Published: November 2024

A significant portion of the data used for different purposes includes location information. As a result, there is an increasing effort to find a general framework by utilizing crucial technological drivers. Similarly, as geospatial data becomes more accessible; the possibilities for changing scientific discoveries and methods in modern society are endless. Naturally, many applications depend on the accurate and efficient geospatial data processing. However, using the traditional method to process and compute geospatial data frequently presents several difficulties. The explanation for this is the large volume, heterogeneity, and distributed nature of these data. Consequently, it is imperative to implement contemporary techniques that can manage the computational and analytical demands of this massive amount of geospatial data. Many of these systems—particularly those related to High-Performance Computing (HPC) technology—have been described in the literature. Therefore, the goal of this article is to review the application of HPC technology to big data processing in geospatial applications. The review's findings show that predictive data science tools like parallel and grid computing are available in geographic big data applications, enabling quick and effective processing that will help create a sustainable ecosystem. Also, the efficient management of large data sets requires storage, visualization, analytics, and analysis. Of course, this review demonstrated how recent advancements in computing have impacted geospatial data handling.

Published: November 2024

As India sets its sights on becoming a developed' nation by 2047, empowering women lies at the heart of this challenge. Women empowerment and socio-economic development go hand in hand, as development alone cannot address gender inequalities. Amartya Sen coined the term "missing women" to highlight ongoing gender disparities globally. With women lagging behind on several parameters of well-being, India must adopt key policies to propel the country towards gender parity in socio-economic outcomes. The term “Feminism” was first coined in the 19th century in association with the women’s suffrage movement and it depicted its relevancy that women should have a right to freedom and in 20th century it believed that men and women posses equal rights. It is always a debatable statement that feminism is all about women’s rights, it is about equality regardless of gender. Gender based study and its discrimination which is borne by women is different for each and every chapter varies. The experience of women who is independent depends on her caste, race, culture, religion, ethnicity and most important her physical ability.

Transforming Traditional Photovoltaic Panels into Thermal/ Photovoltaic Panels Incorporating Composite-Phase Change Materials
Authors: Ahmed Mustafa K. , Khalifa Abdul Jabbar N.
Published: November 2024

Solar panels are constantly evolving, with changes occurring in the materials used, panel shapes, and the method used to attach solar cells to the panels. Solar radiation consists of two components: photovoltaic energy, which is used to generate electricity via photovoltaic panels, and thermal energy, which, on the other hand, can reduce the efficiency of photovoltaic panels. Thermal photovoltaic panels are a recent breakthrough in the industry as they use light to generate energy and heat to reheat cryogenic liquid for a variety of purposes. One subtype that is gaining popularity is hybrid photovoltaic thermal panels, which are designed to enhance heat use by adding a heat storage medium, with phase change materials being a noteworthy example. ​ Despite their numerous benefits, these materials have limited heat conductivity, necessitating substantial research efforts to improve this attribute. However, most research focus solely on enhancing conductivity without applying the findings to PV panels in a comprehensive manner. This study fills this gap by reviewing the phase change materials accessible locally, picking Iraqi wax, researching additions, selecting micro- particles of aluminum oxide (Al2O3), investigating the mixing procedure, and calculating the ideal mixing ratio (6% additive to wax). The combination is then placed to a normal solar panel, resulting in a hybrid photovoltaic panel with a complicated phase transition material reinforced with aluminum oxide.

Published: November 2024

Specimens with the structure of a face-centered cubic were produced using several sets of printing conditions. An experimental testing is conducted to carefully evaluate the microstructural analysis and compressive strength of this structure. The results include the measurement of mechanical properties, such as the peak stress. Fused deposition modeling is employed for the additive manufacturing of experimental specimens made from shape memory polymer thermoplastic polyurethane (MM-3520). We take into account the impact of printing factors on lattice structures, such as layer thickness, printing temperature, and printing speed. Analyzing the microstructure of the printed specimens exhibits that the specimens with highest printing temperature, lowest printing speed and thinner printing layer have better layers adhesion and lower porosities. All the mechanical tests are performed on specimens with the same structure and at a relatively constant density. Among the tested printing parameters, using a layer height of 0.1 mm, a printing temperature of 230 °C, and a printing speed of 20 mm/s yields the highest strength in the specimens. However, specimens printed with a layer height of 0.2 mm, a printing temperature of 220 °C, and a printing speed of 30 mm/s also exhibit good strength, albeit slightly lower than the maximum values. Additionally, when using these specific settings (0.3 mm – 210 °C – 40 mm/s), the mechanical qualities are minimized, yet the stress-strain curves exhibit characteristics similar to elastomers.

Published: November 2024

A promising area of application of micro- and nanosized magnetic particles is the creation of magnetorheological materials in which such particles are a component of a complex dispersed phase. Of greatest importance is the high shear stress in suspensions based on magnetic particles when a magnetic field is applied, as well as low value of the coercive force. The aim of the work was to study the structure, morphology, and magnetic properties of barium aluminoferrite powders, and to evaluate their effectiveness in magnetic fields by the rheological properties of magnetorheological fluids fabricated using them. Barium aluminoferrite BaAl2Fe10O19 of hexagonal structure was synthesized by the citrate sol-gel method. Using the methods of X-ray phase analysis, scanning electron microscopy, IR spectroscopy, magnetometry, its structural and microstructural features, and magnetic properties were studied. The powder had a maximum specific magnetization M = 20.4 A × m2/kg and a coercive force Hc = 4.8 kOe (at 300 K). The high shear stress (3.5 kPa) at a relatively low magnetic field induction (625 mT) makes it possible to consider the resulting material as promising for use as an additional functional filler for magnetorheological fluids.

The reliability and correctness of the indexing results is confirmed by the satisfactory agreement between the experimental and calculated parameters of the crystal lattice, unit cell volumes, X-ray and pycnometric densities. A study of the temperature dependence of the electrical resistance of gadolinium-magnesium tellurite has established that the compound may have semiconductor properties, with a band gap ∆E = 2.64 ± 0.13 ∙ 10–2 eV. The results can be used for the synthesis and study of new derivatives of tellurium and rare earth elements and are of interest for electronic technology. X-ray characteristics of new tellurites of s-, f-elements are the starting materials for inclusion in fundamental data banks and reference books.
Significance of the liver arginase activity in the processes of detoxification, formation of thyroid status and dyslipidemia in rats with experimental peritonitis
Authors: Chepeleva E. N. , Vismont F. I.
Published: November 2024

Peritonitis is a surgical and general pathological problem, the relevance of which does not decrease despite the achievements of modern clinical and experimental medicine. Peritonitis, being one of the most severe complications  of various diseases and injuries to the abdominal organs, triggers a complex cascade of pathogenetic reactions with disruption of vital processes. The mortality rate for peritonitis is 20‒30 %, and in its most severe forms it reaches 50–80 %. High mortality is caused by endotoxemia, multiple organ failure and sepsis. To date, sufficient data have been accumulated, indicating  the importance of liver arginase in the processes of detoxification and vital activity of the body in normal conditions  and in pathology. There were reasons to believe that its activity would be significant in the pathogenesis of peritonitis. However, the elucidation of significance of the liver arginase activity in detoxification processes and in the pathogenesis  of septic conditions and peritonitis in particular has been still little studied.

The purpose of the study was to determine the significance of the liver arginase activity in the processes of detoxification, the formation of thyroid status and dyslipidemia in rats with experimental peritonitis (CLP-model).

In experiments on rats, it was found that liver arginase and nitrogen monoxide are involved in changes in the content of total cholesterol in the liver and lipoproteins in the blood serum, the level of iodine-containing thyroid hormones in the blood plasma and body temperature during CLP-peritonitis. Developing CLP-peritonitis in the conditions of liver argina- se depression by Nω-hydroxy-nor-L-arginine at a dose of 10 mg/kg is accompanied by a more pronounced inhibition  of the detoxification function of the liver, worsening changes in the content of total cholesterol in the liver and lipoproteins  in the blood serum, and the level of iodine-containing hormones in the blood plasma and contributes to the development  of secondary dislipoproteinemia.
Effectiveness of in vitro fertilization for infertility in women with euthyroid status
Authors: Zhukovskaya S. V. , Mozhejko L. F.
Published: November 2024

The influence of thyroid hormone (TSH) on the probability of pregnancy is a controversial issue in modern scientific literature, since impressive scientific data has been published lately questioning previously undoubtful fact that preconception levels of TSH must be decreased to target values not exceeding 2.5 mIU/l.

The aim of the research was to investigate the influence of elevation of TSH in the range of 2.5–4.0 mIU/l in women  on the outcomes of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures by analyzing the parameters of controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) and embryological indicators of its efficacy, as well as the percentage of pregnancy and reproductive losses.

The work was based in “Centre for Reproductive Medicine”. The study included 195 married couples that under- went IVF due to infertility. Two groups were formed: Group 1 consisted of 94 women with pre-IVF TSH ranging between 2.5–4.2 mIU/l, while Group 2 included 101 women with the initial level of TSH before the beginning of ovarian stimulation less than 2.5 mIU/l.

It was established that in women with TSH ranging between 2.5–4.2 mIU/l with normal levels of free thyroxine, embryological parameters of COS efficiency showed comparable results of follicle growth, oocyte maturation, percentage  of blastocyst formation in both groups. The efficiency of in vitro fertilization was found to be independent of the preconception TSH level if this index was in the range of 2.5–4.2 mIU/l: comparable incidence of pregnancy (60.64 and 51.49 %; p = 0.254), incidence of spontaneous abortion in the 1st trimester (15.79 and 9.62 %; p = 0.500), incidence of late spontaneous miscarriage at gestational age 12–22 weeks (3.51 and 11.54 %; p = 0.709 were observed).

Authors: Khodulev V. I. , Kabylka A. V. , Kovalev A. A.
Published: November 2024

Electrophysiological research methods, in particular late nerve conduction responses, play an important role  n the diagnosis of a number of neurogenic disorders and, in particular in lumbosacral radiculopathy. Late responses include the F-wave, H-reflex, and A-wave.

The purpose of this study was to determine the diagnostic value of late responses to tibial nerve stimulation in patients with isolated S1 radiculopathy in comparison with clinical findings. We examined 32 patients with isolated S1 radiculopathy (16 women, 16 men), their average age was 43.5 ± 9.3 years.

An electroneuromyographic study of the tibial nerve on the injured side revealed the presence of an A-wave in 20 patients (62.5 %, p < 0.001). It was significantly more often combined with tests for spinal root irritation, and its localization before the F-wave was a characteristic feature of this pathology. The analysis of the F-wave parameters showed an increase  in its duration (p = 0.001) compared to the uninjured side, and compared to the control group there was a prolongation of both duration and latency (p < 0.001). Patients with the presence of an A-wave had more pronounced changes in the duration  and latency of the F-wave on the injured and uninjured sides. When analyzing the H-reflex, it was found to be absent  in 14 (43.8 %) and decreased in amplitude in 9 (28.1 %) patients on the injured side. The absence of the H-reflex was significantly more often detected in patients with the absence of the Achilles reflex (p < 0.05). The number of patients with the presence of an A-wave did not differ from that of patients with an increased duration of the F-wave or a decrease in the amplitude of the H-reflex (p > 0.05).

Triple challenges are conditions where economic growth is low, interest rates are high, and inflation is elevated. These conditions precede a recession in economic growth, which potentially leads to a high inflation rate. This study identifies threshold values of monetary and fiscal policy as well as an effect on inflation in Indonesia. The threshold regression method was used with time series data spanning from 2013Q1 to 2023Q2. The finding showed that the monetary policy was lower than the threshold of 6.375%, indicated exchange and interest rates had a significant effect on inflation. Exceeding the threshold, there was no significant relationship between interest rates and inflation, but the exchange rate and inflation had a significant and negative correlation on inflation. The fiscal policy was lower than the threshold of IDR.18 trillion suggested for inflation, while the output gap and the budget deficit had a positive and significant effect on inflation. On the other hand, exceeding the threshold, inflation was significantly affected by the output gap and budget deficit. To control inflation and achieve economic stability, it is necessary to synergize monetary and fiscal policy carried out effectively and efficiently as well as integrated.

Dalam dunia pendidikan, teori-teori klasik sering menjadi landasan untuk memahami dan mengembangkan praktik pembelajaran. Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi kontribusi teori Edward Lee Thorndike dan Ivan Petrovich Pavlov dalam memberikan perspektif baru terhadap pembelajaran modern. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode studi literatur. Hasil analisis teori pendidikan Pavlov menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan yang besar dalam mengubah kebiasaan dan mengendalikan respon emosional melalui pengkondisian, berbeda dengan teori Thorndike yang menekankan pada pembelajaran aktif berdasarkan konsekuensi, maka implikasinya dalam praktik pendidikan modern yang melibatkan faktor kognitif, sosial, dan emosional. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa Teori pendidikan Thorndike yang menekankan koneksionisme dan Pavlov dengan pendekatan pengkondisian klasik masing-masing menggambarkan keterkaitan antara respon dan stimulus serta peran penguatan dalam membentuk perilaku. Namun, kompleksitas praktik pendidikan modern membutuhkan penggabungan teori-teori ini dengan pendekatan pembelajaran lainnya.

Indonesia is one of the countries with a very high level of biodiversity. West Kalimantan is one of the provinces with the highest level of biodiversity in Indonesia. One form of biodiversity found in West Kalimantan's forests is bintangur (Calophyllum spp.). The very high diversity of bintangur species is fascinating to be utilized as a source of learning biology, especially in the material of biodiversity and their interactions and roles. This study aimed to analyze the potential of bintangur diversity in West Kalimantan as a biology learning resource on the material of biodiversity and their interactions and roles in senior high school. This research uses the qualitative method. This research consists of two stages. The first stage is a literature review to find information related to bintangur species in West Kalimantan. In contrast, the second stage is an analysis of learning resource requirements based on the results of the literature review that has been carried out. The results of the literature review stage show that there are 27 species of bintangur in West Kalimantan, as well as their classification, main characteristics, habitats, and values to the environment and other organisms. The literature review stage results are then continued to the learning resources analysis. Six requirements must be met for learning resources: clarity of the potential availability of objects and problems raised, suitability for learning objectives, clarity of targets and their designation, clarity of information disclosed, clarity of exploration guidelines, and clarity of the results to be achieved. The analysis of learning resource requirements that have been carried out shows that the diversity of bintangur species in West Kalimantan meets the requirements of learning resources so that it can be utilized as a biology learning resource on the material of biodiversity and their interactions and roles in senior high school.

Limboto Lake is one of the lakes in Indonesia that has been degraded due to sedimentation and waste disposal, which will affect the lake ecosystem and its surroundings. This research aims to analyze the Magnetic Susceptibility in Vertical Sediments in the fish pond area of ​​Limboto Lake. Efforts must be made to trace sediment's contribution, which is controlled by lithogenic and anthropogenic components. Vertical sediment samples from Fish Ponds in Limboto Lake were taken at one point with a depth of 15 meters using an XY-1A Spindle drilling machine. This type of research uses survey techniques and laboratory tests that use rock magnetism methods, especially susceptibility parameter analysis using the Bartington MS2 susceptibility meter instrument at a low frequency of 470 Hz and a high frequency of 4700 Hz to obtain information on the concentration of magnetic minerals. The sediment samples tested did not go through preparation, such as sieving and drying, but the unsifted samples were put into the plastic holder to analyze the susceptibility magnetic parameter. The measurement results show that the low-frequency magnetic susceptibility (XLF) value ranges from 1.11 x 10-8 m3/kg to 9.68 x 10-8 m3/kg. The concentration of magnetic minerals in this sample contains paramagnetic minerals, and based on the XFD % value, which ranges from 0.206% to 4.714% with an average value of 1.170%, the magnetic minerals in the samples tend to be dominated by coarse-grained non-superparamagnetic minerals (>0.03 µm) and tend to occupy stable single-domain (SSD) and multi-domain (MD) domains. Magnetic susceptibility parameters tested using sediment samples without going through a sieving process can be used to determine sediment characteristics in lake areas that tend to be controlled by anthropogenic components.
