Authors: Yadav Shilpi , Yadav Pinki , Pandey Jaya , Vishwakarma Sanni , Shekhar Yogesh
Published: June 2024

This study focuses on enhancing power quality using a Current Source Converter (CSC) based Dynamic Voltage Restorer (D-STATCOM) controlled by a Fuzzy Logic-PID (Fuzzy-PID) controller. Power quality improvement is a vital aspect of maintaining reliable and efficient electrical power systems. The integration of fuzzy logic with traditional PID control enables adaptive and precise regulation of the D-STATCOM, addressing voltage sags, swells, and harmonic distortions effectively. The Fuzzy-PID controller dynamically adjusts the control parameters, offering superior performance in compensating for power quality disturbances compared to conventional methods. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the Fuzzy-PID controlled CSC-based D-STATCOM significantly improves voltage stability, reduces harmonic distortion, and enhances overall power quality. This approach is particularly effective in managing the nonlinear and time-varying nature of electrical loads, making it highly suitable for industrial power systems, renewable energy integration, and smart grid applications. The proposed system ensures robust and reliable power quality improvement, presenting a promising solution for modern electrical infrastructure challenges.

Published: June 2024

Image-based defogging technology can significantly enhance intraoperative image quality and shows great promise in various medical fields. A new image removal algorithm based on conditional generative adversarial networks (cGAN) has been developed. This algorithm employs the Tiramisu model instead of the conventional U-Net, thereby improving its computational accuracy. Additionally, the quality of the resulting images is enhanced by incorporating more textual data. A novel visual perception method is proposed, utilizing a contrast-based approach to improve the similarity between images with the same semantic content. Experiments demonstrate that this method not only excels at fog removal but also better preserves the key visual features of the images. Compared to existing image defogging technologies, this method offers superior qualitative analysis capabilities. This advancement can aid doctors in better visualizing intraoperative images. The effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method are validated through comparative analysis with several existing image noise reduction techniques.

Strawberries, being a non-climacteric fruit is usually harvested near maturity for optimal flavour and quality. However, this could also lead to a limited shelf life being highly perishable. However, the ripening stages could be a possible solution to minimizing the losses of post-harvest. Therefore, a current study was performed to evaluate the influences of ripening stages affecting the quality of strawberry fruit. Strawberry fruit was picked at four ripening stages unripe, semi-ripe, fully ripe and over-ripe maturity stages and stored at 5°C and were evaluated every alternate day for changes in fruit quality. The results concluded that red ripe fruits retained maximum fresh fruit weight and only 10%of fruit was un-marketable after 10 days of storage period. On the contrary, the highest decay rate was observed in over-ripe fruits and 50% of the fruit was unmarketable after 10 days of storage. Moreover, red ripe fruits were organoleptically more acceptable and retained higher total soluble solids whereas unripe and semi-ripe achieved low organoleptic scores due to higher total titratable acids. High levels of sugar in over-ripe fruits favoured a high incidence of pathogen attack. From this experiment, we can suggest that if fruits are picked at the red ripe stage will have optimal quality, moisture level, TSS, pH, TSS/acid ratio, TA, and good organoleptic score. Therefore, strawberry fruits for fresh eating should be picked at the red ripe maturity stage.

Authors: Zaman Adil , Mushtaq Muhammad
Published: June 2024

The political landscape in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Pakistan, has seen a significant transformation since the 2013 elections, marked by the unprecedented dominance of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) across three consecutive elections. This study explores the dynamics of party identification with specific relevance to the Peshawar Valley of KP, focusing on the role of family socialization, peer group interactions, political party performance, leadership, and political campaigns. Data from 1196 respondents in the Peshawar Valley were analyzed using multiple regression with SmartPLS. The findings indicate that traditional familial and peer influences on party identification are weakening, while instrumental factors like political leadership and campaigns have a substantial impact. PTI's success is attributed to its effective use of social media and charismatic leadership, emphasizing the shift towards leader-centric and campaign-driven party support. This shift reflects a weakening of traditional partisan alignments and a growing reliance on dynamic political factors in shaping voter behavior.

Published: June 2024

Capacitive deionization (CDI) is a novel technique to eliminate ions present in the solution. This study was designed to evaluate the impact of cation exchange resin loading on the membrane using the nonsolvent-induced phase inversion method. After optimizing the resin loading on the membrane, the prepared membrane was employed for the membrane capacitive deionization (MCDI). A concentration of 500 mg.L-1 Cu2+ was used as a test contaminant in the CDI system to study Cu2+ removal and recovery at different voltages. Results showed that resin loading substantially influenced the membrane structure and enhanced the Cu2+ removal by the CDI technique. The presence of cation exchange resin on the membrane was found by the appearance of a peak at 1,007 cm-1, 1,035 cm-1, and 1,128 cm-1 in the FTIR spectra of the –SO3 group, which became more significant as the amount of resin increased. The prepared membrane’s water uptake and ion exchange capacity increased as the quantity of resins loaded onto the membrane increased. When monitoring a current-time graph during CDI tests, an adsorption amount of 6.9 mg.g-1 of Cu2+ and recovery efficiency of 51.7 % at the 10th cycle in the MCDI cell was observed for M20 (20% by wt resin). Using the prepared membrane in the CDI system has the potential to remove Cu2+ from the solution selectively.
MEMBRANE CONTACTORS WITH POLYMER MEMBRANES FOR AMINE CO2 SOLVENT DEOXYGENATION
Authors: Bazhenov Stepan , Kalmykov Denis , Shirokikh Sergey
Published: June 2024

Anthropogenic CO2 emissions into the atmosphere are one of the unsolved problems of the modern world. A significant contribution to the increase in the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is made by the flue gases of the energy production industry. The most mature technology for post-combustion CO2 capture is absorption using amine solvents. The disadvantage of this technology is the oxidative degradation of amines due to the presence of dissolved oxygen in the solvent. A promising solution to control the cause of amine degradation is oxygen concentration maintenance. In this work, membrane contactors were developed for dissolved oxygen removal (deoxygenation) from model alkanolamine CO2 solvents. Composite and flat sheet membranes based on highly permeable glassy polymers poly[1-(trimethylsilyl)-1-propyne] and poly[vinyltrimethylsilane] were obtained. Gas-liquid and liquid-liquid membrane contactors based on the fabricated membranes were developed. A deoxygenation process was implemented using a vacuum to create a driving force in the case of a gas-liquid contactor, while a liquid-liquid membrane contactor was tested using aqueous solutions of oxygen scavengers. The various types of alkanolamines were used to test the deoxygenation process. It has been shown that 5-37% of dissolved oxygen can be removed from amine solution using the developed membrane contactors. The process efficiency was evaluated with a resistance-in-series model.

Clean water scarcity is a critical issue faced by the world. It was caused by insufficient potable water supply and a high cost of water purification systems. As a result, a photothermal evaporator system with the property to absorb light/solar energy and then convert it to heat energy has been rapidly developed. In this work, a solar-driven water evaporation was designed for desalination. The solar evaporator comprises a photothermal molybdenum disulfide-titanium dioxide (MoS2-TiO2) composite layer supported onto a cheap filter paper attached. The filter paper was attached to polystyrene foam for support and cotton thread in the centre of the filter paper for water transportation. MoS2-TiO2 composite was synthesized and coated onto the filter paper using a simple vacuum-assisted method. Before the solar-driven water evaporation testing, the MoS2-TiO2 composite was first characterized using XRD and Raman spectroscopy. The characterization results indicate that MoS2 introduction into the TiO2 structure improved the photosensitivity due to the reduction of the bandgap energy from 3.1 eV for TiO2 to 1.6 eV. The performance of the developed solar evaporator was tested using 35,000 ppm NaCl solution under sunlight for 24 h intermittently. The TiO2-MoS2 solar evaporator was observed to have the highest photothermal ability, with 0.807 kg‧m-2‧h-1 evaporation performance and 55.9 % photothermal efficiency compared to other solar evaporators. This indicated that introducing the photothermal MoS2-TiO2 layer could enhance the solar evaporator performances, making it promising for the desalination application, particularly in impoverished areas with water scarcity.
MORPHOLOGY AND HYDROPHOBICITY OF AGAR, BEESWAX, AND AGAR-BEESWAX EMULSION COATED ON POROUS ALUMINA SUPPORT
Authors: Kongkhon Sunisa , Sirijarukul Suksawat , Lertwittayanon Kowit
Published: June 2024

Membrane degassing technology is based on the principle of hydrophobicity. Up-to-date, the membrane degasifier is industrially produced by extrusion and then stretched to form a hollow fiber shape with long narrow pores along membrane length. Typical degasifiers are engineered with polypropylene (PP) due to its high toughness and flexibility. However, finding environmentally safe materials at a low cost for replacement for PP would be worth investigating. In this work, agar, beeswax, and their emulsion were coated on a tubular alumina membrane for use as a selective layer of the membrane degasifier. The agar solution with different concentrations between 1 and 4 wt% was coated on the alumina membrane support to create a pore network. Beeswax was coated on agar film to enhance the hydrophobicity. SEM images showed that the increase in the concentrations of agar led to a decreased pore size of the selective layer. Moreover, the contact angle increased up to 100° when the concentration of agar solution increased to 4 wt%. The increase in contact angle to 120° was obtained when the beeswax was coated, appropriate for hydrophobic applications.

Isolation and Identification of Bacterial Biosurfactant Producing Strain from Soil and Evaluation of Their Antimicrobial Activity Mediated Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles
Authors: Sanuj Ashitha K , Vanitha N.
Published: June 2024

Nanoparticle synthesis using biosurfactants is currently a popular and environmentally friendly method for improving both particle synthesis and stabilization. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have found extensive applications in the field of biomedicine. The present study focused on isolating microorganisms that produce biosurfactants from soil contaminated with oil. The isolated microorganisms were identified through molecular identification of 16s r-RNA gene sequencing and characterization as Bacillus pseudomycoides. We determined biosurfactant production using various assays such as hemolysis assay, emulsification index, oil spreading tests, and drop-collapsing assays. This investigation confirms that isolated microorganisms possess biosurfactant properties. We utilized a biosurfactant extract from the B. pseudomycoides strain for the synthesis of ZnO NPs. Advanced techniques such as UV-vis spectroscopy, XRD, FTIR, SEM, and Edax were employed to ensure accurate characterization. Furthermore, the biosurfactant-mediated ZnO NPs effectively killed a few bacterial pathogens, such as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumonia. They were also effective against fungal pathogens, such as Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, and Fusarium oxysporum. This research highlights the impressive effectiveness of newly synthesized biosurfactant-mediated ZnO against clinical isolates. This research suggests that the biosurfactant extract from B. pseudomycoides could be used to make ZnO nanoparticles that could be useful for treating harmful infections.

الجيش والسلطة السياسية في الدول النامية-العربية : مطارحات فكرية في بيئة ما بعد نهاية الحرب الباردة
Authors: العوفي محمد
Published: June 2024

تناقش هذه الدراسة علاقة الجيش بالسلطة السياسية في الدول النامية بصفة عامة، والعربية منها على وجه الخصوص، منظورا إليها من زاوية التصورات النظرية التي قاربتها في بيئة ما بعد نهاية الحرب الباردة، بكل ما حملته من زخم خارجي دافع نحو تعزيز موقع النخبة السياسية أمام العسكرية لتيسير الإصلاحات الديمقراطية في معظم هذه الدول.
أما في العربية منها، فقد تميزت اختلفت المقاربة النظرية لعلاقة الجيش بالسلطة السياسية بين حقبتين اثنتين؛ قبل اندلاع ثورات الربيع العربي لعام 2011، والتي تموقع الجيش في معظم جمهورياتها كفاعل مهيمن على السلطة السياسية، وكذراع للحاكم في جل الملكيات وباقي الجمهوريات، وإبان الثورات من خلال وضع شبكة تقييم قبلي لموقفه بين دعم النظام السياسي أو الاطفاف مع الجمهور الثائر.
انتهت الدراسة إلى أن نجاح مسار الانتقال الديمقراطي في بعض الدول النامية الأسيوية تحقق بعد تجند النخبة السياسية للتحكم في وضع السياسة العامة؛ ومنها السياسة العسكرية، فيما تعذر ذلك في معظم الدول النامية التي حافظت فيها النخبة العسكرية على هيمنتها على كل من وضع السياسة العامة، وإدارة الأمن القومي، والتنظيم الداخلي للجيش.
أما في الدول العربية، فتأكد أن الجيش فاعل مهيمن على السلطة السياسية الفعلية، ومن وراء ستار مدني في جل الجمهوريات، وهو بمثابة قوة ضغط يوفر الأمن للنظم الملكية في مقابل إغداقها عليه بالامتيازات، وهو أحد المفاتيح الرئيسية لإنجاح الثورات العربية أو إفشالها. وبالتالي فأي انتقال ديمقراطي حقيقي في الدول النامية والعربية مشروط بإخراج الجيش من السلطة السياسية.

Priest, Rebel and Scholar. François-Marie Savina in Tonkin (Vietnam) 1901–1941
Authors: Michaud Jean
Published: June 2024

With this case study of a French Catholic missionary in Tonkin, as north Vietnam was called during colonial times, I wish to illustrate how individual agency might find ways of expression in spite of severe hierarchical clashes. Put differently, I wish to critically reflect on a case where the scientific inclination of a given missionary in the field became his calling. The surprising result being that instead of meeting the expectations of conformity or “toeing the line” of Catholic conversion duties, he intentionally took a significant step outside dogmatic morality.
On Tradition, Modernity, and Tribal Art. The Case of the Ethnic Nagas in North-East India
Authors: Chophy G. Kanato
Published: June 2024

The art of the ethnic Nagas in north-east India is still enmeshed with the colonial portrayal of tribal life. What is enacted as tribal art by “insiders” has a quality of “staged authenticity,” while “outsiders” appraise the fast-changing traditional art as if suspended in time. Here, the stakeholders that mediate the production and representation of Naga art and aesthetics exacerbate the inconsistency. The boundary between an insider and outsider is blurring in other areas of social and cultural life, but traditional art is appropriated to reinforce the dichotomy. In this context, identity polemics and tourism industry are posited as prime movers shaping the contours of contemporary Naga art and aesthetics. Along this argument, this article draws upon Erving Goffman’s dramaturgical analysis to analyse Naga art life as a process of continuity and change.
La feminización de la sobrecarga: cuidados no- remunerados, relaciones familiares y envejecimiento en Peñalolén (Chile)
Authors: Torralbo Herminia Gonzálvez , Guizardi Menara , Bravo Carla
Published: June 2024

This article presents an anthropological study with a feminist focus on the unpaid care work done by older people in the district of Peñalolén (Metropolitan Region, Chile). Thirty-two qualitative interviews were conducted with men and women aged sixty and over with the aim of finding out what chores they do when looking after, in particular, their familiy members. The findings show that older women have an overload when it comes to care work and that their activities sustain different aspects of their relatives’ lives. These women appear to be caught “in the middle,” trapped between different generations and distinct ways of doing paid and unpaid work. At the same time, older men tend only to take on care work when their partner is not in a position to do so; rather, they undertake more specific ways of providing (such as offering material and economic resources to their children and grandchildren).
Journalistische Meinungsäußerungen zum Ukraine-Krieg auf Twitter
Authors: Mayer Julia
Published: June 2024

The war in Ukraine has been discussed extensively on Twitter, including by journalists. They use the platform, which has since been renamed X, not only to disseminate and research information, but also to express their subjective opinions. Given their important role in opinion formation, it is crucial to investigate the extent to which these opinions are expressed. Using quantitative content analysis, this study investigates how political journalists from leading German me-dia present their views on the Ukraine war and to whom they are addressed. The results show, among other things, that leading media journalists are increasingly expressing opinions and evaluative statements that are predominantly negative in the sample.
Die Rolle der Sozialwirtschaft in der sozial-ökologischen Transformation
Authors: Einck Jonas
Published: June 2024

Jonas Einck explores how the social economy can contribute to the socio-ecological transformation. He examines the roles that non-profit organisations in the social economy (can) play in the ongoing transformation process. Based on interviews with experts, he defines the spectrum of possible roles and, by identifying new contexts, he can also locate future roles for non-profit organisations. Written for social organisations as well as students and designers of the social economy, the book outlines new strategies for dealing with future socio-ecological crises.

This work was awarded the special prize of the Evangelisches Johanneswerk for outstanding theses at the Evangelische Hochschule Bochum.
Durchsetzung des Beschäftigtendatenschutzrechts
Authors: Borchert Jannick
Published: June 2024

Data protection remains an empty promise if its rules are not effectively enforced - this also and especially applies to the employment relationship with its particular risks for employees. The requirements for the enforcement mechanisms of the GDPR – compensation for damages under Art. 82 and fines under Art. 83 GDPR – are largely unclear. This poses a considerable risk for data-processing employers and employees may only have ineffective enforcement mechanisms at their disposal. The study provides a comprehensive interpretation of the central enforcement instruments of data protection law with a particular focus on the employment relationship, which also includes the passability of damages and a waiver in employment contracts.
Users’ ICT Skill

Published: June 2024

The essence of this chapter was to acquaint users with the needed skills to navigate the various information resources in the library. The set goal was brought to bear on the distribution of questionnaires. In doing this, explorative approach was adopted. In academic libraries the existence of information and communication skills are not being felt as should be expected on the part of the users. Though information and communication technologies (ICTs) are well known and appreciated, but the skills are not easy to possess in defining problems, accessing, locating and evaluating information resources. Also revealed was the Big6 skills provided as each approach can be used whenever students are in a situation, academic or personal, which requires information to solve a problem, make a decision or complete a task.

Designing Gold Nanoparticles to Enhance Colorimetric Perception in Biomedicine
Authors: Keith Roper D.
Published: June 2024

Color perception conveys visual information as well as esthetic experience in personal, academic, and occupational settings. In biomedicine, colorimetric point-of-care devices offer rapid, low-cost diagnosis and health monitoring based on optical distinction of interacting biomarkers labeled by e.g., gold nanoparticles. Reliable evaluation and accurate interpretation of readouts from nanoparticle-based colorimetric assays depends on consistent perception of quantitative color attributes such as hue, chromaticity, brightness, and saturation. Yet color perception is highly subjective and varies widely as a result of physical features such as lighting, local environment, and extinction mode as well as biological factors that include genetics, health, and age. This chapter examines contributions of gold nanoparticle size and shape, illumination, sample environment, signal processing, and color vision deficit on quantitative perceptual color difference in order to coordinate a rational framework for design and implementation of gold nanoparticles in biomedical devices to enhance differentiation of analyte-induced changes in nanoparticle-supported color.

Published: June 2024

A village profile is needed to provide an accurate, comprehensive and integral picture of the village's potential and level of development. Through the University's Real Work Lecture activities on August 17 1945, we tried to help Kalidami RW 10 Village located in Surabaya City, East Java Province in an effort to create a village profile. Based on problem identification, the profile of Mojo RW 10 Village contains some information on the number of existing UMKM. However, there is some data that is still not complete or updated. For example, data that has not been updated is about Waste Generation, Village Profile, Waste Savings, etc. Therefore, the objectives of this service activity are: 1) creating a profile of Mojo RW 10 Village which contains complete village potential data and 2) presenting profile data of Mojo RW 10 Village which can be accessed in printed and electronic versions. The methods used are secondary data collection, surveys and interviews. Evaluation of this activity is carried out directly during the profile creation activity, so that output can be produced that meets the wishes of the target audience. The output of this activity is a printed book on the profile of Mojo RW 10 Village which is one of the documents available at the RW 10 hall and a video profile of Mojo RW 10 Village which has been uploaded on social media.
Legal Protection for Revenge Porn Victims in the Sexual Violence Crime Law (UU No. 12 of 2022)
Authors: Yoga Putra Dinantira
Published: June 2024

In recent times, there has been a notable surge in public awareness around a multitude of incidents involving the dissemination of explicit content without consent, often referred to as revenge porn. The issue of addressing a specific category of criminal behavior including sexual assault inside the realm of virtual environments has garnered significant public interest within the nation. On April 14, 2022, the government enacted the TPKS Law with the aim of providing legal safeguards for victims. This study is a qualitative research with a juridical-normative approach, focusing on providing a descriptive analysis of the legal safeguards available to victims of revenge pornography, as outlined in the TPKS Law. The findings of this research demonstrate that the TPKS Law offers a favorable indication for the prevention and management of instances of sexual assault in Indonesia, as it establishes legal clarity, safeguards, and support for victims. Nevertheless, it is important to emphasize that the issue of victimization of individuals often persists as a result of law enforcement officers' limited comprehension of sexual assault.

Authors: A.K Siti Nabiha , Mohd Jamal Noriza , M. Rozaidy
Published: June 2024

Purpose: This study seeks to examine implementation barriers to management accounting reporting in the Malaysian public sector. Design/ Methodology/ Approach: A qualitative approach was utilized, wherein interviews were conducted with both accountants and non accountants in two ministries and the Accountant General’s Department of Malaysia (AGD). In addition, documentary reviews related to the management accounting reporting framework and guidelines were analysed. Findings: Implementation barriers related to the current management accounting reporting and analysis were categorised into three primary domains, namely cognitive, technical, and organisational. Cognitive barriers refer to the mindset of accountants and non-accountants about the instrumentality of management accounting reports and the underlying budgetary philosophy of the Malaysian public sector. The organisational barriers are related to coordination among different parties involved due to the fragmentation in managing processes and rules and regulations of management accounting reporting. Meanwhile, technical barriers are defined as insufficient integrated system support in management accounting software, hardware, components, and elements. Originality/ Value: The present study contributed significant insights into the implementation barriers to the management accounting reporting framework by the Malaysian central government.
