A History of Renal Cell Carcinoma through the pages of Robbins Pathology and Campbell’s Urology
Authors: Stump Jeffrey , Gordetsky Jennifer
Published: September 2024

Introduction The understanding of renal neoplasia, carcinogenesis, and the classification of kidney tumors has been a journey of misadventure. Struggles included identifying the cell of origin, differentiating benign from malignant tumors, and subclassification. We investigated how the changing landscape of renal neoplasia was incorporated into medical textbooks with a focus on Robbins Pathology and Campbell’s Urology. Sources and Methods A PubMed search was performed using the terms “renal cell carcinoma” and “hypernephroma”. Articles highlighting landmark discoveries of renal tumors were evaluated. A review of medical texts including Robbins Pathology and Campbell’s Urology was conducted to establish the incorporation of scientific discoveries into the popular medical literature. Results The first mention of a tumor of the kidney occurred in 1613 but medical texts lagged for scientific discoveries by years both in pathology and urology. Case reports of renal tumors were described sporadically in the 1800s but are not mentioned in the 1889 “Pathology and Morbid Anatomy”. “Young’s Practice of Urology” (1926) illustrated the uncertainty as to the unknown origin of kidney cancers. Definitive evidence of RCC arising from renal parenchyma occurred in 1959. The adrenal origin theory was finally rejected by Campbell in 1963 and by Robbins in 1979. Papillary RCC was recognized as a separate entity from clear cell RCC in 1976 but detailed histopathologic subclassification of RCC did not occur until the late 1990s. Conclusions Renal tumors progressed from one category to more than a dozen established entities. As we continue the ongoing quest to understand renal tumors, Dr. Young’s comm

Authors: Houeninvo Toussaint , Lankoande and Germain
Published: September 2024

This article evaluates the role of financial development in achieving the objectives of the African Union’s Agenda 2063, especially its income per capita growth goal and leveraging domestic resource mobilization to finance the continent’s development needs. It uses panel data for 1995–2020 and applies a system generalized method of moments as the econometric technique. The findings indicate that promoting financial development can speed up the achievement of key Agenda 2063 expected transformational outcomes, in particular the continent’s real income per capita growth. Based on the estimation of short-term and long-term elasticities of financial development with respect to economic growth, a counterfactual simulation shows that if credit to the private sector as a percentage of GDP could increase from 4.36%, one of the lowest country values in the sample, to 54.03%, the corresponding GDP per capita could increase from its current level of USD 523 to USD 633.18 in the short-term and to USD 4,840 by the end of 2063. The article contributes to closing the gap of empirical studies on Agenda 2063.

Authors:   Department of Social Welfare & Development - Cordillera Administrative Region and University of Baguio, Munar Merlynda
Published: September 2024

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of financial literacy education among the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) household grantees in Baguio City in the Philippines. The focus was on enhancing financial knowledge and skills, particularly in financial planning, budgeting, and savings. Using a descriptive quantitative methodology, a questionnaire was administered to 297 respondents selected through stratified random sampling. The study assessed the financial literacy improvement relative to demographic factors such as gender and educational attainment. Results indicated that financial literacy sessions had a significant positive impact, with respondents demonstrating a “great extent” of improvement in financial planning, budgeting, and savings. Statistical analysis revealed no significant differences based on gender, while educational attainment showed significant differences, with higher education levels correlating with better financial literacy. The findings suggest that while financial literacy programs are broadly effective, tailoring these sessions to accommodate varying educational backgrounds could enhance outcomes further. Future recommendations include developing targeted financial education strategies to address the needs of those with lower educational attainment and expanding the program to reach a larger demographic. This approach could foster greater financial stability and empowerment among low-income families, ultimately contributing to poverty reduction efforts.
Psicopedagogía en Iberoamérica y el derecho a aprender según la condición subjetiva
Authors: Ricci Cristina Rafaela
Published: September 2024

Abordar la temática y problemática de la condición de la Psicopedagogía en Iberoamérica y su relación con el derecho a aprender según la propia condición subjetiva en todas las etapas de la vida implica adoptar un posicionamiento epistemológico y metodológico ecuánime y situado. En las primeras décadas del siglo XXI, la condición epistemológica de la Psicopedagogía en Iberoamérica es lingüística y epistemológicamente polisémica, ya que nombra una ciencia, disciplina y/o profesión y califica un campo y comunidad de prácticas y experticias fundadas científicamente. También se asiste al proceso ecuánime de reconfiguración del objeto psicopedagógico: pasaje de la patologización del sujeto y homogenización del aprender, a la diversidad psicopedagógica del sujeto (individual y/o colectivo) que aprende en cada edad de la vida en los diferentes contextos en los que esta transcurre. La Psicopedagogía colabora con el derecho a aprender según la propia condición subjetiva, mediante la producción de conocimiento científico y la configuración de saberes profesionales específicos sobre la diversidad psicopedagógica.

La investigación busca conocer la manera en que se propicia la implementación de las TIC como herramienta pedagógica en el segundo ciclo de instituciones de la FROSEP durante el año 2022. El diseño mediante el cual se realizó el estudio fue no experimental y el tipo de investigación, aplicada con enfoque cuali-cuantitativo. La población estuvo conformada por 83 personas, a las cuales se les aplicó un cuestionario policotómico de 18 ítems, así como la observación del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Se midieron tres indicadores: Competencias de los docentes en el uso de las TIC, Estrategias para el uso pedagógico de las TIC y Recursos digitales.
Los docentes cuentan con competencias para el uso de las nuevas tecnologías, pero no alcanzan un nivel en el que se pueda hablar de dominio de estas. Utilizan variadas estrategias con el uso de las TIC, pero aún no llegan al nivel de uso pedagógico, sino más bien de uso instrumental, para proyectar, distribuir información, etc., y no como un medio para potenciar el aprendizaje significativo. Asimismo, el número de recursos didácticos en las instituciones investigadas fue insuficiente, pero se puede destacar que se busca el gerenciamiento de los mismos.

Authors: Maciel Guilherme , Silva Karina , Ferreira Cassius , Luiz Borges Valério , Carvalho Solidônio , Braga dos Santos Marcelo
Published: September 2024

This study is motivated by the production of synthesis gas (syngas) from gasification of refused-derived fuel (RDF) in thermochemical reactors. For this purpose, a reactor with a circulating fluidized bed transforms RDF into synthesis gas at temperatures around 850°C. The syngas consists of a biphasic mixture, containing fuel gas and solid particles that are dragged during the gasification process. The gas flows into an axial cyclone positioned inside the upper part of the reactor, so that non-gasified particulates, inert residues and particles from the bed can be removed. Due to the size and density of the solid particles and the residence time inside the thermochemical reactor, the cyclone must be designed to clean the gas, improving its quality and reducing costs with scrubbers. Therefore, in this study, a vertical cylindrical reactor with 10.57 m height and 0.95 m diameter was modeled computationally, with an axial cyclone inside measuring 9.3 m in height and 0.6 m in the largest diameter region. The model does not consider thermochemical reactions inside the reactor. For the solid phase, 0.425 m³ of 100 mesh sand particles with a constant density equal to 1500 kg/m³ were considered. For the gas phase an air flow of 800 kg/h at 500°C was adopted. Numerical-computational models were solved using the ANSYS® software, based on the classical equations of mass conservation, momentum and energy. The k-omega SST turbulence model has been applied. From the analysis of pressure gradient, velocity profiles and the particulate removal rate in the cyclone, the cyclone efficiency and the pressure drop were determined. An efficiency of 99.83% in the cleaning process carried out by the axial cyclone was observed. The obtained results also allowed analyze the distribution of particles inside the reactor and their passage in the axial cyclone.

Published: September 2024

The use of organic solid waste for energy generation has become a promising and sustainable solution to address environmental issues, particularly those related to fossil fuel consumption. Producing energy from forest biomass offers a viable and eco-friendly alternative, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. A key factor for the sustainable production and supply of bioenergy is the abundant availability of suitable raw materials. Among these, forestry pruning waste stands out as a significant resource, often poorly managed and improperly disposed of. An environmentally responsible way to utilize these residues is through incineration, using the resulting hot gases from combustion for energy generation. The primary goal of this study was to quantify the energy generation potential from the forestry pruning waste of UFPR. To achieve this, the organic waste from UFPR was chemically characterized through Proximate Analysis, along with determining the higher heating value and moisture content. A mathematical model was developed to quantify the generation of electrical energy, simulating the steady-state operation of the incineration system. Additionally, a mathematical model of the Rankine cycle plant was created to predict the necessary thermal exchange areas in the plant. The analyses of the collected samples showed heterogeneity, with low ash content at 0.76% and moisture content ranging from 10.67% to 16.80%, but an average high higher heating value of 19.39 MJ.kg-1. The mathematical model predicted that these residues could be sustainably used for electricity generation, with a power output of 54.28 kW. The chemical analysis results led to optimization in the thermal exchange areas of the Rankine cycle plant, facilitating the efficient utilization of hot gases produced from the incineration of these forestry residues.

Published: September 2024

With the 4th Industrial Revolution, many industry sectors are incorporating digital features, such as Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, Digital Twin, among others. In this context, the nuclear energy industry also demands for computational tools able to deal with design and operating data. This paper presents a thermodynamic analysis model for Angra 2 and 3 Nuclear Power Plants. It describes the development of a computational code that provides process data – temperature, pressure and mass flow rate – under steady state regimes. The basic mathematical models for the power plants processes are presented. The model covers the whole power generation process, including the primary circuit, which is composed by the reactor and cold and hot legs, the secondary cycle, which is the most complex one and consists on a regenerative Rankine power cycle, and the tertiary cycle, which is the sea water inlet and outlet. Results are shown for validation cases, by comparisons with heat balance diagrams of Angra 2 NPP for three different cases: (i) normal operation at 100% power load, (ii) normal operation at partial power load and (iii) preheating train bypass.
PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF STANDING WAVE THERMOACOUSTIC ENGINES REGARDING HARMONIC SUPPRESSION
Authors: Everton Carvalho Ribeiro Araujo Caio , De Campos Bannwart Flavio
Published: September 2024

This work consists of a comparative study between two standing wave thermoacoustic engines that differ in the geometry of their resonant chambers, but hold the same internal elements and operate at the same fundamental frequency and boundary conditions. One of the engines consists of a straight tube of circular cross-section as its main part that defines a resonant acoustic waveguide, while the other one consists of, in addition to a similar straight tube, also a conical bulb connected to one of its ends acting as a coupled Helmholtz resonator. According to the literature, the Helmholtz cavity causes a higher pitch quality in the first harmonic mode, which is of greatest interest from the energetic point of view. The main objective of this work is to verify and evaluate such an effect on the engine performance so that to explore its optimization by means of frequency and geometric. Both engines are simulated in the DeltaEC software. DeltaEC, however, does not include harmonics other than the fundamental one. Understanding of the influence of higher acoustic modes may lead to a better management of the thermoacoustic engine configuration towards higher thermal efficiencies.
Acknowledging multiple ‘masculine’ organisational identities: Moving beyond the singular model of workplace safety culture to a multiple safety cultures perspective
Authors: Adams Nicholas Norman
Published: September 2024

This research proposes a challenge to the singular notion of Workplace Safety Culture (WSC) recurrently popularised in Industrial Psychology and Human Factors scholarships. The investigation explores interconnections between workplace ‘masculine’ identities and institutional safety and risk-taking practices on a remote offshore oil and gas drilling platform: the ‘Point Delta’ oil installation operated by ‘DrillMech’ (both pseudonyms). While WSC is typically defined as the overarching safety attitude of an organisation or workplace locale, findings uncovered four workplace cultures of identity underpinned by four distinct ideologies of oilfield masculinity. Three cultures were symbiotic and performed safety practices to uphold their workplace identities. One culture resisted these cultures, performing risk-taking practices to legitimise their masculine workplace ‘oilman’ identity. Implications for safety culture theorising are discussed, primarily in the context of the inherent ‘blind spot’ of the homogenised ‘single culture’ approach that is ill-fitting for the complexities of contemporary modernity’s organisational reality. This approach fails to acknowledge the presence of multiple cultures of organisational identity with different safety and risk practices that resist condensing into a singular ‘safety culture’. Conclusions drawn suggest that the traditional singular notion of WSC is reductive; failing to account for the existence of multiple, distinct workplace cultures with varied safety and risk practices influenced by different identity ideologies. Regarding practice implications, outcomes highlight safety interventions in the workplace should be tailored to recognise and address diverse cultures and ideologies of identity present, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach to understand and build positive safety culture.

Authors: Aulia Ela Manikam , Rasiah Rasiah , Putra Ansor , Koso Halijah
Published: September 2024

This research is intended to showcase the reflection of Black self-resilience through Still I Rise poem written by Maya Angelou. Mimetic approach and the concept of self-resilience were used to analyze the problem of this research. Self-resilience was seen in two points; physical and psychological ones. Black self-resilient performed in the poem is considered as the mimetic rendition of the dynamic process of black struggle that leads to the positive adaptations within the context of significant adversity in their life context of the US. Type of this research is included in library research with using descriptive qualitative-interpretive method in analyzing the data. It suggests that Maya Angelou in the poem Still I Rise pictured two kinds of Black self-resilience; physical resilience is showed through some selected words, like; dust, sun, moon, tide, they still arise in their place and time. Black did not and could not be destroyed by the bitter treatment of racism. These words also represented the psychological resilience by adding some other words; having gold mine, walk like I've got oil wells, certainty of tides, and the repeating word, I rise, to show their inner self-motivation,  affection, and actualization. This study concluded that Black self-resilience both physically and psychologically reflected by Maya Angelou in her Poem Still I Rise is dealing with the racism. Blacks are destroyed not only physically but also mentality, so, they have to endure themselves by leading to a positive adaptation to exist in the United States.

Ten years have passed since the Belt and Road Initiative was put forward. In the past ten years, Qi Li, a "Belt and Road" country, has made great progress, achieved win-win cooperation and achieved rich results from scratch, from scratch, from decentralization to cooperation. Looking back on the decade of development of the Belt and Road Initiative, it is a glorious decade, a decade of cooperation and a decade of sharing. The Belt and Road Initiative has made great contributions to promoting the building of a community of human destiny and promoting world peace. However, the current international situation is turbulent, and events such as local wars, ethnic hatred, big country games and nuclear wastewater discharge into the sea have made the international situation even more tense, which undoubtedly adds a test to the high-quality development of the "Belt and Road". Based on the current international situation, this paper expounds the thinking on the high-quality development of the "Belt and Road" from four aspects: energy, green, science and technology and benefiting the people. Based on this, this paper finally proposes to vigorously develop clean energy, oppose war and support peace, strengthen international cooperation, attach importance to environmental protection and the application of new technologies, and pay attention to people's livelihood and well-being.

The Spread of Chinese Culture in the English Major Education
Authors: Zheng Yang , Zhang Jiahe
Published: September 2024

With the development of globalization, Chinese culture has become increasingly prominent on the international stage. Chinese culture has a long history, contains rich cultural connotations and ideological essence, and has had a profound impact on the development of Chinese and even world culture. With the rise of China and the improvement of its international status, the dissemination of Chinese culture in the international arena is getting more and more attention. Under such a background, as the inheritor and disseminator of Chinese culture, and as an important carrier for the dissemination of Chinese culture, the English major in universities bears the important responsibility of cultivating talents with international vision and cultural communication ability. However, at present, there is a serious "cultural imbalance" in China's English education and foreign exchanges, i.e., only focusing on the introduction and learning of English-speaking cultures, the so-called "input", and neglecting the introduction and dissemination of Chinese cultures to western countries, the so-called "output" and "dissemination". "Output" and "Going out". Therefore, many students have studied English for more than ten years, but they do not know how to introduce China's natural landscape and traditional culture to their foreign friends in English, and they cannot introduce China's political and economic system and national policy in English. Communication means absorption and dissemination, however, compared with the study of Western culture, there is still a large room for improvement in the inheritance and dissemination of Chinese culture in the teaching of English majors.
Simulation and Research on PID Parameter Tuning Based on Improved Beetle Antennae Search Algorithm
Authors: Zhang Peng
Published: September 2024

The traditional PID parameter tuning method has the problem that it is difficult to achieve optimal performance and even lead to system instability. In order to overcome these problems, an improved Beetle Antennae Search (BAS) algorithm is proposed in this paper. By dynamically adjusting the step size, introducing random disturbance and elite reservation strategy, the global optimization ability and convergence speed of the algorithm are significantly improved. In this study, the improved BAS algorithm is applied to the parameter tuning of PID controller. By defining an objective function that comprehensively considers the performance indexes such as system overshoot, regulation time and steady-state error, the algorithm is used for iterative search to determine the optimal PID parameter combination. The experiment uses MATLAB/Simulink platform for simulation, taking the second-order system as the controlled object, and simulating different system dynamics by changing system parameters. The findings from the experiments indicate that the improved BAS algorithm outperforms traditional methods in terms of convergence speed, optimization outcomes, and stability. With an identical number of iterations, the refined algorithm yields a lower objective function value, reduced overshoot, shortened adjustment duration, and diminished steady-state error. The PID parameter tuning technique, grounded on the improved BAS algorithm presented in this research, not only maintains the simplicity inherent to the conventional BAS algorithm but also markedly boosts its global optimization capability and convergence rate. This offers innovative perspectives and techniques for optimizing industrial control systems.

Authors: Wu Wenjing
Published: September 2024

Past lexical decision studies investigating the number and relatedness of meanings effect have produced mixed results. In the present experiment, we selected 20 ambiguous words and 12 non-words, and asked 30 English major students to judge whether they were real words or not, and then recorded their reaction time. In lexical decision tasks, relatedness (high or low), NOM (many or few), and nonword condition were manipulated. After an analysis of variance, we find that the NOM effect is significant but no significant effect of relatedness was observed in the experiment. The results show that the number of a word’s meanings can influence lexical decision performance.

Authors: Feng Wanru
Published: September 2024

Consecutive interpreting, as a form of bilingual communication, is extensively used during international conference speeches. To ensure the successful completion of interpretation tasks, interpreters should have a strong language foundation, broad interdisciplinary knowledge, and be skilled at employing various cohesion techniques. Cohesion devices help interpreters effectively organize the overall structure of the text or discourse, resulting in semantically clear, logically organized, thematically coherent, and structurally rigorous renditions. Drawing on cohesion theory in functional linguistics, this paper utilizes a case analysis to examine the strategies of consecutive interpreting during Yu Qiuyu's speech at the Third Asian Culture Forum. International conference interpretation serves as the bridge of communication and plays an important role in modern society. There are three processes of translation: pre-interpreting preparation, the application of cohesion theory in interpretation, and interpreting assessment are launched. Several practical and effective tactics are presented to implement the cohesive theory and put it into practice. The paper aims to provide insights for enhancing interpreting abilities, fostering cross-cultural communication skills, and serving as reference for international conference interpreting and Chinese-English consecutive interpreting teaching.
