Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulation of Reynolds Stress Frequencies in the FDA Nozzle
Authors: Avcı Mesude
Published: June 2024

It is known that examining turbulence effects on medical devices has an important effect in design and optimization of blood-contacting devices. CFD has been commonly used on prosthetic heart valves, stents, and Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs) in both the design process and also on hemodynamics of the flow characteristics. In this study, flows in the FDA nozzle were modeled to examine Reynolds stresses in the whole domain. The flow behavior was determined by applying the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes model of turbulence (k-ω SST) to simulate five distinctive experimental cases in the nozzle taken from the literature. The Reynolds stress frequencies are determined for the five different experimental conditions. Results showed that the highest velocity case (corresponding throat Reynolds number of 6500) has much higher Reynolds stresses with a high number of frequencies. However, the lowest velocity case has very small Reynolds numbers in a very high frequency. When different parts of the nozzle were examined, the Reynolds stress values showed more fluctuations for the higher velocities and more regular profiles for the lower velocity cases.

Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Basovskaya Evgeniya N.
Published: June 2024

The article is about the use of “da net (yes no)” speech cliche in modern Russian newspaper, internet- and radiotexts. The analysis of the Kommersant publishing house in 2022–2023 makes it possible to identify such functions of the construction as mitigation of denial, organization of a questionand-answer passage, ironic clarification of the author’s thought, involvement of the addressee in the process of reasoning. In general, the conversational communicative provides dialogization of media text. The article notes that linguistic dictionaries lack adequate information about the meaning and use of the speech cliche “yes no”, and the task is to clarify the lexicographic fixation of the turnover, taking into account its implementation in modern Russian media language.
Um debate sobre o Fundo de Participação dos Municípios na Paraíba
Authors: Silva Marcus Quintanilha da
Published: June 2024

O objetivo deste artigo foi de debater a potencialidade do Fundo de Participação dos Municípios (FPM) no financiamento da educação dos municípios do estado da Paraíba, considerando as receitas consolidadas para o ano de 2023, bem como as despesas com manutenção e desenvolvimento do ensino (MDE) no mesmo ano de referência. Como método, este trabalho se apoia no materialismo histórico e dialético, compreendendo que a busca de uma descrição dos dados e a realidade aparente são insuficientes para extrair a essência do objeto em debate inserido no modo de produção na sociedade capitalista. Os resultados evidenciam que o FPM é, atualmente, estrutural para a manutenção e desenvolvimento do ensino nos municípios paraibanos, sobretudo os de menor porte populacional, e, na discussão, que o papel do Governo Federal é predominante nas decisões que envolvem a ampliação do volume de impostos que compõem o FPM, incluindo a intensificação (ou não) da precarização dos salários e dos vínculos laborais da classe trabalhadora.

Authors: Korovina M. , Smirnov I. , Aristov A.
Published: June 2024

The purpose of the book is to present the theory and methods of functional analysis that are applied to the study of linear differential equations. Particular attention is paid to the theory of unbounded operators, since usually the operators corresponding to the problems of the theory of differential equations, including equations of mathematical physics, are unbounded. The book contains a brief presentation of a theory supplemented by problems with solutions and a large number of disassembled examples. Most of the material is devoted to the construction of spectra of operators in various normalized spaces, the study of the properties of the isolation of symmetry and self-combination. At the end of the book, the application of the methods set forth in the book is illustrated by the example of studying the properties of the operator of the Storm-Liwill, which should help readers conduct similar research for their tasks. The textbook is designed for senior students who have passed the general course of functional analysis, masters and graduate students. The textbook is based on materials of lectures and seminars, which the authors of the textbook conduct at the Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics of Lomonosov Moscow State University.
Water shutoff in horizontal wells using gel technology
Authors: Saavedra N. , Mamorra D.
Published: June 2024

The main objective of this research was to investigate the feasibility of setting a chemical wellbore plug in a horizontal wellbore. Two main problems associated with the wellbore plug were investigated: (a) method of placement of the plug so that slumping would not occur, and (b) selection and testing of chemicals that could be used to make wellbore plugs with sufficiently high holding pressures. Three chemicals used in the oil industry for gas and/or water shut-off were selected for the study, namely, a monomer, a polyacrylamide and a plastic. The experimental results indicate that (i) a chemical plug could be placed in a horizontal wellbore with minimum slumping if the plug is introduced into a viscous pill, and (ii) the plastic is most suitable for use in a chemical plug because of its high holding pressure. The proposed new isolation technique thus appears to be viable. However, further experimental studies are required, particularly to evaluate the effectiveness of the wellbore plug in conjunction with injection of formation gels.

Authors: Mogollón L. I. , Torres R. , Rodríguez R. , Larrota W. , Ortíz C.
Published: June 2024

Asphalte nes obtained from a crude oil rich in heavy metals (Castilla crude oil) were fractioned by adsorption chromatography. These asphaltenes were partially characterized in orderto determine Ni and Vcontent by High pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC), UV-visible spectroscopy and atomic absorption . Petroporphyrin contents and molecular weigth in the fractions were also determined. The results indicated that Ni and V were not uniformely distributed in asphaltene fractions. Biocatalytic modifications by chloroperoxidase (CPO) of these petroporphyrins were evaluated in both aqueous buffer and organic solvents. The reactions were carried out in both aqueous buffers and ternary systems of toluene: isopropanol: water with petroporphyrins as substrate. The petroporphyrins were more soluble in the ternary system than in the aqueous buffer systems. CPO-mediated reactions were effective in eliminating the Soret peak in both aqueous and organic solvent systems. The effect of CPO-mediated reaction on the release of the metals complexed with the porphyrins and asphaltenes was determined. Chloroperoxidase was able to modify components in the heavy fractions of petroleum and remove 57 % of total heavy metals (Ni and V) and 23 % of asphaltenes from petroporphyrin-rich fractions .

Authors: Nurdiyanto Heri , Fauzi Chairani , Lestari Sri , Saputra Eming Fajar , Mushowir Mushowir
Published: June 2024

Supplier segmentation is a strategic activity for businesses. It involves dividing suppliers into distinct categories and managing them differently. Various supplier typologies based on different dimensions and factors are available in the existing literature. By highlighting two main characteristics the skills and the desire of suppliers to work with a specific company this article integrates many typologies. Almost all of the supplier segmentation criteria stated in the literature are covered by these dimensions. These dimensions can be defined utilizing a multi-criteria decision-making process for each specific case. To account for the inherent ambiguities and uncertainties in human judgment, a fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is suggested as part of the technique. This approach makes use of fuzzy preference relations. A broiler firm uses the suggested process to divide up its suppliers. A categorization of vendors according to two aggregated criteria is the end outcome. Lastly, we offer some suggestions for future research, draw some conclusions, and talk about some techniques to address distinct sectors
Assessing Performance Across Various Machine Learning Algorithms with Integrated Feature Selection for Fetal Heart Classification
Authors: Amanda Laura Rizka , Anasanti Mila Desi , Sumalatha Ramdas
Published: June 2024

The global concern over declining perinatal death rates, particularly in low- and middle-income nations, underscores the importance of adopting Cardiotocography (CTG) as a vital fetal monitoring method. Recent strides in machine learning (ML) present promising opportunities to enhance the accuracy of assessing fetal health, providing a viable alternative to traditional approaches. This study aims to evaluate various ML methodologies and feature selection techniques for predicting fetal health using CTG data. The primary objective is to improve ML algorithms' accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score while selecting the most critical features. The dataset includes 2,126 expectant mothers in the third trimester, with 35 variables related to fetal heart rate (FHR) and uterine contractions (UC). Preprocessing involves feature scaling, data balancing, and outlier elimination. Additionally, a 10-fold stratified cross-validation approach is employed to ensure robust evaluation and generalizability of the model's performance. Six ML algorithms—Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Naive Bayes (NB), Logistic Regression (LR), and K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN)—are employed, optimized through grid search cross-validation. The RF algorithm outperforms with an impressive 99% accuracy, closely followed by DT at 98.7%. Optimizing 15 features from the original 35 using Simultaneous Perturbation Feature Selection and Ranking (spFSR) yields a remarkable accuracy of 99%, mirroring the full feature set. This underscores the vital role of selected features in improving predictive power and overall model performance. The study emphasizes the efficacy of tree-based classification algorithms, especially RF, in predicting fetal health and highlights the impact of preprocessing on model performance. These findings suggest avenues for future research, including exploring alternative feature engineering methods and assessing algorithm performance in diverse scenarios.

Digitising old Yoruba newspapers at Kenneth Dike Library
Authors: Obasola Oluwaseun , Usman Rukayat
Published: June 2024

The Kenneth Dike Library and the Nigeria National Archives are especially rich in ancient collections, particularly those unique to southwestern Nigeria, home to many people of the Yoruba extraction. These facilities house print and non-print materials such as personal notes and written collections of prominent persons, old manuscripts, ancient and modern maps, journals, and old Yoruba newspapers. Many of these print materials, especially the newspapers, are deteriorating. In a bid to prolong shelf-life, access to these old materials is limited. As newspapers serve as gateways to the past, this restricted access can impact the research experience of users.
The paper begins by presenting the project framework, which was designed before the project began. It goes on to detail the nuances involved in the several stages of the digitisation process and considers the aftermath of digitising the papers in terms of ownership, storage, backup, and access. This project revealed two things: first, though digitisation solves the problem of access and preservation, it is still necessary to preserve the original materials to prevent loss due to technical issues. Second, funding, and international partnership work hand in hand with digitisation, as it is a capital-intensive activity. Last, the paper contributes to the ongoing debates on the cultural, and socio-political discourses entwined with the technical processes of digitisation. The highlighted project was sponsored by the European Research Council (ERC) in collaboration with local partners. The website, https://yorubaprints.wordpress.com/yoruba-erc-project/  raises awareness for the project.

Published: June 2024

The Government of Canada’s Tri-Agency formally launched the Research Data Management (RDM) Policy in March 2021 with the objective of supporting “Canadian research excellence by promoting sound data management and data stewardship practices”. A central component of this policy requires postsecondary institutions eligible to administer Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), or the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC ) funds to create an institutional RDM strategy by March 2023.
A national survey was developed to gauge institutions’ readiness for developing an institutional RDM strategy required by the Tri-Agency. The survey emphasized increasing participation from diverse institutions to ensure that future support and resources are developed to address the distinct needs of institutions.
Recommendations from the survey report included increasing Tri-Agency involvement as institutions developed their institutional RDM strategies, encouraging institutions to collaborate, and the development of forums to provide support for disciplinary societies to have RDM conversations.
As a result, three panel discussions covering the active stages (Initial, Planning, and Execution) of developing an institutional RDM strategy were successfully delivered through the Digital Research Alliance RDM (Alliance RDM) to a diverse range of institutions. Recognizing the needs of smaller institutions including CEGEPS, colleges, and polytechnics, an additional panel discussion was developed and delivered to this audience.

Management of gingival recession with modified coronally advanced tunnel technique: Case report
Authors: Dewina Marsha Larasati  , Shafira Kurnia Supandi
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Gingival recession is characterized by apical migration of the gingival margin from the cementoenamel junction (CEJ), with concomitant exposure of the root surface. Teeth with gingival recession often experience pain in response to thermal, chemical, and tactile stimuli to the exposed dentine. This is known as dentin hypersensitivity. Dentin hypersensitivity is characterized by exposed dentinal tubules most often due to gingival recession and loss of cementum through erosion, abrasion, or other factors. Patient’s main concerns: A-20-years-old male patient visited to Periodontics Clinic Dental Hospital Airlangga University with the main complaint of dentin hypersensitivity in the upper right second premolar. The Systemic is good, had no history of allergies and did not smoke. Important clinical findings: The recession measured 1 mm facially on the maxillary right second premolar. Case and Management: Prior to surgery, scaling and root planing was performed to eliminate debris and calculus. Two weeks afterward, modified coronally advanced tunnel technique was done for dentin hypersensitivity treatment. One month evaluation, dentin hypersensitivity disappeared. Conclusion: Modified coronally advanced tunnel technique was the appropriate treatment to treat dentin hypersensitivity. This technique achieved healthy keratinized tissue and coverage of the root surface.

Published: June 2024

Background: Artemisinin-resistant parasites pose a danger to the efficacy of malaria treatment. For a very long time, pharmaceutical companies have relied on plants to provide the prototype molecules required to cure Plasmodium infections. Objective: To evaluate the haematological effects and anti-plasmodial efficacy of combined extracts of Toddalia asiatica and Carica papaya in mice infected with Plasmodium berghei. Methods: 30 mice were divided into 6 groups of 5 mice each. Each experimental mouse received an intraperitoneal injection of an infected blood containing 1x106 red blood cells parasitized by Plasmodium berghei, followed by daily administration of the plant extracts. Group 1-3 received 500,250 and 100 mg/kg of the plant extracts respectively. Group 4 received 500mg/kg of a combination of the two plants extracts. Finally group 5 were give distilled water while group 6 was treated with chloroquine for four consecutive days. For toxicity test the animals received 500mg/kg of the plant extracts combination for14 consecutive days. Results: At day three following infection, the data demonstrated a significant (p < 0.05) decrease in the percentage of parasite load between the infected treatment groups and the negative control group. This reduction persisted until the experiment's conclusion. The two plant extracts combined showed a reduction in parasites that was nearly identical to that of the positive control group. With the exception of MCH and Hb levels, the combination of study plants did not significantly change any of the mice's haematological indices (P > 0.05), suggesting that the combination is a reasonably safe treatment for malaria.

Mania in HIV-infected individuals, though uncommon, can occur at any stage of the infection, from asymptomatic seropositive to symptomatic AIDS and HIV indicator conditions. This article presents three case reports highlighting the clinical complexities and treatment challenges of manic episodes in HIV-positive patients. The first case involves a 50-year-old male with a history of bipolar disorder, who developed symptomatic AIDS with a manic episode. The second case details a 20-year-old female presenting with secondary mania likely induced by antiretroviral therapy and advanced HIV infection. The third case describes a 37-year-old female who manifested manic symptoms following the revelation of her HIV status, alongside significant cognitive deficits. These cases underscore the need for thorough physical examinations, high suspicion for organic causes, and tailored treatment strategies for managing mania in HIV-infected individuals. They also emphasize the potential for early cognitive impairment and the importance of developing appropriate treatment guidelines for this population.

Authors: EnP Katherine B. Buenaflor
Published: June 2024

This mixed-method study examines the relationship between local governance and effective solid waste management (SWM) in three highly urbanized cities (HUCs) within Metro Manila, Philippines. Analyzing data from surveys and interviews with key stakeholders, the research identifies current SWM conditions, governance challenges, and opportunities for improvement. Applying Good Governance Theory principles, the study reveals gaps in planning, budgeting, implementation, and monitoring of SWM programs, alongside concerns about corruption and inequitable service provision. To foster sustainable development through effective SWM, the paper proposes enhanced strategies aligned with legal frameworks and good governance principles. These recommendations emphasize stakeholder participation, enforcement of regulations, transparency, responsiveness, consensus building, equity, effectiveness, accountability, and strategic vision. By adopting these strategies, local government units can improve SWM service delivery, promote resource recovery, and contribute to a cleaner and healthier environment.

Pituitary adenomas that secrete corticotropin and form from monoclonal expansion of cortical cells in the anterior pituitary gland are the source of Cushing's disease. These tumors are typically benign. An adrenal tumor, whether benign or malignant, secretes cortisol due to increased endogenous cortisol synthesis, which also results in Cushing's syndrome. Many problems, such as hyperglycemia, aberrant protein catabolism, immunosuppression, anomalies in neurocognition, bone diseases like osteoporosis, and mood disorders like depression, can be brought on by elevated cortisol levels. Therefore, the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and genetic molecular pathways causing primary adrenal lesions to secrete excessive amounts of cortisol. Protease 8 (USP8) and USP48 somatic activating genetic variants have been found in roughly 21% to 60% of adenocarcinomas, and 6% to 12% of them, respectively. As a result, the most common Cushing's syndrome can be diagnosed at any age between 5 and 75, although the average diagnosis age is between 30 and 49.
