„Virtus Seriniana”: egy iskolai Zrínyi-óda útja Gdańsktól Párizsig (1664)
Authors: Förköli Gábor
Published: October 2021

La correspondance de l'astronome Ismaël Boulliau (1605-1694), conservateur du cabinet Dupuy au palais parisien de la famille De Thou, constitue un fonds majeur pour l'étude des échanges scientifiques, diplomatiques et politiques du XVIIe siècle. Grâce aux rapports qu'ils entretenait avec Stanisław Lubieniecki, théologien socinien, et avec Johannes Hevelius, astronome actif à Gdańsk, Boulliau était toujours bien informé des nouvelles polonaises. En même temps, il recevait les copies des rapports qu'un agent envoyait régulièrement de Vienne à Pierre des Noyers, secrétaire de la reine de Pologne Louise-Marie de Gonzague. De surcroît, ses informateurs polonais et viennois permettaient à l'astronome français d'être au courant des événements de Hongrie, théâtre militaire de la guerre menée par les forces ottomanes contre l'alliance chrétienne en 1663-64. Dans la possession de Boulliau, on retrouve plusieurs documents relatifs à Nicolas Zrínyi (1620-1664), poète, écrivain et chef de guerre croato-hongrois, dont les exploits militaires lui valurent une renommée européenne pendant ce conflit. Dans cet article, nous présentons quelques lettres qui parlent de lui, ensuite nous nous focalisons sur un poème latin composé au lycée protestant de  Gdańsk, dont la copie manuscrite fut reçue par Boulliau. Écrit à l'éloge de Zrínyi, le texte fut originairement publié sous forme imprimée, dans une édition bilingue, munie d'une version allemande. L'ode fut récitée le 15 mai 1664 dans l'auditoire du lycée par l'élève Christoph Crebisius, avec le soutien de son professeur Johann Peter Titz (1612-1689). Vu leur expérience avec la poésie circonstancielle, tous les deux ont pu contribué à la genèse des deux poèmes, et puisque tous les deux écrivaient de temps en temps des poèmes paratextuels pour des ouvrages astronomiques, l'un et l'autre ont pu faire parvenir le poème à Boulliau. Tandis que le poème latin abonde dans les lieux communs d'une culture scolaire, comparant les exploits chrétiens aux douze travaux d'Hercule, la version allemande évite de surcharger son lecteur avec des références érudites. Les deux textes s'accordent sur la nécessité d'une alliance entre les pouvoirs chrétiens sous l'enseigne de l'empereur Léopold Ier. Enfin, l'article propose une édition des poèmes latin et allemand avec une traduction littérale hongroise.
„A’ Magyar Nyelvnek polgári nyelvvé emelése felől”
Authors: Ajkay Alinka
Published: October 2021

Száz éve, 1916-ban jelent meg Kazinczy Ferenc Tübingai pályaművének egyetlen teljes szövegkiadása. A szakirodalom a pályázat megírásának körülményeit elsősorban e szövegkiadás és elemzés  alapján ismeri, és az általa felállított keretek között fogadja el. Ha azonban újra áttekintjük kiadásának kortárs recepcióját, kritikai visszhangját, illetve ezzel párhuzamosan végigkövetjük a Kazinczy-kéziratok sorsát és történetüket, a sajtó alá rendező Heinrich Gusztáv számos megállapítása kétségessé és nehezen igazolhatóvá válik. A szakirodalomban régóta megszilárdult, az egymást követő kutató-generációkon átöröklődött vélekedések és tényként kezelt állítások is érdemesek arra, hogy újra megvizsgáljuk és számba vegyük őket, hiszen – ahogy arra a jelen tanulmány is bizonyítékot kínál – a hosszú kutatástörténet során olyan megállapítások tűnhettek el a kutatói vizsgálódás látóhatáráról vagy olyan felismerések maradtak teljesen ismeretlenek, amelyek fontos meglátásokat tartalmaznak, s amelyek érdemesek a továbbgondolásra s hogy visszakerüljenek a Kazinczy-kutatás szakirodalmának kánonjába. A Tübingai pályamű teljes szövege Kazinczy életében sem magyarul, sem németül nem jelent meg nyomtatásban, mindössze az írás harmadik részében található irodalmi szöveggyűjtemény látott napvilágot 1814-ben. Holott Kazinczy nagyon szerette volna megjelentetni, fontosnak tartotta  ez a magyar nyelv ügyében írott művét, annál is inkább, mivel ez az a Kazinczy-mű, amely a legrövidebb idő alatt jutott el a kor nyilvánosságának egyik legfőbb és legfontosabb fórumáig, az országgyűlésig. A Tübingai pályamű recepciójának bő kétszáz évét áttekintve megállapítható, hogy a mű befogadás-története jól elkülöníthető szakaszokra tagolható. Az 1916-os kiadást követően születtek alapos és fontos recenziók, amelyek közül kiemelkedik Simai Ödön írása. Kritikájában felhívja a figyelmet több lényeges dologra, amelyeket Heinrich Gusztáv nem vesz figyelembe, például arra, hogy a pályázatra beküldött német szöveg Kazinczy fordítása és nem másé, valamint hogy a töredékesen közölt magyar szöveg egy része feltehetően nem Kazinczy munkája, hanem Szemere Pálé. A Tübingai pályamű kéziratainak és kritikai sajtó alá rendezésének lényegi problémájára hívta föl tehát a figyelmet Simai Ödön, s érveivel feltétlenül érdemben foglalkozni kell, hiszen Simai észrevételeit mindeddig nem vette figyelembe a szakirodalom.

Dans mon article, je me propose d’étudier, selon la méthodologie des approches féministes et médiologiquesmettant en valeur la complexité des rapports qui existent entre la sphère privée et lasphère publique, la revue de mode la plus illustre du dernier tiers du 19e siècle, le Bazar Hongrois.J’analyserai les rapports que les rédacteurs avaient établis avec les abonnés et aussi la façon dontles journalistes ont exploité les cadres de la publicité. J’examine aussi la composition sociale etla répartition géographique du public du Bazar Hongrois, ainsi que l’activité des lecteurs dans larubrique qui leur est réservée. En guise de conclusion, je constate que les revues de mode de laseconde moitié du 19e siècle, par leur structure, par leur ton familial, par les rapports étroits avecles lecteurs et enfin par leur coopération avec quelques associations ont largement contribué à laformation de réseaux féminins. Les revues en question se définissaient comme salons : forumsd’échanges culturels, de rencontres et de discussions de toutes sortes. L’analyse de la rubrique réservée aux lettres provenant des lecteurs permet également d’étudier les mentalités du public, ses habitudes de consommation, ainsi que les contraintes qui pèsent sur les rédacteurs.

Authors: A Jallouli , M Michouar , N Laghfiri , A Ait Errami , S Oubaha , Z Samlani , K Krati
Published: October 2021

Hepatobiliary complications of sickle cell disease are rare, cirrhosis remains very exceptional, especially in heterozygous forms of the disease. We report the case of a 19-year-old patient whose etiologic investigation of hemolytic anemia revealed heterozygous sickle cell disease complicated by hepatic cirrhosis. The diagnosis of cirrhosis was made due to the presence of signs of hepato-cellular insufficiency, portal hypertension syndrome and hepatic dysmorphia on imaging. The etiological assessment was negative. The liver biopsy was not performed due to the risk of bleeding. The interest of this observation is to evoke hepato-biliary complications (in particular cirrhosis) in patients with sickle cell anemia, in order to avoid a pejorative evolution burdened with serious complications.

Authors: Somocurcio José , Ayquipa Tula , Pineda Vanessa
Published: October 2021

Se reporta el caso de un varón de 62 años quien presentó tos y dolor abdominal por dos semanas, con hallazgos tomográficos pulmonares compatibles con probable infección por SARS-CoV-2, que recibió tempranamente corticoterapia a dosis altas y de manera ambulatoria. El paciente presentó evolución tórpida, fue hospitalizado y falleció en el posoperatorio inmediato por un cuadro de abdomen agudo quirúrgico. El estudio anatomopatológico mostró estructuras parasitarias con características compatibles con amebas, como causa de una colitis aguda fulminante complicada, con perforación múltiple y peritonitis aguda. La colitis aguda fulminante por amebiasis intestinal en el contexto de un paciente con probable COVID-19 no había sido reportada en el Perú. Resulta importante resaltar la presentación fulminante con desenlace fatal de esta infección parasitaria prevalente en nuestro medio, en el contexto del uso de corticoides ante una probable infección pulmonar por COVID-19.

Background: Acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) is defined as a person of any age, at any time of the year, with acute onset of fever and a change in mental status (including symptoms such as confusion, disorientation, coma, inability to talk) and/or new onset of seizures (excluding simple febrile seizures) [WHO]. Japanese encephalitis (JE) is one of the leading causes of AES affecting children and adolescents in the tropical countries. Objective of the study were to study the outcome of children with AES. The study was conducted in the department of pediatrics, Gauhati medical college and hospital, Guwahati from 1st July 2016 to 30th June 2017.Methods: Patients admitted in the pediatrics department of Gauhati medical college and hospital, Guwahati with diagnosis of AES during the study period were taken into account based on inclusion and exclusion criteria.Results: It has been observed that age, awareness among caregivers, poor GCS, multiple seizures, shock are important factors in the outcome of AES.Conclusions: From the present study, prognosis of the cases may be predicted and measures taken to improve outcome
Measuring temperature in children, conveniently and accurately: a comparative study on different modalities of thermometry
Authors: Jagatha Maha Lakshmi , Tamilarasan Preethi , Krishnamurthy Kuppusamy
Published: October 2021

Background: Fever is one of the most common complaints in children in day-to-day practice. The pattern and grade of fever provide some evidence in determining the etiology of fever. Equally important is the identification and documentation of hypothermia in neonates. Hence there is need for an accurate thermometry mode, which should also be convenient to use in children.Methods: This was a cross-sectional observation study on all the neonates and children satisfying the inclusion criteria. Infrared forehead thermometer and digital axillary thermometer were used to record temperature and compared with Infrared tympanic temperature which was taken as gold standard.Results: A total of 240 neonates and children were evaluated. Strong positive correlation was observed between Means of Forehead Thermometer (FT) and Ear Thermometer (ET) with correlation coefficient of 0.777 and p value <0.001. Similar correlation was also observed with Axillary Temperature (AT) with correlation coefficient of 0.944 and p<0.001.Conclusions: Non-contact Infrared thermometer may be used in neonates and children without causing discomfort. It gives instant and comparable readings which are especially significant in the current coronavirus disease (COVID) pandemic setting.

Published: October 2021

Background: In Iran, there is a high tendency to give birth by cesarean section, while about 75% of them are unnecessary and selective. In many hospitals in the country, mothers who have undergone cesarean section are permission 24 hours after the operation if they have stable vital signs and are in good general condition. The aim of this study was to evaluate the consequences of early discharge in mothers who underwent cesarean section.Methods: This descriptive case-series study was performed on 400 pregnant women aged 18-40 years with a gestational age of 37 weeks and more who were admitted to the hospital in Ardabil city for cesarean section at year 2019. Patients without any preference were divided into two groups. The first group was discharged 24 hours and second group was discharged 72 hours after surgery. Individuals in both groups were followed up by telephone 1 and 6 weeks after permission. The relevant checklist was completed for all of them. Other necessary data were collected through a questionnaire containing demographic and clinical information.Results: Two groups were matched in terms of age and body mass index. At one and six weeks after discharge; there was no significant difference between two groups in terms of fever, readmission, symptoms of infection and use of antibiotics.Conclusions: The results of the present study showed that after cesarean section, if the patient's vital signs are stable, the patient can be discharged after 24 hours.

Published: October 2021

Background: Hemophagocytic lympho-histiocytosis (HLH) is fatal condition characterised by aggressive immune activation, dysregulation and up regulation of inflammatory cytokines leading to uncontrolled activation of T-cells, defective granule mediated cytotoxicity. HLH is classified into primary and secondary HLH.Methods: This is retrospective study of case-records of children who fulfilled criteria of HLH-2004 guidelines from November 2016 to November 2020.Results: Total number of patients with HLH was 33, excluding 4 cases of primary HLH, 29 cases met the inclusion criteria. 19 (65.5%) were children less than 5 years of age at the time of diagnosis. Six (20.7%) children were between 6 to 10 years and the rest 4 (13.8%) ten years. Average age at presentation was 4.93 years. Male to female ratio was 0.8 to 1. Fever was the chief complaint present in 29 (100%) of cases. Laboratory parameters showed anaemia, thrombocytopenia, hyper-ferritinemia and hypertriglyceridemia in all 29 (100%) cases. CRP elevated in 28 (96.6%) cases. Infections found in 29 (100%) of cases, bacteria in 19 (65.5%), viral in 10 (34.5%). Mortality seen in 11 (37.9%) cases. Average time of diagnosis from admission was 5.6 days. 4 children out of 11 had dengue as cause for secondary HLH and 4 had bacterial sepsis one each CMV, scrub typhus and SLE. Following factors affected the outcome by multivariate analysis, coagulopathy, elevated liver enzymes, bone marrow biopsy and immunosuppressive therapy.Conclusions: HLH should be considered in differential diagnosis of children with sepsis.  High index of suspicion for HLH with early initiation of treatment should be considered for better outcome.
Aplasia cutis congenita in a newborn
Authors: Madipelli Sheela
Published: October 2021

Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is a localized congenital absence of skin with a reported incidence of 3 per 10000 live births. Most common location is the scalp. The diagnosis is made clinically. The management of the lesion depends on the size and most of them are managed conservatively but larger lesions need surgical closure. Although aplasia cutis congenita is rare, it is very important for the general pediatrician to recognize this and consider it in the differential diagnosis of skin lesions specially the lesions on the scalp. We present a newborn infant with scalp lesion which was clinically diagnosed as aplasia cutis congenita and was managed conservatively.

Published: October 2021

In the next decades, the evolution of the power sector in the region will be based on a combination of large-scale and centralized power plants, distributed generation, and even isolated microgrids. Storage technologies will be crucial to enable the management of the intrinsic variability of some renewable generation (wind and solar), particularly in scenarios where there is a need to reduce fossil fuels used for base generation. Pumped Storage Hydropower (PSH) technologies are an attractive alternative, given the regions hydropower potential, existing installed capacity, and technical knowledge. This paper explores the policy and market framework in LAC for this technology.
Margen norte costa afuera de Venezuela: sísmica marina de alta resolución entre Golfo Triste y Cabo Codera
Authors: Colón-Useche Sirel , Audemard M. Franck A. , Beck Christian , Padrón Crelia , De Batist Marc
Published: October 2021

La plataforma continental del centro-norte de Venezuela está controlada estructuralmente por fallas activas transcurrentes dextrales, principalmente por la falla de San Sebastián (FSS) ésta con una extensión de unos 300 km aproximadamente, forma parte del límite sur de la interacción de las Placas Caribe y Suramérica, y tiene su trazado sumergido en casi su totalidad. Todo este contexto ha modelado la plataforma donde se pueden describir tres provincias fisiográficas principalmente, de oeste a este: la plataforma del Golfo Triste, la cuenca de Choroní y la plataforma de La Guaira. Las dos plataformas mencionadas son de tipo erosivo; la cuenca de Choroní es una depresión profunda, que es incisa por cañones submarinos que siguen un trazo aparente de deformaciones secundarias de FSS. Nuestra investigación está enfocada en la cobertura sedimentaria correspondiente al Pleistoceno tardío-Holoceno a través de perfiles sísmicos marinos de alta resolución adquiridos gracias a la cooperación de varias instituciones (FUNVISIS, con las Universidades de Grenoble-Alpes (UGA) Francia, Gante Bélgica y UDO Venezuela). A través del análisis de estos perfiles se pudo afinar y mapear el trazado de la falla de San Sebastián desde Cabo Codera al este (~66˚O), hasta Golfo Triste (~68˚ O), de la falla de La Tortuga (~65.5˚ O) e identificar fallas y deformaciones secundarias. En cuanto a la Sismoestratigrafía, se han identificado 6 unidades regionales y 2 discordancias erosivas fundamentales, correspondientes con el MIS 2 (último máximo glacial ~20 ka) y el MIS 6 (~130 ka) en toda el área de estudio. Sobre estas discordancias, en la plataforma de la Guaira se estimaron los valores de subsidencia obteniéndose ~1.2 mm.año-1. Se encontró que, en la plataforma de la Guaira, se nota la deformación de los sedimentos cortados directamente por la traza de la FSS. En contraste, en la cuenca de Choroní en el oeste, se observó una zona de deformación intensa, sin una traza clara definida como en la plataforma de la Guaira, con la presencia de dos o más posibles zonas de falla deformando los depósitos sedimentarios cuaternarios.
Análisis de sismos interplaca, Pacifíco central de Costa Rica: los sismos de Esterillos (13 de noviembre de 2017) y Herradura (24 de agosto de 2020)
Authors: Quintero-Quintero Ronni , Campos-Durán Daniela , Porras-Espinoza Hernán , Segura-Torres Juan
Published: October 2021

Se analizan dos sismos fuertes que ocurrieron el 13 de noviembre del 2017, 02:28:20 (sismo Esterillos) y el 24 de agosto 2020 a las 21:51:08 (sismo de Herradura) en el Pacífico Central de Costa Rica. El sismo de Herradura se ubicó con latitud 9.501° N, longitud 84.665° W, con centroide a 25 km de profundidad, Mw 5.9 y +1.3 segundos después del tiempo de origen. Este evento se asocia con una falla inversa con dirección noroeste (311°), buzando al noreste en un ángulo bajo de 20° y con un ángulo de deslizamiento de 98°. El sismo fue reportado sentido desde muy fuerte a fuerte y mantiene estrecha relación con las aceleraciones pico (PGA) registradas instrumentalmente; con las que se determinó que la máxima intensidad en la escala de Mercalli Modificada (MMI) fue de VI, correspondiendo a 12%g. El sismo de Esterillos de 2017 se localizó a 14 km al sureste del sismo de Herradura, con centroide a 21 km de profundidad, Mw 6.4. El plano de falla que originó el sismo se orienta en dirección 289°, buzando 17° al noreste y ángulo de deslizamiento de 85°, con distribución de deslizamientos máximos de 0.6 m, alrededor del centroide y con radio de ~8 km. Estos sismos se ubican en la interfaz sismogénica de las placas de Coco y Caribe (CO-CA) y la mayoría de las réplicas se registraron en los primeros 25 km de profundidad y con epicentros entre la costa y la trinchera mesoamericana (TMA). Después de ocurrido el sismo de Esterillos, se localizaron sismos corticales en la placa continental y cercanos a la zona epicentral; la deformación transtensional en esta zona se confirma por medio de mecanismos focales obtenidos para algunos de estos sismos y que puede ser indicio de la subducción de montes submarinos en el área.
Levantamiento orogénico alrededor del bloque Soapaga, Cordillera Oriental de Colombia: Inferencias de modelado termocinemático, geomorfología y sismicidad
Authors: Meléndez Granados Hilda Lucia , Bermúdez Mauricio A. , García-Delgado Helbert , Fonseca Héctor , Marín-Cerón María Isabel
Published: October 2021

El estudio de la historia de exhumación y levantamiento superficial de regiones montañosas son claves para comprender mejor los procesos de inversión tectónica. En esta contribución, se analiza la historia de exhumación del sector central de la Cordillera Oriental colombiana; esta región incluye las fallas inversas activas de Boyacá y Soapaga y otras fallas menores. Con el propósito antes mencionado, datos termocronológicos existentes fueron empleados para la realización de modelos termocinemáticos inversos 3D, siendo así posible comparar edades predichas versus observadas y estimar tasas de exhumación de los bloquess tectónicos estudiados. Los resultados sugieren un patrón de exhumación asíncrono. De acuerdo con el modelo, el área entre las fallas de Boyacá y Soapaga, conocido como Macizo de Floresta, experimenta dos pulsos de exhumación a partir de 69.1 y 15.7 Ma con tasas de exhumación de 0.91 y 0.16 km/Ma, respectivamente. En contraste, en el bloque de la falla de Soapaga, un episodio de exhumación de 22.7 Ma fue discriminado a una tasa de 0.49 km/Ma. Este último sector coincidió con una importante deformación sísmica acumulada durante los últimos 5 Ma. Para el bloque colgante de la falla de Soapaga, el estudio de las relaciones magnitud-frecuencia de sismos permitió obtener un valor sísmico b de 0,55 ± 0,01, lo que concuerda con los mecanismos asociados a la tectónica transpresional. Sin embargo, el modelo termocinemático sugiere un rejuvenecimiento de la superficie entre 6 y 9 Ma en el bloque colgante situado al este de la Falla Soapaga. Con el propósito de analizar qué factores podrían generar ese rejuvenecimiento del relieve, se incorporaron al estudio otras variables como: datos de precipitación, índices de empinamiento o ksn, integral hipsométrica y relieve. Se encontraron importantes correlaciones entre el relieve y la deformación sísmica, y el relieve y el levantamiento sísmico, justo en la zona de mayor exhumación, lo que sugiere que las fuerzas tectónicas ejercen un mayor control sobre el relieve tanto a corto como a largo plazo. Además, se identificó una región sísmica muy activa para la zona de estudio que no había sido discriminada.
Pandemic Effects: Ableism, Exclusion, and Procedural Bias
Authors: Underwood Kathryn , Van Rhijn Tricia , Balter Alice-Simone , Feltham Laura , Douglas Patty , Parekh Gillian , Lawrence Breanna
Published: October 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed social organizations and altered children’s worlds. As part of an ongoing longitudinal study of the institutional organization of disabled children’s lives, since March 2020 we have conducted interviews with families in rural and urban communities across Canada (65 families at the time of writing). The narrow focus of governments on the economy, childcare, and schooling does not reflect the scope of experiences of families and disabled children. We describe emerging findings about what the effects of the pandemic closures demonstrate about the social valuing of childhood, disability, and diverse family lives in early childhood education and care. Our research makes the case that ableism, exclusion, and procedural bias are the products of cumulative experiences across institutional sites and that it is critical we understand disabled childhoods more broadly if we are to return to more inclusive early childhood education and care.

International capital flows have a significant role for growth and development of recipient countries by providing necessary capital, resources and technology. One aspect of such international investment is Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) which has become an important source of external finance since they are considered as more stable and prominent source of capital inflows. The present study has been conducted to evaluate long-run and short-run impact of FDI on economic growth of India. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has been considered as indicator of economic growth for this study. The empirical analysis has been conducted using Autoregressive Distributed Lag Approach (ARDL) of Cointegration. The period of study was 1991-92 to 2018-19. The findings of the study indicate presence of long-run relationship between FDI and economic growth of India. The study concludes that Foreign Direct Investment helps to enhance economic growth of India.

In keeping with the New Public Management dispensation, state corporations in Kenya have taken up strategic planning with a view to effect reforms for improved service delivery. New Public Management particularly advances a customer-centric approach to public administration for improved service delivery, with the public, who are the recipients of public service, as key stakeholders in public administration. Despite this, service delivery in the Agribusiness sub-sector in the country is riddled with inadequacies highlighted by among other complaints, unpaid produce supplies, dwindling finances, slumped agricultural extension services and low produce prices. Against this backdrop, the study set out to establish the effect of strategic planning on service delivery and assess how stakeholder involvement influences the relationship between strategic planning and service delivery among agribusiness state corporations in Kenya. Grounded on the New Public Management and Stakeholder theories, the study adopted the positivism paradigm and the descriptive cross-sectional research design. Targeting 73 state corporations pertinent to agribusiness in the country, primary data was collected by use of a structured questionnaire with institutional heads as the units of observation. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were then employed in data analysis. It was established that strategic planning has a significant positive influence on service delivery. Stakeholder involvement was however found to not have a significant moderating effect on the relationship between strategic planning and service delivery. This was attributed to the technocratic approach in the formulation of the strategic plans among state corporations and the numerically limited nature of most stakeholders in state corporations represented in the boards of directors. Following a significant direct effect of stakeholder involvement on service delivery among Agribusiness state corporations in the country, state corporations are implored to involve stakeholders in strategic planning and observe meaningful participation, communication and dispute resolution in the engagement.

Published: October 2021

The efficiency of asset management for various reasons has been the focus for companies, Managers and investors doing construction businesses. The main objective of this research is to ascertain the effect of asset management practices on operational performance within Horizon Construction Ltd. To accomplish the main objective, three specific objectives were formulated. These include; to analyze the effect of standards compliance operational performance within Horizon Construction Ltd; to examine the effect of assets maintenance on operational performance within Horizon Construction Ltd and to assess the effect of budget allocation of funds on operational performance within Horizon Construction Ltd. The related theories including the resource based theory and the contingency theory, were used and analyzed. The population of the research are 200 participants and sample size is 66 respondents. The research tools for data collection are questionnaire, interview and documentation. The findings indicated that each unit of compliance with standards do not significantly influence each unit of operational performance in Horizon Construction Ltd. There is increase in each unit of operational performance when the unit of budget allocation of funds increases at 55.7% in Horizon Construction Ltd. There is an increase in each unit of operation performance when the unit of assets maintenance increases at 30.7% in Horizon Construction Ltd. Budget allocation of funds affects operational performance more than assets maintenance in the same perspective compliance with standards in asset management is on the third priority to affect operational performance in Horizon Construction Ltd. The results indicated that there is a positive auto-correlation between asset management (assets maintenance, compliance with standards, budget allocation of funds) and operational performance in Horizon Construction Ltd. This means that asset management can be associated with operational performance in Horizon Construction Ltd. There is a positive strong correlation between asset management and operational performance (R=0.993). The study concludes also that asset management (compliance with standards; assets maintenance and budget allocation of funds) had positive and significant effect cost efficiency in Horizon Construction Ltd. This means that as much as asset management is taught to the employees, there was an improvement on operational performance that will results in cost effective use of resources in Horizon Construction Ltd. This indicates that once employees are integrated in asset management system they will have accountability that will contribute to operational performance toward the achievement of the set goals within horizon construction Ltd.
Synthesis and Evaluation of Al2O3_Mg/AA6061 Aluminium Foam Composite via Compaction and Sintering
Authors: Singh Devendra , Mayank Agarwal
Published: October 2021

In this paper compressive behaviour of an Aluminium foam composite have been evaluated and discussed. The outcome reflects that quasi static stress –strain curve of Al composite was same as to Al foams. However, within the two strain ranges from strain less than 0.03 and strain greater than 0.2, the ideal absorption energy of the composites was higher than that of parent Al foams. When the strain ranged from 0.03 to 0.2 the ideal energy absorption efficiency value of the composite was lower than the Al foams.

There are many methods for fabricating metal foams but we preferred powder metallurgy process. This process of production allows for the production of complex shaped foam parts. Many alloys including Aluminium, zinc, tin, lead and steel can be produced using this method. The fabricated part has a closed cell microstructure and a high fraction of porosity. Mechanical properties foams are evaluated including the axial crushing, Hardness and toughness test are also carried out. Applications are such as light weight construction and energy absorption for civilians as well as military uses.
Etudes for Solo trumpet of T. Dokschitzer: aspects of artistic and instructive stylistics
Authors: Mikhail Ilienko
Published: October 2021

The article is devoted to the consideration of aspects of artistic and instructive stylistics in etudes for the Solo trumpet by T. Dokschitzer’s “Romantic Pictures”. Features of the author’s attitude to the genre of etude are highlighted. For the first time, the characteristic of all 20 etudes of the collection was proposed, in which the cycle features can be seen. This is reflected in the presence of several genre groups of etudes, combined on the basis of the types of “programity” and the relevant articulation means.

A characteristic feature of all the etudes of the collection is the subordination of technical tasks to artistic purposes, which allows to determine the proposed by T. Dokschitzer type of etude for the trumpet as a musical miniature. As for performance, the etudes of the collection are designed for sufficiently trained trumpeters, but allow the choice of plays by the degree of their difficulty. There are also combinations of several etudes, which presupposes not only educational, but also concert use.

Keywords: etude genre, etude for trumpet, T. Dokschitzer, “Romantic Pictures” by T. Dokschitzer, etudes by T. Dokschitzer as artistic and instructive plays-miniatures.
Naturalized American Citizens and the Presidency - Why Immigrants should be allowed to run for the American Presidency?
Authors: Jawahrani Luv
Published: October 2021

The United States of America is undoubtedly the world's most powerful economic and military powerhouse. This position enables political leaders in the United States to have a profound and decisive impact on world affairs as well as domestic affairs – as a result of the presidential system in the United States, the person elected is responsible for the fates of hundreds of millions of their fellow citizens based on their leadership abilities, personality, and determination. On the other hand, the position of President may only be held by a single person for a maximum of two four-year terms and only by a person who was born in the country, according to the United States Constitution. This prevents a significant number of people, particularly first-generation naturalized immigrants, from gaining access to the highest levels of government. Intimately connected to the ideals of democracy, which are regarded as one of the defining characteristics of the American country, are the American people. Therefore, the validity of that specific constitutional record has been questioned for many years since it severely restricts the rights of certain citizens.

Authors: Cheng Manqing
Published: October 2021

Climate change is a major social, economic and environmental challenge facing all countries in the world today. It has increasingly become a priority on the agenda of international relations. This article outlines major developments in international climate action during and after the pandemic. The article identifies the global trends of carbon action on the countries’ agendas for sustainable development in the near future, including accelerate the implementation of mature zero-carbon solutions and promote zero-carbon technology. It then presents risks in tackling the global climate crisis collectively confronted by the international community at present, such as economic slowdown, energy security, carbon financing, price inflation, carbon barrier, carbon trading and carbon debt. With these common dilemmas in mind, the article sums up by proposing multiple possible directions towards reducing emissions and putting forward some community strategies for New Zealand to implement. These include promote the electrification of transportation and establish green infrastructure, consumption, financial, technology and industrial systems. This article aims to inform on the debate about current challenges in building a sustainable and resilient carbon-neutral state in the wake of global public crisis by analyzing global developing trends in addressing climate change, as well as to provoke thinking on potential options for government to enable net zero carbon and new energy future.

Background: In recent years, non-specific neck pain has become a frequent complaint due to poor head postures. It is characterized by Myofascial Trigger Points (MTrPs) in palpable taut bands of skeletal muscle that refer pain to a distance, and that can cause distant motor and autonomic effects.

Objective. The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of active and latent MTrPs in subjects suffering from non-specific neck pain in two hospitals, Sri Lanka.

Method: This cross- sectional descriptive study was carried out among 31 patients with non-specific neck pain, presented to the department of physiotherapy, Teaching Hospital Peradeniya and National Hospital, Kandy, Sri Lanka. Participants were referred by a physician for non-specific neck pain and MTrPs were determined by a physiotherapist. MTrPs diagnosis criteria were the presence of a palpable taut band in a skeletal muscle; presence of a hyper-sensible tender spot in the taut band; local twitch response; reproduction of the referred pain pattern in response to compression; and spontaneous presence of the typical referred pain pattern and/or patient recognition.

Results. The prevalence of MTrPs among patients with non-specific neck pain was 100%. Each of the 31 patients exhibited at least two MTrPs in the analyzed muscles. The mean number of MTrPs on each patient was 4.71± 2.036. MTrPs of the upper trapezius muscles were the most prevalent, in 96.8% of the participants. MTrPs in the suboccipital muscles, sternocleidomastoid, levator scapulae reached a prevalence of 58.1%, 45.2%, 35.5% respectively. 76.74% of total number of MTrPs in all analyzed muscles were active MTrPs.

Conclusions. MTrP is a common source of pain in subjects presenting non-specific neck pain. Our study determined the presence of both active and latent MTrPs in this population with a higher prevalence of active MTrPs compared to latent MTrPs in all individual muscles.
