Tradicionalmente, el inicio de nutrición enteral, luego de una gastrostomía endoscópica percutánea (GEP) se realiza entre 12 a 24 horas. Diferentes investigaciones sugieren que iniciarla más temprano podría ser una opción segura. El objetivo es determinar si el inicio de nutrición enteral a las 4 horas después de realizar GEP es una conducta segura en cuanto al riesgo de intolerancia, complicaciones o muerte, comparado con iniciarla a las 12 horas. Realizamos un estudio prospectivo, aleatorizado, multicéntrico en instituciones de tercer y cuarto nivel de Bogotá y Cundinamarca, entre junio de 2020 y mayo de 2022, se incluyeron 117 pacientes que fueron aleatorizados en 2 grupos, el grupo A de inicio temprano de nutrición (4 horas), y el grupo B de inicio estándar (12 horas). El mecanismo más frecuente de disfagia fue la enfermedad cerebrovascular (43%), seguido por complicaciones de infección por COVID-19 (26%). No hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los grupos evaluados respecto al porcentaje de intolerancia a la nutrición, RR = 0,93 (IC 0,30-2,90), tampoco hubo diferencias en términos de complicaciones posoperatorias, (RR) = 0,34 (IC 0,09-1,16), y no se encontraron diferencias en la mortalidad entre los grupos evaluados, (RR) = 1,12 (IC 0,59 – 2,15). En conclusión, el inicio de nutrición a través de la gastrostomía de forma temprana, 4 horas después de la realización de la GEP es una conducta segura que no se relaciona con una mayor intolerancia a la nutrición, complicaciones o muerte, en comparación con un inicio más tardío.

Published: October 2023

The use of pili shells as fuel in a biomass roasting furnace for roasting meat was investigated in this study. To estimate the capacity of pili shells in roasting meat, researchers used observation, experimentation, data analysis, and interpretation. Pili shells as a fuel were found to be a good substitute for roasting. Pili shells are more effective than an electric oven, according to the researchers. More research into the qualities and components of pili nutshells is needed to establish the treatment required before they may be utilized as fuel. Increased pressure has an effect on torrefaction metrics such as mass yields, energy densification ratio, energy yield, process energy consumption, the proximate analysis, high heating value.

Robust multivariable control of wind turbines based on wind measurements provided by LiDAR sensors
Authors:   , Miquélez Madariaga Irene
Published: October 2023

Wind energy, along with photovoltaic solar energy, is the only realistic option for the decarbonisation of the electric sector. Its competitiveness in the market is measured through the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE), which is determined by the expected energy production and the manufacturing and operation costs of wind turbines. Although there are numerous technical advances that optimize the performance of wind turbines, few are as advantageous as the development of advanced control strategies. Well-designed control algorithms simultaneously increase energy production and reduce damage to machine components, while maintaining a tightly controlled development and implementation cost. In recent years, new sensors and actuators have emerged, allowing for the inclusion of new strategies within the control loops of wind turbines. Specifically, lidar sensors provide a remote measurement of the approaching turbulent wind field near a wind turbine. This information can be used to generate a feedforward control action to achieve improved turbine performance. This thesis focuses on the design of linear feedforward controllers that utilize the wind measurement provided by a lidar sensor to reduce the loads on certain structural components of the wind turbine. The main work lines of the thesis are: development of a simple feedforward controller design methodology aimed at load reduction at the base of the tower. Development of a simple feedforward controller design methodology aimed at load reduction at the base of the tower. Development of an uncertain model of the sensor that captures measurement uncertainty and enables the design of robust controllers. Development of robust feedforward controller design methodologies that allow for the simultaneous design of pitch and torque controllers, meeting specifications for multiple objectives simultaneously.

Authors: Geiger Shelby , Bettendorf Abigail , Huang Ruoxian , Monaco Francesca
Published: October 2023

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a psychological disorder characterized by obsessive thoughts followed by repeated behaviors in response to these thoughts. OCD can be highly influential on all aspects of one’s life, including academic performance. This review highlights the current understanding of specific factors of OCD that impact academic performance. Demographic factors of ethnicity and age should be collected and examined in future research. OCD severity levels and symptom groups should also be analyzed independently. Comorbid disorders with OCD should be considered when developing treatment plans. In addition, changes in OCD symptoms in response to the onset of COVID-19 should be considered. With a better understanding of OCD’s impact on academic performance, treatment plans sensitive to academically influential elements of OCD can be developed to optimally support students.

COFFEE PRODUCTION AND ITS CONTRIBUTION TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN MALAYSIA
Authors: Ahmad Hanis Hazwani , Ang Wei Chern , Saleh Siti Khadijah
Published: October 2023

Coffee planters face competition with other cash crops and higher production costs. Besides that, the biggest issue in this sector is the labour required to select ripe coffee beans since not all beans in a single stalk of coffee mature simultaneously. Nonetheless, this well-known beverage is facing a sustainability dilemma. This paper uses previous studies on coffee production and sustainability in Malaysia. A continuous drop in global coffee prices has squeezed coffee growers and pushed many of them below the worldwide severe poverty level. This document discusses research on sustainability in the coffee industry, including past study findings, and makes various recommendations. These obstacles must be solved to achieve sustainable coffee production. All types of literature (including grey literature) were searched exploratively by including those published in the past ten years from 2011 to January 2022 and in the English language. The adoption of sustainable production practices is vital for ecosystem and biodiversity protection, as well as assuring long-term supply availability of coffee production in Malaysia. Implementing sustainability in the coffee certificate in Malaysia's coffee production system appears to be the most appropriate approach to addressing these challenges because it can synergise increasing productivity and farmers' income, implementing climate change adaptation and mitigation, and increasing farmer capability and credit access. The originality of this study is its reviews of how to sustain the coffee production in the Malaysian agriculture sector.

Published: October 2023

This study intends to fill a vacuum in prior research by investigating the effect of pricing, service quality, customer trust, and safety on consumer satisfaction in online transportation. The data was obtained using a Google form and the hypotheses were tested using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26. According to the findings, price has a big impact on customer satisfaction when it comes to online transportation. This study's findings differ with the previous study's findings, which revealed that pricing has an insignificant effect on consumer satisfaction. The findings also demonstrate that the quality of service has a major impact on consumer satisfaction in online transportation. The findings also reveal that safety has a big impact on customer satisfaction when it comes to online transportation. The limitation of this study is that it only has four independent variables, which are pricing, service quality, customer trust, and safety, and the respondents are limited to 200. Future research can include more factors that influence consumer satisfaction with online transportation, and the number of respondents can be increased, allowing future researchers to obtain different conclusions from this study.

Published: October 2023

Political factor is one of the main factors that influence investors’ decision-making. Considering that, this study presents a systematic review of the research work, published on the topic of election effects and stock market behaviour. Through Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA), this study critically assessed and examined sixteen research studies, published between 1995 and 2021, in different regions across the globe. Based on the outcomes, most of these past studies highlighted that the election effects rely entirely on the political climate. If the election outcome benefits the economy, stock markets react positively. Moreover, stock market volatility was noted to be significantly impacted by elections. Higher volatility induced by election whenever there is unforeseen outcome and volatility adjusted back to normal when uncertainty resolve. The findings of this review are expected to reveal the knowledge of theoretical and literature significance on stock market behaviour around elections to researches and investor community. Finally, this paper reveals some significant research gap to advance the research agenda for future research.

Authors: Souza Alex Cristiano de
Published: October 2023

As abordagens sobre Geografia, Ensino de Geografia e Literatura são crescentes nos últimos tempos, em especial, nos últimos 15 anos, na produção acadêmica brasileira. Buscando somar esforços neste campo, apresentamos uma possibilidade de relação entre o Ensino de Geografia e a Literatura. Aqui, partimos de uma análise sobre a globalização estabelecendo um diálogo entre as formas de expressão do conhecimento relacionadas ao acadêmico-científico, por um lado e, por outro, a literária, nos apropriando do que João Zanetic denomina de autores de literatura com veia científica e cientistas com um sabor literário, promovendo um encontro entre Eduardo Galeano e geógrafos que pensaram a globalização. Neste momento apresentamos uma possibilidade de articulação da Literatura no Ensino de Geografia, que parte do geral, de concepções mais genéricas sobre o processo de globalização, daqueles fenômenos universalizantes, que devem ser problematizados na educação escolar a partir da prática social.

No portal do inferno, lá estava estampada a frase: “Deixai toda esperança vós que entrais”. Em estado de sonho, lá estaria Dante, prestes a percorrer um longo e árduo caminho onde a esperança se confirmaria em sinônimo de ausência. Este trabalho nos convida a percorrer um caminho pautado numa prática pedagógica onde a arte e a criatividade, em signos e símbolos, se materializaram na construção de uma Instalação Geográfica, esta enquanto metodologia de ensino e que foi realizada com os alunos de Estágio Supervisionado III do VIII semestre do curso de Licenciatura Plena em Geografia da Universidade Regional do Cariri (URCA). O texto que se segue, se desenvolveu em rota de construção, ou fazendo uma analogia com o inferno dantesco, que o leitor embriagado de imaginação possa sair do limbo aos círculos (pecados) mais assustadores e marcantes nos sonhos dos alunos, que foi, portanto, o objeto central a ser trabalhado e representado em signos e símbolos. Essa prática passeou pelos devaneios de Walking Life, O homem e seus símbolos (Jung) e O inferno (Dante). Que o leitor percorra essa prática embriagado com imaginação e criatividade.

The decline in the chance of finding commercial quantity of hydrocarbon necessitated the integration of more geophysical tools in order to properly assess the reservoir quality. This study integrated rock physics and seismic attribute to assess the reservoir quality in ‘Solid’ field, offshore Niger Delta. The objectives of this study are to use rock physics analysis to quality check the seismic attribute results and to locate the best productive zones in the field. 3D seismic data and well log data for six wells were used for Formation evaluation, Petrophysical analysis, Structural analysis, Seismic attribute extraction. These results were then checked qualitatively using rock physics analysis. Six sand units (Sand 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) were correlated across six wells. Petrophysical analysis indicated that the reservoirs have high porosity (20.9% to 25.4%), high permeability (1897 to 2557 mD), high net-to-gross sand (84.7% to 99.0%), and low volume of shale (0.13 to 0.48). This shows that the reservoirs are of good quality. The depth structure map indicates that the reservoirs are mainly fault assisted closures. The seismic attribute extraction for the sand reservoirs shows high amplitude for Sand 1 in areas where wells have been drilled and also in some closures in Sand 2, 3 and 4 which is indicative of hydrocarbon presence. The crossplot of acoustic impedance against shear impedance of Well S5 helped to differentiate sand and shale in the reservoirs. Crossplot of acoustic impedance against Vp/Vs ratio was then used to predict the fluid type in Well S5. The crossplot of acoustic impedance against Vp/Vs ratio of Sand 2 in Well S5 and Sand 1 in Well S4 follows a regular trend with depth. The overall results portrayed that Sand 1, 2, 3 and 4 are of good quality and are oil bearing.

Authors: Grangeiro Katlley Ferreira , Sobreira Pâmela Thayne Macêdo , Oliveira Geane Silva , Souza Anne Caroline de , Bezerra Yuri Charllub Pereira
Published: October 2023

INTRODUÇÃO: A enfermagem é uma área que trabalha com intuito de fornecer promoção e prevenção de saúde a pacientes em recuperação. Seu campo de atuação está cada vez mais amplo e diversificado. E a enfermagem forense é uma área recente e importante a ser consolidada, ela já foi reconhecida pelo Conselho Federal de Enfermagem (COFEN) como especialidade. O profissional com essa especialização é essencial em diversas áreas, como exemplo o atendimento a vítimas de violência sexual. Com suas competências técnicas, respaldo legal e olhar humanizado, o enfermeiro forense se torna peça fundamental no acolhimento dessas vítimas. OBJETIVO: Explorar a atuação do enfermeiro forense mediante a casos de violência sexual contra mulheres. METODOLOGIA: Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura, na qual foi fomentada através da BVS, por meios dos DeSC: “Enfermagem forense, violência contra mulher, violência sexual, utilizando os critérios de inclusão: todos os artigos em português, inglês e espanhol, texto completo, publicados nos últimos cincos anos, Sendo excluídos estudos com amostras não relacionada a atuação da enfermagem forense, estudos em outros idiomas que não, inglês, português e espanhol, , além de, estudos com foco em outros temas que não estivessem relacionados a temática. Após a busca, recuperou-se 231 documentos, nos quais, mediante aos critérios de exclusão, ficaram 106 para leitura do título e seleção. Em seguida, restaram 108 para leitura completa e assim, foram escolhidos cuidadosamente 8 artigos para a construção desse trabalho. RESULTADOS E DISCUSSÕES: A atuação do enfermeiro forense se destaca notavelmente em comparação com outros profissionais da área de justiça, devido ao seu papel crucial na realização de exames detalhados e coleta de evidências sem contaminação. Esses elementos são de extrema importância para o sucesso das investigações. Em casos sujeitos a questionamentos sobre suas práticas, os enfermeiros forenses devem estar munidos de provas, vestígios e evidências que fundamentem suas ações. CONCLUSÃO: Em suma, foi observado que, embora seja uma necessidade natural nos serviços de emergência, a enfermagem forense ainda carece de ampla divulgação em nível nacional. Frequentemente, os enfermeiros são os primeiros a prestar atendimento às vítimas de violência, mas muitas vezes não se sentem adequadamente preparados para lidar com casos de violência sexual.

Predictability of Marine Heatwaves: assessment based on the ECMWF seasonal forecast system
Authors: de Boisseson Eric , Balmaseda Magdalena
Published: October 2023

Abstract. Marine Heatwaves (MHWs), defined as prolonged period of extremely warm Sea Surface Temperature (SST), have been receiving a lot of attention in the past decade as their frequency and intensity increase in a warming climate. This paper investigates the extent to which the seasonal occurrence and duration of MHWs can be predicted with the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecast (ECMWF) operational seasonal forecast system. The prediction of the occurrence of MHW events, the number of MHW days per season, their intensity and spatial extent is derived from SST seasonal forecasts and evaluated against an observation-based SST analysis using both deterministic and probabilistic metrics over the 1982–2021 period. Forecast scores show useful skill in predicting the occurrence of MHWs globally for the two seasons following the starting date. The skill is the highest in the El-Niño region, the Caribbean, the wider Tropics, the Northeast Extra-tropical Pacific and Southwest of the Extra-tropical basins. The skill is not as good for other midlatitudes eastern basins, nor for the Mediterranean, the forecast system being able to represent the low frequency modulation of MHWs but showing poor skill in predicting the interannual variability of the MHW characteristics. Linear trend analysis shows an increase of MHW occurrence at a global scale, which the forecasts capture well.
Addressing Religious Intolerance in Multi-Faith Societies
Authors: Al-Kubise Ahmed A. , Haq Zia ul
Published: October 2023

Religious intolerance is a growing concern in today’s multi-faith communities. However, the key to solving this problem lies in religious texts. This study looks into the Islamic perspective on sustainable peace, using a hermeneutic analysis of the Qur’ānic texts to examine the relationship between religious tolerance and peace. A qualitative methodology is employed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the current state of religious intolerance. The study decodes the Qur’ānic verses as a means to achieving long-term societal harmony. It has been discovered that one of the causes of religious intolerance in Muslim cultures is a lack of understanding and appreciation of the Qur’ān among Muslims. The study provides fresh insights into the role that religious texts can play in fostering a culture of tolerance and understanding. The findings of this study can be utilized to promote religious tolerance in multicultural societies through the implementation of inter-faith dialogue programmes and educational initiatives.
Turkey’s Transition into Modernity and the Response of the ‘Ulamā’
Authors: Benlahcene Badrane
Published: October 2023

Turkey’s transition into modernity is one of the earliest models of modernization in the Muslim world. A complex and controversial process involved significant changes to the country’s political, social, and cultural institutions. Accordingly, Muslim intellectuals responded to the challenges posed by this transition process that endangered the country’s Islamic identity. This paper analyses the historical overview of Turkey’s modernization process, highlighting the key events, institutions, and actors that played a role in shaping the country’s development on one hand. On the other hand, it explores the response of the ‘ulamā’ to the modernization process, with a special emphasis on the contributions of Bediuzzaman Said Nursi. It analysed his activist and intellectual struggle to meet the challenges of the modernization process, his criticisms of the secularist approach to modernization, and his efforts to develop an Islamic political theory that provided answers to the new situation.
The The Designed Limitation of Human Epistemology and the Necessity of Faith
Authors: Bin Sajjad Husnain
Published: October 2023

This article argues that the attacks of atheists or philosophers against the Islamic conception of God (i.e., Allah) are constructed on the misunderstood notion of Islamic theology. Because God is already at a station where the standards of reason alone are frivolous if His existence is understood vis-à-vis the claimed teleological essence of His message (Islam). The fundamental approach here is to highlight the doctrinally necessary transcendence of God vis-à-vis human epistemological tools in Islam in the light of its objective (i.e., a test of faith). This article demonstrates the normatively affirmed limitations of reason in logically necessitating the being of Allah under the faith-test dynamic of Islam, which is a necessary component of the purpose of human existence according to the Qur’ān. The article aims to establish the necessity of faith vis-à-vis a designed limitation of the capabilities of the logical arguments for God’s existence through three major claims: faith in the unseen, Allah’s signs in creation, and the trial of faith, all three being rooted in the Qur’ān. The article also explains the nature of imān in the system of Islamic epistemology, referring to the works of Abū Ḥāmid al-Ghazālī and Ibn Taymiyyah and highlighting the incoherent, unreasonable scepticism of atheists in attacking Islamic theism through the principles of reason.

Published: October 2023

The increasing demand for mineral substances and the need to maintain the current consumption pattern require constant research for new deposits or studies to expand exploration reserves. A geophysical technique was employed in the delineation of this mineral deposit. The results obtained in each VES have three geo-electric layers, which comprise clay/clayey-sand (81.8 – 155.7 Ωm), Sand (101.8 – 380.4 Ωm) and marble (1019 – 4419 Ωm) horizon units. The geologic section was deduced from borehole log data acquired within the study area. All the surveyed locations show traces of the existence of marble deposits in the area. The study revealed occurrences of marble deposits in the study area, which will be of economic importance if exploited. The reserve tonnage was calculated to be about 1.69 x 10⁶ tons. This estimate signifies that there is a fair reserve of marble within the study portion of the location.
