Titanium parts include in deep-sea drilling and mining installations, pumps, pipelines, heat exchange equipment for various purposes and high-pressure vessels, which are used in offshore oil and gas fields. Existing methods of applying a hard chrome coating to titanium parts do not have a clear scientific justification and recommendations. The essence of author’s method is the preliminary preparation of the surface of the part by etching in a bath of concentrated hydrochloric acid, followed by surface activation by passing a current in the opposite direction. The application of a hard chrome coating is performed on a rotating part when it is partially immersed in an electrolytic bath. Keywords: titanium; hard chrome coating; electrolyte; chrome plating; electrolytic bath; oxide film.

Metabolism And Measurable Metabolic Parameters
Authors:   ConductScience, Corscadden Louise , Singh Anjali
Published: January 2023

Metabolism is the sum of chemical reactions involved in sustaining the life of organisms.[1] It constantly provides your body with the energy to perform essential functions. The process is categorized into two groups:[2] Catabolism: It’s the process of breaking down molecules to obtain energy. For example, converting glucose to pyruvate by cellular respiration. Anabolism: It’s the process of synthesis of compounds required to run the metabolic process of the organisms. For example, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.[2] Metabolism is affected by a range of factors, such as age, sex, muscle mass, body size, and physical activity affect metabolism or BMR (the basal metabolic rate). By definition, BMR is the minimum amount of calories your body requires to function at rest.[2] Now, you have a rough idea about the concept. But, you might wonder why you need to study it. What and how metabolic parameters are measured to determine the metabolism of the organism? Find the answer to all these questions in this article.
A Design Approach to the Analysis of Rotor Slip Dominance in Torque Production during Low Slip Motoring.
Authors: Oyakhilomen Omogbai Nelson , Victor C Ogboh
Published: January 2023

The study beams more light on torque production at low slip frequency, where the effect of rotor resistance clearly overrides that of the rotor leakage reactance. It is widely admitted that the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the rotor bar has the major design influence on the rotor resistance (R2 ) at this slip region. Besides, the low slip approximation of the developed torque equation tends to reveal that at a given constant voltage and frequency, the only parameter by which the squirrel cage induction motor (SCIM) designer could significantly influence torque development for a given load torque, is the R2 . But it is also widely agreed that torque is operationally dependent on slip, and that the slip at which a given torque is produced rises with R2 as the slope of the torque speed curve decreases; and this seems to imply the flow of more current at a given operating point. Further, it is also true that this current rise ought to be limited by this increase in R2 from the design or redesign of the rotor bar. There seems to be a subtle conflict between the individual influence of rotor slip and R2 as far as torque is concerned. However, this study shows that the superior rate of change of slip, relative to that of R2 in their respective responses to a design modification in bar CSA, largely supports the fact that slip will always dominate in influence on torque at the high-speed motoring mode of the SCIM.

Reputation Systems: A framework for attacks and frauds classification
Authors: Pereira Rui Humberto , Gonçalves Maria José , Magalhães Marta Alexandra Guerra
Published: January 2023

Reputation and recommending systems have been widely used in e-commerce, as well as online collaborative networks, P2P networks and many other contexts, in order to provide trust to the participants involved in the online interaction. Based on a reputation score, the e-commerce user feels a sense of security, leading the person to trust or not when buying or selling. However, these systems may give the user a false sense of security due to their gaps. This article discusses the limitations of the current reputation systems in terms of models to determine the reputation score of the users. We intend to contribute to the knowledge in this field by providing a systematic overview of the main types of attack and fraud found in those systems, proposing a novel framework of classification based on a matrix of attributes. We believe such a framework could help analyse new types of attacks and fraud. Our work was based on a systematic literature review methodology.
The Effect of Learning Strategy and Critical Thinking Ability on English Essay Writing Skills
Authors: Lisdwiana Kurniati  , Wanawir Abdul Muin
Published: January 2023

The Informatics Engineering Study Program at Mitra Karya University Bekasi has two English courses given in semesters 1 and 3. In semester I, students study English which is directed at understanding grammatical and vocabulary in the field of Informatics Engineering. Students must be able to write a minimum of three paragraphs about their field. Learning to write essays is also aimed at mastering thesis abstract writing. Writing is one aspect of productive language skills. For this reason, the principle of teaching writing is how to make students have sufficient competence in an effort to produce good writing skills in students. However, the process of learning to write English essays is not as easy as expected so far. Students still experience many difficulties in writing essays, this causes the quality of the content of their English essays to be not optimal. Even though it is known that students should be able to react critically when reading an essay text that is presented either on a website, newspaper, magazine, or book. This study uses an experimental method and a quantitative approach, while the data collection technique is carried out by means of observation, tests and documentation, so the results of this study explain that from the results of the description of descriptive statistical data it is known that the average value of students who learn to write English essays using metacognitive strategies had an average score of 81.5 higher than students who studied with cognitive strategies.

Published: January 2023

Fungal infections tend to be the most commonly diagnosed skin disease in Africa and with a high percentage of incidence among school-age children. This epidemiological survey summarized the epidemiological trends of dermatophytoses reported in West African countries. The review protocol was done in March 2019 through a literature search using Medline, Google Scholar, PubMed and African Journals Online (AJOL) databases to download all published papers reporting fungal infections among school-age children in West Africa. The period included in the reports was February 2007 to January 2019. A total number of 36,299 samples were investigated by the authors across West African countries and a total of 6262 were recorded positive with dermatophytes segregated by male and female. Tinea capitis has a prevalence of 44.4% and mainly affected children of ages 6–10 years (78.09%). This was followed by Tinea corporis and Tinea unguium with a prevalence of 19.4% and 13.9% respectively. Trichophyton species [n=67 (54.92%)], Microsporum species [n=34 (27.87%)], Aspergillus species [n=6 (4.92%)] and Epidermophyton species [n=5 (4.10%)] are most keratinophilic fungi isolated. The scalp [n=2471 (38.51%)], scalp and body [n= 2142 (33.38%)] and toe and nails [n=479 (7.46%)] were the most affected body parts recorded. Tinea capitis remains a common infection among the subjects, and various interventions are needed to reduce the spread of dermatophytic infections in this category.
Accessibility of astronomy journal papers

Published: January 2023

The Working Group on Accessibility and Disability (WGAD) of the American Astronomical Society published a comprehensive list of accessibility recommendations for professional astronomy journals, based on the first-hand experience of both higher education students and professional astronomers. The recommendations include accessibility strategies intended to improve access for a wide range of disabled and neurodiverse readers, with particular attention to the way readers with visual, motor, and cognitive disabilities cope with information in a digital interface. In this paper we use the tools of critical discourse analysis (CDA) to compare the recommended strategies to the digital discursive modes currently employed by leading astronomy journals. Raters analyzed discourse modes for a sample of 256 astronomy journal articles, including the usage of linguistic indicators, digital architecture, and information display. We identify emergent categories of access barriers faced by disabled astronomers, and identify strategies in the journal papers addressing those emergent categories. We compare the discourse modes currently used in astronomy publications with the access barriers and recommended strategies described by the WGAD document. Our analysis found that discourses in astronomical publications were typically constituted with the expectation of various shared commonalities between the author and the reader, including: 1. Same sensorial modality of interaction; 2. Same experiential knowledge as authors; 3. Same access to information as authors; 4. Same linguistic knowledge as authors; 5. Same cognitive strategies as authors; 6. Same socioeconomic status and background. This case study may serve as a baseline for future studies on how inaccessible textual discourse, digital architecture, and digital display in STEM journals enhance professional inequalities. Examining how current standard journal standards impact the transition to different professional career stages would help to identify alternate discursive strategies which would improve accessibility.

Changes : The Rise of Theatre Studies as an Academic Discipline in Hungary
Authors: Jákfalvi Magdolna
Published: January 2023

During the course of the 21th century, there appeared trends and schools that characterised European theatrical practice as a whole, and yet the functioning of the academic discipline would traverse different paths in small-language cultures, especially those that fell under Soviet power, than the rest of the continent did. We associate the emergence of theatre studies as an academic discipline with the emerging concept of performativity, as seen in Erika Fischer-Lichte’s impactful paper. “However, the discovery of the performative dates back to the beginning of this century. It resulted, among other things, in the birth of a new academic discipline – theatre studies.” (Erika Fischer-Lichte, „From Text to Performance: The Rise of Theatre Studies as an Academic Discipline in Germany”, Theatre Research International 24, No. 2. [1999]: 168–178, 168.) From the vantage point of the hundred-year-long history of German theatre studies, this statement is undeniably inspiring, since on the one hand, it allows us to glimpse the shared characteristics of performance culture at the beginning of the century, from Craig through Appia to Stanislavski, and on the other, it lets us note that decades later, the language theory research beginning with Austen derives inspiration from a completely different experiential platform when it comes to the performative character of language (and not that of bodily processes.) However, in small-language cultures we perceive a different academic practice, therefore in this paper we follow the structure of scholarship born of the discovery, experience and naming of performativity, until the solidification of Sovietised academic practices in the 1960s.
“World Theatre in Szolnok” During the 1970s : Gábor Székely: The Drake’s Head, 1973
Authors: Kékesi Kun Árpád
Published: January 2023

Gábor Székely’s stagings of Örkény, Chekhov, Molière and Shakespeare in Szolnok during the 1970s overshadow his mise-en-scène of Gácsérfej (The Drake’s Head), whose significance is almost made imperceptible by the unfamiliarity of the play (and its author), and the complete absence of its stage history in Hungary. However, the 1973 performance of George Ciprian’s play illustrates the far-reaching boldness of the effort that “we want to create world theatre here in Szolnok”, which could be the motto of the Székely Era in this small Hungarian town. The essay outlines how The Drake’s Head developed into the essence of this ambition, and how free from orthodoxy Székely handled “committed political theatre”, even against the expectations of the authorities.

Published: January 2023

Sustainability and Cyber security are essential to gain the competitive edge in the firms and development of overall economies. This needs to develop Trust in Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Keeping in view the current trends in technological, ethical, economic and legal environment, Trust is considered to be crucial for business and it fosters both sustainability and cyber security. It is pertinent for the Government and business firms to create a balance between the latest technologies and adoption of the stress –tested technology without hastening to be the earliest adopters of new technologies. Research suggests the socio-economic importance of trust in security of digital environment considering the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). It is very pertinent to understand the mechanism for the effective use of innovative technologies for the realisation of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), and also how to track them. In the absence of effective cybersecurity practices, the organisation would substantially undermine the financial and reputational costs of cyberattacks. The purpose of the research is to explore elements of sustainable management into cyber security that would help in reframing the perceptions of cybersecurity from fear, uncertainty and a doubt to a more proactive mind-set of opportunity, dynamism and transformation. The emphasis of this paper is to conceptualise the balance between sustainable development goal and cybersecurity. Analytical research methodology will be adopted to understand the concepts, opinions or experiences.

In this research, model development is carried out under supervised learning, as the system tries to correct and update itself by comparing the outcome with the target result. After all, only one model category is used, enhanced model performance through substituting the selected features with high sensitivity and low accuracy in clinical knowledge. The experimental analysis shows that the Gradient Boosting (GB) XG Boosting model achieves the best result using the original data set to predict PTB-disease. The ensemble model composed of the Adaboost, Bagging, Random Forest, GB, and Multi-Layer Perceptron models is the best to detect. The Ensemble model reaches 97.8 % accuracy, which exceeds each classification’s accuracy. The model is used to help doctors analyze & evaluate medical cases to validate the diagnosis and minimize human error. It effectively mitigates clinical diagnosis in such difficult challenges as microscopic scanning and reduces the likelihood of misdiagnosis. The model differentiates the patient using a voting method of different machine learning classifiers to provide accurate solutions from having only one model. The novelty of this approach lies in its adaptability to the ensemble model that is continually optimizing itself based on data.

In present day scenario, the cybercrime is on the verge of rising and everyone is being a victim of such cybercrime which are happening worldwide by just a click on the computer and with the internet. The advance technology of the internet has definitely threatened the legality of the laws. Any person having an access to the internet and knowing how to operate a computer can easily commit the offence of cybercrime. Everyone has been a victim of cybercrime in their life sometime or the other. The existing norms and clauses of the criminal law seems to be ill equipped and outdated to deal with such advance crime happening in the cyberworld. Women and children have always been a target of any crime and likewise, the cybercrime against women has also taken the lead. Women are now also being subjected to the cybercrime and there have been many instances where we can see the females and the children being the easy target, even in the cyberworld. In this paper I shall plan to discuss how the cyberworld has affected the women, children and senior citizen of the country. I shall also briefly examine upon various existing laws that deals with specific aspects of the cybercrime and also crime against women and children. I will be referring to various case laws to interpret the objectivity of the cybercrime and also refer the major sections of The Information Technology Act (2000) and The Indian Penal Code (1860). In this paper, I shall further describe what exactly a cybercrime is and what the various types of cybercrimes are. I will be elaborating the reasons of such offences and how an individual is being a victim under cybercrime, especially women, children and senior citizen. At our conclusion, we will focus on methods and judicial remedies available to prevent such cybercrimes.

This paper explores the challenges of social enterprises (SEs) in Nepal. The study is qualitative in nature and uses case studies, open-ended questionnaires and interviews of social entrepreneurs and experts. The Nepalese social enterprises are driven by social motives and social value creation rather than profit. They focus on bringing positive social impact. Absence of legal and other policies create confusions, thus poses challenges in sustaining social enterprises. Specific social enterprises promotion acts, financing policies, and business support services are some of the shortcomings for the sustainability and growth of social enterprises in Nepal. Comprehensive government policies and related regulations would be instrumental in promoting social enterprises in Nepal.

Published: January 2023

Introdução: A COVID-19 foi responsável por milhares de óbitos no Brasil e no mundo. Diante disto, investigar as determinantes sociais e a localização geográfica são estratégias que podem contribuir para que determinadas populações fiquem menos expostas à determinadas condições, sobretudo num contexto de pandemia. Objetivo: Analisar os municípios com maior incidência de óbitos por COVID-19 no Brasil no período de abril a agosto de 2021. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo transversal e analítico de dados secundários disponibilizados pelo Diagnósticos da América S.A (DASA) - DASA ANALYTICS (dadoscoronavirus.dasa.com.br). Foram selecionados os 15 municípios de médio e grande porte de todo o território nacional com maiores taxas de óbitos por COVID-19 ao final de cada mês no período de abril a agosto de 2021. Em seguida, foram levantadas informações a respeito da população e índice de desenvolvimento humano municipal (IDH-M). Resultados e discussão: A região do país que mais teve municípios com maiores índices de óbitos por COVID-19 está localizada na região Nordeste, Norte e Sudeste principalmente cidades capitais e nas proximidades. Durante o período investigado, nenhum município da região Sul foi ranqueado. Não foram encontradas associação entre IDH-M baixo e maiores taxas de óbitos em nenhuma das regiões. Conclusão: Considerando a realidade das grandes metrópoles, acredita-se que os elevados números de óbitos pela infecção estejam relacionados a densidade demográfica, uma vez que dificulta o acesso e o atendimento aos serviços de saúde. A discussão ampliada a respeito das variáveis que interferiram nas taxas de mortalidade pela COVID-19 possibilita maior entendimento a respeito das características territoriais e contribuem para a elaboração de estratégias de intervenção e adoção de medidas de segurança e contenção do vírus.
Introducing Interdisciplinary Curricula Into Conservation Biology: Exploring Changes in Students’ Perceived Proenvironmental Attitudes and Behaviors
Authors: Janes Jasmine , McCunn Lindsay J
Published: January 2023

Today, conserving the natural environment is paramount. Educators have been striving to develop pedagogical approaches that facilitate greater engagement in conservation behaviors. However, many of these reforms have been targeted at an institutional level, without necessarily testing whether changes in proenvironmental perceptions, attitudes, or behaviors occur for students. This step seems important when developing conservation biology courses that provide well-rounded education that may better prepare students for future challenges in biodiverse conservation contexts. Our objective was to assess the proenvironmental attitudes and conservation values of undergraduate students enrolled in an undergraduate conservation biology course before and after instruction to determine whether a multidisciplinary curriculum, in conjunction with traditional conservation biology content, would alter their perceptions. Students in both the control and intervention groups felt relatively neutral about a range of environmental and conservation topics. No statistical significance between curricula and impact on student perception was revealed. However, in the experimental course, shifts were found concerning students’ understanding of the complexity of conservation. Results also highlight long-standing issues related to conservation education, such as a bias toward mammal conservation, and suggest that guest lectures are insufficient to bring about attitude change related to sustainability. Further research on incorporating cross-disciplinary pedagogy into STEM courses is recommended.

Authors: Stadtlander Lee , Ozcan Arfe , Johnson LaToya , Nicholson Briana , Hyder Narjis
Published: January 2023

Isolation of online doctoral students intensifies when they transition from coursework to the dissertation/capstone phase, limiting them to interacting with their mentors. A three-round modified Delphi study was conducted to examine mentoring preferences of online doctoral students and faculty. The first round provided qualitative data regarding the preferred mentoring practices for faculty and alumni. Round 1 qualitative data were organized into Likert questions and used in the second round, which resulted in data about frequency of mentoring practices for the same participants from Round 1. The third round provided data about importance of each preference rated by faculty and current students. Findings indicated a dichotomy was present in that mentees’ academic self-esteem appeared to be tied to faculty being responsive. Faculty emphasized mentee autonomy while mentees wanted frequent contact with faculty.

Published: January 2023

Student leadership identity is fast becoming one of the most critical challenges educational institutions face today. However, mental health counselors may be limited in the amount of education and training received as they become leaders in the field. There is currently no known mandate at the master’s level for leadership embedded within the counseling curriculum in the educational environment, although research suggests otherwise. The purpose of this correlational predictive empirical study was to investigate leadership identity characteristics as measured by the Socially Responsible Leadership Scale, Revision 2 (SLRS-R2), moderated by demographic factors. Multiple regression analysis was used to determine outcome measures of the SLRS-R2 relating to leadership. Conclusions and suggestions for future practice regarding leadership skill development are provided.

While research identifies spirituality and inclusion in a community of faith as key factors contributing to quality of life for many individuals in our society, people with disabilities are often not able to access this aspect of everyday life if they wish. To change this, four groups must come together: (1) individuals with disabilities; (2) faith communities; (3) families of people with disabilities; and (4) support service providers. Current research describes the efforts of faith communities and people with disabilities and their families relative to spiritual inclusion; however, little is known about how support service systems are addressing this topic. This study surveyed direct support professionals to examine their beliefs, perceptions, and practices regarding spirituality and its role in the person-centered planning process for people with disabilities. Results indicate professionals have a high level of support for including spirituality in person-centered planning; however, this attitude does not consistently transfer to their practices. Overcoming identified barriers and meeting the needs of professionals are discussed in the context of better inclusion of this quality of life aspect for people with disabilities.

Soil fertility norms for citrus cultivars are limited. An extensive survey was carried out in ninety five-bearing orchards of Sathgudi sweet orange (Citrus sinensis Osbeck) in YSR Kadapa, Nalgonda, Nellore and Anantapur districts of Andhra Pradesh to develop soil fertility norms through Diagnosis and Recommendation Integrated System (DRIS). DRIS-based analysis predicted the optimum values of available nutrients in soil as 0.70-0.92% organic carbon, 27.46- 41.96 kg/ha Olsen-P, 232.51-303.11 kg/ha NH4OAc-K, 13.13-25.80 mg/kg DTPA- Fe, 0.95-1.18 mg/kg DTPA-Zn, 18.13-29.22 mg/kg DTPA-Mn and 1.12- 2.13 mg/kg DTPA-Cu in relation to fruit yield of 21.23-39.15 tonnes/ha in Sathgudi sweet orange. These indices identified the low levels of organic carbon (41% orchards), Olsen-P (45% orchards) and DTPA-Zn (32% orchards). While optimum levels of K, Fe, Cu, and Mn were observed in sweet orange growing orchards of Andhra Pradesh. The new DRIS norms for yield showed that the yield level should be considered as â€˜lowâ€™ when it is less than 21.22 tonnes/ha.

Dal milling is among top three grain processing industries in India. Milling performance of pulses varies with grain property and milling methodologies with a key role played by the genotype. More than 190 varieties of chickpea belonging to both desi and kabuli types have been released in India mainly on the basis of yield and disease reaction, ignoring the miller and traders preferred processing traits. There is dearth of information about milling performance of chickpea varieties cultivated in India. The present study provides milling potential of 46 popular chickpea varietieswhich are currently in seed chain in the country. Although kabuli type chickpea varieties are mostly consumed as whole seed, yet they were included in the study for comparing their milling potential with desi types. The kabuli varieties exhibited better dal recovery (83.1-87.8%) than desi (61.3-82.6%) along with lesser soaking period (90-240 min) and chaff content (8-13.6%) due to their thinner seed coat. The kabuli types exhibited poor grain yield (944-1764 kg/ha) as compared to desi types (811-2558 kg/ha). The difference in yield among desi and kabuli types was compensated in dal yield to some extent due to better dal recovery (%) among kabuli types. Among desi varieties, soaking period and chaff content was positively correlated indicating that more the chaff content more will be the soaking duration and vice versa. The dal recovery was positively correlated with 100-seed weight and negatively correlated with chaff content. Dal recovery among desi varieties can be improved by reducing seed coat thickness. Desi varieties GNG-2144, RSG-963, RSG-974 and kabuli varieties IPCK 2002-29, CSJK-6, JGK-3 exhibited better milling propertiesand can be used as a donor for improved milling properties.

Published: January 2023

Optical burst switching is a high-speed data transfer technology where, in place of isolated packets, a bunch of packets known as a burst is sent. However, this mechanism is simple in transmission and reception as bursts propagate on a dedicated path, but burst assembly is a complex problem, and till date, the optimum burst length for data transmission is not fixed. This is the main hurdle in the implementation of OBS. In this paper, a mathematical model is developed to obtain network traffic flow equations and packet/bust drop rates under with and without considering the buffers at various nodes of the switches. The burst length modelling is also detailed, and finally, Monte Carlo simulation is performed to obtain various results. The obtained results clearly reveal that the proposed mathematical model is well in agreement of simulation results.
Libertad de expresión de funcionarios públicos en la virtualidad y la facultad de bloquear en redes sociales
Authors: Ignacio Velazco Wilder
Published: January 2023

Los funcionarios públicos en la actualidad usan las redes socia-les para emitir ideas, expresar opiniones, comunicar sobre sus actividades e interactuar con los ciudadanos. Sin embargo, esa interacción virtual puede verse obstruida cuando los funcionarios públicos bloquean a los usuarios o seguidores en sus redes sociales (Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp, Face-book Messenger, WeChat, Instagram, TikTok, QQ.). Si esto ocurre, el ciudadano queda impedido o limitado de conocer las ideas y la actividad del funcionario público. Bloquear seguidores sirve para resguardar la intimidad, integridad y vida privada de los usuarios. Su uso puede ser discrecional para personas que no posean responsabilidad pública, sin embargo, el escenario varía en el supuesto de funcionarios públicos. En ese contexto, el objetivo de este trabajo ha sido analizar si los funcionarios públicos pueden bloquear libremente a los usuarios. La metodología que se sigue consiste en enfoque cualitativo, empleando el método analítico y dogmático, con revisión bibliográfica y normativa. La conclusión es que el funcionario no tiene potestad discrecional para bloquear de sus redes, ya que quienes siguen la cuenta están interesados en conocer la información o las opiniones que difunde, además, es de interés público. En tal contexto, un funcionario público no puede bloquear usuarios y si lo hace limita derechos como la libertad de expresión e información de los ciudadanos.
Bicentenario e intelectualidad
Authors: Urviola Montesinos Luis H.
Published: January 2023

El presente estudio es una retrospectiva sociológica sobre el surgimiento de lo mejor de la intelectualidad republicana en el Perú como resultado centenario de la revolución de su independencia a través de sus generaciones más representativas: la del 900, la Generación del Centenario y la del 30, principalmente. Es una interpretación histórica que da cuenta cómo el impacto de la Independencia se va diluyendo en el tiempo y, a pesar del ulterior incremento incesante de intelectuales, en todo orden, ya no conta-mos con referentes que brillen con luz propia como los que formaron la In-telligentsia de la época de oro que compartieron las generaciones antedichas. Para este análisis son muy útiles los conceptos sociológicos fundamentales de generación y la sucesión de estas en la sociedad así como su contextualización ideológica frente a la necesidad de establecer el nacionalismo en una trama sociocultural significativamente compleja y a su vez ineludible.
