Abstract
The objective of the current research was to identify and evaluate the possibility of production of pectinase, also known as pectin degrading enzymes, from indigenous bacterial strains. Qualitative screening of isolated bacterial strains showed that among 29 bacterial strains, 5 have maximum enzymatic activity. The highest pectinase producing strains were quantitatively analyzed for enzyme production. SH7 strain was found as highest pectinase producer (0.77 IU/mL) that was further analyzed to molecular level by amplification of 16s rRNA. It was found 100% similar with other reported strains of Bacillus thuringiensis. Medium optimization was performed to optimize fermentation conditions for maximum enzyme yield. An experimental design containing 12 experimental runs was designed by Plackett–Burman design (PBD). Maximum pectinase activity was obtained at 45°C after 24 h when the growth medium was supplemented with 2.5% nitrogen, 5.0% substrate, MgSO4 as metal ion, 1% inoculum size, and pH was adjusted to 6. Factorial regression analysis of the PBD design was performed and the overall design was also found significant in terms of R square value. In PBD, the most significant factors for production were temperature, pH, metal ion concentration, and nitrogen source. Central composite design (CCD) design consisting of 26 experimental runs was employed to optimize these four significant factors. The overall model summary showed maximum pectinase activity (19.2 IU/mL) at 37°C temperature, 0.08 NaCl, 1.7% nitrogen source, and pH 8.4. In CCD, NaCl, nitrogen source, and pH were also reported as significant factors by the Pareto chart, probability plots, and 3D interactions.

Authors: Kaliyannan Devarajan 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
In this paper, an experimental and numerical investigation of thermoelectric generator for energy harvesting performance of screw compressors has been studied. The sources of heat recovery from compressors are recognized and a heat exchanger to mount the Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) module assembly is designed to adapt for implementation in this work. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used to find out the temperature distribution in the heat exchanger and experimental work is carried out to validate CFD results. The heat exchangers, consisting of five TEG modules, temperature profile and voltage value have been studied numerically and experimentally. The parametric study has been studied to understand the influence of various system parameters on energy harvesting performance TEG based heat exchanger. An average of 1.6 V is generated by each TEG module and heat exchanger consists of five TEG and an average of 8 V is generated continuously by the heat exchanger. Also, it is proved that the usages of steel foam with 90 % porosity in heat exchanger improves the heat transfer rate and maximize the output from 8 V to 24 V in heat exchanger.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Crop plant breeding involves selecting and developing new plant varieties with desirable traits such as increased yield, improved disease resistance, and enhanced nutritional value. With the development of high-throughput technologies, such as genomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics, crop breeding has entered a new era. However, to effectively use these technologies, integration of multi-omics data from different databases is required. Integration of omics data provides a comprehensive understanding of the biological processes underlying plant traits and their interactions. This review highlights the importance of integrating omics databases in crop plant breeding, discusses available omics data and databases, describes integration challenges, and highlights recent developments and potential benefits. Taken together, the integration of omics databases is a critical step towards enhancing crop plant breeding and improving global food security.

Unfortunately, It is known that ISTA converges quite slowly, and a faster alternative to ISTA is the projected gradient (PG) method.
Nevertheless, the current applicability of the PG method is limited to linear inverse problems.

Performance investigation for the WDM-passive optical network using multicarrier source
Authors: Luay Ibrahim , Mansour Tahreer Safa’a 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
In this article, the comb wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network (Comb WDM-PON) system has been simulated. Simulation models were created in VPI photonics. The proposed system employs 140 Gbps for seven comb lines. Analytical modelling and simulations are performed for a flat comb source with seven comb lines, variable channel spacing, and a center wavelength. As a result, the performance of the comb WDM-PON system that utilizes a single differential Mach–Zehnder (DiffMZ) modulator comb source is also investigated using different comb line numbers. The total capacity of the system increases as the number of comb lines increases. However, the system performance is degraded. Data rates of 80 Gbit/s can be achieved at the threshold bit error rate of BER (1 × 10−9), over a transmission distance of 200 km using 4 comb lines with a multi-diagonal (MD) code for 4 OLTs.
Mechanical and tribological behavior of a hybrid WC and Al2O3 reinforced Al–4Gr composite
Authors: Değirmenci Ünal 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The development of aluminum (Al) based composites has been an interesting subject to sustain technological developments in the defense, automotive, and aerospace industries. In this study, the microstructure, mechanical, and tribological performances of hybrid Al composites reinforced with fixed ratio (4 %) graphite (Gr) and two different reinforcement materials such as tungsten carbide (WC) and aluminum oxide (Al2O3) at different ratios were investigated. The impact of hybrid reinforcement and its ratios on the relative density value and hardness performance were investigated. The results of three different loads (1, 2, and 3 N) and three different sliding distances (200, 300, and 400 m) on wear performance were analyzed using Taguchi’s L18 experimental design. High relative density (94.39 %) and hardness (74.26) values were achieved by hot pressing. It has been determined that hybrid reinforcements have positive effects on wear performance. The lowest SWR value was recorded as 7.82 × 10−5 mm3/N.m in composite no Al-6. As the applied load raised, the friction coefficients decreased. On the other hand, the sliding distance and the increased applied load caused the temperatures to rise. With Al–4Gr/WC–Al2O3 composite material, a new AMMC has been presented to the literature, which has remarkable hardness and wear properties, and can show better ductility and machinability compared to equivalent materials.
Is there a geographic and gender divide in Europe regarding the biopsychosocial approach to pain research? An evaluation of the 12th EFIC congress

Published: July 2023

Abstract

Objectives
All pain research combined advances the different domains of the biopsychosocial model and its interactions. However, there may be discrepancies between individual countries in their biomedical, psychological or social focus to pain research. As a proxy for this possible discrepancy, we analysed the biopsychosocial orientation of presentations at a recent major international pain conference.

Methods
The primary aim was to investigate whether there are geographical differences across Europe regarding the biopsychosocial orientation of workshop presentations at the 12th EFIC congress. The secondary aim was to investigate whether there were differences between female and male presenters regarding the biopsychosocial focus of their presentations. All available workshop abstracts were blinded and categorised by two independent reviewers as biomedical, psychosocial, biopsychosocial, or not applicable. Psychosocial and biopsychosocial were merged to non-biomedical.

Results
Of the 140 available abstracts, 126 abstracts could be categorised (biomedical: 51 %; non-biomedical: 49 %). Three clusters of countries emerged: (1) countries with a clear majority (≥80 %) of non-biomedical presentations (The Netherlands and Belgium); (2) countries with a balance between biomedical and non-biomedical presentations (United Kingdom, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland); and (3) countries with a clear majority (71–100 %) of biomedical presentations (Italy, Germany, Switzerland and France). Overall, women delivered more presentations than men (70 vs. 56 presentations), and delivered proportionally more non-biomedical presentations (57 %) whereas men delivered proportionally more biomedical presentations (61 %).

Conclusions
Analysis of the 12th EFIC congress revealed geographical and gender differences in biopsychosocial orientation. Whether this reflects established differences in pain research requires further investigation.

Published: July 2023

Juvenile delinquency comes in many forms-one of which is theft. This delinquency is a social phenomenon with a continuation of criminology. Juvenile crimes are a major concern because children are generation of thenation. Children who commit criminal Acts certainly have both internal and external causes. The treatment of child criminals is part of the policy as a child protection effort as a form of law enforcement. Criminology plays an important role in this case because it is also called criminal sociology because it is the study of humans in its opposition to certain social norms. Criminology examines social symptoms in the field of crime occurring in the community or with the intent that the defendant has committed these crimes.

Authors: Hajihashemi Bahareh , Abbasi Ali , Shokri Dariush 
Published: July 2023

AbstractAcinetobacter baumannii is a major causative agent of serious nosocomial infections. This study was carried out to investigate the molecular characterization of colistin resistant isolates of A. baumannii from hospitalized patients, based on multilocus sequence typing (MLST). A cross-sectional study was conducted to collect A. baumannii from clinical samples in Isfahan from 2021 to 2022. Isolates were identified as A. baumannii using biochemical tests and PCR of blaOXA-51. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was carried out using the Kirby-Bauer method and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values were determined for colistin. Additionally, MLST was performed according to the Pasteur scheme to assess the relationship between colistin resistant A. baumannii. A total of 70 non-repetitive A. baumannii isolates were obtained from different clinical samples. MIC results showed that seven A. baumannii isolates were resistant to colistin. The antibiotic susceptibility pattern revealed that all seven colistin resistant strains were resistant to all tested antibiotics. Based on MLST analysis, the colistin resistant isolates were assigned to five unique STs namely, ST2 (3; 42.9%) followed by ST78 (1; 14.3%), ST1077 (1; 14.3%), ST415 (1; 14.3%) and ST391 (1; 14.3%). Among them ST2, ST391 and ST415 belong to clonal complex 2. Colistin resistant A. baumannii ST2 is the main circulating clone in clinical settings in Iran, but additionally ST415, ST391, and ST1077 are found for the first time in our country. Intensive control procedures and strict adherence to surveillance programs are recommended to decrease the spread of carbapenem and colistin resistant A. baumannii strain.
Additive manufacturing of IoT housings with integrated electronics

Published: July 2023

AbstractAdditive manufacturing (AM) is an established fabrication method for diverse applications. Due to the versatile manufacturing possibilities, AM provides totally new approaches in designing objects. An emphasis in the field of research was set to the development of unique materials for AM. Among them, conductive filaments were examined for applications in printed electronics. The combination of new materials and the innovative design approach offered by AM generates a comprehensive field of applications. Promising applications can be found on the “Internet of Things (IoT)” sector. The development of connected products includes physical and electronic components. Traditionally, the fabrication process of these products is linear, thus, the design and the fabrication of the physical components is separated from the electronic part. To overcome this separation, an AM approach can be applied in the fabrication of IoT devices. This additive multi-material fabrication approach enables the fabrication of mechanical and electric components in one fabrication process. To prove this fabrication approach, antennas for IoT devices consisting of a supportive element and a antenna element for signal transmission were designed. The antennas were fabricated by material extrusion combining non-conductive and conductive filaments. Two different antennas (patch and arc antenna) were designed focusing on one specific frequencies range: 868 MHz (LoRa). To compare the AM antenna, reference antennas have been fabricated by etching. Antennas were characterized by simulation and measuring the return loss of the fabricated specimen. Finally, the transmission of a payload was tested in a real-world scenario. The tested antennas were able to transmit a payload, however, the return loss differed between the different designs and fabrication approaches. Nevertheless, the additive multi-material fabrication process enables an integrated production approach which led to functional devices. In this sense, electronics and physical components are merged into a truly smart product. Based on the findings, further applications of the hybrid approach will be investigated e.g., signal traces, passive electrical components to further strengthen the extensive application possibilities of additive manufacturing.

Published: July 2023

Teaching English as a foreign language (EFL) in Indonesia has its own complexity due to the multilingual situation and the broadly different levels of English proficiency. To cope with this particular challenge, some Indonesian teachers tend to use a translanguaging method in teaching their students so that their classes are more interactive and engaging. In this case, translanguaging is a form of multilingual practice in the context of multilingual education where students are given equal rights to develop their language potential. Realizing the complexity of the learning process in a multilingual context, we aimed to reveal the types and purposes of Translanguaging in the learning process. This study used a qualitative method and data were collected through observations, interviews, and document analyses. This study shows that there were three types of translanguaging used by teachers during their teaching. The types of translanguaging are intra-sentential translanguaging, intersentential translanguaging, and tag translanguaging, with four purposes inform of strategies that are related to each other. It was also found that translanguaging is useful in the EFL learning processes because it can be used as a method to explain learning materials in a more convenient way to enhance students’ understanding.
