Os processos na atividade de escrita: estudo com base na escrita colaborativa
Authors: Barbeiro Luís
Published: June 2022

Neste artigo, adotamos uma perspectiva funcional, baseada na estrutura experiencial do sistema de transitividade proposto pela Linguística Sistêmico-Funcional (LSF). De acordo com esta perspectiva, consideramos no estudo as diversas esferas contextuais que envolvem o processo de escrita, desde o contexto imediato da situação ao contexto alargado de cultura, e tomamos como unidade de análise cada processo, expresso pelo verbo, à volta do qual se organiza a oração, enquanto unidade de configuração experiencial. O objetivo do estudo consiste em verificar a existência de progressão quanto à configuração experiencial do processo de escrita dos alunos do ensino básico português, revelada pelos processos que emergem no discurso durante a escrita colaborativa. Foram analisadas as transcrições da interação em grupo, em diferentes anos de escolaridade (do segundo ao oitavo ano). A análise focou-se na frequência e peso relativo da distribuição dos processos pelos diversos níveis contextuais e pelos diferentes tipos de processos segundo a categorização da LSF (materiais, relacionais, mentais, verbais, comportamentais e existenciais). Os resultados não evidenciam diferenças entre os níveis de escolaridade quanto ao peso dos diferentes tipos de processo, mas revelam um peso crescente do contexto alargado, ao qual os alunos vão buscar o conhecimento de conteúdo a integrar no texto e das características do gênero textual, e também o peso crescente dos processos ligados à gênese textual. Esta progressão aponta para o potencial de estratégias que alarguem o conteúdo ativado e as formulações consideradas no processo de escrita.

Published: June 2022

Biodiesel properties have a significant impact on engine performance. The disadvantages of biodiesel include poor atomization. To overcome this problem, engine parameters such as the injection angle can be changed. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of changes in the injection angle of an injector pump on the performance of a diesel engine fueled with various biodiesel blends. The experimental design involved testing three injection angles: 26°, 28°, and 30°; and four biodiesel blends: B0, B8, B15, and B20. The effects of variations in these factors were evaluated in terms of the maximum power, rotation at maximum power, torque at maximum power, maximum torque, rotation at maximum torque, specific fuel consumption, engine elasticity index, torque reserve, and rotation reserve. The engine fueled with the biodiesel blends showed a lower specific consumption without losing power or torque, when the crank angle of the injector pump was changed from its original configuration of 26° to 28°.

Published: June 2022

The demand for the consumption of milk and dairy products by the consumer market is very high. This makes it difficult to analyze the large number of milk samples for quality. In addition to the requirement to consider many quality attributes, there are usually large number of producers, who need daily milk evaluations. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficiency of fuzzy logic in decision making for the classification of milk. In the fuzzification stage, physical and chemical characteristics of the milk were considered as input linguistic variables. For each linguistic variable, pertinence functions were created, and these were made considering the trapezoidal forms. In the inference stage, rules were established for the association of linguistic variables and output variables (adulterated, inadequate and adequate). To verify the efficiency of the modeled system, 1,000 adulterated, inadequate and adequate milk samples were computationally simulated. Precision was verified when automating decision making in the classification of milk by the fuzzy logic, totaling 100% of correctness. Therefore, the fuzzy system is an efficient tool for the classification of milk and can be used advantageously by professionals in the field in order to reduce human and financial resources.

Published: June 2022

The School Bus Routing Problem (SBRP) is widely discussed in the operations research literature and can be solved by several exact methods and heuristics. This problem seeks to designate the most efficient routes for a fleet of school buses, minimizing the total distance covered and considering variables such as bus stop locations, number of passengers, and the assigned destination for each of them. This study aims at solving a real case SBRP of a small-sized county located in the state of Paraná. The proposed method is based on the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP) and Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) combined with a heuristic correction that guarantees sequence constraints, in which the student has to be collected before visiting their destination school. It was possible to obtain two routes of 30.76 km and 17.42 km respectively and both with the total vehicles’ capacity of 24 students, which corresponds to the reduction of about 10% in the daily distance covered by two buses.
Daylighting evaluation in deep plan office buildings with OPV windows through simulation on Radiance
Authors: Seki Uehara Letícia Karine , Leoni Schmid Aloísio
Published: June 2022

This research aims to evaluate the OPV window (OPVW) potential application in a deep-plan multi-storey office building, in order to verify its contribution to indoor daylighting quality. OPVW is a cost-effective technology with reduced environmental impact, suitable for application in a multi-story office building due to its potential to adapt to different architectural configurations, lightness and transparency, etc. In an earlier study developed by the authors, an experiment was conducted with a generic office room scale model. Three window materials were compared under real sky conditions (overcast and clear): 3 mm single glass (A scenarios); single glass with OPV (B scenarios); and single glass with application of solar control film (C scenarios). In the present study the same parameters from the experiment were used as input for simulations on Radiance, whose results were compared to previous (work plane illuminance, Daylight Factor and model interior photographs). We found similarities between them. Thus, further results were produced: isolux curves, Daylight Glare Index and render images. The rendered images show a brighter view at A scenarios, and at B and C scenarios. Even if average illuminance is reduced, a better daylight distribution and a reduction in glare are achieved. DGI indicates perceptible glare for some of A scenarios. On the other hand, at most of B and C scenarios, glare was below the perceptible range. Furthermore, the scenarios with OPVW (B scenarios) still show one more advantage: the energy production for artificial lighting when illuminance values are not sufficient.

Knowledge and awareness on deceased donor skin harvest among intensive care units' staffs in national hospital of Sri Lanka
Authors: Kanesu Sivasuganthan , Ekanayake Gayan
Published: June 2022

Introduction:

Skin coverage is a greatest challenge in severe burns when the donor sites are limited. Early skin cover is important to reduce morbidity and mortality in severe burns. We use to harvest skin from cadavers at intensive care units (ICUs) for temporary cover of excised burn wounds. As we do not get enough cadaveric donations from ICUs, we plan to conduct this study to identify awareness and knowledge on it.

Methods:

We collected data from doctors and nurses working in surgical ICUs (general surgical, accident and emergency, and neurosurgical) by a self-administered questionnaire. Then, we analyzed the results by SPSS 19 data package.

Results:

One hundred and forty participants responded to our questionnaire including 118 nurses and 22 doctors. Only 40% (n = 48) of nurses and 60% (n = 13) of doctors were aware about cadaveric skin donation. Only 31% (n = 44) knew that tissue or blood matching is not needed for it. 88% (n = 124) knew that graft is mainly taken from thighs. Some responded as skin of the patients with comorbidities cannot be used for the transplant. Twelve percent (n = 18) knew whom to contact when the patient for cadaveric skin transplant is identified. Only 17% (n = 24) thinks that it does not cause much disfigurement to the cadaver. Thirteen percent (n = 18) did not know any details about skin donation.

Conclusion:

There is a knowledge deficit in ICU staffs regarding awareness and knowledge on cadaveric skin harvest. We could not compare the doctors and nurses as there were less participants in doctors. In ICUs, an awareness campaign is required. In future, this concept should be assessed in general public as well.
Treatment delayed is treatment denied

Published: June 2022

Background:

The primary care of a burn victim focuses on the resuscitation. The burns wound draws the attention, with interest of the provider as well as the patient waning after the healing of the wound. “Late burn care” is an important part of burns management that, if delayed, results in the formation of contractures. Simple methods suh as early skin grafting, splintage, and physical therapy prevent the development of these debilitating contractures. Despite this, postburns contractures are a common sequelae.

Aims and Objectives:

The aim of this paper is to identify the lacunae in late primary care, provided to patients presenting to us with postburn contractures. Materials: A review of all patients admitted with postburns contractures from January 2016 to December 2018, was done.

Results:

A total of 427 patients were admitted in this period out of which 254 responded for the interviews. The epidemiology of postburn contractures has been described. The lacunae in late primary burn care have been identified.

Conclusion:

Critical contracture areas are areas, which although innocuous in terms of body surface area burnt, have a high propensity to form contractures and require special care. Public health programs, effective in combating diseases like polio and tuberculosis, can also help preventing burn contractures. Spreading awareness about the basic tenets of contracture prevention will drastically reduce the burden of burn contractures.

Published: June 2022

Inhalation of thinners is known to have systemic toxic effects on the human body. Despite this, thinners have been abused for mood alteration. Accidental injury following thinner inhalation includes burns from the ignition of volatile substance or secondary trauma (as the patient loses consciousness). Chemical burn from prolonged contact with thinner-containing toluene may occur, although rare. We present a case of accidental burn injury resulting from prolonged contact with spilled thinner.
Tips for management of postburn neck contracture
Authors: Kumar Parmod
Published: June 2022

Postburn neck contractures are frequent sequelae after deep thermal burns. They are a significant cause of morbidity and pose a serious challenge for anesthesia. In developing countries, lack of adequate burn care infrastructure, training, and workforce leads to the occurrence of multiple postburn deformities. Wound healing can never occur without wound bed contraction. Therefore, the best treatment for any problem related to burn wound contraction is to prevent or at least reduce its severity. The same is the case with postburn contractures and deformities. The use of simple measures can prevent or at least limit the severity of deformities even when used by trained paramedics and nursing staff.

Published: June 2022

Background:

Laparoscopic hepatectomy with a small incision, light abdominal wall trauma and rapid postoperative recovery has been widely used in the surgical treatment of benign liver diseases. However, the occurrence of complications, such as deep-vein thrombosis, associated with laparoscopic techniques has raised concerns. This study aimed to investigate the factors influencing the development of a hypercoagulable state in patients following laparoscopic hepatic haemangioma resection.

Materials and Methods:

Between 2017 and 2019, 78 patients to be treated by laparoscopic hepatic haemangioma resection were selected prospectively for the study. The differences in relevant clinical factors between patients with and without blood hypercoagulability at 24 h after surgery were compared, and the factors influencing the development of blood hypercoagulability after surgery were analysed.

Results:

The study included 78 patients, split into the hypercoagulable group (n = 27) and nonhypercoagulable group (n = 51). Compared with patients who did not develop blood hypercoagulability, patients who did had significantly higher preoperative levels of fibrinogen (Fib), D-dimer (D-Di), fibrinogen degradation products (FDP), platelet count (PLT), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and history of hyperlipidaemia whereas high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels were significantly lower (P < 0.05.) in hypercoagulable group. Univariate and multifactorial logistic regression analyses showed that a history of hyperlipidaemia, Fib ≥3.83 g/L, D-Di ≥9.12 μg/ml, FDP ≥14.64 μg/ml, PLT ≥292 × 109/L, HDL-C ≥1.25 mmol/L and LDL-C ≥2.03 mmol/L was the most common independent risk factors for the development of a hypercoagulable state of blood in patients after laparoscopic hepatic haemangioma resection (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:

For patients undergoing laparoscopic hepatic haemangioma resection, attention should be paid to the development of a hypercoagulable state in those with the risk factors described in this study.
PHEV Energy Management Optimization Based on Multi-Island Genetic Algorithm
Authors:   Wuhan University of Technology, Li Yan , Luo Yuhao ,   Wuhan University of Technology, Lu Xin ,   Wuhan University of Technology
Published: June 2022

The plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) gradually moves into the mainstream market with its excellent power and energy consumption control, and has become the research target of many researchers. The energy management strategy of plug-in hybrid vehicles is more complicated than conventional gasoline vehicles. Therefore, there are still many problems to be solved in terms of power source distribution and energy saving and emission reduction. This research proposes a new solution and realizes it through simulation optimization, which improves the energy consumption and emission problems of PHEV to a certain extent. First, on the basis that MATLAB software has completed the modeling of the key components of the vehicle, the fuzzy controller of the vehicle is established considering the principle of the joint control of the engine and the electric motor. Afterwards, based on the Isight and ADVISOR co-simulation platform, with the goal of ensuring certain dynamic performance and optimal fuel economy of the vehicle, the multi-island genetic algorithm is used to optimize the parameters of the membership function of the fuzzy control strategy to overcome it to a certain extent. The disadvantages of selecting parameters based on experience are compensated for, and the efficiency and feasibility of fuzzy control are improved. Finally, the PHEV vehicle model simulation comparison was carried out under the UDDS working condition through ADVISOR software. The optimization results show that while ensuring the required power performance, the vehicle fuzzy controller after parameter optimization using the multi-island genetic algorithm is more efficient, which can significantly reduce vehicle fuel consumption and improve exhaust emissions.

Artykuł przedstawia ewolucję stanu personalnego klasztoru franciszkanów (Braci Mniejszych Konwentualnych) w Kaliszu w l. 1864-1902. W 1864 r. carat przeprowadził kasatę klasztoru w Królestwie Polskim. Kilkanaście klasztorów zostało jednak zachowanych od kasaty jako tzw. klasztory etatowe – przeznaczone na dożywotnie pomieszczenie zakonników z klasztorów skasowanych. Klasztor w Kaliszu został uznany za klasztor etatowy. Zaraz po kasacie przybyli do niego zakonnicy z innych klasztorów franciszkanów, co sprawiło, że w pierwszej chwili liczba zakonników wzrosła do przeszło 50. Wkrótce jednak nastąpiły zgony, wyjazdy na emigrację, a część zakonników przeszła do duszpasterstwa parafialnego. Wskutek tego liczba zakonników w klasztorze w Kaliszu stopniowo zmniejszała się, tak, że w 1902 r. pozostało ich tylko trzech. W tym stanie rzeczy władze carskie zarządziły zamknięcie klasztoru w Kaliszu. From the history of the Monastery of Franciscans in Kalisz 1864-1902. State. Article is describing acrobatics of the state of the personal monastery of Franciscans (of Brothers Smaller Konwentualnych) in Kalisz in 1864-1902 years. In 1864 the tsarism conducted the dissolution of the monastery in the Congress Kingdom of Poland established in 1815 at the Congress of Vienna. However a dozen or so monasteries stayed kept from the dissolution as so-called full-time monasteries – intended to the life room of monks from monasteries deleted. The monastery in Kalisz was recognized as the monastery full-time. Right after the dissolution monks arrived in it from other monasteries of Franciscans, what it bought, that at first the number of monks had risen to over 50. Soon however demises came, to the emigration, but the part of monks experienced trips to of parish pastoral work. As a result number of monks at the monastery in Kalisz gradually she reduced, in such a way that in 1902 them only three remained these days. In this state of affairs tsarist authorities ordered closing the monastery in Kalisz.
Pionierzy aktywności fizycznej w Kaliszu
Authors: Jaroszewski Julian
Published: June 2022

Początki aktywności fizycznej w Kaliszu miały charakter utylitarny, np. szkolenie strzeleckie członków Bractwa Kurkowego (Koła Rycerskiego) służyło przygotowaniom do obrony miasta. W szkołach za taką aktywność można uznać zanotowany już w średniowieczu zwyczaj wycieczek za miasto. W kolejnych latach systematyczne zajęcia z szermierki, musztry, tańca, a nawet pływania, odnajdujemy w programach Korpusu Kadetów w Kaliszu. Natomiast za pierwsze wydarzenie sportowe w tym mieście należy uznać długodystansowy bieg Hieronima Pawłowskiego w 1834 r., a sześć lat później również kobiety ‒ Karoliny Panekert. Rozwój zorganizowanego ruchu sportowego w Kaliszu zainicjowali na przełomie XIX i XX w. wielbiciele rowerów i powołali Kaliskie Towarzystwo Cyklistów (1892), za nimi wodniacy ‒ Kaliskie Towarzystwo Wioślarskie (1894). Następnie powstało Towarzystwo Gimnastyczne „Sokół” (1906), Żydowski Klub Gimnastyczno- -Sportowy (1913) i Polskie Towarzystwo Krajoznawcze w Kaliszu (1908).

The pioneers of physical activity in Kalisz

The beginnings of physical activity in Kalisz were of utilitarian character, e.g. shooting training of the Brotherhood of the Rooster (Chivallry Club) served as a preparation to the defence of the town. Out of town trips had been regarded as such an activity since the Middle Ages. In subsequent years systematic fencing, drill, dance or swimming classes can be found in Kalisz Cadet Corp programmes. As the first sports event, however, there shall be regarded a long- distance race of Hieronim Pawłowski in 1834 and six years later the one of a woman Karolina Panekert. The development of formal sports movement in Kalisz was initiated at the turn of the 20th century by fans of cycling who established the Kalisz Society of Cycling (1892). Later on, the Kalisz Rowing Club (1894) established by water sports’ fans. Then, „Sokół” Gymnastic Club (1906 ), Jewish Gymnastic and Sports Club (1913) and Polish Sightseeing Society (1908) followed.

Authors: Grzelczak Piotr
Published: June 2022

10 lipca 1921 roku marszałek Józef Piłsudski przyjechał do Konina. Głównym celem jego całodniowej wizyty była uroczystość wręczenia sztandaru stacjonującemu w mieście 18. Pułkowi Piechoty, który ufundowali mieszkańcy powiatów: konińskiego, kolskiego i słupeckiego. Przyjazd J. Piłsudskiego śmiało może pretendować do jednego z najważniejszych wydarzeń w dziejach Konina w dwudziestym wieku. Przez biografów marszałka owa wizyta była dotąd pomijana, bądź odnotowywana jedynie zdawkowo, choć stanowiła istotny fragment znacznie dłuższej podróży J. Piłsudskiego po Kujawach i Wielkopolsce. W artykule zrekonstruowano przebieg pobytu Naczelnika Państwa w Koninie. Stanowi on zarazem próbę osadzenia omawianej wizyty w nieco bardziej rozległym kontekście: związanym m.in. z aktywnością polityczną marszałka, kształtowaniem jego wizerunku w świadomości żołnierzy Wojska Polskiego i mieszkańców szeroko pojętej prowincji.

„Historic day”. Józef Piłsudski in Konin (10 july 1921).

On 10 July 1921, Józef Piłsudski, the Marshal of Poland came to Konin. The main purpose of his one-day visit in this city was giving the military flag to the 18th Infantry Regiment. This flag was founded by people of counties of Konin, Koło and Słupca. This visit can easily pretend to be one of the most important events of the history of Konin in the 20th century. By far it was either omitted or superficially noted by Piłsudski’s biographers, although this visit was an essential part of much longer Piłsudski’s journey round Kujawy and Wielkopolska. This article is the reconstruction of the course of Józef Piłsudski’s visit. It is also an attempt to put this visit in slightly wider context, connected for example with his political activity, with shaping his public image in consciousness of either the Polish Military soldiers and counties’ residents.

Published: June 2022

In any school system, sanitary facilities can have a major effect on the productivity of staff and students, thus safe, adequate sanitation is essential to the academic programme. This study is part of a pilot project to determine the perceptions staff have of the effects of malodours from toilets on productivity and morale, at two schools. One school (School A) is located on the periphery of an urban area and had a septic tank system with inadequate toilet maintenance. The other school (School B) was in a well-established urban area with a flush latrine system, connected to municipal sewage pipes. Through a self-administered questionnaire we determined that School A had a very poor sanitation system that produced unbearable malodours that affected health, productivity and morale at the school, whereas School B had a healthy, well-maintained sanitation system that produced little odour. The malodour at School A had a negative effect on pupil attendance and staff morale at the school. The significant finding of the research was that all staff who participated indicated that malodours from either a flush latrine or a septic tank system could affect productivity of staff and students in the school environment.

Currently, various criteria and indicators are used to assess the heavy metal pollution of agricultural lands. The background concentration of heavy metals in soil, the hygienic standards established for them and the differentiated standards, which are based on the threshold limit values of such elements in various soils, can be used as criteria for assessing the ecological state of agricultural lands. The threshold limit values are developed taking into account the background concentration of the element, its hygienic standard, soil buffering capacity and the land-use purpose. The use of differentiated standards allows proper quality control of agricultural lands in terms of environmentally hazardous chemicals and choosing the option for safe use of contaminated agricultural land.

In the food industry a large amount of solid and liquid waste is produced during production, preparation and consumption. When these wastes are given directly to the environment, they cause environmental pollution and the loss of valuable biomass and nutrients. In food factories, large amounts of food wastes, called by-products, are formed as a result of the process, and many of these are immediately destroyed or used to produce products with low economic value (animal feed, fertilizer, etc.) using lower technologies.

Modified nucleoside 8-bromoadenosine possessing high reactive capacity may serve as a basic compound for the synthesis of a large number of purine antimetabolites showing potentially therapeutic activities toward several tumor and viral diseases. In this study, 8-bromoadenosine was produced by a simple eco-friendly procedure following the treatment of nucleoside precursor adenosine with aqueous bromine solution. In the course of enzymatic transphosphatidylation reaction, the first synthesis of phospholipid derivative of the above-mentioned nucleoside -5‘-(1,2-dimyristoyl phosphatidyl)-8-bromoadenosine was accomplished. Novel compounds may presumably act as non-toxic progenitors of bioactive antimetabolites to be used in drug formulas.

The ecological state of the Seret River was assessed by studying the physicochemical parameters of the river reservoir (the content of dissolved oxygen, water temperature), biogenic substances (phosphorus compounds) and comparing them with the literature data on the development of phytoplankton, in particular, blue-green algae. It is analyzed that an increase in the concentration of phosphorus in the reservoir contributes to an increase in the biomass of phytoplankton, and with a decrease in the content of phosphates, the number of phytoplankton decreases, which may be a consequence of an increased anthropogenic impact on the reservoir. The development of eutrophication processes in the Seret River was established, which can be prevented by a decrease in the flow of pollutants into the river and compliance with sanitary rules at the water intake.
