HVAC System Enhancements for Improved IEQ and Energy Efficiency “Tropical Low Hanging Fruits”
Authors:   Department of Building National University of Singapore, Singapore, Sekhar Chandra
Published: November 2020

The HVAC system needs to serve the primary role of conditioning the air before it is delivered to the occupied zones of a building. The increasing focus on human centricity in buildings and the unquestionable need to curb the dependency on fossil fuels due to climate change considerations has necessitated the HVAC design professionals to explore innovative means and strategies to enhance HVAC system performance for improved Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) and energy efficiency. This paper deals with simple cost effective interventions, comprising new strategies or technologies in the tropics, dubbed Tropical Low Hanging Fruits that could significantly improve the energy performance of the buildings whilst simultaneously enhancing IEQ. It is obvious that new technologies or strategies are easier to be implemented in new buildings. However, such technologies could be easily seen as viable options during the refurbishment phase of an existing building. In addition, several interventions become easily possible in the normal operation stage of a building. The various technologies/strategies presented in this paper are discussed in the context of both new and existing buildings.

Published: November 2020

This work introduces the aspects of the proper choice of the exploitation data connected with heat supplied to a building in order to estimate the influence of wind speed, insolation or level of cloudiness on energy consumption. The analyzed building had a traditional, central heating installation with vertical risers in each flat and convective radiators and supplied with the heating medium (80/60 °C). The exploitation data from one heating season were analyzed and the influence of the wind speed within the range below 3 m/s, 3÷6 m/s and above 6 m/s on the value of the heat power delivered to the building was presented. Different times of the day and night were taken into account and the attention to the accuracy of obtained results was paid.
Returning to The Plague and The Bhagwad Gita : New Meaning and “Existentialist Absurdity” amid COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Smita Dr.

??????????????????? ?? ????? ???????? ?????????????????? ?? ???????????????????2.47??

Meaning:

Your right is to perform your work but never be oriented to the results. Never be motivated by the results of your actions, nor should you be attached to not performing your prescribed duties.

The above mentioned philosophy however, can be best understood in the present scenario of the pandemic of COVID 19. The pandemic which has kept everybody unsettled, restless from within, Shrimad Bhagwad Gita serves a torchbearer to the humanity. It holds our faith in karma, the true meaning of life.

As WHO reported, 2020 gripped the whole world into the saga of darkness which is started with a disease from animal. Not only that in fact it has engulfed the whole world into it. The entire world it seems has locked and blocked not only its movements but life. The numbers of death and patients increasing every day and with this increase in number is increasing the social stigma towards people. Health workers, women, children, sex workers, all are victim of it. This saga of disease has restricted not only our breathing but livelihood, happiness. We all succumb now to our own shell. Aristotle said once, “man is a social animal” and look at the world around today, a small little animal has brought that man to just a tiny individual who is always at the hands and prey to the nature. Be it Ebola Virus (EVD) of 1976 that was considered one of the deadliest viruses until then of its own kind, severely fatal to human illness or the Spanish Flu or the Bubonic Plague, Black Death epidemic. All these have always been fatal and deadliest in their own specific ways. Still, we human always feel surprised whenever we face such sudden outbreak of any disaster, what so ever. The catastrophic, xenophobic behaviour, subjects to be analysed from anthropological point of view try to justify one of the foremost evolution myths by Herbert Specncer, “Survival of the Fittest”. However, in literature, it is said that everything has a purpose in a narrative or a situation, it has a meaning to interpret. Things and situations are always interpretational. So is the case in this pandemic. This COVID-19 is much more than just a “disease”. It’s a social-cultural construct that shapes, reshapes or de-shapes humanities responses and behaviour.

The objective of this paper is to look these constructs from a different lens and analyse the underlying existential philosophy, an existential absurdity drawing adjacent connections between the age old two classics piece of literature, The Bhagwad Gita (a long conversation between Arjuna and Lord Krishna before the battle of Mahabharata in the battle field Kurukshetra and The Plague by Albert Camus.

Evaluation of associations between owner presence and indicators of fear in dogs during routine veterinary examinations
Authors: Stellato Anastasia C. , Dewey Cate E. , Widowski Tina M. , Niel Lee
Published: November 2020

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the influence of owner presence on behavioral and physiologic indicators of fear in dogs during routine physical examinations.

ANIMALS

32 client-owned dogs.

PROCEDURES

Dogs underwent a standardized, video-recorded examination consisting of 6 phases (examination of the head, lymph node palpation, body palpation, axillary temperature measurement, heart rate assessment, and respiratory rate assessment) with or without their owner present in a randomized, controlled study. Behaviors reported to be indicative of fear, including reduced posture, avoidance, escape, lip licking, body shaking, yawning, and vocalizing, were assessed during each phase, and physiologic measurements were assessed during relevant phases by the investigator. Owner presence and sex and age of dogs were investigated for associations with behavioral signs of fear; behavioral and physiologic measurements were compared between groups (owner present vs owner absent).

RESULTS

Dogs in the owner-present group had a lower rate of vocalizations, lower mean axillary temperature, and higher rate of yawning than dogs in the owner-absent group. Female dogs in the owner-absent group had a higher heart rate than females and males in the owner-present group and males in the owner-absent group, and the rate of lip licking decreased as age increased in the owner-present group. The presence of reduced body posture and rates of lip licking, avoidance behavior, and escape behavior were associated with examination phase.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Results suggested that, when practical, owners should be encouraged to remain with their dog during routine veterinary examinations. However, effects of owner presence during procedures require further investigation. (J Am Vet Med Assoc 2020;257:1031–1040)
Assessment of PDK4 and TTN gene variants in 48 Doberman Pinschers with dilated cardiomyopathy
Authors: Meurs Kathryn M. , Stern Joshua A. , Adin Darcy , Keene Bruce W. , De Francesco Theresa C. , Tou Sandra P.
Published: November 2020

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the frequency of variants in the pyruvate kinase dehydrogenase 4 (PDK4) and titin (TTN) genes in a group of Doberman Pinschers with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and to determine whether there were unique clinical attributes to each variant.

ANIMALS

48 Doberman Pinschers with DCM.

PROCEDURES

Doberman Pinschers with recently diagnosed DCM were identified, and genomic DNA from each was genotyped with a PCR assay for detection of PDK4 and TTN genetic variants. Dogs were grouped on the basis of whether they had the TTN variant alone, PDK4 variant alone, both variants, or neither variant. Descriptive statistics were compiled for dog age, body weight, and left ventricular dimensions and fractional shortening and for the presence of ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias and heart failure. Results were compared across groups.

RESULTS

Of the 48 dogs, 28 had the TTN variant alone, 10 had both variants, 6 had neither variant, and 4 had the PDK4 variant alone. The mean age was younger for dogs with the PDK4 variant alone, compared with other dogs. However, the number of dogs with the PDK4 variant alone was very small, and there was an overlap in age across groups. No other meaningful differences were detected across groups, and independent genotype-phenotype relationships were not identified.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Although findings indicated that the TTN variant was most common, 6 dogs had neither variant, and this fact supported the concept of ≥ 1 other genetic contributor to DCM in Doberman Pinschers. Future studies are warranted to evaluate genotype-phenotype relationships in Doberman Pinschers with DCM.

Authors: Settai Kanako , Kondo Hirotaka , Shibuya Hisashi
Published: November 2020

OBJECTIVE

To assess variations in age, breed, and clinical signs in rabbits with neoplastic or nonneoplastic uterine lesions and to investigate potential relationships between endometrial adenocarcinoma and age at ovariohysterectomy or breed in rabbits.

ANIMALS

1,928 rabbits that underwent ovariohysterectomy for treatment or prevention of possible uterine disease.

PROCEDURES

With an online questionnaire distributed to 441 veterinary hospital members of the Japanese Society of Exotic Pet Medicine, data were retrospectively collected regarding age, breed, and findings on physical and histologic examinations for pet rabbits that underwent ovariohysterectomy between January 1, 2009, and April 30, 2018. Rabbits were grouped by reported age, breed, clinical signs, and uterine lesions, and results were assessed across groups. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify potential relationships between endometrial adenocarcinoma and breed or age at ovariohysterectomy in rabbits.

RESULTS

The questionnaire response rate was 9.8% (43/441), with data reported for 1,928 rabbits (mixed breed, 600 [31.1%]; Netherland Dwarf, 520 [27.0%]; Holland Lop, 286 [14.8%]; or various other breeds, 522 [27.1%]). The most commonly reported neoplastic and nonneoplastic lesions were endometrial adenocarcinoma (1,035/1,928 [53.7%]) and endometrial hyperplasia (842 [43.7%]), respectively, and the most commonly reported clinical sign was hematuria or serosanguineous vaginal discharge (1,020/1,928 [52.9%]). As age at ovariohysterectomy increased, so did the odds (OR, 1.826; 95% CI, 1.640 to 2.033) of uterine adenocarcinoma.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Results supported ovariohysterectomy in rabbits before 2 years of age as a key preventative measure to mitigate uterine disease, particularly endometrial adenocarcinoma.

Balinese culture is a complex phenomenon based on various beliefs such as Hinduism, Shiva, Buddhism and combined with ancestral traditions therefore that Bali has a special uniqueness of the ceremonial activities performed and the architecture of the building. Over time, the many interactions that enter Bali cause interactions between communities, resulting in friction between cultures which allows acculturation to occur. One of the cultural meetings that took place in Bali was the existence of a Balinese Catholic community in Canggu Village, North Kuta District, Badung Regency, Bali. Cultural meetings that take place in this village involve Balinese Hindu culture and Catholic traditions. The purpose of this study is to study the picture of cultural encounters that occur in the pattern of Catholic Balinese residences in Canggu Village. The results obtained are that the laying of each building does not consist of one building such as a traditional Balinese house, but does not adapt to the space of the mandala, at a level that adapts the concept of the tri mandala all facing towards the main road.

The glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) is a rare jaw development cyst that exhibits aggressive biological behavior and is prone to recurrence. The present study aims to report a case of GOC with an emphasis on its clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic aspects. A 40-year-old female patient presented to the Buccomaxillofacial Surgery service with a swelling in the anterior mandible. Histopathological analysis revealed a cystic cavity lined by a non-keratinized epithelium of varying thickness, exhibiting many features consistent with GOC, such as mucous cells and duct-like microcystic spaces. Lesion resection was performed, followed by immediate reconstruction. After one year of follow-up, the patient is free of recurrence. Therefore, this case highlights the importance of an effective diagnosis of GOC, through a clear definition of histopathological criteria, to provide the most appropriate treatment and absence of relapses.

Objetivo: Comparar a mensuração dos ângulos goníacos na ortopantomografia e telerradiografia de perfil, em doentes que apresentavam padrões de classe I, II e III esquelética. Métodos: O estudo decorreu no Instituto de Ortodontia da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Coimbra, no qual foram selecionados 60 doentes (38 do sexo feminino, 22 do sexo masculino). A amostra selecionada foi dividida considerando o tipo de classe esquelética presente (I, II e III). O ângulo goníaco, nas telerradiografias, foi medido na intersecção do plano do ramo ascendente e do plano mandibular. Nas ortopantomografias, o ângulo goníaco foi calculado pela intersecção de duas linhas: a tangente ao bordo inferior da mandíbula e a tangente ao bordo distal do ramo ascendente e do côndilo em ambos os lados. Os dados obtidos foram analisados estatisticamente com o teste ANOVA e com um nível de significância de 0,05. Resultados: Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que a média do ângulo goníaco foi de 127,30 ± 8,5 e 128,28 ±7,8 graus nas panorâmicas e telerradiografias, respetivamente. Uma forte concordância entre as medições nas três classes esqueléticas foi observada. O valor do ângulo goníaco apresenta diferenças entre as classes esqueléticas, particularmente entre a classe I e III (p=0,007) e a classe II e III (p=0,036). Conclusões: A ortopantomografia e telerradiografia são métodos radiológicos viáveis para a medição do ângulo goníaco. O valor do ângulo goníaco pode variar consoante a classe esquelética do doente.

Objetivos: Determinar a prevalência de cárie, erosão dentária, traumatismos orofaciais e maloclusão; relacionar as alterações orais com o consumo de bebidas desportivas e energéticas e a utilização de protetor bucal; avaliar a perceção dos treinadores quanto às causas de traumatismos orofaciais nos atletas. Métodos: Estudo observacional e transversal, realizado em 105 indivíduos – 91 atletas federados em hóquei em patins e 14 treinadores, do escalão sub20–júnior e sénior – de 5 clubes desportivos, do distrito de Lisboa. A recolha de dados foi efetuada por questionário aos atletas e treinadores, e observação oral aos atletas, avaliando os índices de Dentes Cariados, Perdidos e Obturados (CPO-D), o Basic Erosion Wear Examination (BEWE), experiência de traumatismos orofaciais e maloclusão. Resultados: O CPO-D foi de 3,2 (±3,0), aumentando com o número de anos de consumo de bebidas desportivas e/ou bebidas energéticas (p<0,01). A prevalência de erosão dentária foi de 13,2%, sendo o BEWE de 2,5 (±1,4). A presença de erosão dentária foi proporcional ao consumo das referidas bebidas (ρ=0,227; p=0,031). Durante a prática desportiva 67,0% sofreu traumatismo orofacial, sendo referido pelos treinadores como principal causa o contacto com a bola. O protetor bucal era utilizado por 22,0%, os restantes revelaram um maior número de traumatismos orofaciais (p=0,240). Conclusões: A maior presença de cáries foi encontrada nos atletas que consumiam bebidas desportivas e/ou energéticas há mais tempo. Os que consumiam as referidas bebidas tendiam a apresentar erosão dentária. A não utilização de protetor bucal revelou um maior número de traumatismos orofaciais.
