Authors: C.Jayagowri  , G.Upendra Reddy
Published: June 2024

Internet of Things (IoT) in military settings by and large comprises of an assorted scope of Internet- associated gadgets and hubs (for example clinical gadgets and wearable battle outfits). These IoT gadgets and hubs are a significant objective for digital lawbreakers, especially state-supported or country state entertainers. A typical assault vector is the utilization of malware. In this paper, we present a profound learning based strategy to identify Internet Of Battlefield Things (IoBT) malware through the gadget's Operational Code (OpCode) succession. We change OpCodes into a vector space and apply a profound Eigenspace learning way to deal with characterize pernicious and benevolent applications. We likewise show the strength of our proposed approach in malware identification and its manageability against garbage code addition assaults. Ultimately, we make accessible our malware test on Github, which ideally will profit future exploration endeavors (for example to encourage assessment of future malware location draws near)
Harmonics Reduction in Virtual Synchronous Generator Using Fuzzy Logic controller
Authors: Madhubabu Thiruveedula  , K. Asokan
Published: June 2024

Harmonics are always present in the electrical networks in both no-load and load conditions. Harmonics reduces the power quality of the VSG in the presence of nonlinear loads and distorted grid. Completely removing the Harmonics from the network is impossible but we need to reduce them to a minimum value so that the system efficiency improves. A hybrid harmonic suppression scheme is proposed to enable the further improvement of the adaptability of VSG, which mainly consists of a voltage harmonic control loop and a grid current-controlled loop. The voltage harmonic control loop aims to scale down the inverter output impedance via a negative feedback loop, while the grid current-controlled compensator is intended to counteract the adverse effects from a weak grid via an additional voltage, which leads to substantially lower total harmonic distortion for both the load voltage and the grid current at the same time .By using a proper controller we can reduce the THD value of the grid to the minimum.

Authors: S. Ashwini  , K N Narasimhamurthy
Published: June 2024

Detailed Thermoluminescence studies of Bi2O3 doped with Dy3+ synthesized by solution combustion method and irradiated with -rays and β-rays for doses in the range from a few Gy to KGy was done in the current work. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analysis is used to calculate the average particle size and was determined to be in the range 13-30 nm. Thermoluminescence (TL) characteristics of β-rayed Bi2O3: Dy3+ doped samples for dose of 1 Gy to 20 Gy are studied. In all -irradiated Bi2O3 : Dy3+ doped samples, at ~145 oC (Tg1) and ~155 oC (Tg2) two significant and well resolved TL glow peaks were observed. Also, the TL intensity is found to increase with dopant concentration up to 5 mol % and then decreases due to quenching. The peak position of both the glow peaks (Tg1 and Tg2) is almost stable for the complete dose range. The activation energy and frequency factors are found to be 0.79 eV and 1.75×1015 s-1 respectively. These values are in very good agreement with those values calculated by peak shape methods and are found to be 0.73 eV and 1.70×1015 s-1 respectively.

Authors: V. Kamalanathan  , K. Asokan
Published: June 2024

Renewable energy production technologies use resources directly from the environment to generate electric power. These energy sources such as sunshine, wind, tides and biomass are some of the more popular gifts from the nature. The renewable energy resources emit nothing into atmosphere or never produce green house gas or pollute the environment at all. Even if the renewable energy sources are safe to the atmosphere, these resources meet out smaller percent of power requirement internationally This paper a population based optimization algorithm of Corona Virus Herd Immunity Optimizer (CVHIO) is proposed to solve the renewable energy constrained generation scheduling problem. The objective function of the problem is to minimize the total operating cost of hybrid system with satisfying standard operating constrains of thermal, wind and solar power plants. Initially the variables of the problem are effectively optimized using CVHIO algorithm. . Numerical example with IEE 39 bus test system (ten thermal twenty four hour) with an equivalent Solar and Wind generators are considered to prove the performance of CVHIO approach.

Ensuring the safety of train traffic by introducing innovative systems
Authors: Popova I. M. , Karnakova V. V.
Published: June 2024

The article discusses issues of train traffic safety. When considering competitive advantage when choosing modes of transport, special attention is paid to such a criterion as the quality of the services provided. One of the characteristics of the quality of railway transport services is the safety of train traffic. A questionnaire was conducted to identify the causes of traffic safety violations, and the main causes of non-standard situations were identified. One of the reasons for traffic safety violations is the human factor. It is proposed to reduce cases of non-standard and emergency situations through the introduction of digital automation technologies, such as the “shunting automatic locomotive alarm” (MALS) system. The technology relates to the field of railway automation, which can be implemented for use on locomotives in order to improve traffic safety, through competent regulation of train movement, as well as shunting work at the railway station. Timely control eliminates the transmission of erroneous (incorrect) information to the MALS, which eliminates the formation of false commands in locomotives and thereby reduces the number of non-standard and emergency situations in transport. This system will allow for a comprehensive modernization of existing signaling devices, automation of shunting work and more rational use of locomotives at the station, thereby improving the logistics process.

Authors: Azambuja Betim Luciano , Artuso Vicente
Published: June 2024

Os três evangelhos sinópticos, Mateus, Marcos e Lucas, relatam o encontro de Jesus com as crianças. O tema central aborda a bênção aos pequeninos, como herdeiros do Reino de Deus. Neste artigo exegético propomos uma análise da perícope de Mateus 19,13-15, dialogando com as demais passagens paralelas. Coloca-se a questão: “A prática do pedobatismo na tradição católico-romana e na tradição reformada (presbiteriana) teria suas raízes teológicas em Mateus 19,13-15? O texto não fala explicitamente do batismo infantil. Isso vai ocorrer nas releituras hermenêutico-teológicas posteriores, tanto na tradição católica quando na reformada.. Nesse sentido, como discussão secundária, o batismo de crianças envolve questões bíblicas e teológicas que serão apresentadas no decorrer do artigo. A revisão de literatura dialoga com textos católicos e reformados, com destaque para biblistas e documentos oficiais (Catecismos e Confissões) de ambas as tradições, afirmando a conveniência do pedobatismo, fundado na práxis das Igrejas desde os primeiros séculos do cristianismo e mantida pelas igrejas oriundas da reforma.

Authors: Ngala James Bantar , Mboshi Nsagha Sarah  (Ph.D.) , Muki Asangha Ngufor (Ph.D.)
Published: June 2024

Purpose: This study investigated “Social Disengagement and the Psychological Well-being among Ageing Persons (60 years and above) in Mezam Division, Northwest Region of Cameroon.  In the past, care for the elderly was the responsibility of the family and the entire community (respect, care and affection traditionally reserved for them). Today, the elderly face social disengagement, coupled with financial insecurity. The majority of them do not benefit from any pension and for those lucky enough to have one, it is too paltry to allow them to live decently. Hence, this study investigated whether social disengagement affects the psychological well-being of ageing persons.
Materials and Methods: The concurrent-nested mixed method research design was used in conducting the study whereby both quantitative and qualitative paradigms were used. A sample of 350 ageing persons was chosen for this study using purposive and snowball sampling techniques. Data were analysed following a triangulation approach in methodology, analytical process and statistical packages. Descriptive and inferential statistical techniques were used to analyse the data collected from the field. For descriptive statistics, measures of central tendencies such as the mean, measures of dispersion (standard deviation), frequency tables and percentages were used to answer research questions while the point biserial correlation test was used to compare relationships within the variables under investigation at 0.05 probability level. To verify the hypothesis, linear regression analysis was conducted at a 0.05 level of significance.
Findings: From the data analysed, it was revealed that social disengagement significantly influenced the psychological wellbeing of ageing persons and accounted for 11.1% of its variance R2 =.111, F (1,328) = 40.966, p < 0.01.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Based on these findings, some recommendations were made as follows; family members, the entire community, civil organisations and welfare services should get more acquainted to the aging by creating channels of interaction with them, respecting them, providing social support to them as well as caring and showing affection to them.

The causes of the poor utilization of health facility during delivery were examined so as to proffer policy solution on how to overcome the high incidence of maternal mortality in the country. The authors sourced data from Nigerian Demographic and Health Survey (DHS, 2013) because cost of attending health facility was not covered in the 2018 Demographic Health Survey. Moreover, the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method of regression analysis was used in the study because the dependent variable was not binary.Finding shows that cost of accessing health care in the hospitals, health insurance, and attitude of health workers have a positive and significant effect on delivery at health facility. This makes it important for wider coverage of national health insurance program and organization of regular training on work attitudes for health workers in Nigeria to increase use of health facility during child delivery. It will help to reduce maternal health problems in Nigeria.

Exploring new methods and protocols for synthesizing tin (II) sulfate (SnSO4) with low energy and time consumption is of significant industrial importance. We have developed synthesis protocols involving critical parameters, such as oxygen gas flow, sulfuric acid concentration and heating temperature dan time, aimed at yielding a high purity of SnSO4 precipitate. Our findings indicate that oxygen gas flow significantly enhances the synthesis process, resulting in a high yield of pure SnSO4 precipitate. The optimal synthesis conditions were identified as 180 °C for 2 h under continuous oxygen gas flow. This research shows the most efficient synthesis time rather than any prior research. Under these conditions, an intermediate oxide formed, which subsequently reacted with 30 %wt sulfuric acid to produce the desired yellowish SnSO4 precipitate. The presence of tin (II) in the synthesized product was confirmed by the iodine test. Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) was employed to analyze the product's thermal stability. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed a single-phase SnSO4 crystal structure with an average particle size of 666 nm. Additionally, X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) analysis confirmed the product's purity, showing a tin (II) sulfate content of 98.369 %. Further studies using the Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) confirmed the prismatic particle shape morphology of the SnSO4 crystals, with an average size of 3.473 μm. The developed synthesis protocol provides a facile and energy-efficient approach to synthesize pure SnSO4 material.

Slag nikel is a by-product of nickel ore smelting through the pyrometallurgical process, which contains silica (> 50 %). This suggests that nickel slag, possessing pozzolanic properties, which potentially to be used as a binding material in construction projects dealing with low soil bearing capacity, such as soil improvement for road foundation. Pozzolanic reactions are greatly influenced by the chemical bonds formed between the binding material and the soil, causing mechanical characteristic changes in the soil. This study aims to examine the effect of adding nickel slag to soft soil based on changes in its physical, mechanical and chemical properties. Physical and mechanical property tests were conducted according to ASTM standards, while the changes in chemical structure in the soil were analyzed based on X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) test results. In this study, nickel slag percentages of 3, 6, 9 and 12 % were used based on the weight ratio of clay soil, at optimum water content (wopt). Furthermore, the test specimens were cured for 14, 28 and 56 days to observe the effect of time on the increase of crystal phases in each variation. The results showed that the presence of nickel slag in the soil can affect its physical and mechanical properties. The nickel slag content in the soil of 3, 6, 9 and 12 % reduces the plasticity index by 16.69, 12.02, 8.86 and 6.38 %, respectively. Meanwhile, the density values increased by 10.97, 11.27, 11.68 and 12.01 kN/m3, respectively. The changes in physical and mechanical properties can be explained by the XRD analysis results, showing changes in the spectrum curve and peak intensity of X-Ray Diffraction in the soil with the addition of nickel slag. This explanation clarifies the transformation of the soil’s atomic structure from an amorphous state to a crystalline form, which is stabilized by nickel slag.
HIGHLIGHTS

The silica-rich nature of nickel slag offers a feasible alternative for chemical soil stabilisation
The stabilization of soft soil with nickel slag results in a decrease in the plasticity index and an increase in density
Immersion duration shows a changing response for the crystallinity index and porosity of the material

Ticari olarak yayın yapan tele-alışveriş kanallarında yayınlanan program ve reklamlarda, herhangi somut ve ticari bir ürünün satışı hedeflenirken, bazı yayınlarda ise dini hususta “kişiye özel dua” gibi soyut ürünler pazarlanmaktadır. Bu noktada çalışmada din öğesinin ticari bağlamda izleyicilere pazarlanırken dinin nasıl inşa edildiği ve etik olarak nasıl yansıtıldığına odaklanılmış, izleyicilere yansımalarının neler olabileceği üzerine de tartışılmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında güvenilir bir kaynak olan RTÜK’ün üst kurul kararlarından yararlanılarak, tele-alışveriş kanallarındaki programlara uygulanan cezai yaptırımlar üzerinden televizyon kanalları ve programları verilerine ulaşılmıştır. Veriler toplanırken dini ve batıl inançları konu alan 6112 sayılı kanunun 8. maddesinin “r” ve “f” bentleri çerçevesinde tarama yapılmıştır. Tarama sonucunda 2022 yılının mart ve nisan aylarında ceza uygulanan programların çeşitliğinin fazla olması sınırlılığı belirleyen etken olmuştur. Bu bilgilere göre “Mücahid Han ile Sohbet-i İhvan” ve “Feyz-i Muhabbet” programları ile “Halı Üzerine Nakşedilmiş Hilye-i Şerif Duası” reklamı örneklem olarak seçilmiştir. Örneklemler, RTÜK’ün paylaşmış olduğu program içerikleri (diyalogları) üzerinden ele alınarak, nitel içerik analizi yöntemi ile incelenmiştir. İncelemeler neticesinde, çalışmada belirlenen kategorilere göre program içeriklerinde, olumsuz dinsel ve diğer olumsuz kelimelerin kullanım sıklığının, olumlu dinsel ve diğer olumlu kelimelere göre yüzde 70 oranında yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, tele-alışveriş kanallarının, dinsel öğeleri olumsuz yönde kodlayarak pazarlaması “din”i istismar ettiğini göstermiştir. Ayrıca olumsuzluk ifade eden cin, musallat, büyü vb. gibi sözcüklerin sıkça kullanılması, izleyicilerin dini inançlarının ve değerlerinin de kötüye kullandığını ortaya koymuştur.
