The Covid-19 is a worldwide pandemic that has changed and disrupted the world economic perspective. The construction industry, which has already been a major growth engine for the economy, has also been totally shut down. The pandemic is having a wide-ranging effect on construction and infrastructure projects globally. All developments and projects have been put on hold until further notice. Indeed, the current pandemic is a significant cause of project delays in Malaysia that influenced in all industries. The evolution of the disease and its impact on the construction industry is extremely uncertain. As a result, it is wise to discuss the impact of Covid-19 on the construction industry at the beginning and end of the crisis in order to prepare for the potential risk and learn lessons for future planning. The aim of this research is to determine the impact of Covid-19 in civil engineering construction industry. In Malaysia, the entire construction and repair work progress that have been subjected to Movement Control Order (MCO) was suspended and thus causes project suspension, labor impact and work loss, time overrun, cost overrun, and financial consequences. In order to control the Covid-19 transmission, Malaysia implemented Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) during the restriction period of the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO). Besides, it is recommended to utilize the construction technologies in order to overcome the problem that occurred due to Covid-19. The usage of construction technologies could develop a sustainable country and those technologies can be beneficial in the post Covid-19 as a new norm in Malaysia.

Roads play a significant part of economic development. Due to financial constraints, in many developing countries like Botswana, there are large networks of unpaved roads. The major detriment effect of unpaved or gravel roads is dust emissions. Dust affects the climate change which in turn increases the generation of dust. This has a huge impact on human health which has risen to great concern. The best solution to mitigate dust emission from gravel roads is to seal the gravel roads but this cannot be easily achieved due to financial constraints. Traditionally, road managers have controlled dust by applying calcium chloride or magnesium chloride to the road surface. However, these salts easily leach out of the soil during precipitation events and may not be an option in environmentally sensitive areas. Bio-enzymes have emerged as environmentally friendly soil stabilizers. They are cheap and can easily be available. In this review paper the use of bio-enzymes as stabilizers and a solution to reducing dust will be reviewed, health effects of dust in this exercise to try and see if they can mitigate dust on earth roads that have been constructed using material at site or calcrete. The findings could spread the awareness of effects of dust in Botswana so that the public and private sector can help in supplying the enzymes to reduce health issues affecting the society in Botswana. It will also help decision-makers to make a wise choice of which bio-enzyme to be used effectively.

The goal of achieving concrete with adequate durability properties in terms of reduced susceptibility to alkali-silica and mechanical-strength behaviour has led to several high-performance materials development. While the use of Bambara nut shell ash in concrete is gaining acceptance in various applications, the mineralogical composition of such by-product materials cannot be easily controlled as a manufactured pozzolan. In this research work, the characterization and use of BNSA in concrete production was investigated. A mix proportion of 1:3:6 with water cement ratio of 0.55 were used. The percentage replacement of cement with BNSA from 0-40%. Concrete cubes of 150mm × 150mm × 150mm of OPC/BNSA were cast and cured at 3, 7, 28, 60 and 90 days respectively. At the end of each period of hydration, three replicate concrete samples for each period of hydration were crushed and their average comprehensive strength recorded. The result for the compressive strength test indicated rise in percentage difference as the BNSA replacement ratio increases from 5% to 40% with a value of 20.69% to 46.53% respectively. The concrete density response showed slight increment in percentage difference with a value of 0.85% to 3.47% for BNSA replacement ratio of 5% to 40% respectively. The Poisson ratio test results obtained indicates percentage difference increase as the BNSA ratio increases from 5% to 40% with a value of 5.17% to 11.14% respectively. Furthermore, the young’s modulus of elasticity results obtained showed percentage difference rise from 9.4% to 14.17% as BNSA ratio increases from 10.81% to 29.412% as BNSA replacement ratio increases from 5% to 40% respectively. The results indicate satisfactory performance at 5% replacement.

The transverse rumble strip (TRS) is one of the methods used to improve the driver's alertness to its driving and reduce their speed. However, the presence of a TRS causes unevenness on the road surface and may result in ground vibration when heavy vehicles passes it. This ground vibration may cause discomfort to the people living adjacent to the road. Therefore, there is a need to evaluate the level of ground vibration resulting from heavy vehicles passing over TRS especially on typical federal road in Malaysia which contains high percentage of fast-moving heavy vehicles. Ground vibration assessment study was conducted at federal road of Kluang-Batu Pahat Road (FT050) by using existing heavy vehicles in the traffic stream as study samples. ICP accelerometer and computer software Dewesoft7 have been used to measure and analyse the level of vibration generated. The results indicate heavy vehicles at a speed of 50 km/h, 33 km/h and 24km/h generate ground vibration level of 1.24 mm/s, 2.30 mm/s and 0.76 mm/s respectively. Other factors such as the weight of the heavy vehicles may involve in ground vibration generation mechanism as the results shown that there was no direct correlation between vehicle speed and level of ground vibration. All the generated ground vibration levels were found to be within the allowable limit set by Department of Environment Malaysia (DOE) standard guidelines.

Ineffective fire safety management is one of the severe issues in public buildings, especially in Nigeria. There has been a significant increase in fire disaster cases in Nigeria in the last 25 years, the incidence of fire disasters becomes the most significant and ultimate threat to building occupants, building and its contents, as well as the economic growth of the nation. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of building occupants, building contents, the essential features depend on the fire safety protection system, which should be under the fire safety regulation requirements. Nonetheless, practical fire safety management could remedy the damages or rates of injury in fire events. This study presents the findings on the investigation of the effectiveness of fire safety management strategy in Nigeria public buildings. This study attempts to determine the factors affecting improper fire safety management and determine the level of effective implementation of fire safety management components. From the study, safety training and adequate fire safety compliance are the factors that affect improper fire safety management the most. The level of effective implementation of fire safety management strategy is low, which translated to inadequate fire safety management. The most effective approach identified to improve the fire safety management and achievement of fire safety objectives is through effective fire safety management strategy and improvement in fire safety training arrangement and absolute compliance with the fire safety regulations.

In response to the worldwide environmental problem and fossil oil dependency concern, electric bus (EB) has emerged as a promising green transport to alleviate air pollution. However, there is no available method on how to quantify the environmental (green) performance of EB operational system that could provide proper guidance to the bus operators. Thus, this study aims to develop a green assessment and improvement framework for EB operational system which is capable of capturing bus noise, emission, and energy consumption level explicitly in quantifying the respective green index. To do this, the approaches of Gini Index, Analytic Hierarchy as well as Weighted-grading are employed accordingly. The resultant Green Performance Index (GPI) is vital not only to enhance the green performance of EB operational system, but also to tackle the needs and preferences of the bus operators in meeting the demand of passengers. By analysing a study area in Putrajaya (Malaysia), the findings show that the green performance of EB operational system would vary across numerous operational factors, including load factor, bus frequency, and bus type. The results also highlight that the green weightage of energy consumption emerges with the highest value (approximately 69%). Besides that, it was found that the improvement strategy of load factor increment is beneficial to improve the GPI of the bus operator, up to 37.9%. Concisely, it is anticipated that the developed approach as well as the resultant findings would yield useful insights especially to the bus operators to operate EB in a greener and better manner.

Sustainable transportation policies aim to reduce the negative impact on society, the environment, and the economy in urban areas. Sustainable transportation is an indicator to achieve the sustainability of urban areas. However, an inventory system to measure the level of sustainability of a road has not yet been established. Therefore, the Sustainable Transportation Inventory System (STIS) was developed as an initial assessment of road sustainability in urban areas using the software. Through a literature review, ten criteria from social, environmental, and economic indicators were identified. Findings of these criteria are compiled into an inventory system using Microsoft Excel software. STIS consists of five worksheets namely metric criteria, social, environmental, economic, and score calculation. This inventory calculates the score and level of road sustainability of urban areas based on the guidelines that have been identified. Results from expert evaluation through Ipoh City Council (MBI), Public Works Department (PWD) and Town and Country Planning Department (JPBD) in Perak showed STIS with ten criteria approved for testing in selected urban areas. STIS improvements can be structured for use in other cities in Malaysia concerning relevant guidelines and are easily accessible using smartphones.
Normal Transaminases in Methamphetamine- and Heroin-Associated Hyperammonemic Encephalopathy
Authors: Dolan Vera F.
Published: February 2023

Detecting undisclosed methamphetamine and heroin abuse is a challenge for life underwriters and medical directors. A common clinical assumption is that if substance abusers experience liver damage, it will be indicated by elevated serum transaminases. The following case suggests that assumption may not be true for heavy substance abusers who consume no or minimal alcohol.

This report describes a 44-year-old male with long-term use of inhaled combined methamphetamine and heroin (“speedballs”) and minimal alcohol use, whose transaminases remained normal while episodes of acute liver failure and transient hepatic encephalopathy from hyperammonemia were observed. In this case, a fatal motor vehicle accident occurred following the sudden onset of hepatic encephalopathy hours after consuming a “speedball.”

Normal transaminases may not be proof of a normal healthy liver among methamphetamine and heroin abusers.

Published: February 2023

The Ms 5.1 Tangshan earthquake that occurred on 11 July 2020 was recorded by the infrasound array DQS at a source-to-receiver distance of 196 km and an azimuth of 278°. Relatively high-apparent velocity, celerity of epicenter infrasound, and propagation modeling indicate a stratospheric arrival. The backprojection of the epicentral infrasound detection delineates a northeast direction-extended infrasound radiation region with a long axis of about 57 km and a short axis of about 28 km, which is in good agreement with the fault rupture direction. The robustness of the infrasound radiation source location is also tested. The consistency between the spatial distribution of the radiation source and the epicenter confirms that the extended radiating zone around the epicenter excited infrasound signals lasting 2.5 min at a distance of 196 km. A comparison between the backprojected sound pressure level and peak surface pressure derived from measured seismic ground motions shows some disagreement, which may involve propagation path and/or topography around the epicenter. Therefore, these factors should be taken into account when locating the sources of infrasound and estimating the distribution of ground motion. This study shows the ability of infrasound arrays to detect, locate, and research moderate earthquakes and help reconstruct the seismoacoustic coupling in the source region and fault rupture. Moreover, the complexity of the infrasound radiation source and seismoacoustic coupling mechanism is recognized. It is expected that infrasonic observations of moderate earthquakes will increase with the number of infrasound arrays deployed worldwide. Our study is also helpful to the scientific design and optimal layout of infrasound monitoring systems, which will allow for the detection of earthquakes in addition to explosive sources.
Sex-specific regulation and neural representations of social behavior in a corticothalamic circuit

Published: February 2023

Social behaviors are fundamental to our survival and well-being and are also disrupted in numerous psychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia. Although a robust body of work indicates that the prefrontal cortex (PFC) plays an important role in regulating social interactions, how the PFC communicates with other brain regions to exert top-down control over social behaviors remains elusive. The PFC sends dense projections to the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (PVT), and recent work has demonstrated that this neural circuit can support behavioral responses to salient, emotionally-relevant cues. Therefore, we hypothesized that PFC projections to the PVT may play an essential role in regulating behavior during a social encounter. To explore this, we first utilized an intersectional chemogenetic approach to evaluate the behavioral consequences of exciting or inhibiting neural activity in the PFC[right arrow]PVT circuit. We found that excitation of this pathway significantly reduced social interaction in male mice, yet increased social interaction in female mice. Further, we recapitulated these results in males by selectively activating PFC axon terminals in the PVT, demonstrating that optical activation can reduce social interaction when time-locked to the entry of the social chamber. Finally, we utilized fiber photometry to monitor changes to PFC[right arrow]PVT neural activity while mice explored a novel conspecific or a novel object. In male mice, we found that PFC[right arrow]PVT neurons are inhibited during the onset of social investigation but not object investigation. In contrast, PFC[right arrow]PVT neurons in female mice showed a significant increase in activity exclusively during social approach. Thus, the PFC[right arrow]PVT circuit conveys distinct social information in males versus females that is critical for social interaction in a sex-dependent manner.

Published: February 2023

Pediatric asthma/asthma exacerbation is the most common chronic disease in children. Ambient air pollution (e.g., fine particulate matter - PM2.5) and aeroallergens (e.g., pollen, mold) are risk factors for asthma exacerbation, with both independent and synergistic effects. Multiple mechanisms have been proposed to support potential interactions between air pollution and aeroallergens on asthma exacerbation - including within the ambient environment and the respiratory system. In addition, respiratory virus infections, accounting for up to 80 percent of asthma childhood exacerbations, are well-known risk factors. Joint effects between environmental risk factors make efforts in asthma control more difficult. Yet, the management of environmental risk factors including PM2.5 and aeroallergens are critical for asthma control at the population level. This dissertation added epidemiologic evidence on the potential impact of interactions between time-varying environmental and viral exposures on childhood asthma exacerbation, as important real-world data in Philadelphia, PA, during the 'pollen season' (mid-March to October) from 2011 to 2016, through three aims. In the first aim, we estimated synergistic effects of PM2.5 and aeroallergen levels on childhood asthma exacerbations, hypothesizing that joint effects of PM2.5 and aeroallergen would be stronger than the independent effect of each. In the second aim, we evaluated the effect modification of respiratory virus infection rates on the association between PM2.5/aeroallergen and childhood asthma exacerbation. We hypothesized stronger associations for both PM2.5 and aeroallergens in the relationship with asthma exacerbation. When respiratory virus infection rates were high. In the last aim, we developed a predictive model of daily asthma exacerbation rates, based on different environmental and viral risk factors. We hypothesized that the predicted 'high-risk' asthma exacerbation days would have elevated levels of multiple risk factors.

Se utilizó el software IBM SPSS Statistics v.22, mediante la estadística descriptiva; en donde se logró identificar las características más relevantes del problema, tanto en su origen como en el desarrollo del mismo y en base a ella se han elaborado las tablas y figuras que muestran las frecuencias y porcentajes. Los resultados revelan que existen muchas deficiencias que deben ser tomadas en cuenta por la cooperativa, por lo cual con la realización del plan de marketing se contribuirá a mejorar la competitividad, lo que a su vez ayudará a diferenciarse de la competencia siendo líder en el sector.

La Diabetes Mellitus (DM) es un síndrome de alteraciones metabólicas con hiperglucemia, que produce una deficiencia absoluta o relativa de insulina. Los efectos del tratamiento de la DM tipo II con Sitagliptina sobre el metabolismo lipídico en general o particularmente sobre la homeostasis del colesterol corporal han sido escasamente estudiados. Por esta razón resulta trascendental el control de las dislipidemias en los pacientes con DM tipo II, siendo el objetivo: determinar el efecto en los niveles de colesterol total de la sitapgliptina, en Rattus rattus var. Albinus con diabetes inducida por estreptozotocina. Seguimos un estudio experimental, prospectivo de corte longitudinal, se seleccionaron 20 ratas albinas machos; elegidos al azar, agrupados en n=10: G-l (grupo Control), con diabetes inducida por vía intraperitoneal en una dosis de estreptozotocina (40 mg/Kg) y G-II (grupo experimental), con diabetes inducida con Estreptozotocina (40mg/kg) y tratada con Sitagliptina al 0,6%. Para las mediciones se utilizó el equipo Accutrend® Plus, que mide la intensidad del color producido en la capa reactiva de la tira reactiva, a través de fotometría de reflectancia. En el Grupo I, se apreció un ligero incremento en la concentración de colesterol sérico y el Grupo II, incrementó considerablemente de la concentración sérica de colesterol; de acuerdo al 1, 5, 15 y 20 días de exposición a 95% de confianza, siendo su p < 0.05 teniendo significancia estadística. Comparando los cambios de concentración sérica de colesterol total se evidenció un incremento en dichos niveles, como reacción adversa medicamentosa de la Sitagliptina.

El docente como gestor de procesos didácticos socioeducativos: una familia - una universidad
Authors:   Ministerio del Poder Popular para la Educación de Venezuela, Olivero Pinto Anibal José
Published: February 2023

Esta investigación emerge impregnada con un profundo halo de complejidad, que busca el repensar del quehacer de las organizaciones educativas en tiempo de crisis bajo una visión hegemónica de la educación y de la vida misma. Se parte de una concepción de la educación como actividad formativa, permanente, con sentido, trascendental a la propia situación actual del ser, a decir de Balza (2008), una educación “que permea y modela la multidimensionalidad del ser humano”, por lo que ésta es concebida de manera integral, como un todo que se nutre de la concurrencia y aportes de las disciplinas socioculturales y sociopluriculturales, pues, la transdisciplinariedad, según Nicolescu (1996), es comprender la irrealidad a la realidad desde la unidad del conocimiento. No obstante, la inter-problemática más sentida en este contexto está directamente asociada al docente como gestor de procesos, para mediar en la construcción de una familia – una universidad. La metodología se fundamenta en el paradigma cualitativo de naturaleza comprensiva, bajo una perspectiva fenomenológica sobre la base del método hermenéutico, y se emplearán como técnicas la revisión documental y la entrevista no estructurada. Para compilar la información se seleccionarán 4 docentes de diferentes estados de la Nación. La información se registrará en matrices descriptivas para proceder a su respectiva categorización y realizar el análisis que posteriormente conducirá a la interpretación hermenéutica de la irrealidad a la realidad. Los resultados arrojados, finalmente permitirán la teorización fundamentada, con la finalidad de generar un corpus teórico como un nuevo conocimiento.
Del ensayo al cómic: en busca de la diversidad en la traducción multimodal de Sapiens
Authors: Savchenkova Margarita
Published: February 2023

El presente artículo aborda la representación de la diversidad proyectada a la prehistoria en el cómic Sapiens: A Graphic History, The Birth of Humankind (2020), de Yuval Noah Harari. A través de esta adaptación gráfica del ensayo Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind (2014), el historiador israelí ofrece una nueva lectura de la sociedad prehistórica, a la vez que desafía múltiples estereotipos y prejuicios que conforman el imaginario colectivo acerca de aquellos tiempos remotos. En vista de las últimas corrientes de la traductología, que invitan a entender el concepto de traducción más allá del plano lingüístico, la versión gráfica del ensayo de Harari puede considerarse como una traducción multimodal, una combinación entre la traducción intralingüística y la intersemiótica (Jakobson 1959/2000). Con el fin de examinar qué lugar ocupan las expresiones de la diversidad en ambas obras, se ha realizado su lectura paralela y se ha aplicado el modelo de análisis traductológico y semiológico, propuesto por Pereira (2008). El estudio ha mostrado que, mediante la traducción, Harari confecciona un mensaje ideológico para establecer paralelismos entre la época prehistórica y el mundo contemporáneo, en términos de la diversidad étnico-cultural, afectivo-sexual y de género.
