The objective of this study was to develop an Inference System based on the Fuzzy Mamdani system for assessing the teaching skills of faculty members in academic or educational institutions. Nowadays, many academic institutions have adopted web-based methods to gather students' feedback on faculty members' teaching effectiveness. Evaluating faculty performance in teaching activities is crucial for establishing a more equitable academic environment. The primary goal of assessing faculty performance is to identify areas of strength and weakness in their professional development. This application of soft computing, specifically the Fuzzy Mamdani Inference System (FMIS), in evaluating faculty teaching performance can be valuable for organizational management in assessing faculty capabilities and their impact on student outcomes.

Constituindo-se como uma necessidade social, a tradução de textos científicos para a língua brasileira de sinais (Libras) tem possibilitado acesso de pessoas surdas ao conhecimento disponível em língua portuguesa no Brasil. Neste artigo, objetiva-se discutir aspectos da tradução especializada intermodal de textos sobre a biologia humana. Para isso, com base em autores do campo dos Estudos Surdos e dos Estudos da Tradução, analisa-se a tradução, em Libras, de três textos em língua portuguesa que servem de apoio à mediação de visitas no Museu de Ciências da Vida (MCV) da Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo (Ufes): Sistema Urinário, Sistema Respiratório e Sistema Cardiovascular. Dentre os principais aspectos sobre essas traduções, destacam-se: (i) a atuação de uma tradutora surda que tem a Libras como sua primeira língua, o que a torna uma tradução direta; (ii) a escolha por não gerar neologismos na língua de chegada para traduzir termos da língua de partida; e (iii) o uso de classificadores para descrever fenômenos bioquímicos, órgãos e substâncias. Considera-se importante que mais estudos evidenciem as contribuições de tradutores surdos em processos tradutórios de textos especializados que proporcionam a divulgação e ampliação do conhecimento científico em Libras.

This community service is an activity that aims to help the community to be able to reduce the impact of waste and make waste a blessing. Garbage is until recently a serious problem for us. This is a complex environmental problem and tends to increase when the population increases along with the speed of development and economy of a region. To overcome these problems, the community should be aware of the importance of the surrounding environment. One of the community participation is by holding a waste bank program. Waste banks are one of the strategies for implementing 3R (reduce, reuse, recycle) in waste processing at the community level with an economic incentive pattern. Integrated waste processing can stimulate community creativity and innovation so as to improve the welfare of residents. Waste can be a source of economic empowerment of the community, by recycling it into unique items that make money. The focus of this service is to form a community that cares about waste and develop waste banks into one of the activities in the circular economy that can help the economy of people affected by waste which is thrown into the environment every day

La investigación tuvo como objetivo evaluar las partículas suspendidas totales (PST) del flujo vehicular en la avenida Cusco de la ciudad de Tacna. El estudio se desarrolló entre los meses de febrero y abril del año 2022, utilizando el método gravimétrico mediante colectores pasivos de polvo. Se fijaron estaciones de monitoreo en 14 puntos ubicados en ambos carriles lo largo de la avenida, se recolectaron los datos de concentración por periodos parciales de 30 días cada una. Simultáneamente, se midió el flujo vehicular respecto a las estaciones. Los resultados muestran que en seis estaciones de monitoreo, la concentración de PST sobrepasó el valor guía (5 ton/km2 /mes) establecido por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS). No se encontró correlación significativa entre los valores de las partículas y el flujo vehicular. Se concluye que las concentraciones de material particulado estarían más bien ocasionadas por intrusión de polvo, asociadas a las variables climáticas y ubicación geográfica de la zona..
Deforestación y pérdida de bosques en la Provincia de Condorcanqui, Amazonas, Perú, durante el período 2001-2021
Authors: Vicuña Yonz Jose Angelo , Almanza Quispe Williams Sergio
Published: July 2023

El artículo analiza la deforestación y pérdida de bosques en la Provincia de Condorcanqui, Amazonas, durante el período de 2001 a 2020. Se observa que el año 2020 experimentó la tasa más alta de deforestación, lo que indica un incremento significativo en comparación con años anteriores. Esta deforestación a gran escala puede tener graves consecuencias ambientales, como la pérdida de biodiversidad y el aumento de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero. Por otro lado, el año 2009 muestra la tasa más baja de deforestación, lo cual indica una disminución en la pérdida de bosques en comparación con el año anterior. Sin embargo, una tasa negativa no implica necesariamente un aumento neto en la cobertura forestal, ya que puede reflejar procesos de regeneración o compensación en áreas previamente afectadas. Se identifica la tala ilegal como una de las principales causas de la deforestación, y se destaca la responsabilidad de las instituciones estatales para controlar y combatir esta actividad, promoviendo la gestión sostenible de los recursos forestales. En conclusión, se observa un preocupante aumento de la deforestación en la Provincia de Condorcanqui, Amazonas, durante el período estudiado. Es necesario tomar medidas efectivas para frenar la tala ilegal, promover prácticas de conservación y uso sostenible de los recursos forestales, fortalecer la fiscalización y el monitoreo de las actividades forestales, y fomentar la participación de las comunidades locales en la gestión forestal.

DeepQ Based Heterogeneous Clustering Hybrid Cloud Prediction Using K-Means Algorithm
Authors: Sasi Kumar A. , Aithal P. S.
Published: July 2023

Purpose: The fields of data mining rely heavily on clustering algorithms. Spread information mining systems and fundamentally decentralized batching turned out to be generally utilized over the past 10 years, as they oversee huge and heterogeneous informational indexes that can't be gathered in the center.
Objectives/Methodology: For geographic data mining datasets, numerous classification algorithms operate on both local and hierarchical levels. In this paper, we propose a novel method for clustering heterogeneous distributed datasets based on K-Means algorithms (HCA-K-Means). When the algorithm was tested against the BIRCH and DBScan algorithms, it performed better and took less time to run.
Results/Findings: In both the partitioning and the organizational groups, there are some flaws. The k-means algorithm allows the number of clusters to be determined in advance for the partitioning class, but in most cases, K is not specified, moreover, hierarchical clustering algorithms have overcome this limit, but still define the stopping conditions that are not straightforward for clustering decomposition. However, the current methods for pruning immaterial groups rely on jumping hyperspheres or even jumping square forms, whose ineffectiveness in the careful search for the nearest neighbor is negated by their lack of snugness.

Development and Performance Evaluation of a Mix-Kneader for
Drying Soap
Authors: J. Kigozi, , N. Kisuule, , P. Tumutegyereize,
Published: July 2023

Soap is a salt of fatty acids obtained worldwide from mainly agricultural products and by-products such as plant (vegetable) oils (Yahaya et al., 2012). Drying neat soap is one of the key steps in the process of manufacturing bar soap. Currently, small and medium-scale local processors in Uganda rely entirely on tarpaulins and buckets to dry neat soap. These methods are labor intensive and take a lot of time (about 24 hours) to dry soap from 29-35% (w.b.) to the required moisture content of 15% – 21% (w.b.). Therefore, the aim of this research was to develop a Mix-kneader for drying soap in order to boost local production of bar soap. First, the different parts of the machine were designed and sized with the help of Solid Edge ST9 mechanical computer-based software. Fabrication of the component parts was done and finally, performance evaluation of the machine was carried out. At ‘No’ load test, the results indicated that the machine can run freely without too much noise and there were no visual breakdowns. At ‘Full’ load test, the Mix-kneader was able to dry 180 kg of neat soap in an average time of 15.5 minutes. The average machine capacity was approximately 560 kg/hr with a drying efficiency of 83.4%. The drying rate of the machine was calculated as 2.13 kg of water per minute. The material wastage was calculated as 1.31% which can be attributed to the fabrication errors. The developed Mix-kneader is affordable to processors and can be fabricated from any workshop within the country since it was developed from locally available materials.

Modular Framework for the Solution of Boundary-coupled Multiphysics Problems
Authors: St-Onge Gabriel , Olivier Mathieu
Published: July 2023

This paper presents a modular multiphysics framework developed for OpenFOAM. The framework is built around an iterative implicit coupling scheme based on a multi-region partitioned approach. This scheme allows the implementation of formal implicit time-marching schemes, which improves the stability of strongly interacting coupled problems. This methodology allows physical interactions to be handled through specifically designed interface boundary conditions. It also allows region-specific solvers to be implemented as modular class solvers. The coupling methodology is handled with a main program that manages solver-specific actions. The aim of this framework is to facilitate the implementation and testing of new multiphysics coupling problems in an integrated code structure. To show the capabilities of the framework to integrate new physics, solvers and boundary conditions requirements are discussed. Also, three validated examples involving fluid-structure interactions, conjugate heat transfer, and fluid-structure-thermal interactions are presented. Although all these problems are boundary-coupled multiphysics problems, the framework is conceptually not limited to this kind of problems. The benefit of this work to the OpenFOAM community is a general and modular framework that facilitates the setup and solution of diversified multiphysics problems, and that illustrates the implementation of modular interface boundary conditions between physics regions.

This study aims to analyze the relationship between Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and financial institutions concerning loan repayment. The data used in this research is both qualitative and quantitative primary data. The study collected a sample of 100 micro and small enterprises distributed in Aceh Barat. The data analysis employed probability and binary logit models.The results of the data analysis indicate that loan repayment difficulties, interest rates, collateral, and own capital have a negative impact on MSMEs' access to financial institutions. The variable that has the most significant impact on MSMEs' accessibility to financial institutions is the interest rate, followed by collateral and own capital. To improve MSMEs' access to financial institutions, government attention is crucial. Providing low-interest credit for MSMEs, easing collateral requirements, and promoting the establishment of various Islamic financial institutions are essential steps. This is because the growth of MSMEs contributes to increased employment opportunities and economic growth.

Shrimp and milkfish cultivation is a form of aquaculture that is widely developed in this village. In addition, there are also crab catching activities. Community empowerment activities through the use of existing land for the development of vaname shrimp cultivation. This activity lasts 2 months from April to June 2021. The main goal is to improve community skills in the process of vaname shrimp cultivation. Training, both practical and theoretical, was provided mainly in the form of knowledge and technical skills regarding the preparation of vaname shrimp ponds. The community involved in vaname shrimp cultivation activities in Semut Village is the "Kolbu Vaname Amanah Semut" group. The empowerment scheme is carried out by providing assistance in the form of a package of vaname shrimp fry, feed, and windmills through this group. Through this activity, the community felt a change in the form of additional knowledge, harvests, income, and technology development.

Abstract. Global measurements of horizontal winds in cloud and precipitating systems represent a gap in the global observing system. The WIVERN mission, one of the four candidates to be the ESA's Earth Explorer 11 mission, aims at filling this gap based on a conically scanning W-band Doppler radar instrument. The determination of the antenna boresight mispointing angles and the impact of their uncertainty on the line of sight velocities is critical to achieve the mission requirements. While substantial industrial efforts are on their ways for achieving accurate determination of the pointing, alternative (external) calibration approaches are currently under scrutiny. This work discusses four methods applicable to the WIVERN radar that can be used to correct antenna mispointing both in the azimuthal and in the elevation directions at different time scales. Results show that elevation mispointing is well corrected at very short time scales by monitoring the range at which the surface peak occurs. Azimuthal mispointing is harder but can be tackled by using the expected profiles of the non-moving surface Doppler. Biases in pointing at longer time scales can be monitored by using well established reference database (e.g. ECMWF reanalysis) or ad-hoc ground based calibrators. Although tailored to the WIVERN mission, the proposed methodologies can be extended to other Doppler concepts featuring conically scanning or slant viewing Doppler systems.

Abstract. The extent of the potassium (K) limitation of forest productivity is probably more widespread than previously thought, and K limitation could influence the response of forests to future global changes. To understand the effects of K limitation on forest primary production, we have developed the first ecophysiological model simulating the K cycle and its interactions with the carbon (C) and water cycles. We focused on the limitation of the gross primary productivity (GPP) by K availability in tropical eucalypt plantations in Brazil. We used results from stand-scale fertilisation experiments as well as C flux measurements in two tropical eucalypt plantations to parameterise the model. The model was parameterised for fertilised conditions and then used to test for the effects of contrasting additions of K fertiliser. Simulations showed that K deficiency limits GPP by more than 50 % during a 6-year rotation, a value in agreement with estimations in K-limited eucalypt stands. Simulations showed a decrease of modelled canopy transpiration of around 50 % and a decrease in modelled water-use efficiency WUEGPP of 10 %. Through a sensitivity analysis, we used the model to identify the most critical processes to consider when studying K limitation of GPP. The inputs of K to the stands, such as the atmospheric deposition and weathering fluxes, and the regulation of the cycle of K within the ecosystem were critical for the response of the system to K deficiency. Litter leaching processes were of lower importance, since residence time of K in litter was low. The new forest K-cycle model developed in the present study includes multiple K processes interacting with the carbon and water cycles, and strong feedbacks on GPP were outlined. This is a first step in identifying the source or sink limitation of forest growth by K.

Abstract. The determination of dissolved gases (O2, CO2, CH4, N2O, N2) in surface waters allows to estimate biological processes and greenhouse gas fluxes in aquatic ecosystems. Mercuric chloride (HgCl2) has been widely used to preserve water samples prior to gas analysis. However, alternates are needed because of the environmental impacts and regulation of mercury. HgCl2 is a weak acid and interferes with dissolved organic carbon (DOC). Hence, we tested the effect of HgCl2 and two substitutes (copper (II) chloride – CuCl2 and silver nitrate – AgNO3), as well as storage time (24 h to 3 months) on the determination of dissolved gases in low ionic strength and high DOC lake water. Furthermore, we investigated and predicted the effect of HgCl2 on CO2 concentrations in periodic samples from another lake experiencing pH variations (5.4–7.3) related to in situ photosynthesis. Samples fixed with inhibitors generally showed negligible O2 consumption. However, effective preservation of dissolved CO2, CH4 and N2O for up to three months prior to dissolved gas analysis, was only achieved with AgNO3. In contrast, HgCl2 and CuCl2 caused an initial increase in CO2 and N2O followed by a decrease. The CO2 overestimation, caused by HgCl2-acidification and shift in the carbonate equilibrium, can be calculated from predictions of chemical speciation. Errors due to CO2 overestimation in HgCl2-preserved water, sampled from low ionic strength and high DOC freshwater, could lead to an overestimation of the CO2 diffusion efflux by a factor of >20 over a month, or a factor of 2 over the ice-free season.
Brief communication: Soil moisture observations reconcile the discrepancy in detecting tornado early-stage track during the 24–25 March 2023 Mississippi outbreak

Abstract. A series of tornadoes hit Western Mississippi on 24–25 March 2023, resulting in at least 26 deaths and massive destruction. The most devasting long-track EF4 tornado has been confirmed to touch down at southeast of Mayersville, Mississippi, however considerable inconsistency was found regarding its touchdown location and precise damage track between the onsite spotter reports and aftermath damage survey assessments. Such variation is a combined result of nocturnal occurrence (low nighttime visibility for spotter) and lack of assessment reference on non-vegetated farmland (high uncertainty of damage location for ground survey). This study suggests such discrepancy can be reconciled through the tornado damage scar captured by soil moisture observations.
