Authors: Li Hao
Published: December 2023

In the present era, where numerous heart conditions are prevalent, the significance of monitoring cardiac electrical signals has surged within the medical realm. Within this study, we leverage Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) and Pass-transistor Logic (PTL) methodologies for crafting and refining a 4-bit absolute value detection mechanism. This mechanism serves to identify and juxtapose electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. The 4-bit absolute value detection system is bifurcated into two core segments: one for absolute value identification and the other for comparative analysis. This setup facilitates a binary input's comparison with a predetermined threshold, thereby yielding a corresponding comparative outcome. Subsequently, a meticulous assessment is conducted on the lengthiest pathway, which is then subject to refinement through gate sizing and voltage supply (Vdd) adjustments. The findings unveil a delay of 34.13tp0 and an energy dissipation of 184.832 C. The resultant 4-bit absolute value detection mechanism, borne from this research institution's efforts, emerges as an invaluable asset in the medical domain, attributed to its exceptional optimization with respect to minimal delay and energy outlay.

Investigating hydrogen production enzymes using gaming GPUs
Authors: Wang Weining
Published: December 2023

Hydrogen production is crucial to use hydrogen as an energy source. Hydrogenase, an enzyme found in green algae, plays a key role in this process. The function of an enzyme is determined by its structure, and the structure of hydrogenase suggests that certain residues in the proton transfer pathway (PTP) are critical for its function. Simulation results from the initial study support the hypothesis that mutations in these residues can alter enzymatic activity by changing the dynamics of amino acids in the proton transfer pathway. The goal of the current study was to understand which structural and geometric features of the PTP in hydrogenase affect its efficiency in hydrogen production, and to predict mutations that could improve this efficiency. To investigate the relationship between protein structure/dynamics and function in this enzyme, molecular dynamics simulations and various analysis techniques, including GPU cards and cloud computing, have been used to study eight variations of hydrogenase. Based on the data, mutations in the PTP of the protein can affect its dynamics and might be linked to changes in its efficiency. The C299A has similar structure and behavior to the normal protein, but the loss of a key sulfur atom in its structure significantly reduces its effectiveness. The charged D variant of C299 had higher activity than the neutral S variant while both had different behavior than the Wildtype. It paves way for future expansion to other variants, lengthening of simulation time, establishment of complete structure and functional relationships, and prediction of activity enhanceable amino acid in silico mutagenesis.

Published: December 2023

This study investigates the spatial electric field and band diagram of 2D photonic crystals using COMSOL simulation. This paper establishes two models to analyze the characteristics of photonic crystals. The first model involves digging seven standard round air columns from hexagonal graphene material and filling a central air column with tin oxide medium. The air columns disrupt the overall periodicity, and the electron wave function in the electric field graph is localized around the six air columns. The second model consists of six standard round tin oxide dielectric columns and a middle standard round graphene dielectric column, separated by air. The overall periodicity is disrupted, and the electron wave function in the electric field graph is localized around the six-tin oxide dielectric columns. This paper finds that disordered impurities in the 2D crystal structure can disrupt the periodicity of the lattice, leading to the localization of the electric field. These discoveries enhance our comprehension of the characteristics of photonic crystals and their possible uses in diverse domains.

Published: December 2023

In order to study the effects of low-temperature real gas effects and Reynolds number effects on the aerodynamic characteristics of typical transport aircraft, in this paper we developed a RANS simulation software suitable for simulating the low-temperature and high-pressure real gas effects of nitrogen based on the ARK equation. CHNT-1 was used as the standard model for calculation, and the reliability of the program calculation results was verified by comparing them with the experimental results at room temperature. The calculation results under different Reynolds numbers at low temperatures show that within the range of pressure and temperature involved, the effect of real gas on the aerodynamic characteristics of the transport machine is very small, and can be ignored compared to the effect of Reynolds numbers. The experimental study of low-temperature wind tunnels using nitrogen as the medium can adopt the perfect gas hypothesis.

Upaya Vita Activa dan Vita Contemplativa Hannah Arendt sebagai sebuah Tawaran atas Relativisme Nilai Karya medan Seni: Studi Kasus Pameran Indonesia Painting I: Vita
Authors: Simanjuntak Mardohar Batu Bornok
Published: December 2023

Relativisme karya dalam medan seni sudah selalu menjadi persoalan yang tidak mudah bagi agensi manapun yang terlibat, termasuk seniman, kolektor, dan galeris. Persoalan mendasarnya terletak pada mekanisme penciptaan yang menempatkan seniman dalam peran-peran fabrikasi barang mewah. Disposisi semacam ini menjadikan perupa sebagai satu titik dalam ban berjalan geliat pasar. Hannah Arendt mengingatkan bahwa transisi dari masyarakat rural ke masyarakat urban dapat menyebabkan distorsi dari agensi yang terlibat langsung dengan dunianya secara utuh (“manusia”), dan agensi yang hanya bersentuhan dengan berbagai fungsi yang diberikan oleh mekanisme eksternal-impersonal (“orang”). Situasi ini justru menegasi hakikat seniman sebagai pihak yang dapat bergerak bebas mengasumsikan peran manapun. Arendt menawarkan sebuah pendekatan biner yang bersifat komplementer – vita activa dan vita contemplativa. Pameran Indonesia Painting I: Vita Activa menjadi sebuah studi kasus untuk melihat sejauh mana gagasan Arendt tentang upaya yang mewujud dalam vita activa relevan dalam arus diskursif pewacanaan seni rupa, dan bagaimana kajian filosofis semacam ini dapat menjadi sebuah titik argumentasi yang solid untuk menilai karya.
Kritik Nietzsche Terhadap Kebahagiaan Eudaimonia Sokrates
Authors: Hendarto Yohanes Mega
Published: December 2023

Dalam paragraf keempat “Problem Sokrates”, Nietzsche mengkritik Sokrates atas rumusan “rasio = keutamaan = kebahagiaan” sebagai persamaan yang paling aneh dan bertentangan dengan naluri. Rumusan ini menyatakan, hanya dengan rasio, manusia dapat menentukan Kebenaran dan dengan begitu menjamin hidup yang berkeutamaan serta menjamin kebahagiaannya. Nietzsche melihat adanya masalah, karena dengan begitu segala macam bentuk naluri, insting, atau hasrat manusia disingkirkan demi mencapai Keutamaan dan akhirnya Kebahagiaan. Nietzsche memperlihatkan Kebahagiaan adalah perasaan munculnya kuasa atas kontradiksi dalam diri manusia. Di bagian lainnya, Nietzsche menunjukkan adanya keterikatan antara rasa sakit (pain) dan kesenangan (pleasure), yang menjadi penegasan selanjutnya bahwa tidak ada Kebahagiaan tanpa penolakan terhadap Kebahagiaan itu sendiri. Penelitian ini akan membahas etika eudaimonia yang bermula dari Sokrates dan kemudian dikembangkan oleh Platon. Selanjutnya, penulis akan memaparkan kritikan Nietzsche terhadap konsep Kebahagiaan dalam etika eudaimonia dengan mengulas konsep Kebahagiaan menurut Nietzsche.

ERKEN CUMHURİYET DÖNEMİ TÜRK MODERNLEŞMESİNE ELEŞTİREL BİR YAKLAŞIM: ŞABAN TEOMAN DURALI ÖRNEĞİ
Authors: ERGÜÇ Veysel
Published: December 2023

Bu çalışmada, Şaban Teoman Duralı’nın Cumhuriyet dönemindeki Türk modernleşmesine getirmiş olduğu eleştirel bakış açısı irdelenecektir. 16. yüzyıldan itibaren modernleşmenin salt madde temelinde yürütüldüğünü belirten Duralı, ölçülebilen, diğer bir ifadeyle nicel kılınabilen bir bakış açısının gerçeklik olarak belirdiğinden söz eder. Bahsi edilen tercihin farklı medeniyetlerden müteşekkil olan Eskiçağ Ege medeniyetine zarar verdiğini ifade eden düşünür, metafiziksel olanın da yıkıma uğradığını dile getirir. Bu anlamda Duralı, sezgi merkezindeki metafiziğin yerine salt teknik merkezindeki fiziğin, mekanizmin ve pozitivizmin tercih edildiğini söyler. Sezgi merkezindeki metafizikten yoksun modernleşmenin Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’na da sirayet ettiğini belirten düşünür, İmparatorluk dâhilinde kültür ve düşünce hayatının felce uğradığını iddia eder. Bahse konu ettiği felcin Müslümanlıktan uzaklaşmaya işaret ettiğini belirten Duralı, bu tercihin Tanzimat dönemi ile başladığını ifade eder. Düşünür, Müslümanlığa dayanan sezgi merkezindeki metafizikten yoksunluğun Cumhuriyet döneminde takip edilen politikalardan dolayı derinleştiğini dile getirir. Türk kimliğinin iki temel kaynağının Müslümanlık ve Türkçe olduğunu beyan eden Duralı, Cumhuriyet döneminde dil konusundaki siyasal tercihlerden dolayı nesiller arasındaki kültür akışının kesildiğini bildirir. Müslümanlığa ilişkin olan kültürün de bu durumdan münezzeh olmadığını ileri sürer. Bahis konusu durumun şahsiyet kaybını beraberinde getirdiğini deklare eden Duralı, metafiziğin, diğer bir deyişle yeni bir zamanı muhtevasında barındıran bir kimliğin inşa edilmesini savunur. Düşünürün söz ettiği yeni kimlik, hem Doğuyu hem de Batıyı aynı anda ihtiva eden bir Avrasya metafiziğine işaret eder. Söz konusu metafiziğin Avrupa yakasında Antik Yunan ve Avrupa’nın, Asya yakasında ise İslâm dininin olacağını bildirir. Duralı açısından metafizik, ruh ve bedeni aynı anda içeren kimliğe tekabül eder.

Tarihsel süreç içerisinde etnik yapısı değiştirilmeye çalışılmış olan Dağlık Karabağ bölgesi Nahçıvan üzerinden Türkiye ile Azerbaycan arasında, dolayısıyla Türk Dünyası arasında kurulabilecek ulaşım ve enerji nakil hatları açısından stratejik bir konuma sahiptir. Dağlık Karabağ sorununun Azerbaycan lehine çözüme kavuşması ise Türk Dünyası arasında kurulabilecek kara bağlantısı açısından son derece önemlidir. İkinci Karabağ Savaşı sonrası Azerbaycan’ın topraklarının önemli bir kısmını geri alması Türk Devletleri arasında doğrudan bir kara yolu bağlantısı oluşturulabilmesine olanak sağlaması nedeniyle Türk Dünyası açısından hem önemli bir jeopolitik kazanım hem de motivasyon kaynağı olmuştur. Ancak savaşı sonlandıran anlaşma ile Rus askerlerinin barış gücü olarak bölgeye yerleşmesi ve Rusya’nın sorunun çözümünde inisiyatif üstlenerek bölge ülkelerini kendisine bağımlı kılma çabaları Türk Dünyası jeopolitiği açısından şimdilik olumsuz bir statü oluşturmuştur. Temel amacı, Dağlık Karabağ sorununun tarihsel sürecinin açıklanarak Türk Dünyası jeopolitiğinin bu bağlamda tartışılması olan çalışmada, Dağlık Karabağ sorununun tam bir çözüme kavuşturulamamasının Türk Dünyası jeopolitiğine ne gibi etkilerinin bulunduğu sorunsalına cevap aranmaktadır.

Purpose: To compare the effects of weight-based, reduced, and standard IV insulin doses on potassium reduction and hypoglycemia incidence in the treatment of acute hyperkalemia. Methods: The hyperkalemia treatment order-set was updated to include reduced and weight-based insulin dose options. Patients ≥ 18 years old with acute hyperkalemia treated with insulin using the order-set were included. Patients with missing data or who started dialysis before follow-up potassium monitoring were excluded. The primary efficacy outcome was reduction in serum potassium. The primary safety outcome was incidence of hypoglycemia and severe hypoglycemia. Secondary outcomes included insulin dose administered, completion of hourly glucose checks, and dextrose use. Results: The pre-protocol group included 60 patients and the post-protocol group included 76 patients. Potassium reduction was similar with a mean reduction of 0.9 mEq/L in the pre-protocol group and 0.85 mEq/L in the post-protocol group. The incidence of hypoglycemia was 18% in the pre-protocol group with 2% of patients developing severe hypoglycemia. The incidence of hypoglycemia was 13% in the post-protocol group with 3% of patients developing severe hypoglycemia. The mean insulin dose administered was 9.5 units in the pre-protocol group and 7.7 units in the post-protocol group. In the post-protocol group, weight-based and reduced insulin doses were administered to 84% and 13% of patients, respectively. Less than 25% of patients completed all glucose checks. Only about 50% of patients with hypoglycemia were treated with dextrose. Conclusions: Using weight-based and reduced insulin doses in the treatment of acute hyperkalemia results in comparable potassium reduction and reduced hypoglycemia incidence.

Exploring the Role of Machine Translation in Translating English Collocations into Arabic: Insights from Student Translators
Authors: Sabtan Yasser Muhammad Naguib , Omar Abdulfattah , Hamouda Wafya Ibrahim
Published: December 2023

Machine Translation (MT) has increasingly become an essential technology in the modern age. MT technology is currently used by many EFL learners as a learning facilitator. They are using MT as an essential tool to assist them in their foreign language learning activities. Several studies have focused on investigating the EFL students’ use of and attitudes towards MT in various EFL learning activities including reading, writing and vocabulary acquisition. However, few studies have been conducted on exploring the EFL learners’ use of MT technology in the translation of collocations, especially in the Arabic context. This study addresses this gap by investigating the impact of MT on the translation of English lexical collocations into Arabic. It presents a corpus of twenty English collocations given to thirty third-year translation students at an Omani university, who utilized an online MT system for their translations. Employing a descriptive, qualitative approach, the study assesses students' strategies and the accuracy of MT-generated equivalents, drawing from translation models by Vinay and Darbelnet (1958) and Newmark (1988). The results indicated that the students were able to generate correct translations for certain collocations when using MT, but there were inaccuracies in the translation of other collocations. The study emphasized the importance of not solely depending on MT because doing so might reduce students' willingness to actively search for the most appropriate translations on their own. This suggests that a balanced approach to using MT and encouraging students to develop their translation skills independently is advisable. Future research can explore the use of Machine Translation in translating collocations in languages beyond Arabic and within different cultural and linguistic contexts.
Spatial Identity: Identity through Memory and Space in John Banville’s The Sea
Authors: Samuel A Stephen , Priscilla B Evangeline
Published: December 2023

John Banville’s The Sea (2005) has its entire story drawn on memory. Through a close textual analysis, the paper examines the novel through the framework of memory. The paper is structured around the ideas put forth by the philosopher Edward S. Casey and examines how memories play a significant role in forming an identity within the individual and how memories are formed from spaces. Banville through his narrative techniques through the character indirectly presents the reality of the world. His withdrawal into the past by Max in the novel is not part of a theme but rather a unique narrative strategy employed by Banville. An individual has a sense of connection to their world with frequent interactions with the spaces around them. The research investigates how the spaces instigate the journey to the past in the character Max Morden. The sea and the house where Max spent his childhood are the spaces that aid in giving a sense of identity to Max who feels lost after the death of his wife. In a journey of searching for himself, he ends up visiting the place where he spent a holiday vacation during his childhood. It is through the engagement with these spaces and recollected memories from them that the character Max ultimately comes to a self-realization of his lost identity and in the end feels a sense of belonging to the world.

Student Perception of Bamboo Architecture (Process of Architectural Education in Indonesia)
Authors: Susanti Wiwik , Mutia Fairuz , Solin Dian Purnama
Published: December 2023

In Indonesia, bamboo is an easy-to-find building material. In addition to being valued as a plant, bamboo is also used as an alternate material in building. One example of how bamboo is evaluated from both a strength and an aesthetics perspective is the development of bamboo as a substitute material in architecture. In order for the educational system, one of which is UIA, to produce professional architects in the future, architectural education is one of the systems that will do so. The International Union of Architects has three examinations, including knowledge, design, and skills, through the APTARI Association of Indonesian Architectural Higher Education, an association for all architectural higher education in Indonesia. The bamboo architecture learning system is tested using these three factors as parameters. The research methodology combines quantitative analysis with qualitative design using the JMP 17 software to produce an overview of the UIA-related education system.
