Published: April 2022

Introdução: A Injúria Renal Aguda (IRA) é uma síndrome bastante recorrente na clínica de cães e gatos, sendo definida como uma perda de função renal que ocorre subitamente e que pode ter uma duração indeterminada. Cães e gatos que desenvolvem a injúria renal aguda tem como consequência distúrbio hidroeletrolítico, ácido base, uremia e hipertensão. Essas alterações se dão devido à perda de função renal que é responsável por manter a homeostasia hidroeletrolítrica do animal e excretar substâncias nocivas ao organismo. O diagnóstico da IRA se fundamenta no exame físico do paciente, sendo bastante comuns os sinais clínicos como prostração, desidratação, icterícia, dor abdominal à palpação, hipotermia e com halitose urêmica; já os exames laboratoriais como hemograma, função renal, urinálise e ultrassonografia abdominal são importantes para fechar o diagnóstico. O tratamento da IRA se concentra em combater a causa da lesão renal e no suporte para atenuar as consequências da uremia. Objetivo: Uma vez que o prognóstico da IRA está extremamente relacionado ao diagnóstico precoce, o grau de lesão renal e a intervenção terapêutica apropriada, este resumo tem como objetivo auxiliar os profissionais para reconhecer a lesão renal aguda no paciente em tempo hábil para realizar intervenções, procurando reduzir a taxa de mortalidade e melhorar o prognóstico do paciente. Cada vez mais os estudos indicam para um ruim prognóstico da IRA, sendo que geralmente os pacientes que conseguem recuperar a função renal necessitam de um tratamento longo e de altos custos financeiros. A alta mortaliade envolve distúrbios secundários à IRA e à uremia, evidenciando a urgência de um diagnóstico precoce e de manejos adequeados. Observamos ser de grande importância a elaboração de mais pesquisas com o objetivo de aprimorar o manejo do paciente com injúria renal aguda. Métodos: Revisão bibliográfica sistemática, com base em artigos científicos, com a finalidade de discorrer sobre o tema. Resultados: Os estudos apontam que a injúria renal aguda é uma doença bastante presente na rotina clínica de pequenos animais, uma vez que pode ser causada por diversos fatores como uso de fármacos nefrotóxicos, endotoxinas bacterianas, sepse, metais pesados, hipovolemia, agentes infecciosos, entre outros fatores. Os estudos evidenciam também que as principais complicações relacionados a IRA são alterações metabólicas, aumento de pressão arterial, anúria, oligúria, acidose metabólica, entre outras complicações. Conclusão: Com base neste resumo, conclui-se que é de suma importância o reconhecimento da doença renal aguda como uma doença que deve ser diagnosticada de forma rápida e precisa com a finalidade de prolongar e melhorar a qualidade de vida do paciente acometido.

Pandemic and State Debt Settlement Scenarios
Authors: Rudiatin Endang , Hadiwardoyo Wibowo
Published: April 2022

Many countries have been forced to increase their debt to face the Covid-19 pandemic with the assumption that it will be settled once the economy returns to normal. But the pandemic is still ongoing even though it has passed a year and a half. The emergence of new variants of the Coronavirus has forced the re-imposition of even stricter restrictions. The direct result is a budget deficit, as state revenues fall, while spending rises. The longer the restrictions last, the larger the deficit will be, so it is still very possible for additional new debt to occur. With the increasing number of debts, scenarios are needed to solve them, including the worst option. This study presents various possibilities that a country can do to pay off debts that are difficult to repay, based on the experiences of several countries that have experienced it in the past. It is also a possible new breakthrough alternative, despite facing complex domestic political challenges. The alternative is based on phenomenological research in virtual communities through the internet on the phenomenon of pandemics and state debt. The results show common actions by the State in overcoming the economic crisis, namely, increasing tax rates, reducing salaries and facilities for employees/officials, selling (shares) of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN). Then unpopular alternative offers such as leasing certain islands/areas to foreign parties, and other breakthroughs.

Authors: Almaimani Riyad
Published: April 2022

Beta-2 microglobulin (B2M) protein has been shown to be elevated in response to oxidative stress and metabolic disorders and it modulates human immune and inflammatory responses. However, little is known about the association between B2M and glycaemic index in diabetic patients. Hence, this case-control study was conducted to measure the effects of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on the plasma concentrations of B2M. A total of 50 T2DM male patients alongside another 50 age-matched and healthy men were enrolled. The plasma concentrations of B2M and haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) were measured. Data related to smoking, daily consumption of multivitamins and regular performance of exercise were obtained through a questionnaire. The participants body mass index (BMI) was calculated after the body weight (Kg) and height (cm) of each participant was recorded. The results showed comparable age, BMI and rate of active smoking between the study groups. However, the levels of HbA1c were significantly higher, whereas the frequencies of consuming multivitamins and regularly performing exercise were significantly lower, in the T2DM group when compared with healthy controls. The plasma B2M levels also showed moderate significant positive correlations with age, BMI, and HbA1c plasma levels. In conclusion, the plasma Concentration of the oxidative stress marker B2M, was associated with T2DM and a significant elevation in its levels was positively correlated with age and the levels of HbA1c.

Published: April 2022

On-premise Servers can be classified as a crucial backbone of a company. Sensitive data like Financial Records, User Information are stored on on-premise servers. This makes it necessary to be kept in a separate room with supervision and security checks, making it difficult to monitor the server periodically. This paper researches on-premise servers which lack remote monitoring and introduces a user-friendly solution. By making monitoring data available remotely via a Telegram bot, monitoring the servers becomes easy on-site or off-site and only requires the administrators to physically inspect the server for initial configuration, periodic checks, and any physical repairs. Monitoring software like Prometheus can be used to collect server metrics at set intervals. Telegram provides an API to create and control bots that can send messages to its user. By storing the metrics collected by Prometheus in a cloud database, the Telegram Bot can be requested to fetch these data which can be viewed by the server administrator remotely. Key Words: Server Monitoring, Telegram Bot, Python Service, Prometheus.

Applying the Multicontext Approach to Promote Work Participation of People with Disabilities - A Single Case Series
Authors: Hasdai Aya
Published: April 2022

Occupational therapists promote engagement and participation in life occupations and performance patterns for people who have various health conditions. Work participation can be influenced by health constraints that hinder adequate performance of job requirements to the point of preventing participation in the field of work overall. The purpose of this manuscript is to show how the use of assessment tools and the metacognitive treatment protocol, both based on the Multicontext Approach, aid in promoting and maintaining work participation. Using two case studies of young adults, who were diagnosed with neurodevelopmental disabilities and impaired executive functions, we will observe changes in occupational performance. Method: Data from a battery of assessments and occupational profiles were taken before and after 10 months of occupational therapy intervention provided according to Toglia's multi-contextual approach. Features from the occupational profile to determine specific occupations and contexts that needed to be addressed were identified. An analysis of occupational performance was done to identify the clients past and present challenges in work performance. The intervention process focused on increasing self-awareness of cognitive performance skills or identifying error patterns that hindered successful performance, emphasizing the enhancement of an adaptive vocational identity. By analyzing various situations from everyday life, the clients learned to identify resources and barriers in the environment, attempted learning coping strategies, and practiced self-monitoring and regulation tools. Implementing the acquired self-strategies within functional cognitive tasks allowed them to remain motivated and reduce self-stigma in terms of not being able to return to work and integrate into the mainstream workforce. Progress: Measured through setting and achieving goals in finding employment and performing job tasks. Results: A detailed description of change in occupational performance based on work integration, status awareness, and the use of compensatory strategies were noted concomitantly with improvement in performance as measured by the various assessment tools. Summary: One may favorably consider writing guidelines for using Meta-cognitive evaluation and intervention tools as an essential component of any occupational rehabilitation assessment and intervention program for working age people who are facing cognitive impairments due congenital and acquired, chronic and variable health conditions.
Special Parenting Workshop - Workplace Intervention
Authors: Perry Efrat
Published: April 2022

Parenting children with special needs is accompanied by unique challenges that influence parents’ mental health and well-being. A significant hurdle of parenting children with special needs is in the field of work and career advancement. Parents who keep their jobs report high levels of stress in the workplace. Evidence on workplace interventions based on Peer Support Program models shows that these groups can provide support, foster a sense of belonging, increase identification with the peer group, and create a strong parent community. These are the goals of the program called #ComeAsYouAre Workshop. Sixteen Microsoft Israel employees who are parents of children with special needs participated in the program. The program included nine hybrid group sessions. Each session dealt with a different topic concerning life's ups and downs and working as a special parent, the creatation of support systems, receiving the diagnosis, and how to deal with siblings of children with special needs. The group met once a week for ninety minutes, during working hours, with the knowledge and support of each participant’s personal manager. Results show that participants shared that the #ComeAsYouAre Program contributed positively to their workplace participation and in other areas of life. The program can be used as a model for other organizations that aspire to introduce diversity and inclusion content into their workplace, creating an impact and supporting employees who are parents of children with special needs.

Published: April 2022

The paper [11] raised the question of describing the cardinality and types of approximations for natural families of theories. In the present paper, a partial answer to this question is given, and the study of approximation and topological properties of natural classes of theories is also continued. We consider a cycle graph consisting of one cycle or, in other words, a certain number of vertices (at least 3 if the graph is simple) connected into a closed chain. It is shown that an infinite cycle graph is approximated by finite cycle graphs. Approximations of regular graphs by finite regular graphs are considered. On the other hand, approximations of acyclic regular graphs by finite regular graphs are considered. It is proved that any infinite regular graph is pseudofinite. And also, for any k, any k-regular graph is homogeneous and pseudofinite.Examples of pseudofinite 3-regular and 4-regular graphs are given.

Published: April 2022

Common bacterial blight of cowpea is caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli (Xap) which can devastate both the seedlings and adult plants, thereby yield reduction. The experiment was carried out by evaluating the antibacterial potential of two aqueous pepper fruit extracts; Capsicum chinense cv. Bonnet and Capsicum annuum cv. Red bell. The extracts were prepared at 25, 50 and 75% w/v concentrations. Sterile distilled water (SDW) was used a negative control while streptomycin sulfate (0.2% w/v) served as positive control. Bactericidal evaluation of the extracts was carried out using agar well diffusion method, laid out in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three replications. Pathogenicity, morphological and biochemical tests of the isolates confirmed the characteristics of the bacterium. The results revealed that the two extracts had inhibitory effects on the two isolates of the bacterium tested. At 75% concentration for both extracts and 72 hrs after incubation, Bonnet pepper extract recorded inhibition zones of 23.50 mm and 15.27 mm while Red bell pepper extract had 23.23 mm and 12.60 mm on Xap1 and Xap2 isolates, respectively. These values were significantly higher than inhibition zones (11.20 mm and 8.17 mm) recorded for Bonnet pepper extract and inhibition zones (11.20 mm and 9.53 mm) recorded for Red bell pepper extract at 50% concentration. It could be concluded that, the two Capsicum fruit extracts have promising potential in the management of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli (Xap) at 75% concentration which could serve as alternative to synthetic chemicals for poor resource farmers.
Removal of Indigo Blue Dye from Aqueous Medium (or Industrial Effluent) using Chemically Treated Empty Palm Fruit Bunch Wastes
Authors:   Department of Chemistry, Federal University Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria
Published: April 2022

Different treatment methods have been adopted for the removal of dyes from wastewaters in order to prevent or reduce their hazardous effects on living organisms and on the environment. This work was carried out on the empty palm fruit bunch fibers to investigate the effects of various chemical treatments on its ability to remove indigo blue dye from aqueous solutions. The untreated empty palm fruit bunches (UEFB) were subjected to three different chemical treatments (acetylation, mercerization and bleaching) geared towards improving specific properties such as surface morphology and thereafter, characterized by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The values of the maximum dye uptake (UEFB: 39.37 mg/mL; acetylation (AEFB): 84.75 mg/mL; bleaching (BEFB): 135.14 and mercerization (MEFB): 117.65 mg/mL) showed that all the treated fibers were able to considerably improve the sorptive ability of the adsorbent. The data obtained were well fitted to the Freundlich Isotherm while the Langmuir Isotherm could be applicable to UEFB. Chemical treatments of the fiber resulted in a reduction in change in enthalpy of the adsorption system and the modified fibers performed better than the unmodified fiber with BEFB which has the highest uptake of indigo blue dye and AEFB had the least uptake. The improved uptake is as a result of the chemical treatment that the adsorbents have undergone and this makes the bleached adsorbent with highest adsorptive ability suitable for treating indigo blue laden wastewater. The results obtained showed that chemical modification, such as mercerization and bleaching of adsorbents is a good means of improving the surface morphology and the uptake ability of the empty fruit bunch.

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) practices in Turkey focus on sectors with high accident frequency and certain occupational diseases. According to the 2012 year data of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, which divides the workplaces into 88 activity groups, it has determined the furniture sector as 18th in terms of the number of workplaces, 26th in terms of the number of employees, 19th in terms of occupational accidents and 25th in terms of occupational diseases, shows the necessity of investigating the working conditions of the furniture industry in Turkey in detail. In this study; in order to define the occupational hazards on employee health arising from the furniture production processes, of a chosen facility producing wooden furniture in Tekirdag were examined for 4 months. The data obtained as a result of defining and measuring the main workplace hazards and periodic health surveillance data, including the health reports of the employees, were evaluated together with the help of the Occupational Physician of the facility and the impact of the main workplace impacts of the investigated production process on employee health was defined. As a result of the study; it has been understood that the change in workplace air quality may have significant effects on employee health. It has been clearly seen that among these effects, especially the noise factor, is a main factor that occurs frequently on the furniture industry workers and causes different levels of influence. In addition, although workplace dust factor, which can occur at different intensities in different steps of the production processes due to the raw material, remains at a low level with preventive measures such as the use of dust collection systems in the facility, the dermatitis-type effects caused by these dusts on the skin can be visibly noticed, however, it was understood that adequate controls and necessary health screenings for diagnosis could not be made within the facility. On the other hand, no serious health problems have been identified due to exposure to chemicals used in the facility. In the future, detailed scientific studies on the reduction and elimination of noise and dust factors , which are determined to be the most important workplace environment effects in this enterprise , and the definition of good practices will also guide the facilities that produce similar products.
The Visualization of Solutions to Electromagnetic Field Problems by Using Matlab
Authors: ALİSOY Hafiz , AKDENİZ Rafet , ÖZBEY Necati
Published: April 2022

In this study, we use the superposition principle to find a particular solution to Poisson and Laplace equations. It is assumed that the field in a homogeneous dielectric is excited by space charges under a specific density distribution. Under these assumptions, the results of visualization to electrostatic field solutions are reported for two cases: i) calculation of the electrostatic field between two shielded cables and ii) calculation of the electrostatic field between the dielectric corner and a parallel long charged conductor. In this study, we aim to initiate a discussion of the use of computer analysis and modeling as an educational tool for engineering students.
Two Capacitor Problem with a LTI Capacitor and a Capacitor Modelled Using Conformal Fractional Order Derivative
Authors: PALAZ Utku , MUTLU Reşat
Published: April 2022

Fractional order circuit elements have been started to model different types of circuit elements, circuits and systems in the last decades. There are different types of fractional derivatives. Recently, a new simple fractional derivative method called“conformable fractional derivative” has been brought out. It is simpler than other fractional derivatives and has already been used tomodel supercapacitors. It is important to model the new circuit elements and analyze the circuits containing them so that they can be exploited at their full potential. Two capacitor problem is a famous problem in physics and circuit theory. In this study, a new two capacitor problem a circuit which consists of an LTI capacitor and a supercapacitor which has been modelled with conformable fractional derivative have been examined. The differential equations which describe the circuit have been derived. The circuit current is found explicitly however the voltages of the capacitors do not have analytical solutions. That’s why they are solved numerically.

The Ultimate Measure of Success for Speculative Design is to Disappear Completely
Authors: Lindley Joseph , Green David Philip
Published: April 2022

In this paper, we discuss how the increasing prevalence of Speculative Design in educational, research and commercial contexts may reflect and nurture a challenge to the dominance of ‘scientism’. The successes associated with 20th-century modernism are now, in the 21st-century, key factors in the intractability and complexity of 21st-century challenges. Speculative and Design-led approaches offer practical means to break down such intractability but do so over relatively short timeframes. We argue that, if we adopt a longer-term perspective, then disrupting the dominance of scientism so that the benefits of Speculative Design are ‘built in’ rather than ‘added on’ is realistic and desirable. In exploring this proposition, we come to reason that the ultimate measure of Speculative Design’s success is to disappear completely.
Transistórias: how a critical and speculative perspective contributes to rethink sustainability education in product design
Authors: Veiga Inês
Published: April 2022

This essay is a reflective and exploratory account of an experience-based learning exercise in 2017/2018 within the course unit of 'Sustainability of products and services' in the Master in Product Design course at the Lisbon School of Architecture, University of Lisbon (FA.ULisboa).For a semester, design students and a local community explored alternative futures together. However, questions emerged on the pertinence of the educational approach whenthe design students argued they were not learning about sustainability. Arguing were indeed learning sustainability, the reflection is mainly grounded on the events and how I’ve experienced them, as an educator. Beyond the failures to guide such a complex process, it captures some of the limitations and potentials of the experience through the lenses of Critical and Speculative Design (CSD). By adopting the perspectives of rehearsing futures, foresight and (im)possible things, this essay is a speculative exploration of ways to approach sustainability learning in the product design classroom.
Teaching alternative Paradigms through Critical Design
Authors: Kuijer Lenneke , Robbins Holly
Published: April 2022

This paper introduces and reflects on a master elective course for Interaction Design students titled Researching the Future Everyday. Aiming to equip students with the skills to critically adapt their own practices to the changing societal roles of design, the course guides students through a critical design approach with three key elements: a Science and Technology Studies paper that provides an alternative paradigm for assumed relations between design and societal issues, a Critical Design approach that makes the paradigm relatable for designers, and the use of Research Products to stimulate generalization of design implications beyond the exemplar. By analyzing ten student projects, we identify two patterns of using critical design to extend and enrich alternative paradigms. One uses oppositional designs to develop alternative design approaches. The other uses accelerational designs to extend alternative problem spaces. These patterns and their variations reveal avenues to further support students in developing critical practices.
