Investigation of the Effect of Filling Ratio on Mechanical Properties of Pumice Filled Epoxy-Based Composites.
Authors: KÖSEDAĞ Ertan
Published: June 2023

This study attempted to fill epoxy, a widely used industrial material, with pumice, a cheap volcanic rock, in order to form a composite material. The objective was to evaluate the worth of the pumice and improve the mechanical properties of the epoxy. Composite samples with no filler, 10%, 20%, or 30% filler were produced. An ultrasonic mixer during manufacture made sure the powder was dispersed properly, and vacuuming stopped air pockets from accumulating in the composite. The mechanical characteristics of the composites were evaluated by compression testing, and the post-production distribution of the powder was observed using optical microscope pictures. Finally, XRF analysis was used to establish the composition of the pumice powder. The outcomes demonstrated that adding filler greatly enhanced the maximum stress and unit strain values of the composites.

На примере бассейна р. Жабай проведено исследование климатических и гидрологических изменений, дана оценка степени опасности наводнений и возможности их предупреждения и прогнозирования. С 2000 г. в Казахстане наблюдается период стабильного повышения температуры воздуха. В бассейне р. Жабай в этот период наблюдалось сильное наводнение (2014 г.) и разрушительные волны (2017 г.), которые привели к угрозе жизни населения г. Атбасар, расположенного в устье реки. Применение гидравлического моделирования HEC-RAS показало, что степень опасности в восточной части г. Атбасар оценивается как экстремальная (кризисная), а в южной как высокая. Прогноз климатических изменений на 2030 и 2040 гг., составленный с помощью регрессионных уравнений, показал, что в этом речном бассейне дальнейший рост температуры воздуха и осадков приведет к повышению температуры на 0,8–2,2 оС и осадков на 7–22 % от среднемноголетних значений. Эти расчеты показывают, что в будущем продолжительность теплого периода, интенсивность таяния снега, а также количество выпадающих осадков будет увеличиваться. В статье представлена оценка краткосрочных гидрологических прогнозов, составленных с применением гидрологической модели SWIM (Soil and Water Integrated Model). Полученные результаты показывают, что оправдываемость прогнозов водности на период паводка на примере независимых проверочных лет (2019 и 2020 гг.) составила 81–86 %. Таким образом, данная модель может применяться в оперативной практике для составления краткосрочных прогнозов расхода и объема воды. Приведенные параметры оптимизации позволят также использовать эту модель для среднесрочных, долгосрочных и сверхдолгосрочных прогнозов водности р. Жабай. Результаты проведенного исследования предназначены для лиц, принимающих решения по перспективному планированию водных ресурсов в условиях изменения климата. Также результаты могут использоваться водохозяйственными, коммунально-бытовыми службами и органами по чрезвычайным ситуациям для принятия превентивных мер по защите населения, строительству противопаводковых и других инженерно-технических сооружений.

Background: The severe pharmacodermias (SF) are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Chronic kidney failure (CKD) related with dialysis is one of the main factors associated with higher mortality. ABCD-10 is a predictive mortality scale that includes the history of dialysis.
Case report: Male 2 years old with a history of CKD on peritoneal dialysis and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, admitted to the hospital due to acute peritonitis and developed SJS-NET secondary to phenytoin administration. He was treated with immunoglobulin and systemic steroid without improvement. Septic shock was added, presenting a fatal outcome.
Conclusions: In the case presented, the ABCD-10 scale was applied, reporting a greater prediction of mortality compared to SCORTEN due to a history of dialysis. In children with SF there are no validated predictive mortality. Future initiatives should search for risk factors for mortality in children who develop SF for the creation of a predictive mortality scale.

The transmission of infectious agents such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B (HBV), and hepatitis C (HCV) represents the greatest threat to the safety of blood transfusion to the recipient. The association of HIV infection with HBV and/or HCV is common worldwide, due to shared modes of transmission. The prevalence of HIV-HBV co-infection is estimated to be 5-10% in the United States and 20-30% in Asia and parts of sub-Saharan Africa. Other studies report HCV co-infection in 9-25% of HIV-infected patients. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of markers of co-infection between hepatitis (B,C) and human immunodeficiency virus in blood donations collected at the CHU Kati blood transfusion center. It was a retrospective study conducted from October 1 to December 31, 2018. Data were collected from blood donors aged 18 to 60 years. The Pre-donation medical interview was the first barrier for the selection of subjects at risk. The sample was composed of 92% males and 8% females out of a total of 507 individuals sampled. Biological screening was performed by ELISA (Enzyme Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay). The results revealed a prevalence of 0.86% of HIV-HBV co-infection only in rhesus negative donors. No co-infection between HIV and HCV was found. This study showed that at the Kati University Hospital, only rhesus-negative donors presented cases of HIV-HBV co-infection.

Hexagonal Grid Shadow Generation using Bézier Curves
Authors:   Korean Institute of Smart Media, Kim Minseok , Nam Taekgwan , Park Youngjin
Published: June 2023

The hexagonal grid structure has been studied for processing and representing spatial information data in Geographic Information Systems. Visualization using a hexagonal grid has high visibility compared to other grid representation methods. However, it is difficult to effectively convey quantitative data and differences between grids depending on the geospatial data represented. In this paper, we propose a method to visually emphasize the hexagonal grid by generating shadow on the outside of the hexagonal grid. To do so, we offset the outer line segments of the hexagonal grid to be emphasized and generate a Bézier curve based on that information to determine the final shadow shape. We also apply variable transparency toward the edges of the shadow because the shadow gradually fades away from the hexagonal grid. We have shown that the proposed method can effectively generate shadow areas given not only a single hexagonal grid but also multiple hexagonal grids and can generate various shadow shapes based on user interface inputs. We apply the proposed method to Yongsan-gu, one of the districts of Seoul, and show the results of visually emphasizing it after generating shadow using the proposed method.

Exclusion of Horizontal and Vertical Transmission as Major Sources ofTrypanosoma CruziInfections in a Breeding Colony of Rhesus Macaques (Macaca Mulatta)
Authors: Kiehl Whitney M , Hodo Carolyn L , Hamer Gabriel L , Hamer Sarah A , Wilkerson Gregory K
Published: June 2023

The vector-borne protozoal parasiteTrypanosoma cruzicauses Chagas disease in humans and animals. This parasite is endemic to the southern United States where outdoor-housed NHP at biomedical facilities are at risk of infection. In addi- tion to the direct morbidity caused byT. cruzi, infected animals are of limited biomedical research use because infections can produce confounding pathophysiologic changes even in animals with no clinical disease. In part due to concerns for directT. cruzitransmission between animals, infected NHP at some institutions have been culled, removed, or otherwise isolated from uninfected animal populations. However, data that document horizontal or vertical transmission in captive NHP in the United States are not available. To evaluate the potential for inter-animal transmission and to identify environmental factors that affect the distribution of new infections in NHPs, we conducted a retrospective epidemiologic study of a rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) breeding colony in south Texas. We used archived biologic samples and husbandry records to identify the time and location of macaque seroconversion. These data were used to perform a spatial analysis of how geographic location and animal associations affected the spread of disease and to infer the importance of horizontal or vertical routes of transmission. The majority ofT. cruziinfections were spatially clustered, suggesting that environmental factors promoted vector exposure in various areas of the facility. Although we cannot not rule out horizontal transmission, our data suggest that horizontal transmission was not a critical route for spread for the disease. Vertical transmission was not a contributing factor in this colony. In conclusion, our findings suggest that local triatome vectors were the major source ofT. cruziinfections in captive macaques in our colony. Therefore, limiting contact with vectors, rather than segregation of infected macaques, is a key strategy for disease prevention at institutions that house macaques outdoors in the southern United States.
Designing a transmedia educational process in non-formal education: Considerations from families, children, adolescents, and practitioners
Authors: Erta-Majó Arnau , Vaquero Eduard
Published: June 2023

Transmedia storytelling has the potential to be an effective approach for non-formal education. Previous research has suggested that there may be a reciprocal relationship between transmedia storytelling and the characteristics of non-formal learners. However, there is limited literature on how to structure and design educational processes using this approach in non-formal settings, and even less literature that integrates the perspectives of stakeholders on the necessary components for instructional design. To address this gap, a qualitative analysis of multiformat focus groups was conducted to describe the necessary items to be considered when developing transmedia educational process (TEP) in non-formal educational proposals when these are designed to families, children, and/or adolescents. Based on the findings, seven important levels were identified for instructional designing of TEPs: level of intentions (1), level of facilitators’ indications (2), level of participants’ needs (3), level of narrative integrations (4), level of elaboration and production (5), level of means and technological/physical support (6), and level of sharing willingness (7). The study discusses the importance to consider multiple perspectives, including those of facilitators, children and adolescents, and parents, when designing TEPs. Additionally, it is important to use a variety of media platforms, formats, and channels to engage diverse and heterogeneous groups of participants in non-formal educational settings. Further research could focus on developing and validating tools and strategies to guide instructional design in these types of educational processes.

This study examines how the European Union (EU) employed strategic ambiguity as a discursive resource to manage its reputational crisis during the COVID-19 pandemic. For that purpose, this research analyses tweets in English published by six central authorities of the EU in three different phases of the COVID-19 crisis (pre-crisis, acute crisis, and post-crisis). The findings reveal that during the early stages of the pandemic, characterised by higher uncertainty, European authorities often resorted 232Defence Strategic Communications | Volume 12 | Spring 2023DOI 10.30966/2018.RIGA.12.10to ambiguous tweets through vague metaphors, opaque information, and disjointed messages. By the end of the first COVID-19 wave these authorities progressively constructed a solid narrative that rationalised the pandemic as a challenge reaffirming the EU’s principles and capacities. This study suggests that when the EU faced more external criticism and inner discord among member states, its authorities resorted to ambiguity to strategically mitigate its reputational damage while navigating through conflicting interests in a high-pressure scenario.

Authors: Wardizal Wardizal
Published: June 2023

Purpose: This paper aims to briefly discuss the magical aspects of traditional Minangkabau music. Magical reality is found in some traditional music such as the use of spells, the process of making musical instruments, how to treat musical instruments and the use of facilities in musical performances. This article aims to understand the form and function of magical practice in the context of Minangkabau traditional music. Research Methods: This phenomenon is discussed through the perspective of cultural studies as a form of dialectic between adat (art processes) and the religion of the Minangkabau community. Results and Discussion: The Minangkabau community is a devout Muslim. They only believe in God as taught by Islam. Thus, all the actions of the Minangkabau people must be based on the rules justified by Islam. Although in Islamic belief, shamanism, magic or all forms of activity or behavior are “sirik”, shamanic practices or magical ritual activities are still practiced in the community. Implication: Beliefs and behaviors related to magic are essentially part of Minangkabau culture which contains ideas and feelings, actions and works produced by the community through the learning process.

Acremonium is acknowledged as a highly ubiquitous genus including saprobic, parasitic, or endophytic fungi that inhabit a variety of environments. Species of this genus are extensively exploited in industrial, commercial, pharmaceutical, and biocontrol applications, and proved
to be a rich source of novel and bioactive secondary metabolites. Acremonium has been recognised as a taxonomically difficult group of ascomycetes, due to the reduced and high plasticity of morphological characters, wide ecological distribution and substrate range. Recent advances in
molecular phylogenies, revealed that Acremonium is highly polyphyletic and members of Acremonium s. lat. belong to at least three distinct orders of Sordariomycetes, of which numerous orders, families and genera with acremonium-like morphs remain undefined. To infer the
phylogenetic relationships and establish a natural classification for acremonium-like taxa, systematic analyses were conducted based on a large number of cultures with a global distribution and varied substrates. A total of 633 cultures with acremonium-like morphology, including 261 ex-type
cultures from 89 countries and a variety of substrates including soil, plants, fungi, humans, insects, air, and water were examined. An overview phylogenetic tree based on three loci (ITS, LSU, rpb2) was generated to delimit the orders and families. Separate trees based on a combined
analysis of four loci (ITS, LSU, rpb2, tef-1α) were used to delimit species at generic and family levels. Combined with the morphological features, host associations and ecological analyses, acremonium-like species evaluated in the present study are currently assigned to
63 genera, and 14 families in Cephalothecales, Glomerellales and Hypocreales, mainly in the families Bionectriaceae, Plectosphaerellaceae and Sarocladiaceae and five new hypocrealean families, namely Chrysonectriaceae, Neoacremoniaceae, Nothoacremoniaceae,
Pseudoniessliaceae and Valsonectriaceae. Among them, 17 new genera and 63 new combinations are proposed, with descriptions of 65 new species. Furthermore, one epitype and one neotype are designated to stabilise the taxonomy and use of older names. Results of this study demonstrated
that most species of Acremonium s. lat.grouped in genera of Bionectriaceae, including the type A. alternatum. A phylogenetic backbone tree is provided for Bionectriaceae, in which 183 species are recognised and 39 well-supported genera are resolved, including
10 new genera. Additionally, rpb2 and tef-1α are proposed as potential DNA barcodes for the identification of taxa in Bionectriaceae.

In this paper, the improvement of heat exchange in a compact heat exchanger that is used in the automotive cooling system is numerically studied due to the importance that this part of the automotive represents in removing the heat generated in the automotive engine. The study adopted CFD simulation to introduce a new design of radiator that included changing the geometry and material of the tube while maintaining the same cross-section area In addition, the study also included replacing the shape of the fins from the louver to plain fin with the increase in the number of tubes. The study used a water-Ethylene glycol mixture (50:50) as a hot fluid with four flow rates (10, 12, 18, 24) l/h, (75, 85, 95) °C inlet temperature, and air as a cold fluid with 1.5, 2.5, 4.5, 5.5) m/s and (35) °C inlet temperature. Through the results obtained, the designed model appeared to have a higher thermal performance than the standard model due to the material and shape of the tube and fins. The designed model performed well, achieving an improvement ratio of (18.6%) for the heat transfer rate, (13.8%) for the overall heat transfer coefficient for the hot fluid, and (29.8%) for the air-side heat transfer coefficient
Views of Exercise in People With Systemic Sclerosis: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Frade Stephanie , Campbell Chloe , Bird Stephen P. , Cameron Melainie
Published: June 2023

Background

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a connective tissue autoimmune disease that results in significant reduction in physical function and quality of life. Exercise may offer health benefits in people with autoimmune disease, yet approximately 50% of people with SSc are physically inactive and experience a wide array of barriers that may impede their exercise engagement. Currently, there are no exercise recommendations or guidelines for this population. In this qualitative study, we explore and describe barriers and facilitators to exercise in adults with SSc, aiming to provide person-centerd exercise recommendations for people with SSc.

Methods

Adults with SSc were purposefully recruited to represent diversity in disease type, duration, and manifestations. Three online focus groups were conducted to explore barriers and facilitators to exercise in people with SSc, transcribed, and thematically analyzed.

Results

Twenty-three adults with SSc (mean age 59 ± 11 years, 91% female) participated. Four themes emerged: (a) disease-related and general barriers to exercise, (b) perceived change in personal exercise capacity postdiagnosis, (c) beneficial effects of exercise, and (d) preference for modified supervised exercise.

Conclusion

SSc imposes disease-related barriers that, combined with general barriers, impede exercise engagement. People with SSc understand that exercise is potentially beneficial. Key recommendations and advice to counter these barriers include (a) ensuring a comfortable temperature to exercise, (b) using modified equipment (e.g., adjustable weighted straps), (c) individually supervising and modifying exercise as required, and (d) keeping people with SSc accountable and motivated to exercise.
krisis agraria: pembangunan di lahan pertanian
Authors: rahman anggina
Published: June 2023

Di indonesia sendiri krisis agraria terjadi disebabkan karena orientasi pembangunan nasional tidak sejalan dengan kondisi realitas yang ada pada masyarakat. Masifnya pembangunan infrastruktur juga sejalan dengan maraknya konflik agraria yang ditimbulkan akibat menyelewengnya pemerintah dari bingkai pembangunan nasional. Ambisi untuk terlepas dari sebutan negara berkembang atau negara ketiga menjadikan rezim melupakan jati diri bangsa indonesia sebagai negara agraris. Gencarnya pemerintah melakukan pembangunan secara masif menjadikan banyaknya kasus alih fungsi lahan. Maka dari itu pemerintah harus membuat kebijakan dengan mempertimbangkan kedua sisi. Yang mana pemerintah mengeluarkan kebijakan yang mengwajibkan adanya perlindungan pada lahan-lahan pertanian demi terjaminnya sektor pangan tetap berjalan dan terpenuhi. Disisi lain kebijakan yang menyangkut pembangunan infrastruktur demi tercapainya taraf kesejahteraan di daerah tersebut. Permasalahan alih fungsi lahan merupakan ancaman tersendiri bagi ketahanan pangan di indonesia. Oleh karena itu peralihan fungsi lahan dalam hal ini menjadi pokok pembahasan dari artikel ini. Dimana pembangunan infrastruktur dilakukan di lahan-lahan pertanian membawa dampak positif dan negatif tersendiri.
