Authors: Boaventura Guilherme do Prado , Oliveira Joilsa Fonseca de , Rios Thalyta Amália Lima
Published: November 2022

A pandemia da Covid 19 trouxe impactos significativos para todas as áreas, especialmente pelo fato de no início não existirem informações ou orientações de combate ao vírus. Com isso foi necessário implementar medidas de distanciamento social com o objetivo de atrasar a contaminação. A educação também foi impactada com a pandemia, uma vez que o ensino remoto necessitou ser implementado nas escolas como forma de oferecer atividades escolares para os alunos. Diante disso, o objetivo do presente trabalho é realizar uma análise sobre o processo de implementação do ensino remoto nas redes públicas de ensino, considerando a utilização dos recursos tecnológicos, respaldado por orientações e normativas que permitiram a implementação deste modelo de ensino. Foi utilizado como metodologia a pesquisa documental e a análise bibliográfica, para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa, uma vez que os livros e artigos científicos, colaboram com a fundamentação do trabalho. Ao longo da pesquisa observa-se que enquanto na rede particular de ensino ocorreu uma implementação mais rápida do ensino remoto, especialmente pela disponibilidade de estrutura e possibilidade de investimento pelo perfil dos alunos, na rede pública existiu a falta de políticas públicas educacionais eficientes e adequadas que possibilitaram um melhor atendimento das pessoas em vulnerabilidade social. O trabalho apresenta que na rede pública há necessidade de investimentos na área educacional, uma vez que apesar da tecnologia estar presente na vida das pessoas diariamente, ela não se faz presente na realidade escolar, que ainda está atrasada devido à falta de equipamentos (computadores, tablet, acesso à internet e outros) para os alunos, bem como outros fatores sociais que impactaram diretamente no processo de ensino e aprendizagem.

This writing argues that nation-states could be treated as an identity rather than only the accepted actor of international relations. Understand nation-states as an identity is important, following the constructivist argument that identity could shape an individual or even nation-states' intention. Nation-states as the main actor of international relations impacted to their intention define only by the identity that emerges from it. Although, other identities especially religious identity in this writing argued still relevant in the identity conceptual framework that this paper provides. This paper highlights that nation-states identity work as representative identity, as the basis of identification over self-image on the surface. Meanwhile, religious identity lies within the nation-states; it might not always represent nation-states but could do so on a contextual basis. This is qualitative research using identity as the conceptual framework. Then, literature studies as the method and data collection been done by collecting relevant academic journals, books, and other relevant articles.

Measuring the Success of English Borrowings in Chinese
Authors: Jia Yunhan
Published: November 2022

After entering the recipient language, many borrowings are in competition with their native equivalents, serving as an alternative lexical choice to express the designated concept. Concerning this phenomenon, questions arise as to whether some borrowings are used more frequently than others and what factors contribute to their success if we consider borrowings with a higher frequency more successful. To address these issues, this study takes an onomasiological approach, considers both borrowings and their native equivalents, and measures the relative frequency of borrowings in comparison with their native equivalents to assess their success. Raw frequencies are avoided in the study because they are subject to the popularity of topics in which a concept might be mentioned, meaning that some borrowings are frequently used possibly just because the relevant topics are popular, which thus cannot effectively reflect how the linguistic features of the borrowings affect their usage and success. Based on a dataset with data collected from Weibo, this study conducts a multiple regression analysis in Rbrul to investigate how the factors affect the success of English borrowings in Chinese, including concept frequency, concept novelty, lexical field, age of borrowing, number of competitors, and relative length of borrowings. The results of the statistical model indicate that borrowings are significantly more successful than others if they denote a new or low-frequency concept and if they fall into the rapidly-evolving fields rich in new inventions. In contrast, age of borrowing and relative length cannot significantly determine the success of borrowings. By measuring the success of English borrowings in Chinese, this study not only fills the gap caused by the rarity of studies taking an onomasiological approach on the contact-induced outcome in Chinese but also sheds light on the major motivations for using borrowings in Chinese.
Factors Influencing the Use of Financial Derivatives in Chinese Listed Companies
Authors: Yang Ao , Li Wenqi , Teo Brian Sheng Xian , Othman Jaizah
Published: November 2022

This paper uses A-share chemical companies from 2011 to 2019 to examine the probit model’s ability to provide insight on why China's listed companies choose to use financial derivatives. The empirical results show that reducing the cost of financial distress, avoiding underinvestment and increasing firm size are positive determinants of listed companies' use of financial derivatives. However, the empirical results of this paper are also different from the results of international studies. The reduction of expected taxes, substitution factors and agency problems are not the determinants of listed companies' use of financial derivatives. Few listed Chinese companies use derivatives for hedging which may be the cause of the deviation problem. Further analysis shows that managers' interests are not the motivation for listed companies to use derivatives. Thus, it can be seen that the primary goal of Chinese listed companies using derivatives is to avoid hedging risks. This paper helps to predict the possibility that listed companies make hedging decisions depending on the relevant factors and provides policy guidance for the government to implement a modern development strategy for the derivatives market.
Застосування тайм-менеджменту у військово-адміністративній діяльності військових організаційних структур Збройних Сил України
Authors: Шпанчук Г. , Чайковська О.
Published: November 2022

Час – єдиний обмежений та невідновний ресурс, який неможливо відшкодувати, збільшити або замінити, а можливо лише максимально ефективно використати. Управління часом в рази підвищує особистісну ефективність персоналу. Раціональне використання часу є запорукою успішного виконання службових обов’язків кожним військовослужбовцем та досягнення загальних цілей військової організаційної структури. Особливої актуальності набуває впровадження до військово-адміністративної діяльності військових організаційних структур технологій тайм-менеджменту, що дозволить підвищити ефективність виконання поточних, планових та позапланових завдань за рахунок оптимізації часових витрат на підготовку і прийняття рішень.

Система тайм-менеджменту військово-адміністративної діяльності  містить три рівні:

тайм-менеджмент військової організаційної структури;

тайм-менеджмент окремих підрозділів військової організаційної структури;

індивідуальний тайм-менеджмент особового складу (персоналу).

Впровадження системи тайм-менеджменту передбачає формування у персоналу військових організаційних структур часової компетентності, пов’язаної з питаннями усвідомлення часу, емоційного переживання часу і організації часу службової діяльності, що в комплексі забезпечить емоційну стабільність, стресостійкість, самоорганізацію.

Тайм-менеджмент і управління персоналом з погляду системної парадигми розглядаються як взаємопов’язані системи, спільне використання яких дозволяє підвищити ефективність виконання службових обов’язків персоналом військових організаційних структур під час виконання завдань військово-адміністративної діяльності. Систему індивідуального тайм-менеджменту доречно доповнити прийомами колективного тайм-менеджменту, що надасть змогу прискорити процес формування професійних колективів, здатних розв’язувати завдання в умовах дефіциту часу.
Розвиток зенітних ракетних комплексів і систем для оборони військ та об’єктів від ударів нестратегічних балістичних ракет
Authors: Загорка О. , Дейнега О.
Published: November 2022

На сьогодні актуальним завданням є аналіз розвитку зенітних ракетних комплексів і систем (ЗРК і ЗРС) для обґрунтування вимог до створення власних засобів ППО та прийняття рішення щодо їх закупівлі за необхідністю.Останнім часом практично відсутні публікації, в яких би розглядалися питання розвитку ЗРК та ЗРС під призмою їх використання суто для протиракетної оборони військ і об’єктів від ударів сучасних нестратегічних балістичних ракет.

Метою статті є аналіз розвитку зенітних ракетних та протиракетних комплексів і систем, які можна використовувати для протиракетної оборони військ і об’єктів від ударів сучасних нестратегічних балістичних ракет.

На теперішній час у світі створено досить багато універсальних (для використання під час організації як протилітакової, так і протиракетної оборони) зенітних ракетних систем (комплексів) та декілька спеціалізованих (для організації протиракетної оборони) протиракетних комплексів, які можуть використовуватись під час організації протиракетної оборони об’єктів країни і військових об’єктів від ударів нестратегічних балістичних ракет (НБР).

Розвиток зенітних ракетних комплексів та систем для протиракетної оборони військ і об’єктів від сучасних нестратегічних балістичних ракет здійснюється за такими основними напрямами:створення універсальних ЗРС (ЗРК) середньої дальності;створення спеціалізованих ПРК нестратегічної ПРО;модернізація існуючих ЗРС (ЗРК) середньої та великої дальності для вирішення завдань боротьби з нестратегічними БР.

До загальних тенденцій розвитку зенітних ракетних засобів, заснованих на традиційних фізичних принципах боротьби з нестратегічними БР можна віднести:збільшення канальності та дальності стрільби ЗРК; використання в радіолокаторах зенітних систем активних ФАР;використання модульного принципу створення багатоканальних ЗРС і ЗРК та інші.
Рекомендації щодо планування та підготовки руху опору на території держави
Authors: Попельський М. , Гудим В.
Published: November 2022

Існуюча система оборони держави, у тому числі і територіальна оборона, робота державних, військових та місцевих органів управління, системи забезпечення національної і воєнної безпеки країни не в повній мірі забезпечує територіальну цілісність, суверенітет, недоторканність кордонів. Україна зазнала значних територіальних, економічних, фінансових, матеріально-технічних втрат, втрат озброєння, військової, спеціальної техніки і особового складу військ (сил).

Враховуючи агресивну зовнішньополітичну, економічну, соціальну, інформаційну обстановку навколо України з боку Російської Федерації, ведення її війни проти нашої держави, виникає об’єктивна потреба подальшого удосконалення системи руху спротиву на території, тимчасово зайнятої агресором (противником), пошуку ефективних методів їх застосування, удосконалення заходів щодо планування і підготовки сил руху опору в мирний час та воєнний час (особливий період).

Мета статті – надання рекомендацій щодо організації  підготовки сил руху опору держави в умовах відсічі агресії, пропозицій щодо подальшого удосконалення руху опору, пошуку і визначення під час планування найбільш ефективних загальних типових форм застосування складових національного спротиву.

Реалії сьогодення диктують загальну ефективну (та відносно дешеву) систему організації руху опору з числа патріотично налаштованих мешканців, які мають досвід бойових дій, а також розроблення та застосування нестандартних підходів, передових розвідувальних технологій і комплексних асиметричних відповідей агресору на випадок активізації його дій та розширення масштабу конфлікту. Особливу увагу треба приділяти питанням надійного легендування оперативно-бойових заходів під виглядом боротьби за сфери впливу місцевих банд, діяльність сепаратистських рухів тощо.

Published: November 2022

У діловому та науковому обіході немає єдиного розуміння сутності стратегічного планування та його термінології. Найбільша плутанина та непорозуміння виникають при тлумаченні таких термінів, як стратегія, стратегічний план, стратегічне та довгострокове оборонне планування, державне стратегічне планування та управління тощо. Ці засадничі визначення мають фундаментальне значення для будь-якого наукового дослідження. Тому потреба їх вирішення надзвичайно вагома. У сучасних безпекових умовах зазначені підходи потребують певного оновлення та наближення до принципів і стандартів, прийнятих у арміях держав-членів НАТО.Департамент воєнної політики та стратегічного планування Міністерства оборони України зараз активізує вивчення проблем стратегічного планування для їх вирішення у сфері оборони.

Мета статті – проаналізувати наявні проблеми нормативно-правового забезпечення стратегічного планування з метою їх вирішення у сфері оборони в Україні з урахуванням сучасної безпекової обстановки, а також принципів і стандартів, прийнятих у арміях держав-членів НАТО.

У запропонованих Методичних рекомендаціях Мінекономіки викладені слушні поради та методичні підходи до розроблення усіх структурних елементів стратегічного плану, чим доцільно скористатися органам планування Міністерства оборони та Збройних сил України й інших складових сил оборони. Міністерствам та іншим центральним органам виконавчої влади – головним розпорядникам бюджетних коштів за бюджетними призначеннями рекомендовано розробити та затвердити власні порядки розроблення і виконання планів діяльності на плановий та два бюджетні періоди, що настають за плановим, з урахуванням Методичних рекомендацій Мінекономіки.

Published: November 2022

Hepatitis B virus infection is a major public health problem worldwide and it causes not only hepatic diseases but also extra hepatic manifestations particularly HBV-associated Glomerulo- nephritis (GN). HBsAg has been observed in the glomeruli of some patients with glomerulonephritis. HBV related glomerulo- nephritis may be found in HBV seropositive as well as sero- negative patients. HBV may present in the renal tissue of such patients. In most cases detection of HBsAg in the renal tissue by renal biopsy and immunohistochemistry can establish the etiology.  To find out the relationship of HBsAg and Kidney biopsy marker with HBV related glomerulonephropathy, this cross sectional study was done in the Department of Nephrology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), during the period of July 2015 to June 2016. A total number of 53 cases who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected as sample. Samples were selected by purposive sampling technique. HBsAg antigen in renal tissue was found in 2 patients among 7 patients who were seropositive for both HBsAg and Anti HBc(total), 2 patients among 8 patients who were HBsAg seronegative but Anti HBc (total) seropositive, 2 patients among 38 patients who were seronegative for both HBsAg and Anti HBc(total). There were no patients in this study who was HBsAg seropositive but Anti HBc (total) seronegative.  Total 11.3% (6 patients) of renal biopsy specimens were found to have HBsAg deposits which included 3 cases of Membrano- proliferative GN and one of each of Membranous nephropathy, Mesangial proliferative GN and IgA nephropathy. The high rate of HBsAg deposits found in renal tissue indicates that detection of HBsAg deposition should be done for all histological varieties of GN.  Antiviral therapy may be used to stop progression of HBV associated nephropathy.

Published: November 2022

Studies regarding clinical characteristics of stroke involving the posterior circulation territory of the brain in Bangladesh are rare although large number of patients were found in hospital admission and with a high morbidity and mortality. Study for better understanding of the clinical features, risk factors and aetiologies of posterior circulation stroke (PCS) may be very helpful for early diagnosis, treatment, and also for setting primary and secondary prevention strategies. The objective of the study was to identify clinical features and short-term outcome of PCS. Adult patients admitted in Dhaka Medical College Hospital with clinical features consistent with posterior circulation stroke involving brain stem or, cerebellum or thalamus or occipital area and confirmed by computer tomography (CT) scan of brain were the the cases as respondents. Few cases were needed MRI of brain to confirm diagnosis. This was a hospital based prospective observational study with descriptive and analytical component. Sample was selected from the study population by purposive type of non-probability sampling technique. Sample size was 30. A semi-structured questionnaire was prepared containing patients’ profile as well as stroke patients’ reporting form which included all the essential information regarding clinical profile of PCS as well as short term outcome. Analysis was done using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. Thirty consecutive cases of strokes involving posterior circulation territory were included in the study according to inclusion and exclusion criteria.  Male female ratio was 1.7:1. Most of the patients in both sexes were affected after the age of 50 years. Hemorrhagic PCS was significantly higher than ischaemic PCS. Among hemorrhagic PCS common symptoms were decreased level of consciousness and motor disturbances. Most common clinical sign in ischemic PCS is impaired consciousness which was present in 55.6% of the total ischemic PCS cases. Whereas this sign was present in all the cases of hemorrhagic PCS (100%). Like presenting symptoms, most of the clinical signs were also more common in hemorrhagic PCS. But few clinical signs were more common in ischemic strokes, such as cranial nerve involvement and nystagmus. Commonest predisposing factors were tobacco abuse, hypertension and dyslipidemia. Mortality was higher in hemorrhagic PCS than ischemic PCS within 7 days of follow up.

Noninvasive serum biomarkers for liver fibrosis in NAFLD: current and future
Authors: Reinson Tina , Buchanan Ryan M. , Byrne Christopher D.
Published: November 2022

In the last 20 years, noninvasive serum biomarkers to identify liver fibrosis in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) have been developed, validated against liver biopsy (the gold standard for determining the presence of liver fibrosis) and made available for clinicians to use to identify ≥F3 liver fibrosis. The aim of this review is firstly to focus on the current use of widely available biomarkers and their performance for identifying ≥F3. Secondly, we discuss whether noninvasive biomarkers have a role in identifying F2, a stage of fibrosis that is now known to be a risk factor for cirrhosis and overall mortality. We also consider whether machine learning algorithms offer a better alternative for identifying individuals with ≥F2 fibrosis. Thirdly, we summarise the utility of noninvasive serum biomarkers for predicting liver related outcomes (e.g., ascites and hepatocellular carcinoma) and non-liver related outcomes (e.g., cardiovascular-related mortality and extra hepatic cancers). Finally, we examine whether serial measurement of biomarkers can be used to monitor liver disease, and whether the use of noninvasive biomarkers in drug trials for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis can accurately, compared to liver histology, monitor liver fibrosis progression/regression. We conclude by offering our perspective on the future of serum biomarkers for the detection and monitoring of liver fibrosis in NAFLD.
The Adverse Impact of Sarcopenia and Visceral Fat Deposition on the Course of Hepatocellular Carcinoma and the Role of Nutritional Interventions
Authors: McCulloch Adam , Malhi Hardip , Dhaliwal Amritpal , Cooper Sheldon , Shah Tahir
Published: November 2022

There is mounting evidence to support the impact of sarcopenia on the prognosis of a wide range of clinical conditions. This review examines the literature on the effect of body composition measures, including sarcopenia, on outcomes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Available studies support the adverse impact that sarcopenia has on overall survival, response to different treatment modalities, and tumour recurrence. Some studies have identified visceral fat deposition as a negative prognostic sign, and the incorporation of body composition measures into current HCC staging schemes have been shown to improve prognostic accuracy. On the other hand, there is a paucity of studies assessing nutritional interventions in HCC and further trials are needed to inform evidence-based practice.
Targeting the Relaxin Pathway for Liver Disease Treatment
Authors: Bennett Robert G.
Published: November 2022

Hepatic fibrosis is a progressive disease with few treatment options outside of transplantation. Relaxin is a member of the insulin/relaxin superfamily of peptide hormones. Originally known for its roles in pregnancy, relaxin promotes reproductive tissue remodelling and regulates vascular changes, including increased arterial compliance and reduced vascular resistance. Outside of pregnancy, relaxin plays a major role in the protection of organs from excess extracellular matrix accumulation, as demonstrated by the relaxin-null mouse, which develops widespread fibrosis with ageing. Relaxin reduces scarring due to excess collagen deposition by inhibiting collagen production while simultaneously promoting its degradation and can reduce established fibrosis in several animal models of extracellular matrix-associated disease, including liver fibrosis. Treatment with relaxin reduces the myofibroblastic phenotype of activated hepatic stellate cells, the major hepatic collagen-producing cell in fibrosis and cirrhosis. Relaxin also has haemodynamic effects, including vasodilation, and can reduce portal hypertension associated with cirrhosis. In this review, a brief overview of hepatic fibrosis and the role of the hepatic stellate cell will be presented, followed by an introduction to relaxin and its actions. The use of relaxin to treat preclinical models of fibrotic diseases, including liver diseases, will also be discussed. Finally, the completed, current, and ongoing clinical trials of relaxin in human disease will be described, followed by the limitations and future directions for the use of relaxin for disease treatment.
DESIGN PROTOTYPE OF SMART DETECTOR ENVIRONMENT SYSTEM ON SEMICONDUCTOR DETECTOR STORAGE (HPGE)
Authors: Wulandari Rindi
Published: November 2022

The HPGe detector is a device that should be cooled when used and can be operated at room temperature. For this reason, it is necessary to monitor the temperature and humidity in the HPGe detector storage area to produce optimal performance. This research was focused on designing a Smart Detector Environment System as a means of monitoring and automatic control of temperature and humidity in the HPGe detector storage. Temperature and humidity detection in the system was carried out by the DHT22 sensor connected to Arduino Uno and the motor driver module. Arduino uno gave the command "00000011" to detect the temperature in the chamber, and "00000101" to start the detection of humidity in the chamber, then the data generated by the DHT22 sensor would be displayed and processed by LabVIEW, which was used to move the fan to regulate the temperature and humidity in the system with the condition that the lamp on the chamber was left on (manual).  The results obtained were in the form of a design and automatic control of temperature and humidity monitoring and control in the HPGe detector storage whose temperature could be adjusted automatically according to the needs of the HPGe detector.
Experience in using the methods of catastrophe theory in describing the dynamics of phytoplankton in the Vistula lagoon of the Baltic Sea
Authors: Podgornyy Konstantin A. , Dmitrieva Olga A.
Published: November 2022

Ideas and methods of catastrophe theory are widely used to analyze “regime shifts” in ecosystems. In this work, the analysis of the seasonal dynamics of phytoplankton in the Russian part of the Vistula Lagoon of the Baltic Sea is carried out on the basis of using the simplest possible model of the catastrophe theory − cusp catastrophe. The total phytoplankton biomass is considered as a state variable. The use of one of the methods of multivariate analysis − principal components method − made it possible to carry out the entire analysis depending on a small number of parameters. A calculation of the control parameters values is carried out using the factor loadings of the main components for the data that characterize the hydro-physical and hydro-chemical regimes as well as the level of biogenic loading on the aquatic ecosystem of the lagoon. It was found that, depending on the specific situation, the same factor or different combinations of factors can play both a stabilizing role and be the cause of destabilization.
Dynamics of abundance and biomass of Gonyostomum semen (Ehr.) Diesing in Valaam lakes
Authors: Voyakina Ekaterina Ju.
Published: November 2022

The paper presents long-term material on the succession of species Gonyostomum semen (Ehr.) Diesing collected on the lakes of the Valaam archipelago. The work was carried out on 10 small lakes about Valaam archipelago, maintaining a natural mode of functioning. The lakes differed in the shape of the basin, depth, and features of the hydrochemical regime. For lakes, a wide range of limnological parameters was revealed, such as transparency (0,3–4,6 m), active reaction of the environment (4,0–8,6), water color (27–296° according to Pt–Co scale), the content of total organic matter (10,8–63,8 mgO/dm3) and mineral phosphorus (0,001–0,646 mg/dm3). The phytoplankton structure varied significantly from lake to lake. In terms of abundance in most small lakes in biomass rafidophyte algae dominated. G. semen biomass varied from 1,1 to 82,3 mg/dm3. In the seasonal dynamics of phytoplankton, one or two peaks were noted, which occurred in different years in different months, most often in June or September.
Benthic diatoms of the Black Sea: rare, invasive, extinct species and assessment of taxonomic exclusivity
Authors: Nevrova Elena L.
Published: November 2022

Assessment of benthic diatom taxonomic diversity under increasing anthropogenic pressure on the Black Sea shelf is necessary to preserve the genetic fund of Bacillariophyta, especially for rare and relict endangered species, as well as for controlling of invasive ones. Currently, the Black Sea benthic diatom flora includes 1100 species and intraspecific taxa, among which almost 50% are singleton species. Assumed the Black Sea flora consists from relict of the Ponto-Caspian and Karangat flora, native species, freshwater species, introducers from the Mediterranean basin, and a group of aliens acclimating to another environmental condition. 8 new genera and over 280 newly found for the Black Sea diatom flora species were noted. Also species not recorded in the World Ocean during the XX century were discovered. Groups of 33 and 11 significant for preservation species were highlighted which the ranks of high and highest taxonomic exclusivity were assigned, respectively. Species formed a mono-species branch on a hierarchical tree, i.e. belonging to the same genus, family or order, has the highest preservation priority compared to a species included in a poly-species branch and phylogenetically close to many others. Disappearance of species with high taxonomic exclusivity leads to significant changes in the structure of diatom hierarchical tree. Maintenance of intact habitat conditions for species with a high taxonomic exclusivity should be primary measure to preserve the high diversity of the Black Sea’ flora Bacillariophyta.

What goes on in court? Identifying contract-related topics decided by United Kingdom courts from 1709 to 2021 using machine learning
Authors: Izzidien Ahmed , Sargeant Holli , Steffek Felix
Published: November 2022

Despite the relevance of contractual conflict in legal practice, there is yet to be a dataset which captures the type of issues and clauses that result in cases being brought before the courts. Such a dataset would be invaluable to a machine learning algorithm that seeks to predict whether new clauses are likely to cause conflict. In this study, we analyse a dataset based on half a million United Kingdom court decisions decided between 1709 and 2021, from which we extract 60,379 cases dealing with contracts. We characterise the language of this dataset using Latent Dirichlet Allocation to approximate legal topic modelling. We augment the data by plotting it with the court names and dates for each case, which allows for a racing bar chart visualisation. This is the first study of its kind to provide easy access to legal researchers on cases dealing with contracts in the United Kingdom.

Authors: Coïc Clément , Sielemann Michael , Nirmala Nirmala , Andersson Daniel
Published: November 2022

A flow balancing problem consists of sizing restrictions on flow branches of a fluid system to match desired flow rates on each branch. The problem is rarely trivial as parallel branches routinely contain many components with nonlinear pressure loss characteristics each. This paper introduces the Physics-based Solving capabilities implemented in Modelon Liquid Cooling library. This new capability enables conveniently solving such flow balancing problems with steady-state requirements. The benefits of this solution are discussed using an aircraft thermal management system as example.
