Employee performance appraisal is an assessment of individual / employee work that is produced that is compared to existing standards of both quality and quantity previously determined to encourage employee morale in increasing their dedication and performance. PT. Andalan Pulp and Paper (PT. RAPP) is a company or industry engaged in the production of paper or pulp and paper (paper) makers and is one of the largest pulp companies in the Asia Pacific. The selection of the best employees of PT. Riau Andalan Pulp and Paper (PT.RAPP) Estate Logas has been conducted every year. However, this election process has not been effective and efficient. Because the implementation is still processed manually using paper and filled in the form for each employee given by the Leader and information received and the decision making process by the leader for a long time. For that, we need a system of best employee decision-making using the SAW (Simple Additive Weighting) method because the basic concept of SAW is to find the sum weighted from the performance of each alternative on all attributes. The system is made based on the web using PHP programming language and MySql database. It is expected that this system will be able to help the selection of the best employees at PT. RAPP Estate Logas and make it easier to solve problems by a leader in a measurable and appropriate manner.

Authors: Putri Prashanti Nyoman Ananda , Kanthi Soraca Widiatmika  , Putu Siska Suryaningsih  , I Wayan Bikin Suryawan
Published: November 2023

Background: Advances in neonatology have led to many preterm infants being saved. Prolonged length of stay (LOS) increases the incidence of neonatal complications and even mortality, placing a significant economic burden on families and strain on healthcare systems. This study aims to determine the factors associated with LOS in preterm infants.

Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 60 preterm babies treated at Wangaya Hospital from May 2022 to May 2023. Infants with congenital anomalies, referred from other hospitals and did not receive appropriate treatment were excluded from the study. Data were taken from the electronic medical record after obtaining ethical clearance and then analyzed using descriptive statistics and linear regression in SPSS 25. Statistical significance was considered at 0.05.

Results: As many as 46 out of 60 preterm infants were born at moderate to late preterm gestational age. The majority of 81.7% of infants were born with a body weight of 1500-2499 grams. The median number of LOS was 7.5 days (IQR 15). Multivariate analysis of numerical independent variables obtained an equation log [LOS] = 2.902-0.066*gestational age+ 0.022*duration of parenteral nutrition (R2 = 78.1%). Meanwhile, in the categorical independent variables obtained, an equation log [LOS] = 0.398 + 0.223*very preterm + 0.144* RDS + 0.178*NEC + 0.206*prolonged antibiotics administration + 0.278*late enteral feeding + 0.148*abdominal distension + 0.144*vomiting (R2 = 87.4%).

Conclusion: Factors influencing LOS of preterm infants are gestational age, duration of parenteral nutrition, the presence of RDS, NEC, vomiting, abdominal distension, late enteral feeding, and prolonged use of antibiotics. It is essential to carry out antenatal care for pregnant women to prevent premature birth.

Authors: Ali E. S. , Elazim S. M. Abd
Published: November 2023

A new metaheuristic method, the Flower Pollination Approach (FPA), based on the pollination process of flowers is proposed in this article for the optimal design of a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) in a multimachine environment. The STATCOM parameter tuning process is converted to an optimization problem which is solved by FPA. The performance of the proposed FPA-based STATCOM (FPASTATCOM) is compared with Genetic Algorithm (GA) based STATCOM (GASTATCOM) under various operating conditions and disturbances. The superiority of the proposed technique in damping oscillations is confirmed via eigenvalues and time domain simulation results over the GA.
Effect of Energy-Efficient Routing for Packet Splitting using Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNS)
Authors: David Adeniji Oluwashola , Akeem Azeez Bukola , Adeyemi Samuel Oladele
Published: November 2023

The most popular Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) protocol utilized for energy optimization of WSN nodes is the Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) protocol, which is a basic energy-efficient routing protocol of hierarchical routing protocol’s family, where the sensor nodes remain static. There is a need to extend the lifetime with respect to reducing the energy consumption of nodes, and this was accomplished using the Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT. In this research large data packets are broken into smaller packets. The focus of the study is to develop an energy routing for splitting packets in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) using Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) techniques. A further improvement in WSN lifetime is by utilizing fuzzy logic. Factoring node parameters such as residual energy of nodes, their centrality within clusters, and their distance to the base station and improving upon the selection of nodes as cluster heads are required. The developed application can be used to reduce the communication cost of Energy efficiency of WSN. The forwarding technique for this research is to split the packet sent by the source node of a WSN so that the maximum number of bits per packet that a node has to transmit is significantly minimized.
Catastrophic Consciousness: A Brief Overview of the Problem
Authors:   Novosibirsk Military Order of Zhukov Institute named after General of the Army I.K. Yakovlev of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation, Novikov Nikolay S.
Published: November 2023

This article presents the relevant for the modern worldview sphere of philosophical reflection on the interaction between consciousness and reality as well as on the way thinking matches its content. The author takes a historical look at the ideas concerning the controversial problems of consciousness, from the views of Confucius and Socrates to the reasoning of modern authors about certain aspects of consciousness leading all subsequent human activity to catastrophic results. In the context of this issue, various approaches to the interaction of human and society with the outside world are demonstrated, as well as the historically developed views on harmonization (the idea of the cosmos as an orderly system of world order in ancient Greece and the laws of Heaven in Chinese pre-philosophy). The paper traces the origins of understanding those aspects of people’s attitude towards property in which one can find the basis for the catastrophic consciousness characteristic of our time. The formation and functioning of “names” in the system of existence is considered, which is presented in the theoretical principles developed by A.F. Losev. In addition, the paper analyses ideas about the possibility of achieving harmony in human relationships in the system of social existence and in the psychology of behaviour of crowds and individuals, as well as the existential views of the latter leading to actions with catastrophic attitudes. Moreover, the theoretical positions of D.S. Sommer and M.K. Mamardashvili’s school are compared. V.P. Vizgin’s article on catastrophic thinking and its main forms of manifestation is considered in detail. This paper uses comparative methods, historical analysis and interdisciplinary synthesis in combination with the techniques of abstraction and analogy

Authors: Chong Chee Seng , Davis Chris , Kim Jeesun
Published: November 2023

We present a Cantonese emotional speech dataset that is suitable for use in research investigating the auditory and visual expression of emotion in tonal languages. This unique dataset consists of auditory and visual recordings of ten native speakers of Cantonese uttering 50 sentences each in the six basic emotions plus neutral (angry, happy, sad, surprise, fear, and disgust). The visual recordings have a full HD resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels and were recorded at 50 fps. The important features of the dataset are outlined along with the factors considered when compiling the dataset. A validation study of the recorded emotion expressions was conducted in which 15 native Cantonese perceivers completed a forced-choice emotion identification task. The variability of the speakers and the sentences was examined by testing the degree of concordance between the intended and the perceived emotion. We compared these results with those of other emotion perception and evaluation studies that have tested spoken emotions in languages other than Cantonese. The dataset is freely available for research purposes.

Published: November 2023

Dakwah content is material or content created and delivered with the aim of spreading the teachings of Islam and transforming the thoughts, attitudes, and actions of individuals or communities to be closer to Allah SWT. The method used in this research is qualitative descriptive with a phenomenological approach. The research findings indicate that dakwah content covering religious topics, social issues, and personal lives of teenagers has an appeal to them. Dakwah practitioners need to act as filters and ensure that the dakwah content delivered through digital media, including YouTube, has beneficial value and aligns with religious teachings. Digital media, especially YouTube, provides great opportunities to spread positive and valuable dakwah messages. Dakwah content has significant potential for growth through the use of digital media, particularly the YouTube platform. However, dakwah practitioners need to address challenges such as appropriate use of digital media, considering controversies in dakwah content, and understanding the interests and needs of their audience. In facing controversies surrounding dakwah content on the YouTube platform, the complex differences in perspectives should be acknowledged. Therefore, it is important to use appropriate language, select non-controversial dakwah materials, and maintain the accuracy and validity of the content delivered. These steps are taken to avoid unwanted controversies and prevent potential negative impacts.

Authors: Fahrimal Yuhdi , Husna Asmaul
Published: November 2023

Flooding is a hydrometeorological disaster that still poses a threat to people’s lives, especially in rural areas such as Blang Beurandang Village, West Aceh District. Ecological conditions, deforestation, and uncontrolled land use change increase the risk of flooding in an area, in addition to high-intensity rainfall factors. Flood mitigation efforts are not only a structural-technical approach but also require an understanding of community knowledge and experiences that are exchanged in social interactions. Using the concept of community-based risk communication, this research was conducted to explain the risk communication practices carried out by the community of Blang Beurandang Village in dealing with recurrent floods. Data was collected through interviews with ten community informants, who were selected based on predetermined criteria. The results showed that at the community level, risk perception is formed as a subjective assessment of environmental vulnerability, socio-economic vulnerability, hazards, and capacity. Risk perception plays a role in encouraging communities to seek flood risk information from easily accessible sources and use the information channels they have. We recommend a community-based risk communication model that considers the interrelated dimensions of risk perception and risk communication.

Cases of fire or accidents at gas stations are still common, recorded during 2016-2018 around 120 cases that resulted in losses for both entrepreneurs and consumers and the community. In this research, simulation and explosion modelling will be carried out using the CFD FLACS software. The case used in this research is at Petrol station X with input variables (wind direction, surface roughness, and day and night conditions). The dispersion simulation results show that the dispersion that occurs cause kidney damage. The explosion simulation results show that the highest overpressure is 0.0064 barg, which is in the scenario of north wind direction, night conditions, and surface roughness of 0.03 m. The overpressure does not cause any damage.
Thermal and Energy Influences of Double Skin Façade Towards Green Buildings in Tropical Classified Countries
Authors: Yonghuort Lim  , Mohd Rodzi Ismail
Published: November 2023

Double skin façade (DSF) has emerged as a decisive strategy for improving building thermal performance and energy efficiency. In various climatic conditions, DSF will perform differently and accordingly. However, the whole building performance of the DSF has never been studied in a broad climatic condition. As a result, there will be a high risk that the system will underperform conventional façade. This study adopted a quantitative approach with computational simulation software, EnergyPlus, to analyze the thermal behavior and energy efficiency of both single skin façade (SSF) and DSF systems. The investigation focused on an overall Köppen classified tropical climate category, which encompasses tropical rainforest (Af), tropical monsoon (Am), tropical savanna with dry winter (Aw), and tropical savanna with dry summer (As) climates. The primary finding indicates that the SSF in various tropical-classified groups exhibits diverse thermal behaviors throughout the year, from month to month and from orientation to orientation. The climate of each tropical classification distinctly influences the performance of both façades. The air temperature and relative humidity in both SSF and DSF office zones remained within a predictable range throughout the year. Thermal behavior and energy consumption fluctuated considerably on a monthly basis but only marginally on an annual basis. This similarity explains how buildings in the four cities consumed distinctly comparable cooling energy consumptions. The study also indicates that, even without a shading device, the DSF could still outperform the conventional facades. In all climatic contexts, energy consumption for cooling could be diminished by more than 40%, and the air temperature in the office zones was decreased to around 4°C while relative humidity was increased by 1% to 5%. Hence, an appropriate DSF design could be employed on office buildings in the overall classified tropical climates to attain energy efficiency through thermal enhancement from the façade’s second layers.

Authors: Karima Heguehoug Benkara-Mostefa  , Rahima Benchabi-Lanani
Published: November 2023

This paper presents a numerical study of two-dimensional, turbulent flow with heat transfer in a corrugated channel using 3% of Al2O3 nanoparticles volume fraction dispersed in a basic fluid (water) with a particle diameter of 30nm. The equations governing the flow are: the energy equation to model heat transfer, the momentum equations and the continuity equation. To simulate different values ​​of the Reynolds number ranging from 1000 to 6000, the CFD code Ansys- Fluent based on the finite volume method is used. For turbulence modeling, the k-ε realizable model was used. The results are validated by other scientific work. Nu, skin friction coefficient, pressure drop and PEC factor are explored. We noted that the increase in the Reynolds number leads to an increase in the average Nusselt and a decrease in the coefficient of friction. Particular attention is paid to the generation of transfer entropy, friction and general entropy as well as the Bejan number. The transfer entropy generated in the fluid crossing the channel as well as the Bejan number decrease with the increase of the Reynolds while that of the friction increases. In addition, the use of nanofluid (Al2O3/water) gives better heat transfer than pure water.

Published: November 2023

As the electronic device is becoming more advance, the traditional cooling fan in becoming more constrained to its limited dimensions or space. The compact electronic devices with substantial power requirements and tiny electronic components are prone to overheating. This is because these devices dimensions make heat transmission less efficient, making the overheating more likely. Because of the increasing need for smaller devices, makers of electronic components are being compelled to pack transistors into ever-smaller places. This has led to an increase in the amount of overheating that occurs because thermal flow is being constrained. The current period, with its thin and compact electronics, calls for an improved method of cooling, and the synthetic jet-cooling technique will be the subject of the attention of this particular piece of research. The purpose of this study is to discuss the working principles and numerical technique for the synthetic jet cooling that was used in the earlier investigations which investigate the frequency, the distance between synthetic jet and heater, size of the synthetic jet nozzle and size of the synthetic jet volume. In order to make additional progress in enhancing the advancement of synthetic jet technology, it is vital to reviews relevant past research that falls within the area of the study. In addition, as compared to experimental efforts, the numerical technique may result in cost savings and time savings. The use of numerical simulation is essential for accelerating the improvement of the synthetic jet product since it opens up a large potential in the use of electronic devices.

Published: November 2023

Blowdown tower is one of the equipment in closed blowdown system (CBS) in Delay Coker unit in petroleum refinery. The primary intended function of the CBS is to flush out hydrocarbon vapours from coke drum using high pressure steam into blowdown tower. The system is operating in batches and cycles, due to constant operation at various temperature, pressure, and conditions, components are susceptible to various of failures including thermal fatigue, crack, corrosion, and others. Crack incident was observed on the welding of blowdown tower nozzle that connected to closed blowdown system (CBS) piping after 11 years of operation. This paper aims to study the structural integrity and risk level of the CBS system in relation to liquid level in receiving tower (blowdown tower). Dynamic piping stress analysis and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was conducted on this line and blowdown tower nozzle to evaluate the overall material behaviour and assessed the risk of failure. The acceptance criteria of the analysis were set to be based on ASME VIII-Division 2 part 5.2.2 (Elastic Stress Analysis Method) and ASME II-part D. Findings from FEA shows that the failure occurred on the blowdown tower nozzle was due to surge pressure impact from high pressure steam flow to obstructed high liquid elevation at the inlet nozzle. The high surge pressure that happened near the nozzle has caused the stress to exceed allowable level thus initiated the crack in cyclic/ batch service. It is recommended that petroleum refinery to continuously maintain the blowdown tower level below nozzle to prevent similar phenomenon to happen in future.

APPLICATIONS OF SOCIAL NETWORK ANALYSIS IN PROMOTING CIRCULAR ECONOMY: A LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Liao Huchang , Wu Zheng , Liu Fan , Zhang Chonghui
Published: November 2023

Circular economy (CE) is a sustainable alternative to tackle global challenges like climate change, waste, and pollution. The relations, perceptions and behaviors of stakeholders in circular economic activities may form barriers that hinder the circular transition. The promotion of CE requires investigating the interactions and information flow between CE stakeholders from a network perspective. This study revisits the applications of social network analysis (SNA) in promoting CE. Related concepts of CE and the research contents of SNA are reviewed. A bibliometric analysis is conducted to provide a bird’s eye on the research status and trend. On this basis, we summarize the challenges of promoting CE and refine specific problems, around which we review the research status of network modeling methods and statistical measures, information diffusion models, mining methods of perceptions, and social influence analysis. This study outlines the pathways through which SNA contributes to promoting CE, such as through revealing the relational structure and characteristics of stakeholders, forming and changing perceptions of stakeholders, improving behaviors of stakeholders, and examining the development of CE. The lessons learned from the review and future prospects are extensively discussed in combination with the features of the information age from both theoretical and practical perspectives.
Rotational Components of the Sun’s Mean Field
Authors: Sheeley Neil R.
Published: November 2023

This paper uses wavelet transforms to look for the rotational frequencies of the Sun’s mean line-of-sight magnetic field. For a sufficiently high wavelet frequency, the spectra of the dipole, quadrupole, and hexapole field components each show a time-dependent fine structure with periods in the range of 26.5–30 days and their harmonics. These maps confirm that a large enhancement of power at 30 days occurred in the dipole field during 1989–1990, as recorded previously using Fourier techniques. In addition, during some years the maps show power at 26.5 days (or its harmonics), which is clearly distinguishable from the rotation period of 26.9–27.0 days at the Sun’s equator. In at least one case, the 26.5-day period was a wave phenomenon caused by the systematic eruption of active regions at progressively more western locations in the Carrington coordinate system, as if the flux were emerging from a fixed longitude in a faster-rotating subsurface layer. Based on previous studies of the mean field, I conclude that the enhanced wavelet patterns in this paper are regions where magnetic flux is emerging in configurations that strengthen the Sun’s horizontal dipole, quadrupole, and hexapole fields, and (in the case of the more slowly rotating patterns) where this flux is being transported to midlatitudes whose rotation periods are in the range of 28–30 days.
Massive Black Hole Binaries from the TNG50-3 Simulation. II. Using Dual AGNs to Predict the Rate of Black Hole Mergers

Published: November 2023

Dual active galaxy nuclei (dAGNs) trace the population of post-merger galaxies and are the precursors to massive black hole (MBH) mergers, an important source of gravitational waves that may be observed by the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). In Paper I of this series, we used the population of ≈2000 galaxy mergers predicted by the TNG50-3 simulation to seed semi-analytic models of the orbital evolution and coalescence of MBH pairs with initial separations of ≈1 kpc. Here, we calculate the dAGN luminosities and separations of these pairs as they evolve in post-merger galaxies, and show how the coalescence fraction of dAGNs changes with redshift. We find that because of the several gigayear-long dynamical friction timescale for orbital evolution, the fraction of dAGNs that eventually end in an MBH merger grows with redshift and exceeds 50% beyond z
dAGN ≈ 1. Dual AGNs in galaxies with bulge masses ≲1010
M
⊙, or consisting of near-equal-mass MBHs, evolve more quickly and have higher than average coalescence fractions. At any redshift, dAGNs observed with small separations (≲0.7 kpc) have a higher probability of merging before z = 0 than more widely separated systems. Radiation feedback effects can significantly reduce the number of MBH mergers, and this could be manifested as a larger than expected number of widely separated dAGNs. We present a method to estimate the MBH coalescence rate as well as the potential LISA detection rate given a survey of dAGNs. Comparing these rates to the eventual LISA measurements will help determine the efficiency of dynamical friction in post-merger galaxies.
Testing Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA)

Published: November 2023

Regular, automated testing is a foundational principle of modern software development. Numerous widely used continuous integration systems exist, but they are often not suitable for the unique needs of scientific simulation software. Here we describe the testing infrastructure developed for and used by the Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) project. This system allows the computationally demanding MESA test suite to be regularly run on a heterogeneous set of computers and aggregates and displays the testing results in a form that allows for the rapid identification and diagnosis of regressions. Regularly collecting comprehensive testing data also enables longitudinal studies of the performance of the software and the properties of the models it generates.
Review of the Messor semirufus complex (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) in Greece
Authors: Salata Sebastian , Lapeva-Gjonova Albena , Georgiadis Christos , Borowiec Lech
Published: November 2023

Messor is a diverse genus of Myrmicinae with 168 extant species and subspecies. In the Mediterranean, some of its taxa historically were classified as members of the Messor instabilis group (sensu Santschi), of which 19 are known from the eastern Mediterranean. Here, the Messor semirufus complex of the Balkan Peninsula that assembles a distinct subsection of members of the instabilis group is defined and treated. In total, five species are recorded, including three that are new. Messor atanassovii Atanassov, 1982 is redescribed and confirmed for Bulgaria (Thracian Plain, Struma, and Mesta Valley, Pirin Mt., and Eastern Rhodopi) and Greece (Epirus, Ionian Islands, Central and Eastern Macedonia, and Thraki). Three species are described as new to science: Messor danaes Salata, Georgiadis & Borowiec, sp. nov. (Cyclades: Serifos), Messor kardamenae Salata & Borowiec, sp. nov. (Dodecanese: Kos, Nisyros, Rhodes, and Tilos), and Messor veneris Salata, Georgiadis & Borowiec, sp. nov. (Cyclades: Milos). The fifth member of the complex, Messor creticus Borowiec & Salata, 2019, maintains its status of Cretan endemic.

Published: November 2023

Older adults have an increased risk of adverse drug events related to polypharmacy and potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) use. These patients are even more vulnerable as they transition through different health care settings. In 2023, the American Geriatrics Society published an updated version of the Beers Criteria

, providing updated guidance on identifying and managing PIMs. Nurses and nurse practitioners play important roles in medication management across the continuum of care. The current article aims to illustrate key concepts regarding medication safety and deprescribing for older adult patients during transitions of care. [

Contribution of a Ca2+-activated K+ channel to neuronal bursting activities in the Chay model
Authors: Feng Danqi , Chen Yu , Ji Quanbao
Published: November 2023

The central nervous system extensively expresses Ca2+-stimulated K+ channels, which serve to use Ca2+ to control their opening and closing. In this study, we explore the numerical computation of Hopf bifurcation in the Chay model based on the equilibrium point's stability and the center manifold theorem to illustrate the emergence of complicated neuronal bursting induced by variation of the conductance of the Ca2+-sensitive K+ channel. The results show that the formation and removal of various firing activities in this model are due to two subcritical Hopf bifurcations of equilibrium based on theoretical computation. Furthermore, the computational simulations are shown to support the validity of the conceptual approach. Consequently, the conclusion could be helpful to improve and deepen our understanding of the contribution of the Ca2+-sensitive K+ channel.
