Enhanced Rock Slope Stability Analysis: Integrating the Partial Factor Method into the Limit Equilibrium Method
Authors: Timalsina Hare Ram
Published: June 2024

Rock slope stability is crucial for sustainable design. Especially concerning natural or artificial rock-cut slopes. The stability of these slopes depends largely on features of rock mass, particularly discontinuities. Failure modes are determined by these features and are evaluated using kinematics analysis with stereographic projections. Various methods exist for analyzing rock slopes, including the limit equilibrium method (LEM), which assesses stability based on a factor of safety (FS). Conversely, the partial factor method (PFM), predominantly used in Europe, offers a more reliable and probabilistic approach, incorporating uncertainty factors. Although Eurocode, which employs the PFM, is widely utilized, it faces disputes and undergoes updates based on ISRM recommendations. The partial factor method is considered more conservative than the limit equilibrium method due to its comprehensive probabilistic approach. The choice between methods depends on project requirements, data availability, and expertise. This study compares the limit equilibrium and partial factor methods for rock slope analysis, concluding that the partial factor method is more conservative and sustainable for long-term stability assessment. Whereas, the traditional method is often used for short-term assessments.

Published: June 2024

Pokhara Valley lies in the geographic region rich in karst and the increase in urbanization with natural processes like sinkholes has led to the deformation of land causing socio-economic and physical effects on the people and the geography. Likewise, minimal research using the InSAR approach has been done in the context of the Pokhara Valley. So, this study focuses on the determination of land deformation in Pokhara Metropolitan from 2017 to 2022 using the SBAS technique. Sentinel 1A SLC images were adopted using ascending data acquisition mode. The result shows a cumulative displacement of 1578.97 mm to -1052.65 mm in ascending mode. For validation, SBAS-generated data points of the WRC regions were validated with GNSS value. The Pearson R value was found significant at a 5% significance level and the RMSD value was between 0.8 to 1.73. Thus, the results and the validation process indicate the suitability of SBAS for the determination of land displacement using SBAS.

Authors: Thapa Jyoti
Published: June 2024

The prediction of concrete compressive strength is a crucial aspect of ensuring the structural integrity and durability of construction projects. In recent years, machine learning approaches have improved upon the limitations of empirical formulas and laboratory testing methods for predicting concrete compressive strength. This study utilizes ensemble machine-learning techniques, such as Bagging, XGBoost, and Stacking models, to enhance the accuracy of concrete compressive strength prediction models. A five-fold cross-validation technique was applied to mitigate the problems of underfitting or overfitting in the regression model. Furthermore, various statistical indices were employed to compare the forecasting performance of these ensemble techniques. The prediction performance of this research revealed that XGBoost achieved the highest R-squared value of 93%, followed by Stacking and Bagging regression models at 92%. Consequently, this research underscores the potential of ensemble techniques as valuable tools in the domain of civil engineering, paving the way for more reliable and efficient construction practices.

Published: June 2024

The increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) has led to an increase in demand for charging infrastructure. However, EV charging can introduce harmonic distortion into the electrical distribution network, causing power losses, reduced efficiency, and equipment damage. This project developed an EV charging system with harmonic reduction to ensure a stable and efficient charging process. The research methodology allowed the team to develop an EV charging system with harmonic reduction that was effective in reducing the total harmonic distortion (THD) level from 56.3% to 1%. The system was also found to be stable and efficient during charging. The findings of this project have the potential to make a significant contribution to the development of EV charging infrastructure. The proposed system can help to mitigate the negative impacts of EV charging on the electrical distribution network, while also ensuring a stable and efficient charging process.

STUDY THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT REINFORCEMENT RATIOS ON THE EXPANDED LIGHTWEIGHT GEOPOLYMER MORTAR PROPERTIES
Authors: J. Kadhim Mohammed , Abdulkareem Radhi Alaa
Published: June 2024

Nowadays, the demand for the production of lightweight construction materials is increasing in order to reduce the cost, which is economically beneficial, as well as reducing the weight of the building as a whole. In this work, a lightweight geopolymer based on fly ash (type F) was developed using an alkaline activator at a concentration of 12 M and the ratio of the activator to the binder was (0.6). The natural sand was partially replaced with expanded perlite (EP), at replacement rates of 10, 30, and 50% by weight. Then the lightweight geopolymer (50% by volume of perlite) was reinforced with polypropylene fiber (PPF) with an addition ratio of (0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1%) of the total volume. Laboratory tests were carried out on the produced samples to determine the extent of the properties change after the addition of perlite. The density, insulating and absorbent properties of the lightweight geopolymer composite, which showed a decrease in unit weight with increased porosity and absorbency due to increased interstitial pores, were improved. A clear improvement in flexural strength was also observed when adding 1% polypropylene fibers. As for compressive strength, the improvement was slight. The lower density of the fibers also supports the weight of the unit.

Authors: N. Abas Mohamed , Kawther Hussein Tamara , abd alrazaq Asraa
Published: June 2024

Azithromycin is one of the most popular antibiotics in recent times, due to its use in the treatment of corona, and it is also used to treat many bacterial diseases, reproductive system diseases, and other diseases. It takes a long time to break down in the environment and has a half-life of 68 hours. Hospitals and laboratories are major producers of antibiotics, which are then released into the environment through sewage after improper disposal as medical or industrial waste. Through the food chain, azithromycin reaches the human body. When an individual develops another disease, additional doses of treatment are needed to have an effect, give better results, and recover faster due to the body's reaction to azithromycin. Azithromycin should be disposed of, particularly in aqueous media. The primary objective of this paper is to examine previous studies on an adsorption method for the removal of azithromycin from wastewater.

Published: June 2024

The primary objective of this study is to investigate how the formation of flow impacts the thermal the heat sink's performance and temperature distribution at its base. To achieve this, two distinct channel models, namely the model with a straight channel A and the model with a wavy channel B, are employed to manipulate the flow configuration being analyzed. Additionally, the inlet as well as exit positions were altered by placing the entry at the center of the heat sink. The numerical results are obtained through the utilization of a 3D analysis, specifically ANSYS Fluent. The present research compares numerical results with experimental data obtained from a literature search. Findings of this comparison indicate that the numerical and experimental outcomes are in good alignment. Additionally, the results show that the flow arrangement significantly affects temperature and pressure drop distribution. Despite these facts that the configuration involving a pair of inlets and outlets enhances temperature uniformity and reduces pressure drop. According to the study, the newly proposed models exhibit superior Overall Performance Factor (OPF) compared to the traditional model. Model [A] demonstrates an average OPF of 1.9, whereas model [B] achieves an average OPF of 1.26. Furthermore, the decreased pressure drop provides a superiority of 34% to model [A] over model [B].

Apuntes para una reflexión sobre la praxis instituyente del común en la evolución humana
Authors: Foio María del Socorro
Published: June 2024

A partir de una conceptualización del común, este escrito busca aportar una perspectiva bio-filosófica acerca de los comportamientos morales y la posibilidad de pensar-hacer mundos guiados por el principio de la cooperación mutua, sin egoísmos.En primer lugar se hará referencia a la visión determinista de la genética sostenida por la teoría de la selección natural de las especies que sostiene la preeminencia en los seres vivientes de una competencia entre sí para poder sobrevivir y que condujo a la formulación de la tesis del gen egoísta. Luego, en un cuestionamiento a esa posición, basado en un enfoque no lineal-holístico de la genética, se aportarán evidencias de que la selección natural favoreció no sólo comportamientos altruistas que a la larga benefician al individuo que los realiza, sino también motivaciones genuinamente altruistas.La existencia estable de la cooperación implica que la motivación moral incluye necesariamente elementos altruistas: cooperamos con otros tomándolo como un fin y no como un medio. Concluimos así en que la institución del común en sus diferentes expresiones y tiempos históricos responde a motivaciones altruistas surgidas en la evolución humana.

Uncovering the Hidden Realities of Incest Relations in Context of Patriarchy and Culture: A Case Study of Punjab, Pakistan
Authors: Munir Kalsum , Sultana Aneela
Published: June 2024

Incest has been surrounded by mystery, debate, and legal restrictions since its inception. Anthropologists believe that incest is a culturally driven phenomenon. Estimates of the prevalence of incest in Pakistan are highly variable because these differences are mostly influenced by the definition of incest that is utilized as well as the technique of data collection. However, recent research suggests that the incidence of incest in Pakistan may be significantly higher than was previously thought. According to the findings of a study that was carried out by the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP), incest was implicated in 69% of sexual abuse occurrences that were reported in 2018. According to the study, families that strictly adhered to their cultural and traditional norms had a lower likelihood of disclosing any cases of incestuous rape that may have occurred within the family. The study takes into account the consequences of keeping it a secret.

The idea of ethnicity suggests a sense of communal identity within a particular society. The complex blend of racial, cultural, and historical traits used to distinguish individuals from other groups. Since Pakistan's independence, there have been numerous ebbs and flows in terms of ethnic nationalism in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces that have a serious influence on the solidarity, integration, and unityof the state. Such conflict still exists today. Additionally, since the beginning, governmental and non-governmental entities have persevered in fostering a favorable environment. The government's participation, meanwhile, has not been as effective as it could havebeen. Additionally, from 2000 to 2022,.The flaws of the governments, societies, and elites of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan must also be evaluated severely. In addition, sensible suggestions must be made in order to kill evil in the bud and ensure Pakistan's existence.

O ensino de ecologia por investigação: processo formativo para professores de ciências no contexto amazônico
Authors: Castro Andréia de Oliveira , Rosário KLEBSON DANIEL SODRÉ DO
Published: June 2024

O presente produto educacional foi elaborado no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação e Ensino de Ciências na Amazônia da Universidade do Estado do Pará (PPGEECA/UEPA). Nele propomos um processo formativo que voltado para o ensino de Ecologia por investigação na prática docente no ensino fundamental, a fim de que os professores desenvolvam habilidades na elaboração de atividades através do ensino por investigação, que levem em consideração o contexto amazônico de forma interativa e participativa. Os livros didáticos do Programa Nacional do Livro e do Material Didático (PNLD) são, em sua maioria, elaborados com características concentradas principalmente no Sudeste e Sul do Brasil, o que resulta em lacunas de conteúdo para as regiões Norte, Nordeste e Amazônia. Partindo dessa problemática, como um processo formativo docente, tendo como referencial teórico-metodológico o Ensino por Investigação, e considerando o ensino de Ecologia no contexto amazônico, pode possibilitar uma reelaboração de saberes para uma perspectiva didática que fomente uma aprendizagem contextual e cidadã? Muitas são as discussões atuais sobre as questões ambientais e as necessidades de a sociedade adotar posturas mais eficientes para o uso sustentável dos recursos naturais. Contudo, tais discussões parecem estar mais presentes nos meios científicos, políticos e culturais, do que no meio escolar, onde, em geral, os conteúdos científicos são apresentados, quase sempre, de forma mais teórica que prática, e pouco contextualizada com questões ambientais típicas da Amazônia Paraense. Dessa forma, os conteúdos do escopo da ciência Ecologia são apresentados de forma abstrata e distanciados do contexto que lhe deu origem, ocorrendo assim, uma separação entre aquilo que é aprendido e aquilo que é utilizado, de fato, no cotidiano do aluno. Por outro lado, o professor não dispõe de tempo, incentivo e/ou disposição para buscar novos conhecimentos, metodologias ou recursos didáticos para refrescar sua prática docente. Por isso, a formação continuada apresenta-se como um potencial renovador motivacional da profissão docente; um mobilizador de novas ideias e ações que revigoram a prática do professor. E, partindo desse pressuposto, buscamos nas chamadas Metodologias Ativas de Aprendizagem, subsídios teóricos e metodológicos que melhor se encaixem nas possíveis resoluções dos problemas relacionados ao ensino de Ecologia no contexto amazônico.

Los medios fueron fermentados por 75 horas, mediante la cepa bacteriana C6M2, aislada de residuos de plazas de mercado, monitoreando la actividad enzimática, la concentración de azúcares reductores y la celulosa residual. La máxima actividad celulolítica se logró a las 56 horas de fermentación en A1 y a las 32 horas, en A2. El extracto enzimático se precipitó, dializó y ultrafiltró, obteniendo una actividad final de 9,07 ± 0,48 U/mL. Los ameros y las cáscaras de leguminosa se pueden aprovechar como sustratos en la producción de celulasas, con posibles aplicaciones en procesos donde requieran bajos grados de pureza.
Coliving: la apropiación capitalista de tipos arquitectónicos soviéticos.
Authors: Sirvent Pérez César Daniel , Luengo Angulo Miguel
Published: June 2024

The house-commune is a residential type that was created after the Revolution of 1917 with the intention of modifying the habits of the population and creating a ‘new socialist way of life’ based on collectivization. Along with this model, others coexisted (obschezhitie, transitional housing, supercollectivization) that shared as a common characteristic the existence of spaces intended for collective use, at the cost of reducing individual private space. Currently, terms such as cohousing and coliving have been coined, and the number of cooperative homes in transfer of use has grown. The article aims to show that these neologisms correspond to the phagocytation and appropriation by capitalist economies of those centuries-old Soviet types of minimal housing with shared spaces, currently used as a market product aimed at maximizing profits by reducing the surface area of the home.
La casa del mañana es un ser vivo hoy:
Authors: Minguito García Ana Patricia
Published: June 2024

“The house of tomorrow” hides a whole genealogy of mechanistic projects, developed under a perspective of energy and resource self-sufficiency. Since the mid-20th century, disciples of Buckminster Fuller and the New Alchemy Institute have been creating fully autonomous functional prototypes thanks to regenerative metabolic cycles. Today, it is essential to contextualize these mechanistic models to the demands of contemporary society. Evolving the theory of dwelling, implies adjusting the domestic space to our current need to build a reconciliation between environment and home. In order to achieve an approach towards the constitution of a self-sustainable habitable ensemble, it is crucial to demonstrate the role that architecture plays here as a mediation mechanism. It is precisely by understanding the metamorphosis undergone by the self-sufficient habitat, that the principles on which to build “the house of today and tomorrow” can be clarified.
El playground del Tercer Paisaje:
Authors: García Triviño Francisco , Sánchez Coterón Lara
Published: June 2024

This article defines a prospective playful-urban study across the following concepts: a) Third Landscape by Clement and Terrain Vague by Sola-Morales, from landscape and architecture. b) The practices of Junk Playgrounds conceptualized through play studies. c) The idea of playful animal experience from a non-speciesist perspective that comes from animal studies. With all this, a specific work proposal on the playground in unattended urban environments is conceptually defined, which joins the multispecies agenda and helps to enrich the institutional programs from which the rewilding of cities is being regulated. Finally, the article defines the potential that this proposal contains in a specific Third Landscape in the city of Alcalá de Henares, which allows the evaluation of the enunciated practice.
Descubrir el valor de lo construido.

The square and the orchards delimit the four houses in Vilanova de Meià projected by Ramon Maria Puig in a rural village in the inland of Catalonia. Rehabiting two old houses in the main square for a new community made up of four families for temporary occupation and tourism could distance the project from the context and tradition of the place. However, Puig links the public and the festive with the intimate and the quotidian through a reading of the pre-existence for a collective and contemporary use. The landscape between the Montsec mountain and the river Boix penetrates the domestic interiors, connecting different scales and gradients of living in the late seventies.

Kurangnya kesantunan bahasa pada anak dapat merugikan hubungan sosial dan kemampuan komunikasi mereka. Anak yang kurang santun dalam berbicara mungkin terlihat kasar dan tidak sopan, yang dapat membuat orang lain merasa tidak nyaman atau tersinggung. Selain itu, anak-anak yang tidak diajarkan kesantunan bahasa mungkin akan mengalami kesulitan dalam berinteraksi dengan orang lain dan membangun hubungan yang positif, baik di sekolah maupun di luar. Mereka juga mungkin kesulitan dalam menyampaikan pikiran mereka secara efektif, yang dapat memengaruhi kemampuan mereka untuk beradaptasi dengan situasi sosial yang berbeda. Oleh karena itu, penting bagi anak-anak untuk belajar dan menguasai kesantunan bahasa agar mereka dapat membina hubungan yang harmonis dan mengkomunikasikan diri dengan baik dalam berbagai konteks.
