Optimization of a handheld line launcher for microgravity utility and rescue tasks
Authors: LaRocco John
Published: December 2024

Line launchers are devices that have been used for centuries for maritime rescue operations. The typical implementation is the use of a gun, rocket, or mechanical launcher to hurl a grappling hook or flotation buoy for stranded ships and overboard sailors. Microgravity offers analogous use cases, ranging from microsatellite operations to space debris interception. As such, the Lachesis line launcher is a handheld device that is purpose-built for microgravity applications. After the user pulls the trigger, a laser ignites a smoothbore rocket-propelled projectile which carries a nylon line behind it. Angled threads in the barrel provide the spin and stability that is typically only achieved by conventional rifling. To reduce weight, most components are 3D-printed out of polylactic acid (PLA), a biodegradable and light plastic. With a total weight of 68 g and a projectile kinetic energy of 0.127 J, the Lachesis line launcher presents an effective, potential option, even with contemporary operational constraints. The design combines several proven principles to demonstrate the viability and use case for an updated line launcher in orbital operations.

Authors: Tucker Constance , Jacobs Sarah , Moreno Kirstin
Published: December 2024

Learning outcomes and assessment frameworks guide educators in curricular decision-making, impact assessment, gap identification, and equity evaluation, aligning with anticipated learning objectives. Common frameworks include Bloom’s taxonomy, Kirkpatrick’s model, Fink’s taxonomy, and Moore’s Outcomes model. The authors identified a lack of focus on learners’ impact and social justice in these frameworks and developed the Evidence of Learning and Impact Framework to address these gaps. They conducted a scoping review, creating a crosswalk between existing frameworks and identifying additional gaps. Findings from the review and crosswalk are presented, discussing the challenges of incorporating frameworks from the Global South into a more rigid structure. The review synthesizes previous knowledge and highlights the importance of multidisciplinary approaches and diverse ways of knowing.

Published: December 2024

Introduction: Bariatric surgery, after failed weight loss and comorbidity resolution, can lead to postoperative sarcopenia, characterized by the gradual loss of muscle mass and strength, impacting functionality and quality of life. Objective: This systematic review aims to determine the prevalence of sarcopenia after bariatric surgery. Methods: The protocol was registered on PROSPERO  CRD42023447294). Comprehensive searches of electronic databases and journal references, without  language restrictions, were conducted. Sarcopenia was defined as a progressive disorder involving  muscle mass and function loss. The primary outcome was sarcopenia prevalence after bariatric surgery. Meta-analysis was realized using R software (version 4.1.0). Results: Among 1,445 reviewed studies from databases like MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, BVS, LILACS, and BDENF, eight met the criteria. The global sarcopenia prevalence was 32%, with an average age of 42 ± 10 years. It was higherin Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) patients (59%). DXA was the primary data collection method (45%). After bariatric surgery, sarcopenia prevalence was 55% after more than a year, 3% within a year,  and 24% at one year. Conclusion: The high sarcopenia prevalence highlights the need for healthcare  professionals to enhance screening, intervention, and follow-up for this condition.

At different times many respected and distinguished scientists, such as Ek. Takaishvili, D. Karichashvili, P. Ingorokva, Ak. Gatse­relia, G. Leonidze, Iv. Lolashvili, S.Phirtskhalava have worked on academic editions of Nikoloz Baratashvili's writings. Their merit in this work is undoubtedly great. For more than half a century, since the last academic edition of the poet's writings (we mean the 1972 edition by Ak. Gatserelia and Iv. Lolashvili, Tbilisi, "Soviet Geor­gia"), there have been a lot of noteworthy monographs, theses, re­sear­ches, articles and scientific letters in Baratashvilology, the re­sults of which must be reflected in the new academic two-volume edition of Nikoloz Baratashvili's writings and the bilingual (Geor­gian-English) digital chronicle of the poet's life and work. This res­ponsible work is currently being carried out within the grant pro­ject of the Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation of Georgia (#FR-23-10216).
 The present article is devoted to some recent studies mainly concerned with the poet's epistolary heritage, which is an important and integral part of his work and, according to tradition, will take place in this edition with the appropriate scientific apparatus. These studies, along with others, naturally implied the work of finding new documents in archival and museum funds and reviewing the existing ones with a critical eye.
The results obtained in the works and given in the article, consider the issues of the biography of Baratashvili's family circle – his two sisters.
It should be noted, that our first aim was to verify the facts and circumstances, which, taking into account the latest Baratashvi­liological studies, appeared doubtfull and they need to be clarified in the academic and other scientific editions of the poet's works.
In conclusion, it should be said that basing on the currently available archival materials, we tried to shed light on several issues of the biography of Nikoloz Baratashvili's two sisters: Ekaterine Baratashvili-Eristavi and Barbare Baratashvili-Vezirishvili. The results of the research, as already mentioned, should appear both in print and electronic editions determined by the grant project, as well as in other Baratashvilological and genealogical literature.
„ცამ მომმადლა და ...მიმიღო ცამან“
Authors: ცხადაია ზოია
Published: December 2024

The Second World War had just finished when (1946, 5.V) student Ana Kalandadze recited her first poems at the Writers’ Union of Georgia, the majority of which were later recognized as masterpieces. War and post-war poetry was strictly limited to decla­rative, conjunctive style and themes, which did nothing to do with Ana Kalandadze's pathos. She was warmly appreciated, and soon after her first performance, her poems were published in Georgian journals. It was a promising start. However, everything radically changed in August 1946 with a new wave of repression launched by the totalitarian Soviet system. Anna Akhmatova, Mikhail Zosh­chen­ko, Nikolay Tikhonov were severely reprimanded by the deci­sion of the Central Commi­ttee of the CPSU ... the latter was dis­missed from the chairmanship of the board of the Writers' Union. There were no objective reasons for such a de­ci­sion by the gover­nment. Such was the subjective attitude of the evil em­pire towards freethinking. The repression campaign begun in Moscow was then extended to the "union" republics. Taking into account the message re­ceived from the center, in 1946, literary magazine “Mnatobi” (No. 9, 10) shar­ply criticized Ana Kalandadze's poetry for not being guided by advanced ideas, being trapped in decadence, etc. From now on, Ana Kalandadze's free poetry would have to follow the censor's orders. She refused to obey, stopped publishing poems, and only in 1953 her first book came out.
Post-Stalinist liberalization has made it possible to avoid the absurd clichés of socialist realism since the second half of the twentieth century. In Georgian scientific criticism, Ana Kalandadze is regarded the first author (I. Ratiani), who overcame this tough path of transformation and created poet­ry with new artistic values. In her poems, it is especially important to pre­sent with greater in­ten­sity the spiritual world of the lyrical hero, persona­lity. Her lyri­cal reflections, lyrical monologues, biblical motifs, historical themes organically blend into the poet's thought system, thinking about the meaning of life. The early poetic forms of life and beauty, her pa­lette, were colored with new, complex feelings of earthly life, exis­ten­tial visions. Her lyrics largely determined the achievements of Georgian poetry in the second half of the 20th century.
Motivational Factors and Teachers’ Job Performance: An Investigation in Government Colleges of Bangladesh
Authors: Mojumder Arup Kumar , Haque Md. Munzurul
Published: December 2024

Motivation is a crucial factor in enhancing employee productivity within the workplace since it directly influences employee behavior. The motivation of instructors is crucial in educational institutions as it boosts their work performance by enhancing their abilities and expertise. This study aims to determine the opinions of teachers on their satisfaction levels about numerous motivating issues among educators in public colleges in Bangladesh, as well as the impact of this satisfaction on their performance. In order to accomplish this goal, a semi-structured questionnaire was sent to the government college teachers in Bangladesh via the Facebook group, to solicit their comments. A total of 100 teachers, who were recruited in the general education cadre of the Bangladesh Civil Service and are currently working as teachers at government colleges, responded to this appeal. This study revealed that the academic staff at public colleges in Bangladesh are predominantly dissatisfied with several motivational variables, which adversely impact their work performance. Regarding motivating factors, the majority of teachers indicated contentment just with job security and were dissatisfied with other considerations. Most teachers are dissatisfied with promotion, as they perceive it to have a detrimental effect on their job performance. This study suggests that authorities should promptly promote teachers and implement additional motivator factors in order to enhance teachers' work effectiveness.

Authors: Ireen Bwembya , Harrison Daka , James Chomba
Published: December 2024

This paper explores the role of assessments in achieving accountability and quality education provision in Zambia. The attainment of quality education is dependent upon the establishment of systems that ensure transparency, efficacy and accountability within the education system at all levels. Assessments play a crucial role in achieving accountability and ensuring quality education provision. Despite efforts to provide a comprehensive assessment system that has evaluation procedures that can assess more intellectual capacities, attitudinal and dispositional outcomes in areas of innovation, problem solving, self-initiated and self-sustaining, Zambia grapples with issues of equity and inclusivity in assessment practices which pose significant obstacles to achieving fair and meaningful evaluation of assessment system that promotes accountability and enhances quality education provision. Employing descriptive survey design and desk review of different collections of literature, policies, frameworks and reports, the study aims to illuminate both the strengths and weaknesses inherent in the current assessment practices within the Zambian context. Furthermore, the study endeavours to unearth the challenges impeding effective assessment practices, while simultaneously proposing strategic recommendations aimed at enhancing the existing shortcomings. The findings underscore the importance of robust assessments practices in augmenting accountability and ensuring quality education outcomes, providing valuable insights for policymakers, educators and stakeholders invested in advancing accountability and quality education provision through assessments. In addition, the study recommends incorporation of teacher training and all stakeholders involved in assessment practices, improve of existing infrastructure, construction and equipping of laboratories with equipment and apparatus, enhancing monitoring and supervision, re-thinking stipulated guidelines on assessment implementation and utilization of funds in schools. Additionally, re-consideration of resource allocation and material provision, coupled with feedback provision and analysis of capacities should be implemented in order for Zambia to develop a pathway towards a more equitable, inclusive and high-quality education system that empowers all learners to realize their maximum potential.

Background
Antibiotics are now facing a crisis of resistance. Overuse and misuse have led to bacteria developing resistance, making infections harder to treat. This is exacerbated by the availability of antibiotics without prescriptions and their presence in the environment. The spread of resistant bacteria poses a significant threat to global health, requiring urgent action. Governments and international organizations are working to combat this issue, but the problem persists. Addressing antibiotic resistance requires responsible use and the development of new antibiotics.
Objective
This study aimed to review antibiotic resistance in humans due to microbes.
Discussion
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a natural process where microorganisms stop responding to antibiotics, making infections harder to treat and increasing the risk of spreading serious diseases. The overuse of antibiotics accelerates this process, promoting AMR spread through distinct mechanisms like natural and acquired resistance. Genetic mechanisms involve inherent and acquired resistance in bacteria, impacting antibiotic effectiveness. Biological resistance mechanisms include enzymatic inhibition, reduced penetration, enhanced extrusion, and target changes. Strategies against antimicrobial agents involve restricting drug entry, modifying targets, rendering drugs inactive, and actively removing drugs from cells. Gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria exhibit variations in resistance mechanisms due to structural differences.
Conclusion
The development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria is a multifaceted issue, involving both inherent and acquired mechanisms. Inherent resistance stems from genetic mutations that occur spontaneously within bacterial populations. On the other hand, acquired resistance can occur through the transfer of genetic material between bacteria, enabling the spread of resistance traits. It is imperative to grasp these genetic, biological, and strategic mechanisms to effectively tackle the escalating challenge of antibiotic resistance and devise successful strategies to mitigate its impact.

Published: December 2024

The red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum) is a major pest causing significant damage to stored grains, leading to substantial economic losses. This study evaluated the repellent and insecticidal effects of red pepper (Capsicum frutescens), moringa (Moringa oleifera), and eucalyptus (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) powders against T. castaneum larvae and adults. Plant materials were dried, ground, and applied to crushed rice grains at concentrations of 1%, 2.5%, and 5%. The repellent effect was assessed by recording the number of insects leaving treated grains over five days, while the insecticidal effect was determined by calculating the corrected mortality percentage after seven days of treatment. Results showed that eucalyptus powder at 5% concentration had the highest repellent effect on larvae, with an overall repellence rate of 46.01%. Red pepper powder at 5% concentration was most effective in repelling adults, with an average repellence rate of 71.46%. Moringa powder at 5% concentration exhibited the highest insecticidal effect, causing 66.67% mortality in both larvae and adults. The efficacy of plant powders increased with higher concentrations. The repellent and insecticidal effects of these plant powders may be attributed to their volatile compounds, secondary metabolites, and physical properties. This study demonstrates the potential of using red pepper, moringa, and eucalyptus powders as eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic insecticides for protecting stored rice grains from T. castaneum infestation. Further research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of these plant powders in protecting other stored crops from various storage pests.

Published: December 2024

This study explores the political impacts of citizenship policy changes on Indonesia’s diplomatic relationships, particularly in the context of globalization and the movement of its diaspora. Indonesia currently maintains a single citizenship policy, preventing its citizens from holding dual nationality. This restriction often complicates the legal and emotional connections of Indonesians living abroad with their home country, while also limiting their economic contributions through remittances and investments. Conversely, many nations have adopted dual citizenship policies to maintain stronger connections with their diaspora and enhance their diplomatic influence. Using a qualitative approach with case studies focusing on countries with large Indonesian diasporas, such as Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, and the United States, this research highlights the potential benefits of dual citizenship. The findings indicate that allowing dual citizenship could strengthen Indonesia’s diplomatic ties and increase economic contributions from overseas Indonesians. However, there are challenges to implementation, including concerns over divided loyalty and complexities in legal enforcement. This paper suggests that Indonesia consider a carefully controlled introduction of dual citizenship, taking into account legal protections, economic benefits, and the role of the diaspora in promoting Indonesia’s interests abroad.

Abstract. Pancasila has an important role in various aspects of life, including in efforts to prevent and eradicate corruption. This research aims to examine the role of Pancasila's contribution in the context of constitutional law, especially in terms of integrity and public ethics. Using qualitative research methods and descriptive analysis, this study investigates how Pancasila values such as social justice, fair and civilized humanity, and unity can be integrated into the legal system and state administration to prevent and eradicate corruption. The results of this study show that the use of Pancasila principles in laws and public policies has significant potential to improve transparency and accountability. The study also identifies challenges and barriers to the implementation of Pancasila values and provides recommendations to improve the effectiveness of corruption prevention and eradication in Indonesia. The findings support the argument that Pancasila serves not only as an ideological basis, but also as a practical foundation in building a legal system with integrity.

Wind drift is a very critical issue in pesticide applications. In recent experiments, the application of pesticides is focus on precision farming. In this study, a spraying system that could manipulate trajectories of droplets to decrease drift was tested in a wind tunnel. Three nozzles (XR11002, AIXR11002 and TTJ6011002) were used at three operating pressures (200 kPa, 300 kPa, 400 kPa), with four orientation angles of nozzles against wind direction (0°, 5°, 10°, 15°), and three wind velocities (1.5 m s-1, 2 m s-1 and 2.5 m s-1) with three repetitions. A statistical factorial CRD was used with Tukey Post Hoc Test to determine the significance of the differences between treatment means. The results from the experiment showed that the downwind drift as spray pattern displacements were significantly reduced in the angled position of the nozzles compared to the non-angled position. The highest downwind drift reductions were achieved with AIXR11002 (38.47%) under conditions of 200 kPa pressure, 2 m s-1 wind velocity and 15° orientation angle. and for TTJ6011002 (34.41%) under conditions of 200 kPa pressure, 1.5 m s-1 wind velocity and 15° orientation angle. Even the XR11002 nozzle, which had the highest drift potential among selected nozzles achieved about 22.56% downwind drift reduction at 200 kPa pressure, 2 m s-1 wind velocity and 10°orientation angle.

This study of occupational stress focused on the aviation industry, specifically student pilots, Certified Flight Instructors, airline pilots, and corporate aviation pilots in the United States. The objective of this exploratory, cross-sectional study was to explore existing theory in a new way to both quantify and qualitatively describe pilots’ perceptions of their most common chronic stressors. Researchers employed a mixed methodology, using the Perceived Stress Scale for its applications in categorizing perceptions of chronic stress). In addition to descriptive, quantitative analysis using the PSS’s Likert scale responses, researchers used Spradley’s domain analysis to identify and further partition themes into sections called “Cover Terms.” These terms, or themes, were organized further into sub-themes called “Included Terms.” The first Cover Term was “Operational Challenges in Aviation.” This cover term encompassed two Included Terms: “Managing” and “Unpredictability.” Within the sample of pilots, roughly one-quarter of the respondents mentioned that the most stressful part of being a pilot was due to operational challenges in aviation. The second major Cover Term was “Balancing Work and Personal Life.” This theme was expanded into three separate subthemes: “Well-being,” “Scheduling,” and “Responsibility.” These Included Terms were further categorized into six “Conjectures.” Nearly half, 48%, of the respondents mentioned that the most stressful part of being a pilot was due to balancing their work and personal life.
