Authors: Rocha-dos-Santos Welington José , Leite Wellington Cyro de Almeida , Schalch Valdir
Published: December 2022

RESUMO Embora a taxa de cobertura do serviço regular de coleta da população urbana brasileira fosse de 98,7% em 2020, 17,2 milhões de toneladas de resíduos sólidos foram dispostos inadequadamente e 6,3 milhões de toneladas abandonadas no meio ambiente. Assim, urge a proposição de trabalhos para a adequação da gestão do manejo de resíduos sólidos, com respeito às questões ambientais, sociais e de governança, diante da necessidade de investimentos cada vez maiores. Nesse sentido, o objetivo aqui foi apresentar a aplicação prática do método activity-based costing (ABC) para a sustentabilidade econômico-financeira da prestação de serviços públicos de resíduos sólidos. A natureza deste trabalho é de pesquisa aplicada, e os métodos de procedimento de pesquisa são levantamentos em fontes secundárias e estudo de caso único, com a realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas e observação direta. Verificou-se que o sistema ABC permitiu quantificar as atividades, utilizando direcionadores para alocar os custos indiretos de forma mais próxima à realidade e, assim, apurar a contribuição de cada serviço para o resultado com maior grau de acurácia. Apesar disso, o resultado econômico negativo, que evoluiu de -1,8 para -6,6 milhões de reais em três anos, evidencia que a sustentabilidade da prestação dos serviços de resíduos sólidos ainda é um objetivo a ser perseguido. Concluiu-se que a aplicação dessa metodologia foi decisiva para avaliar a sustentabilidade econômico-financeira da autarquia, possibilitando não só conhecer os reais resultados unitários de cada serviço, como também vislumbrar alternativas que pudessem levar o prestador a um melhor resultado total.

Abstract The objective of this work was to estimate genetic and phenotypic parameters of black bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) lines for reaction to fusarium wilt (RFW), yield, and 100-seed weight (100SW) under conditions of a field naturally infested by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. phaseoli, as well as to select lines that combine the desirable phenotypes for the three traits simultaneously. For this, 116 lines obtained from two segregating populations and five check cultivars were evaluated using an 11×11 triple lattice experimental design, in the winter crop seasons of 2015 and 2016, with sowing in May. The obtained heritability estimates were high: 91, 75, and 92% for RFW, yield, and 100SW, respectively. Significant genetic correlations of -0.93 were detected between RFW and yield and of -0.28 between RFW and 100SW, indicating that more resistant lines have a higher yield and a larger grain size. Direct selection for each trait led to increases of 34% in resistance to FW, 11% in yield, and 9.0% in 100SW. Simultaneous selection for the three traits led to high gains of 22.1% for RFW, 6.6% for yield, and 7.7% for 100SW. Therefore, there is genetic variability and a high possibility of success from selection. Five lines – CNFP 19237, CNFP 19346, CNFP 19320, CNFP 19291, and CNFP 19306 – show a higher genetic potential.

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of seed rate, genetics, and environmental conditions on the remobilization of stored material from vegetative organs, as well as the contribution of this material to barley (Hordeum vulgare) grain yield. The experiment was carried out in a factorial randomized complete block design with four replicates, in the city of Gonbad Kavous, Iran, in 2016–2017 and 2017–2018 crop seasons. Two factors were evaluated: four seed rates (200, 300, 400, and 500 seed per square meters) and four barley genotypes ('Fardan', 'Khorram', 'Mahoor', and 'Sahra'). Material remobilization with an increasing seed rate per square meter contributed to barley grain yield, especially in the first year, when rainfall was lower. The highest and lowest contribution of remobilization to barley grain yield are related to the penultimate leaf and the flag leaf, respectively. In both years, 'Khorram' and 'Mahoor' genotypes show the highest and the lowest rates for reduction in grain yield, respectively, due to the increased seed rate per square meter.

Published: December 2022

Abstract Despite the indisputable advances in education over the last decades, school failure and early school-leaving indicators in Portugal remain somewhat high, particularly when compared with those of other European Union countries. Once identified, the need to understand this problem have given rise to a number of research studies ranging from factors mostly related to development: students’ motivations and aspirations, families’ socioeconomic and cultural conditions, school organisational aspects and teaching staff quality, which focus less on variables more related to territory. Assuming, conceptually, school failure as a multidetermined phenomenon, yet directly relating it to the geographical space in which schools are located and students live, this study seeks to identify and explain some territory-related variables, viewed in this study from an innovative and dynamic perspective, in an attempt to characterize its identity by a coordinated and cross-cutting series of indicators. This study was developed within the Coimbra Region Intermunicipal Community, in Portugal, and involved a robust statistical analysis relating primary students’ performance (10-year olds) in national exams with territorial characteristics. Thus, it points to the mutual influence of these dimensions and suggests the need for a grass-roots debate, reinforcing actions to prevent and combat school failure and early school leaving.

Multilevel Venue Shopping Amid Democratic Backsliding in New European Union Member States
Authors: Labanino Rafael , Dobbins Michael
Published: December 2022

Recently, various Central and Eastern European countries have experienced a regression of democratic quality, often resulting in the emergence of competitive (semi‐)authoritarian regimes with an illiberal governing ideology. This has often been accompanied by a closing political space for civil society groups. Based on a survey of more than 400 Polish, Hungarian, Czech, and Slovenian interest organizations, we explore, in the context of backsliding, the conditions under which organized interests shift their lobbying activities to alternative, i.e., EU or regional levels. Our statistical analyses indicate that it is rather exclusive policy‐making in general than a lack of individual group access to domestic policy networks that motivate organizations to engage in multilevel lobbying. However, it appears that organizational self‐empowerment and inter‐group cooperation are the “name of the game.” Even under the adverse conditions of democratic backsliding, organizations that are accumulating expertise, professionalizing their operations, and cooperating with other organizations not only can sustain access to (illiberal) national governments but also branch out their operations to the European and regional levels.

Published: December 2022

Introduction. papillary thyroid cancer is increasingly being detected at early stages when regional and distant metastases are absent per clinical examination. However, lymph nodes of the central zone can carry hidden metastases. frequency of such metastases is 22.3–46.7 %. maximally accurate identification of hidden metastases after lymph node dissection remains an important problem.

Aim. тo evaluate the effect of histological examination characteristics and immunohistochemical measurement of pancytokeratin level on frequency of detection of papillary cancer hidden metastases in regional lymph nodes of the central zone in patients with clinical stage N0 papillary cancer.

Materials and methods. The main group included 50 patients with stage ст1–2N0М0 primary papillary thyroid cancer. Dissected central lymph nodes of the patients prior to formalin fixation were extracted from the sample and inserted in individual paraffin blocks. Apart from standard histological examination, pancytokeratin level was measured immunohistochemically in the lymph nodes. The control group consisted of 200 patients for whom dissected central cell tissue was sectioned into blocks after formalin fixation. The number of lymph nodes in the dissected sample was measured by a pathomorphologist.

Results. In the main group, the number of lymph nodes in the sample varied between 6 and 37 with mean of 20.7 ± 6.8; in the control group the number was lower: 3–25, mean 9.8 ± 5.1 (р = 0.000). In the main group, hidden metastases were detected more frequently than in the control group: in 30 (60 %) and 68 (34 %) cases, respectively (р = 0.001). In 20 (40 %) patients, immunohistochemical examination showed new metastases. use of this method allowed to detect 1 to 7 additional metastases (mean 2.4 ± 1.5 lymph node lesions).

Conclusion. use of targeted dissection with extraction of lymph nodes led to significant increase in their numbers in the samples, and immunohistochemical examination allowed to detect a large number of hidden metastases in the central lymph nodes.

Introduction. Treatment with the initial stage of the disease causes a high need for the use of organ-preserving treatment methods, which are actively developing and improving. One of the modern and promising methods is endolaryngeal resection of the larynx.

Aim. To evaluate oncological effectiveness and functional results of endolaryngeal laser resections in cancers of the voice box.

Materials and methods. The study included 139 patients with squamous-cell carcinoma of the voice box between the ages of 26 and 81 years who received treatment at the Department of Head and Neck Oncology of the federal medicalBiological Agency of the Russian federation between 2015 and 2020. All patients underwent standard examination to diagnose oncological diseases and were diagnosed in accordance with the Tumor, Node and metastasis (TNm) international system. In 90 (64.7 %) of 139 patients, squamous-cell laryngeal cancer T1N0m0 was diagnosed, in 49 (35.3 %) patients – T2N0m0. All patients underwent surgical treatment in the form of endolaryngeal laser resection according to the plan developed during an oncological council.

Results. After endolaryngeal laser resections, 3-year recurrence-free survival for cancer of the voice box, stages т1 and т2, was 92 and 84.2 % respectively. Temporary disruption of separating function of the larynx in patients with stage T2N0m0 was observed in 6.1 % cases, decreased vocal function in 100 % of cases, granuloma formation in the postoperative period in 19.4 % of cases, formation of a scar narrowing the laryngeal lumen in 4.3 % of cases.

Conclusion. High 3-year recurrence-free survival as well as small percentage of postoperative complications and severe functional abnormalities show high effectiveness of endolaryngeal laser resections in treatment of cancer of the voice box and recommend this technique for active use in daily practice of head and neck tumor specialists.

Published: December 2022

Cortical representations of muscles can be probed non‑invasively using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) motor mapping. TMS mapping can be applied both in research and clinical settings to assess motor cortex reorganization under the influence of various factors, to clarify pathophysiological mechanisms of motor system damage in various diseases, and to develop novel biomarkers of this damage. The article discusses the main methodological aspects of TMS motor mapping: choosing stimulation intensity and interstimulus interval, using of grid, neuronavigation and robotic systems, determining of a target muscle, etc. Special attention is paid to the cortical motor representation parameters such as the “hot spot” and center of gravity localization, area, etc. and their reproducibility under various mapping protocols. A review of publications on the use of TMS motor mapping application in brain tumors, stroke and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is presented. The most significant practical impact of TMS motor mapping of the cortex is seen in brain tumors when used for presurgical localization of eloquent motor areas, as it is associated with the improvement of functional outcomes and progression‑free survival.

Differential diagnosis of inflammatory myopathies with hereditary muscular dystrophies accompanied by a secondary inflammatory process is a time‑consuming clinical and pathomorphological task. In particular, false diagnosis of polymyositis in patients with dysferlinopathy reaches 25 % of cases.A 40‑year‑old female patient with a limb‑girdle phenotype of dysferlinopathy, initially diagnosed as polymyositis, is presented. The reasons that led to the erroneous diagnosis were: sporadic case; subacute onset; proximal muscle weakness; myalgia, which stopped on the glucocorticosteroid therapy; high levels of creatine phosphokinase (up to 17 times); the presence of lymphocytic‑macrophage infiltrate in the muscle biopsy and the absence of magnetic resonance imaging data in primary examination of the patient.The refractoriness of clinical and laboratory signs to complex immunosuppressive therapy was the reason for revising the muscle biopsy with typing of the inflammatory infiltrate. The predominantly unexpressed perivascular infiltrate was characterized by the predominance of macrophages and, to a lesser extent, CD4+, which indicated the secondary nature of the inflammation in the muscle observed in some hereditary muscular dystrophies. When conducting an immunohistochemical reaction, the absence of the dysferlin protein in the sarcoplasmic membrane was revealed.Whole‑exome sequencing (NGS) revealed a mutation in exon 39 of the DYSF gene (p.Gln1428Ter) in the heterozygous state, which leads to the appearance of a stop codon and premature termination of protein translation. MLPA method registered 3 copies of exons 18, 19, 20, 22, 24 of the DYSF gene.Thus, this clinical example reflects the main methodological errors and possible effects of immunosuppressive therapy in patients with dysferlinopathy.

Published: December 2022

Agricultural management is significant in a populous country like India. Farmers must have advance knowledge about predicted crop production and crop condition within particular area to make economic and farming decisions. To generate yield, we consider factors like temperature, humidity, pressure, NDVI values, Latitude, Longitude etc. When cultivating a particular crop on a specific type of soil, there are a number of factors to be considered. A crop recommender system considers soil properties such as N, P, and K, as well as other factors like rainfall, humidity, and pH levels, to choose the best crop for the farm. This paper presents a predictive algorithm that would estimate crop yield using deep neural networks with geographical data. A recommendation system was built using machine learning algorithm like Xgboost to recommend the suitable crop. A user interface named CROPUP has been developed to scale up crop productivity and efficiency using the proposed algorithms.

Published: December 2022

A wireless network is composed of several independent nodes or gadgets that communicate mutually through a wireless link. The most destructive challenge encountered in a wireless network is bandwidth allocation because it defines the amount the network will cost and how effectively it will function. The most cutting-edge network architecture in the present wireless communication system, cluster-based heterogeneous cloud radio access networks (HC-RANs), is what powers cloud computing in heterogeneous networks. In this research, we proposed an HC-RANs that may optimize energy consumption for wireless data transfer in the multi-hop device to device scenario. The proposed scheme offers bandwidth allocation in wireless environments where there are concerns about significant user mobility over the course of a given time. The above design, we used clustering with joint beam formation for the down link of heterogeneous cloud radio access network (HC-RAN), developed design to improved amount of FBS. Result outcomes helped in calculating Critical bandwidth usage (CBU).

Substantiation of a new approach to the criteria for assessing the radiation dose of patients during computed tomography
Authors: Matkevich Elena I. , Sinitsyn Valentin Е. , Ivanov Ivan V.
Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND: In accordance with the requirements of the IAEA basic safety standards and the International Commission on Radiation Protection, comparing the radiation dose for patients undergoing computed tomography (CT) in diagnostic and treatment clinics with national or international DRLs is important for controlling medical radiation doses. The search for ways to improve DRLs calculations determines the relevance of such studies.
AIM: To analyze the dependence of effective doses (EDs) in CT of different body parts on patients weight and to calculate the standard ED for the patient (70 and 80 kg).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: CT acquisition protocols in 209 patients were single phase (SP) CT, while 114 patients underwent multi-phase (MP) CT. ED was calculated according to the normalized coefficients for each body area. The values of standard ED was calculated by data approximation using linear function of ED relatively body weight for each type CT scanner and body area scanned.
RESULTS: The increase in ED following a CT examination was proportional to the body weight of patients. For SP and MP CT scans, the standard EDs were calculated according to all body areas. The mean ED, median ED, and DRLs (mSv) in these groups was slightly higher than standard ED (mSv) if the criterion was 70 kg and were close to standard ED if the criterion was 80 kg. These values give a basis for improving the guidelines concerning the recommended limits of radiation doses for CT in individual patients according to indications and body parts studied.
CONCLUSIONS: In the study, a methodology for assessing and comparing the dose of CT-radiation at two hospitals in the two CT scanners, considering weight of a standard patient, is described. Our results show that the calculation and analysis of the standard ED of CT-examining areas of the body instead of mean ED and median ED help to compare the radiation exposure in different medical facilities more properly. Given the recent sharp increase in the number of CT studies, not exceeding the standard ED for patients with CT will reduce the long-term consequences in the form of oncological pathology among the population.

The long-term efficacy of radiofrequency catheter ablation is highly dependent on the location and size of the lesions delivered via the ablation catheter. This is particularly the case for radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation, where contiguous, transmural lesions are required for durable pulmonary vein isolation. Therefore, reliable lesion quality markers that accurately relate to lesion size in the context of 3D mapping have been sought to improve the reliability of conduction block. Force–time integral, Ablation Index and Lesion Size Index are metrics currently used in clinical practice. Several studies have shown better clinical outcomes using these indices compared with using contact force alone or no marker at all. A theoretical limitation of these composite lesion indices is that they rely on input values such as contact force, application duration and power. A recent technology assessessing local tissue impedance (an output measure) has shown promising results. Temperature, another output measure, is not routinely used due to the significant impact of catheter irrigation on readings, but two recent catheter technologies have sought to overcome this obstacle. This paper provides an update on the current knowledge on these lesion quality markers.

Emotional security and family relationships of Spanish college students
Authors: López-Larrosa Silvia , Pardiño Noelia , Ha Anh P. , Cummings E. Mark
Published: December 2022

This study is grounded on Systems Theory and Emotional Security Theory, and aims at extending past work by examining relations among children’s emotional security in the family system and the quality of family relationships among college students, a population scarcely addressed by the Emotional Security Theory. Participants were 236 female and male students attending a public Spanish University (meanage = 20.13 years old). We used the Security in the Family System Scale (SIFS), the Family Stress Scale, the Family Satisfaction Scale, the Bidirectional Parent-Adolescent Relationships Scale (BiPAR), and measures of destructive and constructive interparental conflict. The variables “living with family” and “parental divorce” were also studied. Results showed that parental divorce related to higher family stress, less interparental conflict resolution and worse bidirectional relationships with fathers. There were not significant differences in any of the variables under analyses between students who lived with their families while at college compared to those who did not live with their families. Emotional security in the family explained 52% of the variance of family satisfaction. This study has theoretical implications as it applies Emotional Security Theory to study young adults from divorced and intact families and who either live or not with their families while attending college. Our results agree and support this Theory. It also has practical implications for mental health and counselling services pointing to potential risk and protective family variables in college students.

Published: December 2022

Heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LV EF) (HFrEF) is a significant issue of health care due to increasing indexes of morbidity and mortality. The emergence of a number of drugs and implantable devices for the treatment of HFrEF has allowed improvement of patients’ well-being and prognosis. However, high mortality and recurrent decompensated heart failure remain a substantial issue and stimulate the search for new methods of CHF treatment. Cardiac contractility modulation (CCM) is a method of managing patients with HFrEF. Available data from randomized clinical trials (RCT) indicate the efficacy of CCM in improvement of patients’ well-being and quality of life. The question remains open: what effect does CCM have on LV reverse remodeling? Experimental data and results of observational studies suggest a possibility of reverse remodeling by CCM; however, this has not been confirmed in RCT. Also, it remains unclear how CCM influences the frequency of hospitalizations for decompensated heart failure and the death rate of patients with HFrEF. Results of both RCTs and observational studies have shown a moderate improvement of quality of life associated with CCM. Furthermore, RCTs have not found any increase in LV EF due to the therapy, nor has a meta-analysis of RCTs revealed any improvement of the prognosis associated with CCM.  Further RCTs are needed to evaluate the effect of CCM on reverse remodeling, survival rate, and to determine the place of CCM in the treatment of patients with CHF.

Aim   To study the adipokine profile in young people with hypercholesterolemia and low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and to evaluate the relationship between concentrations of LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) and metabolic hormones in men and women younger than 45 years. Material and methods   This study included 304 subjects (group 1, 56 men with LDL-C concentration <2.1 mmol/l; group 2, 87 men with LDL-C concentration ≥4.2 mmol/l; group 3, 90 women with LDL-C concentration <2.1 mmol/l; and group 4, 71 women with LDL-C concentration ≥4.2 mmol/l). Serum concentrations of total cholesterol (C), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein C, and glucose were measured by an enzymatic assay with ThermoFisher Scientific kits and a KonelabPrime 30i biochemical analyzer. LDL-C was calculated using the Friedewald’s formula. Concentrations of amylin, C-peptide, ghrelin, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), glucagon, interleukin 6, insulin, leptin, monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1), pancreatic polypeptide (PP), peptide YY (PYY), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), adiponectin, adipsin, lipocalin-2, plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), and resistin were measured by multiplex analysis (Human Metabolic Hormone V3 and Human Adipokine Panel 1 panels).Results   The groups differed in traditional cardiometabolic risk factors. In the male and female patient groups with LDL-C ≥4.2 mmol/l, the prevalence of impaired fasting glucose, incidence of insulin resistance, TG, and TC were higher than in subjects with LDL-C <2.1 mmol/l. The odds for the presence of LDL hypercholesterolemia (LDL-C ≥4.2 mmol/l) were significantly associated with increased concentrations of C-peptide and lipocalin-2 in men and with increased concentrations of lipocalin-2 and decreased concentrations of GLP-1 in women (р<0.05).Conclusion   Increased concentrations of LDL-C in young people were associated with changes in the adipokine profile and with the presence of metabolic syndrome components. These results were confirmed by changes in blood concentrations of metabolic markers that characterize disorders of metabolic processes.

Background: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a serious condition characterized by an increase in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) that leads to right heart failure and death. The study aimed to compare the side effects of monotherapy and combination therapy in the treatment of pulmonary hypertensionMethods: This randomized control trial study was conducted at the department of pediatric cardiology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib medical university, national institute of cardiovascular disease, and national heart foundation, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The study duration was 1 year, from January 2018 to December 2018. During this period, a total of 70 participants were selected for the study following the inclusion, and exclusion criteria from those diagnosed case of pulmonary hypertension with congenital heart disease admitted to the pediatric cardiology department, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib medical university, NICVD, NHF.Result: Maximum patients had ventricular septal defects (VSD) (34.3% in group A, and 28.6% in group B). Followed by AVSD. 20.0% in group A and 25.7% in group B. Atrial septal defect (ASD) were 14.3% in group A, and 17.1% in group B. After three, and 6 months of follow-up SpO2 per exercise, 6MWD, SpO2 post-exercise, and alanine aminotransferase showed statistically significant differences between single and combined groups. There was no statistically significant difference regarding adverse effects between the 2 groups, but group B patients had slightly higher incidence of some side effects. PASP was significantly decreased in combined group than monotherapy group.Conclusions: This study concludes that combination therapy is more successful than monotherapy in PAH with coronary heart disease (CHD). Our findings demonstrate that combining Bosentan with oral Sildenafil medication in patients with CHD-related PAH is safe, and well tolerated at 3-, and 6-month follow-ups, resulting in a significant improvement in clinical status, effort SpO2, exercise tolerance, hemodynamics, and PASP.
Avaliação Institucional: processo descritivo, analítico ou reflexivo?

Published: December 2022

Este artigo discute, de modo crítico, o modelo amplamente utilizado na avaliação institucional como um survey que gera dados quantitativos, analisados em relação a padrões pré-estabelecidos. Ressalta, ainda, que os procedimentos, nessas avaliações institucionais, têm um caráter muitas vezes genérico, os quais limitam os objetivos da própria avaliação, por gerarem valores numéricos que nem sempre refletem a múltipla realidade das universidades. A partir de considerações metavaliativas, o trabalho procura colocar o problema em termos de uma ação que considera a universidade na sua totalidade sociocultural, educacional, ética e científica; dimensões que, no seu conjunto, muitas vezes são ignoradas. O artigo ressalta a necessidade de considerada a universidade na sua organicidade e, para atingir a essa finalidade, a sua avaliação deve considerar outros modelos, como os reflexivos-interpretativos e os reflexivos-participativos. Ao final, são feitas algumas colocações sobre a influência das dinâmicas sociais e dos contextos internos e externos em relação às universidades, que não são instituições endogênicas, e também é discutida a necessidade da formação de avaliadores especializados para essa área específica da avaliação institucional.

The article analyzes the system of educational institutions of the spiritual department, functioning in the post-reform period in the Yaroslavl province. The role of the diocesan school council in the development of Orthodox spiritual education in the Yaroslavl region is revealed. The changes that have taken place in the activities of the seminary, theological schools, the school for girls of the clergy, the diocesan Jonathan women’s school are given. The personal composition of the heads of the main educational institutions of the diocese is given. The main features of the spiritual education reforms are noted - attempts to introduce the principle of all-estate, a response to the challenges of the time, bringing curricula closer to the requirements of modern life. The socio-cultural activity of the Yaroslavl diocese in the modernization of spiritual education in the second half of the 19th century is shown.

Published: December 2022

The article raises the problem of ensuring the psychological health of the employee and the employer with the help of the tool of labor restrictions. Attention is drawn to the shortcomings of the Russian model of regulation of the labor law mechanism for the implementation of psychological restrictions in order to prevent mobbing, sexual harassment and other manifestations of moral persecution. Analyzing foreign legislation, as well as doctrine and judicial practice, the author offers a reception of the positive experience of French and Austrian labor legislation in order to improve the Russian model of labor relations regulation.

Published: December 2022

Although AISI 304 steel is widely used and its manufacturers provide resistance data in the quality certificate, these are not sufficient to characterize and predict the behavior of the sheets in the drawing and drawing processes. This is why the objective of this work was to analyze the formability of AISI 304 steel sheets with 16- (thickness 1.5 mm), 18- (1.2 mm), and 20- (0.9 mm) gauges used by the metalworking industry in Colombia by determining intrinsic properties related to the ability of the sheet to withstand stretching and drawing operations such as the strain hardening exponent n, the normal anisotropy rm, and the planar anisotropy Δr. The methodology consisted of analyzing the chemical composition, a metallographic study, and a series of tensile tests. The results show that the steel has a microstructure of twinned austenite grains of size between 15-30 mm. Regarding the mechanical resistance, it was observed that all the mean values of ultimate resistance, elastic limit, and elongation are above the minimum established in the standard. Furthermore, all of the tensile test results changed according to the variation of angles concerning the rolling direction (0°, 45°, and 90°), which indicates the anisotropic character of the sheet. The most relevant result allows us to infer that the 20-gauge sheet has better formability and therefore, better behavior against the stretching and drawing processes.

Nowadays, geopolymer plays a significant role in developing eco-friendly materials to avoid the pollution caused by the Portland cement industry. Geopolymer is a developed industrial by-product-based alternative concrete binder. The aim of this study to evaluate the effect of different proportions of Fly Ash (FA) and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) on the strength properties of geopolymer mortar. In this study, GGBFS was added as 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, and 100% of the total binder with NaOH concentrations 12 M and sodium silicate to sodium hydroxide ratio 2.5. The compressive strength was investigated experimentally in this study. The combination of FA and GGBFS were tested in a total of eleven geopolymer mix mortars, and the results show that combining the above constituents at 70℃ improves the compressive strength of geopolymer mortar. The result show that the mixture with 100% GGBFS replacement have maximum compressive strength (78.25 MPa) at 7-days age.

Published: December 2022

The practice of two-dimensional inversion of electrolog signals leads to the conclusion that the results obtained to a large extent depend on the set of devices. Russian geophysical companies mainly use lateral logging (measuring by a set of gradient sondes), focusing lateral logging, high-frequency electromagnetic sounding and low-frequency induction logging, including multi-sonde tool. The article considers the possibilities of determining the parameters of permeable formations by two-dimensional inversion of synthetic signals for these tools, on the example of a geoelectric model of the Lower Cretaceous deposits in Western Siberia. The model includes permeable formations with mud filtrate invasion zones. The different starting value of the invasion depth determines the accuracy of estimating the parameters of the invaded zone by inverting the data of various sets of sonde signals.

Published: December 2022

In the records of autonomous seismological observations occurrence of quartz watch clock drift often leads to incorrect time records. This paper presents a method for detecting such errors in a seismic station network based on the analysis of ambient seismic noise cross-correlation functions using Monte-Carlo Markov chain (MCMC) approach without using a reference signal. The proposed method was tested on the seismic data of a temporary seismic network installed on Paramushir Island in 2021-2022 for which time shifts were successfully estimated and corrections to the cross-correlation functions were made.
