STUDY OF AERODYNAMIC WAKE ANALYSIS OF SUV CARS FOR IMPROVING FUEL CONSUMPTION
Authors:   Aeronautical Engineering & Bannari Amman Institute of Technology, G Dr. Sivaraj
Published: October 2023

SUV cars are known to be some of the most fuel-inefficient vehicles on the road. This is due in part to their large size and shape, which create a lot of aerodynamic drag. The wake region behind an SUV car is particularly turbulent, which further increases drag. The aim of this study of aerodynamic wake analysis of SUV cars for improving fuel consumption is to identify and quantify the factors that contribute to aerodynamic drag in SUV cars, and to develop strategies for reducing drag and improving fuel economy. Identify the factors that contribute to aerodynamic drag in SUV cars. This will involve understanding the flow dynamics of the wake region behind SUV cars and identifying the key features of the wake that contribute to drag. Develop strategies for reducing the size and strength of the wake. This will involve developing methods for modifying the shape of the SUV car or the flow around it in order to reduce drag. Assess the impact of wake reduction on fuel economy. This will involve conducting wind tunnel tests or CFD simulations to determine how changes in the wake affect the overall drag of the SUV car. This study researches the streamlined wake of SUV vehicles to distinguish amazing open doors for diminishing drag. Wind tunnel tests and CFD analysis are utilized to examine the stream designs around and behind an assortment of SUV models. The outcomes show that the streamlined wake of SUV vehicles is described by two enormous vortices. These incorporate diminishing the detachment point at the back of the vehicle, streamlining the backside of the vehicle, and utilizing streamlined gadgets like spoilers and diffusers. In this comparative study we designed and developed a prototype of a conventional SUV body with square back to analyse the actual drag and wake behind the vehicle using CFD analysis and Wind Tunnel test. After performing all the tests for conventional SUV, results are documented to compare the results determined with modified body. KEYWORDS: SUV; CFD; CAD Model; Drag; Base Bleed;

Sinemada Gerçekçi Temsil Ekseninde “Nefesim Kesilene Kadar” Filmine Bir Bakış
Authors: KÖSEM İŞIK Cansu , KANDEMİR Taylan Yiğit
Published: October 2023

Sinemada gerçekliğin elçileri olarak tanımlanabilecek Siegfried Kracauer ve Andre Bazin’in gerçekçi kuramının izleri, günümüzde gerçeğin peşinde olan yönetmenlerin sinema süreçlerinde görülmektedir. Bu makale, Emine Emel Balcı’nın gerçek bir sunum yaratma çabasının bir ürünü olan Nefesin Kesilene Kadar/Until I Lose My Breath (2015) filmini Kracauer ve Bazin’ci gerçeklik ekseninde sinematografik açıdan incelemektedir. Yönetmen izleyiciyi, film boyunca Serap’ın bitmeyen hayatta kalma mücadelesinin yakın şahidi haline getirmiştir. Başka bir deyişle izleyicinin Serap ile gerçeğe tanıklık etmesinin kapılarını aralamıştır. Bu noktada karakterin içsel yolculuğu gerçeğin bir parçasıyken metropolün parçalanmış hali de bir diğer boyutunu oluşturmaktadır. Yönetmen gerçekliği biçimselliğin koridorlarından geçerek üretmektedir. Bu noktada sinemada gerçekçilik ve biçimcilik birbirine karşıt olarak değil, birbirine varlık kazandıran alanlar olarak kavranmaktadır. Balcı’nın filmde kullandığı biçimsel özellikler; alan derinliği, kamera açıları, ışık, ses vb. gerçeğe daha da fazla yaklaşmasının araçları olarak kullanılmıştır.
“Femvertising” Bir Devrim mi Yoksa Pazarlama Stratejisi mi? Sistematik Bir Analiz
Authors: ADALI Gülten
Published: October 2023

Femvertising (kadın odaklı reklamcılık), reklamlarda feminist akımın etkisiyle, kadın-erkek stereotiplerinin dışında ve toplumsal cinsiyet kalıplarının ötesinde temsiliyete ve mesajlara sahip içeriklerin yaratılmasıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı; son yıllarda popülerleşen ve çeşitli medya iletileriyle de kamuoyunda ilgi çeken feminist hareketten etkilenerek toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliği olgusunun reklam metinlerine yansıması olarak görülen “femvertising” kavramının akademik çalışmalarda bir pazarlama stratejisi olarak mı yoksa bir devrim mi olarak mı değerlendirildiğini incelemektir.

Bu araştırmada da kullanılan sistematik derleme tekniği, bir alanda benzer yöntemler ile yapılmış olan çalışmaların kapsamlı ve detaylı bir biçimde taranması; derlemeye girecek çalışmaların çeşitli seçme ölçütleri kullanılarak belirlenmesi, belirlenen çalışmaların yapılandırılmış ve kapsamlı bir kalite değerlendirmesinin ve sentezinin yapılması esasına dayanan bir araştırma yaklaşımıdır. Çalışmada ele alınan unsurların derinlemesine incelenmesinin feminizm ve reklam dikotomisinde daha nitelikli, daha orijinal ve güçlü reklam çalışmaları geliştirebilmek için araştırmacılara güncel bir yol haritası sunacağı düşünülmektedir. Femvertising konusunda akademik farkındalık yaratılması ve toplumsal cinsiyet eşitsizliğine reklamcılık perspektifinden bakılmasının sektörel ve akademik anlamda faydalı olması beklenmektedir.

Authors: KOLUAÇIK İhsan
Published: October 2023

İnançsal açıdan ya da kolektif bir kimlik olarak Türkiye’nin ötekileri arasında yer alan Aleviler Türk sinemasının başlangıcından 2000’li yıllara kadar az sayıda filmle temsil edilmişlerdir. Filmlerin çok büyük kısmı da örtük temsillerden oluşmuş ve Alevilerden ya da Alevilikten bahsedilmemiştir. 1980’li yıllarda başlayan 2000’li yıllarla birlikte etkisini daha da artıran yerel ve evrensel düzeydeki tarihsel, toplumsal ve politik gelişmelere paralel olarak hem etnik hem de dini kimliklerin, ötekilerin Türk sinemasındaki temsil sayılarındaki artışa binaen Alevilerin ve Aleviliğin de daha fazla temsil edilmeye başlandığı görülmüştür. Bu artış aynı zamanda Alevilerin ve Aleviliğin kamusal görünürlüğüne paralel olarak gelişmiştir. Toplumsal yaşam içinde kendilerini göstermeye başlayan Alevilerin farklı alanlarda olduğu gibi Türk sinemasında da daha fazla görünür olmaya başladıklarından söz etmek mümkün hale gelmiştir.

Türk sinemasında özellikle 2000 sonrası ilk filmlerini çeken yönetmenler filmlerinde toplumsal ve politik meselelere daha fazla öncelik vermişlerdir. Aleviler ya da Alevilik de toplumsal ve politik meselelerden birisidir. Bu yönetmenlerden birisi olan A. Haluk Ünal, 2011 yılında çektiği Saklı Hayatlar filmi ile 1970’lerin sonunda yaşanmış olan Çorum olayları bağlamında Alevi-Sünni ilişkilerini ve iki ailenin hikayesi üzerinden zihniyet farklarını ortaya koymaya çalışmıştır. Bu kapsamda çalışmada Alevilerin ve Aleviliğin 2000 sonrası Türk sinemasındaki temsili Foucaultçu söylem analizi çerçevesinde ele alınarak incelenecektir.

Günümüzde markalar arası rekabetin artması, markaları farklı stratejilere ve dikkat çekici kampanyalara yönlendirmiştir. Tüketicilerin dikkatini çekmek, ilgi uyandırmak ve onlarda etki yaratmak için reklam kampanyalarında kullanılan en önemli öge müziktir. Reklamlarda müzik kullanımı, tüketicileri belirli duygulara yönlendirir ve reklam ve markaya yönelik olumlu bir tutum geliştirmesine imkân sunabilmektedir. Dolayısıyla tüketici reklamı yapılan ürün/hizmete yönelik satın alma sürecine yönlenebilmektedir. Öte yandan reklamı yapılan ürün/hizmet doğru müzik ile eşleştirilmesi yıllar sonra dahi reklamın hatırlanabilir olmasına olanak sağlamaktadır. Bu bağlamda çalışma televizyon reklamlarında yer alan müzik ögeleri ve sosyal medya reklamlarında yer alan müzik ögeleri belirli kategoriler bağlamında incelenerek karşılaştırılmış ve tasvir edilmiştir. Bunun yanı sıra çalışmada nicel içerik analizi yöntemi benimsenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda televizyon reklamlarında sosyal medya reklamlarına göre daha fazla reklamda müzik unsurlarının kullanıldığı belirlenmiştir. Öte yandan televizyon reklamlarında reklamda kullanılan müziğin türüne göre pop müzik ön plandayken, sosyal medya reklamlarında ön planda yer alan müzik türünün dans/disko müzik türü olduğu saptanmıştır.

PERCEPTIONS ON NATURE THROUGH THE EPISTEMOLOGIES OF THE NORTH AND SOUTH
Authors: ABARTAL KHALID , BOUTKHIL SOUMIA
Published: October 2023

This study claims that epistemologies of the North and South hold contradictory perceptions vis-à-vis nature. Studying these perceptions is the interest of this present paper since it argues that Northern epistemologies adopt an objectifying visualization of nature compared with Southern epistemologies which hold an earthly centered and biocentric attitude regarding nature. This paper starts from the belief that nature is indispensable for the existence of Man on this planet and, hence, must be preserved for the coming generations. For epistemologies of the North, the research analyzes the work of Descartes who talked about res extensa and res cogitans, Rousseau who discussed the importance of the social contract in the organization of modern societies and Adam Smith who contributed in the development of capitalism. For epistemologies of the South, it refers to terms like pantheism which claims that God is everywhere, sumak kawsay or Pachamama which consider nature and earth as a mother that cares for her children. Utilizing the comparative approach in critiquing the two epistemologies, the research concludes that epistemologies of the South and the North must interfere and interact to learn from each other. This is very important for the development of knowledge in general and the preservation of nature in particular.

Glyceamic Modulatory Effects of a Recipe from Some Commonly Consumed Fruit Pulps in Normal and Streptozotocin-induced Diabetic Rats
Authors: Usman Hamidu
Published: October 2023

Plants continue to play an important role in the treatment and management of many diseases, including diabetes mellitus, in many developing economies. Most often, a cocktail of plant mixtures is normally used in traditional practice rather than single plant, which are believed to offer more benefits. Adansonia digitata, Hyphaene thebaica, Ziziphus spina-christi, and Ziziphus mauritiana are some of those plants that are reported to have medicinal benefits and, most importantly, anti-diabetic activity. This study evaluated the hypoglyceamic and antidiabetic activity of the aqueous extracts of the fruit pulps and a recipe combining all the fruits in experimental rats. Aqueous extracts of the different fruits and the recipe were orally administered to normoglyceamic and Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats, and their blood glucose was monitored over a period of 3 hours in the screening study. Two different doses of the recipe were also administered daily for four (4) weeks to STZ-diabetic rats to study the antidiabetic potential of the recipe. All the extracts did not significantly reduce the fasting blood glucose (FBG) of the normoglyceamic rats in the hypoglyceamic screening study. In the antidiabetic screening study, all the extracts lowered the FBG of their respective groups with percent reductions of 32%, 21%, 17%, and 46%, respectively, for Z. spina-christi, Z. mauritiana, A. digitata and H. thebaica extractives. The maximum percent reduction observed for the recipe was 25.5%. The daily administration of the recipe for four weeks also produced significant reductions that were not dose dependent. The 200 mg/kg bd. wt. dose showed a maximum reduction of 59.9%. The percentage reductions observed in the recipe-treated group were, however, lower than the percentage reductions seen in the insulin and glibenclamide-treated groups. The study confirms the antidiabetic properties of the individual fruits and the recipe, and thus confirms the traditional use of the fruits in the management of diabetes mellitus.

Authors: HM Chiwar
Published: October 2023

Breast disease is a global public health concern, and recent research suggests that fungal infections may be linked to its development and progression. This study aims to investigate the presence of fungi in formalin-fixed paraffinembedded (FFPE) breast tissue samples diagnosed with various breast diseases, including breast cancer, using histological staining techniques. The study design was a retrospective cross-sectional study that used convenience sampling to retrieve 49 breast tissue blocks diagnosed with various breast diseases from the Histopathology archive of the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, Nigeria. The samples were re-embedded with paraffin wax, sectioned, and stained using Haematoxylin and Eosin and Grocott Methanamine Silver Stain. The data collected was analyzed descriptively and using chi-square tests. Fibroadenoma was the most common diagnosis in the study (69.3%), followed by Chronic Granulomatous Mastitis (18.4%) and breast cancer (12.2%). The highest frequency of Fibroadenoma diagnosis was in the age range of 30-39, whereas the highest frequency of breast cancer diagnosis was in the age range of 20-29. The study found that fungal infections were present in breast tissue samples, and the highest percentage of positive Gomori Methenamine Silver (GMS) stain test results were found in breast disease cases with breast cancer with a significant p value of 0.0175. This study provides evidence of a potential association between fungal infections and breast diseases in North Eastern Nigeria. Further research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms underlying this association and its implications for breast cancer prevention and treatment.

Authors: Murphy Annette , Gaytan Jorge , Endres Al
Published: October 2023

Effective Talent management strategies to acquire, develop, and retain employees are essential, as 73% of business leaders in the United States identified that good human resources practices favorably affect the efficiency and effectiveness of business operations. Based on the people capability maturity model and transformational leadership theory, the purpose of this qualitative multiple case study was to explore the successful strategies that leaders of small and medium-size businesses (SMBs) used to acquire, develop, and retain employees. The case population comprised five SMBs’ leaders who had successfully used talent management strategies to acquire, develop, and retain employees for more than 5 years, and four employees who had worked with the SMBs for more than 5 years. The selected leaders participated in face-to-face semistructured interviews while the employees participated in a focus group. The data analysis process followed Yin’s five-phase analysis cycle; entailed an analysis of interview responses from individual interviews, the focus group interview, and a review of related documents. Four themes emerged from the data analysis: conducting management assessments, following recruitment and selection guidelines, empowering and enabling employees, and fostering workplace loyalty. A recommendation is that SMBs’ leaders prepare training manuals from their successful procedures for internal use and benchmarking with other SMBs. The study’s findings could contribute to positive social change by enabling leaders to improve employee development and retention for more productive employees and higher revenues to benefit society through employees becoming mentors and volunteers in local communities.

A metodologia se deu por etapas para construir o sistema piloto, a saber: cálculos para dimensionamento e construção da estrutura do sistema de pavimento drenante, dimensionamento das tubulações e camadas de recobrimento da tubulação, dimensionamento da camada reservatório dimensionamento da chuva de projeto, desenvolvimento da camada assentamento e o pavimento drenante. O tempo de retorno do sistema piloto foi superior ao dimensionado para 10 anos. Sendo assim, o sistema foi considerado adequado, podendo ser aplicado de forma satisfatória. Avaliou-se como excelente também a capacidade máxima do sistema proposto de acordo com parâmetros da American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, mesmo considerando que o sistema com tubulação de 150 mm esvaziou em menor tempo que o de 200 mm.

As questões ambientais e suas complexidades tornaram-se eminentemente necessárias no cenário mundial devido à crise socioambiental que vivemos. Onde, justamente, a população é a maior prejudicada frente a um planejamento territorial ineficiente. Logo, a organização de um banco de dados que sistematize a percepção de educadores, capacitados pelo Processo Formativo em Educação Ambiental, quanto às complexidades socioambientais e econômicas de seus territórios fornecem um norte quanto às principais demandas locais. O objetivo central deste trabalho foi identificar os principais conflitos socioambientais dos territórios onde foi ofertado o curso de Especialização em Educação Ambiental. Os dados foram coletados utilizando um questionário preenchido por cursistas, tutores e professores. Os resultados identificaram as principais demandas sociais relacionadas à ineficiência do saneamento ambiental nos territórios que, por sua vez, desencadeiam acidentes por processos naturais como as enchentes, principal item assinalado.
Interlocuções entre os estudos culturais e a decolonialidade: uma análise da experiência do curso de licenciatura intercultural indígena Teko Arandu da Universidade Federal da Grande Dourados

Published: October 2023

Fruto do trabalho de conclusão do Estágio  Pós-Doutoral do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos Culturais, da Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul do Câmpus de Aquidauana – CPAQ – este artigo, traz uma discussão sobre as aproximações da perspectiva  decolonial, frente ao Projeto Pedagógico do Curso (PPC) da Licenciatura Intercultural Indígena Teko Arandu da Universidade Federal da Grande Dourados (UFGD) implantado no ano de 2006. Para  a  produção  e  análise  dos dados, a metodologia foi estruturada a partir da concepção das pesquisas pós-críticas em  educação. O objetivo foi demonstrar a  presença do caráter   decolonial   no   PPC (2006), no que refere-se ao currículo. Para discutir aspectos do  currículo, nos apropriamos de alguns autores numa perspectiva  decolonial envolvendo a interculturalidade crítica em torno da formação de professores indígenas. Compreendemos que o PPC (2006),  trabalhou conceitos e fundamentos firmantes com seus acadêmicos que estão atuando como professores nas escolas indígenas do estado de Mato Grosso do Sul,  multiplicando o pensamento decolonial, a emancipação do pensamento eurocêntrico através do fortalecimento do vínculo, além da compreensão das profundas marcas históricas deixadas nos povos indígenas pela tentativa de apagamento de sua forma de existência. A partir da perspectiva dos Estudos Culturais evidenciamos na elaboração do PPC (2006) “olhares” outros para os professores indígenas das etnias Guarani e Kaiowá em formação, bem como problematizaram a constituição de suas identidades individuais e coletivas que decorrem da(s) filiação(ões) paradigmática(s); e da subjetividade discursiva desses sujeitos.
MODERNIZAÇÃO DA GEOMETRIA ANALÍTICA PARA O CURSO COLEGIAL NA BAHIA: IV Congresso Brasileiro do Ensino de Matemática (1962)
Authors: Barbosa Kaiza Fernandes , Lima Eliene Barbosa
Published: October 2023

Este trabalho teve como objetivo investigar historicamente a proposta de um ensino moderno de geometria analítica apresentada no IV Congresso Brasileiro do Ensino de Matemática, ocorrido na cidade de Belém, Pará, no ano de 1962. Utilizando fontes históricas do próprio Congresso e de uma breve revisão da literatura, interpretou-se que houve uma busca por uma sistematização do ideário de uma reformulação do ensino de Matemática nas escolas brasileiras, visando uma modernização do ensino de matemática por meio de uma axiomática estruturalista, tendo como sua linguagem básica a Teoria dos Conjuntos, em particular, para o ensino de Geometria Analítica.

Published: October 2023

Este artigo constitui-se a partir de ações de parte de um projeto desenvolvido pelo Núcleo de Estudos e Pesquisas em Educação Matemática (NUPEm) da Universidade Federal de Uberlândia entre 2020 e 2022. Com financiamento do Centro de Estudos das Relações de Trabalho e Desigualdades (CEERT), o objetivo foi investigar as implicações de um curso de formação de professores/as pautado no Programa da Etnomatemática e na Modelagem Matemática, em diálogo com as possibilidades de implementação da Lei 10639/03. O projeto se desenvolveu ao relacionar formação de professores/as e produção de conhecimentos com a temática racial, a partir do referencial teórico do Programa Etnomatemática de D’Ambrosio. Durante a formação os participantes elaboraram propostas e ao final do projeto culminou em uma publicação coletiva. Constatou-se, por um lado, as lacunas existentes na formação de professores/as de matemática quanto à temática racial e a Etnomatemática, e, por outro lado, que ainda é um desafio elaborar propostas didáticas no ensino de matemática buscando um diálogo transdisciplinar.

Vắc xin là chế phẩm chứa kháng nguyên được đưa vào cơ thể nhằm tạo cho cơ thể khả năng đáp ứng miễn dịch. Vì vậy việc rà soát quy trình tiêm chủng an toàn (TCAT) trong các buổi tiêm tại các trạm y tế xã, phường và một số yếu tố liên quan là vấn đề rất cần thiết và cấp bách để nâng cao chất lượng tiêm chủng. Nghiên cứu phương pháp mô tả cắt ngang có phân tích tại 15 trạm y tế các xã, phường của thành phố Yên Bái. Kết quả: 100% trạm y tế được trang bị cơ sở vật chất, trang thiết bị đảm bảo yêu cầu, tuy nhiên 93,3% trạm y tế chưa đảm bảo việc bố trí, sắp xếp buổi tiêm chủng phòng tránh lây nhiễm SARS-COV-2; 80% lượt tiêm đạt yêu cầu về thực hành quy trình TCAT, còn lại 20% lượt tiêm chưa đạt yêu cầu. Kết quả phân tích cho thấy một số yếu tố liên quan tới thực hiện TCAT như cán bộ phụ trách chương trình tiêm chủng mở rộng, trình độ y sỹ, bác sỹ. Bên cạnh đó, ekip tiêm có kiến thức chung đạt yêu cầu thì thực hiện TCAT tốt hơn so với ekip tiêm có kiến thức chung không đạt yêu cầu. Do đó, sắp xếp khung giờ tiêm để phòng tránh lây nhiễm SARS-CoV-2 và tập huấn chuyên môn về quy trình tiêm chủng của cán bộ y tế.

The aim of this study was to determine the histopathological lesions associated with Encephalitozoon cuniculi (E. cuniculi) infection in 25 New Zealand rabbits randomly selected in a laboratory animal center. Microscopic lesions were evaluated on sample slides stained with HE, Gram, and Immunohistochemistry (IHC) techniques. Mild and moderate lesions included granulomatous inflammation, meningitis, and perivascular cuffing were identified in brain samples; interstitial nephritis and renal fibrosis were identified in the kidneys of 21 out of 25 rabbits. Among the 21 rabbits, the percentage of spore identification by HE and Gram staining methods were 9.5% and 71%, respectively while IHC revealed parasite antibody in 81% of the rabbits.  Thus, laboratory New Zealand rabbits in Vietnam might be infected with high prevalence of E. cuniculi. Postmortem diagnosis with HE technique can be used for screening [i]while Gram and IHC staining can confirm the infections. The rabbit husbandry units should consider appropriate methods for infection assessment and control.

Authors: GOLHER D M , THIRUMURUGAN P , PATEL B H M , UPADHYAY V K
Published: October 2023

A study was conducted to explore the utility of different drinking water temperature, viz. ambient water temperature (10.25±0.28°C, T1), 15–20°C (T2) and 35–40°C (T3) during winter at IVRI, Mukteshwar campus on 18 crossbred (HF × Haryana) lactating cows. They were divided into 3 groups of 6 each and various parameters were studied. At open environment maximum temperature, minimum temperature and mean relative humidity were 11.81±0.45, 1.52±0.27°C and 57.43±2.79%, respectively, the corresponding values for microclimate were 16.61±0.36, 6.68±0.61°C and 86.75±0.55%. Average water intake per cow per day was significantly higher in T3 (40.66±0.55) and compared with cows in T1 (38.63±0.42) and T2 (37.53±0.47). Dry matter intake was more for cows in T3. Daily mean milk yield for the cows in T3 (7.56±0.18 litre) was significantly higher than T1 (6.95±0.16 litre) and T2 (7.06±0.17 litre). Milk SNF, protein and total solids percentages were significantly higher for cows consuming warm drinking water in T2 (15–20°C) and in T3 (35–40°C) than cows consumed ambient cool drinking water. Cows in warm drinking water groups showed relatively more gain in body weight compared to cows provided with ambient cool drinking water. It was concluded that the crossbred cows consuming warm water (35–40°C) performed better than the cows consuming comparatively cold water.
