Authors: Singh Devesh Pratap , Yadav Sharad , Sisodia Naman , Mishra Dipesh Kumar , Singh Rabesh Kumar
Published: September 2024

This study includes an experimental study of the effect of input process parameters on output parameters during the EDM of C-20 mild steel. Deionized water is being investigated as a sustainable alternative to Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) oil, reducing toxic emissions and enhancing process sustainability. ANOVA results revealed that current and voltage had the largest impact on MRR, while TON significantly affected TWR and TON had the greatest influence on surface roughness. The study found that increasing the current and voltage resulted in significant increases in MRR (164.78% and 99.49%, respectively) and TWR (21.19% and 26.02%, respectively). However, an improve in TON led to a decrease in TWR (by 66.7%) but an increase in MRR (by 59.57%). Increased current, voltage, and TON result in a 74.34%, 72.14%, and 108.15% improvement in surface roughness, respectively. The Grey relational analyses were used for best optimum result which comes on parameters current 12 amps, voltage 20 volts and TON 200 μs.

Published: September 2024

A sensitive and selective nanostructured zinc oxide-based chemically modified screen-printed electrode as an electrochemical interface for the electroanalytical determination of nitrite ions at trace concentration level is demonstrated. Zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized through a green chemical approach. The resulting particles have been thoroughly analyzed using spectroscopic techniques. The aqueous colloidal solution of well-characterized NPs is prepared and subsequently applied in the chemical modification of screen-printed electrodes. Electrochemical techniques have been to explore the electrochemical nature of the chemically modified interface. Cyclic voltammetry was used to decipher activity for the electro-oxidation of nitrite and differential pulse voltammetry has been used to achieve lower detection limits. The developed sensor showed a dynamic range of up to 800 μM with a detection limit of 0.5 μM. Finally, the long-range analytical applicability has been validated by determining the nitrite levels from various real samples like borewell and sewage water, orange, sweet lemon, tomato, and egg samples. The sensor showed good stability with a deviation of ± 7 %.

Authors: Sisodia Manas , Kumar Mayank , Sharma Rishabh , Ansari Ahmed
Published: September 2024

The piston of an internal combustion engine is one of the key players in determining energy efficiency and it is constantly subjected to very high temperatures and pressure. As a result, the amount of structural and thermal stresses on a piston are very high due to its continuous reciprocating motion. In case of bad structure or material selection, the piston may fail. So, an analysis of the thermal and static structural stresses has been done considering the piston of the “Wärtsilä 32” marine diesel engine. The Wärtsilä 32 engine is one of the most commonly used and affordable marine engines that has been in production for over 30 years. It was introduced to address the market demand for a new engine in the 320 mm cylinder bore class. Since its launch in 1998, a large number of units of this engine have been sold to the marine market. The piston is designed using the SolidWorks software taking the dimensions from the resources on the internet and the analysis was carried out using ANSYS. Different materials were taken such as Stainless Steel, Gray cast iron, Aluminium alloy, and Titanium alloy in a search for better material. The best material among these materials has been suggested based on the results of the analysis.

Analysis of Surface Roughness, Cutting Force and Cutting Fluid Consumption in Turning Operation with and Without Use of Cutting Fluid Optimizer
Authors: Sisodia Naman , Singh Mahip , Singh Rabesh Kumar , Sharma Anuj Kumar , Dixit Amit Rai
Published: September 2024

In the present work, cutting fluid consumption, surface roughness, component of forces and tool temperature were analyzed with and without online regulation cutting fluid. Cutting Fluid Optimizer (CFO) is a device that automatically regulates the supply of cutting fluid based on the temperature of the tool tip generated during the machining. Taguchi orthogonal L9 is employed for design of experiments using MINITAB-21. Every experiment was conducted on mild steel work material with use of a tungsten carbide tool insert on the conventional lathe. The best parameter is determined via grey relational analysis. Optimal condition of regulation of coolant with the Cutting Fluid Optimizer (CFO) and non-regulation of coolant with the cutting fluid optimizer are compared. Minimum surface roughness, machining forces, tool–work piece temperature was recorded in case of non-regulation of cutting fluid with the CFO at the cost of the consuming large amount cutting fluid. However, regulation of cutting fluid with the CFO was able to reduce coolant consumption by 15.3% but significantly resulting 3.3 % increase in component of forces, surface roughness and tool-work piece temperature.

Published: September 2024

The deflection analyses performed using MSC/NASTRAN on skew plates under different loads such as (concentrated and uniformly distributed loads) for clamped boundary conditions are presented in the present study. The CQUAD4 and CQUAD8 components of MSC/NASTRAN are verified using values from the literature. The CQUAD8 element was employed in the present experiments because it had been found to produce more effective results than the CQUAD4 element. For isotropic skew plates, the variation of deflection with regards to aspect ratio and length to thickness ratio is provided. With an increase in the skew angle, it appears that the deflections decrease.
Optimization of Chemical Engineering Processes in the Mining and Metal Industry: A Review
Authors: Walke Santosh , Mandake Manoj B.
Published: September 2024

Process optimization is acutely vital: mining and a metal industries research. Through applying modelling and optimization tools, businesses see tremendous improvement in process efficiencies, declining costs of production, and ensuring high quality. The valuable of simulation tools have also been reflected in the design of the virtual plants which make possible to conduct test runs of different process scenarios thereby providing the opportunity to optimize the performance of the plants. So, even if these issues are close to being resolved, some challenges must still be tackled to approach the full field of process optimization enjoyment. One of the main drawbacks is the integration of sustainable development and environmental evaluation into optimization phase. This can be achieved by developing models that are amended to an environmental impact of each process parameters and afterwards an optimization of processes will be based on environment factors. The second challenge is for the research community to come up with more advanced and sophisticated mathematical models that are capable of not only capturing but also depicting the diverse and complex interactions that take place between different processes variables. Such an approach indeed requires implementation of more precise data analysis tools and techniques, including neural networks and genetic algorithms. While there are many difficulties in it way, the process optimization of a bright future is foreseeable. The fast growth of the technological sphere, such as machine-2-machine and big data analytics, enables process optimization which was unavailable before. By implementation of a set of sensors and real-time data analysis plant operators are being provided with necessary information that enables this way to exercise real-time decisions for the sake of the increase of the plant performance. Minimizing energy consumption, increasing the product yield, and less damaging to the environment is a potential focus for the research. Through the application of mathematical models, optimization algorithms, and simulation-based approaches, one can compare the different methods of each process and the produced product yields.
O direito quântico como garantia da igualdade material e hermenêutica em face da sociedade de discursos
Authors: Balera Wagner , Horvath Júnior Miguel , Hasson Sayeg Ricardo , Lavor Terto Junior Luciano
Published: September 2024

No século XX, o positivismo já não ocupa o mesmo espaço na teoria geral do direito. O direito deixa de pertencer à “lei” e passa a ser das “normas”, o sujeito de direito deixa de ser entendido como um coletivo: os seres humanos; e passa a ser visto como um ser único, cujas características demandam atenção para as suas especificidades. Toda esta mudança, que é acompanhada pela complexidade social, exige-nos um novo olhar sobre a Constituição Federal, para além da separação das clássicas teorias do direito: é o que chamamos de Direito Quântico. Com fins de demonstrar a importância teórica e instrumental do deste Direito, em busca da garantia da Igualdade material e hermenêutica, utilizou-se da pesquisa bibliográfica e qualitativa, e do método dedutivo ou cartesiano. A pesquisa apontou que apenas a junção das três teorias clássicas do direito (humanismo, positivismo e realismo) podem atender à necessária especificação de direitos.

La desmovilización en la movilización. Reflexiones a partir de la obra de Pablo Lapegna, La Argentina transgénica “De la resistencia a la adaptación, una etnografía de las poblaciones campesinas”
Authors: Quintana Thea Abril
Published: September 2024

Una de las grandes preguntas a la que se enfrentan los investigadores encargados de analizar y estudiar el fenómeno de los movimientos sociales y la acción colectiva gira en torno a determinar qué ocurre cuando el movimiento social fracasa en su desarrollo como tal, en su permanencia en el tiempo, o incluso en su constitución misma. Generalmente, se lo observa como un proceso negativo, caracterizado por la apatía y la ausencia, ya sea de recursos, de oportunidades políticas, etc. Se trata de una pregunta poco trabajada en el ámbito académico dedicado al estudio de los movimientos sociales, que asimismo impulsa a Lapegna, en su libro La Argentina transgénica, de la resistencia a la adaptación, una etnografía de las poblaciones campesinas, a recuperar el análisis de la desmovilización. El autor parte de la premisa de que se trata de un proceso y un mecanismo en el cual existe decisión y actividad, mientras desafía a aquellas teorías que la caracterizan de manera negativa.
Lapegna analiza desde un enfoque etnográfico un caso en Moreno (Formosa, Argentina), donde el boom sojero y el uso de agroquímicos afecta a toda la población campesina. Allí observa cómo en el año 2003, ante una deriva agroquímica, la comunidad organiza manifestaciones y logra detener la fumigación de los campos aledaños. Sin embargo, en el año 2009, esa misma población, ante la misma situación, no lleva adelante ninguna acción colectiva. A partir de allí, el autor busca profundizar en el estudio de la relación entre políticas clientelares y movimientos sociales para llegar a explicar el proceso de desmovilización.
Factores para el uso intensivo del automóvil en las urbes mexicanas. Entre las variables socioeconómicas y las actitudes hacia la movilidad sustentable
Authors: Calonge-Reillo Fernando
Published: September 2024

A pesar de los múltiples esfuerzos realizados por reducir el uso del automóvil como medio de transporte cotidiano, en algunos contextos como Latinoamérica su presencia sigue aumentando. El objetivo del artículo es examinar algunos factores que explican su uso intensivo en las grandes ciudades de México. El trabajo se basa en el análisis estadístico del Módulo de Hogares y Medio Ambiente, y de la Encuesta Nacional de Hogares del Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (México). Se descubre que la posesión de recursos de movilidad, como los automóviles, es muy importante para explicar el número de vehículos usados semanalmente, y que variables socioeconómicas como el nivel de instrucción o el estrato socioeconómico son también claves. Sin embargo, se advierte que actitudes favorables a la movilidad sustentable, o la percepción de efectos adversos del cambio climático, llevan a la disminución de ese gasto en gasolina, y que estos factores son independientes de los socioeconómicos. El artículo deja abierta la posibilidad de que, ante el incremento de la preocupación sobre el ambiente, estas variables actitudinales y de percepción puedan compensar el fuerte peso que tienen los factores socioeconómicos sobre la intensidad del uso del automóvil.

Authors:   The University of Sydney, Australia, Liu Sonia Yun , Macelline Shemil P. ,   The University of Sydney, Australia, Selle Peter H. ,   The University of Sydney, Australia
Published: September 2024

Growth performance of broiler chickens may be sub-optimal because starch is digested too rapidly and protein too slowly. This chapter reviews how a better understanding of digestive kinetics can address this challenge and contribute to least-cost formulation of broiler diets to enhance chicken-meat production. It begins by reviewing the process of protein and starch digestion. The chapter then reviews factors affecting digestion such as the speed of protein digestion and amino acid absorption, the more rapid intestinal uptake of non-bound methionine, as well as the role of slowly-digestible starch in promoting broiler growth performance. The chapter shows that accounting for these factors can significantly improve the efficiency of broiler diets.
Genetic factors affecting feed efficiency in meat-type chickens
Authors:   University of Georgia, USA, Aggrey Samuel E. , Rekaya Romdhane ,   University of Georgia, USA
Published: September 2024

To meet the global demand poultry meat, poultry should be produced efficiently and sustainably. Feed constitutes 70% of the cost of poultry production, meaning improvements in feed efficiency would be beneficial to producers, consumers and the environment. Feed conversion ratio (FCR) is an economic trait preferred by producers because it is directly related to profitability. Different combinations of feed intake and body weight gain can provide the same FCR value and may have the same economic outcome but with different underlying biological causes. Residual feed intake (RFI) breaks down feed efficiency into efficiencies of feed intake for maintenance and growth, respectively. Feed efficiency is affected by ambient factors, animal factors and output factors and is an aggregate of several complex traits with several interacting components. Identification of a major driver, e.g. reduction in maintenance requirement, efficiency of digestion, efficiency of protein retention and efficiency of growth can significantly improve the trait.

análise sobre as notificações compulsórias de violência sexual ao SINAN em Petrolina-PE
Authors: Costa Luan Bezerra , Alcoforado Elizabeth da Silva
Published: September 2024

A violência contra a mulher é uma realidade no bojo sócio-histórico brasileiro, e suas vítimas tendem a desenvolver mais distúrbios de saúde se comparadas a outras, impactando-as na esfera socioeconômica e sobrecarregando o sistema de saúde. Destarte, esse artigo se dispõe a problematizar a violência contra a mulher no âmbito da saúde pública, objetivando analisar como a notificação compulsória se apresenta enquanto instrumento de gestão para proteção da saúde da vítima de violência sexual. Articulado com abordagem qualiquantitativa, de caráter exploratório, desenvolvendo-se pelas técnicas de pesquisa bibliográfica e análise documental. Destaca-se que entre os anos de 2019 e 2021 Pernambuco registrou no SINAN 5.119 casos de violência sexual contra mulheres, destes, 204 casos foram notificados em Petrolina. Em 2020 houve uma queda de 5,17% das notificações em abril e 4,68% em maio comparados a 2019, e um aumento de 6,58% e 6,96% nos respectivos meses em 2021, o que pode ser explicado pelo período de isolamento social na pandemia da Covid-19, bem como indicando a subnotificação dos casos. Observou-se que 58% das vítimas são crianças e adolescentes, e que 73% das agressões foram no âmbito domiciliar. Infere-se que a notificação compulsória é perpassada pela estrutura machista da sociedade e práticas de violências simbólicas e institucionais, de forma que problematizar a subnotificação é importante tanto quanto dar respostas às demandas. Entender e reconhecer as relações de gênero e suas disparidades, é essencial para o desvelamento da violência no atendimento humanizado, e articulação da rede proteção intersetorial.

As histórias infantis são ferramentas para o desenvolvimento cognitivo, emocional e social da criança. Utilizando-se de histórias para o cuidado com o outro, a Biblioterapia apresenta-se como ferramenta econômica, democrática e eficaz para intervenções psicossociais com vista à promoção de saúde mental. O objetivo desse trabalho é realizar uma curadoria de histórias infantis promotoras de saúde mental para serem utilizadas em intervenções de Biblioterapia. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo e exploratório, realizado por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica a partir do acervo de livros do Programa Criança Feliz (PCF) executado em um município do nordeste brasileiro. A amostra final da pesquisa foi composta por 54 livros do acervo indicados à Primeira Infância, com até 50 páginas, contendo texto e ilustrações. Na etapa da coleta, todos os livros da amostra foram lidos para identificação da temática central, com triagem daqueles que abordavam temas relacionados à Saúde Mental. Identificou-se que 14,81% dos livros abordavam algum tema relacionado à saúde mental. Na análise de conteúdo, emergiram quatro categorias temáticas: Violência psicológica, abordada pela maioria da amostra; Vínculos parentais; Separação conjugal e Inteligência emocional. Apesar do significativo potencial da literatura infantil para promoção da saúde mental na primeira infância, ficou evidente um déficit de livros com esse perfil na composição do acervo investigado. Ademais, salienta-se a importância de que outros livros abordando uma maior diversidade de temas que impactam a Saúde Mental sejam incorporados ao acervo de políticas públicas.

Chemical and isotopic composition of rainwater in the eastern Yucatan peninsula, Mexico
Authors: Ortega-Camacho Daniela , González-Ríos Sofía , Córdoba-Benavides Fernanda , Ladino Luis , Cejudo Eduardo
Published: September 2024

Given that rain is the component of precipitation that reaches the surface of the earth, and aiming to contribute to the global efforts of rainwater monitoring, we present information regarding the origin of ions and their relationship with isotopic patterns and the source of moisture for rainwater in the Mexican Caribbean, which not only may be useful for pollution and atmospheric studies, but also for estimating groundwater recharges, understanding dust nuisances, and offering information about water quality for rainwater harvesting. In this paper, we describe the chemical composition of rainwater in terms of major ions, isotopic composition, and the most probable sources of moisture in the Caribbean coastal zone of Mexico, considering the three main climatic seasons in this area. The chemistry of rainwater displayed a noticeable influence from sea-salt spray, land-blown dust, and anthropogenic impacts such as agriculture and biomass burning. We identified the predominant terrestrial origin of calcium, namely anthropogenic contributions of sulfates and nitrates, plus potassium from sea spray and anthropogenic emissions. The local meteoric water line is δ2H = 8.2 δ18O + 13.8 (R² = 0.9601) suggesting enrichment due to evaporative losses, various moisture sources and local climatic effects. Although isotope composition was not different by site, it was by season, as opposed to water chemistry. We conclude that the water chemistry responds to the local conditions of the air column below the clouds, while the isotope composition is influenced by the origin of moisture and the physical conditions in which water evaporates and condenses as well.
Search for True Ternary Fission in the Reaction 40Ar+208 Pb

Published: September 2024

The true ternary fission, the fission of a nucleus into three fragments of nearly equal mass, is an elusive and poorly known process influenced by shell effects. It has been envisaged an increase of the probability of this process with respect to the binary fission, very low in spontaneous and neutron-induced fission, by adopting heavy-ion induced reactions due to the possibility to increase the fissility parameter and the excitation energy of the compound nuclei. Nuclei with mass number around A=250, accessible in heavy-ion induced reactions, are favorable and should be investigated. It is still debated if the process takes place in a single step, direct ternary fission, or in two steps, sequential ternary fission. The purpose of this work is to define experimental conditions and observables that allow the disentangling of the products from the direct and sequential ternary fission as well as from the usual most probable binary fission. This step is essential to gain insight on the ternary fission dynamics and on the binary to ternary fission competition. The method proposed here is to simulate the kinematics of the ternary and binary fission processes to compute the energy distributions and angular correlations of direct and sequential ternary fission products, as well as those of binary fission. The reaction taken as benchmark is 40Ar+208Pb at 230 MeV supposed to form the 248Fm* compound nucleus. The simulation results have been filtered by considering the response function of a multi-coincidence detection system virtually constructed using the Geant4 simulation toolkit. The simulations support the possibility to separate the products of different multimodal fission decays with the proposed setup that consequently represents an effective tool to get insight on ternary fission from the observables selected.

Authors: Güler Mehmet A , Artac Aykut , Yildirim Bora , Tsavdaridis Konstantinos Daniel
Published: September 2024

This paper presents a numerical study of topology-optimised pin-end aluminium alloy columns using finite element analysis (FEA). The FEA models integrate geometric imperfections and material nonlinearity, validated against experimental findings from existing literature. Furthermore, modern design methodologies including Eurocode 9, Direct Strength Method (DSM), and Continuous Strength Method (CSM) are employed to assess the maximum load capacity of such columns. Parametric investigations encompass diverse parameters such as varied cross-sections, column lengths, and global and local imperfections. By analysing a total of 288 FE models, incorporating 16 column cross-sections across two lengths with nine distinct imperfections, the study compares results with those derived from modern design methodologies. Thus, this research elucidates the behaviour of novel cross-sections and the application of contemporary design techniques in their analysis.

Authors: Passig David , Eshel-Kedmi Ganit , Aharoni Adi
Published: September 2024

There is a need to find innovative learning methods that enable accelerated learning of ‎a foreign language. This study examined the effect of computer-assisted language ‎learning (CALL) in acquiring a foreign language, which combines cognitive and ‎emotional stimuli in the background. ‎
The study explored two factors related to the acquisition of a foreign language: the ‎duration and scope of the learning process and the depth of internalization of the newly ‎acquired language. Another objective was to assess the learning method in two ‎learning environments, a multimedia setting and a virtual reality headset (VRH), to ‎determine if the learning environment affects the learning results and leads to better ‎vocabulary retention. ‎
One hundred native French speakers, with an average age of 47.5, participated in the ‎study and had no prior knowledge of a new native language. We randomly divided the ‎participants into two groups (multimedia and VRH). They studied 550 words in a new ‎native language for five days: 30 minutes each evening and 15 minutes in the morning.‎
The post-learning test pointed out that both groups improved their vocabulary scores ‎significantly. Approximately one month after the learning experience, we administered ‎a knowledge retention test to 32 participants and found that the level of knowledge had ‎been retained. Finally, background variables (e.g., gender, age, previous knowledge of ‎the new native language) did not affect the learning results. ‎
The findings indicate that CALL, which integrates background cognitive and ‎emotional stimuli in both learning environments, significantly accelerates learning ‎pace, broadens the scope of newly acquired words, and ensures retention. The level of ‎improvement observed in our study is notably higher than reported in the literature ‎that had previously evaluated CALL and in-class language acquisition.
Hypothesis: Search for Sources of Systematic Error in Astrometric Measurements of the Cosmological Constant
Authors: Overholt Michael
Published: September 2024

Among the theoretical problems with the prevailing theory of cosmology, Lambda Cold Dark Matter (λCDM), the most serious appears to be the twofold problem with the cosmological constant lambda: Dark Energy and Hubble Tension. Despite a two-decade search for systematic errors in astrometry the problems have not been resolved. This paper posits a potential source of error that may have affected astrometry related to the current and past measurements of lambda.
Research on Depression Recognition Based on University Students’ Facial Expressions and Actions with the Assistance of Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Cheng Xiaohong
Published: September 2024

As artificial intelligence (AI) technology advances, its application in the field of psychology has witnessed significant advancements. In this paper, with the assistance of AI, 80 university students with depression and 80 university students with normal psychology were selected as the subjects. The facial expression feature data were extracted through OpenFace, and the action feature data were extracted based on a Kinect camera. Then, the convolutional neural network-long short-term memory (CNN-LSTM) and temporal convolutional neural network (TCN) approaches were designed for recognition. Finally, a weighted fusion recognition method was proposed. The results showed that compared with the support vector machine, back-propagation neural network, and other approaches, the CNN-LSTM and TCN methods showed better performance in the recognition of single feature data, and the accuracy reached 0.781 and 0.769, respectively. After weighted fusion, the accuracy reached the highest at 0.875. The results verify that the methods designed in this paper are effective in identifying depressive emotions through facial expressions and actions among university students and have the potential for practical application.
THE PROBLEMAIICS OF ENSURING THE RELIABILITY OF THE SIDE SURFACE OF THE PISTONS OF BOOSTED ICES
Authors: Marchenko A.P. , Pylyov V.V.
Published: September 2024

Prospective directions and trends in the development of special-purpose engines are analyzed. An increase in swept volume power density of engines leads to a critical raise in thermal and mechanical stress in the engine structural elements and to a corresponding reduction in its resource. Pistons are among the elements of boosted engines that are most prone to failure. Among the characteristic critical zones of the piston design, in which losses of parametric and physical reliability were observed, a separate critical zone on the loaded and unloaded side of the piston skirt near the piston pin bores is singled out. An analysis of publications was carried out and it was shown that the occurrence of the phenomenon of wear or seizures of the side surface of the piston skirt, which is observed for the boosted designs in the specified zone, is not explained exhaustively in the existing system of scientific views. Understanding the causes of the described phenomenon of loss of reliability is necessary for diagnosing and developing measures to prevent it at the design stage. The paper puts forward a hypothesis that explains the occurrence or non-occurrence of the loss of reliability in the process of deformation of the local zone of the side surface of the piston skirt during uneven expansion of the material in presence of  creep and simultaneous stress relaxation with possible strengthening of the material by the property of creep limit. The possible cases of deformation of a certain local zone of the side surface of the piston in an elastic setting and in the presence of creep and stress relaxation processes are considered. It is shown that the process of creep deformation in the studied zone can end before the occurrence of reliability loss even for the materials that are unable to be strengthened by the property of creep limit or could be strengthened only insignificantly. The general ways of increasing the reliability of the side surface of the piston are outlined, related to ensuring the level of local stresses being below the creep limit, ensuring the completion of the creep process before the clearance reaches the critical values, as well as achieving strengthening of the material by the property of creep limit, for materials capable of it, before the occurrence of creep in operation.

Published: September 2024

This paper aims to compare the resilience of Muslim women Lecturer with dual roles in Indonesia (INa) and Malaysia (IMa). There are five indicators used, namely Wagnild and Yong indicators which are derived into 25 sub-indicators. The interview instrument is broken down from the 25 sub-indicators. This research uses a phenomenological qualitative approach. Data were obtained by interview method, offline and online. There are six Muslim women  Lecturer who became informants, three from Indonesian universities, and  the rest from Malaysian universities.  The discussion is presented by displaying the results of data analysis from Atlas.ti in the form of WordCloude, making it easier for readers to see the comparison. The first indicator of Equanimity, in Indonesia positive thinking is more dominant, while in Malaysia reflection is more dominant. Second, Perseverance indicators, which emerged from the two countries were purpose and intention (INa), meaningfulness (IMa). Third, Self Resiliance INa is Self-Confident, and IMa is Spirit. Fourth, there are five categories whose portions are balanced, (INa) namely Helpful, Ability, Greatful, Insatiate, and Resilient. While the IMa that appears is the Meaningfulness category. Fifth, the Existential Aloneness Indicator INa consists of Indifferent and Intuitive, while IMa is Indifferent and Cheerful. The results show strategies that can be used to improve resilience, such as developing a positive mindset, finding meaning in work, and building self-confidence.
