Published: July 2024

Structured methods for the methodical re-alignment of professional education programs are needed for the comprehensive integration of the human workforce in digital and sustainable manufacturing and logistics systems. It is believed that investing in engineering education is essential to the advancement of both industry and society. Future engineers, though, will need more than simply a solid foundation in technology. The focus on competence-orientation is often neglected, particularly in the field of Industrial Engineering (IE), and empirically proven success criteria that support the holistic reorientation of engineering education are usually studied. The authors of this work perform a thorough literature review on engineering education, focusing on competence-based engineering education within the field of IE. Additionally, the writers offer beneficial implications for the competence-based for Industrial Engineering students and lectures writings.

Published: July 2024

Initially, exports were perceived as the prestige and dignity of a nation. However, in terms of terminology, the essence of export flows is complementarity between countries, where each party has advantages, competition and excess production of a particular product to offer. The orientation of this study is to examine the relationship between tobacco exports, coffee exports, and wine exports to GDP growth in Italy–Indonesia. There are key variables which are divided into two case studies including tobacco export volume, FoB on tobacco exports, coffee export volume, FoB on coffee exports, green grape export volume, CIF on green grape exports, red wine export volume, CIF on red wine exports, GDP share of agriculture in Indonesia and Italy. The fundamental difference in wine exports from the two is that Indonesia uses green grapes and for Italy it uses red wine. The method is set through a panel data regression approach and samples for the 2013–2021. The econometric results explain that tobacco exports and coffee exports have a significant effect on the GDP share of agriculture in Indonesia–Italy. Likewise, CIF on exports of green grapes and red wines which have a significant effect on the GDP share of agriculture in both nations. These findings inspire more urgent implications for the topic of agricultural commodity exports and become an integrated whole.

Published: July 2024

Collective efforts are recommended in order to ensure that dairy workers have equal employment opportunity and a comparable wage structure. The government should provide support in terms of technology upgrade and services infrastructure. There is high level of participation among women in indoor activities such as feeding animals, providing water, cleaning sheds, milking, and processing milk products. Nevertheless, their participation in outdoor activities, including fodder cutting and marketing milk and milk products, is low since mobility is restricted, technical skill is limited, patriarchal, social, cultural, and religious constraints are present. There was a wide variation in the participation of men and women in dairy activities based on household categories (apart from landholding sizes). Family members across the households had difficulty communicating with one another. Among participants in the study, there was a weak correlation between their participation in the study and the improvement of their livelihoods.

Published: July 2024

With the current pandemic sweeping the world, science and medicine are up against enemies they have never faced before or opponents that are weaker than themselves—viruses and finally other biotic beings. Researchers are working to detect and eradicate COVID-19 variants, but opportunistic fungal infections caused by other innocuous species are rearing their ugly heads. Mucorale species cause mucormycosis, sometimes known as "Black Fungus," an aggressive opportunistic fungal illness. It spreads via blood vessels and causes necrosis, ischemia, and thrombosis. Particularly vulnerable are those who already have immunosuppressive conditions, such as diabetes mellitus, cancer, or long-term immunosuppressive pharmaceutical use.Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)-associated mucormycosis proved to be devastating because of its high death rate.Since the primary care physician is often the patient's first and often their only point of contact with a healthcare professional (especially in poor nations), they are vital to the diagnosis and treatment of this illness. To reduce mortality, early detection and diagnosis are crucial, as are preventative measures to halt the growth of the brain. A multidisciplinary approach from several professions is necessary for effective diagnosis and treatment. Surgical debridement, antifungal treatment, and excision of the affected regions are the protocols that need to be followed. Post-operative anomalies result in impairments related to phonetics, function, and appearance. Positive outcomes have been observed in congenital abnormality prosthetic rehabilitation, especially in elderly and immunocompromised individuals.

Published: July 2024

This study aims to develop a combined Moving Average - Exponentially Weighted Moving Average Control Chart with standard deviation based (MA-EWMAS chart) that can be used to identify changes in standard deviation in processes under a normal distribution. The average run length (ARL), standard deviation of run length (SRL), and median run length (MRL) are used to compare the performance of the proposed control chart with S, MAS, and EWMAS control charts. This benchmark is assessed using Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. Furthermore, actual data is used to apply the suggested control charts. For all levels of variation, the recommended control chart outperforms S, MAS, and EWMAS control charts in terms of detection performance, as indicated by the performance comparison results. Additionally, the MA-EWMAS chart demonstrates superior performance in managing process variability for moderate and large subgroup sizes across all magnitudes of shift parameters. One way to assess the control chart's effectiveness is to apply the suggested chart to track the fruit juice and wafer coating production process and verify that it complies with standards. The results of the simulations were found to align with the actual data.
Octavia E. Butler’ın Yakın Romanında Siyah Feminizm ve ‘Yabancı’ Unsurlar Özelinde Aktivist Bir Çevirinin Yeniden Okunması
Authors: Gülen Özlem
Published: July 2024

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Octavia E. Butler’ın Yakın (Kindred) romanı üzerinden siyah feminizmin, bilinmediği bir kültüre aktarımında aktivist çevirinin işlevini ortaya koymaktır. Çalışmada romanın yazarı ve içeriğinin aktivist yönünün yanı sıra çevirmeni Emek Ergun’un feminist çevirmen kimliği göz önüne alınarak metinsel ve yan metinsel olarak iki farklı düzeyde çeviri eleştirisi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çevirmenin önsözünde üzerine durduğu ‘yabancılık’ vurgusu, romanın detaylı okuması sırasında da en dikkat çekici yönlerden biri olarak görülmüş ve romanın çevirisinde benimsendiği gözlemlenen aktivist çeviri yaklaşımı, yabancı unsurlar özelinde ele alınmıştır. Bu unsurlar arasından seçilen çeviri örnekleri sosyo-politik arka plan, dildeki ayrımcı kalıplar ve sembolik referanslar kategorileri altında gruplandırılmış ve her bir kategorinin altına yerleştirilen örnekler, aktivist çeviri yaklaşımı çerçevesinde yorumlanmıştır. Yapılan değerlendirmeler sonucunda Yakın (Kindred) romanının, aktivist bir çevirmenin aktivist bir yazar ile kurduğu iş birliğinin önemli bir örneği olduğu görülmüştür. Siyah feminist aktivizmin farklı bir coğrafyada duyulması ve desteklenmesi için çevirmenin uyguladığı aktivist çeviri kararlarının, romanın ‘yabancılığının’ muhafaza edilmesine ve aynı zamanda, erek okuyucunun bu ‘yabancılığı’ anlamasına ve desteklemesine aracılık etmeyi amaçladığı gözlemlenmiştir. Bu çerçevede çevirmenin dengeli bir şekilde uyguladığı farklı çeviri stratejileri saptanmıştır. Çevirmenin yazdığı yan metinler ve uyguladığı metin içi çeviri kararlarının, çevirmenin görünürlüğünü ve aktivizmini güçlendirirken romanın çevirisini de ulusötesi bir feminist aktivizm ve dayanışmanın çeviri bağlamındaki önemli örneklerinden biri haline getirdiği sonucuna varılmıştır.

Published: July 2024

Thanks to their simple synthesis, controlled physical properties, and minimal toxicity, iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) are widely used in many biomedical applications (bioimaging, drug delivery, biosensors, diagnostics, theranostics, etc.). However, the use of NPs does not preclude the possibility of some selective toxicity and undesirable effects, including their accumulation in tissues and direct interaction with specific biological targets. This study evaluated the biocompatibility of Fe3O4 NPs, Teucrium polium (T. polium) extract, rutin, and their complexes on the liver tissue of healthy white Wistar rats.The impact profile of the synthesized Fe3O4 NPs (15 ± 4 nm), rutin, T. polium extract, and their complexes on biochemical markers of liver function (ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, HDL, LDL, total cholesterol, total protein, albumin) and morphological indicators of rat liver was investigated. Fe3O4 NPs, rutin, and T. polium extract do not have direct hepatotoxicity when administered i/p to rats, unlike their complexes. All agents exert a hypolipidemic effect by lowering LDL, despite maintaining the synthetic functions of the liver. Fe3O4 NPs increase the activity of GPO, which is associated with their peroxidase-like properties. A multifaceted and diverse mechanism of action of all studied samples on the liver of Wistar rats was identified.
Assessment of the accuracy of determining the Caspian Sea surface temperature by Landsat-5, -7 satellites based on the measurements of drifters

Published: July 2024

One of the main parameters which determines the state of aquatic ecosystems is water temperature. Determination of the temperature of the underlying surface by remote sensing methods is carried out using scanning in the infrared range of spectrum. Many researchers have faced the issue of uncertainty in the sea surface temperature (SST) determination from remote sensing data. As part of the study of climatic variability of the thermohydrodynamic regime of the Caspian Sea based on remote sensing data, studies were carried out to refine algorithms for calculating SST using data from Landsat-5 and Landsat-7 satellite products. A correct determination of the SST is crucial for monitoring thermal and ice regime of the Caspian Sea, evaporation rates, algal bloom events, ecosystem functioning, stocks status of Caspian sturgeon, ctenophore invasion, and even the rate of evaporation of oil spills at the sea surface, which have their own negative impact on the Caspian Sea ecosystem. To calibrate satellite data, in-situ measurements of SST at SVPB drifters deployed in the Caspian Sea in 2006-2008 were used. Synchronous sub-satellite measurements of SST were selected and compared with satellite data obtained from thermal channels of Landsat-5 and Landsat-7 (Level-1 and Level-2 products from Collection 2). The results of this study allow us to recommend using SST obtained from the Landsat Level-2 product with a correction of +1°C. The study also evaluates the possible error when using brightness temperature at the upper boundary of the atmosphere obtained from Landsat Level-1 product data. These data do not take into account the influence of the atmosphere and the state of underlying surface. In this case, the average error in determining SST was significantly higher; for the Caspian Sea it was 5.1°C.

PROPOSTA PARA O ESTUDO DA RELAÇÃO ENTRE A VARIAÇÃO DA RESISTÊNCIA ELÉTRICA DE UM RESISTOR DEPENDENTE DE LUZ E O COMPRIMENTO DE ONDA DA RADIAÇÃO INCIDENTE A SER UTILIZADA NO ENSINO DE MATERIAIS
Authors: Santos Cochiran Pereira dos , Souza Walisson de Jesus , Dossi Fábio Cleisto Alda , Santos Adriana de Jesus
Published: July 2024

O objetivo desse trabalho é propor um experimento a ser utilizado no ensino de materiais para se observar a relação entre a variação da resistência elétrica de um resistor dependente de luz (LDR) por meio de diferentes comprimentos de onda incidentes e, com isso, determinar de que material semicondutor esse componente é constituído, tendo como base as curvas de resposta espectral disponibilizadas por seus fabricantes. O LDR é um tipo especial de resistor fabricado a partir de materiais semicondutores com propriedades especiais que liberam elétrons da banda de valência para a banda de condução quando há incidência de luz sobre ele, efeito chamado de fotocondutividade, e a maioria desses componentes operam no espectro visível e no infravermelho próximo. Demonstram elevados valores de resistência em um ambiente escuro, que pode chegar a milhões de ohms e, quando exposto à luz, tem a condutividade aumentada, registrando valores que tendem a zero ohm. O efeito de diminuição da resistência depende da intensidade e do comprimento de onda da radiação que o atinge. Sendo assim, incidimos em um LDR diferentes comprimentos de onda (infravermelho, vermelho, verde, azul e UV-violeta) e medimos a resistência elétrica em função da distância (intensidade) e da cor da luz utilizada. Os resultados demonstraram que o LDR em questão possui maior sensibilidade à variação de luminosidade referente ao comprimento de onda de 540 nm e, segundo comparação com as curvas de resposta espectral do fabricante, ele é constituído de sulfeto de cádmio (CdS). Dessa forma, o experimento se mostrou eficiente ao objetivo proposto de utilizá-lo no ensino de materiais para alunos dos cursos de graduação e pós-graduação em ciência e engenharia de materiais.

Entende-se como manufatura aditiva à deposição de materiais camada por camada. Contudo, este processo de fabricação cresce a cada ano por produzir peças complexas que por outros métodos não seria possível, ou necessitaria de outras etapas para chegar ao produto final. Dessa forma, a impressão 3D supre essa demanda, bem como na economia de matéria-prima para a fabricação, já que ao adicionar material camada por camada, a peça está pronta para uso, ou semipronta, dependendo o acabamento final desejado. Contudo, para iniciar um trabalho de deposição, um substrato é necessário. Normalmente, utiliza-se um material com características similares ao metal de deposição. Assim, este estudo tem como objetivo entender a zona de transição entre material de base e material depositado. Como metal de base, adotou-se o aço SAE 1020 e, para deposição será utilizado o arame de soldadura ER70S-6, arame este com baixo teor de carbono. Para fabricação das amostras utilizou-se uma máquina de soldagem da fabricante IMC, e um dispositivo de coordenadas CNC (Centro Numérico Computadorizado). O dispositivo de soldagem por sua vez, possui uma ferramenta de aquisição de dados capaz de coletar os parâmetros de soldagem em tempo real e transformá-los em gráficos. Portanto, após impressão das amostras, análise metalográfica para compreender a estrutura resultante, e ensaio de microdureza Vickers foram realizados. A análise metalográfica por sua vez, apresentou poros na estrutura do material manufaturado, o que pode prejudicar a aplicação final da peça, concomitantemente, a região de fronteira apresentou uma quantidade menor do microconstituinte perlita comparado ao metal de base, o que devido ao aporte térmico pode ter migrado para o metal adicionado, explicando assim, o aumento de dureza nesta região. No entanto, a análise química com auxílio de um espectrômetro indicou que a quantidade de carbono para ambos os materiais é similar. Porém, o arame ER70S-6 possui um teor de manganês de 1,259%, o que pode ter influenciado no aumento de dureza. Assim, o aço SAE 1020 apresentou uma microdureza de 119 ± 2 HV, e o arame ER70S-6 apresentou 170 ± 4 HV.

Published: July 2024

Abstract Nylon crystals are high-performance fibers that can considerably improve the concrete’s crack resistance and tensile strength. However, the effectiveness and long-term performance of nylon crystal reinforced geopolymer concrete pavements must be thoroughly investigated. Therefore, this study investigated the influence of incorporating fly ash (FA), ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), alkaline liquids (Na2SiO3 and NaOH) and nylon crystal reinforcement on the compressive strength, flexural strength and split tensile strength of geopolymer concrete pavement (GPC). The durability and water absorption of the above combination were also evaluated. Based on the results, improved compressive strength, flexural strength, splitting tensile strength, water absorption, and durability are present in the GPC+3%NC blend after 28 days. These enhancements are crucial for reducing the ecological effect related by production of cement. The utilization of nylon crystal reinforcement further enhances the sustainability of the pavement system by reducing the material and energy requirements compared to traditional reinforcement methods.

Digital information technology has had a great impact on human life in many aspects. It is growing rapidly and becoming an important part of everyday life. Based on these requirements, this pilot study was conducted to identify the reliability of the instrument to measure the use of information technology during the process of meditating on the Quran among students of the Institute of Higher Studies at the Islamic University of Selangor (UIS). Since university students are the future human capital of the country and the link to the previous generation of the Muslim community, it is necessary to study and appreciate the true Quran according to the Quran and Sunnah. This study is based on a quantitative research design and the method used is stratified random sampling with a sample size of 35 Muslim students from the Islamic University of Selangor (UIS). The research instrument used is a questionnaire. The use of digital questionnaires that is "google form" allows data to be collected and analyzed easily and quickly. Research on previous studies was done to build instruments in this study. The value of the cronbach alpha coefficient for tadabbur al-Quran and information technology is 0.90 which is at a very high value. Thus, variable reliability of this instrument is acceptable. Research data was analyzed using IBM "Statistical Package of Social Science" (SPSS) version 29 to evaluate frequency, percentage and average. The results obtained show that the practice of memorizing the Quran using information technology among students is at a medium-high level. Thus, technology-based digital learning enables learning the Quran and daily tasks to be more personal and effective. However, the goals and objectives require improvements in order to help the process of reciting the Quran more systematic to achieve the goals and results of reciting the Quran.

Accurate Prediction of Heart Disease Using Machine Learning: A Case Study on the Cleveland Dataset
Authors: Suryawanshi Nikhil Sanjay
Published: July 2024

Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, with diagnosis and treatment presenting significant challenges, particularly in developing nations. These challenges stem from the scarcity of effective diagnostic tools, a lack of qualified medical personnel, and other factors that hinder good patient prognosis and treatment. The rise in cardiac disorders, despite their preventability, is primarily due to inadequate preventive measures and a shortage of skilled medical providers. In this study, we propose a novel approach to enhance the accuracy of cardiovascular disease prediction by identifying critical features using advanced machine learning techniques. Utilizing the Cleveland Heart Disease dataset, we explore various feature combinations and implement multiple well-known classification strategies. By integrating a Voting Classifier ensemble, which combines Logistic Regression, Gradient Boosting, and Support Vector Machine (SVM) models, we create a robust prediction model for heart disease. This hybrid approach achieves a remarkable accuracy level of 97.9%, significantly improving the precision of cardiovascular disease prediction and offering a valuable tool for early diagnosis and treatment.

The incorporation of new digital technologies into the small business environment has led to the emergence of new potential threats and risks. The impact of cybercrime on the operational effectiveness and performance of business entities is a major challenge. Each year, billions of dollars are lost to cybercrime. In order to address this issue, SMEs have invested heavily in cyber-security protocols. In this study, we aimed to analyze the various factors that influence cyber security readiness among SMEs in the greater Mogadishu area. Specifically, we looked at how management support and resource factors, as well as regulatory factors, affect cyber security readiness among small and medium enterprises in Somalia. The methodology of the study was based on a positivistic approach with descriptive research. The sample size was all operational SMEs in the city of Mogadishu. The respondents were either ICT managers or IT security or other IT professional. A structured research questionnaire was employed to facilitate the collection of data. This was supplemented by the use of Google forms and, where feasible, actual data collection. The analysis of the data was conducted through the utilization of descriptive metrics, correlations and regression, which were presented in the form of tables. The findings of the study revealed a positive relationship between the level of management support, resource and regulatory factors in relation to cyber Security readiness and performance in the city of Mogadishu, indicating a positive correlation. The overall regression showed that the above-mentioned factors play a significant role in the cyber Security status of the SMEs in Mogadishu. In order for SMEs to become more cyber security prepared, the findings of the study indicate that organizations must be adequately prepared to allocate significant financial and technological resources to cover the considerable expenses associated with the pursuit of cyber security status. The study also advises managers to coordinate security choices with organizational objectives and capabilities to lessen imbalances that might prevent the effective application of cyber security measures. Finally, the study recommends that SME policy makers should assess the readiness of the industry and create a set of norms and standards that all firms can meet, as this would support cyber security preparedness and performance.
