Effect of Low-Temperature Storage on Chemical Composition and Antimicrobial Activity of Honey
Authors: Gruznov Dmitry , Gruznova Olga , Sokhlikov Alexey , Lobanov Anton
Published: July 2024

Natural honey can change its physicochemical and biological properties during storage. According to State Standard 19792-2017, honey should be stored at ≤ 20°C. Some publications promote long-term storage of honey at temperatures between 0 and –20°C that preserves its physicochemical parameters, especially the content of hydroxymethylfurfural. Promising as they seem, such temperature modes may affect other physicochemical parameters of honey. The research objective was to study the effect of different temperature conditions on various honey samples and their physicochemical and biological parameters during long-term storage. The study applied standard and authentic research methods to fresh linden, buckwheat, and sunflower honey samples obtained from Rostov, Volgograd, Kursk, Voronezh, Saratov, and Krasnodar regions. They were stored in heat, cold, and moisture test chambers M-60/100-500 for 12 months. Hydroxymethylfurfural proved stable at –18°C for 12 months. After 12 months at 18°C, it showed a sharp increase of 472.5–488.1%. The activity of enzymic diastase, D-glucose-1-oxidase, and catalase occurred at all temperature modes after 1 month of storage. At 0–5°C, the changes were minimal: hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) remained stable, and its concentration decreased by ≤ 12.2% after 12 months of storage. Moisture, mass fraction of reducing sugars, and acidity remained stable in all samples. An antimicrobial test by Escherichia coli (strain 1257), Staphylococcus aureus (strain 209-P), and Bacillus cereus (strain 96) showed that the best inhibiting properties belonged to the samples of linden and buckwheat honey stored at 5 and 0°C for 12 months. The optimal temperatures for long-term honey storage were in the range between 5 and 0°C. The results obtained can be used in updated honey storage standards.

Published: July 2024

Este trabalho objetiva descrever os condicionamentos linguísticos e sociais da variação entre formas alveolares e glotais de fricativa pós-vocálica /S/ na fala da cidade de São José de Mipibu, localizada no estado brasileiro do Rio Grande do Norte. A análise é fundamentada nos pressupostos teóricos da Sociolinguística (Weinreich, Labov; Herzog, 2006 [1968]; Labov, 2008 [1972]; 1994; 2001) e da Fonologia Autossegmental (Goldsmith, 1990), especificamente na Geometria de Traços (Clements; Hume, 1995). O conjunto de dados analisados é oriundo do projeto Descrição de Línguas Naturais – Português: formas variantes do arquifonema /S/ na fala dos potiguares Dados de realizações alveolares e glotais de /S/ foram submetidos a modelos de regressão logística construídos na plataforma R, a fim de explicitar as variáveis mais produtivas para análise do fenômeno. Os resultados demonstraram que a articulação glotal é favorecida diante de segmentos com traço [+soante], em posição de sílaba tônica e em sílaba final de palavra diante de consoante (padrão /V__#C/). Há, também, indícios de que a posteriorização pode ser mais produtiva na fala de indivíduos com mais baixos graus de escolarização, em conformidade com o que a literatura já identifica em outras comunidades.

Authors: Jorges Pugliesi Eduardo , Erenildo João Carlos
Published: July 2024

As imagens visuais têm ocupado os mais variados espaços no tempo presente, ao ponto que podemos afirmar que o século XXI são delas. Elas têm dominado as relações sociais, culturais e educacionais. A minha pesquisa sobre os livros didáticos de história, tem revelado um considerável aumento delas ao longo das páginas dos mesmos. Desta forma, discorro sobre como o ensino de história do Brasil – responsável pela construção da memória nacional vai sendo configurado em seus LDs e de que maneira os grandes acontecimentos da História do Brasil e seus respectivos “heróis” eternizados por meio das imagens visuais são usados para criar mitos no imaginário social como estátuas postas em praças públicas que servem de referencial imagético de um período ou acontecimento no qual tornam-se uma espécie de topoi.

PAISAGENS NA GEOGRAFIA DE ESTRABÃO:
Authors: Ribeiro Alaide Matias
Published: July 2024

A Geografia de Estrabão (I a.C.-I d.C.) é uma descrição do mundo afro eurasiático antigo. Dentre as corografias que compõem os quinze livros da obra é na última que observamos a descrição do que hoje denominamos como norte e nordeste da África e, especificamente, o relato sobre Alexandria. Dentre as abordagens que podem ser feitas na análise do texto, a espacial se destaca por dialogar com o foco temático da obra, isto é, o espaço geográfico. Destarte, consideramos que a instrumentalização de conceitos espaciais como “lugar”, de Yi-Fu Tuan (1983), e, particularmente, “paisagem”, de Tim Ingold (2000; 2015), pode ampliar a perspectiva sobre a fonte histórica. Portanto, abordamos o caso da cidade de Alexandria para apresentarmos como se efetiva a interpretação do texto a partir da paisagem.
PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Lugar; Paisagem; Estrabão; Geografia; Alexandria.

Model of performance indicators for the evaluation of state public health expenditures in Brazil
Authors: Crispim Gilberto , Alberton Luiz , Rodrigues Raimundo Nonato
Published: July 2024

Objective: To present a proposal on a set of performance indicators that can be used in audits of state audit courts to assess the effectiveness of budget spending on public health.
Methodology: This is quantitative research, with the application of statistical techniques related  to Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) in two stages and estimation of linear longitudinal regression models for strongly balanced short panel data,  on the budget expenditures made in the period from 2015 to 2019 by the States and the Federal District on public health.
Results: It was found that there is no use of performance indicators in the elaboration and execution of Multi-Annual Plans (MAPs) by governments to evaluate the effectiveness of spending on public actions; that the mention of "performance indicators" refers exclusively to percentages to compare what was accomplished in relation to what was predicted; that records of duplicate public actions were found in the MAPs by some entities,  and that overvaluation was identified in the records of the resources provided for in most of the MAPs. The degree of statistical explanation of the proposed set of indicators reached an average of 87% of statistical confidence. None of the public entities was 100% effective in the expenditures made. 69% of the auditors of the Courts of Auditors legitimized the set of indicators proposed to evaluate the effectiveness of state public health spending. Finally, it is concluded that the proposed performance evaluation indicators can be used to verify the effectiveness of state public health spending.
Contributions of the study: It presents performance indicators, created by means of a statistical method, to evaluate the effectiveness of spending on state public health, since the specialized literature indicates little or no discussion about it. It indicates that the actions included in the MAPs are not audited by the courts of auditors and that the legislative branch is silent in the supervision between what is foreseen and what is carried out, considering that there are repeated and overvalued actions.

Published: July 2024

Este artigo objetiva analisar as relações entre a compacidade de manchas urbanas e os padrões de abastecimento de água na área das cidades por meio do estudo das vazões mínimas para redes de distribuição. Neste sentido, buscou-se correlacionar estatisticamente parâmetros geométricos, demográficos e de oferta/distribuição de água em uma cidade, por meio de um estudo de caso na mancha urbana de Uberlândia/MG, uma típica cidade de médio porte brasileira. Por meio do software Google Earth Professional, foram determinados os contornos geométricos, os perímetros e as áreas de todos os bairros e zonas geográficas do município. Além disso, através de dados disponibilizados pela prefeitura municipal, foram determinadas as populações totais de cada bairro. Assim, determinou-se o índice de compacidade e a densidade populacional das unidades da mancha urbana. Além disso, com base na ABNT NBR 12211/1992, calculou-se o consumo médio de água e as vazões de abastecimento mínimas para cada bairro e suas respectivas zonas. Estes dados foram correlacionados e os resultados obtido foram especializados na forma de mapas temáticos. Observou-se que a vazão mínima de abastecimento de demanda é inversamente populacional à densidade demográfica, enquanto esta vazão é diretamente proporcional à população e ao índice de compacidade da mancha urbana

Authors: Tang Yiyin , Li Li , Wang Guoqin , Liu Dan , Yang Yinju , Yang Jinyan , Hua Lin , Li Ruilei , Ge Chunlei , Yao Hong , Li Ke
Published: July 2024

Background:

Spindle cell carcinoma (SCC) of the breast is a rare type of metaplastic carcinoma with poor prognosis, high recurrence, and distant metastasis. Mammectomy,
chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and endocrine therapy are the preferred choices of treatments.
Tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy, which utilizes the patient's immune cells from
the solid tumor micro-environment to eradicate cancer cells, has shown promising results in
treating advanced solid tumors. However, its use for SCC of the breast has not been reported.

Case Presentation:

Here, we present a case of combining TIL therapy with personalized
chemotherapy and endocrine therapy for the treatment of SCC of the breast. A 36-year-old
Chinese woman presented with a palpable nodule (32 mm) on her left breast. Based on histological and immunohistochemical analysis of breast biopsy and surgical specimens, she was
diagnosed with SCC of the breast (stage IIA). The patient received concurrent personalized
chemotherapy, TIL therapy, and endocrine therapy following mammectomy. She showed no
severe side effects during therapy, and did not present local recurrence or distant metastasis after follow-up for at least 14 months

Conclusion:

To our knowledge, this is the first case report, which demonstrated that TIL therapy combined with chemotherapy/endocrine therapy after mastectomy is safe and effective for
SCC of the breast.

Published: July 2024

Introduction:

Recently, there has been a notable increase in interest in various forms
of vegetarianism, which may be due to the growing prevalence of health issues, such as Type 2
Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Adhering to a vegan diet may have positive health outcomes. As a
result, we conducted a review article to gather data from previous research studies on the effects
of a vegan diet on different aspects of managing patients with T2DM.

Methods:

We searched the PubMed website for research studies on how a vegan diet affects the
outcomes of patients with T2DM. The research studies were categorized according to the type
of data collected, such as prevalence, incidence, body weight, insulin resistance, glycemic control,
and lipid profile.

Results:

It was found that following a vegetarian diet can significantly reduce the risk of mortality
from heart disease. Additionally, studies have demonstrated that a vegetarian diet is linked
to several improvements in T2DM. However, long-term weight loss plans and managing T2DM
is a comprehensive intervention that includes caloric restriction, exercise, and behavioral modification.

Conclusion:

Incorporating a vegan diet can be a valuable factor to consider in managing
T2DM, as it can offer numerous benefits, such as increased insulin sensitivity, weight loss, and
reduced blood sugar levels. It helps to reduce cholesterol levels, LDL, and triglyceride levels,
which are all risk factors associated with T2DM. By reducing these risk factors, the vegan diet
can improve the overall health of T2DM patients.
Collaborative Planning and Comprehensive Evaluation Method for Energy Storage System and Flexible Interconnection in Distribution Networks
Considering Island Operation
Authors: Bai Hao , Fu Yu , Ouyang Guangze , Cai Yongxiang , Zhang Song , Miao Yu , Yang Weichen , Xu Min
Published: July 2024

Introduction:

When the superior power grid fails and loses power, due to the traditional
single power supply radial grid structure of low-voltage substation areas, all loads in the lowvoltage
substation area will lose power, causing a poor electricity consumption experience for
low-voltage users. To enhance the resilience of low-voltage distribution areas against faults and
power outages from higher-tier power grids, a collaborative planning and comprehensive evaluation
method for grid-forming energy storage systems (GFM-ESS) and flexible interconnection in
distribution networks, considering island operation, is proposed.

Method:

This method integrates GFM-ESS and flexible interconnections, taking islanding operations
into account. Firstly, the structure of GFM-ESS and voltage source converters is analyzed.
The control modes of GFM-ESS in parallel or off-grid scenarios are also scrutinized. Secondly,
minimizing the annual comprehensive cost and the annual power outage load are the objective
functions. A bilevel programming model for GFM-ESS and flexible interconnection of lowvoltage
distribution networks, considering island operation, has been established. Moreover, a
comprehensive evaluation method based on the analytic hierarchy process for proposed lowvoltage
distribution network structural schemes is introduced. An evaluation index system is established
to assess the rationality of these proposed network structural planning schemes. Finally,
the superiority of the proposed collaborative planning method is verified through a comparative
analysis of three planning methods.

Result:

The proposed collaborative planning method can effectively ensure the continuous power
supply of low-voltage distribution networks under the fault scenario of the upper power network.

Conclusion:

Moreover, the rationality of the results obtained from the proposed collaborative
planning method is verified through a comprehensive evaluation method of grid structure schemes
based on the analytic hierarchy process. The proposed comprehensive evaluation method can determine
which two areas are optimal for grid planning.

result:

The superiority of the proposed collaborative planning method was verified by comparative analysis of three planning methods. And the rationality of the proposed collaborative planning method results was verified by the comprehensive evaluation method of grid structure schemes based on analytic hierarchy process.

Published: July 2024

Due to its antibacterial activity against clinical bacterial pathogens at the time of tissue development, zinc oxide (ZnO) is considered one of the most important metal oxide nanostructured materials. In this study, ZnO nanostructures were prepared using Aloe vera gel juice, which is easy, inexpensive, and ecofriendly. The nanostructures of ZnO were characterized using a variety of analytical techniques, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and dynamic light scattering (DLS). As a result of the XRD study, the hexagonal phase of ZnO with the structure of wurtzite has been identified. ZnO material with high heterogeneity morphology has been observed by SEM analysis. As-prepared ZnO nanostructures were tested for their antibacterial activity against the newly discovered pathogen of catfish. A ZnO sample prepared with a high concentration of Aloe vera gel possessed an inhibition zone of 13.21±0.04 mm, whereas a ZnO sample prepared with a low concentration of Aloe vera juice had an inhibition zone of 6.23±0.02 mm and a pure ZnO sample had an inhibition zone of 3.31±0.03 mm. Furthermore, we examined the effectiveness of the ZnO nanostructures on bacterial strains based on the type of nanoparticles applied to the commercial strains. In addition to their modified surface properties, small particle size, and highly toxic effects for the killingof bacterial cell growth, the Aloe vera juice assisted ZnO nanostructures demonstrated excellent antibacterial activity against the catfish pathogens.

Published: July 2024

Classroom Action Research (CAR) is a research type conducted within the classroom environment to enhance the learning process. Nevertheless, many school teachers encounter obstacles primarily due to insufficient knowledge about research methodology and statistical analysis, which support CAR. To maximize data potential in education, SMA Negeri 1 Krembung recognizes the importance of enhancing teachers' statistical and data science-based analysis skills. To achieve this, the Department of Statistics at Universitas Brawijaya collaborates in organizing community service through training to empower the educational community at SMA Negeri 1 Krembung. To assess the community service program's effectiveness, pre-test and post-test analyses were carried out using the t-test. By applying the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test hypothesis, a significant difference was identified in statistical and data science-based analysis skills before and after the community service program implementation. The ability to analyze based on statistics and data science has improved, evident from the post-test mean rank value surpassing the pre-test mean rank value (11.08 > 6.33). Consequently, it can be concluded that repeating training activities is essential to enhance statistical and data science-based analysis skills in the big data era and to provide a deeper understanding of Classroom Action Research.

Healthcare Social Robots in the Age of Generative AI: Protocol for a Scoping Review (Preprint)
Authors: Lempe Paul Notger , Guinemer Camille , Fürstenau Daniel , Dressler Corinna , Balzer Felix , Schaaf Thorsten
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND

Social Robots (SR), sensorimotor machines designed to interact with humans, can help to respond to the increasing demands in the health care sector (HCS). To ensure a successful use of this technology, acceptance is paramount. Generative Artificial Intelligence (Generative AI) is an emerging technology with the potential to enhance the functionality of SR and promote user acceptance by further improving Human-Robot Interaction.

OBJECTIVE

We present a protocol for a Scoping Review of literature on the implementation of Generative AI in SR in the HCS. The aim of this Scoping Review is to map out the intersection of SR and Generative AI in the HCS; to explore if Generative AI is applied in SR in the HCS; to outline which models of Generative AI and SR are used for these implementations; and to explore whether user acceptance is reported as an outcome following these implementations. This Scoping Review supports future research by providing an overview of the state of connectedness of two emerging technologies, SR and Generative AI, and by mapping out potential research gaps

METHODS

For this review, we follow the methodological framework developed by Arksey and O'Malley and the recommendations by the Joanna Briggs Institute. Our protocol was drafted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). We will conduct a systematic literature search of the online databases Medline, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, and IEEE Xplore, aiming to retrieve relevant data items via tabular data charting from references meeting specific inclusion criteria. Results will be collated, categorized, summarized by clustering similar publications by classifying the collected data items. The findings will be presented through a series of adequate tables, graphs, visual representations, and corresponding narrative summaries.

RESULTS

After conducting a preliminary search and de-duplication, we retrieved 3176 preliminary results. This Scoping Review will be supplemented with the next methodological steps, including retrieving the results in a reference management tool as well as screening titles, abstracts, and full text regarding specific inclusion criteria.

CONCLUSIONS

The conducted preliminary search implies that there is a sufficient number of heterogenous references to complete this Scoping Review. To our knowledge, this is the first Scoping Review on the implementation of Generative AI in Healthcare SR.

UNSTRUCTURED

Due to the complicated nature of Parkinson’s Disease (PD), a number of subjective considerations (e.g., staging schemes, clinical assessment tools, or questionnaires) on how best to assess clinical deficits and monitor clinical progression have been published; however, none of these considerations include a comprehensively objective assessment of all functional areas of neurocognition affected by PD (e.g., motor, memory, speech, language, executive function, autonomic function, sensory, behavior, and sleep). This systematic review analyzes the increasing use of digital health technology (e.g., smartphones, tablets, and wearable devices) for the classification, staging, and monitoring of PD. Further, this review proposes a foundation for a new staging schema that builds from multiple clinically implemented scales (e.g., the Hoehn and Yahr Scale, and the Berg Balance Scale) for ease and homogeneity, while implementing digital health technology to expand current staging protocols such that they encompass an objective, symptom-specific assessment of all functional areas of neurocognition via inherent device capabilities (e.g., device sensors and human device interactions). As individuals with PD may manifest different symptoms at different times across the spectrum of neurocognition, the modernization of assessments that include objective, symptom-specific monitoring is imperative for personalized medicine and maintaining individual quality of life.

Authors: Chien Shih-Ying , Hu Han-Chung , Cho Hsiu-Ying
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND

Digital health adoption in clinical practice has been widespread, yet there remains further potential for optimizing care specifically for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study therefore conducted qualitative research involving 35 health care professionals from a range of hospitals in Taiwan.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to investigate barriers and facilitators related to the implementation of digital health technology (DHT) in the long-term monitoring of individuals with COPD based on clinical experiences in Taiwan. The perspectives of Taiwanese health care professionals provided valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with using DHT for the management and enhancement of respiratory rehabilitation and long-term monitoring of patients with COPD.

METHODS

Several key themes related to the development of DHT were identified. Barriers encompassed concerns pertaining to digital safety, insurance coverage, constraints related to medical resources, and the presence of a digital divide. Facilitators included the potential for cost reduction, personalized prescriptions, and instilling motivation in users.

RESULTS

To enhance the acceptance and use of DHT, embracing a user-centered approach that prioritizes the distinct needs of all parties involved is recommended. Moreover, optimizing and leveraging the effective use of DHT in managing the health of individuals with COPD promises to deliver care characterized by greater precision and efficiency.

CONCLUSIONS

Overall, the benefits of using DHT for the long-term care of patients with COPD outweigh the disadvantages. After the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an increased emphasis in Taiwan on the effectiveness of DHT in managing chronic diseases. Relevant studies including this paper have suggested that web-based exercise management systems could benefit patients with COPD in rehabilitation and tracking. Our findings provide meaningful directions for future research endeavors and practical implementation. By addressing identified barriers and capitalizing on facilitators, advancements can be made in the development and use of DHT, especially in overcoming challenges such as information security and operational methods. The implementation of the recommended strategies will likely lead to improved COPD care outcomes.

BACKGROUND

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are genetically mediated life-threatening reactions that in adults are usually caused by a medication. These genetic associations promise an opportunity for pre-prescription screening and prevention. However, the study of genetic risk and long-term sequelae of SJS/TEN across racially diverse populations has been hampered by many factors that include its rarity, social disparities, and trust in healthcare and providers, which impact access to hospital and clinic-based research studies.

OBJECTIVE

To explore the utility of multiple social media and web-based search tools with the goal of increasing numbers, diversity, and inclusivity of study enrollment.

METHODS

The SJS survivor study is a community-based retrospective cohort study which remotely recruits drug-induced SJS/TEN survivors in the United States to help determine genetic risk and long-term outcomes. Baseline recruitment included advertisements on the SJS Foundation website and American Burn Association newsletter. Social media ads were later introduced by Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) Facebook and Instagram accounts, where posts were created using flyers and 60-second SJS/TEN survivor video vignettes. Finally, a national Google Ad campaign was launched. We measured the change in registration of both study interest and effectiveness of implementation of specific social media and web-based search tools before and after their implementation.

RESULTS

Since the introduction of social media and Google Ads in March 2022, we report a 48.6% increase in enrollment overall and a 289.5% increase in participation interest. We noticed the ads were inclusive to all age groups and saw a more even age distribution of enrolled participants from 18 through 74 years old was seen, with an average of 15% enrolled into each age category. The most significant increase in both enrollment and diversity of responses came from Google Ads with a total of 201 expressions of interest, 33% of which self-identified as non-White and 56 participants enrolled.

CONCLUSIONS

Social media and web-based search tools differ in their enrollment effectiveness. In this community-based study, social media and web-based strategies increased numbers, diversity, and inclusion of enrollment and show promise as tools to increase both diversity and enrollment in rare diseases such as SJS/TEN.

Authors: Dai Jiaqi , Gao Guangkuo
Published: July 2024

As the new round of technological revolution continues to evolve, computing power is progressively emerging as the "new qualitative productive force" in the era of digital economy; AI computing power, being the core component of computing power, has consequently garnered extensive attention. This study examines the impact of sci-tech finance on the technological innovation of AI computing power enterprises, the mechanism of action, and the role of financial regulation, using data from Chinese A-share listed AI computing power enterprises from 2014 to 2022. The findings are as follows: Firstly, the development of sci-tech finance significantly enhances the technological innovation capacity of AI computing power enterprises. Secondly, the alleviation of financing constraints partially mediates this effect. Thirdly, overall financial regulation exerts a negative regulatory effect on the relationship between sci-tech finance and technological innovation; specifically, financial regulation in the eastern region has a negative regulatory role, whereas in the non-eastern regions, it exhibits a positive regulatory role. These research conclusions hold certain implications and reference value for enhancing the sci-tech finance system, fostering the development of the computing power industry, and reforming the regulatory system.

Published: July 2024

Abstract: Nowadays, judging the current transaction based on user history transactions is an important detection method. However, different users have different transaction behaviors, when all users use the same limit to judge whether the transaction is abnormal, it will result in higher misjudgment for some users. Aiming at the above problems, this paper proposes an individual behavior transaction detection method based on hypersphere model. In this model, considering multiple dimensions of normal historical transaction records, the characteristics of user’s transaction behavior is generated with the trend of transaction. Then, the user optimal risk threshold algorithm is proposed to determine the optimal risk threshold for each user. Finally combining the transaction behavior and the optimal risk threshold, the user behavior benchmark is formed, which is used to construct the multidimensional hypersphere model. On this basis, a mapping method for transforming transaction detection into midpoint in multidimensional space is proposed. The experiment proves that the proposed method is superior to other models, and it is found that the characterization effect of user behavior is related to the frequency of users’ transactions.

Pengukuran half cell potential sering digunakan untuk menilai daya tahan beton bertulang di mana korosi tulangan diperkirakan terjadi. Standar yang digunakan dalam pengujian adalah ASTM C876-91: Standard Test Method for half-Cell Potential of Uncoated Reinforcing Steel in Concrete dan ACI 222R-01: Protection of Metal in Concrete Againts Corrosion. Perlu diketahui tentang karbonasi tulangan pada beton yang disebabkan oleh reaksi kimia eksternal antara kalsium dalam beton. Pengaruh garam sulfat yang menyebabkan pemuaian volume beton, sehingga beton terkompresi dan retak. Hasil pengujian struktur beton bertulang gedung kantor di pinggir pantai Ancol, dapat disimpulkan bahwa kondisi beton eksisting secara umum mengalami karbonasi yang terjadi melebihi selimut beton. Data hasil pengujian Half Cell Potential 1, 2, 6, 8, 9, dan 10 terlihat tingkat korosi tulangan di dalam beton berada < 10% dengan tipe kondisi 3 yaitu “humid, chloride free concrete”, yaitu kondisi beton dalam keadaan lembab dan tidak terkontaminasi klorida yang artinya tingkat korosi tulangan baja di dalam beton cukup rendah. Hasil pengujian half cell potential 3, 4, 5, dan 7 terlihat tingkat korosi tulangan antara 10% - 90% dengan tipe kondisi 4 yaitu “humid, carbonated concrete”, yaitu kondisi beton dalam keadaan lembab dan telah terkarbonasi namun tingkat korosi tidak terlalu tinggi.

The efficiency of using logging machines on a steep slope depends on many factors, including the working area of the manipulator, which can be implemented in various technological modes of operation. The geometric parameters of the implemented working area are determined by the working position of the machine in the appropriate technological mode, that is, the place of installation of the machine relative to the tree or group of trees to be harvested. Optimization of the manipulator’s working area, formed during the operation of a logging machine, is one of the most effective ways to increase its productivity. In this article, based on a previously developed mathematical model for optimizing the structural dimensions of the links of a four-link articulated hydraulic manipulator designed for spatial manipulation of the harvester head when cutting and stacking trees for further transportation to the loading area, an analysis of the influence of the main geometric and power characteristics of the harvester on the optimal size of the working area is performed.
