Authors: Hersusetiyati Hersusetiyati , Sudrajat Tatang
Published: April 2023

National improvement withinside the monetary field, will boost up the fulfillment of people's welfare. A wholesome monetary lifestyle calls for identical possibilities for residents to do commercial enterprise. The coverage of prohibiting monopoly and unfair commercial enterprise opposition is a strategic remember for the countrywide economy. The established order of the Business Competition Supervisory Commission (KPPU) with state/authority’s policies is an essential step in the direction of monetary democratization. Using normative juridical strategies and literature, it seems that the choice of the state/authorities through issuing Law Number five of 1999, Government Regulation Number forty four of 2021, and Presidential Decree Number seventy five of 1999 is a public coverage concerning the essential function of KPPU and the prohibition of monopolistic practices and unfair commercial enterprise opposition. This is an important basis for the KPPU's determination of operational policies. There are arrangements for KPPU's organizational dimensions in the three regulations, namely objectives, formalization, standardization, hierarchy of authority, specialization, professionalism, and organizational size, some of which are not regulated adequately. This will determine the effectiveness of the implementation of its duties and authorities as a supervisory agency. KPPU is also faced with challenges and political contexts that are not easily aligned with the independent nature of its organization. In the context of democracy, KPPU needs to strengthen its position by continuously improving the quality of its performance. It is necessary to improve several dimensions of the KPPU's organization in the regulations that govern it.

Published: April 2023

In the current research work, an attempt was made to synthesize silver nanoparticles (MA-AgNPs) utilizing the ripened fruit extract of Melia azedarach. Various characterization techniques such as UV-visible spectroscopic analysis, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to confirm the AgNPs synthesis. The bioreduction and color changes were tracked by UV-visible spectroscopy while SEM confirmed AgNPs of size 2–60 nm. TGA revealed the stability of the synthesized AgNPs. The antibacterial potential of the M. azedarach-based AgNPs and the fruit extract was assessed in terms of zone of inhibition (ZI), minimum bactericidal concentration, and minimum inhibitory concentration against tested bacterial strains where higher activity was noted for NPs (P. aeruginosa ZI = 22). The 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and (2,2-azinobis-[3-ethylbenzthiazoline]-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) assays revealed that NPs have significant antioxidant activities. The IC50 values recorded for extract was 340 and 350 μg·mL−1 against DPPH and ABTS whereas the corresponding values obtained for AgNPs were 40 and 58 μg·mL−1, respectively. The study suggests that the engineered NPs have promising biological activities compared to the parental extract, and thus could be used in drug designing as antibacterial and antioxidant agents; however, there should be further in vivo exploration in this regard before extending their uses to biological systems.

Nanomedicine sheds new light on cancer immunotherapy
Authors: Yu Yingying , Feng Liangzhu , Liu Zhuang
Published: April 2023

Cancer immunotherapy comprising of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy, immune cell therapies, cancer vaccines and many others represents a profound arsenal in the fight against different types of cancers. However, their overall clinical objective response rates, particularly against most solid tumors, are still not sufficient owing to a variety of reasons including the heterogenous expression of tumor antigens, limited tumor infiltration of effector immune cells, acquired tumor immunosuppression and some other factors. In recent years, various nanomedicine strategies have been proposed to assist cancer immunotherapy via distinct mechanisms, presenting new promises in many published studies. This perspective will thus provide a brief overview regarding the development of nanomedicine platforms for improving cancer immunotherapy.
Applicability of a deformation dilatometer for short time creep experiments of magnesium alloys
Authors: Nietsch Jürgen A. , Papenberg Nikolaus P. , Cerny Angelika , Ott Alois C. , Grabner Florian , Gneiger Stefan
Published: April 2023

The creep resistance of light metals is of utmost relevance for application at elevated temperatures. This includes automotive components in power trains, engines, battery casings and transmission housings. The alloy design of temperature resistant light alloys for these applications depends heavily on the timely determination of the creep behavior. However, specialized facilities and testing equipment are required to perform creep experiments, which are not available in all labs. In contrast, deformation dilatometers are state-of-the-art at most research facilities with a metal forming department. These instruments can apply a constant force at high temperatures and are therefore, in principle, able to conduct creep experiments. To validate the applicability of such a deformation dilatometer for the development of magnesium alloys, short time creep experiments were conducted and compared with results from a standardized creep stand. Good agreement between the dilatometer and conventional constant force creep experiments was found. In this work, both methods are described in detail and possible limitations are discussed.
Bedarfskonzepte und Gerechtigkeitsvorstellungen bei Mitarbeitenden örtlicher Sozialverwaltungen
Authors: Dietrich Brian , Schnapp Kai-Uwe
Published: April 2023

Das Ausüben von Ermessen ist allgegenwärtiger Bestandteil der Arbeit von Mitarbeitenden deutscher Sozialverwaltungen. Beim Ausfüllen der Handlungsspielräume, die Gesetze und Verordnungen lassen, greifen Mitarbeitende bei der Ermessensausübung mit Notwendigkeit auf eigene Norm- und Wertvorstellungen zurück. Auf der Basis von 37 qualitativen Interviews mit Mitarbeitenden deutscher Jobcenter beantworten wir die Frage, welche individuellen Vorstellungen von Bedarf und Unterstützungswürdigkeit die normative Basis bilden, die die genannten Ermessensentscheidungen beeinflussen. Wir zeigen, dass die Bedarfsvorstellungen der Mitarbeitenden von einer rudimentären Grundversorgung bis hin zur Sicherung einer umfassenden Teilhabe am gesellschaftlichen Leben reichen. Eine umfassende gesellschaftliche Unterstützung bei der Deckung dieser Bedarfe wird von einem Teil der Mitarbeitenden als bedingungsloses Grundrecht angesehen, andere knüpfen die Gewährung von Unterstützungsleistungen hingegen an weitreichende Bedingungen der Unterstützungswürdigkeit.

COMPARATIVE INVESTIGATION OF THE USE OF STEROL COMPOSITION, ECN42 DIFFERENCE AND FTIR SPECTROSCOPY IN THE DETERMINATION OF VIRGIN OLIVE OIL ADULTERATION
Authors: KARACAN Ebru , ÖZDİKİCİERLER Onur , YEMİŞÇİOĞLU Fahri
Published: April 2023

Due to its high price and consumer demand, virgin olive oil is an essential product vulnerable to deception for unfair economic gain. In our research, sunflower, palm olein and cottonseed oil were used as adulterants in different amounts for the preparation of adulterated samples. Sterol composition, the difference in theoretical and actual equivalent carbon number 42 triglycerides (ΔECN42) value and FTIR spectra were used to classify the adulterated and virgin olive oil samples. Decision trees on Δ7-stigmastenol and campesterol allowed the detection of 10% and higher adulteration. ΔECN42 ad FTIR provided good detection of the adulterated samples, even for the mixed oils at 1% concentration. However, the detecting performance of the FTIR decreased as the virgin olive oil sample set expanded with different seasons and varieties. Correct multivariate approach and FTIR data selection significantly influence the performance of FTIR spectroscopy for detecting VOO adulteration.

Authors: Feldvari Kristina
Published: April 2023

Cilj. Rad obrađuje problematiku očemnosti kao središnjeg pojma u području sadržajne organizacije znanja i informacija i kao prvog koraka u postupku označivanja predmeta ili teme dokumenta. Očemnost (o čemu, engl. about -ness) se odnosi na određivanje onoga o čemu dokument govori, što dokument pokriva, odnosno što mu je predmet ili tema. Cilj je rada ponuditi definiciju, tipologiju i razumijevanje koncepta očemnosti, kao i opis postojećih postupaka i metoda njegova određivanja.
Pristup i metodologija. U ovom je radu korištena metoda detaljnog pregleda i analize literature iz područja predmetnog označivanja. Dodatno, kod preglednih radova na temu očemnosti korištena je i metoda praćenja citiranih radova (engl. footnote chasing), kao i radova koji su citirali promatrani pregledni rad (engl. citation searching).
Rezultati. Kao rezultat pregleda literature utvrđeno je nekoliko praktičnih metoda za određivanje očemnosti koje su dali autori Joudrey, Wilson, Langridge i Taylor te nekoliko različitih pristupa i problema koji se mogu pojaviti tijekom tog postupka.
Originalnost/vrijednost. Krajnji je cilj dobivene spoznaje i rezultate oprimjeriti kroz njihovu praktičnu primjenu u svakodnevnom životu.

Published: April 2023

This article discusses two doctors who were directors at Kudus Hospital, Cornelis van Proosdij, and Loekmono Hadi. Both are government doctors, but both come from different colleges. Van Proosdij is a doctor who graduated from a European university. In contrast, Loekmono graduated from the School tot Opleiding Van Indische Artsen (STOVIA) in the Dutch East Indies, which is considered a different degree. Both also have other characteristics; Van Proosdij is attached to his colonialism, while Loekmono is classified as a nationalist. By using the historical method, this research uses a lot of archival sources and newspaper news published at that time. Specifically related to Loekmono, his research is also equipped with interviews with his children, so the data is more extensive, and the review is longer. The results of this study indicate that these two figures, although their characteristics are different, are still loved by the community. Another similarity is that both of them are victims of the political situation.Keywords: Hospital, Kudus Regency, Proosdij, Loekmono Hadi, Colonialists, Nationalists. Artikel ini membahas tentang dua orang dokter yang menjabat sebagai direktur di RS Kudus, Cornelis van Proosdij dan Loekmono Hadi.

The Existence of Women Diamond Miners in Pumpung, South Kalimantan, XX-XXI Century
Authors: Subroto Wisnu , Prawitasari Melisa , Handy Muhammad Rezky Noor
Published: April 2023

The stereotypes of people in rural and urban areas since the days of the kingdoms in the archipelago until the early days of Indonesian independence show a dichotomy of work between women and men. However, since Indonesia was in the New Order era, this stereotype began to fade, and there was a process of equality between women and men in all fields. In South Kalimantan, women started working in traditional mines, especially the diamond mine in Pumpung, Sungai Tiung Village, Cempaka District, Banjarbaru City. The data were collected and arranged chronologically according to the time of the incident by way of interviews and searching for documents or archives stored as records. The research results chronologically describe the journey of women's struggle through its historical process interestingly. The existence of women being equal to men continues to this day in the traditional diamond mining sector in Pumpung, Banjarbaru. Women began to work in jobs that required solid physical stamina to show that they were as capable as men in the work they had been doing for a long time, especially those recorded in the XX-XXI centuries. In conclusion, the role of women can no longer be underestimated, which is only as a housewife. Here the role of women becomes double; apart from being housewives, they are also partners equal to men.Keywords: Diamond miners, female miners, South Kalimantan Stereotip masyarakat dipedesaan maupun diperkotaan sejak zaman kerajaan-kerajaan di nusantara sampai zaman awal kemerdekaan Indonesia menunjukkan dikotomi pekerjaan antara perempuan dan laki-laki. Akan tetapi, sejak Indonesia di masa orde baru, stereotip ini mulai pudar dan terjadi proses kesetaraan antara perempuan dan laki-laki dalam segala bidang. Di Kalimantan Selatan, perempuan mulai bekerja di tambang tradisional khususnya tambang intan di Pumpung Kelurahan Sungai Tiung, Kecamatan Cempaka, Kota Banjarbaru. Data-data dikumpulkan dan disusun secara kronologis sesuai waktu kejadian dengan cara wawancara, dan pencarian dokumen atau arsip yang disimpan seperti catatan. Hasil penelitian secara kronologis menggambarkan secara menarik perjalanan perjuangan perempuan melalui proses menyejarahnya. Eksistensi perempuan untuk setara dengan kaum laki-laki terus berlanjut sampai sekarang ini di bidang penambangan intan secara tradisional yang ada di pumpung, Banjarbaru. Pekerjaan yang memerlukan stamina fisik yang kuat mulai digeluti kaum perempuan untuk menunjukkan bahwa mereka mampu seperti kaum laki-laki pekerjaan yang mereka geluti dari lama terutama yang terekam pada abad ke XX-XXI. Kesimpulannya peran perempuan tidak bisa lagi dipandang sebelah mata, yang hanya sebagai ibu rumah tangga. Disini peran perempuan menjadi ganda, selain sebagai ibu rumah tangga juga menjadi mitra kerja yang setara dengan kaum laki-laki.Kata Kunci: Penambang intan, Perempuan penambang intan, Kalimantan Selatan.

Reference Structure “pan / pani + imię” in Periodical Texts Published in Polish in Ukraine
Authors: Kravchuk Alla
Published: April 2023

The article’s author analyzes the function of the reference structure „pan / pani + imię” in the information texts of the Polish-language press in Ukraine in the first twenty years of the 21st century. The research shows that in the intentions of the speakers representing local Polish communities, the functions of these structures are always related to the expression of politeness. That is, the “scheme of title deprivation” characteristic of the general Polish language is not realized by adding the words “pan” or “pani” to the proper name in the narrative text. The members of the local Polish community, irrespective of their status, are the most numerous group of speakers using the analyzed structure. The reader, a member of the local community, perceives these forms as polite, and the external recipient may interpret them as violating the language etiquette (inappropriate, too familiar), especially if the hero of the statement is a Pole from Poland or a well-known person with high status.
Creation and Analysis of Corpus of Short Prose by Latvian Women Writers
Authors: Kārkla Zita , Matulis Haralds
Published: April 2023

The article aims to present the creation of the text corpus of short prose by Latvian women writers and a pilot study on the distribution of body words in the corpus. The corpus development is a part of the research process, which aligns with the goals and perspectives of feminist literary history. First, the paper introduces the design of the corpus. Consisting of 259 texts, published between 1893 and 2002, it is the first literary corpus focusing on Latvian women writers and on short prose. Given that short forms have long dominated women’s prose, this focus was a conscious decision to highlight women’s contribution to writing. Further, the article presents the methods of distant reading that were applied to identify the distribution of body words in the texts. The desire to reintroduce women into the history of literature has also led to a focus on the body. While writing is mediated through the body, it is also a space to explore and take possession of the body. Finally, by combining the results of distant reading with examples of close reading, the distribution of body words in different periods is compared.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the in-hospital mortality rate related to complications of hypertension in Goma. Material and methods: We conducted a retrospective and analytical study during the study period from 1st January 2020 to 31st December 2021. We assessed in-hospital mortality among patients admitted for hypertension-related complications in 8 hospitals in Goma, the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We modeled the probability of death using stepwise logistic regression. Results: Of 485 hypertensive patients (mean age: 60.57 years; 221 women), 67 (13.8%) were unaware that they had hypertension. Among 418 conscious patients (86.2%), 25 (6.0%) were not taking antihypertensive medication. During the 15 days (median) of hospitalization, 181 deaths (37.2%) occurred. The multivariate adjusted probability of death increased with comorbidities: heart failure (adjusted OR=4.1; 95% CI: 1.76-10.8), chronic renal failure (adjusted OR= 5.43; 95% CI: 1.97-17.8), and cerebrovascular complications of hypertension (adjusted OR=2.14; 95% CI: 1.28-3.61). Conclusion: In-hospital mortality of African patients hospitalized for hypertension-related disorders in Goma is above 30%. These results highlight that screening and treatment of hypertension and prevention of cardiovascular disease should be much higher on the political agenda in sub-Saharan Africa.

Epicardial Fat in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction: Bad Actor or Just Lying Around?
Authors: Oduah Mary-Tiffany , Sundaram Varun , Reddy Yogesh NV
Published: April 2023

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is increasingly recognised to be strongly associated with obesity and abnormalities in fat distribution. Epicardial fat has been associated with abnormal haemodynamics in HFpEF, with potential for direct mechanical effects on the heart causing constriction-like physiology and local myocardial remodelling effects from secretion of inflammatory and profibrotic mediators. However, patients with epicardial fat generally have more systemic and visceral adipose tissue making determination of causality between epicardial fat and HFpEF complex. In this review, we will summarise the evidence for epicardial fat being either directly causal in HFpEF pathogenesis or merely being a correlate of worse systemic inflammatory and generalised adiposity. We will also discuss therapies that directly target epicardial fat and may have potential for treating HFpEF and elucidating the independent role of epicardial fat in its pathogenesis.

Several estimation techniques have been developed during the last seven decades. Traditional regression-based is the most often estimation method used in the literature. The generation of models needs a reference database, which is usually a wedge-shaped dataset when real projects are considered. The use of regression-based estimation techniques provides low accuracy with this type of database. Objective: Evaluate and provide an alternative to the general practice of using regression-based models, looking if smooth curve methods and variable selection and regularization methods provide better reliability of the estimations based on the wedge-shaped form databases. Method: A previous study used a reference database with a wedge-shaped form to build a regression-based estimating model. This paper utilizes smooth curve methods and variable selection and regularization methods to build estimation models, providing an alternative to linear regression models. Results: The results show the improvement in the estimation results when smooth curve methods and variable selection and regularization methods are used against regression-based models when wedge-shaped form databases are considered. For example, GAM with all the variables show that the R-squared is for Effort: 0.6864 and for Cost: 0.7581; the MMRE is for Effort: 0.1095 and for Cost: 0.0578. The results for the GAM with LASSO show that the R-squared is for Effort: 0.6836 and for Cost: 0.7519; the MMRE is for Effort: 0.1105 and for Cost: 0.0585. In comparison to the R-squared is for Effort: 0.6790 and for Cost: 0.7540; the MMRE is for Effort: 0.1107 and for Cost: 0.0582 while using MLR.

Na presente pesquisa, teve-se como objetivo investigar a ocorrência de dificuldades e distúrbios de aprendizagem em uma turma de alunos do 2º ano do ensino fundamental, bem como investigar se os encaminhamentos realizados pela escola para profissionais especializados foram concretizados pelas famílias dos alunos com dificuldades e distúrbios de aprendizagem. O estudo realizado tem caráter qualitativo, e a técnica de pesquisa utilizada foi a pesquisa-ação. A pesquisa foi realizada em uma turma de 2° ano do ensino fundamental de uma escola Municipal de Santa Maria/RS. Os pais ou responsáveis pelos alunos também participaram do estudo. Foram convidados a responder um questionário sobre questões referentes ao desenvolvimento da criança. O resultado do estudo demonstrou que mais da metade da turma tinha dificuldade e distúrbio de aprendizagem e que a maioria das famílias não levaram o filho à consulta com psicopedagogo ao qual o filho foi encaminhado pela escola, o que ocorreu pelo desconhecimento da importância da ajuda de um profissional especializado ou por fatores familiares que, no momento, impediram de dar maior atenção à criança. Portanto, destaca-se a importância de os professores terem sensibilidade para perceberem as dificuldades apresentadas pelos alunos e criarem uma relação de troca com as famílias, possibilitando que ações sejam colocadas em prática na tentativa de oferecer aos educandos possibilidades para superarem suas dificuldades de aprendizagem.

Published: April 2023

The main goal of this paper is to provide a preliminary examination of the vulgar Latin grammatical gender system. The inscriptional evidence is studied closely to achieve this goal, this way the broad structure of the loss of the neuter can be observed and previously unknown dialectical differences can be discovered. Having done this groundwork further studies can investigate this material more thoroughly, and with a better understanding of the general features.
Method of calculation of three-layer plates with discrete joint
Authors: Rajczyk Marlena
Published: April 2023

The paper presents the basic principles of static calculations of plates with discrete filling–ribs; the method is based on the analytical solution of the problem of the stress state of a ribbed plate. The bottom line is to use special discontinuous functions at the stage of writing the initial assumptions of differential equations, as well as in the process of solving them due to the nature and physical meaning of the problem.

Published: April 2023

Visegrád is one of the smallest towns in Hungary with 1800 inhabitants, which was given the status of town because of its historical importance. Archaeological excavations revealed the remains of the medieval town's former main square and the surrounding buildings. Based on the archeological research the new town center was designed by the A+ Architect Studio and won the Pro Architectura and ICOMOS awards in 2016. Years later the need arose to expand the Áprily Lajos Primary School, which is located next to the site, and to accommodate new classrooms, special training rooms, and music school practice rooms in a new, modern building. The new three-story school building on the street frontage was constructed on the former place of a century-old, dilapidated building and was also designed by A+ Architect Studio.
"The Fake"
Authors: Engmann Rachel Ama Asaa
Published: April 2023

Inspired by a conversation with Doran Ross (1947–2020), a leading African art scholar and curator who revolutionized the field of African art, this article discusses the adventures of fieldwork – in particular, its unpredictable nature. More specifically, it presents my experiences conducting an archaeological ethnography of nineteenth-century Islamic talismans in Asante (Ghana), and the matter of the “fake”. Islamic talismans comprise inscriptions written directly onto paper, folded, encased in a string binding, and sewn into small leather or silver pouches, to be worn, hung, and/or buried. Engaging artifacts, texts, and their stories passed down through the generations, I studied Islamic talismans together with their owners and/or custodians, most of whom were unaware of their contents until we examined them together. In this article, I reveal how on one occasion, we examined a talisman that was different. Ostensibly the “genuine” article, this simulated object emulated talismans’ outwardly material features, but instead contained a small piece of wood rather than paper inscriptions.

Abstract Milk and its derivatives are rich in nutrients and widely consumed by the population. However, the presence of chemical residues is frequent in these products. This study aimed to carry out a diagnosis of the use of antibacterials and evaluate the knowledge about these drugs and behaviors adopted by dairy producers in Goiás, Brazil. A total of 286 dairy farms in 36 municipalities in the State were visited and interviews were conducted with the owner or auxiliary workforce. The questions addressed the production parameters of the property and the use of antibacterials. The answers were presented in percentages and graphs. Statistical analysis was performed using Pearson’s chi-square test at a 5% significance level. Only 26.2% of the producers used antibacterials indicated by veterinarians and all producers (100%) disposed of milk with residues inappropriately. Tetracycline and penicillin were the most used among the 21 cited active principles. Enteritis (22.1%), cattle tick fever (21.1%), and mastitis (19.4%) were the main diseases treated with antibacterials. A total of 37.4% of respondents were unable to distinguish antibacterials from other drugs. Moreover, the more specialized the farm, the greater the veterinary assistance and the greater the care for antibacterial treatments. Most respondents (51.7%) had incomplete elementary education. These results provide important information about how rural producers in the State of Goiás use antibacterials and serve as a basis for future interventions. The need for greater access by producers to veterinary services in Goiás is evident to reduce the unnecessary and inappropriate use of antibacterials.

Abstract This cross-sectional study compared the indicative of Muscle dysmorphia in CrossFit athletes. Participants were 276 male and female CrossFit athletes with an average age of 28.56 ± 8.08 years. A questionnaire was used with questions about age, practice time and frequency of Crossfit practice, as well as the questionnaire of the Adonis complex. Data analysis was conducted through Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Mann-Whitney tests, and Spearman correlation (p<0.05). The adopted significance was p<0.05. The results showed that men obtained higher indicative of muscle dysmorphia in comparison to women as well as competitive athletes showed higher score than recreational athletes (p<0.05). It was found significant (p<0.05) and negative correlation of the indicative of muscle dysmorphia with training frequency (Rho=-0.51) among recreational athletes, and positive correlation (Rho=0.19) among competitors. It is concluded that being male and having a competitive profile are actors in the presence of Muscle dysmorphia in CrossFit athletes.

Abstract Leaf anatomical features are widely used to better understand angiosperm taxonomy. However, such information is scarce for the family Myrtaceae. Aiming to fill this knowledge gap, we studied anatomical and micromorphological leaf characters of ten species of Psidium: P. cattleyanum, P. cauliflorum, P. corynanthum, P. guajava, P. guineense, P. macahense, P. myrtoides, P. oligospermum, P. ovale and P. sartorianum. Uniseriate epidermis, paracytic stomata, secretory cavities, and adaxial hypodermis are common among the studied species and are typical characteristics of Myrtaceae. The presence of three or more layers of palisade parenchyma and the absence of sclerenchyma are diagnostic characters of P. guajava. The abaxial epidermis of Psidium cattleyanum and P. macahense possess curved walls. Psidium corynanthum and P. macahense are the only species with sinuous anticlinal walls on both sides of the epidermis, with all other species having straight or curved walls. Open bicollateral vascular bundles are present in all the studied species except P. guineense. With the exception of P. cauliflorum, all the studied species possess druses. The absence of collenchyma in the adaxial face is exclusive to P. ovale. The leaf anatomy of P. macahense, P. corynanthum, P. oligospermum and P. ovale are described for the first time here.

Transport of heavy metal contaminants in a composite liner under non-isothermal condition
Authors: Jiang W. , Ge S. , Feng C. , Li J.
Published: April 2023

A mathematical model for the transport of heavy metal contaminants (HMCs) in a triple-layer composite liner with defective geomembrane under the non-isothermal condition is developed in this study, where the GMB/GCL/CCL (geomembrane, geosynthetic clay liner and compacted clay liner) composite liner is adopted as an example and the Langmuir adsorption model is incorporated. The proposed model is solved by the finite difference approach, and its correctness is validated by comparison with the experimental results, an existing analytical solution and another numerical method. Later, the transport behaviours of HMCs are explored with the established model. Compared with the isothermal condition, the non-isothermal condition enlarges the transport flux, but also reduces the concentration of HMCs. The relative concentration based on the Langmuir adsorption model is higher than that based on the linear adsorption model, which is related to the decrease of the retardation factor under the Langmuir adsorption model. Furthermore, the parametric study shows that when the leachate head  ht is between 1.0 and 3.0 m, the defined breakthrough time tb increases by about 1.57 a with the increase of GCL thickness lg by 1 cm, and the tb increases by about 9.07 a with the increase of CCL thickness lc by 0.1 m.
