Authors: Canh Vu Duc , Torii Shotaro , Singhopon Tippawan , Katayama Hiroyuki
Published: August 2023

Chlorine disinfection is commonly applied to inactivate pathogenic viruses in drinking water treatment plants. However, the role of water quality in chlorine disinfection of viruses has not been investigated thoughtfully. In this study, we investigated the inactivation efficiency of coxsackievirus B5 (CVB5) by free chlorine using actual water samples collected from four full-scale drinking water treatment plants in Japan under strict turbidity management (less than 0.14 NTU) over a 12-month period. It was found that chlorine disinfection of CVB5 might not be affected by water quality. Japanese turbidity management might play an indirect role in controlling the efficiency of chlorine disinfection.
Site suitability analysis of water tank in Athivilai village of India using an analytical hierarchy process and a geographical information system
Authors: Ajitha T. T. , Viji R.
Published: August 2023

In uneven terrain regions, the water tank location plays a significant role in pressure distribution and economical pipe sizes in the water distribution system. This study aimed to determine suitable tank locations by the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and geographical information system (GIS). Factors such as elevation, slope, population, land use land cover, and distance to the road are considered for this analysis. Thematic maps are created in ArcGIS and weights are determined using the AHP method. From the weighted overlay analysis, the result shows that 15.59, 52.36, 31.31, and 0.63% of the areas are suitable, moderately suitable, least suitable, and unsuitable, respectively. Since the area has an elevation range of 27–87 m, it is divided into three zones. An unsuitable location falls only under one zone; therefore, the results are tested in EPANET by locating the tanks in suitable and least suitable locations. Locating the tanks in suitable locations reduces the size of pipes economically and maintains the pressure successfully while locating the tanks in the least suitable locations creates a negative pressure and increases the pipe size. This study helps the designers to obtain an effective design of a water distribution network by evaluating suitable tank locations.

Published: August 2023

Selective electrodialysis is a promising approach to recovering K+ from complex coexisting ionic systems. In this study, the effects of current density, the concentration of K+ and Mg2+, as well as the operating temperature on the separation process of K+ and Mg2+ were explored to investigate the competitive migration of mono- and multivalent ions, offering a guide for the design of selective electrodialysis process, and therefore obtain the desired aqueous solutions containing K+ and Mg2+. The results show that ion concentration played a critical role in determining the selectivity of separation between K+ and Mg2+. High concentrations of K+ and Mg2+ led to a decrease in selectivity but the effect of concentration of K+ on selectivity was more pronounced. Although higher current density increased the flux of ions, their impact on separation selectivity was minimal. Furthermore, higher temperature increased the flux of ions but resulted in a decrease of K+ proportion in the solution. Overall, this study provides good guidance for studying the competitive migration of mono- and multivalent ions and the high-value recycling of potassium resources.
The Use of Dispersed Plastic Reinforcement in Concrete
Authors: HELBRYCH P.
Published: August 2023

Abstract. The article deals with the issue of the usefulness of plastic reinforcement dispersed in concrete, including polypropylene fibers, and the impact of the amount of dosing of such fibers was assessed. The amount of addition was analyzed in the range of 0.5 to 2.0 kg/m3. Fibrillated fibers arranged in bundles and crimped fibers were used in the tests. Fibers with a length of 50 mm were analyzed. The results were compared with test series with the addition of steel barbed fibers 50 mm long and 1.0 mm in diameter. The tests showed that steel fibers do not adversely affect the designed consistency of the concrete mix, unlike polypropylene fibers. The tests showed that, for strength and technological reasons, in the case of concrete reinforced with the addition of up to 20 kg/m3 of steel fibers, polypropylene fibers in the amount of 1.5 kg/m3 can be successfully used, with a decrease in bending and compressive strength not exceeding 10%.

Authors: PACANA A.
Published: August 2023

Abstract. The use of multifaceted quality analyses contributes to increasing the efficiency of production processes and quality control as part of maintaining competitiveness. The aim of this research was to develop an integrally configured method for the analysis of quality problems in automotive aluminium castings based on the methodological triangulation of NDT tests and quality management tools. The verification of the model was performed in one of the foundry companies against an engine block casting used in the automotive industry. The detection results obtained (VT and X-ray examination) allowed for the identification of a critical nonconformity - the presence of gas porosity, the description of the problem (5W2H method) and the identification of the root cause of the problem (5WHY method), which was the lack of up-to-date work instructions and a low level of employee competence. Corrective actions were proposed. The measures taken in the implementation of the quality problem analysis method were a new solution for the company – until now, in-depth analyses using a sequence of diagnostic methods and quality management technique tools had not been performed.

Authors: JASIŃSKI W.
Published: August 2023

Abstract. Modern mechanical constructions consist of purchased elements and workshop-made elements. Undoubtedly, purchased components – made in specialized factories – have a definite advantage in quality and durability. Unfortunately, sometimes the operating parameters of a component for a given application are insufficient. Then it remains to design and manufacture a given element in the workshop – losing quality and costs. This paper presents a different approach. Application requirements can be customized just include an additional (simple) element, e.g. a force amplifier, and a purchased component can be used.

Data Science Challenges of Automated Quality Verification Process in Product Data Catalogues
Authors: NIEMIR M.
Published: August 2023

Abstract. Product master data are an essential and key component of purchasing processes, ensuring the smooth running of business operations within companies. Unfortunately, due to the lack of a single, complete, worldwide information system storing reference data, managing the data, maintaining its quality, reliability, and timeliness, requires building quality assurance teams for such processes in most companies. There are numerous errors in product data, and identification and correction of them are time-consuming, especially for large data sets that contain many millions of products. These errors are due to the so-called human factor but are also the result of technical errors and limitations of IT systems. Therefore, in the paper, we proposed a number of solutions by category and group that can automate, simplify, and shorten the master data management process. There are also presented examples of data validation using a variety of techniques, rule-based, dictionary-based, and machine learning, that enable mass verification of both images, textual parameters, digital parameters, and classifiers, while indicating the probability of errors in specific attributes as well as in their combination, and in some cases correcting or proposing correct records. The performed tests illustrate the magnitude of problems and potential on a sample dataset.

Introduction: Mild Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), the most prevalent form of dementia, substantially burdens patients and caregivers. With only symptomatic treatments currently available, the potential of Occupational Therapy (OT) in aiding mild AD patients is increasingly recognized. This review evaluates OT’s role in preserving cognitive function in mild AD. Methods: We used PubMed and HINARI platforms to explore the effect of OT on mild AD. Studies in English, with observational or clinical trial designs involving patients with AD, were included. Case studies and literature reviews were excluded. Two authors independently selected the study, with a third resolving disputes. Results: 43 studies were initially retrieved. Post-duplicate removal, 34 abstracts were screened, 21 were selected for full review, and five met the inclusion criteria. Of these, three reported positive results, and two reported adverse effects. Those with positive results are observational studies with a low risk of bias and one RCT with a high risk of bias. The two remaining RCTs with negative consequences showed a low risk of bias. Discussion: Our review suggests no benefit on cognition in mild AD from OT, although methodological variability led to inconsistent findings. Certain OT interventions, like Recollection-Based and Group Cognitive Therapy, showed promise in cognitive improvement for mild AD. Future research should include larger samples, extended interventions, and follow-up periods for a more comprehensive insight into OT’s effects on cognition in mild AD patients.
A Study On Green Products & Green Marketing From The Students' Perspective In Kolkata
Authors: Lahiri Gargi , Nath Soumen
Published: August 2023

As society becomes more concerned about environmental protection, numerous firms and customers have expressed their concern for the impact of products on the environment. The emphasis is on 'green' environmentally friendly items that are critical to long-term sustainable development. India is also paying increasing attention to environmentally friendly production and consumption in support of environmental concerns and sustainable growth. One of the reasons for the emergence of green marketing is environmental issues. An IBM research shows, after the pandemic, ninety three (93%) percent of customers changed their attitudes about sustainability (Sharma, 2022). Green marketing is defined by the 'American Marketing Association (AMA) - as the promotion of items that are assumed to be ecologically friendly'. Green marketing and green product creation are effective ways for businesses to obtain a competitive advantage and generate consumer satisfaction (Yan & Yazdanifard, 2014). According to Adams (2020), awareness does not always equal green product purchases (isn't the best predictor of green product sales). Hearing about the green product or brand is insufficient to make a purchase. Familiarity is a higher standard than awareness because it measures the customer's knowledge and understanding of the green product or brand. The researchers believe that green marketing require greater study when it comes to the familiarity and other affecting factors. The study is aimed at to know about students' familiarity and perceptions of green products. Other factors such as willingness to learn more about green marketing, identifying green product features, preferred mode and source of gaining knowledge about green products, consideration of paying extra money to get such products etc. Students studying in undergraduate and post graduate levels in chosen colleges in Kolkata have been considered for this study

Authors: Amin Parag , Tate Aishwarya , Shetty Bhavita , Shahani Devashree , Amin Krisha Shah , Thomas Mariya
Published: August 2023

Coronavirus set off a global chain reaction of socioeconomic calamity and mental distress. Throughout the COVID-19 epidemic, a variety of psychological issues and serious mental health consequences emerged gradually. MBAstudents have been identified as a vulnerable group, with rates of anxiety, depression, drug misuse, and disordered eating that are greater than the overall population. As a result of the COVID-19 epidemic, the nature of their educational experience transformed radically from an offline to an online one. Measures such as social distancing, quarantine, the closure of educational institutions, and self-isolation have a negative impact on people's psychology because they increase loneliness, distrust, and reduce social interaction. Aweakened immune system or having close relatives who are susceptible to diseases increases stress, anxiety, and frustration in the population to a life-threatening level. This research is being conducted to learn more about the psychological effects of the covid19 pandemic on MBAstudents in Mumbai, such as social isolation, insomnia, frustration, and over thinking, as well as the effects of the same pandemic's shift from offline to online learning. In both primary and secondary research, the impact of psychological discomfort caused by social isolation/distancing, as well as dissatisfaction and sadness caused by overthinking about the future, is being investigated. Our findings underscore the critical need for intervention to address college students' mental health, as well as how the pandemic impacted more than simply traditional teaching and learning.

BACKGROUND

Telemedicine is a potential option for caring for older adults with multimorbidity. There is a need to explore the perceptions about telemedicine among older adults with multimorbidity to tailor it to the needs of older adults with multiple chronic conditions.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to explore the perceptions about telemedicine among older patients with multimorbidity.

METHODS

A qualitative study was conducted using semistructured interviews. The interview questions examined older adults’ perspectives about telemedicine, including their expectations regarding telemedicine services and the factors that affect its use. Thematic analysis was performed using NVivo (version 12; Lumivero). The study was reported using the Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research guidelines.

RESULTS

In total, 29 patients with multimorbidity—21 (72%) female patients and 8 (28%) male patients with a mean age of 69 (SD 10.39) years—were included. Overall, 4 themes and 7 subthemes emerged: theme 1—perceived benefit of telemedicine among older adults with multimorbidities, theme 2—appropriate use of telemedicine for multimorbid care, theme 3—telemedicine system catering to the needs of older patients, and theme 4—respect patients’ decision to decline to use telemedicine.

CONCLUSIONS

Telemedicine for older adults with multimorbidity should focus on those with stable conditions. This can help increase access to care for those requiring continuous condition monitoring. A structured telemedicine program and patient-centered services can help increase patient acceptance of telemedicine. However, health care providers must accept the limitations of older patients that may prevent them from receiving telemedicine services.

This paper will provide a comprehensive analysis of the practice of transforming corporate financial accounting into management accounting. Firstly, we will introduce the basic concepts and objectives of financial accounting and management accounting, and discuss why companies need to transition from traditional financial accounting to management accounting. Next, we will delve into the key focus areas for companies during the implementation of management accounting. As market competition intensifies, traditional financial accounting is no longer sufficient to meet the decision support and strategic planning needs of corporate management. More and more companies are shifting towards management accounting; however, they often face a series of challenges in implementing it. Despite these challenges, the transformation to management accounting also brings many opportunities for companies. In the digital age, combining advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data analytics with management accounting can bring new competitive advantages to businesses. The transformation of corporate financial accounting into management accounting is an undeniable trend that cannot be overlooked.
Aesthetics of Postcoloniality: An Insight into Town Planning and Architectural Practices of Madras Under the Colonial Rule
Authors: Singh Kaninika
Published: August 2023

This research paper delves into the aesthetics of town planning and architecture during colonial rule in India, with a focus on the city of Madras. The paper explores how the British colonial project enforced segregation based on race, resulting in the creation of the ‘White Town’ and the ‘Black Town’ that fit into the scheme of ‘divide and rule.’ Examining the implications of such spaces and architecture on the treatment of the native population and the postcolonial legacy that persists to this day, the paper highlights how town planning and architectural practices in Madras were used as tools of colonial power-play, enforcing racial divides and socio-political hierarchies. The research also delves into the creation of distinct European spaces, exclusive native neighbourhoods, and caste-specific localities defining the trade of each community with its distinct aesthetic. It also discusses the appropriation of Indian architectural elements in the Indo-Saracenic style by the British, aimed at legitimizing their rule and showcasing their cultural superiority while hypocritically introducing fortifications as a means to reinforce their differences. By analyzing historical accounts, architectural features, and urban planning in Madras, the paper offers insights into how the aesthetics of segregation and appropriation shaped the colonial landscape and continue to influence contemporary perceptions and spaces. It emphasizes the resilience of native aesthetics despite colonization and highlights the complex interplay between the colonizers' control and the colonized's agency in shaping their own spaces and identities. The research concludes with reflections on the lasting impact of colonial aesthetics and the evolving narratives of postcolonial India.
Indicting Frost for Androcentric Speciesism: An Ecofeminist Reading of Robert Frost’s “The Most of It”
Authors: Muhammad Hassan Musa , Isah Auwalu Umar
Published: August 2023

Using the critical framework of ecofeminism, this paper examines Robert Frost’s attitudes towards both women and nature in his poem “The Most of It”. Whether ecocritical or feminist, the mainstream readings of Robert Frost fall into two main axes: 1) Frost for Nature and/or Women Views argue that Frost’s poetry is for nature and women (Srivastava, 2017; Shah, 2022); and 2) Frost for Ambiguity Views claim that Frost’s poetic work is ambiguous—it could be for or against nature and women (Benin, n.d). This paper belongs to neither of the two. This study makes it unequivocally clear that Frost's view of nature, in “The Most of It”, is androcentric as well as anthropomorphic. Ecofeminism is about making connections, on the one hand, between the earth and the entire forms of life on it, and on the other hand, between the patriarchal exploitation of nature and women’s domination. This paper, too, attempts establishing many connections: between the poet’s use of the male generic language and the oppression of nature and women; between the female’s invisibility in the poem and women’s domination in the Western patriarchal culture; and between Frost’s fame as a poet and his advocacy (through his poetry) for the androcentric worldviews of the patriarchal American society of his time. The findings of this research reveal that “The Most of It” contains strata of male-centric, speciesist worldviews and, consequently, stress the need for more research into Frost’s oeuvre using ecofeminist theory.
Unsupervised Domain Adaptation with CycleGAN: Adapting Image Style and Content for Improved Cross-Domain Performance
Authors: Chandu Bollepalli Ravi , Kumar Bapathi Anil , Tadavarthy SNVVS Gautam , Rahul Garigipati
Published: August 2023

Abstract: In order to improve model performance while transferring information from a source domain to an unlabelled target domain, unsupervised domain adaptation is a crucial problem in deep learning. The CycleGAN design, a well-known generative adversarial network architecture, is used in this study to explore the domain adaptation challenge. Improved cross-domain performance is the goal, and both picture style and content adaptation are being focused on. In this study, we explore the use of CycleGAN to modify images from a source domain to more closely reflect the look and feel of a target domain. With no need for paired data, the architecture's built-in capacity to learn domain mappings makes it easier to transfer knowledge between dissimilar domains. By placing a strong emphasis on content and style adaptation, we hope to get beyond the problems of domain shift and distribution mismatch, which will improve generalization and classification accuracy in the target domain. We extensively experiment on benchmark datasets to show the efficacy of the suggested approach. Comparing cross-domain performance to baseline models and other adaption strategies, quantitative evaluation using known measures demonstrates the significant improvement attained. Additionally, qualitative assessments demonstrate the successful alteration of images, demonstrating CycleGAN's competence in adjusting both visual appeal and semantic information. By highlighting the need of simultaneously addressing visual style and content, this study makes a contribution to the field of unsupervised domain adaptation. The outcomes highlight CycleGAN's potential as a formidable domain adaptation tool, opening the door for improved knowledge transfer and performance in real-world settings across several domains

Authors: Mellado-Vázquez Adriana , Salazar-García Samuel , Hernández-Guerra Carlos
Published: August 2023

In Mexico, Nayarit and Veracruz stand out as producers of Persian lemon. Nayarit has a larger surface area with high production potential and a 68% expansion of its cultivated area in the last 10 years. Veracruz has larger planted area and production volume. This investigation was conducted aiming to determine the period of nutritional stability in Persian lemon leaves and define the appropriate time to perform foliar sampling for nutritional diagnosis. In 2017, rainfed orchards were selected in both states. Per orchard, 20 trees were selected, 50 shoots were marked per flow (Nayarit winter and summer, Veracruz winter and spring), and sampled monthly. Soil and foliar nutrient analysis was performed (total nitrogen (N-total) (semi-microKjeldahl digestion), nitrates (NO3) (colorimetry), potassium (K) (atomic absorption), phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), and zinc (Zn), (ICP-Optical Coupled Plasma using an ICAP 7200 spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific®), and boron (B) (colorimetry) (Genesis 20 spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific®)). Daily predicted values were calculated and the best functions (highest R2, lowest mean square of the error and value of the Mallows coefficient) were chosen. Mathematical derivatives and criteria were calculated to determine the best period for sampling. For Nayarit, the appropriate period for leaf sampling was the summer flush of July 29 to August 18 and from February 8 to March 19 for the winter flush. In Veracruz, it was from April 10 to May 10 for the winter flush and from September 23 to October 8 for the spring flush.

LÓGICA LABORATORIAL DA ARTE E A METACIÊNCIA DO MESTRE IGNORANTE
Authors: Mourão Rui
Published: August 2023

Este artigo estabelece um paralelismo entre arte e ciência, sublinhando a capacidade da arte também permitir obter formas de conhecimento segundo processos laboratoriais. Foca-se numa certa metaciência da arte enquanto pesquisa sobre as lógicas operativas da pesquisa artística que, caso haja um compromisso verdadeiro na compreensão de determinados aspetos da realidade sensível, faculta conhecimento existencial. Partindo do conceito de mestre ignorante desenvolvido por Jacques Rancière será abordado o processo artístico como produtor de experiências em processos complementares de interpretação e expressão, que se podem identificar com a lógica experimental das ciências que acontece em laboratório. A arte enquanto lugar de experimentação busca estar à parte do real mas visa o real, numa dupla lógica separadora e relacional que se distancia para compreender e deduzir, semelhante a quando se retiram amostras para estudo científico.

Evaluation of socioeconomic aspects triggering health care spending
Authors: Kalaj Ermira H. , Kalaj Kelt
Published: August 2023

The research investigates the effect of various macroeconomic factors on health care spending using time series data for Albania for the period from 2000 to 2020. Health care expenditure is measured as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP), out-of-pocket expenses, domestic private health expenditure, and external health expenditure per capita. Understanding what influences health spending is the main goal of the following study. In the study, explanatory variables are divided into two groups: demographic and socioeconomic determinants. These determinants include factors, such as GDP per capita, deposit interest rate, remittances, life expectancy, population rate growth, number of physicians, etc. Findings indicate that health expenditure expressed as a percentage of GDP is negatively affected by deposit interest rate and positively influenced by population aged 65 years old and over, life expectancy, mortality rate, and number of physicians for 1,000 people. On the other hand, remittances positively affect household out-of-pocket expenditure and external health expenditure. Remittance flows are significant in driving health care expenditures when compared to income such as GDP per capita. These income flows from abroad may contribute to stabilization in the use of health care services by poorer households or those households lacking health care coverage. This paper certainly contributes to the larger discussion about the relationship between socioeconomic factors and the welfare state.

Electrochemical synthesis of green oxidants O and
HO is valuable for applications, but
challenges persist in enhancing the O and
HO generation activity and combined
application. Herein, we modulate the surface Ni active sites and oxygen
vacancy defects content in Ni-Sb-SnO electrocatalysts
to enhance selectivity for electrochemical ozone generation (EOP) and
two-electron electrochemical oxygen reduction reactions (2e⁻ ORR). The
Ni active sites and oxygen vacancy defects enriched electrocatalysts
resulting in an ozone faradaic efficiency of 48.1%, while non-enriched
electrocatalyst obtained 90% selectivity for
HO. Theoretical calculations revealed
that Ni-Sb-SnO efficiently captures O
with defective O stabilize intermediates,
facilitating O and HO
synthesis. Moreover, concerted EOP and 2e⁻ ORR enable concurrent
generation of O and
HO for efficient synergistic
degradation of organic pollutants, while attenuating the energy demands
of the electrolyzer. This study provides an appealing strategy for the
simultaneous production of O and
HO with applications in wastewater
treatment.
A Review of Control Strategies for Automatic Generation Control of Power Systems Containing New Energy Sources
Authors: Kuang Ming , Tian Youwen , Liu Qingyu , Zhao Meng , Wu Xin
Published: August 2023

This review presents a state-of-the-art literature review of automatic
generation control (AGC) control strategies for power systems containing
new energy sources. The incorporation of new energy into the power
system causes a large impact on the stability, reliability, economy and
security of the power system. In order to mitigate these effects, it is
important to choose a suitable control strategy for AGC. However, there
is no review of AGC control strategies specifically for new
energy-containing power systems, so a review of AGC control strategies
for new energy-containing power systems is necessary. The investigation
of this paper focuses on all kinds of different AGC control strategies
for new energy-containing power systems, such as PID control, fuzzy
control, artificial neural network control, etc., and compares and
considers these different control methods, while this paper summarises
the power system models with/without new energy. In addition, this paper
summarises and discusses the application of intelligent optimisation
algorithms and energy storage systems to control strategies. The
problems and future research directions of the current research on power
systems with new energy sources are also discussed.
“Converging Cardiomyopathies: Overlapping Phenotypes of Alcoholic Cardiomyopathy and Left Ventricular Non-Compaction - A Case Report and Discussion”

Published: August 2023

Left ventricular non-compaction, often known as LVNC, is a form of
congenital cardiomyopathy that is extremely uncommon. It is a condition
that may be identified by an elevated number of endomyocardial
trabeculations as well as an increase in their prominence. Alcoholic
cardiomyopathy, also known as ACM, is a non-ischemic form of dilated
cardiomyopathy that is characterized by contractile failure and an
enlargement of the heart ventricles. It is not entirely known whether or
not there is a clinically significant overlap in phenotypic
characteristics between the two illnesses. We report a patient who had
previously been diagnosed with ACM and who had cardiac MRI (CMR) results
that fit the criteria for both LVNC and ACM.
To in-situ construct a layer of ductile and dense skin protecting the brittle concrete matrix of reinforced concrete

Published: August 2023

It is well known that the invention of reinforced concrete
revolutionized the construction industry because the two materials can
act uniformly in resisting forces. We propose a biomimetic idea that to
in-situ construct a layer of ductile and dense skin protects the brittle
concrete matrix just like the role of animal skin, the whole reinforced
concrete unit can be more natural.
