Системы обслуживания с прерываниями и задержками перерывов в работе прибора
Authors: Afanasiev Grigory Aleksandrovich
Published: July 2022

Рассматривается одноканальная система обслуживания с перерывами, возникающими, когда в системе нет требований. Перерыв может означать как полное отключение прибора, так и его переход в другой режим работы. Если в течение перерыва число требований в системе достигает некоторого фиксированного уровня, перерыв прекращается и прибор начинает обслуживать требования в стандартном режиме. Когда после перерыва в системе нет требований, наступает период задержки, который прерывается в момент прихода первого требования. Если требования не поступили, начинается новый перерыв. Входящий поток требований вне перерывов - пуассоновский, а все остальные величины, определяющие функционирование системы (время обслуживания, длительности перерывов и задержек), имеют произвольное распределение. В предположении, что процесс, определяющий число требований в системе в течение перерыва, и планируемая продолжительность перерыва независимы, находится стационарное распределение числа требований в системе. Изучается также асимптотика числа завершенных перерывов.

Future challenges on focused fluid migration in sedimentary basins: Insight from field data, laboratory experiments and numerical simulations
Authors: Vidal Valérie , Gay Aurélien
Published: July 2022

In a present context of sustainable energy and hazard mitigation, understanding fluid migration in sedimentary basins – large subsea provinces of fine saturated sands and clays – is a crucial challenge. Such migration leads to gas or liquid expulsion at the seafloor, whichmay be the signature of deep hydrocarbon reservoirs, or precursors to violent subsea fluid releases. If the former may orient future exploitation, the latter represent strong hazards for anthropic activities such as offshore production, CO$_2$ storage, transoceanic telecom fibers or deep-sea mining. However, at present, the dynamics of fluid migration in sedimentary layers, in particular the upper 500 m, still remains unknown in spite of its strong influence on fluid distribution at the seafloor. Understanding the mechanisms controlling fluid migration and release requires the combination of accurate field data, laboratory experiments and numerical simulations. Each technique shall lead to the understanding of the fluid structures, the mechanisms at stake, and deep insights into fundamental processes ranging from the grain scale to the kilometers-long natural pipes in the sedimentary layers.Here we review the present available techniques, advances and challenges still open for the geosciences, physics, and computer science communities.
3-D data-space joint inversion of gravity and magnetic data using a correlation-analysis constraint
Authors: Liu Sheng , Jin Shuanggen , Xuan Songbai , Liu Xiang
Published: July 2022

Non-uniqueness, low computational efficiency and large memory requirements are main issues for geophysical data inversion. In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm for 3D correlationanalysis joint inversion of gravity and magnetic data with high accuracy and low computation effort. Firstly, since the number of the observed field data is smaller than the number of inverted parameters, the calculations of the correlation-analysis for joint inversion of gravity and magnetic data in model space (MS) are transformed into the equivalent calculations in data space (DS), which can reduce the dimensions of the calculation domain, improve the computation efficiency and reduce the non-uniqueness. Then, an improved conjugate gradient (ICG) method is employed for the optimization algorithm, which can facilitate the use of stable functions with sparse factors and improve the accuracy of the inversion. The inversion performed by the combined DS-ICG method for synthetic data tests shows the calculation effort can be effectively reduced, and the issues with non-uniqueness are improved. Finally, the test by real field data can delineate the distribution of underground geological bodies, which illustrates the strong stability and good applicability of our extended method.

Published: July 2022

A go-kart is a little four-wheeled automobile. By definition, a go-kart lacks both a differential and a
suspension. They are often raced on smaller tracks, however amateur drivers will occasionally
operate them for fun or as a hobby. Carting is frequently seen as a stepping stone to more
competitive and expensive motorsports. The most affordable type of motor sport is commonly
regarded as kart racing. Almost anyone can engage in it as a leisure sport, and anyone 8 years of
age and older is eligible for a racing license. The typical method for introducing new drivers to
motor racing is through karting, which is inexpensive and generally safe. Although many people
think of karting as something only kids do, adults also participate in it a lot.

Published: July 2022

Artisanal or small-scale fishing is one of the oldest extractive activities in the lower Amazon region, generating income and subsistence for a good part of the riverside population. In this sense, the objective of the research was to characterize the fishing activity and socioeconomic structure of artisanal fishermen in the Costa Tapará community, Santarém, Pará State. Data collection was carried out through interviews with semistructured forms to 82 fishermen out of a total of 302 registered fishermen, during the period from March to November 2019. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that the average age of the fishermen was 37.6 (81.7%) years (± 11.5), 70.7% had incomplete primary education and 91.5% had fishing as their main source of income. The fishing activity is presented as artisanal and on a small scale, practiced in small wooden rowing and/or motorized boats, employing multiplicity of equipment highlighting the reed, mesh, and net. July and August stood out as the best fishing season. The biggest problems identified in the community were socioenvironmental conflicts. Understanding how this community dynamic works will directly contribute to the development of management alternatives and regional fishing sector planning.

Published: July 2022

The paper aimed to examine if the mechanical characteristics (tensile strength, elongation, and friction) of the selected flexible packaging materials (BOPP and PET/PE) change after the packaging process. Some researchers have shown that mechanical characteristics can change because of the various effects to which foils are exposed (temperature, transport devices, solvents, etc.). The measurement of tensile strength and elongation was carried out according to SRPS G.S2.734, and the measurement of friction according to ASTM D 1894. The results show that there were no significant changes in the examined mechanical characteristics that could affect the functionality of the packaging.

Published: July 2022

Amphioctopus aegina is an important fishery resource in the coastal waters of China. In the present study, the genetic diversity and population genetic structure among four populations of A. aegina throughout its distributional range in China were assessed using the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase 1 (COI) sequences. The results revealed a generally low genetic diversity (Hd: 0.2842–0.6670; Pi: 0.0007–0.0015) in A. aegina populations. The neighbor-joining (NJ) phylogenetic tree and the haplotype networks, as well as the results of the molecular variance (AMOVA) analyses, indicated a shallow phylogeographic structure among the four populations. However, pairwise ΦST statistics and genetic distance analyses revealed significant (p<0.01) genetic differentiation among Qinzhou and the rest three populations of Zhanjiang, Huizhou, and Dongshan. The demographic history analyses indicated a population expansion in A. aegina, and the role of Leizhou peninsula isolation in shaping the population differentiation. These results would largely enhance our understanding of the genetic structure and hence promote the scientific management of A. aegina fishery resources in coastal waters of China.

Unipolar versus Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty for Displaced Femoral Neck Fractures in the Elderly: Is There a Difference?
Authors: Ng Dennis ZW , Lee Kevin BL
Published: July 2022

Introduction: Hip hemiarthoplasties are commonly performed for displaced femoral neck fractures. Considerable differences of opinion exists regarding the choice between unipolar and bipolar designs. The main theoretical advantage of a bipolar over a unipolar prosthesis is the reduction of acetabular erosion due to movement taking place within the implant rather than at the acetabular implant interface. It is thus hypothesised that bipolar prostheses lead to better long-term functional outcomes with less complications. In this study, we aimed to compare unipolar (Moore’s) and bipolar hemiarthroplasty looking specifically for differences in 1) pain and functional hip scores; 2) rates of acetabular erosion, component migration and revision surgery; and 3) rates of postoperative morbidity. Materials and Methods: Inclusion criteria were 1) age more than or equal to 65 years; 2) displaced femoral neck fracture of non-pathologic origin; 3) normal cognitive function; 4) ambulatory with or without assistive devices prior to the fracture; and 5) treated with a primary prosthetic replacement. Of the 193 patients that were available for review, 118 were in the Moore’s group and 75 in the bipolar group. Postoperatively, patients were assessed with regards to pain, satisfaction, Modified Harris hip score and Oxford hip score. Standard anteroposterior pelvis and lateral hip radiographs were obtained at regular intervals. These were analysed specifically with regards to acetabular erosion and component migration. Results: There was no significant difference between a Moore’s and a bipolar prosthesis regarding hip pain, functional hip scores, rates of acetabular erosion, component migration, revision surgery and complications rates. Conclusion: Use of the more expensive bipolar prosthesis in elderly and premorbidly ambulant patient is not justified.

Published: July 2022

Introduction: Late preterm (LP) neonates (34 to 36 weeks gestation) are often managed like term neonates though current literature has identified them to have greater complications. The primary objective of our study was to evaluate and compare morbidity and resource utilisation in LPs especially in view of paucity of Asian studies in this regard. Materials and Methods: A retrospective audit was carried out on 12,459 neonates born in KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKWCH). The chief outcome measures were hypoglycaemia, hypothermia, respiratory morbidity, feeding problems and neonatal jaundice. Resource utilisation included neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission, mechanical ventilation, parenteral nutrition and length of hospitalisation. Results: Of 12,459 deliveries, 1221 (10%) were LP deliveries with a significantly increasing trend of 8.6% to 10% from 2002 to 2008 (P = 0.001). Neonatal morbidity in the form of hypoglycaemia (34 weeks vs 35 to 36 weeks vs term: 26% vs 16% vs 1%); hypothermia (5% vs 1.7% vs 0.2%); feeding difficulties (30% vs 9% vs 1.4%); respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) (4% vs 1% vs 0.1%); transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTNB) (23% vs 8% vs 3%) and neonatal jaundice (NNJ) needing phototherapy (63% vs 24% vs 8%), were significantly different between the 3 groups, with highest incidence in 34-week-old infants. Resource utilisation including intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) (15% vs 3.5% vs 1%), total parenteral nutrition/intravenous (TPN/IV) (53% vs 17% vs 3%) and length of stay (14 ± 22 days vs 4 ± 4.7 days vs 2.6 ± 3.9 days) was also significantly higher (P <0.001) in LPs. Conclusion: LP neonates had significantly higher morbidity and resource utilisation compared to term infants. Among the LP group, 34-week-old infants had greater complications compared to infants born at 35 to 36 weeks.

Published: July 2022

Introduction: Anti-thyroid antibodies are associated with extra-thyroid diseases such as Graves’ ophthalmopathy and Hashimoto’s encephalopathy. Some evidence suggests that anti-thyroid antibodies are also associated with depression. Interleukin (IL)-17 appears to play an important role in autoimmune thyroid disease. This study investigated whether specific thyroid autoantibodies and IL-17 distinguished persons with depression from non-depressed controls. Materials and Methods: Forty-seven adult females with non-psychotic, current major depressive disorder and 80 healthy female controls participated in this study. Thyroid peroxidase antibodies, thyroglobulin antibodies, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor antibodies, free T3 and T4, TSH and IL-17 were measured from the serum. Measurements were repeated to assess test-retest reliability. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to estimate discriminatory values of the measurements. Differences between groups and associations between the clinical and biochemical assessments were analysed. Results: Median TSH receptor antibody concentration was significantly higher in the depressed than control group (P <0.001). Area under the ROC curve was 0.80 (95% CI, 0.73 to 0.88). Higher TSH receptor antibody titres were associated with greater depression severity scores (r = 0.33, P <0.05). IL-17 levels were not associated with TSH receptor antibody levels or depression severity scores. Thyroid function and other thyroid autoantibodies were not associated with depression severity. Conclusion: TSH receptor antibodies might be a biomarker of immune dysfunction in depression.

AN EVALUATION ON THE TURKISH FEMINISM MOVEMENT: “NATIONAL SENSITIVITIES” AND “SUCCESSFUL WOMEN
Authors: ÇOKOĞULLAR BOZASLAN Emel
Published: July 2022

The Turkish feminism movement emerged with a manifesto published in April 2021 and organized its defenses on social media. It has been claimed that the Turkish feminism movement was started for women’s struggle for equality and freedom. It has been stated that it is aimed to eliminate the problems that continue to exist in Turkey and cause false perceptions to settle. It has been mentioned that these problems are caused by the manipulation of groups that are members or sympathizers of a terrorist organization and that this manipulation gains a more radical character with each passing day. A strict reaction has been developed towards the propaganda of the terrorist organization by using women’s actions and rallies, and the struggle for rights and freedom of women who are members of the terrorist organization to take place in these actions and rallies. The idea that women have problems arising from being a woman, especially inequality and discrimination, and that these problems can be solved by taking inspiration from Turkish history comes to the fore. For this reason, attention is drawn to the achievements of women who stand out and are the first in Turkish history. The Turkish emphasis is not an effort to strengthen the nationalist ideological background; it is emphasized the bond of citizenship. The Turkish feminism movement focuses on the problems of all women who are bound by citizenship; it is stated that only women who are members or sympathizers of a terrorist organization are excluded from this movement. Criticisms that women are divided and feminism is universal are also found to be unwarranted and meaningless. In this study, the main arguments of the Turkish feminism movement, which is a fairly new formation, are discussed and an analysis is made on the topics of which arguments the movement uses while reinforcing these arguments and what kind of perspective it develops on gender roles. The discursive framework that is tried to be created about Turkishness and Turkish womanhood is defined; how the bond that was tried to be established between the Ottoman women’s movement and the Kemalist women’s movement found its place within this framework is among the questions whose answers are sought throughout the study. In accordance with the purpose of the study, the statements and shares of the Turkish feminism movement on social media, as well as the statements and interviews of the founding members, constitute the data area of the study.

Authors:   Institut Teknologi Bandung & Indonesia, Faturrahman Rizqi Ghani
Published: July 2022

PT. Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) or known as KAI is a State-Owned Enterprise in Indonesia with the obligation of organizing transportation that prioritizes passenger comfort, safety, and security. KAI is the only train transportation service in Indonesia, so it has a strong advantage over other modes of transportation. However, the Covid 19 pandemic has a great impact on KAI which resulted in a significant decrease in the number of passengers in KAI operating areas in Bandung in 2020-2022. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze internally and externally what factors influence the decline in passengers on KAI, and what strategies are appropriate for KAI to implement in order to increase the number of passengers in the future. The internal analysis uses 3 tools, namely STP analysis, 7P analysis, and VRIO analysis, which is intended to determine the strengths and weaknesses of KAI. External analysis is carried out using 4 tools, namely PESTEL, Porter’s 5 Forces, competitor analysis, and customer analysis aimed at knowing the external opportunities and threats being faced by KAI. The findings from the internal and external analysis are used to analyze the SWOT. In the SWOT analysis, it was found that KAI has 3 weaknesses and 4 threats being faced. Then the TOWS Matrix is used to formulate the right proposed strategy for KAI in overcoming existing weaknesses and threats. There are 12 alternative strategies from the results of the TOWS analysis which are then grouped into 4 categories, namely ST strategy, WT strategy, SO strategy, and WO strategy. In these 4 categories, QSPM analysis is used to calculate the greatest weight value for each strategy based on the expert judgment from the KAI. The chosen strategy is the ST strategy which has 3 strategies, namely Implementing Social Marketing that shows the benefits of using KAI for the society & environment, Improving the quality of the services to increase value, and Attractive promotions only available for new members. It is hoped that the selected recommendation strategy can be implemented properly by KAI so that it can reach a wider range of consumers in order to increase the number of passengers.
Flexural Strength Models for Normal Laterised and High Strength Laterised Concretes at Optimum Mix Proportions
Authors:   Lecturer, Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Uyo, Nigeria.
Published: July 2022

This study develops mathematical models for obtaining optimum flexural strengths of normal laterised(NLC) and high strength laterised concretes (HSLC). The models can be expressly used to evaluate the indirect tensile strengths of both types of concretes without going through the traditional methods of mix design. Optimum mixing ratios and optimum flexural strengths predicted are also supplied by the models. The three point load method was adopted for testing for the flexural strengths. Laterite, has been widely used to partially or wholly replace sand in concrete with resultant low strengths. The production of HSLC using superplasticiser was achieved in this study. Scheffe’s simplex theory based on (5, 2) simplex lattice (for NLC) and (6, 2) simplex lattice (for HSLC) was used to optimize the mix proportions for the flexural strengths of each respective laterised concrete. Conplast SP 430 superplasticiser (a sulphonated naphthalene formaldehyde admixture) was used to obtain the high strength laterised concrete. Mathematical models were developed for the mix proportioning of the laterised concretes and all strengths predicted by the models agreed with their corresponding experimentally observed values. Using the model, the optimum flexural strength and the corresponding mix proportions for the targeted strength of laterised concrete could be easily evaluated with the help of the written Q-BASIC computer programme.

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of e-filing system usage for MSME taxpayers in Indonesia during the COVID-19 pandemic. Community activities’ restrictions on national scale cause taxation activities are also carried out online, including tax reporting accomplished by utilizing the e-filing system. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative method with a literature study approach. Most of the literature data used is the implementation of e-filing system for MSME taxpayers during the COVID-19 pandemic in the year between 2020-2022. The results of the literature review showed that MSME taxpayers gave a positive response to the convenience and benefits provided by e-filing system. On the other hand, there are still MSME taxpayers who do not understand the system’s operation, thus requiring further assistance and socialization from the tax authorities.

where good management practices on aquaculture are mandatory. The economic and ecological importance of prawns of the Genus Macrobrachium cause an impact at a global level involving economic, academic and social aspects. Macrobrachium americanum appears as one of the genus species with high nutritional value and an economic demand in the national and international markets, as well as a vital income for fisherman and producers of this species. For researchers, it is a challenge to find solutions to culture and propose conservation measures for M. americanum with emphasis on development, nutrition and reproduction. Although there are scientific studies supporting the economic importance of this species, our knowledge about its cultivation, reproduction and conservation is limited. This paper summarizes the latest studies made in cooperation with M. americanum in research lead by the Centro de Investigaciones Biológicas del Noroeste, Mexico. After several years of continuous research, it is considered that those efforts have produced useful information for the sustainable exploitation, conservation and basic management practices of this species.

The purpose of this placebo-controlled, double-blind study was to see how magnesium sulphate and clonidine affected perioperative hemodynamics, propofol consumption, and postoperative recovery. Ninety ASA I–II patients undergoing elective laparoscopic surgery were randomized into three groups. Group M Patients received Inj. magnesium sulphate (40mg/kg) in 20 ml saline infused over a period of 15 minutes before induction. Group C received Patients received Inj. Clonidine (3mcg/kg) before induction. The Group S (Control group) received 20ml normal saline over 15mind before induction. Propofol was used for induction of anaesthesia and for maintenance propofol infusion was used which was adjusted as per bispectral index along with intermittent fentanyl bolus and vecuronium as muscle relaxant According to type of data, different tests of statistical significance like Chi-square test, Kruskal Wallis test and one-way ANOVA were used. In the presence of magnesium sulphate and clonidine, propofol induction was rapid. The time it took for BIS to reach 60 was significantly shorter in groups M and C (P0.0001), and compared to clonidine and control group post-operative recovery was more delayed in magnesium sulphate group (P0.0001). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in heart rate or arterial blood pressure. Preoperative use of magnesium sulphate and clonidine resulted in significant reduction in propofol requirements for induction as well as for maintenance (P0.0001).To conclude use of magnesium sulphate caused delayed recovery and hypotension and bradycardia was observed with clonidine, but both can be used as adjuvants with caution.

Material and Methods: It was a prospective observational study carried in AICU over period of one year by Department of Ophthalmology, Dr. RPGMC Kangra at Tanda. All the patients who were admitted in AICU greater than 48 hours between ages of 18-65 years were included and evaluated for socio-demographic information like age, gender etc. Thorough ophthalmic examination was also done for eyelid position and eye discharge and analyzed using epi info v7 software. Results: A total of 126 patients were included in the study. Mean age of the study participants was 41.8 years. 64.3% of the patients were males while 35.7% were females. 26.2% of the right eyes had grade 3 eyelid positions at 48 hour, 67% at the end of first week, 64% at the end of second week and at the end of fourth and fifth week, none of the right eyes had grade 3 eyelid position. 24.6% of the left eyes had grade 3 eyelid positions at 48 hours 67% At the end of first week, 64% at the end of second week and At the end of fourth and fifth week, none of the left eyes had grade 3 eyelid position. Rate of mucopurulent discharge was 14.2% and 11.9% in right and left eyes respectively at 48 hours. At the end of first week, the rate of mucopurulent discharge was 59.2% in the right eyes and 63% in left eyes. At the end of second week, the rate of mucopurulent discharge was 18.2% and 36.4% in right and left eyes respectively. Three right eyes out of 5 eyes and one left eye out of 5 eyes showed mucopurulent discharge at the end of third week. At the end of fourth and fifth week, none of the eyes showed mucopurulent discharge Conclusion: Eye care which may include lubrication with eye drops, administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics, taping of eye lids and regular examination by ophthalmologists can markedly reduce eye related complications among AICU admitted patients.

The present study was done to compare theVisual Analog Scale (VAS) score between Thermal and Pulsed radiofrequency ablation in Ganglion Impar block for treatment of chronic pelvic pain in female patients. Material and Methods: The present study was prospective, randomized, single blinded study and was based on series of 30 patients presenting with chronic pelvic pain, having already failed conservative medical management, presenting in Pain clinic if IGMC Shimla. The patients were divided into 2 groups of 15 patients. Patients in Group A(n=15) were given thermal radiofrequency ablation where as patients in Group B were given pulsed radiofrequency ablation.Results: Mean Pre-procedural VAS score of the patients in Group A was 7.93 ± 0.704 where as mean Pre-procedure VAS score in patients of group B was 8.00 ± 0.655.( P =0.790).Mean 24 Hours Post Procedural VAS Score of the patients in Group A was 2.53 ± 0.516 where as mean 24 Hours Post Procedural VAS Score in patients of group B was 3.53 ± 0.640.( P= 0.000). Mean 1 week Post Procedural VAS Score of the patients in Group A was 2.60 ± 0.507 where as mean 1 week Post Procedural VAS Score in patients of group B was 3.40 ± 0.507. (P= 0.000) Mean 2 week Post Procedural VAS Score of the patients in Group A was 2.33 ± 0.507 where as mean 2 week Post Procedural VAS Score in patients of group B was 3.31 ± 0.564. (P=0.000) .Mean 3 week Post Procedural VAS Score of the patients in Group A was 2.31 ± 0.415 where as mean 3 week Post Procedural VAS Score in patients of group B was 3.29 ± 0.516.( P =0.000). Conclusion: Present study showed that mean Post Procedural VAS Score(24 Hours, 1,2 and 3 week) was significantly lower in group A as compared to group B. we can conclude that thermal radiofrequency ablation of ganglion impar for chronic pelvic pain produces prolonged pain free period in the patients as compared to patients who were treated with pulsed radio frequency ablation.

Percutaneous Laser Disc Decompression (PLDD) is a minimally invasive procedure for disc herniation that is known to be faster and effective. This retrospective study is analytic observational. The study was conducted at the Regional General Hospital Dr. Moewardi Surakarta. Subjects were patients who had PLDD from January 2020 to December 2020 with total sample of 30 respondents. Evaluation of the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) was performed before the PLDD action was carried out, 1 month, and 3 months after. The Macnab criteria was evaluated 3 months after the PLDD action. There was a significant difference in VAS between before and after PLDD, 1 month, and 3 months. There was a significant difference in the ODI score before and after 1 month and 3 months, but not in the ODI value after 1 month and 3 months. Twenty patients (66.7%) showed good good satisfaction following PLDD with Macnab criteria. The significant improvement in VAS of patients with lumbar disc herniation after PLDD were directly as a result of decreasing intradiscal pressure due to vaporization by laser energy, especially in the herniated area and tissue pressure. As the pain subsided, ODI scores in this patients would improve. PLDD in patients with intact lumbar disc herniation led to a significant improvement in VAS and ODI scores. PLDD can be used as an option in the management of patients with low back pain due to an intact lumbar disc herniation.
