Material Selection of Natural Fibre Composite Webbing Sling Using Rule of Mixture
Authors: Muhammad Noryani , Roslan Nur Ain Fatihah , Abd Rahman Mohd Syahril
Published: June 2024

Natural fibre composites have grown in popularity as environmental concerns and knowledge about using eco-friendly materials versus synthetic materials. Furthermore, due to their low density and high strength, natural fibres are suitable for use as lightweight composite and reinforcing materials. Webbing slings are commonly used in many industries to lift loads and are typically made of synthetic fibres such as nylon and polyester. This study analysed the physical and mechanical properties, such as density, tensile strength, and Young’s modulus of natural fibre composites. Bananas, pineapple, and jute with polymer matrices such as polypropylene (PP) and epoxy (EP) were used as alternative natural fibre composites for webbing sling application. Furthermore, descriptive statistical analysis was done to summarise the secondary data from the previous study of the physical and mechanical properties of natural fibre and polymer matrix. The rule of mixture (ROM) is used to identify the optimum fibre loading for manufacturing the webbing sling. This study’s volume fractions of fibre were 10%, 30%, and 50%. Using the ROM equation, the results revealed that the higher fibre loading of up to 50% could increase the mechanical properties such as tensile strength and Young’s modulus. Based on the results, pineapple/epoxy composite was the best material to manufacture the webbing sling and complied with the requirements of Product Design Specifications of polyester webbing sling compared to banana and jute composites.

This research aims to study the thermal and mechanical properties of biodegradable thermoplastic cassava starch (TPCS) reinforced with various sizes of coconut husk fibre (CHF). The range of fibre sizes used was 125, 200, and 300 μm. These CHFs were integrated into a thermoplastic cassava starch matrix to make bio-composites. After integrating all components, the bio-composites were hot-pressed at 155°C for 60 minutes to produce thermoplastic sheets. Tensile and flexural tests were carried out to examine the mechanical characteristics of TPCS/CHF composites. The samples were also characterised using Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The findings demonstrated that a smaller 125 μm CHF improved the mechanical properties higher than other fibre sizes. Fibre with 300 μm showed more voids, which led to lower material strength. TGA results showed that 300 μm fibres enhanced the crystallinity and thermal stability of the material. FTIR and TGA showed that CHF incorporation increased intermolecular interactions and thermal stability. Overall, a smaller fibre size of 125 μm showed a better reinforcement effect than the larger fibre sizes, which enhanced the materials’ tensile and flexural properties. This study demonstrated that modified TPCS/CHF has shown enhanced functionality than neat TPCS.

Authors: Falfán Ina , Bonilla-Moheno Martha , Vázquez Luis-Bernardo , MacGregor-Fors Ian
Published: June 2024

Background

Urban trees are the most conspicuous elements of greenery in cities, providing goods and services that contribute to people’s well-being. However, proper tree care and management are necessary for their survival, particularly for street and residential trees.

Methods

Through a survey, our objectives were to identify and quantify the presence of residential and street trees and the contribution of residents in tree planting and care in the city of Xalapa, Mexico. We assessed the dwelling characteristics that facilitate the presence, planting, and care of residential and street trees in the city (socioeconomic level, homeownership, time of inhabitance, and location of dwellings) via Generalized Linear Models.

Results

In Xalapa, the presence of residential trees was higher than that of street trees; people contributed significantly to the planting and care of both residential and street trees; the socioeconomic level and time of inhabitance were positively associated with the presence and planting of street trees; and homeownership was positively associated with residential trees. However, tree care was largely independent of tree planting and dwelling characteristics.

Conclusions

People’s contributions and commitment to planting and care for residential and street trees are high, with the dwelling characteristics showing as important factors for tree presence and planting, but not for tree care. Recognizing people’s actions and participation in tree planting and care and orienting them towards a positive impact through city planning and management can help to keep Xalapa as a green, functional city that provides quality benefits and services to the urban dwellers.

Atmospherics: Effect of Website Colors on the Evaluation of Utilitarian and Informational Features of Electronic Products
Authors: Rodrigues Lorena , Cavalcanti Paulo Roberto
Published: June 2024

Objective: to verify the effects of atmospherics of a cool color (i.e., blue) and warm color (i.e., orange) on consumer behavior patterns when evaluating a product. Method: The sample consisted of 90 participants divided into three groups according to the background color of the site. Participants evaluated five products from a video call, and after that, they judged affirmatives. Time was also counted. Results: The blue group obtained the highest informative and utilitarian averages, and there was a high correlation between the informative and utilitarian items and purchase intention, showing that the conditions attached to a product's social status are directly linked to the economic and functional benefits it has and to the motivation to buy. The orange group performed the task with more difficulty, as they took a significant amount of time, so it became an aversive task. The linear regression analyses showed that factors related to the subject's self-esteem when purchasing a product are more determinant than the product's functionality. Originality: The general predictions of the BPM held up despite the color variation, but differences in the measures were still found when analyzing each product individually between the groups. Keywords: atmospherics; colors; Behavioral Perspective Model

An Integrated Framework for Controllers Placement and Security in Software-Defined Networks Ecosystem
Authors: Sebopelo Rodney , Isong Bassey
Published: June 2024

In the evolving landscape of Software-Defined Networking (SDN), the strategic placement of controllers poses a critical challenge that necessitate a precise balance between network performance and security. This paper presents an integrated framework for enhancing security and performance in SDN by combining controller placement and intrusion detection systems (IDS). Unlike existing solutions which were implemented disjointedly, we propose a holistic approach that leverages the proximity of controllers to network traffic for real-time threat detection, rapid response, and mitigation of security attacks. We employ an advanced clustering model for optimal controller placement, reducing costs and latency while ensuring reliability and balanced loads. In addition, we utilize k-nearest neighbour (KNN) for efficient anomaly detection in our IDS for improved network security. Experimental results confirm the framework’s effectiveness in strengthening SDN security and resilience. The enhanced-DBSCAN-based CPP model significantly minimized the cost, and latency, and ensured continuous operation in dynamic SDN environments while the KNN-based IDS shows effectiveness in improving threat detection capabilities, achieving high detection accuracy of 100% on the LAN dataset, outperforming other machine learning models such as Random Forest and Naïve Bayes. The indication is that strategic controller deployment, in conjunction with IDS, can significantly bolster threat detection, response times, and the overall security stance of the SDN environment.

Background: The study delves into the nuanced relationship between meal skipping and the double burden of malnutrition among university students. It addresses a critical gap in understanding how young adults' irregular dietary patterns contribute to undernutrition and overnutrition, phenomena typically studied in isolation. Aims: This research aimed to shed light on the broader implications of meal skipping within the context of student health and well-being. Subjects and Methods: The study surveyed a representative sample of undergraduate students from various academic disciplines at Lead City University in Ibadan, Nigeria, utilizing a descriptive cross-sectional approach. Detailed questionnaires were administered to assess the frequency of meal skipping, dietary habits, and associated lifestyle factors. Body mass index (BMI) and self-reported health data were also collected. Statistical analyses, including univariate and bivariate analysis, were employed to identify the nutritional status and meal patterns of the students, Principal component analysis was employed to identify the dietary patterns prevalent among the students from the food frequency questionnaire administered. Results: The findings reveal a significant correlation between meal skipping and the risk of undernutrition and overnutrition. Students who regularly skip meals are likely at an increased risk of undernutrition, characterized by lower BMI and potential micronutrient deficiencies, and overnutrition, indicated by higher BMI and associated health risks. This dual risk factor challenges existing perceptions of nutrition among young adults, suggesting that meal skipping can be a critical determinant of diverse and complex nutritional outcomes. Conclusion: The study highlights the urgent need for comprehensive nutritional strategies at university campuses, focusing on educating students about the risks associated with inconsistent eating patterns. It calls for implementing targeted interventions and policy changes to address the double burden of malnutrition, promoting healthier lifestyles, and preventing long-term health issues among university students.

Keywords: Meal skipping, double burden of malnutrition, university students, nutritional status, dietary patterns, public health interventions, young adult health.

Abstract. While the atmosphere in the eastern Mediterranean is part of the dust belt, it encounters air masses from Europe, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Sahara and Arabian Desert that bring with them a whole host of potential dust and bioaerosol compositions and concentrations via long-range transport. The consequential changes in the populations of ice-nucleating particles (INPs), aerosols that influence weather and climate by the triggering of freezing in supercooled cloud water droplets, including in the convective cloud systems in the region, are not so well understood beyond the influence of desert dust storms in increasing INP concentrations. Here, we undertook an intensive INP measurement campaign in Israel to monitor changes in concentrations and activity from four major air masses, including the potential for activity from biological INPs. Our findings show that the INP activity in the region is likely dominated by the K-feldspar mineral content, with southwesterly air masses from the Sahara and easterly air masses from the Arabian Desert markedly increasing both aerosol and INP concentrations. Most intriguingly, a handful of air masses that passed over the Nile Delta and the northern Fertile Crescent, regions containing fertile agricultural soils and wetlands, brought high INP concentrations with strong indicators of biological activity. These results suggest that the Fertile Crescent could be a sporadic source of high-temperature biological ice-nucleating activity across the region that could periodically dominate the otherwise K-feldspar-controlled INP environment. We propose that these findings warrant further exploration in future studies in the region, which may be particularly pertinent given the ongoing desertification of the Fertile Crescent that could reveal further sources of dust and fertile soil-based INPs in the eastern Mediterranean region.

Daerah Irigasi (D.I) Karajinan terletak di Desa Girijaya Kecamatan Nagrak Kabupaten Sukabumi mempunyai luas areal 251 ha, tetapi saluran primernya tidak mampu mengalirkan debit ke petak-petak sawah yang ada diujung saluran meskipun debit yang dialirkan dari pintu pengambilan sudah sesuai dengan perhitungan rencana kebutuhan air untuk areal 251 ha petak sawah dengan debit yang dialirkan sebesar 0,436 m3/detik. Hal ini disebabkan oleh kurang idealnya dimensi saluran yang ada. Oleh karena itu, bagaimana cara mengatasi agar debit yang dialirkan bisa menjangkau areal layanan di ujung saluran, apakah bisa dengan merubah dimensi saluran. Untuk menghasilkan saluran yang baik yang bisa membawa debit agar dapat mengairi areal layanan sampai ujung saluran, penulis akan melakukan penelitian untuk merubah dimensi saluran yang ada dengan dimensi saluran yang baru disepanjang saluran primer. Hasil yang diharapkan dari penelitian ini agar mendapatkan dimensi saluran baru sehingga areal layanan di hilir saluran bisa terairi dengan optimal. Dimensi saluran yang direncanakan dengan menggunakan perhitungan yang tepat menghasilkan Q 0,436 m³/dt, V (kecepatan air) 0,522 m/detik, b (lebar dasar saluran) 1,50 m, h (Tinggi air) 0,48 m, m (kemiringan talud, horizontal/vertikal) 0,5 m, dan i (kemiringan dasar saluran) 0,0010

Perkembangan transportasi di Kota Sukabumi meningkat pesat, namun pertumbuhan populasi dan jumlah kendaraan menyebabkan masalah kinerja ruas jalan. Salah satunya adalah parkir tidak teratur di Jl. Ahmad Yani, ruas jalan utama. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dan deskriptif dengan data primer dari survei lalu lintas dan data sekunder dari internet. Metode MKJI 1997 digunakan untuk menganalisis kinerja jalan dengan perangkat lunak Microsoft Excel dan PTV-VISSIM. Hasilnya menunjukkan, menghilangkan parkir di badan jalan meningkatkan kecepatan rata-rata kendaraan dan menurunkan derajat kejenuhan, meningkatkan kategori ITP sebesar 38,9%. Dalam permodelan PTV-Vissim, kecepatan rata-rata kendaraan meningkat 45% setelah parkir dihilangkan. Secara keseluruhan, menghilangkan parkir di badan jalan meningkatkan kinerja ruas jalan. The transportation development in Sukabumi City has been growing rapidly, but the population growth and increasing number of vehicles have led to road performance issues. One of the problems is irregular parking on Jl. Ahmad Yani, a major road in the city. The research used a quantitative and descriptive approach with primary data from traffic surveys and secondary data from the internet. The MKJI 1997 method was employed to analyze road performance using Microsoft Excel and PTV-VISSIM software. The results show that eliminating parking on the roadside increases the average vehicle speed and reduces congestion, resulting in a 38.9% improvement in ITP category. In the PTV-Vissim modeling, the average vehicle speed increased by 45% after removing parking. Overall, eliminating roadside parking enhances road performance.

The article reflects the issues of interaction between the court and the prosecutor's office when considering the case on the merits. During the period of judicial reform, the issues of the prosecutor's participation in civil proceedings were repeatedly changed. During the independence of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the issue of the prosecutor's participation in civil proceedings has always remained controversial. The issues of interaction between the court and the prosecutor's office are considered in the article through the prism of the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the laws adopted in accordance with it. Not denied, as the court and the Prosecutor's office should be linked to achieving the goals and challenges they face to achieve a decent result, which will be expressed in the protection of human rights and ensuring law and order in the country. The article considers the forms of interaction between the court and the prosecutor's office. At the present stage, the interaction and role of the prosecutor's office in the system of separation of powers is the exercise of control over the executive branch of government, including the courts, by bringing protests and complaints against court decisions to higher courts, which exercise judicial supervision over the activities of lower courts in the established procedural forms. These powers of the prosecutor's office to appeal against court decisions make it possible to weaken the arguments of some authors about a certain lack of control of judges, to avoid carrying out reforms aimed at limiting the independence of the judiciary. It is assumed that the participation of the prosecutor in the civil process should be minimized. There is no doubt that the prosecutor's participation in civil proceedings cannot be completely rejected, especially if the interests of the State are affected. At the same time, we believe that the participation of the prosecutor in private-legal relations violates the principles of civil procedure, such as dispositivity and adversarial nature.
Las identificaciones políticas en la “nueva derecha” española. Un análisis del caso de VOX desde un enfoque de lógicas
Authors: Reynares Juan Manuel
Published: June 2024

En este artículo buscamos aportar a la caracterización del partido político español Vox, mediante un análisis del proceso de identificación en sus adherentes y activistas. En base a una serie de entrevistas en profundidad con adherentes de Vox, registros audiovisuales en redes sociales y observaciones de actividades proselitistas durante la campaña a la gobernación de la Comunidad de Madrid entre marzo y mayo de 2021, escrutaremos las lógicas social, política y fantasmática articuladas en la identificación voxita desde una perspectiva informada por la Teoría Política del Discurso y algunos elementos del psicoanálisis (Glynos y Howarth, 2007).
En función del análisis de las tres lógicas, plantearemos que el mensaje público de Vox interpela a sus adherentes sobre cuestiones concretas, promoviendo la pretensión de un sujeto pleno y libre. Éste está amenazado, de un lado, por nuevas demandas sociales que desafían el statu quo conservador nacionalista y tradicional, y frustrado, del otro, por la proliferación de desigualdades económicas y sociales. De este modo, a partir de esta exploración de la identificación voxita pretendemos contribuir dentro de la vasta bibliografía existente sobre este actor político que resalta la importancia de la identidad colectiva que Vox construye, o pretende construir, como un factor explicativo de su relativo auge en el escenario español. A su vez nos interesa aportar a la reflexión, mediante este caso específico, en el debate sobre las transformaciones de las dinámicas ideológicas contemporáneas.

The research aimed to investigate the effect of processing on the antioxidant activity and phenolic content of Armenian flaxseeds. This is crucial for understanding their potential health benefits. For laboratory investigations, six flaxseed samples were germinated with different durations (24 h, 48 h, and 72 h) and three of these samples were also heat treated (100 0 C with a duration of 30-40 min). As part of the experiment, ungerminated samples and unheated samples were also tested to compare outcomes. All samples of flaxseeds were analyzed for antioxidant activity using the FRAP (Ferric-Reduced Antioxidant Power) method. The total phenolic content (TPC) was determined using the “Folin Ciocalteu” reagent, with gallic acid as a standard. The obtained results highlight the significant role of processing techniques in determining flaxseed antioxidative activity. Specifically, longer germination periods, notably 72 hours without heat treatment, exhibited antioxidant activity and phenolic content. This contrasted with decreased levels in heat-treated samples. By incorporating flaxseeds, particularly those germinated for extended durations and without heat treatment, into diets, individuals may enhance antioxidant intake. These findings support the development of innovative functional food products aimed at mitigating chronic diseases. Overall, the study contributes valuable insights into the nutritional significance of flaxseeds and emphasizes their potential as functional food components. This fosters advancements in health-promoting dietary practices and product development.
