Experimental investigation on the effect of process variables for the quality characteristics of AA 2024 processed in cold extrusion
Authors: K.A. Francy  , C.S. Rao  
Published: October 2023

Extrusion process has many applications in manufacturing industries due to its ability to produce products of high quality. Extrusion process can be classified into hot extrusion and cold extrusion. The cold forward extrusion is carried out at ambient temperature and has the additional benefit of improved mechanical characteristics. The metarial is compressed under intense pressure through a die orifice with a specific shape during the extrusion process. This process is effected by a few process variables, including die angle, punch speed, and lubrication are in greater extent towards the extrusion force requirement, microstructure and the product quality. Hence, the present experimental work focuses on extrusion of circular billet to produce cylindrical rod. Studying the behaviour of the material and the importance of the input process parameters during the cold extrusion process is the primary goal of this work. The experiments are carried out with AA 2024 alloy because of its wide applications in navy and aircraft structures. The varying die angles (10°, 20° & 30°) as well as punch speed (1.6 mm/min, 3.2 mm/min and 4.8 mm/min) and lubricants (molybdium sulphide (MoS2), zinc stearate and grease) chosen as input parameters. The out put responses of this extrusion process are extrusion force, displacement, time and surface roughness. Extrusion forces are calculated based on flow stress curves at the locations of greatest elastic deformation. The results shows that increasing the punch speed and die angle increases the extrusion force. The microstructure evolutions and grain refinement at different die angles are examined using electron back scatter diffraction analysis. At 30° die angle, the microstructure showed grain refinement. It is also noted that the damage is significant at 30° die angle with a punch speed above 4.8 mm/min.
The Meaning of the Good Faith Principle
Authors: Kullolli Brunela 
Published: October 2023

The definition of good faith, which is difficult to define since it is vague, is covered in this paper before giving a thorough summary of the idea. The next section of the essay summarizes Good Faith throughout history, noting how its meaning has changed through time. The problematic facets of the idea of "Good Faith" are discussed in the third section of the essay. This section examines how the difference between objective and subjective notions of trust, which poses a challenge in any society, is problematic for various legal systems. Similarly, the fourth part of the study examines the applicability of Good Faith in contract law and as a concept of contractual interpretation. In countries with civil law, it is maintained that there is a general need to bargain in good faith; however, the specifics of this requirement vary depending on the specific legal system. The centrality of the idea of good faith in numerous legal, philosophical, and moral situations is highlighted in this paper's conclusion. Acting in good faith is crucial for upholding trust and fairness in our interactions with others, despite much controversy surrounding its definition and understanding. In contrast to some professors' opinions that the word "in good faith" should be enforced in order to preserve precedent, it might be more appropriate to publicly authorize which the court may modify, supplement, and bolster the code as required. Despite the fact that there have been disagreements about it, Albania must further establish the good faith thesis. This calls for discussions between lawyers and academics as well as the development of civil procedure..
Elvira Sastre’s Translation of 'milk and honey' (2015) by rupi kaur into Spanish: Considerations on Feminism and Ethos
Authors: Ferrero Sabrina Solange 
Published: October 2023

This article focuses on Elvira Sastre’s Spanish translation of milk and honey (2015), a collection of poetry by the Indo-Canadian (Insta)poet, rupi kaur1. Our exploration is based on insights from various critics who have recognized the feminist force of kaur’s English original (Deka 2020). Approaching these verses through a gynocritical lens, we draw upon the perspectives of Tanvir Islam (2020) and the insights provided by Tarigan et al. (2021). Guided by a transnational feminist framework of translation (Castro and Spoturno 2020), our analysis extends to the examination of the ethos (Amossy 2010) associated with the enunciative subject responsible for the Spanish rendition, titled otras maneras de usar la boca (2017). Our investigation uncovers that while the translator’s ethos may be characterized as feminist based on the analysis of the prior ethos, the translated text unveils aspects of discursive modalities that challenge this characterization.

BACKGROUND
Pediatric patients with behavioral needs are frequently admitted to the hospital for medical care; when behavioral crises occur, patients and staff are at risk for injury. Our aim was to implement a behavior response team (BRT) to increase the days between employee injury due to aggressive patient interactions on the inpatient medical units from 99 to 150 over 1 year.

METHODS
A multidisciplinary team used quality improvement methods to design and implement the BRT system that includes 2 options: huddle to proactively plan for patients exhibiting early signs of escalation and STAT for immediate help for patients with imminent risk of harm to self or others. Using run and statistical process control charts, we tracked events per month, days between Occupational Safety & Health Administration-recordable events, and violent restraint use over time for 1 year after implementation. Staff pre and postimplementation surveys were compared to assess staff perception of safety and support provided by the BRT intervention.

RESULTS
The BRT was implemented across the inpatient system in July 2020, with an average number of 13 events per month. Days between Occupational Safety & Health Administration-recordable events remained stable with a maximum of 134 days. Restraint use remained stable at 0.74 per 1000 patient days. The perception of behavioral support available to staff increased significantly pre to postsurvey.

CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of a BRT can improve staff perception of support and confidence in safely caring for patients with behavior needs on the inpatient medical unit, although additional provider- and system-level improvements are needed to prevent employee injuries.
Electronic money, cryptocurrencies and payment systems: some trends in the legal regulation in the context of digitalization of public finance
Authors: Alisov Ievgenii 
Published: October 2023

The article is devoted to certain legal aspects of the impact of the FinTech-industry on public finance. The emergence of new various financial services and instruments requires their appropriate legal assessment and effective legal regulation. Despite numerous publications and scientific studies of various aspects of the manifestation and application of FinTech, The Theory of legal regulation of digital finance is at the initial stage of its formation and is fragmented.
The paper reviews special literature, devoted to the problems of legal regulation of virtual assets and related payment services. It emphasizes the need to observe a balanced conservative nature of legal regulation of financial relations in the context of the introduction of digital financial technologies, taking into account the tasks of protecting both public interests and ones of individuals. Based on the analysis of the current legislation, trends towards breaking the state issue monopoly due to the introduction of electronic money in the economy are revealed.
The conclusions and theoretical generalizations are presented, the main of which are: 1) cryptocurrencies as alternative units of account pose a threat to the dominance of public currencies, as they make competition between private financial agents and states and their associations possible; 2) the issue of legal assessment of cryptocurrencies has not yet been finally resolved, including their legal nature remains debatable; 3) in its essence, electronic money is a kind of "electronic bill", but does not meet the formal characteristics of such a security; 4) there is a tendency to weaken the imperativeness of legal regulation of the sphere of monetary circulation fundamental for public finances by ensuring local rule-making within individual payment systems

Published: October 2023

Abstract
We present a real-data test for offshore earthquake early warning (EEW) with distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) by transforming submarine fiber-optic cable into a dense seismic array. First, we constrain earthquake locations using the arrival-time information recorded by the DAS array. Second, with site effects along the cable calibrated using an independent earthquake, we estimate earthquake magnitudes directly from strain rate amplitudes by applying a scaling relation transferred from onshore DAS arrays. Our results indicate that using this single 50 km offshore DAS array can offer ∼3 s improvement in the alert time of EEW compared to onshore seismic stations. Furthermore, we simulate and demonstrate that multiple DAS arrays extending toward the trench placed along the coast can uniformly improve alert times along a subduction zone by more than 5 s.

IMPACT OF THE GLUE LAYER PROPERTIES ON THE STRESS-STRAIN STATE OF THE GLUE ANCHOR FOR THE STEEL ROD IN CONCRETE
Authors: Zolotov Sergii , Pustovoitova Oksana , Trykoz Liudmyla , Kamchatna Svitlana , Savisko Serhii 
Published: October 2023

The article deals with the distribution of stresses and displacements along a steel anchor fixed in concrete with a polymer binder - an acrylic compound. It was established that the maximum values of tangential, radial, and circular stresses, which more fully characterize the operation of the connection, change depending on the strength characteristics of the adhesive layer and its thickness according to the exponential law. The obtained results of stress at any point of the adhesive joint allow us to propose a methodology for the design of steel rods in concrete fixed with polymers. As a result of solving the problem of the stressed-strained state of the anchor connection on acrylic adhesives, equations were obtained for determining stresses and strains at any point. As a result of the analysis of the obtained dependencies, the following conclusions can be drawn. When calculating the strength of anchor joins on acrylic adhesives, it is necessary to take into account the maximum values of tangential, radial, and circular stresses. In order to calculate the strength of the join, it is necessary to know the strength limit at uniform separation of the glue from the metal surface, as well as at shear for the glue-metal contact. Tangential and normal stresses in the adhesive cylinder and at the adhesive-concrete interface decrease with an increase in the modulus of elasticity of the acrylic adhesive. But this leads to an increase in normal axial stresses in the part of the anchor embedded in concrete and radial stresses at the glue-anchor and glue-concrete contacts. The elasticity modulus of the glue layer is smaller than the elasticity modulus of concrete and metal. Therefore, the adhesive distributes the stresses that arise from the application of the pull-out force between the anchor and the concrete massif. This is explained by the fact that the pull-out stresses from the anchor are completely transferred to the adhesive layer and then to the concrete. The main vector of tangential stresses does not depend on the ratios of the elasticity modulus of the materials which form the anchor join. The thickness of the adhesive layer has a slight effect on the stress in the glue-anchor contact, but significantly on the stress in the glue-concrete contact.

Published: October 2023

Globally, as businesses grapple with uncertainties and challenges of growth and expansion, competitive intelligence failure has remained an obvious reality. This work therefore attempts to evaluate the intervening variables underlying the menace of competitive intelligence failure in the business world. Specifically, the study identifies the factors responsible for CI failures in the brewery industry in Nigeria. The identified factors include; lack of planning and management skills by managers and top company executives, faulty business decision making process and implementation by management and lack of coordinated organisational culture and political climate in the brewery industry in the country. In reaching these analytical premises, the study adopted a quantitative evaluation of some breweries in Nigeria to determine the pattern and trends of the competitive intelligence correlates and offered corresponding recommendations that will help to mitigate the menace of competitive failure in Nigeria.

Published: October 2023

The primary purpose of having a sustainability report is to enhance the confidence of the public in the company, ultimately leading to an increase in the company's worth. Firm Value refers to how investors perceive the company and is a significant factor they consider when making investment choices. The aim of this study is to analyze how the disclosure of Sustainability Reports affects the valuation of companies that are listed on the Sri-Kehati Stock Index. The sample selection was carried out using the purposive sampling method, so as to obtain a sample of 7 companies with an observation period of 5 years (2017-2021). This study employs quantitative data analysis, specifically using secondary data obtained from sustainability reports and annual reports accessed through the respective company websites. The research utilizes multiple linear regression as the chosen technique. The findings of this study suggest that there is no notable impact on the value of Sri-Kehati Stock Index Listed Companies based on the disclosure of sustainability reports, economic disclosures, environmental disclosures, and social disclosures. These results have theoretical implications, as they challenge the ability of stakeholder theory to explain the findings, while behavioral theory may provide a more suitable explanation. Furthermore, this research has practical implications for both issuers and the government, indicating that the disclosure of sustainability reports does not contribute to an increase in firm value.

Abstract

Vascular reconstruction is indispensable for the regenerative microenvironment after peripheral nerve injury (PNI), while the intrinsic mechanisms remain unclear. Our study found a novel function of Schwann cell facilitating intraneural revascularization and a novel mechanism of miR-21-5p regulating energy metabolism of endothelia cells (ECs) in favor of glycolysis, and determines an important link among exosome, metabolism, angiogenesis, and nerve repair after peripheral nerve injury. Hypoxia-upregulated miR-21-5p in Schwann cells-derived exosomes targets von Hippel-Lindau/Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (VHL/HIF-1α) pathway and pyruvate dehydrogenase-E1α subunit (PDH-E1α) at once to further skew ECs’ energy metabolism to glycolysis. Interestingly, HIF-1α inactivated PDH-E1α by activating PDK1 to restrain ECs’ oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) finally enhancing glycolysis. Thus, the modulation of ECs’energic metabolism by SCs-Exos-derived miR-21-5p is crucial for intraneural revascularization and nerve regeneration in response to injury.

Abstract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are used in various fields, including biological ones. ZnO NPs are eventually disposed of in the environment where they may affect natural systems, and there is no international law to regulate their manufacture, usage, and disposal. Hence, this present study is carried out to synthesize a more non-toxic and bioactive ZnO NPs from the marine algae Sargassum polycystum. The ZnO NPs were biologically produced using the marine algae Sargassum polycystum. The Dynamic light scattering result describes that synthesized particles average size about 100nm in diameter Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis demonstrated the rod like morphology of ZnO NPs. Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) results revealed the presence of functional groups in ZnO NPs. The selected area electron diffraction (SAED) results strongly suggested the ZnO NPs crystallinity. ZnO NPs surface morphology and compositions were identified by scanning electron microscopy (SEM- EDX) values. To analyse the toxicity of synthesized nanoparticles zebra fish larvae were used, which involved subjecting embryos to various ZnO NPs concentrations at 1 hpf and analysing the results at 96 hpf. The 60 and 80 ppm sub-lethal doses were chosen for further studies based on the LC50 (82.23 ppm). In the ZnO NPs treated groups, a significant slowdown in pulse rate and a delay in hatching were seen, both of which impacted the embryonic processes. A teratogenic study revealed a dose-dependent increase in the incidence of developmental deformities in the treated groups. Along with increased oxidants and a corresponding reduction in antioxidant enzymes, Na+ K+-ATPase and AChE activity changes were seen in ZnO NPs treated zebra fish larvae groups. The apoptosis process was increased in ZnO NPs treated groups revealed by acridine orange staining. These results indicate that the green synthesis process cannot mitigate the oxidative stress induced by ZnO NPs on oxidative signalling.
