The enhancement of the aerodynamic characteristics of the NACA0012 airfoil is studied numerically. ANSYS Fluent is used to simulate the airfoil's performance by applying certain surface modifications in the form of dimples and protrusions. Different shapes were used, namely, semicircular, v-shaped and square. Analysis has been done on an airfoil of 1m chord length with these modifications, which were implemented on the upper surface of a twodimensional airfoil model and placed at 75% of chord length. A comparative study of surfacemodified airfoil models was done to investigate lift and drag for a constant at Re = 3.0E6 at various angles of attack and compare them with smooth airfoils. The results reveal that the aerodynamic characteristics were improved by applying surface modifications, and the flow separation on the airfoil can be delayed by using dimples and protrusions on the upper surface. It was found that the semicircular dimples and v-shaped bumps have the best aerodynamic enhancement, where the lift coefficient was improved by 11% and 9% compared to smooth airfoils, respectively, while the drag coefficients were reduced by 3% for both shapes. Also, based on these surface-modified airfoil analyses, the stall angle was increased by two degrees. In comparison, the semicircular dimples are more suitable for enhancing the performance characteristics of airfoils.

Published: September 2024

All drilling companies emphasize the importance of maintaining optimum drilling bit hydraulics in real-time drilling operations. The behavior of flow rate and pressure plays a crucial role in monitoring and optimizing drilling processes. By ensuring the hydraulic conditions are optimal, various drilling-related issues such as equipment failure, wellbore instability, and kicks can be minimized, resulting in significant time and cost savings. The paper's main objective is to illustrate the impact of mud pump flow rate optimization on the cutting Transport Fluid Velocity (TFV). This optimization directly influences the pressure loss inside the drill string and annular space, which, in turn, affects the selection of optimum nozzle sizes. The goal is to achieve efficient bottom hole cleaning and hole conditioning, ultimately leading to satisfactory rates of penetration (ROP). The study conducted a series of tests using different pump flow rates ranging from 100 to 500 gallons per minute (gpm) to drill two different sections. An 8 ½" bottom hole assembly (BHA) with a Tri-cone bit and a 6 1/8" BHA with a Polycrystalline Diamond bit were used. The WellPlane Software was employed for optimization. The results of the study indicate that for the 8 ½" section, a minimum pump rate of 488.3 gpm is necessary to avoid cutting accumulation and the formation of bed height. On the other hand, for the 6 1/8" section, a minimum pump rate of 193.2 gpm is required. The optimal parameters for achieving a bed height of zero in the 8 ½" section are a pump flow rate of 500 gpm and nozzle size of (316). For the 6 1/8" section, a pump flow rate of 250 gpm and nozzle size of (514) are recommended. In summary, the optimization of bit hydraulics is essential for mitigating drilling problems and reducing overall drilling costs. By maintaining proper flow rate and pressure conditions, along with appropriate nozzle sizes, efficient bottom hole cleaning can be achieved, leading to improved rates of penetration and overall drilling performance.

Authors:   Petroleum Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, University of Tripoli, Tripoli, Libya., Arwini Saleh
Published: September 2024

Accurate estimation of crude oil bubble point pressure plays a vital role in many petroleum engineering calculations, such as reserve estimation, material balance, reservoir simulation, production equipment design, and optimization of well performance. The Pb can be measured in the pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) experiments. Nonetheless, the PVT measurements have limitations, such as being costly and time-consuming. In this paper, the Al-Marhoun correlation for bubble point pressure for black oil reservoirs is improved using the linearization of non-linear regression techniques to fit Libyan crudes accurately. A total of 62 PVT data reports taken from various Libyan oil fields were used in the study. The PVT data consist of an oil gravity range of 24.7 ºAPI to 46.8 ºAPI and bubble point pressures of 123 psig to 6100 psig. Statistical error analyses and graphical methods were used to evaluate the original and modified Al-Marhoun correlations. The results showed that the improved Al-Marhoun correlation exhibits significantly lower average absolute error and deviation than the published ones. The correlation coefficient of R2 of the improved Al-Marhoun correlation is 96.70%, and the average percent error (APE) is 0.70% with a standard deviation (SD) of 14.70.

Published: September 2024

In today's world, the banking sector, government organizations, and various users in the finance and insurance sectors have grown exponentially. In such situations, they become primary targets for attackers. The main focus of these attackers is to disrupt services for legitimate users. Recently, attackers have targeted banks in Ukraine during the Russia- Ukraine war, causing a shortage of money in banks and making it difficult for people to withdraw funds. These types of attacks fall under the category of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. The primary objectives of these DDoS attacks are to gain financial control and damage the reputation of the affected organization or country. The purpose of this paper is to detect DDoS attacks using various Decision Tree Classifiers in Machine Learning algorithms. We utilized the 'caret' package in R, which is well-known for its Classification and Regression Techniques. We split the KDD'99 dataset based on the outcome variable. We employed the 'rpart' method to classify the dataset using CART and C4.5 algorithms. Experimental results indicate that our classification methods achieve a better accuracy rate compared to other decision tree methods.

Authors: Tawfik Ibrahim Ali Hassanein
Published: September 2024

شَهِدَ العالمُ، خلال السنوات الأخيرة، طفرةً هائلةً في صناعةِ الطائرات دون طيار، التي تُطْلَقُ عليها أسماءٌ عديدةٌ، مثل: الطائرات المُسَيَّرَة، والدرونز (Drones)، والمركبات الجوية غير المأهولة (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). وتتجلى هذه الطفرة في ظهور أنواع عديدة وأجيال جديدة من هذه الطائرات، وانتشارها على نطاق عالمي واسع مع تعدد وتنوع استخداماتها. فهي تُستخدم حاليًّا من قِبَلِ أجهزة الشرطة والأمن لأداء مهام تتعلق بالأمن والسلامة في العشرات من دول العالم. كما أصبحت هذه الطائراتُ تُشَكِّلُ مكونًا مُهِمًّا ضمن المنظومات التسليحية للعديد من الدول، وخاصة في ظل تنوع استخداماتها في المجال العسكري. ولذلك فقد برز دورها كأحد الأسلحة الرئيسة في الحروب الحديثة، سواء أكان ذلك داخل الدول أم بين الدول (Lyall, 2020).
وبالإضافة إلى ما سبق، تُستخدم “الطائرات دون طيار” على نطاق واسع في العديد من الأنشطة والمهام ذات الصلة بالقطاعات المدنية، والإنتاجية والخدمية والترفيهية، مثل: التجارة والزراعة والصناعة والرعاية الصحية والتعدين والسياحة والإعلام وعمليات البناء ومراقبة الحياة البرية والبحث العلمي والتصوير الفوتوغرافي والسينمائي...إلخ. ولذلك وصف بعضُ المختصين العصرَ الراهنَ بأنه “عصر الدرونز” (Boyle, 2020).
وإذا كان يتم استخدام “الطائرات دون طيار” بشكل مشروع من قِبَلِ بعض أجهزة الدولة ومؤسساتها، وكذلك الجهات غير الحكومية والشركات الخاصة والأفراد المُرخص لهم باستخدام بعض أنواع هذه الطائرات، إلا أنه تم - ويتم - استخدامها بشكل غير مشروع من قِبَلِ فاعلين مسلحين من غير الدول، مثل: التنظيمات الإرهابية، والميليشيات المسلحة، وعصابات الجريمة المنظمة (Rossiter, 2018). وهنا تبرز مفارقةٌ مهمةٌ مفادها أن “الطائرات دون طيار” هي أداة أو سلاح تستخدمه أجهزة الشرطة والأمن والجيوش من أجل حماية الأمن الوطني للدولة، إلا أنها تمثل في الوقت نفسه مصدرًا لتهديد هذا الأمن. فنظرًا لانخفاض أسعار أنواعٍ عديدةٍ من هذه الطائرات، وسهولة الحصول عليها، فقد باتت تمثل وسيلةً سهلةً ومنخفضةَ التكلفةِ، يتم استخدامها من قِبَلِ تنظيمات إرهابية، أو عصاباتِ جريمةٍ منظمةٍ، أو ميليشيات مسلحة من أجل إلحاق الضرر بأهداف ومصالح حيوية للدول. ويمثل هذا الأمر تحديًا بالنسبة للدول، حيث بات يتعين عليها تطوير قدراتها العسكرية والأمنية بامتلاك “طائرات دون طيار” متطورة من ناحية، وتطوير أو الحصول على أسلحة ونظم مضادة لهذه الطائرات من ناحية أخرى.
وفي ضوء ما سبق، فإن الهدف من هذه الورقة هو رصد وتحليل أهم مجالات استخدام “الطائرات دون طيار” من قِبَلِ أجهزة الشرطة والأمن في الوقت الراهن، والكشف عن المزايا والفرص التي يوفرها استخدام هذه الطائرات في تعزيز قدرات هذه الأجهزة في أداء المهام المنوطة بها، وفي مقدمتها حماية الأمن الداخلي، وتوفير السلامة للمواطنين. كما تسلط الضوء على أبرز التحديات التي تمثلها “الطائرات دون طيار” بالنسبة لأجهزة الشرطة والأمن، وخاصة عندما يصبح استخدام هذه الطائرات مصدرًا لتهديد الأمن والسلامة.
Are Social Ties Good or Bad?: A Critical Review of the Literature on Network Theory and Social Ties
Authors:   Korean Academy Of Management, Oh Minju , Yoo Minjun , Lee Kyungmook
Published: September 2024

Network theory has traditionally focused on social ties as its primary subject of study, investigating patterns of linkages and relationships among actors and the ensuing social structures from various perspectives. This paper reviews the extant literature on both the positive and negative effects of social ties and social networks. It transcends the mainstream research tradition that has predominantly emphasized positive impacts, presenting domestic and international studies that explore the constraints and costs engendered by social ties, including the excessive homogenization they can cause. Specifically, the paper delves into Granovetter’s (1973) “strength of weak ties” theory, Burt’s (1992, 1995) structural hole theory, which addresses both the patterns of connections and relationships between actors and the resultant structures, and Coleman's (1990) concept of network closure, which underscores the overall structure of social networks. In doing so, this paper presents core tenets of these theories and critically evaluates the current state of knowledge as presented in leading domestic and international management and sociology journals. Finally, considering the implications of networks and their social ties for organizational research, alongside the ease with which individuals can now join various networks through the rapid development of online and mobile social networking sites, the paper underscores the importance of focusing on the costs and constraints that actors face when navigating numerous social connections. It also highlights the necessity of being wary of confirmation bias caused by suggestion algorithms embedded in online sites and proposes directions for future research.

This article presents the concept of a triple controlled S-metric type space, characterized by three control functions: β, µ, and γ. This extends the idea of controlled S-metric type spaces. We explore several properties and provide illustrative examples. Furthermore, we introduce αs-admissible mappings and enhance Wardowski’s contraction principle by introducing (αs-F)-contractive mappings specifically designed for triple controlled S-metric type spaces. The article establishes the existence and uniqueness of fixed points within a complete triple controlled S-metric type space. Finally, we apply our main theorem to demonstrate the determination of a unique solution for an mth degree polynomial.
MODERN SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONCEPTS IN THE FOCUS OF REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN RUSSIA
Authors:   Kazan Federal University, Makarov Mikhail A.
Published: September 2024

The change in the geopolitical context of Russia’s development and the clarification of its priorities made a new appeal to modern socio-economic concepts as a relevant one. The article comprehends concepts that are focused on improving the living standards of the population through the prism of the tasks facing the country and its regions. Among those tasks, according to strategic documents and scientific researches, the need for a new industrialization through the technological re-equipment of industry and a balanced spatial development of the Russian Federation comes to the fore. The theory of innovative economy, which is focused on achieving economic efficiency by improving technologies based on new knowledge and introducing them into production, meets that challenge. The extraordinary circumstances in which the country’s economy operates require special measures of investment support by the state for updating the production base of manufacturing enterprises. In improving the theory of human capital, the idea of replenishing it with characteristics for strengthening social ties and social solidarity is considered as an effective one. A significant factor in the growth of production in the regions is turning out to be an improvement of life quality there, the creation of a decent living standard in non-capital industrial cities of Russia and the attraction of highly qualified specialists there. All those aspects require balancing the economic growth and human potential that updates the application of the theory of sustainable development taking into account the tasks of the national and economic security of the country.

Published: September 2024

The article is about a factor for decreased motivation of employees in the organization – emotional burnout syndrome. According to the survey of NAFI Analytical Center, every second employee felt emotional burnout in the past or is currently experiencing it. The author identifies main reasons for the emotional burnout syndrome and practices that contribute to the prevention of burnout. Special attention is focused on the nature of stress as the main cause of emotional burnout in employees. One solution to issues associated with burnout is the integration of comprehensive well-being programs that affect all spheres of human life. The main goal of well-being programs is to improve the quality of life of employees, increase the level of vitality and stress resistance. The classical spheres of well-being, which are the basis for the development of appropriate programs, are comparable to the classical motivation theory of A. Maslow, which describes the hierarchy of human needs, from basic physiological needs to spiritual and higher-level needs.

O desenvolvimento infantil é um processo contínuo, multifatorial, dependente da maturação do Sistema Nervoso Central (SNC), contextos afetivos, biopsicossociais e estímulos
recebidos no ambiente doméstico. A estimulação precoce (EP) atua na prevenção de agravos do
desenvolvimento psicomotor (DPM) de crianças de risco, nos primeiros anos de vida. Objetivo:
Verificar o DPM de crianças, entre dois e 48 meses, atendidas na Clínica-Escola de Fisioterapia
(CEF) da Universidade do Vale do Taquari - Univates, e o conhecimento de seus pais sobre
o desenvolvimento infantil. Métodos: Estudo exploratório, descritivo e transversal, de abordagem quantitativa, realizado com 17 crianças através do teste Denver II, e seus respectivos
pais (n=34), por meio do Inventário KIDI. Resultados: Todas as crianças apresentam atraso em
alguma área do DPM: 14 (82,35%) apresentam atraso na área pessoal-social e no desenvolvimento de habilidades motoras grossas e, destas últimas, 05 (29,41%) têm atraso significativo ao
esperado para a idade. Nas áreas da linguagem e motora fina-adaptativa, 15 (88,23%) crianças
apresentam atraso. As maiores defasagens estão na linguagem e no motor-grosso. No Inventário
KIDI, 70,55% dos pais sentem-se sobrecarregados, 100% acreditam que podem deixar de vacinar seus filhos até um ano e 88,75% acreditam que o colo “estraga a criança”. Conclusão: Avaliar precocemente o desenvolvimento de crianças que apresentam risco e/ou atraso no DPM,
bem como, investigar o conhecimento de seus pais sobre este processo, auxilia na identificação
das áreas mais defasadas, favorece intervenções mais precisas e amplia o conhecimento dos
pais sobre temas importantes no desenvolvimento das crianças.

Published: September 2024

Este artigo destaca a importância de se construir uma interrelação e intersetorialidade e
as possíveis confluências entre o trabalho multiprofissional das APAES instituição que destaca-
-se por seu pioneirismo e capilaridade, estando presente em mais de 2 mil municípios em todo
o território nacional, atuando nas áreas de educação, saúde e assistência social, constituindo
uma rede de proteção e defesa de direitos das pessoas com deficiência intelectual e múltipla
e o AEE no ensino comum – o atendimento educacional especializado que se presta de forma
complementar ou suplementar aos alunos com deficiência, transtornos globais do desenvolvimento, altas habilidades/superdotação - podendo ocorrer em salas de aula regulares ou nas
Salas de Recursos Multifuncional. Partindo dessa premissa, o artigo se volta para a discussão
de preconceitos e opressões que são materializados contra as pessoas com deficiências a falta
de investimentos nas políticas de educação especial e inclusiva e as dificuldades encontradas no
acesso ao mercado de trabalho, trazendo apontamentos para a ressignificação desse processo.

A incidência de procedimentos estéticos disponíveis, tem potencializado o número de intercorrências devido à ausência de uma sistemática avaliativa. Nos tratamentos estéticos, os exames laboratoriais têm desempenhado um papel crucial na aplicação de estratégias terapêuticas abrangentes. O objetivo desde presente trabalho é mostrar a importância dos exames laboratoriais antes de montar um plano de tratamento ou realizar procedimentos estéticos. Para desenvolver esse estudo e alcançar os objetivos, foi realizado uma pesquisa com análise de revisões bibliográficas de caráter exploratório. com artigos publicados entre os anos de 2019 e 2023, em língua portuguesa e inglesa encontrados em acervos digitais através do PubMed, SciELO, Google Acadêmico e LILACS. Com a diligência desta pesquisa é possível explicar a influência dos exames laboratoriais para a elaboração de protocolos estéticos, intervenções de intercorrências e redução de riscos, em virtude de minimizar disfunções que afetam a saúde do indivíduo. Esta prática é essencial não apenas para obter uma avaliação mais concreta do estado de saúde do paciente, mas também para ampliar a probabilidade de alcançar resultados bem-sucedidos no tratamento. Levando em consideração esses aspectos, os exames laboratoriais podem fornecer evidências mais robustas sobre informações necessárias para realizar procedimentos estéticos.

Published: September 2024

O ensino de idiomas tem sido profundamente transformado pelas tecnologias digitais, e o português, como língua de comunicação e intercâmbio cultural global, tem visto sua presença expandir-se significativamente. Com mais de 260 milhões de falantes em quatro continentes, o português ultrapassa as fronteiras dos países lusófonos, consolidando-se como um idioma de relevância internacional. Universidades e instituições ao redor do mundo têm integrado o português em seus currículos, reconhecendo sua importância estratégica e cultural. Diante desse cenário, decidi compartilhar os recursos digitais que utilizo no ensino de idiomas em aulas virtuais, movido pela crença no poder transformador da tecnologia na educação. Com mais de 8 anos de experiência neste campo aqui em Lima, no Peru, onde ensino português, comecei a implementar ferramentas digitais bem antes da pandemia de COVID-19. Durante a pandemia, refinei essas práticas para atender às novas demandas do ensino remoto, e, no período póspandemia, seguimos aprimorando e aplicando essas estratégias. Este livro é fruto de anos de prática, pesquisa e aperfeiçoamento, com o objetivo de oferecer aos educadores as melhores ferramentas e estratégias para integrar a tecnologia de forma eficaz em suas aulas de idiomas. Desde plataformas de aprendizado online até ferramentas de colaboração e avaliação, a tecnologia oferece oportunidades únicas para enriquecer e diversificar a experiência de aprendizagem. Este livro apresenta uma exploração detalhada de como as ferramentas digitais podem ser utilizadas para potencializar o ensino de idiomas, proporcionando uma abordagem prática para educadores que desejam integrar essas tecnologias em suas práticas pedagógicas.
Sustainable purchasing behavior and the consumer: Pre- and in-store interventions to facilitate the use of carbon labelling
Authors: May Claire , Fearne Andrew
Published: September 2024

This empirical article presents the results of two interventions at different stages in the purchase process designed to influence consumer purchase behavior towards lower carbon products. Survey and questionnaire results show the potential for targeted interventions to increase awareness and understanding of complex sustainability initiatives, such as carbon labelling. Analysis of supermarket loyalty card data provides further evidence of the widely cited attitude-intention-behavior gap. The value of measuring the behavioral impact of interventions objectively is therefore highlighted. The challenge of attempting to change behavior within real world contexts, such as a retail supermarket setting, is illustrated and the consequences of this discussed. Our findings present valuable insights for researchers studying behavioral change and stakeholders attempting to influence pro-environmental purchasing behavior.

The global community is targeting to triple the renewables capacity by 2030. Middle East and North Africa Region can play a key role in this process. Algeria is one of these countries not far from Europe and is expected to be a big exporter of renewable energy. The decision-makers in Algeria have planned to deploy solar photovoltaic and concentrated solar power (CSP) as main renewable energy systems. This study aims to shed some light on the barriers that hindered deployment of the CSP in Algeria though the high potential in terms of solar energy. In this study, data were collected from various sources and the literature. The data are examined, analyzed, and discussed to highlight the barriers of CSP deployment in Algeria. The study showed that cost, energy prices in the Algerian market and water consumption are the main causes for the low deployment of CSP in the country. However, exporting clean electricity to Europe would renew the interest of Algeria in CSP in the future.

This study aims to develop an efficient means of transforming municipal solid waste and agricultural waste to produce and optimize briquettes from biomass as an alternative energy source capable of replacing fossil fuels. The project involved the production of briquettes from paper, sawdust, and charcoal, using industrial starch, and sodium hydroxide pellets as binders. The fuel briquettes were produced from paper and charcoal combination, paper, charcoal and sawdust combination, sawdust and charcoal combination, and wastepaper and sawdust combination at different amounts of binders of 100%, 120%, 140%, 160%, and 180% weight of water to the respective briquettes produced. The combustion-related properties were determined. The data obtained, and the optimization of the briquettes produced from paper, charcoal, and sawdust combinations were done using the design expert software program. From the experiment, it was seen that the briquettes made from the paper, charcoal, and sawdust combination had a better combustion capacity with heating values of 34,469.1 KJ/kg, an ash content of 7.656%, and a volatile matter content of 87% for 180% binder. Also, from the result obtained, it can be confirmed that the briquettes made from paper, charcoal, and sawdust had a higher dry density value of 985.6 g. The cost analysis and evidence from literature show that briquettes are not only a better and more reliable alternative fuel source to the high-rising conventional cooking fuel available but also reduce the problems associated with rapid deforestation environmental degradation, and pollution.
