Sobre los otros cimborrios aragoneses
Authors: Ibáñez Fernández Javier
Published: January 2022

Dentro de la variedad de soluciones adoptadas en la construcción de cimborrios en territorio aragonés a lo largo de la Edad Media, querríamos focalizar nuestra atención en el modelo desarrollado en la catedral de Zaragoza a caballo entre los siglos XIV y XV, que debió de conocer una considerable fortuna, al menos, en el contexto geográfico más inmediato. Así se desprende del análisis del contrato para la construcción del lucernario de la iglesia de San Juan de Vallupié de Calatayud (Zaragoza) (1456), el único acuerdo firmado para la materialización de una estructura de este tipo del que se tiene constancia, que se transcribe en este artículo por primera vez. En efecto, el documento permite descubrir que el tipo estructural desarrollado en la capital aragonesa trató de reproducirse en al menos otras dos fábricas, igualmente desaparecidas: los cimborrios de San Andrés y San Juan de Vallupié de Calatayud.
Digital models applied to the typological analysis of the olive oil mills with beam and weight presses in Écija
Authors: Moya-Muñoz Jorge , Pinto-Puerto Francisco
Published: January 2022

For centuries, mills with beam and weight presses have been the production units used in the town of Écija to obtain the oil. The intensification of olive tree cultivation in the 18th century gave rise to the proliferation of these constructions throughout the town, which at one point was home to no less than 286 mills of this type. However, by the mid-20th century events surrounding the local olive groves caused many of them to fall into disuse. Nowadays, the mills present an advanced state of decay, to the extent that many of them have disappeared partly or completely. In view of the functional nature of these production units and the short space of time in which they were built, we decided to conduct a typological study aimed at identifying any common patterns in their design. The geometric and proportional relationships between their constituent parts obtained using digital information models (Geographic Information System (GIS), 3D point clouds and databases) enabled us to determine standard structures based on ranges of deduced values. The repetition of these patterns suggested that it would be useful to create a graphical database using a parameterised HBIM (Historic Building Information Modelling), which in turn facilitates the introduction of attributes associated with these mills from a dynamic database, therefore favouring interoperability in heritage management as a response to the critical situation of the mills today. At the same time, the correspondence in the relationships of proportionality between the mills analysed typologically and the model of a 16th-century mill, suggests that 18th-century mills were adapted to patterns developed in older presses.Highlights:- The typological study of the Écija (Seville) mills with beam and weight presses reveals common patterns in these preindustrial buildings.- The proportional relationships between their constituent parts obtained using digital information models enabled us to determine standard structures. - These patterns have similarly enabled us to generate a parameterised HBIM model as a standard graphical base for the historical mills in Écija.
ANÁLISE DA SEGREGAÇÃO SOCIOESPACIAL EM UBERLÂNDIA-MG A PARTIR DE CONJUNTOS HABITACIONAIS (2009-2016)
Authors: RODRIGO DE ARAÚJO  , LUSSANDRA MARTINS GIANASI
Published: January 2022

Este artigo analisou o processo de segregação socioespacial a partir de conjuntos habitacionais, em Uberlândia-MG de 2009 a 2016. Como procedimentos metodológicos, foram utilizados os levantamentos bibliográfico, documental e cartográfico, sendo possível, portanto, evidenciar a localização periférica de tais conjuntos habitacionais em contraste com grandes vazios urbanos. Além disso, investigou a regulamentação e a aplicação das leis de Parcelamento, Edificação ou da Utilização Compulsórios (PEUC) e o Imposto Predial e Territorial Urbano (IPTU) progressivo no tempo, que ocorreram de forma lenta e controversa no município de Uberlândia-MG, resultando na manutenção da especulação imobiliária. Ademais, foi possível compreender de que forma o mercado imobiliário e as construtoras participam e se apropriam dos programas habitacionais, bem como eles atuam junto ao poder público local no que concerne à localização de tais conjuntos habitacionais, evidenciando a prevalência dos interesses de mercado sobre a função social da propriedade urbana.
Early Modern German Shakespeare: Titus Andronicus and The Taming of the Shrew
Authors: Shakespeare William
Published: January 2022

This book provides translations of early German versions of Titus Andronicus and The Taming of the Shrew. The introductory material situates these plays in their German context and discusses the insights they offer into the original English texts.

English itinerant players toured in northern Continental Europe from the 1580s. Their repertories initially consisted of plays from the London theatre, but over time the players learnt German, and German players joined the companies, meaning the dramatic texts were adapted and translated into German. There are four plays that can legitimately be considered as versions of Shakespeare’s plays. The present volume (volume 2) offers fully-edited translations of two of them: Tito Andronico (Titus Andronicus) and Kunst über alle Künste, ein bös Weib gut zu machen / An Art beyond All Arts, to Make a Bad Wife Good (The Taming of the Shrew). For the other two plays, Der Bestrafte Brudermord / Fratricide Punished (Hamlet) and Romio und Julieta (Romeo and Juliet), see volume 1. These plays are of great interest not only to all Shakespeareans, but also to scholars who are concerned with the broader issues of translation, performance and textual transmission over time.

Grundlagen der Abwasserwärmenutzung.
Authors: Hamann Achim
Published: January 2022

Der Ressourcen- und Energieverbrauch von Gebäuden ist einer der wichtigsten Aspekte der Energieeffizienz von Gebäudeplanung und -betrieb, weshalb im Zuge von nachhaltiger Bau- und Betriebsweise jede Energieressource genutzt wird.

Die Abwasserwärmenutzung als sehr großes, nicht ausgeschöpftes Potenzial stellt eine wichtige Komponente beim energieeffizienten Betrieb von Gebäuden dar.

Abwasserwärmenutzung ist relevant für Neubauten, Umbauten und Erweiterungen, aber auch für die gesamte Stadterneuerung oder für Quartiere. Der Autor zeigt, dass Abwasserwärmenutzung in vielen Fällen wirtschaftlich ist.

Das Buch soll helfen, die Voraussetzungen für den Einsatz der Abwasserwärmenutzung bei Neubauten oder Bestandssanierungen zu prüfen. Deshalb werden die Grundlagen erläutert, die für die Abwasserwärmenutzung von Belang sind und durch die Darstellung von beispielhaften Anwendungen ergänzt. Nacheinander wird auf rechtliche und physikalische Grundlagen sowie wirtschaftliche Zusammenhänge eingegangen, darauf aufbauend werden Wärmetauschersysteme dargestellt. Auf dieser Grundlage wird ein Leitfaden zur Projektbearbeitung erstellt und ein Projektbeispiel vorgestellt.

Der Autor versteht das Buch als Beitrag zum interdisziplinären Zusammenwirken der im Bauwesen Beteiligten, es soll also ein Leitfaden für Architekten, Ingenieure und Stadtplaner, aber auch für Facilitymanager, Investoren, Projektentwickler, Banken, Kommunalpolitiker, Abwasseranlagenbetreiber und Energiecontractoren sein.
Hochwasserschutz und Denkmalpflege.
Authors: Lieske Heiko , Schmidt Erika , Will Thomas
Published: January 2022

Hochwasserschutzbauten zählen zu den aufwendigen Bauvorhaben der öffentlichen Vorsorge. Als technische Großstrukturen verändern sie dauerhaft die Standorte, die sie schützen sollen. Dabei kommen sie häufig in Konflikt mit deren baulichen und landschaftlichen Qualitäten.

Hochwasserschutz sollte deshalb über das wasserbauliche Ziel hinaus als komplexe Entwicklungsmaßnahme angegangen werden, bei der es auch um die Erhaltung kulturhistorischer Werte und siedlungsräumlicher Qualitäten geht.

Die Autoren geben einen Überblick über Formen des baulichen Hochwasserschutzes an Flüssen und zeigen die Auswirkungen auf Kulturdenkmale und historische Stadtbereiche auf. Die Darstellung der Einzelfälle mündet in Leitlinien zur Gestaltung der Planungs- und Entscheidungsprozesse sowie zur baulichen Integration von Hochwasserschutz und Denkmalpflege.
Gênero neutro e design gráfico: uma análise discursiva das marcas de cosméticos Simple Organic e Fluide | Gender neutral design: a discursive analysis of the design of the cosmetic brands Simple Organic and Fluide
Authors: Rati Bianca Mendes , Beccari Marcos Namba
Published: January 2022

O objetivo deste artigo é indicar, por meio da abordagem arqueológica (de perspectiva foucaultiana), de que maneira discursos a respeito do que é gênero-neutro se relacionam, por meio de duas marcas de cosméticos — Simple Organic e Fluide Beauty —, com a produção de expressões de gênero, em especial aquelas a respeito do discurso do design gênero-neutro. Além da filosofia de Foucault, também se adota como base teórica a Teoria Queer para discutir gênero. Conclui-se com uma reflexão a respeito da proximidade entre neutralidade e design da informação/gráfico, reforçando o papel do design enquanto reprodutor ou questionador de discursos e propondo o levantamento de uma proposta de design anti-normatizante.*****This article is located in the field of discursive studies in design and aims to indicate, through the archaeological approach (from Foucault's perspective), how discourses about what is gender-neutral are related, through two cosmetic brands - Simple Organic and Fluide Beauty -, to the production of gender expressions, especially those regarding the discourse of gender-neutral design. In addition to Foucault's philosophy, Queer Theory is also adopted as a theoretical basis to discuss gender. The results of the analysis reveal two sides of the gender neutral design: normativity and questioning. It concludes with a reflection on the proximity between neutrality and information / graphic design, reinforcing the role of design as a discourse reproducer or questioner and proposing the lifting of an anti-normative design proposal.
Caminhos para o fazer projetual no design de comunicação de risco | Paths to do the project in risk communication design
Authors: Smythe Kelli Cristine Assis Silva
Published: January 2022

Diante da pandemia do novo coronavírus ampliou-se a necessidade da discussão em torno da temática comunicação de risco. A reflexão sobre o fazer design e a adoção de processos que englobassem as especificidades desta temática, nesse contexto, tornou-se premente. Assim, este artigo apresenta um processo de design estabelecido a partir de teorias e discussões realizadas com alunos de graduação. Para tanto, foram realizadas três etapas: [1] “sensibilização” dos alunos com o tema, [2] “proposição” de um processo pertinente à comunicação de risco, realizado a partir da análise de diferentes processos e princípios de design e [3] “reflexão” acerca das dificuldades sobre o fazer projetual a partir do processo estabelecido. Como resultado obteve-se uma estrutura processual com potencial para utilização em design de comunicação de risco.*****In view of the new coronavirus pandemic, the need for discussion around the theme “risk communication” was expanded. The reflection on making design and the adoption of processes that encompass the specificities of this theme in this context has become urgent. Thus, this paper presents a design process established from theories and discussions held with undergraduate students. To this end, three steps were taken: [1] “raising awareness” of students with the theme, [2] “proposing” a process pertinent to risk communication, performed based on the analysis of different design processes and principles and [3] “reflection” about the difficulties on the project making from the established process. As a result, a procedural structure with potential for use in risk communication design was obtained.
Smart logos: a user’s dashboard for the visualisation of meaningful brand experience data
Authors: Lelis Catarina
Published: January 2022

Logos have long been transporting the brand promise, which is confirmed by the carefully defined experiences the audiences have with brands. However, the new paradigms of interaction brought by social media, machine learning and big data have been shifting the power to the audiences, who are increasingly demanding less massified content and more hyper-personalised experiences. Brands have been adapting with flexible approaches, some of them made visible through their dynamic visual identities in which the logos transmogrify in some of their components, rather than being consistently static. In this research, the possibility of dynamic logos becoming smart logos — through which the brands’ audiences/users can define their experiences by visualising personally meaningful brand-related data — is explored. Five creative workshops with users from three university campuses based in the United Kingdom were organised. The created outputs were analysed, and they evidence what is both considered meaningful content and the most natural logo variation mechanisms for data to be displayed and consumed. Finally, a heuristic to support the design of smart logos is proposed and the conceptual model that underpins it and that allows answering the research question is presented.
The relative effectiveness of Piroxicam versus Protease administration in the treatment of acute grade 1 and 2 ankle inversion sprains
Authors:   , Bellingham Simon
Published: January 2022

The purpose of this study was to evaluate Piroxicam versus Protease administration, in terms of subjective and objective clinical findings, in order to determine the effectiveness of each approach in the treatment of grade 1 and 2 acute ankle inversion sprains. The study was a prospective, randomized, double blinded, controlled study. The study involved 30 subjects, 15 in each group which were selected from the general population. One group received Protease and strapping while the other group two received Piroxicam and strapping. Patients received 3 treatments over a period of one week. Patients in the Protease group received 1200mg (3 x 400mg) of Protease daily before meals for seven days. Patients in the Piroxicam group received 40mg (2 x 20mg) of Piroxicam for the first two days, and then 20mg (1 x 20mg) for the following five days, administered with meals. All patients were taught how to apply an elastic crepe bandage to the ankle, which was to be used at all times, except during bathing for the duration of the study
Orthopaedic surgeons, neurologists and neurosurgeons views of the chiropractic profession in South Africa
Authors:   , Rubens Brent-Nolan
Published: January 2022

The purpose of this study was to determine the views of orthopaedic surgeons, neurosurgeons and neurologists with regard to the chiropractic profession in South Africa, in order to establish a knowledge base to facilitate greater understanding and thus co-operation between orthodox medicine and chiropractic. A greater understanding of the effectiveness and benefits of chiropractic by the medical profession could lead to greater co-operation between the two professions. This would allow chiropractic to better administer its' services to the public via unprejudiced free market access to patients and organised patient referral systems. A questionnaire with an introductory letter was mailed to the entire population of orthopaedic surgeons, neurosurgeons and neurologists resident in South Africa who were registered with the South African Medical and Dental Council as at 30 June 1995 (N=619). 164 questionnaires were returned in total, constituting a response rate of 26,5%. The survey consisted of questions regarding the respondents general views on chiropractic, chiropractic therapeutic efficacy, chiropractic scope of practice, inter-professional relations, and chiropractic utilization. The results were statistically analyzed using cross-tabulation and chi-square analysis. The results were represented by means of frequency tables and crosstabulation and graphically represented using bar graphs. The majority of South African neurologists, neurosurgeons and orthopaedic surgeons who responded to the survey were not well informed about chiropractic. Although many respondents believed chiropractic to be effective for some patients, a high percentage were still uncomfortable with chiropractic. Significantly, neurosurgeons who responded to the survey were informed to a greater extent about chiropractic and believed it to be more effective than did neurologists and orthopaedic surgeons (p=O,OI05728). A meaningful number of inter-referrals occurs between chiropractors and neurologists, neurosurgeons and orthopaedic surgeons in South Africa. Neurosurgeons also refer more patients to and receive more referrals from chiropractors than do neurologists or orthopaedic surgeons. The majority of respondents to the survey believed that chiropractic is not important in serving in a primary health care capacity and should adopt a supportive and rehabilitative role in the South African health care system. The majority of respondents to the survey also believed that chiropractic is limited to treating neuro-musculo-skeletal problems and that chiropractic should exist either under medical supervision or as a limited medical profession. The sample size (n=164) of this survey negatively affected the statistical significance of the study. Any similar studies conducted in the future should attempt to increase the sample size so as to avoid under-representation of results.

The Small House Model to Support Older Adults in Long-Term Care
Authors: Longstaff Whitney , Filkowski Jody , Severn Melissa
Published: January 2022

The small house model of long-term care (LTC) is identified internationally by several model names. Although some differences exist between the characteristics of these models (e.g., number of residents, degree of resident freedom, facility design), there are 3 recurring components: functional units with a small group of residents, replication of familiar domestic routines, and some form of decentralized staff.

The key philosophic difference between the small house model and the traditional LTC model is the heavy focus on person-centred care. This approach to care in the small house model is firmly rooted in freedom of choice and autonomy for the residents.

Small house models eliminate the strict delineation of roles; staff at all levels are included in the decision-making process. Self-managed and universal work teams are prominent features of the small house model. Frontline staff with strong interpersonal skills are essential for successful implementation.

No strong trend emerges from the literature with respect to the impact of the small house model on resident-centred outcomes compared with more traditional models of LTC. This is likely due to lack of consistency in the outcomes that are measured and variability among the different small house models. This finding is consistent with other reviews on the topic.

Literature exploring the Canadian experience with small house models is limited. The majority of identified studies used data from the US or European jurisdictions, which potentially limits its generalizability to the Canadian context.
Extension of the AIOMFAC model by iodine and carbonate species: applications for aerosol acidity and cloud droplet activation
Authors: Yin Hang , Dou Jing , Klein Liviana , Krieger Ulrich K. , Bain Alison , Wallace Brandon J. , Preston Thomas C. , Zuend Andreas
Published: January 2022

Abstract. Iodine and carbonate species are important components in marine and dust aerosols, respectively. The non-ideal interactions between these species
and other inorganic and organic compounds within aqueous particle phases affect hygroscopicity, acidity, and gas–particle partitioning of
semivolatile components. In this work, we present an extended version of the Aerosol Inorganic–Organic Mixtures Functional groups Activity
Coefficients (AIOMFAC) model by incorporating the ions I−, IO3-, HCO3-, CO32-, OH−, and
CO2(aq) as new species. First, AIOMFAC ion interaction parameters for aqueous solutions were determined based on available thermodynamic
data, such as water activity, mean molal activity coefficients, solubility, and vapor–liquid equilibrium measurements. Second, the interaction
parameters for the new ions and various organic functional groups were optimized based on experimental data or, where data are scarce, alternative
estimation methods such as multiple linear regression or a simple substitution by analogy approach. Additional bulk water activity and
electrodynamic balance measurements were carried out to augment the database for the AIOMFAC parameter fit. While not optimal, we show that the use
of alternative parameter estimation methods enables physically sound predictions and offers the benefit of a more broadly applicable model. Our
implementation of the aqueous carbonate–bicarbonate–CO2(aq) system accounts for the associated temperature-dependent dissociation
equilibria explicitly and enables closed- or open-system computations with respect to carbon dioxide equilibration with the gas phase. We discuss
different numerical approaches for solving the coupled equilibrium conditions and highlight critical considerations when extremely acidic or basic
mixtures are encountered. The fitted AIOMFAC model performance for inorganic aqueous systems is considered excellent over the whole range of mixture compositions where
reference data are available. Moreover, the model provides physically meaningful predictions of water activity under highly concentrated
conditions. For organic–inorganic mixtures involving new species, the model–measurement agreement is found to be good in most cases, especially at
equilibrium relative humidities above ∼ 70 %; reasons for deviations are discussed. Several applications of the extended model are shown
and discussed, including the effects of ignoring the auto-dissociation of water in carbonate systems, the effects of mixing bisulfate and
bicarbonate compounds in closed- or open-system scenarios on pH and solution speciation, and the prediction of critical cloud condensation nucleus
activation of NaI or Na2CO3 particles mixed with suberic acid.
Towards ice-thickness inversion: an evaluation of global digital elevation models (DEMs) in the glacierized Tibetan Plateau
Authors: Chen Wenfeng , Yao Tandong , Zhang Guoqing , Li Fei , Zheng Guoxiong , Zhou Yushan , Xu Fenglin
Published: January 2022

Abstract. Accurate estimates of regional ice thickness, which are generally produced by ice-thickness inversion models, are crucial for assessments of available freshwater resources and sea level rise. A digital elevation model (DEM) derived from surface topography of glaciers is a primary data source for such models. However, the scarce in situ measurements of glacier surface elevation limit the evaluation of DEM uncertainty. Hence the influence of DEM uncertainty on ice-thickness modeling remains unclear over the glacierized area of the Tibetan Plateau (TP). Here, we examine the performance of six widely used and mainly global-scale DEMs: AW3D30 (ALOS – Advanced Land Observing Satellite – World 3D – 30 m; 30 m), SRTM-GL1 (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission Global 1 arc second; 30 m), NASADEM (NASA Digital Elevation Model; 30 m), TanDEM-X (TerraSAR-X add-on for Digital Elevation Measurement, synthetic-aperture radar; 90 m), SRTM v4.1 (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission; 90 m), and MERIT (Multi-Error-Removed Improved-Terrain; 90 m) over the glacierized TP by comparison with ICESat-2 (Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite) laser altimetry data while considering the effects of glacier dynamics, terrain factors, and DEM misregistration. The results reveal NASADEM to be the best performer in vertical accuracy, with a small mean error (ME) of 0.9 m and a root mean squared error (RMSE) of 12.6 m, followed by AW3D30 (2.6 m ME and 11.3 m RMSE). TanDEM-X also performs well (0.1 m ME and 15.1 m RMSE) but suffers from serious errors and outliers on steep slopes. SRTM-based DEMs (SRTM-GL1, SRTM v4.1, and MERIT) (13.5–17.0 m RMSE) had an inferior performance to NASADEM. Errors in the six DEMs increase from the south-facing to the north-facing aspect and become larger with increasing slope. Misregistration of the six DEMs relative to the ICESat-2 footprint in most glacier areas is small (less than one grid spacing). In a next step, the influence of six DEMs on four ice-thickness inversion models – GlabTop2 (Glacier bed Topography), Open Global Glacier Model (OGGM), Huss–Farinotti (HF), and Ice Thickness Inversion Based on Velocity (ITIBOV) – is intercompared. The results show that GlabTop2 is sensitive to the accuracy of both elevation and slope, while OGGM and HF are less sensitive to DEM quality and resolution, and ITIBOV is the most sensitive to slope accuracy. NASADEM is the best choice for ice-thickness estimates over the whole TP.
A computationally efficient engineering aerodynamic model for swept wind turbine blades
Authors: Li Ang , Pirrung Georg Raimund , Gaunaa Mac , Madsen Helge Aagaard , Horcas Sergio González
Published: January 2022

Abstract. In this work, a computationally efficient engineering model for the aerodynamics of swept wind turbine blades is proposed for the extended blade element momentum (BEM) formulation. The model is modified based on a coupled near- and far-wake model, in which the near wake is assumed to be the first quarter revolution of the non-expanding helical wake of the own blade. For the special case of in-plane trailed vorticity, the original empirical equations determining the steady-state value of the near-wake induction are replaced by the analytical results, which are in the form of incomplete elliptic integrals.
For the general condition of helical trailed vorticities, the steady-state near-wake induction is approximated based on the results of the special conditions and a correction factor. The factor is calculated using empirical equations with influence coefficient tensors, to minimize the computational effort. These influence coefficient tensors are pre-calculated and are fitted to the results from the numerical integration of the Biot–Savart law. With the indicial function approach, it is not necessary to explicitly save the information of the vorticities that were trailed in the previous time steps. This engineering approach is a combination of analytical results and numerical approximations, with low and constant computational effort for each time step. The proposed model is practically applicable to time-marching aero-servo-elastic simulations.
The results of the swept blades with uniform inflow perpendicular to the rotor calculated from the proposed model are compared with the results from a BEM code, a lifting-line solver and a Navier–Stokes solver. The significantly improved agreement with the higher-fidelity models compared to the BEM method highlights the performance of the proposed method.
Gender Bias and Stereotypes in Medicine: A Medical Student Experience
Authors: Jezzini-Martinez Sofia , Gonzalez-Cruz Daniela C.
Published: January 2022

Gender bias is a universal phenomenon that is strongly embedded in human society. Its omnipresence originates consequences that have a lasting structural impact. Despite social, scientific, and cultural changes, gender discrimination remains prevalent in the twenty-first century. In this paper, we describe a situation in which a medical student was discouraged by a professor when she expressed the professional path she intended to pursue in the future just because of her gender. In addition, we discuss possible solutions such as raising awareness, developing educational programs, increasing women representation, and addressing everyone’s needs. It is imperative that we, as a society, educate ourselves in identifying stereotypes and gender-biased situations to eliminate gender discrimination in science and in our systems.
Is It Worth Publishing in a Medical Students’ Journal? Insights From a 10-Year Journey
Authors: Bonilla-Escobar Francisco J. , Egan Ciara , Găman Mihnea-Alexandru
Published: January 2022

Very little has been said about young scientists publishing in Journals that are led and carried forward by medical students or recently graduated physicians themselves. What has been said, however, is not always supportive. For some, these Journals should not exist, arguing that medical student research is for the sole purpose of training or rather, it should be aimed at reaching the level of rigor and impact held by other professional journals. For others, the lack of indexing and impact make these Journals a place where potential visibility and recognition is lost. Yet, there is a community of believers who see us as a way to improve science by training the next generation from the onset of their careers. A for-students, by-students Journal is the crossroads between publication, and therefore visibility, of student research, and a training ground for the ins and outs of peer-review and the writing standards held in science and medicine.

Published: January 2022

In the present paper, material collected from the vicinity of Balchik (NE Bulgaria) and housed in the Pantocsek Collection at the Hungarian Natural History Museum (Budapest) has been studied. Ten characteristic diatom species of regional and local importance were revised using scanning electron microscopy in order to clarify their identity. The purpose of the present paper is to elaborate on and photographically document the morphological variability of the examined taxa, and to compare the species composition with previously published data. The presence of Surirella comis Schmidt has been recognized for the first time from Bulgaria, as either fossil or recent form. Species characteristic for the association of the Achnathes baldjikii var. podolica Subzone have been indicated. Its stratigraphic range is within the Sarmatian Stage (Bessarabian Substage).
Hydrochemical characterization of thermal waters in Shipkovo thermal field
Authors: Benderev Aleksey , Stanev Stanimir , Trayanova Mila , Kolev Sava , Toteva Aglaida
Published: January 2022

“Shipkovo” thermal water field is one of the few in the country formed in karstified carbonate rocks. Initially, there was a natural spring with elevated temperature, located at the boundary of Triassic karstified limestones and dolomites and Lower Cretaceous terrigenous rocks, sinking in depth to the east. Later, drilling operations were carried out in the area, which resulted in the discovery of additional quantities of water with different temperatures and chemical composition, which led to the discovery of additional water of different temperature and chemical composition.
Eight wells were drilled east of the natural spring with a depth from 174 to 1315 m, with thermal waters from different depths found in the Triassic karst aquifer and the fissured Jurassic terrigenous rocks. The characterization of the chemical composition of the waters was made based on 55 water samples analyzes. It is established that the chemical composition is specific to the individual water sources and varies over time. The natural spring is characterized with the most significant fluctuations in the concentrations of some hydrochemical indicators – the maximum and minimum values of the total dissolved solids (TDS) differ approximately twice, and the pH – by about 2 units. As the flow rate of the spring increases and its temperature decreases, the type of water changes from HCO3-SO4–Ca-Mg to HCO3–Ca, and the concentrations of indicators characterizing the deep origin of thermal water decrease – fluorine (from 1.5÷1.6 to 0.1÷0.3 mg/l) and metasilicic acid (from 20÷25 to 10 mg/l). In periods when mainly deep mineral water flows from the spring, rather than mixed thermal and atmospheric waters, the concentrations of Ba, Sr, Al, Li are significantly higher. Comparison of the chemical composition of groundwater from individual wells shows the influence of geological and hydrogeological factors on its formation and changes in depth. The mixing of the waters formed by active water exchange in the karst environment of the Triassic limestones and dolomites with HCO3-Ca and HCO3-Ca-Mg type with the water formed in fractured rocks with stagnant character and SO4-Ca-Mg type in the Jurassic deposits and within the reach of the Shipkovo Fault, the fieldspecific SO4-HCO3-Ca-Mg waters are formed. With respect to the microcomponents, there is a slight tendency to increase the concentration of F, Sr, Ti, Ba, Mo, Ni, Mn in depth, but in the deepest wells they are relatively lower. The results obtained are useful in support of management decisions for the utilization of thermal waters from the Shipkovo field.

Effect of Customized Foot Insoles on Low Back Pain and Energy Expenditure in Prosthetics and Orthotics Professionals with Flat Feet
Authors: Kumari Rohina , . Surbhi , Saharawat Sakshi
Published: January 2022

Background: Low Back pain (LBP) in both developed and developing countries is the most prevalent occupation-related problem. 60%-80% of the general population at some time in their lives suffers from LBP. The existing evidence on Allied Health professions suggests that prosthetists/orthotists are likely to be at risk of low back pain development which has not been explored. Feet disorders and deformities are among the possible causes of LBP that have been introduced. It seems that there is a link between foot deformity and spinal performance in terms of the principles of biomechanics. Proper treatment with customized foot orthosis is more effective for improving low back pain symptoms than treatment with standard treatment methods.
Aims and Objectives: The present study evaluates the effect of customized foot insoles in reducing the pain and energy expenditure among prosthetics and orthotics professionals with mechanical low back pain.
Methodology: 30 prosthetics and orthotics professionals of age 25-35 years with mechanical low back pain and flat feet participated in the study which was a pre-test post-test experimental study design. LBP was evaluated by a Visual Analog Scale. The energy expenditure was evaluated using physiological cost index. Pre-test data of pain and energy expenditure was recorded without intervention. Then the customized foot insoles were given to the subjects for the duration of 4 weeks and post-test data of pain and energy was collected.
Results: The results showed a significant improvement in low back pain (mean ± SD =6.16 ± 0.94 to 5.03 ± 0.76, p= .000), and in the energy expenditure (mean ± SD = 0.08 ±0.02 to 0.06 ±0.02, p= 0.000).
Conclusion: This study provides evidence that customized foot insoles reduce pain and energy consumption among prosthetics and orthotics professionals with low back pain and flat feet.

Authors: Tak Hemant Kumar , Chaturvedi Dharmesh
Published: January 2022

Background: As primipara mothers are unaware about the quantity and quality of the complimentary foods, poor child’s feeding practices and high rates of infections causing ill effects to health and growth in period of infancy. Therefore present study aims to improve knowledge of primipara mothers by giving them learning package on weaning practices.
Method: Quantitative true experimental research design was used to conduct study. A sample of 60 primipara mothers were selected for the study by a lottery method and through randomization and among them, 30 primipara mothers were allotted to experimental group by allotting even numbers, 30 primipara mothers were allotted to control group by allotting odd numbers.
Results: The mean pre test knowledge score in experimental group was 11.00 ± 2.77, whereas mean post test knowledge score in experimental group was 20.96 ± 1.24. The mean pre test knowledge score in control group was 10.60 ± 3.30; whereas mean post test knowledge score in control group was 11.67 ± 1.53.The posttest mean value knowledge score among primipara mothers in the experimental group was significantly higher than the pre test knowledge score of the primipara mothers in the same group. The paired student “t” test value was 20.84 which was significant at P=0.001 level. The findings revealed that there was significant association between knowledge score with residence and educational level of the primipara mothers in experimental group.
Conclusion: Study concluded that weaning practices should be given more weightage for overall growth of the children.
