Selengen Village is one of the villages in North Lombok Regency that always experiences drought and lack of clean water every year. The problem of clean water availability is caused by limited water sources on the surface. The frequency of rainwater in Selengen Village is very small and with very low intensity. In order to meet the need for clean water, the community has to pay additional costs to buy clean water or wait for a drop from the government. The Selengan Village community has limited information regarding simple methods that can be used to collect clean water sourced from rainwater. The method used to introduce rainwater capture as a source of clean water is to provide direct outreach to the Selengen Village community about rainwater storage in the form of ABSAH (Artificial Aquifer for Rainwater Savings). The ABSAH method can be done individually or in groups. The socialization was carried out at the Panggung Barat Hamlet office involving the community consisting of farmer groups, community leaders, youth organizations and housewives. The result of the socialization regarding the introduction of artificial rainwater aquifers is the high desire of the community to create rainwater storage, either independently/individually or in groups. In the process of making it, the community hopes to get assistance from the implementation team so that the calculation of the storage volume is in accordance with the volume of water used. Apart from that, the community also hopes to be given drawings of storage designs, installations for collecting water from the roofs of houses and designs of distribution networks to people's homes.

As a result of rapid population growth, the Montong Are area in Mandalika Village, Mataram City experienced a change in land use from rice fields to residential land. The main obstacle faced is inadequate drainage due to the low position of the location and the height of the ground water level. Therefore, water often overflows onto the road surface during the rainy season, hampering traffic and causing damage to infrastructure. Water runoff can be reduced and drainage can be improved with the use of low-tech solutions such as biopores. Biopores outreach and training is needed to build a sustainable housing environment and reduce the negative impact of water runoff on road infrastructure. The stages of socialization activities include: Preliminary Survey; Preparation for implementation; Implementation of Socialization; evaluation stage; and Preparation of Reports and Outputs. The socialization activity began with the delivery of material about biopores and discussion, followed by a demonstration on how to make biopores. The community has been successfully educated about biopores and their function in absorbing rainwater into the soil and reducing the possibility of erosion and flooding. The community was very enthusiastic about taking part in the socialization of biopores making activities considering its benefits for use in road maintenance activities. The knowledge gained can increase public awareness of utilizing this concept as a solution that can be applied to overcome the problem of runoff and flooding on the road surface. So that people can actively participate in the construction and maintenance of biopores around where they live because of the benefits they experience
Uso de dispositivos móviles como herramienta de evaluación en tiempo real del aprendizaje
Authors: Rial Costa Manuel , Rial Costa Sandra , Sánchez Oropeza Gregorio
Published: June 2024

El confinamiento escolar por COVID19 constató la necesidad del uso de dispositivos móviles que facilitasen y permitiesen un normal discurrir de los PPEA en la educación. También sirvió para constatar que no todos los escolares podían, por diversos motivos, acceder a los mismos, de ahí que la administración educativa tuviese que intervenir para proporcionar a los escolares y facilitar a las familias herramientas tales como Tablet, ordenadores portátiles y puntos de acceso Wi-Fi. A pesar de esto y dada la tardanza en actuar, muchos docentes y familias han optado por incluir los Smartphone como dispositivos usables con el fin de normalizar la situación, facilitando de esta forma el ejercicio de sus funciones, algo que choca con las disposiciones y directrices legislativas y de los centros que rechazan dichos dispositivos como herramientas escolares. Un estudio dirigido a la comunidad docente ha servido para mostrar el rechazo previo y una apuesta de futuro sobre dicha tecnología, tras una implantación y puesta en valor puntual. Y es que el docente es consciente de que la situación vivida, puede repetirse en cualquier momento y sin previo aviso, para lo cual precisa estar no sólo en alerta sino también formado y dispuesto a utilizarlas.

Published: June 2024

This research explores the hydrodynamic processes within the flow section of a low-flow thermopressor as a jet-type heat exchanger that utilizes the instantaneous evaporation of highly dispersed liquid in accelerated superheated gas flow resulting in reducing gas temperature with minimum resistance losses in contrast to conventional surface heat exchanger. The efficiency of thermopressor, as a contact heat exchanger, is highly dependent on the design of the flow section and the water injection nozzle. Geometric characteristics perform a crucial role in shaping gas-dynamic processes along the length of the thermopressor's flow section, influenced by resistance losses and local resistance in the tapering and expanding channel segments. Therefore, the optimum thermopressor design has to ensure minimize pressure losses. Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), the prototype thermopressor models were simulated and the results were compared with experimental data. The empirical equations for local resistance coefficients of thermopressor diffuser and confuser were received to evaluate the impact of various design parameters. The obtained local resistance coefficients for the confuser ranged from 0.02 to 0.08 and for the diffuser – from 0.08 to 0.32. The practical recommendations on geometric and operating parameters and characteristics for enhancing the efficiency of hydrodynamic processes in thermopressor flow part were given.

Authors: Zermout Abdelaziz , Belaıdı Hadjira , Maache Ahmed
Published: June 2024

Numerous approaches and methodologies have been established for online (while the load is supplied) estimation of the State-of-Charge of Lithium-ion cells and batteries. However, as battery load consumption fluctuates in real time because of delivered device operations, obtaining a precise online state of charge estimation remains a challenging task. This work proposes a new technique for online open circuit voltage measurement to estimate state of charge of batteries. This novel technique proposes the addition of an auxiliary regulated load that may be utilized to temporarily force specifically defined forms of the battery's current curve under particular conditions, which results in improving and simplifying online open circuit voltage computations. The effectiveness of the proposed technique was successfully validated through several experimental tests. The acquired findings demonstrated its efficiency with an acceptable online state of charge estimation accuracy. Typically, an estimation error of less than 2% was recorded in most tests, while the error was less than 1% when the battery’s state of charge was high.

Contraception has become a major strategy of population control both at the national and global level, yet population growth in Nigeria remains high especially in rural areas due to partly lack of adequate knowledge and poor perception about the need to utilize contraception methods. The aim and objectives of this study is to assess the attitude and perception of women toward contraception in Gadaka town, to identify the distance covered in accessing contraception services, to assess the level of women education toward contraception. The study seeks to examine the perception of women and attitude toward contraception in Gadaka town. The study adopted qualitative approach which includes a survey of 100 randomly selected women from the community; the qualitative data were analyzed using contents analysis. The findings reveal that majority of the women interviewed are aware of contraception, the level of practices is higher especially among the educated women and this implies the positive among the education and practices of contraception. The distance covered in accessing contraception services as shown in table indicated that 20 respondents representing 40% are closed to the health center less than (one) 1 km and 13 respondents 26% 1 to 2 km close to the contraception centres. The study also reveals that women perceived contraception as a welcomed strategy to control population and make mother's healthy and strong after child birth. The conclusion to be drawn from this study is, however that of acceptance of contraception that education plays vital role in the perception of women and attitude toward contraception. Finally, to change a society like this with depth of poverty, certain guidelines should be followed to bring about awareness of contraception among the people and reconstruct their attitudes towards birth control programme

Published: June 2024

The objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between lead levels, body mass index, and social environment with the incidence of anemia in adolescent girls, both individually and simultaneously. The study aims to maintain a balanced and objective approach, avoiding biased language and employing precise word choice. The language used is formal and clear, with a logical structure and causal connections between statements. The text adheres to conventional academic structure and formatting, including consistent citation and footnote style. No changes in content have been made, and technical term abbreviations have been explained when first used. The research data was collected using digital measuring instruments and questionnaires and then analyzed univariately and bivariately. The study results indicate that lead (Pb) levels in hair, body mass index (BMI), and social environment are significantly related to the incidence of anemia in adolescent girls, both partially and simultaneously. Specifically, lead levels in hair have a negative correlation with the incidence of anemia in adolescent girls. As lead levels in hair increase, hemoglobin values decrease, and the level of anemia in adolescent girls falls into the severe anemia category. However, it is worth noting that BMI and social environment are positively correlated with anemia in adolescent girls. This means that higher BMI and a better social environment are associated with higher hemoglobin levels in the blood, resulting in a lower prevalence of anemia in adolescent girls. Additionally, all three independent variables are related to the dependent variable by 32.60%. This study found that lead levels in hair, BMI, and social environment account for 32.60% of anemia in young women. The remaining 67.40% is attributed to other variables not included in this study.
A simplified model for predicting ventricular hypertrophy than traditional methods
Authors: Aditya Santra  , Shuvangi Shaw  , Tarak Das
Published: June 2024

Ventricular hypertrophy is the thickening of the muscles in the ventricular chambers of the heart which stiffens and thickens the cardiac walls giving rise to many complications like arrhythmia, high blood pressure, or even heart failure. One of the ways to diagnose ventricular hypertrophy is through an Echocardiogram which can be predicted by the positive large amplitude of Chest Leads [V4–V6] of an Electrocardiogram (ECG). But chest lead application is one of the complicated more parts of the ECG than limb lead. Here we have tried to predict ventricular hypertrophy with bipolar limb lead electrocardiogram [L-I, L-II & L-III] without any chest leads which can be easily designed to make an ECG prototype instead of any sophisticated instruments to increase its global accessibility even in remote areas for the prediction of ventricular hypertrophy even may be for other diagnosis in future. We acquired electrocardiogram data sets from the physio-net database, specifically collected data from both normal and hypertrophic patients in an institute. These data sets were obtained using the same recording device. The Lead-I of the RVH and normal patients were not satisfactorily distinguishable. However, in this work, it has been established that Lead-I can be used to predict for identification of LVH patients.

Next-generation antennas key enabler: Intelligent Reflecting Surfaces (IRS) technology potential to address limitations of traditional antennas
Authors: Kylin Bocalan Felizardo  , Edwin Romeroso Arboleda
Published: June 2024

This review explores the potential of Intelligent Reflecting Surfaces (IRS) to address limitations of traditional antennas and empower next-generation wireless networks. IRS technology offers a paradigm shift by passively manipulating radio waves, enhancing signal coverage, network capacity, and energy efficiency. IRS technology utilizes flat surfaces equipped with tiny, adjustable reflectors. Unlike traditional antennas that actively send and receive radio waves, IRS passively manipulates incoming signals by reflecting them in specific directions with controlled adjustments. This approach significantly improves signal coverage and strength, particularly in areas with poor reception. The review reveals the IRS technology offers significant advantages over traditional antennas. It can enhance signal coverage by reflecting radio waves, boost network capacity which allows networks to handle a larger number of users simultaneously, promote lower energy consumption compare, and unlock potential of 6G Networks and beyond. Additionally, IRS enables functionalities such as enhanced localization and ultra-fast data transfer. Integrating IRS with next-generation antennas unlocks new possibilities. This includes reconfigurable antennas that dynamically adjust radiation patterns, compact and low-profile designs, and multi-functional antennas that support various services simultaneously. In conclusion, this paves the way for a new generation of robust and sustainable wireless communication systems.

Authors: Akondji Bainakofota Dieudonné  , Angoyo Manvota Jacques  , Menga Nongo José  , Assani Ramazani Raymond
Published: June 2024

Introduction: The aim of the study was to determine the reasons for medical errors committed by health professionals in hospitals in the city of Kisangani, to demonstrate the legal instruments on which Congolese law relies to protect patients in the event of medical error, to identify the modes of reparation reserved for victims of medical error in the jurisdictions of the city of Kisangani and the Province of Tshopo, and to report on the progress of the study. Methodology: The study took place in the city of Kisangani and was based on two methods. Firstly, the interrogative method, using interview techniques based on a pre-established questionnaire, which enabled us to collect information from health professionals, victims of misconduct and legal actors. Secondly, the documentary method, which enabled us to collect data from the Simama Functional Rehabilitation Centre in Kisangani on the files of victims of medical misconduct, and from the Kisangani High Court for cases that had been tried. Results: Poor concentration (accumulation, etc.), overwork and lack of knowledge of the procedure to be performed are the most frequent causes of malpractice, accounting for 35.1%, 26.3 and 13.9% of cases respectively. Book II of the Penal Code and the law on the protection of children (tied at 100%) are the main laws protecting patients from medical malpractice, the law protecting people living with HIV (65.6%) and the Congolese Civil Code, Book III (56.3%). Lastly, the Constitution of the DR Congo of 18 February 2006 and the Decree of 19 March 1952 (tied at 31.3%) complete the legal arsenal of Congolese laws protecting patients. Conclusion: In the DRC, the issue of medical errors represents a real challenge for society. The human, social and economic consequences are dramatically underestimated. In Kinshasa and elsewhere, people are dying as a result of errors made by medical staff.

Introduction: The health system in the Democratic Republic of Congo lacks sufficient skills and funding. The decentralization of the health system, following the reform of the intermediate level initiated by the government of the Democratic Republic of Congo, has not yet succeeded in improving Human Resource Management in the health sector in Maniema. Methodology: The inductive approach was used, with recourse to the survey method. This facilitated the collection of information on the knowledge, attitudes and practices of the strategies (effects/impacts) on health system reform, the single contract and the provincial approach. The qualitative survey used an active participatory method. Thus, the use of an attitude questionnaire or opinionnaire as an investigative tool seemed the logical way to gather information on the opinions, interests, values and attitudes of the interviewees. Documentary analysis enabled us to collect other information to complement that gathered by the survey. Results: After analyzing the data, we arrived at the following results: 1. the single contract has provided a certain solution to the problem of planning the use of resources for certain actors and Technical and Financial Partners. However, most participants had reported that funding for specialized programs is still managed by the national authority; 2. some partners remain locked into the vertical programs of the Technical and Financial Partners, abandoning other programs that need funding to operate; 3. the single contract approach has not improved the remuneration of members of the Provincial Health Division, most of whom live on state bonuses. Conclusion: Reform is one way of improving the performance of healthcare systems. In countries where health systems are heavily dependent on international aid, reform would make it possible to centralize aid and transparently finance the development or action plans of the health systems concerned.

This retrospective study examines early growth patterns in children diagnosed with Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD) during childhood. It highlights the significance of early detection and intervention in managing GHD. Introduction: Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD) in early childhood significantly impacts physical development. However, the early growth patterns associated with GHD are not well understood. This retrospective study evaluates the growth trajectories of children diagnosed with GHD, underscoring the critical need for early detection and intervention. Objectives: The study aims to: Characterize the early growth patterns (Length and Weight Standard Deviation Scores, LTSDS and WTSDS) of children diagnosed with GHD. Evaluate the impact of parental heights on these growth outcomes. Synthesize existing research on GHD growth trajectories. Examine the benefits of early diagnosis. Advocate for enhanced screening and monitoring protocols. Methods: This retrospective analysis involved reviewing medical records from a regional pediatric endocrinology clinic, focusing on children diagnosed with GHD between 2010 and 2020. The study cohort comprised children who were diagnosed at an average age of 5.2 years (SD = ±1.1 years). Results: Data from 25 children diagnosed with GHD revealed a consistent negative trend in both LTSDS and WTSDS from birth to 48 months. When compared to WHO growth standards, these children showed a persistent lag in growth, with the most significant deviations occurring between birth and 24 months. Discussion: The findings highlight the variability in early growth patterns among children with GHD and the potential risks of misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis due to subtle early symptoms. Prompt diagnosis followed by early intervention is crucial for improving long-term growth and developmental outcomes. Conclusion: This retrospective analysis confirms that early growth faltering in children with GHD is profound, underscoring the need for early and proactive monitoring. The study advocates for standardized growth tracking protocols, enhanced awareness programs, and expedited referrals for endocrinological assessments to optimize treatment outcomes.

Büszkeség és hübrisz Orbán Viktor 2022-es kampánykommunikációjában
Authors: Kiss Balázs
Published: June 2024

A magyar jobboldal 2022-es választási sikerének a tényezői közül a tanulmány a miniszterelnök közösségimédia-beli kampánykommunikációját vizsgálja. Milyen módon instrumentalizált Orbán Viktor két szubjektíve pozitív önértékelő érzelmet, éspedig a büszkeséget és a hübriszt, avégett, hogy megerősítse és kiterjessze a támogatóinak a körét? Milyen történésekkel és kiknek a teljesítményével kapcsolatban mutatott és ajánlott a miniszterelnök büszkeséget lehetséges és valóságos híveinek, mely pontokon és milyen tényezők következtében csapott át a büszkeség hübriszbe, tehát valamiféle kritikátlan büszkeségbe és elégedettségbe? Ezzel összefüggő témája a tanulmánynak a morálkommunikáció viszonya az Orbán Viktorral kapcsolatban közhellyé vált populizmushoz, valamint az, hogy milyen szerepet játszhatott az ukrajnai háború eszkalációja a jobboldali sikerben. Az eredmények szerint a miniszterelnök kommunikációja legfeljebb technopopulistának minősíthető, a háború pedig annak a lehetőségét teremtette meg a politikus számára, hogy konkrét szakpolitikai eredmények és ígéretek helyett globális regiszterben kommunikáljon: a nemzet fenyegetettségének elhárításában korábban szerzett tapasztalatait sorakoztassa fel.
