Authors: Artioli Giovanna , Foà Chiara , Manfrini Gisele Cristina , Camacho Victoria Cervantes , Taffurelli Chiara
Published: August 2024

_Background and aim. _Several studies in the literature state that cancer patients show unmet needs despite standard care. The aim of the study was to understand the perceptions of Nurse Case Care Managers (NCCM), working in oncological settings, regarding the patients’ and relatives’ met or unmet needs.

_Methods _The study used a qualitative approach through a semi-structured interview. Researchers recruited twenty NCCM working in the oncology area and performing their functions in four Local Health Authorities in Northern and Central Italy. NCCM were selected based on a convenience criterion. The study took place from April 2021 to February 2022.

_Results:_ It emerged that numerous needs were not always met and that dysfunctionally affected the quality of life of cancer patients. These included information, emotional, psychological, and social needs. Feelings of fear, distress, anxiety, and depression often accompanied them. These were complex needs which were difficult to address. Case Care Managers have shown themselves to be able to recognise the needs. These findings underscored the urgent need to recognise and address the complex needs of cancer patients and their relatives. This study served as a call to action, urging the healthcare community to strive for comprehensive solutions to these pressing issues.

_Conclusion:_ The perceptions of Nurse Case Care Managers show that several needs are still unmet in cancer patients and their relatives. NCCMs believe that their role helps understand patients' unmet needs as well.
The Study of Consciousness Is Mired in Complexities and Difficulties: Can They Be Resolved?
Authors: Nash Jonathan
Published: August 2024

This paper explores several etymological, semantic, sociolinguistic, and methodological issues that have, in my opinion, impeded the progress of consciousness research and discourse; and I offer some suggestions that are hopefully worthy of consideration.

I review the historical and extant conflation of terms in the literature, a litany of published definitions and types of consciousness, and call for greater “semantic lucidity”. I critique the rationale underpinning the search for the neural correlates of consciousness, advocate for greater adherence to the requirements of an operational definition in research, and discuss the paradigm of consciousness as a ‘process’ versus the premise of consciousness as a tangible ‘thing’ that can somehow be found in a particular locus within the material substrate of the nervous system.
Understanding Bonded Labor: A Traditional System of Slavery in India
Authors: Das Nirmal Joseph , Krishnan S. Rama Gokula
Published: August 2024

Bonded labor is a traditional system of slavery that continues to plague numerous countries, including India. It is often referred to as a traditional form of slavery as it has deep roots in the caste system that has historically denied equal rights and status to members who do not hail from the upper castes. The pain inflicted upon individuals and families through the bonded labor system is much worse than the caste system itself. This system is a form of debt servitude in which individuals and their families are duped into a life of forced labor characterized by degrading treatment, physical violence, and mental suffering at the hands of the perpetrators. The objective of this article is to offer a thorough examination of the characteristics of this crime, its history, its frequency, the underlying factors contributing to its existence, the financial and psychological repercussions experienced by the victims, and the initiatives that have been implemented thus far in an effort to combat this issue. The present article on bonded labor highlights a major barrier to the 16th Sustainable Development Goal, which is about promoting just, peaceful, and inclusive societies. One of the key reasons why bonded labor continues to exist is the lack of sufficient international attention to it. The authors hope to help change that through the dissemination of key information about the bonded labor system that can be used to weaken and break this inhuman system and restore the health and wellbeing of the survivors.

Порівняння параметрів потоку перед силовою турбіною при фронтальному та нормальному підведенні повітря, що перепускається з компресора
Authors: Kislov Oleg , Shliakhova Mariia
Published: August 2024

The subject of this article is the impact of air delivery method bypassed from the compressor to the power turbine of a turboshaft gas turbine engine (GTE). The relevance of this GTE scheme is due to efforts to improve the efficiency of converting heat into work and to address the issue of ensuring stable compressor operation in throttling modes with a high compression ratio. A high compression ratio is necessary because increasing the cycle parameters, such as the heating degree and the pressure ratio of the working fluid, is essential for improving the overall efficiency of the GTE. One effective method to enhance the compressor stability is to bypass air from the compressor to the atmosphere, but this approach worsens the specific parameters of the GTE. In advanced GTE designs, various methods are considered to use bypassed air to avoid the loss of useful work. One such scheme is a turboshaft GTE with an air bypass to the power turbine. This design offers higher efficiency than bypassing air into the atmosphere while maintaining compressor stability. The GTE has an additional channel for delivering air from the compressor to the power turbine and a mixing chamber for the flows before the power turbine. The mixing chamber can receive either frontal or normal air delivery from the compressor. In the case of normal air delivery, the length of the mixing chamber is reduced, but this increases the total pressure losses and the resulting flow velocity before the power turbine. The aim of this work was to develop a mathematical model of a mixing chamber with normal flow delivery and to compare its characteristics with those of a mixing chamber with frontal flow delivery using an established mathematical model. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were accomplished: assuming no friction on the channel walls, an exact solution to the system of equations describing the mixing process was obtained. The mathematical relationships are presented in dimensionless form. The characteristics of mixing chambers with frontal and normal air delivery were obtained as dependencies of the resulting flow velocity and relative total pressure at the chamber outlet on the resulting flow velocity of the main stream and mass flow ratio of the streams, given the specified full temperature ratio of the streams at the mixing chamber inlet. A comparison was made between the flow parameters at the outlet of the mixing chambers with frontal and normal air delivery, under identical inlet conditions. The conclusions show that with normal flow delivery, the total pressure losses and the resulting velocity at the mixing chamber outlet are higher than with frontal flow delivery. However, the slight degradation in the flow parameters with normal flow delivery keeps such a mixing chamber competitive due to its shorter length.

Early literacy for early childhood continues to invite pros and cons. This is what makes parents and educators a dilemma in this study. The purpose of this study is to provide an overview from the point of view of parents and educators on the problem of early childhood literacy. This study invited 6 parents, 6 educators and 1 psychologist to share their point of view through interviews followed by observation for 6 months. Parents are afraid of their children's reading-writing-counting abilities, that is what drives them to include their children in conventional early literacy learning, while educators mix the concepts of playing and conventional as a result of parental demands. Early literacy is not wrongly given to early childhood, what is wrong is the way it is delivered, conveying it with a fun concept, playing while learning. Because basically, children have the right to enjoy their childhood without having to be snatched away by the anxiety of their parents who are their trusted people.

The burning of fossil fuels poses many threats to the environment. These predicaments have led to a continuous search for alternative sources and production of energy, and biomass is considered the most abundant renewable energy source. In this study, the potential to produce furanic bio-oil from the cellulose of Bambusa vulgaris was explored. The proximate chemical analysis of bamboo was determined using TAPPI Standards. Cellulose was isolated through dewaxing, delignification, and alkaline treatments. The furanic bio-oil was produced by mixing cellulose and citric acid in a solvent-free environment. The effects of the digestion time (120 min, 180 min, and 240 min) on the yield and characteristics were determined. The chemical compositions were determined using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS). B. vulgaris has the following chemical composition: alpha-cellulose (57.42 ± 0.40), holocellulose (78.84 ± 0.52), lig-nin (28.85 ± 0.17), hot water extractives (3.99 ± 0.08), organic extractives (0.77 ± 0.04), ash (4.67 ± 0.02), and moisture (12.98 ± 0.22). The bio-oil yield was affected by the digestion time. The highest yield was obtained at 180 min, followed by 120 min, and 240 min with 88.59%, 59.28%, and 49.96%, respectively. The peaks in the FTIR spectra corresponded to the compounds determined by the GCMS analysis. The dominant chemicals were furans (29.19%), ketones (26.31%), and carboxylic acids (19.26%). The bio-oil obtained at 180-min digestion time has the following properties: sulfur content (0.032 wt%), kinematic viscosity (1.03 mm2/s), specific gravity (0.925), copper corrosion test (No. 1a), pH (2.753), and water content (not detected). Overall, the obtained values from the properties and chemical characterization can be the basis for investigating its performance for biofuel production and utilization. This study is aligned with the Bamboo Industry’s Strategic Science and Technology Plan for the Philippines to develop other value-added products from bamboo and to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG 7) as determined by the United Nations.
Compression refining: the future of refining? Application to Nordic bleached softwood kraft pulp
Authors: CARRE B. , DELAGOUTTE T.
Published: August 2024

A new compression refining technology based on the kneading of high consistency pulp has been selected and tested in various conditions with a model Nordic bleached softwood kraft (NBSK) pulp. The method uses a kneader mixer referred to as the ultra continuous mixer (UCM) to condition the pulp. Its performance levels were also compared with those obtained with traditional low consistency (LC) refining of the same pulp.Compression refining of the NBSK pulp with the UCM led to a much better °SR/strength compromise than conventional LC refining. High strength properties can also be achieved by compression refining, in a range similar to/or better than LC refining. The higher the strength required, the greater the advantages of this technology: for a given strength, a difference of up to 10°SR can be obtained as compared to LC refined pulp. Moreover, a higher tear index can be obtained with compression refining, since fiber cutting is greatly reduced.The lower °SR is due to the release of fewer cellulosic fines, which also results in the manufacturing of new papers combining a high strength and a high permeability that cannot be obtained with traditional LC refining. Indeed, with LC refining, a high strength is generally associated with a low permeability. Upscaling this technology seems to be possible since large production devices are already on the market for applications other than paper/pulp. With this new pulp behavior, papermakers will have to learn to think differently, as paper strength and °SR can now be decorrelated.

Female Identity and Gender Dynamics in Doris Lessing’s The Golden Notebook: An Analysis of the Female Characters
Authors: Chowdhury Adiba Zahin  , Md. Faisal Haque
Published: August 2024

The exploration of female identity and gender dynamics, which provides a critical analysis of women's roles based on societal expectations in a mid-20th-century society, lies at the heart of Doris Lessing's The Golden Notebook. Lessing explores the sociological forces that mold female identity via Anna and other female character’s experiences, touching on issues of fragmented self, motherhood, female autonomy, and sexual freedom. The text, in addition to reflecting Anna's internal conflict, highlights the conflicts that exist between an individual's desires and societal norms, criticizing the traditional gender roles that are imposed on women and the unique true identity that each female character possesses. Various articles, texts, and journals were used for secondary data besides The Golden Notebook text, which was the primary source for data findings. This paper aims to identify the underlying factors that play a role in the construction of the identity of the female characters and how gender dynamics contribute to the marginalization of women and sexual oppression in society.

Published: August 2024

The circular economy seeks to maximize resource utility while enhancing waste materials’ added value. Herbal beverages are derived from biopharmaceutical plants, commonly using ginger, cardamom, turmeric, aromatic ginger or lesser galangal, and curcuma. This study had two primary objectives: (1) to analyze the physicochemical characteristics of instant ginger, instant turmeric, and instant ginger beverages, and (2) to enhance the economic value of production waste by converting it into liquid organic fertilizer (POC). The research was conducted at the small and medium enterprise “AIG Bunda Nisa” in Semarang Regency, Indonesia. Physicochemical characteristics were assessed through proximate analysis, and the quality of the POC was evaluated based on the standards set by the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture (No.216/KPTS/SR.310/M/4/2019). The findings revealed that waste from the production of instant herbal drinks can be effectively repurposed as POC. The analysis showed that instant ginger beverages have higher ash and carbohydrate content than fresh ginger but lower total fat and protein content. Additionally, instant ginger beverages’ caloric value and carbohydrate content are higher than fresh ginger. Conversely, instant ginger’s protein content is lower than fresh ginger’s. In the case of turmeric, the ash, total fat, moisture, and protein content in fresh turmeric were lower than in instant turmeric beverages.
