Published: July 2024

Uncontrolled dumping of open landfills has been becoming a significant threat to developing countries. The areas where solid wastes are stored increase the risk of groundwater and environmental pollution. Groundwater pollution causes poisoning and even death in terms of public health. This study investigated the impact area of pollutants that pose environmental risks in the Hamamboğazı (Aksaray Turkey) landfill area. Six vertical electrical sounding (VES) measurements were made in the study area. The direction of the leakage water is southwest, and the penetration depth is 15 m. The electrical conductivity reaching high values such as 4160–7900 μS/cm shows the polluting effect of the leachate. Heavy metals detected in leachate were Cu (0.183 mg/dm3), Pb (0.234 mg/dm3), Zn (0.33 mg/dm3), and Fe (3.179 mg/dm3).

Published: July 2024

A sophisticated conceptual process that is essential for system analysis and farming practice decision-making is agricultural modeling. Since, agricultural processes are rife with uncertainties and often contain untrustworthy information, applying fuzzy set theory is a beneficial strategy. A key component of improving agricultural systems is fuzzy modeling, which is renowned for producing ideal solutions. The idea of the Lattice-ordered Linear Diophantine Multi-Fuzzy Soft Matrix (LLDMFSM) and its mathematical modeling, especially suited for agricultural diagnostics, are the main topics of this paper. In addition to discussing the basic characteristics of LLDMFSM, the mean operators that apply to this novel matrix are also discussed. One unique aspect of our methodology is the use of the min-max composition strategy to handle an example model that includes multiple factors impacting agriculture. Notably, farmers can use our suggested methodology as a useful tool to help them decide which course of action is best for their farming endeavors. This work adds to the expanding research data on agricultural diagnostics by highlighting the usefulness and advantages of the LLDMFSM in assisting with well-informed agricultural decision-making.

The Effect of Tuned Compensation Capacitors in the Induction Motors
Authors: Habyarimana Mathew , Sharma Gulshan , Bokoro Pitshou Ntambu
Published: July 2024

The load switch-on surge current phenomenon is a key problem for remote loads generally connected to weak or stand-alone grids. This has been the main research topic in smart microgrids. A correlation exists between the motor load and the starting current since a motor usually needs a larger starting current to overcome inertia. Both the power needed to start the load and the higher reactive power demand during the starting procedure are at the origin of the increased current. The current decreases to the nominal value for the specific load gradually after the motor starts. This relationship is essential for figuring out the dimensions of electrical components and protecting the grid and motor from harm. Depending on the load, the switch-on surge current is greater than two to ten times the rated full load current. Energy storage systems can make up for the higher power needed to protect the load and the grid connection. It makes more sense to use tuned compensating capacitors to reduce the reactive power required to reduce the inrush current. The primary focus of this work is the selection, calculation, and switching of the capacitor bank for reactive power compensation. Following the previous research, in this paper, the smaller 2HP induction motor load is examined. The capacitances are calculated, turned on to offset the starting transient, and then disengaged once the machine reaches operating speed. This is done by using a point-on switching technique that lowers the switching transient.

Published: July 2024

Objective: To evaluate the effect of dexamethasone administration on cardiotocographic parameters.
Material & Methods: A prospective cohort study was carried out in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in collaboration with Department of physiology, Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College & Hospital. Total 100 pregnant women between gestational age of 28 weeks to 38 weeks were enrolled in the study. They underwent cardiotocography on day 0 i.e. before administration of injection dexamethasone, on day 2 (after 48 hours of first dose) and on day 4-7. Patients received injection dexamethasone 6 mg i.m. 4 doses at an interval of 12 hours for various indications like preterm labor (PTL), preterm prelabor rupture of membrane (PPROM), placenta previa and previous CS. Outcome  measures were changes in Baseline FHR(Fetal Heart Rate), Baseline variability, Acceleration and DFMC before and after dexamethasone administration.
Results: All parameters including Baseline FHR, Accelerations, baseline variability and daily fetal movement counts were significantly reduced on day 2 of injection dexamethasone administration and returned to baseline values after 4 to 7 days of receiving dexamethasone.
Conclusions: Dexamethasone administration resulted in transient reduction in baseline FHR, acceleration, variability and DFMC that mimic fetal compromise, hence clinicians should be aware of this phenomena to avoid iatrogenic preterm delivery of the fetus.

Authors: Kusum Lata  , Anjali Verma  , Alok Khanna  , Raj Singh  , Ashuma Sachdeva  , Surender Verma
Published: July 2024

Background and aim: Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune enteropathy and gluten free diet (GFD) is the only treatment available till now. Although previous studies had shown that patients with non-gastrointestinal symptoms have osteopenia but there is scanty literature on the effect of GFD on Bone Mass Density (BMD) improvement in celiac disease patients with or without gastrointestinal symptoms in childhood.Methods :A prospective interventional study was conducted in a tertiary care institute in which newly diagnosed children 1 to 14 years of age presented to Pediatrics OPD or admitted in ward with symptoms suggestive of CD and IgA tissue transglutaminase level 10 folds of normal level were taken as cases. Children with other associated diseases like Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, Hypothyroidism and who were non-compliant to GFD diet were excluded. Those children were later grouped into as children with gastrointestinal and children with non-gastrointestinal symptoms. DEXA scan was done in both the groups at presentation and after 6 months of gluten free diet to determine bone mass density. The results were later compiled and analysed . P value of <0.05 was taken as significant.Results: A total of 50 patients were enrolled in the study in which 25 patients were in each group. In children with gastrointestinal symptoms, 10 (40%) children had osteopenia (Z-score below -1) and 2 patients had severe osteopenia (Z-score below -2.5) where as in other group with non-gastrointestinal symptoms, 11(44%) has osteopenia and 3 had severe osteopenia. After 6 months of GFD there was significant improvement in mean Z-score, mean BMD and mean BMC(p<0.001) in both the groups however complete restoration was not achieved.Conclusions: Our study clearly showed that children without gastrointestinal symptoms had osteopenia of almost same degree as children with these symptoms (p >0.05). There is a significant beneficial effect of GFD on bone mass in both the groups (gastrointestinal as well as non-gastrointestinal) separately. Such results emphasize early detection and role of GFD intreatment of osteopenia in these children to have adequate bone mass in the puberty.

Following its participation in the UNESCO International Campaign to Save the Monuments of Lower Nubia, the Czechoslovak Institute of Egyptology received a donation of a share of finds acquired during its course by the Egyptian government. These objects are presently kept as a part of the collections of the Naprstek Museum of Asian, African and American Cultures. Most of the finds from the UNESCO campaign have already been thoroughly examined and published. A set of several rock inscriptions removed from the area of Naga el-Girgawi, located a few kilometres downstream from Korosko, was published by Zbyněk Žaba in his publication titled The Rock Inscriptions of Lower Nubia. (Czechoslovak Concession) in 1974. However, this publication is lacking, due to objective reasons, a proper correlation with the Naprstek Museum's inventory. The aim of this paper is to supplement the original publication in this regard as well as provide further documentation of the pieces.
Verstärkung ermüdungsgeschädigter Stahlbauteile mittels geschweißter eisenbasierter Formgedächtnislegierungen/Reinforcement of fatigue damaged steel components with welded iron-based shape memory alloys
Authors: Li Zheng , Herzog Bastian , Erlemann Raphael , Geißler Karsten
Published: July 2024

Die grundsätzliche Eignung geschweißter eisenbasierter Formgedächtnislegierungen (Fe-SMA) zur Verlängerung der Restnutzungsdauer von Stahlbauteilen mit Ermüdungsrissen wurde in ersten experimentellen Untersuchungen analysiert. Dazu wurden kompakte Zugproben (CT) aus einem 12 mm dicken Stahlblech gemäß ASTM-E647 hergestellt und zunächst zur Erzeugung eines 40 mm langen Risses zyklisch belastet. Anschließend wurden Streifen aus einer Fe-SMA beidseitig über den Risspositionen aufgeschweißt. Beim Schweißen an bereits geschädigten Bauteilen ist besondere Vorsicht und sorgfältige Planung geboten. Trotz des kontraintuitiven Einbringens von weiteren Schweißkerben in ein bereits ermüdungsgeschädigtes Bauteil wurden diese ersten Untersuchungen aus zwei Hauptgründen angestrebt. Zunächst sollten für neuartige Ertüchtigungsmaßnahmen alle denkbaren Verbindungsmethoden untersucht werden also neben dem Kleben und einer mechanischen Verankerung auch das Schweißen. Daneben sollte experimentell untersucht werden, dass unter den erwartbaren Versagensmodi Nahtwurzel, Nahtübergang zum Fe-SMA und Nahtübergang zum Grundmaterial nicht letzterer maßgebend wird.

 

Der Artikel soll einen Beitrag zum theoretischen Verständnis von Fe-SMA liefern und die grundsätzliche Eignung der Verbindung der Fe-SMA mittels Schweiße bei begrenzter Restnutzungsdauer untersuchen. Ein Teil der Proben wurde zur Aktivierung der Fe-SMA erhitzt, um eine Vorspannung zu erzeugen. Die Proben wurden erneut einer zyklischen Belastung mit konstanter Amplitude ausgesetzt, während der das Risswachstum überwacht wurde. Spannungskonzentrationen am Riss konnten wirksam reduziert werden, wodurch an den untersuchten CT-Proben eine verlängerte Restlebensdauer erreicht werden konnte. Die Versagensmodi der experimentellen Untersuchungen bestätigen, dass bei entsprechender Konstruktion und Dimensionierung keine weitere maßgebende Kerbe in direkter Umgebung des ursprünglichen Schadens in das bereits geschädigte Ausgangsbauteil eingebracht wird. Die grundsätzliche Eignung der bewährten Verbindungstechnik Schweißen für derartige Verstärkungsmaßnahmen konnte gezeigt werden. Künftig sind die nicht abschließend untersuchten Fragen hinsichtlich Optimierung der Schweißnahtgeometrie, Dimensionierung und Form der Fe-SMA mit zugehöriger Aktivierungstemperatur weiter zu untersuchen. Daneben sind vor allem die sich ergebenden Fragen für die Anwendung, zum Beispiel bezüglich Dichtheit und Reduzierung des Kerbfalls des Ausgangsbauwerk, vor dem Hintergrund der begrenzten Restnutzungsdauer des bereits geschädigten Bauteils zu untersuchen und entsprechende Empfehlungen zu erarbeiten.

A partir del proyecto 'factores que influyen en la deficiencia en la adquisición de competencias de estudiantes de secundaria y media en Colombia' se identificó que la inteligencia emocional es uno de los factores que incide en este proceso formativo, especialmente cuando se trata de tomar decisiones, autorregular la motivación, resolver problemas y fomentar sanas relaciones en el aula. Para su desarrollo se tiene como objetivo principal analizar la importancia de la inteligencia emocional en la adquisición de la competencia lectora, matemática y científica de estudiantes de secundaria de la Institución Educativa San Vicente Sede Silvania del municipio de Isnos Huila. Por tanto, se sigue la línea de la investigación descriptiva y enfoque cualitativo, donde se utilizó como instrumento para el análisis de datos el cuestionario virtual y recopilación de fuentes bibliográficas primarias y secundarias, estrechamente vinculadas a la temática. Los participantes fueron 56 estudiantes del grado octavo, décimo y once, quienes corresponden al 2,85% de la muestra total del estudio de maestría. Dentro de los resultados se evidencia que un estudiante cuando es emocionalmente inteligente alcanza mejores resultados académicos, manteniendo su concentración, motivación e interés, también es capaz de controlar el estrés y ansiedad en situaciones conflictivas. Todo esto depende exclusivamente de la función formadora que adopta tanto la familia como escuela, en el cual se articula un trabajo en conjunto para alcanzar el máximo aprendizaje del educando.

Este estudio examina la evolución y el impacto de los modelos de gobernanza portuaria en los puertos de Busan, Corea del Sur, y Manzanillo, México, durante el periodo 1990-2020. A través de un enfoque comparativo, se analiza cómo las diferentes estrategias de gestión y los marcos regulatorios influyen en la eficiencia operativa, la competitividad y la adaptabilidad de estos puertos clave frente a los desafíos del mercado global y las exigencias del comercio internacional. Se destaca la importancia de la autonomía en la gestión portuaria y cómo esta puede contribuir a dar respuestas más ágiles y efectivas en un entorno global competitivo. Además, se discute el rol de la gobernanza como mecanismo integrador en la gestión pública, enfatizando en la cooperación entre actores estatales y no estatales y en la adopción de principios de la Nueva Gestión Pública como la transparencia y la evaluación de resultados. Se utilizan técnicas estadísticas avanzadas, incluida la regresión exponencial, y se evalúa el desempeño de estos puertos en función de indicadores de rendimiento operativo y conectividad marítima, proyectando su futuro desempeño y ofreciendo recomendaciones para la mejora continua de la gobernanza portuaria.

Undergraduate Pharmacy student’s perspectives and attitudes toward the online teaching of analytical chemistry courses: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Ainousah Bayan
Published: July 2024

Background: Online learning has become a valuable tool that when properly implemented, shows beneficial results compared with in-class teaching. However, several factors impact its beneficial effects, such as students' acceptance, knowledge, and perception, and thus should be studied. This study aimed to assess students' attitudes toward online analytical chemistry learning; to identify the challenges that they face during their online learning; and to assess their academic and attendance performances and compare them with their face-to-face performance.
Methods: By using Google Forms, a cross-sectional survey was conducted to collect information from undergraduate pharmacy students who studied online analytical chemistry courses.
Results: The survey indicated that the students had good knowledge about online resources. The data showed that the students had satisfactory feelings toward online teaching and gained good knowledge. However, the data revealed that the students faced challenges, especially with the practical sessions of the analytical chemistry courses. The results showed a statistically significant difference in academic performance between the first and second terms and between the online and in-class sessions (P < 0.0001 for all).
Conclusion: A high percentage of the participants reported that they had good knowledge of e-learning tools and were satisfied with online learning. However, challenges such as Lack of training on the instrumental and experimental aspects of the laboratory and the lack of social interaction should be considered to improve the overall online learning process.

Производство зерновых культур является приоритетным направлением развития аграрного сектора. Ячмень, занимающий важное место в сельском хозяйстве Республики Казахстан, является ключевой продовольственной и технической культурой. Настоящий научный труд посвящен оценке основных показателей сортообразцов ярового ячменя в Казахстане и является первым в своем роде исследованием, в котором была проведена комплексная оценка адаптивности и продуктивности 55 селекционных сортообразцов в условиях данного региона. Также была проведена фитоэкспертиза семян с целью получения эффективного протравителя. В рамках исследования использованы стандарты Сауле, Сымбат и Арна, что позволило выявить ряд уникальных закономерностей, в том числе данные о влиянии климатических условий на характеристики колоса и качества зерна. Проведенный структурный анализ урожая, охватил элементы продуктивности культуры, такие как высота растений, длина колоса, число зерен, вес снопа с корнем, вес растения без корня, масса зерен, количество колосьев, масса 1000 семян и другие параметры. Результаты показывают заметную вариабельность среди сортообразцов по количеству зерен и длине колоса. Важно отметить, что в отношении массы 1000 семян и урожайности разброс оказался невелик. Эти выводы подчеркивают, как сортовые особенности и условия выращивания сказываются на характеристиках продуктивности и урожайности ярового ячменя. Полученные результаты имеют важное значение для селекции и аграрной практики, обеспечивая более точный взгляд на потенциал сортов ячменя в данном регионе и добавляют новизну в понимание взаимодействия между генотипом ярового ячменя и окружающей средой.
