METHODOLOGY TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF WATER TO SUTISFY THE NEEDS OF A MILITARY UNIT TO DO LAUNDRY IN THE FIELD WHEN DEPLOYABLE LAUNDRY AND BATH MODULES ARE USED
Authors: Kryvohuz Henadiy , Bulhakov Ruslan , Slutskiy Yevgen
Published: May 2022

Due to the fact, that military publications of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) do not assign a methodology to determine the quantity of water required to meet the needs of a military unit, while doing laundry in field conditions whatever the situation; and taking into account the technical characteristics of modern washing machines installed in Deployable Laundry and Bath Modules (DLBM), the purpose of the article is to develop the required methodology.
To achieve this goal, the following methods were applied: the method of analysis of the requirements contained in regulatory documents and technical characteristics of washing machines installed in DLBM and DLM which are integrated into the DLBS; as well as the method of synthesis to provide proposals for the algorithm which is used to determine the main indicators of this methodology.
Based on the analysis of normative documents, the conclusion was made that the water consumption, which satisfies the needs of a military unit for wash water to do laundry in field conditions whatever the situation, is not considered.
Water consumption is related to two indicators of the average water consumption required to wash 1 kg of dry uniforms and towels, and the actual ability to provide laundry in field conditions during a certain period of military activities.
While the theoretical significance of the article lies in the development of the required methodology mentioned above, its practical significance lies in providing recommendations for the application of this methodology during the operational preparation phase as well as the operation itself and under conditions with limited possibility to do laundry.
The developed methodology provides the algorithm which can be used to determine the quantity of wash water to satisfy the need of a military unit to do laundry in field conditions. The algorithm considers required water reserves and water consumption.

Published: May 2022

La tasa de deserción escolar en jóvenes puertorriqueños pudiera estar mediada por dificultades en el funcionamiento ejecutivo (FE). Estas dificultades pudieran estar relacionadas a auto-metarepresentaciones inexactas de FE. Las metarepresentaciones de FE pueden evaluarse mediante autoreportes completados por los jóvenes. Pocas investigaciones han examinado la relación entre las metarepresentaciones de FE y el FE desempeñado en pruebas psicométricas de ejecución. El propósito de este estudio es examinar las diferencias entre el FE desempeñado en pruebas psicométricas de ejecución y el FE autoevaluado en una muestra de jóvenes puertorriqueños en edades de 12 a 18 años. Se utilizó un diseño transversal-descriptivo de muestras-pareadas intrasujetos. Participaron 30 jóvenes quienes completaron el Cognitive Assessment System-2 Español (CAS-2: ES) como medida de FE en pruebas psicométricas de ejecución y el Comprehensive Executive Function Inventory (CEFI) como medida del FE autoevaluado. Los resultados la prueba t de muestras-pareadas intrasujetos resultó significativa t(29) = -3.54, p < .001 (CAS-2: ES M = 91.63, DE = 11.75, rango 71-114; CEFI M = 104.50, DE = 12.71, rango 86-135) con un tamaño del efecto moderado  (d = .65).  Los resultados sugieren que la muestra del estudio tiende a sobrevalorar su FE. Esta auto-sobrevaloración pudiera dificultar la evaluación certera del FE. Es imperativo adoptar un acercamiento combinado de evaluación que incluya medidas de FE en pruebas psicométricas de ejecución y de FE autoevaluado para tener una visión representativa del FE, desarrollar intervenciones precisas que promuevan el desarrollo de FE y así prevenir la deserción escolar en Puerto Rico.
The Impact of Digital Media on Consumer Culture
Authors: Rendeci Zehra Cansu
Published: May 2022

Changes after the coronavirus pandemic did not only change the way individuals protect their well-being, but also their lifestyles and consumption activities. The relationship between consumption and lifestyle changed; the perspective towards sustainability changed to the detriment of global production changed and the need for mediated communication changed the way in which media is consumed. This, in turn, changed brand narratives too, for individuals favored do-it-yourself activities such as baking, cooking and knitting among many more. In this regard, studying consumer culture alongside varying lifestyles of consumers is important, because it is the only way to fully understand the effects of the changing world and how consumers attach meanings to it. From this perspective, consumer culture must be understood well from the framework of consumer behavior. Despite the growing discussions concerning social media consumption in consumer culture research, there are not many attempts to discover the relationship between consumer culture and social media use. This study aims to identify the role digital media plays in shaping the post-coronavirus consumer culture by reviewing consumer practices, reflecting consumer culture, during the 2020 lockdown in Turkey. A content analysis is carried out with hashtags to illustrate those with the highest engagement rates on Instagram. A critical consumer culture concept is at the center to highlight the elements of a post-coronavirus consumer culture. The study is hoped to contribute to the existing literature by attempting to track the traces of a novel type of consumer culture.

Published: May 2022

Design for dimensional control refers to the engineering field concerned with variation management in different stages of product development. One of the key elements within the framework of design for dimensional control is the effective use of computational techniques for assisting the designer in defining the dimensional tolerances of mechanical parts. Despite the existence of commercial suites for computer-aided tolerancing, in general, they cannot be afforded by small businesses such as job shops and measurement service providers or be used in engineering courses in emerging economies. To bridge this gap, an open-source computational tool has been developed to assist the user with the specification of dimensional and geometrical controls. The proposed tool generates a point cloud from the nominal computer-aided design (CAD) model of the part and applies known virtual deviations to that original point cloud. Based on the modified/deviated point cloud, the user can perform virtual what-if analysis and improve the tolerancing process. This paper describes the implementation of the proposed method and presents the results of preliminary tolerance studies of some real components of the Sirius particle accelerator.

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in the older adults
Authors: Zamergrad M. V. , Masueva S. S.
Published: May 2022

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most common causes of vertigo. The prevalence of the disease increases with age. Course of the disease, clinical manifestations, and treatment approaches at older ages have their own characteristics. Frequent predominance of persistent instability over classic episodes of positional vertigo as well as tendency to chronicity are among the main clinical features of BPPV at advanced age. BPPV in the older adults has a higher frequency of relapses, which is explained by the continuing degenerative processes in the otolith membrane and concomitant diseases that limit physical activity of older patients. The BPPV treatment in the older can be difficult due to the technical problems during canalith repositioning procedures, concomitant diseases and insufficient mobility of patients. Nevertheless, in most cases, the treatment of BPPV in the older adults remains highly effective, which makes early-stage disease detection of great value, even with atypical clinical manifestations. Therefore, it is especially important to perform positional tests in any cases with complaints of dizziness and instability.

Electronic voting or E-voting, is the process by which votes can be cast through electronic means, such as an Electronic Voting Machine or voter’s personal device. This study aims to create a reasonably secure and hassle-free system through which votes can be cast by users through their phones with relative ease as compared to traditional means. Voting takes place through an app on the device, in which the user signs in with their ID and PIN. This lets the user establish secure means of communication with the server by exchanging encryption keys and authorization tokens, which in turn lets the user and server authenticate secure using various factors of authentication, such as a Time-based OTP system, to verify the user’s identity and let the cast their vote securely onto the server’s private blockchain. On the server side there will be “nodes” and an “owner” server that share a private blockchain, which handle counting the votes, authentication, user creation and managing the voting system and its configuration. After all the authentication is done, the user can cast their vote in the final part of the process. This will be verified using a token generated separately on both client and server side. If it matches then the user will get an appropriate message confirming their vote being cast, and upon failure the user can contact the appropriate authority conducting the poll for further action.

Some successes stories of local government in the autonomy era, has proven urged by the courage of leader to make and apply innovations strategies. Keep in mind here is that not all changes are innovations, when the changes made an impact even less favorable for society and government. The role of leader is to determine the existence of innovation and organiza-tional change processes. But innovations and changes will not be run effectively when not supported by the parties affected by these changes both internal and external. In facts, there are many local governments that are still managed under the old pattern, that more advanced the power orientation and less put forward the spirit of public services orientation. Public managers who are committed and really want to realize these commitments are the souls that entrepreneurs seize opportunities as well as weaknesses smartly and follow them with prob-lem solving actions-oriented and increasing outputs. These leaders seem to become really agent of change and transformative leader.

Published: May 2022

Peculiarities of business logistics are related to sustainable transferring processes, which has always been a mundane task of trade processes. The lack of obstruction of the constant flow of this operation causes disruption to the whole economy and can lead not only to the loss of the foremost profits but also negatively influence the sustainable business logistics development. In pursuance of a strong logistical basis, any business entity should have a variety of practices for managing projects of this kind. Unfortunately, recent scientific explorations overlooked the importance of sustainable project management factors, especially during the Covid-19 situation, and rarely focused on how the implementation of these projects changed in the business logistics over the past few years. Based on a scientific litera-ture review, a set of factors influencing sustainable business logistics projects management both externally and inter-nally was identified. Study results showed that external factors influencing sustainability were related to environmental expenditure, local procurement, and the presence of the market as well as the internal connecting reduced resource exploitation, strategy and project life cycle towards rendering effective business logistics projects for the companies operating mainly on third-party logistics (3PL) and ground transport basis.

Published: May 2022

FinTech industry development creates the conditions for financial inclusion, which in turn enables the achievement of 8 out of 17 SDGs towards global sustainable development. Accordingly, to achieve sustainable econom-ic development, full financial inclusion and the SDGs, it is crucial to achieve sustainable FinTech industry development and clarify its relationship with the SDGs, since research to date is limited and examines the connection in the narrow sense. Therefore, this paper presents the pilot study on the contribution of SDG indicators to the sustainable FinTech industry development, indicates the main drivers and provides recommendations for further development of FinTech industry in terms of sustainability. The pilot results of expert assessment show that SDG 8 “Decent Work and Economic Growth” contributes to the sustainable FinTech industry development the most, followed by SDG 9 “Industry, Innova-tion and Infrastructure”, SDG 4 “Quality Education”, SDG 16 “Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions”. The pilot results of the multicriteria assessment show that out of 15 European countries, Lithuania has the most sustainable development in terms of FinTech industry, followed by Estonia, Denmark, Finland. These results suggest that Northern Europe is the most suitable European region for sustainable FinTech industry development.

The present linear (take-make-waste) model of economy representing as well with textile and clothing indus-try has slight chances of effectively adopting sustainable development principles. In recent decades, clothing produc-tion has significantly changed and has grown into a Fast fashion trend characterized by mass production of clothes, low prices, and their short life cycle. Supporting the sustainability, circularity, and resource efficiency of all materials, processes and general business operations is essential in this sector. The paper deals with the issue of the negative envi-ronmental, social, and economic impacts of the clothing industry on society. To better understand the situation on the market, paper analyses and evaluates consumer behavior in the clothing industry through the results of a questionnaire survey. Draws attention to the negatives of the linear economy model and proposes solutions to mitigate the detrimen-tal effect of the clothing industry on the environment and society through education, stricter legislation, simplification of the certification process, support and promotion of organic production, and by highlighting the necessity to move from linear economy to the circular economy. Mitigating the negative impact of the clothing industry is essential to achieving sustainable living conditions.
SUSTAINABLE REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLANNING

Published: May 2022

Issues of global and regional planning have been on the agenda for many years. The aim of this paper is to explore various approaches to regional development and analyse their relevance to reaching sustainability in the area. Despite the well-known idea of sustainability being dependent on the three pillars: economy, society, and environment, we notice that the social aspect, especially the involvement of the local community in the decision-making process of regional developing planning lacks enough attention. In this research, we emphasize the importance of the bottom-up approach of regional planning. We used bibliometric analysis for detecting the state of the art for regional development planning questions, then we examined the problem of forming a system for ensuring the sustainable development of the region and proposed a program-targeted approach to determine the integral indicators of such development. We also suggested stages of implementation of the strategic plan at the regional level. We concluded that it is important to create national development plans utilizing a regional approach, which involves local projects and programs, which benefit not just the economy and ecological state of the regions, but also the inhabitants of those regions.

Authors: Panda Achyut Kumar , Patnaik Satyanarayan , Kumar Sachin
Published: May 2022

In this paper, the kinetic parameters of discarded computer keyboard plastic waste are estimated using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) with four different non-isothermal kinetic models at a wide range of heating rates 5, 10, 15, 20, 40, 60 and 100 °C/min. The gross calorific value of waste computer keyboard plastic is 38.96 MJ/Kg. FT-IR analysis confirms the presence of alcohol, phenol, ether, ester, carboxylic acid, aromatic, and alkene compounds in keyboard plastic waste. The average values of activation energy are calculated as 158.1668, 198.883, 193.612, and 197.765 kJmol−1 from Kissinger, Friedman, FWO, and Coats-Redfern methods, respectively. The kinetic data obtained in this work would be useful for accurate prediction of reaction behaviour and in the design of efficient commercial process for the conversion of such plastic wastes to energy.
Magnetar XTE J1810–197: Spectro-temporal Evolution of Average Radio Emission
Authors: Maan Yogesh , Surnis Mayuresh P. , Chandra Joshi Bhal , Bagchi Manjari
Published: May 2022

We present the long-term spectro-temporal evolution of the average radio emission properties of the magnetar XTE J1810−197 (PSR J1809−1943), following its most recent outburst in late 2018. We report the results from a 2.5 yr monitoring campaign with the upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope, carried out over the frequency range of 300–1450 MHz. Our observations show intriguing time variability in the average profile width, flux density, spectral index, and broadband spectral shape. While the average profile width appears to gradually decrease at later epochs, the flux density shows multiple episodes of radio rebrightening over the course of our monitoring. Our systematic monitoring observations reveal that the radio spectrum has steepened over time, resulting in evolution from a magnetar-like spectrum to a more pulsar-like spectrum. A more detailed analysis reveals that the radio spectrum has a turnover, and that this turnover shifts toward lower frequencies with time. We present the details of our analysis leading to these results, and discuss our findings in the context of magnetar radio emission mechanisms, as well as potential manifestations of the intervening medium. We also briefly discuss whether an evolving spectral turnover could be a ubiquitous property of radio magnetars.

AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic potential of the fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) method for quick identification of microorganisms from positive blood cultures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: QuickFISH BC is a multicolor, qualitative nucleic acid hybridization assay using specific fluorescent-labeled probes for identification of Gram-positive bacteria (S. aureus, Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus spp. – CoNS, E. faecalis, and E. faecium); Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and K. pneumoniaе), and fungi (C. albicans, C. tropicalis, and C. glabrata). This method applied to 72 positive blood cultures obtained from patients admitted at the University Hospital St. George – Plovdiv. A preliminary selection based on Gram staining was performed before the application of the FISH test. All microorganisms were subject to identification by routine biochemical tests, semi-automated and automated systems as well. Statistical data processing included descriptive statistics, nonparametric analysis for testing hypotheses by SPSS v. 22.0, and Microsoft Excel software. p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: FISH detected microorganisms in 63 (87.5%) positive blood cultures, whereas no fluorescent signal was observed in 9 (12.5%). The latter was because not all the microorganisms we identified are included in the test spectrum, for example – Enterobacter spp. and Acinetobacter spp. By FISH, we found S. aureus in 10 (15.9%) cases, CoNS in 20 (31.6%), E. faecalis in 4 (6.4%), and E. faecium in 4 (6.4%). E. coli (n = 7; 11.1%) was the leading cause of bacteremia among Gram-negative bacteria, whereas C. albicans predominated (n = 4; 6.4%) among fungi. CONCLUSION: QuickFISH BC is a rapid and accurate screening method for the identification of some of the most frequent pathogens causing bacteremia. This enables the initiation of the early and adequate antimicrobial therapy. The lack of pathogen identification from positive blood cultures using this method implies the need to continue identification with other tests.

An extensive macrophyte field survey of running and standing waters was conducted from 2016 to 2021 at 786 sampling sites across Croatia as a part of the implementation of the Water Framework Directive. This survey is the first to present a comprehensive floristic catalogue of the freshwater bryoflora, along with an analysis of the distribution and diversity patterns on a national level. In all, 83 bryophyte species (68 mosses and 15 liverworts) were recorded in the 228 sites, with average species richness of 4.17 species per site. The most frequent species were Fontinalis antipyretica, Rhynchostegium riparioides, Leptodictyum riparium and Cratoneuron filicinum. The majority of the species encountered were rarely found, with over 70% of species recorded on less than 10 sampling sites and the majority of the species not being truly aquatic, rather being classified as facultative aquatics. The Dinaric Ecoregion, characterised by clean, cold, fast-flowing karstic rivers, especially in the Continental Subecoregion, supported higher freshwater bryophyte diversity than the lowland Pannonian Ecoregion, with mostly slow, eutrophic lowland watercourses with unstable sandy and gravelly alluvial sediments. Chorological comparison of Croatian eco- and subecoregions revealed the expected dominance of circumpolar and European elements, i.e. temperate chorotypes, as well as some biogeographical differences. The most frequent life forms were aquatic trailings and turfs. Amongst the recorded species, perennials and colonists were the most represented life strategies. The analysis of both the life-form and life-strategy spectra showed some differences amongst the Croatian regions, supporting the fact that the Dinaric Ecoregion provides more truly aquatic habitats and microhabitats suitable for the freshwater bryophytes, while in the Pannonian Ecoregion freshwater bryophytes dominantly inhabit the periodically submerged riparian zones, for example shaded lowland forest streams and rivulets or gently sloping margins of rivers and lakes.
Combining surveys and on-line searching volumes to analyze public awareness about invasive alien species: a case study with the invasive Asian yellow-legged hornet (Vespa velutina) in Italy

The Asian yellow-legged hornet (Vespa velutina) has been invading Italy since 2013, and it was subjected to management programs to counter its spread and raise awareness about its impacts. We administered a questionnaire to a sample of 358 beekeepers in Italy, asking them about their sources of information on V. velutina and their perception of its potential impacts and severity, compared to other threats to beekeeping. We also explored Internet searching volumes on Google and Wikipedia about V. velutina, to identify seasonal and long-term trends in public awareness. Workshops, journals or bulletins, the Internet and word-of-mouth with colleagues were the primary sources of information about V. velutina. Internet searches peaked during the activity period of the species and increased over time, with thousands of visits to Wikipedia each month. Beekeepers believed V. velutina to affect beekeeping by predating on honey bees (Apis mellifera), paralyzing foraging, reducing honey availability and depleting the winter cluster. Moreover, V. velutina has been deemed a severe threat to beekeeping, similar to other threats like pesticides and the varroa mite (Varroa destructor). Our findings indicate that beekeepers seem to be aware of the potential impacts of V. velutina in Italy, both within and outside of its invaded area, considering it a major threat to beekeeping. Moreover, citizens seem to have become progressively curious about the species. Information campaigns on the Internet and specialized magazines might be helpful to communicate about the impacts of the species, and the need to develop diffused surveillance networks.
Des travailleurs sociaux de l’ombre : quelle reconnaissance ?
Authors: Veyrié Nadia
Published: May 2022

Dans cet article, l’auteur, sociologue, formatrice en travail social et chercheuse, interroge le fait que les travailleurs sociaux soient méconnus dans leur profession en France. Ainsi, ils demeurent dans l’ombre. Les tensions entre cette méconnaissance et une possible reconnaissance s’accentuent aussi en fonction d’un néo-libéralisme à toute épreuve.
Pourquoi vouloir (re)mettre les relations et la reconnaissance au cœur du travail social ?
Authors: Rouget Étienne
Published: May 2022

La reconnaissance des personnes accompagnées passe par la reconnaissance des accompagnants, de leurs valeurs métiers et plus largement de la justice sociale entre humains. Cette reconnaissance nécessite un processus « par le bas » partant de la demande avec autrui, se différenciant d’une approche « par le haut » partant de mandats politiques pour ou/et sur autrui. Car si le travail social a une obligation de moyens centrés sur la relation, l’écoute et la parole, il n’a pas d’obligation de résultat comme veulent l’imposer de plus en plus de gouvernants institutionnels comme politiques. Dans la tourmente des archipels générés par l’idéologie gestionnaire, les travailleurs sociaux sont en souffrance comme les canaris des mines qui sentent venir le coup de grisou, appelant à (re)faire société, « retrouver l’individu acteur de l’association qu’il forme avec les autres » pour ensemble (re)construire un monde commun.
Le paradoxe de la reconnaissance dans le travail social. Le cas des éducateurs de prévention spécialisée

Cet article est le fruit d’un travail collaboratif avec un groupe d’éducateurs de prévention spécialisée. Les résultats mettent en avant le paradoxe de la reconnaissance qui frappe ces professionnels dont on reconnait le savoir-faire, l’« aller vers », mais qui sont dans le même temps les premières victimes du recul institutionnel.
La perspective des collectifs au travail face aux enjeux de reconnaissance en travail social
Authors: Barbe Mylène , Grenier Josée
Published: May 2022

Plusieurs défis se présentent aux travailleurs.euses sociaux.ales au Québec dans leur pratique au sein des services publics. Les normes en place, influencées par le courant néolibéral, imposent une vision normative des problèmes sociaux générant des tensions éthiques aux professionnels.les en place. De plus, les multiples transformations survenues au fil des années dans les organisations entraînent divers enjeux au travail : pénurie de main-d’œuvre, surcharge de travail, critères restrictifs d’accès aux services, modes de gestion inspirés de la Nouvelle gestion publique, reddition de comptes, etc. De ces enjeux découlent une perte de sens au travail et un manque de reconnaissance de la profession. Comment retrouver un sens au travail dans un tel contexte ? La perspective des collectifs au travail apparaît comme étant une voie intéressante à explorer.
