Reliability-based Assessment of the Structural Integrity of some Existing Reinforced Concrete Columns
Authors: Akingbonmire Samuel Lambe , Afolayan Joseph Olaseinde
Published: August 2024

Abnormal loading can initiate the progressive collapse of a reinforced concrete building. A progressive collapse may start as a local failure, followed by a sequence of reactions leading to a massive portion failure of an entire structure. Reinforced concrete columns are significant structural elements in ascertaining the integrity of framed buildings. This paper presents the report on the structural integrity of reinforced concrete columns of two selected university buildings labelled A and B investigated by using non-destructive testing techniques. First-Order Reliability Method (FORM) was deployed to process the data from the field in order to generate the implied safety indices for all accessed columns in the two buildings. The computed safety indices decrease as the simulated designed practical axial loads/moments increase for all the assumed steel ratios (0.4%, 1.59% and 6%) based on BS 8110:1997:1. When compared with the target safety level of 3.8 according to BS EN 1990:2002+A1:2005 for 50 years reference period of Class RC2 structural members in the ultimate limit state, almost all the columns passed the reliability test except the columns labelled 71 in building A; and C81A and C85 for building B. The highlighted critical columns show the direction for immediate repairs to forestall the initiation of eventual progressive failure of the buildings.

The main direction is to dye fabrics using natural dyes with the aid of mordants. In recent years, the technology of biological mordant dyeing with natural dyes has become a research hotspot. This paper first discusses in detail the application of biological mordant technology with natural dyes on various types of dyed fabrics, including plant fibers, animal fibers, and synthetic fibers. It then introduces the application of biological mordant dyeing with natural dyes in fields such as antibacterial and ultraviolet protection. By comparing the environmental impact and effectiveness of metal mordants versus biological mordants on dyed fabrics, the most suitable mordant is identified. Finally, the paper provides an outlook on the optimization of the dyeing process, in-depth exploration of mechanisms, rational selection of resources, and functional application trends of biological mordant technology with natural dyes, aiming to provide a reference for research directions in this field.
Fault diagnosis of railway freight car rolling bearings based on ACMD and improved MCKD
Authors: Tang Wuchu , Jia Zhenlin , Lai Dongmei
Published: August 2024

To address the issue of accurately extracting fault characteristic information of railway freight car bearings under noisy conditions, this paper proposes a fault diagnosis method based on Adaptive Chirp Mode Decomposition (ACMD) and an optimized Maximum Correlation Kurtosis Deconvolution (MCKD) using a Sparrow Search Algorithm Combining Sine-Cosine and Cauchy Mutation (SCSSA). Firstly, ACMD is used to decompose and reconstruct the original fault signal to obtain several Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs). Then, the IMFs are filtered according to the Gini coefficient indicator, with the IMF having the largest Gini coefficient selected as the optimal component. Secondly, the SCSSA is employed to iteratively optimize the filter length L, fault signal period T, and displacement parameter M in the MCKD algorithm, determining the optimal parameter combination for MCKD. This avoids the limitations of manual settings and enhances the accuracy of fault diagnosis. The optimized MCKD is then applied to the optimal component, and deconvolution is performed using maximum correlation kurtosis as the criterion to extract fault characteristic information through its envelope spectrum. To verify the effectiveness and generalizability of the proposed method, simulations, experimental signals from the Case Western Reserve University Bearing Center, and actual measured signals from railway freight car bearing 353130B are used to analyze inner ring faults. The experimental results demonstrate that the method can accurately extract fault characteristic information of railway freight car bearings under noise interference and identify the fault type.

Authors: Fazlic Mersiha , Poparic Selma , Camdzic Nina , Vlahovljak Suada , Babic Mirsad , Halilovic Emina
Published: August 2024

Background: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common nonmelanoma skin cancer. Although there has been a noticeable increase in incidence over the last decades, the exact incidence is difficult to establish, because data and cancer registries are heterogeneous among countries. Objective: The study aimed to analyze the recent clinical trends of basal cell carcinoma by reviewing a six-year single institution’s experience. Methods: A total number of 582 patients with histologically diagnosed BCC were included in the study. All relevant data were collected from medical records and patients, using short questionnaire. Results: BCC was slightly more common among the male population with female to male ratio of 1:1.24. At the time of diagnosis, male patients were statistically significantly older (70.47±11.9 years) compared to female patients (67.64±12.22 years) (p=0.005). The most common types of BCC were nodular (51.64%) and superficial (25.95%), affecting most commonly the head and neck region (71.2%). Relative risk (RR) for development of BCC is 2.79 times higher in sun-exposed skin areas (p<0.001). Conclusion: Sun exposure remains one of the most important risk factors for the development of BCC, with episodes of sunburns, occupational and recreational risks noted among the majority of patients. Although non-fatal disease, due to morbidity and high frequency, prevention and early diagnosis are important to prevent further increase in the incidence of BCC among the population.

Hepatoprotective Effects of Dayak Onion (Eleutherine palmifolia) Extract on SGOT and SGPT Enzyme Activity in Mice (Mus musculus) Following Chronic Dose Administration of Monosodium Glutamate
Authors: Rahmatullah Aldin
Published: August 2024

This study aimed to explore the liver-protecting properties of Dayak onion (Eleutherine palmifolia) extract in mice exposed to chronic doses of monosodium glutamate (MSG). The research involved 25 male mice, each about 11 weeks old and weighing around 20 grams. These mice were divided into five groups for different treatments. The control group (C-) received only a harmless substance, while the positive control group (C+) was given MSG at 4 mg per gram of body weight. The three treatment groups (T1, T2, and T3) received the same amount of MSG along with varying doses of Dayak onion extract: 30, 60, and 120 mg per kilogram of body weight, respectively. The experiment ran for 52 days. On the 53rd day, the researchers humanely euthanized the mice and collected blood samples directly from their hearts. This blood was used to measure the activity of two important liver enzymes: SGOT and SGPT. The results showed a significant difference in enzyme activity between the MSG-only group and the control group. Interestingly, in the groups treated with Dayak onion extract, the enzyme activity decreased as the extract dose increased. This suggests that the extract was counteracting the harmful effects of MSG on the liver. The researchers concluded that Dayak onion extract demonstrated protective effects on the liver in mice exposed to chronic doses of MSG. The most effective dose of Dayak onion extract was found to be 120 mg per kilogram of body weight. This study provides valuable insights into the potential of Dayak onion extract as a natural remedy for liver damage caused by MSG consumption, opening avenues for further research in this area.
Balancing the highs and lows

Published: August 2024

The first aim of this thesis was to expand our knowledge on the diagnostics and assessment methods in OABD. With this aim, we first examined whether different depression scales can be harmonized in order to create larger datasets. Then, we examined the reliability and validity of the Functioning Assessment Short Test (FAST) for Older adults (FAST-O). Next, we compared cognitive functioning in OABD with cognitive functioning in late life depression and healthy controls. The second aim of our thesis was to create a greater understanding of the clinical phenotype in OABD and its mutual interactions. For this aim, we first examined the relationship between cognitive and social functioning in OABD. Thereafter, we studied the influence of social, psychological and cognitive factors on the clinical course in OABD. Next, we studied psychiatric symptoms during the COVID-19 outbreak in OABD and at last, we studied the course of these psychiatric symptoms in OABD during the first 6 months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our third aim was to assess the feasibility and acceptability of new treatment approaches in OABD. We first examined a group intervention for mild cognitive impairment in OABD and thereafter we studied an intervention of group interpersonal and social rhythm therapy (IPSRT) for recurrent mood disorders.
All in all, this thesis shows the population of OABD is a distinct and complex group. However, with the appropriate adjustments, currently existing diagnostic instruments and treatment strategies can be adapted in order to be used in the OABD group. There is still a lot unknown in the OABD group, but results show that progress can be gained in this field of research. Since OABD patients show great variability in clinical phenotype, it is always important to not blindly follow findings from treatment studies or guidelines and to try to never lose sight of the individual patient.

Published: August 2024

Para avaliar e planejar dietas para indivíduos e grupos populacionais é necessário a utilização de equações preditivas acuradas para avaliação das necessidades energéticas e do consumo de energia. O objetivo desse trabalho foi realizar uma análise das necessidades energéticas de estudantes do sexo feminino do curso de Nutrição da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria – Campus Palmeira das Missões, por meio de diferentes equações disponibilizadas na literatura para determinação do gasto energético total de adultos e correlacionando os valores encontrados com a equação da FAO (1985). Neste estudo foram utilizadas as equações de Harris e Benedict (1918), Fundação das Nações Unidas para a Agricultura e Alimentação (World Health Organization, 1985), Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI’S, 2002), Henry e Rees (1991), Fórmula de bolso (Broca, 2008) e uma equação adaptada pelo autor denominada ASB. As necessidades energéticas estimadas pela equação das DRI´s subestimam em torno de 78,6% a equação da FAO. Já a equação de Harris e Benedict apresenta este mesmo percentual superestimando os valores. Com relação à equação de Henry e Rees, observa-se que esta apresenta valores de GER próximos aos encontrados na FAO. Observou-se que as melhores correlações foram entre as equações da FAO e a elaborada pelos autores, denominada ASB (R: 0,915) e entre FAO e DRI (R: 0,890). As equações da FAO, ASB e DRI´s podem ser adequadas no cálculo das necessidades energéticas e que ao se utilizar o fator atividade da FAO, a equação de Henry e Rees se aproxima ao valor encontrado nas mesmas.

This research is based on the importance of finding crosslinking agents that are environmentally friendly and able to improve the performance of the interfacial area between natural fibers and their polymer matrix. Poly(lactic acid) PLA composites containing 20 wt.% abaca (Musa Textilis) fibers were manufactured by injection molding. The composite specimens contained surface-modified abaca fibers with 5 wt.% glutaraldehyde (GA) as a cross-linking agent were examined in this experiment. The SEM was applied to assess the morphological surface of the abaca fibers, while FTIR analysis was performed to investigate the chemical components of abaca fibers. The mechanical characteristics of the PLA/Abaca fiber biocomposites were examined using flexural, tensile, and Izod impact tests. The results confirmed that the modulus of elasticity and Young’s modulus were observed to increase by 40% and 37% respectively. Meanwhile the tensile strength and the flexural strength increased by 26% and 15% respectively. PLA/Abaca fiber biocomposite that had been treated with glutaraldehyde had better mechanical qualities than pure PLA biocomposite.

The present study was carried out to develop composites using waste castor bean shell (CBS) as a filler and epoxy resin as a matrix. The composites were produced by varying the weight fractions of filler in the range of 5 to 35 wt%. The effects of castor bean shell filler weight percentages (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35) on the tensile, flexural, impact and hardness properties of the epoxy/castor bean shell composites were evaluated using universal testing machine, hardness tester and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The study revealed that the tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural strength and impact strength increased with the increasing of the castor bean shell filler content. The highest tensile, flexural and impact properties of the CBS loaded epoxy composite were achieved at a filler content of 15wt%. The hardness increased with the increasing of the castor bean shell filler content. The water absorption and the thickness swelling increased with the increasing of the castor bean shell filler content. The swelling rates of the castor bean shell-epoxy polymer matrix composites are low during the initial stages of moisture absorption due to the visco-elasticity of the polymer matrix. The density decreased with the increasing of the castor bean shell filler content. SEM showed improved interfacial adhesion of the castor bean shell filler-epoxy resin matrix at 15wt% CBS content. The study has shown that castor bean shell filler is a viable reinforcement for manufacturing green composites from the viewpoint of their physical and mechanical properties.

The primary motivation for this study was the inadequate ability of students at SMK Negeri 1 Jatibarang Indramayu to analyze anecdotal texts and the challenges faced by teachers in developing effective learning models. The objectives of the research were to assess the effectiveness of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model in teaching Grade X students how to analyze anecdotal texts and to outline the learning process. The study employed an experimental approach with a nonequivalent control group design. The research population consisted of all Grade X students, with Grade X AKL 1 (20 students) as the control group and Grade X AKL 2 (20 students) as the experimental group, selected through purposive sampling. Data collection involved written tests and observations. The t-test results revealed a t-value of 4.727, surpassing the t-table value of 2.024, indicating the acceptance of Ha and the rejection of Ho. This suggests that the Contextual Teaching and Learning model is effective in teaching the analysis of anecdotal texts. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Contextual Teaching and Learning model is successfully implemented in teaching Grade X students at SMK Negeri 1 Jatibarang during the 2022/2023 academic year. The analysis of observation data further demonstrates that the application of the Contextual Teaching and Learning model enhances student engagement in the process of analyzing anecdotal texts for Grade X students at SMK Negeri 1 Jatibarang Indramayu in the 2022/2023 academic year.

Senam merupakan olahraga yang populer di kalangan masyarakat umum. Pengenalan dan pemasyarakatan senam sebagai olahraga sangat bergantung pada jenis sosialisasi ini. Meski menginginkan senam yang sesuai dengan kegemarannya, namun para mahasiswa kurang bersemangat mengikuti aktivitas. Mahasiswa FIKK UNM merupakan salah satu kelompok yang banyak menyelenggarakan senam, namun yang dilakukan dalam proses perkuliahan berupa senam lantai dan senam aerobik. Solusi yang disarankan adalah dengan memberikan pelatihan kepada mahasiswa FIKK UNM mengenai kegiatan menyehatkan jantung. Efek akhirnya adalah mahasiswa dapat melakukan aktivitas fisik melalui rutinitas yang menyehatkan jantung. Selain ceramah, demonstrasi, dan praktik individu, kegiatan PKM pada mahasiswa FIKK UNM dilaksanakan oleh tim dosen FIKK UNM, selain itu juga dilakukan simulasi senam. Melalui pengabdian ini, pengetahuan dan kemampuan mahasiswa FIKK UNM mengenai senam jantung sehat semakin meningkat. Hal ini juga berpengaruh terhadap minat mahasiswa FIKK UNM  terhadap senam berirama.
