Authors: Qian C. M. , Zhang W. T. , Luo H. X. , Chen J.
Published: December 2022

Single factor combined with response surface methodology was used to optimise the process parameters of tea saponin extraction from Camellia oleifera. Four factors including material-liquid ratio, extraction temperature, extraction time, and ethanol concentration were selected as the influencing factors on the basis of single factor. The extraction rate of tea saponin was used as the response factor to analyse the response of these four factors and three levels. Results showed that extraction temperature of 81.69°C, material-liquid ratio of 1:11.85 g/mL, time of 6.17 h, and ethanol concentration of 56.69% were the best extraction conditions. The estimated yield of extraction was 7.46%. Analysis of the tea saponin samples by using high performance liquid chromatography showed that the main peak time was 6.668 min, and the absorption peaks and peaks were symmetric.

Authors: Álvarez Montoya Andrés Camilo , Sepúlveda Rincón Cindy Tatiana , Zapata Montoya José Edgar
Published: December 2022

The present work modelled the enzymatic hydrolysis of red tilapia (Oreochromis spp.) viscera with Alcalase® 2.4 L in both 0.5 and 5 L reactors. The best conditions for the enzymatic hydrolysis were 60°C and pH 10. The product inhibited the enzymatic hydrolysis, and the enzyme deactivated following second-order reaction. K_M and K_p from a secondary plot of K_M^app as a function of inhibitor concentration, and k_2, p, and k_3 were found by non-linear regression. While the obtained parameters modelled the 0.5 L reactor well, it did not model the 5 L reactor, probably because of unconsidered fluid dynamics in the model. To have a better modelling, a neural network (tensorflow.keras.models module) was built and trained. The neural network modelled the enzymatic hydrolysis of red tilapia at several concentrations of substrate and enzyme. This result proved that neural networks are a powerful tool for modelling biological processes.
Application of camellia oil-based diacylglycerol and its solid fractions in soft ice cream
Authors: Yang Jia Xin , Xu Qingqing , Khor Yih Phing
Published: December 2022

Ice cream products are sweet and rich in taste, which make them popular desserts among consumers. However, the high-fat and high-sugar contents in ice creams may result in multiple health conditions after prolonged consumption. Camellia oil-based diacylglycerol (CD) oil can reduce the body fat accumulation due to their different metabolic pathways from triacylglycerol (TAG) oil. It is believed that the long-term consumption of CD can improve human’s health by lowering the plasma TAG and blood sugar levels. Nevertheless, CD is unsuitable for direct application in ice cream products due to its low solid fat content (SFC). Therefore, in the present work, fractionation was attempted to increase the SFC of the CD. Subsequently, camellia oil, CD, and its solid fractions were characterised and further incorporated in ice cream formulations. It was found that fractionation significantly (p < 0.05) increased the SFC of the CD. The solid fractions of CD exhibited similar physicochemical properties with the oils/fats commonly used for ice cream production, namely palm olein and milk fat. At 0°C, the SFC of the CD solid fractions was 29.33%; whereas at 37°C, the SFC decreased rapidly, which enabled them to melt quickly in the mouth. At the same time, CD solid fractions were rich in β'-form crystals which contributed to the rich, delicate, and smooth texture for ice cream products. The ice cream formulated with CD solid fractions showed better overrun (48.24%) and hardness (594.18 g) as compared to the ice creams prepared with camellia oil (with the overrun and hardness of 41.27% and 524.36 g, respectively) and CD (with the overrun and hardness of 39.77% and 284.31 g, respectively). The substitution of TAG with CD solid fractions made the formulated ice cream product a healthier dessert, and at the same time provided similar organoleptic properties as conventional ice creams.

Published: December 2022

Due to increasing wars and global warming, the issue of providing the supply-demand balance in energy and food is becoming more important daily. When the issue of providing the electricity needed in modern greenhouses and consuming the energy where it is produced are evaluated together, rooftop applications in greenhouses become important. In this study, a photovoltaic system on a greenhouse in an area of 5031.6 m2 was modeled three-dimensionally using PVsyst software in north-south, and east-west orientations at 10°, 20° and 35° angles, and 6 different simulation studies were performed. By determining the cost of the greenhouse and above-greenhouse photovoltaic system to be constituted, an economic analysis study was performed at the point of OG single-term and OG double-term tariffs in the Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EPDK) tariff tables. As a result, the highest electricity production of the power plant was eventuated as 1579.2 MWh at 10° east-west orientation. In the case of the sale of electricity produced in the photovoltaic system installed above the greenhouse, it has been calculated that the OG single-term tariff brings 2 162 443.087 TL, and the OG double-term tariff 2 203 707.83 TL annual income. The lowest electricity generation was at 35° north-south orientation and was 1392.3 MWh. Based on this production value, it has been calculated that in the case of electricity sales, the OG monomial tariff brings an annual income of 1 894 757.401 TL, and the OG binomial tariff brings 1 930 914.04 TL.

Turkiye is a country rich in renewable energy resources, one of which is its tremendous potential, especially in solar energy. Investments in photovoltaic systems are increasing day by day in order to evaluate this potential The simulations of these systems, which will be established while making investment plans, are very important in terms of investment return times. In this study, information and data were obtained from a working rooftop photovoltaic system and simulations were carried out using PVsyst and system advisor model (SAM) software. The simulation data was compared with the power plant's electricity generation data using statistical analysis methods of deviation, Root Mean Square Error (RMSD), and Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD). When all these analysis methods were evaluated, it was seen that the error and deviation values of the SAM software were lower on an annual basis. On the other hand, it has been determined that the error and deviation values of the PVsyst software are lower on a monthly basis.

Osmanlı Hukuku içerisinde başvurulan cezalardan birisi olan sürgün ağır suçlara verilen idam ya da hapis gibi cezalara nispeten daha hafif bir müeyyide olmakla birlikte suçun engellenmesi açısından mühim bir önlemdir. Problemli kişi ve grupların kontrollü olarak suç mahallerinden uzaklaştırılmasını içeren sürgün, suça iştirakin en asgari düzeye indirilebilmesini hedeflerken devleti kısmen de olsa rahatlatmıştır.

Toplumsal yapı içerisindeki bazı özellikli grupların karşılaşabileceği gibi herhangi bir vatandaşın da suçuna istinaden karşılaşacağı sürgün, mazlumun korunması ve zalimin cezalandırılması açısından adaleti temin etmeyi hedeflemektedir. Bununla beraber sürgün cezası alan bilhassa devlet personelinin görev ihlallerinin engellenmesi sağlanırken, zorunlu yer değiştirmeleri ile kurumsal yozlaşmanın önüne geçilmeye çalışılmıştır. Toplu olarak yapılan sürgünler ise sorunlu kitlelerin ikametlerinin değiştirilmesi yolu ile bazen genel asayişin temini, bazen iskân siyasetinin bir gereği, bazen de göçebe aşiretlerin tarım faaliyetine dahil edilmesi suretiyle tahrir defterlerine kaydını sağlamak gibi sonuçlar yaratmıştır.

Halep Vilayetine bağlı Maraş Sancağı özelinde irdelenen sürgün cezalarının ayrıntılarına yer verilen bu çalışmada, arşiv belgelerinin desteği ile genişletilmeye çalışılan bilgiler ışığında sürgünün Osmanlı Devleti’ndeki işleyişi tetkik edilmeye çalışılmıştır.

The PowerSkin conference series is a biennial event organised cooperatively between TU München, TU Darmstadt, and TU Delft, which is already in its fourth edition, having started in 2017. This coming edition of PowerSkin has also been supported and organised with the support of RWTH Aachen. The conference addresses the role of building skins in accomplishing a carbon-neutral building stock. Therefore, integrating the environmental dimension of material and construction into the design phase is increasingly essential. This is done primarily by considering the energy and emissions linked to the building fabric's fabrication and its ability for reuse and recycling.

For this reason, the focus of the PowerSKIN Conference 2022 is the building fabric with its environmental potential to unlock. Therefore the theme is: "Build in stock – renovation strategies: inorganic, circular materials vs organic, compostable materials".

This theme is discussed through the following sub-themes:

Envelope: the building envelope as an interface for interacting between indoor and outdoor environments, new functionalities, technical developments and material properties.

Energy: new concepts, accomplished projects, and visions for the interaction between building structure, envelope and energy technologies.

Environment: Façades or elements of façades which aim to provide highly comfortable surroundings where environmental control strategies, energy generation and/or storage are an integrated part of an active skin.

This special issue of the Journal of Façade Design and Engineering dedicated to PowerSKIN 2022 showcases the conference's most prominent and relevant papers, aiming to enhance their visibility for a larger audience.
Renovating Modern Heritage
Authors: Grom Rouven S , Putz Andreas W
Published: December 2022

The post-war building stock is increasingly being transformed. Even at objects protected as listed heritage, renovation usually results in a high degree of material exchange and replacement. This is especially the case in regard to historic curtain wall constructions. Based on the case study of the Commerzbank High-rise and original planning documents by Gartner, the paper focuses on the applied strategy of disassembling and reassembling the curtained aluminium sandwich elements, and the resulting upgrading of the original façade with a newly installed interlayer for insulation. The paper discusses the possible transfer of this strategy, which largely depended on the existing high quality of the aluminium components, their corrosion-resistant properties and low weight. The case study of the former Commerzbank High-rise indicates that a long-term preservation of post-war modern building stock can be achieved without wholesale replacement of original building components. The reuse of existing materials and components represents a promising approach.
Timber-based Façades with Different Connections and Claddings: Assessing Materials’ Reusability, Water Use and Global Warming Potential
Authors: Juaristi Miren , Sebastiani Ilaria , Avesani Stefano
Published: December 2022

Timber-based façade technologies have the potential to effectively reduce the carbon footprint, reduce water use in construction, and minimize waste, when their manufacturing process is highly prefabricated. Additionally, avoiding glue parts can enhance the sustainability of the façade as its elements can be replaced (extending the durability of façades and therefore buildings) and separated once that they reach their end of life (to re-use or recycle them). Thus, the connection between materials might have a considerable impact on the façade’s sustainability. Moreover, timber-based façades can have different claddings, impacting on the water needed for the technology and their Global Warming Potential (GWP). This paper assesses, through a novel methodological approach, materials’ reusability, water use, and GWP for different façade connections and claddings. Four prototypes with different connections (staples, screws, timber nails, and geometrical assembly) were built. Experimental activities representing façade elements’ substitution and disassembly provided qualitative and quantitative information about production, extraordinary maintenance, and end-of-life phases. Through these tests, the quantity of material that could be re-used and disposed in such phases was quantified and then inserted in a Life Cycle Analysis (LCA). LCA was conducted using EF v.3.0 impact method and components were modelled with EPD information and Ecoinvent cut-off 3.7 database. According to the results, a timber-based façade with timber nails and wood cladding is the most promising of reusable façade materials, decreasing the water use and GWP.
The Potential of Static and Thermochromic Window Films for Energy Efficient Building Renovations
Authors: Kragt Stijn , Van den Ham E R , Sentjens H , Schenning A P H J , Klein Tillmann
Published: December 2022

The type of glazing implemented in a building plays an important role in the heat management of a building. Solar heat entering through glazing causes overheating of interior spaces and increases building’s cooling load. In this work, the energy saving potential of window films based on Cholesteric Liquid Crystals (CLC) is explored. This emerging technology allows for the fabrication of static and thermochromic solar heat rejecting window films and can provide a simple renovation solution towards energy efficient buildings. Simulations on a model office showed that static CLC-based window films can save up to 29% on a building’s annual energy use in warm climates. In climates with distinct summer and winter seasons, static solar heat rejecting windows films cause an additional heating demand during winters, which reduces the annual energy savings. In these climates, the benefit of thermochromic CLC-based window films becomes evident and an annual energy saving up to 22% can be achieved.

Published: December 2022

Immunization has been a successful method of preventing and controlling life-threatening  infectious diseases since the 20th century. About 2-3 million child deaths are avoided annually  through vaccination. Despite increasing vaccination rates worldwide, many children in  developing nations still miss their vaccinations. Therefore, many children are still vulnerable  to the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) targeted diseases. Missed opportunities for  vaccination (MOVs) occur when people who are eligible for vaccination visit a medical facility  but do not receive the necessary vaccinations. Therefore, vaccination has the opportunity to  achieve more if missed vaccination opportunities (MOVs) are removed and global  immunization coverage increases. A narrative review was conducted to summarize vaccination  missing among Iraqi children, and factors affecting the vaccine coverage rate.

The era of the COVID-19 pandemic requires every educational institution to adapt in maintaining learning outcomes so that the quality of graduates remains optimal. Health education institutions try their best to use existing resources to provide educational services to students, although face-to-face learning can only be done through virtual face-to-face as well as laboratory and clinical practice. It has taken almost 2 years for the world of health education to undergo online learning, so the latest government regulation in 2022 calls for blended learning to be carried out immediately by combining lectures that are carried out face-to-face (50%) with face-to-face (50%). Educational institutions need to prepare the entire community to enter campus because it avoids the spread of the Covid-19 virus in the institutional environment. It is necessary to disseminate information by educational institutions to all students, lecturers and employees who work to pay attention to health rules and protocols. Health education on health protocols needs to be delivered in two forms of media, namely videos and guidebooks because they are very helpful in increasing knowledge that will affect attitudes in implementing health protocols on campus so that the spread of covid 19 can be avoided and campus as a place to learn and interact can be maximally functioned. by the academic community.

Seeing differently
Authors: Davidson Lee
Published: December 2022

Mountains are central to how New Zealanders see themselves as a nation and the image that they project to the world. At the same time, Māori have been engaged in a long-running campaign seeking acknowledgement of the mana of their maunga, the return of their tūpuna names and new partnership models for conservation management. This article explores elements of the past that have made this struggle necessary, in particular the role of mountain imagery created by Pākehā during the nineteenth century, when Aotearoa’s mountains were used to construct a vision of a ‘new’ country in the minds of those ‘at home’. Colonists represented the mountains as untrodden and uninhabited, and set about renaming and mapping them. By the 1870s, the appropriation of mountains as a cultural landscape for tourism saw a proliferation of images that promoted European ways of seeing mountains, while Māori relationships to their maunga were often framed as quaint or romantic myths and legends. Tracing this history helps to better understand the  present need for cultural resress and highlights the need for public history that better acknowledges and communicates colonial constructions of mountains and their legacy.

Los inventarios de depresión (BDI) y ansiedad (BAI) de Beck son de los instrumentos psicométricos más utilizados para el diagnóstico psicoterapéutico e investigaciones de diversas disciplinas. Las estrategias usadas para su aplicación son variadas, así también, su estructura e interpretación pueden ser descritas de formas diversas. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo estudiar la estructura del BAI y del BDI, se realizaron análisis factoriales para la validez de constructo y el coeficiente de Alfa de Cronbach para medir la fiabilidad, en una adaptación del instrumento realizada para ser aplicado de forma virtual en población mexicana. Los resultados corroboran que el modelo egresado del Análisis Exploratorio de Factores (AEF) para el BDI ajusta en el Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio (AFC) a pesar de la eliminación de un ítem que originalmente la escala poseía, siendo éste el llanto. Finalmente, por parte del BAI a pesar de tener una validez de constructo en el AEF, como ocurrió con otras investigaciones, la matriz factorial no se corroboró con el AFC. Los niveles de sintomatología depresiva son mayores en la población femenina que en la masculina, en los niveles severo, moderado y leve, en contraposición al mínimo que fueron los hombres. De la mano, pero hablando de la ansiedad nuevamente en los grupos de magnitud severa y moderado son las mujeres quienes presentan mayor porcentaje, en cambio, en los niveles de leve y mínimo, son los hombres quienes superaron a las mujeres.

El impuesto general a las ventas (IGV), al ser un tipo de impuesto al valor agregado, es el impuesto de mayor recaudación en el Estado Peruano. El presente trabajo de investigación tiene como objetivo analizar el uso del crédito fiscal y su efecto en la liquidez de una empresa comercializadora de fertilizantes en Trujillo, año 2021; tomando como referencia las normas tributarias pertinentes. Se usó una metodología cuantitativa, aplicada y descriptiva, además de tener un diseño no experimental de tipo transversal y usar el análisis documental y los ratios de liquidez. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que, si existe un efecto entre la variable independiente sobre la dependiente, pero dicho efecto es mínimo considerando que la liquidez es relativamente baja -salvo la liquidez absoluta- y cuya variación fue como máximo: En el uso indebido del crédito fiscal,  de 1.6181 a 1.6134 -liquidez total-, de 0.8113 a 0.8086 -liquidez creciente- y de 0.2305 a 0.2292 -liquidez absoluta-; en el uso deficiente del crédito fiscal, de 1.6181 a 1.6191 -liquidez corriente-, de 0.8113 a 0.8119 -liquidez creciente- y de 0.2305 a 0.2308 -liquidez absoluta-. Se considera relevante adoptar políticas para respaldar los gastos con comprobantes de pago y con la documentación necesaria.
Sistema de bombeo para riego mediante ariete hidráulico en sectores aislados de la provincia de Manabí

Published: December 2022

Las características de funcionamiento de la bomba de golpe de ariete (ariete hidráulico) han sido objeto de un estudio analítico mientras se han determinado experimentalmente determinados parámetros. La eficiencia del sistema, la capacidad de bombeo, la potencia de la bomba hidráulica y el tiempo de ciclo se obtuvieron utilizando un modelo numérico simple. La comparación entre los resultados experimentales y los del modelo numérico proporcionó buenas correlaciones con respecto a la eficiencia de la bomba y su caudal. Por otro lado, la potencia hidráulica, así como la duración del ciclo no fueron predichas con mucha precisión, pero fue posible detectar las tendencias. El modelo numérico también mostró que se deben evitar pérdidas altas en las válvulas. Además, la velocidad en la línea de suministro a la que la válvula de rechazo comienza a cerrarse es el factor dominante que controla el funcionamiento del ariete. Finalmente, se demostró que el modelo teórico podría ser utilizado en el diseño de arietes hidráulicos, en la predicción del comportamiento del ariete en una determinada instalación y para la elección de sitios adecuados para el uso de un ariete hidráulico.

El objetivo de este artìculo de investigaciòn fue describir las medidas para ahorrar energía en el hospital de Jipijapa en base a la norma ISO 5001. Para alcanzar este objetivo la presente investigación, se enmarcó dentro del paradigma cualitativo, bajo el enfoque interpretativo, por tanto, será una investigación de tipo documental-bibliográfica. De este modo, los criterios utilizados para la selección del material consultado fueron entre otros, la relación con la temática de investigación, año de publicación desde 2017 hasta la actualidad, relevancia y pertinencia. Por último, el análisis bibliométrico permitió la selección (05) publicaciones científicas, para ser consideradas en el análisis de los resultados dado que se encuentran bajo los criterios de selección antes mencionados. Se concluye que si   bien   el   subsector   Salud   posee   una   participación menor en el consumo final de la energía respecto a otros sectores, este se caracteriza  por  ser  un  servicio público de interés social, que denota un evidente déficit de  gestión,  distribución  de  recursos,  ineficiente  uso  de la  energía  y  problemas  de  habitabilidad  higrotérmica. La implantación de un sistema bajo la Norma ISO 50001 de Eficiencia Energética optimiza el uso correcto de la energía en cualquier centro sanitario.  El conocimiento específico de cada nivel de integración desde el  punto  de  vista  edilicio hospitalario, permite determinar la demanda energética, el   impacto   ambiental   y   los   posibles   potenciales   de ahorro  de  cada  una  de  las  áreas  específicas de  los establecimientos  de  la  red  de  salud.
