A New Way to Estimate Maximum Power from Wind Turbines: Linking Newtonian with Action Mechanics
Authors: Kennedy Ivan , Hodzic Migdat , Crossan Angus , Crossan Nikolas , Acharige Niranjan , Runcie John
Published: May 2022

Abstract. A more accurate way to calculate power output from wind turbines based on fundamental Newtonian mechanics is proposed for testing. This contrasts with current methods regarded as governed by flows of kinetic energy through an area swept by rotating airfoils. Action mechanics measures torques caused by conservation of momentum of impulsive air streams on rotor surfaces at differing radii. We integrate the windward torque using inputs of rotor dimensions, the angle of incidence and strength of wind impulses on the blade surfaces. A reverse torque in the plane of rotation is estimated as radial impulses from the blade’s rotation. Net torque is converted to power by the angular velocity of the turbine rotors. A matter of concern is significant heat production by wind turbines, partly from leeward reactions but mainly from turbulent release of vortical energy. Use of wind farms as sources of renewable energy may need better practice, minimizing environmental impacts guided by this hypothesis.
La risa de John L. Austin, o la seriedad de su humor
Authors: De Salvador Agra Saleta
Published: May 2022

El objeto de este texto es pensar el supuesto binarismo de los usos ‘serios’ y ‘no serios’ del lenguaje en J. L. Austin. El punto de partida es el examen de su polémica posición contra las dicotomías, prestando especial atención al lugar central que ocupa el humor verbal en sus escritos. Partiendo de aquí, expondré cómo el humor toma cuerpo en su proyecto teórico/práctico en su uso para deshacer y desestabilizar las oposiciones dicotómicas (su capacidad subversiva), como en su versión ejemplarizante, reforzando así su tesis de que todo decir es hacer. En resumen, mi propuesta supone tomar en serio el sentido del humor en/de Austin. Desde esta óptica, aquel binarismo eclosiona y emerge una nueva lectura que contribuye a aclarar la compleja interpretación de la obra austiniana.
The Effectiveness of Brand Personality & Affective Commitment in Capturing Brand Loyalty: A Study of Retailers in UK
Authors: Muhammad Abu Huraira  , Usman Ahmad
Published: May 2022

Marketing research theorists have concentrated their focus in studying the emblematic meaning consumers attach to certain brands. One such concept is brand personality. The brand personality scale proposed by Aaker is popular tool for the measurement of different product categories however, its application on retailers has been a rarity. Moreover, researchers have also called for adopting a multi-dimensional approach towards the study of brand loyalty which includes loyalty dimensions of both behavioral and attitudinal loyalty in conjunction with the brand personality concept. The specific objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness brand personality in capturing consumers’ loyalty towards a retailer. Stratified random sampling was applied for gathering the data from 120 consumers belonging to the three retailers in UK. The results showed a direct influence of brand personality on dimensions of loyalty. In addition, the three retailers were found to have different brand personality dimensions. The study suggests that managers should work towards building a retail brand personality to influence the loyalty of consumers. The scope of this study can be further widened by investigating ways of building a brand personality for retailers. The results of this study have contributed to the area of retail branding in a way that this research is performed in a different setting.

Published: May 2022

The key element for differentiation between normal anatomical variants and pathological deformities is the prior definition of normal ranges for anthropometric parameters of acetabulum according to each age group. Aim of the present study is to analyze the development of the acetabulum in children/adolescents by accurate anthropometric measurements using 3D-CT scans and determine the variations occurring depending on age, gender and/or side.

This retrospective observational study included 85 patients (170 hips) under 15 years of age (0-15) undergoing 1.5mm CT scanning for non-hip related reasons. The measurements were performed by 2 board-certified orthopaedic surgeons. Each year of life represented an age group forming a total of 16 groups. Median number of patients per age group was 12 (range 4-16). The anthropometric parameters included acetabular volume, inclination, version, depth (coronal and axial), width (coronal and axial), Tönnis angle as well as anterior and posterior acetabular sector angles. Mean values, range, standard deviation, p-values, intra- and interrater reliability were calculated.

All measurement values correlated significantly with age. Statistically, there was no side or gender related difference. Rapid growth phases were observed at the age of 11-12. The inter- and intrarater reliability was high (range ICC 0.8-0.99, Cronbach alpha 0.86-0.99, Bland-Altman good agreement).

The present data provides age- and gender-related normative values as well as growth phases describing acetabular morphology. It should help paediatricians as well as paediatric and orthopaedic surgeons as a tool for early diagnosis of deformity and guidance for possible procedures.

Published: May 2022

A non-comparative multi-centre and international pilot study have been carried on Y-STRUT® (Hyprevention, France), an implantable medical device meant to reinforce the hip to reduce the risk of a contralateral hip fracture. Objectives of the study were to determine the feasibility and tolerance of the procedure. Methods Patients older than 60 years were recruited when presenting at the emergency departments with a low-energy pertrochanteric fracture on one side and with a fracture risk assessed for the contralateral side with BMD, T-Score or other bone quality evaluation tool, FRAX index, or fall risk assessment. Pain and functional ability were assessed at the different follow-up visits using VAS, WOMAC and OHS-12 scores. Results Twelve patients were included and reached a one-year follow-up. Mean age was 82 years old (65 – 91). The average hospital stay was 13 days (3 – 29). The prophylactic surgery did not delay the hospital discharge for any patient. The procedure did not lead to unresolvable serious adverse events. At 3 weeks, all patients were able to walk 6 meters, half of them in less of 30 seconds. Minimal pain was reported all along the follow-up visits, except at 3 years when one patient presented high pain in both hips. WOMAC and OHS-12 scores showed a moderate to mild hip impairment. Conclusion The good short and medium-term outcomes of this pilot study demonstrate the feasibility and the tolerability of the device. Further studies should focus on the efficacy of this immediate and lasting bone reinforcement technique.

Published: May 2022

Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) is clinically defined as greater trochanter pain with mechanical characteristics. The most common diagnosis is gluteal tendinopathy. Most cases of gluteal tendinopathy resolve with conservative management. In case of refractory pain endoscopic surgical treatment can resolved symptoms. This article presents a prospective study of endoscopic proximal fascia lata release associated to trochanteric bursectomy for recalcitrant trochanteric pain syndrome.

33 patients (35 hips) with refractory pain during more than six months were included. All patients were treated by endoscopic iliotibial band release and bursectomy according to Ilizaliturri. Outcomes were assessed by using Harris hip score and Womac hip score. Patients were follow-up until one year after surgery.

The mean age was 53.7 years old, there was 9 men and 24 women. There were two bilateral cases in the female group. The average duration of conservative treatment was 20 months (CI95 9 to 31 months). 68% of patients were satisfied of the surgery with disappearance of pain after surgery. WOMAC and Harris hip score significantly improved after surgery until 6 months (respectively from 67 to 29 and from 40 to 76 - p<0.05). No complication was reported. Age, body mass index and duration of conservative treatment did not influence surgical results.

This study showed that the endoscopic ilio tibial band (ITB) release and trochanteric bursectomy is simple, safe and easily reproductible but future prospective studies with a larger number of patients are required.

Literature into the short-term follow-up of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using a handheld image- free robotic system are scarce. The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) between patients operated for TKA with an image- free robotic system (robot group) or conventionally TKA (conventional group) 2 years postoperatively. A total of 147 patients were evaluated after TKA, respectively 73 in the robot and 74 in conventional group. Outcome measures included adverse events (AEs), hospital readmission rate, patient satisfaction and the following PROMs: Pain Visual Analogue Score (VAS), Oxford Knee Score (OKS), Forgotten Joint Score Knee (FJS-12) and the EuroQOL-5D (EQ-5D). There were no statistically significant differences in the number of AEs; 8 (10.8%) in the conventional group versus 7 (9.7%) in the robot group. The FJS (p ≤ 0.05) and OKS (p ≤ 0.05) differed statistically in favour of the robot group. The EQ-5D and EQ-5D VAS did not statistically differed between the groups (p=0.231 and p=0.373 respectively). The VAS pain improved statically significant in both groups when comparing the pre- and postoperative values (5.8 points). Patients operated with a handheld image-free robotic system have the ability to forget their artificial knee joint in everyday life as measured with the FJS-12 at short-term follow-up.

Published: May 2022

В последние годы Россия стала крупнейшим экспортером зерна, в том числе пшеницы. Увеличение производства зерна пшеницы, а также повышение его качества является одной из приоритетных задач нашей страны в современных условиях. В этой связи особую актуальность приобретают объективность и точность методов определения качества зерна пшеницы, а также усовершенствование методов его оценки. С целью внедрения новых методов оценки качества зерна пшеницы для массового использования необходима его стандартизация. ООО «ЭКАН» разработал новый электронный диафаноскоп «Янтарь», позволяющий автоматизировать процесс определения стекловидности методом оптико-компьютерной диагностики, который предполагает оценку показателей качества продукции на основе компьютерного анализа его изображений в оптическом диапазоне длины волн. В результате проведенных исследований была выявлена необходимость стандартизации нового метода определения стекловидности, как более точного и объективного для определения одного из важных классообразующих показателей качества зерна пшеницы. В настоящее время проводится разработка национального стандарта на метод определения стекловидности оптико-компьютерным экспресс-методом с применением нового прибора - диафаноскопа «Янтарь», который распространяется на зерно мягкой и твердой пшеницы.

In recent years, Russia has become the largest exporter of grain, including wheat. Increasing the production of wheat grain, as well as improving its quality, is one of the priorities of our country in modern conditions. In this regard, the objectivity and accuracy of methods for determining the quality of wheat grain, as well as the improvement of methods for its evaluation, are of particular relevance. In order to introduce new methods for assessing the quality of wheat grain for mass use, its standardization is necessary. EKAN LLC has developed a new electronic diaphanoscope «Yantar», which allows automating the process of determining vitreous by optical-computer diagnostics, which involves evaluating product quality indicators based on computer analysis of its images in the optical wavelength range. As a result of the conducted research, the need for standardization of a new method for determining vitreousness was revealed, as more accurate and objective for determining one of the important class-forming indicators of wheat grain quality. Currently, a national standard is being developed for the method of determining vitreousness by the opto-computer express method using a new device - the Yantar diaphanoscope, which applies to soft and durum wheat grains.

Published: May 2022

Развитие технологии продуктов питания на зерновой основе связано с изменяющимися требованиями к качеству и безопасности, обновлением ассортимента, появлением новых, нетрадиционных источников сырья, созданием композитных изделий со сбалансированным составом. Введение в состав зерносмеси семян льна позволяет существенно обогатить и сбалансировать состав получаемых зерновых продуктов, скорректировать жирнокислотный состав полиненасыщенными жирными кислотами (ПНЖК) семейства омега-3 и омега-6. Разработана технологическая схема односортного помола бинарной зерносмеси, состоящей из 93 % крупы пшеничной и 7 % семян льна. Содержание семян льна в смеси было определено исходя из рекомендуемых уровней потребления пищевых и биологически активных веществ. Получены три сорта пшенично-льняной муки с повышенной пищевой ценностью со следующими показателями: сорт А - выход 45-50 %, жир 3,6-4,0 %, белок 13,0-13,5 %, зола 0,55-0,70 %, белизна 50 ед.; сорт Б - выход 20-25 %, жир 5,5-6,0 %, белок 14,0-14,5 %, зола -0,9-1,25 %, белизна 22 ед.; сорт В - выход 70-75 %, жир 4,5-5,0 %, белок 13,6-14,0 %, зола 0,75-0,90 %, белизна 36 ед.

The development of grain-based food technology is associated with changing quality and safety requirements, updating the range, the emergence of new, non-traditional sources of raw materials, and the creation of composite products with a balanced composition. The introduction of flax seeds into the composition of the grain mixture makes it possible to significantly enrich and balance the composition of the resulting grain products, to correct the fatty acid composition with polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) of the omega-3 and omega-6 families. The developed technological scheme of single-grade grinding of a binary grain mixture, consisting of 93 % wheat groats and 7 % flax seeds. The content of flax seeds in the mixture was determined based on the recommended levels of consumption of food and biologically active substances. Three varieties of wheat-flax flour with increased nutritional value were obtained with the following indicators: grade A - yield 45-50%, fat 3.6-4.0 %, protein 13.0-13.5 %, ash 0.55-0.70 %, whiteness 50 units; grade B - yield 20-25 %, fat 5.5-6.0 %, protein 14.0-14.5 %, ash 0.9-1.25 %, whiteness 22 units; grade B - yield 70-75 %, fat 4.5-5.0 %, protein 13.6-14.0 %, ash 0.75-0.90 %, whiteness 36 units.
Efficiency of the process for the determination of uric acid in grain
Authors: Степаненко Дмитрий Сергеевич
Published: May 2022

Исследования, направленные на решение проблемы пищевой безопасности продуктов питания и сырья для их производства, сейчас актуальны. Зерновые продукты являются основой питания человека. Многочисленными исследованиями доказана опасность зерна, пораженного насекомыми и клещами, за счет накопления в нем мочевой кислоты. Проблема заключается в том, что после подработки и очистки зерна от примесей мочевая кислота остается внутри зерновки. Для предотвращения накопления мочевой кислоты в организме человека требуется эффективный метод контроля, обеспечивающий объективную оценку опасности пищевых изделий для населения. В настоящей работе показана возможность использования методики высокоэффективной жидкостной хроматографии (ВЭЖХ) для определения загрязненности зерна мочевой кислотой. Рассмотрена возможность улучшения определения мочевой кислоты методом ВЭЖХ. Определен оптимальный способ обнаружения аналитического сигнала. Доказана эффективность в качестве экстрагента 1%-ного раствора ацетата натрия для снижения нижнего порога обнаружения. Отработана возможность повышения времени удерживания мочевой кислоты - и тем самым изменения времени выхода - путем внесения ионно-связывающего агента. Проведенные эксперименты позволяют повысить точность анализа и снизить порог определения минимальной загрязненности зерна вредителями хлебных запасов.

Research aimed at solving the problem of food safety of food products and raw materials for their production is relevant. Cereal products are the basis of human nutrition. Numerous studies have proven the danger of grain affected by insects and mites due to the accumulation of uric acid in it. The problem is that after working and cleaning the grain from impurities, uric acid remains inside the grain. To prevent the accumulation of uric acid in the human body, an effective control method is required that provides an objective assessment of the danger of food products for the population. The present work shows the possibility of using the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) technique to determine grain contamination with uric acid. The possibility of improving the determination of uric acid by HPLC was considered. The optimal method for detecting an analytical signal is determined. The effectiveness of 1% sodium acetate solution as an extractant has been proven to reduce the lower detection threshold. The possibility of increasing the retention time of uric acid and, thereby, changing the exit time, by introducing an ion-binding agent, has been worked out. The experiments carried out make it possible to increase the accuracy of the analysis and reduce the threshold for determining the minimum contamination of grain by pests of grain stocks.

Published: May 2022

Em 2020 o mundo se deparou com a pandemia causada pelo COVID-19 e, consequentemente, com a necessidade do isolamento social e do fechamento de instituições de ensino, trabalho e lazer. Diante disso, foram criadas estratégias para adaptação a esses obstáculos, como o home office, a teleconsulta e outras medidas para controlar a propagação do vírus. Os pacientes com Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção e Hiperatividade (TDAH), frente a tal cenário, se mostraram como uma população com um potencial risco de infecção e de possível agravamento do quadro clínico, por serem pouco tolerantes à quebra da rotina, são mais resistentes às novas medidas higieno- comportamentais para auto-proteção. Sendo assim, foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica, selecionando os estudos referentes ao impacto da pandemia nos pacientes com TDAH. Observou-se, portanto, a ocorrência de alterações no sono, no quadro clínico e na gravidade desses pacientes, dificuldades de acesso médico e adaptações diante do diagnóstico e tratamento foram de difícil manejo, além de a patologia se comportar como fator de risco para a infecção e hospitalização pelo COVID-19. Assim, foi possível perceber que os pacientes com TDAH sofrem importantes adversidades frente à pandemia, sendo necessário adaptações para que mesmo diante de tais obstáculos, se possa oferecer uma assistência integral a estes pacientes.

Inheriting Scientific Racism with a Convenient Jingle: Nature versus Nurture as a Scientific- Political Topos
Authors: Allen’s Nicole T. , Allen Jordan , Munz Stevie M.
Published: May 2022

This paper presents a rhetorical history of the invention of the phrase “nature versus nurture.” We argue that, from its start, nature versus nurture functioned as a scientific-political topos. We analyze Sir Francis Galton’s invention of nature versus nurture to demonstrate the need for topoi that attend to the political dimensions of scientific topoi. The emphasis on scientific-political topoi demonstrates the ability of topoi to trace the political and contextual operations of scientific inquiry. This approach draws attention to the racist and racial hierarchical assumptions of nature versus nurture from the inception of the topos.
Lifting as We Climb: Amanda Gorman and Womanist Vernacular Discourse at the 2021 Presidential Inauguration
Authors: Morton Ayo Mariama
Published: May 2022

In this essay, I show how Amanda Gorman exercised womanist vernacular discourse to offer hope to the current condition of the United States. I begin by looking at a well-known definition of “vernacular rhetoric” and juxtapose this with the works of several Black women to craft a working definition of womanist vernacular discourse. I then elaborate on the vernacular exercise by looking at cultural syncretism and its function as pastiche. Then, I examine how Gorman’s “The Hill We Climb” followed this method. While I am simply identifying a cultural phenomenon present in the expression of Amanda Gorman, it is my hope that this unveiling will help further empower rhetoric studies to incorporate a marginalized voice. The genius of Gorman’s performance makes room for the marginalized voice to authentically enter without being compromised.
Education, Political Theology, and Anti-Trinitarianism in Paradise Lost
Authors: Kasa Deni
Published: May 2022

Recent critics have argued that Milton’s poetry and prose anticipate the political theology of Carl Schmitt. In particular, Milton’s God in Paradise Lost has been described in these terms because he provokes the angels in his exaltation of the Son, a gesture that allegedly resembles the Schmittian idea of the state of exception. This article argues that Milton’s concept of the exception should be understood not only in Schmittian terms but also, according to Abdiel in book 5, as a pedagogical test. Situating Milton’s God within contemporary anti-Trinitarian theology, I suggest that the deity can be seen as politically authoritarian, but that the poem aims to cultivate agency pedagogically in the exercising of moral judgment.
Death the Devourer: The Sound and Sight of Ate and Eat in Paradise Lost
Authors: Jacobs Edward C.
Published: May 2022

While critical attention has focused on Milton’s use of sound in Paradise Lost, the substantial recurrence of wordplay invoking the sound and visual patterns of the morphemes ate and eat has been neglected. This article argues that often in passages detailing or contrasting to the Fall, as well as alluding to it proleptically or analeptically, Milton uses the sound and/or sight of ate and eat to underscore—or contrast to—the corrupting, deadly ontological consequences of the “compleating of the mortal Sin / Original.”
Constructing Miltonic Interiority: Adam, Satan, and Conscience in Paradise Lost
Authors: Held Joshua R.
Published: May 2022

Milton’s Satan has more private speeches than any other character in Paradise Lost and displays a complex interiority, especially in his longest soliloquy, an anguish of conscience at the opening of book 4. But Milton also exhibits the interior of fallen Adam in book 10 through a soliloquy of despairing conscience that is resonant with Satan’s earlier conscience-inflicted speech. The similarities between the interiors of Adam and Satan are deliberate and potent, yet the differences are also significant, in ways that denigrate Satan, elevate Adam (and Eve), and reveal a spectrum of consciences in Paradise Lost. This article argues that Milton had much to say about interiority, particularly through the inner faculty of conscience, which he exhibits in his epic across a wide range of characters and scenarios, from angels to human beings, and from guilt and despair to divine consolation.
The Discount Rate for Assessing Intragenerational Natural Resource Damages
Authors: Dunford Richard W.
Published: May 2022

For more than 20 years, economists have converted annual losses from injuries to natural resources caused by oil spills or hazardous-substance releases into their present-value equivalents using a 3% real discount rate. A 1999 technical paper from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration provided three data series from 1981 through 1998 supporting a 3% real discount rate. However, data series for 1981 through 2016, which provide a proxy for the social rate of time preference for consumption by the public, support a lower discount rate. Furthermore, recent conceptual developments imply a lower discount rate for environmental services than for produced goods and services. We present several lines of evidence that support a real discount rate of not more than 2% for assessing intragenerational natural resource damages.
Capital Assets and Rural Resilience: An Analysis of Texas Communities Impacted by Hurricane Harvey
Authors: Ross Ashley , Clay Lauren A.
Published: May 2022

Past studies have consistently shown that rural communities are less resilient to disasters than their urban counterparts. However, the specific factors associated with low resilience have not been sufficiently explored. This study seeks to advance our understanding of rural resilience by evaluating disaster recovery from a capitals perspective, focusing on the individual and collective resources that support adaptation to disturbance. Using data from 108 resident interviews in four Texas municipalities affected by Hurricane Harvey, rural and urban capital asset losses and gains are analyzed using a mixed-methods approach. The findings indicate that rural communities have greater physical capital losses, of housing in particular, while urban communities have greater institutional capital losses. Social capital gains were prevalent in all cases but highest in the rural communities. These findings have implications for targeting capacity-building efforts in rural communities to more effectively support disaster recovery and resilience.
Does a Competing Policy Solution Seen as Inevitable Open a Window in the Policy Stream? The Case of Idaho’s Boulder–White Cloud Mountains
Authors: Lee E. Scott
Published: May 2022

The Multiple Streams Theory literature identifies mechanisms to open policy windows in the problem and political streams. A proposed policy deemed inevitable by stakeholders appears to open a policy window in the policy stream allowing policy entrepreneurs to successfully position the inevitable competing policy as the lesser of two evils. For over a decade, U.S. Representative Mike Simpson (R-ID) unsuccessfully introduced legislation to create additional wilderness, solidify existing recreational uses, provide local economic relief, and provide relief for ranchers in the Boulder–White Cloud Mountains area in central Idaho. The Obama administration’s proposal of a competing policy, the unilateral creation of a national monument pursuant to the Antiquities Act, appears to have opened a policy window that allowed Simpson to successfully propose his policy solution as the lesser of two evils. Policy entrepreneurs may use this method when faced with a policy proposal seen as inevitable but not necessarily best.
The Soil Health Card Scheme in India: Lessons Learned and Challenges for Replication in Other Developing Countries
Authors: Reddy A. Amarender
Published: May 2022

This article assesses the design, process flow, and impact of the Soil Health Card (SHC) scheme in India, which was introduced in 2015. Under this scheme, government mechanisms distribute SHCs to each farmer. The article examines the scheme using a nationally representative sample of farmers in 2017. Awareness of the SHC scheme among the farmers was high at 82%, but only 66% were able to understand the recommendations, and only 48% followed the recommended rate of fertilizer application. Literacy rates, irrigated area, contact with extension workers, subsidized micronutrients, and the infrastructure index had a positive influence on use of SHCs. The farmers benefited through optimal use of fertilizers and reduced cost of production. To replicate similar schemes in other developing countries, they have to enhance state capabilities in terms of soil sample collection and testing with the latest technologies such as GPS-enabled tablets and mass testing, along with better fertilizer subsidy policies.
Doping in sports and current regulations
Authors: Alkhelaifi Muneera Ahmed , Martinez Maria Alejandra
Published: May 2022

Over the years, numerous agencies were created to build and protect integrity in sports by reviewing the suitability of the existing laws in promoting community confidence in athletics. Doping is defined as the illegal consumption of certain substances in order to enhance athlete's performance and it has recently become a matter of concern. Anti-doping agencies were established to create regulations so players can participate in a doping-free sporting environment. Anti-Doping rules emphasize on the rationale to preserve what is intrinsically valuable about sport. This intrinsic value is often referred to as “the spirit of sport” and is concerned with ethics, fair play and honesty, health, excellence in performance, character and education, respect of rules and laws among other aspects. Hence, the key objective of this critical review is to reiterate on the importance of the criminalization of doping. It highlights the important gaps where immediate interference should take place with focus on the role of medical practitioners, pharmacies and sport science. Such a move is essential, as it will increase the avenue for handling doping cases using additional resources such as the legal framework of a country. Previously published articles were reviewed and the main findings indicate that several factors contribute to the increase in number of doping incidents such as the availability of steroids, facilitated drug trafficking, the involvement of multinational pharmaceutical organizations and other political interests. Moreover, in order to fight this phenomenon, local and international laws should penalize athletes who are engaged in doping at various levels. This criminal offense charges should implement prison sentence as well as imposing significant fine amounts to be paid. The ultimate legal action for offenders should be long-term suspension from participating in sporting events.

O SARS-CoV-2 é um micro-organismo que ganhou evidência global por se tornar uma grave ameaça à saúde humana, devido a sua alta taxa de transmissibilidade, surgindo a importância do uso de equipamentos de proteção individual e coletiva e outras medidas de prevenção para dificultar o contágio dos seus usuários e retardar a quantidade de infectados simultaneamente. Nesse cenário, o artigo consiste em uma revisão de literatura, que apresenta o objetivo de identificar as ações empreendidas pelas Forças Armadas do Brasil contra os riscos de acidentes de trabalho durante essa situação de crise sanitária. Para tanto, a Marinha se destacou na confecção de ventiladores pulmonares, em parceria com a Universidade de São Paulo (USP), que têm um efeito virucida em torno de 80%, e na produção de máscaras face shield, fabricadas com impressora 3D. Já o Exército, adotou sérias medidas de prevenção e de testagem para que seus profissionais pudessem continuar trabalhando a serviço da sociedade brasileira, enquanto a Aeronáutica foi de extrema importância no transporte dos brasileiros que ficaram presos no Peru, devido ao fechamento das fronteiras, realizando inclusive um trabalho de triagem dentro das aeronaves.

The Goal of The United Nations' Sustainable Development is to reduce under-five mortality to or at below 25 per 1000 live births. The large and vulnerable group with a high-risk population in India is the age group of children under the age of five years. According to UNICEF, South Asia has the highest proportion of recorded child mortality, with India accounting for a quarter of them. Being a member of a tribal community adds to this vulnerability. When compared to other social classes, tribal children had a 19% higher chance of dying during the newborn period and a 45% higher risk during the post-neonatal era. The Indian government is working hard to put child survival at the forefront of its agenda and has devised a particular plan for vulnerable populations. It uses content analysis to examine existing policies, programs, and research involving children under the age of five. The findings revealed the historical development of child policies dating back to 1974 with the creation of the first child policy. Meanwhile, several initiatives to enhance the health of children under the age of five have been made.

The coastal city of Semarang has a flat topography with 13 rivers passing through, causing flood insecurity. The purpose of the study is reviewing rainfall patterns in Semarang City, and reviewing the relationship of rainfall with flood events in coastal parts of Semarang City. The materials used are secondary data (rainfall from BMKG, flood information from online media and newspapers) and field surveys (flood measurement and observation). Rainfall data processed with Excel, flood events (place, time, and height of puddles) are associated with the magnitude of rainfall. Analysis of the interrelationship of rainfall and flooding is associated with aspects of environmental conditions (topography, hydrology, geology). The results showed that during the period June 2018-June 2019 daily rainfall above 100 mm has caused flooding. Monthly rainfall above 100 mm occurs in December, January, February.

Published: May 2022

Professional ethics is a set of guidelines designed to help professionals do their work with complete dedication, sincerity, honesty, and integrity. The code of professional ethics for teacher educators establishes a set of principles to guide and motivate students at the B.Ed and M.Ed levels. In order to fulfil their tasks with inspiration, enthusiasm, and friendliness toward students, parents, colleagues, community, and society, the teacher educator should have developed into a role model with distinguished attributes. Educator educators' professional ethics may be influenced by a variety of educational, personal, and institutional variables. Using normative survey methodology and stratified sampling approach, the investigator investigated a study on predictor or most influencing element of professional ethics of teacher educators. Five hundred and ninety-nine teacher educators were chosen as a sample from forty different institutes of education in five distinct districts across Tamilnadu. Professional ethics, as well as a number of institutional, personal, and familial characteristics, were chosen for further analysis. The investigator designed and validated Professional Ethics Scale (2018), which was based on Likert's five-point research scale based on opinion as a scale of measurement that was used to measure professional ethics among teacher educators.

Selection of features is an effective method for minimizing the amount of data features in order to improve machine learning classification performance. Choosing a set of attributes is a high-level procedure for selecting a collection of relevant features. To boost the classifier's performance, use a dimensional dataset. We outline a typical feature selection problem in this work in order to minimize the amount of role and responsibilities while improving accuracy. Different classification dataset from the Machine learning repository have been used to test SMA with GWO as a feature selection strategy. The feature selections for UCI repository datasets include Bat optimization, Cuckoo search optimization, Slime mould optimization, Whale optimization, Particle swarm optimization, and Grey wolf optimization.
