Background: Substance use disorders (USD) continue to be the primary cause of disability and early death, affecting the global criminal justice, social care, health, and welfare systems. Objectives: To identify the factors influencing the acceptance of patients with USD to complete the institutional detoxification period. Methods: This retrospective cohort study reviewed the medical records of the Al-Qanat Center for Social Rehabilitation, Baghdad, Iraq. The extraction chart was conducted from July 18 to August 26, 2024. It included patients who received mental services from SUD treatment programs during 2023. Results: The study included 470 patients with SUD. Most patients (95.5%) were male, with an average age of 26.85 years, 52.7% of them were single, 60.1% had low-income jobs, 61.1% had primary school degrees, and >73.8% completed the treatment during the hospitalization period. Addicted women were significantly less likely to complete the detoxification period compared to men. The addicted patients who were more likely to complete the hospitalization period included those with younger age, longer hospitalization periods, and shorter duration of addiction. Methamphetamine (Crystal) was the most used substance (77.7%) by the admitted patients. Conclusion: The gender disparities in treatment completion of SUD highlight the need for gender-sensitive detoxification centers that account for societal factors and encourage family and community support to improve treatment engagement and outcomes. Developing new centers across the country’s provinces is pivotal to being more accessible for such patients.

Excessive use of fertilizers harms the environment and disrupts plant habitats, while also raising costs for farmers. Proper timing and amounts of nutrients are crucial for plant health and environmental balance. The greenness of rice leaves indicates their chlorophyll and nutrient levels. Agronomy studies show rice plants need 10 nutrients, including primary ones like Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K), and secondary ones like Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), Boron (B), Molybdenum (Mo), and Chlorine (Cl). Leaf nitrogen concentration (LNC) is highly correlated with chlorophyll content. There are several tools on LEAF+ to measure it, such as leaf color (LCC), SPAD, chlorophyll or nitrogen. Since these tools are cost-effective and not available to all farmers, LCC offers farmers the ability to estimate plant nitrogen needs in real-time for efficient fertilizer use and increased rice yield. Notable innovation in agriculture is the Leaf Color Chart (LCC), developed by Japanese experts. It measures chlorophyll levels in rice plants and aids in nitrogen management without harming the plant. Today, LCC is used globally to improve production efficiency and optimize nitrogen application rates. The remaining 2 major nutrients potassium and phosphorus can also be measured by experimentally expanding the available database of LCC, as has been done in the two models developed in this research paper.

Published: December 2024

This paper presents the design of a lower limb exoskeleton made for the purpose of wrist joint rehabilitation. The authors use the exoskeleton structure in order to cope with the user’s upper-limb kinematics and to provide motion to the wrist joint when the arm is in any possible spatial configuration. To reduce the inertia of the mechanical structure, the motors are fixed at the back of the user and the power transmission is realized via a cable drive transmission. Two elastic cables are used to control the flexion/extension movement of the wrist joint. The tensions inside the elastic cables are controlled within the use of 2 torque sensors. By using two DC motors, the actuation unit can act like human tendons and provides more natural assistance motion. At the output axis, a third torque sensor is used to allow the control of the interaction between the mechanism and the user’s wrist joint.
Evaluating the Total Active Power Loss under Different Placement of Photovoltaic Power Plants Using an Effective Northern Goshawk Optimization
Authors: Dao Trong Tran  , Bach Hoang Dinh
Published: December 2024

This research presents a detailed evaluation of the total active power loss (TAPL) under different placements of photovoltaic power plants (PVPs) in the electric distribution network (EDN) IEEE 33-node. Three study cases have been conducted to serve the initial intention, including 1) optimizing both rated power and position of a PVP on selected EDN; 2) optimizing the positions of different quantities of PVPs independently to the grid with the same rated power, and 3) optimizing a sole PVP with a wide range of rated power. In all three study cases, northern goshawk optimization (NGO) is the primary search method for determining the essential results and data, especially in the last two cases, after proving its competitive performance in the first case compared to other methods. The results in study cases 2 and 3 indicated that for reaching the minimum value of TAPL, placing many PVPs independently on the grid simultaneously is the best implementation. Notably, the placement 7 PVPs with a total rated power of 2800kW has resulted in a significantly better TAPL than all the results in study case 3. However, for the situation where EDN can only adopt a sole PVP, all the data and results presented in study case 3 are also good academic material.

Published: December 2024

In recent years, the issue of oil and organic spillage caused by human population growth has become increasingly urgent, not only in Vietnam but also worldwide. Researchers are showing great interest in the research and development of materials capable of selectively absorbing oils and organic solvents while repelling water. In this project, an oil-absorbing material was developed using reduced graphene oxide particles incorporated into a polyurethane (PU) foam base. Utilizing PU sponge as the base material enhances the oil absorption capacity of the material. Graphene oxide was initially synthesized using the Hummers method and then reduced with ascorbic acid to form reduced graphene oxide (RGO). RGO was applied to the sponge with varying loading amounts, ranging from 0 to 254%. Subsequently, the porous material was coated with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) to assess its hydrophobicity and its ability to adsorb oil and organic solvents. The results indicate that the oil and organic solvent absorption capacity of RGO and HDPE coating materials is highest at RGO loading percentages exceeding 64%, yielding absorption rates ranging from 35 to 63 times the weight of the material. Additionally, the contact angle of RGO and HDPE coating materials is approximately 150°, demonstrating the high hydrophobicity of the material.

Improved Controller for Interlinking Converter in Hybrid AC/DC Microgrids
Authors: Xuan Hoa Thi Pham  , Hien-Thanh Le  , Hai Van Tran
Published: December 2024

The AC/DC hybrid microgrids are a feasible solution to provide both AC and DC power to electrical equipment. However, the control problem to maintain voltage and frequency stability in AC/DC hybrid microgrids is essential. This paper proposes a control method for the converter to maintain voltage and frequency stability for AC/DC hybrid microgrids. The power converter will operate bidirectionally to transfer power back and forth between AC and DC subgrids in the AC/DC hybrid microgrid operating in standalone mode. The proposed control method not only controls the bidirectional power flow between AC and DC subgrids to stabilize voltage and frequency as well as balance active power and reactive power. In addition, the proposed method can restore voltage and frequency for the microgrid in the event of sudden load surges or power failures in AC and DC subgrids. This method is established based on the relationship between active power and frequency, because active power is present in both AC and DC subgrids, while frequency is only present in AC subgrid. However, in AC subgrid, frequency depends on active power, while in DC subgrid, DC bus voltage depends on active power. Therefore, the proposed method is designed based on adaptive frequency shifting to adjust the power flow exchange between the two subgrids in order to maintain the stability of the frequency and voltage of the buses. The suitability and feasibility of the method are demonstrated by simulating the AC/DC hybrid microgrid using Matlab/simulink software.
Intellectual Property Rights’ Trade Relevance
Authors: Guan Wenwei
Published: December 2024

This article critically examines the intellectual property rights’ (IPRs’) trade relevance philosophy and its policy implications. Riding on the productivity and transportation convenience unleashed by the Industrial Revolution, the century-long evolution of the IPRs regime since the 1880s was both the driving force and result of a trade evolution that eventually grew into the World Trade Organization (WTO). The incorporation of IPRs into the WTO Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), however, is an ill-considered one. Private and negative IPRs – as expression of originality in arts and literature, inventions in products, and goodwill in marks evolve in trade for trade yet separate from goods and services in trade – are trade relevant, yet can be destructive without competition control. The structural complexity of TRIPS three-tiered exceptions – as to the rights, the use of rights, and rights’ sovereign implications – suggests that the TRIPS philosophy of the balance of rights and obligations is the essence of IPRs’ trade relevance. TRIPS’ IPRs incorporation, however, was ill-considered and IPRs’ trade relevance philosophy is underdefined. Absent of trade-accommodating competition control, IPRs are not trade-related, neither can rights and obligations be balanced, unless the dropped competition negotiation is duly resumed with a positive outcome.

Two disputing communities living in Cyprus have difficulties in interpersonal, intercultural, interethnic, identity-based and political conflict. Historically divided Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities have different views about the reunification of Cyprus. Beginning with having independence from United Kingdom in 1960, Cyprus is ethnically divided between the Greek and Turkish Cypriots. After Turkey’s 1974 action to protect the Turkish Cypriots from the threat of a coup intended in the Greek Part of the island, Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) has been established as being protected and solely recognized by the Turkish Republic (TR). Reunification of Cyprus between the Turkish and Greek communities will enhance a European Identity shared by the cultures, as The Republic of Cyprus (TRC) is joined in the European Union (EU) as representing all the island. The partitioning of the land Cyprus had bed effects of the island’s economy. According to TRC, one-third of the population had been left in TRNC. Losing part of the land and personal property in the area of TRNC, especially Fagamusta –the only deepwater port- and Nicosia International Airport were some of the results. So the gross domestic product (GDP) decreased by one third in this period. Afterwards, great effort had been taken and concluded with an annual rate of growth by nearly 10%. Since 1983, economy developed remaining the unemployment and inflation rate lower. Tourism, upgrading technology in a lot of areas, establishing a center of international transit trade, merchant shipping, banking and similar services improved the economy. Special tariff arrangements and having acceptance in EU, euro is the national currency in TRC. On TRNC side, Turkey is the subsidizer in the economy.

CARL SCHMİTT’İN “DÜZEN ve YERLEŞTİRME” YAKLAŞIMI ÜZERİNDEN 1948-1967 ARAP-İSRAİL SAVAŞININ DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ
Authors: Arslan Ayşe Gökçe

Her büyük tarihi değişiklik mekan tasavvurundaki dönüşüm ile başlamaktadır. Schmitt’e göre, siyasi varoluş açısından birbirine karşıt gruplar arasındaki ihtilafların yumuşatılmasına bağlı olan düzenin sağlanması ancak yerleştirme ile siyasal olanın sınırlarının belirlenmesi yoluyla mümkün hale gelmektedir. Ele geçirme, bölüşme ve üretme ortak ilkeleri doğrultusunda sağlanan düzen ve yerleştirme siyasal olan ve egemenin eylemlerini oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Araplarla Yahudileri karşı karşıya getirenin, aynı topraklar üzerinde “düzen ve yerleştirme” iddiasıyla nihai belirleyici olarak karar verme tekeline sahip olmak istemelerinin ve bu amaç doğrultusunda birbirlerini kamusal düşman kabul ederek dışlamalarının çatışma ve savaşa neden olduğu savından yola çıkılmıştır. 1948-1967 Savaşları ile İsrail mekan ve yerleştirme arasındaki bağı kurarak mekansız bir halk olmaktan kurtulmuş; Filistinliler ise mekansızlaşmaya başlamıştır. Yaşanan savaş ve çatışmaların diğer bir etkisi ise Filistinlilerin üzerinde yaşadıkları topraklar üzerinde egemenlik sahibi olabilmek amacıyla bağımsızlık mücadelesi verdikleri ve siyasal bir varlık olarak ortaya çıktıkları bir süreci başlatması olmuştur.

Authors: XU MIN , JAFFRI HADIJAH , YANG XIAOHAN
Published: December 2024

This systematic review examines the relationship between emotional regulation (ER) and psychological well-being (PWB) in higher education from 2019 to 2024. It focuses on how emotional regulation strategies impact students' and teachers' psychological well-being and academic performance in higher education. The review synthesizes findings from 63 studies across multiple countries, highlighting both adaptive and maladaptive ER strategies. Methodologically, most studies employed quantitative approaches with a few utilizing mixed or qualitative methods. The findings consistently show that better ER skills correlate with lower stress and improved psychological outcomes. Additionally, demographic factors and contextual factors like the COVID-19 pandemic significantly moderate these relationships. The review emphasizes the importance of adaptive ER strategies for both students and teachers in higher education, recommending further research to explore more mediating and moderating factors, and suggesting the inclusion of more diverse samples to enhance generalizability.
