Ռազմավարական ինքնուրույնության պրոբլեմը Թուրքիայի ռազմավարական մշակույթի հարացույցում / The problem of strategic independence in the paradigm of Turkey’s strategic culture
Authors: Sherents V. A.
Published: December 2023

Turkey’s vision of the ways to achieve strategic independence was generalized and institutionalized after the revolutionary wave of the Arab Spring. Taking advantage of the favorable geopolitical situation, the Justice and Development Party was able to promote its Islamic-national conser­vative ideology in both domestic and foreign policy arenas, due
to neo-Ottomanism leaving out of competition the republican strategic culture.

Being under the defense and security auspices of the Collective West, but actually pursuing a regional policy ensuing from its own interests, Turkey is positioning itself as an independent player taking the challenges of competitive cooperation with regional and global players. Ankara achieves all this both at the expense of a drastic rise in the number of failed states in its immediate neighborhood and due to new systemic approaches targeted at strengthening Turkey’s positions and role in the new world order. In particular, given the overall context of its strategic culture, i.e., the comprehensive historical experience and narrow Turkish perceptions of peace and stability, Turkey has adopted and is gradually implementing its own formula for achieving strategic independence. In this regard, it has become imperative for Turkey to increase the number of flexible alliances and the degree of political-ideological, as well as economic-technological self-sufficiency, and reduce external dependence.
Capítulo 5: A importância dos insetos
Authors: Constantino Reginaldo
Published: December 2023

A importância dos insetos pode ser demonstrada com uma simples pergunta: O que aconteceria se todos os insetos fossem erradicados do planeta? Embora não seja possível prever todas as consequências diretas e indiretas, podemos ter certeza de algumas: 1) extinção de plantas polinizadas por insetos (a maior parte das angiospermas); 2) extinção dos animais insetívoros, incluindo boa parte das aves, peixes, répteis, anfíbios e mamíferos; 3) acúmulo de material animal e vegetal morto, incluindo serapilheira, fezes, e cadáveres, devido à ausência dos insetos necrófagos, xilófagos, e detritívoros em geral; 4) colapso dos solos, que dependem da ação contínua de pequenos animais, a maioria deles insetos, para a manutenção da sua fertilidade e das suas propriedades físicas; 5) superpopulação de animais que são controlados direta ou indiretamente pela ação de insetos; 6) grande redução da produção agrícola; 7) fim da produção de mel, seda, carmim e vários outros produtos derivados de insetos. As pessoas não teriam mais que lidar com mordidas de mosquitos e picadas de vespas, e as plantações não seriam mais danificadas por insetos, porém o resultado global seria catastrófico, com queda dramática na produção de alimentos, extinções em massa e outros problemas ambientais imprevisíveis.

Os embiópteros contam com uma apomorfia muito chamativa, possuem a capacidade de produzir seda em todos os estágios ninfais. A seda é utilizada para a construção dos ninhos, em galerias onde vivem confinados, uma vez que são insetos gregários, com certo cuidado dos ovos e juvenis por parte das fêmeas adultas. Dada a sua forma de vida, possuem um aspecto cilíndrico (Figs 20.7–8). Vivem em regiões temperadas e quentes do planeta. É uma ordem pequena se a compararmos com outros grupos, uma vez que existem cerca de 500 espécies conhecidas no mundo inteiro; muito embora este número deva provavelmente duplicar ou triplicar, uma vez que há poucos especialistas.

Eating behaviors are complicated and often influenced by several factors. Since the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, several restrictive measures were taken to address the multifaceted impact of this disease. As a result, the lifestyle of people, and especially their eating habits were significantly disrupted. Eating and diet are major concerns and need careful management as they can have a huge impact on people’s lives and day-to-day functioning. The aim of this systematic mapping study is to examine the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on people’s eating behaviors. More specifically, we compared people’s eating behaviors before and after the outbreak of the pandemic. A total of 21 studies met our inclusion criteria and were included in the review. The main findings provided information on a dietary shift towards modified eating behaviors; characterized by increased consumption of snacks and a preference for sweet and processed foods instead of fruits, vegetables, and fresh foods. In some countries, an increase in alcohol consumption during the COVID-19 pandemic was also identified. These findings concern the need for more robust public health policies and strategies focusing on prevention and nutrition education.

Published: December 2023

Este estudo tem por objetivo compreender qual o limite da atuação do juiz na colaboração premiada surgida com advento da Lei 12.850/13 que demonstra a tendência de expansão da justiça criminal negocial no cenário brasileiro . Constatou-se que o ingresso, no ordenamento jurídico pátrio, de um instituto, surgido primeiramente nos Estados Unidos, sistema jurídico no qual vige o princípio da oportunidade da ação penal, introduziu o juízo de discricionariedade a ser exercido pelo Ministério Público. Buscou-se observar, a partir o referencial teórico utilizado, de que forma caberia ao juiz efetuar o controle de fundo sobre o resultado do exercício da discricionariedade técnica quanto ao negócio jurídico formalizado entre o titular da ação penal e o colaborador. Objetivou-se compreender de que forma o juiz faria a correta utilização de tal instituto compatibilizando-o com os princípios constitucionais e o sistema penal adotado no Brasil. Perqueriu-se descrever quais os poderes do juiz diante de um instituto com peculiaridades a lhe conferir tamanha autonomia a ponto de que, em certos momentos se vislumbra possibilidade de que a lei 12.850/13 tenha criado um subsistema contido no sistema acusatório e que, no entanto, não se amolda, prima facie, nos regimes jurídicos privados e públicos consubstanciando-se em um regime jurídico especial .
DEVER DE PROTEÇÃO AMBIENTAL, O DESENVOLVIMENTO SUSTENTÁVEL E O EXAME DE RACIONALIDADE ESTREITA NA VISÃO DO SUPREMO TRIBUNAL FEDERAL
Authors: Guimarães Rodrigo Leventi
Published: December 2023

Este artigo trata das Políticas Públicas habitacionais que promoveram alterações no Código Florestal e disciplinaram a ocupação do solo em Áreas de Preservação Permanente para fins de moradia, e a jurisprudência do Supremo Tribunal Federal acerca do dever de proteção ambiental e seu aparente conflito com o princípio do desenvolvimento socioeconômico. A metodologia de pesquisa utilizada foi a revisão da jurisprudência predominante dos Tribunais em comparação com a decisão da Corte Constitucional proferida na ADC 42, bem como a revisão bibliográfica da doutrina da ponderação de valores sob a ótica da racionalidade estreita. O resultado permitiu concluir que o STF mitigou a proibição de retrocesso ambiental, em favor do postulado do desenvolvimento socioeconômico, sob o argumento de que ambos não são políticas intrinsecamente antagônicas.

Comparative Investigation of Mechanical Properties of Ball Attachment Manufactured from Different Alloys and Surface Improvement Processes
Authors: GÜLMEZ Gizem , GORLER Oguzhan
Published: December 2023

The retaining system commonly used in overdenture prostheses is the ball attachments, which are deformed over time, which can affect the retention and stability of the prosthesis. The aim of this study is to research the physical properties of the ball attachments which are made of different alloys and used for surface treatment. In our study, ball attachments produced from different alloys (Grade 4, Grade 5, Grade 23, CoCr) and applied various surface treatments (no surface treatment, anodisation, micro-arc oxidation coating) were used. Samples were prepared in the laboratory environment and exposed to the thermal cycle, which corresponds to a 5-year aging process, by means of chewing simulators. The changes in the surface properties of the ball attachments as a result of the aging process were evaluted with scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDX) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). Considering that the deformation in the matrix and the patrix would affect the retention resistance, tensile bond strength test was applied in a universal test device to measure this resistance. Values were recorded in Newtons and Megapascals. In order to detect the wear on the patrix, weight measurements were made on precision scales. Values were recorded in milligrams (mg). The data were analysed using the SPSS programme. As a result, loss of retention and wear were observed on all ball attachments and matrix. Retention and weight loss were seen the most in the titanium grade 4 group and the least in the CoCr group. No significant difference was found between the other groups.

Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT

Objectives: The aim of this study is to examine the effect of three different types of highly esthetic composite resin, which will be used for aesthetic purposes in the anterior region, on the surface roughness and microhardness by the application of three different finishing and polishing systems, with three-dimensional Optical Profilometer, Vickers microhardness device and SEM analysis.

Materials and methods: Three different composite resins were used in the study; supra-nanofil(Tokuyama Estelite Asteria), supra-nano spherical(Tokuyama Omnichroma), nanohybrid(Kuraray Clearfil Majesty Esthetic) were used. 40 samples of each composite resin were prepared, 120 in total. After the polymerization and correction processes, ten samples from each group that did not undergo any polishing process were separated as the control group. Then, they were randomly divided into three groups for the polishing process: 4-stage aluminum oxide coated disc(3M Sof-lex disc), beige and pink 2-step spiral rubber consisting of aluminum oxide-containing diamond particles(3M Sof-lex spiral), polyurethane, diamond granules. containing light blue rubber and spiral rubber(Ivoclar Vivadent OptraGloss). Surface roughness(Ra) was measured on all samples with a conventional profilometer device. Then, one sample surface from each group was examined with the Optical Profilometer device and the Scanning Electron Microscope, and all samples were subjected to microhardness testing with the Vickers Microhardness Tester.

Results: As a result of our study, the lowest roughness values were observed in the control group, while the highest roughness values were observed in the Ivoclar Optragloss group. The groups studied with Kuraray Clearfil Majesty Esthetic composite showed higher roughness values compared to other composite groups, but no statistically significant difference was found with other composite groups(p>0.05). In our study, the lowest microhardness values were observed in the control group, while the highest microhardness values were observed in the Sof-Lex Disk group. The difference between the groups treated with Kuraray Clearfil Majesty Esthetic composite and the other composite groups was found to be statistically significant(p

Authors: López-Mondéjar Leticia , Armas-Castro José Ángel
Published: December 2023

Investigaciones recientes han puesto de manifiesto el potencial educativo de la arqueología y el patrimonio arqueológico para desarrollar múltiples competencias en el alumnado y solventar algunas de las dificultades que han caracterizado tradicionalmente el aprendizaje de la historia. A pesar de ello, el uso educativo del patrimonio cuenta con una dificultad esencial: la escasa formación del profesorado. El presente trabajo profundiza en esta cuestión y, en particular, en la concepción e intereses de los/as docentes en formación en torno al patrimonio arqueológico y sus usos educativos. La investigación ha utilizado un método mixto, cualitativo y cuantitativo, para el análisis e interpretación de los datos recogidos. Los resultados han permitido identificar aspectos específicos que deben integrarse en la formación de los/as futuros/as docentes para profundizar en el potencial educativo del patrimonio arqueológico y en la implementación de estrategias didácticas que permitan trabajar con el mismo desde la etapa de infantil.
Uso de recursos digitales para la introducción del patrimonio cultural en la escuela primaria: la opinión de los docentes
Authors: Giacalone Annalisa , Arias-Ferrer Laura , Egea-Vivancos Alejandro
Published: December 2023

El potencial educativo del patrimonio cultural ha sido sobradamente defendido en las últimas décadas. Paralelamente, ha habido un impulso en los procesos de digitalización, especialmente integrados en la docencia a raíz de la COVID-19. Se plantea comprobar si estos caminos aparentemente paralelos son convergentes pero, sobre todo, si es posible hacer que estos dos universos fluyan sinérgicamente en el contexto de la escuela primaria. Esta investigación presenta los primeros resultados de una investigación de más envergadura cuya muestra han sido docentes de primaria de Sicilia (Italia). A través de técnicas de corte cuantitativo se analiza el lugar que los recursos digitales ocupan en la introducción del patrimonio en el aula. Los resultados demuestran que lo digital está cada vez más integrado en la enseñanza del patrimonio en primaria, pero muestran un perfil docente que sigue bastante vinculado a la enseñanza transmisiva.

Esteve Pardo, José. Hay jueces en Berlín. Un cuento sobre el control judicial del poder (Editorial Marcial Pons, Madrid, 2020)
Authors: Román Cordero Cristian
Published: December 2023

Este libro de José Esteve Pardo analiza la historia protagonizada, supuestamente, por Federico, el Grande, de Prusia y un molinero. Conforme a ella, en la versión más conocida, el primero quiso comprar al segundo su molino, ya que, próximo a su más preciado palacio, Sans Souci, en Postdam, le ocasionaba contaminación tanto visual como acústica; a lo que este último se opuso. El monarca insistió en su propuesta, pero con la amenaza al molinero de que si no aceptaba, lo privaría de su molino sin indemnización. En este contexto, este habría concurrido ante el tribunal de Berlín, el que habría establecido que ello no estaba dentro de las atribuciones del monarca, confirmando así, frente a este, su derecho de propiedad. Así, Federico, el Grande, de Prusia, al tomar conocimiento de lo resuelto por dicho tribunal, habría manifestado su alegría al saber que aún “hay jueces en Berlín”. Como dato anecdótico cabe destacar que hoy, en las cercanías del referido palacio se encuentra un añoso molino, lo que, pareciera corroborar la veracidad de esta narración.

Assessment of Medical Practitioners’ Knowledge Regarding the Relationship Between Periodontal Disease and Diabetes Mellitus: A Questionnaire-based Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Behl Shubhangi , Patil Vishakha , Dodwad Vidya , Pharne Pooja
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory infectious disease that increases the host’s overall inflammatory burden by inducing a persistent systemic inflammation. This burden has been linked to insulin resistance, the development of diabetes, and its complications. Periodontal therapy plays a vital role in controlling diabetes and its potentially fatal complications. Medical and dental professionals should be aware of this interrelationship between the two diseases to facilitate proper diagnosis and predict better treatment outcomes. Aim: To assess the knowledge of medical practitioners regarding periodontal disease and its inter-relationship with diabetes mellitus. Materials and Methods: This was a questionnaire-based crosssectional study conducted by using google forms between May 2022 and October 2022 among 150 medical practitioners. The questionnaire consisted of 15 questions divided into two parts. The first part gathered personal data, while the second part focused on their knowledge about disease awareness. The collected data were analysed using percentages. Results: Out of 149 participants, who sent completed questionnaires, only 8 practitioners (5.4%) referred all while 99 (66.4%) referred only a few of their patients for dental check-ups. Among them, only 39 participants (26.2%) referred patients for regular general dental check-ups without any complaints or findings. Although 112 (75.2%) had knowledge about the association, only 59 participants (39.6%) knew that it is bidirectional. A total of 80 (53.7%) responses understood that periodontal bacterial load and associated inflammation caused alterations in sugar levels. However, 68 (45.6%) were unaware that periodontal treatment can help improve glycaemic status. Conclusion: It can be inferred that medical practitioners were not aware of the connection between periodontal disease and diabetes mellitus.

Authors: Ahmed Seraj , Patra Soham , Manna Nabarun , Halder Tirna
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Surgical wound closure is the process of closing incised skin to facilitate rapid wound healing with a low risk of complications and an appealing cosmetic outcome. The method and material for wound closure are influenced by the type of surgery, the anatomical site of the wound, and the length of the incision. It must serve both functional and aesthetic purposes with fewer complications. Aim: To compare the rate of Surgical Site Infection (SSI) between skin staplers and polyamide sutures among patients undergoing open abdominal surgeries. Materials and Methods: The present study was a singlecentre, prospective, two-arm, parallel-group, randomised (1:1) clinical study conducted at the Department of General Surgery, IPGMER-SSKM Hospital, Kolkata, West Bengal, India, between July 19, 2022, and January 31, 2023. A total of 134 eligible adult patients (18-70 years) undergoing open abdominal surgeries were screened, enrolled, and randomised to the Surgipler skin stapler (n=67) and Trulon polyamide suture (n=67). Patients were followed up for 84 days. The primary objective was to compare the rate of SSI between the two groups. The secondary objectives were evaluation of wound complications, postoperative pain, patient satisfaction, cosmetic appearance of the wound, time taken for skin closure, ease of use, and safety of the two interventions. The statistical analysis was performed using the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test for continuous variables. A p-value <0.05 was considered significant. Results: The Surgipler skin stapler performed better than the Trulon polyamide suture in postoperative wound closure of open abdominal surgeries, based on the percentage of SSI (2.98% vs. 4.47%), skin closure time (387.99±116.40 vs. 578.57±139.22 seconds), patient satisfaction score (4.20±0.53 vs. 2.69±0.57), the overall Patient and Observers Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) observers score (1.17±0.39 vs. 2.44±0.69), and the overall POSAS patient score (1.24±0.47 vs. 2.50±0.76) at the end of the study. All parameters had a statistically significant p-value <0.0001. Conclusion: The present study concludes that the Surgipler skin stapler performed better than the Trulon polyamide suture in postoperative wound closure in open abdominal surgeries.
Вредные полезные ископаемые и Охотское море — польза сомнений

Published: December 2023

Рассмотрены возможные экологические следствия эксплуатации коренных месторождений золота и меди в бассейнах рек Охотского моря (Магаданская обл.). Добыча и переработка их руд сопряжена с использованием крайне агрессивных химикатов и большими объемами ядовитых отходов. Даже при применении современных щадящих технологий, горняки не смогут гарантированно исключить залповые сбросы. Во-первых, из-за высокой сейсмической опасности территории (известны землетрясения с магнитудой в 6–7). Во-вторых, из-за вечной мерзлоты, которой сплошь подстилается территория региона (темпы ее таяния в отсутствии прогноза глобального потепления корректно оценить невозможно). Двойной риск не может быть оправдан, поскольку при форс-мажорных обстоятельствах ядовитые отходы попадут в Охотское море. Между тем, в 2022 г. 73 % добычи рыбы и морепродуктов в нашей стране обеспечил Дальний Восток, из них 47 % — Охотское море. Сомнения, касающиеся экологических последствий любого проекта, затрагивающего экологию Охотского моря, должны трактоваться исключительно в пользу моря.

Authors: Хаменкова Е.В. , Хорева М.Г.
Published: December 2023

На северо-востоке Азии кальцефильные растения относительно редки, так как преобладающие горные породы бедны карбонатами. В этой связи представляет большой интерес Омулевское среднегорье, сложенное палеозойскими известняками и расположенное в верховьях одно- именной реки. В 2022 г. значительная его часть вошла в национальный парк «Черский» имени А.В.Андреева. Из-за удаленности и отсутствия дорог среднегорье лишь затронуто ботаническими исследованиями. В 2023 г. на вездеходе было пройдено более 1000 км по территории парка. Результаты предварительной обработки сборов позволяют по праву считать Омулевское среднегорье рефугиумом кальцефильной флоры. Здесь среди более 300 видов сосудистых растений, характерных для лесной части северо-востока Азии, выявлено около 20–25 кальцефилов. Почти все они редки в Магаданской обл., а в национальном парке не только обычны, но и многочисленны; некоторые (рододендрон Адамса, хризантема монгольская, эдельвейс мохнатенький и др.) образуют буквально поля по низким галечниковым террасам рек. Примерно половина кальцефилов — регионально охраняемые виды, один — охраняется на федеральном уровне. Будущие исследования в районах среднегорья обещают быть весьма продуктивными.
Первооткрыватели Мамонтова архипелага, "Природа"
Authors: Александров Е.В.
Published: December 2023

Три группы островов Новосибирского архипелага — южные (Ляховские), средние (Анжу) и северные (Де-Лонга) — вслед за Э. В. Толлем, прославившим их и отдавшим им свою жизнь, часто и заслуженно называют «Мамонтовыми». Окружающие их мелководные моря Лаптевых и Восточно-Сибирское замерзают на десять месяцев в году, здесь очень короткое лето и долгая зима, низкие температуры и постоянные сильные ветра. Тем сильнее поражают воображение выходящие на поверхность земли кости громадных животных, напоминающие о совсем другом климате этой местности в далеком прошлом. Представлен обзор первого этапа географического освоения одного из самых труднодоступных и плохо изученных архипелагов Ледовитого океана — Новосибирских островов. Происходившие на глазах процессы трансформации поверхности и несовершенство прежних методов исследования, с одной стороны, объясняют фантастический ореол истории открытия, а с другой — предполагают возможность и необходимость более активных исследований природной модели, которая позволяет наглядно изучать взаимосвязанные природные и социальные процессы настоящего времени.

АНГЛИЙСКИЕ КАТОЛИКИ И ЕЛИЗАВЕТИНСКИЕ ЛЕТНИЕ ПУТЕШЕСТВИЯ, "Средние века"
Authors: Серегина А.Ю.
Published: December 2023

Статья представляет первое комплексное исследование визитов королевы Елизаветы I Английской к дворянам-католикам на всем протяжении ее царствования (1558–1603). Было выявлено большее количество визитов к католикам, нежели это считалось ранее. Просопографическое исследование принимавших английскую королеву католиков показало, что к их числу относились католики-конформисты, принадлежавшие к придворным клиентелам, преимущественно – королевских фаворитов Лестера и Эссекса, или же государственного секретаря Сесила. Визиты королевы могли иметь разные последствия: от ареста до награждения рыцарским званием, а решение приехать в графства со значительным католическим населением всегда диктовалось комбинацией внутри- и внешнеполитических обстоятельств. Приемы, устроенные католиками Елизавете I, были важным средством поддержания диалога между королевой и ее католическими подданными и способом их интеграции в политическую элиту страны.

Published: December 2023

Traditionally, revenue collection in Kassena-Nankana Municipal Assembly (KNMA), as in Ghana, was manual, with some ICT systems employed recently.This study designed an E-payment system for revenue collection in the KNMA. The research focused on the development and implementation of an electronic payment system, to facilitate revenue mobilization. The study utilizes tools such as HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, MYSQL, SQL, and other resources like VS Code, and payment APIs for the development of the system as well as azure key vaut and secureauth for incription and muti-factor authentication( MFA).As part of the research, it is revealed that, there is a strong willingness among people to embrace electronic  payment methods for their taxes, finding it convenient to pay via the internet from anywhere. The E- system developed during this study demonstrated the flexibility expected of an Electronic Payment System, allowing users to create and update accounts, make payments in instalment or in full in any location using their phones. The study establishes a positive impact between the electronic systems and improved revenue generation processes which support the notion that there is indeed a correlation between ICT systems and revenue generation processes, against the notion that there is no correlation.
Estimation of the Probability of Earthquakes Return Period in Zimbabwe Using Gumbel’s Extreme Value Theory Method
Authors: Atsu, J. U.  , Abong, A. A.
Published: December 2023

Using Gumbel's extreme value theory method, this study looked into the probability of the largest earthquakes for different return periods in Zimbabwe. The Advanced National Seismic System (ANSS), the Northern California Earthquake Data Centre website, and UC Berkeley in the United States provided the data used for this study. The natural earthquakes with Mb ≥ 4.0 that occurred in the study area between January 1, 1901 and December 31, 2001 (a period of 100 years) with a focal depth ranging from 0 to 700 km made up the selected data. The study area is between 150S - 220S and 250E -340E in coordinates. A total of 81 events were used in the investigation. According to the results, there is a 100% chance that earthquakes with a magnitude between 4.5 and 5.5 will occur during the time interval of approximately 1 to 14 years and a 9.5% chance that within the next 100 years, there will be an earthquake with a magnitude of Mb = 6.0 or higher. For magnitudes Mb = 6.0 and above, the return period is relatively long - roughly 50 – 701 years. This suggests that there is little chance that Zimbabwe will experience earthquakes larger than magnitude 6.0. Despite being low, it is impossible to forecast with certainty because earthquake forecasting and prediction is still a complex topic.

Published: December 2023

Green chemistry, which synthesises chemicals with less toxicity or reduces the toxicity of hazardous compounds, is an important tool for attaining sustainability. Green nanotechnology offers answers to a number of international problems. Green nanotechnology is seen as a crucial instrument for attaining sustainability in the food industry, animal feed, and agriculture. Green nanotechnology uses biological processes to synthesise nanoparticles (NMs), which find wide-ranging applications in the sustainable agricultural sector and related fields. Various plant tissues, including leaves, stems, barks, seeds, roots, fruits, and flowers, have been employed in the production of nanoparticles (NPs). Diverse natural resources are employed to maintain the agricultural industries. As this book chapter is not intended to cover the whole possibilities of this recently developed field of medicine and study, we will confine ourselves to a quick synopsis of green nanotechnology and the ongoing attempts to explore its potential uses in sustainable agriculture and related fields. Different engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) affect plants in different ways and through distinct mechanisms. In order to create systems for sustainable agriculture, this book chapter also thoroughly examines the absorption, translocation, interaction mechanisms, and phytotoxicity of numerous ENMs in plant species. This review emphasises the benefits and significance of using NMs, together with the primary technological challenges that may arise during the implementation of sustainable agriculture systems.
A Comparative Study on Suitability of AHP and TOPSIS for Identifying optimal Conceptual Design of Bearing Puller
Authors: Vincent Philip
Published: December 2023

Design process of the bearing puller involves various stages that can be grouped into conceptualization of ideas based on design criteria and functional requirements. This is followed by concept generation and selection for optimal design. Concept selection is an important activity in engineering design process, because it involves decision making considering various factors. In this project, computer aided design of four bearing puller was developed after a thorough consideration of the design criteria and factors of an optimal design. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) were used in order to ascertain their suitability for selecting optimal design in engineering. The result obtained from the comparison process proves that both processes are suitable because there are no ties in the final selection of the optimal design concept. The AHP and TOPSIS shows the same design concept irrespective of the processes. This is an indication that both concept selection process considered the weight factor of the level of importance of functional requirement or design criteria. In view of this, it has been proven that whenever the weigh factor remains the same, both processes will give the same result, at least for the considered case. This result may vary when they are both applied for design process of other products.
