Investigating Human-Rare Historic Book Interaction among Young Adults
Authors: Sonnenwald Diane H. , McElligott Jason
Published: March 2023

This paper reports on research conducted to improve understanding of human-rare historic book interaction as a necessary first step in order to design and develop physical-virtual renderings of rare books that provide integrated haptic, audio, olfactory, visual and cognitive human-rare book interaction for the public. Our synthesis of relevant literature proposes that current research and technology can be categorized according to five characteristics: expected users, content and content management, navigation, presentation, and interaction control. Our research investigates how young adults (novices) in northern Europe interact with a rare historic book and their reflections about their interaction. Results indicate that interaction engendered appreciation and curiosity regarding individual human behaviour and social practices, and regarding design and technology for novices. Interaction also had an affective impact, eliciting personal memories and emotions. Participants reported that interacting only visually with books or their representations would not have afforded the same results. The results suggest several design recommendations for future physical-virtual renderings of rare historic books.

Authors: Melro Ana , Oliveira Lídia
Published: March 2023

n Portugal, Social Entrepreneurship is evolving. New projects/initiatives or organizations are created everyday focused on the positive impact they can achieve. It is important to understand who the target population of these projects is and what their major intervention areas are. This goal seeks a wider one which is to understand the rise of Communities of Practice (CoP) in the specific context of Social Entrepreneurship, specifically how social entrepreneurs beneficiate from CoP to solve the problems they encounter and how Social Entrepreneurship Institute-Social Business School (IES-SBS) can be a catalyst of those CoP. Since social entrepreneurs develop their work apart in Portuguese territory, communication skills and tools are also very important variables to analyze, in order to understand Community Learning Networks.

Human communication is organized in diverse ways in verbal art in particular. Oral literary forms reflect unusual use of language at both literary and semantic levels. In this paper, the researcher looks into language of folkloric verbal expression by exploring sense relations and literary devices in selected proverbs and riddles. The study is geared by two theories such as Expressive Critical Approach and Literary Analysis as a Scientific Method. Discussion demonstrates that both types of oral tradition embody essential lexico - semantic and literary aspects taken as a pool from which language learners can draw to enhance not only language proficiency but also figures of speech. Both proverbs and riddles reflect the use of foregrounded language. They are effective means to nurture language understanding and its use in human day to day communication.
Cinema, Social Disparity and Urban Infrastructure in Case of the Indonesian Blockbuster Film “Ajari Aku Islam (Teach Me Islam)”
Authors: Hutama Axel , Merdhi Andrianus
Published: March 2023

The feature film Ajari Aku Islam (Teach Me Islam) was directed by Deni Pusung in 2019 and is based on the story of Jaymes Riyanto (Setuningsih, N., 2020) who worked also as one a film producer and scriptwriter. The film was mostly shot in the city center of Medan such as at the Chinese Pecinan Area Kesawan, Masjid Agung Sumatra Utara, and the old settlement of Jalan Sei Sirah. The film shows the love relationship between Kenny Huang, who has Chinese roots, in the Confucianist religion, and Fidya Lubis, a Muslim woman from Batak ethnic group. They both come from the middle economic class and live in the city center of Medan. According to the producer Jaymes Riyanto, the film has the intention to remove the ethnic gap and show the potential co-existence of Muslims and non-Muslims in Medan (Padang Time, 2019). Using Christian Metz's semiotic analysis, the paper will show how the film due to using the stereotypes in its mise en scéne reproduces on the contrary, even more, the prejudices and solidifies the stigmatization and segregation among the two ethnicities. However, this paper also suggests potential measures to overcome the social disparity and ethnic segregation such as through the just urban transportation system, the urban green infrastructure, and the production of local cinema culture which can produce inter-ethnic and religious dialogues among ethnic groups.

The Influence Of Bagasse Fly Ash Particle Size In Controlling Expansive Soils In Combination With Hydrated Lime
Authors: Le Thang , Desa Sachit , Khabbaz Hadi
Published: March 2023

Sugarcane is the second largest export crop in Australia. Industrial production of sugar, from sugarcane, results in bagasse fly ash (BFA), a by-product from the cogeneration in sugar milling operations that generate electricity by steam. The chemical and physical properties of BFA highlight its potential as a promising pozzolan for the stabilization of expansive soils, due primarily to a high content and surface area of the amorphous silicate found in BFA. Silicate in bagasse fly ash reacts extensively with calcium hydrate in lime to produce hydrated products via pozzolanic reactions, this results in a hardening of the material to which BFA and lime have been added. This reaction has been studied to be a function of the size of BFA particles and conditions of the curing process. This study explored the variables that influence the reaction and evaluated shrinkage and compressive strength of the mixtures to which bagasse fly ash, in the form of different particle size distributions, and hydrated lime are added. The maximum BFA particles sizes considered within this study include 75, 150 and 425 μm; curing times of 7 and 28 days are also explored. A suite of testing, including Atterberg limits, linear shrinkage (LS), and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) tests were completed on the prepared mixtures. The findings indicate that bagasse fly ash with a maximum size of 425 μm yields a higher UCS and lower LS, compared to finer BFA particle mixtures. The ash with a maximum particle size of 425-μm also improves the ductility of treated soils and accelerates their strength gain, compared to soil- lime stabilized samples. The results of the study build towards a better understanding of BFA, and the ways in which such a material maybe engineered to replace concrete in road work projects and other applications involving expansive soils.

MACHINE LEARNING BASED ISLANDING DETECTION DURING BLACKOUT
Authors: M. Imran Ghafoor Imranghafoor
Published: March 2023

In modern era, demand of electricity is increasing rapidly due to fast development in industrial sector, communication technologies, commercial and domestic usage. The need of the hour is to protect the power system from blackouts during abnormal conditions, like voltage collapse and frequency disturbance etc between the generation and consumption. The sudden change in weather conditions, loading of power system, and over ageing of transmission and distribution lines becomes the cause of blackouts. Islanding detection and protection is one of the best possible techniques to improve the power quality, reliability, system security, transmission congestion relief and efficient energy utilization. Distribution generators (DGs), if properly placed have many positive impacts on the operation of power system. The islanding can improve the reliability by counting the operation of electrical power to keep the balance between consumption and generation. The main problem is sustained islanding with fast timing. Plant should sustain its island mode condition when fault occurs in transmission lines. Most islanding detection algorithms suffer from large NDZ and Non detection zone must be minimized to protect system properly and avoid blackouts. This study presents a technique to develop a reliable system to prevent complete blackouts, while maintaining the stability of the power system with high variability and uncertainty under the abnormal conditions. It is also needed to present the period all the DGs need to connect and disconnect immediately when the island occurs. For this purpose, each DG must be equipped with islanding detection devices. In this research work the presented system is a two-step process, based on the collection of some of the key characteristics in the current and voltage signals to analyze second harmonic by the Fourier transform (FT).

Ello, por mencionar un único efecto, las permanece colocando en una posición de olvido. Son personas que requieren una atención integral para moderarla mínimamente el daño sufrido, evitándoles la revictimización. Así que es preciso detallar que no son actores de un sistema, sino integrantes de una sociedad que han sido perjudicados en lo irrebatible. Por el contexto anterior, en el presente trabajo se presentan y destacan las puntualizaciones que hace el saber victimológico.

Authors: Keshavarz Maryam , Kaviani Maasumeh , Derakhshanpour Setareh , Akbarzadeh Marzich
Published: March 2023

Aims: The aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between the body image and body mass index (BMI) of pregnant women with newborn growth indicators in selected hospitals of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 420 pregnant women over 17 years old, who were selected by consumptive sampling method, in the hospitals affiliated to Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. The research questionnaire was conducted through the multidimensional questionnaire of a person's attitude towards her body image (MBSRQ). Due to the large number of sample size, Pearson's inferential test was used and P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The mean age of the women was 29.52±6.04 year, mean BMI was 24.66±3.96 kg/m2, and mean score of body image was 249.86±22.27. The body image score was not significantly associated with newborn growth indicators (birthweight p=0.222, length p=0.534, head circumference p=0.537). Also, the women’s BMI was not significantly related to the newborn growth indicators (birthweight p=0.180, length p=0.577, head circumference p=0.720). The BMI was inversely related to satisfaction with different body parts (p<0.001), individual's attitude towards weight (p<0.001) and total score of women's body image (p<0.001). Conclusions: the body image in pregnancy had a significant relationship with the women's BMI. However, more comprehensive prospective studies are recommended to carefully examine the effects of pregnant women's body image on newborns growth (both term and preterm), because studies in this area are very limited.
Povijesna važnost uspostave protuepidemijskih mjera učinkovitih u prevenciji zaraznih bolesti u Hrvatskoj i u svijetu
Authors: Pisarović Anamarija
Published: March 2023

Povijest čovječanstva blisko je povezana s pojavom pandemija koje su pustošile svijet mijenjajući sociekonomska obilježja te utjecala na ishode ratnih sukoba i promjene državnih granica, ozbiljno prijeteći ljudskoj vrsti, budući da su zarazne bolesti bile uvjerljivo vodeći uzrok smrtnosti. Pandemija COVID-19 šokantno se odrazila na razne aspekte ljudskog postojanja, a svijet se našao pred izborom između scenarija koji se aktivno bori protiv virusa uvođenjem snažnih protuepidemijskih mjera, brojeći mrtve u tisućama i scenarija koji uslijed blagih mjera pušta virusu da se širi populacijom brojeći mrtve u milijunima. Dubrovnik je prvi grad u Europi koji je 1377. g. uveo preventivnu mjeru protiv širenja bolesti izoliranjem ljudi, životinja i dobara koji su tamo stizali iz sumnjivih zaraženih zemalja, što predstavlja prijelomni događaj u povijesti europske medicine, socijalne politike i pomorske trgovine. Revolucionarno otkriće cjepiva zauvijek je promijenilo tijek prirodne selekcije i omogućilo sadašnju razinu zdravlja i duljinu ljudskoga vijeka, pa se zasluženo smatra civilizacijskim postignućem, budući da je tom javnozdravstvenom mjerom spašeno više života nego nekom drugom intervencijom. Svjetska zdravstvena organizacija (WHO) je, uz potporu zemalja i partnera, podržala novu globalnu viziju i strategiju pod nazivom Agenda imunizacije 2030, kako bi se suočila s izazovima tijekom sljedećeg desetljeća u spašavanju više od 50 milijuna života, omogućivši cjepivo svima i svugdje.
Congenital diaphragmatic (Bochdalek) hernia of the fetus
Authors: Bartoš Vladimir , Kačerikova Olga
Published: March 2023

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a developmental malformation characterized by a defect in the diaphragm that allows abdominal viscera to move into the chest cavity. A routine ultrasound screening performed during pregnancy detects over half of all cases. This paper describes two women who were prenatally diagnosed to have a fetus with isolated posterolateral CDH. Both mothers underwent medical abortion. In the first case, a postmortem examination of the fetus revealed a large right-sided CDH, in which a part of the liver and small intestine were propagated into the chest. In the second one, a huge left-sided CDH was identified, in which the entire stomach, a large proportion of the small intestine and part of the left lobe of the liver were pushed up into the thoracic cavity. CDH is a diagnostically challenging birth defect with a marked variation in severity and corresponding survival. In utero-diagnosed cases usually represent more severe and prognostically unfavorable conditions than those that were postnatally diagnosed. Early prenatal detection of CDH may help improve the clinical outcome as the mother can be referred to a specialist center before the onset of labor for optimal perinatal management. A legal medical abortion should be the last option after all the others have been exhausted.
Inverted supernumerary nasal tooth
Authors: Ferenc Thomas , Zovak Goran , Vidjak Vinko
Published: March 2023

The eruption of a tooth into the nasal cavity is a rare and incidental finding during routine clinical or radiological examination. Since the 1960s there were more than 60 reported cases of nasal teeth. To the best of our knowledge, this is only the sixth case report of a supernumerary intranasal canine in the selected period. A 22-year-old male presented with a history of recurrent rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, tension headaches, and insomnia but without previous epistaxis or facial trauma episodes, and with no history of congenital craniofacial malformations. Following a computed tomography examination, a diagnosis of a supernumerary inverted ectopic canine eruption into the left nasal cavity was established. To identify such rarities and prevent possible complications, it is essential to acquire detailed patient history, be familiar with both normal and variant maxillofacial structures, and conduct systematic radiological image analysis

Postaviti dijagnozu zloćudne bolesti tijekom prvog pregleda bolesnika u hitnoj ambulanti nije jednostavno. Ako tijekom obrade proširenosti bolesti posumnjamo na inoperabilnost karcinoma, metastaziranje ili drugu zloćudnu novotvorinu, zadatak postaje još teži. Nedostatak protokola za aktivno liječenje bolesnika s dva sinkrona karcinoma udaljenih regija predstavlja veliki problem kod rijetkih bolesnika. Bolesnica u dobi od 64 godine javila se u hitnu ambulantu zbog promuklosti i razvoja obostrane otekline na vratu. Postavili smo dijagnozu karcinoma epiglotisa s obostranim metastazama u vratu. U sklopu obrade bolesnice uočili smo neočekivanu hipovaskularnu leziju jetrenog parenhima te smo dijagnosticirali kolangiokarcinom jetre. S obzirom na dva sinkrona karcinoma, bolesnicu smo uputili multidisciplinarnom onkološkom timu koji je indicirao konkomitantnu kemoradioterapiju, a liječenje je još uvijek u tijeku. Dva sinkrona karcinoma udaljenih regija izrazito su rijetka. Pretraživanjem baza podataka Pubmed i Google Scholar opisan je još samo jedan slučaj istovremenog karcinoma grkljana i kolangiokarcinoma u kojem nije provedeno aktivno liječenje, već samo palijativna skrb. Slučaj naše bolesnice pokazuje kako postoje terapijske opcije koje mogu produljiti život i poboljšati kvalitetu života takvih bolesnika.

Der nationale Rechtsanwendungsbefehl für das Unionsrecht – eine dogmatisch verfehlte Konstruktion mit praktisch verfehlten Konsequenzen
Authors: Classen Claus Dieter
Published: March 2023

Das BVerfG erkennt den Anspruch des EuGH auf das letzte Wort in Fragen des Unionsrechts nur in Grenzen an und behält sich bestimmte Reservekompetenzen vor (insbesondere die Identitäts- und die Ultra-vires-Kontrolle). Das PSPP-Urteil hat gezeigt, dass dieser Anspruch nicht nur theoretischen Charakter aufweist. Nachfolgend wird gezeigt, dass diese Kontrollzugriffe und die ihnen zugrunde liegende Prämisse eines nationalen Rechtsanwendungsbefehls nicht nur verfassungsrechtsdogmatisch nicht überzeugen, nicht zuletzt wegen etlicher mit ihnen verbundener Inkonsistenzen. Zudem führen sie auch in ihren praktischen Konsequenzen zu bisher unzureichend geklärten Folgeproblemen.

In seiner neueren Rechtsprechung beschäftigt sich der EuGH oft mit der Frage der Wiederaufnahme des Verfahrens sowie mit ihrem Verhältnis zu dem unionsrechtlichen Staatshaftungsanspruch. Diese Rechtsprechung wirkt auf den ersten Blick als unübersichtlich, schwer nachvollziehbar und von den Eventualitäten des Einzelfalls so belastet zu sein, dass sie sich von einer Verallgemeinerung entfesselt. Der vorliegende Beitrag hat es vor, zur Systematisierung dieser zwei Ansprüche beizutragen.

Enhancing student communication skills via debating engineering ethics
Authors: Mackay Isobel , Miller Thomas , Benson Gertrude
Published: March 2023

In Engineering, the construction of informed, persuasive and convincing arguments is at the very core of everyday practice. However, in taught postgraduate education there is often an excessive focus on assessment of these skills through written arguments or oral presentations that are usually in the form of long uninterrupted monologues, where the construction of the arguments themselves is almost never challenged. To change this status quo, we have successfully pioneered the use of oral debate as a dynamic and engaging mechanism to develop and assess this skill in our Chemical Engineering MSc students. Debate is an ideal mechanism to assess our students’ ability to construct arguments as it actively encourages them to (1) think about both sides of an argument, (2) consider how they can persuade others and (3) express their viewpoint professionally but with conviction. For this reason, the debates undertaken were linked to important engineering ethical dilemmas, by discussing topics such as “should developing countries prioritise the shift to clean energy over economic growth”. The development of this debate-based training and assessment has had numerous positive outcomes on the students’ learning experience and vital skills development. Importantly students found the debates to be both an interesting and enjoyable method of assessment and noted that the skills learned would be useful in their future careers. In this concept paper we present our experiences in delivering debate assessments to engineering students along with recommendations for practitioners wishing to implement similar styles of performative assessments in their own pedagogy.
Cooling techniques for PV panels: A review
Authors: Kozak-Jagieła Ewa , Cisek Piotr , Ocłoń Paweł
Published: March 2023

Solar energy is considered one of the most dominant renewable energy sources. It can be used to produce electricity through PV panels. Unfortunatly, this technology is subject to limitations. High operating temperature exceeding 25°C, causes the PV panels to overheat, reducing their lifetime and efficiency. Various approaches to PV cooling are used to overcome these challenges.This paper presents a comprehensive overview of different cooling techniques to increase the performance of PV panels. Passive and active PV cooling systems are analysed using air, water, phase change materials (PCMs) and nanofluids as working agents. A review analysis showed that water cooling is better than air cooling. PCMs, which have recently been gaining in popularity, also deserve attention.

The analysis of previous studies in the field of non-destructive testing and technical diagnostics of components and aggregates of railway rolling stock is carried out. Methods such as vibration, acoustic and thermal control are considered. The possibility of machine learning of a system for detecting the state of high-speed rail transport based on clustering of implementations of fault signs that can be detected by various means of detection and diagnosis is considered. It is shown that the use of methods of non-destructive testing and diagnostics separately from each other is not always advisable. The prospects of solutions for a comprehensive assessment of the results of detection of high-speed railway rolling stock units and aggregates based on the use of models with fuzzy clustering algorithms for hundreds of signs of malfunctions of high-speed railway transport systems in such automated detection complexes are substantiated.

Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) offer numerous societal benefits; however, there is still a long way to go before CAVs can be considered reliable and safe. Even when CAV technology has matured, and is more readily available, there will be scenarios that require human intervention such as system failures, situations outside of the AV’s Operational Design Domain (ODD), or to support users. As part of project Endeavour, TRL conducted research on potential human intervention scenarios, which has been considered and referred to as a part of ‘remote operation’. This study sought to understand the current roles of the in-vehicle Safety Driver and Test Assistant during CAV trials and testing to recognise the technical challenges of removing the roles and enabling remote operation. This report includes findings from a literature review and stakeholder engagement and contains: Information on the roles and responsibilities of the in-vehicle Safety Driver and Test Assistant and their remote counterparts Current terminology used in the CAV space, and recommended terms for remote operation Use cases and recommendations to enable safe remote operation A high-level roadmap describing the milestones to enable remote operation in the UK
HelmUK - HGV platooning trials: final report
Authors:   TRL
Published: March 2023

HelmUK was the UK’s first real-world trial of HGV platooning which ran between 2017 and 2022. The concept of platooning is to use advanced driver assistance systems to enable HGVs to safely travel close together to save fuel via a slipstreaming effect. This concept has never been tested in a real-world environment in the UK. HelmUK ran for 5 years and through exhaustive analysis of real-world trials found that platooning saved small amounts of fuel over Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) in the real-world. Further analysis found that in a road network optimised for platooning, fuel savings could increase to between 2.5% and 4.1%. HelmUK also found that platooning was as safe as ACC operation, if risks with merging vehicles at junctions are managed. This report describes the purpose, approach, design, and results of the HelmUK trials covering road safety, fuel savings, effects on the road network, and economic benefits. The HelmUK final report also discusses the future of platooning for National Highways, the UK government, and the freight industry. Finally, the report makes a series of recommendations for platooning development and deployment. These include consideration of regulation of low headways at junctions and a strong recommendation to deploy the underlying systems enabling platooning at more typical larger headways where they offer safety benefits with no increase in risk.

The experimental method is the right way to learn biology. Osmosis is an important biological concept that can be used to understand other biology concepts and requires experimental activities so students can understand it better. The implementation of experimental activities will be guided by Student Worksheets (LKPD-Ex). The purpose of this study was to develop LKPD-Ex on osmosis experiments with chicken egg media for class XI students. This research is a development-research (RnD) using a four-D model, namely the definition phase, design phase, development phase, and deployment phase. However, it was changed to 3D because the media was developed only to test the feasibility of the E-LKPD media. Good validation results from experts score 89.08% of the assessment of material experts and media experts, and 92.63% of student responses with very decent criteria. From these data it can be concluded that the development of Experimental Student Worksheets (LKPD-Ex) on the Osmosis Experiment is very feasible to be used as an alternative in the learning process so that it can be tested in supporting the maximum learning process.
Clinical Significance of Anti–U1 Ribonucleoprotein Antibody Is Analyte Dependent: Implications for Laboratory Reporting, Interpretation, and Interassay Correlations
Authors: Tebo Anne E. , Peterson Lisa K. , Snyder Melissa R. , Lebiedz-Odrobina Dorota
Published: March 2023

Context.—

Antibodies to U1 ribonucleoprotein (U1RNP) were first described more than 50 years ago, and although clinically relevant for antinuclear antibody–associated connective tissue disease (ANA-CTD), test results are challenging to interpret.

Objective.—

To evaluate the impact of anti-U1RNP analyte diversity in the assessment of patients at risk for ANA-CTD.

Design.—

Two multiplex assays for U1RNP (Smith [Sm]/RNP and RNP68/A) were used to test serum specimens from consecutive patients (n = 498) under evaluation for CTD in a single academic center. Discrepant specimens were further tested for Sm/RNP antibody by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and the BioPlex multiplex assay. Data were evaluated for antibody positivity per analyte and their method of detection, correlations between analytes, and impact on clinical diagnoses through retrospective chart review.

Results.—

Of the 498 patients tested, 47 (9.4%) were positive in the RNP68/A (BioPlex) and 15 (3.0%) were positive in the Sm/RNP (Theradiag) immunoassays. U1RNP-CTD, other ANA-CTD, and no ANA-CTD were diagnosed in 34% (16 of 47), 12.8% (6 of 47), and 53.2% (25 of 47) of the cases, respectively. The prevalence of antibody by method in patients with U1RNP-CTD was 100.0% (16 of 16), 85.7% (12 of 14), 81.5% (13 of 16), and 87.5% (14 of 16) for RNP68/A, Sm/RNP BioPlex, Sm/RNP Theradiag, and Sm/RNP Inova, respectively. For other ANA-CTD and no ANA-CTD, the highest prevalence was observed with RNP68/A; all others had comparable performance.

Conclusions.—

In this study, the overall performance characteristics of Sm/RNP antibody assays were comparable; however, the RNP68/A immunoassay was very sensitive but less specific. In the absence of harmonization, reporting the type of U1RNP analyte in clinical testing may be useful in guiding interpretation and interassay correlations.

Published: March 2023

Background: Family planning (FP) is key to preventing the social, economic and health consequences resulting from unintended pregnancies. Failure to control family size and child spacing has pressing negative effects on the health of women, their children, the community and the nation at large. Despite various family planning interventions such as Uganda Family Planning Costed Implementation Plan (UFPCIP) and Postpartum Family Planning Action Plan (PFAP), the unmet FP need still stagnates as high as 28%. Therefore, this study determined the prevalence and assessed the factors associated with modern family planning uptake among postpartum women attending Postnatal Care (PNC) in Busolwe Hospital, Butaleja district, Uganda. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 361 postpartum mothers attending PNC. Quantitative approach was applied and data collected using pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire. Participants recruited by consecutive sampling. Ethical considerations and approval was sought from Lira University institutional research board (IRB) and data was analyzed using SPSS version 23. Results: A total of 361 participants were recruited for the study. Majority of the participants 167(46.3%) aged between 17-24 years with mean age 26.01 (SD±5.877). Over all 122(34%) was the prevalence of modern FP uptake. Factors independently associated with modern family planning at multivariate analysis were; Education level (P=0.007, OR 0.048, 95% CI 0.005-0.435); occupation (P= 0.039, OR 0.432, 95% CI 0.195-0.958), Income (P=0.000, OR 0.209, 95% CI 0.088-0.494), Side effects (P=0.014, OR 3.062, 95% CI 1.249-7.508), and Perception about many children (P=0.000, OR 0.128, 95% CI 0.049-0.339). Conclusion: The prevalence of modern family planning was low in Butaleja district. This was due to inadequate education among women, unemployment, low-income status, desire for many children and the side effects associated with family planning use.
Heavy Water: A School of Romanian Scientific and Technological Research, a Paradigm in Kuhn's Sense
Authors:   Multimedia SRL, Sfetcu Nicolae
Published: March 2023

From the position of a simple employee of the Drobeta Turnu Severin Heavy Water Plant, as a quality assurance inspector, the head of the destructive and non-destructive control laboratories, and finally the head of the quality assurance service, I had the honor to participate, between 1983 and 1993, in the largest technical-scientific project in Romania at that time, which involved universities, countless research institutes, design institutes, factories and construction-assembly companies, which, forced to use exclusively Romanian materials and solutions, had to research, innovate and implement, on a daily basis, unique technologies for Romania, and specific solutions for their improvement. In this paper I highlight the close collaboration between all these entities, which allowed the development of an important component of the Romanian nuclear program, and laid the foundations of scientific and technological knowledge for the entire further evolution of activities in the nuclear field, and not only. Although there are many books and articles on the history of heavy water in Romania, in this paper I approach this subject from a new point of view, emphasizing the close collaboration between universities, scientific and technological research institutes, design institutes, production factories of machinery and equipment, construction-assembly enterprises, and heavy water plant specialists, thus creating an informal community, even a school within which an unprecedented scientific and technological discipline was developed, and a special emulation for research and innovation . For this purpose, I also analyzed documents that have not been used in such studies until now. And all these aspects are discussed through the lens of a direct and active participant in the construction, putting into operation, and operation of the heavy water plant. In the case of heavy water produced in Romania, I will demonstrate in this paper that it corresponds to a paradigm in the sense of Thomas Kuhn from The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, having the specific characteristics and passing through all the phases specified by him in the case of a paradigm.
