Authors: JADHAV Kisan , GHARAT Shivani , ADHALRAO Shradha
Published: March 2024

Electrospinning process was used for constructing the bilayer nanofibers scaffold using drug and oil

containing polymeric emulsion for synergistic activity against bacterial wound infections. The

characterization was done for morphology, chemical composition, thermal behaviour, porosity,

swelling ratio, drug release, in vitro permeation, ex vivo studies, and antimicrobial activity. In vitro

drug permeation study, exhibited initial rapid release of MUP upto 53% in the first 6 hrs and

following a slower sustained release achieving 92.17% drug release in 72 hours whereas TEO showed

release in 10 hrs with initial burst release followed by sustained release achieving 85.45% release. The

ex vivo skin permeation data revealed greater permeability compared to conventional films.

Antibacterial activity of the bilayer nanofiber scaffold was found to be greater than that of single layer

MUP and TEO scaffold as zone of inhibition of MUP-PCL-TEO-PVA bilayer scaffold was greater

which indicates the synergistic activity of MUP and TEO.
Assessing Narratives in the Translation of Chinese Political Discourse: A Perspective from the Narrative Paradigm
Authors: Xu Dong , Moindjie Mohamed Abdou , Singh Manjet Kaur Mehar
Published: March 2024

In the global era, translating Chinese political discourse is key to enhancing international understanding and diplomacy. This research employs the narrative paradigm to assess the translation of Chinese political discourse, with the goal of enhancing the effective narrative comprehension of such translations for international communication. It applies Fisher’s narrative paradigm and Baker’s assessing narratives to investigate the application and impact of the principles of narrative coherence and fidelity in the translation of Chinese political discourse for international audiences. Employing a qualitative research approach, it conducts an analysis based on translations from volumes III and IV of Xi Jinping: The Governance of China, as primary case studies. The research finds that translations of Chinese political discourse face specific challenges and opportunities in maintaining narrative coherence and fidelity. The principle of narrative coherence emphasizes the importance of creating coherent, accessible narrative structures in translation, while the principle of fidelity demands fidelity to the source’s cultural information and political connotations, reflecting distinctive Chinese characteristics. Highlighting the significance of adopting the narrative paradigm in the international communication of Chinese political discourse, this research provides theoretical and practical insights for assessing narrative comprehension of Chinese political discourse translation. Moreover, the results offer a new perspective on narrative assessment for comprehension in cross-cultural and international communication, pointing directions for future research.
Error Analysis of College English Writing Based on the Cohesion and Coherence Theory
Authors: Li Qiangqiang
Published: March 2024

Although much has been discussed about error analysis around the world, it has been one of the least investigated learning/teaching writing in ELT in China. Cohesion and coherence are two important factors in the discourse analysis. The paper reports the results of a series of linguistic statistic methods, in which learners were invited to write a CET-4 composition, and two experienced teachers were asked to analyze errors based on Cohesion and Coherence Theory. The study reveals that students have difficulty in using conjunction and lexical cohesion and are weak in logical reasoning and argument. The paper argues that college students and teachers who teach English writing are supposed to focus more on how to improve cohesion and coherence in texts rather only on the linguistic level, which can be used for reference for the teaching of English writing.
Translation Studies on Xi Jinping: The Governance of China—A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Yuan Yetao , Ganapathy Malini , Moindjie Mohamed Abdou
Published: March 2024

This paper conducted a systematic literature review of the previous studies within China and other countries within the period from October 2014 to July 2023 with the purpose of investigating the research foci on the English translation of Xi Jinping: The Governance of China. This study revealed that scholars in Chinese Mainland mainly focused on three fields: research on translation strategies of political documents, cultural translation in foreign publicity translation, the external dissemination of political documents and the construction of national image. Besides, an emerging field with discourse analysis-related theories to explore discourse theory paradigms, evaluate discourse quality, and conduct corpus analysis of discourse has provided multivariant academic thinking in translation studies. Compared with Chinese scholars’ studies, there was minimal discussion about the foreign scholars’ exploration of the translation strategies and methods or other translation-related topics, which implied the urgent need of mutual academic communication between Chinese scholars and the foreign academic circles to promote the further development of Chinese political document translation studies.

Authors: Baskurt Ozan , Aydin Seckin , Avci Idris , Ozay Nayir Pinar , Aydin Mehmet Volkan
Published: March 2024

Diffuse axonal injury (DAI), one of the most common and devastating type of traumatic brain injury, is the result of the shear force on axons due to severe rotational acceleration and deceleration. Neurogranin (NRGN) is a postsynaptic protein secreted by excitatory neurons, and synaptic dysfunction can alter extracellular NRGN levels. In this study, we examined NRGN levels in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) after experimental DAI in terms of their diagnostic value. Experimental DAI was induced using the Marmarou technique in male Wistar albino rats. Serum and CSF NRGN levels of the sham group, one‑hour, six‑hour, 24‑hour, and 72‑hour post‑DAI groups were measured by ELISA method. DAI was verified by staining with hematoxylin‑eosin and β‑amyloid precursor protein in the rat brain samples. While no histopathological and immunohistochemical changes were observed in the early hours of the post‑DAI groups, the staining of the β‑APP visibly increased over time, with positivity being most frequent and intense in the 72‑hour group. It was found that serum NRGN levels were significantly lower in the 6‑hour group than in the sham group. The serum NRGN levels in the 24‑hour group were significantly higher than those in the sham group. This study showed a dichotomy of post‑DAI serum NRGN levels in consecutive time periods. NRGN levels in CSF were higher in the one‑hour group than in the sham group and returned to baseline by 72 hours, although not significantly. Our study provides an impression of serum and CSF NRGN levels in a rat DAI model in consecutive time periods. Further studies are needed to understand the diagnostic value of NRGN.

Published: March 2024

Introducción. En este artículo se quiere plasmar la grata experiencia de hacer un diagnóstico de salud en la población de Santpedor. El diagnóstico se llevó a cabo con acción participativa desde el primer momento y durante todo el proceso. Se hizo con un grupo motor, donde solo dos de las 15 personas que lo representan eran agentes sanitarios. Estos agentes legitimaron el proceso comunitario, coordinaron el grupo motor y lo guiaron. Sin embargo, eran una pieza más del puzle comunitario, siendo los otros 13 agentes comunitarios no sanitarios los auténticos protagonistas al posibilitar llegar a la población y completar el puzle comunitario.

Objetivo. Realizar el diagnóstico de salud de Santpedor con acción participativa.

Métodos. Se utilizó una metodología mixta secuencial y explicativa, con una parte cuantitativa (descriptivo transversal) y una parte cualitativa (acción participativa).

En este artículo se explica la metodología que se utilizó para hacer el diagnóstico de salud de Santpedor y se describen las estrategias participativas para llegar a la población y favorecer la pertinencia en el proceso comunitario, así como las técnicas empleadas para la detección de las necesidades y su priorización.

Las técnicas cualitativas utilizadas para la detección de los activos fueron el mapping party y la marcha de activos. Las técnicas empleadas para identificar las necesidades fueron la encuesta y las entrevistas grupales (grupos focales, grupo nominal y entrevistas individuales).

Resultados. Se identificaron 604 activos de Santpedor. En el análisis cuantitativo se observó que Santpedor presentaba un gran relevo generacional y un tejido económico diversificado. En el análisis cualitativo, se logró una gran cantidad de información con la que, una vez analizada y trabajada con todo el grupo motor, se confeccionó un listado con 17 necesidades que había que cubrir para mejorar la salud de la población. Estas necesidades fueron priorizadas mediante una votación simple (hubo 754 votaciones por parte de la ciudadanía). La primera necesidad detectada fue «la necesidad de vivienda», seguida de «necesidades de transporte público» y «necesidades laborales».

Conclusión. El diagnóstico de salud de Santpedor se hizo con investigación de acción participativa, así que las necesidades detectadas y su priorización fueron informadas por la población, lo que facilitó su pertinencia en el proceso comunitario y la posterior creación de las mesas de salud

Published: March 2024

Introdução: O gene ACTN3 codifica a proteína α-actinina-3 nas linhas Z do sarcômero, que ancora a proteína actina no aparelho contrátil, presente exclusivamente nas fibras musculares do tipo II, apresentando maior capacidade glicolítica, que é essencial para esportes com ações de alta intensidade e curta duração, como é o caso do voleibol. Objetivo: Verificar a frequência e distribuição do gene ACTN3, genótipos RR e RX, que expressam α-actinina-3 (EX α-actinina-3), e genótipo XX, que não expressa α-actinina-3 (NE α-actinina-3), e sua relação com atletas brasileiras de voleibol. Materiais e Métodos: Fizeram parte do estudo noventa e sete (97) atletas da Superliga Feminina de Voleibol. Foram avaliados a massa corporal, a estatura e a idade, para caracterização da amostra. Analisaram-se amostras salivares por meio de PCR em tempo real, para determinação dos genótipos, e, para verificar a associação do genótipo ao status de atleta de voleibol nas três categorias (Equipes Nacionais, Seleção Nacional e Olímpica), foi feito o teste de Qui-quadrado de independência (2). Para obter a razão de chances do desfecho, foi realizada uma análise regressão log linear. Todos os testes foram realizados por meio do programa estatístico JAMOVI 2.4 (2023).Resultados: Entre as atletas da amostra que disputam a competição nacional, 91,8% apresentam o genótipo EX-α-actinina-3. Já quando consideramos as competições internacionais, 93,7% apresentou o genótipo EX-α-actinina-3. Em se tratando das atletas que atuam pela seleção brasileira nos jogos olímpicos, 100% da amostra apresentou o genótipo EX-α-actinina-3. Considerando que na população mundial a frequência é de 80%, é possível verificar que, à medida que se aproxima das atletas que participam da seleção feminina, há maior participação daquelas com genótipo EX-α-actinina-3. Além disso, houve associação entre os genótipos EX α-actinina-3 e a categoria nacional com o status de atleta de elite, onde (χ²) obteve o valor de p (0,023) e a razão da taxa (2,71) para o desfecho dos genótipos (EX α-actinina-3) serem atletas de elite. Conclusão: As características genéticas do atleta, o ambiente, a nutrição e a preparação física, técnica e tática são alguns dos fatores que contribuem para o desempenho esportivo. Entretanto, os resultados do presente estudo sugerem que os genótipos RR e RX que expressam α-actinina-3, presente nas fibras musculares do tipo II, parecem conferir uma vantagem a atletas de voleibol de alto rendimento.
Examining the impact of different street classification scenarios on active transportation equity. Insights from Athens, Greece
Authors: Tsigdinos Stefanos
Published: March 2024

Transport equity is an essential characteristic of a just city and a concept related to social inclusion. This study examined how different street classification scenarios will affect active transportation equity. Four different scenarios with different planning rationales were developed that reformulate the street classification in a municipality within a metropolitan area, i.e., Kallithea in Athens, Greece. These scenarios give rise to new street categories that reallocate street space favoring active transport users. The evaluation of active transportation equity was carried out by utilizing spatial analysis and welfare economics through the lens of egalitarian and sufficientarian approaches. Based on the results, scenarios that propose new urban centers as well as a readable street classification with traffic calming zones determined by ring roads seem to be more efficient in accommodating vulnerable users in an equitable way. Hence, new planning schemes should rely on active modes, leaving automobiles behind. In general, measuring the impact of street classification scenarios through the lens of equity is critical for improving the quality of life in cities. Additionally, it is noteworthy knowledge for policy makers, planners, and local administrators. Finally, this research may inspire new studies, enriching the scientific debate.

Regardless of palm age, rodents have been the main concern for oil palm planters. The present study examined the abundance of rodents in immature (1-3-year-old) and mature (18-20-year-old) oil palm plantations (FGVAS Sahabat 17) in Lahad Datu, Sabah. Over a period of 30 months, 150 cage traps were set in a 300-palm area for four consecutive nights each month for immature and mature palms, respectively. During the study, four rodent species, Callosciurus notatus, Rattus exulans, Rattus rattus diardii, and Maxomys whiteheadi were captured. In immature oil palm, R. exulans (53.59%) was the highest number recorded, and R. r. diardii (88.56%) was the highest number in mature oil palm. The total number of rats varied between immature and mature oil palms [t (54) = 7.392, p = 0.0001]. The ratio of the number of rodents captured in immature and mature oil palms was 4:1. There was a significant difference in the abundance of rats in immature and mature oil palms between the wet (U = 25.50, p = < 0.0003) and dry seasons (U = 12.50, p = < 0.001). This study identified the abundance of rodent species in immature and mature oil palm plantations as a baseline for rodent pest management. Keywords: Oil palm, rodent species, wet season, dry season, Lahad Datu.

Published: March 2024

Context: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has poor prognosis, high mortality, and recurrence rates. Ixabepilone or ixempra could be a promising agent for TNBC, especially in the taxane- and/or anthracycline-resistant population. Aims: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ixabepilone-based chemotherapy compared to ixabepilone-free chemotherapy in TNBC patients. Methods: This review followed the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis guidelines. The eligibility criteria included randomized control trials (RCTs) in 2013-2023 comparing ixabepilone-based with ixabepilone-free chemotherapy regimen in TNBC. Results: This study identified four eligible RCTs. One study showed that patients treated with ixabepilone had a significant improvement in disease-free survival, had a better response, and a lower risk of disease recurrence compared to those treated with taxane-based regimen. However, two studies showed no differences in terms of overall survival (OS), disease-free survival, and pathological complete responses rates in both treatment arms. Ixabepilone addition to capecitabine significantly prolonged progression-free survival and objective response rate in TNBC patients, but did not significantly improve OS (n = 1). Conclusions: The effectiveness and safety of ixabepilone-based chemotherapy versus ixabepilone-free treatment for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients vary among studies. More research is needed to better understand the effectiveness and safety of ixabepilone-based chemotherapy versus ixabepilone-free treatment in TNBC patients.
Socioeconomic impacts and government assistance in the aftermath of landslides in Mayoon since 2010: A qualitative study on the vulnerable village of Hunza, Pakistan
Authors: Sunana Alam  , Muhammad Afzal
Published: March 2024

The primary objective of this study is to assess the socioeconomic conditions of the inhabitants of village and evaluate the level of government support provided to them following the landslide. Additionally, the study aims to explore any changes in gender roles that occurred during the resettlement process. Mayoon is a modest village situated in Lower Hunza that has endured multiple landslides, rendering it susceptible to such natural like avalanches, landslides, Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs), rock fall and flash floods. However, the frequency of landslides has increased since 2010, between 1994 and 2014, there were 78 floods, 16 landslides, and 8 debris flows. Ten participants i.e., five males and five females were purposively selected for this research. A semi-structured interview protocol was prepared keeping in view literature and personal observations, which consisted of 12 open-ended questions. Thematic analysis was used to analyze data. Four major themes were extracted from transcribed data namely, post disaster impact on living, resettlement issues, government role and gender role and disaster. It was discovered that most residents of Mayoon village, who were mainly farmers relying on agriculture, suffered from the landslides. The disaster not only destroyed the farmlands but also the cultural such as cultural sites once they gathered for religious activities. Once they gathered to perform their religious activities, the region was devastated by the disaster. Marriages, cultural events, and festivals were celebrated with zeal and zest, but post-disaster celebrations changed the way they were celebrated earlier. Many affected people had to move to different areas for safety, resulting in the loss of social connections among them. Despite knowing the risk of more landslides, most of them resettled in the same village due to unavailability of sufficient land. The local government failed to relocate them to a safer place and is unable to provide services to the affected individuals.

Published: March 2024

En Argentina, pocos estudios de costos evalúan los impactos del riego en la productividad, calidad y rentabilidad vitícola. Menos aún relacionando volumen, precio y costos del viticultor. Este artículo analiza la relación costo-volumen-utilidad en la producción de uva Torrontés Riojano bajo riego deficitario controlado (RDC) al 50% desde envero hasta la cosecha. En el Valle de Antinaco - Los Colorados, La Rioja, Argentina evaluamos variaciones del volumen de producción y calidad de las uvas. Luego, determinamos el punto de equilibrio, margen de seguridad, apalancamiento operativo y realizamos un estudio de sensibilidad sobre precios de venta. Los resultados muestran que el RDC por hectárea redujo los kilos de uva cosechados y los costos totales. Pero, los costos unitarios crecieron, afectando negativamente los niveles de equilibrio, seguridad y el apalancamiento operativo. La calidad enológica de la uva mejoró, pero el mercado mantuvo los precios fijos. Se concluye que el RDC contribuye al ahorro de agua, mejora la calidad de la uva, pero no la rentabilidad por hectárea. Así se abre la discusión sobre la rentabilidad como incentivo para expandir la superficie cultivada, economizando agua, sin perjudicar la calidad de las uvas en el sector vitícola provincial.

ÖZET

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Selçuklu Sultanı Alaaddin Keykubat’ın özellikle adını verdiği Alaiye şehrinde yaptığı sportif faaliyetler ve bu faaliyetleri gerçekleştirdiği alanlar hakkında bilgi vermektir. Sportif faaliyetler, beden ve ruh ikilemini zinde tutmak adına Türkler için önemli bir aktivite alanı oluşturmuştur. Konargöçer yaşamın hareket ağı içerisinde araçlı ve araçsız olarak pek çok mücadeleye girişmiş olan Türkler bolluk ve bereketi her zaman hareket karşılığında görmüşlerdir ki “Nerede hareket, orada bereket.”, “Hareket olan yerde bolluk olur.” şeklindeki atasözlerimiz dilimize yerleşmiştir. Bedenî yeterliliğin tüm yaşamsal ihtiyaçları karşılamada bir gereklilik olduğunun farkında olan Türkler öncelikle vücut yapılarını daha sağlıklı hale getirmiştir. Bunun için ise birçok spor dalında ustalaşmışlardır. Özellikle avcılık, binicilik, okçuluk, güreş ve at üstünde oynanan oyunlarla hem bedenî terbiyeyi sağlamışlar hem de psikolojik hazırlığı sağlayarak savaş alanlarında başarılar elde etmişlerdir. Bu bağlamda yaşanılan coğrafyanın ve kültürün, yapılan sporlar üzerindeki etkisi günümüze kadar ulaşmıştır. Türk spor tarihinin geçmişine ışık tutan kaynaklarda dönemin yaşam koşulları ya da dönem yöneticisinin ilgisi doğrultusunda yapılan sporlardan bahsedilmektedir. Nitel araştırma yöntemi ile değerlendirilen bu çalışmada Selçuklu hükümdarlarından Alaaddin Keykubat dönemindeki sportif faaliyetler, bu faaliyetler için oluşturulan alanlar ile yapılan faaliyetlerin psikolojik ve sosyolojik etkileri değerlendirilmiştir. Yanı sıra mevcut çalışma ile Türk spor tarihi literatürüne katkı sağlanması planlanmıştır.

Perspective Chapter: Valorization of Biological Waste into Biofertilizers and Biopesticides in Climate-Smart Agriculture in the Democratic Republic of Congo
Authors: Moango Adrien
Published: March 2024

Organic biodegradable waste contributes to environmental pollution in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Pyrolysis, composting and mycorrhization are technologies used to recover this waste into biofertilizers and biopesticides, alternative to chemical fertilizers and pesticides that have significant economic and ecological footprints. Biological waste recovered in this way is climatic game and agricultural potential. Biochar Kahambwe with high carbon content (46.5%), proves to be a carbon sink and a considerable pedogenetic factor. Biochar Kahambwe, due to its alkaline pH (8.6), acts as a limestone amendment for the acidity of tropical soils. Biochar Kahambwe with a high cation exchange capacity (46.3%) is a source of nutrients including nitrogen (3.8%), phosphorus (0.59%), and potassium (0.20%) as well as the water stored in its pores (Water Binding Capacity: θv = 0.035 cm3.cm-1; pF = 1.25) which also serve as ecological niches for bacteria (Azotobacter, Nitrobacter, Nitrosomonas), Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (Glomus, Gigaspora). In the process of composting and mycorrhization of biochar, the respective values of the Stability Indices of Organic Materials are 45%, 60%, 60%, and 80%, respectively, for manure composts, pig manure, household waste composts, and sawdust composts.

The research method applied is a qualitative approach, with data collection techniques through open questionnaires to students. The implementation phase of the research started from the registration of MBKM programming students, followed by sending an open questionnaire to interns at the South Sulawesi Language Center by applying the principle of Independent Learning according to a constructivist approach. The second stage is to classify the results of the questionnaire from students, then discuss the results of the questionnaire, by linking the results of the questionnaire with the constructivist approach, and Paulo Freire's theory. To determine the validity of the data, triangulation was carried out to students regarding the results of the questionnaire. This research was conducted in the even semester of 2021/2022, for UKI Toraja students in 2019. The results showed that the Independent Learning Campus (MBKM) was effective in developing creativity, independence, and social interaction. Based on the results of this study, it is recommended for further researchers to examine aspects of personal communication in the implementation of the Independent Learning Campus (MBKM) program

Demokratisyner på kollisionskurs: Debatten inför författningsreformen 1974
Authors: Svanberg Mikael
Published: March 2024

Rapporten är en empirisk studie av den pressdebatt som föregick riksdagsbeslutet om det vilande förslaget till ny regeringsform i februari 1974. Mot företrädare för de fyra största riksdagspartierna stod representanter för ideella organisationer, allmänheten och enstaka politiker. Medan de förra hävdade att författningsreformen i huvudsak var en kodifiering av praxis, hävdade motståndarna att reformen gav regeringen verktyg att inskränka de medborgerliga fri- och rättigheterna samt att den försvagade monarkin eftersom den lämnade statschefen nästan helt utan lagfästa arbetsuppgifter. Medan flera av reformens motståndare ville ha en folkomröstning om grundlagsförslaget, hävdade reformens anhängare att förslaget var alltför komplicerat för allmänheten att ta ställning till i en folkomröstning och att resultatet av en sådan skulle vara svårt att tolka. Debatten röjer tydliga skillnader i synen på den representativa demokratin i de båda lägren. De motståndare som kom till uttryck i debatten argumenterade konsekvent från en naturrättsligt grundad rättsuppfattning medan reformens anhängare från ett rättsrealistiskt perspektiv hävdade att demokratiskt valda politiker hade mandat att fatta vilka beslut som helst och att kritik av den uppfattningen var angrepp på den representativa demokratin. Skälet till att att författningsfrågan alls aktualiserades och hölls vid liv under så många år förefaller vara att den socialdemokratiska partiledningen med hjälp av de tre borgerliga partierna under lång tid försökte balansera de radikala partiaktivisterna inom det egna partiet.

Revisión bibliométrica de la evolución de las habilidades de lectura en entornos virtuales por estudiantes universitarios
Authors: Orrillo Salazar Giuliana
Published: March 2024

La presente revisión bibliométrica tuvo como objetivo analizar la producción científica sobre la evolución de las habilidades lectoras en entornos virtuales por estudiantes universitarios. Se realizó un análisis bibliométrico descriptivo a lo largo del tiempo de los artículos presentes en la base de datos de Scopus, utilizando palabras clave como "Habilidades de lectura", "Entornos Virtuales" y "Educación Superior" en inglés y español. Se identificaron y analizaron un total de 209 documentos relevantes publicados en el periodo comprendido entre enero de 2002 y diciembre de 2023, empleando herramientas como Datawrapper, Bibliometrix y VOS viewer. La investigación aborda diversas dimensiones de las habilidades de lectura, desde su conceptualización teórica hasta la aplicación práctica en contextos virtuales, con un énfasis particular en el rendimiento de los estudiantes universitarios. Se concluye que la habilidad de lectura en entornos virtuales por estudiantes universitarios es una temática relevante, de productividad creciente, cuya investigación se enfoca principalmente desde el punto de vista práctica de estrategias en aulas, y escasa en teoría educativas.
Einerseits und Andererseits
Authors: Volkmann Uwe
Published: March 2024

Die derzeitige Diskussion um ein Verbot der AfD ist ein anschauliches Beispiel dafür, wie sich die Wahrnehmung auch ganz grundlegender verfassungsrechtlicher Institute im Laufe der Zeit verändern kann. Bis in die siebziger und achtziger Jahre des letzten Jahrhunderts war das Parteiverbot bei vielen geradezu verschrien; es galt zusammen mit den Notstandsgesetzen und dem Radikalenerlass als weiteres Repressionsinstrument eines autoritären Staates, als sichtbarer Beleg für dessen immer nur vorgeschobene Liberalität. Aber ob man den Antrag stellt oder nicht, ist eine schwierige Abwägungsentscheidung, die man auch nicht dadurch unterlaufen kann, dass man sie zu einer rechtlichen erklärt oder sie in der Verfassung schon vorweggenommen sieht.
Investigating the impact of the diameter of the solar collector on the output power of the solar chimney system
Authors: Galia Rabia AL. , Ahmed Mohsen Faroun
Published: March 2024

The aim of this of paper is to study the effects of the collector radius of a solar chimney power plant (SCPP) on the power output of a solar chimney system. The data was collected from a small prototype solar chimney which was conducted at the College of Engineering, Sabratha. Geometric measurements were taken from the first model used in Manzanares, Spain. In this research, the height of the chimney was fixed at 194.6 m, the geometric dimensions of the solar chimney station were fixed and, the value of the collector radius was varied for energy production .The power output value was calculated for each radius. MATLAB software was used as numerical solution tool to assess the thermal behavior and performance of a solar chimney power plant . The maximum value obtained for the output power was 192.19 kilowatts with a diameter of 544 meters whereas the lowest value was 55 kilowatts with a diameter of 244 meters. Both values were obtained at the same time at 3 p.m. which shows the effect of the collector radius on the amount power produced. Also, it was concluded that the theoretical power output of SCPP is directly proportional to the radius of the collector.
