Language and identity: past concerns, future directions
Authors: McEntee-Atalianis Lisa
Published: December 2022

“Identity” as an operating variable and/or explanatory concept continues to pervade sociolinguistic scholarship. This article reflects on and discusses the continuing dominance of post-structural and social constructionist accounts of identity and debates whether recent work has led to an “unrestrained embracing of speaker agency” (Bell 2017: 592) with a comparative neglect of social structure, or whether this work is contributing to a more nuanced understanding of the relationship between local meaning-making practices and macro-socio(linguistic) processes, and thereby challenging extant binaries in sociolinguistics, in particular: the treatment of stability versus fluidity, agency versus structure and the traditional dichotomy between micro- and macro-sociolinguistics. Reflecting on historical developments and recent trends, it outlines the significant contribution of theoretical models and empirical studies to sociolinguistics, whilst noting obvious gaps, e.g. insufficient studies of the Global South. It is argued that recent work is contributing to a sociolinguistics which foregrounds and problematises the concept of “context” and the contingency of difference and belonging. The paper also argues that recent identity scholarship opens up opportunities for cross-disciplinary projects, drawing on the combined expertise of sociolinguistics, cognitive sociologists and psycholinguists to explain inter alia such phenomena as fluidity and variation in speaker/community attitudes and practices.
Rethinking some terminological and disciplinary boundaries in researching language maintenance and shift (in the context of migration and beyond)
Authors: Šimičić Lucija
Published: December 2022

After more than half a century, sociolinguistic research on language maintenance and shift has developed in different directions depending on the type of speech community it focuses on. The similarities between “indigenous” as autochthonous and “migrant” as allochthonous languages undergoing shift have often been overlooked and the two have been treated differently. Such a division not only reflects a much-debated dichotomy between “old” and “new” minorities in political and legal scholarship, but is also linked to different legal and institutional treatments of such minorities and their languages. However, at a time when the mobilities paradigm has become an integral aspect of sociolinguistic scholarship, there is a need to rethink the way in which sociolinguists have come to terms with migration so far, including a highly problematic and artificial separation of different types of linguistic community based on perceived migrational status. Such a rethink is needed in order to be able to provide more contextualized analyses of locally specific sociolinguistic realities, which can rarely be determined on the basis of widely assumed categorizations.
Misslingensbedingungen einer Plattformintegration. Rekonstruktion eines Software-Entwicklungsprozesses für das Universitätskrankenhaus
Authors: Janssen Maike
Published: December 2022

Die Digitalisierung findet längst auch im Gesundheitswesen und mithin in seiner herausragenden Subinstitution, dem Krankenhaus, statt. Konkrete Digitalisierungsprojekte sind dabei häufig von Mehrdeutigkeiten und Widerständen begleitet, die auf die komplexen soziotechnischen Herstellungszusammenhänge verweisen, in denen sie realisiert werden. Dieser Artikel arbeitet anhand einer empirischen Fallstudie die Ge- bzw. Misslingensbedingungen für die Integration multipler Interessen in eine digitale Überwachungsplattform heraus und geht den strukturellen Effekten des Entwicklungsprozesses für das beteiligte Universitätskrankenhaus nach. Dabei zeigt sich: Erwartungs-, Deutungs- und Konstellationsstrukturen der organisierten Krankenbehandlung können insbesondere dann verändert werden, wenn auch die mehrdimensionale Kontrolle der ökonomischen Übersetzung, die Herstellung zeitlicher Kohärenz und die Kongruenz von digitaltechnischer und sozialer Konstellationsstruktur gelingen. Diese Momente situativer Schließung lassen sich ausgehend von den empirischen Übersetzungen einer digitalen Plattform rekonstruieren und als Bedingung der Möglichkeit für strukturelle Effekte aus dem Plattformentwicklungsprozess behandeln.
Anwesenheit, Adressierbarkeit und Anschlussfähigkeit. Organisationsberatung unter der Bedingung mediatisierter Interaktion in Videokonferenzen
Authors: Herzogenrath Greta
Published: December 2022

Im Zuge der Digitalisierung werden sowohl organisations-interne als auch organisationsübergreifende Interaktionen vermehrt über Video-konferenzen abgehalten. Damit ist auch die Organisationsberatung mit dieser Art der mediatisierten Interaktion konfrontiert und muss in Beratungsgesprächen über Zoom, Skype oder Teams eine Leistung für beratene Organisationen erbringen. Der Beitrag stellt die Unterschiede zwischen Organisationsberatungsinteraktionen face-to-face und unter mediatisierten Bedingungen heraus. Diese werden systematisch anhand ihrer Bezugsprobleme verglichen. Das Konzept der Irritationsgestaltung dient der Beschreibung der Herstellung von Anschlussfähigkeit durch Beratung auf Grundlage von Anwesenheit und Adressierbarkeit und eröffnet neue Blicke auf mögliche Ansatzpunkte der soziologischen Beratungsforschung.
Application of auditory mismatch negativity in tinnitus patients based on high-resolution electroencephalogram signals
Authors: Wang Kunkun , Lu Xiaoling , Sun Shan
Published: December 2022

Objective

The purpose of this study was to investigate the significance of mismatch negativity (MMN) by comparing high-resolution electroencephalogram signals from tinnitus patients and healthy controls.

Methods

The study included eight subjects with chronic subjective idiopathic tinnitus and seven healthy controls. Participants with clinical speech (512–2,000 Hz) hearing thresholds less than 25 dB HL and with negative Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale scores were included in the study. The E-Prime 2.0 software and a 256-electrode EGI Net Station system were used to evoke and record the MMN signal, and the amplitude and latency parameters of the MMN responses were compared between the two groups.

Results

From 150 ms, there was a significant difference between the amplitude of standard stimulation and deviation stimulation, and the event-related potential amplitude under deviation stimulation in the tinnitus patient group was significantly different from that in the healthy group. The MMN amplitude of the FCz electrode was statistically significantly lower in the tinnitus patients compared to healthy controls.

Conclusion

MMN has application value in the evaluation of abnormal electrical activity in the auditory pathway, and electroencephalograms are feasible for follow-up monitoring after acoustic therapy.
An archaeology of conversion? Evidence from Adulis for early Christianity and religious transition in the Horn of Africa
Authors: Castiglia Gabriele
Published: December 2022

The port-city of Adulis in modern Eritrea was a key node on the Red Sea linking the Kingdom of Aksum to the Mediterranean, the Middle East and the Indian Ocean. Recent excavations at Adulis have reinvestigated two early Christian churches. New radiocarbon analysis dates both structures to the sixth and early seventh centuries AD, with multiple phases of architectural development reflecting changing use and liturgy. The author uses evidence for both continuity and change in architectural materials, construction styles and sacred practices to assess religious transition at Adulis, and across the Aksumite Kingdom more broadly. Moving beyond an archaeology of conversion, the article reinforces recent work on cosmopolitanism in the Horn of Africa.

Published: December 2022

Juvenile fibromyalgia (JFM) is a chronic, disabling, and widespread musculoskeletal pain condition accompanied by many comorbid symptoms. Current guidelines recommend multidisciplinary care, including physical therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Regular aerobic training and strengthening exercises are useful in treating fibromyalgia and are often recommended under the care of trained professionals. In 2020, COVID-19 caused nationwide disruption in health care, requiring health care practices to allow for treatment through telehealth platforms. The Fibromyalgia Integrative Training (FIT Teens) program used in-person, group-based CBT combined with neuromuscular training (NMT) for adolescents with fibromyalgia and suspended treatment sessions under COVID-19 restrictions. The behavioral and exercise components were converted to a remotely delivered program to maintain treatment options. This article reviews the process of modifying the NMT protocol, including practical and clinical considerations, and highlights the benefits and limitations of remote delivery. The remote NMT program maintains the principal components of the in-person program and allows continued access to treatment during the pandemic. Many aspects of health care that have been converted to telehealth may likely offer these types of treatment in the future. Hence, the learnings of the FIT Teens project may be useful in designing future remote exercise interventions.
Safety: From the Paris Morgue to Oxytocin
Authors: Brockman Richard
Published: December 2022

On Tuesday April 21, 1896, Freud gave a lecture to the Viennese medical community arguing that “hysteria,” as it was then known, was caused by memories of actual physical and sexual abuse suffered in childhood. Freud rightly felt that he had made a major discovery about the science of hysteria, of psychotherapy, and of the mind. However, his idea was ridiculed. Freud's reaction to his detractors was swift: “They can go to hell.” Freud withdrew “into a cocoon.” When he emerged a year later, he brought with him a new science—the “science” of psychoanalysis, which for all its creativity and imagination, was devoid of science. One of the core concepts that would be sacrificed was safety itself. The “reality” of safety (and thus the reality of danger) was replaced by the “phantasy” of safety (and thus the phantasy of danger). This article reexamines some of the science that psychoanalysis took out. In particular the article looks at early attachment, safety, oxytocin, and the role of the autonomic nervous system. The reintroduction of science to psychotherapy is critical if psychotherapy is to be a science of the mind.

Published: December 2022

This paper introduces recent activities related to the structural and environmental engineering in Japan. Part 1 in this paper illustrates outline of recent research and standardization related to ensuring wind resistant performance of tiled roofs. We introduce the results of damage survey on tiled roofs caused by Typhoon Faxai in 2019, which was conducted by National Institute for Land and Infrastructure Management and Building Research Institute in collaboration with clay roof tile industry organization. Then, the outline of the wind load calculation method stipulated in the Building Standards Law and the amended Notification for roof tiles is illustrated. In addition, “Guideline for Standard Structural Design/Construction for Tiled Roof” was revised in July 2021 as a supplement to the law. The outline of monotonous pull-up test and the standard specifications, both of which are newly added to the revised version of the Guideline, are also introduced. These activities are aimed to reduce structural vulnerability of tiled roofs, based on the lessons learned from the damage caused by the typhoon. In Part 2, we introduce activities to promote the appropriate use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in wind environment prediction. A working group within the Architectural Institute of Japan compiled a new CFD guidebook and guidelines for urban wind environment prediction, mainly aiming to include the application of large-eddy simulation to pedestrian-level wind problems or dispersion problems relating to concentration and temperature in cities. Reflecting the latest domestic and international research trends and the WG’s validation works, achievements of their activities were published as “Guidebook for CFD Predictions of Urban Wind Environment” (2020, in Japanese), papers in international journals, and an extended experimental database for verification and validation of analysis codes.
Simulation Study of Cooling System for Photovoltaic Panel Using Ansys
Authors: Tahar M.S. , Rosli N.
Published: December 2022

Photovoltaic or PV system are very important nowadays because of its functionality of absorbing energy of sunlight and convert it to electric energy. By applying the PV panel, it can cut the cost of billing for the users. It also called a green technology because it produces clean of the energy that can avoid from global warming and air pollutant. Despite of the benefits that it produces, the efficiency process of the system depends on how it been take care. The PV panel cannot be exposed to the high temperature of sunlight. If PV panel getting hot, the PV panel system cannot produce a full of its efficiency to user. By applying the cooling system on the PV panel, it can control and reduce the temperature of PV panel when the temperature increase. The simulation run was taken place in this research by using Ansys software. The result shows the reduction of the temperature of PV panel by applying mass flow rate of air and water. The inclination angle also plays a role in the simulation because if the angle of inclination of PV panel exposed more to sunlight it easily can make the PV panel hot. When the values of the mass flow rate increased, the lower the temperature of the PV panel can be achieved.
SIMULATION OF HEAT GENERATION IN FRICTION SURFACE CLADDING (FSC) OF MULTILAYER AA2024
Authors: Izuan Muhamad Afiq , Yusoff Nor Imrah
Published: December 2022

Friction surface cladding (FSC) is a solid-state cladding process that produces a thin metal layer on the substrate. It can be utilised at the surface to change the mechanical and corrosive properties of structural materials. There is a lack of retaining between the clad material and the substrate, resulting in loss of retaining between the clad material and the substrate. In this project, to estimate the heat generation during friction surface cladding (FSC) process for multilayer AA2024 using comsol multiphysics 5.5. The process parameter with different layer thickness has been investigated. Clad layer thickness 0.4mm -1.6mm (0.4mm each layer) with constant rotation speed 600rpm and translation speed 30mm/min was tested in this simulation to detect heat distribution. From the simulation result, the temperature increases significantly when cladding process started. With the thickness layer 0.4mm, the simulation shows the highest temperature which is same as the experimental result. For the conclusion, the clad layer thickness can affect the heat generation during friction surface cladding. As a result, the rate of heat generation is inversely proportional to the thickness of the clad layer. The thicker the clad layer, the lower the rate of heat distribution.

Concepción y práctica de la actualidad de la argumentación multimodal como fenómeno cognitivo, social y emergente
Authors: Sánchez Álvarez Dionisio Javier
Published: December 2022

La argumentación es el engranaje de un proceso cognitivo de reconstrucción cuando se manifiesta en el espacio próximo discursivo. La perspectiva cognitivo-semiótica de la argumentación multimodal sugiere que, en función del conocimiento que se posee, de los códigos y signos empleados (modos) y del contexto, ciertas estructuras multimodales pueden conducir a algunas audiencias hacia una representación mental precisa de la argumentación, sin necesidad de ninguna estructura formal normalizada y verbal. Somos capaces de argumentar con otro(s) de forma efectiva sin necesidad de una translación verbal de los contenidos en un espacio que incluye la interpretación semiótica del mensaje.

The aim of this study was to assess the level of nitric oxide production and arginase activity in patients with arterial hypertension and type II diabetes mellitus during infection with SARS-CoV-2. The study groups included patients with arterial hypertension, patients with arterial hypertension combined with a severe course of COVID-19 and patients who, in addition to arterial hypertension and COVID-19, were suffering from type II diabetes mellitus. The volunteers without any clinical signs of diseases and normal blood pressure formed the control group. It has been established that arterial hypertension, combined with COVID-19 occurs along with reduced L-arginine, nitric oxide, superoxide dismutase activity and increased arginase activity. At the same time, the presence of arterial hypertension in patients with diabetes and coronavirus disease is accompanied by a decline in the content of L-arginine and arginase activity. Our study’s results may help scientists find new pharmacological targets in the future treatment of coronavirus disease and comorbid disorders. Keywords: arginase, COVID-19, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, L-arginine, nitric oxide, superoxide dismutase

Authors: Teixeira Martins Marcos Vinicius , Cunha Sobrinho Márcio Cesário , Machado de Souza Gabriel , Vilges de Oliveira Stefan
Published: December 2022

Introduction: Tuberculosis is the major cause of health problems among communicable diseases and predominates as an etiology in cases of death from a single infectious agent. In the prison environment, this is even more evident, as overcrowding, poor nutrition, drug consumption and the coexistence of other diseases, associated with the precariousness of the health service, favors the spread of the disease within the walls and to the families of inmates. Currently, it is estimated that the incidence of tuberculosis in the population deprived of liberty corresponds to approximately 11.2% of new cases in the country, and this group represents only 0.3% of the Brazilian population.  Methods: In this context, the present study aims to carry out an epidemiological analysis of tuberculosis in the prison population of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, based on secondary data from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN), in addition to identifying the main factors related to this type of involvement using measures of dispersion, central tendency and frequency, as well as Student’s T tests for independent samples and Mann-Whitney U tests in cases where the assumptions for parametric tests were not met, considering a 95 % confidence interval. Results: 1880 cases of tuberculosis were registered, with a monthly average of 22.38 notifications. The proximity of the factors brown ethnicity, male sex, age between 20 and 29 years to the center of case density and between the use of alcohol, other drugs and the abandonment of treatment was notable. Conclusion: Thus, the need for new prevention strategies in this context is highlighted due to the high incidence of tuberculosis, often related to negligence and misinformation.
Problemas asociados a la gestión social del agua en seis comunidades indígenas costarricenses (2019-2020)
Authors: Chacón Jiménez Luz María , Mora González Ana Lucía
Published: December 2022

Objetivo: comprender mejor los problemas asociados a la gestión social del agua en seis comunidades indígenas a partir de datos cualitativos y cuantitativos obtenidos durante el periodo 2020-2021. Metodología: se realizó una investigación de tipo mixta y exploratoria de la cual se obtuvieron datos cualitativos y cuantitativos. Los datos cualitativos fueron resultado de los talleres en el marco del proyecto de investigación B9314 «Gestión social del agua en los territorios indígenas desde la sociología visual. Casos seleccionados en las provincias de Puntarenas y Limón»; mientras tanto, los cuantitativos provinieron de los análisis de calidad del agua en puntos clave identificados por la comunidad. Resultados: el estudio mostró que 13 de las 15 muestras de agua recolectadas revelaron predominantemente contaminación fecal de origen animal, pero también de origen antrópico. Según los talleres realizados en la comunidad, dicho resultado puede atribuirse a una posible combinación de factores de degradación ambiental, entre ellos, la usurpación de tierras por personas no indígenas, la deforestación, el crecimiento demográfico, la contaminación y la falta de políticas efectivas para proteger las fuentes de agua, tanto al interior de los territorios como a nivel institucional, lo que se agrava debido al limitado accionar del Instituto Costarricense de Acueductos y Alcantarillados respecto al suministro de agua para consumo humano en los casos de estudio. Conclusiones: los problemas asociados a la gestión social del agua en las comunidades estudiadas son de naturaleza multicausal, por tal motivo, demandan procesos multidisciplinarios de capacitación y acompañamiento a fin de mejorar la calidad de vida de las poblaciones indígenas.

A Serdülő Reziliencia Kérdőív (READ) magyar nyelvű adaptációja
Authors: Kóródi Kitti , Szél Erzsébet , Szabó Éva
Published: December 2022

Háttér és célkitűzések

A tanulmány célja a Hjemdal és munkatársai (2006) által kidolgozott Serdülő Reziliencia Kérdőív hazai adaptációja, amely alkalmas serdülők és fiatal felnőttek személyes és környezeti erőforrásainak mérésére.

Módszer

Magyar középiskolásokból és egyetemistákból (M = 18,85 év, SD = 2,39) álló mintán (Nközépiskolás = 490; Negyetemista = 593) ellenőriztük a kérdőív szerkezetét, belső megbízhatóságát, konstruktív validitását, illetve a reziliencia kapcsolatát demográfiai és pszichológiai jellegű változókkal.

Eredmények

A feltáró és megerősítő faktorelemzés szerint az ötfaktoros struktúra jellemző a kérdőívre, amelyet a célorientáció, a családi összetartás, a szociális kompetencia, a társas támogatottság és a magabiztosság alskálák alkotnak. A reziliencia kérdőíven a nemek között a társas támogatás és a magabiztosság alskálán találtunk különbséget, az életkor tekintetében pedig szintén a társas támogatás alskálán különböztek a 15–18 évesek és a 18–24 évesek pontszámai. Az észlelt társas támogatás pozitív irányú összefüggést mutatott a rezilienciával, a problémaviselkedés megjelenése azonban negatív irányút, ami alátámasztotta a Serdülő Reziliencia Kérdőív konstruktív validitását.

Következtetések

Az eredmények alapján kialakított 28 tételes kérdőív alkalmasnak bizonyult a serdülők és fiatal felnőtt rezilienciájának felmérésére, illetve azon belül a környezeti és személyes erőforrások elkülönítésére. A Cronbach-alfa-mutatók alapján minden alskála és a teljes skála belső megbízhatósága megfelelő mértékű. A kérdőív emiatt alkalmas lehet további feltáró kutatásokban való alkalmazásra.
“Maps are all we Possess”
Authors: Jahnel Claudia
Published: December 2022

“Africa,” “ancestors,” “animism,” “authenticity,” these and other terms have shaped the scholarly research on African religions as well as the discursive field of African theology(ies). Over and above, they are still prevalent in stereotypical images of life and culture in “Africa.” A network of scholars of religious studies and of intercultural theology from Europe and Africa called “Theology(ies) Africa” has focused on analyzing the genealogy of terms that have become crucial in the study of religion and theology. The guiding assumption is that there are no simple terms. Terms are products of powerful and even conflicting processes of generating meaning, creating knowledge and exerting epistemic violence. The essay at hand displays guiding assumptions and crucial insights of the network group that is unique in the German speaking academic context. Established in 2017 its goal is to further the exchange between scholars who work on the religious and theological negotiations between Africa and Europe and to further especially young scientists in the field.

This paper discusses the commonalities/differences between the understandings of holy mountains in Hinduism and Christianity. The first part deals with Ramana Maharshi’s understanding of the holy mountain Arunachala—his attraction to and reinterpretations of it. The second part presents Abhishiktananda’s views on Arunachala, particularly with regard to Christian mysticism. Here the focus is on how he engaged in an interreligious interpretation of the mountain. In the final section, the paper explores the implications of such studies to the field of Comparative Religions. The paper deals with the following questions: Do comparative studies of religious concepts produce metanarratives for further investigation? Do similarities/dissimilarities point to a dependence/autonomy of concepts? Are there enduring patterns to look for in future in such intercultural hermeneutical exercises?

Authors: Ptáčková Monika , Martins Bruce , Lukasova Katerina
Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT Purpose: to compare, with Adult Reading History Questionnaire results, the reading habits of adults with and without dyslexia of different cultures and languages. Methods: the research comprised 119 university students (60 Czechs and 59 Brazilians, half of them with dyslexia) assessed by responding to the self-report reading history questionnaire and taking a reading level test. ARHQ scores were compared between the groups and countries with the analysis of variance (ANOVA), and their correlation was assessed with the Spearman’s test, both with the significance level set at p < 0.05. Results: adults with dyslexia had lower reading habit scores and reading level scores than typical readers in both languages. Reading habits were positively correlated with reading levels in both languages. Regardless of the group, Brazilians had lower reading habit scores than Czechs. Conclusion: the results suggest that self-assessing reading habits is an effective way to screen for reading disorders. However, cultural and school factors must be considered.

ABSTRACT Purpose: to identify the impact of swallowing changes and dysphagia complaints on quality-of-life and eating self-assessments of COVID-19 inpatients. Methods: the study comprised 54 COVID-19 inpatients above 18 years old, whose swallowing was clinically assessed by a speech-language-hearing therapist. They were classified regarding food intake (with the FOIS scale) and degree of dysphagia. They also filled out a sample characterization questionnaire and the SWAL-QOL and EAT-10 protocols. Results: the respiratory condition led to worse quality-of-life self-assessment Fatigue results, oral food intake and dysphagia severity classifications. Females had worse quality-of-life self-assessment Burden and Food selection scores. Swallowing complaints were associated with worse eating self-assessments. Patients at risk of dysphagia had worse quality-of-life self-assessments in five out of the 11 domains, worse oral food intake levels, and worse dysphagia severity. Conclusion: COVID-19 inpatients commonly have swallowing complaints and are at risk of dysphagia, with worse quality-of-life self-assessment, lower oral food intake classification, and worse dysphagia severity rating.

Published: December 2022

Since its introduction several decades ago, online learning has become a component of higher education, with institutions worldwide providing a form of online course delivery. One key feature of online learning is the use of video conferencing software and the use of a video camera feature. Grounded on Vygotsky and Wallon's ideas of how emotion and cognition are interconnected and equally relevant in learning processes, this paper aims to understand how the use of the video camera feature in synchronous online group work affects relationship building in those settings and the students' overall learning experience. Qualitative findings from 22 semistructured interviews completed with 12 students and 10 instructors enrolled in Canadian postsecondary online teacher education courses are shared. Results indicate instructors and students perceive there are consequences for turning the video camera on and off during synchronous sessions and that seeing others on camera helps promote positive affective relationships among students. The findings contribute to the literature related to video camera usage in online learning environments and serve to inform institutions and instructors designing online courses with synchronous group activities.

Published: December 2022

Some extreme properties of cocoons are first revealed, which are extremely helpful for practical applications in the textile field (e.g., spacesuits and firefighters' clothing) and architectural engineering (e.g., thermal insulation coatings of buildings). The aim of this work is to study the cocoons' thermal response to a sudden thermal shock and explain it physically from the direction ofmathematical analysis. The cocoon is considered a fractal space, and a fractal variational theory is established to present its excellent advantages regarding thermal shock. The two-scale fractal dimension of the cocoon's hierarchical structure plays an important role in its biomechanism, and its value is close to 1.618, the golden mean, implying an optimal porous structure for pupa to survive in an extreme environment.

Published: December 2022

This paper reports the effect of incorporating Inconel particles as filler for enhancing the delamination and mechanical strength of glass-fiber-reinforced epoxy composites. It is intended for application in renewable energy. Glass fiber plays a vital role in renewable-energy industries for its non-corrosiveness and lower maintenance cost. The mechanical properties of glass fibers make the renewable industry for effective utilization in the manufacturing of turbine blades in onshore and offshore environments, as well as the addition of fillers enhances the mechanical properties of the material. This study comprises validating three different compositions of Inconel blended with epoxy resin for the preparation of laminates using a vacuum-infusion process. The tensile and flexural properties of the composites were experimentally examined and validated for the enhanced use of structural applications in the field of renewable energy. In addition to the mechanical characterization, a finite-element validation was used to determine the delamination effect. The Ansys Composite PrePost (ACP) module was used to validate the Inconel-blended composite materials. The flammability characteristics were determined as per the UL-94 standard for both vertical and horizontal flame tests. The water-absorption characteristics were also estimated for the three different proportions of the Inconel-filled laminates. The study reveals that the incorporation of Inconel powder enhanced the mechanical properties, contact angle and the fire-retardant characteristics of the glass-fiber epoxy-blended laminates.
