Published: May 2024

Abstract: This project addresses the critical challenge of plant disease detection in India, a nation where agriculture supports nearly 70% of the population. Traditional procedures for identifying plant diseases are both labor-intensive and time-consuming. To enhance efficiency and accuracy, this project introduces an innovative approach that integrates machine learning and image processing techniques. By analyzing images of leaves, the system identifies diseases based on key factors such as leaf color, damage extent, area, and texture parameters. Unlike conventional methods that depend on visual inspections or chemical processes, this automated system provides a cost-effective and efficient solution for monitoring extensive crop fields. By leveraging statistical machine learning and advanced image processing algorithms, the proposed solution ensures precise disease detection with minimized computational complexity and reduced prediction time
POTENSI BIODIESEL SEBAGAI BAHAN BAKAR ALTERNATIF DI PABRIK PENGOLAHAN KARET REMAH
Authors: Eka Pranata Dina , Hanifarianty Sherly
Published: May 2024

Energi merupakan kebutuhan esensial dalam produksi karet remah. Baik itu untuk menggerakkan mesin dan proses pengeringan. Pabrik karet saat ini memakai listrik dari PLN dan genset solar, serta beragam sumber energi untuk pengeringan seperti genset solar, batu bara, dan cangkang sawit. Pertimbangan dalam pemilihan sumber energi meliputi biaya, ketersediaan, kemudahan operasi, dan dampak lingkungan. Batu bara murah dan tersedia tapi menghasilkan fly ash dan gas berbahaya. Biomasa cangkang sawit lebih murah dan ramah lingkungan tetapi memiliki tantangan dalam suplai dan penyimpanan. Sedangkan solar industri ketersediaannya sudah terbatas. Listrik PLN masih menjadi pilihan terbaik untuk digunakan dalam proses produksi namun di beberapa daerah sering terjadi pemadaman listrik. Oleh sebab itu, dibutuhkan energi alternatif untuk menjaga kestabilan produksi. Regulasi juga mendorong penggunaan biodiesel (B30), yang meski lebih mahal, namun lebih berkelanjutan dan mendukung upaya pengurangan emisi. Penerapan teknologi rendah karbon dan energi terbarukan di industri karet menunjukkan komitmen terhadap lingkungan dan keberlanjutan.

El conjunto zooarqueológico, con gran representación de restos de individuos de diferentes sexos y edades de Arctocephalus australis y de Otaria flavescens, refuerza las afirmaciones previas sobre la explotación de asentamientos de otáridos en la localidad. Otros taxones, como los cetáceos, el zorro colorado, el guanaco, los cormoranes imperiales, el ñandú y el cauquén común, están representados en menor cantidad y fueron aprovechados de manera oportunista. La tecnología ósea fue confeccionada en el lugar, con huesos de la fauna registrada en el conjunto zooarqueológico, con excepción de un asta de huemul aserrada. El conjunto de instrumentos óseos y líticos incluye piezas vinculadas con sistemas de armas apropiados para la caza de las especies registradas en el depósito. A partir de la evidencia de P 35, Punta Entrada aparece como un sector costero recurrentemente visitado, que habría funcionado no sólo como lugar de aprovisionamiento planificado de recursos animales muy productivos y con localizaciones conocidas (los otáridos), sino que también brindaba posibilidades de acceso a aquéllos obtenidos de manera oportunista, pero con alto potencial como insumos para la subsistencia humana.
Tools for automated circuiting of large vertical borehole fields â€“ a preliminary investigation
Authors: West Timothy N. , Spitler Jeffrey D.
Published: May 2024

Recent developments in automated vertical borehole ground heat exchanger design tools can reduce the required engineering time and improve the resulting ground heat exchanger designs by taking full advantage of available property. However, current practice when designing irregularly shaped borefields is to minimize the total drilling rather than the installation cost or life cycle cost of the system. Total drilling can serve as a proxy for total installation cost, but neglecting the cost of horizontal piping and trenching may be misleading in some circumstances. This paper describes the initial development of a tool to estimate the installation cost of a ground heat exchanger corresponding to an arbitrary borefield. To complete this task, the design tool automatically determines the trenching network and pipe network required to connect the boreholes and heat pump of the ground heat exchanger, sizes the pipes in the pipe system to meet given hydraulic constraints, and then estimates the installation cost from the resulting trench and pipe network.||The trench and pipe network synthesis consists of a hierarchical k-means clustering algorithm which groups boreholes into individual vaults then circuits. Circuits are separated into groups so that their pipe systems can be routed through a handful of vaults. From this grouping, a trenching network is created with a pathing algorithm, shortest path algorithm, and minimum spanning tree algorithm. Together, these algorithms form a trench network that can stay within irregularly shaped property boundaries, avoid user-defined obstructions, and produce a trench network without a large surplus of extra trenching. The pipe network is created with the trench network, the borehole grouping, and user-given network type (i.e., direct return, reverse return, etc.).

Load aggregation for thermal interactions between boreholes
Authors: Cimmino Massimo , Lazzarotto Alberto
Published: May 2024

A load aggregation method is proposed for efficient simulations with multiple boreholes using network-based simulation methods. The method splits fast and slow dynamics. Fast dynamics, i.e., the impact of boreholes on themselves, are solved every timestep using available load aggregation methods. Slow dynamics, i.e., heat interactions between heat sources, are solved at a lower frequency by introducing a time delay in the update of their calculation. A first order correction term is proposed to estimate the variation of temperatures in-between updates. The error caused by the delayed update depends on the distance between the boreholes and the frequency of updates; more distanced boreholes can use a lower frequency of updates to achieve acceptable accuracy. A 20-year hourly simulation of two interacting bore fields showed that a maximum error of 0.003°C on the inlet fluid temperatures can be obtained while decreasing the calculation time from 275s to 26.2s.
Quantification of losses from borehole thermal energy storage through distributed temperature sensing and numerical modelling
Authors: Kvalsvik K. H. , Ramstad R. K. , Holmberg H. , Kocbach J. M.
Published: May 2024

Borehole Thermal Energy Storage (BTES) is a successful technology for storing and supplying heat and cooling for buildings and industry. The losses from the storage can be drastically reduced by changes in design and operation. According to Fourierâ€™s law of conduction, heat losses are proportional to the thermal gradient. The thermal gradient in five boreholes within a BTES in southern Norway, constructed in granite, was measured using Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS). The measurements show that the downwards losses are linearly proportional to the temperature level in the BTES as expected, but also that the linear relationship shifts towards lower losses for the same temperature level as the ground is heated. After a half year of operation, the losses are approximately 50% lower than those in the first heating season, which had measured temperatures of about 35Â°C.||Modeling of the BTES shows that the conductive losses can be reduced if as much heat as possible is injected in the center versus if even heat injection is used. The outwards losses cannot be directly estimated from DTS results unless the BTES has been unused for at least 12 hours, due to the close relationship between borehole temperature and recent heat injection.
On the enhanced multipole method and its term-by-term convergence to the classical multipole method in the limit of vanishing thermal inertia
Authors: Hermanns Miguel , Rivero Juan Manuel
Published: May 2024

Thermal inertia of the grout and of the ground located close to the borehole play an important role in the thermal response of geothermal boreholes to rapidly varying heating and cooling needs in buildings. The classical multipole method, developed by Bennet, Claesson, and HellstrÃ¶m in the 1980s, does not consider that thermal inertia, which is why the enhanced multipole method was recently proposed by the authors. The present work gives an overview of the fundamental ideas behind the enhanced multipole method, of its term-by-term convergence to the classical multipole method in the limit of vanishing thermal inertia, and of its performance in a numerical example.
Dynamic modeling of intermediate depth geothermal systems
Authors: Gascuel Violaine , Raymond Jasmin , Rivard Christine
Published: May 2024

A code was developed to couple numerical models of geothermal doublets and deep borehole heat exchangers (DBHE) with a simple model for heat pumps, responding to a monthly demand for heating and cooling a building. The objective was to compare the performance of systems repurposing one or two idle gas wells to install a DBHE or a doublet to heat a greenhouse. Both systems incorporate several heat pumps, activated or deactivated according to the building energy demand, with the fluid flow rate varied to adapt production to demand. The results suggest that, theoretically, the doublet could supply more heat than the DBHE. Specifically, the doublet could heat a 6950 m2 greenhouse and provide ~70% of the peak demand, while the DBHE would only heat a 2560 m2 greenhouse with the same coverage of peak demand. However, a preliminary cost analysis indicates that installing and operating a doublet over 30 years would cost almost twice as much as a DBHE, which should be considered in the decision-making process.
Numerical characterization of the thermal performance of horizontal geo-exchange pipes

Published: May 2024

Ground source heat pump systems offer efficient and sustainable heating and cooling solutions; however, traditional vertical boreholes involve high capital costs associated with drilling, hindering widespread adoption. Recent research introduces a novel approach by integrating geothermal heat exchangers into steel helical piles within building foundations, known as "Geo-Piles." These devices, extending typically 50 ft to 100 ft into the ground, serve a dual purpose (structural and thermal) and show promise as cost-effective alternatives. Further advancements explore the use of plastic as a casing material, for thermal-only systems, enhancing affordability and enabling standalone system deployment without relying on extensive new construction projects. This paper investigates plastic geo-exchange pipes (PGEPs), designed similarly to Geo-Piles, aiming to reduce costs by implementing a horizontal installation method at depths comparable to other forms of linear utility infrastructure. Numerical modeling was employed to assess the system's performance at three depthsâ€”15 ft, 18 ft, and 21 ft and was then compared to a vertical configuration. The results indicate that with every additional 3 feet of depth in the horizontal configuration, there is an enhancement in capacity of 0.5 tons for every 200 feet of PGEP. Moreover, the 18-ft configuration exhibits exceptional thermal performance while simultaneously reducing installation space and potentially meeting permit requirements, showcasing its potential as an economical and efficient solution in the realm of ground source heat pump systems.
The elusive role of aseismic slip along a seaward dipping normal fault in the indirect triggering of a normal faulting earthquake sequence in northeast Japan following the 2011 Tohoku-Oki megathrust

Published: May 2024

Although blind normal faults are common in subduction environments,
their rheology, kinematics and interaction with the upper crust are
poorly constrained. A month-long shallow normal faulting sequence in the
Ibaraki-Fukushima prefectural border (IFPB), northeast Japan, which
followed the M9.0 Tohoku-Oki earthquake
(TOE) and culminated in the M6.7 Iwaki
earthquake, provides a window into megathrust-to-normal fault
interaction. Stress change calculations indicate that direct triggering
by the TOE co- and post-seismic slip does not provide a plausible
explanation for the IFPB earthquake sequence. In quest for an
alternative triggering mechanism, we analyzed post-TOE GNSS data from
eastern IFPB. A key step in this analysis is the removal of the
large-scale post-TOE displacement field, after which a distinct
highly-localized strain along the coastline becomes apparent. The
accumulation of this strain was mostly aseismic, and migrated with time
prior to the Iwaki earthquake in a manner that correlates well with
post-TOE local seismicity. We attribute the pre-Iwaki earthquake strain
accumulation to aseismic slip along low-angle seaward dipping blind
normal fault, activated by the TOE. Stresses transferred by this slip
episode accelerated the failure along the IFPB shallow normal faults.
This indirect triggering of the Iwaki earthquake sequence by the TOE
highlights the complexity of stress transfers in subduction
environments.
The principal role of chorus ducting for night-side relativistic electron precipitation
Authors: Kang Ning , Artemyev Anton V , Bortnik Jacob , Zhang Xiao-Jia , Angelopoulos Vassilis
Published: May 2024

Night-side chorus waves are often observed during plasma sheet
injections, typically confined around the equator and thus potentially
responsible for precipitation of $\lesssim 100 keV$
electrons. However, recent low-altitude observations have revealed the
critical role of chorus waves in scattering relativistic electrons on
the night-side. This study presents a night-side relativistic electron
precipitation event induced by chorus waves at the strong diffusion
regime, as observed by the ELFIN CubeSats. Through event-based modeling
of wave propagation under ducted or unducted regimes, we show that a
density duct is essential for guiding chorus waves to high latitudes
with minimal damping, thus enabling the strong night-side relativistic
electron precipitation. These findings underline both the existence and
the important role of density ducts in facilitating night-side
relativistic electron precipitation.

Authors: Sfaxi Ridha , Moalla Rihab , Jeribi Aref
Published: May 2024

A pair (u, ?) in X ? X?, where X is an infinite dimensional Banach space and
X? its topological dual space, induces in a natural way two multiplication
operators L?,u and R?,u on the Banach space L(X), defined by L?,u (T) (x)
= ? (T(x)) u, and R?,u (T) (x) = ?(x)T(u), for all T in L(X) and x in X.
In this paper, we present necessary and sufficient conditions for the
compactness, demicompactness, stongly demicompactess, power compactness and
Riesz property of this family of operators. We also establish sufficient
conditions for the quasi-compactness and weak compactness of these
operators. Finally, we show that the Dunford-Pettis property fails for the
Banach space L(X) whenever either X or L(X) is reflexive.

third-order 2 ? 2 block tensor under the C-Product. Firstly, we give the
necessary and sufficient conditions to present some generalized inverses and
the Moore-Penrose inverse of the block tensor in Banachiewicz-Schur forms.
Next, some results are generalized to the group inverse and the Drazin
inverse. Moreover, equivalent conditions for the existence as well as the
expressions for the core inverse of the block tensor are obtained. Finally,
the results are applied to express the quotient property and the first
Sylsvester identity of tensors.

Published: May 2024

Objective Type 2 diabetes is reported to be more common in people living with HIV(PLWH). Clinical guidelines recommend screening for diabetes in PLWH but there is no agreed method due to studies reporting HbA1c is falsely low in PLWH. These studies were performed in the early HIV era when participants were taking older preparations of ART that are rarely used today. We aimed to investigate if HIV serostatus influences HbA1c.

Research Designs and Methods We conducted a prospective cohort study of PLWH and age-and sex-matched HIV-negative participants who were purposely recruited from clinics in Brighton, UK. Each participant wore a Dexcom G6 CGM for up to 10 days, had glucose measured during an OGTT, Fructosamine and paired HbA1c measured. We performed regression analysis to assess the influence of HIV on HbA1c and used a separate model for CGM glucose, venous glucose and Fructosamine. In addition, we included predictor variables used in previous studies that explored HbA1c discrepancy.

Results We recruited 60 PLWH (90% male, 50% with T2DM, mean age[±SD] 57[±10.7] years, 100% undetectable viral load) and 48 people without HIV (92% male, 30% with T2DM, mean age 57.7[±8.9] years). We found that HIV serostatus did not have a significant influence on HbA1c within the regression models.

Conclusion We performed a comprehensive assessment of glycaemia to assess if HIV serostatus influences HbA1c. We did not find any strong evidence that HIV serostatus influenced HbA1c. The results of our study support incorporating HbA1c into routine clinical bloods in PLWH.

Objective: To describe the needs for subacute inpatient rehabilitation and community-based healthcare services, rehabilitation, and social support in patients with moderate-to-severe traumatic injury in the first 6 months post-injury. Further, to explore associations between sociodemographic and clinical characteristics and unmet needs.
Design: Multicentre prospective cohort study.
Subjects: Of 601 persons (75% males), mean (standard deviation) age 47 (21) years, admitted to trauma centres in 2020 with moderate-to-severe injury, 501 patients responded at the 6-month follow-up and thus were included in the analyses.
Methods: Sociodemographic and injury-related characteristics were recorded at inclusion. Estimation of needs was assessed with the Rehabilitation Complexity Scale Extended–Trauma and the Needs and Provision Complexity Scale on hospital discharge. Provision of services was recorded 6 months post-injury. Multivariable logistic regressions explored associations between baseline variables and unmet inpatient rehabilitation and community-based service needs.
Results: In total, 20% exhibited unmet needs for subacute inpatient rehabilitation, compared with 60% for community-based services. Predictors for unmet community-based service needs included residing in less central areas, profound injury severity, severe head injury, and rehabilitation referral before returning home.
Conclusion: Inadequate provision of healthcare and rehabilitation services, particularly in the municipalities, resulted in substantial unmet needs in the first 6 months following injury.
Artificial Intelligence in Dry Eye Disease: Benefits, Challenges and Future Directions
Authors: YTW Carolyn
Published: May 2024

Current Diagnostic Challenges in Dry Eye Disease Dry eye disease (DED) is a challenging condition to pin down, given the various probable aetiologies, signs, and symptoms. DED is characterised by its loss of tear-film homeostasis, ocular surface inflammation, hyperosmolarity, eye discomfort, and visual abnormalities [1]. However, the signs of DED are occasionally inconsistent with the symptoms stated by patients [1]. There is presently no one clinical test that can uniformly pinpoint DED [1]. DED is diagnosed using a variety of subjective tests and symptom questions, including tear breakup time (TBUT), Schirmer's test (ST), fluorescein and lissamine green staining of the corneal (CSS1) and conjunctival surface (CSS2), and the ocular surface disease index (OSDI) [1]. Furthermore, the differentiation of different tear film breakup patterns is thought to be at the centre of a tear film-oriented diagnosis, which helps elucidate the pathophysiology of DED (i.e., identify the insufficient component of the tear film or of the corneal surface epithelium responsible for TFBU), sub classify DED, and select the optimal topical therapy (decide on the most appropriate treatment) [2]. Additionally, although meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is the leading cause of evaporative DED and one of the most common conditions encountered in DED, diagnosing MGD can be difficult due to the non-specific nature of the symptoms and great inter-examiner variability in grading clinical variables associated with MGD [3]. As a result, standardised and universal diagnostic and decision-making tools in DED are highly valued. Artificial intelligence (AI) through machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) has garnered attention in the ophthalmological field, particularly in the screening and diagnosis of retinal and optic nerve conditions [4]. These AI algorithms perform imageintensive analyses on fundus or optical coherence tomography (OCT) images [4]. Similarly, in the current practices of DED, AI is expected to facilitate the data-intensive analysis of DED signs and symptoms when diagnosing, triaging, and managing DED patients.

Published: May 2024

Since birth, humans have human rights that cannot be challenged by anyone. Even when a state is formed with such a system of power, it cannot take away human rights. The rights to life, liberty and property are rights that have been inherent in humans since birth. When humans form a country and use their freedom to elect a few people to be their leaders, these leaders automatically hold the people's mandate to create justice and social prosperity. However, citizens are also free to dismiss a government that acts arbitrarily, for example because it has committed corruption. Corruption is the same as taking away human rights, where funds used for the welfare of the people are taken by the authorities for their personal or group welfare. In this paper the author tries to help minimize social injustice, through the principles of authority and freedom put forward by John Locke and John Stuart Mill. The author will describe several cases of corruption committed by government officials and then help readers on how to take a stance on this corruption phenomenon based on the thoughts of John Locke and John Stuart Mill.

Human rights in the context of women through a philosophical lens brings us into deep reflection about the rights, dignity and role of women in society. In philosophy, women are considered as equal individuals to men, eliminating discrimination based on gender. The concepts of bodily autonomy, reproductive rights, and protection against violence are at the center of ethical and moral debates about women's human rights. Philosophical thinking also emphasizes that women have an active role in raising social and political awareness to achieve gender equality. This involves the moral responsibility and collective action of women in fighting for their rights. Through a philosophical lens, understanding women's human rights encourages us to see women not only as objects receiving rights, but also as subjects who are empowered to shape a more just future. Therefore, the philosophy provides a strong foundation for advocacy for gender equality and social change that is more inclusive and has equal rights to live with dignity and freedom.
Konsep Kebebasan Menurut Will Kymlicka
Authors:   Pascasarjana Seminari Tinggi Santo Fransiskus Xaverius, Ambon, Indonesia, Solilit Fidelis
Published: May 2024

This article talks about Will Kymlicka's concept of freedom. It should be noted that the emergence of Kymlicka's idea of freedom is inseparable from his big theme of "Multiculturalism". Kymlicka defines multiculturalism so that everyone must be treated properly by looking at their rights, because everyone has freedom both individually and in groups that are reflected in culture. For this reason, the most basic thing emphasized by Kymlicka is freedom. What kind of freedom does she offer? Kymlicka divides freedom into liberalism and individual freedom. As well as freedom in the context of culture. Therefore, I see that in reality everyone, be it from ethnicity, race, and so on, has the same rights. Free to express their opinions without any pressure from any party or group. The emergence of this concept was caused by the injustice experienced by Canadian society at that time. The issue raised is how Kymlicka strives for equality in everyone individually, as well as in groups. This means that everyone must receive the same treatment without discriminating between one group and another. Freedom means that there is an attitude of acceptance within each individual. The author will discuss why Will Kymlicka sees freedom as one of the most concerned ideas, in impacting the cultures of each ethnic group, race and so on.
Manusia dan Kehancurannya: Sebuah Tinjauan Reflektif atas Filsafat Jean Paul Sartre
Authors:   Fakultas Teologi, Universitas Sanata Dharma, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, Mamput Yulianus Gunawan
Published: May 2024

This paper explores the relationship between humanity and violence. Violence is often the result of a failure to promote empathy and solidarity. This is exemplified by the Holocaust and the New Order regime in Indonesia. The paper highlights the complex nature of human emancipation and emphasizes the importance of considering the well-being of others as well as one's own self. The concept of emancipation is evident in the philosophies of notable figures including Descartes, Kant, Marx, and Comte. Sartre, too, advocated for humanist freedom, but conceded that unlimited freedom can lead to egoism. This paper will center on the ideas of Jean-Paul Sartre, ultimately concluding that the destruction of humanity can be traced back to anthropological and social aspects of society.
INTER-REGIONAL EUROPEAN COOPERATION. MECHANISMS, OPPORTUNITIES, AND BENEFITS OF DIALOGUES BETWEEN REGIONAL ACTORS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE 20212027 COHESION POLICY
Authors:   Babeș-Bolyai University, STRETEA Andreea
Published: May 2024

The main problem when discussing cohesion policy is its results are challenging to measure. Even if, for almost thirty years’ community action tried to solve regional disparities, considerable differences between certain parts of the European Union still exist nowadays. Therefore, the future purpose of territorial cooperation should be to support joint initiatives that establish cross-border and transnational network cooperation. This paper aims to determine the importance of inter-regional cooperation to increase the Cohesion Policy’s performance. We would try to show that the regions facing the most significant difficulties in identifying comparative advantages and generating innovative specialization strategies either lack the historical or traditional basis for regional projects or do not have structures to represent them inter-regional dialogues.
