This paper works on developing a model of single phase asymmetrical cascaded multilevel inverter (MLI) which couples’ renewable energy sources (RES) to the electrical or electronic loads of the AC powered transport system applications (e.g., Locomotives, Vehicles). MLI is the most important device as it is the main adaptation stage between the source and the load. Researchers are now more focused on multilevel inverters because of its numerous advantages. The prime benefit of a multilevel inverter is obtaining more output voltage levels using a smaller number of DC sources. The proposed topology for this work is asymmetric and produces 31-Levels of output which consists of 12 IGBT switches and 4 isolated dc voltage supplies V dc1 , V dc2 , V dc3 and V dc4 (Ratio of 2:4:8:16). The proposed topology has been processed by using PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) technique. Fundamental switching frequency (50HZ) has been used to achieve better quality of output voltage waveform with low harmonic distortion. The proposed topology has been explicitly and thoroughly analyzed throughout the study to demonstrate its superiority over alternative MLI topologies. Power loss analysis of the chosen MLI topology is also shown. An adequate comparison is also carried out between traditional and the proposed topologies. The comparative analysis shows that the chosen existing topology is better performed than others. According to the theoretical analysis conducted, the maximum efficiency obtained is 92.91% along with THD of 4.44% and TSV of 60 V dc . The accuracy of the proposed topology is verified through simulating the entire model in MATLAB-Simulink software.

Published: February 2024

Key objective of this study was to measure the role of CSR on corporate financial performance in Bangladesh. It has measured the performance of all (30 in 2015) listed private commercial banks (PCBs) of Bangladesh. Those organizations were studied for a ten-year period ranging 2011-2020. The statistical techniques of analyzing panel data especially OLS, random effect, fixed effect, GMM and dynamic GMM methods have been used. The econometric model has been developed where CSR expenditure is a dependent variable and financial performance indicators of the firm (e.g. ROA, ROE, TobinQ, EPS and market price of share) are considered as independent variables. Data analyses show that CSR has a positive effect on the corporate financial performance in Bangladesh.

Authors:   Stony Brook University, Jones Jason Jeffrey , Skiena Steven ,   Stony Brook University
Published: February 2024

A compact, inexpensive repeated survey on American adults’ attitudes toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) revealed a stable ordering but changing magnitudes of agreement toward three statements. Contrasting 2021 to 2023, American adults increasingly agreed AGI was possible to build. Respondents agreed more weakly that AGI should be built. Finally, American adults mostly disagree that an AGI should have the same rights as a human being; disagreeing more strongly in 2023 than in 2021.
Novel insights in the function of the respiratory pump in ventilated ICU patients
Authors: Jansen Diana
Published: February 2024

In the last decade, it has become clear that mechanical ventilation itself is an important contributing factor in the development of respiratory muscle dysfunction, which is associated with adverse outcomes, prolonged ICU admission and increased mortality. Ventilator-induced respiratory muscle dysfunction is caused by excessive unloading or unnoticed loading of the respiratory muscles. To date, most studies focused mainly on the effect of different ventilatory modes and levels of assist at the main inspiratory muscle, the diaphragm. In this thesis, we examined the effect of other frequently used ventilatory settings and the impact of the expiratory muscles on the pathophysiology of diaphragm dysfunction. In addition, several monitoring tools and preventive strategies were investigated.
Covid-19: the impact of the pandemic and resulting support needs of children and young people
Authors: Hughes Ben , Jones Kerry
Published: February 2024

Capacity for death awareness and death anxiety in children and young people has been previously documented, but the impact of Covid-19 and subsequent support needs are not currently known. The aim of this study was to explore children’s and young people’s experiences and responses to the Covid-19 pandemic and to identify resulting support needs that are long-lasting or ongoing. Qualitative data was collected from thirteen children aged 9-10 years old in a primary school in Northwest England and from over a hundred young people, including nine interviews, across the United Kingdom. Children were asked to draw their thoughts and feelings about the pandemic and write a short narration to accompany the drawing. A questionnaire and semi-structured interviews were used with young people aged 12-16. Thematic analysis identified four themes in the data: death anxiety; mental health; positive experiences of the pandemic; and support needs. Findings indicate the need for appropriate support and interventions with children and young people to facilitate safe spaces to express their emotions and share feelings around death, dying, and bereavement confidently in a non‑judgemental setting.

Zeolite A Thin Film Growth on Silica Optical Fibers
Authors: Galioğlu Özaltuğ Sezin
Published: February 2024

Thin films of zeolite A (Linde type A, LTA) were fabricated on silica optical fibers using dip coating method, followed by a secondary growth process. Zeolite A seed crystals with an average crystal size of 247.3 nm were synthesized through hydrothermal method. Then, the dip coating technique was applied to coat silica optical fibers. The one and two-time dip coating resulted in island-like growth, while three-time dip coating process led to the intergrowth of seed crystals, resulting in nearly continuous films on the optical fiber. The seed crystals, initially deposited as a monolayer, were grown by secondary growth method, leading to film thicknesses of 255.3 nm ± 10.1 nm (average ± standard deviation). Upon extending the secondary growth reaction time from 2 hours to 4 hours, the film thickness increased from 255.3 nm ± 10.1 nm to 649.6 nm ± 28.1 nm. Epitaxial growth was identified as the mechanism through which the seed crystals grow. The nanoporous zeolite A films formed on the optical fiber exhibit potential applications as gas sensors. These sensors function by detecting changes in optical reflection caused by the differential adsorption of gases.
Natural regeneration and management of birch
Authors: Dahlgren Lidman Felicia
Published: February 2024

This thesis offers guidance for those who want to naturally establish, maintain and manage birch in monocultures and mixed stands. Silver and downy birch are the most common broadleaf tree species in northern Europe. In Sweden, the two species together make up approximately 12% of the standing forest volume. This thesis presents results from four studies (papers I - IV), with the aim to increase the level of knowledge about establishment and regeneration of birch, management of naturally regenerated birch in pure and mixed stands, and the distribution of birch over Sweden. The studies were based on experimental data from field trials, survey data from practical forestry, Swedish national forest inventory data and predictive modelling. On dry soil, mechanical site preparation is necessary in order to get a successful regeneration of birch; in wet soil moisture conditions, natural regeneration of birch will appear without effort. It is possible to manage the birch regeneration success if the soil scarification is adapted to the soil moisture conditions (paper I). The proportion of silver and downy birch varied in Sweden’s young forests, and the temperature sum explained most of the variation (paper II). In dense, naturally regenerated stands of birch and Norway spruce, pre-commercial thinning (PCT) had a significant impact on the development of the future stand, and there are several profitable management strategies for the owner of this type of stand (paper III). The proportion of birch tends to decrease after canopy closure in mixtures of Norway spruce with stand age in southern Sweden, regardless of thinning (paper IV). Active forest management is key, in order to maintain the proportion of birch over the full rotation period. In conclusion, this thesis offers knowledge that can contribute to a more varied forestry, and forestry with a greater element of broadleaf trees.

Objective With advancements in cardiac surgical interventions during infancy and childhood, the incidence of maternal congenital heart disease (CHD) is increasing. This retrospective study compared fetal and cardiac outcomes in women with and without CHD, along with a sub-analysis between cyanotic versus non-cyanotic defects and operated versus non-operated cases.Methods A 10-year data were retrospectively collected from pregnant women with CHD and a 1:1 ratio of pregnant women without any heart disease. Adverse fetal and cardiac outcomes were noted in both groups. Statistical significance was set at P<0.05.Results A total of 86 pregnant women with CHD were studied, with atrial septal defects (29.06%) being the most common. Out of 86 participants, 27 (31.39%) had cyanotic CHD. Around 55% of cases were already operated on for their cardiac defects. Among cardiovascular complications, 5.8% suffered from heart failure, 7.0% had pulmonary arterial hypertension, 8.1% presented in New York Heart Association functional class IV, 9.3% had a need for intensive care unit admission, and one experienced maternal mortality. Adverse fetal outcomes, including operative vaginal delivery, mean duration of hospital stay, fetal growth restriction, preterm birth (<37 weeks), low birth weight (<2,500 g), 5-minute APGAR score <7, and neonatal intensive care unit admissions, were significantly higher in women with CHD than in women without heart disease.Conclusion Women with CHD have a higher risk of adverse fetal and cardiac outcomes. The outcome can be improved with proper pre-conceptional optimization of the cardiac condition, good antenatal care, and multidisciplinary team management.

Published: February 2024

Organic production is one of the driving engines of a large gear, as on the basis of organic production all food is grown sustainably. The organic food production traceability system emerges as a strategic tool to guarantee safe food and environmental dynamics in the use of biodiversity, identifying and exposing the links between spatially distributed structures differentiating places and processes. The study was carried out in the municipality of Rio Preto da Eva, specifically in the São Francisco community in Ramal Cachoeira, as a survey of information on traceability, theoretical methodological procedures were taken as a basis through documentary and bibliographical research. In this specific case, we work with OCS, from the municipality of Rio Preto da Eva, which is located in the metropolitan region of Manaus. OCS's are formal or informal organizations that carry out social control as a way of guaranteeing the quality of organic production through the organization of farmers themselves. Therefore, the data allowed us to confirm the hypothesis that the traceability of organic products can ensure family farmers through reliability to offer safe, quality food and consequently promote a sustainable market.
Una aproximación sociológica a la discapacidad desde el modelo social: apuntes caracteriológicos
Authors: Ferreira Miguel A. V.
Published: February 2024

En el presente trabajo se propone el análisis de la discapacidad desde una perspectiva sociológica afín a la del modelo social anglosajón. Ello supone la puesta en cuestión de la perspectiva tradicional, según la cual la discapacidad es entendida como una insuficiencia padecida por un individuo, haciendo abstracción del contexto sociocultural en el que la misma cobra sentido (el modelo médico-fisiológico). Si se toma en consideración ese contexto, se comprueba que la discapacidad, como fenómeno social, afecta a tres ámbitos interconectados: el de las prácticas cotidianas, el de la identidad social y el de la estratificación social. Este análisis implica el desarrollo de un marco teórico que estudie la discapacidad en términos de «diferencia» y que evidencie las razones por las que la misma se traduce en marginación, exclusión y opresión. Además, se ha de elaborar partiendo de estudios empíricos que recojan la experiencia de las personas discapacitadas.

TRANSLATION GLOVE WITH SENSOR FOR SIGN LANGUAGE
Authors:   Associate professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Sri Shakthi Institute of Engineering and  Technology, Tamilnadu, India., Prabu Dr . M. Manoj
Published: February 2024

Abstract-The translating glove with sign language sensors is a cutting-edge wearable device designed to close the communication gap between sign language users and non- users. The glove has a number of sensors, such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, and flex sensors, which are strategically placed on the hand and fingers to precisely detect the motions and gestures used in sign language.The glove can detect and interpret a wide range of sign language gestures by using sophisticated algorithms to assess sensor data in real-time. When the sensors record the movements of a sign language user, the algorithms convert their gestures into either spoken or written language. Consequently, real- time communication is possible between people who use sign language and others who do not.Reverse translation is another feature of the glove. The device's sensors convert spoken or written input into motions that are displayed on the glove's surface as the user talks or writes into it. By making it possible for sign language users to comprehend and respond to spoken information, this promotes inclusive communication.
De-risking: The EU’s and Japan’s Approaches to Managing Economic Relations with China
Authors: Zhou Jiayi , Su Fei , Yuan Jingdong
Published: February 2024

The European Union (EU) and Japan have both adopted de-risking measures in their economic relations with China. Driven by concerns over the security and geoeconomic implications of their dependence on China, the EU and Japan have introduced legislation and regulations to mitigate against risks in supply chains, transfers of sensitive technologies and investments, both inward and outward. However, while consensus exists on the need to adopt de-risking measures, the approaches pursued in the EU and Japan vary due to several factors: the nature and extent of their economic interdependence with China, the profile and strength of domestic industries, government–business collaboration and, in the EU’s case, variations in member states’ positions and degrees of enforcement. Both the EU and Japan also recognize the importance of more closely coordinating with each other to achieve their goals: to mitigate or manage potential risks, to enhance resilience, and to maintain (and, where necessary, promote) economic ties with China in areas of mutual benefit.

Development of Patented Autonomous Quantum Gravitational Electric Energy Generator Prototypes
Authors: Poher Claude , Poher Danielle
Published: February 2024

After quantum physics modelling of Gravitational interaction from hypotheses, we performed experimental confirmation experiments of predicted increased Faraday’s induction. Brief and low energy electric discharges were made, at room temperature, into partially superconducting Graphite based devices, patented and named “emitters”, inserted in series with the primary low inductance of a transformer. The high voltage secondary inductance of that transformer was connected to a capacitor, so the secondary current oscillated during several milliseconds.

We Measured the global energy efficiency of Faraday’s induction, during each electric discharge into the emitter of the primary circuit. We also measured evolution of the peak primary discharge current, and of its derivative, versus the initial charge voltage. We observed systematically a much larger than 100% energy efficiency. That energy efficiency increases with the primary discharge energy. The peak discharge current is observed to be much larger than predicted by Ohm’s Law, and the discharge current derivative is also observed to be much larger than classically predicted.

Same experiments, performed with “normal conductive devices (control)”, gave energy efficiencies much lower than 100 %, independent of the stored energy. And their peak discharge currents and derivatives followed Ohm’s Law.

From these confirmations of predicted results, we proposed and tested successfully concepts of Autonomous electric Generators prototypes, extracting their energy from the cosmological Gravitational quantum field. Their industrial use into electric vehicles should preserve Earth fossil energy resources, as well as reduce the detrimental climate effects of greenhouse gases emissions. Hypotheses are suggested to explain the observed experimental facts.
"we are what we have... And we love what we have": resisting resistance
Authors: Guimarães Rafael Moreira
Published: February 2024

Supported by a postmodern view of consumption, the author of this article recognizes as legitimate and pertinent to consider the theme “consumer resistance” as a growing and relevant aspect in the study of the areas of Marketing and Consumer Behavior. However, it is postulated that more radical resistance behaviors on the part of consumers, especially boycotting, may result in ineffective effects in some types of market. This proposition is anchored in the prominent need to create, reinforce and extend the so-called self of consumers, especially when their consumption relationships are based on emotional aspects, as observed in offers related to sport, in which the sense of connoisseur or fan appears to violate the logic of exit or repudiation of brands, products or companies. In this way, the so-called fragility of the concept of boycott is proposed, considered as one of the most radical manifestations of resistance and also considered as one of the ways out of the market logic then in force through the real transfer and exercise of power by part of consumers. My arguments suggest that such a boycott may contain propositions considered innocuous or without practical effect in some consumer relations, such as those characterized and governed by fanaticism. In this way, this article suggests that emotions – an intrinsic characteristic of the aforementioned market – exert a moderating effect on the relationship between companies/entities and consumers, a fact that would make boycott efforts less likely, and continuous acts of extension of the so-called self more evident.

Vaccination acts as the main method of preventing potential changes to global health, which have started outbreaks, endemics, epidemics and pandemics. Epidemiological profile’s analysis allows identifying, planning, executing and evaluating possible actions to control pathologies. A preventive control intervention that contributes positively to these epidemiological actions is immunization. This study aims to analyze the epidemiological impact of the reduction in childhood vaccination between 2012 to 2022. This is a documentary and epidemiological research of a retrospective nature that was carried out in April 2023, using free data, available at the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System. A significant curve was observed relating vaccination between the years of the research, data demonstrates the continued importance of vaccination in preventing vaccine-preventable diseases. These numbers reflect the impact of the reduction in childhood vaccination and highlight the need for awareness raising and vaccination reinforcement actions to prevent the spread of vaccine-preventable diseases.

Authors: Mukrodi Mukrodi , Sarwani Sarwani
Published: February 2024

This research aims to analyze the influence of motivation and discipline on employee performance at PT PLN. Quantitative research methods were used, with 85 respondents selected through sampling. Data was collected through questionnaires and analyzed using instrument tests, classical assumptions, multiple regression, coefficient of determination, and partial and simultaneous hypothesis testing with SPSS 26. The results show that motivation and discipline have a significant effect on the performance of PT.PLN employees. Simultaneously, both positively and significantly impact employee performance, with a coefficient of determination reaching 60.9%, while other factors influence 39.1%. The research concludes that motivation significantly increases employee productivity and performance at PT. PLN. Management can design motivation programs, such as financial incentives, career development, training, or work environment improvement. Discipline also has a positive effect, so it is necessary to develop policies that support and increase employee discipline levels through training and an effective reward and sanction system.

Furthermore, the findings show that the combination of discipline and motivation positively impacts employee work results. Therefore, management needs to consider these two aspects to improve overall performance.

Bacterial resistance is a global public health issue. Among these pathogens, Enterococcus faecium nosocomial has been highlighted due to its potential to cause bacteremia infections. The incidence of resistant Enterococcus faecium bacteremia has enhanced over time, thereby, it has caused high rates of mortality. Hence, it led to the interest in natural drugs. Plant extracts from the Myrtaceae family have a broad-spectrum antimicrobial action. Among the plants of this family, we can highlight cambuí, due to its wide variety of bioactive compounds such as phenolic compounds. Polyphenols are bioactive molecules that can inhibit the growth of resistant bacteria such as Enterococcus faecium. For this, the present study aimed to obtain bioactive extracts from cambuí using pressurized hot water to grow inhibition of multi-resistant Enterococcus faecium nosocomial. In the present study, antibacterial compounds were obtained after extraction kinetics over 120 minutes at a temperature of 50º C, a flow rate of 1 mL/min-1, and a constant pressure of 200 bar using water as the extraction solvent. Flavonoids and other phenolic compounds from cambuí extracts were quantified by spectrophotometric methods. The TSA using the well-diffusion method was used to verify the sensitivity of the bacterium Enterococcus faecium against cambuí aqueous extract. The results showed that the best extraction time was 60 minutes using 60 mL of water. The cambuí aqueous extract showed a relevant amount of flavonoids and other phenolic compounds, hence, this extract was able to inhibit the growth of the bacterium Enterococcus faecium resistant to Ampicillin, Imipenem, Vancomycin, and Teicoplanin.
Anti-biofilm, drug delivery and cytotoxicity properties of dendrimers
Authors: Ezeh Christian Kelechi , Dibua Marie Esther Uju
Published: February 2024

Background and purpose: Treatments using antimicrobial agents have faced many difficulties as a result of biofilm formation by pathogenic microorganisms. The biofilm matrix formed by these microorganisms prevents antimicrobial agents from penetrating the interior where they can exact their activity effectively. Additionally, extracellular polymeric molecules associated with biofilm surfaces can absorb antimicrobial compounds, lowering their bioavailability. This problem has resulted in the quest for alternative treatment protocols, and the development of nanomaterials and devices through nanotechnology has recently been on the rise. Research approach: The literature on dendrimers was searched for in databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. Key results: As a nanomaterial, dendrimers have found useful applications as a drug delivery vehicle for antimicrobial agents against biofilm-mediated infections to circumvent these defense mechanisms. The distinctive properties of dendrimers, such as multi-valency, biocompatibility, high water solubility, non-immunogenicity, and biofilm matrix-/cell membrane fusogenicity (ability to merge with intracellular membrane or other proteins), significantly increase the efficacy of antimicrobial agents and reduce the likelihood of recurring infections. Conclusion: This review outlines the current state of dendrimer carriers for biofilm treatments, provides examples of their real-world uses, and examines potential drawbacks.

Authors: De Matos Natália Renata , Castro Gláucia Fernandes
Published: February 2024

As in other health professions, Physical Therapy needs indicators to guide its management and, consequently, ensure quality care. However, indicators in this area are still scarce. OBJECTIVE: implementing indicators as a care management tool in an Urgency and Emergency Physical Therapy service. METHODOLOGY: this is a cross-sectional study carried out in a reference pediatric hospital in the Federal District. The implementation of the 16 indicators was based on care records and service needs. RESULTS: the data revealed a higher incidence of professionals providing assistance in the months of February, July and August. Regarding the volume of care, the number of patients undergoing invasive and non-invasive mechanical ventilation, as well as the number of transfers to the hospital's own pediatric intensive care unit, there was a significant demand in the first few months of the year. As for the number of deaths and unscheduled extubations, there was a higher incidence in March and April, respectively. Regarding the absence of indicators recording, February and November were more prevalent. CONCLUSION: the seasonal period, characterized by a higher prevalence of bronchiolitis cases, occurs in the first half of the year, resulting in greater demand for pediatric beds. The implementation and effective monitoring of urgency and emergency indicators are challenging, given the operational dynamics marked by dynamism, unpredictability and high demand. Resistance to change and lack of organizational culture for management based on indicators are also significant obstacles.
