Suspending Nuclearity
Authors: Kumaki Hiroko
Published: November 2022

In the wake of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident in 2011, radiation and its potential health effects have become a central concern, shaping debates on the nuclearity of Fukushima. However, residents living in the former evacuation zone often challenged the centrality of nuclearity to their experiences of the nuclear fallout. Taking seriously their efforts to move beyond nuclearity, this article elucidates their varied concerns for the ways in which social and ecological relations—or what I call “ecologics”—have been rearranged after the fallout in the name of their biological and economic well-being. By challenging practices that imposed market logics of containment and equivalence on their living environment, these residents enacted alternatives cultivating socioecological relations that facilitated trust and care in their communities. I argue that residents negotiated partial boundaries not only against radiation but also against socioecological arrangements that tore apart their relationships of mutual support and further reappropriated their land for political economic projects. 

要旨

東京電力福島第一原子力発電所事故後の被災地での生活は、放射性物質による汚染と健康への影響を中心に議論されてきた。本論文では、福島県の避難指示解除区域で行った参与観察やインタビューをもとに、帰還した住民の原発事故後の考え方を考察した。その結果、住民の多くが、地域に降り注いだ放射性物質に注意を向けているだけでなく、これまで暮らしてきた土地や自然、人との関わり(ecologics)の中で現状に合ったより良い生活を模索していることが分かった。また、放射性物質による汚染に着目した外部からの関わりにより、原発事故の被害が明らかになり、責任を追求することが可能となった一方で、図らずも、開発主義が助長され、その土地に根差した生き方が疎外されてしまう側面をも持っていることを示した。公害、災害、環境破壊などの研究や政策においては、「被害」や「汚染」を検証する科学的・医学的視点だけでなく、ecologicsの概念を導入することで、住民がその土地やコミュニティとの関わりを再構築する過程で、健康を守りながらより良い生活を実現していく方法を見出せることが期待できる。
Corporations and States
Authors: Hull Matthew
Published: November 2022

In 2013, the Indian state of Punjab contracted with a corporation to operate a new police phone helpline. The corporation not only takes complaints but also monitors, directs, and reports police responses to them and conducts satisfaction surveys. This essay explores the tensions and effects of using American techniques of corporate customer service to promote procedural law enforcement within police practices in India. It examines the ideological, procedural, communicational, and technological practices through which police procedure is combined with corporate customer service. Moving beyond a concern with privatization and the distinction between state and non-state, the article uses the metaphor of the human microbiome to reconceptualize how to understand the involvement of outside actors within state operations.

Для повышения безопасности и эффективности отработки полетных заданий необходима достоверная информация о высотно-скоростных параметрах воздушного судна (ВС). В связи с этим задача изучения особенностей и совершенствования характеристик существующих измерителей данных параметров является вполне актуальной. Цель исследования. Рассматривается задача оценки различия показаний истинной воздушной скорости ВС механическим указателем и системой воздушных сигналов (СВС). Материалы и методы. Проанализированы методы измерения истинной воздушной скорости, применяемые на современных ВС. Установлено, что, несмотря на наличие новейших разработок, СВС, работающая в комплекте с приемниками воздушных давлений и температуры торможения, а также и датчиками углов атаки и скольжения, является в настоящее время наиболее распространенным измерителем истинной воздушной скорости. Используются также и механические указатели, включаемые в состав комбинированных указателей скорости (КУС). В соответствии с физикой явлений, имеющих место при полете, для вычисления истинной воздушной скорости необходимо знать температуру воздуха на высоте полета. В СВС эта температура определяется по измеряемой температуре торможения. В составе КУСов нет никаких измерителей температуры, в их конструкцию закладывается зависимость температуры от давления, имеющая место для международной стандартной атмосферы. Понятно, что это приводит к появлению методической погрешности измерения. Результаты. Получена формула, позволяющая определять различие показаний механического указателя и СВС. Показано, что данная разность является функцией температуры торможения (температуры наружного воздуха), полного и статического давлений на высоте полета Проведены численные исследования, позволяющие оценить количественное расхождение показаний. Установлено, что разность показаний может достигать в эксплуатационных условиях несколько десятков м/с, что достаточно значимо. Заключение. Полученные результаты могут быть использованы при эксплуатации ВС, а также и при совершенствовании алгоритмического обеспечения бортовой цифровой вычислительной системы, являющейся центральным звеном пилотажно-навигационного комплекса.

В проведенных ранее исследованиях было установлено, что задача управления диагностикой является важной и необходимой, при этом для её решения требуются новые эффективные методы, позволяющие с высокой точностью относить объекты к тому или иному классу вне зависимости от их внутренней составляющей. При этом выдвигаются основные требования к диагностическим системам. Цель исследования. Целью данной работы является построение модификаций алгоритмов метода комитетов для решения задачи распознавания образов, а также их иллюстрация на конкретном примере диагностики сторожевых головных болей при инсульте от других. Материалы и методы. Модификация алгоритмов метода комитетов производится на основе представления системы неравенств в полярной форме при использовании алгоритма построения минимального комитета исходной системы. Показывается эффективность конечно-шаговых алгоритмов, основанных на понижении размерности исходной задачи, в том числе метод проектирования на плоскость. Достоинством этого метода является его малая вычислительная сложность, а также содержание минимального числа членов комитета системы неравенств. Результаты. Модификации алгоритмов метода комитетов применяются для конкретной задачи диагностики головных болей, при этом метод оказывается эффективным, о чём говорят низкие ошибки распознавания первого и второго рода на тестовой выборке. Также делается вывод, что задача диагностики имеет общую структуру во всех областях, в том числе технической, экономической, психологической, криминалистической, в связи с чем предложенные алгоритмы могут быть применены и для указанного ряда задач. Также возможность применения метода комитетов как некоторого ансамбля методов, на основе которого возможно создание автоматизированной системы управления диагностикой. Заключение. Полученные результаты позволяют утверждать, что использование модифицированных алгоритмов метода комитетов позволяет осуществлять эффективное управление диагностикой головных болей.

Published: November 2022

Environmental degradations are generally caused by two factors: natural occurrences and human interference. One of the environmental damage is the occurrence of abrasion along the coast. This study aims to describe the factors that need to be considered to overcome coastal abrasion in the Merauke Regency area. The research was conducted in Merauke Regency using primary and secondary data which were then presented in a descriptive qualitative manner. The results of this study indicate that the level of coastal abrasion in Merauke Regency is of great concern. Abrasion not only causes damage to nature but also causes damage to other public facilities such as roads and public housing. To prevent the spread of abrasion, factors supporting prevention efforts are required, including economic, ecological, social, political, and cultural factors. Some of these factors are expected to be a source of concern for decision-makers to make environmental policies to overcome abrasion in Merauke Regency.

Automatic Segmentation of Insurance Rating Classes Under Ordinal Constraints via Group Fused Lasso
Authors: Takahashi Atsumori , Nomura Shunichi
Published: November 2022

This paper proposes a sparse regularization technique for ratemaking under practical constraints. In tariff analysis of general insurance, rating factors with many categories are often grouped into a smaller number of classes to obtain reliable estimate of expected claim cost and make the tariff simple to reference. However, the number of rating-class segmentation combinations is often very large, making it computationally impossible to compare all the possible segmentations. In such cases, an L1 regularization method called the fused lasso is useful for integrating adjacent classes with similar risk levels in its inference process. Particularly, an extension of the fused lasso, known as the group fused lasso, enables consistent segmentation in estimating expected claim frequency and expected claim severity using generalized linear models. In this study, we enhance the group fused lasso by imposing ordinal constraints between the adjacent classes. Such constraints are often required in practice based on bonus–malus systems and actuarial insight on risk factors. We also propose an inference algorithm that uses the alternating direction method of multipliers. We apply the proposed method to motorcycle insurance claim data, and demonstrate how some adjacent categories are grouped into clusters with approximately homogeneous levels of expected claim frequency and severity.
Forward Guidance Effectiveness in a New Keynesian Model with Housing Frictions
Authors: Cole Stephen J. , Huh Sungjun
Published: November 2022

Housing markets are closely related to monetary policy. This paper studies the link between housing frictions and the effectiveness of forward guidance. A housing collateral constraint and forward guidance shocks are incorporated into a standard medium-scale New Keynesian Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) model. Our main results produce a number of important implications. First, financial frictions emanating from the housing market dampen the effectiveness of forward guidance on the economy. Second, forward guidance shocks generate welfare gains, though the magnitude of these gains declines when housing frictions increase. Housing frictions also attenuate the effect of forward guidance at the zero lower bound. Finally, this article provides a solution to “forward guidance puzzle” of Del Negro, M., M. P. Giannoni, and C. Patterson (2012. “The Forward Guidance Puzzle.” In FRB of New York Staff Report, 574). Thus, policymakers should consider housing frictions when examining the effects of forward guidance on the economy.
An economic and technological analysis of hybrid photovoltaic/wind turbine/battery renewable energy system with the highest self-sustainability
Authors: Hassan Qusay , Jaszczur Marek , Abdulrahman Imad Saeed , Salman Hayder M.
Published: November 2022

This research established the technoeconomic feasibility of an on-grid hybrid renewable energy system for delivering electricity to the deanery building of the Engineering College at the University of Diyala, Iraq. The most cost-effective system design was discovered by modeling and optimization, with an average daily load of 25.0 kWh and total cost and energy cost of $5142 and $0.05/kWh, respectively. In relation to the energy generated by conventional resources, the designed system is more cost-effective and has a lower carbon footprint of about 13,052 kg/year of CO2 emissions avoided. According to the research, using a hybrid power system to electrify and decarbonize the electrical energy supply could be a reliable and economical way to do both at the same time. Innovation is in integrating the suggested hybrid system so that the use of electricity can effectively be decreased to meet the load. As a result, the system components are not oversized, which reduces system costs and reduces emissions.
Alienation and Aliens: A Comparative Study of Narratives of Abduction in Historical African and UFO Experiences
Authors: Rose Dell J.
Published: November 2022

This article examines the racial dimensions of UFO abduction narratives by comparing the structural elements of these narratives with historical accounts of African enslavement. It is suggested that UFO abduction narratives from White Americans, which make up an overwhelming majority of such accounts, comes from collective feelings of widespread culpability for the enslavement and profiting from African persons. It is suggested that the UFO abduction experience is a way to overcome such pervasive feelings of guilt by establishing a new power dynamic that reverses the roles of victim and victimizer and mirrors closely historical accounts of abduction. Furthermore, it seeks to add to the discourse surrounding race and the conception of the extraterrestrial.

The arch-grammar of the representation of lifeworldin the Indian collectionOcean of the Streams of Story
Authors: Čechová Mariana , Klimková Simona
Published: November 2022

The study focuses on plot motifs in ancient Indian narratives. It seeks to clarify the fundamental principles and world structure depicted in them, with a special emphasis on the value axis “life superficit – life deficit”. In some respects, it differs radically from the Euro-American model, as implied by comparable literary works of Western provenance. The comparative analysis will not deal with generic, but only typological connections. The paper also considers the fact that there are no direct genealogical equivalences between the compared narratives.
Äsopische Fabeln und Pañcatantra bei altajischen Völkern und Nivchen
Authors: Knüppel Michael
Published: November 2022

Von einer lamutischen (ėwenischen) Fassung der Fabel Der Wanderfrosch als Beispiel ausgehend, befasst sich dieser Beitrag mit äsopischen Fabeln, die als Übersetzungen auch in den altajischen und sogenannten paläosibirischen Sprachen überliefert sind. Es erweist sich, dass es sich im Falle der Beispielfabel um eine jüngere Übernahme auf Grundlage der literarischen Bearbeitung des Stoffes durch Vsevolod Michajlovič Garšin (1855–1888) handelt. Der Beitrag setzt sich mit der Frage nach Garšins Vorlage auseinander und befasst sich zudem mit anderen Ausprägungen des Motivs von Vögeln, die ein flugunfähiges Tier durch die Lüfte tragen (und dann absichtlich, versehentlich oder durch dessen Verschulden zu Boden fallen lassen), in Zentral- und Nordasien (etwa im Kacchapa Jātaka und im Pañcatantra).
Application of third-order nonlinear optical materials in complex crystalline chemical reactions of borates
Authors: Sun Zhenjie
Published: November 2022

In order to explore the application of third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) materials in complex borate crystalline chemical reactions, the laser light source with limited wavelength range can be extended to ultraviolet (UV) and deep UV region by using NLO crystal materials and frequency conversion technology, which has become a hot research direction of deep UV light source. The experimental results show that the UV cutoff edge of the grown KLi(HC3N3O3)·2H2O crystal is 237 nm. The refractive index of the crystal was measured by prism coupling technique, and the Sellmeier equation of the refractive index of the crystal was fitted. The chemical bond of the crystal is a fundamental means to understand the relationship between structure and properties. With the emergence of a large number of hybrid functional crystals, the composition and structure of crystals become more complex, and the chemical bond theory has also been greatly developed, and then the chemical bond theory of meta crystals or complex crystals has emerged. Once proposed, the theory has been widely used, such as analyzing the eligibility of luminescent crystals, NLO crystals and high-temperature superconductor crystals. NLO materials are the dominant field of China in the world. Crystals with good nonlinear behavior have more complex crystal structures, due to the theory of amorphous structure, the exploration of this aspect is particularly difficult. For the first time, the influence of the composition of rare earth-doped bismuth borate glass on the crystal precipitation and glass microstructure of NLO materials was systematically studied, which laid a theoretical foundation for further development and understanding of new bismuth borate optical systems.

Authors: Wang Yu , Huang Jun , Ma Pu , Guo Lifang , Zhao Hui , Zhai Huamin , Ren Hao
Published: November 2022

Improving the retention and drainage aid performance of high speed papermaking processes is an important and challenging issue. In this study, fiber modification was used to improve the papermaking retention and drainage aid performance. The graft copolymerization of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) with cellulose fibers was initiated using Fe2+-thiourea dioxide(TDO)-H2O2 in a mild aqueous medium; the synthesized polyglycidyl methacrylate grafted cellulose (CPGMA) was used to replace softwood bleached kraft pulp(SBKP) and hardwood bleached kraft pulp(HBKP), to study their retention and drainage aid behavior in the cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM)/colloidal SiO2/ anionic polyacrylamide (APAM) system. Graft copolymerization significantly enhanced the fiber hydrophobicity. Additionally, the papermaking process drainage aid performance and retention rate of the filler increased significantly with an increase in the CPGMA substitution rate. A small amount of CPGMA (0.5 %) significantly improved the dewatering ability and some improved the retention performance of the wet end of papermaking. SBKP-polyglycidyl methacrylate grafted cellulose (S-CPGMA) exhibited better retention and drainage aid performance than HBKP-polyglycidyl methacrylate grafted cellulose (H-CPGMA). Thus, introducing Fe2+-thiourea dioxide(TDO)-H2O2 initiated graft copolymerized S-CPGMA (in mild aqueous media) into pulp could improve the retention and drainage aid performance of the wet part of paper production.

Published: November 2022

Nickel(ii) oxide-graphitic carbon nitride (n-NiO@g-C3N4) nanocomposite, in which nickel oxide nanoparticles (n-NiO) are anchored on the polymeric surface of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), was synthesized using the pulsed laser post processing (PLPP) in liquid medium. In the PLPP method, the precursors (NiO and g-C3N4) were simultaneously subjected to pulsed laser-induced fragmentation, and pulsed laser-induced defect engineering (anchoring of NiO on g-C3N4). To optimize the functionality of the material, n-NiO@g-C3N4 with four different mass contents of n-NiO was synthesized. The synthesized n-NiO@g-C3N4 nanocomposite and its composite partners (n-NiO and g-C3N4) were structurally, morphologically, elementally characterized by X-ray diffraction, filed emission scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses. As a first anti-microbial application, n-NiO@g-C3N4 was used to evaluate the minimal inhibitory concentration and minimal bactericidal concentration against the gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria. As a second anti-microbial application, the efficacy of n-NiO@g-C3N4 nanocomposite to retard S. aureus and P. aeruginosa biofilms’ growth was evaluated. It was found that for both applications, n-NiO@g-C3N4 nanocomposite exhibited an excellent anti-bacterial activity compared to pure g-C3N4.
Association between plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) and strokes: A meta-analysis
Authors: Li Hang , Shu Lingfeng , Dai Qinghai , Wu Tao
Published: November 2022

Objective

Inconsistent findings have been reported regarding the association between elevated plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) and the risk of different types of strokes. We conducted this meta-analysis to identify the association between tHcy and different kinds of strokes or recurrences of strokes, and provide evidence for preventing.

Methods

Relevant studies published before May 1, 2022 in databases such as PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, and Wanfang were retrieved. Two researchers independently searched and extracted the data, and used Stata 16.0 statistical software for analysis. Results were presented as the odds risk (OR) and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI).

Results

In total, 24 articles were included, involving 51,426 subjects, of which 4,983 had stroke events during follow-up. Relative to lower tHcy, higher tHcy were associated with increased stroke (OR = 1.95, 95% CI: 1.59–2.37), ischemic stroke (OR = 1.71, 95% CI: 1.39–2.11), hemorrhagic stroke (OR = 1.99, 95% CI: 1.03–3.84), and recurrent stroke (OR = 1.25, 95% CI: 1.12–1.39), respectively.

Conclusions

This study shows that elevated tHcy increases the risk of stroke, including ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke, and is closely related to the recurrence of stroke. It is recommended to pay attention to the detection of tHcy in the management of stroke patients in the future, and take effective measures to prevent and delay the progression of stroke.

Published: November 2022

An anthelmintic, rafoxanide (RF), is frequently used in veterinary medicine to cure fascioliasis in cattle and sheep. A sensitive, quick, and selective detection of RF in its pharmaceutical preparation and in human urine was achieved through developing a new electrochemical sensor. The suggested method relied on the electro-oxidation of RF that used a modified carbon paste electrode in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate, which acts as an anionic surfactant. Voltammetric types were utilized in RF analysis, and these methods were cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse techniques. The suggested electro-analytical method’s validity is verified using the International Council on Harmonization (ICH/Q2) rules. The calibration curve for RF quantification was done in the concentration range from 2.9 × 10−6 to 3.1 × 10−4 M at cadmium sulfide modified carbon paste electrode. The limit of detection and the limit of quantification LOQ were found to be 6.7 × 10−7 M and 2.01 × 10−6 M, respectively. This study could be applied to the examined drug in QC-laboratory units, and also RF could be assayed in its pharmacokinetic studies.
The Effect of Ownership Structure on the Value of a Private Company
Authors: Van den Cruijce Johan , Baffert II Gamble , Janssens de Bisthoven Nicolas , Tistaert Jurgen
Published: November 2022

The value of an unlisted company is a contentious issue. This is because investors value marketability and liquidity, but vacillate on the appropriate percentage discount that needs to be applied for the valuation of a private company. As more companies find it easier to remain private, a better understanding of this discount is increasingly important. The extant discount studies are mainly derived from financial and transactional data. They provide reliable averages using large sample sizes, but present few determinants to explain the wide ranges in the observations. Our research is based on a unique, alternative data source that complements existing studies by tapping into rich contextual information. Specifically, we examine court decisions that determine the appropriate discount and relate this percentage to an important characteristic of a private company: its “open” character, i.e. its willingness to accept outside shareholders or partners in the venture. We find that open and closed companies differ in value 6.5%. Our conclusions hold after controlling for known determinants of the discount. Our results impact valuation approaches and present real-world application for the owners and managers of private companies who may consider opening ownership to third parties.

The Readiness Potential Correlates with Action-Linked Modulation of Visual Accuracy
Authors: Benedetto Alessandro , Ho Hao Tam , Morrone Maria Concetta
Published: November 2022

Visual accuracy is consistently shown to be modulated around the time of the action execution. The neural underpinning of this motor-induced modulation of visual perception is still unclear. Here, we investigate with EEG whether it is related to the readiness potential, an event-related potential (ERP) linked to motor preparation. Across 18 human participants, the magnitude of visual modulation following a voluntary button press was found to correlate with the readiness potential amplitude measured during visual discrimination. Participants’ amplitude of the readiness potential in a purely motor-task was also found to correlate with the extent of the motor-induced modulation of visual perception in the visuomotor task. These results provide strong evidence that perceptual changes close to action execution are associated with motor preparation processes and that this mechanism is independent of task contingencies. Further, our findings suggest that the readiness potential provides a fingerprint of individual visuomotor interaction.

Fuller's earth of D. G. Khan was used as a low-cost adsorbent to remove copper and reactive yellow 18 from aqueous solutions as it has the capacity of adsorption of toxic particles in its structure. Because of this capacity to take up the ionic component, utilization of fuller's earth has experimented for the purification of wastewater in the laboratory. Sampling and physical processing by grinding and sieving/classification were conducted. Characterization of fuller's earth (adsorbent) was carried out by X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR). The result of XRF revealed the presence of large proportion of metal oxides like TiO2 (0.78%), Fe2O3 (3.13%), Al2O3 (12.38%), MgO (2.16%), CaO (10.73%), Na2O (0.22%), P2O5 (0.11%), Cl (0.03%), K2O (2.63%), MnO (0.03%), C (1.30%) and SiO2 (66.31%) in the fullers earth. SEM images show the morphology, porous nature, and different micro size particles of the adsorbent. FTIR results show the presence of different functional groups. The batch adsorption process was performed, and different operating parameters such as contact time, the concentration of fuller's earth, adsorbate concentration, pH values, and temperature were evaluated to find the maximum level of adsorption. Contact time of 100 minutes, 100 mg/L initial adsorbate concentration, 0.5 g adsorbent dosage at 65 oC temperature are the optimum values at which percentage removal is maximum, i.e., 96% for copper at pH 6 and 68% for reactive yellow 18 at pH two by Fullers earth was achieved. The solid addition method describes the pH point of zero charges, which is 4 for fuller's earth. Maximum adsorption at high temperature indicates that this adsorption process is endothermic.

Ce doped ZnO fish-scale shaped two-dimensional nanosheets photocatalysts (Ce-ZnO) were successfully prepared via hydrothermal method. The Ce-ZnO nanostructures were characterized by SEM, EDS, XRD, and UV-Vis DRS techniques. Ce ions were successfully incorporated into the lattice position of ZnO with Ce molar ratio lower than 1%. The photocatalytic capacity of Ce-doped ZnO nanosheets for removal of methylene blue (MB) were evaluated by batch experiment under visible light irradiation. The results revealed that the 1% mole ratio of Ce doped ZnO sample exhibited the highest photocatalytic efficiency for methylene blue (MB), where 96.48% of MB was degraded at 60 min.

Porous silicon (PS)/Copper oxide (CuO) photodetector was fabricated by incorporation of fine CuO nanoparticles synthesized via pulse laser ablation, onto PS substrate using electrochemical deposition technique. The influence of deposition current density (DC) on the structure, microstructure morphology and optical properties were studied using X-Ray diffraction (XRD), Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), and photoluminescence (PL). The microstructure morphology observed using FESEM are strongly dependant on the DC. PL peak spectra was enhanced and getting narrower at high DC 14.2 mA/cm-2 which is candidate to photodetector device application. The diode behavior of the CuO/PS device was prominently superior compared to the PS/Si device. Also, the higher on/off ratio was observed at low bias voltage for the CuO/PS PD. These results attributed to the improved structural quality of the CuO layer deposited on the PS. The flexible three-dimensional structure of the nano-dendrites overcomes the possible lattice mismatch between CuO and Si, leading to low defect densities at the interface. The light trapping nature of the nano-dendrites also contributed to the signal enhancement.

Precipitation of clustered ZnO nanoparticles was performed from low-cost starting materials. Morphological and particle size analyses show the cluster formation accumulating with nanoparticles. Chemical composition detection refers the ZnO formation. Hexagonal wurtzite structures are confirmed with low crystal size, high dislocation density, and spherical growth. Optical band gap shows red shift affecting to low required activating energy for photocatalytic activity. Photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange and glyphosate presents degradation rate constants of 3.28×10-3 min-1 and 2.45×10-3 min-1 , respectively, which is caused by the synergy of small particle size, small crystal size, high dislocation density, and low optical band gap. Therefore, clustered ZnO nanoparticles were demonstrated as a potential photocatalytic material for the decomposition of methyl orange and glyphosate.

An investigation was conducted to explore the applicability of magnetic and microwave techniques to characterize grains size variation during mechanical alloying. A series of Nano crystalline Fe65Co35samples have been prepared, these structures are prepared using mechanical alloying based on planetary ball mill under several milling conditions. Mechanical alloying is a non-equilibrium process for materials synthesis. The structural effects of mechanical alloying of powders were investigated by X-Ray diffraction analysis, microwaves and VSM magnetic technique. Consequently, alloy powder with an average grain size about of 8 nm was obtained. Experimental results show that fine Nano crystalline alloy powders prepared by mechanical milling are very promising for microwave applications.

Children with developmental disabilities (DD), such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), have complex health and developmental needs that require multiple service systems and interactions with various professionals across disciplines. The growing number of children and youth identified with ASD or DD, including anxiety and depression, has increased demand for services and need for highly qualified pediatric providers. Federally funded Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and related Disabilities (LEND) programs across the United States address today’s health care shortages by providing comprehensive, interdisciplinary training to providers from multiple pediatric disciplines who screen, diagnose, and treat those with ASD and DD. Each LEND program develops training methods independently, including quality improvement efforts. In 2014, LEND programs began designing and validating common measures to evaluate LEND training. The LEND Program Quality Improvement (LPQI) Network was established in 2016. Participating LEND programs in the LPQI Network administer validated trainee self-report and faculty-observation measures that address skills in key competency domains of Interdisciplinary or Interprofessional Team Building, Family-Professional Partnerships, and Policy. This study reports data from faculty and trainees from 22 LEND programs that participated in the LPQI Network across the 5-year data collection period. The main outcome of this study was the change in trainee knowledge, skills, and attitudes scores in key competency domains across programs. Overall, trainees made significant knowledge, skills, and attitude gains based on both self-report and faculty observation scores for all 3 competency domains. Data demonstrate the value of LEND programs and feasibility of a national quality improvement approach to evaluate interdisciplinary training and systems-level improvement.

Objetivo: avaliar os níveis de estresse e burnout dos trabalhadores de enfermagem de clínica cirúrgica antes e após a participação em grupo de apoio. Materiais e método: estudo quase-experimental, realizado em um hospital público com 16 trabalhadores. Os dados foram coletados entre maio e junho de 2015, e no mesmo período em 2016, por meio de instrumento de características biossociaise laborais, da Escala de Estresse no Trabalho e do Inventário Maslach de Burnout. Resultados: antes da participação no grupo de apoio em 2015, houve predomínio de médio nível de estresse (50 %). Quanto ao burnout, evidenciaram-se níveis de baixo desgaste emocional (43,8 %), baixa despersonalização (56,3 %), baixa realização profissional (43,8 %) e nenhum caso de burnout. Em 2016, após a participação no grupo deapoio, o nível médio de estresse manteve-se prevalente (56,6 %). Para o burnout, houve aumento dos níveis de desgaste emocional e despersonalização, e diminuição da realização profissional. Apesar disso, também não foram identificados casos da síndrome. Conclusões: a participação no grupo de apoio mobilizou o aumento do alto nível de estresse, apesar da manutenção da prevalência de nível médio. Quanto ao burnout, notaram-se piora na avaliação do desgaste emocional, despersonalização e, consequentemente, diminuição da realização profissional. Situação que sinaliza atenção, pois mostra condição favorável para o surgimento de casos da síndrome. Contudo, ainda são necessárias intervenções com foco no enfrentamento dessesestressores ocupacionais.
Evaluación del riesgo a incendios de la cobertura vegetal del Santuario de Fauna y Flora Iguaque (Boyacá, Colombia)
Authors: Martelo-Jiménez Nicolás , Vargas Ríos Orlando
Published: November 2022

La alteración de los regímenes naturales de incendios en muchos ecosistemas del mundo tiene varias causas, entre las cuales las más importantes son: los usos de la tierra con quemas agrícolas en condiciones de sequía, los cambios en las coberturas vegetales por deforestación, la expansión de plantas invasoras y el cambio climático. En este trabajo se evaluó el riesgo a incendios de la cobertura vegetal del Santuario de Fauna y Flora Iguaque (SFFI) a partir de la definición de su amenaza y vulnerabilidad. Se utilizó la metodología multicriterio definida por el Instituto de Hidrología, Meteorología y Estudios Ambientales (IDEAM) con algunas modificaciones según concepciones posteriores de la teoría del riesgo y gestión de desastres. Se encontró la amenaza total alta y muy alta de incendios de la cobertura vegetal en el 34,9 % del SFFI y la vulnerabilidad total con las mismas categorías para el 98,5 % del territorio. Por lo anterior, el riesgo alto y muy alto de incendios abarcó el 27,3 % del área protegida, localizado principalmente en su región central y suroccidental. Asimismo, el riesgo moderado abarcó el 39,4 % del Santuario. Dichos resultados proponen a los incendios como uno de los principales disturbios de los ecosistemas presentes y evidencian la alta posibilidad de que este fenómeno produzca afectaciones adversas sobre los sistemas socioecológicos. Esta zonificación contribuirá a la gestión del Santuario en torno a la reducción de los impactos negativos de los incendios, su severidad e intensidad.

Authors: Torres-Toro Juliana , Grisales Diana , Wolff Marta
Published: November 2022

The Stratiomyidae fauna of Colombia is not well known, mainly because of very few published studies for the country. Currently, 35 genera are recorded. A review of the literature and the examination of more than 4000 specimens from entomological collections allowed us to record 54 genera of Stratiomyidae in Colombia,  adding 19 genera to the previously known. A list of genera currently reported, an image of the wing for most of these genera, and locality data, are included.
