NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF PLATE COOLING USING MULTIPLE IMPINGING JETS IN DIFFERENT ALIGNMENTS
Authors: YILDIZELİ Alperen , ÇADIRCI Sertaç
Published: May 2023

In this study, convective heat transfer by multiple impinging jet arrays in different arrangements is numerically investigated using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Computational domain consists of multiple jet array either in inline or staggered alignment and a target plate to be cooled by impinging jets. Distance between the jet array and the target plate is kept constant at H=28 mm. Diameter of circular jet nozzles is fixed at D=5 mm for all configurations. Effects of jet Reynolds number (Rej), spacing between circular jets and the alignment of the jet nozzles on aerothermal performance are parametrically investigated in the scope of this study. For staggered and inline alignments of the jet nozzles, Rej ranges from 5000 to 20000 and the ratio of the spacing to the jet diameter (s/D) changes between 2 and 6. CFD calculations are performed using finite volume based ANSYS-Fluent flow solver. Simulations are conducted for incompressible, steady and turbulent flow using k-ω SST turbulence model with ideal gas assumption for density and Sutherland law for viscosity. After intensive mesh convergence and validation tests, appropriate mesh resolution is determined and parametric investigations are performed. The study reveals that most dominant parameter for plate cooling is Rej followed by spacing between jets and finally jet alignment. For all Rej, inline jet nozzle alignment provides 15% higher average heat transfer rate than staggered alignment when s/D is close to the lower limit. However, it is shown that jet alignment does not affect thermal performance when s/D is higher.
The development of a music therapy pain assessment model
Authors: Loewy Joanne V.
Published: May 2023

Pain is often defined by its symptomatology and etiology. Unrelieved pain can negatively impact every area of an individual’s life, including personal relationships, employment, and one’s involvement in social activities. Unrelieved pain may induce fear, anxiety, and depression. Disease management includes the evaluation of pain. Scoring levels of pain frequently is a required measurement listed prominently on the patient bedside flowchart. Evaluating pain is a required appraised and evaluated inquiry- the outcomes of which influences the most pertinent domains of health and healing. As recouperation and discharge planning are so often at the forefront of hospitalists’ thinking, at times the nuances of how pain is evaluated in the quest to find and extinguish associated influences may be lost in the shuffle of a desired immediacy for change. Subtleties that lead toward resulting exacerbations may result from clinician haste. This article presents an overview of the critical elements that are significant to address when considering music therapy applications for the treatment of pain in patients of all ages and diagnoses.
A comprehensive Music Based Approach for Chronic Pain in a 96 year old Female
Authors: Clements-Cortes Amy
Published: May 2023

The clinical report briefly highlights the significant issue of pain comorbid with dementia in older adults. Pain manifests in a variety of behaviours such as anxiety and agitation; and pharmaceuticals which are the principal treatment approach often do not fully eliminate or provide effective or complete pain management. Music based interventions (MBIs) and music therapy have been used with older adults as treatment options for pain and the behavioural and psychological symptoms (BPSD) of dementia for decades. Increasingly more researchers are writing about how caregivers can utilize MBIs including music therapy in a comprehensive treatment approach for those with dementia to manage BPSD symptoms including pain. This paper presents the case example of ‘Suyen’ to illuminate how MBIs and music therapy were included in a comprehensive music based approach for pain and overall wellness in an older adult with dementia and multiple health conditions.

Published: May 2023

Household energy survey data collected between middle October and early November 2022 was utilised to investigate the determinants of solar energy demand in households in Nsukka area of Enugu State, Nigeria. The binary logistic regression model was used to analyse the factors affecting the likelihood of demanding for solar energy in the study area. The reasons for not using solar energy were also investigated. The notable socio-economic factors driving demand for solar energy were found to be factors such as higher educational status, age of household, marital status, access to credit facilities, occupation of households, access to media and high household average monthly income. A holistic policy design that will improve the income and sociological status of households in the area would help to propel the demand for solar energy. Easy access to credit facilities and government income stimulating social welfare packages as well as enhancing awareness about the benefits and utilization of solar energy would bring some desired results. Furthermore, the government should create deliberate conditions to make solar energy equipment affordable to many Nigerians with low incomes. Enforcing standard on the quality of solar energy equipment by the government of Nigeria would also go a long way in fostering confidence that will stimulate the demand for solar energy
LGBTQ+: The Position of the Ghanaian Society as the Majority Seeks Closure
Authors: Atieku-Boateng Harry
Published: May 2023

The debate on whether the promotion of LGBTQ+ is in the right direction and founded on the grounds of human rights may continue to exist, however; this paper takes on a side on the grounds of the moral philosophy that no man lives in isolation and that we all live in a society with all of us being connected; we thereby have an effect on others and others on us. This assertion explains why society is always interested in the way of life of every individual. We inherit this moral system as we are born into society and we should expect at all times to be questioned, admonished, advised and criticised where necessary, by society. The paper takes a look at the Ghanaian position on LGBTQ+ on the grounds of religious belief, and by extention how these belief is percieved by the masses to influence the institutions that makes the laws that governs the society. The social label adopted by LGBTQ+ individuals and their activities has been questioned by many, some of these arguments raised against LGBTQ+ individuals are founded on the grounds of mental stability, psychological well-being, and other areas of human science (Javaid Rehman & E. Polymenopoulou, 2013; Muhlestein, 2007). Notwithstanding, the religious argument has been one of the strongest or say, the most persuasive argument against the LGBTQ+ movement, most notably in Africa and Ghana to be precise (Asante, 2020; Gyasi-Gyamerah & Akotia, 2016). The Ghanaian society is made up of several religious groups, amongst these religions, Christianity dominates, followed by Islam and other religious groups (Ghana Statistical Service, 2022). Religion plays a critical role in the decision formation of individuals; it is as such, an essential element that drives perceptions, which include reception or acceptance of any subject matter. With LGBTQ+ as a topic, it is evident that the religious aspect will play a role in the perceptions of individuals with its acceptance in society in a country like Ghana.

Published: May 2023

Influence of Physico-functional Characteristics and Germination Effect on Gelation Property of the floor and isolates from the two varieties (DAS & BS) of Nigeria cultivated solojo cowpeas were investigated. Results show that germination improved the gelation capacity of the FFDAS as it brought the Least Gelation Concentration (LGC) from 4%w/v to 2%w/v except for 6 h and 72 h germination; likewise, FFBS had its LGC improve with germination from 4%w/v to 2%w/v, except for 6 h. The protein isolates of DAS and BS also had improved LGC with germination, going from 14%w/v to 6%w/v and 16%w/v to 8%w/v respectively. Gelation property of raw (native/ control) and germinated Dark-ash Solojo Cowpea (FFDAS, DFDAS, FFBS and DFBS flours; DAS and BS protein isolate) was influenced by germination and physico-functional characteristics. The four flour samples, FFDAS, DFDAS, FFBS and DFBS as well as the two protein isolates exhibited some variations in gelation property. The protein isolates gave stiff paste instead of regular gel, going from, DAS, 18 – 4% and BS, 18 – 6%. Disparity in gelling properties observed, may be as a result of the proportion of diverse components for example proteins, fat and carbohydrate in the various legume flours. The prevalent charges on the exterior of the proteins, which is affected by pH, causes variation in the balance between the polar and non-polar residues, thereby bringing about differences in gelation.

Published: May 2023

The mass vaccination against COVID-19 has saved millions of lives globally. The majority of people experience short-term mild side effects; however, in rare cases, some develop long-term severe adverse events. This case report illustrates the case of a middle-aged man with Parsonage–Turner syndrome, a rare adverse event following COVID-19 immunisation. The patient presented with pain and weakness of the right upper arm for 2 months, which developed 5 days after he received his mRNA COVID-19 booster vaccine. He sought medical attention after 9 weeks of experiencing weakness with obvious muscle wasting. He reported his condition only via a phone application, as he thought that his condition was self-limiting and will improve with time. Herein, we discuss the syndrome and highlight the importance of patient education and early recognition of serious adverse events related to vaccinations in the primary care setting.
Utilisation of adolescent reproductive and sexual health services in a rural area of West Bengal: A mixed-method study
Authors: Banerjee Ankush , Paul Bobby , Das Ranjan , Bandyopadhyay Lina , Bhattacharyya Madhumita
Published: May 2023

Introduction: Despite policy actions and strategic efforts for improving the reproductive and sexual health of adolescents by promoting the uptake of adolescent reproductive and sexual health (ARSH) services, the utilisation rate remains significantly low, especially in rural areas of India. This study aimed to assess the utilisation of these services by adolescents in rural West Bengal and its associated determinants.
Methods: This mixed-method study was conducted from May to September 2021 in the Gosaba rural block of South 24 Parganas, West Bengal. Quantitative data were collected from 326 adolescents using a pre-tested structured questionnaire. Qualitative data were collected via four focus group discussions among 30 adolescents and key-informant interviews among six healthcare workers. Quantitative data were analysed using SPSS, while qualitative data were analysed thematically.
Results: Ninety-six (29.4%) adolescents had utilised ARSH services at least once during adolescence. The factors associated with non-utilisation of ARSH services were younger age, female sex, increasing reproductive health stigma and decreasing parent–adolescent communication related to sexual health. Qualitative exploration revealed that unawareness regarding services, perceived lack of privacy and confidentiality at healthcare facilities and disruption of services post-emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic were some major barriers to ARSH service utilisation.
Conclusion: A multi-component strategy, including promotion of adolescent-friendly health clinics, community support interventions associated with motivation and counselling of parents regarding the importance of adolescent reproductive health, is needed to improve the utilisation of ARSH services. Necessary steps to correct the deficiencies at the facility level should also be prioritised.

Published: May 2023

Introduction: Medication adherence and metabolic control remain suboptimal among patients with diabetes mellitus in Malaysia despite the clear benefits of reduced vascular complications and mortality risk. This study examined the factors associated with medication adherence and glycaemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in a primary care clinic.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in a public health clinic in Pagoh, Johor, among 386 patients recruited via systematic random sampling. Data were obtained using a validated 7-item structured questionnaire, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) test and medical record review. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the factors associated with medication adherence.
Results: The mean patient age was 60.04±10.75 years, and the mean HbA1c level was 8.3±2.0%. Approximately 60.3% of the participants were adherent to their medication, and an increasing age was significantly associated with medication nonadherence (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 0.959; confidence interval [CI]: 0.934–0.985). Medication adherence (adjusted OR: 2.688; CI: 1.534–4.708) and use of combined oral medications (adjusted OR: 5.604; CI: 3.078–10.203), combined oral medications with insulin (adjusted OR: 23.466; CI: 8.208–67.085) and insulin only (adjusted OR: 6.528; CI: 1.876–22.717) were associated with good glycaemic control. Older age (adjusted OR: 0.954; CI: 0.923–0.986) and Malay ethnicity (adjusted OR: 0.284; CI: 0.101–0.794) were associated with poor glycaemic control.
Conclusion: Suboptimal medication adherence and glycaemic control are prevalent in primary care settings, especially among elderly patients. Counselling should be targeted to patients and their caretakers to improve medication adherence and optimise metabolic control.
CAUSES OF MIGRATION AND ITS IMPACT ON THE ECONOMY
Authors:   Caucasus International University, Margiani Tamar
Published: May 2023

Migration is a process with multi dimensions, which ambiguously effects on various components and individual parameters of the economic life of the host society. Furthermore, direction and intensity of this influence may be importantly different in each concrete case. Due to the specific of immigration, evaluation of its results is difficult task, which requires comprehensive and balanced analysis. It was traditionally considered that immigration provides host society with lost labor recourses and it significantly contributes in their economic development. Migrants often settle within their home region. However, a significant part of international migration takes place over long distances and, in particular, from emerging market and developing economies toward advanced economies. A major reason why people migrate is income differences between origin and destination countries. Richer countries attract more immigrants, especially from countries with younger populations. There is difficulty to evaluate effect of immigration on economic. This is impact on tax incomes and expenses of government. On one side, immigrants pay taxes, helping cover the cost of government. On the other side, they impose costs on the government, because their cars need roads to drive on, their children need schools to study in, and so on. Because many immigrants earn low wages and hence pay low taxes, some estimates suggest that immigrants cost more in additional spending than they pay in. Despite the above international policy coordination is needed to tackle the challenges from refugee migration. This includes sharing the costs from hosting refugees and fostering their integration with emerging and developing economies, such as language training and easier validation of professional titles, can help build even better outcomes from immigration in recipient countries. Keywords: War, labor migration, former international students as labor migrants, unemployment, specialization of agricultural production, protected schemes, increase of incomes.
HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN THE RUSSIA'S WAR ON UKRAINE
Authors: MartonGados Katarzyna , Strzala Karol
Published: May 2023

The recent war in Ukraine (openly started by the Russian Federation on February 24, 2022, and constituting an escalation of ongoing actions from 2014) once again showed that slavery did not disappear, it only took on a modern camouflage. The Internet has replaced the old slave markets, human traffickers have gone underground. But it is still one of the most lucrative practices practiced all over the world. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has recorded numerous cases of sexual violence against women and children trying to cross the border from Ukraine to Poland. Criminals take advantage of their victims by impersonating people offering transport or accommodation. La Strada International, the European platform of anti-trafficking NGOs, also states in its recent report that while it is too early to determine the scale of human trafficking related to the war in Ukraine, “there is already evidence of its activities.” The paper presents an analysis of the impact of Russian aggression on the migration of people from Ukraine and the threat of modern human trafficking. Keywords: human trafficking, Ukraine, Russia, war.

Shaping the Identity through Dramatizing the Memories - A Study of August Wilson’s The Piano Lesson
Authors: Zainab Abdullah Hussein
Published: May 2023

There is no doubt with the claim that the African-American people have been suffering from a traumatic past of slavery and injustice long time ago. Similarly, they still suffer, but presently with another form of discrimination which is racism. The study argues that August Wilson, in particular, and the African-Americans, in general, are tremendously keen on maintaining their memories because memories do have an irreplaceable part in one’s identity. The study explores Wilson’s The Piano Lesson as a case in point. The present study aims at exploring Wilson as a prolific dramatist whose style was so vigorous and a reflection of the African-Americans’ life of. Furthermore, it sheds light on his play, The Piano Lesson, and how it plays a significant role and a powerful testimony in shaping the memories of the African-American people.The study is divided into two sections and a conclusion. The first section introduces the concept of identity, and it comes across August Wilson as a dramatist. Then it deals with the African American Theatre. On the other hand, the second section deals with The Piano Lesson and how it is viewed as a powerful testimony to the idea that the African-American people cherished their own memories since memories shape one’s identity. Eventually, the last part is the conclusion which sums up the research’s findings.

Menurut data Badan Pusat Statistik, pada tahun 2019, Pertumbuhan Ekonomi Kota Biak mengalami kenaikan sebesar 5,13% dibandingkan tahun sebelumnya. Hal ini didukung oleh peningkatan sektor industri pariwisata seperti jasa akomodasi hotel, industri perikanan dan jasa lain nya. Dengan banyaknya potensi yang ada di Kota Biak  di harapkan pemerintah kota mampu untuk menggali setiap potensi yang ada guna untuk membangun dan mensejahtrakan masyarakat Kota Biak . Teknik  analisis  yang  digunakan  adalah Moderated Regretion Analisys. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang dilakukan, dapat disimpulkan bahwa Pendapatan Asli Daerah berpengaruh positif terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi, namun tidak signifikan secara statistik. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa meskipun adanya peningkatan Pendapatan Asli Daerah, namun tidak secara signifikan memberikan dampak positif pada pertumbuhan ekonomi di Kota Biak. Sedangkan Dana Perimbangan justru memiliki pengaruh negatif terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi, namun juga tidak signifikan secara statistik. Hal ini dapat diartikan bahwa meskipun adanya penambahan dana perimbangan, namun tidak secara signifikan memberikan dampak pada pertumbuhan ekonomi di Kota Biak.

Selanjutnya, dalam analisis moderasi regresi, Indeks Pembangunan Manusia hanya memiliki pengaruh terhadap variabel Pendapatan Asli Daerah terhadap Pertumbuhan Ekonomi, namun tidak pada variabel Dana Perimbangan. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa variabel IPM hanya memoderasi hubungan antara Pendapatan  Asli Daerah dan pertumbuhan ekonomi, namun tidak memoderasi hubungan antara Dana Perimbangan dan pertumbuhan ekonomi di Kota Biak. Dalam keseluruhan hasil penelitian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa peningkatan Pendapatan Asli Daerah dan dana perimbangan tidak signifikan secara statistik memberikan pengaruh pada pertumbuhan ekonomi di Kota Biak. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan penelitian lebih lanjut untuk mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor lain yang dapat mempengaruhi pertumbuhan ekonomi di Kota Biak.

Vision impairment is a worldwide problem which significantly impacts quality of life of all ages. For this reason, this study aims to create an enhanced oculus cane which uses a photodiode to help the visually impaired people detect objects, and mobilize freely and safely. To assess its effectiveness, a PN photodiode was utilized which detects objects with programmed barcodes in various distances and sizes. Response time in identifying objects was tested together with the loudness of audio volume measured in decibel. The cane is used mainly in the household, wherein barcodes are scanned by a photodiode connected to a Bluetooth module and transmitter. The Bluetooth module and transmitter are linked to a digital amplifier audio board and double diaphragm speaker, which are used to verbally transmit the name of the object with barcode. The results proved the capabilities of the Oculus cane with 1.60 seconds response time, and scanning range in distances of 4 cm. (minimum) and 22 cm. (maximum), and the sizes of the barcodes 3 cm. and 5 cm. The loudness of the audio volume from the speaker of the Oculus cane was 82.7 dB, the safe level which will not cause damage to the ears. It is therefore recommended to use the enhanced oculus cane with photodiode as an alternative to existing smart canes which is more affordable and offers features which will greatly help visually impaired people live an independent and safe life.
