Published: September 2024

Helical piles are widely used nowadays for variety of projects that span over a diverse range of industries which include electrical utility, oil and gas, commercial and residential, alternative energy such as solar and wind farms, and Municipal Infrastructure. Helical piles have several advantages over other conventional pile-types such as: can provide high compressive and uplift capacities at shallower embedment, quickest method of piling installation, suitability for construction in limited access areas, installation in different soil conditions, cost effectiveness and most importantly, helical pile installation is a vibration-free process. For storage tanks foundations application where operation loads are high and settlement is a concern, it is necessary to quantify the performance of the proposed pile design prior to construction commencement. This paper presents a full-scale axial compression load test executed on a high-capacity helical pile that is going to be used to support two sulphate storage tanks pads in an existing facility. The test setup and procedure are described. The results of the axial compressive pile load test and field monitoring of helical pile with quad helices installed in very stiff to hard clay shale soil are presented in this paper. A finite element model has been developed using Staad Pro software to study the load transfer mechanism. The data presented is therefore considered valuable to other researchers and engineers considering the use of helical piles to support high loads in urban areas. Based on the results of this study it was found that helical piles can develop a significant ultimate axial compressive resistance up to 3060 kN.

Empowering Equality : Addressing Women’s Under Representation in Indian Politics
Authors: - Dhruvi Karia
Published: September 2024

Equality and fairness are values that we uphold in the modern period. Even Nevertheless, there has been a disproportionate amount of progress made in the global representation of women in politics. Women still confront significant impediments to entering political venues, whether they are in the quiet corners of rural communities or the busy streets of metropolises. Women's potential as leaders and change makers is hampered by the continued existence of discriminatory legislation, cultural norms, and structural biases. If things continue as they are, gender equality in the top positions of power won't be achieved for 130 years, according to UN Women.
Women have been involved in politics since the colonial era, both with and without the right to vote. They have worked for and against the revolution by their words, deeds, and labor; yet, it is concerning that they are underrepresented in today's political environment. Thus, using qualitative research methodologies, this study aims to investigate women's political leadership in both the lower and upper houses of parliament, the percentage of women voters nationwide, and women's political awareness.

However, a high dosage of betacyanin will give an undesirable odour and unfavourable earthy flavour due to the presence of geosmin. An alternative source to replace betacyanin in beetroot is to extract betacyanin from red purple pitaya (Hylocereus polyrhizus). However, this natural pigment is easily degraded under high temperature and sunlight. This research aims to determine the photostability and heat stability of the betacyanin using Response Surface Methdology at different pH, temperature, light exposure, and ascorbic acid concentrations. The parameters involved were temperature, light, pH, and ascorbic acid at different ranges 65-95°C, 10-70 h, pH 3-7 and 0.1 g/mL-1.5 g/mL, respectively. The optimal betacyanin thermal stability was obtained at 77.428°C, pH 3 and 1.000 g/mL of ascorbic acid while the optimal photostability was obtained at 44.726 h, pH 5.391 and 0.629 g/mL of ascorbic acid. Betacyanin also have high total phenolic content of 13.607 – 18.071mg GAE/mL and antioxidant activity based on DPPH scavenging activities of 546.549 µg/mL and 519.05 µg/mL. To conclude, this study proposed the optimum condition to retain the highest amount of betacyanin were temperature lower than 77.428°C, pH lower than pH 5.5 with 0.5 – 1.000 g/mL of ascorbic acid.  This information offers a useful guideline for food manufacturers to create the best storage condition for their products containing betacyanin.

Global crises such as climate change, war and borderless diseases are the factors that lead to limited supply and unstable prices of the raw material to produce animal feed placing a major burden on the farmers and smallholders to produce livestock at a reliable cost. Malaysia is among the most affected country due to its high dependency on imported resources to produce animal feed. Hence, cheap and locally available raw material is the key to producing sustainable and safety-ensured animal feed for domestic consumption. Due to the adaptability and resilient nature of sago palm towards extreme environmental distress, sago frond was selected as an alternative raw material to produce animal feed in the form of silage. Sago frond was pruned from growing sago palm (age between 3-7 years), then leaves and rachis were pulverised before vacuum packed into silo bag. Analysis shows that optimised sago frond silage (1:1 RSF/SL) possessed five ideal characteristics that include dry matter (47.76 %), acid detergent fibre (31.98 %), total water-soluble sugar (2.4 g/Kg), minimum pH (4.3) and protein content (16.85 %). Hence, the ensiling technique applies to produce high-quality animal feed from optimum formulated sago frond by preserving nutrient content and improving in-vitro digestibility of the silage designated for ruminant consumption. The feeding trial shows significant growth performance of animal models (Malin Breed Sheep) fed with optimised SFSil with Average Daily Gain (61.12 g/day) and Feed Conversion Ratio (9.64 g/g). Therefore, manufacturing animal feed from pre-harvest sago frond provides the solution to high dependency on imported animal feed and also offers a new lucrative commodity for the sago farmers while waiting for the sago palm to be harvestable.

This research is motivated by the low ability of students in writing, especially writing explanatory texts. This is caused by students who feel they have no talent and are unable to express their creativity in writing, as well as the lack of effectiveness of the learning model used by educators. One learning model that can foster student creativity is the problem-based learning model. The purpose of this study was to find out: the ability of the writer to implement the Pancasila Student Profile in the module in the implementation and assessment of learning to construct explanatory text using the problem based learning model of students in class XI SMAN 1 Parongpong, to describe the ability of students to implement Pancasila Student Profiles in constructing explanatory texts based on the type and elements of making explanatory text; and describe the ability of students to implement explanatory texts on Pancasila Student Profiles in the arrangement of explanatory texts using the problem based learning model. This research uses quantitative methods. This study presents the learning outcomes of writing explanatory texts on students' critical reasoning abilities based on the types and elements of making explanatory texts using the problem based learning model. It is evident from the results of the average pretest of experimental class students getting 53.30 while the acquisition of an average post-test score of  93,75indicates an increase in grades.

The issue of accurately detecting semantically equivalent code remains a current problem for students, teachers, and researchers. The goal of this article was to develop an alternative method for checking software code for plagiarism using abstract syntax trees. To achieve this, an analysis of existing modern methods of automatic comparison of original and modified program code for plagiarism detection was conducted, focusing on abstract syntax trees, approaches based on machine learning, and token-based analysis. Systems such as MOSS, JPlag, Codequiry, and Plaggie were reviewed. As a result of this work, it can be noted that the proposed methods have sufficiently high indicators in the range of 79-85% for semantically equivalent code and 93-95% similarity in cases demonstrating hash violation problems, which shows their potential effectiveness in solving various tasks related to the detection of software code plagiarism. The practical value of the research lies in the possibility of using the proposed method for checking small student assignments for originality. Future research on this topic could include adding functionality for document collection, reducing the time required for document verification, expanding the number of programming languages, and improving system efficiency while operating large code fragments.
