Another method is to correlate different approaches to solve conduction and radiation problems to predict plate temperature profiles and has worked on real-time simulations of online models involving graphical user interfaces. There has been a considerable research on various modelling techniques and methodologies, such as turbulent jet flow of fuel gases, convective and radiative phenomena in furnaces, slab conduction phenomena, and weighted sum models of gray gases.
SHAPE OPTIMIZATION OF A HEAVYDUTY TRUCK CHASSIS FRAME USING CAE TOOLS
Authors: Ravindra Kumar P. , Srinu CH.
Published: June 2024

Weight plays a crucial role in automobile engines, significantly influencing riding qualities and travel cost. The chassis frame provides about twenty percent of the truck’s curb weight, making it a vital component in automobiles. Serving as the backbone of heavy vehicles, the chassis bears the maximum load for all operating conditions while providing a sturdy platform to connect the front and rear suspensions with minimal deflection. Consequently, both weight and strength are key parameters in chassis design. Extensive analysis of various research studies reveals opportunities for optimizing various parameters such as mass, stress-strain values, and deformations by adjusting the cross-sections of the chassis. Present work focuses on modeling, structural analysis, and heavy weight vehicle chassis optimization, considering the constraints like maximum stress and deformations at real maximum load. To conduct the study, we utilized the dimensions and material of the TATA 2518TC chassis frame for structural analysis. We considered three different cross-sections—C, I, and Hollow Rectangular (Box) types—using structural steel ST37 due to its known properties and availability. Next, we subjected these cross-sections to identical conditions and developed three-dimensional solid models using CAE software. Performing the analysis in ANSYS Workbench, we validated the results by employing analytical calculations involving shear force, bending moment diagrams, and stress distribution. Furthermore, standard optimization techniques are employed in Design Explorer, and Design of Experiments is used to perform several samplings on the three cross sections. The optimization process aims to achieve mass reduction while maintaining stress and deformation constraints and varying thickness variables. The findings indicate that the Channel section proves to be the most suitable among the tested cross sections, boasting a high strength-to-weight ratio. It results in a remarkable 31% reduction in weight when compared to the existing TATA 2518TC chassis frame. This insight could lead to improved performance and efficiency in heavy vehicles.

Authors: Layaq Shaheen , Manjula B.
Published: June 2024

The popularity of Oversampling techniques is increasing day by day. In this world of big data, the data is generated with high velocity, volume and unstructured. The user interested data is picked from large pool of heterogeneous data and it is in improper format. The reasons for improper data are inconsistency, redundancy, imbalance, missing data, disjunct data, overlapping and so on. Among them imbalance is the biggest problem. The sampling methods are best to overcome imbalance problem. Many sampling techniques are been defined and implemented among them oversampling techniques shows good accuracy but with high complexity. In this work a new optimistic oversampling method is introduced KMNN with combination of K-Mean and Nearest Neighbor with less and best time complexity. The imbalance data is collected and from that weaker class (less number of required samples) is picked. On that weaker class K-Mean operation is performed which generate K clusters. From each cluster a center element is identified and from that center element a nearest neighbor is identified. The required oversampled elements are generated in between center of each cluster to the nearest neighbor in equal ratio. Now the class becomes balance with less time complexity than previous proposed methods.

Published: June 2024

Ambient intelligence (AmI) places a major focus on compelling computing to reach out to and assist people. This may appear to be an intuitive assumption from computer systems, but the fact is that people have had to devote effort to specialise themselves in order to reap the benefits of computing. Enforcing this need at the centre of the domain is projected to be a key driving factor and a turning moment in the history of computer science. The technological infrastructure appears to be constantly evolving in that direction, and there is an effective atmosphere on all sides concerned: normal users/consumers of technology, technology generators, suppliers of technology, and governmental institutions, that this paradigm change is needed and feasible. In this article, we give an overview of the technologies that form ambient intelligence as well as the applications that are significantly impacted by it. We are particularly interested in research that makes AmI technology "intelligent." We also outline ethical problems that AmI researchers will confront in several domains of applications in the next years.

Efficiency and comparability of using new evidence platforms for updating recommendations: Experience with a type-2 diabetes guideline in Colombia
Authors: Villar Juan Carlos , Torres López Luz Angela , Muñoz Flórez Anamaría , Balcázar Angela Manuela , Parra-Gómez Laura , Barrera Edgar Camilo
Published: June 2024

Introduction Updating recommendations for guidelines requires a comprehensive and efficient literature search. Although new information platforms are available for developing groups, their relative contributions to this purpose remain uncertain. Methods As part of a review/update of eight selected evidence-based recommendationsfor type 2 diabetes, we evaluated the following five literature search approaches (targeting systematic reviews, using predetermined criteria): PubMed for MEDLINE, Epistemonikos database basic search, Epistemonikos database using a structured search strategy, Living overview of evidence (L.OVE) platform, and TRIP database. Three reviewers independently classified the retrieved references as definitely eligible, probably eligible, or not eligible. Those falling in the same “definitely” categories for all reviewers were labelled as “true” positives/negatives. The rest went to re-assessment and if found eligible/not eligible by consensus became “false” negatives/positives, respectively. We described the yield for each approach and computed “diagnostic accuracy” measures and agreement statistics. Results Altogether, the five approaches identified 318 to 505 references for the eight recommendations, from which reviewers considered 4.2 to 9.4% eligible after the two rounds. While Pubmed outperformed the other approaches (diagnostic odds ratio 12.5 versus 2.6 to 5.3), no single search approach returned eligible references for all recommendations. Individually, searches found up to 40% of all eligible references (n = 71), and no combination of any three approaches could find over 80% of them. Kappa statistics for retrieval between searches were very poor (9 out of 10 paired comparisons did not surpass the chance-expected agreement). Conclusion Among the information platforms assessed, PubMed appeared to be more efficient in updating this set of recommendations. However, the very poor agreement among search approaches in the reference yield demands that developing groups add information from several (probably more than three) sources for this purpose. Further research is needed to replicate our findings and enhance our understanding of how to efficiently update recommendations.
From complex diversity to multilingual citizenship: Catalonia and beyond
Authors: Kraus Peter Alfred
Published: June 2024

The article advocates adoption of the principle of multilingual citizenship to overcome unjust hierarchical relations between language groups in the context of hegemonic nation-states. It first outlines a heuristic model contrasting language-as-an-option and language-as-a-ligature to reconstruct the logic of cultural integration in the (monolingual) nation-state. Second, it shows how the implementation of this model in practice has become inextricably intertwined with structures of nationalist domination. Third, it fleshes out the concept of complex linguistic diversity to substantiate the claim that the relationship between citizenship, linguistic diversity and multilingualism must be radically redefined to transcend the monist bias built into the model of the hegemonic nation-state. Fourth, this approach is applied to the context of contemporary Catalonia, which offers a laboratory-like environment for studying the challenges of complex diversity and assessing the potential of auto-centred multilingualism for underpinning the formation of communities made up of and for equal and diverse citizens.

Authors: Wang Yiyi , Shi Lei , Zhang Jue , Chen Chen
Published: June 2024

Background: The present study aims to (1) evaluate the autoanalyser quality control (QC) module of the Kehua Polaris c2000 automatic modularised biochemical analyser and (2) verify the impact of the analyser's automatic implementation of internal QC (IQC) testing at a set time point on the results of IQC and turnaround time (TAT). Methods: For 5 consecutive days, three different methods were used to conduct IQC. Method 1: Internal QC was carried out at 8:00 every day. Method 2: The QC products were placed in the instrument calibration QC plate in the afternoon, and the instrument was set to measure the products at 7:00 the next day automatically. Method 3: The QC products were placed in the instrument calibration QC plate, and the instrument was set up for automatic measurement at 7:30 every day. All three methods were compared and evaluated. The effect of IQC on the TAT was monitored using method 2. Results: There were no statistical differences in the IQC results between methods 2 and 1. However, there were statistical differences in some items between methods 3 and 1; thus, the IQC results of method 2 can be adopted. Implementing method 2 for IQC can help achieve a significant TAT-saving of 35.23 min during the automatic retest process after the IQC indicates an out-of-control situation. This time reduction is highly valuable for improving efficiency and streamlining the testing workflow. Conclusions: Using the autoanalyser QC module of the Kehua Polaris c2000 automatic modular biochemical analysis system to perform IQC has no impact on the IQC test results and can save TAT, as well as automatically correct most out-of-control occurrences.

Authors: Jiang Li , Xu Lulian , Lu Yang , Xu Xu
Published: June 2024

Background: This work focused on the correlation between insulin resistance (IR) and blood lipids (BL) in children with simple obesity, as well as the intervention effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in weight loss in children. Methods: 80 children aged 6 to 17 years with simple obesity were selected from our hospital and randomly grouped into two groups. Children in the control (Ctrl) group underwent traditional moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT), while those in the other group received HIIT (HIIT group). After four weeks, body composition-related indicators, BL levels, and IR were measured. Results: After exercise, children in both groups possessed obvious reductions in body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (BFP), triglyceride (TG), and homeostasis model assessment of IR (HOMA-IR), demonstrating remarkable differences in contrast to those after intervention (P<0.05). The HIIT group also exhibited considerable differences in waist circumference (WC), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (P<0.05). After exercise, the HIIT group demonstrated more observable BMI, WC, TG, and HOMA-IR reductions, showing great differences with the Ctrl group (P<0.05). HOMA-IR exhibited positive correlations with TC, TG, and HDL-C but a negative one with LDL-C (P<0.05). Conclusions: HIIT improved the body composition and BL levels in children with simple obesity, downregulated HOMA-IR, and positively impacted their health status. Furthermore, IR was associated with BL-relevant indicators in children with simple obesity.

Authors: Zhao Can , Xiao Yaqiong , Xu Jianping
Published: June 2024

Objective: To figure out the incidence of postoperative thrombocytopenia among adult cases undergoing redo valvular surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and to discern its ramifications on early postoperative outcomes. Methods: A cohort comprising 188 cases undergoing redo valvular surgery with CPB between March 2018 and July 2023 was analyzed. It was attempted to stratify cases into two groups on the basis of presence of thrombocytopenia that was defined as a nadir platelet count <71 × 103/μL within 72 hours (n = 45), or absence of thrombocytopenia (n = 143). Comparative evaluation was performed concerning postoperative mortality and morbidity. Logistic regression models were employed to unveil the relationship of thrombocytopenia with clinical outcomes. Results: Thrombocytopenia manifested in 45 (23.94%) cases. Univariate analysis disclosed a significant association of percent change in platelet count with mortality (odds ratio (OR), 1.039, 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.005 to 1.074, p = 0.024), postoperative pneumonia (OR, 1.058, 95% CI, 1.023 to 1.095, p = 0.001), prolonged mechanical ventilation (OR, 1.048, 95% CI, 1.026 to 1.071, p < 0.001), extended intensive care unit (ICU) stay (OR, 1.029, 95% CI, 1.010 to 1.049, p = 0.003), protracted post-operative hospitalization (OR, 1.031, 95% CI, 1.011 to 1.051, p = 0.002), postoperative renal replacement therapy (OR, 1.042, 95% CI, 1.017 to 1.069, p = 0.001), and re-thoracotomy attributable to hemorrhage (OR, 1.040, 95% CI, 1.000 to 1.080, p = 0.047). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that thrombocytopenia, regarded as a categorical variable, was independently correlated with an escalated likelihood of prolonged postoperative hospital stay (OR, 4.926, 95% CI, 1.740 to 13.948, p = 0.003). Conclusions: Thrombocytopenia appeared to be closely linked to escalated in-hospital mortality and postoperative morbidity rates among cases undergoing redo valvular surgery employing CPB. Further investigations with larger, prospective cohorts are essential to validate these outcomes and unravel potential underlying mechanisms.

Pembelajaran Materi Perkalian Dasar dengan Menggunakan Metode Menghadirkan Matematika dalam Kehidupan Peserta Didik (MMDKP)
Authors: Firmansyah Muhamad Taufiq
Published: June 2024

The aim of writing this paper is to describe the application of the method of presenting mathematics in students' lives (MMDKP) for learning basic multiplication for grade 2 students. This MMDKP method departs from the learning theory put forward by Dienes. Dienes views mathematics as investigating structures, classifying structures, sorting out structural relationships. Dienes believes that every mathematical concept or principle can be understood correctly if the concepts or principles are presented through various concrete and varied representations. The MMDKP method aims to attract students' interest in mathematics. Because if you use the MMDKP method, there are steps that must be followed so that students do not have difficulty understanding the mathematical concepts that will be taught. These steps start from something concrete (real objects) then proceed to semi-concrete (real objects are replaced with images) and finally abstract (only in the form of numbers and symbols). This can reduce a view of mathematics that was initially very abstract to a less abstract level.

A CEFR-Oriented Probe into Culture: Implications for Language Learners
Authors: Topal Ibrahim Halil
Published: June 2024

The Common European Framework for Languages (CEFR), adopted by the Council of Europe (2001), is an action-based framework for language education, teaching and assessment in Europe. CEFR's descriptions of language skills across all skill levels can guide language learners, educators, and assessors. Alongside language-related issues, one phenomenon considered highly by the CEFR is culture – a concept intricately connected with language. Given the significance of culture and related concepts for language education, this study evaluated the CEFR and Companion Volume to draw inferences about culture and explore the possible implications for language learners. To this end, the two volumes were subjected to content analysis. Findings indicated several types of cultural awareness (n=7), knowledge (n=4), competence (n=8), and strategy (n=1) that language learners must adopt for successful cross-cultural interactions. These cultural expectations might also be considered under plurilinguistic awareness, knowledge, competence, and strategies. The study is expected to contribute theoretically and practically since it intends to bridge the literature gap. Prospective research, however, is urged to corroborate the findings. Furthermore, the study is expected to guide future studies tackling the significance of culture for language learners within the CEFR.
Appearance versus Reality: Are Youths Scared of Pregnancy than Contracting HIV/Aids? A Qualitative Analysis of Adolescent Sexuality and Pregnancy Stigma in Informal Settlements in Kakamega, Kenya
Authors: Koronya Charity , Misiko Jackson
Published: June 2024

This study explores the specific context of adolescent sexuality and pregnancy stigma in informal settlements in Kakamega, Kenya. The researchers aim to investigate if young individuals in these communities are more afraid of pregnancy than contracting HIV/AIDS. The study utilizes a qualitative approach, gathering data through focus group discussions and in-depth interviews with a sample of 90 adolescents aged 15-19 years old living in the informal settlements. Data collection was carried out through interviews that explored participants' attitudes, beliefs, and experiences related to pregnancy and HIV/AIDS. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed thematically to identify key themes and patterns. The findings of the study revealed that the majority of participants expressed more fear and stigma towards pregnancy rather than HIV/AIDS. Participants reported that getting pregnant as an adolescent brought shame and judgment from their families, peers, and community members. They described experiencing discrimination, exclusion and reduced opportunities due to being pregnant at a young age. The intensity of this fear was most acutely expressed by girls, leading some to seek unsafe, sometimes fatal, abortions and to contemplate suicide. In contrast, participants perceived HIV/AIDS as a medical condition that can be managed and treated. They mentioned that with proper education, prevention methods, and access to healthcare, they felt less fearful of contracting HIV/AIDS.

Revaluación filosófica
Authors: Martín Ferrand Daniel
Published: June 2024

Más allá de la enorme dificultad que supone de corregir los trabajos de Humanidades, la Filosofía, en el colegio o no, debe volver a su espíritu omniabarcante e incluir en su currículo textos, contenidos e ideas de “otras” disciplinas −Historia de la Ciencia, Shakespeare, Arte, etc. Asimismo, carece de sentido el trabajo filosófico que se limite a la repetición de ideas y prescinda de la auténtica reflexión del estudiante, que debe “filosofar” en cada uno de sus trabajos y exámenes.

LIBERTAD RELIGIOSA Y NUEVOS DERECHOS: UN CONFLICTO EMERGENTE
Authors: Vergara Oscar
Published: June 2024

La gestión pública del elemento religioso en nuestra sociedad occidental posmoderna plantea hoy dudas importantes. Los poderes públicos están interfiriendo sobre la libertad religiosa de sus ciudadanos, ahogando cualquier voz discrepante en los medios de comunicación oficiales y vertiendo estereotipos tan confusos como interesados. Esta controvertida gestión pública del elemento religioso se enmarca dentro de un proceso de evidente crisis religiosa. Una crisis que, marcada por un hondo relativismo, no es ajena a un laicismo combativo ante toda visibilidad de elementos religiosos en el espacio público, propiciando un clima de evidente hostilidad. Una crisis que bebe de la insensibilidad de la secularización social extrema, que pretende reducir la creencia religiosa a una simple cuestión de opinión. Una crisis que, no obstante, también plantea apasionantes retos futuros. Más aún en una sociedad marcada por el pluralismo y la diversidad, y que parece abocada hacia una nueva convivencia entre personas de diferentes creencias. La libertad religiosa es una cuestión de dignidad humana. Pero también afecta a la cohesión social, a su organización e, incluso, a la identidad, tanto de las minorías como en clave nacional. Sobre todo esto, y muchas otras cosas más, trata este libro, cuyos capítulos han sido abordados por prestigiosos especialistas procedentes de la Filosofía del Derecho y del Derecho eclesiástico.
