Published: January 2021

RESUMO:

O artigo se propõe a mostrar o trabalho desenvolvido em um berçário com bebês, com idade entre zero a dois anos em uma Escola Infantil de Porto Alegre. Nele, levamos para as crianças a indagação: “Quantos tons tem o azul?”. Tal questionamento propiciou uma sequência de propostas que pretendiam explorar as tonalidades de diferentes objetos, materialidades e texturas da cor azul. Foram organizados diferentes ambientes para a investigação.  Inspiramos-nos em obras da literatura infantil e em explorações de misturas e tinturas fazendo uso de propostas de tom sobre tom de azuis. Buscamos um diálogo com as explorações de livros, poemas e ciranda para tentar dar visibilidade ao como os bebês nos mostram os modos como apreendem o mundo ao seu redor.

Introdução: A resina composta é um dos materiais restauradores mais pesquisados na Odontologia, visando melhorias nas suas propriedades e aperfeiçoamento da técnica. Este trabalho tem o objetivo de avaliar a rugosidade superficial de duas resinas compostas, microhíbrida e nanoparticulada, após a polimerização adicional com micro-ondas. Materiais e métodos: Para cada resina composta, foram confeccionados 24 corpos de prova, medindo 0,8cm de diâmetro interno por 0,2cm de espessura, dos quais, 12 receberam polimerização adicional com micro-ondas e 12 apenas a polimerização com luz azul visível. Foram estabelecidos quatro grupos: G1- resina microhíbrida submetida polimerização convencional, G2 - resina nanoparticulada submetida a polimerização convencional, G3- resina microhíbrida exposta a polimerização adicional em forno de micro-ondas caseiro e G4- nanoparticulada exposta a polimerização adicional em forno de micro-ondas caseiro. Os corpos de prova foram lixados em politriz com o intuito de uniformizar as superfícies, seguidos pela leitura no rugosímetro digital Mitutoyo SJ 301. O teste não paramétrico Exato de Mann-Whitney (significância de 5%) foi realizado utilizando a média aritmética (Ra, µm). Conclusão: Não houve significância estatística entre os tipos de polimerização e nem entre as diferentes resinas compostas estudas.

Published: January 2021

Objetivo: avaliar in vitro a ação antimicrobiana do extrato da própolis (EP) e do digluconato de clorexidina (DCHX) na formação de biofilme por C. albicans em resina acrílica termopolimerizada. Métodos: o efeito do EP e DCHX em biofilmes de C. albicans foram avaliados através da quantificação de Unidades Formadoras de Colônias (UFCs) e pela quantificação da biomassa por cristal violeta e polissacarídeos por safranina. Para tanto, C. albicans foram pré-aderidas em corpos-de-prova e somente em microplacas de poliestireno e posteriormente foi realizado o tratamento com diferentes concentrações de EP (221 e 443 μg/mL) e DCHX (0,25% e 0,5%). Resultados: foi demostrado uma redução significativa na formação de biofilme por C. albicans, com ambas as substâncias testadas e em todas as concentrações.  Conclusão: tendo em vista as dificuldades e os vários fatores que interferem no tratamento da candidose oral com antifúngicos e ao fato de essa ter sido relatada como problema de saúde pública, com alta incidência em usuários de próteses removíveis, faz-se necessários lançar-se mão de outras alternativas que possam ser mais eficazes no tratamento desta infecção, levando-se em consideração os efeitos colaterais para o paciente, sendo bem indicado o EP, por ser produto de uso tópico e, portanto, de fácil aplicação, possuindo custo menos elevado.

Published: January 2021

Introdução: O cisto ósseo traumático (COT) é um pseudocisto que se apresenta assintomatico e é descoberta frequente em exames de rotina. Outra lesão também presente nos maxilares é o odontoma, sendo dividido em dois subtipos, o composto e o complexo; os odontomas são geralmente descobertos como um achado acidental, visto que não apresentam sintomatologia. Objetivo: O presente artigo objetiva relatar um caso incomum de um COT, associado a Odontoma Composto (OC). Relato de caso: Paciente do gênero masculino, 16 anos de idade, compareceu a clínica escola de odontologia da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande (UFCG), campus Patos-PB referenciado pelo cirurgião-dentista após o mesmo solicitar exame radiográfico para tratamento ortodôntico e observar lesão radiolúcida em região anterior da mandíbula. Durante a anamnese, o paciente não relatou nenhuma alteração sistêmica ou doença de base, mas relatou trauma de infância na região acometida. Ao exame clínico intraoral, não foi observado nenhum aumento de volume na região. Realizou-se palpação na região, não havendo relato de dor. Ao analisar a radiografia panorâmica observou-se a presença de pequenas estruturas calcificadas com radiopacidade semelhante às estruturas dentárias, delimitada por uma linha radiolúcida, sugestiva de OC. Para melhor localização, delimitação, relação com estruturas anatômicas e planejamento cirúrgico da lesão, foi solicitado um exame de tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico (TCFC). Considerações finais: Com base nos achados clínicos e radiográficos, optou-se por abordagem cirúrgica à lesão cística e enucleação do OC, sob anestesia local. No pós-operatório de um ano o paciente evolui satisfatoriamente sem queixas clinicas.

Published: January 2021

This study was performed to evaluation of interaction of silicon application and irrigation on agronomic and physiologic traits of safflower at 2018 and 2019. The experiment was conducted as a split plot factorial based on randomized complete block design with 3 replications. The irrigation was main factor (0, 2 and 4 times during growth) and the sub-factor were silicon foliar application (at three levels: 0, 1 and 2 mM) and three safflower cultivars (Goldasht, Padideh and Golmehr). The studied traits were: number of seeds per boll and 1000-grain weight, number and weight of boll, number of lateral branches and branch diameter, plant weight and total plant weight, floret yield, grain yield, chlorophyll a and b, proline and antioxidant enzymes. According to results, treatments had significant effects on studied traits at 5 or 1% statistically level. 2 and 3 times irrigation led to 7 and 24% the increasing of seed yield in compare to control, respectively. It was obtained that 1 and 2mM silicon led to 25 and 15% the increase of seed yield in compare to control. Interaction between treatments showed that the highest seed yield (500g per m2) was observed by Goldasht cultivar under 4-time irrigation and 2mM silicon. Therefore, it can be suggested that Goldasht with 2 mM silicon be used to reduce the effects of dehydration.

Published: January 2021

The study area is located 5.5 km north-east of Kamo County and 30 km north-east of Meymeh, Isfahan. Kamo Index comprises an anticline with a northwest-southeast trend, the outcrop of which consists of siltstone-sandstone and Jurassic shale rocks that lie along a cretaceous unit. Based on field studies as well as petrographic and geochemical investigations, mineral assemblages and minerals in the area include chalcopyrite, pyrite, marcasite, and magnetite as primary ores and malachite, bornite, covellite, chalcocite, hematite, goethite, and hydrous iron oxides as secondary ores. The secondary ores have been formed by oxidation and biogenic processes. The primary textures are granular, disseminated, vein-shaped, and layered and the secondary textures are boxed and martitized, shear zones, replacements, and veins. Tectonic, metamorphic, and oxidation factors are involved in the formation of these textures. Due to tectonic activity in this area and the presence of faults, replacement, vein, and shear textures, which have developed after mineralization, are observed. Among alterations, hematite, propylitic, sericitic, limonitic, and kaolinitic are highly prevalent and they are important in the formation of iron deposits. The sub-alkaline granitoids of the region are related to the continental subduction-zone orogenic series. Studies on the decomposed iron samples from Kamo show that most of the samples are in the sub-alkaline series and the chemical and mineralogical composition of the magma derived from this series is calc-alkaline with a large amount of iron. According to mineralogical, lithological, and geochemical evidence and based on isotopic results, Kamo deposit is a skarn-type deposit.

Published: January 2021

To study the effect of sowing date and water stress on qualitative traits of canola, an experiment was conducted for two years in Iran. The sowing date and irrigation were in two levels as the main factors, and five canola cultivars and hybrids were included as the subfactors. In normal sowing date and normal irrigation conditions, The Tassilo hybrid with a high seed yield and seed oil yield (6139 and 2905 kg ha-1, respectively) can be effective in the cultivation of canola in temperate cold regions with dry and semi-arid climates. In the conditions of delayed cultivation and late season drought stress, the same hybrid with the highest seed yield and seed oil yield (2935 and 1273 kg ha-1, respectively) and the least amount of erucic acid (0.4%) and glucosinolate content (22.9 μmol g-1) is recommended for the delayed cultivation conditions together with late season drought stress.

Published: January 2021

Different soils with various properties and sometimes with different types of limitations can be formed which is necessary to investigate the conditions of soil formation and evolution for their optimal use. In this study, we studied the relationship between soil, topography in terms of slope and elevation, and parent material with the land morphology and physical and chemical properties of soil, how the soil formed and evolved. From 19 control soil profiles, 57 soil samples were obtained from three layers and some soil characteristics including Acidity, Salinity, Gypsum, Lime, Texture and Organic matter were measured. Using NEWHALL software, the soil temperature and moisture regime was determined. To study the conditions of topography, the digital elevation map and slope was prepared, the characteristics of geological formations were determined and based on the Gower index and Jacquard index, the relationship between soil evolution factors with topography and parent materials were studied. The diversity of soils classification was studied using richness, uniformity of Shannon and Simpson indices. Based on the results obtained from Gower and jacquard similarity indices, the effect of topography and parent materials on soil diversity was proved. Soil diversity indices showed an increasing trend from the soil order level to the soil family. The increase in the Richness index was higher at the soil family level, so that the highest soil diversity observed at the soil family level. Also, soil diversity is mainly affected by intrinsic factors and to some extent by environmental factors. Soil profile development is mostly influenced by slope, parent materials and in some areas by groundwater level.

According to the results of this study, inoculation with Rhizobium meliloti bacteria increases the ability of nitrogen fixation 3 to 4 times compared to the control and improved the alfalfa traits of Bami cultivar in southeastern Iran.
Age and Origin of the Dongping Au-Te Deposit in the North China Craton Revisited: Evidence from Paragenesis, Geochemistry, and In Situ U-Pb Geochronology of Garnet

Published: January 2021

Dongping is the largest Au-Te vein deposit (~120 t Au) in the North China craton, but its age, origin, and setting remain unsolved. Here, we integrate paragenesis, geochemistry, and in situ U-Pb geochronology of garnet to constrain the timing and possible origin of the Dongping Au-Te deposit. Gold mineralization at Dongping is hosted in the Shuiquangou alkaline complex (ca. 401–390 Ma) and dominated by quartz-sulfide veins with minor ores in adjacent alteration envelopes. Andradite to grossular garnets are recognized in pre-, syn-, and post-ore quartz veins as well as mineralized alteration envelopes and are closely associated with a variety of ore and gangue minerals, mainly including K-feldspar, quartz, specularite, magnetite, pyrite, tellurides, epidote, and calcite. The paragenetic, textural, fluid inclusion, and compositional data suggest that garnets precipitated directly from a low-salinity fluid at 302° to 383°C and 90 to 330 bar.

Garnets from various veins and alteration envelopes have similar U contents ranging from 0.80 to 13.89 mg/kg and yield reproducible U-Pb dates of 142 ± 5 to 139 ± 6 Ma (1σ) by laser ablation-inductively coupled plasmamass spectrometry. The dating results suggest that gold mineralization at Dongping occurred in the Early Cretaceous and thus preclude a genetic link between Au-Te mineralization and the ore-hosting alkaline intrusion as commonly suggested. When combined with independent geologic, geochemical, and geochronological studies, the new garnet U-Pb dates allow us to classify the Dongping Au-Te deposit as an oxidized intrusion-related gold deposit, with the causative magma likely derived from melting of an ancient enriched lithospheric mantle source due to destruction of the subcontinental lithospheric keel beneath the North China craton—a catastrophic event induced by the westward subduction of the Paleo-Pacific plate. This study highlights garnet U-Pb dating as a potential robust geochronometer for gold vein deposits elsewhere.
Spatio-Temporal Shifts in Magmatism and Mineralization in Northern Colorado Beginning in the Late Eocene
Authors: Rosera Joshua M. , Gaynor Sean P. , Coleman Drew S.
Published: January 2021

Magmatism in northern Colorado beginning in the late Eocene is associated with the formation of Pb-Zn-Ag carbonate-replacement and polymetallic vein deposits, the onset of caldera-forming magmatism, and eventually, the formation of rift-related, F-rich Mo porphyries (“Climax-type” intrusions). We use high-precision U/Pb zircon geochronology to better evaluate the temporal framework of magmatism and mineralization in the region. Our results demonstrate that mineralization in the Leadville area occurred between 43.5 and 39.7 Ma and was followed by mesothermal mineralization in the Montezuma area at approximately 38.7 Ma. Mineralization is associated with a suite of approximately 43 to 39 Ma intermediate magmatic centers that extended from Twin Lakes through Montezuma. The oldest porphyries associated with F-rich Mo prospects and deposits (Middle Mountain; 36.45 Ma) intruded 900 kyr after the start of the ignimbrite flare-up in the region. Spatiotemporal analyses reveal that the pattern of magmatism shifted in orientation between 40 and 35 Ma. We propose a model wherein magmatism before 39 Ma was the result of fluids evolved from the subducted Farallon slab being focused through weak zones in the lithospheric mantle and into the lower crust. This was followed by a more diffuse and higher power melting event that corresponds to a distinct change in the spatial patterns of magmatism. Our data suggest that low-grade Mo porphyry deposits can form close in time to calderas. We hypothesize that the transition from subduction to extensional tectonics in the region was responsible for this more widespread melting and a distinct shift in the style of magmatic-hydrothermal mineralization.
Variant Offset-Type Platinum Group Element Reef Mineralization in Basal Olivine Cumulates of the Kapalagulu Intrusion, Western Tanzania
Authors: Prendergast M. D.
Published: January 2021

The Kapalagulu intrusion in eastern Tanzania hosts a major, 420-m-thick, stratiform/stratabound platinum group element (PGE)-bearing sulfide zone—the Lubalisi reef—within a prominent, chromititiferous, harzburgite unit close to its stratigraphic base. Several features of the vertical base and precious metal distributions (in a composite stratigraphic section based upon two deep exploration drill holes) display similarities to those of offset-type PGE reefs that formed under the overall control of Rayleigh fractionation: (1) composite layering (at several scales) defined by systematic vertical variations of sulfide and precious metal contents and intermetallic ratios, indicating repeated cycles of PGE enrichment and depletion in the order Pd-Pt-Au-Cu, and (2) in the lower part of the reef, stratigraphic offsets of the precious metal peaks below peak sulfide (Cu) content. The form and geochemistry of the reef are consistent with overturns of basal liquid layers within a liquid layering system (i.e., stable density-driven stratification of a magma chamber), plus at least two minor inputs of parental magma during which the resident magma was recharged with sulfur and metals, and the effective depletion of precious metals in the magma midway through reef development. The Lubalisi reef differs from classic offset-type PGE reefs, however, principally because individual Pd, Pt, and Au enrichment peaks are coincident, not offset. The reef is set apart from other offset-type PGE reefs in three additional ways: (1) its association with olivine cumulates that crystallized soon after initial magma emplacement and well below the first appearance of cumulus pyroxene or plagioclase (implying attainment of sulfide saturation and precious metal enrichment without prolonged concentration of sulfur and chalcophile metals by normal magma cooling and differentiation), (2) the probable role of chromite crystallization in not only triggering sulfide segregation during reef formation but also facilitating precious metal enrichment in the early stages of reef development, and (3) its great width. The early stage of fractionation may also help explain the coincident precious metal peaks through its effect on apparent precious metal partition coefficients.

Published: January 2021

The aim of this study is to explore Omani and Kuwaiti physical education teachers’ teaching efficacy level and to determine differences in terms of gender variables. The sample consisted of 164 physical education teachers from Oman and 187 from the State of Kuwait. There were 49.9% male physical education teachers and 59.1% female physical education teachers from both countries. Data were collected through a developed teaching efficacy scale, which was borrowed from the literature, consisting of 5 main categories: content knowledge, pedagogical special knowledge, general teaching, classroom management, and assessment in physical education. Generally, the results revealed that physical education teachers hold a positive and medium level of teaching efficacy. In addition, physical education teachers in the State of Kuwait possessed higher levels than Omani physical education teacher in all dimensions except in the general teaching and classroom management dimensions. Furthermore, the level of teaching efficacy was higher for female physical education teachers compared to their counterparts. Further recommendations for future studies are also suggested.

Published: January 2021

Os filhos de alcoolistas sofrem o impacto de uma relação parental marcada pela violência e imprevisibilidade. O objetivo deste estudo é ilustrar a experiência emocional de filhos de alcoolistas com o relato emblemático de um dos 12 participantes de uma pesquisa psicanalítica empírica. Foi realizada uma entrevista psicanalítica com Rosa Vermelha por meio do uso de uma Narrativa Interativa sobre o drama de um filho que aguarda a chegada do pai alcoolizado. Rosa completou a narrativa expressando-se imaginativamente sobre a convivência com o progenitor. O material narrativo foi analisado à luz da psicanálise winnicottiana, resultando em quatro campos de sentidos que comunicam a experiência emocional de filhos de alcoolistas: “Marcas da Violência”; “Desejo Soberano”, “Sobrevivendo ao Caos” e "De volta à minha vida". O intenso sofrimento emocional desses filhos que precisam assumir responsabilidades precocemente enseja a produção de futuras pesquisas que subsidiem práticas no contexto do alcoolismo.
Representações sociais sobre uso de cannabis entre jovens: estudo comparativo
Authors: Dias Paola Souza , Palata Fernanda Gomes , Dalla Vecchia Marcelo
Published: January 2021

Buscou-se identificar e comparar as representações sociais sobre o consumo da maconha na perspectiva de dois grupos de jovens: frequentadores de uma universidade pública, e participantes não-universitários de um projeto social com oriundos de bairros periféricos. Os dados foram coletados em grupos focais, cada um com seis participantes, sendo a análise fundamentada na teoria das representações sociais e operacionalizada pela análise temática. Foram delimitadas categorias a posteriori: imagens da maconha, visão dos familiares, papel/lugar da maconha, motivação/influência para o uso, contexto de uso, posicionamento da escola/universidade e consequências. Observaram-se aproximações entre os grupos sobre a percepção de inocuidade da maconha por ser produto natural e a dificuldade de dialogar a respeito com os familiares, mas também diferenças, por exemplo, quanto a ser ou não a maconha porta de entrada para outras drogas. Discutir sobre a maconha ainda gera resistências e traz tabus, acentuando a necessidade de promoção de diálogos.

Published: January 2021

Esta pesquisa objetivou compreender a ação clínica dos acompanhantes terapêuticos (Ats) nas redes sociais da cidade de Recife – PE. Realizou-se um estudo qualitativo, de cunho fenomenológico existencial com cinco Ats, utilizando a narrativa colaborativa como instrumento. Em um primeiro momento, individualmente, cada participante se expressou livremente. Após, realizou-se um encontro grupal com os mesmos participantes. Na análise das narrativas, fez-se uso da hermenêutica filosófica de Gadamer, compreendendo a clínica do Acompanhamento Terapêutico em suas diferentes possibilidades de ação clínica com as especificidades inerentes ao seu campo de atuação, a partir da experiência de quem a pratica. Nessa direção, percebeu-se que os Ats estão inseridos nos seguintes seguimentos: acompanhamento clínico com foco em saúde mental – particular ou institucional –, formação, supervisão e pesquisa. Contudo, constatou-se que eles estão operacionalizando ações segregadas. Em contrapartida, os Ats demonstraram almejar um lugar mais delimitado, o que inclui organização, institucionalização, formalização e profissionalização desta prática.

Published: January 2021

Renal abscess, the accumulation of infected fluid in the kidney, is a rare condition seen in children as well as adults. It leads to
long term hospital admission and antibiotic use. Early diagnosis is an important factor in the outcome of renal abscess because the
management may differ. Urinalysis test results and radiologic imaging findings of the patients who are admitted to hospital with
complaints of fever, vomiting, abdominal pain or flank pain are important for the early diagnosis. Undertreated cases have high risk
for renal scar formation. In this paper, we aim to present three pediatric patients, who showed the complication of renal abscess and
were treated with long term antibiotic use without a need for surgical drainage.

Weak”, “Care Process”, “Effects of Heart Disease”, “Reason for the Occurrence of the Disease”, “Need for Knowledge” and “Solution
Seeking” were determined in the preoperative interviews, and five main themes consisting of “Perception of Being Strong”, “Perception
of Being Weak”, “Surgery”, “Care Process” and “Education” were determined in the postoperative interviews.
Conclusion: This new philosophy in patient management has positive effects because it increases patients’ hopes for life, healing and
facilitating adaptation to the surgical procedure.
Lying for Bonuses
Authors: Chang Leo
Published: January 2021

This study aims to determine whether being in a group setting makes lying easier through the diffusion of responsibility. Participants in three separate conditions, two paired and one isolated control, were asked to roll dice and report results. Participants also had the incentive of earning extra money if the reported number was a four, regardless of the truthfulness of the response. The results showed that participants overwhelmingly reported rolling a four, statistically indicating that many chose to lie. Additionally, one of the two group conditions proved to have significantly higher rates of reported lying than the individual condition (with the other group condition directionally higher but not significantly). The findings suggest that people are more likely to engage in immoral behavior when placed in a group setting as opposed to when acting independently.

Published: January 2021

Drug coating is one of the most important processes in the modern pharmaceutical industry. Improving the utilization rate of raw materials (URRM) in the drug coating process is thus important for cost saving and efficiency enhancement. There is little existing research on this topic in the literature of applied statistics. In this paper, motivated by a real dataset collected from a pharmaceutical company in China, we propose to use a novel predictive model that integrates a Bayesian framework with the Gibbs sampling algorithm to characterize the pattern of URRM. Based on certain prior distributional assumptions, the Gibbs sampling algorithm is then applied to sample the posterior distribution of the parameters to obtain more accurate and robust estimation results. By using the proposed method, the drugs can be properly separated into several categories with different patterns of URRM, and the pattern of each category can be properly recognized with selected covariates, which achieves the goals of clustering, variable selection, and regression simultaneously, and provides valuable insights into the improvement of the URRM for drug coating. Numerical studies show that the proposed method works well in practice.

Authors: Valko Klara Livia , Zhang Tong
Published: January 2021

Chloroquine and hydroxy-chloroquine already established as anti-malarial and lupus drugs have recently gained renewed attention in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic. Bio-mimetic HPLC methods have been used to measure the protein and phospholipid binding of the racemic mixtures of the drugs. The tissue binding and volume of distribution of the enantiomers have been estimated. The enantiomers can be separated using Chiralpak AGP HPLC columns. From the α-1-acid-glycoprotein (AGP) binding, the lung tissue binding can be estimated for the enantiomers. The drugs have a large volume of distribution, showed strong and stereoselective glycoprotein binding, medium-strong phospholipid-binding indicating only moderate phospholipidotic potential, hERG inhibition and promiscuous binding. The drug efficiency of the compounds was estimated to be greater than 2 % which indicates a high level of free biophase concentration relative to dose. The biomimetic properties of the compounds support the well-known tolerability of the drugs.
Is China’s Textile Industry Still a Labour-Intensive Industry?
Authors: Zhang Jianlei , He Lin , Cheng Longdi
Published: January 2021

Is China’s textile industry (CTI) still a laboor-intensive one? To answer this question, this study measures the capital-labour intensity and technology intensity of CTI and its sub-sectors during 2006-2018, then applies factor intensity classification and cluster analysis to identify their industrial attributes. The results show that CTI and its sub-sectors are still the labour- and non-technology-intensive. All the indexes of capital-labour intensity and technology intensity of CTI and its sub-sectors are below 100, lower than the average of industry sectors, indicating that they are not separate from the category of labour-intensive industry and still heavily dependent on labour. And cluster analysis verifies the industrial classification results. So CTI still needs to keep on increasing its capital intensity and technology intensity to achieve the goal of industrial transformation and upgrading in the future.

Authors: Kumar V. , Prakash C. , Manigandan G. , Sampath V.R.
Published: January 2021

Most of the time, a certain degree of stretch prominently and incrementally occurs in intimate wear, leisure wear, sportswear, medical textiles etc., during their action. Variations in the stretch gradient would definitely cause changes in the air permeability of knitted fabrics. The influence of variables such as loop length, the presence of an elastomeric component and fabric structure on the air permeability of cotton single jersey and pique knitted fabrics in a stretched state was critically analysed. In this work, changes in the air permeability of cotton jersey samples with and without elastomer were investigated and reported by keeping the samples in static up to an incremental stretch of 40% at a rate of 10% of the stretch gradient, in a dry relaxed state, wet relaxed state and fully relaxed state.

Published: January 2021

Heavy metals discharged from textile production have serious impacts on human beings and the environment. Chemical footprint (ChF) methodology is an important method in quantifying the environmental loads of discharged chemical pollutants. With the help of ChF methodology, this study used the mean impact method to assess the environmental loads of heavy metals discharged from a textile enterprise. The results showed that the ChFs of discharged heavy metals calculated based on the aquatic environment of Lake Tai and Lake Poyang were 1.43E+8L and 4.64E+8L respectively. Zinc was the largest contributor, followed by copper, lead and cadmium for the two lakes.

Published: January 2021

In this paper the authors focused on the analysis of relations between the material (such as knitted fabrics with a two and three dimensional structure) configurations and hygienic parameters of packages. In order to measure hygienic properties, the water vapour permeability and absorption were both used with the thermal resistance capacity. The connector role in the packages measured was played by air (in the case of two – layered package), polyurethane foam and three – dimensional knitted fabric with similar characteristics to polyurethane foam in respect of the mass per square metre and thickness. On the basis of the results obtained, a statistical model of the barrier was created and the changes in water vapour transport process described.

In this paper, printing parameters for the sublimation printing of polyester fabrics like the number of strokes, the sublimation paper weight in grams per square metre, the fusing temperature and time were optimised using the Tauguchi experimental design technique. In the evaluations the signal-to-noise ratio was used. Sixteen experiments were performed with respect to the L 16 Orthogonal array design for the Tauguchi approach. The results show a considerable improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio as compared to the initial conditions. Through this study, not only can optimum printing conditions for sublimation printed polyester fabrics be obtained but also the significant factors that affect water vapour resistance.
Intensification of Press Felt Dewatering for Tissue Machines
Authors: Reczulski Mariusz
Published: January 2021

This article describes a method of dewatering press felts using a blow-through device. The essence of this method is pressing out free water contained in the felt with unheated air at a slight overpressure. The usefulness of this method for various types of felt used in tissue machines was tested. The results showed that the effectiveness of this process depends mainly on the proper selection of the pressure difference on both sides of the dewatering felt and of the blow-through time (dwell time). The increase in the dryness of felts dewatered by means of the air blow-through method is closely related to the structure and contamination of the felt. In the second part of the study, the felts were additionally dewatered using a suction chamber with a vacuum of 20 kPa. Unfortunately, the increase in the dryness of the felts by means of a vacuum was not very high, only up to 2.8%.

Background. The objective of this study was to determine whether individuals with hip osteoarthritis who undergo THA have higher HRQOL scores than those awaiting the procedure; An additional aim was to investigate associated factors exerting an impact on HRQOL.
Materials and methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted. Participants were divided into two groups: pre-THA and post-THA. Functional capacity was assessed using the Harris Hip Score, and HRQOL was measured using a validated and adapted version of the WOMAC questionnaire. A multivariate analysis of the WOMAC results was used to identify the main variables associated with HRQOL in both groups.
Results. The post-THA group had higher HRQOL scores (100.4 ± 88.5) than the pre-THA group (197.8 ± 54.1). The domains Pain (68.0 ± 19.0 versus 34.7 ± 30.8), Stiffness (61.2 ± 28.9 versus 29.9 ± 33.1), and Phy­sical Act­­vity (68.6 ± 16.1 versus 36.6 ± 30.2) also had higher scores in the post-THA group. Pain was the variable most frequently associated with the increase in post-THA HRQOL scores. Other variables such as occupation, time of diagnosis, joint function, and body weight also had an impact on the HRQOL of both groups.
Conclusions. 1. Individuals who had undergone THA showed higher HRQOL scores in all domains when compared to those still awaiting the procedure, and pain reduction was the variable most strongly associated with the improvement in quality of life of those patients. 2. Occupation and mobility were associated with the Stiffness domain of QOL; Occupation also had a bearing on health-related quality of life as a whole. 3. Physical Activity of the WOMAC instrument was associated with time of diagnosis, patient’s body weight, and function as assessed by the HHS.
