Historical Solutions in Buildings in the Context of Current Problems of Green Architecture
Authors: RADZIEWICZ-WINNICKI Rafał 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The paper discusses the current problems of green architecture in Poland, yet, its main purpose is to search for historical architectural solutions in the area of broadly defined users’ comfort, thermal comfort and ventilation. The aim of the work is to show an alternative development direction for energy-efficient architecture in relation to more and more strict thermal standards. The paper presents a number of interesting solutions, which, from the point of view of the current technological development, are examples of green architecture, where both energy-efficiency issues as well as thermal comfort and users’ health issues are crucial. The presentation of historic architecture examples is a pretext for a broader look at architecture and for showing contemporary rules, which do not always lead to the most important goal, that is, the creation of sustainable architecture focused on users’ health. The results of the studies cover the formulation of the most important, according to the author, solutions for the future of sustainable architecture. They can be used in the creation of new principles of truly green architecture, where energy efficiency will not conflict with users’ comfort and health.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Concrete is the most essential and demanding construction material that is mainly used to develop structural and nonstructural elements. Along with the better engineering properties, concrete has its drawbacks like the presence of pores and micro cracks, and this affects its properties like permeability and water absorption which tend to reduce its durability and strength. Carbon black dust (CBD) is one of the industrial byproducts that can be effectively used as an additive in concrete. It is a necessity for us to reduce environmental pollution arising due to CBD. This research paper attempted an investigation to assess the effect of CBD as an additive material into the concrete. The chemical properties of raw materials were determined by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy analysis and the mechanical properties of hardened concrete were carried out followed by destructive and non-destructive testing. Compressive strength of 150 mm concrete cubes was determined at 7th, 14th and 28th day of curing that contains various percentages (2.5%, 5%, 7.5% and 10%) of CBD. Concrete with 0% CBD served as the control specimen. On the basis of experimental investigations, the maximum compressive strength reported for concrete specimens containing 7.5% CBD as 17.23% was more than that of control specimen. At 10% CBD, strength got decreased but significant improvement with respect to control specimen was also noted. As per the chemical analysis, CBD contains substantial amount of fluxing and strengthening agents that improve the performance of concrete and it can be used as an additive admixture.
CHLORIDE CONTENT OF STREET CLEANING WASTE AND ITS POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Authors: GRONBA-CHYŁA Anna 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
According to the data of the Central Statistical Office for 2017, the average amount of municipal waste generated per capita is 486 kg. Poland ranks last but one in terms of the amount of municipal waste generated. About 56% of municipal waste is processed, but still about 40% is landfilled. They may contain chlorides, especially those from the winter period, resulting from the use of deicing agents. Chlorides cause salinity of surface and ground waters and soil salinity, which in turn leads to deterioration of water purity and a decrease in biodiversity of aquatic organisms, changes in the microbiological structure and increased toxicity of metals. Chlorides also damage road surfaces and bridges, corrosion of plumbing pipes. Once the chlorine-containing sweepers are deposited in a landfill, this waste may contribute to an increase in chemical aggressiveness, which is important in the design of anti-filtration barriers, and in the rehabilitation of contaminated land and soil. The level of water and soil salinity has a significant impact on the critical infrastructure, especially in terms of water supply – the risk of corrosion of pipes and their decline in species biodiversity. An important role in the critical infrastructure is played by the storage of dustmuds – the risk of failure of security measures in storage yards. Therefore, it is very important to determine the salinity level in this stored waste. The salinity level of street sweeping waste from different street locations is not commonly studied. Therefore, such a study was conducted for a midsized city. The study shows that the highest chloride concentrations in street and sidewalk sweeping waste are found around manholes and the lowest concentrations are found on sidewalks.
The aim of the research is to determine the amount of chlorides in sweepings in the annual cycle to determine the potential risk associated with their impact on selected aspects of the environment.

Authors: ŻOCZEK Łukasz , DUDZIAK Mariusz 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This paper is a study on the problem of sludge formation in water treatment processes. Various physical and chemical processes used in technological systems of water treatment were described and those which are the source of sludge were indicated. The chemical composition of the sludge was presented, with particular emphasis on hazardous organic and inorganic pollutants. An essential part of the work was to consider the possibilities and ways of valorizing sludge. It was determined that the type of generated sludge depends on the applied process and its pollution degree depends on the type and quality of the water taken. Most of the sludge is formed during the coagulation process of surface waters, which may be contaminated with various heavy metals. Among the possibilities and methods of sludge valorization, an interesting way to use it is in construction, as an admixture to various building materials. It is also possible to use sludge as an unconventional adsorbent or reaction catalyst in the oxidation of organic pollutants present in wastewater.
Evolution mechanism of high-altitude dangerous rock mass collapse-debris flow chain disaster: a case of study in an open-pit mine
Authors: Wang Feifei , Jiang An-min 
Published: February 2025

In order to reveal the mechanism of the chain disaster caused by the collapse of high-altitude dangerous rock bodies in high-altitude open-pit mines and the formation of debris flows, field survey method was used to clarify the morphology, range, and scale of the high-altitude dangerous rock bodies and debris flows. Combined with geological data of open-pit mines and mining technical conditions, the formation mechanism of high-altitude dangerous rock bodies and the causes of debris flow formation were studied. The laws of chain disaster evolution and disaster patterns were revealed. The research results showed that (1) the formation of the collapse-debris flow chain disaster is due to the coupling effect of internal poor engineering geological conditions and external factors such as rainfall, groundwater, freeze-thaw, and blasting vibration. The collapse mode of the dangerous rock body is tensile-crack and tipping, shear-sliding, and tensile-crack and seating. (2) The collapse disaster of high-altitude dangerous rock bodies in open-pit mines triggered the formation of debris flows by multi-level landslides in the open-pit mines. The overall evolution process of the chain disaster is “local landslide in the pit - collapse of high-altitude dangerous rock bodies - multi-level landslide debris flow in the pit - burying the pit”. (3) The two-dimensional finite element numerical simulation analysis shows that the safety factor of the slope of the open-pit mine is 1.06. The slope is in an unstable state, verifying the results of the collapse of high-altitude dangerous rock bodies on the slope and the formation of landslide debris flows. The research results can provide references for the measures to break the chain and control measures of the chain disaster caused by the collapse of mountain slopes - debris flows in high-altitude and high-altitude areas.

Published: February 2025

Background:
Reducing power consumption in digital circuits can be achieved by
minimizing the number of transitions, and Gray code provides a binary numeral system optimized
for this purpose. Traditional CMOS-based counters face limitations in power efficiency and
performance at nanoscale levels. This research presents a novel design of a Gray code counter
utilizing Carbon Nanotube Field-Effect Transistors (CNTFETs) as a high-performance alternative
to CMOS technology.

Methods:
The CNTFET-based Gray code counter was evaluated across a range of temperatures
(25°C to 100°C), input voltages (0.7V to 1.3V), and clock frequencies (200 MHz to 800 MHz).
Supervised machine learning was employed to predict and analyze key performance metrics,
including propagation delay, power consumption, and Power-Delay Product (PDP), for both
CMOS and CNTFET Gray code counters under varying conditions.

Results:
The results demonstrate that the CNTFET-based Gray code counter exhibits significantly
lower power dissipation, faster operation, and a minimum PDP compared to its CMOS
counterpart across the tested temperature, voltage, and frequency variations. The machine learning
predictions aligned closely with simulation results, confirming the accuracy of this approach in
optimizing the design.

Conclusion:
The study validates the CNTFET Gray code counter as a highly efficient, low-power
solution suited for high-performance applications. Its superior performance characteristics suggest
that CNTFET technology, coupled with AI-driven optimization, holds promise for advanced lowpower
VLSI circuit designs.

Abstract

Background
Anemia is a global public health issue causing symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and cognitive decline. Furthermore, anemia is associated with various diseases and increases the risk of postoperative complications and mortality. Frequent invasive blood tests for diagnosis also pose additional discomfort and risks to patients.

Objective
This study aims to assess the facial spectral characteristics of patients with anemia and to develop a predictive model for anemia risk using machine learning approaches.

Methods
Between August 2022 and September 2023, we collected facial image data from 78 anemic patients who met the inclusion criteria from the Hematology Department of Shanghai Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Between March 2023 and September 2023, we collected data from 78 healthy adult participants from Shanghai Jiading Community Health Center and Shanghai Gaohang Community Health Center. A comprehensive statistical analysis was performed to evaluate differences in spectral characteristics between the anemic patients and healthy controls. Then, we used 10 different machine learning algorithms to create a predictive model for anemia. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator was used to analyze the predictors. We integrated multiple machine learning classification models to identify the optimal model and developed Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) for personalized risk assessment.

Results
The study identified significant differences in facial spectral features between anemic patients and healthy controls. The support vector machine classifier outperformed other classification models, achieving an accuracy of 0.875 (95% CI 0.825-0.925) for distinguishing between the anemia and healthy control groups. In the SHAP interpretation of the model, forehead-570 nm, right cheek-520 nm, right zygomatic-570 nm, jaw-570 nm, and left cheek-610 nm were the features with the highest contributions.

Conclusions
Facial spectral data demonstrated clinical significance in anemia diagnosis, and the early warning model for anemia risk constructed based on spectral information demonstrated a high accuracy rate.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT

Objectives
To examine retrospectively the short-term effects of a compliance-free skeletal Class III corrector (NET3-corrector) compared to rapid maxillary expansion-facemask (RME-FM).

Material and Methods
Records of 20 skeletal Class III patients treated with the NET3-corrector were compared to 20 patients treated with RME-FM, mean age: 11.14 ± 1.17 years and 11.14 ± 2.06, respectively. The NET3-corrector consisted of a hybrid-expander, a lower lingual arch, and a modified PowerScope spring. The RME-FM group received an RME-facemask combination. T2 records were collected when an overjet of at least 2 mm was achieved. Differences between two timepoints within groups and differences between groups were tested using paired samples t-test and independent samples t-test, respectively (P &lt; .05 was considered statistically significant).

Results
The treatment time was 10.5 months with NET3-corrector and 12 months with RME-FM. The NET3-corrector was well tolerated by patients and the Class III malocclusion was corrected in all patients in both groups. The overall maxillary skeletal change was greater with the NET3-corrector, with an additional 2° advancement at SNA (P &lt; .001). Significant differences in maxillary incisor angulation were observed in the RME-FM group in comparison to NET3 (−0.37 ± 3.31 vs 4.96 ± 3.80; P &lt; .001). The mandibular molars tipped significantly more distally in the NET3 group (7.3° more; P &lt; .001).

Conclusions
The compliance-free tooth-bone-borne NET3-corrector, is effective in correcting Class III malocclusion with improved maxillary skeletal outcomes compared to RME-FM in the short term. These results need to be evaluated in the long term with a randomized sample.

AbstractIn the digital age, YouTube serves as a major resource for learning Arabic. Language and cultural variances necessitate the need for translation to comprehend the messages conveyed in the videos. The purpose of this study is to analyze translation techniques in the speech of the Grand Sheikh of Al-Azhar on the YouTube channel of Sanad Media Account, specifically focusing on the translated text entitled "The Urgency of Values in the Brotherhood Charter in Achieving World Peace". The research method uses a qualitative approach with content analysis, taking data from YouTube videos and analyzing translation techniques from Arabic to Indonesian by referring to Molina and Albir's theory. The results of the analysis show that 14 out of 19 translation techniques suggested by Al Farisi based on Molina & Albir's theory are used in translating Arabic texts from the subtitles of Sanad Media Account's YouTube videos. The most frequently used translation technique is transposition, with a frequency of 77 (19.74%). It is followed by the calce technique with a frequency of 60 (15.38%) and reduction with a frequency of 56 (14.36%). The amplification and linguistic amplification techniques have almost the same frequency, namely 37 (9.49%) and 34 (8.72%). The mutation technique has a frequency of 31 (7.95%), while modulation has a frequency of 26 (6.67%). Borrowing and matching techniques have lower frequencies, namely 18 (4.62%) and 13 (3.33%). The substitution technique has a frequency of 10 (2.56%). Then, literal, adaptation, and generalization techniques have the same frequency, namely 9 (2.31%) and linguistic compression techniques have the lowest frequency, 1 (0.26%). On the other hand, particularization, description, compensation, variation, and discursive techniques have no frequency because they are not used in the translation.

Published: February 2025

Translating words from the source language to the target language would be challenging for students with a large vocabulary. Translation facilitates language learning. As a result, students lacking a vast vocabulary will be unable to translate the meaning of a language. The goal of this study was to determine whether students' vocabulary competency and translation ability are connected. Correlation research was used in the design, and quantitative research was performed in this study. Simple random sampling was employed to choose the sample. Out of 140 populations, 29 students made up the research sample. The researcher employed multiple-choice tests with 20 items and a translation test with a single text to gather data for the study. In this study, the Pearson Product Moment formula was calculated using SPSS. Following the hypothetical exam, the results showed that students' translation skills and vocabulary mastery were positively correlated. According to the data analysis that SPSS calculated, α=0.05 and Sig (P Value) = 0.000 were found. Given that Sig (P Value) = 0.000 < α=0.05, it indicates that Ha was accepted while Ho was rejected. Additionally, the outcome indicates that the r-observed was 0.611. At 1% significance level, the r-table score was 0.470, meaning that r-observed > r-table (0.611 > 0.470); at a 5% significance level, the r-table score was 0.367, meaning that r-observed > r-table (0.611 > 0.367). In conclusion, there is a relationship between students' capacity to translate and their command of language.
