Magnetic Field Effects on Second-Grade Non-Newtonian Ferrofluids Flow Over Stretching Surfaces
Authors: Hussain Dilawar , Arain Muhammad Bilal
Published: October 2024

The current article aims to investigate how the flow of ferromagnetic non-Newtonian fluid is affected by elastic deformation when an external magnetic field is present on a stretching sheet. To achieve this target, we have converted the governing Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) into Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) by using suitable similarity transformations. The role of pertinent flow parameters like second-grade fluid parameters, the coefficient of elastic deformation, Prandtl number, and viscoelastic parameters on velocity, pressure, and temperature profiles are drawn pictorially and discussed in detail. Computations for skin friction number and local Nusselt number are also discussed graphically. Some highlights of the findings in terms of the influences of different parameters on velocity, temperature, and pressure profiles are given, and concluded that by raising the values of the second-grade parameter (K) and Ferrohydrodynamic interaction parameter (β) the velocity profiles raise. The velocity profile decreases by increasing the value of the Prandtl number Pr.  Increasing the Prandtl number results in a significant decrease in temperature profiles. Also, the pressure increases with higher values of β and Pr. The findings from this research could be utilized in the development of advanced cooling systems for electronics, as well as optimization of processing magnetic materials in which better efficiency and quality of products can be reached by controlling the flow of ferromagnetic fluid under magnetic fields.

Authors: Afrida Elli , Saragih Magdalena , Rahman Abdul
Published: October 2024

Deficiency of both macro- and micronutrients can disrupt the plant's metabolic processes and cause a decrease in maize yields. The aims of this study were: (1) to determine the effect of removing one of these macro-micro nutrients on maize growth and yield, (2) to identify the relationship between the growth and yield of maize due to nutrient omission techniques, and (3) to investigate the nutrient sequence, which is the most important limiting factor for maize yield. This study was conducted in farmers' fields in Medan Selayang, North Sumatra, Indonesia, from May to September 2023. Nutrient omission techniques were conducted based on the nutrient requirements of maize plants. This study was based on a Completely Randomized Block Design with a single factor, namely the removal of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Mn, Zn, Fe, and Cu nutrients. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and were tested by DMRT at P<0.05, then correlation was analyzed. The results showed that the inhibition of maize growth and their yields ranged from 29.44-66.03% and 20.11-49.18%, respectively, due to the absence of nitrogen fertilization. The productivity of maize plants was highly influenced by leaf area, total chlorophyll, root length, root volume, and shoot and root dry weight. The sequence of nutrient requirements that became essential limiting factors in promoting the productivity of maize plants was N < K < S < Ca < Fe < P < Zn < Mg < Mn < Cu.

Authors: Janiak Rich
Published: October 2024

Many previous educational reform efforts have ultimately failed to meet initial expectations. One critical factor, easily over-looked in the reform process, is teacher attitude. Using attitude theory and research on teacher attitudes, instruments were developed to measure teacher attitudes toward the Blueprint 2000 student performance standards and student assessment procedures. A sample of 138 teachers completed a survey measuring attitudes toward Goal 3 standards and type of assessment. Teachers rated the standards as being important instructional objectives, and a moderate correlation between attitude toward performance based assessment and attitude toward Goal 3 standards was observed. Implications are discussed.
Friedrich August von Hayek'in Piyasa Ahlak Anlayışı
Authors: Mazmanoğlu Selim
Published: October 2024

Hayek’in iktisadi görüşleri, serbest piyasa ekonomisinden yana olmakla birlikte klasik liberal tezdenfarklılıklar da içerir. Ona göre temel iktisadi mesele, her bireyin sahip olduğu iktisadi bilgiyi etkinbiçimde kullanma meselesidir. Piyasanın denge sağlamaktan ziyade bilgiyi aktarma işlevi vardır,çünkü piyasa mekanizmasının oluşması evrimsel bir süreçtir ve toplum içinde dağınık olarak varlığınısürdüren bilgi ancak piyasa mekanizması aracılığıyla koordine olmakta ve kişilere daha fazla bilgiedinme fırsatı yaratmaktadır. Böyle bir mekanizmada insana değin tüm gelişmeler kendiliğinden yanispontane bir biçimde gerçekleşmektedir. Piyasa bir tür zenginlik yaratma oyunudur ve piyasadüzeninde oyuncuların çoğunun birbirinden haberi olmadığından, ileri düzeyde gelişmiş bir iletişimsistemine ihtiyaç vardır; ona göre bu iletişim ağını sağlayan fiyatlardır. Fiyatlar bilginin iletilmesinisağlarlar. Birbirinden bağımsız olarak, kendi tercih hakkını kullanan ve kendilerini gerçekleştirmefırsatı verilen bireyler sayesinde, toplumdaki karmaşık ilişkiler ağı ve sayısız bağlantı kendiliğindenoluşur. Toplumda arzu edilen refah düzeyine ancak bu şekilde ulaşılabilir. Buna karşın, döneminrevaçta olan, merkezi otorite planlamacılığına dayanan ve bireyselciliği yok sayan denetimden uzakyönetim mekanizmaları, uygulama sürecinde zaman içerisinde başlangıçta vaad etmiş oldukları herkesiçin eşit imkanları sağlama amaçlarından saparak adaletsiz ve totaliter bir sisteme evrilebilmekte hattaözgür bireyi yok sayan bir kölelik sistemine, yozlaşmış bir toplum yapısına dönüşülmesine yolaçabilmektedirler. Planlamacılık mikro ölçekte olmalı ve herkes adına merkezi otorite tarafından kararverilmesinden kaçınılmalıdır, bunun zaten evrimsel olarak doğal gelişen bir sürecin hesaplanarakplanlanmaya çalışılması anlamına geleceği için kaynakların verimsiz kullanılması ve sağlıksız birbilgi-fiyat-piyasa oluşumuna yol açacağı aşikardır. Bireylerin eşit bir biçimde kendilerinigerçekleştirebilmeleri için en uygun kamu politikaları setleri uygulanmalı ve devlet sadecedüzenleyici, etkin ve adil rekabeti sağlayıcı şekilde denklemin içerisinde yer almalıdır. Tersine,kitlelere belli görüş ve eylemleri empoze etmeye çalışmak niyetiyle uygulanan politikaların enindesonunda ekonomik ve toplumsal olarak başarısız olması ve bir çöküş getirmesi kaçınılmazdır, çünküpiyasa insan tarafından bilinçli olarak oluşturulmadığı için hiç bir amaç içermeyendir, bir kozmos’tur,bir örgütleyicinin bilgi ve amaçları sonucunda ortaya çıkan bir organizasyon ya da örgüt gibi birdüzen(taxis) değildir. Bir kozmos'da bireysel eyleme rehberlik eden gerçekler ve amaçların bilgisieylemi gerçekleştiren bireylere aitken bir taxis’te ise sadece örgütleyiciye ait olduğundan, tasarlanmışbir organizasyondaki bilgi kendiliğinden oluşan düzendeki bilgiden daha sınırlı olmaktadır.Kendiliğinden düzeni oluşturan bireysel davranış kuralları düzene zarar vermeksizin herkesinkullanabileceği gücü de azaltacağından, daha eşitlikçi fırsatlar yaratan ve daha adil bir piyasayaratılmış olacaktır.

Authors: Alarcón Osorio Daniel
Published: October 2024

The research focused on the difficulties in reading comprehension and writing competence among students enrolled in Communication and Language I and II courses at the University of San Carlos of Guatemala. The growing influence of audiovisual media on literate culture has led to a deterioration in reading skills, a phenomenon analyzed under the concepts of "intellicide" and "neo-illiteracy." The objective was to identify the causes of these deficiencies and propose effective solutions through Alfred North Whitehead's action-research model. Techniques such as participant observation, worksheets, and logs were used, applied in a synchronous class environment. The results indicate an improvement in reading comprehension following the implementation of specific strategies, which led to the creation of an exercise workbook that facilitates processes such as pre-reading, re-reading, and contextualization. It is concluded that the integration of these pedagogical tools is crucial for mitigating reading deficiencies in university settings, and a broader adoption in other institutions is recommended.

Adopting security intelligence is a complex process that presents both significant challenges and potential benefits. Among the main obstacles, the need to invest in advanced technology and the training of specialized professionals stands out. Integrating artificial intelligence and big data analysis systems requires substantial financial resources and robust infrastructure, which can be a barrier for smaller organizations or those with a limited budget. Another challenge is cultural resistance within companies. The implementation of new technologies is often met with resistance from employees, who may fear changes to their work processes or even the loss of their jobs. Additionally, cybersecurity is constantly evolving, requiring organizations to quickly adapt to new threats, which can be an arduous and ongoing process. On the other hand, the benefits of security intelligence are notable. The ability to predict and identify threats in real time allows for a faster and more effective response, minimizing potential damage. Security intelligence also improves operational efficiency by automating repetitive tasks and freeing up human resources for more strategic activities. Additionally, predictive analytics can provide valuable insights for decision-making, helping companies anticipate potential attacks and develop more effective mitigation strategies. So, despite significant challenges, adopting security intelligence offers substantial benefits that can transform the way organizations protect their data and infrastructure. Successful implementation depends on a balance between technological investments, personnel training and overcoming internal resistance, aiming to create a more robust and proactive security environment.

"دور القيادة التربوية في تطوير البيئة الداعمة للموهبة والإبداع"
Authors: عطاري سناء
Published: October 2024

تتميز فلسفة التربية الحديثة بالتركيز على تعليم التفكير؛ التفكير الناقد، التفكير الإبداعي، وتفكير حل المشكلات، أي التفكير الذي يتطلب المهارات العقلية العليا. وقد أثبتت الدراسات أن الأطفال يولدون ولديهم قدرات إبداعية كامنة، وتظهر هذه القدرات في السنين الأولى من عمر الطفل في محاولاته الدائمة للاستكشاف، وطرحه الدائم للأسئلة. ومهارات التفكير العليا كالتفكير الإبداعي يلزمها البيئة المناسبة المساندة لكي تظهر وتنمو، ويتحمل مسؤولية ذلك الأسرة والروضة والمدرسة والمسئولون في المؤسسات التربوية التعليمية المختلفة. وتبين هذه الورقة أهمية دور القيادة التربوية في تطوير البيئة الداعمة للموهوبين والمبدعين في إطار المؤسسة التربوية، وتطرح نموذجا خاصاً لهذه القيادة التربوية، التي تشجع على الإبداع وتمتلك الخبرة في التخطيط ومتابعة التنفيذ، وكذلك تمتلك الصلاحيات، وتستثمر طاقات ومعارف العاملين فيها من أجل تحقيق أهدافها في تطوير البيئة الداعمة للموهوبين.
وإذا كان لا يمكننا تعليم التفكير لأنه مرتبط بالذكاء المرتبط بالجينات، فإننا نستطيع أن نعلم مهارات التفكير. ويعرف تعليم التفكير بأنه تزويد الطلبة بالفرص الملائمة لممارسة نشاطات التفكير في مستوياتها البسيطة والمعقدة، وحفزهم وإثارتهم على التفكير. وهي عملية كلية تتأثر بالمناخ الصفي والمدرسي وكفاءة المعلم وتوافر المصادر التعليمية المثيرة للتفكير.
An Overview of Strengthening Concrete Members with Textile Reinforced Mortar
Authors: F Mahmood Hersh , Abdrahman Ahmad Soran
Published: October 2024

Textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) or fabric-reinforced concrete has a wide range of applications, including repair work, structural strengthening, ditch lining, erosion control, pipe protection, trackways, flood defenses, roofing, and emergency helicopter landing pads. This paper focuses specifically on structural strengthening, particularly shear strengthening and jacketing. According to the findings, among the materials considered, benzobisoxazole (PBO) proves to be the most effective, enhancing the shear capacity of the members by 43.3%, followed by carbon, basalt, and glass fibers. When using fixed materials for strengthening, a U-shaped configuration is more effective than an S-shaped one, increasing shear capacity by 131% compared to 71% for the S-shape. The results also show that increasing the number of textile layers during the strengthening process boosts the shear capacity of the element. Applying the textile layers directly in a straight pattern provides higher capacity than a spiral application. Furthermore, using epoxy resin as a mortar for TRM results in a greater load capacity for column strengthening. A column strengthened with two layers of textiles had more capacity than one with just a single layer. Additionally, when the mortar contains a cementitious material modified with polymer, the flexural capacity is 5.3% higher than that of textiles using cement alone as the mortar.

Materials and Methods: In this study, seventy two (72) peripheral Blood samples were taken from the breast cancer ladies from Marjan Hospital's at Oncology Center in Babylon city's who had previously received a confirmatory diagnosis of breast cancer with ten (10) blood samples from clinically healthy women as a control group during the period from June 2022 to January 2023, DNA samples were isolated from the collected blood samples by DNA Extraction kit (FavorPrepTM Blood/Cultured Cells Genomic DNA Extraction Mini Kit), then, conventional PCR technique was performed with specific oligo primers to amplify the Her2 gene's target sequence in those DNA samples, then, agarose gel electrophoresis was applied for detecting the target sequence in the DNA products with the band size 150bp.
Results: 58 / 72(80.5 %) of the DNA samples were positive and 14/ 72 (19. 5%) were negative for Her2 gene in the peripheral blood samples of the breast cancer women.
Conclusions: in conclusion the current study's results demonstrated that 58/ 72 (80.5%) of the peripheral blood samples from breast cancer women were positive and the remaining 14/ 72(19.5%) of the peripheral blood samples were negative for Her-2 gene, “HER2 gene” can be considered as a useful biomarker and an obvious indicator for breast cancer which could be employed for early and confirmatory diagnosis of breast cancer in women.
Compassion as a Cornerstone: Why Caring Leadership Elicits the Best from Others
Authors: Westover Jonathan
Published: October 2024

This article explores why compassion is a more effective managerial approach than toughness for eliciting peak performance from employees, defining compassionate leadership as treating people with dignity and respect, fostering belongingness, support for growth, and care through difficult times, and establishes a research foundation demonstrating how compassion activates reward pathways in the brain and positively impacts employee engagement, commitment, performance and resilience, drawing from over 130 leadership studies correlating compassion most strongly with inspiring followership and findings that even the perception of compassion from leaders boosts job attitudes, then presents two case studies, the first examining how Marriott Hotels exemplified responding to COVID-19 challenges with caring communications that bolstered morale and satisfaction, and the second profiling how Buffer fosters autonomy through transparent problem-solving, flexible schedules and unlimited paid time off, overall arguing compassion cultivates discretionary effort by fulfilling innate human needs for connection, autonomy and contribution, and signaling stability and hope in unpredictable times to steer organizations to sustainable success through empowered and committed employees performing at their peak.

Afghanistan, characterized by an extremely arid and semi-arid climate, stands as one of the world's sixth most climate-vulnerable countries. A staggering 36% of the Afghan population lives below the poverty line, with approximately 80% engaged in the agriculture and livestock sector. Over the years, the average annual temperature in Afghanistan has surged by approximately 1.8 degrees Celsius, accompanied by a decrease in average annual precipitation. Looking ahead, climate projections paint a worrisome picture, with an anticipated 6–7 Degree Celsius increase in the average temperature over Afghanistan by 2100. This high dependence on agriculture and low economy, renders Afghanistan exceptionally susceptible to the current and anticipated impacts of climate change. In response to these challenges, adaptation to climate change emerges as an immediate and critical priority. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, a comprehensive program is slated to be designed and implemented, particular focus on the vulnerable agriculture sector.

Environmental health and human health are intertwined. Human activities and natural disasters can discharge pollutants or disease-causing germs into the environment, which can have an impact on a community's water, food, and air quality, as well as the lives of the local populace. Dental hygienists (DHs) and other oral health care (OHC) professionals utilize enormous quantities of resources in their everyday clinical operations, which adds to the burden of global pollution and climate change. Climate change's effects on dental health are quite important. Numerous negative consequences, including the onset of epidemics, deforestation, coastal floods, and other tragedies, have been brought about by climate change. The effects of climate change on the general health of people living in a certain geographic area are directly related to each other. Upgrading healthcare facilities and funding for research can help in the coordinated effort to understand these modifying elements in order to effectively address the health burden resulting from climate change. These initiatives will guarantee optimal oral health and allow for sustainable development.
Sensitivity to visual features in inattentional blindness

The relation between attention, perception and awareness is among the most fundamental problems in the science of the mind. One of the most striking and well-known phenomena bearing on this question is
inattentional blindness
(IB; Neisser & Becklen, 1975; Mack & Rock, 1998; Most et al., 2001, 2005). In IB, naïve observers fail to report clearly visible stimuli when their attention is otherwise engaged—famously even missing a gorilla parading before their eyes (Simons & Chabris, 1999). This phenomenon and the research programs it has motivated carry tremendous theoretical significance, both as crucial evidence that awareness requires attention (Cohen et al., 2012; Prinz, 2012; Noah & Mangun, 2020) and as a key tool in seeking the neural correlates of consciousness (Rees et al., 1999; Pitts et al., 2014; Hutchinson, 2019). However, these and other implications critically rest on a notoriously biased measure: asking participants whether they noticed anything unusual (and interpreting negative answers as reflecting a complete lack of perception). Here, in the largest ever set of IB studies, we show that, as a group, inattentionally blind participants can successfully report the location, color and shape of the stimuli they deny noticing. This residual visual sensitivity shows that perceptual information remains accessible in IB. We further show that subjective reports in IB are conservative, by introducing absent trials where no IB stimulus is presented; this approach allows us to show for the first time that observers collectively show a systematic bias to report not noticing in IB—essentially ‘playing it safe’ in reporting their sensitivity. This pair of results is consistent with an alternative hypothesis about IB, namely that inattentionally blind subjects retain some degree of awareness of the stimuli they fail to report. Overall, these data provide the strongest evidence to date of significant residual visual sensitivity in IB. They also challenge the use of inattentional blindness to argue that awareness requires attention.

Metabolic pathways are remodeled in response to energy and other homeostatic demands and are dynamically regulated during embryonic development, suggestive of a role in guiding cellular differentiation. Here, we show that glycolytic flux is required and sufficient to bias multipotent retinal progenitor cells (RPCs) to acquire a rod photoreceptor fate in the murine retina. In an RPC-specific conditional knock-out of
Phosphatase and tensin homolog
(
Pten-
cKO) and in an RPC-specific conditional gain-of-function of dominant active
PFKB3
(cyto
PFKB3
), glycolytic gene expression and activity are elevated, correlating with precocious rod photoreceptor differentiation and outer segment maturation. Conversely, glycolytic inhibition in retinal explants, achieved either with 2-deoxy-d-glucose, a competitive inhibitor of glucose metabolism, by lowering media pH, which disables PKM2, a rate-limiting enzyme, or by inhibiting lactate/H
+
symporters, which lowers intracellular pH, suppresses RPC proliferation and photoreceptor differentiation. Mechanistically, we show that Wnt signaling, the top-upregulated pathway in
Pten-
cKO retinas, is a glycolysis-dependent pathway. Pharmacological and genetic perturbation of Wnt signaling using a
Ctnnb1-
cKO phenocopies glycolytic inhibition, suppressing RPC proliferation, photoreceptor differentiation and outer segment maturation. Thus, developmental rewiring of glycolytic flux modulates Wnt signaling to drive rod photoreceptor differentiation and maturation, an instructive role that may be exploited therapeutically for cell replacement strategies.

Published: October 2024

Psoriasis is a multifactorial immune-mediated inflammatory disease. Its pathogenesis involves abnormal accumulation of neutrophils and T-cell-related abnormalities. Pyroptosis is a type of regulated cell death associated with innate immunity, but its role in psoriasis is unclear. In this study, we found that gasdermin D (GSDMD) is higher in human psoriatic skin than that in normal skin, and in imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like mouse skin, the expression of Gsdmd was most significantly altered in neutrophils and Il1b was also mainly expressed in neutrophils. Immunohistochemical staining of serial sections of skin lesions from psoriasis patients and healthy control also showed that GSDMD expression is higher in psoriasis lesion, especially in neutrophils. Gsdmd deficiency mitigates psoriasis-like inflammation in mice. GSDMD in neutrophils contributes to psoriasis-like inflammation, while Gsdmd depletion in neutrophils attenuates the development of skin inflammation in psoriasis and reduces the release of the inflammatory cytokines. We found that neutrophil pyroptosis is involved in and contributes to psoriasis inflammation, which provides new insights into the treatment of psoriasis by targeting neutrophil pyroptosis.
