The relationship between air pollution and cardiovascular diseases in Türkiye
Authors: Ekinci Gülay
Published: November 2023

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of air pollutant particles on the cardiovascular disease burden (CVDALY) in Turkey. Particulate Matter 2.5 (PM 2.5) and Non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOC) were taken as the independent variable and CVDALY as the dependent variable. The variables were analyzed within the Panel Data Analysis and Machine Learning Approaches frame. Unidirectional Granger causality was determined from PM 2.5-NMVOC to CVDALY and revealed that they acted together in the long term. The regression analysis that was made using econometric and multivariate regression models revealed that generally 1 unit increase in PM 2.5 increased CVDALY by between 0.0021-0.0029 units; 1 unit increase in NMVOC increased CVDALY by between 0.00024-0.0004 units. In Machine Learning approach, it had been determined that if the PM 2.5 and NMVOC were reduced to 0.84- and 9.48 respectively; CVDALY would be decreased to 0.022. In other words, Machine Learning approaches results showed that reducing PM 2.5 by about 4.5 times and NMVOC by about 30% would be reduced CVDALY by about 39.6% from the current status of Turkey. The empirical results showed that PM 2.5 - NMVOC increased CVDALY in Turkey. From this perspective establishing and implementing policies to improve air quality in Turkey could be an important approach in reducing cardiovascular diseases.

Published: November 2023

Renewable energy sources require effective energy management systems to be efficient in smart grids. Although electric vehicles are all potential consumers, using electric vehicle batteries is an effective utilisation strategy for smart grids. Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) is a crucial future technology for the smart grid. V2G technology proposes employing electric vehicles to contribute the stored energy to the other intelligent grid users. Expansion of the V2G technology is possible by funding, installing, and optimal managing the charging stations. In this work, an economic value of V2G operation is proposed, and an advanced scheme of a V2G operations communication protocol that enables flexible control of the charging and discharging operations of the EV in an optimisation way has been developed, based on an energy arbitrage service, using two different discharge rates study. An economic study based on energy arbitrage using problem optimisation has been depicted. A use case based on the Nissan Leaf 40 kWh was simulated.

Toward 3GPP Sidelink-Based Millimeter Wave Wireless Personal Area Network for Out-of-Coverage Scenarios
Authors: Koda Yusuke , Okura Ryogo , Harada Hiroshi
Published: November 2023

With advancements in distributed autonomous systems (e.g., vehicles, sensors, and robots) in the 5G/6G era, sidelink communication technology has evolved as a distributed communication system in the third generation partnership project (3GPP). However, the current low-rate point-to-point sidelink communication design is not suitable for rapid development of such autonomous systems. Instead, based on sidelink, developing distributed wireless personal area networks (WPANs) with a drastically higher rate are essential. The overarching goal of this study is to explore the possibility of sidelink communication evolution to 1) form a distributed and autonomous WPAN and 2) support millimeter wave (mmWave) bands. Our core idea is to merge several design concepts of the precedented mmWave WPAN standards, i.e., IEEE 802.15.3c/11ad, into the sidelink communications, thereby bridging the gap between the two separated systems. This paper presents the anatomy of the IEEE 802.15.3c/11ad system with a focus on the formation of mmWave WPANs among distributed nodes and their operation. In addition, the current status of sidelink communication system design is highlighted, along with the missing building blocks, which are required to develop 3GPP sidelink-based mmWave WPAN systems. Simulation results on network formation signaling in the mmWave WPANs shed light on merging IEEE 802.15.3c/11ad concepts into 3GPP sidelink communication.

Synthesis of Low-Voltage Minimum Switch-Count DC Bus Second-Harmonic Hybrid Filters
Authors: Mukhopadhyay Anwesha
Published: November 2023

Active power decoupling (APD) is an emerging technique for second-harmonic ripple filtering in single-phase power conversion systems. It reduces the dc bus capacitance requirement while adding extra active components to the converter. Though capacitance reduction is favourable for improving converter power density and reliability, added active components often make the circuit complex apart from increasing the power losses. Therefore, APD with minimum active component count and reduced loss have gained significant research interest. This article discusses the synthesis of minimum switch count APD topologies that use low-power rated devices. Low-power APD circuits help to reduce the filter loss, making their efficiency comparable to that of the passive filters. The topology derivations are elaborated, and the significant attributes of the derived filters are compared with the state-of-the-art active and hybrid filters to comprehend their relative merits and limitations. The operations of the synthesized unique topologies are experimentally validated using laboratory hardware.

Published: November 2023

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar a luta e a contribuição das mulheres trabalhadoras rurais no Brasil a partir das ações das mulheres na e da Contag, com foco na Marcha das Margaridas e no seu diálogo com o(s) feminismo(s). O foco é conhecer a história da organização das mulheres trabalhadoras rurais no Brasil e entender como esta fortaleceu o sindicalismo da Contag e a luta feminista. Como a Marcha das Margaridas foi um marco da mobilização das mulheres do movimento sindical da Contag, em parceria com diversas organizações de mulheres e feministas do Brasil, sua compreensão é central para entender a Contag em seus 60 anos de história. Para isso, foi feita uma pesquisa qualitativa, com análise documental e de entrevistas semiestruturais, realizadas com lideranças da Contag, da Marcha das Margaridas, das entidades parceiras e com representantes do governo que estiveram em algum momento em diálogo com essas lutas e demandas. Como resultado, percebe-se que a crescente organização das mulheres do campo, das águas e das florestas trouxe mais visibilidade e reconhecimento político para o sindicalismo da Contag, para dentro e para fora do movimento, tendo como expressão a força política da Marcha das Margaridas que se tornou referência nacional e internacional de mobilização das mulheres rurais e a maior ação em massa realizada pela Contag. Também foi possível identificar como as mulheres da Contag se fortaleceram com o(s) feminismo(s) e como o(s) feminismo(s) se fortaleceram com a luta das mulheres do sindicalismo rural.

Published: November 2023

This article presents narratives on the trajectory of the Rural Trade Union Movement (MSR) in Tomé-Açu, located in northeastern Pará state, Brazil, with a primary focus on its leaders. We also analyze the creation of new unions, the Family Farmers Union (SINTRAF) and the Rural Employees Union (SINDTER), both of which originated from the Rural Workers Union (STTR), along with their impact on the municipality's union movement. A qualitative approach was utilized, with non-directive interviews to collect data. The results demonstrate the importance of leadership in the process of structuring the representation of these categories and reveal the current challenges that face trade unionism in Tomé-Açu, especially those linked to the expansion of oil palm cultivation.

Air Susu Ibu (ASI) merupakan nutrisi alamiah terbaik bagi bayi karena mengandung kebutuhan energi dan zat yang dibutuhkan selama enam bulan pertama kehidupan bayi. World Health Organization (WHO) dan United Nations Childrens Fund (UNICEF) merekomendasikan agar ibu menyusui bayinya saat satu jam pertama setelah melahirkan dan melanjutkan hingga usia 6 bulan pertama kehidupan bayi. Kenaikan tingkat partisipasi wanitaÂ  dan emansipasi dalam segala bidang kerja sebagai salah satu alasan mayoritas ibu memberikan susu formula. Ibu yang bekerja sering keluar rumah untuk menjalankanÂ  tugas tugas di kantor maupun tugas-tugas sosial sehingga susu formula dianggap Â satu-satunya jalan keluar dalam pemberian makanan bagi bayi yang ditinggalkan diÂ  rumah. Manajemen laktasi adalah suatu upaya yangÂ  dilakukan oleh ibu untuk menunjang keberhasilan menyusui. Manajemen laktasi dimulai pada masa kehamilan, setelahÂ  persalinan,Â  danÂ  masaÂ  menyusuiÂ  bayi.Â  Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk menganalisis pendidikan kesehatan dengan menggunakan media leaflet terhadap pengetahuan ibu tentang manajemen laktasi. Penelitian ini dilakukan terhadap 31 responden ibu hamil dengan menggunakan desain penelitian kuasi eksperimen dengan rancangan oneÂ  group pretest-post test. Hasil dari uji analisis menggunakan Wilcoxon sign rank test menunjukkan Ï = 0,000 (a=0,05). Hasil penelitian diperoleh bahwa pengetahuan ibu hamil sebelum intervensi termasuk kategori cukup yaitu 29,03% dan sesudah intervensi termasuk kategori baik yaitu 93,33%. Maka terdapat perbedaan pengetahuan ibu hamil tentang manajemen laktasi sebelum dan sesudah pendidikan kesehatan melalui media leaflet di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Sukaraja Tahun 2021
