Cavitation Phenomenon and Spray Atomization in Different Types of
Diesel Engine Nozzles: A Systematic Review
Authors: Cao Tianyi , Jin Jianjiao , Qu Yu Pu
Published: July 2024

The high-pressure common rail fuel injection system for diesel engines is one of
the core technologies that need to be addressed in the automobile industry. The
control of the internal flow in multi-hole injector nozzles is the key to
achieve accurate control of the fuel injection and spray process. There are
various types of research on cavitation phenomena currently conducted on various
types of test benches, but there is no conclusive discussion. Therefore, it is
to summarize these studies in order to identify the highlights of existing
studies and point out their shortcomings. This article compares and analyzes the
developing patterns of cavitation phenomena on four test benches through
literature review and has obtained rich research data on these four types of
nozzles, but they still have their own shortcomings at the same time, even with
numerical simulation. Based on this, the article has conducted a detailed and
critical discussion on the current research situation and completed a summary.
Specifically, it mainly involves four geometry parameters, two dynamic factors,
and three fuel physical property parameters. The discussion conducted can
contribute to the future development of cavitation models, further improving the
energy-saving and -reducing emission reduction of diesel engines.

More than floors and domes – contexts around ovens in the late neolithic of the Central Balkans
Authors: Đuričić Ana ,   Autor 1	Ana Đuričić	Laboratory for Bioarcheology, Department of Archaeology, Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade	ana.djuricic@f.bg.ac.rs	Serbia
Published: July 2024

Even though ovens are the most prominent feature in the Vinča culture houses, they have often been neglected in the archaeological publications. Usually, only the information about their location or number of floors is provided, but more detailed descriptions are missing. This is also influenced by their poor preservation in the archaeological record, as parts of their upper structure are often missing. But, although fully preserved ovens represent quite a rarity, contexts surrounding them are usually filled with different categories of artefacts and architectural features. These complex contexts that include ovens, offer plethora of information about different socio-economic phenomena in the Late Neolithic of the Central Balkans. Therefore, ovens should be perceived as more than just fire installations for food processing and house heating, as they can offer insight into household organization and symbolic aspects of the Neolithic life. Additionally, ovens located in the outdoor spaces can provide information about settlement organization and social dynamics on a larger scale. In this paper, different contexts around ovens are presented and interpreted – from functional, economic, social, and symbolic perspective.
Cu privire la fibulele de tip Kostrzewski G din silvostepa carpato-nipreană
Authors: Iarmulschi Vasile ,   Institut für Prähistorische Archäologie der Freien Universität Berlin,   Muzeul Național de Istorie a Moldovei
Published: July 2024

The article discusses various aspects of the Kostrzewski G type ﬁbulae found in the Carpathian-Dnepr foreststeppe. So far, three such brooches have been discovered in this area. Regrettably, in the Southeast European speciality literature, these pieces have not aroused interest despite their value; they are only mentioned in passing. The return to the interpretation of these fibulae, by examining them and documenting the existing analogies, has made it possible to establish their chronological framework and origin. The study of these staples may provide evidence of links between Central Europe and the Carpathian-Dnepr foreststeppe at the end of the first millennium BC.
Gladiatori și spectacole în amfiteatru în cetăţile greceşti de la Pontul Euxin
Authors: Feraru Remus Mihai
Published: July 2024

Abstract tradus Our study proposes to discuss several aspects related to the gladiators attested in the Greek cities of the Pontus Euxinus (Chersones, Histria, Tomis, Callatis, Dionysopolis, Odessos, Byzantion, Sinope, Amisos), such as the names, social status and mentality of these amphitheatre fighters. Our analysis also focuses on the equipment and weapons of the gladiators, their fighting techniques and the various aspects of the organisation of gladiatorial combat. Our research is based on the study of epigraphic and archaeological documents (bas-reliefs). Inscriptions and reliefs attest several types of gladiators, such as retiarius, secutor, scissor, provocator and bestiarius. The names of the gladiators reflect their winning qualities and their physical or moral qualities. Most gladiators were slaves or free men. Documents from Tomis from the 2nd-3rd centuries AD confirm that gladiatorial fights and beast hunts in the amphitheatre are closely linked to the imperial cult. At Tomis, Odessos, Sinope and Amisos, the organisers of these spectacles were at the same time pontarchs and high priests of the imperial cult. Gladiator fights took place in amphitheatres (at Tomis) and other specially designed venues such as theatres (at Odessos). Nemesis and Ares are the patron deities of gladiators.

Authors: Tanwar Nitin
Published: July 2024

"The paper seeks to study the impact of capital structure on the profitability of the top twenty pharmaceutical companies based on market capitalization. Only companies listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) were selected for the analysis purposes. In this study, we collected five years (2018-2022) data for the empirical investigation using panel data regression analysis. Four dependent variables (return on equity, return on assets, earning per share, and Tobin’s Q) and three independent variables (long-term debt ratio, short-term debt ratio and total debt ratios) were selected to measure financial performance and capital structure, respectively. Size is a control variable. The results indicated that firm performance, which was measured by return on asset, return on equity, and earnings per share, has a significant negative relationship with short-term debt ratio, long-term debt ratio, and total debt ratio. Tobin’s Q showed no relationship with short-term debt and long-term debt.

Authors: Rahmawati Ummi , Iribaram Suparto , Al Jauhari Shofwan
Published: July 2024

Apart from being a place of collective worship, mosques can also be a potential place of Qur'an education for Muslims. However, this context has not been comprehensively discussed in previous studies. This study not only aims to complement the shortcomings of previous studies but also focuses on the question of the function and potential of the mosque as a place of Qur'an education for Muslims. To answer this question, this study chose to use a descriptive qualitative approach by conducting direct and structured observations and interviews with informants. The findings in this study show two important contexts regarding the function and potential of the mosque as a place of Qur'an education for Muslims. First, the management of mosque space can be a potential place in conducting Qur'an education for Muslims as has been done at the Baiturrahmah Mosque. Second, good management of the Qur'an education program can increase interest and shape Muslims to be more active and participatory as happened at the Baiturrahmah Mosque. From these two important findings, it can be reflected that the mosque, apart from functioning as a space for collective worship, can also be a potential place to conduct effective and efficient Qur'an education.

Published: July 2024

The present study focused on impact assessment of redmud pond on groundwater using numerical groundwater flow and contaminant transport modeling using pertinent data including water quality and 2D electrical resistivity imaging data. The observed groundwater depths range from 1.2 to 25.8 meters below ground level with deeper levels observed in upstream and higher elevated regions in the study area. Elevated pH and electrical conductivity (>3000 μS/cm) characterize the Redmud ponds, while other groundwater samples meet BIS drinking water standards. Major ion concentrations contouring indicates high total dissolved solids (TDS) around Redmud ponds due to leakage and in the downstream due to domestic sewage pollution. Most locations adhere to BIS drinking water limits except for one downstream site. The resistivity data indicated hard formations (>18 m depth) with resistivity >500 Ohm.m, weathered basalt (12-18 m, 60-150 Ohm.m), and saturated water (12 m, 1-5 Ohm.m). Contaminated aquifers (<1 Ohm.m) are detected up to 3 m depth, and noticed accumulating contaminated water (27 m depth) in the NW corner of the Redmud pond from seepage. Predominant groundwater flow from the Redmud pond towards public water bodies and streams is highlighted by simulated contaminant transport model. Collaboration and comprehensive management are recommended to protect the watershed’s environmental integrity and public health.

ASSIMETRIA DE PODER NO BRICS E SUAS POSIÇÕES REFORMISTAS E PRÓ-STATUS QUO SOBRE INSTITUIÇÕES INTERNACIONAIS
Authors: Rael Robson Cunha , Lourenção Humberto José
Published: July 2024

O objeto de estudo se enquadra na literatura sobre as relações entre potências emergentes e instituições internacionais. O objetivo é analisar por que grupos de potências emergentes demonstram interesse em reformar algumas instituições e de manter o status quo em outras. A hipótese é que os membros mais poderosos do grupo buscam manter ou aumentar a assimetria de poder, a qual pode ser obtida pela manutenção do status quo ou da reforma de instituições internacionais. O marco teórico é a abordagem que combina power-to com power-over, de modo que os países mais poderosos do grupo (num dado tema) conseguem por meio de um processo de participação alcançar um resultado que legitima a diferença de poder. O método é de estudo de caso. BRICS é o caso escolhido ser intercontinental e conter as maiores potências emergentes. Para fins comparativos, as arenas institucionais escolhidas foram o Fundo Monetário Internacional (FMI) e o Conselho de Segurança das Nações Unidas (CSNU), por ser possível identificar uma posição do BRICS reformista em relação à primeira e pró-status quo em relação à segunda.

Authors: Giesteira Luís Felipe , Goulart de Souza Wagner , Pinho de Andrade Lima José Roberto
Published: July 2024

Embora na maioria dos Estados democráticos seja comum apontar a dificuldade em compreender o que as Forças Armadas realmente fazem e como utilizam os recursos orçamentários que lhes são destinados, há uma escassez de estudos que aplicam a Análise de Políticas Públicas - área acadêmica especializada na avaliação e aprimoramento das ações governamentais - para a matéria. Sem descartar a importância da perspectiva mais abstrata e formal das teorias dos bens públicos e dos modelos de análise de políticas públicas, o presente estudo destaca elementos concretos que marcam uma política específica, situada entre as de defesa e as voltadas para o desenvolvimento industrial e tecnológico. Empregando metodologia qualitativa, exploratória e técnicas de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, foram aplicados alguns conceitos e teorias com base na versão, em seis etapas, do modelo Ciclo de Políticas Públicas, na política brasileira, para a chamada “Base Industrial de Defesa”. Mostra-se que as lideranças da área foram hábeis no relacionamento com a esfera política e conseguiram colocar o tema na agenda decisória de alto nível. Além disso, apesar da instabilidade política da última década, a baixa coordenação formal entre as diferentes Forças, a modesta burocracia civil do Ministério da Defesa, a ausência de um sistema de monitoramento adequado das ações realizadas e a frustração orçamentária em grande parte do período, os dados disponíveis sugerem que foram alcançados resultados relevantes.

Published: July 2024

This study aims to develop an operational Private Automatic Branch Exchange (PABX) telephone system to be used as a laboratory tool for students in the Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Communications Technology (BSECT) program at the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines (USTP). The PABX trainer is expected to enhance students' occupational preparation for potential employment in the telecommunications and networking industries. Through the operational platform, students' cognitive, manipulative, and programming skills related to PABX can be assessed. A telecommunications course is a core component of the BSECT curriculum, familiarizing students with corporate communications platforms like PABX. The presence of physical PABX equipment is crucial for quality instruction aligned with the Commission on Higher Education's (CHED) standards and the university's accreditation requirements. While PABX has been widely used in industry, incorporating its technology into the BSECT curriculum remains necessary. This study aims to innovate pedagogical tools that establish students' PABX-related skill sets and potentially lead to further investigations and system integrations with other ICT technologies. The study yielded positive affirmation of the content, technical, and instructional qualities, and its overall acceptability relative to the learning tool. There are also significant improvements in the student’s cognitive skills, manipulative skills, and programming skills set out of using the PABX learning tool in laboratory activities.

The coronavirus disease code-named COVID-19 is a fatal disease that severely affected all facets of life globally, without sparing the education sector. This paper used the functional approach, examining the challenges to teaching and learning during and after the COVID-19 era in universities in Zimbabwe. The study assesses how the changes in the teaching and learning processes due to the COVID-19 pandemic affected learners and lecturers in universities in Zimbabwe and evaluates the measures taken by universities to address the effects of COVID-19 on the learning and teaching processes. A case study was undertaken in a metropolitan city in Zimbabwe. Seven lecturers were purposively sampled from the university’s 8 faculties, seventy learners were chosen distributively from each faculty as a sample to represent the learners. Semi-structured interviews with lecturers, focus group interviews with learners, naturalistic observations and document analyses were used as tools for gathering primary and secondary data. The research established that an assortment of online platforms and applications were employed during the COVID-19 era to enhance e-learning, particularly during the lockdown periods. WhatsApp emerged as the most commonly used learning platform probably due to affordability and availability. Challenges faced by many learners included the high cost of data, electricity load-shedding, lack of advanced digital skills and poor internet connectivity among others. The study established that there was a decline in research output at local universities. Opportunities which arose included among others, increased awareness of platforms to share knowledge, opportunity to do business, and exposure to new online teaching and learning technologies which could transform the local education sector into a leading 21st century status. The study emerged as an important tool for various stakeholders including parents, universities and the government. It unearthed several important aspects of COVID-19 focusing on academia. The study revealed that the hybrid learning approach is likely to continue into the foreseeable future of tertiary education post-COVID-19 era).

The study examined the utilization of the Students’ Information System (SIS) within public Senior High Schools in the Cape Coast Metropolis. Adopting a mixed method convergent parallel research design, the study sampled 306 teachers and 22 ICT coordinators through proportionate stratified and purposive sampling techniques respectively. Findings indicate that the SIS facilitates teachers in efficiently inputting students’ scores and providing feedback through their portals. While teachers perceive the system as aiding in accurately interpreting students’ scores, they encounter challenges when attempting to upload scores from Microsoft Excel onto the SIS. Despite its benefits, teachers disagree that the SIS is entirely error-free. The study concludes that though the SIS streamlines various tasks for teachers, such as score entry and feedback provision, issues persist with uploading scores from Excel, possibly due to inadequate training. Thus, the study recommends organizing training sessions or workshops to enhance teachers’ proficiency in utilizing the SIS, particularly concerning the upload process from Excel.

Authors: Mrutu Nipael , Ali Zaituni , Mwang'ombe Alice
Published: July 2024

Purpose: Kenya’s paradigm shifts in curriculum from content based to competence-based curriculum is geared towards improving the quality of education to meet the global demands. This prompts the need to build a firm foundation from early childhood education through appropriate classroom learning experiences and good leadership. This study explored educational leaders' practices in their management of primary schools in Kenya.
Methodology: This article draws evidence from the Longitudinal Study which was designed among other things to establish the best practices that teacher educators can adopt to inform the professional learning of Student Teachers to become effective champion teachers, and leaders. The study adopted a mixed method approach with a sample size of 29, comprising 4 education officers, 25 head teachers in Mombasa and Kilifi counties in Kenya.
Findings: The findings revealed that most education leaders have embraced transformative leadership styles and policies to motivate their subordinates through action research, portfolio, mentorship, coaching, collaboration, and networking. Findings revealed further that mentorship is key in educational leadership and thus should be regarded as a vital aspect in teacher education and in professional learning. Data also indicated that leadership styles differ in relation to the context.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: The leader’s role is deeply involved with setting the school’s direction; thus, teacher leadership preparation is essential for successful implementation of education processes and programs. Hence, we recommend that school leaders should be adequately prepared to face the tasks and the accompanying contextual challenges they face once assigned the responsibilities to lead institutions.

Purpose: This study explored the psychosocial challenges experienced by teenage student mothers in senior high schools in Asene Manso Akroso District, Ghana.
Methodology: The qualitative research approach was employed to understand and explore the psychosocial challenges experienced by teenage student mothers in senior high schools in Asene Manso Akroso District. Purposive sampling method was used to select the population of the study. Data saturation point was used to select a sample of twelve teenage student mothers from a population of fifty-five teenage student mothers from the two senior high schools in the district. Interview guide was used for the data collection and content analysis was used to analyse the data.
Findings: The study revealed that teenage student mothers were ridiculed and rejected by their peers in school. It was also found that the teenage student mothers felt lonely and isolated as most of their friends shunned them for fear of being classified in the same category with teen mothers.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: It is therefore, recommended that guidance and counselling units in senior high schools should liaise with school authorities to provide academic and social support systems to help them adjust into the school system
Regularity and normality of nano topological spaces modeled by pre-open sets structures
Authors: Hussein Ghufran Ali , Al-Nafie Z. D.
Published: July 2024

A new class of Nano topological spaces, termed nano pre-open sets, are presented and explored in this article. Since the Nano topology contains at most five sets, we establish new structures of nano open sets and nano open covers and new requirement concepts are discussed like Nano pre-open covers, Nano pre- T_0, T_1, T_2. In this work, regularity and normality are defined as follows: Nano pre-regular and Nano pre-normal spaces. Many new theorems are stated and proved.
