Self-regulated learning and the future of diagnostic reasoning education
Authors: Goldowsky Alexander , Rencic Joseph
Published: December 2022

Diagnostic reasoning is a foundational ability of health professionals. The goal of enhancing clinical reasoning education is improved diagnostic accuracy and reduced diagnostic error. In order to do so, health professions educators need not only help learners improve their clinical reasoning, but teach them how to develop expert performance. An evidence-based learning strategy that is strongly associated with expert performance is self-regulated learning (SRL). SRL is the modulation of “self-generated thoughts, feelings, and actions that are planned and cyclically adapted to the attainment of personal goals”. At this time, there is little data on the use of SRL to improve diagnostic reasoning. However, there appear to be numerous opportunities to utilize SRL in novel ways to improve diagnostic reasoning given what is already known about this competency. Examples that are discussed include the role SRL can play in simulation, clinical experiences, assessment, and novel technologies such as virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. SRL is central to the philosophy that health professionals are life-long learners, as it teaches learners “how to learn”. SRL has the potential to help achieve the goal of improved diagnostic accuracy and reduced diagnostic error.

Published: December 2022

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a biopolymer present in various human tissues, whose degradation causes tissue damage and diseases. The oxidized hyaluronic acid/adipic acid dihydrazide (oxi-HA/ADH) hydrogels have attracted attention due to their advantages such as thermosensitivity, injectability, in situ gelation, and sterilization. However, studies are still scarce in the literature as microcarriers. In that sense, this work is a study of oxi-HA/ADH microparticles of 215.6 ± 2.7 µm obtained by high-speed shearing (18,000 rpm at pH 7) as cell microcarriers. Results showed that BALB/c 3T3 fibroblasts and adipose mesenchymal stem cells (h-AdMSC) cultured on the oxi-HA/ADH microcarriers presented a higher growth of both cells in comparison with the hydrogel. Moreover, the extrusion force of oxi-HA/ADH microparticles was reduced by 35% and 55% with the addition of 25% and 75% HA fluid, respectively, thus improving its injectability. These results showed that oxi-HA/ADH microcarriers can be a potential injectable biopolymer for tissue regeneration applications.
Does Financial Dominance Explain the Recent Rise in Inflation?
Authors: Winkler Adalbert
Published: December 2022

This paper addresses the question whether the recent rise in inflation can be explained by financial dominance. It is motivated by the fact that the monetary policy response has been slow and timid which might have reflected concerns that a proper response would have triggered substantial financial risks. We find that a misjudgement of aggregate supply conditions provides a better explanation than financial dominance arguments. Still, recent policy moves such as the Transmission Protection Instrument by the European Central Bank and asset purchases by the Bank of England indicate that financial dominance concerns might become more pressing with further monetary tightening.

Metformin is a biguanide, evolved as one of the most widely used medicines. The applications of this component include but are not limited to reducing blood glucose, weight loss, and polycystic ovary syndrome. Studies about other probable indications have emerged, indicating that this agent can also be utilized for other purposes. In this review, applications of metformin are noticed based on the current evidence. Metformin commonly is used as an off-label drug in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), but it worsens inflammation and should not be used for this purpose, according to the latest research. Metformin decreased the risk of death in patients with liver cirrhosis. It is an effective agent in the prevention and improvement of survival in patients suffering hepatocellular carcinoma. There is evidence of the beneficial effects of metformin in colorectal cancer, early-stage prostate cancer, breast cancer, urothelial cancer, blood cancer, melanoma, and bone cancer, suggesting metformin as a potent anti-tumor agent. Metformin shows neuroprotective effects and provides a potential therapeutic benefit for mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It also has been shown to improve mental function and reduce the incidence of dementia. Another condition that metformin has been shown to slow the progression of is Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Regarding infectious diseases, tuberculosis (TB) and coronavirus disease (COVID-19) are among the conditions suggested to be affected by metformin. The beneficial effects of metformin in cardiovascular diseases were also reported in the literature. Concerning renal function, studies showed that daily oral administration of metformin could ameliorate kidney fibrosis and normalize kidney structure and function. This study reviewed the clinical and preclinical evidence about the possible benefits of metformin based on recent studies. Numerous questions like whether these probable indications of metformin can be observed in non-diabetics, need to be described by future basic experiments and clinical studies.

Authors: Ou Xionghui , Lu Hezhi , Kong Jingsen
Published: December 2022

In this article, we propose a Gompertz-two-parameter-Lindley distribution by mixing the frailty parameter of the Gompertz distribution with a two-parameter Lindley distribution. The structural properties of the model, such as shape properties, cumulative distribution, quantile functions, moment, moment generating function, failure rate function, mean residual function, and stochastic orders, were derived. Moreover, the unknown parameters are estimated by the profile log likelihood algorithm, and their performance is examined by simulation studies. Finally, a real data example is used to demonstrate the application of the proposed model.

Published: December 2022

This research is motivated by the existence of many potential people who are consumed by hoax information that is available on various social media that are freely circulating in cyberspace. The potential for spreading hoax information in the Salatiga area is very disturbing to the community so that appropriate efforts are needed to overcome these problems. The purpose of this study is to explain the function of gathering intelligence in preventing the spread of hoaxes ahead of the presidential election in the jurisdiction of the Salatiga Police, the mechanism for raising intelligence and explaining the factors that influence it. The knife of analysis in this research is the theory of strategic management, management theory and the concept of raising intelligence. This research was conducted with a qualitative approach with a case study research method, which was then carried out through interviews, observations and document studies and analyzed by reducing data, presenting data and verifying data. The results of this study indicate the function of gathering intelligence in preventing the spread of hoaxes ahead of the presidential election in the jurisdiction of the Salatiga Police. The intelligence-raising mechanism is implemented with planning steps, the implementation of which includes the stages of infiltration, dispersal, denial, direction, investigation of allegiances, shifts, and mergers, as well as evaluating and reporting intelligence-raising actions to the leadership. The influencing factors come from the action agents/intruders who do not have reliable capabilities evenly in the implementation of intelligence-raising actions, the limited budget for intelligence-raising operations, the lack of infrastructure facilities used for intelligence-raising operations and the lack of appropriate methods in implementing the action-raising activities. intelligence, as well as the sensitivity of the target to the actions of infiltrating agents who carry out these intelligence-raising actions. Suggestions in this study are to provide intruders with various intelligence-raising action training standards, and provide intruders with various abilities to approach the public and the ability to utilize technology that can be used for intelligence-raising actions.

Published: December 2022

Corruption is any type of activity based on dishonesty by taking advantage of the position or power held in order to obtain benefits for individuals or other people. In Indonesia itself, it is so synonymous with the problem of corruption, as well as corruption which is identical with Indonesia. This seems to illustrate the impression that Indonesia and corruption are two things that cannot be separated. The problem related to corruption that occurs in Indonesia is indeed quite alarming, the article is that criminal cases of corruption in Indonesia occur non-stop from year to year, almost every year new corruption cases appear with old or new figures. Corruption can be likened to a disease that gnaws at the mentality of Indonesians that seems difficult to treat. Therefore, it is important to change the mindset of the millennial generation from now on to increase awareness of the importance of anti-corruption because the future of Indonesia lies in the current millennial generation. The millennial generation has an important role in reducing and eradicating criminal acts of corruption, therefore, in order for that role to be real, it is necessary to provide training for the millennial generation in fighting corruption in the present or in the future.

Published: December 2022

Multidirectional instability of the shoulder has a complex pathoanatomy. It is characterized by a redundant glenohumeral capsule and increased joint volume.

Subtle clinical presentation, unclear trauma history and multifactorial etiology poseses a great challenge for orthopedic surgeons in terms of diagnosis.

Generally accepted therapeutic approach is conservative and the majority of patients achieve good results with rehabilitation.

In patients who are symptomatic despite appropriate rehabilitation, surgical intervention may be considered.

Good results have been obtained with open inferior capsular surgery, which has historically been performed in these patients.

In recent years, advanced arthroscopic techniques have taken place in this field, and similar results compared to open surgery have been obtained with the less-invasive arthroscopic capsular plication procedure.

Published: December 2022

In mid-2018, a group of researchers from the Geophysical Research Center and the School of Physics of the University of Costa Rica started a project to share knowledge about weather and climate sciences with the cabécar community of Pú Ksogë (9,591 ° N, 82.978 ° W, 114.4 masl), Talamanca, Limón, Costa Rica. The initiative was supported by leaders and educational authorities of that indigenous community at the end of that year. With local labor input and the respective authorization, an automatic meteorological station (Siwá Etka) was installed and left in operation on the grounds of the community school at the beginning of 2019. Details of this project and the first atmospheric data observed in the history of that community are described in this paper. The lack of adequate community control and the lack of interest of the school authorities in the care of the instruments caused problems that did not allow the project to continue, and the station had to be uninstalled in October 2019. The experience had positive phases, but other aspects such as cell phone and internet connectivity, sometimes of very low quality or non-existent at all, also influenced the decision to discontinue the initiative. Contacts made with an association for local development in the region could be an alternative to give continuity to the project.

Authors: Cerdas Rivera Yadira , Hernández López Gabriela
Published: December 2022

This article presents the results of applying a survey instrument to determine a basic diagnosis of opinions with directors and deputy directors of thirty-two university careers in some of the National University’s campuses in 2018. The instrument provides information on the current situation of the integration of extension in the National University’s curriculum from the perspective of the responsible authorities. The results are presented graphically and reflectively throughout the text.At a theoretical level, some pedagogical challenges are previously interpreted from the existing model at the National University, in the way extension is integrated into the curriculum as part of the comprehensive formation of students according to theoretical approaches of authors such as Gabriela Lostaunau, Andrea Rivero, Boaventura de Sousa, Humberto Tommasino, Agustín Cano, Diego Castro, and Hugo Zemelman.Finally, some considerations are proposed to include the extension in the university curriculum from the perspective of the statutory purposes of the National University, such as the dialogue of different types of knowledge and interculturality and critical thinking, which are related to the theoretical-political proposals of authors such as Boaventura de Sousa Santos, and Hugo Zemelman, who consider outward extension and inward extension as agents to strengthen the historical subject of change that promotes autonomy in the university-communities relationship, both in regional and territorial processes.
Preparation and optimization of porous regenerated cellulose microspheres from cellulose tetraethyl-ammonium/urea solution for adsorption of cationic methylene blue dye
Authors: Xu Feng , Cho Byoung-Uk
Published: December 2022

Porous regenerated cellulose microspheres (RCMs) have attracted increasing attention due to their wide range of applications from medical carriers to environmental remediation. Here, porous RCMs were synthesized for adsorption of cationic methylene blue dye using a simple emulsification–acid coagulation–oven-drying technique after dissolving pulp cellulose with a degree of polymerization (DP) of approximately 1500 in tetraethylammonium hydroxide (TEAOH)/urea solvents at room temperature. The RCMs with controllable size (20 to 224 µm) and high pore volume (8.24 to 10.20 mL/g) were prepared by varying the dosage of the surfactant polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate (polysorbate 80). Moreover, the viscosity of the cellulose solution steadily decreased with storage time due to the decrease in cellulose DP, but the effect on the particle size and morphology of RCMs was negligible, which could be advantageous to the scalable production of RCMs. When used as an adsorbent for cationic methylene blue dye removal, it showed high adsorption efficiency (1 h to achieve equilibrium, 24.5 mg/g), stability, recyclability, and reusability.

In Taiwan, approximately 379,000 automobiles and 588,000 motorcycles were recycled in 2019. Rigid polyurethane foam is one of the principal components of auto shredder residue. The amount of rigid polyurethane foam from the recycling of waste vehicles is 8,000 to 10,000 tons/year. In this study, waste Cryptomeria wood was mixed with waste rigid polyurethane foam to form derived fuels. The oxidation behaviors of the wood mixed with waste rigid polyurethane foam-derived fuels were investigated. The characteristics of the derived fuel made from wood mixed with waste rigid polyurethane foam showed that the ash content was less than 2.5% and its calorific value reached 21.9 MJ/kg. According to the Friedman equation, the activation energies of the wood mixed with 5%, 15%, and 30% of waste rigid polyurethane foam pellets were 212, 220, and 188 kJ/mol, respectively. The thermal conversion efficiencies of the wood mixed with 5%, 15%, and 30% of waste rigid polyurethane foam pellets were 30.2% to 48.1% by a water boiling test. The results showed that waste Cryptomeria mixed with waste rigid polyurethane foam-derived fuels is suitable for use as an alternative renewable energy fuel.
SUVS: Secure Unencrypted Voting Scheme
Authors: Larriba Antonio M. , López Damián
Published: December 2022

In this paper, we propose a light-weight electronic voting protocol. The approach used by our protocol to conceal the ballots does not imply encryption, and guarantees the privacy of the direction of the vote unless all the contestants (parties) agree to do so. Our method is based on the division of the ballot into different pieces of information, which separately reveal no information at all, and that can be latter aggregated to recover the original vote. We show that, despite its simplicity, this scheme is powerful, it does not sacrifice any of the security properties demanded in a formal electronic voting protocol, and, furthermore, even in post-quantum scenarios, neither the casted votes can be tampered with, nor the identity of any elector can be linked with the direction of her vote.

Published: December 2022

Objective: To evaluate the surface roughness and microhardness of CAD/CAM lithium disilicate, feldspathic ceramic, polymer infiltrated ceramic and nanohybrid composite before and after the application of bleaching gel. Material and methods: Disc shaped specimens were polished and divided into quadrants for roughness (Ra) and microhardness (Vickers, 19.61 N, 20 s) measurements. The 35% hydrogen peroxide was applied simulating three in-office bleaching sessions. Results: Paired t-test (α=0.05) showed that bleaching gel application did not affect the surface roughness of the tested material. The microhardness of polymeric materials (polymer infiltrated ceramic and nanohybrid composite) presented statistical significant increase (2 % increase, which may be clinically insignificant). Conclusion: Microhardness of polymeric CAD/CAM materials may be affected by bleaching gel application.

Published: December 2022

O objetivo deste artigo é trazer para o terreno da criação literária uma discussão, presente sobretudo no campo das artes visuais, acerca da busca por imagens que gerem algum tipo de estranhamento (ou enigma) e que não sejam apenas o que Baudrillard (1991) denominou simulacro, imagem hegemônica de nossos tempos, pela qual tudo é revelado, exposto, sem provocar nenhum tipo de tensão ou questionamento. O foco de nossa análise recai no romance Nocilla Experience (2013), no qual o escritor espanhol Agustín Fernández Mallo constrói uma narrativa valendo-se de elementos de uma cultura pop e altamente tecnológica, elevando o simulacro, supostamente atrelado a esses elementos, a um novo estatuto estético.

Authors: Nagaraja Rao S. , Manjunatha B.M. , Suresh Kumar A. , Kiran Kumar B.M. , Satish Kumar R. , Pranupa S.
Published: December 2022

In this paper, advanced DC-Link (DCL) based reversing voltage type Multilevel Inverter (MLI) topologies by compensating the difficulties in the conventional MLIs are reviewed. These topologies consist of less switching components and driver circuits when compared with conventional MLIs predominantly in higher levels. Consequently, installation area, total cost and hardware difficulties are reduced by increasing the voltage levels. The unipolar based Pulse Width Modulation Schemes (PWMS) will improve DCL inverters performance. This paper presents unipolar Multi-Reference (MR) based sine and space vector PWMS with single triangular carrier wave for generating required levels in output voltage. Comparison between UMR sine and space vector PWMS for DCL inverter topologies is presented in terms of Fundamental Output Voltage (FOV) and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). The research tries to establish the survey analysis for single-phase 7-level DCL based reversing voltage type MLI topologies with UMR based sine and space vector PWMs. Finally, to confirm the feasibility of proposed DCL-MLIs in terms of FOV and THD the simulation results are incorporated. Further, the prototype model is developed for single-phase 7-level DCL inverter with Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) based UMR sine and space vector PWMS to authenticate simulation results. The efficiency of the proposed cascaded MLI achieves the value of 99.003%.
The Experience of Building a Two-Party System in Soviet Russia (October 1917 – July 1918)
Authors: Mikhail Fadeev , Anatoly Kislyakov
Published: December 2022

The experience of Russia in the Soviet period of its development is of particular interest to domestic and foreign researchers in all its diversity. The process of party building and the establishment of a one-party system in this regard is particularly relevant, especially given the presence of different points of view in historiography on the nature and essence of the process of formation and development of the party-political system in Russia. The article analyzes the events associated with the transformation of the political system from a two-party model to a one-party one. The authors identify the main factors that influenced the dynamics of this process. Particular emphasis is placed on the analysis of changes in domestic politics and the balance of power in the political arena, as well as on the development of a common position within the Bolshevik Party. The source base is the legislative acts of the Soviet government in October 1917 - July 1918, the opinions and memoirs of political figures of the early 20th century, published documents and specific historical studies related to the history of the Left Social Revolutionaries and Bolsheviks, as well as general historical works related to history of October Revolution and Civil War. The methodological basis of the research is such fundamental principles of scientific knowledge as historicism, objectivity, consistency, which involve consideration of historical events and facts in their totality and development, based on the features and specifics of a particular historical period. Descriptive, comparative, statistical, problem-chronological and other methods are also used, in particular, the cultural-anthropological method, which involves the study of the positions of the authors of scientific research in relation to the issues under consideration and its argumentation. As a result of the study, the authors came to the conclusion that the violent seizure of power by the Bolsheviks did not at all mean the immediate establishment of a one-party system. This idea began to be actively formed and put into practice after the signing of the Treaty of BrestLitovsk, when the former allies of the Bolsheviks, the Left Social Revolutionaries, went over to the opposition to their former allies. As a result, the one-party system became a political reality in Soviet Russia only by July 1918, when the internal political situation deteriorated sharply, and Russia's former allies in the Entente switched to open intervention.
Factors of Combat Use of Soviet Aviation in the Conflict with Finland 1939–1940
Authors: Denis German
Published: December 2022

This article is devoted to the analysis of the factors which influenced the effectiveness of the combat use of the Soviet aviation during the Soviet-Finnish war of 1939-1940. The object of the study is the armed forces of the Red Army, the subject of the study is the air force of the Red Army which participated in the war with Finland in 1939-1940. The sources for the work are archival materials - reports on the combat work of the Air Force of the combined arms armies during the conflict, on the use of certain types of aircraft, as well as military command work documents. In addition, the study contains published materials from compilations - documents of the Main Military Council, the Headquarters of the High Command, the command of the Leningrad Military District, as well as the conclusions and minutes of meetings of the Main Military Commission and the Air Force Commission. The aim of the work is to study various conditions and factors which inluenced the work of Soviet pilots during this conflict. The study examined the initial plans and tactics of the Soviet command for the use of aviation, their evolution in the course of hostilities. In addition, various problems and emergency situations which Soviet pilots faced with during the war were analyzed in this study. For the sake of completeness of the study at the end of the article attention is paid to the post-war analysis of the participation of the Soviet aviation in hostilities, and those problems which the Soviet command drew attention to are considered. The main factor underlying the entire combat work of the Soviet aviation at the initial stage of conflict was the fact that for the Soviet command the war with Finland was the first large-scale clash with another state, when a large number of aircraft were to participate in the hostilities. The Soviet leadership simply did not have experience in such operations, did not know how to use aviation correctly and what those operations required for. It were namely these facts which determined the initial not entirely successful tactics of using aviation, the poor preparedness of air reconnaissance. In addition, misunderstanding of the conditions of the future theater of operations played a significant role. Soviet air units were not equipped with the necessary uniforms and machinery. Weather conditions, in turn, also made their own adjustments to the work of aviation. At the same time, it is necessary to point out the insufficient training of pilots.

Las “gallinas ciegas” (Coleoptera: Melolonthidae) son las plagas de suelo más importantes de varios cultivos en México, incluida la caña de azúcar (Saccharum officinarum L.). Los hongos entomopatógenos se ofrecen como una importante alternativa biológica para el manejo de esta plaga, la cual logre reducir la aplicación de insecticidas químicos. Para ello, es importante incrementar los estudios sobre la efectividad biológica de las cepas de hongos entomopatógenos contra este insecto, bajo condiciones semicontroladas, los cuales permitan mejorar su correcta aplicación en campo, para obtener un control eficiente de dicha plaga. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el potencial bioinsecticida de una cepa nativa (MGCPh4) de Metarhizium pinghaense Chen y Guo, en contraste con una cepa comercial de Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) (Fungizium®), y con un insecticida químico granulado Allectus®-GR, contra larvas de Triodonyx lalanza Saylor en macetas de caña de azúcar, bajo condiciones semicontroladas. Las dos cepas de Metarhizium se aplicaron en arroz, a una dosis de 1x105 conidios/cm2, mientras que el insecticida químico se aplicó a una dosis de 30 kg.ha-1. Cada 10 d, después de la aplicación de los tratamientos, se evaluó el porcentaje de larvas muertas, por 60 días. Todos los insecticidas mostraron mortalidad de larvas, aunque Allectus-GR generó una mayor efectividad (33 %) fue estadísticamente similar a la mortalidad generada por la cepa nativa MGCPh4 (22 %), no obstante, el 15 % de mortalidad generado por la cepa comercial Fungizium fue estadísticamente similar al registrado por la cepa MGCPh4.

Miller's prize-winning novel Circe (2019) is an attempt to recreate the histories of the mythological past in the revised versions of herstories. Madeline Miller intends to deconstruct the phallogocentrict narrations which have established the literary canon by recreating the same stories from a feminist perspective. To do so, she rewrites the myth of Circe who is a formidable sorceress and is treated as a minor character in the male-authored The Odyssey. Miller explains what she aims to do as follows: "I wanted her to be the center of the story. I wanted it to be an epic story about a woman's life. And for her to have all the attention and all the adventures and the growth, the errors,the virtues,that heroes like Achilles and Odysseus have in their stories" (Nicolau, 2018, p. 7). In this sense Circe can be described as a "female epic" or a "mythographic metafiction" (Nunes, 2014, pp. 231-232). Miller, along with the perspective, changed the dominant ideologies embedded in man-centered epics and she subverted androcentrism and a hierarchical view of the world with her ecological insight. This article will place the emphasis on Miller's creative use of language through which she promotes a novel understanding of intra and inter-specific relations in the universe. Thus, it will examine Miller's stylistic choices with an ecolinguistic approach by focusing specifically on her use of similes to find out why she employs this figure of speech with high frequency and what discursive effects she has created and what ideological implications her use of similes offer. The ecolinguistic examination of how and why she employs the similes in Circe reveals that Miller skillfully brings together an ecologically conscious language and thought to reflect her vision which can be characterized as ecosophic wisdom.
The Impact of ESG Controversies on Bank Value and Risk-taking

ESG performance is one of the most important non-financial factors investors pay attention to when valuing a bank. Previous studies, devoted to bank ESG performance, rely solely on ESG ratings. The contribution of this paper to the existing literature is investigation of a new measure of ESG performance – ESG controversies. ESG controversies are covered in the media negative news that reflect a bank failure in ESG performance. The goal of this paper is to investigate the influence of negative ESG news on market value and stability of companies in a banking sector.A cross-country sample of 134 banks and data on 1,200 controversies from 2016 to 2020 are used in this study. Our results provide evidence that ESG controversies negatively affect bank value and have no impact on its stability. However, the effect on share prices is not unified: it is stronger for banks that are in the scope of investor attention, and this relation is observed for developed markets with high freedom of press exclusively. Moreover, investors take into consideration the reason of ESG controversy occurrence. They react strongly to negative ESG news, related to community and workforce.
Design for Content Creation Support Application Based on TMS Method
Authors: Aoki Shunsuke
Published: December 2022

In this research, we design a support application for Transmedia storytelling (TMS) content creation. The target of this application is the creators who are not familiar with TMS content creation. Developing a story with the different types of media and delivering a story experience to audiences is much more difficult compared to the content creation with a simple media platform. Therefore, we propose the application that enables users to create TMS content efficiently by following the provided flow from step1 to 8 through which they can create and combine the content elements; stories, characters, story worlds, and story experiences. Thus, this application makes it possible to create TMS content efficiently.
Towards Verifying UML Class Diagram and Formalizing Generalization/Specialization Relationship with Mathematical Set Theory

Published: December 2022

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is considered the de facto standard for object-oriented software model development. This makes it appropriate to be used in academia courses at both the graduate and undergraduate levels of education. Some challenges to using the UML is academia are its large number of model concepts and the imprecise semantic of some of these concepts. These challenges are daunting for students who are being introduced to the UML. One approach that can be taken in teaching UML towards addressing these concerns is to limit the number of UML concepts taught and recognize that students may not be able to develop correct UML system models. This approach leads to research work that develop a limited set of UML model concepts that are fewer in number and have more precise semantics. In this paper, we present a new approach to resolve an aspect of this problem by simplifying the generalization/specialization semantics of the class diagram through the application of mathematical formality to usage of these class diagram concepts. Along with that, we discuss the progress of research in the area of verification of UML class models. This research work derives a core set of concepts suitable for graduate and undergraduate comprehension of UML modeling and defines more precise semantics for those modeling concepts. The applicable mathematical principles applied in this work are from the domains of set theory and predicate logic. This approach is particularly relevant for the pedagogy of software engineering and the development of software systems that require a high level of reliability.
Degradation evaluation of titanium dioxide under stress factors

TiO2 is used in many sectors of industry such as health, food, defense, and energy. It is a well-known fact that TiO2 is especially used in applications in the field of organic hybrid solar cells (OHSC) as an electron transfer layer in the energy sector. However, the OHSCs have a degradation problem because of atmospheric stress factors such as laboratory atmosphere, prolonged light application (light soaking), and UV light. To understand the meta/instability problem in OHSC, it is required to be examined independently for each layer consisting of the solar cell. In this study, the TiO2 layer, widely used in OHSC applications, was grown on a rough glass substrate using a spin coating method. TiO2 layer was structurally and electrically characterized by XRD and photoconductivity methods respectively. TiO2 layer was characterized by exposure step by step to stress factors that are stated to cause electronic meta/instability in organic hybrid solar cells. Mobility-lifetime products were calculated from the flux-dependent photoconductivity and correlated with the electronic defects in the material due to stress factors. The findings in experiments show the laboratory atmosphere creates surface-related defects that can be eliminated by annealing. Light soaking, UV aging, and oxygen aging also create electronic defects associated with bandgap energy positions. These defects are partially eliminated with an annealing application.

Authors: UYAR Mehmet
Published: December 2022

In this study, SimMechanics-based dynamic modeling and vibration analysis of a single-link flexible manipulator are studied. A flexible beam model is set up for modeling the manipulator. Transient analysis is performed to obtain the endpoint acceleration vibration responses of the manipulator moved with different motion profiles. Both the experimental and simulation acceleration results are presented for different cases. The root means square (RMS) values of the acceleration responses are calculated to evaluate the compatibility performance in verifying the simulation results with the experimental results. It has been observed that the results match each other successfully for different cases. The reliability of the SimMechanics-based dynamic modeling method of manipulators is discussed with the experimental results.

The software used today, on the estimation of module temperature of photovoltaic systems, seem very important to be analyzed. These estimates are crucial in future techno-economic and environmentally friendly analyses of the systems to reach better achievements for future generations. This is very important to reach lifetime analyses of long-term feasibility to find out payback time and the levelized cost of energy. The present work is based on this issue, to test the module temperature estimation formulas used by four commonly used software models, and to determine the most suitable software for temperature analyses of five different photovoltaic modules in Middle Anatolia. Outdoor truthful long-term testing is the main realistic approach to reach fundamental contemplations. After an introductory basic knowledge, the main materials and methods are discussed to enlighten the analysis. The main methodology is given and further prospects are enlightened. Four well-known software are analyzed using four years of outdoor testing of five different photovoltaic modules. Measured ambient temperature and solar irradiance are used in the categorization of the software estimation performances. PV*SOL appears to be superior at low irradiance and ambient temperature, whereas Helioscope appears to be superior overall.

Published: December 2022

A MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol has direct impact on the energy efficiency and traffic characteristics of any Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). Due to the inherent differences in WSN’s requirements and application scenarios, different kinds of MAC protocols have so far been designed especially targeted to WSNs, though the primary mode of communications is wireless like any other wireless network. This is the subject topic of this survey work to analyze various aspects of the MAC protocols proposed for WSNs. To avoid collision and ensure reliability, before any data transmission between neighboring nodes in MAC layer, sensor nodes may need sampling channel and synchronizing. Based on these needs, we categorize the major MAC protocols into three classes, analyze each protocol’s relative advantages and disadvantages, and finally present a comparative summary which could give a snapshot of the state-of-the-art to guide other researchers find appropriate areas to work on. In spite of various existing survey works, we have tried to cover all necessary aspects with the latest advancements considering the major works in this area.
