Published: October 2021

Exclusive breastfeeding was the providing breast milk (ASI) without any food or drinks other than breast milk, except for drugs, vitamins, or mineral drops. Most mothers often experience problems in implementing exclusive breastfeeding. These were some of the factors causing the low exclusive breastfeeding for newborns. One of the main reasons low breast milk provision in the community is unsmooth breast milk production. Rooming-in concept care is to increase breast milk production. The purpose was to determine the correlation between the implementation of rooming-in care the breast milk production in post-cesarean mothers. This study was a correlational analytic study with a cross-sectional approach method. The sample in this study was nonprobability sampling with consecutive sampling with a total sample of 53 respondents. Data analysis is using Spearman Rank analysis. The results of the Spearman Rank analysis showed that the p-value was 0,000, the means that the hypothesis of this study was accepted, which means that there was a correlation between the implementation combined care with the production of breast milk for post-cesarean section mothers with a correlation coefficient of 0.830. The results of this study have implications in the form of improving the quality of patient safety (patient safety) and patient satisfaction with maternal and child services.

Акцентується увага на проблемі співставлення та взаємозв’язку філософії права та загальної теорії права.
Перші пенітенціарні будинки в Європі: від релігійного благодійництва до складової кримінальної політики.
Authors: Сокальська О.
Published: October 2021

У статті розглянуто процес становлення пенітенціарних установ, починаючи від формування в XVII ст. виправно-покаяльних карних закладів для священнослужителів і благодійних інституцій для утримання неповносправних делінквентів, що іменувалися пенітенціарними будинками, до нормативного закріплення 1779 р. «пенітенціарного експерименту» у Великій Британії та його реалізації, спершу у графствах, зокрема 1791 р. у Глостері, а на початку XIX ст. на загальнодержавному рівні. Визначено, коли й за яких умов терміни «пенітенціарний будинок» та «пенітенціарна система» утвердилися в англосаксонській пенальній термінології. Проаналізовано основні аспекти фундації та діяльності пенітенціарного будинку в Глостері та першого загальнонаціонального пенітенціарію Міллбенк, нормативні приписи та режимні засади функціонування.
Cутність адміністративних процедур в діяльності Служби безпеки України як суб’єкта забезпечення критичної інфраструктури
Authors: Безпалова О. , Осипчук І.
Published: October 2021

Доведено, що адміністративна процедура в діяльності СБУ щодо забезпечення критичної інфраструктури – це законодавчо визначена юридична конструкція послідовно здійснюваних дій, що закріплена адміністративно-процедурними нормами і спрямована на виконання позитивної діяльності щодо запобігання посяганням на об’єкти критичної інфраструктури. Сформульовано особливості зазначеної категорії з урахуванням суб’єкта її здійснення.

Наголошено, що при здійсненні адміністративно-процедурної діяльності СБУ щодо охорони об’єктів критичної інфраструктури остання здебільшого є правообмежувальною та такою, що сьогодні не завжди має нормативно визначений стадійний характер, що пов’язано з необхідністю оперативно, без зволікань виявляти загрози і ризики, які впливають на функціональність та безпечність об’єктів критичної інфраструктури.

Доведено, що сьогодні нормативного закріплення отримали лише адміністративні процедури охорони об’єктів інформаційної критичної інфраструктури СБУ. Це свідчить про те, що перелік об’єктів критичної інфраструктури, який наразі визначений проєктом Закону України «Про критичну інфраструктуру та її захист», є неповним, оскільки, по-перше, поза увагою залишився об’єкт інформаційної критичної інфраструктури, а по-друге – вимагає розширення кола повноважень СБУ щодо забезпечення охорони об’єктів критичної інфраструктури, особливо в діяльності, що стосується надання послуг у галузі енергетики, у сфері використання ядерної енергії, хімічної промисловості, оборонно-промислового комплексу, електронних комунікацій, у банківському та фінансовому секторах.

Bireysel Yatırım Enstrümanlarının Volatilite Yapılarının Belirlenmesi: Kripto Paralar, ABD Doları Türk Lirası Kuru, Altın ve Yatırım Fonları Üzerine Bir Uygulama
Authors: ŞAHİN Özkan
Published: October 2021

Finansal piyasalardaki bireysel yatırımcıların temel amacı tasarruflarının değer kaybını engellemek veya getiri elde etmektir. Bu kapsamda bireysel yatırımcıların çoğunlukla tercih ettiği yatırım araçlarının riskini belirlemek ve yatırımcılara yol göstermek amacıyla; kripto paralar, dolar, altın ve bankaların yatırım fonları analiz edilmiştir. Piyasaların risk yapıları belirlemek için ilgili piyasalarda 2015-2018 arası günlük kapanış fiyatlarıdan ARCH ve GARCH modelleri ile volatilite analizleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak dolar, altın ve yatırım fonlarının volatiliteleri kripto paralara nazaran daha düşük belirlenmiştir. En düşük volatilite katılım bankacılığı fonunda, en yüksek Ethereum’da belirlenmiştir. Kripto paraların geçmiş fiyatlarında meydana gelen değişimlerin bugünkü fiyatlarda meydana gelen değişime etkisi düşük olduğundan bu piyasalara yönelik teknik ve temel analiz teknikleri ile ortalama üstü getiri elde etme imkânı bulunmamaktadır. Gerek bu yüzden gerekse de kripto paraların günlük bazda yüksek volatiliteye sahip olmasından kripto paralar dolayı uzun dönemde yatırım amaçlı kullanılabilecek bir enstrüman olarak belirlenmiştir.
Comprender y gestionar el panorama crítico en América Latina y el Caribe
Authors: Canto María Belén
Published: October 2021

La manifestación de la epidemia de COVID-19 en América Central y del Sur ha sido calificada por la Organización Mundial de la Salud como la más compleja del mundo. A tal punto es su impacto en alcance, dimensión e intensidad, que algunos expertos reconocen en dicha pandemia el mismo efecto demoledor que trajo aparejado la Segunda Guerra Mundial. La llegada del virus al escenario regional ha dejado al descubierto las graves insuficiencias en materia alimentaria, salud y bienestar que América Latina y el Caribe aún no logra superar. La gran preocupación no es sólo el grave retroceso en los logros alcanzados sino también las implicaciones del COVID-19 en la configuración de un nuevo orden, que amenaza con ser menos integrado y menos inclusivo.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on family life is asymmetric. The effect of patients' illness has multiple and varied effects on all devices and systems. The mental impairment can occur through direct and / or indirect mechanisms. The premise of restricting activities, income, social contacts and extended family support puts families into difficulty, but these issues are not always correlated with income, social status or education of family members. These inaccuracies are increasingly common in families where there are fewer mechanisms to compensate for these losses felt by society as a whole. The need for acceptance, understanding, appreciation is greater than ever and the examples where each family member can evolve and validate are fewer and fewer. The family should be studied in dynamics in terms of relationships, exercise of tolerance and communication between members within the same family. Acceptance of reality is also very important, acceptance of existential problems in the family. We want to unravel the mechanisms that lead to the rise of intrafamily tensions, especially in terms of disrupting the lives of minors who are part of the changing family and preventing the effects to provide the best opportunities for education and development of children. Due to the pre-extended restrictions imposed by the pandemic, permanent fatigue sets in, the emotional abandonment of family members, each member taking refuges in his own world (possibly even virtual) that offers them more freedom and sometimes power. It was also observed that if the family works in a smaller physical space, there may be elements of aggression, rejection, abuse even among family members, these elements can be prevented with appropriate programs.

Schooling at all levels from kindergarten to high school has suffered during the pandemic, as the school system has had to readjust to stimulate pupil's attention, rethinking teaching methods, maintaining a healthy climate of interaction between teacher and pupil, teacher and parents, but also between colleagues in the same group study. The management of these parameters becomes all the more delicate in the case of students with special educational needs during the during the COVID-19 pandemic. That is why the preliminary investigations must be thoroughly completed (thorough medical, psychiatric, psychological, pedagogical anamnesis, schooling in the family having a great role here, then rigorous clinical and paraclinical investigations followed only in the last stage of placing the child in a diagnostic class and then stating its requirements). There is a white-gray territory of students who do not have an accurate diagnosis but who still require more attention and special teaching methods. False mental retardation unfortunately still creeps among the diagnoses received by children in some situations, all the more difficult to make a differential diagnosis during the pandemic where communication of all kinds is affected. Modern combined pedagogical methods can be managed in combination for the message to reach the beneficiaries as clearly and comprehensively as possible and the impact on the pupil should be the expected one. The establishment of an interdisciplinary team allows the facilitation of this approach to make the path towards school (be it virtual) easier for all students to create a climate in which the pupil can complete himself to his maximum capacity.
THE FOURTH HISTORICAL MOMENT IN SOCIAL RESEARCH ‘THE CRISIS OF REPRESENTATION’: A CHAPTER REVIEW
Authors: Al Hashimi Asma Shughail Aqib , Azmin Adi Anuar
Published: October 2021

The historical moments of qualitative research reflect socially constructed quasi-historic conventions that remain crosscut and overlapping till the present. This progressive narrative is well represented and assessed in a historical overview by Denzin & Lincoln (2018) in their book “The Sage handbook of qualitative research” in the introduction “The discipline and practice of qualitative research”. Through a chapter review, this article particularly discusses the fourth moment of Quantitative research coined as “The crisis of representation”, which is believed to be the crossroads where social scientists
remain entangled between the science and humanity perspective while conducting social research in order to forward social realities. This period of confusion simultaneously forwarded the multi-paradigm (positivism, postpositivism, and interpretivism), all of which have unique characteristics that are suitable for specific research. Thus, this paper sheds light on the overview of the crisis of representation and further explains the types of crises that occurred during this historical moment, including the crisis of representation, the crisis of legitimation, and a crisis of praxis. It is expected that apart from extending current literature this paper would support social scientists for selecting appropriate methods and paradigms as well as to justify their selection.

Quantitative control of plasma and surface reactions for dielectric film etching
Authors: Tatsumi Tetsuya
Published: October 2021

This paper reviews reaction control in the dry etching of insulating films. High ion fluxes are required for high-speed SiO2 processing. However, because atomic F generation due to excessive fluorocarbon gas dissociation causes reduced selectivity, the number of electron collisions should be reduced by using short residence times. The C–F-based polymer thickness formed during processing varies based on the oxygen content of the material to be etched. To achieve high etch selectivity, the incident flux balance must be adjusted quantitatively to ensure that the polymer becomes thinner during etching and thicker as the underlying material is exposed. Even under high selectivity conditions, incident ions cause damage at the moment the underlying material is exposed. To suppress this damage, the ion penetration depth, which depends on both ion energy distribution and ion composition, must be reduced. Recently, atomic layer etching combined with C–F polymer deposition and removal using Ar ion irradiation has been studied. To improve the accuracy of such cyclic etching processes, it is important to understand and control the transient states of both plasma and surface reactions quantitatively.

Comparative Jurisprudence in the Development of International Law
Authors: Zernov A. O. , Voskresenskaya E. V. , Indyk K. P.
Published: October 2021

The article considers the importance of comparative jurisprudence for jurisprudence in general and for international law in particular. Comparative law has steadily entered the structure of the legal sciences, taking an important theoretical and methodological place. The methodological significance of comparative law is reflected in the development of legal sciences, including and especially international law. The theoretical significance of comparative law as a legal science lies in the terminological basis that comparative law provides for other comparative sciences and studies. The authors substantiate the relevance of comparative law as a scientific direction, which is due to the growing integration and cross-border trends in law caused by globalization, within which comparative law is designed to provide a methodological and theoretical basis.

Authors:   Corporación Universitaria Adventista, Quintero Helmer
Published: October 2021

El interés principal del estudio lo constituye la relación entre la espiritualidad, la religiosidad y la orientación religiosa con la salud mental y el bienestar psicológico, en las ciudades de Medellín (Colombia), y Buenos Aires (Argentina). Se estimaron las correlaciones en una muestra de 306 participantes pertenecientes a tres grupos religiosos: pentecostales (trinitarios y unitarios), adventistas y católicos. En la muestra, el 40% fueron hombres y el 60% mujeres, con edades comprendidas entre los 25 y los 80 años (M=41 años). Con el fin de conocer las variables predictoras, tanto para la salud mental como para el bienestar psicológico, se realizó un análisis de regresión múltiple intro y por pasos. Todos los participantes diligenciaron los siguientes instrumentos: cuestionario sociodemográfico, Escala de Bienestar Psicológico de Ryff, test de salud mental de Goldberg GHQ-12, Escala de Espiritualidad y Religiosidad Aspires, y Escala de Orientación Religiosa Age Universal IE. Los resultados determinaron correlación entre la espiritualidad, la religiosidad, la orientación religiosa con la salud mental y el bienestar psicológico. Al realizar el análisis de regresión múltiple, se identifica un modelo que predice el bienestar psicológico, con un R2 del 21.5%. La realización de la oración fue predictor del bienestar psicológico, con una proporción de la varianza β= 0.711, t= 3.175, p= 0.000), junto con la religiosidad intrínseca (β= 0.78, t= 2.719, p= 0.000) y la crisis religiosa (β= -1.79, t= -3.687; p= 0.000), explicando inversamente el bienestar psicológico. En el modelo de salud mental dos variables la explicaron (R2 = 27%), la orientación religiosa intrínseca (β= 0.47, t=6.887, p=000) y la crisis religiosa de manera inversa (β= -0.54, t=- 4.732, p=0.000). El 19% de la muestra poblacional comportaba deterioro de la salud mental. En Colombia se presentaron un mayor bienestar psicológico y religiosidad extrínseca personal. Por país y por denominación religiosa se encontraron algunas leves diferencias.
Neural Layer Bypassing Network
Authors: Palasamudram Amogh
Published: October 2021

This research introduces and evaluates the Neural Layer Bypassing Network (NLBN), a new
neural network architecture to improve the speed and effectiveness of forward propagation in
deep learning. This architecture utilizes 1 additional (fully connected) neural network layer after
every layer in the main network. This new layer determines whether finishing the rest of the
forward propagation is required to predict the output of the given input. To test the effectiveness
of the NLBN, I programmed coding examples for this architecture with 3 different image
classification models trained on 3 different datasets: MNIST Handwritten Digits Dataset, Horses
or Humans Dataset, and Colorectal Histology Dataset. After training 1 standard convolutional
neural network (CNN) and 1 NLBN per dataset (both of equivalent architectures), I performed 5
trials per dataset to analyze the performance of these two architectures. For the NLBN, I also
collected data regarding the accuracy, time period, and speed of the network with respect to the
percentage of the model the inputs are passed through. It was found that this architecture
increases the speed of forward propagation by 6% - 25% while the accuracy tended to decrease
by 0% - 4%; the results vary based on the dataset and structure of the model, but the increase
in speed was normally at least twice the decrease in accuracy. In addition to the NLBN’s
performance during predictions, it takes roughly 40% longer to train and requires more memory
due to its complexity. However, the architecture can be made more efficient if integrated into
TensorFlow libraries. Overall, by being able to autonomously skip neural network layers, this
architecture can potentially be a foundation for neural networks to teach themselves to become
more efficient for applications that require fast, accurate, and less computationally intensive
predictions.

Задача распознавания изображений - одна из самых сложных в машинном обучении, требующая от исследователя как глубоких знаний, так и больших временных и вычислительных ресурсов. В случае использования нелинейных и сложных данных применяются различные архитектуры глубоких нейронных сетей, но при этом сложным вопросом остается проблема выбора нейронной сети. Основными архитектурами, используемыми повсеместно, являются свёрточные нейронные сети (CNN), рекуррентные нейронные сети (RNN), глубокие нейронные сети (DNN). На основе рекуррентных нейронных сетей (RNN) были разработаны сети с долгой краткосрочной памятью (LSTM) и сети с управляемыми реккурентными блоками (GRU). Каждая архитектура нейронной сети имеет свою структуру, свои настраиваемые и обучаемые параметры, обладает своими достоинствами и недостатками. Комбинируя различные виды нейронных сетей, можно существенно улучшить качество предсказания в различных задачах машинного обучения. Учитывая, что выбор оптимальной архитектуры сети и ее параметров является крайне трудной задачей, рассматривается один из методов построения архитектуры нейронных сетей на основе комбинации свёрточных, рекуррентных и глубоких нейронных сетей. Показано, что такие архитектуры превосходят классические алгоритмы машинного обучения

The image recognition task is one of the most difficult in machine learning, requiring both deep knowledge and large time and computational resources from the researcher. In the case of using nonlinear and complex data, various architectures of deep neural networks are used but the problem of choosing a neural network remains a difficult issue. The main architectures used everywhere are convolutional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), deep neural networks (DNN). Based on recurrent neural networks (RNNs), Long Short Term Memory Networks (LSTMs) and Controlled Recurrent Unit Networks (GRUs) were developed. Each neural network architecture has its own structure, customizable and trainable parameters, and advantages and disadvantages. By combining different types of neural networks, you can significantly improve the quality of prediction in various machine learning problems. Considering that the choice of the optimal network architecture and its parameters is an extremely difficult task, one of the methods for constructing the architecture of neural networks based on a combination of convolutional, recurrent and deep neural networks is considered. We showed that such architectures are superior to classical machine learning algorithms
USE OF ICTs FOR INCLUSIVE EDUCATION: POSSIBILITIES AND CHALLENGES
Authors: Dr. Brahmananda Nayak  , Pawan Kumar Modi  , Ramakant Tripathi
Published: October 2021

Right to Education is the primary right of every citizen of India, whether a child resides in a high profile society or in a far away not so developed secluded village, according to the Article 45 of Indian Constitution the basic elementary education must be provided to all the children up to the age of fourteen years. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) can be utilized for the education sector. Education includes online, distance and part time education. There are unlimited applications of ICT in the real world. In his paper emphasis is on the education field. ICT can be used for providing education to the people who are not able to come to school due to various constraints. ICT can play great role in formal and non formal forms of education. Inclusive Education proposes all students are provided with equitable access to education within the context of a mainstream educational system and not in a segregated setting. There is now significant international and national legislation and policy in support of this model but for many countries achieving this ideal is proving to be a difficult reality. Accessible ICTs have a major role to play in enabling educational authorities, educators, students and parents to move towards a more inclusive educational system. However its role as a communication aid, pedagogical tool and means of access to previously inaccessible learning materials is still, in many countries, only just beginning to be explored.

Enseigner en situation de pandémie : La transformation de l’enseignement et de la supervision clinique
Authors: Dubé Tim , Boucher Marie-Christine , Champagne Louise , Garand Marie-Ève , Rinfret Joanie
Published: October 2021

Introduction : La pandémie de COVID-19 est de l’ordre de l’évènement. Il y a un temps de passage pandémique qui impacte profondément nos vies personnelles, professionnelles et collectives. Or, comment enseignons-nous dans ces temps de grand bouleversement ? Quels sont les principaux changements survenus ?
Méthode : Suivant une logique de Cartel, quatre professeures et un chercheur qualitatif ont réalisé une recherche autoethnographique visant à documenter les principaux changements survenus dans l’enseignement de la médecine de famille dans leurs pratiques respectives situées dans quatre groupes de médecine familiale universitaire différents de l’Université de Sherbrooke.
Résultats : Cinq moments clefs de l’enseignement survenus en temps de pandémie ont été identifiés: a) la déclaration de pandémie, b) l’approche avec la cohorte finissante/avancée de résidents, c) l’anticipation et la préparation de l’arrivée des nouveaux résidents, d) l’arrivée des résidents de première année et e) l’adaptation à la deuxième vague. Pour chacun, nous présentons les enjeux rencontrés dans nos pratiques de soins et d’enseignement sous trois axes relationnels transversaux : la relation de l’humain à son contexte culturel, la relation patient-médecin et la relation enseignant-résident. 
Conclusion : Notre analyse montre que la transmission du savoir médical et de l’art de la médecine ne peut se faire sans une attention spécifique au contexte culturel global, à la relation contextuelle de soins cliniques et à la relation d’enseignement. Notre étude permet aussi de recommander l’ouverture d’espaces de réflexion et de dialogue dans nos milieux d’enseignement.
CONSUMPTION OF FUNCTIONAL FOOD AND KNOWLEDGE OF ITS A TTRIBUTES: A QUANTITATIVE STUDY OF CONSUMERS IN PUNJAB PROVINCE, PAKISTAN
Authors: Zafar M.U. , Ping Q , Khan S , Rauf R
Published: October 2021

The different scientific studies have identified the beneficial physiological role and effects of functional foods (FFs). No doubt the knowledge of nutrition is primarily important in addressing human physical and physiological health along with human wellness. The study is planned to explore the consumers’ knowledge about the different attributes of FFs and their consumption pattern. A purposive multistage random sampling design was used for the selection of 400 consumers of FFs from four major cities of Pakistan. The shopping centers and consumers were randomly selected. The analysis demonstrates that about more than 30 percent of the consumers had knowledge to a great extent of perceived quality, appearance package, organoleptic, functionality, price and brand attributes and about 40 percent of the consumers had knowledge to some extent of these attributes. Analysis reflects that from 33 to 86 percent of consumers were using often modified cereals, oats, bread, canola oil, orange juice, grape juice, modified yogurt, milk fortified with vitamins, green tea, energy drinks, ginger, and turmeric. It is suggested that creating awareness and building confidence about FFs among consumers will be useful for promotion of FFs in Pakistan. As the elder family members are more concerned about their health, they should motivate their children to adopt good food habits which are imperative to improve their quality of life. The FFs providers and manufactures should equip their R&D department with the latest development in functional foods sector through coordinating food scientists, university food experts and industrialists for manufacturing the specific food products which are beneficial for human health.
Keywords: Functional Food (FF), Product Attributes, Consumptions, Reasoned Action Theory.

Due to rapid changes in software applications, especially incorporating the demands of self-regulating technologies becomes a major challenge in software projects. This research focuses on technological, managerial, and procedural challenges, which are believed to the most significant factors contributing to projects failure. To address these issues, this study proposes Monolithic Ontological Methodology (MOM) which addresses the weakness in the existing benchmark methodologies including PRINCE2, Extreme Programming, and Scrum in terms of project management, quality control, and stakeholder involvement. The MOM consists of seven phases and each phase has the required number of iterations until it is approved by management. The updated information is recorded and shared with the respective teams. The standard documentation with control language is structured by Descriptive Logic (DL) that reduces ambiguity and technical debate. Furthermore, the illustration of the MOM includes figures, logical expressions, and descriptions. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology, an Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was performed. The findings indicate the validity of MOM concerning considered performance metrics.

Numerical studies for considering soil-structure interaction (SSI) are widely used to providing a better understanding of the seismic behavior of structures. The outcomes of these numerical studies are strongly depending on the input parameters. Back to the literature, for modelling different types of soil, there are convenient procedures whereby a single value of the Poisson's ratio is estimated for each type of soil, however a range limitation between (0.10 to 0.40) is possible, and then other required parameters determined utilizing the tables of the international seismic codes and the equations of the literature. In this article, a comprehensive parametric study was carried out with the aim of evaluating influences of the Poisson’s ratio on the seismic behavior of structures, sixteen values of Poisson’s ratios were interpolated between (0.11 to 0.41) in order to examine all possible trails. For achieving this goal a 4 story steel structure was analyzed on four different soil types (soft, stiff, very dense, and rock soils) under the El Centro acceleration record. The results in terms of time history top displacement and base shears have been discussed.

During the acquisition of a new digital image, noise may be introduced as a result of the production process. Image enhancement is used to alleviate problems caused by noise. In this work, the purpose is to propose, apply, and evaluate enhancement approaches to images by selecting suitable filters to produce improved quality and performance results. The new method proposed for image noise reduction as an enhancement process employs threshold and histogram equalization implemented in the wavelet domain. Different types of wavelet filters were tested to obtain the best results for the image noise reduction process. Also, the effect of canceling one or more of the high-frequency bands in the wavelet domain was tested. The mean square error and peak signal to noise ratio are used for measuring the improvement in image noise reduction. A comparison made with two related works shows the superiority of the methods proposed and implemented in this research. The proposed methods of applying the median filter before and after the histogram equalization methods produce improvement in performance and efficiency compared to the case of using discrete wavelet transform only, even with the cases of multiresolution discrete wavelet transform and the cancellation step.

In this research work, the investigation and optimization of small horizontal axis wind turbine blade at low wind speed is pursued. The experimental blades were developed using the 3D printing additive manufacturing technique. The airfoils E210, NACA2412, S1223, SG6043, E216, NACA4415, SD7080, SD7033, S1210 and MAF were tested at the wind speed of 2-6 m/s. The airfoils and optimum blade geometry were investigated with the aid of the Xfoil software at Reynolds number of 100,000. The initial investigation range included tip speed ratios from 3 to 10, solidity from 0.0431 – 0.1181 and angle of attacks from 2o to 20o. Later on these parameters were varied in MATLAB and Xfoil software for optimization and investigation of the power coefficient, lift coefficient, drag coefficient and lift to drag ratio. The cut-in wind speed of the rotors was 2 and 2.5 m/s with the winglet-equipped blades and without winglets. It was found that the E210, SG6043, E216 NACA4415 and MAF airfoil displayed better performance than the NACA 2412, S1223, SD7080, S1210 & SD7003 for the geometry optimized for the operating conditions and manufacturing method described.

Asphalt binder, as one of pavement component is exposed to heat and rainfall. Polymer modified asphalt binder is a good alternative to withstand the weather in tropical countries. By utilizing warm mix asphalt additive, the high compacting and mixing temperature can be reduced. However, the impact to the environment and its characteristic towards high temperature need to be evaluated before putting it to use. In the study, the physical properties, thermal characteristics, and leaching and toxicity of PG76 incorporated with Rediset LQ were investigated. The Tank Leaching Test was carried out to mimic the worst scenario of flood event effect on the asphalt binder. The results of physical tests denote that the new material has relative consistency while the thermal analysis indicates that the materials are stable beyond their mixing and compaction temperature. The decomposition starts at temperature > 360°C and ends at temperature <500°C for all samples. The tank leaching test also found that the materials are safe to be used as pavement material because the heavy metal elements from the leachate are below the maximum allowable volume by the World Health Organization and the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

One of the common geotechnical problems is the construction on soft soil and the improvement of its geotechnical properties to meet the design requirements. A stone column is one of the well-known techniques used to improve the geotechnical properties of soft soils. Sometimes thick layers of soft soil imposed the designer to use floating stone columns for improvement of such soil; in this case, the designer will be lost the end bearing of the stone column. In this study, the effects of several patterns of floating stone columns distribution under footing on the bearing capacity of soil and the distribution of excess porewater pressure are investigated. The soft soil used in this study has a very low undrained shear strength (cu) of 5.5 kPa and improved by several patterns of stone columns (single, two linear, triangular, square, and quadrilateral). The stone column has a length of 180 mm and a diameter of 30 mm. The material of the stone column is poorly graded sand has an angle of internal friction (48.5°) at a relative density of 65%. The results indicated a significant increase in the ultimate bearing capacity of soft soil when treated with floating stone columns despite the small ratio of area replacement and reducing the excess porewater pressure and settlement. Also, the ultimate bearing capacity of soil calculated from experimental work is compared with the corresponding values obtained from the proposed equations in the previous studies to evaluate the validity of using such equations.

Determining the optimum cutting tool positions in a tool magazine is a challenging task which involves a huge searching space. Reduction of manufacturing time even by nanoseconds will highly be beneficial for all process industries. The prime focus of this research work is to reduce the total turret or tool indexing time in Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) which in turn curtails the idle non-cutting time of the bi-directional turret or tool magazine in a CNC machine. This variant of optimization problem falls under the category of non-deterministic hard polynomial (NP-hard) problem. Chemical Reaction Optimization (CRO) algorithm is proposed to determine the near optimal/global optimal solution with lesser computational cost. Five benchmark case studies are considered in this work to assess the robustness of the proposed algorithm. From the results, it is evident that the proposed algorithm yields solutions which matches or exceeds with the solution quality.
