Dynamic Analysis of Planar Mechanism in Numerical Methods
Authors: Thanh Nhan Phan
Published: August 2024

In kinematic synthesis and analysis of planar mechanisms the designer must define a geometry and set of motions for a design task. Then it is logical to determine the forces or torques in order to create such motion in the system, which means finding out a convenient approach to solving for the forces and torques that result from our kinematic system in such a way as to provide the designed accelerations. This task is called dynamic force analysis (or kinetic analysis). Many numerical methods to determine the position, velocity, and acceleration of a planar mechanism are introduced and applied successfully, for example, using the transformation matrix. To solve fully kinetic problems for a planar mechanism, it is necessary to establish a simple and easy procedure that determines the forces or torques maintaining the motion in the system with the help of a computer. This paper will focus on how to determine the forces or torques acting on the planar mechanism by numerical method when acceleration and dynamic properties of the linkage are known. Some of the chosen examples shown here aim to demonstrate in detail the numerical solution for dynamic force analysis. The paper’s purpose is not to demonstrate novelty, but to propose a new approach that can be applied to machinery design projects for students. University students can consult the content of this paper to carry out kinematic and kinetic analysis of planar mechanisms using this numerical method, as opposed to the traditional vector drawing method that is widely used.

Published: August 2024

The study conducted on the air quality of five highly polluted cities in India over the last five years (2015-2020) sheds light on the detrimental effects of air pollution and the need for monitoring and mitigation. The research focused on six major air pollutants: PM2.5, NO, NO2, NOX, CO, and SO2. The study's findings reveal that the concentrations of these air pollutants consistently exceeded the limits set by the National Ambient Air Quality Standards 2009 and the World Health Organization's Ambient Air Quality Standards. This indicates that the air quality in these cities was consistently poor and posed a significant health risk to the population. The study emphasises that certain subpopulations, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with pre-existing health conditions like asthma, are more vulnerable to the harmful effects of air pollutants. Elevated levels of pollutants in the air can lead to severe health effects and contribute to the development of serious diseases. Furthermore, the study highlights that the air quality significantly improved in 2020 due to the nationwide lockdown imposed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The restrictions on mobility and industrial activities resulted in reduced emissions, leading to a temporary improvement in air quality. These conclusions underscore the critical importance of understanding the harmful effects of air pollutants and taking measures to protect human health and preserve the quality of the environment.

A colecistite aguda (CA) é uma inflamação súbita da vesícula biliar, frequentemente causada por obstrução do ducto cístico devido a cálculos biliares, que podem levar a complicações graves como infecção e perfuração. Este quadro clínico geralmente se manifesta com dor abdominal no quadrante superior direito, febre e náuseas. O diagnóstico é baseado em sinais clínicos, exames laboratoriais e, principalmente, na ultrassonografia abdominal, que permite identificar a presença de cálculos e sinais de inflamação da vesícula biliar. O tratamento conservador é apropriado para a maioria dos pacientes e envolve o uso de antibióticos para tratar a infecção e medicamentos para o controle da dor e da inflamação. No entanto, em casos mais graves ou complicados, a colecistectomia laparoscópica se torna a intervenção de escolha, permitindo a remoção da vesícula biliar e oferecendo uma solução eficaz para a condição. A cirurgia é geralmente segura e menos invasiva em comparação com procedimentos abertos, resultando em uma recuperação mais rápida e menos complicada. O manejo pós-operatório inclui monitoramento para possíveis complicações e recomendações dietéticas para facilitar a recuperação. A educação do paciente e a prevenção de episódios futuros são cruciais para minimizar o risco de recorrência e melhorar a qualidade de vida. Estudos recentes têm mostrado que novas abordagens no tratamento conservador e avanços na técnica cirúrgica podem oferecer melhores resultados e menos complicações. A adesão a protocolos baseados em evidências e a integração de novas tecnologias no diagnóstico e tratamento têm contribuído significativamente para a melhoria dos desfechos clínicos.

A isquemia mesentérica aguda (IMA) é uma condição crítica que afeta a irrigação sanguínea do intestino delgado e grosso, com alta taxa de mortalidade se não diagnosticada e tratada prontamente. Epidemiologicamente, a IMA é mais comum em idosos e está frequentemente associada a comorbidades como doenças cardiovasculares e diabetes. Fatores de risco incluem a trombose venosa mesentérica, embolia arterial, e estenose das artérias mesentéricas, que podem ocorrer devido a condições como fibrilação atrial e aterosclerose. A fisiopatologia da IMA envolve a interrupção do fluxo sanguíneo para o intestino, levando a uma cascata de eventos que incluem a hipóxia tecidual, necrose e possível perfuração intestinal. A etiologia pode ser primária, como na trombose mesentérica, ou secundária a condições como embolia ou trauma abdominal. Entre as manifestações clínicas, destacam-se dor abdominal severa, náuseas, vômitos e, em casos avançados, sinais de peritonite ou choque. O diagnóstico é desafiador e geralmente requer uma combinação de história clínica detalhada, exames laboratoriais e imagiológicos, como a tomografia computadorizada com contraste, que pode revelar áreas de necrose intestinal e trombose das artérias mesentéricas. O tratamento envolve uma abordagem multifacetada que inclui a correção das causas subjacentes, a administração de anticoagulantes e, em casos graves, intervenções cirúrgicas para remoção de segmentos intestinais necrosados. As complicações da IMA podem incluir infecção abdominal, sepse e falência de múltiplos órgãos. O prognóstico depende da rapidez do diagnóstico e da intervenção, sendo que a taxa de sobrevivência melhora com tratamento precoce e eficaz. A abordagem terapêutica bem-sucedida é fundamental para melhorar os desfechos e reduzir a mortalidade associada a essa condição crítica.

Authors: Umar Fatmah AR.
Published: August 2024

The present work aimed at exploring (1) the condition of Indonesian literature and its learning in the curriculum development perspective, (2) the past and the current learning orientation, (2) Indonesian literature learning in multiculturalism perspectives, and (3) efforts to accentuate a liberating, literary education and learning concept. In this qualitative descriptive research, all data were collected from documentation, observation, and interview. The results showed that: First, in the old order (Orde Lama), literature education was a separate subject before being integrated into the Indonesian language subject since the New Order (Orde Baru). Theoretical knowledge has long been emphasized in literature learning. To this day, literature education has focused on the creation and preservation of the culture of silence. Educators (teachers) have been plagued by being powerless and unable to express themselves. As a result, the teachers opt to remain silent, but they are trapped in a situation of being alienated from reality. Second, Indonesian literature learning, from the  perspective of structuralism, indicates plurality embedded in the core of the Indonesian literary works that covers the aspects of culture, language, themes, and pronunciation. Third, efforts to accentuate a liberating, literary education and learning concept can be made through (i) writing, reading, and interpreting the literary works, the involvement of litterateurs in extracurricular activities (teaching and learning of literature), and (iii) taking advantages potential texts containing the socio-cultural concept of literature, and (iv) referring to the original principle of literature education.

Authors: Amedu Amos Nnaemeka
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

Breast cancer (BC) is a common cancer among females in Africa. Being infected with BC in Africa seems like a life sentence and brings devastating experiences to patients and households. As a result, BC is comorbid with trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and post-traumatic growth (PTG).

AIM

To identify empirical evidence from peer-reviewed articles on the comorbidity trajectories between BC and trauma, BC and PTSD, and BC and PTG.

METHODS

This review adhered to the PRISMA guidelines of conducting a systematic review. Literature searches of the National Library of Medicine, Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus databases were conducted using search terms developed for the study. The search hint yielded 769 results, which were screened based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. At the end of the screening, 24 articles were included in the systematic review.

RESULTS

BC patients suffered trauma and PTSD during the diagnosis and treatment stages. These traumatic events include painful experiences during and after diagnosis, psychological distress, depression, and cultural stigma against BC patients. PTSD occurrence among BC patients varies across African countries, as this review disclosed: 90% was reported in Kenya, 80% was reported in Zimbabwe, and 46% was reported in Nigeria. The severity of PTSD among BC patients in Africa was based on the test results communicated to the patients. Furthermore, this review revealed that BC patients experience PTG, which involves losing, regaining, and surrendering final control over the body, rebuilding a personified identity, and newfound appreciation for the body.

CONCLUSION

Patients with BC undergo numerous traumatic experiences during their diagnosis and treatment. Psychological interventions are needed in SSA to mitigate trauma and PTSD, as well as promote PTG.
