The utilizability of non-flammable R471A with low-GWP in air-conditioning systems
Authors: Devecioğlu Atilla Gencer , Oruç Vedat , Taneli Tuba
Published: November 2023

The utilizability of non-flammable refrigerant R471A with low-GWP is theoretically investigated in an air-conditioning system. In this context, R410A, R32, and R471A are compared for the evaporation temperatures of 4, 8 and 12 ℃ with the condenser temperatures of 40 and 50 ℃. The results indicate that both the mass flow rate and power consumption of R471A are higher compared to R410A and R32. Although COP of R471A is determined to be smaller than R410A and R32 about by 19% and 22%, R471A can satisfy the restrictions for air-conditioning systems due to its considerable low-GWP compared to R410A and R32 (GWP of R471A is lower by 78% and 93% in comparison with R32 and R410A, respectively). Hence, it should be possible to suppress global warming through the reduction of carbon emissions as a result of using R471A in these systems. Additionally, since R471A is non-flammable, it can be safely used for systems requiring a high amount of refrigerant charge without violating the restrictions.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Background Individuals who receive hemodialysis treatment due to chronic renal failure have limitations in their daily life and a decrease in physical activity and walking speed. In this study, we have investigated the effectiveness of various measurements of ankle angles of hemodialysis performed on patients on balance, falling risk, and daily life activities.
Materials and Methods 114 volunteer hemodialysis patients with a mean age of 30-94 have measured at the position of plantar flexion, inversion, and eversion by a 1-degree sensitivity manual goniometer. The Time Up and Go test (TUG), Lawton and Brody Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) Scale, and Barthel Index (BI) were applied to the patients. Statistical analyzes were made with the SPSS25 program.
Results 55 male and 59 female participants were accompanied in the study. The average age was 62,8 ± 15,29, and the average hemodialysis performed duration was 5,59 ± 3,92, the average body mass indexes were 25,08 ± 5,17, the average number of falls was 5,59 ± 3,92. A low positive significant correlation was observed between plantar flexion and inversion foot angle measurements with The Lawton and Brody IADL scale (p<0,05). A low-level significant positive correlation was observed between the BI score and the plantar flexion angle measurements (p<0.05). A highly significant positive correlation was observed between plantar flexion angle measurement and inversion angle measurement. In contrast, a moderately significant positive correlation was observed between plantar flexion angle measurement and eversion angle measurement (p<0.05).
Conclusion We observed a decrease in daily life activities and a walking speed increase in falling risk in the diagnosis of chronic renal failure hemodialysis patients.

Running title: Familial Mediterranean fever and fetal adrenal gland
Authors: YILDIRIM Muradiye , Sahin Dilek
Published: November 2023

Objective: To investigate fetal adrenal dimensions in pregnant women diagnosed with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and healthy pregnant women.
Materials and Methods: This study was conducted with 36 women diagnosed with FMF and 72 healthy pregnant women who were followed up and delivered in the perinatology clinic. Fetal adrenal dimensions were evaluated ultrasonographically in axial, sagittal, and coronal sections between the 340/7 and 370/7 weeks of gestation. Height, depth, and width were measured in the total adrenal length (TAL), width (TAW), height (TAH), and fetal zone adrenal length (FAL), width (FAW), height (FAH), and the volume (TAV and FAV) were calculated. Participants' birth week, birth weight, and Apgar scores were recorded. The case group was divided into colchicine users and those who did not require colchicine use during pregnancy.
Results: The sociodemographic and obstetric characteristics of the participants were similar. TAH, TAV, FAL, and FAV were significantly larger in the FMF group (p<0.001). The mean value of the FAV/TAV was 0.15 cm3 in the FMF group and 0.14 cm3 in the control group. Although the mean value of the volume ratio was increased in the FMF group, there was no statistically significant difference between them (p=0.505). TAH was found to be significantly increased in the group not using colchicine (p=0.014).
Conclusion: This is the first study conducted on the fetal adrenal gland in pregnant women diagnosed with FMF. Exposure to intrauterine stress due to chronic inflammation might result in increased fetal adrenal gland sizes.

Published: November 2023

The aim was to investigate the effect of different peritoneal tear closure methods on the operative outcomes and prognosis of patients undergo-ing laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (LIHR). Ninety patients who underwent LIHR in our hospital from August 2019 to December 2020 and had peritoneal tears during the operation were selected, and the patients were divided into a control group (CG) and the observation group (OG) according to different treatment plans, with 45 cases in each group. Patients in the CG were treated with absorbable sutures to repair the peritoneal tears, while patients in the OG were treated with bipolar coagulation to close and repair the peritoneal tears. The surgical conditions, postoperative pain scores, quality of life scores, com-plications, and recurrence were compared between the CG and OG groups. The operation time and hospital stay in the OG were shorter than those in the OG (p<0.05). The pain scores in the OG at 24 hours after operation were lower than those in the CG (p<0.05), and the pain scores of the two groups were not significantly different at two hours and 12 hours (p>0.05). Postoperative complications were not significantly different between the groups (p>0.05). The scores of material life, physical, social, and psychological function in the OG were higher than in the CG (p<0.05). There were no recurrences in the two groups during the 1-year follow-up. Closing repair of peritoneal rupture with bipolar coagulation reduces the operation time of patients with peritoneal rup-ture during TEP (total extraperitoneal hernioplasty) operations, reduces pain, and improves their quality of life. The treatment outcome is safe, effective, and has an excellent clinical application effect.

Published: November 2023

This study aimed to determine the frequency of multidrug-resis-tant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) uropathogens isolated from adult patients in Barinas City, Venezuela, in 2022. Of 1019 urine cultures from patients who attended the Barinas Clinical Microbiological Laboratory, 337 (33.07%) were selected according to inclusion criteria. The microbiological processing of urine was carried out through conventional methods. Antimicro-bial susceptibility tests and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase determination were performed using standardized phenotypic methods. The classification of MDR and XDR strains was conducted according to international criteria. Data were processed through descriptive statistics and frequency analysis. Of 337 urine cultures analyzed, 70.92% corresponded to female patients, and the age groups between 31 and 60 years were the most frequent. Of the uropathogens identified, 93.17% were represented by Enterobacterales, where Escherichia coli stood out with 87.54%, followed by Pseudomonasaeruginosa (2.67%) and Enterococcus faecalis (1.48%). Of the E. coli strains, 87.12% presented resis-tance to at least one antibiotic, with 46.78% MDR and 5.42% XDR. In general, more than half of the uropathogens identified were distributed either as MDR or XDR phenotypes. The results show the need to develop local research to im-prove empirical and targeted therapies in urinary tract infections, in addition to awareness actions for the rational use of antibiotics and epidemiological surveillance of multiresistant strains circulating in the region.
Evaluation of myocardial infarction by a 12-lead routine electrocardiogram: a case report of an ST-segment elevation.
Authors: Jin Huayong , Ding Lijiang , Li Binglei , Zhang Jianming
Published: November 2023

The spiked helmet sign (SHS) is a type of ST-segment elevation associated with critical cardiac disease and a high risk of death. We report a case of SHS caused by an ECG artifact. A 60-year-old male patient presented to the clinic after suffering an electric shock. The initial 12-lead routine elec-trocardiogram showed an SHS. The patient received appropriate intravenous fluid replacement therapy, and after 30 minutes, the ST-T changes of the 12-lead electrocardiogram were all restored to normal. The patient was discharged after a 24-hour observation period in the emergency room.Recent studies have pointed out that there may be two different types of SHS. One is the mechanical factor, and the other is the significant prolongation of the QT interval. The two types have different clinical significance. In our report, the radial artery of the patient’s right wrist pulsed strongly, and after the occurrence of SHS, the SHS disappeared after adjusting the contact position of the electrode in his right arm. This SHS caused by mechanical traction was an ECG artifact.Although the SHS may be an essential indicator of critical illness, there are mechanical factors that lead to the appearance of ECG artifacts. Therefore, in clinical work, obtaining a complete medical history and primary conditions of the patient at the time of ECG sampling is necessary to help the diagnosis and thus avoid er-roneous treatment.

Published: November 2023

With the growth of technology in the current decade, we are confronting a parking challenge. Because large towns have a dense population, there are many vehicles on the road, which causes parking and traffic problems. The globe is confronted with a new challenge that is vehicle parking. It is estimated that one million automobiles use oil on a daily basis. This paper proposes an RFID based car parking system in a community. This system was created with the assistance of the internet of things (IOTs). IoT mainly involves the exchange of information or data between two physical devices. In the suggested system, an Arduino Uno microcontroller, ESP32, RFID sensors and IR sensors are used. The value of automation is growing every day. The primary function of Arduino in the proposed system is to serve as a platform for communicating digital devices and interactive objects capable of sensing and controlling physical components. The proposed system was built using an Arduino Uno board for vehicle parking and a ESP32 to connect the parking area to the web. In order to obtain information regarding the vacancy position of the parking slot, the suggested system included an infrared sensor in each slot. Therefore, to determine whether or not a person is in the database for the car parking system, RFID sensors are used. If the driver is listed in the database, the car will be allowed to enter the parking lot and the gate will open when the motors rotate in a clockwise direction. When the gate closes, the door will rotate in an anticlockwise direction and shows the user via led. From this proposed system, we get the information about the vacancy position of parking spot and notify the user through website. Keywords—IOT, RFID, IR Sensors, ESP32, Arduino

SOLAR TRACKING SYSTEM FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY
Authors:   Dept. of EPS, PVKK Institute of Technology, Andhra Pradesh, India, Bhavana S
Published: November 2023

Solar panel has been used increasingly in recent years to convert solar energy to electrical energy. The solar panel can be used either as a stand-alone system or as a large solar system that is connected to the electricity grids. The earth receives 84 Terawatts of power and our world extracts about 12 Terawatts of power per day. To extract maximum energy from the sun using solar panel and conversion from solar to electrical energy is the difficult task. To overcome this, the solar panels have to be positioned towards the sun. Thus the tracking of the sun’s location and positioning of the solar panel are important. The objective of this project is to design an automatic tracking system, which can locate position of the sun. The tracking system will move the solar panel so that it is positioned perpendicular to the sun for maximum energy extraction at all time. Hence the efficiency of the system may increased to about 16 percent to 20 percent. Light Dependent Resistors (LDR) will be used as sensors in this system.

THE SCIENCE OF HIRING : Predicting Personality through CV Parsing & Machine Learning
Authors: Journal IJSREM
Published: November 2023

Personality plays a crucial role in various aspects of human life, including career development, interpersonal relationships, and overall well-being. Traditional methods of assessing personality traits often rely on self-report questionnaires and subjective assessments, which can be biased and time-consuming. With the advancement of technology, there has been a growing interest in exploring alternative approaches to predict personality traits accurately and efficiently. This paper presents a novel approach to personality prediction using Curriculum Vitae (CV) analysis. The model for parsing the data utilizes Logistic Regression, a machine learning algorithm. Pyresparser, a tool, is employed to extract relevant information from a CV or resume. The proposed personality prediction system based on CV analysis has several potential applications. It can assist employers in the recruitment process by providing insights into the personality traits of job applicants, helping to identify suitable candidates for specific roles and improving the overall hiring decision- making process. Additionally, it can be used in career counselling and personal development settings, providing individuals with valuable feedback on their strengths, weaknesses, and potential areas for improvement.

Published: November 2023

Tin phosphate can be used for electrolyte applications. The solid electrolyte industry has experienced significant growth in recent years. In 2020, the market size of the solid electrolyte industry was estimated at $17.8 million and is expected to reach $56.6 million by 2030 at a CAGR of 12.1% from 2021 to 2030. The growth of the solid electrolyte industry is driven by the increasing demand for batteries. Solid-state batteries are becoming a promising alternative to conventional lithium-ion batteries. This research produces tin phosphate nanoparticles through the synthesis of tin phosphate/GO with a modification of the Hummers reaction, using the GO template method which is used to control the morphology and crystal structure of the synthesized material, and calcined to remove GO and produce tin phosphate powder. The research results show that graphite milling time influences the size of the tin phosphate powder produced, and the size of the Graphene Oxide (GO) template also influences the size of the tin phosphate powder. Grinding time also affects the weight of the powder before and after calcination, as well as the amount of GO and tin phosphate produced. The graphite addition ratio also had a significant effect on the weight of the tin phosphate/GO samples before and after calcination. The ratio of adding 2 grams of graphite to 1 gram of tin produces an optimal weight of tin phosphate after calcination, indicating the effectiveness of using GO as a tin growth template. In addition, XRD analysis showed the identification of three dominant compound phases in the resulting powder, namely potassium ditin (IV) tris(phosphate(V)) (KO12P3Sn2), tin phosphate (SnP2O7), and potassium ferrate (FeKO2).

Determinants of Commercial Real Estate Market Performance: The Case of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Authors: Immanuel Thomas , Andualem Getie
Published: November 2023

Numerous social and economic problems are brought on by urbanisation, including worse-than-ever housing shortages in emerging nations and an increase in the number of people living unlawfully in slums without permits or property rights. This is also applicable to Ethiopia. The investigation of the factors influencing Addis Ababa’s commercial real estate market performance was the study’s principal goal. Explanatory sequential mixed method design was used in the study, which took a mixed research strategy. Senior specialists, top business leaders, and other professionals from 35 commercial real estate developers active in Addis Abeba made up the study sample for the quantitative phase. It was decided to employ 163 of the 231 structured and self-administered sets of questions that were provided. This resulted in an actual response rate of 71%, which was deemed both necessary and sufficient for running the relevant statistical analyses. 15 key informants from important government ministries or agencies, as well as relevant industrial sectors, were chosen to participate in in-depth interviews for the qualitative phase of the study. Only ten significant informants, however, volunteered to be interviewed. The quantitative study’s findings revealed that every factor—firm efficiency, supplier dependability, and customer purchase intentions, as well as credit availability, marketing strategy, legal considerations, land availability, infrastructure development, technological adoption, and leadership quality—had a significant and positive impact on Addis Ababa’s commercial real estate market performance. The qualitative analysis found that additional variables such as political and economic instability, the degree of coordination and stakeholder participation, political interference, and house purchasers’ purchasing power influenced commercial real estate performance. To improve performance, the researcher suggests that real estate enterprises adopt an effective strategy that focuses on performance-improving variables and collaborate closely with the government and other stakeholders. Finally, the proposed framework for measuring performance in the commercial real estate business should guide commercial real estate developers.

En este siglo de la información, los docentes debemos estar al tanto con [as nuevas tecnologías que van surgiendo día a día. Y debemos estar inmersos en este nuevo mundo lleno de tecnología y espacios virtuales. Y la educación no se escapa de estos avances, y en especial el área de matemáticas, la cual ha sido por siempre una de las materias mas polémicas en cuanto a sus procesos de enseñanza y aprendiza. Es aquí donde nos preguntamos porque los estudiantes no comprenden matemáticas durante once años que cursan y llegan a un nivel universitario y en la mayoría de los casos nos toca devolvernos. ¿El problema es los estudiantes o de los docentes?, con este proyecto pretendemos orientar a los docentes de matemáticas como pueden utilizar la tecnología en el aula de clase para realizar simulaciones, operaciones y graficas entre otras las cuales son en su mayoría complicada y tediosas en la realización de un tablero. De igual forma se busca que los estudiantes se sientan más motivados con el uso de tecnologías actuales, a diferencia de otras herramientas y metodologías tradicionales para la enseñanza de la matemática. Al utilizar tecnología en las aulas como son las calculadoras programas para cálculos y graficadores en dispositivos electrónicos, en su mayoría pensamos que el estudiante no puede crear y comprender conceptos matemáticos. Pero la utilización de la tecnología nos permite esto y mucho más , lo que debemos es formar docentes en el uso de las tecnologías que guíen el aprendizaje de los temas de las matemáticas usando TIC, en este proceso el profesor aprenderá como crear algoritmos y programas que permitan identificar el grado de dificultad que poseen los estudiantes en cada uno de los temas de matemáticas.

El presente proyecto pretende continuar, ampliar y perfeccionar el proceso investigativo iniciado el año anterior, en aquel momento durante el desarrollo de la Maestría en Docencia en la Universidad de La Salle, por parte del investigador principal de este proyecto. Pretende también dar cimiento e inicio formal al grupo de investigación pedagógica de la Escuela Tecnológica ITC, GIPEC, y aportar a la enseñanza de las ciencias en nuestro país como ya lo ha hecho en diversos escenarios (La Habana Cuba, 2009. Universidad Pedagógica Nacional, 2009, IDEP Bogotá, 2009). La dificultad de la cual se parte es de encontrar en nuestros estudiantes de primeros semestres de la ETITC, limitaciones relacionadas con el tipo de respuestas dadas a cuestionamientos básicos, carentes de creatividad, racionamiento deductivo, racionamiento lógico, razón de ser del conocimiento, y hasta motivación, que tienden, entre otras cosas a llevarlos a mediano plazo a desorientarlos y hasta engrosar los porcentajes de deserción escolar, esta se constituye en la principal observación que lleva a identificar el problema. La falta de herramientas clave para su propio entendimiento y avance adecuado en su trasegar por la institución, debe llevarnos a buscar solución a tal dificultad.

Dentro del currículo del programa técnico en mecatrónica se encuentran materias que aparentemente no tienen ninguna relación con el tema de robótica. Siendo esto un imaginario inicial que tiene el estudiante al no tener la oportunidad de comprender la diversa interrelación que existe entre las diferentes áreas. Los robots seguidores de línea y luchadores de sumo, que pertenecen a la rama de la robótica móvil, basan su destreza y funcionamiento en factores corno el control. La estructura de soporte y el tipo de actuadores utilizados. Su construcción se encuentra orientada a la participación en concursos y con fines netamente didácticos.
