Determinants of User Satisfaction with Fixed Broadband Internet Services during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Thu Trinh Thi , Hue Truong Thi
Published: April 2022

The internet has made the world a smaller place and has several functions in providing exposure to other individuals, locations, ideas, global access and opportunities all over the world. Arguably all these functions require users to be satisfied with internet services to achieve their objectives. This paper reports findings from 171 users with fixed broadband services during Covid-19 pandemic in Danang, Vietnam. It argues that in certain disruptive and unfavorable events, satisfaction involves the conative, which is to continue the commitment with the current provider, and not likely to switch to new services or other brands. The study identifies that the customer services, value- added services, price structure, network quality, the convenience and responsiveness are important determinants and significantly adjuncts to the generation of satisfaction.

Las malezas constituyen un factor importante en la producción de zanahoria, el cual puede mermar el rendimiento del cultivo considerablemente. El objetivo fue evaluar el efecto de los herbicidas en el control de malezas de zanahoria. El estudio se instaló bajo el Diseño de Bloques Completos al Azar (DBCA) con cuatro repeticiones y nueve tratamientos, estos fueron: testigo (T1), manual (T2), 2,5 ‰ Linuron (T3), 5 ‰ Linuron (T4), 1 ‰ Metribuzin (T5), 1,5 ‰ Metribuzin (T6), 1 ‰ Oxifluorfen (T7), 1,5 ‰ Oxifluorfen (T8) y 2,5 ‰ Oxifluorfen (T9). Los resultados indican que La maleza monocotiledónea más predominante fue S. verticillata con 16 % de la densidad total y la maleza dicotiledónea N. physaloides con 28%. El tratamiento T4 (Linuron 5.0 ‰) expresa efecto sobre la densidad de D. sanguinalis con 5,0 malezas/m2. Las malezas A. hybridus, P. oleracea, G. parviflora, C. album y I. purpura reportan menor densidad con el herbicida Linuron. Los tratamientos Linuron al 5 ‰ y el manual destacaron estadísticamente en la densidad total de malezas.

Authors: Saldanha Sandra Jyothi , Ebnezar John Neeta Priyanka , DSouza Brincy Loyolla
Published: April 2022

Background: Communication has been the important tool in maintaining professional relationships among all healthcare professionals. Novice nurses face challenges based on communication probably due to difficulty in expressing patient problems in an organized manner or language difficulties. 
Situation Background Assessment Recommendation (SBAR) technique is a structured concise format of communication which is known to help in remembering and effective conversations in health care settings. This form of structured communication is recommended in every health care setup worldwide.
Objective: The present study aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of Situation Background Assessment Recommendation (SBAR) technique of communication among the final year nursing students and comparing the difference in communication between the two undergraduate nursing courses ie., Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSc Nursing) and Diploma in Nursing and Midwifery (GNM Nursing)  
Design and methods: Two groups pretest posttest design was used where 50 students (25 from each batch of final year BSC Nursing and GNM Nursing) were selected using simple random sampling technique. SBAR teaching was provided in three sessions of one hour each for three days.
Setting: The study was conducted at a selected College and School of Nursing at Mangalore, Karnataka.
Results: The participants had no prior exposure to SBAR technique of communication. Although 21 (42%) of total subjects had primary education in the form of English, the mean pretest scores of GNM Nursing and BSc Nursing students were 7.4±1.78 and 9.2±2.36 which improved significantly after training to 14.6±0.50 and 14.2±1.00 respectively. The improvement in communication using SBAR technique was significantly higher in both the groups with t value of 18.93 and mean difference of 6.1±2.28 (95% CI 5.45-6.75, p=0.001). Also the opinionnaire collected by the students revealed that SBAR is an effective tool of communication and they would use it effectively in their clinical setting.
Conclusion: This study proves that SBAR is an effective and prompt communication technique irrespective of any discipline of nursing education that can improve health care communications between all personnel, thus improving quality of care.
Apropiaciones del espacio doméstico en la vivienda socialista: una mirada a la Unión Soviética y Vietnam
Authors: García Moro Francisco
Published: April 2022

A finales de los años cincuenta, los programas de vivienda en la Unión Soviética y Vietnam se enfrentaron a la necesidad de redefinir el programa funcional y estético del espacio doméstico. Para acompañar las nuevas viviendas se habí­a de crear una industria de bienes de consumo y, además, inculcar nuevas nociones de decoro y modernidad en la población. El lapso entre la narrativa oficial de la modernidad y sus limitaciones convirtió los espacios del dí­a a dí­a en terrenos de confrontación soterrada. De entre todos ellos, sin duda las cocinas compartidas de las viviendas colectivas serí­an el lugar más determinante debido a su complejidad tecnológica y su condición como encrucijada de los acontecimientos sociales y familiares. Esta investigación desarrolla, a partir de las conexiones entre los programas de vivienda en la URSS y Vietnam del Norte, el origen y evolución de estos espacios pasando de ser pulcras manifestaciones de la eficacia estatal a ser intensamente modificados por la vida cotidiana de sus habitantes.

The Flavians and Their Women: Rewriting Neronian Transgressions?
Authors: Ambühl Annemarie
Published: April 2022

The chapter focuses on the role played by the imperial women in the definition
of Flavian vs. Neronian Rome by comparing and contrasting the literary depictions
of the mothers, wives, daughters, and mistresses of the three Flavian
emperors with their Neronian counterparts. However, as these are mostly
retrospective constructions by post-Flavian writers (Pliny the Younger, Tacitus,
Suetonius), the opposition between Flavian and Neronian tends to collapse.
While Vespasian and Titus are characterized as positive figures through
their dealings with women, Domitian is construed as a ‘bad’ emperor like
Nero. In depicting the Flavian emperors’ relations with women, the sources
thus rewrite Neronian transgressions in both senses, by overwriting them
with appropriate behaviour as well as by repeating and perpetuating them.

Assessment of professionalism among undergraduate medical students in Faisalabad: where do we stand?
Authors: Choudry Zafar Ali , Ayub Ayesha , Ehsan Sumera Badar , Tahir Muhammad Munaim
Published: April 2022

Background and Objective: Teaching medical professionalism is considered important for identity formation of healthcare professionals and must be a part of the curriculum at the undergraduate as well as postgraduate levels. Undergraduate students are often ignored in our culture when the question of professionalism comes under discussion and all the importance is usually given to postgraduate students. This study was designed to compare the professionalism among undergraduate medical students of the public and private medical institutes in medical colleges of Faisalabad city, Pakistan.
Methods: It was a cross-sectional comparative study conducted in a public and a private medical institute in Faisalabad from September 2021 to November 2021. A total of 462 undergraduate students were included from both colleges. The modified version of Penn State College of Medicine Professionalism Questionnaire for medical students was used to assess seven domains of professionalism among the students. SPSS 23.0 was used for statistical analysis.

 Results: Response rates of 89.7% and 59.2% were achieved from the public and private medical college respectively. Respect was the highest scored domain among students of the public sector institutes, while equity was the highest scored domain by the private sector medical college (mean = 4.34 ± 0.81 and 3.91 ± 0.99, respectively). The enrichment domain was scored lowest by the students with public and private sector institute (mean = 3.9 ± 0.041 and 3.7 ± 0.055, respectively). There was a significant difference in the domains of professionalism among students based on their years of education (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: The undergraduate medical students at public as well as private sector colleges have positive professional attitudes, especially at the stage of first and the final years of training. The reasons for a declining trend of professionalism during mid-years of medical education among students are yet to be explored.

Published: April 2022

Background and Objective: The use of autologous rectus sheath as a sling to correct uterovaginal prolapse in the younger age group has promising results. As this is an infrequently performed procedure in our country, hence this study aimed to assess the effectiveness of using autologous rectus sheath in young patients presenting with uterovaginal prolapse.
Methods: A prospective study was conducted at Bakhtawar Amin Trust Teaching Hospital in Multan, Pakistan in which 21 female patients who underwent uterine conservation surgery by using autologous rectus sheath during a period of 2 years were included. All these patients were followed up at 1 week and 6 months after surgery for any recurrence or other complications.

Results: The mean age of the patients was 47.09 ± 10.17 years. According to the pelvic organ prolapse quantification classification, 38.1% of patients had first degree, while 61.9% of patients had second-degree prolapse. After surgical correction, only one patient presented with first-degree uterine prolapse during follow-up while no post-surgical complication was reported in the rest of the patients with success rate of the procedure being 97.5%.
Conclusion: Uterine conservation surgery using an autologous rectus sheath as a sling for uterovaginal prolapse is an effective method of surgery and cost-effective technique in women seeking uterine conservation in developing countries.

Dil aracılığıyla üretilen edebî eserler, insanın duygu, düşünce ve hayal dünyasını zenginleştiren sanat eserleridir. İnsanda var olan güzellik duygusunu harekete geçiren bu nitelikteki sanat eserleri varlıklarını her dönem sürdürebilmişlerdir. Sözlü veya yazılı olarak anlatılmış, olgun sanat anlayış ve özelliklere sahip böyle eserlerin yeni kuşaklara tanıtılması kültür ve sanat hayatı bakımından önemlidir. Ebyât-ı Zâdegân adlı eser de gerek biçim gerekse içerik bakımından özgün bir niteliğe sahiptir. Ebyât-ı Zâdegân, sanatkârın şahsi sanat zevkine göre yaptığı seçkilerle oluşan bir bütüncedir. Bu bütünce içinde yer alan beyitler genellikle özgün bazı nükteleri içermektedir. Divan şiirinin güzelliklerinden biri de berceste mısra ya da beyitlerdir. Belirli bir konu, terim veya isim esas alınarak yazılmış “ebyât-ı zâdegân” gibi eserler sanat zevki bakımından önem arz etmektedirler. Divan şairlerinin şiirlerinde kullandıkları ‘zâdegân’ ifadesinin yer aldığı beyitlerin derlenmesinden oluşan bu eser, küçük bir kitapçık hacmindedir. Bu kitapta, zâdegân ifadesi daha çok beyitlerin ikinci mısraının son kelimesi olarak istihdam edilmiştir. Ancak bu kelime, birinci ve ikinci mısra’ fark etmeksizin beyitlerin baş, orta ve sonlarında da kullanılmıştır. Girişte divanların süsü olarak dile getirilen bu ifade, isim, sıfat ve meslek adı gibi özellikleri ile yer almıştır.

Bu ilginç ve anlamlı zâdegân yakıştırmalarının derleyen tarafından bir araya getirilip Vuslat Matbaasında bastırılması, böylece irfan sahiplerinin yararına sunulması, eserde şöyle dile getirilmektedir: ‘… Divan şairlerinin unutulamaya yüz tutmuş zadegân ibareli beyitlerini güzel bir şekilde düzenleyerek elden ele, dilden dile dolaşmaya, gönül eğlendirmeye layık güzel bir tarza ulaştırıp tab’hâne-i vuslatta bastırarak ariflerin zevkine uygun bir kıvama getirmeye karâr virdüm. Daha önceki âşıklar zâdegan beyitlerini basmamışlardır. Bu tür beyitler yayılsın, bilinsin diye baskısını ben yaptırdım, eser olarak yayınlattım.’

Bu eser, Türk edebiyatında benzeri çalışmaların da var oluşunun işaretçisidir. Yüzyıllar boyunca ilim ve medeniyete gönül verenlerin çabalarının sonucu olarak hazırlanan bu tür eserlerin tanınması ve tanıtılması kültür ve sanat insanlarının sorumluğundadır. Divan şiiri üzerine çalışma yapanlar, hatta Türk şiirinin diğer dönemlerine ait çalışma yapanlar daha özel konularda eserlerin varlığını ortaya çıkararak edebiyat dünyamıza katkıda bulunabilirler.

Modelling the impact of anthropogenic measures on saltwater intrusion in the Weser estuary
Authors: Kolb Pia , Zorndt Anna , Burchard Hans , Gräwe Ulf , Kösters Frank
Published: April 2022

Abstract. The Weser estuary has been subject to profound changes in topography in the last hundred years through natural variations and river engineering measures, leading to strong changes in hydrodynamics. These changes are also expected to have affected the dynamics of saltwater intrusion. Using numerical modelling, we examined saltwater intrusion in the Weser estuary in four different system states (1966, 1972, 1981, 2012). Models of each system state were set up with the respective topography and boundary values. The resolution of historical and recent topographical data is usually not comparable, which needs to be compensated, e.g., by calibration of roughness parameters. Therefore, each model was individually calibrated and validated. In simulations of one hydrological year for each system state (hindcasting study), the influence of topography is overshadowed by the effects of other factors, particularly river discharge. At times of identical discharge, results indicate a landward shift of the salinity front between 1966 and 2012. Subsequent simulations with different topographies but identical boundary conditions (scenario study) confirm that topographic changes in the Weser estuary affected saltwater intrusion. Solely through the topography changes, at a discharge of 300 m3 s-1, the position of the tidally averaged and depth-averaged salinity front shifted landwards by about 2.5 km between 1972 and 1981 due to deepening measures in the Lower Weser between these years. It shifted by another 1 km between 1981 and 2012. These changes are significant but comparatively small, since due to seasonal variations in run-off, the tidally averaged salinity intrusion can vary by more than 20 km.
Optimizing co-location calibration periods for low-cost sensors

Published: April 2022

Abstract. Low-cost sensors are often co-located with reference instruments to assess their performance and establish calibration equations, but limited discussion has focused on whether the duration of this calibration period can be optimized. We placed a multipollutant monitor that contained sensors that measure particulate matter smaller than 2.5 mm (PM2.5), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3), and nitric oxide (NO) at a reference field site for one year. We developed calibration equations using randomly co-location subsets spanning 1 to 180 consecutive days out of the 1-year period and compared the potential root mean square errors (RMSE) and Pearson correlation coefficients (r). The co-located calibration period required to obtain consistent results varied by sensor type, and several factors increased the co-location duration required for accurate calibration, including the response of a sensor to environmental factors, such as temperature or relative humidity (RH), or cross-sensitivities to other pollutants. Using measurements from Baltimore, MD, where a broad range of environmental conditions may be observed over a given year, we found diminishing improvements in the median RMSE for calibration periods longer than about six weeks for all the sensors. The best performing calibration periods were the ones that contained a range of environmental conditions similar to those encountered during the evaluation period (i.e., all other days of the year not used in the calibration). With optimal, varying conditions it was possible to obtain an accurate calibration in as little as one week for all sensors, suggesting that co-location can be minimized if the period is strategically selected and monitored so that the calibration period is representative of the desired measurement setting.
Conservation laws in a neural network architecture: enforcing the atom balance of a Julia-based photochemical model (v0.2.0)
Authors: Sturm Patrick Obin , Wexler Anthony S.
Published: April 2022

Abstract. Models of atmospheric phenomena provide insight into
climate, air quality, and meteorology and provide a mechanism for
understanding the effect of future emissions scenarios. To accurately
represent atmospheric phenomena, these models consume vast quantities of
computational resources. Machine learning (ML) techniques such as neural
networks have the potential to emulate computationally intensive components of these
models to reduce their computational burden. However, such ML surrogate
models may lead to nonphysical predictions that are difficult to uncover.
Here we present a neural network architecture that enforces conservation
laws to numerical precision. Instead of simply predicting properties of
interest, a physically interpretable hidden layer within the network
predicts fluxes between properties which are subsequently related to the
properties of interest. This approach is readily generalizable to physical
processes where flux continuity is an essential governing equation. As an
example application, we demonstrate our approach on a neural network
surrogate model of photochemistry, trained to emulate a reference model that
simulates formation and reaction of ozone. We design a physics-constrained
neural network surrogate model of photochemistry using this approach and
find that it conserves atoms as they flow between molecules while
outperforming two other neural network architectures in terms of accuracy,
physical consistency, and non-negativity of concentrations.
Considerations on the immediacy of poetic thought
Authors: Magee Paul
Published: April 2022

Why does poetic verse generate such a heightened sense of immediacy? Aristotle’s discussion of energeia (‘vividness’) in his Rhetoric suggests the effect is attributable to poetry’s reliance upon inherently incomplete devices – metaphor is a prime example – which seduce the reader into participating in the generation of the work. The poem’s vividness and sense of real-time unfolding are on this account due to the reader’s misrecognition of their own sense of embodied temporality, as they creatively raise the work from the page. What this traditional explanation ignores is the possibility that there is something more immediate about the act of writing in lines than in prose in the first place. The paper turns to certain non-Chomskyan linguists who have argued that when speaking we generate our utterance in sub-sentential chunks, and that these typically clausal chunkings are reflective of our extremely narrow window of conscious attention. We simply cannot hold all we would like to say in mind and cannot even grasp quite what verbal form it will take until we actually say it. Revealingly, these linguists tend to lineate their transcripts. Their work suggests that lines of verse bring us closer to an embodied sense of the cognitive constraints contouring real-time utterance than do the multiple recalibrated and revised sentences of prose writers.
My COVID teacher – pedagogy and technology: Frontiers of online teaching in the creative writing classroom
Authors: Vigna John , Michael Rose , Russon Penni
Published: April 2022

This article is an international collaboration of three creative writing tutors detailing our responses and practices in shifting from in-class to online instruction due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are three scholars working at three different institutions (University of British Columbia, RMIT University, and the University of Technology Sydney) across two countries (Canada and Australia). We present collective autoethnographic responses and offer a menu of pedagogical practices for designing courses and teaching creative writing online. While one tutor had sound pedagogical practice in blended teaching, making the transition to online course delivery seamless, two of the tutors had little experience with online teaching and course design so their shift to online teaching was seismic, which led to unexpected creative solutions. Our insights are reflected in our narratives and the personal experiences that we bring into this article. The result, as discussed in this article, demonstrates how sound creative writing pedagogy can be designed for the digital classroom, and perhaps offer a post-pandemic glimpse into the future of creative writing pedagogy. Our article is largely anecdotal – neither comprehensive nor does it collate data beyond our small pool – our aim is to contribute and continue a conversation that has supported us during the pandemic. We have written to one another, with one another, and against one another, trying to articulate how we teach creative writing now, in an effort that others can continue the discussion of what they think and feel, will happen – what is happening – to creative writing teaching at other universities, states and countries, in the transition (temporary and permanent) to considering online teaching and learning as a vital part of our pedagogy going forward.
Creating new climate stories: Posthuman collaborative hope and optimism
Authors: Hennessy Rachel , Cothren Alex , Matthews Amy
Published: April 2022

This paper considers an evolving project about climate change that will explore using collaborative creative writing strategies to emotionally support and engage writers, primarily focusing on how narratives of hope and optimism might counter affective responses of anxiety, and the resultant solipsistic inertia or surrender. We ask: what role could collaborative fiction play in helping to create positive futures that emotionally strengthen us to manage what may come and what already is? We outline the inspiration and background to our project and begin to theorise justification for applying posthuman approaches to the question of reimagining climate fiction. We review a number of collaborative climate change projects located outside of traditional writing but still drawing on narrative storytelling, and consider how our project – which focuses on genre fictions – might add to the horizon point; one that is not delusional, but also does not lead to dystopian despair.
“You have a bad attitude”: Preparing tutors for gender bias in the writing classroom and writing centre through autoethnography and storytelling
Authors: Thomas Susan E.
Published: April 2022

While there is a wealth of professional resources on what to expect in teaching writing (McLeod, 2007; Adler-Kassner & Wardle 2015; Malenczyk, 2016; Rose & Weiser, 1999, 2002, 2010), how to navigate gender bias in the writing classroom and writing centre conference has received less scholarly attention, especially in Australia. Since the emotional turn in writing studies, the place of emotion (Micciche, 2016, 2007, 2002) and the need for resilience training in the preparation of writing instructors (Moore, 2018; Wooten et al, 2020) have been well-documented. However, less well-documented are the potential effects of gender discrimination on the emotional wellbeing and career progression of women in an unprecedented mental health “epidemic” in higher education (Weale 2019). This article recommends storytelling and autoethnography as powerful qualitative methods for helping women process and document their own experiences of gender discrimination, learn from the experiences of others and devise strategies for resilience and self-care – and for helping male colleagues to become better allies.
Social responsibility in reducing food losses and waste in the Slovak Republic: the role of policies – the responsibility of all
Authors: Medveďová Mária , Kapsdorferová Zuzana , Švikruhová Petronela , Zábojníková Veronika
Published: April 2022

The study aimed to point out the calls of the European Commission to the social responsibility of the solution of food losses and waste, to evaluate the current state of the researched issues in the Slovak Republic, to point out the trends, and propose measures to improve the situation of the food losses and waste on the poultry meat market in the Slovak Republic. The scientific hypotheses were established. A questionnaire survey was used to obtain primary data. The research object was households and agricultural enterprises of broiler chicken farming (poultry farms) in the Slovak Republic. Data from questionnaires completed by households and poultry farms were examined and processed by the sorting method. Cumulative totals, intervals, and percentage ranges were calculated in each response class. The obtained data for individual objects of research were processed by sorting using Microsoft Word tables – Excel, Office 2016. The chi-square test (χ2 test) with a contingency table according to the procedure of Social Science Statistics was chosen for hypothesis testing. The SAS program was used for statistical evaluation of the results and answers of the respondents from the questionnaires.  The research shows that food losses in Slovak households were up to 40% and on poultry farms at 6.8%. Mould and rot were the most common causes of food degradation.  Mortality during breed has been recorded as a cause of food waste in poultry farms. A statistically significant difference (p ≤0.001) was found in the quantity of food losses between gross household income per family member and month. Statistically, no significant difference (p ˃0.05) was found between the numbers of family members. The proposals were recommended to improve the solution of reducing food losses and food waste in households and poultry farms. Based on the application of a practical approach of households and poultry farms to reduce food losses and support innovative solutions, it is possible to achieve gentle practices in ensuring the security of nutrition, food production, social and economic sustainability as well as environmental protection in the Slovak Republic.
Economic Downturn, Change in Unemployment, and the Midwest: A Quantile Regression Approach
Authors: Arano Kathleen G. , Srinivasan Arun K.
Published: April 2022

Although every area of the U.S. was hit by the Great Recession, the change in unemployment rates varied widely across locations. We use a quantile regression approach to examine the tails of the

distribution of change in unemployment rates between 2006 and 2009 across all counties in the Midwest. We find consistent evidence that manufacturing was the largest contributor to the change in unemployment across the three conditional distributions examined, with the impact increasing as we move from the 25th quantile to the mean (OLS) and 75th quantile. Likewise, local labor mobility has amplifying effects on the

change in unemployment rates, while educational attainment has a moderating effect. Our results suggest that human capital and location-and industry-targeted policies are important in promoting recession-resilient local economies.
The Social and Economic Factors Underlying the Incidence of COVID-19 Cases and Deaths in US Counties During the Initial Outbreak Phase
Authors: Mukherji Nivedita
Published: April 2022

This paper uncovers the socioeconomic and health/lifestyle factors that can explain the differential impact of the coronavirus pandemic on different parts of the United States during the initial outbreak phase of the pandemic. Using a dynamic panel representation of an epidemiological model of disease spread, the paper develops a Vulnerability Index for US counties from the daily reported number of cases over a 20-day period of rapid disease growth. County-level economic, demographic, and health factors are used to explain the differences in the values of this index and thereby the transmission and concentration of the disease across the country. These factors are also used to examine the number of reported deaths. The paper finds that counties with high median income have a high incidence of cases but reported lower deaths. Income inequality, as measured by the Gini coefficient, is found to be associated with more deaths and more cases. The remarkable similarity in the distribution of cases across the country and the distribution of distance-weighted international passengers served by the top international airports is evidence of the spread of the virus by way of international travel. The distributions of age, race and health risk factors such as obesity and diabetes are found to be particularly significant factors in explaining the differences in mortality across counties. Counties with better access to health care, as measured by the number of primary care physicians per capita, have lower deaths, and so do places with more health awareness as measured by flu vaccination prevalence. Environmental health conditions such as the amount of air pollution are found to be associated with counties with higher deaths from the virus. It is hoped that research such as these will help policymakers to develop risk factors for each region of the country to better contain the spread of infectious diseases in the future.

In this work, the gas sensing properties of the non-planar heterostructures based on CuO thin films, grown by the direct ink writing and covered with an ultrathin Al2O3 layer, are presented as a function of the operating temperature. The obtained results demonstrates the excellent selectivity to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) vapors, namely n-butanol and 2-propanol in a operating temperature range of 200 – 350 ºC. The relatively low gas response was observed at room temperature, which is very important for low-power operation. The dynamic gas response showed an ultra-fast response time of 2 – 3 s. The obtained results demonstrates the excellent potential of nonplanar heterostructures based on metal oxides for use in high-performance environmental monitoring applications.
Thermoelectric Properties of a p-n Module Based on TTT2I3 and TTT(TCNQ)2 Organic Crystals
Authors:   Technical University of Moldova, Sanduleac Ionel
Published: April 2022

In this paper the thermoelectric properties of p – n thermoelectric module of organic nanostructured crystals is investigated. A thermoelectric module (TM) is a device designed for direct conversion of heat to electricity or for cooling effect by applying a small electrical current at the pairs legs. TMs are embedded in a various of devices: thermal generators for energy harvesting at industrial scale, personalized mini devices for power generation or local cooling effect for integrated circuits. In modern medical devices, TMs are used for accurate temperature control in PCR (polymerase chain reaction), biological samples and vaccines transportation, continuous temperature monitoring and others. However, most commercialized TMs nowadays are made of inorganic compounds with a low rate of energy conversion. By the other side, organic materials are more reliable, flexible with a higher efficiency at low temperature gradients. Earlier, it was established theoretically that organic crystals of TTT2I3 of p – type and TTT(TCNQ)2 of n– type are very prospective materials for thermoelectric applications at near-to-room temperature. For temperatures not exceeding ~ 400 K, it is expected that crystals properties will not change significantly. The charge transport and thermoelectric properties are predicted to significantly enhance by some manipulations with carrier and impurity concentrations. In the following, the electrical conductivity, the output voltage, and the maximum power factor of a p-n module made of these crystals is calculated numerically for different combinations of crystals parameters and temperature gradients.
REDUCTION OF AIR DUST OF THE WORK ZONE AT WOODWORKING ENTERPRISES
Authors: Madani Mariia
Published: April 2022

The assessment of air dust at the workplaces of the woodworking enterprise was carried out. It was found that the dust in the workplace exceeds the established standard MPC for wood dust by an average of 1.3…2.5 times. The most unfavorable working conditions are observed at the workplaces of grinding and belt machine operators, where the dust concentration reaches 5.7 MPC.

The processes of spreading and settling of dust in production facilities have been studied. It is established that regardless of the wood species, the change in the dust content of the working area and the density of dust in the production premises at different distances from the sources of dust removal is subject to the exponential law. Experimental dependences characterizing these changes are obtained.

Existing aspiration systems were examined. The discrepancy between the volumes of air removed from the equipment and the design value has been established, which leads to the removal of dust into the air of the work area and causes increased dust in the workplace. Examination of aspiration systems showed that the reason for their unstable operation is the presence of dust deposits on the inner surfaces of horizontal air ducts.
