Dispositivo municionador de fusil Galil 5,56 mm usado por la fuerza pública en Colombia
Authors: López Duque Nicole Daniela , Tibaduiza Niño Antoni Santiago
Published: January 2023

El Fusil Galil AR 5.56, ha estado estrechamente ligado a la historia reciente y evolución de las Fuerzas Militares de Colombia, y, por ende, de la Fuerza Aérea Colombiana. Es así como, en el caso de la Escuela Militar de Aviación “Marco Fidel Suárez”, es el fusil de dotación de todos los Cadetes. Teniendo en cuenta la importancia de esta arma como parte fundamental de la dotación o equipamiento, resulta normal que su integración a la rutina de los Cadetes despierte interés frente a cómo mejorar algunos procesos que se realizan y en los cuales este elemento juega un papel protagónico. Surgió la inquietud frente a la forma en que se podría mejorar la eficiencia del proceso de municionado del proveedor o cargador del Fusil Galil AR 5.56. Actualmente, en Colombia no hay un dispositivo tecnológico que apoye en la función de municionar el armamento, disminuyendo los tiempos muertos y acelerando la preparación de fusiles que disminuya el tiempo de municionamiento en un 40%. Se propone como solución el diseño de un dispositivo municionador semiautomático que permita realizar la carga del proveedor, disponiendo de un anteproyecto conformado en su primera parte por la definición del problema de investigación desde su planteamiento, su formulación y su sistematización; así mismo, se presentan los aspectos que la justifican y los objetivos que se buscan desarrollar; seguidamente se presenta el marco de referencia, en donde se abordan algunas investigaciones que se constituyen en antecedentes del presente trabajo, las teorías desde las cuales deben comprenderse los resultados y la legislación que delimita las acciones de los investigadores respecto al tema central de investigación, para luego presentar los lineamientos metodológicos tenidos en cuenta para la recolección, tratamiento y análisis de los datos y su posterior uso en el desarrollo de los resultados.

SantotoMove es una aplicación que facilitará el transporte entre la comunidad Tomasina, por lo tanto, fueron varios los factores que nos llevaron a plantear este proyecto, por un lado, la reducción de costos para los pasajeros del servicio, pues obtendrán un precio más económico que el prestado por el servicio público, igualmente la seguridad a la hora de trasladarse de la universidad a su vivienda o viceversa, pues tendrán la confianza que viajaran en un medio de transporte seguro, ya que todos los conductores serán miembros de la comunidad estudiantil tomasina, esto hará tanto para el conductor como para el pasajero incrementar su seguridad y evitar así la exposición a situaciones de peligro como robos. Igualmente optimizar el tiempo de traslado de un lugar a otro, pues en algunas horas del día, se hace difícil, para los usuarios del transporte público usar dicho servicio, ya que en determinadas horas del día este se satura ocasionando retrasos con el cumplimiento de las obligaciones diarias. Por otro lado, las personas prestadoras del servicio generarían ingresos extra para cubrir gastos como: peajes, gasolina y parqueadero. Esto no se trata de que los usuarios dueños, del vehículo, tengan que salirse de su ruta cotidiana, al contrario, se trata de aprovechar al máximo dicho recorrido, para que preste el servicio a aquellos estudiantes que no cuentan con transporte y que requieran movilizarse por la misma ruta. Otro factor a tener en cuenta, es el hecho de contribuir a la protección del medio ambiente, ya que, al aprovechar los espacios dentro del vehículo, ayudamos a controlar en cierta medida la emisión de gases contaminantes emitidos innecesariamente provocados por una persona en un solo vehículo, optimizando la utilización de este. SantotoMove es una aplicación móvil la cual tiene como principal objetivo facilitar la movilidad de los integrantes, ya sean, estudiantes, docentes, administrativos, entre otros, que hagan parte de la Universidad Santo Tomás seccional Tunja. Esto a través del uso del parque automotor de la comunidad Tomasina (vehículos y motocicletas).Luego de argumentar la necesidad de crear la App, Santoto Move, explicaremos su funcionamiento, primero, se debe tener en cuenta, que las personas que estén dispuestas a usar esta aplicación, tanto conductores como pasajeros, deben ingresar los datos personales y evidenciar su vinculación con la universidad (carnet activo de la Institución, y papeles al día del vehículo). Una vez verificados los datos, las personas que presten el servicio deben marcar las rutas, horarios y precios que están dispuestos a ofrecer y los usuarios podrán buscar y seleccionar la opción que más les favorezca.

El proyecto WINDOOR SECURITY desarrollado en el semillero STEAM de la fundación universitaria Compensar, es un estudio exploratorio y multidisciplinar adelantado por estudiantes de ingeniería de software e ingeniería en telecomunicaciones, que busca aplicar la tecnología IOT para impactar la seguridad en propiedades privadas, extendiendo así su marco de aplicación a casas, apartamentos y oficinas. El nombre del proyecto surge de la identificación de puertas y ventanas como los puntos de acceso común que requieren monitoreo en toda edificación, por tanto, el sistema de censado y seguridad, se centró en ventanas (Windows) y puertas (door), que al combinarlos se obtiene la solución propuesta Windoor security. El sistema consta de dos grandes bloques, la aplicación web (componente Software) y una red de sensores y actuadores wifi (Componente Hardware) La aplicación web desarrollada en Node JS, partió de la identificación de los requerimientos funcionales y no funcionales de las necesidades de los roles de administrador, usuario privilegiado y usuario general, sobre la base de estos roles, se generaron “objetos” de monitoreo, que el administrador puede instanciar de forma visual para dar lugar a configuraciones personalizadas del sistema con diferente cantidad de sensores y alarmas, a los cuales se asignan eventos y sistemas de alerta, a su vez, el administrador puede invitar y gestionar los diferentes tipos de usuario y su accesibilidad a los diferentes objetos de censado Los ámbitos de vista y controlador se separaron en capas diferentes, que interactúan mediante API Restfull, para dar flexibilidad a la arquitectura backend y frontend del sistema. El acceso a la red de sensores físicos se realiza mediante websocket, permitiendo a cada nodo de censado obtener su configuración desde el aplicativo web y reportar su estado y monitoreo continuo. Red de sensores y actuadores Como concentrador de los nodos de censado se emplea un Arduino principal que gestiona otros nodos esclavos mediante comunicación I2C, que permiten extender la cantidad de nodos conectados al mismo. cada nodo reporta el estado de puertas o ventanas y permite el control y cerrado automática de estos puntos de ventilación y acceso, como plataforma de pruebas y validación se realizó una maqueta en escala 20:1, sobre la cual se supervisa el estado con sensores magnéticos de proximidad y se acciona la apertura o cierre mediante motores DC y un sistema de acople mecánico a la ventana. La integración de esta red de sensores al sistema completo se realiza vía wifi con protocolo web socket. En general durante la ruta de desarrollo de este proyecto se consideraron los siguientes hitos de avance: Elaborar levantamiento de los requerimientos funcionales y no funcionales Diseñar la arquitectura a utilizar para el aplicativo Codificar la aplicación Elaborar prototipo del circuito cerrado. Desarrollar el circuito electrónico que permita monitorear en tiempo real el estado de los accesos.
Pastas de arcilla roja para manufactura aditiva por extrusión
Authors: Agudelo Isabel Cristina
Published: January 2023

En Colombia las arcillas rojas son un recurso abundante cuya explotación minera está principalmente orientada a abastecer de materia prima a las empresas fabricantes de productos de construcción. Explorar nuevos escenarios de aplicación de estos materiales requiere identificar las tendencias tecnológicas más importantes de fabricación digital como es el caso de la manufactura aditiva (MA) que constituye un conjunto de técnicas alternativas o complementarias a métodos de producción convencionales. Tal es el caso de la manufactura aditiva por extrusión (MAE) donde los objetos se construyen mediante el paso a través de una boquilla de una pasta pseudoplástica y la deposición sucesiva de capas. Gracias a las propiedades de flujo que se pueden desarrollar en las pastas basadas en arcilla, resultan muy apropiadas para la aplicación de esta técnica. Debido a esto es posible identificar numerosos proyectos exploratorios que hacen uso de estos materiales para la construcción de estructuras impresas. A través de esta investigación se busca identificar las relaciones entre la composición de las arcillas, granulometría, fracción de sólidos de las pastas de arcilla roja y sus propiedades reológicas durante la fabricación aditiva basada en extrusión (EAM).

Published: January 2023

Employees have resigned from well-paid organization due to the leadership style of their managers. This study examined the effect of leadership style on employees’ satisfaction in selected small and medium scale enterprises in Delta State, Nigeria. Sixty copies of questionnaires were distributed of which fifty-one were returned and used for this analysis. This survey instrument was adapted from both the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) which measures transactional and transformational leadership style and the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) which measures employee satisfaction. The study used STATA 13.0 statistical package. The results showed a positive and statistically significant relationship between employees’ satisfaction and leadership style when independent samples were treated separately (simple regression). However, when multiple regression models were applied, both results report positive relationship, but transactional leadership style now becomes statistically insignificant. It is recommended among other things that managing directors should select the right style of leadership that enhances their worker’s productivity and motivation.

Published: January 2023

This research looks at the correlation between employees' overall job performance, productivity, trainability, job happiness,organisational commitment with E-learning based training methods. E-learning has made it possible for organisations to completely re-engineer the training process, while also realising the many benefits that e- learning offers. The growth of any country requires the promotion of e-learning activities. People are concerned about the rapid expansion and educational progress in today's society. If a plan is made, then the desired outcomes are sure to follow. HR and learning and development Managers at all levels of the corporate hierarchy are always seeking new and more economical methods of educating the staff members. Although more expensive than classroom education, e-learning is also less expensive in the longer run. Additional expenditures, like as training facilities and travel fees for workers or trainers, are significantly decreased by using e-learning methods in conjunctions with traditional trainings. Although this is true, one instructional approach that remains here to stay is e-learning, which teaches people required information, skills, and attitudes. How it is developed, administered, and assessed will determine how effective it is, as well as how viable it is. This Research paper takes a detailed look at current condition of e-learning in India’s Corporate Sector. We analyse the efficacy of e-learning by analysing the literature that addresses the consequences of e-learning.

Published: January 2023

Scientific investigations of medicinal plants have been initiated in many parts of our country because of their contribution to health care. The medicinal properties of plants are due to the presence of phytochemicals. The phytochemicals have anti-oxidant and anti-microbial properties. The resistance to antibiotics by bacteria is increasingly becoming a concern to public health. Currently used antibiotic agents fail to bring an end to many bacterial infections due to super-resistant strains. Medicinal plants represent a rich source of antimicrobial agents from which new drugs can be obtained. The phytochemical constituents of plants are desirable, not only for the discovery of therapeutic agents, but also because such information may be of value in disclosing new sources. The present study has been carried out on the phytochemical, anti- oxidant and anti-bacterial character of aerial plant parts of Pergularia daemia. The phytochemical result shows that the flavonoids, phenols and tannins were present abundantly in the Ethanolic extracts of aerial plant parts. Both total phenol and tannins are high in ethanolic extract. The antioxidant activity of the plant was done by using DPPH radical scavenging assay. The antimicrobial activity of ethanolic extract of Pergularia daemia aerial plant parts was tested against Klebsiella pneumoniae and Citrobacter freundii.

Odwieczny model dziejów Rosji
Authors: Kaźmierczyk Zbigniew
Published: January 2023

The eternal model of Russia’s historyThe article discusses a dual model of the history of Russia presented in the speeches of Polish Romantics included in the Russian studies texts of the following epochs and in the works of Russian authors, e.g. Yuri Lotman and Boris Uspensky. The author proves that the Gnostic-Manichaean influence on the religiousness of Russians is the source of their accumulation of rebellion against the world and the human fate predicted in it. This rebellion on the basis of a radical anti-world dualism gives rise to the destructive desires of Russians, which explode in various forms of historical destruction. They push the Russians into wars, partitions, revolutions and invasions.

Published: January 2023

Background/Aim: The prevalence of hypertension increases with age and one out of every three adults over the age of 40 has hypertension. Hypertensive end-organ damage is an important predictive factor for patient morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to investigate the role of the renal resistive index (RI) in predicting retinopathy and nephropathy in hypertensive patients.
Methods: This study was cross-sectional in design. Sixty hypertensive patients who were followed in Samsun Research and Training Hospital Internal Medicine outpatient clinic were included in the study. In all patients, a routine ophthalmological examination, including visual acuity, anterior segment examination, and dilated ocular fundus examination, was performed. Urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (mg/g) was measured in spot urine samples, and a level ≥30 mg/g was accepted as the presence of proteinuria. Renal Doppler ultrasonography was performed using Esaote mylab x 9 model sonography device vovex probe (C1-8) 3.5 MHz. RI values were measured using Xflow Doppler at the level of interlobular or arcuate arteries of both kidneys. First, the patients were divided into two groups (with or without retinopathy). The patients who had retinopathy were then divided into two groups according to their retinopathy degree. Hypertensive retinopathy was graded according to the Scheie classification. The patients were also divided into two groups according to their proteinuria status (with or without proteinuria).
Results: The mean of renal RI was 0.59 (0.04) in patients without retinopathy (n=15), 0.63 (0.05) in patients with grade 1 hypertensive retinopathy (n=29), and 0.66 (0.04) in patients with grade 2 hypertensive retinopathy (n=15). The difference between groups was statistically significant (overall P=0.001). It has been shown that proteinuria develops more frequently in cases in which the renal value is above 0.7, and these results were statistically significant (P=0.034). 
Conclusion: This study indicates that renal RI increase is a valuable tool for estimating retinopathy and proteinuria in hypertensive patients.

Published: January 2023

The potency of the Indonesian Tropical Forest, particularly in Kalimantan, has been shrinkage year by year. Selective Cutting and Line Planting System (SCLP) is expected to increase the productivity of the tropical forest.   This study aims to analyze the growth and diameter increment of Dipterocarpaceae stand planted in West-East (W-E) and North-South (N-S) planting direction on SCLP at concession area of PT. Intracawood Manufacturing, Bulungan District, North Kalimantan, Indonesia. Growth and diameter increment data of Dipterocarpaceae was obtained by field measurement in 4 (four) permanent plots sized 100 m x 100 m with W-E and N-S directions. The study revealed that the largest growth and average diameter increment on a five-year-old stand is Shorea parvifolia with planting direction of W-E about 8,5 cm and 1,92 cm/yr. In contrast, the smallest is Dryobalanops lanceolata with N-S planting direction about 4,6 cm and 0,99 cm/yr. Planting line direction does not influence diameter increment.  It is due to the stand position in the spacing line as an ex-cutting area or the right and left-hand sides of the planting line with low density and low average stand height (17,62 m).  Therefore, the light intensity on the N-S planting line direction has no barrier of spacing line stand.

Keywords: Increment, Light Intensity, Planting Line Direction

Authors: Odisu Teddy , Okieimen Charity
Published: January 2023

In water, oil spill constitutes serious environmental concern. When impacted water is flowing, it can be self-cleansed by waves. Turbulent water bodies have attracted huge research attention with many models available. However, it becomes different with non-turbulent and stagnant water as in the case with mangrove swamps. This paper reports the development of mathematical models for monitoring transport and diffusion phenomena of aromatics through water column using equations of transport and mass transfer. The models were validated using results from a simulated stagnant water polluted with crude oil. From the result, aromatics transported through water at 0.25 m and 1 m for month 1 is 12.988 µg/l and 0.081 µg/l for experiment and 9.215 µg/l, and 0.0781 µg/l for model, respectively. While month 5, was 48.982 µg/l and 1.890 µg/l for experiment and 39.850 µg/l and 1.650 µg/l for model, respectively. These and others reported show that the models can adequately predict the transport of aromatics through such water body.
