Published: August 2023

The study was conducted to determine which domain in servant leadership best influences elementary teachers’ social and emotional competencies in Asuncion District, Santo Tomas, Davao del Norte, Philippines. The research employed the Quantitative Non-Experimental Design using Causal Effect to determine the domain that best influences elementary teachers’ social and social competencies. Additionally, Mean, Pearson-r, and Multiple Regression Analysis were the statistical tools used in this study. Moreover, servant leadership is high, meaning it is observed often. According to the findings of the study, there are no domains in servant leadership that influence the social and emotional competence of the teacher-respondents. This study provides educational leaders with the realization that the effectiveness of the school is highly dependent on the leadership of the school heads. The study recommended observing open-minded leadership for a better relationship with one’s substituent. Additionally, school heads can show how work is done rather than command how it can be done. In return, teachers would be competent enough to handle their emotions while doing their respective jobs for curricular and extra-curricular activities. Furthermore, Further investigation into additional areas that significantly impact teachers’ social and emotional competence may be done as part of the study. Additionally, replication of this study is encouraged in order to confirm and test the findings in different settings.

Published: August 2023

Computer statistical modeling plays a huge role in medicine for making an accurate diagnosis and, on its basis, choosing the right method of treatment, predicting the outcome of the disease, and evaluating the effectiveness of the chosen treatment tactics. Computer-statistical modeling of the course of the disease on the example of oncology, carried out by the author on the basis of a scientific-statistical SSP package adapted to medical data (rewritten in the Turbo Basic programming language), included all the main elements of computer statistical data processing underlying computer statistical modeling with regard to communication, based on the creation of computer-aided medical-statistical models of the disease, to actively participate in the effective treatment of patients in clinical practice. Effective participation in the treatment of cancer patients was carried out through the implementation of the developed computer-statistical models of the tactics of individual planning of the examination of the patient, individualized prognosis of the course of the disease, which determine the possibility of an individual approach to observation and postoperative treatment of the patient. The paper presents the results of computer-statistical data processing using the SSP scientific-statistical software package, which became the basis of the development of a computer-statistical model of accurate interpolation prediction of the timing of the appearance of metastases in cancer patients after surgical treatment, and of evaluation of the effectiveness of preventive treatment for the appearance of metastases after surgery.

Published: August 2023

This study performed a mechanical stability analysis for the impact of axial pressure on an Ultra X external unilateral fixation device applied to a tibia with an open fracture. The real construction of the fixation device was used to create a 3D geometric model using a Finite Element Method (FEM) model, which was made to perform structural analysis in the CATIA V5 (Computer Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application) CAD/CAE system. Specific stresses and displacements were observed at points of interest using structural analysis. The focus was on the relative displacements of the proximal and distal bone segments in the fracture zone. These displacements were used to calculate the stiffnesses of the bone in the fracture zone and the fixation device itself. The results obtained provide the necessary information regarding the stability of the Ultra X fixation device.
Synthesis and Electrical Behavior of Sodium Doped Monoclinic SrSiO3
Authors: Najim Mohd
Published: August 2023

The operating temperature of solid oxide fuel cells, oxygen division membranes, and oxygen sensors is determined by oxide-ion electrolytes. There is a strong incentive to reduce the operating temperature in solid oxide fuel cells, from 800°C to 500°C. The use of low-cost Na+ instead of K+ as dopant in monoclinic SrSiO3 offers a wider solid solution range (0.1<x< 0.5) in Sr1-xNaxSiO3-δ and obtains an oxide ion conductivity of 10-2 Scm-1 at 600°C, reducing the temperature of a smooth transition to full impairment of mobile oxide ions. For electrochemical characterization, the flat surfaces of the pellets were pasted with silver (Ag) paste and then sintered at 1200°C for 24 hours. The production of the Na2Si2O5 phase was observed for most compositions due to thermal treatment. Crystallization of Na2Si2O5 from glass was obtained in single-step calcination at 850°C after synthesis in an acetone medium, resulting in the highest conductivity. Although double calcination reduced conductivity, it improved thermal stability. Due to its low activation energy and lack of crystallization of other silicates, this material showed maximum conductivity after long-standing maturity at 600°C. Ethanol was used in place of acetone for powder assimilation and double calcination was also performed.
Economic Earthquake Resistance Construction of High-Rise Buildings
Authors: Ranjan Raushan , Kumar Ajay
Published: August 2023

The economic perception of earthquake resistance construction for medium- to high-rise RCC buildings is examined in this paper. The conventional way of creating high-rise buildings is not financially viable without a shear wall to withstand seismic energy. Framed structures with irregular floor plans that vary in size, shape, and geometry are also expensive. Many studies have been conducted recently on the Coupling Ratio (CR). The current analysis investigates the behavior of the coupled shear wall and the CR for an affordable earthquake resistance construction including the shear wall within a range of 30 % to 45 %. The study shows that shear walls could be reduced at 40–50 % and at 60–70 % of the base height for regular and irregular buildings, respectively. The current study also comes to the conclusion that coupled shear wall earthquake-resistant construction is more practical than the conventional approach because couple beams can be repaired with ease.
A Predictive Vaccination Strategy Based on a Swarm Intelligence Technique for the Case of Saudi Arabia: A Control Engineering Approach
Authors: Boubaker Sahbi
Published: August 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic caused high damage to health, social, and economic systems globally. Saudi Arabia has conducted a relatively successful experience in mitigating the virus. Saudi authorities have started a vaccination campaign by the end of 2020 with more than 60 million doses being administered to citizens and residents by February 2, 2022. The objective of this study is to propose an optimal vaccination strategy in short and medium terms in order to help the local health authorities to first assess the vaccination campaign and to propose a predictive vaccination plan for eradicating the disease. For this purpose, a control engineering approach was used where the disease dynamics was identified and an optimal control law using the daily number of vaccines as input and the daily number of new infections as output was proposed and evaluated. The vaccination process was modeled as a discrete-time transfer function. The parameters of the transfer function were identified based on the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm while considering the Routh-Hurwitz stability criterion for analyzing the system stability. The final step of this study was dedicated to synthesize three controller variants (P, PI, and PID) for the case study of Saudi Arabia. The obtained results for the modeling and the controllers’ design were found to be promising. The results were found to be generic and can therefore be used to control other diseases or any other occurrence of COVID-19 or similar viruses.

Authors: Abedi Hussam Aldin O. , Rasheed Mohammed M. , Alwaili Rusul Abed A.
Published: August 2023

The composite box girder is a structural element with high torsional stiffness and resistance against flexural loads. A new form of bridge construction is the Concrete-Filled Steel Tubes (CFSTs) linked to composite slabs by steel trusses. In this study, four different kinds of composite box girders linked to steel tubes filled with concrete were analyzed experimentally and numerically while being subjected to flexural loads. The specimens were evaluated when subjected to a focused load at the mid-span. The first model is a concrete-filled tube without stiffeners and was considered the control specimen, the second model is a concrete-filled tube with internal I–shaped stiffeners welded inside the steel tube, the third was filled with T-shaped stiffeners, and the fourth with V-shaped stiffeners. The test results showed that the CFST sections with interior stiffeners gave higher strength capacity and less deflection than the control specimen. The best shape of the stiffeners was the T-shape. The numerical analysis results were in accordance with the test results.

Authors: Adware Ramchandra , Chandrakar Vinod
Published: August 2023

The growing use of renewable energy sources in the production of electric power has certain adverse effects on power quality. A compensation system includes some additional devices, such as capacitors, compensators, or reactive power injection devices. FACTS devices, such as the Static Var Compensator (SVC), Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR), and Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC), have become popular as power electronics become more sophisticated. This study investigated the properties of three significant compensating devices: SVC, STATCOM with PI controller, and hybrid STATCOM with a harmonic filter. Common power quality concerns, such as voltage sags and swells and the percentage of Total Harmonic Distortion (TDH), were taken into account during the initial modeling and performance analysis of the proposed system. The overall results showed that the proposed hybrid STATCOM system enhanced the power quality in wind energy systems more than the other two systems.

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are an evolving Machine Learning (ML) method that has proved its ability in various classification tasks. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) present the optimal results for changing image classification tasks. In this regard, this study focused on developing a Multi-versus Optimizer with Deep Learning Enabled Robust Medical X-ray Image Classification (MVODL-RMXIC) method, aiming to identify abnormalities in medical X-ray images. The MVODL-RMXIC model used the Cross Bilateral Filtering (CBF) technique for noise removal, a MixNet feature extractor with an MVO algorithm based on hyperparameter optimization, and Bidirectional Long-Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) for image classification. The proposed MVODL-RMXIC model was simulated and evaluated, showing its efficiency over other current methods.

An experiment was carried out using 300 Namakkal strain of Japanese quails from day old to five weeks of age to study the effect of aloe vera juice supplementation at different concentrations through drinking water on growth performance. The birds were divided into four treatment groups with three replicates in each treatment and each replicate had 25 birds. The four treatment groups consisted of control group without supplementation of aloe vera juice (T0), treatment group 1 (T1) with supplementation of aloe vera juice at the rate of 1 per cent, treatment group 2 (T2) with 1.5 per cent, and treatment group 3 (T3) with 2 per cent supplementation. Standard management and feeding practices were followed on all treatment groups. The carcass traits such as dressing, eviscerated and inedible parts percentage were recorded by randomly selecting two males and two females (four quails) per replicate i.e. six males and six females (12 quails) from each treatment group and executing a slaughter study at 35 days of age. The results revealed a significantly better (P<0.05) carcass traits such as dressing, eviscerated and inedible parts percentage, between all aloe vera juice supplemented groups and the control group and the best carcass yield was observed in T2 group.

Three different levels of corn starch i.e. 4%, 6% and 8% was incorporated after replacing meat in the formulation of spent hen meat spread (SHMS). The lowest scores for most of the sensory parameters were observed in product with 4% level of corn starch whereas the product with 6% corn starch level had highest scores for all the sensory parameters. Lightness values of SHMS increased significantly (P<0.05) with increase in level of corn starch level, whereas the redness (a*) and yellowness (b*) values decreased significantly (P<0.05) with the addition of corn starch. The pH of the treated spent hen meat spread showed significantly (P<0.05) declining trend on incorporation of corn starch. Cooking yield and moisture content showed increasing trend with the increase in the incorporation level of corn starch. Protein and fat values were recorded lower in treatment products in comparison to control product. On basis of analysis of sensory parameters, instrumental colour profile, physico-chemical properties and proximate composition, the incorporation of corn starch at 6% level was found best for the preparation of excellent quality spent hen meat spread.

O objetivo deste texto é discutir a categoria ‘cultura’ em relação às condições de vida e educação de crianças migrantes desde a perspectiva do Materialismo Histórico-Dialético. O presente texto é parte de duas pesquisas sobre crianças migrantes, em Santa Catarina (Brasil) e nos Estados Unidos da América. A primeira foi realizada pela segunda autora durante seu mestrado em educação na Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC), entre 2015 e 2017, com crianças migrantes na Rede Municipal de Educação de Florianópolis, por meio de estudos, observações, entrevistas e rodas de conversas com as crianças migrantes na escola. Já a segunda foi realizada durante o pós-doutorado da primeira autora na City University of New York, em 2020, com crianças migrantes latinas exploradas em trabalhos rurais nos Estados Unidos da América, por meio de observações de campo, da análise de relatórios sobre o trabalho e a imigração no campo, estudos teóricos e entrevistas com ativistas, imigrantes latinos e conversas com crianças trabalhadoras. Por fim, conclui que as realidades pesquisadas, mesmo que por caminhos e objetivos distintos, denunciam a essência dos processos migratórios, ultrapassando a aparência superficial da diversidade cultural e da liberdade de escolha individual por migrar. A migração é expressão de um processo social e familiar de luta por melhores condições de vida e sobrevivência, bem como das crises capitalistas criadoras de uma massa de trabalhadores sobrantes e que perambulam em busca de melhores condições de vida e de trabalho. Crianças migrantes expressam a imbricada correlação entre classe, trabalho e cultura, evidenciando a importância de uma abordagem materialista para os estudos culturais.

Purpose

This research study was conducted to evaluate the impact of (68Ga)-tagged prostatic-specific membrane antigen (68Ga-PSMA) positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET-CT), compare its role with conventional radiology in early staging of high-risk prostate cancer, and calculate the PSMA score evaluating its usefulness in 68Ga-PSMA PET-CT reporting in our patient population.

Material and methods

68Ga-PSMA PET-CT of 65 high-risk cases of prostate cancer was performed for staging purpo­ses. Any change in disease stage was noted after 68Ga-PSMA PET-CT findings and PSMA score leading to a change in the management plan.

Results

Change in disease stage post-PSMA imaging was seen in 39% cases, high PSMA score (03) was noted in > 80% of upstaged cases, while low score (0) and (1) was seen in 65% and 35% down-staged individuals, respectively. Change in therapeutic decision-making was observed in 32% (21) of patients.

Conclusions

68Ga-PSMA PET-CT scans have a significant influence on the planned clinical management of high-risk prostate cancer patients; hence, they can be utilized as a replacement for radiological imaging tools, particularly in the detection of pelvic nodal and distant metastatic disease. PSMA score can be considered as an effective tool in standardized reporting of 68Ga-PSMA imaging.

Salah satu bidang muamalat yang paling sering dilakukan adalah jual beli. penelitian yang bertujuan untuk menjawab pertanyaan: Bagaimana praktik jual beli makanan dan aplikasi Go- Food dan Bagaimana analisis hukum Islam terhadap praktik jual beli makanan dan aplikasi Go-Food. hasil penelitian yang dihimpun melalui wawancara, dokumentasi, dan observasi lalu data tersebut dianalisis dengan menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif melalui pola pikir deduktif yakni menguraikan teori  jual beli dan salam untuk menganalisis jual beli makanan melalui aplikasi Go- Food di PT. Go-Jek. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa praktik akad jual beli makanan dan aplikasi Go-Food belum terlaksana dengan baik karena adanya ketentuan diluar kesepakatan awal yang dilakukan oleh pihak driver ketika makanan yang dipesan oleh pembeli terjadi perubahan harga namun pihak driver tidak konfirmasi terlebih dahulu ke pembeli apakah transaksi tersebut tetap berlanjut atau dibatalkan. Yang menurut hukum Islam, praktik jual beli tersebut tidak  sah  ketika driver tidak konfirmasi adanya perbedaan harga dan dikatakan sah jika driver konfirmasi adanya perbedaan harga dan konsumen memilih untuk melanjutkan jual beli tersebut. Kepada Driver disarankan jika ada perbedaan harga antara aplikasi dan nota mohon untuk dikonfirmasikan ke pelanggan terlebih dahulu meskipun harga tersebut rendah namun lebih baik dikonfirmasikan agar tidak terjadi ketidakrelaan. Dan untuk konsumen agar lebih teliti lagi bahwa harga estimasi yang berada di aplikasi merupakan harga sementara yang bisa berubah-ubah.
