Authors: Mahato Jay Prakash , Poudel Yam Krishna , Mandal Raman Kumar , Chapagain Madan Raj
Published: February 2024

The growing demand for electricity has raised concerns about power dissipation in distribution systems. To mitigate these losses, capacitors and distributed generator (DGs), particularly solar PV are strategically placed within the system. This project is committed to reducing power losses and improving the voltage profile through an in-depth analysis, optimizing the placement of capacitor and DG along the distribution feeder. The application of forward and backward sweep (FBS) algorithms assists load flow analysis in distribution networks with high R/X ratios, while the incorporation of the Genetic Algorithm (GA) within MATLAB identifies optimal locations & size for capacitors and DGs inside the large solution space of this complex, nonlinear optimization problem. Test outcomes, conducted on an IEEE 33-bus test system as its convincing representation of medium sized distribution network providing a versatile platform for evaluating proposed methodologies with practical implementation, showcase load flow examination, improvements in voltage profiles and minimized energy dissipation. The methodology is further applied to the real distribution network of the Sallaghari-Thimi 11 kV feeder in Bhaktapur, Nepal, sustaining the approach's effectiveness in mitigating power losses and increasing voltage profiles. Distributed generation with capacitor outperforms capacitors, and DG integration in the power system results in significant reductions of 72.91% in real power loss and 63.45% in reactive power loss, with a notable 6.542% increase in voltage magnitude. Application of these strategies in the Thimi Sallaghari 11 kV feeder demonstrates significant power loss saving (up to 82.72%) and worthy improvements in voltage profiles (up to 5.32%), focusing on their effectiveness in enhancing operational efficiency. This approach provides a practical solution for optimizing capacitor and solar PV distributed generator placement in distribution networks considering various case scenarios.

As one of the most obvious manifestations of tangible footprint of human civilization on Earth, concrete is largely and widely applied, and has become the largest amount of man-made engineering material in the world. Compared with other engineering materials, concrete consumes less production resource and energy, has fewer harmful by-products, and causes less environmental impact. Additionally, due to its excellent mechanical properties, such as compressive strength and fatigue resistance, along with its water and fire resistance, the infrastructure constructed by applying concrete has the advantages of high safety, durability, and low maintenance. Consequently, concrete remains a reliable choice for sustainable development of the field of human construction and engineering and remains indispensable in the future. However, inherent shortcomings and current performance limitations of concrete do not meet the requirements for the construction and expansion of human living spaces in the future. Moreover, the production and use of large quantities of concrete have a significant impact on resources, energy, and environment. Nanoscience and nanotechnology can be used to understand and control concrete at its fundamental level, enabling the realization of (ultra) high-performance and multifunctional/smart concrete, which in turn can give impetus to addressing the aforementioned challenges and achieving sustainable development. This article focuses on three core research advancements related to enhancement/modification mechanisms, preparation and performance control, and performance and functionality characterization for engineering applications of nanoengineered concrete. It mainly introduces the explanation/principle investigation of scientific phenomena including nano-core effect, nano-core effect zone, nano-core effect-induced enrichment effect for interface enhancement, nano-core effect-induced ultrahigh-density calcium silicate gel, and nanoscale pore structure characteristics, the exploration of advanced technologies for performance modulation and large-scale preparation of nano-engineered concrete (e. g. , surface treatment, self-assembly, and in-situ growth techniques, etc. ) , as well as the understanding gained from the expansion of the properties of nanoengineered concrete and the validation of engineering applications in the fields of civil engineering, transportation, municipal, marine, energy, and military.

Chamomile has been widely used as a functional tea due to its effects on several neurohormones, some of which are related to tryptophan. An analytical ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) technique was successfully optimized and validated to determine tryptophan levels in chamomile flowers. A Box-Behnken design, in conjunction with response surface methodology, was conducted based on 3 factors and 3 levels: Temperature (x1; 30, 50, and 70 °C), solvent composition (x2; 0, 40, and 80% methanol in water), and ultrasonic power (x3; 20, 60, and 100%). The main (x2) and quadratic effect of solvent (x2x2); quadratic of temperature (x1x1) and ultrasonic power (x3x3); also, the interaction of solvent-ultrasonic power (x2x3) and temperature-ultrasonic power (x1x3), significantly affected (p < 0.05) the level of L-tryptophan in the extracts. Optimum extraction conditions were achieved by applying a temperature of 54 °C for 15 min using 17% methanol in water and 69% ultrasonic power. A high recovery (94.26%) was achieved with 2 extraction cycles. The coefficient of variation (CV) demonstrated that the developed method had a satisfactory level of precision (CV < 5%) for repeatability and intermediate precision. To check the applicability of the method, the parts of 2 types of chamomile flowers (German and Roman) were evaluated. This method was successfully applied to characterize chamomile flowers based on L-tryptophan levels.

Impact of human activities on conservation of endangered species is significant due to the creation of wildlife-livestock interfaces (WLI), which increases the likelihood of disease transmissions. Protected wildlife populations may suffer from diseases caused by gastrointestinal (GI) parasites, potentially impacting conservation efforts. A population of ~100 wild bantengs inhabits the Lam-Pao non-hunting area, which is adjacent to human communities, animal farms and the Pao River, making this WLI suitable for a study of prevalence of GI parasites in the bantengs and domestic cattle. This research examined the prevalence and diversity of GI parasites and explored the associations between the parasitic species identified in the 2 animal groups. Formalin ethyl - acetate concentration technique (FECT) identified overall prevalence of 26.2, 17.4, 53.3 % for both animal groups, bantengs and domestic cattle respectively. The following prevalence of parasitic eggs were identified in the bantengs (N = 46) and the domestic cattle (N = 15) respectively: 1) 8.7 and 46 % of strongyle-type; 2) 4.3 and 6.7 % of Moniezia spp.; 3) 2.2 and 0 % of Fasciola spp.; 4) 6.5 and 6.7 % of Rumen flukes; 5) 0 and 13.3 % of Toxocara spp.; 6) 0 and 6.7 % of Capillaria spp.; 7) 0 and 6.7 % of Strongyloides spp.; and 8) 0 and 6.7 % of Trichuris spp. The combination of coproculture and polymerase chain reactions (PCR) was used to identified common strongyle-type species. We determined Oesophagostomum radiatum in 2 cattle (13.3 %) and 3 (6.5 %) banteng samples, Cooperia onchophora in 1 (6.7 %) cattle sample and Ostertagia ostertagi in 1 (6.7 %) cattle sample. The results present in this study would enable management to proactively strategize and prepare for parasitic diseases that can endanger such a population.
HIGHLIGHTS

FECT indicated that strongyle-type eggs were the most observed in bantengs and domestic cattle.
Overall prevalence of 26.2, 17.4 and 53.3 % for bantengs, domestic cattle and both groups combined were reported, which were relatively low.
The prevalence of strongyle-type and Toxocara eggs differed statistically between the 2 groups, potentially due to farming, leading to re-infections and high prevalence in domestic animals.

COMPAIRING OF PERFECT GASES AND REAL GASES
Authors: R. Shirullah  , H. Muhammad
Published: February 2024

In brief, we may state that Ideal gases have molecular interactions, with the mass of the molecules receiving more attention. However, the factors are altered by an unusually low temperature and high pressure. The Bayel Maryot rule states that for Ideal gases, the effect of pressure on the bulk at constant temperature has a constant magnitude, hence in this instance, PV is equal to CONST (PV = constant). The attractive force between molecules and the majority of molecules in actual gases (gases seen in nature) should be investigated under high pressure and low temperature (relatively). Actual gases in environments similar to Ideal gases must be very dependent on the rule for Ideal gases. And it should be distinct from the circumstances of ethylene gas. This indicates that gases differ from the principles of Normal gases to the extent that their gravity increases as a result of high pressure and a lower temperature. The distance between molecules decreases when pressure is high enough and temperature is low enough. However, the strength of molecular interactions has greatly increased, which has the effect of changing a substance from a gas to a liquid. As this method was once used to turn gases into liquids. Compressor is the term used to describe the process by which gases are changed into liquids. The compression factor of all perfect gases is z=1, and under any pressure, it neither drops nor increases from 1. This is another contrast between the behavior of perfect gases and real gases. However, this behavior differs in real gases because they can have compression factors that are diametrically opposed to 1, or (z≠1). Keywords: Ideal gas, Real gas, Carbon dioxide, compression factor, compressor.

Published: February 2024

Stress, which has various dimensions, is a reaction that can disrupt the daily routines of living things in terms of physiology and psychology. Organizational stress is a situation that can cause disruption in the joint work of people focused on the same goal. Stress experienced in organizations is considered reasonable up to certain levels. However, an intense stress environment can lead to a number of problems such as poor performance, communication disorders, and desire to leave work. Identifying stress sources and examining their causes in depth is of great importance in preventing intense stress and keeping stress at a reasonable level. Identifying organizational stress sources and their causes will provide strategic convenience for managers and enable businesses to achieve organizational success. This research is aimed to determine the sources of organizational stress and to associate the stress dimensions that stand out as a result of the research with attribution behavior. Within the scope of the research were examined data of 590 hotel employees. Data were analyzed with the SPSS Programme. The dimensions of organizational stress were determined by Explanatory Factor Analysis. As a result of the research, stress originating from the manager and employee relations, which is one of the prominent dimensions of organizational stress, has been associated with external attribution behavior. Stress stemming from organizational structure, which is another prominent dimension, has been associated with internal attribution behavior. For managing the external attribution behavior, it is necessary to provide appropriate working conditions within the enterprise. For managing internal attribution behavior, an effective communication environment should be established.

The paper meticulously examines the status and contributions of women in various economic and managerial capacities, shedding light on their influence, responsibilities, and the extent to which they were integral to the economic fabric of ancient Indian societies. Drawing insights from Arthashastra, historical evidence, and scholarly interpretations, the research aims to present a comprehensive picture of the multifaceted roles played by women in shaping economic policies and managing resources in the ancient Indian context.

The objective of this study was to investigate representations of dating apps for Brazilian users, and whether there were differences regarding sex, sexual orientation and age. It had quantitative and qualitative approaches. Instrument used for data collection was an online questionnaire. Spontaneous responses brought up representations linked to unspecified relationships, feelings of discomfort or suffering, and practicality. Most prevalent closed-question representations were practicality, getting initial information before meeting people and searching for a stable love relationship. Establishing a long-term relationship was more prevalent in women and heterosexuals in general; aiming for sex was more prevalent in men and homosexuals, and living veiled experiences that cannot be openly experienced in face-to-face life was more prevalent in homosexuals. There were little statistically significant differences related to age. Despite changes in contemporary love relationships, traditional social representations are still in place: linked to the search for an ideal partner (women) and for sex and a transgressive jouissance (men). Apps reflect search for practicality and utilitarianism of postmodern capitalism in large cities, but also fun and pastime.

The Role Of Kenya’s Economic Diplomacy In Enhancing Economic Resilience In The East African Community (EAC) Region
Authors: Irungu Eric J.
Published: February 2024

Economic diplomacy is emerging as a critical pillar in the foreign policy of states around the world. The Kenya Foreign Policy Framework (2014) recognizes economic diplomacy as one of the key pillars of the state’s foreign policy alongside peace diplomacy, environmental diplomacy, cultural diplomacy and diaspora diplomacy. The East African Community (EAC) region has a long history of fostering economic cooperation right from the time of the East African Cooperation up to date. This is the foundation of the shared economic objective of enhancing economic development for the region as a way of building resilient economies that can overcome global economic challenges that have been occasioned by globalization and the related complex inter dependencies among states. This has seen EAC states move towards regional integration efforts. This study examined broadly how this pillar is cast towards the realization of resilient economies in the East African region and how this contributes towards the region’s economic development. It specifically focused on three crucial research objectives: first, is to examine the foreign policy formulation process touching on economic interests; secondly, is to investigate the key economic diplomacy strategies that Kenya employs in the region towards enhancing economic resilience; thirdly is to evaluate the achievements of Kenya’s economic diplomacy towards the EAC region. The study employed an explanatory research design anchored on a mixed method of data collection employing the use of questionnaires and interviews.
