Authors: Odintsov D. S. , Suvorov A. S. , Yestemesov Z. A. , Barvinov A. V.
Published: October 2022

The white Portland cement WPC-1-500-D0 has been studied by us and consists of the following minerals, wt%: alite – 50.4; belite – 20.0; celite – 0.9; felite – 16.7; gypsum – 7.0. The four of one minerals are clinker, and the last is involved into the cement during its grinding.

Using X-ray phase analysis (XRP), it has been found that alite and belite have a crystalline structure, and felite has a glassy structure. Amorphism of felite is the result of high-temperature clinker has been cooled rapidly with water. The composition of clinker contains impurity of individual ions in form (Fe3+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ti4+, Mn2+, Cu2+), which are involved in the structure of clinker minerals; they do not create independent connections and do not remain in a free state. Moreover, Na+, K+, Mg2+, and possibly Ti4+, Mn2+ ions are mainly concentrated in the structure of silicate minerals, while Fe3+ and other chromophores in the consistance of calcium alumino-ferrites. Because of this, the values of interplanar distances (d) are shifted towards smaller and larger numbers than the reference ones. According by this situation, clinker minerals are their solid solutions. The physical and mechanical properties of white Portland cement WPC-1-500-D0 meet the technical requirements in accordance with GOST 965-89. “White Portland cement. Technical Specifications". However, due to the high content of felite (3CaO·Al2O3) – 16.7%, independent compounds of the 3CaO·Al2O3·6H2O type can be created, which will significantly reduce the durability of materials and products made on the basis of this white Portland cement. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to check all white Portland cements entering the Republic of Kazakhstan for changes in strength, frost-resistance and corrosion resistance.
Methods of feasibility study of efficiency of well placement of horizontal directional wells within oil and gas reservoir bed boundaries. Jsc embamunaigas success experience were taken for analysis
Authors: Yessirkeyev A. M. , Teleev G. Yu.
Published: October 2022

This article describes the positive experience of applying an integrated approach in planning and drilling horizontal wells with geosteering in the fields of Embamunaigas JSC (most of which have entered the late stage of development, with a steady increase in hard-to-recover hydrocarbon reserves) in order to achieve maximization of oil production. In this article we present a comprehensive horizontal well placement approach which comprises the following key elements: Interpretation of 3D seismic and the use of logs of nearby wells and a 3D static model for well trajectory planning; following a pre-agreed geosteering procedure while drilling, on-site analysis of cuttings and LWD data to adjust the well trajectory and, thereby, optimize well placement. The extent of field development drilling activity of the objects, production drilling of the main development object and the need of horizontal section well placement in the area of the existing element of the development of the object impose certain restrictions on the drilling of horizontal wells. Well placement is one of the best solution to increase production and extend of brawn field life.

Published: October 2022

INTRODUCTION: Hyponatremia is regarded as the most commonly occurring disorder of electrolyte observed in patients in diverse hospital settings. Hyponatremia if becomes severe, may become life-threatening leading to drastic neurological complicationsDue to it being marker for identification of underlying medical conditions, it is often associated with inadequate prognostication, even when level of sodium in serum is reduced mildly only. Development of hyponatremia begins during ST-elevation myocardial infarction�s acute phase due to neurohormonal activation. The aim of this study is to ascertain hyponatremia�s prognostic value amidst acute phase of myocardial infarction.

�

AIMS & OBJECTIVE: To ascertain hyponatremia�s frequency and the impact on the outcome of in-hospital patients suffering with acute ST elevated myocardial infarction.

�

MATERIAL AND METHODS: This was a descriptive study which was carried out at Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi (AKUH) over a period of six months. After obtaining consent of the patients, their data was collected prospectively. Inclusion of the patients was dependent upon diagnostic criteria and 225 individuals were selected. For quantitative data we used mean�standard deviation while the categorial variables were expressed as percentages and frequency. Scarification was used to control effect modifiers to observe their effect on output variable. A chi-square test was carried out post stratification and a p-value of ?0.05 was determined as significant.

�

RESULTS: Overall, 225 patients admitted in department of Cardiology, Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi were made part of this study. The mean age was 56.80�7.56 years in the present study. There were 135 (60%) male and 90 (40%) female patients. Out of 225 patients, 43 (19.1%) had hyponatremia. In-hospital mortality was 22 (100%) who had hyponatremia.

CONCLUSION: Hyponatremia in patients with acute STEMI is observed as a major predictor related to cardiovascular mortality. Level of sodium in the plasma might serve to be a relatively simple marker for the identification of patients who are at risk.

Restrictions on the principles governing mediation proceedings in settlement agreements concluded by the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) pursuant to Article 54a of the Public Finances Act
Authors: Trzaskowska-Słyś Magdalena
Published: October 2022

Introduction: This paper shows to what degree other principles of mediation proceedings, i.e. voluntariness and advantages compared to conventional court proceedings, i.e. lower costs and swifter resolution, are limited in the case of public entities that enter into settlement agreements pursuant to Article 54a of the Public Finances Act as compared to non-public sector entities that enter into such agreements.
Objective: Analysis of the restrictions faced in practice by public finances sector units [government entities] when entering into settlement agreements referred to in Article 54a of the Public Finances Act as a result of mediation proceedings regulated in the Civil Procedure Code (CPC).
Materials and methods: Having analyzed the existing regulations both under civil and public law, the author attempts to determine whether or not public finances sector entities, including the Social Insurance Institution, are in fact taking full advantage of the same guarantees and rights as those enjoyed by commercial entities regarding the use of out-of-court dispute resolution methods. The analysis adopted the dogmatic and legal method and the criticism of the literature on mediation.
Results: While mediation proceedings are conducted pursuant to the CPC, which means that they are secret, voluntary, swift and inexpensive – these guarantees and benefits of mediation are not fully enjoyed by public entities, which detracts from the confidence and trust of parties to a dispute who might otherwise choose this form of conflict resolution. The same holds true of the confidentiality of documents created during and for the needs of such proceedings, i.e. the opinions referred to in Article 54a(2) of the Public Finances Act, as well as the settlement agreement that results from amicable negotiations between the parties.

Authors: Silva Santos Letícia , Sokolnik de Oliveira Leonardo
Published: October 2022

OBJECTIVE: Evaluate how the COVID-19 pandemic affected the opinion of the population about vaccines and if there was a decrease in the vaccine coverage during the pandemic. METHODS: A self-applied questionnaire was used with the internet with questions about de impact of the pandemic about the perception and adhesion of the population to the vaccine campaigns and about the probability to vaccinate to COVID-19 once there is an approved and available vaccine and de majority believe the vaccines should be mandatory. RESULTS: We reached 475 answers to the questionnaire that showed an increase of the importance that the population gives to vaccines in general after the pandemic, a decrease of the vaccine coverage during the pandemic and high probability that the population get vaccinated against COVID-19 once there is an available vaccine and most of the population consider that the vaccine should be mandatory, however a decreased vaccination coverage was detected during the pandemic. CONCLUSION: The results show a tendency of appreciation of the vaccines and a tendency of the population to get vaccinated as soon as there is an approved one, especially those that had or are having an education in the healthcare area, showing how the education in health contribute to the adhesion of the population to the vaccines, however the decrease in vaccine coverage is worrying. Also, it is possible to conclude that the population intend to vaccinate against COVID-19 as soon there is an approved vaccine in the country.

Published: October 2022

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess, late, the functionality of patients undergoing surgery to repair the rotator cuff. METHODS: Cross-sectional observational study performed at the UNISA Orthopedics and Rheumatology clinic, approved by the ethics committee followed by CAAE 07824918.0.0000.0081. The sample consisted of individuals who underwent rotator cuff repair for at least two years and who have already undergone postoperative rehabilitation. For the evaluation, a specific self-report questionnaire was applied to assess rotator cuff dysfunctions, the WORC, and the FIT-HaNSA test, a functional test that consists of performing 3 tasks that require the elevation of the upper limb. RESULTS: A convenience sample of 9 individuals participated in this study, of both genders (5 men and 4 women) with a mean age of 54.1 years (± 3.4 years). The results in all the tasks of the FIT-HaNSA test, showed a greater functional deficit in the operated limb compared to the contralateral limb. In the WORC questionnaire, the sample subjects showed better scores as the post-surgical time increased. CONCLUSION: Although sample participants demonstrate better results in WORC over time, in the functionality test it was observed that patients undergoing rotator cuff repair have a long-term deficit in functionality, even after undergoing rehabilitation.

Authors: Gasbarro Ferreira Nathalia , Torres Dias Letícia , Tiemi Shio Marina
Published: October 2022

OBJECTIVE: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is directly related to carcinoma of the cervix, oropharynx, anus, and penis. HPV infection can be prevented by vaccination and since 2017. Both boys and girls have free access to the vaccine by Public Health System. The present study aimed to carry out an epidemiological survey on HPV vaccination in boys, between 2017 and 2018 at the Dr. Afrânio de Mello Franco municipal elementary school. METHODS: A transversal, descriptive and analytical study was carried out. The data were collected through the application of a questionnaire to those responsible for the children. RESULTS: It was observed that the vast majority of those responsible for the boys were women (90.48%). In general, 36.84% did not adhere to the HPV vaccination campaign, although 97.37% of them considered vaccination important, regardless whether they adhered or not to the vaccination campaign. Among the main reasons for the non-adherence was the lack of knowledge that boys can get the vaccine (42.86%), the age that they could receive the vaccine (21.43%), and the lack of time (21.43%). CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that non-adherence to vaccination in boys is mainly due to the lack of information on the vaccine, the HPV infection, correlation of the infection with cancer of the penis and cervix. Dissemination of that knowledge, mainly by television might improve adherence to the HPV vaccination.

Published: October 2022

OBJECTIVE: To compare the measurements of neck circumference, waist circumference, and body mass index (BMI) between obese and eutrophic children. METHODS: Cross-sectional research, using primary and case control data, with a comparative approach of anthropometric variables, carried out with 218 students, 119 girls and 99 boys, from a municipal elementary school in São Paulo. Data collected were sex, age, body weight, height, neck circumference (NC), and waist circumference (WC). The BMI was calculated and classified using the BMI growth curve, according to age, in percentiles. For data analysis, non-parametric tests were applied. RESULTS: According to the BMI, 36.2% of the children were overweight when the agreement test was performed between all physical circumference measurements. However, there was a weaker agreement between BMI and NC and between BMI and WC measures. The correlation between the measures was greater between BMI and WC (62%), compared to between BMI and WC and between NC and WC. CONCLUSION: The use of the NC measure, as an additional measure for anthropometric assessment in pediatric patients, is suggested, due to its practicality and as a complement for screening and monitoring childhood obesity.

OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the effect of oral L-glutamine (Gln) supplementation, associated or not with the regular practice of combined-exercise training (CET), on glycemic and lipid profile and systemic inflammatory status in elderly subjects. METHODS: 84 elderly subjects, non-practitioners (NP, n=31) and practitioners of CET (n=53), were supplemented with Gln [0.3g/kg of weight plus 10g of maltodextrin, groups: NP-Gln (n=14), and CET-Gln (n=26)], or placebo [10g of maltodextrin, groups: NP-PL (n=17), and CET-PL (n=27)]. Anthropometric and physical data were assessed. Blood sampling was collected pre and post-30 days of supplementation. RESULTS: NP subgroups showed higher BMI and serum IL-6 levels than CET subgroups before and post-supplementation. Higher serum levels of IL-10 with lower IL-6 and IL-6/IL-10 ratio were observed post-supplementation in the CET-Gln subgroup than pre-supplementation. When the volunteers were separated according to their BMI, higher IL-6 levels were found in all obese (OB) subgroups than in the adequate weight (AW) subgroups before supplementation. This difference was not maintained between OB CET-Gln and AW CET-Gln subgroups post-supplementation. Higher levels of IL-10 with lower IL-6 and IL-6/IL-10 ratio were found in the OB CET-Gln subgroup post-supplementation than pre-supplementation. No differences were found in the glycemic and lipid profile. CONCLUSION: Oral Gln supplementation when associated with the regular practice of CET can modulate the systemic inflammatory status, especially in obese elderly subjects.

Slum Prevalence and Crime incidence in Calabar, Nigeria
Authors: Eteng Salvation , K. Ajom Simon , K. Ajom Simon , M. Etim Ndifreke
Published: October 2022

The problems faced in slums go beyond defacing the city’s aesthetic quality and poor housing supply but extend to crime increase. In Calabar, the weaknesses of the government/development partners towards preparing and implementing urban renewal programmes/projects has resulted in sporadic increase in the prevalence of slums. Obviously, places of functional obsolescence with derelict features create breeding ground for crime to thrive. In Calabar, areas mainly in the city core are characterized with moribund environments, deteriorating/deteriorated housing units and poor sanitation systems all of which points to slum development. Crime is prevalent in such areas hence the need to carry out this study. The study focused on ascertaining slum prevalence and crime incidence. A sample of 400 respondents was taken using Taro Yamene formular. Data were obtained from both primary and secondary sources. Questionnaire and housing/environmental quality checklists were the major instrument for data collection. Data were analysed using relative index, frequencies and percentages. It was noted in the study that slums are prevalent in the study area and it prevalence contribute to increasing crime levels. This is because the absence of certain facilities constrain security operation in the slum prevalent area. The study recommended that there should be urgent urban renewal in the study area. Facilities and infrastructure that will increase security level should also be provided

Published: October 2022

Background:  In search of a solution to the problem that students in Indonesia face in learning English as a foreign language, a strategy called Metacognitive and Paraphrasing strategy is considered to be helpful in helping students develop reading skills.
Purpose: This study aims to determine the effect of using the metacognitive and paraphrasing strategy on students’ reading comprehension.
Design and methods: This study was conducted by using experimental research. The population of this research was the students of the eleventh grade of SMA Methodist 5 Medan. The sample was 80 students of two classes chosen by using cluster random sampling. They were divided into two groups, 40 students in the experimental group and 40 students in the control group. The experimental group was taught using metacognitive and paraphrasing strategy while the control group was taught using the conventional method. The instrument for collecting data was 20 items of multiple-choice tests. It was given in pre-test and pos-test. After collecting the data, then the researcher analyzed the data by using t-test formula.
Results: The finding showed that the t-observe was 4.099 and t-table 1.990 at the level of significance ( α = 0.05  ) and the degree of freedom (df) 78. It means that observe is higher than t-table (4.099 > 1.990). Therefore, the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. It is proven that there was a significant effect of using metacognitive and paraphrasing strategy on students’ reading comprehension of narrative text.

O conceito de responsabilidade na ótica de Hannah Arendt e Emmanuel Lévinas
Authors: Silva Romero Júnior Venâncio , Iuri Ribeiro dos Santos
Published: October 2022

Resumo: O presente artigo reflete sobre o tema da “responsabilidade” no pensamento filosófico de Hannah Arendt (1906 - 1975) e Emmanuel Lévinas (1906 - 1995) com a intenção de demonstrar as nuances e particularidades de cada autor e ao mesmo tempo realizando uma atualização da reflexão filosófica destes dois grandes pensadores do século XX. Para Arendt, o conceito de responsabilidade perpassa tanto o aspecto pessoal quanto coletivo acentuando a dimensão da política e aparece de forma sistemática em escritos a partir do seu livro Eichmann em Jerusalém (1963). Já para Lévinas, o conceito de responsabilidade está intrinsecamente ligado à sua concepção de ética como filosofia primeira. Encontramos uma maior exposição deste conceito nas obras Totalidade e Infinito (1961), Ética e Infinito (1982), Deus, a Morte e o Tempo (1993), dentre outras. Ele tem por objetivo tirar a primazia da ontologia e assim propor um novo paradigma para o agir humano. Segundo Lévinas, a exterioridade do rosto manifesta-se quando o outro olha para mim, torno-me responsável por ele, de tal maneira que, mesmo tendo que assumir responsabilidade a seu respeito, a sua responsabilidade incumbe-me, ou seja, o rosto do outro me interpela, me prende em sua ética da responsabilidade. Podemos afirmar que há uma aproximação entre o pensamento de Hannah Arendt e Emmanuel Lévinas, na concordância de ambos, no fato de que não deve haver uma supervalorização do ‘eu’, mas a centralidade deve estar acentuada na alteridade, quer no cuidado com o mundo (Arendt), quer no cuidado com o Outro (Lévinas).
O papel do conhecimento de si na apologética de Pierre Charron
Authors: Ricardo Vinícius Ibañez Mantovani
Published: October 2022

No presente artigo pretendemos detalhar o papel do conhecimento de si no Les Trois Vérités de Pierre Charron. Por tratar-se de um autor ainda pouco conhecido em nosso país, iniciaremos nosso estudo com uma pequena biografia sua. Isto feito, procederemos a uma análise do status do autoconhecimento nos Ensaios de Michel de Montaigne, mais para demarcar as diferenças do que para assinalar as continuidades existentes entre os dois autores. Na sequência, exporemos a concepção de conhecimento de si charroniana tal como trabalhada no De la Sagesse. Finalmente, dedicar-nos-emos à análise do terceiro capítulo do Les Trois Vérités, onde Charron investiga as causas que levam alguns indivíduos ao ateísmo para, deste modo, libertá-los das amarras que os impedem de abraçar a fé.
Movimento como base cognoscitiva para a elaboração da Primeira Prova da existência de Deus em Tomás de Aquino
Authors: Anderson Frezzato
Published: October 2022

Durante a história da Filosofia foram elaboradas muitas provas da existência de Deus. Este artigo visa abordar o pensamento de Tomás de Aquino na elaboração da sua Primeira Prova da existência de Deus, descritas na Suma Theologia e na Suma contra os Gentios. Para tanto, Tomás vai buscar na filosofia antiga, mormente em Aristóteles, recebendo e atualizando as argumentações sobre o Motor Imóvel aristotélico presente nas obras Física e Metafísica. Ambos concordam que existe movimento nas coisas sensíveis. Esta certeza advém justamente das experiências dos sentidos, ou seja, da empiria. Tomás aceita a noção de que os seres se movem. O movimento é singularmente a passagem da potência ao ato. No entanto, Tomás foi buscar a causa desse movimento que nas suas argumentações é o Motor Imóvel, isto é, Deus. No fundo, o tomismo, em relação ao aristotelismo, pode ser apresentado como continuidade e diálogo: objetivo, coerente e científico.
