Authors: Pertiwi Dewanti Ratna , Purnami Ndaru Atmi
Published: September 2022

Abstract: English for specific purposes (ESP) is a branch of English instruction prepared to facilitate the students master English used in a particular field. In aerospace field, one of the objectives of ESP is mastering basic aircraft structures as the fundamental knowledge for further development such as aircraft maintenance and management. Mastering a number of technical terms in aerospace is challenging since they are not commonly used in daily life. Thus, a strategy is needed. Project-based learning (PBL) is proposed as an appropriate technique for engineering students due to its advantages; facilitating communication, creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking. Nevertheless, identifying whether it really gives any impact and how much it gives impact are important. Therefore, an experimental study was carried out with one experimental group in mechanical engineering class and one controlled group in industrial engineering class. To investigate the effects, the achievement from the pre-test and post-test of employing the PBL in the experimental group and employing the conventional technique in the controlled group were investigated using t-test of SPSS. Based on the data analysis, the score in each group depicted the achievement increases however in comparing both groups the significant value of the experimental group was higher than in the controlled group. In conclusion, PBL is more effective in increasing the students’ achievement in identifying basic aircraft structures.

Decaying Rural Power Structure in Bangladesh: An Observation on the Political Institutions of Sherpur Upazila
Authors: Habibullah Md. , Salehin Md. Asfaq
Published: September 2022

It is pretty foolish not to expect any changes in society. In dynamic, all the dimensions of society undergo substantial changes over time. The determiner of these changes is plentiful from the time itself to every sing aspect of human behavior along with the societal, political, economic, and natural components that influence the change. Through this inevitable process, the rural power structure, which was traditional and tribal, has gone through many transitional periods and has now started to take a new shape. By using a qualitative technique and studying an Upazila in Bangladesh, this study can suggest that the rural power structure, which is predominantly autonomic, has lost its self-reliance due to financial dependence on the central government. In addition, the growth of partisan politics in rural societies has created a situation in which it is nearly impossible to differentiate between local and national policies. This is a consequence of the problem created by the rise of partisan politics because partisan politics in rural societies have intensified since their inception. Clientelist politics has taken a firm shape in every allocation of values in an agrarian society. Political and judicial institutions like the Shalish and Gram Samaj have almost disappeared or transformed upside-down. Growing disbelief of the residents, dysfunctional institutions, and politically backed rural leaders have failed to win the faith of the majority of the society, clearly indicating a decaying rustic power structure.
The Matrix Sortability Problem
Authors: Cleaver Seth
Published: September 2022

Sorting is such a fundamental component of achieving efficiency that a significant body of mathematics is dedicated
to the investigation of sorting. Any modern textbook on algorithms contains chapters on sorting.

One approach to arranging a disorganized list of items into an organized list is to successively identify two blocks
of contiguous items, and swap the two blocks. In a fundamental paper D.A. Christie showed that a special version of
block swapping, in recent times called context directed swapping and abbreviated cds, is
the most efficient among block swapping strategies to achieve an organized list of items. The cds sorting
strategy is also the most robust among block swap based sorting methods.

It has been discovered that the context directed block swap operation on a list of objects generalizes to an operation
on simple graphs. In turn it has been discovered that this operation on simple graphs corresponds with an operation on
the adjacency matrix of a simple graph. The adjacency matrix is a symmetric square matrix with entries 0 and 1, and all
diagonal entries 0. The corresponding operation is denoted Mcds, abbreviating matrix context directed swap. The operation
on the adjacency matrix naturally employs the arithmetic of GF(2), the finite field of two elements.
It has been speculated that the Mcds operation on these specific matrices over GF(2) corresponds
with the more than a century old Schur complement operation on these matrices.

In this thesis, we confirm this prior speculation about the correspondence between Mcds and the Schur
complement, in the context of GF(2). We generalize the Mcds operation to not necessarily square
matrices over arbitrary fields and we prove that the generalized Mcds corresponds with the Schur complement
also in the more general context of all fields.
Experimentation of Abrasion Erosion at High Temperature for Concentrated Solar Power Systems
Authors: Fong Tessa Mei-lin
Published: September 2022

Concentrated solar power (CSP) is an alternative and sustainable way to produce energy. Studies have shown that
running these plants at high temperatures above 700°C can increase the thermal efficiency in heat transfer. Molten
salt is usually used as the heat transfer medium but cannot be used due to its low maximum temperature and high
freezing point. Running these plants at high temperature brings up the concern of erosion and oxidation. Abrasion
erosion occurs through the interaction of particles and material. The goal of this research is to understand material
degradation due to abrasion erosion to understand the durability of using solid particles as the heat transfer medium.
Previous research has been done but not at the high temperature and low velocity to simulate these conditions. An
apparatus was built to test the interaction of particles and materials at 800°C, periodically measuring the mass of
each specimen and running a total of around 700 hours. Analysis for the specimen included calculating abrasion wear,
surface profilometry, and cross-sectional scanning electron microscope imaging. Analysis for the particles included
reflectance and particle size analysis. It was found temperature had the greatest effect on abrasion wear. For a test
with silica quartz Wedload 430 particles and stainless steel 326H specimen, abrasion wear at 800°C and 25°C was -2.9281
mg/cm2 and -0.1956 mg/cm2, respectively. There was no erosion of particles based on their
circularity before and after testing.
Additive Manufacturing of Sensors for Extreme Environments
Authors: Fujimoto Kiyo Tiffany
Published: September 2022

Advanced manufacturing based direct-write technologies have emerged as the predominant enabler for the fabrication of active and passive sensors for use in harsh operating environments. The ability to directly write and integrate electronic components onto physical packaging can be achieved with additive manufacturing (AM) methods such as direct write technologies (DWT) which include aerosol jet printing (AJP), Ink Jet Printing (IJP), Plasma Jet Printing (PJP), and Micro-Dispense Printing (MDP). In this work, we investigate the use of these methods to accelerate, modernize, and enhance the functionality of sensors and instrumentation to achieve the goal of improving the safety and efficiency of processes that take place within harsh environments. This dissertation accomplishes these objectives with the following activities: (1) an investigation targeting structural health monitoring of space habitats with the development of AJP capacitive strain gauges, (2) an investigation on the melt behavior of AM melt wires by benchmarking the performance of AM melt wires to their classically fabricated counterparts for peak temperature monitoring in nuclear reactors, and (3) the development of AM neutron dosimeters for directional flux monitoring in the TREAT reactor. The results from these activities highlight DWTs as potential solutions for the development of miniature and robust sensors that are difficult to achieve with traditional fabrication methods for nuclear and aerospace instrumentation.
Votes and Voices
Authors: Shepherd Valeryn
Published: September 2022

Substate nationalist political parties are a key component of the electoral politics of Spain and the United Kingdom. The demographic support that these parties receive is often tied to speakers of regional languages. In this paper, six regions in the two countries - Scotland, Catalonia, the Basque Country, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Galicia - are examined using geographic data analysis to determine whether communities with a high level of minority language speakers are more likely to vote for substate nationalist parties. In most of the cases, I find that there is a strong connection between the two.
Security Analysis of Lightweight Cryptographic Primitives
Authors: Unger William
Published: September 2022

Symmetric key cryptographic primitives are essential to encrypt data and protect communication between parties. Due to resource constraints, some modern devices are not capable of executing traditional cryptographic algorithms. This fact necessitates new lightweight cryptographic algorithms. Current research into lightweight cryptology is vast, in part due to the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) lightweight cryptographic standardization process.

There is not much research into the vulnerability to a power analysis attack created by the choice of parameters of lightweight symmetric ciphers. This dissertation develops and demonstrates white box and black box cryptanalysis models for power analysis attacks on lightweight cryptographic primitives.

The white box cryptanalysis targets the GIFT-COFB family of lightweight ciphers that include NIST lightweight standard finalists, and examines the security of their substitution layers in the power analysis setting. Findings include: When deployed over fields of characteristic 2, the most used platform, the non-linearity metric provides the best prediction of susceptibility to power analysis attacks. When deployed over fields of characteristic 3, substitution boxes display a wide range of vulnerability to power analysis attacks, leading to a classification of substitution boxes into weak and strong categories.

The black box cryptanalysis focuses on a proprietary cryptosystem acting between two embedded systems which require a lightweight cipher. The results of the black box cryptanalysis include a model for the decryption process of the proprietary system, and a software implementation of a prediction algorithm that predicts the plaintext giving rise to given ciphertext values.

These research results shed a new light on the resilience of lightweight cryptographic protocols against side-channel and black-box attacks and help in bridging the gap between theory and practice.
The Graduate Identity Formation Through Teaching (GIFT) Project as a Mitigating Tool for Imposter Phenomenon
Authors: Ward Brooke
Published: September 2022

This thesis is an exploratory analysis of the impact of the Graduate Identity Formation through Teaching intervention -- an intervention in which Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics graduate students act as subject matter experts through teaching scientific concepts to elementary teacher candidates -- on graduate students and how it may mediate impostor phenomenon. A sense of expertise, community, and belonging were used as proxy measurements for impostor phenomenon. Data from graduate student impact statements in reflection papers and post-semester interviews were analyzed to measure change in imposter phenomenon for each graduate student. As a result of the intervention, graduate students were found to have an increased sense of expertise, community, and belonging, indicating a decrease in symptoms of imposter phenomenon.

Published: September 2022

Globally there has been an increasing trend in urban growth with cities expanding rapidly, indicating a requirement for more sustainable development of cities to minimize human impacts on the environment. In Australia, urban development continues to target areas adjacent to the coastal capital and regional cities such as the Greater Geelong region in Victoria, experiencing the fastest rates of growth in the country in the last decade. This project demonstrates the ability of modelling techniques to model current and future directions in urban development across two adjacent coastal towns, Anglesea and Torquay, in Victoria. The analysis utilized Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and the CommunityViz decision support tool using a variety of assets, environmental and climatic data. The models indicated an increase in greenhouse gas emissions, energy usage and population growth, and the area was found to be highly vulnerable to the impacts of environmental changes including the potential loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, and sea level rise. The modelling approach described here can aid planners and decision makers in the future coastal urban development as well as to mitigate climate change impacts.
The Role of Reviving Ancient Walls in Collective Memory
Authors: Abdulwahid Sabaa Mujtaba , Al-Musawi Mahmood Hussein , Ali Safaaaldeen Hussein
Published: September 2022

The concepts of the wall and the city intertwined in many ancient civilizations. These walls are historical evidence of specific periods of time that the city passed through and reflect its collective memory that crosses with time. The walls had an actual presence in the lives of residents and builders and their memories. With the passage of time and technological acceleration, the pace of urbanization and development in cities accelerated, which led to the widespread destruction of the walls that reflect the identity of cities and their established image memory. This research aims to study the physical and symbolic revival of the remains of ancient walls and gates due to their importance in enhancing collective memory and identity. To this end, the remnants of the walls in restoring collective memory were studied and presented through global and local propositions through contemporary urban development strategies. The research assumes that the walls are important in conveying the history of the city, so the remains of the walls in the holy city of Najaf were taken as the living historical evidence that reflects the stories of the victories of our fathers and grandfathers over the invasions. Where the old city wall was the fortified wall that protected its people. The number of defensive walls was five, according to another narration, six, and each wall is a reflection of a specific time period and a specific story in the ancient history of the city. Therefore, the rest of these walls must be preserved because they constitute important scenes in the history of the holy city of Najaf, where a framework was used to provide recommendations to evoke the walls as landmarks and determinants influential in the city, this framework was done in the research in Table 1, which is a conceptual framework that was extracted from the previous literature. The results indicated the possibility of investing historical walls as effective drivers in building collective memory and restoring its unique urban identity through a set of mechanisms within the retrieving strategy represented by the virtual renewal of the walls using traces or signs, the work of virtual preservation, and digital documentation, physical renewal of the remains of the walls through literal cloning, deletion and addition, cultural (community) renewal due to the visit.

Published: September 2022

Education and training are critical components for the development of high-quality human resources. Teachers are the most important factor in determining the overall quality of education and training system in any country. As a result, in order to improve the quality of human resource training, it is necessary to first improve the quality of teacher education. It is necessary to have a contingent of teachers who are capable of teaching according to the approach to practicing competence; that is, they must know how to accurately determine the standards of practice competence of the students and then design programs, organize teaching, and evaluate teaching results according to those competency standards in order to train qualified human resources to practice. This study resulted in the development of a scale to evaluate teaching in the direction of approaching the performance capacity of technical pedagogy universities. The results also revealed that both lecturers and students had access to competency-based education during the entire academic duration. The old methods, on the other hand, were still used extensively and frequently up to 90-100 percent of the time in the teaching process. Fifty to one hundred percent of modern methods and materials, however, have not yet been fully explored or utilized. The study recommends arranging adequate funds to universities for conducting additional research into other aspects of teaching and learning to ensure performance improvement.

Published: September 2022

Background: One of the major factors affecting the physiology of pregnancy and reproductive cycle is the trace elements intake and their levels in serum of brood ewes and does. The main objective of this investigation was to study the association between serum concentration of trace elements, ovarian findings, stage of pregnancy and steroid hormones in sheep and goats. Methods: Total of 129 ewes (68 pregnant and 61 non-pregnant) and 54 does (32 pregnant and 22 non-pregnant) were examined clinically and ultrasonographically for pregnancy diagnosis and monitoring the ovarian findings. Pregnant animals were categorized according to the gestational stage into 1 to 2, greater than 2 to 3, greater than 3 to 4 and greater than 4 months. According to the ovarian findings, non-pregnant animals were categorized as having mature corpus luteum (CL), large follicle ( greater than 5 mm) and corpus luteum (CL+F), growing follicles (GF, less than 5.mm) and mature follicle (MF, greater than 5 mm). Animals were bled and serum was harvested and assayed for estrogen (E2), progesterone (P4), manganese (Mn), selenium (Se), iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) levels. Result: Mn (P=0.01), Fe (P=0.05) and Zn (P=0.001) were lower in pregnant compared with non-pregnant ewes. Fe was significantly higher (P=0.03) in non-pregnant compared with pregnant does at any gestational stage. Ewes with MF had higher Se (P=0.02) and Fe (P=0.001) compared with other ewes. Fe (P=0.001) and Zn (P=0.000) were higher in does having MF compared with other does. A positive association between E2 and serum Fe in non-pregnant ewes (P=0.03) and does (P=0.05) was found. It can be concluded that pregnancy associated with a decrease in serum trace elements in sheep and goats.

Distribution is the action or process of supplying goods to stores and other businesses that sell to consumers. If a product or service is distributed from a company, it requires adequate means of transportation and usually requires too large distribution costs. Delivery of goods at this company does not use mathematical methods in calculating its distribution to several places correctly. The purpose of this research is to create an optimal, efficient and effective distribution model for this company by applying the North West Corner Method and the Modified Distribution Method in July, August and September 2021. North West Corner Method for the initial solution and Modified Distribution Method as the optimal solution is a variation of the Stepping Stone method. The results of this research show that the distribution costs incurred by the company after being calculated using the North West Corner Method and the Modified Distribution Method are Rp. 6,961,779, - from Rp. 7,000,000. Then these two methods are able to help companies save distribution costs incurred.
Discurso periodístico y posverdad en los diarios “La República” y “El Comercio” durante las elecciones municipales de Lima Metropolitana (2018). Casos: Ricardo Belmont y Daniel Urresti
Authors:   , Portocarrero Reggiardo Carla Andrea
Published: September 2022

La presente tesis tiene como tema comparar los discursos periodísticos de “La República” y “El Comercio” en relación a la campaña municipal de la alcaldía de Lima el año 2018 y determinar si se utilizó la posverdad en las notas “informativas” digitales durante el último mes de la campaña electoral del 2018. Específicamente, se analizó el caso del candidato Ricardo Belmont, tratado por el diario “La República”, y del postulante Daniel Urresti, tratado por “El Comercio”. Del total de notas publicadas (62 sobre Urresti en “El Comercio” y 46 sobre Belmont en “La República”) solo se han considerado 5 notas “informativas” en cada caso, ya que son las únicas que manifiestan el desacuerdo que tiene el diario con el postulante en cuestión. Una lectura superficial podría hacer pensar que los periodistas que redactaron estas cinco notas pretenden ser neutrales. No obstante, el uso de palabras clave dentro del cuerpo del texto y los mecanismos utilizados en los discursos evidencia la presencia de la posverdad y así se explicita la postura crítica del medio frente al candidato. La conclusión principal es que los postulantes no fueron los favoritos de los diarios, pues su ideología y posición no era compartida por estos periódicos. En ese sentido la presente tesis, también, prueba que en los mencionados diarios, detrás de la apariencia de equilibrio informativo, se desarrollaron diversos mecanismos de la posverdad con el objeto de criticar y de desprestigiar a candidatos que no eran de su preferencia.

Authors:   Bolu Abant Izzet Baysal University, Turkey, Evrendilek Gulsun Akdemir
Published: September 2022

Increased incidences of cancer caused by dysregulated gene expression or dysfunctional genes, in addition to the side effects of chemo- and radio-therapies, have led to studies featuring more natural treatments. Various natural compounds, also called cancer-preventive, and/or phytochemicals possessing significant anticancer properties, are now in demand as an alternative to traditional cancer treatments, although their low selectivity may limit their use. New approaches involving encapsulation, micelle formation, coating as nano- and micro- particles, and combined use of phytochemicals to increase their diffusion through different delivery systems with their anticancer properties against various types of cancer are proving very promising. Phytochemicals, their mode of action, current studies to accelerate their effectiveness, and future trends are summarized in this chapter.

Organosulphur compounds are typically identified by their unpleasant odours and comprise a wide variety of sulphur-containing organic molecules, abundant both in nature and in the body, which are found in a variety of vegetables such as garlic, onions, chives and leeks. There are a number of health benefits linked to allicin, with Allium sativum L. inhibiting NF-B (nuclear factor kappa B) activity, while Alliacaea inhibit COX-1 (cyclooyygenase) and 12-LOX (lipoxygenase) activity leading to anti-inflammatory functions. Other health benefits include anticarcinogenic and antioxidant activity, improved immune function and a beneficial role in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease. In the food industry, organosulphur compounds are utilised as food dyes, sulphur dioxide preservatives and sweeteners, all of which must be clearly indicated on the food label, as sulphur is 1 of 14 allergens. This chapter highlights the bioavailability of organosulphur compounds, health benefits and nutraceutical applications.

The development of technology, especially on information and telecommunication has encouraged the development of online businesses such as e-commerce. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, people's lifestyles are switching and relying on shopping on e-commerce. The world economy is enormous by changes due to the development of financial, investment, production and trade. With the invention of e-commerce, buying and selling transactions can be carried out anytime and anywhere. However, this can also be used as a double-edged sword, because there are many possible crimes that occur in e-commerce transactions, such as data leakage. The last few years there have been several cases of data leakage. Nevertheless, there has been no resolution because there is no specific law for the protection of personal data. It is advisable to set up specific law for this protection of personal data for buyers who use e-commerce.

Authors: Palmér Lina , Nyström Maria , Carlsson Gunilla , Ekebergh Margareta , Fridh Isabell , Lindberg Elisabeth , Wireklint-Sundström Birgitta
Published: September 2022

This article examines and exemplifies how existential philosophy can provide deeper understanding of existential issues in a caring context. Existential philosophy, including lifeworld theory, is treated both as an epistemology for the development of research methods and inspiration for analysis and discussions in caring science research. The significance of the lifeworld is also highlighted as a guide to perform and enable caring and caring didactics, along with short descriptions where existential philosophy has previously influenced the development of caring science. The concept existential caring science is suggested as a research area for research on existential and meaning-oriented phenomena.
Traumatic soft tissue defects: a perspective review on reconstruction and communication priorities from the orthopaedic trauma surgeon as a partner in care
Authors: Patterson Joseph T. , Nakata Haley , Becerra Jacob , Duong Andrew
Published: September 2022

Communication and coordination between orthopedic and plastic surgeons improve outcomes in severe extremity trauma. The “orthoplastics” approach to limb salvage incorporates priorities and skillsets from both fields. Prevention of infection, coordinated skeletal and soft tissue reconstruction, and communication during recovery and rehabilitation are key priorities. The purpose of this review is to describe the orthopedic trauma surgeon’s perspectives on lower extremity reconstruction, including initial management, techniques and timing for provisional and definitive skeletal reconstruction, and considerations for rehabilitation and orthotic use to optimize functional outcomes.

Published: September 2022

This case report aimed to present the course of surgically combined comprehensive orthodontic treatment of a male adult with cleft lip and palate, showing a left alveolar cleft, lateral deviation of the major segment of the maxilla, and palatal transposition of the lateral incisor. Preoperatively, the midline of the upper central incisors was shifted by 7.0 mm to the right, the right lateral incisor showed palatal transposition, and the residual alveolar cleft was 6.5 mm. Segmental Le Fort I osteotomy of the major segment, and simultaneous bone grafting into the extended alveolar bone and former cleft region were performed at 18 years and 4 months of age. Thus, midline correction, alignment of the right lateral incisor, and cleft closure were achieved; no further prosthetic treatment was required.
Improving HER2 testing reproducibility in HER2-low breast cancer
Authors: Sajjadi Elham , Venetis Konstantinos , Ivanova Mariia , Fusco Nicola
Published: September 2022

HER2 is a pillar biomarker in breast cancer, and it is assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) using a three-tier scoring system and reflex in situ hybridization (ISH) for IHC score 2+. Novel HER2-directed antibody-drug conjugates have demonstrated significant antitumor activity in breast cancers with low levels of HER2 expression, i.e. IHC score 1+ or ISH-negative IHC score 2+. Both primary and acquired resistance to anti-HER2 therapies remains a challenge in the treatment of breast cancers according to the HER2 positivity continuum. Thus, the ability to precisely discriminate among HER2-zero, HER2-low, and HER2-positive breast cancers is no longer a mere academic exercise. HER2 testing criteria, guidelines, and quality controls are re-gaining momentum for this new clinical need. Therefore, all preanalytical and analytical variables that might trouble the sensitivity and reproducibility of this test should be carefully considered to address all possible issues and open all possible therapeutic opportunities for breast cancer patients.
