Published: July 2024

In this study, agricultural waste (date seeds) were used to produce activated carbon in an oxygenated environment. The produced activated carbon was characterised. The HRSEM showed mesoporous structural morphology, which exhibited a surface area of 54.53 m2/g, pore size of 10.34 nm and pore volume of 0.1256 cc/g. The EDX spectrum revealed the presence of C and O as the major elemental compositions in the activated carbon. The FTIR spectrum indicated the presence of OH-, C=C, C=O and C-H at absorption bands of 3400, 2900, 1650, and 1300 cm-1, respectively.  The diffractogram of the activated carbon revealed graphitic carbon 2 peaks of 22o and 43o which are related to (002) and (100) plane, respectively. The conversion of agricultural waste to activated carbon possessing these unique properties could serve as a promising and low-cost adsorbent for the removal of toxic pollutants from industrial wastewater.

Meso-scale Study of Bond Behavior between Ribbed Steel Rebar and Fiber-reinforced Cementitious Composite Considering Rebar Rib Geometry
Authors: Akbarifar Reza , Mortezaei Alireza , Babaei Ali
Published: July 2024

This study aims to develop a meso-scale finite element approach to investigate the pull-out behavior of ribbed steel rebar and fiber-reinforced cement composites. We considered separately the three phases of steel fibers, cement composite matrix, and rebar within the meso-scale finite element model. A random distribution of fibers was generated in the matrix based on the geometric characteristics of the fibers and their volume fraction. By employing the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) model, the interaction between rebar and fibers with cement composite was simulated. Experimental pull-out tests were conducted to determine the parameters of the model. A meso-scale finite element model was validated and the effect of rebar diameter and fiber volume fraction on the bond behavior of rebar with fiber-reinforced cement composites was examined. In accordance with the experimental results, the bond-slip curve obtained with the meso-scale finite element model can be divided into five areas: non-slip, slight slip, splitting, decreasing, and residual. Additionally, it can be observed that fiber-free cement composites fail by splitting, whereas specimens containing fibers fail by sliding. This numerical model is therefore able to predict and estimate the influence of a variety of parameters on the pull-out response between fiber-reinforced cement composite and ribbed bar and failure mechanisms without the need for expensive and time-consuming testing.

Authors: Chavykin Yu. I.
Published: July 2024

The author discusses the results of scientometric assessment of Russian agricultural and forestry academic journals included into the RSCI database, HAC List and RCSI as of 2022. The essential bibliometrical data were obtained from the RSCI database. The serials selected for the analysis fall under the 68.00.00 index of the State Rubricator of Sci-tech Information (SRSTI).

The author substantiates the validity of bibliometrical indicator of publication importance, namely the 5-year impact factor without self citation. He investigates into the journal information capabilities from the perspective of published articles and open access to RSCI database. The level-structured values accepted for ranging the impact factor (from minimum to maximum) included in RSCI, HAC, and RCSI, are provided; the average values make, correspondingly, 0.381, 0.470, and 0.623. The most significant scientific journals are revealed by their impact factor and SI, and by the number of published articles and accessibility via RSCI. The author emphasizes the drawbacks of HAC and RCSI resources, among them inclusion of low-cited and low SI journals. He also favors the proposal to develop the integrated method for journal ranging and, on this foundation, to build the national database of scientific periodicals.

A Study on the Humanization Process and Philosophical Implications of Yuan Heng Li Zhen in the Zhouyi
Authors: Kim Ah-rang
Published: July 2024

This paper approaches the representative hexagram of the 『Zhouyi』, 'Yuan Heng Li Zhen', from a humanistic perspective through the process of demystification. By examining the humanization process of 'Yuan Heng Li Zhen', the study explores the philosophical implications that the humanistic thinking of the 『Zhouyi』 's 'Yuan Heng Li Zhen' holds for modern society. Before delving into the humanization process of 'Yuan Heng Li Zhen', the paper defines the generally broad term 'humanities'. This includes examining the perception of the humanities as opposed to mysticism and the elements of the humanities present in the 『Zhouyi』 to establish the framework of humanistic thought that the paper aims to elucidate. 'Yuan Heng Li Zhen' can be understood as a hexagram and as a concept that humans living according to the laws of heaven and earth use as a clue to live by. The paper investigates the implications of 'Yuan Heng Li Zhen' in both the 『Yijing』 and the 『Yi Zhuan』, identifying the process by which 'Yuan Heng Li Zhen' as a hexagram evolved into a concept of human virtue. Through this examination, it becomes clear that the transformation of 'Yuan Heng Li Zhen' into the Four Virtues was not coincidental but rather a result of philosophical contemplation on divination by humans. The resolution of the questions continuously posed towards heaven ultimately led to the conclusion that the answer lies within the human self. Based on this, the paper tentatively discusses the philosophical implications of the humanistic spirit of 'Yuan Heng Li Zhen' in the 『Zhouyi』 for the modern era characterized by data.

Published: July 2024

Background: Diastolic dysfunction causes impairment of ventricular filling when the ventricle becomes stiff, relaxes slowly or incompletely. Diabetes mellitus increases the risk of diastolic dysfunction which can develop heart failure even in the absence of other co-morbidities. Tei index is an echocardiographic tool to evaluate global function of ventricle. Objective: To determine the prevalence of Left Ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus; and its association with LV myocardial performance index (Tei Index). Method: 100 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with normal left ventricular ejection fraction without overt cardiac disease were included. LVDD was determined as per using 2016 American Society of Echocardiology (ASE) guideline. LV Tei index was calculated by tissue doppler imaging method. Results: Mean age of the patients was 58.1 ± 12.6 years with 54 percent male. Mean HbA1C was 7.45± 0.99. 23 (23%) patients met the criteria of LVDD and 46 (46%) patients did not have LVDD. Whereas 31 (31%) of patients were categorized as indeterminate. Tei index was significantly higher in patients with LVDD (0.56±0.05 and 0.43±0.06 (p <0.05). Conclusion: Prevalence of LV diastolic dysfunction in type 2 diabetes mellitus was 23% in our study. There was a significant association between LVDD and Tei index. Rising trend of prevalence of diastolic dysfunction with increasing age of patients was observed.

Published: July 2024

Background: Diabetes, a progressive disease necessitating multifaceted pharmacological interventions for glycemic control, commonly employs Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i) and Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i). The ongoing challenge lies in determining the superior option for safety and efficacy. Objective: This study aims to describe the treatment outcomes of DPP-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i) and Sodium- Glucose Co-Transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) in individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM) receiving metformin with poor glycemic control. Methods: This prospective study was conducted at the Endocrinology Outpatient Department of Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, and included 90 individuals with diabetes mellitus who met the selection criteria. Divided into two groups, Group I (n=45) received DPP-4 inhibitors plus metformin, and Group II (n=45) received SGLT2 inhibitors plus metformin. Baseline data, including HbA1c, fasting blood glucose (FBG), blood glucose 2 hours after breakfast, weight, lipid profile, and serum creatinine, were recorded at the first visit and 12 weeks. Safety was assessed based on adverse drug effects. Results: After 12 weeks, both groups exhibited significant reductions in HbA1c, FBG, and postprandial blood glucose levels. However, the SGLT-2i group demonstrated significant improvements in HbA1c (P<0.012), fasting plasma glucose (P<0.003), and postprandial glucose levels (P<0.001), along with a reduction in body weight (P<0.042). Hypoglycemia rates were low and balanced between groups. Notably, SGLT-2i usage correlated with an increased incidence of urinary tract infections (13.33% vs. 6.66% in DPP-4i) and exclusive genital infections (11.11%, P<0.022). Conclusion: Diabetic patients receiving SGLT-2 inhibitors had better glycemic control and body weight improvements in comparison to DPP-4 inhibitors. However, SGLT-2 inhibitors encountered more genital infections than DPP-4 inhibitors.

Background: Type 2 diabetes is a common metabolic disorder causing high blood sugar due to insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency. It poses a significant global health burden, especially in low and middle-income countries. This study explores how well-controlled blood sugar (HbA1c) affects the types and patterns of complications in hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: Conducted over six months at a tertiary care hospital, this cross-sectional study included 200 men and women with T2DM. Data were collected through evaluations and documented. Macrovascular complications were identified using specific criteria: elevated cardiac troponin I for myocardial infarction, neurological deficits with imaging for stroke, and foot ulcers or amputation history for peripheral vascular disease. Results: Macrovascular complications were found in 33% of patients, with myocardial infarction being the most common (48.5%), followed by stroke (37.9%) and peripheral vascular disease (13.6%). Patients with complications had significantly higher HbA1c and blood glucose levels. Conclusion: A significant proportion of hospitalized T2DM patients have macrovascular complications, associated with higher HbA1c levels. These findings emphasize the importance of good glycemic control to prevent such complications.

Authors: Suleyman Suleyman
Published: July 2024

Tomato is an important crop in Ternate, North Maluku Province, Indonesia. This study aimed to determine the irrigation water requirements for tomato cultivation on Regosol soil in the North Ternate region using the CROPWAT 8.0 model. Climate data, crop data, and soil data were collected and processed using the CROPWAT 8.0 program. The results showed that the irrigation water requirements varied significantly between the rainy and dry seasons. During the rainy season, the total irrigation water requirement ranged from 60 to 107 mm, while in the dry season, it was much higher, ranging from 130 to 187 mm. This difference was primarily due to the low rainfall during the dry season. Simulations of planting at different periods showed relatively minor variations in crop water requirements, reflecting the stable weather conditions throughout the year in Ternate. The findings of this study can assist local tomato farmers in managing irrigation water more efficiently and effectively, thereby improving crop productivity and reducing the risk of water shortage.

Authors: Khodchenkov Nikita
Published: July 2024

In the protection of human rights, compensation for harm caused by a crime is important. This constitutional obligation of the State is to a certain extent ensured by the current legislation, including criminal and operational investigative legislation. However, the practice of executing claims while serving sentences by convicts indicates a low level of compensation for harm. The analysis of the penal enforcement legislation makes it possible to establish unused reserves. The purpose of the study was to consider the process of ensuring compensation for harm caused as a result of the commission of crimes as a task of carrying out operational investigative activities in the execution of sentences in the form of imprisonment. The author suggests specific measures to improve criminal legislation and legislation regulating operational investigative activities in correctional institutions.

To support these ideals, city branding strategies, particularly in visual identity and typography, play a crucial role in shaping the city's visual appeal. Typography serves as a significant element in strengthening city branding by conveying messages and meaning simultaneously. One of the current city branding efforts, embodied in the slogan "Beautiful Malang," does not accurately represent Malang City as a creative city both visually and meaningfully. This realization serves as the foundation for designing a custom typeface in digital format (font), aiming to be a supporting medium for Malang City's branding. To achieve this objective, a study of typography and semiotics was conducted to analyze the visual characteristics present in Jengki typography and architectural forms throughout Malang City. The conclusions drawn from this analysis serve as the fundamental concept in designing a custom typeface that creatively represents Malang City's visual identity. Through the utilization of this custom typeface, there is hope that it will serve as a supporting medium to enhance the identity of Malang City, contributing to the formation of city branding as a creative city.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui problematika representasi tari dalam iklan di Indonesia. Tari dalam iklan Indonesia menjadi problematik karena cenderung dimaknai melalui kajian-kajian terkini sebagai hasil komodifikasi dan pemaksaan simbol-simbol dalam budaya untuk kepentingan komersial. Kondisi ini cukup memprihatinkan bagi kemajuan dunia seni, khusunya tari maupun iklan. Seni sebagai bagian dari budaya seharusnya lebih dapat bermakna sebagaimana mestinya dalam setiap sendi kehidupan, termasuk dalam penciptaan iklan. Metode studi literatur menjadi cara penelitian untuk mengungkap peran seni, dalam hal ini tari dalam iklan secara lebih beragam. Metode literature review dimaksudkan untuk mendapatkan pemahaman tersebut. Tahapan penelitian meliputi 1) merumuskan pertanyaan dan protokol inklusi dan eksklusi data tulisan, 2) menelusuri tulisan yang memenuhi syarat dari database jurnal ilmiah, 3) memilih data tulisan dengan cara mengekstrak data dan mengidentifikasi duplikasi data, 4) menganalisis data berdasarkan kuantitas dan kualitas tulisan sesuai kelompok-kelompok tema, 5) menyajikan data dalam matriks analisis, 6) menafsirkan hasil analisis dan menarik kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian selain menunjukkan problematika representasi tari dalam iklan juga menyimpulkan strategi representasi berdasarkan kesetaraan melalui representasi budaya yang memberi pesan positif.

Rosa Gruss-an-teplitz, belongs to Rosaceae family, commonly known as ‘Desi Rose’, is one of the beautiful red roses of the old garden rose section and produces flowers almost throughout the year. Roses are pruned regularly every year for regulating growth and flowering. This enhances the number, size, and quality of the flowers. Therefore, response of Gruss-an-teplitz to pruning heights at (Control, 01, 1.5, 02, 2.5, 03, 3.5 ft.), was evaluated in an experimental field. Pruning at 2.5 ft. had significant effects on studied parameters, including vegetative and reproductive plant growth, flower yield and gaseous exchange. This experiment was laid out under Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) using three replications per treatment. Pruning at (2.5 ft.) significantly improved growth, in terms of higher leaf area (129.55 cm2), plant height (77.01 cm), number of flowers (658.02), flower weight (4.51 g) and flower diameter (7.86 cm) with respect to other treatments. Chlorophyll a (1.57 mg/g), Chlorophyll b (2.73 mg/g), stomatal conductance (gs) (68.62) and photosynthetic rate (3.06) were also increased by pruning at (2.5 ft.). Pruning application at 2.5 ft. improved biomass, water preservation, pigments, enzymatic activity, leaf gaseous exchange, and flower yield of Gruss-an-teplitz.

Authors: Mitulescu Sorin
Published: July 2024

Volume 13 of 2023 of the journal Social Analysis contains several contributions on sociology in Romania and Hungary at different moments of evolution during the twentieth century. The first four articles deal with aspects of the activity of the Bucharest Sociological School, while four other contributions concern sociology in Hungary. In several articles there are comparisons between the two sociological movements or references to broader developments in Central and Eastern Europe. If about Romanian sociology we receive only information related to the Monographic School, regarding Hungary the articles have a much wider area: from nationalist sociological concerns at the beginning of the twentieth century, to the reorganization of sociology after the Revolution of 1956 and reaching biopolitical approaches with echoes in contemporary Hungary.
