Effect of Flow Interference between Cylinders Subjected to a Cross Flow over a Cluster of Three Equally Spaced Cylinders
Authors: Dong Jia , Shi Xianrui , Yan Genhua
Published: July 2024

In this paper, flow over a cluster of three equally spaced circular cylinders was studied by numerical simulation based on the turbulence model k-kl-ω for two incidence angles β = 0° and 60°, at different Reynolds numbers, and flow interference pattern characteristics between cylinders, characteristics of force parameters, and Strouhal number of each cylinder with different spacing ratios ranging from 1.5 to 4 at Re 8 × 104, 2 × 105 and 2 × 106 were obtained. Analyzing the flow field around three cylinders, the following results have been obtained: (1) at incidence angle β = 0° and 60°, the wake was nearly symmetrical if S/D ≥ 2.0; (2) at β = 60°, S/D = 1.5, and Re = 2 × 105, an asymmetric periodic flow pattern occurred in the wake region which produced a significant effect on the surface mechanical parameters and Strouhal number, and this was observed for the first time. The periodic flow regime of the wake region also occurred at S/D = 1.35 and 1.5, without the same phenomenon at S/D = 1.7 and 2.0; this phenomenon is described for the first time in this paper; (3) the phenomenon of periodic flow regime in the wake region was intrinsic and related to Reynolds number and space ratio. In addition, the characteristics of force parameters of three cylinders were mainly affected by the interference between cylinders, at 1.5 < S/D < 4, which indicated that the drag coefficient of three cylinders reduces with different Reynolds numbers and increases with enlargement of the spacing ratio for upstream cylinders at incidence angle 0°. At incidence angle 60° and S/D = 1.5~4, the Strouhal number decreases with the enlargement of spacing ratio for the upstream cylinders, but the Strouhal number increases for the downstream cylinder, which is another prominent flow interference influence. The results indicated the effect of flow interference between cylinders subjected to a cross flow over a cluster of three equally spaced cylinders, considering the flow pattern, surface mechanical parameters and Strouhal number, which should be considered in the establishment of standard design codes in fields such as offshore wind turbine engineering for flow interference around groups of cylinders.
Hydrodynamic Porosity: A New Perspective on Flow through Porous Media, Part II
Authors: Young August H. , Kabala Zbigniew J.
Published: July 2024

In this work, we build upon our previous finding that hydrodynamic porosity is an exponential function of pore-scale flow velocity (or interstitial Reynolds number). We previously discovered this relationship for media with a square cavity geometry—a highly idealized case of the dead-ended pore spaces in a porous medium. Thus, we demonstrate the applicability of this relationship to media with other cavity geometries. We do so by applying our previous analysis to rectangular and non-rectangular cavity geometries (i.e., circular, and triangular). We also study periodic flow geometries to determine the effect of upstream cavities on those downstream. We show that not only does our exponential relationship hold for media with a variety of cavity geometries, but it does so almost perfectly with a coefficient of determination (R2) of approximately one for each new set of simulation data. Given this high fit quality, it is evident that the exponential relationship we previously discovered is applicable to most, if not all, unwashed media.
Risk Factors for Wrong-Site Surgery: A Study of 1,166 Reports of Informed Consent and Schedule Errors
Authors: Taylor Matthew A. , Yonash Robert A.
Published: July 2024

Background

The accuracy of informed consent and procedural schedule are important components in a process for preventing wrong-site surgery.

Methods

In our study of a four-year period, we used the Pennsylvania Patient Safety Reporting System (PA-PSRS) database to explore the occurrence of consent and/or schedule errors at all licensed hospitals and ambulatory surgical facilities (ASFs) in Pennsylvania. We also evaluated the reports for consent and schedule error subtypes: side, procedure, site, and patient.

Results

Over a four-year period, 1,166 event reports described a consent and/or schedule error, and 86% of the reports were from hospitals and 14% were from ASFs. Among the 1,166 reports, 56% described a schedule error, 34% had a consent error, and 10% involved both error types. In the sample of reports, the frequency of error subtypes were ranked in the following sequence: side (69%), procedure (24%), site (4%), and patient (3%). The analysis also revealed similarities and differences in the distribution of error types and subtypes across hospitals and ASFs.

Conclusions

Based on the results, it is evident that consent and schedule errors are issues across many healthcare facilities. The findings by error subtype (side, procedure, site, patient) show some similarity in distribution with previous studies of wrong-site surgery events. We recommend that readers review Table 4 and Table 5 for a brief literature review of risk factors for consent and schedule errors and strategies for preventing and detecting the occurrence of those errors, respectively.
‘Everyone has heard of it, but no one knows what it is’: a qualitative study of patient understandings and experiences of herpes zoster
Authors: Rees Sophie , Ridd Matthew , Hunt Lorelei , Everitt Hazel , Gilbertson Anna , Johnson Robert , Pickering Anthony E , van Hecke Oliver , Wylde Vikki , Wells Sian , Banks Jonathan P
Published: July 2024

Background

Shingles (herpes zoster), caused by reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus, is usually diagnosed and managed in primary care. The lifetime risk of shingles in the general population is approximately 30%, and it can have a detrimental effect on quality of life. There has been little qualitative research about patient experience and understanding of shingles.

Aim

To explore patient experiences and understanding of shingles.

Design and setting

Qualitative interviews with people with shingles recruited from primary care in England.

Method

Qualitative semi-structured remote interviews were undertaken with 29 participants in a randomised controlled trial in primary care in England (ATHENA,ISRCTN14490832). Participants were aged >49 years and were diagnosed within 6 days of shingles rash onset. Interviewees were sampled for diversity in terms of pain, intervention adherence, age, gender, and ethnicity. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis.

Results

Interviews took place in November 2022 to April 2023. Participants’ understanding of shingles was limited, particularly pre-diagnosis. A common theme was that ‘everyone has heard of it, but no one knows what it is’. Television campaigns about the shingles vaccination programme helped some to recognise the rash. Shingles was understood as a disease with a variable prognosis, resulting in a sense of uncertainty about the significance when diagnosed. Participants reported a range of symptoms, which impacted on everyday life. Some people thought their diagnosis was caused by poor mental health or challenging life circumstances, a perception sometimes reinforced by healthcare professionals. Many participants sought meaning in their diagnosis, reflecting on, and sometimes changing, their life and circumstances.

Conclusion

Primary care practitioners should be aware of the broad spectrum of patient knowledge, and the potential for better understanding to promote early attendance and treatment to reduce the impact of shingles.

2
through Quantum Interference
Authors: He Yuhang , Chen Yuxuan , La Xiangyu , Dai Chenyin , Tian Zhen , Dai Jianming
Published: July 2024

Quantum interference (QI) has been widely studied in advanced materials and can be exploited to control the nonlinear response by varying the relative phase between the incident optical pulses. However, the contribution of the coherent injected photocurrent by QI from the indirect gap materials is still unclear because of the much weaker phonon-assisted absorption compared with that from the direct gap materials. Here, we investigate the coherent injected photocurrent in mono- and multilayer MoS
2
with thickness at the nanometer scale under 2-color light excitation by detecting the generated coherent terahertz (THz) wave. We observe that the THz radiation can be controlled by the relative phase. Besides, we obtain similar experimental results of the THz wave generation from mono- and multilayer MoS
2
when we change the relative polarization angle between 𝜔 and 2𝜔 pulses, in comparison to the case of direct gap materials. Thus, these experimental results further verify that, in multilayer MoS
2
with an indirect gap, QI in the direct gap region is the dominant process for the THz wave generation. Furthermore, we demonstrate that QI can be a more effective mechanism to induce THz radiation than optical rectification under single-color light excitation. This study enhances the understanding of QI in indirect gap materials and highlights the potential of 2-color light excitation for investigating third-order nonlinear processes in advanced materials.
An Integrative Literature Review on Leadership and Organizational Readiness for AI
Authors: Frangos Piper
Published: July 2024

Digital transformation is a reality for nearly all organizations today.  Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a critical role in this transformation.  The advent of machine learning and AI forces leaders to re-evaluate what it takes to lead an AI-driven firm successfully. As the scope and applicability of AI aggrandize, traditional leadership needs to evolve and meet the challenges and harness the opportunities this elusive technology presents.  This literature review examines required leadership capabilities and organizational imperatives (beyond technology) for AI readiness and adoption.  Based on literature, a new framework is presented to build on current leadership insights and technology adoption theories. The framework connects required leadership capabilities (agility, vision, engagement, ethics, and digital know-how) and organizational domains (knowledge, competence, and culture) to create a tool for executive leaders to drive AI adoption throughout their firms.
Suggestions for a Revision of the European Smart Robot Liability Regime
Authors: Gallese Chiara
Published: July 2024

In recent years, the need for regulation of robots and Artificial Intelligence, together with the urgency of reshaping the civil liability framework, has become apparent in Europe. Although the matter of civil liability has been the subject of many studies and resolutions, multiple attempts to harmonize EU tort law have been unsuccessful so far, and only the liability of producers for defective products has been harmonized so far. In 2021, by publishing the AI Act proposal, the European Commission reached the goal to regulate AI at the European level, classifying smart robots as ”high-risk systems”. This new piece of legislation, albeit tackling important issues, does not focus on liability rules. However, regulating the responsibility of developers and manufacturers of robots and AI systems, in order to avoid a fragmented legal framework across the EU and an uneven application of liability rules in each Member State, is still an important issue that raises many concerns in the industry sector. In particular, deep learning techniques need to be carefully regulated, as they challenge the traditional liability paradigm: it is often not possible to know the reason behind the output given by those models, and neither the programmer nor the manufacturer is able to predict the AI behavior. For this reason, some authors have argued that we need to take liability away from producers and programmers when robots are capable of acting autonomously from their original design, while others have proposed a strict liability regime. This article explores liability issues about AI and robots with regards to users, producers, and programmers, especially when the use of machine learning techniques is involved, and suggests some regulatory solutions for European lawmakers.
Activity Theory Analysis of RPA and Workforce in Financial Institutions
Authors: Lakay Denise , Mlambo Nontobeko
Published: July 2024

Financial institutions have been at the forefront of using Robotic Process Automation (RPA). Developing countries are moving towards using this emerging technology. Literature indicates various views on RPA and the workforce within financial institutions. This article, therefore, explores how RPA can be productively implemented in financial institutions. Activity Theory (AT) was applied to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges within financial institutions regarding the workforce employed. Using the six tenets of Activity Theory, this article looks at how these various areas impact the RPA adoption concerning the workforce. The use of RPA in financial institutions has assisted in processing mundane, repetitive tasks that do not require human intelligence. However, the AT tenets revealed the contradiction between RPA and the workforce. The challenges arise from a lack of understanding of how the two actors (RPA & workforce) can work in harmony and how both are reliant on one another. This paper uses qualitative methods to unpack the implications of RPA in financial institutions and the impact RPA has on the workforce. Various studies looked at the fear amongst the workforce regarding RPA, yet no empirical evidence exists to prove that RPA causes unemployment. This study demonstrates that communication is essential for introducing new technology.
Mass Interaction Principle as a Foundational Framework for Quantum Mechanics
Authors: Gu Chu-Jun
Published: July 2024

This paper proposes mass interaction principle (MIP) as: the particles will be subjected to the random frictionless Brownian motion by the collision of space time particle(STP) ubiquitous in spacetime. The change in the amount of action of the particles during each collision is an integer multiple of the Planck constant h. The motion of particles under the action of STP is a Markov process. Under this principle, we infer that the statistical inertial mass of a particle is a statistical property that characterizes the difficulty of particle diffusion in spacetime. Within the framework of MIP, all the essences of quantum mechanics are derived, which proves that MIP is the origin of quantum mechanics. Due to the random collisions between STP and the matter particles, matter particles are able to behave exactly as required by the supervisor and shepherd for all microscopic behaviors of matter particles. More importantly, we solve a world class puzzle about the anomalous magnetic moment of muon in the latest experiment,and give a self-consistent explanation to the lifetime discrepancy of muon between standard model prediction and experiments at the same time. Last but not least, starting from MIP, we prove the principle of entropy increasing and clarify the physical root of entropy at absolute zero. Within the framework of MIP, we comprehensively discussed the Copenhagen interpretation. It leads to an important conclusion that Copenhagen interpretation is unnecessary for the quantum mechanical system. We found that Maxwell’s classical electromagnetic theory is applicable to the microscopic world not as previously thought. The key is that Brownian motion and classical electromagnetic theory must be combined together to completely solve the problem of electrons outside the nucleus not radiating electromagnetic waves.

Authors: Putri Yolan Ananda , Sumijan  , Enggari Sofika
Published: July 2024

Every company or agency needs Human Resources (HR) in the form of employees who have competence and good performance. Employees are one of the most important assets owned by a company. The West Sumatra Province Transportation Service is the organizer of government affairs in the field of transportation or transportation policy for the West Sumatra Province region where the selection of the best employees is still not optimal using Microsoft Excel. The aim of designing a new system at the Provincial Transportation Service is to create optimization in the assessment of each employee to facilitate the recapitulation of employee data. The data is analyzed and processed according to the research framework, namely using a Decision Support System, especially the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) methods. In this research, 10 alternative employees were taken to be assessed. Based on formula calculations using the AHP method, it is used to determine the weighted value of each existing criterion, then the resulting values from the weighting are used to carry out rankings using the TOPSIS method. After carrying out calculations using these 2 methods, the result was that the best employee was alternative 9 in the name of Rusdi with a value of 0.9995. So with this calculation the results can show which employees have the right to be the best employees in that agency
Information System Design and Application of the Critical Path Method (CPM) Determining the Optimal Time for Implementing Activities
Authors: Graceae Marsaa Noverdi , Rianti Eva , Kurnia Hezy
Published: July 2024

Information is the result of processing data from one or various sources, which is then processed so that it provides value, meaning and benefits. In the modern era, the use of technology plays a very important role as a means of information and promotion, especially in the field of websites in conveying information. The activity implementation plan carried out by the institution to determine the time period for completing activities still uses estimates as a guide. These estimates result in uncertain completion times. This is of course a problem in the implementation of activities, because late completion times result in time differences with the initial planned targets. Based on these conditions, the delivery of information is felt to be less than optimal because it does not yet have a website page, so the author feels that the West Sumatra Center for Public Policy Studies (PSKP) requires an information system that is able to support activities and provide information about the institution to be more effective and efficient. Then a schedule of the activity implementation process is needed from start to finish. One method that can be used for scheduling is the critical path method (CPM). This method is part of the work network method which is oriented towards determining schedules and estimating them which are deterministic (certain). With this CPM method, all activity processes are in accordance with the initial target

Learning Arabic always presents something that needs to be studied in depth, so the researcher researched in depth the concept of learning Arabic. This is because there are many versions of the concept of learning Arabic, so the researcher formulated the problem of how the concept of learning Arabic according to Ibn Khaldun and Azhar Arsyad, with The aim of the research is to find out in detail the similarities and differences regarding the concept of learning Arabic according to the two figures, through library research analysis with a comparative approach which is intended to compare the concepts of learning Arabic between the two figures, using the documentation method, based on the researcher's analysis, it was found that the similarities are found in the discussion. About language itself, and agreed about language as a means of communication, and guidance for students, while the results of the analysis of the differences are in the readiness of students, and the experience of students in previous sciences that students have obtained, with these results the researcher concludes Ibn Khaldun is more selective in the concept of learning Arabic, in the sense that religious knowledge and Arabic should not be combined into one unit, while Azhar Arsyad is exactly the opposite of what Ibn Khaldun expressed, Azhar Arsyad is of the view that students must first know their background. Knowledge, whether it is related to religion or not, it certainly cannot be separated between Arabic language knowledge and religion

Published: July 2024

The lack of attention to the Maharah Kalam has made many Arabic language scholars unable to communicate using Arabic. Insufficient self-confidence, fear of being wrong in terms of rules and pronunciation create obstacles for students to speak Arabic, therefore an It is necessary to analyze linguistic faults so that Arabic pronunciation pays more attention and in order to avoid mistakes in Arabic pronunciation. The purpose of this study is to outline the types of phonological errors in Maharah Kalam, as well as to analyze phonological errors in student Maharah Kalam. This research is field research and is a qualitative descriptive study that employs a linguistic error analysis approach. Ways for gathering data that involve observation and recording. This observation is carried out by paying attention to students' speech and noting any grammar mistakes. Documentation is completed using recording technology. According to the study's findings, consonant sound alterations represent faults at the phonological (phoneme) level, including: changes in consonant /ث/ to consonant /س/, consonant /ع/ to consonant /أ/, consonant /ص/ becomes a consonant /س/. The other errors are errors in reducing phoneme sounds, phonological mistakes at the level of syntax, and phonological mistakes at the morphological level. It can be concluded that there are several errors in language and the factor causing language errors is a lack of attention to the language rules that should be applied. Apart from that, there is the influence of the student's mother tongue or second language, and the influence of the environment, both formal and informal, as well as the lack of application of Arabic. Several causal factors have a big influence on students' phoneme pronunciation errors. This research can provide a new platform for Arabic speakers to always pay attention to Arabic rules when speaking.

Published: July 2024

We designed this project to advance inclusive and equitable teaching by leveraging data to motivate, inform, and tailor teaching development initiatives to the varied needs and resources of academic departments. We developed an innovative framework and mixed methods research design to systematically assess inclusive and equitable teaching at the student, course, department, and institution levels. In the context of a decentralized institution, we partnered with academic departments to collect data about their current practices, existing resources, and needs for advancing inclusive and equitable teaching through a student survey, analysis of course syllabi, and interviews with instructors. We shared and discussed results with partners in academic departments to support and inform departmental change initiatives. We highlight how synthesizing findings across multiple levels of analysis using a mixed methods design provides a new perspective on the perennial issue of the uptake of inclusive and equitable teaching practices in higher education. We discuss lessons learned and future directions with the hope that the framework and/or the research methodology can be a template for other researchers or educational developers to support implementation and sustainability of inclusive and equitable teaching practices.Keywords: mixed methods; inclusion; equity; pedagogy; departmental change; teaching development
Más Allá del Fascismo: Una agenda de investigación sobre la nueva ultraderecha en América Latina
Authors: Alenda Stéphanie , Escoffier Simón
Published: July 2024

New particularities of the far-right in Latin America have allowed it to gain power over the last couple of decades. While the ideas of fascism and Nazism adequately reflected the development of authoritarian, xenophobic, and populist ideological forces during the first half of the 20th century, today, they are obsolete for referring to the tactics and impacts of this new far-right. Although conceptual frameworks on the issue invited to (re)classify the new ultra-right tendencies, the article proposes a relational perspective that identifies dynamics, evolutions, and positions of different expressions of the far right. After a conceptual and historical overview of the relationships between the new far right and fascism, we propose two avenues for future research. First, we explain that the growth of the new far-right depends mainly on the evolution of relationships and disputes between the institutional expressions of the right in their most radical and moderate versions. Second, we show that exploring the development of far-right civil society concerning institutional politics is essential for understanding its recent expansion.

Authors: ZHANG Haijun , QIAN Yi , TIAN Haiqing
Published: July 2024

Low productivity and high electricity consumption are considered problems of the hammer mill, which is widely used in current feed production. In this paper, a folded V-shaped hammer was designed to improve the performance of the hammer mill. To determine the optimal design parameters of the new hammer, the single-factor test and orthogonal tests were carried out with the inclination angle of hammer, the angle of hammer head, and the distance of hammer head as the influencing factors, and the productivity and output per kWh as evaluation indexes. The order of the influence on the productivity and output per kWh were the inclination angle of hammer>the angle of hammer head> the distance of hammer head. The parameters were optimized based on the orthogonal tests with the following results: the angle of hammer head was 160°, inclination angle of hammer was 110°, and the inclination distance of hammer head was 24 mm. The static analysis and modal analysis were carried out on the optimized hammer by using ANSYS software. The results showed that the new hammer satisfies the strength and stiffness requirements during working, does not resonate, and has good dynamic characteristics. The new hammer can effectively improve the performance of the hammer mill, and the research results can provide theoretical basis for the optimization design of the hammer mill.

Authors: Luna Diego , Pineda-Alfonso José Antonio , Juan-Chaparro Jara
Published: July 2024

El objetivo principal de este estudio es la comprensión del ethos característico de las escuelas concertadas y privadas de confesión católica en España. A tal fin, se analizan las observaciones registradas por el profesorado en formación que realizó sus prácticas en ellos, en el marco del Máster Universitario en Formación del Profesorado de la Universidad de Sevilla (España). Se emplea un procedimiento analítico basado en la combinación de técnicas lexicométricas con la configuración de un sistema de categorías emergentes. La categoría La singularidad y la estética de la distinción, en la que se centra este trabajo, refleja la existencia de un conjunto de estrategias y tópicos discursivos que definen y articulan las identidades promovidas hoy por las escuelas católicas.
"Cada like es un migrante menos en nuestro país”: Estudio del discurso xenofóbico en México en un corpus de YouTube
Authors: Sánchez Barrera Ana Ruth , Rodríguez Sánchez Ignacio
Published: July 2024

Este estudio descriptivo de los discursos sobre migración centroamericana se sirve de la Teoría de Activación Léxica (Hoey 2005) para encontrar los usos ideológicos que se hallan tras el patrón lingüístico . Esta exploración se lleva a cabo con materiales de un corpus compuesto por los comentarios a videos aparecidos en la plataforma YouTube sobre las caravanas migrantes que cruzan México en su trayecto hacia EEUU. Los resultados señalan usos concretos y metafóricos que, en su mayoría, apoyan discursos nacionalistas mexicanos en contra de migrantes centroamericanos. La agrupación semántica de los verbos que acompañan ese patrón señala los temores (fobias, prejuicios) que los usuarios de plataformas manifiestan hacia los migrantes.
Comunicación sostenible de conocimiento en contextos presenciales y/o digitales
Authors: DE BARROS CAMARGO CLAUDIA
Published: July 2024

El presente libro promueve el desarrollo de competencias de comunicación y la reflexión crítica para la generación y la divulgación de conocimiento sostenible, es decir, el conocimiento que fomenta el progreso económico global, respetando la diversidad social y conservando el medioambiente. En este sentido, se describen prácticas de enseñanza de escritura argumentativa científica en contextos digitales-multilingües, destacando la necesaria evaluación de esta tanto en la Universidad como en la Educación Secundaria. Asimismo, se explora la neurodidáctica como fundamento para la comunicación inclusiva y multilingüe, y la formación docente en estos aspectos. También se abordan la traducción digital visual y la audiodescripción, como competencias para impulsar la comunicación intercultural. Inclusión, multilingüismo e interculturalidad son los ejes esenciales del respeto a la diversidad social que promulga el conocimiento sostenible. Además, se subraya que la sostenibilidad ha de estar presente en todos los sectores culturales en los que se difunde conocimiento, tales como la literatura, la historia, la gestión institucional, etc. Los datos tanto escritos como visuales permiten despertar la conciencia sostenible social, económica y medioambiental, contrastando situaciones pretéritas, imaginarias o posibles con el pensar, sentir y actuar del momento actual. En definitiva, la comunicación argumentativa escrita, en diferentes niveles educativos y en distintas disciplinas, es la herramienta básica de reflexión y critica que posibilita la generación y difusión el conocimiento para la sostenibilidad.
