PR-214-203805-R01 Performance Evaluation of ILI Systems for Dents and Coincident Features
Authors: Tiku Sanjay , Rana Arnav , John Binoy , Dinovitzer Aaron
Published: April 2024

Pipeline integrity management involves the analysis of pipeline condition information (e.g., pipe size, presence and size of features), operational/environmental conditions and line pipe material properties in engineering assessment (fitness-for-purpose) tools to evaluate operational risk. While nominal or minimum specified material properties and SCADA reported, design or estimated operational loading conditions can be considered, pipeline operators depend heavily on pipeline condition data from in-line inspection (ILI) systems. The current project presents the details of performance trials evaluating the ability of ILI systems to provide pipeline condition information for dents with coincident or closely aligned features. A set of sample dent features were prepared along with a trial protocol and performance metrics beyond those presented in API 1163 that were used to characterize performance.

ILI system pull and pump through trials of magnetic, ultrasonic and caliper-based ILI technologies from four ILI Service Providers were performed. Data from these trials were used to quantify detection, identification, and sizing performance of the ILI systems for isolated corrosion features, dents with variety of shapes including those without coincident features and those with corrosion, gouges and/or cracks. The effect of dents on the ILI system detection, identification and sizing of the coincident features was evaluated.

Published: April 2024

The Field trials on sunlower crop were conducted in different in states of India during the year from 2006 to 2008. The RSFPD, Government of India, DADF provided all inputs to conduct the tirals in the area under their juridiction to evaluate the suitable varieties vs hybrids of sunflower, their sowing season, irrigations vs rainfed conditions of cultivation including other agronomic package of practices. Government of India has strong feed and fodder development organization. There are several centrally sponsored schems like establishment of fodder banks, development of forage crops through biotechnology research, minikits distribution in the country. Central government distributed latest variety seeds in the country to a tune of cost of Rs 7.00 crores through eight RSFPDs. The sunflower is a multi purose crop and may be good source of animal feeds as a un-conventional feed resource. Sunlower can be grown with forage crops also. RSFPDs organized sunflower trials in different states to evaluate sunflower production in northern and southern parts of India. The varieties and hybrids released by AICRP (Sunflower) for different regions were selected for field trials. India has tropical and subtropical climate from south to north, respectively. Tamilnadu and Maharastra face the tropical while, Haryana, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh experience a sub-tropical type of climate having February and March as spring season in northen India. All India released hybrid varieties TCS-1, LSFH-35, RSFH-1, NDSH-1 and DRSF were grown at south India. Hybrid Vaiety RSFH-1 performed better with seed yield (2370.7/1995.2 kg/ha). Data shows that oil content (40.5, 42.5%) was higher in the seeds of cultivar NDSH-1. Maximum plant height (168.5, 161.5 cm) in LSFH-35 and head diameter (22.3 cm, 20.9 cm) was higher in the variety RSFH-1.
Procespluralisme en comediation bij conflictmanagement

Process pluralism and comediation

Many discussions and tensions exist with regards to the ‘who’ and the ‘how’ of mediation. Who is the better fit for the job? Should it be lawyers, who have claimed the field since ADR has originated some decades ago? Or should we entrust the function more into the hands of psychologists who are trained and educated in the science of human interaction and communication? Both perspectives may also impact the ‘how’, style or methodology of the mediation, be it facilitative or more evaluating. In this article it is argued that both perspectives, lawyers, and psychologists alike, facilitating and evaluating, offer an added value and may contribute to a more appropriate conflict management. We can create a win-win through a more pluralistic approach of both the who and the how of mediation, both externally and internally. Collaboration is key. For all those reasons, co-mediation may oftentimes present a useful approach to managing the conflicts at hand.

Rules of Obtaining Binding Tariff Information in the EU Analysis of Selected Problems
Authors: Laszuk Miroslawa
Published: April 2024

The institution of binding tariff information (BTI) has been present in the European Union (EU) since 1991. The importance of BTI continues to increase, which is confirmed by the number of issued decisions. Technological advances contribute to new products, making it difficult to determine the correct tariff code. Therefore, it is essential for entities trading in goods on the international level to apply for BTI decisions. Despite its increasing importance and the relatively lengthy existence of this institution, the provisions of the law concerning BTI include solutions that make it difficult for entrepreneurs and issuing authorities to use it.

Authors: Strati Hara
Published: April 2024

The present paper examines whether it is possible to amend a customs declaration filed with respect to goods that are brought into the European Union (EU) customs territory, once such goods have been cleared and released by the customs authorities. Furthermore, it examines whether this amendment could lead to a repayment of customs duties and/or value added tax (VAT) that has been overcharged, upon request of the declarant. Finally, the paper focuses on the rights of the declarant at the stage of examination of their application for repayment of overcharged amounts and upon a potential rejection of such application by the customs authorities.
Ecological dynamics approach in physical education to promote cognitive skills development
Authors: Coppola Silvia , D'Anna Cristiana , Minghelli Valeria , Vastola Rodolfo
Published: April 2024

The aim of this paper is to carry out a theoretical transposition of the principles of the ecological dynamic approach in the field of physical and sports education, aimed at defining educational approaches capable of promoting an effective acquisition of cognitive skills, through the practice of physical activity and sport. Physical education, according to an ecological dynamics perspective, considers the performer a complex adaptive system, which interacts with the environments in a functionally integrated way, underlining the interrelationship between motor processes, cognitive and perceptive functions. The cognitive area of Life Skills (Cognitive Life Skills, CLS), divided by the WHO, into decision making, problem solving, creative thinking and critical thinking processes, can be framed as an intrinsic part of goal-directed behaviour influenced by functional constraints determined by individual-environment interaction. Therefore, physical and sport activity practiced according to the principles of the ecological dynamic approach can be configured as an elective tool to promote the development of cognitive skills. In this article, the relevant theories of ecological dynamics are discussed and recent empirical data on the perceptual-cognitive processes which are activated through the practice of physical education and sport are described to underline the potential of such practices for the development of cognitive skills. The development of this specific theoretical transposition represents a starting point for the definition and experimentation of ecological dynamic interventions designed with the aim of investigating the effects of physical and sporting activity on the development of cognitive skills for life.
Analisis Yuridis Ultra Petita Hakim dalam menjatuhkan Pidana Mati terhadap pelaku yang menyimpan Narkotika Golongan I bukan tanaman melebihi 5 gram (Studi Putusan Pengadilan No. 241/PID.SUS/2019/PN.TJB)

Published: April 2024

Putusan Hakim adalah puncak dari prose hukum Hakim dalam memutus suatu perkara senantiasa dituntut untuk mendayagunakan segenap potensi yang dimilikinya. Putusan hakim harus memuat pertimbangan hukum yang cukup dan relevan sebagai dasar dari kesimpulan dan ketetapan hakim. Maka dari itu tidak jarang Hakim mengeleuarkan putusan melebihi dari yang diminta Jaksa Peunut Umum, Ultra petita istilahnya, dengan kata lain ultra petita adalah penjatuhan putusan oleh hakim atas perkara yang tidak dituntut atau mememutus melebihi dari pada yang diminta. Hakim pada akhirnya dituntut untuk senantiasa mengerahkan daya cipta, rasa dan karsa yang dimilikinya untuk memutus dengan seadil-adilnya. Bahkan pada kondisi tertentu seorang hakim dituntut untuk berani melakukan terobosan hukum (hukum dalam artian undang-undang), karena hukum yang tidak ada lagi mencerminkan atau mempresentasi nilai-nilai keadilan.Dalam perkembangannya di Indonesia Pengadilan telah banyak memutus putusan-putusan yang mengandung Ultra Petita maupun yang tidak memutus dengan Ultra Petita. Adanya putusan Pengadilan yang memuat ultra petita inilah yang banyak menjadi perdebatan sehingga penulis berusaha mengkaji dan meneliti melalui hal tersebut.

Published: April 2024

O envelhecimento populacional pode resultar no aumento não apenas de doenças físicas, mas também de doenças mentais. A depressão, como um transtorno mental, impacta significativamente na qualidade de vida dos idosos. No entanto, os sintomas frequentemente são negligenciados por profissionais de saúde, sendo erroneamente considerados como uma consequência natural do envelhecimento. O enfermeiro, desempenhando um papel crucial no contato direto com os idosos na Atenção Básica, tem a responsabilidade fundamental de identificar manifestações clínicas indicativas de depressão. Tratou-se de um estudo descritivo e transversal, com uma amostra de 118 idosos que frequentaram uma Unidade Básica de Saúde durante três meses. Os objetivos incluíram analisar o perfil sociodemográfico dos idosos, avaliar o status cognitivo, determinar o índice de idosos com sintomas depressivos não diagnosticados, avaliar a capacidade funcional e analisar a influência do perfil sociodemográfico e da capacidade funcional sobre a depressão. Os dados indicaram que 75,8% das pessoas eram do sexo feminino, enquanto 82,5% estavam na faixa etária de 60├ 79 anos. Além disso, 65% dos participantes exibiram sintomas indicativos de depressão, enquanto 57,5% demonstraram independência nas ABVDs e 96,7% nas AIVDs. Adicionalmente, 60,8% apresentaram baixa AAVD, sendo que a maioria dos idosos manteve preservada a capacidade cognitiva. As variáveis que mais influenciaram o índice de depressão foram o arranjo de moradia e a presença de um companheiro, indicando que viver sozinho ou a ausência de companhia pode aumentar o risco de depressão. Esses resultados ressaltam a importância de os profissionais de saúde adotarem uma abordagem cuidadosa e minuciosa na identificação de sintomas depressivos em idosos, visando uma intervenção eficaz e melhor qualidade de vida para essa população.

O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar a incidência de internações por Tuberculose Pulmonar no território brasileiro entre janeiro de 2019 e janeiro de 2024, com foco na determinação da prevalência em diferentes faixas etárias, gêneros e nos gastos associados ao tratamento. Utilizando uma abordagem descritiva e quantitativa, empregou-se o Sistema de Informações Hospitalares do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS) para examinar as estatísticas de internações por Tuberculose Pulmonar em nível nacional. Os resultados revelam um total de 51.444 internações registradas durante o período sob análise. Destas, 38.459 (74,75%) afetaram pacientes do sexo masculino, enquanto 12.985 (25,25%) foram do sexo feminino. Do total de internações, 11.816 (22,96%) referiram-se a pacientes com idades variando de menos de 1 ano a 29 anos, enquanto 39.628 (77,04%) ocorreram em indivíduos com idades entre 30 anos e mais de 80 anos. Além disso, o estudo reporta os gastos associados ao tratamento, os quais alcançaram o montante aproximado de R$ 116.398.045,26, representando um impacto significativo nas finanças destinadas à saúde pública do país. Diante desse cenário, são discutidos os desafios enfrentados no diagnóstico precoce, tratamento eficaz e prevenção da tuberculose pulmonar, incluindo a resistência aos medicamentos e a necessidade de intervenções abrangentes. Enfrentar tais desafios requer uma abordagem multidisciplinar que não apenas considere os aspectos médicos da doença, mas também os determinantes sociais, econômicos e ambientais que influenciam sua incidência e propagação. Consequentemente, a conscientização pública, o acesso equitativo aos serviços de saúde e o investimento em pesquisa e desenvolvimento de novas ferramentas diagnósticas e terapêuticas são considerados essenciais para mitigar o impacto da tuberculose pulmonar na saúde pública e alcançar os objetivos de saúde globais.

Objetivo: Descrever os fatores predisponentes e os marcadores biológicos para a lesão renal aguda após cirurgia cardíaca. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, realizada nos materiais indexados na BVS: MEDLINE, LILACS e o IBECS. Foram utilizados os Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DeCS) em cruzamento com o operador booleano ‘AND’, da seguinte forma: “Cardiovascular surgical procedures” AND “Acute kidney failure”  AND “Risk factors”. Após a aplicação dos critérios de elegibilidade foram selecionados 9 (nove) estudos para compor essa revisão. Resultados e Discussão: Evidenciou-se que entre os fatores de risco para LRA pós-cirurgia cardíaca destacam-se as cirurgias valvares, aórticas e revascularização miocárdica, bem como sexo masculino, idade avançada e comorbidades secundárias, incluindo hipertensão arterial sistêmica, diabetes mellitus, doença arterial coronariana, doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica, insuficiência e disfunções cardíacas e doença renal crônica. Ademais, a suspeita de sepse, o uso de inibidores da calcineurina, vancomicina e piperacilina-tazobactam e a exposição ao bypass cardiopulmonar constituem fatores de risco para a condição em jovens adultos com cardiopatia congênita. No que concerne aos marcadores preditores, estes incluem: adrenomedullin, MR-proadrenomedullin, troponina T de alta sensibilidade, copeptina, endotelina-1, níveis de pro-adrenomedullin pós-operatórios, redução na taxa de filtração glomerular, proteinúria, razão normalizada de proteína na urina e concentrações elevadas de NT-proBNP pré-operatório e renina no meio sanguíneo. Considerações Finais: Portanto, ressalta-se a necessidade da implementação de medidas que visem amenizar os índices de LRA, através de protocolos de segurança que auxiliem na mensuração dos riscos para a condição e fluxogramas de acompanhamento contínuo dos biomarcadores.

Published: April 2024

En los últimos años ha ocurrido un incremento de temas relacionados con el carácter intercultural de las instituciones educativas donde hacen vida estudiantes indígenas. Sobre la temática de la interculturalidad que se produce en las instituciones donde convergen estudiantes con diversidad cultural, surge esta disertación cuyo objetivo implica reflexionar sobre las competencias interculturales en los procesos educativos de la institución educativa Pablo VI, ubicada en la vereda Villa Nueva, del municipio de Fortul, en el departamento de Arauca, Colombia. Por cuanto en estas instituciones asisten estudiantes de etnias indígenas. Desde lo teórico se sustenta en las aportaciones de Fullat (1992), para quien la manera de educar demanda un contenido axiológico producto de la Interculturalidad. La metodología se sostiene en un enfoque interpretativo, a partir de un estudio cualitativo Etnográfico. Primeramente, se revisó las planillas de inscripción de los estudiantes, que se tomó como diagnóstico para conocer la cantidad de estudiantes indígenas que hacen vida en la institución, los cuales pertenecen a las etnias Uwas, Cusay, y Guahibo. A partir de allí se interrogó, con un guion de entrevista en profundidad, a tres estudiantes indígenas, uno de cada etnia. El análisis del instrumento permitió generar dos categorías; la diversidad cultural y los valores interculturales. Se concluye que es fundamental valorar y promover los saberes locales y tradicionales dentro del currículo educativo para fortalecer la identidad y los valores de los estudiantes indígenas.

Evaluation of Designer Chicken Eggs Enriched with Vitamin D3 and Zinc
Authors: Megha P. S. , Ramnath V. , Vishnudas K. V.
Published: April 2024

Designer poultry eggs can be produced in various ways. In the present study chicken eggs were enriched with vitamin D3 and zinc by UVB (Ultra Violet Blue) light exposure (3 h/day) and dietary zinc supplementation (75 mg/kg) respectively. The study was conducted in thirty-two crossbred (White Leghorn N strain and Desi) layer birds. The trial was commenced from 29 weeks of age and conducted for 12 weeks. The current research work pointed out the enriching influence of UVB radiation and dietary zinc supplementation on concentration of vitamin D3 and zinc in eggs. Vitamin D3 and zinc concentrations in egg and serum were significantly higher (p<0.01) compared to the control group. UVB exposure and zinc supplementation also had a significant (p<0.01) impact on serum calcium and phosphorus levels. However, Liver enzyme activities of birds were not influenced either by UVB light exposure or by zinc supplementation.
The dietary supplementation of hens with zinc is an effective approach to supply consumers with foods from animal sources that are enriched with zinc. Current findings showed that feeding of zinc supplemented diet to chickens offered a promising alternative to fortify egg with zinc. Furthermore, UVB light exposure would be a better choice for enhancing vitamin D3 content of eggs and to produce designer eggs enriched with vitamin D3. It increased the serum vitamin D3 level which was indicative of its transport from skin to ovaries after synthesis.
The use of UVB exposure and zinc supplementation as an easy, cheap and safe procedure for producing dual enriched designer eggs with vitamin D3 and zinc is recommended as this would offer additional health benefits to consumers.

The objective of this research is to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the factors that contribute to job stress among banking employees in Karachi. This study aims to elucidate the relationship between transformational leadership and work stress, in the social exchange theory. The study collected data from multiple individuals employed at various banks in Karachi. A questionnaire was employed to gather information from a total of 380 employees. The analysis of this study was conducted using the SMART-PLS4. For this quantitative research study, convenient sampling was employed, along with a cross-sectional technique. The findings suggest that transformational leadership and work stress are positively correlated. Additionally, emotional intelligence factors, including self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, and empathy, were found to mediate the relationship between transformational leadership and job stress. However, the study did not find evidence to support the mediating effect of social skills on this relationship. In Karachi's banking sector, putting transformational leadership into practice and giving emotional intelligence training top priority can greatly lower workplace stress, improve the well-being of workers, and create a more optimistic and successful work atmosphere. The cross-sectional approach and sample size of this study restrict the findings to the banking industry in Karachi. For a more comprehensive knowledge of the evolution of work stress and wider generalizability, future studies should make use of longitudinal approaches and take into account other mediators and moderators. The research examines the relationship between transformational leadership and work stress through the novel mediator, emotional intelligence. The five components of emotional intelligence enable a more thorough investigation to gain a deeper understanding of workplace dynamics. Utilizing the study's structure to deliver valuable insights to the organizations.

Game design is a challenging activity that necessitates expertise and competencies from various domains. Teaching new designers involves grasping and implementing methodologies, integrating them into a particular design context, which proves to be a demanding yet essential task. In this paper, we report an experience in the conception of a game where two methodologies were analyzed and combined to describe a process with well-defined sequential activities. To verify the results with the application of this methodology, the developed game was made available for testing with real users, together with a questionnaire that sought to analyze the players’ level of satisfaction with the main aspects of the game. Based on the feedback and examination of responses from test participants, it was evident how adjusting and implementing the method positively influenced the game project in an organized and unified manner, leading to a favorable reception from users.
Perspective Chapter: Association among Fantasy, Metacognition and Autobiographical Memory in Self-Compassion during Empathy and its Psycho/Neuro/Biological Basis
Authors: Shiota Shoichi
Published: April 2024

The term ‘抜苦与楽 (Bakku Yoraku)’ means to remove suffering and give comfort. In Buddhism, this word means that Buddhas and Bodhisattvas save sentient beings from suffering and provide them with happiness. The qualitative difference in empathy between humans and Buddha is suggested to be related to the psychological function of self-compassion. I explore fantasy, metacognition and autobiographical memory, integral components of self-compassion during empathy, from psychological, neurological and biological perspectives. I discuss the possibility of using a picture book as an intervention for fostering fantasy. To create a new picture book, I must understand the percentages of adjectives, verbs and nouns used in the world’s most-read books. Subsequently, a new word is coined. A fantasy story is created using these words. This story should evoke warm and positive emotions, such as the Holy Bible or Buddhist scriptures. The narration of the story must be created from 1st person perspective. I hope that this article will be helpful to researchers, educators and clinicians seeking a peaceful future.

Background: The primary method for addressing dental problems traditionally involves the removal and replacement of damaged tissue with synthetic substitutes. However, these materials often lack the physical and chemical properties of natural teeth and are prone to mechanical failures. Recent advancements in tissue engineering have highlighted an alternative approach that allows for the regeneration of teeth using scaffolds. Objectives: This study explored the viability of human gingival fibroblast cells in a scaffold composed of polyhydroxybutyrate, chitosan, and bioglass nanoparticles (PHB/chitosan/nBG). Methods: This study is experimental and was conducted in a laboratory setting. Scaffolds of PHB, PHB/chitosan, and PHB/chitosan/nBG were previously prepared from PHB polymer, chitosan, and bioglass using the electrospinning method. Human gingival fibroblast cells (C165) were acquired from the Pasteur Institute and cultured. Twenty thousand cells were seeded onto each scaffold and into the wells of a 24-well plate for periods of 3, 5, and 7 days. Subsequently, cell viability and proliferation were assessed using the MTT assay method, with each experiment repeated three times. Results: Cell viability and proliferation on the PHB/chitosan/nBG scaffold demonstrated a significant increase compared to the other scaffolds (P ≤ 0.01). Conclusions: The PHB/chitosan/nBG scaffold was found to be non-toxic to human gingival fibroblast cells and exhibited good biocompatibility.

Background: Urinary stones rank as the third most common disease of the genitourinary system, following urinary tract infections and prostate diseases. Their incidence is influenced by various demographic, environmental, and genetic factors. Objectives: This study aimed to explore the association between Body Mass Index (BMI), blood lipids, and kidney stones. Methods: This cross-sectional study utilized the baseline data of 10 133 participants aged 35 - 70 years from the Fasa cohort study. The dataset included demographic information, biochemical laboratory results, anthropometric measurements, behavioral data, and the presence or absence of kidney stones. Data analysis employed t-tests, chi-square tests, and logistic regression models. Results: Among the 10 133 participants, 54.9% were women, with a mean age of 48.63 ± 9.57 years. The prevalence of kidney stones was 17.3%. The findings indicated a correlation between BMI and triglyceride levels (TG) with kidney stones. Elevated BMI and triglyceride levels were associated with increased odds of developing kidney stones, with odds ratios of 1.048 (95% CI: 1.025 - 1.048) and 1.006 (95% CI: 1.001 - 1.006), respectively. Conclusions: The study revealed a significant relationship between BMI, triglyceride levels, and kidney stones. Individuals with kidney stones exhibited higher mean BMI and TG levels compared to those without. These findings from the Fasa PERSIAN (Prospective Epidemiological Research Studies in Iran) cohort suggest that kidney stone disease is linked to elevated triglyceride levels and BMI. Given that a high-fat diet contributes to increased BMI and elevated serum triglyceride levels, measures to reduce weight, combat obesity, and manage triglyceride levels are warranted to mitigate the risk of kidney stone formation.
