Parthenium (Parthenium hysterophorus L.) characterization in the southeast of Ethiopia, in the Oromia Region, the compost for Major Plant Nutrient Contents experiment was carried out in the Ginir District of the Bale Zone. As a result, the purpose of this research was to evaluate the quality and nutrient content of compost made from parthenium combined with wheat byproduct and farmyard manure. Before they began to bloom, the parthenium plants were harvested and cut into smaller pieces. As a result, parthenium compost was made using three different methods, including parthenium biomass plus farmyard manure, parthenium biomass plus crop residue, and parthenium biomass plus both farmyard manure and crop residue. Important chemical characteristics like pH, EC, OC, TN, available P, CEC, and exchangeable bases (Ca, Mg, K, and Na) and micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Cu, and Zn) were examined using standard practice laboratory techniques. The compost had high plant nutrients and significantly varied among the three Parthenium compost preparation techniques, according to the results of the final laboratory analysis of the prepared and harvested Parthenium compost. As a result, Parthenium compost provides multiple benefits, including high nutrient content, weed control, and the general environmental friendliness of using organic fertilizers.
Control the Uniformity of Hydrometric Data
Authors:   Central Geophysical Observatory named after Boris Sreznevsky, Kyiv, Ukraine, Vasilievna Budnik Svetlana
Published: December 2024

Objective: The purpose of the study is to study the influence of series of hydrometric observations on the transfer of hydrometric sources along the river in order to convert the results and analyze them. since individual long-term series cannot unambiguously characterize the impact of climate change and economic activity on river flow.

Theoretical Framework: The prerequisite for the study is the presence of a logical theory of the formation of water flow along the length of the river in various physical and geographical conditions, as well as the presence of a relationship between charge of water in the river and water levels in it.

Method: A graph-analytical research method was used, which makes it possible to clearly determine the deviations of measurement data over time from the main trend. The analysis was carried out based on the materials of long-term observations of river flow on the state hydrometeorological observation network of Ukraine.

Results and Discussion: The studies carried out confirm all the theoretical justifications for the theory of water flow in river beds and show a reliable way to check for the presence of distortion in runoff calculations when moving observation sites. Using the proposed method, it is possible to easily determine whether the transfer of gauges is the cause of flow distortion or economic activity, etc.

Research Implications: The research results indicate the need to clarify periods with homogeneous data and determine the rate of water flow from them for use in design and forecasting. A thorough analysis of the morphometry and regime of the river will allow us to determine the optimal location of the hydrological post.
Originality/Value: Despite the wide popularity of the graphic-analytical method for studying the homogeneity of observation series, it has not been used in the proposed form. The importance of the development is that the proposed method allows you to quickly determine the interruption time of a series of observations and make appropriate adjustments to the water cadastre materials.
Analisis Yuridis SEMA nomor 2 Tahun 2023 Tentang Petunjuk Hakim dalam Perkara Pencatatan Perkawinan Antar Agama Menurut UU HAM Nomor 39 Tahun 1999
Authors: Rato Antonius Aldo , Puteri Marsya Duni
Published: December 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis secara yuridis petunjuk hakim dalam perkara pencatatan perkawinan antar agama berdasarkan Surat Edaran Mahkamah Agung (SEMA) Nomor 2 Tahun 2023 serta relevansinya dengan Undang-Undang Hak Asasi Manusia (UU HAM) Nomor 39 Tahun 1999. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah analisis normatif dengan pendekatan peraturan perundang-undangan dan studi literatur. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi kewajiban dan tanggung jawab lembaga terkait dalam pencatatan perkawinan sesuai ketentuan hukum yang berlaku. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa SEMA Nomor 2 Tahun 2023 dari Mahkamah Agung (MA) secara tegas melarang Pengadilan Negeri untuk mengabulkan permohonan pencatatan perkawinan beda agama. Edaran ini diterbitkan dengan tujuan meminimalisir pencatatan perkawinan beda agama yang kerap diajukan ke pengadilan, mengingat tingginya permohonan serta adanya hakim yang kadang mengabulkannya melalui celah hukum tertentu. Di sisi lain, Kantor Catatan Sipil (KCS) memiliki kewenangan mencatat perkawinan beda agama karena fungsinya hanya mencatat, bukan mengesahkan, meskipun tidak semua KCS bersedia melangsungkannya. Kesimpulannya, SEMA ini memberikan landasan hukum yang kuat untuk menolak permohonan pencatatan perkawinan beda agama di pengadilan, namun masih dibutuhkan pemahaman yang lebih mendalam dalam penerapannya guna memastikan perlindungan hak asasi manusia dalam konteks perkawinan antar agama

1918 წელს საქართველომ დამოუკიდებლობა აღიდგინა, პროცესი ურთულესი საერთაშორისო და შიდა გამოწვევების ფონზე წარიმართა. დამოუკიდებლობა გამოაცხადა მთიელთა რესპუბლიკამაც, რომელიც ჩრდილოეთ კავკასიის ძირითად ნაწ­ილს მოიცავდა. ჩამოყალიბების პროცესში მყოფი სახელმ­წიფ­ოების დამოუკიდებლობას საერთო ძალა ებრძოდა, ჯერ თეთ­რგვარდიული, შემდეგ კი ბოლშევიკური რუსეთის სახით. საე­რთო ბრძოლაში წარმატებისთვის ორივე მხარე კარგად აცნო­ბიერებდა კავკასიის კონსოლიდაციის მნიშვნელობას.
საქართველოს დემოკრატიულმა რესპუბლიკამ უმწვავესი პოლიტიკური კრიზისებისა და მეზობელთა ტერიტორიული პრეტენზიების ფონზე დაიწყო სიცოცხლე, რასაც თან ემატებოდა ბოლშევიკების ანტისახელმწიფოებრივი მოქმედებები ქვეყნის შიგნით. ლოგიკურად, სახელმწიფოს შემოსავლების კოლოსა­ლ­ური ნაწილი თავდაცვაზე იხარჯებოდა, რაც სერიოზულ ფინა­ნსურ პრობლემებს ქმნიდა, ჯეროვანი რეფორმების განხორცი­ელ­ებისა და სრულფასოვანი ჩამოყალიბების პროცესს აფერხებდა. თუმცა, ქვეყნის პირდაპირ ინტერესებში შედიოდა ჩრდილოეთ კავკასიის თავისუფლება, რამდენადაც იგი რუსეთისგან თავ­დაცვის ფარს ქმნიდა და სრულიად კავკასიის დამოუკი­დებ­ლო­ბას აძლიერებდა. აქედან გამომდინარე, საქართველოს მთავ­რობა თავისი არსებობის მანძილზე მხარს უწყვეტად უჭერდა მთი­ელთა რესპუბლიკას, როგორც პოლიტიკური, ისე მატე­რია­ლური რესურსით. მთიელთა ინტერესები იმდენად დაუკავ­შირდა საქა­რთველოს, რომ ბოლოს იგი საქართველოსთან ავტო­ნომიის უფლ­ებით შეერთების თხოვნამდეც მივიდა.

Published: December 2024

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of technology-based learning methods among prospective professional teachers in North Aceh, focusing on understanding, application, challenges, and effectiveness. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, involving 152 prospective teachers as research subjects. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and documentation, and analyzed using thematic analysis. Questionnaire results indicated that 98.56% of prospective teachers had a strong understanding of technology-based learning, 84.87% were able to effectively apply technology in teaching, 85.74% faced significant challenges in technology-based learning, and 70.61% had an effective understanding of the technology-based learning process. Observations revealed that 72.59% had planned technology-based learning, 81.58% used technology extensively, 65.79% students interacted with technology, 69.74% teachers could manage classes well using technology, 94.96% believed technology had a positive impact on learning outcomes, and 86.18% were able to provide feedback and adjust teaching based on data. Despite its challenges, technology-based learning was considered effective in enhancing participation, comprehension of materials, and independent learning. Although prospective teachers showed good competence in integrating technology, there is a need for improved training and infrastructure support to optimize its implementation in education. This study is expected to provide insights for curriculum development to better prepare prospective teachers for the challenges of digital-era education.
A Comparative Study of Conventional vs. Endoscopic Septoplasty
Authors: Darji Bhagyesh Lalitchandra
Published: December 2024

Background: Septoplasty is the treatment for the symptomatic Deviated Nasal Septum. There has been a drift from septal resection to mucosal preservation to conservation of possible septal framework in the septoplasty surgeries. The endoscopic technique is modern evolution of the septoplasty surgery. This study has been undertaken to evaluate the conventional and endoscopic approaches of the septoplasty surgeries and aid in statistical informative data to ongoing researches for better outcome comparison. Aims and Objectives: To compare conventional and endoscopic techniques of Septoplasty and to find out which technique is better on the basis of various intraoperative and postoperative objectives. Material and Methods: A prospective randomized comparative study was conducted with a sample size of total 60 patients; 30 in each group. Both the groups were statistically compared for various predefined intraoperative and postoperative objective to determine the better technique of septoplasty. Results: Endoscopic technique was better than conventional in terms of ease for surgical process, time taken for the surgery, intra operative blood loss, visualization of the pathology and postoperative residual deviation. Conclusions: Endoscopic technique was found better in terms of less intra operative complication like bleeding, better visualization, better illumination, magnification, more conservative approach, ease of surgery, less time duration of surgery and less postoperative residual deviation with limitation of binocular vision and bimanual work. Endoscopic septoplasty is modern alternative technique to conventional septoplasty and is a good teaching tool also.

Published: December 2024

Introduction: Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder marked by elevated blood glucose levels, with type 2 diabetes being the most prevalent form. As a non-communicable disease, diabetes poses a major public health challenge, and its prevalence is rising worldwide, reaching epidemic levels that may soon surpass those of communicable diseases in both developing and developed countries. Objective: To evaluate the risk of diabetes among doctors and nurses at a tertiary care hospital. Methodology: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was carried out among doctors and nurses at a tertiary care hospital in Puducherry from February to April 2022. Participants for the survey were selected using a simple random sampling method. Results: Most participants in the study were aged between 36 and 49
years, comprising 60.5% of the sample. Among them, 63.0% were male, and 65.5% resided in urban areas. The largest proportion had a normal BMI (51.5%), followed by overweight individuals (36.5%) and those classified as obese (7.5%). Additionally, 59.5% of participants exhibited abdominal obesity, 63.5% reported no physical activity, and 77.5% did not have a family history of diabetes. Conclusion: This study evaluates the effectiveness of a simplified Indian Diabetes Risk Score (IDRS) in identifying high-risk individuals within the working population. There is an immediate need to encourage for healthy lifestyle practices among doctors and nurses. Physicians should actively strive to implement the knowledge they possess daily.

Published: December 2024

Objective: Comparative study of vitamin D status in late preterm and term neonates with sepsis and healthy neonates in a tertiary care hospital in Northern India. Methods: In this hospital based case control study conducted over 12 months, a total of 70 late preterm and term neonates
were included, with 35 neonates each in the sepsis group and non-sepsis group. The difference between the mean vitamin D level of the neonates with sepsis and neonates without sepsis
group was calculated. The association of VDD with neonatal sepsis was determined by multivariate logistic regression analysis. P value of 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The study found that about 80% of neonates in the septic group and 52% of neonates in the non-septic group had vitamin D deficiency. The mean Cholecalciferol in the septic group (13.51 ng/ml ± 6.56 ng/ml) was significantly lower (p value 0.02) than in the non-septic group (24.47 n/ml ± 8.73 ng/ml). There was a positive correlation between degree of vitamin D deficiency (severe VDD and insufficiency) and sepsis (p = 0.005). Prolonged hospital stay and antibiotic treatment were observed in the septic group (p < 0.001) with significant mortality (p < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that lower vitamin D levels, maternal hypertension, premature birth, and lower birth weight significantly increased the odds of sepsis, highlighting these as predictive factors for adverse outcomes. Conclusion: The study showed a significant association of neonatal sepsis with vitamin D. The study highlights extended hospital stays and increased mortality among septic neonates with vitamin D deficiency.

“Cosmo-huevos”: la idea de Asia como ecosistema de la esfera cultural asiática
Authors: Marrero Tejeda Edisabel
Published: December 2024

A fundamental node of discussion in the historiographical narration of art in Asia is the very idea of (the) Asia/s, which has become a geo-aesthetic conceptualization in which Asia / East Asia / Japan become interchangeable concepts. This article outlines a reading of the Japanese proposal for the 58th edition of the Venice Biennale entitled "Cosmo - eggs", from the perspective of the question of whether it is possible to affirm that the idea of Asia constitutes the signifying anchor for the national pavilion of Japan. The aim is to problematize the appropriation or resemantization of Asianness as an underlying discursive strategy in the Japanese curatorial project.

Cambios en la representación de lo femenino desde el arte contemporáneo: performance de María Evelia Marmolejo
Authors: Carus Puerta Sira
Published: December 2024

This paper aims to analyze how contemporary art can be a space of representation of the feminine in relation to feminisms, and how this surfacess an opportunity to propose new and different ways of presenting ourselves in the world. It is proposed that using contemporary art as a vehicle to re-imagine the feminine enables more open perspectives and representations, which help to open dialogues about the symbolisims for women. This paper helps us to question the implications those symbolization have had traditionally, why they have emerged, how they have been perpetuated and, most importantly, how we can move away from them to make our own proposals for societal advances.

Authors: Zaworska-Nikoniuk Dorota Monika
Published: December 2024

Cel. Celem badań jest poznanie dominujących przekazów mieszkanek miast i wsi prezentowanych w programie Damy i Wieśniaczki. Przedmiotem badań jest program telewizyjny. Ramę pojęciową badań stanowiły podstawowe kategorie pedagogiki społecznej. Próbą badawczą było siedem sezonów programu (101 odcinków), emitowanych w TTV w latach 2016–2023. Ze względu na to, że przedmiotem badań jest program telewizyjny, przekaz jest tu jednostronny, a jego oglądanie nie wymaga od widza żadnej dodatkowej aktywności
poza pasywnym odbiorem. Obrazy wieśniaczek i dam kreowane w programie mogą narzucać odbiorcom definicje kobiecości, są więc szczególnie istotne z perspektywy pedagogiki społecznej, uwrażliwionej na społeczne (w tym płciowe) nierówności. Materiały i metody. Metodą zbierania danych było przeszukiwanie źródeł wtórnych, zaś strategią analizy danych była analiza dyskursu.
Wyniki i wnioski. Tożsamość damy określały dyskursy nowobogactwa, luksusu, doskonałości ciała, wiecznej młodości, zaś wieśniaczki – zaniedbania i biedy, ciała niedoskonałego i nieadekwatnego. Kategorię domu rodzinnego wieśniaczki zdominowały dyskursy zaniedbania, niechlujstwa (brudu), biedy, zaś damy – luksusu, modnej architektury, nieskazitelnej czystości, przestrzeni, samotności. W prezentacji rodziny i życia rodzinnego w dyskursach kobiety ze wsi uwidacznia się sylwetka kobiety-Atlasa (siłaczki), żyjącej w rodzinie patriarchalnej, matki-misjonarki, natomiast damy: równouprawnienia płci, kobiety zdobywanej i uwodzonej, tęsknoty za macierzyństwem. Praca zawodowa wieśniaczki ukazywana była jako praca dobrej rolniczki i uległej żony, zaś damy jako lekka i przyjemna, będąca realizacją pasji i marzeń. W kategorii czasu wolnego wieśniaczki wyróżniono dyskurs pielęgnacji więzi rodzinnych i sąsiedzkich, ludowej zabawy, celebrowania tradycji, zaś damy – dyskurs próżności i konsumpcjonizmu.

Published: December 2024

Cel. Głos ludzki, zarówno mówiony (oralny), jak i śpiewany (wokalny), odgrywa kluczową rolę w komunikacji międzyludzkiej oraz w przekazie ekspresji artystycznej. W pracy nauczyciela edukacji wczesnoszkolnej i wychowania przedszkolnego głos mówiony jest narzędziem, które wpływa m.in. na efektywność przekazu, zarządzanie klasą oraz budowanie relacji nauczyciela z uczniami. Głos śpiewany natomiast jest wykorzystywany do prezentowania piosenek, śpiewu z klasą oraz zabaw i ćwiczeń, w których nauczyciel prezentuje głosem wokalnym pojedyncze frazy czy całe utwory. Celem artykułu było przedstawienie przeglądu literaturowego oraz analizy badań wycinkowych wskazujących na zależność pomiędzy występowaniem chorób zawodowych i zaburzeń w obrębie aparatu głosowego a specjalnością, jaką reprezentują badani nauczyciele, a także zaprezentowanie wpływu zastosowania higieny głosu oraz poprawnych ćwiczeń emisyjnych na zapobieganie zaburzeniom czynnościowym narządu głosu. Metody i materiały. Metodę zbierania danych stanowiło przeszukiwanie źródeł dotyczących tematu profilaktyki zaburzeń czynnościowych narządu głosu w kontekście specyfiki pracy nauczyciela edukacji elementarnej. W artykule przeanalizowano literaturę polskich uczonych oraz odniesiono się do literatury światowej. Wyniki i wnioski. Analiza literatury przedmiotu wykazała, że ugruntowanie przez nauczyciela wiedzy na temat warunków poprawnej emisji głosu oraz systematyczne ćwiczenia oddechowe, fonacyjne i artykulacyjne są konieczne do wypracowania dobrych nawyków fonacyjnych, które determinują spadek zapadalności na przewlekłe choroby zawodowe. W aktywności dydaktycznej nauczycieli istotną rolę odgrywać będą również oddziaływania profilaktyczne w zakresie higieny głosu, minimalizujące ryzyko nawarstwiania się problemów zdrowotnych i wystąpienia groźnych chorób z nowotworami w obrębie narządu głosu włącznie.
SSTar-TransGAN: Transformer-based Unsupervised Multi-modality Hyperspectral Digital Staining Network
Authors: Wang Yukun , Gu Yanfeng
Published: December 2024

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) plays an important role in accurate cancer screening and diagnosis, the clinical application of which has been restricted by complex operation process, high costs and demand of professional skills from pathologists. Digital staining methods based on deep learning provide the possibility for Hematoxylin & Eosin (H&E) stained images to be converted into IHC stained images, but it needs to train multiple staining networks for various modalities of IHC images from different cancers, thus weakening the versatility and convenience of digital staining in the process of practical application. At the same time, microscopic hyperspectral imaging technology can provide abundant spectral information for pathological images, which has been proved effective in digital staining tasks to transform staining modalities from one to many, but microscopic hyperspectral imaging has also been troubled by time-consuming acquisition process and huge data storage. In order to overcome the above challenges, we propose SSTar-TransGAN network for digital staining tasks. With the inhabitation of StarGAN structure, SSTar-TransGAN transfers the training burden of generators into lightweight style encoders between different modalities, while in addition to the introduction of transformer structure into the encoder, the application of spectral super-resolution Swin-Spectral Transformer U-Net (SSTU) network enables the convertion from H&E stained RGB images into hyperspectral images as well, which ensure the spatial structure and color information of IHC images under multiple staining modalities and the further conversion between different staining modalities. Qualitative and quantitative experiments prove the performance of SSTar-TransGAN on digital staining tasks superior to other state-of-the-art digital staining methods.

Published: December 2024

The desulfurization and denitrification tower is the core equipment of the carbon-based catalytic multi-pollutant collaborative control technology. Its design strength ensures the pollutant removal effect and stable operation of the system. This paper used ANSYS finite element analysis software to establish a three-dimensional model of the tower and divided it into high-precision grids. Combined with actual load analysis, calculation and working condition combination, the deformation and stress distribution nephogram of the tower and the membrane stress and bending stress of each component were calculated. The strength check and stress assessment were carried out. When the calculation error is ignored, the overall design strength of the tower meets the requirements, but the stress of the local reinforced beams exceeds the limit. It is recommended to replace the steel with a higher allowable stress value.
A Comparative Analysis of Hotspots in Semiotics Theory Research in China and Abroad: A Knowledge Mapping Analysis Based on CiteSpace
Authors: Luo Shujun , Chen Xingfen
Published: December 2024

Based on literature data with "semiotics theory" as the research topic from the CNKI and WOS databases, this study employs CiteSpace software to conduct a comparative analysis of the relevant research on semiotics theory in China and abroad from 2000 to 2022. The results show that: Domestic and international research on semiotics theory exhibit a multi-centered development trend, gradually forming distinctive and complementary schools of semiotics theory. China's and abroad research focuses differently, with foreign research focusing more on applying semiotics theory in social sciences, educational research, language fields, and biological sciences. In contrast, domestic research tends to focus on introducing and studying foreign semiotics theories, with linguistics being an important research area. Both domestic and international research on semiotics theory have expanded the scope of theoretical research, forming widely applicable categories of semiotics. Hotspots in foreign research include "student";"model"; "future"; "evolution"; "information"; "framework"; "discourse"; and "construction", while hotspots in domestic research include "semiotics", "Peirce", "pragmatism", "Lotman", and "symbols". The development process of domestic and international research on semiotics theory has some differences, with each stage exhibiting different research characteristics. However, both have developed from theoretical to applied research, phenomenon to essence law research, and single-mode to multi-mode research. Domestic researchers should strengthen communication and cooperation with international counterparts, build a research community for semiotics theory, deepen research connotations, and provide more case studies as paradigms; timely summarize the current status and development patterns of domestic research on semiotics theory, and gradually form a Chinese school of semiotics with international influence.

Fundus Vascular Segmentation Based on Data Enhancement and Invariant Feature Extraction
Authors: Cheng Lei , Li Yumeng , Han Jingyi
Published: December 2024

Deep neural networks have emerged as the predominant method for medical image segmentation, owing to their robust feature learning capabilities, enabling accurate automatic segmentation of target structures within intricate medical images. Fundus images, being crucial in diagnosing ophthalmic diseases, underscore the importance of effective segmentation techniques. However, fundus vascular images pose challenges due to their high complexity and subtle individual differences, necessitating improvement in existing segmentation methodologies for enhanced disease classification accuracy. This paper introduces a fundus blood vessel segmentation model, employing data augmentation and invariant feature extraction, to systematically tackle the core challenges in medical image processing, particularly in fundus blood vessel segmentation. These challenges include limited source domain samples and inadequate model domain generalization. The model adopts a dual-dimensional strategy. Firstly, it delves into data augmentation technology to enhance the diversity and representativeness of samples within the finite source domain. This is achieved through an image enhancement module based on Fourier transform, mitigating the impact of data scarcity on model training effectiveness. Secondly, the research focuses on interdomain invariant feature extraction, aiming to extract feature representations that consistently characterize fundus blood vessel structure and pathology across different data distributions, thereby enhancing model generalization performance in unfamiliar domains. Specifically, the paper designs a fundus image enhancement module based on Fourier transform in the data augmentation dimension. In the feature extraction dimension, it proposes a normalization module based on uncertainty theory, departing from traditional normalization methods. Experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method, showcasing superior generalization performance compared to existing techniques in retinal blood vessel and OD/OC segmentation tasks. Experience validates the model-agnostic nature of the learned strategy, indicating its potential for seamless transferability to other models, thereby offering robust support for advancing medical image segmentation research and applications.

Published: December 2024

In alignment with the educational requirements for the multifaceted nature of knowledge, the comprehensiveness of skills, the adversarial nature of practice, and the specificity of thinking in cyber defense and offense capabilities, this paper adopts a student-centric pedagogical philosophy. Guided by educational theories such as constructivism, connectivism, and group dynamics, we have established a graded, flat, and flexible teaching model. This model is characterized by a progressively challenging teaching framework, the construction of contextually linked case scenarios through a flat knowledge network, the organization of a multidimensional and elastic teaching process, and the support of skill training through multimodal hybrid collaboration. It synergistically transforms the relationship between teaching and learning across four dimensions: framework structure, content arrangement, process organization, and training methods. This systematic shift has led to a significant increase in the knowledge capacity and diversity of the curriculum, an optimization of the flexibility and adaptability of teaching organization, an enhancement of students' understanding and learning capabilities, an improvement in students' comprehensive skills and practical combat effectiveness, and the stimulation of innovative thinking and specific cognitive traits.
Numerical Simulation of Fire Smoke Transport in Underground Spaces of a Pumped Storage Power Station
Authors: Liu Cun , Zhang Haoxing , Wang Ziyao , Tian Hongxin , Sun Kang , Shen Xiong
Published: December 2024

The present study employs numerical simulation to investigate the transportation of fire smoke within the underground powerhouse of a Pumped Storage Power Station. The obtained results reveal the spatial variation of fire smoke under the smoke exhaust effect inside the facility. For an 8 MW fire occurring on the generator, busbar, and turbine layer floors of the main powerhouse, recommended evacuation times are 86 seconds, 242 seconds, and 298 seconds respectively when utilizing a mechanical exhaust capacity of 85000 m3/h. In case three simultaneous fires occur at these three floor levels, the evacuation time is reduced to 45 seconds. Comparatively, when compared to situations without mechanical smoke exhaust systems, our simulations indicate that escape times for different fire scenarios were extended by only 6 seconds and 91 seconds respectively. These findings underscore the urgent need for optimizing the mechanical smoke exhaust system in order to provide valuable time for personnel evacuation during fire incidents.
