Investigating the feasibility of a renewable energy-based standalone microgrid for remote area applications: An opto-techno-economic and environmental perspective
Authors: Puppala Saikumar , Singh Piyush Pratap , Potnuru Devendra
Published: December 2024

Energy poverty is a significant barrier to development for millions of people globally in remote areas; developing nations like India still use conventional fuels to meet their energy needs. Microgrids can be a feasible solution for remote electrification by integrating distributed energy resources. The present work investigates the feasibility, planning, and optimal sizing of a standalone microgrid system from a socio-techno-economic and environmental perspective for the electrification of a remote area in an Indian scenario. For the feasibility analysis, a remote village, Dayarthi, in Andhra Pradesh, India, was investigated by considering the daily load profile, which includes domestic loads, community loads, and agriculture loads. The total load demand is 333.53 kWh/day, with a peak load of 45.75 kW. Four potential microgrid configurations are investigated, with various combinations of diesel generator, wind turbine, photovoltaic, and battery storage. A sociotechnical-economic-environmental analysis identifies the best configuration by looking at the different microgrid scenarios that are possible and suggesting the best one with the highest percentage of renewable energy at the lowest net present cost and levelized cost of energy with minimum unmet loads. Furthermore, the optimal scenario cost of energy is compared with the most recent study in the literature.

Kidney ultrasound is a noninvasive diagnostic exam that uses images to assess kidney size, shape, location, and blood flow. It uses B-mode imaging for easy renal anatomy assessment and is often used for renal interventions. Clinical laboratory tests assess kidney function, focusing on glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and proteinuria. Serum creatinine is more accurate than urea, but urea is increased earlier in renal disease. Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto (UDUS) students undergo routine pre-admission checks for visual acuity and body mass index (BMI), but kidney sonographic and laboratory investigations are not conducted. Hence, the need for this study. The research aimed at evaluating the sonographic findings of the kidneys and their correlation with biochemical markers among apparently healthy medical students in UDUS. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 50 apparently healthy medical students. Data was collected for sonographic and laboratory investigations and recorded on a data capture sheet. The study found incidental discoveries among the students, despite no symptoms. Laboratory results were normal, possibly due to protein-rich diets and physical activity. Sonographic results were significant compared to biochemical indices, but serum creatinine and right kidney bipolar length with BMI and gender were insignificant. In conclusion, renal ultrasound plays an important role in assessing the kidneys and should be the first line in diagnostic investigation. This study helped in revealing the renal status of the students.

Environmental pollution is a pressing global issue, with heavy metal pollution posing a significant threat. This study examined the concentrations of heavy metals (cadmium, nickel, lead, chromium, manganese, iron, zinc, copper, mercury, selenium, and arsenic) in various organs and tissues (blood, gills, intestines, liver) of African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus) and Redbelly Tilapia (Tilapia zillii) from Nike Lake in Enugu State, Nigeria. Water samples from the lake were also analyzed for heavy metal concentrations, as well as nitrogen and phosphorous content, nitrate, phosphate, and dissolved oxygen levels. The results showed that the fish samples contained varying concentrations of heavy metals, with the highest levels found in the gills. The ranges of metal concentrations were: Cd (0.00-0.033), Ni (0.00-0.002), Pb (0.00-0.072), Cr (0.00-0.039), Mn (0.00-0.041), Fe (0.010-1.363), Zn (0.268-0.604), Cu (0.008-0.084), Hg (0.00-0.147), Se (0.293-0.474), Mo (0.020-0.095), and As (0.00-0.034). The water samples contained similar concentrations of heavy metals, were Cd:0.02, Ni:0.001, Pb:0.034, Cr:0.00, Mn:0.012, Fe:0.037, Zn:0.173, Cu:0.008, Hg:0.147, Se:0.309, Mo:0.027, As:0.004, with the addition of nitrate (4.373), phosphate (4.383), and dissolved oxygen (45.33) levels. The nitrogen and phosphorous content in the fish organs ranged from 2.938-4.987 and 3.089-7.484, respectively. The study highlights the presence of toxic heavy metals in the organs of the fish, emphasizing the need for regulation and monitoring to mitigate the risks associated with heavy metal pollution in aquatic ecosystems.
Simulation of thermochemical effects on unsteady magneto hydrodynamics fluids flow in two dimensional nonlinear permeable media
Authors: Igba Igba Denen Solomon , Echi Idugba Mathias , Tikyaa Vezua Emmanuel
Published: December 2024

This study aimed to simulate the thermochemical effects on unsteady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fluid flow in a two-dimensional nonlinear permeable medium under the influence of an external space-dependent magnetic field and a non-uniform heat source. Fluid flow is crucial in numerous natural and man-made systems, yet its complexities, especially in MHD contexts, are underexplored. The models momentum, energy, and concentration equations, accounting for the dependence of fluid and media properties, were transformed into nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. These equations were solved numerically using the shooting technique, the sixth-order Runge-Kutta Fehlberg method, and Newton’s Raphson method, supported by Maple software. Computational results were generated for velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles. The skin-friction coefficient, Nusselt Number (which represents heat transfer rate), and Sherwood Number (indicating mass transfer) were also evaluated. The results indicated that velocity increased with the magnetic field parameter, permeability, thermal and mass Grashof Numbers, Prandtl Number, radiation, mass transfer parameters, and wall porosity. Conversely, velocity diminished with an increase in Schmidt Number, space and temperature-dependent heat generation parameters, and unsteadiness. The fluid temperature followed a similar trend, decreasing with increased magnetic field, permeability, Grashof numbers, and other parameters but showed a reverse effect when radiation and unsteadiness were high. Fluid concentration initially increased with smaller parameter values but declined with larger ones. The findings suggested that optimizing thermophysical parameters can significantly enhance heat and mass transfer in unsteady MHD flow through permeable surfaces, making the results relevant for biomedical applications.

Published: December 2024

O presente artigo retoma os conceitos deleuzianos de forças, corpo, sem-fundo e tempo, buscando realizar um diálogo com o conceito de comunidade da diferença de Miroslav Milovic. Nesse movimento, são aproximados o conceito de comunidade da diferença e os conceitos de forças, corpo e memória, destacando as suas pluralidades, multiplicidades e a sua constituição no tempo do devir. Após esse momento, a discussão será voltada para os conceitos de sem-fundo e de tempo para Deleuze. Nesse sentido, será observado no sem-fundo a capacidade dos sujeitos, dos corpos e das comunidades de transformarem a si mesmos e o contexto de sua realidade através da subversão daquilo era visto como definido, eterno e normativo. Já em relação ao tempo de Deleuze, será possível observar a diferença enquanto elemento radical do tempo através das sínteses do presente, passado e futuro.

A DEMOCRACIA DAS DIFERENÇAS
Authors: Biase Rian da Cruz
Published: December 2024

Este artigo aborda a contribuição do filósofo Miroslav Milovic (1955-2021) e sua visão sobre a democracia, justiça social e desafios éticos, em um diálogo com a obra de Judith Butler (1956). Milovic enfatiza a importância das leis e políticas inclusivas para proteger minorias e promover um espaço mais justo e igualitário. A discriminação estaria enraizada nas estruturas sociais e culturais e deveria ser desconstruída para alcançar a dignidade. Em contrapartida, Butler foca nas normas de gênero e sexualidade, desafiando expectativas sociais e promovendo a diversidade. O artigo destaca que Butler luta contra o preconceito da comunidade LGBTQIA + e pelo feminismo, já Milovic buscava uma política moral e verdadeira que usasse as leis existentes para combater as desigualdades sociais, raciais e de gênero. Ambos os pensadores questionam normas dominantes e promovem inclusão, valorizando as diferenças como essenciais para uma sociedade democrática.

La dimensión humana de la economía y de la política en el pensamiento de Adriano Olivetti
Authors: Spiri Silvio
Published: December 2024

En este artículo se delinean los rasgos esenciales de la vida y la obra extraordinaria y compleja de Adriano Olivetti. Él creó un nuevo modelo empresarial en Ivrea basado en una concepción humanista de la economía. Su filosofía económica coloca a la persona y al trabajo en el centro, destaca la importancia de las fuerzas y valores espirituales y culturales, considera la industria como una fábrica de bienestar para toda la comunidad, busca las condiciones para lograr el bien común dentro de una comunidad concreta y otorga prioridad a la persona frente al Estado. Esta concepción tiene sus raíces en la civilización cristiana, que no considera el beneficio individual como el fin último de la actividad económica, sino que pone en el centro el bien integral de la persona y de toda la comunidad. Desde esta perspectiva, Adriano Olivetti puede ser considerado un precursor de la economía civil. Olivetti se inspiró en el personalismo comunitario de Maritain y Mounier, y trató de implementar un orden político basado en las comunidades mediante la creación del "Movimiento Comunitario". En el estatuto y la declaración política de este movimiento se manifiesta una visión federal del Estado, el principio de autonomía, descentralización y participación política de los trabajadores, la insistencia en los valores espirituales y cristianos, y una concepción de la economía socializada pero no estatalizada. El legado cultural y político de Olivetti es verdaderamente significativo y espera ser desarrollado plenamente en el tercer milenio.
Yugoslav self-management: The forgotten anti-capitalist seeds of degrowth
Authors: Kočović De Santo Milica
Published: December 2024

This research investigates the historical significance of self-management practices in Yugoslavia as inherently anti-capitalist and anti-colonial, contributing to the discourse on degrowth. The primary argument posits that Yugoslav self-management embodies unwritten historical elements that resonate with contemporary degrowth theory. Employing a theoretical and methodological framework that encompasses desk research, historical methods, and institutional analysis, this study utilizes Erik Olin Wright's anti-capitalist strategic framework to delineate the unique characteristics of Yugoslav self-management in contrast to other forms. The findings suggest that the Yugoslav model offers relevant insights for future provisioning systems in a post-growth and post-development context.

INSTRUMENTAL SINGULAR ENDING OF NOMINA AGENTIS DERIVED WITH THE SUFFIX -ĀR- IN THE SLAVONIAN PRE-STANDARD/PROTO-STANDARD VARIETY OF CROATIAN AND IN EARLY TEXTUAL DOCUMENTS OF THE SLAVONIAN DIALECT
Authors:   Institut za hrvatski jezik – Zagreb, BUDJA Jurica
Published: December 2024

With certain types of masculine nouns in Croatian there is a doubletism of the instrumental singular ending, which can appear as either -om or -em. In this paper we have analysed a selected corpus to see whether instrumental singular ending of nomina agentis derived with the suffix -ār- in the Slavonian pre-standard/proto-standard variety of Croatian and in early textual documents of the Slavonian dialect took the form -em or -om. Our analysis demonstrates that the suffix form was almost exclusively -om, while its allomorph -em is only found in a few isolated occurrences. The paper also presents explanations for this phenomenon.

Published: December 2024

This paper aims to examine stereotypes in relation to the concept of femininity. The paper shall try to recognize recent trends in breaking myths on female and femininity, based on the example of several relatively recent films and contemporary cri­me TV series. By listing some examples, a portrait of a contem­porary heroine will be produced, seen through the prism of ur­ban settings, strangely immune to gender equality. A comparison and argumentations will be offered related to recent tendencies in presenting heroines in TV series or films. Moreover, the paper will take in consideration both physical and psychopathological impotence and sadism of certain mail characters, as well as rea­sons which trigger the violent response of the heroine, referred to (by some) as the female masculinity.

Dynamic Allocation Strategy for the Car Rental Industry with Multiple Rental Channels
Authors: Peng-Sheng You  , Yi-Chih Hsieh
Published: December 2024

This paper addresses the rental car allocation problem in which a car rental company rents its cars through various channels. This study proposes a constrained model based on the nested-allocation structure to allocate the rental cars to the car rental system to maximize the total rental revenues. The nested allocation strategy uses the concept of whether the number of sales accumulated to a certain level exceeds a threshold corresponding to that sharer. This approach allows the quota of low-profit channels to support the leasing demand of high-profit channels at any time, thereby increasing revenue. The proposed model can dynamically adjust the nested strategy as the dynamic programming model. However, it avoids the issues of ample storage space and long calculation time commonly encountered by the dynamic programming model. Computational results show that the proposed nested approach substantially outperforms the traditional exclusive allocation approach.

Authors: Cheng-Hsiu Li
Published: December 2024

The success rate of free-throw shooting is often a critical factor in determining game outcomes. This study employs machine learning to develop a low-cost, hardware-free joint angle measurement system for free-throw shooting and applies it to the scientific training of free-throw shooting skills. With the system, the joint angle curves of players can be measured without the need for reflective markers, thereby reducing setup costs and facilitating the integration of scientific training. This study presents several innovative features. The experimental results indicate that the amount of training data required for modeling is 50% of that required by the J48 decision tree classifier, with an accuracy 1.2 times higher. Additionally, when a shot is missed, the system compares the disparity in joint angles and provides feedback for posture correction, allowing players to target specific problem areas for training, improve free-throw performance, and assist the team in winning games.

SEROTYPING AND ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE OF ESCHERICHIA COLI ISOLATED FROM DIARRHEIC CALVES IN THE PROVINCE OF TIZI-OUZOU, ALGERIA
Authors: Akkou Madjid , Sadi Madjid , Bentayeb Lamia , Titouche Yacine
Published: December 2024

Calf diarrhea is still a problematic disease in the dairy industry worldwide. Several enterpathogens are associated with diarrhea in calves including Escherichia coli. This latter is one of the most common causes of diarrhea and septicemia in calves. The primary goal of antimicrobial therapy in calves with diarrhea is to prevent bacteremia and decrease the number of coliform bacteria in the small intestine. The excessive use of antibiotics reduced their effectiveness, which eventually led to the risk of emergence of antibiotic resistance. This study aimed to determine the carriage rate, antimicrobial resistance patterns and serotypes of E. coli isolates involved in calf diarrhea in farms from Tizi-Ouzou. A total of 154 fecal samples were collected from diarrheic calves belonging to 22 farms between 2019 and 2021. All the samples were inoculated into MacConkey agar plates (MC) and MacConkey agar supplemented with 2 µg/L of cefotaxime (MC+CTX) for cefotaxime-resistant (CTXR) E. coli. Escherichia coli isolates were identified using API20E commercial kits. Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by a disk diffusion test. The serogrouping of the isolates was realized with a rapid slide agglutination test. Overall, 128 isolates of E. coli (one isolate per sample) were obtained in MC, including three strains in MC+CTX. Furthermore, 47.6 % of E. coli strains recovered from MC agar were resistant to at least one antimicrobial. The three E. coli isolates recovered from MC+CTX media showed an ESBL-producing profile. The serological identification revealed that 67 (52.3%) of the isolated strains were typable with O antisera. The most common serogroup was O55 (13.3%), followed by O128 (10.1%) and O111 (7.8%), O119 (7%), O126 (6.2%), O26 (5.5%), and O114 (2.3%). Antibiotic susceptibility testing revealed that 37.5% (48/128) and 22.7% (29/128) of the isolates were resistant to tetracycline and streptomycin respectively. Furthermore, multidrug resistance was observed in 17.96% (23/128) of the E. coli isolates. Our study provides valuable information about E. coli-associated calf diarrhea in farms of Tizi-Ouzou. Regular antibiotic resistance monitoring is required to limit the spread of multidrug-resistant E. coli in the barn environment.

Published: December 2024

Gastrointestinal (GI) parasites compromise intestinal health in poultry, causing impaired nutrient uptake, poor growth rate and reduced productivity. The effectiveness of control programs relies on an accurate understanding of parasite occurrence and distribution. This survey aimed to determine the diversity and pathological effects of GI parasites of chickens in Lagos State, Nigeria. Three hundred and sixty-four (364) chickens were randomly sampled from selected live-bird markets. Standard parasitological methods were employed to process and examine gastrointestinal content and mucosal scrapings for parasite identification. Live helminths were preserved in 70% ethanol, cleared in lactic acid and identified at the species level. Sections of the gut were also assessed for microscopic lesions following standard histopathological procedures. Findings revealed that 251 (69%) of the 364 sampled chickens were infected with GI parasites. Eleven nematodes, 5 cestodes and coccidia of the genus Eimeria were detected. Ascaridia galli (140, 38.5%), Eimeria spp. (98, 26.9%) and Heterakis gallinarium (82, 22.5%) were the most common parasites found. Helminths were generally more prevalent in local and male chickens (P<0.05) whereas exotic breeds had higher infection rates for Eimeria spp. (P>0.05). Histopathological analyses revealed mild to severe inflammation, oedema, mucosal erosion, and hyperplasia in infected chickens. This study showed that GI parasites are prevalent in chickens and are associated with intestinal damage that can undermine poultry growth and productivity in the study area. Efforts to control must be strengthened to secure chicken production, maintain food security, and prevent economic losses.
Legal Protection for Notary Service Users in the Absence of an Appointed Holder of Notary Protocols Following the Notary's Death
Authors: Sunaryo Syntia , Hajati Hoesin Siti
Published: December 2024

The maintenance and storage of Notary protocols are critical responsibilities that must be managed meticulously due to their importance in ensuring the continuity of Notary services. This obligation is regulated through specific legal provisions, particularly in cases where a Notary has passed away. The Regional Supervisory Council holds the authority to appoint another Notary as the Protocol Holder of the deceased Notary. However, challenges arise when the MPD is unaware of the Notary's death or fails to appoint a Protocol Holder within the legal deadline. These lapses can disadvantage service users who require access to the deceased Notary's protocols, such as copies of deeds or other related documents. This study aims to analyze the responsibilities of the MPD in managing the protocols of deceased Notaries and to evaluate the legal protection available to service users. Utilizing a doctrinal research method with qualitative analysis of secondary data, this research highlights that the MPD is obligated to ensure the timely appointment of Protocol Holder Notaries. Failure to do so impedes public access to Notary services and compromises legal protection for users. To address these issues, the study recommends enhancing MPD supervision and procedural improvements, along with the enforcement of sanctions for negligence. Furthermore, service users are encouraged to seek legal remedies through the courts or supervisory councils to uphold their rights. Strengthening MPD performance and regulatory frameworks is essential for safeguarding public trust and ensuring effective legal protection.

Penelitian ini membahas tentang “Pertimbangan Hukum Hakim Terhadap Hak Asuh Anak Di Bawah Umur (Studi Kasus Putusan Hakim Nomor 1067/Pdt.G/2023/PA. Pwr).” Dampak dari putusnya perkawinan adalah adanya permasalahan hak pemeliharaan anak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana pertimbangan hakim dalam memutuskan perkara hak pemeliharaan anak akibat perceraian serta bagaimana penerapan hukum yang berlaku terhadap hak pemeliharaan anak. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa hak asuh anak dibawah umur pasca perceraian seharusnya berada dibawah kekuasaan ibu. Namun, hakim mempertimbangkan hal yang menjadi faktor yang menggugurkan ibu mendapatkan hak asuh anak. Yaitu, tidak memberikan ASI karena alasan mengalami sakit yang serius, namun penyakitnya tidak bisa dibuktikan secara medis sehingga majelis hakim menilai sebagai sikap yang tidak memiliki kemampuan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan anak. Oleh karena itu, Undang-Undang yang seharusnya menetapkan bahwa ibu memiliki hak lebih besar untuk memelihara anaknya yang masih di bawah umur tidak selalu ditetapkan tanpa mempertimbangkan beberapa faktor seperti ahlak/moral, agama, tempat tinggal dan kesehatan. Maka majelis hakim memutuskan bahwa hak pemeliharaan anak tersebut diberikan kepada ayah, karena dalam pelaksanaan hak asuh anak itu harus mengedepankan kepentingan dan juga terpenuhinya hak-hak anak.

Glukosa adalah sumber energi utama bagi sel-sel tubuh manusia dan berasal dari makanan yang kita konsumsi, terutama karbohidrat. Diabetes merupakan penyakit metabolik kronis yang ditandai dengan tingginya kadar glukosa dalam darah, yang dapat menyebabkan kerusakan parah pada jantung, pembuluh darah, mata, ginjal, dan saraf seiring berjalannya waktu. Literatur ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh latihan yoga terhadap pasien penderita diabetes. Penelusuran menggunakan randomized controlled trials sebagai sumber penelitian. Peneliti hanya menggunakan 278 dari 38.293 artikel penelitian dan jurnal. Data dari 11 penelitian Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT) yang melibatkan 1002 penderita T2DM dianalisis untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh yoga terhadap FPG. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa individu yang melakukan yoga memiliki FPG yang secara signifikan lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan kelompok kontrol [MD -17,22 mg/dl (95% CI: -26,19 – -8,26 mg/dl); p <0,01; I2 = 94% (heterogenitas tinggi); lihat gambar 4a; kepastian bukti rendah]. Meta-analisis ini menunjukkan bahwa yoga dapat memberikan manfaat bagi penderita T2DM, menawarkan keuntungan metabolik tambahan dibandingkan dengan olahraga aktif dan manajemen diabetes standar dalam hal perbaikan parameter glikemik dan lipid.

This retrospective study analyzed the prevalence, etiology, and treatment methods of limb fractures in 288 cats that were admitted to the XXXX University Animal Health Application and Research Hospital between 2018 and 2023 with trauma-related fractures. The findings revealed that the most common fractures occurred in the femur (47.91%), tibia-fibula (22.56%), and humerus (11.45%). It was determined that 56.25% of the fractures were caused by unknown traumas, 23.95% by falls, and 19.79% by traffic accidents. In terms of treatment approaches, surgical intervention was preferred in complex cases, while cage rest and medical treatment were chosen for simpler fractures. Surgical treatment was applied in 54.3% of femur fractures and 67.6% of tibia-fibula fractures. These findings highlight that the fracture type and severity are key factors in determining the appropriate treatment strategy for feline limb fractures. The study concludes that developing individualized treatment plans is crucial for effective fracture management and overall patient care.

Published: December 2024

Cirrhosis is a chronic liver condition characterized by gradual scarring of the tissue in the liver, which then leads to one of the more serious health problems. Early diagnosis and detection of this condition are critical to managing the patient's situation and planning his treatment. Machine learning is a computer science field in which many complex issues have otherwise been successfully resolved, especially in medicine. This work focuses on constructing an artificial intelligence system, assisted by machine learning algorithms, to help professionals diagnose liver cirrhosis at its early stage. In this paper, four different models have been constructed with the aid of clinical parameters of patients and machine learning techniques: Random Forest, KNN, histogram-based Gradient Boosting, and Soft Voting. Two Feature selection methods (Chi-Square and mutual information) have been combined to select the most relevant features in the dataset. Then non-ensemble and ensemble methods are used to detect the condition. The random forest model achieved the highest score among other model with 97.4 % accuracy with a 10-fold Cross-validation method.

The paper presents unknown ultrastructure observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and stereo microscope of aedeagus and spermatheca morphologies of Radymna fischeri Faldermann, 1837 (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae) from Türkiye. This species, which belongs to one of the genera that is very important in biological control, where it was collected in Çankırı on 2023. The genus Radymna Reitter, 1913 includes 9 species in the Palaeartic Region, while it is represented by 5 species in Türkiye. As known, aedeagus and spermatheca morphologies are taxonomically important structures. Before the present study, however, there are no work on these structures of Radymna fischeri Faldermann, 1837. For this reason, ultrastructural and detailed investigations of aedeagus morphology of Radymna fischeri Faldermann, 1837 from Türkiye were firstly studied with SEM to contain male and female genital descriptions of Radymna fischeri Faldermann, 1837. Photos in SEM and stereo microscope are also given in the text.
