Blending of biofuels with petro-diesels has become indispensable for environmental conservation, offering considerably enhanced tribological qualities that contribute in power saving along with extension in the lifespan of compression-ignition (CI) engines. The objective of this work is to investigate the tribological features of nanoadditivated Laxmitaru- fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) blends in petro-diesel, by means of a 4-ball tribometer following American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D 4172 standard. The experiments involved B-10 (10 percent biodiesel mixed with petro diesel), B-20 and B-30 variants along with neat petro-diesel. Nano Silicon dioxide (SiO2) was added in varying concentrations of 0.20%, 0.50%, 0.75%, and 1% by weight with Laxmitaru-FAME. The results revealed 75 % decrease in coefficient of friction (COF) and 55% reduction in wear compared to neat diesel (B0). Wear patterns of the experimental spheres were analysed by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which indicated the material insertion and consequential mending on interface by nanoparticles due to highly stable dispersions.
Blackmer’s VCA Cell Implemented Using Subthreshold MOSFETs
Authors: Lanterman Aaron D. , Hasler Jennifer O.
Published: November 2024

In 1973, David Blackmer introduced a voltage-controlled amplifier consisting of a pair of negative-positive-negative transistors performing logging and antilogging functions coupled with a complementary positive-negative-positive pair. This “Blackmer cell” has been widely used in studio equipment such as compressors and mixers. The authors consider replacing the bipolar junction transistors with metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors in the subthreshold region to exploit the resulting exponential voltage/current relationship, particularly focusing on its implementation on a field-programmable analog array. Resistors used for input voltage-to-current conversion and output current-to-voltage current conversion are replaced with operational transconductance amplifiers. Simulations show that the circuit may be expected to work well as a voltage-controlled attenuator but may react catastrophically when attempting gains greater than unity due to the nonlinearity of the output operational transconductance amplifier. The effect of various mismatches in transistor parameters is studied.
Median Plane Localization of Short Noise Bursts in the Presence of Horizontally Spread White Noise Masker
Authors: Kim Taeho , Pulkki Ville
Published: November 2024

Recent spatial audio techniques involve separating multichannel signals into direct and background parts. However, determining parameters for localizing short sound sources in background sounds remains challenging due to the limited knowledge of spatial hearing resolution. This paper investigates the localization performance when short bursts in the median plane are presented with spectrally similar, horizontally spread broadband noise. Listening tests examined target stimuli in different median plane locations with and without masker noises, using elevation gain, bias, and error rate to evaluate localization performance. The target stimuli comprised aperiodically repeated multiple-burst stimuli with different burst rates and levels and single-burst stimuli with varied duration and levels. The results showed that the burst rate of multiple-burst stimuli had a weak systematic effect on all the criteria for localization performance, regardless of noise. However, extending the duration of single-burst stimuli increased the elevation gain, and the added noise further improved the localization performance. The masker also improved localization performance when the sound level increased, while unmasked stimuli had the opposite effect. The optimal conditions for improving localization performance with background noise found in this study were a signal-to-noise ratio of ≥18 dB.
Room Acoustic Adversarial Neural Network for Robust Sound Event Classification
Authors: Upadhyaya Sreenivasa , Buyens Wim , Desmet Wim , Karsmakers Peter
Published: November 2024

The variation in the acoustic condition of a room presents a major hurdle in the performance robustness of sound event classification. Room impulse response characterizes the way in which a sound wave is propagated from source to receiver and the overall perceptual quality and intelligibility of the recorded sound. This study presents the Room Acoustic Adversarial Neural Network (RAANN) method that can make sound event classification more robust to changes in acoustic condition by exploiting knowledge regarding the room acoustics during learning. With RAANN, the weighted F1 score for the classification task improved by 1.54 percentage points, and the standard deviation in performance dropped from 1.74 percentage points to 1.07 percentage points for acoustic conditions that were harder than those seen during the learning phase. The Clarity Index over the first 25 ms emerged as a good metric for the acoustic estimation in the RAANN training.

Legal Problems of Compliance with Bank Secret when Performing Transactions Using Payment Cards
Authors: Khomenko E. G.
Published: November 2024

Payment (bank) cards are among the most actively spreading phenomena in the modern world order. However, the problems of preserving information that constitutes banking secrecy in the context of digitalization and the active spread of online payments are of particular importance. Banks are also interested in preventing the disclosure of information constituting a banking secret. However, due to the uncertainty of the current legislation, which establishes the range of information related to bank secrecy, a number of problems arise that need to be analyzed. In the presented article, the author attempts to determine whether the payment card details relate to information constituting a bank secret. Examples from judicial practice in cases arising from disputes between banks and their individual clients regarding the legality of transactions performed by the bank using payment cards are given. It is concluded that the details of the payment cards themselves do not relate to the information constituting a bank secret. They can be considered as a structural element of a banking transaction performed using a payment card.
Savings Account: Changing the Amount of Interest Accrued on the Account Balance
Authors: Kulicheva E. V.
Published: November 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of the current legal norms governing the accrual of interest on the balance on the bank current accounts most in demand recently among individuals, namely the so-called “savings”/”savings” accounts of an individual, and the possibility of a bank changing the amount of accrued interest on the account balance, including by posting information on the establishment of a different amount of interest accrued by the bank on the account balance on the bank’s website on the Internet by analogy with the newly established tariffs and commissions. The necessity and possibility of obtaining the client’s consent by the bank to change the interest accrued on the account balance, as well as the form of such consent, the legal essence of the accrued interest, are analyzed. The analysis of the norms of legislation and practice made it possible to identify the problem that arises when working with the so-called “accumulative” account and come to the conclusion that it is necessary to improve the norms of current legislation.

Authors: Matondang Yogi Michael
Published: November 2024

Sepanjang tahun 2020 hingga 2023, hanya Rp6,9 T dari Rp74,55 T target investasi yang berhasil terealisasi melalui kebijakan tax allowance. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkritisi desain kebijakan tax allowance di Indonesia berdasarkan prinsip-prinsip insentif pajak untuk investasi oleh Easson dan Zolt (2002). Dengan begitu, penelitian ini diharapkan dapat merumuskan kebijakan tax allowance yang lebih efektif dalam mendorong investasi. Penelitian ini bersifat kualitatif. Strategi penelitian yang digunakan adalah studi literatur dan studi kasus. Studi literatur dilakukan melalui pengumpulan dokumen-dokumen dan studi kasus dilakukan melalui wawancara. Interpretasi data dikembangkan melalui analisis normatif dan studi komparatif dengan kebijakan tax allowance di Singapura. Keterbaruan metode membedakan penelitian ini dari penelitian-penelitian terdahulu. Hasil penelitian ini menemukan bahwa desain kebijakan tax allowance di Indonesia masih belum benar-benar berpihak terhadap investasi. Analisis terhadap desain kebijakan menemukan bahwa kriteria investasi belum sederhana, syarat tambahan kompensasi kerugian sulit dipenuhi, saat mulai dimanfaatkannya insentif berlaku terlalu awal, durasi insentif pendek, dan pengurang penghasilan neto tidak benar-benar dapat diutilisasi sepenuhnya. Oleh karena itu, pemerintah perlu melakukan sejumlah perubahan pada kebijakan tax allowance agar lebih efektif menarik investasi.

Effect of dietary approaches to stop hypertension and curcumin co-administration on glycemic parameters in polycystic ovary syndrome: An RCT
Authors: Zohrabi Tayebeh , Nadjarzadeh Azadeh , Jambarsang Sara , Sheikhha Mohammad Hasan , Aflatoonian Abbas , Mozaffari-Khosravi Hassan
Published: November 2024

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder that can lead to major reproductive and metabolic complications. Management of glycemic parameters is an important step to improve the symptoms of PCOS.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effects of the dietary approaches to stop hypertension (DASH) diet and curcumin (Cur) co-administration on glycemic parameters in normal weight and overweight/obese women with PCOS undergoing in vitro fertilization.
Materials and Methods: In this double-blind randomized clinical study, 104 infertile women with PCOS were divided into 4 intervention groups considering treatment conditions and body mass index. They received 500 mg twice daily of Cur or placebo (Pls) along with DASH or a standard diet (St) based on macronutrient composition (52% carbohydrate, 18% protein, and 30% fat) for 12 wk, (DASH + Cur, DASH + Pls, St + Cur, St + Pls). The effect of these interventions on fasting blood sugar and insulin levels, insulin resistance (IR), and insulin sensitivity were determined.
Results: Participants adhered to the intervention protocol (> 80%). Insulin levels in the supplement intervention (Cur + diet) decreased significantly in the crude model. They remained significant even after adjusting for confounding variables in adjusted models (body mass index classification, energy difference, age, and physical activity levels at the baseline) (ß = -45.3, 95% CI [-73.23, -17.46], p = 0.002). Homeostasis model assessment of IR decreased significantly in the supplement intervention even after controlling for confounding factors in adjusted models. Changes in fasting blood sugar and insulin sensitivity were not significant in either the crude or adjusted models.
Conclusion: The study results show that adding Cur to the diet can positively reduce insulin levels, improve IR, and lead to faster recovery of hyperinsulinemia. Cur supplementation with a healthy diet has synergistic beneficial effects on glycemic parameters. Larger clinical trials with longer durations are needed to confirm these results.

Expression of steroidogenesis pathway genes in cumulus cells from women with diminished ovarian reserve after gonadotropin administration: A case-control study
Authors: Ahmadnia Zahra , Montazeri Fateme , Dashti Saeideh , Sheikhha Mohammad Hasan , Lotfi Marzieh
Published: November 2024

Background: Women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) respond differently to gonadotropin medications.
Objective: This study investigates the relationship between effective gene expression in the steroidogenesis pathway and gonadotropin responsiveness in DOR.
Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, cumulus cells were obtained from women with DOR after gonadotropin administration (n = 20) and normal ovarian reserve (n = 20). They were divided into the following groups, oocyte number < 3 and oocyte number > 3. After RNA extraction and cDNA synthesis, quantitative polymerase chain reaction was performed to assess the expression levels of cytochrome P450 aromatase (CYP19A1), protein kinase A (PKA), and glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3B) genes.
Results: The women with DOR had statistically significant lower expression of CYP19A1 and PKA genes in their cumulus cells compared to control group (p = 0.04, and p < 0.001, respectively). There was also lower expression of the GSK3B gene in DOR compared to control group, but it was not significant. Although the expression of the CYP19A1, PKA, and GSK3B genes was lower in women with < 3 oocytes compared to women with more oocytes, this difference was not statistically significant.
Conclusion: In conclusion, DOR may be associated with lower expression of CYP19A1 and PKA genes. Also, considering the decrease in the expression of these genes in people with DOR, the expression of these genes can be used as a tool to predict the treatment.
Key words: Ovarian, Reserve, Steroidogenesis, CYP19A1, PKA, GSK3B, Gonadotropin.

Authors: Farshchian Nazanin , Kamangar Parisa Bahrami , Ghasempour Mohammad Reza
Published: November 2024

Background: Obesity in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is an acceptable marker in assessing the risk of heart disease.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the CIMT in PCOS women compared to non-PCOS women.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 48 women who referred to Imam Reza hospital, Kermanshah, Iran from July 2020–2021. Women were divided into 2 groups of PCOS and non-PCOS women (n = 24/each). The intima-media thickness of participants’ carotid artery was measured on both sides in 3 areas, and its mean was recorded.
Results: The mean thickness of the carotid artery intima-media in the case group was within the normal range; but it was significantly higher than the control group (0.71 ± 0.17 vs. 0.57 ± 0.09 mm, p = 0.019).
Conclusion: Considering the higher thickness of CIMT in women with PCOS, it can be concluded that PCOS increases the risk of heart diseases in women.

The Lesson of a Overstrained Collapsed Empire and an Exhausted Society
Authors: Tulchinskii G.L.
Published: November 2024

The article contains an attempt to trace the action of conceptual political factors that ensured the formation and caused the collapse of the Soviet state. Particular attention is paid to the relationship between internationalism and national politics, the specifics of the Soviet political elite, and its ambiguous role in the late Soviet stage of the country's development. These factors action was combined with a doctrinally supported explanation of the exclusivity of the political regime and its special universal role. This practice led to the depletion of economic and human resources, to the formation of a “weakened society”, deprived of the ability and skill of political civil initiative.
From Political Equilibrium to the Decrepitude of the State
Authors: Makarenko V.P.
Published: November 2024

In Russia, the fifth edition (after 1991) of N. Ya. Danilevsky's book "Russia and Europe" was recently published. In the annotation to the book, the author is called "a great Russian thinker, the founder of the doctrine of civilizations, who substantiated the idea that there is no and cannot be a universal human civilization". Judging by the frequency of reprints (approximately one edition every 5-6 years), Danilevsky's given definition contains a hidden reference to the Soviet experience: in the USSR, individual works by the classics of the Soviet version of Marxism were published annually, while collected works were published less frequently compared to the rate at which "Russia and Europe" is currently published. During the 74 years of Soviet power, the collected works of K. Marx and F. Engels were published twice, and the collected works of V. I. Lenin were published five times. "As of January 1, 1990, Lenin's works had been published in our country in a total circulation of over 653 million copies in 125 languages!.. Some works were especially "lucky". Thus, the speech about the imminent communist future - "The Tasks of the Youth Unions" - was published 660 times in a circulation of almost 50 million copies in 96 languages!". The unwritten rule of such publishing practice is: a classic is someone who contributed to the creation and strengthening of the USSR. Therefore, the works of the classics of the Soviet version of Marxism turned into a source of political and ideological dogmatism, quotational thinking and constant state income through multiple reprints. A simple calculation shows that over the past thirty years, the publication of Russia and Europe has also served the transition from the slogans of “new thinking,” “a common path of civilization,” and “Europe is our common home” to the current propaganda of “spiritual bonds” and “traditional values” of Russia. But the USSR collapsed. The Soviet era lost its role as a criterion for the reproduction and evaluation of everything and everyone. In place of the former USSR, 15 states emerged, including Russia. Can Danilevsky be considered a classic of Russia? A coin of the Bank of Russia has already been issued in his honor, on which, together with a bas-relief of the author, an open book “Russia and Europe” is depicted. The article provides an author’s essay on the emerging issues.

Authors:   , Gomez Calderon Veralucia , Ponce de Leon Caceres Andrea del Carmen
Published: November 2024

Los superfoods peruanos son alimentos naturales que se caracterizan por su alto valor nutricional. El Perú se destaca en la producción de superfoods debido a su biodiversidad, capacidad exportadora y conocimientos ancestrales en la agricultura. Sin embargo, la ausencia de procesos sostenibles en la cadena logística y de suministros conlleva a que el Perú no sea líder en agroexportaciones de superfoods a nivel mundial. Por tal motivo, la presente investigación se basa en analizar la relación entre la agrologística inteligente y la cadena de suministro sostenible de empresas agroexportadoras peruanas de superfoods. Para la variable independiente que es agrologística inteligente se tomaron las dimensiones de blockchain, internet de las cosas, inteligencia artificial y para la variable dependiente que es la cadena de suministro sostenible se tomaron las dimensiones de sostenibilidad ambiental, sostenibilidad económica y sostenibilidad social. Para el desarrollo de la investigación se aplicó un enfoque cuantitativo de alcance correlacional y de diseño no experimental transversal. El instrumento aplicado fueron cuestionarios que fueron validados por 3 expertos con experiencia profesional relevante. Con respecto a la recolección de datos del instrumento se consideró a 30 personas que trabajan en empresas agroexportadoras de superfoods de la Lima región. Para medir la fiabilidad del instrumento a aplicar, se utilizó el alfa de Cronbach obteniendo un resultado de 0.969 lo cual indica que el grado de fiabilidad del instrumento es alto.

Esta facilidad para generar interacción las convierte en espacios ideales para la oferta de productos y servicios, la publicidad, el posicionamiento de marca y las transacciones comerciales. En ese sentido, la presente investigación busca identificar de forma empírica los factores que inciden en la aceptación de las redes sociales por parte de las mypes del sector textil de Lima Centro. En cuanto a estos factores, se examinan específicamente los relacionados a la expectativa de rendimiento, la expectativa de esfuerzo, la influencia social y las condiciones facilitadoras, todos estos como parte de la teoría unificada de aceptación y uso de la tecnología. El presente trabajo ayuda a las empresas del sector en cuestión a identificar los factores a tener en consideración durante el proceso de adopción de las redes sociales como parte de su estrategia comercial. Asimismo, contribuye como fuente de información a organizaciones públicas y privadas relacionadas al ecosistema empresarial textil de la ciudad de Lima.

La presente investigación propuso “Estándares de control de la calidad de los modelos BIM usados en la etapa de diseño en edificaciones multifamiliares de Lima Metropolitana” a fin de poder reducir los retrabajos en el modelamiento en la etapa de diseño. Se pretendía proponer estándares para realizar un control de calidad en la etapa del modelamiento del modelo BIM. Los estándares de calidad se presentarán en un formato de checklist; para su desarrollo se recurrió al uso de encuestas y entrevistas a distintos especialistas BIM con el fin de recaudar información necesaria donde las experiencias de cada modelador y con las deficiencias expuestas por los expertos se obtuvieron como resultado final la ausencia de estándares normados para el modelamiento BIM en la etapa de diseño. Es por ello que se plantean estándares que ayudarían a realizar un control de calidad al modelador BIM en la etapa de modelamiento. El uso de estándares permitió que no se realizaran retrabajos, ocasionando un ahorro en horas-hombre en el modelamiento de 3 proyectos, se cuantificó un ahorro de 13.23 % promedio en el tiempo de trabajo, demostrando así resultados positivos. En general, el control de calidad en la fase de diseño de proyectos basados en BIM busca minimizar los errores, mejorar la eficiencia y reducir los riesgos en las etapas posteriores del proyecto. Al asegurar la calidad del modelo BIM desde el principio, se puede lograr una mayor precisión, colaboración y eficacia en todo el ciclo de vida del proyecto.

La comprensión lectura, es un aspecto esencial y un pilar fundamental en el crecimiento intelectual de todos los jóvenes y adultos, el cual presenta graves problemas y deficiencias a nivel nacional. A pesar del crecimiento tecnológico y económico, la implementación de estructuras aptas para este cambio radical a lo digital no ha sido la óptima ni la requerida para los usuarios. La institución encargada de afrontar esta problemática es la biblioteca dirigida por un ente estatal. Tras ser vista como una institución flexible a cambios y adaptarse a su entorno, tanto digital como físico, es incierta hacia el futuro. La biblioteca representa una estructura fundamental en el acercamiento a una educación y aprendizaje óptimo para la actualidad o los años próximos. El documento presente se encarga de explorar las posibilidades arquitectónicas, desde una perspectiva permeable al tiempo, con el fin de reconocer y mostrar el valor, importancia e impacto que generan las bibliotecas en una ciudad.

Published: November 2024

La presente investigación propone un Polideportivo en el Parque Ribereño Chuquitanta, el cual se encuentra ubicado en el distrito de San Martin de Porres en Lima/ Perú, siendo el segundo distrito con mayor población y a su vez el que tiene mayor déficit en infraestructura deportiva. Sin embargo, progresivamente se fue incrementando las perdidas por m2 de áreas verdes. Los objetivos del proyecto son los siguientes: brindar oportunidades a niños de 5-12 años y adolescentes de 12-16 años con habilidades deportivas. Además, de integrar a la comunidad mediante eventos deportivos y espacios de vinculación deportiva. El proyecto se desarrolla en el sector VI de SMP, que se encuentra en proceso de expansión con proyección a un crecimiento poblacional, además, de la carencia de intervención policial e infraestructura en general. En este distrito no solo se identifica la carencia de complejos deportivos sino de otros tipos de instalaciones deportivas, como coliseos municipales y gimnasios. El principal objetivo de esta investigación reside en mitigar los siguientes problemas: la delincuencia, la falta de infraestructura deportiva de calidad y la falta de educación deportiva. Además, de enfocarse en un énfasis en espacios compartidos busca generar espacios de integración social, no solo para los jóvenes deportistas en formación, sino también, para la comunidad, la continuidad espacial, la relación interior-exterior y la accesibilidad.

El objetivo del estudio fue conocer cuáles son las creencias sobre la relación de pareja de los jóvenes luego de su experiencia ante el divorcio de sus padres. En la presente investigación se utilizó una aproximación cualitativa fenomenológica, realizando una entrevista semiestructurada a 12 participantes (jóvenes entre 20 a 25 años). Con relación a dichas creencias, los jóvenes identifican que estas se vieron influenciadas por la vivencia del divorcio de sus padres y su propia experiencia de pareja, en tal sentido, identificaron tres creencias: Percepciones en torno al Romance, los participantes señalan que se debería expresar con el cariño hacia la pareja; Percepciones sobre el Compromiso, para ellos, una relación debería tener como pilar la fidelidad y ganas de mantener la relación. Finalmente, la Intimidad, los participantes mencionan que las relaciones tendrían que tener confianza y conexión con el otro. Estos tres elementos configuran las creencias que tienen en torno a la definición de una relación, así como la influencia de la generación a la cual pertenecen. Se concluye que los participantes refieren que sus creencias son influenciadas tanto por sus experiencias de relación de pareja y el divorcio de sus padres configurando la manera en la cual se relacionan.
Propuesta de implementación de la metodología Measured Mile para mejorar el sustento técnico en el reconocimiento de sobrecostos frente a la desestimación de los reclamos por pérdida de productividad en proyectos de construcción de Presas de Relaves en la zona centro del Perú, bajo un enfoque recomendado por el AACE

Por lo general, un Proyecto de Construcción de Mina presenta diversos tipos de afectaciones originados por una serie de eventos que generan cambios en el plan de trabajo, proceso de producción e incluso en la metodología constructiva. En consecuencia, se pueden generar impactos en la productividad que podrán ser sustentables como adicionales de obra, siempre y cuando se encuentren fuera de la gestión del contratista. Sin embargo, este tipo de adicionales resultan complejos por la necesidad de demostrar causalidad y estimar con precisión los sobrecostos. Ante esta realidad, la Milla Medida se presenta como la metodología más aceptada a nivel internacional, ofreciendo una base sólida para resolver este problema. El objetivo de la tesis es proponer la implementación de la metodología en la construcción de Presas de Relaves, aplicado en cinco escenarios disruptivos dentro de dos importantes minas ubicadas en la zona centro del Perú, considerando las prácticas recomendadas por el AACE. Esta propuesta permitirá a los gestores de proyectos identificar las relaciones causa-efecto y analizar las disrupciones, estimando su impacto en la pérdida de productividad y enfrentando exitosamente reclamos por sobrecostos. La propuesta de implementación fue validada a través de juicio de expertos por profesionales con una amplia experiencia en gestión de proyectos en construcción y minería. Se concluye el resultado de la tesis como una aplicación exitosa de la Milla Medida en base al cumplimiento del principal objetivo de la metodología que es el de optimizar la gestión del proyecto hacia un rumbo cada vez más eficiente y con menos sobrecostos.
