Authors: Rogowski Rafał , Werbińska-Wojciechowska Sylwia
Published: October 2023

Maintenance issues in mines are particularly important due to the type and complexity of equipment in operation or working in hostile (even extreme) conditions. In this context, the need to ensure continuous/regular maintenance of machinery, identify potential hazards and ensure operational safety seems to be a challenge. Moreover, selecting an appropriate maintenance method is crucial for a mine, both economically and in technical/organizational terms. This study aims to present the preliminary results of diagnostic tests for pumps performing operational tasks in a mine shaft dewatering system. In addition, this study focused on a detailed discussion of the basic elements of the mine shaft dewatering system and the technical objects studied. A preliminary operational test plan for the investigated pumps operating in the mine shaft dewatering system is also presented. This enabled a discussion of the results obtained from the tests of the first quarter of 2023. The tests used three basic diagnostic methods: vibration analysis, thermal imaging and acoustic testing. Potential directions for further research in the analyzed area were also indicated.

Authors: RAJA T V , GANDHI R S
Published: October 2023

Data on 586 daughters of 50 Sahiwal sires maintained at the Institute, over a period of 47 years (1961–2007) were used for the present study. The Sahiwal sires were evaluated on the basis of the breeding values for 3 traits, viz. FL305DMY, individual third month milk yield and cumulative 90 days milk yield using derivative free restricted maximum likelihood method and the relationship between the expected breeding values were estimated using the rank correlation. The heritability estimates of FL305DMY and individual third month milk yields were highly significant. The genetic and phenotypic correlations between FL305DMY and part lactation yields were highly significant. The study on the relationship of estimated breeding values among the 3 different traits, viz. first lactation 305-day or less milk yield, individual third month milk yield and cumulative 90 days milk yield revealed a higher degree of rank correlations. The per cent of common sires among the FL305DMY and individual third month yield was 60 and for FL305DMY and cumulative 90 days milk yield the corresponding per cent was 70 revealing that the selection based on any of the 3 traits exhibited a higher degree of similarity (>60%) in the ranking of top 10 Sahiwal sires. It was concluded that the Sahiwal sires may be evaluated on the basis of individual third month and/ cumulative 90 days milk yield for selecting the sires for increasing the FL305DMY using the DFREML method.

In the present study, identification of PIT-1 gene polymorphism and its association with milk production traits was undertaken in 77 Sahiwal cattle maintained at NDRI, Karnal using PCR-RFLP. Amplification of DNA sample revealed 600 bp product and restriction digestion with HinfI showed three types of genotypes, namely, AA (600bp), AB (600, 343 and 257 bp) and BB (343 and 257 bp) genotypes. The frequency of BB genotypes was highest (64.98%) in all screened samples, followed by AB genotype (31.16%) and AA genotype (3.89%). The allelic frequency of PIT-1 A and B alleles were 19.48% and 80.51%, respectively. Association studies of PIT-1 gene with milk production traits showed that age at first calving, gestation period and lactation period had non-significant variation among all the 3 genotypes up to fourth lactation. However, a significant difference was found among the 3 genotypes for total milk yield and milk yield at 300 days with AA genotype showing higher value than AB and BB genotypes in the first lactation. From present investigation, the HinfI /PCR-RFLP revealed polymorphic pattern of PIT-1 gene in Sahiwal cattle and association studies showed significant effect of A allele on milk production.

Published: October 2023

Cytokines play very important roles in the development of protective immune responses against a variety of pathogens. During the last decade rapid progress has been made in the cloning and characterization of cytokines from livestock and companion animals. However, no such work was carried out on cytokines of Indian horse breed. The present work was undertaken with the objective of generating sequence information of cytokines of Marwari horse. The cDNAs encoding interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4, IL-10 and IL-18 of Marwari horse were cloned, sequenced and subsequently compared with respective interleukin sequences of mammalian species including zebra, donkey, cattle, buffalo, sheep, goat, camel and pig available in GenBank database. Horse IL-10 and IL-18 shows nearly 90% sequence homology both at nucleotide and amino acid level with major livestock species. But horse IL-2 and IL-4 had significant sequence divergence with corresponding interleukins of domestic animals. Structural and functional conservation of horse interleukins in respect of cysteine residues, glycosylation, myristoylation, and phosphorylation motifs revealed that IL-10 and IL-18 molecules are evolutionary conserved across species. Nucleotide and amino acid sequences identity and phylogenetic analyses of the 4 cytokine genes in the present study indicated that horse cytokines are closely related to that of pig and camel cytokines.
Economic losses due to livestock production constraints and agenda for research and development for Odisha
Authors: JHA AWADHESH KUMAR , SINGH R K P
Published: October 2023

The present study assesses research and development priorities for livestock sector in Odisha. The specific objective of this study is to identify biotic, abiotic and socio-economic constraints to livestock production at micro level; and prioritize the research and agenda based on the intensity of these constraints in the state of Odisha. On the basis of analysis of micro-information, the lack of progeny bull, mineral deficiency, shortage of green fodder, and sterility emerged as the first four persisting constraint in Odisha, which are adversely affecting the bovine in realizing potential yield. These constraints of dairy production are yet to be addressed properly. Indiscriminant/ inbreeding due to unavailability of true to breed bucks and rams and lack of fodder/feed are the common constraints for goat and sheep farming. Diseases like, dermatitis, parasitic infections and pox in Odisha are also economically important constraint for goat and sheep farming. Accordingly, there is a need to allocate research resources and target development interventions to increase the efficacy and efficiency of livestock R&D in Odisha.

Towards Achieving Customer Satisfaction in Last Mile Delivery for E-commerce Sector: A MCDM Approach
Authors: Shaikh Imlak N , Gupta Amit K , Srivastava Manoj K
Published: October 2023

Last mile delivery is the last leg in the delivery of finished goods from the manufacturer’s facilities to the end customer, and in the case of e-commerce, last mile delivery of the product is the only physical touch point between businesses and customers, so it becomes even more important to achieve customer satisfaction in last mile delivery of the product to gain brand equity and brand loyalty so that the customers stay on your platform. To identify the most favorable mode of last-mile delivery that leads to customer satisfaction, a combination of multiple criteria decision-making methods, i.e., Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), will be used. Essentially, this will be a fuzzy TOPSIS analysis of the different alternatives based on criteria identified to boost customer satisfaction, and the fuzzy criteria weights required for this calculation will be derived using the fuzzy AHP method. The results thus derived will guide to rank the different alternatives with respect to one another and to further derive our conclusion. Results of this survey suggest that the criteria for secure delivery of goods were the highest contributing mediators when it came to building customer satisfaction, and at the same time, the criteria for proximity to the delivery location were the least contributing criteria.

Published: October 2023

The present study aimed to determine the emotional characteristics of the Trait-Meta-Mood-Scale (TMMS-24) in music-oriented secondary school students in Italy. A 24-item self-assessment protocol was applied to measure the level of perceived emotional intelligence according to 3 dimensions: attention, clarity and repair. This tool represents one of the most widely used self-assessment measures of perceived emotional intelligence. The objective of the study was to conduct construct validation to examine reliability of the Italian version of the TMMS-24 in order to identify its feasibility for the assessment of emotional intelligence. Exploratory and confirmatory factorial analyses were conducted on a sample of music-oriented secondary school students in Italy (n=402). Exploratory factor analysis outcomes revealed that the three dimensions of the original scale (attention, clarity and emotional repair) are supported in the examined context, showing adequate internal consistency and describing 52.6% of overall variance. Outcomes were confirmed via confirmatory analysis, obtaining good fit indices (CFI=0.986; TLI=0.985; RMSEA=0.038). The TMMS-24 scale is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring the emotional intelligence of secondary school students in Italy. Keywords: TMMS-24, emotional intelligence, secondary school education, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis.

Published: October 2023

This study's goal was to outline the opportunities and challenges of how digitization will affect MSMEs. We combined publication trends from numerous papers using the qualitative methodology to find them. We found that the process of digitizing MSMEs involves switching from analog to digital technologies in order to improve the efficacy and efficiency of MSMEs business operations. The digitization of MSMEs has compelled stakeholders in MSMEs businesses to change corporate governance from outdated techniques to more contemporary ones. For MSMEs, becoming digital involves more than just utilizing technology to sell goods. Additionally, MSMEs will be able to manage their accounts, track their cash flow, and buy raw materials online as a result of digitization. As a result, digitization is crucial to the whole operation of MSMEs business activities.

Lejos de las lecturas que describen a estos actores como pasi­vos ante el rol del gobierno, sostene­mos que ambas organizaciones buscaron operar sobre el contenido del programa de modo constante, mayormente en sentidos opuestos. Dependiendo del contexto, desafiaron la interpretación oficial del documento fundante del “Pacto Social”, solicitaron su modificación o, en contrapo­sición, ejercieron una defensa cerrada de su contenido original. Estas posturas encontradas afectaron el deve­nir de la gestión económica e influyeron en la modificación de los equi­librios de poder en la coalición políti­co-social oficialista.
Evaluating the Applications of an Arduino-Yun Powered Sitting Monitoring System
Authors: Kim Joshua
Published: October 2023

Prolonged sitting and poor sitting posture affect many people, especially in today's digital world.  This poor posture and prolonged sedentary lifestyle can cause many health effects, such as back problems, impaired digestion, and even cardiovascular disease. The process of correcting poor sitting posture may be easier to accomplish with assistance, as it requires constant attention and correction to maintain proper posture.  Thus, sitting posture monitoring systems may greatly benefit those who are looking to correct their sitting posture.  Four pressure sensors were wired to Arduino Yun on a sitting chair, on the right and left of the seat and backrest, respectively.

Furthermore, a computer algorithm and coding software were applied to monitor postural imbalances based on the inputs from the sensors.  After a thorough calibration, a user tested the system in three weekly sessions consisting of pre-treatment, treatment, and post-treatment modes to examine the system's functionality for monitoring the sitting patterns of the user.  Our system was able to detect poor sitting posture based on different positions of the user throughout the testing periods. It could differentiate the postural changes that occurred between the three treatment modes. Our monitoring system may serve as a tool to detect poor posture and facilitate the correction of any imbalances in the posture.
Evaluation of Analgesic Property of Drynaria quercifolia Rhizome Extract
Authors: Jagatheeswari R. , Prasanna G.
Published: October 2023

Analgesics are drugs that primarily relieve pain. The main class of painkillers is narcotics, which include additional drugs that are chemically based on morphine molecules. Phytochemicals are a more recent evolution of the term that highlights most of the plant sources of these protective and preventive compounds. Many herbal preparations are prescribed as analgesics in the traditional literature. The search for new analgesics from a large number of medicinal plant resources is intensifying. In this study, we performed a phytochemical screening and analgesic activity of the bark of Drynaria quercifolia. Phytochemicals have shown that the presence of terpenoids in flavonoids, phenols, saponins, glycosides, alkaloids, polyphenols, proteins, triterpenoids, bark of Drynaria quercifolia has been proven as analgesic activity. Drynaria quercifolia has strong analgesic properties mediated by peripheral and central inhibitory mechanisms. The potential mechanism of action of Drynaria quercifolia may be due to the synergistic action of the phytochemicals present in it. This can provide a justification for the use of this plant in pain and inflammatory diseases in natural medicine.

HIV-1 replication and pathogenicity: lessons from macaque-tropic HIV-1 derivatives
Authors: Koma Takaaki , Doi Naoya , Quoc Le Bao , Kondo Tomoyuki , Adachi Akio , Nomaguchi Masako
Published: October 2023

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is tropic for humans and replicates in virtually none of the other animal species. While various animal models to mimic the conflict between HIV-1 and human hosts have been proposed, nonhuman primates (NHPs) are thought to be most suitable from a purely scientific point of view for the HIV-1/AIDS model studies. Because NHPs are resistant to HIV-1, remodeling the HIV-1 genome is required to validate the productive infection of NHPs. Two types have been reported as retrofitted viruses, that is, SHIVs and HIV-1 derivatives. SHIVs are SIVs (simian immunodeficiency viruses) that carry a small portion of the HIV-1 genome, whereas HIV-1 derivatives are HIV-1 with a minimal sequence/genome modification. SHIVs have been successfully used for studies specifically targeting HIV-1 Pol-RT (reverse transcriptase) and Env proteins. HIV-1 derivatives can induce AIDS in NHPs under certain conditions. More importantly, HIV-1 derivatives contribute to elucidating the HIV-1 adaptation and virus-host interaction through analyzing the process of acquiring replication capacity and pathogenicity in restrictive hosts distinct from natural hosts. In this chapter, we summarize NHP model studies on HIV-1/AIDS using SIV, SHIV, or HIV-1 derivatives and discuss the significance of HIV-1 derivatives toward understanding the HIV-1 biology.

Authors: Zahariev Vili , Hristov Nikolai
Published: October 2023

The chapter “Introduction” defines terrorism as a phenomenon in the modern world. Introduced are the concepts of terrorism, radiological terrorism, mass fear, radiophobia, radiation accidents, and the possibilities for successful diagnostics and treatment in radiation accidents. The chapter “Possible Scenarios” describes the possible scenarios for deliberately exposing large groups to ionizing radiation, namely the detonation of nuclear warheads, an explosion in a nuclear installation or nuclear waste depot, a dirty bomb, the contamination of foods or waters, a source of ionizing radiation with high activity for contaminating a relatively small group of people with high doses. The chapter “Analysis of preceding radiological incidents” provides a quick historical recap of relevant incidents. The chapter “Health Consequences” focuses on the historical experience of radiation accidents in the past in terms of health consequences for the population and the adequateness of the reaction of medical personnel. The chapter “Psychological Effects” focuses on the disproportionate burden imposed by the psychological effects of radiation accidents – technogenic or man-made. The chapter “Medical Provision” focuses entirely on the clinical practice and public health background of radiation accidents.
Optimising Project Stakeholder Value Through Knowledge Management: A Social Capital Lens
Authors: Sharari Hakem
Published: October 2023

Knowledge is the essence of organisational performance; without knowledge nothing would be produced. Knowledge management can be simply seen as the processing of information to be introduced as business outcomes: projects, services and products. Having said this, organisations must be keen to put knowledge into practice. By adopting a social capital lens, this paper aims to shed light on the link between knowledge as a theoretical construct and its practical implications. The paper explores the role of social capital and networks in optimising project stakeholder value within three Jordanian telecommunication companies operating in a competitive, technology-based context. The structural, relational and cognitive dimensions of social capital are employed to understand how project stakeholders create, exchange and exploit knowledge to achieve their as well as their organisation’s objectives. The paper offers findings that support knowledge management as a determinant of overall organisational performance and help project managers to capitalise on social networks to optimise project stakeholder value.
Photosynthesis in Plants Undergoing Silencing
Authors: Kotakis Christos
Published: October 2023

RNA silencing shares common features among different eukaryotes. However little is known about the metabolic consequences of this mechanism relate to the (plant) cell homeostasis. Here, we probe the chlroroplast bioenergetics in transgenic plants undergoing silencing. An increased capacity for non-photochemical energy quenching followed by a limiting photosystem II functionality characterize the photosynthesis of silenced cells compared to non-silenced ones. These alterations are accompanied by a significant up-regulation of photosystem I, providing evidence for active cyclic electron flow in silencing conditions. The biological significance of our results is discussed related to possible energetic inter-communication between photosynthesis and RNA silencing.
Optimization on industrial problems focussing on multi-player strategies
Authors:   , Coma Company Martí
Published: October 2023

Algorithms (EA) are useful optimization methods for exploration of the search space, but they usually have slowness problems to exploit and converge to the minimum with accuracy. On the other hand, gradient based methods converge faster to local minimums, although are not so robust (e.g., flat areas and discontinuities can cause problems) and they lack exploration capabilities.
This thesis presents and analyze four versions of a hybrid optimization method trying to combine the virtues of Evolutionary Algorithms (EA) and gradient based algorithms, and to overcome their corresponding drawbacks. The proposed Hybrid Methods enables working with N optimization algorithms (called players), multiple objective functions and design variables, and define them differently for each player. The performance of the Hybrid Methods are compared against a gradient based method, two Genetic Algorithms (GA) and a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO).
Tests have been conducted with mathematical benchmark problems (synthetic tests designed to specifically test optimization methods) and an engineering application with high demanding computational resources, a Synthetic Jet actuator for Active Flow Control (AFC) over a 2D Selig-Donovan 7003 (SD7003) airfoil at Reynolds number 6 x 10^4 and a 14 degree angle of attack. The Active Flow control problem has been used in a single optimization problem and in a two objective optimization problem

Els Algoritmes Evolutius (EA) són mètodes d'optimització útils per a l'exploració de l'espai de cerca, però solen tenir problemes de lentitud per explotar-ne el mínim i convergir amb precisió. D'altra banda, els mètodes basats en gradients convergeixen més ràpidament als mínims locals, encara que no són tan robusts (per exemple, les àrees planes i les discontinuïtats poden causar problemes) i no tenen capacitats d'exploració. Aquesta tesi presenta i analitza quatre versions d'un mètode d'optimització híbrid que intenta combinar les virtuts dels Algoritmes Evolutius (EA) i els algoritmes basats en gradients, i superar-ne els inconvenients corresponents. Els Mètodes Híbrids proposats permeten treballar amb N algoritmes d'optimització (anomenats jugadors), múltiples funcions objectiu i variables de disseny, i definir-les de manera diferent per a cada jugador. El rendiment dels mètodes híbrids es compara amb un mètode basat en gradient, dos Algoritmes Genètics (GA) i un mètode d'optimització d'eixam de partícules (PSO). S'han fet proves amb problemes matemàtics de referència (proves sintètiques dissenyades per provar específicament mètodes d'optimització) i una aplicació d'enginyeria amb recursos computacionals molt exigents, un actuador de jet sintètic per a control de flux actiu (AFC) sobre un perfil aerodinàmic 2D Selig -Donovan 7003 (SD7003) al número de Reynolds 6 x 104 i un angle d'atac de 14 graus. El problema de control de flux actiu s'ha utilitzat en un problema d'optimització monoobjectiu i en un problema d'optimització de dos objectius.
En defensa de la máquina de vapor
Authors:   , Pérez del Río José
Published: October 2023

Esta tesis tiene el doble objeto de explicar porqué las máquinas de vapor desaparecieron casi totalmente y de demostrar como y porqué hay que volver a ellas, principalmente quemando carbón, todo ello para inducir a su aplicación solamente en aquellas potencias que en Marina se consideran pequeñas, es decir, que no sobrepasen los cinco mil caballos.

Con tal fin han de aplicarse como es obvio, los conocimientos actuales pero tomando cuidadosamente en cuenta las experiencias, positivas y negativas, de la época pasada.

Para una mayor claridad, el desarrollo de la tesis se ha dividido en cuatro partes que corresponden así a los cuatro temas, dos principales y dos menores, de que consta y que son:

Tema primero: Como eran, realmente, las máquinas de vapor de la época pasada y porqué desaparecieron.

Tema segundo: Como deberían ser las máquinas de vapor de la época venidera y particularidades más esenciales de su proyecto.

Tema tercero: La cuestión de los consumos específicos.

Tema cuarto: Cualidades generales de la máquina de vapor.

Authors: Karampinis Emmanouil , Lallas Aimilios , Lazaridou Elizabeth , Errichetti Enzo , Apalla Zoe
Published: October 2023

Introduction: Individuals with melanin-rich skin account for the majority of the world's population. However, literature data regarding dermoscopic characteristics of skin cancer in skin of color (SoC) are scarce. The dermoscopic characteristics of cutaneous tumors might differ among skin types due to heterogeneity in composition and pigmentation.
Objectives: To summarize literature data on the dermoscopic findings of skin neoplasms according to the skin color and race.
Methods:  The literature search was performed using the PubMed database up to December 30, 2022, and was conducted with the use of terms referring to dermoscopy, race (Caucasians, Hispanics, Asians, and Black/African), and skin cancer types (basal cell carcinoma [BCC], squamous cell carcinoma [SCC], keratoacanthoma, Bowen disease, and melanoma).
Results: In total, 30 race-specific records were included. Nine SoC records for BCCs (2 BCC studies in Hispanics, 1 BCC study in Black individuals, and 6 BCC studies in Asians), 9 SoC records for SCCs ( 1 SCC study in Hispanics ,1 SCC study in Black individuals and 7 SCCs in Asian population), and 8 SoC records for melanoma (2 melanoma studies in Hispanics, 1  in Blacks, and 5  in Asians) were compared with 4 records that involved only a Caucasian population, according to their participant section as well as with studies on dermoscopy characteristics without focusing on race origins and phototype of the patient.
Conclusion: Based on a review of studies including Caucasians, Hispanics, Asians and Blacks /Africans, SoC patients present with more frequent and unique dermatoscopy features of skin cancers.
La Rochepot de 1789 à 1914 : expansion et déclin d’un vignoble de l’Arrière-Côte beaunoise
Authors: Bonnefoy Jean-Marc
Published: October 2023

Le village de La Rochepot, proche du bourg de Nolay, dans l’Arrière-Côte beaunoise, est caractéristique de cette périphérie qui, de la fin du xviiie siècle au début du xxe, a connu un mode de développement original. Celui-ci s’est fondé sur l’essor d’une viticulture de vin « commun » (le cépage gamay) destinée à satisfaire les besoins d’une clientèle populaire croissante dans un contexte d’urbanisation et d’industrialisation. La conversion viticole au détriment de l’agriculture céréalière traditionnelle culmina dans les années 1855-1880 de prospérité à La Rochepot comme dans toute l’Arrière-Côte beaunoise avant l’invasion phylloxérique (en 1882). Avec la reconstitution du vignoble au début du xxe siècle, il n’y avait pourtant plus de place pour les vins ordinaires de la Côte-d’Or, concurrencés par les « usines à vin » du Languedoc et les importations de l’Algérie coloniale. Le déclin viticole et démographique fut accentué et aggravé par les deux guerres mondiales, avant un nouvel essor dans la seconde moitié du siècle.

Editorial: Catching Up With LRTS
Authors: Scott Rachel E. , Fernandez Michael
Published: October 2023

As we write this in July, it’s in the midst of record heatwaves and vacation travel, not to mention the start of the new fiscal year for many libraries. So it feels somewhat odd to be putting together our final issue of 2023. With that said, the amount of activity that’s already taken place by midsummer within Library Resources & Technical Services (LRTS) and ALA Core at large could fill a calendar year and then some. In pulling together this issue’s editorial, we felt it would be a good opportunity to get our readers up to speed with recent developments impacting Core as well as previewing what to expect in 2024.
Evaluating Purchase Plans for Niche Collecting Areas
Authors: Koger Victoria , Williams Virginia Kay
Published: October 2023

Many academic libraries collect art exhibition catalogues and juvenile books to support the curriculum, but academic library review sources and book vendors have limited coverage of these niche areas. For more than a decade, Wichita State University has used purchase plans from Worldwide Art Books and Junior Library Guild to acquire print books. This paper discusses the assessment of both plans, how experience with this assessment has influenced development of an assessment plan, and reasons other libraries may want to assess their own niche collecting plans.

The Association for Library Collections & Technical Services (ALCTS) Board of Directors approved the Core Competencies for Cataloging and Metadata Professional Librarians, hereafter referred to as the “Core Competencies,” in January 2017. The Core Competencies lists the skills required of professionals performing cataloging and metadata work in libraries of all types. In the six years since the document’s release, the cataloging and metadata community has adopted new cataloging standards, experimented with new tools, and engaged in conversations and reparative efforts around inclusive metadata. In this paper, we, the authors of the Core Competencies, report the results of our survey research that assessed the current use of the document within the cataloging and metadata community and solicited comments on ways in which the document might be revised. We conclude with recommendations for immediate changes to the document, and for its future use and maintenance.
Book Review: Copyright and Course Reserves: Legal Issues and Best Practices for Academic Libraries
Authors: Simonson Anna
Published: October 2023

From the creation of the first US federal copyright law in 1790 to the present, those charged with interpreting its meaning have faced a daunting task. Mark Twain joked near the turn of the twentieth century, “Only one thing is impossible for God: To find any sense in any copyright law on the planet.” Anticipating the passage of the 1976 Copyright Act, The New York Times predicted, “no bells are likely to ring [in celebration].” Why? “The matter is simply too technical, complicated and cumbersome for anyone but specialists to get very excited.”
Durability of mortar and concrete containing pozzolans as a partial cement replacement in the marine environment: a review

Published: October 2023

This paper reviews the durability of concrete containing pozzolans in marine environments, which mainly focuses on resistance to chloride ion penetration and sulfate attack. The results of previous literature showed that the main ions of seawater are almost similar but the salinity varies with location. The mechanism of chemical reaction between seawater and concrete was carefully reviewed and explained. Besides, the main attacks that caused the degradation of concrete structures in marine conditions were summarized. The results of previous research indicated that using pozzolans (fly ash, slag, metakaolin, rice husk ash, etc.) as a partial cement replacement in concrete improved the durability of concrete such as resistance to chloride ion penetration and resistance to sulfate. The use of pozzolans not only improves the durability of concrete in the marine environment but also solves environmental impacts such as reducing CO2 emissions and landfilling areas. It can be concluded that the utilization of pozzolans in concrete, particularly in marine concrete structures is a promising approach for sustainable development.
