Published: August 2024

The goal of this study is to ascertain how Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) adoption software is affected in small and medium-sized businesses in Jordan by the problems and barriers represented by (low knowledge of ERP, misperception, lack of resources, financial worries, and employee resistance). The following titles of employees in Jordanian small and medium-sized businesses' departments of information technology made up the study population: (Department Manager, Assistant Department Manager, Head of Department, and Software Officer). To accomplish the goals of the study, the investigator employed a basic random sample of the study population, wherein (160) questionnaires were distributed and (152) were retrieved. The descriptiveanalytic approach was employed in conjunction with various statistical techniques, the most notable of which was the "T" test for one sample (One SampleT–test), and the statistical package program was utilized for statistical analysis and testing of hypotheses. Use SPSS. The study's conclusions include the existence of a statistically significant relationship between Jordanian SMEs' software implementation and their lack of resources, financial concerns, and inadequate ERP understanding. On the other hand, misperception and employee resistance had no statistically significant effect on the implementation of software in Jordanian SMEs. In light of this, the study made several recommendations, the most significant of which is the establishment of an independent committee of senior management experts in information systems and information technology to monitor a variety of data regarding the readiness and effectiveness of the software. As well as involving the user in the ERP implementation from the beginning, because operations management may clearly and effectively benefit from the end-user's assistance in formulating operations that accurately and firmly fulfil daily work needs

The establishment of sustainable campuses acts as a catalyst, fostering a Living Lab environment where active community engagement is crucial. Recognizing the pivotal role of waste management, university campuses prioritize detailed mapping and characterization of organic waste streams. This process paves the way for the identification of alternative scenarios that reduce and divert waste from landfills through valorization routes such as composting and anaerobic digestion. Acknowledging students' pivotal role in shaping sustainable solutions, their perceptions of solid waste separation assume significance. The effectiveness of the current separation system is critical, especially given the monitoring of bin contamination levels, revealing hindrances to organic waste valorization. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) emerges as a valuable tool for identifying alternative scenarios for waste reduction and diversion, encompassing anaerobic digestion, composting, and waste-to-food strategies. This study centers on evaluating and reshaping student perspectives on organic waste separation and end-of-life waste management through LCA. A comprehensive survey was designed to elucidate current perspectives on the efficiency and communication of the existing waste management system. Student insights into waste separation practices revealed that the major barriers to effective waste management practices on campus include a lack of education and awareness regarding waste separation. The survey findings also underscore the significance of LCA not only in measuring carbon footprints but also in influencing perceptions and behaviors towards sustainable waste management practices. In conclusion, our study contributes to the discourse on embedding sustainability in educational settings, offering valuable insights for institutions aspiring to drive positive change through innovative waste management strategies.
PMSM Design for Elevators: Determination of the Basic Topology Affecting Performance
Authors: AVŞAR Yusuf , SOYASLAN Mucahit , FENERCIOGLU Ahmet
Published: August 2024

In recent years, with the increase in high-rise building construction, there has been a rise in demand for elevators. This demand has spurred mutual growth between the vertical transportation sector and high-rise building construction. Both sectors are improving technology, security, and comfort standards. Traditional elevator traction machines typically employ asynchronous motors coupled with geared reducers, despite their low energy efficiency and requirement for large machine rooms. However, with the proliferation of rare-earth magnet materials and advancements in driver technologies, the use of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSMs) in elevator traction machines has increased. PMSMs operate with direct drive, eliminating the need for reducers. High efficiency and passenger comfort are crucial parameters for elevator traction machines. This study focuses on identifying the fundamental topology that could influence the performance of PMSMs for gearless elevator machines. Factors such as stator materials, rotor structures, permanent magnets, winding configurations, slot/pole combinations, cogging torque and torque ripple have been examined to select suitable design topologies for elevator motors. Important topics such as the magnetic properties of grain-oriented silicon steel sheets used in stator construction, B-H curves, lamination forming and stacking factors have been addressed. Two different rotor topologies and magnet arrangements, namely internal and external, have been investigated in PMSM designs. Additionally, the use of four different magnet materials, namely AlNiCo, Ferrite, NdFeB, and SmCo have been compared for PMSM traction motors in elevators. Single-layer and double-layer winding configurations, distributed and concentrated winding configurations have been compared. Fractional slot/pole combinations, which directly affect the performance and comfort of PMSMs, have also been examined based on information obtained from the literature. Particularly, structures with high winding factors, such as 12/10, 12/14, 18/16, 18/20, 24/22, and 24/26 have been identified. Finally, studies on skewing to reduce cogging torque and torque ripple have been addressed.

On Graded 2-n-Submodules of Graded Modules Over Graded Commutative Rings
Authors: AL- ZOUBI Khaldoun
Published: August 2024

In this article, all rings are commutative with a nonzero identity. Let G be a group with identity e, R be a G-graded commutative ring, and M be a graded R-module. In 2019, the concept of graded n-ideals was introduced and studied by Al-Zoubi, Al-Turman, and Celikel. A proper graded ideal I of R is said to be a graded n-ideal of R if whenever r,s∈h(R) with rs∈I and r∉Gr(0), then s∈I. In 2023, the notion of graded n-ideals was recently extended to graded n-submodules by Al-Azaizeh and Al-Zoubi. A proper graded submodule N of a graded R-module M is said to be a graded n-submodule if whenever t∈h(R), m∈h(R) with tm∈N and t∉Gr(Ann_R (M)), then m∈N. In this study, we introduce the concept of graded 2-n-submodules of graded modules over graded commutative rings generalizing the concept of graded n-submodules. We investigate some characterizations of graded 2-n-submodules and investigate the behavior of this structure under graded homomorphism and graded localization. A proper graded submodule U of M is said to be a graded 2-n-submodule if whenever r,s∈h(R), m∈(M) and rsm∈U, then rs∈Gr(Ann_R (M)) or rm∈U or tm∈U.

Published: August 2024

Natural resources are fundamental to the survival and development of human populations, and their exploitation is associated with problems such as resource depletion and environmental degradation. Within the borders of the Lublin Coal Basin (LZW) there is the Łęczna-Włodawa Lake District, which includes over 60 lakes. It is one of the most valuable natural areas in the Lublin Voivodeship and the entire region. Due to the undoubted impact of LZW, as well as the lack of detailed botanical studies in the existing literature, research has been undertaken since the 1980s to analyse the floristic and ecological vegetation of aquatic and coastal plants of 6 lakes in the mine's impact zone. Macrophytes are recognized by the WFD as one of the key groups suitable for freshwater biomonitoring and for ecological classification purposes. The conducted research confirmed the progressive degradation of the analyzed lakes. Since the 1990s, there have been significant changes in the use of the area covered by the analyses. The share of built-up areas has significantly increased, but also the share of surface waters. The share of built-up areas has significantly increased, but also the share of surface waters. The qualitative and quantitative structure of macrophytes has undergone very significant changes towards a reduction in the number of species and phytodiversity. The share of species in fertile habitats has increased. Despite the introduction of various forms of legal protection in this area, changes in the depletion of biodiversity are continuing.

Tin-Based Keggin-Type Phosphomolybdate and Silicomolybdate as Catalysts for the Green Synthesis of Adipic Acid
Authors: MOUHEB Lynda , DERMECHE Leila , RABIA Cherifa
Published: August 2024

The catalytic activity of two series of Keggin-type salts of formula Cs4-xSnxSiMo12O40 (x: 0.5 and 1) and Cs3-xSnxPMo12O40 (x: 0.25-1) was examined in the liquid phase cyclohexanone oxidation to adipic acid (AA) in the solvent absence. The materials were prepared and characterized by FTIR, UV-Vis and SEM. The adipic acid synthesis was carried out at 90°C in presence of hydrogen peroxide (30%), a green oxidant that produces only water as by-product. The effects of catalyst/substrate molar ratios and time reaction on dipic acid yields were studied. The results of this study showed that the POM-H2O2 system was found to be efficient for the production of adipic acid from the oxidation of cyclohexanone and the yields were closely dependent on the operating conditions. The highest AA yield (55%) was obtained with Cs2Sn0.5PMo12O40 using a catalyst/substrate molar ratio of 3.7×10-3 and a reaction time of 20h.

Authors: Aasma Ants , Natarajan Pinnangudi Narayanasubramanian
Published: August 2024

We define the notion of \(\alpha\)-absolute convergence with speed, where the speed is defined by a monotonically increasing positive sequence \(\lambda\) and \(0< \alpha \leq 1\). Also we present the notion of \(\alpha\)-absolute \(\lambda\)-conservativity of a matrix, and the notion of improvement of \(\alpha\)-absolute \(\lambda\)-convergence by a matrix. Let \(l_{\alpha}^{\lambda}\) be the set of all \(\alpha\)-absolutely \(\lambda\)-convergent sequences and \(Y\) a sequence space defined by another speed \(\mu\). In this paper, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a matrix \(A\) (with real or complex entries) to map \(l_{\alpha}^{\lambda}\) into \(Y\). We also present some examples of matrices being \(\alpha\)-absolutely \(\lambda\)-conservative or improving the \(\alpha\)-absolute \(\lambda\)-convergence, and consider these problems in the special cases if \(A\) is the Riesz matrix \((R,p_{n})\) or the Zweier matrix \(Z_{1/2}\).

Disputa por los bienes naturales: militarización y fuerzas armadas en México
Authors: Azamar-Alonso Aleida
Published: August 2024

En la década de 1980, América Latina comenzó a transitar de gobiernos militares a democracias representativas en 15 países. Este proceso, aunque diverso en su ejecución, no logró eliminar completamente la influencia militar, que sigue siendo evidente en muchas áreas de gobierno. La persistente violencia en la región ha llevado a varios países a militarizar la seguridad pública, utilizando fuerzas militares para enfrentar el crimen organizado, que ha superado la capacidad de las fuerzas policiales. Este proceso de militarización ha debilitado las instituciones democráticas y exacerbado la violencia, complicando la consolidación de la democracia. La crisis económica de la década de 1980 y la globalización crearon nuevas oportunidades para el crimen organizado, aumentando la violencia y la cooperación entre estos grupos y las fuerzas de seguridad. En países como México, la "guerra contra el narcotráfico" ha ejemplificado cómo la militarización, en lugar de reducir la violencia, ha intensificado el conflicto. En resumen, la militarización de la seguridad pública en América Latina ha sido una respuesta a la creciente violencia, pero ha tenido el efecto de socavar los avances democráticos en la región.

A field experiment was conducted during 2015-16 to 2017-18 at Seed Spice Research Station,S.D.Agricultural University, Jagudan on “Effect of sowing time and spacing on growth, yield and economics of cumin(Cuminum cyminum L.)”. The soil was loamy sand in texture, neutral in soil reaction, with low in organic carbon, medium in available phosphorus and potash. There were four treatments of sowing date and three spacings were replicated thrice in factorial concept of randomized block design. Sowing of cumin on 5th November recorded significantly the higher values of number of branches per plant, plant height, number of umbellate per umbel, umbels per plant and test weight(g). Cumin sown at recommended distance i.e. 30 cm apart gave significantly the highest values of all the growth and yield parameters over rest of the treatments i.e. broadcasting and 15 cm between two rows. Crop sown at 30 cm apart on 5th November recorded significantly higher plant height, number of branches and umbels per plant as well as number of umballates per umbel over rest of the treatments. Similarly highest seed yield of cumin crop achieved when crop sown at 30 cm apart on 5th November. The superior values of yield attributes noticed under optimum spacing and proper sowing time may be attributed to better growth and development of individual plants. The crop sown at 30 cm apart  on 5th November recorded higher net realization and BCR as compared to rest of the treatment combinations. The volatile oil did not affected due to different sowing time and spacing. Thus, to avail the benefits of no cost technology and to generate the higher income and net realization, cumin crop should be sown at 30 cm row distance on 5th November.

Published: August 2024

Hand accidents are frequent disorders in medical services. These can occur due to a work or home accident and in all cases it is about recovering the greatest possible functionality of the hand. The conditions in which the patient arrives at the emergency room determine the treatment that specialists must define and the operating procedure to be applied in each case. The pedicled hand graft technique in the treatment of amputation of the pad of the fourth finger is one of the alternatives used and the collaboration offered by the patient contributes greatly during recovery. Some cases may be more affected by the incidence of underlying diseases that delay recovery and assimilation of a medication. A case is presented where the defined procedure was satisfactory for the patient and the recovery of the main functions of the hand affected in the accident.

Published: August 2024

Introduction: rubella is an immunopreventable viral disease that can have serious consequences, especially in pregnant women. In Ecuador, vaccination and epidemiological surveillance programs have been essential to control the disease. Therefore, this research has focused on analyzing the current situation of rubella in Ecuador, by evaluating the effectiveness of vaccination and epidemiological surveillance strategies for the control of the disease. Method: an analysis was carried out based on an observational, descriptive and retrospective design of epidemiological data and vaccination coverage since the implementation of rubella vaccination programs in Ecuador. Results: since the last endemic case recorded in 2004, Ecuador has not reported new cases of endemic rubella. This is due to the fact that vaccination coverage has reached high levels, contributing significantly to the elimination of endemic transmission of the virus. However, sporadic imported cases have been reported, hence epidemiological surveillance strategies have been applied for rapid detection and response to possible outbreaks. Conclusions: vaccination programs and epidemiological surveillance protocols in Ecuador have been effective in eliminating endemic rubella. However, the appearance of sporadic cases highlights the need to maintain and strengthen these strategies. Therefore, the population must be educated and universal access to vaccination must be ensured to prevent the reintroduction of the disease. Furthermore, future studies should focus on identifying and overcoming specific barriers to increasing vaccination coverage in all communities.

Body fluids are those excreted or secreted from the body. In the laboratory, the use of the term “body fluids” designates a category that excludes blood and urine. Determining the etiologic cause of fluid accumulation in various body cavities (i.e., joints, chest, and abdomen) is critical for proper treatment of various disorders. To evaluate the correlation and agreement of leucocyte and erythrocyte count in body fluids among Improved Neubauer Chamber and automated method using Sysmex XN-1000 body fluid module. A total of 500 routinely collected body fluid samples (CSF, ascitic fluid, pericardial fluid and pleural fluid) were included in the study. Total WBC counts were performed manually using improved Neubauer chamber and microscopic differential counts were performed using Leishman stained slides. Corresponding results of Sysmex XN-1000 body fluid module analysis were matched to these particular count categories. Absolute WBC cell counts showed a high correlation and agreement between methods (r> 0.9, p value=<0.001). However, a fair correlation existed between the lymphocyte percentage and neutrophil percentage measured through the two methods (r= 0.436 and r=0.447 respectively, p < 0.001). Body fluid module application of Sysmex XN-1000 serves as an acceptable alternative to manual method for measuring the total nucleated cell counts and for total RBC count. However, it cannot be recommended as a suitable alternative for manual differential cytologic workup.

Immobilized Saccharomyces pastorianus Cells in Electro-fermentation: A Novel Approach to Bioethanol Production from Mustard Straw
Authors: J. Nisha , Vidya P.
Published: August 2024

The dwindling reserves of non-renewable fuels necessitate the exploration of renewable alternatives such as bioethanol. Utilizing and producing bioethanol locally boosts economies, lowers carbon footprints, and encourages self-sufficiency. One such promising lignocellulosic material that serves as an ethanol source is mustard straw. In this study, 3% sulfuric acid was used to hydrolyse fresh mustard straw, which included 4.75% moisture, 8.1% ash, 40% cellulose, 14.1% hemicellulose and 3.9% lignin, for 30 minutes at 120°C in an improvised reactor. 470-590 µg/ml of fermentable reducing sugars were produced by this procedure, as shown by glucose standardization with a UV spectrophotometer set at 540 nm. Saccharomyces pastorianus, a very effective strain of yeast that produces ethanol, has been isolated and utilized in an electro-fermentation system. In comparison to free cells, immobilizing yeast cells in calcium alginate beads provided benefits like simpler product recovery, cost-effectiveness, stability, and reusability in further fermentation procedures. The electro-fermentation process can be utilized to optimize metabolic processes taking place during fermentation and the immobilization of yeast is used to increase the ecological competence of cultures. In order to produce ethanol, the immobilized yeast cells were employed as the inoculum, with free-cell inoculum acting as the control. In comparison to free-cell cultures, immobilization led to a considerable increase in ethanol generation (15µg/ml) when external voltage of 3V was supplied. The generation of ethanol was seen decreased to14µg/ml when an external voltage of 4V was applied, in comparison to controls. These results show that modest external voltage applications can affect the ethanol production. The ethanol's identity was confirmed by the FTIR spectrum, which displayed the broad bandwidth of O-H stretch of alcohols in 3500-3200 cm-1 region, C-H bending at 2000-1650 cm-1 and carboxylic acid, C=C stretch around 1400-1395 cm-1 and 895-885 cm-1 region respectively. Thus, this work emphasizes the potential of electro-fermentation and mustard straw in the production of sustainable bioethanol.
