Published: January 2023

Permintaan sumber energi semakin meningkat, sedangkan sumber energi fosil seperti batu bara, minyak bumi dan gas alam semakin menipis. Dewasa kini, terdapat kebijakan untuk mengurangi emisi CO2 dari sumber energi menjadi sangat penting bagi para ahli ilmu lingkungan. Indonesia termasuk dalam negara beriklim tropis yang dimana mempunyai potensi energi surya yang tinggi dengan radiasi harian rata-rata sebesar 4 kWh/m2/hari. Pembangkit energi dari panel surya ini memperoleh banyak perhatian peneliti terutama pada faktor penyebab panel surya menjadi tren dunia, yaitu ketersediaan diseluruh dunia dengan nilai nol emisi gas rumah kaca. Daya keluaran dari panel surya menjadi masalah utama karena tidak konstan yang dipengaruhi oleh posisi kemiringan, penyinaran matahari, jenis sel surya dan sifat teknis modul. Panel surya akan bekerja secara maksimal dan efisien ketika jumlah partilkel cahaya maksimum dari matahari mengenai sel-selnya secara tegak lurus atau 90o. Untuk mengetahui waktu puncak dan kemiringan optimal panel surya dalam memproduksi daya dalam penelitian ini menggunakan solar tracker yang berfungsi untuk mengukur tegangan, arus, daya, kemiringan, azimuth dan intensitas cahaya yang diterima oleh panel surya secara otomatis dan real time. Dengan membandingkan panel surya jenis Polycrystalline dan Monocrystalline didapat waktu puncak panel surya menghasilkan daya maksimum yaitu pada pukul 11-13, dengan rata tegangan keluaran 11,43V, dengan rata-rata arus keluaran 54,05mA, dan rata-rata daya 0,62WATT menghadap utara. Dari pengambilan data selama lima hari, tegangan yang dihasilkan panel surya jenis monocrystalline lebih tinggi dan stabil dibandingkan panel surya polycrystalline.

Pipelines have become an essential tool to transport raw materials in Industries, Fuel transmission in households, etc. To ensure safe working, there is a need for proper inspection and maintenance of the Pipe. Human Involvement in Inspection and Maintenance of Pipe is Time-consuming and even risky. Therefore, the robot is one of the viable solutions for these tasks. This paper presents a novel design for an in-pipe maneuvering Robot, especially for countering T and L joints in a Pipe. The robot uses a screw drive mechanism and has passive support wheels at the rear. Three continuous tracks with Scott-Russell mechanism is used for providing Extra actuation when passing through joints. Every wheel has a spring attached to push against the wall of the Pipe, and this spring ensures robot adaptability in various diameter pipes. The robot is modelled using SolidWorks 2019. The bond graph method is used for dynamic simulation of the robot to examine the bot's motion while countering the bend, t, and l joint. Simulations have been Performed in the Adams Software to check various Characteristics of the robot inside the bend pipe.

Authors: Joshi Gajendra , Goyal Devansh , Chaturvedi Gautam
Published: January 2023

The objective of this present article is to review and appraise the method to determine fracture, deformation wears resistance of dental resin composite in an attempt to suggest the method and properties for investigations. This study aims to investigate the effect of different resin fillers and monomers currently available on mechanical properties and physical properties. The hybrid dental composites also contribute significantly to increasing the mechanical and tribological properties. A silane-treated filler improved the dental composite bonding strength. It is further revealed that the mechanical properties of the dental composite were improved by adding filler as well as by providing silane treatment to filler to increase the adhesion properties between resin and filler.
Hybrid Model for the Customer Churn Prediction

Published: January 2023

The fast development of the showcase in each segment is driving to a prevalent endorser base for benefit suppliers. In such a quick setup, benefit suppliers have realized the significance of holding the on-hand clients. It is in this manner fundamental for the benefits suppliers to prevent churn - a phenomenon that states that the client wishes to quit the benefit of the company. The key here is to be motivated and have interaction with these clients. While simple, in theory, the realities worried about achieving this “proactive retention” goal are incredibly challenging. The most commitment of our work is to create a Churn expectation show that helps companies foresee clients who are most likely subject to churn. The model developed in this work employs machine learning strategies on the dataset and builds a robust training and testing model. The proposed model results are authenticated using K-fold cross-validation, and an accuracy of 91.48% is achieved. The main contribution is using K-means clustering to make clusters and then applying the Random Forest classifier for model prediction. The model was organized and tested operating on a data set created and supplied by a telecom organization from the United States of America. The model experimented with seven algorithms: Random Forest, Logistic Regression, Naive Bayes, K-nearest neighbors, Gradient Boosting, Ada Boosting, and K-means. However, the proposed model is experimented with by combining the K-means and Random Forest algorithm.

可信賴專業活動於兒癌心理照護之經驗分享
Authors: 曾嫦嫦 曾嫦嫦 , 王馥亭 王馥亭
Published: January 2023

本案例報告為試用可信賴專業活動(Entrustable Professional Activities, EPAs)於兒童癌症心理照護臨床教學的經驗分享。對象為1位臨床心理PGY(Post-graduate year)學員在1位臨床教師督導下，於某醫學中心癌童病房執行心理照護，從2020年8月至11月探視16人，計34人次；每次照會，學員及教師分別填寫EPAs即時評量，內涵可對應ACGME(Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education)六大核心能力，針對當次照會做即時信賴等級的評量及需加強項目之量化與質性雙向回饋討論。EPAs量化結果呈現教師評核學員專業任務表現之進步，質性討論反映出教學效能增進，可作為總評及勝任能力授權依據。EPAs的推廣需要更多臨床教師的修正討論並試用，以確認其信、效度，優化臨床心理教學效能及照護品質。

 

This study describes the experience of a postgraduate clinical psychology student working with children with cancer and their families as part of a training program that incorporated entrustable professional activities (EPAs) into its framework. The student was supervised by a clinical supervisor. The training program involved providing psychological care for 16 children with cancer in the pediatric ward of a medical center from August to November 2020. The student and supervisor both assessed EPAs corresponding to the six general competencies defined by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and used quantitative and qualitative two-way feedback to explore the relationship between EPAs and the core competencies. The quantitative results revealed progressive improvement over the different training phases, and qualitative feedback indicated increased comprehension by and self-modification from the student. This information can be used to assess the student’s performance and authorization for managing EPAs. Programs that adopt EPAs would benefit from increased participation by clinical supervisors, who are best positioned to discuss, revise, and support the implementation of EPAs to ensure their reliability and validity, thereby optimizing educational effectiveness and the quality of health-care services.

 
Balancing Convenience and Connection: Blending Law School Teaching and Learning During a Pandemic
Authors: Howieson Jill , Di Sabato Ben , Sparkes Emmelie , Mancini Vincent
Published: January 2023

This article reports on the lived experiences of 30 students completing a two-week intensive course on Dispute Resolution (DR) at the University of Western Australia Law School in 2021. The course was delivered fully-online in the first week, and in a traditional face-to-face setting in the second week. The adoption of online learning was in response to a government-mandated lockdown to combat the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic created a new landscape for higher education providers, where teachers needed to implement rapid adjustments to the delivery of legal education. By providing students with activities designed to capture their experiences with face-to-face and online delivery modes in the context of DR, Law School staff were able to gain valuable insight into the life of a law student during this time. The qualitative and quantitative findings revealed that the transition to online delivery was in some ways paradoxical, as students reported both benefits and limitations. This article contributes to accumulating literature exploring the impact of online delivery of education within a law school context, highlighting the potential barriers and facilitators to effective implementation identified by students. Further inquiry remains imperative in a post COVID-19 landscape where online delivery is increasingly relevant.

The office is dead, long live the office: The coronavirus pandemic and the future of office spaces
Authors: Seitz Petra
Published: January 2023

Over the course of the coronavirus crisis, substantially increased attention has been paid to the space of the commercial office. Much of this renewed attention has focused on potential futures of offices, suggesting that as the pandemic subsides, home-working will remain and companies will rapidly shed physical assets in city centres.This article explores how the demise of the physical space of the office as a discrete category may have been overstated, and how the foundational role office spaces play vis-à-vis white-collar work may continue into the post-Covid world.Starting with a brief history of the designed space of this office, this article explores three concepts neglected by many in their attempts to forecast office futures: 1) the historic resiliency of office spaces in the face of technological and social change, 2) the immense diversity of commercial office spaces and office workers, and 3) the role of physical office space in the capitalist labour process.

Authors: Leiderman Eduardo A. , Agnessi Camila , Balbiani Barbara , Cedeño Cindy , Evangelista Lucía , Ghea Iaacob , Repetto Catalina , Saravia Emma
Published: January 2023

Introducción: Dada la prevalencia del modelo de atención interdisciplinaria en salud mental es necesario establecer miradas comunes en relación a prácticas terapéuticas de las distintas disciplinas que intervienen en la atención mental. Nuestro objetivo fue determinar si hay diferencias de opiniones y posturas en cuanto a temas de práctica psiquiátrica entre alumnos de Medicina y Psicología de años superiores. Métodos: Se realizó una encuesta ad hoc con distintas afirmaciones sobre la internación psiquiátrica, la terapia electroconvulsiva y los psicofármacos. Ciento dieciocho estudiantes de Medicina y 122 estudiantes de Psicología contestaron esta encuesta en forma online en febrero del año 2022. Resultados: Un tercio de las opiniones fueron significativamente distintas entre los alumnos. Los alumnos de Medicina tuvieron posturas un poco más positivas en relación a la terapia electroconvulsiva y a la internación psiquiátrica que los alumnos de Psicología. El prejuicio en relación a prácticas psiquiátricas es importante en ambos grupos. Discusión y Conclusiones: No existen diferencias importantes entre las opiniones de los alumnos de Medicina y Psicología. El estigma y prejuicio sobre la salud mental debe ser abordado desde los primeros años de ambas carreras.
La semiología psiquiátrica en la posmodernidad
Authors: Barbagallo Ignacio
Published: January 2023

Este trabajo se propone reflexionar sobre la vigencia de la semiología y nosografía psiquiátrica que suele circular en los ámbitos de formación de psicólogos clínicos y psiquiatras. La visión de la psiquiatría académica de nuestros tiempos, fuertemente influenciada por el discurso cientificista, busca consolidar una nosografía universal que pretende borrar las marcas propias de la cultura. Sin embargo, la prevalencia de ciertos diagnósticos por sobre otros se encuentra determinada por el contexto social y los cambios culturales que determinan, a su vez, las prácticas clasificatorias de los profesionales. Por ello es importante la inclusión de los aportes de pensadores y críticos de la cultura para desarrollar una semiología actualizada y culturalizada de los fenómenos clínicos. Utilizaremos la teoría de Mark Fisher sobre el Realismo Capitalista para repensar en esta línea los principales síntomas de la depresión.

Authors: Taqi Saja Nabeel , Al-Murshidi Saheb Yahya
Published: January 2023

Background: The aim of this work is study the relationship between sperm parameters, anti-sperm antibody and some cytokines levels for infertile men. Semen samples were studied for 88 infertile men;of these (28) infertile men with normozoospermic, (29) with oligozoospermic and (31) with asthenozoospermic ,samples were collected from Fertility Centre in Al-Sadder teaching hospital in Al-Najaf / Iraq during the period of (2/11/ 2021) and (5/2/2022). All participants underwent seminal analysis and measurement of seminal plasma antisperm antibody and some cytokine. The result of the study showed negative correlation between antisperm antibody and of interleukin (IL-1and IL-6) with sperm parameter and posative correlation with leucocytes. The presence of leucocytes in the semen is associated with an increase in levels of interleukin (IL-1and IL-6) in the seminal plasma of infertile men. The presence of antisperm antibody and interleukin (IL-1and IL-6) in the seminal plasma is associated with a negative relationship in the semen quality of infertile men.

Have we reached the tipping point for strength-based approaches to organisational challenges?
Authors: Lewis Sarah
Published: January 2023

The current interest in the idea of ‘strengths’ can be traced back to Peterson and Seligman’s strengths classification almost eight years ago (2004). Recently, noticing the increasing presence of suppliers who specialise in strengths-based approaches, the author began to wonder whether the idea of strengths-based development might be reaching a ‘tipping point’ in the organisational world. This article presents several illustrations of the changing attitude and approach in using strengths within organisations.

The positive psychology literature continues to focus on exploring the benefits derived from using one’s strengths. This paper presents a series of studies examining relations between strengths measured by an established strengths tool with a range of psychological constructs, namely resilience, engagement, grit, mindfulness and vitality. Data were collected from a number of samples, ranging from 434 to 1272 participants. Results demonstrated consistent positive associations between specific strengths use and these psychological constructs. Practitioners are encouraged to include strengths assessment as part of their broader personal development initiatives in order to enable individuals to realise their strengths and derive the associated psychological rewards.

Should we play? Gamification in assessment and selection
Authors: Riley Philippa
Published: January 2023

In 2011 the word ‘gamification’ first made an appearance in the Oxford English Dictionary (OED). The OED defines it as ‘the application of typical elements of game playing (e.g. point scoring, competition with others, rules of play) to other areas of activity, typically as an online marketing technique to encourage engagement with a product or service’. Many organisations have been going to great lengths to maximise the potential of this concept and ‘gamify’ their processes, from marketing, to innovation and HR. This article explores the potential value of gamification in assessment and selection, and considers what it adds to our toolkit as practitioners.
