Enhanced Vacuum for brake booster with Venturi effect
Authors: Suryavanshi Yogesh , Ravikant Raju  , Deshmukh Vinod
Published: January 2025

We normally see that in naturally aspirated Gasoline & CNG engines there is no separate vacuum pump is provided for vacuum brake booster operation. In such vehicles, braking system is solely dependent on vacuum generated by the engine at intake manifold. This vacuum generated by engine has certain limitations. Also there is always variation in vacuum generation by engine due to various operating conditions, engine loads, environmental conditions etc. but brake booster requires stable vacuum for efficient operation.
It is observed that in heavy traffic, when frequent braking happens, sometimes brake pedal becomes hard due to lack of required vacuum by engine. This problem is prominent in DCT & AMT vehicles as brake operations are more in these vehicles compared to manual transmission vehicles. Thus braking efficiency decreases resulting in dangerous situation. To avoid this there is always a demand from brake system for more & stable vacuum.
To satisfy above requirement, a simple yet very useful & cost effective arrangement of Venturi nozzle is studied & results are explained in this paper. This concept is useful & applicable to motor vehicles using vacuum assisted braking system where vacuum source is solely dependent on vacuum generated by an engine which is available at engine intake manifold & there is no separate arrangement available like independent vacuum pump. Due to venturi effect, vacuum at brake booster is enhanced & always greater than the source i.e. engine vacuum in any condition. Hence helps to maintain the brake performance in all working conditions of the engine.
Keywords: Brake booster, vacuum assisted brake system, venturi effect, vacuum requirement for booster, brake force amplification, vacuum intensifier, vacuum pump, venturi nozzle, vacuum booster, hydraulic brake system

Aim: The interaction of concomitant benzodiazepine (BZD) exposure during immune checkpoint blockade has not been comprehensively investigated to date. This research aimed to determine the influence of BZD intake on the survival outcomes of patients with metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving pembrolizumab-based therapies.
Methods: We included consecutive patients with advanced NSCLC who were given frontline pembrolizumab, whether as exclusive therapy or combined with platinum-based chemotherapy. The classification of BZD relied on the molecular composition, distinguishing between N-substituted and N-unsubstituted compounds.
Results: During the time frame from April 2018 to May 2023, we enrolled 258 patients, 156 (60.5%) and 102 (39.5%) of whom received pembrolizumab alone or the combination regimen, respectively. We identified 108 (41.8%) exposed patients (BZD cohort) in comparison to all others (no-BZD cohort). After applying propensity-score matching, 108 cases were relevant for each cohort. After a median follow-up of 16.3 [95% confidence interval (CI) 13.1–19.7] months, univariate analysis revealed no significant differences in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) or overall survival (OS) between BZD cohorts. However, patients exposed to N-substituted compounds had significantly longer PFS and OS than those who did not take BZD. Conversely, patients exposed to N-unsubstituted compounds experienced significantly shortened OS. Multivariate testing showed that taking unspecified BZD had no impact on PFS or OS, while N-substituted BZD exposure correlated independently with longer PFS [hazard ratio (HR) 0.52 (95% CI 0.34–0.79); P = 0.002] and OS [HR 0.58 (95% CI 0.38–0.88); P < 0.001]. In contrast, N-unsubstituted BZD intake had worsening effects on OS [HR 1.92 (95% CI 1.20–3.06); P = 0.006].
Conclusions: BZD exposure may impact the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with advanced NSCLC. The specific composition may influence the choice among different compounds.

Dynamic Maintenance based on Fuzzy Logic
Authors: Lampreia Suzana , Mestre Inês , Morgado Teresa , Navas Helena
Published: January 2025

Currently, certain maritime assets face the challenge of optimizing their performance despite limited resources. They aim to minimize intervention actions on equipment while maintaining safety standards and acceptable performance levels. Ships, which are not yet autonomous, serve as maritime assets responsible for transporting personnel and systems. Keeping these ships operating at a high level of performance is crucial to ensuring the safety of both materials and personnel. This not only prevents damage to the ships but also reduces the risk of injuries to personnel and sea pollution. Organizations, the scientific community, and stakeholders have been actively developing advanced systems to monitor data from ship equipment within the scope of maintenance management. These efforts help prevent breakdowns and provide real-time information about the equipment’s condition. These systems use various techniques for condition monitoring, including algorithms, statistical equations, and other methodologies applied to the collected data. In this study, Fuzzy Logic will be applied to data from selected equipment. Specifically, an air compressor from an ocean patrol vessel has been chosen for the case study. This air compressor is essential for Navy ships and has been selected by the Organization’s Maintenance Management Centre to monitor working hours and operational status.
Coding the Efficient Privacy Policy: Striking a Balance between Lexical Density and Readability
Authors: Alić Marta
Published: January 2025

Privacy policies play a crucial role in informing individuals about how their personal data is collected, used, and protected. However, the effectiveness of these policies can be hindered by their complexity and lack of readability. This paper aims to explore the relationship between two variables - lexical density and text readability to derive efficient privacy policies text. By striking a balance in document coding the rate of information entropy can be managed, as well as efficiency in transparency tools. The results of privacy policies of 146 healthcare institutions in the Republic of Croatia were analyzed for their lexical density and Flesch Reading Ease (FRE) score. The implications of findings on compared results can be useful in crafting optimal privacy policy, whether one should focus on text richness through improved density or on simplicity in text understanding.

Published: January 2025

The goal of this research is to explore how Entrepreneurial Marketing affects Small and Medium Enterprises’ performance in Jordan and to understand how technological turbulence can mediate the correlation between Entrepreneurial Marketing and Small and Medium Enterprises’ performance. The research can be classified as quantitative, descriptive, and cause-effect. Moreover, it uses convenience sampling and a cross-section approach to gather data through a survey. The data were gathered from 211 owners/managers, who work in Jordanian SMEs, particularly those who worked in the technology industry. Data were entered using SPSS-25, and then the validity, normality, and reliability were checked before testing hypotheses. The findings show that Entrepreneurial Marketing affects Small and Medium Enterprises’ performance, where Stakeholder Orientation is rated the highest effect, followed by Opportunity Focus and Value Creation respectively. Calculated Risk-taking, Pro-activeness, Resource Leveraging, Innovativeness, and Networking do not affect Small and Medium Enterprises’ performance significantly. Furthermore, results showed that technological turbulence did not act as a moderate correlation between Entrepreneurial Marketing and Small and Medium Enterprises’ performance.

The Bangladesh crisis: a wake-up call for south Asia
Authors:   Tri-Chandra Multiple Campus, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal, Thapa Santa Bahadur
Published: January 2025

Eliminating Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in Bangladesh sparked protests, and military intervention in South Asia is a significant factor. Using a qualitative methodology that combines document analysis and a review of various literature, this study looks into the reasons behind the crisis and how events unfolded by different actors involved and ended between countries within the region.

Results show the steady decay of democratic standards during the 15 years of Hasina's reign, with suppression of speech, curtailment of dissent, and election rigging. Low-level discontent caused by intractable socio-economic inequities, rising prices, and unemployment combined with ethnic issues (not least discrimination against minorities) increased social tensions. The crisis was further complicated by external interference from regional powers, particularly India and China, which challenged the sovereignty of Bangladesh.

Reservation schemes meant to uplift these marginalized groups were subverted for political advantage, based on which tensions and inequality only increased. The crisis highlights the visceral need for democratic norms, inclusive governance and equity, and resilience to external interference. It details the regional consequences of the crisis, which range from potential spill-over in neighboring states to disruption of regional trade and investment to possible rising instability. It urges South Asian countries to lower their political temperature, re-commit to democratic norms and values, strengthen socioeconomic realities, and institutionalize regional cooperation to avoid a repeat of such crises.

Quantifying the ability of the CF2H group as a hydrogen bond donor
Authors: Paolella Matthew E , Honeycutt Daniel S , Lipka Bradley M , Goldberg Jacob M , Wang Fang
Published: January 2025

The CF2H group can act as a hydrogen bond donor, serving as a potential surrogate for OH or SH groups but with a weaker hydrogen bond donation ability. Here, we describe a series of CF2H group-containing moieties that facilitate hydrogen bond interactions. We survey hydrogen bond donation ability using several established methods, including 1H NMR-based hydrogen bond acidity determination, UV–vis spectroscopy titration with Reichardt's dye, and 1H NMR titration using tri-n-butylphosphine oxide as a hydrogen bond acceptor. Our experiments reveal that the direct attachment of the CF2H group to cationic aromatic systems significantly enhances its hydrogen bond donation ability, a result consistent with theoretical calculations. We anticipate that this chemistry will be valuable for designing functional molecules for chemical biology and medicinal chemistry applications.

Efectividad del Etamsilato en la Pérdida Sanguínea y el Perfil Hematológico en Cirugía de Columna Toracolumbar
Authors: Carreras Jimenez Robert Johnatan , López Estrada Drusso
Published: January 2025

Introducción: el sangrado en cirugía de columna es una complicación  frecuente, con una incidencia que varía del 1%  al 10% de los casos, dependiendo el tipo de procedimiento, la localización de la lesión y la experiencia del cirujano.  Por tal motivo, se han empleado diversas estrategias, con la finalidad de disminuir estas complicaciones. Así pues, durante varios años se han empleado el etamsilato  como medicamento  hemostático en procedimientos quirúrgicos. No obstante, existen escasos reportes sobre el uso y la experiencia del mismo en las cirugías de columna. Por tal motivo, el presente trabajo tiene como objetivo en determinar la efectividad del etamsilato en la pérdida sanguínea y el perfil hematológico en cirugía de columna toracolumbar en pacientes con trauma raquimedular. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio experimental, prospectivo, longitudinal, donde se incluyeron 37 pacientes, distribuidos en dos grupos, sin y con etamsilato (n=19 y n=18, respectivamente). Se registró la pérdida sanguínea en el transoperatorio y el perfil hemático de los pacientes. Asimismo, se comparó el antes y el después de los niveles de hemoglobina y hematocrito. Los datos fueron analizados en el SPSS versión 29.0. Resultados: La población de estudio se caracterizó predominantemente por hombres de la cuarta y quinta década de la vida. Las características sociodemográficas (edad y sexo) y el perfil hematológico (la hemoglobina, el hematocrito, plaquetas, TP, TPT e INR) de los pacientes fueron similares en los grupos sin y con etamsilato. En cambio, el sangrado transoperatorio fue menor en los pacientes tratados con etamsilato. Concretamente, se redujo un 50% en los pacientes con etamsilato. No obstante, el uso del etamsilato no previene la disminución de los niveles de la hemoglobina, pero sí, previene la disminución de los niveles del hematocrito después de la cirugía toracolumbar. Conclusión: El etamsilato es efectivo para disminuir la pérdida sanguínea y los niveles del hematocrito en la cirugía de columna toracolumbar en pacientes sin comorbilidades. Por tal motivo, con los datos obtenidos en este estudio, se recomienda el uso del etamsilato en los adultos sin comorbilidades.

Data to the distribution and ecology of Ophrys tetraloniae W.P. Teschner (Orchidaceae)
Authors: Molnár V. Attila , Óvári Miklós , Kis Szabolcs , Bak Henrietta , Fekete Réka
Published: January 2025

During studies of European orchids in anthropogenic habitats (such as roadsides, cemeteries, and tree plantations), we unexpectedly encountered previously unrecorded occurrences of Ophrys tetraloniae in Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina. By utilising taxonomically verified data from both published literature and online resources, we present an updated distribution map for the species. Considering recent climatic trends and the expansion of other orchid species with similar habitat preferences, a northward range extension of Ophrys tetraloniae is likely. In Montenegro, we documented pseudocopulatory pollination by a male Eucera fulvescens. A comparison of the phenology of Ophrys tetraloniae and its pollinator revealed that, although both the orchid's flowering period and the bee's swarming period span approximately two months, the median date of the orchid's flowering is significantly earlier (4th June) than the median date of the bee's swarming (1st July). This phenological discrepancy may be attributed to deceptive pollination: earlier-flowering individuals of the orchid are more likely to encounter virgin and naïve male bees of the protandrous species, thereby enhancing reproductive success.

Authors: T Ningappa , - Siddappa
Published: January 2025

In the present era, there has been a growing trend of concern among society regarding environmental issues. Consumers are now more conscious of environmental matters; however, they still hesitate when it comes to buying and utilizing eco-friendly products. This research aimed to explore the influence of consumers' perceptions, reference groups, and lifestyles on their buying intention of eco-friendly products. Additionally, it investigated the promotional activities on buying intention towards eco-friendly products. The study also examined the relation between buying intention and buying behaviour of eco-friendly products. To validate the research model, the researcher collected data from 150 consumers in Tumakuru City, Karnataka, who had experience in buying and using eco-friendly products. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling are statistical techniques used in the research to examine the relationships between observed variables and latent constructs using SPSS 20.0 and AMOS 26.0. The specific results of the verification are as follows. Firstly, the four independent variables such as promotional activities, perception, reference group, and lifestyle have a substantial influence on the buying intention of eco-friendly products. Secondly, there is a significant relationship between buying intention and buying behaviour of eco-friendly products. These findings contribute to the available body of literature regarding eco-friendly consumption by shedding light on the intention-behaviour gap. Moreover, the theoretical implications of these findings lie in understanding the factors that influence consumers' buying intentions and behaviour towards buying eco-friendly products, while the practical implications provide insights into how to encourage the consumer to become environment-friendly behaviour by buying/utilizing environment-friendly products and also indulge managers in the implications of environment-friendly practices in the manufacturing, delivering and encouraging more number of consumers to make use of eco-friendly products for sustainable development of the nation.

The ultimate goal of this project was to carry out a systematic or formal inquiry to discover influences which affect students’ practice of speaking skills in Ankesha Senior Secondary and Preparatory School, Ethiopia: focus on 9th grade. The researcher focused primarily on factors related to teachers and students such as elements related to student roles, classrooms and teaching materials. Based on the objectives, the researcher used various devices so as to gather data for the success of this paper project. Those were class observations, student and teacher surveys, and interviews. The data was categorized and descriptively evaluated. The researcher had the population of 487, 9 grade students. Among those populations, the researcher selected 220 samples by using Tare Yamani (1967) sample size calculation formula. The results showed that the inappropriate abilities of speaking skills, techniques and procedures were implemented in the class where this research was conducted. The researcher observed while teachers taught speaking in a backward manner, with a focus mostly on students' reading comprehension. Updated and currently needed ways of teaching the skill were not applied in the classrooms as the researcher’s findings vividly displayed. The curriculum of education in Ethiopia encourages student centered approach of learning. However, as the reports of findings and observation of the researcher, the teacher dominated full time of the class. The necessary speaking skill improvement activities of the students such as, oral practices, pair or group discussions, interviews each other, dialogues or conversations were not implemented. The spoon feeding way of teaching and learning approach was applied. Instead of the teacher covering the whole class, it should have been better to make the students autonomous learners. Improper speaking has resulted in poor student speaking performance. To this end, this research paper makes recommendations that may change the ways or methods of teaching the skill of speaking at the research conducted class level (grade 9). It showed the right path to implement modern techniques how to teach and learn speaking skills in English classrooms. After all, the findings of this research paper may undoubtedly enable to inspire educational curriculum designers how to design and prepare the contents of the speaking skills for their students.

INDEXING AND DESCRIPTION OF FLORA IN SANKAR DEV'S LITERATURE: A CRITICAL REVIEW
Authors: Das Dulu Moni
Published: January 2025

The backbone of “Bor Asom”, Jagat Guru Srimanta Sankardev who united the diversified culture and heritage of Medieval Assam is also a naturalist and man with scientific temper and attributes. The love and affection of Sankardev for nature and his knowledge about flora are beautifully described in his writings. But in his description most of the names of flora are found in Sanskrit or Brajawali language and many plants are found to be unfamiliar for the present generation. Moreover, the descriptions of flora were lacking systematic botanical studies due to the lack of development of the subject concept at that time. The present study tried to identify and validate the flora mentioned by Srimanta Sankardev in his literature which may bring implications for future research studies.

Purpose. To analyse the changes in local immunity in the oral fluid of servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with chronic catarrhal gingivitis depending on their psycho-emotional state. Material and methods. The study of local oral immunity in oral fluid was conducted in 22 military patients of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with chronic catarrhal gingivitis (main group), in 11 patients of civilian specialties with chronic catarrhal gingivitis (comparison group), and in 16 dentally healthy individuals (control group). Additionally, military patients in the main group were divided into 4 subgroups depending on their psychoemotional state. The determination of sIgA in the oral fluid was performed by the method of Mancini et al. The photoelectrocolorimetric method was used to measure lysozyme activity in the oral fluids of patients. The content of cortisol in the oral fluid of patients in the study groups was determined by a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results. As a result of the laboratory studies, it was found that in patients with chronic catarrhal gingivitis, military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine had a 1.2-fold decrease in the content of sIgA in the oral fluid (p<0.01) and lysozyme activity (p<0.05), against the background of an increase in cortisol levels by 61.18 % (p<0.01) compared to the data in the comparison group. Conclusion. Thus, summing up the data of laboratory studies, it can be stated that patients of the main group (military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine) with chronic catarrhal gingivitis have a more pronounced weakening of local oral immunity, which is manifested by a decrease in sIgA levels and lysozyme activity, compared with similar data in the comparison group (patients of civilian professions) with chronic catarrhal gingivitis. At the same time, the imbalance of immunological parameters deepened with the deterioration of the psychoemotional state of patients in the main group, which was confirmed by an increase in the level of cortisol in the oral fluid.
