Using climate risk and vulnerability assessments to prioritise Caribbean road investments
Authors: Biosca Amat Núria , Rojas Bonilla Luis , Parkinson Jonathan
Published: June 2022

Climate risk and vulnerability assessments were undertaken in the Caribbean for national ministries, with funding from the Caribbean Development Bank. The studies evaluated the impacts of climate-related natural hazards on road transport infrastructure and identified measures to strengthen resilience. Geographic information systems were used to map infrastructure assets and structural condition, and climate-related variables were then integrated to model current and future hazard scenarios. The data sets were analysed to identify hotspot areas of the road network where adaptation interventions were proposed and to prioritise climate-resilient investments. The assessment findings helped decision makers understand system resilience, adaptive capacity and how critical risk hotspot areas could be mitigated. Improved road infrastructure design and a more proactive approach to road and structure maintenance will help increase the resilience of the road networks by reducing vulnerability to hazards and minimising the impact of climate change.
A generalised Newmark method with displacement hardening for the prediction of seismically induced permanent deformations of diaphragm walls
Authors: Oliynyk Kateryna , Conti Riccardo , Viggiani Giulia , Tamagnini Claudio
Published: June 2022

This paper presents a generalised Newmark method (GNM) incorporating a displacement hardening mechanism for the prediction of permanent displacements accumulated by diaphragm walls during earthquakes. A key feature of the proposed approach is the adoption of an evolution law for the critical acceleration, which links its current value to the accumulated wall permanent displacements. This displacement hardening mechanism is based on a simplified relation between the average plastic shear deformations experienced by the passive zone of soil below dredge level and the mobilised soil friction angle. This relation is determined indirectly by the evolution of the passive earth-pressure coefficient with wall displacement/rotation, as obtained in quasi-static model wall experiments. The proposed approach has been validated by comparing its predictions with the experimental data obtained in centrifuge model tests of cantilevered and propped walls. In spite of the simplifying assumptions on which it is based, the GNM has demonstrated that it is capable of capturing the essential features of the retaining structures’ kinematics and provides realistic predictions of permanent wall displacements.
Sand deformation mechanisms and earth pressures mobilised with passive rigid retaining wall movements
Authors: Deng Chuhan , Haigh Stuart K.
Published: June 2022

A series of centrifuge tests was conducted to explore the deformation mechanisms and earth pressures mobilised in loose and dense sand for a complete set of passive movement modes of a rigid retaining wall: rotation about the top and base and translation. Sand deformations were measured by particle image velocimetry and earth pressures were observed by a Tekscan pressure mapping system. Simplified linkages between wall displacements, sand strains and earth pressures were built. Superposition of such results would allow designers to predict retaining wall behaviour in sand during the construction sequence as well as ultimate collapse in a mobilisable strength design procedure.
Why bad things happen to bad people: investigating evil in the Italian giallo
Authors: Bayman Louis David
Published: June 2022

This essay explores the idea of evil through its relationship to ideas of justice and representations of suffering. It does so to consider the particularity of the giallo genre both in relation to the wider detective and horror genres of which it is a hybrid, and to the development of Italian cinema in the post-war decades. In its delirious depictions of a hellish modernity the giallo overturns faith both in Catholic tradition and in reason. By rejecting a moral standpoint the giallo represents a historic turning point in Italian popular culture. While maintaining the imagery and symbolic reference points of a Catholic sensibility, gialli discard all interest in moral improvement to indulge instead their one primary purpose, enjoyment.

POLYMINERAL NODULES FROM THE SALT-MARL SEQUENCE OF THE SOLIKAMSK DEPRESSION
Authors: Bubnova M.V. , Сhaikovskiy I.I. , Chirkova E.P.
Published: June 2022

The mineral composition and structure of polymineral nodules, composed of chalcedony in the center, carbonates and sulfates along the periphery, are charac-terized. Their zoning, the presence of inclusions of miliolid shells, and the absence of encasing structures testify to their metasomatic nature. The evolutionary series of nodules (chalcedony - chalcedony-calcite - chalcedony-calcite-gypsum - chalcedo-ny-gypsum) has been reconstructed, reflecting the differentiation of substances ac-cording to their solubility. It has been suggested that the confinement of nodules to the upper part of the salt-marl strata reflects the change in the sedimentation basin of sulfate-calcium waters to bicarbonate-calcium and may mark the level of extinction of organisms that prefer high salinity
ABOUT THE CRYSTALLIZATION OF STIBNITE FROM THE AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS OF HYDROGEN SULPHIDE AND ABOUT THE COMPOSITION OF THESE SOLUTIONS
Authors: Avakyan A.A.
Published: June 2022

The aqueous solutions of the amorphous Sb2S3 is not the hydrophobic sols. The amorphous Sb2S3 reacts with H2O and/or H2S (in aqueous solutions); result: – hy-drophilic thioacids, same as the As2O3 reacts with H2O (As2O3 + 3H2O ⇄ 2H3AsO3); this is a reversible reaction. The arsenous acid decomposes to give crystals of the As2O3 (this is a recrystallization process). The solution of the amorphous Sb2S3 in the H2O with H2S give the crystals of the stibnite, and this process can proceed at room conditions. H2CO3 does not decompose this solutions. H2CO3 + insoluble carbonates – this is a buffering system, which stabilizes the solutions of antimonous thioacids and, consequently, stabilizes the process of crystallization of stibnite. Therefore, the insoluble carbonates — this is a common associates of stibnite
AN EFFECT OF THE MATERIAL COMPOSITION OF ORES AND HOST ROCKS TO THE URANIUM MINING AND LEACHING PROCESS BY THE METHOD OF IN-SITU LEACHING (ISL) AT RESERVOIR-INFILTRATION-TYPE DEPOSITS
Authors: Vorontsov P.Y.
Published: June 2022

Currently there are no specific geotechnological parameters and criteria by which after opening of an ore body it is possible with a high degree of probability to predict an occurrence of problems with the uranium mining. The study of geotech-nological properties of ores affecting on uranium reserves development by the ISL method is achieved by various methods: geophysical, mineralogical and petrographic, laboratory, etc. These works are becoming highly relevant while solving problems re-lated with a low efficiency of uranium mining in difficult areas. Specialists engaged in the analysis of problems during an uranium extraction are required an additional data concerning the mineralogical and petrophysical composition of ore-hosting rocks, the forms of uranium in the rock, the composition of uranium minerals, textural, structur-al features and lithological and filtration types of uranium distribution, the degree of rocks heterogeneity filtration, and their acid capacity, and etc.

Brownstone formations are considered as an indirect indicator for the detection of golden epidermal mineralization.
Comparative evaluation of propofol versus dexmedetomidine infusion for hypotensive anesthesia during functional endoscopic sinus surgery: a prospective randomized trial
Authors: Gupta Kewal Krishan , Kumari Vandana , Kaur Sarvjeet , Singh Amanjot
Published: June 2022

Background: During functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), intranasal bleeding affects operative field visibility and increases the frequency of complications. Therefore, hypotensive anesthesia is a widely used technique to improve surgical outcomes. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of propofol and dexmedetomidine infusion for hypotensive anesthesia in patients undergoing FESS.Methods: This prospective randomized trial was conducted in 80 adult patients aged between 18 and 50 years who were scheduled for FESS under general anesthesia. Patients were randomly divided into two groups: group P (n = 40) received propofol infusion of 100–200 µg/kg/min and group D (n = 40) received dexmedetomidine infusion with a loading dose of 1 µg/kg over 10 min after induction, followed by maintenance infusion of 0.4–0.8 µg/kg/h. Intraoperative blood loss, quality of the surgical field (based on the Fromme–Boezaart scale), hemodynamic control, and patient recovery were recorded. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS software using Student’s t-test, chi-square test, and Mann–Whitney U test.Results: The mean arterial pressure and heart rate were significantly lower in group D throughout the surgery than in group P. Blood loss was significantly higher in group P (100.73 ± 18.12 ml) than in group D (85.70 ± 18.56 ml). The average number of patients with Fromme’s score 1/2/3 was comparable between the groups. Intraoperatively, only one incidence of bradycardia and hypotension was observed in group D (2.5%) compared with that in group P, which was insignificant.Conclusions: Both dexmedetomidine and propofol are efficacious and safe drugs for facilitating controlled hypotension during FESS; however, dexmedetomidine provides better hemodynamic control and is associated with lesser blood loss without any significant adverse effects.
The mixed mating system of a widespread weed: the case of Argemone ochroleuca Sweet (Papaveraceae)
Authors: Rios-Carrasco Sandra , Vázquez-Santana Sonia
Published: June 2022

Background: Argemone ochroleuca is a worldwide invasive weed but is also highly valuable for their chemical compounds. Knowledge about its reproduction will help create plans for its control or its propagation. Questions: Does A. ochroleuca has an incompatibility system like other Papaveraceae species? Which are the reproductive strategies that favor the seed formation in A. ochroleuca ? Studied species: A. ochroleuca is an annual species with bisexual flowers. Study site and dates: Mexico City, Mexico. The fieldwork was performed from February to May in 2013, 2014, and 2017. Methods: Direct observations were made to describe the flower cycle of A. ochroleuca . We used self-pollinated flowers to analyze if this species is self-incompatible by following the pollen tube growth through gynoecium. Controlled pollinations were made to quantify and compare the number of seeds produced per treatment to know the mating system and explore if the species presents a mechanism of reproductive assurance through autogamy, or exhibits inbreeding depression. Results: A. ochroleuca is self-compatible and exhibits a mixed mating system. Although outcrossing is how more seeds are produced, both autogamy and pseudocleistogamy are present as reproductive assurance mechanisms. Naturally pollinated flowers produce the maximum number of seeds, but inbreeding depression is present in the population. Thus, the number of seeds will be affected by continuous selfing. Conclusions: This study highlights the mixed mating system and reproductive assurance mechanisms as successful strategies for A. ochroleuca , a common pattern in invasive weeds.

Authors: Higuita Gutiérrez Luis Felipe , Zuluaga Gómez Lucas , Tapie Piarpuezan Elizabeth , Flórez Duque Jenniffer
Published: June 2022

Introducción:  La transfusión sanguínea es un procedimiento terapéutico en el que se administra un componente sanguíneo de un individuo a otro, el procedimiento no está exento de generar reacciones adversas transfusionales (RAT) que son respuestas indeseadas e imprevistas que se presentan durante o después de la transfusión. Objetivo: estimar la prevalencia de RAT y su asociación con características clínicas en un banco de sangre de Medellín-Colombia. Métodos: estudio descriptivo en 9576 pacientes que requirieron transfusión sanguínea entre los años 2014 y 2018. Se utilizó una fuente de información secundaria de la cual se tomaron las variables demográficas, clínicas, los resultados de las pruebas pre-transfusionales y de las reacciones transfusionales. La información se analizó con frecuencias absolutas, relativas y su intervalo de confianza del 95%, el análisis bivariado se hizo con el estadístico Chi-cuadrado de Pearson. Resultados: el 1,1% (IC 95% 0,88-1,31) de los pacientes presentaron RAT, predominaron las reacciones alérgicas, sobrecarga circulatoria y reacción febril no hemolítica. La prevalencia de RAT fue mayor entre quienes tenían 19 a 26 años [2,4% (IC 95% 1,1-4,6)], y en pacientes con enfermedades del sistema genitourinario [1,6% (IC 95% 0,7-3,2)] y atendidos por medicina interna [1,7% (IC 95%1,3-2,3)]. Conclusión:  La prevalencia de RAT encontrada en este estudio muestra discrepancias con lo descrito en otros países y, pone de manifiesto la necesidad de fortalecer los sistemas de hemovigilancia en cada contexto. Además, refleja la importancia de monitorear los procesos de seguridad del paciente en el nivel de la calidad de los componentes sanguíneos a transfundir, el estudio de los factores de riesgo en el receptor y los errores técnicos que pueden presentarse durante el procedimiento.
Relevance of the voice in the process of gender affirmation in transsexual women: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Ramírez-Arroyo Gabriela , Salín Pascual Rafael Jesús , Dávalos Fuentes Mario Sergio
Published: June 2022

Introduction. Voice is a gender marker and can therefore be a source of gender dysphoria. There is a relationship between symptoms of anxiety and depression and voice-related difficulties in trans women (TW). Hormonal replacement treatment (HRT) in TW does not play a role in voice feminization. Access to voice feminization procedures is limited while the population demanding transgender healthcare is increasing. Objective. To describe the degree of voice-related dysphoria experienced by TW that seek a voice feminization treatment. Method. A descriptive, cross-sectional study, 26 TW completed quality of life (QoL) questionnaires and stated their reasons for seeking voice feminization. Fundamental frequency (f0) was measured. Results. 77% of the participants were legally recognized as women, 96% were under HRT, and 27% had a history of gender affirmation surgery. Median f0 for TW was 131 Hz. f0 had a poor correlation with QoL measures. The mean score in the Trans Women Voice Questionnaire was 95 (SD = 14.3). Achieving a feminine voice that allows gender conformity was the main reason for seeking treatment. Discussion and conclusion. Voice non-conformity affects QoL. None of the participants perceived their voice as feminine while 97% described their ideal voice as feminine. The inability to satisfy gender assurance needs has a detrimental effect on QoL. Improving access to affirmation procedures in public institutions without pathologization of transgender people is a pending agenda. Despite evidence that TW benefit from voice feminization treatments, it is difficult to define how to measure success.

Introduction. The increase in sedentary screen time can negatively affect the quality of sleep, impacting the performance of daily activities. Objective. To analyze the association between sedentary screen time and sleep quality, regardless of the symptoms of anxiety in adolescents of both genders. Method. Cross-sectional study integrating school-based epidemiological research with a representative sample (n = 666) of high school students (14 to 19 years old) in public schools in the municipality of Caruaru-PE. The translated versions into Portuguese of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD) were applied to analyze sleep quality and anxiety, respectively. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the association, considering sleep quality as an outcome. Results. There was a positive, statistically significant (p  #abr#  .001) correlation between sleep quality and symptoms of anxiety (r = .393). A significant association regarding the association between screen time and sleep quality was noted only in those adolescents classified as being possible or probable anxiety cases and only in exposure to the computer (OR = 2.337; 95% CI [1.01, 5.43]) and video games (OR = 8.083; 95% CI [2.0, 32.8]) after adjusting for gender, age, and school shift. Discussion and conclusion. Increased interaction with the screen and higher levels of anxiety can be more harmful to sleep in adolescents. Exposure to screen time, specifically those which have a greater interaction such as video games and computers, can have a negative impact on sleep quality, but only in adolescents with a higher risk of anxiety.
Excavating CBC’s Docudrama The Tar Sands
Authors: McCurdy Patrick
Published: June 2022

This article examines the political controversy around the banned 1977 CBC docudrama _The Tar Sands_, which portrays the personal and political struggle of Alberta Premier Peter Lougheed to secure the Syncrude agreement to develop Alberta’s bitumen sands. Immediately following the docudrama’s broadcast, Lougheed launched a lawsuit which ultimately resulted in the show’s expulsion from CBC archives. While the CBC docudrama sought to dramatize and elevate political critiques of the tar sands, Lougheed’s litigious reaction quickly buried them, obfuscating the real possibility that The Tar Sands—while a work of fiction—portrays the genesis of Alberta’s corporate capture by foreign oil.

Authors: Tejo Jayadi
Published: June 2022

Background: The research of breast cancer prognostic factors has been conducting for a long time, but the results still controversial. The research on demography and clinicopathology factors that determine the survival of breast cancer (BC) patients, remains to be done.

Methods: The observational analytic with cross-sectional design would be conduct to describe the demographic, clinicopathology, therapy and two years survival of breast cancer patients. The independent variables were age, stage of disease, and molecular subtype. The dependent variable was two years survival. The association between those variables analyzed by bivariate statistic and the significant variables would be analyzed by regression logistic.

Results: Most age of breast cancer patients at diagnosis were ≥ 50 years (74.5%). The majority of sociodemographic profiles of BC patients were undergraduate education, private job and married. The main histological type was the invasive ductal carcinoma. More than 50% of the patients were high stage (60.8%) and hormonal receptors molecular subtype (60.7%). Neoadjuvant chemotherapy was given to 40 patients (78.5%), only 9 patients (17.7%) eligible for anti HER-2/neu therapy. There were 42 of patients (82.4%) have two years survival. There weren’t association between age (p=0.586), stage of disease (p=0.223), molecular subtype (p=0.223) with two years survival of breast cancer patients.

Conclusions: The common risk factors of breast cancer is increasing age. Most of breast cancer patients presenting high stage and hormone receptors positive of BC. Although there weren’t significance association, the prevalence low stage BC patients had higher two years survival.

Published: June 2022

The spread of COVID-19 changed the landscape of how social service agencies operate. Essential services providers have had to adapt and innovate in order to carry out their mission. As a result, technology has become an integral part of their service model, with an increased emphasis on telehealth services. For many agencies, the abrupt transition to remote services has brought about important conversations around access, use, policy, effectiveness, and efficiency. A qualitative, narrative study was conducted with CEOs or social work directors of 37 social service agencies in the Mid-South region to understand their experience and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Interviews were conducted and data were transcribed and analyzed. Thematic analysis highlighted seven themes: 1) a rapid transition to virtual services, 2) the need to improve infrastructure, 3) new technology and innovation, 4) barriers, 5) benefits, 6) funding, and 7) changes that will be kept. Implications at the client level include continuing to offer telehealth services. At the agency level, implications include managing the logistics of telehealth and the need for insurance and regulator changes. Implications for social work include ethical considerations for providing telehealth services and educating current and future social workers in the use of telehealth services.
Selective Laser Melted Rare Earth Magnesium Alloy with High Corrosion Resistance
Authors: Yang Youwen , Ling Chenrong , Yang Mingli , Yang Liuyimei , Wang Dongsheng , Peng Shuping , Shuai Cijun
Published: June 2022

Magnesium (Mg) degrades too fast in human body, which limits its orthopedic application. Single-phase Mgbased supersaturated solid solution is expected to possess high corrosion resistance. In this work, rare earth scandium (Sc) was used as alloying element to prepare Mg(Sc) solid solution powder by mechanical alloying (MA) and then shaped into implant using selective laser melting (SLM). MA utilizes powerful mechanical force to introduce numerous lattice defects, which promotes the dissolution of Sc in Mg matrix and forms supersaturated solid solution particles. Subsequently, SLM with fast heating and cooling rate maintains the original supersaturated solid solution structure. Immersion tests revealed that high Sc content significantly enhanced the corrosion resistance of Mg matrix because of the formation of protective corrosion product film, which was also proved by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements. Thereby, Mg(Sc) alloy showed a relatively low degradation rate of 0.61 mm/year. In addition, cell tests showed that the Mg(Sc) exhibited favorable biocompatibility and was suitable for medical application.
A Codispersed Nanosystem of Silver-anchored MoS2 Enhances Antibacterial and Antitumor Properties of Selective Laser Sintered Scaffolds

Published: June 2022

Tumor recurrence and bacterial infection are common problems during bone repair and reconstruction after bone tumor surgery. In this study, silver-anchored MoS2  nanosheets (Ag@PMoS2 ) were synthesized by in situ reduction, then a composite polymer scaffold (Ag@PMoS2 /PGA) with sustained antitumor and antibacterial activity was successfully constructed by selective laser sintering technique. In the Ag@PMoS2 nanostructures, silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were sandwiched between adjacent MoS2  nanosheets (MoS2  NSs), which restrained the restacking of the MoS2  NSs. In addition, the MoS2  NSs acted as steric hindrance layers, which prevented the aggregation of Ag NPs. More importantly, MoS2  NSs can provide a barrier layer for Ag NPs, hindering Ag NPs from reacting with the external solution to prevent its quick release. The results showed that Ag@PMoS2 /PGA scaffolds have stronger photothermal effect and antitumor function. Meanwhile, the Ag@PMoS2 /PGA scaffolds also demonstrated slow control of silver ion (Ag+ ) release and more efficient long-term antibacterial ability. Besides, composite scaffolds have been proved to kill the MG-63 cells by inducing apoptosis and inhibit bacterial proliferation by upregulating the level of bacterial reactive oxygen species. This kind of novel bifunctional implants with antitumor and antibacterial properties provides better choice for the artificial bone transplantation after primary bone tumor resection.

Published: June 2022

Deep burn injury always causes severe damage of vascular network and collagen matrix followed by delayed wound healing process. In this study, natural diatomite (DE) microparticles with porous nanostructure were separated based on the particles size through a dry sieving method and combined with gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel to form a bioactive composite ink. The DE-containing inorganic/organic composite scaffolds, which were successfully prepared through threedimensional (3D) printing technology, were used as functional burn wound dressings. The scaffolds incorporated with DE are of great benefit to several cellular activities, including cell spreading, proliferation, and angiogenesis-related gene expression in vitro, which can mainly be attributed to the positive effect of bioactive silicon (Si) ions released from the embedded DE. Moreover, due to establishment of bioactive ionic environment, the deep burn wounds treated with 3D-printed DE incorporated scaffolds exhibited rapid wound healing rate, enhanced collagen deposition, and dense blood vessel formation in vivo. Therefore, the present study demonstrates that the cost-effective DE can be used as biocompatible Si source to significantly promote the bioactivities of wound dressings for effective tissue regeneration.
Ensino Superior à Distância como Possibilidade de Mobilidade Intergeracional – Caso de Mulheres Adultas da Universidade Aberta do Brasil (UAB)
Authors: Rossi Thalita Rodrigues , Fontes Márcia Barroso
Published: June 2022

O ensino superior à distância tem se mostrado uma opção viável para aprendizes adultos, devido à flexibilidade oferecida pelo aprendizado online, permitindo que os alunos combinem estudo com trabalho remunerado, família e outras responsabilidades, além de elevar a mobilidade intergeracional de educação. No entanto, quando se trata de mulheres adultas, observa-se um padrão em relação ao nível de escolaridade entre pais e filhas, bem como, a interferência da composição familiar e/ou presença de filhos, na conclusão ou desistência de cursos de graduação a distância. O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar o perfil do público que realiza os cursos de graduação a distância de uma Instituição Pública de Ensino Superior, vinculada ao Sistema Universidade Aberta do Brasil (UAB), com foco nas mulheres adultas (com idade acima de 25 anos). Para melhor compreender este fenômeno, foram utilizados dados secundários do cadastro e questionário de pesquisa socioeconômico aplicado aos egressos dos cursos, no período de 2011 a 2015. Os resultados apontam uma tendência média de aumento da mobilidade intergeracional de educação. Essa tendência parece ser impulsionada, principalmente, por políticas educacionais que beneficiaram particularmente as mulheres adultas, filhas de pais com baixo grau de instrução, já atuam no mercado de trabalho, possuem filhos e estão acessando pela primeira vez o ensino superior.

Общение в социуме имеет разноплановый характер и может проявляться в разных аспектах. Одним из ярких примеров невербального самовыражения личности в нашей стране – это молодежная субкультура «Стиляги». Данное явление советской культуры 1950-1960-х годов представляет собой переход от послевоенной «сталинской эпохи» к периоду «хрущевской оттепели». Изучение этого явления дает представление о нравах и культуре того времени, что описывается в данной статье.

Purpose: Dose Area Product (DAP) is a quantity for radiation risk assessment in diagnostic X-ray tests. Children's tissues are up to 10 times more sensitive to radiation than adults, and life expectancy is higher in children than adults, as well as a higher risk of hematopoietic and mass malignancies in them. Therefore, this study aimed to measure DAP values for X-ray fields adjusted by Birjand radio-technologists in chest X-rays of children under 12 years of age.
Materials and Methods: 233 children from Birjand University hospitals who performed chest X-rays were included in the study. To collect data related to DAP, the DAP meter model KermaX® plus SDP was used. It should be noted that no intervention was performed in the patient's imaging method and at the time of radiation and measurement of the DAP values, there was no need for the patient's presence. In the end, the measured DAP values were compared with DAP values of other studies. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 22 at 5% error level using Analysis of Variance (Anova), t-test, and Pearson correlation tests.
Results: Out of 233 patients who were included in the study, 134 males (57.5%) and 99 females (42.5%) participated in the study, it should be noted that there was no significant difference between the mean of DAP in male and female (p = 0.52). In our study, the average DAP was 5.78 ± 3.54 μGy.m2 and DAP values in the range of 0.55 μGy.m2 to 15.54 μGy.m2 that were higher than the average of other studies and there was a significant difference. There was a direct relationship between radiation field dimensions and DAP values so that as the dimensions of the radiation field increase, the DAP value increases. There was a significant difference between the mean DAP of the lowest and the highest age groups, lowest and the highest age groups, and lowest and the highest height groups of patients.
Conclusion: In our study, it was observed that there is a significant relationship between patients' weight, age, and height, radiation field dimensions with DAP values. The amount of DAP in the present study was significantly higher than in other studies. The most important effective parameter in DAP is the radiation field size and if sufficient optimization is done in imaging parameters (kVp, mAS, field size), the DAP values will be greatly reduced.

Purpose: Rapid Prototyping (RP) methods have for quite some time been utilized to construct complex 3-Dimensional (3D) models in the field of medicine since the 1900s. This paper intends to offer a thorough audit of different RP strategies, especially in Prosthodontics that are relied upon to carry numerous enhancements to this field.
Materials and Methods: A pursuit was made using the Google scholar web and the PubMed database as a search engine. The keywords; ‘RP’, ‘rapid prototyping’, ‘3D printing’, ‘dentistry’ and ‘prosthodontics’, ‘stereolithography’, ‘selective laser sintering’, ‘fused deposition method’, and ‘inkjet-based system’ were looked at in the title/abstract of distributions. References of selected articles were additionally looked into for conceivable incorporation in the study. The selected articles utilized RP procedures in different fields of dentistry through various methods. Nonetheless, distributions concerning the dental utilization of RP advancements are as yet uncommon.
Results: Although the concept of layering 3D objects is almost as old as human civilization, this technology has only lately been applied to the construction of 3D complex models in dentistry. Many additional methods appear to be on the horizon that could alter standard dentistry practises in the near future. More unit hours should be included in dentistry curriculums to familiarise dental professionals with the various advantages of this unique technology.
Conclusion: Lately, RP using the property of adding substances or layering strategies have advanced quickly in different fields of dentistry as they can overcome known disadvantages of subtractive and regular procedures. RP has as of late proposed effective uses in different fields of dentistry, like fabrication of implant surgical guides, structures for Removable Partial Dentures (RPDs), Fixed Partial Dentures (FPDs), wax designs for the dental prosthesis, maxillofacial prosthesis, zirconia prosthesis, and molds for metal castings now as well for complete dentures.

Bu araştırma, Erzincan ili merkez ilçesine bağlı köy ve beldelerde bulunan sığırcılık işletmelerindeki sığır barınaklarının yapısal özelliklerini, işletme sahiplerinin öğrenim durumlarını, problemlerini ve çözüm önerilerini ortaya koymak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Ayrıca, barınak yapısal özellikleri ile işletme sahiplerinin eğitim düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkilerde analiz edilmiştir. Bu amaçla, merkez ilçede bulunan 2003 işletmeden basit tesadüfi örnekleme yöntemiyle rastgele seçilen 401 adet işletme sahibiyle yüz yüze anket yapılmıştır. Sığırcılık işletmelerinin %95,0’inde kapalı ahır, %4,8’inde yarı açık ahır ve %0,3’ünde de açık ahırların bulunduğu saptanmıştır. Erzincan ili merkez ilçede bulunan sığır barınaklarının çeşitleri ile işletmecilerin eğitim düzeyleri arasında istatistiksel olarak önemli bir ilişki bulunmadığı da tespit edilmiştir. Sığır barınaklarının duvarlarının yapımında genellikle briket kullanıldığı (%50,6), bunu taş (%22,7), kerpiç (%12,6), tuğla (%11,6), bims (%2,2) ve ahşap (%0,3) kullanımı takip etmiştir. Ahır tabanı açısından işletmeler değerlendirildiğinde, ahırların %98,2’sinde tabanın beton, %0,3’ünde toprak, %1,0’ında tahta ve %0,5’inde ise seramik andezit gibi diğer malzemelerin kullanılarak inşa edildiği tespit edilmiştir. Bu işletmelerinin %20,2’sinde sığırlar için altlık kullanılırken, %79,8’inde ise altlık kullanılmadığı saptanmıştır. Ayrıca, sığır ahırlarının %82,7’sinde işletme sahipleri kışın ahırın havalandırma bacalarını açık tutarken, %17,3’ü ise kapalı tuttuklarını ifade etmişlerdir. İşletme sahiplerinin öğrenim düzeyinin, işletmelerde bacaların kışın açık veya kapalı tutulması üzerine etkisinin önemli (P<0,05) olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ahırlardaki gübre temizliğinin, işletmelerinin %97,5’inde insan gücü ile %1,5’inde otomatik mekanik sıyırıcılarla ve %1,0’inde de traktörle yapıldığı da belirlenmiştir. Buzağıların barındırıldığı yerin, işletmecilerin öğrenim seviyesinden istatistiksel olarak önemli derecede (P<0,05) etkilendiği de tespit edilmiştir. İşletme sahiplerinin öğrenim seviyesinin yükselmesiyle beraber buzağıları farklı barınaklarda yetiştiren çiftliklerin sayısında bir artış olduğu gözlenmiştir.

This article presents the research results on the search and methodologicaljustification of the main parametric points of the universal dependence of the concrete deformationdiagram c c in reinforced concrete elements and structures. It is shown that, unlike others, thisdependence is not empirical, but obtained analytically using the hypothesis of "stiffness nonlinearity".The using expediency this hypothesis to describe the concrete stress-strain state in reinforcedconcrete elements and structures is substantiated by the results of experimental studies by otherauthors.The most important differences between the concrete deformation standard diagram c cand its state actual diagram in reinforced concrete elements and structures are reflected. It isindicated that the descending branch of the diagram c c reproduces the stresses redistributionfrom one concrete fiber to another. It is substantiated in detail why it is impossible to obtain adescending branch of the concrete deformation diagram for centrally loaded standard samples(concrete cylinders or prisms) under standard test conditions.The nature of the change in the secant modulus of concrete deformations in standard prototypesduring their testing is investigated. It has been established that the ratio between the initial modulusof concrete deformation Ec0 and the normalized modulus of elasticity Ec depends on the concreteclass. The numerical values of the indicated ratios for different classes of heavy concrete are determined and given. It is argued in detail why the compressed concrete ultimate deformability  cumust be determined by the state diagram of the element or structure itself, and the concretedeformation descending branch should be limited by the criterion of ultimate bearing capacity(Fermat's criterion) dM / d(1/ r)  0. The reinforcement influence on the length of concretedeformation diagram descending branch of standard prism samples under axial load is estimated.

Authors: Zeng Zhenhao Howard , Sun Peng
Published: June 2022

The purpose of this study was to examine factors that form university students’ attitudes toward physical education (ATPE), the preference of their physical activities (PA), and correlation features among all related factors that form their ATPE. Participants were 1,386 university students from six universities in China. An Adapted Attitudes Toward Physical Education and Physical Activity Preferences Questionnaire was employed in data collection. Data analyses included a 2 × 2 × 2 MANOVA and correlation analysis. The results revealed the ATPE mean-scores ranking (e.g., No. 1 “keep physically fit and strong” and No. 2 “good posture and sturdy body”). Significant differences exist in ATPE mean scores between genders with males scoring higher than females and between majors with natural science scoring higher than social science. The PA preferences ranking of the students was team sports, weight lifting, individual sports, aerobic exercise, dual-game sports, and martial arts. Relationships between ATPE and PA in the university students were exposed and analyzed. The reasons behind these findings were discussed.
