Modeling and Optimization of Temperature Distribution on Heat Pump Convective Food Dryers By Artificial Neural Networks (ANN)
Authors: Polatci Hakan , Koray Yildiz Adil , Tasova Muhammed
Published: December 2023

It is generally subjected to a drying process to extend the shelf life of agricultural products and to obtain products with high added value. Commonly used drying methods are open-sun, hot air, infrared, microwave, and hybrid methods. The open-sun drying method is advantageous in terms of energy consumption and practicality. However, it is quite disadvantageous in terms of obtaining a homogeneous temperature distribution and hygienic end product. For this reason, renewable energy sources are used both to reduce the increasing energy consumption and to provide a quality and fast drying process. Especially solar dryers have become quite popular. However, one of the most important problems in solar dryers in the literature review is the temperature difference between the drying racks. This problem causes an increase in energy consumption and the formation of end products that are not of homogeneous quality. In this study, the temperature distribution between the shelves of a conventional dryer with a solar assisted heat pump was modeled with artificial neural networks. Present calculations revealed the lowest total cost value as 54.48 at 55 ï¿½C target temperature, 3.5 m/s airflow rate, and 43ï¿½ diffuser angle of the drying machine.

Published: December 2023

Understanding the patients’ history, fears, understandings, and misunderstandings could aid the healthcare provider in effectively administering care to their clients. The current study is a review of studies related to healthcare communication and their relevance to the Namibian healthcare system. It is also intended to fill the existing paucity of literature of this nature in Namibia, making this paper timely and relevant. The researchers identified the need for a review study, which critically investigates healthcare providers’ and patients’ communication experiences in Namibia, through a critical review of available literature from Namibia, Africa, and the world. As clarified in the reviewed literature, there is a lack of sufficient empirical studies on healthcare communication challenges and how healthcare providers and patients deal with such challenges in Namibia. The main finding in this study is that in addition to linguistic discordance experienced in healthcare communication, other causes of dissonance emanate from the differences in cultural backgrounds, beliefs, exposure, and experiences.
COVID-19
Authors: Nanyeni-Kanyemba Frieda Nauyele
Published: December 2023

When a country is faced with a crisis, the President, as the chief policy maker and Head of State, is the first person expected to act. With the power vested in him by the Namibian constitution in the article 26 (1), Hage Geingob, the President of Namibia declared a State of emergency on 17 March 2020 in response to the global pandemic Coronavirus (COVID-19). A national crisis is one of the important occasions of a presidency as a rhetorical institution. In this regard, words are an important source of power. Therefore, this paper analysed the language and rhetoric of emergency used by Geingob as his political tool to respond to this pandemic. The analysis is guided by the rhetorical theory (Bitzer, 1968) and Aristotle’s rhetorical proofs of ethos, pathos and logos. It is important to note that national crises such as COVID 19 are linguistic constructions in the sense that it is largely through presidential rhetoric that the country deals with them.

Published: December 2023

Bu çalışmada uzay araştırmaları alanında özel sektörün faaliyetleri ve payının arttırılmasının avantaj ve dezavantajları konusu değerlendirilecektir. Bu kapsamda özel sektör katılımının uzayın ticari amaçlı kullanılmasına ve güvenlik alanına olacak etkileri de açıklanmaya çalışılacaktır. Güvenlik sektörü tarafından sıklıkla kullanılmaları sebebiyle uzaktan algılama ve uydu fotoğrafçılığı konularına çalışmada değinilmiş, hâlihazırda özel sektör faaliyetine sahne olan bu iki alanda artan özelleştirme halinde kamunun tepkisinin ne olacağına değinilmeye çalışılmıştır. Uydu fotoğrafçılığı ve telekomünikasyonla başlayan uzaydaki özel sektör faaliyetleri içine uzun vadede daha fazla kar getirmesi beklenen uzayda madencilik faaliyetlerini de koymayı planlamaktadır. Ancak bu durumda gerek kamu gerekse de özel sektör faaliyetlerini düzenleyecek olan kapsamlı bir uzay hukuku normlarının olmadığı da bilinmektedir. Daha önce yapılan ve uzayın ortak kullanımını öngören uluslararası antlaşmalar devletler arasında vuku bulan ihtilaflara kısmen mani olmuştur. Ancak özel şirketlerin bu alana dâhil olması sonrasında ortaya çıkacak ihtilafları çözmek için uzaya has hukuk normlarının oluşturulması elzem hale gelecektir. ABD’nin 2015 yılında yayınlamış olduğu ve kısaca Space Act olarak adlandırılan yasa, ABD vatandaşlarına gök cisimlerinde ekonomik ve ticari faaliyette bulunma hakkı vermektedir ve bu da durumu karmaşıklaştırmaktadır.
IUSTINIANUS VEBASI: SİYASİ, EKONOMİK VE SOSYAL ETKİLERİ
Authors: IKİCAN Bahadır
Published: December 2023

Bizans İmparatorluğu’nun “tahıl ambarı” olarak adlandırılan Mısır’ın Pelusium kentinde 541’de patlak veren veba salgını, doğrudan ya da dolaylı yoldan Akdeniz’in tüm sahil kentlerini etkilemiştir. Yaklaşık iki yüzyıl boyunca etkisini hissettiren veba salgını, zamanla iç bölgelere de sirayet ederek Avrupa’nın pek çok bölgesinde varlığını hissettirmiştir. Başlangıçta ticaret vasıtasıyla yayılım gösteren salgın, bilhassa Britanya’da Hıristiyanlığı tebliğ eden misyonerler aracılığıyla muhtelif yerlere de yayılmıştır. Altıncı yüzyılda ortaya çıkan veba salgının arkasında sadece biyolojik etmenlerin değil, aynı zamanda birtakım iklimsel krizlerin de yattığı düşünülmektedir. Bilhassa 536’da Kuzey Yarım Küre’yi etkilediği düşünülen volkanik kış, veba salgının ortaya çıkışında ve salgın sırasında yaşamını yitiren insan sayısının artışında önemli bir etkendir. Güncel araştırmalara göre bir volkan patlaması ya da dünya yüzeyine bir kuyruklu yıldız çarpması sonucu ortaya çıkan iklim krizi, tarımsal üretimde bir düşüş yaratmıştır. Yaklaşık iki yıl kadar süren volkanik kış nedeniyle yeterli ürün elde edemeyen çiftçilerin büyük bir kısmı ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak amacıyla göç etmek durumunda kalmışlardır. Yaşanan bu göç hareketi, sadece tarım arazilerinin boş kalmasına neden olmamış, aynı zamanda zaten yeterli beslenme konusunda pek de başarılı olamayan Geç Antik Çağ insanlarının tüketim ihtiyaçlarına ulaşımını zorlaştırmıştır. Nitekim bu durum da insanların salgın karşısında bağışıklık sistemlerinin iyiden iyiye düşmesine sebep olmuştur. Bu bağlamda 536 iklim krizi, vebanın birincil etkeni değilse de salgının yayılımında ve ölüm oranlarının artmasında önemli bir unsurdur. Veba salgını bilhassa yerleşik düzen üzerine kurulu olan Bizans İmparatorluğu’nu derinden etkilemiştir. Salgının pek çok insanın canına mal olmasının yanında sağlıklı insanların hastalığa yakalanmaktan korkarak bulundukları yerleri terk etmeleri, bir göç hareketi doğurmuştur. Yaşanan bu göç hareketi de asayişsizliğin artması ve iaşe teminin sağlanması noktasında büyük bir sıkıntı yaratmıştır. Dahası salgın kaynaklı ölüm oranlarının oldukça yüksek olması, tarımda ve muhtelif işlerde çalışacak insan bulmayı zorlaştırmış ve bu durum da işgücü fiyatlarında artışa neden olmuştur. Dönemin Bizans İmparatoru Iustinianus da bu fiyat artışlarının önüne geçmek için yasalar çıkarmıştır. Ayrıca insan kaybının fazla olması orduya asker alımında sıkıntı çıkarmış ve imparatorluk “barbar” paralı askerlere yönelmek durumunda kalmıştır. Hemen hemen tüm Akdeniz kentlerini etkisi altına alan veba salgının özellikle Avrupa’nın iç kesimlerine yayılım göstermesi, Orta Çağ Avrupa dünyası açısından oldukça önemli bir unsurdur. Vebaya yakalanmaktan imtina eden insanların dine yönelmesi, kilisenin gücünü arttırmasını sağlamıştır. Ayrıca dış dünyayla bağlantının en aza indirilerek kendi kendine yeten bir ekonomi fikrinin benimsenmesi, feodal düzenin oluşumu noktasında önemli bir etken olmuştur.

Authors: Kumar Singh Arunesh , Chaturvedi D.K. , Khatoon Shahida , Ibraheem  , Sharma R.K.
Published: December 2023

Aircraft Arrester Barrier Systems (AABS) are installed near the end of runways for the purpose of arresting combat aircraft due to over shooting of runway length during aborted take-off and emergency landings. Energy Absorbing System (EAS) is one of the important subsystems of AABS. The energy absorber consists of two velocity sensitive turbine type conventional rotary hydraulic energy absorbers. There is no control in conventional EAS on energy absorption during operation of an aircraft emergency arrestment. Also, if there is any problem with conventional EAS during operation complete system fails. For different types of aircrafts different EAS needed. To overcome this problem, we may use the combination of existing conventional EAS and eddy current absorbing system. An Eddy current energy absorbing system works on the principle of Eddy currents. In proposed EAS, braking torque is high and controllable. This will help in stopping any Aircraft (like light weight, heavy weight, etc). In this paper, the proposed eddy current EAS have designed and prototype has been implemented.

Application of Dynamic Neural Network Model for Magneto- Coulombic Attitude Control of Earth-Pointing Satellite
Authors: Kumar Giri Dipak , Sinha Manoranjan
Published: December 2023

An active control of the satellite attitude using magneto-Coulombic actuators is proposed along the circular orbit. Equation for the required charges on the Coulomb shells is derived, which is used to find the available control torque along the three body axes. It is proved that the eigenvalues of the averaged control matrix of the magneto-Coulombic system in the body reference frame for different orientations and angular velocities components will converge to the same values as in the case of the eigenvalues of the averaged control matrix in the orbital reference frame. A dynamic neural network based control law is adapted and trained for the proposed system. The neural network based dynamic neural network controller has the advantages of handling the non-linearity, adaptation and on-board training, and robust to large changes in the parameters in the plant, such as the moments of inertia. It is shown that the stabilization accuracy of the dynamic neural controller is higher as compared to the proportional-derivative based controller.

Authors: Sitaram N. , Keshari Swapnil , Anish S.
Published: December 2023

Details of a measurement technique to measure periodic variation of static pressure on the vaneless diffuser hub of a centrifugal compressor are reported. Experiments were carried out in a low speed centrifugal compressor with unshrouded rotor. Twelve holes were provided on the hub in which adapters were attached, where the transducer was inserted. The output voltage from the transducer was amplified and converted to digital values for further processing of data. Sample results are presented and interpreted. From the measured static pressure distribution, it is found that the static pressure becomes uniform at downstream locations. Time averaged static pressures agree reasonably well with steady state static pressures. The reasons for the difference between the time averaged static pressures and steady state static pressures are provided.

L’outil Ultrad de La Presse Canadienne : la traduction automatique dans un contexte journalistique
Authors: Poirier Éric André , Roy Jean-Hugues
Published: December 2023

En 2018, La Presse Canadienne a mis au point Ultrad, un système de traduction automatique (TA). Ultrad est un des rares systèmes de TA à être utilisé quotidiennement par des journalistes au Canada. Toutes les traductions d’Ultrad sont révisées avant d’être publiées dans la langue cible. Notre article porte sur l’évaluation des traductions fournies par l’outil et sur les révisions apportées par les journalistes de l’agence de presse. Pour mener à bien ce travail, nous avons dépouillé un échantillon de 148 articles en anglais comportant une version traduite automatiquement en français et une version révisée par un rédacteur ou une rédactrice de La Presse Canadienne. L’évaluation des traductions, d’une part, et, d’autre part, la comparaison entre les textes traduits automatiquement et les textes révisés en post-édition (PE) ont reposé sur différentes méthodes d’analyse outillées : la comparaison des fréquences de mots, de l’alignement des paragraphes et de leur sous-segmentation en phrases graphiques pour chacun des deux groupes de bitextes (anglais avec la traduction brute, puis anglais avec la version révisée en PE) et des volumes informationnels des paires de segments; la distance euclidienne (DE) à trois dimensions entre segments source et cible et la correction linguistique fournie par le logiciel de correction linguistiqueAntidotesur la totalité des articles révisés. Notre étude est l’une des rares à s’être penchée sur l’utilisation de la TA par des journalistes. Elle met en évidence les lacunes de la TA et le caractère incontournable des interventions humaines en PE, même si ces interventions ne sont pas infaillibles.
Traduir a l’edat mitjana: el repte d’editar la Legenda aurea de Jacobus de Voragine en català
Authors: Garcia Sempere Marinela
Published: December 2023

The Catalan translation of the Legenda Aurea by Jacobus de Voragine has been considered by Meyer and by Corominesas a version very close to its Latin model. However, a review of the preserved manuscripts allows us to note remarkabledifferences from the Latin model as well as among the Catalan manuscripts. In this work we take as a basis the manuscriptE (ms. N-III-5, Madrid, Real Biblioteca del Monasterio de San Lorenzo de El Escorial) to analyse structural, editorialand textual changes in the Catalan compilation: structural changes, such as those related to the arrangement of chapters;editorial changes, such as the deletion of extensive fragments in some chapters or the replacement of the version of achapter with another one other than that by Voragine; and textual changes, such as the variants that characterize the twobranches into which the translation evolves. These changes allow us to characterize the formation and the evolution of thiscompilation. We take as a point of reference manuscript E, representative of one of the two branches of the translation,in contrast with P (ms. Espagnol 44, Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France), representative of the other. In E thereare important internal differences in the wording of each chapter and differences with respect to the other preservedmanuscripts. In some chapters, the wording of E is very different from that of P, with a less literal version of the Latin text,a wording that will serve as a model for the later print tradition. Editing this compilation based on manuscript E involvestaking into account the rest of the preserved manuscript evidence, as well as the Latin text, in addition to considering thechapters added in this manuscript.
Культовая практика как маркер религиозной идентичности
Authors: Рязанова С.В.
Published: December 2023

The purpose of the article is to establish the specifics of a new religious group – the Intercession brotherhood – by analyzing its cultic practices. The community combines features of folk religiosity, new religious movements, and so-called «historical sects». The research is based on interviews and correspondence with former members of the community, acquaintances of the inhabitants of the monastery, the analysis of materials from a closed group in a social network, records of classes conducted by the leader of the monastery, and photocopies of the group's workbooks. The Intercession monastery appears as a community of a closed type, which is manifested in the territorial and communication isolation of the residents of the communal estate, the practice of internal labor duties, and the idea of a group as a family. Orthodox rituals have been replaced by the mystical practice of fighting evil and eliminating the enemies of the commune. The practice of naming for adult members of the community, formation of new marriage unions, participation in gender-oriented councils created a special microenvironment leading to the unification of the worldview of believers. The presence of a system of privileges for advanced monks is complemented by a developed system of penalties,including public repentance, burial alive and expulsion from the monastery. In this version, the community is not a new religious movement, but a variant of the development of Orthodox life within the boundaries of modern culture.

Cultural and historical context in the analysis of the concept of "antiterrorism"
Authors: Volodin Sergei Filippovich
Published: December 2023

The purpose of the article is to critically comprehend the concept of "counterterrorism" in the context of the so-called models (strategies) of counterterrorism. The fight against terror is not confined to itself, it has to do with national interests and those factors and forces that prevent their implementation. When considering a specific counterterrorism system at the national level, it is important to take into account both cultural and historical prerequisites and fundamental factors that generate nodal contradictions in society, as well as current situational variables related to the increase in terrorist threats. Only by taking into account these factors and current situational variables that cause the growth of radical and extremist views in society, it is possible to determine the long-term logic of actions in the fight against terrorism and extremism. The author critically interprets the concept of "counterterrorism" in the context of the so-called models (strategies) of counterterrorism, which are actively being developed in modern Western historiography. Achieving this goal is not only the disclosure of the content of each of these models, but also their consideration through the prism of the Russian experience. The main conclusions of the proposed article are that the fight against terrorism should be based on powerful systems of ideological, political and law enforcement structures. A key place here is given to long-term strategic goals related to the root causes of terrorism. The goals of national security and threats, and, therefore, the directions of action should be defined and presented in regularly updated doctrinal documents. From the point of view of researchers, both the level of mastery of the tactical arsenal of hard and soft approaches, instrumental and/or political-symbolic logic of actions, and consideration of the cultural and historical characteristics of a particular society are significant. Theoretical analysis in this context helps to determine the long-term logic of counterterrorism actions when making necessary management decisions, taking into account international and national experience.
