Published: May 2024

Creating a green and sustainable ecosystem needs to reduce carbon emissions from our plane, this may possible by reducing the usage of fossil fuel-powered vehicles and moving towards electric vehicles (EVs). EVs can be charged either in stationary mode or dynamic mode. By the static charging mode, fully charged EVs can’t travel too far. To extend its range, it will need more batteries. EVs have the possibility of using dynamic wireless charging to enhance their range and minimize the necessity of large battery packs. This paper reviewed a comparison of the different WPT techniques, transmitter coil designing for the dynamic wireless power transfer (DWPT). The air gap between the transmitter coil and receiver coil is responsible for the variation in coupling coefficient and also for the mutual inductance, which is represented. When the EV is in motion on the transmitter track then the EV’s speed and misalignment affect the DWPT system, which is also reviewed. This paper included Modelling and simulation of dynamic wireless power transfer in MATLAB/SIMULINK work and power transfer calculation for EV with 10KWh battery pack in the dynamic condition are also represented.

Authors: Gagrai Sanjeev Kumar , Singh Madhu
Published: May 2024

This Paper deals with the steady state model of DFIG in synchronously rotating (d-q) reference frame. The important mathematical formulas have been derived, which includes electromagnetic torque, active and reactive power of stator as well as rotor. The performance analysis of torque and different power over slip is investigated in MATLAB environment. It has been found that the DFIG operating characteristics are depended on both stator and rotor d-q components of voltages. The stator voltage and frequency at gride are required to be maintained constant, therefore the rotor voltage excitation plays important role to get desired slip or torque. In this paper mathematical coding of different characteristics of DFIG is developed in MATLAB. The effect of rotor voltage excitation (d-q) on the DFIG performance is simulated and analysed extensively to identify the stable operating zine.

Authors: Sahoo Ratneswar , Kumari Pooja , Kumar Niranjan
Published: May 2024

Restructuring has swept through all potential fields in recent decades, including the electric supply industry. Restructuring has resulted in significant changes, such as the fact that power is now a commodity and has become deregulated. In such a competitive industry, there are a plethora of participants. Overloading transmission networks or network congestion have come from the emergence of deregulated electricity systems. Congestion has significant consequences for electricity systems, including system failure. When transmission networks fail to transfer power in accordance with load demand, congestion occurs. Congestion management methods, which play a major part in today’s deregulated electricity systems, are used to address these issues. Furthermore, the open access transmission network has aggravated the issue of congestion. As a result, power system congestion management is critical to the power sector. The relevance of each proposed method or technique in relieving congestion and minimizing system operating expenses is reviewed in this paper using the work of various publications.

A STRAIGHTFORWARD PROCEDURE FOR PREDICTING SPLICE LOSS FOR THE FIRST MODE OF HIGHER ORDER OF A PARABOLIC PROFILE FIBER IN THE PRESENCE OF THIRD ORDER NONLINEARITY
Authors: Rakshit Ramkrishna , Majumdar Angshuman
Published: May 2024

In this study involving the first mode of higher order (LP11) in Kerr pattern nonlinear fiber, we report mathematical methods for estimating the coefficient of transmission at the splice, when possible, inconsistency like transverse and angular are present there. In this context, we use a simple power series equation for LP11 mode for parabolic index profile. The said expression has been derived by Chebyshev formalism. Iteration approach is used on the analytical mathematical terms to achieve the said attributes when there is third-order nonlinearity. This has been established that our results agree closely with the simulated exact results, which are derived using the complicated finite element technique. As a result, the proposed simple and accurate method provides a huge potential for study of other propagation characteristics in double mode fibers.

Published: May 2024

Sensor downsizing, as well as advancements in wearable technology, embedded software, digital signal processing, and biomedical technologies, have caused the emergence of user-centric networks, in which devices may be carried in the user’s pockets and connected to the user’s body. Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology has a lot of potential in wireless body sensor networks (WBSNs).Due to its small size, low transmission power, and high data rate UWB technology will be very good for WBSNs. Ultra-wideband antenna is one of the crucial components for WBSNs and it will be integrated with the wearable sensor system. The UWB antennas’ parameters change when attached to the human body, which needs to be investigated before developing the wearable system. Another unlisencedband according to FCC is Ultra Wideband frequency range which covers from 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz. However, there are other frequencies between 5 GHz to 6 GHz for some other applications within this range. As a result, a band notch in the UWB frequency range is necessary to avoid conflict with these frequencies.A good approach is to design an efficient UWB antenna using band-notch technology. The antenna design and performance investigation of an Ultra Wideband band-notch antenna for WBSNs is presented in this research. FR4 substrate material has been used in the proposed design. The Antenna’s free space and on-body behavior are both researched and assessed. To examine the on-body performance, the antenna is placed on a human torso phantom. This antenna’s free space and on-body simulation results were compared. The performance characteristics of the antenna are also tested by moving the antenna away from the human body at different distances. Key antenna characteristics such as return loss response, gain, impedance bandwidth, efficiency, and radiation pattern are extensively examined for better comparisons.Its small size, unique form, perfect band-notch feature, and excellent on-body behavior make it ideal for wireless body sensor networks in healthcare division applications.

Authors: Mandal Ratan , Chowdhury Kunal
Published: May 2024

Land is a big issue in population dense country like India to implement large scale PV plant, whereas Grid-tied PV system is more economic than off- grid system in long run. The solar energy mission of the country will be success- ful if more and more small-scale rooftop plant will be developed. To address this issue and to find out different aspects of small-scale rooftop grid-tied PV plants, a 1kWp rooftop grid-tied PV plant is developed and different aspects of the plant on changed climate condition are studied. The study on the plant performance revealed that panel efficiency, inverter efficiency and overall system efficiency are 12.55%, 94.94% and 11.86% respectively. Array Yield, Reference Yield and final Yield of the plant are found to be 4.74,5.002 and 4.45 respectively. Also, authors analyzed capture loss, system loss and performance ratio are found to be 0.262,0.29 and 0.89 respectively. Reduction of the overall plant efficiency due to dust accumulation over the panels with changed climate condition is 0.6% for lower radiation levels and 1.6% for higher radiation levels after 4 consecutive non-cleaning days in Kolkata. Overall efficiency drops to 6.45% from 12.545% for continuous 60 non- cleaning days. From the environmental point of view the plant generates around 1149.75 kWh of electricity and fed to the grid which in turn reduces around 0.9 tons of CO2 to mix with the atmosphere annually. Apart from that the system has been compared with the simulation study in PV sol soft- ware and the production forecast, panel temperature and performance ratio has been carried out for annual basis. The payback period of the plant is evaluated as 11 years which is far less than the total life span of the plant which is 25 years. So, the results from the study sound positive for small scale grid-tied rooftop plants.

Published: May 2024

Developing effective tuberculosis drugs is hindered by mycobacteria’s intrinsic antibiotic resistance because of their impermeable cell envelope. Using benzothiazole compounds, we aimed to increase mycobacterial cell envelope permeability and weaken the defenses ofMycobacterium marinum, serving as a model forMycobacterium tuberculosis. Initial hit, BT-08, significantly boosted ethidium bromide uptake, indicating enhanced membrane permeability. It also demonstrated efficacy in theM. marinum–zebrafish embryo infection model andM. tuberculosis-infected macrophages. Notably, BT-08 synergized with established antibiotics, including vancomycin and rifampicin. Subsequent medicinal chemistry optimization led to BT-37, a non-toxic and more potent derivative, also enhancing ethidium bromide uptake and maintaining synergy with rifampicin in infected zebrafish embryos. Mutants ofM. marinumresistant to BT-37 revealed that MMAR_0407 (Rv0164) is the molecular target and that this target plays a role in the observed synergy and permeability. This study introduces novel compounds targeting a new mycobacterial vulnerability and highlights their cooperative and synergistic interactions with existing antibiotics.

Two derivatives of imidazolinones, specifically DMPI {(Z)-5-(4-(dimethylamino)benzylidene)-2-methyl-3-(pyridin-3-ylmethyl)-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-one} and MMPI {(Z)-5-(4-methoxybenzylidene)-2-methyl-3-(pyridin-3-ylmethyl)-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-one} are reported which were synthesized under reflux conditions. Both the ligands are characterized with different analytical techniques including NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, IR Spectroscopy. The subsequent elucidation of their solid-state structures was achieved through the single crystal X-ray diffraction method, providing detailed insights into their molecular arrangements. In the crystalline lattice, the asymmetric unit of DMPI comprises a solitary DMPI molecule, whereas MMPI reveals a more intricate arrangement with four molecules within its asymmetric unit. Various types of supramolecular interactions such as C–H…O, C–H…N, C–H…π and π…π interactions are observed in the x-ray structures where a trifurcated C-H…O bonds are also observed in both the ligands. All these interactions guide the formation of 3D supramolecular architecture in the solid-state of both compounds. Besides these, the 2D-fingerprint (2D-FP) and Hirshfeld surface analysis (HSA) computations were served to prove and quantify various supramolecular interactions within the crystal lattice.

Awarding academic titles as a public service: Optimization of administrative procedures and transition to a digital model
Authors: Pakhomov Sergey , Petrov Mikhail , Velichko Darya
Published: May 2024

The transition to a digital model of providing the public service of conferring academic titles implies fundamental changes in this public institution, which are associated with both the need to make a technological map for digitizing the service and optimization of the very procedure for awarding academic titles. The paper discusses technological and institutional aspects of providing the public service of conferring academic titles in a digital form. The theories of public administration and public services, digitalization, jurisprudence and project management constitute the methodological framework of the article. The classical research methods, such as analysis and synthesis, are used. The empirical data are obtained through integration of the legal acts regulating the principles and mechanisms for rendering public services and conferring academic titles with the project documents of the Department of Scientific and Scientific-Pedagogical Workers Certification of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation. We indicate the need to legalize the procedures for initiating the nomination of an applicant for academic titles and justify the attribution of academic titles to the academic rights of scientific and scientific-pedagogical workers. Special focus of the study is on the reorganization of the academic titles institution and its role in assessing scientific qualifications and developing academic career. We address the controversial issue of granting the leading universities the right to independently confer academic titles (transition to a hybrid format) and emphasize the importance of balance between local and centralized regulation. In prospect the initiative to update the quantitative requirements and criteria for applicants for academic titles should be a key tool in revising the content of academic titles.

Published: May 2024

Role clarity and workplace autonomy are always considered a dilemma for employees to perform better to achieve their desired targets, which can affect organizational performance. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of role clarity and work autonomy on the performance of employees with the mediating influence of organizational commitment. Classical organization theory and role theory constitute the methodological framework of the study. Structural equation modelling and confirmatory factor analysis were used as research methods. Data is gathered from 311 employees of five different multinational telecommunication organizations operating in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Islamabad and Rawalpindi City, Punjab, Pakistan through a convenience sampling. We used AMOS for data analysis. The research results revealed that role clarity and work autonomy have a significant positive effect on the work performance of individuals. Similarly, organizational commitment demonstrated the partial mediation between the association of role clarity and work autonomy with work performance among employees of multinational telecommunication organizations. Employees who are uncertain about their job responsibilities are unable to be engaged and motivated at work. Organizations, therefore, should eradicate role ambiguities and conflicts to boost staff commitment by propping a clear role for the enhancement of work performance. This research extends the role theory, and our findings can give companies insights into how to customize autonomy levels for maximum productivity.

Published: May 2024

Hypertension causes atherosclerosis which can cause occlusion resulting in subchondral ischemia, which causes the exchange of nutrients and gases into the articular cartilage, which is disrupted and becomes the potential initiator of degradative changes or the so-called osteoarthritis. This review aims to evaluate the effect of antihypertensive drug interactions with NSAIDs on blood pressure. This article review was conducted using a narrative review study. The inclusion criteria in this article are the pharmacodynamic interaction of antihypertensives with NSAIDs in hypertensive patients with osteoarthritis. The results obtained seven articles that meet the inclusion criteria. Hypertensive patients with osteoarthritis receive medications that must be monitored because a drug-drug interaction can decrease the effectiveness of antihypertensives. One of the most widely used drugs in antihypertensive therapy is ACEi, but NSAIDs inhibit the antihypertensive effect on prostaglandin synthesis resulting from bradykinin production. The decrease in blood pressure stimulated by bradykinin plays an essential role in vasodilatation. The interaction of ACEi and NSAIDs can cause an increase in blood pressure with a minimum expansion of 1.1 mmHg. Still, when administering NSAIDs with CCBs, a decrease in blood pressure of 2.86 mmHg is obtained because the action is not dependent on prostaglandins. Based on the results, there were pharmacodynamic changes for both antihypertensive drugs and NSAIDs due to drug interactions that affected the patient's clinical outcome in the form of blood pressure.

Authors: Sanjay Bhushan
Published: May 2024

The complex dynamics of constructive resonance are the main topic of this quantum physics study, along with its implications for matter generation, the unification of quantum and classical knowledge, and important technological developments. Space-time is conceptualized in terms of an interwoven fabric in which both linear and non-linear patterns are recorded in an information field. According to this paradigm, basic particle interactions that result in the development of the material universe are referred to as "Constructive Resonance Waves." A five-dimensional cosmos is shaped by the introduction of Cosmic Information (CI), which is essential since it is a basic base vector related to the dimensions of space and time. The Resonance-Induced Information Force Field (RIIFF) and Constructive Resonance are two new theoretical concepts that are introduced in this paper.

Published: May 2024

Objective: Alazami syndrome (AS) is an infrequent genetic disorder inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, characterized by the presence of multiple congenital abnormalities. This study explores a case of a 4-year-old girl with AS, examining symptoms, genetic factors, and treatment efficacy. Case report: A 4-year-old girl, born to consanguineous Jordanian parents, displayed dysmorphic features including low birth weight, microcephaly, hyperthyroidism, short stature, blue sclera, triangular-shaped face, deep-set eyes, narrow palpebral fissures, and a prominent forehead. Examination revealed height (92 cm) and weight (7.7 kg) below the 5th and 3rd percentiles respectively. Blood tests and renal ultrasound were normal. Whole exome sequencing (WES) identified a homozygous eight-base pair deletion within exon 5 of the LARP7 gene on chromosome 4q25, confirming the diagnosis of AS, an autosomal recessive disorder. This variant induces frameshift mutations leading to premature stop codons, suggesting a probable mechanism of illness via loss of function. Treatment involving growth monitoring and therapy led to significant improvements in height, weight, and communication skills within three months. Conclusion: We describe a rare autosomal recessive AS case due to consanguinity, with a frameshift mutation in the LARP7 gene found via WES. Our AS treatment program effectively alleviates symptoms and enhances developmental progress.
El rezo en los sermones de Luis de Valdivia (1621): cambio enunciativo para el proyecto de conversión mapuche
Authors: Cancino Cabello Nataly , Astorga Poblete Daniel Esteban
Published: May 2024

Para la cristianización de los mapuches del centro-sur del actual territorio chileno, el jesuita granadino Luis de Valdivia creó un proyecto discursivo, del cual forma parte su obra Sermón en lengua de Chile (1621). En este texto, se produce un cambio enunciativo al insertar otro tipo textual: rezo u oración cristiana. Estos incisos intensifican las dimensiones interactiva y dialógica propias del sermón, y se emplean como un recurso al servicio de un proyecto para la modificación de las creencias y de las conductas indígenas. Al mismo tiempo, tienen una función didáctica y pedagógica, ya que ofrecen al posible (nuevo) enunciatario mapuche una vía para hacerse cristiano, mediante la cual el autor pretende motivar el abandono de la adscripción étnica originaria; por otra parte, también son un modelo para que los nuevos misioneros cristianicen a los mapuches.

Authors: Munita Felipe , Torres Camila
Published: May 2024

El presente artículo se sitúa en el campo disciplinar de la didáctica de la literatura, concretamente, en la línea de investigaciónsobre enseñanza de la poesía. Se presenta una investigación cualitativa, cuyo objetivo es el de relevar diversas manifestaciones de la relación con la poesía de una muestra de alumnado adolescente, en el marco de tres secuencias didácticas desarrolladas en dos centros educativos de Valdivia (Chile). Los datos corresponden a las producciones realizadas por las y los estudiantes durante las secuencias, de las cuales se seleccionaron aquellas producciones que fuesen representativas para mostrar diversas formas de expresar las relaciones de sentido y de significado que los estudiantes elaboran sobre la poesía. Para presentar los resultados, se identifican tres grandes grupos: producciones escritas, producciones multimodales y producciones que avanzan hacia lo performático. Los hallazgos sugieren que, cuando se proponen secuencias didácticas desarrolladas desde los nuevos enfoques de educación poética, el alumnado es capaz de construir potentes relaciones de sentido con los poemas leídos.
Introduction: The Flesh of Justice in Latin America = Introducción: La Carne de la Justicia en América Latina
Authors: Bacigalupo Ana Mariella , Manrique Carlos A. , McAllister Carlota
Published: May 2024

Abstract: The introduction to this special issue, "Subversive Religion and More-than-Human Materialities in Latin America," conceptualizes the transformative force of practices often gathered under the rubric of "popular religion," including Indigenous, Black, and campesino ritual as well as vernacular Catholicism and Pentecostalism. Rather than treating these practices as manifesting an essential alterity to either the modern state or the "West," we frame them as struggles to build a new world order both against and otherwise than frameworks. Exploring the materiality of these struggles across several dimensions—of the earth, of religious objects and rituals, and of the sovereign body—we describe the constitution of what we call the "flesh of justice" and probe its subversive effects. Drawing on the distinctive tradition of Latin American Marxism to contest the separation of the subaltern "otherwise" from the domain of modern politics, we offer two analytics for engaging with the flesh of justice in Latin America: subversive cosmopolitics and theopolitics. Resumen: La introducción a este número especial sobre "Religión subversiva y materialidades más-que-humanas en América Latina" conceptualiza la fuerza transformadora de prácticas muchas veces nombradas como "religión popular", incluyendo rituales indígenas, negros o campesinos, así como catolicismos o pentecostalismos vernáculos. En lugar de tratar estas prácticas como manifestaciones de una alteridad esencial frente al estado moderno o al "Occidente", las entendemos como luchas para construir un nuevo orden mundial en contra de y también de otro modo que esos marcos. Al explorar la materialidad de estas luchas en varias dimensiones—de la tierra, de los objetos y rituales religiosos, y del cuerpo del soberano—describimos la constitución de lo que llamamos la "carne de la justicia" e indagamos en sus efectos subversivos. Recurriendo a la tradición distintiva del marxismo latinoamericano para rechazar la segregación de la "otredad" subalterna de la política moderna, ofrecemos dos analíticas para aprofundizar en la carne de la justicia en América Latina: la cosmopolítica subversiva y la teopolítica.
The Work Of Grace and the Problem of the Social in a Dam Conflict in Chilean Patagonia = La Obra de la Gracia Y el Problema de lo Social en un Conflicto de Represas en la Patagonia Chilena
Authors: McAllister Carlota
Published: May 2024

Abstract: This paper deploys an anthropological concept of "theopolitics" to reflect on the political work done and undone by the action of grace during a dam conflict in the Aysén region of Chilean Patagonia. Exploring procedural affinities between the state's instruments for regulating environmental conflict and theories of assemblage that trace relations to overcome Western ontologies, I suggest that their convergent demand for relations to be rendered visible as the condition of environmental justice violated the ethic of gratuity through which Ayseninos participate in collective life on the Patagonian frontier. Instead of arguing for a better capture of grace within accounts of sociality, I suggest that researchers accompanying anti-extractive struggles should attend to how untraceable but nonetheless highly effective forces like grace convene coalitions for environmental justice and thus to the theopolitical conditions of staging challenges to the state and capital in Latin America. Resumen: Este trabajo antropológico conceptualiza la "teopolítica" para investigar la acción de la gracia en un conflicto de represas en la región patagónica de Aysén, Chile. Yuxtaposicionando los procedimientos del estado chileno para regular los conflictos ambientales con teorías de ensamblaje que rastrean relaciones para representar ontologías alternativas a la occidental, sugiero que su convergencia en condicionar la justicia ambiental en la visibilización de las relaciones viola la ética de gratuidad con la cual participan los ayseninos en la vida colectiva de la frontera patagónica. En lugar de abogar por una mejor captura de la gracia, propongo que los investigadores que acompañan las luchas antiextractivas latinoamericanas presten más atención la participación de fuerzas no rastreables pero no obstante muy eficaces, como la gracia, en convocar movimientos para la justicia ambiental y, así mismo, a las condiciones teopolíticas de los desafíos al estado y al capital en Latinoamerica.
The Invention of COVID-19 in the Andean Valleys of Argentina: Between Strength and Apocalypse = La Invención Del Covid-19 En Los Valles Andinos De Argentina: Entre La Fuerza y El Apocalipsis
Authors: Viotti Nicolás , Bartl Bárbara
Published: May 2024

Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has produced controversies, and its mode of concrete social existence is strongly assembled in multiple ways of world-making that mobilize particular human-non-human relations. This paper analyzes the ways in which the people of the Andean valleys of northwestern Argentina understand and live the pandemic, in the partial coexistence of ways of understanding the body, the person, and wellbeing. On the one hand, we identify the so-called traditional way of life, which implies a relational sociality; on the other hand, the Pentecostal way of life, which promotes an interpretative current under an apocalyptic key. In sum, we are interested in thinking about the coexistence and assembly between ways of living suffering and well-being in the context of the pandemic, associated with expanded and relational socialities and with ways of imagining and living the "end of the world" as aspecific manifestation of the Pentecostal tradition. Thus, the article proposes to overcome the perspective of COVID-19 as a given and universal phenomenon that produces different interpretations or cultural fictions, and consider it as a component in a wide network of human and non-human agencies, forming a scenario of epistemic plurality. Resumen: La pandemia de COVID-19 ha producido controversias variadas y su modo de existencia social se encuentra fuertemente ensamblado en múltiples for-mas de hacer mundo que movilizan particulares relaciones entre humanos-no humanos. Este trabajo analiza los modos en que la gente de los valles andinos del noroeste argentino entiende y vive la pandemia, teniendo en cuenta las for-mas de entender el cuerpo, la persona y el bienestar. Considera tanto el modo de vida identificado como tradicional, que implica una socialidad relacional, y el del pentecostalismo, que fomenta una corriente interpretativa bajo una clave apocalíptica. En suma, se propone pensar la convivencia y ensamblaje entre formas de vivir el padecimiento y el bienestar en el contexto de la pandemia, asociados con socialidades ampliadas y relacionales y con modos de imaginar y vivir el "fin del mundo" como manifestación específica de la tradición pentecostal. De este modo, se entiende al COVID-19 más que como un fenómeno dado y universal que produce diferentes interpretaciones o ficciones culturales, como un componente en una red amplia de agenciamientos entre humanos y no humanos, conformando un escenario de pluralidad epistémica.
