Authors: David Ojo AKINDELE, , Thomas OGINNI, Olarewaju , Adegoke FADIJI, Ezekiel
Published: June 2024

Ekiti State is a farming region with the ability to produce biomass reserves, which include yet refined crop cultivation product leftovers like sugar cane, corn cobs, palm husk shells, and okanagan wood, for use as fuel. The vast energy-generating potential of crops for use in industry and household applications is examined in this article. Biomass crops were subjected to a thermogravimetric examination to determine their unique thermal activity in an airtight and benign atmosphere with a temperature increase of 10°C per minute up to 800°C. The decrease in weight pattern was shown to be similar across all four waste specimens. Three reactive regions were identified during the nitrogen-rich environment assessment, which correlate to water loss, flammable generation, and char breakdown. Three response domains in an air system corresponded to the degradation, burning, and drying of char. The proximate and ultimate evaluation outcomes demonstrated that each of the bioenergy crop leftovers under investigation is fit for gas extraction and fuel combustion to meet power and thermal needs. The computational and experimental analysis revealed that Okanagan wood has the highest calorific value which indicates the highest heat values and considered the best for biomass energy production in Ekiti State for entrepreneurial venture.

Authors: Kareem Rami Thamer , Abass Majid Kadhim
Published: June 2024

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) accounts for up to 60% of hospitalized patients in intensive care units and is a widespread diagnosis. Recent years have seen an increase in risk factors for it, including old age, chronic diabetes, and kidney disease (CKD). The definition of acute kidney injury (AKI), formerly known as acute renal failure, is a rapid decrease in the glomerular filtration rate. Nephrotoxicity is mainly caused by drugs and auto-immune-induced kidney injury, which is defined by immune cell infiltration in the tubulointerstitial. Interleukin-1B (IL-1B) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) are signs of kidney inflammation. Objective: Evaluate the Anti-inflammatory effect of ertugliflozin. Materials & Methods: Thirty adult male albino rats were recruited. These rats were raised in an animal house with a special commercial diet and water. After ten days of acclimatization, the selected rats were separated at random into three groups. Each experimental group consisted of ten rats. This study ran from December 18, 2023, to January 1, 2024, and was carried out in the Animal House of the College of Medicine/University of Babylon. Serum samples were taken for measuring IL-1B and TNF-α. Result: The results demonstrated that ertugliflozin provides anti-inflammatory in the treated groups. The two parameters manifest it. Conclusion: The results emphasize that ertugliflozin has an anti-inflammatory effect.

Severe acute malnutrition still constitutes a worrying public health problem today. In its complicated form, it remains a significant cause of infant mortality in our countries. Objective: To study the epidemiological-clinical and therapeutic aspects of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) complicated by anemia. Methodology: This is a retrospective descriptive study from 2019-2020 and prospective 2021 which took place at the Mali hospital. The study focused on all children aged 6 to 59 months hospitalized for severe acute malnutrition complicated by anemia. The Results: From January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021, we screened 5,676 children among whom 200 children were diagnosed with SAM complicated by anemia with a hospital frequency of 3.52%. Children under 5 years old were the most represented with 85.5% of cases. There was no predominance of sex, the ratio =1. In our study, marasmus was the majority with a rate of 88.5% followed by kwashiorkor 7% and the mixed form 4.5%. The main complications observed were dehydration, fever, severe anemia and hypoglycemia with respective rates of 27%, 16%, 13.5% and 9.5%. The patient profile had hypochromic microcytic anemia with a number of 167 or 83.5% most often linked to iron deficiency. Gastroenteritis, pneumonia, malaria, and cerebral palsy were the most frequent associated pathologies during our study with respective rates of 48.5%, 34%, 26% and 12.5%. Conclusion: At the end of our study at the Mali hospital where the investigation took place, we managed to conclude that children aged 6 to 59 months who were screened for severe acute malnutrition had severe anemia with a rate of 13.5% microcytic type to 83.5% which explains that iron deficiency was the most plausible cause and 57% of these children screened had pallor.

Published: June 2024

Background: In extrahepatic biliary carcinoma patients, unresectable disease is frequently discovered during exploration despite thorough preoperative assessment, leading to unnecessary laparotomy. Gallbladder carcinoma ranks fifth among gastrointestinal malignancies, following colorectal, pancreatic, gastric, and esophageal carcinomas. Aim of the study: The aim of the study was to establish the diagnostic usefulness of computed tomography (CT) in the diagnosis of gallbladder mass. Methods: This case-control study was conducted at the Department of Radiology and Imaging, Rajshahi Medical College Hospital, Rajshahi, Bangladesh from March 2018 to August 2018. The study included 65 patients diagnosed with a gallbladder mass, selected through purposive sampling. SPSS version 23.0 was utilized for data analysis. Results: CT scans accurately predicted various features of gallbladder mass, showing high sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy, with positive and negative predictive values of ≥95% for adenocarcinoma, squamous carcinoma, cholecystitis, metastases, GB polyp, and adenoma. Chronic cholecystitis sensitivity was over 83%. Overall, CT diagnosis performed at least 88.9% across all features. The histopathological assessment also detected nearly similar features of gallbladder mass. Conclusion: Computed tomography (CT) serves as a valuable diagnostic tool for distinguishing gallbladder neoplasms preoperatively. It is worth noting that CT scans aid in the rational management approach for patients with gallbladder neoplasms.

Published: June 2024

Most urinary tract tumors are bladder cancers, whereas NMIBCs are the most common. In NMIBC, distant metastases are extremely rare, and imaging for staging is rarely requested without warning signs, nor recommended. Nonetheless, non-muscle invasive bladder cancers can develop distant metastases without regional progression. We present a case of NMIBC with vertebral metastasis in a young man with no risk factors for bladder tumors who responded well to systemic therapy. We also discuss possible explanations for this rare occurrence.

Authors: Singla Arun
Published: June 2024

Climate change presents one of the most pressing challenges of our time, with profound implications for the economy, society, and the environment. This paper examines the economics of climate change by assessing the costs and benefits of mitigation and adaptation strategies. Through a comprehensive analysis of economic models, empirical studies, and policy evaluations, the trade-offs and opportunities associated with addressing climate change. Mitigation strategies aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to limit global warming and mitigate the impacts of climate change. These strategies include transitioning to renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, implementing carbon pricing mechanisms, and investing in low-carbon technologies. By reducing emissions, mitigation measures can help to avoid the most severe impacts of climate change, such as extreme weather events, sea-level rise, and ecosystem disruptions. However, mitigation efforts also entail costs, including upfront investments, technological challenges, and potential economic disruptions in carbon-intensive industries.

Published: June 2024

Most of the world's poor, including those in Nigeria, live in rural and agrarian settings and are engaged in agricultural practices for sustenance. Meanwhile, increasing agricultural productivity requires the adoption of modern technologies and improved farming systems, which entail considerable cost outlays for initial adoption and continued use. These costs may be out of reach for resource-poor smallholder farmers, hence the need to embrace indigenous knowledge practices (IKPs) in an agrarian economy such as Nigeria. This research examined the contribution of farmers' food security attainment efforts through the use of IKPs. Drawing on a documentary review of literature and empirical evidence, as well as data collected from 349 randomly selected smallholder farmers, the study applied descriptive statistics, a standardized food insecurity experience scale survey module, and a multivariate probit regression model to analyze the dataset. The findings revealed that almost 86% of the farmers have a strong and positive perception of the effectiveness of IKPs on agricultural production, while approximately 90% of the farmers are food insecure (those in the chronic and moderate food insecurity categories). The results also indicated that farmers’ food security status, household size vis-à-vis dependency ratio, awareness of IKPs, age of the farmers, years of farming experience, access to extension services, and frequency of visits by extension personnel significantly influenced farmers’ use of traditional farming practices, crop selection/rotation strategies, and water management techniques in the study area. Despite the farmers' use of IKPs, most of them are still largely food insecure, which raises serious concerns. Given this, the study recommends a multi-stakeholder partnership to foster synergies between the use of indigenous knowledge and modern scientific approaches by farmers, harnessing the complementary strengths of both knowledge systems to address the contemporary challenges faced by smallholder farmers in the agri-food systems.

Ukraine has a developed food complex, which is able not only to fully provide the country's population with food products, but also to form an active position of the country in the international markets of a number of key agro-food products. Thanks to traditionally strong food exports, Ukraine is one of the guarantors of food security in the world. Before the full-scale war, in terms of export volume, Ukraine was among the five largest grain exporters in the world, exported ¾ of what it produced, domestic consumption of grain was only 20-25%. Ukraine supplied 10% of world exports of wheat, more than 14% of corn and more than 47% of sunflower oil [1]. Currently, thanks to the help of partners, Ukraine remains a key supplier on the world markets of grain and sunflower oil, with a share of more than 10% of international trade. In 2023, 16.1 million tons of wheat were exported to 65 countries, 26.2 million tons of corn to 80 countries, and 5.7 million tons of sunflower oil to 130 countries [2]. At the same time, the military actions taking place in Ukraine as a result of the large-scale aggression of the Russian Federation on February 24, 2022, led to the deterioration of food security in Ukraine, which is caused, in particular, by broken logistics chains, destroyed infrastructure, farms and productions, a decrease in the amount of food produced at working enterprises.

Authors:   ZVO ", Samofalova M. ,   Open International University of Human Development ",   Ukraine"
Published: June 2024

The article investigates and substantiates the theoretical aspects of the essence of competitiveness and the study of internal and external environment factors that affect the competitiveness of an enterprise in market conditions. On the basis of theoretical studies, the author summarizes some of the author's definitions of the concept of “enterprise competitiveness”. It has been determined that the competitiveness of enterprise is characterized by its ability and efficiency to adapt to the conditions of the competitive environment. The features that characterize the competitiveness of an enterprise include: comparability, spatiality, dynamism, objectivity, attributability, systematicity, objectivity. Observance of these characteristics is a prerequisite for conducting analytical research, a key to solving problems and achieving the company's goals. It is proposed to use the modified classification of factors of competitiveness of a firm proposed by O. Kuzmin, which provides for the allocation of the following criterion (integral) groups of factors: environment of the firm's functioning; substantive characteristics; level of regulation of factors. The environmental factors are reasonably divided into direct factors that have a direct impact on competitiveness and indirect factors that have an indirect impact through direct factors. An analysis of the impact of external and internal factors on the company's competitiveness helps to reduce uncertainty and risks in the company's production and sales process, improve the quality of strategic planning and forecasting of the company's production and sales activities, increase the competitiveness of the company and its products, maintain the company's competitive position and increase its market share. The importance of certain substantive factors of competitiveness may vary depending on a number of objective factors, such as the purchasing power of the population, changes in regulation and taxation, market conditions, etc.

The article considers the calculation of second-order non-linear forces and moments for various isolated types of ship motions based on the application of two-dimensional potential theory. The calculation results of non-linear forces and moments are given for the corresponding types of ship motions using classical and modified methods of integral equations for fluid of both infinite depth and in shallow waters. The calculation results obtained using modified methods are compared with the calculation results obtained by classical methods. Most of the time, calculation yields a satisfying result. An investigation of the heel angle influence for the various types of frame sections on the values of second-order non-linear forces and moments is shown. The conclusion is made about the expediency of further use of the modified method of integral equations in shallow water conditions when determining nonlinear forces and moments acting on heeled contours.
Determination of the main elements of a two-phase flow pulsator for flushing ship systems
Authors: Лебедева Е.Г.
Published: June 2024

В статье рассмотрена конструкция и определены основные элементы пульсатора, одновременно являющимся и смесителем, предназначенного для создания устойчивого течения двухфазного потока. Пульсатор-смеситель применяется в качестве элемента смешения, создающего пульсацию в смешанном двухфазном потоке. Такой поток используется для повышения результативности промывки судовых систем, увеличивающих ее качество и сокращающее сроки промывки. Проблема данного вида промывки состоит в расслоении смешанного потока на фазы с течением времени. Для получения хорошего результата промывки двухфазным потоком необходимо создать устойчивость такого потока за счет возбуждения в нем пульсационных колебаний. Пульсирующие колебания в потоке связаны с особенностями конструкции смесителя. Собственная частота колебаний пульсатора или диффузорной части смесителя совпадает с частотой колебаний пузырьков газа (воздуха) в потоке воды. Явление резонанса в потоке смеси провоцирует создание пузырьков определенного диаметра, обладающих повышенной адгезионной способностью по отношению к частицам технологических загрязнений. Колебательный процесс в потоке жидкости распространяется на значительные расстояния. Явление резонанса разбивает более крупные пузырьки воздуха на мелкие, не позволяет им сливаться и расслаиваться потоку. Такой пульсирующий смешанный поток можно применять в качестве промывочного не только для промывки судового оборудования, но и для промывки протяженных и разветвленных судовых систем.

The article considers the design and defines the main elements of the pulsator, which is also a mixer designed to create a stable flow of a two-phase flow. A pulsator mixer is used as a mixing element that creates pulsation in a mixed two-phase flow. Such a flow is used to improve the efficiency of flushing shipboard systems, increasing its quality and reducing the time of flushing. The problem with this type of flushing is the stratification of the mixed flow into phases over time. To obtain a good result of flushing with a two-phase flow, it is necessary to create stability of such a flow by exciting pulsation vibrations in it. Pulsating fluctuations in the flow are associated with the design features of the mixer. The natural oscillation frequency of the pulsator or the diffuser part of the mixer coincides with the oscillation frequency of gas (air) bubbles in the water stream. The phenomenon of resonance in the flow of the mixture provokes the creation of bubbles of a certain diameter with increased adhesive ability with respect to particles of technological contaminants. The oscillatory process in the fluid flow extends over considerable distances. The resonance phenomenon breaks larger air bubbles into small ones, preventing them from merging and delaminating the flow. Such a pulsating mixed flow can be used as a flushing not only for flushing marine equipment, but also for flushing extended and branched ship systems.

Статья посвящена разработке методики интеллектуальной диагностики судовых двигателей, который позволит объединить имеющиеся знания о судовых двигателях и передовые методы анализа данных. В статье рассмотрены особенности проведения интеллектуальной диагностики судового двигателя на базе инструментария нейронных сетей и генетического алгоритма. Основу методики составляет процедура распознавания «диагностического портрета» судового двигателя с использованием акустического и вибрационного сигнала. В процессе исследования были протестированы различные генетические алгоритмы на примере диагностики элементов судового двигателя. В рамках исследования предложен модифицированный генетический алгоритм, который даст возможность обеспечить повышение точности, надежности и быстродействия получения диагностических параметров. Основная идея этой сети заключается в применении вейвлет-нейрона вместо традиционного нейрона, а затем в разложении сигнала путем анализа вейвлета с несколькими разрешениями. вейвлет-нейронная сеть сочетает в себе хорошую способность вейвлет-преобразования к локализации времени-частоты, а также имеет значительный потенциал для самообучения. Для анализа эффективности предложенного алгоритма рассмотрены изменения значения пригодности и изменения квадратичной ошибки. Кривая изменения значения пригодности отражает рост эволюционной алгебры, колебания уровня пригодности популяции, а квадратичная ошибка отражает оптимизацию весов и порогов с увеличением генетического поколения.

The article is devoted to the development of a methodology for intelligent diagnostics of ship engines, which will combine existing knowledge about ship engines and advanced methods of data analysis. The article discusses the features of carrying out intelligent diagnostics of a marine engine based on neural network tools and a genetic algorithm. The method is based on the procedure for recognizing the "diagnostic portrait" of a marine engine using an acoustic and vibration signal. In the course of the study, various genetic algorithms were tested on the example of diagnosing ship engine elements. As part of the study, a modified genetic algorithm is proposed, which will provide an opportunity to improve the accuracy, reliability and speed of obtaining diagnostic parameters. The main idea of this network is to use a wavelet neuron instead of a traditional neuron and then decompose the signal by analyzing the wavelet with multiple resolutions. The wavelet neural network combines the good ability of the wavelet transform to time-frequency localization, and also has a significant potential for self-learning. To analyze the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, changes in the fitness value and changes in the quadratic error are considered. The fitness value change curve reflects the growth of evolutionary algebra, population fitness fluctuations, and the squared error reflects the optimization of weights and thresholds with increasing genetic generation.

Целью настоящего исследования является изучение вопроса оптимизации циклов объектов морского технологического комплекса. В статье приведены результаты анализа стандартов, на основе которых осуществляется формирование новых проектных изделий в рамках морского технологического комплекса, в который входят и безэкипажные суда, и беспилотные необитаемые аппараты. В работе рассмотрены проблемные аспекты, с которыми сталкиваются разработчики в виду динамичного технологического развития и не соответствия ему действующих регламентов. В работе приведен пример математической модели активно применяемой экспертной системы, адаптированной под морской технологический комплекс, которая, тем не менее, не позволяет однозначно решить описанную проблему. Так же авторами предложен иной математический метод, который способен дать оценку проектным циклам, и на основе которого можно осуществить переосмысление существующих стандартов с учетом современного технологического развития. Указанный метод основан на расчете безотказности системы и сбора статистических данных, которые можно осуществлять, например, при тестировании опытных образцов на стенде или в реальных условиях до внедрения или серийного производства. Таким образом, можно судить, например, об упразднении части документации или необходимости внедрения специального программного обеспечения и закрепления данного факта на регламентирующем уровне.

The purpose of this article is to study the issue of optimizing the cycles of offshore technological complex facilities. The article presents the results of the analysis of standards, on the basis of which the formation of new design products is carried out within the framework of the marine technological complex, which includes both unmanned vessels and unmanned unmanned vehicles. The paper considers the problematic aspects that developers face in view of the dynamic technological development and the inconsistency of existing regulations with it. The paper gives an example of a mathematical model of an actively used expert system adapted for a marine technological complex, which, however, does not allow unambiguously solving the described problem. The authors also proposed a different mathematical method that is able to evaluate project cycles and on the basis of which it is possible to rethink existing standards, taking into account modern technological development. This method is based on the calculation of the reliability of the system and the collection of statistical data, which can be carried out, for example, when testing prototypes on a stand or in real conditions before implementation or mass production. Thus, it can be concluded, for example, that a part of the documentation has been abolished or that it is necessary to introduce special software and fix this fact at the regulatory level.

На основе трехмерных уравнений Навье – Стокса для вязкой несжимаемой жидкости произведено сопоставление гидростатического давления и давления вызываемого движением жидкости на глубине. Рассмотрены два варианта точных решений уравнений Навье – Стокса для случая неустановившегося движения в большом резервуаре, когда влиянием ограничивающих поверхностей можно пренебречь. Во всей области движения выявлены пять различных типов зон распределения давления. Для зоны первого типа давление значительно превышает гидростатическое. Для зоны второго типа имеет место превышение давления по сравнению с гидростатическим. Для зоны третьего типа давление близко к гидростатическому. Для зоны четвертого типа эффективное давление отличается от гидростатического в меньшую сторону за счет глубоководного движения. Для зоны пятого типа имеет место значительное уменьшение эффективного давления по сравнению с гидростатическим за счет глубоководного движения. Получены соотношения, позволяющие определять расположение каждой зоны в произвольный момент времени.

Based on 3D Navier – Stokes equations for a viscous incompressible fluid a comparison was made between hydrostatic pressure and pressure caused by fluid movement at depth. We consider two variants of exact solutions of Navier – Stokes equations for case of unsteady motion in a large tank when the influence of bounding surfaces can be neglected. Five different types of pressure distribution zones are identified throughout the entire movement area. For the first type zone the pressure significantly exceeds hydrostatic pressure. For the second type zone there is an excess of pressure compared to hydrostatic pressure. For the third type zone the pressure is close to hydrostatic. For the fourth type zone effective pressure differs from hydrostatic pressure to a lesser extent due to deep-sea movement. For the fifth type zone there is a significant decrease in effective pressure from hydrostatic due to deep-sea movement. Relationships have been obtained that make possible to determine the location of each zone at an arbitrary point in time.

Published: June 2024

The use of autologous cartilage and bone grafts remains the gold standard in augmentation rhinoplasty performed to reconstruct of the nasal dorsum. Meanwhile, limited number of available sources, donor site morbidity, and unpredictable graft resorption represent significant disadvantages of autografting. The aim of this study is to test combination of autologous stromal vascular fraction (SVF) and commercially available bone substitutes (BSs) as new tissue-engineered grafting material (GM) for rhinoplasty. A series of consecutive cases includes four adult patients who underwent rhinoplasty to correct saddle nose deformity (SND) using the new graft technique. SVF was isolated from liposuction aspirate using standard methodology of enzymatic digestion. Two types of BSs were combined with SVF: Bio-Oss granules to create a moldable graft (M-graft), and block-shaped BoneMedik-S to create rigid grafts (R-grafts). The moderate SND was treated using an M-graft. In case of major or complex SND, the nasal dorsum was reconstructed with dorso-columellar L-shaped framework made of R-grafts. The results were evaluated over a period of 6 months to 3 years postoperatively using photogrammetry and FACE-Q appearance appraisal scales. Computerised tomography (CT) scanning of the reconstructed nose and histological analysis of grafted material were also carried out. No complications were observed. The photograms show the restoration of the correct contour of the nose. FACE-Q appraisal scale scores increased significantly, including satisfaction with nose appearance, psychological well-being, and social function. In CT evaluation, there was no substantial resorption or warping of the grafts. Histological findings show osteogenic remodeling of the grafted material. Thus, combining autologous SVF with BSs is a promising strategy for developing rhinoplasty GM.
