Powder XRD, PSD and DSC Analysis of the Consciousness Energy Healing Treated Zinc Chloride
Authors: Jana Snehasis
Published: February 2022

Zinc chloride is commonly used as a source of zinc for the treatment of many diseases and overall maintenance of good health. The impacts of the Trivedi Effect® on the physicochemical, thermal, and behavioral properties of zinc chloride were evaluated using sophisticated analytical techniques. Zinc chloride was divided into control and treated parts. Only, the treated part received the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment remotely by a renowned Biofield Energy Healer, Dahryn Trivedi. The powder XRD relative peak intensities and crystallite sizes of the treated zinc chloride were significantly altered ranging from -58.73 to 141.43 and -74.03 to 228.56%, respectively compared with the control sample. The average crystallite size of the treated zinc chloride was significantly increased by 4.34% compared with the control sample. The particle sizes of the treated zinc chloride sample were significantly altered by 11.04% (d10), -11.85% (d50), -20.35% (d90), and -21.88% {D (4, 3)} compared with the control sample. Thus, the surface area of the treated zinc chloride (10400 m2/g) was significantly increased by 112.24% compared with the control sample (4900 m2/g). The latent heat of fusion and decomposition of the treated sample were significantly increased by 96.18% and 134.66%, respectively compared with the control sample. The current study predicted that the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment might produce a new polymorphic form of zinc chloride with larger crystallite size, smaller particle size, and increased surface area, which would improve the solubility, absorption, bioavailability, and thermal stability compared with the control sample. Therefore, the Consciousness Energy Healing Treated zinc chloride would be very useful to design more efficacious nutraceutical or pharmaceutical formulations for the treatment of immunological disorders, inflammatory diseases, aging, stress, cancer, parakeratosis, dysosmia, hypogonadism, Wilson’s disease, anorexia, etc.

Integrated Monitoring and Supportive Visits as a Tool to Monitor New Products Transition and Quality of Care of Antiretroviral Treatment Programme in Nigeria
Authors: Urama Bennett
Published: February 2022

Background: Integrated monitoring and supportive visit (iMSV) to health facilities is a facilitative approach that promotes mentorship, team work, joint problem-solving, cross-learning, skill sharing and communication between programme staff and health care workers (HCWs) at the service delivery points. The National AIDS and STIs Control Programme (NASCP) instituted iMSV as part of the effort to monitor uptake of new antiretroviral drugs and quality of care of the antiretroviral treatment programme. A range of measures were taken to ensure that the iMSV team carry out the activities effectively to guide, support and assist health facility staff to become more competent in their work. This article highlights the processes of the iMSV and the outcome of the exercise. Methodology: A standard assessment checklist was used. Data were collected from 154 health facilities through interviews, direct observation, document review and physical inventory. Health facilities were sampled using three criteria: sites with population of patients on antiretroviral therapy (ART) above ≥ 1000; sites without logistics Management information report (LMIS) report in the last three cycles (July/August 2018, Sept/Oct 2018 and Nov/Dec 2018); sites with zero consumption of dolutegravir 50mg (DTG) and tenofovir/lamivudine/dolutegravir (TLD) from November/December 2018 LMIS data. Special consideration was given to states with highest HIV burden. Combined team from funders, implementing partners, national and state government took part in the exercise. Data entry and analysis were done using MS Excel. Results: Findings revealed that there are trained but inadequate HCWs of all cadres supporting the programme. It also showed that key elements of quality of care e.g. baseline laboratory investigations, WHO staging for treatment naïve patients, viral load testing, TB preventive therapy are been implemented but need to be improved. Necessary guidelines, standard operating procedures and job aids were available in most of the health facilities. The new antiretroviral drugs were generally available and most of the health facilities have commenced the use. There is slow pace of transitioning of existing adult and adolescent patients from previously preferred regimen to the new preferred regimen as approved by NASCP. Few incidents of HIV product stock out were recorded in some health facilities. Storage condition for the products is generally okay and laboratories carry out necessary quality control on reagents and kits batches before use. Conclusion: iMSV is a promising approach to monitoring and improving uptake of new products and quality of care of the programme. Close monitoring and re-strengthening of the HCWs had a positive impact on the overall performance of the programme.
Quitting “Cold Turkey”: Insights from the Field on Smoking Cessation
Authors: Balamurugan Appathurai
Published: February 2022

Objectives: We sought to explore perceptions and attitudes associated with nicotine addiction, quitting unassisted or “cold turkey”, and media approaches toward tobacco cessation among people who quit cold turkey. Methods: We conducted a descriptive phenomenological study using focus group interviews with purposeful sampling. Three focus groups were convened, one with past smokers that successfully quit cold turkey (n=11), second with current smokers that attempted cold turkey but were unsuccessful (n=7), and the third with current smokers that never tried quitting cold turkey (n=9). Individuals were recruited from respondents to the 2016 Arkansas Adult Tobacco Survey. Groups were moderated by an independent third-party. Participants completed a confidential lifestyle survey prior to the focus group discussions to gain additional smoking-related information. Perceptions and attitudes about tobacco use, nicotine addiction, quitting “cold turkey”, and public health media approaches toward tobacco cessation among former and current smokers were gathered from video recordings and transcripts. Results: Former smokers who quit “cold turkey” stated that it worked because they were finally ready to quit. Current smokers that failed the “cold turkey” approach attribute their failure to lack of readiness, and a general skepticism towards any quit approaches. Additionally, negative messages were minimally impactful with regard to quitting - there must be a readiness to do so. Conclusion: The focus groups revealed that public health messages to promote “cold turkey” should be positive, empowering, and demonstrate the scope for renewed health; telling people what quitting “Will do”, not what “Not quitting will do” is vital

A Gripe Espanhola, também chamada Pneumónica, foi uma pandemia causada pelo subtipo H1N1 de influenza, que surgiu em 1918, no último ano da I Guerra Mundial. O vírus afetava os pulmões e as vias respiratórias, provocava hemorragia pulmonar e infeção bacteriana secundária. Não se sabe a origem, mas ficou conhecida como Gripe Espanhola, já que os jornais espanhóis reportaram amplamente os efeitos do vírus no país, pois Espanha assumiu uma posição neutra na guerra, não sendo praticada a censura na imprensa. A pandemia disseminou-se por várias partes do mundo e teve três ondas, sendo que a segunda, no outono de 1918, foi responsável por elevadas taxas de morbilidade e mortalidade. No geral resultou em cerca de 500 milhões de infetados por todo o mundo e, em mais de 50 milhões de mortes. Distinguiu-se pela elevada mortalidade em jovens adultos. Portugal foi um país muito afetado. A Gripe Espanhola chegou ao país através do Alentejo, durante os meses de junho e julho de 1918. Pretendemos, com o presente artigo, refletir sobre como a partir da pandemia de 1918-1919 desenvolveu-se o conhecimento científico na área da saúde pública e como os avanços científicos subsequentes facilitaram o desenvolvimento de medidas preventivas, incluindo vacinas e antivirais. Muitas lições da pandemia de Gripe Espanhola foram aprendidas e contribuíram para a história da ciência na prevenção de outras potenciais pandemias e epidemias que decorreram ou foram prevenidas no século XX e início do século XXI incluindo a pandemia da Covid-19.

The psychological training and mentoring entitled “Harmony from Within” aimed at improving emotion regulation strategies of adolescents at the Narayan Seva Orphanage, Buleleng-Bali. Participants were 22 adolescents ranging from 16 to 20 years old. The methods included seminar, discussion, presentation, and group work. Based on the evaluation conducted, it was found this activity was rated very well by the participants. In addition, there were also differences in emotion regulation scores among the two strategies, namely cognitive reappraisal and the expressive suppression before and after training. As many as 68% of the participants experienced improvement in implementing cognitive reappraisal strategy, and only 27% of participants were finally able to minimize the implementation of expressive suppression strategy. These results showed that the training and mentoring given could provide benefits for improving cognitive reappraisal strategy, but not in minimizing expressive suppression strategy.Keywords: emotion regulation, cognitive reappraisal, expressive suppression

El objetivo de este trabajo de investigación fue analizar los indicadores de salud y de pobreza que influyen en el aumento de contagios por el coronavirus de tipo 2 causante del síndrome respiratorio agudo severo (SARS-CoV-2) a través de dos modelos predictivos. Se realizó un análisis en 2409 municipios de México en dos periodos de tiempo. Para el periodo dos (13 de julio del 2021) las variables “Neumonía”, “Asma”, “Otra complicación”, “Obesidad” y “Otro caso” influyeron en el contagio de covid-19 en 0.4024, 0.5229, 2.4246, 1.0053 y 1.4788, respectivamente. De igual forma, las carencias de ingresos, vivienda y alimentación fueron variables sociales que influyeron en el número de contagios, debido a que no se pudo mantener “sana distancia”. Se concluye con la demande de que el Gobierno aplique mayores medidas tanto de salud como de conciencia social al contagio del covid-19, así como de programas sociales en los lugares donde existan personas vulnerables por ingresos, personas con carencia en calidad y espacios de vivienda y personas con carencia en acceso a la alimentación.
Reconstruction of Severely Atrophic Mandible by Installing Dental Implants Using the Modified “Tent Pole” Technique: Case Report
Authors: Tavares de Sá Rodrigo , Cardoso Lincoln Lara , de Toledo Italo Cordeiro , Paiva Luis Gustavo Jaime , Scartezini Guilherme Romano , Gasperini Giovanni
Published: February 2022

Patients who use full dental prostheses for long periods of time usually experience bone resorption in the alveolar process and in keratinized mucosa. This can cause instability, low prosthetic retention, and subsequent loss of function. Treating a patient with a severely atrophic mandible is quite challenging due to the low bone height and thickness, potentially impairing rehabilitation, aesthetics, and functional recovery. Several techniques are used to reconstruct major vertical defects for the installation of dental implants. Among these is the “tent pole” technique, which features low morbidity and generally produces good results in the form of increased height of the alveolar ridge bone. Herein we describes a patient with a severely atrophic mandible, reconstructed using a plate and dental implants. We employed a modified “tent pole” technique using an autogenous graft of the iliac crest and without use of platelet-rich plasma concentrate. Our results indicate that the modified tent pole technique using the iliac crest graft, and without use of platelet-rich plasma, is a safe and effective method for achieving mandibular reconstruction while restoring function, aesthetics, and the patients’ quality of life.
Surgical Technique for Conservative Management of Benign Lesions in Maxillofacial Region: Experience from a Single Clinic in Bogotá, Colombia
Authors: Aldana Henry , Mejía Sandra , Mosquera Camilo
Published: February 2022

Odontogenic tumors are lesions derived from the epithelium, the ectomesenchyme and/or the mesenchymal elements that were or continue to be part of the structures that forms the teeth. They are found exclusively within the maxillofacial skeleton and can occur at any stage of an individual's life. Keratocystic odontogenic tumors owe their name to their neoplastic behavior, aggressiveness, and high recurrence rate, which rates from 25 to 65%. Ameloblastomas, on the other hand, are benign, locally aggressive lesions, polymorphic neoplasms with proliferation of the odontogenic epithelium covering a fibrous stroma. Ameloblastomas have a high recurrence rate, about 60-80% if they are not adequately removed. The management of these injuries has become a challenge for the maxillofacial surgeon, currently there are two treatment alternatives, conservative management and surgical resection. A retrospective review of 7 cases of patients who consulted the maxillofacial surgery department of Clinica Universitaria Colombia was performed. 5 patients with a diagnosis of odontogenic keratocyst and 2 with a diagnosis of ameloblastoma treated with the technique proposed by Dr. Henry Aldana called “enucleation and corticotomies with a rotary instrument.” Technique that avoids block resection and allows taking advantage of the residual cavitation defect that, together with the mucoperiosteal closure, contains the initial clot to favor bone neoformation and allows spontaneous regeneration without the need for grafts or any other reconstructive technique. Patients have been followed up for a minimum period of 6 months and bone neoformation has been observed and the patients have no signs or symptoms related to recurrence of the lesion.

An Empirical Study of the Effect of Online Comments on Consumer Buying Behavior
Authors: Koyluoglu A. Selcuk
Published: February 2022

There are many factors that affect the buying decision of consumers, and online comments are very important among these factors. Online comments made by customers or users have a direct impact on buying decisions. For this reason, consumers carefully examine online comments from other customers or users to access more accurate and realistic information during the buying decision process. The aim of the study, which is built on this understanding, is to examine the effects of online comments on consumer buying behavior. For this purpose, the study was carried out at Selcuk University with a random sampling method using a google survey. A total of 400 people at the university were reached. In this way, the opinions of different segments including academics, university staff and students were asked. SPSS 22.0 program was used in the analysis of the collected data. Pearson correlation and multiple regression analyzes were used because the scale used in the study was a normal distribution and parametric tests were used. As a result, it was observed that as the positive perspective of the participants on consumer comments increased, buying behavior also increased. However, no significant relationship was found between attitude towards comment and buying behavior (p>0.05). The fact that the study was carried out at a university and that it covers the entire university, from academicians to students, distinguishes the study from others and makes it significant. Future studies on this subject can be carried out on other segments of society.

The Hierarchy of Oppression, from Authoritarianism to Misogyny: A Study in the Monodrama of Mamdouh ʿUdwan
Authors: Zahrawi Samar
Published: February 2022

This paper will focus on the drama of the Syrian dramatist and poet Mamdouh ʿUdwan (1941-2004), who has not yet received due critical attention. During his twenty years writing for the stage, ʿUdwan resisted oppressive political regimes and was consequently marginalized and impoverished. Due to censorship, his drama does not delineate the free society that he dreams of, nor does it openly censure the sources of corruption. On the contrary, he creates ambiguous male characters who enjoy a measure of dignity and social decorum but simultaneously unravel their toxic masculinity and oppressive nature. On the other hand, women are kept offstage and are victims of either male chauvinism or social hypocrisy. This study will follow the unmasking of male authority and its parallel to political and economic hegemony. The purpose is to critique the values of Arab culture, which customarily cements male privilege. An analytical study of the form and content of ʿUdwan’s monodramas That’s Life (1987), The Garbage Collector (1987), and The Cannibals (1984) will link oppressive social behavior to political autocracy. It suggests that misogyny and oppression of women are consequences of men feeling crushed by dictatorship and corruption.
Narrative Aspects of the Novels by Lucy Maud Montgomery and Eleanor Porter
Authors: Matsevko-Bekerska Lidiia , Nikolenko Olha , Kokhan Roksoliana , Nikolenko Kateryna
Published: February 2022

The metamodernist mood of the modern era increasingly clearly correlates with the transformation of literary methodologies and methods of reading, analysis, and interpretation of literary texts. The study of the genre specificity of the novel is one of the essential segments of the latest scientific studies, given its flexibility and significant textual representation in various national works of literature. This paper offers a critical review of the key stages in the history of the study of the novel as a literary genre, as well as shows the possibilities of understanding the poetic aspects of the author’s style. The material of the research relies on the novels by the Canadian writer Lucy Maud Montgomery and the US writer Eleanor Porter. Both authors belonged to the same historical and cultural era; their work has many typological parallels due to objective factors. At the same time, the modernist worldview was embodied in each stylistic manner in its own way. Comparison of individual styles makes it possible to carry out a typological analysis within a particular genre with access to the study of common sources of image creation, as well as modeling the interpretive paradigm of metamodernism in the projection on the literature of different historical periods taking into account national characteristics. At the same time, the research opens up the prospect of expanding the methodological horizons of narratology for its progress beyond its “boundaries”: outside of literary studies, in a significant context, as well as in space outside of fiction.
The Role of Derivation in Teaching Quranic Vocabulary: Between Theory and Practice
Authors: Mohamed Hefny Rabie , Fathy Mohamed Abdelgelil Mohamed , Kamal Ibrahim Osman Ammar , Hassan Isyaku
Published: February 2022

Words with close meanings often cause difficulty in understanding the meanings of Quranic text. At times, Quranic words with similar meanings are even used in the wrong context. As such, understanding the morphological and semantic differences between Quranic words with close meanings becomes necessary. Therefore, this research aims to explore the roots and semantic differences of Quranic words with similar meanings and ascertain the role of derivation in teaching Quranic vocabulary. The research employed the descriptive-analytical approach to trace Quranic words with similar connotations and determine their derivation methods. The findings showed that the etymological origins of Quranic vocabulary with similar meanings can help greatly in clarifying the semantic features of the words. Similarly, the findings revealed that referring to the morphological structures of words helps to discover the meanings of Quranic words with similarity in linguistic origin and difference in structure. Therefore, derivation can be an effective means of determining the connotations of Quranic words, which can be useful in teaching Quranic vocabulary. This research could help instructors to advance the method of teaching Quranic vocabulary as well as the Arabic language in general. Nevertheless, the research is limited to the role of derivation in teaching Quranic vocabulary, and thus, further studies may focus on how the origin and formation of words can help students to develop language skills.

Az igazságszolgáltatás szervezetrendszerének az 1940-ben visszatért keleti és erdélyi országrészeken történt újjászervezése jelenleg alig feltárt területe a magyar alkotmánytörténetnek, így e tanulmányomban a bírósági szervezeten keresztül megpróbálom bemutatni azt a hatalmas feladatot, amelyet a jogalkotó nyolcvan évvel ezelőtt végrehajtott. A terület jogrendszerének feltárására irányuló kutatásaimba nemcsak alkotmánytörténeti szempontból illeszthető be ez a téma, hanem a kiterjesztett magánjog érvényesülésének vizsgálatánál sem mellőzhető. Az ítélkezési gyakorlatot nagyban befolyásolta a bírók jogismerete, amely a magyarországi magánjog kiterjesztésének időszakában (1941-42) gyakran kérdésessé vált, és szorosan kapcsolódott a kinevezésük előtti jogászi tevékenységükhöz.

Jelen tanulmányban azokat a változásokat követem végig, amelyek a két román megszállás (1918-19 és 1944) között mentek végbe az említett két, egyszerre visszatért országrészen, kiemelve azt az időszakot, amelyben ezekre a magyar állam fennhatósága terjedt ki négy éven keresztül. Felhasználom a vonatkozó jogszabályokat, levéltári dokumentumokat, valamint az eddig megjelent szakirodalmi forrásokat, amelyeknek – szándékom szerint – e dolgozat nem pusztán összefoglalása, hanem új megállapításokat tartalmazó szintézise.
szabadságvesztés büntetés alternatívái a büntetéskiszabás tükrében
Authors: Papp Ádám Antal
Published: February 2022

A tanulmány egy későbbi, sokkal mélyrehatóbb kutatás része, amelyben a büntetéskiszabási gyakorlatot vizsgálom. Korunk büntetéskiszabó gyakorlatának egyik központi kérdése a szabadságvesztést tartalmazó joghátrányok elhelyezése. A börtönök túltelítettsége nem csak Magyarországon, hanem az egész világon hatalmas problémát jelent. Az állam számára meglehetősen drága, a fogvatartottak számára pedig sokszor csak még erősebb eltávolodást eredményez a szabadságvesztés. Kiszakadnak a megszokott környezetükből, elszigetelődnek és más olykor sokkal súlyosabb bűnelkövetőkkel kerülnek kapcsolatba.
A reintegráció, és az alternatív szankciók előtérbe kerülése megoldást jelenthet a büntetésvégrehajtási intézeteknek, azonban nem szabad feledni, hogy a szabadságvesztés bizonyos esetekben szükséges szankció. Az egyensúlyi helyzet kialakítása lenne az ideális, ahol a speciál és generálpreventív szándék is érvényesül. Ebben kívánok egy rövid, ámde összegző jellegű gondolatmenetet felvázolni. A célom eléréshez felhasználtam a múlt tanulságait, gondolva itt a különböző büntetőjogi iskolák és elméletek tapasztalataira, az eddigi sikerekre, kudarcokra, mellékvágányokra.
A későbbiekben erre az írásra alapozva, mindenképpen egy átfogó jellegű, a büntetéskiszabási gyakorlatot részletesebben vizsgáló tanulmányt kívánok létrehozni. Addig is  néhány bírósági ítéletben próbáltam megtalálni azokat a tényezőket, amelyek a bírót meggyőzték, hogy egy alternatív szankciót alkalmazzon. Ezek olyan emberi tényezők, amelyeket nehéz jogszabályba foglalni, hiszen minden esetben más és más tényezők, de inkább azok összhangja jelentős.

Published: February 2022

Salt or sodium chloride (NaCl) is used in everyday life mainly to give food taste. Salt is hepatotoxic, so excessive use of salt has an impact on the liver. The liver is one part of the organ that has an important role in the body's metabolism, especially in neutralizing toxins. The liver is composed of hepatocytes. There are 60% hepatocytes of the total cells in the liver. Hepatocytes are the main cells responsible for the central role of the liver in metabolism. Liver function becomes very vulnerable to damage because it continuously neutralizes toxins. Such damage can occur and affect the structure and function of the liver. This study was conducted to determine the structural abnormalities of hepatocytes that occur in the liver of mice (Mus musculus) due to excessive salt consumption. The method used in this study was a CRD (completely randomized design) method consisting of 1 control group and 3 treatment groups by sodium chloride (NaCl) with 6 replications. The parameter in this study was the level of hepatocyte damage in the liver of mice (Mus musculus). Hepatocyte damage that occurred was observed through histological preparations with Hematoxylin Eosin (HE) staining. The results of this study indicate that hepatocyte cell damage in the liver of mice (Mus musculus) increases due to continuous administration of excess sodium chloride (NaCl).

Pulp and paper industry fly ash is categorized as B3 waste, namely hazardous and toxic waste. Liquid waste produced by the pulp and paper industry contains pollutants that are toxic and can cause pathological and histopathological changes in important tissues such as the gills of fish that live in the waters around the disposal. The purpose of this study was to analyze the histology of tilapia on the performance results of fly ash adsorbents in the management of liquid waste in the pulp and paper industry. The research method has 6 treatments, namely the ratio of fly ash to pulp and paper liquid waste (20 g; 1 L) namely P0: 100 % well water control, P1: lowest liquid waste 5 % + 9.5 % well water, P2: 5 % liquid waste fly ash adsorbent + 95 % well water, P3: 6.25 % liquid waste fly ash adsorbent + 93.75 % well water, P4: 7.5 % liquid waste fly ash adsorbent + 92.5 L of well water, P5: 8.75 % fly ash adsorbent + 91.25 % well water, P6: 10 % fly ash adsorbent + 9 % well water. Water quality measurements such as temperature, NH3, pH and DO were carried out. Observation of gill histology used microtechnical method which includes deparaffinization and histological staining (HE). Analysis was carried out on changes in cell morphology in gill tissue. The results showed that the morphology of gill cells in liquid waste pulp and paper 5 % found gill damage in the form of congestion, secondary lamella fusion, secondary filament rupture and goblet proliferation occurred in the treatment of wastewater treatment while Fly ash adsorbent 5 % damaged gills in the form of congestion and fusion of secondary lamellae. From the results of the Fly ash functions can reduce damage to body organs in fish, especially on the gills so that it can reduce the number of deaths in fish compared to treatment without the use of fly ash.

The free radicals that people face in their daily activities require humans to get additional antioxidants from the outside. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to look for many sources of natural antioxidants considering the need for antioxidants that are increasingly needed Katimaha (K. hospita L.) is believed to have many benefits in the field of medicine. Therefore, katimaha has the potential to be used as a source of natural antioxidants. The research methods carried out were refining katimaha leaf simplicia, extraction, fractionation, antioxidant activity test with TLC plate, purification, determination of compound class, and antioxidant activity test using the DPPH method. The results showed that the active fraction of Katimaha leaf was the n-hexane fraction and the ethyl acetate fraction. Column chromatography on the active fraction found six pure eluates that had antioxidant activity, namely N1, N3, N5, E1, E2, and E4. Groups of compounds N1, N3, N5, E1 are terpenoids, group E2 eluates are tannins, while E3 eluates are flavonoid compounds. The pure eluate antioxidant activity test using the DPPH method obtained IC50 values of N1 are 40,142 ppm, N3 80,057 ppm, N5 271,643 ppm and E1 89,16 ppm, E2 124.91 ppm and E4 52.51 ppm.

Planting glutinous corn on peatland must be treated using ameliorant ingredients of manure fermented with EM4 and growth regulators. Ameliorated peatland can accelerate the supply of organic and mineral compounds which is easily absorbed by plants so that production can be optimized.  This study aims to see the response of ameliorant ingredients and growth regulators on the growth and production of glutinous corn of Arumba (Zea mays L. Ceratina) variety on peatland. This study used a randomized block design (RAK) in factorial consisting of two factors, and three replications.  The first factor was the ameliorant material (A), namely A0 = without ameliorant (control), A1 = cow manure fermented with EM4, A2 = chicken manure fermented with EM4, A3 = goat manure fermented with EM4 and he second factor is the type of Growth Regulatory Substance (ZPT), namely Z0 = without ZPT (control), Z1 = Superior Plant Hormone Growth Regulator (Ghost), Z2 = Harmonic Growth Regulatory Substance, Z3 = Atonic Growth Regulator Substance. The variables observed included plant height (cm), stem diameter (cm), weight of wet bean (g), weight of ear (g), length of ear (cm) diameter of ear (cm).  The results showed that the ameliorant material from chicken manure fermented with EM4 and the use of superior plant hormone growth regulators (phantoms) provide optimal growth and production of glutinous corn because it corresponds to the description of glutinous corn of the Arumba variety, and is the best treatment.

Following the previous analytical studies performed with ATENA software for a series of RC moment resisting frame models, it were used in the pre-processing stage the stress-strain relation laws for concrete and steel reinforcement. These mathematical and graphical relations represent a necessity in the current conditions of numerical analysis and imply a correct knowledge of the deformation mode of the „reinforced concrete” which is a composite material. Thus, it is desired through this research paper the theoretical exposition of: equivalent uniaxial law for concrete, biaxial compressive failure and tensile failure consideration laws for concrete, bilinear with hardening law for steel reinforcement, cycling steel reinforcement model and steel reinforcement bond model. Finally, it will be possible to validate the correctness of the analytical RC frame systems through the experimental results of the optimal RC frame model after seismic platform testing.
Assessing the Level of Concrete Hardening by the Maturity Method
Authors: Alexandra Pamfil
Published: February 2022

Curing levels under standardized temperature and humidity conditions of concrete (but also for medium temperature conditions in the range of +5 o C → +35 o C, maximum +40 o C, depending on the type of cement used in the preparation of concrete, in order not to record final resistance losses) can be plotted graphically with a single chart for all concrete grades prepared with the same type of cement at different ages.

Each concrete hardening diagram corresponds to a degree of maturation, defined as the area between the average temperature plot of the concrete and the -10 ° C order, over time, so that only resistance based on the temperature measurement during the curing can be evaluated (or the level of hardening) of the concrete necessary for the technological process - decofing, precompression force transfer, acceptance of freezing of the concrete without adverse effects, precast concrete transport etc., but also the necessary times for starting a technological process.
