Authors: Mun Jisang , Kim Jinyoub , Do Yeji , Kim Hayul , Lee Chegyu , Jeong Jongpil
Published: September 2023

According to QYResearch, a global market research firm, the global market size of secondary batteries is growing at an average annual rate of 8.1%, but fires and casualties continue to occur due to the lack of quality and reliability of secondary batteries. Therefore, improving the quality of secondary batteries is a major factor in determining a company’s competitive advantage. In particular, lead taps, which electrically connect the negative and positive electrodes of secondary batteries, are a key factor in determining the stability of the battery. Currently, the quality inspection of secondary battery lead tab manufacturers mostly consists of visual inspection after vision inspection with a rule-based algorithm, which has limitations on the types of defects that can be detected, and the inspection time is increasing due to overlapping inspections, which is directly related to productivity. Therefore, this study aims to automate the quality inspection of lead tabs of secondary batteries by applying deep-learning-based algorithms to improve inspection accuracy, improve reliability, and improve productivity. We selected the YOLOv5 model, which, among deep-learning algorithms, has a benefit for object detection, and used the YOLOv5_CBAM model, which replaces the bottleneck part in the C3 layer of YOLOv5 with the Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) based on the attention mechanism, to improve the accuracy and speed of the model. As a result of applying the YOLOv5_CBAM model, we found that the parameter was reduced by more than 50% and the performance was improved by 2%. In addition, image processing was applied to help segment the defective area to apply the SPEC value for each defective object after detection.

Published: September 2023

Despite that previous research exists, there is a need for further research on the quantitative aspects of this Nexus. Existing Water-Energy-Environment Nexus management tools and frameworks are based on indicators aiming to model the whole system, analyze the involved resources, and test potential management strategies. The environmental, social, and economic consequences of actions already taken and ongoing projects require important focus because of the strong relationship between water and energy supply, and that both are key issues for society’s development and sustainability. The present research focuses on the indicators that the Water-Energy-Environment Nexus tools and frameworks use to analyze the whole problem. Existing tools often require large amounts of data, becoming a time-consuming process that lowers the capacity to evaluate the political problems of high pollutants. With the aim of accelerating time evaluation, this research builds an indicator to rapidly evaluate the Water-Energy-Environment Nexus implications of replacing fossil-based power generation systems with wind and photovoltaic renewable energy systems in the water-scarce region of the Canary Islands. This indicator allowed the rapid evaluation of storylines in a small system with well-defined boundaries. Results show that the water sustainability index improved by 6.2% in comparison to fossil-based plants, while reducing 2750 tons of CO2. Although this methodology can be easily applied in different scenarios and locations, it further development to evaluate system boundaries and to provide extensive results.
Comparison of Engine Emission Characteristics of Biodiesel from High-Acid Oil and Used Cooking Oil through Supercritical Methanol and Alkaline-Catalyst Transesterifications
Authors: Lin Cherng-Yuan , Lin Yi-Wei , Yang Hsuan
Published: September 2023

The global trend towards net-zero carbon emissions from burning fuels in combustion engines alerts us to the alternative role of biodiesel. The manufacturing cost of biodiesel hinders the fast development of various types of biofuels. Feedstock cost is one of the major determining factors of biodiesel cost and thus the extent of its competitiveness in the fuel market with other available alternative fuels or fossil fuels. Some low-cost feedstocks such as high-acid oil, which is produced from the acidifying processes of soybean soapstock, frequently contain high contents of free fatty acids (FFAs) and water. Hence, those feedstocks cannot be used to produce biodiesel through strong alkaline catalyst transesterification on an industrial scale. In contrast, the water can be converted to hydroxyl radicals to enhance the formation of esters from the dissociation of the FFA in a supercritical reacting tank. Hence, cheap high-acid oils containing high amounts of water and FFAs were used to produce biodiesel through a supercritical transesterification reaction system. The engine emission characteristics of using the biodiesel produced in this study were analyzed and compared with those of commercial biodiesel and super-low sulfur diesel (SLSD). A naturally aspirated, direct-injection, four-stroke, four-cylinder marine diesel engine associated with an eddy-current dynamometer was used to carry out the engine emission measurement. In comparison with super-low sulfur diesel (SLSD), the biodiesel had lower CO2 and CO emissions and black smoke opacity but higher emissions of O2 and NOx. The higher engine speed caused lower emissions of O2 and NOx but higher CO2 emissions. The supercritical-transesterification biodiesel appeared to be a competitive alternative fuel to fossil diesel.

Authors: González Huarte Javier , Ortiz de Zarate Maite , Ibarguren Aitor
Published: September 2023

Wire harness manufacturing in the aeronautic sector is highly manual work, with production defined by multiple references and small batches. Although complete automation of the production process is not feasible, a robot-assisted approach could increase the efficiency of the existing production means. This paper presents a novel dual-arm robotic solution for workbench configuration and cable routing during the initial steps of wire harness manufacturing. Based on the CAD information of the wire harness, the proposed framework generates trajectories in real-time to complete the initial manufacturing tasks, dividing automatically the whole job between both robots. The presented approach has been validated in a production environment using different wire harness references, obtaining promising results and metrics.

The translational research community, in general, and the Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) community, in particular, share the vision of repurposing EHRs for research that will improve the quality of clinical practice. Many members of these communities are also aware that electronic health records (EHRs) suffer limitations of data becoming poorly structured, biased, and unusable out of original context. This creates obstacles to the continuity of care, utility, quality improvement, and translational research. Analogous limitations to sharing objective data in other areas of the natural sciences have been successfully overcome by developing and using common ontologies. This White Paper presents the authors’ rationale for the use of ontologies with computable semantics for the improvement of clinical data quality and EHR usability formulated for researchers with a stake in clinical and translational science and who are advocates for the use of information technology in medicine but at the same time are concerned by current major shortfalls. This White Paper outlines pitfalls, opportunities, and solutions and recommends increased investment in research and development of ontologies with computable semantics for a new generation of EHRs.

Published: September 2023

Change and environmental trends are enormously influencing the globe. Businesses, societies, and people are all attempting to do their part to safeguard the environment. This study examines the impact of supportive leadership on organizational citizenship behavior for the environment (OCBE) and the mediating effect of psychological empowerment and affective commitment. The survey method was utilized. Data were gathered from 362 employees of the banking and pharmaceutical sectors for the present research. This research employed AMOS-SEM to analyze data and test the formulated hypotheses. The empirical results established that supportive leadership significantly influences workers’ OCBE. The results further corroborate that psychological empowerment and affective commitment mediate between supportive leadership and organizational citizenship behavior for the environment. These findings have vital implications for managers and enterprises that seek to increase their sustainability and organizational citizenship behavior for the environment. This research highlights the significant role of supportive leadership in stimulating psychological empowerment and affective commitment, which in turn affect organizational citizenship behavior for the environment. The present research broadens our understanding of leadership style and its influence on OCBE. The theoretical and managerial implications of organizational environmental sustainability and future research prospects are highlighted.
A Monotonic Early Output Asynchronous Full Adder
Authors: Balasubramanian Padmanabhan , Maskell Douglas L.
Published: September 2023

This article introduces a novel asynchronous full adder that operates in an input–output mode (IOM), displaying both monotonicity and an early output characteristic. In a monotonic asynchronous circuit, the intermediate and primary outputs exhibit similar signal transitions as the primary inputs during data and spacer application. The proposed asynchronous full adder ensures monotonicity for processing data and spacer, utilizing dual-rail encoding for inputs and outputs, and corresponds to return-to-zero (RtZ) and return-to-one (RtO) handshaking. The early output feature of the proposed full adder allows the production of sum and carry outputs based on the adder inputs regardless of the carry input when the spacer is supplied. When utilized in a ripple carry adder (RCA) architecture, the proposed full adder achieves significant reductions in design metrics, such as cycle time, area, and power, compared to existing IOM asynchronous full adders. For a 32-bit RCA implementation using a 28 nm CMOS technology, the proposed full adder outperforms an existing state-of-the-art high-speed asynchronous full adder by reducing the cycle time by 10.4% and the area by 15.8% for RtZ handshaking and reduces the cycle time by 9.8% and the area by 15.8% for RtO handshaking without incurring any power penalty. Further, in terms of the power-cycle time product, which serves as a representative measure of energy, the proposed full adder yields an 11.8% reduction for RtZ handshaking and an 11.2% reduction for RtO handshaking.

Published: September 2023

The World Health Organization recommends using chest X-ray (CXR) in active case finding (ACF) to improve case detection. This study aimed to describe the spectrum and outcomes of TB disease diagnosed through a mobile community based ACF program in Yogyakarta. This prospective cohort study included people attending a TB ACF program in Yogyakarta between 1 January 2021 to 30 June 2022. Participants ≥10 years old underwent CXR, symptom screening, and Xpert MTB/RIF testing of sputum. Subclinical TB was defined as asymptomatic active TB, whether bacteriologically confirmed or not. Treatment outcome data were obtained from the national program TB database. 47,735 people attended the ACF program; the yield of TB disease was 0.86% (393/45,938). There were 217 symptomatic cases, of whom 72 (33.2%) were bacteriologically confirmed, and 176 asymptomatic cases, with 52 (29.5%) bacteriologically confirmed. Treatment success was 70.7% with high loss to follow up (9%) and not evaluated (17.1%). Multivariate analysis demonstrated weak evidence for lower unsuccessful outcomes in symptomatic versus subclinical TB (aOR 0.6, 95% CI 0.36–0.998). TB ACF programs utilizing CXR may diagnose a high proportion of subclinical TB. Linkage to care in ACF program is important to increase successful treatment outcomes.
Effect of Zinc Addition in Filler Metal on Sacrificial Anode Cathodic Protection of Fin-Tube Aluminum Heat Exchanger
Authors: So Yoon-Sik , Park Eun-Ha , Kim Jung-Gu
Published: September 2023

This study investigated the tri-metallic galvanic coupling of different metals in the tubes, fillers, and fins of a heat exchanger. The goal was to prevent corrosion of the tubes using the fin as a sacrificial anode while ensuring that the filler metal has a more noble potential than the fin, to avoid detachment. The metals were arranged in descending order of corrosion potential, with the noblest potential assigned to the tube, followed by the filler metal and the fin. To address a reduction in protection current of the fin, the filler metal was modified by adding Zn to decrease its corrosion potential. However, increasing the Zn content of filler metal also increases its corrosion current. The study examined three different filler metals, considering their corrosion potential, and kinetics. The results suggest that a filler metal with 1.5 wt.% Zn addition is optimal for providing cathodic protection to the tube while reducing the reaction rate of the sacrificial anode.

Published: September 2023

In this paper, a new distribution is proposed by mixing the exponential distribution and the Shanker distribution with a mixing proportion being the same as those that yielded the Shanker distribution. The proposed distribution is referred to as the XShanker distribution. The distributional properties of the XShanker distribution namely, quantile function, moments and their associated measures,the mode, moment generating function, characteristic function, distribution of order statistics, and entropy are derived and studied. The reliability analysis shows that the failure rate is a strictly increasing function. The parameter of the model was estimated using the maximum likelihood function. We illustrated the usefulness of XShanker distribution using data on waiting times of 100 bank customers and vinyl chloride from clean ungradient ground-water monitoring wells in (g/L).

Sustainable development, Agenda 2030 and food security in historical perspective
Authors: Szydło Wiktor
Published: September 2023

The sustainable development (SD) concept has won substantial popularity in recent decades. At the same time, neoliberalism (the socio-economic orthodoxy since the mid-1970s) is somewhat put in the shade. The paper attempts to find out whether the SD paradigm and its recent incarnation (Agenda 2030) constitutes a decisive break from the mainstream. The second aim is to assess whether the concept of food security is adequately addressed by the Agenda 2030. The study shows that Agenda 2030, with its 17 Sustainable Development Goals, is a much broader concept than preceding MDGs, but it still cannot guarantee the attainment of food security both in the short-term (the risk of commodity price bubbles) and in the longer-term (i.e. till 2030) due to the prevalence of extreme poverty, high-income inequality, structural weakness of many developing countries and inadequate global regulation.
Barriers influencing purchase behaviour of green personal care products – integrating innovation resistance theory perspective and stages of change model
Authors: Szaban Marta , Stefańska Magdalena
Published: September 2023

The study aimed to identify and explain perceived barriers to green consumption at different stages of behaviour change by integrating the Innovation Resistance Theory (IRT) and Stages of Behavioural Change (SOC) model. Through 20 in-depth interviews with consumers transitioning to green consumption at various stages, several barriers were identified. The knowledge barrier played a crucial role in shaping the adaptation process at every stage of change and was recognized as an independent construct within the IRT framework. Moreover, the research revealed that barriers such as tradition, value, usage, and risk exerted a stronger inhibitory effect in the early stages of green consumption, while knowledge and image barriers evolved and had a distinct impact as consumers progressed through the stages. The study also highlighted triggers that positively stimulated green consumption. These findings have implications for green marketing and can guide targeted interventions to promote sustainable consumption more effectively.

Published: September 2023

The article addresses the topic of road safety. The reduction of road accident injuries and fatalities fits in with Agenda 2030 sustainable development goals. The objective of the research was to assess road accidents caused by voivodships. The analysis took account of the socio-economic differences in the voivodships, which determine the unit costs of fatalities and injuries. A descriptive analysis is given to show the dynamics of changes in the years 2014-2021 in the voivodships and how different factors influenced change. The article analyses the relation between road safety and the region’s socio-economic development. Data availability determined the time series applied. As we know from research, accidents fall in relation to the (demographic) density of improved roads. Accidents increase, however, in relation to the density of population and GDP per capita. These relations take the opposite direction if the (demographic) fatality rate or accident severity rate (fatalities per 100 accidents) is the dependent variable. Socio-economic losses were estimated using Statistics Poland data. They are the indirect causes of road accidents which occur as a result of lost production due to premature death or incapacity. To value the unit costs of road accidents, the PANDORA method was used. The analysis helped to group the voivodships for their highest and lowest socio-economic costs of road accidents with a special focus on the unit costs of road deaths. The originality of the research is related to the updated voivodship level research.

Published: September 2023

Objectives: Public-private associations (PPPs), for the government sector, an opportunity to take advantage of the experience and efficiency of the private sector to improve the representation of services and develop the necessary infrastructures for economic and social development. PPPs generally involve large-scale projects, but unfortunately some sectors, such as water management, exclude the opinion of experts, giving rise to monopolies that greatly benefit the private sector, even excluding them from responsibilities by not fully resolving the problem for which they were created. contracted, the costs being absorbed by the public sector. Methodology: Confirming the success of PPP participation in works still in operation is premature, but an analysis of the current results is made, taking as a case study, the "Agua Prieta" Wastewater Treatment Plant (PTAR). Contribution: The results show that the collaboration of community groups in carrying out a participatory diagnosis and having follow-up and evaluation mechanisms to monitor the performance of the private partner, are actions that further improve the chances of success of the project; On the other hand, competition and the adequate selection of private partners represent the biggest failure factor in the implementation of PPPs.

Ins kalte Wasser. Wie Lehramtsstudierende ihre Tätigkeit als Vertretungslehrkräfte für ihre Professionalisierung relevant setzen
Authors: Simonis Laura , Klomfaß Sabine
Published: September 2023

Um temporären Unterrichtsausfall zu vermeiden, werden vielerorts studentische Vertretungslehrkräfte eingesetzt. In Ermangelung von Alternativen wird dabei die Unterrichtsversorgung gegenüber den Anforderungen an das pädagogische Können des schulischen Personals priorisiert, was Einbußen bei der Unterrichtsqualität erwarten lässt. Bezogen auf den Nutzen des Vertretungsunterrichts als zusätzliche Praxiserfahrung im Professionalisierungskontext erscheint die Sache jedoch komplizierter. Im Beitrag wird der Vertretungsunterricht zunächst durch einen Vergleich mit den universitären Schulpraktika kompetenztheoretisch, berufsbiografisch und strukturtheoretisch perspektiviert: Am Kompetenzerleben, an der Bearbeitung biografischer Entwicklungsaufgaben und am Umgang mit Handlungsdruck sollte sich beantworten lassen, inwiefern sich die Studierenden durch ihre Vertretungstätigkeit professionalisieren. Gemäß dieser Heuristik wurden Sequenzen aus narrativen Interviews mit Vertretungslehrkräften ausgewählt, um zu rekonstruieren, wie sie die Relevanz ihrer Tätigkeit für ihr Professionell-Werden begreifen. Aufgezeigt wird, dass eine generelle Ablehnung der Vertretungstätigkeit mit Rückgriff auf professionstheoretische Modelle der Professionalisierung nicht haltbar ist. Empirisch deutet die Komplexität der Professionalisierungserfahrungen auf ein Manko dieser Modelle hin. Praxeologische Ansätze könnten den fehlenden Baustein liefern, um die genuine Bedeutung der Praxis für die Professionalisierung zu erfassen. (DIPF/Orig.)
"Man lernt ja eigentlich nur in der Praxis". Eine qualitative Interviewstudie mit Studierenden und Lehrkräften zu Chancen und Herausforderungen des semesterbegleitenden Praxistagskonzepts

Published: September 2023

Als Reaktion auf den Lehrkräftemangel wurde der Studiengang Grundschullehramt im Wintersemester 2020/21 an der Universität Greifswald eingerichtet, in welchen als Kernelement das Praxistagskonzept integriert ist. Der semesterbegleitende Praxistag ermöglicht es den Studierenden, ab dem ersten bis zum achten Fachsemester schulpraktische Erfahrungen zu sammeln. Welche Chancen und Herausforderungen mit diesem Konzept des Praxistags aus Sicht der Studierenden und der praxisbegleitenden Lehrkräfte verbunden sind, wird im vorliegenden Beitrag anhand eines qualitativen Forschungsdesigns untersucht. Dabei werden die Erwartungen und Erfahrungen zum Praxistag von zehn Studierenden sowie zehn praxisbegleitenden Lehrkräften über leitfadengestützte Interviews ermittelt, welche in einem induktiv-deduktiven Verfahren inhaltsanalytisch nach Kuckartz & Rädiker (2018) ausgewertet werden. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die interviewten Studierenden berichten, dass sie von dem Praxistagskonzept profitieren. Die befragten praxisbegleitenden Lehrkräfte unterstützen das Konzept, wünschen sich aber eine bessere Kommunikation zwischen Universität und Schulen und bemängeln die aus ihrer Sicht bildungspolitisch bedingte fehlende Unterstützung im Schulkollegium. Insgesamt geht aus der vorliegenden Studie hervor, dass Studierende sowie praxisbegleitende Lehrkräfte Chancen des semesterbegleitenden Praxistages sehen, gleichzeitig allerdings eine bessere Feedbackkultur aufgebaut, der Erfahrungsaustausch gefördert und Organisation sowie Zusammenarbeit der beteiligten Akteur:innen optimiert werden sollten.

Published: September 2023

Seit 2015 werden in Sachsen, um dem Lehrkräftemangel zu begegnen, seiteneinsteigende Lehrkräfte berufsbegleitend qualifiziert, dabei werden die Phasen der Ausbildung und des Berufseinstiegs gleichzeitig durchlaufen (vgl. Puderbach 2019). Der vorliegende Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit Professionalisierungswegen in der Berufseinstiegsphase seiteneinsteigender Lehrkräfte unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Bewältigung biografischer Herausforderungen. Die Darstellung der Ergebnisse erfolgt exemplarisch an einem Fall, welcher den Typ der konsekutiven Professionalisierungsbiografie repräsentiert. Anhand ausgewählter Ausschnitte eines narrativen Interviews werden verschiedene Aspekte des professionellen Handelns im Berufseinstieg diskutiert und anhand des Professionalisierungsweges aufgezeigt. Der Beitrag fokussiert vor allem auf die (berufs-)biografischen Vorerfahrungen, die nützlich sein könnten, um den Berufseinstieg, der als „sensible Phase der Professionalisierung von Lehrpersonen“ gilt, zu bewältigen (Keller-Schneider u.a. 2016, 56). Weiterhin werden die Ressourcen seiteneinsteigender Lehrkräfte betrachtet. Zum Schluss wird ein Ausblick gegeben, inwieweit konsekutive Professionalisierungsbiografien eine Transformation zur Lehrperson ermöglichen. (DIPF/Orig.)

Published: September 2023

Überall in Deutschland wird für die Deckung des Lehrkräftebedarfs auf Seiteneinsteiger:innen zurückgegriffen. Über die Ausgestaltung des Seiteneinstiegs in den Schulen und seine Auswirkungen auf das vorhandene Personal ist bislang wenig bekannt. Der vorliegende Beitrag gibt aus einer repräsentativen Befragung sächsischer Lehrkräfte erste Einblicke in die Einstellungen grundständig qualifizierter Lehrkräfte zum Seiteneinstieg: Einer verbreiteten grundsätzlichen Skepsis gegenüber dem Seiteneinstieg stehen tendenziell positive Erfahrungen mit Seiteneinsteiger:innen im eigenen Kollegium gegenüber. Deren Einsatz wird allerdings nicht als unmittelbare Entlastung in Situationen des Personalmangels wahrgenommen, sondern stellt für die grundständig qualifizierten Lehrkräfte eine zusätzliche Belastung dar. Eine Herausforderung für die Gestaltung des Seiteneinstiegs besteht darin, eine kollegiale Begleitung und Unterstützung der Seiteneinsteiger:innen bereitzustellen, die auf eine berufsbegleitende Professionalisierung der Seiteneinsteiger:innen zielt und die vorhandenen Kollegien zugleich nicht überfordert.

The Translation of Palestinian Folksongs in Ibrahim Nasrallah's Time of White Horses
Authors: Hamamra Bilal , Qabaha Ahmad , Awwad Eithar
Published: September 2023

This study investigates the translation of Palestinian folksongs in Ibrahim Nasrallah's Time of White Horses. The study tackles the cultural references and norms embedded in each subcategory following a thematic categorization of Palestinian folksongs. The variant implications the folksongs communicate are also addressed in the light of Nancy Roberts' translation of the novel and Venuti’s discussion about foreignization and domestication. Finally, the research discusses the ways in which translation affects folksongs' artistic and national identity. The novel employed a wide range of songs of different functions and themes namely songs of wedding ceremonies, lamentation, songs of religious ceremonies and seasons, songs of collective work and agricultural seasons, children’s songs, and love songs. The study finds that the majority of the cultural references and norms embedded in folksongs are appropriated in the target text and culture by the means of domestication. Furthermore, the study shows that the identity of folksongs stems from Palestinian dialect and other stylistic features such as repetition, meter, and rhyme schemes. The study reveals that the target text's version of the folksongs lacks the majority of these identity markers due to the use of domestication. Finally, the study contends that domestication endangers the cultural and national messages meant to be communicated through the employment of folksongs.

Authors: Aawad Ala' , Khaldi Mousa
Published: September 2023

This study aims to examine how far media education for the 21st century skills are included in the new Palestinian science curriculum, to investigate the extent to which these curricula are able to create inhabitants who are skilled to live in this new knowledge era, information explosion, and handle with various media content. The study, also, offers appropriate mechanisms that contribute to enriching the curriculum in light of these skills, including restructuring and formulation of some units and activities of the curriculum in light of the media education for the 21st century. A qualitative approach with an analytical descriptive design was adopted for the study. The data analysis demonstrated that the Palestinian science curriculum for ninth grade, in general, displays media education skills in a poor manner, as the mean percentage of the skills availability were 3.6%. The percentage of the availability of the media education main themes were as follows: information literacy skill only 1.7%, the ICT literacy skill 1.9%, and with no existence of the media literacy skill. In its second main section, the study offers a general conceptual framework with relevant models for reshaping the ninth science curriculum with relevant authentic tasks, in order to enable them to accommodate the 21st century media education skills. The study ended up with a set of accommodations for practice, and others for further research in the field, among which the necessity to include media literacy skills for the 21st century in all Palestinian school curricula.

This paper provides a specific study of the upgrade of the ATLAS pixel detector
in preparation for the upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The upgrade to High Luminosity-LHC (HL-LHC) is expected to start after the long shutdown in 2025-2027. The scheduled upgrade for ATLAS will be able to efficiently cope with the challenges caused by the high luminosity imposed by the HL-LHC. A new full-silicon Detector Inner Tracker (ITk) will replace the current ATLAS Inner Detector (ID). The ITk pixel detector will consist of more layers than in the current pixel detector. This study focuses on the Ring Oscillator (ROSC) sensors embedded in the ITkPix-V1 Front-End chip of the ATLAS ITk pixel detector. The paper reports the frequency response of the ROSC at various temperatures and voltage supply values. The results showed a high sensitivity of ROSCs frequencies to the applied voltage and the external temperatures which indicates the reliability of the ITkPix-V1 chip for the future ITk pixel modules.
Recycling and Reinforcing of Expanded Polystyrene by Woven Mat and Short E-Glass fibers
Authors: Sawalha Shadi
Published: September 2023

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) polymers are widely used in insulation and packaging applications. If their waste hasn’t been managed well and due to their long degradation time, they will cause severe environmental problems for human beings, plants, and animals. Therefore, recycling could be one of the acceptable solutions to overcome such problems in addition to reinforcing them to recover the decay in properties resulting from recycling. In this work two types of EPS have been recycled at different temperatures from 140 to 260°C, and then reinforced by E-glass fibers in mat form and as random short fibers with varied composition from 5 to 25 wt%. The samples have been prepared by homemade thermal press and the tensile properties such as strength, modulus, and ductility have been investigated showing an obvious enhancement of these properties upon an increase in temperature to certain level and with fiber content and length exceeding their critical lengths. Furthermore, interfacial adhesion has been stud-ied by estimating the strength and modulus efficiency factors. The results show that the E- glass fibers could im-prove the strength with more than 300%.

Published: September 2023

The current research dealt with the study of space compatibility and its role in enhancing the functional aspect of the design of the interior spaces of isolation hospitals by finding a system or format that is compatible with the nature of the changes occurring in the structure and function of the space system, as well as contributing to enhancing compatibility between the functional aspect and the interior space. Therefore, the designer must The interior is the study of the functional and spatial aspects as they are the basic aspects for achieving suitability, and through the interaction between the person and the place, the utilitarian performance characteristics are generated that the interior designer is interested in and tries to develop and give them the appropriate design fit. The research consists of four chapters:* The first chapter: dealt with the research problem that was crystallized by the following question: “What is the role of spatial suitability in the process of change to embody the functional aspect of interior design?” The importance of the research is demonstrated by presenting a study necessitated by the necessity of raising the level of interior spaces, especially with regard to the issue of space suitability. The research also contributed to benefiting researchers and students regarding the results reached by the current research in the field of space suitability and confirming the functional aspect of interior design. The aim of the research is to clarify the role of adapting the interior space to the nature of the changes occurring in its systems and to confirm the functional aspect for which the space was designed. The first chapter also included the limits of the research (the objective limit, the spatial limit, the temporal limit) and the definition of terminology. The second chapter included the theoretical framework, which was divided into two sections, the first of which was: suitability, its concept, and its types. The second section was: the spatial organization of patient residence wards in hospitals

Authors: Francés Tecles Elena , Camaño-Puig Ramón
Published: September 2023

Introducción. La práctica de la enfermería requiere de la integración de las destrezas comunicativas y clínicas, lo que redunda en mayor satisfacción de los pacientes y mejora de los resultados obtenidos, por lo que, a partir de las percepciones y experiencias de las enfermeras de Atención Primaria, se pretende valorar los procesos de comunicación. Metodología. Para la obtención de la información que demanda el estudio, se ha elegido la entrevista en profundidad. La transcripción literal permitió el establecimiento de categorías temáticas de análisis y la comparación de los resultados con la literatura. Resultados. La comunicación es percibida de forma muy distinta por cada profesional, sin un método estructurado, con falta de adaptación a las características de cada paciente, lo cual revierte en déficits de eficacia, comprensión, y retención del mensaje. Discusión. Los problemas de comunicación provocan sentimientos de impotencia e inseguridad entre los profesionales. La falta de una evaluación de los resultados en el proceso dificulta la posibilidad de mejora y continuidad en la atención. Conclusiones. La búsqueda de la excelencia de los cuidados requiere una formación y capacitación en términos de comunicación y la evaluación continua de los resultados como garantía de calidad y continuidad del cuidado.

Authors: Herlianty Herlianty , Sridahrianti Evi , Rasdin Rasdin
Published: September 2023

Immunization is the most effective and efficient public health effort in preventing diseases and reducing mortality rates such as smallpox, polio, tuberculosis, hepatitis B, measles, rubella and congenital rubella syndrome (CRS), tetanus, pneumonia (pneumonia) and meningitis (inflammation of the lining of the brain). The purpose of immunizing infants who have never been immunized and infants whose immunizations are incomplete. As an alternative solution to the problems that have been identified, immunization counseling activities are carried out for infants who have never been immunized or infants who are incompletely immunized. The methods used in this activity use several types of methods, namely: Counseling about side effects after immunization, and distribution of leaflets There were as many as 5 children identified in immunization activities, and there was an increase in knowledge for mothers and posyandu cadres after Community Service activities had gained knowledge about immunization and after being evaluated through a question and answer session, many did not know what the benefits and effects were side after immunization. It is expected that mothers who have babies/toddlers routinely bring their children to the nearest Puskesmas or Posyandu to get complete immunizations.

We fabricated (Ph4P)2ZnCl4 and (Ph4P)2ZnBr4 crystals (Ph4P: tetraphenylphosphonium) with zero-dimensional structures via solvent evaporation and evaluated their optical and scintillation properties. Fluorescence and phosphorescence peaks derived from Ph4P+ cations appeared at 345 and 510 nm, respectively, for both crystals, while an emission originating from self-trapped excitons was also detected for (Ph4P)2ZnBr4. In the scintillation spectra, both samples exhibited a phosphorescence peak, while a weak fluorescence peak was also observed for (Ph4P)2ZnCl4. In addition, the scintillation light yield (LY) was determined by pulse-height spectra with 1 μs shaping time. A pulse-height peak was observed from (Ph4P)2ZnCl4, and the scintillation LY was about 670 photons/5.5 MeV-α, which was higher than that of a ZnO single crystal.
