Published: June 2024

The most plentiful energy source available to all living things on Earth is solar energy. One way to generate power from sunshine is via the Solar Tracking System. This form of electricity generating uses renewable natural resources. It just needs the most sunshine possible to produce energy. This system tracks light levels to their maximum. By tracking the sun's movement and modifying the panel's angle and orientation accordingly, the technology maximises the effectiveness of solar panels. Using a dust sensor and a nozzle to spray water on the panel when there is a greater accumulation of dust, the cleaning system is used to remove the accumulated dust from its panel surface. Furthermore, the dust sensor continuously tracks the amount of dust accumulating on the panels and, if needed, initiates an automated cleaning procedure. Wi-Fi is used to transfer the system's data through Node MCU, allowing for real-time monitoring and analysis. The suggested system improves the efficiency of solar energy collection.

Authors: Çiçek Semra
Published: June 2024

Eugenol and α-terpineol are monoterpenes that are widely used in the food, medical and agricultural sectors and intensively studied. Although the areas of use of eugenol and α-terpineol have expanded, a few reports are noteworthy showing that they have cytotoxic effects depending on dose and time. Therefore, this present study purposed to research the cytotoxic effects of eugenol and α-terpineol on the rainbow trout gonadal (RTG-2) cells depending on dose (18.75-600 µM and 3.125-100 µM, respectively) and time (24 and 48 h). According to the sulforhodamine B (SRB) test, all doses of eugenol significantly enhanced the viability of RTG-2 cells relative to the control group after 24 h of treatment. At 48 h of treatment, except for the 18.75 µM treatment, other treatments significantly increase cell viability, but these increases in viability are lower than those in the 24-hour treatment. Treatments of α-terpineol (≥12.5 μM) had a highly toxic effect on the RTG-2 cells both 24 h and 48 h of treatment. Treatments of α-terpineol (6.25 μM and 3.125 μM) non-significantly enhanced the viability of RTG-2 cells relative to the control group for 24 and 48 h, respectively. Study results suggest that dose- and time-dependent toxicity studies of α-terpineol should be expanded to the molecular level.

Cervico-facial necrotizing fasciitis

In the fall of 2022, an increased incidence of invasive group A streptococcal infections (iGAS) was seen. This growth is due to the increased spread of group A Streptococcus and viral co-infections (varicella zoster and respiratory viruses) now that the hygienic and social distancing measures due to COVID-19 are no longer in place.

Fasciitis necroticans (FN) is a form of iGAS that can present in the maxillofacial area as a bacterial superinfection due to viral pharyngitis. It presents as a rapidly progressive disease with a high morbidity that can lead to death if it is not quickly diagnosed and surgically treated. An urgent debridement of the necrotic tissue is essential. In addition, intravenous fluids and antibiotics are the cornerstones of the treatment.

Continued vigilance is crucial for an early diagnosis of this life-threatening infection in order to avoid serious complications.

Five different nitrogenous fertilizers were included: BARC recommended prilled urea at 0.5 g/pot (T1), urea super granules (USG) at 0.25g/pot (T2), neem-coated urea at 0.25g/pot (T3), urea super granules (USG) at 0.5g/pot (T4), and neem-coated urea at 0.5g/pot (T5). The experiment followed a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. Results indicated significant effects of nitrogenous fertilizer forms on wheat growth and yield characteristics. Across most parameters, the highest values were observed in T5, utilizing 0.5g of neem-coated urea per pot, including plant height (77.34 cm), number of tillers (6.14), effective tillers per pot (23.04), extrusion length (16.57), spike length (17.25), filled grains per pot (1093.43), 1000-grain weight (42.22 g), grain yield (46.39 g/pot), straw yield (77.81g/pot), and biological yield (124.20g/pot). Based on these findings, we can conclude that applying 0.5 g of neem-coated urea per pot (T5) was the most effective treatment for enhancing wheat growth and yield among the tested options.
TEACHER’S EXPERIENCE ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SPIRAL PROGRESSION APPROACH (SPA) IN TEACHING ENGLISH TO JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL: A QUALITATIVE INQUIRY
Authors: TUMALA RE-ANN M.
Published: June 2024

This qualitative inquiry explores the experiences of teachers implementing the Spiral Progression Approach (SPA) in teaching English to junior high school students. The study aims to understand the challenges educators in English subject encounter while applying SPA, a pedagogical method designed to reinforce learning by revisiting topics with increasing complexity. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with a diverse group of junior high school English teachers. Findings reveal that while teachers appreciate the SPA’s potential to enhance student retention and understanding, they face significant challenges. These include difficulties in aligning the curriculum with SPA principles, time constraints in covering the required material, and varying levels of student readiness. Despite these hurdles, teachers reported that SPA facilitates a deeper understanding of language concepts and skills over time, fostering a more holistic and integrated approach to learning English. The study concludes that successful implementation of SPA requires comprehensive professional development, adequate resources, and continuous support for teachers. By addressing these needs, educational institutions can better leverage SPA to improve English language education outcomes in junior high schools.
Reviewing the Philippines Legal Landscape of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Business: Addressing Bias, Explainability, and Algorithmic Accountability
Authors: Sacramed Michael T.
Published: June 2024

Pushing towards the almost universal adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) across the globe, the Philippines is not far behind. This tsunami has huge promise, but at the same time, under the present legal footing, it is likely to raise critical issues of ethics that have yet to be resolved. Against this background, the present paper reviews related literature on this emerging issue of AI bias, explainability, and algorithmic accountability. It comes down mainly to work done regarding bias in AI relative to the domain of recruitment and facial recognition technologies, in this case how it leads to discrimination. This asks to discuss the “black box problem” applied to nontransparent AI systems for which there is a need for the outcome to be explainable. It identifies the Data Privacy Act (DPA) of 2012 as the nearest framework that may be the firm foundation in the assurance of the right to understand AI decision-making. The other issue the article is concerned with is algorithmic accountability. Currently, guiding laws exist in the country, but these are narrow in scope and may not necessarily capture the many faces of AI behavior. In other words, the paper reviews the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as a model that can possibly find a solution for the biases. To summarize, this country needs a legal framework to overcome the challenges that have been brought about and reach an agreement on AI explainability enhancement, a clear definition of who is responsible and liable for what, and bias mitigation. The identified gaps in previous studies will form the basis for making recommendations on further research into AI bias within Philippine enterprises. All this underlines ever-necessary comparative research on the other rules concerning AI that has been put in place elsewhere. Still more importantly, it complements reasons for exporting such an idea to which the Philippines should develop an all-encompassing legal framework in demeanor to the rise of responsible and ethical research, development, and deployment of AI.

Authors: Harvey Florence
Published: June 2024

The purpose of this research was to examine how the use of concept mapping strategy affected the comprehension of photosynthesis and cellular respiration among second-year students studying elective biology at Akim Swedru Senior High School. A total of 105 students participated in the study, which spanned six weeks. Pre-test and post-tests were administered using a biology test developed by the teacher. The results indicated significant differences between the experimental group, taught using concept maps, and the control group, taught using traditional methods. This suggests that concept maps assist students in understanding the subject matter, identifying key concepts, and establishing connections between different concepts. Additionally, the study uncovered positive perceptions among students regarding the effectiveness of concept maps as a teaching approach in Biology. Consequently, it is recommended that biology teachers in other Senior High Schools incorporate concept mapping as a teaching method. Furthermore, it is suggested that this study be replicated in different regions for further validation.

Published: June 2024

Zeolites HY with different hydrophobicity having Si/Al ratios of 10, 100 and 750 were modified by an ion exchange process with nitrate solutions of alkali cations in the concentration range 0.1 - 100 mM. The modified samples were characterized by ICP-OES, XRD and surface analysis with N2-adsorption. The ethylene adsorptivities of these modified zeolites were measured under degassed and non-degassed conditions. All zeolites showed the enhancement in ethylene adsorptivity upon modification, while the K+ ions modified ones showed the best enhancement. The modified hydrophobic zeolites with Si/Al ratios of 100 and 750 showed no differences in adsorptivity under the degassed and non-degassed conditions. However, for less hydrophobic zeolite (Si/Al = 10), the adsorption under the degassed condition was much higher than the adsorption under the non-degassed condition. These results indicate that the modified hydrophobic zeolites with Si/Al ratios of 100 and 750 are suitable as ethylene scavengers at ambient conditions.
HIGHLIGHTS

Zeolites Y with different Si/Al ratios were modified by alkali nitrate solutions
The ethylene adsorptivities were measured under degassed and non-degassed conditions
Zeolites showed better ethylene adsorptivity upon modification with alkali cation

Potensi energi matahari di Indonesia cukup besar sebagai sumber energi terbarukan yang biasanya disebut panel surya atau teknologi fotovoltaik (PV) sebagai alat yang mampu mengubah radiasi matahari menjadi energi listrik. Ketika panel surya beroperasi, hanya sekitar 15% dari radiasi matahari yang dikonversi menjadi energi listrik, sedangkan sisanya dikonversi menjadi panas. Intensitas radiasi matahari dan suhu udara di sekitarnya berpengaruh pada tegangan dan arus yang dihasilkan oleh sel surya. Kondisi ini memerlukan suatu alat yang dapat mengatur keadaan suhu pada panel surya. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengatasi permasalahan panas pada panel surya melalui optimasi sifat termal fluida pendingin dengan menambahkan partikel  yang telah di uji SEM/EDS berukuran nano ke cairan dasar W/EG, yang umum disebut fluida nano (nanofluids), kemudian pembuatan serpentine channel sebagai alat penukar kalor juga turut dilakukan. Proses uji eksperimental dilakukan dengan variasi laju alir 1 hingga 3 LPM dan suhu masuk dijaga pada 35˚C. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa laju alir fluida pendingin tertinggi merupakan kondisi yang paling optimum. Bilangan Reynolds menunjukan bahwa koefisien perpindahan panas terjadi peningkatan masing-masing sebesar 1011,72 W/m◦K, 1321,72 W/m◦K, dan 2070,39 W/m◦K. Pada bilangan Nusselt cenderung meningkat seiring dengan meningkatnya bilangan Reynolds nanofluida. Peningkatan Nusselt Number mengindikasikan adanya peningkatan koefisien perpindahan panas, sedangkan Reynolds number menunjukkan aliran laminar dari pendingin. Begitu pula dengan penurunan tekanan, penurunan tekanan meningkat seiring dengan meningkatnya laju aliran.
Daily state of motivation as the effect of appreciation in a diary study
Authors: Seitl Martin , Manuoglu Elif , Hrbáčková Anna
Published: June 2024

Background

Grounded in self-determination theory, the present study aimed to investigate whether daily changes in employee motiva-tion depend on whether employees receive appreciation from various sources at work, using a 7-day diary design. Beyond general knowledge about the effects of appreciation as an important source of motivation, there is still a lack of knowledge about the intrapersonal effect of appreciation on different types of regulation/motivation in terms of self-determination the-ory over time.

Participants and procedure

The sample consisted of 104 employees in full-time employment. More than half were women (72%) and the mean age was 43.25 years (SD = 10.53). They completed trait-level measures and then daily records, in which they reported their motiva-tion and whether they received appreciation. Sources of appreciation were leaders, followers, and clients.

Results

Multilevel random coefficient modeling showed that employees reported higher levels of motivation on days when they received appreciation from different sources, independent of gender, trait-level motivation, and the Big Five. Furthermore, introjected regulation moderated the positive association between daily motivation and daily appreciation by the client, and appreciation did not have a lagged effect for subsequent days.

Conclusions

The current study has both practical and theoretical implications. The results show that employee motivation can be sup-ported through simple but effective steps through appreciation regardless of the source, although appreciation may be more important for employees with introjected regulation than for others.
Big Five personality traits, BIS/BAS dimensions and meteoropathy: a mediation model
Authors: Włodzimierz Oniszczenko
Published: June 2024

Background

The main goal of this cross-sectional study was to assess the relationship between Big Five personality traits and meteor-opathy and the role of the behavioural activation system (BAS) and the behavioural inhibition system (BIS) as mediators in this relationship.

Participants and procedure

The sample consisted of 1,336 women and men gathered via the online recruitment platform from the general population. The participants’ ages ranged from 18 to 76 years (M = 29.52, SD = 11.67). The Polish version of the Ten Item Personality Inventory was used to assess Big Five personality traits. The BIS and BAS were diagnosed using the Polish version of the original BIS/BAS scales. Meteoropathy was assessed using the Polish adaptation of the METEO-Q questionnaire.

Results

Meteoropathy correlated negatively with emotional stability and positively with the BIS level and BAS Reward Responsive-ness. BIS negatively correlated with emotional stability. The correlations between meteoropathy and other personality vari-ables were nonsignificant. The analysis indicated a significant indirect relationship between emotional stability and meteor-opathy through BIS. We demonstrated the importance of neuroticism (low emotional stability) and the BIS dimension for the development of meteoropathy symptoms.

Conclusions

Neuroticism and the BIS dimension were important for the development of meteoropathy symptoms. The results may be helpful in assessing the risk of developing meteoropathy in a healthy population.
Major aortopulmonary collateral arteries: clinical, echocardiographic, and radiologic characteristics
Authors: Suchodolski Alexander , Wielgus Karol , Strojek Mateusz , Szulik Mariola , Głowacki Jan
Published: June 2024

Purpose

Major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs) are rare congenital anomalies with significant clinical implications, often associated with congenital heart diseases like tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and pulmonary atresia (PA). This study aimed to investigate the clinical, echocardiographic, and radiologic characteristics of MAPCAs in patients with congenital heart diseases admitted to our clinic between 2016 and 2023.

Material and methods

A retrospective analysis of 46 cases was conducted using chest computed tomography exams performed on a dual-source 128-slice CT scanner. Clinical data and radiologic characteristics were collected and analysed.

Results

The study revealed a strong correlation between congenital heart diseases and the presence of MAPCAs, with TOF, PA, and ventricular septal defect (VSD) being the most common, and it indicated that these collaterals may exist with non-diagnosed congenital heart disease. Tricuspid regurgitation and aortic insufficiency were the predominant echocardiographic findings. Radiologically, MAPCAs primarily originated from the descending aorta (type II) in 85% of cases, and their sizes ranged from ≤ 3 mm to > 10 mm, with an average of 5 mm.

Conclusions

This study provides comprehensive insights into the clinical and radiologic aspects of MAPCAs in patients with congenital heart diseases. The findings emphasise the importance of early detection and intervention for better managing of these complex conditions and the need for further research.

This qualitative study investigates how teaching creative dance impacts children's self-confidence at Ibunda Kindergarten. The phenomenological method was used in this study to understand children's perceptions and experiences during the creative dance program. Participatory observation, in-depth interviews and document analysis were the methods used to collect data. The study involved 15 early childhood children from Ibunda Kindergarten. The results showed that teaching children creative dance increased their own self-confidence. Creation dance teaches social skills, working together in a group, and self-expression. They also showed increased initiative and independence. The findings confirm that arts education is an important component of the early childhood education curriculum as it can help with psychosocial development.
