Performance Analysis of Buildings Subjected to Foundation Reinforcement
Authors: Virginio Inêz Prazeres , Gusmão Alexandre Duarte , Oliveira Pedro Eugênio Silva de 
Published: July 2024

Theoretical Framework: Soil uncertainty poses a challenge for engineers when designing foundation projects, potentially leading to errors and subsequent problems in building construction. These problems include excessive settlements, which can aesthetically, functionally, and structurally impact buildings, resulting in discomfort, high costs, and safety risks for people. This study aims to evaluate the model proposed by Gusmão in 2006 to predict the settlement of buildings before, during, and after foundation reinforcement.

Method: The methodology adopted for this research involves applying the model to building A, which underwent foundation reinforcement using self-drilling injected micropiles. The measured settlements were analyzed and compared with the results obtained through the application of the model.

Results and Discussion: The model matched the settlement curve measured on-site. It was observed that during the pile driving process, the settlement rate increased. This was found through the ratio between the velocities after the start of pile driving and before the start of reinforcement, which showed values greater than 0 in approximately 95.2% of the applied pillars. Building A stabilized slowly. The calculated λ value for building A was 0.0005.

Research Implications: The use of the model is an important tool for selecting the type of foundation reinforcement to be adopted. The parameters found help in choosing the type of pile and the construction process, reducing the number of errors and attempts until the most appropriate reinforcement solution is found, consequently lowering the cost.

Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature, as the application of this model to real cases of reinforcement had not yet been published, making it an innovative contribution to one of the main phases of the process, the design. The relevance and value of this research are evidenced by the parameters found and the model's fit to the measurements taken throughout the reinforcement process, proving that the model is satisfactory.
Comparative Analysis of Aerodynamic Efficiency in Small-Diameter Wind Turbine Blades: NACA 4412 vs. Clark Y
Authors: Signoretti Valdir Tesche , Simões Filho Alexandre Augusto , Teixeira Ricardo Luiz Perez , Brito Rogério Fernandes , Guimarães Paulo Mohallem 
Published: July 2024

Objective: This study aims to compare the efficiency of the Naca 4412 and Clark Y airfoil profiles for small-diameter wind turbines using Solidworks® modeling, 3D printing, wind tunnel testing, and computational simulation. The hypothesis posits that the Naca 4412 will be more efficient.

Theoretical Framework: Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of wind into electrical energy, with the rotor being responsible for converting kinetic energy into mechanical energy, which is subsequently converted into electrical energy by the generator. Studies highlight the importance of optimizing the aerodynamics of the blades to maximize efficiency.

Method: The Naca 4412 and Clark Y profiles were modeled in Solidworks® and 3D printed using high-quality ABS. The blades were tested in Armfield C15-10 and Edibon EEEC wind tunnels, measuring lift and drag forces at different angles of attack (30º to 70º) and varying wind speeds to achieve different Reynolds numbers.

Results and Discussion: The Naca 4412 profile exhibited higher lift and drag compared to the Clark Y. At angles of 50º and 60º, both profiles showed greater efficiency, with the Naca 4412 achieving higher maximum angular velocity (357.93 RPM at 50º, 510.91 RPM at 60º). The performance difference can be attributed to the twist of the Naca 4412 and turbulence effects at low speeds.

Research Implications: The results provide insights for the development of more efficient wind turbines, particularly in urban contexts where small wind turbines are used.

Originality/Value: This study contributes by experimentally comparing two widely used airfoil profiles, offering valuable data for the optimization of small wind turbine blades.

Published: July 2024

Objective: The objective of this study is to identify the elements to develop home automation technology in middle-income homes.

Theoretical Framework: Home automation applies to systems and devices that provide some level of automation within the house, ranging from a simple timer to turn a light or device on and off at a specific time, to the most complex systems capable of interacting with any electrical element in the home.

Method: Descriptive research, non-experimental, transectional or cross-sectional field design, the sample was six companies in the residential housing construction sector in the middle stratum of the department of Atlántico, the data collection technique was the survey, the instrument was the questionnaire with Likert type response option.

Results and Discussion: It was evident that the benefits of the elements of the home automation system to the owners or tenants of the homes are known, however, a medium segment of the subjects surveyed knows the benefits that these elements provide to the builders and They are clear in recognizing that they currently do not implement home automation technology elements in the homes they build.

Implications of the Research: Home automation is therefore one that integrates a set of automatisms in electricity, electronics, robotics, computing and telecommunications, with the aim of ensuring the user an increase in comfort, security, energy savings, communication facilities and entertainment possibilities.

Originality/Value: The relevance consists of continuing to consolidate the implementation of technological innovations in terms of the use of sensors, actuators, system elements and display elements, but not in isolation but with the home automation system as such.
ФРАНЦУЗЬКІ КАПІТАЛИ В НАФТОВІЙ ПРОМИСЛОВОСТІ ГАЛИЧИНИ У МІЖВОЄННИЙ ПЕРІОД
Authors: МАСИК Роман 
Published: July 2024

Мета дослідження – показати залученість французьких капіталів у нафтову промисловість Галичини в міжвоєнний період, висвітлити діяльність французьких нафтових фірм. Методологія дослідження ґрунтується на принципах історизму, логічності, наукової об’єктивності в оцінках минулого, критичного ставлення до наявних джерел, зокрема, звітів й протоколів засідань французьких нафтових фірм, заміток, опублікованих на шпальтах спеціалізованих часописів. Застосовувалися загальнонаукові (аналізу, абстрагування, синтезу, узагальнення) й спеціально-історичні методи (історико-генетичний, історико-типологічний, історико-системний, порівняльно-історичний, методи статистичного аналізу). Наукова новизна статті полягає у тому, що досі комплексно не розглядали вплив французьких капіталів на розвиток нафтової промисловості міжвоєнної Галичини. Дослідники історії нафтової справи здебільшого лише згадували про домінування у ній французів, перераховували їх нафтові фірми. Лише Пйотр Франашек більше дослідив історію концернів “Домборова” і “Малопольща”. Висновки. Внаслідок врегулювання після Першої світової війни права власності на нафтові об’єкти у Східній Галичині перевагу в галузі здобули французькі капітали. Французькі банкіри перейняли більшість нафтових фірм, якими до війни володіли австрійці й німці. В цьому їм посприяла політика польського уряду. Французи створили низку фірм, які зростали, скуповуючи нафтові свердловини, склади й нафтопереробні заводи. У такий спосіб вони заволоділи понад половиною всієї нафтової промисловості Галичини. В 1920-х рр. французькі нафтові фірми дбали більше, щоб отримати швидкі прибутки, невміло управлялися, мало вкладали в модернізацію своїх підприємств. Це призвело до того, що наприкінці 1920-х рр. деякі з них опинилися на межі банкрутства. Водночас намагалися забезпечити собі весь цикл виробництва – видобуток нафти, її переробку й продаж. Завдяки підтримці польського уряду і об’єднанню французьких фірм у великі концерни вдалося вийти з кризи. В результаті французькі капітали в нафтовій промисловості Галичини зосередилися у двох фірмах – “Галичині” і “Малопольщі”. Вони істотно впливали на стан справ у галузі до початку Другої світової війни.

Clinico-microbiological evaluation of post-cesarean surgical site infections
Authors: Kangan  , Mehra Reeti , Gupta Varsha , Goel Poonam , Kaur Manjeet 
Published: July 2024

Objectives:
With increasing rates of cesarean section (CS), the incidence of post-operative complications is bound to increase, which includes surgical site infections (SSIs), being one of the common and distressing complication. This study was aimed to evaluate the various determinants of post-CS SSI, their clinical spectrum, prevalent microbiology, and their susceptibility and resistance patterns.

Materials and Methods:
This was a prospective longitudinal hospital-based study undertaken in Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH), Chandigarh. Six hundred and eighty-eight patients were included from April, 2021, to September, 2022, and were followed up till 42nd day post-procedure.

Results:
The incidence of SSI in the study was 3.49%. The risk factors identified were gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), thrombocytopenia, chorioamnionitis, prolonged labor, multiple per vaginum examinations, prolonged surgery, post-partum hemorrhage, and blood and blood product transfusions. Most patients presented on or after day 8 of surgery with discharge from the wound site being the most common presentation. Staphylococcus aureus emerged as the most prevalent organism and out of five patients having S. aureus, three had methicillin-resistant S. aureus. Linezolid was found to be the most susceptible antibiotic, whereas ciprofloxacin was mostly resistant among the prevalent isolates.

Conclusion:
Some of these determinants are modifiable such as GDM and thrombocytopenia and if detected and managed early may help in reducing the risk of developing SSI. Linezolid must be used empirically for treatment of SSI until the reporting of culture and sensitivity is done because routine antibiotics used for antibiotic prophylaxis in CS were found to be highly resistant. Periodic analysis of clinical spectrum and culture and sensitivity patterns is imperative for the early diagnosis and appropriate empirical management of SSI.

Rehatta Provinsi Jawa Tengah pada bulan Desember 2023-April 2024 dengan jumlah 22 subjek yang dibagi kedalam dua kelompok yaitu kontrol dan perlakuan. Subjek pada kelompok perlakuan mendapatkan terapi Prednison dan ekstrak Moringa oleifera 2gr/hari. Sedang-kan pada kelompok kontrol hanya mendapatkan terapi Prednison yang dilakukan selama 1 bulan. Kadar IL-6 pretest dan postest dilakukan meng-gunakan metode sandwich Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Hasil: Analisis perbedaan kadar serum IL-6 pretest dan postest dengan uji Wilcoxon pada kelompok perlakuan didapatkan nilai p=0,155 dan kontrol p=0,110. Sedangkan perbedaan antar kelompok perlakuan dan kontrol dengan uji Mann Whitney menunjukkan nilai p=0,412 pada postest. Sehingga dapat dilihat bahwa tidak terdapat perbedaan yang bermakna (p>0,05) antara pretest dan postest serta perbandingan antar kelompok.Kesimpulan: Pemberian terapi adjuvan ekstrak Moringa oleifera 2gr/hr tidak berpengaruh terhadap penurunan kadar IL-6 pada pasien reaksi kusta tipe 1.
Factors Affecting Risk-Based Audit and Quality Audit
Authors: Dung Nguyen Ngoc Khanh 
Published: July 2024

There are various issues that are associated with audit quality, which can often lead to audit failures. The State Audit Office of Vietnam (SAV) needs assistance in improving its audit quality. This study was conducted to provide empirical evidence about the correlation between the risks of audited entities, the competitive ability of state auditors, and audit quality. The study also seeks to establish the moderating effect of risk-based auditing on the relationship between the abovementioned factors and audit quality. The research data was collected from 221 state auditors and analyzed using SEM linear structure analysis with SmartPLS 4.0.8.5 software. The research findings suggest that the risk of the audited entity and the competitive ability of state auditors positively and significantly impact the application of RBA, which contributes to the assurance of audit quality in SAV. Therefore, the practical application of RBA, which involves accurately identifying the risks of audited entities, helps to improve audit quality and efficiency. This study contributes to the theory of audit quality in the public sector, which is diverse and inconsistent due to various economic and political factors such as corruption and reputation.
