Authors: M.Sowjanya Lakshmi  , Bollapragada Sesha Sreenivas
Published: January 2025

Current study investigates the fresh, hardened and durability characteristics of geopolymer concrete (GC) developed using sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) as an alkaline-activator (A-A) for M25, M40 and M70 grades. Low calcium fly ash (LFA) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) were used as alkaline binders. The fresh properties were evaluated using the slump test, while the hardened properties were assessed through the Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) test and compressive strength (CS) test. Durability characteristics were investigated using the water absorption test, accelerated carbonation test, acid attack test with 5% HCl and 5% H2SO4 and fire resistance test at 400°C, 600°C and 700°C for 1 hour duration of heating. The slump values for M25, M40 and M70 grade GC were 110mm, 110mm and 120mm respectively. UPV results indicated that M25 and M40 grade GC fell under the medium to good quality concrete category, while M70 grade GC was classified as excellent quality concrete. The CS, weight lossand strength loss factors were evaluated for each grade of GC exposed to acid attack and fire resistance tests. The results demonstrate the potential of Na2SiO3based GC as a sustainable alternative to the combination of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and Na2SiO3 as an A-A concrete.

Produksi minimum adalah kemampuan produksi terkecil dari kelompok tenaga kerja maupun peralatan yang bekerja bersama-sama dalam menyelesaikan pekerjaan dalam satu satuan waktu (jam/hari). Jika produksi minimum terjadi pada tenaga kerja maka peralatan menganggur, sebaliknya jika produksi minimum terjadi pada alat maka tenaga kerja menganggur. Dari hasil produksi minimum, bisa ditentukan besarnya waktu penyelesaian dengan cara volume item pekerjaan  yang  bersangkutan dibagi  dengan  produksi  minimumnya.  Apabila  produksi  minimum rendah,  maka koefisien menjadi besar, hal tersebut mengakibatkan waktu penyelesaian waktu bertambah, biaya proyek menjadi besar dan keuntungan menjadi rendah. Pada penelitian ini data yang digunakan adalah data sekunder yang diambil dari CV. PUBAGOT JAYA ABADI yaitu data Rencana Anggaran Biaya (RAB) proyek peningkatan jalan Tetaf, SP Niki-niki, TTS tahun 2023. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dampak dari perubahan produksi minimum dari sumber daya tenaga kerja dan peralatan terhadap waktu penyelesaian item pekerjaan, biaya dan keuntungan. Perubahan produksi minimum mengunakan simulasi perubahan produksi minimum -20% sampai +20% dengan interval 4%. Hasil analaisa mengenaik tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah waktu penyelesaian item pekerjaan pada item pekerjaan lapis resap aspal cair/emulsi pada produksi minimum tenaga kerja dan peralatan pada kondisi -20% menjadi 9,90 hari, kemudian pada kondisi 0% menjadi 7,92 hari, kemudian meningkat +20% maka waktu penyelesaian menjadi 6,60 hari. Untuk biaya proyek normalnya sebesar Rp. 35.009.357.405,01 kemudian ketika mengunakan produksi minimum tenaga kerja dan peralatan pada kondisi 0% biaya proyek menjadi Rp.  42.242.743.833,33, kemudian   ketika   produksi   minimum   disimulasi   menurun   pada   kondisi   -20%   biaya   proyek   menjadi Rp. 45.511.261.687,82, ketika dilakukan simulasi kenaikan produksi minimum +20% maka biaya proyek menjadi Rp.  40.172.121.585,54.  Selanjutnya  untuk  keuntungan  atau  kerugian,  untuk  keuntungan  normalnya  sebesar Rp. 3.477.129.081,48, keutungan atau kerugian yang didapat tergantung pada perubahan biaya proyek akibat produksi minimum dan simulasi perubahan produksi minimum, ketika produksi minimum tenaga kerja dan peralatan pada kondisi 0% terjadi kerugian sebesar Rp. -3.756.257.346,84 dikarenakan biaya proyek yang meningkat akibat produksi minimum, kemudian pada kondisi -20% kerugian menjadi Rp. -7.024.775.201,34, selanjutnya pada kondisi +20% kerugian berkurang menjadi Rp. -1.685.635.099,05.

Authors: Israel Padang  , Zwengly Lodi Honta  , Jufri Manga
Published: January 2025

Dalam penelitian ini, batang pohon aren (Arenga pinnata) diusulkan sebagai alternatif tulangan pada balok beton untuk memberikan solusi yang lebih ramah lingkungan dan berkelanjutan di industri konstruksi. Penggunaan material konvensional seperti baja memiliki dampak lingkungan yang signifikan, terutama dalam proses produksinya yang berkontribusi terhadap emisi gas rumah kaca. Dengan meningkatnya kesadaran terhadap isu lingkungan dan keterbatasan sumber daya alam, pencarian alternatif material yang lebih efisien dan mudah diakses menjadi sangat penting. Selain itu, biaya material baja relatif tinggi dan sering kali memerlukan impor dari luar wilayah. Batang pohon aren dipilih karena merupakan material lokal yang dapat diperbarui, memiliki kekuatan mekanis yang baik, seperti kekuatan tarik dan modulus elastisitas yang cukup tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi potensi batang pohon aren (Arenga pinnata) sebagai alternatif tulangan pada balok beton dalam rangka menciptakan solusi konstruksi yang lebih berkelanjutan dan ramah lingkungan. Batang pohon aren dipilih karena sifat mekanisnya yang unggul, seperti kekuatan tarik dan tekan yang signifikan, serta modulus elastisitas yang cukup tinggi, sehingga memungkinkan penggunaannya dalam aplikasi struktural. Dalam penelitian ini, dilakukan serangkaian uji lentur terhadap balok beton yang ditulangi dengan batang kayu aren, yang kemudian dibandingkan dengan balok beton yang tidak memiliki tulangan untuk mengetahui kontribusi tulangan dari batang pohon aren terhadap kuat lentur balok beton. Hasil uji menunjukkan bahwa balok beton dengan tulangan batang pohon aren memiliki kekuatan dan daya lentur yang cukup baik, dimana nilai kuat lentur rata-rata untuk balok BLTA adalah 4,93 MPa, sementara untuk balok BLK hanya 3,20 MPa. Hal ini mengindikasikan bahwa penggunaan tulangan batang pohon aren pada balok BLTA meningkatkan kapasitas lentur sebesar 1,73 MPa. Jika dihitung dalam persentase, peningkatan kapasitas lentur tersebut adalah sekitar 54,06% dibandingkan dengan balok BLK tanpa tulangan. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa batang pohon aren memiliki potensi besar untuk digunakan sebagai material tulangan alternatif, yang tidak hanya mengurangi ketergantungan pada baja tetapi juga memberikan solusi yang lebih ramah lingkungan dalam industri konstruksi.

Authors: Xie Jing , Han Tianying
Published: January 2025

This study investigates the impact of Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC) on teaching realistic human movement simulation in film and television education, with a focus on biomechanical principles. Through a 12-week randomized controlled study involving 46 students from three leading Chinese film academies, we examined the effectiveness of AIGC-based motion simulation systems compared to traditional teaching methods. Using a mixed-method approach, the study evaluated learning outcomes, technical accuracy, and user experience, emphasizing the biomechanical accuracy of simulated movements. Results demonstrated significantly higher performance in the AIGC group across multiple metrics, including motion accuracy (94.3% vs. 82.5%, p < 0.001), skill acquisition rates (improvement rate: 46.1% vs. 33.8%, p < 0.001), and knowledge retention (96.4% vs. 91.1%, p < 0.001). The AIGC system showed superior technical performance with 99.7% uptime and motion-to-photon latency below 20 ms, ensuring real-time responsiveness crucial for biomechanical training. Student engagement levels were notably higher in the AIGC group (92.4% vs. 78.6%, p < 0.001), with improved system usability scores (SUS: 87.3/100) compared to industry benchmarks. This research provides empirical evidence supporting the integration of AIGC technologies in film and television education, particularly in simulating realistic human movements grounded in biomechanical principles. The findings offer valuable insights for curriculum development and educational technology implementation in creative fields.

Published: January 2025

In Indonesia, many school principals and education personnel across various education levels demonstrate a lack of the knowledge and competencies needed to effectively manage school finances. This lack of knowledge and competencies manifests in school outcomes across the country. This study aims to identify and develop a practical and empirically-based factual model of financial management for private schools that receive subsidies from the Regional Budget (APBD), particularly through the Regional School Operational Assistance (BOSDA) program. The model was designed as an alternative framework based on real-world financial management practices in private high schools in Semarang, Indonesia. Purposive sampling was used to select respondents. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and document analysis. The results revealed that some financial management issues in schools appeared to evade supervision, despite the sampled schools having prepared financial reports in accordance with regulations. However, the analysis identified several components that were still not compliant. Nonetheless, this study provides valuable theoretical and practical implications for authorities responsible for overseeing financial management in private schools.
El aristotelismo de Bartolomé de Las Casas: el concepto de ethos
Authors: Schulz Michael
Published: January 2025

Esta contribución sobre el aristotelismo del dominico Bartolomé de Las Casas en el siglo XVI, se concentra en el concepto de ethos (costumbre, hábito). Este concepto permite a Las Casas distinguir entre naturaleza humana y cultura. Los fenómenos ‘bárbaro-bestiales’ de la idolatría, los sacrificios humanos y la antropofagia, que los europeos citaban como pruebas de inferioridad antropológica de los indígenas, pueden entenderse así como fenómenos culturales y no como pruebas de una naturaleza humana inferior. Es más, Las Casas también puede entender estos fenómenos culturales discriminados, recurriendo a Aristóteles, como elementos normales de la historia religiosa que siguen una lógica comprensible y que, por tanto, muestran las capacidades racionales de la naturaleza humana. Con su innovadora interpretación de Aristóteles, Las Casas se opone precisamente a la recepción de Aristóteles en el Renacimiento, por el cronista de la Corte, Juan Ginés, que utiliza la Politiká de Aristóteles para demostrar la inferioridad de la población indígena y su esclavitud natural (physei douloi). Es la tesis de este artículo que el aristotelismo de Las Casas trasforma al filósofo griego en un defensor de los indios.
Colonización e historia de la escritura: fenicios, griegos y el surgimiento de los semisilabarios paleohispánicos
Authors: García Alonso Juan Luis
Published: January 2025

En este artículo haremos un análisis comparado de la adaptación del abjad fenicio, por un lado, en la Grecia arcaica, donde daría origen a la familia de alfabetos griegos a partir muy probablemente de un antepasado común, y por otro, en la Península Ibérica poco tiempo después, donde inspiraría el nacimiento del conjunto de sistemas de escritura que denominamos hoy semisilabarios paleohispánicos. A lo largo de las últimas décadas se ha discutido la posibilidad de que la adaptación paleohispánica sufriese algún tipo de interferencia griega, algo que, a lo largo del artículo se reconsiderará, comparando con detalle ambos procesos, con la intención de demostrar algún tipo de interferencia o descartarla.
Abstract
In this article we will make a comparative analysis of the adaptation of the Phoenician abjad on the one hand in archaic Greece, where it would give rise to the family of Greek alphabets, most probably from a common ancestor, and, on the other hand, in the Iberian Peninsula shortly afterwards, where it would inspire the birth of the set of writing systems that we now call Palaeo-Hispanic semi-syllabaries. Over the last few decades, the possibility that the Palaeo-Hispanic adaptation suffered some kind of Greek interference has been discussed, something which, throughout the article, will be reconsidered, comparing in detail both processes, with the intention of either demonstrating some kind of interference or ruling it out.

Published: January 2025

This is a paper based on different machine learning models and comparison between these models to predict weather for certain day of a place Alipore (station code 42807).Based on analysis of big data as well as understanding the trend of output ,we had the objective to predict the probable weather . As we get weather from observational data ,basically we get two types of weather ,one type is significant weather with weather phenomena like lightning (code 0),drizzle(code 5), rain(code 6), thunder storm with rain(code 9) and another type is no such significant weather that means clear weather .For analysis ,we created some new dependent variable ‘T’ and considered ‘T’ as ‘1’ for significant weather while considered ‘T’ as ‘0’ for clear weather. Ultimately we used different machine learning models to predict probable weather for certain day along with comparison of performance rate for all these models.

We are dedicated to achieving sustainable development across three dimensions—economic, social, and environmental fields—through a balanced and integrated approach, with the goal of bringing radical change in the world, specifically in these three areas. As part of the 2030 Agenda of United Nations, our country aims to advance in social and economic development and is committed to achieving the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This paper focuses on the role of Indian corporate entities in the accomplishment of these SDGs, particularly in relation to healthcare infrastructure. We have examined the contribution of the top ten Nifty-50 companies, analysing their corporate social responsibility efforts in supporting SDGs. A theoretical comparison of the contribution of these selected companies towards good health and wellbeing of the society has been carried out through descriptive analysis involving statistical measures -relative proportions and rank correlation. Hypothesis testing namely test for binomial proportions and t-statistic are further employed on the existing data set for inferential insights. Additionally, the study identifies the lack of awareness in the implementation of corporate SDG plans and suggests necessary action plans for improving budget planning and expenditures on healthcare development projects
Complex Temporalities and Shared Reading: Picturebooks in the Anthropocene
Authors: Vanhove Jonas
Published: January 2025

Starting from the notion that the current environmental crisis challenges traditional notions of temporality, this article argues that children’s picturebooks are uniquely positioned to help engender a ‘critical temporal literacy’ (Huebener 2020, 24). The combination of different modes (visual, tactile and textual) in picturebooks can offer innovative representations of alternative temporalities. Furthermore, as picturebooks are usually the first books encountered by new readers, the reading practice is often shared between generations which raises opportunities for intergenerational thinking and communication. I discuss three contemporary picturebooks (Once Upon A Time There Was And Will Be So Much More by Johanna Schaible; Tales From The Inner Cities by Shaun Tan; Seasons by Blexbolex) that employ different literary strategies to enrich human temporalities through contact with the nonhuman.
Never the End: Narrating Future Ancestors in Cherie Dimaline's The Marrow Thieves
Authors: Couch Dylan
Published: January 2025

Drawing on Indigenous scholarship, this essay investigates two narrative implications of a spiraling sense of time in Cherie Dimaline’s The Marrow Thieves to explore how an Anishinaabe epistemology contends with past actions and events by placing characters in dialogue with ancestors. The Marrow Thieves presents a spiraling sense of time through the novel’s embedded oral tale, called Story, and dreams. The first argument I make in this essay is that the unique chronology posited by Story is such that it collapses concrete distinctions between the past and present, showing how ancestral experiences with settler colonialism inform characters’ present-day experiences. I then argue that spiraling narratives convey an intergenerational, collective voice that strengthens attachments to place and relationships with ancestors, community, and nonhumans. Spiraling time clarifies ways in which Indigenous characters respond to, and reflect on, the experiences of ancestors who endured previous apocalyptic events; it’s an intergenerational dialogue that supports a thriving Indigenous present and future.

Authors: Anico Ben
Published: January 2025

The study aimed to determine the status, challenges, and viability of cashless payment systems for business transactions among users. A survey correlational research design was used, data were collected from 140 participants across different user types in Iloilo, Philippines. Quota sampling ensured diverse representation. The survey included questions on participants' profiles, utilization, challenges, and viability of cashless payment systems. The findings reveal that majority were female, young adults, urban residents, with varied user type and income levels. GCash was the most used cashless payment method. There was high acceptance of cashless payments, particularly among older individuals, higher income brackets, privately employed and self-employed (freelancer) users. However, significant challenges included security concerns, technological barriers, consumer education, and regulatory issues. Females and older adults reported higher difficulties, especially regarding security and education. Despite these challenges, cashless payment systems demonstrated high viability due to their efficiency, financial transparency, and convenience. Additionally, users appreciated the environmental benefits and the widespread acceptance of cashless payments. The study concludes that while cashless payment systems was highly accepted and hold significant potential for enhancing business transactions, addressing the identified challenges is crucial for their broader adoption and viability. This research provides valuable insights for users, businesses owners, cashless payment companies, financial institutions, the government, and future studies on enhancing cashless payment system and user experience.

THE ROLE OF AI IN ENHANCING IDENTITY AND ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Authors: Rebouças Filho Wilson Leite
Published: January 2025

In the modern digital world, safeguarding sensitive data and managing access to critical systems are essential for organizations. Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a key framework for controlling access to systems and data, ensuring only authorized users can gain access. Traditionally relying on static methods like passwords, IAM systems are now facing challenges due to the complexity of cyber threats and the increasing number of users and devices. To address these issues, AI is transforming IAM by improving user authentication, detecting security anomalies, and refining permission management. AI contributes to user authentication through biometric technologies like facial recognition, fingerprint scanning, and voice recognition, reducing vulnerabilities from traditional methods. Machine learning also enhances authentication by continuously analyzing user behavior, adapting systems to recognize legitimate users more accurately. Additionally, AI plays a vital role in anomaly detection by analyzing user activity data across various platforms and identifying unusual patterns that indicate potential threats. AI's impact extends to dynamic and context-aware permission management, offering real-time adjustments based on factors such as user role and location. Furthermore, AI supports continuous risk assessment and regulatory compliance by monitoring user activities and ensuring proper access controls. The integration of AI in IAM also strengthens cloud security, as seen in the research of Muppa (2022), Mandru (2022), Oduri (2019), Mohammed (2021), Ramakrishnan (2021), and Subburaman (2022), who explore how AI helps mitigate emerging threats, optimize authentication, and improve access control in cloud environments. Ultimately, AI in IAM offers a more adaptive, resilient, and precise solution to evolving security challenges. Organizations adopting AI-powered IAM systems will be better equipped to face future cyber threats, ensuring both data protection and operational continuity.

One of the biggest concerns of the twenty-first century is climate change, which puts the nation's economic growth as well as the environment, public health, and food security at considerable risk. In addition to cross-border effects and contagion concerns, it has spillover effects across sectors and geographies. Other anthropogenic influences, which can have far more immediate and significant effects, must be taken into consideration when assessing the effects of climate change. Climate change is one of the factors that can influence the climate. These include phenomena like changes in the World's circle, mountain-building, mainland float, variations in solar radiation, and shifts in the concentrations of greenhouse gases. Because of their vast mass, some components of the environment framework, such the oceans and ice covers, react to climate changes slowly. As a result, it may take centuries or more for the climate system to react completely to novel outside influences. Numerous research made assumptions regarding adaptability, biophysical processes, and changes in baseline socioeconomic conditions. Nearly every study we looked at predicted that negative effects would worsen after the global mean temperature rose by about 3 to 4°C. Influences and worldwide mean temperatures somewhere in the range of 0°C and 3°C are not consistently correlated, according to the studies. It is evident that minor degrees of temperature change will have negative effects on coastal resources.

The most instinctive natural resource on the planet is water. Hydrological researchers must take the vital step of predicting water level and taking the necessary action to prevent the impending water crisis in order to avoid the shortage of water. Several hydrological research have demonstrated the potential of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) as a new technology for anticipating groundwater levels. The extended feature and flawed data set for prediction result in an unpredictable and inconsistent aspect. To prevent a water crisis, strict groundwater management measures must be implemented. Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are effective in three areas, according to recent research: they can handle very huge data sets, complex computing challenges, and training at the discrete level of representation or depiction. Strong and fast hardware is desired for deep learning stimulation. A single-core CPU will not be able to create reliable predictions with a flawed and inaccurate data set of input variables; on the other hand, a multi-core CPU will make predictions more efficiently. A multi-processor system with thousands of computer units called cores is called a Graphical Processing Unit (GPU).

Background: Accurate evaluation of lumbar spine range of motion (ROM) is crucial in clinical settings such as rehabilitation and orthopedic care. The traditional double inclinometer, while effective, has limitations related to time, variability, and positioning. The HALO digital goniometer offers a promising alternative with faster and more accurate measurements.Objective: This study aims to compare the intra-rater reliability and concurrent validity of the HALO digital goniometer against the double inclinometer in assessing lumbar spine ROM.Methods: A total of 64 participants aged 18-75 with low back pain were assessed using both devices. Lumbar flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and rotation were measured across three sessions. The consistency of measurements by the same evaluator was assessed using a statistical measure of reliability, while the agreement between the two devices was examined through correlation analysis to establish concurrent validity.Results: The HALO goniometer showed excellent intra-rater reliability with ICC values ranging from 0.95 to 0.99. Strong positive correlations (r = 0.94 - 0.98) were also observed between the HALO goniometer and the double inclinometer for all ROM measurements.Conclusion: The HALO digital goniometer is a valid and reliable tool for measuring lumbar spine ROM, offering a practical alternative to the traditional double inclinometer in clinical practice.

Introdução: A deficiência de vitamina B12, essencial para o funcionamento do sistema nervoso central e a síntese de neurotransmissores, tem sido associada a comprometimentos cognitivos e transtornos psiquiátricos, como a depressão. Estudos indicam que essa deficiência pode levar a alterações no metabolismo cerebral, como a hiper-homocisteinemia e a redução de S-adenosilmetionina, afetando diretamente a cognição e o humor. Objetivo: Analisar a relação entre a deficiência de vitamina B12 e a função cognitiva de pacientes com depressão. Metodologia: Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa e exploratória da literatura, nas bases PubMed, SciELO e Google Acadêmico, utilizando descritores como “deficiência de vitamina B12”, “cognição” e “depressão”, combinados pelo operador booleano “AND”. Foram incluídos estudos em português, inglês e espanhol, publicados entre 2004 e 2024, excluindo artigos com apenas o resumo disponível. Após filtragem, 13 artigos relevantes foram analisados e sintetizados tematicamente. Resultados: Os estudos indicam que a deficiência de vitamina B12 está associada a déficits cognitivos em pacientes com depressão, incluindo dificuldades de memória, concentração e aprendizado. Mecanismos como a redução na metilação de neurotransmissores e na manutenção da bainha de mielina explicam esses efeitos. Além disso, a suplementação de vitamina B12 em pacientes com depressão mostrou potencial para melhorar a função cognitiva e aumentar a eficácia dos tratamentos antidepressivos. Conclusão: A deficiência de vitamina B12 é um fator subdiagnosticado que contribui significativamente para o comprometimento cognitivo em pacientes depressivos.

Alternative algebras are vital for studying and modeling systems that deviate from strict associativity but maintain enough structure to be useful. Indeed, alternative algebras generalize associative algebras by relaxing the strict associativity condition. Alternative algebras naturally include the octonions, which are a key example of a non-associative division algebra. The octonions are part of the Cayley-Dickson construction and play a critical role in geometry, topology, and theoretical physics, especially in string theory and exceptional Lie groups. The origin of alternative algebras lies in the historical exploration of division algebras and their applications extend to various mathematical and physical disciplines, especially in understanding non-associative algebraic structures.In this paper, we consider free alternative algebra with the additional identity x3=0. For motivation, we refer to the dual operad of the alternative operad. Also, we obtain pre-Lie algebra with the identity x3=0 from binary perm algebra. Finally, we consider assosymmetric algebra with identity x3=0.
