A Doença Pulmonar Obstrutiva Crônica (DPOC) é avaliada com uma patologia inflamatória crônica e gradativa que ocorre nos pulmões quando partículas de gases tóxicos são inaladas, provocando um bloqueio das vias respiratórias, afeta o sistema respiratório e apresenta repercussões no sistema muscular e cardiovascular. O estudo tem como objetivo analisar e comparar os efeitos do exercício ativo e dos exercícios respiratórios na qualidade de vida de pacientes com DPOC. O trabalho é uma revisão bibliográfica, foram realizadas pesquisas nas bases de dados científicas: SciELO, PubMed e MEDLINE. Os descritores foram utilizados conforme os Descritores em Ciências da Saúde - DeCS/MeSH. Dentre os artigos encontrados foram inclusos artigos dos anos 2016 a 2021 nos idiomas inglês e português que abordassem o tema proposto. Após a análise dos dados foi possível observar que as duas terapias são efetivas no tratamento da DPOC, sendo que a terapias por meio dos exercícios ativos melhoram a tolerância ao exercício e a capacidade física geral do paciente e os exercícios respiratórios melhoram a capacidade respiratória e a mecânica pulmonar. Assim sendo, percebe-se que, as duas terapias quando realizadas de interligada o paciente terá um benefício muito maior.

Objective To investigate associations of early and middle adulthood
physical activity (PA) with symptoms of pelvic floor disorders (PFD),
i.e. stress urinary incontinence (SUI), urge urinary incontinence (UUI),
fecal incontinence (FI), constipation or defecation difficulties (CDD),
and feeling of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) among middle-aged women.
Design A cross-sectional, observational study with retrospective
physical activity assessment. Setting University Research Laboratory.
Sample A random population sample of 1098 47-to-55-year-old Finnish
women. Methods PA history, current PA, and demographical and
gynaecological variables were assessed using self-report questionnaires.
Logistic regression analyses were applied to study associations of past
and current PA with PFDs. Associations of demographical and
gynaecological variables with PFDs were studied and their potential
confounding effect was controlled in multiple logistic regression
models. Main outcome measures Structured questionnaire-assessed
retrospective physical activity history at the age of 17–29, current
physical activity at middle age, and prevalence of SUI, UUI, FI, CDD and
POP. Results Current PA was not independently associated with the
occurrence of the PFDs. Middle-aged women with early adulthood history
of competitive sports were more likely to experience UUI (OR 2.161, 95%
CI 1.102–4.237, p=0.025) but not SUI, FI or POP, while women with
history of regular PA were more likely to experience FI (OR 4.405, 95%
CI 1.049–18.493, p=0.043) but not other PFDs. Conclusions Competitive
sports during early adulthood may increase the risk of UUI at middle
age. The history of regular PA may increase the risk of FI. Keywords

Material Contract Redactions and Cybersecurity Breaches
Authors: Hughes Hilary , Smith Thomas J. , Walton Stephanie
Published: August 2022

SYNOPSIS

Material contract redactions are designed to protect firms’ temporary proprietary information until contracts can come to fruition. Protecting confidential and proprietary information from potential public disclosure is important for a firm’s future. Redactions provide confidential treatment for up to ten years before the contract information must become public. However, the nondisclosure nature of redacting material contract information could nonetheless signal potential value to external stakeholders and attract cybersecurity breaches. In this study, we investigate whether redactions are associated with a greater likelihood of future breaches. We find that redactions are associated with greater probability of a breach in the three years immediately following a redaction. Further, the relationship appears driven by certain contracts and the actual act of redacting. Our results suggest that the act of redacting material contract information provides a signal about a firm’s disclosure behavior, increasing cybersecurity risks.
Balancing Emic-Etic Tensions in the Field-, Head-, and Text-Work of Ethnographic Management Accounting Research
Authors: Bamber Matthew , Tekathen Matthäus
Published: August 2022

Ethnographers must balance the tensions between the emic and etic dimensions of research. For example, they must simultaneously become an emic insider of the group studied, while at the same time retain their analytical distance to remain an etic outsider. This article discusses how these tensions manifest in head-, field-, and text-work by reviewing 52 self-declared management accounting ethnographies published between 1997 and 2017. The review shows that there is an (over-)emphasis on a realist tale-telling approach, in which the author’s voice is almost always effaced as tale-tellers detach themselves from the tales being told. As alternatives, we highlight confessional and impressionist tale-telling approaches. Although all three approaches offer advantages for addressing the emic-etic balance, they also all involve sacrifices. Thus, we urge researchers to give deeper consideration to text-work choices in management accounting ethnographies.

'Participation' is increasingly emphasized in Norwegian public discourse. Here, 'participation' is presented as something that happens and should increase within, together with and beyond the traditional areas of the welfare state. In this chapter, we examine such official representations and understandings of 'participation'. We examine the articulations and understandings of participation in a broad sense and outline implications for the design of services and for distribution of tasks. We present and discuss findings based on a review and subsequent discourse analysis of key white papers - 'reports to the Storting (Norwegian Parliament)' - published in the period 2006 to 2020.

In the chapter we demonstrate how the reports to the Storting present participation as broad and porous phenomena with numerous and interconnected positive attributes: citizen participation will increase innovative capacity and efficiency, be health-promoting for individuals and groups, be cost-effective for society, and lead to social justice. As such, participation is presented as exclusively positive and thus appears unapproachable. Participation is good for the people, good for the (local) community, and good for the government. However, we do not participate enough, according to the reports: everyone can participate more, no matter what prerequisites you have and no matter how frail you are. Critical discussions about practical implications of increased participation as well as relations of power are largely missing, we argue, related for instance to varying conditions and opportunities for vulnerable groups.

Usually, to simulate the operation of an insulating respirator, the problem of sorption dynamics is solved. The result obtained under the given initial and boundary conditions uniquely describes the evolution of impurity breakthrough through the filter. However, the coordinate of the elementary act of sorption is reliably unpredictable. Therefore, a probability-theoretic approach to modeling the workflow of an insulating respirator on chemically bound oxygen is possible. This publication is devoted to its further development. An additional powerful resource is connected to the modeling of sorption dynamics in the form of the main theorems of the probability theory. The random coordinate of the elementary act of adsorption of the CO2 molecule, its dispersion, and the time of operation of the respirator are considered as a system of continuous, correlationally related random variables. Symmetry with respect to the permutation of the arguments of the conditional probability density of the coordinate of the elementary act of sorption is established for a given time value. It is shown that regardless of the critical breakthrough of the sorbitol, the period of the protective action of the filter is proportional to its length. With the help of the obtained correlation dependences, Chebyshev inequality and the condition of extremity of entropy, the normal asymptotic behavior of the evolution of the distribution law of the random coordinate of the elementary act of sorption and the related breakthrough of the sorbate through the filter is established. The limits of applicability of such asymptotics are substantiated. The dependence of the dimensionless length of the filter, which is sufficient for the formation of the normal asymptotics of the sorption dynamics, on the level of critical impurity breakthrough was constructed. The minimum value of the critical breakthrough is indicated, which allows to use relations that reflect the normal asymptotics of the process to determine the period of the filter protective action.

According to the data of the International Labor Organization (ILO), 2.8 million people died in recent years as a result of industrial accidents, and occupational diseases, including 400 000 people from injuries. Occupational injuries are a controlled process and an indicator of the occupational safety. Professional activity of the firefighters and rescuers is often associated with the extreme conditions. It is accompanied by the excessive stress on the functional reserves of the body, an increased likelihood of erroneous actions, injuries, and professionally accelerated diseases. Analysis is presented related to the occupational injuries and deaths of the employees in the world and in Russia. This data is compared with the statistics on the personnel of the EMERCOM of Russia in 2011–2020. The injury rate is calculated per 10, 000 people, deaths per 100, 000. Information on the occupational injuries and deaths in the world is taken from the official website of the ILO statistical department. Data for Russia are from Rosstat publications. Information on the EMERCOM of Russia - from the database of the Federal State Budgetary Institution VNIIPO EMERCOM of Russia. A trend towards a decrease in the occupational injuries in the world, Russia and among the employees of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations was revealed. The relative stability of the death rates at work in the world was noted, while in Russia they are decreasing. Ratio of the industrial injuries to the fatal ones in the world is 110, in Russia — 22, according to the EMERCOM personnel — 14.5. An assumption is made about the underestimation of the number of occupational injuries in Russia and EMERCOM of Russia. Negative consequences of this phenomenon are formulated.

Safety of the personnel at the construction site from falling from a height depends on the control of risks and the minimization of work at height, as well as on the compliance with the occupational safety rules. The article touches upon the topic of studying one of the solutions for sealing process holes when laying engineering communications at a construction site. The purpose of the study is to provide comprehensive and individual protection against falls from a height. The tasks that were solved during the study: development of a methodology with dynamic and static load on the seam during operation; checking the residual strength; development of criteria for operability and safe use; analysis of the results obtained with the recommendations for use. The tests consist in modeling the operating mode of the mounted seam between the facade of the building and the floor slab for the impact of static and dynamic loads before the appearance of deformations. Previously, the seam with a width of 200 mm is filled with layers: mineral wool, fire sealant, concrete screed with metal mesh reinforcement. The load is transmitted through the installation, which stimulates the fall of an object or the impact of a person foot with a load, the bearing capacity of the sandwich is checked. The data obtained are analyzed and correlated with the criteria of the operability and safe use. Results of the study: a methodology was developed that can be used for testing various structural solutions to seal the seam; the proposed method allows to determine bearing capacity of the structure and to check the minimum destructive load. The presented design of filling process holes reduces the risk when the user may fall into a sealed process hole during operation and increases the overall safety factor at the construction site.

Published: August 2022

Peculiarities are considered related to the numerical integration of the diffusion equations for describing the formation and motion (drift) of explosive clouds formed on the territories of industrial facilities as a result of the accidental releases of combustible substances. The relevance of the study is associated with the fact that when the contents of an emergency release are mixed with an air, an explosive and flammable mixture is formed. The process of its combustion is determined by the volumetric concentration of the combustible substance. At concentrations below the lower concentration limit of ignition, combustion or explosion of the mixture is completely excluded. If the concentration of the mixture is between the lower and upper concentration limits of ignition, then there is an explosion. When the concentration of the mixture is above the upper concentration limit of ignition, a flash fire or a fireball occurs. Thus, the information is required on the parameters of the explosive mixture that may form due to the accidental release. Accidental releases can occur under the most adverse atmospheric environment and weather conditions. As a result, the focus of the article is on determining the parameters of an explosive cloud in the conditions of drift under the influence of a slight movement of the atmosphere (the most unfavorable scenario for the development of an accident). The results of numerical calculations of the diffusion equation with allowance for the mobility of the atmosphere are presented. The presence of a weak wind is the most unfavorable situation in terms of the drift of an explosive cloud. The methods and criteria are substantiated that allow obtaining the most correct results of calculating its motion.
“Alguien tenía que pagar, alguien tenía que estar en la cárcel”. Relato de vida de una mujer acusada de infanticidio
Authors: Actis María Florencia
Published: August 2022

El texto expone la trayectoria de vida de una mujer detenida desde el año 2001, condenada a prisión perpetua por el asesinato de sus tres hijas, en manos de su expareja. Se plantea como objetivo analizar el papel del sistema de justicia ante casos de infanticidio y sus efectos en la vida de las mujeres, pero también el castigo adicional que supone atravesar el sistema carcelario bajo el estigma de ser “infanto” (asesinar a un hijo o hija). Se conjugan estrategias del método biográfico y etnográfico, en tanto se hilvanan fragmentos de una entrevista biográfica, con relatos cruzados y registros de campo elaborados entre 2016 y 2020, durante el proceso de acompañamiento en su tránsito tanto adentro como afuera de la cárcel. Centralmente, se observa que la justicia, mediante un continuum de decisiones-omisiones, funciona como un dispositivo de producción de sufrimiento que borra y profundiza los contextos de violencia, desigualdad y soledad de las imputadas. La investigación representa un aporte al campo de estudios feministas ya que permite visualizar y problematizar las violencias de género específicas, y multidireccionales, a las que se ven expuestas las mujeres acusadas de infanticidio en Argentina, pero también las resistencias que construyen o formas de “ganarle al sistema”.

Simulation Research of Electrostatic Precipitator Power Supply Voltage Control System Based on Finite Element Differential Equation
Authors: Cao Xianqi
Published: August 2022

An electrostatic precipitator is an essential piece of equipment to eliminate atmospheric dust pollution. Its power supply is of great significance to the working efficiency and reliability of the dust collector. This paper uses field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technology to design an electrostatic precipitator power controller. In this paper, a fuzzy control scheme with variable scale factors is adopted to make the highest average voltage between the two poles of the precipitator better approach the critical breakdown voltage. In this paper, the transfer function is derived based on the finite element differential equation and the method of three-dimensional drawing. In this way, the influence of parameters such as the coupling inductance of the pulse power supply, the coupling coefficient, and the parasitic resistance of the dust removal chamber on the load oscillation can be obtained. It is found that the control system can control the electrostatic precipitator power well. It can significantly improve dust removal efficiency.
Chemically Reacting Jeffrey Fluid Flow Over a Deformable Porous Layer with Entropy Generation Analysis
Authors: Das Utpal Jyoti
Published: August 2022

Entropy generation of a steady Jeffrey fluid flow over a deformable vertical porous layer is analysed with consideration of a first-order chemical reaction and thermal diffusion. The porous material is modelled as a homogeneous binary mixture of fluid and solid phases where each point in the binary mixture is occupied concurrently by the fluid and solid. The combined phenomenon of solid deformation and fluid movement is taken into account. The impact of relevant parameters on the fluid velocity, solid displacement, temperature and concentration profiles is discussed. It is noticed that the Jeffrey fluid parameter enhances the entropy generation number, fluid velocity and solid displacement profiles, but a reverse effect is seen for the Bejan number. Further, entropy generation, fluid velocity and solid displacement reduce due to the higher estimates of the chemical reaction parameter, while the Bejan number enhances.
Development of Dynamic Load Factors for Human Walking Excitation for Floor Vibration Design

Published: August 2022

This paper discusses the derivation of a set of dynamic load factors for calculation of walking response on the basis of measurements made during a biomechanics research carried out with young adults. Firstly, a quite large number of experimental data on single footstep force were collected. The single footstep forces were then superimposed to generate the force time history for a continuous walk. This was followed by the transformation of the resultant force to the frequency domain from which the dynamic load factors for the first ten harmonics of a pacing rate can be extracted. A statistical analysis was employed on the dynamic load factors to acquire their design values in terms of the 90-th or 95-th percentile. The waking force function recommended by various design guides and that developed in the paper were then used in a comprehensive finite element model to predict the vibration level of a building floor. Current design guides on floor vibration normally suggest using four harmonics in the walking force whereas load factors for ten harmonics were developed in this paper. The acceleration response of the floor was found to increase by 5-33% when walking harmonics beyond the fourth harmonic were considered. The inclusion of higher harmonics would therefore lead to a more conservative estimation of the floor response.
MHD Free Convective Heat and Mass Transfer Flow from a Vertical Porous Surface with Variable Thermal Conductivity, Variable Mass Diffusivity and Thermal Diffusion Including Viscous Dissipation and Chemical Reaction
Authors: Phakirappa J. , Priyanka S. , Veena P.H. , Pravin V.K.
Published: August 2022

An analysis is carried out to study chemically reactive, viscous dissipative effects of an incompressible and electrically conducting fluid with MHD free convection adjacent to a vertical surface with variable thermal conductivity (VTD) and variable mass diffusivity (VMD). An approximate numerical solution for the steady laminar boundary layer flow over a wall of the surface in the presence of species concentration and thermal mass diffusion has been studied. Using numerical techniques the governing boundary layer equations are solved to get the exact solution. Numerical calculations are carried out for different values of dimensionless parameters. The results are exhibited through various graphs and it is observed from the analysis of the results that the velocity field is appreciably influenced by the magnetic effect, porous effect, chemical reaction and buoyancy ratio between the species and thermal diffusion at the wall of the surface.

Authors: Razooqi Ahmed Ibrahim , Abbas Naseer M. , Ghazi Sara Saad
Published: August 2022

In this paper, a cold multi-pass extrusion process for a 15mm in diameter solid 2024-T3 aluminum alloy rod was carried out using three dies to obtain three different diameters of 14mm, 13mm, and 12mm. The microstructure, hardness, and corrosion behavior were investigated before and after the extrusion process. Load-Displacement data were recorded during each extrusion process. The electrochemical corrosion test was made in a 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution using potentiostat instrument under static potentials test. Corrosion current was recorded to determine the corrosion rate for specimens. The results showed that the extrusion load increased with the number of extrusion passes, which is also seen in hardness test results. In addition, the corrosion rate decreased with the increase in the number of extrusion passes. This is due to severe plastic deformation, which generates a fine grain structure of (AlCu) and (AlCuMg) components.
Examination of immunogenic properties of recombinant antigens based on p22 protein from African swine fever virus
Authors: Díaz Carlos , Salát Jiří , Břínek Kolařová Dagmar , Celer Vladimír , Frébort Ivo
Published: August 2022

Introduction

The single member of the Asfarviridae family is African swine fever virus (ASFV). This double-stranded DNA virus infects wild and farmed swine and loses the pig industry large sums of money. An inner envelope, capsid, and outer envelope are parts of the ASFV particle containing structural proteins playing different roles in the process of infection or host immune defence evasion. When expressed by the baculovirus system, the p22 protein from the inner envelope was found to induce partial protection against a virulent virus strain. This study aimed to express a part of this protein in a different system and evaluate its immunogenicity.

Material and Methods

We designed two proteins, the extracellular (C terminal) part of the p22 protein (p22Ct) and its fusion with the heat-labile enterotoxin B subunit from Escherichia coli (LTB-p22Ct), which is supposed to be a potent enhancer of the immune response. Both proteins were produced in the E. coli expression system and subsequently used for mice immunisation to analyse their safety and immunogenicity.

Results

The protein fused with LTB did not show the expected adjuvant properties and did not prove safe, because abscess formation was observed after immunisation. In contrast, immunisation with the p22Ct protein alone induced a higher antibody titre but caused no adverse symptoms.

Conclusion

These results show the high potential of the p22Ct region as an immunogenic protein for ASFV serological detection purposes.

Published: August 2022

Introduction

Acute myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the most common causes of death in humans in highly developed countries. Among its most frequent complications affecting the patient’s prognosis are cardiac arrhythmias: ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF).

Material and Methods

The study aimed to characterise arrhythmias in 19 pigs subjected to experimentally induced MI obtained by occlusion of the proximal left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery using an angioplasty balloon. The anaesthetic protocol was modified to reduce mortality by including procedures stabilising haemodynamic disorders which develop during episodes of ischaemia and arrhythmia. During 30 min of experimentally induced ischaemia, the heart rhythm was recorded using a 12-lead ECG. The time, frequency, and type of arrhythmias were analysed.

Results

Ventricular arrhythmias were found in 94.74% of the treated pigs. The most common were ventricular premature complexes, reported in 88.89% of pigs with arrhythmia. Ventricular tachycardia was recorded in 66.67% and ventricular fibrillation in 50% of pigs with arrhythmias.

Conclusion

Myocardial infarction due to proximal LAD occlusion is characterised by a high incidence of ventricular arrhythmias, especially VT and VF. Because of the high survival rate, this MI porcine model may serve as a model for research on acute ischaemic ventricular arrhythmias in humans. Additionally, it reduces the total number of animals required for testing while yielding meaningful results, which is in line with the 3R principle.
A possible anti-anxiety effect of appetitive aggression and a possible link to the work of Donald Winnicott
Authors: Grillo Luigi
Published: August 2022

Various pleasant sensations that give a particularly intense pleasure are able to improve anxiety. In the present study I consider the possibility that their anti-anxiety action depends on the strong pleasure they provide, and I propose a possible mechanism of this action. According to some studies, also appetitive aggression (an aggression that provokes a strong pleasure and that is performed only for the pleasure it provides) can improve anxiety, and in this article I consider the possibility that the pleasure of appetitive aggression is able to reduce anxiety by the same mechanism I have proposed for other intense pleasurable sensations.

The aggression performed by a child against the mother or against a substitute for the mother in the first period of life (a period in which this aggression is not dangerous) is a recurring theme throughout the work of of Donald Winnicott. Winnicott stresses that this aggression is necessary for the normal development of the child, and that the child must be free to practise it. According to Winnicott, this aggression is highly pleasurable and is not a response to unpleasant or hostile external situations. For these characteristics it seems to correspond to appetitive aggression in the adult that has been found to be able to reduce anxiety. Consequently, aggression performed by the child in the first period of life may also relieve anxiety, in the same way that appetitive aggression helps against anxiety in the adult.

In his writings, Winnicott returns several times to an unthinkable or archaic anxiety that children experience when they feel abandoned by their mother for a period that is too long for them, and all children, according to Winnicott, live on the brink of this anxiety. In this study I propose the hypothesis that aggression in the early period of life may be necessary for children because the intense pleasure it provides may help them against this continuously impending anxiety.

Applying multiple regression analysis, this study unveiled a positive and significant impact of multinationality, occourance of transactions with tax-haven-countries, and intangible assets on companies’s transfer pricing aggressiveness.
Local Government Capital Expenditure, Internal Supervision, Wealth and Human Development: Evidence from Indonesia
Authors: Saragih Jopinus
Published: August 2022

This study examines the influence of local government capital expenditures, internal supervision, and wealth on human development in Indonesian local governments. Using secondary data from the authorized government institutions from 2017 to 2019, a set of unbalanced panel data with total 1,437 observations was generated. Using panel data regression analysis, this study discovers that local governments in Java, Bali and Sumatra have a better human development achievement, followed by Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and Eastern Indonesia. City local governments also have a higher average of human development index achievement than regency local governments. Further, we find that local government capital expenditures and internal supervision positively affect human development, while local government wealth has insignificant effect on human development. Our findings imply that local governments are suggested to increase the amount of capital expenditures for infrastructure development, especially for local governments that are relatively underdeveloped in Indonesia.

Published: August 2022

The development of businesses with various advantages has made the competition even more challenging, so it requires business people to make particular strategies in dealing with business competition. A business must be able to move forward with its potential and minimize its weaknesses so that it can continue to run and survive in the growing competition. The problems experienced by micro-scale business actors in Semarang Regency are the weak preparation of business strategies and the lack of optimization of their capabilities.

A database is a collection of data that can be classified into two types: SQL (structure query language), which is associated with relational databases, and NoSQL (non-relational SQL), which is associated with distributed databases. As the world becomes increasingly technologically advanced and computerized, the amount of information grows exponentially, resulting in data. In the majority of studies, the NoSQL database is referred to as "NoSQL." Firebase, a NoSQL database, is used to exchange data with a CSV file on a php-based website in this study. Two CSV files of 1000 and 4997 records were used for both the importing and exporting processes to collect the experimental results. Firebase's speed was examined by exchanging csv files with a php-based website in this research.

APETITOS TITÁNICOS Y TIRÁNICOS CARIBEÑOS: FUKÚ, NARRACIONES VORACES Y CUERPOS LITERARIOS EN LA MARAVILLOSA VIDA BREVE DE ÓSCAR WAO DE JUNOT DÍAZ
Authors: Ortiz Gómez Silvia
Published: August 2022

The preface for Junot Díaz’s The Brief Wondrous Life of Óscar Wao (2007) introduces Galactus, Marvel’s “Devourer of Worlds”, as a disturbing reading clue. His presence encourages this article to read the novel’s colonial, social, and narrative dynamics from the acts of devouring and being devoured; both key to the cannibalistic artistic and historical traditions of the Caribbean. Such narrative appetites will bring forward, and contrast, imaginaries of literary resistance created by Óscar Wao, as well as those of dehumanizing devouring inherited by Colonization, Trujillo’s regime, and the novel’s narrator himself.
