Authors:   Department of Physics, Sidho-Kanho-Birsha University, Purulia – 723104, India, Mandal Arka , Mukherjee Biswanath
Published: December 2021

An organic photodetector (PD) is fabricated with single layer thin film of copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) on glass substrate. The thermal deposition of CuPc film on the substrate was realized under high vacuum and at different substrate temperature (room temperature, 40 ◦C, 70 ◦C, 100 ◦C). The comparison of photoresponse characteristics of CuPc thin film deposited under different conditions showed good improvement with increase in the substrate temperature, and the best performances being observed for the film deposited at substrate temperature of 100 ◦C. The thin film of CuPc characterized through X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM) clearly indicated that with increase in substrate temperature, the grain size of CuPc film increased, which improved the crystallinity and hence the photoconductivity of the device. The CuPc thin film based PD displayed stable and reproducible photoswitching characteristics under white light irradiation, with photocurrent modulation by varying in input optical power. The highest photo to dark current ratio and responsivity of the devices was calculated to be, ca. 6.5 and 7.1 mA-W−1 at low optical power, ca. 14.5 mW-cm−2.

Published: December 2021

Temiz ve güvenilir içme suyuna olan küresel talep katlanarak artmaktadır. Bu talebi karşılamak için, yüzey suyunun arıtılması sırasında su arıtma tesislerinde büyük miktarda çamur oluşur. İçme suyu arıtma tesislerinden gelen çamur (İSAÇ), genellikle tehlikeli olmayan atık olarak düzenli depolama sahalarında bertaraf edilir. Ancak İSAÇ’ın ekonomik olarak sürdürülebilir ve çevre dostu bir şekilde yönetilmesine ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu ihtiyaç doğrultusunda atıkların bertaraf yöntemlerinden biri, zemin iyileştirmede kullanılmasıdır. İSAÇ’ın bu kapsamda değerlendirilmesi hem ekonomik hem de çevresel açıdan uygun olmaktadır. Çalışmada, İSAÇ'ın zemin iyileştirmede kullanılabilirliği araştırılmıştır. Kil zemine sırasıyla %5, %7.5, %10, %12.5 ve %15 oranlarında İSAÇ ilave edilerek karışımın Kaliforniya Taşıma Oranı (CBR) belirlenmiştir. Kil zemine ilave edilen İSAÇ oranına bağlı olarak CBR değerlerinde %75'e varan iyileşmeler gözlenmiştir. Ayrıca, kil bir zeminin iyileştirmesinde CBR bakımından İSAÇ'ın optimum oranı %12.5 olarak belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, İSAÇ'ın geoteknik mühendisliğinde zemin iyileştirmede kullanılabilecek alternatif bir atık olduğu düşünülmektedir.

Pregnant marriage due to adultery has consequences that have an impact on the validity of marriage and the civil status of the child born. The discourse on pregnant marriage and adultery continues to be a never-ending conversation. Is it permissible for a man to marry a woman who is pregnant? How about the civil rights of children who are born? On whom was the lineage leaned? Is he entitled to inherit his mother's father's property? Does the husband of the mother have the right to be the guardian of marriage? Different perspectives cause differences in addressing the problem of pregnant marriage and adultery. This study seeks to reveal the problem of pregnant marriage and its implications for children born, from the perspective of the Compilation of Islamic Law as a product of Indonesian jurisprudence, also looking at positive law and studying it in the perspective of Islamic law, then providing analysis and comparisons from these various points of view.

The Indonesian government's efforts to eradicate illiteracy deserve appreciation, but this has not been accompanied by successful efforts in building a reading culture in the community. This is in accordance with various world surveys that note the low level of literacy in Indonesia. There are several studies through quantitative studies on interest and fondness for reading in various provinces in Indonesia, and this can be used as comparison material. One of the comprehensive studies conducted by the Center for Policy Research on Education and Culture, Research and Development Agency, Ministry of Education and Culture released the Reading Literacy Activity Index (Alibaca Index) in 34 provinces in Indonesia. Seeing this data, what becomes interesting to study later is whether the reading literacy level has a correlation with the student's academic achievement variable. This is important because in the end the school/madrasah literacy movement is aimed at achieving the highest level that goes beyond the level of habituation and development, namely the level of learning. This study aims to answer the questions, 1) Is there a significant positive correlation between students' reading literacy levels and academic achievement, in 34 provinces in Indonesia? and 2) What strategies should schools/madrasahs do to increase students' reading literacy levels and at the same time increase the achievement of academic achievement? This study uses a descriptive correlational approach by collecting data through the study of documentation and interviews. The results showed that the correlation between reading activity index and academic achievement (r) was 0.766. There are several innovation ideas also described qualitatively as a result of interviews.

Preventive healthcare is a top priority in modern health policy. As its main elements, the health education and health culture of the population are essential. Medical specialists bear almost little responsibility for their development and quality. Educators, the school as an institution, the family and society have a key role to play in this regard. In Bulgaria, health education is not present as an independent subject at school. It is embedded in various classroom and extracurricular forms of education. The purpose of this study is to establish the level of health knowledge among 14–19-year-old Bulgarian students achieved through the education system, family and social environment. It also explores the possibilities for enhancing the health competence of high school students.
Мethodological Support for University Students’ Independent Work

This paper focuses on the role of media linguistics and the use of media discourse in (foreign) language education. Based on an example of a specific critical incident in the context of teaching Bulgarian as a foreign language, the study concludes that (foreign) language teaching and learning should go beyond the normative spaces of the “standard” language, and that learners should be exposed to the lexico-grammatical and discourse features of different target language varieties and registers. Thus, they will expand their language repertoire beyond the perimeter of the codified standard norm of public communication, which will allow them to use the language appropriately in diverse social and cultural settings.

For machining of composites like glass fibre reinforced polymers, abrasive water jet machining is generally used. In the present paper, an experimental investigation is described which is focused on studying the influence of AWJM process parameters on surface roughness of machined samples. Four process parameters namely water pressure, traverse speed, stand-off distance and abrasive mass flow rate are considered in the present study. Taguchi technique is used for the design of experiments and analysis of variance (ANOVA) is performed to determine the significance of parameters. It is found that water pressure and traverse speed are the major significant parameters for influencing surface roughness. Surface roughness decreases with increase in water pressure and decrease in traverse speed. For surface roughness minimization Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) technique is used for multi optimization of process parameters and experimental results are analyzed using Grey Relational Grades (GRG).

Tool vibration is the most unfavourable element in the boring operation, as it contributes to poor surface finish, excessive tool wear, and progressive cutting force. Tool vibration mainly occurs due to the overhanging length of the boring tool and to overcome this factor an appropriate mechanism has to be established which helps to increase the production and quality of the product in manufacturing sector. An impact particle damper with variable material spheres, sphere diameter, and sphere location in a boring tool is fabricated in this work. A 27 run experiments were conducted to find the effect of impact particle damping on tribological properties during boring process. The results shows that impact particle damper increases the rigidity of the tool holder which enhances the tribological properties. The sphere in the boring tool will collide with one another thereby suppressing the tool vibration efficiently.

Extrusion is a simple metal forming process in which a block of metal is forced through a die orifice with a certain shape under high pressure. This extrusion process is influenced by many process parameters such as die angle (DA), ram speed (RS), coefficient of friction (COF), Extrusion ratio, Die land height, work piece diameter and length, material properties etc. In extrusion process, extrusion force is crucial parameter, the flow of metal and hence the extrusion force is significantly influenced by the above parameters which results in quality of the product. The present study numerically investigates the influence of major process parameters such as die angle, ram speed, coefficient of friction on the extrusion process. The AA2024 material is chosen as work piece material and the extrusion force and damage is considered as the output responses. The input process parameters are varied in three levels (Level - 1: 10° DA, 1.6mm/min RS, 0.06 COF; Level - 2: 20° DA, 3.2mm/min RS, 0.08 COF; Level - 3: 30° DA, 4.8mm/min RS, 0.01 COF). Numerical simulations are performed by using DEFORM 3D software. The simulations are conducted as per L27 orthogonal array. From the results it is observed that Increase of die angle, ram speed and coefficient of friction increases the extrusion force. The die angle has highest (86.45%) influence on the extrusion force, then after ram speed (6.60%). The coefficient of friction has insignificant influence (0.55%). It is also noticed that the damage is considerable after the 20° die angle. A multi parameter optimization is also done by using the Grey relation analysis by considering the equal weightage of extrusion force and damage. The optimum levels of input process parameters for the minimum extrusion force and damage is DA level 1, RS level 1, and COF level 3.
