The history of Bhubaneswar in the state of Odisha can be dated back to 3rd century B.C. It is the largest city in the state, popularly known as the ‘Temple Town’ or ‘Temple City’ which receives thousands of tourists every year for its attractions. The principle aim of this paper is to find out the factors influencing the destination attractiveness with the help of the perception of tourists in the temple city of Bhubaneswar through their level of satisfaction. Apart from that, the study analyzed that how the key elements of a destination can contribute to its attractiveness which further enhances the destination’s image. The method advised in the paper was questionnaire method where the responses were taken on a five-point Likert scale. A sample of 100 tourists was taken to find out their perception regarding destination attractiveness. The data was analyzed through descriptive statistics, factor analysis and correlation. From the study it was found out that the core determinants of the attractiveness are the facilities provided in the destination and its support services while the secondary determinants consist of people-related factors. It was also found out that the people related factors and the support services and facilities are complementary to each other when it comes to destination attractiveness.

The geoelectric section of the lithosphere is constructed down to a depth of 150 km based on the results of MT soundings carried out along the profile crossing the Khanka Massif from north to south. The crust and upper mantle structure of the massif is investigated. It has been found that the Khanka Massif is divided into the northern and southern parts bordered by the northern restriction of the Spassk Zone. A higher resistivity observed in the upper part of the section and the upper mantle is typical of the southern part of the massif. The northern part is characterized by two extended low-resistivity areas located beneath the southern boundaries of the Matveevka and Nakhimovka zones that penetrate from the upper mantle up to the surface. A comparison of the results obtained with the seismic prospecting and gravimetric data has shown their direct or indirect consistency.

CENTRAL CAUCASUS AS A SPACE OF SOCIO-POLITICAL INTERACTIONS: HISTORIOGRAPHICAL RESULTS AND RESEARCH PROSPECTS

Part of the preparatory work for writing a generalizing history of the Kabardin-Balkaria is summing up the results of a scientific study of its key problems, which include the interpretation of the traditional system of socio-political or inter-social interactions in the Central Caucasus. In the previous publication, the formation of the historiographical tradition in the 18th – early 20th centuries was considered. The proposed article aims to continue the study of this topic using the material of Soviet and post-Soviet historiography. The material considered in the article shows that the construction of a generalized concept of the traditional system of inter-social interactions in the Central Caucasus is a complex problem that touches upon the fundamental issues of the study of regional history. The first of them is the question of the applicability of categories developed in other social sciences or on historical material from other eras and regions to the North Caucasian reality of the 16th – 18th centuries. In this case, individual elements and relationships are identified with the structure of the system as a whole. Inter-social interactions that unfold both in space and in time receive a static, exclusively spatial representation. The second question is related to the need to differentiate ethnic and socio-political nomenclature in the representation of the Central Caucasus as a space of inter-social interactions. Contemporary historiography explicitly or implicitly places the social interactions of the owners and societies of the region in an “interethnic” and / or “ethnopolitical” context. Historical concepts to a certain extent are divorced from the sources of data of the 16th – 18th centuries, in which ethnic communities – "peoples" are never the subjects of inter-social interactions. A generalized interpretation of the historical experience of inter-social interactions in the Central Caucasus is possible on the basis of combining a “narrative”, descriptive approach with a “supra-ethnic” representation of the region as a space with a complex natural and social landscape. The most stable general function of the traditional system of inter-social interactions is the maintenance of order that is understandable to all their participants and ensured the reproduction of each ethno-social unit that occupies its own natural-ecological niche.

Strategi Pemasaran
Authors: Ramadani Ainun
Published: December 2021

Strategi Pemasaran sangat penting diterapkan pada semua bidang yang berkaitan dengan bisnis. Hal tersebut dikarenakan ketatnya persaingan di bidang bisnis menuntut semua pelaku bisnis berpikir secara kreatif dan inovatif untuk menarik perhatian konsumen. Dalam konteks ini pesaingan haruslah dilakukan secara positif sebagai bentuk perlombaan dalam menghasilkan dan memberikan nilai tambah yang lebih baik kepada konsumen. Konsumen tidak terlalu peduli suatu produk dibuat oleh negara mana dan dengan teknologinya, melainkan lebih menekankan pada kegunaan dan keunggulan dari produk tersebut dengan produk pesaing lainnya. Dengan demikian kekuatan utama yang berperan penting dalam melahirkan inovasi-inovasi terbaru dari produk tersebut yaitu untuk menawarkan keunggulannya berasal dari sumber daya manusia dengan berbagai macam riset dan pengembangannya. Persaingan yang sangat tajam pada dunia bisnis baik dalam pasar domestik maupun internasional untuk memenangkan persaingan perusahaan harus mampu memberikan kesan yang baik kepada para konsumennya yang berkaitan dengan produk, misalnya: hubungan antara harga dan produk, kualitas produk, manfaat produk, desain produk, brand image dan jenis produk yang di tawarkan kepada konsumen.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Longitudinal Models: A Primer on Model Selection for Repeated-Measures Methods
Authors: McCormick Ethan Michael , Byrne Michelle L , Flournoy John Coleman , Mills Kathryn L. , Pfeifer Jennifer H
Published: December 2021

Longitudinal data is becoming increasingly available in developmental neuroimaging. To maximize the promise of this wealth of information on how biology, behavior, and cognition change over time, there is a need to incorporate broad and rigorous training in longitudinal methods into the repertoire of developmental neuroscientists. Fortunately, these models have an incredibly rich tradition in the broader developmental sciences that we can draw from. Here, we provide a primer on longitudinal models, written in a beginner-friendly (and slightly irreverent) manner, with a particular focus on selecting among different modeling frameworks (e.g., multilevel versus latent curve models) to build the theoretical model of development a researcher wishes to test. Our aims are three-fold: 1) lay out a heuristic framework for longitudinal model selection, 2) build a repository of references that ground each model in its tradition of methodological development and practical implementation with a focus on connecting researchers to resources outside traditional neuroimaging journals, and 3) provide practical resources in the form of a codebook companion demonstrating how to fit these models. These resources together aim to enhance training for the next generation of developmental neuroscientists by providing a solid foundation for future forays into advanced modeling applications.
Infants and toddlers leverage their understanding of action goals to evaluate agents who help others
Authors: Woo Brandon Matthew , Spelke Elizabeth
Published: December 2021

Do infants and toddlers prefer actors who help others achieve their goals? To address this question, we focused on a developmental change in early action understanding. Eight-month-old infants and 15-month-old toddlers (n = 72, 44% female, 68% White) differently evaluated two agents who engaged in the same actions, showing opposite preferences, consistent with their developing means-end understanding. Moreover, 8-month-old infants (n = 64, 43% female, 63% White) correctly inferred an individual’s goal and valued the agent who fostered it when the means-end action was replaced by a superficially similar direct action. These findings, from experiments that controlled all social cues (including imitation, synchrony, and positive affect), show that infants’ evaluations depend, in part, on their understanding of goal-directed behavior.

Authors: Horbath Corredor Jorge Enrique
Published: December 2021

En este artículo se establecen los determinantes de las diferencias de las funciones de mortalidad entre pacientes indígenas y no indígenas al iniciar la propagación de la pandemia de COVID-19. Procesando la información del 22 de mayo de 2020 de la Secretaría de Salud de México, se realizan análisis de supervivencia al contrastar a pacientes contagiados con el virus que hablan y no hablan lengua indígena mediante modelos de Kaplan-Meier y modelos de riesgo proporcional de Cox. Para ello se toma como variable dependiente el tiempo desde el inicio de los síntomas hasta su deceso y como covariables sus características sociodemográficas y las características territoriales de los municipios de residencia. Al final se determina que la tasa de contagio es del 43 % en los pacientes indígenas y 35.4 % en los no indígenas mientras que la tasa de letalidad en indígenas contagiados es del 20.4 % y del 11 % en no indígenas, lo cual confirma la hipótesis de que los pacientes indígenas presentan menor probabilidad de sobrevivir.

Authors: Baeninger Rosana , Demétrio Natália Belmonte , Domeniconi Jóice de Oliveira Santos
Published: December 2021

Esse trabalho tem por objetivo analisar as migrações venzuelanas recentes para o Brasil, destacando a participação do Estado brasileiro na gestão desse fluxo. A pesquisa parte de uma periodização que distingue três momentos principais desse fenômeno, cada um dos quais com características sociodemográficas específicas. A metamorfose destes processos migratórios para o país expressa transformações importantes na governabilidade dessa população, apresenta diferentes categorizações estabelecidas institucionalmente no enquadramento normativo dessas pessoas, ao mesmo tempo em que estabelece uma agenda de pesquisa sobre as desigualdades de gênero e geração transversais a essa migração. Em termos metodológicos, são utilizadas três fontes de informação baseadas em registros administrativos da Polícia Federal brasileira, do Comitê Nacional para Refugiados e da Operação Acolhida-Organização Internacional para as Migrações. O uso destes dados, mesmo diante de potenciais limitações, corrobora a reconstrução do fluxo migratório venezuelano recente para o Brasil como processo heterogêneo, permeado por seletividades e formas de regulamentação demograficamente diferenciadas.
A common underlying genetic contribution to the co-occurrence of depressive symptoms and lower blood pressure in adolescents
Authors: Wang Yuan Ko , Xu Jun- Ming
Published: December 2021

Background: Depression and cardiovascular disease risk factors develop in childhood. The objective of this study was to investigate cross sectional and longitudinal associations between blood pressure, mood scores and tagged SNPs within the Monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) gene in the Western Australian Pregnancy Cohort (Raine) Study. Methods: Data from the five (n=1097), eight (n=1046), ten (n=1026) and fourteen (n=1124) year surveys were used. Blood pressure was measured at all surveys, anxious-depressed scores obtained from the Childhood Behavior Checklist at all surveys and depressive symptom scores from the Beck Depression Inventory for Youth at 14 years. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) tagging the MAOA gene were identified from HapMap Phase II (CEU) data and genotyped. Cross sectional and longitudinal analyses were used to examine the association between blood pressure (outcome) and tagged SNPs within the MAOA gene and anxious/depressed scores (outcome) and tagged SNPs within the MAOA gene. Results: At 14 years, boys with the risk allele of SNP rs5905859 and rs3027396 had higher systolic blood pressure (βrs5905859=2.5; 95% CI: 0.743, 4.337 and βrs3027396=2.5; 95% CI: 0.681, 4.383 respectively) and lower mood scores (βrs5905859=-0.1; 95% CI: -0.100, -0.022 and βrs3027396=-0.2; 95% CI: -0.313,-0.045 respectively). Longitudinally, boys with the risk allele of SNPs rs5905859 (β=0.3; 95% CI: 0.026, 0.540) or rs6609257 (β= 0.3; 95% CI: 0.022, 0.521) had a higher mean systolic blood pressure trajectory compared to boys without. Conclusions: Variation within or close to the MAOA gene may explain in part the association between lower depressive symptom scores and higher systolic blood pressure in Caucasian boys within the Raine cohort.

Kidney transplantation is the appropriate treatment for patients with end stage kidney disease. Although it offers survival and quality of life, it is still costing and has its complications such as transplantation failure mainly due to immunological reactions. The main objective of the present study is to describe a case study of a patient with renal failure and kidney fibrosis. Kidney transplantation was recommended. The patient and his family asked for possible alternative therapeutic options. The patient was male, 26 years age. The therapeutic option was a combination of the crude extract of Ammi visnaga and the powder of dried leaves of Urtica pillulifera mixed with honey. This regimen was applied for 21 days. At the end of the regimen, both creatinine and urea were restored to their physiological limits. Taken together, it is possible to use herbs of medical importance to replace kidney transplantation.

Published: December 2021

Distinguishing sarcoidosis from pulmonary tuberculosis can be a great challenge to physicians, especially in Tunisia where there is high prevalence of tuberculosis. Both tuberculosis and sarcoidosis are granulomatous diseases; however, necrosis is commun in tuberculosis and less commun in sarcoidosis. The presence of necrosis may lead to an excessive diagnosis of tuberculosis. We present the case of a 48 years old female in which nasosinusal tuberculosis was retained face to granulomatous inflammation with little fields of necrosis. The patient was treated for many months without healing. The diagnosis was revised when evolutive pulmonary lesions were observed while the patient was under well conducted anti-tubercular treatment. Sarcoidosis was in fine retained with good response to corticosteroid therapy.

Administration of the Estate under Regulation (EU) No. 650/2012
Authors: Górecki Jacek
Published: December 2021

In the period between the deceased person’s death and division of assets in the deceased person’s estate among the heirs, an essential matter is administration of the estate. Persons exercising such administration should have adequate competences allowing them to perform factual and legal acts in relation to assets in the succession estate. The range of such persons and the scope of their competences differ in specific Member States of the EU. The law applicable to the administration of the estate, as well as other matters relating to succession, is currently designated by the Regulation (EU) No. 650/2012. This article is devoted to an analysis of the provisions of that Regulation on the administration of the estate. In addition, the article discusses the issue of qualifying the institution of succession administration as applicable in Poland with regard to an enterprise belonging to the succession estate. As a result of the investigations made, it can be concluded that administration of the estate is governed by the law applicable to the entirety of succession matters (lex successionis). This is the case also in respect of the succession administration recently introduced in Poland. Grounds for a different treatment of the succession administration cannot be found in Art. 30 of Regulation (EU) No. 650/2012.
The Effect of Organochlorine Insecticides on Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) Deaths Seen in Adana Region
Authors: SEĞMENOĞLU Mansur Seymen
Published: December 2021

Our society has attached great importance to beekeeping and honey since the past, and the popularity of other bee products in recent years has made beekeeping and bee health even more important. There are many reasons that can cause colony loss, which is seen together with intense deaths in bees, one of them is death due to toxicity caused by pesticides. In the study, 188 bee samples received between January and April 2015-2018 in Adana region were examined. These samples were examined qualitatively in terms of organochlorine pesticides by scanning the pesticides with gas chromatography device and scanning analysis method with GC-MS technique in materials with suspected poisoning. In the examination of the bee samples, there was no detectable level of any substance in terms of organochlorine pesticides. This situation showed that organochlorine pesticides did not play a role in bee colony losses in the samples received in Adana province and its surroundings between 2015-2018 due to the suspicion of toxicity due to heavy bee deaths. It should be kept in mind that deaths with massive bee colony losses may be due to different pesticide types and / or subacute and acute diseases.

Authors: DİNLER AY Ceren
Published: December 2021

The aim of this study was to evaluate the serum concentration of iron, copper and zinc in neonatal lambs naturally infected with Cryptosporidium parvum, and to determine the relations between these trace elements and the clinical severity of the disease. For this purpose, neonatal lambs infected with Cryptosporidium parvum (n=27) and healthy control lambs (n=10) were evaluated. Faecal consistency, willingness to rise, stance when up, appetite, attitude, and hydration status were scored within the scope of clinical examination in infected lambs. Thus, clinical health scores were calculated for each lamb to quantify the clinical severity of the disease. Iron, copper and zinc concentrations were measured from serum samples of lambs in both groups. Compared to the healthy control lambs, serum iron and zinc concentrations were significantly lower in infected lambs (p < 0.001 and p < 0.05, respectively), while there was no difference between the two groups in terms of serum copper concentrations. Additionally, a significant negative correlation (r=-0.60; p
Best practices in CBD programs in sub-Saharan Africa: Lessons learned from research and evaluation
Authors:   Frontiers in Reproductive Health,   Family Health International,   Advance Africa
Published: December 2021

Community-based distribution (CBD) is the use of nonprofessional local distributors or agents to provide family planning (FP) methods—typically condoms, pills, and spermicides—and referral for other services. FP programs in Africa, Asia, and Latin America have implemented CBD programs for the past 30 years. There is a large body of evidence on the effectiveness, cost, and sustainability of CBD models. Most evidence supports using CBD where appropriate conditions exist. However, major changes have taken place in the context in which programs operate, including the onset of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, enhanced access to FP services, and increased demand for related reproductive health care. These changes call for a review of CBD’s relevance—particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. This seminar was organized by the Population Council’s Frontiers in Reproductive Health Program, Family Health International, and Advance Africa and attended by participants of the U.S. Agency for International Development and collaborating agencies. Key issues reviewed are detailed in this document.
Kenya: Community sensitization must precede alternative coming-of-age rite
Authors:   Frontiers in Reproductive Health
Published: December 2021

Female genital cutting (FGC) is practiced as a rite of passage in over half of Kenya’s districts. Kenyan nongovernmental agency Maendeleo Ya Wanawake (MYWO) has long conducted community sensitization focused on discouraging this practice. In 1996, MYWO began implementing the “alternative rite” (AR) intervention in sensitized communities. Girls participating in AR receive family life education in seclusion, followed by a public graduation ceremony recognizing them as adults. They are not cut as part of the ceremony. In 2000, the Population Council carried out an assessment of the AR program that sought to identify the impact of MYWO’s activities on knowledge and attitudes regarding FGC, reproductive health, and gender equity. Data were collected through focus group discussions, interviews, household surveys, and case studies of AR-participating families. As this brief states, where cultural support for female circumcision is weakening, communities are more likely to accept sensitization messages encouraging abandonment of the practice and to participate in an alternative coming-of-age ceremony for girls. However, such alternative ceremonies must be preceded by extensive sensitization that changes attitudes and must be tailored to fit cultural norms for rite of passage.
Zimbabwe: CBD roles modified to address Zimbabwe's HIV/AIDS crisis
Authors:   Frontiers in Reproductive Health
Published: December 2021

In September 1999, the Zimbabwe National Family Planning Council (ZNFPC) and the Population Council initiated a one-year study to assess the performance of ZNFPC’s community-based distribution (CBD) program. A continual decline in the program’s productivity, combined with the expanding HIV/AIDS epidemic, indicated a need to reconsider ZNFPC’s objectives and revise the roles and responsibilities of its full-time, salaried CBD agents. The study examined the productivity, costs, and potential sustainability of the CBD program. Researchers gathered information by reviewing program documents through 1999. They also interviewed program managers, district and community nurses, and community leaders and CBD agents from eight regions. They assessed community views through focus group discussions with female CBD clients, male and female users and nonusers of family planning, and youth. As noted in this brief, the study revealed a need to reorient the program to fit the country’s changing reproductive health needs—specifically the country’s growing HIV/AIDS crisis. The organization incorporated the study findings in a pilot program to improve organizational efficiency while focusing agents’ efforts on the HIV/AIDS crisis.

The research on the development of "Listening" practice using Text2Speech Applications aims to develop teaching of English, ‘Listening’ for teachers and students who are not experts in the field of information technology. This study tries to discuss how to adopt and adapt Text-to-Speech software / applications in teaching and learning of English. Text2Speech is a computer application (software) that makes it possible to convert written text into spoken text so that it can be heard. By using the Text2Speech application, written text in MS Word format can be converted into spoken text. Text2Speech allows any text to be read in a computer-synthesized voice. By utilizing Text2Speech, written text can be read and sounded so that it can be heard by the user. Text2Speech allows users to determine how to pronounce a word, phrase, sentence, and even text or parts of text. By utilizing the Text2Speech application, teachers and students get "listening" learning materials in native speakers' voices, so that students get used to hearing "listening" teaching materials from native speakers.
Considering the Diverse Views of Ecologisation in the Agrifood Transition: An Analysis Based on Human Relationships with Nature
Authors: Magda Danièle , Lamine Claire , Billaud Jean-Paul
Published: December 2021

This article aims to characterise the visions of ecologisation found within scientific approaches embraced by different epistemic communities, and which have inspired empirical work and public action on agrifood system transitions. Based on comparative readings of works anchored in our two disciplinary fields (ecology and sociology), we identified six large ensembles of epistemic communities as well as their points of convergence and divergence. We identify six ideotypical visions of ecologisation based on the types of ‘relationships to nature’ embedded in these large sets of epistemic communities: protectionism, functionalism, structuralism, post-structuralism, relational and pragmatist-experience-based. We suggest that pragmatist-experience-based approaches allow us to transcend two classical oppositions: between realism and constructivism, and between a conception of nature as passive and external as opposed to active and relational. Without claiming to offer a detailed analysis of these approaches, we hope that our work can be used as a tool to support reflection among scientists and other actors involved in agrifood system transitions.
Antifeminismus als ‚Männerproblem‘? Eine sozialpsychologische Diskussion
Authors: Fritzsche Christopher
Published: December 2021

Der Artikel problematisiert die weitverbreitete These, bei antifeministischen Haltungen handle es sich vorrangig um ein ‚Problem von Männern‘. Im Vergleich zweier aktueller Einstellungsuntersuchungen wird gezeigt, dass sich mit Blick auf die Empirie nicht eindeutig von einem ‚Männerproblem‘ sprechen lässt. In theoretischer Hinsicht wird kritisiert, dass die These des ‚Männerproblems‘ häufig mit einem verengten sozialpsychologischen Fokus einhergeht, der sich zu stark auf die Anfälligkeit von Männern für im weiteren Sinne autoritäre Haltungen konzentriert. In der Diskussion von Grundlagentexten aus der Psychoanalyse und der frühen Autoritarismusforschung wird hier deshalb ein erweiterter Erklärungsansatz vorgeschlagen, der die psychische Verfasstheit der vergeschlechtlichten Subjekte als entscheidendes Kriterium für antifeministisches und autoritäres Denken in den Mittelpunkt stellt. Diese Perspektive kann dabei helfen, die widersprüchliche Verbreitung von Sexismus und Antifeminismus in der Gesellschaft besser zu verstehen.
Die lebensweltorientierte Berufsidentität in Zeiten der „Furcht vor der Freiheit 2.0“
Authors: Meller Dennis
Published: December 2021

In diesem Artikel wird den Fragen nachgegangen, wie sich eine spezifische lebensweltorientierte Berufsidentität im Kontext der aktuellen gesellschaftlichen Rollbacks und des grassierenden Antisemitismus darstellt und inwieweit diese Berufsidentität in der Praxis der Sozialen Arbeit Orientierung bieten kann. Die Auseinandersetzung mit diesen Fragen erfolgt unter Berücksichtigung dreier Aspekte: des Phänomens des Antisemitismus, der lebensweltorientierten Berufsidentität nach Hans Thiersch und der historischen und aktuellen Autoritarismusforschung. Zweck der Beschreibung dieser Aspekte ist es, die facettenreichen Artikulationsformen des Antisemitismus, die fundamentale Trias der Lebensweltorientierung und die historische Kontinuität der Autoritarismusforschung sowie die Relation zwischen Autoritarismus und Antisemitismus aufzuzeigen, um darauf basierend Orientierungshilfen für die lebensweltorientierte Praxis zu skizzieren. Da die Hochschulausbildung für die Professionalität der Studierenden von eminenter Bedeutung ist, wird abschließend ein Schlaglicht auf die antisemitismuskritische Hochschulausbildung der Sozialen Arbeit und ihre aktuellen Defizite geworfen. Der Verfasser erhofft sich mit diesem Artikel zur Positionierung der lebensweltorientierten Berufsidentität im Kontext des aktuellen Antisemitismus beizutragen.

Published: December 2021

The cracking mechanisms of 316L heat exchanger tubes employed in power station were studied using optical microscope (OM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). It is demonstrated that the hardness value, microstructure and tensile properties of selected #1 and #2 tube samples all meet the requirements of relevant standards, but the contents of Ni and Mo element of #1 tube are slightly lower than the standard requirements. The circumferential cracks on the two samples nucleate at the corrosion pits on the inner wall of the tubes, while Cl element was detected in the corrosion products of these pits. The cracks propagate from the inner wall to the outer wall along the circumferential direction of the tube, forming a dendritic crack morphology with both transgranular and intergranular propagation characteristics. Combined with the investigation of the service condition of the heat exchanger tubes and the analysis of the experimental results, it can be concluded that the main reason for cracking is the initiation of pin-corrosion when the content of chloride ion exceeds the standard during the service of the tubes, which will induce stress corrosion cracking, causing crack expansion through the wall thickness, and finally lead to leakage of the tube. In addition, from the point of view of materials, Mo is an important element to improve the pitting resistance of materials. The content of Mo element detected in the samples is lower than the standard requirement, which is also one of the reasons for the easy pitting corrosion of the inner wall of the pipe.
Mechanical Characteristics and Failure Modes of Low-Strength Rock Samples with Dissimilar Fissure Dip Angles
Authors: Wang Y L , Liu D S , Li K , Hu X M , Chen D
Published: December 2021

The mechanical characteristics and failure modes of low-strength rock sample with various fissure dip angles were investigated by conventional uniaxial compression test and three-dimensional (3D) crack reconstruction. The results indicated that compared with high-strength rock masses, cracks had different influences on the low-strength rock mass mechanical deformation features. Thereinto, the dip angle of fissures can cause post-peak failure stage of stress-strain curve change from swift decline to multi-step down, showing obvious ductility deformation and failure characteristics. Peak strength and elastic modulus owned an anti-S-shaped growth tendency with the growth of fissure dip angle, which was positively correlated and greatest subtle to the fissure dip angle α < 21° and α > 66.5°. The axial peak strain reduced first and enlarged rapidly with growing fissure dip angle, suggesting a V-shaped change trend. Increasing the fissure dip angle will change the sample failure mode, experienced complete tensile failure to tensile-shear composite failure, and ultimately to typical shear failure. Also, the crack start angle decreased with enlarging fissure dip angle, larger than that the high-strength rock mass fissure dip angle. The above research findings can complement and improve the study of fissured rock masses.

Published: December 2021

The degradation of oxacillin in aqueous solution by strong ionization dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) was explored. The effects of input voltage, initial pH, initial concentration of solution and hydroxyl (·OH) inhibitor on the removal efficiency of OXA were investigated. The results showed that the removal efficiency of OXA with initial concentration of 20mg/L reached 91.5% under the optimal treatment conditions of 3.8 kV and 7.3 pH. With the higher voltage and the lower initial concentration, the removal effect was better. The pH of the solution has little effect on the removal efficiency, and the removal effect is the best in neutral aqueous solution. The inhibition effect of TBA was stronger than that of CO32- and HCO3-. Moreover, ·OH was the main active substance in the process of strong ionization discharge, which played a major role in the removal of OXA. In addition, two main by-products were identified, the transformation pathways including hydroxylation (+16 Da), decarboxylation (-44 Da) were observed. This study provided a theoretical basis for the effective removal of antibiotics in water by strong ionization discharge.
