Authors: Luo Linqing , Gutierrez Santiago Unai , Wu Yuxin 
Published: February 2025

Abstract. Efficient gearbox monitoring is vital for improving fault detection, enhancing design, and reducing operation and maintenance (O&amp;M) costs, particularly for offshore wind turbines. This paper introduces an innovative approach using high-resolution Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) based on Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry (OFDR) to measure gearbox strain in real time. By bonding a single optical fiber around the full circumference of a 2.152 m diameter planetary stage in a 3.75 MW wind turbine gearbox, we captured millimeter-scale distributed strain profiles of planetary gears under different input torque levels. Our results show accurate identification of planet gear locations in real time and rotation speed (10.42 revolutions per minute) and a strong linear correlation between applied torque and measured strain across all monitored locations (R2 = 0.9997), with data collected every 2.6 mm. Strain variations of approximately 200 microstrain were observed on individual gear teeth during engagement, providing granular insights into mechanical behavior and load distribution. Additionally, DFOS detected temperature variations during operation, highlighting its capability to concurrently monitor thermal and mechanical anomalies. This study represents the first application of continuous DFOS to a full-scale wind turbine gearbox. The approach offers a scalable and practical solution for early fault detection, improved mechanical performance, and more reliable wind turbine operations, addressing critical challenges in the wind energy sector.

The effects of starting microstructure on the results of double intercritical annealing process of 0.107%C-2.39%Mn-0.453%Si dual phase steel
Authors: CHUMOUNG Wichayut , SAENARJHAN Nithi 
Published: February 2025

This study investigates and compares the effects of the starting microstructure on the double intercritical annealing (DIA) process on the microstructure and mechanical properties of 0.11%C-2.39%Mn-0.45%Si dual phase steel. The specimens were austenitized, followed by water quenching (WQ) or air cooling (AC), then DIA at 730°C. For the WQ method, high cooling rate results in the formation of a high strength martensitic structure. Conversely, AC method yields a moderate cooling rate, forming a bainitic structure. After single intercritical annealing (SIA), the microstructure transformed into ferrite and martensite. WQ method specimens contain high stress concentration, leading to earlier recrystallization compared to the AC method resulting in a higher amount of martensite and a larger ferrite grain area. In contrast, the AC method results in more homogeneous structure, thus it shows lower strength with higher ductility compared to the WQ method. After DIA, the WQ method has a higher strength than the AC method, with similar ductility. This is because the morphology of the martensite in WQ730SIA is thin and sharp needle dispersed irregularly in matrix which has a higher stress concentration than AC730SIA which has short and rounded martensite dispersed regularly in ferrite matrix. However, regardless of slightly higher mechanical properties, the WQ method causes the risk of the workpiece breaking during first water quenching, therefore, the AC method provides a better heat treatment option.

La Importancia de los Contratos Administrativos en Ecuador y los Desafíos para Garantizar Transparencia y Eficiencia en la Función Pública
Authors: Córdoba Cartagena Maribel , Mora Rodríguez Edison Leandro 
Published: February 2025

El presente artículo aborda la importancia de los contratos administrativos en Ecuador, enfatizando su rol en la gestión eficiente y transparente de los recursos públicos. Los contratos administrativos son instrumentos esenciales para garantizar la provisión de bienes y servicios necesarios para el desarrollo del país, destacándose como herramientas fundamentales en la relación entre el sector público y privado. En este contexto, se resalta cómo su adecuada regulación y ejecución inciden directamente en el cumplimiento de los fines del Estado. Sin embargo, el análisis también identifica los desafíos más relevantes que enfrentan estos procesos en Ecuador, tales como la falta de transparencia, la corrupción y la limitada eficiencia en la ejecución de proyectos públicos. Estos factores no solo generan desconfianza en la ciudadanía, sino que también afectan la optimización de los recursos del Estado. Además, se evidencia que, a pesar de los avances normativos, persisten debilidades en la implementación de mecanismos de control y supervisión. Por consiguiente, el artículo propone que garantizar la transparencia y eficiencia en los contratos administrativos requiere una mayor capacitación de los servidores públicos, la implementación de tecnologías que promuevan la trazabilidad de los procesos y el fortalecimiento de las instituciones encargadas del control y la auditoría. Finalmente, se concluye que estos desafíos deben abordarse de manera integral, combinando esfuerzos legislativos, administrativos y sociales, con el fin de fomentar una gestión pública ética, eficaz y orientada al desarrollo sostenible del país. De esta manera se garantiza la optimización de los recursos públicos en la Administración Ecuatoriana.

Authors: Komba Bernard Baraka 
Published: February 2025

Peri-urban land cover change in developing countries is taking place at a rapid rate following an increase in population in urban areas. This paper assessed land cover changes in peri-urban areas in developing countries. It specifically focuses to determine land cover changes which have occurred between 2003 and 2016 and exploring causes of land cover change in Songea peri-urban areas. The study applied a mixed research design as it involved quantitative and qualitative approaches. 132 heads of households were randomly selected and used in the study as a sample. Data were collected using questionnaires and interviews. Arc-Map 10.1 was used to analyse Google earth downloaded images of 2003 and 2016. Other data were analysed using SPSS version 20 based on descriptive analysis and content analysis was used for collecting qualitative data. Findings revealed that land cover changed from farm, grassland, and swamp into the built-up area following population increase in Ruhuwiko. The built-up area increased from 31% to 61 % while the cultivated area decreased from 31% in 2003 to 15% in 2016. 82% of the respondents pointed out that population increase in peri-urban areas were the main cause of land cover change. The study concluded that peri-urban land cover is changing toward built up areas and population increase is the main cause for peri-urban land cover change unlike climate change and infrastructural development. The study recommends enforcing urban planning regulation to avoid unplanned settlements.

فکرِ اقبالؒ کے نمایاں خدوخال - ایک جائزہ
Authors: ڈاکٹر سید قاسم جلالؔ  , ڈاکٹر محمد سلیم مظہر  
Published: February 2025

This article highlights the salient features of Allama Iqbal's National poetry. At the outset of his poetic career, he worked in the guidance of Dagh Dehlvi who polished his poetic diction. For a very short period, he followed the teacher's style, but before long, he gave it up and invented a poetic style of his own. Now withstanding his poetic nature, he was strongly attracted to philosophy which settled down the course of his literary future. He set aside his personal griefs and pleasures and devoted his poetic genius to the rehabilitation of his nation. In this field, Akbar Elah Abadi and Altaf Hussain Hali had already dedicated their poetic energies to the reformation of Indian Muslims. They are the foundation stone of Iqbal's poetic stronghold. The life and soul of his message are the basic tenets of Islam which are to be implemented, firstly on individual self, and then on human community at large.

A Rhetorical Analysis of the Speeches of Pakistani Prime Ministers Delivered at United Nations General Assembly in The Last Decade
Authors: Naeem Iqbal  , Dr. Said Imran  , Dr. Syed Sabih Ul Hassan  
Published: February 2025

In the domain of rhetorical analysis, numerous researchers from various disciplines have currently shown a keen interest in the study of rhetoric. Particularly, these previously conducted studies paid due attention to the study of political discourses in diverse contexts. Therefore, the present study aims to record that how Pakistani political leaders use language to influence and address global problems in their speeches at international context. Moreover, the study analyzed political speeches delivered by Pakistani Prime Ministers at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in the last decade. These political leaders from Pakistan include; Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Imran Khan, and Shahid Khaqan Abbasi respectively. Furthermore, the current study also aims to examine the rhetorical strategies used in these speeches, specifically emphasizing Aristotle's notions of ethos, pathos, and logos in order to comprehend their significance in political discourse(s). A descriptive-qualitative approach, particularly content analysis, is employed to analyze the rhetorical strategies and their implications in the arena of Political discourse analysis. In the major findings of study, it is revealed that these speeches delivered by the aforementioned prime ministers, employed a range of rhetorical devices, viz. personal anecdotes, statistical data, emotional appeals, and logical arguments, to convey their communicative purposes effectively and informatively. It is pertinent to mention that, the study in hand also analyzed to unfold the ways in which these rhetorical strategies are crafted semantically and syntactically to enhance their persuasive power via language. The findings also show that the chosen three Prime Ministers employed these rhetorical strategies in their speeches while similarities and differences were found in their approaches and implementations of the rhetorical strategies. For example, Shehbaz Sharif focused on credibility by using personal experience and statistics. Likewise, Imran Khan emphasized compelling emotions and logical arguments, and similarly Shahid Khaqan Abbasi emphasized ethical principles and global responsibility. Thus, these commonalities and differences highlight the diverse approaches of persuasion based on the global politics demands and preferences of the political speeches and the individual personalities of the leaders. Finally, this study suggests that future research would be conducted on other speeches by Prime Ministers Shehbaz Sharif, Imran Khan, and Shahid Khaqan Abbasi in other contexts to further comprehend political discourse strategies and practices.

Characteristics and Impacts of Ecotourism In The Municipalities of Basco and Mahatao, Batanes
Authors: Viola K.L. F. , Gomez R. A. 
Published: February 2025

This was conducted to document the extent of ecotourism activities based on the demand function and the correlation of tourism visits (or arrivals) with ‘tourism-related’ services and amenities. It also assessed the impacts of eco-tourism in terms of solid and amenities. It also assessed the impacts of eco-tourism in terms of solid waste generation, water quality and water supply. The field work phase of the study was conducted in the months of May and June 2006.

Results showed that the level of ecotourism in Batanes was quite or relatively high. Based on the tourism arrivals from 1995 to 2006, there was an increasing trend. With the number of visitors reaching past the two thousand plus mark. The demand curve values (R2 value of 0.4803 and R value of 0.69) showed a more or less definite pattern of visitation by tourists, and it also reflected that Batanes is generally well visited place by tourists. The willingness to pay (WTP) of an individual in each zone showed that the visitors from Zone 3 (Ireland) had an WTP of less than about Php 450, 000.000. This implies that people from other countries (e.g. Ireland) were willing to spend big amounts of money to enjoy the recreational value offered by the eco-tourism sites in Basco and Mahatao.

There was no significant correlation among the number of tourists with the number of restaurants, lodging houses, and souvenir shops. However, the number of tourists and the public transport units showed a significant correlation.
In 2005 the estimated volume of solid waste produced by the two communities together with the tourists has increased to 1,227,431.44 kilograms from 944, 987.20 kilograms in 1995. Moreover, biodegradable wastes were “not frequently seen and in small amounts” (Rank 4) while non-biodegradable wastes were observed to be “frequently scattered in the sites but in small amount” (Rank 3). The impacts of these wastes might take many generations to be realized but it might still have impacts that would cause destruction to the environment.
The water quality utilized for drinking, washing and bathing purposes was still generally “very clean” (Rank 2) in the two municipalities in 2006, with a better perception towards “extremely clean” (Rank 1) in Mahatao. Generally, the water quality in the two municipalities is “very clean” and still safe for the needs of the public as perceived by the community respondents. There was a slight change in water quality in the two towns especially in the more urban town of Basco. Ecotourism activities may still have contributed to this change in water quality, as a consequence of the influx of more people into the place.
Majority of the respondents also perceived that the water supply in the two municipalities is not enough for their daily needs for the whole year. In general, the volume of water distributed is insufficient for both community and the tourists. The impacts of ecotourism activities on water supply could thus aggravate the problem on insufficiency in the coming years.
