Quantifying the UDS Hydraulic and Social Resilience to Flooding: An Index-Based Approach vs. a Parameter-Based MCDM Method
Authors: Binesh Negin , Sarang Amin , Niksokhan Mohammad Hossein , Rauch Wolfgang , Aronica Giuseppe T.
Published: June 2022

Various approaches to quantifying resilience have sparked debate in past years. This study measures the social and hydraulic resilience of an Urban Drainage System (UDS) using two methodologies, i.e., a proposed index-based framework and a parametric-based Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) method. The former positions flexibility as a key property of the resilience concept, and after quantifying four characteristics of a flexible system, measures the flood resilience based on quantifying the two resilience components, i.e., flexibility and resistance; while. The latter calculates the resilience through a linear combination of the actual values and relative weights for different UDS sub-characteristics which best describe the resiliency of the system. The methodologies were applied to a basin, focusing on flooding as a disaster, to quantitatively evaluate the behavior of UDS under both single-event and long-term precipitation. The results of both methods were indicative of a relatively low level of flood resiliency for the UDS in the studied area. Among different scenarios examined for the studied region, using Best Management Practices (BMPs) was turned out to be an effective adaptive measure to enhance the UDS resilience to a higher level.

Published: June 2022

Mediterranean ports feature complex layouts and exert important environmental pressures in squeezed coastal zones. They experience mild meteo-oceanographic conditions during part of the year, leading to water velocities that are close to the resolution limits of observation equipment. The paper addresses the challenge of characterising summer port hydrodynamics by designing intensive field campaigns, focused on hydrodynamic variables, such as harbour entrance fluxes. The approach was developed for three Spanish microtidal harbours with different domain sizes and one or two entrances. These elements play a key role in harbour exchanges through the entrance and the subsequent water renovation. The paper will present and discuss the meteocean data and inferred variables, such as renovation times, which is a key indicator of water quality. From this basis, the paper will discuss the changing estuarine circulation patterns and the role of upwelling and downwelling on observed water temperature peaks. The conclusions will address the role of harbour hydrodynamics in integrated coastal water quality and port engineering, particularly for ports’ environmental impacts on adjacent beaches. To assess the full hydrodynamic domain, forecasting models are helpful. The continuous observations presented in this work would also help in the implementation and validation of these models.
Design of a Data Security Access Control Algorithm for the Electric Vehicle Internet of Vehicles Based on Blockchain Technology
Authors: Miao Jia
Published: June 2022

The data transmission in the vehicle network is easily interfered with by the outside world, which makes the security of data access difficult to provide in order to meet the actual needs. Therefore, a data security access control algorithm for an electric vehicle network based on blockchain technology is proposed. Using the double-chain architecture of an alliance chain-private chain in a blockchain, the distributed database of data communication for vehicle networking is constructed. In the process of vehicle network communication, the long short-term memory neural network is introduced to analyze the risk of communication behavior. A generator and discriminator are used to avoid communication risk behavior and realize secure access to data. The experimental results show that the success rate of data tampering is lower than 0.09 when this design method is used to deal with external intrusion, and it has high security.

Published: June 2022

Buku ini bertujuan menghadirkan konsep masa berdasarkan gagasan Qur’an mengenai Al-Ashr. Kehadiran pertama, masa, baik historis, melampauinya, hingga ketentuan Ilahiah tidak pernah lepas dari kesucian, sebagai ruang waktu di mana tindakan moral berkesucian hadir. Kehadiran kedua, hakekatnya, kesucian sebagai realitas mengada, eksis, dan hadir, dimana seluruh rentangan masa lalu, masa kini dan masa depan tidak lagi penting, bahkan hilang, tetapi merupakan realitas yang hadir di masa tanpa masa. Kehadiran ketiga, kesucian di sisi lain haruslah menyejarah untuk tugas keumatan atas nama kecintaan kepada Allah yang menjadi bagian kesadaran terdalam setiap manusia dan relasi kemanusiaan di mana masa lalu, kini dan depan bergerak menyejarah dalam ruang dan waktu. Kehadiran keempat, manusia sejati dengan demikian adalah manusia yang selalu menyucikan jiwanya tanpa jeda di ruang waktu historis, bahkan melampauinya. Kehadiran kelima, tindakan kun fayakun Allah eksis, hadir, mengada, di seluruh rentang masa tanpa pra kondisi maupun konstruksi apapun berbasis perintah-Nya (disebut Ibn Arabi Triplisitas Bipolar).

Stock Prices Analysis and Forecasting
Authors: albaroudi Elham
Published: June 2022

 Stock Expectation plays a crucial part in fund and  financial matters. Numerous individuals contribute billions of  monetary standards on the stocks anticipating the benefit after  every single stock is obtained. Depending on the behavior of  advertising there are ups and downs within the benefit, so the  issue of quick and exact estimating of share cost becomes vital.  Such a prediction may be enhanced by using Machine and Deep  Learning, and this dissertation proposes a novel strategy for  predicting stock cost, oil, and gold forecast based on profound  learning and outfit learning strategies. Therefore, this  dissertation assesses and describes the following two types of  frequently used models: Economic Factors in Standard Time  Series based on various approaches and features. Previous  studies attempted to forecast future gold and prices using  previous data and Structural Models which attempt to explain  the links between oil and gold prices about a range of economic  considerations using machine learning models: SVM, Random  Forest, Linear Regression, Random Forest Regression, and  LSTM. These predictions are based on the sliding window  technique and try to implement such a system and apply it for  forecasting using oil and gold time series. By using Machine and  Deep Learning methods, more accurate forecasting in stock  prices may be obtained and this dissertation sought to answer the  following questions about this general premise: What is the effect  of the major oil and company financial results on future price?  What is the effect between oil and price and how that will affect  the gold future price? What is the coloration between US prices  and the stock market? How will natural disasters, disease, and  wars affect oil, and gold prices? The accompanying  macroeconomic variables were utilized which are S&P 500 List,  New York Stock Trade List (NYSE), and US Dollar List and  Consumer Feeling Record (CSI). Findings that NYSE is affected  a positive strong correlation on oil price while oil price affects  positive strong correlation on the gold price. Also, USD affects a  strong negative correlation with the stock market (oil and gold).  Finally, by analyzing the increase and decrease in oil prices from  OPEC, an indirect relationship was discovered.

Authors: M Arifuzzaman , DG Mostafa , MM Haque , MM Rahman , MJ Maula , MR Islam
Published: June 2022

Background: Hypertrophic nonunion often develops due to improper fracture immobilization or failed internal fixation. Gross mobility at the fracture site interferes with the normal healing process with the formation of fibrocartilage, which fails to mature into solid callus. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to evaluate distraction osteogenesis by ilizarov ring fixator for hypertrophic nonunion of tibia with deformity and shortening. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study conducted at National Institute of Traumatology & Orthopaedic Rehabilitation (NITOR), Dhaka, Bangladesh in the period from June 2011 to December 2012. Study population were all the patients with hypertrophic nonunion of tibia with shortening and deformity, attending out-patient department in NITOR. A total of 10 patients were included for evaluation from which 8 patients were selected using purposive sampling method. Surgery was with detailed preoperative x-ray analysis and measurement of magnitude of deformity and LLD. Other necessary investigations were done if clinically indicated and to prepare the patient for anesthesia. Statistical analysis of the results was obtained by using window-based computer software devised with Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS-22). Results: The mean age of patients was 32.62 years and the lowest and the highest ages were 14and 55 years respectively. Type of deformity out of 08 patients, 07 patients had only angulation deformity and 01 had angulation translation deformity. Distribution of patients with the Plane of deformity reflects that 2 patients had sagittal plane and 6 had oblique plane. Conclusion: As the outcome evaluation was done 5-11 months after operation, changes in outcome beyond 3-11 months like Knee, ankle arthritis and symptom status, recurrence of deformity, collapse of lengthen segment could not be ascertained.

Published: June 2022

Knee stiffness resulting from retraction of quadriceps muscle results in extended knee and limitation of flexion to varying degrees. This can be corrected by quadricepsplasty, which has several techniques. One of them is Thompson’s quadricepsplasty. Several modifications in Thompson’s quadricepsplasty have been tried previously to improve the patient outcomes in terms of improved flexion of knee without extension lag and to reduce complications. In our case report we did modifications in traditional Thompson’s technique and did VY lengthening of vastus lateralis and Z lengthening of fascia lata. The procedure was successful with no major complications and patient was able to walk normally with knee mobility from 0 to 100 degrees after one and half years from the procedure.

Authors: BC Dr. Bhagavan , Dasappa Dr. Pandu , K Dr. Supreeth
Published: June 2022

Background: The external branch of the Superior Laryngeal nerve (EBSLN) is at high risk of injury in surgery for large multi-nodular goitre (MNG) since the upper pole is high in the neck, well cephalad to the EBSLN. We present a technique of drawing the lobe caudally by retrograde thyroidectomy in order to minimize nerve injury. Design & method: All patients having surgery for benign MNG were included. Cases with previous thyroid surgery, malignant and toxic disease were excluded. The thyroid lobe was mobilized from its inferior aspect and capsular dissection performed cephalad with bipolar cautery, lifting the gland off the trachea while separating it from the parathyroids and branches of the inferior thyroid vessels. The ligament of Berry is divided and the entire lobe freed, attached only by the superior pedicle which is drawn caudally well below the EBSLN prior to ligation. Patients were followed for voice change at 24 hours, 7 days and 3 months. Results: Ninety-one consecutive lobectomies were done in 60 patients, 31 bilateral. Forty-four (73%) patients had voice change at 24 h, 10 (11%) at 7 days and 1 at 3 months. The patient with persistent voice change complained of change in tone but not volume; vocal cords were normal on indirect laryngoscopy. Conclusion: Retrograde thyroidectomy is recommended for large MNG where the EBSLN lies well below the upper pole; it minimizes risk to the nerve.

Mapping Presence: An Exploration of Embodiment and Knowledge Transfers in Cyber-Mediated Classrooms
Authors: Kahl Kendra N.
Published: June 2022

As teachers and students navigated the forced transition to online education, their physical and social interaction became possible only through technology. How did this mediated interaction affect learning outcomes, teacher presence, and their performance, in synchronous classroom spaces? What was lost in the translation of in-person instruction? What might this lost element tell us about the epistemology of embodiment, the transfer of knowledge in the classroom, and the roles of teachers and students within these knowledge frameworks? Through autoethnographical performative inquiry, this paper argues that embodiment—individual and collective—and multidimensional proximity construct sites of knowledge transfer.

Published: June 2022

The rich learning that accompanies collaborative research practices can go unappreciated without systematic reflection and examination, which is an under-researched area. In this arts-informed inquiry, grounded in the experiences of four scholars, we show how artmaking was integrated into a qualitative research process to represent findings. In the qualitative phase, we analyzed researcher reflections kept throughout the research process to identify themes. Then, we created different art forms to represent the themes. Engaging in artmaking allowed us to be reflexive, strengthened our understanding of collaboration, and how using arts expanded the qualitative findings.

Industrial biotechnology has a great emerging demand and sustainable expansion for mankind to utilize a variety of biodegradable material for the production of various alternative energy resources such as biogas and bioethanol. Researchers are interested in exploitation of novel fungal strains for the production of extracellular cellulase from the last few decades. This study was designed to assess the extracellular cellulase production potential of novel fungal strains of Sordaria fimicola first isolated from the evolution canyon, three located on South facing slope with xeric (S1, S2, S3) and other three on North facing slope with mesic (N5, N6, N7) environmental conditions. Based on initial and secondary screening two hyper producer strains from each slope were selected. The best activity for S2 was 3.125 U/ml and N6 exhibited 2.829 U/mL under optimized conditions of 14 d of incubation at 30 oC, pH 6.0, 1 mL inoculum and with 2% substrate (carboxy-methyl cellulose) concentration. Among the tested carbon and nitrogen sources, glucose proved to be best for both strains with S2 exhibiting maximum activity. Peptone and beef extract proved to be the best nitrogen sources for S2 and N6 respectively. The cellulase after characterization for temperature and pH showed slightly thermophilic nature. The cellulase was partial purification the highest cellulase activities as surviving in more xeric conditions which contribute more resistive and productive features in those microorganisms living in the harsh environment.

Приведены зависимости несущей способности от пролета среза и класса бетона полки на сжатие. Получены значения несущей способности элементов без учета свесов полки по СП 63.13330.2018 и EN 1992-1-1. Выводы. Установлено, что вопреки логике нормативной документации СП 63.13330.2018 и EN 1992-1-1 свесы полки балки таврового сечения влияют на несущую способность элемента по наклонному сечению. При этом повышение физико-механических свойств бетона отдельно полки двухслойного элемента образует еще большие запасы несущей способности.

Statement of the problem. An issue of identifying the load-carrying capacity by bending sections of a facing section with high-strength concrete in the compressed zone is investigated. Normative documentation for calculating and designing ferroconcrete structures does not account for curvatures on shelves of a facing section while identifying the load-carrying capacity. Therefore we must determine the impact of mechanical characteristics of concrete in curvatures on the load-carrying capacity of the elements. Elements without a transverse section and using various concrete types in a shelf are considered. Results. According to the results of numerical modelling, typical patterns of the stress-strain as the load-carrying capacity diminishes are identified. Dependencies of the load-carrying capacity on the span of a curvature and concrete type in compression are presented. The load-carrying capacity of the elements with no account of curvatures in a shelf are obtained in compliance with SP 63.13330.2018 and EN 1992-1-1. Conclusions. It was found that in contrast to the normative documentation SP 63.13330.2018 and EN 1992-1-1 curvatures on a shelf of a girder of a facing section affects the load-carrying capacity of an element by a bending section. An increase in the physical and mechanical properties of concrete in relation to a shelf of a two-layer element generates extra load-carrying capacity.

Постановка задачи. Проанализировать результаты лабораторных испытаний сваи с присоединенной к ее стволу консолью разной длины при горизонтальных нагрузках и сравнить их с результатами испытаний одиночной сваи. Результаты. В ходе лабораторных испытаний было установлено, что присоединенная к стволу сваи консоль увеличивает несущую способность сваи в среднем в 1,5 раза. При этом оптимальной следует признать консоль длиной 1,5 d , где d - диаметр сваи. По результатам экспериментальных исследований взаимодействия свай с песчаным основанием были определены горизонтальные и вертикальные перемещения головы сваи, а также угол поворота головы сваи, при этом показано, что наличие консоли приводит к уменьшению горизонтальных перемещений и крена сваи в 4 раза. Выводы. Результаты приведенных лабораторных испытаний наглядно показали, что при присоединении к свае консоли перемещения сваи становятся существенно меньше, чем ее перемещения без данного элемента. Кроме того, результаты опытов показали эффективность применения консолей с целью повышения несущей способности горизонтально нагруженных свай.

Statement of the problem. We have analyzed the results of laboratory tests of a pile with a console of different lengths attached to its shaft under horizontal loads and compare them with the results of testing a single pile. Results. During laboratory tests, it was found that the console attached to the pile trunk increases the bearing capacity of the pile by an average of 1.5 times. At the same time, the console with a length of 1.5 d should be considered optimal, where d - is the diameter of the pile. According to the results of experimental studies of the interaction of piles with a sandy base, horizontal and vertical movements of the pile head were determined, as well as the angle of rotation of the pile head, while it was shown that the presence of a console leads to a decrease in horizontal displacements and the roll of the pile by 4 times. Conclusions. The results of the above laboratory tests clearly showed that when the console is attached to the pile, the displacement of the pile becomes significantly less than its displacement without this element. In addition, the results of the experiments showed the effectiveness of the use of consoles in order to increase the non-existent capacity of horizontally loaded piles.

SUMMARY OF AUTOMATION, PRODUCTION SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER-INTEGRATED MANUFACTURING FOURTH EDITION BY MIKELL P. GROOVER
Authors: Septano Guruh Dwi
Published: June 2022

The word manufacturing derives from manus (hand) and factur (make), where the combination means made by hand. The manufacturing operation is concerned with transforming materials into items with greater value; the manufacturing process has adopted the automation system for the production system. Automation refers to mechanical equipment that performs physical tasks without the need for oversight by human workers. An automated system consists of three basic elements: the power to accomplish the system's operation, a program of instructions to direct the process, and a control system to actuate the instructions. The control system causes the process to accomplish its defined function, which performs several manufacturing operations. The controls in an automated system can be either closed-loop or open-loop, using discrete control and programmable logic controller. Sensors and actuators also support the logic controller's role in industrial control systems, which can be used for robotics.

Nigeria is one of the most endowed economic countries in the African continent with abundant human and material resources that are capable of empowering and transforming the lives of youths towards sustainable socio-economic and political development. Majority of the youth population in Nigeria are living below the poverty line due to a high level of unemployment in the society. This study primarily examines the impact of Youth Empowerment Scheme (YES) program for Self-Reliance and poverty alleviation in three (3) States which include: Niger, Kaduna, and Zamfara state-Nigeria. Primary data was employed and data were collected through questionnaires. A total number of 534 questionnaires were distributed to the respondents using simple random technique among the beneficiaries of the various Youth Empowerment Scheme programs across the states. Four hundred and forty-two (442) respondents returned questionnaires were found to be valid for data analysis. The data collected was analyzed using Partial Least Square (PLS) statistics package to establish the statistical relationship between the anti-poverty program and poverty alleviation. The findings of the study showed that YES has a significant impact on the standard of living of the target beneficiaries, where youth were gainfully self-reliance and equally reduce their level of poverty status in those selected states. The study recommended for proper harmonization of efforts of all agencies towards the poverty alleviation programs in all the selected States in order to enhance effective implementation of a well-planned and concerted policy framework, and the involvement of the community members and stakeholders in the conceptualization, and implementation of programs, and lastly provision of adequate funds are all found to be very essential.

NATIONAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE POPULATION OF THE UZBEK SSR DURING THE WAR
Authors: Kamola Davlyatalievna Saipova
Published: June 2022

Resettlement peoples as a means of solving the problems of national minorities is characteristic of totalitarian states. In during World War II, it became apparent that the idea of mass migrations found its supporters among democratically oriented politicians in many countries. Undoubtedly, this was facilitated by disappointment in the system of protecting the rights of national minorities, which collapsed at the end of the 30s of the twentieth century, as well as the very fact of the actualization of conflicts between centuries of neighboring peoples. The author, on the basis of a broad study, revealed the dynamics of the national composition of the population of the Uzbek SSR during the Second World War.
