APPLICATION OF THE THEORY OF DIMENSIONS AND SIMILARITY TO DETERMINE THE PARAMETERS AND OPERATION MODES OF AN ASYMMETRICAL DISK HROW FOR SOIL PROCESSING
Authors: Gritsenko Oleksandr , Stepanenko Serhii
Published: January 2024

The parameters and modes of operation of the asymmetric disc harrow for soil cultivation were studied. During the determination of parameters and regimes, the theory of dimensions and similarity of physical quantities was applied. As a result of the study, regularities were revealed that reveal the relationship between parameters, operating modes and properties of the environment with energy indicators of the process. Experimental data on the operation of an asymmetric disc harrow with spherical discs for soil cultivation were used as initial data.
Based on the theory of dimensions, dependencies were obtained to determine the dimensions of the parameters and modes of operation of the disc harrow with spherical discs for soil cultivation and soil properties, such as traction resistance, depth, grip width, speed, soil hardness and acceleration. Similarity criteria were also determined on the basis of this theory.
With the help of correlation analysis and the method of least squares, the nature of the dependence and the corresponding coefficients were determined. A schedule was built to determine the operating modes and parameters of a disc harrow with spherical discs for soil cultivation.
To represent the dimension of each quantity that is included in the established formulas, in the form of a product of power functions of independent quantities (length L, time T and mass m), we can use the method of dimensional units.
On the basis of the obtained dependencies, it is possible to solve tasks related to determining the traction resistance of technical means for soil cultivation with disk harrows. Literary sources and well-known scientific studies in the field of soil cultivation with the technical means of a disk harrow were used as input data. Therefore, the conducted research made it possible to establish important relationships between the parameters and modes of operation of a disk harrow for soil cultivation using the theory of dimensions and similarity, which can be useful to improve agricultural production processes.

Today, grain-harvesting machines are being improved in the directions of increasing the productivity and stability of the technological process, reducing damage and loss of grain, improving the working conditions of the operator, and reducing the harmful impact on the soil and the environment. Every year, manufacturers offer new and more modernized equipment that allows them to meet modern requirements.
In recent years, many new harvesters of different manufacturers have appeared on the Ukrainian market, differing from each other in power, set of additional functions and other characteristics. An analysis of the technical level and features of these new machines will help agricultural producers make a more accurate choice when purchasing and purchase equipment that most fully meets all requirements.
Manufacturers have also introduced a number of innovative solutions and developments into their equipment that increase the efficiency of the harvesters. Among them: a change in the frequency of rotation of the drive shafts of the straw shaker depending on the slope of the field and the type of crop being harvested; changing the frequency of rotation of the cleaning fan according to the angle of inclination; 4D-cleaning system, which increases the productivity of Lexion 700 hybrid grain harvesting machines. Among the new developments, it should also be noted the automatic change of movement speed according to the load and the intensification of grain selection by the straw shaker by installing a drum with an eccentric mechanism above it. Among the innovations, it is also possible to single out the use of an electric drive for modifying the settings of the thresher by the operator from the cabin; video cameras that improve visibility of mechanisms; crawler motors that reduce the negative impact on the soil; the possibility of preliminary preparation of the mass before submission to threshing; automatic adjustment of the thresher with preset for certain cultures; devices for adaptation of equipment operation on slopes.
The main feature of new grain harvesters of various manufacturers is the presence of engines that meet modern requirements for the toxicity of exhaust gases. As with tractors, SCR selective catalytic neutralization technology is increasingly used in their design. The most powerful engine of 460 kW is installed on the Lexion 780 Terra Trac, the largest hopper with a capacity of 14.5 cubic meters. m have New Holland CR 9.90 and CR10.90 combines.
Study on phosphorus release from medium- and low-grade phosphate ore powders by mechanical activation and low molecular weight organic acid activation
Authors: Fan Tingyu , Ma Tenglong , Wang Miao , Wang Shun , Wang Xingming , Lu Akang
Published: January 2024

Phosphate ore is an essential resource for producing phosphate fertilizer. International phosphate ore is overmined, and phosphorus resources are becoming depleted; improving the utilization efficiency of medium- and low-grade phosphate ore powder (PR) through activation is the key to the sustainable and efficient use of phosphorus resources. However, the traditional activation method is inefficient and has some limitations on the grade of phosphate ore. In this study, a combination of mechanical activation and low molecular weight organic acid activation was used to activate medium- and low-grade phosphate ore powders, and the activation effects of different mechanical activation conditions, such as mechanical grinding time, the addition of different types and proportions of active minerals (zeolite, bentonite, and kaolin), and different types of low molecular weight organic acids (oxalic acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, and citric acid), on phosphate ore powder were compared. The results show that mechanical activation had a synergistic effect with low molecular weight organic acid activation. Mechanical activation can reduce the particle size of phosphate ore powder and increase the release of effective phosphorus from phosphate ore powder. Mechanical activation for 60 min reduced phosphate ore powder's median diameter (D50) from 41.67 μm to 10.59 μm and increased the effective phosphorus leaching rate from 1.19% to 8.27%. The phosphorus release effect of low molecular weight organic acids was oxalic acid > tartaric acid > malic acid > citric acid, with the optimal concentrations of 0.1 mol/L, 0.3 mol/L, 0.5 mol/L, 0.2 mol/L, and the optimal activation cultivation times were all 6 days. This study optimizes the activation method of phosphorite powder, which can not only alleviate the current global shortage of phosphorite resources but also reduce environmental pollution while maximizing the use of phosphorite resources.
Efficacy of A Ventilation Care Bundle to Prevent Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia: A Literature Review
Authors: Kahar Liliriawati Ananta
Published: January 2024

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a kind of pneumonia that arises within 48–72 hours or later after the insertion of a breathing tube into the windpipe. The fundamental idea of preventing ventilator-associated pneumonia is to minimize the length of time a patient is on mechanical ventilation and to extubate them as early as possible. Adhering to the bundle of care can influence the risk of VAP. Researchers conducted several studies between 2020 and 2023 to assess the effectiveness of a ventilation care bundle in preventing ventilator-associated pneumonia. Each study varied in terms of the specific version of the care bundle used, compliance rates, sample size, and duration of the research. The conclusion drawn on the effectiveness in question may be impacted by these disparities. Proper execution of an effective ventilator care package can decrease the occurrence of ventilator-associated pneumonia in patients who are critically ill. Employing a variety of tactics backed by long-term teaching initiatives is crucial to ensure adherence to the care bundle.

Authors: Chillali Sara , Oughdir Lahcen
Published: January 2024

Several cryptography schemes on the images use chaos theory, these schemes are very effective but have weaknesses such as the distribution of keys between the two entities that want to exchange an image confidentially. In this work, we propose an efficient encryption scheme using elliptic curves, we show that the proposed scheme is tamper-proof against any attack. It also proves security because of the problem of discrete logarithm on this elliptic curve whose calculation is difficult. This scheme achieves the required objectives such as non-repudiation, confidentiality, and integrity. During the security analysis of the proposed scheme, we verified that many security attributes have been satisfied.

Published: January 2024

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous jobs have become necessary, including the storing and sharing of printed material across computers. One simple way to save data from printed papers to a computer system is to scan them first and then save them as images. However, it would be quite challenging to extract or query text or other information from these photo files to reuse this information. As a result, a method for automatically retrieving and storing information, particularly text, from picture files is required. Optical character recognition (OCR) is an ongoing research topic that aims to create a computer system capable of extracting and processing text from images. To accomplish successful automation, certain significant problems must be identified and addressed. The font properties of characters in paper documents, as well as image quality, are only a few of the latest problems. Characters may not be recognized correctly by the computer system because of many complexities. So, in this study, authors look into OCR in four different contexts and apply them to get our results. However, every OCR is further followed by these two steps. First, a comprehensive explanation of the challenges that may develop during the OCR phases is provided. The key phases of an OCR system are then executed, including pre-processing, segmentation, normalization, feature extraction, classification, and post-processing. It can be used with deep learning software to provide OCR data which is very useful for robotic and AI applications.
ANFIS-Fuzzy Logic-based Hybrid DFIG and PMSG Grid Connected System with TCSC
Authors: Karthi K. , Ramkumar A.
Published: January 2024

Variable-speed wind turbines might provide green electricity. Grid operators’ grid regulations require wind turbines to recover from grid disruptions and help maintain electricity networks. Having wind turbines equipped with fault current limiters (FCLs) may ensure their continued functioning in the event of a power loss. In this piece, we will talk about how to improve the two most common types of variable-speed wind turbines: the Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) and the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG). Both wind generators were evaluated using the Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) with ANFIS and Fuzzy Logic. It is important to understand the dynamic behavior of wind turbines, hence models of their FCLs were built for steady state and grid disruptions. Power interruptions switched the FCLs in both wind turbines utilising grid voltage variation. Both wind turbines underwent a no-control FCL scenario. Both wind turbines’ FCLs were measured and compared under load from a severe three-phase to ground failure at their terminals. Both wind turbines were operated under similar circumstances to examine FCL control tactics during power interruptions.

An Analysis of the Recreational Preferences of School Teachers in Rural Areas of South Africa: The Case of Gender Differences
Authors: Lekgothoane Khutso , Molise Habasisa
Published: January 2024

The recreational preference is a chosen individual lifestyle that is socially constructed for multiple purposes such as enjoyment and relaxation of the mind, and therapeutic purpose. However, if the chosen lifestyle is not well combined with a recreational system, it defeats the major purpose and causes more. The study aimed to examine gender differences in the recreational preferences of school teachers in rural areas of Limpopo Province, South Africa. A quantitative survey design was used on a sample of 250 school teachers. The results showed significant (P<0.05) gender differences among male and female teachers ranging from the age of 31-50 years old in active and passive recreational activities. Female participants scored high preference rates in most passive recreational activities, and lower preference rates in active recreational activities, as compared to their male counterparts, more especially in activities that demand more physical exertion. However, among all the mentioned active activities, female teachers only scored a high preference rate in netball. Furthermore, participation on social media was the only activity that had an equal preference rate in all age groups and across all genders of the school teachers. Therefore, this study suggested that recreational service providers should provide a variety of recreational activities that could integrate gender mainstreaming into the recreational system. Also, awareness campaigns on the importance of balancing both active and passive preferences should be implemented in rural areas of Limpopo Province, South Africa.

“Kakistocracy”: An Ethical Challenge to Christian Character Formation in Ghana
Authors: Antwi Joseph Kofi
Published: January 2024

The pressing need to tackle the alarming erosion of moral standards in Ghana has been advocated. This comes in the wake of recent media reports of Ghana’s rapid deterioration in moral values. In a country where 71% of the population identifies as Christians, the moral character of the nation has witnessed inefficiencies, displayed by incompetent leadership at all levels, spanning from family units and chieftaincy, and education to religious and political spheres. This article argued that these degradations raise an ethical question for the Church in Ghana as far as the Character formation of the Church is concerned. The question that this article sought to address was, why is Kakistocracy on the ascendancy, if indeed 71% of Ghanaians are Christians? What is happening? Through a review of some existing literature, the article discussed the concept of Kakistocracy and the challenges it poses to Christian Character Formation in Ghana. Through the lens of the ethical theory of virtue ethics, as the conceptual taxonomy, this article argued that the degradation of moral values means the Church in Ghana has not been able to shape the moral character of its members. Worded differently, the Church’s influence on shaping her member’s moral character has been low, or adulterated. The article, therefore, challenges the Church to critically examine her Character Formation agenda. The paper affirmed that the Church’s nurturing ministry has been adulterated and shaken by unpredictable political, social, technological, and cultural developments in the country. This article further argued that the Church, as one of the socialisation institutions in Ghana, has a role to play in preparing leaders with moral fortitude in society. Therefore, an urgent need is to strategically (re)construct the Church’s Character Formation programme for its members. So that they would be able to steer the nation’s social transformation.

Philippine herpetology (Amphibia, Reptilia), 20 years on: two decades of progress towards an increasingly collaborative, equitable, and inclusive approach to the study of the archipelago’s amphibians and reptiles
Authors: Meneses Camila G. , Pitogo Kier Mitchel E. , Supsup Christian E. , Brown Rafe M.
Published: January 2024

A first review of the history, status, and prospects for Philippine herpetology conducted more than two decades ago (2002) summarized the diverse topics studied and highlighted the development and achievements in research up to the year 2000. This study revisits and re-assesses what Philippine herpetology has accomplished, both as a discipline and a community, during the last two decades (2002–2022). A total of 423 herpetological publications was collated, revealing a substantial increase in annual publications, rising from approximately four per year during 2002–2008 to around 28 per year in 2009–2022. Half of the published studies focused on squamate reptiles (lizards 30.5%, snakes 21%) and 28.4% on amphibians, 5.9% on turtles, and 2.6% on crocodiles. The remaining 11.6% of studies focused simultaneously on multiple taxa (i.e., faunal inventories). Diversity and distribution (35.2%) and ecological (26.5%) studies remained popular, while studies on taxonomy (14.9%), phylogenetics and biogeography (11.8%), and conservation (11.6%) all increased. However, geographical gaps persist urging immediate surveys in many understudied regions of the country. Finally, we found a balanced representation between Filipino and foreign first authors (1.0:1.1), yet a substantial gender gap exists between male and female first authors (7.1:1.0). Nonetheless, the steep increase in publications and the diversity of people engaged in Philippine herpetology is a remarkable positive finding compared to the 20 years preceding the last review (1980–2000). Our hope is that the next decades will bring increasingly equitable, internationally collaborative, and broadly inclusive engagement in the study of amphibians and reptiles in the Philippines.

Active learning is a teaching method that involves students actively participating in activities, exercises, and projects within a rich and diverse educational environment. The teacher plays a role in encouraging students to take responsibility for their own education under their scientific and pedagogical supervision and motivates them to achieve ambitious educational goals that focus on developing an integrated personality for today’s students and tomorrow’s leaders. It is important to understand the impact of two proposed strategies based on active learning on the academic performance of first-class intermediate students in computer subjects and their social intelligence. The research sample was intentionally selected, consisting of 99 students. The experimental group comprised 33 students from division (B) who were taught according to the first proposed strategy, while the second experimental group, represented by division (A), and also consisted of 33 students. The control group, made up of 33 students from division (C), was taught using the usual method. Two tools have been prepared: an achievement test with 40 items and a measure of social intelligence consisting of 20 items. The research results indicated that the experimental groups, which utilized the first and second proposed strategies based on active learning, outperformed the control group. As a result, several conclusions, recommendations, and proposals were made.

Awake flexible bronchoscopic intubation is the commonly preferred technique of airway management in patients with known or predicted difficult airway. This is performed either by oral or nasal route and the technique involves complex psychomotor skill, requiring a trained or experienced operator. In contrast, supraglottic airway guided bronchoscopic intubation is a low-skill fiberoptic intubation technique with high success even among novices. The successful use of LMA BlockBuster® has been described for awake flexible bronchosopic intubation in a patient with fixed cervical spine and history of failed intubation.

Published: January 2024

Supercapacitors have been identified as one of the key energy storage devices with their excellent ability to bridge the gap between batteries and conventional capacitors in terms of power and energy. A great amount of research activities is being carried out to improve their performance to serve for worldwide day-to-day applications such as power backups, automobiles and power generators. This study is about determining the suitable active mass loading of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) based electrodes in solid state supercapacitors using cyclic voltammetry technique. The potential window of (0.01-1.2) V showed the highest single electrode specific capacitance (Csc) for the mass loading of 2 mg cm-2. As per the selected scan rates for the test, 10 mV s-1 exhibited the optimum Csc again for the same mass loading. Continuous cycling was done for 1000 cycles. Supercapacitor with the same mass loading had a higher Csc continuously throughout the 1000 cycles and also, its rate of reduction of Csc was lower.

Published: January 2024

Major aphthae are usually located on the dorsum of the tongue, the mucosal surface of the lips and the palate. They are large, round or oval ulcers, with a whitish-grey bed, well-defined borders and erythematous halo. They are very often accompanied by severe pain. Major aphthae can take up to four months to heal, often with a scar. Relapses are possible. We present a case of “giant” major aphtha that was previously diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma.
Unusual post-blepharoplasty infection: Gordonia Bronchialis case study
Authors: Maloney McKenzie E. , Bogdanovich Brennan , Lohmann Christina , Maloney Brian
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Post-procedure infections following in-office blepharoplasty are rare. Gordonia bronchialis is a weakly acid-fast, gram-positive, aerobic Actinomyces that rarely causes infections in humans. Case: A 35-year-old female presented two weeks after an upper blepharoplasty with cyst-like swellings near the incision site. Injection with Kenalog did not resolve the cyst. Histology of the cyst showed benign fibroadipose tissue with noncaseating granulomatous inflammation alongside occasional foreign body giant cells. Anaerobic culture yielded Gordonia Bronchialis. Amoxicillin 750mg QID was prescribed. The infection regressed but reappeared after tapering. A CT scan showed a small retention cyst in the right sphenoid sinus. The patient was then put on amoxicillin and clavulanic acid combination 875 mg BID and Minocycline 100mg BID for 3-4 weeks. After two months of treatment, the infection was cleared. Discussion: Most commonly, post-blepharoplasty infections these infections are due to Mycobacterium. We report a case of G. bronchialis infection following a cutaneous surgery performed in the office.

The main purpose of this study is to analyze eating and drinking behavior that can be used for early detection of chronic kidney disease in Kendari City, Southeast Sulawesi. The research question is How do eating behavior and drinking water consumption affect protein urine, creatinine, and health status? This quantitative research used a cross-sectional study approach and recruited 136 respondents in Kendari City, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia from June to August 2023. The sampling technique is by accidental sampling technique. Eating behavior in calories and drinking water consumption are independent variables. Creatinine, protein urine levels, and health status are dependent variables. Data analysis using the chi-square, Kruskal Wallis H, linear regression, and ordinal regression of statistical tests. The daily drinking water consumption of less than 666 ml a day had a significant effect on protein urine levels by 19.6% and health status by 32.2%. However, it did not significantly affect urine creatinine levels. Total daily caloric intake did not significantly affect urine creatinine levels and protein urine, but it has a significant effect on health status by 8.2% especially total calorie intake which is less than 699 calories a day. Drinking water consumption of less than 666 ml a day and intake of calories less than 699 calories can be used as a basis for early detection of people at risk of developing chronic kidney disease.

Published: January 2024

Gelidium sesquipedale is a red seaweed exploited in Morocco for its agar-agar quality. Samples were examined across the Moroccan Atlantic coast to evaluate their nutritional composition and antioxidant activity. The objective was to find out the regional impact on the biochemical properties of this seaweed. The obtained results have shown that the region factor does not affect the carbohydrate content. However, protein content was higher in the western sites (15.77% in Lahdida and 16.79% in Sidi-Rahal) compared to those from the southern sites (14.08% in Sidi El Ghazi and 14.76% in Amgriou). Regarding the phenolic contents, the results are similar in the west (5.69 and 5.38 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g respectively in Sidi-Rahal and Lahdida) but differ in the south (6.22 mg GAE /g in Amgriou and 4.78 mg GAE /g in Sidi El Ghazi) due to stranding phenomena in Amgriou. Moreover, this seaweed exhibits the highest radical scavenging capacity (DPPH) and Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) values in the south (90.41 and 114.33 µg/mL in Amgriou; 103.76 and 110.5 µg/mL in Sidi El Ghazi). Hence, the exploitation of Gelidium sesquipedale harvested on the western and southern coasts of Morocco should extend beyond the sole production of agar-agar.
