Analytical Study Of Load Rating On RCC Box Girder Superstructure Under The Effect Of IRC Loadings
Authors: - Shreyam Srivastava , - Abhishek Mishra
Published: November 2023

It is observed that over the course of time structural components weakens and their ability to carry the self weight along with the superimposed load decreases. Consequently, it becomes very much important and vital to periodically assess the strength, stability and the performance of the bridge and other structure in order to ascertain their remaining residual strength and to ensure safety. There are different experimental methods available which uses the concept of Non-Destructive testing in order to ascertain the performance and the condition of any structure at any point of time. There are numerous experimental method which are used to perform the Load Rating Analysis but there is no provision to perform the same rating analysis analytically as per the Indian code on bridge related software. This paper generally deals with providing an analytical solution which can be used in order to estimate the residual strength of the bridge structure and perform the Load Rating Analysis analytically on Midas Civil Software. The study basically involves the modelling and Analysis of 2 Reinforced Concrete Box Girder Superstructure, each of span length 40m situated in Lucknow analyzed as per the Indian Standard Codes. Both of the bridge model represents the condition of the bridge structure at a specific time period. The time gap between the analysis of the two models is assumed to be 70 years. The bridge model is modelled and analyzed with the help of Midas Civil Software and the Load carrying capacity of the structure is evaluated based on the different statistical parameters such as Vertical Displacement, Shear Force and Bending Moment. At last a comparative study is conducted between the two models. The analysis revealed that the Bridges Lose their load bearing capacity and strength after a time period of 70 years. A considerable increase in the value of vertical displacement and bending moment was observed beyond the safe and permissible limit of the structure. The analytical approach demonstrated in this study can be applied to various bridge structure such as RCC and PSC Tee Beam Bridge, I Girder bridge, cable stayed bridge etc.
A Study of Female Subjectivity and Agency in Indira Goswami's" A City of its Nakedness" and "The Offspring"
Authors: - Rashmi Yogi
Published: November 2023

: Diversity is one of the significant characteristics in India, e.g. caste, community, culture, tradition, etc., and due to such diversities, social hierarchies can also be seen or felt as aspects relating to female subjectivity have seldom been a part of the literary canon. The paper's centrality is established on the dual subjection and oppression of women protagonists in Goswam's stories. The study of female subjectivity brings forth issues such as sexual surrender and unwilling physical consummation within and outside the marriage, where female characters eventually lack agency and search for their individuality. It also prompts a challenge to ethical boundaries of the imagination to the readers and enables an understanding of the clamour of the female quest for identity. This present paper attempts to locate different forms of oppression in the select short stories of Indira Goswami, i.e. "A City of its Narrative" from the collection Relive Indira Goswami: The Rich Legacy of Her Stories (2014) and "The Offspring" from the collection The Shadow of Kamakhya: Stories (2002)

A Literature Review on Anxiety of the Athletes' Performance
Authors: - Ng Teck Sen
Published: November 2023

In this era of modernization, performance is one of the stress factors that often trigger affective reactions of anxiety, as well as psychophysiological changes in the human autonomic nervous system. In the context of sports performance assessment, athletes experience high levels of anxiety which often have a negative influence on their performance as anxiety tend to be a typical phenomenon experienced by athletes across various sports disciplines. Anxiety can be understood as a negative affective variable associated with a low level of performance (Gómez‐Íñiguez, Rodríguez, & Cantero, 2021). Present study applied narrative review on the previous studies as the research method to examine the factors and effects of the anxiety on the athletes’ performance. By synthesizing the findings from multiple previous studies, this study also aims to provide a deeper understanding of anxiety in athletes' performance and offer insights for future researchers and all other parties who involved in sports. Present study concluded that internal factors are the crucial elements that contribute to the anxiety on the athletes’ performance, and anxiety level tend to be able to increase or decrease the athletes’ performance. In order to ensure the positive effects of anxiety, athletes have to aware and stay in their optimal intensity zone for them to maximize their performance. More research, interventions and application of technology in anxiety awareness and management are recommended for the future researchers.

This article based on the ‘evolution and impact of agrarian and revenue systems: A study of Hyderabad state’ during the second half of the 19th century important changes have taken place in the agricultural sector. The new land revenue reforms and the land tenure systems introduced by Salar Jung contributed to the growth of agriculture cultivation and the introduction of modern methods of cultivation increased the yields. Importantly, the state of Hyderabad was on Economic depression and unfavorable trade due to impact I world war struck the state economy. However, the area under cultivation in 18 percent at the end of the period against 1911. The disappointed rainfall resulted in restricted cultivation for the period 1921-31. Consequence was cattle loss and people migration. Part of the Telangana declared as famine-stricken and relief rendered. The state experienced good health of its economy during the period 1901-1911. During the period, irrigation and railway expansion and increase in textile and mine industry. Agricultural methods were improved and area cultivated advanced (84 per cent increased from 1881 figure). It resulted in increase in population (36 per cent). In 1911-1921, the natural calamity, plague (1911) and influenza epidemic (1918-19) were the main setbacks. Hyderabad State evolved from the Mughal Provinces of the Deccan under NizamalMulkAsalJah. The Mughal agrarian system as existing in the Deccan was continued and adopted by NizamelMulk and it formed the basis for that of Hyderabad. The same was continued by Nizam Ali Khan and his successors with some changes and improvement from time to time to the exigencies of time and for the benefit and welfare of the people.

Auswirkungen von Covid-19 im Spiegel der Lehrevaluation 2020 an Pädagogischen Hochschulen
Authors: Quesel Carsten
Published: November 2023

Der Ausbruch der Covid-19-Pandemie hat dazu geführt, dass die Lehre an Pädagogischen Hochschulen im Frühjahrs- oder Sommersemester 2020 in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz notfallmäßig auf Online-Formate umgestellt werden musste. Auswirkungen dieser Zäsur spiegeln sich unter anderem in Befunden der Lehrevaluation wider. Der Beitrag basiert auf zwölf Dossiers zu Lehrevaluationen an Pädagogischen Hochschulen, die auf der Basis von Ergebnispräsentationen und anderen Quellen zusammengestellt wurden; vertiefend stehen für einen dieser Fälle Originaldaten der Befragung von Studierenden und Lehrenden zur Verfügung. Beim Vergleich dieser Daten mit Befunden aus den anderen Dossiers zeigt sich, dass die akute Krisensituation bei tendenziell hohem individuellem Mehraufwand weitgehend erfolgreich bewältigt wurde, wobei die Belastungen der Umstellung für die Lehrenden in der Regel höher waren als für die Studierenden. Die Umstellung war gleichwohl aus Sicht beider Gruppen mit Einbußen hinsichtlich der Qualität des Lehrangebots, der Interaktion und des Lernerfolgs verbunden. Mehrheitlich wollen beide Gruppen nach dem Ende der Pandemie nicht zum Status quo ante der Präsenzlehre zurückkehren, wobei der Wunsch nach dem Einsatz von Online-Formaten bei den Studierenden insgesamt deutlich stärker ausgeprägt ist als bei den Lehrenden.

Berufspraktische Ausbildung an Partnerschulen: Führen mehr Kooperation und mehr Kontinuität zu einer höheren Professionalisierung?
Authors: McCombie Guido , Guldimann Titus
Published: November 2023

Die berufspraktische Ausbildung nimmt in der Lehrerinnen- und Lehrerbildung eine zentrale Rolle ein. Bis heute dominieren aber traditionelle Formen. Eine Innovation stellen die Partnerschulmodelle dar, welche dank mehr Kooperation und Kontinuität eine höhere Professionalisierung versprechen. Ein solches Modell wurde an der Pädagogischen Hochschule St. Gallen im Rahmen einer Interventionsstudie untersucht (n1 = 33, n2 = 80). Bei Studierenden in den Partnerschulen zeigen sich positive Effekte in der Wissensintegration und der Schülererfolgsorientierung. Die Daten deuten darauf hin, dass weniger die vermehrte Kooperation als vielmehr die höhere zeitliche und örtliche Kontinuität der Grund für die positive Wirkung der Intervention sein könnte.

Bildung für eine Nachhaltige Entwicklung und Lehrerinnen- und Lehrerbildung – eine Beziehung mit Potenzial
Authors: Bertschy Franziska , Künzli Christine , Lausselet Nadia , Pache Alain
Published: November 2023

Bildung für eine Nachhaltige Entwicklung (BNE) hat für die Lehrerinnen- und Lehrerbildung auf wissenschaftlicher und bildungspolitischer Ebene an Bedeutung gewonnen. Im Rahmen der «Beiträge zur Lehrerinnen- und Lehrerbildung» (BzL) ist das Thema indes kaum abgebildet – es erschienen nur wenige Beiträge in den vergangenen 25 Jahren. Es lässt sich daher feststellen, dass BNE im schweizerischen Professionalisierungsdiskurs noch kaum wahrgenommen wird, obwohl das Thema in der Lehrerinnen- und Lehrerbildung angekommen ist und in der professionsspezifischen Auseinandersetzung durchaus ein Potenzial vorliegt, auf Herausforderungen zu reagieren, mit denen die Lehrerinnen- und Lehrerbildung konfrontiert ist: die zunehmende fachliche Fragmentierung sowie das Verhältnis von Unterrichtspraxis und wissenschaftlicher Praxis.

Authors: Prima Yudhi Leo , Aulia Rahman  , Mefri Yanni
Published: November 2023

Background:  Morbidity and mortality of patients after cardiac surgery can be influenced in the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative periods. This study aimed to explore factors that affect the mortality of patients undergoing open heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital, Padang, Indonesia.

Methods: This study is an analytical observational research with a cross-sectional approach and uses secondary data obtained from the medical record installation of Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital, Padang, Indonesia. A total of 57 research subjects participated in this study. Univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses were carried out using SPSS software.

Results: The final multivariate modeling results show that the variables that influence patient mortality are EuroSCORE II (p-value=0.003) and duration of CPB (p-value=0.003). With an odds ratio of 37.21 groups, EuroSCORE II high risk had a risk of death 37.21 times higher than the low-risk group (CI 3.325 – 416.324). Meanwhile, increasing the duration of CPB by one minute increased the risk of mortality 1.02 times (CI 1.006 – 1.030). Meanwhile, there is no influence of variables (NYHA, LV function, ACC duration) on the incidence of mortality in patients undergoing open heart surgery with a machine cardiopulmonary bypass at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital, Padang.

Conclusion: EuroSCORE II affects the mortality of patients undergoing open heart surgery with CPB. The duration of CPB affects the mortality of patients undergoing open heart surgery with CPB.

An Evaluation of the Participation of the Affected Public in Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) For Manufacturing and Processing Industries in the Central Region of Uganda
Authors: Taako George Edema , Andama Edward , Kiemo James Karatu
Published: November 2023

Environmental impact assessment (EIA) was legally introduced in Uganda through the National Environment Act (NEA) 1995 (now NEA 2019) and made operational by the EIA Regulations 1998. Since the origin of EIA from the National Environment Policy Act of 1970 in the USA, public participation has taken an essential part of the EIA process. This paper assesses the legal provisions for public participation in the EIA process and the actual practice in Uganda, particularly the affected public. Data was collected using a literature review, survey questionnaire, interview guides and documentary analysis. The results indicated fairly good legal provisions for public participation and involvement in EIA. However, public participation was not well legislated in the early phases of the EIA process (preparation of project brief, screening, and scoping) and the later phases, particularly final decision-making and EIA follow-up. There were gaps between the law and the actual practice due to many contextual factors, including public participation, weak monitoring by the regulator, weak community cohesion and environmental stewardship, limited dissemination of EIA information and lack of community awareness of projects' potential environmental, social and health impacts. The study made recommendations to promote the participation of the affected public in the EIA process

A Novel Modified Energy and Throughput Efficient LOYAL UN-Supervised LEACH Method for Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors: G Nirmala , Guruprakash C D
Published: November 2023

Data Sensing Devices (DSD’s) have gained lot of traction for various use cases like border control, vehicle tracking. Data Sensing device network (DSDN) is shaped with the aid of combining lot of DSD’s across a random area. Like this multiple groups are formed. In each of the group the specific DSD is elected which is responsible for communication between two independent groups. Each of the group head has multiple attributes with first attribute based on distance, the second attribute based on remaining energy. These attributes will be input for the group head selection based on machine learning, The entire DSD’s inside a group are classified into HIGH, MEDIUM and LOW. The first priority will be given to HIGH followed by others for the primary group head selection. LEACH is a classical method used for transmission of chunks to the control center in a DSDN network. The selection of head DSD by LEACH will happen by making use of the random selection of DSD in each group using random probability selection mechanism. During the data chunk deliver the scanning process will happen from the initiator DSD to head DSD and from there the link is established with the base station (BS), the BS will then scan each group until the destination DSD is reached. The selection of head DSD by LEACH causes more holes in the DSDN because there are chances that the non-performer DSD can become a head DSD. Secondly for the transmission of chunks there is lot of back-and-forth propagation between the BS and the normal DSDs which reduces the battery level of the DSD by a large amount. The Energy based LEACH is modified on top of LEACH by measuring the energy of the DSDs and then selecting the group heads but suffers from multiple group head maintenance as well as more number of links. The proposed method will improve this by reducing the links used for end-to-end communication. In the proposed system the communication will happen based on initiator DSD, primary DSDs in different groups and then destination DSD which will avoid overhead compared to existing methods namely E-LEACH and LEACH. The proposed method is compared with LEACH and E-LEACH with respect to time taken, link count, energy consumption, residual energy measure, lifetime and overhead.

This study investigates the engagement of Maasai parents in providing teaching and learning resources to facilitate formal education in the Longido and Monduli districts. Guided by the participatory model of development, which emphasizes collaboration and open communication channels among stakeholders, the study adopts a phenomenological research design, aligning with qualitative research principles. This approach enables the exploration of Maasai parents' lived experiences of formal education within the context of their culture. The study focuses on Maasai parents in the two districts, employing a purposive sampling technique to select a sample of 72 parents. Twelve focused group discussions were conducted, with six groups from Longido and six from Monduli. Additionally, snowball sampling was utilized to identify and include 10 Maasai traditional leaders from both districts. Data collection involved the use of an interview guide, and the collected data were transcribed and analyzed to identify emerging themes, which were supported by verbatim quotations. The findings of the study indicate a gradual shift in Maasai parents' attitudes towards formal education. In recent years, there has been an increased awareness among Maasai parents regarding the importance of formal education. The provision of school necessities for their children is comparatively satisfactory, and there is a willingness to utilize household resources to support their children's education. Moreover, the study reveals a fair degree of gender sensitivity among Maasai parents in resource provision. Despite the challenges of poverty, cultural constraints, and a harsh environment, Maasai parents are cognizant of their responsibility to meet their children's educational needs. Based on the study's conclusions, it is recommended that the central government, local government authorities, education stakeholders, and the general public continue to sensitize Maasai parents about the significance of active participation in their children's education. By doing so, it is anticipated that the quality of education offered in Maasai schools can be enhanced.

Published: November 2023

The computational studies of a predictive mathematical model for the extraction of interstitial (ISF) for transdermal and non-invasive diagnosis using biodegradable and hollow microneedle patch is presented in this paper. Rapid Diagnostic Tests diagnosis, which is non-invasive, affordable, straightforward, and provides results promptly and reliably, has increased access to parasite-based analysis on a global scale. Microneedle arrays are a rapidly evolving and promising technology for transdermal interstitial fluid extraction, which is used for many clinical diagnostic procedures. Hence, a developed mathematical predictive model used to optimize the design of microneedle patch for transdermal ISF extraction and subsequent diagnosis using dissolvable microneedle arrays was applied in this study. The model's solutions were obtained using the Differential Transform Method. The numerical Runge-Kutta method of fourth order was used to validate it. An experimental test result was also used to further validate the analytical results in the absence of the extracted velocity parameter. And there was a good agreement among them. Influence of dissolution rate constant, microneedle height, diffusion coefficient, velocity of ISF, microneedle ISF drug load, and density of the microneedle; were investigated. Increase in diffusion coefficient and density led to an increase in concentration of ISF extracted over time, an increase in dissolution rate led to a decrease in concentration extracted, while decrease in drug load and height, led to increase in ISF concentration extracted. A negligible effect was observed by varying the velocity of ISF extracted. The approximate analytical approach utilized in the current work has given us a more precise strategy for creating a mathematical model that predicts how ISF will be extracted from skin for use in transdermal and non-invasive rapid diagnostic tests.

Measurement of Light Vehicle Stationary Exhaust System Sound Level Engine Speed Sweep Method
Authors:   Light Vehicle Exterior Sound Level Standards Committee
Published: November 2023

This SAE Recommended Practice establishes the test procedure, environment, and instrumentation to be used for measuring the exterior exhaust sound level for passenger cars, multipurpose vehicles, and light trucks under stationary conditions providing a continuous measure of exhaust system or simulated exhaust sound level over a range of engine speeds or simulated engine speeds.

This document applies only to road vehicles equipped with an internal combustion engine or with an external sound system.

The method is designed to meet the requirements of simplicity as far as they are consistent with reproducibility of results under the operating conditions of the vehicle.

It is within the scope of this document to measure the stationary A-weighted sound pressure level during:

Measurements at the manufacturing stage

Measurements at official testing stations

Measurements at roadside testing

It does neither specify a method to check the exhaust sound pressure level when the engine is operated at realistic load nor a method to check the exhaust sound pressure levels against a general noise limit for categories of road vehicles. It provides the means for detecting exhaust system resonances with the potential to affect both exterior and interior sound quality.

SAE J2805 provides methods to assess vehicle noise emission consistent with in-use vehicle noise emissions at realistic vehicle loads and speeds.

This document incorporates certain provisions of ISO 5130:2019 for measuring the sound level of exhaust systems (see Appendix A).
What Predicts Undergraduate Students’ Decision to Pursue a Career in Biomedical/Behavioral Research within an Upper-Division Research Training Program? A Study of Trainees’ Science Identity and Educational Outcomes
Authors: Masunaga Hiromi , Chun Chi-Ah , Vu Kim-Phuong L.
Published: November 2023

This study examined how science identity and positive educational outcomes relate to student trainees’ decision to pursue a research career in health-related sciences, within the context of a two-year research training program that prepares diverse undergraduate students for a research career. In analyses using the evaluation data, science identity and one of the positive educational outcomes significantly predicted trainees’ decision to pursue a research career in biomedical and behavioral sciences. In general, students with stronger science identity and interest in pursuing research in academia exhibited a firmer decision to pursue a research career in sciences. In a separate analysis that examined the associations between the trainees’ decision to pursue a health-related research career and their underrepresented minority identities, gender, and disciplinary track, results revealed that: (1) the interaction between trainees’ disciplinary track (i.e., biomedical vs. behavioral sciences) and their underrepresented minority status was associated with their decision to pursue a research career, but (2) the gender x disciplinary track interaction was not. Emphasizing the need for supporting diverse undergraduate trainees to solidify their science identity and preparing them for a research career in academia, we discuss implications of our findings for research training programs with similar aims.
