A MULTISCALE MULTIPHYSICS FINITE ELEMENT FOR LUNG
Authors: Kojić Miloš
Published: March 2024

The previously formulated finite element for lung mechanics (MSCL) by the author is extended to include airflow and molecular transport by diffusion. The lung mechanics is analyzed in detail providing an insight into the deformation of the microstructural elements. Also, some refinements are introduced with respect to the previous model. Here, the finite element is extended to incorporate airflow and convective-diffusive particulate (molecular) transport. The smeared concept (the Kojic Transport Model – KTM) is implemented with lung small airway generations considered as subdomains within the KTM. The subdomains refer to a selected number of generations according to the airway diameters. Each domain has its own volumetric fraction and transport tensor specified in terms of the airway size. The computational procedure implemented in the PAK-BIO software consists of three passes within each time step: mechanics, airflow, and diffusion. The current geometry is used for the airflow where the alveolar sacs are considered as the source terms for the last domain, according to the rate of volumetric deformation and volumetric fraction of the sacs. The pressure distribution calculated in the pass 2 is used for the convective term in the diffusion. Here, the alveolar sacs are included as the last subdomain. The new element is now termed the General Lung Finite Element (GLFE). Coupling airflow in large airways, governed by the Navier-Stokes equations, to small airways (with the Hagen-Poiseuille equations) is presented; the same coupling is given for diffusion. Numerical examples illustrate the generality of the formulated finite element.

Authors: Borate Mahesh , Deshmukh Prashant D. , Shetty Arunkumar
Published: March 2024

Liquid fuels like Furnace Oil, Light distillate oil, Diesel & gaseous fuels like PNG (Piped Natural Gas), LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) are predominantly used at present in industrial applications. Single fuel, Dual fuel & Multi-fuel options are available in the market. All these fuels are called hydrocarbon fuel. A loss of drop of oil in every second can waste about 4000 liters in a year. Selection of right type of fuel depends on various factors like availability, storage, handling, Pollution & landed cost of the fuel. These different fuels used for combustion in industrial furnace are discussed herewith. Complete combustion in industrial furnace enhances efficiency, control pollution as well as global warming. Efficient use of fuel leads to complete combustion. This paper deliberates about combustion of fuel and how complete combustion is to be achieved in industrial furnace. Stoichiometric ratio ensures complete combustion. Industrial furnace uses refractories to form a combustion chamber with proper insulation to ensure temperature within the combustion chamber is as per requirement of the job. The outside skin temperature of industrial furnace is about 35ºC to 45ºC from safety point of view. To maintain this temperature difference with minimum wall thickness needs proper refractory selection which must withstand high temperature. The main objective of this research paper is to propose strategies to select the right fuel, proper insulating material to achieve complete combustion & minimum heat losses through the walls of combustion chamber. This will help in making an efficient design and optimize combustion controls to keep heat losses at minimum level.

Motives for Choosing Higher Education at Academic Institutions in Two Countries, Syria and Israel: The Perspectives of Druze from the Golan Heights
Authors: Shams Duaa , Grinshtain Yael , Dror Yuval
Published: March 2024

The present study focuses on the perspectives of adult Druze from the Golan Heights regarding their motives for studying for a bachelor's degree in Syria and then going on for an advanced degree or internship in Israel. The study is phenomenological, based on interviews with 15 Druze students living in the Golan Heights, graduates of two academic institutions located in the two countries. The interviews were analyzed by identifying themes based on grounded theory principles. The findings indicate that the choice of higher education among the Druze is based on pragmatic considerations that emphasize higher education as an essential means of social and economic mobility alongside personal development and self-fulfillment. The choice of a specific country – Syria or Israel – is usually based on instrumental considerations that are logistical, academic, and economic. However, the choice of Syria as a specific destination is also based on a national cultural component. The study offers a look at minority education from the perspective of a unique group within Druze society and provides an understanding of minority students’ experiences as the basis for policies that support the academic choices of this population.

Authors: Seko Salfius , Soa Alfonsus Hendri , Lolita Lolita
Published: March 2024

Indigenous philosophy is the basis for customary law communities in building their community life. In order for the life of the community to run well, a value system is created to guide life that originates from religious, social, and cultural life in relation to the supernatural between humans and nature. The value system that guides the life of the indigenous Dayak community is experiencing a process of degradation. The basic and urgent problem lies in life teaching in the form of advice, advice which is summarized in traditional saying which is no longer an important teaching in society and in the family because of the influence of modernization and social institutions. It is necessary to reorient the system of values and institutions by teaching traditional proverbs. This study uses empirical legal research methods to collect data as material for research conducted, the results of data collection in the field show that proverbs are spoken languages that are often used by the Dayak community in various activities in the Dayak community, for example in traditional ceremonies, traditional meetings, customary dispute resolution, traditional marriages,  giving advice to children and so on. The forms of proverbs used depend on the activities carried out by the community, for customary deliberation activities, customary dispute resolution, traditional marriages are in the form of sayings and sayings, while for teaching and advice to children are in the form of proverbs and parables.

Authors: Nara Marianus Angi , Sudhiarsa Raymundus I Made , Yuniarto Petrus
Published: March 2024

Each culture has its unique approach to understanding the concept of safety, and the Ende-Lio culture on Flores Island, Indonesia, is no exception. In the Ende-Lio culture, the concept of salvation is known as "Du'a Ngga'e," which forms the basis of understanding life's purpose, balance with nature, and relationship with the universe. This paper focuses on understanding Du'a Ngga'e as a theological concept that emphasizes the importance of maintaining balance in human interaction with nature, gods, and ancestral spirits. This concept represents the belief that good actions and righteous ethics will ensure the safety of individuals and communities in this world and towards life after death. Therefore, Ndua Ngga'e emphasizes caring for nature, maintaining a harmonious relationship with the universe, and living with high ethics. This study illustrates how Ende-Lio cultures understand and integrate the concept of ecological theology in their daily lives. The concept of D'ua Ngga'e inspires positive action in safeguarding nature and promoting a healthy relationship between humans and the universe.

Published: March 2024

Corneal astigmatism is an issue of major concern in modern refractive cataract surgery. At least 20% to 25% cataract patients have a clinically significant amount of corneal astigmatism at preoperative evaluation. Over 90% of these have astigmatism ranging between 1.5 D to 2.5 D [1]. Residual astigmatism of more than 1.0 D after surgery can cause visual blurring and requires refractive correction with glasses [2] One popular approach to correct corneal astigmatism simultaneously during cataract surgery is by creating Limbal Relaxing Incisions (LRI) [3,4]. Another effective method is Toric IOL implantation [5].

Published: March 2024

For programmable catalysis applications, nanolaminates composed of thin alternating layers of alumina and titania (ATO) were engineered using atomic layer deposition (ALD) as the dielectric material for a Pt-on-carbon catalytic condenser. Systematic investigation assessed synthesis parameters such as deposition temperature, alumina and titania layer thicknesses, the total number of layers (and interfaces), and the presence of a capping alumina layer on the maximum achievable charge accumulation in the Pt catalyst layer. The highest capacitance ATO configuration demonstrated a specific capacitance of ~1,200 nF/cm2 with working voltages of ±5 V, enabling the storage of 4×10^13 electrons or holes per cm2 at room temperature. Adsorption of carbon monoxide on the Pt/C-ATO device characterized by grazing incidence infrared spectroscopy showed changes in the surface binding energy of 13.1 ± 0.8 kJ/mol for an applied external voltage bias of ±1 V. The results enhance our understanding of nanolaminate structures and provide a method for increasing charge condensation strength for higher temperature surface chemistries.

Despite notable progress in realizing the benefits of microgravity, the physical stability of therapeutics processed in space has not been sufficiently investigated. Environmental factors including vibration, acceleration, radiation, and temperature, if not addressed could impact the feasibility of in-space drug processing. The presented work demonstrates the successful recovery of the metastable Form III of ritonavir generated in orbit. The test samples and passive controls containing each of the anhydrous forms of ritonavir; Form I, Form II, Form III, and amorphous exhibit excellent stability. By providing a detailed experimental dataset centered on survivability, we pave the way for the future of in-space processing of medicines that enable the development of novel drug products on Earth and benefit long-duration human exploration initiatives.

A FRAMEWORK FOR TRANSFORMING CORPORATE PURPOSE INTO ORGANISATIONAL CULTURE
Authors: Marais Pepe , Schutte Flip
Published: March 2024

Purpose: One of the most powerful and talked about approaches in the management and leadership of modern business today is Organisational Purpose. When placed at the heart of strategy, it is said to increase employee engagement exponentially, resulting in the unlocking of human potential, lighting up passion and enthusiasm within people, and beating the line in financial performance through overservicing and delighting customers, by as much as 42% compared to the stock market. However, as much as Organisational Purpose is heralded as the core motivation behind the sustainable success of any organisation, 90% of these purpose-led strategies fail in implementation. The article investigates this phenomenon.
 
Theoretical Framework: This study falls within the framework where leadership and strategy implementation meet. One of the most profound gaps identified during the literature reviewed for this article is that the purpose (‘deep self’) of an organisation cannot be defined or even implemented without defining the individual purposes (‘deep self’) of its leadership, in that an organisation can only ever be as conscious as its leader.
 
Design/ methodology/ Approach: This study, therefore, sets out to create a framework that can guide leaders towards implementing corporate purpose into organisational culture through raising leadership and organisational consciousness and, in doing so, overcoming this persisting barrier to implementation. By choosing Action Design Research as the methodology for this research, the researchers co-create a potential solution with 14 Chief Executive Officers, each a market leader within their diverse industries.
 
Findings: A solution that suggests that the successful transformation of corporate purpose into organisational culture lies at the intersection of the individual purpose of each executive leader, the purpose of the organisation, and the individual purpose of each of its employees. Against the plethora of existing frameworks, which are by and large said to be unsuccessful in the face of implementation failure, the framework presented as a product of this study offers an alternative solution.
 
Research, Practical & Social Implications: A practical solution that puts the potential of people at its heart is offered as a framework for implementation.
 
Originality/Value: The framework is called: ‘The Growing Greatness Implementation Framework’. This presents a new and unique contribution to the current literature about Strategic Business Management.
Theoretical comparison analysis of R134a, R1234yf, R452A and R454C refrigerants used in automobile, trailer and commercial and industrial cooling systems
Authors: ALKAN Alpaslan
Published: March 2024

The increasing environmental disasters in recent years are caused by the release of artificial substances into the environment. The majority of artificial-containing emissions originate from petrochemical products. It also contributes to artificially containing refrigerants used in cooling systems. Artificial refrigerants have contributed greatly to the depletion of the ozone layer and subsequently to global warming. Research on new refrigerants as an alternative to refrigerants that contribute to every environmental disaster is of great importance. In this study, theoretical performance comparisons were made between R1234yf, which is an alternative to R134a refrigerant used in automobile air conditioning systems, and R452A, R454C refrigerants, which are used as alternative refrigerants in industrial, commercial and trailer cooling systems. Performance analyses were carried out according to different condenser and evaporator temperatures. Analysis results are given depending on condenser/evaporator pressure ratio, mass flow rate, compressor power, cooling effect coefficient (COP) and compressor outlet temperature. According to the study results, it was observed that the COP value increased with the increase in evaporator temperature, while the compressor inlet-outlet pressure ratio, refrigerant flow rate, compressor power and refrigerant compressor outlet temperature decreased. It was observed that the refrigerant with the highest compressor power and mass flow rate was R452A, followed by R1234yf, R454C and R134a, respectively. R134a was found to have an average of approximately 5.4%, 8.6% and 0.6% higher COP than R1234yf, R452A and R454C, respectively.
Exploring and developing diverse potentials and abilities – new perspectives
Authors: Limont Wiesława
Published: March 2024

This article presents novel approaches to exploring and developing children’s diverse potentials and abilities. Traditionally, potential has been understood as an individual’s innate endowment, primarily pertaining to intelligence, facilitating achievement. However, new perspectives encompass a broader spectrum of factors, including psychosocial aspects. This article examines two concepts. The first one is the Theory of Positive Disintegration, which focuses on the personal, emotional, and moral development of individuals. According to this theory, a strong developmental potential and its content play a crucial role in the development of personality and abilities. Gifted individuals exhibit characteristics such as heightened intensity of experiences and sensations, as well as asynchronous development. Education should embrace the unique and individualized growth of gifted individuals, with the aim of facilitating their development towards higher values and a complete personality. The second concept under examination is the Talent Development Megamodel, which focuses on domain-specific abilities. Within this framework, distinct trajectories of talent development are delineated based on an individual’s domain-specific ability and potential associated with abilities and psychosocial skills. The objective of education within the Megamodel is to foster achievements and ultimately exceptional accomplishments among the gifted.

Authors: Siti Fahimah  , M Mukhibat
Published: March 2024

This research explores the interpretation of Quran verses that mention women's role in the public sphere using a thematic approach. The study aims to synchronize these verses with resilient verses and their components, as women who dedicate themselves to the public and domestic domains require resilience. The method used is qualitative-descriptive, qualitative-descriptive namely the Analysis of the data obtained (in the form of words, images or behaviour), and not expressed in the form of numbers or statistical figures, but by providing an explanation or description of the situation or conditions studied in the form of a narrative description. It can be emphasized that descriptive qualitative is a research method that utilizes qualitative data and is described in descriptive terms. In this research, thematic interpretation is applied to identify verses related to the topic and classify them. The study reveals that the understanding of the role of women in the public sphere is from the perspective of cum Maghza, meaning that there is no division or role of patents between men and women's duties, and men and women can synergize to carry out their duties. Resilience is achieved by applying the components of resilience, including emotional regulation, desire control, optimism, causality analysis, empathy, self-efficacy, and positive achievement, along with three additional T's: Takhalli, Tahalli, and Tajalli.

Published: March 2024

The spread of LGBT is increasingly widespread on social media through various content. One content that is similar to transgender behavior is imitation content which is very popular with teenagers. This article aims to describe the perceptions of Muslim teenagers who follow gender-similar content about waria, including behavior about being waria, identity and gender roles. Informants are teenagers aged 13-18 years with the criteria of being Muslim, who have followed social media accounts that carry out gender impersonation and show active liking, sharing or commenting activities, and have followed gender impersonation accounts for at least 1 year. There were 15 informants. This research was analyzed using the Colaizi 1978 model, namely reading data repeatedly, extracting significant statements in each answer description, coding meaningful and important statements, including them in themes, describing in detail and unambiguously, identifying similarities in points of view and sublimation thematic concept, finally validating the participants. The research results have shown that informants have different perceptions regarding the behavior of being a trans woman, namely positive and negative. Positive perceptions are influenced by cultural education in each individual. Negative perceptions are influenced by religious beliefs (beliefs). Negative perceptions of transgender identities are born from religious beliefs. Positive perceptions are born from social construction. Perceptions regarding the identity of trans women are divided into perceptions originating from knowledge about the human body which tend to be negative, and perceptions originating from social construction which tend to be positive.

Penelitian ini melakukan studi literatur review artikel mengenai akseptabilitas perempuan dalam pemilu di Indonesia, dengan menganalisis sekitar n = 299 artikel dari data base Scopus pada periode terbit tahun 2004 hingga 2022. Data yang diperoleh kemudian diolah melalui aplikasi VOS Viewer sebagai alat analisis data, dengan beberapa menu utama digunakan dari VOS Viewer (visualisasi kepadatan dan overlay) sehingga diperoleh visualisasi fitur-fitur pada tema artikel terkait akseptabilitas perempuan di Indonesia. Penelitian ini memperoleh artikel-artikel yang membahas elektabilitas perempuan dalam pemilu di Indonesia cukup bervariasi meskipun tidak ada satupun yang begitu dominan, dinamika pilihan perempuan pada sejumlah artikel antara tahun 2004 hingga 2022 tidak begitu spesifik menempatkan isu pilihan perempuan dalam pemilu. penelitian mereka. Namun penelitian ini dapat menjelaskan bahwa elektabilitas perempuan dalam pemilu Indonesia masih sangat dipengaruhi oleh tuntutan kebijakan keterwakilan perempuan, identitas agama, kesenjangan gender, dan status sosial perempuan. Oleh karena itu, hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa analisis melalui tinjauan pustaka akan sangat membantu dan berkontribusi dalam menganalisis capaian kerja politik perempuan di Indonesia.

The state is an area that becomes an umbrella for the people under its auspices. Of course, in a country, a system is needed to organize society so that it is in one command line. So that the country can maintain order and order. The Indonesian state with a majority population as Muslims is an easy target for groups who want to establish a caliphate state, even though Indonesia has implemented a democratic system, because it sees the background of the Indonesian people consisting of various religions. This research method uses literature studies, namely literature studies which contain related theories that have relevant relationships with the problems studied by researchers. So from this research produces that the khilafah system cannot be applied in Indonesia. Because even though what is applied is not a caliphate system, the religious rights of the community are still respected and upheld, even being the basis in law, for example, related to marriage law and inheritance rights.

Effects of Breastfeeding Support Approach on Breastfeeding Decisions: A Quality Improvement Project
Authors: Olsen Thea
Published: March 2024

This project aims to address the clinical question of how the type of initial breastfeeding support or education provided by a lactation consultant impacts on the breastfeeding decisions and on the feeling of empowerment regarding her feeding decisions of a new mother. A training class for a cohort of International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) to teach them how to use motivational interviewing and Swanson's Theory of Caring to guide their lactation education was proposed to address this question. The mothers the IBCLCs work with will be surveyed both before and again after the training to evaluate if changing the approach they take makes mothers feel more empowered, and to measure how it influences their breastfeeding decision and satisfaction.

The anecdotal evidence that lactation consultants are becoming more rigid in the care they give, often directing mothers that exclusive breastfeeding should occur in all situations is concerning. The question, “Would a more individualized approach that allows for some amount of combination feeding be more beneficial and effective and extend the time of breastfeeding?” is explored in an attempt to provide more a more patient centered approach and to improve breastfeeding outcomes.
Evaluating the Use of ChatGPT for Parallel Programming with OpenACC
Authors: Costa Evaldo , Silva Gabriel
Published: March 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) applications are increasingly prevalent in various aspects of our daily lives. One such application is ChatGPT, which has garnered significant interest from professionals across different fields seeking to leverage AI for diverse purposes, in- cluding parallel programming. However, concerns have been raised regarding ChatGPT’s ability to generate correct and efficient code.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of ChatGPT (GPT-3.5), an advanced language model, for parallel programming using OpenACC. Parallel pro- gramming plays a crucial role in accelerating computationally intensive applications and improving overall performance. OpenACC, a parallel programming standard, enables de- velopers to harness the computational power of GPUs for application acceleration.

By conducting a series of experiments, we compare different approaches to parallel programming, with and without the assistance of ChatGPT. Key evaluation factors include execution performance, code quality, and user-friendliness.

The results suggest that integrating ChatGPT can positively impact the parallel pro- gramming process. However, limitations and challenges are identified, such as the need for proper parameter adjustment and reliance on training data utilized by ChatGPT. Sugges- tions for future research directions are provided to address the identified limitations and further enhance the integration of ChatGPT into the parallel programming workflow.
