Strong earthquakes are caused by the movement of faults over a wide area of the ground. Bridges, unlike buildings, have a desirable mechanism of energy dissipation through columns. and the road decks are required to remain in use after the earthquake. However, when the actual intensity of an earthquake significantly exceeds the designed forces, minor or major damage occurs. The Kobe Earthquake in Japan, 1995 was strong, and also Tohoku 2011 was very strong. Damage occurred not only due to earthquakes but also due to associated effects such as liquefaction, horizontal soil expansion or tsunamis. The effects of these related events on the bridge damage are presented in this paper.

he bridge over the Pčinja River is located near the village of Dobrošane on the regional road R1204, section Kumanovo – Sveti Nikole. It consists of nine spans, each 39.5 m long, making the total length of the bridge 355.5 m. The bridge is 8.5 m wide, and the height of the central piers ranges from 18.5 m to 23.5 m. It is constructed with a composite structure for the upper works, composed of welded steel "I" beams, a reinforced concrete deck slab, and a monolithic reinforced concrete lower layer. The bridge employs a simple system of nine simple beams supported by piers using elastomeric bearings. The rehabilitation of the structure included measures to improve and extend its service life. The construction and rehabilitation work on the bridge was carried out by the company "Sintek Engineering" between June 2020 and January 2022. During this period, all the construction and rehabilitation works specified in the project documentation for the bridge were completed, such as: preparation, reinforcement and protection of steel elements, jacketing of reinforced concrete elements of the lower structure, increasing the thickness of the deck slab, replacement of expansion joints and neoprene bearings, installation of waterproofing over the deck slab, installation of new protective railings, etc. In addition to the agreed-upon construction and rehabilitation works, unforeseen repair works also emerged during the execution. Initially, movements of two central piers, S5 and S6, were observed, leading to additional measures being taken with the construction of new foundations with piles and a pile cap structure to stabilize them. The contractor successfully completed the work ahead of schedule. The successful completion of works on this structure is also credited to other team members: the Supervisor, the Investor, and the Investor's technical consultant, whose good cooperation was particularly important in finding common solutions in the interest of the structure

Published: July 2024

The paper presents the results of testing the railway bridge under the influence of trial loads, before and after its dislocation. Basic mechanical characteristics were investigated under static and dynamic loading. Global deformations (deflections) and local deformations (dilation – stress) were measured at both locations under the same trial load for comparison with values and comparison with calculated quantities. Two locomotives of different weights were used as trial loads. It was concluded that the displacement did not cause the bridge to lose the necessary characteristics in terms of load-bearing capacity and usability

Published: July 2024

Introdução: A colectomia é um procedimento utilizado para o tratamento de afecções como obstrução intestinal, câncer colorretal e doença inflamatória intestinal. A cirurgia laparoscópica transformou o tratamento de tais patologias, oferecendo redução no tempo de recuperação e internação. O objetivo deste artigo é realizar uma revisão de literatura avaliando a experiência e o impacto da cirurgia laparoscópica em comparação com a cirurgia aberta. Materiais, sujeitos e métodos: Na construção deste artigo foram revisados artigos publicados nas plataformas PubMed, Scielo e Cochrane entre 2000 e 2023. Resultados e discussão: Evidências apontam que a cirurgia aberta ainda é mais utilizada no Brasil. A laparoscopia apresenta menores taxas de infecções e complicações pós-operatórias, redução de dor e perda de sangue, menor tempo de internação. Considerações finais: A cirurgia laparoscópica apresenta vantagens como retorno precoce do hábito intestinal, menor tempo de internação e melhor resultado estético. A cirurgia aberta ainda é muito importante no contexto da urgência. Por fim, é necessário considerar as características e condições individuais de cada paciente para definir a melhor técnica operatória a ser utilizada.

Published: July 2024

Introdução: O cisto mesentérico (CM) é caracterizado como uma lesão cística localizada entre os folhetos mesentéricos, principalmente próximos ao íleo, mas pode ser encontrado em outras partes do intestino. As causas ainda são incertas, assim como a sintomatologia. Apesar de raros e de serem frequentemente encontrados de forma acidental (durante cirurgias ou exames de imagem), são descritos diferentes tipos histológicos. Materiais e métodos: Este trabalho foi elaborado a partir de consultas de artigos publicados no SciELO e PubMed entre o período de 2010 e 2023. Por meio da busca por "cisto mesentérico" e demais palavras-chave, foram incluídas revisões de literatura e estudos observacionais publicados nos últimos 14 anos, em português e inglês. Resultados e discussão: Observou-se que o sexo feminino é mais acometido por CM, principalmente entre os 30 e 40 anos. Ainda não há consenso em relação à etiologia, mas existem pelo menos três hipóteses. Além disso, a tomografia contrastada de abdome demonstrou-se superior em relação à ultrassonografia para diagnóstico do tumor cístico. O tratamento priorizado e mais realizado é a cirurgia, acompanhada da análise histopatológica da lesão. Considerações finais: Os cistos mesentéricos necessitam ser abordados cirurgicamente assim que são diagnosticados, tanto para evitar complicações como para estudo anatomopatológico. Ainda há lacunas na literatura a serem preenchidas em relação ao que se sabe sobre CM, principalmente no que tange ao conhecimento sobre etiologia e sintomatologia. Além disso, dados sobre recorrência e fatores de risco também são ainda pouco descritos.

Standard-based inspection and teacher assessment of climbing facilities and equipment in pre-school and primary centers in the province of Pontevedra (Galicia)
Authors: Silva Piñeiro Roberto , Pita Insua David
Published: July 2024

The purpose was to identify the risks of climbing facilities in primary schools in the province of Pontevedra (Galicia) in comparison with the regulatory standard, as well as the teachers' assessment of their use, maintenance and safety. The study was carried out in 18 schools by means of an inspection check-list and a questionnaire. Bearing in mind that it is not common for climbing walls to be used for non-educational activities and by people other than the pupils themselves, the most frequent risks were the lack of signage and warnings, and it was found that all the facilities present some risk, of a trivial or tolerable level, which coincides with similar studies. It is important to provide the teaching staff with tools so that they can carry out periodic checks, although they confirmed that the climbing walls studied were totally safe for the activities carried out.

Physical education (PE) has long been recognized as an important component of holistic education, contributing not only to physical fitness but also to cognitive, social, and emotional development. This research is to find out whether physical education can improve problem solving skills. The type of research used in this research is associative (relationship) research. This research was conducted on high school students in Padang, West Sumatra with a sample size of 50 people (23 men and 27 women) using a purposive sampling technique. The Problem Solving Inventory (PSI) was the tool used in this research. This instrument consists of (1) problem solving beliefs (r =.85), (2) approach-avoidance style (r =.88), (3) personal control (r -.83). The research results that can be seen in the anti-image matrix table determine the level of suitability of the variables studied. In this case, the three variables in the Problem Solving Inventory all have values ​​> 0.50 with the following details: 1) Problem solving confidence 0.643; 2) Approach avoidance style 0.501 and 3) Personal control 0.501. Furthermore, the Total Variance explained above in the Initial Eigenvalues ​​section only has 1 factor which is formed from the 3 variables used. Because the requirement to become a factor is that the Initial Eigen Value > 1 is able to explain 43.273%, while the Extraction Sums of Squared Loadings value is 1.298 or > 1 and is able to explain 43.273% of the variation. And has a cumulative variation of 43.273%. Based on the research results above, it can be concluded that the problem-based learning model can improve the learning outcomes of high school students in Padang. Problem solving is an important component in life, therefore problem-solving skills must be included in every lesson.

The aim of this study is to examine the spiritual intelligence levels of active soccer players according to various variables. A survey model was used in this quantitative study. The study group consisted of 517 football players actively playing football in the 1st Amateur League, Super Amateur League and Regional Amateur League. Snowball sampling, a non-probability sampling method, was used to collect the data. The first part of the measurement tool, which consists of two parts, includes questions prepared for the demographic information of the participants. The second part includes the "Spiritual Intelligence Scale" adapted into Turkish by Erduran-Tekin & Ekşi (2019). Independent sample test (T-test) and one-way analysis of variance (One-Way ANOVA) were applied to the data obtained. According to the results of the data analysis, Welch values were taken into consideration depending on the homogeneity assumption of the data and Tukey test, one of the Post Hoc tests, was applied as a second level test. The total score and sub-dimensions of spiritual intelligence differ statistically according to marital status, age, occupation, economic income and practicing sports. The fact that football players tell the problems they experience to the people around them (family members), the maturity that occurs in individuals with the advancement of age, the assurance and personal rights they have in the profession, having an economic income that they can feel comfortable and doing sports increase the level of spiritual intelligence.

Optimal learning achievement is often obtained through the consumption of nutritious and balanced food, which prevents poor nutritional statuses. This is particularly relevant to Junior High School students aged 12-15 years, who are more prone to experience malnutrition. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate determinants of students’ learning achievement according to nutritional status, nutritional knowledge, students’ diet, physical activity, and learning interest. This was a descriptive correlation cross-sectional study. Three hundred and fifty Junior High School students in Jayapura Municipality, Papua Province, Indonesia was involved as sample in this study. The study sample were taken by accidental sampling method. The primary data (knowledge of nutrition, diet, physical activity, interest in learning, nutritional status, and learning achievement) and secondary data were obtained from relevant sources and analyzed using frequency distribution analysis and statistical path analysis tests. The results showed the indirect effect of exogenous variables on the endogenous, where nutritional knowledge and students diet influenced nutritional status (p-value = 0.001), but physical activity had no impact (p-value = 0.167). Meanwhile, the direct effect of exogenous variables on the endogenous showed that nutritional knowledge, interest in learning, and nutritional status influenced students’ achievement (p-value = 0.001). Thus, nutritional status plays a significant role in determining students’ learning achievement. Nutrition knowledge and students diet indirectly affect learning achievement through nutritional status. Nutritional status, nutritional knowledge, and interest in learning directly affect the learning achievement of junior high school students. It is important to improve nutritional status through nutritional knowledge as well as students’ diet, therefore this would eventually improve learning achievement.

Exercise and sports may play a crucial role for individuals with disabilities due to their restricted levels of physical activity. Among people with disabilities, engaging in sports and exercise has the potential to notably enhance their physical and physiological functioning. Consequently, the aim of this research was to investigate the effects of a circuit training program on the cardiorespiratory fitness, musculoskeletal strength, and agility of wheelchair users. The study involved 28 participants with paraplegia as a result of spinal cord injury, aged between 19 and 40 years, who were divided into two groups: an experimental group (EG, n = 14) participating in circuit training, and a control group (CG, n = 14) undergoing aerobic upper-body exercise exclusively. All subjects took part in the wheelchair yo-yo test and hand grip test, both conducted at the commencement and conclusion of the training period. The results displayed a significant Time x Group interaction for both variables, indicating a substantial improvement in the intervention group (p < 0.001), while no significant changes were observed in the control group. Therefore, the findings suggest that incorporating circuit training into the daily routine of wheelchair users has a positive impact on their overall well-being, ultimately enhancing their quality of life.

This study aimed to design, develop, and assess the validity of a Physical Literacy (PL) instrument designed for primary school students in Tasikmalaya, Indonesia. Children aged 8 and 12 were the sample for this development research design. The instrument's validity was evaluated using alpha coefficient analysis, and the results were quite good. All items had alpha coefficients close to or equal to 1.00, indicating the proposed evaluation instrument has good validity. As it allows them to classify students according to their ability levels and conduct more effective physical education evaluations, physical education teachers and classroom teachers require PL assessment. Physical education curriculum planning concentrates more on Physical Literacy; each student needs to be improved to be more straightforward with this tool. Therefore, this evaluation tool is beneficial for teachers in obtaining a track record of individual and collective student progress in Physical Education learning. The results from this study show that the instrument created is reliable and successfully collected PL data in Tasikmalaya City, located in Indonesia. Since we can ensure that coaching efforts can concentrate on the specific needs of each student by using the PL assessment instrument, we will achieve more significant results in primary school students' PL.

O arroz é um dos gêneros alimentícios mais consumidos do mundo, em contrapartida, a geração de resíduos oriundos do seu processo de beneficiamento é inevitável. O presente estudo teve como objetivo principal alcançar um percentual desejado de sílica, por meio da cinza da casca de arroz, com o intuito de analisar a possibilidade de aplicações em processos de fabricação de materiais do ramo da construção civil, tornando-se uma alternativa economicamente viável e sustentável. Inicialmente as amostras das cascas de arroz foram fornecidas das regiões norte e sul do país, em seguida, realizou-se a limpeza e o processo de queima no laboratório, por meio do forno mufla, utilizando uma padronização de temperaturas e tempos variados. Posteriormente, as amostras das cinzas foram devidamente identificadas e encaminhadas para análise em laboratório credenciado, utilizando a metodologia de difração por Raio X. A partir do ensaio, verificou-se que a amostra que atingiu o maior percentual de sílica foi da região Norte, apresentando 93,8%, com temperatura de 650°C durante 4 horas. Atualmente a construção civil representa um dos setores que mais contribuem para a degradação do meio ambiente, em função da exploração de recursos naturais, os quais, uma vez consumidos, não são capazes de serem substituídos a curto prazo, dessa forma, o projeto possibilita o aproveitamento da casca de arroz, evidenciando alternativas para redução dos impactos ambientais.
Sensibilidade da análise foliar à acumulação de nutrientes minerais em povoamentos de eucalipto
Authors:   , Oliveira Fernanda Zeidan
Published: July 2024

A avaliação do estado nutricional de povoamentos de eucalipto, com base na análise foliar, faz parte dos programas de monitoramento nutricional, que também utilizam a análise de solo, e pode contribuir para o aprimoramento da fertilização e de seu manejo. A existência de populações de povoamentos de eucalipto com alta produtividade e acúmulo diferencial de nutrientes minerais suscita o interesse quanto à sensibilidade da análise foliar ao grau de acúmulo, maior ou menor, de nutrientes minerais. Os objetivos deste trabalho foram avaliar a sensibilidade da análise foliar, seja quanto ao grau de balanço, seja quanto ao grau de equilíbrio, em relação à acumulação do nutriente em povoamentos de eucalipto, e contribuir para o aprimoramento da diagnose nutricional dessa cultura. Foram utilizados dois bancos de dados, um para povoamentos seminais (992 povoamentos) e outro para povoamentos clonais (2087 povoamentos), contendo resultados de análise foliar para os nutrientes N, P, K, Ca e Mg, bem como resultados de inventário florestal e de conteúdo desses nutrientes na parte aérea de povoamentos de eucalipto cultivados em condições de sítio amplamente variáveis. Foram utilizados os seguintes métodos: a) a estratificação da população de alta produtividade de tronco conforme o grau de acumulação do nutriente na parte aérea das árvores, com base nos percentis 30 (30 % menores acúmulos do nutriente) e 70 (30 % maiores acúmulos do nutriente); b) no contexto da análise de envoltório, o método das linhas de fronteira para a identificação das populações com eficiências nutricionais máximas e mínimas e para a obtenção dos teores e das relações duais entre teores; c) para povoamentos clonais, as populações da linha de fronteira superior do relacionamento da produção de biomassa da parte aérea em função da idade foram estratificadas em concordantes (alta produção e alto acúmulo de nutrientes) e discordantes (alta produção e menor acúmulo de nutrientes). Em todos esses estratos populacionais, as médias de teores de N, P, K, Ca, Mg e das relações duais entre teores foram comparadas entre si com base no teste t para as médias e no teste F para as variâncias, a 5 % de probabilidade. Os resultados obtidos permitem concluir: os teores e as relações duais entre teores variam com o grau de acumulação do nutriente em povoamentos de eucalipto; há influência recíproca entre a acumulação de um nutriente sobre os teores foliares dos demais nutrientes; a análise foliar é sensível ao grau de acumulação do nutriente em árvores de eucalipto; valores de referência de teores e de relações entre teores de nutrientes devem ser obtidos em populações que harmonizam alta produtividade e baixo acúmulo de nutrientes.

Published: July 2024

The purpose of this investigation was to empirically assess the association between military expenditure and income inequality in the 19 European member states of NATO between 2011 and 2022. To achieve this, the authors carried out multivariate statistical analysis using Kaplan-Meier life tables and survival estimation techniques. The results highlighted a trend in the countries analysed that income inequality tended to decrease when investment in the military increased during the period under consideration. The association manifested itself in the shortest time in the group of countries with the lowest military spending per capita, while emerging in the longer term in the countries with the highest. Furthermore, under high threat of war, the association tends to be shortest in relative terms in countries with the lowest military expenditure per capita. The results also revealed that the association between military spending and income inequality is more pronounced in the smallest countries by population and those with the lowest military expenditure per capita. The authors believe that this investigation will enrich scientific knowledge with new insights.

Authors: Ivanov Dmitry S.
Published: July 2024

The subject of proof in a jury trial has its own characteristic features. The analysis of doctrinal positions on the essence of the trial by jury allowed us to conclude that procedural and psychological elements are internal features of individual properties of the jury trial. Identified internal signs of individual properties of the jury trial, made it possible to outline the factors that determine the features of the subject of proof in a jury trial. To the procedural features the author attributes the factor of differentiation of the subject of proof. The study of evidence with the participation of jurors for the verdict (a question of fact) and the study of circumstances to be proved in the case after the verdict (a question of law). The factor of narrowing the subject of proof by excluding certain circumstances from the subject of proof in the form of the study of circumstances characterizing the defendant’s personality. Prohibitions to investigate “other data” that may cause prejudice to the jury against the defendant. The factor of expansion of the subject of proof by raising additional questions, inclusion of certain circumstances, depending on the position of the parties. To psychological signs the author includes the factor of differentiation of the subject of proof in the form of a difference in the perception of the juror and professional judge of the circumstances to be proved in the case. The factor of narrowing the subject of proof by excluding certain circumstances from the subject of proof, which entails distortion of the juror’s worldly legal consciousness.

Published: July 2024

The author examines the objective signs of the corpus delicti described in Part 1 of Article 176 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. This crime undermines the system of relations between the lender and the borrower in the field of lending, which is based largely on mutual trust. Having similarities with encroachments on property, the
illegal receipt of a loan is not such, which led to a special characteristic of the signs of the composition of this crime. When carrying out official qualification, law enforcement officers need to be clear about what the content of the sign of the composition of the specified crime is, which are classified as objective signs. At the same time, it seems that a complete understanding of the properties of these features is possible only with a comprehensive analysis and comparison. In this article, the author draws attention to the ambiguity of perception of some signs of a crime indicated in Part 1 of Article 176 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. This is due to the fact that the disposition of this norm belongs to the category of blanks and therefore implies an appeal to the norms of not only criminal, but also civil and banking legislation of Russia. In general, the scientific article is aimed at employees of investigative and judicial authorities pecializing in the investigation of economic crimes. At the same time, it is of interest to persons engaged in research activities in the field of analysis of economic crimes
THE POSITION OF THE DEFENSE COUNSEL AND THE CONFIDANT — IS THE DISCREPANCY ADMISSIBLE?
Authors: Mashovets Asiya O. , Nikiforova Yelena Yu.
Published: July 2024
