from reaching the TiO2/Pt buried interface and were used to estimate that between 43-98% of Pt surface sites were encapsulated. Overall, this study shows that CLD is a promising approach for depositing nanoscopic protective overlayers on high surface area electrodes.
Superior Cyclic Stability and Capacitive Performance of Cation and Water Molecules Pre-intercalated δ-MnO2/h-WO3 Nanostructure as Supercapacitor Electrode

Published: December 2023

The large number of active sites in the layered structure of δ-MnO2 with considerable interlayer spacing makes it an excellent candidate for ion storage. Unfortunately, the δ-MnO2-based electrode has not yet attained the exceptional storage potential that it should demonstrate because of the disappointing structural deterioration during periodic charging and discharging. Here, we represent that stable Na ion storage in δ-MnO2 may be triggered by the pre-intercalation of K ions and water molecules. Further, the sluggish reaction kinetics and poor electrical conductivity of pre-intercalated δ-MnO2 layers are overcome by the incorporation of h-WO3 in the pre-intercalated δ-MnO2 to form novel composite electrodes. The composites contain mixed valence metals, which provide a great number of active sites along with improved redox activity while maintaining a fast ion transfer efficiency to enhance the pseudocapacitance performance. Based on our research, the composite prepared from pre-intercalated δ-MnO2 with 5 wt.% h-WO3 provides a specific capacitance of up to 363.8 F g-1 at a current density of 1.5 A g-1 and an improved energy density (32.3 W h Kg-1) along with an ~14% increase in capacity upon cycling up to 5,000 cycles. Hence, the interaction between the pre-intercalated δ-MnO2 and h-WO3 nanorods results in satisfactory energy storage performance due to the defect-rich structure, high conductivity, superior stability, and lower charge transfer resistance. This research has the potential to pave the way for a new class of hybrid supercapacitors that would fill the energy gap between chemical batteries and ideal capacitors.
Solving secular equations for molecular motors within the Hückel approximation using Python
Authors: Heinen Jurn
Published: December 2023

Hückel theory is an empirical quantum chemical method that allows students to solve the secular equations using pen-and-paper. Usually simple hydrocarbons are considered for this exercise, which might not be that inspiring to students. In this work, we present basic Python code to solve this eigenvalue problem and apply it successfully to molecular motors. It is demonstrated that Hückel theory can qualitatively predict the red-shifting of the excitation wavelength upon substituting the aromatic core of a molecular motor. The Hückel calculated frontier molecular orbitals agree well with density functional theory.

Published: December 2023

Phytosterols are lipophilic compounds found in plants with structural similarity to mammalian cholesterol. They cannot be endogenously produced by mammals and therefore always originate from diet. There has been increased interest in dietary phytosterols over the last few decades due to their association with a variety of beneficial health effects including low-density lipoprotein cholesterol lowering, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancerous effects. They are proposed as potential moderators for diseases associated with the central nervous system where cholesterol homeostasis is found to be imperative (multiple sclerosis, dementia, etc.) due to their ability to reach the brain. Here we utilised an enzyme-assisted derivatization for sterol analysis (EADSA) in combination with a liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MSn) to characterise phytosterol content in human serum. As little as 100 fg of plant sterol was injected on a reversed phase LC column. The method allows semi-quantitative measurements of phytosterols and their derivatives simultaneously with measurement of cholesterol metabolites. The identification of phytosterols in human serum was based on comparison of their LC retention times and MS2, MS3 spectra with a library of authentic standards. Campesterol was found at 12.00±2.68 ng/mL, β-sitosterol at 8.50±2.65 ng/mL and fucosterol was at lowest concentration at 1.50±0.84 ng/mL (n=6, healthy individuals). This analytical methodology could be applied to the analysis of other biological fluids and tissues.

Authors: Omotosho Babatunde Joshua
Published: December 2023

Protests, whether violent or non-violent are part of the instruments deployed by youths to express their dissatisfaction with poor governance and non-inclusion in decision-making in Nigeria. To the youths, their relevance in politics seems to begin during election and terminates as soon as elections are over. Changing this narrative becomes critical for these youths in order to enable them to utilise their potentials and contribute to national development. This scenario raises a number of questions: what have been the activities of youths within political spaces and decision-making over the years? Are they involved or excluded and why? The present article interrogates these and other issues and makes suggestions on how youths’ potentials in Nigeria can be properly harnessed, developed and utilised for the benefits of both youths and the citizenry as a whole.

Kelompok Pelestari Lingkungan Buih Muara telah berhasil menghasilkan buah kelapa kupas bulat dan pupuk organik dari limbah sabut kelapa. Namun, mereka mengalami kesulitan dalam menjual buah kelapa dagang karena harganya tidak stabil, bergantung pada fluktuasi pasar. Sementara pupuk organik hanya dijual dengan harga Rp. 10.000 per karung berukuran 20 Kg, potensi limbah sabut kelapa masih belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal. Solusi diberikan melalui diseminasi hasil Penelitian, Pengembangan, dan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PKM). Kelompok ini memberikan hibah teknologi berupa mesin pengayak dan press untuk mengolah limbah sabut kelapa, serta memberikan pelatihan manajemen dan kewirausahaan kepada mitra. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah metode partisipatif, di mana keberhasilan prosesnya bergantung pada partisipasi aktif mitra. Diseminasi teknologi ini memberikan hasil positif. Mesin pengayak mampu memisahkan cocofiber (60%) dan cocopeat (40%) dari setiap 1 kg bahan baku. Mesin press juga efektif dalam mengolah cocopeat menjadi produk bernilai tinggi. Pelatihan manajemen dan kewirausahaan telah meningkatkan keterampilan masyarakat dalam mengelola bisnis. Dengan pemanfaatan mesin pengayak dan press, mitra berhasil menciptakan produk cocopeat dan cocofiber dengan berbagai variasi bentuk, meningkatkan nilai jual produk akhir dari limbah sabut kelapa. Langkah ini menunjukkan upaya efektif dalam memanfaatkan limbah secara optimal, menciptakan nilai tambah produk, serta memberdayakan masyarakat secara berkelanjutan.
