The effect of the refractory material on the phase transformation parameteres during forming of the Al-8wt%Si-3wt%Cu structure
Authors: Mitrašinović Aleksandar , Nešković Jasmina , Labus Nebojša , Radosavljević Milinko
Published: March 2023

Solidification of the aluminum alloys takes place in heat-resistant refractory materials made of either metal or oxides that are stable at high temperatures. The significantly different thermal conductivities between metals and heat-resistant oxides cause solidification with significantly different cooling rates. In this work, we formed a secondary Al-8wt%Si-3wt%Cu alloy in a stainless steel mould, a thin-walled stainless steel cup, and a thick-walled zirconium oxide cup. The course of the formation of the solidified structure was monitored by immersed thermocouples, which enabled the computer analysis of the cooling curves. The parameters on which the cooling rate had the most significant influence are the undercooling values of the formation of primary aluminum crystals, the time of the growth of primary aluminum crystals and the total solidification time from the formation of the first solid crystals to the formation of a fully solidified structure. The Al-8wt%Si-3wt%Cu aluminum alloy formed in metal mould has a smaller grain size and consequently higher tensile strength, lower macro-porosity and less rough surface than the alloy formed in refractory oxide coatings. The examined heat-resistant refractory material influenced the formation of three basic micro-constituents in the Al-8wt%Si-3wt%Cu alloy in different time intervals, which led to the formation of a different microstructure, where the decision on the choice of material for the heat-resistant refractory material depends on the profitability of the entire process, the required quality of the external surfaces and required minimum strength of the final product.

Published: March 2023

Nos últimos anos o setor industrial demonstrou redução na participação da economia, a partir daí o agronegócio despontou como imprescindível para a balança comercial, assim como a indústria ligada à produção agropecuária. Analisando a notoriedade do agronegócio brasileiro, em seus diversos setores, acompanhado da expansão de uma modalidade de exploração da terra que é o arrendamento rural, processo que, além, de promover a função social do acesso à terra, facilita os investimentos produtivos pelo pressuposto de não exigir imobilização de capital através da compra de imóveis, abrindo oportunidades para que os produtores ou empresas consigam acessar e trabalhar em áreas de terras mais extensas. Este artigo tem por objetivo avaliar os efeitos da incorporação da Terra Santa sobre os indicadores econômicos e financeiros da SLC Agrícola. Especificamente sob o desempenho refletido em números reportados publicamente pela entidade no triênio 2019, 2020 e 2021. Os estudos revelaram que alguns índices apresentados nas demonstrações se mostraram negativos ou reduzidos, resultado de um negócio bastante arriscado, o fato é que imobilizar demais eleva o risco. Houve aumento no direito de uso do ativo, enquanto o caixa sofreu depreciação. As análises demonstram que apesar da SLC ter apresentado alguns índices negativos ou diminuídos, sua estrutura financeira ainda é muito boa representando enorme potencial de recuperação.
Unusual anomaly of the radial artery encountered during the elevation of a radial forearm free flap: a case report
Authors: Yoon Jin Myung , Park Tae Jun , Ki Sae Hwi , Hong Min Ki
Published: March 2023

The radial forearm free flap (RFFF) has become popular for head and neck reconstructions. Owing to a constant anatomy the RFFF is relatively easy to dissect. Nevertheless, anatomical variations of the radial artery have been reported. Some variations could affect the survival of the flap. This paper reports an unusual anomaly of the radial artery where the radial artery was not located between the brachioradialis (BR) and flexor carpi radialis. The radial artery was observed above the BR and on the radial side of the BR. The survival of the elevated flap was deemed questionable because it had only few perforators. So we decided to discard the flap and to elevate another free flap for the head and neck defect. The donor area on the forearm was covered using the original skin of the first flap as a full-thickness skin graft. This case highlights a means to deal with anomalies of the radial artery encountered during the elevation of RFFF and the checking process for variations of the radial artery before RFFF.
Seroma prevention with topical Abnobaviscum sclerotherapy following excision of giant cervical lipoma
Authors: Choi Jun Ho , Choi Seung Yeon , Hwang Jae Ha , Kim Kwang Seog , Lee Sam Yong
Published: March 2023

Background: Lipomas are common benign tumors of mesenchymal origin that are composed of mature adipocytes. Giant lipomas have a diameter ≥ 10 cm in one or more dimensions or weigh at least 1,000 g. The surgical excision of a giant lipoma requires extensive dissection, increasing the risk of a seroma, which can cause surgical site complications such as wound infection and necrosis. Sclerotherapy with Abnobaviscum (Viscum album extract) is a relatively new technique used to reduce malignant pleural effusion. In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of prophylactic sclerotherapy using Abnobaviscum to decrease seroma after giant lipoma excision.Methods: We conducted a retrospective medical record review of patients who underwent surgical excision for giant lipoma of the neck from January 2019 to December 2022. Sclerotherapy was performed on the first postoperative day in patients who consented to the procedure, and Abnobaviscum was instilled through the existing Hemovac drain. We compared the clinical course between those who underwent postoperative sclerotherapy and those who did not.Results: Among the 30 patients who underwent giant lipoma excision, we applied sclerotherapy with Abnobaviscum to 15 patients. The average time from surgery to Hemovac removal was statistically shorter in patients who underwent sclerotherapy (p= 0.004). Furthermore, seroma formation was significantly reduced in patients receiving sclerotherapy (p= 0.003).Conclusion: In patients undergoing giant lipoma excision, sclerotherapy using Abnobaviscum helps reduce postoperative seroma formation during the initial postoperative period. It can be an excellent method to reduce complications related to seroma and attenuate patients’ postoperative burden.
Financial Inclusion or Encampment? Rethinking Digital Finance for Refugees
Authors: Dhawan Swati Mehta , Zollmann Julie
Published: March 2023

Humanitarian actors touting financial inclusion posit that access to financial
services builds refugees’ resilience and self-reliance. They claim that
new digital financial tools create more efficient and dignified pathways for
humanitarian assistance and enable refugees to better manage their savings and
invest in livelihoods, especially during protracted displacement. Our in-depth,
repeat interviews with refugees in Kenya and Jordan refute this narrative.
Instead, self-reliance was hindered primarily by refugees’ lack of
foundational rights to move and work. Financial services had limited ability to
support livelihoods in the absence of those rights. The digital financial
services offered to refugees under the banner of ‘financial
inclusion’ were not mainstream services designed to empower and connect.
Instead, they were segregated, second-class offerings meant to further isolate
and limit refugee transactions in line with broader political desires to encamp
and exclude them. The article raises questions about the circumstances in which
humanitarian funding ought to fund financial service interventions and what
those interventions are capable of achieving.

Superior ophthalmic approach in carotid-cavernous fistula: current concepts in indications, surgical techniques, and case reviews
Authors: Park Jungyul
Published: March 2023

Carotid-cavernous fistulas, characterized by abnormal arteriovenous communication within the cavernous sinus (CS), can be classified as direct or indirect. Direct fistulas are defined as a direct connection between the internal carotid artery (ICA) and CS, whereas indirect fistulas result from an abnormal connection between the CS and dural arterial branches. The first-line treatment for both types of fistulas is endovascular intervention, most commonly accomplished through the transarterial and transvenous approaches of the conventional pathway, including the ICA, inferior and superior petrosal sinuses, or basilar plexus. Nonetheless, a retrograde approach through the superior ophthalmic vein may be necessary for individuals in whom conventional endovascular treatment fails. Herein, the current principles of surgical indication and technique are presented, along with case studies.
Just in Time
Authors: Starr G. Gabrielle
Published: March 2023

Literature and neuroscience come together to illuminate the human experience of beauty, which unfolds in time.

How does beauty exist in time? This is Gabrielle Starr's central concern in Just in Time as she explores the experience of beauty not as an abstraction, but as the result of psychological and neurological processes in which time is central. Starr shows that aesthetic experience has temporal scale. Starr, a literary scholar and pioneer in the field and method of neuroaesthetics, which seeks the neurological basis of aesthetic experience, applies this methodology to the study of beauty in literature, considering such authors as Rita Dove, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Henry James, Toni Morrison, and Wallace Stevens, as well as the artists Dawoud Bey and Jasper Johns.

Just in Time is richly informed by the methods and findings of neuroscientists, whose instruments let them investigate encounters with art down to the millisecond, but Starr goes beyond the laboratory to explore engagements with art that unfold over durations experiments cannot accommodate. In neuroaesthetics, Starr shows us, the techniques of the empirical sciences and humanistic interpretation support and complement one another. To understand the temporal quality of aesthetic experience we need both cognitive and phenomenological approaches, and this book moves boldly toward their synthesis.
Distributional Reinforcement Learning
Authors: Bellemare Marc G. , Dabney Will , Rowland Mark
Published: March 2023

The first comprehensive guide to distributional reinforcement learning, providing a new mathematical formalism for thinking about decisions from a probabilistic perspective.

Distributional reinforcement learning is a new mathematical formalism for thinking about decisions. Going beyond the common approach to reinforcement learning and expected values, it focuses on the total reward or return obtained as a consequence of an agent's choices—specifically, how this return behaves from a probabilistic perspective. In this first comprehensive guide to distributional reinforcement learning, Marc G. Bellemare, Will Dabney, and Mark Rowland, who spearheaded development of the field, present its key concepts and review some of its many applications. They demonstrate its power to account for many complex, interesting phenomena that arise from interactions with one's environment.

The authors present core ideas from classical reinforcement learning to contextualize distributional topics and include mathematical proofs pertaining to major results discussed in the text. They guide the reader through a series of algorithmic and mathematical developments that, in turn, characterize, compute, estimate, and make decisions on the basis of the random return. Practitioners in disciplines as diverse as finance (risk management), computational neuroscience, computational psychiatry, psychology, macroeconomics, and robotics are already using distributional reinforcement learning, paving the way for its expanding applications in mathematical finance, engineering, and the life sciences. More than a mathematical approach, distributional reinforcement learning represents a new perspective on how intelligent agents make predictions and decisions.
Global Shifts
Authors: Schleifer Philip
Published: March 2023

What global shifts in markets and power mean for the politics and governance of sustainability.

In recent years, major shifts in global markets from North to South have created a new geography of trade and consumption, particularly in the agricultural sector. How this shift affects the governance of sustainability, and thus the future of the planet, is the pressing topic Philip Schleifer takes up in this book. The processes of twenty-first-century globalization are fundamentally changing the politics and governance of commodity production, Schleifer argues, with profound implications for the environment in the food-producing countries of the Global South.

At the center of Schleifer's study are Brazil and Indonesia—two key sites of experimentation in new models of global environmental and commodity governance—where palm oil and soy supply chains have seen unprecedented degrees of private environmental governance in recent years. However, instead of transforming these industries, the diffusion of transnational sustainability standards has accompanied a worsening ecological crisis, with mounting evidence of increasingly strong links between deforestation and globalization in twenty-first-century agricultural trade. To uncover the causes of this governance failure, Schleifer develops a multi-level framework for analyzing how contemporary globalization is reconfiguring the political economies of such industries. The result is the first comprehensive analysis of the shift of global agricultural trade to the South and the deepening crisis of commodity-driven deforestation—and a complex and evolving picture of both the risks and opportunities for sustainability presented by this transformative shift.
Conformational and oligomeric states of SPOP from small-angle X-ray scattering and molecular dynamics simulations
Authors: Thomasen F Emil , Cuneo Matthew J , Mittag Tanja , Lindorff-Larsen Kresten
Published: March 2023

Speckle-type POZ protein (SPOP) is a substrate adaptor in the ubiquitin proteasome system, and plays important roles in cell-cycle control, development, and cancer pathogenesis. SPOP forms linear higher-order oligomers following an isodesmic self-association model. Oligomerization is essential for SPOP’s multivalent interactions with substrates, which facilitate phase separation and localization to biomolecular condensates. Structural characterization of SPOP in its oligomeric state and in solution is, however, challenging due to the inherent conformational and compositional heterogeneity of the oligomeric species. Here, we develop an approach to simultaneously and self-consistently characterize the conformational ensemble and the distribution of oligomeric states of SPOP by combining small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We build initial conformational ensembles of SPOP oligomers using coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations, and use a Bayesian/maximum entropy approach to refine the ensembles, along with the distribution of oligomeric states, against a concentration series of SAXS experiments. Our results suggest that SPOP oligomers behave as rigid, helical structures in solution, and that a flexible linker region allows SPOP’s substrate-binding domains to extend away from the core of the oligomers. Additionally, our results are in good agreement with previous characterization of the isodesmic self-association of SPOP. In the future, the approach presented here can be extended to other systems to simultaneously characterize structural heterogeneity and self-assembly.

Incorporating dietary fiber from fruit and vegetable waste in meat products: a systematic approach for sustainable meat processing and improving the functional, nutritional and health attributes
Authors: Haque Abdul , Ahmad Saghir , Azad Z. R. A. A. , Adnan Mohd , Ashraf Syed Amir
Published: March 2023

Background

Every year, the food business produces a sizeable amount of waste, including the portions of fruits and vegetables that are inedible, and those that have reached a stage where they are no longer suitable for human consumption. These by-products comprise of components such as natural antioxidants (polyphenols, carotenoid etc.), dietary fiber, and other trace elements, which can provide functionality to food. Due to changing lifestyles, there is an increased demand for ready-to-eat products like sausages, salami, and meat patties. In this line, meat products like buffalo meat sausages and patties are also gaining the interest of consumers because of their rich taste. Meat, however, has a high percentage of fat and is totally deprived of dietary fiber, which poses severe health problems like cardiovascular (CV) and gastrointestinal diseases. The health-conscious consumer is becoming increasingly aware of the importance of balancing flavor and nutrition. Therefore, to overcome this problem, several fruit and vegetable wastes from their respective industries can be successfully incorporated into meat products that provide dietary fiber and play the role of natural antioxidants; this will slow down lipid oxidation and increase the shelf-life of meat products.

Methodology

Extensive literature searches have been performed using various scientific search engines. We collected relevant and informative data from subject-specific and recent literature on sustainable food processing of wasted food products. We also looked into the various applications of waste fruit and vegetable products, including cereals, when they are incorporated into meat and meat products. All relevant searches meeting the criteria were included in this review, and exclusion criteria were also set.

Results

The pomace and peels of fruits like grapes, pomegranates, cauliflower, sweet lime, and other citrus are some of the most commonly used fruit and vegetable by-products. These vegetable by-products help inhibit oxidation (of both lipids and proteins) and the growth of pathogenic and spoilage bacteria, all without altering the consumer’s acceptability of the product on a sensory level. When included in meat products, these by-products have the potential to improve the overall product quality and lengthen its shelf-life under certain circumstances.

Conclusion

Cost-effective and easily accessible by-products from the fruit and vegetable processing industries can be used in meat products to enhance their quality features (physicochemical, microbial, sensory, and textural aspects) and health benefits. Additionally, this will provides environmental food sustainability by lowering waste disposal and improving the food’s functional efficacy.

Published: March 2023

Non-fire alarms can increase the distrust of employees toward fire signals. In particular, occurrences of non-fire alarms in large shipyards reduce employees’ work efficiency. Therefore, this study entailed an analysis of the causes of non-fire alarms through field investigations to derive a method to reduce non-fire alarms. Of the collected 985 fire signal occurrences, 569 (58%) were abnormal operations for which the causes could not be traced. Excluding these cases, 194 cases of hot work (20%) and 92 cases of water inflow (9%) accounted for the leading causes of non-fire alarms.
Explorando la relación entre planificación urbana y Pueblos Indígenas en áreas urbanas chilenas
Authors: Caulkins Matthew , Choque-Caseres Dante , Alarcón-González María-Verónica
Published: March 2023

Los procesos de fundación, planificación y gestión de las ciudades chilenas tuvieron un papel preponderante en la colonización de los Pueblos Indígenas y de sus territorios, mientras que hoy la participación de esos pueblos en la planificación urbana chilena se restringe a consultas indígenas gatilladas por Estudios de Impacto Ambiental y aprobaciones de Planes Reguladores Comunales. El presente estudio analiza cómo, en tres casos, la planificación urbana se relaciona con los Pueblos Indígenas en áreas urbanas chilenas. Los resultados apuntan a la insuficiente incorporación de la condición de pueblo de las poblaciones originarias en la planificación urbana, habiéndoseles negado la participación efectiva en la formulación, aplicación y evaluación de aquellos planes susceptibles de afectarles directamente. Se sugiere la necesidad de un mejor marco para el análisis de esa relación, materializado como “zona de contacto” donde se encuentran mundos espacio-jurídicos distintos.
Transformaciones socioespaciales en la frontera de la ciudad turística: la difícil permanencia de los espacios industriales en el centro histórico
Authors: Barrero-Rescalvo María
Published: March 2023

Este artículo desarrolla un análisis sobre el papel de los espacios productivos en los centros históricos de las ciudades occidentales y las contradicciones a las que se enfrentan en la actualidad. Para ello, se distingue entre desindustrialización, resultado de la reestructuración de la economía global, y desplazamiento industrial, consecuencia de la especulación inmobiliaria y de su facilitación con políticas urbanas orientadas a la gentrificación y, más recientemente, a la turistificación. Se estudia el proceso de desmantelamiento en las últimas décadas de los espacios productivos del centro histórico norte de Sevilla. La metodología se basa en el análisis del planeamiento y entrevistas a los usuarios actuales y desplazados, junto con un mapeo de actividades. Se concluye con la constatación del rol ambivalente de la administración, que habría facilitado la transformación socioespacial de estos espacios y el desplazamiento de la mayoría de los trabajadores manuales a la periferia.
Metropolización y crecimiento informal: dinámicas de movilidad residencial intrametropolitana en Bogotá y los municipios aledaños
Authors: Camargo Angélica
Published: March 2023

El objetivo de este texto es comprender los procesos de crecimiento informal en la zona metropolitana de Bogotá, en particular su relación con la movilidad residencial intrametropolitana en el periodo reciente. Con este fin se realizó una medición de la informalidad urbana en diecisiete municipios de la zona metropolitana de Bogotá a partir del cruce de múltiples fuentes de información y se analizaron las dinámicas de movilidad residencial a partir de los datos censales. Se identificó un conjunto de dinámicas complejas que superan la idea de la mera suburbanización desde el centro. Movimientos centrípetos desde el departamento de Cundinamarca, del cual Bogotá es capital, y desde el resto del país; movimientos centrífugos desde Bogotá y movilidades residenciales al interior de la zona metropolitana, configuran una compleja red de interdependencias en el territorio de análisis. A nivel metropolitano se replican los mismos patrones de segregación que al interior de Bogotá, solo que en peores condiciones de localización.

Published: March 2023

En este artículo presentamos los resultados de una investigación etnográfica, basada en una integración metodológica cualitativa/cuantitativa, sobre los impactos de la pandemia de Covid 19 en dos ciudades chilenas. En particular, aquellos referidos a la activación de redes alimentarias locales en sectores populares de las comunas de Peñalolén y Santiago (región Metropolitana) y Valdivia (región de Los Ríos). Recurriendo a un enfoque sustantivo y localizado de los sistemas alimentarios, se analizan los dinamismos, los alcances y los límites de dichas redes en los barrios, en tanto configuraciones socioterritoriales complejas. Nuestros datos evidencian que, en el marco de la crisis, el barrio, en sus distintas escalas, emerge como un espacio de resiliencia y resistencia creativa frente al problema del abastecimiento alimentario, revelando además un potencial de prosperidad en eventuales coyunturas similares.

Authors: De Araújo Carlos Henrique , Guimarães Irce Fernandes Gomes , Nascimento Alessandra Bruna Silva , Andrade Pedro Artur Fernandes Lino
Published: March 2023

A construção civil tem um papel de destaque na economia dos países, não sendo diferente na economia brasileira. Este setor é responsável por considerável movimentação financeira que impulsiona parte do desenvolvimento econômico. Sabe-se que, no referido setor, existe um grande índice de desperdício, retrabalho, necessidade de aprimoramento na organização de estoque, sequência das atividades e acompanhamento das operações. Diversos autores apresentam ferramenta lean construction para aumentar a produtividade, diminuir custos, aprimorar a execução das atividades e gerar valor por meio da análise de desperdícios nos serviços envolvidos na construção civil. Neste contexto, este artigo tem o objetivo de apresentar os resultados de uma análise preliminar de como  a construção enxuta é aplicada no cotidiano de um grupo de profissionais técnicos, engenheiros, arquitetos, diretores, gerentes e outros envolvidos no setor da construção civil em uma cidade do estado de Minas Gerais.
Gestão hospitalar: a auditoria operacional como ferramenta estratégica para o controle de desperdícios
Authors: Ceretta Jordana Cargnelutti , Seibert Rosane Maria , Callegaro Ana Rita Catelan
Published: March 2023

Atualmente, há escassez de recursos financeiros no ambiente hospitalar, a busca da excelência da gestão está se tornando cada vez mais presente e crescente. A auditoria é uma ferramenta de gestão hospitalar no sentido de manter a sustentabilidade financeira das instituições, incluindo a manutenção dos processos que envolvem a assistência e, principalmente, as fontes pagadoras e os prestadores de serviços médicos hospitalares. O objetivo deste trabalho foi demonstrar que a auditoria operacional em saúde pode atuar como uma ferramenta estratégica de gestão hospitalar para o controle de desperdícios. O estudo foi realizado por meio de revisão da literatura. A Auditoria operacional possibilita ao gestor hospitalar identificar meios de favorecer a qualificação do serviço sem agregar custos aos atendimentos prestados e a cobrança de forma correta conforme o prontuário do atendimento hospitalar. Este estudo deixa evidente que a auditoria utilizada como ferramenta de gestão nas instituições de saúde, atinge resultados satisfatórios tanto no controle de desperdícios, quanto em ações estratégicas. Destaca-se que o estudo se limitou a uma pesquisa bibliográfica visando analisar a auditoria operacional como ferramenta de gestão para as organizações de saúde. Dessa forma se sugere para futuras pesquisas feitas avaliando as organizações de saúde quanto à atuação da auditoria operacional para melhorar o seu desempenho, por meio da redução de desperdícios.
