Authors: GAVRONSKI JORGE DARIANO
Published: June 2023

A mineração é uma atividade fundamental para a sociedade, está na base das cadeias produtivas, fornecendo recursos minerais essenciais para as indústrias. Nos últimos anos, houve um aumento significativo da conscientização sobre os impactos ambientais e sociais relacionados à mineração. Como resultado, muitas empresas estão se esforçando para melhorar seu desempenho e aderir a regulamentações mais rigorosas.
Atualmente, observa-se uma progressiva evolução na implementação de práticas de conformidade e obtenção de certificações, com destaque nas áreas de segurança e sustentabilidade, especialmente por parte das maiores empresas de mineração.
No entanto, é importante reconhecer que o histórico de impactos ambientais e acidentes causados pela falta de conformidade de algumas organizações tem gerado desconfiança da sociedade em relação à mineração como um todo.
Os gerentes das minas têm uma grande responsabilidade em garantir a segurança dos trabalhadores, a qualidade dos produtos e o cumprimento das regulamentações. Eles enfrentam situações complexas e tomam decisões sob pressão, o que requer habilidades e conhecimentos específicos, especialmente em relação a questões sociais, ambientais e de segurança.
Além disso, o domínio e uso de tecnologias modernas desempenham um papel importante e podem ajudar a controlar os impactos ambientais, bem como a melhorar a segurança das operações.
O autor deste livro tem experiência profissional em empresas de mineração e é professor universitário, o que lhe permite combinar conhecimento prático e pesquisa bibliográfica para oferecer uma abordagem abrangente sobre segurança na mineração. O livro é dividido em 14 capítulos que abordam desde a história da mineração até as metodologias e práticas de gestão de riscos, culminando com informações práticas sobre planos de emergência e resgate de mineiros.
O objetivo desta nova edição ampliada do livro "Fundamentos de Segurança em Mineração" é contribuir para a melhoria do ambiente na mineração, fornecendo orientações e informações para os gestores, visando promover uma mineração mais segura, com menor risco para os trabalhadores e a sociedade em geral.

Authors: Bamidele EF , Amaike C , Taiwo AA , Egejuru JC , Wali GO , Ukpai CU , Olayinka TO
Published: June 2023

Background: Health-seeking behaviour is defined as the behaviour of people who malfunction or feel sick to find a suitable treatment. One of the critical factors influencing health-seeking behaviour is the satisfaction obtained from healthcare services, which is often linked to the quality of the service received.
Objective: To assess university students' health-seeking behaviour and perception of healthcare services provided at the Babcock University Teaching Hospital, Ilishan-Remo, Nigeria.
Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study of 425 undergraduate students of Babcock University was conducted using a validated structured questionnaire. The socio-demographic characteristics, health-seeking behaviour and perception of available services were analysed using descriptive statistics.
Results: About half of the respondents (50.6%) had poor health-seeking behaviour, and most (68.5%) had a positive perception of the healthcare services rendered by the institution’s healthcare facility. Some factors that affected healthcare-seeking behaviour included the non-availability of medications (37.2%), the attitude of healthcare workers (32.5%), and the cost of care (13.6%).
Conclusion: The study demonstrated good health-seeking behaviour and a positive perception of the available healthcare services. However, the factors associated with poor health-seeking behaviour included unavailable medications and the poor attitude of healthcare workers. Regular appraisal and pharmacy restocking should be done to ensure an up-to-date supply of commonly prescribed medications.

Authors: Osalusi BS , Ogunjimi LO , Akinyinka A , Aderinola A , Olusola-Bello M , Oboh D
Published: June 2023

Background: There is growing evidence that inflammation plays a specific role in the pathogenesis of epilepsy and seizures also induce inflammation. The Neutrophil/Lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an emerging inflammatory biomarker of epilepsy.
Objectives: To determine the association between epilepsy and Neutrophil /Lymphocyte Ratio among adults.
Methods: Adults with epilepsies the attending outpatient neurology clinics at two Nigerian tertiary health facilities, were recruited. One hundred cases and one hundred age-matched, healthy controls were recruited. The total white blood cell (WBC) and its differential counts were extracted from Full Blood Count (FBC) results and NLR was calculated. The predictors of the association between WBC parameters and epilepsy were established using a linear regression model derived from WBC parameters associated with epilepsy.
Results: Out of 100 cases and controls, there was no gender-related statistical difference between the cases and controls (p = 0.777). There was no difference between the mean ages of cases and control (p = 0.058). The total mean white blood cell count among the cases was 8.80±9.84×109 cells/L compared to was 6.30±1.90 ×109 cells/L in the controls, (p = 0.013). The mean neutrophil count in the cases was 59.00±17.89 ×109 cells/L compared to 49.50±15.44 ×109 cells/L among the controls (p < 0.001). The mean NLR for the cases was 4.24±10.44 compared to 1.84±2.26 in the controls (p = 0.026). The Neutrophil/Lymphocyte Ratio (p = 0.013) and Basophil (p < 0.001) predicted epilepsy on linear regression analysis.
Conclusion: This study shows a clear difference in the TWBC and NLR with between adults with epilepsies and health controls.

Published: June 2023

Background: Effective treatment intervention for uterine leiomyoma is essential to prevent morbidities and associated potential mortalities.
Objective: To determine the prevalence, clinical presentation of uterine leiomyoma and the outcome of surgical management options at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria.
Methods: This was a descriptive retrospective study of cases of uterine leiomyoma from 01 January 2012 to 31 December 2016. The medical records of all patients with the diagnosis of leiomyoma were retrieved. Information was obtained on socio-demographics, clinical presentation, types of surgical treatment and associated postoperative complications.
Results: Three hundred and thirty-five cases of leiomyoma were managed out of 1835 major gynaecological cases giving a period prevalence of 18.3%. However, only 134 case folders were available for analysis. The mean age of the women was 38.5±6.7 years. Only 21 (15.7%) cases presented within a year of the onset of symptoms. The surgical interventions used included myomectomy and hysterectomy but the former was the commonest with a frequency of 73.4%. There were no significant differences in the prevalence of postoperative complications between patients who had myomectomy and hysterectomy (p>0.05 in each case).
Conclusion: Uterine leiomyoma is a common gynaecological condition. There is a need to create awareness of the need to present early to the hospital so that less invasive treatment options can be explored.

Küşâcim’in Şiirlerinde Dönemin Sosyal Hayatına Dair İzler
Authors: ÖZEL Harun
Published: June 2023

Abbâsîler döneminde kentleşmeyle birlikte pek çok câhilî özelliklerini kaybeden bedevî Araplar içki ve eğlencelere dalmışlardır. Yabancı unsurların özellikle de Abbâsî devletinin kurulmasında emeği geçen İranlıların günlük yaşantıda büyük tesiri olmuş ve bu tesir yemekler, içecekler, ev eşyası gibi hususlarda kendini göstermiş, satranç, tavla ve polo gibi oyunlar yaygınlaşmıştır. Bazı şairler çevrelerinde meydana gelen bu olayları, farklı hayal unsurları ve imgelerle tasavvur etmişler, bu tasavvurları şiirlerinde başarılı bir biçimde kullanmışlardır. Bu şairlerin başında Abbâsîler döneminin en meşhur edebiyatçıları arasında gösterilen Küşâcim (ö. 358/969[?]) gelmektedir. Küşâcim, mediḥ, hiciv ve mers̠iye gibi klasik şiir temalarının yanı sıra tasvir şiirleriyle dikkat çekmektedir. Abbâsî toplumunun birçok âdetini, yaşayışını, oyunlarını usta bir şekilde şiirlerinde yansıtmıştır. Bu alanda söylediği şiirlerinin kalitesinden dolayı zamanının reyḥânetu’l-edeb’i diye isimlendirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada Küşâcim’in hayatı ve edebî kişiliği hakkında kısa bilgi verildikten sonra gündelik hayata dair pek çok görüntüleri barındırdığı düşünülen şiirlerinden örnekler sunulmaya çalışılmıştır. Şiir örnekleri; Yiyecekler, Meslekler, Eğlence Hayatı, İlim Meclisleri, Bayram Kutlamaları, Hediyeleşme ve Matem olmak üzere toplam yedi başlık altında incelenmiştir.
Kudâme b. Ca‘fer’in Şiir Tenkidine Yapılan Eleştirilerin Değerlendirilmesi: Yunan Felsesefesi ve Mantık İlminden Etkilenmesi Örneği
Authors: KAPLANGÖZ Zahit
Published: June 2023

Mantık, felsefe, kamu yönetimi ve edebiyat alanında eserleri bulunan Abbâsîler dönemi meşhur kâtiplerinden Kudâme b. Ca‘fer (ö. 337/948 [?]), Nakdü’ş-ş‘ir adlı eseriyle şiirin iyisinden kötüsünü ayırt etmeyi amaçlamış ve bunun için bazı ölçütler koymuştur. Bu ölçütleri açıklarken mantık ilmine ait ıstılahlara ve Yunan filozofların görüşlerine de yer vermiştir. Bu itibarla son dönem dil alimlerinden Ömer Ferruh (ö. 1987), Bedevî Tabâne (ö. 2000) ve İhsan Abbas (ö. 2003) onun, şiiri değerlendirirken Yunan felsefesi ve mantığından etkilendiğini ve mantık ilminin usulüne göre ölçütler belirlediğini iddia edip, şiirin duyguya hitap eden yönünü sınırlamaya çalıştığı için onu eleştirmişlerdir. Eseriyle Arap şiiri tenkidinin gelişmesinde büyük bir rolü olan Kudâme b. Cafer’in bu şekilde eleştirilmesi, üzerinde araştırma yapılmayı hak eden bir durumdur. Bu makaledeki temel amaç Kudâme b. Cafer’e yöneltilen eleştirilerin değerini ortaya çıkarmaktır. Bu itibarla yapılan eleştiriler belirli başlıklar altında toplanarak eleştirinin mahiyeti belirlenmiş, sonrasında Kudâme b. Cafer’in eleştiriye konu olan görüşlerine yer verilmiştir. Ancak eleştirinin değerlendirilmesini doğru bir şekilde yapabilmek için Kudâme b. Cafer’in diğer görüşlerine de yer verilmiş böylece onun konuya dair görüşleri tam olarak tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Ayrıca Kudâme b. Cafer öncesi şiir eleştirisindeki durumun geldiği seviye hakkında bilgiler verilmiştir. Böylece onun şiir tenkidinde kendisinden öncekilerden nasıl etkilendiği de anlaşılmıştır. Çalışmada Kudâme b. Ca‘fer’e yöneltilen eleştirilerin zayıf, konuyu ihata etmeyen sınırlı sayıdaki örnekler neticesinde meydana geldiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
Tasavvufun Gâye ve Yöntemini Belirleyen Bir Kavram Olarak Ezeliyet: Cüneyd-i Bağdâdî’de İnsanın Ezelîliği Düşüncesi
Authors: KARACAN Melek
Published: June 2023

İslâm düşünce geleneğinde daima ikmâl edici ve kuşatıcı bir misyonla faaliyet gösteren tasavvuf, âlem ile Allah irtibatını, diğer disiplinlerden farklı bir gâye ve farklı bir yöntemle izah etmektedir. İslâmî gelenekte tedâvül eden hemen her tasavvur ve tasdik için de daha geniş ve derin anlamlar teklif eden sûfîlerin dayandıkları bazı üst ilkeler vardır. Bunlardan biri de insanın âlemin herhangi bir ferdi olarak değil, Allah’ın husûsî bir kurgusu olarak var olduğu inancına kaynaklık eden “ezeliyet” kavramı veya ruhun ezelîliği düşüncesidir. Ezeliyet kavramını normatif geleneğin hassasiyetlerinden uzak ama yine de Ehl-i sünnet anlayışına muvâfık bir tarzda yorumlayan sûfîler, kavrama tasavvufun hemen hemen bütün meselelerini taşıyabilecek bir kapasite tanımışlardır. Husûsen tasavvuf tarihinin inşa edici simalarından Cüneyd-i Bağdâdî (ö. 297/909), insan ve Allah arasındaki irtibatın boyutlarını “ruh” üzerinden ele alarak beşerî vücûdda ilahi bir unsur olan ruha yönelmeyi düşünce sisteminin merkezi haline getirmiştir. Bu konudaki mülahazalarıyla “Allah insanın nesi olur?” veya “İnsan nerelidir?” gibi çok temel iki soruya cevap arayan Cüneyd, bir şekilde “ruhun ezeliyeti” düşüncesine ulaşmıştır. Öyle ki bu konu hakkında öne sürdüğü fikirler, Cüneyd ile birlikte tasavvuf ilminin gâyesinin “ezeliyete vuslat”, yönteminin ise “ezelî ahde vefâ” olarak güncellendiğini söylememizi mümkün kılmaktadır. Cüneyd’in tevhîd anlatılarının ana temasını oluşturan “mîsâk” olgusu ile tevhîdin usûlü olarak takdîm ettiği “fenâ” tecrübesi bu noktada Cüneyd’in ezeliyet düşüncesini kavramak bakımından büyük önem arz etmektedir. Bu makale, mîsâk ve fenâ gibi kavramsal referanslardan hareketle, taşıyıcı bir kavram olarak ezeliyetin, Cüneyd’in düşünce sistemindeki yerini ve etkinliğini ortaya koymayı, aynı zamanda kavramın tasavvuf ilminin gâyesi ve yönteminin belirlenmesine nasıl kaynaklık ettiğini açığa kavuşturmayı amaçlamaktadır.
Antik Mısır’da Tanrı ve Ölüm Tasavvurları

Published: June 2023

Günümüzde mensubu bulunsun ya da bulunmasın, yeryüzünde yaşamış olan her din kendine inananlar tarafından doğaüstü ve emsalsiz olarak algılanmıştır. Dinler, içlerinde kendilerinden bazen korkular bazense merhametine mazhar olabilmek adına çeşitli ritüellerle yaklaşılan mabut ya da mabutlar içerebilmiştir. Antik Mısırlılar, günümüzde mensubu bulunmamasına rağmen ortaya koydukları tanrı ve ölüm inancıyla nevi şahsına münhasır diyebileceğimiz, tamamen Mısırlılara mahsus bir dini sistem vücuda getirmiştir. Bu dinin merkez noktasını oluşturan tanrılar ve öte dünya tasvirleri ise gerek hiyeroglif metinlerinde gerekse mezar süslemelerinde kendilerine oldukça önemli bir zemin bulmuştur. Çalışmamızda tarihi süreç içerisinde değişen Mısır’da, öz nitelikleriyle değişmeyen iki unsur olan tanrı ve ölüm inancına Mısırlıların ne şekilde baktığı ele alınmıştır. Tanrı inancını oluşturan temel faktörler, bu inancın bir panteona dönüşme süreci, ölümün Mısırlı bireyde neler çağrıştırdığı ve bunun sonucunda ortaya çıkan öte dünya telakkileri irdelenmiştir. Sonuç olarak Mısır dininin diğer pek çok dine kıyasla tanrı ve ölüm kavramlarını neden daha fazla ön plana çıkardığı ele alınmış ve bu iki kavramın Mısırlıların dünyayı algılayış biçimine, dine ve ölüm sonrasına bakışına etkisinin nasıl olduğu tartışılmıştır.

Published: June 2023

The effect of vibration (50 Hz) on the formation of aluminum castings of 99.5% purity at various cooling rates was studied. It was found that the presence of vibration leads to an increase in the cooling rate of the castings. It was found that the higher the speed without vibration, the stronger the effect of increasing the speed when vibration was applied. Apparently, this effect is associated with additional mixing of the melt by free-floating crystals.

The application of Profit Equalization as an effort to mitigate the risk of returns on Islamic financial institutions, especially Islamic banking is still being a question for practitioners and academics, some groups support and some groups criticize, so this research aims to examine the application of the Profit Equalization Reserve (PER) as an effort to mitigate the risk of returns in Islamic banking perspective of third main principle,  namely الْمَشَقَّةُ تَجْلِبُ التَّيْسِيْرِ, Method in this study is a qualitative method with secondary data processing taken from literatures which related to PER management. This research shows that the risk of returns is masyaqqoh al 'azimmah, which is a serious difficulty and can affect the continuity of the Islamic banks activities. So, rukhshoh is needed which in this problem is the application of income smoothing without mitigation or with mitigation (PER), PER in this case is Takhfif Taqdim which is, risk mitigation efforts before they arise. The result of this research is that PER application is permissible and legitimate as long as it does not violate the Shari'a and Islamic economic principles, meaning that all of reports and information must be conveyed clearly to customers so as to avoid gharar elements.
MARKET STRUCTURE IN ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE: A CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF THE TERMS PERFECT AND IMPERFECT COMPETITION
Authors: Ninglasari Sri Yayu , Himmawan M. Fikri , Rosyidi Luthfi Nur , Asyiah Aas Nur
Published: June 2023

The purpose of this study is to examine the terms "perfect" and "imperfect" competition in the market structure from an Islamic economic perspective. This study employed a qualitative approach to library research as its methodology. The results of the literature review indicate that the structure of perfect competition has a close relationship with the Islamic market concept. This proximity is reflected in the price, which is determined according to the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad by supply and demand. In addition, it is believed that perfect market competition is a market structure that can benefit both consumers and producers. Moreover, elements of imperfect competition that can oppress consumers, such as monopolies, oligopolies, and monopolistic practices, must be avoided. In Islamic economics, however, there is no concept of competition because it is synonymous with war, fighting, and dumping, so the term "competition" in the concept of market structure is inappropriate. For this reason, a new concept is required, namely the ta'awun market, in which the market in Islamic economics should be a place and a means of mutual assistance.Keywords: Market structure, Islamic perspective, perfect competition, imperfect competition

However, there is a decline in the distribution of MultiManfaat (multi-merits) financing at BTN Syariah in the past year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, to find out the adjustments in the marketing of financing products, an evaluation of the marketing strategy is needed. The formulation of alternative marketing strategies through analysis of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (SWOT) can be used as a formulation tool in formulating corporate strategies, starting by identifying internal and external environmental factors. Furthermore, the IFAS and EFAS matrices were compiled which became the basis for the preparation of the SWOT matrix and IE matrix so that the distribution of MultiManfaat IB financing products can immediately meet the target, and become a successful consumer financing product demanded by BTN Syariah customers. The results of the present study state that the condition of BTN Syariah KC Bekasi is in the Grow and Build positions. Keyword: Evaluation, IFAS & EFAS, Marketing Strategy
Verbal Governing Compounds with an Accusative-Marked First Member of the Type agnim-indhá-: From Vedic to Pāṇini
Authors: Catt Adam Alvah
Published: June 2023

The verbal governing compound type agnim-indhá- ‘kindling the fire’, with an accusative-marked first member and a second member built to the present stem with the suffix -á-, is attested since the Vedic period and continues to enjoy a certain degree of productivity in later periods. In addition to this type, there are also related verbal governing compounds in Vedic and later Sanskrit of the type khajaṃ-kará- ‘making a battle-din’, in which the second member is not built to the present stem. After overviewing the early Vedic evidence for these types, we will examine Pāṇini’s approach in deriving these compounds. Pāṇini generally derives such compounds built to a present stem with the sārvadhātuka affix KHaŚ and those which show some discrepancy with the present stem with the affix KHaC. The motivation for introducing these affixes is clear in the majority of cases but there remain some forms within the group of KHaC-derivatives for which Pāṇini’s choice of KHaC over KHaŚ is not completely clear. Importantly, some sūtras within the KHaC group explicitly provide for the derivation of names (sañjñā), suggesting that a link with the present stem may have been less intuitive in such cases.
Phonographic Characters in the Biography of Xuanzang by Hui Li
The Declension of puruṣa (bùlùshā 布路沙)
Authors: Pette Chiara
Published: June 2023

The article discusses an interesting case of the use of Chinese characters as phonographic devices: the Sanskrit declension of puruṣa (bùlùshā 布路沙) ‘man’ as transcribed by the Chinese monk Hui Li in his Biography of Xuanzang. In particular, the analysis will focus on two aspects: the way Hui Li renders the different Sanskrit nominal endings; the evaluation of the general accuracy of these transcriptions. For the latter point, I will take as reference the phonetic reconstructions of Chinese characters proposed by Pulleyblank (1991) and Baxter - Sagart (2014).

Authors: Ortega-Quevedo Vanessa , Gil Puente Cristina , Vallés Rapp Cristina
Published: June 2023

This research aims to contribute to the development of critical thinking skills and concepts of the nature of science and technology through joint work based on primary school curriculum content (energy). It has a mixed design in methodological terms, applying a variety of techniques such as surveys, interviews, participant observation and documentary analysis. The total sample of participants is 130 students aged 11-12 from five different schools. The results of the study show improvements in the concepts of the nature of science and technology (dependence on the use of new technologies and control of technological development by individuals), as well as in critical thinking skills (thinking as hypothesis testing and argument analysis), among participants. For example, there is a perceived increase of 0.34 (2-point scale) in the mean between the initial and final assessment of dependence on the use of new technologies This leads us to conclude that the teaching design implemented is effective for improvement in both areas.
Non-Muslim Minorities in the Modern Afghanistan’s Economy
Authors: Bonotto Riccardo
Published: June 2023

The territory of what will become modern Afghanistan has for centuries been the center of a vast, economically interconnected geographical area. This area includes, besides Afghanistan, the northern regions of India, Persia and the Uzbek khanates of Central Asia. It represented a market for economic trade in which valuable products from India found buyers in the courts and bazaars of neighboring territories. Mainly, two components of the Afghan society made this system work: Pashtun nomads and non-Muslim minorities. The first ones carried out the logistical work that allowed the goods to reach the various bazaars of the region where they are sold. The second ones (non-Muslim minorities) on the other hand, had many functions: intermediaries, bankers and traders. In this paper I will present the socio-economic context of modern Afghanistan, in which non-Muslim minorities have played a key role in allowing the country to remain connected to the trans-regional trade network that was part of northern India. The aim of my paper is to present the history of non-Muslim minorities in Afghanistan through a description of their socio-economic position and to highlight their fundamental role in the economy of the Afghanistan kingdom. In particular, I will try to frame their role in the trans-national and more general context of global trade that affects not only the territories already mentioned but also the Ottoman Empire and the Mediterranean sea.
Calculating Production Rate of each Branch of a Multilateral Well Using Multi-Segment Well Model: Field Example
Authors: Al-Jawad Mohammed S. , Abdulrazaq Muhel Abdulwahab
Published: June 2023

Multilateral wells require a sophisticated type of well model to be applied in reservoir simulators to represent them. The model must be able to determine the flow rate of each fluid and the pressure throughout the well. The production rate calculations are very important because they give an indication about some main issues associated with multi-lateral wells such as one branch may produce water or gas before others, no production rate from one branch, and selecting the best location of a new branch for development process easily.                                                                                                        This paper states the way to calculate production rate of each branch of a multilateral well-using multi-segment well model. The pressure behaviour of each branch is simulated dependent on knowing its production rate. This model has divided a multi-lateral well into an arbitrary number of segments depending on the required degree of accuracy and run time of the simulator.                        The model implemented on a field example (multi-lateral well HF-65ML) in Halfaya Oil Field/Mishrif formation. The production rate and pressure behaviour of each branch are simulated during the producing interval of the multilateral well. The conclusion is that production rate of the main branch is slightly larger than a lateral branch.

L1 adaptive controller has proven to provide fast adaptation with guaranteed transients in a large variety of systems. It is commonly used for controlling systems with uncertain time-varying unknown parameters. The effectiveness of  L1 adaptive controller for position control of single axis has been examined and compared with Model Reference Adaptive Controller (MRAC). The Linear servo motor is one of the main constituting elements of the x-y table which is mostly used in automation application. It is characterized by time-varying friction and disturbance.

    The tracking and steady state performances of both controllers have been assessed for two different types of input signals ramp and step inputs. The simulated results based on MATLAB (2012a) package showed that L1 adaptive controller could outperform MRAC in terms of robustness and tracking.

Roads and railways, as the main parts of traffic infrastructure, represent geometrically rigid elements which are hard to adapt to certain kinds of landscapes without making large changes to the terrain itself. Today, thanks to modern technology and a large number of software tools, it is possible to define new geometric curves which are easily adaptable for use as transition curves when designing roads or railways. These transition curves can be formed in such a way to make them fit in with the surrounding landscape or urban environment better, which can improve the aesthetics of the transport system. Furthermore, transition curves provide a smooth and gradual change of curvature, reducing the risk of sudden curvature changes, which can cause discomfort to passengers and create an unsafe situation, such as a loss of vehicle control or a train derailment. Accordingly, in this paper, we define the parameters for generating Hügelschäffer curves as new transition curves between two circular road segments.

Published: June 2023

There are scarcely any scales to measure the “bright” and “dark” sides of teaching interpersonal style. Thus, this study aimed to validate the Teachers’ Interpersonal Style Questionnaire in Physical Education (TISQ-PE) from a multidimensional perspective. 654 primary and secondary education students participated (Mage=11.96±1.95; 337 girls). A confirmatory factorial analysis showed that the scale had an adequate factorial validity with six correlated main factors (autonomy-support, competence-support, relatedness-support, autonomy-thwarting, competence-thwarting, and relatedness-thwarting). Furthermore, the TISQ-PE confirmed adequate discriminant and nomological validity, and showed invariance by sex and educational stage. Lastly, all factors showed acceptable internal consistency values. Therefore, the TISQ-PE has been shown to be a valid and reliable instrument to assess students' perceptions of their teachers’ interpersonal style in PE class.
DPF1 is a differentially expressed gene in brain metastatic human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: June 2023

Metastasis to the brain occurs in a significant fraction of patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published RNA-sequencing and microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that double PHD fingers 1, encoded by DPF1, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. DPF1 mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Expression of DPF1 in primary tumors was correlated with patient recurrence-free survival. Modulation of DPF1 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

Published: June 2023

The purpose of this longitudinal study was to investigate how optimistic predictions, hopelessness, and depressive symptoms changed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the causal relationships between these variables. To achieve this purpose, we used data from online surveys conducted in 2019 and 2021 among men and women aged 20¬–79. Based on item response theory, we developed a future prediction task for the assessment of optimistic predictions. Our comparison of online survey responses found a decline in optimistic predictions before and after the pandemic. More specifically, there were no change in predictions of negative future events, but there was the decrease in predictions of positive future events. Furthermore, we found that those who were more stressed by COVID-19 were less likely to have an optimistic view of the near future. We also found a relationship between optimistic predictions and hopelessness and depressive symptoms with lower optimism predicting more hopelessness and more depression predicting lower optimism. To prevent feelings of hopelessness, it is important to help people develop positive expectations about the future.
The child the apple eats: processing of argument structure in Mandarin verb-final sentences

Published: June 2023

Mandarin Chinese is typologically unusual among the world’s languages in having flexible word order despite a near absence of inflectional morphology. These features of Mandarin challenge conventional linguistic notions such as subject and object and the divide between syntax and semantics. In the present study, we tested monolingual processing of argument structure in Mandarin verb-final sentences, where word order alone is not a reliable cue. We collected participants’ responses to a forced agent-assignment task while measuring their electroencephalography data to capture real-time processing throughout each sentence. We found that sentence interpretation was not informed by word order in the absence of other cues, and while the coverbs BA and BEI were strong signals for agent selection, comprehension was a result of multiple cues. These results challenge previous reports of a linear ranking of cue strength. Event-related potentials showed that BA and BEI impacted participants’ processing even before the verb was read and that role reversal anomalies elicited an N400 effect without a subsequent semantic P600. This study demonstrates that Mandarin sentence comprehension requires online interaction among cues in a language-specific manner, consistent with models that predict crosslinguistic differences in core sentence processing mechanisms.

Published: June 2023

The study aims to incorporate solid wastes in the brick where cement is the binding agent and perform the comparative analysis of mechanical properties (compressive strength, density, and water absorption). Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), and Construction and Demolition waste are the wastes that partially replace sand in the mixture of cement and sand. The compressive strength, water absorption, and dry density of the waste-incorporated bricks are determined which are compared with all parameters of the traditional bricks. The brick with 2% PET showed the best compressive strength of 13.515 MPa. While determining the carbon emissions of composite bricks it showed 0.6 to 0.9 kg CO2 had been generated from the raw material extraction and processing phase, however, the production phase involved no carbon emission because the process was manual and involved no heating or firing. The composite bricks have the potential to be used as structural elements, however, the composite bricks require further study for the optimization of binder content with respect to cost, compressive strength, and carbon emission.
Spectral Estimation of Electroencephalogram Signal using ARMAX Model and Particle Swarm Optimization
Authors: Gautam Bijaya
Published: June 2023

Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal is short-length time series data. Parametric and non-parametric methods are used to estimate the power spectral density (PSD) of the time series data. While the non-parametric approach of spectrum estimate of short-length data is unreliable, the parametric approach of spectrum estimate is widely suggested. In the presented work, a parametric autoregressive moving average with exogenous input (ARMAX) model was implemented to find the PSD of the EEG signal. The performance of the implemented ARMAX model was contrasted with other parametric methods like autoregressive AR) and autoregressive moving average (ARMA) and nonparametric methods like periodogram.
Coefficients of ARMAX and (ARMA) were estimated using the particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique based on swarm intelligence. The PSO algorithm adapted with the system identification technique and statistics yielded highly satisfactory results in finding the coefficients of the ARMAX model. All the programming and visualization were performed in a MATLAB environment.
Computational and Experimental Analysis of Conical Draft Tube's Effect on Conical Basin of Gravitational Water Vortex Turbine
Authors: Acharya Bishal , Chaulagain Raj Kumar
Published: June 2023

This paper presents an insight into the performance of the Gravitational Water Vortex Turbine (GWVT), a type of Ultra-Low Head (ULH) turbine, with and without the implementation of draft tube. Till date, no attention has been given on the effect of draft tube on GWVT. A model of GWVT along with a conical basin is developed on CATIA v5, and then subjected to a series of computational studies on ANSYS 2020R2. A similar setup is constructed in which a straight divergent draft tube is installed at the exit of the conical basin. The numerical approach suggested that maximum efficiency of the setup in the former case was 72.0% at 53 RPM whereas the efficiency in the latter case was 79.0% at 65 RPM. The increase in the efficiency was calculated to be 9.72%. This conclusion was validated through experimental verification conducted at Himalaya College of Engineering, Chyasal on a pre-fabricated test-rig of capacity 480 L, where the maximum efficiency of 69.4% and 64.5% were obtained with and without the installation of the draft tube respectively. Consequently, an increase of 7.59% in the efficiency of GWVT as an effect of draft tube was observed experimentally. It can be concluded that draft tube plays a vital role in the efficiency of the Gravitational Water Vortex Turbine.
